Shooting suspect shot dead Angus David Mitchell was spotted near 132 Avenue by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter A man wanted in connection with three shootings in Burnaby was shot and killed in north Maple Ridge on Wednesday. RCMP confirmed Angus David Mitchell, 26, died in hospital hours after being surrounded by police near 132nd Avenue,

where a full-fledged gun battle took place prior to his arrest. A woman spotted Mitchell’s green Ford Aerostar van around 11 a.m., less an hour after RCMP issued an alert asking the public to keep an eye out for it. Plainclothes officers from Ridge Meadows RCMP kept the van under surveillance after confirming Mitchell was inside, while other officers shut down streets. Police tried to talk Mitchell out of his car, but he would not cooperate.

heard the gunshots. “It sounded like a couple of single gun shots and then machine-gun fire,” he said. Vancouver Police have taken charge of the scene and will investigate the shooting. “These situations are tragic. Nobody in law enforcement likes to see this type of situation end up in gun fire,” Ridge Meadows RCMP Supt. Dave Walsh said. “Not a happy day for us and not the resolution we were looking for.” See Shooting, p10

The B.C. SPCA is tracking down several leads after two men were spotted behind a Maple Ridge elementary school where the head of cat was dumped on Wednesday. The remains of a cat were found at Harry Hooge elementary, at 12280 – 230th Street, while the leg of a calico cat was found blocks away outside a house on 221st Street, bringing the total number of feline deaths to nine in the past two weeks. In the past year, a total of 24 dismembered cats have been found in the municipality, mostly in an area between 217th and 230th streets. Alex Pope’s 10-year-old daughter, his ﬁve-year-old son and their classmates stumbled upon a cat’s severed head during the lunch break at Harry Hooge. The cat was left at the school between recess and lunch. “It’s a little bit creepy that it was during school hours that someone was on school property doing something like that,” said Pope.

The comfort of Sonia’s Cradle The legacy of Sonia Nickle lives on in the people she helped and the program she started at the Caring Place By Monisha Martins staff reporter

hoenix Blais grins while her mom Amanda tickles her belly, and gurgles gleefully when her dimpled cheeks are pinched. Amanda puts a clean blanket on the carpet before laying the ninemonth-old girl on it. “Dust allergies,” she says, as she dangles a stripped doll above Phoenix, eliciting another giddy laugh from her . Then Amanda marvels at how much her tiny, red-haired daughter has grown. Nine months ago, Phoenix was born 11 weeks early, weighing merely two pounds. “She fit in the palm of my hand,” says Amanda, 27. The townhouse that Amanda shares with her mother Kim, son Griffin and daughter Phoenix is now filled with laughter, and littered with children’s toys. Three years ago, Amanda would never have imagined she’s be a full-time mom – and a good one at that. At 17, Amanda was introduced to crystal meth, a drug that held her tightly in its claws for nearly a decade. She was one of the skeletal addicts who’d roam the streets of downtown Maple Ridge at night, peddling meth on a bicycle, tweaking and shouting obscenities at imaginary threats. When she got pregnant with her son Griffin at 23, she quit the drug cold turkey, but turned to meth again after he was born because of untreated postpartum depression. Griffin spent nine months in foster care as a result. “I know it really affected him,” Amanda says. She had been clean for a year when she gave birth to Phoenix. Today, when Amanda gazes at her family, she thanks the Salvation Army. The Caring Place shelter in Maple Ridge accepted Amanda into its drug treatment program after Phoenix was born, and it’s where she remained for six months. There, Amanda had all the sup-

port she needed to bid farewell to drugs, and the addicts she considered friends. There, Amanda found herself

and became a mom to Grifﬁn. She ﬁnally felt comfortable to ask for help. “I knew I was not going to get

punished,” she says. Without the help of the Sonia’s Cradle, a program that helps young families in need, Amanda would not be able to provide for Griffin and Phoenix. Griffin, a rambunctious threeyear-old who has memorized what every street sign means, has chronic eczema and needs medication that isn’t covered by PharmaCare. Amanda gets $1,500 every month. By the time rent’s paid and groceries bought, there’s little left over for formula, diapers and clothing, which her kids seems to grow out in a matter of weeks. She still visits the Caring Place and knows she can always find a listening ear and a helping hand there.

“I’d like Sonia’s Cradle to help more mothers,” says Amanda. “If it wasn’t there, I’d probably be out there stealing food and stealing diapers.” The spirit of the Sonia’s Cradle program sparked in 2009, when a new frontÐline worker at The Caring Place began collecting donated items for babies and toddlers that had traditionally been turned away due to a lack of storage space. Sonia Nickle took it upon herself to collect the furniture, clothing, diapers and formula that were coming in. She sorted and stored them in her garage, then distributed the items to families that she knew were in need. Jessica Shaw, Nickle’s daughter, says her mom was always helping someone. Sonia has just completed a diploma in counselling when she died suddenly from a brain aneurysm on Dec. 2, 2010, at the age of 50. “My mom always had the biggest heart,” says Jessica. See Sonia, p4

Car Care ‘She tried to make other people’s hard lives better’ with Cyril Barry

AIR CONDITIONING FACTS Now that we’re approaching the time of year that all good folks need their Air Conditioning working it’s time to clear up some misconceptions that seems to abound. The first thing which you need to be aware of is that not all shops are created equal so by all means get more than one opinion. It takes about an hour to do a performance test to determine just what needs to be repaired so be prepared to pay for this. Nobody can tell you what needs to be repaired unless they perform this very important performance test. If you find someone that can, leave immediately or you might be spending more money than you need to. The actual repair to your vehicle if it has leaked it’s refrigerant is not much different than it used to be. We still have to find the leaks (which takes most of the time,) repair the leaks, change the receiver dryer and other related small parts, this is the same as we have always done. You cannot just top up the system for two very important reasons. First of all, if it’s leaking and if you don’t repair the leak before you Top Up the refrigerant, it will just leak out again and you’ve wasted a lot of money. Secondly, it’s illegal to do so. The absolute worst thing you could do is buy the top up kits in a can that everybody sells as these products are not worth the powder to blow them to hell. The companies selling these products know they’re detrimental and possibly harmful, as they contain propane which could cause a major explosion under the right conditions inside a car if your AC is leaking. Yet they turn a blind eye in the pursuit of profit as they use the excuse that everybody is doing it. Shame on them as many of these local companies are run by people I respect! If your air conditioning system has not worked for a number of years then you may require more than one visit to the repair shop to have more work performed. No one can tell you how long any one component is going to last if it has been sitting for a long period of time, this is a mechanical fact of life. This tidbit of information refers to all the parts that make up any vehicle no matter how old it is or isn’t. So if this happens to you do not blame the shop that is fixing it, and by all means take it back to the same shop that just repaired it, they know it best. Air conditioning is a luxury, and luxuries don’t come cheap, always pay to have your system tested properly so you get an accurate quote and have something to fall back on. The old adage “you get what you pay for” certainly applies here. If you have any questions just give us a call and we would be only to happy to answer them for you.

Sonia from p3 “She always put us first and couldn’t care less about herself. If someone was walking down the street and it was cold, she’d give them the shirt off her back.” Jessica and her siblings – Adam and Rory Nickle, and Robbie, Dave and Emily Macdonald– never realized how much of an impact their mom made on the world until after she died. At her memorial service, people streamed to the microphone to tell the room how special Sonia was to them. “My mom had a hard life, so she tried to make other people’s hard lives better,” says Jessica. In Maple Ridge, 11.4 per cent of families and 17.6 per cent of children live in poverty. That’s more than 3,000 children struggling to have the proper food, shelter, clothing and basic necessities. Sonia’s Cradle aims to

support a small fraction of them. Connie McGonigal, a client advocate at the Caring Place and a close friend of Sonia’s, remembers how the program

grew from something Sonia did quietly in her spare time to a full-time ministry. “When she died, her car port was full of diapers and strollers,” says Connie.

For Sonia, who at one time needed the same help, it was about giving back. “I thought I knew everything she was doing and all the people she was helping, but I only knew the surface. There were so many people being helped by her.” After Sonia passed away, people kept coming to the Caring Place to share how she had helped them. That’s why it just seemed fitting to keep her legacy alive. The program has now grown from a service that provided diapers and formula to new moms to one that supports families and youth. Sonia’s Cradle now sponsors school lunches, a camp for at-risk youth and provides school supplies to needy families. “You only had to meet Sonia once and she impacted your life,” says Connie. “That’s how people felt. She always made you feel like the most special thing in the world.”

Give us a break It’s official. Get ready to put your work tools down – be they a hammer, pen, or serving tray – and spend more time with your kin next February as the B.C. government has announced the latest statutory holiday, Family Day, is scheduled for the second week of the month. In this case, Feb. 11 is the date. It’s also the date Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington, fellow independent MLA Bob Simpson, and newly minted B.C. Tory John van Dongen say is too costly for the economy to bear. They believe the government is wrong to offer the people something plenty of other parts of the country already enjoy—a much-needed break in a dreary and dark winter month. Van Dongen says the holiday will not create a single new job. Was it supposed to? It will cost the business community in B.C. an estimated $62 million and place increased pressure on budgets –especially those running a small business, they say. Well, that’s assuming everyone enjoying the break stays at home and asks meekly for another lump of coal for the fire. But what do many of us do over a long weekend? Those keen on hitting the malls will do just that, and plenty of retail operations will likely be more than willing to entice them to shop with some keen price promotions. Some of us will dine out, ordering something sumptuous, and hopefully tipping well when good service is provided. And some outdoor-minded folk may just want to get away from it all and head to the slopes of local hills. All of that will add up to some economic activity. But the biggest return from all of this isn’t the money we spend on food, entertainment, consumer goods, or outdoor recreation. It’s the theme of the holiday that should pay dividends here. It will provide families stressed by the hectic pace of school, work and other activities the opportunity to spend some quality time with each other instead of trudging through the shortest month on the calendar with a longing eye towards the first other holiday at Easter. No, British Columbians need a break. And one with family makes sense. – Black Press

t’s Tuesday morning at Harry Hooge elementary. Logan Brickwood scans the tip of an alder tree on Balabanian Creek, a brook behind the school. “I think it’s 50 meters tall,” he says. Tiffany Copeland, a parent volunteer Along the Fraser in Paula Howarth’s Grade 5 class, records Jack Emberly estimates of today’s tree measuring group before they use a clinometer, an instrument that computes height. Logan’s guess seems high, but it’s dead on. “I like to look at trees and nature,” he says. The tree group is one of several Howarth and fellow staffer Nick Warren direct on alternate days to record information about the creek’s wildlife, water quality – ph, oxygen, turbidity – and plants. Not long ago, Ross Davies of KEEPS brought live invertebrates and spoke about their role as stream health indicators. Today, a team with dip nets, buckets and “rescue trays” will compare aquatic worms, caddis and mayﬂy nymphs with drawings. As usual, everyone is busy, including kids collecting garbage, and a group of ‘journalists’ who circulate, ask questions, and take photos. All data is taken back to class, shared, and used in science experiments (affects of urban runoff and lawn

uestion of the week:

fertilization on stream health), writing, and other curriculum. “It’s fun to go out and identify bugs instead of just doing it from books,” says Taylor Mckee, Logan’s classmate. Taylor sees kids keeping garbage out of the creek now. “When we started, we got four bags of garbage. I didn’t know people littered so much. In my class, though, I think they stopped because if things go into the creek, it affects all the wildlife.” Makenna O’Neill likes the change. “I like helping the environment so it will be a better place for people to visit after school.” Makenna takes relatives to the creek to show them things she’s discovered. “Last time, we found a bear print.” On Thursday, it’s Mr. Warren’s class at streamside. “I’d never been here before this,” admits student, Diana Bitoiu. “This got me outdoors, away from the TV.” “I like seeing all the cool, different bugs,” says Jackson Longmuir. Learning how to measure the height of trees was another highlight. “Once you’ve done it, it’s pretty easy,” Jackson says. Santina Bassanese sums up research in Balabanian Creek this way: “I don’t like staying indoors playing video games. We get to explore in nature.” Warren agrees. “Hands-on stuff often works better than textbooks. “You know something works when kids are talking about what they’ve done at the creek, and taking ownership of it.” This is the second time students from Hooge have combined an environmental study of Balabanian Creek with cur-

riculum. In 1996, Grade 7 teacher Keith Rogalsky received Salmon Habitat funding to restore the area and involve kids in science integration and stewardship. This year, Rogalsky shared his knowledge with Howarth and Warren in preparation for their program, which uses equipment Rogalsky acquired. Balabanian Creek is known to support coho salmon, cutthroat and rainbow trout. Recommendations were made to sustain and improve its rearing habitat. The continuing stewardship of the creek by students, teachers, and parents at Hooge argues for all levels of government support in the name of habitat restoration and education. Other good news: • Parents at Hooge raised funds to convert a bare piece of ground into a garden, picnic site, stage, and area where students can gather and enjoy the outdoors. “The kids planted everything here,” says Nicki McKee (Taylor’s mom) . “They like to water the plants, and weed.” • June 4th environmental organizations, charities, and unions darken their websites (www.blackoutspeakout.ca/take_action.php) to protest Conservative government cuts to environmental protection. Locals rally 2:30 p.m., June 2nd outside MP Randy Kamp’s ofﬁce. • ARMS has a Hydro grant of $10,000 to convert a mud ﬂat on the Alouette to spawning habitat for coho, chinook, pink, chum, and cutthroat.

THE NEWS/letters Revitalizing Hammond, honouring its rich heritage EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: News earns community award (The News, May 25). Congratulations to The News on winning the Spirit of Community award. I was honoured to receive the Good Neighbour award and am grateful to my wonderful neighbors here in Hammond who nominated me and improve our lives on a daily basis. My parents helped us break the ice and meet our neighbours pretty much from Day 1. After spending the last few years bonding through Christmas and block parties, my neighbours and I were inspired by Jim Diers’ workshop to take community building to the next level. We want to create a social, projectbased group that revitalizes Hammond and honors its heritage in a fun, neighbourly way. I am interested in organizing family dances at the Hammond Community Centre and improving the local parks. In the spirit of We Call It Haney, my neighbours and I are starting to collect current photos and oral histories of Hammond’s rich heritage. My husband and I have applied for a Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA) with the District of Maple Ridge for our house, which was built by my grandfather in 1923. The HRA is a new program and we are hoping these agreements catch on, as they are designed to help homeowners make upgrades to the property while preserving its heritage elements. It’s pretty cool to live in a neighbourhood where people chat on a daily basis and are there to support each other when difﬁculties arise. I am grateful to the district for supporting community building through neighbourhood grants, workshops, committees, and the Spirit of Community awards. I grew up in Maple Ridge and returned to raise my own kids. Having lived both abroad and in Vancouver, I can better appreciate my hometown. It really is a gorgeous part of the world. Hammond, in particular, is brimming with beauty and potential and is now on the cusp of revitalization. Anyone interested in having fun in Hammond, please email me at leannekoehn@telus.net.

Needs to be fewer bears EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Bears about, be aware (The News, May 30). I would like to express my thanks to the driver of the pickup who stopped me during my midday jog along 272 Street in Whonnock on Monday. He said a bear was running along behind me, and kindly offered me a lift further down the road. While I was talking to the driver, a couple in a passing car saw the situation, turned around, and chased the bear off the road with their car. I thank these people as well. I continued my run, but was somewhat nervous on the way home along the same route. This was certainly not the ﬁrst time I have encountered bears while hiking or jogging here in Whonnock, but it is happening more frequently. The bears are now way more numerous and are completely fearless. We are long-time (25 years) Whonnock residents who moved here to enjoy the rural life, with its opportunities for growing our own fruit trees, berries, vegetables, chickens, knowing full well that there were bears, coyotes, deer and other wildlife here on the urban fringes and that they

go with the territory. However, when bears and cougars lose their fear of humans, and are allowed to increase in great numbers, they can become dangerous. The Bear Aware program appears to consist of an expensive website to state the obvious: there are lots of bears here, and to blame residents for growing food that bears like. A few years ago, Maple Ridge was subsidizing compost bins. Now it seems there could be a large ﬁne for having an unsecured composter, or an apple tree that may appeal to a bear. The human population hasn’t

increased much here in Whonnock in recent years, and longtime residents do know how to deal with their garbage; newcomers learn quickly. It would be a shame to have to drive into town for a run on the treadmill, to the post ofﬁce, or to the Whonnock cemetery to visit my mother’s grave rather than running or walking here at home. Must I pack bear spray, bear bangers and an air horn outside? I know there are those who enjoy the excitement of bear encounters, but I am old enough to prefer my exercise without having to be armed and looking over my shoulder when I’m out in the ’hood. As with the case of the over abundant Canada geese that made Whonnock Lake for a time, an unsanitary and unusable mess, there can be too much of a good thing. City dwellers whose experience of nature come mostly from the National Geographic channel might not like it, but there needs to be fewer bears out here. Thanks again to those kind strangers who stopped to help.

Gravel proposal now up to council

PROFESSIONAL SEWING & ALTERATIONS

Plan is to remove 400,000

• 15 Years Experience Graduation Dresses • Affordable Prices • Exceptional Quality • Friendly Same Day Service • Shirts • Comfortable Atmosphere • Hemming • Cushions • Curtains

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter It’s going to be up to Maple Ridge council to decide whether a proposal to mine 400,000 cubic metres of gravel gets anywhere. The Agricultural Land Commission made that decision Thursday after receiving a notice of intent to haul gravel from two parcels that sit between 124th and 128th avenues along 236th Street. “Given the signiﬁcance of the project,” CEO Richard Bullock ordered a formal application take place. The ALC can allow such proposals to go ahead without formal applications if the im-

pact isn’t considered great on farmland. Damax Consultants wrote to the ALC in May, outlining the proposal to take the gravel out over a two- to threeyear period. The route for trucks would be 124th Avenue to 232nd Street. David Laird, with Damax Consultants, representing the owners, said removing the gravel, then reapplying topsoil would allow the entire property to be used for farming. “There’s a total intent to farm it.” Security deposits with the commission would ensure that happens, he said. He said there are “zero plans” for developing the land for housing. “It’s in the ALR. Trying to get land out of the ALR is zero.”

The proposal worried some of the neighbours on 236A Street. Wendy Blatta and her husband moved to the area from their home from Ontario three years ago. “We picked Maple Ridge because of the trees and abundant wildlife,” Blatta said. But if gravel trucks start rumbling through, the “noise and ﬁlth will be tremendous. “The fact it even would be considered just amazes me,” she said. “I know what gravel pits are like and our property values would drop. That ﬁlth will ruin everybody’s life for blocks.” Neighbour Steve Hamilton, a realtor, has the same concerns. He doesn’t oppose subdividing the property, if it was removed from

the land reserve, for building one or halfacre homes. “I have no problem with that. As far as I am concerned, a subdivision up there would enhance the rest of the neighourhood. “But when you want to put an industrial use into a residential area – not so good.” Hamilton’s most concerned about the dust that would result. That could settle on to nearby homes and clog furnace ﬁlters and perimeter drains and even wash into storm sewers which ﬂow into nearby creeks. The land, two parcels, is also surrounded on three sides by homes, he added. Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin, though, said it’s early in the process. See Gravel, p13

No motive yet for murders Shooting from front Police issued a warning about Mitchell early Wednesday, asking anyone who knew him or had a conﬂict with him to be on guard. Police allege he shot a 51-year-old Burnaby

man in front of his home in the 4400-block of Gilpin Crescent Tuesday, May 29. The man survived and is in hospital in serious condition. Mitchell is also a “person of interest” in the double homicide

in South Burnaby on Sunday, May 27. In that incident, 36-year-old Burnaby resident Huong (Andy) Tran and a woman were shot to death at Tran’s Royal Oak Sushi House on Royal Oak Avenue near Kingsway. Police have not yet established a motive for the murders.

While the forensics work from the murder scene has yet to be completed, there appear to be links between the two incidents, said Sgt. Pound, a spokesperson for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). “Just geographically, Burnaby doesn’t see a lot of these kinds of crimes,” Pound added. “It looks like it might be a similar weapon, but again, forensics will have to shine a light on that.” Mitchell was a former security guard who worked in that industry “for some time.” He appeared to have had conﬂict with former employers and coworkers. The reason for Mitchell’s eviction six months ago was unknown other than that there was “some level of conﬂict between him and the former landlord.”

‘A few leads’ Cats from front “That bothers me.” Lorie Chortyk, with the B.C. SPCA, said all the cats have been killed in the same manner, either cut in half with a saw or sharp knife. A witness claimed to see two men in the woods behind the elementary school on Wednesday. “Ofﬁcers immediately combed the entire area, but there was no one there. We’ve had a few leads and are following up on each one,” said Chortyk. The cat mutilations prompted the SPCA to issue a public warning in March, urging cat owners to keep their pets inside.

Cyclist killed by SUV was father of three Friends are slowly learning of Jon Burstynski’s death by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter A single red rose marks the spot where a cyclist was killed by an alleged drunk driver in east Maple Ridge a week ago. Unlike other fatal crashes, the place where Jon Burstynski died has yet to turn in roadside memorial. There are no photographs or candles, balloons or bouquets. Friends of the 36-year-old are only now learning about his tragic death on Dewdney Trunk Road at 3 a.m. on May 24. Cody Parsons, who was Burstynski’s best friend in elementary school, had a “gut feeling” when he heard about the cy-

clist being killed. Parsons called friends who still live “on the bad side of town,” but nobody knew who the man was. Police were unable to identify Burstynski immediately and pegged his age between 20 and 40. They have yet to release his age or name. Parsons eventually got a message on Thursday, confirming his childhood friend had died. “It hit me pretty hard,” he said. Burstynski was struck by white Kia Sportage, which was being followed by a RCMP officer who suspected the woman behind the wheel was drunk. The Mountie spotted the Kia speeding in the 23200-block of Dewdney Trunk Rd. The officer was about to stop the SUV when the 52-year-old driver lost control and crashed near 243rd Street. The SUV burst into flames following the

crash, but the Mountie quickly put out the fire with an extinguisher from his police cruiser and pulled the woman out of driver’s seat. The officer then realized the SUV has struck a cyclist, who was riding east. Burstynski, 36, was tossed several metres and landed in a wooded area. The father of three was found by a police dog and pronounced dead at the scene. “Jon was my best friend as a child and now he’s gone ... “ said Parsons, who was a classmate of Burstynski at Fairview elementary in Maple Ridge. In the past few years, Parsons had lost touch with Burstynski, who he said struggled with addiction. Parsons plans to make a wooden cross for his friend. “I commend police for trying to get her off the road. The officer was just doing his

Gravel proposal in early stages: mayor Gravel from p9 “It’s very much preliminary right now. “Obviously, the neighbours have gotten wind of it and there’s a lot of angst about it. I’ve got some serious questions about it, as well. “But it’s in its infancy.” He said the district doesn’t yet have an application and says the applicant has only sent a notice of intent to the Agricultural Land Reserve to extract the gravel. The letter says the topsoil ﬁrst would be removed, then replaced for farming purposes, once the gravel has been extracted. Daykin also points out that gravel was mined from land to the north years ago, though he’s not saying that’s appropriate now. Currently, the ofﬁcial community plan only allows gravel mining on the north end of 256th Street. Daykin said, at this

Female officer ‘kicked’ A 32-year-old man well-known to police faces multiple charges after a female officer was kicked during a pursuit in Pitt Meadows on Wednesday. Ridge Meadows RCMP were called about suspicious activity at the boat docks at the Katzie First Nations reserve in South Bonson. Two men were seen loading property from a boat into a pickup truck. An RCMP officer and Police Dog Services responded. The truck tried to flee through a residential area, but was blocked by the dog services truck. A suspected them tried to run away. During the foot chase, a female officer was kicked. She was not injured and the man was arrested. He appeared in court on Thursday. Charges of possession of stolen property, assaulting a peace officer, prohibited driving and others under the Motor Vehicle Act are being recommended.

It’s a good news story from any angle. In 2010, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows Community Services was selected as the ﬁrst community to pilot a new seniors’ initiative. Jointly funded by the United Way of the Lower Mainland and the Provincial Government, the CASI Seniors Outreach and Home Support program provides housekeeping, handyperson, transportation and friendly visit services to seniors on a sliding scale based on income.

Transportation to medical appointments locally and out of town is the number one requested service. This service helps ensure seniors receive the medical attention and treatments they need. “We are always in need of volunteer drivers to help with transportation to medical appointments and shopping,” adds Leginus. Drivers are reimbursed for their mileage to help cover expensive fuel costs.

“We are very proud of the Seniors Outreach and Home Support program,” explains Joanne Leginus, Director of Administration and Senior Services at Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Community Services. “Through the program, we are able to support seniors who otherwise would not have been able to afford help. This helps them to live more comfortably and stay in their own homes longer.”

So nice to come home to.

ince I have ventured into a very direct relationship with the care of my aging parents, I have grown inﬁnitely more sympathetic to the needs and challenges of the elderly. In particular, I have come to realize that there is a segment of the elderly population, one which my mother has now joined, that is faced with life-altering circumstances and few reasonable options from which to choose. This population is comprised largely, although not exclusively, of elderly women. The passing of their spouse leaves them alone, ﬁnancially compromised, and often unable to maintain their own living accommodations. Determined to stay in their home as long as they can, a couple may fail to consider what might happen should one of them pass away and the entire home is left to the care of the other. The loss of a long-term spouse leaves an enormous void in the life of the survivor, but the need to relocate often makes that loss even more traumatic. Now the feeling of loss is extended to both the long-term companionship of a loved one and the long-term comfort of a shared home.

It is all very disconcerting at a time of life when confusion is already a common state of mind. Adding yet another dimension to this confusion, is Parenting consideration Graham Hookey of the possible housing options for those who are still physically healthy and able to care for themselves. While living with children who have the ability to provide support is one option, not everyone is able to accommodate that and not every elderly parent wants to live with family for a whole host of reasons. The challenge is to ﬁnd living options that offer independence without isolation and personal monitoring without overt care. Senior apartment complexes can offer the low maintenance, independent living quarters that offer someone an opportunity to look after themselves entirely. Those that provide some “common” resources (an activity centre or card

room), and some social programming are the best options. At this point in time, such facilities often have fairly long waiting lists and so timing is the greatest problem. As for personal monitoring, daily check-ins by relatives, by phone or in person, and a back-up plan with someone locally should an emergency arise, allows for a routine to put everyone’s mind at ease. Slowly but surely there are commercial services arising to provide support for families who live far from a parent who is alone. These services can provide both technical support (monitoring devices that make automatic phone calls if something happens), and personal support (workers who make regular visits to check in and sometimes provide an extra hand to help with non-medical needs). In my mind, it is better to make the decision to downsize and ﬁnd a suitable option for single-person living while you are still a couple and the comforts of a personal home can be established in this new setting before a crisis arises. Graham Hookey writes about education, parenting and eldercare (ghookey@yahoo.com).

MAPLE RIDGE • PITT MEADOWS

Young and ready to buy first home B

randon Bianchet is about to fulfill a lifelong goal he’s had since he was just a 10-yearold boy in Pitt Meadows – which really wasn’t all that long ago. Bianchet is now 20 and just qualified for his first mortgage, has built up a respectable down payment and is about to start house hunting. “It feels amazing,” Bianchet says, describing the first time he met with his realtor to discuss finding his first home. “My hands were actually shaking.” Bianchet has been saving his pennies and planning this move for a decade, but notes that current low interest rates mean it’s an ideal time to jump into the market. He couldn’t wait any longer. Apparently, he’s not alone. Historic low rates for both short- and long-term mortgages are attracting more young people into the market, according to the Greater Vancouver Real Estate board statistics. And about 800 young people registered for a recent Greater Vancouver Home Buyers Association first-time homeowner seminar. Almost 40 per cent of those surveyed at the seminar said they were planning to buy within the next year, and 34 per cent of them will make a townhouse or a condominium their

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Brandon Biachet pours over real estate lisings at RE/MAX Results Realty on Lougheed Highway, at 208th Street, on his way to purchasing his first home. ﬁrst purchase, president Peter Simpson said in a release. Those same potential buyers see housing prices, down payment and getting approval for a mortgage as the biggest obstacles to purchasing. Bianchet agrees. “It’s tough being young,” says Bianchet, who works for a local business providing cellular, TV and Internet support. “You have to build up a credit rating.”

For Bianchet, building up a good credit rating has been part of the plan as well. He paid off his car a year ago and now he’s accumulated the cash for his ﬁrst down payment. He just went through the excruciating wait to be approved for a mortgage. The answer he was waiting for came through last Friday and he was out pounding the pavement on his next days off. And now he’s already looking

ahead to his next home. Within five years he hopes to “be looking to buy a nice little house. That’s the plan,” he says. His realtor, Darcy McLeod, says he first noticed an increase in young couples taking advantage of the low interest rates. And he’s also seen an increase in single young men and women eager to get into the market. They aren’t waiting to go the traditional route of waiting until they’ve settled into family life before they turn the key on their own home. “It’s great to see,” he said. “They are smart enough to get into the market or start saving for a down payment.” While low interest rates were a big catalyst for Bianchet, he also had a couple of role models he says made all the difference. His parents bought land and built a home in their early 20s in Pitt Meadows more than 20 years ago. He credits their example with giving him the belief he could also be mortgage-free in mid-life if he put his mind to it. “A big part of this is my parents,” he says. “I really made a difference to know that they did it,” he says. While Bianchet had his great role models to follow, other young buyers can find plenty of help in creating their own. Banks, realtors, websites will

offer you ideas on how to get ready to buy that first home. McLeod suggests getting approval for a mortgage before heading out to those open houses and remembering you’ll need to save for legal fees and taxes. The best idea for any young home buyer is to be prepared and to learn as much as possible about what you are about to get into. How much can you afford? What are some of the lesserknown costs to buying your first home? Even something as simple as just what the heck do some of the words thrown around by lawyers and realtor mean: amortization; appraisal; closed mortgage; maturity date. Canada Mortgage and Housing has a website to get you started on answering those questions (www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/en/co/ buho/). But there’s no magic solution for getting yourself in the position where you can slap down your money and become an expert on what all those house hunting terms mean. Just like that 10-year-old Pitt Meadows kid knew a decade ago, saving money for a down payment is the first step. And for a growing number of young single home buyers, that seems to be the plan.

The Flats on Georgia ﬁnds a home in Chinatown

‘Thoughtful livability’ at work When Panther Constructors decided to build their latest development in Chinatown, The Flats on Georgia, they ran into a few emotional obstacles. “How do you build in a part of the city with so much history?” asks Panther Director Brian Low. “We have to do justice to the neighbourhood.” “You have to carefully stitch a patch into the existing quilt,” says Scott Brown of Colliers International Residential Marketing. The 28 one- and two-bedroom condominiums include nine-foot ceilings, and plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows that will allow natural light to pour in.

Outside, the building rises nine storeys from the street, and features contemporary Chinatown architecture like slotted shutters, Juliet balconies in some plans and ground level retail. “The crux of the unit is ‘thoughtful livability,’” Low says. With open concept kitchens, polished concrete flooring throughout and custom millwork, it’s clear that no detail has been overlooked. “(We) spent a lot of time thinking (about) important details,” Low says. “Personally, I haven’t lived in a place that feels more like a community ... It’s like a small town inside a big city.” Visit theflatsongeorgia.com or call 604-790-8744 for more information.

tables, chairs and benches, and paved garden paths and green space. Surrey City Centre “is going to be a gathering space,” says Lin. “It’s going to be the most popular space in Greater Vancouver.” The civic plaza currently holds the City Centre Library and will eventually be home to Surrey’s new City Hall. A new performing arts centre, Simon Fraser University and the Surrey Art Gallery are also nearby. Almost any amenity or service you could imagine is in the area, from shopping at the Central City mall to grabbing a bite to eat at one of the local restaurants. If it’s a bit of outdoor recreation you’re looking for, you’ll be able to find it at one of the many parks near Wave, including Holland Park,

home of the annual Fusion Festival and Movies Under the Stars. The North Surrey Recreation Centre, featuring a pool and several ice rinks, is right beside the Surrey Central SkyTrain station, just minutes from Wave. Wave is within easy walking distance of transit, so you’ll be able to leave your car behind. There are several bus routes and SkyTrain stations in the area. “It’s easy to zip to central Surrey and back to Vancouver,” Lin says. Surrey has quickly become a large urban centre in its own right, separate from Vancouver itself. “Places like Surrey, suburban centres, are going to be the next Vancouver east side,” Lin says, citing that area’s popularity with buyers until its home prices began to rise. “To get that kind of pricing, you have to go out to the suburban areas. This area is going to take off,” he says. Homes at Wave start at $179,900. For more information, visit www. waveliving.ca or call 604-951-9283.

‘This area is going to take off’

A new Wave of style in Surrey City Centre by Kerry Vital

Rize Alliance is bringing some high style to Surrey’s City Centre with its newest condominium project, Wave. The two high-rise towers will hold 235 suites per tower, and with generous balconies included in every home, it’s no surprise that many have already been sold. Many of the outdoor spaces are larger than 100 square feet. “It’s unheard of to bring that kind of outdoor space to condos,” says Will Lin, president of Rize Alliance. The architecture is definitely the defining exterior feature of Wave. As its name suggests, it’s built in a gently undulating wave pattern that will make it an iconic part of the City Centre skyline. Each floor is curved differently than the one above and below it, so no two homes are identical. “People can be proud of (it) as they drive up to their home,” says Lin. Curb appeal is definitely one of the many reasons people are choosing to live at Wave, along with the affordable prices and the location, which is rapidly growing in popularity. Another special feature at Wave is inside the suites. Ingenious movable walls mean that you can change your home to suit your every need, whether it’s closing off a space for visiting overnight guests or opening it up to have more room to entertain. “The movable walls create space as necessary,” Lin says. He explains that this gives homeowners double the possibilities for their home. There are a variety of one- and two-bedroom floorplans available, ranging from approximately 522 to 780 square feet. The living area features contemporary wood-tone laminate flooring, while the bedroom includes luxurious nylon custom carpeting that you can sink your toes into. Because of the design of the building there is a beautiful view in every direction, so the large windows let in tons of natural light and afford you a daily taste of your personal stunning view. The kitchens are perfect for entertaining or a night in with a glass of wine and a good book. With polished quartzite countertops complemented by soft-close durable wood grain cabinets

and stainless-steel appliances, you may be inspired to become a gourmet chef. A typical condo kitchen, this is not. The bathrooms are chic and cool, with their own set of polished quartzite countertops and porcelain floor tile. A brushed aluminum mirror lends a little elegant touch to the space where you may spend much of your time getting ready for the day or a night out. When you’re ready for a bit of entertainment, the development has some pretty great amenities, from a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a theatre room, a library and lounge areas with a kitchen, among many other amenities. Wave is also pet-friendly, with a pet wash/grooming room. A community garden is also on-site, as well as an open space on the ground level that will hold a barbecue area with

“

People can be proud of (it) as they drive up to their home,” says Rize Alliance President Will Lin.

The homes at Wave are elegant and modern, with wood-tone laminate flooring and large windows to let the natural light flood in. With several different floorplans available, you’ll have no trouble finding the perfect home.

Hockey

Royals second in Quest contributed Five Maple Ridge players were part of a team that came second at a spring hockey tournament in Burnaby last weekend. Damian Richards, Devon Taylor, Dallas Teichrob, Sean McClosky and Jeffrey Sunshine played for the Fraser Valley Royals, which went 5-0 en route to making the peewee division final of Quest for the Cup. The Royals defeated the 99 Cascades 6-2, the 2000 Surrey Heat 15-0, the 99 Young Guns 6-4, and the 99 Pacific Knights 6-0, then downed the 99 Fraser Valley Prospects 5-2 in the semi-finals. The Royals, however, fell to the 99 West Coast All-stars 9-3 in the cup game. Sunshine made some key saves in the first 10 minutes of the final to keep the game from breaking open and stopped 40 shots overall. The Royals were only down 4-3 after the second period, but were worn down by the size and strength of the Prospects in the third. Taylor led the local players with five goals and an assist at the tournament, including the team’s first marker in the final. Richards finished with two goals and two assists. McClosky and Teichrob both picked up assists. “This was a hard fought tournament for a 2000 team that had only practiced together for two weeks prior to the tournament and was facing some very good teams from the 1999 age grouping,” said Royals coach Troy Stordy. The team was comprised of players from Maple Ridge, Mission, Aldergrove, Surrey and Abbotsford.

Trails Day not just a walk in the park Participants can walk, jog, ride or take horseback for first International Trails Day by Janis Warren Black Press

he lush trails of the region that snake through forests and border rivers will be celebrated this Sunday for International Trails Day. Metro Vancouver and the Trans Canada Trail Society will mark the occasion with its ﬁrst-ever challenge that will see walkers, runners, cyclists and equestrians pass through up to ﬁve Metro parks and six greenways that link the region. Organizer Léon Lebrun, president and southwest regional director for Trails B.C., said more than 150 people — most of them seniors — are already registered for the event that coincides with the 20th anniversary of the Trans Canada Trail, as well as the start of Bike Month; it will also highlight the Experience the Fraser project, a concept for a recreational and cultural corridor along the Fraser River, from Hope to the Salish Sea. The biggest “challenge” of the challenge kicks off at 8:30 a.m. on June 3 at the Fort Langley national

Leon Lebrun, of Coquitlam, takes a walk on the PoCo Traboulay Trail that will be part of the first-ever International Trails Day that will feature more than 150 participants making their way through Maple Ridge as part of the event. heritage site, where cyclists will travel up to 100 km — between six and nine hours — along interconnected pathways in Colony Farm, Minnekhada, Tynehead, Derby Reach and Brae Island regional parks. Some 40 volunteers will man the check points, offering water and snacks to the endurance athletes as well as, for fun, a stamp for their trail passports.

“It’s a fantastic ride, but it should only be done by experienced riders,” Lebrun cautioned. For horseback riders, the selfguided journey — lasting up to 26 km — starts at 9 a.m. near the new Syd Vernon bridge on 136th Avenue (at Cedar Way) in Maple Ridge and winds its way over the Pitt River Bridge and into Minnekhada regional park in Coquitlam. And for runners and cyclists

wanting less of a hike, there are several starting points and distance options, though participants can join the opening ceremonies in Fort Langley and be shuttled to their location. From the Tri-Cities, organizers have mapped out a 47 to 61 km cycle route from Colony Farm and a 40 to 45 km cycle/run route from Minnekhada Lodge — both ending up in Fort Langley. Lebrun said even if residents don’t want to take part in the challenge, they can spend the day meandering a local trail . “It’s absolutely beautiful what we have locally — right in our backyard.” And, “Usually the trails go through a city park or a regional park, so there’s so much to see or do along the way.”

Sign up Registration for the June 3 challenge is, for cyclists, $35 per person or $65 for families (two adults and two children); for equestrians, it’s $20 per horse; and for walkers/ runners, $25 per person or $45 for families. Proceeds will go towards trail construction and upkeep. The event takes place rain or shine and there are challenge routes that are wheelchair and stroller accessible.

Ridge Thunder roll in Surrey The Maple Ridge Thunder just keep on rolling. The peewee girls’ AAA softball team ran its record to 33-1, rattling off another seven straight on their way to winning a 17-team tournament in South Surrey last weekend. Thunder’s Dave Hill said he is thoroughly enjoying coaching this team, made up of a mix of strong veterans and ﬁrst-year players. “The older kids have been excellent role models for the younger ones on our team, and all the kids play hard for each

other as they really don’t want to let one another down,” said Hill. The Thunder ﬁnished off the tournament with two straight shut-out wins, blanking Sardis 8-0 before winning the title with a 13-0 drubbing of Ladner. Hill said the Thunder’s success is truly a team effort. He said Megan Aird, Mackenzie Emerson, Jessica Foulds, Kale’a Gjaltema, Amy Hill and Carmen Partridge all played great in the ﬁeld. “We are very solid defensively, and with our pitching, as evidenced by 14 runs allowed over seven games at the tour-

nament. I think the kids really take pride in playing strong defense.” On offense, he said Emily Nobiss, Jamie Robinson, Cydney Turner, Chelsey Turner, and Codie Wright had a good weekend. “It’s hard to single out just one player, the focus is on the team,” said Hill. While talented on offense and defense, Hill said perhaps their greatest attribute is their humility. “A coach of one of our opponents told me after our game that we had a very talented team, but more importantly, a very classy team, as well.”

Burrards set to represent B.C. contributed Ridge Meadows Burrards peewee lacrosse players Aidan Murphy and Dylan McCormick followed up a successful weekend at the B.C. Cup in Kelowna recently by being named to Team B.C. The Maple Ridge products will represent the province at the 2012 EG Dopp Peewee National Championships in Whitby, Ont., Aug. 4 to 12.

Both players were part of Team Fraser Valley that won the B.C. Cup, along with Gavin Bruce, Matthew Marty and Kyle Jansson of Maple Ridge. Locals Justin Cloete and Jorrin Lenton also played in the Kelowna tournament, which serves as a tryout for Team B.C.’s national selection process. The Team B.C. lacrosse program consists of five box lacrosse squads, with boys play-

ing in the peewee, bantam and midget divisions. The girls compete in the bantam and midget age category. B.C. will also send three field lacrosse squads to the nationals. The Ladies Under 19 team will have home-field advantage when it plays in Victoria Aug. 1 to 5. The men’s U16 and Men’s U19 teams will travel to Oshawa, Ont. to play in the nationals from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2.
