Camp people scared Threats have become routine at Cliff Avenue By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com
Homeless people on Cliff Avenue are fearing for their safety, after regular threats materialized into gasoline being dumped near the first tent in the long row lining the street. A man living at the camp who did not wish to be identified said the homeless people there have been warned to leave, and threatened that they will be burned out, or beaten with baseball bats. “Some people have left in fear. They can’t take it anymore,� he said. See Camp, 4

Relax downtown parking rules A plan, and more signs needed as area grows By Phil M elnyc h u k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com
Maple Ridge should tweak its parking regulations in the downtown to make it easier to shop and easier to park. Coun. Gordy Robson, who in 1991, helped form the Maple Ridge Downtown Parking Soci-
ety, says enforcement of parking rules is too strict and it’s hurting business. While regulations are needed, so too is some relaxation. Robson said that about seven years ago the parking society enforced parking limits in the downtown, a chore that was often seen as more educational than punitive, so that motorists knew the limits. But with the city’s bylaws department now in charge, too many fines are being issued. “These guys are so good you can
be there for an hour and four minutes and you get a ticket. We didn’t do that when the downtown parking [society] ran it. “They certainly aren’t helping with the way they are enforcing parking, that’s for sure,� Robson said. “I think we are over zealous. It shouldn’t be looked at as revenue, it should be looked at as an education and be part of the customer experience and service.� The downtown parking society was formed in order to pro-

vide parking lots for employees of downtown business, so they wouldn’t occupy storefront parking stalls. Today, employees who work downtown continue to park where they shouldn’t. The issue will become more topof-mind when Walmart opens in Haney Place Mall this fall, drawing in more traffic downtown, Robson said. “I think it’s going to get far worse when Walmart gets here.� See Parking, 11

Nicolas Nations working for tot Open house for extreme makeover coming Sunday By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com
newsroom@mapleridgenews.com
N
icolas Nation is all about providing the best chance at a good life for a Maple Ridge toddler fighting a life-threatening disease. The nation will rally this Sunday at the family home of Nicolas’ parents, Rolf Schwuchow and Petra Fellinger, to go over all the work that needs to be done to help Nicolas thrive. Nicolas was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy type 1. Children with this disease are typically never able to lift their heads, walk or sit unsupported. “He is completely dependent,” said his mother. “Something as simple as scratching an itchy nose, reaching for a toy well within his reach requires help from someone else.” Children with SMA Type 1 suffer from system-wide muscle wasting that can affect their ability to breath, and cause other health complications. It is the most common genetic cause of infant death, and many die before their first birthday. At the same time, each SMA patient is different, and Schwuchow and Fellinger have learned about others who grow up and attend university and get married. His parents hope that promising new treatments develop into a cure. Their son is turning three in October, and with regular water therapy, motion therapy and other treatment, he has grown into a happy toddler. He has parents who are determined to do everything they can for him. “You realize you can have an impact on this diagnosis,” said Schwuchow. “We don’t know what tomorrow holds. None of us do. All we can do is give him a quality of life.” Fellinger said her son is starting to propel himself in the water – the environment where he enjoys freedom of movement. He can give himself a snack, and he’s training to use a power chair. “He’s the happiest kid. He’s always singing,” she said. “He’s intelligent, he’s a flirt and he’s an absolute joy,” said his dad. Nicolas’ critical water therapy at a public pool brings with it germs and a risk of Nicolas contracting illness. The flu or a cold can be far more serious for him. The family

When they spoke with a builder about the renovations they could afford, and the plans ballooned. Andrea Cihelka, president of Gara Construction, is leading Nicolas Nation in the construction project, dubbed an “extreme makeover.” She is donating her time, and is encouraging other local tradespeople to do the same. Cihelka started off looking at the house for a small renovation, but once she saw Nicolas, and learned about the entire situation, she wanted to do more. “I have three sons myself. They’re all very active in sports and living quote-unquote normal lives,” she said. “I looked at little Nicolas and it kind of broke my heart. He’s a delight. He’s just the sweetest little guy.” The family needs a sit-to-stand power chair valued at $30,000, and an above-ground pool for daily water therapy. They will renovate the house with ramps, lifts, wheelchair accessible rooms and create a sanctuary where Nicolas can wheel himself around, and get the treatments he needs. “We’re planning on a lifetime
with him,” said his father. With the drawings finalized, the energy and excitement of Nicolas Nation is growing, but the group is still in need of more local businesses and skilled volunteers to make their plans a reality, said Cihelka. Assistance is needed in the areas of excavation, demolition, framing, concrete, insulation, electrical, plumbing, flooring, roofing, millwork, drywall, painting, interior and exterior finishing, gutters, sprinklers, siding and landscaping. On Sunday, they will host an open house and barbecue from 1-4 p.m., and guests can look at the drawings and determine whether they would like to be involved.
“We’ve had some amazing people come forward,” said Schwuchow. “It’s a hard thing to ask for help. But we’ve had to do whatever we can to help our boy.” So far Nicolas Nation has raised $52,000 of their goal of $300,000. “We’re overwhelmed by the generosity and the kindness of the community,” said Schwuchow. “There’s still a big thing to accomplish here.” Anyone interested in attending Sunday’s open house should e-mail Cihelka at andrea@garaconstruction.com or rolf.schwuchow@gmail. com.

Ridge Meadows RCMP made a small dint in the street drug supply after stopping a Vancouver couple on 203rd Street and Dewdney Trunk Road, Friday. Police seized what they suspect to be crack cocaine, powder cocaine, fentanyl, and heroin from a man and a woman. Charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking are being recommended against the couple from Vancouver. Police said they seized a little less than half a gram of heroin and several green pills that they suspect to be fentanyl. There were also 11 packs of cocaine, individually wrapped, working out to about three grams. “Are we talking pounds or kilograms? No we’re not, but when they’re all individually wrapped like that, this is indications of a dial-a-doper going out and making a delivery,” said RCMP civilian media spokesman Dan Herbranson. He said fentanyl that can be manufactured as a synthetic heroin, but is 100 times more powerful and dangerous. “You’re putting your life in the hands of a backyard chemist. Do they really know what they’re doing? Well that’s always up for debate at the best of times.” He added that fentanyl can be absorbed through the skin. “You don’t have to ingest it with a needle or smoking. You can just put it in your hand and it will absorb into your blood stream.” According to the coroner, from January to May in B.C. this year there have been 54 fentanyl-related deaths. In Metro Vancouver last month alone, 12 people have died.

The gas was not lit, and one of the camp residents tried to diluted it with a jug of water. Another sprayed it with a fire extinguisher, and they called 9-1-1. Dr. Liz Zubek, a family physician with a clinic right across the street from the camp, made a posting on the Maple Ridge Council Watch Facebook group that pointed the finger at residents of the street. She said there was a party at a residence, and the people there blocked the street with a truck and pylons, not allowing traffic to get through to the camp. The RCMP were called to have the barricade removed. Dan Herbranson, the civilian spokesman for the Ridge Meadows RCMP, confirmed that police attended and “certainly there was an odour of gasoline in the area.” He said police are aware of “ongoing hostility” directed at the camp residents.

Everyone was

Salvation Army Caring Place executive director Darrell Pilgrim was not aware of the gas spill, but has heard about the threats from vigilantes. “We’re certainly concerned with some of the comments we’ve heard about and read on social media,” he said. “Our desire is that everyone involved would be treated with respect.” Some negative comments have been directed at the Caring Place,

The Liberals are also expected to name a candidate soon. Murray said with the long campaign period, each candidate in the riding will be allowed to spend more than $150,000.
He says he’s more prepared than Dalton for the nomination and that if he wins, he has a lot of support in the community. He expects Conservatives to be re-elected as the government. “The message of a safer Canada and a strong economy is the message we want to put forward. He added he wants to stay on track with that message throughout the campaign. Dalton, elected as a Liberal representative for the provincial riding of Maple Ridge-Mission, is currently sitting as an independent while he pursues the nomination. If not successful, he’ll return to the provincial Liberals. Dalton ran unsuccessfully for the Conservatives in the 2006 federal election in Burnaby-New Westminster, losing to the NDP.

Voters will know by next Tuesday who will be the candidate trying to retain the Pitt MeadowsMaple Ridge seat for Stephen Harper’s Conservative party. Mike Murray, currently executive-assistant to present MP Randy Kamp, and MLA Marc Dalton, are competing for the right to run in the Oct. 19 election. The candidate will be decided during a vote at the nomination meeting, this Tuesday, Aug. 18, at Westview secondary, 20905 Wicklund Ave. The candidates will both speak starting at 5:30 p.m., followed by voting from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Murray said if he wins the nomination, he has a core group of about 15 to run the election campaign and “hundreds of people ready to volunteer.” The NDP named Bob D’Eith as its candidate for Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge last May, while last week, the Green party named Peter Tam.

On Monday, Murray said both Kamp and previous MP Grant McNally have endorsed him as the candidate. Murray also feels he has the advantage because he’s been working for Kamp, who’s retiring, for the last several years. “It’s going to be close, there’s no doubt about it,” said Murray. He said about 1,500 members are eligible to vote in the nomination. And if he wins that, Murray said he’s ready to start campaigning. “I’m ready. We’ve been waiting a long time, so we’re ready to hit the ground running.” However, Dalton says he has the lead in the numbers of members who are supporting him. “I’m feeling pretty good about it.” It’s just a matter of ensuring that supporters get to the meeting in order to cast their vote.

Ban the breed A pit bull had to be killed to free its grip on the arm of a 15-year-old newspaper carrier in Maple Ridge two weeks ago. A week later, a pit bull killed a Pomeranian in Pitt Meadows. A year prior, a different pit bull killed another small dog in Pitt Meadows. The more recent events reignited a call to ban pit bulls in B.C., as was done 10 years ago in Ontario. Since, reported pit bull bites have dropped, from 168 in the last year before the ban to 13 in 2014. The Ontario legislation forbids the breeding and importation of pit bulls and associated breeds. It requires them to be neutered, and to be leashed and muzzled in public. Any dog can bite. But not all of them need to have their throats cut just to let go. The damage pit bulls can and do inflict is far greater than that of most other breeds, and as Ontario’s stats showed, they do so more often. Before the ban in Ontario, the bite rate of pit bulls was twice as high as the second most aggressive breed – German shepherds. Even responsible owners can’t always prevent pit bulls from attacking. We don’t expect pit bull defenders to quit campaigning in support of their beloved pets. But the data on banning the breed is compelling. Dangerous dog bylaws don’t prevent attacks. And contrary to the SPCA’s view, we think it’s easier to control the breed than trying to influence pit bull owners. Anything that reduces such vicious attacks, as witnessed locally, is welcome. Safety first. – The News

Time to re-boot political system R elated to the federal election, my-as-geekyas-it-sounds book club is half way through “Enlightenment 2.0,” by University of Toronto philosophy professor Joseph Heath. The title premise is the 18th Century French Revolution, a Version 1 Open mic Mike Shields effort toward political reform – and it is currently time for another attempt to re-boot the system. Though Heath has yet to call for Madame la Guillotine’s return, he does argue that modern social and media environments prioritize “gut feel truthiness” over more mentally challenging processes of reasoning. Thus, current election campaigns are fought via appeal to voter’s hearts rather than minds. Hence, today’s political discourse is insanely partisan rather than even moderately informative. A debate took place when exactly? However, I was surprised to find myself isolated from the predominantly professorial club members upon suggesting the last 20 years in politics has been more blip than trend. Because, whether due to optimism or naivete, I want to believe humanity is progressing. And, self-indulgent though it may be, to continue writing articles and hosting
Q
uestion of the week:
public forums, I need to feel there is some point to it. Unfortunately, all of the reading group and local cognoscenti I’ve consulted, and frankly most of my career experiences, disagree. To illustrate, one of my first jobs after undergrad was as a new-car salesman. That lasted less than a month and a half because – and without disparaging that industry’s professionals – my process of providing information proved not to be what most prospective purchasers sought. Instead, and as the dealership’s older hands advised, it was far more lucrative to simply support shopper suppositions about the ‘right vehicle for them.’ Offering up new (much less differing) details only complicated customer efforts to make a decision. Or, put another way, gas mileage doesn’t matter when buying now makes you feel more attractive, more accepted and more successful today. And so it is with this election. Who cares how ridiculous it is for the Liberal Party to promise “real change” when Justin Trudeau is so photogenic? Or whether the NDP’s promises are even possible in a Trans-Pacific Partnership world when Tom Mulcair is the only “middle class” leader? Or even why a Conservative Party, uninterested in curtailing theft of tax dollars by Senators they appointed, when Stephen Harper promises to cut taxes? Not that I’m much better insofar as (pending a now overdue counter from my global

warming critics) incorporating Elizabeth May and the Green Party in the above list seems more hassle than productive. That said, though, my hostility about turning our economic and social future over to the ‘most popular senior’ does highlight a key vote motivator for myself. The plain truth is that the power brokers behind today’s parties are pretty much uninterested about our little corner of the world. Fates will have been determined long before we’ve finished voting and the eastern consensus is we Lotus-landers are too busy hiking and sailing to stay involved or mad for long. Which in turn makes the Green Party’s pledge to end “whipped votes” a clarion call above normal campaign din. I mean not even the most ardent supporters believe every campaign promise will be delivered: Mulroney promised to “end patronage”; Chretien to “eliminate the GST”; Harper to “balance the budget.” And every one of them was elected to a second term despite not even really attempting to deliver. Fine, things happen, circumstances change, new decisions are required. But this makes it all the more reason to (as I have done since running myself in 1993) cast my vote for the best local candidate, regardless of affiliation. And I’ll keep doing so until either my business provides sufficient fish to teach new tricks to already trained seals, or I come to terms with a different understanding of human nature than I choose to maintain at present.

In fact, we have many people to be thankful for. We would like to extend our gratitude, first and foremost, to all the neighbours who came running to help our daughter, Sarah Metzner, from as far as a block away. The response was awesome and it was very comforting to know that we live in a community of people willing to sacrifice their own safety for another. We would like to thank the fabulous staff at Ridge Meadows Hospital, as we received top-notch treatment in the emergency room. The pediatric staff members were so caring and kind. They made the treatments much easier to manage, with their compassion and thoughtfullness. And special thanks to our doctors, who fought to ensure our daughter was protected from any further complications. We also would like to thank the staff at

We believe their actions were directed solely for the purpose of her protection and we thank them deeply for their service, knowing what it must have cost them. As for the comments of the dog’s owner in this paper, we are deeply disappointed to read the latest article, which seems to indicate that their dog’s well-being was a priority over my daughter’s safety. Under no circumstances do these people get to abdicate their sole responsibility in this matter. It should have been to engage in proper handling techniques to counter the aggression.

Boot mayors off TLink? Some say Metro Vancouver should run transit

Regional politicians tussled last Friday over whether Metro Vancouver board directors or the mayors’ council should set transportation policy if TransLink is reformed, yet again. Some directors argued the mayors’ decisions on how to lead the plebiscite Yes campaign led to the defeat of a new sales tax to fund transit, and suggested they resign. “The mayors’ council is responsible for the No vote in a large way, and a lot of it was the robocalls and the millions of dollars spent,” Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said at the July 31 Metro board meeting. “In the public mind, the best thing they could do is resign.” The Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation was created in the province’s 2007 reor-

SPCA not investigating pit bull death By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com
The B.C. SPCA is satisfied that Ridge Meadows RCMP were justified in killing a pit bull that had its jaws locked on a paper carrier’s arm, and did so without subjecting the animal to excessive cruelty. Whether police used a knife in killing the dog, as witnesses relayed to the dog’s owner and wrote in social media accounts of the incident, remains ambiguous. RCMP Cpl. Alanna Dunlop has said no knife was used. The dog attacked 15-year-old paper carrier Sarah Metzner on
July 24, as she worked her route on 117th Avenue, near Thomas Haney Secondary. It broke through a screen door to get at her, and locked its jaws on her hand. Her injuries required surgery. Marcie Moriarty, the chief prevention and enforcement officer for the SPCA in the province, said she could not confirm whether there were knife wounds on the dog’s neck. Moriarty said the dog was buried by the owners, but its body was exhumed at the request of the victim’s parents, so they could be reassured the animal did not have rabies. Although the local branch of the SPCA
said the dog would be examined to determine cause of death, provincial spokesperson Moriarty said the cause of death is not relevant, because the police had a “lawful excuse” for their actions. The dog was attacking a person when they arrived at the scene, and police determined that they could not safely kill the dog with a firearm in the residential situation. Eyewitnesses said the police twice cut the dog, and used a makeshift muzzle to try and control it. They also had officers kneeling on it, using their body weight to pin it down. By the time the struggle was over,
say RCMP, the dog was dead. That is consistent with an eyewitness account that said the police used a length of cable that had been laying in the yard to strangle the dog. RCMP civilian spokesman Dan Herbranson said the media should ask the SPCA if it has determined the cause of death. Moriarty said only the police officers who attended the scene know how the dog died. The RCMP’s comment was they used the level of force required in the circumstances, said Moriarty, and that is accepted by the SPCA. “There is no open investigation,” she said.
Ridge man, 29, dies from drug overdose A 29-year-old man known to the RCMP died of a suspected drug overdose late last week in his Maple Ridge apartment. RCMP civilian media spokesman Dan Herbranson said police responded to a call at the Rio apartment complex, located at 120th block of 228th St. at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 6. Herbranson said drugs were believed to have played a role and foul play has been ruled out. Herbranson said they
00
are waiting for the toxicology reports before they can determine the exact cause of death. Thursday’s death was followed by a rash of fentanyl overdoes in Vancouver on Sunday. According to the Vancouver Police department, there were 16 suspected fentanyl overdoes in a 24-hour period. Erin Gibson, the regional harm reduction coordinator for Fraser Health, said they are seeing more cases of adverse reac-
tions and death across the province because of the potency of fentanyl. According to Fraser Health, fentanyl is a synthetic narcotic that is 50100 times more toxic than other opioids. It is often mixed with other drugs like heroin. “What we’re seeing is the increase in the presence of fentanyl in all sorts of substances,” she said. “So we’re promoting awareness of what an overdose looks like, how to respond, and the im-
portance of calling 911,” she said. Gibson said Fraser Health also distributes take-home naloxone kits in hopes of reducing overdoses. Signs of a fentanyl overdose include severe sleepiness, slow heartbeat, trouble breathing, slow or shallow breathing, snoring, clammy skin and trouble with walking or talking. Immediate use of an opioid antagonist, such as naxolone can reverse the effects of fentanyl.

Plenty of parking, says BIA He favours expanding the underground parking lot beneath the Leisure Centre, which currently has 500 stalls, as part of redeveloping the core area. Parking will always be an issue, said Coun. Craig Speirs. “We’ve got lots of parking.” But it’s important to ensure that there’s not too much parking because that creates too much asphalt. He suggests that a long-term goal would be to build a parkade on city land near the Haney Place Mall. However, concentrating any new stalls into one new parkade, would be too inconvenient for shoppers because it would be too far from other parts of downtown, says Bob Jones, president of the downtown parking society. Speirs would also like to see some relaxation and creativity in parking in order to make it easier to shop. “You want people to stay in the downtown for a few hours.” He’d also like to see the city to offer free parking in its parkade beneath the Leisure Centre on Saturdays. “The public relations and the goodwill and the benefit to the downtown would be im-
mense.” Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association executive-director Ineke Boekhorst said there’s enough parking in the downtown, even when Walmart opens in Haney Place Mall this fall. What has to improve is informing people where those parking stalls are in order to make it easier to stay downtown. Better signage with maps, diagrams and explanation is key.
In European cities, big signs make it clear at the entrances to downtown where people can park. “We know there are more than 6,000 spots in the downtown. “It’s just that they’re not in the right place.” Boekhorst says there are exactly 6,790 parking stalls within the BIA boundaries, including staff parking. And she notes that parking anywhere on Maple Ridge streets, except for the underground parking lot be-
low the Leisure Centre, is free. Boekhorst said onehour parking limits are needed to ensure there’s space outside restaurants or other businesses so people can move in and out. “It’s still free parking. Go downtown Vancouver, you can’t park anywhere.” The city, BIA and the parking society should cooperate, said Jones. “The thing is, a more comprehensive plan has to be done.”

REAL ESTATE IN MAPLE RIDGE & PITT MEADOWS
Drought-tolerant perennials By Mike Lascelle
A
lot of you have been converting your gardens over to low-maintenance perennials with the idea of them being at least moderately drought tolerant. The reasons vary from just being tired of constantly watering those scorched azaleas and rhododendrons to summer flower displays that don’t seem to last in the heat. Regardless of the catalyst, it is obvious that our new normal of hot, dry summers and the subsequent water restrictions are changing the way we garden. Add to this the fact that we are all busy with careers and family, and the last thing we want is to come home to a ‘crispy’ landscape. The one benefit that herbaceous perennials provide us is that even when the weather gets the best of them, most can be cut back and will happily regrow fresh foliage. The same can’t be said for the many scorched broadleaf evergreens and hedging cedars we see haunting our neighborhoods, as this visible damage is usually apparent for years to come and doesn’t always recover. In fact, barring not watering newly planted perennials, these resilient plants should give you years, if not decades of reliable foliage and flowers if they are properly placed. The one proviso being that while our summers may be drier, the same cannot be said about fall to early spring – so you need to factor in those winter rains and drainage concerns before deciding which perennials to plant. That said, there are a handful of these which can tolerate both the temporarily waterlogged winter soils and the summer heat, and although they may not look their best in July, they will still live to see another season. Among these are Siberian iris (Iris sibirica), daylilies (Hemerocallis), our native Columbine (Aquilegia formosa) and pigsqueak (Bergenia cordifolia). The other buying trend I have noticed of late is that ornamental grasses seem to be enjoying a revival of sorts, as many of you have noticed that these have been faring quite well despite the dry weather.
Mike Lascelle photos
Sedum ‘Purple Emperor’ and Gaillardia ‘Fanfare.’
I came to the same conclusion after water restrictions prevented me from using the sprinklers and I saw how the established Japanese silver grass cultivars (Miscanthus sinensis) continued to thrive in the pond garden at work, although most have grown much shorter than in previous years. The Joe-Pye weed (Eupatorium purpureum) is also looking in prime form despite many perennials around it scorching out with the lack of irrigation. Many drought tolerant perennials have several attributes in common, including thick succulent foliage which stores moisture (sedum), deep tap root systems (butterfly weed/Asclepias tuberosa) or hairy
silver foliage (Artemisia) that helps reduce transpiration from sun exposure. A few drought tolerant ornamental grasses to consider include panicum ‘Heavy Metal’, Mexican feather grass (Stipa tenuissima), calamagrostis ‘Karl Foerster’, Pampas grass (Cortaderia), Festuca ‘Elijah Blue’, Miscanthus ‘Morning Light’ and blue oat grass (Helictotrichon). Some attractive companion perennials for these grasses that are equally drought resistant are Russian sage (Perovskia), Rudbeckia fulgida ‘Goldsturm’, Sedum ‘Purple emperor’ or ‘Autumn joy’, red Valerian (Centranthus ruber), Gaillardia (blanket flower), Echinops ritro (globe
thistle), Yarrow (Achillea) and many Euphorbias. For those of you with smaller scale needs, such as edging plants or rock garden specimens, there are also plenty of reliable choices – from the starry blooms of Hardy ice plants (Delosperma), to the bright gold needlelike foliage of sedum ‘Angelina’, the delicate pink or white flowers of creeping baby’s breath (Gypsophila repens) and the wispy silver foliage of Artemisia ‘Silver Mound’. So as you can see, drought stricken doesn’t mean that you need have a boring garden.

Reid Muller runs to a second-place finish in the 800m race at the Western Canada Summer Games under way in Alberta.
Team BC is the team to beat at the 2015 Western Canada Summer Games under way in Fort McMurray, Alberta, and athletes from Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows are helping to up the medal count. B.C. enjoyed a podium sweep of the women’s hammer throw with Natasha Akbarizadeh (Maple Ridge), Camryn Rogers (Richmond), Chanell Botsis (Coquitlam) taking the gold, silver and bronze respectively. Akbarizadeh was a heavy favourite, having won two straight national junior championships in the event. “I was feeling really confident in the circle,” said Azkbarizadeh. “Right before my last throw Camryn had her last throw and she threw a 54.14, so I knew I had to step up my game! I was able to throw one just past her. It was
nerve racking but I’m glad she was there to help push me.” Still on the track, Pitt Meadows high school track star Reid Muller won the silver medal in the 800m race in a time of 1:52.45. Team BC women’s cyclists swept the podium Monday for the fourth-consecutive day. Emily Handford (West Vancouver), Kelsey MacDonald (Pitt Meadows) and Stephanie Denroche (Whistler) finished one, two, and three respectively in general classification. In the canoe and kayak events on Monday, the B.C. men swept the podium for the second day in K-1 5000m with Team B.C. flag bearer Alex Brent of Dewdney, a member of the Maple Ridge Canoe and Kayak Club finishing first, and teammates Matthew Kholer and Seb Sorescu, both of Maple Ridge finishing second and third respectively. So far Team BC has brought home 169 medals – 77 ggold, 51 silver and 41 bronze. There are 10 days of competition in 19 sports.

Stein wins two medals at Parapan Am Games Has enjoyed a successful 2015 sports@mapleridgenews.com
Swimmer Nathan Stein of Maple Ridge has won two medals at the 2015 Toronto Parapan American Games. He took silver in the 100m butterfly and bronze in the 50m freestyle in the games, which run Aug. 7-15. Brazil’s Andre Brasil, the world record holder in the 100m fly event, won the race in a Parapan Am record
time of 56.72. “I was really trying to reel him in at the 75-metre mark,” said Stein, who has a condition called osteochodritis discans which has resulted in him having 11 surgeries on his leg. “I started to seize up. “The silver is always good, especially on home soil. It was not quite the time I wanted but it was still a good race,” he said. After being injured in 2013, the 23-year-old has continued on the recovery trail in 2015 when he qualified for
