Bing blasted for staying on council Residents want a ‘full-time’ city councillor by M on i sh a M ar ti n s staff reporter

Holding on

The new member of the legislature was chastised by the public at a council meeting Tuesday for holding onto his job as a councillor for the city of Pitt Meadows. Bing As cameras rolled, two residents took the opportunity during question period to criticize Dr. Doug Bing, saying voters did not elect a councillor to sit part-time. Instead of resigning and triggering a by-election, Bing will stay on city council until the start of 2014. see Bing, p13

video. She also wants to see any paper trail that led to the video being removed from the municipal website, and has also asked for any correspondence, reports or emails that demonstrate the reason and decision to deny public access to the full video. Coun. Corisa Bell questioned the district budget at that meeting. The video of that meeting was first removed from the website, reviewed by district lawyers, then edited and re-posted several weeks later. Read specifically asked for any document that is or mentions a

formal defamation complaint resulting for Bell’s statements or discussion. Read, who allows that she has developed a trust of Bell and believes “her heart is Bell in the right place,” said the present situation casts the councillor in a poor light because the public is left wondering if she has done something

wrong. Read said in her letter to council: “Related or not, this transpired mere days after Coun. Corisa Bell filed a formal complaint regarding comments made to her by Chief Administrative Officer Jim Rule, following which Coun. Bell requested that the mayor suspend Rule.” Read later said that she made the FOI request because of the public’s interest in government transparency. “The timeline of events makes me uncomfortable,” she said. see Video, p5

Pitt burning permit fee increases Farmers disappointed that $25 trial fee will now be $90 by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

Pitt Meadows will increase its fee for a burning permit to $90 next year, despite protests from the city’s farming community. City council rescinded a $25 trial fee Tuesday, bumping the cost for farmers who want to dispose green waste to $90.37. The increase was not supported by the city’s agricultural advisory committee, which also requested the burning season be increased to include May and September. The City of Pitt Meadows permits agricultural burning annually during two seasons; March 1 to April 30 and Oct. 1 to Nov. 30. “This fee didn’t come out of the blue. It’s four years old,” Pitt Meadows fire chief Don Jolley said in response to comments that farmers were suddenly being hit by a spike in fees. The original bylaw and $100 permit fee was created in 2009. Jolley noted the bylaw has resulted in a 69-per-cent reduction in burning complaints, and a 52-per-cent decrease in nuisance and grass or brush fires. “It has had significant impact on fire department call volume, the congruent burden on volunteer firefighters, and the associated costs of responses under the paid on call model,” Jolley said in a report to council. The fee was reduced last summer on a trial basis. But following a review, staff recommended the fee be increased. The fire department claims the city is not recouping costs associated with

Coun. Janis Elkerton voted against increasing the burning permit fee after taking calls from farmers who opposed it. processing permits at $25. The city would like farmers to find more sustainable, less polluting ways to get rid of green waste. Meanwhile, Metro Vancouver anticipates further tightening on open burning in the coming years to improve air quality. “I want to remind people of the number of years we had illegal burning in this community. The people who hid tires and huge pieces of plastic in their burn piles,” Coun. Gwen O’Connell said Tuesday before voting in favour of a higher permit fee. “I don’t think I’m trying to rip the farmers off. We are trying to discourage burning in the community.” Coun. Doug Bing reminded residents that times have changed. “Metro Vancouver has ruled that

open burning needs to stop. For the farmers, it’s a privilege, not a right to burn,” he added. “They are lucky that they are still allowed to burn with the changes that Metro Vancouver introduced.” Couns. Janis Elkerton and Dave Murray voted against the $90.37 permit fee, saying they’ve received many calls from the agricultural community, asking them to intervene. “They feel like they are getting nickel and dimed,” said Murray. “The burning thing is a huge concern for them. All of a sudden, now out of the blue, to have cost recovery for something like this, doesn’t make a lot of sense.” To support reinstating a higher permit fee, the city compiled a break-

down of administrative costs, showing how much it costs to process a single permit. For Scott Pelton, who sits on the city’s agricultural advisory committee, doesn’t agree with the increase. “I think Pitt Meadows council should be supporting the largest industry in the municipality,” said Pelton “The permit fee is an artificial number they came up with. To me, any costs they are throwing at the farmers for the burning permit is an attempt to deter us from burning.” Pelton, however, doesn’t think the $90 permit fee will stop burning. “Farming does need to burn. There’s a need for disposal, but the fire department is firmly against us having the right to burn at all.”

A young man is dead after drowning while swimming in Alouette Lake on Thursday. Maple Ridge firefighters were called to the lake at around 3:40 p.m. The man and his friends were in a public swimming area when he disappeared under the water. Emergency officials on scene said they did not know how long the man was submerged. He was pulled from the lake by friends and brought to shore. Two nurses on the beach administered CPR before emergency personnel arrived. Attempts to resuscitate the young man, who is believed to be in his early 20s, failed. It is the third death in Golden Ears Provincial Park in three years. A 19-year-old Delta man drowned in Alouette Lake in August 2010. Earlier this year, a 19-year-old Surrey man died after being swept over a waterfall at Gold Creek in Golden Ears park. The provincial park is one of the busiest in B.C.

Pitt council to meet with CP Rail over safety concerns City wants to ensure emergency measures are in place by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

The City of Pitt Meadows will meet with Canadian Pacific Railway to ensure there are emergency measures in place to prevent a deadly disaster. The call to meet with CP officials comes a week after a runaway train carrying crude oil destroyed much of the Quebec town of Lac Megantic. Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters said council received a letter from a concerned resident asking if there were any precautions in place to prevent a similar tragedy. CP will be meeting with council Oct. 8 to

discuss the issue. Shipping oil by rail has been on the upswing as pressure grows to get landlocked Alberta oil out to global markets. Train loads of crude oil aren’t yet rolling through Metro Vancouver for export, but there’s growing speculation that could come, particularly if proposed new pipelines are rejected. (Small amounts of crude have come by truck or train to Chevron’s Burnaby refinery at times when it was unable to get enough supply from the over-subscribed Trans Mountain pipeline.) But poisonous and explosive gases do roll on rail through heavily developed Metro neighbourhoods and those are the cars that are of greatest concern to emergency responders if a train derails. Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis said one risky substance is propane, which is explosive and heavier than air, so it doesn’t readily dissi-

pate. Other chemicals that move on rail in this region include chlorine, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, which spilled from CN Rail cars into the Cheakamus River in 2005, killing half a million fish. Rail disasters are a “low frequency, high risk” threat that emergency responders in the region prepare for, Garis said. “We haven’t taken it lightly.” But he emphasized the rail industry’s safety record of moving dangerous goods has steadily improved since a 1979 chlorine leak in Mississauga, Ont. forced the evacuation of 218,000 people. That incident triggered major regulatory reforms, including beefed-up tanker cars for hazardous goods. “The rail cars that carry commodities that pose risks are designed to roll over, they’re designed to crash into each other end-on-

end, so even if they do derail, they’re designed to withstand the consequences of that,” Garis said. “The track record in recent years is extremely positive.” Garis also noted the volumes of such chemicals moving here are relatively small. Unlike derailments in rugged slide-prone parts of B.C., Garis noted the Lower Mainland is mostly flat and trains move slowly so risks of an accident are reduced. Canadian Pacific has revised its safety rules following the disaster: • all trains carrying dangerous material will not be left unattended on main line track; • if trains must be left unattended, the locomotive will be locked; • brake-setting procedures will be strengthened. – with files from Jeff Nagel

Car Care with Cyril Barry

CAR COMMERCIALS Car commercials on TV have been around so long that some distracted people think that they are their own form of art. They all suggest to promise more than they can ever deliver and for the most part are selling many items that are a complete waste of time. Buzzwords, the likes of: zoom, zoom, zoom, ecotech and ecoboost, are all concocted to get your attention. They try to promote a lifestyle intermixed with the current trends of the times, trends they sometimes create themselves, such as the muscle car era of the sixties. When you look at car ads of the last fifty years, what you’re seeing is life through the eyes of a major advertising agency. Reality is used only sparingly so as not to distract from the purpose of the ad message. By far the best car ad line I’ve ever heard is ‘German Engineering’ like there are no bad car engineers in Germany, not true! Keep this in mind when you’re shopping for a car. When I am in the market to buy a dishwasher I phone some appliance repair shops and question them on what they think is the best dishwasher to buy, or not to buy. After all who knows dishwashers better? The same works for cars so talk to your repair shop. Ask them which cars they fix the most. They fix cars every working day of the week so it might be an idea to tap into this vast source of realitybased knowledge. A lot of people rely on books or blogs when buying a new or used vehicle. This is good as a beginner’s guide but do not rely on them completely. These books & blogs are written by well-meaning journalists with little professional experience in the automotive world. An opinion based on research as opposed to hands on experience. If you are buying a used car privately or at a dealer, always make your offer subject to a complete vehicle inspection. Do not rely on the seller’s inspection. Have it inspected by a professional auto technician of your choice. Do not have your dad or the guy next door check the car either. What you need is someone that has the equipment and working knowledge to professionally inspect and report what is wrong with it currently and what can go wrong with that model of vehicle. To buy a car without going through this professional inspection process is like playing Russian roulette with your bank account, very risky. Be prepared to spend up to $135.00 for a car and more for a 4x4 or motor home inspection. Quite often the inspection process will reveal repairs which are required. With this information you can always negotiate a lower price if the seller really wants to sell. Then use the money you saved to have the vehicle repaired at a shop of your choice. Remember to check your tire pressure, this can save on fuel costs and add years to your lifespan.

Slash piles an increasing forest fire hazard Hydro assures they will be chipped

by Ne i l Corbet t staff reporter

Keep guard up

The fire hazard represented by slash piles on a powerline rightof-way through Maple Ridge is still a worry, despite B.C. Hydro reassuring local firefighters the material would be chipped and removed. Maple Ridge Fire Chief Peter Grootendorst said removal of the mounds of fallen trees and brush in Golden Ears Provincial Park was slated to begin this week, even though the forest fire hazard rating is high and some industrial activity in the forests is discouraged. “We’re encouraging them to get going,” Grootendorst said of Hydro crews. “It’s getting drier by the minute.” Hydro and its contractor Flatiron-Graham are building a new 247-km powerline from Merritt to Coquitlam. The right of way traverses the northern part of the district and through

Paul Lawson, Malcolm Knapp UBC Research Forest manager, fears the slash piles could fuel a major fire. Golden Ears, stretching 14 km and covering some 200 hectares. Grootendorst said members of the public, environmental groups and representatives of UBC’s Malcolm Knapp Research Forest have expressed concerns about slash piles left behind by the forest clearing – a drying fuel source that represents a significant fire hazard. Research forest manager Paul Lawson fears

the slash could fuel a major fire. If fire spread to the nearby research forest, tree-growing experiments spanning decades, could be wiped out. The forest is located at the north end of 232nd Street. Hydro has agreed to chip the material, and Grootendorst has asked the utility company to focus its clearing efforts on areas in close proximity to homes. Because of the height-

If conditions are deemed unsafe for the work, it will be halted by the Wildfire Management Branch. Grootendorst said he was told the work would start this week. But as of the end of Wednesday, he hadn’t seen “any ma-

Statistically, more wildfires occur when the forest fire hazard is rated ‘moderate.’ “People tend to let their guard down a little,” Grootendorst said, while at the same time the small, fine fuels such as dry grass are easily ignited. Now, with dry summertime temperatures, the rating is ‘high.’ He said people should use extreme caution with campfires or other fires. Make sure they have a shovel, bucket of water or some other means to extinguish it, and ensure any fire’s sparks are not going into a combustible fuel source. Barbecue charcoal can still be a hazard, and those using it should ensure it is cold before disposing of it. Cigarette butts still cause wildfires, and Grootendorst reminds people to safely dispose of all smoking materials.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It leaves the idea Corisa did something wrong, without the public being able to determine the merit of that claim.â&#x20AC;? In dealing with council about other matters, Read has noticed Bell is generally almost apologetic as she asks for more information, and believes the first-time councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s questions have not been well received. Read said the defamation claim raises a new concern that elected officials are expected to be careful in questioning or criticizing district staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the political process, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an expectation that there has to be a level of scrutiny applied in order for there to be rigour in the process,â&#x20AC;? she said. Can politicians hold staff members accountable publicly, she asks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where does that leave councillors down the road, when they have to push back to get information,â&#x20AC;? Read asks. Libel Lawyer David F. Sutherland previously said that recordings of public meetings have â&#x20AC;&#x153;qualified privilege,â&#x20AC;? meaning theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re largely protected from legal action from what was said at them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very wide protection for a fair and accurate report, which a videotape would be, of a council meeting,â&#x20AC;? under Sec. 4 of the Libel and Slander Act.â&#x20AC;? Read believes there is a good possibility her request to see the entire video will be denied, and she is prepared to pursue the matter at a higher level. She does FOI requests in her career, and is familiar with the process. Read said she hopes the mayor and council consider her request carefully, and with legal guidance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With all the hoopla, we deserve to see the video, and decide for ourselves.â&#x20AC;? Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin said the FOI process is handled confidentially. He would not comment on the matter, only that it will be handled by Deri Marlo, the manager of legislative services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council does not have any say in what information is supplied,â&#x20AC;? said the mayor.

Who’s next? From Ben Johnson to Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, then Barry Bonds, Marion Jones, Tim Drummond, Shawne Merriman, Floyd Landis and Lance Armstrong. Now three Jamaican sprinters and an American, all former world champions or past Olympic medalists, have tested positive for banned substances, performance enhancing stimulants. This list of athletes caught doping is much longer, dating back to at least the state-sponsored drug programs in East Germany that started in the 1960s. More are sure to be punished, once Major League Baseball’s investigation of the Biogenesis anti-aging clinic is complete. And who knows what other names this latest track scandal will shake out, as the trainer for two of the Jamaicans previously worked at a Canadian clinic with Anthony Galea, the doctor who plead guilty to trying to smuggle human growth hormone across the U.S. border to treat professional athletes. We know why these athletes do it, why they cheat – they want to make the team; they want to win; they want to be the best; they want fame and money. No matter the excuse, it is disappointing the level doping has reached, the extent of the cover up. It is at a point now where no one who sets a new standard or approaches one thought to be unobtainable is without suspicion. Chris Davis hit 37 home runs before the MLB allstar break, during which he revealed that he’s tested for drugs more than the rest of his teammates. Is that fair? Usain Bolt, the current record-holder in the men’s 100-metre sprint, cannot escape the scrutiny brought on by his teammates – if they were cheating, was he, too? One NFL player said earlier this year that HGH use the is rampant in his sport. The league and players association still have not agreed on a testing program. Why? A baseline for acceptable levels has not been set by the World Anti-Doping Agency. HGH is banned in the Olympics, as well as MLB and the Tour de France. Use can be detected in a blood test. But there exist masking agents and cleansing routines and even more science. Drug testing in professional hockey and soccer is also considered inadequate. So suspicion persists. And as long as it does, no fan will ever know whether what he or she is witnessing is real or not. No athlete will ever be able to measure him or herself against the supposed greats of the past, even the present. It’s a mirage. Knowing that, the sport becomes watching to see who will get caught next. That’s sports entertainment today. The real shame is that more young athletes, those still in high school, believe, that to achieve their dreams, they must use performance enhancing drugs or stimulants. It is known, and it is accepted. And so are some of the health risks. Yes, the rewards can be great. Ask Ben Johnson about the fall from grace. Does anyone care anymore? – The News

When the Pitt ditch cells are all full E

very cloud has a silver lining. For Pitt Meadows, it might be turning the ditch goop – wet, organic slurry it uses to widen and strengthen local dikes – into hard cash, while reducing the household and industrial trash this Along the Fraser mix contains. Until now, TVs, tires, Jack Emberly plastic barrels, industrial and household garbage wantonly discarded by drive-by polluters have been sunk into the dike along with the good stuff. The garbage came as a surprise for council. “This is inappropriate,” remarked Mayor Deb Walters on June 9, when I showed pictures of trash in watery holes that resembled quicksand. “It looks unsafe to me for kids playing around here,” Coun. Tracy Miyashita said of the cells. Coun. Bruce Bell thought so, too. “If my dog fell into one of those holes, I’d jump in right after it,” remarked Coun. Gwen O’Connell. What pet lover wouldn’t? Some wouldn’t come out. On June 16, Public works supervisor Randy Evans told council: “We have to warn people of the fill site.” He’d “review the fencing to make it safer. “Perhaps we could consider steel fencing

uestion of the week:

and panels.” It won’t happen. Evans will erect a gate at one end of the cells, where trucks dump their loads. It will be closed at the end of work. But steel fences would cost $22,000. “That’s not in the budget,” said Walters. ‘Red’ snow fencing, advised operations director Kim Grout, was sufficient warning of danger. She thought vandals would probably push over the steel fence, anyhow. Response to the garbage problem was more positive. “We can do a better job of keeping that material out of there,” said Evans. “We have to get there more often to get that stuff out.” He’s instructed his staff to make it a priority. But, back to the goop, a story that started out across the horizon like an ominous dark cloud with news from Evans that Neaves Road dike east – the last of four locations the city could use as fill sites, will soon be at capacity. It has, in fact, only five years left. West Neaves Road dike, which the city began to fill 15 years ago, is already full. I shudder to think what might be buried there. News of this vanishing timeline, presented to council July 16 by Evans, was greeted with surprise. “After the fourth site is full,” asked Walters, “ what’s next?” Trucking it elsewhere, explained Evans, would cost $100-$125 a box, or up to $300,000 yearly. But, that wouldn’t work, anyhow.

Are public libraries still relevant? Yes: 86% – No: 14% (37 votes)

“It’s difficult to find a site for the fill product,” he explained. “It’s too soft for building on top of and in most other places [outside the city], organic stuff isn’t accepted.” It has to stay in Pitt Meadows. There is an expectation that cities everywhere in Canada will dispose of their organic material within their boundaries. This is where the clouds separate, thanks to question period in council. “The fill is mostly organic material,” noted local resident Mike Stark, who sits on the agricultural committee. “Can it be composted and sold?” The answer is, yes. The Compost Council of Canada, a non-profit that encourages municipalities to compost for environmental sustainability while making extra cash. Many do. Organic matter is now considered a resource. The humus-like product can be used in agriculture, horticulture, landscaping, and home gardening. Coun. Bell thinks composting ditch slurry should be broached with staff. “We haven’t gone down that road yet,” he told me. But,“there might be a business opportunity here. We could give it away, take it to the garden centre, or sell it as compost.” Questions would have to be asked, said Bell. “Where would you put it? Where could trucks come in and dump the slop. We’d need some money to build holding areas.” Five years isn’t a long lead time for planning. One wonders why the subject wasn’t discussed and investigated before now.

This week’s question: Are you concerned about a potential disaster along the CP Rail tracks?

The News/letters

www.mapleridgenews.com - THE NEWS -- Friday, July 19, 2013 -- 7

Organizers of the 13th annual Caribbean Festival in Maple Ridge responded to a request from vendors to turn down the sound a bit.

online comments Dangers of cycling • Renee Speck · Mission Senior Secondary: Re: Don’t waste money on building more bike lanes (mapleridgenews.com). I ride my bike every day and find it dangerous. There are branches from over-hanging tree branches hitting me in the head. Blackberry branches, over grown hedges, cutting me. This is along major roads in town. The fact that I am mixed in with people, poles, benches, cans, is absurd. There aren’t many safe places to park my bike, either. Pedestrians get angry with me when I come up behind them on my bike. I will keep taking my shopping to other communities ...

I like to bike • Renita Kieneker de Haan · Maple Ridge: Re: Don’t waste money on building more bike lanes (mapleridgenews.com). I bring home groceries all the time. I visit the home of family and friends by bike. I bike to church. I bike for fun. I bike to be environmentally friendly. I bike to be health friendly. I would really love to see a proper bike infrastructure to encourage this excellent choice of transportation.

Support cycling • Jack Choules · Pitt Meadows: Re: Don’t waste money on building more bike lanes (mapleridgenews.com). Pitt Meadows is generally well-served by bike lanes and bike paths. I use them every day. I would like to ride my bike into Maple Ridge more often but there are still dangerous gaps in the district’s bike lane network. I hope Maple Ridge will complete its bicycle network and that local businesses will support their bicycle-riding customers by providing bike racks.

Worth the cost • Sean Orcutt: Re: Don’t waste money on building more bike lanes (mapleridgenews.com). I don’t ride my bike very often, because the local infrastructure is so poor. I regularly drive in the Maple Ridge area and due to this driving experience, and my interactions with other drivers, I do not feel safe riding my bike on the streets of Maple Ridge. If we build safe places for people to ride their bikes, I’m confident that many people, like myself, will take advantage of it and get in better shape as a result. The return is well worth the cost.

Crosswalks not decoration Editor, The News: This goes out to all you rude drivers who don’t stop for crosswalks. I have seen a lot of drivers who don’t stop for the seniors who are in wheel chairs, use a cane, or a walker. Instead of stopping, they speed up. I have lived in six cities in B.C. and I have to say, Maple Ridge and Chilliwack have the rudest drivers for not stopping. You have to remember, they put the walk signs there for a reason. They are not there for decoration. Cathy Schneider Maple Ridge

It’s the idea of accountability Emberly from p6

Did previous councils know Neaves Road was a fill site, the last of four? Was a timeline discussed with staff and passed along to the current council? Did anyone bring up appropriate safety measures – ones that could fit the budget, while reassure safety better than flimsy red snow fences? Could folks have brainstormed cost-shaving alternate measures? You hear, ‘we need to trust staff.’ I agree. But in that approach, another idea often sinks from sight like a stone in a bottomless cell. It’s the idea of accountability. Folks voted into office should set and monitor policies, which then guide staff practices – especially on issues such as environmental sustainability, public safety, how to spend money. The public expects it. What was it U.S. President Harry Truman said? “The buck stops here.” It should. Especially if it’s the taxpayer’s dollar. Jack Emberly is a retired teacher, local author and environmentalist.

Caribbean Fest ‘touch’ of class Editor, The News: Re: Sun and songs at lucky 13th Caribbean Fest (The News, July 17). I would like to thank the organizers for producing a very professional and well co-

ordinated Caribbean Festival this year. My impressions of the work involved at this event was very positive as a vendor selling specialized designed women’s clothing from South

East Asia and India. I surveyed other individual full-time vendors and they shared my views about “turning the sound down a touch” for it was a challenge, as a soft spoken individual, to con-

duct personal business during this event. I offer my sincere best wishes as a for another successful Caribbean Days next year. Steven Kent Curry Vancouver

Governments need to control borrowing Editor, The News: Re: Get ready for Hydro rate hikes (B.C. Views, July 10). Yes, the B.C. Hydro rate increase tsunami is coming after the earthquake of B.C. government debt. This will hit lower income people – hard. All levels of government are increasing fees and service rates rather than raise income taxes on those who can contribute more and pay more property tax. I don’t want to see any drastic action to increase job loss, but governments at all levels need to limit their spending growth to the level of inflation and get borrowing under control. Phil Harrison Comox

End electric car subsidies Editor, The News: Re: Get ready for Hydro rate hikes (B.C. Views, July 10). Tom Fletcher’s article reiterates what we have been told for some time. A large part of the future B.C. Hydro rate increase is caused by the fact that expansion of generating facilities delivers new power at a rate higher than today’s rates. However, the government is bribing people to switch to electric cars, contributing to consumption increases which will cause rate increases for us all. Provincial consumption is also high because, although the E-Plus contracts with residential customers expired decades ago, the government is choosing to grandfather the half-price electric heat offer for political reasons. Also, some large government build-

ings are still being heated this way. At the same time, the minister is telling us that we are producing more natural gas than we need, so we should be consuming large amounts of energy to compress it and ship it overseas. Should the first step not be to switch to natural gas-powered cars, natural gas heating for almost all homes where possible, and for all large government buildings? The grant money for electric car purchases should be diverted to incentives for this move. Right now, electric cars are causing the burning of fuels at distant power plants anyway, because that is where our ‘last watt’ comes from. Rein Nienaber Saanich

Investment needed Editor, The News: Re: Get ready for Hydro rate hikes (B.C. Views, July 10). While NDP energy critic John Horgan asserts there is no business case for a nation building project like the Northwest Transmission Line, a line that will bring power to a huge part of the province currently running off diesel generators, our government believes investments such as this are exactly what B.C. Hydro should be doing. This project will open up world class mineral deposits and support new mines, like Red Chris, one of the Top 10 copper gold deposits in the world. In fact, the Mining Association of B.C. estimates the line could attract more than $15 billion in mining investment, creating up to 10,000 jobs and generating $300 million in annual tax revenues.

None of this happens unless we build the line to provide the power these mines need. We need to ensure we have a diverse grid that can provide reliable power today, and into the future. That’s why we continue to support new, cleaner sources of power such as wind and run of river. Do these sources produce power at a higher cost than what our heritage assets do? Of course they do. Like most other things, it costs more today to produce power than it did decades ago. But these sources are cleaner than alternatives such as coal or gas, and less expensive than building new hydroelectric dams. We are investing in projects that are powering our needs today and ensuring we will have the power we need for our future. The unprecedented opportunity in liquefied natural gas and other growing sectors such as mining must be supported with stable, secure power. This is what we are building. You can’t make these kinds of legacy investments that will benefit all British Columbians without putting pressure on rates. Contrary to some reports, B.C. Hydro is managing its capital projects within its planned budget. There are a couple of projects over budget, but most are under. I have been clear that my mandate, as given to me by the premier, is to minimize rate increases while continuing to make historic investments in Hydro’s infrastructure to grow our economy. I am committed to accomplishing this goal. Bill Bennett Minister of Energy and Mines

Search and rescue volunteers used ropes to reach the man and pulled him to safety using a basket stretcher, with help from firefighters. Spence said the rescue took almost two hours because of the steep terrain. He cautioned people against climbing over fences to access the falls.

Two much-anticipated new recreation facilities will be coming to the Albion area soon. The new Albion Mountain Bike Skills Park will be located in Albion Park, fronting 102nd Avenue, in the southeast corner of the park. Sylvia Pendl, District of Maple Ridge parks planning technician, explained the park is designed to be a place where riders of all levels can learn and advance in their cycling skills, practising on a variety of features, similar in use and function to a skateboard park. Pendl said people can’t wait for this park. Construction is under way, and people are taking their bikes to the park at night to try out the features – something she is discouraging. “It will be substantially complete in a week or two,” said Pendl. The enthusiasm is understandable. “This community has a great history of outdoor trail use and mountain biking,” she said. The parks department finds jumps and other features that people have constructed in parks throughout the district, and these often have to be “decommissioned” for safety reasons. “This provides a more managed area, and it’s for beginners to experts,” she said. “You can bring your kids there, and you can also

ride and be challenged.” As park projects go, it is not expensive. The budget for the park started at $20,000, and has risen to $40,000. “That’s been a challenge, but people have contributed a lot to this project,” said Pendl. It will have many of the features that are popular at bike skills parks in other communities, such as Langley. There will be a pump track, dirt jumps, graduated drops with wooden features, a trials area – which is an obstacle course with natural and manmade features, and a trail will circumnavigate the entire park. There will also be ladder bridges that go up or down, and are designed to protect certain natural areas. “It’ll be a great asset,” predicts Pendl. “People have been asking about this park for a long time.” Stan Hunter of the Fraser Valley Mountain Biking Association has been working with the district on the project. On a Facebook page for the new park, called Maple Ridge Bike Skills Park, he announced a Sept. 28 official opening. “Want to ask as well that you all keep an eye on here for the next few weeks as we will be putting a call out for volunteers to assist in the final touches. There will be some final shaping on features to be done, signage to be installed and some “re-greening” in the form of plants, seeding and brush management,” he said on the page. The work is being done by

contractor Cory Derpak of ESP Parks.

Water park Construction is also set to start on a new water park at Albion Sports Complex, which will be located just off the main parking area along 105th Avenue. Bruce McLeod, district manager of parks planning and development, explained that it will be a 15,000-square-foot park, which is a little smaller than other spray parks in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. It will feature common spray equipment, as well as a new play element that will make it unique. This will be a water runnel – a concrete channel with a pair of weirs that children can use to change the water level. They will be able to float boats, use a hand pump and there will be a sand area. “It’s all to create opportunities for creative play for children,” said McLeod. He said some of the features at the new park have been used successfully at a spray park in New Westminster. The budget for the new facility is $315,000. Because many of the elements at the park do not involve children having water sprayed at them, he said kids will still be able to play in the park after summertime weather. The park is designed for children aged toddler to 12. Work is beginning soon, and the taps will be turned on in September.

SPCA offers new spay, neuter program Six-year-old Smoky looks out from his enclosure at the Maple Ridge SPCA branch on Thursday.

by T i m Fitzg e r ald contributor

The Maple Ridge branch of the SPCA and Katie’s Place are partnering together for low-cost spay and neuter surgeries for cats. The program was made possible after the district committed $35,000 per year for the next three years to deal with the issue. Katie’s Place, a registered charity, opened in 2001 and takes in mostly stray and feral cats with the hopes of finding them a home. The spay and neuter program is open to Maple Ridge residents who can’t afford the normal price of a surgery. The program will also target feral cats throughout neighbourhoods around Maple Ridge. The SPCA and Katie’s Place hope to see 400 cats sterilized, as well as tattooed as permanent identification through the program. Local veterinarians, including Alouette Animal Hospital, Dewdney Animal Hospital, EastRidge Animal Hospital and Maple Ridge Veterinarian Hospital, are taking part in the program. “We are so excited that Maple Ridge continues to take preventative measures to keep cat overpopulation from getting out of control,” said Jennifer York, Maple Ridge SPCA branch manager. “Identification by tattoo or microchip also gives us the ability to return a cat to his home more quickly, allowing us space to help more cats.” York estimates the

For community news first, go to SPCA has more than 30 cats in its care, almost half of which are kittens. She said overpopulation of cats in the area also stems from the fact that a kitten can have a litter by the time it is six moths old. “Not a lot of people realize that. It’s important that people have their cat spayed or neutered early,” said York. Tracey Bon, a volunteer at Katie’s Place, said she appreciates the District of Maple Ridge’s progressive approach to the issue. Katie’s Place currently has more than 100 cats at the shelter and another 100 in care throughout Maple Ridge. “Right now we are on the high-side. It’s kind of the perfect storm with a high number of surrenders this summer,” she said. Maple Ridge has had a cat bylaw in place since 1999, mandating that all cats have identification and be spayed or neutered, unless owners have a cat-breeding permit. See Cats, p12

‘Pitt Meadows short one councillor on normal occasions’ members of a municipal council. “My decision is to do what had been recommended by the premier and not to resign until January,” said Bing, adding that Coun. Janis Elkerton did the same thing a few years prior. Elkerton was a sitting councillor in 2008 when health problems forced her to step down nine months before a civic election. She was re-elected to council in 2011 and took exception to Bing’s comment at Tuesday’s meeting. “Mine was medical and I resigned,” Elkerton said following Tuesday’s meeting. “I did not take a leave of absence. Mine was only for nine months versus his 18 months and I fully fulfilled my council duties, not just show up sporadically.” Warren Byrnell, president of the Korea Veterans Association, joined Murray in his criticism of Bing’s decision to remain on council until January. He wondered how Bing would not be in a conflict, especially at

the upcoming Union of B.C. Municipalities meeting, where civic politicians often lobby MLAs for grants. “He is really working for two masters, not just one,” said Byrnell. “I don’t think it’s right, in all fairness, to the rest of the councillors. I am requesting that he have another good look at it and put more thought on what the drawbacks are.” Pitt Meadows council recently denied Bing’s request for a leave of absence, leaving the decision to resign or stay on council up to him. Coquitlam city council voted 4-2 in favour of holding a by-election in October to replace councillors Linda Reimer, who won as a Liberal in Port MoodyCoquitlam and Selina Robinson, elected for the NDP in CoquitlamMaillardville. Election costs in Coquitlam are estimated to run around $150,000. Penticton Mayor Dan Ashton, who was elected as an Liberal MLA, has offered to cover the cost of his own by-election, putting up $35,000

of his own money. Langley, however, won’t be replacing its

mayor. Its council voted against filling Peter Fassbender’s seat, leav-

ing the mayor’s chair open for the next 16 months. Fassbender

won in Surrey/Fleetwood under the Liberal banner.

To retain his place as a councillor, Bing only has to return to the city for council duties every 59 days. “We are short one councillor on normal occasions,” said Tom Murray, a resident who is currently spearheading a zero tax increase petition. “Would you be prepared to cover the cost of a by-election to enable a worthy candidate to fill the position of councillor,” he asked Bing. “What happens until next fall is we are one councillor short.” City staff estimate a by-election will cost $15,000. Bing is forgoing his councillor’s salary until he resigns. Mayor Deb Walters intervened following Murray’s question, telling the audience that Bing was able to hold both positions under B.C.’s Community Charter. Bing responded by saying Pitt Meadows was not unique in its dilemma. Out of the 24 new MLAs, 12 are currently

CP140 Long Range maritime patrol aircraft from CFB Comox will perform fly-pasts during airport day Sunday.

RC Air Force, Navy at Pitt airport day contributed

Pitt Meadows Airport Day will feature some of the country’s top maritime aircraft as the Royal Canadian Air Force and Navy will be on hand for Sunday’s annual event, marking the 50th anniversary of the airport. The event will feature the CP140 long range maritime patrol aircraft from 407 Squadron, stationed at Canadian Forces Base in Comox, B.C. The aircraft is re-

sponsible for patrolling vast areas of the Pacific Ocean and Arctic. The aircraft and crew will be deploying to Japan shortly after the show to participate in Canadian National Defence’s Driftnet surveillance patrol, which is aimed at controlling drift-netting and other illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing in the North Pacific Ocean. The aircraft will perform numerous fly-bys at the airport. Also appearing will be

the CH149 Cormorant search and rescue helicopter from 442 Squadron, also based at CFB Comox. The helicopter crew will be demonstrating techniques used in rescue operations. The CH124 Sea King Helicopter from 443 Squadron based at Victoria International Airport is also tentatively scheduled to make an appearance. The aircraft will be open to inspection and will also demonstrate the methods used to conduct underwater surveillance. The

aircraft accompanies the Canadian navel frigates when on operation around the world. The airport gates will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The theme for the day will be careers in aviation. The family-oriented event will feature a number of commercial and aviation related booths. In addition, there will be free flights for children and discounted adult flights. There will also be a show and shine featuring local classic cars.

A Vital Gift

Summer Carnival

Supporting the SPCA

The Fire Department made a welcome appearance at the Kanaka Creek Elementary School Second Annual Summer Carnival last week. Sadie LeSueur was pleased to lend a helping hand.

Highland Park Elementary raised $398.20 during a 5k walk/run in support of the SPCA.

The team on 3 West were thrilled to have a visitor bringing a wonderful gift – a new Vital Signs monitor! “During my recent rather harrowing time in RMH I can honestly say we have the best and very dedicated staff, however I noticed that some of the equipment they have to work with is both antiquated or broken down. Rather than send flowers or chocolate I wanted to thank them with a gift that benefits both patients and nurses alike for years to come” said Dr. Terwiel about his contribution. Julie Prueter from the Ridge Meadow’s Quilters Guild generously presented one of six handcrafted quilts to Susanne Lamb, Coordinator of Bereavement Support Services at the Ridge Meadows Hospice Society. The quilts will be used at the Society’s next Children’s Bereavement Support Program, provided free of charge to local residents.

Vistas Walk/Run a Success! The Ridge Meadows Hospice Society recently held its 16th annual Vistas Family Walk, 5k or10k Run. The event was a success because of the volunteers, runners and walkers that raised funds and the business community for their sponsorship: • Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows News • Integrated Nutrition Canada • Maple Ridge Chrysler Jeep Dodge • London Drugs • Running Room Trumps • Maple Ridge Massage Therapy Clinic • Kintec Footwear & Orthotics • What’s On Magazine • GM Restaurant

Making it Happen The Make a Wish Foundation received over $8,000 from the “Make It Happen” Fashion Show held this spring. Funds were raised from ticket sales, cash donations and a silent auction in support of Connor’s Cancer Warriors to grant a wish to a child who is undergoing cancer treatment. Thanks to G&G Music for the DJ services, performer Amanda Wood, Crazy About Clothes for the fashions and Mico’s Swimwear for the swimsuits.

Volunteer Training Program The North Fraser Therapeutic Riding Association (NFTRA) received the second of four $7500 installments of a $30,000 grant from The Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation to revitalize the volunteer recruitment/coordination program and create a sustainable volunteer training program. Each week NFTRA provides therapeutic horseback riding lessons to 85 disabled riders. To ensure the safety of our riders as well as our volunteers, volunteer training and recruitment is critical.

Making most of hand we are dealt A s an educator, I have taken a keen interest in understanding how the brain develops in young people. Obviously, with the intent of enhancing that development in positive ways, my goal has been to understand how best to engage and support appropriate development, much of which I might add, is very natural. At my age, and having had to deal with the significant aging issues of my parents, I have become interested in the cognitive functions of the elderly, the unwinding of all the development that took place in youth. While much of how the brain works remains a mystery, current technology and the sharing of information through scholarly research posted on the internet has provided much more insight into brain processes in the last couple of decades. The next step is what to do with those insights to reduce the negative impacts of neural decline. There is much information available on Alzheimer’s, and the fear attached to it has helped it become an umbrella term used for any decline in mental functioning. But virtually every aging person will experience some change in processing efficiency, while only a small portion (13 per cent) will actually exhibit the more extreme levels of loss associated with Alzheimer’s. When we are young, the lack

mental. Thinking negatively weakens and depresses us, lowers our body’s immune system, as well as increases pain and stress. Research has shown that stress can cause certain symptoms or diseases. It has been linked to heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, and liver disease. Negative thinking causes a negative reaction in our bodies and coping abilities.

2. Replace negative thoughts by focusing on good things – at times you may struggle to think good thoughts. Read Philippians 4:8 until you can think of at least one thing that applies. “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.” 3. Make a daily decision to think good thoughts – a friend who attends my group for women with illness recently commented that she was going to stop any “negative chitchat” that she had in her mind. She emphatically stated, “No more negative chit-chat.” We must make a daily decision to control our thoughts and ask the Lord to help us. As we turn to Him, we will be strengthened and gain new hope and perspective.

my word for it, look at Proverbs 17, verse 22 in the Bible: “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” That being true, what can we do to eliminate negative and hopeless thinking? Again, I found the answer in God’s Word and created these three steps: 1. Pray and give thanks – bring your problems to God and thank Him daily. In Philippians 4, verses 6 and 7, we are told: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Prayer and thankfulness transformed my life. As I thanked God for what I could still do (instead of focusing on what I could no longer do), my attitude changed. I went from despair, to thankfulness, to hope.

22 -- Friday, July 19, 2013 -- THE NEWS - www.mapleridgenews.com petition or collect signatures. Larsen, who was involved with the B.C. Marijuana Party before seeking the leadership of the B.C. NDP in 2011, has worked for the last year to build support for what he calls Sensible B.C. His organization will have

90 days from Sept. 9 to collect signatures from 10 per cent of registered provincial voters in each of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts. If that threshold is reached, Elections B.C. would hold a province-wide initiative vote, likely by mail as was done to repeal the HST. Decriminalizing pot has received mainstream support in recent years, including a narrow majority vote at the 2012 Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. In a debate at that convention in Victoria last September, former B.C. Liberal attorney general Geoff Plant advocated for loosening marijuana laws, as has since been done in the U.S. states of Washington and Colorado. The idea was opposed by criminologist Darryl Plecas, who was elected B.C. Liberal MLA for Abbotsford South in the May provincial election.

Carbon credit costs add up

The Vancouver Coastal and Fraser health authorities spent more than $1 million each on carbon offsets last year. A provincial government report detailing the mandated purchases shows UBC spent the most on offsets – $1.7 million – while school districts spent a combined $4.5 million, led by the Surrey School District at $523,000 and Vancouver at $427,000. Government bodies must buy carbon offsets through B.C.’s Pacific Carbon Trust to make up for their own greenhouse gas emissions as part of the province’s policy of carbon neutrality launched by former premier Gordon Campbell. Offsets bought in 2012 totalled $18.8 million, with health authorities making up the single largest contributing sector at $5.7 million. Critics have called the program a waste of scarce public sector money as schools and hospitals can’t eliminate their own emissions to avoid the charges. An audit of the Pacific Carbon Trust also found some of the made-in-B.C. offset projects that received funds did not credibly reduce emissions. Premier Christy Clark has directed new Environment Minister Mary Polak to reform the offset system.

Reducing residential speed limits would increase safety A

t the upcoming Union of B.C. Municipalities Convention in September, the City of Victoria is putting forward a resolution proposing a reduction of the maximum speed limit on all B.C. residential roads from 50 to 40 km/h. This initiative is led by Coun. Shellie Gudgeon, who says a majority of Victoria residents are supportive, but admits that there is some strong opposition from the very vocal autocentric crowd. The Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities has given its support to the proposal. The arguments in favour of reducing the speed limit are obvious. The probability of pedestrian fatality is 20 per cent at an impact speed of 40 km/h, and at 50 km/h it’s 80 per cent. A slower speed will improve the reaction time of drivers as well the breaking distance. Of course, 50 km/h is not an appropriate speed for residential streets, which should be primarily for people, not just for cars.

to be a problem. In Vancouver, roads that are designated as bike routes have maximum speeds of 30 km/h, whereas in Maple Ridge this is 50 km/h. Especially on bike routes where bicycles share the road with cars, it Cycling makes sense to reduce the Jackie Chow speed limits to 30 km/h, so that cyclists of all ages and abilities will feel comfortable using them. According to a recent HUB membership survey, a mandatory 30 km/h speed limit on all residential streets designated as bike routes is among the Top 5 issues. As I explained last month, the key word for cycling is separation. Our HUB committee

Stay

is proposing 30 km/h speed limits in the Maple Ridge town core. Reduced speeds would make the downtown a much more pedestrian, cycling and shopping friendly environment. Some of our downtown streets are very wide, and even with crosswalks it can still be daunting for seniors and others who take a little more time to cross the street when cars go 50 km/h or sometimes even faster. Also, drivers tend to have tunnel-vision when going faster and look more for other fast-moving objects such as cars, but are less likely to notice pedestrians trying to cross the street. I suspect the RCMP

are most likely not in favour of lowering speed limits, since it would be difficult to enforce. When determining maximum speed limits, how fast people tend to drive on a certain road tends to be an important factor. If drivers seem to feel that 50 km/h is a safe speed, then those who are tasked with enforcing the laws are more likely to recommend those speeds be used as maximum speed limits, even if they’re not ideal. A good way to encourage drivers to obey the traffic rules is by changing the geometric road design. Poor road design – very wide and straight road – often seduces drivers to speed. Apart from narrower car lanes or making roads less straight, for example changing the curve radii, adding

active this summer.

Write to your mayor and council to ask them to vote in favour of the resolution for a provincial 40 km/h speed limit on all resi-

dential roads. Jackie Chow is a member of the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows chapter of HUB.

IN THE GAME

“A slower speed will improve the reaction time of drivers as well the breaking distance.” The only time that cars need to be on residential roads is when they are leaving home, returning home, or visiting. Residential streets are not meant to be used by cars that are just passing through. Traffic speed on arterials wouldn’t be affected by this proposal and would still be 50 km/h unless posted otherwise. Inconvenience and loss of time for drivers are going to be minimal, whereas it significantly improves safety for residents, pedestrians and cyclists. Complaints about speeding seem to have increased in various neighbourhoods, but municipalities are often reluctant to put up costly signs with lower speed limits on roads where speeding tends

bulb-outs (which reduces the distance for pedestrians to cross the road) and adding street trees can also help to slow cars down.

Living the bright life at Imani Development’s Shine The sun is shining on Vancouver’s South Main neighbourhood with Shine, the newest condominium development from Imani Development. Featuring a range of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom floorplans ranging from around 500 to over 1,300 square feet, the 90 homes are exclusive and luxurious, with amazing views overlooking False Creek, downtown Vancouver and the North Shore mountains. The homes are situated on a quiet residential street, so you’re away from the noise and bustle of Main Street.

The contemporary kitchens feature high-gloss white upper cabinets with wood grain or high-gloss white lower cabinets, complemented by a quartz stone countertop, ceramic tile backsplash and stainless-steel appliances. Wide-plank birch laminate flooring is included throughout the main living areas, with carpeting in the bedrooms. The bathrooms could be featured in a spa, with their deep soaker tubs, ceramic tile bathtub and shower surround and modern white or wood-grain cabinetry.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Buyers are able to choose between two designer colour schemes, and each suite includes a laundry area with a washer and dryer, for an extra little bit of convenience. The South Main neighourhood has been growing rapidly over the past few years, and Shine is perfectly situated to take advantage of all the amenities the area has to offer. You will be within walking distance of schools, shopping, dining and transit, as well as leisure and recreation opportunities. Vancouver’s Olympic Village and the SeaWall are nearby, making it easy to get a bit of outdoor exercise if you’re in the mood. There are also several yoga studios and parks, along with two community centres within easy reach. You’ll also find a large outdoor courtyard with a seating lounge, fire pit, barbecue area and portable outdoor movie screen on the property itself, as well as a rooftop deck with gorgeous city views, and an expansive lobby. For more information, visit www.liveatshine.com, call 604-874-7478 or visit the sales centre at 2152 Main Street, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m., or by appointment.

The homes at G3 include stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and spacious open floorplans. The project will encompass three buildings, with all construction expected to be completed by next summer. Residents will also have access to a residents lounge with a gym, fireside lounge and a guest suite, among other amenities.

Affordable lifestyle living in Guildford By Kerry Vital

Surrey’s Guildford neighbourhood is quickly becoming a vibrant place to live, work and play. Now, G3 Developments is adding to the excitement with G3. With three buildings and 155 condominium suites in a range of studio,

one-bedroom, one-bedroom-and-den and two-bedroom floorplans, three is definitely a lucky number for G3, located just steps away from anything you could possibly need. “You can walk to everything,” says sales manager Margaret Bird. “There’s easy access” to the rest of the Lower Mainland via the Port Mann Bridge, along with the convenience of living near Guildford Town Centre and the Guildford Recreation Centre and Library. You’re also within walking distance of parks, schools, shopping and restaurants, and just minutes away from Surrey City Centre by car. The homes at G3 are spacious and modern, with stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms and a convenient eating bar perfect for a quick bite in the morning or as a place to gather while entertaining. The ceiling mount

track lighting and pendant lights in the kitchen easily illuminate your tasks. The bathrooms feature a quartz backsplash to complement the countertops, as well as wall mount vanity lights, soaker bathtubs and semi-frameless glass shower stalls and a sleek undermount sink. Buyers can choose between two designer colour schemes, Sterling and Onyx. The homes include nine-foot ceilings (higher on the top floors), laminate hardwood flooring in the main living areas and lush carpeting in the bedrooms, along with a stacking front-load washer and dryer and storage and parking for every home. Residents will also have access to the G3 residents lounge, which will include a gym, fireside lounge and a guest suite, among other things.

The biggest draw for buyers so far has been the value they get for their money. “These price points are attractive,” Bird says, adding that first-time buyers have been particularly interested. She has also seen longtime area residents looking at the homes as part of their downsizing plans. “They want to live near their kids, but not actually with them,” she says. The first phase, called Premiere, has been selling well and Bird notes that buyers there will be able to move into their new home in March 2014. The second and third phases, Encore and Finale respectively, will be completely finished by next summer. Homes at G3 start at $139,900 for a studio, $169,900 for a one-bedroom and $219,900 for a two-bedroom. For more information, go to g3living.ca, call 604-588-8238 or visit the showroom at 10439 154th Street, Surrey, open every day except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

Decoding the English cottage garden By Mike Lascelle

t’s safe to say that no two English cottage gardens look quite the same, nor should they, as this would break the cardinal design rule of ‘everything goes, but with moderation’. By that I mean that you would be hardpressed to find mass plantings of any single shrub or perennial in these gardens, as no one element is emphasized over the other. Rather, the plants are tastefully blended together to both compliment and contrast their varying flower colours, foliage types and overall structure. Despite its seemingly random appearance, this sort of design aesthetic can be difficult to achieve without an intimate knowledge of ongoing seasonal colour and growth habits, in order to create an ever-changing series of landscape vignettes. These clusters usually involve two to three plants that bloom at the same time, becoming the focal point of the garden. While they eventually fade, the adjacent groupings come into flower and in turn demand your attention. So in a well-designed English cottage garden, you never really notice the faded display, as your eye is always drawn towards the nearby flowers. So how does one achieve an English state of mind, that Gertrude Jekyll-esque sensibility that allows one to combine plant colours as easily as others blend mojitos? You could start by having a few ice cold Guinness (my favourite Anglo-Irish technique), or a bracing cup of Earl Grey tea, watching a little Monty Python’s Flying Circus (or Coronation Street if you like) and eating a steak and kidney pie. Or you could just stand back and try to soak in the essential elements of the often misunderstood English cottage garden. Let’s start with the seemingly random nature of this design – a closer examination will reveal groupings of smaller perennials for greater visual impact, with the larger vertical elements being repeated only at some distance. Typical examples of the latter include hollyhocks (alcea), lavatera, delphiniums, lilies and foxglove (digitalis), while the smaller-scaled pinks (dianthus), scabiosa, primulas and English lavender are often grouped tightly for better visual effect. Easy care, self-seeding perennials such as

(Clockwise from left) A wooden obelisk obscured by hollyhocks and campanula lactiflora; hydrangea aspera and lilium ‘African Queen’ combination; and rosa ‘Sweet Juliet.’

rose campion (lychnis coronaria), columbine or granny’s bonnet (aquilegia vulgaris), lupines and sea holly (eryngium planum) also play an important role in larger cottage gardens where open spaces need to be colonized by flowering perennials instead of the noxious weeds. Of course, we shouldn’t forget the shrubs, and hydrangeas of every stripe are an integral part of any authentic English cottage garden. Your choices here include mophead-types (H. macrophylla), oak leaf (H. quercifolia), lacecap species (H. serrata and aspera), peegee forms (H. paniculata) and the rounded white or pink blooms of smooth hydrangea or H. arborescens. Roses also come into play and you might as

The best designed English cottage gardens have meandering pathways, so that the view changes with perspective and plants can be appreciated both at close quarters and at a distance. Structures such as arbors, pergolas and obelisks play a secondary role, as their presence

The News/sports Lineman on track to an NCAA position Section coordinator: Neil Corbett 604-467-1122 ext. 216

newsroom@mapleridgenews.com

Football star spends summer with track club by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

ason Woods stands out as a big guy on a football field. At a practice with the kids of the Golden Ears Track and Field club, he’s an absolute spectacle. The six-foot-nine, 335-pound lineman sprints down the track, like a Clydesdale racing thoroughbreds, some kids barely up to his waist. But he’s not there to win races, just to get faster, and ultimately win a starting spot in an NCAA lineup. “There was a lot I was doing wrong,” says the affable giant. “I didn’t realize running was so intricate.” His knees are higher, his arms are pumping, other changes in his stride are happening, and he has dropped a couple of points off his 40-metre sprint. He’ll never line up at running back, but he’s confident the increased speed is going to pay dividends. “You can apply running to everything we do,” he said. The local boy went to school at Maple Ridge secondary for Grades 8-9, but he wasn’t a football star yet. “I had more of a basketball drive back then,”

Colleen Flanagan/thE nEwS

Mason Woods has been doing speed work with the Golden Ears Track and Field Club this summer, hoping to win a spot on an NCAA football roster. he said. But as he grew, and discovered football, Woods wanted to be part of a gridiron program, and got the opportunity to play for the always tough Terry Fox Ravens in Port Coquitlam for Grades 11 and 12. “They have a long legacy of great teams.” He played on both sides of the ball, and

was part of an outstanding defence. His first year there, Fox lost the provincial championship game to Vancouver College. His Grade 12 year was with a younger team that did not get that far in the playoffs. He was the team captain, and finished the season with 30 tackles and eight sacks. His big success was a

full-ride NCAA scholarship with the Idaho Vandals. They flew him out to Moscow, Idaho for an official visit in February of his graduating year. He met the players, and saw an opportunity to jump into a building program. “I wanted to be part of the change coming up,” he said. Last year he red-shirt-

ed, which meant a lot of practicing and weight training, but no playing time. He takes it in stride, knowing he is a teenager up against men 23 and 24 years old, who have been working on their games longer than him. Even this year he may not get an opportunity to play. “In high school, you can get away with just

being big, or just being strong,” he said. He has a lot to learn about football, lining up opposite American kids who have been playing the game since they were five or six years old. Things he has to remember are automatic to them. “You don’t realize how much thinking goes into football,” he said. Then there are all

the little tricks that a lineman has to know to give himself an edge – like footwork, head placement, the angle their knees should be bent to. Now when he watches pro football, he doesn’t watch the ball as much as he watches the linemen – the battle in the trenches. There’s a lot to learn, but he’s soaking it in. “I’ve really enjoyed it, it’s a great experience.” On a typical school day, Woods does class for four hours, followed by an hour and a half in the gym, about an hour of film, practice for two or three more hours, ending with about another hour in the film room. “My goal this year is to make the travel squad, and get my list numbers up,” he said. He is bench pressing about 330 pounds – which is a very respectable number for the longest arms on the team – squatting 350 pounds, and does power cleans (from the ground to neck level) with 260 pounds. He has gotten faster this summer, with the one-on-one coaching he has gotten from the local track club. He said he can feel more power in his legs. He doesn’t want to just be on the field, he wants to make an impact. “I want to be able to drive and get distance, and open up a lot more holes,” he said. “I just want to get faster – get better.”

Epic kayak voyage dedicated to fallen mentor

Contributed

Tyler Lewis was killed in a ski accident in December 2012.

In December 2012, UBC engineering PhD candidate Tyler Lewis died in a ski accident. On July 20, to honour Lewis, his close friend and protégé Sean McBeath will undertake a grueling 135-km, non-stop kayak voyage from Victoria’s Inner Harbour to Vancouver’s False Creek. It is believed no one has accomplished this feat previously. McBeath hopes to raise more than $15,000 in donations for his friend’s memorial research foundation. A gifted researcher, athlete and avid outdoorsman, Lewis earned his engineering chemistry degree from Queen’s University. He returned west to pursue his PhD at UBC in chemical and biological engineering. Lewis was passionate about environmental causes and dedicated his research

to clean sustainable energy. It is because of this lifelong passion for the environment that his parents established the Tyler Lewis Clean Energy Research Foundation. It will annually grant funds to innovative projects in the field of sustainable clean energy research. Lewis and McBeath had been friends since high school in Maple Ridge, and Lewis encouraged McBeath to enroll in UBC’s School of Engineering. He became McBeath’s mentor through four years of complex studies. McBeath graduated from UBC in May with his degree in chemical and biological engineering. McBeath began competitive paddling in 1999. He was awarded multiple medals in the 2003 Western Canada Games, took bronze at the 2005 and 2009 Canada Summer Games and in 2006 he won bronze and silver paddling for Canada

in the Pan American Championships. In 2011 he was named the Maple Ridge Hometown Hero. McBeath will be joined on his kayak journey by friends Dion Maxwell and Liam Fisher. A 45-foot support boat will accompany the paddlers and will be transmitting their location. The paddlers plan to leave Victoria’s Inner Harbour at 1 a.m. on July 20 and expect to arrive at the World of Science Center in False Creek approximately 7 p.m that day. • To make a donation to Sean McBeath’s fund-raising kayak journey, or to follow their blog for updates, visit the Rain City Central website: www.raincitycentral.ca.

When is water enough, and do we need more?

last touched on the mechanism of sweating and the dangers of heat build-up in the body. If you play a sport or exercise out in the heat without sufficient water replenishment (hydration), you will not only decrease your performance but could be setting yourself up for heat exhaustion and eventually heat stroke. I want to expand on this topic and discuss how much fluid intake is appropriate, what kind of fluid replacement is optimal for different kinds of exercise and time-frames. There are three main time periods to consider fluid intake: before, during and after playing your sport or workout. Each of these can have slightly different volumes and composition to consider for the drink you ingest. Pre-exercise hydration is all about correcting any dehydration or electrolyte imbalance you have from the period before the workout or game. There can be many reasons for being dehydrated from the previous day, including hot weather, playing a tough game the previous day with insuffi-

cient replenishment, and so on. If you’ve eaten a well-balanced breakfast before working out, you should not need a sports drink prior to exercise – plain water should suffice. But you can start hydrating as much as three to four hours before your workout. The specific amount depends on many factors, but a 160-pound person should try to get about 16 ounces of water over this time period, more for a bigger person, less for a smaller one. Hydration during exercise is influenced by the intensity and duration of exercise, sweat rate, weather conditions, heat acclimatization and a host of other factors. Professional athletes experiment with different strategies for post-exercise weight-loss and performance levels to try and fine-tune their competition routine. For most recreational athletes and exercisers, there are a few basics to follow. First, if the exercise session is less than one hour, water is fine to drink. You normally won’t need electrolyte or carbohydrate replacement. However, if the game or workout lasts 60 minutes or more and is at least of moderate intensity, it would be advis-

Do you have difficulty performing day-to-day activities? Does your home need to be adapted to meet your changing needs? If so, you may be eligible for financial assistance under the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program. Find out today if you are eligible and if you meet all of the requirements as a low-income homeowner or as a landlord applying on behalf of an eligible tenant.

To apply or learn more, visit www.bchousing.org/HAFI You can also contact BC Housing: Phone: 604-646-7055 Toll-free: 1-800-407-7757 (ext. 7055)

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help. Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

DE BODT - Anna March 1934 to July 5th, 2013 At 79, and after a long and courageous battle, our dear mom is now at peace. Anne leaves behind a devoted and loving husband of 60 years, John; her children Barry (Norma), Elaine (Robert); grandchildren Peggy, James, Ryan

and Caitlin (Mike). She is also survived by sisters Flora and Isabel and brothers Albert and Bobbie.

IN MEMORIAM GIFTS

OBITUARIES

Waiting for her in heaven are her mom and dad, and siblings Violet, Bill, Sammy, Alberta and Earl.

ESTEREICHER, Anthony (Tony) Passed away peacefully in Maple Ridge, on July 17th, 2013 in his 97th year. Predeceased by his loving wife Theresa of 64 years and infant great grandchild AshleyGrace. Survived by his loving family, sons John (Colleen) and Tony (Renate), grandchildren Michelle (Rich Ludwig), David, Jason (Yolanda), Christopher (Kerry-Anne), great grandchildren Amy, Melissa, Hannah, Ryley-Jane, Brianna, Alexa, Natalie, sister-in-law Theresa, and many friends and relatives. No father took better care of his family. Dad was a much loved, respected and hard-working man whose first priority was always his family.

It is with sadness we announce the passing of Gerald Louis Peverelle on July 12, 2013 at the age of 93. Gerald was the son of the late Nellie Yardley and Louis Peverelle. He met and married his wife Lena (nee Gatto) on October 26, 1940. Gerald served during WWII with the Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve and was also a member of the carpenters union. Gerald and Lena lived in Maple Ridge for 50 years. During this time, they were both active members in their community and served through clubs such as 4-H. Gerald also served on the board for the Haney Fair.

She devoted her life to caring for her family. The love for her family and friends was evident throughout her life. During her illness her gentle spirit shined through. It touched everyone who was lucky enough to have known her. Words cannot express the heartfelt gratitude for the excellent care Mom received at Holyrood Manor. Dr. Milewski, the nursing staff and Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care aids are exceptional and compassionate, and were there every step of the way. A celebration of her life is being planned for later this summer. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Alzheimer Society of B.C. at www.alzheimerbc.org
