Tracked to Hoffman Park, removed, then killed By M o ni s ha M ar tin s mmartins@mapleridgenews.com

A bear was put down Tuesday after spending four days wandering streets in the centre of Pitt Meadows. The 110-kilogram bruin got hooked on tasty snacks of garbage and kept returning to the city centre for easy meals. Shawn Stevens was just heading out to walk his dogs when he heard a bunch of people yelling on 193A Avenue. He turned around and saw the bear right behind him, heading towards his carport. Scared by the shouts, the bear darted across Stevens’ yard and eventually strolled down a path between two streets. See Bear, 11

Concerns over new park Neighbours irked by removal of tree buffer By Phil M elnyc h u k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

The intent is to divert a small rivulet with poor water quality into a larger stream, create a wetlands areas and build a trail to give people access to a mini rainforest park beside 227th Street in downtown Maple Ridge. But Nina Unger and Janet Na-

don don’t like the changes the work crews have brought in the past week. An excavator has bulldozed a path through the forest floor, ripping open the secluded area. Piles of dirt have been shoved down the bank of the brook that’s a water source for coyotes and deer, and a source of tranquility for those enjoying nature on their balconies. Unger and Nadon each have apartments on Royal Crescent that back on to the ravine.

GJ’s TREE SERVICES

Neither likes the idea of opening up the wooded area, believing it will allow more crime and mischief. “It’s a little hidden gem here, because it’s been so quiet here,” says Unger. Outside her apartment, tall trees line the ravine and filter out the sun, noise and grime of urban life. Nadon says the only people now who know about the place are criminals who use it as a get away from the police.

“We get the police down here a number of times with the dog. We can hear them partying at night.” And what happens to the coyotes, bears and deer if the stream disappears? “They’ve been there for years. That’s their stream,” Nadon said. The contractor started work on B.C. Day on the long weekend, which bothered Nadon. “He was pulling trees out all day. See Park, 10

Why is Sterling Silver

Juicy Goodness!

Beef superior? Let us count the ways.

It’s the best of the best

Handpicked from the best of the highest grade of beef, Sterling Silver beef has more flavour than lower-quality beef, providing exceptional tenderness, juiciness and taste in every bite.

It’s Beautifully Marbled

Marbling is the white flecks of fat within the muscle that melt into the meat as it cooks, giving it succulent flavour and texture. Sterling Silver beef is highly marbled for superior taste and texture.

It’s aged just right

Sterling Silver cuts are aged no fewer than 21 days to maximize tenderness and richness of flavour.

Living the Big Bang Theory By Nei l Corbe tt ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

itt Meadows secondary science wiz Kylie Parent spent two weeks of her summer living the Big Bang Theory – both as the title applies to the theory of how the universe was born, and to the popular sitcom.

Parent was one of 40 successful applicants from across the globe who applied to attend a two-week summer program for high school students at a theoretical physics school in Waterloo, Ont. It was physics summer camp. The Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics is the world’s largest independent institute of its kind. Every year, the PI runs the International Summer School for Young Physicists, aimed at students with an interest in physics, and who are going to study it at the post secondary level. This year, it was attended by students from the United States, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Greece, Israel, England, Poland, Australia, Singapore and Pitt Meadows. “Could Kylie Parent of Pitt Meadows be the next Einstein? She’s on the right path,” said a press release

Kylie Parent of Pitt Meadows secondary spent part of her summer studying theoretical physics at the Perimeter Institute in Waterloo, Ont. from the institute. Parent certainly shows some impressive academic aptitude, with marks of 100 per cent in physics, 98 per cent in math and all of her grades over 90 per cent.

She learned about the institute, and with her interested in physics already sparked at Pitt Meadows secondary, she decided to apply. Of the 400 applications, she was accepted.

“The students chosen are traditionally more than just the top science students in their class - they have shown a drive for learning above and beyond the traditional physics classroom,” said Perimeter Institute spokesman Eamon O’Flynn. Despite the fact that her friends dismissed two weeks at the prestigious International Summer School for Young Physicists as “Nerd camp,” off she went. Parent said the institute professors, with 40 extremely capable students and one subject to focus on, were able to cover light years of physics in two relatively short weeks. They tried university level concepts, including special relatively and quantum mechanics. She found it fascinating. “I really didn’t know what it was going to be like,” she admitted. “But even if you were just a little interested in physics, it would expand your knowledge and pique your interest.” One of the highlights was the opportunity to visit Snolab, a physics lab in Sudbury that is 2 km underground. Scientists there search for dark matter – and probably a Nobel Prize if they find what they’re looking for. They limit visits by groups to just three per year. The summer school kids rode an elevator that descended at an ear-popping rate of 640 metres per minute. The scientists’ search is deep under the surface of the earth to help screen out other particles that barrage the planet from space, Parent learned. She found it an impressive facil-

ity. At one time Snolab, in Vale’s Creighton Nickel Mine, was the deepest lab in the world. Now China’s Jinping Underground Laboratory is deeper. Her trip wasn’t all neutrinos, singularities and class time. “I got to meet some people from all over the world with a common interest,” she said. The school takes about half Canadians and the rest international students. Many of the young scholars are bound for Harvard and other prestigious universities, but they were also just kids who enjoyed throwing a frisbee or shooting hoops after classes. The institute has its claims to fame. “We count a number of very high profile physicists as Distinguished Visiting Research Chairs, including Stephen Hawking, S. James Gates Jr., and Leonard Susskind,” said O’Flynn. “PI is also known for its highly sought-after research training programs, such as the Perimeter Scholars International graduate program, and our award-winning outreach program, which includes monthly public lectures that always sell out and physics-themed events that attract crowds in the tens of thousands.” For Parent, it was an opportunity to see whether the field is an area she would like to study throughout university. She’s not sure that theoretical physics would be a gratifying career for her. “You could spend your whole life working on a theory, only to see it refuted.” Parent said she plans to study physics for her undergraduate degree, then attend medical school with the goal of becoming a pediatrician.

Museum anniversary celebrated with new book Column has appeared in The News for 27 years By Nei l Corbe tt ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

Sunday will bring a celebration of Maple Ridge’s rich history, and of the group that has chronicled it for decades. The Maple Ridge Museum celebrates its 40th anniversary this Sunday, at the grounds of the Maple Ridge Museum. The Maple Ridge Historical Society was formed in 1957, and by 1974 it had collected enough artifacts to open a display at the library. Ten years later, the museum established its own permanent facility

in its present location – the former brickyard manager’s house from the Haney Brick and Tile Company (22520 – 116th Ave.) The celebration will include the launch of the new historical book, Looking Back. The publication is a series of historical columns written by one-time volunteer museum curator Sheila Nickols and published exclusively in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows News since 1987. The book is a series of stories, like how Richard Reddecliff bought 160 acres of land in Maple Ridge for $2 per acre in 1886 – choosing it over land in the new city of Vancouver, at the corner of Granville and Hastings, because the valley land was better for farming. There’s the story of the once bit-

ter rivalry between Hammond and Haney – the principal of Maple Ridge School in 1882 had to draw a chalk line down the middle of the playground, to try and keep boys from Haney separate from the boys of Hammond, and avoid the daily recess fist fights. “There’s phenomenal history in this community, but not a lot of people know a lot about it,” said Erica Williams, historical society president. She hopes the book will make money for the society, and give the group more exposure. “The book is mostly to do with people. Readers will come away from it with some new connections. I’m really quite pleased with it.” See Museum, 4

Family of the 44-year-old man who drowned in the Alouette River on Monday hung flowers off Silver Bridge on Harris Road in Pitt Meadows in his memory.

‘You left us too soon, dad’ By M o ni s ha M ar tin s mmartins@mapleridgenews.com

A plush penguin, bouquets of flowers and heart-breaking messages adorn the railing of a bridge across the Alouette River, not far from where a father drowned Monday in Pitt Meadows. B.C. Coroner’s Service identified the 44-year-old man as Jagit Khangura of Port Coquitlam. Khangura was swimming with his family near Silver Bridge on Harris Road Aug. 4 when he suddenly disappeared under water around 5:50 p.m. Taped to the bridge

Search resumes Volunteers will resume a search for the body of a woman who drowned in Golden Ears Provincial Park at the end of June. The 23-year-old Surrey resident was on a day trip with visiting family when she slipped off rocks near the Upper Burke Falls on June 25 and plunged several metres into the rushing water below. Search and rescue teams and RCMP spent three days looking for the her, but were unable to recover her body as their search was hampered by strong currents and high water. Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue manager Rick Laing said water levels have dropped and crews want to get into the creek before the weather turns.

are messages from his daughters, son and nephew, penned in pink ink. “Why did you have to go. I saw you go right in front of my eyes,” wrote Harpreet. “We have to be strong for mom.” Jyothi’s message to her dad read: “We will make you proud and take care of mom. You left us too soon, dad, your little girl still needs you.” His son Kevinjit hoped his dad “finds his way to

God.” His nephew Gagan called him “Cha Cha,” which means uncle in Punjabi. “I will miss you so much,” he wrote. “All I can remember is all the good times we had together.” The B.C. Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate Khangura’s death and have yet to determine why he drowned while trying to swim across the calm river.

Although emergency personnel from the fire department, police and Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue arrived on scene shortly after Khangura’s family called 911, he could not be saved. Barb McLintock with the coroners service said Khangura was located on the river bottom around 8:30 p.m. His body was brought to the surface by a diver from the Canadian Coast Guard.

Question of time The provincial government is catching flak from the B.C. Teachers Federation and the NDP over a plan to pay parents of children (up to 12 years old ) $40 per day for each school day missed in September – if the BCTF strike is not settled by then. While the move is political, it does recognize the fact that parents are hit hard by the teachers’ strike, through extra daycare and other costs. The government saves a boatload of money – $12 million a day – as a result of the strike. It is not unreasonable to share some of those savings with those who are paying extra money in day-to-day expenses, as a result of this strike. It also should serve as a reminder to BCTF members that there will be no pay cheques in September if the strike isn’t settled by then. Finance Minister Mike de Jong is right that it would do little good to legislate teachers back to work. There needs to be an actual agreement between the two sides, for their own good and for the good of students and parents. The bargaining system involving the two is in terrible shape, but hard negotiations could result in an agreement – if there is some genuine willingness on the part of both sides to do so. Teachers who are caught up in this dispute will have to carefully consider their actions over the next month or so. Many are already feeling the financial squeeze. Several weeks out of work in September will really hurt, particularly as they are not getting strike pay. Will they put pressure on the union to try and settle? The government holds almost all the cards. It will face no political pressure of any consequence, with an election three years away. Settlements with other unions will eventually force the BCTF to toe the line. The question is, how long will it take? And will kids pay the price again by losing instruction time this fall? – Black Press

Where train comes off the track R ecent operational breakdowns have made TransLink an easy target for its critics. These system-wide failures continue to point out the dysfunctional aspects of the transit operating, management and fund- Sidewinder Sandy Macdougall ing systems. But there are also some positive elements that should be acknowledged. The passenger-carrying capacity of SkyTrain, the Millennium line and the Canada line seem costly, but not so much when you consider how much it would cost to construct and maintain the equivalent capacity with highways and city streets. The cost per passenger mile is cheaper than you might think when the reduced traveling time for users and lower accident rates and other cost factors are included in the bottom line calculations. No pun intended, but the TransLink train comes off the track with its multi-layered management system, which includes, among other things, a provincially appointed board of directors and a largely useless mayors’ committee on regional transportation for the Metro Vancouver region. The lion’s share of transit funding is spent on servicing the larger population areas within the region, such as Surrey, Vancouver,

uestion of the week:

Burnaby, Delta and Richmond. And that sounds reasonable, except we all pay the same gas pump levies and other taxes, but outlying smaller municipalities get much lower standards of service. In other words, if you live in one of the outlying and smaller populated municipalities and must rely on your personal vehicle to commute, you are going to be paying far more than you should based on the availability and level of transit services in your area. To make matters worse for areas currently poorly serviced, this disproportionate allocation of transit services is not going to improve anytime soon. The various appointed boards and an estimated 6,000 employees charged with the management and operation of TransLink and its many functions, such as all major roads, bridges and transit, continue to draw wages and indemnities, but nobody seems to be responsible for the sorry state of affairs. A great example of transit dysfunction is the Compass Fare Card fiasco, which is now well beyond its original budget of $200 million, and there is still no definite date in sight for its implementation. At our local level, we are represented on the TransLink mayors’ committee by Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin, who continues to collect an indemnity for attending the meetings of the mayors’ committee, but has yet to produce much in the way of tangible results or improvements in local transit or major roads. It’s been all promises. On his own behalf, Mayor Daykin will

Do you support fines for owners who let dogs off-leash in non-sanctioned areas? Yes: 76% – No: 24%

point out how challenging and almost impossible it is to get the mayors’ committee to support our local needs. If that is a worthy defense, why bother attending the mayors’ committee meetings and continuing to collect the indemnity? Maple Ridge is nearing a crisis in transportation and transit issues, and if he continues in his role as our representative on the mayors’ committee, Mayor Daykin has to speak with a louder and more effective voice. Municipal council members and municipal bureaucrats must also begin to develop realistic plans and strategies to cope with the growing needs of Maple Ridge as urban sprawl unrelentingly advances throughout the countryside. The coming years and the actions of municipal bureaucrats and politicians will dictate whether we continue to live in a pleasantly livable community or just another example of urban sprawl at its worst. Now, more than ever, we need strong, determined leadership at the municipal level, something we do not currently enjoy. It appears that, following the coming civic elections, Maple Ridge council will have at least three new members, maybe more, and possibly a new mayor. Those elected will serve four-year terms, up from the current three-years. It is something voters should consider as we draw closer to those Novembers’ civic elections. Sandy Macdougall is a retired journalist and former district councillor.

THE NEWS/letters Let’s not compare teachers, daycare Editor, The News: Re: Teachers less than daycare (Letters, Aug. 3). It seems like there is a lot of misconceptions about daycare providers. Daycare salaries are, on average, $14 an hour. Daycares are open 12 hours a day. Teachers actually only have the children five hours a day. Daycare instructors are qualified, and are not warehousing kids for maximum profitability. You can always go with unlicensed, unregulated daycare. But one would hope you are looking for high quality care for your children. Daycare staff provide art, music, drama, math, and reading. We aim to enhance the well being and development of children in all aspects – socially, emotionally, physically, intellectually and creatively. Daycare staff are the child’s nurse, referee, tutor and janitor. An average daycare staff salary is $14 an hour. A teacher starts at about $25 an hour. Let’s look at the math. Let’s not compare teachers to daycare workers. Mary Stanwood Maple Ridge

‘I used to have compassion’ Editor, The News: Re: A problem since the start (The News, Aug. 1). I have lived in Maple Ridge since 1974. I was 14 years old then and moving to “Haney” was horrifying to a person my age. I was coming to a rural area I had never heard of, from Coquitlam. Life was good, but rural. I left and eventually came back to Maple Ridge to raise my son in 1993. I have tried to have compassion for the homeless of our community. In 2003 I, on my own, wrestled my son’s stolen bike back from a homeless person as he was pulling it down the road. He attempted to argue with me that it may not be my boy’s bike. I ultimately had to threaten him. I had to get physical. He backed down But, he was homeless, possibly

drug addicted, and desperate. I had compassion. In 2009, I had an altercation with a homeless person who threatened me with bodily harm because I was walking on the sidewalk with my earphones in and he could not get his bike past me. He blocked my path, threatened my life. I had to call the RCMP. But, he was homeless, possible drug addicted and desperate. I had compassion. In 2014, my mentally handicapped neighbour – who works a part-time job and looks after her dog diligently, pays taxes, is a contributor to society – was waiting at the bus stop to go to work. She had her back pack ripped off her shoulder by a homeless person on a bike. Possibly drug addicted and desperate. I now have no compassion. The aftermath of what this

‘You’re giving pit bulls bad name’ Editor, The News: Re: Dog killed in Pitt Meadows attack (The News, Aug. 1). In the article written by Neil Corbett, he kept referring to the dog that attacked the Yorkshire terrier as a “pit bull.” Yet even the owner of the dog stated the dog was not a pit bull, but a mixed breed. Still, the dog kept being referred to mistakenly as a pit bull. Any time there is a dog attack, newspapers, reporters, the media,

like to use the term pit bull, when in many cases that is not true or a skew on the facts. But let’s face it, it sells the news better and puts a little more fear in people and a dislike for the breed, which is a mistake. A veterinarian who told me that there are more cases of Labrador retrievers biting their owners than pit bulls, yet a Lab retriever attack isn’t going to make the news, nor is a poodle attack, nor is a mixed breed dog. Let’s just label it a “pit bull” for news

sake. Even in this case, when the owner clearly stated the dog is not quite a pit bull, that is what it is labelled, because even if it had one per cent in the mix, that is what it is. I owned a mixed breed pit bull/Labrador retriever rescue, a Staffordshire terrier and a Rhodesian ridgeback mix (rescue). One of my previous neighbours called the police when I moved in next door, because I must be a drug dealer since I own ‘pit bulls.’ I’m a law abiding citizen who works

It’s misquoted and stories like these in the recent paper that gives this dog breed a bad name and instills unnecessary and unwarranted fear in the public. Your paper didn’t even post a picture of the offending dog for people to see it, and come to their own conclusions, although some would still call the dog a pit bull even if it isn’t.

do give credit to the Slaters, who took in an abused rescue dog in an attempt to give him a good, safe home. At least they tried, and gave it a chance. William Patrick Pitt Meadows Editor’s note: The story refers to the dog in first reference as a “pit bull cross,” and in two subsequent references this was shortened to “pit bull.” The story included a paragraph about the dog’s breed, in which the owner described it as “not quite a pit bull,” a mix of breeds, which he believed may have included Rhodesian ridgeback.

The community is suffering. S. McCartney Maple Ridge

Townhouses six blocks away and residents in-between have constantly dealt with the theft from these individuals. They steal whatever they can use or sell, anything that is not nailed down. Locks have been cut and they come through the complexes checking to see who might have forgot to lock their vehicle. Why should we have to live like this to be good citizens to the homeless? They clearly don’t respect Maple Ridge. Why was the Caring Place located right in the middle of town? You beautify downtown Maple Ridge, then taint it with druggedup thieves. I’m all for helping the less fortunate, but they really don’t seem to appreciate or respect this helping hand. Why should we have to consider moving farther away or out of Maple Ridge because of this nuisance? D. Foster Maple Ridge

ARMS starts petition for fish ladder Drumming up support for cause célèbre By Phil M elnyc h u k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

The group that’s trying to heal one of nature’s long-festering wounds is hoping the power of the people can build support to restore the legendary sockeye to full health in Alouette Lake. The Alouette River Management Society has started a petition at change.org and is seeking 10,000 names. It will then present that to B.C. Hydro and the environment minister to build its case for a $3-million fish ladder that will connect the South Alouette River to Alouette Lake. Access to the lake was blocked in 1925 when B.C. Hydro built the dam, as part of the Stave Falls Dam and Powerhouse system. “All seven species of salmon (coho, chum, chinook, pink, sockeye, and steelhead) and cuthroat trout were in abundance before the dam was built, but became either detrimentally affected or extirpated due to low river flows coupled with the reservoir obstruction by the dam,” the society on the change.org website. Since then, sockeye were blocked from migrating to the Pacific Ocean and became land-

locked kokanee in the Alouette Lake reservoir. Efforts in the last decade have been made to rebuild the run by letting kokanee over the dam in the spring so they can be complete their life cycle in the Pacific Ocean and become sockeye. But access to the lake to complete their life cycle where they can spawn has been blocked for almost 90 years. “We’re primarily just looking to raise awareness in the community,” said Greta Borick-Cunningham with the Alouette river society. If a fish ladder or fishway is built, the society says not only will sockeye be able to reach the lake and be able to spawn, possibly growing the size of the run, other fish such as trout, chinook and coho also will benefit by re-establishing a connection of the river to the lake. The society has been pushing for

a fishway for several years. A feasibility report confirming the viability of the project was submitted to B.C. Hydro in April. Without a fishway, ARMS and B.C. Correction inmate crews have to trap the returning sockeye at the hatchery or at the base of the dam and put them in a tank, and drive them to the lake for release. Since the sockeye release program began in 2005, some years up 150 sockeye have returned to the South Alouette to spawn. So far this year though, the Alouette River sockeye haven’t shown up. None. “Basically, at this point, they’re a month late.” Borick Cunningham says that could be for a few reasons. It could because given the hot dry summer, there isn’t enough water to make easy swimming for the sockeye upstream. Or, it could be they’ve been caught, given the high interest in the Fraser River sockeye fishery this year. Last year, only 10 sockeye showed up. The society first proposed the fishway in 2010 after a study by Peter Ward and Associates estimated it would cost $2.8 million to build a fishway beside the spillway and get to the top of the 16-metre dam. • Sign the petition at tinyurl. com/ARMSladder.

‘We’re trying to connect the water feature dots’ Park from front

She said many of the residents are concerned. She’s called the District of Maple Ridge, but heard no response. The work is part of the construction of the Chances Maple Ridge gaming centre, which opened last fall. In return for developing the property at 227th St. and Lougheed Highway, Great Canadian Gaming Corp., which owns Chances, agreed to environmentally enhance the area. Storm runoff from Chances’ two parking lots will flow into channels on either side of 277th St., then combine to supply a new wetlands and pond area just down the hill from the gaming centre on the west side. The combined water flows will be directed into new wetland areas and ponds near the apartment complex. Those areas are currently under construction. It will be a series of stepped wetlands and ponds, said District of Maple Ridge environmental planner Rod Stott. “What we’re trying to do is connect the water feature on the east side 227th St., which has a healthy amphibian population over there.” By connecting the water sources on the both sides of the street, a better system will result farther downstream from the wetlands and ponds, as the creek wends its way through the suburbs to the Fraser River. “We’re trying to connect the dots over the existing features that were there,” Stott added. The goal is to create better habitat for salamanders that are in the area and possibly introduce Pacific water shrew and red-legged frogs, maybe even trout. Currently, the streams aren’t fish bearing. The project involves creating a short trail, which will give people access to the ravine, creating a new park in the middle of downtown Maple Ridge.

“It’s going to be good, in my opinion. There’s a lot of benefits coming out of this.” Rod Stott, environmental planner

“It’s going to be good, in my opinion,” Stott said. “There’s a lot of benefits coming out of this.” He pointed out the existing stream that runs by the apartment won’t disappear, but will be diverted to the wetlands and ponds that are under construction. A 20-metre buffer area of trees will separate the apartments from the ponds. The green belt area is part of the downtown plan. Pond construction takes place in September, with the goal of completing the project by fall. Construction of the gaming centre and parking lot required removal of about 20,000 cubic metres of contaminated soil, which was replaced by another 100,000 cubic metres brought on to the site. Maple Ridge also required the extension of the 227th St. north so it connects with Lougheed Hwy. Stott said so far there’s no name for the stream or the park that’s being created. “We’re going to leave that up to council.”

‘Goal is to reduce conflicts’ Bear from front

“Me and my wife always had this joke about what I would do if I saw a bear here,” said Stevens. His wife joked, “What’s the bear going to do? Walk down Harris Road, go to the 7-Eleven, get a Slurpee and come here. “He didn’t have a Slurpee but he did come here,” Stevens added, with a laugh. “I’ve been living here for 12 years and I’ve never, ever seen anything like it. I would have bumped right into it.” Ridge Meadows RCMP and conservation officers tracked the bear to Hoffman Park, where it was cornered and tranquilized. Sgt. Todd Hunter with the Conservation Officers Service said the bear was removed from the area and put down because he had become habituated to garbage. “It was popping up all day long and causing a concern,” Hunter added. “The issues started getting progressively worse.” Hunter believes the bear made it’s way to Pitt Meadows from Maple Ridge, most likely along the railway tracks. But seeing a bear in Pitt Meadows’ dense urban core is rare. “There’s not a lot of green space for them to hide, so when they do get caught up in there, it becomes quite a safety risk,” said Hunter.

Most sightings and conflicts take place on the fringes of Pitt Meadows, near berry fields. The conservation service reports there have been 43 calls for human-bear conflict in Pitt Meadows since April. Most of the calls come from Maple Ridge, which logged 437 calls in the same period. The calls are lower than Coquitlam, which saw 1,000 calls since April, but on par with Port Coquitlam (481) and Port Moody (420). In Maple Ridge, garbage continues to be the main cause of conflict. No coordinated municipal pickup makes the issue worse in Maple Ridge, said Hunter. “We have garbage out there almost 24 hours a day with all these random pickup schedules,” he added. “We don’t mind saying it. It’s very difficult for us as a Conservation Officer Service to either enforce or provide educational activities.” So far this year, three bears in Maple Ridge have been put down by conservation officers. The neighbourhoods logging the most calls are Gilbert Drive in Silver Valley, as well as Albion. Bears are currently fatting up for winter hibernation, so Hunter expects calls to increase. “The calls are going to go through the roof in the next little while. So

the biggest thing is making sure you don’t have any attractants,” he added. That means everything from cleaning dirty barbecues, picking fruit trees and removing bird feeders.

Sgt. Todd Hunter, Conservation Officers Service Dan Mikolay, Wild Safe B.C.’s coordinator in Maple Ridge, believes residents are slowly heeding the district’s calls to be more careful about when they put garbage outside. For the past three years, the district has run a Bear Aware program and has a bylaw that prohibits residents from putting garbage out before the morning of pickup. It’s all about education, said Mikolay. “Our goal is to reduce the amounts of conflicts with bears.” • For tips on how to live in harmony with bears, visit bearaware.bc.ca.

Visit the 2015 Escalade gallery at DrivewayBC.ca

An Escalade worth the wait Cadillac recently held the introduction of its all-new Escalade in the heart of Toronto, specifically the heart of Yorkville. This upscale slice of Toronto real estate is home to spendy shops, exclusive restaurants and luxurious hotels. This is a place to be seen or be seen in a vehicle that projects the image one wants to portray. Media guests for the Escalade launch stayed at Toronto’s very first boutique hotel, The Hazelton. As one Torontonian put it, “that’s about the fanciest place in town.” It certainly draws an upscale crowd of rich people, or posers, looking the part. With a steady lineup of Ferrari, McLaren and other exotics parked outside, Cadillac was front and centre showing off its new full-size luxury SUV to a young, well-healed crowd of Toronto socialites and business people.

A firefighter’s choice truck By Ian Harwood

orest fire conditions in this province are at an all-time high and the wood is very dry. The men and women who fight these fires every year rely on their vehicles to take them to the battlefield. Remote back roads and sometimes the forest floor are on which they must travel. There is a variety of vehicles in the firefighter fleet, but lately they have been using the Ford Super-Duty as the prime support vehicle. The

ments beneath the first and second row seats provide space for laptops and other important things. I really liked the layout of the gauges and controls in this vehicle; all are easily read and accessible. There are 12volt outlets everywhere, two in the dash, one in the centre console, one in the back of that console, right beside the newly added 110V/150W power inverter, and there’s a supply located in the rear under seat storage bin on the driver’s side. The front seats I found very comfortable and perfect for a long day at work. The rear seating positions are also very comfortable with lots of leg room. Noise levels in the cab, or lack thereof, was amazing. It runs as quietly as a gasoline vehicle. You can easily hold conversations in the cab at any speed with no interference from outside sources. It was also a treat to be able to order from a drive through window without having to shut the truck off. Remember, when traveling the back-roads this summer, pay attention to the fire danger rating, follow any camp fire bans, and report any fires you see too 1-800-663-5555 or *5555. Help the firefighters keep their trucks clean and shiny for longer.

Five classic Mustangs By Rob Sass

n the run up to the big 50th anniversary of the Mustang, prices of the classic first version of the Mustang, the 1964½ (technically a 1965 model) through 1966, have been moving up. The best convertibles and fastbacks with the highest horsepower engines can bring well over $65,000, and there has been renewed interest in vintage Mustangs of all years. But all isn’t lost for the Mustang collector on a budget. Here are five of our favorites that you can still afford. • 1964½-66 Convertible (six cylinder): If you simply must have the first version of the Mustang in a convertible and have $25,000 or less to spend on a nice one, well then you’re likely to have to settle for the six-cylinder model instead of the 260 or 289 V-8. And the six of the ’60s was nothing like today’s 300-plus hp base V-6. Nope, the 200-cubic-inch straight-six was good for just 120 hp, so performance was leisurely at best. No matter, the six still looked great. • 1964½-66 V-8 Coupe: If you’d really rather have a V-8, there’s still time to find one for less than $25,000. Granted, it won’t be a swoopy fastback or a drop-top, but the basic hardtop is still a pretty car.

Don’t expect the highest horsepower versions of the Mustang 289-cubic-inch V-8 at this price point, but nice cars are still out there. For now anyway. • 1971-1973 Mach I 302 Coupe: “Mach I” was one of the more audacious names of the Pony Car era. However, its top speed was a bit shy of the speed of sound. But it had pumped up good looks and none other than Sean Connery as James Bond drove a ’71 Mach 1 in the movie “Diamonds are Forever.” As usual, the biggest engine version has sailed past affordability, but the 302 V-8 Mach I can still be had for around $25,000 if you look hard enough. • 1984-86 SVO: This selection will likely get the trolls’ attention: a four-cylinder Mustang on a list of collectible Mustangs. But the SVO wasn’t a Pinto-based Mustang II or your dental hygienist’s 88 hp four-banger Fox Body Mustang; the SVO sported a turbo 2.3-litre four that made as much horsepower as the 5.0-litre V-8 of the day, a biplane rear spoiler, unique front fascia, and hood complete with a totally cool NACA duct-style air scoop. It was faster and more expensive than the V-8. Fuel prices never climbed the way that the industry expected, and the 5.0-litre V-8 was further developed with new, more-efficient cylinder

heads, and eventually fuel injection, giving it better gas mileage and much more horsepower with less complication and expense, so the sophisticated SVO disappeared after 1986.

‘

The best convertibles and fastbacks with the highest horsepower engines can bring well over $65,000 ... But all isn’t lost for the Mustang collector on a budget.

’

• 1987-93 GT 5.0 Convertible: We like the 1989 model because it was the 25th anniversary year of the Mustang (which Ford barely noticed). The Fox Body Mustang might not have been the most glamorous body style ever, but it was one of the cars responsible for ending the “Malaise Era” of sluggish and dull American cars. With the 5.0-litre V-8 boosted to 225 hp, in 1987, the Mustang brought cheap V-8 performance back to the masses. • Care for something a bit newer? – Love the 2008-09 Bullitt Edition Mustang and think it’s a future collectible.

Wildwood Lakefront Cottages are located on Washington’s Lake Whatcom, just 55 kilometres from the Blaine border. Right on the pristine shores of the lake, families will find plenty of activities, or just the perfect place to relax and enjoy spending time together.

Canadians are discovering Wildwood Lakefront Cottages By Kerry Vital

Washington’s Lake Whatcom is a largely undiscovered gem for Canadians, yet it is only 55 kilometres south of the Blaine border! Lake Whatcom is over 16 kilometres long and a pristine watershed. It serves as the drinking water for nearby Bellingham so it has stringent rules in place to protect it, and that makes swimming and all lake recreation even better. At the south end of the lake on a quiet cove, a family campground called Wildwood has been a popular designation for Canadians since the 1950s. It has recently been redeveloped into a private cottage community and now you can purchase your own family getaway at Wildwood Lakefront Cottages, right on the picturesque shores at South Bay. The natural setting is one of the highlights of Wildwood, with its two streams, huge cedar trees and pristine lake and shoreline. The Canadian developers have added in a tennis/ball hockey court, a swimming pool and hot tub, playground, walking trails, clubhouse, marina, and covered picnic pavilion to complement the lake activities.

“It’s a real family experience,” says Wayne Lyle, the developer’s Canadian spokesperson. “Canadians are buying here for the legacy, for the memories.” One of the big draws for Canadians is that the property is gated and private, has a resident on-site manager, and your landscaping is all looked after. Whether you want to go fishing, take out the canoe or go for an evening swim, you’ll find a ton of outdoor activities available onsite. The private marina has 34 private boat slips and 15 mooring buoys, and a number of guest slips. The cottages themselves are made for cozy family times, with five different floor plans to choose from and three natural colour schemes. The main floor features the living areas, sunny window seats, decked-out kitchens and one bedroom or one-bedroom plus den configurations with sleeping lofts above. “Kids love the sleeping lofts; the ceilings are five feet in height,” Lyle says. “They think it’s built just for them!” While not large in size, these are upscale cottages with hardwood flooring, quartz

countertops, stainless-steel appliances and stone fireplaces. Some of the cottages have rooftop decks that are perfect for star-gazing. Each cottage includes a covered outdoor deck to give you that indoor-outdoor life that everyone loves in the summer, some with an outdoor fireplace. You’ll also find an outdoor wood burning fire pit with every cottage, perfect for lazy fall nights full of stories and s’mores. Wildwood is also fortunate in that it has over 1,700 feet of waterfront; that means the furthest you can get from the lakefront from any cottage is

only 150 yards! “This a great base camp for families,” Lyle says. “With many other Pacific Northwest attractions nearby and with the price of real estate in B.C., this lakefront property is certainly a very attractive alternative!” Lots at Wildwood start at $160,000, and fully finished cottages including lots start at $330,000. For more information, visit www.wildwoodlakefrontcottages.com or call the Canadian office contact number at 1-855-588-7788. The site is open for tours on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., or any time by appointment except Sundays. Call today for an appointment!

Perennials replace fading annuals

By Brian Minter

he rather late, wet start to spring this year and the long hot, dry spell has taken its toll on many of our annuals.

Some varieties are starting to look somewhat hard and burnt, instead of being soft and vegetative, and many annuals have stopped growing. Heat and water stress are the major causes of this hardness. Unfortunately, these stressed-out annuals can leave your garden looking a little blah this time of year, which may be awkward with many friends and relatives visiting. Late flowering summer annuals and perennials, however, can give your garden some needed fresh colour and a few very special plants do more than their share to keep the colour going. Yellow is always an important colour to give a lift to late summer gardens, and two excellent perennials immediately come to mind. The longest and strongest flowering variety has got to be the lacy leafed Coreopsis verticulata ‘Zagreb’. It just never quits. Its cousin, the softer yellow C. ‘Moonbeam’, is also a non-stop flowering, more spreading variety. Both always look good without any care or attention and defy the concept of perennials needing a lot of work. My other favourite yellow perennial is a rudbeckia called ‘Goldsturm’. This European introduction is just out of this world. It’s hardy, relatively short (about 30 centimetres), and its large, single, yellow daisy-like flowers just keep on blooming right up until October. ‘Goldsturm’ is such an improvement over the other varieties – they’re not even in the same league.

A new shorter variety called ‘Little Gold Star’ is also stealing the show. It grows only 15 cm tall and produces an abundance of colour. It’s a ‘hottie’. Not to be outdone, annual rudbeckias really steal the show at this time of year. The low, larger flowered ‘Becky’ and smaller flowered ‘Toto’ series perform magnificently in our hot weather. For taller, more background plants, the ‘Hirta’ series, like the award winning ‘Prairie Sun’ and ‘Denver Daisy’, does the job nicely. Helleniums truly provide some of the richest summer colours from bronze to burgundy, as well as terrific bicolours. There are many varieties, but H. ‘Sahin’ is a gold bronze bicolour that just never quits. Echinaceas are also now in full bloom, and all the new colours from vibrant orange and golden yellow to white and hot pink provide a lasting perennial display. They also attract butterflies and honeybees. The new ‘Pow Wow’ series is truly the most prolific. Some other excellent late summer blooming perennials not to be forgotten are the pink-lavender blooms of Joe-pye Weed (Eupatorium ‘Atropurpureum); the white, fragrant flowers of all the cimicifuga; and some of the new heliopsis varieties that make wonderful backdrops for perennial borders. Japanese anemones, too, are one of the amazing long flowering fall perennials, as are the beautiful new basil-branching achilleas, especially the ‘Seduction’ series. Although in our region, they can vary in hardiness as perennials, chrysanthemums are just now arriving in garden stores. They tolerate both the hot sun and rain and add a fresh new look to August and September gardens. Despite of the weather we may experience from year to year and how it impacts on our annuals, these perennials, and many more like them, are the workhorses of any garden and will add wonderful colour to a late summer garden, carrying it into fall.

The first family of Canadian water polo By Nei l Corbe tt ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

he hockey world has its famous Sutter brothers, and Canadian water polo has the Eggen women. Carmen and Monika are sisters on the national team, living in Montreal and training 30-plus hours per week to win gold for Canada at the Rio Olympics in 2016. Their mother Cathy Eggens and aunt Gerri Willms are also still swimming internationally. All four women grew up in Pitt Meadows, as one of the founding families of the Haney Neptunes Aquatic Club – Carmen says her grandparents actually named the club after the Roman god of the sea. The younger Eggens were competitive swimmers, then switched to water polo at about age six and seven. “We loved it immediately,” said Carmen. They became dominant players with the Pacific Storm, and Carmen was the MVP at the U-16 and U-18 nationals in 2005 and 2006. Her little sister followed in her wake, and Monika was MVP of the Canadian U-18 nationals in 2007. “A big highlight for the both of us in our youth was playing water polo for Pacific Storm, and going to the nationals every year,” said Carmen. Their time competing at the highest levels of the sport with the Storm would serve them well. Carmen graduated from Pitt

run to the Olympics. “Not qualifying, and having that feeling at that tournament, is one of my biggest motivators. I never want to feel that way again in my water polo career.” For Monika, the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico was one of the biggest highlights. It was also an Olympic qualifier. They lost their final game to the U.S., in one of the longest games in history. “Playing in such a high pressure tournament was so incredible, the excitement leading up to the game and during is something that I will never forget,” said Monika. “Also the atmosphere of participating in such a huge athletic event and representing our country on the world stage, just being in the village and around so many high caliber athletes was just inspiring and I hope to have the opportunity to experience it again soon.” There’s lots on the horizon for the girls. The next big international event will be the Canada Cup in December, and next summer they will have the Toronto Pan American Games, and then World Aquatic Championships in Kazan, Russia. Their mom and aunt competed at the World Masters Tournament in Montreal, and took silver medals with the Calgary Splash 50-and-over team. They train throughout the year with the Pacific Storm and Hyack Master s swimming. So it’s possible the Eggen sisters have a lifetime of water polo ahead of them.

Running versus walking Burrards lose opener S

ome people claim you can’t really get fit or lose weight from walking and you need to run. Many people think that walking one kilometer and running one kilometer burns the same number of calories. After all you are moving the same distance so you should burn the same number of Kinected calories. Kerry Senchyna What is the difference between the two: which burns more calories and is the best for losing weight? Let’s tackle the calorie question first. It is not as simple as it might seem since there are a number of factors to consider. First of all, most of us assume that running is just walking sped up a bit, but essentially if you are covering the same distance you would burn the same number of calories. However, walking and running are quite different since something fundamentally changes in our biomechanics when we go from a walk to a run. It is the same difference with the change of cadence when a horse changes from a walk to a trot and from a trot to a gallop. The energy required to move from one phase to the other is substantial. When a person walks, they use their leg as a reverse pendulum and the energy cost of transport (COT) drops during the swing phase of gait. But when people change to a running gait, the energy required doesn’t drop off at any point during gait and is higher at all points of each stride when compared to walking. The runner is airborne for much of the gait, touching down briefly with foot contact. The faster the run, the more energy spent keeping the body off the ground and propelling it forward. The bones in the arch of the foot, the muscles in the legs and especially the tendons in the leg (including the Achilles tendon) do a tremendous amount of spring recoil to improve energy recovery and minimize energy loss when running. But muscular work is much higher in order to lift the body off the ground and keep it moving through space when running. As it turns out, when you measure calorie expenditure for the same weight person, running burns more than twice as many calories than walking for a given time-frame. For example, a person weighing 160 pounds will

“You need to be in a calorie deficit,

which means burning more calories than you eat.”

But if you are just starting out, try walking first. If you have been walking, try to put a minute of jogging in there occasionally. If you are combining some walking and running, then try longer running segments. And if you are running steadily, try some occasional wind-sprints. All the recent evidence shows that higher intensity exercise is better for improving cardiovascular health, burning calories, lowering cholesterol and blood pressure and reducing the effects of diabetes. Start with what you are able to do consistently, then try adding more intensity as you go. If you are unsure of your health status, see your doctor or have an evaluation by a professional. Trust and listen to your body – it will adapt and reward you. Kerry Senchyna holds a bachelor of science degree in kinesiology and is owner of West Coast Kinesiology in Maple Ridge (westcoastkinesiology.com).

The Maple Ridge Burrards dropped game one of their playoff series against the Burnaby Lakers by a score of 10-5 on Wednesday night on the road. The best-of-seven series shifts to Planet Ice tonight for game two, starting at 7:45 p.m. Ridge scoring leader Curtis Dickson is still nursing an injury, and was

not able to play on Wednesday. Jarrett Davis had two goals and an assist to lead the Burrards, and Mike Mallory, Aaron Davis and Ben McIntosh also scored. Robert Church scored four for the Lakers. In the other semi-final, the Victoria Shamrocks downed the New Westminster Salmonbellies 13-8 in their series opener.

burn about 290 calories an hour when walking at three miles per hour, whereas a person running six mph will burn about 675 calories an hour. There is also an additional calorie burning after the activity is finished, commonly known as ‘afterburn’, that is about twice the amount for running compared with walking. So running does burn quite a bit more energy than walking. Can you get fit or lose weight with walking? You can certainly lose weight by walking (many people have been successful on walking programs), but it must involve a healthy eating plan. You need to be in a calorie deficit, which means burning more calories than you eat. And you will need to walk at a brisk enough pace to raise your heart rate and do it for much longer than if you were running. Walking will be easier on your knees than running if you already have a leg injury or condition like arthritis. However, even though walking burns calories, most people don’t do it at a fast enough pace to change their cardiovascular level and improve their fitness.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

Wayne C. Severn, age 70, Maple Ridge, B.C, passed away on July 28, 2014. Wayne was born April 23, 1944 in Newfoundland moving to the Lower Mainland in 1949. Wayne graduated from the Maple Ridge Secondary and became a local Business Owner/Real Estate Appraiser. Wayne loved to spend time with his family in the Okanagan, on the golf course, and later, cruising the Gulf Islands with his children: Chet and Meagan, his then wife Amber, and his step-children: Sylvia and Heide. He is survived by his immediate family, his grandchild, Alexandra, and his brothers and sisters: Sherry, Craig, Warren and Karen. Wayne was predeceased by his parents: Cecil and Audrey Severn. A celebration of life will be held at the Maple Ridge Legion on August 31st from 1 pm till 4 pm. He will be missed by many friends and loved ones. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be given to the Legion. Chet & Meagan Severn give special thanks to Erin Joyce and Wayne’s brother Warren Severn for their unending support and commitment.

Alice was born in Taber, Alberta to Ethel and Gilbert Martin on July 12, 1929. She was born into a pioneer family, adored her parents, large extended family and especially her three brothers, Stanley, Wallace, and Terry Lee. Her childhood was happy, busy with school, relatives & prairie days. Your community. Your classifieds. One of Alice’s first jobs after working on the family farm was as a telephone operator in Calgary. Charles Clayton (Chuck) saw Alice at Currie Barracks in Calgary where he was stationed. He moved heaven and earth to find out who the enchantingly beautiful woman was; then called her. Love quickly followed and in less than a year they were married. They loved each other; they loved being in each other’s company and will now continue to do so forever. When Chuck and Alice settled with their young family in Haney in 1969, Alice dedicated herself to her new community with enthusiasm. Alice was a passionate member of the Maple Ridge Historical Society, an ardent supporter of Job’s Daughters and a much beloved Girl Guide leader. Forty years later she was still affectionately recognized as “Brown Owl” by many of her troop. Alice enjoyed being an Avon Lady and had many clients become lifelong friends. Insatiably curious – Alice read voraciously and possessed a bright intellect. In later life she was grateful for the services provided by the Fraser Valley Library Book Mobile and the Canadian Institute for the Blind who provided books on tape which allowed her to continue to expand her world. Alice was a consummate nurturer and was the heart of every family gathering. We will miss her love, wisdom and devotion as she missed her beloved husband for those many years. Everyone who met her, benefitted from her kindness, creativity and her remarkable knowledge of the practical. Alice was a gifted seamstress (her needle work was perfect), painter and gardener. Her fantastic blueberry bread recipe, jelly rolls and dill pickles were just as easily conjured from her kitchen as were the repaired blue jeans, stain removers or Halloween costumes from the sewing room. It was only very late in her life that she joyously discovered her interest and talent in painting. Her love of flowers and color was expressed every spring. Alice’s calling in life was to be a loving mother to Monica, Michael, Mark and Heidi, Maureen and Ron. She waited longer than she wanted to become a grandmother to Annika and Liam who will always be nearest to her heart. Alice loved and cared for many other children in her lifetime. Scott and Lisa, Dana, Nicki and Katie, Amanda and Sean, Daniel and Mitchell were precious to her. Reta was the dear sister she never had as well as her best friend. We are blessed to have her with us for so many terrific years, all who knew here were touched by her delightful personality, warm character and generous spirit. It was her one true mission to love her family, friends, neighbors and community. We have lost our greatest cheerleader. The family has chosen to commemorate Alice’s life on August 17, 2014 at her home in Maple Ridge between the hours of 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm. A recognition of Alice’s life will begin at 2:30 pm. In lieu of flowers please donate to the Canadian Institute for the Blind. Condolences may be sent to www.mapleridgefuneral.ca
