Fire destroys cedar shake, shingle plant Owner, however, vows to rebuild; mill not affected by M on i sh a M ar ti n s staff reporter

The company that owns a cedar remanufacturing plant destroyed by fire early Wednesday in Maple Ridge wants to rebuild to gets its employees back to work. Imperial Cedar Products Ltd. has already begun sifting through the charred remains of the building on River Road near 236th Street, looking for any equipment that can be saved. “We are in the process of evaluating what equipment is salvageable and have every intention of being up and running,” office administrator Steffie Amlee said Thursday, a day after a fire roared through a plant used to make cedar shake and shingles. Imperial Cedar’s sawmill, located on a lot at the back of the property closer to the Fraser River, was not damaged. The blaze at the remanufacturing plant started around 1 a.m. Wednesday. see Fire, p11

Garbage collection debate stifled Recycling district service, trash to stay private by Ne i l Co r b e t t staff reporter

Sports: Ridge boxing club siblings ready for nationals. see story, p42

Coun. Corisa Bell wants Maple Ridge to investigate the possibility of municipal waste collection, but four veteran council members shot down her motion at Tuesday night’s council meeting. Bell noted that when council last discussed this topic, it was voted

down to avoid the cost of an $85,000 study, and because council was cautioned that requesting expressions of interest could lead to contractual obligations. Bell said council has since learned that businesses will provide information at no cost to the district, with no obligation. She said she intuitively believes that one operator picking up garbage at every home in the district could do the task more efficiently, and for a better price for homeowners, than multiple operators with customers spread across the municipality.

deemed confidential, it could be put to referendum in the next election. Coun. Bob Masse spoke in favour of her resolution, and said council could explore the possibilities in a manner that does not commit the municipality to a new system. He also noted that kitchen and yard waste are part of the collection service in Pitt Meadows, and could be added here. Coun. Mike Morden also supported it, but wanted to go further, and obtain the cost for collection of all solid waste. see Garbage, p12

Downtown enhancement surrounds Chances New route from bypass to commercial district by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

Extensive roadwork underway on the Lougheed Highway through downtown Maple Ridge has slowed commuters to a single-lane crawl. Municipal hall has embarked on a repaving project in concert with roadworks being completed by the operator of the new community gaming centre, Chances, being built near the junction of 227th Street and Highway 7. District of Maple Ridge communications manager Fred Armstrong said complaints about roadwork slowing traffic are echoing across the Lower Mainland, and beautiful weather is the cause. Pavers are rushing to get their work done while the sun shines, and before inevitable fall rains bring pooling water that would delay their projects. “We’ve had the best August for construction,” he said. The latest phase in the district’s downtown enhancement project began in late July, was scheduled to be completed by early October, and is ahead of schedule thanks to the favourable weather.

Specs

From 226th to 228th Streets, grinding work was completed midweek, and crews with contractor Imperial Paving are doing work which includes fresh pavement, curbs, sidewalks, medians, street furniture, street lighting and planted trees. In general, it is a downtown beautification project, with design themes to match earlier downtown enhancements, and which is designed to improve vehicle and pedestrian traffic flow. It will provide a gateway on the eastern side of downtown, at a cost of approximately $1 million. Once the project is completed, only the gap on Lougheed Highway between 224th and 226th streets will need renovation. Great Canadian Gaming is also responsible for some of the paving, which will open up 227th Street from the Lougheed to the Haney Bypass for the first time, offering easy access from the bypass to downtown. The new gaming centre is scheduled to open this fall. There has been a lot of work on the Lougheed Highway lately. The Ministry of Highways is doing highway delineation work between from 240th Street to 287th Street – the Mission border – which includes centreline rumble strips and raised pavement markings. That is a $75,000 project. The ministry recently completed resurfacing of Highway 7 from the Haney Bypass and River Road to 272nd Street, at a cost of $2.59 million.

Local school district enrolment continues to decline But more students arrive for kindergarten by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

Enrolment in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District is slightly ahead of projections, but down overall. The number of students is down approximately 163 full-time equivalents (FTEs) from the 2012-2013 enrolment of 14,019 students, but that is 27 more than the district had budgeted

for. The youngest learners are on the increase in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. “The kindergarten numbers are higher than they have been in years,” deputy superintendent Laurie Meston told trustees at their second board meeting of the new school year on Wednesday evening. She said kindergarten enrolment is at 1,038, which is up from 996 last year. Based on her personal experience, Meston predicted that next year’s kindergarten signup may be lower than projections.

“I believe it’s because people like to have babies two years apart,” she theorized. Meston noted secondary enrolment numbers continue to decline. Even though schools are funded by the education ministry on a per-pupil basis, at a rate of $8,603 per student, the 27 unexpected students will not be a financial windfall for the district. School districts with declining enrolment – which is most school boards across the province – are “topped up” by a policy called funding protection, explained secretary treasurer Flavia Coughlan. It is an acknowledgement that

boards with declining enrolment still face rising costs due to inflation. The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows district is already receiving funding protection, so the additional students will not create more provincial funding. She noted that in March the government announced that per pupil funding would increase, but that did not improve the local district’s financial position, because funding protection decreased by a corresponding amount. The per pupil funding increase meant grants to eight school districts increased, while 52 districts were left to share funding protec-

tion of $39 million.

“I believe it’s because people like to have babies two years apart.” Laurie Meston, deputy superintendent Across B.C., student enrolment has dropped almost 10 per cent since the 2000-2001 school year. The final numbers for the local school district will be known at the end of September.

Drug and alcohol facility located in Hammond A drug and alcohol treatment centre proposed for a Hammond neighbourhood got the go-ahead from Maple Ridge council Tuesday, along with an appeal to the builder to ensure the new building fits the heritage character that is important to residents. A residential property will be the site of the treatment centre, built at 20581 and 20591 Maple Cr., and the latter land already has an institutional zoning and recovery house. The Innervisions Recovery Society is partnering with B.C. Housing in a 41-bed project, and partial funding has been supplied by the federal government through the Homelessness Partnering Strategy. It will be built in two phases. Innervisions already operates Hannah House at the corner of Laity Street and Dewdney Trunk Road, which is a treatment centre with a 60-day drug and alcohol recovery program. Coun. Corisa Bell opposed the centre, based on concerns from Hammond residents who said at a public hearing that the institution would not fit with the heritage character of the neighbourhood.

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

A new leader With Adrian Dix now the outgoing NDP leader – the second to resign in less than three years – the search is on to find the Official Opposition’s new leader. Second runner up to Dix in 2011, Juan de Fuca MLA and Langford resident John Horgan is arguably Greater Victoria’s strongest candidate for the top job. A three-term MLA and with a high profile as energy critic and house leader, Horgan is the regions most charismatic probable candidate to lead the NDP. Victoria-Swan Lake MLA Rob Fleming, another three-term veteran, is another viable candidate as education critic, a portfolio fraught with controversy if there ever was one. Other names have also been floated: Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson. Although an outside chance, Carole James could take a shot at her old job. During his resignation announcement last week, Dix said this province doesn’t need a “second [B.C.] Liberal party.” It’s advice any leadership candidate should heed. The NDP might be tempted more than ever to fundamentally rewrite party policy and edge toward the political right as a reaction to the party’s election loss, and the earlier round of infighting that led to Carole James stepping down in 2011. The problem with the NDP isn’t its core values and ideology. The problem is the NDP picks its leaders more on party loyalty than who has the spirit and drive to connect with voters. NDP party members and insiders have done a lot of navel gazing this year about their election loss. It’s time for the opposition to refocus and think about what kind of leader it wants to act as a check and counterweight to the Liberals’ economic agenda. – Black Press

Kudos to those protecting Blaney A

t first, a newly installed irrigation pump from a Golden Eagle cranberry field into Blaney Creek seemed like a picture of three bananas and a nail. This tiny stream feeds the North Alouette River. It’s a thriving aquatic Along the Fraser ecosystem supporting salmonids. Was it Jack Emberly possible to pump water from here without harmful impact? The answer contains surprises. Blaney is a stretch of pristine water that meanders through Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. I enter it off Neaves Road to paddle up in my kayak. At low tide, there’s little water beneath me at spots. At the pump site about 300 meters east of Neaves, there’s a meter or so at low tide, and three when tidal backflow from the Pitt River is complete. But, tidal influence, and how it would mitigate the extraction of water from Blaney, is not a concern for a key character in this tale, the Ministry of Land, Forests, and Natural Resources, which issued the short-term water use permit in effect here. The STU only stipulates the minimal water level in the creek when the pump is operating, and when it must stop. The official document I recently obtained reads: “Any diversion of water

uestion of the week:

(section r) from the stream is prohibited if the average depth of the stream in the proximity of the intake is 1.0 meters or less.” Could this be the nail? Dr. Marvin Rosenau, of the Fish, Wildlife, and Recreation Program at BCIT recommends a different criteria for pumping. “The key issue is what is the in-stream flow at the time of withdrawal,” says Rosenau. “You don’t want to see downstream habitats dewatered as a result of the pumps sucking out too much. If withdrawal takes place when tides are backflooding Blaney from the Pitt River, there is likely not to be a problem. But, if you draw just from there [Blaney] you have a potential of dewatering, especially if the downstream is shallow.” It is. What is the ministry’s reply? “Incoming, outgoing, it doesn’t matter, as long as there’s one meter at input,” said Brennan Clarke, ministry spokesperson. The amount of water that would be extracted is also significant. The pumps are allowed to pull 0.45 cubic meters of water a second (document, section f). I asked Geoff Clayton of ARMS about the figure. “That’s a lot of water,” he said, “about 15 c feet a second. It would be harmful to take that out of Blaney at low tide. You’re reducing the cross sectional area of a stream – it may be 15 feet wide normally, but only five feet wide then. That backwatering from the Pitt for all the aquatic sedges that are part of the

food web is all- important. The frogs rely on that water, the mink, the river otters, all the stream bank creatures have just had half their home taken away from them. It’s not just fish survivability, it’s the whole community.” I’ve watched deer, and bears drink from the shallow water upstream near Codd Island nature reserve, and sandhill cranes seek out quiet places to nest. The Alouette Field Naturalists and Pitt Polder Society brought these birds back to one of their last refuges. Upper Blaney is a sanctuary for the family of otters I’ve seen play in the creek. Obviously, Blaney’s environmental friends will want to preserve the creek for all of them, but, so too – and this is the good news – will Golden Eagle, the company that holds the STU. According to The News (Sept. 20), company spokesman John Negrin, said the pump would only operate at high tide, and records of water use will be reported regularly to the ministry. “We predict and apply only the water that’s needed,” Negrin said. It was the second time we’ve heard the assurance. On Sept. 13, Meadows Operations Supervisor, Randy Evans told The News the company would only pump at high tide. Kudos to the company. Pumping at high tide extends a hand to the environmental community here, and raises the bar for the ministry charged with protecting the resource.

The News/letters iPads are nice, but not a necessity Editor, The News: Re: CUPE deal to bring more cuts (The News, Sept. 25). How about instead of cutting from the little people, we start looking at all the managers and trustees salaries and cut from there? We are already spread out thinner than we need to be. Look at money being spent on iPads for students and laptops for every teacher. Yes, this is nice, but not a necessity. Or the lunches for meetings and expenses that are paid out to contractors? There are many ways to find cost savings without eliminating or cutting hours of people’s jobs. The government also needs to step in and give the boards more money. Sue Bentley Maple Ridge

Door open to collaboration Emberly from p6

This voluntary gesture opens the door to collaboration with municipal councils, other community water use stakeholders that we haven’t seen in the past. In my Grade 6 classroom, our motto was ‘working together,’ we succeed together. Some kids later reported they couldn’t see that idea in the grown-up world. I hope they note this example. It may open the door to inclusive planning of sustainable water use in this community, and reveal a picture without a nail. Jack Emberly is a retired teacher, local author and environmentalist.

online comments Nail in coffin • Cheryl McNevin Baron · Elphinstone Secondary School: Re: Hammond residents don’t want treatment centre. I don’t object to a treatment centre in Hammond. What I do object to is tearing down a heritage building and replacing it with a new one that doesn’t fit the character of the area. Other municipalities embrace, enhance and protect their heritage areas. Not quite sure why Maple Ridge doesn’t do the same. A revitalized Port Hammond, a 140-year-old community, would bring tourists and badly needed dollars to town. Allowing this project to go ahead as proposed will be yet another nail in the coffin of this unique community. • Ryan Hoon Schmidt · Surrey: Re: Pitt Meadows Airport neighbours call for an end to autocross events. And airplanes aren’t noisy? You live next to an active airport runway, you should be used to noise. Maybe if you came to an event and participated you would realize just how important this kind of event really is to young, new drivers.

Liberals positioned as builders P

remier Christy Clark’s pledge to replace the George Massey Tunnel with a bridge was the biggest news to come out of the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, and the new bridge will have a major impact on Delta, Surrey and White Rock. Clark said construction will begin in 2017, which (not by coincidence) is an election year. The Liberals would dearly like to win back the Delta-South seat, which independent MLA Vicki Huntington has now won twice. But the bridge is not tied to an election as much as it is the latest in a series of replacements of aging major river and lake crossings. The biggest one, of course, is the new Port Mann Bridge. But there is also the Pitt River Bridge, the W.R. Bennett Bridge in Kelowna, and the Kicking Horse bridge east of Golden on Highway 1. In doing so, the Liberals have positioned themselves as builders of infrastructure on a scale comparable to that done by premiers W.A.C. Bennett and Bill Bennett. This has always been popular in B.C. and serves to position the province for future growth. In the case of the Deas Island crossing, a new bridge would serve a number of purposes. It would ease

Have city hear your voice before it’s too late Editor, The News: City hall staff could be in discussions with a developer, planning an infill project in your neighbourhood, and you wouldn’t even know until there is a letter on your doorstep, inviting you to come and hear all about it. We know. Mitchell Road neighbours have been fighting an ‘overwhelming infill development for over a year. City staff were in discussions with the developer for more than six months before we, the neighbourhood, were included in the conversation. And, by then, it was too late.

There’s a death knell sounding for an oak tree which casts a large shadow on a lot opposite Maureen Robertson’s house, or so she fears. She doubts the leafy giant, which is probably close to a century old, will find a home in the Brogden Brown development, a new 40-unit townhouse complex planned for the site. “It would be nice it if they could save it,” Robertson said. Tenacious as she is, Robertson has accepted she must compromise. For the past year, she and her neighbours have battled city hall and a developer, who plans to build the townhomes on three properties totalling 0.93 hectares (2.2 acres) on Mitchell Road. Initially pitched as a 63-townhouse complex, Brogden Brown’s developer has reduced the size of the project twice to 43 units, just two storeys each. They’ve also included a playground, more permeable areas, more greenery, and more room for recycling and

ment, in an effort to prevent traffic jams and doubling the population of Mitchell Road. At the first information meeting, 20 residents turned up to voice their concerns by the time the project went to public hearing, 40 irate residents gave city councillors a earful. Robertson wants city hall to tweak its planning process to involve neighbours in discussion before any plans are drawn up. She thinks it would be prudent for developers to gauge a neighbourhood’s feelings before proposing what amounts to “overwhelming infill.” Danielle Linfoot agrees. “It took a year of fighting to get here,” said Linfoot. “I’m tired. I just wish we were consulted from the start.” The City of Pitt Meadows, however, believes its consultation process for proposed developments is more than adequate. Before any plans are presented to city council, developers must hold information meetings with residents and advertise them for two weeks before the meeting date as well as post signs on the property. Notices are mailed to surrounding property owners. The process then move a rezoning application, if the property needs to be rezones and a public hearing. Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walter believes Brogden Brown’s developer has gone over and above informing the neighbourhood. “We’ve listened to all the neighbours’ concerns, right down to where the garbage bins will be located. I think it’s been a tremendous compromise,” Walters said. The bottom line is the people who are opposed to it want single family housing in that area.” • A public hearing on the Brogden Brown townhouse development takes place at 7 p.m., Oct. 1 at city hall.

sparking, firefighters told Christensen and his girlfriend to leave their home. They were allowed to returned around 2:30 a.m., after the fire was under control. The Maple Ridge Fire Department remained on scene Wednesday, putting out hot spots. Assistant fire chief Mark Smitton confirmed the fire was called in by workers who were coming off the night shift.

Eight fire trucks and 30 firefighters were on scene at the height of the fire. Investigators have photographed the site and a preliminary investigation is complete, but the cause of the fire is still unknown. Crews began scouring the burnt remnants of the plant to figure out what started the blaze. Smitton said digging through the fire scene should help them determine a possible cause.

Coun. Cheryl Ashlie noted that the province is putting more responsibility on companies that produce packaging, and municipalities are just now dealing with the organization Multi-Material B.C. (MMBC), which is a new player in recycling, with the potential to handle recycling for every municipality in the province. Council’s first offer from MMBC was not well received. “The whole arena is in a state of flux,” said Ashlie, adding the municipality would be wise to not take any new initiatives at this time, but “sit on the sidelines and watch.” She cited a staff estimate that providing garbage collection to every home in Maple Ridge would hike taxes 10 per cent. Coun. Al Hogarth said there was “extensive exploration” of this topic about a year ago, and he too would rather see what proposals MMBC comes up with next. “It would be more appropriate to wait and see the results of the whole process,” said Hogarth. He has heard feedback from members of the public who prefer to keep

their garbage collection private, because it is affordable. “I think we have a pretty good system right now,” said Hogarth. Mayor Ernie Daykin was cautious about asking for quotes, saying if council goes on a “fishing expedition” for more affordable garbage collection, “we could be on the hook for a contract.” Masse said there would be no harm in finding out whether there are cost savings to be had. “Get the information, put it in front of the public, and let them say whether they want it.” Speaking to the district’s mandate to reduce greenhouse gasses, he noted that every diesel garbage truck taken off the road is the equivalent of 450 cars. Masse said he would be willing to wait, to see what offers come from MMBC. On the contrary, Bell said council should get the information beforehand, so it can respond to an MMBC deal with knowledge of alternatives. Masse, Morden and Bell voted to support the initiative, but their motion was defeated on opposing votes by Ashlie, Hogarth, Dueck and Daykin.

remember, not too long ago, on a morning when I was tired and had gone a couple of days without shaving, that when I looked in the mirror I felt I was staring directly into my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face.Â As you age, your genetics start to match those of your parents more than you might like them to. It occurred at a time when I was thinking a lot about my father.Â He was ill, he needed some support, I was wrestling with the options that were available to us as a family and I was reading a lot and asking a lot of questions.Â My intention was to be of assistance to my parents in navigating the health care system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where they lived â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but as time went along, and the image of my father in my mirror became a bit more haunting, I recognized I was learning for them and for my own family. My father lived a long and reasonably healthy life.Â A glimpse into his senior years provides me with some insight into what my elder years might entail.Â After all, it is just not our image in the mirror that is similar.Â Obviously, we share many common genetic and lifestyle factors with our immediate family.Â Any doctor will start a long-term view of health risks with a clear history of parents. I expect the issues of my father,

however, might well tance of such planning be accelerated in me.Â I before and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want have lived my life with to repeat myself on more stress than he lived some of the issues Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve his (job choices), and I addressed, but I do have done less physical want to suggest that a work and eaten more little research when you processed foods than he are healthy is wise and did.Â Whereas he develthen taking some action oped prostate cancer at steps sooner, rather the age of 69, I develthan later, is doubly oped it at the age of 57.Â wise.

MLAs work on financial disclosure by To m Fletch e r Black Press

VICTORIA – MLA constituency assistants from across B.C. crowded into the idle legislative chamber Wednesday to get up to speed on new financial reporting requirements for their office expenses. Provincial politicians have been working to open up their expense reporting since a 2012 report by former Auditor General John Doyle exposed “pervasive deficiencies” in that and other areas of the legislature’s $70 million operating budget. The first steps after that report were to begin disclosing MLA expense totals on a quarterly basis, and to begin holding meetings of the long-secret Legislative Assembly Management Committee in public. That committee met Tuesday and agreed to extend the deadline to begin detailed expense disclosure from constituency offices from Jan. 1 to April 1. In addition to base pay of more than $101,000 a year and an expense account for travel and accommodation, MLAs receive a constituency allowance of $119,000 a year, mainly

for staff and office space. Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan told the committee he is “absolutely in favour” of disclosing detailed information, but more time is needed, especially with 32 new MLAs elected in May. That means new constituency staff learning accounting procedures on the job, while also learning to handle day-to-day concerns of constituents, many of whom are “in distress,” he said. The committee supported Horgan’s motion to make the first detailed report public April 1, covering the period from Jan. 1 to the end of the provincial fiscal year. MLAs are also preparing to begin detailed disclosure of their personal travel and other expenses. Expense payments to MLAs include a “capital city allowance,” for which most MLAs who live outside Greater Victoria claim $1,000 a month without receipts. With receipts, out-of-town MLAs can claim up to $19,000 a year for rent, mortgage or hotel accommodation while in Victoria on legislature business. MLAs are also eligible for $61 a day for meals while in Victoria on legislature business.

SOLO District soars above Burnaby with Altus By Kerry Vital

Appia Developments is reinforcing its reputation for amazing homes with Altus, the second phase in its SOLO District neighbourhood. Altus will be the tallest building in Burnaby at the equivalent of 55 storeys tall, with office space on the first 14 floors and residential from 200 feet up. “The views start from the bottom (residential) floor,” says Appia Sales and Marketing Manager Lisa Murrell.

With condominium homes ranging from approximately 516 to about 1,700 square feet in a variety of floorplans, it won’t be hard to find your perfect home. Something that sets Altus apart are the choices it offers for three-bedroom units, which is something buyers have been asking for and Appia is happy to be able to provide in the newest phase of SOLO District. Part of the appeal is the huge amenity space that Appia is calling Club 55 with a barbecue area, full kitchen, media area and billiards and ping-pong tables and generous outdoor deck

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

space for residents of Altus, to be located on the top floor of the tower. The office tower will include a gym that residents have access to as well, and a multi-sport court on the third floor. SOLO District will eventually be comprised of four residential towers and over 1,400 homes. The community will also include Burnaby’s first Whole Foods, commercial opportunities, office space and tons of green space. “There are several other exciting anchor tenants to be announced,” says Murrell. “This is a very, very cool community.” Walkability was one of the more important aspects, Murrell says. “There’s everything you could possibly need here,” she notes. “It’s been really well-received by the community.” SOLO District is perfectly situated for transit, shopping, education and leisure activities. The Brentwood Skytrain station is just steps away, along with Brentwood Town Centre. Golf courses, parks and fitness facilities are also nearby. Homes at SOLO District start at $293,900. For more information about Altus and SOLO District, visit www. solodistrict.com or call 604-298-8800.

North Burnaby is a vibrant place full of things to do, from rowing on Burnaby Lake, above, to shopping at Brentwood Town Centre, right. If it’s higher education you’re after, Simon Fraser University, above right, has been rated as one of the top universities in Canada.

North Burnaby a thriving neighbourhood By Kerry Vital

North Burnaby is a rapidly growing region, with plenty of opportunities for shopping, dining, education and recreation, from golf courses to rowing to swimming. The area is an exciting place to live and is becoming a major urban centre in its own right. Never boring and always busy, North Burnaby is becoming the place to be. North Burnaby, also known as the Brentwood area, is about 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver via SkyTrain, and about 30 minutes from the Vancouver International

Airport. This contributes to the popularity of the neighbourhood with young professionals; about 39 per cent of the population in the area is between the ages of 20 and 44. Among the notable developers who are building in North Burnaby are Appia Developments, Ledingham McAllister, Bosa Development and Embassy Developments. It is hard to be bored in North Burnaby, with its selection of parks, art galleries, museums and theatres. If it’s a bit of culture you’re looking for, you can start up on Burnaby Mountain at the Simon Fraser University Art Gallery. It’s open to the public free of charge and the displays change every few months. Simon Fraser also houses the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, which showcases artifacts from around the world. There are several parks in Burnaby, so outdoor activity is never far away. Burnaby Lake Regional Nature Park surrounds the lake. The park includes a dog off-leash area, the Burnaby Sports Complex,

the Burnaby Equestrian Centre and several walking and cycling trails. However, its biggest draw is the lake itself, which has a rowing course for canoeing, kayaking and rowing training. Confederation Park is also an activity hub, with walking trails, a skate park, a lacrosse box, a running track, a community centre, several picnic sites and playgrounds, baseball diamonds and other playing fields. It’s also home to the McGill branch of the Burnaby Public Library and the Eileen Dailly Leisure Pool and Fitness Centre. North Burnaby is also full of opportunities for all levels of education. The largest institution is Simon Fraser University, just a few minutes from the centre of North Burnaby on Burnaby Mountain. The British Columbia Institute of Technology also has its main campus in Burnaby. North Burnaby is a well-connected city, with several options for public transportation, walking or cycling if you feel like leaving your

car behind. Because it’s nearly the centre of the Metro Vancouver area, it is easy to get on your way, whatever way you choose. Food is a necessity of life, and it’s highly likely that shopping is as well. Luckily, North Burnaby has many options for both. Your first stop for some retail therapy is Brentwood Town Centre, located right in the centre of North Burnaby and well-served by transit, including its own SkyTrain station. With department stores and smaller shops all in one place, you’ll be able to do much of your shopping in one spot. North Burnaby is a chef ’s dream, with stores such as Bosa Foods, famous for amazing Italian imports, and Cioffi’s Meat Market and Deli, which offers an array of fresh cheeses, dried pastas, olive oils, premium meats and homemade sausages, among other products. Grocery stores such as Safeway and Save-On Foods are also in the area. If you’re looking for a night out, there are many options for casual or fine dining as well.

Little green monsters By Mike Lascelle

f it wasn’t for the morbid curiosity of 10-year-old kids, I’m not entirely sure that there would be a viable market for carnivorous plants as it takes the innocence of childhood to be objective about the rather gruesome act of ingesting another living being – although every time we go out to a restaurant we see ordinary people chomping down on chicken, pig and cow (no offense to the vegans out there), albeit dead, processed and usually somewhat seasoned to taste. Still, carnivorous plants are a bit of an anomaly, an evolutionary miracle that still retains the normal processes of flowering and reproduction by seed, but whose primary feeding involves the digestion and osmosis of nutrients by means of pitfall traps (Sarracenia or Pitcher Plants), sticky tentacles (Drosera or Sundew) or modified leaves (Dionaea muscipula or Venus Flytrap) that act as spring traps, closing upon prey as soon as the internal plant hairs are disturbed.

Still, carnivorous plants are a bit of an anomaly, an evolutionary miracle that still retains the normal processes of flowering and reproduction by seed, but whose primary feeding involves the digestion and osmosis of nutrients. One of the reasons for this unusual means of attaining nutrients is that many carnivorous plants grow in acidic bogs or as epiphytes (such as some Nepenthes) on bushes or trees, with both these environments limiting the potential of nutrient uptake by conventional roots – hence, the adaptation to next most common source of food in swamps and jungles – bugs. Some of these such as the Venus Flytrap are rare in the wild and can only be found within a 60-mile radius of Wilmington, North Carolina – although it has naturalized in parts of Florida. As I found out recently, they are no longer just ‘Little Green Monsters,’ but are

now available in a fabulous array of colours, including burgundy (‘Akai Ryu’ or ‘Red Dragon’), green with a contrasting red ‘mouth’ (‘B-52’) and bright chartreuse (‘Justina Davis’), with most of these being produced through cloning or tissue-culture. The care of Venus Flytraps is specialized and you will need to use only rain or distilled water, allowing them to wick up the moisture from the bottom. It is also important not to trip the traps without feeding them (kids will often poke them incessantly), as each can only open three to four times during its lifespan and you can’t use fertilizers, as these harm the plants. The biggest mistake most people make is not giving their Venus Flytrap a dormant period (placing in a cool, dark place such as northfacing window for about three months) – if left in a heated house over winter, it is likely to

perish. Pitcher Plants, or Sarracenia, are the next most common cultivated carnivorous plant and these trap insects with upward facing pitfall traps or tubes with digestive juices accumulated at the bottom (most keep the rainwater out with a hood or operculum). Insects enter the tube, attracted by nectar glands, and are unable to get out due to slippery sides and downward-facing hairs that do not allow them to back up. Over time, the prey drowns and is digested by the enzymes. But the tubes do fill up with bug corpses and eventually slough off at the end of the season. I remember an incident a few years back when I was pruning out the old bug-filled pitchers one autumn and the one I had just cut off started vibrating in my hand like a pager. It scared the heck out of me, so I dropped it

Jennifer suggests: “Fall is a great time for planting. The ground is optimum in September for great root establishment.” (Van. Sun pg C4, Aug. 31/12)

immediately, although once opened I found a living bumble bee at the top who happily flew away once freed from the plant hairs. As with all temperate plants (they are native from Canada down to the southern United States), they require a winter dormancy or cold period, but can easily be grown outdoors in containers, such as those featured at VanDusen Gardens. Sundews or Drosera actually grow locally in the boggy edges of Whonnock Lake (D. rotundifolia), although the one you are likely to find in the store is Drosera capensis, a South African native. This, along with Nepenthes or Tropical Pitcher Plant (which is often grown in hanging baskets), both thrive indoors during our winters, so you still enjoy your gore-fest during the off season. • For more on carnivorous plants, visit www.mikesgardentop5plants.wordpress.com.

o you remember learning how to write? Practising in your

school notebooks, repeating cursive letters of the alphabet, until finally mastering each individual script, then joining each letter, composing full sentences. Now can you remem-

ber the last time you sat down to pen a letter? Not an e-mail, but a letter that requires a stamp and a trip to the post office to mail it. There is no denying that technological ad-

get lost. In the museum collection there is a “calling card tray,” a family heirloom of the Sinclair family of Haney, used in the early 1900s. It was proper etiquette when calling on a household, to leave a card for the head of the household, or others if they were not home. In upper class houses, a servant would typically answer the door with a tray similar to this at the ready. The equivalent today might to send a text message, or to call and leave voice mail for someone if they are not home. Although the majority of our words are now typed to each other electronically, it is still important to utilize our writing skills. Not only so we will be able to fill out routine forms, but writing also allows us to practise our hand-eye coordination and from a historical perspective, knowing how to read and write cursive is still an imperative tool. Transcription is a large part of the work done at the museum, and knowing how to read longhand is essential. Being able to keep the words alive from the diaries of early settlers to the area is a continued resource. Even after they are transcribed, it is vital the original source can still be read. Besides preserving

Maple Ridge Museum

Four postmen posing in their new summer uniforms, outside the Haney Post Office (1973). the written word for historical means, the act of letter writing and sending information to communicate with others through the postal system was (and arguably still is) the cornerstone of a community. In 1874, Maple Ridge was incorporated as a district when eight separate communities realized that they would be further ahead to pool their resources. Having a shared postal operation was one of them. The first post office in Maple Ridge opened on Oct. 1, 1876, with W.J. Howison as postmaster. His store and post office was located on the present Pine Street, just south of Maple Ridge Hospital. In this early business centre of Maple Ridge, there was also the school, a boarding house, Mr. Isaac’s store, and the Methodist church, which stood on River Road east of Laity Street. In 1885, the Maple Ridge Post Office closed to make way for new

offices in Port Haney and Port Hammond, both named after founding citizens. The Whonnock Post Office also opened in 1885. All three of these openings were related to the coming of the CPR and its stations. As postal districts became larger and door-to-door delivery from a central station more common, all the local postal addresses were gradually taken under the umbrella of “Maple Ridge”. The name of the first and most short-lived local postal address was to be applied to the whole district as of 1970. While there is certainly no denying that all of our handwriting has suffered with computerized text, it does not mean that our communication needs to. We already process the skills, they just need to be dusted off and practised every so often. Allison White is curator of the Maple Ridge Museum.

Rejoice because thorn bushes have roses Women Only!

y son-in-law is a farmer. In fact, he and my grandson are the sixth and seventh generations working their 134-yearold family farm. I find farm life interesting, but realize that, having been born and raised in Vancouver, I have a lot to learn. I think my biggest city-girl faux pas so far was calling a hay field an empty lot, much to my son-in-law’s horror. To him, it is much more: it is a productive field that is an integral part of the farm’s operation and provision. This experience made me realize that it is important to open our minds to new and different viewpoints. To also intentionally step back at times to see if we can experience things in a fresh way. We should have a willingness to change our perspective of circumstances and people. I believe that kind of openness and flexibility keeps us young, vital, and growing.

Our perspective impacts our entire life in areas such as health, relationships, behaviour, and events. Whether the impact is negative or positive is up to us. For example, if we view circumstances as negative, chances are the outcome and our response will be negative. A good example of this comes from Abraham Lincoln, who said, “We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.” From this, we see how our perspective can cause us to react in a negative or positive way. Another example is portrayed by the Apostle Paul, who wrote that his imprisonment had served to advance the gospel (Philippians 1:12-14). He did not dwell on the hardship and suffering of his imprisonment, but instead shared the exciting news of what God accomplished through it. Paul was able to view his situation in that way because of his close

Kinna committs to Northwestern Wildcats Lacrosse standout heading to NCAA after winning three national titles in two years by T i m Fi t z g e r a l d contributor

or the past two years, Megan Kinna feels like she’s been running non-stop. Between her time representing B.C. in both box and field lacrosse, the 15-year-old Maple Ridge standout has been busy balancing her commitment to athletics and her school work. With two box lacrosse national titles and a field lacrosse championship on her resume in the past two years, coupled with her honour roll standing at Samuel Robertson Technical School, Kinna can take a moment to catch her breath after committing to one of the NCAA’s topDdivision 1 field lacrosse programs. The Grade 10 student will suit up for Northwestern University in Chicago, Ill. after she graduates in the summer of 2016. “I’m really excited for the opportunity,” said Kinna. “Northwestern was on the top of my list. They have an excellent program and a great coach.” Kinna will be playing under head coach Kelly Amonte Hiller, the sister of former NHLer Tony Amonte. However, the head coach’s record speaks for itself. She has guided the Wildcats to seven national lacrosse titles to go with the two national titles she won as a player. Kinna said she also considered Syracuse, Ohio State, Duke, Denver, and Canisius, but said she felt the Wildcats weres her best option to develop as a player. Before heads to Chicago, Kinna said she hopes to accomplish more on the national stage. “I’m really hoping I can make the Canadian national team heading to Scotland for the world championships in 2015,” said Kinna. Kinna started playing box lacrosse on boys’ teams at the age of four and said she owes a deep debt of gratitude to local coaches. “They took a chance and taught me how to play big and tough in boys’ lacrosse,” she said. It wasn’t until her teens that she made the switch over to playing strictly against girls. She also makes she she’s giving back to the sport that she says has given her so much, by refereeing. Kinna said she also appreciates her Team B.C. coaches for teaching her how to prepare for competition at the National Level. She said it’s been one of the key areas in her development that has made securing a scholarship possible. “I wouldn’t be anywhere without the help of Dan Stroup, Derek Milani, Pat Coyle, Naomi Walser, and Rey Comeault,” she said.

Maple Ridge’s Megan Kinna won a pair of gold medals at the Canadian nationals on Oshawa, Ont. this year, both in field and box lacrosse.

Fridge out as coach of Burrards after disappointing end to season by T i m Fi t z g e r a l d contributor

Darren Fridge is out as head coach of the Maple Ridge Burrards. Fridge said management

has decided to go in a different direction behind the bench in hopes of turning around the WLA squad’s fortunes. The Burrards started the season with a 5-2 record and seemed poised to make it back to the playoffs after

missing out the year before. However, a 3-8 finish cost the team a spot at the dance and, ultimately, Fridge his position as head coach. “July was a real difficult month for me as a coach,” said Fridge, who has served

as a coach and assistant coach with the team for 11 years. “I understand the decision. We didn’t get the results we wanted.” He said his team struggled in the third period of games this year, losing a number of

“I’ve loved my time coaching with the Burrards and grateful for everything,” said Fridge. He will stay on as general manager as they look for a new coach, which he hopes to be in place by November.

The need to get off the couch I

n today’s automated, computer oriented world, most of us sit behind a desk at work, sit in a car getting to and from work and then sit on a couch because we’re tired after work. We’ve known for quite a while that too much sitting in any form is bad for us, but there is new research that shows that even if you exercise for an hour a day, three days a week, that sitting too much can negate the health benefits of regular exercise. A study published last year in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity showed that even if you are getting lots of regular exercise, sitting too much may still put you at risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease and a variety of other conditions. Most regular exercisers sit just as much as ‘couch-potatoes’ for the rest of their day and that’s a big problem. The researchers found that people spent an average of 64 hours a week sitting, 28 hours standing, and 11 hours slow walking, whether they exercised the recommended three days a week or not. The American Journal of Epidemiology also reports that sitting for more than six hours a day increases your risk of dying from heart disease by eighteen percent and increases your chance of dying from diabetes by eight percent compared with someone who sits for

Nominate sports heros The deadline for nominations for the Meadowridge Sports Heroes Society’s 2013 Hometown Heroes closes on Sept. 30. Nominees must have participated in our communities’ youth sports and/or school athletic programs, and gone on to compete internationally.

three hours or less a day. Another study of over 3,000 women found that for every two hours they sat in a given work day, their risk for developing diabetes went up seven percent, which means their risk is 56 percent higher on days they sit for eight hours. And still another study of more than 17,000 Canadians over 12 years, researchers found that the more time people spent sitting, the earlier they died, regardless of age, body weight, or how much they exercised. Regular exercise does much good for you, but if you spend the rest of your waking hours sitting, those health benefits depreciate. Another reason to avoid sitting is for back health. Sitting is just not good for your back.

Haghighat-joo are leading a group of Team B.C. boxes looking to make some noise at the national level. Both will be heading to he national Canadian championships in Regina starting Oct. 22. For Sara (51 kg) , her time in the ring came more out chance than a desire to box. The 19-year-old had been going to the gym to as a way to work out. But after a year of training and some prodding, she decided to step inside and try her luck. “I’ve always been very athletic and enjoyed watching my brother fight,” said Sara. “So I decided to give it a try.” Her immediate success mimicked that of her brother. The pair have won Golden Gloves competitions in B.C. and Alberta and the national Gold Gloves in Corwall, Ont. in July earlier this year. Saran (69 kg), who is on a 14-fight win streak, said like his sister, the key to his success is his work ethic in the ring and in the gym. “If someone is technically better than me, I’ll outwork them,” said the 18-year-old. Team B.C. coach Bob Pegues said the two Maple Ridge Boxing Club members are some of the best talent he’s seen in years. “They are both those uniquely talented athletes you don’t see very often,” said Pegues “They have all the tools to go as far as they want. They just need a little more experience.”
