Four people from Maple Ridge are being investigated for participating in a riot last month following the Stanley Cup fi nal in downtown Vancouver.
So far, 30 men and seven women have turned themselves in to police, who have 50 offi cers from around Metro Vancouver investigating the June 15 rampage that erupted after the Vancou-ver Canucks lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup fi nals to the Boston Bruins.
“There are many challenges in this investigation, not the least of which is the sheer amount of evidence and information that must be painstak-ingly analyzed to ensure a complete and thorough investigation,” said a news release from the Integrated Riot Squad.

The District of Maple Ridge is now on Face-book and Twitter.
After mulling over it for months, staff have fi-nally created a page on the website, hoping to tap into the online phenomena that draws more than 540 million unique visitors per month, or 35.2 percent of the Internet population.
For now, the district has set some modest goals and hopes to achieve 1,000 “likes” by September 2012. So far, 74 people have clicked on.
District staff will be posting a minimum of 10 status updates a week and one photo gallery per month.
“The real key is to reach out to the most en-gaged citizens,” said district director of commu-nications Fred Armstrong.
“Twitter has great potential for use in emer-gency operations.”
Council, though, is worried the social media foray will saddle time-crunched staff with an-other seemingly unnecessary task.
“I see this becoming a real full-time position,” said coun. Judy Dueck, who was concerned that the Facebook page could be monopolized by people who will be seeking council seats in the upcoming civic election.
“It’s really important that the municipality stay unbiased and neutral,” she added.
The district intends to use the medium to alert residents to events and information about mu-nicipal services from property taxes to public hearings.
Craig Speirs, one of the six councillors who has a fairly active online presence, welcomed the venture.
“You’ve got to remember this is all about com-munication,” he said.
“It’s interactive.”Coun. Al Hogarth hoped the district’s Face-
book and Twitter presence doesn’t mean they’ll be shifting virtual service.
“There’s nothing like a real person,” he said.

CHEAP AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR
Every once and awhile we lose a customer due to price which is one of the most frustrating parts of my job. Frustrating because I know that good, certifi ed automotive repair is not cheap. It has never been cheap and will never be cheap. So when I stood on the other side of my counter that day and tried to explain this to my long term and now former customer, I could see from the look in his eyes he wasn’t listening. His mind was made up and no amount of explanation was going to change it. Price ruled for him and that was the end of the story.
If you’re a shopper by nature always looking for the best price, then that would make you a smart consumer of goods. In the world of service, like automotive repair, the formula for the best deal is far more complicated than simply phoning around for the best price. In fact just the opposite is true in auto service. The best price is more often than not, attached to the least qualifi ed personnel coupled with the lowest quality parts. Sure, this is great in the short term as on the surface it is substantially cheaper, but how will it play out in the long run with those cheaper parts installed by personnel of suspect training and experience.
Let me put it another way: when you board a plane to fl y off to wherever you're going, would you prefer a pilot that just graduated from fl ight school with no seat time, or a pilot that has fl own to your destination a few times? It’s your choice to make, why is auto repair any different? Correct me if I’m wrong but do you not spend more time driving than fl ying? So why would you settle for less when it comes to your vehicle’s maintenance and repairs?
With regards to our lost customer, he will probably be back. Most return once they realize just how good they had it. It’s tough to accept a lower level of service when you’ve experienced a high level of competent, consistent, professional quality service. The advantages of quality service become glaringly obvious when the shortcomings of economy service rear their ugly head and bite you once or twice.
As an automotive repair customer your priorities should be the qualifi cations of both the individual and shop working on your vehicle. Like all professions, automotive service facilities are not all created equal. There are many levels of professionalism and you need to insure that your service provider is qualifi ed for the repairs you require. Beware that the old adage ‘you get what you pay for’ is very prevalent in this industry.
In closing, I would challenge you to concentrate not on the buck but rather on your ‘bang for the buck’ ie; the level and ability of your service provider. If you maintain your vehicle, it will automatically save you money, time and stress.

You may be surprised to
learn that medical care outside
of B.C. can be very expensive -
especially in the United States.
For example, the average
cost of emergency in-patient
hospital care in the United
States often exceeds $1,000
USD per day, and can even be
as high as $10,000 USD per day
for intensive care. And since
Health Insurance BC (formerly
MSP) may cover
as little as 10 per
cent of the medical
expenses you
could face when
travelling outside
B.C., the Ministry
of Health Services
strongly advises
buying additional
medical insurance
even if you only
plan to leave the
country for one day.
Many B.C. residents already
have limited travel insurance
coverage through their credit
card or employer extended
benefits program. However, this
coverage often doesn’t have a
high enough dollar limit or cover
you for the number of days per
trip you require.
Know before you go.
Reviewing your travel
insurance is increasingly
important as some countries
are now monitoring travellers’
coverage prior to crossing
their borders. In fact, it was
recently announced that several
European countries are advising
travellers to be prepared to
show proof of medical coverage
and may also impose a minimum
coverage requirement.
It’s wise to check the Foreign
Affairs and International Trade
Canada website at www.voyage.
gc.ca. Select your destination
and the Entry/Exit Requirements
section will provide you with the
travel insurance requirements.
If you have confirmed coverage
through your credit card or
extended benefits program,
be sure to obtain the proper
documentation to meet the entry
requirements of
your destination(s).
Travel with
peace-of-mind.
If you find
that your current
coverage is
i n a d e q u a t e
to completely
protect you from
the financial
devastation an
accident or injury could cause,
investigate additional coverage
like emergency excess medical
insurance, to be protected and
enjoy peace- of-mind during your
travels. Remember to purchase
your coverage before leaving
B.C. Coverage is available
through private insurers, such
as BCAA, who offer at least
five million dollars in emergency
medical coverage. Always carry
your declaration page with you
when travelling as proof of your
insurance coverage.
For more information about
travel insurance talk to your
local BCAA Insurance Agent

A resident who fol-lowed one of the trucks claims he saw it haul fi ll off a government-funded social housing project on Brown Avenue.
The fi lling has been permitted by the Agricul-tural Land Commission, without a permit process, because it is considered a “farm use.”
Cho said he’s building a road to access another part of his farm, a project he estimates could take at least a year.
The fi ll now rises sev-eral hands above 224th St. and extends into the tree line to the banks of the North Alouette.
His neighbours call it “soil farming.”
“There are so many things wrong with this activity, from dumping material of an unknown quality near a salmon bearing river, to destroy-ing good farmland, and endangering the sur-rounding properties dur-ing a fl ood by redirecting water,” said Dian Mur-rell, a neighbour and member of the Alouette Valley Association.
It has worked tirelessly to curb fl ooding in the valley. The association has an alert system that sounds a warning when waters rise, gauges that monitor the river level and volunteers who dis-lodge log jams.
They waited three years for the District of Maple Ridge to complete
a hydrology study of the Alouette rivers fl ood plain.
The document, fi nally released last month, found that “raising or infi lling of land” on the fl ood plain displaces water and relocates the fl ooding problem to oth-er properties.
It recommended the district consider a strat-egy for fl ood manage-ment that ensures “new or upgraded fl ood pro-tection structures do not adversely increase the overall fl ood hazard.”
The Alouette Valley Association has lobbied district council, MLA Mi-chael Sather, MP Randy Kamp, written letters to the Agricultural Land Commission and prov-ince, to no avail.
The district issued a stop-work order against Cho in 2006, but hasn’t is-sued one since.
The “berm,” or wall, neighbours blame for diverting water was or-dered removed in No-vember 2006, but rebuilt in early 2007 and still stands.
The District of Maple Ridge, however, assures the neighbours it is keep-ing a close eye on Cho.
He applied for a soil deposit permit from the district in 2009, but staff are still waiting on a hy-drology report. In the meantime, he’s being allowed to dump fi ll on his property for a road, with the blessing of the
Agricultural Land Com-mission.
The property the soil’s being loaded on is up for sale for $1.1 million and being advertised online as a site in the Agricul-tural Land Reserve that has “the potential for a development.”
The website states there is no sign on the property, “by seller re-quest.”
“Mr. Cho is a bonafi de farmer in the commu-nity and is operating under the guidelines of the Agricultural Lands Commission and has been doing so the whole time,” said Maple Ridge’s director of planning Jane Pickering.
But even if the land commission approved the use, local govern-ment bylaws still apply.
Although neighbours allege the fi ll on Cho’s property has encroached into the 30 -metre setback required under Maple Ridge’s “water course protection” bylaw, the district’s been told by the Agricultural Land Com-mission he is operating within guidelines.
“If he operates within the regulations of the land commission, he doesn’t need [a permit] from us,” said Pickering.
“We are trying to work a bit in the middle with the land commission and the neighbours, but we have to respect what the land commission tells us. He is doing what he said
he is going to do and if he has stepped outside of that, we talk to him and he rectifi es it. I think the neighbourhood probably doesn’t see it that way.”
Bruce Hobbs, another neighbour, believes that in Cho’s situation, the land commission guide-lines are “absolutely re-dundant.”
“The fact of the matter is – if you are going to put that much soil onto
a property that’s next to a river, you need to do a hydrology study,” he said.
“It’s absurd.”Councillors, including
the mayor, have visited the site as the neigh-bours continue to call for action.
“To the untrained eye, it does seem like there’s a lot of fi ll going in there,” said Mayor Ernie Daykin.

Letters to the editor should be exclusive to The News and address topics of interest to residents of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. Include full name and address, as well as daytime phone number for verification. Keep letters to 500 words or less. Letters may be edited for length and clarity.
It is quite clear when tak-ing the oath for Pitt Mead-ows council that those elected must disclose any confl icts of interest.
It is up to individuals to be forthright and disclose any direct or indirect pecuniary interests.
Now that the issue has been clarifi ed about con-tracts, what fool would re-peat the recent insurance
contract?This issue can be made
doubly clear with new coun-cillors during the profes-sional development they receive. No need for any ‘cleaning house,’ as the fi nance department has checked and found no such issues with Coun. John Becker.
Those who have an-nounced or are thinking about running for council or school board should be able to take all the information into account before putting
their names forward for any position.
Think about the time commitment –it’s much more than a few meetings a month, and they are diffi -cult to attend if you are not self-employed as many take place during the day.
I wonder again, however, at Coun. Becker’s descrip-tion of “Alice In Wonderland world of local politics.”
Zip the lip. You not doing yourself any favours.
Why Coun. Becker chosen to run for mayor when it is
obvious he disdains local politics. Federal or provin-cial level would obviously be a better fi t. I guess the time just isn’t right.
What character will Coun. Becker play in Alice in Won-derland’? Will it be the Mad Hatter? Perhaps the March Hare? Or the smug Cheshire Cat?
No intentions on my part to seek any political posi-tions– people watching is more fun.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Christy Clark’s Liberals
must love provincial Con-servative leader John Cum-mins.
When he speaks, he sounds more than a bit goofy to anyone listening.
Until he opened his mouth, observers were ac-tually considering him and his band of merry oldsters a serious threat to Ms. Clark’s Liberals by splitting the
right-of center vote. That was then, this is
now.Yesterday’s man has loud-
ly proclaimed that Lower Mainland municipalities could easily offset the need for a two-cents-per-litre gas tax to fund the Evergreen transit line to Coquitlam by cutting back their own bud-gets.
That approach deserves about as much serious con-
sideration as breaking open your kiddy’s piggybank to pay for the much-needed rapid transit line.
Cummins’ approach com-pletely overlooks the main objection to funding propos-als that will see outlying municipalities paying huge sums for a system that pro-vides them with little or no benefi t.
Undoubtedly, portions of the capital required to con-
struct the long overdue line will be paid by people who will not benefi t directly, but to require the entire cost to be spread evenly over all Lower Mainland municipali-ties is unacceptable and to-tally unfair.
Cummins has, by his own hand, set back the cause of provincial Conservatism an-other decade.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: Gas tax could go up 2¢ a litre (The News, July 8).After taking a drive on Sunday, around Mission, and
running a little low on gas, I stopped to fi ll up.Here is my problem: the price of gas in Mission was
$1.117.9 a litre.The price in Maple Ridge was $1.34.3 a litre.With our Metro Vancouver mayors and TransLink
wanted another $.02 a litre in gas tax for the much talked about Evergreen Line, this would make a 16.4-cent differ-ence now and 18.4 cents in the fall in the price of gas be-tween Mission and Maple Ridge.
My thoughts, as a senior citizen, are that I will never ride the Evergreen Line, and that my own money is get-ting harder to manage because so many people are after it.
No question, I will be going to Mission for gas every week or so unless TransLink can fi gure out how to tall the bridge to Silverdale, as well.
Not a money treeFrom: cb, posted on mapleridgenews.com.Re: Council to vote on raises (The News, July 20).Where do we draw the line? Does the salary keep going up continuously in relation to other jurisdictions? Where does it end? My observation is most people who go into politics love it and the attending perks. They shouldn’t ex-pect a prime minister’s salary for being a council member or mayor of Maple Ridge. The taxpayers who pay the salaries don’t have an unlimited source of cash to draw on for salary increases to themselves. I’d like to vote myself a raise. The mayor just received an increase not that long ago. It’s unbelievable with the world economy on the brink, the U.S. almost going down the tube, our property taxes going up $200-$300 every year that government salaries just keep going up. In a business, the highest expense is salaries, but some believe government is a money tree funded by taxpayers.
Not a lotFrom: Aaron Davis, posted on mapleridgenews.com.Re: Council to vote on raises (The News, July 20).Compensating those who serve and sacrifice to take on the job of managing our municipality deserve to be compensated fairly. The notion the increments being considered are exorbitant is simply not realistic; $45,000 yearly is not a lot of money, especially if the obligations of your elected position make it difficult to fulfill the obligations of your career. If we expect people to step up to the plate to better reflect our municipality, then we have an obligation to make the compensation nondiscriminatory towards citizens who run for office, without having made enough money as a business person or executive to afford lower compensation. Throwing your name in the ring for elected municipal service should be open and possible for any taxpaying local citizens who have the courage to take on the job. I agree with our mayor.
Why need more?From: Claus Andrup, posted on mapleridgenews.com.Re: Council to vote on raises (The News, July 20).I don’t want to dwell on the subject, but, first of all, it should be an hon-our to serve. Second, I understand that council members are expected to work between 20-30 hours per week (just as in the real world – the private sector – some will work way longer than 30 hours and some way less). If an average salaried person earns $50,000 for a 40-hour week, then $37,000 is, more or less, fair for a 30-hour week. Why would anyone on council need more than $37,000? It is commonly known that some of them have other forms of income.
EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: What’s wrong with teenagers to-
day? (Letters, July 20).I can relate to this same mind set.Just the other night I was walking
down Harris Road behind a teenaged male and his girlfriend. It was a scene that was nearly comical.
They were strolling along, shuffl ing, really, barely able to lift their feet off the ground, holding hands and chatting pleasantly to each other: “That [cen-sored] at [censored] the store wouldn’t sell me my [censored] smokes cuz she [censored] IDed me so I had to snag a [censored] Old Port from [censored] ...”
My guess was the Old Port cigar wasn’t going down well since the teen-aged make didn’t seem to have the ability to take 10 shuffl es without spit-ting (actually spitting sounds too en-ergetic, he’d more tilt his head a little and drooled gob all over the sidewalk)
I would have found that whole im-age rather humourous in the fact they seemed oblivious to how ridiculous they were portraying themselves, but I found myself catching up to them fair-ly quickly; it wasn’t so much the bar-rage of F-bombs that disgusted me as it was that I was in fl ip-fl ops, walking
through his minefi eld of gob. He didn’t even possess the common
sense to spit on the grass that was two feet away.
I couldn’t help but think some teens lack a certain self-awareness and even a basic awareness of their surround-ings.
What a sad pair.Then, the next morning, I went to
my local grocer and watched an adult mother with a stroller exit the store.
I assume she didn’t like her Slurpee, given she spit on the sidewalk right outside the main doors, for all of us to walk though, on her way to her car, which was parked in front of one of the yellow painted sidewalk ramps.
Fact is, ignorance comes in all shapes, sexes and ages.
We’re all aware there are some pretty fi ne young adults out there, but this just reaffi rms that cluelessness abounds.
Problem is, how does one talk sense into someone who isn’t a thinker? That, not age is what is wrong with some people today.

Wasted potentialEDITOR, THE NEWS:
Re: What’s wrong with teenagers to-day? (Letters, July 20).
Regarding the recent sidewalk inci-dent in Pitt Meadows, I would like to say my heart goes out to Janet Veillet for the disgusting way she was treated by some kid with an undeveloped ego.
Maybe she looked like a rival gang member, or maybe she just looked like someone that this boy thought he could intimidate, and temporarily infl ate his weak ego.
Whatever the reason, I feel sorry for the both of them.
For Ms. Veillet for having to be sub-jected to the symptoms of a boy who may have drive, but no direction.
And I feel sorry for the boy and the rest of society if he is left to fi gure it out himself.
There is no telling how much poten-tial will be wasted, and that may not be the only crime.
Someone mentor that boy before we gain another loser.
Rest of us are people tooFrom: Elizabeth Rosenau, posted on mapleridgenews.com.Re: What’s wrong with teenagers today? (Letters, July 20).I try to make eye contact and say hello to young people (when it’s appropriate) and I’ve managed to get a lot of smiles along the way. Teenagers are naturally self-centered and they may tend to forget that the rest of us are real people, too. I also think teenagers, in a group, often try to impress each other with their bravado. I’m sorry this happened, but I would try not to let it colour your opinion of all teenagers too much.If these kids are still like this as adults, we have a bigger problem for sure.

the Internet for six af-fordable tickets to Katy Perry’s sold-out Van-couver show, California
Dreams. Once they found them,
they worked at various minimum-wage, part-time jobs, from King’s Kitchen to Fitness Un-
limited, to pay for them – $480 total.
For two months they saved.
The long-anticipated day arrived Tuesday. Pesut, Taryn Whyte, Erica Smith, Emilie Nunez, Jenna David-son and Robin Good-man were going to see Perry for the fi rst time at Rogers Arena, mak-ing the hour and a half commute into the city from Maple Ridge.
The day was spent in a fashion typical for girls 16 and 17 years old, preparing to see one of their pop idols. They rampaged through the mall searching for the perfect “Katy” outfi t.
They did their hair, then they did their make up. They even rented a pink limou-sine.
The girls sent them-selves off with an im-promptu photo shoot in front of the limo. They struck poses in bright pink and fl oral skirts, their hair falling straight on their backs. When the time came to leave, they piled into the limo in their four-inch heels. As Perry blasted from the speak-ers – “You, make, me, feel, like I’m living a, teen-age, dream,” the
girls sang right along with her.
They had no idea what was in store for them.
“I’ve loved Katy Perry since I Kissed a Girl,” said Whyte, 16, bright-eyed and fast talking, referring to Perry’s fi rst single from 2008.
The scene at the arena only added to their en-ergy. Tens of thousands of Perry fans, equally wired, surrounded the arena on the sunny evening. Some were decked out more than others, with fl uorescent wigs on their heads and glow sticks around their necks. They min-gled, talking about how they’ve loved Perry since Day 1, basking in
the shared excitement.“We just kept ram-
bling on about the show and our excitement,” says Pesut, pulling her brown hair back behind her shoulders.
At 7 p.m., the six girls made their way up the staircase, through the baggage check, and handed the tickets over to be scanned.
No beep. The scanner refused
to recognize the tickets.“We were devastat-
ed,” says Pesut, wide-eyed. “I couldn’t believe it. We were disgusted.”
Back in April, one of the girls, Erica Smith, 17, emailed a Kyle Smith through Craigslist. Kyle Smith wanted to sell
his tickets quickly be-cause he could no lon-ger make it to the con-cert. For $80 a ticket, his were signifi cantly cheaper than other tickets sold online. So off they went, alone, to meet the ticket seller in Langley.
“It seemed a little to good to be true,” Pesut said, in hindsight.
“But he just seemed so harmless and trustwor-thy,” added Erica, who texted her mother from Rogers Arena: “The tick-ets are fake. I’m bawling right now.”
Security directed them to Box Offi ce 11, which deals with complaints and concerns.

Forty children, five to 14 years old, waited on the
steps of the Arts Cen-tre Theatre in down-town Maple Ridge Wednesday morning, stomping their feet, clapping their hands and snapping their fingers in an effort to hold off the rain.
They had gathered to watch the Air 1 police helicopter land in front of the centre.
But the chopper was delayed and the dark clouds were beginning to leak.
“They’ve been really excited about this,” said Jen Baillie, youth services children’s programmer at the youth centre.
Baillie organized the event: kids from three local day camps embarked on an emer-gency services scaven-ger hunt in the morn-ing, taking a break to watch the landing.
The purpose of the
hunt was to foster a sense of community, letting the campers positively interact with RCMP offi cers.
“We want to try and create positive con-tacts with the kids so they know who we are,
what we do, and that we’re here to help,” said Cnst. Oliver Bro-ermann, a youth re-source offi cer.
The children em-barked on the two-hour hunt, climbing into vehicles such as a
fi re truck, a police car, and a tactical assault vehicle, while search-ing for clues. RCMP offi cers also handed out yellow badges with their names on them.
“We want to start this community feel early and let them form a different relationship with the offi cers,” said Andrew Senay, one of the camp leaders.
Offi cers and campers played games while they waited for the he-licopter. But then an awe-inspired silence fell over the group as the fi rst rumblings of the helicopter were heard.
“There it is,” said Kyla Inkster, 3. “Wow.”
The propellers turned off. Pilot Roger Thomson and offi cer Sean Hackman exited the aircraft. After a brief pause, the chil-dren rushed forward for a better look.
Cpl. Alanna Dunlop and offi cer Steve Ter-rillion helped Baillie organize the event, bringing in the vehi-cles. After the appear-ance of the helicopter, the kids carried on with their scavenger hunt.

A Maple Ridge busi-ness man is suing a competitor who is using three phone numbers previously assigned to his heating and air con-ditioning business for 12 years.
Jeff Coleman has been in business as Coleman Heating and Air Condi-tioning since 1998 and maintained more than 27,000 customers.
But when business dropped during the re-cession, he went into receivership and didn’t pay his phone bill for two months, causing his phone and fax line to be disconnected in March.
Coleman was told by Telus it would hold his phone numbers for up to two years.
But when he tried to reactivate the numbers less than a month later, Coleman found out they were no longer avail-
able.He then discovered
they were being used by a competitor with a similar name – Coolman Heating.
“He specifi cally asked for the three phone numbers,” said Cole-man.
In the $100,000 lawsuit, Coleman claims Brad Galagan of Coolman Heating has turned down three attempts by him to discuss the mat-ter.
The phone numbers have since been moved to another company.
He says Galagan is currently benefi ting from advertising in the Yellow Pages, on stick-ers, billboards and the warranty certifi cates for more than 12,792 customers.
“That’s why I’m su-ing him for $100,000 so far and the bill climbs every single day,” said Coleman.
“I have probably spent about $3 million in the
last decade and this person is reaping the benefi ts.”
Although Coolman
Heating answered both phone numbers, they refused a request for comment.

Someone re-cently dropped me an e-mail,
expressing a little disappointment that I had broached the topic of youth anger in my reference to the Vancouver Riots, but had not explored that concept further.
Since I have spent the last couple of weeks in the company of people in their 80s, and seen a similar brewing anger, per-haps I can address the concept for both youth and the elderly.
I suppose there are many forms of anger, but the most danger-ous is simply pent-up frustration.
When anyone, at any age, feels they have lost the ability to control the quality of their life, they simmer with anger.
I have heard it in youth who are frus-trated with the debt racked up in getting an education and the subsequent lack of employment opportu-nities and high cost of living.
And now I am hear-ing it from the elderly who, feeling their health slip away, fi nd access to doctors chal-lenging and medical resources stretched and rushed.
As an educational administrator, I spent a lot of time coun-seling angry young people to try and help them understand that, regardless of the challenges they faced, there were things they
could control and they should develop both the determination and work ethic to over-come the obstacles they face.
The current eco-nomic situation has re-moved the notion of a sure job, both for those already employed and those seeking it.
Still, there are jobs to be had and jobs to be made, and while instant entry into the middle class may not occur, a little time paying some dues (and debt) can build char-acter while building equity.
Now, as an elder-care supporter, I am coun-seling my own parents and their friends on the operation of the health care system and how they can best access resources both to support themselves and each other.
There is no question that the health system is already stretched – they have almost all spent time in a hall-way in an overcrowded hospital at some point – but there are also resources available outside the traditional
family doctor route that can provide both knowledge and sup-port for them.
Numerous home-care alternatives, both private and public, are accessible.
Many pri-vate organi-zations can help in things like eyesight and hearing, critical senses necessary for independence.
As well, there are many new assistive devices that provide support at home, everything from computerized home management systems to raised toilet seats and safety bars.
So often, these devic-es are installed after an accident and the need for medical interven-tion, rather than before so as to avoid as much medical intervention as necessary.
Home builders would be wise, in my opinion, to consider a shift from the megahomes we drifted towards in the last 20 years to smaller, low-mainte-nance homes that are appropriately outfi tted with safety mecha-nisms for the elderly.
Adults who are in the process of con-sidering how to help their parents remain independent need to analyze their home and take some proac-tive actions in ensur-ing the homes are safe.
Simple changes, particularly to the bathrooms, kitchens
and fl oor surfaces, can dramatically reduce the risk of an accident that will open up a whole new level of potentially frustrating issues.
I am in the perfect ‘sandwich counseling’ situation. I
have three well edu-cated sons looking for meaningful work and I have two aging parents for whom I am trying to maintain as much inde-pendence as possible.
I’m encouraging the boys to put their intellect to work in thinking of things that could help their grand-parents because if it helps them, it might help many and could be a great business opportunity.
I am encouraging my parents to consider renovations to their home, for which they might have to hire some local young con-tractors.
Perhaps, in the grand scheme of things, the needs of both of those genera-tions might just help alleviate some of the frustration, and anger, of each.

In the heat of summer (should we
be so lucky), we normally would be looking to add a little extra punch to our gardens, and there is one fam-ily of plants that has so much to offer but really doesn’t get the attention it deserves.
Canna lilies have been around for a long time, but with interesting new foliage colours and blossoms, they’re experiencing a huge resurgence.
Canna leaves that resemble those of bananas and fl owers that look like ginger lilies add a refreshing tropical touch to any container or garden bed. The problem is we don’t use enough of them.
I love cannas for their incredibly easy care. They not only thrive in the heat of summer but also, like dahl-ias, will carry your garden well into November.
From a single tuberous root, they will develop into huge clumps, making a magnifi cent display.
They also come in low (18 inches or 45 cm), medium (three feet or 90 cm) and tall (six feet or 180 cm) sizes.
Cannas can be used as foreground plantings or as giant background specimens.
Cannas add drama. Their striking leaf colours and variegations create an opportunity for some fabulous combinations.
There are dozens of canna varieties, but there are a few I’m really excited about. Black is still where it’s at, and there are a number of dark foliaged varieties. The master of black, how-ever, is ‘Australia.’ This rather slen-der and elegant grower has almost black leaves with brilliant orange-red fl owers. It’s defi nitely a ‘wow’ plant in my book.
There’s one variety that I’ve had my eye on for some time now, and it’s called ‘Constitution.’ Its immense peach-coloured fl owers open above rich light grey-pink veined foliage. It’s
a class act and would be quite at home surrounded by dwarf echinacea.
Perhaps the most stunning of all cannas are the yellow and green va-rieties which, by the way, are all very similar. Striped ‘Bengal Tiger,’ with its rich orange fl owers, was one of the very fi rst of the intense yellow and green striped varieties.
‘Pretoria’ looks almost identical with melon orange blooms and leaves similar to ‘Bengal Tiger,’ but with a tiny red margin on the outside of its leaves.
One of the newest introductions is a very classy white fl owered variety with green foliage called ‘Ermine.’
The most popular of all the striped varieties is ‘Tropicana.’ It has intense green, orange- and red-striped foliage that changes intensity with the tem-perature and maturity of the leaves. Its orange fl owers are a true compli-ment to its leaf colour. It’s just a great plant.
Sometimes we simply get caught up in the foliage colours of can-nas and overlook their exquisite blossoms. Some, in particular, are breathtaking.
‘Cleopatra’, with its most unusual red and yellow patterns, is one of the most sought after fl owering forms.
Today there are a whole series of designer colours such as peach, apricot and pink shaded varieties that blend in with our current colour schemes.
Remember: cannas are well suited to both container and garden bed planting. They add both depth and vibrancy to any garden, but most of all, they can instantly add a magical touch of the tropics.

“Love means never having to say you’re
sorry” is one of the most parodied movie lines in cinematic history, and for good reason. It is so bla-tantly wrong.
Real love requires an unending sup-ply of apologies and forgiveness. We are human and we will make many mistakes in our relationships. However, if we are secure in who we are and already assured that God loves us no matter what, a lot of hurt feelings can be avoided.
God’s love “is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs” (1 Cor. 13:5).
Another version says that “love hardly even notices when others do it wrong.”
Now that’s the best way to avoid misun-derstandings, con-frontation, damaged feelings, and the need for forgiveness.
I learned a long time ago, especially in my work as a col-lege president and pastor, just to believe in the best in people. If they say something or do something that may be personally of-fensive, I quickly tell
myself that’s not what they meant. My wife calls me the “boy in the bubble” (I don’t think she means it as a compli-ment, but I take it that way), and so far no one has been able to burst that bubble.
The key is to forgive people even before they ask for it.
Lewis Smedes, author of Forgive and Forget, said that to forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the pris-oner was you.
We try to use unfor-giveness as a weapon to hurt others, but like a knife without a handle, it only hurts the one who holds on to it.
A more difficult challenge for me, as the insensitive bubble boy, is to not offend others.
From the Bible: Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others (Phil. 2:4).
When you are constantly thinking about others and car-
ing about how they feel, you are unlikely to hurt their feelings.
If you do, then love demands an apology – who is right or wrong is not the issue.
It’s one of the most powerful principles we can teach our children, and the best way to teach it is to provide an
example for them to follow.
Have you ever made a mistake with your children and asked for their forgiveness?
This is not a sign of weakness, but of great inner strength.
Asking for and ex-tending forgiveness is not easy.
Smedes goes on to say: Forgiving is love’s toughest work, and love’s biggest risk …
Forgiving seems almost unnatural.
Our sense of fair-ness tells us people should pay for the wrong they do.
But forgiving is love’s power to break nature’s rule.
Rob Buzza is lead pastor at NorthRidge
Church.
Love means saying sorry, a lot

The Me-to-We team at Kanaka Creek el-ementary has been working hard to help make dreams come true for sick children.
The Me-to-We team of Grade 7 students at the school raised $3,015.91 for the Make a Wish foundation thanks to all the students from Kanaka Creek who donated their spare change to fi ll the star piggy banks.
Me-to-We is a world-wide, non-profi t or-ganization that helps children in need and was founded by Craig and Mark Kielburger.
The Make a Wish foundation helps ter-minally ill children with medical condi-tions to fulfi ll their “wishes.”
For example, some children wish to go on their dream vacation, meet their hero, and to receive special gifts they wanted for a long time.
Make a Wish also helps cover necessary medical treatments.
“This team, thanks all the students, teach-ers, parents and staff from Kanaka who sup-ported us to help make some wishes come true,” said Julia Cous-tol, a support teacher at Kanaka Creek.
Members of the Me-to-We team: Alex Bzowski, Jesse Bod-nar, Ben Carr, Katelyn Cavaliero, Carly Craft, Mikaila Elder, Ash-leigh Gemmell, Jason Kim, Chase Pederson, Hayley Schmidt, Erin Shugg, Puneet Sidhu and Sabrina Wu.

Training to improve and maintain speedIn virtually all sports, a major com-
ponent of success is the ability to accelerate and then to maintain
speed. But training to improve all aspects
of speed is not just a simple matter of simply trying running fast. There are a number of components of speed that can be trained differently, and there
are some pointers to keep in mind that will help with technique.
Starting speed is the ability to go from a stationary state to begin to be in motion. It is a crucial component of sports and is sometimes called fi rst-step quickness. In competitive, team sports the fi rst step can mean getting a lead on a defender or stopping an
offensive player, so it is not surprising that this component is so crucial. This element of sport is improved primar-ily by training the nervous system with reaction drills that last less than a second.
Acceleration is the ability to attain maximal speed in the shortest period of time. Improving the athlete’s stride
length and stride frequency are the targets of this phase of training. Stride length is the amount of dis-tance the athlete can cover with one full stride, and the stride frequency the speed with which the athlete can move their legs with one stride. These drills may last for only a few seconds.

Maple Ridge’s Sandra Tur-bide took home the Pacifi c Northwest Golf Association’s Women’s Mid-Amateur Cham-pionship at the Port Ludlow Golf Club in Port Ludlow, Washington last weekend.
Turbide is a teacher at Laity View Elementary School and a member at Swan-E-Set Bay Resort.
Turbide beat out 2005 and 2007 Women’s Mid-Am Cham-pion Kareen Markle of Merid-ian, Idaho 2-1 in the match play format tournament, winning the event for the second year in a row. Turbide birdied the fi rst hole to quickly go one-up, and started to put the pres-sure on by building a three-stroke lead through seven holes. Markle fought her way back into the match over the next seven holes to square the match through 14 holes. Turbide quickly regained the lead on the 15th and a way-ward shot by Markle into the lateral hazard on 16 would put Turbide ahead. With a routine par on the downhill par-three, Turbide captured her second consecutive PNGA Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship.
Turbide is competing this week at the Canadian Ama-teur Championship in Duncan, where she held a two-stroke lead Thursday afternoon in the Mid-Master division (40 years and over) over Shelly Stouffer of Nanoose Bay. Tur-bide shot an eight-over 80 on the day and sits at 14-over for the tournament.

Maple Ridge’s Brian Malfesi is headed to the Ju-nior World Championships in Brandenburg, Ger-many this month after qualifying for the national junior team.
Malfesi has been paddling at the Ridge Canoe and Kayak Club at Whonnock Lake for seven years. He started paddling after his older brother, Mike, took up the sport. In his second year racing, Malfesi missed out on qualifying for the Western Canada Games team by one place.
Malfesi won the K1 1,000-metre event at last year’s junior national championships in Regina.
Malfesi is headed to Simon Fraser University in September to study biomedical engineering hav-
ing won a boat-load of scholarships, including: The SFU Gordon Shrum Major Entrance; Mission Principals; Maple Ridge Trustees; Dogwood Pro-vincial; Jack Fairly B.C. Sports Hall of Fame; and the Miller Thompson Foundation National Award Provincial Academic Scholarship.
Malfesi says he plans to continue paddling and hopes to make the U-23 national team, go to the senior world championships and maybe one day, race at the Olympics.
The world junior championships take place July 29-31.

Sports
Flexibility and reaction time key to developing speed
Speed endurance is the ability to sustain peak speed for as long as possible without becoming fatigued.
It is influenced by the three major energy systems in the muscles, but primar-ily the anaerobic and aerobic systems since the athlete may be called on to sustain top speed for more than a minute or two.
Speed efficiency has more to do with technique than a time frame or specific energy system.
It is important because a flex-ible athlete will have better efficiency of movement because the body will be able to move through the optimal range of mo-tion with the highest efficiency (getting more while costing less energy to move). Flexibility and coor-dination also allows an athlete to utilize the optimal movement patterns that will lead to increased stride length.
The example of a football player is list-
ed below to illustrate the hints to improving sprint technique.
The Arm Swing: Start in a two-point stance with hands relaxed, fingers curled in, and thumb on top.
It is important to drive maximally with the first two steps as they are the most significant for getting into gaps and avoiding tackles and blocks. The drive should also be felt in his arms. The player drives back with the elbows (hammering down), ensuring that they do not flare outward or that his hands do not cross his body at anytime while run-ning in a straight line. This will help keep him moving forward instead of side to side. However, when chang-ing directions, his arms should cross the body to assist in the lateral movement.
Body Position: The head is up and eyes are focused toward the end of the field. The head is also in line with the spine in a neutral position, held high and square.
His stomach is braced which will provide a solid anchor for the legs and foster a forward leg drive and extended stride.
Leg Drive: The legs should be in full leg extension with the rear leg pushing off the field followed by driving the leg forward with a high knee action and a quick foot strike to the ground, which can be best described as “clawing” the ground. The quick and forceful ground contact will propel the foot back up.
This is all done in conjunction with the arm swing/hammer down to assist drive forward. When sprint-ing, he should land on the “ball” of his foot at all times with his feet pointing forward straight down the lane.

science degree in kinesiology and is
