Neighbour
guilty of
sending
lewd photos
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter

Fingerprints led police to a

61-year-old Pitt Meadows man who
pleaded guilty Thursday to charg-
es of mailing lewd photographs of
himself to a much younger female
neighbour.
Momchilo Michael Zivojinovich
was charged with one count of
mailing obscene matter six months
after a 24-year-old woman who
lived in his townhouse complex re-
ceived two photographs of a man’s
genitals.
The photographs were turned
over to Ridge Meadows RCMP, who
eventually applied for a search war-
rant to search Zivojinovich’s home.
Sexually explicit notes were
hand-written on the back of both Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS
photographs, which were dusted
for fingerprints. Making sweet music

Daykin will run again for mayor Christchurch quake

Wants to see Albion
area plan completed
by Phil M elnyc h u k
staff reporter
The mayor wants back in the
chair, for three more years.
Ernie Daykin, first elected to the
top spot in 2008, says he’ll run again
in November to lead the council for
the District of Maple Ridge.
“We’ve got things on the go,” he
said Tuesday.
In particular, he wants to see the
Albion area plan completed. That
process, which aims to create a
long-term plan for the area along
Lougheed Highway and 105th Av-
enue, should be complete by fall.
“I just want to see it finished.”
He and most of council approved
sending a plan for comment to the
Agricultural Land Commission
that calls for development of virtu-
ally all of the available land.
Daykin said he made that deci-
sion not to win votes from the pro-
shopping crowd, but because he
thought it was the best for the com-
munity.

The violin maker: a labour of love
S tor y & photos by Colleen Flanagan

unlight filters through
a single window,
illuminating a thin layer
of sawdust that covers almost
every inch of workspace in
Peter Grohme’s basement
studio. And woodworking
tools hang from the walls
surrounding the counter
where music is made.
Peter makes violins, mostly 14-inch stan-
dard ones based on the Stradivarius model,
as well as 16-inch violas based on the same
model, 7/8 violins – which have a body half
an inch shorter than a standard violin. He
also makes cellos, even a Hardanger violin
– a Norwegian instrument with eight to nine
strings instead of four.
After 10 years and 10,000 hours of meticu-
lous labour, hunched over his bench, sanding
and shaping maple and spruce into thick-
nesses measured in millimetres, he has com-
pleted 99 violins, although he is still working
on No. 98 and is about to start on No. 100.
Somehow they all find homes, although Pe-
ter won’t disclose how much he sells them for
or to whom.
It is his labour of love.
Peter pops a CD into the stereo at the en-
trance to his work room in suburban Maple
Ridge, and turns up the volume. Vivaldi. The
CD of the virtuoso violinist sits in a pile next
to Willy Nelson and The Wailing Jennys.
His grey hair combed back off his forehead,
wearing jeans held up with suspenders, a
dark plaid shirt and tan slippers, Peter makes
his way over to his work table and pulls out a
partially made violin, No. 98. The top, or belly,
of the violin shines in the afternoon light, the
light-coloured spruce waiting to be stained.
The ebony fingerboard has already been
attached, highlighting the carefully carved
lion’s head perched on top.
Peter starts every violin by making the
neck first. It takes forever to make the neck,
he says. It is difficult to get the proportions
exact with the scroll on top.
“When I finish the neck, I always heave a
sigh of relief.
“Look at it,” he says with his German ac-
cent, holding the lion’s head high.
“From the top, the front, the side, whatever.
Everything has to flow,” like music.
“As soon as there is something, even a tenth
of a millimetre out, you will see it and it sticks
out like a sore thumb. And your colleagues
are going to point that out to you until the
day you die.”
He starts with wooden blocks attached to
a mould. They are shaped into points at the
four corners of the instrument, and the top
and bottom, giving the violin its classic con-
tour.
Ribs, thin strips of maple – 1.5 mm thick and
35 mm wide – are then glued to the outside of
the blocks and follow the outline of the mould
of the violin. In some cases, because the ribs
are so thin, they have to be pre-shaped us-

The belly of the violin is carved out of
spruce that Peter purchases from a man in
Valemont, B.C.
The back of the violin is carved out of ma-
ple, which he is able to get locally.
Once the plates are cut out of the wood, they
have to be shaped. Using planes that he made
himself, the back and the belly are arched.
Using a router, Peter makes the edges of both
plates. Then a small hole is drilled into the
top and bottom of the belly and a locating pin
is inserted to keep the plate still on the mould
while an overhang from the rib structure is
created using a belt sander and a knife to get
rid of the excess wood.
A purfling groove is created along the edge
of the belly, and plasticized purfling, pur-
chased from a wholesaler in Ontario, is glued
into the groove. Purfling will prevent the vio-
lin from cracking along the edges.
After a depression is created along the edge
of the plate, Peter starts the arching process.
Each plate is thicker in the middle and be-
comes thinner at the edge. But if a plate is
shaped too thin along the edge, it will start to
flutter and distort the sound.
Peter measures 196 mm down from the top

of the violin. This is where the bridge is going
to go, he remarks.
F-holes are carefully cut into the belly of
the violin. They are called f-holes because
they look like the letter f in italics. An f-hole
allows sound to come out from the violin. Any
slight variation of an f-hole affects the sound
of the violin. For this reason, Peter replicates
the Guarneri style of f-hole, a violin maker’s
f-hole from the 17th century.
A notch is cut into the block at the top of
the violin where the heel of the neck is fitted.
The neck contains the fingerboard and the
distance from the top of the plate to the top
of the fingerboard has to be precisely 21 mm.
A bass bar is then glued to the length of the
underside of the belly.
Now the plates can be glued to the rib struc-
ture and then the violin is dyed, sealed and
varnished.
Peter sets No. 98 on the counter and pulls
out a white tub of glue and a thin paintbrush.
Twenty wooden clamps sit at the side. Pick-
ing up the back plate of the violin, he dips the
brush into the glue and strokes the thin edges
of the plate with the clear sticky substance.

Car Care ‘Professionals are pretty particular’

with
Cyril Barry
ALTERNATORS
While the battery is considered the heart of
the electrical system on all vehicles, without
the alternator the battery wouldn’t last very
long. The battery supplies all the electric
power that the vehicle requires to operate,
the alternator replenishes or recharges the
battery constantly so that it never runs out of
electric power. This process is controlled by a
device which is known as a voltage regulator.
Its job is to ensure that the alternator provides
enough power to the battery to keep it
charged. If the voltage regulator provides
an incorrect charge to the battery, it will be
damaged by not having enough stored power
when the car needs it.
Now while all these dandy items are doing
their respective jobs they are all interconnected
by a large amount of electrical wiring of all
sizes, lengths and locations which have a
number of different connection devices that
enable all these electrical circuits to flow
electrical power to where it is required.
Most vehicles built since the 1980’s have a
computer that is also part of the charging
system. A very expensive part I might add.
This is why you must have someone that
understands how all these items work, by
themselves, and all together, to ensure that
you’re starting or charging problem is properly
diagnosed.
Everyday at our shop we get a number
of people asking how much we charge for
checking a battery, as they are experiencing
difficulties with their vehicle. Most people,
thru no fault of their own, have no idea that
checking the battery is not the answer. In fact
we must check the entire electrical system,
as described in this article, to determine the
reason for a no start or a hard start situation.
To perform these tests require a great deal
of skill and the use of some very expensive
diagnostic equipment. It’s no longer a simple
procedure and should be performed by a
certified auto technician.
While in fact you might need a battery, you
might just need a new battery terminal. Why
spend money that’s not required. Spending
$40.00 to have your charging/starting systems
checked is money very well spent, not to
mention excellent value.
All cars these days have continuously running
head lights. This requires more power which
is a lot harder on the alternator; it wears them
out sooner. Due to this fact, your electrical
system requires more maintenance than ever
before. For that matter, so does the rest of
the car. So be smart, get you car maintained
more often. It will cost you a lot less in the
long run, and run better to boot.
Remember to turn off all electrical
components before you turn off the car. This
will reduce your electrical load upon restarting
and help reduce the battery drain overnight.
Your battery and alternator will love you for
it. Drive safely.

e in the Lower Mainland tend to be oblivi-
ous to the fact we’re essentially occupiers
on never-surrendered First Nations land.
Real estate values keep climbing, highrises soar
ever higher and the aboriginal presence is mostly
confined to art and ceremony, coupled with high-
er-than-average poverty and addiction.
After a century of denial, successive B.C. govern-
ments have sought to reach treaties to resolve out-
standing native claims that cover 90 per cent of the
province. Few, however, have been signed.
Outgoing Premier Gordon Campbell – who ini-
tially fought treaty-making before becoming one of
its biggest champions – lists the failure to achieve a
broader accord on aboriginal reconciliation among
his top regrets. New signs increasingly suggest
this should not be ignored as a problem confined
to B.C.’s rural hinterland.
One Interior band has had some success chal-
lenging the approval of a regional landfill expan-
sion at Cache Creek, citing government’s failure
to adequately consult them. That may determine
whether much of Metro Vancouver’s garbage is
buried inland or incinerated locally in new waste-

The reality is that the

What sort of a park would
this land make?
Mr. Ellman, you mention
how slogans to broaden the
tax base are contrived, in-
sufficiently questioned, and
prone to brainwashing, and
yet, you do not find it neces-
sary to explain why. How is
it that, unlike all surround-
ing municipalities, Maple
Ridge does not need indus-
try, nor do we need sub-
stantially more income from
commerce, which means
branching outside the core?
Can you explain how this
is?

I have tried some shop-

make to shopping will not

benefit to the environment
to keep the thousands of ve-
hicles leaving town, in town,
and to develop the relative-
ly small portion of cleared
land that would make that
possible?
What impact would this
step have on emissions, not
only for Maple Ridge but the
surrounding communities?
Taking a portion of
land out of the ALR
would enable this
town to service its
needs for decades
to come.
There are many ways to be
stewards of nature, and they
aren’t always the most obvi-
ous.

realistically, by the time
any new projects are com-
pleted, we will have moved
on to a new figure, spanning
the next decade and beyond,
which calls for nearly double
that number?
Taking a portion of land

It would also be convenient
for my 18-year-old son, to find
a job where he could work

even walk to work.
The wages would be com-

pressure off land elsewhere
– including farmland.
The problem is, as it always
is with the perennial critic
– not just ones of social and
economic change. The critic
may pick fault with the ef-
forts others make to address
issues without sensing the
need to produce any viable
options in return. Perhaps,
that is part of their appeal.
They are weightless, unen-
cumbered by the weighti-

The reality remains that
we live in a growing commu-

pared to apologize for the
affront that is our presence
here and abandon this town
for the mink and herons, we
need to engage in some real

I must admit that the name
has always struck me as bit
crude and pretentious. What
is likely less obvious is why
individuals, such as myself,
get involved with big busi-
ness and imperfect allianc-
es.
It is precisely so that our
very valid concerns for ser-
vices and infrastructure
are not trampled on by sea-
soned lobbyists who would
otherwise run roughshod

fact is that Maple Ridge is

are different than past gen-

Change is inevitable. In-

by it, let us embrace this

shopping and business op-
portunities and jobs for Ma-

As more young families
purchase homes and raise
their kids here, they are

Drivers still trying to beat bridge tolls
Six drivers who may
have been trying to cross
the Golden Ears Bridge
for free were nabbed by
police on Wednesday.
The cars either had
their licence plates miss-
ing or dirty to the point
of being illegible.
All six drivers were
ticketed by police. Seven
other drivers were also
caught for speeding on
the bridge.
It is a driver’s respon-
sibility to properly dis-

was prohibited from
drinking was arrested
by police on Thursday
for driving drunk.
Police were called to

Meadows following a re-

in the parking lot.
When officers arrived
on scene, the group of
people dispersed. The
man was stopped by po-
lice when he attempted
to drive away.
Samples of his breath
were analyzed at almost
twice the legal limit of .08
per cent.
Officers also learned
the man is currently on
probation and was for-
bidden from consuming
alcohol. He was held in
custody for a court ap-
pearance later in the
day.
Caught with pot
Two men were arrest-
ed by police early Thurs-
day after officers caught
them smoking marijua-
na in a car parked at a
Pitt Meadows mall.
The men, aged 21 and
18, were stopped around
midnight at Meadow

noticed a strong smell

Corbian Visual Arts
and Dance presented
Darwin the Dinosaur
at the ACT on Sunday.
The puppet show is
about a dinosaur named
Darwin who is created
by a famous scientist,
Professor Henslow.
When Darwin begins
to follow his predatory
nature, the professor
makes him a heart so he
can feel compassion for
the world around him.
The puppets are lit up
by electroluminescent
wires that are powered
by batteries for a glow-

‘I’d get better Internet service in Egypt’
A
s the situation
in the Middle
East and North
Africa has been unfold-
ing, there has been a
significant emphasis
on the utilization of
new technologies and
social networking to
relay messages, gather
crowds and send records
of what is happening all
over the world in a mat-
ter of seconds.
Clearly, in many coun-
tries, the uprisings are a
function of both politics
and disenfranchised
youth.
Feeling repressed is
one thing; feeling re-
pressed and lacking any
opportunity for steady
work offers up a recipe
for revolution.
As an educator, I
have been following
the events along with
students, some who
come from the countries
involved and thus carry
a much more emotional
understanding of the
issues, and many who
come from a variety
of countries where the
potential for rebellion,
or at least serious social
unrest, is very real.
As we were watching
matters unfold last week
on CNN, the ubiquitous
presence of technology
to spark freedom from
tyranny seemed to strike
a cord with the students.
Emotions were high.
Over
whelmed?
It must be tax time!

“See, Mr. Hookey,
technology is an agent
of positive change. We
should be able to use our
phones and computers
anytime we wish.”
A little background
into this might help
clarify the context of
that comment. As the
head honcho in a board-
ing school, I have the du-
bious pleasure of what
is affectionately termed
“pastoral care” of young
people. A significant
number of the students
in the school live with us
24 hours a day and their
health habits and social
habits are as important
a lesson in any day as
their learning habits.
So, too, is my role in
putting up some fences
to protect them from
themselves.
I know what that
sounds like; another dic-
tatorial despot repress-
ing ‘his people.’
And so it was that
after one particular ses-
sion of viewing the late
CNN news with the stu-
dents, I was putting the
squeeze on one student
who was doing every-
thing in his power to de-
lay his bedtime. He had
done little to clean up his
room or to get himself
ready, but he was on his
computer and we were
less than five minutes
from lights out. As I was

at me, “but

He went on to say that
perhaps everyone in the
school should revolt to
change rules that were
repressive and ridicu-
lous and that he could
probably use his cell
phone to organize that.
I told him, “prob-
ably, but for now, get

A tiny Asian mite known as the Varroa De-

apiary industry.
In Britain, where three of 25 bumblebee
species have gone extinct.
Scientists are so worried about pesticide
damage that they are fitting bees with tiny
radio tags in order to monitor their behav-
iour.
While such scenarios may sound like plot
lines from a bad 1950s ‘B’ movie, what they
actually represent is a current sampling of
the research and concerns in regards to the
steady loss of both domestic (Apis mellifera)
and wild bees throughout the world.
When you consider that many edible crops
– such as apples and blueberries – rely on
honeybees for 90 per cent of their pollination
needs, can you imagine the massive food
shortages that would ensue if we just let the
status quo continue on its merry way?
Admittedly, there is little the average
person can do about this crisis except limit
their domestic pesticide use, only purchase
non-GMO food products and pressure gov-
ernments at all levels to better scrutinize the
corporate manipulation of the environment
for profit.
Which still leaves us with the problem of
local pollination – how can we make sure
that the fruit trees and berry bushes in our
home gardens get pollinated?

2,000 apple blossoms in a single day – so a
small colony will be all you need.
Thirdly, they pollinate in a range of about
200 feet, so no matter where you situate them
in your yard, your pollination is assured.
Lastly, they are not particularly fussy
about their pollen, so if you only have one or
two fruit trees, they will gladly move onto
your berry bushes or ornamental plants.
Some common shrubs and weeds they
seem to frequent include Pieris, Oregon
grape (Mahonia aquifolium), Salix caprea
‘Pendula’ (weeping pussy willow) and even
the humble dandelion.
Getting started is easy as most garden cen-
tres now stock all the materials (bee condos,
nesting tubes, how-to DVDs) you will need
to attract them, including the dormant bees
themselves.
Since Mason Bees nest in holes, you will
have to decide between the three main
options out there: routered wooden trays,
cardboard nesting tubes or stackable plastic
nesting trays.
The latter is the best, as it is reusable and
Mike Lascelle photos easily cleaned.
(Clockwise) Dormant mason bee cocoons; a typical bee condo with stackable plastic nesting trays These need to be housed in a bee condo,
and predator guard; and cardboard nesting tubes. which resembles a wooden bird house with
a removable front plate or predator guard
(keeps woodpeckers from snacking).
The bee condos should be hung on the
outside wall of a building facing east or south
(with some sun), but out of the wind, rain
and excessive heat.
Rather than wait for the native bees to find
the nest, most people purchase dormant
cocoons in a plastic pill bottle or small card-
board box (each with an emergence hole),
and place this is on top of the nesting trays
or tubes sometime in March, as the tempera-
ture approaches 14 C.
The male bees emerge first and just hang
around to mate, dying shortly afterwards.
The mated females start the cycle of lining
the tubes (should be 5/16” or eight millime-
tres in diameter) with mud, gathering pollen
and making a clump, laying an egg on the
clump and sealing the chamber with mud –
with each 15 centimetre-long tube accommo-
dating about six eggs, which are next year’s
mason bees.

Jacky Graham
Twenty-seven years ago, I answered an ad in this very newspaper
for a part-time sales clerk at Consumers Co-op. Though
traditionally known as a male-dominated organization, I have
been shown nothing but support and encouragement. My hard
work and loyalty have allowed me to move into the warehouse as
Assistant Manager, and from there I was promoted to General
Manager in 2005. I am often asked why I’ve chosen to stay
with the Co-op for so long. My answer is easy. I stay because of
the people that I work with every single day. We are more than
colleagues, we’re family.
We offer products to the farmers, and also welcome the
residential community by adding gardening products, pet food and supplies, and tack.
Consumers Co-op has been serving Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows since 1930.
Today, we are still listening to needs of our customers by amalgamating with the Otter Farm
and Home Co-operative in Aldergrove. This joining of Co-ops allows for expansion of our
Co-op, and strengthens service for our customers. I am very proud to be a part of this step
in history of our company, and our community.

Kellie opened Kellie’s Bead Boutique in late 2009 in her
home town of Maple Ridge. After 6 successful years in the
Jewelry design business it felt like the time to do something
different. With all the beads in her workshop it was a natural
progression. Customers love that there is finally a full service
bead store in Maple Ridge and know they will receive expert
help if needed. At Kellie’s Bead Boutique you’ll find semi-
precious stones, silver beads and findings, Tierra Cast, Vintaj
Brass and Swarovski crystals to create your own piece or
buy jewelry made by the owner herself.
Kellie’s Jewelry has been sold in over 80 stores across Canada & featured in Bead
Style magazine and major daily newspapers across the nation. Pieces have been worn
by local broadcasters Deborah Hope, Kristy Gordon, Dawn Chubai and more.
Stop in and see the huge selection of beads, sign up for a class and create your own
custom jewelry all in your own backyard.

Darlene Miller
Time flies when you’re having fun! Darlene Miller will be
celebrating her 26th year as an award-winning Real Estate
agent. Looking for a change, and with her two kids well into
their teens, Darlene fell into the real estate game in 1985 by
following her brother’s suggestion. She’s never looked back.
Her secret to success in this very competitive industry is simple:
Be yourself. In fact, over 90% of Darlene’s business comes
from repeat and referral clientele. Her priority is not only product
knowledge, but also “people knowledge.” Darlene believes
that listening is her best skill. “Lots of realtors capture the big
picture, but, for me, collecting small details and nuances can make the difference between
matching a client up with their dream home and missing a hidden gem. I try to really see,
through their eyes, what will work, and then combine their vision with my intuition and
experience. For me, real estate is a passion, yes, but it is also my job. I am in the office
every day, which actually surprises people sometimes!” With no plans to slow down,
Darlene is the real deal. Just ask her clients. If you are looking to buy or sell your home,
contact Darlene today for a free consultation.

your stress and anxiety melt away. Aromatherapy and
calming music serve to cast a relaxing spell as you enjoy
the earth tones and fresh flowers that inspire serenity.
Eva’s soft Polish voice sets the mood for tranquility where
she, along with her staff, happily cater to both men and
women using a variety of European Spa Treatments.
Eva opened Esthetique in 1995, and then moved 7 years
ago to their current, larger location in Meadow Vale Mall.
With 37 years of experience, Eva sees a difference in
perception. Services that were once thought of as a luxury are now seen as
simply essential in maintaining healthy self-care.
It’s no wonder Esthetique was voted “Favourite Spa in Maple Ridge/
Pitt Meadows” by the residents of the very community that Eva and her staff serve
so well.

Monkey Business Kids Boutique is a store specializing in all things kids! The store
carries clothing, shoes, gear for the baby, room decor, toys and accessories.
The business was founded over three years ago to fill a void due to the lack of
quality children’s wear and accessories in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.
The products and lines Monkey Business Kids Boutique carries are no different
than those available in downtown Vancouver, often at a lower price. Product
variety, local convenience and price, make the store ultra convenient to the
community.
“Our product selection at Monkey Business reflects the brands and products that
we have had positive experiences with as parents ourselves. Customers can trust
us in knowing that if we wouldn’t use a product or put a piece of clothing on our
kids, we wouldn’t expect our clients to either.”
The staff aims to exceed Monkey Business customers’ expectations. A trip to the store is very personal, with staff
often knowing customers by name and more importantly knowing their stories. There is no comparison to the
experience of a big box children’s wear store.

Crazy About Clothes is an upscale Consignment store selling women’s clothing, jewellery, shoes, purses
aand accessories at affordable prices. Brand names include Guess, Coach, Zara, I.N.C., Ann Taylor, Jacobs,
R&W, Versace, Laundry by Shelli Segal, Gucci, Lululemon, Rock Republic, True Religion, Miss Me.
Why do your customers buy your product or use your services:
W
Women love designer brand clothing, however, for most to buy new is unaffordable. Consignment clothing
W
& accessories give women the opportunity to purchase at very low prices and look fabulous. The clothing
cconsigned at my store is like new, some items are new and have never been worn.
C
Customers who shop at Crazy About Clothes have stated that they are in awe of the quality and
uuniqueness of the items consigned. Consignment is all about “pieces”, putting together that fabulous outfit
w
which makes you stand out.
W
What prompted you to get in the business?
I have always loved shopping consignment! I decided to open my business in Maple Ridge as at the time
w
we had no consignment stores here. I wanted to offer the women in our community, a place to shop that
hhad a boutique atmosphere, upscale clothing and friendly service.
Length of time in business:
9 months, I opened my store May 29th, 2010
What makes you stand out from your competitors?
Operating a consignment store is really not competitive, as every shop has different pieces which make it fun for women. It is a great experience to
shop in different consignment shops and come out smiling with the treasures that you found. I would say that customer service is my priority, staff
and myself strive to ensure that each customer is treated with honesty, respect and valued when they shop at Crazy About Clothes.
If there was one thing that everyone should know about you, what would it be:
I think it would be that I am a people person, I love helping women when they come into my store to feel good about themselves and have a great
shopping experience.
I am passionate about giving back to those less fortunate in our community and my business can be a vehicle to follow this passion.

treating their loved ones. Dr. Aman has bonded with the folks in Pitt

the solutions. I accept this responsibility gladly. It is my privilege to be chosen to oversee the care

A fter 20 years of working in the esthetics industry, I was thrilled to be
able to open my own location, right in my own community. Five years
ago I opened LA Body Retreat to offer a solution that promises to provide
faster and more effective results than traditional diet and exercise can
offer--lose 30 inches in 30 days--using the European techniques of the Eurowave,
Universal Contour Wrap & Infrared Sauna.
The intimate oasis that I’ve created comes from years of watching and learning about
what women are looking for in a spa experience. As a result, my exclusive clientele
includes local elite businesswomen who believe in encouraging women entrepreneurs,
without compromising on their own standards.
Outstanding results, backed by my own personal guarantee, have allowed me to grow
my business on my own terms. Thank you to the incredible women that are already my

in. She found herself driving to “Kids Only Market” on Granville Island to purchase
gifts for her friends’ children. Then the idea came to her on one of those long
drives, and in August of 2000, “Just Ducky! The Real Cool Kids Store!” was born.
“Just Ducky!” has now been in operation for over 10 years, and has seen a few
moves - from its inception next to Dino’s (where the Langley Farm Market is
now), to the outside of the ValleyFair Mall (next to Starbucks) to the inside of the
ValleyFair Mall (next to the Liquor store) - where we have been for 6 years - and,
now, WE ARE MOVING ONE MORE TIME!!
Look for us this May on 224th St., next to Marina’s Gelato and Sweet Orange Clothing. “Just Ducky!” will have a
bigger space, and will be able to offer children’s hostessing themed parties! (ex. princess, fairy, ‘spa’, Thomas, pirate
& dinosaur themes).
Sabrina and her staff are excited about the move, and look forward to serving the families of Maple Ridge in “Just
Ducky’s” new location. Thanks to the loyal patrons of Just Ducky! You have made and continue to make the store a
thriving success. THANK YOU!!

The message of reconciliation

S
tarting this week,
Christians of all
stripes and colours
will be keeping Lent, a
period of preparation
that culminates in Good
Friday and Easter.
For 40 days (Sundays
excluded), followers of
Christ will reflect on the
passion, death, and res-
urrection of our Lord.
Lent is a time of devo- Acts of Faith
tion, which we observe Gerard Booy
by acts of charity, fast-
ing, prayer, self-exami-
nation, repentance, and Bible reading.
At the beginning of Lent, we hear the
words of Psalm 32: Blessed are they whose
transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are
covered. Blessed are they whose sins the
Lord does not count against them. When I
kept silent, my bones wasted away … Then
I acknowledged my sin to you … and you
forgave the guilt of my sin.
Is this really necessary? I believe so.
“We don’t get along with one another. We
never have. And we are not getting any bet-
ter. Cain started it off by killing his brother,
and we’ve been at it ever since,” writes pas-
tor and author Eugene Peterson.
Sin manifests itself is injustice, oppres-
sion of the vulnerable, exploitation of the
poor, misuse of natural resources, greed,
and our sloth and unwillingness to get in-
volved. Sin is evident in all our relational
and behavioural problems, in substance
abuse and reckless behaviour, in crime and
domestic quarrels.
But sin, at its core, is a relationship gone
wrong.
At the root of our failures, to get along
with one another and to live in harmony
with the created world, is our failure to get
along with God.
Our biggest problems are not economi-
cal, political or environmental. Our deepest
problem is our alienation from God, which
also separates us from one another.
The world does not need new ideas and
initiatives as much as it needs reconcilia-
tion with God. The world’s need is for more
than righteous leaders and courageous citi-
zens who are willing to stand up against in-
justice. Our deepest need is to be reconciled
with God.
The central theme of Lent is reconcilia-
tion; the historic truth that God in Christ
reconciled the world to Himself; that God
has done everything necessary for the rela-
tionship to be fixed.
God cleared the way, removed the obsta-
cles. God made Himself vulnerable to us.
Reconciliation is costly. It begins at the
cross.
Why would God do this?
Because God is not just a higher power or
supreme being; God is not just the life force,
or energy that drives the universe.
God is a Person – in our Christian under-
standing a community of Persons (Trinity)
who exists in perfect relationship.
God is a Person who seeks wholeness in
His relationship with us; who looks on the
trouble we get ourselves into, the damage
we cause to the environment and to each
other, the mess we make of life (for which
we so quickly and conveniently blame God),
and has compassion on us.
He sent his Son. In Christ, God made the
sacrifice and judged our sins.
In Christ, God reconciled us to Himself. In
Christ, God loves us.
Gerard Booy is minister of Haney Presby-
terian Church.

Food strategy
The Metro Vancouver
board has adopted a Re-
gional Food System Strategy
to increase awareness of
local food is produced and
consumed.
Its five goals: increas-
ing capacity to grow food
locally; improving financial
viability of the food sector;
helping people make healthy
choices; ensuring they have
access to health food; and
ensuring the food system is
consistent with ecological
health.
“We are very fortunate
in this region to have rich
agricultural lands and
freshwater that can produce
nutritious food and provide
food security closer to home.
The challenge is to put more
local food in our grocery
stores and on our plates,”
said Harold Steves, Metro’s
agricultural committee chair.
New eco dev
Maple Ridge’s economic
advisory commission has a
new chair and vice-chair for
2011. Glenn Ralph, general
manager of Pitt Meadows
Regional Airport, is in the
top spot, with accountant
Chris Rounding as vice-
chair.
Maple Ridge’s economic
strategy calls for diversifying
the tax base by attracting
growth in the education,
tourism and high-tech
sectors.
“Maple Ridge is poised
for unprecedented growth,”
Ralph said in a release.
Mayor Ernie Daykin and
Couns. Al Hogarth and
Judy Dueck are also on the
commission.

Jr. Ramblers
off to B.C.
finals
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter
The Maple Ridge second-
ary junior girls basketball
team are off to the provincial
championships after a strong
performance at the Fraser
Valley championships last
weekend.
Things did not start well for
the No. 6-seeded junior Lady
Ramblers, however, as they
dropped their first contest of
the tournament 51-38 to the
No. 3-ranked Yale Lions. De-
spite a solid effort throughout
the game, foul trouble and
missed lay-ups contributed to
the loss. Kirby Marchand led
the Ramblers with 15 points
while sister Shara Marchand
chipped in nine points.
The Ramblers regrouped
and bounced back on Friday
with a physical 51-36 win
against the Walnut Grove
Gators. The Ramblers pulled
ahead in the fourth quarter
with intense defensive play.
Devan Cousins was a key fac-
tor in the Ramblers victory
with 19 points, while Kirby
Marchand contributed 15.
Saturday Morning, the
Ramblers faced No. 4-seeded
Holy Cross, losing 60-51 to
the much taller team. Kirby
Marchand came out with 19
points, followed by Cousins
with 11.
The loss to Holy Cross set
up a do or die situation for
the Ramblers Saturday night,
as they faced Yale secondary
once again, the winner of the
match-up getting the final
berth at provincials.
Maple Ridge trailed the Li-
ons 29-17 at half, but came out
inspired in the third quarter.
The added intensity help the
Ramblers draw fouls, which
brought them a number of
free throw opportunities.
However, with 4:32 left to
play, the team was still down
by 10 points.
That deficit soon vanished
as a couple of key steals from
Melissa Fung enabled Ridge
to go on a 10-0 scoring run.
Clutch shooting from Dani-
ca Severinski and Cousins
helped the Ramblers tie the
game and force overtime.
The Ramblers kept rolling
in the extra frame, when Kir-
by Marchand nailed a three-
pointer with one minute to
go to seal the win and the un-
expected berth at the B.C. fi-
nals. Kirby Marchand led the
team with 27 points, followed
by Shara Marchand with 12.
The B.C. junior girls’ pro-
vincials run March 10 to 12 at
the University of the Fraser
Valley’s Envision Centre in
Abbotsford.

Pitt kicker sees world
with national U-17 squad
Daniel Stanese making
waves with Whitecaps and
Canadian development team
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter
Pitt Meadows’ Daniel Stanese has
been logging his fair share of fre-
quent flyer miles of late.
Since joining the Vancouver
Whitecaps soccer prospect resi-
dency program in September and
earning a roster spot with the Ca-
nadian national U-17 development
team last year, the 16-year-old has
spent almost as much time in the
air as he has on the pitch.
Beginning in October, Stanese
travelled with the national squad to
Florida for warm-up matches with
the US development team, then to
Jaimaca, to play against their best
young players. Then it was off to
Costa Rica for a development camp
and exhibition games against local
junior teams, then back to Jamaica
for World Cup qualifiers.
In between were trips across Can-
ada with the Whitecaps prospects
team.
www.mapleridgenews.com - THE NEWS -- Friday, March 4, 2011 -- 49
“I’ve been doing a lot of travel-
ling, and it’s great,” says Stanese.
“I get to see the world, and I’m
playing against the best.”
So far, Stanese has 12 caps in in-

force Game 7
Junior B Flames drop two
straight to send series back
to Port Moody
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter
The Port Moody Black Panthers
clawed their way back to force a
Game 7 series final with the Ridge
Meadows Flames after the Flames
blew an opportunity to clinch the
best-of-seven playoff series at home
Wednesday night, losing 5-1.
The Flames were up in the series
3-1 after winning three straight
against the Black Panthers. How-
ever, much as Flames coach Tavis
Eaton predicted, Port Moody has
not rolled over easily, and after
winning the last two games by a
combined score of 8-1, the series
heads to Port Moody for the final
game.
The Black Panthers didn’t waste
any time getting on the board
Wednesday night as they scored
just three minutes into the opening
frame.
Port Moody added two more for
good measure in the second before

Alexander Smith finally got the
Flames on the board in the third pe-
riod with the team’s first goal in six
periods of hockey.
However, a Flames comeback
would not be in the cards as the
Black Panthers scored twice in the
final frame to seal the victory and
force a Game 7.
The Flames spent much of the
game on the penalty kill, as they
gave Port Moody six power play op-
portunities, only allowing a single
power play goal with under four
minutes to play.
Port Moody, meanwhile, gave up
just two power play opportunities to
decision so far,” he says. “The
training is pretty intense... here

Notice of Traffic Diversion and Delays
A pitch to prevent Little League elbow Highway 1/200th Street Interchange, Township of Langley
Motorists are advised that traffic at the Highway 1/200th Street
Interchange will be delayed due to remedial work required to
undertake warranty repairs at the south end of the Highway 1

A
ll baseball pitchers are
at risk for elbow injuries,
but younger pitchers have
even more risk for ‘little league
elbow’ for a variety of reasons.
For pre-teen and teenaged pitch-
ers there are many influences
on this area that have to do with
throwing technique, type of pitch,
and volume of throwing (pitch
count). But the greatest factor to
be understood by coaches, parents
and players is the physical maturi-
ty of muscles, ligaments and, espe-
cially, bones in young pitchers.
Moving from the cocking phase
into forward acceleration of the
ball, the forces on the medial
(funny bone) side of the elbow of
up to five per cent of the player’s
body weight have been recorded
during the overhead baseball
pitch. Shoulder extension velocity
can reach over 3,000 degrees per
second and internal rotation can
reach 9,000 degrees per second.
With these velocities and forces
on the shoulder and elbow, you
can see why the elbow, a small,
fairly complex joint, is susceptible
to injury with repetitive move-
ment.
The elbow is basically a hinge
joint, and in combination with the
wrist it also allows rotation (called
supination and pronation) which
is the motion achieved when using
a doorknob. But pitching places
high lateral (valgus) forces on a
hinge joint that is not evolved to
move laterally. The growth plates
and ligaments in the elbow can be
old had a 35 per cent increase
in elbow pain throwing more
than 75 pitches a game or 600 in
a season. Adolescent
pitchers were five times
as likely to have elbow
injury requiring surgery
when pitching more than
eight months a year.
The same study found
that pitchers who ignore
arm fatigue had 36 times
more chance of sustain-
ing an injury. From 1998
to 2001 several studies
had recommended that
Kinected
youth baseball pitchers Kerry Senchyna
not throw breaking balls
because of the potential
increase in force on the arm with
these kinds of pitches. However,
newer findings are calling these
conclusions into question. A 2009
study in Current Sports Medicine
Reports and the American Jour-
nal of Sports Medicine have found
that the forces on the elbow may
not be all that different between
a curve ball and a fastball for
ages nine to 14. However, they
recommend that after mastering
the fundamentals of throwing
and hitting, that pitchers initially
focus on the fastball followed by a
change-up and finally a curveball
since this latter pitch is the most
complicated and the most difficult
to teach.
Younger players can have dif-
ficulty verbalizing pain or fatigue,
so in order to more accurately as-
sess this, coaches can use what’s
where 0 is no fatigue and 10 is
completely exhausted. However, overpass.

that are pitched. It also gives the
player greater exposure to differ-
ent movement patterns and helps
with overall motor development.
This is another reason not to
emphasize sport or specialization
at an early age.
The baseball pitch, along with
the slap shot in hockey, is one
of the most complex sequences
of movement in sports. It is the 3rd Annual
position in baseball that is most
susceptible to injury, so main-

athlete about fatigue and pain, do
