Energy Minister Rich Coleman is exploring options to rein in B.C. Hydro rate increases, including the possibility of decommissioning two of its old dams that need costly reconstruction to withstand an earth-quake.
Ruskin Dam in the Fraser Valley and the John Hart Dam on Van-couver Island are being studied to determine if they can be decommis-sioned, Coleman told Black Press in an inter-view Thursday.
The 80-year-old Ruskin Dam is slated for an almost complete reconstruction to make it earthquake safe. B.C. Hydro estimates the project would take six years and cost as much as $850 million, to preserve a dam and upgrade a powerhouse to supply about 33,000 homes.

To build a road through farm-land to draw traffi c off another, Pitt Meadows will have to pave over much of the green space along an undeveloped commer-cial strip to its north.
With a price tag of $10 mil-lion, excluding the cost of land acquisition, the proposed North
Lougheed Connector is a thor-oughfare the city doesn’t have the cash to pay for.
Add on the costs of building an interchange at Harris Road and Lougheed Highway and the bill spikes to $31 million.
“The business case for the road is based on development,” said chief administrative offi cer Jake Rudolph.
“It is for regional traffi c and the city’s view is that it has to be funded by other means than the city’s coffers. Development is go-ing to be needed to trigger that road.”
Pitt Meadows council is now tasked with deciding how much of the land needs to be developed to fund it.
Three options were presented to council Tuesday by Fortune 500 company AECOM, which is leading a review of the North Lougheed land, with input from an agrologist, economist, land-use and urban planning experts, as well as a transportation engi-neer.
The $40,000 study is consider-ing 50.9 hectares (125 acres) of land all the way to the yet-to-be built North Lougheed Connector,
much of it agricultural.The fi rst option pitches devel-
opment, including big stores, a hotel or conference centre, show-rooms or a business park on 35 hectares (86 acres), while leaving 16 hectares (39.5 acres) for farm-ing or other agricultural uses, like a land trust or food process-ing facility. It’s an option that won’t cover the costs of building the road.
The second sets aside 12 hect-ares (30 acres) for farming, while the third proposes developing the entire site.

From his offi ce in Pitt Meadows’ transformed civic centre, Don
MacLean looks out at a view that he helped craft.
He points to the old B.C. As-sessment building, the town-houses along Harris Road, the ultra-modern glass So-laris towers, the patch of land that will soon house a seniors’ pavilion, the gathering place that is Spirit Square.
Further south, there’s a renewed hockey arena and the waterfront community of Osprey Village – the latter his “pride and joy.”

Meet the Comeaus, Canada’s most Ca-nadian family.
Or so it would seem, after the Conservatives, Liberals, and NDP each used images of the Maple Ridge family in their campaign literature and political ads.
Ron Comeau is a local photographer. He has been taking and selling photos of his family to a stock photo agency since 2005, between 100 and 200 photos in all, by his estimate. Comeau’s wife, Elaine, is originally from Malaysia, and pictures of the multiracial couple and their children – Abigail, 7, Justin, 4, and Naomi, 2 – have been a hot seller for use in ad-vertisements for everything from condos to dentistry.
Apparently the family rep-resents the target voter for the three major political par-ties in the country, as well.
Last year a friend men-tioned to Comeau that he saw the family’s picture in an NDP fl yer.
More recently, a picture of Comeau’s daughter Abigail appeared in Conservative
television ad, now available online at Youtube.com.
A picture of Ron, Elaine, and Abigail also appeared in the Liberal Party of Canada’s platform document, which
attempts to convince voters of the party’s commitment to Canadian families.
“We had no idea they were all using our photos,” Comeau said. “They buy the
photos from the agency, so we don’t know who’s using what until we see it.”
Comeau said he doesn’t mind his family being used by the different political par-
ties in their ads, and his fam-ily is proud to be the face of the typical Canadian family, whatever that is.
“In the past, they’ve tak-en some fl ack for using
stock photos of people who weren’t even Canadian,” says Comeau. “They just bought them online, they didn’t know where they were from.
“But we’re Canadian, and we’re proud Canadians.”
Comeau loves to play hock-ey, and while he doesn’t curl, he’d sooner stop off at a Tim Horton’s than a Starbucks.
One of the things he’s most proud to be a Canadian about is the acceptance of different cultures.
“We’ve never experienced any racism,” he says.
Despite all the attention from the country’s major po-litical parties, Comeau says his family is not politically active.
“I’ve reached the point in life where I’ve gone through enough elections, and Lord knows we have them about every year in Canada, to know that what’s said before an election, and what hap-pens afterwards, doesn’t al-ways match up.”
Parties pick Comeaus as perfect family
Mandeep Bhuller’s campaign staff and volunteers are still supporting him even though he was convicted of drunk driving for an incident in 2003, even one whose mother was killed by a drunk driver.
“They appreciate the gravity of my bad choice, but they don’t hold up a bad choice eight years old against me because there’s a consistency of public service before and after the incident,” Bhuller said Thursday.
Since word came out Wednesday about his conviction, the Liberal candidate for Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission said he’s been getting phone calls from friends, acquain-tances and the public that have been
“understanding and supportive.”Bhuller’s offi cial agent Brian Rice
said the party expected the issue to come out during the cam-paign, but not as early as it did, and wanted to be the fi rst to do it.
The issue had a per-sonal meaning for Rice. His mother was killed by a drunk driver when he was 16. That required serious personal refl ection for him, but he noted that Bhuller has paid his penalty and it shouldn’t have prevented him from seeking offi ce.
Rice is writing a personal letter of support for Bhuller that was to be e-mailed Thursday to supporters and the media.
“This is my letter of support. I know about this and I’m supporting him.”
Campaign organizers had dis-cussed the issue, but hadn’t decided
when they would have made it pub-lic.
Bhuller also called each campaign worker Wednesday night to explain the situation.
“We have not had a single person leave the campaign yet,” Rice said.
Bhuller is not assuming the conviction won’t hurt his chances at the polls May 2.
“Quite honestly, it would be arrogant and irrespon-sible for me to say that,” he added.
“Every voter makes their choice based on what they feel is rel-evant information. All I’m saying is that I’m extremely apologetic about a very bad choice that was made eight years ago.”
Bhuller was stopped in Nov. 29, 2003 after leaving a bar and charged with two counts, driving with a blood level over .08 and impaired driving.
Both charges are normally laid in such cases with one usually dropped and the other prosecuted.
He fought the impaired driving charge in 2005, but was convicted, fi ned $800 and banned from driving for a year.
Former B.C. premier Gordon Campbell also was convicted for drunk driving in Hawaii in January 2003.
Bhuller served on Maple Ridge school board from 1999 to 2002 and pointed out that he wasn’t in public offi ce at the time of the conviction.
“This was something that hap-pened to me when I was wasn’t en-gaged in public service. But I didn’t get a public platform to announce that this occurred.”
He also disclosed it on his screen-ing forms he fi lled out for the Lib-eral party for the 2011 election, but given his community service before and since the incident, the party ap-proved his candidacy.
Bhuller is a consultant who helps fundraise for non-profi t groups. He also volunteers with the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Arts Council and serves as a commissioner on the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows parks and leisure services commission and as a volunteer director with the Maple Ridge Youth Centre Society. In the past three years, he’s helped raise money for the Ridge Meadows Child Development Centre.
Bhuller has discussed his drunk driving conviction over the years during his involvement in youth crime prevention and recreation programs, but until Thursday it hadn’t been in the campaign. But he couldn’t say if he would have dis-closed it or not during the election if hadn’t come out in the media.
“I can’t say that I wouldn’t have – because given a situation where it needed to be addressed, I wouldn’t shy away from it. I wouldn’t back away from it, that’s all I can say.”

“I have suddenly realized I have noth-ing more to prove,” says MacLean. “Pretty much everything I set out to accomplish, we’ve accomplished.”
Born in Boston, Mas-sachusetts in 1948, MacLean grew up in Toronto.
He moved out west in 1971, eventually land-ing a job at Sharpe’s Agency, an insurance broker owned by for-mer Pitt Meadows mayor Danny Sharpe.
With a mentor like Sharpe, it seemed nat-ural for MacLean to dive into city politics.
He was elected to council in 1990, knock-ing a sitting council-lor off his seat by 100 votes.
Back then, he thought he’d stick around for just one term. Twenty-one years later, he’s glad he lingered lon-ger.
“It kind of grabs you. It’s addictive,” he says.
MacLean now owns the insurance agency founded by Sharpe and has relocated to com-mercial space on the ground level on one of
the Solaris towers.On Wednesday, after
three months of con-templation, and eighth terms on council – four as mayor – MacLean decided it was time to tell the city he’ll be taking a back seat come November.
He’s ready to pass the baton to someone else, sail out on a high point, you might say.
“The city will never be fi nished,” says MacLean. There will always be projects to complete, neighbour-hoods to transform
and funding to lobby for.
“At some point in time, when you are happy with what you’ve done, you have no regrets, you can leave with a clear con-scious.”
In November, when he hangs up his chain of offi ce, he intends to go travelling with his fi ancée Diana. He’d like to enjoy life and leisurely pursuits when he’s still young and healthy. Frank-ly, he jokes, there are enough plaques
around the city with his name on it.
“I could keep on do-ing this, but one day they would fi nd me slumped in my chair dead or maybe they would fi nd me after three days and nobody would notice,” Ma-cLean says wryly.
MacLean credits much of what has been accomplished during his 21 years in offi ce to having worked with great council members and an incredible staff who have shared his dedication to the city.
Councillors rarely squabble and seldom disagree these days. MacLean believes it’s because everyone on council is more than just a colleague, they are friends. Coun. Doug Bing is MacLean’s den-tist, Gwen O’Connell is his Starbucks compan-ion.
“Friendships always go far beyond politics. It’s the respect you have for each other. After I leave, all these people will still be my friends.”
He hopes the next
mayor of Pitt Meadows is member of his coun-cil.
“Anyone of my coun-cillors can do this job. It’s not rocket science. It takes common sense. It takes patience.
“And you will see sev-eral of the councillors will decide to run for mayor,” says MacLean.
Despite being asked several times before, he won’t be climbing up the political ladder, either. Provincial and federal politics are too vicious for his liking.
“I rather be a small fi sh in a small pond than anything else. I looked at what Marc Dalton went through. I really felt for him. I would not do well there.”
A boxing enthusiast, and Mike Tyson fan, MacLean likens his exit to leaving while you still hold the champion-ship title.
He heard hundreds of boxers say: Just one more fi ght.
“They don’t go down in the history books. They are just a foot note. I think politicians can be the same.”
‘I suddenly realized I have nothing left to prove’Mayor from front
Advice to his successor:• tell the truth;• always be honest;• when half a dozen people show up and they are really unhap-py with something at a public hearing, think about the 17,000 that didn’t show up – the people who are largely happy are the silent majority.

TIRESLately we’ve encountered a recurring tire
issue that I’ve been meaning to address in this format but quite honestly we’ve been so busy lately I haven’t had the time to sit down and write about it. On all vehicles manufactured and sold in North America there is a minimum tire size and tire rating that must be adhered to by law, or your insurance coverage might not kick in. This becomes a huge issue for those of you that use your vehicle to tow stuff, like trailers, boats, toys, etc! Or those of you that drive motor homes.
Recently we’ve had many such vehicles arrive at our shop with tires that are under rated for their applications. Tire ratings for the most part apply to the amount of plys which are layered into the tire during its construction. Simply put, the more plys you have in your tires, the stronger those tires become. My example today will relate to two pickups used for towing and one motor home, as they both share the same tire stress levels due to their extreme weight factors.
While doing an annual pre-trip inspection for one of our motor home clients, that is a complete vehicle safety inspection before the RV season begins, we noticed that his RV was riding on Load Range D/8ply tires, when it should have been riding on Load Range E/10 ply tires. A motor home is considered an extreme heavy loaded vehicle and in its daily normal operation will create some huge stress loads that transfer directly thru to the tires.
Remember when you’re traveling down the road the entire weight of the vehicle you drive is being supported, in the case of this motor home, by six fi st-sized contact points on the highway. For those of you that can’t relate to this, let me be the fi rst to inform you, six fi st-sized contact points for a vehicle weighing 10,000+ pounds is not very much. After a long day of travelling in the heat of the summer when you go into a corner and the tires on your vehicle are not rated for the weight you are pushing, very bad things can and will happen. Hence, it’s essential to get the right tire for the right application when it comes to buying tires. This is why I shake my head whenever I encounter people that entrust their lives and that of their family members by purchasing their tires and other car parts from big box grocery stores. We don’t sell groceries, but we do sell tires and we know what you need, do you?
On all new vehicles, either on the driver’s door jamb or on the side of the door itself you’ll fi nd a sticker with gobs of information, including the min. tire size and rating. On some older vehicles it’s affi xed to the inside of the dashboard door. Don’t let someone tell you that you don’t need tires of that rating, because you do and you’re life may depend on it.

Coleman said he has sent B.C. Hydro “back to the drawing board” on Ruskin, after having re-ceived assurances that it is technically possible to lower the level of Hay-ward Lake over time and decommission the dam.
Coleman is touring the John Hart dam on the Campbell River Friday with B.C. Hydro engi-neering staff to see if there are options to de-commission it. The John Hart project was com-pleted in 1947 by the B.C. Power Commission, BC Hydro’s predecessor. It is one of three dams on the Campbell River that supply about 11 per cent of the electricity used on Vancouver Island.
Coleman announced a review of B.C. Hydro’s upgrade plans Thurs-day that are projected to push electricity rates up by as much as 50 per cent in the next fi ve years.
B.C. Hydro is sched-uled to start a $930 mil-lion project to install new digital “smart meters” in homes and businesses all over the province this summer. It is also in the midst of a major overhaul of its dam and transmission
system, and is under in-structions from the B.C. government to add new capacity and achieve en-ergy self-suffi ciency.
Coleman said the smart meter program is well advanced, and the savings B.C. Hydro expects from a “smart grid” will pay for the upgrade, so scrapping or delaying that would not give relief from rate increases. Projects to add turbines to the Mica and Revelstoke dams on the Columbia River are also well along and pro-vide needed capacity, he said.
Coleman has instruct-ed the review panel to report back on options by the end of June. The panel members are John Dyble, deputy min-
ister to Premier Christy Clark, deputy fi nance minister Peter Milburn and Cheryl Wenezenki-Yolland, the former comptroller general who is now associate deputy minister of the Environmental Assess-ment Offi ce.
The panel’s terms of reference say it will “include a fi nancial and administrative review, including consideration to rates structures and may consider corporate governance to the extent it provides opportuni-ties for improved effec-tiveness and effi ciency. The objective of the re-view is to ensure costs are minimized and the benefi ts to the province, taxpayers and ratepay-ers are maximized.

Clean Start was created by the skin health experts at Dermalogica, the brand that has been changing the face of skin care for more than 25 years.
Many products contain harsh and inexpensive ingredients that strip the skin of oil, and are fi lled with artifi cial fragrance and colours, all things that can irritate the skin, causing more problems than you started with. Dermalogica has developed Clean Start, a system of eight dual-action, fun, fresh, skin-healthy products that smell and feel great without being full of stuff that's bad for skin such as artifi cial fragrance, colours, mineral oil and SD alcohol. Another thing you might like: Dermalogica doesn’t test on animals!

THE NEWS/opinion
TransLink is tak-ing an innova-tive approach
to tolls on the Golden Ears Bridge, and there will be some lessons in what it discovers as it reduces tolls for a six-week period on week-ends and evenings.
Tolls are a big issue for area residents, with the looming prospect of paying a toll for every trip over the Port Mann Bridge on many people’s minds. While the exact toll structure hasn’t been set, the province said in 2009 that tolls would likely average about $3 each way for cars. For a driver commuting from Sur-rey to Coquitlam to work, for example, that would add $120 per month to com-muting costs.
Those tolls will start to be collected in 2012, when the fi rst eight lanes of the new bridge open. That is little more than a year away.
The present tolls on the Golden Ears Bridge are $2.80 for vehicles with a transponder and $3.35 for vehicles that are registered, but do not have transpon-ders.
They will drop to $1.95 for vehicles with transponders and $2.35 for regis-tered vehicles without transponders, on weekends and after 7 p.m. The reduced tolls go into effect on April 15.
In the case of TransLink, it is trying
to build demand for the Golden Ears Bridge. Bridge traffi c of about 25,000 vehicles per day is lower than projected, and this is partly due to less than robust economic times. The bridge was con-ceived and built when the economy was booming, but by the time it opened in June 2009, the economy had contracted. It has yet to come anywhere close to the booming times of fi ve or six years ago.
TransLink fi gures that, if people give the bridge a try, they may fi nd it repre-sents a shorter trip time. If so, they will likely continue to use it.
This six-week toll reduction represents an opportunity for businesses, particu-larly those in the Port Kells, Fleetwood and Guildford areas. They have a unique chance to market themselves to people in Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge, and might even offer to pay the tolls for fi rst-time customers. Marketing themselves to people from those communities could bring in some signifi cant new business.
So much of what will happen on the Golden Ears Bridge is connected to what happens on the Port Mann. At present, there is added congestion on the free-way because of construction all along Highway 1 from Langley to Vancouver. However, the trip across the river is still free.
Many people are fi nding their house-hold budgets are stretched, due to rap-idly-increasing costs (such as gasoline), and will avoid paying a charge if there is an alternative. This is one reason why so many are upset about the prospect of tolls on the Port Mann Bridge.
TransLink’s bridge isn’t caught up in politics, but the Port Mann Bridge most certainly is. New Premier Christy Clark is said to be itching to go to the polls some time this year, or early next year at the latest. The toll issue could be the differ-ence between government and opposition for the B.C. Liberals, as the winners in Surrey’s eight seats (and perhaps a few others) could be decided on such an issue, which affects so many people.
The issue is particularly powerful be-cause the only toll bridges in the Lower Mainland will be the Port Mann and Golden Ears. No other bridges are tolled and there is no plan in place to add tolls to any other crossings. Suggestions that the Pattullo and Alex Fraser Bridges remain as free alternatives are spurious. Those bridges are fi lled to capacity dur-ing every rush hour.
If nothing changes, the issue of Port Mann tolls will be a major election issue. If either the B.C. Liberals or NDP make cancelling the tolls part of their plat-form, it could mean enough seats for a good shot at government.
If for some political reason, the Port Mann tolls are reduced or eliminated, it will have a long-term effect of the Golden Ears Bridge. It will likely keep traffi c levels down for a longer period that would otherwise be the case.
It’s important for all of us to watch this Golden Ears experiment with great interest.

Local Liberal candidate Mandeep Bhuller got caught driving drunk almost eight years ago, after serving a term on the
Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school board.This comes up now as media across the coun-
try are reporting it in the wake of the federal Liberal party dropping a candidate in northern Quebec who had founded a white supremacist group and made derogatory remarks about ab-originals. A Conservative candidate was also forced to step down this past week over money owed on taxes.
Bhuller contested the drunk driving change, but was found guilty in 2005. He was fined $800 and suspended for driving for a year.
Bhuller, who has spina bifida, is confined to a wheel chair and no longer able to drive, has since used his mistake as a teaching tool when counselling youths.
The Liberal party was aware of his conviction when he was nominated as the party’s can-didate in Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission and stands behind that selection.
Bhuller has paid the price for his mistake and made efforts to atone for it.
The fact it comes up now, during the cam-paign, should come as no surprise to him, and he’s not hiding from it, making no excuses.
He has chosen to be a part of public life, know-ing full well what comes with that, sacrificing the privacy afforded to others who are not.
Fortunately, his mistake only hurt him.It also showed poor judgement, which some
will suggest makes him unqualified to be mak-ing important decisions for others.
That is now up to voters to decide, regardless of how long ago Bhuller made his mistake, or what he has done since.
That is what he has to live with.– The News

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: Tolls discounted on
Golden Ears Bridge (The News, April 6).
As I read the paper and, more importantly, the sto-ries of the Golden Ears Bridge and transit and how TransLink is fi nding more ways pick our pockets, it is now abundantly clear that TransLink should be his-tory before we are taxed out of our cars and homes.
Since its creation by the NDP Glen Clark govern-ment, it has never had a stable source of funding by the provincial government to operate a complicated system of transit, roads and bridges.
The provincial govern-ment should bring transit back into the Crown Cor-poration of B.C. Transit, that’s if the new Liberal government wants to save us some tax dollars. Imag-ine no property tax assess-ment, no parking tax, and we could have the same gas pump price as Silverdale.
Prior to TransLink, B.C. Transit operated the system without raising gas taxes, property tax and every oth-er tax it can think of, and we
didn’t have local politicians battling over who gets what and when.
We also did not have mayors, namely the Delta mayor, wanting to compli-cate the system even more by wanting their own tran-sit system due to claims that they’re not getting their fair share of services.
TransLink, with its board of directors, local politicians and the provincial govern-ment all having different opinions on what services to provide, is costing us mil-lions of dollars in waste and constant delays.
We cannot afford any more decisions and dreams by TransLink, and the only
way seems to be the B.C. Transit way.
In Victoria and all over this province, B.C. Transit provides cost effective ser-vice and one person at the top, making the decisions on how to properly fund and operate the system.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: Ranch shooting an ‘acci-
dent’ (The News, April 1).“Man facing charges of care-
less discharge of a fi rearm.” “Four men to be released
without charges.” The former defending
against criminal activity, the latter caught red handed, committing said criminal ac-tivity.
What is wrong with this pic-ture?
Ridge Meadows RCMP Supt. Dave Walsh says that
“this type of thing should be left to the police.”
Really? More to the point, are we al-
lowed to defend ourselves? If this is any example, then
no. According to the article,
this was the second time these thieves came calling. I presume that the police were called the fi rst time and since the thieves came calling again, one must infer that nothing much was done about the fi rst break-in.
Logical presumption is that the police and/or the courts are unable to deal with even the most petty of crime, ergo, we the law abiding, tax pay-ing, responsible citizens must now defend ourselves. Or can we, for when we do we face stronger penalties than the criminals.
Perhaps the police and the courts are afraid of los-ing their jobs if the citizenry choose to defend themselves rather than rely on a justice system that patently has
proven itself inept, incompe-tent, and incapable of fulfi ll-ing the mandate given it.
That the police would state that they should be the ones to call for protection when you need it is laughable in the extreme.
If the criminal element be-gan to fear Mr. and Mrs. Law Abiding Citizen, I think that this type of crime and the amount of incidences would diminish rapidly.
GREGG ROGERS MAPLE RIDGE
EDITOR, THE NEWS:Anyone considering a vote for the Conservatives based
on their ‘tough on crime’ position may fi rst want to con-sider the following:
• Under the Canadian system of criminal justice that un-til March 23 included the faint hope clause for early parole eligibility, fi rst-degree murderers served an average of 28.4 years in prison before receiving parole, according to a 2005 Department of Justice report.
• In the U.S., sentences for life with parole result in aver-age prison terms of 18.4 years.
• In U.S. states that sentence for life without parole, the average life sentence served is 29 years.
This should cast a new light on the purported softness of our justice system and the now-banished faint hope clause that permitted a jury of ordinary, informed Canadians, se-lected from the region in which the crime occurred, to par-ticipate in the decision about whether or not an offender was ready to re-integrate into the community.
At a time when Canadians are seeking a stronger voice in the justice system, an opportunity for direct participa-tion by community members in the administration of justice within their own neighbourhoods has been extin-guished – in the name of reducing “lenient treatment for murderers”.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: Coalition not a dirty word, but odious is (Letters,
April 6).Cheryl Katnich’s assessment of our current federal po-
litical landscape leaves me more shaking than shivering. Stephen Harper as prime minister of a majority govern-ment? The man has the personality of a postage stamp and, though early in the election campaign, the glue on his soles shows no sign of abating.
It’s no surprise that every one of his campaign appear-ances is so scripted and so lacking in a free exchange of policy initiatives and media responses that discerning Canadians are bereft of a true picture of what we’re in for with a Conservative majority, save the building of more prisons, fi ghter jets to the tune of billions of dollars and, if the lunatic fringe gets its way, talk of capital punish-ment. Calling Mr. Ellis.
After Trudeau, Mulroney, and Chrétien, I gave up on majority governments. They breed arrogance and agen-das that are out of step with what most Canadians expect from their politicians.
What really scares me about the Conservatives is that their ideological soul mates in the United States are the Republicans. That’s as repugnant as Harold Ballard’s ownership of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

A man beaten by an-other inside a Maple Ridge prison died Sun-day at a hospice where he spent nearly 10 months in a coma, brain-dead and barely alive.
Blair Cody was at-tacked on May 19, 2010 in a weight room at the Fraser Regional Correc-tional Centre by Alex-ander Dinu Tanasescu, who was charged last year with attempted murder.
According to an inter-nal investigation report from the 256th Street prison, Tanasescu was allegedly captured on
video landing a punch that knocked Cody to the fl oor.
Tanasescu then “stomped, kicked and punched” his head. He was seen leaving twice only to return seconds later and continue the assault, landing blows to Cody’s head 25 times.
A minute after the assault began, guards found 36-year-old Cody unconscious in a pool of blood. He could barely breathe, according to the report.
Paramedics were called and Cody was rushed via air ambu-lance to Royal Columbia Hospital.
He was eventually transferred to the Lan-
gley Hospice, where he remained in a vegetative state until Sunday.
He died sur-rounded by his sister, brother, brother-in-law and niece.
Ridge Mead-ows RCMP anticipate that Crown will ex-plore more se-rious charges against Tanas-escu before he is back in court in September.
“We have been in-volved in this investiga-tion from the start,” said Cpl. Alanna Dunlop.
“With the matter go-ing before the courts, I will not comment on the details. Crown will be reviewing their case to determine if there will be any additional
charges or any upgrades to existing charges. This process may take sev-
eral weeks and will be at the Crown’s dis-cretion.”
C o d y ’ s death ended a 10-month ordeal for his family. His older sister, Stacey Cody, a Langley school trustee, be-lieves he is fi -nally at peace.
“Nobody wants to live in that kind of state. The brain injury was so severe. There was no chance of recovery,” she said. “He was a good man and I miss him ter-ribly.”
She misses him so much, she wears her brother’s cologne.
Much as he was loved, especially by his older sister and their older brother, he went down a path that led to drugs and crime.
Released after being imprisoned for drug pos-session, he was back be-fore a judge for breach-ing the terms of his probation. On May 18, 2010, a judge gave him a couple more months be-hind bars. He had been at Fraser regional for a few hours when he was attacked by a complete stranger.
Stacey Cody isn’t ready to forgive the man charged in connection with her brother’s death, but isn’t out for revenge either. She doesn’t want Tanasescu to spend the rest of his life in prison.
“Putting someone in jail for life is not going to bring back my brother. My heart goes out to his family and what they must be feeling,” she added. “That doesn’t mean I don’t think he should pay a penalty.”
– with fi les from the Langley Times
The accusedAlexander Dinu Ta-
nasescu, 28, remains in custody.
When he attacked Blair Cody, he was serving a sentence of two years less a day for breaking into a Kelowna electronics store and stealing a 55-inch plasma TV, laptop computer and monitor.
He gained notoriety in 2009 after surveil-lance footage of the crime was released by the owner of Starwatch Audio Video, showing Tanasescu swinging from a ceiling-mount-ed video projector.
Police dubbed him Spiderthief.

Deb Brookes’ RV has been sit-ting beside her house for a year, and nobody’s raised a peep.
Neighbours have had a recre-ational vehicle parked on their property for 11 years with no complaints. Another has done the same for eight years with no issues.
So why has the District of Maple Ridge bylaws department visited several homes in the area and measured vehicles to see if they comply with the bylaw restricting RV sizes to 7.5 metres or less?
A bylaw offi cer was in the area at the end of the month and told another neighbour that there have been 200 complaints. It hasn’t been confi rmed, but the neighbours are saying one indi-vidual is driving around making the complaints.
Bylaw offi cers only respond to issues if there have been com-plaints made to the district.
After a bylaw offi cer measured her RV a few days ago, Brookes got a letter Thursday telling to her to remove her 9.9-metre-long vehicle within two weeks, although she could apply for an extension.
“We have to have it removed by April 20,” she said.
Finding another place to store the vehicle could get expensive.
At this point, she doesn’t know what she and her husband Dan
will do. She points out that she has
a large lot and pays more than $4,000 yearly in property taxes to the district.
Maple Ridge’s bylaw dates from the 1990s, when RVs were small-er, she pointed out.
“It’s an old bylaw and it should be re-addressed.” She plans on talking to council to ask for a review of the statute and points out Langley township recently changed its bylaws, relaxing RV storage.
She also plans on fi ling a Free-dom of Information request to learn how many complaints have been made.
District bylaws couldn’t be reached for comment. However,
Mayor Ernie Daykin said he knows “somebody made a num-ber of complaints in Hammond,” within the last month, but he thought it was concerning messy yards.
“For people never to have com-plaints and for all this to happen over a two-week period doesn’t add up,” Brookes said.
Brookes says her daughter has already created a Facebook group which has drawn 33 members.
Langley township recently changed its bylaw to allow RVs to be parked in front yards between May 15 and Sept. 15, if there’s at least 1.6 metres of space between the RV and the property line.
The rest of the year, RVs can be parked at the side or back of lots.
Residents riled over RV complaints

Deb and Dan Brooks have been told to move their RV off their property because it is too long.

The dogs and cats of the Maple Ridge SPCA are getting settled into their new home as the local animal shelter moves into its new $3.7 million, 6,500 square-foot facility this week.
The new shelter will triple the capacity of the outdated, decaying structure it is replacing next door on Jackson Road.
Branch manager Mark Vosper estimates
the original building is more than 50 years old.
“This has been a long time coming,” he said.
The new shelter fea-tures two outdoor pens, and enclosed walking trail, 12 double-occupan-cy “dog apartments,” four single-dog kennels, four large communal cat rooms, a cat isola-tion room, as well as a meeting room to host school and community groups.
Vosper said the new shelter will not only serve as a shelter for stray animals, but will
serve as an education centre for the commu-nity, as well.
“It’s really a commu-nity animal centre,” he said. “It’s about educat-ing the public so we can improve the welfare of animals in our commu-nity.”
More than 30 volun-teers are helping to move the critters into their new home this week, along with their cages and equipment.
“We couldn’t have done this without they’re help,” said Vosper.
Vosper said the shel-ter is currently accept-ing stray and aban-doned animals, despite construction chaos. However, if people want to surrender an animal, Vosper recommended taking it to a neighbour-ing shelter until the new facility is fi nished next month.
“There’s still some work to be done,” he said. “We should be having a grand opening sometime in May.”

Both those options would generate suf-fi cient funds to build the 3.6 kilometre North Lougheed Connector, which would stretch from Harris Road to Golden Ears Way
The city still main-tains the connector is being proposed as a way to take traffi c off Old Dewdney Trunk Road. But the road is essential to service the commercial strip, west of Meadow Gardens Way.
“There’s something
missing here. How do you make a plan without knowing who would be interested in moving in there,” said Coun. Bruce Bell, who favoured the options that set aside land for agricultural uses.
“We need to have ag-ricultural somewhere in there. That’s got to be the theme if we do this.”
Coun. Gwen O’Connell preferred the option that would generate enough funds to pay for the connector.
“I am supporting this
because I want traffi c off Old Dewdney,” she said.
All options will be presented to the public mid-April, with a ten-tative date for an open house set for April 18.
Coun. John Becker suggested there was a fourth option, which entails leaving the site as is.
“It is not an economi-cally viable one, but it certainly protects the agricultural component 100 per cent,” he said.
Mayor Don MacLean sees development on
the site as a long-term project. The AECOM study estimates build-out for the entire site could take between 10 or 12 years.
MacLean would like to see a comprehensive de-velopment on the strip, so each component - re-tail, mixed employment and agricultural - fl ows into the other.
“We don’t have a whole lot of commer-cial land. If we are go-ing to develop it, let’s do it right because this is the last large piece we have,” he said.
The Agricultural Land Commission approved the proposed road last July, with a caveat that requires the city to get covenants for each of the properties that will be adjacent to it. Those covenants would re-quire each property to remain farmland.
Of the land being considered for devel-opment, only 17.5 hect-ares (43 acres) is zoned highway commercial, the remaining 32.5 hect-ares (80 acres) would have to be removed from the agricultural land reserve.
Michael Sather, the MLA for Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge, hopes the provincial body dedicated to protect-ing farmland does just that.
“I don’t think any of the options are accept-able,” said Sather.
“If the ALC allows the removal of this land from the reserve, it will be a very bad precedent for the future of agricul-ture. It’s up to the ALC to do their job and stop this nonsense.”

Fourth option: leave it as it is: Becker

Most councillors favoured Option B, which set aside 12 hectares for agricultural or agri-business uses and generate sufficient funds to build the North Lougheed Connector.

Wendy Cook is making a last-ditch plea to spare Albion hall from the wrecker’s ball.
“My proposal is to turn the Albion hall into a guild hall for Maple Ridge.”
That would be a place where artisan groups, such as quilters or paint-ers, could meet on differ-ent days and sell their wares.
Maple Ridge council recently approved tear-ing down the old hall because of safety con-cerns and the cost of renovations. The district took possession of the building March 31 from the Albion Community Association in return for dedicating its market value to a future new building somewhere else in the area.
But Cook says the build-ing doesn’t need any im-mediate repairs and can be fi xed up gradually so the cost is spread out.
She made her pitch to Maple Ridge council on Monday and was told it’s up to Mayor Ernie Daykin to decide wheth-er to bring the item back on to the agenda.
Daykin, though, said he’s not sure that’s pos-sible and that council made the decision to tear it down last fall.
In the meantime, she’s started a petition in sup-port of the idea.
The building is located just north of Lougheed Highway on 240th Street.
“I haven’t talked to any-body that’s against it,” she said.
Coun. Craig Speirs sup-ports taking another look and fi nding out what the exact costs are to repair the building.
“I think it’s way too much of an icon to throw away like nothing.”
Albion hall for artists?

Two new parks soon will be adding trees, grass and green space to the downtown along 221st and 222nd streets.
District of Maple Ridge parks staff al-ready started work on one of them, at 221st Street and 119th Av-enue, where thanks to a donation by the Raymond family of a corner lot, worth about $296,000, there’s al-ready a pathway and some rough landscap-ing.
“We acquired that lot and the properties north of that are desig-nated park, if and when they want to sell,” said Bruce McLeod, man-ager of parks and open space.
What eventually will become Raymond Park will start at 119th Av-enue and continue for four lots north along 221st Street.
The district has al-ready bought another lot, so with the donated lot already in hand, it needs to buy only two more properties. Once
the district has all four lots, the park will be about three-quarters of an acre. “We’re very grateful to the Ray-mond family,” said McLeod.
About a block north of Dewdney Trunk Road on 222nd Street, the district already owns seven of 12 lots it wants to turn into a neighourhood park. While it’s still trying to acquire the remaining fi ve, work can still start on the portion the dis-trict already owns.
Money for that proj-
ect, $310,000, is already in this year’s budget. “The District of Maple Ridge is actively ac-quiring land in that area,” McLeod said.
“It’s all a matter of ready and willing sell-er. We’re not expropri-ating this property.”
McLeod said with the building of the support-ive housing apartment building on Brown Av-enue at 222nd Street, a community green space will disappear so the district wants to replace that with a new park.
“We’d like to acceler-ate this. There’s cer-tainly a need in this neighbourhood.”
Consultation on what the neighbours would like to see the 222nd Street park starts this month and once a plan in place work should start this summer.
“These are really the focus at the moment.”
Maple Ridge is also getting public input this year for a new park in Silver Valley at 132nd Avenue and 237A Street with plans for construction next year.

A 33-year-old man was arrested early Sunday for robbing a taxi driver in Maple Ridge.
Police allege Chris-topher Warren Nohr was picked up by a cab driver in Langley around 5 a.m.
After robbing the driver of his cash on hand, Nohr made the driver take him to Maple Ridge, where he was forced to with-draw money from his own bank account and hand it over.
The taxi driver let Nohr out of the taxi just before 6 a.m. on Dewdney Trunk Road, near Fletcher Street.
“With the matter be-fore the courts, I will not go into more de-tails on how we identi-fied Mr. Nohr as being our suspect. We are recommending armed robbery charges,” said Insp. Derren Lench.
Nohr was remand-ed in custody until a court date on April 4.
Meat loverRidge Meadows
RCMP are looking for a shoplifter who stole ap-p r o x i m a t e l y $200 of meat from a Ma-ple Ridge g r o c e r y store.
E m -ployees of Coo-per’s on D e w -d n e y T r u n k Road saw the man take the meat around noon Wednesday but were unable to appre-hend him.
He is described as a Middle Eastern man in his 30s, with a medium build. He was wearing a wool overcoat and was carrying a dark brown computer lap-top bag.
Safe swipedA safe that held cash
was stolen Wednes-day afternoon during
a break-in in Maple Ridge.
The theft hap-pened between 12:20 p.m. and
1:30 p.m. on 114th Av-enue.
A rear d o o r to the h o m e w a s f o r c e d o p e n
and the t h i e v e s
found the safe in one of the bedrooms.
Metal theftMore than $1,000 in
metal was stolen early Tuesday from a Maple Ridge industrial park.
Between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m., thieves cut a hole in a perimeter fence to the business on Stewart Crescent, to gain access to the yard.
Steel plates, fl at bars and several industrial lights were stolen.
• Anyone with any in-formation on the above crimes is asked to call RCMP at 604-463-6251. To remain anonymous call CrimeStoppers at
1-800-222-8477 or leave a tip online at www.bccrimestoppers.com. CrimeStoppers will pay a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest and convic-tion.
Drug bustFour men were arrest-
ed by police on Monday following a break-in.
Just before 9 p.m., police responded to a call about a break-and-enter in progress at a house on the Lougheed Highway in Maple Ridge.
As police arrived on scene, a U-Haul van was scene driving away from the home.
Offi cers stopped the van and four men were arrested without inci-dent.
Police then obtained a warrant and seized 42 marijuana plants in varying stages of growth.
Insp. Derren Lench said there was no sign of a break in at the house but it appears the marijuana plants were from the property.
Ridge Meadows RCMP continue to in-vestigate the file.

The recent finals of the Ameri-can college
basketball champion-ship tourna-ment, known affectionately by basket-ball fans as March Mad-ness, pitted the Univer-sity of Con-necticut, with over 30,000 students, against But-ler Univer-sity, with just 5,000.
It was a classic David and Goliath match-up.
As I am prone to do whenever students are highly interested in something, I used the final contest to emphasize what a Da-vid and Goliath match means.
This is certainly not the first time I’ve used this analogy as, from an educational point of view, it’s a particularly good one. Many young people see themselves as lost in a crowd, or small cogs in a big wheel that is their school and social setting. Some will di-rectly express, when they are under stress, that they don’t mat-ter much in the big scheme of things.
We are, of course, all Davids. In a world with seven billion people, our presence is almost impercep-tible if we stand back and look at it. But that is not how the
world operates. With the exception of a few individuals who
become well known on the political, sports or en-tertainment platform, the majority of us work in very small spheres of influence: our family, our friends, our col-leagues, our school. Yet, within these
spheres, we each have the opportunity to be successful, to be happy, to contribute to others in a positive and meaningful way.
It’s not about being a Goliath; it’s about being a David. The story is about a young boy who defeats a large enemy through fearlessness, hard work and intel-ligence. We cannot all be world-class athletes, entertainers
or politicians, but we all can take on daily challenges without paralyzing fear; we all can persevere against the odds and work hard enough to be successful; we all can develop our intel-lectual capacity and skills to be good at what we do.
Butler University does not have the selectivity of athletes that a UConn team has, but on the bas-ketball court, the size of the schools and selectivity of athletes is not a factor. It is the belief that each individual has in him-self, his knowledge of the game, and the work he has put into conditioning and skill development that matters most in being successful.
I was rooting for the David, of course. I have been in small schools all my life and I know the value of being a big fish in
a small pond from a personal perspective. I have played and coached on teams that should not have been competitive, but were.
Even more impor-tantly, I have seen young people who have believed in themselves become important and vital members of their families, workplaces and communities. I’ve been blessed to be in an occupation where I get to see many Davids as they begin to blossom.

‘Believe in yourself’
UConn won the game, so this particular story doesn’t have the perfect ending. But it does have a happy ending. A team of young men from a small school challenged the odds and made it to the fi nals of the biggest competition of their lives.
They showed to any-one who was watching that there are no limita-tions to your success if you set a goal that is important, believe in yourself enough to put in the time and work to become excellent at what you do, and play smart.
We all need to be reminded, but particu-larly young people need to be reminded, that we are all important members of the small spheres of infl uence in which we exist and the more we do to develop our talents, the greater will be our infl uence and, perhaps, the more extensive will be our sphere.

20 -- Friday, April 8, 2011 -- THE NEWS - www.mapleridgenews.com
It’s one of the most common questions we ask about God, especially after a natural disaster like the recent
earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan: How can a loving, good God allow His Creation to suffer so much?
It’s a complex issue, but the Easter season ahead helps us reconcile these two seem-ingly contradictory subjects
– God’s love and human suffering.
Should we really call natural disasters ‘acts of God’? How much does our freedom of choice affect not just the morality of our planet, but the geology as
well? Why does the molten core and the moving crust of our planet both create and threaten human life? What was the earth like before man rebelled against his Creator and what will it be like when God restores what He calls ‘paradise’? How can a theol-ogy, which includes human suffering, help us understand a truly loving God?
Libraries of books have been written to address these and other related, head-scratching questions. But one incredible, undeni-able fact of history should form the foundation of our thinking. The Creator of our planet cares deeply for every human life. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16).
The cost of this gift was staggering. God watched His marvelous creation become contaminated by our reck-less disregard and outright defi ance of the instruction manual he gave us (aka - the Bible).

22 -- Friday, April 8, 2011 -- THE NEWS - www.mapleridgenews.com
Yes, God loves usYet onto this polluted
planet God sent his Son to live among us and to show us the right way to live. Jesus loved us so much that he was willing to take on a level of suf-fering we can’t begin to imagine.
He was betrayed by his friends, tried for crimes he didn’t commit, stripped and whipped with leather straps tied around sharp pieces of sheep bone, mocked as a pretend king, paraded in royal robes and a crown of thorns, struck and spit upon by the people he came to help, forced to carry his own rough-
hewn cross digging into his bleeding back and shoulders, nailed through his wrists and feet, jolted upright on that cross, and left to die a slow agonizing death.
Just before he died, he expressed the kind of love only God could have for us: “Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing.”
Yes, God loves us. While He is not the cause of human suffer-ing, he understands it like no one else can.
Rob Buzza is lead pastor at NorthRidge
Church.

www.mapleridgenews.com - THE NEWS -- Friday, April 8, 2011 -- 23
I’ve never seen a year that has stayed so cold and wet even
into April, and we’re all starved for some outdoor colour.
Early cool colour plants must be able to handle unexpected late frosts, cold winds and lots of very heavy rain. This is no small task.
Fortunately, over the past few years, some wonderful new plant va-rieties have found their way into the market, and let me assure you, they are up to all of these challenges.
There are, however, a few key things to keep in mind. Even these fairly tough plants need to be well acclimatized before being set outside.
Moving plants directly from a warm greenhouse to the cold outdoors will cause too much stress and will seriously set the plants back, especially if the weather is very windy and cool.
The second thing to keep in mind is drainage. Make an extra effort to add plenty of fi r or hemlock bark mulch or sawdust to any heavy clay soils in order to lighten them up and use well drained soils in containers.
Many of us are using more and more osteospermums, but the newer and much improved varieties have certainly made a huge difference.
These cool and wet loving, brilliant multi-coloured daisies are so refreshing in an early garden. They stay low spreading and blend beautifully with early bulbs, pan-sies and early perennials like arabis and aubrieta. They are also equally at home in containers or in ground beds.
We use all kinds of linarias in our gar-dens for long lasting cool colour. They look like miniature snapdragons.
A more low spreading plant available in a good range of bright colours, you’ll fi nd them quite striking.
Nemesias, whether the more trailing ‘Sunsatia’ types for baskets and containers or the newer ‘Sundrops’ bedding variet-ies, both are ideal for some splashes of old fashioned charm. They love morning sun and afternoon shade, and when it does fi -nally become warmer, they will keep going for the longest time.
Two new series of smaller fl owered mimulus, called ‘Calypso’ and ‘Magic’, have such vibrant colours and unusual fl owers that they capture everyone’s attention. They also come in separate colours to cre-ate some interesting combinations.
The ivory, ivory bi-colour, yellow, yellow bi-colour, orange, red and crimson varieties, blended with blue violas, are simply breath-taking. Plant them in shady spots for the best longlasting results. You’ll be amazed how well they perform in cool temperatures.
Marguerite daisies are truly remarkable plants that simply bloom their hearts out in early cool weather. Today, their compact habit and wide range of colours, from yel-lows, whites and pinks to reds and bronze-orange make them so versatile in many situations.
What are the best cool-loving plants for a great display? By far and away, the top
performers are violas and pansies. Pansies may be old fashioned favourites,
but the colour range of pansies today is fab-ulous, especially some of the new designer colours like creams, pink blends and happy, bright citrus blends.
My latest favourite is the new ‘Matrix Morpheus’. It’s a distinctive bicolour with mid-blue upper petals and bright yellow lower petals. Talk about standing out in a crowd.
The new varieties of violas, the ‘Penny’ and the ‘Sorbet’ series, have improved size, a colour range to blow your socks off and a fl owering time that beats them all. Their smaller blossoms make them less formal and even more charming than pansies, and they have the ability to blend with every-thing in your garden from early bulbs to primulas.
Try the soft pastels like ‘Penny Primrose’,
‘Sorbet Lemon Chiffon’, ‘Penny Cream’, ‘Penny Orchid Frost’ and ‘Penny Porcelain’. They are most effective in tiny pockets or in groupings with other companions. Plant them early for instant and longlasting results.
These are the ‘colour now’ plants you need for your garden to give both of you a lift. These are the plants that will take the weather abuse and keep on giving. These are the ‘feel good now and even better later’ plants that will make a big difference in your garden this year.
Marigolds, salvias, geraniums and petu-nias are already in some garden stores and even though it’s tempting, please hold off planting them until at least mid to late May – they need warmth to thrive.

Maple Ridge is in the running to be the World Fishing Network’s Ulti-mate Fishing Town Can-ada, a title that brings with it a $25,000 commu-nity donation.
Local fi sherman Josko Dujmovic nominated Maple Ridge on WFN’s website. He moved to Maple Ridge 10 years ago, in part to be closer to his favourite fi shing
holes.“I have an hour to an
hour and a half commute each way to work, but it’s worth it when you get to see what’s all around us here,” he said.
All fi ve species of Pa-cifi c salmon, as well as sturgeon, dolly varden, rainbow trout, and steel-head are plentiful in local waters.
Among the popular
fi shing spots nearby are the Fraser River, Pitt River, Alouette River, Kanaka Creek, as well as Pitt Lake, Alouette Lake, and Whonnock Lake, notes Dujmovic.
Should Maple Ridge be crowned Canada’s Ultimate Fishing Town, Dujmovic said he hopes the $25,000 community donation to go to the Ka-naka Education and En-vironmental Partnership Society, which operates the Bell-Irving Hatchery on Kanaka Creek.
However, to qualify, Maple Ridge will have to collect enough nomi-nations on the WFN’s website.
• To add your nomina-tion to Maple Ridge’s bid to be Canada’s Ultimate Fishing Town, visit www.wfnfi shingtown.ca/town/mapleridge-bc

42 -- Friday, April 8, 2011 -- THE NEWS - www.mapleridgenews.com
In the blink of an eye, she can transform an actor into a demon, a vampire or just an ugly monster with weird facial ap-
pendages.It’s all in the eyes, if you’ve ever watched
the vampire and sci-fi TV shows that are catching the attention of many tweens and teens.
And Kim Zilcosky does it by fi tting special effects contact lenses for those creatures of fantasy that are enthralling the masses in fantasy fi lms.
It’s a pressure-based business and one that contrasts with her usual job, fi tting glasses and contact lenses for normal-look-ing people in her Roving Eyes Optical store on Lougheed Highway.
When she’s not busy with that, she’s a contact lens tech who visits movie shoots around the Lower Mainland on behalf of Contour Contact Lenses in White Rock.
When the makeup department needs to put the fi nal touch on an actor, the fi nishing touch is the specially made contact lenses.
They can be white and opaque, like a zom-bie.
Or black, like a demon. Or blood red.The trendy genre of fantasy fi lms on tele-
vision and in movie theatres means there’s lots of work.
Zilcosky has worked on The Twilight Saga – Eclipse and New Moon – as well as on Stargate and the Boy Who Cried Were-wolf, Smallville, Supernatural, Underworld 4 and Fringe, all shot locally.
It’s her deft touch that keeps earning her call-backs.
When a director is trying to shoot a scene and an actor is rushed for time in makeup, Zilcosky can be there with the special ef-fects lenses and slip them on to the eyes of a stressed-out actor in seconds with minimal discomfort.
Actors, normally a mercurial bunch, can be late arriving on set. Makeup has to get them ready for the waiting crew and cam-eras. Nevertheless, it’s her job to get the lenses on to those stressed-out performers in a way that they can get immediately be-fore the cameras.
Perhaps it’s because she’s able to bring a calming effect to the performers about to go
under the hot lights.“I’m very well-used because I have been
doing it for eight years. I can pop them in in one shot. I go in bing, bang, boom and it’s done. That’s why I’m called out a lot. Every second counts. It’s money with them.”
The FX lenses aren’t like a usual pair of contacts.
They can be twice the size, 22 millimetres in diameter, and can cover most of the lense of an eye, and unlike the $90 you’d pay for a regular pair of contacts, the FX models can cost between $1,000 and $1,400.
The lenses can be the size of the entire lens of an eye, making fi tting them in more of a challenge.
The irises can have unique shapes, spooky pinpoints or slits, like a cat’s eye. They can be yellow and green and bright blue.
“It’s stressful. It’s very high pressure. I love it. I meet lots of people, but there’s that pressure there.”
Working both sides of the contact lense industry means many long days. In addition
to keeping her shop running, Zilcosky can be on set at all hours. And for good measure, there are the ballroom, Latin and swing
dance classes she teaches dur-ing evenings in her store.
The frenetic pace can’t be helped because fi lm schedules change constantly, she points out.
But in addition to rubbing shoulders with the stars, the food catering is another perk. “They feed you really well, that’s my favourite part.”
Inside Roving Eyes, there’s nothing to indicate a connec-tion to the silver screen ex-cept a small selection of swag, clothes and hats from various movies.
In particular, she treasures a thank-you card from To-ronto actor Mackenzie Gray, thanking her for her help on Smallville.
“That’s huge. That usually doesn’t hap-pen.”
Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS
Kim Zilcosky has the right touch when it comes to putting in monster contact lenses.

Soccer in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows will have a new look after the Pitt Meadows and Golden Ears United soccer clubs voted last week to join forces and amalgamate their or-ganizations.
The move will take place for the 2012-13 season, and will create the largest community soccer club in the prov-ince, with more than 4,000 participants.
The clubs’ presidents believe the merger will make local teams more competitive, and en-courage local players to play locally.
“Having two entities was just not in the best interest of kids,” says Chris Begg, president of the Pitt Meadows Soccer Club. “It was pretty obvious we were splitting talent between the two clubs. Now we’ll be able to fi eld
competitive, elite-level teams, and establish a clear development pathway right from the recreational teams.”
The name for the new club hasn’t been decid-ed on yet, as Begg said they are still looking into possible sponsor-ships.
The merger will mean the clubs will be able to eliminate some redun-dancies, and make for more effi cient use of fi elds.
“Every other sport in town is Ridge Mead-ows, we’re the only ones who are split like this,” said Golden Ears United president Kevin Fletcher. “We have such an array of talent here, now we will be able to have some very strong teams.”
Golden Ears United Soccer Club has more than 2,100 players in its ranks, while the
Pitt Meadows Soccer Club has 1,850 players registered this year, in a community of just 17,500.
While Begg says the club does attract play-ers from west Maple Ridge, he estimates around 10 per cent of the population of Pitt Meadows is involved in the club in some way.
“We’ve grown a lot in the last few years,”
he said. “We’re really passionate about the sport.”
The two clubs fi eld more than 300 teams from tykes to adults.
Other big changes loom for the sport of soccer, not just local-ly, but provincially as well.
B.C. Soccer and Van-couver Whitecaps have partnered to help develop the EA Sports
B.C. Soccer Premier League, which will be modeled after the ju-nior hockey system and B.C. Premier Base-ball League.
The league will be-gin play in March 2012, with eight teams from across the province fi elding elite teams in the U-13, U-14, U-15, U-16, and U-17/U-18 levels.
The new league will
play from play from February to November, to fall in line with oth-er Canadian provincial soccer programs. The Metro/Select league season, as well as B.C. Soccer club play, will continue to run Sep-tember to April.
Pitt Meadows and Golden Ears United jointly bid for a fran-chise in the new league, along with North Co-
quitlam, Mission and Central City soccer clubs, but were denied earlier this year.
Both Begg and Fletch-er hope the merger will help strengthen a fu-ture bid for a team.
“Having that pyra-mid in place is really important,” said Begg. “We don’t want play-ers having to leave town to play competi-tive soccer.”

Havoc headed to Cup final
The Golden Ears Havoc U-18 girls’ soccer team is returning to the Coastal Cup fi nals for the fourth consec-utive year after defeating the Point Grey Pumas in a 3–1 semi-fi nal win at Samuel Robertson Technical Sec-
ondary School on Sunday. The match was a replay of
last year’s Coastal Cup fi -nal, which saw the Havoc go down in defeat to the Pumas in overtime.
The teams had to con-tend with driving wind and
rain, but the Havoc made the most of the miserable conditions early, potting a pair fi rst half goals thanks to Nicole Aitcheson and Jamie Foster. The Pumas roared back in the second half and scored a quick goal
to draw within one, but the Havoc held out for the win. The Havoc defense was led by Danielle Roison, Hailey Dunn, Caroline Doyle, Jes-sica Thompson and goalie Courtney Cadwallader, who worked hard to hold off the
tying goal. A late goal by Marina Ca-
sol helped seal the win. The Havoc will face Co-
quitlam in the Coastal Cup fi nals April 17, their sixth championship appearance in the past 10 years.

This column is the fi rst in ongoing series about long distance running.
You may have heard about ultra-endur-
ance races in which runners compete in distances greater than the traditional marathon which is 42 kilometres (26.2 miles).
Generally these ultra races are 50- or 100-km distances, but they can be longer. In fact, there are 24-hour races and even multi-day events spanning up to 10 days of activity. A Greek runner named Yian-nis Kouros has even run 153 km a day over a 10-day period for a total of 1,600 km.
When people hear this, most will shake their heads incredu-lously and say that there’s no need or reason to run that far. They can’t fathom running much more than 10 km, let alone multiple marathons back to back.
Why would we need to?
Aren’t these people just overzealous exer-cise fanatics who have achieved feats that are pretty impressive, but have run out of reason-able goals and the only thing left for them is to run longer?
Is there any reason for us to have run this long in our history?
Is there anything that our bodies can tell us about our devel-opment that would indicate this need?
The evidence avail-able to help answer this question is varied and comes from such sources as archeology, anthropology, physiol-ogy, comparative and evolutionary biology,
among others.Research has shown
that in our very recent past during hunting excursions, humans have been able to run down zebras, kan-garoos and deer to exhaustion on open terrain in hotter cli-mates. Before the First Nations tribes in North America acquired horses, they sent out ‘buffalo runners’ to track and catch bison, as well as everything from jackrabbits to deer and antelope. These expeditions could take many days to accomplish and required a high capac-ity for ultra-endurance running.
Many animals have to be very good sprint-ers in order to catch prey or to avoid being caught, but humans, despite being able to achieve maximum speeds of about 37 km/h for very short distances, are rela-tively poor sprinters in the animal Olym-pics. Cheetahs are the animal kingdoms sprint champions and have been clocked at
just over 100 km/h per hour, but they can only sustain this speed for short dis-tances.
We’ve al-ways thought of deer, antelope and horses as being great sprinters (at about 60 to 80 km/h), but also pretty good long-dis-tance runners. However, in open terrain, prey only have to be able to sprint for rela-tively short distances to elude predators who won’t run for more than a couple of kilo-metres before giving up the chase. These animals are excellent sprinters, good middle distance runners but poorer ultra-distance runners than humans.
The development of our skeleton over the last two million years, as most people are aware, has evolved from the standard four-legged quad-ruped locomotion from apes to human
upright, bipedal walk-ing. For example, legs have become stronger
and more massive for weight bear-ing, while the arms are smaller because they are no longer needed to support body weight, but have to be more fl exible and mobile to manipulate our environ-
ment. Other interesting
changes have oc-curred to various other bones in our body including the shape of the pelvis, the bones of the feet and so on.
However, just because we evolved to walk doesn’t itself mean that running, let alone ultra-endurance running, would be an evolutionary advan-tage, especially since running is about twice as metabolically costly for humans compared to our four-legged brothers and sisters.
So what caused these changes? More on this fascinating topic next time.

van der WoudeHendrik
(Henry Vanderwood)
Hendrik van der Woude went to be with the Lord on April 2, 2011 at his home surrounded by his family. He is survived by his loving wife Jennie of 62 years, His children Agnes, Betty (Steve) their children Craig, Corey (Tina) Miranda, His son John (Judy) their children Laura (Shawn) Mark, Katie, Youngest daughter Rita (Steve) their children Barbara, Angela, Adam, Tamara. Their Grandson and great-grandson to Henry Kadin. Also survived by his sisters Trien (Karst) and Saakje in The Netherlands, plus relatives in Canada and The Netherlands. He is predeceased by his eldest sister Boukje. Henry was born on February 27, 1920 in Munnekezijl, -The Netherlands, the only son and the second of four children of the late Jan and Elisabeth van der Woude. Jennie and Henry were married in The Netherlands on May 3, 1948 They immigrated to Canada July 1st, 1949. They had 3 children born in Winnipeg and after their move to BC in 1954 their youngest daughter was born .Henry’s aspiration to become a dairy farmer did not materialize due to a serious back injury as a result of a work related injury with the Vancouver Water Board in 1957. As part of retraining he attended Vancouver Vocational School and earned a certifi cate as a boiler operator. For 23 years he worked for the Maple Ridge School District, mostly at Maple Ridge Secondary School. His Christian faith and family were most important in his life. He enjoyed helping his family and friends whenever he could. He took pleasure in working in his yard, caring for his birds and dogs as well as listening to his music, and vacations in Holland and other places over the years.
