Grannies rage against hospital parking. p3B.C. ViewsTwo solitudes on B.C. farmland. p6

More than 50 people in Maple Ridge joined a nation-wide pro-test Saturday to stop pipelines, oil sands expansion and draw atten-tion to climate change.

The rally outside MP Randy Kamp’s office was one of 130 events staged across Canada as part of a national day of action to Defend Our Climate.

Newly-elected Katzie First Na-

tion Chief Susan Miller kicked off the protest by welcoming rally participants to her band’s tradi-tional territory.

Mike Gildersleeve, who orga-nized the Maple Ridge rally, was pleased with the turn-out and honks of support from passing cars.

“We don’t want to be saddled with a fossil-fuel-dependant econ-omy,” said Gildersleeve, a former Green Party candidate.

At the top of his concerns is En-bridge’s proposed Northern Gate-way pipeline.

Gildersleeve believes the 1,170 kilometre pipeline will be disas-trous for the environment and in-

crease the risk of an oil spill on B.C.’s pris-tine coast.

If approved, the Enbridge p i p e l i n e would deliver up to 525,000 barrels of di-luted bitumen a day to Kiti-mat, where it would be shipped via tankers to Asian markets.

The federal Joint Review Panel is expected to deliver its final report on the Enbridge proposal by the end of year.

Many protesters also opposed Kinder Morgan’s plan to nearly triple the capacity of its existing TransMountain pipeline from Al-berta to Vancouver, as well as the provincial government’s push to ramp up production of liquefied natural gas (LNG).

“We expect our government to be leaders in green technology, alternative energy and renewal energy, instead of just giving lip service to this,” said Gildersleeve.

“We demand to see some action on these fronts. Instead what we are seeing is this feeding frenzy - more LNG projects, the prospect of pipelines through parks.”

Protest to defend climateColleen Flanagan/the news

Whonnock resident Yukiko Tanaka protests outside local MP Randy Kamp’s office as part of Defend Our Climate, Defend Our Communities National Day of Ac-tion on Saturday.

‘no mowing lawns at 9 a.m. sun.’

Maple Ridge council wants to equip its old noise bylaw with some new technology, using decibel readings and noise meters for better enforce-ment to keep the district a quieter place.

The draft bylaw proposes that resi-dents wait until 11 a.m. on Sundays and holidays before starting engine-powered lawn mowers. But those hours could change back to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., as in the current bylaw, follow-ing council feedback on Monday.

Under the draft law, a level of 55 dB would be set for any continuous noise during the daytime, while at night that level would be 45 dB.

When it comes to “non-continuous noise,” loud sounds that don’t last long, the levels are 80 dB in the day and 65 dB at night.

2 -- Wednesday, November 20, 2013 -- THE NEWS - www.mapleridgenews.com

The tune heard outside the Ridge Meadows Hospital was Mary Had a Little Lamb,

but the lyrics were vintage Raging Grannies:

“Hospital pay parking is a scam, is a scam, is a scam

Hospital pay parking is a scam that does the patients harm

And Fraser Health just does not care, does not care, does not care

And Fraser Health just does not care for their patients’ welfare”…

And on it went Saturday morn-ing, as the choir of seven Grannies sang their hearts out, calling for an end to pay parking at the health care facility in Maple Ridge.

“People were really quite happy that this is being discussed,” said Oosha Ramsoondar, who helped rally the Grannies for the issue.

“We realized that this is an issue that keeps coming up, and there never seems to be any resolution.”

The Grannies are a Maple Ridge group that lobbies for changes that benefit seniors, and generally tackle local issues, ranging from the need for new crosswalks to lo-cal strikes.

“We sing. We have songs that speak to the issue of pay park-ing and its negative effects,” said Ramsoondar.

“As grannies, we dress like gran-nies, and people stop and listen and are very amused,” she added, not-ing that the group will often pass out song sheets to audiences.

“Doing it [protesting] through song and theatre is not in-your-face confrontation, but still sends a message.”

This was an issue that hit home for the Raging Grannies. One of the members’ father, who is in his ’90s, fell ill, but delayed his trip to the hospital because he didn’t have the funds for the parking fees. He wound up with a one-week stay, and his loved ones left to wonder whether his condition would have been better had he sought medical help sooner.

“There was a direct impact on her family, for sure,” said Ramsoondar.

The Grannies say pay hospital

parking is a burden to all patients, but hits seniors particularly hard because they are more apt to need hospital services, and they are on fixed incomes.

The cost is $3.50 for the first hour, $3 for each additional hour, a day rate of $8.25 and evening rate of $5.25.

This issue came into the spot-light in Maple Ridge last December when the local band the Rx Rock-ers had parking passes displayed on their vehicles as they played a per-

formance at Baillie House, another Fraser Health facility, but were all still ticketed by Imperial Parking.

The Rockers got their tickets re-versed, but band member Russ Curnew was inspired to campaign against the issue of hospital park-ing.

The issue has received consider-able attention in the year since.

The CBC Marketplace program did a documentary titled “Hospital Parking Pain.”

A survey done for the show found

72 per cent of patients asked say hospital parking fees add stress to their visits, and 52 per cent say the fees effect how often and how long they will visit the hospital.

Another 14 per cent said it stops them from volunteering at the hos-pital.

There were 1,077 people sur-veyed.

Fraser Health keeps all parking revenue, approximately $500,000 per year. That covers $78,000 per year for lot maintenance, and the balance goes into the general bud-get for health care.

Imperial Parking retains ticket enforcement fines, and for “Hos-pital Parking Pain” the CBC inter-viewed a former Impark employee who said the company gives its ticket officers the incentive of a commission for each ticket issued.

Ramsoondar would like to see a petition taken of all those opposed to paid hospital parking, and the issue brought back before the Dis-trict of Maple Ridge.

Municipal councils in Delta and Mission have bylaws that restrict paid parking at their hospitals.

Council sent a letter to Health Minister Terry Lake last month ad-dressing the issue of paid hospital parking. It asked that signage at the hospital inform patients that long-term parking rates are available, as well as rates for those on low in-comes.

Coun. Corissa Bell criticized the letter, saying it missed the point that people want free or reduced parking.

“We really hope council will pick up this issue for people who have a problem paying this parking fee,” said Ramsoondar.

Or, as the Grannies sang:“Que sera sera,Whatever will be, will be,The future we must seeNo hospital parking fee.”

Grannies rage against hospital pay parking

The District of Maple Ridge should just take the million dollars from Multi Material B.C. and keep things business as usual down at the recy-cling depot.

If council votes for that option, residents wouldn’t notice any differ-ence. The Ridge Meadows Recycling Society will keep picking up recycla-bles from the ends of driveways, as it has for decades.

Council considered the staff sug-gestion Monday as B.C. moves to-wards making it mandatory to re-cycle packaging and paper.

In May 2011, the province made industry responsible for recycling of packaging and paper, with a goal to raise the recycling rate from 50 per cent up to 75 per cent. Multi-Mate-rial British Columbia was established to develop a stewardship plan to col-lect, process and re-sell the recycled material.

“They have said the majority of municipalities in the Lower Main-land are choosing to move to Op-tion 1, which is to take the cash,” said public works general manager Frank Quinn.

“Take the cash, see how it works out over the next year, and decide whether they want,” to continue.

The revised contract allows any side to bail out of the agreement with only six months notice, and return to running their own recycling pro-grams.

Council considered the same op-tion in September, with a deadline looming. The deadline to sign on to the program is now Nov. 30, allow-ing the program to start up next May.

One concern was the fines that cities could face if their paper and packaging becomes contaminated with other materials. Those penalties could range up to $120,000 a year.

But municipal engineer Dave Pol-

lock said because of the quality of Maple Ridge’s recyclables, that’s not an issue. Unlike most cities, Maple Ridge residents separate their recy-clables into six bags, putting news-paper, cardboard, cans and cartons, plastic, office paper and glass into separate bags, creating a cleaner stream of recyclables.

“We feel comfortable we’ll avoid any penalties in that regard.”

Mayor Ernie Daykin said the dis-trict will be able to cope with the change. “We’re in a much better po-sition than most municipalities.

Two other options included refus-ing the money and allowing MMBC to collect all recyclables, every sec-ond week instead of the weekly

pickup. The third is for Maple Ridge to ex-

clude itself entirely from the program and continue collecting recyclables as it has before. However, under that scenario, recycling revenues could go up and down with commodity prices and the district wouldn’t receive the $1 million annually that would stabi-lize recycling operations.

Council heard that the newspaper industry has told the district it’s not participating in the program. News-print is a large part of curbside pick-up. The newspaper industry could start its own recycling program or keep working with MMBC, Pollock said.

If council votes for Option 1 at its Nov. 26 meeting, MMBC will pay the District of Maple Ridge the mil-lion dollars. That money then will be put back into the recycling society to offset revenue lost to the program.

As she sits at the Quality Inn, wor-ried and frazzled,

Christina Evanow has just one wish.

“I just want to keep the family together,” says Evanow, who lost her home in a fire last week.

The family of six had rented a house at the cor-ner of 223rd Street and 119th Avenue for the past eight years.

At 5:33 a.m., Nov. 13, her youngest son Daniel woke up to the sound of crackling and what he thinks was an explosion.

As he rubbed his eyes, he could see a red glow through a pair of win-dows at the top of the staircase.

He yelled to wake up his sleeping siblings, Jessica and Matt. He grabbed the family’s zebra finches, Felix and Phoenix, then ran downstairs.

“He’s the hero,” says his mom, as the Grade 8 stu-dent walks into the hotel room after school.

Evanow, her husband Bill and three sons – Matt, Liam and Daniel – are living in the Quality Inn with their birds and fish, Tumbles. Their daughter

Jessica, 20, is staying with her boyfriend.

Their hotel stay has been extended to Nov. 26. Meanwhile, the Eva-nows are struggling to find a house that will fit all six of them.

The fire that ravaged the 70-year-old farm house, one the first two original homes in down-town Maple Ridge, de-stroyed everything the Evanows owned.

“They are going to need everything to re-establish themselves and restart,” said Pete Evanow, Bill’s brother, who is helping the family house hunt and field phone calls about donations.

“We are willing to ac-cept anything. It’s such a substantial loss.”

The Evanows have been overwhelmed by the sup-port they’ve received thus far.

Liam, a standout foot-ball player at Samuel Robertson Technical secondary, got his size 17 shoes.

His football team held a surprise birthday party for him at the hotel last week. Strangers have been dropping by the hotel with food and do-nations, and the Quality Inn is helping store them.

Jessica, who is study-ing fashion design at the University of the Fraser Valley, lost her model-ing portfolio and all the

possessions she’d worked hard to purchase with her own money. A fridge, new bed, mattress, mi-crowave and expensive text books were torched as flames raced up the side of the house to her bedroom on the second floor. She was getting ready to move out on her own.

Christina Evanow, meanwhile, is trying to salvage what she can from the house and be a pillar of support. Her husband Bill has returned to work as a caterer.

Meanwhile, Ridge Meadows RCMP con-tinue to investigate the fire, one of three blazes set within the span of an hour in the downtown core on Nov. 13.

Officers have canvassed the neighbourhood for witnesses and are check-ing surveillance footage, but have yet to identify any suspects.

A cedar mill in Maple Ridge that sparked the evacuation of a nearby homes following a fire has been meeting air quality standards despite concerns from neighbours who report an increasing amount of sawdust in the air.

Metro Vancouver confirmed Hammond Cedar remains com-pliant with its permit.

“The last test results show it is in compliance. Our visual ob-servations also show they are in compliance and we’ve received no complaints,” said Ray Robb, Metro Vancouver’s manager of regula-tion and enforcement.

Annual testing was last con-ducted in June after the Interfor-owned sawmill fixed its electro-static precipitator (air cleaner), which Robb said had been having problems for almost a year.

“They delayed testing until after they got that fixed … their permit is pretty tight,” said Robb, noting maximum emissions are capped at 20 milligrams per cubic metre and 10 per cent opacity, which means people should not be able to see a visible plume spewing from its smoke stack.

Stack testing in June found the mill was emitting between 16 or 17 mg/m3.

As for increasing sawdust in the lower Hammond neighbour-hood, Robb said it could be from a number of sources, including “bag houses,” which the mill uses to store sawdust.

Sawdust can also escape while the mill is loading wood chips onto barges, especially when windy.

Bert Pogany, who lives next to the mill, complained about saw-dust in August and still believes the mill isn’t doing enough to keep “fugitive dust” from escaping.

Metro Vancouver says the Dis-trict of Maple Ridge did not for-ward Pogany’s complaint to them.

Pogany and his family was forced to leave their home for two hours Thursday after a fire started in the sawmill’s dust collection system.

For the past year, he has noticed more and more sawdust coat-ing his home. He needs to power wash his house and cleans his gut-ters three times a year. He’s even installed an air purifying system, similar to the kind used in hospi-tals, that runs continuously.

“It’s overwhelming now,” he said.The Canadian Centre for Oc-

cupational Health and Safety says breathing in fine particulates can cause heart disease and contribute to chronic lung disease. They also aggravate asthma and chronic si-nusitis.

The News/opinion

VICTORIA – My late father used to say that if he ever won the lottery, he would “farm until it’s all gone.”

It was 1960 when he and my mother pulled up stakes in the Okanagan, where their families had been for generations, and moved north to carve a homestead out of a half section in the Peace River country.

So it’s a mainly northern perspec-tive that I bring to the latest debate over B.C.’s agricultural land reserve. A dialogue of the deaf has been going on for decades in B.C., where there are two separate realities in agriculture.

The dominant voice is always from the southwest, from the Okanagan to the Fraser Valley to southern Vancouver Island. This is not only B.C.’s most pro-ductive land, it’s also the place of greatest population and development pressure, where three million of the province’s four million residents live and more ar-rive every day.

In the rest of the province, except for pockets that are attractive for recre-ational development, farming is a tough row to hoe. These days, people are more likely to be moving away.

In our urbanized society, the loudest voices tend to be the least informed, from backyard-chicken hipsters to what I call “drive-by environmentalists,” who

like to look out their car windows at green fields as they motor from their subdivisions to big-box stores. The elderly Sikhs and Mexican guest workers bent over in the fields don’t need their lofty lectures on “food security.”

Voices from the rest of the province are seldom heard and quickly shouted down, as was the case at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Van-couver.

Merritt councillor Mike Goetz pleaded for relief from an Agricultural Land Commission that refuses to release a property that has “grown nothing but rocks and tumbleweeds for the last 100 years.” Similar property next door was released, but not this parcel, blocking a project for five years in a little town that could use the work and additional tax base. Urban sprawl isn’t a big problem in Merritt, which, like many small towns, is trying to hang onto its population.

Spallumcheen Coun. Ed Hanoski de-scribed the situation beyond the towns, the real rural B.C. He proposed easing the restrictions on building a second home on farm properties.

Currently, farmers can put a mobile home on their property for an elderly or infirm relative, but nothing with a permanent foundation. Once that rela-tive moves or passes away, the home is supposed to be removed.

Hanoski said a sewage system for such a residence costs around $12,000. Add the temporary foundation, skirting, well hookup, power, landscaping, driveway, and a mobile home that will lose its val-ue if it has to be moved, and the property

owner takes a loss of $150,000 or more.That’s why the removal rule is routinely

ignored in rural B.C., Hanoski said. These second homes are the only rental stock there is, providing modest income for marginal farms, and should be al-lowed permanent foundations.

Motion defeated, after a scolding from a Sunshine Coast delegate about people lusting to build mansions on farmland.

I asked Bill Bennett, the cabinet min-ister in charge of the latest agricultural land review, about a rumoured proposal to split the province into two zones with different rules. He declined to comment, but described the case of Fort Steele Farms, the East Kootenay community’s only market garden that almost closed because the next generation was initially refused permission for a second home.

The two zones approach deserves seri-ous consideration.

One thing that the circus at Toronto city hall has done is raise awareness about the role and impor-tance of civic government — especially what hap-pens when government doesn’t function.

Most of the time, people couldn’t care less about who runs municipal hall unless their taxes go up too much — less than 25 per cent of eligible voters typi-cally participate in general municipal elections.

Half the time, people couldn’t tell you who a local councillor is, and that’s a shame.

By giving up their vote, the electorate hands over the job of electing people to special interest groups, such as unions and developers and environmental-ists, which disproportionately contribute to election campaigns and, thus, potentially hold more sway.

Could this situation be addressed? Possibly, if civic campaigns were more open, af-

fordable and accessible. It could be argued that vot-ers tune out from local elections because of the sheer size and complexity of the campaigns. They may feel a certain distance from the process, believing it’s best left to others with deeper knowledge — or pockets.

To make civic election campaigns more affordable, the provincial government is looking at implement-ing a cap on election expenses and is asking the pub-lic for input.

This is certainly one issue worth considering. Elec-tioneering is getting increasingly expensive.

Currently, election expenses are posted online well after the election has taken place. But if people really want to know who is buying their candidate’s vote, they should be able to get that information as soon as the cheque is cashed.

Unfortunately, this isn’t being considered, nor are caps on campaign contributions because the gov-ernment says expense limits would be more effective than contribution limits in promoting participation in the election process.

There are other issues, but it looks like they won’t be addressed until after the 2014 election.

Still, anything that can make civic elections fair, open and transparent will be a good thing because we shouldn’t need a crack-smoking mayor and shouting and shoving matches in council chambers before people start to take notice or care.

This week’s question: With the new developments, are you visiting downtown Maple Ridge more often?

B.C. Views Tom Fletcher


Editor, The News:It’s now common knowl-

edge that AirCare” is in its last year of operation, end-ing Dec. 31, 2014.

I have always felt I’ve been overcharged for this pro-gram, as owning a 1995 ve-hicle, I’m charged double the rate, $45 as opposed to the $23, charged anyone owning a 1991 or older vehicle.

When checking the fre-quently asked questions

section of the web site, the answer to the question “how much does it cost,” it ex-plains that the payment is for “delivery of the program” and not for a period of time.

That being the case, why are we, who own 1992 or newer vehicles, being charged to have a “program delivered” for two years, only having it “delivered” once?

There is no testing done the second year.

As if that’s not bad enough, this year, which as previ-ously mentioned, is the last year of “program delivery” for light duty vehicles.

I was still charged $45, a two-year charge for a service that won’t even exist in the second year because the pro-gram ends on Dec. 31, 2014?

How do they justify this rip off of the public purse?

When I voiced my objec-tion to this, I was told they

don’t even have a computer program so they can charge $23 instead of the $45 I was charged.

I feel ICBC should reim-burse all affected by this in the form of a rebate of $23 on our 2014 auto insurance.

And another pertinent question: why does it cost twice as much to “deliver the program” to a 1992 or newer vehicle as it does to “deliver the program” to a 1991 or older vehicle?

Are we being lied to? John TurnerMaple Ridge

Editor, The News:Re: Zero tax increase ‘un-

palatable’ (The News, Nov. 1); Pitt council bypasses pay raises (The News, Nov. 6).

After reading these re-cent articles, one can only shake one’s head at the con-tinual ineptitude of Mayor Deb Walters and her three ardent supporters on coun-cil (Couns. Doug Bing, Tracy Miyashita and Gwen O’Connell).

Bing’s presence is an affront in itself; he repeatedly says he sees no wrong in holding two elected positions, which to anyone with even a mini-mal sense of integrity is a perceived conflict.

The mayor, in previous ar-ticles, has refused outright to seriously consider no tax in-crease; her repetitious com-ment that this is “unrealistic” shows that she completely fails to grasp the issue and is determined to have her own way, something made pos-sible by the support of the three named councillors.

Coun. Miyashita’s com-ment that reducing spending is “unfair” boggles the mind;

she apparently doesn’t con-sider it unfair to gouge the taxpayer endlessly to cover unnecessary spending, such as her annual increases in salary, useless indoor pool studies, which is simply a pet project of the mayor, or the mayor’s completely unneces-sary posh hotel nights at our expense.

Coun. O’Connell may not wish to apologize for her sal-ary, but she is not earning it.

An apology is in order for failing to do her job in cut-ting spending and prevent-ing further tax increases, which is exactly what the majority of citizens she is al-legedly working for clearly want, as shown by the results of the city’s own survey, two petitions and numerous let-ters.

Mayor Walters has shown real contempt for the citi-zens of this community. She refuses year after year to eliminate her annual in-crease – and her salary next year will rise by over $5,000, amounting to an increase in excess of $24,000 over the past five years.

The use of taxpayer’s mon-ey to cover her stay in a posh Vancouver hotel because she can’t be bothered to drive the 45-minute trip speaks vol-umes about her true interests and priorities.

If she really “worked for the city,” as she would have us believe, she would cover this entitlement out of her own pocket.

Donating all or a portion of this year’s salary increase to charity is meaningless when one recognizes that, regard-

less of what these people do with their increases, they are still getting them.

And that also means that next year’s increases will be larger as a percentage of the now-increased salaries.

More smoke and mirrors.When it comes to cut-

ting spending, we are told it would mean less police and fewer firefighters.

Perhaps finance director Mark Roberts needs to be re-placed, since he is only play-ing into the hands of select council members.

These individuals clearly have their heads buried in the sand, or wherever.

There is absolutely no rea-son to even consider cutting services that matter to every-one.

All that needs doing is to have a mayor and council-lors who are honest and competent, who respect the clear wishes of the taxpayers, who show some leadership, and put an end to this waste of money on their personal agendas.

Byron HoskingPitt Meadows

Editor, The News:Re: Ridge council not pro

pot (Letters, Nov. 13).Coun. Mike Morden says he

thinks readers can’t tell that someone is speaking as a citi-zen when they sign a petition.

I can tell you that the only way you can sign any petition is as a citizen.

I can also tell you that sign-ing this particular petition doesn’t mean you’re for or against any side of this issue.

His letter wasn’t just about insulting your readers, it was about his political future.

More on that later. I have asked both local may-

ors if they would sign the Sen-sibleBC petition.

Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters said she would think about it, but didn’t sign peti-tion.

When Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin signed the peti-tion, he signed as a citizen ask-ing his provincial government to have a referendum about something that isn’t working.

It might have seemed odd for Mayor Daykin to take such a principled but controversial stance when someone might try to take political advantage of such a position.

It wasn’t a surprise to me at all as I have seen him struggle with this issue and try hard to understand all sides.

Both mayors made their de-cisions as citizens and accord-ing to their own principles.

I respect both decisions. The cost of prohibiting can-

nabis far outweighs its effect on society. It also blocks the many benefits that this indus-try could bring to society.

Coun. Morden mentions $9 billion in economic activ-ity that already exists within our economy. This isn’t an economy on another planet, it’s money that exists and pro-vides benefits to most com-munities in B.C.

It also provides in excess of 200,000 well-paying jobs. The industry isn’t going away and we had better learn how to benefit from it.

Coun. Morden would apply “corrective measures and ap-propriate resources” to deal with this industry. Sounds ex-pensive and a complete waste of time and tax dollars.

Coun. Morden hasn’t offered any solutions. All he has done is list the problems within the present system – the violence, unsafe neighbourhoods, nox-ious odours, housing decay,

waste of resources and so on. All have all occurred under prohibition.

He seems to want more pro-hibition to fix the failures of prohibition, so more courts, jails and bigger government, more tax dollars.

The referendum process identifies some obvious solu-tions, and since it’s an open process, it allows the govern-ment to further define and refine those solutions so we can get on with building our economy instead of tearing it down.

Coun. Morden did offer one

solution. Actually, it was more of a dream: “If I was mayor ...”

Sounds more like a night-mare.

Craig SpeirsMaple Ridge

Editor, The News:Re: Conservatives ‘do honour service of Veterans’ (Let-

ters, Nov. 15).MP Randy Kamp, it would appear that you are simply

towing the party line. Have you actually looked into what the NVC actually accomplishes?

I served proudly with 2nd Battalion Princess Patricia’s Ca-nadian Light Infantry during the Cold War era, under the Liberal’s dark ages. I was injured overseas and subsequently have undergone two separate surgeries to cope with the damage and pain.

For me, over many years I have wore my scars as my ‘bat-tle honours,’ but when the cumulative damage meant los-ing time from my civilian job, I decided it may be time to request help from Veterans Affairs. I was denied assistance with the reason that, although I was injured overseas, I was not injured as a “direct result” of my duties.

Close friends of mine who continued their service and were called to arms in Afghanistan returned with physical and psychological injuries as a result of their service and they are, quite frankly, being screwed under the New Vet-erans Charter.

How do you honour service of veterans?

Let me clarify exactly how you and your Conservative government are honouring veterans:

• The NVC’s temporary programs that you so proudly claim are available, can arbitrarily be taken away at anytime that VAC deems they are no longer a necessity. Programs that, according to your own Ombudsman’s 2013 report, re-ject 53 per cent of the veterans who meet those program’s criteria. Those programs are only for the most seriously dis-abled, and they end at age 65, compared to the lifelong pen-sion of the Pension Act.

• The max benefit that can be received under the NVC is for 100 per cent disability, which equals $298,587.97 in 2013, as a one time lump sum payment, which is approxi-mately 10 per cent of what an equivalent injury or disability would pay under any other disability pension (WCB).

As well, this one time lump sum takes away the long-term security of a monthly pension as previously guaranteed un-der the old Pension Act.

• We have had more than 40,000 troops deployed over 12 years in Afghanistan alone, yet the federal government has closed nine district veterans affairs offices and slashed 450 VAC jobs in July, all at a time when our demands on the system are at a high not seen since the Second World War and Korea.

Mr. Kamp, your Conservatives have also filed an appeal in the Equitas Class action suit against the government, stating that they (the government) have no “Sacred Obligation” to care for Veterans who have answered the call and paid the price.

We, as current serving and veterans, stood in the face of oppression and tyranny when called. We vow to do the same now on home soil if need be.

Don’t spend what don’t haveLisa Ward:Re: Maple Ridge looking at 3.25 per cent tax hikes for next five years(mapleridgenews.com).The only thing more shameful than these tax hikes is council trying to BS them away with the excuse that the rate of increase has declined. How stupid do they think we are? Maple Ridge taxes are already ridiculously high. Simple solution: don’t spend money you don’t have, especially when it’s forcing average homeowner to spend money they don’t have on unexpected tax increases. This council needs to be replaced with one that’s competent enough to spend within their means.

“Donating all or a portion of this year’s salary increase to charity is meaningless when one recognizes that, regardless of what these people do with their increases, they are still getting them.

As for noisy cars, motorcycles or trucks, the bylaw sets 90 dB as the level for engine or exhaust noise or from stereos.

Noise limits would also apply to construction sites, with limits of 80 dB. That reading could be made at any location, apart from a con-struction site.

If council approves the draft, the bylaws department, as well as RCMP would have to get a decibel meter to get exact readings.

That could see police setting up check stops, as is done in Vancou-ver, with the aim of nabbing noisy bikes, bylaws director Liz Holitzki told Coun. Bob Masse.

That didn’t sit well with Coun. Judy Dueck, who said there are other things to be worked on.

According to police, most noise complaints involve noisy motor-cycles and loud music.

But big diesel pickup trucks that idle during mornings are just as bad, Dueck said at council’s Mon-day workshop.

“There’s a lot more noisy things out there than a motorcycle,” she added. “I can say the pickup diesels with the big dualies are way more noisy, to me, than a motorcycle,” said Dueck, who’s also a motorcy-

clist.The new times for running a lawn

mower bothered some, as well. Under the proposed bylaw, peo-

ple can’t start a lawn mower until 11 a.m. on Sundays and statutory holidays, and have to shut them down by 4 p.m.

Start and finish times for any other day of the week would be 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Further, any noise from equip-ment, garbage hauling or trans-portation would also be banned on Sundays and stat holidays. The same would go for power sprayers, hedge trimmers, leaf blowers and chainsaws.

Council, though, wants to change that section and allow such machinery between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Sundays.

Some people use lawn mowers in ongoing feuds with neighbours, but waiting until 11 a.m. is too re-strictive, said Coun. Cheryl Ashlie.

Most people want to get their chores over with during the morn-ing so they can get on with their day, added Dueck.

“I think we’ve got to take into account that most people work during the week,” added Coun. Al Hogarth.

Currently, lawn mowers can run

from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays and statutory holidays.

Coun. Michael Morden wanted more uniform hours so people can easily remember the regulations.

He agreed that the bylaws de-partment and police should have more than one decibel meter each in order to save staff time investi-gating complaints.

Holitzki told staff that any noise can affect health.

“Anything more than 90 decibels can be really damaging to your hearing.”

Coun. Corisa Bell suggested modernizing one of the words in the section dealing with cars and trucks, replacing “tape player” with “audio” player.

According to the Canadian Cen-tre for Occupational Health and Safety, a lawn mower produces 92 dB at a distance of one metre, while a passenger car produces a noise level of 65 dB.

Conversation, at a metre away, produces a 55 dB level, while a handheld circular saw produces 115 dB.

A revised version of the bylaw will go to a later council committee meeting.

Local educators are hoping for financial relief after the province was told by an all-party commit-tee to put more money into the education system.

“Duh,” was the reaction of Ma-ple Ridge Teachers’ Association president George Serra.

“The fat was trimmed years ago,” he said. “They can’t deny it anymore, the writing is on the wall.”

That “writing” Serra refers to comes from an all-party legisla-tive committee that has been con-sulting with British Columbians in advance of the 2014 budget. Of the 10 committee members, six were Liberals Party members, including chairman Dan Ashton.

“Sufficient evidence was pre-sented to the committee indicat-ing that the K-12 system is expe-riencing cost pressures as a result of inflation and aging school

facilities,” said the committee report. “The committee, there-fore, recommends that enough funding be provided to schools to meet rising costs and capi-tal needs while ensuring strong educational outcomes for B.C. students.”

The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district struggled with a 2013-2014 budget that had a $5.66 million shortfall, and cut 35 positions across the district. A higher-than-expected enrol-ment will bring in additional per pupil funding of approxi-mately $800,000, meaning the total shortfall will be just under $5 million.

On the other hand, CUPE em-ployees of the district have nego-tiated a wage increase of 3.5 per cent over two years, and even though it will cost approximate-ly $1 million, Victoria has told school boards that the money has to be found within existing bud-gets under the province’s Coop-erative Gains Mandate.

No new funds are coming, has been Victoria’s position.

Local school board chair Mike Murray said the Maple Ridge dis-

trict did not speak directly to the committee, but joined numerous trustees across the province who have been writing the education minister and lobbying for chang-es in fiscal policy.

“It would be great if we could get there as quickly as possible,” said Murray.

The all-party committee ap-peared to recognize that infla-tionary pressures have outpaced government funding as it rec-ommended: “Provide sufficient funding for the K-12 system to enable B.C. students to become top performers nationally; and address cost increases for school districts (e.g. rising B.C. Hydro rates).”

Aging facilities were also ad-dressed, as the committee ad-vised government to develop a capital plan for education build-ings which “takes into account increased maintenance and ag-ing school facility upgrades; and continue the seismic upgrading program.”

“It will be interesting to see what the response is,” said Serra. “The system needs increases yes-terday.”

Pilot dies in crash en route to Pitt airportBlack Press

The man who died in the plane crash Monday night in Abbotsford was immersed in the flying world.

Marty Lehner was a member of the Abbots-ford Flying Club (AFC), was on the board of di-rectors for the Abbots-ford Airshow, and was the B.C. dealer for Pip-istrel Aircraft based in Slovenia.

AFC vice-president Adrian Renkers said club members were devas-tated to learn about the death of Lehner, who was a valued addition to the close-knit group.

kind of person,” Renkers said.

He said Lehner regu-larly turned out for the AFC’s TGIF (Thank God It’s Friday) social gather-ings at its clubhouse at the Abbotsford Airport, as well as to breakfast on Sunday mornings, fol-lowed by a group flight.

Renkers described Lehner as a “very com-petent pilot” who was working on obtaining his instrument rating, which requires additional train-ing beyond what is re-quired for a private pilot certificate.

Renkers said Lehner owned four planes – a Cessna 150, a Cessna 180, a Piper Cub and a Pipistrel Virus SW 100.

Lehner, owner of a sprinkler i n s t a l l a t i o n company, was flying the Vi-rus – described as a light two-seater aircraft – on Monday afternoon, de-parting from Abbotsford Air-port en route to Pitt Meadows, where he was planning to view an-other plane for possible purchase, according to Renkers.

Lehner lost contact with the control tower, and an emergency beacon began sending a signal from northwest Abbotsford at about 4:30 p.m.

The aircraft was located

in a densely wooded area near a mush-room farm at about 9 p.m., and it was de-termined that the Lehner had likely clipped some power lines prior to crashing.

The Trans-portation Safety Board (TSB) is investigating the incident.

TSB spokesman Bill Yearwood said Lehner was given clearance to fly in Monday’s inclement weather, but soon after taking off, he informed the control tower that he was turning back due to the bad conditions.

Protestors challenged Canada’s federal government to create an economy that’s built to last, with energy that is clean, just and safe.

Gildersleeve said he hopes Conservative MP Kamp will take the message to Ottawa.

“There is a loud and growing voice saying this is not in our national interest.”

Kamp did not know what the protest was about, but added he respected their democratic right to voice their concerns peace-fully.

He defended his government’s environmental record and clari-fied a few facts for the protestors.

“The facts show that between 2000 and a decade later, that fed-erally regulated pipelines had a very good safety record, of what I’ve been told, 99.99 per cent,” said Kamp.

He added the “oil sands” cur-rently accounts for about 0.16 per cent or nearly 1/1000th of global emissions.

“Resource development is an important part of Canada’s economy,” said Kamp.

“We think it’s extremely re-sponsible resource develop-ment.”

Canada, however, has been awarded the “Fossil of the Year” award five times for its perceived inaction on climate change.

Meant to be a badge of shame, the award was shared with New Zealand in 2012.

Last week, Canada was award-ed a ‘Fossil of Disbelief ’ at a United Nations climate summit in Warsaw for its recent public support of Australia’s plans to repeal its climate legislation.

Kamp says the federal govern-ment believes you can do both - “develop resources and do it in a responsible way.”

As for taking the protestors concerns back to Ottawa, Kamp said they didn’t leave him any material.

“If they want to drop some-thing off, I’d be glad to read it,” he added.

A man who bit another man during a bar brawl in Pitt Meadows was sentenced last week to 90 days in prison.

Aaron Michael Kydd will serve the sen-tence intermittently on weekends.

Kydd, 31, was convicted in April of ag-gravated assault.

During a trial earlier this year, B.C. Supreme Court Justice James Williams

rejected Kydd’s claim of self-defence, finding him guilty of starting a fight that got him thrown out of Rooster’s Country Cabaret in December 2011. The court heard that the fight was sparked after Kydd took a beer from a table where Daniel Goodman-Bell and three of his friends were sitting. Kydd, a former gang associate, believed the beer be-longed to him and was surprised when a Goodman-Bell walked up to him and snatched the beer out of his hand.

The Maple Ridge Christmas Festival and parade are coming up, and more people are needed to fill the ranks of the small army of vol-unteers being recruited.

Putting on the Dec. 7 festival requires about 100 people, and many more are still needed. These people do things like set up barricades along the parade route, control traffic on the route, and set up tables and tents in the park – there are numerous jobs.

“We’re always looking

for volunteers, and we’re always looking for do-nations,” said the event chair Dianne Enns.

“We have grown to one of the largest night-time free events in west-ern Canada.”

Last year and estimat-ed 9,000 visitors came to the festival, and there were 45 entries in the parade. But it was a sog-gy night, and the year prior there were some 12,000 people, and 71 floats.

An orientation meet-ing will be held on Dec. 5, with volunteer orien-tation at 6:30 p.m. and parade orientation at

7:30 p.m. at the Maple Ridge library’s Fraser Room.

The festival runs from 4-8 p.m. in Memo-rial Peace Park (11925 Haney Pl.), and is re-markable in that every-thing is free. Parents can bring all their chil-dren for hot chocolate, smores, cookies, bal-loons and even family photos with Santa, all at no cost. There will also be hot dogs, by dona-tion.

There will be enter-tainment on the band-stand ranging from St. Patrick’s church choir to The Johnson Brothers

country act, a children’s craft tent, balloon ani-mals and other family-based entertainment.

The parade begins at 6 p.m., running through the downtown area, with most of the view-ing in the park.

Volunteers needed for Christmas festival

The Maple Ridge Christmas Festival

Many hikers have climbed ‘Mount Battery’ for it sweeping view of the

Lower Mainland.Actually named Alouette Moun-

tain, it is the rounded mountain to the east of the familiar ‘Golden Ears.’

This reference spot was chosen in 1929 by the Department of the Interior Geodetic Survey of Canada, along with two other control places on Mount Cheam and Brockton Point.

The large batteries that gave the mountain its name were carried there by pack horses to operate the bight light needed for the survey-ing project.

The batteries were left behind after the survey was done.

The 56th Alouettes (First Ham-mond Rover troop), led by the late Bud de Wolf, hiked to the top of this mountain in 1956 with ce-ment and supplies to erect a cairn on the survey site.

They returned in 1957 to build the cairn and place a copper plaque there, where it remains.

Three members of the troop – Tony Wanstall, Dick Middleton

and Ken Hemminger – went back again in 1958 to do remedial work on the cairn.

Over the years, winter weather and lightning damaged the cairn.

In August 1999, leaders from the First Haney Scout Troop – Jona-than Smyth and Jim Peck – took a group up the mountain to check on the cairn.

They had to camp lower down the mountain because of winter-like conditions and postponed repair work until October 2000.

The reconstruction of the cairn involved donations of mortar and

rebar from Haney Builders, while Prism Helicopters delivered the supplies – which was faster than doing so by horse.

First Haney Venturers Advi-sors and members conducted the repairs, and placed there a time capsule, containing badges, photos and historic details of the site and cairn.

Another day hike to the site took place on Aug. 31. The group of Venturers was led by Smyth, now commissioner of the First Haney Scouts.

The group left Mike Lake at 7 a.m., heading up the incline trail –a relic of the Abernethy and Lougheed Lumber Company railroad logging operation.

After a strenuous hike, the group spent 90 minutes at the top, cleaning and caulking damage on the cairn. This was followed by an investiture ceremony.

There are none of the original large batteries left behind after the 1929 trip. Smyth did find a small battery post, possibly leftover from that initial visit.

All the Scouts, Rovers and Ven-turers who have help care for the cairn hope others who visit there will read the plaque and examine the time capsule. They are a part of local history.

Metro Vancouver di-rectors will again urge the provincial govern-ment to continue the AirCare program, which is slated to be dismantled at the end of next year.

They voted at Thurs-day’s environment and parks committee meet-ing to draw up a new staff report that may offer up fresh ammuni-tion for preserving the tailpipe emission testing stations that force heav-ily polluting vehicles to get fixed.

“Whenever you go to a municipality or any-

place that doesn’t have AirCare you see vehicles with billowing smoke coming out, “ Pitt Mead-ows Mayor Deb Walters said.

“You really see how protected we are in the Lower Mainland with AirCare.”

Metro voted three years ago to support ex-tending AirCare until at least 2020, but that was rejected last year by the provincial govern-ment, which announced the program would be wound down at the end of 2014.

Vancouver Coun. Heather Deal, who chairs the committee, said she strongly sup-ports maintaining Air-Care because modern cars, despite much im-proved pollution con-trols, can still have emis-sion failures.

As of 2010, the failure rate at AirCare was 22.3 per cent for pre-1995 vehicles and 7.4 per cent for 1995-2003 vehicles (newer models are ex-empt from testing.)

Owners of older vehi-cles must pay $46 every two years for testing but lower fees are expected in the final year of the program.

The provincial govern-ment says air pollution from cars has declined as technology improves and the mandatory tests no longer provide the benefit they once did.

Also campaigning to keep AIrCare – and its 110 union jobs – are of-ficials with the B.C. Gov-ernment and Service Employees Union.

Union spokesperson Stephanie Smith pre-dicts a rise in pollution if the program is scrapped.

“We know light vehi-cles are the largest con-tributor to smog-pro-ducing pollutants as well as ground-level ozone,” she said.

A BCGEU-led report warns there could be significant backsliding as old smoke-belching vehicles are put back on the road and motorists neglect their cars’ emis-sion controls or even disable them to improve performance.

AirCare is run by TransLink but the $17.5-million annual cost of running testing centres is entirely borne by motorists through fees, so killing the pro-gram would not save TransLink or the gov-ernment any money.

Metro is also con-tinuing to push for an AirCare-like program to target heavy trucks.

AirCare defenders hope for reprieve Vehicle testing program set to be scrapped next year

Career fair for new to CanadaAfter three successful fairs in Toronto, Canadian Immigrant magazine and Scotiabank are proud to present their fourth Career, Education and Settlement Fair for newcomers to Canada, this time in Vancouver. The free, day-long immigrant expo will take place on Monday, Dec. 16, at the Vancouver Public Library, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.Every year, thousands of immigrants arrive in Metro Vancouver, with great ambitions for their family’s future. However, many of them face culture shock about the realities of Canadian living — from

continuing education to obtaining employment to getting settled into day-to-day life. The goal of the fair is to inform and motivate new Canadians as they begin and continue their settlement journey. It aims to provide essential information and tips on job hunting, accreditation, upgrading of education, settling in and more. There will be several interactive, speakers’ workshops led by experts in various fields of interest to new Canadians. Renowned diversity expert, former reporter and bestselling author Gobinder Gill will offer a keynote address on the “8 Key Steps to Getting Hired.”

VICTORIA – Sailing cuts are coming in April to most of B.C. Ferries’ minor and northern routes, as the corporation looks to save $18.9 million in the next two years.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone and B.C. Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan announced the reduc-tions Monday, along with a plan to begin charging seniors half pas-senger fares that are currently of-fered free from Monday to Thurs-day.

B.C. Ferries is also planning a pi-lot project with slot machines on the main routes from Vancouver Island to the mainland, to test the revenue potential. Fare increases of four per cent and 3.9 per cent are to go ahead in the next two years, but Stone said the goal is to hold future increases to the rate of inflation or less after that.

“We heard loud and clear from people in the coastal communi-ties … that fares cannot continue to escalate as they have, and peo-ple want the ferry service to be there,” Stone said.

Ferry reductions outlined by the ministry review will go ahead in next spring, after another round of consultations with coastal communities to look for schedule adjustments to make the remaining runs serve resi-dents as effectively as possible.

The route reductions, feedback

forms and a schedule of commu-nity meetings are posted at the review website (www.coastalfer-riesengagement.ca). There are no further reductions proposed for the main Vancouver Island runs, but Stone said the ministry’s tar-get is to find another $5 million in savings on those routes fol-lowing reductions last year to the Tsawwassen-Duke Point route.

The cancelled runs are mostly early morning or late evening, many with passenger loads of 20 per cent or less. The largest re-duction is a one-third cut to Port Hardy-Prince Rupert run, B.C. Ferries’ longest and most heavily subsidized service that lost $31 million on operations last year.

Other runs being cut include

Horseshoe Bay to Bowen Island, Comox to Powell River, Gabriola Island to Nanaimo and Quadra Island to Campbell River.

NDP ferry critic Claire Trevena said the service reductions will have an “outrageous impact” on communities such as Quadra Is-land where she lives.

“We’re already seeing people leaving communities because of the cost of the ferries,” Trevena said. “We’ve seen young fami-lies go, we’ve seen businesses in trouble, and this is just going to compound that.”

Long-term strategies include converting new ferries to natural gas fuel and exploring passenger-only private service to supple-ment B.C. Ferries sailings.

BC Ferries is preparing to reduce its total sailings by eight per cent, in response to rising costs and declining passenger levels.

The News/arts&lifeSection coordinator:Monisha Martins 604-467-1122 ext. [email protected]

Vancouver’s very own world-class illusionist, Vitaly Beckman, presents An Evening of Wonders at the ACT next month.

More than magic trickery, like someone who writes music, choreo-graphs a dance or scribes a play, Beck-man makes drawings of objects turn into the real deal, and he can even make a paintbrush paint all by itself.

“Some of my tricks tend to be more artistic, some tend to be more fun and entertaining, and some have a mes-sage behind them,” he says.

“The idea behind the show is to deliver the message that dreams can come true, and that something that looks impossible really isn’t impos-sible.”

Originally from Belarus, Beckman began practicing the art of illusion and magic at the age of 14.

All of the illusions, including mak-ing people disappear from ordinary

photographs and appear on another, are original, designed and invented by Beckman himself.

With the belief that we are only lim-ited by our own imagination, the au-dience experiences the sensation that nothing is impossible and celebrates the human spirit; the show is not just magic, it is mind-blowing.

• Vitaly Beckman will be at the ACT Sunday Dec. 1 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets at theactmapleridge.org.

Peninsula Productions stages Ariel Dorfman’s psychological thriller Death and the Maiden in White Rock next week.

Featuring Maple Ridge actor Ben Odberg, the play is set in Dorfman’s native Chile shortly after the restoration of democ-racy following the dark years of the Pinochet re-gime.

It tells the story of a married woman, Pau-lina Salas, who by chance comes face to face with the doctor she believes raped and tortured her when she was held as a prisoner. The play ques-tions democracy, justice and our role within it. If given the opportunity for vengeance and the power to exact justice, would we behave any differently

than our oppressors? The production team

at Peninsula Productions has chosen to stage the play in a non-theatrical space.

“The play is very raw,” says the show’s director Wendy Bollard, “and we have chosen to stay true to Mr. Dorfman’s vision and present it in a very intimate way.”

The original produc-tion of Death and the

Maiden was staged at the Royal Court Theatre in London to an audience of 60 people per evening. The play went on to be performed around the world and win numer-ous awards. Peninsula Productions has brought together a top-notch team of actors for its pro-duction. Odberg, who plays Gerardo, and White Rock’s Lori Tych, who plays Paulina, were last

seen in July as the stars of The Game’s Afoot.

Guy Fauchon, who plays Roberto, grew up in White Rock and is now a professional Vancouver actor.

• Death and The Maiden plays Nov. 26 to Nov. 30 at 8 p.m. at the Semiahmoo Arts cen-tre, 14600 North Bluff Road, White Rock. Tickets at peninsula-productions.org.

The Ridge Meadows Flames got a late field goal to down the North Delta Devils 10-7 in a hockey game with a football score on Friday

night.Scoring leader Marco Balla-

rin had three goals and three assists for the local junior B team, and moved into 10th place in scoring in the Pacific International Junior Hockey

League with 25 points (13 goals) in 19 games.

It was points night for sev-eral Flames: Dale Howell, a goal and four assists; Boston Colley, two goals and two as-sists; Danny Wilson, three

assists; Grant Rostvig, two goals; captain Travis Oddy, a goal and an assist; and Shawn Tilton, a goal.

Goaltender Tyler Read al-lowed six goals on 23 shots, then Kurt Klimek came into

the game and stopped six of seven to get the win.

Ridge led 3-0 after first, but North Delta tied the game six minutes into the second, and the score was tied 6-6 af-ter two periods. Ridge then came out and got four unan-swered goals.

The Flames now have six wins, 11 losses, two overtime losses and a tie in a league

that does not settle scores with a shootout.

This weekend, the Flames have a pair of home games.

Ridge hosts the North Van-couver Wolf Pack, the fifth-place team in the 10-team league, on Friday night at Planet Ice, at 7:30 p.m.

On Saturday, they will host the second-place Abbotsford Pilots in a 7:45 p.m. start.

In one of the team’s most lopsided wins in recent memory, if not all time, the Ridge Meadows Bruins defeated Richmond 90-21 in shield play on Saturday at Thomas Haney secondary.

Scoring even half of that many points would be impressive, especially considering that the Bruins had yet to win a game all season. They had just a tie in seven outgins.

But Saturday’s route was like a passing drill for the talented group of Bruins backs, who ran like thoroughbreds past the clydesdales of the Richmond team.

Juian Benvenuti started the scoring with an impressive scoring run, as he got his first of three tries on the day, and inspired his team-mates.

“They’ve started to come together as a team really well,” said Callum McIntosh, club presi-dent, who expects to see some consistently good results.

“There’s a lot of good individuals, but they’ve started to come together as a team.”

Nobody could recall a more lopsided vic-tory.

“It’s definitely one of the best wins the men have ever had,” agreed coach Malcolm Knox.

He said the Bruins have suffered through a losing season despite numerous good efforts, and despite having a skilled and hard-work-ing team. Then, in one game, everything went right.

“A lot of frustration was taken out on the opposition,” said Knox. “It’s been a long time coming.”

“It was a barrage of good scoring. Every-body had a really good game.”

The 90 points in the playoff game exceeded 84 from the previous seven-game fall season.

Watching them on Saturday, it was a wonder that they hadn’t been stringing together wins all year, said Knox.

“Their technical game is really sound.” With the win, the Bruins move on the play

UBC on Saturday in the sheild final. The uni-versity side will be young and fit – like the Bruins – and present a different challenge to the Ridge boys.

“It should be a lot of fun,” said McIntosh.

“They should be younger and faster and wanting to move the ball into space, and not just grind it out. It should be a good test.”

Their final game will be played Saturday at 11:30 a.m. at Klahanie Park.

• The Bruins women will begin their play-offs this weekend, after a season with four wins and three losses. They are coming off a 31-0 win over United Rugby Cub – the team that beat them in the spring league final.

A one-time MRSS Ram-bler is going to be a leader with the University of San Diego women’s basketball team this season.

The Toreros are 3-0 to start their NCAA hoops campaign, and Felicia Wijenberg is a big part of their success.

She led the team in a 61-53 victory over the Arizona State University Sun Devils on Wednes-day, as Wijenberg scored a game-high 15 points on four-of-six shooting from the field. She also pulled down eight re-bounds, and was named player of the game.

It was a great offensive outburst from Wijen-berg, who averaged seven points per game last sea-son, and five the year be-fore that.

In the first game of the season against North-ern Colorado, Wijen-berg had 11 points and eight rebounds in just 19 minutes of play. She was forced to sit out for most of the first half because she picked up her second foul less than four min-utes into the game.

In their most recent game on Monday night, the Toreros beat cross-town rival San Diego State University 48-45 in a non-conference game at the Viejas Arena in San Diego.

Toreros coach Cindy Fisher praiser her team’s rebounding, and Wijen-berg was at the centre of that, leading the team with 10 boards, while also scoring six points and blocking a shot. In a big rivalry game, she was second on the team in playing time, with 36 minutes on the floor.

With that win the Tore-ros improve to 3-0 over-all for the first time since

the 2006-07 season. The team, and Wijenberg, ap-pear poised for an excit-ing season.

San Diego begins its

regular season in the West Coast Conference on Dec. 28 when they play Pepperdine in San Diego.
