Parents build so kids can play Golden Ears school’s new playground took four years of fundraising, and one day to build. by Christopher Sun csun@mrtimes.com

Rick Moyer/TIMES

Volunteers Chuck Bartlet and Dave Loid worked together to install one of the elements of a children’s playground complex at Golden Ears Elementary. They were part of a contingent of parents, teachers, kids, and helpers who put the fruits of four years of fundraising into place on Saturday.

Four years of bake sales and raffles at Golden Ears elementary culminated in 45 volunteers, mostly parents, building a new playground on Saturday. Seeing the kids using the new swings and climbing the new spider web-style jungle gym on Tuesday brought an overwhelming sense of accomplishment to parent advisory council chair Carrie-Anne Beggs. Her youngest son was starting kindergarten when she got involved. “It was really amazing, I can’t describe how fantastic it was to see all this come together,” Beggs said at the school on Tuesday. “Seeing the kids play on it today, it really drives home why we do what we do.” Students were given a choice of three playground designs and voted on which they liked best. Rick Moyer/TIMES The playground, designed to be accessVolunteer Owen Smith has a ible for children with number of connections to the disabilities, cost $75,000. Golden Ears Elementary playground The local Royal Canadian – his spouse teaches there, and Legion and Rotary and they have two children who attend Kiwanis clubs were among the school. the financial contributors. School principal Jon Wheatley called the playground building a career highlight. “It was a tremendously positive way to bring the school and community together,” Wheatley said. “So many parents came out and helped… contribute to their kids’ school. It’s great seeing people help make things better for their kids.” PAC committees are given $20 per student for new playgrounds from the provincial government, and some additional funding comes from the federal government and local Rotary clubs, said Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district communications manager Irena Pochop. The district provides no funding for new playgrounds. “The school district is really strapped for cash,” Pochop said, adding that a new playground can easily cost more than $100,000. “All schools need to fundraise when they need a new playground.” Over in east Maple Ridge, Blue Mountain Elementary will have an official grand opening of its new playground tomorrow (Friday) at 12:45 p.m.

Police did not elaborate any further on the incident, except to say there was no weapon produced.

Dresses more than clothing Local women are behind a B.C. movement to ensure those who have lost an infant can dress them beautifully for burial. by Ronda Payne editorial@mrtimes.com

What will happen to that wedding, grad, or other pretty dress in the closet? What about the fancy vest or tie next to it? People often keep these items of clothing, filled with memories, for “someday,” but aren’t too sure why. Instead of letting them gather dusty in a closet, it might be time to put them to good use through local women who turn them into gowns for infant burials. Pitt Meadows seamstress Sandy Kowalski started B.C. Angel Dresses out of her Pitt Meadows home in the spring of 2014 and has already recruited a team of seamstresses to help her with the love-filled labour. The Saskatchewan chapter of this organization is run by Kowalski’s daughterin-law, and lead to the formation of the B.C. chapter. “I started making a few and contacted B.C. Women’s Hospital,” Kowalski said of her first infant burial gowns. Her timing was ideal. The hospital had lost their last seamstress and the staff in charge loved the first few gowns Kowalski provided. “So I started up [the B.C. chapter],” she said. “We have about four or five sewers on the Island and maybe 10 here on the mainland.” The purpose of the organization is to provide, free of charge, a “dress” for each and every baby who does not live long enough to leave the hospital. One of Kowalski’s seamstresses is Leslie Goldsby, another Pitt Meadows resident. “There is never a charge for anyone who has experienced a loss,” Goldsby said. “If you’re a parent and have lost a baby, you can imagine trying to buy some-

PItt Meadows seamstresses Sandy Kowalski (above) and Leslie Goldsby are seeking donations of retired gowns and garment that could be remade into Angel Dresses for the burial of babies who have passed away.

thing like that [burial clothing for an infant].” The organization collects donated old and new wedding dresses, bridesmaids attire, grad gowns, and any formal wear with fabric the seamstresses can use. Kowalski is also on the hunt for donated trim or notions to enhance the gowns. She believes the best way to provide the dresses in a way that shows respect to the baby and the family is to work with hospitals that want to take advantage of the free service. It’s a program most hospitals have no budget for, Kowalski said. “What we really need is to hear from hospitals if they need the service. I’m having a real hard time getting ahold of hos-

pitals to find out if they need this service.” B.C. Angel Dresses is 100 per cent volunteer driven, so donations of dresses, fabric, notions, thread, and other sewing items are appreciated. For those who don’t have these items, but want to contribute, gift cards to stores like Michaels, WalMart, and Fabricana are also ideal, Kowalski said. She’s worked as a seamstress for hire for many years, but her hands have given out, so she looks to her team of sewers like Goldsby to keep the supply of various sizes of dresses coming. Kowalski has been teaching those with basic sewing experience how to improve their skills and create attractive, appropriate gowns for both male and female babies from pre-birth to six months. “I made these,” said Goldsby, holding up small satin pouches. “For babies who are too fragile or too small to dress. They need to have dignity. Their life mat-

ters.” Goldsby noted that when people find out what B.C. Angel Dresses does, the donations of dresses increase. “You know how hard it is to cut a wedding dress apart?” asked Goldsby. “But you’re turning around that blessing and sharing it. We can make 23 dresses out of it.” “It’s better than hanging in a closet,” Kowalksi agreed. “Once they know what it’s for, they start asking questions and are more likely to donate,” said Goldsby. “There is so much history in the dresses,” continued Kowalski. “It means something that they’re passing on that legacy,” Goldsby said of people who donate clothing with positive memories associated to it. Those from B.C. hospitals, seamstresses in northern B.C., and anyone who would like to donate sewing supplies or gift cards can contact Kowalski at mainlandb.c.angeldresses@ gmail.com.

M A R K E T P L AC E s ’ C B C Thanks Bruce,

I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optical store. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future.

The list

I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value. Sincerely, Amy Gill

Our View

Maybe least still your best The easiest, fastest, and most important first step towards getting involved in the democratic process is to vote. There’s certainly more to democracy than just voting, but it’s a good way to get started… and once you get into it, you’ll quickly realize that there’s more to voting than just casting a ballot on election day, too. Voting only works – democracy only works – if you know something about the candidates who have put their names up for election. To do it right, you’ll need to pay attention for the next few weeks of election campaigning. We’ll be offering you information about the candidates in our news and opinion columns. And many will offer some information about themselves through advertising, appearing at special functions aimed at bringing candidates and voters together, and perhaps in some cases, through some old-fashioned door-knocking or telephone calls. The election signs that will soon start cropping up all over the place may seem annoying – but they really do serve a purpose: they enhance name recognition for the candidates, and they remind all of us that an important process that underpins our relatively free and open society is underway. We’re not going to get into those trite condemnations, like, “If you don’t vote, you have no right to complain,” or, “If you don’t like who you’ve got to vote for, then run for office yourself.” In a real democracy, you always have a right to complain. But why complain when you can do something concrete about your concerns instead? We know that not everyone can stand for office, either. It’s not everyone’s style, and it costs time or money that not all of us are able to muster. But if you do have the resources and the inclination, nominations don’t close until 4 p.m. on Friday. Even if voting is the least you can do, it’s also the best you can do. –B.G.

Neighbourhood safety

Pride in community beats violence

Dear Editor, Re the commentary, “I’m not staying here much longer… There’s always these people hanging around out at the 7-Eleven and a lot of drug dealing going on.” I’m not certain how I can live in the same neighbourhood and have a polar opposite perspective, yet I do. As for people loitering there, that simply isn’t the case; they do get much traffic, there is normally always activity, there at the odd occasion have been people hanging around waiting for something or for no real reason at all, but I don’t find any of that sinister or out of character for a location that is open 24 hours. There are often people hanging around Tim

Horton’s and RidgeMeadows Hospital, also. Even if there are people hanging about, in 15 years of living Letters here and frequentto ing that 7-Eleven in the all hours of the day or night, I’ve never once had a problem with anyone. Interesting how one can read about an isolated incident [One dead, one critical, Oct. 2, TIMES] – which not only could, but does happen elsewhere – in which two losers dropped their drama in their front yards, and suddenly it’s “typical of Maple Ditch.” Instead, let’s all have a pride of community, pat ourselves on the back for reacting in the manner we

In light of last week’s spate of violence locally – a fatal knife/gun fight and a couple of days later a daylight mugging, we asked, “Is it safe on the streets of Maple Ridge?” These were just some responses: “When we moved from the mall to 224th I was nervous about security. After almost 2 years on 224th… we haven’t had any problems. Now, I am not walking around late at night, and if I do, my hubby comes and meets me… we could use some better lighting… but really, safety comes from being aware of your surroundings and making smart decisions.” – T’s/ OnceUponATeaLeaf.com “Businesses around 224th are being affected. As business owners, we are trying to improve the area, but we need to provide a safe environment for our clientele, especially at night. More lights and police patrol on Selkirk St. are ugently needed. PLEASE!” – Liliana De Anda Knorr “My husband and I moved from North Vancouver two years back. I knew nothing about Maple Ridge… I was warned by neighbours to not walk at night through certain parks or places. I took their advice. I thought I live in a safe neighbourhood but a few weeks back my car, parked in the drive was broken and rifled through… Freaked me out. Now I don’t even step out of my house at night alone… besides the land space, there is nothing here that interests me or makes me want to live here.” – Juliana Vincent-Phillips “20 years ago Maple Ridge was awesome… but… our population grew. And when that happens, people should expect more crime. I’ve lived in the area where all these shootings and stabbings have happened recently, and I feel as safe as I did 15 years ago… Someone will always be in the wrong place at the wrong time and unfortunate events will happen… If you want to live in an area with no crime, launch yourself into the sun via rocket ship, because crime is everywhere.” – Jordan Mcmyn Carotenuto Mayo “Crime expands according to our willingness to put up with it.” – Deon van der Heever “I have lived in this beautiful town for over 20 years. I feel safe in my community, but I have been mugged by someone on a 10-speed while trying to make a deposit at my bank – mortgage and Xmas money was stolen… I still feel it is a beautiful community, but I feel as the population has increased, naturally so has the crime.” – Bambina Lalina “No it is not safe, and it is a disgrace! Driving into Maple Ridge you see hookers, people riding bikes pulling shopping carts, crack heads darting into traffic, people crossing the highway wherever they feel like it, groups standing around using and dealing drugs, people camping all over the streets and rummaging through garbage cans! I am not heartless, I am just fed up with what has happened to Maple Ridge.” – Fiona Taillon Miller “Watched a store detective and junkie fist-fight outside Target a couple days ago; this city is fading fast, and I think it’s out of control already.” – Barb Alexander

did, always look out for your neighbour as well as yourselves, thank the first responders for doing what they do, and not let our Maple Ridge suffer badly as a result of those who don’t have such pride and connections as those we are fortunate to have. This wasn’t Maple Ridge’s or 7-Eleven’s fault. Bob Adams, Maple Ridge

Just Saying

Good points weak on facts

Dear Editor, Gordy Robson’s column on the deployment of Canadian military assets to the Middle East [Canada’s foreign policy bombs, Oct. 7 Just Saying, TIMES] was refreshing, albeit factually incorrect on a couple of points. The errors occur in the following paragraph: “Surprisingly, no one has pointed out the fact we have to set up a new base in Qatar instead of using the secret Canadian base in Dubai, which we were given 30 days notice to vacate in 2010. But that is another story. Harper made being Canadian a bad word in Dubai with his treatment of the Dubai government.” To my knowledge, there is no Canadian base in Qatar. There are Canadian Forces personnel serving under the auspices of “Operation Foundation,” through which a handful are stationed at a United States base in Qatar (as well as Bahrain and in Jordan). It may be that Gordy is referring instead to the establishment of an “Operational Support Hub” in Kuwait. This was established following, as he correctly points out, the closure of the not-so-secret base in the UAE, Camp Mirage. There was a strain in Canadian-UAE relations, but that spat ended in late 2011, and relations have been back on course since then. Canadian soldiers have since served at a different UAE base in Abu Dhabi, Al Dhafra, under a co-manning agreement with the US, and Canada and the UAE have renewed ties by launching a strategic dialogue, including deepened defense and economic relations. Gordy is correct to point out that Canada’s problematic ties with Arab dictatorships are largely being ignored, despite their direct relevance to the unfolding bombing campaign.

Fundraiser

Rotary hosts Oktoberfest

Traditional German food and music will help local Rotarians raise money for local causes. by Christopher Sun csun@mrtimes.com

The cool air and leaves changing colour indicate it’s now fall, but to some, it also means it’s time to bring out the beer, sauerkraut, and bratwurst. Meadow Ridge Rotary is hosting its second annual Oktoberfest on Saturday, Oct. 11, at Pitt Meadows Heritage Hall. Tickets are $45 and include a take-home mug, one beer or wine, a traditional German dinner, and live entertainment.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Young Turkeys

Spiral Ham

Money raised helps local charities, said organizer Mark Vosper. “It’s a social event to raise money for funds to disburse to local causes,” Vosper said. “It’s a fun event.” There will also be a 50/50 draw, a $100 prize for the best dressed man and woman, and a yodeling competition. The 200 tickets available are expected to sell out. Tickets can be had at Ridge Meadows Hospice Society, 22320 119th Avenue, by calling 604-463-7722 or emailing mark@ridgemeadowshospice.org. Oktoberfest originated in Bavaria and is a 16-day festival running from late September to early October in Munich. It is famously known as a beer-drinking festival, but is a celebration of Bavarian culture.

Gourmet Grannies Reg McNichol, Candace Gordon and Eve Worrall handed out free samples of cooked squash at a recent Haney Farmers Market.

Farmers market

Knowledge shared with food Gourmet Grannies is a staple at the Haney Farmers Market, with free food samples and cooking advice. by Christopher Sun csun@mrtimes.com

An exploding ginger bread did not discourage a young Candace Gordon from entering a kitchen again. Instead, her mother and mentor chalked it up as a learning experience. “My mother was like, ‘Oh well, let’s clean it up,’ and the next week, we got to make another ginger bread,” Gordon recalled. “I was lucky to have a mother who was very encouraging, and who cooked everything from scratch.” That experience sparked an interest for Gordon, setting her on the pathway to becoming a lifelong foodie. She dreamed of studying cooking at Cordon Bleu in Paris when she was eight, but she instead studied animal behaviour. “I joke with people that I studied the eating behaviour of all those I was cooking for,” Gordon said with a laugh. Gordon is the founder of Gourmet Grannies, a group of retirees who have extensive experience in the kitchen. Every Saturday, volunteers give out samples, featuring locally grown vegetables and fruits at the Haney Farmers Market, and provide free cooking advice. She started the program three years ago as a way for seniors to be active in the community, by sharing their cooking knowledge and interacting with younger people. “When people age, they often become less val-

ued and more invisible,” Gordon said. “This program features the strengths and the knowledge and wisdom of seniors. It makes them less invisible.” There are about 10 gourmet granny volunteers, and while men are invited to participate, under the moniker of Gourmet Rooster, there are no men currently volunteering. “Eighty years ago, 70 years ago, you were going to get married and the man worked and the woman cooked,” Gordon said, explaining the generation gap. “Men cooking in the kitchen was not as prevalent back then.” Some samples the Gourmet Grannies have handed out include pancake made with locally grown blueberries, peach upside down cake, and lesser known vegetables such as kohlrabi. Gordon searches the internet, magazines, and her collection of 500 cook books to find recipes for a locally grown item she plans to feature each week. She prepares 200 samples on average. “We provide them samples and a recipe card,” Gordon said. “We feature a different fruit or vegetable every week. We follow what is in season or what is available right now.” Gordon ran a local restaurant in the 1980s and 90s, and currently teaches cooking and sits on a number of committees and boards promoting food security and healthy eating in the community. She also served as a Maple Ridge municipal councillor for 12 years. The Gourmet Grannies will be at this Saturday’s Haney Farmers Market at Memorial Peace Park from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The

theme is Thanksgiving Dinner. It will be the last outdoor market for the year due to weather, and will move indoors to the Grow and Gather, 24565 Dewdney Trunk Rd., starting Oct. 18. For more about the market and Gourmet Grannies, visit www.haneyfarmersmarket.org.

today’sdrive 20 15 VW GTI

Your journey starts here.

If you’d prefer to ﬂy under the radar, this is that sort of car BY BRENDAN McALEER

brendanmcaleer@gmail.com

•

The steering wheel is the best-looking one this side of a Porsche Macan Turbo, a flat-bottomed, hefty helm with metallic spokes, and a GTI badge worked into the metal. The rest of the cabin now cants towards the driver like a 1980s BMW (in a good way), the red-stitched seats are comfortable and well-bolstered, and there’s a more modern looking touchscreen for audio and navigation functions.

Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer

Thirty years ago, Canada got its first taste of a new kind of flavour: the hot hatchback. Released in 1976 in Europe, it took nearly a decade to reach our shores, and even then it came in a slightly watered-down version. It didn’t matter. This plucky little lightweight hatchback promptly set everyone’s pants ablaze with its scampering chuckability. You could fling it into a corner like a skipping stone and come out the other side with a grin so wide the top of your head was in danger of detaching.

There’s also quite a lot of room for a car that debuted as the performance version of the tiny little Rabbit. The trunk space is larger than that of a WRX sedan to start with, and then the split-folding rear seats and passthrough come into play to create an even-more-flexible cargo area. Or, leave it all buttoned up, and fit a rear-facing child seat or four adults with ease.

And ever since then, the GTI’s got fatter and faster with every generation. A more powerful four-cylinder engine, a narrow-angle V6, and finally turbocharging all debuted underhood, but the demand for greater refinement and more space caused this once-small car to balloon. But no more. Here is the seventh generation GTI, and curb weights are on their way back down again. Power is up, chassis stiffness is improved, the interior is upgraded – the king of the hot hatchbacks is back.

Performance:

But that’s just the level of practicality that makes the regular Golf such a hot seller overseas. Built on the bones of a European family car, the GTI also needs a bit of steam for when its driver is alone on some winding back road.

Design:

In many ways, the GTI is the Porsche 911 you can actually afford. If you scroll all the way back to the two-box shape of the original, you can still see the same lines here: an upright stance, a large greenhouse, a usefully-proportioned hatchback shape.

That shove comes from a familiar powerplant: a 2.0L four-cylinder featuring direct injection and turbocharging. Here, redesigned to incorporate the exhaust manifold directly into the head, it makes 210hp at 4500rpm (not much of a bump there), and 258lb/ft of torque at just 1600rpm.

Compared to rivals like the Focus ST or the Mazdaspeed3, the GTI is considerably more subdued. A thin red strip accents the front end from headlight to headlight, and foglights peek out from behind the side strakes. The back sports dual exhausts, and there are small, tasteful red GTI badges on either side.

That’s an extra 50lb/ft of low end grunt over last year’s model, and it makes the GTI much more tractable and willing at street speeds to haul itself out of a corner or down and onramp with gumption. High-revving engines are fun too, but as a quick point-to-point car, the GTI’s new engine provides real-world speed without looking like you’re pulling a Vin Diesel.

The large, five-spoke 18” alloys tend to say the most about this car’s sporting intent, but the rest is a collection of performance hints, rather than shouty plumage. If you’d prefer to fly under the radar, this is that sort of car.

Environment:

Inside the GTI, we find much the same story. No red seatbelts or endless swathes of tacked-on carbon-fibre trim here: just an all-black interior that’s a little too austere, if anything.

Grip is simply excellent, although later-release cars will be available with even more, thanks to a Performance Package that includes a true front differential, larger brakes, and a slight bump in hp. As it is, the GTI handles with aplomb, albeit with a little less feedback from the

steering than in past hydraulically assisted systems. Transmission choices include either a six-speed manual, which is far an away the most fun, or a six-speed dual-clutch automatic that does a good job in still giving the driver control while purring away happily in traffic. As always, the GTI proves itself a jack-of-all-trades, tackling stop and go traffic with good sightlines and a comfortable ride, hitting up the highway with relatively little wind-noise, and then tackling a winding backroad with scrappy handling and a nose-full of boost. Essentially, it does everything you ask of it. The only real caveat here is that the GTI might be a little too competent to have a lot of character. Like the current-gen 911, it’s so polished as to not have any of the rough edges that can make you fall in love with a car. On the other hand, I just compared a family hatchback to a Porsche 911 twice. Enough said.

Features:

For launch, VW Canada has requisitioned a batch of GTI’s that are fairly pricey, but very loaded. Bluetooth, dual-zone climate control, and a giant panoramic sunroof are all standard. Leather seating and a 5.8” touchscreen satellite navigation are optional. Fuel economy is rated at 9.5L/100kms in the city and 7.2L/100kms on the highway for the DSG automatic, and slightly better for the manual. Surprisingly, and perhaps the cherry on top, is that the GTI will actually hit these mileage targets even if driven with a bit of spirit. Premium is recommended, of course.

Green Light:

Usable cargo space; excellent dynamics; refined ride and polished interior; strong, efficient engine

Stop Sign:

Somewhat small touchscreen; more refined than outand-out fun; options can drive up price

BMX

Females bring it to BMX track

Ridge Meadows BMX club sees an increase in female riders and encourages more.

Professional BMX riders Amelia Walsh (left) and Laurie Harding are two regular riders and racers who call the Ridge Meadows BMX track in Pitt Meadows home. The club’s Jaime Libby said they are always looking to attract more women of all ages and abilities to the sport.

by Eric Zimmer ezimmer@mrtmes.com

Bryn Harvey didn’t hestitate when asked what she liked most about riding BMX. “The jumping,” replied the eight-year-old Maple Ridge rider. Ten-year-old Shay Knight, another Maple Ridge rider said her favourite thing about the sport was “winning.” Knight and Harvey are both part of the Ridge Meadows BMX Club and are part of a continuously growing female movement in a sport that’s traditionally maledominated. And growing this participation is a goal of the club, explained Jaime Libby, whose daughter Caden also rides. Libby said that even now, the club regularly sees about 12 to 15 female riders come out to ride events at the track, but added she would love to see more. “Let’s get some more girls to the track,” she said. And it’s people like Amelia Wash who are helping to do this. Walsh, a 22-year old professional rider, and Olympic hopeful works as a coach with Ridge Meadows BMX, and is helping to fuel the fire of female participation in the sport. Originally from Ontario, Walsh said she moved to the community with her brother because “there wasn’t really anyone to ride with back home.” Now, in addition to finding a group of riders of all ages and abilities in her adopted hometown, Walsh also got the opportunity to ride and compete on the international circuit. “I’ve been to places like the Netherlands, Argentina, and Germany,” she said. “It’s my first year on the circuit, so I’m just kind of getting into the habit of competing with the best in the world,” she said. This in itself is no small achievement, and Walsh said she even “made it to a couple quarterfinal rounds.” For someone who started BMX when she was 15, and is a selfdescribed “late-comer to the game,” the results are an encour-

aging progression. Now, she hopes to improve on these results and finish even stronger going forward. Walsh began riding BMX after watching her brother – who took up BMX when he was six, race at the track back home. “I used to just hang out at the track,” she recalled. “I was a gymnast, but I soon realized I wasn’t going anywhere with that.” Watching her brother rip around on his bike looked like fun, and Walsh decided to take up the sport herself, and now has her sights set on the 2016 Olympics. Besides the training and involvement that comes with preparing for the world stage, Walsh is also happy to pass on her knowledge and love of the sport to the younger generation, as a coach with Ride Meadows BMX. “I do the Learn-to-Ride and private coach some of the girls,” she said. “I just kind of want to give back to the sport.”

A way of life

For fellow Ridge Meadows BMX track rider Laurie Harding, BMX is more than a sport. It’s become a way of life.

Some choices are hard.

“I started riding because my kids were into it and it was something fun we could do together,” the 43-year-old Surrey resident explained. Harding started riding in Kamloops in 2004. However, an accident during a race sidelined her until 2006. “My competitive nature overrode my skill level, and I went down hard in a corner,” she recalled. But Harding couldn’t stay away from the sport, and was soon back in the saddle, competing and placing in some big-name competitions. “I went to the worlds in Victoria in 2007,” she said. “It was one of the greatest moments of my life.” The competition was one of a number of career highlights for the rider. “I’ve won almost every title I can, except for the world,” she said. “I’ve taken the BC Cup title almost every year that I’ve raced, I’ve won nationally in my age group with the Canadian Bicycle Association every year but two, I’ve won the overall national for

most points for a female cruiser twice, and I’ve won the Canadian championship a couple of times.” In addition, Harding bested the American national champion in her age group two years ago. It’s an impressive resume to be sure, but there’s more to riding then results. Harding explained that she has had some “tough things” happen to her in the past four years, and through it all, it’s her “BMX family” that’s been there for her. Her kids have since stopped racing, but Harding has continued riding with the club. “I come here (Ridge Meadows BMX track) not just for the racing, but because of the friends I have here,” she said. “These little girls – I want them to know they can do this and keep doing this for as long as they like, and I want them to be successful in this sport.” The track is at 17130 Barnes Rd., Pitt Meadows.
