The District of Maple Ridge purchased 14 lots
between Haney Place and Valley Fair malls.
In the latest incident, Sunday morn-
ing, the cat killed a miniature horse
at a farm on 256th Street near 128th
Avenue.
A goat, two other miniature horses,
a donkey and two sheep were slain in
previous attacks.
Soft leg-hold traps have been set
around wooded areas where the cou-
gar has been spotted, but no blood
hounds have been brought in yet to
track the animal.
Murray Smith, a sergeant with the
B.C. Conservation Service, couldn’t
say why the cougar is targeting live-
stock.
“Unless you have the offending
animal right there, you don’t know
whether it is old, sick, injured or
young. All those reasons would cause
it to look for easier prey rather than
wild animals,” Smith explained.

Award named posthumously after inspiring Pitt teen

Beckie Dyer was killed
in a tragic car accident
last October
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter
A Pitt Meadows teen
killed in a car crash last Oc-
tober will be honoured by
Miss World Canada.
The pageant and Variety
Club of B.C. will hand out
the Beckie Dyer Communi-
ty Spirit Award for the first
time this year to a contes-
tant who emulates the late
19-year-old.
“A large portion of what
makes a good Miss World
candidate is their commu-
nity service,” said Andrew
Contributed Forshner, a special events
Beckie Dyer (on left) at the Miss Canada Teen contest. coordinator with the Va-
riety Club of B.C., a char-
ity for which Dyer clocked
countless hours as a volun-
teer.
“Beckie was one of the top
young volunteers. We feel
that we need to have Beckie
be a symbol for our girls.”
The Miss World Canada
pageant celebrates “Beauty
with a Purpose” with del-
egates fundraising for Vari-
ety – The Children’s Charity
as part of the competition.
Dyer and her boyfriend,
Johnny De Oliveira, 21,
were killed on Oct. 19 when
a Toyota Paseo, heading
east on Lougheed, skidded
sideways over a concrete
median near Harris Road.
The Toyota flipped over
and slammed into the roof
of the Suzuki Swift that
Dyer and De Oliveira were
travelling in.
Investigators allege the
woman in the Toyota was
driving aggressively when
she crashed. She has yet to
be charged.
“We feel that we need
to have Beckie be a
symbol for our girls .”
Andrew Forshner,
Variety Club of B.C.
As a teen, Beckie spent
hours of her free time help-
ing charities such as Va-
riety, the Ridge Meadows
Hospital Foundation, Pitt
Meadows Day and the Net-
work for Animals.
She won the 2009 Lynn
Papp Award for her volun-
teer work in the city and
vied three times for the title
of Miss Teen B.C.
Debbie Dyer said her
daughter loved participat-
ing in the Miss Teen pag-
eant because its mission
was “Beauty with A Pur-
pose.”
“Beckie was able to do
amazing things within the
community and has touched
the lives of so many because
of the growth, guidance and
self confidence the pageant
instilled in her,” added Deb-
bie Dyer.
“I am deeply honoured
that the Miss World Cana-
da is promoting an award
in her name.”
The award will be based
on online voting, the con-
testant’s fundraising abili-
ties, scrapbooking and
their volunteer work in
the community.
It will be given out on
May 19.

Clearing the way

T
he District of Maple Ridge is clearing the
way to further redevelop the downtown
core, with its own wallet.
The district has just purchased 13 rental hous-
es and a vacant lot between Haney Place and
Valley Fair malls from a numbered company for
more than $3 million.
The district plans to demolished them, clear
the lots and sell that land to another developer.
First it will help relocate the tenants.
The previous developer and the district couldn’t
agree on a vision for the area, so the properties
sat there, collecting rent, but hindering growth
downtown.
The district has been pushing ahead with
downtown renovations, as we’ve seen with the
road improvements this past year, and recently
approved a bundle of incentives to redevelop and
build in the core.
When the properties were put up for sale,
the district decided it couldn’t wait any longer
and bought them, the idea to sell the downtown
improvements and push its incentive program.
Essentially, it took the first, bold step, to dem-
onstrate its commitment to revitalizing the
downtown.
We hope it works. Plans for other downtown
properties, including a high-rise apartment and
a new gaming facility, were put on hold during
the recent recession.
But there are signs that is changing, in Maple
Ridge, at least. The sale and pending redevelop-
ment of Northumberland Court is one. The two
new bridges are also supposed to help.
The 14 properties are zoned in the official com-
munity plan for commercial and high-density
development – some mid-sized apartments and
small retail stores. That is the plan.
Sounds desirable enough, within walking dis-

Within nine days, she was

had enough to pay the month-

had to pay for her phone.

one has to be verified in the

and can’t respond.
“We have to listen carefully

he said. “So we end up listen-

Many people will immedi-

911, but that just creates more
problems, Guscott said.
Dispatchers need to con-
firm there is no emergency,
so they will call back repeat-
edly until they can reach the
person who called. If the call
comes from a land line, and a
caller can’t be reached, a po-
lice officer may be dispatched
to verify no one is in danger.
“People hang up because
they are embarrassed. But
if they don’t hang up, they
won’t get that knock on the
door, which is probably more
embarrassing,” said Coun.
Judy Dueck.
“I’ve actually done that, and
it’s quite embarrassing,” said
Mayor Ernie Daykin.
E-Comm is currently in the
midst of an advertising cam-
paign that hopes to educate
people about the growing
problem and is asking cell-
be careful about how they
store their phones.
Many older phones come
with an emergency feature
that allows calls to 911 simply
by holding a single key, of-
ten the No. 1 key. Keyguards
won’t stop the 911 call from
proceeding.
The problem is not unique
to Metro Vancouver, as To-
ronto’s emergency dispatch
receives close to 300 acciden-
tal calls per day.
“The problem varies to
the extent with which cell
phones have permeated that
market,” said Guscott. “It’s
a huge problem in Toronto.
Not so much in Edmonton.”
E-Comm receives more
than a million emergency
calls a year in Metro Vancou-
ver, including those for Maple
Ridge and Pitt Meadows.
Maple Ridge saw a 13 per
cent increase in emergency
calls last year, while non-
emergency calls declined.

Solving crime with comedy
Comedian Roman Danylo morphs into
Lieut. Horatio Caine in CSI Maple Ridge
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter
Danylo is a big fan of the red-haired Miami detec-
tive played by Caruso.
“Imitation is the best form of flattery. To me, he’s
a lot like Shatner,” says Danylo. “He is the saviour
of everybody and he is super confident and cocky.
Both him and Shatner make no mistakes, they
always solve the problems. I don’t know anybody
like that in real life.”
Bringing Lieut. Horatio Caine to life requires

T
o craft a mystery set in a town he’s never
been to, Roman Danylo taps cab drivers.
They are the folks with their ears to the
ground and fingers curled around the pulse of a
city.
“Cab drivers are a wealth of information,” says
Danylo, who’ll be cracking a case in Maple Ridge
this weekend. “They know all the parts of town
that are dangerous, the local landmarks or the
personalities. They are my best source of refer-
ence.”
Based on Danylo’s YouTube sketch, The David
Caruso School of Acting, CSI Maple Ridge is a far-
cical take on the popular TV show set against the
geographic backdrops of Pitt Meadows and down-
town Haney.
Imagine the murder takes place at ‘Haney House,’
the killer hides out at ‘The Ramada Inn,’ is chased
down ‘ Lougheed Highway’ and escapes in a kayak
stolen from ‘Ayla Canoe Rentals.’ After careful
DNA testing and enhancing a blurry photo, the
killer is revealed to be none other than the ‘Beast’
riding on a sturgeon down the Fraser drinking
blueberry wine from Blue Heron Fruit Winery.
“There will be names and personalities and lo-
cations that everyone in the audience will recog-
nize,” promises Danylo. “I can tell you this much,
the one place that people know as the pick-up joint
in town will be featured.”
Joining Danylo on stage will be Vancouver The-
atresports League veterans Nathan Clark and De-
nise Jones who’ll help bring some of his favourite
Comedy Inc. sketches to life.
more than just a ginger wig.
“Imitation is the best
form of flattery.”
Roman Danylo,
comedian
Danylo throws in some random squatting, never
looks anyone in the eye and dons Lieut. Caine’s
dark signature sunglasses.
“There is this weird sing-song in his voice,” says
Danylo as he morphs into the celebrated crime
scene investigator. “There is an emphasis on
words that you wouldn’t expect and extra vibrato
at the end of sentences. You also have to say your
last line and bolt.”
Danylo has appeared in several Canadian TV se-
ries including CTV’s Corner Gas, CBC’s Just For
Laughs, CBC’s Made in Canada, and has taped
two stand-up specials for CTV’s Comedy Now. For
five seasons, he starred in a sketch comedy series
on CTV and Spike TV called Comedy Inc.
• CSI Maple Ridge plays the ACT at 8:30 p.m. on Contributed
Saturday, Jan. 29. Tickets are $27 for adults and Roman Danylo as the CSI Miami detective Horatio Caine.
$20 for students.

Music straight from the heart

Musician Gene Murphy launches his
first solo CD with a performance
on Saturday
Gene Murphy’s first solo record is one that is
close to his heart, an oeuvre dedicated to the
ones he loves.
“I hope it makes people feel again,” says Mur-
phy, who recorded All That We’ve Been Through
at Warehouse Studio in Vancouver with produc-
er Josh Bowman.
Murphy began his musical career as a mem-
ber of The Rockin Edsells, an act that opened
for The Blasters, The Shakin’ Pyramids and the
BopCats in the eighties.
The Edsells evolved into a more electrified
roots rock band called The Last Wild Sons who

Gene Murphy plays the Kanaka Creek Coffee House on Saturday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Overdrive, the Kentucky Headhunters, Colin
James and the Cowboy Junkies.
Murphy’s most recent musical endeavour was
a country gospel blues band called the Knitting
Club, whose members Carol and Barry Keating
lend their skills to ‘Roadtrip,’ a song on his latest
solo CD.
For Murphy, the solo venture was going back
to his roots, where his lyrics and tales were
backed only by acoustic guitar and the occa-
sional harmonica.
Murphy describes it as his heart on vinyl, so to
speak. It’s deep, emotional and honest.
“As humans, we are supposed to feel things
whether they are good or bad,” he says.
“I see this album as an awakening. It’s about
getting people to feel again.”
• Hear Gene Murphy plays songs from his solo
album All That We’ve Been Through on Satur-
day Jan. 29 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Kanaka
Creek Coffee House, 24155 102 Avenue in Maple
Ridge. Buy the CD on iTunes or Amazon.

Marauders finish fourth at Emerald

Only defeat at Vancouver
tourney to No. 2 Kelowna
After a stumble at the start of
the Vancouver College Emerald
senior boys high school basketball
tournament, the Pitt Meadows
Marauders rebounded to finish
fourth in the eight-team tourney
by downing the White Rock Chris-
tian Academy Warriors 70-65 Sat-
urday.
The Marauders jumped out to a
19-7 lead, but WCRA came back
to take a five-point lead in the
second half before Pitt Meadows
prevailed. Marauders head coach
Rich Goulet said, “The intensity of
this game was playoff worthy.”
Malcolm Williams netted 25
points despite fouling out with
four minutes left in the game.
Mitsu Iwai scored 14 points, while
Trevor Severinski had 11 and also
grabbed 13 rebounds. Matt Black-
aby was a defensive force with 10
steals.
On Friday, Pitt Meadows defeat-
ed Surrey’s Tamanawis Wildcats
58-38, with Williams leading the
way with 18 points, while Sever-
inski had 12 with nine rebounds.
The Marauders started off strong
taking an early 24-5 lead and at
halftime were up 32-14 over the
Wildcats, who were ninth in the
provincial AAA rankings.
The Marauders went into the
tournament ranked fourth but
ran up against second-ranked Kel-
owna in the Emerald’s first round.
They lost 71-64 to the Owls despite
a 26-point performance from Wil-
liams and 21 points from Blacka-
by. Goulet said turnovers proved
costly, with Kelowna collecting
20 or more points off them in the
early going.

Flames struggle

Lose to last-place squad after firing
53 shots and going 0-8 on powerplay
by Grant G ra n g e r
contributor

At 6-foot-3, Aldergrove Kodiaks goalie Ross Baads-

vik is a big guy. But last Friday against the Ridge
Meadows Flames, he played as big as a Kodiak bear.
Baadsvik made 50 saves as Aldergrove defeated
Ridge Meadows 6-3 at Planet Ice, handing the Flames
their fifth consecutive Pacific International Junior B
Hockey League loss.
Adult male Kodiak bears range be-
tween 800 and 1,400 pounds, and
stand up to 10-feet tall, although
they do leave a large 5-hole
when on their haunches. To
the Flames, Baadsvik played
like he was 10-feet tall and could
fill the net.
“Aldergrove played good, we just
couldn’t score,” said Flames head
coach Tavis Eaton. “It was one of those nights when
their goalie was stopping everything ... He made save
after save after save.”
In a scoreless first period, the Flames outshot the
Kodiaks 12-3 and were unable to beat Baadsvik de-
spite having four power-play opportunities. They had

Midget Chiefs split with Canadians

The Vancouver Northeast
Chiefs scored an upset, come-
from-behind
victory over
the Greater
Va n c o u v e r
Canadians on
Saturday be-
fore being on the losing end of
one the next day.
The Chiefs downed the Ca-
nadians 5-4, overcoming a 4-2
deficit early in the third period
in a B.C. Major Midget Hockey
League game played at UBC
on Saturday. The teams traded
goals in the first period with
Maple Ridge’s Matthew Bissett
scoring for the Chiefs. The Ca-
nadians took a 3-2 lead after two
periods, with defenceman Dan-
iel Del Bianco getting North-
east’s goal. After Greater Van-
couver increased the lead to 4-2
in the third, Tyler Martin and
Bissett scored with just over 12
minutes remaining to set the
stage for Jamie Waddington’s
winning goal with 2:16 left. Del
Bianco also had three assists,
as did Matt Allan.
On Sunday, Bissett and Joey
Santucci scored for the Chiefs
as both teams notched a pair of
goals in the first period. Trevor
Sutton and Jacob Wensley in-
creased Northeast’s lead to 4-2
in the second period, but in the
third the Canadians scored four
times to improve their record
to 20-8-4, putting them third in
the 11-team league. The Chiefs
are sixth at 11-12-7, six points
behind fifth-place South Island
Thunderbirds (14-11-7), but
with two games in hand, and
two points in front of the Oka-
nagan Rockets (12-15-3).
This coming weekend the
Chiefs will play host to the 10th-
place Kootenay Ice (6-18-6) at
Cam Neely Arena. Saturday’s
game begins at 4 p.m. with Sun-
day’s starting at 10 a.m.
Bissett is the team’s top scorer
with 19 goals and 34 points, which
ties him for 12th in the BCMML.
