A young Maple Ridge man isa finalist in a competition tolive at YVR for 80 days.

by Sylver [email protected]

Chris Lee has flown out ofVancouver twice in his lifetime– both times to Disneyland.

Now the 22-year-old actorfrom Maple Ridge is one of fivefinalists vying for the Live@YVRcontest, where he could be thecorrespondent who will live, eat,and sleep at YVR for 80 days.

If he wins, he will sleep atThe Fairmont Vancouver AirportHotel, live in the YVR commun-ity, and experience the endlessstories of YVR’s 23,600 employ-ees and 400 businesses startingAug. 17.

YVR is Canada’s second busiestairport.

It’s like right out of the TomHanks movie, The Terminal,where Hanks’ character ViktorNavorski finds himself strandedin JFK Airport and takes up tem-porary residence there, Lee said.

The young Albion man iscompeting for votes against fourother finalists from across theLower Mainland.

The winner becomes theLive@YVR correspondent whowill be equipped with a cameraand editing equipment and willact as an all-in-one producer, dir-ector, reporter, editor, and post-production supervisor.

That person must uncover stor-ies and share the triumphs – andtrials – of living at an airportfull time on www.liveatyvr.ca,Facebook, and Twitter.

Five finalists were chosen froma pool of 96 B.C. entrants whosubmitted videos. The otherfinalists are: 36-year-old CarrieDymond, 29-year-old Jaeger Mah,and 24-year-old Sarah Szloboda,all of Vancouver, along with

Marelle Reid, 29, of Coquitlam.The winner will be given

$15,000 – $7,500 at the begin-ning of the assignment and theother half when finished.

Lee was valedictorian in 2007for Samuel Robertson Technical’sfirst graduating class. He hasa diploma from the VancouverAcademy of Dramatic Arts, andattended Shoreline Studios act-ing school for a year and a half.

He has been a professional actorfor three years, working on com-mercials, short films, and theatreproductions – YVR potentiallybeing his most challenging role.

“Chris was chosen because hehas a twinkle in his eye and asense of humour,” said RebeccaCatley, communications directorfor Vancouver Airport Authority.

“We were incredibly impressedby the quality and quantity of

video entries for Live@YVR andthe diversity of personalities andvideo submissions,” Catley said.

“I was shocked when I heardthat I was selected to be a final-ist,” said Lee, adding that hetaught himself how to use FinalCut Pro in three days while mak-ing his submission video.

“I enter contests all the timebut I’ve never won. I can’t evenrun that fast – this is the first

time I have gotten this far in anycontest,” Lee added.

“Now it’s the public’s turn tohave its say on who will tell thebehind-the-scenes stories of itsairport,” noted Catley.

The public has until Aug. 5 tovote online at www.liveatyvr.cafor its favourite finalist.

Lee’s video submission canbe seen at http://liveatyvr.ca/entry/183360.

Scouts play a huge role in thefirst annual Rotary fundraiser.by Maria [email protected]

Ducks have been appearingaround the community for thelast few months, promoting thisSunday’s Rotary Duck Race.

But inside the duck suits, therehave been many volunteers,young and old, male and female,from a variety of organizations.

The 1st Laityview Scouts havejumped on board with the firstannual Rotary duck event, mak-ing the duck’s presence knownto residents in Maple Ridge,thereby, promoting ticket sales.

Maureen Pengelly, whosethree sons are in Scouts andVenturers, has been acting asa liaison between the MeadowRidge Rotary Club and the Scoutsto help rally volunteers for theevent.

“It’s that sense of community,”Pengelly said about helping theRotary club. “That’s what Scoutsis all about.”

Mieka Johnson, who has spenta few hot hours in the duck suit,said jokingly that Scouts pro-vide “child labour” for differentevents.

“In the community, Scoutshelp out a lot,” she said.

The scouting organization pro-vides youth with positive experi-ence and activ-ities, Johnsonsaid, and keepsthem out oftrouble and con-nected with agood group ofkids.

Figuring outa schedule forduck was achallenge, as shifts as long as anhour and a half proved to be hotand tiring. After a couple shifts,the Scouts learned to trade offafter half and hour to keep up

their energy.On Monday evening, a group

from 1st Laityview went to helptest out the course that the duckswill take on the Alouette River.They helped release 200 ducksand watched for holes in the

fences. Someguide wiresand zipcord-ing needed tobe added toensure none ofthe ducks willescape duringthe actual raceon Sunday.

OnWednesday, the Scouts wereplanning to go to Alouette Riverin Maple Ridge Park again towatch 3,000 ducks released in atest race.

“As far as community sup-port, it’s been phenomenal,” saidMary Robson, who’s on the duckrace organizing committee.

The Scouts, both Pengelly andScoutmaster Peter Tam, havebeen “very supportive,” shesaid.

Having the ducks in the com-munity has helped promote therace and when people know theduck will be at an event, theyseek it out, Robson said.

“The kids – they all want tohug the big yellow duck,” sheadded.

The Haney Rotary Club andthe District of Maple Ridge havealso been supportive of therace. Groups like the AlouetteRiver Management Society anda retired RCMP dive team havealso given their time to help raise

money for youth organizationsand KidSport.

With all the preparationsand the final test run slatedfor Wednesay evening, Robsonsaid she hopes the actual raceat 1 p.m. on Sunday runs like a“well-oiled machine.”

Other Rotary clubs have heldduck races, and they havehelped the Meadow Ridge clubwork out the logistics of the race.

This is the first of what theRotary club hopes will be anannual event, and Robson saidthey knew aiming for 10,000ticket sales was high. But thenumber sold, while not 10,000,is “solid,” she said. Tickets willbe sold right up to and on raceday.

“For the first year, we are very,very pleased,” Robson said.

Duck race support ‘phenomenal’

by Maria [email protected]

Maple Ridge council passed a reso-lution on Tuesday that the owner ofNorthumberland Court has 30 days to

demolish the remaining buildings.The strata complex on Fraser Street was

sold a couple years ago, and the new ownerplanned to build townhouses.

The property has been fenced since it wassold, but the fences have been breached

seven or eight times.“It’s a safety... and security issue,” said

Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin about thedecision to order it demolished.

The owner has 14 days to appeal thedemolition order.

The Maple Ridge Museum andArchives is starting a mapping projectto identify where fruit trees grew.by Maria [email protected]

Historians at the Maple Ridge Museumwant to know where the best place wasto steal apples in Maple Ridge.

As the museum gathers informationabout the agricultural history of MapleRidge, the staff have started a mappingproject to show the vast orchards thatused to a large part of the agriculture inMaple Ridge.

Many people have forgotten – or neverknew – that Maple Ridge was an import-ant fruit producing community when itfirst began being populated, and that theorchards covered vasts acreages, said themuseum’s director Val Patenaude.

“We’re talking huge numbers here,when you consider the population,” shesaid.

On Saturday, Patenaude will be at theHaney Farmers’ Market with displaysabout the history of agriculture in MapleRidge – the summer’s second HistoryGoes to Market event.

She also wants to start stirring people’smemories about where there might havebeen orchards –where did youngpeople growingup in MapleRidge go in the1940s, 1950s,and later to stealapples.

This will helpher identifywhere orchards used to be.

“I want to see how extensive orchardswere in the community,” Patenaude said.“I think people will be really surprised.”

For the most part, when trees outlivetheir usefulness, they are replaced or justremoved, she explained.

“We’re trying to see to what extentthere is community memory [oforchards],” Patenaude said.

Maple Ridge had extensive apple, plum,and pear orchards.

Samuel Robertson, the first non-nativelandholder in current Maple Ridge, had160 acres in the Albion Flats. Later he

held another 700 acres between KanakaCreek and the Fraser River.

Robertson planted fruit trees whereverhe could find a patch of open ground,many around the mouth and meanders oflower Kanaka Creek.

Maple Ridge was an important fruitproducing centre in B.C. supplyingVancouver and New Westminster.

John Hammond brought in the firstnamed varieties of fruit. In the 1890s,G.W. Henry ran a nursery in Hammondand a regional newspaper reported heonce brought eight tons of fruit trees tothe community.

Orchards were owned by HectorFerguson, J.C. Metcalfe, Paul Murray,Alex Stevenson, Tom Bosomworth, JohnCarr, and John Baillie.

The Ridge Meadows Hospital sits onthe old Baillie farm, which had extensiveorchards.

While some families grew fruit to sup-ply other markets, almost everyone grewfruit trees for canning and preserving forthemselves, Patenaude said.

There were several varieties of apples– some were good for canning, others forcider, others for “wintering over,” othersfor sauces and pie fillings.

The history of Maple Ridge’s agricul-ture can provide a context for the currentdiscussion around the quality of agricul-

tural land, saidPatenaude.

The type ofterrain in MapleRidge is “verymuch suited tofruit produc-tion,” she said.

Potatoeswere the most

frequently occurring crop for sale,Patenaude said, but many other rootvegetables were grown for livestockand personal use, for example, turnips,parsnips – and something called a man-gel that seemed to have been a crossbetween a turnip and a beet.

A lot of agricultural information has dis-appeared, Patenaude said, and she findsherself often checking a dictionary from1935 to find what terms like “shorts”mean – shorts is feed for cattle madefrom chopped up sileage that’s been leftto ferment.

“There’s lots of things that have come

Charges have yet to be laid againstthree people arrested in a MapleRidge grow-op bust July 26.

by Sylver [email protected]

Ridge Meadows RCMP seized 184 mari-juana plants at a home on 125A Avenuenear 230th Street in Maple Ridge onTuesday.

One man and two womenwere found inside the homewhen police arrived. The threewere arrested, but were laterreleased, said Cpl AlannaDunlop.

An electrical bypass was dis-covered inside the home.

“It takes some time to puttogether the file with a mari-juana grow-op case as there arenumerous exhibits to process,forms to prepare and a crownpackage to recommend char-ges,” Dunlop said.

The investigation is still active.

Mountie catches evaderA 43-year-old Burnaby man, who is

well known to police, will face severalcharges including driving while prohibit-ed, obstructing a peace officer, and exces-sive speeding, after trying to evade police.

The man was seen driving east on RiverRoad by police just after 1:30 a.m.

The man tore off in a rental van,reaching speeds of 140 km/h, when theMountie activated his lights.

The officer reportedly followed at a safedistance and briefly lost sight of the van,but found it in a ditch around the corneron 240 Street.

The officer then spotted the suspectrunning away and a chase ensued.

The man was arrested but was laterreleased on a promise to appearin court.

Pricey tools stolenRidge Meadows RCMP are

Opinion

We’ll weather the weather,whatever the weather. Or we’llwhine about the weather.

It’s the small-talk topic (say thatthree times fast) of the month,the Lower Mainland’s crummysummer, the dearth of (vitamin)D, the sun has taken a vacation,gone back east to Toronto whereit’s hovering in the high 30s, intothe 40s with the humidity.

Is that what you’d rather haveinstead of our low 20s with asprinkling of rain?

I’ve been there, back east, lyingin bed covered by a patina of perspiration, sobad your partner doesn’t want anything to dowith you and if he/she does, the two of you slidearound like greased pigs, or mud wrestlers.

You spend a lot of time in the basement belowground or you ramp up the AC ’til the powercompany starts screaming “enough is enough.”

It was tolerable if you lived by the lake, or youhad a pool in the backyard, but most of us poorpeople had to go out sooner or later and thatheat hit you like a big hot frying pan in the face;it’s heavy like a shroud, or a wet blanket.

Never mind frying an egg, you could cook yourentire Sunday dinner on the sidewalk.

Not one of the reasons I emigrated out here,but I sure appreciate it, especially now that I’mone of the old guys who’s entitled to bitch aboutthe weather: “Can’t take the heat like I used to,no sir. Give us another one of them margaritas,will you, pal?”

I’ll tell you what I do get more than enoughof: these weather forecasters/meteorologists whofeed into the “rain-is-bad, sun-is-good” mentalitythat everyone craves and – celebrities that theyare – go along with the running joke that theyare responsible for the “bad” weather.

Nor do any of you have to put up with all this“bad” weather: you can move to sunnier climes

or buy a house in Arizona wherethe air’s so consistently dry yournose spontaneously bleeds.

As I write this, however,Saturday last, the sun is out inall its carcinogenic glory, raysof pleasure bathing the LowerMainland – a window of oppor-tunity to mow the lawn, take thedog down to the water beforethe teeny boppers get there withtheir beer, or go down to CountryFest and listen to the Eagles trib-ute band.

The upside of the “bad” weath-er is that I haven’t had to start hauling water.It’s inevitable, of course, and according to mysources in the men’s locker room, the Districtis about to start charging us for access to theirwater, which doesn’t surprise me one bit; asusual they’re years behind in taking the initia-tive.

We rural types have been taking water that ispaid for by the taxes of Maple Ridge people, sowe could fill our wells, water our livestock, etc.

My source tells me that we are going to haveto insert a credit or debit card to pay for themunicipal aqua, a user fee.

How much remains to be seen, but I will paynonetheless, needing the water.

I would feel better about it if I knew that everyhouse in Maple Ridge was being metered forwater use, which they are not.

We, in the country, have developed a greaterrespect for the resource because our supplies arelimited. I have never washed my car, wateredmy lawn, or power washed anything in the near30 years I have lived here.

I turn the tap off and on when I brush myteeth, I shower in town, and when it’s yellow Ilet it mellow.

Respect the rain, that’s my refrain. Back to youSophie and Steve.

Our View

Giving a quackThere’s a fun family event planned at

Maple Ridge Park.Meadow Ridge Rotary Club’s inaug-

ural duck race is being held on Sunday,with upwards of 10,000 rubber duckiesexpected to swim down a section of theAlouette River.

The 1 p.m. race is sure to be a nail-bitting blast for onlookers who havebucks riding on the ducks. There’s morethan $35,000 worth of prizes – not leastof which is a 2011 Jeep Wrangler.

But there’s more fun than the raceitself. There will full-on carnival-style,free, family festival, complete withclowns, facepainting, arts and crafts,bouncy castles, vendors, local perform-ers, and visiting ducks of all sizes.

Real accolades go to the founders ofthe Rotary Duck Race. They’ve deviseda fun fundraiser fitting for a communityrich in outdoor recreation opportunities.

And it’s aimed at making a real dif-ference in the lives of children in MapleRidge and Pitt Meadows.

The club that has helped the com-munity recognize its Hometown Heroesfor years has created another annualfundraiser – one that could raise up to$100,000 for KidSport and local youth.

The first $25,000 (apparently alreadyexceeded) goes towards KidSport. Therest of the funds will be divided among15 local youth organizations.

Many of the youthful benefactors ofthis initiative won’t fully appreciate howlucky they are to have such an incred-ible team of local business people work-ing so hard on their behalf.

But the team here at The TIMES,your community newspaper reporterswho have been reporting on local indi-vidual and team sports for more than aquarter century, realize how significantthis Rotary Duck Race contribution is toour kids. It’s a huge gesture for less for-tunate kids who might not otherwise beable to play sports.

It helps give our youth a rewardingand fun option to “hanging out” andmaybe travelling down a troubled road.

Even if you can’t be there for raceday, consider buying a ticket. It givesyou a chance to win a Jeep, a trip fortwo, or a myriad other prizes. But most-ly, you’ll help ensure a promising futurefor our youth.

Dear Editor,I have never really been a political per-

son, pretty much have voted the statusquo.

But after reading the article by SylverMcLaren [Mayor’s race empties councilchairs, July 12, TIMES] I feel compelledto voice my outrage over Councillor JohnBecker’s arrogant remarks.

I can’t help but wonder why a man whoclearly doesn’t care about his colleagues,has no respect for the office, and obvious-ly feels he is far above the average citizenof this community would put his nameforward to run for the position of mayor.

How generous of him to offer two days

a week to the office!It is insulting that he referred to his col-

leagues as dogs (Huskies) and himself asthe head dog to lead the pack. Clearly, Mr.Becker wants Pitt Meadows run his wayor no way.

His comments about kissing babies andshaking hands – what a joke! The onlytime you see Mr. Becker at any publicevent is during the months leading up toan election.

It is quite obvious that Mr. Becker nolonger wants to be on council and is ask-ing for a way out. Please, my fellow cit-izens, let’s help him, and vote him out.

K. Jensen, Pitt Meadows

Councillor needs help to leave

Dear Editor,Again, I am perplexed by

Councillor Craig Speirs’scomments regarding theAlbion Flats proposal tothe Agricultural LandCommission. He flatlydenounces the plan thatthe majority of council sup-ports, calling it an embar-rassment and inappropri-ate, yet leaves us with noplan of his own, other thanleaving it as is.

No proactive environ-mentally sound commentsand suggestions have beenforwarded to possibly cre-ating mini bird/wildlifesanctuary with non-evasive

footpaths where MapleRidge residents can focusand be proud of our ownlocal indigenousfauna, migratingand year-roundbirds, and localwildlife.

Not a singleoriginal thought,nothing positive,just that he’sagainst it likeanything elsethat is progres-sive in this com-munity.

As CouncillorJudy Dueck pointed out,based on numerous public

hearings and public input,council has delivered whatthe community wants.

It’s hypocriticalto deny work-ing families theopportunities forjobs and the abil-ity to spend theirmoney in ourcommunity, afterhaving supportedthe Jackson Farmdevelopmentwhen it wasclearly outsidethe urban bound-ary.

I remember CouncillorSpeirs saying that he did soin the spirit of comprom-ise.

Well, what happened tothat spirit of compromise? Isee this proposal as a validcompromise that is goingto move our communityahead into the future, tothe degree that anyonewith vision and imagina-tion can appreciate.

Apparently, CouncillorSpeirs has “missed theboat.”Grover E. Telford, Maple Ridge

Whomost needs a raise?Dear Editor,

I see the politicians are soon receiving a raise? Let’scompare their wages now to what the seniors make peryear: $18,924.40 (before taxes).

A person with a disability, on a pension, makes$10,877.04 per year.

Our mayor makes $98,558 and our council membersvary from $43,258 to $41,800.

Dear Editor,We at TransLink are

concerned that the itemabout Golden Ears Bridgetoll billings [Scannersmisread vehicle, July 19,TIMES] might misleadyour readers.

In June – a typicalmonth for the bridge– there were 850,000 indi-vidual crossings. In 200individual crossings the

vehicle was not correctlyidentified. That is 0.0235per cent.

The laser-based systemthat identifies and/or con-firms the classification ofeach vehicle is requiredby contract to be accurate97 per cent of the time ormore; the contractor, V-Flow, has achieved morethan 99 per cent accuracywith that element, and

internal controls increasethe accuracy level evenfurther, mitigating the riskthat a customer will bebilled incorrectly. In June,as we’ve said, there were200 cases out of 850,000 inwhich a mis-classificationslipped through.

No automated system is100 per cent accurate, andwe encourage all consum-ers to check their billsregularly. When a problemis discovered and broughtto our contractor’s atten-tion, the issue can be recti-fied within minutes.

Significantly, it was thecontractor who spottedthis anomaly some monthsago and brought it to theattention of TransLink.

We are constantly look-ing for ways of improvingthe system.

Men thrown under feminist busDear Editor,

It is offensive that the term “male dominated” is usedto describe cycling in the Vancouver area. Anyonecan get a bike and ride. There are no men barring theentrances to our cycle shops. But as we have so fre-quently seen, women seem to need special groups.

Surely the fact that more men are cycling to their des-tinations is positive and should be praised.

Instead, we get more anti-male feminist propaganda.Charles Field, Maple Ridge

A mysterious fire on 232nd Street Tuesday destroyed a barn and at least one vehicle.

by Sylver [email protected]

A suspicious fire reduced a Maple Ridgebarn to ash and debris earlier this week,leaving fire officials hunting for the cause.

For the second time in a week, firefight-ers were called out to 12489 232nd St.

The first time was Saturday, when theowner was illegally burning yard waste,said assistant fire chief Mark Smitton.

Then, on Tuesday afternoon, threetrucks, and 12 firefighters were calledback again.

They worked to quickly douse the barnfire, bringing it under control within anhour, Smitton said.

Later the same day, the barn – whichhad no electrictity – was levelled by anexcavator for safety purposes, he added.

And a few hours after the blaze, allthat remained was fire truck ruts, muck,one burned out Mercedes that had beenpulled out of the burning barn, anotherslightly singed car and piles of rubble.

Firefighters are still investigating thecause of the fire.

Smitton confirmed that the five-acre-plus lot once had a home on it. It burneddown two years ago, he said.

As an aside, he reminded residents thatonly people living east of 240th Street canapply for backyard burning permits.

Two men have declaredthey want to run as NDPcandidates in the nextprovincial election inMaple Ridge-Mission.

The Maple Ridge-MissionNDP is gearing up for anomination meeting toselect a candidate to runprovincially.

According to the MapleRidge-Mission constitu-ency association presidentSimon Challenger, theprovincial NDP is being“prudent” by lining up acandidate in case the writdrops and an election iscalled.

“Like everybody else,we’re watching withamusement what’s hap-pening with Christy Clarkand the gang,” Challengersaid.

Bob D’Eith, executivedirector of the Music BCIndustry Association andan entertainment law-yer, was the first to beapproved as a nominee.

Mike Bocking, who ranfor the seat in the 2009election and lost to LiberalMarc Dalton, is the secondperson hoping to be thecandidate in the provincialconstituency.

Having at least twopotential candidates meansthere there will be anactual race, Challengersaid.

Bocking lost to Daltonby only 68 votes in the2009 election, and he said,given people are “veryupset” with everythingthat’s gone on in politics,he should be able to winin the next election.

The HST is a big issuefor the electorate, Bockingsaid, but he also saidthere’s been a “huge shift”of taxation from big cor-porations to the middleclass.

“It’s time for a fair taxsystem where everyonepays their share,” Bockingsaid.

The local constituency

association would like tohave the nomination meet-ing within the next sixweeks, which would givetime for the candidates tocampaign.

“There will be somepoliticking going on[within the association],”Challenger said.

D’Eith said he would liketo run to ensure social jus-tice returns to B.C.

“Provincially, therehasn’t been a correct strat-egy to deal with homeless-ness, mental illness, anddrug addiction,” he said.

He said provincial poli-cies have been brought inthat hurt “hard-workingcitizens, from shifting taxto consumers with theHST, to taking gamingfunds away from charities,to cutting funding to artsand culture, to dismant-ling legal aid to the mostvulnerable in our society,to crippling our court sys-tem.”

“We have lost our way.We need to shift gearsand put in a governmentthat puts the interests ofits citizens first. We needto bring in a governmentdedicated to social jus-tice.”

D’Eith would also liketo address the agriculturalland reserve issue, andwants to strike the rightbalance between protect-ing farmland and develop-ment.

D’Eith has lived inMaple Ridge for nineyears, is married, and hasthree children and twostep-children in the MapleRidge-Pitt Meadows SchoolDistrict.

He has volunteered withthe Ridge Meadows MinorHockey Association as acoach for four years.

Becker & Company lawyers areback at The TIMES.

The hiatus has ended,and between our lawyers, we willendeavour to pen thoughtful, andoccasionally amusing, columns onlegal topics of interest to you.

Some general commentary on law-yers, side-stepping lawyer jokes fornow, at this point will help propel usinto a “dialogue” on lawyers, trust,and parachutes.

First of all, let’s all acknowledgethat some folks view going to thelawyer the same way they face a rootcanal. Well, it needn’t be this way.

Most people will need a lawyerjust a few times in a lifetime; othersmore. Most often it’s to buy or sell ahouse, get a will drafted or probated,or sometimes, unfortunately, get adivorce.

These services are what we call“personal legal services.”

For the businessperson, a closeworking relationship with a businesslawyer and other business advisers iscritical to ongoing business success.

The lawyer ensures the business isset up with the right structure wheth-

er that’s an incorpora-tion, a partnership oranother structure. Abusiness or “commer-cial” lawyer also dealswith specific legalissues as they arise– negotiating contracts,working through a dis-pute, dealing with out-standing debts – andprovides general busi-ness advice as needed.

A good businesslawyer becomes atrusted adviser to a cli-ent, and over the yearsthe trust and loyaltythat’s developed canadvance a business by leaps andbounds.

With every client, costs and controlof an issue is of some concern.

In my experience, friction betweena client and a lawyer arises when thelawyer has not properly explainedthe process and costs of a particularmatter. While the lawyer may beintimately familiar with the plan ofaction, the client is often involved

for the first time andwith no idea of thecosts and processesinvolved. It’s thelawyer’s responsibilityto explain all this toensure a happy work-ing relationship withthe client.

In reality, some-times the cost ofproper professionaladvice goes beyondthe client’s budget.In this case, lawyerswill occasionally para-chute in for a shortwhile and act as aresource on a matter,

rather than taking full charge of theissue.

As we develop topics for futurecolumns, we welcome your sugges-tions and questions to [email protected]. But it is important toremember that these articles can inno way replace suitable legal advicefor a specific situation.

For a proper detailed legal opinion,please contact your lawyer.

Questions welcome

Rotary Duck Race

Ticket revenue key to speedskatersSylver McLaren/TIMES

Allison Campbell broke the recordfor total points in a single season.

Organizations in MapleRidge and Pitt Meadowsthat sold Rotary DuckRace tickets will get tokeep between 50 and100 per cent of theticket sales.by Sylver [email protected]

Community youthgroups in Maple Ridge andPitt Meadows were invitedto make money for theirown organization by sell-ing tickets for the RotaryDuck Race.

One group did especiallywell and sold 200 tickets.

Ridge MeadowsSpeedskating Associationtries to raise about $10,000a year to subsidize the icecosts, said RMSSA vice-president Trish MacKay.

“I think it’s just fabu-lous,” exclaimed MacKay.

“Originally we were toldwe would get to keep 50per cent of the ticket sales,with the other portiongoing towards KidSport,”said MacKay. However,she heard that businesseshave sold so many ducktickets that the participat-ing groups might be ableto keep 100 per cent oftheir own sales.

If RMSSA gets to keep100 per cent of the ticketsales that will be $2,000 or20 per cent of the yearlyfundraising efforts.

“We usually do bottledrives, pub nights, raffles,and competitions, but thiswas so much better – bet-ter prizes can sell moretickets,” MacKay said.

Bob Shantz, the race’schief legal officer, said hehopes what MacKay heardwill be true.

“It’s a possibility, but it

will have to go to anothercommittee for a final deci-sion. We did say 25 percent to KidSport and thebalance to all the others,”said Shantz.

“Every dollar that ismade goes to the kids.One hundred per cent goesto their sports activities,”Shantz added.

The original goal of theMeadow Ridge Rotary

Club was to sell 10,000 for$10 each. The first $25,000is to be donated to theMaple Ridge chapter ofKidSport.

The remaining $75,000support youth sports andRotary youth projectsin Maple Ridge and PittMeadows and priority willbe given to youth organ-izations that participatedin the Duck Race.

Money made from theDuck Race will be used toprovide support to youthsports and to Rotary youthprojects in the community.

Pitt Meadows U10 girlssoccer team, the Rockets,is one of 15 finalists –nationwide – to be pickedfor the BMO Team of theWeek contest.

They are the only teamin mainland B.C. to makeit this far, and they needvotes to win a $125,000upgrade to a soccer field inPitt Meadows.

It’s easy for people tovote: they just have to goto www.bmosoccer.com;register their email address,name, age, and postalcode; and vote for the PittMeadows Rockets.

Coach JamieSchwingenschloegl hopeslocals will vote every day.

The national contestencourages youth soccerteams between the agesof seven and 12 to submittheir story, focusing onteam pride, spirit, com-munity commitment, andpassion for the game.

Now, the top 15 finalistshave the chance to win the$125,000 grand prize anda trip to a Toronto FC orVancouver Whitecaps FCsoccer match.

Four girls from theteam, Kirsten Koellmel,

Christina Jones, MadisonSchmidt, and MakenzySchwingenschloegl,gave a cheer at a recentPitt Meadows councilmeeting, after CoachSchwingenschloegl gavea presentation about thecontest.

The team was selectedout of a pool of 500 otherteams because of the play-ers’ outstanding attitudeson and off the field, he toldcouncil.

These girls have grownfrom “five-year-olds doingballet kicks on the field,”to the team they are today,said Schwingenschloegl,who has coached most ofthem for five years.

The Rockets hosted

a Soccer Day in PittMeadows on Sunday,July 24 “to raise aware-ness in our communityso more people wouldbe inclined to vote for usevery day between Aug.1 and Aug. 15th,” saidSchwingenschloegl.

They also held a by-donation barbecue to raisemoney for the CanadianTire Jumpstart Program.They raised $623.27. Thisis a charity they havealready donated $500 to aspart of being named final-ist in the BMO Team of theWeek.

The kids had a fooddrive, as well.

“We had collected morethan 700 items of food,

which was enough foodto feed children in need inour area for over a month.It was a very emotionalmoment for the girls andthe parents. The girls wereso proud of their accom-plishment after hearing thenews,” he said.

The BMO Team of theWeek voting runs Aug.1 to 15. Residents acrossCanada can vote for anyone of the remaining 15teams, and help determinethe champion.

Coach Schwingenschloeglreiterated that folks canvote once a day onlineat www.gorockets.ca orwww.bmosoccer.com, andmust have a valid emailaddress and postal code.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections July 31 - August 6, 2011★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Ah, romance – Sunday(and the weeks ahead) bring a light, friendly, flirtatious,fun kind of attraction that you’ve never quite experiencedbefore. (But you will, many times in the eight yearsahead.) Depending on your age and situation, romancecould be replaced by creative surges, sports, vacation,joys with children, or speculative pursuits. Remember,don’t start anything important before Aug. 26 – exceptthis weekend’s love affair. (It will turn into a puzzler, butstill worth it.) Tackle routine chores Monday/Tuesday.Relationships bless and puzzle, Wednesday onward.Taurus April 20-May 20: Delay big new starts untilAug. 26 onward. A sweet, beneficial aura settles overyour home life, property issues, gardening, retirementplans, security concerns, and with parent-childrenissues and projects. (These are especially lucky Sunday.)Though you might feel a bit sluggish, the weeks aheadwill be very active. Themes of beauty and love toy withyour thoughts, like the breeze with a curtain, especiallyMonday/Tuesday. Old flames allure, then are gone. Youcan accomplish important (not new) chores Wednesdayto Saturday, but be diplomatic, co-operative Friday/Saturday.Gemini May 21-June 20: This week starts with a greatweekend (July 30 and 31). Love and society’s approvalseem to mix, though this takes place on a light, friendly noterather than with romance’s mad flush. Your conscience ispleased.A trip pleases, a friendship could blossom, Sundayor Wednesday/Thursday (and all month). Still, certain“disagreements” of belief, religion, law, philosophy lurk,and could spring out swiftly, Monday, Thursday or Friday.You’re prone to make casual comments which others takeseriously. Start no new projects before Aug. 26 – theywould fail. Money’s coming – bank it!

Cancer June 21-July 22: Start nothing new beforeAug. 26. Stick with ongoing projects and relationships,or reprise past ones. (An acquaintance from the pastmight contact you.) The weeks ahead hold good moneyluck, especially in the spheres of property, family andfriends. (Friends and conventions are excellent conduitsto employment or more clients his year – to June 2012– if you’re seeking. But wait until Aug. 26 onward to seekthe new. ) That money luck might “show up” Sunday,Monday or Thursday. Wednesday starts seven weeksof sexual magnetism! Romance (only) beckons Friday/Saturday.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Careful until Sept. 19 – legalmatters can work against you. In far travel, international,cultural, educational and ethical areas, work withinstitutions and civil servants – otherwise, these zonescan restrict or burden you. For the immediate few weeksahead – to Aug. 26 – avoid starting any major newproject. (Then, from Aug. 26 to Sept. 19, form plans totake significant action in these zones – far travel, etc.– during the late September to Nov. 10 period.) Despiteall these “wait” messages, your charisma, energy andmood climb mightily now, especially Sunday!Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Avoid initiating new projects,relationships or broad lifestyle changes before Aug. 26,especially this week. (This week runs smoothly, but theindecision that a “new start” would cause could be deepand have repercussions beyond this month.) In general,you’re a bit tired for several weeks ahead. Spend thistime contemplating, resting, renewing old acquaintance,resolving old hurts and putting your emotional andspiritual worlds on an even keel. You’re wise now, canunderstand things that eluded you in previous years. Asocial contact will pique your sexual interest soon.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Start nothing new before Aug.26. Soon (next week onward) welcome faces from thepast will enter, among them, perhaps, a former lightromance. But this week (especially Sunday!) the accentis fully on present company – social delights, lightromance, popularity, organizations, politics, conventions.Don’t make any big new relationships, though. Youmight have to make a choice over the month ahead,between intimacy/sex and friendship. Bosses and VIPsare impatient, temperamental for seven weeks: bediplomatic! You’re the star, “in charge” Wednesday/Thursday! Speak up!Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Start nothing new, importantbefore Aug. 26. Stick with ongoing people and projects,or reprise those from the past – especially in careerand status zones. A former boss, investor, or career rolemight return soon. (Since you’re in a year of lucky moneyopportunities, this “return” might have a good moneybenefit.) Your reputation is on the line, so have safetynets in place: Plan B, extra supplies, back-up machinery,etc. Keep your appointment calendar “slim.” People incharge, authorities and parents treat you favourably.Avoid legal hassles for seven weeks.Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: A sweet, mellow monthof enlightenment, travel, culture, learning and love liesahead. You understand the need for a social or moralcode. Embrace wider learning, the hint of idea, ratherthan specifics (these can be all awry). Re-check details,addresses, money amounts now to Aug. 26 – and startno new projects or relationships before then. If you’rea student, wait until Aug. 26 onward to make you finalchoice of courses, if you can. Sunday’s remarkable – loveis available, so is a great teacher! Ambition succeedsMonday. Hopes and popularity soar Wednesday/Thursday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Start no new projects orrelationshipsbeforeAug.26.Avery interestingmonth facesyou, filled with quiet but potent mysteries, possibilities,financial keys, golden secrets, intimate bonds andlifestyle choices. And yet – you shouldn’t start anythingnew! The viable stuff will come from the past, or fromongoing situations. Keep an eye on indecision, misseddeadlines, miscalculated profits…but do delve deep andsee what’s there. (Especially Sunday, when money is “inthe ground.”) Someone seriously contemplates lettingyou into their privacy. Hopes rise at week’s end.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The general accent lies onopportunity, fresh horizons, partnerships, agreementsand disputes, negotiation and litigation. You generallylike this area, you feel a certain life force or vivacity here.Sunday could be spectacular in these things – be open,forward, approach others, be diplomatic, eager to join. Insome cases, love occurs! Remember, though, not to startanything new and important before Aug. 26. So thoseopportunities might come from the past, or the freshair come from breaking old chains. Secrets yield profitsMonday. Higher-ups are watching Friday/Saturday.Pisces Feb.19-March 20: Separate routine chores fromnew, difficult or unfamiliar ones. Tackle only the formerbefore Aug. 26. You might have to clean up an old mess,or re-assume a former employment role. A nice rewardaccompanies these activities. Co-workers are pleasant,affectionate. If someone offers you a different job Sunday,grab it! But DO NOT buy machinery, a car, electronics,etc. – even clothes – before Aug. 26. Your romantic sceneis going to heat up soon. That’s better than chasing amoney gamble that lures you. An ex-partner or spousemight appear – it’s short. Secrets midweek.
