LRB upholds decision of
Pitt Meadows employer
by Phi l M elnyc h u k
staff reporter

The firing of two employees who

lost their jobs because of their rants
on Facebook has been upheld by the
B.C. Labour Relations Board.
Board vice-chair Allison Ma-
tacheskie upheld the firings of two
workers from West Coast Detail and
Accessory Centre in Pitt Meadows,
saying their postings had the same ef-
fect as saying them in the workplace.
The United Food and Commercial
Workers International Union chal-
lenged the dismissals, saying they
were partly motivated by anti-union
sentiment because of a union certifi-
cation drive underway at the shop at
the time.
Two employees, identified as J. T. Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS
and A. P., were friends on Facebook,
along with F.Y., their manager in the New intersection

Asante Centre marks 10 years
But number of children
with FAD remains steady
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter
I
n a perfect world, Dr. Kwadwo
Asante would be unemployed.
As founder of the Asante
Centre for Fetal Alcohol Syn-
drome in downtown Maple Ridge,
Asante, a pediatrician, has diag-
nosed hundreds, if not thousands
of cases of fetal alcohol syndrome,
or FAS.
The condition is as devastating
as it is preventable, and perhaps
one day there will be no use for his
services.
But that day has not yet come.
The Asante Centre turned 10
years old in September, and de-
spite the best efforts of Asante and
countless others in his field to raise
awareness about the dangers of
drinking alcohol while pregnant, he
has seen no decrease in the number
of children affected by FAS.
“There is still so little understand-
ing out there,” he said. “We are still
being asked the most basic ques-
tions.”
What is understood is that alco-
hol, when consumed while preg-
nant, causes brain injury to the
fetus. It is not known how much a
pregnant woman can drink before
damage is done to an unborn child,
but the only safe amount is zero,
says Asante.
“Drinking during pregnancy is
like playing Russian roulette with
your child’s health,” he says.
And the effects can be just as dev-
astating.
FAS causes physical deformities
to the face and stunts growth, and
results in low birth weight. It can
significantly lower a child’s IQ,
and cause poor memory, as well as
behavioural problems like impul-
sivity, short attention span, oppo-
sitional or defiant behaviour, and
poor social skills.
“They learn slowly, things need to
be respected and explained in very
literal terms,” Asante says. “They
have difficulty understanding ab-
stract concepts.”
Asante first encountered FAS
in early 1970s while working in
Northern B.C. and the Yukon Ter-
ritory. He noticed a large number
of the children he was treating had
developmental difficulties, but did
not realize the cause of the problem
until 1973, when researchers at the
University of Washington in Seattle
published the first study identifying
alcohol as being capable of causing
birth defects.
In the 1980s, Asante himself con-
ducted a study that looked at the
causes behind children who were
experiencing developmental prob-
lems, such as growth problems,

The centre founded by Dr. Kwadwo Asante helped spawn about a half dozen others in B.C.
learning disabilities, and behaviour
issues.
“All the children we looked at had
a failure to thrive,” he says.
Of the children who were recog-
nized as having developmental dif-
ficulties, alcohol was involved in 59
per cent of the pregnancies, and 30
per cent of the children were diag-
nosed with FAS.
In the past 10 years, the term Fetal
Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)
has emerged as an umbrella term
to describe not only FAS, but other
developmental problems associated
with pregnant drinking.
But because FAS is a brain
injury, it cannot be fixed.
Recent studies have found that
close to 25 per cent of pretrial pris-
oners had fetal alcohol exposure.
Reducing pregnant drinking could
have dramatic effects on future
crime rates, Asante said.
“This is what trips them in life,”
he added. “They get in to drugs,
fighting, trouble with the law, but
they are not bad people, they have
a brain injury.”
But because FAS is a brain injury,
it cannot be fixed.
“The disability never gets better,”
says Audrey Salahub, the execu-
tive director for the Asante Centre.
“You can’t change it, all you can do
is work with it.”
She and Asante founded the cen-

tre together in 2000, after her ad-
opted son was diagnosed with FAS
seven years earlier at the age of 13.
“It was the first time in 13 years
we understood why he was strug-
gling,” she says of learning his di-
agnosis.
However, Salahub soon realized
that there were no services avail-
able for her son.
Salahub and Asante began work-
ing together to help fill in the gaps
by providing assessments and
support services for children and
adults with FAS.
Initially funded by the Ministry of
Children and Family Development,
as well as the Maple Ridge Commu-
nity Foundation and School District
No. 42, the Asante Centre conducts
100 to 110 assessments every year,
and helped pioneer a multidisci-
plinary approach to FAS, incorpo-
rating pediatricians, psychologists
and speech pathologists.
One of the major functions of the
centre is to bring together all the
important people in an FAS suffer-
ers life – be it teachers, social work-
ers, or probation officers – and help
them learn to communicate with
that person.
Asante says the centre strives
to create a non-judgemental at-
mosphere for mothers of children
with FAS.
“We cannot change what hap-
pened,” he says. “We try to support
all women and families. It’s in the
best interest of the children.”
School board trustee Dave Rem-
pel says the work the centre does is
critical for the community.

“[The Asante Centre] fulfills a
specific need in our overall health
services,” he says. “Their contribu-
tions are very needed.”
Rempel founded the Canadian-
C.I.S. Friendship Exchange Society,
which places Russian and Kazakh
orphans with Canadian families,
and says FAS is a major concern.
“Dr. Asante has been involved,
and helped [the children] get the
services they need,” Rempel says.
The Asante Centre was the first
clinic specializing in FAS in B.C.
when it opened 10 years ago, and
has since helped to spawn around a
half dozen more centres across the
province. The Maple Ridge centre
recently launched an online store
called Minga Marketplace, which
provides a one-stop source for FAS
resources, available to parents and
professionals worldwide.
However, funding has been hard
to come by for those attempting to
study FAS.
“Because we are talking about
alcohol, which is so accepted in
society, it is difficult for us to get
funding,” says Asante. “The alco-
hol industry doesn’t look favour-
ably on [FAS research] because it
makes their product look danger-
ous.”
He believes problems with FAS
and FASD are far more prevalent
than people realize. Children who
are written off as being lazy or
slow, may in fact have a brain in-
jury.
“What we see is the tip of the
iceberg,” says Asante. “There are
many more who aren’t diagnosed.”

Dalton
doubts HST
will survive
Premier from front
He mentioned Rich Coleman or
Surrey Mayor Diane Watts as two
contenders for the Liberal leader-
ship.
“I think they deserve some time
in opposition. They’ve earned every
inch of it.
“His inability to address child pov-
erty in this province is absolutely
horrible,” and having the lowest
minimum wage ($8 an hour) in the
country “is nothing to brag about.”
He said Campbell followed the
same approach as Prime Minister
Stephen Harper in having all deci-
sion making come from his office.
That shows he doesn’t trust those
around him, Speirs said.
He said he wasn’t surprised by the
resignation, especially after Camp-
bell’s appearance on TV a week ago
announcing an income tax cut.
“Everybody is fed up with this
group and I think they should just
be shuffled off to Buffalo, as the old
saying goes.”
Speirs, who lives in Maple Ridge-
Mission, said if the HST had been on
the table during the May 2009 elec-
tion, longtime local NDP candidate
Mike Bocking would have won the
election, rather than Liberal Marc
Dalton, who won by 68 votes.
The riding is on one of those tar-
geted by the Fight HST group for
a recall campaign. At last count,
Maple Ridge had the eighth largest
number of volunteers signed up in
the province, at 111.
The top three ridings with the
most volunteer canvassers on Nov.
15 will be the first to launch the MLA
recall process.
Dalton said Campbell quit because
he realized he was a drag on the par-
ty and said even the announcement
of a 15-per-cent personal income tax
cut last week had no effect on the
public mood.
“Still – the focus was on him. I
think it was a necessary decision.”
He said a new leader will be cho-
sen in the new year and have a cou-
ple of years as premier before the
2013 election. That could be healthy
for the party and the province, he
added.
Dalton said he didn’t know if Camp-
bell’s leaving will make it easier for
the HST to survive next September’s
referendum. But with a poll showing
a 75-per-cent disapproval rating for
the HST, “My look at it is, that’s not
likely to pass or it’s going to be dif-
ficult for this to be implemented.”
The B.C. Liberal Party conven-
tion that was scheduled to begin
Nov. 19 in Penticton, will be re-
scheduled to accommodate the
leadership process.

News Views Ingrid Rice

Gordo’s time was up
Gordon Campbell surprised many on Wednesday
by resigning as premier.
The announcement came just a week after his
televised mea culpa on the HST and introduction
of a 15 per cent personal income tax cut. That fol-
lowed a minor cabinet shuffle, so there were signs
that not all was right within the Liberal party.
However, while public opinion polls put Camp-
bell’s popularity at nine per cent, support for him
within the party, according to a recent Liberal
endorsement ballot, was 84 per cent.
But even Campbell admitted, public debate had
become too focused on him. He lost the people’s
trust.
Most of that had to do with the introduction of the
HST just after the last provincial election. Adding
the carbon tax, on Canada Day, no less, didn’t help
either, no matter how much ecological or economic
sense both taxes make.
Both will form a large part of his legacy, as will
the 2010 Winter Olympics, aboriginal treaties
and the Canada Line, removing the toll from the
Coquihalla Highway, improvements to the Sea Sky
Highway, construction of the Golden Ears Bridge.
He helped navigate B.C. through one of the worst
economic recessions in memory, not to mention
how he stickhandled around the B.C. rail scandal,
and a drunk driving charge.
He was elected premier three times.
Yet, in the end, no one believed that he never
considered bringing in the HST until after being
re-elected last time.
So Campbell followed the lead of other great lead-
ers, and sacrificed himself for the good of the party,
at a time when the opposition is also questioning
its leadership.
There’s nothing like a leadership race to rekindle
interest and support for a party that’s down in the

EDITOR, THE NEWS:
Re: Big box ruled out in Albion (The News, Oct. 27).
A majority voted against big box stores in the Albion
flats? Majority of what? Those who packed one meet-
ing in a process?
This reminds me of the distorting TV polls that con-
fidently announce a majority voted for this or that.
Such polls only reflect the wishes of those who actu-
ally phone in and may entirely misrepresent the larger
general population.
How about polling the larger population of east Maple
Ridge, those directly affected by this ongoing problem
of insufficient local shopping outlets.
How about polling all who are so tired of the long
drive to Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam and Langley to
shop and who would rather spend their dollars locally
if there were the suitable large retail outlets that we all
look for (Costco, Walmart, Home Depot, Future Shop,
and so on).
I am certain, as the past poll of the entire community
showed that a clear majority (I believe it was 70 per
cent) wants large retail outlets in the Albion flats.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:
Re: Waste of tax dollars (Letters, Oct. 27).
As a resident of Maple Ridge since 1946 and a real-
tor within the community since 1972, I was pleased to
contribute some of my time to the charette planning
process for the Albion flats.
In preparation for the two-day charette process, I
downloaded and read the eight recently-prepared
background papers that were made available to the
public on the municipal website and, on another morn-
ing, walked the entire site to re-familiarize myself with
specific parts of the flats.
During the charette process we reviewed existing,
real site constraints – the flood plain, the Agricultural
Land Reserve, Spencer Creek (fisheries) – to show that
the outcome of a plan that would be acceptable to the
various levels of government and public authorities
would be very restrictive.
Representatives for various community groups
were present at the interactive meeting and put forth
thoughtful, logical, and respectful ideas to further the
planning process.
One member of the charette, however, stated that the
entire process was a waste of time and proceeded to
insult the input that was provided by many of the citi-
zens who were present.
Next time, I hope this individual comes prepared to
add meaningful and thoughtful ideas that will better
our community rather than spew insults and vindic-
tive words.

he downtown
core invari-
ably slides
onto the radar
screen whenever
Albion is discussed.
Seven years ago,
the director of
planning threw a
bucket of cold wa-
ter on our Albion
vision because it
would detract from Commentary
development in the Rod Gruzelier
downtown core.
These things take
time, but seven years later, we have
a few benches, some paving and new
sidewalks. The new bank on 224th
Street and Lougheed Highway is great
(not my favorite use for an urban cor-
ner, but they did a good job of it). The
Zellers mall has not moved an inch
and still sits on an unrealized opportu-
nity in such a strategic location.
Obviously, we have not been able to
attract the type of development that
would invigorate the downtown. The
moribund economy has something to
do with it, although most of the Lower
Mainland has shown substantial
growth over the last few years.
Not involved in the details of the Dis-
trict of Maple Ridge planning strategy,
I can only express my perception of
what is happening or the lack thereof.
Back in the late ’70s and early ’80s, I
was involved with both Metrotown and
Coquitlam town centre as an urban
designer and watched the dynam-
ics of both these municipalities deal
with their ambitions according to the
GVR’s plan of the 7 Town Centres, of
which Maple Ridge is one. Burnaby
went for high density residential,
then built the mall. Coquitlam did the
opposite.
In Metrotown, we had hoped to
create a new core with open streets,
but could not get the three owners
to agree, so they each built their own
parallel malls. It took decades before
the three were consolidated into one
massive mall, with little soul. I’m sure
the centre’s owners are happy with
its performance, but crime is rampant
and it has no resemblance to a town
centre – just a big mall.
Coquitlam will be far more success-
ful as an urban environment. Lessons
to be learned.
High hopes now hinge on the two
new bridges, but which sides will
benefit? Port Coquitlam is moving fast
on the west side of the Pitt River, as
is Langley. What’s happening on our
side?
Which brings us to the Pelton
lands. The issue of the agricultural
lands is sensitive, but, good grief, if
there were lands ideally suited for a
comprehensive development so close
to the Golden Ears interchange and
access to the Trans Canada Highway
and I5, services and housing while still
maintaining some agricultural land,
then there’s the industrial lands in the
never-never lands in the north-east
sector. Such inconsistencies.
Downtowns have had their centre
of gravity change as new neighbour-
hoods develop and compete. This is
what creates different character areas
and richness of a city. In this regard,
we should do the best we can with
Albion and seize the opportunity to
develop a waterfront village to anchor
and support a re-invented industrial
lands. It will only ultimately reinforce
the need for downtown development.
It seems that the district should do a
lot more to attract development in its
core by giving incentives to encourage
land owners to invest in their commu-
nity and not sit in the belief that it will
be worth a lot more in 20 years.
From an urban design point of view,
the current context of the downtown
could not be a better canvas to work
on. As an urban designer, I could only
salivate at the prospect.
If images would help in visualizing
what could happen in the downtown
core, go and visit Park Royal Vil-
lage. It is a very clever blend of big to
medium box retail and sidewalk cafés
and would be perfectly suited to Maple
Ridge. This is an example of what
we should be striving for, at the very
least.
I could very well imagine some high
density residential along with this.
This will give Meadowtown a run for
its money, with its ’70s style shopping
centre. This is not the example to fol-
low – no sense of place, no social stage,
whatsoever.
You have a tremendous opportunity
here in your own downtown. Let’s en-
courage it. Developers should be cho-
sen carefully and avoid being pushed
into doing something you don’t want
for expedience sake.
However, I believe the most pressing
issue that needs continuing efforts is
public transportation. It is imperative
that a light rail system run from the
future Evergreen Line in Coquitlam
to Maple Ridge. This should be done
at the same time so as to be opera-
tional as soon as the Evergreen line is
completed. The new Pitt River Bridge
is great, but the lines of traffic remain
the same. We’ve just moved the bottle
neck down the way.
The West Coast Express should also
be given more opportunities to expand
service, both in number of trains
through the day, but also to service
Abbotsford.
Metrotown developed with such
speed only through the new SkyTrain
as opposed to Coquitlam, which was
not served by this mass transit system.
Transit and job creation are the key
to Maple Ridge sustainable growth.
Growth downtown will be very slow
until both the above are addressed.
Maple Ridge needs to send a mes-
sage of sustainable growth to the
development world, be clear on which
ag lands to keep and which are more
important to creating jobs in the right
locations, curbing subdivisions in
outlying areas (urban reserve) and
infilling with higher density mixed use
developments.
“This will give Meadowtown
a run for its money, with its
’70s style shopping centre.”
We should also not just aim at the
bottom end of the market. I’m sure
there are a number of people, includ-
ing empty nesters, semi retirees, that
would welcome some higher-end, well-
designed townhomes (I for one, but
there’s nothing out there).
I’ll save my bit about a central water-
front and connecting to the river for
another day.
We need to imagine what this mu-
nicipality might look like in, say, 75
years, that is to say making recom-
mendations that are completely void
of self interest and politics, a purely
unselfish view of what we would wish
for our future generations.
It is impossible to please everyone
when certain decisions are made when
they concern the community as a
whole.

Under the sweeping im-
provements contained in
the New Veterans Charter,
the Disability Award is only
one piece of the ongoing fi-
nancial support available to
Canadian Forces personnel,
veterans and their families.
In fact, the sole intent of
the lump-sum payment is to
recognize and compensate
these men and women for
the non-economic impact
(the pain and loss) of an in-
jury or illness.
There are a variety of
other financial supports to
address the ongoing eco-
nomic impact of an injury or
illness.
The most common finan-
cial assistance is the month-
ly Earnings Loss benefit,
which ensures eligible vet-
erans receive 75 per cent of
their pre-release salary.
Our government recogniz-
es, however, that there are
still some gaps in the New
Veterans Charter. That is
why we recently announced
more than $2 billion in new
investments to relieve the
hardships faced by our most
seriously ill or injured men
and women and to make
sure ill and injured veterans
have an adequate monthly
income. With these latest
improvements, our most se-
riously injured veterans will
receive a minimum of $58,000
a year.
It is important to me that
Canadians know their gov-
ernment is committed to
making sure our nation’s he-
roes have the support they
need, when they need it.

National symbol on guard at legion

by Phi l M elnyc h u k
staff reporter

The Spirit of Wood that

saw carvings decorate
Pitt Meadows and Maple
Ridge public spaces last
year is continuing on in
the form of a big maple
leaf that will rest per-
manently outside Maple
Ridge Branch 88 of the
Royal Canadian Legion.
The cedar sculpture,
which will stand almost
a metre high, is a result
of the carving efforts of
many – from kids at the
youth centre, seniors
at the seniors centre to
veterans at the legion, all
under the watchful eye
of master carver Doug
Morrison.
A noon-hour dedica-
tion ceremony this Sun-
day will see the complete
carving unveiled and
permanently installed
just outside the legion
doors on 224th Street.
“It’s basically showing
a First World War sol-
dier and then there’s a
tribute to the three ser-
vices [army, navy and air
force],” explained legion
president Jim MacDon-
ald.
A flowing ribbon across
the bottom features the
three flags (Union Jack,
The cedar sculpture depicts a First World War solider, a destroyer and artillery gun.
Red Ensign and Maple
Leaf), under which the
forces have fought in the
last century.
Images of a Churchill
tank (from the Second
World War) a Canadian
destroyer, an artillery
gun and a Spitfire fighter
plane are in the middle of
carving.
“These are all carved in
relief,” MacDonald said.
The idea for the sculp-
ture came from an
anonymous donor who
offered $2,000 for the
project, provided it com-
memorate the Canadian
war effort.
That was matched by
the same amount by
fundraising by the foun-
dation, and a $500 dona-
tion from the Youth Cen-
tre Society for buying the
wood.
The design for the
sculpture was a joint ef-
fort between legion mem-
bers, artist Eric Muller,
carver Morrison, Coun.
Cheryl Ashlie and Maple
Ridge Museum curator
Val Patenaude.
Public art projects are
one of the ways the foun-
dation, which raises and
manages scholarships
for local youth, raises its
profile, Ashlie explained.
She’s not worried about
Contributed
the sculpture falling vic-
tim to vandalism. It will
be in a visible spot with
lots of pedestrians.
“Traditionally, art is
not usually touched.”
Taggers or graffiti spray-
ers are usually artists
and leave other art alone,
she added.
“We just hope people
show the proper respect
for the intent of what it
is,” said MacDonald.
But he notes memorial
wreaths laid at the ceno-
taph, even days after
Remembrance Day, are
never touched. “It’s the
most amazing phenom-
enon.”

The hiring will fill a gap
left by Dean Barbour, who
resigned last summer. Since
then, accountant Terry Clark

The new website is ready

Meanwhile, chamber mem-

by 10 per cent next year. It
currently sits at about 650.
The chamber wants to use
the website to provide a ser-

"We're putting on all the

Bekar said the new exec-

place by early in the new
year.
He said since the Golden
Ears Bridge opened in July
2009, Langley businesses
have been taking out mem-
bership.
"We're doing a lot more

The chamber has also re-
viewed its policies and its
goals and found that many
of its achievements weren't
being communicated to its
members.
A chamber release said
nomination committee chair-

A lot of love can fit in a tiny shoe box PUBLIC NOTICE
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter
F
or Beth Reynolds,
her trip to Nicara-
gua last April was
a trip of a lifetime. For
many of the children she
met during her nine-day
stay, the experience was
equally memorable.
The Maple Ridge resi-
dent travelled to the
Central American coun-
try as part of Opera-
tion Christmas Child to
distribute donated gift-
filled shoeboxes to the
impoverished children
there.
For many of the chil-
dren, it was their first
time receiving a Christ-
mas present, albeit four
months late.
“These children have
nothing,” she says. “To
see their faces light up,
it’s just amazing.”
Reynolds’ group dis-
tributed more than
3,000 shoeboxes full of
toy trucks, dolls, soccer
balls, school supplies,
and candy.
In a place where the
average family lives
off close to $2 per day,
and many survive on
little more than rice and
beans, a little goes a
long way, she says.
A typical home was
nothing more than a
room with a dirt floor,
with perhaps three or
four people sharing a
bed, and an open sewer
running a few feet from
of the front door.
The children living at
the orphanages had a
slightly better lot in life.
“They had clothes and
food, and relatively de-
cent accommodations,”

Pitt Meadows farmer says jobs
exported along with berries
by P hi l M e l nych uk
staff reporter
S
teve and Stewart Robinson are
doing OK in the competitive
food and farming business. But
after growing blueberries and cran-
berries for 15 years, the brothers are
taking the next step and moving up
the food chain – into the retail mar-
ket.
Soon, instead of shipping dried
and frozen berries from their Pitt
Meadows fields, the red and blue
fruit will be coated in chocolate
and yogurt and packed in snack-
sized bags for sale in local grocery
stores.
Given increasing competition as
a berry supplier, retailing the pro-
duce is another option that will
yield more income.
“The future is, unless you’re tak-
ing your product to the consumers’
hands, you’re out of luck,” Steve
says.
But going retail, rather than bulk
freezing and drying, requires more
attention to detail and quality.
So instead of using a beater-type
machine that knocks the cranber-
ries from the bushes, the Robinsons
tried a new technology, just brought
up from the U.S.
It’s called a Ruby slipper and it’s
towed behind a tractor, and instead
of thrashing the cranberries off
the low-growing bushes, steel rods
gently scrape off the berries with-
out bruising or crushing them. The
gadget also reduces the amount of
vines and leaves that get mixed in
with the berries.
“What drove us to this wasn’t to
speed up the operation, what drove
us was lower fruit quality,” with the
old machinery, Steve said.
The price of the device is reason-
able too, about $9,000. The Robin-
son’s figure there’s only one other
of its type in the Lower Mainland.
“It’s way quicker,” he said.
“Fruit quality is absolutely every-
thing. Quality drives everything we
do.”

Steve Robinson is rolling out The Berry Boys snacks – cranberries and blueberries, covered in chocolate and yogurt – with the aid
of new farming equipment to ensure a better quality fruit.
So far, it’s working well, allowing
the farm to produce high-quality
fruit, which it then freezes or dries,
some of which will go directly on to
supermarket shelves.
While most Pitt Meadows growers
just harvest the berries, then ship
them elsewhere for processing, the
tonnes grown by the Berry Boys are
washed, rinsed, dried, sorted, boxed
and frozen at their 25,000-sq.-foot Pa-
cific Canadian Fruit Packers plant in
Pitt Meadows. During harvest time,
that accounts for 30 jobs, scaled back
to 15 in the winter.
Which raises a major issue for
Steve, who also co-owns Pitt Mead-
ows Plumbing with his other broth-

ers.
Where is the food processing in
Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge?
“People don’t realize the amount
of jobs. The amount of jobs there is
mind-boggling. Where are the jobs?”
he asks of other farms.
“We need to be processing out
here. That’s where all the jobs are.”
Not only does processing pro-
vide jobs handling the berries, but
tradesmen and maintenance people
are employed to keep the machinery
running, he points out.
“We look at the forestry in B.C. and
say, that’s what we don’t want to be-
come.”
Instead of exporting the raw prod-
uct, the food processing should be
done here.
“It’s a huge amount of added input
that gets spent in the community.”
At the Pacific Canadian Fruit Pack-
ers plant, the machinery is state of
the art. Rather than completely re-
lying on manually sorting the ber-
ries for ripeness and colour, a laser
sorter shoots a beam of light at each
berry, decides whether it belongs in
the discard pile, and if it does, a jet
of air sends the berry to the right

channel.
While most Pitt Meadows fields
have already been harvested, Pa-
cific Canadian Fruit doesn’t take the
berries until late October to ensure
they’re as ripe as possible. With
B.C.’s shorter, cooler summers and
warmer falls, it’s more difficult to
get cranberries bright red.
During a tour, Steve’s daughters
and their children follow along, ea-
ger to look at the new machine and
check out the harvest. But he’s not
optimistic about passing the busi-
ness along.
It’s not something he’d recom-
mend to the next generation. It’s
already difficult to get workers, for
example, who can commit to work-
ing all weekend while harvest is un-
derway.
That will become even more of a
challenge if anyone decided to con-
tinue on the business, he explained.
The next generation of farmers
has to emphasize the entrepreneur-
ial aspect of the business, he added.
Robinson said governments need
to develop a plan and commitment
to local food production and food
processing.

Canadian Tire Signs

Five-Year Deal
Becoming Official
Sporting Goods
Retailer of NHL
Canadian Tire, Canada’s largest
hockey retailer, and the National
Hockey League today announced that
Canadian Tire has signed a partner-
ship agreement with the NHL® to
become the League’s Official Sporting
Goods Retailer of the NHL in Canada.
The agreement includes a hat trick of
exciting announcements: a five-year
NHL partnership, the launch of the
NHL-powered Canadian Tire Hockey
School (CTHS) and the naming of
Stanley Cup winner and Olympic
Gold Medalist Jonathan Toews as
CTHS founding member and official
spokesperson.
“As Canada’s largest retailer
of sporting equipment and a
brand steeped in Canadian

Over
the past
90 years,
we’ve equipped
millions of
first-time
hockey players,
like Jonathan
Toews, from head
to toe,” said Mike
Arnett, President of
Canadian Tire Retail.
Further develop-
ing a grassroots
connection in Canadian
communities, Canadian
Tire will launch
the Canadian Tire
Hockey School NHL
Skills Camps. These unique
camps will provide Canadian minor
hockey players the opportunity to
develop and grow their skills through
on and off ice skill development ses-
sions led by experienced NHL hockey
experts, with appearances
by NHL alumni and
coaches. In addition to
becoming an Official
NHL Partner in Canada, Canadian
Tire will now be designated as an
Official Partner of the NHL Heritage
Classic™, NHL All-Star Game, Stan-
ley Cup® Playoffs, Stanley Cup Final
and NHL Face-Off™.

her talent.
“I gave up about six months
of my life,” she says of what she
went through to land the scholar-
ship. “It was a lot of work, but you
get what you put into it.”
Stanley put together a video
highlight package of her in game
action, as well as a taped inter-
as possible.
In the end, she had six schools
knocking on her door, each offer-
ing her scholarships.
“She is driven,” says Pitt Mead-

in everything that she does, and
it shows on the field.”

In addition to playing for the

both on the soccer pitch

Stanley recently accepted a lu-
crative scholarship to New Mex-
ico Highlands University, where
she will study business next year
and play for the school’s women’s
soccer team, a testament to her
view of her talking about her
goals and dreams. She sent hun-
dreds of emails and whenever she
would play a soccer tournament,
she would contact all the nearby
university soccer coaches so they
could scout her.
Stanley even wrote her SAT
exams a year early, and made
sure to keep her grades as high
goes after the ball, he says, and
does almost anything to win.
“She’s very competitive, and a
huge asset to our team,” Oldridge
says. “She’s got the talent to play
at the next level, that’s for sure.”
As a centre midfielder, Stanley
was an instrumental part of the

Stanley’s scholarship, which is
not normally awarded to interna-

Be fit to ski before you ski to be fit
H
ere in the Lower Mainland we
have recently been experienc-
ing temperatures in the mid-
teens with some warm sunny days. Not other athletes.
the kind of weather that makes you
think about alpine skiing.
But if you are an avid skier,
or even a recreational skier,
who normally would start
making the long treks into
the mountains in mid to late
December, now is the time to
start an exercise routine.
This will give you a good six
weeks or more for your body
to adapt and change so that
you are fit for the slopes. And
if you normally ski the North Kinected
Shore mountains, don’t worry Kerry Senchyna
about the potential lack of
snow in December, we can
now truck it in from Manning Park.
For downhill skiers, a sport-specific
exercise routine is an essential part
of an overall ski training program.
It will not only allow you to perform
at a superior level, it’s an important
preventative measure to protect joints
and connective tissue from injury.
The most susceptible time for skiers
to be injured is when they are fatigued
and loose balance or coordination
allowing ski tips to cross. Being fitter
and stronger reduces susceptibil-
ity to fatigue and improves balance.
Snowboarding, while not identical to
traditional a downhill skiing, does have variations are endless and include us-
very similar physiological demands
and risks for injury.
A cross-country and alpine skier’s
physiology differs significantly. Alpine
skiing places a greater reliance on
anaerobic metabolism, strength and
power. Even though moderate to high
values for aerobic power are recorded
in elite downhill skiers, this is prob-
ably due to the high volume of training
rather than a direct result of skiing
itself. Therefore you should spend time
working on the essential attributes of
skiing, namely strength and balance.
Downhill skiing, when done well,
forces the athlete into a crouched posi-
tion placing load on the legs and core.

THE NEWS
When measured, elite skiers have
strong legs during standardized leg
extension tests compared with many
Leg strength is also a predictor of
success in downhill and giant
slalom events. Time should
be spent on exercising the
quadriceps, hamstrings,
gluteal group, inner and
outer hip muscles and the
core muscles. Exercises that
mimic the squat position in
skiing should be done. Not
too surprisingly, squats are
the best for this. Although ex-
ercising all the core muscles
is key, the back extensors
are the most important in
order to keep your head and
shoulders upright as you
traverse down the slope. Weak low
back muscles will force you to ski in
a slumped position, which puts your
spine at risk for injury, and puts your
eye-line down at your feet. This is not
ideal, since when you are skiing mo-
guls you should be looking one or two
moguls ahead in order to plan your
route. Doing sit-ups or crunches are
not ideal because, aside from needless-
ly abusing your spine, they reinforce
a poor, slouched position that is not
very sport-specific. Instead, it is better
to do core exercises that keep your
lumbar spine in a neutral position. The
ing stability balls, BOSU balls, cables,
tubing and others.
Rather than “ski-to-be-fit” you should
try to be “fit-to-ski.” Get in shape
before you get to the mountains, that
way you won’t repeat the annual ritual
of spending the first few weeks of ski-
ing on the couch with aches, pains, and
injuries and you will make the most of
your time (and money) enjoying the
experience.
