Toothless
prisoner
wants
dentures
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter

An man serving time in a Maple

Ridge prison is taking the provin-
cial government to court to get
new dentures.
Reza Eshghabadi, 52, has been
unable to eat anything solid for
the past 14 months since a dentist
at the Fraser Regional Correction-
al Centre removed 10 teeth that
held his dentures in place.
Now toothless, Eshghabadi has
been in prison since November
2009, when he was sentenced for
importing opium.
He was convicted along with
his wife, Ashraf Nabiloo, and sen-
tenced to two years less a day in
jail.

Raymond family, friends face accused
Preliminary inquiry begins into
death of 16-year-old Ridge girl
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter
A preliminary inquiry for a woman
charged in connection with the death of
a Maple Ridge teen heard from people
who were the last to see Shannon Ray-
mond alive, Monday in Port Coquitlam
Provincial Court.
It was the first time the family of the
16-year-old were in the same room as
Victoria Turley, who faces one count of
failure to provide the necessities of life
in connection with the death of Shannon
– a charge laid under a rarely used sec-
tion of the Canadian Criminal Code.
Dressed in purple, Shannon’s favourite
colour, her mother Julie and older sister
Danielle were flanked by friends and
family, who filled three rows of seats in
the court room.
“Seeing Victoria [Turley] left me with
a host of feelings, from emptiness and
wanting to reach across and choke her,”
Julie Raymond said following a day of
testimony from people who were the last
to see her daughter alive.
Shannon, 16, was found dead at 6 a.m.
on July 26, 2008 at Turley’s home in
Maple Ridge after attending a party on
a bus.
Ridge Meadows RCMP will not say how
Raymond died, but allege she was in the
care of the accused and was in medical
distress, which Turley failed to address.
Turley, who no longer lives in Maple
Ridge, was arrested and charged in Oc-
tober 2009 after an investigation that
took more than a year.

Lawyer for G20 protestor Struggling with your

wants police investigated
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter
The lawyer for a
Maple Ridge woman
injured during a G20
protest in Toronto last
year is calling for a
criminal investigation
of the officers he al-
leges were involved.
Clayton Ruby says
he has video footage
showing two officers
firing three rubber
bullets at Natalie Gray
during a protest on
June 27.
On Friday, Ruby de-
livered an open letter
to Toronto Chief of
Police William Blair,
demanding an imme-
diate and transparent
criminal investigation
into the actions of his
officers.
Gray says she was
protesting peacefully
during the G20 Summit
that day, when she was
viciously shot twice
by Toronto police with
what she believes were
rubber bullets.
She was injured on
her elbow and ster-
num.
She was then ar-
rested by police and
charged with obstruc-
tion of a peace officer.
Gray, along with
hundreds of others,
was locked up in a de-
tention centre, strip
searched and held
without access to fam-
ily or lawyers for 30
hours.
The criminal charge
against Gray was
dropped in August.
In September, Gray
filed a lawsuit against
the Toronto Police
Services Board and
unnamed individual
police officers, seeking
more than $1 million in
damages.
Gray is suing for:
assault and battery;
unlawful arrest and
detention; malicious
prosecution; and vio-
lations of a number
of her constitutional
rights under the Char-
ter of Rights and Free-
doms.

Tolls in the equation
The Pattullo Bridge may not be replaced after all.
The ministry of transportation, which handed
over responsibility for the bridge to TransLink
more than a decade ago, is taking a second look at
TransLink’s plans to replace the 74-year-old bridge.
TransLink has already said that any replacement
bridge would have to be financed by tolls.
While the expertise of the ministry, which has
many top-notch people on staff, is welcome, there is
a decidedly political tint to this move. It is no secret
that many South Fraser residents, particularly
in Surrey and Langley, are very unhappy about
the prospect of paying tolls on the new Port Mann
Bridge when it opens in about two years. The sub-
ject comes up frequently.
The Golden Ears Bridge is tolled, and no one is
overly concerned about that. It provides a new level
of service that was previously unavailable, and
the added convenience is well worth the relatively
modest toll charge.
However, once the Port Mann Bridge is tolled,
it will be very difficult to travel to the north side
of the river from Langley without paying a toll.
Meanwhile, there are no tolls planned on any other
bridges or tunnels in the Lower Mainland. Thus
people who live in Surrey or Langley, who have
the dubious distinction of having the worst transit
service in the Lower Mainland, will pay extra to
use their cars every time they cross a bridge.
The Pattullo had been suggested as a “free” alter-
native, but TransLink can’t replace it for free. Thus
the ministry’s decision to study the alternatives
seems to be tied directly to the widespread unhap-
piness about the pending Port Mann tolls.
Both the Liberal and NDP leadership candi-
dates need to make their positions on tolls for the
new Port Mann Bridge clear. If tolls are a neces-
sity, then they need to be applied to more Lower
Mainland river crosings. This money should go to

Some sort of gun used in robbery Hawaii to Vancouver
A handgun or imitation fire-
arm was used in a robbery on
Saturday in Pitt Meadows.
A man walking in the
12000-block of Harris Road was
approached by two young men
around 8:40 p.m.
Cpl. Alanna Dunlop said one of
the teens pointed what appeared
to be a handgun at the victim.
The pair stole his wallet and
cellular phone.
The men then walked into a
nearby housing complex and es-
caped.
“The victim was not injured in
the robbery, but was very shak-
en up by the incident,” added
Dunlop.
The first man is described as
being between 15 to 20 years
old. He was brown-skinned, 5-7
with a medium build and short
black or dark brown hair. He
was wearing a black jacket, blue
jeans with a silver belt.
The second man, who bran-
dished the weapon, was around
the same age. He is described
as a white man, 5-6 with a thin
build, pale complexion, shaved
head and orange freckles on his
face.

These residences don’t usually

dences like the building to which

there are four suites to a floor.
Within each suite are single
and double bedrooms, a shared
kitchen, a shared lounge and
shared bathroom and shower
facilities.
When it comes to roommates,
students may be assigned to a
single, a double or a triple room.
If a student knows somebody

as them that they would like to
share a room with, this can be
indicated on both students’ ap-

unpacking.
At the
University of
Guelph, there
were upper-
year student
volunteers to
help students
bring their
belongings
up to their
rooms.
There is a
Post secondary
residence as- Kirsti Juurakko
sistant (RA)
assigned to
each area in residence, in my
case this means each floor, to
act as an advisor for students
who need help with any sort of
issue. There is always an RA
available to answer questions or
to deal with issues such as noise
complaints.
Living in residence can be fun,
but also challenging. You are
almost always around people and
there are often fun events sched-
uled and events that students or-
ganize themselves. For example,
in my building during exam
period there was a kickboxing
lesson offered in the downstairs
foyer. Also during exams, my
suite organized a potluck dinner
for our residence floor.
Living with other people all the
time has downsides, too, as per-
sonalities will inevitably clash.
Usually conflicts are minor and
short-lived. But if a real issue
does arise, an RA can help medi-
ate the conflict.
Residence walls can be thin, so
noise can be disruptive, particu-
larly when trying to sleep. This
is resolved by enforced quiet
hours – between 11 p.m. and 8
am. .on nights before classes
and between 1 a.m. and 8 a.m. on
Fridays and Saturdays.
Other rules in residence that
are strictly enforced include no
open flames whatsoever (includ-
ing birthday cake candles), no
cooking appliances (such as hot-
plates and toasters) in bedrooms
and no pets (except fish, but this
can vary between universities).
There is a large emphasis
on fire safety because of the
large size of buildings and their
occupancy load. If a fire alarm
goes off in a building, even by
accident, hundreds of students
must be evacuated.
If students have any building
problems in residence, they are
able to go to the residence desk
and have a work order put in to
fix the problem. For example,
in September the drain of the
kitchen sink in my suite clogged;
we went to the desk and some-
one was soon sent up to fix it.
Some degree of homesickness
is inevitable while living away
from home If, like me, you are
unable to go home on weekends
it can be helpful to get involved
in university activities or in the
community to keep yourself busy
so that you don’t miss home as
much. Students may want to
join a club or an extracurricular
class, such as dance or a sports
class, or volunteer somewhere. I
started writing for the University
newspaper and joined a kickbox-
ing and Zumba class.
Finding a good friend to pass
the time with is also helpful.
Living on your own brings with
it new responsibilities. No one
else is going to cook or clean for
you.
When students first arrive
at university they go through
Orientation Week, which takes
on many names such as ‘Frosh
Week’ and ‘O-Week’; its begin-
ning is marked by move-in day.
During orientation, students
are introduced to the university,
each other, student leaders and
some of the faculty through
tours, games, program meetings,
mock lectures and other welcom-
ing events.
One tradition at the University
of Guelph during O-Week is an
attempt to break a world record.
In September we set the record
for the world’s largest lap-sit
(most people sitting on each
other’s laps at once).
Other activities that I partici-
pated in during O-Week were a
scavenger hunt around campus,
making a hand print banner in
my residence and attending a
mock lecture about colony col-
lapse disorder in honeybees.
Students should try to make
the most of their orientation
experience to meet new people
and become more familiar with
their university.
Orientation is the last bit of
summer vacation and the last
chance for students to relax
before classes begin.
Kirsti Juurakko is a first-year
student at the University of
Guelph in Ontario.

Bridal Accessories
When it comes to weddings, much is made
of the bride's wedding gown. A bride's
wedding gown is, along with the bride her-
self, often the focal point of the day. Brides
also know their look is never complete
without the right accessories. Arguably the
most important accessory is the jewelry the
bride and her bridesmaids will be wearing.
Incorporating family heirlooms, favourite
keepsakes and contemporary styles can be
complicated, but always remember the focus
is on the bride's face and neckline so keep
your jewelry selections to just one or two
special items.
Because many brides recognize the impor-
tance of jewelry when creating their bridal
ensemble, here are a few tips:
• Match jewelry with your gown. No two
brides are ever the same, but there are
similarities between wedding gowns and
certain jewelry that goes well with each type
of gown. For example, the type of necklace
a bride chooses will depend on the neckline
of her gown. When matching a piece of
jewelry with a wedding dress, the lines and
flow of the dress are the defining accents
to consider. If the gown is a vintage, lacy
style, then something antique, or beaded
and chandelier style is beautiful. For a
more clean, modern and linear style dress,
a simple charm or statement piece will
enhance the wedding gown.
• Consider a splash of colour. Today's brides
aren't solely hoping to look elegant and
demure. They're also hoping to attract at-
tention. And nothing helps to do that more
than colourful jewelry to complement your
gown. Coloured gems are a growing trend
among brides.
• Go green. Many brides are showcasing
their environmental side and embracing a
growing trend among bridal jewelry, namely
the choice of nature-inspired jewelry that
includes themes such as flowers, butterflies,
leaves, and rosettes.
Wedding Registries
Are you one of the thousands of couples
who got engaged over the holidays? This
is the time for you to get everything you
ever wanted -- whether you're starting from
scratch, upgrading, expanding or replacing.
Turn a whole bunch of mismatched mine
and yours into a lifetime of ours.
When it comes to registering, relax, take
your time and have fun. Don't hesitate to
update your registry online and go into the
stores often. Choose items that are right for
you. Here are some additional tips to make
registering a breeze:
• Plan Ahead: Start a bridal registry as
soon as you say "yes" so guests have many
options for engagement gifts and showers.
Update your registry by adding more prod-
ucts if you need to, even after the wedding.
Be kind to procrastinators.
• Do the Math: Experts advise registering
for 2-3 items times the number of guests
you plan to have. Close friends and fam-
ily will rely on your registry for special
events leading up to the wedding -- such
as engagement parties, bridal showers, and
holidays! Your guests will appreciate having
lots of choices when they shop for you. Be
sure to refresh your list regularly as gifts get
purchased.
• Register Now, Because You Won't Buy it
Later: You may think you will ... but you
won't. Now is the time to let others get
you things you'd never buy yourself. Your

weddings
Make a plan
friends and family might even get together
to purchase a higher priced "group gift."
• Dream Big: Register for gifts in a range of
prices and categories. This will give guests
and group givers many options to choose
from.
• Remember the Rule of Three: When it
comes to setting your table, if you choose
bold patterns for your china and flatware,
pick a more simple style of glassware. Prefer
intricate stemware? Pair it with simpler
patterns of china and flatware. So, it's bold/
bold/simple or simple/simple/bold.
• Visit a Store: It's in your best interest to
visit a store and meet with an expert con-
sultant to help you with your selections and
share great tips like "The Rule of Three,"
what cookware you will need to prepare
your favourite dish, what knife to use when
and much more. When making your selec-
tions, it's important to touch the towels,

• C'mon Back: Most couples don't make
all their selections in a single spree. Plan on
making multiple visits.
Say 'Thank You'
It is customary for the bride- and groom-
to-be to show their gratitude to all those
who will make their wedding day special.
Weddings today feature people who have
roles that go beyond the traditional, like
interior decorators and musical soloists. It's
important to remember to thank everyone
who contributes to the celebration.
Thank-you gifts should be something
thoughtful and enduring. Avoid fad or
gag gifts. These gifts should be presented
at a pre-wedding occasion such as at the
rehearsal dinner. Crafting personalized

remarks is a nice way to call attention to the
unique tasks of each wedding participant.
Don't simply pass the gifts out in one fell
swoop. This way the gift will have more
meaning through a personal message.
Start thinking of gift ideas early on and
plan for any extra time for engraving or
other personalization.
• Groomsmen: Think about a gift the
groomsmen would like but probably
wouldn't buy themselves. This can be cuff
links, a fine watch, money clip, or a high-
quality wallet. Feel free to splurge a little
more on the best man.
• Bridesmaids: Traditional gifts for
bridesmaids are different types of jewelry.
Monogrammed stationery, a spa treatment,
or another pampering session. Feel free to
bestow a little more thanks on the maid of
honour with a more lavish gift. Younger

for musicians, alter boys/girls, etc. can also
be a thoughtful gesture.
• Parents: The couple may choose to
bestow a gift on their parents, which can
be especially meaningful if the parents are
taking care of the financial responsibility of
the wedding. Jewelry or fine gifts in similar
scope to that of the bridal party are good
ideas. Consider engraved picture frames
that can house a wedding portrait down the
road.
• Others: Readers, soloists, ushers, etc. can
be given a small token of your appreciation,
like a gift card or a personalized memento.

Trends for 'Green' Weddings
the Journey begins Environmentally friendly ideals are now per-
meating all aspects of daily living. Individuals
who already do their best to recycle, reuse and
reduce want to employ those same values on

with a Diamond their wedding day.

There are many ways to employ a green mind-
set to your wedding. The carbon footprint of
a wedding can be reduced by scaling back and
avoiding over-consumption. Here are some
ideas to think about.
• Reduce travel. Research indicates that more
than two-thirds of emissions are produced by
energy consumption and transportation. By
reducing the need to travel for a wedding or
offering transportation that can accommodate
several people at once (like a bus), carbon
emissions will be reduced.
• Home is where the heart is. Those with big
backyards or a park nearby can host the event
at home or in a nearby park and reduce de-
pendence on large reception halls that use up
large amounts of energy to operate. Couples
also have the opportunity to shop around for Green wedding trends are growing in popu-

Immunization still urged as flu moves west

by J eff Nage l
Black Press
Flu season has been
mild so far in B.C.,
but health authorities
warn it may not stay
that way.
The influenza virus
hitting eastern Canada
hard may be felt more
strongly here in the
weeks ahead.
“The winter is long
and the risk is not yet
over,” said Dr. Danuta
Skowronski, physician
epidemiologist at the
B.C. Centre for Dis-
ease Control.
“It would be wise to
learn from the experi-
ence in eastern Can-
ada and prepare for
that now, because the
same could still hap-
pen here.”
Influenza season typ-
ically spans November
to April and the peak
can happen any time
during that period.
There’s still time to
get immunized even
though it takes about
two weeks for the vac-
cine to take full effect.
Flu shots are still
available through pub-
lic health units, doc-
tors’ offices and phar-

You Want the Best for Your Pet.

SO DO WE!
“Caring for your
pets like family.” Spay or neuter pets
T
he B.C. SPCA is urg-
ing pet guardians and
all animal lovers to do
their part to help end the trag-
edy of pet overpopulation in
British Columbia.
The non-profit animal wel-
fare society is highlighting the
benefits of spaying and neu-
tering for pets during Spay/
Neuter Awareness Month in
February.
“The terrible reality is that
there are still many more
“We find that with many pet
guardians it is attitude, rather
than cost, that prevents them
from having their animals
sterilized,” says Chortyk.
“They love their pets, but
they don’t realize that by not
having them spayed or neu-
tered they may be impacting
their pet’s quality of life and
the bond they could be shar-
ing.”
Some of the benefits of spay-
ing and neutering:
property.
• Increased health – Spay-
ing or neutering your pet re-
duces the likelihood of them
developing uterine, ovarian
and testicular cancers.
• Good overall pet care
– Having your pet sterilized
also provides an opportu-
nity to have other important
health procedures performed,
as necessary, such as an iden-
tification tattoo or microchip
or teeth cleaning. Spaying

Free clinic for feral
cats on Feb. 20
T
he B.C. SPCA is of-
fering a free clinic
on Sunday, Feb. 20 to
provide medical services
for feral and ownerless cats
in the Lower Mainland.
Twenty Greater Vancouver
veterinarians and animal
health technicians are gener-
ously donating their services
to spay and neuter an antici-
pated 70 to 100 cats.
Groups working with feral
cats and any member of the
public feeding an ownerless,
free-roaming cat are invited
to participate.
Invitations are also being
sent to First Nations commu-
nities from Lytton to Greater
Vancouver.
The free services being
offered include medical ex-
aminations, spay/neuter op-
erations, vaccinations, identi-
fication tattoos and treatment
to address any medical issues
the animals may have.
While the primary goal
of the free clinic is to
reduce pet overpopulation
and provide care for
abandoned cats, the event
will also raise awareness
about the issue of pet
abandonment and the
need for all pet owners
to spay and neuter their
pets.
This is the B.C. SPCA’s
fifth annual Feral Cat Trap
– Neuter – Release Clinic, all
of which have been very suc-
cessful.
Each year, thousands of
cats are abandoned by their
owners. Many of these ani-
mals live short, brutal lives

K
nife poised, Bruce Rothe stared intently at
the gnarled piece of yellow cedar, examin-
ing the contours, the flaws, and the shape.
The cancer that lurked within him was far from
his mind.
“Eagle,” he muttered to himself as a small smile
lit his face.
“It will need grinding because it is so hard and
the feathers will be tricky”.
Gradually, he started to work the wood with his
myriad of tools and slowly a proud eagle emerged
from what was discarded drift wood.
Rothe – master horticulturist, fishery expert,
and teacher – had become a master carver.

Recovering from a recent bout of chemothera-

the old cherry tree in the back yard.
However, he didn’t simply cut it down.
Rothe took his old electric chain saw and in a
few hours an owl slowly began to appear.
At first it looked rustic, but gradually it became
clearer and clearer until it was so authentic that,
he says, no birds would land in his backyard.

Flames lose
pair, clinch
playoff spot
Third and fourth conference
seed still up for grabs
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter
The Ridge Meadows Flames
dropped two straight last week-
end after clinching a playoff berth
with their overtime win over the
Aldergrove Kodiaks last Wednes-
day.
The local junior B hockey club
fell 4-2 to the Mission Icebreakers
at home Friday night before fall-
ing 9-6 to the Port Moody Black
Panthers after eliminating the
Kodiaks last week.
“Most of the guys knew we
had clinched a spot, so the effort
wasn’t there,” said head coach
Tavis Eaton. “We have the talent
there, when they want to use it.”
Just where in the playoff picture
the Flames will slot in remains to
be determined, however.
With just a single game left in
the regular season, the Flames sit
in third place in the Pacific Inter-
national Junior Hockey League’s
Harold Brittain Conference with
42 points (20-23-2). If the Flames
can manage to hold on to the third
seed, they will face second-place
Port Moody in the first round.
However, nipping at their heels
are the Mission Icebreakers with
39 points and a game in hand. The
Icebreakers have won two straight
and could bump the Flames out of
the third spot, setting up a first
round series with the Abbotsford
Pilots.
The Flames are 3-4 against the
Pilots this season, and 2-3 against
the Black Panthers.
Either way, the Flames’ fate will
be in their own hands this Friday
when they face the Black Pan-
thers at home in their final game
of the regular season.
Eaton said he wants his team
to set the tone for a possible
first-round match-up with Port
Moody.
“They have lots of speed, guys
who can score, good goaltending,
and so do we,” he said. “I think we
have very similar teams.”
After an abysmal start that
saw them go 5-8-4 in the first two
months of the season, Port Moody
has since found their game, going
16-9-2 since.
The Flames had a similarly
rocky start to the 2010/11 season,
going 8-16-0 before a December
turn-around that has seen the
team go 12-7-2 in the past three
months.
However, a stronger effort will
be needed then that on display Sat-
urday night against Port Moody,
as the Flames gave up four goals
in five minutes with the game tied
in the third period.

Pitt gears up for postseason
Maple Ridge Ramblers still
alive as AAA basketball league
playoffs begin this week
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter
Although league play began little
more than a month ago for the Pitt
Meadows Marauders Air Force,
the senior boys’ basketball team is
already in the thick of the playoffs
as the AAA Fraser Valley North
league seeding tournament starts
this week.
The Marauders finished up the
regular season last weekend with
three games in three days, com-
ing away with a 2-1 record in that
span.
That means Pitt finishes up with
an 8-2 record in league play this
year, good for fourth place in the
11-team AAA Fraser Valley North
division.
“We’ve had a good season and
we’re healthy, so that makes a
huge difference,” said head coach
Rich Goulet. “You have to win a lot
of games in a short period of time
to make it [to provincials], so it’s
survival of the fittest.
After knocking off the first-place
Heritage Woods Kodiaks of Port
Moody 69-51 at home Thursday
night, the Marauders faced the

second-place Terry Fox Ravens
Friday in front of a packed house
at Pitt Meadows secondary.
“It was the first time we’ve had
a league rival in here on a Friday
night like that [this season],” said
Goulet. “It was packed. I guess
they heard it was going to be a
good game. They weren’t disap-
pointed.”
Pitt Meadows opened with a 10-1
run to take an early lead, but the
Ravens immediately
responded to close
within three
points. The see-
saw battle con-
tinued as the Ma-
rauders took an
eight-point lead
after the first quarter.
The Ravens outscored the
Marauders 17-10 in the
second quarter with
Pitt’s leading scorer
Malcolm Williams on the bench
with a sore knee.
With the score 27-26 at the half,
Pitt again came on strong in the
early stages of the third quarter
with Williams back in the lineup,
going on an 11-2 run to take a ten-
point lead, their biggest of the
game.
However, any momentum the
Marauders had fizzled when play
was stopped after a Terry Fox
player injured himself, and had to
be helped off the court.

NE Chiefs split series with OK Rockets
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter
Maple Ridge’s Matthew Bissett
scored six points last weekend as
the Vancouver North East Chiefs
strengthened their hold on the
sixth and final B.C. Hockey Ma-
jor Midget League playoff berth,
despite splitting their two-game
series with the visiting Okangan
Rockets.
Both Bissett and Jamie Wad-
dington registered a pair of goals
and a pair of assists Saturday
afternoon as the Maple Ridge-
based Chiefs downed the Rockets
5-4 at home at Planet Ice.
The Rockets took a 2-0 lead in the
first period before Joey Santucci
got the Chiefs on the board with
seven minutes to go in the open-
ing frame. The Rockets regained
their two-goal lead early in the
second period, only to see it wiped
out by Bissett’s pair of goals, and
another from Waddington. The

teams went into the third period
tied 4-4, but Waddington’s second
of the night, score three minutes
into the final frame, would prove
to be the winner.
Daniel Del Bianco had a trio
of assists, while Santucci also
picked up a helper.
The Rockets again got out in
front of the Chiefs on Sunday,
however this time they were able
to hold on and deny the Chiefs
the series sweep. Okanagan
opened the scoring four minutes
in and held the one-goal lead un-
til the dying seconds of the peri-
od, when Waddington scored his
third goal of the weekend with
17 seconds left to tie the game at
one apiece.
The Rockets kept coming in the
second, however, and took a two-
goal lead into the third period
after a pair of goals early in the
second.
Dominic Centis got the Chiefs
within one with nine minutes
left to play, however the Rockets
