One little rubber duck, then two lit-tle rubber ducks hit the water Sunday, followed by another 8,300 of them.

And after the few minutes it took them to make it to the collection point in the South Alouette River by Maple Ridge Park, one lucky participant, Roanne Viveiros, won a new car.

“It was a pretty good turnout for a rainy day,” said Meadow Ridge Rotary Duck Race volunteer Irena Shantz.

“We were hoping to hit $100,000 this year.”

That didn’t happen, though, as pro-ceeds dropped from last year, when $89,555 was raised for 27 local non-profit organizations and Rotary youth projects.

It was a day when they should have been stocking their new desks with duo tangs and pencil crayons, meeting their new teach-ers and showing off new shoes to their friends.

Instead, five young girls spent their “first day of school” on Tues-

day sitting in a circle in front of the door to Maple Ridge-Pitt Mead-ows MLA Doug Bing’s office, play-ing with toy horses.

Their parents were there with homemade signs, protesting the labour deadlock between the pro-vincial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation that cut short the last school year, and continues to pare down another .

“We’re very, very frustrated – extremely frustrated,” said Karen Learmonth, who was part of the group of about 12 adults and an

equal number of students at the rally.

Parents are frustrated with the government, she added, and the fact members won’t even talk to them.

“They shut the doors, and locked us out,” she said of MLA office staff.

“We expected we’d be able to voice our concerns, talk about some of the issues and ask some questions. Now I’m really upset that they’re not here. Now I’m re-ally angry.”

The group met online, on a B.C. Parent Support Group website, and arranged the rally.

“I think what they’re trying to do is break the union – they’re not in-terested in negotiating at all,” said Learmonth. “They’re more inter-ested in saving money.”

She added that the real issue for her is class size and composition.

“I want my kid, who has special needs, to be taken care of. And I see there’s less and less support for those teachers to help those kids.”

Darren Ell describes his army of

truck drivers and road maintenance crews who work on Lougheed Highway as “unseen janitors,” who keep the road open in fair weather and foul, who cart away dead pets and deer, slow-moving possums who can’t dodge a speeding Dodge, and the odd unlucky coyote who wasn’t so wiley.

Increasingly, they have another challenge they must face – the con-stant crush of increasing volumes of cars and trucks driven by motorists hellbent on getting to where they’re going.

Which is why the crews that drive the one-trucks from the border of Mission to the Pitt River Bridge have to seek the safety of the night, when traffic volumes diminish and it be-comes a bit easier to clean up the road.

“People don’t respect the lights on the vehicles when we’re out there,” said Ell, general manager at Main-road Lower Mainland Contracting, in Surrey.

“That’s why, more and more, is be-coming night-shift work.”

Sometimes the public’s careless-ness becomes fatal. People just drive their vehicles into the trucks and equipment on the side of the road.

In the 1990s, two workers were killed in such an incident.

“A vehicle came through the barri-cade and killed our guys. That’s what everybody’s concerned about.”

But Ell wouldn’t blame the increas-ing use of cellphones.

Once the crews know they’re safe, they can focus on what there to do: keep the road surface clean and safe; keep the ditches clean so they drain away snow and rain; and keep the road right of way clear of tall bushes

and grasses.“They’re looking for unsafe condi-

tions,” said Ell.Lots of stuff falls from vehicles as

they roll down the highway.Construction debris makes up a

fair chunk of that. “It’s usually stuff that falls off ve-

hicles.”And wildlife who haven’t figure out

how to cross safely, or who lack the speed to do so are often casualties. They, too, must be cleared from the road during one of the patrols done once a day.

Skunks and possums often get hit.

Deer can be hit as well and, and coy-otes. Family dogs and cats are other casualties.

Every four months, the entire highway has to be swept to remove the accumulation of gravel, rocks and sticks that accumulate, particu-larly on the shoulders.

“That’s an area we receive a lot of complaints on, especially with cy-clists,” says Ell.

He stressed that Mainroad wants to keep the public informed of road conditions and the work they’re do-ing on them. A Twitter account pro-vides instant information. There’s a

24-hour hotline.Those duties just describe the

chores during the fair weather of the warmer months.

Keeping the road clear when a winter storm dumps a metre of snow on the road then drops to -10 C is another story.

Rick Wills is one of the Mainroad crew ensures the road is spic and span every day. His responsibility earlier in the summer was a stretch of Lougheed Highway between Co-quitlam and the Mission border that has to be patrolled every 24 hours.

In a cruise that takes less than an hour, Wills drives his yellow, one-tonne Ford Super Duty in the right lane, barely matching the speed of the traffic.

When he spots a piece of trash, he scoots over a lane, parks in the me-dian in the middle of the highway and jumps out to toss the article into the back of the truck.

In a few minutes, he’s back into the driving lanes looking for more items that shouldn’t be on a highway.

If you’ve been a motorist and seen a dead animal on the road, Wills and his crew haul it to the nearest munic-ipal storage facility. It’s a chore that must be done three or four times a week.

But mostly it’s materials or car parts that have to be kept off the road.

Wills has been doing the job for several years. It brings its own satis-

faction because he knows he’s help-ing people get safely to where they’re going.

“I’m a taxpayer too,” he says. “It’s my road, too.”

He just wishes the motoring public recognized that.

Mainroad’s trucks and crews aren’t on the road for sightseeing or plea-sure purposes, clogging up lanes just to inconvenience others, he says.

They’re there to make sure the road is clear and functioning properly so the other users reach their destina-tion as safely as possible.

“We’re out there to make it safe for them but they don’t realize that.”

And they don’t want to wait.“It’s kind of a fast-food society,” he

adds. People are just focused on getting to

where they’re going.“When we’re out there bigger

equipment … the public doesn’t re-ally give us a lot of breaks. You could have a close call pretty well every day.”

They had to look to the distant shores of Kingborough, Tasma-nia and another Aussie town, Strathfield, near Sydney, as well as Calgary, to find some written words about recording public meetings.

After considering those, Maple Ridge councillors have come up with a new set of rules to govern how public meetings of council are recorded and accessed in the digital age.

Council OK’d its new Record-ings of Council Policy last week. The policy allows staff to remove video recordings or parts of them from the website, “where it con-siders it prudent or advisable to do so.”

That’s the same approach staff

followed last year when a video recording of a June 16, 2013 com-mittee meeting was edited, the reposted on the district’s website, because of comments made by Coun. Corisa Bell. She had ques-tioned staff about the budget.

Mayor Ernie Daykin said the policy is to protect the district from being sued for defamation, if it allowed such comments to remain online.

He said that unlike the House of Commons or B.C. legislature, comments made at council meet-ings are not protected from libel and slander laws.

“You don’t name names. You have to be careful what you’re saying. Other than that, it’s not edited.”

However, libel lawyer David F. Sutherland said last year that recordings of public meetings have “qualified privilege,” mean-ing they’re largely protected from legal action from what was said at them.

“There’s a very wide protection for a fair and accurate report, which a videotape would be, of a council meeting,” under Section 4 of the Libel and Slander Act.”

The new policy also allows vid-eo recordings to be kept online for four years, then archived for another three years.

“I don’t think anybody was remotely close to that,” Daykin said.

After considering the policy in July, more changes were made to it before it was approved last week. The opening statement says video meetings “may” be livestreamed, rather than saying they will be livestreamed.

The meetings include regular council, workshops and commit-tee of the whole meetings.

But council hasn’t even decided if the Monday morning work-shops will be livestreamed.

“I guess we’ll see what the inter-est is in that,” Daykin said.

New policy still allows editing of video recordingsPublic meetings will be online for four years

For the recordThe story “Mayor Walters won’t run again” (The News, Aug. 29) contained incorrect information. Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters has one grandson, Sawyer, and one granddaughter, Lennon – who are cousins born 18 days apart.

“Make sure the technol-ogy works and then go from there.”

“We’ve had the odd little wrinkle even live streaming from council. It’s not as sim-ple as I think it is.”

The policy also allows mayor or chair of the meet-ing to stop livestreaming and recording of a meeting if it’s deemed prudent to do so.

Coun. Bell wonders why district staff didn’t look a

little closer to home and look at recording policies in Metro Vancouver cities. However, there were no written policies from nearby available.

“I believe that all videos should be public property.”

Bell said the clause that gives staff the option to edit video recordings of meetings based on the possibility of li-ability because of contentious statements, isn’t needed.

“There really shouldn’t be anything they’re concerned

about.”“They don’t need to be ed-

ited. It’s a public meeting.”Coincidental with the new

policy, has been a major up-grade of the Blaney Room at Maple Ridge municipal hall, as well as equipment up-grades in council chambers and another meeting room on the second floor for a total cost of about $150,000.

The Blaney Room, where council’s Monday morning workshops are held, has now

been fitted with audio visual equipment and cameras to allow livestreaming of meet-ings, if council decides later to do that.

Three large touch-screens are also on the walls in the room that has been redeco-rated with new carpet, paint and lighting.

VICTORIA – There was an uproar in the B.C. legislature this spring when Transpor-tation Minister Todd Stone went ahead with $19 million in cuts to low-usage coastal ferry routes.

The plan had been laid out in detail before last year’s election. It targeted sailings where ridership was in the low teens or even single digits.

On some sailings, the Transport Canada-mandated crew outnumbered the passengers.

Despite the cries of doom, most of the sailing reductions have been managed – with one glaring exception. The Discov-ery Coast Circle Tour route saw its ferry from Port Hardy to Bella Coola replaced, using the smallest vessel in the B.C. Fer-ries fleet, the open-decked Nimpkish.

This move wasn’t a direct response to low usage, a chronic issue with some of the minor route sailings along the coast. It was to avoid ordering a replacement for the Queen of Chilliwack, which sailed directly between Port Hardy and Bella Coola.

This summer the first leg was consoli-dated with the Northern Expedition, the vessel that replaced the doomed Queen of the North on the Inside Passage run up to Prince Rupert. At Bella Bella, after a

layover of a couple of hours, the Nimpk-ish took over with space for 16 standard vehicles on its deck and a midnight ar-rival time in Bella Coola.

The direct route had been mainly used by European tourists, who sailed from the Lower Mainland to Victoria, drove the length of the Island, ferried to Bella Coola and drove through the rugged Chilcotin to Williams Lake and back down south to complete the circle tour.

The new route incorporated stops in remote outposts Ocean Falls and Shear-water, making it even longer. Warnings came early.

“That’s where 90 per cent of the [BC Ferries] money is being lost, on the milk runs, and that’s the part they are keeping,” Petrus Rykes, a tourism operator at Ana-him Lake for 40 years, said in March.

“The part they’ve cancelled was at 70 per cent capacity, the second highest of all the fleet routes.”

Reports of a bad slump have come to pass. The changes meant bookings couldn’t be made until April, too late for most international travelers.

A survey by Bella Coola Valley Tourism in mid-summer found most operators losing business, from 10 to 90 per cent. A bus tour of Canadian seniors heading west from Williams Lake was terminated after 14 years. One tourism operator on Highway 20 is considering closing down.

Stone and his family took the new route themselves in early August, with the min-ister offering sunny reports on his blog.

Stone summed up his experience this way:“At the end of the day, my assessment

is that the Nimpkish is a good tourism product if tourists are made fully aware as to the type of service it provides. If correct expectations are set, I believe the Nimpkish can be marketed as a valuable tourism component of the Discovery Coast Circle Tour.

“The decision to do this rests squarely on the shoulders of the tourism indus-try and tourism operators who need to decide whether or not they want this service to work, to grow and to be viable in order to capture a share of the thou-sands of international tourists looking for exactly the kind of adventure the Nimpk-ish provides.”

Got that, Discovery Coast tourism folks? If this milk run doesn’t work next year, it will be your fault. Heck, the Nimp-kish has free snacks and drinks for your 10-hour voyage, much of it in the dark.

Bleak summer for coastal ferry

Class warfareIngrid RiceGuest View

Thanks to the ongoing labour dispute, our nerves are all a little frayed – as parents contemplate child-care arrangements, and the standoff between the B.C. Teachers Federation and the Ministry of Education shows every sign of dragging on.

Compounding the confusion are union leaders who have underestimated the will of our elected of-ficials, and mixed messages from Education Minister Peter Fassbender, who’s made it clear he has no inter-est in legislating teachers back to work.

Indeed, it appears his government, of all stakehold-ers, is the least concerned with finding a genuine solu-tion. Why else would it sooner offer parents $40 per day to subsidize childcare, than provide what could be seen as a reasonable offer? This gesture – about equal to the estimated $12 million saved in the strike – is hard to reconcile with “where is the money com-ing from?” arguments he’s advanced.

People can also be forgiven for being confused by the ministry’s multiple pockets. The one in which it keeps $46 million in capital funds for last week’s re-announced planned Clayton North high school is not, we’re told, the same pocket in which it keeps funds for staff wages.

Also overshadowing attempts to mediate the cur-rent dispute is the ongoing court case over Bill 28, with which the government, 12 years ago, eliminated teachers’ rights to negotiate class sizes and composi-tion. It’s interesting the B.C. Liberals are proposing a new clause that would allow either side to opt out, should they be unhappy with the outcome of the court case.

Given that the B.C. Supreme Court has twice found the government bargained in bad faith – a decision under appeal – it would appear only one party could ultimately benefit from such a clause.

Given the lack of movement on both sides of the bargaining table, students, parents and other taxpay-ers can be forgiven for wondering if it’s the so-called leaders who should first be returning to class.

The following is from alswithcourage.blogspot.ca, courtesy Nadine Sands.

In the Christmas movie Elf, Santa Claus is seen stranded in Central Park, New York. The motor on his sleigh breaks down and Buddy the elf attempts

to fix it. As Buddy works on the sleigh, Santa explains to Bud-

dy that, in the good old days, he would never have this problem because his sleigh was powered by the spirit of Christmas.

Buddy’s girlfriend convinces a crowd to join her in singing Christmas carols. The group’s singing is broad-casted nationwide, and soon everyone is singing, which raises the spirit of Christmas to new heights.

Santa’s sleigh is soon seen soaring in the sky.I had my first symptoms of ALS four years ago this

month. Over the past four years, I have lost the ability to walk,

talk, move most of my body and swallow properly; in es-sence, every muscle in my body has stopped working or is on it’s way to that result.

It’s understandable for anyone in these circumstances to be in low spirits.

As I experience my body deteriorating on a daily basis, I look for things to raise my spirits, and the recent ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has done this.

The money raised is great, but what’s even more impor-tant is that the challenge is a sign that society is in our corner, ready to fight this disease with us arm in arm.

Right now with my elevated spirits, I think I could guide Santa’s sleigh clear around the world.

THE NEWS/letters

Editor, The News:Re: Where has all the money gone? (Letters, Aug. 27).Andrea Munro is quite correct in her definition of nego-

tiation, but goes on to use an imperfect analogy that demon-strates compromise, which is not always a part of negotiation.

In the real world of negotiations, trust and good faith are required. In the case of the teachers’ union, we have a group that spent thousands last year trying to kick Liberal MLAs out of their jobs, then this year, without batting an eye, demanded a 16 per cent raise.

Oh, it’s about the children. Right.R. Hunter

Editor, The News:Re: Saving Slough seems simple (The News, Aug. 29).I just read with interest your story about the Katzie Slough.

I would love to see it restored to the way it was when I was a kid back in the ’50s.

When the slough was constructed, my great grandmother, back around 1907 or so, was the cook on the dredging barge that dug out the channel in order to help drain the land for farming.

It`s beyond sad to see how the side streams have filled in and the main channel has become a narrow imitation of the much wider waterway that it once was.

Ex chamber ex-dirrunning for councilB y P h i l M e l n y c h u [email protected]

Having seen the ins and outs of business first-hand, Dean Bar-bour now wants to bring that to council and grow Maple Ridge’s economy.

Barbour, former executive-di-rector for the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Chamber of Com-merce, announced last week we wants earn one of the six spots available when the Nov. 15 civic election takes place.

Barbour says with his back-ground in business consulting, retail and running the chamber from 2007 to 2010, he can contribute on that topic.

“In representing the people, I know what I can be good at.”

Barbour referred to another candidate, Karl Lun-dgren, who wants to do a study of shopping habits of Maple Ridge residents to see where people are spending their money. Barbour’s done two such sur-veys when he was with the chamber. He added many companies don’t want to locate in Maple Ridge be-cause it’s too close to other shopping centres in Lang-ley and Coquitlam.

“The magic [population] number is 100,000,” when retailers decide on whether to locate in a community.

“Until our population grows, we’re going to have that challenge.”

Barbour said he’ll be putting up his website soon where he’ll address the charges he faced after serving as executive-director of the chamber of commerce.

Fraud and forgery charges were dropped April 24, 2013 in Port Coquitlam provincial court.

Ruth Scher has children attend-ing at Hammond and Pitt Mead-ows elementary, and she is also an-gry at the government.

“It’s unprecedented. I can’t believe that they’re doing this to our kids,” said Scher.

“We’ve seen so much time gone by without our kids learning. June was a complete wasted month – so much so that I was forced to home school my kids during the sum-mer.”

“And they want to give us $40 for glorified babysitting? I don’t want my kids babysat. I want them in school. Learning.”

She was referring to the funding government has made available to parents who need to make daycare arrangements as the teachers’ strike continues.

She said the parents didn’t like be-ing locked out of Bing’s office.

“There’s extreme disappointment that we can’t even get in to talk to our MLA, representing the govern-ment, to talk to them about our concerns about this labour dispute,

and how we feel the government is prolonging it unnecessarily,” she added. “We tried to get in even to make an appointment, and the sec-retary had the doors locked.

“So much for democracy when the doors of your MLA are locked.”

Theresa Milne, a Laity View el-ementary Grade 7 student, isn’t looking forward to compacting the curriculum, or doing the school work in a shorter time frame. She said the June strike cost her class field trips to Cultus Lake and the Planetarium, as well as missed classroom time. She showed up Tuesday because she wants to get back to school, she said.

“I don’t think we’ll be going back to school this week. Maybe next week – let’s hope,” she said.

Veteran mediator Vince Ready walked away from the talks on Sat-urday, saying the two sides were at an impasse, and too far apart on wages and benefits.

B.C. Teachers Federation presi-dent Jim Iker said the two sides are just one per cent apart on wages. The government offer is seven per

cent over six years, while the union wants eight per cent over five.

But Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the BCTF demand is still nearly twice what other pub-lic sector unions have settled for once benefit demands are included.

The province has also taken a $1,200 signing bonus off the table, while the union still wants $5,000, which makes up a big chunk of what the government says is a $300-million gulf between the po-sitions,

Parents have begun signing up for a government offer of $40 per child under age 13 for each day schools are closed. The lump sum pay-ments are to come after the strike ends and consume all the $12 mil-lion a day in strike savings the gov-ernment will amass.

Whatever issues the government and teachers union are hashing out, it all comes back to those five girls sitting on the sidewalk, said Lear-month.

“They’re playing My Little Pony and making signs. What kind of education is that, really”

Stolen scooter returnedRidge Meadows RCMP have recovered a

stolen Honda Scooter and returned it to its 93-year-old owner.

The scooter was reported stolen on Aug. 25 from a property in central Maple Ridge. 

Ridge Meadows RCMP officers were informed of the theft and kept watch for the scooter.

An officer spotted the stolen vehicle not far from the theft location on Aug. 28.

“The owner of the scooter is an elderly Second World War veteran,” said Cpl. Al-anna Dunlop. “Police were very happy to

be able to return the motorcycle back to him.”

After locating the scooter, police remained in the area and arrested a 37-year-old Port Coquitlam man who drove off on the scooter. It is alleged this man’s right to drive is prohibited, and charges are being recommended.

Shantz said this year just a little more than $83,000 was raised, the fourth year of the event.

But there may not be a fifth Ro-tary Duck Race.

Irena said her husband, local lawyer and Rotary member Bob Shantz, is getting worn out from running the event with little help.

“We need some volunteers to step forward. It becomes a one-man show. It’s too much for four years in a row.”

While efforts had been made to divide up the organizational chal-lenges, “It’s just not working.”

Irena said if the race does take place next year, it could go earlier in the summer, perhaps in June.

Holding it on the Labour Day weekend probably affected the

numbers. The Duck Race gives a quarter

of the funds to KidsSport, a char-ity that helps low-income families with the expenses of organized sports.

In addition to that, the 31 Maple Ridge groups that sold the tick-ets got to keep 90 per cent of the proceeds of every $10 ticket each sold.

Local businesses donated six prizes.

Viveiros won a 2013 Fiat 500 POP Hatchback, worth $21,380, courtesy of Fiat in Maple Ridge.

Amrit Bains won a week-long stay in Whistler as second prize, and Matt DeBruyn won a $1,000 gift certificate from Mark’s. Paula Meredith won a $1,000 gift card from Fuller Watson Home Fur-

nishings. Lanshin Han picked up the fifth-place prize – two rounds of golf for four people at Meadow Gardens Golf Club, including a golf cart. Phyllis Siu won a flat screen TV from Haney Sewing and Sound.

Winners were determined by the order in which their num-bered duck crossed the finish line.

“It only takes about four min-utes for the ducks to come down the river. It’s exciting to watch,” said Irena.

But it takes a lot of work to make sure every duck gets under way, then to collect them at the end of the race.

And it’s hard to get new volun-teers to pitch in.

“It’s great to be part of it and it’s great to raise this money.”

L o o k i n g B a c kBy Sheila Nickols

From the outside, the Maple Ridge Museum and

Archives building looks much the same as it did upon opening 30 years ago.

The interior space of the manager’s house for Haney Brick and Tile Co. that serves as our community museum is basically the same as before, with small rooms that can display only a fraction of the museum collection and inade-quate office and working space.

Donations that cannot be displayed are stored in two other locations, both inaccessible to the public.

Changes to the displays in the main floor of the museum include sev-eral cabinets with better lighting.

The small front room

of the museum has a regularly changing dis-play on a different theme each time.

One of the most popular recent displays was about dolls and toys, leading to more historic donations.

One way of bring the museum to the public is through the regular dis-plays in the Maple Ridge library showcases.

During the summer months, these displays are researched and cre-ated by student workers at the museum.

In August, you could discover photos and information about our oldest churches in the district.

On the lower floor of the museum, you can enter the world of the Dewdney-Alouette Railway Society, partners with the Maple Ridge Historical Society in es-tablishing the museum.

We could not possibly

afford to have created this historically accurate railway layout, complete with heritage build-ings and landscape, but members of the society have researched early photos to make this fas-cinating active display, complete now with sound effects.

When the museum first opened, this layout was in its early stages. Nowadays, group mem-bers are on hand the last Sunday of each month to meet the public and show off their creations.

Since Val Patenaude took over as curator of the Maple Ridge Mu-seum 20 years ago, she set to work to computer-ize all the records. The photo collection has grown enormously, and email enquiries from all over the world and our own district hall can be answered with relative ease, thanks to our digi-tal index.

The archival informa-tion collection is now more available to the public, thanks to the co-operation of the Maple Ridge library, which offers duplicate files so people can access them any time.

What will be the future of the Maple Ridge museum? We have high hopes of a larger and more usable building that could better serve the public, tourists and school groups.

As in many communi-ties, a better location in the centre of town would lead to much greater visitation.

At our 40th anniver-sary of the start of the museum and the 30th anniversary on the pres-ent location, a disturbing number of people admit-ted they had never vis-ited it before, and some had no idea Maple Ridge even had a museum.

We could do so much better for all of you, given the chance.

Sheila Nickols is past president of the Maple

Ridge Historical Society.

MIA & TOMMYMia is bonded with her brother Tommy so they must be adopted together. They came to us as a cruelty investigation. Both cats are thin but gaining weight nicely, both, especially Mia, have some hair loss self-in� icted from stress. Getting out of their previous environment and being at the shelter has helped them and the hair is growing back now. These cats would be good in a home with another cat(s) and a dog may also be okay. They are also suitable with children. If you have space for two come see these gems today.

The Maple Ridge Art Gallery opens the new season with a tribute to local artist Kristin Krimmel.

Although she has shown her work regularly in the region, a 40-year sur-vey of her work represents Krimmel’s first opportunity to display the full scope of her painting career.

Always a prolific artist, Krimmel’s mature style reflects the coalescence of a wide range of artistic styles and influ-ences, many of which are represented in this exhibition.

Originally trained as a teacher, Krim-mel obtained her degree at the Univer-sity of British Columbia in the early 1970s. She taught secondary school art for four years before departing for France, where she was accepted at the École des Beaux Arts de Reims.

The gallery exhibition 40 Years fea-tures a number of paintings from this period, demonstrating the refinement of Krimmel’s powers of observation.

From this initial grounding period, Krimmel moves on to explore a wide range of preoccupations, which, viewed collectively, uncover how landscape reoccurs repeatedly in her work, alter-nating between true representation and varying levels of abstraction.

Krimmel has commented herself

that, in the past, many viewers have commented on the astonishing sty-listic range between each series of her paintings. This exhibition, however, will enable the viewer to observe stylistic traits that appear throughout her career, which is a key rationale for showing ex-amples from such a wide body of work.

After seven years in France, Krimmel returned to Vancouver in 1983 and has lived in Maple Ridge since 2007. Now retired from her career in the civil ser-vice, Krimmel has devoted much of her time to teaching, exhibiting and paint-ing.

“In my art practice over the years, the act of painting has been a necessity to me, whether in oil, watercolor or acryl-ic,” says Krimmel. “Preparing for this exhibition has been a revelation, and I have very much enjoyed working with curator Barbara Duncan to bring to light pieces that haven’t been shown for many years, as well as other works cre-ated only weeks ago. I am delighted to have the opportunity to show my work at the Maple Ridge Art Gallery.”

Thanks Bruce

I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future. I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to � ght for good customer value.

Sincerely, Amy Gill

There were 150 soccer teams playing in every pitch in Ma-ple Ridge and Pitt Meadows over the weekend in the West Coast Cup.

For teams from Prince George and even as far away as the Yukon, the tournament was a wrap up to their season. For local teams in the West Coast Auto Group FC, the tourney marked the kickoff of a new year of soccer.

The tourney continues a long-running Labour Day tournament tradition that was first started by the former Pitt Meadows Soccer Club.

There were some impressive results by local teams.

West Coast FC U15 Element boys team had two wins and a loss,

The WCFC Juventus U17-18 boys were second in pool B with a win and two ties.

In the U13 Metro Selects division, the WCFC girls had three wins and tie, scoring 19 goals and allowing none in four outings.

The WCFC Fire U13 were similarly dominant in Div. 2, with four wins, 27 goals

scored and only four against.The WCFC Elite went 3-0 to

win the U14-15 Pool B, edging out the WCFC strikers who

had two wins and a loss.The WCFC Vipers had a win

and a tie, which topped the U17-18 Silver pool.

Maurice Wilfred Hall was born at the family farm in the Rosebush District on May 10, 1924 and passed away on August 26, 2014 at the age of 90 years.He was one of four children born to William and Caroline Hall and spent his early years growing up in the Meeting Creek area. On April 26, 1949, he married Bessie Joan Berke,

from Kelsey. Maurice and Bessie lived in Lacombe Alberta, where they owned/operated a small trucking company, Central Building Movers. No hauling job was too big or too small for them, they loved a challenge. The trucking company was sold in 1965 and Maurice, Bessie and family moved to Haney B.C., where Maurice began a new career working for B.C. Government Corrections Service. The Corrections Service operated a beef/poultry ranch and Maurice was placed in charge of all agricultural operations. He truly loved this work.Maurice purchased many teams of draft horses over the years and in his spare time; he drove these teams in various special events. He was sponsored by Realty World and travelled extensively all over Alberta and B.C. in parades, fairs, draft horse competitions, etc. He absolutely loved all draft horses, percherons were his favorite breed. Maurice retired from the B.C. Corrections Service in 1981 and the family relocated to Armstrong. A few more horses were purchased, to show at fairs and rodeos. Then on to Calgary, where Maurice and Bessie enjoyed 12 years of driving their horses through the midway at the Calgary Stampede, with son Les’ band playing on the wagon. In 1994, Maurice and Bessie resettled to Bashaw, where they reunited with old friends and enjoyed the company of new ones.A new pass time evolved when Maurice began travelling all over Central Alberta with fellow musicians, entertaining at Senior Centre’s and playing the old time music that the seniors so loved. Maurice and Bessie so enjoyed getting together with their family and friends. His love of life and his family will always be remembered. Left to mourn him are his children: Lawrence Hall, Doug (Joyce) Hall, Les (Gerri) Hall, Darryl (Debbie) Hall, Ken (Cindy) Hall, Keith Hall, Bruce (Laurel) Hall, Maureen (Carl) Anderson, Wendy (Dwayne) Adam. Maurice was predeceased by his wife Bessie; two infant siblings, one brother; one sister; one daughter-in-law; one son-in-law.A funeral service will be held on Saturday, September 6, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. from the Edberg Community Hall with Don Wudel offi ciating. Inurnment will take place in the Edberg Cemetery.Memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Bashaw Meadows Care Centre. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.
