Farmland OK’d for new road, mall City of Pitt Meadows request for n. Lougheed Connector approved by land commission by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

A large swath of farmland in Pitt Meadows has been removed from the provincially protected agricultural land reserve paving the way for another mall. The Agricultural Land Commission approved the exclusion of 33 hectares (81 acres) of land in the North Lougheed corridor last week, with four conditions. “They have given us the green light,” said an ecstatic Mayor Deb Walters. “There is still considerable work to Walters be done in a rather short period of time but their support is the first step in moving forward.” The City of Pitt Meadows applied for exclusion last October despite protest from residents and a petition against it.

On the same week as Pitt Meadows was hearing “yes” from the Agricultural Land Commission, Maple Ridge got a “no.” Pitt Meadows was OK’d to remove land from the Agricultural Land Reserve for a SmartCentres development, but the ALC stood by its decision to only consider removing a portion of farmland

from the ALR at Albion Flats. In late 2011, the district sent the ALC a draft plan to develop fields along the Lougheed Highway, which are bisected by 105th Avenue. The commission has said it would support development of approximately 100 acres on the east side of 105th, but not on the west – which effectively halved the developable lands. Furthermore, the commission said it would only entertain an ALR exclusion for the eastern properties if work was done to remediate flooding problems on the western properties. Regardless, two owners of the

western properties applied to exclude their lands, for business and light industrial uses. An ALC decision received by the parties midweek denied them. Property owners John and Steve Wynnyk offered “no comment” about the failed bid. The initial reaction at the District of Maple Ridge hall was not surprise. “It seems to be consistent with what they’ve been saying all along,” said Frank Quinn, general manager of public works and development services. He added the district did not lose anything in this week’s an-

nouncements – the land to the east of 105th Avenue still will be considered for exclusion. He said the plan for that property is a mix of commercial and business uses. “Basically, it’s employment lands.” Quinn is working with developers to address drainage of the western farmland, which will include detention areas for runoff water. Then the ALC will receive the district’s application to use farm land for its project. “We’re hoping by the end of the year to have that application in,” he said. See Albion, p3

Pub owners cautious on liquor law changes Province begins review, public consultation on ‘outdated’ policy by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

As the provincial government embarks on another round of liquor policy reforms there are different reactions from local people in the liquor business. One brew pub owner appreciates the government being less of a nanny state. Another says Victoria ever-changing approach to liquor laws has driven down the value of his investments. Allowing patrons to have a craft beer at a farmer’s market, a glass of wine at the spa, and even an adult beverage at the beach are new freedoms that have all been proposed for this latest review.

“For anybody who has a liquor primary licence, it’s hugely scary.” Justin Strange, Witch of Endor Pub

The government is sending letters to 10,000 liquor licence holders asking for feedback. In September a website will allow for public input, then recommendations to the provincial cabinet will be made in November. Brock Rogers owns the Billy Miner Pub in Maple Ridge. Under recent amendments to liquor laws, he is now able to sell beer that he brews at another holding, the Mission Springs Brew Pub, in his Haney pub. He sees it as a sensible chang.e “They’re softening these lines all the time,” he said. It has created opportunities for brew pubs. In the past, the options for his patrons were limited. “We have Molsons, or would you like Molsons?” is how he puts it.

He owns the Witch of Endor Pub in MaRogers has a pub in Korea. He said it is ple Ridge, as well as the Station House in the nation with the highest per capita beer

Aldergrove and The Point in Port Moody. Strange has been in the pub business for 20 years, and said bar owners generally paid a premium to obtain their “liquor primary” licence. He went through screening as rigorous as if he was getting a job as a border guard, he said. As a rule of thumb, a pub’s licence alone was worth $1 million, to say nothing of other business assets. But under changing and relaxing liquor laws and enforcement, many easy-to-get “food primary” liquor licencees are allowed to operate like pubs, serving drinks rathing than meals, and even hiring bar-style entertainment. He points out that a foursome might leave a golf course and head to an upscale restaurant for a post-round beverage, where traditionally they would have been pub-bound. Now bars compete with every pizza joint and sushi house that is licenced to serve beer and wine. “The lines (between food primary and liquor primary) are so blurred now.” The double whammy was that pub owners saw their customers targetted for enforcement when Victoria brought in tougher drinking and driving laws three years ago. That drove pub customers to pub-style restaurants, where police were not doing walk-throughs, nor setting up roadside stops nearby. The net result – pubs are worth significantly less than they were before the regulations changed and enforcement relaxed, he said. For those who operate pubs in conjunction with liquor stores, the coup de grace from the government will be allowing beer and wine to be sold in grocery stores. If that happens, he said the liquor store owners “would be flat broke in a second.” “You’ve turned a liquor store into a corner store,” he said. “They (politicians) are thinking about what they’re looking like to the public. They’re not thinking about the guy who will lose his livelihood.” He said pub owners have watched their investments lose value, and are holding their breath as Victoria once again tinkers with liquor laws. “For anybody who has a liquor primary licence, it’s hugely scary,” said Strange.

SmartCentres offered land swap Albion from front

Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin said the district can now move forward with its own plans. The district supported the applicants because they have the right to apply for an exclusion, but there seemed little reason for optimism given the ALC’s initial comments. “We need to go full steam ahead on working on that exclusion on the southeast side,” said Daykin, speaking while on vacation in Qualicum.

“There’s certainty now. We can map out that plan.” SmartCentres has offered to give Maple Ridge 20 acres on the west side of 105th Avenue, which the land commission says should remain in the Agricultural Land Reserve. Daykin That parcel would also serve as a new location for the fairgrounds.

In return, SmartCentres would get the district’s 17 acres used for the Albion fairgrounds on the east side of 105th Avenue. That would be added to Smart Centres existing 10 acres, creating about 27 acres for a shopping centre. The offer is the latest turn in the decade-long debate about the future of the farmland on Lougheed Highway.

Future use of controversial Albion flats on 105th Avenue still undecided.

Car Care with Cyril Barry

Cy’s Way or the Highway “Car Care with Cyril” has been around in the papers for many years. It serves two joint purposes: (1) providing engaging community advertising for Westside Auto, (2) giving Cyril a venue to vent, lecture, pontificate, advise, postulate, story-tell, and otherwise stand on his soapbox and rant to a captive audience for whom the public display of grammatical indecency was readily forgiven in exchange for a down-to-earth, writes-like-he-speaks, style. Cyril the Straight-shooter. We lost Cyril last week (see obituary, page 42) but his articles will always be with us. You can continue to read some classics/favourites right here over the coming weeks, and we’ll be sure to get even more oldies-and-goodies up on the Westside website blog. He shot from the hip, He loved from the heart. Cyril wasn’t one to apologise if he upset you (yeah there’s lots of you out there!) because after all, he was only trying to help -- if you didn’t like it or didn’t accept it, well, that was your problem. You can’t fix the loose nut behind the steering wheel. What’s your favourite Cyril Story? Gerry and the Westside team are open: both for business, and to share some stories and laughs -- even at his expense, it’s what Cyril would have wanted. If you tweet/ facebook, share via #MissingCyrilBarry hashtag. Funeral Service will take place this SATURDAY 17 August at 11AM at Maple Ridge Baptist Church: 22155 Lougheed Hwy. #MissingCyrilBarry More articles next week. Same bat-time. Same bat-channel.

Traffic plan for Old Dewdney one requirement Mall from Front

Council support for the exclusion application however was not unanimous. Three councillors - Bruce Bell, Janis Elkerton and Dave Murray - voted against it and still remain vocally opposed. The conditions for approval include further protection of farmland in other parts of the city; a required change in Metro Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategy and beginning construction of the North Lougheed Connector within three years of the ALC’s acceptance of a traffic-calming plan for Old Dewdney Trunk Road. The North Lougheed Connector has been pitched by the city as a way to take traffic off Old Dewdney Trunk. “We all agree we need to find a way to accommodate the everincreasing traffic coming from the east that aggravates farmers and commuters alike,” said Walters. “As a council, we are firm in our commitment to diversify the tax base, provide local jobs and preserve our agricultural roots. This decision helps support all of those things.” The main reason for allowing the exclusion is the pressing need for the connector road. In

Exclusion from Agricultural Land Reserve will allow construction of road from Golden Ears Way to Harris Road. its decision, the land commission acknowledged that traffic volumes on Old Dewney Trunk have increased and continue to rise, to around 11,000 vehicles per day in 2012 from a low of 7,000 vehicles in 1993. “Enabling farming to operate effectively in substantial area of Pitt Meadows outweighs the need to preserve farmland in a much smaller area,” notes the commission. Five of the properties

in the exclusion area however have fields in production, growing corn for silage, forage and blueberries. Each of the properties have different owners, including the city’s former fire chief Bill Park, veterinarian George Robertson, the Meadows Gardens Golf Course and Pitt Meadows Shopping Centres Ltd. (a subsidiary of SmartCentres, a big box store developer). SmartCentres plans to develop most of the 50.9

Conservation officers concerned about new herd by T i m Fitzg e r ald contributor

Conservation officers in Maple Ridge are worried that the elk spotted in the Kanaka Creek area near the Lougheed Highway, in the last few weeks could become the target of poachers. Cody Ambrose, with the Ministry of Environment, said the public should report if they see any suspicious people approaching the elk. “Maple Ridge does have a number of known urban poachers in the area when it comes to deer,” warned Ambrose. “This is a concern for us.” A pair of elk have been frequent visitors to the Albion flats-Kanaka Creek area, often walking up to the northern side of the Lougheed Highway. Ambrose said his office has received

He said people need to be vigilant while driving in the area, checking their speed as they approach the area along Lougheed Highway and 105th Avenue and

the Haney Bypass. The elk are suspected to be from the original herd of 23 that was relocated into Upper Pitt Lake in January 2005. The Ministry of Environment took on the project in order to repopulate the area with the Roosevelt elk, which were native to the area

before being wiped out by hunters at the turn of the 20th Century. The ministry also placed 20 elk in the Indian River area in 2006 and the Upper Stave Lake area in 2007. The relocated elk come from the Sunshine Coast and Powell River area. The original herd were

the program is taking hold. The ministry repopulated the area in the Upper Pitt Lake in order to take some pressure off black-tail deer as a food source for cougars, as well as to provide other food for wolves and bears. “I’m a little surprised that they found this little oasis in the middle of a concrete jungle,” said Reynolds. “But this is evidence that the population is doing really well. It’s good to see the success of the program.” He said the elk aren’t

likely to cross the highway and probably won’t be around for much longer. “They are a pair of young males who are stalking up on their fat supplies before fall, said Reynolds. “Come September they are going to make their way back up the hills for mating season. Nature will call.” As for the predators the elk were meant to attract, Reynolds dismissed any notion that the public should be concerned. He said it’s extremely unlikely wolves or bears would stalk an animal so close to an urban population. Reynolds did caution about the public about getting too close to the wild animals. The elk weigh as much as 250 kilograms and will protect themselves if threatened. People should also keep their dogs on leash in the area. The elk have been known to turn on dogs if they’ve been chased. Anyone who sees anything suspicious can call the conservation office at 1-877952-7277.

Make the best of ALR decision

Published and printed by Black Press at 22328 – 119th Avenue, Maple Ridge, B.C., V2X 2Z3

Ingrid Rice

any are undoubtedly pleased with the Agricultural Land Commission’s decision to approve removal of 33 hectares of land from the agricultural reserve to allow development of a road shopping mall. Led by the City of Pitt Meadows, the application was made to improve farming conditions by removing heavy traffic from Old Dewdney Trunk Road and funneling it through what will be the North Lougheed Connector, linking Golden Ears Way with Harris Road and Lougheed Highway. Those who favour the decision will be glad that this side of the Pitt River will get another shopping mall to complement the two on the south side of the Lougheed Highway. A new mall will keep more shopping dollars in the community and spare residents having to drive outside to spend their money, some say. From one perspective, it’s a win for two groups. Pitt Meadows gets a road it couldn’t afford to build, instead relying on the mall developer to do so as a condition of development. Maple Ridge commuters win as well because their toll-free drive west, will become quicker, at least in theory. With all the traffic directed to Harris Road, that intersection will need several millions of taxpayers dollars for upgrading if gridlock is to be avoided. Pitt Meadows council also has to think of its future and ensure space for a transit hub, future light rail and a long-discussed convention centre. Instead of short-term road projects that gobble millions, think long-term and plan for mass transit. The big loss though is to farmland and the future. Although the ALC denied the proposal in Albion in Maple Ridge, why can’t the former Pelton tree nursery lands just to the east in Maple Ridge, now be excluded as well? Why stop there? – The News

You can talk to animals if you listen “I

f I could talk to the animals, just imagine it…what a neat achievement that would be.” – Dr. Doolittle. In the 1967 movie, Dr. Doolittle discovers that animals can talk. With the help of Polynesia, his parrot, Along the Fraser he learns 200 creaJack Emberly ture tongues, a neat achievement with awesome responsibility. Hearing from the horse’s mouth that intelligent animals are exploited and mistreated made Doolittle an early animal rights activist. He set out to convince people that all creatures deserve respect and kindness. I endorse that aim because of meaningful chats – albeit non-verbal – with cats and dogs I’ve lived with. I whistle, or cluck in fields to horses who whinny back. Once, (true story) I mind-linked with a fruit bat in my big sister’s back yard in Parksville. She swore the big dark thing in the night sky was a bird. I love it when she challenges me. I convinced the bat to join us. It flew into the open door of Pat’s porch where it flopped around in confusion until I scooped my new pal up smugly, and suggested he fly home. Alf Kiilerich’s personal story of talking to animals is also noteworthy. Kiilerich, is a long-time, local merchant (Hammond Jewellers) now retired, who keeps a boat on the South Alouette River. I bumped

uestion of the week:

into him recently. Talk turned to fish. “You should see the big ones that swim up every time I’m at the boathouse,” said Alf. “They take bread from my hand.” I cocked my ears. “Really?” “I’m the only one they trust. Nobody else can feed them.” Another challenge? “You should come and see for yourself,” said Alf. Alf ’s fish are bony, unpalatable squawfish – a creature demeaned by sports fishermen, and unprotected in Harper’s new Fisheries Act. There were some near the boathouse when we arrived, but none wanted the bread crumbs I threw into the water. They were looking up at a strange, bald skull, not Alf ’s white hair. Alf took a turn. This time the water churned with squawfish like piranha feeding on a water buffalo. “That big one’s a favourite of mine,” said Alf, pointing to a fish a foot long. He held a piece of bread above the water that his friend, the big squawfish, quickly accepted. “You’ve established a personal relationship with these fish,” I said. “Yes, they’re not just a piece of meat anymore. You think of them differently. If they can remember stuff, they’ve got brains.” “Do you talk to them?” I asked. “Not if anybody’s listening. They’d think I was nuts. But, yes, I do. They never talk back though.” It might not be long before they do talk back, but prairie dogs will probably do it, firstly. Dr. Con Slobodchikoff Northern

Should B.C. have a special team of officers dedicated to investigating cyber bullying? Yes: 57% – No: 42% (40 votes)

Arizona University, a conservation biologist, and founder of the Animal Language Institute, wants to make this happen. He’s working on a digital device that will translate the vocalizations of prairie dogs. According to Slobodchikoff, these animals have a complex language used to communicate across an underground network of interlinked villages. They’re social, like us. So, what do prairie dogs talk about? When a human approaches, a member

“All’s well, it’s the guy with the red cap who feeds us peanuts.” – Praire dog

will take a look, (noting size, shapes and colors) and then announce loudly, in a complete sentence, “All’s well, it’s the guy with the red cap who feeds us peanuts,” or conversely, “Take cover, it’s the jerk with the sling shot who killed Mikey, last week.” Look for big changes in the way humans view animals if Slobodchikoff succeeds. Maybe, in Japan, fishermen who corral and slaughter dolphins – who also talk to each other – will adopt the enlightened position of India.

Licence plate ‘Olgezr’ may be provocative Editor, The News: Re: Slow down and start obeying the speed limits, Letters, July 26. Nice to see that T. Devine had the courage to confront this lady with her inattention while driving. I have lived in many cities and municipalities and having been a resident for 14 years in Maple Ridge I have concluded that we have the worst drivers I have ever confronted and as a frequent pedestrian as well. I have been almost hit at 224th Street and Dewdney Trunk Road in the west crosswalk by cars making a right turn with no regard for the crosswalk signal. If you are not going fast enough for the guy or girl behind you, they tailgate you in the hopes that you speed up. I must admit that I drive five kilometres over the limit and get honked at fingered and yelled at. Maybe my plate, “Olgezr” has something to do with it, I don’t know. Drivers here need to give their head a shake and change their habits. After all, my life is as important as yours. Bob Kerfoot Maple Ridge

India leading the way Animals from p6

In India, dolphins enjoy ‘non-human personhood status’. The official declaration by the Indian Ministry of the Environment reads, “Dolphins should be seen as non-human persons and as such should have their own specific rights.” Even before Doolittle, Ghandi said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way in which its animals are treated.” I was thinking about that line, and Alf ’s fish when I stared into the eyes of two crabs thrashing on their backs in a crowded supermarket fish tank. I grasped a leg of one poor creature and flipped it over; did the same with the other. Frantic eyes followed me as the animals settled on the backs of fellow inmates. If they could talk would they thank me, invoke their maker, or scream?

online comments Donald Malcolm Johnston· Delta secondary Re: Bus-to-SkyTrain transfers costly without smart card (mapleridgenews.com). The entire top TransLink management should be fired for this gross incompetence by forcing transit customers to double pay. The TransLink board of amateurs should be fired for incompetence for not addressing the issue. I thought TransLink was reaching its nadir of management incompetence, but I see they have reached even new unheard of lows. If the minister in charge of TransLink does not fire these people by Thursday, he/she should be fired for incompetence. This is a real slap in the face of south of the Fraser transit customers because TransLink forces everyone to transfer from bus to SkyTrain or the Canada Line. In an age where public transit is deemed successful by its ease of use, TransLink and its ossified central command find new ways to prove the “Peter Principle” - The Peter Principle is a proposition that states that the members of an organization where promotion is based on achievement, success, and merit eventually will be promoted beyond their level of ability. It seems with TransLink, everyone is promoted beyond their level of ability.

Be responsible and recycle trash Editor, The News: Re: Maple Ridge or Maple Ditch? Using Maple Ridge streets as a dumping ground is not a new problem. If instances like this continue to occur unabated, Maple Ridge soon will have to adopt its sad and rather disconcerting new moniker. Actually, it’s hardly new. Dumping of refuse has been going on around these parts for a long time. Some people just cannot bring themselves to act more responsibly. Residents of Maple Ridge do their best to recycle, reduce and reuse all kinds of household materials. Indeed the municipality has a long history of promoting green living and careful household waste management. Most residents abide by the rules set in place to promote a more efficient and healthy living environment. However, in every barrel, as the old saying goes, there will always be the occasional rotten apple. Dumping of household waste must cost the local municipality a substantial amount of money; money

that taxpayers would rather see being used elsewhere to improve lroads, schools and hospitals and to provide much needed services to the elderly and infirm. Whatever the real figure might be, it is probably higher than it needs to be and could be vastly reduced by the efforts of all citizens and not just the majority to dispose of their household trash in a fair and sensible manner. A variety of household waste, recyclables and trash was left in the thoroughfare between McIntyre Court and Lion Park on Tuesday, Aug. 13. The resulting mess also contained what appeared to be medical supplies and prescription bottles which, upon closer examination by some curious passing child, could easily have resulted in a potentially dangerous outcome. The irresponsibility of the trash owner must be called into question. If this was you, shame on you for endangering the general public and, more importantly, potential children, in particular. Thank you also for absolv-

Most people in Maple Ridge pride themselves on recycling. ing yourself of common decency and any modicum of responsibility. The municipality has been contacted to clear it away as soon as possible. There were plenty of identifying letters and details among the garbage. One has to wonder if the municipality’s $2,000 fine will ever be imposed on those caught dumping in this manner?

how to manage it all in Cognitive Productivity by Ne i l Corbet t staff reporter

Learning to harness the barrage of information we are confronted with on a daily basis is the focus of a book by a local scientist. Luc Beaudoin, of Pitt Meadows, is an adjunct professor of education at SFU, specializing in cognitive science. He once wrote a 40page paper at the request of the late Steve Jobs, the Apple Inc. founder, with information based on cognitive science and productivity. “I had a lot of ideas, so I shared those ideas.” Features similar to the ones he suggested, such

Public Notice Lawn Watering Regulations Effective June 1 to September 30, residential lawn sprinkling hours are restricted between 4:00 am to 9:00 am. That is when the least amount of water used on lawns will evaporate. WHEN YOU MAY SPRINKLE YOUR LAWN: Residential Addresses: • Even-numbered addresses may sprinkle lawns from 4:00 am to 9:00 am on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday • Odd-numbered addresses may sprinkle lawns from 4:00 am to 9:00 am on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday • Residential addresses may NOT sprinkle on Friday. Non-Residential Addresses: • Even-numbered addresses may sprinkle lawns from 1:00 am - 6:00 am on Monday and Wednesday • Odd-numbered addresses may sprinkle lawns from 1:00 am - 6:00 am on Tuesday and Thursday • Non-residential addresses MAY also sprinkle from 4:00 am - 9:00 am on Friday. Newly turfed or seeded lawns may be irrigated more frequently, provided a written permit stipulating conditions is first obtained from the Engineering Department. The cost of the permit is $30 for a three week period and is renewable once. • Watering of flowers, shrubs and vegetable gardens is not affected by the regulations at this stage. • Car washing using a hose equipped with spring loaded shut-off device is permitted. • These restrictions do not apply to nurseries, golf courses, sport fields, and parks at this time. By conserving water now, we will help save water and reduce the risk of more severe restrictions. Remember, your lawn only needs about 1-inch of water (about 1 hour of sprinkling) per week to stay healthy.

as a global mute button, and features to tag information as important and to create flashcards are now trademark capabilities in Apple products. In addition to his role as an educator, Beaudoin has been a software designer and an entrepreneur. He has helped launch billiondollar high-tech companies including Abatis Systems Corp. and Tundra Semiconductor. “I’m not just a scholar who has been in the ivory tower his whole life.” His new book, Cognitive Productivity, has been released on Leanpub, which is a Vancouver-based online bookstore. It will be available as an E-book on Amazon in the fall. Enlightened by what his own varied career path has taught him, Beaudoin cites examples of how information overload and learnerunfriendly technology are combining to break down our cognitive productivity. “Merely skimming and archiving information, which most of us do to try to stay afloat on our sea of information, stymies cognitive productivity,” said Beaudoin. “There’s not enough active reading, annotating and harvesting of information gems, which we must then practise recognizing and using if we’re to become expert with the knowledge.” It’s believed to be the first research-based book to explain how marrying learning

SFU professor Luc Beaudoin, of Pitt Meadows, says he works in the real world as well.

“Technology itself is not designed by people who think about how we learn.” Luc Beaudoin, author strategies that underlie cognitive science with learner-friendly technology can make us more cognitively productive. Cognitive science is a field that encompasses linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, psychology and even artificial intelligence. “Technology itself is not designed by people who thing about how we learn,” explained Beaudoin. A simple Google search offers a wealth of information, but we can be constrained by both time and our own

biological limitations – “We can’t just ready something and then know it. “So technology is not as useful as it could be, or should be.” Information is available. Contemporary people know more about their hobbies than ever before, and if someone in their family contracts a form of cancer, they can quickly get data about it. “You’ve got to know about that cancer, and suddenly you’re a researcher.” Beaudoin’s book offers some heavy lifting for those who want to read it, but he believes it is accessible to everyone. “You need to be a cognitive scientist to come up with what I’ve written. “You don’t need to be a cognitive scientist to appreciate it,” he said. The book delves into topics like comprehension, the “illusions of

relevance,” and some learning skills that Beaudoin believes can make our lives better. “The middle part has science that not everyone will want to read,” he said. “But the first part talks about the great opportunity we face, having all this knowledge accessible to us.” “On the scale of humanity this is really new, and people haven’t adapted their ways,” he said. “We’ve got lots of food, but do people eat the right things?” Beaudoin said he has written a “productivity book,” which will be most relevant to business and professional people. “It’s targeted at people who work with knowledge, and that’s a huge number of people now – it’s a knowledge economy.” “It’s a very positive book.”

zation, intends to ask the commission to reconsider the decision. Under the Agricultural Land Reserve Act, a request for reconsideration can be submitted if: evidence not available at the time of the original decision has become available, or all or part of the original decision was based on evidence that wrong or false. The decision mentions only 20 people were recorded as attending a public hearing on the exclusion application, although there were many more people present. “This removal is going to put huge pressure on farmland in the north [of the city],” said Diana Williams, president of the Pitt Polder Preservation Society. “The covenants weren’t worth the paper they were written on. They take a little nibble of farmland here and another there and it keeps growing and growing.” • Read the whole decision online at mapleridgenews.com.

one of the trio on council who opposed the application, believes the development and proposed road makes no sense. Without an overpass at Harris Road, all they are doing is putting more traffic into an area that is already congested, he said. “It is really sad,” he added. “I remember standing right in the spot where this is going to go and this is has got to be some of the most pastoral, most beautiful, scenic farmland in all of British Columbia. They are going to give this up for what? For a big box store? These are not family-sustaining jobs.” Coun. Janis Elkerton meanwhile believes the exclusion paves the way for more development on farmland, not just in Pitt Meadows but throughout Metro Vancouver. “I don’t see this as helping farming at all.” The Pitt Polder Preservation Society, a local environmental organi-

“But it’s not a slam dunk yet.” As for covenants on the remaining agricultural land, the city believes they are already in place since Pitt Meadows official community plan, a document that guides development, designated the land along the connector as “agricultural” “It is really hard to put covenants on property that doesn’t belong to us,” said Walters, adding the city is getting legal clarification on the issue. “However the OCP designates the land as agricultural. That in itself is a covenant from what we understand, so that might be enough.” The city’s plan to develop the area however has many critics, among them environmentalists and nearby residents who lament the loss of arable land for stores. Walters reminds the critics that the request for the North Lougheed connector came from farmers. “There will always be

people who aren’t happy with the decision,” she said. “But you have to remember, there was a petition from people who want lower taxes. Lower taxes means we have to look at commercial, industrial and those types of things. We have to look at what’s best for our community in the long term.” Under the conditions for exclusion, Pitt Meadows could return city-owned land to the Agricultural Land Reserve. Walters says there is a property in the south of the city, behind Wildwood Crescent, that fits the criteria. People opposed to the exclusion application were shocked that protection has now been removed. Former New Democrat MLA Michael Sather called the decision “political”, one that’s influenced by the B.C. Liberals return to power. “The ALC has caved completely. I don’t know why.” he said. Coun.

Metro Vancouver bus passengers who now pay with cash and use a paper transfer to later board SkyTrain will find themselves paying double if they don’t adopt the Compass card after the new payment system takes effect in 2014. TransLink says fare boxes on buses won’t be able to issue paper

tickets to cash-paying passengers that are compatible with the SkyTrain faregates. Passengers who try to use them will be forced to pay again at a SkyTrain station. Spokesman Derek Zabel predicts the vast majority of riders will use the Compass card and have no problem but concedes more public education will be needed. A compatible system on buses would have cost an extra $25 million. “It wasn’t a cost-effective solution,” he said. Bus-to-bus paper transfers will still work, as will SkyTrain-to-bus transfers – it’s only busto-SkyTrain transfers where tickets will be incompatible. An estimated 6,000 people a day use bus-toSkyTrain paper transfers after paying cash. That’s a small fraction of the more than 1.2 million daily transit

trips, Zabel said, noting most riders already use a pass or some other form of pre-paid fare. While Compass cards are expected to roll out before the end of the year – after an extensive testing period this fall – both the new and the old system will work simultaneously for months before the faregates are fully activated. “We’re not going to close the gates until people fully understand how to use the system,” Zabel said. The cards are being configured to replicate existing payment offerings so users can load money on their card and buy the equivalent of a monthly pass or get a similar discount to the FareSaver prepaid ticket booklets by buying ahead. Discounts will range up to 14 per cent, according to Zabel. TransLink expects passengers will flock to adopt the reloadable

“double transit fee.” It’s not the only change associated with the Compass card conversion that’s drawing controversy. TransLink is also axing the Employer Pass Program that offered a 15 per cent discount to employees of participating employers. It was often coupled with employer-offered perks like preferential parking as a way to encourage more transit use while reducing the number of workplace parking stalls required. “It wasn’t fair,” Zabel said. “Some select people and groups were benefitting while other people weren’t getting that same level of discount.” TransLink says employer pass users can buy monthly passes now, but in many cases that may cost them more. TransLink will also phase out FareSaver prepaid tickets in January. Also being eliminated Jan. 1 is a policy of allowing free travel for family members of monthly pass holders on Sundays and holidays.

Compass card because of the convenience it will offer – ending the need to go to a store to buy a monthly pass – as well as other advantages like transfer of the balance if the card is lost or stolen. Gavin Davies, vicepresident of the CAW union local representing Coast Mountain bus drivers, said there’s concern angry passengers who are forced to pay again to board SkyTrain will take out their fury on bus drivers. “They’re going to immediately retaliate against the next bus driver they see,” he predicted, adding driver assaults could increase.

320 bear sightings since January ‘13 Bears from p12

“Residents need to be more aware of their surroundings during berry season.” said Daniel Mikolay, WildsafeBC coordinator for Maple Ridge. “Look for signs like fresh scat on the trail. If you’re walking on trails, go with a friend and talk. Letting any bears in the area know that you are there will reduce conflicts.” A black bear’s diet is about 80 per cent plantbased which explains why they are seen near berry bushes and fruit trees. Right now, black bears are trying to pack on 20,000 calories a day to prepare for the winter months. The best way to keep black bears away from urban areas is to remove all attractants like garbage, bird feeders, and fruit. The best way to remove the fruit is to pick it with a group a friends as soon as it’s ripe and then trim back the invasive black berry bushes. There are still plenty of black berry bushes in non-inhabited areas

Muslim Eid celebration on Saturday, marks end of Ramadan Brings people of all “The only thing cultures together that matters to by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

For Salaheldien Malik, Ramadan is time of selfexamination. It’s not just about denial, it’s about self-control and reflection. “It’s all about discipline,” says Malik, an imam for the Islamic Society of Ridge Meadows. “You live it throughout the year.” For the past five years, Muslims in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows have commemorated the annual festival of Eid by celebrating it with the community.

God is that you bring him a sound heart.” Salaheldien Malik For Malik, the celebration is about bringing people of all cultures and creeds together. “We want to show other communities the love between all religions,” he says, noting that it’s not just religious folk who attend the event. “The only thing that matters to God is that you bring him a sound heart.” Malik cherishes the traditions of Eid from

ily and friends and their mom bakes special Sudanese cookies called Khabeez and Kaak. “It’s a joyous day,” says Malik. “Food always brings people together.” Eid fell on Aug. 8 this year, and marks the end of Ramadan, a monthlong period of abstinence for Muslims. Ramadan is a time for spiritual purification achieved through fast-

ing, self-sacrifice and prayers, similar to the Christian tradition of Lent that precedes Easter. Eid-ul-Fitr, which literally means the feast of fast breaking, is a time to give charity to those in need, and celebrate with family and friends. It is also a time for truces, when warring nations and tribes have traditionally laid down arms, delivering a month of peace. The

Islamic society’s annual celebration will bring together many Muslims who live in Maple Ridge but hail from every corner of the world Pakistan, India, Turkey, Syria, Yemen, Morocco, Singapore, Malaysian, Sri Lanka, Kosovo and Russia. • The Eid celebration takes place at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 17 at the Maple Ridge Public Library.

More TransLink staff earning six-figure salaries in 2013

TransLink is again being accused of paying its managers too much after the release of financial disclosures showing higher pay for top executives and more staff receiving in excess of $100,000. The documents show 141 TransLink employees collected six-figure salaries in 2012, up nearly 15 per cent from the previous year. CEO Ian Jarvis collected $394,730 in combined salary and bonuses, up three per cent. Pension contributions and other benefits pushed his total compensation to $438,700. His base salary for January 2012 was listed at $310,000, which TransLink says has not changed since 2011. Three other senior executives – chief operating officer Doug Kelsey, chief financial officer Cathy McLay and executive vice-president Bob Paddon – also earned

ployees earning over $100,000 are Transit Police officers, which Bateman calls “overpaid fare checkers” who don’t work on enough serious crimes to justify their expense. TransLink spokesperson Jiana Ling said Transit Police are critical to keeping the transit system safe and have helped reduce crime. “We’re doing our best to reduce cost and be more efficient while maintaining service delivery standards,” Ling said, adding TransLink’s executive compensation structure has been reviewed and approved by the province. The transportation authority has been through multiple internal and external reviews in recent years in an ongoing search for savings. In the course of that, TransLink has slashed its upper management ranks by liminating a dozen vice-presidents or other senior executives. Auditors, mayors and successive transportation ministers have con-

cluded other expenses offer more potential savings than pay reforms,

and that no amount of internal savings will free up the billions of dol-

lars TransLink needs to build new rapid transit lines.

TransLink’s total payroll cost last year was $54.8 million.

over $300,000 in overall compensation. Kelsey was second highest with a $280,000 base salary. Bonuses, benefits and pension contributions pushed his compensation total to $377,000 in 2012. Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman said TransLink should roll back executive and management salaries as a first step to cut costs and avoid tax hikes for service expansion. “We say not Jarvis another nickel for TransLink,” he said. “Their leadership has completely lost touch with the people they are supposed to be serving. “This tone-deaf fiscal mismanagement will come back to haunt them in next year’s TransLink referendum.” Eight TransLink executives were paid bonuses totalling $215,000 in 2012 related to 2011 performance. The incentive pay amounts ranged from a low of $9,300 to a high of $57,350 for Jarvis. Nearly 60 of the em-

cent, higher than the target of two per cent de Jong set for this year. Deficits and continued spending on capital projects pushed the province’s total debt up $5.6 billion to $55.8 billion. “We’ve seen the largest debt increase in the history of British Columbia,” NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth said. “And this is a government that ran around during the election campaign saying it’s going to be debtfree B.C.”

VICTORIA – The B.C. government finished the last fiscal year with a deficit of $1.15 billion, according to the audited public accounts released at the end of July. That’s up from $968 million that was projected as the deficit last year, an indication of the difficult task facing the government to balance the budget in the current year.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the government reduced its spending $668 million in the fiscal year ended March, compared to what was budgeted. But resource revenues, mostly natural gas, were down $1.1 billion from the 2012 budget. Health care spending was up $585 million, education spending rose $300 million and social services spending went up $50 million compared to 2011-12. Total program spending increase 2.6 per

Big-wigs tour MR prisons by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

Inmate-to-guard ratios remain a top concern of corrections officers in Maple Ridge who hope a safety-focused review underway will lead to concrete changes. Parliamentary secretary for corrections Laurie Thorness and B.C.’s Attorney General Suzanne Anton visited the Fraser Regional Correctional Centre and Alouette Correctional Centre for Women last week as part of a tour of nine prisons. The tours were done to identify ways to better protect the staff and inmates by allowing Thorness to see front-line officers at work and meet with managers.

tions officers in Maple Ridge are echoed throughout the province. Overcrowding remains a key concern for the officers who blame it for an increase in assaults on inmates and staff. Prior to 2002, officer-toinmate ratios were capped at one to 20. In Maple Ridge, the ratio fluctuates between one to 38 and one to 40, according to Purdy. As of Aug. 13, the current number of inmates at Fraser Regional Correctional Centre is 456 and 166 at the Alouette Correctional Centre for Women. The BCGEU has suggested rotational lock downs as a short-term solution, which would reduces the amount of inmates one guard has to supervise at a time. Currently, inmates are out of their cells from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., except during lunch and coffee breaks. See Jails, p22

Safety review ongoing, union wants input

“Safety is the driving force in B.C.’s correctional system,” said Anton. “The review ahead is about going further, listening to the perspectives of all involved and exploring ways that we can advance safety within the current corrections budget.” The tour took the union that represents B.C’s prison guards by surprise but representatives welcomed the review as a good step. The union hopes Thorness will consult with its members as part of the process and has written a letter to him asking to be involved. “We’ve asked to have input and be part of the process,” said Dean Purdy, chairperson of the corrections and sheriffs services component of the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union. “We are still waiting for a response.” The concerns of correc-

Fresh start The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Chamber of Commerce has left downtown Maple Ridge and moved west to Pitt Meadows. The new office is now at 12492 Harris Rd., the former location of the Pitt Meadows Economic Development Corp. Relocation was a unanimous board decision after it was decided it wasn’t feasible to fix up the building on Lougheed Highway at 223rd Street. It’s not known what will be the future use of the space on the Chervron property.

No preference for local ferry bidders BC Ferries has received approval to construct three new medium-sized vessels, and

the B.C. government is leaving it up to the corporation to decide where they are built.

“Certainly we’d be very supportive of the ships being built in British Columbia,” Trans-

portation Minister Todd Stone said Tuesday. “That’s internal to BC Ferries.”

Oil refinery plan needs Cdn. money David Black says Chinese want him to find 25% here by Jef f Nage l Black Press

B.C. businessman David Black has been forced to seek Canadian lenders to build his proposed oil refinery near Kitimat at the insistence of the Chinese bank that would act as the main financier. The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China declined to fully finance the $25-billion project, Black said, sending him to find a quarter of the required mon- Black ey in Canada. “It really came down to the fact that they wanted some skin in the game out of Canada and they would put 75 per cent of the money up for the refinery,” he said Monday. Black has billed the project, announced a year ago, as a way to create thousands of jobs in B.C. refining Alberta crude oil while ensuring diluted bitumen isn’t shipped in tankers, eliminating one of the biggest objections to construction of the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline that could supply the crude. Black is advancing the project through his firm Kitimat Clean Ltd., but is also majority owner of the Black Press group of community newspapers in B.C., including this paper. He believes he has found lenders in Canada but gave no details, except to say he does not intend to take on equity investors.

“It’s too early to say where or how, but I think it’s there,” he said. “Financially, it’s going to work out.” He aims to file a project description with the provincial government in September to initiate the environmental review process. None of the major North American oil companies have expressed any interest in financing or partnering on the refinery but Black said that’s no surprise. Oil extraction is traditionally more profitable than refining, he said, and the biggest energy firms may not want a new refinery competing against ones they already own. “I understand all that and decided early on I just had to find a way around that and I think I’ve found it.” The $25-billion cost includes roughly $16 billion for the refinery – more than initially estimated due to a new refining process that promises to emit half as much greenhouse gas – with the rest covering a natural gas pipeline, a fleet of tankers and the cost of the oil pipeline, if necessary. Besides securing financing, Black said he must secure sites for the refinery and the marine terminal with the Kitselas and Haisla first nations, determine if inland first nations along the proposed pipeline corridor can come on board and to button down formal supply agreements with Canadian oil companies. An engineering firm from Calgary has endorsed the alternative refining process.

Politicians tour jails, work programs ‘reason to get up in the morning’ to bring stakeholders together – including corrections staff and community advisory boards, police, municipal leaders and representatives of the health and social services sectors – for at least eight roundtable consultations in communities with provincial correctional centres. Thorness stressed he is currently at the information gather stage. “I’m open to hearing feedback from managers, staff, inmates, Community Advisory Board members, police, the union representing correctional officers and other stakeholders,” he added. “Ultimately, my goal is to make recommendations that will enhance safety strategies to protect staff, inmates and the communities where B.C. Corrections facilities are located. The opportunity to help shape the corrections system and its underlying policies and practices is a natural extension of work I’ve done in the past, including in the areas of public administration and researching the history of our prison system.” The report will be complete by June 2014.

Work programs lauded

A work programs at a provincial women’s prison in Maple Ridge was praised by B.C.’s Attorney General following a tour of the facility last week. Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton visited the Alouette Correctional Centre for Women’s horticulture program where inmates learn skills from a master gardener from Van Dusen Gardens. Master gardener Barbara Collis has seen how the program has changed lives. “I have seen hundreds of women walk into our greenhouse feeling lost and not believing they have anything to offer the world. This program gives them a reason to get up each morning,” said Collis. “By teaching them skills like how to run a lawnmower, design a garden and create hanging baskets, our goal is to help the inmates get a job down the road. But we also want them to change their behaviour and their lives.” The tour also visited the Allso fish hatchery program manned by inmates from Fraser Regional. “Programs like these prepare inmates for the working world and give them knowledge and experience they can use with confidence to be employed after their release,” said Thorness.

Helicopter zeroes in on scooter thief RCMP’s Air One spots it on highway A Port Coquitlam man was arrested early Saturday after a police helicopter spotted him riding a stolen scooter. Just after midnight, Air One spotted a person driving a motor

scooter erratically on the Lougheed Highway near the Meadow Gardens Golf Course. Police in the helicopter contacted Ridge Meadows RCMP who were able to track the driver to a rural property in the 18200-block of Lougheed Hwy. Officers soon deter-

mined the scooter had been reported stolen to Ridge Meadows RCMP on July 15. Shane Calvin Erickson was arrested as a result of the investigation. Erickson is currently prohibited from driving. Cpl. Alanna Dunlop said Erickson is well known to Ridge Mead-

ows RCMP for property related offences and driving while prohibited. He was held in custody over the weekend and appeared in court on Monday but failed to make bail. Erickson has also been charged with failing to comply with conditions of his probation order.

Cyclists forgotten again in downtown Won’t cycle if they’re scared

enovations of the next section of Lougheed, between 226th and 228th, have started. Unfortunately, cyclists will not be getting what we had asked for: bike lanes on Lougheed through Maple Ridge’s town core. The district feels that the widened sidewalks will adequately accommodate both pedestrians and cyclists, and wants to reserve the road space for the many cars that travel through our downtown. It wasn’t totally unexpected, but it was still disappointing. If you want to encourage more cycling and less driving, you have to make cycling a more convenient and safe option, and it makes so much sense to make a shopping street like

cautious when riding on the sidewalk, and to yield to pedestrians. Use your bell when approaching a pedestrian, and let the pedestrian know that you’re passing: “On your left!” I would also like to remind drivers that people on bikes still have every right to be on the road. Since the traffic lanes will be narrower than before, drivers will need to change lanes when passing a cyclist. Sidewalk cycling usually happens because people don’t feel safe on the road, and you can’t really argue with people about their perception of safety. To a degree, people can gain more confidence by taking a cycling course. But having cars speed by, especially at close distance, is something that no cyclist appreciates. In my experience, most drivers are polite and considerate, and some will stop for me even when they shouldn’. It’s much appreciated, but probably not a very good idea, because it can lead to confusion. There is, however, a small minority of drivers that can be extremely rude, and most people who bike on a regular basis have stories to tell of having pop cans thrown at them, being yelled at, or worse. Drivers don’ t always understand why cyclists do certain things that may annoy them. When there are cars parked on the road, we are taught to “take the lane”, which means: ride in the middle of the vehicle lane. This is to avoid “getting doored” when someone unexpectedly and without looking opens his car door in your face. We don’t do these things just to annoy drivers. When there’s a bike lane or shoulder, some drivers erroneously assume that people on bikes have no right to use the vehicle lanes. We do, and sometimes we need to, for example when there’s debris, a dangerous sewer grate or an illegally parked car on the bike lane, or when a bike lane is in the “door zone” of parked cars.

Containers hold homes in Downtown Eastside Affordable housing is taking a new twist with a complex in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside built from old shipping containers. A dozen containers have been converted into apartments, each with about 290 square feet of living space. Every home includes a private bathroom, kitchen and in-suite laundry, as well as huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The project was built through a partnership between Canada Mortgage & Housing Corporation, Atira Women’s Resource

Society, BC Hydro and several other community partners. The aim was to provide safe, affordable housing for women in the Downtown Eastside. “We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome of this development,” says Atira Women’s Resource Society CEO Janice Abbott. “Atira has the vision and the tenacity to see this project through a precedent-setting development process, despite criticism and opposition. ... The building and individual suites look better than we ever could have imagined.”

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Construction began on Nov. 30, 2012, and every home was completed by July of this year. Six of the homes will be social housing for older women, while the remaining six will be rented at Housing Income Limits rental rates. The residents of the social housing homes will be women with roots in the Downtown Eastside who will be mentoring younger women living next door at the Imouto Housing for Young Women through Atira’s Intergenerational Mentorship Program. Residents will be able to take possession on Sept. 1. “This shipping container housing development serves to show us that with creative thinking we can work to ensure that everyone has access to safe and secure housing,” says Miriam Sobrino, chair of Atira’s board of directors. The project was inspired by BC Hydro’s “House of the Future”, which was also made from recycled shipping containers and was placed on the front lawn of BC Hydro’s office during the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. BC Hydro donated the house after the end of the Games. Two other containers were donated, and the remaining eight were purchased through the Port of Vancouver.

The townhomes at Polygon’s Lakeside include executive-level features such as stainless-steel appliances, a kitchen island, laminate flooring and engineered stone countertops, above. Buyers will be able to take advantage of some amazing amenities, including living right on Sunstone Lake, below right.

Executivestyle living at Lakeside By Kerry Vital

Polygon’s Sunstone master-planned community in North Delta is the perfect family-friendly neighbourhood, with amenities, plenty of outdoor space and gorgeous homes. Now the community is adding elegance with Lakeside, threebedroom townhomes right in the heart of Sunstone.

“Nothing has been built like this in years,” says Lakeside sales manager Theresa Liljedahl. “These are true executive-level townhomes.” Lakeside brings something special to Sunstone with its master-on-main floorplan, the Seaside Series. “There’s been a high demand for homes with the master on the main floor,” Liljedahl says. “People have been waiting years for this. It’s all-on-one-level living.” The upper floor includes two more bedrooms and a flex room, giving buyers options for how they want to use their space. The second floorplan at Lakeside, the Hampton Series, features all three bedrooms on the upper level. Most homes are over 2,000 square feet, giving you tons of space to entertain or relax. Curb appeal is not in short supply at Lakeside. The homes are built using classic

Seaside architecture, with pitched roofs, stone and wood detailing and window boxes. Street-fronting homes include picket fencing and stone post entry gates to complement the architecture. Buyers will be able to enjoy time outdoors on their private decks or patios, which feature gas hookups for your barbecue. You’ll also love your private fenced yard. The kitchen in your new home is a prime example of the high-quality finishings you’ll find at Lakeside. With engineered stone countertops, a marble backsplash, customdesigned, naturally stained quarter oak flat panel or white painted Shaker-style cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances, your kitchen is fit for a gourmet chef. It’s also the perfect place to entertain with its kitchen island. Select homes include a large walk-in pantry for extra storage. Laminate flooring is featured throughout

the main living areas. Radiant in-floor heating will keep you warm and comfortable no matter what the weather is doing. “It’s a wonderful way of heating a home,” says Liljedahl. Nine-foot ceilings on the main level add to the sense of spaciousness in the home, with some homes featuring vaulted ceilings in the living room. Your new living room also holds an electric fireplace with custom surround. The master ensuite bathroom is made for pampering, with its oversized soaker tub, separate shower with glass enclosure and marble tile accents and marble countertops. It also features his-and-hers sinks, a large vanity mirror and porcelain tile flooring. Every home has a main floor powder room for maximum convenience, with its own porcelain tile flooring and elegant pedestal sink or vanity with undermount sink. Sunstone is home to some pretty amazing amenities. The 12,000-square-foot Sunstone Club includes an outdoor pool, gym, fireside lounge with a billiards table and much more. Sunstone Lake is right beside Lakeside, along with a playground, outdoor stage and several trails for walking or cycling. A shopping village is in the works for the future, and an urban community garden is moments away. When you venture off the property, you’ll find schools, shopping, dining and recreation all nearby. Homes start in the low $600,000s. For more information, visit www.polyhomes.com, call 604-585-7107 or visit the presentation centre at 10500 Delsom Avenue, open daily except Fridays between noon and 6 p.m.

Maybe we should enjoy what we have and not try to change

ime is something we all seem to need more of and like you, I really enjoy those unexpected days off. Mine popped-up last Sunday, when a morning arrived with no scheduled garden designs or arborist reports, I had a new kayak in the garage waiting to be broken in, and that longing to see the pictographs on Pitt Lake was finally about to be fulfilled. It had been years since I had been up that way and the stark change from marshy forest land to vast farms of symmetrical blueberry and cranberry fields took me by surprise – although I guess that’s what they call progress. But once I got onto the water and past those nasty sand bars, it was like taking a trip into the past. It’s nice to still be able to see pristine forests a mere hour’s drive from Vancouver and the gnarly Arbutus menziesii and Shore Pines (Pinus contorta var. contorta) looked right at home on the rocky cliffs that compose much of the west side of Pitt Lake. It took me about three hours to paddle my way up to the pictographs, which sit on an impressive rock outcropping between Dark Creek and Defrauder Falls. At a distance, this formation looks like a giant, black clamshell with a white mouth and it is covered in streaks of unnatural looking neon green lichen. The red ocher pictographs are located under rock overhangs which have preserved them for what could be centuries and when you are in their presence you exist in a different timeframe, which is definitely out of sync with the here and now of the modern world. On my way back to civilization I took the time to appreciate the many rustic gardens growing around the lakeside cabins and while most were quite nice, they didn’t really stack-up to the pristine beauty of the forests around them –

which left me with the thought that sometimes we are in such a hurry to change things that we forget how beautiful it was in the first place. Occasionally, the opposite is true, when a survivor or remnant of what once was stands to remind us of things lost. Such was the case when my daughter Madeleine and her boyfriend Ian recently posted a photo of an ancient tree on their travel blog showing highlights from a monthlong journey through the U.K. The tree in Gardening question was Mike Lascelle The Major Oak an 800-yearold Quercus robur near the village of Edwinstowe, in the heart of what’s left of Sherwood Forest. This massive English oak weighs an estimated 23 tons, has a spread of 28 m (much of it supported by metal struts) and a trunk circumference of 10 m. It is reputed to be the same tree under which Robin Hood and merry men took shelter or used to hide (in its massive cavity), depending on which legend you prefer. Regardless of the actual truth, this one oak still manages to draw thousands of visitors from across the globe, people who just want to relive the memory of a heroic outlaw. To put this into an everyday perspective; maybe we should start enjoying what we already have instead of trying to change it. Sometimes the things that last the longest in our gardens aren’t the tangible trees, shrubs and perennials, but those fleeting moments of happiness that all of us keep tucked away in the corners of our minds – at least until a colour, a

So whether it’s that satisfying bite of your first homegrown apple, the unexpected dandelion bouquet from your young daughter, the frenzy of hummingbirds fighting over your fuchsia basket or the lingering fragrance of Honeysuckle on a warm summer’s evening … those unforgettable moments are out there waiting to be enjoyed if you will only take the time to appreciate them. Your only other option is to plant an English oak and grow your own Robin Hood tree, just remember you are going to need a few centuries and one heck of a legend to go with it, which is a bit of longterm commitment. Or it might just be easier to take a day off and enjoy your garden.

Hands off farmland: Metro Study targets Pitt Meadows farmland by J eff Nagel Black Press

SUMMER CLEARANCE EVENT

Metro Vancouver directors are calling on the port authority to agree not to turn scarce farmland into more shipping terminals. The port is redrawing its land-use plan and has proposed to designate six special study areas – four in Richmond, one in Pitt Meadows and one in Vancouver – for future port-related use. Metro’s regional planning and agriculture committee voted Tuesday to object to any potential future use of agricultural land for port purposes. “It should be on industrially zoned lands, not agriculturally zoned lands,” Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said. The study areas in Richmond and Pitt Meadows are all in what Metro classifies as agricultural lands in its regional growth strategy, while the one in Vancouver is general urban land. The port hasn’t indicated what exact process would be used to eventually decide on the use of the study areas. “Their report de-

u-16 team takes overtime victory against rival Langley Flippers by T i m Fitzg e r ald contributor

The Haney Neptunes U-16 team fought their way to a gold medal at the B.C. Summer Swim Association championships at the City Centre Aquatic Complex and Spani Outdoor Pool in Coquitlam. The team fought off the Langley Flippers 9-6 in overtime to win the title. The two teams were tied 6-6 after regulation. The Haneys potted three goals in the six-minute overtime to win the title. Cole Wagner, head coach of the Neptunes, said it’s a big win for a program that struggled a year ago at the provincials. The U-16 team finished last in round robin play in 2012. “I think the experience from last year made all the difference,” said Wagner, a former Neptune and current captain at Carleton Uninversity in Ottawa, Ont. “The kids put in a tremendous amount of hard work this year.” In his second season as head of the water polo program, Wagner said the Neptune teams were able to execute on the systems he and his coaching staff put in place. He said the gold medal win for the U 16 team came after a heated battle with their rivals from Langley throughout the season.

Haney Neptune’s Sam Remfry chases down the ball during the provincial championships in Coquitlam, Wednesday. The U16 team won the title over Langley 9-6. The Neptunes dropped the Flippers during the regular season 15-5. The Flippers turned the tables at during the round robin play at the provincials. “It’s such a short season, things can change so quickly. It’s an intense league. It’s great to be able to come back and see the kids faces

after they win,” said Wagner. In the U 12 division, the Neptunes dropped a heartbreaking 8-7 decision to North Vancouver and had to settle for silver. The U14 team lost the bronze medal match 9-7 to Crescent Beach. Wagner said it was the club’s goal at the

start of the season to put every team in position for a medal at the provincials. He said all the teams should take great pride in the strides they made during the year. “I think we’re starting to see the fruits of our labour. They’ve learned what it takes to compete and win at the provincials .”

Fraser Valley Fusion carry the load, showing sportsmanship rules team puts winning aside to ensure injured player crosses home plate by To m Fletc h e r Black Press

There is a silver lining around the Fraser Valley Fusion 97’s loss of a provincial championship game. Despite the fact the team dropped a 7-0 decision to the Delta Heat in the A finals, the girls came out the big winners in the eyes of their coaches, opponents and parents who were on hand to watch an amazing display of sportsmanship in Victoria. Especially in a time when it’s easy to lose your faith in sports. Professional athletes dominate the sports pages, airwaves, and highlight reels for all the wrong reasons. Lance Armstrong climbed sport’s highest peaks, only to be proven a fraud. The news coming from the NFL off this season reads more like crime fiction than football. In baseball, the stench of steroids wafts over the league like a bad smell. Alex Rodriguez and a dozen other players are the latest in a long list of players who have forsaken the integrity of the game for their own financial gain. Now any player who has a great year is a suspect. Just ask Baltimore Orioles slugger Chris Davis. On pace for a 50-plus home run season, whispers sur-

round not his accomplishments, but rather if he’s juicing. Fair or not, it’s the state of the game, no matter what the sport is. Honour, among athletes, appears to be something of the past. But don’t tell that to Maple Ridge’s Shae Domitruk. Playing catcher for the rep A Fraser Valley Fusion 97 girls fastpitch team, she and her teammates did more than their part to restore anyone’s faith in sportsmanship. The Fusion were battling one of their biggest rivals, the Surrey Storm in the playoffs of the U16 A provincial finals in Victoria. Up 6-3 in the 5th inning, the Storm looked to tied with one swing of the bat. The Storm’s Raelyn Radovich went deep on a long fly ball to straight away centre field. “There was no question it was a home run,” said Domitruk, who attends Samuel Robertson Secondary. But Radovich blew out her knee rounding first, a suspected tear of her MCL. She attempted to keep going, but by the time she approached third, her knee gave out and she crumpled to the ground, writhing in pain. Unable to get up and complete the bases, Radovich was a sitting target for an easy out. It didn’t matter how deep she crushed the ball, she was a sitting duck. Since Radovich had made it past first base on her own, the rules prohibited her from being helped by her teammates or coaches.

Maple Ridge’s Shae Domitruk, catcher, helps an injured Surrey Storm player reach home. That’s when Domitruk and her teammates decided to take action into their own hands. Fusion players quickly gathered around to see if Radovich was OK. It became obvious she wasn’t going to be able to make home on her own. “No one really said anything at first,” said the Maple Ridge backstop. “We just went out there and picked her up and carried over home plate.” To the delight of everyone on hand, the Fusion proved there is

still sports being played the right way.“It was awesome,” said Fusion coach Gord O’Grady. “They did it completely on their own,” said O’Grady. “They knew it was the right thing to do. It was a very special moment I won’t ever forget.” The coach said many of his players had seen a similar situation play out in the NCAA a few years back.While the umpires originally weren’t going to let the Fusion carry the injured player home, they relented when they could see it the determination in the faces of all the

players and coaches on both teams, said O’Grady. He said it’s not something he expects many players will ever experience again Nor will Domitruk. The backstop, who also share time at second base, said there was no question among teammates what needed to be done. She was proud of the fact they didn’t let the heat of a playoff game get in the way of their own team’s integrity. “If it happened to one of our players, we would hope they would do the same for us,” she explained. “It was such a good hit. She deserved a home run. We’re not going to play the game unfairly.” Mike Palmer, head coach of the Storm, was equally impressed with display of sportsmanship from their heated rivals. “I was a little taken back and surprised at first,” said the Storm coach. “It’s one in a million chance that the players gets hurt rounding the bases and can’t make it home. It’s quite amazing that they thought to do that.” He said he’s hoping his players learn a valuable lesson from what they experienced in Victoria. The Fusion went on to grind out a 9-7 win over the Storm. From there, they won two more games to make it to the finals before bowing out to Delta. But for Domitruk, who has already won three provincial fastpitch titles, the silver medal is clearly a golden moment. “I’m just so proud of our team. It was pretty cool.”

Silver and bronze for local Burrards Team B.C. takes home medals in pee wee bantam and midget lacrosse nationals contributed

The Ridge Meadows Burrards did their part to help Team B.C. bring home a silver and two bronze medals at the national lacrosse championships recently. The bantam team dropped a 9-1 decision to Ontario in the finals in Winnipeg and finished the tournament with a 6-2 record. Team B.C. beat Iroquois twice on the second to last day of the tournament for a chance at gold. They won 7-6 in double overtime to start the day and again 5-3 to advance. The team featured Burrards’ William Clayton, Connor Evers, Dylan McIntosh, and Daytin Vidovich. In the pee wee division, Team B.C. beat up on Alberta 8-2 to win the bronze at the nationals in Whitby, Ont. The pee wee squad closed out round robin play with a rare 11-0 shutout win. The team dropped a 4-1 decision to Iroquois for a chance to advance to the gold medal game. The team featured Burrards’ Drew Andre, Dylan Ford and Lochlan Munro. Goaltender Thomas Hankins was the lone Burrads representative for Team B.B.’s midget squad. The goalie lead the team to a bronze in Whitby after a thrilling 8-7 win over their rivals from Alberta. It was the second win over Alberta in three days as the midgets tripped them up 7-4 in the final game of round robin play. The midget team lost 10-3 to Iroquois for a chance to advance to the gold medal game.

It is with sudden shock and lasting sadness that our family informs you of the passing of our Son, Friend, Father, Partner and Gramps. Like his daughter Tasha (1986 - 2007) before him, Cyril died suddenly and without pain, with friends, in the throws of doing what he loved.

Cyril is survived by his parents Bill and Diane Barry of Maple Ridge, spouse Patty Brown, son Trevor (Christine) Barry, step-daughter Melissa Chequer (Brad Fraser) & grandchildren Nathaniel Barry and Isabella & Jaxon Fraser. He will also be missed by man’s - best - friend Tessa, old MRSS and CPR buddies, Wet Coast Wood Butchers, Glimpse Lake fisherman, and of course the RidgeMeadows business community and his customers and staff at Westside Auto (see the “Car Care” page 4).
