Trailer used

A horse trailer may have been used

to smuggle a large quantity of drugs
into a Maple Ridge prison.
Police are investigating, but won’t
provide details on the trailer, which
was dropped off for repairs at the
Fraser Regional Correctional Centre
by a woman on March 7.
“We’re working closely with B.C.

“With this being an active investiga-

Bringing miniature railways to life
S tor y by Phil Melnychuk
I
n the make-
believe world of
the miniature
railroad, there’s
never a moment’s
rest. Buildings have
to be painted, doors
attached, shipments
gathered and
schedules kept. The
trains have to run
on time.
For those who like to es-
cape into a world that’s 1/87th
the size of reality, Dario Le
Donne is only too happy to
help – by making realistic di-
oramas depicting those days
gone by.
In the past few years, he’s
made five limited edition
kits, one featuring the old
Billy Miner Pub, another
the Dewdney Trunk Gen-
eral Store – still standing on
Lougheed Highway, east of
Mission – and another called
Carrick’s Corner, a collection
of buildings from downtown
Toronto that has sold out.
The craftsman kits sell
for between $200 and $400
and are snapped by model
railroad fans looking to add
authentic replicas of scenes
from days gone by to their
track displays.
“It’s the biggest hobby in
the world, eh – model rail-
roading,” Le Donne says
in his Maple Ridge home,
where the kit manufacturing
process has spread to three
levels.
The hobby attracts a dis-
parate group from all walks
of life – rock and rollers Rod
Stewart, Phil Collins and Neil
Young are model railroaders,
as well as the guy who was
in charge of dispersing the
federal bailout money in the
U.S., Le Donne says.
His Rail Scale Miniatures
company is a blend between
hobby and business, though
he’s leaning toward the lat-
ter.
When he spies an old build-
ing, either through browsing
through archives online or
when he’s out on the job as
construction foreman, Le
Donne will go back to his
shop and create drawings,
templates and designs that

will convert that structure
into miniature.
Then he makes molds for
the plastic and pewter metal
pieces that will form walls,
doors, windows and side-
walks of the display.
It’s a labourious process
because he has to record as
he goes.
“As I build, everything –
everything – has to be docu-
mented, every measurement,
colour I used ...”
Those details then go into
a manual with each kit and
tell customers in painstaking
detail how to assemble the
product.
“So it doesn’t matter who
picks up the kit, they can
built it just like that.”
“People from around the
world, they build and they
put them on their layout,”
said Le Donne.
The level of intricacy in HO
1:87 model railroad building
is almost obsessive.
Take the square of paper,
about the size of the top of a
pen, that’s part of one of Le
Donne’s miniature railway
kits.
It’s printed on both sides
with stories and headlines to
resemble a real newspaper
that you’d see strewn on the
ground.
One of the fire hydrants,
about the size of a pen nib,
is cast in pewter metal in
painstaking detail, ready for
hobbyists to paint as they
sees fit. Same too goes for
doors and windows, vents
and mechanical components
that appear on buildings.

Sunny Spring Break!

Every kit requires labour to
get the pieces painted and
assembled before they’re
placed on the track.
“It’s all these little castings
that bring a kit to life.”
At the same time, Le Don-
ne likes to build in flexibility
so a customer can “kit bash”
– change things from the in-
tended design.
Le Donne uses computer-
assisted design and a laser
cutter to trim the basswood
into precise components
that fit perfectly. A couple
of those pieces of wood have
the dimensions of dry spa-
ghetti – but when assembled
on set, turn into two-by-four
construction lumber.
One resin piece replicates
the brick wall of the Billy
Miner Pub, in which every

brick is detailed and avail-
able to be painted a different
colour.
The types of wall can be
clapboard, shingle, stucco
and brick, all with instruc-
tions on how to paint to get
the weathered, aged look.
It’s not intended to be easy
work for model railroad
fans. The little pieces have to
be painted properly so they
look their age. (A tea bag
works well as a weathered
piece of canvas, he points
out.) Even the tiny bricks on
the exterior wall of the Billy
Miner Pub have to painted
individually.
Authenticity is crucial be-
cause if a building isn’t accu-
rately produced, something
just doesn’t look right.
“Every square millimetre
is touched by the builder.”
“It’s not a static hobby,” he
says.
So far, Le Donne has made
five kits and is working on his
sixth, which has taken him
beyond Canada’s borders to
Astoria, Oregon, where he
spotted Boat and Delwin’s
Net Storage. That will be a
unique scene capturing the
salmon-fishing industry with
a feature depicting water.
“A kit like this will take you
100 hours to build.”
A popular seller was Car-
rick’s Corner, based on
buildings found in downtown
Toronto. That cost $395 com-
pared to the more modest
kit ($195) that features Dew-
dney Trunk General Store,
which is still standing, next
to the CP Rail mainline, on
Lougheed Highway, eight ki-
lometres east of Mission.
One that he just finished

ers, and raises the bar in that
the interior of the buildings
are lit up with micro-LEDs
connected with wires thin-
ner than a human hair.
A kit like this will
take you 100
hours to
build.”
Part of that building is
still standing at Quadra and
Yates in Victoria and even
formed the basis for another
kit, Vogue Furniture House.
But it’s still a guessing game
about which kit to build,
which scene to recreate.
“It’s a crapshoot every time
you release one, it’s a crap
shoot.”
Le Donne points out he’s
the only craftsman kit mak-
er in Canada and is chasing
three more-established ri-
vals (Fine Scale Miniatures,
South River Modeworks, Si-
erraWest Scale Models) in
the U.S.
“They’ve already compared
me with the top dogs.”
Eventually, he’d like to
give up his job as a construc-
tion foreman and churn out
miniatures full-time.
“I’m getting really close.
But the workload … this is
all I do.”

PHANTOM NOISE
Every now and again those of us who fix
vehicles for a living get a customer that comes
in with a car or light truck that emits what
we refer to as a “phantom noise”. We save
this term “phantom” for the oddball or really
difficult. Not your everyday type of sounds
that occur in the vehicles we all drive. Most
noises you hear that are foreign to your ears
are quite common to us. We have to test-
drive the vehicle to confirm the complaint
and inspect it to determine the extent of the
required repairs.
As the owner and daily driver of your vehicle,
you are a wealth of information just waiting
to be tapped, and it is my job to ask you the
right questions to get that information.
This is where the most important part of
the repair begins. If we get started off on
the right foot, then the subsequent time and
effort will not be in vain. Remember that
you’re going to pay for our time, so it’s most
desirable that we actually fix the problem for
you. Something everybody can agree on.
There are an alarming number of vehicle
owners who feel that the less they tell the
person they pick to repair their vehicle, the
less that will be found wrong. The fact of
the matter is just the opposite; the more
information you give us saves us time, and
time is money – your money.
So in the case of any intermittent or oddball
problem with your vehicle, you need to pay
attention to details and then write them
down for future reference. What type of
driving conditions do you need to be in when
your problem occurs, ie: speed, accelerating
or de-accelerating, flat road, downhill,
uphill, hot, cold, wet, dry? Do you have this
problem when the vehicle is first started after
sitting overnight or do you have to drive the
vehicle for a certain length of time before
the problem occurs? Does this problem occur
when someone else drives the car and if so
at the same intervals or driving conditions?
When was the last time the vehicle was in
for a service and did it get that service from a
certified auto technician? Where do you buy
your gas and how do you drive your car, hard
or easy?
When we are searching for a problem with
your car, it makes a big difference whether
it has been serviced on a regular basis and
whether it was serviced by a professional. If it
has been serviced regularly by a professional,
we will not find much wrong. If it has not,
you’re going to start playing that catch-up
game.
The keys to remember are to keep track
of the problem(s) and have your vehicle
maintained on a regular basis by a fully
certified auto technician. This will save you
a great deal of money during the lifetime of
your vehicle.

will be bringing his famous 1972 Team Canada sweater.
Paul Henderson
coming to Albion
The man who saved Canadian hockey in the
1970s will be in town in April, for a quick chat and
photos and his famous sweater.
Paul Henderson scored the winning goal in the
Canada-Russia series that took place in 1972. It
was the first time Canada’s pro players played the
best players in what was then the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics and Canada had fallen behind
in the series. Canada was expected to have won
the series easily.
Henderson will be in the parking lot in front of
Planet Ice on April 3 as part of SmartCentres’ Hen-
derson Jersey Homecoming Tour.
SmartCentres owns land in Albion flats where it
wants to put up a shopping centre.
The trailer will roll into the parking lot at 11 a.m.
on April 3, (Sunday) and remain until 3 p.m. Hen-
derson himself will be there starting at 1 p.m. so
people can grab photos and autographs.
“He just wants to meet as many people as pos-
sible,” said Maple Ridge spokesman Fred Arm-
strong.
Albion plan now
goes back to public
by Ph i l M e lnych uk
staff reporter
The public has a date with the Albion flats con-
cept plan on March 30 in the lobby outside Maple
Ridge council chambers, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Council forwarded the plan at its Tuesday meet-
ing, as one of the next steps in creating a plan for
the area along Lougheed Highway and 105th Av-
enue.
Following public consultation last fall, and four
options presented by a consultant, council opted
for one of the scenarios that included commercial,
business and recreational development of both
sides of 105th Avenue.
Then it added a recreation centre, farm build-
ings, a farmer’s market, an agricultural training
centre, food education institute and community
gardens and a neighbourhood pub to the vision.
After it weighs public response to the ideas, the
plan will be shipped off to the Agricultural Land
Commission for comment. Most of Albion flats lies
within the Agricultural Land Reserve.
While Coun. Linda King welcomed the public in-
put, she doesn’t support the plan, saying too much
is crammed on to the land.
King said she favours some shopping in the area,
just not the amount proposed in the plan.
“I’m not sure we even have the population for
this.”
The plan proposes that commercial and light in-
dustrial occupy 2.7 million square feet.
She also pointed out that there’s still no agricul-
tural offset included for removing the land from
farm production if development occurs.
However, staff will review measures taken in
other municipalities where farmland was lost to
development.

Election madness
The three main opposition parties don’t like the
Conservatives’ budget and, barring any last-minute
deals, are to support a non-confidence motion Fri-
day and force a spring election.
It would be the third federal election in five years
– and forth in seven.
Is one necessary? Do voters want to go to the polls
again? Will it change anything?
Recent polls have the Conservatives leading the
Liberals by as many as 11 points, with the NDP in its
usual place – third.
Stephen Harper’s party is still out front despite re-
cent controversies over ethics and spending.
Still, the opposition parties, ever so opportunistic,
think now is as good a time as any to bring down the
minority government.
The Conservatives, not surprisingly, disagree,
arguing that, while Canada has weathered the re-
cession as well as any country, the economy is still
unstable.
So we will spend another several hundred million
dollars to find out how Canadians really feel, not
just how our political leaders tell us how we feel.
That is how democracy works.
So whether we want more prisons or new fighter
jets, or better benefits for our aging parents, our
elected Members of Parliament want another elec-
tion.
They all want to be in control. Why can’t they all
just get along?
In the absence of fixed election dates (which might
not even hold in B.C., the only province in the coun-
try with them), the only way to stop this wasteful
spending on elections every other year is to give one
party the majority it desires – because we saw how
well that worked with the previous Liberal govern-
ment.
Another election is madness. The polls are usu-

The pool had been

Department
ground for years, but
the leak grew from 8,300
litres per in 2008 to more
than 25,000 litres last
year - an amount rough-
ly equal to 1.5 million
litres over the course of
the outdoor pool’s two-
month season.
The pool normally
costs $22,000 to operate
for its two-month sea-
son, independent of la-
bour costs. Those costs
would have continued
to creep higher, if the
leaks were not fixed.
Operating costs last
year were around
$35,000.
Council set a budget of
$80,000 for the parks de-
partment to investigate
and fix the leaks.
Swift said everyone
involved is pleased that
they were able to plug
the leaks within that
budget, even though
workers discovered a
second concrete deck
after they began dig-
ging around the pool.
“There’s a dual attach-
ment to the pool. Swim

there is a huge senti-
mental value to it,” she
added.
There is no timeline
for when Pitt Meadows
will see a new indoor
aquatic centre, but the
city is currently saving
for one.
The parks and leisure
services department
proposed an indoor
aquatic centre replace
the aging outdoor pool
in its master plan, which
was presented to both
municipalities last year.
The preferred option
would include a shal-
low leisure pool with an
eight- to 10-lane, 25-me-
tre competition pool.
The plan suggests
splitting the municipal
portion of the cost for
the $15-18 million proj-
ect between the City of
Pitt Meadows and the
District of Maple Ridge.
The Hammond and

open July 1.

election results for

he earned 26,512 bal-

‘Work experience is good for inmates’

Prison from front
Drugs were discovered
inside the prison shortly
after the trailer arrived
on site, but Purdy was
unable to confirm if they
were directly linked to
the trailer.
“We don’t have 100 per
cent proof, but we have
strong suspicions it was
used to bring in contra-
band,” he added.
The shipment may
also have contained cell
phones.

In May 2008, after a
20-year-old man died at
FRCC, the union repre-
senting prison guards
at Fraser Regional Cor-
rectional Centre claimed
drug use at the prison
was “very prevalent,”
worse than at any of the
nine provincial prisons.
The B.C. Govern-
ment Employees Union
also said that drugs –
marijuana, cocaine and
heroin – were being
bundled up inside ten-
nis balls and lobbed into
the prison yard at FRCC,
then smuggled inside
the facility by prisoners,
who also pick up drugs
and do the same while
working on crews off the
prison site on 256 Street.
Fraser regional has
several programs that

hatchery and as highway
or ground maintenance
crews.
Purdy said sometimes
inmates will hide con-
traband on their bodies
to smuggle it inside. By
law, guards cannot per-
form a cavity search.
Purdy isn’t shocked
a trailer was may have
been used to smuggle in
a much larger quantity
of drugs than the ship-
ments that trafficked in-
side by people or thrown
over the prison fence.
“They’ll go to any
means to get drugs in-
side the jail,” he added.
Purdy said the union
will be speaking to pris-
on management about
staff-to-inmate ratios to
find out whether a lack
of supervision may have
led to a slip.
B.C. Corrections con-
firmed that RCMP were
notified about the trailer
after it was brought to a
fenced in outdoor area to
be repaired by inmates
who participate in the
prison’s work programs.
As a result of the inci-
dent, the prison strength-
ened its policy to prohib-
it public vehicles from
being accepted into any
on-site work programs.
A spokesperson for B.C.
Corrections said prison
staff have many security
practices in place around
the programs.
They include security
checks of all contrac-
tors, as well as regular
searches of both the in-
mates and tools involved
in these programs.
“We are confident in
our security protocols
and do not believe that
this one instance sug-
gests a broader issue,”
said the spokesperson.
“Work experience
is a good thing for in-
mates and the work
they do benefits the
community. All of our
programs are designed
to reduce reoffending.
Work programs pro-
vide valuable experi-
ence for inmates and,
in many cases, assist
with the development
of education and em-
ployment skills.”

A gold chain was ripped off the neck of a
woman Tuesday evening during a robbery
in downtown Maple Ridge.

around 7:20 p.m., when a man got out of
a maroon-red Ford Mustang and grabbed
the chain from her neck.
The man got back into the passenger seat
of the car and fled.
The Mustang had chrome rims and dis-
played a ‘N’ sign, indicating a new driver.
The thief is described as a heavy set white
man in his early 20s, wearing a black
T-shirt, black track pants and black Nike
shoes. He had a tattoo on his upper arm.
The driver is described as a Latin-looking
woman in her early 20s with long hair,
who was wearing a beige jacket.

Nothing like a cup of blueberries
I
f you love blue-
berries for their
wonderful flavour,
eat lots and keep eating
them because they are
one of the best natural
health foods we have.
The USDA Human
Nutrition Centre
has determined that
when compared to 40
other fresh fruits and
vegetables, blueberries Gardening
are No. 1 in antioxidant Brian Minter
activity. In other words,
they help neutralize
harmful by-products of metabolism called
‘free radicals,’ which can lead to cancer
and many age-related diseases.
Anthocyanin, the pigment that creates
the blue colour in blueberries, is primarily
responsible for the major health benefits.
Researchers at Rutgers University in New
Jersey have also found a compound in blue-
berries that promotes urinary tract health
and reduces the risk of infection.
European and Japanese scientists have
documented the relationship between
anthocyanin and improved eyesight and the
easing of eye fatigue.

Don’t hesitate to blend them in

with other acid-loving broad-
leaved plants like rhododendrons,
Pieris japonica or Viburnum tinus.
The American Chemical Society has
released information about a substance in
blueberries called pterostilbene, which has
the potential to lower cholesterol.
Further USDA research has also found
that various compounds in vacciniums
are helpful in reducing obesity and heart
disease.
There is a great deal of research now
taking place on the many health benefits
of blueberries, but if you eat about a cup a
day, you just might be the beneficiary of all
kinds of good stuff.
Blueberry plants are now available in
Despite of all you’ve heard about pollination, blueberries are technically self-fertile.
stores, and they are one of the easiest
plants to grow in a home garden.
Despite of all you’ve heard about pollina-
tion, blueberries are technically self-fertile.
Production, however, is far better if two or
more different varieties are planted. To say
blueberries love acidic soil is an understate-
ment.
It is also important to choose a location
that is rich in organic matter, but be careful
to avoid manures.
There are genetic dwarf, low bush and
high bush varieties of blueberry plants, so
they can fit into almost any garden area.
Don’t hesitate to blend them in with other
acid-loving broad-leaved plants like rho-
dodendrons, Pieris japonica or Viburnum
tinus.
Treat your blueberry plants more as or-
namentals rather than small fruits, and use
them as part of your landscaping. One plant
by itself looks out of place, but a grouping of
three or five, placed close together, blends
nicely into any planting.
For a real novelty, try a true dwarf variety
called ‘Top Hat’. This compact strain sel-
dom grows higher than 30 centimetres and
is well suited to bonsai pots. Granted, its
flavour is not quite the same as some of the
commercial varieties, but its fruit still tastes
good on cereal or over ice cream.
A more flavourful low variety is the cute
little ‘Brunswick’, which only grows 18 cm
high and less than a metre wide and is quite
at home planted in a bed of heathers or
dwarf conifers.
Most blueberry varieties fall into early,
mid- or late-season classifications.
THE NEWS/files
With our ideal growing area, I recommend
planting one of each type to prolong the
harvest period.
You can stretch the season ever further by
planting the extra early variety called ‘El-
liot’ and the extra late one called ‘Spartan’.
If you’re hung up on really big ber-
ries, then the largest in the world are the
‘Darrow’ and ‘Chandler’. Both have great
flavour.
Birds are the main pest affecting blue-
berries in the home garden, and netting is
really the only solution.
Now is a great time to plant blueberries.
They are one of the very best health foods
in the world.

BCAA’s top tips
on water damage.
Spring has finally arrived.
With the long-waited warmth
comes the spring thaw – and
with it, the danger of water
damage. Water damage can
appear slowly, such as a water
spot, or be instantaneous. Either
way, it almost always results
in rotting wood, mold, rusting
metal – and devastating costs.
That’s why, if water causes
damage to your home, BCAA
advises you to act
quickly to prevent
further damage.
Follow these steps
to get started:
1. Locate and shut HOME
off your main INSURANCE
WITH
water supply
line to prevent ZLATA
further water STUMP
from entering
your home.
2. Contact your insurance
company first as they can
start your claim and send
out help get the clean-up
started.
3. Determine what kind of
water you are dealing
with. There are three types
of water that have varying
effects on your health:
a. Clean water typically
results from an
overflowing sink or a
leaky appliance hose. It
does not pose a health
risk.
b. Grey water typically
results from toilet bowls,
dishwashers or washing
machines. It contains
some contaminants and
could cause sickness.

ketball team, and when she gets
the ball, there’s not much that
can stop her from taking it to the
hoop.
“She’s dominant,” says her
coach Mike Evans. “She’s physi-
cally strong and she has a great
skills package.
“She’s as a good a player as I’ve
ever coached.”
It’s not uncommon for Muir to
get double- or even triple-teamed
by opposing defences as they
desperately try to neutralize her.
More often then not, they fail
miserably.
However, this past season Muir
was noticeable on the court for a
different reason: her bald head.
Muir has a rare form of brain
cancer. This past November, she
underwent an aggressive round
of radiation treatment in an effort
to stop the growth of the tumor
that resides inside of her.
After four years of surgeries and
chemotherapy, the cancer Muir
had fought into submission had
returned with renewed vigor.
Evans was preparing for the
team’s practice one day in Sep-
tember when his star player told
him the cancer had returned. Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS
