The containers were installed at
the Fraser Regional Correctional

The holding area has also received
upgrades to wiring and its satellite

Shopping scenarios to ALC
Council will refine ideas
before sending for comment
by Phi l M elnyc h u k
staff reporter
Maple Ridge council has rejected
its consultant’s advice and is focus-
ing on two scenarios that call for
the most intensive development of
Albion flats.
The decision came at its Tues-
day meeting, to be followed by
more discussion on Monday, when
council hammers out exactly what
it wants to see for the farmland on
Lougheed Highway and 105th Av-
enue.
In his report to council, consul-
tant Mark Holland recommends
all four scenarios that came out of
the brainstorming and public meet-
ing sessions last fall be sent to the
Agricultural Land Commission for
comment.
Scenarios 2 and 4 call for develop-
ment on both sides of 105th Avenue
and a minimum of 1.7-million sq.
feet of commercial/industrial space,
while Scenarios 1 and 3 call for less
intense development, emphasizing
recreation and leaving most of the
west side as farmland.
“I do think there’s a lot more
conversation we can have with the
public,” said Coun. Cheryl Ashlie.
She pointed out that the ALC
could favour an option calling for
heavy recreational use, which the
district couldn’t afford anyways.
She favoured the idea of only
sending two scenarios, as long as
some elements from the other two
could be considered.
Council hired top planners to
sketch out options for the area af-
ter getting community input, but
it’s council’s job to decide what
to do with it, added Mayor Ernie
Daykin.
“We’ve been working on this a
while,” he added. “It’s quite clear,
folks want to see more shopping
options.”
Council could settle on a blend
of all scenarios, then have an open

Learn lessons on a wired world
Workshop on social
media will offer tips
to help kids stay
safe as they
socialize online

C
pl. Todd Balaban
estimates his teen
daughter’s Black-
berry buzzes every 15
seconds, vibrating when
friends update their sta-
tus, send or receive mes-
sages, post pictures, or
tweet.
“Quite frankly, it drives
me nuts,” says Balaban,
whose insight into the
wired world of teenagers
comes first-hand through
his four kids.
The first thing he no-
ticed when he returned
from a year spent train-
ing police in Afghanistan
was: The big World Wide
Web had gone mobile.
Everything you once
did on a large desktop
computer was compactly
packed into a little smart-
phone.
“I come back and it’s
gone from Hotmail and
MSN to Black Berry Mes-
senger being the biggest
thing,” he says.
“Mobility has become a
big thing for kids. There
is no downtime for kids
anymore. They are be-
ing instantly notified of
everything that’s going
on.”
According to an Ipsos
Reid study, 76 per cent of
Canadian teenagers aged
12 to 17 now have a social
network profile, up from
50 per cent in 2007.
These days when some-
thing happens inside or
outside a classroom, it is

While social networking sites can
increase a person’s circle of friends,
they also can increase exposure

intentions.

• explain that kids should post
only information that you – and
they – are comfortable with others
seeing;
• use privacy settings to restrict
who can access and post on your
child’s website;
• remind your kids that once they
post information online, they can’t
take it back;
• talk to your kids about avoiding
and get websites to take
them down.
There are also many
stories about people who
were stalked by someone
they met online, had their
identity stolen, or had
their computer hacked.
Balaban knows par-

• understand sites’ privacy policies.

“They are pretty strong rumours.
Usually when there isn’t going to
be anything, you see them down-
grade things, so it leads us to be-
lieve that the rumours that are out
there are true.”
The possibility of adding more
people to the already overcrowd-
ed facility on 256th Street has the
union very concerned.
Built to hold 254 inmates, Fraser
regional is 200 per cent over capac-
ity, said Purdy.
“It’s only going to make our cur-
rent situation more difficult to deal
with.”
The Canadian Border Service
Agency confirmed that the por-
tables were brought in at their
request, but assures they are only
being installed to house staff.
“It is actually CBSA working
space,” said spokesperson Shakila
Manzoor.
“It improves their working condi-
tions.”
She would not say if the agency is
aware that more ships with asylum
seekers are headed to Canada.
As of Monday, the CBSA had re-
leased 337 adults who arrived on
the MV Sun Sea from custody.
That means 112 still remain in de-
tention, 12 of those on federal court
stays.
Of those 112, 106 men and six are
women.
Manzoor couldn’t say how soon
the 112 people will be processed.
“It’s on a case by case basis.”
Conservative MP Randy Kamp is
not aware of any imminent arriv-
als, but said federal government
agencies are is keeping an eye on
human smuggling activities over-
seas.
“I’ve heard the weather condi-
tions are such that a ship probably
wouldn’t try to make that voyage
until later in the spring,” he added.
“We hope there are no more on
their way and I haven’t heard of
any.”
Besides working with countries
like Thailand, Kamp said, the fed-
eral government has proposed Bill
C-45 as a way to curb human smug-
gling. The bill calls for a five-year
waiting period before those who
arrive by smuggling can apply for
permanent residency and allows
for jailing for up to a year while
their status is determined.
“It is putting pressure on our re-
sources and the integrity of our im-
migration system and that’s why
we felt like we need to introduce
legislation that address it,” said
Kamp.
Opposition parties, however,
have said they won’t support the
bill in its current form.

Pitt Meadows pilot survives plane crash

by Jason Roessle
Black Press
One of the pilots in a mid-air
crash involving two small planes
just east of Mission Wednesday is
from Pitt Meadows.
According to RCMP, Don Hub-
ble, 60, from Langley was the pilot
of the Cessna 150 that crashed into
Nicomen Slough. He along with
his passenger, Patrick Lobsinger,
70, from Surrey, passed away.
The pilot of the second plane
that made a emergency landing in
a field was Paul Knapp from Pitt
Meadows.
The two planes were part of a
formation team with two others.
Ron Smit, was driving home
from work when he heard about
the crash. Being a pilot himself,
he headed towards the site, near
Waring Road and Lougheed High-
way. When he arrived on Waring,
he saw a Cessna 150 in the field
and realized he knew the pilot,
then went over and spoke with his
friend.
The pilot said he was flying with
three other planes and lost sight
of the other aircraft when one
suddenly flew into his aircraft at
speeds Smit estimated would have
been 100 mph (160 km/h). The

Meadows, is consoled by an RCMP
officer.
planes hit, locked together, then
spiralled out of control and head-
ed towards the ground.
Smit said his friend worked the
controls and tried to disconnect
the planes. At about 500 feet, the
planes came apart and the pilot
surprisingly found all his controls
were functional. He was able to
shut off the fuel, power down the
plane, then make an emergency
landing into the field.
The other plane crashed into the
slough, and according to Mission
RCMP Sgt. Miriam Dickson, one
of the two occupants in the air-
craft perished on scene. The other
was taken to Royal Columbian
Hospital via air ambulance and
died later in the evening.
A Transportation Safety Board
(TSB) investigator said the lead
plane that crashed into Mission’s
Nicomen slough was rear-ended
by the second plane, which made
an emergency landing in a farm-
er’s field.
Langley Airport manager
George Miller said the small for-
mation team flies out of the Lang-
ley airfield on a regular basis and
has taken part in Remembrance
Day fly-overs in the area for the
past half a dozen years.
TSB’s Damien Lawson said the
area of the crash is officially rec-
ognized for training and that the
four planes were flying in a dia-
mond formation when the incident
occurred. He could not elaborate
as to why the two planes came in
contact with one another.
Formation flying is a regular
occurrence in the area, Lawson
added, and the distances between
planes are not regulated and are “Drop in anytime, or
up to the individual pilots. The
four practised together regularly,

A show of courage
D
ay after day they show up in the heat
and cold, subject to scrutiny of the secret
police, demanding democracy, to have a
vote that counts and to make their living free
from corruption.
The heroic Egyptians continue to amaze the
world.
Since Jan. 25, they have risked their lives and
those of their families to fight corruption and rid
their country of a dictator and oppressor.
It’s a struggle that’s gripped the world in real
time and can only be compared with the fall of
the Berlin Wall in 1989 that marked the end of the
Iron Curtain.
In Egypt, dictator Hosni Mubarak is, for all in-
tents and purposes, done. While he refused to
step down completely on Thursday, despite the
anticipation of millions who’ve awaited his de-
parture, his announcement that he’s transferring
powers to the vice-president to await elections in
September, is also a victory.
While he may technically may still have the title,
Mubarak is no longer in control. In the past few
weeks, he’s made concession after concession.
That trend won’t stop until he’s gone completely.
Providing there isn’t a bloody reaction of inhu-
man scale, the people of Egypt, who’ve already
tasted freedom and self-determination, won’t
let up until there’s no trace of Mubarak and his
henchmen.
It’s a lesson we should mind in comfortable
Canada: Free elections, democracy, a clean gov-
ernment, freedom of expression, never should be
taken for granted, even here.
Each generation must ensure this torch is
passed to the next.
To Egypt, your liberation is at hand.

Playground tunnel pepper-sprayed
Incident reported
to police on
Saturday, but dad
finds equipment
was never cleaned
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter
A Maple Ridge dad
is questioning why the
municipality took four
days to clean equip-
ment at a playground
which was coated with
pepper spray.
Robin Monkman re-
ported the incident
to police on Saturday
night after he noticed
a tunnel in a park off
Fletcher Street was
smeared with a bright
orange-red residue.
Monk’s four-year-
old son and wife com-
plained about stinging
eyes and skin when
they returned home
from the playground
that night, even though
they stayed away from
the tunnel.
Monkman said he

SD 42 reviewing class schedules
Superintendent Jan Unwin not pleased

School District No. 42
is conducting a review of
its class scheduling, just
three years after switch-

sparked student protests
across the district.
Superintendent Jan
Unwin said the district
has hired a consultant to
review all schedules and
timetables, to look at
ways of improving learn-
ing, reducing absentee-
ism, and saving money.
“We know we aren’t

have signed up for the
2011/12 school year, an
increase of 50 to 60 stu-

time last year, superin-
tendent Jan Unwin said
at Wednesday’s school
board meeting.

Meanwhile, only 13 stu-

Unwin said the dis-

will be to find French

Public Notice
This notice is issued in accordance with Sections 94 and 227 of the Community Charter.
The Municipal Council of the Corporation of the District of Maple Ridge proposes to adopt Maple Ridge Revitalization
Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 6789-2011.
Program details
The Program applies to construction
projects meeting certain conditions,
in the Town Centre Investment
Incentive Areas:
• Apartment or Mixed Use Building
construction of:
• Four-storeys or higher occurring
within Sub Area 1; or,
• Five-storeys or higher occurring
in Sub Area 2.
• New Commercial construction with
a building permit value greater
than or equal to $1,000,000;
• Commercial Renovation with a
building permit value greater than
or equal to $20,000;
• Commercial Façade Improvement
with a building permit value greater
than or equal to $10,000;
• LEED®-Silver or better or Alternate/
Renewable Energy Projects.
Reasons for and objectives of the
program
The District of Maple Ridge has
made significant investments in the
Town Centre over the last several
years, in keeping with Council’s
vision to create a vibrant and
dynamic Town Centre. An incentive
program has been established to
accelerate private sector investment
in residential and commercial
projects to help achieve Council’s
vision, and this Revitalization Tax
Exemption Program Bylaw is one
element of that incentive program.
A Revitalization Tax Exemption
Program is established under this
bylaw to:
• Encourage residential investment
to diversify housing options, to
increase density in the Town
Centre, to provide a larger base of
residents to support commercial
activities;
• Encourage commercial investment
to create a strong local economy
and expand employment
opportunities for citizens;
• Increase pedestrian traffic with
added residential and commercial
activity, both to support local
business, and to enhance safety;
• Encourage and support the use
of environmentally sustainable
building construction methods
and materials, and encourage
energy efficiency and alternative
technologies.
How the objectives will be
accomplished
It is intended that this tax
exemption program will encourage

Designated area for the Program – Town Centre Investment Incentive Areas
various types of development to
achieve a range of economic, social
and environmental objectives,
and that growth in the residential
and commercial sectors will
follow. Increased density will
support enhanced commercial
activity and increase pedestrian
traffic, achieving greater live/
work options, improved safety for
individuals and property, and an
expanded customer base for local
businesses.
Tax exemptions available
The tax exemption is equivalent to
100% of the municipal property
tax on the non-market change
attributed to an eligible project
(pursuant to this bylaw), for three
years. For LEED®-Silver or better
or Alternative/Renewable Energy
Projects, a tax exemption of six
years will apply.
---------
A copy of the bylaw and the staff
report considered by Council will
be available for public inspection
at the Municipal Hall Reception
Desk between 8:00 am and
4:00 pm from February 8 to
February 22, 2011, Saturdays,
Sundays and statutory holidays
excepted. This information is also
posted on the District’s website
www.mapleridge.ca on the Town
Centre Investment
Program page.
Incentives
ALL PERSONS who deem
themselves affected by this bylaw
shall be afforded an opportunity
to make their comments known
to the Municipal Council by
forwarding written submissions
to the attention of the Manager of
Legislative Services or by sending
an email to the Clerk’s Department
at clerks@mapleridge.ca by
4:00 pm, February 22, 2011. All

Debate on where
fish kill originated
Was it in Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadows?
by Ph i l M e lnych uk
staff reporter
Maple Ridge and Pitt
Meadows are at odds
about where hundreds
of little fish found ex-
pired in the North Alou-
ette River almost two
years ago actually died.
While environmental-
ist Jack Emberly found
the fish a few hundred
metres east of Neaves
Bridge, the fish kill sup-
posedly happened in
Maple Ridge, Pitt Mead-
ows council heard last
week.
“There’s been a bit a
misunderstanding as to
where this took place,”
said Pitt Meadows May-
or Don MacLean.
“A lot of people, in-
dividual residents of
Maple Ridge, feel that
it was in Pitt Meadows
and I don’t believe it
was,” MacLean said at
the Feb. 1 council meet-
ing.
“The fish kill was ac-
tually within Maple
Ridge’s jurisdiction on
the North Alouette,”
said Kim Grout, direc-
tor of development ser-
vices.
She said later that
Pitt Meadows initially
learned of the incident
from Maple Ridge.
“We know Maple Ridge
was working on it with
their council and there
was some discussion on
it and it was described
to us as upstream.”
Grout said the City of
Pitt Meadows was only
concerned with the
unauthorized installa-
tion of the water intake
Rain leads to blow
out near river
by Ph i l M e lnych uk
staff reporter
A mud blowout near
the South Alouette
River last week was
handled well, according
to the Alouette River
Management Society.
The incident happened
last Friday as crews
were drilling horizon-
tally beneath the river
in order to install a sani-
tary sewer line exten-
sion to Fraser Regional
Correctional Centre on
256th Street.
“It was a huge sur-
prise, a bit of an embar-
rassment to the contrac-
tor,” said Geoff Clayton.
On the other hand, he
added, there was a good
pump by Golden Eagle
Group, also in the North
Alouette. The company
says there’s no connec-
tion between the pump’s
installation and the fish
kill.
An Environment Can-
ada report from July
2009 found no cause for
the death of the fish.
Maple Ridge Mayor
Ernie Daykin disagrees
about the location of the
fish kill.
“I’m 99.8 per cent sure
that it happened in Pitt
Meadows.”
Emberly confirmed
last week that he found
the fish downstream of
the irrigation intake,
within Pitt Meadows
boundaries.
Geoff Clayton, with
the Alouette River Man-
agement System, said
Grout should recheck
the city’s boundaries.
“That just doesn’t hap-
pen to be true.”
Amanda Balcke, exec-
utive-director of ARMS,
also saw a dozen dead
fingerlings on May 25,
2009 near where Golden
Eagle Group excavated
before installing the
45-centimetre wide wa-
ter intake pipe for its
cranberry fields.
The company has ad-
mitted it installed the
pipe in early June and
pumped 100,000 litres
from the river without
a receiving a water li-
cence from the Water
Stewardship Division of
the Ministry of Environ-
ment.
That’s still under in-
vestigation by the At-
torney General depart-
ment.
response.
The hole had been
capped with driller’s
clay, but after heavy
rains, pressure in-
creased and the plug
fractured, spewing mud
on to Alouette Road.
Clayton was called
about half an hour after
the incident. Crushed
rock dams were built
to contain the flow and
four truckloads of mud
were vacuumed up dur-
ing the cleanup.
He said that what little
got in the river was well
handled.
Ministry of Environ-
ment and Fisheries and
Oceans Canada also
were contacted.
“It seemed like the
system worked.”

Flowers not just for Valentine’s Day
V
alentine’s Day is
just around the
corner.
If you really want
to make your special
person happy, here is
something you may find
interesting.
The Society of Ameri-
can Florists partnered
with world renowned
researcher Jeannette
Haviland-Jones, Ph.D., Gardening
of Rutgers University, Brian Minter
on some ground-break-
ing research to examine
the effect of flowers on human emotion and
well being.
Over 10 months, some very interesting
results were discovered.
Dr. Haviland-Jones and her research
team found that the presence of flowers
triggers happy emotions, heightens feel-
ings of life satisfaction and affects future
behaviour in a positive manner far beyond
what is normally true.
Flowers are a natural and healthful mod-
erator of moods.

“Common sense tells us that

flowers make us happy.”
Dr. Jeannette Haviland-Jones, Ph.D.
Rutgers University

“Common sense tells us that flowers

make us happy,” says Dr. Haviland-Jones,
“and now science shows that not only do
flowers make us happier than we know,
they have strong positive effects on our
emotional well being.”
Here are five main points as condensed
from her report.
• Flowers have an immediate impact on
happiness. Study participants expressed
true or excited smiles upon receiving flow-
ers, demonstrating extraordinary delight
and gratitude. This reaction was universal,
occurring in all age groups.
• Flowers have a long-term positive effect
on moods. Study participants reported feel-
ing less depressed, anxious and agitated
after receiving flowers, and demonstrated
a higher sense of enjoyment and life satis-
Study participants reported feeling less depressed, anxious and agitated after receiving flowers.
faction.
• Flowers make intimate connections.
The presence of flowers led to increased
contact with family and friends.
• Flowers are a symbol for sharing. The
study explored where in their homes
people displayed flowers. Once received,
arrangements were placed in areas of the
home that are open to visitors – such as
foyers, living rooms and dining rooms –
suggesting that flowers make the space
more welcoming and create a sharing
atmosphere.
• People who buy more flowers are
happier. Once learning the study results,
participants in all ages and gift categories
reported that they would be buying more
flowers in the future.
This may seem like a bit of promotion for
the floral and horticultural industry, but I
Metro Creative Connection
thought these results would be interesting
to everyone.
With so much stress and depression in
today’s world, it’s great to know that some-
thing as simple as a bouquet of flowers can
help to cheer someone up – a nice thought
just before Valentine’s Day.

Gardens just outside of Chilliwack.

Pitt Meadows secondary Grade 12 student Martin Duckhorn is off to Simon Fraser University next season after receiving a scholarship to play for the Clan’s NCAA Division II football program.
Marauder star Duckhorn no dumb jock
All-star linebacker and tight
end lands scholarship to SFU,
plans to become a doctor
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter
M
artin Duckhorn doesn’t
have much time for stereo-
types.
When he’s not on the football
field or in the gym, the Grade 12
student at Pitt Meadows secondary
is too busy studying to take much
notice. His grades are consistently
As and Bs, and is an honours stu-
dent at the school.
Still, as the Pitt Meadows Ma-
rauders senior football team’s star
linebacker and tight end, some
people will occasionally assume
he’s nothing but a dumb jock.
“That really annoys me,” Duck-
horn says. “Some people think just
because you play football, you can’t
be smart.”
He is doing much to tear down
that particular stereotype.
Last Thursday, Duckhorn offi-
cially inked a lucrative scholarship
with the Simon Fraser University
Clan football program, which will
see him studying free of charge
on Burnaby Mountain for the next
four years while playing in NCAA
Division Two.
It’s a rare opportunity for a kid
from Pitt Meadows, and no one
knows this better than Duckhorn
himself.
“It’s humbling,” he says of the op-
portunity. “I really want to make
the most of it.”
Duckhorn says he plans to be-
come a doctor someday, and will
likely study pre-med at SFU. It’s
not the typical career choice for
a scholarship football player, but
then he is hardly a typical football
player.
“I want to be able to help people,”
Duckhorn says. “I think it helps
take away from the image of the
big, dumb jock, too, and that’s a
good thing.
“The time of the dumb athlete is
over.”
He has had his struggles with
grades, he admits, but the lessons
of focus and hard work he’s learned
on the field have helped him in the
classroom.
Betting against Duckhorn is ill-
advised, however. He has a con-
sistent habit of making those who
www.mapleridgenews.com - THE NEWS -- Friday, February 11, 2011 -- 41
doubt him eat crow.
Since the age of 10, Duckhorn
has known that he would be a foot-
ball player. However, it took time
to convince some of those around
him.
“A lot of people told me I wasn’t
good enough,” he said. “Friends,
coaches, even some family.
“But that just motivated me.”
In 2009, Duckhorn was cut from
the B.C. all-star team despite be-
ing one of the top tacklers in the
province. He felt the decision was
unfair, and he vowed to make the
selectors realize their mistake in
2010.
He did just that with a stunning
2010 season that saw him named
to the B.C. AA all-star team at line-
backer.
Duckhorn said his scholarship is
a testament to his teammates on
Marauders as much as it is a prod-
uct of his own abilities.
“I wouldn’t have this without
them,” he says. “By me going [to
SFU], I feel like I’m bringing the
whole team with me.”
Duckhorn credits much of his
success to the four years he spent
with the Marauders.
Duckhorn remembers one prac-
tice where head coach Dave Hol-
leran, a former receiver with the
Notre Dame Fighting Irish, was
riding him pretty hard. Holleran
eventually dragged him off the
field, and Duckhorn asked him
why he was being singled out.
“A lot of people told me I
wasn’t good enough... But
that just motivated me.”
Martin Duckhorn,
Pitt Meadows Marauders linebacker
“He said I was one of two guys on
the team that were good enough
to play college football, so don’t
[screw] it up,” Duckhorn said.
“That was the first time it was re-
ally apparent that I had a chance.”
The other player Holleran re-
ferred to was Malcolm Williams,
who recently signed a basketball
scholarship to play for the UBC
Thunderbirds.
While Williams won’t be continu-
ing his football career, it won’t be

for lack of ability.
“I’ve been standing in his shadow
since I was 10 years old,” Duckhorn
says. “I thank him for that. He re-
ally pushed me, and that healthy
competition helped me be a better
player.
“I think it helped both of us.”
The support hasn’t ended at the
sidelines, however, and Duck-
horn’s family has played a pivotal
role in his football career thus far.
His mom, Suellen Larsen, was the
team’s medic, while his step-dad,
Victor Larsen, is the team’s unof-
ficial photographer.
“He’s come to every game I’ve
played, he took me to the hospital
when I was hurt, he helped put
together my scholarship pack-
ages together,” Duckhorn says.
“He man not be my biological dad,
but he’s my dad. He’s always been
there for me.”
His sisters Kori, Lacey, and Jen-
nifer, meanwhile, have been his
biggest cheerleaders, while his
brother Andrew may be his big-
gest fan.
“When you look at the number
of people who get the opportunity
to play NCAA football, it’s a pretty
small group,” he says. “It’s hard
not to feel humbled by that.”

5 IN MEMORIAM
Cecil R. Bowman
June 3, 1924 ~ Feb 15, 2006
Just a thought of
sweet remembrance,
Just a memory
sad and true,
Just the love and
sweet devotion,
Of one who thinks of you.
It’s been 5 years
Your loving wife
Shirley and Family
Laura Caldovino
Our beautiful angel in the sky
June 23, 1980 ~ Feb. 14, 2010
For many of us we find it hard
to believe 1 year has passed.
We’ve celebrated many
holidays, birthdays and a new
baby but even though we felt
you near and in our hearts
these special days will never
be the same without you.
There isn’t a day that goes by
that we don’t think about you.
There are still many tears and
heartbreak but our memories
of you still live on and
somehow you manage to put a
smile on our faces. You
were a fighter, a woman of
great courage strength and
determination. You showed us
all what never giving up truly
means. Now your looking
down at us and I hope we can
make you as proud as you
made us. We miss you so
much. You will be forever
loved and remembered.
From the words of
your little man:
“My mom is everywhere,
from the flashlight in the
sky to the snowflakes
floating by”
You may be gone
but never forgotten.
Love your family
Come gather and remember
Laura on her 1 year anniver-
sary at Foxs Reach Pub on
Sun. Feb. 13 at 4pm.

tling cancer which was diag-
nosed 1 year ago and also
struggling with a debilitating in-

in late 2009. There is not
enough thanks to express to

many friends who have been
supportive, encouraging and
caring in so many ways. Spe-
cifically, Alice, Ken & Sandi,

Ana, Carmen & Buckley. No

In lieu of flowers, contributions
