MARKET DAYS SILLY SOAP

Mitch Thompson/TIMES

Emma Roberts-Ruttan, 3, examines the various strange and exciting soaps of Samantha’s Silly Soaps at the Haney Farmers Market last Saturday. The marketwill officially open on May 8. See story on Page 5.

Maple Ridge could be home to anew family-friendly aerial adven-ture course, including zip lines,walkways and bridges suspendedbetween trees in Maple Ridge Parkif council approves the idea.

WildPlay Element Parks, whichalready operates in Nanaimo, Whis-tler and Victoria, wants to start anaerial adventure course this sum-mer.

Maple Ridge council will vote onthe proposal at tonight’s meeting.

WildPlay would design, constructand manage two aerial adventurecourses. The company estimates itwould spend $760,000 to build theproject and would have 21,000 cli-ents by the end of its third year. Thedistrict would shut down MapleRidge campground if the proposalgoes ahead.

David Boag, director of parks andfacilities at the District of MapleRidge, told council local residentsare concerned about traffic andparking if the facility is built becauseboth are already a challenge. Peoplealso expressed concern about theenvironmental impact of the site.

WildPlay is hoping to open thebusiness by mid-June and wouldneed four to six weeks to build thecourses.

Boag said the operation wouldboost local tourism and its loca-tion just before the heavily usedGolden Ears Provincial Park wouldhelp ensure its success.

A tree inventory survey hasalready been done and the treesthat would be used are ideal andsound, said Boag. Boag addedthat the company would have a“licence to occupy” not a lease sothe district would maintain fullcontrol of the land the operationwas situated on.

Zip-line,tightropesproposedto replacecampsite

WildPlay has told the district itwould offer free tickets to parksand leisure services that could bedistributed.

Councillor Craig Speirs said he’s“completely intrigued” by the ideaand it would take an “underpro-ductive asset,” the campground,and bring in a profit for the district.He said the proposal is a way ofcreating economic developmentby maximizing the beauty of themunicipality and he said he hopesit would attract other similar busi-nesses.

Speirs said there’s a growingdemand for family recreationalactivities where families can playtogether.

Councillor Linda King ques-tioned whether there’s beenadequate consultation with thecommunity.

Boag said there’s been threeopen houses and the district sentout e-mails and called people tolet them know about the openhouses, as well as advertising themin local newspapers.

King also said the business open-ing up would mean “we’re going tobe inundated with people.”

She said the district will have tobe prepared and can’t allow peopleto park anywhere and everywhereor “it’ll just be a nightmare.” Kingsaid there could also be an impacton the river. She added she likesthe way Maple Ridge Park is rightnow and is leery about its charac-ter changing. However, she addedshe understands the need to enticeyoung people and keep peoplephysically active.

“We don’t want to damage whereit’s going to be located because it’sa very beautiful place right now,”she said.

Boag said the company is pro-posing to expand an existing park-ing lot and is hoping to negotiatewith the Eagles Hall to use someof their parking for overflow park-ing. People would be expected tobook in advance to use the aerialadventure courses so they wouldn’tjust drop in. There would also be amaximum capacity for the num-

ber of people who could be on thecourse at one time. He said thatwould limit the number of peopletrying to park there at the sametime. Boag said a parking study hasfound the “worst case scenario”would be 50 cars at one time andthe expanded parking lot would beable to handle more than 60 cars.

Mike Murray, general managerof community development andparks and recreation, said camp-ing at Maple Ridge Park has been“problematic,” and added thatallowing a campground near a res-idential area isn’t ideal.

He said the environmentalimpacts on the site would likelybe lower once the campground isgone.

Councillor Cheryl Ashlie calledit a “huge, huge opportunity to sellthe rest of Maple Ridge.”

She said once people are herethe district could promote otheraspects of the municipality.

She said the business would alsoprovide work for youth who needsummer jobs and have problems

finding them in the community.If the proposal goes ahead there

would be a caretaker on site forafter hours security and site main-tenance.

The business would includea kids’ course for children fromseven to 13 and an adult course.Activities would include zip lines,suspended bridges, tightropes,rope swings, hanging nets, swing-ing logs, aerial wall climbing andladders.

As part of the design projectWildPlay will do a feasibility studyincluding an arborist to ensuretrees aren’t damaged.

If council approves the projectWildPlay would pay the district abase rent of $32,000 for the firstyear, paid only for the monthsthe park is operating. In years twoto five the district would receive$32,000 a year or four per cent ofgross revenue, whatever is higher.In years six to ten the district wouldbe paid $36,000 a year or five percent of gross revenue, whatever ishigher.

CorrectionThe TIMES published

some outdated informationin our Live Green sectionon April 16. Please see Page13 for updated informationabout ARMS and the Recy-cling Society’s milk cartoncollection.

Bernie Constable remem-bers the days when justintroducing himself in frontof an audience led to hisknees knocking together.

“I was terrified,” said Con-stable.

However, since he becamea Toastmasters member fouryears ago he’s now the presi-dent of the Spoken Wordclub in Burnaby and giveseducation sessions at con-ferences.

“Toastmasters really doeswork,” he said.

Elmer Thiessen joinedToastmasters for the firsttime in 1975 because hisboss told him to. He quitfor a number of years butwas inspired to rejoin afterhe had to make a presenta-tion to Abbotsford City Hallin 2001 about the unfair-ness of charging landlords iftheir tenants had grow ops.His presentation was in a TVstory that evening.

“I turned on the TV, sawmyself speaking and saidthat’s terrible, that’s awfulbut I know to fix it,” he said.

Ardine Joss said she origi-nally became a memberof Toastmasters becauseshe was curious, quit for awhile but decided to returnbecause she was around “a

lot of people who spoke poorEnglish and grammar and Iwas picking up bad habits.”

Joss said one of the bestthings she’s learned is hownot to use “filler words” suchas um, ah, so and like.

“There’s a lot of challengesin Toastmasters. It’s not justabout public speaking. It’sabout gaining confidencein yourself,” she said. “Thisexercises your mind to thinkon your feet.”

Constable, Joss and Thies-sen spoke to the TIMES topromote the formation ofa new Toastmasters club inPitt Meadows. It will haveits inaugural meeting thisThursday, April 29 at 7:30p.m. at Pitt Meadows CityHall.

Thiessen said “some peo-ple are more afraid of publicspeaking than of death” buthe said Toastmasters canchange that.

For him Toastmastersoffers four main sellingpoints: the ability to becomean effective public speaker,the opportunity to have yourpublic speaking evaluated soyou can improve, the chanceto learn to think on your feetand the opportunity to chairmeetings.

“You have no alternativebut to improve your self-esteem and self confidence,”he said.

Joss said Toastmasters alsohelps with your leadershipskills through chairing meet-ings and evaluating speech-es because you need to learnto be diplomatic and how tointeract with a variety of per-sonalities, as well as media-tion and negotiation skills.

The members said Toast-masters is also helpful forpeople learning English as asecond language.

Toastmasters is also asocial organization.

“The club becomes likea family where everyone isthere helping and support-ing each other,” said Con-stable.

The three members alsolike the fact that Toastmas-ters is an international orga-nization.

“You can literally travelaround the world and notfeel alone,” said Constable.

Constable went to a clubin Hawaii and they immedi-ately asked him to evaluate aspeech.

Toastmasters can alsobe education. Joss said shelearns a lot through thespeeches members make.The other day she learnedvarious facts about raccoonsshe didn’t know before.

Toastmasters membersgive prepared speeches butthey also sometimes haveto give a two-minute speech

on a topic without any prep-aration. Audience membersevaluate their performance.

However, Thiessen saidmembers are allowed to“cheat, lie and change thesubject” of the impromptutwo-minute speech.

The most difficult speechThiessen ever had to makewas about “how to handlegrief and how to help peoplein grief because I’ve beenthere.” The challenge wasnot getting too emotional tocontinue to speech.

One of Joss’s most chal-lenging experiences wasreading aloud from a textb e c a u s e m e m b e r s a r eexpected to incorporateemotion, body language andeye contact while reading.

In advanced stages ofToastmasters member-ship members learn to givespeeches to hostile audienc-es, a skill that would come inhandy in various situations,especially potentially as amanager or boss.

Toastmasters has becomeso ingrained in Constable’slife that his wife jokes whenthey go to different churchservices “don’t evaluate thepastor.”

If you’re interested in join-ing the new club it costs$100 to join and then $66 forsix months or $120 for a year.Meetings are once a week.

Police believe a man shotmultiple times Thurs-

day afternoon in Whonnockwas involved in a marijuanagrow rip.

The shooting occurredaround 1 p.m. Thursdayon 272 Street. Ridge Mead-ows RCMP Inspector Der-ren Lench said the man wasdriven to Ridge MeadowsHospital and then taken toRoyal Columbian Hospitalfor surgery.

His injuries aren’t believedto be life threatening. Policehave detained two men inconnection with the shoot-ing for questioning.

One was linked to the resi-dence the grow-op is in andthe other drove the victim tothe hospital.

“It appears it was likelywhat we call a grow rip or ahome invasion that’s gonewrong. Essentially these sit-uations that are becomingcommon are criminals try-ing to break into marijuanagrow situations either legalgrows or unlawful growsand attempting to rip off theproduct,” said Lench.

“It appears at this pointthat the individual that wasshot was likely engaged ina grow rip. We don’t know

whether he was inside theresidence or he was some-one who had come to try tosteal the marijuana. Obvi-ously our investigation willlead us to the point wherewe’re comfortable sayingthat the shooting took placeinside the residence or sortof trying to break-in.”

Lench said grow rips havebecome “very common” andpolice are investigating threeincidents that occurred thisweek in the community.

In two of the cases a per-son was shot multiple times.In the third incident, at agrow-op where the personhad a legal right to growmarijuana, weapons wereproduced but the criminalsdidn’t get into the residence,said Lench.

“It is known to police thatin fact that those who are atthe grow who are guardingit are armed quite often withfirearms and as well thosethat are trying to break in tosteal the marijuana are alsoarmed. That’s obviously aconcern to us and a concernto the citizens of Maple Ridgeand Pitt Meadows whom wepolice,” said Lench.

“It’s a concern right acrossthe Lower Mainland. We’renot the only ones being hit.It seems these home inva-sions are on the rise and

they are targeting illegal andlegal grow operations.”

Lench couldn’t commenton how many marijuanaplants were in the house.

T h e L ow e r Ma i n l a n dEmergency Response Teamwas called in to ensure theresidence was safe to enter.

Lench couldn’t say if thevictim or the two men whowere detained for question-ing are known to police.

Lench said legal grow opsare concerning police as wellas illegal grow-ops becausepolice don’t have the right toinspect legal grow-ops.

“We have to have moreregulations around themedicinal grows,” he said.

Lench said police believethe “criminal element” is“trying to get their feet in”medicinal grow-ops.

“We don’t even have aright to go in there so as thecriminals start to get a holdof those say you’re supposedto only grow 50 plants wellthey could be growing 2,000plants,” he said.

“We can’t do inspections.The fire department is con-cerned. BC Hydro is con-cerned because you don’tknow how well it’s set up.”

Police were unable torelease information aboutwhere the victim was fromand how old he is.

School District 42 has beenasked to return $204,000

to the Ministry of Educationaccording to the ResourceManagement division’s dis-trict audit.

Auditors found a total of33.75 full-time equivalents(FTE) to be ineligible forfunding in the district. TheMinistry of Education fundsboards of education basedon the number of FTEs adistrict has.

A team of auditors came toSD42 schools to audit Kin-dergarten to Grade 12 enrol-ment, Grade 10-12 coursesclaimed, English as a SecondLanguage (ESL), Aboriginaleducation, post-secondarytransition programs, andinternational and out-of-province education.

The district was given 30days to submit an appeal tothe Ministry of Education,and according to SD42’sagenda package for Wednes-day’s board meeting, theydid submitted an appealprior to April 18.

Appeal documents statethat “under no circumstanc-es [is] trying to claim for the

students we have no right toclaim for.”

One of the main reasonsfor the appeal is that there isone school, Thomas HaneySecondary, that is a self-directed, outcomes-basedschool and does not fit theaudit process.

The appeal says “THSS isa continuing progress modelschool which directly alignswith the principles of 21stCentury learning skills,” andthat the audit timeline fliesin the face of the good peda-gogy the schools runs with.

Some THSS students com-plete classes by the end ofOctober, and the schoolencourages them to contin-ue adding classes during theyear,

The deadline to claim FTEseach year is Sept. 30, andthe district is appealing thatwhile plenty of students dropcourses throughout the year,they also add courses as well.

One reason for this is thework experience program.The appeal says that in the2008-2009 school year, a totalof 181 students signed up for,and successfully completedwork experience 12A or 12Bafter Sept. 30.

Because of the deadline,

the district did not collectfunding for any of those stu-dents.

The district tries to do whatis best for its students andallow them to take coursesin order to meet their needs,even if they aren’t funded,the appeal states.

Also being appealed is theaudit of English Literatureand English 12. The districtmaintains there are studentswho will complete eightcredits worth of English 12and Literature, but due tohigh demands on their timestudents have agreed tocomplete the courses “out-side the timetable,” eventhough they don’t spendthe same amount of timein seats as other students inthose classes.

COME AND SEE THE REVOLUTIONARYNEW TECHNOLOGY FINALLY HERE IN MAPLE RIDGE


Scandal Cup far from our reachA recent Ekos poll shows that

60 percent of Canadians are fol-lowing L’Affaire Guergis/Jaffer.Sounds impressive, doesn’t it?Not so fast.

Of that 60 percent, only 18percent said they’re follow-ing this scandal closely. Moreimportantly, 40 percent saidthey weren’t following it at all.

That’s 40 per cent of Canadianswho don’t give a rodent’s derrierewhether Rahim Jaffer snorted aline, lobbied government offi-cials or consorted with persons ofuntidy reputations. And they careeven less whether Helena Guergishelped him do all of that.

And no wonder. Canadians aretraditionally unable to give goodscandal.

My research shows that notsince William Lyon MackenzieKing (PM off and on from 1921-1948) held séances in which hetalked to his mom, his severalIrish terriers, Leonardo da Vinciand FDR, have we produced any-thing truly juicy.

And even then, little was knownabout Mac’s penchant for com-muning with the dead until afterhis own demise in 1950.

More recently, while Britishand American politicians werecavorting about with members(their own or other people’s) ofvarious sexes in bathrooms, bedsand bordellos, the best we hadto offer was Maxime Bernier andhis now ex-girlfriend Julie Couil-lard. In 2008, Mad Max left someimportant papers at the house ofOur Lady of Cleavage and sure,he had to resign as foreign affairsminister.

He’s since been re-elected andword has it that he’s well on hisway to political rehabilitation.Ho bloody hum.

And how do you top the impactof British Members of Parliamentpadding their expense accountswith claims for mortgage pay-ments on two houses or, betteryet, on houses that do not exist?How can Canadians competewith claims for dog food and kittylitter? For chandeliers, groceriesand porn?

But the piece de scandale thatwill forever render Canadianmisdemeanors wanting and willforever put the Brits at the top ofthe shocked and appalled leaderboard is the moat.

That’s the moat around Con-servative MP Douglas Hogg’s Lin-colnshire manor; it is the moatso badly in need of cleaning thatHogg submitted a £2,115 (some$3,260 Cdn) expense claim.

Sadly, the moat has not yetfeatured in the ongoing historictelevised debate featuring PMGordon Brown, David Cameronof the Conservative party andpossible kingmaker Nick Clegg ofthe Liberal Democrats.

I keep waiting, but so far, therehas been no mention of thehoards of Picts, Normans andirate Quebecois who evidently

regularly try to cross this moatand lay siege to the manor.

In this modern era, it is obvi-ous that invaders ought not to beconfronted with dirty moats.

Meanwhile, we keep trying.Helena Guergis and hubby RahimJaffer are doing their very bestand they are to be commendedfor their efforts ... well maybe not.

So OK, Rahim was allegedlycaught with cocaine; sure Helenahad a tantrum in the P.E.I. airportand sure the two of them mayhave spent time cavorting aboutin expensive restaurants withshady characters.

So? I personally, would not likeanybody to know about the timeI went to Moose Jaw and ... oh,never mind.

Sadly, we are the Toronto MapleLeafs or perhaps the Toyota ofdirty laundry.

We strive to win the ScandalCup but succeed only in rackingup a string of near misses andoutright losses.

The Ekos poll also informed usthat 66 percent of those Canadi-ans who are following the G & Jscandal said their confidence inpoliticians has been damaged.That’s 66 percent of 60% for thoseof you who aren’t paying atten-tion here.

So thanks to Helena and Rahim,39.6% of Canadians now have alower opinion of politicians thanthey did before.

This is a bit like the idea that39.6% of Canadians who dislikedbroccoli yesterday, dislike it evenmore today.

Put another way, where is ourmoat?

Grow-opsgettingviolent

Last week two men were shot multipletimes in what police believe were robberiesat marijuana grow operations and there wasan unsuccessful “grow rip” where criminalswere armed with guns. Recently three chil-dren were seized by the Ministry of Childrenand Family Development because they wereliving in a home with a grow-op in it.

Last year Ridge Meadows RCMP busted73 grow-ops and Superintendent DaveWalsh told Maple Ridge council that num-ber may be only 10 per cent of the grow-opsthat exist in the communities.

Marijuana is an extremely lucrative drugfor organized crime groups and grow-opsare bringing a new level of violence to vari-ous communities, even formerly quiet sub-urbs like Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.Now that people are getting shot multipletimes in bucolic settings like Whonnockit raises the question: What should we doabout marijuana?

We could build more jails and lock morepeople up after imposing stiff mandatorysentences for people involved in grow-ops.However, with the high rate of marijuanause in society it’s unlikely demand is goingto go down and criminals will always behappy to meet that demand because there’ssuch a profit to be made. Alcohol prohibi-tion didn’t prevent people from drinking. Itjust increased violence and profits for gang-sters.

As an indication of how many peoplesmoke pot you just have to check out therecent photos of the thousands of peoplewho showed up at an annual ‘420’ rally onApril 20 in Toronto and Vancouver.

Meanwhile, legalization and decrimi-nalization are controversial and we seemafraid to go there as a society due to fear ofretaliation from our largest trading partnerand the fear of marijuana being a “gatewaydrug” into harder drug use.

Interestingly, in a recent Angus Reid pollsix out of ten people supported legalizingmarijuana possession but 70 per cent want-ed mandatory prison sentences for drugdealers and marijuana grow operators.

Regardless of where people stand onlegalization versus tougher sentences it’ssafe to say the status quo is not a success.When guns are being used to guard growops and people breaking into grow-opsare also armed with guns it could be only amatter of time before innocent civilians gethurt.

Editor:I find the articles concern-

ing the development of thePelton land to be very inter-esting although lacking insome areas.

For me the issue is not somuch the loss of land fromthe ALR, although I am onthe side to keep it in, theissue is why is it happen-ing so fast. The planning todecide the future of landuse in the Albion Flats, landthat is in a flood plain andhas been nonproductivefor years, has taken over 10years whereas the Peltonapplication involving landthat is in the middle of pro-ductive farms, seems to beon a fast track.

Why? The claim that thou-sands of new jobs are possibleis wishful thinking at best. TheGolden Ears Bridge has beenopen for almost ten monthsand few if any of the promisedthousands of new jobs andcommercial growth are appar-ent.

The industrial complex onthe north side of the bridgehas numerous vacanciesand “for sale or for lease”signs abound. There are alsonumerous opportunities inthe existing complex on ourside of the bridge.

What is the hurry? The onlything that Mr. Pelton’s propos-al ensures is an increase of theunsightly cement monstrosi-ties that already abound onthe north side of the bridge.I believe council should putthis whole issue on the backburner, the land is goingnowhere, and the requirementfor Mr. Pelton to come up withmuch more details should bedemanded. If he wants to sellthe land, sell it, as agriculturalland and let someone whowants to farm it do so.

Graham MowattMaple RidgeEditor’s note: Although

there has been much discus-sion about the Pelton pro-posal, it has yet to be beforecouncil or the ALC.

Editor:The Polder society has

long been known as “Whin-ing Society”– they whineabout any exclusion outof the ALR. Their original

leader, Dr. Rumball has longleft this area for greenerpastures. Every time I drivethrough Maple Ridge or PittMeadows, I see hundredsor thousands of propertieswhich seem to be dilapidat-ed or unattended.

Why does no one com-plain about that? Shortagesof food? Yes, maybe we willbe hit by an asteroid, or per-haps a few volcanoes in thisarea will blow up then wedon’t have to worry aboutfood shortages. I guess allthese possibilities are there.I have not noticed any short-ages anywhere. And savingfarmland for young farmers?Do they have the $100,000per acre required to startfarming? They couldn’t evenearn enough income fromthe land to pay the intereston their mortgages. Or dosome of the whiners expectlandowners to give their landaway, they have worked theirasses off for many years?

If anyone wants to farm,good, buy the land at mar-ket prices and start farming,than you can talk about theexperience and tell us howprofitable your farming is.

Lance FelgnarPitt Meadows

Editor:This is a dream. A coun-

cil and staff that look afterMaple Ridge first. Whenwill they realize that energycosts are increasing andagricultural land needs tobe treasured. There is landin Whonnock that has beenfarmed since the beginningof the last century. Whenagricultural land is rezonedsubstantial profits are madeamounting to millions of

While most gifts will havemom weeping with joy,

some Mother’s Day bootywill inspire tears of anotherkind, according to the resultsof two national surveys.

Utilitarian presents – thekind that say, “I love youlike a personal assistant”– were named the worstMother’s Day gifts eithergiven or received by 22 percent of the 1,034 moms andadult children polled byIpsos Reid and the Chris-tian Children’s Fund ofCanada.

Within that dubious cat-egory, cleaning productsand chore-related “gifts”such as vacuums and ironsproved the most unwanted,followed closely by kitchen-ware and tools and appli-ances.

Those presents, however,look practically sonnet-worthy when comparedto the gifts received bysome of the 1,162 Cana-dian moms polled by www.y u m m y m u m m y c l u b. c a– among them, a sumppump, ankle weights, anant farm, a bucket of friedchicken and, from oneespecially brave gift-giver,

cellulite cream.The problem is that the

perception of a mother’srole too often dictates theway she’s rewarded, accord-ing to a noted women’sstudies researcher.

“A core part of mother-hood is assumed to be ser-vice: caring for others, beinga tower of strength,s h ow i n g e m o t i o nbut also good sense,[and] above all, beingt h e re,” s a y s To byMiller, a professor atthe University of Cal-ifornia, Riverside.

However useful avacuum or a mix-ing bowl, Miller says“practical” gifts canreinforce the notionthat moms are “pri-m a r i l y t h e r e t oserve.”

Kim Badun, whoruns Pack it Smart in Cal-g a r y, a d m i t s h e r s o n’simpromptu gift of his oldrubber boots one Mother’sDay – a day upon which hewas desperate to be takenfrog-hunting in the coldsleet – was “a little self-serv-ing,” but adds lightheart-edly: “What do you expectfrom a four-year-old?”

“I froze,” recalls Badun,who ended up wearing her

own running shoes on theouting.

“Bu t I w o u l d n’t h a v emissed the experience foranything.”

Na d i n e Si l v e r t h o r n e,editor of the Canadianwomen’s site Sweetmama,received “absolutely noth-ing” for her second Moth-

er’s Day – whichalong with a lackof acknowledg-ment was citedby 41 per cent ofmoms polled byIpsos Reid as thelowest Mother’sDay blow there is.

“ T h e e x c u s e– and it’s the sameone my dad usedto give my mom –was ‘You’re not mymother,’ “ recallsS i l v e r t h o r n e .“[But] I have the

best gifts of all: two beau-tiful and healthy childrenand a husband who lovesme, even if he’s not the sen-timental type.”

Sometimes, even goodintentions have a way ofgoing sideways. Such wasthe case for Calgary stay-at-home mom Jolyn Swain lastMother’s Day, when she wasgiven a bottle of her favou-rite lotion.

“Within two hours, myson – who was two at thetime – had emptied the bot-tle on my bed, and I foundhim painting with it!” Swainsays, laughing. “I told myhusband that lotion mightnot be such a great idea thisyear.”

The Yummymummyclub.ca poll finds 41 per centof Canadian moms don’texpect anything more thanflowers and a card on Moth-er’s Day.

Forty-six per cent reporttheir families spend lesson Mother’s Day than theydo on other occasions,while 62 per cent said theyplanned to scale back lastyear because of the reces-sion.

The money expected tobe spent by each householdthis year, however, could goa long way toward givingmom what she really wants.

“The No. 1 thing is just topay homage to the goddessthat is mom,” says Toronto’sRacheal McCaig, who blogsas the Energizer Mummy.“Although if my husbandsaid, ‘Pack your bag andtake your passport, I’d bedelighted.”

Both polls were conduct-ed online and have no mar-gins of error.

ARMS’ article posted inthe TIMES on April 16, 2010paper presented activitiesthat ARMS completed lastyear, such as the SalmonEnhancement Programworkshop. This workshoporganized by ARMS, KEEPSand the Stave Valley Salmo-nid Enhancement Societywas huge success with over200 volunteers from acrossthe province coming togeth-er to discuss their experi-ences.

This year, the AlouetteRiver Management Societyhas been busy with theirannual Spring Break Camp,Hatchery and WatershedEducation Tours (WET), res-toration project with the 1stLaity View Scouts and host-

ing the 13th annual Aborigi-nal Environmental Days.

Through participatingin the activities of ARMS’Spring Break Eco-Camp, thecampers became more eco-conscience and familiar withthe local natural outdoors.

Every year ARMS part-ners with the 1st Laity ViewScouts to do a local restora-tion program – this year ittook place at Camp Lake-wood. The scouts clearedgarbage and invasive plantspecies. On April 10, theyplanted 400 trees in thecleared space.

For the remainder of thespring we are focused ondelivering hatchery andWETtours to local pre-schoolsand elementary and high

schools.ARMS is now in the midst

of preparing for their fun-filled summer camps. Thisyear there are new themesand activities planned andare a must for any child,aged 6-12, who wants to adda memorable environmen-tal experience to their 2010summer vacation.

The theme for the July19- 23 week is “Cute but notso cuddly creatures” andwill focus on exploring andinvestigating the interac-tions between specific wild-life and habitat they dependon. The following camp,“Wet n’Wild Things”, Aug. 3to 6 will bring the camperscloser to the smaller, wetterbits of the forest.

ABC Recycling has expand-ed its partnership with RidgeMeadows Recycling Society.The Burnaby metals recyclernow sponsors the society’sorange can bag. The orangebag is one of five bags usedby Maple Ridge residents torecycle various tin and alu-minum like cans, foil, pieplates, metal jar lids, metalbottle caps, and milk car-tons.

“Our orange bag is a veryimportant part of the sortingsystem,” said Kim Day, Exec-utive Director for the society.“Not only do we collect met-al but milk cartons too.”

The polycoating on themilk cartons would con-taminate all the other paperproducts if it was put inthe other bags. So the soci-ety decided that by puttingthem in the orange can bagit would be easier to sort andseparate at the depot.

ABC Recycling estab-lished support of the societyincludes their large metalsbaler located at the recyclingdepot in Albion. This highpressure (2400 psi) electricbaler crushes three refrig-erators or 5000 tin cans intoone three-foot block. Thestrength is like the weight

of 39 elephants all pushingtogether in one spot. Themetal is then sent to a smelt-er and turned into rebar.

Recycling metals insteadof mining reduces air pollu-tion by 86%. For more infor-mation about the Districtof Maple Ridge’s recyclingprogram, visit rmrecycling.org or call 604-463-5545.New or replacement orangerecycling bags are availableto order online or at theRecycling Society on 10092- 236th St. in Maple Ridge.For information about ABCRecycling, visit www.abcre-cycling.com.

The forecast for 2010 is forlots of blue skies, says a

colour expert with a leadingCanadian paint brand.

“The No. 1 colour is a clearsky blue,” Jennifer Jones,marketing communicationsmanager for CIL DecorativePaints, said in a telephoneinterview from her Torontooffice.

“We’re seeing this light

blue coming out everywhere... It symbolizes optimismand new beginnings,” sheexplained.

“It’s also associated withnature and the environ-ment. So it gives us a feel-ing of getting away from itall. It’s refreshing; it’s sooth-ing – one of those feel-goodcolours,” she added.

Jones described the hotcolours for 2010 as “reallylively and cheerful.”

“We’re going to be see-

ing more energetic coloursall around us in the com-ing year – not just in homedecor, but on the fashionrunways, in all types of con-sumer goods,” she predict-ed.

“People are becominga little more adventurouswith their colours,” Jonessaid. “And we’re encouragingthem to continue that.”

“In general, the colourshave been a bit more mutedin the last year or two,” shepointed out. “Now they’re alot cleaner and a lot bright-er.”

Here’s what Jones said wecan expect to see this year:

The new reds are veryvibrant. They’re replacingthe previously fashionableneutral pinks and coffee-based reds. Clean, futuristic-looking pinks will be takingthe spotlight. And we canexpect to see a lot of coraltones.

them – to brighten thingsup. They’re moving awayfrom last year’s redinfluence. The newhues emit a brightand sporty energy.

Yellows are soft andclean for the mostpart. Look for sunnyyellow, citrus, honey,mustard and bananashades. Used on theirown or combinedwith shades of blue,the new yellows arerefreshing and com-forting with a hint ofpizzazz.

Greens will have

lots of yellow influence inthem. Reminiscent of new

plant shoots andbeginnings, thenew liquid-l ikegreens exude afeeling of renewal,open space andfreshness.

Purples are verydeep, very intense.The dramatic vio-lets create a lookthat’s both tradi-tional and mod-ern. For those notready to experi-ment with intenseviolets, cool laven-

ders will also be in vogue inthe year ahead, creating anelegant and soothing envi-ronment.

There are a lot morecolours in the neutrals thisyear, Jones pointed out.Warm neutrals include beige– rich beiges that are almostbrown. They’re not thewashed-out, ultra-conserva-tive beige of previous years.The new warm neutrals aredeeper, infused with yel-low-based earth, clay, sandand grain tones. For anultra fashionable look, thesewarm neutrals can be com-bined with turquoises andteals.

“What we’re seeing a lot ofthis year also is greys,” Jonessaid. “Grey is kind of the newbeige.”

Fairly saturated greysare being used as neutrals,instead of beige, she said.These cool neutrals – ashgreys, near blacks and greenslate tones – are being usedon walls, as well as theneutral accent colour withgreens and vibrant reds.

The use of colour in peo-ple’s homes can help lifttheir spirits, Jones said. Andpeople will soon be able toselect a mood to paint theirhome in on CIL’s new web-site at www.cil.ca, whichdivides the colour paletteinto four mood groups –each representing a feeling.

Lively and cheerful colours for 2010, says expertIRENE SEIBERLING

They include: a mellowand comforting collection,which features serene andinviting colours; a soft andelegant collection, withcolours that create a calmand sophisticated feel; aclean and playful collec-tion, which features cheer-ful tones, often used inchildren’s rooms; and a deepand luxurious collection,which has rich and dramaticcolours.

CIL has even developedan online test to help peopledetermine what mood they’dlike to create and what ambi-ence they’d like to create intheir home.

A colour co-ordinator toolis also being made available.When a colour is punchedin, the colour co-ordinatorwill recommend a bunch ofco-ordinating colours thatare guaranteed to match.People tend to agonize overthe choice of paint colours,Jones said.

“One of the biggest prob-lems is people are afraid toexperiment with colour,”she said.

For those nervous aboutintroducing a vibrant colourinto their home, Jones rec-ommended starting witha small room or an accentwall.

“People want that wow

factor in their homes, butthey get really nervous whenit comes to using anythingother than an off-white or abeige,” she said.

“We’re trying to give themthe confidence to just try it.”Pick a colour that you love,Jones recommends. Don’tjust pick a colour because it’sone of the trends, she said.

“Make sure it’s a colourthat you love and that itspeaks to you. Perhaps it co-

ordinates with some itemsthat you have. Feel goodabout the colour you’re pick-ing,” she said.

“Our most important sug-gestion is to encourage peo-ple to try lively colours andbring their rooms to life,”Jones said.

“Because it’s fun. Puttingcolour in is actually reallyexciting – and shouldn’t beso scary.”

Now, the Royals are roll-ing.

The midget AAA ball clubstarted their exhibitionschedule with a bit of a blun-der, but have since knockedout five straight victories,while also winning in six oftheir last seven.

The most recent of those

wins came this week witha three game series againstthe Abbotsford Angels.

The ser ies kicked offWednesday in Abbotsford,w h e n Sp e n c e r St e w a r tpitched five innings withjust one run on three hitsbefore giving the reins to thebullpen.

Eric Blower struggled inthe sixth inning, allowingthree runs in the only inning

he pitched.However, Brett Snowball

came in for the final inningand didn’t allow a single runto close out the game, as theRoyals’ offence proved toomuch for the home Angelsin their 9-4 win.

The series then shiftedover to Albion Field for thefinal two games in a doubleheader on Saturday.

And even with the three

days off, the Royals’ offenceonly improved, scoring 21runs off of 20 hits in twomercy rule wins.

Ridge Meadows took thefirst game 11-1 in six innings,and the second game 10-0in five innings, sending theAngels home winless for theweek.

Kelsey Campbell, ex-Maple Ridge Rambler nowIndiana Hoosier, was given the Scholastic

Achievement Award by the Indiana Varsity Club atits annual Scholastic Achievement Awards dinnerearlier this month.

The 31-year-old award was established by theIndiana University Varsity club to honour andacknowledge the academic excellence of one stu-dent athlete every year in each varsity sport.

It recognizes the athlete who attains the high-est cumulative grade point average on his or herrespective team.

IU vice president Fred Glass said that he“couldn’t be more proud of our scholastic achieve-ment winners and how they respect Indiana Uni-

versity.”“Kelsey [Campbell] is just a tremendous stu-

dent-athlete,” said head coach of water polo BarryKing.

“She is a real inspiration to the rest of her team-mates for how hard she works in and out of thepool.

“She is just the hardest worker with the biggestbrain we’ve ever had.”

Campbell thanked King and others uponaccepting her award.

“I want to thank all my coaches, teammates andparents for all of their support. It’s been a greatexperience so far.”

The award recipients will be added to the Scho-

lastic Achievement plaque on permanent displayin the north lobby of Assembly Hall, the historicbasketball stadium at IU.

Campbell, however, is used to winning awards.In her sophomore season at IU she started 36

games, scoring 32 goals and 24 assists in the 37games she played.

That earned her two straight Player of the Weekawards, and a spot on the western division all-conference team.

During her tenure at MRSS, she was twicenamed British Columbia water polo player of theyear.

Campbell still has two years of college eligibilityremaining.
