When passed, legislation introduced would render a teachers’ strike illegal. by Maria Rantanen [email protected] Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows teachers voted this week whether to go on strike in what’s become a race between the provincial government and the teachers’ union. The Labour Relations Board ruled Tuesday teachers may go on a three-day strike with a two-school-day notice. But Education Minster George Abbott introduced legislation the same day which, when passed, would end job action. Once the legislation has passed – perhaps early next week – any strike would be illegal. The results of the teachers’ vote is expect- ed today (Thursday). George Serra, president of the Maple Ridge Teachers’ Association, said he wouldn’t rule out the possibility of a strike early next week. “I think people need to be prepared for the worst and hope for the best,” he said. Teachers are “really, really, really upset” about the legislation, Serra added. The provincial government has introduced legislation for a “cooling off” period, which would suspend the strike action and appoint a mediator to “facilitate bargaining.” While the BC Teachers’ Federation was calling for mediation, this was not what the union wanted, Serra said. The legisla- tion includes those items that have money attached to them – “the things that are important to us,” he elaborated. “How is that a fair process?” Serra said. The legislation includes hefty fines for the union, its leaders, individuals, and B.C. Public School Employees’ Association for any strike or lockout during mediation. The mediator has until June 30 to work with the two parties, at which time, if there is no agreement, he or she will issue a report with non-binding recommendations. “Using legislation to resolve stalled nego- tiations is never the preferred option, but we need to end the disruptive strike that’s creat- ing a strain in our schools and classrooms,” Abbott said.

When passed, legislation introducedwould render a teachers’ strike illegal.

by Maria [email protected]

Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows teachersvoted this week whether to go on strike inwhat’s become a race between the provincialgovernment and the teachers’ union.

The Labour Relations Board ruled Tuesdayteachers may go on a three-day strike with atwo-school-day notice. But Education MinsterGeorge Abbott introduced legislation thesame day which, when passed, would endjob action.

Once the legislation has passed – perhapsearly next week – any strike would be illegal.

The results of the teachers’ vote is expect-ed today (Thursday). George Serra, presidentof the Maple Ridge Teachers’ Association,said he wouldn’t rule out the possibility of astrike early next week.

“I think people need to be prepared for theworst and hope for the best,” he said.

Teachers are “really, really, really upset”about the legislation, Serra added.

The provincial government has introducedlegislation for a “cooling off” period, whichwould suspend the strike action and appointa mediator to “facilitate bargaining.”

While the BC Teachers’ Federation wascalling for mediation, this was not whatthe union wanted, Serra said. The legisla-tion includes those items that have moneyattached to them – “the things that areimportant to us,” he elaborated.

“How is that a fair process?” Serra said.

The legislation includes hefty fines forthe union, its leaders, individuals, and B.C.Public School Employees’ Association for anystrike or lockout during mediation.

The mediator has until June 30 to workwith the two parties, at which time, if thereis no agreement, he or she will issue a reportwith non-binding recommendations.

“Using legislation to resolve stalled nego-tiations is never the preferred option, but weneed to end the disruptive strike that’s creat-ing a strain in our schools and classrooms,”Abbott said.

If the teachers go on strike, administratorsand non-union staff will be at the school andon-site daycare and StrongStart centres willbe open, said school district spokespersonIrina Pochop.

During the week, this community’senergetic elders have the Ridge MeadowsSeniors Society (RMSS) activity centre, at12150 224th St., buzzing with activity.

Around lunchtime Tuesday, Feb. 28,was no exception.

Inside the activity centre’s main hall,nimble seniors two, three, and oftentimes

four-stepped to the beatduring a line dancingclass, led by instructorAustin Lenton.

The billiards room,home of the MapleRidge Seniors SnookerClub, had plenty ofpool sharks circling thetables.

Both chairs at thePersonal Touch Hair Care, which operatesout of the seniors centre, were filled byclients getting their ’do’s done.

A handful of visitors had their bloodpressure checked, or stepped on the scaleinside the centre’s health and wellnessclinic.

The library and computer lab also had apresence, including a technological tutor-ial led by instructor Walter Schmid.

And the cafeteria was brimming of hun-gry patrons, lining up for their lunch.

The RMSS activity centre is open sevendays a week, with a variety of programs,often starting early in the morning andcarrying on late into the evening.

Brian Irving had his licencereinstated, then starteddrinking and driving again.by Sam CooperThe Province

The man who left a trail ofdeath after plowing his pickupinto a Maple Ridge sushi res-taurant while in an alcohol-withdrawal delirium is back incustody for relapsing into severealcohol abuse.

In August 2008, Maija-LiisaCorbett, 19, and Hyeshim Oh, 46,died and six others were injuredwhen Brian Craig Irving, 55,smashed his truck through theentrance of the Halu Sushi res-taurant at Westgate Centre.

Facing two counts of criminalnegligence causing death, andseven of criminal negligence

causing bodily harm, Irvingpleaded not guilty by reason of amental disorder and was foundnot criminally responsible inOctober 2009. He had suffered abrain injury after smashing hishead into a toilet during a boozebinge months before the crash.

Experts testified that he wasin a state of delirium during thecrash, caused by withdrawalfrom alcohol.

Irving was admitted to ColonyFarm psychiatric hospital in PortCoquitlam. Against the warningsof the Crown and Irving’s doc-tor, he was released with condi-tions in January 2010 by the B.C.Review Board.

On Monday, the board heardthat during his first year ofrelease Irving seemed to be con-trite and abstained from booze inhighly supervised release condi-tions. But he got his licence backin early 2011 and started sneakily

drinking and driving again.Irving seemed to have no

real empathy for his victims orinsight into his potentially deadlybehaviour, his case managementteam said. And in January, hewas arrested after being tested ata stunning level of intoxication– five times the legal limit – thatwould have been lethal to nor-mal people, the board heard.

Irving told the board hebelieves he has worked hard for30 years and deserves to drive offinto the sunset in his new $3,000truck on a cross-Canada tourwhen he gets his drinking undercontrol. Irving said he recognizeshis actions cost innocent lives,but he doesn’t want to dwell onit and get depressed.

“I wish [the aftermath] wouldjust be over so I could get onwith life, and continue with lifeand be happy,” Irving said.

The TIMES gave out 101awards to local businesses votedthe best by the community.

by Maria [email protected]

Star Five Country Catering wasjust one of several local businesseshonoured this year with The TIMESReaders’ Choice awards.

Owner Louise Manseau said thesuccess of the east Maple Ridgecompany, which includes six staffmembers, comes from the quality oftheir food.

Their food and service must havemade an impression on the com-munity as they were voted bestcaterer for the third time in a row.

“I love our team,” Manseau said.“I love working with my team andbeing out in this community.”

While Star Five might occasion-

ally cater in Mission and other sur-rounding communities, “our focusis Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows,”Manseau said.

But being in the catering business,“you don’t want to be humdrum,”Manseau said. That means constant-ly looking for new, fresh ideas.

There were 101 TIMES Readers’Choice awards handed out onTuesday evening at the Concerto’sLounge & Grill, which opened justsix weeks ago.

The awards were given out tobusinesses in Maple Ridge and PittMeadows that were voted by read-ers of the Maple Ridge-Pitt MeadowsTIMES as the best in their area.

This included everything from thebest bakery, best brake shop, bestshoe repair shop, to best restaurant.

Carol Lange, owner of the localNurse Next Door franchise, wasanother winner who was at themixer on Tuesday.

Lange said her company tries

to help families by taking care ofeveryday things, like driving elderlypeople to appointments and helpingaround the home, so that when sonsand daughters come to visit, theydon’t have to spend all their timetaking care of these tasks.

“We want the mundane things tobe taken off their plate,” she said.

It’s also important for the care-givers of Nurse Next Door to helpelderly people have a good qualityof life and “help them be joyful,”Lange said.

The Readers’ Choice award is a“testament” to the caregivers thatwork for her, numbering about 60,she noted.

“It was a great surprise and it wasgreat [of] our clients and contactsvoting us number one,” Lange said.

While she doesn’t live locally,Lange said she enjoys the time shespends in Maple Ridge and PittMeadows, and that she’s met a lot of“amazing people” in the community.

by Maria [email protected]

Maple Ridge council passed third reading Tuesdayevening on an application to build a 125-room hotelon the Haney Bypass.

With a few details still needing to be worked out,the developer Seiko Huang said, “we try to start[building] as soon as possible.”

The District had asked for some improvements tothe plan, for example, handicap access and changesin landscaping, and Huang said these were done.

He is currently in negotiations with the provincialgovernment to buy a small corner lot and once thatand financing is in place, he’s hoping to get finalapproval.

The hotel is planned for the Haney Bypass andCallaghan Avenue. Huang has been consolidating theproperties for the hotel for 18 years.

Opinion

I spent last weekend having thelife sucked out of me, and no, itwasn’t the new BC Hydro smartmeter – although a kid in a hardhat did show up at the back door,looking like he’d lost his Tonkatruck, and said he was here toinstall the new meter.

I asked if there was an optionto refuse, to which he replied thathe wasn’t supposed to mentionthat – but yes, you didn’t have totake it.

I said I’d like to think it over.What a great opportunity to give

one of B.C.’s corporate mucky-mucks a kick inthe shins.

What I have read, and what people I respectare saying, is that these meters are invasive andradioactive.

This is another one of modern technology’sTrojan Horses, full of people trying to harmus with higher rates and higher taxes, like theLiberal government.

Why do you think we told them to shove theHST? We don’t trust them, any of them.

What was sucking the life out of me and prob-ably has been for the last 50 or 60 years was theboob tube.

There I am in my Roy Rogers (ask your fatheror your grandfather) jammies, standing besideour TV back in the 1950s, my longest-standingrelationship (“Do you, Timmy, take this TV to beyour lawfully wedded entertainment unit?”).

I watched two curling matches last Saturday,six hours, and in between the games, I grazed formovies, and at one point even picked up a book.Stephen King, in a book on writing, advised us,the reader, to always have a book with us, beit in a restaurant, a movie lineup, the doctor’soffice, just to have something to fill the wait.

And I do: I have a gym book, a book in mybedroom, one in the living room, one in the car.

I love to read, it’s stimulating, it takes youaway, it enhances your use of the language.

So I read for a while betweengames and eventually nodded offin the chair.

I justify my couch-potato statusby remarking that the weatherwas crappy – rain, wet snow,wind – knowing that I’m full ofit and that, during my tenure asa letter carrier, I was out in allmanner of weather and survived– enjoyed it, actually, tusslingwith Mother Nature.

Plus I have the dog and the kidboth looking for entertainment,which adds to my guilt.

No wonder we’re a nation of fatties, eh?We’re always in front of the tube or a screen

of some kind, from the very biggest – 60, 80inches? – to the phone that receives 26 channelsso you’re never too far away from Oprah or theSedins.

How did we survive as kids on those long roadtrips without the DVD player in the back seat?

We counted licence plates from other provinces,we played cards, we read comic books.

Now, of course, we are naked without ourscreens, and we hate those self-righteous peoplewho don’t have TV.

How do they survive? Drugs? Meditation?You can’t go anywhere without seeing the idiot

box: the gym, the bowling alley, even the bath-room, in some cases.

It is passive and it is sedentary and it is killingus, turning us into stupid, fat people with no con-versational skills, like Americans, our only intel-lectual challenge are the questions on Jeopardy.

It is Sunday as I write this, and I’m taking theBoy to the swimming pool to ease my guilt, but Ihave to be back by 12:30 p.m. to catch the curl-ing final, and then it’s up to the park with Jackthe Dog, because I’ve got maybe half an hourbefore the Academy Awards start.

I can’t quit; this is an addiction. I’m thinkingmaybe I need help. But not for a couple weeks:the men’s curling starts Saturday!

Our View

Teacher strikedraws nearer

Tuesday’s decision by the B.C.Labour Relations Board, permittingteachers to step up their job action from“teach-only” to full – albeit intermittent– strike mode, had barely hit the newsbefore the BC Liberal government shift-ed the dispute into the legislature.

By bringing to the legislative table abill that seeks to ban any strike actionwhile forcing the months-long disputeinto arbitration, the government couldbe playing with fire.

The goal of reaching labour peacewith the BC Teachers Federation maynow require more than just the media-tion that was asked for.

The government rhetoric in thelead-up to Tuesday’s legislative initia-tive did little more than widen the gapbetween bargainers on both sides of thebattle, and the heavy-handed EducationImprovement Act – even its name isdrawing derisive laughter, and not onlyfrom teachers – is likely to precipitatefull-scale war.

Both sides have been locked behindtheir battle lines for months, with nosign of compromise. The teachers wantissues and salaries addressed, while thegovernment is attempting to rein in abudget deficit in a tepid economy.

The Education Improvement Act iscleverly named, suggesting that the gov-ernment wants to address issues of con-cern to teachers – including last year’sBC Supreme Court ruling against previ-ous heavy-handed attacks on educators.

But the “mediated” portion of the actand “net-zero mandate” on wages makeit clear what the government’s object-ive really is. The BCTF leadership’simmediate retort labelling the act as “adestructive act of legislative vandalism”leaves little doubt of their interpreta-tion, at any rate.

Technically, the Ministry ofEducation can impose whatever salarylevels and working conditions it wantson teachers – even if it’s poking a stickat them.

Dear Editor,I agree with N. Shroeder about off-leash

dogs in Maple Ridge [Not all kids feelsafe with dogs, Jan. 23 Letters, TIMES].

There is a similar problem on the dikes,with dog owners’ lack of respect for otherwalkers and horseback riders. The dikesare an on-leash area, but you would notknow that by walking on them.

As an equestrian, my horse and I arefrequently approached by curious, fear-ful, or aggressive canines. The ownerscall and call their disobedient dogs, andI’m stuck trying to fend off the unwantedattention.

One owner even swore at me when Iswung my lead rope at her growling dogto keep it away from us.

My horse is very well-behaved around

dogs, but what if the next dog tries tobite my horse’s legs, either in play or infear?

As a dog owner, do you want your dogto be kicked and possibly killed by anequine that’s 10 to 12 times its weight?

Do you want to be responsible forunseating a rider whose horse isn’t ascalm as mine, and possibly injuring orkilling that rider?

Leash your dogs in public areas, or takethem to an off-leash dog park.

I wish the bylaw officers would spendsome time at the local parks and enforcethe restrictions.

To the courteous owners of well-traineddogs (and there are several), thank youfor sharing these public areas.

Kelley Hevessy, Maple Ridge

Off-leash

Dogsmake dikes dangerous

Dear Editor,I find it hard to believe

the public would buy intothe disrespectful teacher-bashing by our govern-ment. They tell storiesabout the lack of govern-ment report cards andmeetings being so harmfulto our students. It’s timefor some truths.

My 220 parents are betterinformed than they werewith report cards. Throughemail, my parents areguided to student plannersthat contain the marks forevery assignment for everycourse they are taking(unlike government reportcards). All Grade 12 markshave been posted for schol-

arship and post secondaryneeds.

I still prepare lessons,teach, assess, contact par-ents, and meet colleaguesto work out plans for strug-gling students. My studentshave not suffered.

As for my classes, thegovernment’s lack of prop-er funding is hurting kids.My Grade 8s are 30 to aclass, with special needsand international studentswho barely speak English.My communication 11 and12 classes are made up ofmany international, specialeducation students, andteens at risk.

There is no time to giveeach one the attention

needed, so it is watereddown, trying to give eachone his or her share.

The international stu-dents are not kids to theboards or the government;they are dollar bills. Theycome to a strange country,live with strangers, cannotspeak the language, andhave no friends.

These kids arrive withthe same issues (learning,emotional, social) that ourkids have, but becausethey are not funded by thegovernment, they do notqualify for the resourcesour kids get. I have stor-ies that would break yourheart. Boards are forced tobecome businesses becauseof under-funding.

Many teachers are chan-ging profession or leavingthe province. They comeout of university with hugedebts, look forward tobeing in a dead-end job,and fight for respect.

I have 10 years of univer-sity training and 25 yearsexperience, yet I am beingtold how to do my job bynon-educators.Millions andmillions of dollars havebeen spent on an organ-ization (BCPSEA) that hasnever met its purpose.Because of this, I make lessand less money every year,and my benefits have notbeen improved in 20 years.

Is this my reward foryears of university educa-tion and service to thou-sands of families duringmy career?

We are at a disadvantagebecause we work withchildren. We care aboutour students and have triedto make a statement aboutgovernment abuse with-out hurting them. Whatchoices do we have?

Nina Fowell, SD42 teacher

Education

Teachers working without respect

Education

No room at favourite schoolDear Editor,

We moved to Pitt Meadows near the MeadowTownCentre when our daughter was born in 2007, and whenI went back to work, her grandma who lives nearHammond Elementary started to look after her.

We just recently purchased a home in Surrey, just overthe Golden Ears Bridge. But we still bring our daughterand now her baby brother to her grandma’s every singleday.

She has been attending the Hill Academy Dance Schooland Kinderheart Montessori, both in Pitt Meadows andKumon in Maple Ridge.

I had always wanted my daughter to attend FrenchImmersion, and as soon as registration was open to non-district, I was there to register her.

I was told later that afternoon that the school programwas full, and that my daughter is on the waiting list.

A few days later, I was told that my daughter wouldhave to go on two other schools’ waiting lists for theFrench Immersion program.

And in a few days, I was told all were full.It was quite frustrating.And then I was told that even the English program in

my first choice of school was full.My daughter is in the Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge

area from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday. Iunderstand there are rules regarding catchment areasand district, but shouldn’t there be exceptions for chil-dren who are in the area on a full-time basis?

My daughter is currently behind students on the “in-catchment” and then “out-of-district” lists on four differ-ent schools’ waiting lists.

What will be the alternative for my daughter if she’snot accepted in any of these schools?

It is frustrating for a parent to have to go through somuch just to register their kids for kindergarten.

Abegail Ma, Surrey

Harjit Rai and his wife,Inderjit, started H & IRoofing in 1988 and sincethen, they have become a

well-known, established roofing com-pany in our community.

This is the sixth year that H &I Roofing has donated $10,000 toRidge Meadows Hospital Foundation.

Each year, when asked if there isa particular area of the hospital towhich they would like to direct theirfunds, the response from the Raifamily is always the same: “Whereit is most needed. Where it can helpthe most people.”

“We have lived here for manyyears. Our friends and family arealso in the area and we have usedthe hospital on many occasions. It isimportant to give back, and I hopethat many other businesses will con-sider becoming donors, or renewingtheir support, as well” said Rai.

Greenest garden awardBeneath Your Feet Landscaping in

Maple Ridge was recently one of thefeatured Dream Gardens at the 2012B.C. Home & Garden Show.

They went out on a limb and triedsomething a little different this yearby creating a Asian-inspired WestCoast garden. It was a huge suc-cess and earned them the GreenestGarden Award.

Project manager Sherilyn Gale saidthe whole design was inspired by apurchase of bamboo off Craigslist.

Preparing for retirementSimon Jones, an Edward Jones

financial advisor in Maple Ridge, ishosting a free educational seminar

titled, When Can I Retire? 5 Stepstoward a Better Retirement, at 7 p.m.on Tuesday, March 13 at MapleRidge Library. To reserve a seator for more information call LindaVosper at 604-466-1273.

Mobile business licencesThe chamber of commerce

appeared before the Maple Ridgecouncil last week asking for theimplementation of an inter-municipalmobile-business licence.

Having to apply for multiplelicences within the region is a detri-ment and an extra expense to localbusiness owners, said chamber exec-utive director Jesse Sidhu.

Mobile-licensed business modelshave been operating effectively inother areas of the province, especial-ly for contractors, electricians, cater-ers, and mechanics.

“The ultimate goal is for provin-cial licencing – implementation ofregional licences is a step in the rightdirection at reducing government redtape,” Sidhu said.

Spring break is almost upon us,marking not only the arrival of anew season but also the beginningof the spring and summer travelperiod. That is why now is agood time to assess your travelinsurance needs for the comingmonths. If you’re planning familygetaways or even quick shoppingtrips across the border, you’ll wantto ensure you have adequate travelinsurance coveragefor your entire family.No matter their age,it’s important that eachfamily member hascoverage in their ownname. Many insurers,including BCAA, offerfamily plans whichcould mean reducedrates and less worryfor you. Here aresome things to consider whendetermining which coverage isbest for you and your family.

If you’ve invested in pre-paid travel arrangements, suchas airfare, hotel deposits oramusement park or tour passes,you may want to include tripcancellation and trip interruptioninsurance as part of your policy.This coverage could reimbursenon-refundable travel costsshould you need to unexpectedlycancel your trip, or return homeearly due to an emergency whileyou’re away or even one backat home.

Parents of older students takingspring break vacations on theirown should also be mindful oftheir child’s travel insurancecoverage and insist it be part oftheir travel checklist. Consideringthe relatively low cost of travelmedical insurance coverage –in some cases it could cost lessper day than a fast food lunch –it’s a lot cheaper than paying for

emergency care. If forany reason your childlands in the hospital,it’s reassuring to knowthat some policies,including BCAATravel Insurance, mayprovide coveragefor you to travel toyour child’s bedsidein the event on anemergency.

A common misconceptionamongst vacationers is to regardtravel insurance as being mostlyfor those with existing healthconcerns. But it’s importantto remember that anyone,even children, could requirehospitalization as the unexpectedcan happen to anyone at any time.

Take some time to chat to aBCAA Advisor and ensure you areproperly protected and you’ll travelwith peace-of-mind no matterwhere you or your family goes.

Family sized peace-of-mind.

Garet Hunt leads his divisionin fighting majors, with 22.by Steve EwenThe Province

The best Garet Hunt fight mightbe over who his biggest fans are.

The Vancouver Giants faithfulwould stake a claim. Hunt, thefire-hydrant winger with furiousfists, still can draw ovations show-ing up at the Pacific Coliseumsome four seasons after his finalWHL contest.

Stockton Thunder boosters couldalso throw down on the topic. AMaple Ridge Home Town Heroand a Westview Secondary gradu-ate, Hunt has earned or sharedthe Thunder’s most popularplayer award three years run-ning. When he’s involved in anysort of personal appearance inthe California city, the lineups arelike “Disneyland,” according toThunder play-by-play man MikeBenton.

Thunder brass say that theyonce had a fan shell out $2,500 inan auction for a Hunt game-wornjersey. On ebay.ca that kind ofcash puts you in line for game-worns like a 1990 Doug FlutieB.C. Lions or a 1988 FernandoValenzuela L.A. Dodgers.

“I’m getting spoiled again,” Huntsaid over the phone earlier thisweek. “I’ve been spoiled in bothplaces that I’ve gotten to play. Wehad the best fans and the mostfans in Vancouver and we’ve gotthat here, too.

“I do get stopped every now andthen when I go to the mall, but it’s

mostly by younger kids. It’s stillawesome. It’s fun.”

As much as his game is becom-ing more refined, he still playslike he’s somebody else’s stuntdouble. If he’s not making bonesand boards rattle with a check,he’s making heads hurt with chat-ter. Or, he’s dropping the gloves,

despite being all of 5-foot-8 and190 pounds.

Going into last Tuesday’s slateof games, he led the ECHL with 22fighting majors.

Among his combatants havebeen Utah Grizzlies defencemanNick Tuzzolino (6-foot-6, 225pounds), Alaska Aces defenceman

Benn Olson (6-foot-4, 215 pounds)and Colorado Eagles forward LiamHuculak (6-foot-5, 225 pounds).

He’s all heart and chutzpah, partbrave and part crazy.

“Guys like him are hard to find,because he plays with such a levelof enthusiasm,” said Giants gen-eral manager Scott Bonner.

“I’m not surprised that he’sbecome a big deal in Stockton.It’s the same town that Nick andNate Diaz, the UFC fighters, arefrom. I’m sure it’s a blue-collartown. They’ll come to the gamesbut they want to see some action,they want to be entertained. Garetwould fit right in there.”

Stockton has even more rea-son to favour the feisty underdogright now. The city is on thebrink of bankruptcy after gettingside-swiped by the U.S. housingmeltdown. Forbes magazine haslabelled it as America’s “most mis-erable city,” twice in the last threeyears.

The Thunder, though, providea welcome distraction. In leagueaction on Tuesday, they were thirdin attendance at 5,746.

“The guys like to give me a hardtime about running for mayor,”said Hunt.

He insists that he’s never had aconcussion, although “I’ve beenhit in the head pretty hard.”

“You can’t get worried,” saidHunt. “I’m past that point.

“The more you fight, the moreyou learn when to cover yourselfup and keep your-self safe. Everyfight, you have to something tolearn. ... As long as I’m showingup and learning, that’s the import-ant thing.”

Maple Ridge’s Derek and JackGardner climbed 48 storeys.

A Maple Ridge Secondary gradis recognized as a top poloplayer at Maryland.

Maple Ridge’s Allison Campbellrecorded six goals and 13 stealsto earn recognition as the Feb. 27women’s varsity water polo west-ern division player of the week.

Campbell, who is a junior atthe No. 14-ranked University ofMaryland, helped the Terps to apair of western division victoriesover ranked opponents during a

perfect 3-0 weekend.Campbell, who went to Maple

Ridge Secondary, and her Marylandteam, kicked off the weekend witha non-conference victory overBrown University in which the jun-ior tallied two goals.

Campbell collected a hat trick,including the game-winner, in theTerps division opener against No.16 Hartwick College.

She was at the centre of a his-toric victory for the Terps as theyknocked off the highest-rankedpolo opponent in school history,No. 11 Indiana University, in the

weekend finale.In that game Campbell tallied a

goal and an assist and six steals forthe win.

The accolade marks the fifthweekly award of Campbell’s careerand second of the 2012 campaignafter she earned top honours onJan. 30. She previously garnerednotice as a two-time southern div-ision player of the week and wasthe top defensive player in thesouthern division last March.

TIMES, while lounging on the Santa MonicaPier. “I don’t consider myself a thrill seeker

but I just had to ride the ferris wheel onthe pier with my daughter. The weather

was balmy and it was a good retreat fromall the rain we had been getting,” Levine

said. In the meantime, Maple Ridge’sYani Mitchell and her mother Anne White,

of Burnaby, took a Caribbean cruise tocelebrate Anne’s 65th birthday and her

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections March 4 - 10, 2012★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Continue to rest, lielow. Contemplate: how have you come here, andwhere are you going? It’s a little too early to makeplans, as many factors, and your own certainty,will “show up missing” over the next few weeks– significant revisions will arise in April. Completeprojects and duties now, rather than starting anythingnew. What seems a dull Sunday might transform, thisnight or Tuesday, into romance or a pleasure foray.Your money luck improves over the next four weeks.Tackle growing chores midweek. Relationships havea strong message for you Thursday night onward.Taurus April 20-May 20: You’ve felt a bit put-upon,that luck wasn’t on your side, these last few weeks.That changes, Monday onward. Your gracefulnessand subtle magnetism return; your popularity surgesupward, puzzlement will dissolve. Still, don’t startnew projects or new romances before April. You oftenjudge yourself by your possessions. That will causeyou much wondering and bemusement in May/June– but these months of indecision will be only part of alonger phase of good money/possessions luck, fromApril to July, which in turn kicks off a hugely luckyyear of money, lasting to mid-2013.)Gemini May 21-June 20: The accent continueson ambition, reputation, mingling with “big shots”– considering your poor luck of the last few years,take a defensive rather than daring stance here.Strictly avoid starting ambitious new projects beforeApril 4. (A slowdown starts soon, technically March12. This will bring back a former hope, or “light lover”– but that’s next week onward.) You’ve been moregregarious the last few weeks: now, through March,socializing mingles with “quiet joys.” BTW, thoseyears of bad luck end in June; bad karma ends in lateAugust. Then a year of splendid fortune begins.

Cancer June21-July22:Yourmellow,understandingmood continues. Relationships are changing (2008-2023). This month is an excellent time to figure outwhy – why they’ve changed, what you can do, themeaning of it all. Your vision and thoughts are broaderand more acute than usual. You’ll be surprised/gratified by the nuggets of affection and optimism youuncover. (That’s partly because, now to April 3, yourpopularity rises.) Chase money – carefully – Sundayeve to Tuesday. Travel, talk, messages fill midweek:say heartfelt, loving things. Settle into home Friday/Saturday. Finish, don’t start, projects.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The mysteries continue. Butyou’ll solve a lot of them Sunday eve to Tuesday, whenyour energy and alertness return. (Passivity promotesmystery; action solves it.) And Tuesday night toThursday, when money luck (combined with action)can reveal the forces and currents underlying manyaspects of your life, and reveal a profitable, satisfyingroad ahead. Take action! But stop Thursday; sitback, relax, have a coffee and communicate Friday/Saturday. All week, start nothing that will demandfurther (supportive) efforts after this week. E.g., buystocks, don’t start a business.Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Relationships dominateall month, but this week the aces fall in your lap.Take advantage of your position, luck and strength,especially Wednesday – but keep in mind the needto please another, to co-operate and work as a team.Strictly avoid starting any new projects before April 4;finish instead. (A period of slowdowns, mistakes andindecision technically begin March 12.) You’re hopefulSunday morning, but to little avail. Retreat this p.m.through Tuesday eve: meditate, finish chores, rest.Your energy and charisma surge midweek. Examinemoney (buy nothing) Friday/Saturday.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Tackle chores. Protecthealth; eat and dress sensibly. Though Marchis always a month of drudgery for you, it will belightened this time by a relationship. A friend couldbe all talk, or physically intimate – the former is a lotsafer. (You aren’t really in a good mating phase beforeJune, not in an excellent one until September – beforethis, sex is great, but not a basis for life-mating.) Yourpopularity and optimism rise Sunday eve to Tuesday– be happy! But retreat to rest, contemplate andexercise charity midweek. Your energy and charismarise Friday on. Start nothing new, big.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: You’re on a wee winningstreak – take risks, be adventurous. But don’t startany large projects (ones that will demand yourparticipation later in March).Sunday morning’s mellowbut not successful – leave love for the moment. Beambitious Sunday eve to Tuesday pre-dawn – thepath is smooth. An ally will either fight you or promoteyou. Wishes come true Tuesday night to Thursday:optimism, social delights and entertainment arrive.A love interest could climax, become an affair. Butretreat, rest and contemplate Friday/Saturday. Plannothing big, start nothing big this week.Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The accent lies onhome, family, property, security, retirement, gardening,nutrition, stomach and soul. Diving into any of thesewill give you a feeling of satisfaction – but finish ratherthan begin projects, in these or any zones. A romanticglance, a friendly but rushed conversation, couldspark an affectionate interlude, but any relationshipbegun now will inherit indecision. (And an old flamemight return later in March, complicating everything.)These are just a “stirring” – soon, April onward (into2013) a serious sweet bond will arise. Good careerluck midweek.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Travel,communicate, perform errands, do paperwork – dothese quickly, now, as a major slow-down hits thisarea next week, which will leave you “out of the loop,”planning-wise and data-wise, to April 4. (Speaking ofplanning, make none now; wait until April, after thesituation has changed.) Life’s depths, sexual urgesand financial actions fill Sunday eve to Tuesday. Amellow, wise mood flows Tuesday night to Thursday:dive into culture, international affairs, intellectualpursuits, and love. Luck accompanies you Sundayeve to Thursday, so act. A romantic mood creeps in.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Chase money – butdon’t start any large projects (especially in monetary,friendship or communication zones) before April 4.Your home becomes a more affectionate place inMarch. You’ll be talking, mailing, travelling all month,too, but make your major contacts now, not later.Schedule meetings for April, not March. Relationshipsbless you Sunday eve to Tuesday: a property questionmight arise. Delve into intimacy, big finance, researchor health problems Tuesday night to Thursday – youmight make a major, lucky investment. Wisdom, butnot much luck, Friday/Saturday.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Your energy, charismaand clout ride a peak wave – but the results of youractions might not be what you want, if you beginprojects now (or anytime before April 4). Finishthings, instead. You might meet a splendid friend soon(around March 13, but it could occur anytime March5 onward). Tackle chores, protect your health, Sundayeve to Tuesday.Tuesday night to Thursday brings greatrelationships, exciting meetings and new opportunities(but remember my advice about new projects). (You’llsee these people again mid-next week.) Take carewith money, intimacy Friday/Saturday.
