Vandalism prevention device is causing buzz

Cows attacked by pit bulls Bylaws hasn’t decided if dogs will be destroyed

by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter David Payne compares the scene to a clip straight out of National Geographic.

Two pit bulls latched onto the neck of a Shorthorn Heifer, snarling, barking, covered in blood.

“They were locked on like a vise. Like two lions taking down a wildebeest,” says Payne, who saw the attack begin while in his backyard off Lougheed Highway, near the Ramada Inn, on Tuesday around 5:30 p.m.

“They were just crazy. I think if it wasn’t for me, the cows would have been dead.”

Contributed

The cows ran across the highway and into a subdivision to escape.

Payne can’t say what made him turn to look down the driveway, past a fenced-up historical house, to the paddock where the cow and young bull had been grazing.

“Maybe they mooed ... at first, I thought it was coyotes hanging off the calves’ necks.”

Armed with a golf putter, Payne rushed at the dogs, who refused to release the cow, even after several whacks with the club.

The young bull could do little to protect his mate.

The dogs continued to attack the heifers even after Payne sought the help of his neighbours, whose son rushed in to help armed with a shotgun.

Payne estimates the dogs stalked and attacked the cows for 20 minutes until they broke through a fence and ran onto Lougheed Hwy. – the pit bulls in pursuit.

Waving his putter, Payne and the neighbour’s son gave chase.

They ran along the busy highway, as the cows dodged cars and fled up Park Road into the Somerset subdivision.

“People were yelling at us

to leave the dogs alone,” says Payne, admitting the scene must have been rather weird to rushhour commuters.

“They didn’t notice the cows being chased.”

The female pit bull got hit by a car on the highway, but the male continued to hound the cows until they reached a cul-de-sac and darted to the safety of a backyard.

“Once they were in the backyard, I could talk to them, keep them calm,” says Payne, who had managed to flag down a pickup truck for a ride and followed the cows into Somerset.

The cow had an eight-inch gash on its snout, a torn ear and bites on its neck. The bull, too, was covered in blood and had gashes on his torso.

The B.C. Civil Liberties Association wants school boards to remove Mosquito noise devices installed to keep vandals off school property.

The Mosquito Ultrasonic Teen Repellent system emits a constant high-pitched frequency that is generally not audible to adults, but annoying to teenagers and children.

The association has written to the Vancouver School Board, asking for a ban of the anti-vandalism devices and intends to send letters expressing similar concerns, to school districts across the province that use the Mosquito.

SD 42 was one of the first school districts in B.C. to install the Mosquito five years ago at the former Riverside elementary.

An inspiration without the ‘I’ S tor y by Rober t Mangelsdor f

I

f there’s anything that makes Nathan Bragg cringe, it’s what he calls, “The ‘I’ Word.”

“Inspirational,” he says, rolling his eyes. “It’s the one word I can’t stand.”

By any metric, Bragg is an exceptional human being. Thanks to his 92 per cent average in his Grade 12 classes at Maple Ridge Secondary School, he recently landed a $12,000 scholarship to attend Carleton University’s journalism program this September.

His athletic accomplishments are long, having made the roster for two provincial sports teams, and competing in the Canada Winter Games last year in Halifax.

But Bragg doesn’t see himself as inspirational, though others certainly do. He’s just another 18-year-old kid, trying to find his way, and doing the best he can.

He just happens to be in a wheelchair.

“There’s a lot more to me than my wheelchair,” he says. “I don’t focus on what I can’t do. Neither should anyone else.”

“I don’t focus on what I can’t do. Neither should anyone else.”

Nathan Bragg

Bragg was born with cerebral palsy, and though he suffers no mental impediment, he struggles to control his limbs and his movements are spastic. While he can walk for short distances with some difficulty, much of his life is spent in the seat of his wheelchair.

Bragg was chosen to take part in the Rick Hansen Man in Motion 25th Anniversary Relay this Wednesday as the medal bearer representing Maple Ridge when the relay rolls through town. For Bragg, it’s both an honour and surprise to be taking part.

“To be honoured as a difference maker is great, but to be honest I don’t feel I’ve done that much,” he says.

Many would disagree with him.

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

There’s a lot more to Nathan Bragg than his wheelchair.

After attending the B.C. Easter Seals Camps since he was six years old, Bragg became an official ambassador for the charity in 2009. Last year, Bragg raised more than $1,300 at the annual Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay, allowing 11 campers to have the opportunity to go to camp.

Bragg also help found the Langley Gold Rush wheelchair basketball team, which he currently coaches.

For Bragg, it was Rick Hansen himself who helped show him that just because he was in a wheelchair, it didn’t mean he couldn’t do great things.

“He showed the world that,” he says. “He’s been so important to so many peoples lives.”

And like Hansen, Bragg is an athlete.

He was introduced to the sport of wheelchair basketball in the sixth grade after a demonstration at his elementary school, and by 2008, was playing for the B.C. junior team. In 2010, Bragg

was named the B.C. Wheelchair Basketball Society Junior Athlete of the Year.

“I was never the fastest player on the court, but I always knew where I had to be,” he says.

Due to mobility issues in his arms, Bragg has difficulty shooting the ball. But Bragg soon discovered the sport of wheelchair rugby, which he says is better suited to his abilities. He fell in love with the sport after watching the 2005 documentary Murderball, which chronicles the rivalry between the Canadian and American wheelchair rugby teams ahead of the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens, Greece.

“I knew about it before I saw the movie, but seeing that made we want to play,” he says.

The sport requires less fine motor skills that wheelchair basketball, and a lot more aggression, something Bragg appreciates.

Life in a wheelchair can be

fraught with frustration, and when Bragg first entered high school, those frustrations got the better of him at times.

“I was an angry kid,” he admits. “Kids can be cruel, and sometimes I overreacted.”

Wheelchair rugby gave him a constructive outlet for his aggression, he says.

That aggression is apparent on Bragg’s aluminum rugby wheelchair, which is so beaten and battered, it looks as though it might fall to pieces the next hit it takes.

The chair is built out of spare parts and a secondhand frame jerry-rigged together with the help of his dad, John.

Bragg is hoping to build a new $5,000 custom rugby wheelchair with the help of a $2,700 grant from the Challenged Athletes Foundation.

“I’m a little guy, but when I get in that chair and when I get on the court, that feeling disappears,” he says.

25% ValleyFair Mall 227th & Lougheed Hwy. 604-467-6012 *Some restrictions apply. No other discounts or coupons.

Valid on incoming orders only. Sale expires May 31/12

Bragg made the B.C. men’s rugby team this year and was the youngest player at nationals, where the team finished fourth.

His next goal: Playing for Canada at the Paralympic Games.

While he says his condition doesn’t define him, he doesn’t deny that it is a huge part of his identity.

“It’s an integral part of who I am, for better or worse,” he says. “But I don’t see it as a limitation, it’s just a part of life.”

There’s no benefit in feeling sorry for yourself, he says. Just focus on what you can do, not what you can’t.

Car Care School employers challenge extracurricular ban with Cyril Barry

BEWARE OF THE WHITE BOXES The automotive repair industry, like all industries, is price driven by an ever expanding customer base that ignores quality and long term benefits for the sake of getting the best price. Ignoring the old adage “you get what you pay for” by sacrificing long term durability, which has a direct relation to safety, for the short term gain of getting a lower priced part.

White boxes refer to automotive parts, usually imported from a third world county, that look and feel, to the untrained eye, like they are of the same quality as domestic produced parts. White boxed parts may also be referred to as offshore, second line or knock off parts, but make no mistake about them as they are not the same as domestic parts.

Domestic parts refer to North American produced parts, OEM quality, and first line products which are the most expensive of all your choices.

The counterman at your local auto parts store may tell you “his or her” facts supporting the theory that there isn’t much difference between white boxed parts and domestic parts. This is not the case. Rather, it is the same lack of knowledge that legitimizes the use of these parts, in an effort to make a sale.

White boxed parts are a reasonable copy of the original parts but they are of substandard quality when compared to domestic or first line parts.

Regardless of what quality of parts your auto service provider installs in your vehicle the labour portion of your invoice remains the same. Domestic parts will usually last longer and provide superior service during their lifespan. Keep in mind that white boxed parts will not usually last as long as their domestic cousins so be prepared to be doing the same repair sooner.

When shopping you need to ascertain just exactly what type of parts you’re being quoted on, especially concerning brakes and front end components. I lose track of how many people we try to explain this to in an average week in our shop. It’s very frustrating when we try to explain to people the difference between good and off shore parts. We know full well they either don’t believe us, or are not the least bit interested in quality as they are conditioned to shop by price only.

A bit of advice here people for those of you that are price shoppers, automotive repair is not like buying a fridge or microwave. Automotive repair involves training, equipment, experience, parts and physical labour coupled with intelligent choices. Those choices are made by human beings, and the first one in the chain of command is you. You the consumer need to change your thinking and start paying attention to details, like what type of parts are being installed on your vehicle... and who is installing them.... It’s your choice!

File application with Labour Relations Board

by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter Teachers may be allowed to go back to coaching and volunteering for school events if a legal challenge by the province is successful.

The B.C. Public School Employers Association, the provincial government’s bargaining agent in its long-running contract dispute with B.C. teachers, is seeking to end the ban on extracurricular activities by filing an application

on Wednesday with the B.C. Labour Relations Board to declare the job action illegal.

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation voted 73 per cent in favour of withdrawing extracurricular volunteering last month after the Liberal government passed back-to-work legislation in March, ending teachers’ strike action, and imposing a cooling off period until the end of June while a government-appointed mediator works to settle the dispute.

According to a statement issued by BCPSEA, the organization “is trying to ensure that during the cooling-off period, during which strikes are not permitted, school districts

can continue to offer students and parents the services to which they are entitled.”

Maple Ridge Teachers’ Association president George Serra said the move is yet another by the provincial government to take away teachers’ rights and prevent them from fairly negotiating a new contract.

“It leaves me rather speechless,” said Serra. “They are taking away every avenue we have to organize. They are taking away the voice of teachers, period.”

It’s a tactic that will ultimately backfire, he contends.

“Even if they win, they lose,” Serra said. “Do they really

think teachers are going to be encouraged to volunteer their free time after being treated like this?”

Serra said he expects the Labour Relations Board hearing to take place early next week, with a ruling possible by late next week.

Should BCPSEA be successful in its bid, Serra said teachers will have to revaluate their options, but said an illegal strike is still on the table.

“There comes a point where this becomes so outrageous and so silly, we may not have any other choice,” he said.

“It’s been an easy sell for us that this government is going after teachers.”

There are jobs, and empty spaces Unemployment rate at 7 per cent

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

T

he lineup of people trying for the few positions available when Extra Foods reopens on 224th Street and Dewdney Trunk Road snaked around the parking lot last Saturday.

And according to Thrifty Foods, there are daily job inquiries for its new location, expected to open some time this summer in Haney Place Mall.

But grey best describes the story about the local economy, with both good and bad stories.

Based on Statistics Canada figures, Maple Ridge and the rest of Metro Vancouver isn’t a bad place to be looking for work. Seasonally adjusted figures for the area show a jobless rate of 6.6 per cent in March.

According to WorkBC, it’s a bit higher, at 7.1 per cent (http://www. workbc.ca/Statistics/Regional-Profiles/Pages/ Regional-Profiles.aspx).

Jim Coulter/THE NEWS

People lined up around the building to apply for jobs at Extra Foods last weekend.

Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin said the lineups for the jobs in food stores could be people seeking entry-level positions or a result of seasonal change. He remembers decades ago having to do the same thing.

It’s also a mixed story in the retail sector as stores and restaurants open and close.

For instance, the Sea Shanty Fish and Chips restaurant on Dewdney Trunk Road closed a few weeks ago, creating two store vacancies after the earlier closure of Haney

CLOSING

Deli and Bistro.

More empty spaces are showing up a few doors down on Dewdney Trunk Road, as well as on 224th Street, the focus of millions of dollars of street rebuilding by the District of Maple Ridge.

In real estate, “For lease” signs are popping up with landlords trying to find tenants, while businesses who want to move to Maple Ridge can’t find the right location.

There is long-term interest in Maple Ridge, says realtor Adrian

Keenan.

But it’s difficult to match tenants with proper spaces.

Many Maple Ridge properties just don’t look that great.

“Tenants are looking for high to higher-quality spaces,” he said.

“They like the newer spaces with the amenities,” and they’ll pay higher leasing rates for that, he added.

Property taxes and finding enough room for people to park their vehicles complicates the issue.

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

Simple position U.S. President Barack Obama endorsed gay marriage on Wednesday.

Better late than never.

Canada legalized same-sex marriage in 2005.

Nine other countries – Argentina, Belgium, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, South Africa and Sweden – also allow it.

But it remains illegal in much of the world, and is not recognized by the U.S. government, yet.

Hopefully, Mr. Obama’s public stance will help change that, help encourage a move towards equality for all.

For him, though, he had little choice.

Changes in public opinion and culture have created a new reality – many, if not a majority no longer see any reason not to open marriage to people of the same sex. Courts support that.

And, politically, the gay community and progressive voters wanted action on marriage equality. He needs them as much as they need him.

The time had come.

So the debate heats up all over again.

Possibly, in the end, a consensus will be achieved.

The whole debate is about equal rights over the sanctity of a perceived holy institution.

Social conservatives and religious leaders, of course, condemned Mr. Obama’s decision.

But they are out of touch with reality.

Mr. Obama is the first sitting president to endorse same-sex marriage.

Stephen Harper has never done as much.

His party introduced a bill in 2006 to reinstate the traditional definition of marriage, but it was defeated.

That is not leadership.

Just think, a generation ago, legalizing same-sex marriage was as unthinkable as it is today to not recognize the rights of gays and lesbians.

Everyone deserves to be treated equally.

It’s a pretty simple position.

Lifestyle at root of health problems W

hen I first started working as a physician in the Canadian Arctic I felt overwhelmed by the sheer volume and complexity of health care problems among the Inuit.

Apart from the expected acute illnesses Health Care and injuries, I had Marco Terwiel never seen so many people with chronic diseases that were so poorly managed.

Chronic obstructive lung disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and mental diseases topped the list affecting many relatively young people.

That begged the question, why the vast difference between the south and the Arctic?

It didn’t take long to figure out that lifestyle was at the root of many problems the local population faced. The relatively few Inuit who managed to adhere to their traditional way of life were generally a lot healthier than those who obtained most of their food in the local store.

When I say “traditional way of life,” I mean the obtaining of most of their food from hunting and fishing and eating a large part of that bounty raw like they have done for centuries.

With the arrival of both the beneficial and the harmful aspects of our North

Q

uestion of the week:

American culture, the traditional way of life has become nearly impossible to pursue. Less than a century ago, most of the Inuit were nomads traveling in small groups following the caribou herds or hunting walrus, beluga, narwhal, seal. In wintertime, they lived in igloos, and in summer in tents made of caribou hides.

The population was relatively stable, since only the fittest did survive in that harsh environment.

Now they live in settlements of several hundred to up to 2,000 people. They have taxpayer-funded houses, schools, supermarkets and health care. The modern amenities have resulted in a population explosion and the disappearance of many of the amazing centuries-old traditions and skills they needed to stay alive.

On the other hand, our governments, politicians and bureaucrats alike, have failed to provide the Inuit with the education and skills to function in a modern society. The result is widespread unemployment, poverty, overcrowding, alcoholism and violence, all contributing to the many social and health care problems.

Since living off the land is no longer possible for most, and the total absence of roads in Nunavut, virtually all food has to be flown in. That means extremely high food costs for families. For example a loaf of brown bread will cost $1.49 in Winnipeg and $4.79 in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut. All other essentials are two or three times more expensive than we pay in the south.

The result is that at least one third

Should parking on residential streets in Maple Ridge require a permit?

Yes: 25% – No: 75% (62 votes)

of the Nunavut population lacks food security. Many children live in homes where many a day there is no food at all and they come to school mainly because there is a breakfast program. That may well be the only food they get all day, since there is no lunch program. No child can learn much with an empty stomach and therefore few will graduate, continuing the cycle of lack of education and poverty.

This appalling situation has resulted in Canada being the first wealthy nation to warrant a probe by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to food.

We are now joining Haiti, Ethiopia, Ghana and Uganda on the list of nations failing to look after our own.

We are the only G8 country without a nationally-funded school meal program – one effective way to ensure that food is accessible and adequate for a vulnerable and marginalized group.

Not just the Inuit, but Canada-wide there are an estimated two and a half million fellow citizens who are food insecure, a euphemism for inadequate nutrition. That is one out of every 12 Canadians.

There is mounting evidence that food insecurity forces eating poor quality food. That in turn brings with it with chronic disease, including Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and is associated with higher levels of depression, stress, anxiety, social isolation, eating disorders, impaired brain development and learning.

THE NEWS/letters A tale of woe about GE Bridge tolls EDITOR, THE NEWS:

When the Golden Ears Bridge first opened, I thought it was a blessing to have a connection to Langley, a fast and easy way to connect with the No. 1 Highway and make my way to Abbotsford to my school, the University of the Fraser Valley.

After a year of school, no bill was mailed or emailed to me, but I owed $2,500 just in toll fees.

Now, as a student, busy as can be, and stressed already, I get dumped with a heart-stopping bill. How is that fair?

I already have to take out loans to pay for my bare needs – food and shelter, not to mention the high cost of gas and driving to Abbotsford and back each week.

The only other option is for me to take the Mission way, which is an extra 30 kilometres. In the long run, I am saving money by going the long way. The extra gas costs about $4-$5 opposed to a $6 toll fee and the headache of dealing with 200th Street traffic.

I think the tolls should be taken away completely.

Our government is in huge amounts of debt and demanding toll money, to pay for the bridge.

But Maple Ridge residents had not say in it.

Now the government wants to toll the Port Mann Bridge?

Does the government have the right to take away our freedoms and do whatever it wants?

I feel so outraged, but also trapped. I have no choice.

That is not freedom. That is dictation. There should be a vote and the people should have a say in what they deem fair and affordable.

All that will happen is the rich will get richer and the poor, poorer. I am on the poor side, as a student, and I do not like my outcome.

I hope that my small opinion can make a difference and that maybe tolls will cease to exist – in a perfect world.

Street parking, 24 hours a day EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Lighten up over street parking (Letters, May 9).

Let me be the first in thanking M. Hanzik for letting us know that you don’t have a problem with parking in front of my house. That is very kind of you.

Also, it is very observant of you to notice that we have large driveways.

But what you have failed to notice is that the hospital and hospice are 24-hour facilities and the workers park on our streets 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

What you have also failed to mention is that on sunny days, family members and patients enjoy walking down our streets and have difficulty getting around due to the single-lane traffic created by staff parking.

I would like to landscape my front yard for those going by to enjoy, but 24-hour parking in front of my house doesn’t allow it.

I would like to add, no resident will have a problem if a visitor to the hospital or hospice parks on our street. That is not the issue.

Please don’t use the exercise line ‘at most a five-minute walk.’ Smoking a cigarette isn’t exercise.

Call it what it is, you don’t want to pay

Time to stand up for our environment

for parking. This is a workplace problem, not a municipal one.

Its my understanding is that employees can pay $35 a month for parking, so suck it up.

We would not be the only municipality with permit parking around certain facilities.

If you live in Pitt Meadows and you want to save money and exercise, maybe take the bus or ride a bike.

Deal with Fraser Health EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Lighten up over street parking (Letters, May 9).

First of all, let me say thank you for stepping forward and admitting to parking on our residential streets because you do not want to pay the excessive fees being charged by Impark.

But let me ask, are you the one who parks on a neighbour’s grass?

Are you one who parks up on the sidewalk?

Are you one of the many who park on either side of the street, thus narrowing the passage significantly to make the residents wonder how a fire truck would

EDITOR, THE NEWS:

In light of the federal government’s attempts to ram through the pipeline projects and brand anyone who opposes this a radical alarmist, I feel the need to speak up.

be able to respond to a fire?

Or how one of our many retired residents must get up in the middle of the night to get their motor home out of their driveway so that they may be able to head out the next morning?

Are you one who ignores the no parking within three metres of a driveway?

Do you know that most of these residents are at work between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.?

Are you one who does shift work and, thus, parks on the street on weekends too?

Yes, most of us residents have large driveways. We paid for that. We also paid and continue to pay to live in a residential area. Are you one of my future caregivers who I must wait for while you pull a U-turn at the end of your shift before I can make it to my own driveway, then gives me the dirty look as if I don’t belong on the street?

We have no problems with people coming to visit their loved ones. Most of them are gone within a few hours, and, yes, I agree that the cost of parking is outrageous. But that is something the hospital employees need to take up with Fraser Health, not the area residents.

Fallout over insecurity

our biggest event

ends soon

Health from p6 Little wonder health care professionals and facilities are kept extremely busy looking after the fall-out of food insecurity.

Moreover, food insecurity also affects families.

It is linked to lower levels of positive parent-child interactions, poorer infant feeding practices, poorer psychological health among children, and depression and suicidal tendencies in adolescents especially among the Inuit where suicide rate is 11 times more common than the national average.

“Moreover, food insecurity also affects families.”

2012

We are sending more of our agricultural production out of the country than ever before, quadrupling exports in the past 20 years.

And yet allowing inadequate nutrition for so many is a shame for a country that prides itself in providing good government.

What we need is a national food policy, making sure all people have access to adequate healthy nutrition, making food banks a thing of the past and enjoying a vastly healthier population with a sharply reduced demand for health care.

Jobs from p5 “Parking is a huge issue for so many people.”

But the other side is, many businesses are struggling. Keenan said businesses can pay between $10 and $20 per square foot for monthly leasing, while property taxes are half as much, ranging from $8 to $10 per square foot, paid for by the tenants.

And if a business wants to upgrade, the dollars add up.

Dean Haldin, owner of Roast Bistro Cafe and Bistro on Lougheed Highway and 225th Street said parking is important for small businesses, and if people can’t drive there, they’ll go elsewhere.

But Roast Bistro, in its fifth year, is doing fine, with annual growth of about 20 per cent. He expanded his premises about two years ago to about 2,200 sq. feet.

Haldin says it’s important to stay up to date and keep a fresh look in the restaurant business, but notes that rising gasoline prices are having an effect on people’s spending money.

“It cuts into, I’d say, at least a good dinner out, once a month for people.

For the former owner of the Sea Shanty on 223rd Street, however, more profound causes led to his decision to sell.

KevinHoosemanowned sold the restaurant five years ago, and that owner recently closed it.

For Hooseman, though, the numbers just made it impossible.

“When I first bought the restaurant 10 years ago, halibut was $7 a pound. When I sold it, halibut was over $12 a pound.”

Meanwhile, a 100-lb. sack of potatoes doubled in cost to $100.

“So your costs on fish and chips is high. The market just wouldn’t bear it.”

Traffic and transportation are issues for him, as well. Many Maple Ridge residents, some recent arrivals from other parts of the Lower Mainland, just leave town when they want to go to dinner or shop.

“The biggest problem in Maple Ridge is people just take the Haney Bypass and skip the whole darn town.”

Neither were people stopping on Dewdney Trunk Road near his restaurant.

“They’re just trying to get home,” he said.

Rally to preserve Community Living Sunday, 10 a.m., in Peace park

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter It’s not the first cut or the last cut that’s the deepest, but a series of non-monetary scaling back that’s bothering the B.C. Community Living Action Group. So it’s holding a series of rallies in B.C. Sunday, one of which is in Maple Ridge, in Memorial Peace Park at 11 a.m., to protest the cuts.

“Some of the things are not monetary that are happening,” says Verity Howarth, a speech pathologist.

For instance, there are no longer members of the Community Living B.C. board of directors who have family with developmental disabilities, she says.

As well, the use of IQ scores of 70 to determine those who receive benefits means some with disabilities don’t receive them.

CLBC drew attention last year after word that it was cutting funds to the supported work program and Ridge Mead-

ows Recycling Society depot as part of an attempted reorganization at Community Living B.C. recently told the recycling society it wasn’t renewing its contract and that the part-time jobs would end Sept. 30.

But that decision was reversed and the $270,000 in funding was restored for a year.

“We wanted to show support because the funding is only for one year,” added Howarth.

The Community Living Action Group also wants an external review of CLBC and an independent advocate for people with disabilities.

Howarth, an NDP supporter, signed on via Facebook to organize the day because the community “can afford an inclusive society.”

Maple Ridge councillors were invited, but can’t attend, though all were supportive, Howarth added.

MLA Marc Dalton and

MP Randy Kamp also were invited.

“Most of this rally is to say we’re still here,” added Bob Goos, who has a daughter with developmental delays.

He said there’s been no new programming in the last eight to 10 years, placing the burden on families once developmentally disabled teens graduate from school.

However, the government says it is making progress on its 12-point plan announced in January.

An inter-ministries team has been developing a plan to provide a long-term solution for individuals and their families.

The government also is giving an additional $179 million over the next three years to improve supports for people with developmental disabilities and their families, says a release.

Part of the new funding will be allocated to families with transition-

ing youth, providing a minimum of $2,800 annually for respite services, or an equivalent amount of money where another service is preferred.

About 750 families are eligible for this new minimum level of support, with additional funding and services available to young adults with higher needs.

CLBC is also increasing community inclusion supports, including employment-related services, for about 200 young adults as a direct result of increased funding.

CLBC recently distributed a call to action for the Community Action Employment Plan.

Thirty community facilitators will help lead consultations to strengthen employment supports for people with developmental disabilities in B.C. This will help CLBC to deliver on the recommendation to increase employment opportunities.

Notice of Public Hearing TAKE NOTICE THAT a Public Hearing will be held in the Council Chamber of the Municipal Hall, 11995 Haney Place, Maple Ridge, North-East corner entrance, at 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, May 15, 2012 to consider the following bylaw: 1) 2011-012-RZ MAPLE RIDGE ZONE AMENDING BYLAW NO. 6803-2011

Cows will be OK Attack from front They were picked up by their owner, who lives Maple Ridge.

“The cows are going to be OK,” says Pitt Meadows bylaw officer Leslie Elchuk.

The female pit bull who was hit by a car was taken to a vet in Langley. The male was turned in by his owner, a blueberry farmer who lives on Old Dewdney Trunk Road.

Elchuk said the dogs’ owner is co-operating with the investigation and has indicated he is willing to pay the vet bills.

Both pit bulls are currently impounded at a kennel in Port Coquitlam.

Elchuk, however, has yet to determine whether the dogs will be deemed “dangerous” or destroyed. She has to review witness statements and a police report before she decides.

“Just by what I’ve got and the photographs of the cows, I kind of think they are pretty vicious dogs,” Elchuk said.

“But I really need to be fair and look at everything. I just want to make sure I cover all the bases before I decide.”

Ending the stigma of mental illness Understanding triggers major step

or many struggling with mental illness, theirs is a fight that takes place within, leaving them to suffer in silence.

The stigma and shame often associated with mental illness prevents many from seeking the

treatment they need, along with the feelings of alienation mental disorders themselves can cause. Without help and treatment, many end up losing their fight with mental illness.

Statistics Canada reported more than 11,500 deaths associated with mental illness and behavioural issues last year, including close to 3,500 suicides.

In 2007, suicide was the second leading cause of death for men aged 15 to

34, and women aged 15 to 24.

Dozens of mental health advocates, health care workers, and mental illness sufferers gathered in downtown Maple Ridge Thursday for the Mental Health For All. The event was aimed to raise awareness about mental illness, and help reduce the stigma associated with it.

The term “mental illness” covers a wide spectrum of ailments, says registered nurse Judy

Russell, including depression and anxiety, schizophrenia, developmental disorders such as autism, and degenerative illnesses like Alzheimer’s.

Russell is the coordinator for the Maple Ridge Mental Health Centre, which gets more than 1,000 referrals every month. However, because mental illness is still perceived as a sign of weakness, many don’t seek the treatment they need.

“These people struggle with an illness, and need to be able to seek out help without feeling stigmatized,” said Russell.

The attitude that someone who is depressed or anxious “just needs to snap out of it,” is pervasive, and harmful.

“You would never say that to someone with cancer or a disability,” she said. “But people don’t take it as seriously as a physical illness, because mental illness is not so overt, it’s less tangible.”

Those who do seek help from mental health professionals often find positive results.

“People can get better, they can live a normal life,” she said.

A major step in living with mental illness is understanding what triggers psychosis, depression, or anxiety. Helping people avoid those triggers, and learn how to cope with them can make all the difference to some.

Diet and exercise can also play constructive roles.

“Depression does affect the chemicals in the brain,” said Russell. “It is an illness, it’s not in their imagination.”

Locally, suicide rates are 20 per cent lower than the national average, and Russell hopes that by changing the public’s perception of mental illness, more people will seek treatment and that rate will fall even further.

The Fraser North Health Services Area recorded a suicide rate of 7.8 per 100,000 people in 2011, compared with 8.8 province-wide, according to Statistic Canada.

Suicide rates have also been falling steadily across the country. In 2004, the national suicide rate was 11.3 per 100,000, but that number fell to 11.0 in 2007, and to 10.2 in 2011.

“We’ve come a long way to reduce the stigma, but we have a long way to go,” said Russell.

• The Maple Ridge Mental Health Centre is located at No. 500 22470 Dewdney Trunk Road, 604-476-7165.

A doctor’s referral is not needed.

GM youth centre reopens

by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter The indoor skate park at the Greg Moore Youth Centre will reopen Sunday, May 13 with a new look and new features thanks to an $18,000 upgrade.

The skate park has been shut since April while the skate park was renovated. The n ew - a n d - i m p r ove d skate park features a new quarter pipe-

style ramp running the length of the youth centre’s main activity area, and includes new rails and transitions.

The new design features more skate-able features, while allowing for other uses in the space, such as floor hockey games and concerts, said youth programmer Meghan MacMillan.

“It’s a permanent feature and it balanced with the other uses [of the youth centre],” she

said.

Teens who use the park had a say in how it was designed. The Greg Moore Youth Centre’s youth mentors and users worked with New Line Skateparks to design the skate park features, which replaced an aging, decade-old wooden half pipe, with the goal of creating something that would meet the needs of all styles and abilities of riders.

Mural new to park Youth from p13 “We worked really closely with New Line and took a lot of people’s ideas into consideration,” said Jesse Holland, a junior staff member at the youth centre.

“In the end we came up with a design that meets the needs of skaters and the youth centre.”

Also new to the skate park is a mural by Kris Kupskay of Blindfold Murals. It too was designed with input from teens at the youth centre.

The skate park’s grand opening takes place this Sunday, May 13 from 6 to 9:30 p.m. with a free skate and free hotdogs. Skateboarders aged 13 to 18 are invited to take part.

The youth centre will also be offering one-year Active Pass for the discounted rate of $30 for the entire year. The pass allows users unlimited use of the youth centre, including the rock-climbing wall and the skate park, as well as 20 per cent off special events and outings organized by the youth centre.

SD42 ‘no complaints about devices’ Mosquito from front “Do we live in a society where we condone the infliction of pain or discomfort as a means of social control?” asks Michael Vonn, policy director with the B.C. Civil Liberties Association.

“We would not allow teachers or other staff to inflict pain on a student who is breaking rules.

Should we let our technology do that?”

The devices have been found by the European Union to be a violation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, but have been approved

by Health Canada and do not violate municipal noise bylaws.

Championed as a “cost-effective” tool to keep vandals off school property, the company which manufactures the Mosquito claims that it is perfectly safe on the ears, even after long exposure.

The BCCLA, however, sees the device as “discriminatory” because it targets a set of people.

“We use the language of device here, but a device whose for which the purpose is to inflict pain is called a weapon,” says Vonn, who would like school districts to turn off ‘mosquitoes’ until there has been a proper discussion about alternatives to deter vandalism.

Vonn added the association is not minimizing concerns about vandalism and the complaints

from parents about broken bottles and hypodermic needles on school grounds.

“Our position is we don’t effectively deal with property crime through a human rights violation.”

After-hours vandalism costs the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District about $300,000 a year in direct costs and much more in indirect costs.

With two months left in the 2011-2012 school year, the district has recorded 585 incidents of vandalism, compared to 720 the previous year. The statistics show a steady decline from the 2007/08 school year, when vandalism peaked with 1,248 incidents reported.

Besides the former Riverside, the local school district has installed the Mosquito at Maple Ridge secondary, Thomas Haney secondary and Maple Ridge elementary.

The devices run on a timer and are automatically turned on at 10 p.m., then turned off at 6 a.m.

The district also has signs posted at all schools that clearly indicate no trespassing on school property between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.

School district communications manager Irena Pochop said before the Mosquito was installed, there was a public consultation process to ensure that the community understood what these devices were and

why they were being installed.

Besides the Mosquito, the district uses several other innovative security systems to keep people off school property, including a Tripwire system, which takes a high resolution photograph of trespassers when they cross an invisible laser and motion-sensitive sprinklers, which drench anyone who comes near the school with close to 20 litres of water per minute.

For now, the district has no plans on removing the Mosquito.

“We have received no complaints about these devices, which have been able to address some of the vandalism issues we were facing,” said Pochop.

The district parent advisory committee however intends to bring the concerns expressed by the BCCLA to the attention of the district superintendent at a meeting in June.

Committee chair Michelle La Rose said although there was consultation before the devices were installed, parents now have more questions.

“Some of my concerns would be how far outside the actual school grounds does the device emit. It is something we definitely need to get a grasp on,” added La Rose.

In case you missed Palmer Rolph Road O n the northeast slope of Thornhill, you may have noticed a road sign on the curve of the road where 112th Avenue turns Looking Back towards KaSheila Nickols naka Creek Hatchery and Webster’s Corners.

Who was Palmer Rolph, and why was a road named for him?

It is only a short distance away where another well known person, Louise Poole, has a horse trail named for her in memory of her active work with pony club and trail riding.

Rolph lived on a 120-acre farm he purchased in 1931, after years of working as a trusted farm manager for several local families and as a logger.

His grand-daughter, Val Lynch, has kept her mother Rosemary’s diary, photographs and family memories alive to share the family story.

Like many immigrants to Canada, Rolph was born in the British Isles, in his case Norfolk, England, in July of 1891, one of 12 living children. At 18, Rolph immigrated ďŹ rst to Alberta. He soon persuaded Louie de Brunner, a teacher he had known in

At Maple Place Palmer Rolph taking a bath at his farm on Thornhill.

Norfolk, to join him there. They were married, and soon had three children born within two years: a son Bernard, followed by twins, James and George.

The family moved to Victoria, then to South Pender Island and Saturna Island, where they farmed. He sent vegetables and sheep by boat to market in Victoria. Their daughter Rosemary was born at the closest hospital, Lady Minto Hospital in Ganges, Salt Spring Island, in January of 1918. She recalled that her mother Louie, an educated city girl, never made housekeeping her priority.

She always kept a broom by the door, so when visitors arrived unexpectedly she could begin sweeping and truthfully say she

was just starting to clean up.

Rolph moved his family yet again to Vancouver, but could not ďŹ nd work there. He saw an advertisement in the newspaper placed by the Trethewey family in Yennadon. The family occupied the upper oor of the old Trethewey farmhouse, while Rolph worked as their farm manager. During the next eight years, he also looked after various farms owned by the Wests, the Spinks and the Storeys.

After working so long for other people, Rolph wanted to own some property himself. He saved money by working for a while as a logger at the Abernethy & Lougheed Company in the north of Maple Ridge.

Spending Too Much on Gas? Who isn’t! Never has there been a time in our driving history where so much emphasis has been placed on the cost of operating a motor vehicle. We have always considered fuel as the most significant operating expense of owning a vehicle, and especially now, with the cost of gasoline now approaching $1.50 a litre.

We all know that number is probably not going to go down, at least to stay, so we are paying more attention to practices that will help reduce our fuel costs. The real question here is “what impacts actual fuel economy?” Drivers can save at the gas pump by implementing some proven driving habits, by properly maintaining their vehicle and paying attention to environmental conditions. These practices can increase the longevity of your vehicle, increase its resale value and ensure you are getting the most from a litre of gasoline. Some situations affecting fuel consumption are out of our control such as environmental conditions but we can be proactive and minimize their effect.

City Driving. Most of us drive “normally” by accelerating smoothly and maintain a steady speed. Accelerating hard and fast guzzles gas and wears out your engine and tires quicker. In city traffic a European test showed that “jackrabbit” starts from traffic lights and hard braking reduced travel time by only 4% and increased fuel consumption by 37%. And yes, we all know people who drive that way but we don’t, right?

Highway Driving. Accelerate smoothly when merging onto a highway or passing other vehicles. Use your cruise control, when equipped, when appropriate and avoid hard braking. Cruise control has been proven to increase fuel mileage and, remember, use cruise control only when safe to do so and only over 50 km/h. With most vehicles, increasing cruising speed to 120 km/h from 100 km/h will increase fuel consumption by about 20%. When driving in hilly areas it is more fuel efficient to let your speed drop going uphill and increase to the speed limit going downhill on the other side.

Here are a few other driving habits to

what’s in your

SALE

consider after the $$$ amount spent on your next fuel fill catches your attention.

Idling more than 60 seconds can use more fuel that turning off the engine and restarting it again and, remember that excessive engine idling is not good for the engine. The waiting in line-ups for the “drive-thru” convenience now available for most fast food providers adds to your fuel consumption.

Overusing your Air Conditioning system in summer will dramatically increase fuel consumption. The impact of aerodynamic drag is relatively small but roof racks and extra weight in your trunk can affect fuel economy.

Vehicle Maintenance. This “requirement” has always been very topical as most drivers’ have their own opinion about what is necessary to perform and when to do it.

This discussion comes up on a daily basis for a lot of us and my answer is always the same. If you change the fluids in your vehicle according to the manufacturers’ maintenance schedule and properly maintain your tires and brakes your vehicle will perform as it was intended and will provide mostly trouble free motoring.

The engine oil is the blood of the engine and performs many functions such removing dirt, metal shavings and other impurities and captures them in the oil filter. Of course, it lubricates all the moving parts inside your engine which promotes better fuel efficiency, longer engine life and less pollutants.

The fuel delivery system is an important component in maximizing fuel economy.

Over time residue such as carbon, gum and varnish build up in combustion chambers and valves, and the fuel injector nozzles. Having an EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) service every 80,000 km will help better combustion and allow the EFI to work more efficiently, improving performance and fuel economy.

Happy motoring to everyone.

The Rolphs

Look from p17 With money he earned as a bucker and taller, at the age of 40 he bought property on the northeast side of Thornhill.

The land already had a barn and some fruit trees, so they had to

build a farmhouse to live in. They had no indoor plumbing or electricity for several years.

To keep the family income up in those depression years, Palmer continued to log for the A & L Company, six days a week, while his wife Louie and daughter Rosemary helped look

after the sheep, horses, cows and other farm animals. His oldest son, Bernard, followed his father’s hard working example, going out to work as a whistle punk for A & L at the age of 14, while the 13-yearold twins, James and George, went to work for the Edge family in

Yennadon.

The Rolphs finally sold the 120-acre farm in 1954 to William and Evelyn Bean for $7,500.

Rolph died in 1979 at the age of 88. His family remembers why the road was named after him, and would like him to be remembered by all of us.

DRINKING WATER WEEK

Cycling coalition now HUB T

he Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition, or VACC, is now called HUB. It may take us a bit of getting used to, but I like it: HUB: Your Cycling Connection.

It is hoped that Cycling this new name Jackie Chow better reflects what we’re all about: HUB is a central organization for programming, advocacy and engagement across the entire Metro Vancouver region. We organized our first Discovery Bike Ride two weeks ago along the Central Valley Greenway

Here in BC we often take our tap water for granted, but it is a finite resource that we should value and protect.

MAY 13-19

We need to value our drinking water methods in your area.

We invite you to get involved and learn more about your water. Start by taking the Community Water Challenge and pledge to be water wise. By incorporating practical actions into our daily routines, we can make a difference.

Visit www.drinkingwaterweek.org to find out about Drinking Water Week events in your area, and to download activities and educational resources provided by BC Water & Waste Association.

Take the challenge and WIN!

Are you water wise? Take the Community Water Challenge and enter to win an exciting water-themed getaway courtesy of the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel and Helijet! It’s simple – just pledge to take one of the water wise actions below. Make your pledge at:

drinkingwaterweek.org/challenge Be Water Wise: N Limit your shower time to 5 minutes per day.

N Install a low-flow fixture or appliance.

Look for the WaterSense label on retail shelves across BC. N Return unused or expired medications to the pharmacy for proper disposal.

N Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, shaving and doing dishes.

N Dispose of household wastes such as cleaners, paints and grease responsibly, instead of putting them down your sink or toilet.

True and False: Test your water knowledge – take the quiz!

Did You Know?

1. British Columbians use more water than other Canadians.

T__ F__

2. Fats, oils and grease may be properly disposed of down drains or toilets.

T__ F__

3. The best way to achieve a healthy lawn is by watering lightly several times a week.

T__ F__

ANSWERS: 1.True: British Columbians use an average of 426 litres of water per day; the average Canadian uses 329 litres of water per day (nearly double what Europeans use!)* 2. False: Never put fats, oils or grease down the drain - when these substances enter our wastewater they can clog pipes and deplete oxygen in the aquatic environment. 3. False: Watering your lawn thoroughly once per week rather than lightly at a greater frequency will strengthen the roots and promote a greener, healthier lawn.

from Hume Park (at Braid Station) to the Year of the Bike Party in Vancouver to celebrate the official launch of our new name and look.

As a bonus we got to enjoy the cherry blossoms along the way.

We hope that lots of people will join us on our Discovery Bike Rides this year. Don’t worry: we’re not the fast and furious types. Our rides are intended for the majority of people who like to sit upright on their bikes so that they can enjoy their surroundings. We take our time, and we like to stop to chat, eat and drink, and check out interesting places.

Some rides will be in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, others may be elsewhere in the Metro Vancouver area. The next one is still to be announced.

N 26% of British Columbians have no idea where the water that flows from their tap comes from.* N The average Canadian uses 329 litres of water per day. However, the average Canadian thinks they only use 132 litres per day.* N We use up to 50% more water in the summertime when people are watering their lawns and gardens.** *2011 Canadian Water Attitudes Study, commissioned by RBC and Unilever Canada **BC Stats 2009

Cycling from p20 We had an awesome time with our Cycle Recycle at Earth Day in Maple Ridge. In the weeks before Earth Day we gathered 16 children’s and adults’ bikes – mostly through Ridge Meadows Recycling Depot – that were in good enough shape to give away. We did two draws and gave the bikes to 16 thrilled new owners.

One regret: I didn’t have time to enjoy everything else that was going on at the event.

That’ll be my goal for next year.

It’s deďŹ nitely up there on our HUB committee’s wish list, especially in the area east of the town core, as well as south of Dewdney Trunk Road. Cycling – whether recreational or utilitarian – is problematic, and having a trail all along the Fraser would be just awe-

There’s probably not much left to do for Pitt Meadows. The dike trails there and newly added Osprey Village are already attracting many tourists and locals. After the announcement a few weeks ago about new funding by the province of $1 million for the entire project, we’re still waiting to

hear from the District of Maple Ridge about its plans for Experience the Fraser. It won’t be easy. There are industries located right along the river, and previous councils and planners just haven’t had the foresight to secure the required land for recreational purposes.

Nevertheless, the longer we wait, the more difďŹ cult it becomes. •If you’re interested HUB’s Discover rides, send your e-mail address to jchow23708@ yahoo.ca.

MAPLE RIDGE • PITT MEADOWS

The art of the Japanese maple tree M

ost of us have a love-hate relationship with Acer palmatum – while we appreciate their beauty, many of us have tried growing them with disappointing results.

The most important thing that Japanese maples need is good soil drainage. If you Gardening don’t have this on your Mike Lascelle property, they can be grown quite successfully in raised beds (at least 45 centimetres above grade) or even in large containers, provided the soil mix drains well.

I prune my Japanese maples twice a year: in winter I remove all dead or damaged wood (because it’s easy to see); and in late spring when the leaves have fully opened, I lightly prune for growth reduction.

It’s important to purchase a maple that can grow to its mature size in your allotted space, rather than constantly having to hard prune it to size, which ruins the natural form.

These trees are not heavy feeders, so you can fertilize once a year in April or May using a balanced fertilizer (use a slow-release for container specimens). Depending on the cultivar, they prefer part to full sun, but they tend to languish in deep shade with poor branching and foliar colour.

The biggest problem is usually trying to pick just one, so with that in mind here are a few choice cultivars that can be found locally – just don’t expect to find them all in one garden centre.

• ‘Bloodgood’ (7.5-9 metres) – the standard

Mike Lascelle

(From left) Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’ and Acer palmatum ‘Samurai.’ upright red Japanese maple with deep burgundy foliage all summer long.

• ‘Trompenburg’ (6-7.5m) – an upright tree with claw-like leaves that emerge a glossy reddish-purple in spring.

• ‘Fireglow’ (3-3.5m) – very much like a shorter ‘Bloodgood,’ but with thinner leaves that really shine when backlit by the sun.

• ‘Waterfall’ (1.2-1.8m) – people often overlook the green weeping Japanese maples but this one turns orange and gold in the fall.

• ‘Sango Kaku’ (6m) – the Coral bark Maple

has long been cherished for its bright coralpink winter stems.

• ‘Seiryu’ (4.5m) –an upright tree with the finely cut leaves of a weeping maple that are green, turning gold in autumn.

• ‘Red Dragon’ (1-1.2m) – a classic red weeping Japanese maple with finely cut dark burgundy foliage well into summer.

• ‘Shishigashira’ (4.5m) – the Lion’s Head Maple has small currant-shaped green leaves that grow in dense tufts, like a bonsai.

• ‘Shaina’ (3m) – similar to ‘Shishigashira’

with its small, closely-packed foliage, but shorter in stature with red to deep purple leaves.

• ‘Koto-no-ito’ (3m) – spectacular green string-like leaf lobes that sway with the slightest breeze and turn gold in fall.

• ‘Orangeola’ (1-1.5m) – a weeping form with unusual reddish-orange spring foliage and fiery deep orange to crimson autumn tones.

• ‘Twombly’s Red Sentinel’ (3-4.5m) –a columnar form with bright crimson foliage that works well in smaller landscapes.

• ‘Samurai’ (3m) – the new leaves emerge an unusual yellowish-bronze (with pink tips) on this hard to find cultivar.

• ‘Orange Dream’ (3-3.5m) – a truly spectacular upright tree with new growth of peachy-orange that shifts to gold with reddish margins.

• ‘Butterfly’ (3m) –a delicate dwarf upright with small greenish-grey leaves variegated in white and shrimp pink.

• ‘Atropurpureum’ (8m) –an upright specimen with deeply lobed reddish-purple leaves that turn a fiery red in the fall.

• ‘Osakazuki’ (6-7.5m) –it may be a boring green all summer but the fire engine red autumn tones are hard to miss.

• ‘Katsura’ (4.5m) – a broad upright tree with eye-catching golden-orange spring growth which turns to a lime green by summer.

• I’ve uploaded a new story, The Orange that Reminds Me, to my blog at www.soulofagardener.wordpress.com and you can find more Japanese maples at www.mikesgardentop5plants.wordpress.com.

604-467-9300

Many of you already know me from my 8 years of selling advertising for The Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows News. After a combined 20 years of working in Sales for Black Press, and for The Globe and Mail in Toronto before that, I was ready for a change. When talking with good friends about my next steps, the path to HOME became quite clear. I am a nester. Now, as a proud agent with RE/MAX results realty, I am able to blend my sharpened sales skills with my love for home.

Community feel important when choosing a home

Feeling at home in a low-rise building When you’re looking for a home, feeling welcome in the community is often a big part of the puzzle. While high-rise architecture is popular, perhaps a low-rise development might be just what you’re looking for.

“People find comfort in the smaller scale,” says Andrew Emmerson of GBL Architects. “That’s not to say there won’t still be high-rises ... but (low-rises) feel more homey to some.”

One of the positive things about living in a smaller development is that you can more easily get to know your neighbours.

“You’re sharing amenities with 50 instead of 500,” Emmerson says. “Low-

rise buildings are more personable in that regard.”

That idea is being tested with Collection 45, an exclusive development that features 45 studio, one- and twobedroom suites on six floors in the Mount Pleasant area of Vancouver, with the bottom floor holding commercial space.

“It’s not your typical cookie-cutter development,” says Emmerson.

The neighbourhood is a blend of historic and modern, with restaurants, shopping and recreation all within walking distance.

For more information, visit collection45.com or call 604-569-1555.

lend an incredible sense of space and elegance to every home, while the bathrooms are made for relaxation.

His-and-hers sinks, glass shower stalls and hand-set tile flooring all combine to make for what really is the perfect bathroom.

They also include some special features that are sure to impress, such as a powder room on the main floor and two parking spaces with every home.

“Many of our buyers have been asking for a bathroom on the main level,” says Kasahara. “We were able to achieve that in all of these floorplans,

and expect it to be a huge selling feature here at Bishop Creek.”

The private garages on every home feature a bonus room off of them, which Kasahara says can be used as extra storage space or a media room.

“We call it the ‘Man Cave’,” he says, adding that it’s “the perfect space for a big-screen TV, couch and bar fridge.”

The townhomes are built in a Craftsman style, with wood and brick accents and plenty of outdoor space, including private decks and patios.

The development itself includes a landscaped park with a playground, and is bordered by the Bishop Creek itself and Harold Bishop Elementary School. The location also offers easy access to Highway 1.

The sales centre will open this summer, and buyers will be able to take possession before the next school year starts.

Homes at Bishop Creek start in the mid $300,000s. For more information, visit www.bluetreehomes.ca or call 604588-0005.

‘An exceptional home-buying experience’

Finding the perfect home easy at Bishop Creek

by Kerry Vital

Bluetree Homes prides itself on being “your friendly neighbourhood builder,” and with their newest development, Bluetree Homes at Bishop Creek, they’re continuing to create a reputation for beautiful homes suitable for any homeowner.

“We don’t just build homes; we promise to build your trust, answer your questions and make buying your home relaxed and stress-free,” says Bluetree general manager of sales and marketing Yosh Kasahara. “We aim to deliver an exceptional home-buying experience, from start to finish, and provide the outstanding homeowner care that our company is so well-known for.”

Lead by ParkLane Homes’ Chief Operating Officer Ben Taddei, Bluetree is aiming to set the standard for great home-buying experiences. ParkLane

has over 30 years of experience in the home-building market, and was recently the recipient of eight 2012 Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Ovation Awards for excellence in new home design.

The 56 townhomes at Bishop Creek come in a variety of two- and threebedroom floorplans, ranging from 1,528 to 1,709 square feet. Located just minutes from Guildford Town Centre, homeowners are able to live in a quiet family-friendly neighbourhood while still being close to everyday amenities.

Surrounded by parkland, the homes at Bishop Creek are full of the beautiful amenities that Bluetree is known for, including stone countertops complemented by a hand-set tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances and shaker-style wood cabinetry with brushed nickel hardware in the kitchen.

When do you want holiday?

Canadians are living longer and costs for the Old Age Security (OAS) are rising.

On April 1, 2023 the Government of Canada plans to start raising the age of eligibility for OAS and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) from 65 to 67.*

What does this mean for you?

54 or older as of March 31, 2012

You may still obtain OAS/GIS at age 65

53 or younger as of March 31, 2012

The age of eligibility for OAS/GIS will change gradually between 2023 and 2029

Starting in July 2013, Canadians who are eligible for, but not yet receiving OAS will have the flexibility to delay receiving it in exchange for a higher monthly amount at a later date.

The number of working-age Canadians for every senior is decreasing** 6 5

The number of working-age Canadians per senior is decreasing, placing additional pressure on the OAS program.

The province wants to know, which day you’d like for the winter break, Family Day. While other provinces have long had a long-weekend in February, B.C. will have its first next year and the Ministry of Labour, Citizens’ Services and Open Government wants to know which weekend works best.

By having Family Day on the third Monday in February, B.C. will share the same day with five other Canadian provinces, and with President’s Day in the U.S. Family Day is celebrated in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario on the third Monday in February.

Manitoba and P.E.I. also have statutory holidays on that day, but they are not officially named Family Day. By having it on the second Monday, British Columbians will be able to enjoy the day without other long-weekend traffic.

Families have the greatest influence on children’s development and designating a day in their honour validates moms, dads and all those raising kids across B.C., said Lana Denoni, chair, Tourism Industry Association of B.C. Having a Family Day where people vacation close to home also will help the local recreation and economy, Stuart McLaughlin, chair, Minister’s Council on Tourism and president, Grouse Mountain Resorts.

Honour mom, and God, too

By Brad Warner

I think the core reason why we generally ďŹ nd it easy to honour our mom is that she loves us in a way no one else does.

In Isaiah 49:15 [NLT] in the Bible, God says this about those he has adopted into his family: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you.â&#x20AC;?

We may have heard a story or even know a mother who has abandoned her baby. Yet the contrast is that if God has adopted you, he will never abandon you.

His love endures and is inďŹ nitely better than even the best motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love.

We honour our mother because she loves us. And that is right and good. I encourage you to do that, if you are still able. Honour your mom throughout the year, not just on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. But I also think that, for the very same reasons, honouring God makes sense, too.

I

grew up in a fairly normal home.

Probably most of us think that, even those whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown up in homes ones characterized a dysfunctional.

Nevertheless, my mom and my dad created a healthy environment of both boundaries and freedom for my two sisters and me. I love my mom, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty sure that she loves me.

Hannah Whitall Smith writes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be a mother is the greatest vocation in the world. No being has a position of such great power and inďŹ&#x201A;uence. She holds in her hands the destiny of nations, for to her is necessarily committed the making of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s citizens.â&#x20AC;?

I agree. Mom can set the temperature of the home in a way no one else can.

Study after study shows that, statistically, the most inďŹ&#x201A;uential person in the family is mom.

Moms start by feeding us, then they clean us, clean up after us, they sacriďŹ ce for us, teach us, care for us, they help us and are there for us.

Yorke lone local at U-17 B.C. Cup staff reporter Maple Ridge’s Dalton Yorke will be the lone Maple Ridge representative at the U-17 B.C. Cup this weekend in Salmon Arm. A defenceman for the Vancouver North East Chiefs of the B.C. Major Midget League, six-foot-one Yorke had 13 points in 40 games this past season.

He is among just 36 blueliners from around the province invited to the U-17 B.C. Cup this weekend, the first step in the Team Pacific U-17 tryout process.

Last year, Yorke was the only local player invited to the U-16 B.C. Cup, and was later invited to the U-16 provincial camp.

Thunder take Newton tourney The Ridge Meadows Triple AAA Thunder girls’ softball team was victorious at the Newton Minor Softball Association’s peewee baseball tournament last weekend.

The Triple AAA Thunder was undefeated at the tourney, opening with a 9-1 win over Chilliwack before beating Newton 9-2.

In the final round robin game, Ridge Meadows beat New Westminster 9-4, setting up a tournament final rematch between the two teams.

The Triple AAA Thunder had no problems with New West the second time around, winning 11-2 in a four-inning mercy game.

Team members include Chelsey and Cydney Turner, Amy Hill, Carmen Partridge, Jamie Robinson, Kale’a Gjaltema, Cassidy Corbett, Megan Aird, Mackenzie Emerson, Alex Healy, Codie Wright and Jessica Foulds.

Maple Ridge’s DeNure wins gold Former Meadow Ridge Barracuda and Ridge Meadows minor hockey product Justine DeNure won gold at the Western Canadian Shield Senior Women’s Hockey Championship in Regina last month.

Goalie DeNure and her Saskatchewan Wheat Queens won four straight games at provincials to advance, with DeNure allowing only one goal in her two games played.

At the Western Championships, the Wheat Queens notched four wins and a tie to take the senior A women’s title, with DeNure backstopping the team in their 4-3 double overtime win over the Alberta Coyotes.

DeNure, 20, is attending the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, and was the youngest recruit on a team made up of mostly Regina-based university graduates. sports@mapleridgenews.com

Local brothers win bowling gold

by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter Maple Ridge brothers Tyler and Aaron Ford both won gold as part of Team B.C.’s four-person five-pin bowling team at the Youth Bowling Canada National Championships last weekend in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

Tyler, 18, and Aaron, 16, averaged 247.79 and 237.57, respectively, over 14 games at the tournament.

The two Thomas Haney secondary students bowl out of Port Coquitlam Bowl, along with teammates Aaron Bukala and Cody Didyk.

The B.C. foursome won 11 of the 14 headto-head team matches they played, edging

Team Quebec by a single match point in the senior boys’ team competition.

Tyler carded a high score of 308, while younger brother Aaron bowled a teamhigh 334.

Bowling is in the Ford brothers’ blood, says their dad, who introduced them to the sport at the age of four.

“I was a five-pin bowler and they took to it like a fish to water,” says Al Ford. “They started off bumper bowling when they were young, and they’ve never stopped.”

The sport has proven lucrative for Tyler, at least. After winning an adult-level tournament in Surrey last year, he was able to buy himself a car with his $4,000 prize.

Tyler and Aaron’s nine-year-old brother Casten is also an avid bowler, and will be competing in the 10-pin 2012 National

Youth Championships in Quebec City in the bantam division.

Like his two big brothers, Casten started out on five-pin, but switched to 10-pin just a year ago.

“He’s a natural, that one,” says Al. All three brothers are previous provincial champions, with Tyler winning bronze at nationals in 2010, and Aaron winning bronze as well, in 2009.

Tyler currently averages 255, while Aaron averages 215. Little brother Casten holds down a 135 average in ten-pin.

Also competing at the national championships last weekend was Maple Ridge’s Kylie Herman, who placed sixth in the fivepin junior singles competition, averaging 187.82. sports@mapleridgenews.com

Eagle Classic track and field meet returns to MRSS staff reporter The seventh annual Eagle Classic Track and Field Meet returns to Maple Ridge secondary this Saturday.

The annual event is organized by Golden Ears Athlet-

ics and will include events in sprints, distance, jumps, and throws, with a few events being offered for adult competitors. The historic mile will again be the feature distance race.

With many high school track

and field programs on hiatus due to ongoing teacher job action, the local meet will be the only opportunity for many local youngsters to compete in a tournament this season, says organizer Alana Wadhwani.

The meet features events

for athletes as young as nine years old, right up to adults for the All Comers Mile Race.

The meet is scheduled to run from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. this Saturday, May 12.

Make your warm-ups and stretches dynamic

by Kerr y S enchyna contributor

R

ecently I wrote about the different methods of stretching: static, ballistic, and dynamic.

Of the many important differences was when to perform each type of stretching since this still seems confusing to some athletes, parents and coaches.

We still see athletes doing a very short, light warm-up, followed by static stretching before the game or practise. But this is not the best way to prepare the athlete physically or mentally.

A better approach would be to perform a dynamic stretching session in the warm-up.

Dynamic stretching in warmups have been used by track and ďŹ eld athletes for years, but have not widely been practiced within other sports. But now all good strength and conditioning coaches have adopted these methods and are using them at the university and professional

levels.

One big beneďŹ t with a dynamic warm-up is that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take any more time than the more traditional stretching method, but is much more beneďŹ cial for the muscles and it prepares your nervous system for the demands of the sport.

The speciďŹ c advantages of a dynamic warm-up, by comparison with the more traditional sit-and-stretch routine, are many. It involves continuous movement, which maintains warmth in your body and muscles and prepares the muscles and joints in a more sport speciďŹ c manner than static stretching.

One of the biggest beneďŹ ts is that it warms up your nervous system, which enhances coordination and motor ability.

The nervous system can also fatigue, just like muscles, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why near the end of a game players miss easy shots, they slow down, coordination begins to fail, and sometimes this is when injuries happen.

You should begin your session with a general cardiovascular warm-up lasting ďŹ ve to 10 minutes or until you have broken a light sweat. This can be done by light jogging, skipping, jump rope or even performing different footwork patterns in a speed ladder. Skipping is also great because it continues heating the body while helping to prime the nervous system.

There are also various additional drills athletes can perform: lunge walking, walking knee hugs, ankle pops, high knee runs with arm swings, backward running, various forms of lateral slides, and even push-ups will help prepare the upper body muscles.

It is very important to note the athlete should not use jerky, forced movements to try to increase the range of motion beyond what is comfortable as it can cause injury.

OBITUARIES

Flora May Sharpe (nee Leslie ) Born October 26, 1921 Flora passed peacefully the morning of May 2, 2012 at the age of 90.

She was born in Prince Rupert where she resided with her family until they relocated to Vancouver when she was 20. While in Vancouver she worked for Mac and Mc and was a member of the Glengarry Girls Pipe Band. She married Theodore ( Ted ) Leland Sharpe a long time resident of Pitt Meadows on April 25, 1947. They moved into their home near the corner of Harris Rd and Lougheed Hwy upon their return from their honeymoon and resided at that location for almost 60 years.

Flora was pre-deceased by her husband of 57 years on June 6, 2004.

She was also pre-deceased by her son, Robert Sharpe ( October 21, 2010 ), her brother, Robert Leslie and her sister, Helen Hamblin. She is survived by her brother, John Leslie, her son, Lindsay Theodore Sharpe and her daughters, Laurie Morley ( Walter ) and Leslie Holtby ( Tom ), her grandchildren, Danika Holtby, Brenna Ewing ( Todd ), Leland Holtby ( Lara), Alanna Naslund ( Jarek ) and Scott Morley ( Alana ) her great grandchildren, Ashlin, Holten, Delaney, Carson, Olivia, Audrey, Rowan and her daughter-in-law, Louise Anderson.

Although Flora was brought up in Prince Rupert, the family relocated to Quebec on two occasions in order for her father to seek work and provide support to his extended family. Flora loved the ocean and was pleased to move to Vancouver. While employed with Mac and Mc she met her future sister- in- law, Doris. Flora spent many weekends at the Sharpe family farm in Pitt Meadows with her sister Helen. Doris introduced Flora to her brother, Ted when he returned from overseas .

ANNIVERSARIES

It is with sadness we announce the passing of Agnes Jean McCallum on May 3, 2012 at the Ridge Meadows Hospital in Maple Ridge.

Predeceased by her parents Norman and Jean Campbell, her husband Robert, son-inlaw Jim Grond and brothers Norman and Gordon.

Jean is survived by daughter Janet Grond and granddaughter Jennifer, sister Margaret (Al) Rollins, brother Colin (Mary) Campbell, Aunt Jean Bernard, niece Lynne Timm and many other nieces and nephews.

Always outspoken, but underneath a tough veneer was a gentle and loving heart.

Jean’s family would like to thank the staff of Baillie House for the love and gentle kindness given Jean over the years she spent in their care. No Service by request.

Left us too soon at the age of 24, after a year long courageous battle with cancer.

Predeceased by his mother Donna Mae O’Bray. Left to mourn are his grandmother Barbara Thingstad, foster family Darrel, Melissa, Riley and Emily Clint. Also close friends and supporters Pat and Clem Binette, Mildred, Har and Bart Thomas, the Ross family and many community friends. Rob had two church families, Port Coquitlam Christian Assembly and Grace Community Church. Robert volunteered in his Maple Ridge community through the SPCA, Friends in Need Food Bank and Meals on Wheels.

Robert will be remembered for his love of life, friends, church and country music. A celebration of Rob’s life will be held May 16 at 3:00 PM at Grace Community Church, 12240 Harris Road, Pitt Meadows. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the B.C. Cancer Agency at Surrey Memorial Hospital.

She loved to read and considered a librarian the ideal profession. She was an ardent curler and an avid golfer. She was a loving wife, mother and doting grandmother. Flora played the bagpipes for many years at the Pitt Meadows May Day festivities with her father, Samuel Leslie. For many years she also organized the Turkey dinner on Remembrance day at the Pitt Meadows Hall. She was an active member of the Golden Ears Curling Club , the Pitt Meadows Golf and Country Club and the Women’s Institute of the United Church. She possessed a beautiful smile and had an engaging sense of humour. She was an attentive caregiver.

The family would like to express thanks to the Staff at Willow Manor for their loving care and to Dr. Allen Neufeld and Marline Steele for their care of Flora and their support of the family.

A Celebration of Flora’s Life will be held on Thursday, May 17, 2012 at 2 pm at the South Bonson Community Centre, 10932 Barnston View Road, Pitt Meadows.

If friends so desire, donations may be made to the Make-A-Wish Foundation or the Alzheimers Society.
