Enough room
at recycling
depot for
kitchen waste
by Ph i l M e lnych uk
staff reporter

Metro Vancouver agrees, there’s

enough room at the Ridge Meadows
Recycling Depot for piles of kitchen
and yard waste.
Now all Maple Ridge wants the re-
gion to do is to allow higher tipping
fees to pay for the cost of rework-
ing the site to allow for that and the
district will be a step closer to col-
lecting kitchen waste for compost-
ing and removal from the garbage
stream.
Maple Ridge has asked several
times that Metro Vancouver modify
its site off River Road in the Albion
Industrial Park, where the garbage
transfer station and recycling depot
are located, and the regional gov-
ernment recently agreed the site
could accommodate a green waste

Tolls discounted on Golden Ears Bridge
THE NEWS/files
Tolls will begin for off-peak hours on the
Golden Ears on April 15.
Aim is to increase usage of
under-utilized span
by P h i l M e l nychuk
staff reporter
Evening and weekend crossings
of the Golden Ears Bridge will be
a bargain for six weeks as Trans-
Link tweaks its toll structure.
Instead of paying $2.80 per cross-
ing, motorists with transponders
will only pay $1.95 if they make
the crossing after 7 p.m. Friday,
as well as Saturdays and Sundays.
The discount rate also applies
weeknights from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The goal is to see if lower rates
can persuade motorists to rejig
their schedules, something that
could be useful in future tolling
projects, and to see if it can at-
tract people who would normally
use the Port Mann Bridge.
TransLink is also trying to boost
use of the bridge as the number
of crossings falls below expecta-
tions. Average daily use is about
25,000 trips, whereas projections
from 2004 called for between
30,000 and 40,000 crossings every
day.
TransLink spokesman Ken Har-
die said the effects of the 2008 re-
cession, which reduced commer-
cial hauling across the bridge,
and lower-than-expected new
development on the north side
of the Fraser River have cut into
bridge numbers.
Tough economic times also af-
fect the number of people who
jump into their cars and go shop-
ping or out for entertainment, he
added.
“People just don’t travel as much
when times are tough.”
The public-private-partnership
model under which the bridge was
built calls for TransLink to make
yearly payments to the Golden
Crossing General Partnership for
its construction and operation.

A long, lonely fight for democracy
It doesn’t matter, the Fight
HST or recall campaign,
Corissa Bell is game
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter
I
t’s usually pitch
black when Corissa
Bell begins her day.
She’s awake before six to shower
and dress while the rest of house is
still asleep. She prepares breakfast
for her two daughters – one in high
school, the other in elementary – as
well as the Korean student board-
ing with the family. After dropping
them off at school, she returns home
to begin the work that has consumed
her life for the past year.
There’s schedules to confirm, can-
vassers to coordinate, supplies to de-
liver, fundraisers to plan, signature
sheets to collect, as well as the ever-
ringing phone to answer.
Bell is the driving force behind the
local Fight HST campaign, and until
it folded last week, the head organiz-
er for the Down With Dalton recall
campaign.
Her home in Maple Ridge’s upscale
Rock Ridge neighbourhood is impec-
cably clean, and even the massive
stacks of papers that have rendered
the family’s kitchen table all but use-
less, are arranged in neat, orderly
rows.
From this home base, she manages
a team of more than 100 volunteers.
She has spent countless hours can-
vassing Maple Ridge homes, col-
lecting signatures door-to-door in
driving wind and rain. It’s not un-
common for her to be up until one or
two in the morning, she says.
Her 30th birthday was last month,
but she opted to forego a party for
the milestone.
“We’ll have one when all this is
done. It will be nice to spend that
time with my family,” says Bell.
“The campaign has been tough on
them. They are used to getting all
my attention.”
Bell still finds time to volunteer as
a class representative for her daugh-
ter’s elementary school’s parent ad-
visory council, and regularly helps
out with the annual Christmas Ha-
ven event and Katie’s Place animal
shelter.
Although the recall campaign has
meant less time with her children,
Bell says they are the reason she got
involved in the first place. Bell hopes
the Fight HST campaign sets a posi-
tive example for future generations.
“It’s a sacrifice, but it’s worth it.
I want to teach them that if some-
thing’s not right, you need to stand
up and say so,” she says. “If you be-

lieve in something, you have to do
something about it.”
To Bell, the HST represents a war
on the middle class that, if left un-
checked, will only widen the gulf be-
tween the rich and the poor.
“Instead of corporations, it’s people
who will be paying the tax,” she says.
“If this continues, in 10 to 20 years,
there will be no middle class.”
The two main positives the Liber-
als said the tax would bring – more
jobs and lower consumer pricing –
haven’t materialized, she contends.
The supposed benefits of the tax re-
ally only apply to big businesses, Bell
adds, and the majority of business
owners in B.C. won’t see any benefit.
“Our business certainly hasn’t
benefitted,” she says. “I talk to busi-
nesses all the time and they tell me
the same thing.”
Bell and her husband Jon operate a
successful web development compa-
ny, and their new Maple Ridge home
would certainly suggest the couple is
doing quite well. But that wasn’t al-
ways the case, she says.
“I grew up in a trailer in Terrace,
living paycheck to paycheck, so I
know what it’s like to be poor,” she
says. “Jon didn’t have a lot of mon-
ey growing up, either. We’ve both
worked very hard to get where we
are, but we haven’t forgotten where
we’ve come from.”
Bell wasn’t always so politically ac-
tive, though. She didn’t vote for the
first time until she was 23, and was
“pretty out of the loop,” by her own
admission.
But more and more, she began to
hear people her own age say that

voting didn’t matter, that it was a
waste of time. The apathy of her
peers shocked her.
“I wanted to prove to them that it
wasn’t a waste of time,” Bell says.
Bell first became involved with
the local Fight HST campaign after
visiting a community forum held at
the Ridge Meadows Seniors’ Activity
Centre last year. When Bell arrived,
she found hundreds of people lined
up outside, and the small number
of volunteers on hand struggling to
deal with the chaos.
She stepped in to help organize
the crowd, and the event organizers
asked her if she would be interested
in organizing the local Fight HST
campaign. At the time, Maple Ridge
was the last area in B.C. without a
coordinator.
“When I said yes, I had no idea it
would last this long, or turn into a re-

call campaign,” says Bell.
Her husband Jon has supported
her every step of the way,
“In a country where the rich con-
tinue to take from the less fortunate
and kick into submission anyone try-
ing to make a difference, Corisa still
fights,” he said. “Why? Because she
knows what’s happening with the
HST isn’t right ... If only our MLAs
weren’t too selfish to stand up in this
same way.”
Last May, Bell spearheaded the
Fight HST petition in the provincial
electoral ridings of Maple Ridge-Pitt
Meadows, and Maple Ridge-Mission,
gathering 12,000 signatures in the
first 45 days of the 90-day campaign.
“I wasn’t surprised we succeeded,”
she says. “It was extremely clear no
one wanted [the HST].”
When the Liberal government
decided to put off a referendum on

JOIN US ON:
the tax until September 2011, the
campaign shifted gears and targeted
Maple Ridge-Mission Liberal MLA
Marc Dalton with a recall campaign.
In order to be successful, and trig-
ger a by-election, Bell and her volun-
teers needed the signatures of 14,000
registered voters in the riding within
a 90-day span.
After new premier Christy Clark
announced the HST referendum
would be moved up to June, Bell and
co-organizer Wilf McIntyre decided
last week to abandon the recall cam-
paign, which was to have run into
May, and instead focus solely on the
mail-in ballot HST referendum.
The group had collected 2,000 sig-
natures in the first month of the re-
call campaign.
“It wasn’t an easy decision, because
I knew that we could be successful,”
Bell says. “It was one or the other.”
Still, Bell admits the deck may have
been stacked against the recall cam-
paign from the beginning.
“The recall legislation was writ-
ten in a very particular way, so it
wouldn’t be successful,” she says.
“Dalton and his people are free to
do whatever they want, but we are
strapped with all sorts of rules.
“It’s made to fail. It’s made to be
impossible.”
But the recall campaign wasn’t
completely ineffective, she said.
“That pressure forced them to
move [the HST referendum] up to
June. It made a difference.”
Both the recall and the Fight HST
campaigns have been grass roots ef-
forts, she contends, and Bell bristles
at the notion that the NDP is in-
volved.
“Sometimes I wish they were,” she
says. “It would be nice to have that
support.”
But the recall campaign was about
more than just recalling an MLA, she
says, just as the Fight HST campaign
was about more than an unfair tax.
“It’s about holding the politicians
we elect to account,” she says. “It’s
about standing up and saying, ‘This
isn’t right.’ It’s about participating
in our democracy, and letting the
people we hire to represent us know
they work for us, and not the other
way around.”
Bell believes the popular support
of the Fight HST campaigns is a sign
that more and more people are fed
up with how governments in Canada
treat Canadians.
“I used to be so proud to be Canadi-
an,” she says. “I even stopped drink-
ing Molson Canadian after they sold
it to the Americans. But I just don’t
feel like I’m a part of Canada any-
more. The government does what-
ever it wants, and we don’t matter
anymore.”
The only way to change things to
stand up and hold elected politicians
to account, she says, and the HST
referendum is just that opportunity.

Missed email leads to prison escape
Miscommunication
blamed for escape of three
inmates from work crew
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter
A miscommunication between
staff during the hectic holiday
season helped three men es-
cape from a prison work crew
just before New Year’s Eve.
An email advising staff at the
Fraser Regional Correctional
Centre to shut down crews
between Christmas and New
Year was not sent to the offi-
cer in charge of inmates hired
to work at tree farm, near the
Alouette Dam.
The mistake resulted in two
crews working at the Allco fish
hatchery on Dec. 30, a group
much larger than the one usu-
ally stationed at the site at the
end of 248th Street.
The crowd allowed Ryan Plot-
nikoff, Douglas Erickson and
David Traill to slip away un-
noticed.
An incident report obtained
by The News notes corrections
officers only realized they were
missing after RCMP called the
prison around 12:40 p.m. to re-
port they had received a call

Garbage waste between 2-5 years away
Recycle from front
As part of the region,
Maple Ridge has to help
Metro Vancouver divert
70 per cent of its garbage
from the Cache Creek
garbage dump by 2015,
and collecting yard and
kitchen scraps is one of
the final steps that would
allow that.
But Day guessed that
collecting kitchen waste
is between two and five
years away.
And just how it would
work in Maple Ridge re-
mains to be seen. Private
contractors who now
collect trash in Maple
Ridge could add that to
their duties, or it could
be done by the recycling
society. However, col-
lecting potato peelings
and water melon husks
and other kitchen slosh
would require different
trucks from the ones that
haul away the blue box
recyclables.
And whatever’s decid-
ed would have to be paid
for at the local level.
“It’s a user-pay system.
Nothing comes for free,”
Day added.
But she pointed out
the charge for dumping
green waste is about half
what it costs to dump
garbage, so there is an
economic incentive.
Mayor Ernie Daykin

but says there are other
items, such as construc-

Discounted rate
TransLink has decided to offer 30-per-cent toll
discounts on the Golden Ears Bridge during off-
peak commuting hours.
The discounts will apply after 7 p.m. and before
5:59 a.m. Monday to Thursday, and all weekend
long after 7 p.m. Friday, as well as on holidays for
a six-week period beginning April 15.
This trial period is meant to determine if dis-
counted rates will encourage more people to
use the Golden Ears Bridge, as some are still
driving to Mission, Coquitlam and New West-
minster to access toll-free bridges to cross the
Fraser River.
While it seems logical to save gas and time by
taking the toll bridge, at the end of the day, it’s
another bill to pay, and the only people paying
it are those using the Golden Ears, so the cost to
them is greater than if it was shared by all re-
gional or B.C. taxpayers.
And the bill adds up quickly, even with a tran-
sponder.
But TransLink has bills of its own – $71 million
this year for debt servicing and contractor pay-
ments as part of its private public partnership.
TransLink is about $30 million short at the mo-
ment.
But if you want more people to use the bridge,
doesn’t it make more sense to offer discounts dur-
ing peak periods, when more vehicles are on the
roads – 10 cars at $2 is greater than five at $3.
Not enough of them are using the Golden Ears
Bridge now. Average daily use is about 25,000
trips, whereas projections from 2004 called for
between 30,000 and 40,000 crossings every day.
Discounted tolls during rush-hour might
also help reduce traffic jams on the Port Mann
Bridge, not to mention emissions from idling
engines.
Discounted tolls are just a temporary solution,

Most Wanted nabbed in Pitt Meadows

Mathew Wolfe arrested at parents’ home
on allegations of stealing trailers
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter
An anonymous tip
helped Mounties nab
one of Metro Vancou-
ver’s most wanted car
thieves Friday in Pitt
Meadows.
Mathew Colin Wolfe
was taken into custody
at his parents’ home
around 8 a.m. The
26-year-old is the first
trailer thief to make the
RCMP’s annual Top 10
list, released just a day
before he was caught.
“We are hoping to get
all 10 by the end of the
month,” said Sgt. Gord
Elias, with the Integrat-
ed Municipal Provincial
Auto Crime Team.
Police allege Wolfe
was registering stolen
trailers and selling them
on Craigslist. He faces
a total of 36 criminal
charges as a result of the
allegations.
Wolfe entered guilty
pleas to several charg-
es Tuesday, including
fraud, uttering a forged
document, possessing
stolen property and pos-
session of stolen prop-
erty over $,5000. He will
be sentenced in July.
Investigators believe
Wolfe is one of the more
prolific trailer thieves in
B.C., where 500 trailers
are reported stolen an-
nually.
Last week, police
rolled out new bait trail-
ers equipped with hid-
den GPS beacons to help
cut down the thefts.
“A host of different
types of trailers are now
armed with hidden GPS
technology and will be
planted throughout Brit-
ish Columbia, just wait-
ing to be stolen,” said
Elias at a press confer-
ence.
“They will look just
like any other trailer
and will come in many
makes, models, sizes and
colours. We’re going to
move them around and
change them up, wher-
ever they’re needed.”
Stolen trailers, which
can range from cargo
or utility trailers to rec-
reational ones, are often went down by three per RDM Personal Injury Lawyers.

Volunteer hoping to make her way to Africa

by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter

Garibaldi secondary
student Samantha Stan-
ley is trying to raise
money to travel to Af-
rica, where she hopes
to volunteer with the
Free the Children aid
organization and build a
school.
Stanley hopes to help
do so in rural Kenya, as
well as teach English at
an elementary school
during her three-week
stay.

“Poverty, lack
of water, AIDS,
education, it’s all
related.”
Samantha Stanley

“It’s a long way from Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

home, and I’ve never re-
ally travelled before,”
she says. “But if I work
my butt off, I hope I’ll get
Samantha Stanley is trying to raise money to travel to Kenya in order to help children.
there.”
The biggest issue fac-
ing the children of Kenya
is the spread of AIDS,
says Stanley. The schools
help break the cycle of
poverty and disease by
providing children with
an education.
Many of the schools
built by Free The Chil-
dren are also built with
a large water tank, so
students can take fresh
water home with them.
“In African cultures,
it’s the women who are
responsible for getting
clean water every day. So
if a girl has to travel miles
to fetch water, she won’t
be able to go to school,”
she says. “Poverty, lack
of water, AIDS, educa-
tion, it’s all related.”
Stanley is hoping to
raise more than $6,000
for the trip. Members
of the local Rotary and
Lions chapters have al-
ready help contribute
some money.
Stanley is planning a
charity car wash at Kir-
mac Collision on Satur-
day, April 16 from 9:30
a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with re-
freshments and music.
Stanley and her class
mates in Garibaldi sec-
ondary’s Youth Action
Team have already
helped raise $10,000 in
the past three years to
help build a school in Si-
erra Leone.
“My generation wasn’t
nearly as socially re-
sponsible,” says her fa-
ther, Dan. “It gives me
hope for the future to see
kids so involved these
days.”

‘Risky to bust up flow of gas tax to TransLink’

Mayors’ chair counsels
cities against going alone
s to ries by Je f f Nag e l
Black Press
Any move to split up the
stream of funding to TransLink
from its share of the federal gas
tax could threaten the integrity
of Metro Vancouver’s transit
system, warns the chair of the
region’s mayors council.
North Vancouver District
Mayor Richard Walton was re-
sponding to suggestions from
Delta council that it might want
to break from TransLink and
use Delta’s share of the gas tax
to run its own transit service.
“It wouldn’t be very eas-
ily workable,” he said. “That’s
something we’d have to talk
about as a group. It would have
significant implications for
TransLink.”
The federal budget handed
down March 22 included a
pledge the Conservative gov-
ernment will enshrine the gas
tax transfer in law.
It’s worth $123 million a year
to TransLink – half of what Ot-
tawa collects from the extra 10
cents in federal gasoline tax
added to every litre of fuel sold
in the Lower Mainland.
The arrangement whereby
the money returned to this re-
gion is used by TransLink for
regional transportation needs
was agreed to years ago by the
Metro Vancouver board and the
Union of B.C. Municipalities.
“I think those funds should
come directly to us,” Delta
Mayor Lois Jackson said.
“If we took the gas tax that’s
generated south of the river
and put those funds into the
things we need south of the riv-
er, would that give us
a better opportunity to
advance our options?”
Surrey council has
also mulled the idea of
striking off on its own
to try to bring rapid
transit expansion fast-
er than TransLink.
“We know those
kinds of challenges,”
Walton said. “The
mayors at the most Walton
remote parts of Metro
Vancouver question whether
they’re getting fair value from
TransLink.”
He said it makes more sense
for those cities to pursue so-
lutions directly with Trans-
Link than to try to split up the
mutually agreed pot of money
that’s a major part of the au-
thority’s budget.

It’s all in the family
At VAN DER WAL Equipment, business really is all in
the family. Owner Mark Vander Wal has been there for
almost two decades, and his connection to the business
goes back even further.
“I took it over in 1989, but my dad started it in 1957,”
Vander Wal said.
That family connection remains strong today, as
Vander Wal’s two sons have worked with him for over a
decade.
“They graduated, went to college and came here,”
Vander Wal said. “Jason got here in 1997, and Mike got
here a couple of years later.”
Vander Wal said being able to work with his sons is a
unique opportunity.
“A lot of people don’t get along with their sons,” he
said. “We’ve been very fortunate that we all get along.”
He’s hoping his sons will take over the business when
he’s ready to retire down the road, as its family-owned
continuity is important to him.

• Remove & replace continuing what you’ve done; they just extend it.”
He said that connection can be valuable for them as
existing driveways well.
“Instead of starting at the beginning, they can start
WE ARE WCB further along the course.”
INSURED The business, which sells and services all types of farm
equipment, has changed considerably over the years,
though. Vander Wal said they’ve had to adapt to how the
local agricultural sector has shifted.
“Agriculture, a lot of it has gone from dairy to
150-horsepower tractors. … Most are four-wheel-drive
with loaders. That’s a big change, as it used to be mostly
two-wheel drive.”
The business isn’t all about just the big farms, though,
as they also sell equipment for lawn maintenance and
hobby farms. Vander Wal said that focus is relatively
recent.
“One thing that’s become a bigger part of our business
is hobby farms,” he said. “They buy your tractors, your
brush cutters, and so on.”
Vander Wal said tractors and other pieces of farm
machinery are more advanced than ever, which puts a
premium on having experienced technicians to service
and repair them.
“The machines are becoming more technical, more
complicated,” he said. “Your technicians have to be
better-trained, better-qualified.”
For tractors, they specialize in Massey Ferguson
and Challenger products, which Vander Wal said are
extremely dependable.
“They’re a high-quality product, and they’ve got a
good warranty on them,” he said.
They’re not limited to those brands for maintenance
and repairs, though.
“We do everything,” Vander Wal said. “Even the stuff
we don’t sell, we fix it as well.”
Over the years, the business has expanded its reach to
farms well beyond Maple Ridge.
“We work throughout the whole valley, all the way to
Hope,” Vander Wal said.

tony@rock-solid-creations.com There are also many more larger farms now than there
used to be, and those farms have different equipment
needs. For one thing, they need more powerful tractors.
www.rock-solid-creations.com “Bigger farms need bigger stuff,” Vander Wal said.

For Vander Wal and his sons, their work is carrying on
a family legacy.

running with it.”

f Veenesh Dubois could step back
three years, she would likely tell
herself, “All your dreams will
come true.”
But the Coquitlam playwright and
actor would probably rewind her life
to when she was a child living in Fiji
and the moment her father left her,
her mother and her two sisters to
find a better life for himself and his
family in Canada.
Dubois was five years old when her
mom and siblings immigrated a cou-
ple of years later but she was forced
to stay behind in the care of her
grandparents and the community of
sugar mill workers who congregated
under a mango tree.
For years, Dubois could not forgive
her father for abandoning her for four
years, and it’s a story she tells many
times today, especially since she has
written a one-woman play about her
childhood experience, aptly titled Un-
der the Mango Tree.
Much to her surprise, Dubois’ semi-
autobiographical work has taken off
and has won rave reviews.
In 2009, her debut play won the Pick
of the Fringe at the 25th annual Van-
couver Fringe Festival and, last year,
she was invited to perform it in Victo-
ria, Edmonton and Toronto.
Next week, it can be seen in her
hometown, at the Evergreen Cultural
Centre as part of a double bill, and
later this year, on Gabriola Island,
Winnipeg, at the Firehall Theatre in
Vancouver.
Her gravy has come in the form of
television gigs. Last year, Dubois ap-
peared in an episode of Fringe, an
American science fiction series on
Fox; the pilot episode of the yet-to-be-
released Alcatraz; and in commer-
cials for Tim Horton’s, Coast Capital
Savings, Kenco Coffee and Advil.

Maple Ridge’s Madeline Merlo was
among 20 talented young people cho-

Winners were picked from a group
of semi-finalists during live auditions
held at Metropolis at Metrotown on
Saturday, March 26. The group will
perform at various locations through-
out the summer.
“This is a very exciting time for us,”
says Brenda Longland, public relations
manager for Metropolis at Metrotown.
“The talent we’ve seen over the
course of the past few weeks, from the
original video submissions to the live
auditions, has been incredible. We had

acting as producer and performing as Mick Jag-
ger. LeGrand and the cast have been featured
in Rolling Stone, Showbiz Magazine, Las Vegas
Today, CBS Sunday morning news and hun-
dreds of national newspapers, magazines, tele-

LeGrand founded the show in 2001 with the
goal of producing the first touring tribute show
in honor of the “world’s greatest rock and roll
nand.”
In 2005, the production became the first ever
Rolling Stones show to debut on the Las Vegas

The second annual Barry’s Rou-
baix Cycling Race returns to the
dikes of Pitt Meadows this Sunday,
April 10. Hundreds of cyclists are
expected to participate in the B.C.
Cup event, as they tackle the chal-
lenging 10 km course located near
the Pitt Meadows Airport.
The race is modeled after the
grueling Paris-Roubaix, which has
been run every spring since 1896.
Often referred to as “The Hell of the
North,” the race takes cyclists on a
torturous 250 km-plus route from
Paris to the town of Roubaix near
the Belgian border, along treacher-
ous cobblestone roadways in consis-
tently inclement weather. Barry’s
Roubaix will take place on the same
day as the famous French race, sub-
stituting the Pitt Meadows Dike for
the cobblestone roads, while inclem-
ent weather is all but guaranteed.
The event is free for spectators to
enjoy, and is easily accessible for
walkers and cyclists, says organizer
Barry Lyster.
“The easiest way for spectators to
get a front-row view of the race ac-
tion is if they make their way to the
start/finish area at Pitt Meadows
Airport under their own power,”
he said. “They won’t have to worry
about parking, plus they will have
access to the best viewing spots on
the course.”
Lyster is keen to keep the event as
car-free as possible and give Ridge-
Meadows cycling fans a chance to
experience the amazing biking and
recreation opportunities in their
own backyards.
Racing starts at 8:30 a.m. and
will end around 2 p.m. The feature
events included the Category 1/2
women and men’s races, which
feature some of the province’s top
teams, like the Maple Ridge-based
Local Ride/Dr. Vie Superfoods+
Elite Women’s squad. The Category
1/2 men start their 120 km assault
at 11 a.m., while the Category 1/2
women take off on their 100 km at
11:05 a.m.
The U-17 race gets underway at
10:30 a.m.

The Ridge Meadows atom C5 Gi-
ants hockey team beat out 19 other
teams to claim the March Madness
atom hockey tournament in Kelow-
na last week, taking the champion-
ship final by a convincing score of
7-1.
The road to the final was not
without adversity, as the Giants
dropped their first game of the
tournament to Cloverdale. The Gi-
ants fought back, however, earning
themselves the top spot.
Top goal scorers for the team
were Nicholaus Horodyski, An-
drew Fishwick, Quinn Harris and
Tomoslav Stojcic.
Hard work and team play was
contributed by Ryan VanBovan,
Ryan Crockett, and Mythias Cas-
tres. Harrison Ledger and TJ Cun-
ningham aided the offensive lines
with their play, while Elijah Baker,
Aiden Lyons, Joel Lackey and Tea-
gan Carnegie frustrated the oppos-
ing teams on defence.
Stellar goaltending by Jorrin Len-
ton allowed the team to take risks
and focus on their offensive game.
The March Madness victory
topped off a great season for the Gi-
ants, who also earned the atom di-
vision sportsmanship award during
league play.
The Giants also won their divi-
sional playoff banner title earlier in
March, defeating Port Coquitlam.
Head coach Gord Horodyski said
he was proud of the effort and
achievement of the boys. Assistant
coaches included Jay Cunningham
and Andrew Lenton and the team
was supported throughout the
season by team manager Bonnie
Crockett.

For Chris Lane, the co-owner of Maple Ridge’s Experience
Cycling location, it’s crucial to try and supply a wide variety of
cycling needs.
“We’re a full-service bike shop catering to mountain, road,
basically every type of niche out there,” Lane said.
Lane said they do substantial business in both mountain
and road bikes, but they’ve seen particular growth lately in road
bikes and triathlon bikes.
at the Maple Ridge Golf Course “It’s a mix of everything, but I’d certainly say the road and
triathlon stuff is picking up,” he said. “That market is getting
hot.”
Although trends may come and go, Experience Cycling
is in the business for the long haul, which is part of why their
focus is so broad. Their Maple Ridge store opened in 2005, but
the business has been around much longer. It traces its roots
to Williams Sporting Goods, which started focusing on selling
bikes in Duncan in 1947. Maple Ridge resident Will Arnold took
over the Duncan store in 1995, and ten years later, he teamed
up with long-time employee Lane to open a second location in
Maple Ridge. Lane said the Maple Ridge branch proved popular
almost immediately.
“It’s been pretty good since the get-go,” he said. “We were
really happy with the initial response.”
Lane said the similar demographics and atmospheres in
Duncan and Maple Ridge made the second store a natural
move.
“It’s in the same type of store with the same type of clientele,”
he said.
The store focuses on not just selling bikes, but also building
cycling communities. The Maple Ridge location has been
running group cycling sessions for years, and Lane said those
have proved quite popular.
“We have a mountain bike club that’s been going for five or
six years now,” he said. “We probably have about 30 to 40 people
604-465-9221 mapleridgegolfcourse.org on the mountain bike side and about the same on the road.”

The mountain bike club is targeted at kids, but it accepts both
beginning and more advanced riders. The road club is a newer
venture, and it includes everything from long Sunday rides to
women’s-only rides on Wednesday, light-tempo Thursday rides
and Saturday rides where everyone’s welcome. Experience
Cycling has also part ne red with triathlon and coaching services
club Pacific Rim Multisport to develop training programs that
feature several rides a week.
Lane said more and more people are taking up road biking,
and the store’s clubs provide a way for those interested in the
sport to gain experience in a fun, social setting.
“The road bike market is growing in leaps and bounds,” he
said. “More people are getting into it and they need somewhere
to start.”
Experience Cycling offers everything from full-service repairs
to maintenance clinics that teach customers how to deal with
common problems. The store also believes in giving back to the
community, and they’ve seen opportunities to do so through
their support of various charitable cycling rides. One notable
one they’ve been involved with is The Ride To Conquer Cancer,
which saw 2,252 people participate in its B.C. event (a two-day
Vancouver-Seattle ride) and raise $9.2 million for the B.C. Cancer
Foundation last year.
“It’s just an insane amount of people,” Lane said.
They also are involved with the RONA MS Bike Tour, a national
fundraising event for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.
Lane said from sales to maintenance to club activities and
fundraisers, Experience Cycling’s focus is always on trying to
make cycling enthusiasts of all skill levels as comfortable as
possible.
“We’re in no way an elitist club.”

Seniority

Wanderers’ registry helps keep Seniors’ Calendar

track of dementia sufferers
Sadly, the number of
people that will be afflicted
with Alzheimer’s disease
may double over the next 35
years. With this in mind, the
RCMP has formed a part-
nership with the Alzheim-
er’s Society of Canada,
Medic Alert, Block Parents
of Canada and the Canadian
Police Information Centre
(CPIC). These organiza-
tions have worked together
to develop the Alzheimer
wandering registry, called
Safely Home, a way to best
protect loved ones in the
event they go missing.
The registry has been
designed to allow police
anywhere in Canada easy
access to key information,
stored on CPIC, a secure
police database. Potential
wanderers are registered
by their caregiver or guard-
ian with the Alzheimer or-
ganization in their area.
There is a one-time fee
of $35 to the Alzheimer So-
ciety of Canada, who then
provide a medic alert iden-
tification bracelet with the
CPIC registration number,
the person’s name, a con-
tact name and notation to
call police is inscribed on
the back. Additionally, the
bracelet denotes the wearer
of the bracelet has memory
loss. Also included with
the bracelet, is a caregiver
handbook and identification
cards that can be placed in
the registered individuals
pocket or wallet should they
not wish to wear a bracelet.
Safely Home Alzheimer
registry information pack-
ages are available through
the Ridge Meadows RCMP.
For more information or
to locate the Alzheimer
Society office nearest you,
please call 1-800-616-8816.
Money raised for
Alzheimer’s
Maple Ridge and Pitt Mead-
ows residents helped raise
more than $630,000 province-
wide for B.C. families living
with dementia as part of the
Investors Group Walk for
Memories earlier this year,
exceeding last year’s record.
Walks were held in 20 com-
munities around the prov-
ince with participants show-
ing their support in the fight
against Alzheimer’s disease
as part of National Alzheim-
er Awareness Month. The
funds raised support the
work of the Alzheimer Soci-
ety of B.C., helping those im-
pacted by the disease have
the confidence and skills to
maintain quality of life, and
supporting research into the
causes, more effective treat-
ments and a cure.
Currently more than 70,000
British Columbians are liv-
ing with dementia and with
our aging baby boomers a
rising tide of dementia is
projected with alarming
economic and social costs if
nothing is done. Survey find-
ings released this month by
the Alzheimer Society show
that Canadians are not yet
prepared for the rising tide
and more needs to be done
to raise awareness about
the warning signs, provide
education and support, and
research to find the causes
and cure for dementia.

Q: My elderly mom lives in a nursing

Carol Lange
home and I can’t be there all the time. Care Designer
What are some options to make sure she’s ok?
A: When my mom moved into a care home, I had the same concern.
I hired a companion so I know she always has a friend looking out for her
when I’m not there (you can bring in a companion whether your mom lives
in a nursing home, assisted living, her own home, or even during a hospital
stay.) Companions often become a trusted friend. A companion can make her
a cup of tea, play a game, or bring an old hobby back to life through activities,
music, film, or books. They can notify you and the staff of any worrisome
changes in health or behaviour. Your mom’s companion can read with her,
and involve her in games or conversation to keep her mind active. Or they
can assist with walking, getting out for fresh air, or making sure she gets some
exercise. A companion can bring in homemade food, or help prepare a fresh
home-cooked meal. Lastly, whether grocery shopping, dress shopping, or a trip
to the doctor or hairdresser, they can take her out and get her back safely. My
mom’s companion fixes her hair and gets her dressed up on special occasions
at the care home, making mom feel like a queen.
