A 16-day intense programlets kids improve reading andmath during the holidays.
by Maria [email protected]
Their hands are small andagile and their brains seemwired for technology – so itseemed a natural fit for primarystudents to use iPods to improvetheir reading during a ReadingRacers summer school class.
Classes continue this week,with primary students workingon word games like Hangmanand completing reading exer-cises on the small hand-helddevices.
Young children are com-fortable using iPods and thedevices keep their attentionfocused, said Laureen Hickey,one of the teachers at ReadingRacers program at Harry HoogeElementary.
“It’s more engaging andmotivating for the chil-dren,” Hickey said.
An iPod is a “fun tool”to hook children into read-ing, she added. The iPodswere used during the lastschool year in a pilot project atAlbion Elementary.
Confidence is a big factorfor children as they learn, andwhen they pick up an iPod andinstantly know how to use it –and sometimes show their teach-ers how to use them – “they
think to themselves, ‘I can dothis’,” said Hickey.
While the teacher likes to seea balance between technologyuse and books in the classroom,Hickey acknowledged, “theworld is changing.”
“It seems using technology is
something children will be doingin the future,” she said.
The school district is in themidst of its elementary summerschool program.
Lisa Jakeway who heads theprogram, pointed out that thereis a small, specialized area of
the brain that plays an importantpart in the beginning stages ofreading – this area is responsiblefor analyzing and processingsounds.
That means learning to readisn’t related to “overall intel-ligence,” so even “very smart
people can have difficulty learn-ing to read.”
“When children have dif-ficulty, their natural tendencyis to avoid reading,” Jakewayexplained. “These children needto practise more than childrenfor whom reading comes easily.”
That’s why the school districtorganized the intense 16-dayprogram to focus on reading insmall groups.
The program runs for fourweeks, four days a week. at twodifferent schools.
There are 48 students in theEnglish Grade 1 program, 16 inthe English Grade 2 program,and 16 in the Grade 2 Frenchimmersion program.
Another 32 students in Grade4 are taking a Math in Motionprogram to help with arithmetic.
Hickey said working in thesummer school program is asatisfying experience becauseshe can spend more one-on-onetime with the students. In aregular classroom, there are usu-ally 23 students to each teacher.
Jakeway said all the studentsmake “significantly greatergains” in their reading at sum-mer school than they do duringthe school year.
Altogether, there are 14 teach-ers and assistants teaching at thesummer school program.
But the school district alsodraws on community volunteersto help run the programs, andthis year there are about 35adults and students helping atthe two schools.

iPods boost reading at summer school
A riverbus could carry 15,000passengers a day between MapleRidge and the Lower Mainland.
Port Haney and Albion have been sug-gested as stops on a riverbus travellingbetween Richmond and Maple Ridge.
Jeff Malmgren, of the Fraser RiverBusSociety, pitched the idea of a riverbuson Friday to Metro Vancouver’s regionalplanning committee, arguing that water-borne commuter transport has the poten-
tial to ease gridlock on the roads andbring more transit options to the region.
The idea is a “good one,” said MapleRidge councillor Judy Dueck who is vice-chair of the committee.
“There are merits to using the water-ways,” she said. “We’ve discussed itlocally.”
However, she added, it always comedown to funding.
Under the plan, four water buses wouldrun between Richmond and Maple Ridge,carrying up to 15,000 passengers per day.
The hop-on, hop-off buses would stop
along the route in Langley, Coquitlam,New Westminster, Burnaby, andVancouver.
“We have to think outside the box forthe future,” Dueck said.
Malmgren pointed out that more peopleare “trans-commuting” across the region,often travelling to downtown Vancouverfirst.
The riverbus would eliminate that,reducing the average commute for many.
Malmgren estimated it would cost upto $20.4 million to start the project, withoperating costs at $1,000 per hour/per
vessel. The SeaBus across Burrard Inlet,by comparison, costs $675 per hour torun, he said.
The next step, however, would be forthe Fraser RiverBus Society to approachTransLink about the idea, Dueck said.
Using the river could not only be usedfor pedestrian traffic, though, Dueck said.It could also be considered for freight toget semis off the roads.
In 1995 and again in 2003, TransLinkstudied other possibilities for ferry routes,but none were pursued.

The sun beat down oneveryone who attendedCountry Fest on Saturdayand Sunday, with thetemperatures rising to 28degrees Celsius.
Thousands of people flockedto Country Fest on Saturday andSunday to enjoy live entertain-ment, sporting events, animals,art, a midway, and many otherfun activities synonymous withsummer in Maple Ridge.
And Lorraine Bates, managerof the annual agricultural fair,was thrilled with the weekend’ssuccess.
Attendance was comparable tolast year at about 14,000 people,said Bates, who added Saturdaywas busier this year, but Sunday
was busierin 2010.
“Weather-wise it wasgreat andwe deservedit…Saturdaywas theperfect fairweather,with just alittle bit ofa breeze,”Bates said,Tempe-raturestopped 28degreesCelsiusSunday.
It was anice turnof events, given that organizershad to reconfigure the layout ofthe fair several times during the
week lead-ing up to theevent dueto the factthe AlbionFairgroundswere toosoggy.
Overall, itwas another“great suc-cess” thatthe com-munity canbe proud of,said Bates,who after20 years oforganizingthe eventsaid she’sstill excitedeach year
when the gates open and visitorscome to enjoy a wide range ofevents.
This year’s fair included themore traditional 4-H animalcompetitions, arts and craftexhibits, amusement rides, akids’ activity area, and liveentertainment.
But over the past four years,the event has expanded toinclude a variety of other com-munity happenings, includingice skating, roller derby, wrest-ling, cattle-penning, and even aSunday church service that wasattended by hundreds.
“On Saturday night we neededmore bleachers in front of thestage,” Bates said, noting the1970s tribute bands were par-ticularly popular.
“The volunteers are alreadytalking about next year. Whenyour volunteers want to comeback year after year, that’s suc-cess. Without volunteers, wewouldn’t have a next year,”Bates concluded.

Humankindnesstouches hearts
It’s not that hard.Reaching out to a stranger, be it hold-
ing open a door for someone with theirhands full or letting someone go aheadin the grocery line.
Or saving a life.We call them random acts of kind-
ness and they are the kind of random-ness people welcome into their lives.
This week the community learnedabout the heroic actions of four LowerMainland drivers who helped a Langleywoman who was suffering a massiveheart attack while driving in Burnaby.
Further down the road, peopletried to help at the scene of a crash inKootenay Park between a tractor trailerand a vehicle carrying a family of four.
In one case, a life was saved – atleast long enough for the trained profes-sionals to take over. In the other, fourlives were lost despite efforts of passers-by – but the fact that people were sowilling to help may give at least a bit ofcomfort to the victims’ survivors. Thedecency of people around us alwaystends to have an uplifting influence,even in the darkest circumstances.
What the heroes – and they areheroes, by any yardstick – did in thosecircumstances was somewhat moreexpansive than the opportunities forrandom acts of kindness that we nor-mally encounter.
But the contagious feeling of good-ness that we can engender with a sim-ple act of “being nice” to other peopleworks at every level.
And on top of that, in all our com-bined time as journalists at The TIMES,we’ve never found anyone who feltregret at having helped someone else.On the contrary, all reports indicate thatit feels great.
So the next time you see someone inneed of a helping hand, reach out.
You may not always be saving a life,but you’ll certainly be touching a heart– maybe even your own.
– H.C. & B.G.
I don’t know of many whoaren’t enjoying this onslaught ofnice weather currently upon us– appeased that the sun is threaten-ing to stay for a few days, at least.
Attendance at this weekend’sCountry Fest fair in Maple Ridgeand the block party celebration indowntown Maple Ridge are strongindicators of just how anxiouspeople are to get outdoors and havesome fun in something other thanliquid sunshine.
For instance, thousands swarmed to the AlbionFairgrounds, taking in the midway rides, games,activities, and live entertainment.
While I’m thrilled to see the community rejoi-cing at these family-oriented parties, I want tosend out a little reminder to leave your four-legged family members at home.
Admittedly, it’s gets my dander up to see somefolks attend these kinds of events and they’rewalking among the big crowds of people with adog that is obviously scared, overwhelmed, dis-tressed, hot – or all of the above.
I don’t care how well trained the animal is, orhow much you love it. I don’t even want to hearthe excuses of separation anxiety or depressionthat apparently plague their pets.
If someone really loves his or her dog, leave itat home when the mercury begins to rise.
Now that leads me to a topic that makes myblood boil. Wandering through parking lots, howoften have you spotted an animal left inside avehicle while their human is inside a store shop-ping, or off revelling in some form of summerfun?
Each year, animal welfare organizations, suchas the Maple Ridge SPCA, respond to hundreds ofcomplaints about dogs left in hot cars.
On a warm day, temperatures inside a parkedcar can quickly climb well above 38 degreesCelsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit). Dogs can with-stand high temperatures for only a very shorttime before suffering irreparable brain damage ordeath.
Take an incident in Burnabyearlier this month, where a GoodSamaritan noticed a puppy lockedin a kennel in a car left sitting indirect sunlight at BCIT.
The distressed dog was bark-ing and it did not appear to haveany water. With the exception ofthe vehicles sunroof, which wasslightly ajar, the car was sealed forsome two hours.
The five-month-old puppy wasunresponsive and not breathing
by the time authorities arrived and broke her freeof the sweltering hot prison. Despite efforts toresuscitate her, that dog could not be saved.
Or what about another very public examplenear Victoria, where an off-duty police officer lefta 10-month-old German shepherd, which wasbeing trained as a police dog, in a hot SUV forabout three hours while he was out fishing.
Fortunately, in this case, some other GoodSamaritans stepped in when they heard the dogbarking and yelping in distress, and put a tentover the SUV and began spraying it with coldwater while waiting for help.
I don’t care what the reasoning. There’s noexcuse for such blatant stupidity, cruelty, anddownright animal abuse.
Dogs are typically one of the most loyal friendsa human can have. If given a smattering of affec-tion, they’ll pretty much follow their owners tothe end of the earth, and do anything to protecttheir human from harm.
Too bad humans don’t reciprocate.Convicting the owner of animal cruelty seems
too little, way too late. It’s not going to bring thedog back, and no punishment handed out in aCanadian court would ever be severe enough tobe a deterrent to others.
So all I can do is plead with our readers: Nexttime you think about bringing your pooch alongto a festival or other summer outing.
Don’t.Leave your beloved animal at home, where it
can stay cool, well hydrated, and comfortable.

Dear Editor,Maple Ridge continues to have the very
contentious issue of growth versus farm-ing.
Mission and Pitt Meadows are bothsmaller cities with smaller populations,yet those more progressive cities havemore shopping and jobs than Maple Ridge– because of a small group of naysayerssupported by a few councillors and anMLA.
Only an election will change the coursefor Maple Ridge.
Maple Ridge is about to becomeMayberry.
The probability is very high, becauseMission is close to having another majorshopping centre to include Wal-Mart andWinners.
Port Coquitlam also has major shoppingwith a new super Wal-Mart about to open.
The chance of any major shopping com-ing to Maple Ridge is slender, indeed,especially when our council continues tostall the Albion shopping because of thefarm issue.
That land has not been farmed in morethan 100 years. Where is the logic? Whereis common sense?
You likely noticed the new industrialpark just south of the Lougheed Highwayin Mission.
You must also concede that Abbotsfordand Chilliwack have local jobs for morethan 60 per cent of their population.
In contrast, Maple Ridge has 67 per centof its residents leaving for work and shop-ping each day. You need only to turn onthe TV to see the traffic report from Globalflying over the Lougheed Highway and theMary Hill Bypass.
Think quality of life. What if we hadlocal jobs?
Naysayers and the Agricultural LandCommission killed the Pelton project and1,600 good-paying jobs with a payrollexpected to be $100 million a year, as wellas property taxes projected at $5.8 milliona year.
Maple Ridge has increased propertytaxes for 10 consecutive years, withincreases exceeding 53 per cent, while ourpopulation grew by only 32 per cent. Thisis not good financial management.
Anger and frustration overtook me whenMaple Ridge municipal staff received wageincreases of 38 per cent over the past fiveyears, with 101 staff members makingmore than $75,000 per year. It’s now cost-ing us $100 million just to run the muni-cipality.
I don’t know anyone else making wageincreases of 38 per cent in the past fiveyears. This happened while Canada andthe U.S.A. were caught in the grip ofdeepest recession since the 1930s. Wehave not fully recovered yet.
We need big changes. Past and presentmayor and council have failed us.
We need a progressive alliance of like-minded people who will take control ofspending and taxes by promoting businessgrowth that will bring Maple Ridge in tothe 21st century.
We have done nothing for far too long.Embrace change.Without change, we will wither and die
as a viable community.Vote for change in November 2011.

Licencing feesunfair to RVersDear Editor,
I would like to see no length restric-tions on RVs. Council wouldn’t have todeal with the issue again.
Would you see RVers rushing out tobuy longer ones? In this economy, notlikely.
With limited RV space available inMaple Ridge, RVers have a choiceof selling their RVs, finding space inanother area, or paying for a licenceto keep an RV on their property – andnone are an option for some families.
Remember property taxes jumpedsignificantly this year.
My RV is also the evacuation centrenot only for my family, but for threeother families and their pets. In anevacuation, pets are not allowed tocome with you to evacuation centres.You have to make your own arrange-ments for your pets.
My neighbours have also equippedtheir RV with supplies as part of theirevacuation plan. They have also indi-cated that they would have to sell theirRV should a licence fee be charged foran RV that is too long.
With three kids in their family thatpaints a really sad picture.
I am on a disability income and I,too, would find myself faced with hav-ing an RV that is too long under thecurrent length restrictions.
The campgrounds in Maple Ridgeare set up for longer RVs with theirpull-through sites. It would be a shameto see these sites unused in our camp-grounds, and if some of the eight percent of the homeowners in MapleRidge have to sell their RVs, then Icould see a ripple effect connecting thedecreased numbers of RVs and the cof-fers of campgrounds/parks and recrea-tion.
Joan Partridge, Maple RidgeEditor’s note: Maple Ridge council consid-
ered the matter Monday. A staff recommen-dation to allow any sized RV, as long asthe entire vehicle fits on the property, wasdeferred until August. Story page A9…

‘Clean coal’ amarketing ployDear Editor,
If you’re like me, then you’ve probablyseen one too many of those TV ads thattalk about how “clean coal” is supposedlypowering America.
In truth, there’s no such thing as “cleancoal,” and no homes or businesses in theUnited States or Canada are being pow-ered by “clean coal.”
“Clean coal” is a complete fictiondreamed up by some marketing person inan office building somewhere.
Environmental experts from around theworld all agree that coal is the dirtiestfuel source one can use to produce elec-tricity.
Not only is coal the dirtiest of all fuels,it’s also the biggest source of greenhousegas emissions like carbon dioxide, whichcannot currently be captured and storedin an even remotely cost-effective way.
So until the emissions and pollutantsgenerated by burning coal can be cap-tured and stored safely, which is look-ing more and more doubtful every day,no one should be claiming that coal is a“clean” energy source because it is noteven close to being clean.

Maple Ridge earned anunwanted distinctionwith Vancouver Police.
by Niam ScallanPostmedia Network Inc.
Maple Ridge has madeit to the third spot in theLower Mainland – for thenumber of rioters whohave turned themselves inafter the Stanley Cup riots.
Four Maple Ridge resi-dents have turned them-selves in. Only Surrey withnine and Vancouver withseven are ahead of MapleRidge in statistics.
In fact, one Maple Ridgeyouth received a lot ofcriticism in social mediaafter being caught in a riotphoto. He later turned him-self into police.
Vancouver police offi-cers have their sights on111 people thus far fortheir roles in the riot, andhundreds more can alsoexpect to be charged, saidVancouver’s police chief.
Updating the VancouverPolice Board on the riotprobe, Jim Chu said thatthe 50-member integratedriot investigation team– made up of Vancouverpolice officers, Mounties,and “civilian experts” – is
sifting through thousandsof emails, video clips, andimages to identify andprosecute those responsiblefor the melee.
“There are many chal-lenges in this investigation,given the sheer amount ofevidence that investigatorshave to go through,” Chusaid.
He added that investiga-tors have 202 reportedcrimes on file, with any-where from one to 300 sus-pects for each crime.
Chu said 37 rioters – 30men and seven women– have turned themselvesin to police and most ofthose aren’t Vancouverresidents. Investigators arepreparing charges againstall 37, he said.
Riot-related chargesunder considerationinclude participation ina riot, assault, mischief,break-and-enter, theft, rob-bery, arson, and weaponspossession.
But Chu said investiga-
tors are holding off oncharges until they knowthe extent of each rioter’sinvolvement in the chaos.
“Our objective is to makesure we have a completepackage before we bringthese individuals before thecourts,” he said.
Vancouver Mayor GregorRobertson – chairmanof the board – said hehoped to see all riotersheld accountable for theircrimes. He also praisedthe police department andthanked officers for their“patience and commitmentto find solutions.”
“It was an extraordin-ary time for our city,”Robertson said.
“In the heat of themoment, there were somegood decisions made tocontain and prevent thesituation from being a lotworse.”
According to Chu,Vancouver police depart-ment plans to completeits internal review by thefirst week of August beforeturning over the findings toan independent riot review.
Chu and Robertson willbe interviewed by theindependent review team –which includes two Ottawapolice officers – before thefinal riot report is releasedAug. 31.

Recreational vehicle parking is backon the table in late August.by Maria [email protected]
Some folks don’t mind look-ing out the window and seeinga recreation vehicle across thestreet – others don’t like it.
This is the conundrum MapleRidge council is faced with as itreworks its bylaw about whatkind of RV can be parked onresidential properties.
“There is a communitystandard or expectation,” saidMaple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin.
After attending an open house on June29, and receiving written feedback on theissue, Maple Ridge staff recommendedthat recreational vehicles of any size beallowed on residential property – as longas the “entire vehicle” fits on the property.
But a lengthy discussion at Monday’sworkshop ended with mayor and council-lors asking staff to get more informationabout issues like newer, smaller lots.
This information will come back at theend of August.
Staff also recommended that recreationalvehicles on residential properties had to
be owned by the property owneror the person who lives in thebuilding or a relative, and thatvisitors could temporarily keepRVs on a residential property.
Council wanted a stricter def-inition of what a “relative” was,and this will also come back tocouncil, Daykin said.
Eighty-four people were at anopen house on June 29 to givefeedback on the recreationalvehicle bylaw issue.
Of the 74 responses that theDistrict received, respondents overwhelm-ingly supported allowing RVs of any sizeas long as they fit on a property.
At the same open house, residents wereasked about the complaint process.
Staff recommended that complaintswould be limited to a radius of 100metres in urban areas, and 400 metres innon-urban areas, with three complaintsallowed per year. This issue will alsocome back to council in August.

The fire department isstill looking into how afire at Fraser Street andNorth Avenue started.by Maria [email protected]
The family who owns aburned, boarded-up build-ing on Fraser Street inHaney wants to fully reno-vate it.
Pratt Sandhu, a memberof the family who ownsthe building, pointed outthe building at the intersec-tion of Fraser and NorthAvenue, is one of the old-est in the neighbourhoodand is “almost a land-mark.”
The family would liketo renovate the build-ing and have commercialunits below and residentialabove.
“It will look like oneof the nicest buildings intown,” Sandhu said.
Despite the fire, Sandhusaid the building is stillstructurally sound.
It was fully gutted priorto the fire. But the familyhas been finishing otherprojects before gettingstarted on fixing the struc-ture, Sandhu said.
Construction on thebuilding could start in
September, he added.Meanwhile, the investi-
gation into the cause of theblaze is still ongoing, saidassistant fire chief HowardExner.
The boarded-up down-town building burnedbadly on July 8, in whatthe fire department is call-ing a “human-caused fire.”
With the electricity and
gas cut off for years, thefire appeared to have beencaused by someone, assist-ant fire chief Mark Smittentold The TIMES on-site theday of the fire.
The building was tightlyboarded up for years, butthere might have been afew access points wherepeople have gotten in,Smitton said.

After more than five decades in the community, Maple Ridge Concert Band is expanding this fall to include a beginners group.
Starting this fall, the long-standing Maple Ridge ConcertBand is growing.by Roxanne [email protected]
Maple Ridge Concert Band isexpanding.
Conductor Ed Dumas confirmedthat the adult concert band isdiversifying.
It’s adding a new beginners’ ele-ment starting in the fall.
“Recently we have discovered alarge number of adults who wouldlike to play a musical instrumentwith us, but find that our musicallevel is much too intimidating foradult beginners,” Dumas said.
“This new group is intended to fillthat very need in our community.”
Titled the adult beginning concert(ABC) band, the new group willrehearse Thursday evenings from7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Thomas HaneySecondary beginning in September.
“If you have often longed to beable to play a musical instrument,or stopped playing long ago andwould like to return to it, now isyour chance,” Dumas said, notingthe new group is intended for adultbeginners or adults returning tomusic after many years of not play-ing.
For the new ABC band, “musicalinstruction will begin at groundzero,” said Dumas.
That means no one – even begin-ners – need feel intimidated by thelevel of music.
“This is also a great opportun-ity for adults to have an affordablenight out socializing with otherswhile learning a valuable skill,”Dumas said.
The response to the new ABCband has been very positive, he said.
“Last spring,when I beganto put this ideainto motion,I printed upsome flyersand passedthem aroundto people that Iknow,” Dumasexplained.
“We alreadyhad enoughpeople to runthe new groupbefore the summer even began, butwe will always welcome more musi-cians. This is very exciting!”
In order to join the Maple RidgeConcert Band, musicians pay a $150annual membership fee. Family ratesare also available.
Instrument choices are limited towinds, such as flute, oboe, clarinet,saxophone, trumpet, French horn,
trombone, baritone, and tuba, aswell as percussion. All musiciansmust acquire their own instrument,but for those who are new to con-cert band, Dumas said he will offerassistance in making those decisions.
Maple Ridge Concert Band is alocal adult concert band that hasbeen in existence for more than 50years and currently under Dumas’sdirection is well known around theLower Mainland and the provincefor its “excellence in music,” he
explained.MRCB per-
forms aroundthe LowerMainlandthroughout theyear, and twiceannually at TheACT.
Its membersalso recentlyconcluded theirfree early sum-mer TwilightTuesdays in
the bandstand at Maple Ridge’sMemorial Peace Park. That wrappedup last week, giving the band mem-bers a break now for summer.
For further information about join-ing the concert band, people cansend an email to [email protected], orcall 604-467-7115.

Rumour has it a few ducks may try tomake a run for it during a duck race onthe Alouette River this Sunday.by Sylver [email protected]
You’ve probably seen them waddlingaround town promoting their upcoming firstannual Rotary Duck Race on July 31.
There are five of the 6 feet-tall, yel-low-feathered friends working hard tomake sure everyone in Maple Ridge, PittMeadows, and outside of the commun-ity, have the chance to win a 2011 JeepWrangler Sport 4X4 worth $24,692.
Second place is a one-week cruise for twoon Holland America Lines.
Although none of the ducks speak,rumour has it that two of the ducks areplanning a daring escape from the starting gate the dayof the race, where an estimated 10,000 rubber ducks willleave the containment pen and paddle down river to thefinish line.
“I have it on good authority that a couple of the ducksmay be working on an escape attempt at the race,” said aduck insider.
“From what I understand, they have triedto secure a couple of inner tubes to assist inthe caper,” he elaborated.
“We hope the containment area in the Alouette RiverPeter Davies built will prevent that from happening.”
Leading up to the big day, one or more of the five pro-motional ducks have been seen at various communityevents including this past weekend’s 224th Street Party,
Country Fest, farmers’ markets, and other communityevents, even the recent Rotary convention in HarrisonHot Springs.
The informant explained that the five ducks love theirrole promoting the race. They are in a race to raise$100,000 for KidSport and local youth groups.
One of the duck’s favourite memories came recentlywhile meandering through Memorial Peace Park.
“A lady at the farmers’ market wanted todance, so the duck lea her up in front of theband and signalled to the performer to begin.And they waltzed,” his informant recounted.
His other favourite thing is meeting all thechildren.
“The little children gravitate to him becausehe is like a cartoon character. But, being a pro-moter of an important fundraiser comes with ahuge measure of trust and responsibility, espe-cially with the children,” the informant relayed.
If the duck sees that a child is apprehensive,he will usually hug their parent to show themhe’s not scary.
The five ducks all have their own person-alities, but they share one thing in common – promot-ing the duck race and raising money for Meadow RidgeRotary Club charities.
The race runs down Alouette River at Maple RidgePark. Festivities run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with the raceat 1 p.m. Tickets and info: www.rotaryduckrace.ca.

A new Rotarian is working hard toprepare the river for the upcomingduck race on July 31.by Sylver [email protected]
A small flock of rubber ducksswam down Alouette River onMonday, in what organizers arecalling the preliminary trials forthis weekend’s big race day.
These little duckies are gettinggeared up – one might say – forthe inaugural charity Rotary DuckRace being held this Sunday atMaple Ridge Park.
But they aren’t the only onesprepping for the big race on July31.
There’s been a large contingentof volunteers working for monthsto organize and promote andsell tickets for the race, whichis designed to raise $100,000 forlocal kids’ sports charities.
Included in that group is onevolunteer who has been working
behind the scenes to design andbuild the starting pen, waterwayguides, and finish gates needed tofacilitate the race on the river.
Peter Davies lives in Whonnockand he’s put in more than 150hours into construction of a ser-ies of plasticpipes and net-ting necessaryto manoeuvrethe ducks downAlouette Riversafely.
The MapleRidge mortgagebroker has beena Rotarian for just less than ayear and described the job as funand challenging.
“I worked very closely with thegroups responsible for the riverand we mutually agreed that thenatural flow of the river wouldnot be obstructed,” he said.
During his research, Daviescame across an old federal lawthat stated a canoe with two bun-dles of beaver pelts must be ableto pass through at all times.
“So, I’m making sure we don’tbreak any laws,” he laughed.
Some of his equipment anda handful of ducks were testedMonday, and the full dressrehearsal will come Wednesday,when the equipment he built is
put to the testwith 3,000 rub-ber ducks beingsent down river.
“Sunday isgoing to be agreat day, espe-cially for thechildren,” Daviessaid, reluctant to
take any credit for his contribu-tion as either a builder or mascot.
Instead, he gave all credit tothe myriad of volunteers whocome together on this project.
“It’s not just me. It’s the clubas a body, members who volun-teer to man a booth, sell tickets,be a duck, coordinate volunteers,take care of financial issues, andgaming licences” that are makingthis fundraising initiative a suc-cess, said Davies.

Services for a long-time MapleRidge sportsman were held thispast weekend.
by Sylver [email protected]
An avid archer, rifleman, hunter,and canoe maker lost his battlewith Parkinson’s disease lastmonth. Morris Burton Elliott wasborn Nov. 27, 1939 and died June30.
His wife of 47 years, Edith wholives in Maple Ridge, reminiscedabout how her late husband lovedcompeting in archery and thenparticipating in black-powdershooting and dressing up in turnof the century costumes, beforeturning to his final passion, canoemaking.
Morris had just finished a three-year hitch in the navy. Edith was18 and working as a florist whenthey met a house party in Victoria.
“One of my cousins invited oneof his buddies, Morris, who sat inthe cornerall nightplaying gui-tar,” saidEdith. “Andmy cousinphoned meand – youknow theold story– she said‘He’s kindainterestedin you,’ soI said hecould call,and he did.”
The Elliotts were married a yearlater in 1964.
Their only child, Leonore, wasborn in Calgary in 1966. Morrisworked in construction and gotinvolved in archery.
“He’s always been an outdoorsman,” said Edith.
Morris became a professionalarcher after they moved back toB.C. in 1968. He continued on inconstruction while becoming agood enough archer to representCanada at the 1971 World ArcheryChampionships in York, England.He went on to win many tourna-
ments and trophies.After that he turned pro and
represented the company of FredBear Bows for two years, before ashoulder injury forced him to hangup his bow and take up traditionalrifles – also know as black-powdershooting. His daughter Leonore
participated in this sport with him,both donning full mock-era dressand camping in teepees.
More than 20 years ago anewspaper article wrote: “Frombeneath his hand-sewn buckskinoutfits, fur hats…out of his redCapote, Morris drew forth hisbusiness card which proclaimed“Rotten Stump Trading Co…primi-tive leathers…”
It was during this time thatMorris developed a deep love forcanoeing.
“He was a mountain man, bornin the wrong century. He alwayswanted to make his own canoe,”said Edith.
With her encouragement, Morrisquit his construction job in 1996and built his own shop. He namedit Kanaka Creek Canoes.
His canoes were wooden can-vas canoes, some in conventionalstyles, and some in the more trad-itional style with lashed seats andpegged gunnels.
“He built his business up fromnothing, I helped him put togethera brochure and business cards andhe sold his first canoe to a guy inBellingham,” Edith said.
“From his workshop he restored,repaired, and built beautiful finelycrafted wood and canvas canoes,”she noted. Many of his canoes andsupplies left from the black-pow-der shooting days, were rented asmovie props.
He had built and restored morethan 100 canoes in 12 years beforebeing diagnosed with Parkinson’sdisease.
Morris closed his canoe work-shop in 2008 because of failinghealth. From the time he was diag-nosed until he passed away wassix years.
Edith said dementia is a hardthing to have and that six yearsis very fast for someone withParkinson’s.
“Not all Parkinson’s people getdementia, but unfortunately Morrisdid,” Edith said.

• The gate-keeper and regulator for calcium.
• Co-factor in activating over 350 differentchemical reactions.
Our very successful and effective formula is based on ionic and homeopathicsciences and as such does not fit the traditional paradigm of larger RDAelemental values. Products with larger elemental values do no typicallytranslate to larger absorption rates. Cellular up-take is what really counts.
With nano-particle ionic calcium and magnesium the problems of too much, unused, unabsorbedand wasted calcim and magnesium are eliminated. Just because we ingest a large quantity ofminerals into our bodies does not mean it gets absorbed or utilized. It should be remembered thatfor any minerals to be absorbed into the cell, they must be small enough and in an ionic form tobe transported through ion channels located in the cell membrane. Also, and importantly, smallelectrically charged mineral ions are absorbed through the sublingual and mucous membranes ofthe mouth, thus bypassing the digestive system.

contraction and relaxation, blood clotting,buffering blood ph and more.
