Now the 22-year-old actor from Maple Ridge is one of five finalists vying for the Live@YVR contest, where he could be the correspondent who will live, eat, and sleep at YVR for 80 days. If he wins, he will sleep at The Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel, live in the YVR community, and experience the endless stories of YVR's 23,600 employees and 400 businesses starting Aug. 17. YVR is Canada's second busiest airport. It's like right out of the Tom Hanks movie, The Terminal, where Hanks' character Viktor Navorski finds himself stranded in JFK Airport and takes up temporary residence there, Lee said. The young Albion man is competing for votes against four other finalists from across the Lower Mainland. The winner becomes the Live@YVR correspondent who will be equipped with a camera and editing equipment and will act as an all-in-one producer, director, reporter, editor, and postproduction supervisor. That person must uncover stories and share the triumphs � and trials � of living at an airport full time on www.liveatyvr.ca, Facebook, and Twitter. Five finalists were chosen from a pool of 96 B.C. entrants who submitted videos. The other finalists are: 36-year-old Carrie Dymond, 29-year-old Jaeger Mah, and 24-year-old Sarah Szloboda, all of Vancouver, along with Sylver McLaren/TIMES Chris Lee of Maple Ridge could be selected to live, eat, and sleep at Vancouver Airport. He's one of five finalist for the Live@YVR contest. Marelle Reid, 29, of Coquitlam. The winner will be given $15,000 � $7,500 at the beginning of the assignment and the other half when finished. Lee was valedictorian in 2007 for Samuel Robertson Technical's first graduating class. He has a diploma from the Vancouver Academy of Dramatic Arts, and attended Shoreline Studios acting school for a year and a half. He has been a professional actor for three years, working on commercials, short films, and theatre productions � YVR potentially being his most challenging role. "Chris was chosen because he has a twinkle in his eye and a sense of humour," said Rebecca Catley, communications director for Vancouver Airport Authority. "We were incredibly impressed by the quality and quantity of video entries for Live@YVR and the diversity of personalities and video submissions," Catley said. "I was shocked when I heard that I was selected to be a finalist," said Lee, adding that he taught himself how to use Final Cut Pro in three days while making his submission video. "I enter contests all the time but I've never won. I can't even run that fast � this is the first time I have gotten this far in any contest," Lee added. "Now it's the public's turn to have its say on who will tell the behind-the-scenes stories of its airport," noted Catley. The public has until Aug. 5 to vote online at www.liveatyvr.ca for its favourite finalist. Lee's video submission can be seen at http://liveatyvr.ca/ entry/183360.

But inside the duck suits, there have been many volunteers, young and old, male and female, from a variety of organizations. The 1st Laityview Scouts have jumped on board with the first annual Rotary duck event, making the duck's presence known to residents in Maple Ridge, thereby, promoting ticket sales. Maureen Pengelly, whose three sons are in Scouts and Venturers, has been acting as a liaison between the Meadow Ridge Rotary Club and the Scouts to help rally volunteers for the event. "It's that sense of community," Pengelly said about helping the Rotary club. "That's what Scouts Maria Rantanen/TIMES is all about."

We're located at 22345 North Avenue, Maple Ridge, B.C. The TIMES has a CCAB audited circulation of 29,001. Thursday, July 28, 2011 Our View Giving a quack There's a fun family event planned at Maple Ridge Park. Meadow Ridge Rotary Club's inaugural duck race is being held on Sunday, with upwards of 10,000 rubber duckies expected to swim down a section of the Alouette River. The 1 p.m. race is sure to be a nailbitting blast for onlookers who have bucks riding on the ducks. There's more than $35,000 worth of prizes � not least of which is a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. But there's more fun than the race itself. There will full-on carnival-style, free, family festival, complete with clowns, facepainting, arts and crafts, bouncy castles, vendors, local performers, and visiting ducks of all sizes. Real accolades go to the founders of the Rotary Duck Race. They've devised a fun fundraiser fitting for a community rich in outdoor recreation opportunities. And it's aimed at making a real difference in the lives of children in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. The club that has helped the community recognize its Hometown Heroes for years has created another annual fundraiser � one that could raise up to $100,000 for KidSport and local youth. The first $25,000 (apparently already exceeded) goes towards KidSport. The rest of the funds will be divided among 15 local youth organizations. Many of the youthful benefactors of this initiative won't fully appreciate how lucky they are to have such an incredible team of local business people working so hard on their behalf. But the team here at The TIMES, your community newspaper reporters who have been reporting on local individual and team sports for more than a quarter century, realize how significant this Rotary Duck Race contribution is to our kids. It's a huge gesture for less fortunate kids who might not otherwise be able to play sports. It helps give our youth a rewarding and fun option to "hanging out" and maybe travelling down a troubled road. Even if you can't be there for race day, consider buying a ticket. It gives you a chance to win a Jeep, a trip for two, or a myriad other prizes. But mostly, you'll help ensure a promising future for our youth. � R.H.

But after reading the article by Sylver McLaren [Mayor's race empties council chairs, July 12, TIMES] I feel compelled to voice my outrage over Councillor John Becker's arrogant remarks. I can't help but wonder why a man who clearly doesn't care about his colleagues, has no respect for the office, and obviously feels he is far above the average citizen of this community would put his name forward to run for the position of mayor. How generous of him to offer two days a week to the office! It is insulting that he referred to his colleagues as dogs (Huskies) and himself as the head dog to lead the pack. Clearly, Mr. Becker wants Pitt Meadows run his way or no way. His comments about kissing babies and shaking hands � what a joke! The only time you see Mr. Becker at any public event is during the months leading up to an election. It is quite obvious that Mr. Becker no longer wants to be on council and is asking for a way out. Please, my fellow citizens, let's help him, and vote him out. K. Jensen, Pitt Meadows Haney Builders' Supplies Ltd.

Anyone can get a bike and ride. There are no men barring the entrances to our cycle shops. But as we have so frequently seen, women seem to need special groups. Surely the fact that more men are cycling to their destinations is positive and should be praised. Instead, we get more anti-male feminist propaganda.

Suspicious blaze Barn reduced to rubble firstname.lastname@example.com by Sylver McLaren A suspicious fire reduced a Maple Ridge barn to ash and debris earlier this week, leaving fire officials hunting for the cause. For the second time in a week, firefighters were called out to 12489 232nd St. The first time was Saturday, when the owner was illegally burning yard waste, said assistant fire chief Mark Smitton. Then, on Tuesday afternoon, three trucks, and 12 firefighters were called back again. They worked to quickly douse the barn fire, bringing it under control within an hour, Smitton said. Later the same day, the barn � which had no electrictity � was levelled by an excavator for safety purposes, he added. And a few hours after the blaze, all that remained was fire truck ruts, muck, one burned out Mercedes that had been pulled out of the burning barn, another slightly singed car and piles of rubble. Firefighters are still investigating the cause of the fire. Smitton confirmed that the five-acreplus lot once had a home on it. It burned down two years ago, he said. As an aside, he reminded residents that only people living east of 240th Street can apply for backyard burning permits.

Two men have declared they want to run as NDP candidates in the next provincial election in Maple Ridge-Mission. The Maple Ridge-Mission NDP is gearing up for a nomination meeting to select a candidate to run provincially. According to the Maple Ridge-Mission constituency association president Simon Challenger, the provincial NDP is being "prudent" by lining up a candidate in case the writ drops and an election is called. "Like everybody else, we're watching with amusement what's happening with Christy Clark and the gang," Challenger said. Bob D'Eith, executive director of the Music BC Industry Association and an entertainment lawyer, was the first to be approved as a nominee. Mike Bocking, who ran for the seat in the 2009 election and lost to Liberal Marc Dalton, is the second person hoping to be the candidate in the provincial constituency. Having at least two potential candidates means there there will be an actual race, Challenger said. Bocking lost to Dalton by only 68 votes in the 2009 election, and he said, given people are "very upset" with everything that's gone on in politics, he should be able to win in the next election. The HST is a big issue for the electorate, Bocking said, but he also said there's been a "huge shift" of taxation from big corporations to the middle class. "It's time for a fair tax system where everyone pays their share," Bocking said. The local constituency Bob D'Eith association would like to have the nomination meeting within the next six weeks, which would give time for the candidates to campaign. "There will be some politicking going on [within the association]," Challenger said. D'Eith said he would like to run to ensure social justice returns to B.C. "Provincially, there hasn't been a correct strategy to deal with homelessness, mental illness, and drug addiction," he said. He said provincial policies have been brought in that hurt "hard-working citizens, from shifting tax to consumers with the HST, to taking gaming funds away from charities, to cutting funding to arts and culture, to dismantling legal aid to the most vulnerable in our society, to crippling our court system." "We have lost our way. We need to shift gears and put in a government that puts the interests of its citizens first. We need to bring in a government dedicated to social justice." D'Eith would also like to address the agricultural land reserve issue, and wants to strike the right balance between protecting farmland and development. D'Eith has lived in Maple Ridge for nine years, is married, and has three children and two step-children in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District. He has volunteered with the Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey Association as a coach for four years.

One group did especially well and sold 200 tickets. Ridge Meadows Speedskating Association tries to raise about $10,000 a year to subsidize the ice costs, said RMSSA vicepresident Trish MacKay. "I think it's just fabulous," exclaimed MacKay. "Originally we were told we would get to keep 50 per cent of the ticket sales, with the other portion going towards KidSport," said MacKay. However, she heard that businesses have sold so many duck tickets that the participating groups might be able to keep 100 per cent of their own sales. If RMSSA gets to keep 100 per cent of the ticket sales that will be $2,000 or 20 per cent of the yearly fundraising efforts. "We usually do bottle drives, pub nights, raffles, and competitions, but this was so much better � better prizes can sell more tickets," MacKay said. Bob Shantz, the race's chief legal officer, said he hopes what MacKay heard will be true.

They are the only team in mainland B.C. to make it this far, and they need votes to win a $125,000 upgrade to a soccer field in Pitt Meadows. It's easy for people to vote: they just have to go to www.bmosoccer.com; register their email address, name, age, and postal code; and vote for the Pitt Meadows Rockets. Coach Jamie Schwingenschloegl hopes locals will vote every day. The national contest encourages youth soccer teams between the ages of seven and 12 to submit their story, focusing on team pride, spirit, community commitment, and passion for the game. Now, the top 15 finalists have the chance to win the $125,000 grand prize and a trip to a Toronto FC or Vancouver Whitecaps FC soccer match. Four girls from the team, Kirsten Koellmel, CHEER YOUR DUCK ON! COME JOIN THE FUN, FAMILY DAY! ENTERTAINMENT The Rockets have a unique opportunity to win $125,000 towards fixing up a soccer field in Pitt Meadows. The Rockets are top (left to right) Danielle Lindenbach, Christina Jones, Deanna Raposo, Makenzy Schwingenschloegl, coach Jamie Schwingenschloegl, Shae Erlendson, and Madison Schmidt, with (bottom) Sierrah Burrows, Kelsey Tierney, Kirsten Koellmel, Taryn Antelek, and Sam Loge. Christina Jones, Madison Schmidt, and Makenzy Schwingenschloegl, gave a cheer at a recent Pitt Meadows council meeting, after Coach Schwingenschloegl gave a presentation about the contest. The team was selected out of a pool of 500 other teams because of the players' outstanding attitudes on and off the field, he told council. These girls have grown from "five-year-olds doing ballet kicks on the field," to the team they are today, said Schwingenschloegl, who has coached most of them for five years. The Rockets hosted a Soccer Day in Pitt Meadows on Sunday, July 24 "to raise awareness in our community so more people would be inclined to vote for us every day between Aug. 1 and Aug. 15th," said Schwingenschloegl. They also held a bydonation barbecue to raise money for the Canadian Tire Jumpstart Program. They raised $623.27. This is a charity they have already donated $500 to as part of being named finalist in the BMO Team of the Week. The kids had a food drive, as well. "We had collected more than 700 items of food, which was enough food to feed children in need in our area for over a month. It was a very emotional moment for the girls and the parents. The girls were so proud of their accomplishment after hearing the news," he said. The BMO Team of the Week voting runs Aug. 1 to 15. Residents across Canada can vote for any one of the remaining 15 teams, and help determine the champion. Coach Schwingenschloegl reiterated that folks can vote once a day online at www.gorockets.ca or www.bmosoccer.com, and must have a valid email address and postal code. 10am -11am ..............................Caden Knudson 11am-12pm ................................Rory MacRury 12pm-1:30pm ..........................Tequila Cowboys 1:30pm-2:30pm ............................Midlife Crisis 2:30pm-3pm .................................

Left to grieve is the love of his life, Judy (nee Ordog), wife of 29 years, daughter Ashley and son Kevin. Sharing in this grief is a large extended family and a very large contingent of loyal, long-term friends. Brian is predeceased by his parents Rose and Elidio Salvador, and recently a very special aunt and uncle, Betty Salvador and George Oliver. Brian grew up in Creston, BC and graduated from UBC in Vancouver, class of 1971, B.Comm. He began his career at Bank of Montreal and through his career moved through various positions at Vancity, HSBC and Telus. Brian exemplified the human part of human resources. He was warm, kind, funny, intelligent, had integrity and a strong work ethic. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word. In 2001, Brian opened his own business, Foot Solutions, in Port Coquitlam and for almost 10 years built its success through his innate caring and compassion for his customers. Above all, Brian was a family man. He was an amazing father and husband. We love you with all our hearts, and will miss you forever. A celebration of life will be held at 11:30am, Thursday, July 28th, at the Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club at 3251 Plateau Bvld., Coquitlam. Ashley is running a marathon to honour her dad and to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, please consider donating by going to http://doiop.com/briansalvador.

(But you will, many times in the eight years ahead.) Depending on your age and situation, romance could be replaced by creative surges, sports, vacation, joys with children, or speculative pursuits. Remember, don't start anything important before Aug. 26 � except this weekend's love affair. (It will turn into a puzzler, but still worth it.) Tackle routine chores Monday/Tuesday. Relationships bless and puzzle, Wednesday onward. Taurus April 20-May 20: Delay big new starts until Aug. 26 onward. A sweet, beneficial aura settles over your home life, property issues, gardening, retirement plans, security concerns, and with parent-children issues and projects. (These are especially lucky Sunday.) Though you might feel a bit sluggish, the weeks ahead will be very active. Themes of beauty and love toy with your thoughts, like the breeze with a curtain, especially Monday/Tuesday. Old flames allure, then are gone. You can accomplish important (not new) chores Wednesday to Saturday, but be diplomatic, co-operative Friday/ Saturday. Gemini May 21-June 20: This week starts with a great weekend (July 30 and 31). Love and society's approval seem to mix, though this takes place on a light, friendly note rather than with romance's mad flush. Your conscience is pleased.A trip pleases, a friendship could blossom, Sunday or Wednesday/Thursday (and all month). Still, certain "disagreements" of belief, religion, law, philosophy lurk, and could spring out swiftly, Monday, Thursday or Friday. You're prone to make casual comments which others take seriously. Start no new projects before Aug. 26 � they would fail. Money's coming � bank it! July 31 - August 6, 2011 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Start no new projects or relationships beforeAug.26.A very interesting month faces you, filled with quiet but potent mysteries, possibilities, financial keys, golden secrets, intimate bonds and lifestyle choices. And yet � you shouldn't start anything new! The viable stuff will come from the past, or from ongoing situations. Keep an eye on indecision, missed deadlines, miscalculated profits...but do delve deep and see what's there. (Especially Sunday, when money is "in the ground.") Someone seriously contemplates letting you into their privacy. Hopes rise at week's end. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The general accent lies on opportunity, fresh horizons, partnerships, agreements and disputes, negotiation and litigation. You generally like this area, you feel a certain life force or vivacity here. Sunday could be spectacular in these things � be open, forward, approach others, be diplomatic, eager to join. In some cases, love occurs! Remember, though, not to start anything new and important before Aug. 26. So those opportunities might come from the past, or the fresh air come from breaking old chains. Secrets yield profits Monday. Higher-ups are watching Friday/Saturday. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Separate routine chores from new, difficult or unfamiliar ones. Tackle only the former before Aug. 26. You might have to clean up an old mess, or re-assume a former employment role. A nice reward accompanies these activities. Co-workers are pleasant, affectionate. If someone offers you a different job Sunday, grab it! But DO NOT buy machinery, a car, electronics, etc. � even clothes � before Aug. 26. Your romantic scene is going to heat up soon. That's better than chasing a money gamble that lures you. An ex-partner or spouse might appear � it's short. Secrets midweek. firstname.lastname@example.com � Reading: 416-686-5014 Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Start nothing new before Aug. Cancer June 21-July 22: Start nothing new before 26. Soon (next week onward) welcome faces from the Aug. 26. Stick with ongoing projects and relationships, past will enter, among them, perhaps, a former light or reprise past ones.

The weeks ahead hold good money is fully on present company � social delights, light luck, especially in the spheres of property, family and romance, popularity, organizations, politics, conventions. friends. (Friends and conventions are excellent conduits Don't make any big new relationships, though.
