Warning issued about cat deaths by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter

Police are warning cat owners to be on alert following a series of deaths involving mutilation that have emerged from one Maple Ridge neighbourhood in a span of three months. The ﬁrst complaint about a cat decapitation was received in July, and though it was reported to police and the Maple Ridge SPCA, the owner was told her kitten was killed by a coyote. Since then, however, three more cats have died – all killed around the middle of the month, all horribly mutilated. “The SPCA never even called me back,” said Monika Soos, who lost her three-month old kitten, Mau, in July. Missing overnight, Mau was found July 15 on Soos front lawn on Stephens Street, near 118 A Avenue, her head severed and placed neatly next to her bubble-gum pink collar. See Cats, p13

time on the job. “My understanding is they’re not paid for part of the time they are there,” said Doug Woollard, vicepresident of organizational development with Community Living. “I understand they work and are not paid for that.” That’s not true, counters Kim Day, executive-director with the recycling society. All workers are paid minimum wage from the time their shift starts – but many arrive early or have to wait for the Handi-Dart bus after their shift ends, in which

case they’re not paid for that waiting time, Day explained. “You’re paid for working, when you’re working. “We deﬁnitely support them while they’re on site, but not in a work setting. “That’s part of what it means to be in a supported work environment.” Twenty-nine developmentally disabled workers, along with three support workers, were to be laid off Sept. 30, after Community Living said it wouldn’t renew the contract.

Since then, a three-month extension until, Dec. 31, has been granted to the program, in which those with mentally disabilities earn minimum wage of $8.75 an hour in part-time jobs sorting and processing recyclables at the depot in the Albion industrial area. Despite Social Development Minister Harry Bloy’s comment on CKNW radio Thursday that all parties are working to maintain the program, Community Living says it wants to change to a more current employment program.

A struggle for health care S tor y by Rober t Mangelsdor f

he worst thing Brianne Nagy could have ever done is turn 19.

Brianne, or “Breezy” to her parents, Bill and Kelly, suffers from a rare neurological disorder called Rett Syndrome. She weighs just 90 pounds and is conﬁned to a wheelchair. She last ate solid food when she was 18 months old, and is fed through a tube directly into her stomach as she sleeps. She suffers seizures that come without warning, and despite her small frame, she can pose a serious risk to herself and others. “She’s put a couple care workers out of commission,” says her mother Kelly. “She injured my rotator cuff before.” Since she was a child, Brianne has split her time between her parents’ Maple Ridge home and Fletcher House, a residential care home operated by Arcus Community Resources. At Fletcher House, she receives around-the-clock care, four days a week, surrounded by the other residents she has known and lived with for years. The rest of the week, she is at home with her family. She sleeps in a specially-designed $15,000 bed, close to her parents and her sister and brother. The Nagys have designed their home to accommodate Brianne. The hallways are wide, providing easy access for her wheelchair. Even the couches in the living room split apart, so Brianne can sit with the family in her wheelchair while they watch Disney movies – Brianne’s favourite. In her bedroom, a special hoist enables her to pull herself out of bed, and with help, into a custom bathtub. Even though Kelly stays at home to care for Brianne, a care worker is present at all times. Brianne requires constant attention while she feeds at night to prevent her from vomiting and choking on the food pumped directly into her stomach. Should Brianne have a seizure, it takes two people to hold her down so she doesn’t hurt herself. In a typical month she may have 100 to 200 such episodes. “Breezy is a two-man job,” says Kelly. “One person can’t look after her by themselves.” For the past dozen years, the family has lived this way. It may not be normal, but it has been stable, and that has been enough. That changed on Brianne’s birthday this past summer. Previously, her care was funded

Bill and Kelly Nagy need help taking care for their 19-year-old daughter Brianne. through the Ministry of Children and Family Development. When she turned 19, however, the Ministry of Social Development took over, and the Nagys were forced to negotiate with Community Living B.C. and the Fraser Health Authority for care for their daughter. The Nagys were told Brianne’s care was be too expensive to continue funding. What the government agencies offered instead didn’t come close to what is needed to care for their daughter, the Nagys believe. “The transition has been hell,” says Kelly. “All we want is the same care she’s always had. It’s not like her condition changed the day she turned 19. She’s still the same Breezy.” The ﬁrst offer from CLBC and Fraser Health was for 23 hours of community inclusion, which would see Brianne take supervised outings in place of going to school, and 26 hours per week for personal care, with no respite care. The other 119 hours a week, the Nagys would have to care for Brianne on their own. “We were in total shock,” says Bill Nagy. “She has to be monitored like a new born. It would break us as a family.” Since Brianne needs two people present at all times should she suffer a seizure, Bill says he would have to quit his job and stay home

with Brianne. “I’ve been very fortunate to be able to provide for my family,” says Bill, who runs a custom stainless steel shop in Port Coquitlam. That allows Kelly to stay at home and care not only for Brianne, but for their 16-year-old son, who is autistic and has been diagnosed with attention-deﬁcit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). “If I had to stop working, it would bankrupt us,” Bill says. “We would have to give her up.” CLBC currently supports over 13,400 people with developmental disabilities across the province, with an annual budget of more than $700 million, and those numbers are climbing year after year. “As the demand for CLBC supports and services continues to increase, we must effectively manage our resources to ensure we can support more individuals and families each year,” a CLBC spokesperson said. “Fairness and consistent decision making are important to CLBC so that we can ensure equity in support services across the province.” According to CLBC, funding and the type of support provided depends upon the individual’s current disability-related needs, support preferences, and preferred home environment. Services can include respite, residential sup-

ports, community inclusion and employment supports. Meanwhile, personal home health care is provided by Fraser Health. The care an individual receives one day prior to their 19th birthday, however, doesn’t seem to be taken into account, says Bill, and that shouldn’t change just because another ministry takes over. “We just want things to stay the way they are,” says Bill. “Brianne may be 19, but she’s still very much a child. We don’t see why they have to turn our lives upside down.” Both he and his wife have been exasperated by the process, the constant meetings, emails, negotiations, the uncertainty. It comes down to money, says Jerry Stanger, Fraser Health’s director of home health care, and in B.C. there is more funding available for children with serious illnesses than for adults. “All of the health system has ﬁnancial pressure,” Stanger says. “The home health portfolio also serves seniors, community home support, and people with brain injuries. We have to balance all those needs with the funding we get from the province. “We have to be stewards of all those dollars.” However, Kelly Nagy doesn’t accept the argument that there isn’t enough money to go around.

“[The provincial government] can find money for convention centres and the Olympics and a new roof for B.C. Place,” says Kelly. “The government has its priorities all screwed up.” Stanger says work is being done to smooth the transition to adult services. A committee with representatives from each of the ministries and agencies involved with providing ongoing care meets every two months, he says. “One of the key priorities is youth transition, we want to try to improve the handoff to make it more seamless, to improve information for parents,” Stanger says. “People can be understandably frustrated navigating the system. It’s difficult when you are working with four or five agencies.” He says the agencies involved are looking at ways to improve communication. “I would hope within the next six to 12 months, we would have a protocol we could work with,” says Stanger. According to a CLBC spokesperson, the Ministry of Children and Family Development and CLBC begin transition planning with families as early as a person’s 15th birthday. Bill Nagy finds that hard to believe. He says he initiated contact with CLBC more than two years ago to start the transition process early enough so that it would be smooth. But little progress was made before Brianne’s birthday on July 12. “They’ve had this on their radar for years,” says Bill. “It’s like one hand doesn’t know what the other is doing.” After firing off emails to ministers, MLAs, even Premier Christy Clark, CLBC and Fraser Health countered with an offer that would provide the Nagys with enough funding to pay for a care worker to tend to Brianne less than half the time per day than before she turned 19. But to access it, the family would have incorporate as a non-profit “microboard”, hire a care worker as their own employee, and be responsible for all payroll and tax paperwork. The other option presented to the family was to leave Brianne full-time at a care home where a spare bed exists, which would be a cheaper option than providing inhome care. “We don’t want to get rid of her ... she doesn’t get the kind of love and affection there like at home,” says Kelly. “All we want is the status quo.” Because CLBC’s and Fraser Health’s budget isn’t adequate to provide appropriate care for all of its clients, Bill says they are trying to force parents to accept inadequate care for their children, because it costs less. “It’s just a constant battle,” he says.

Car Care Four years later, Maple Ridge ‘Shouldn’t be so hard’ with Cyril Barry

MONDAY MORNING So there I am, standing in my usual spot behind the front counter, a few minutes before 8am preparing for another crazy week. In rolls a regular customer in his Ford Focus Station Wagon, parking in front of the office. It’s Monday morning, he’s the first arrival of the day, so he has my undivided attention. Then I watch something unfold that I’ve never laid my eyes on in over 20 years at our current location or for that matter in my entire auto repair career. He goes to the back of the car, opens the hatch and proceeds to pull out a low profile bucket, which he then puts under the front engine compartment of his car to catch what’s obviously leaking. To say that I was impressed would be a huge understatement. The Focus had a coolant leak, and it was landing directly on the ground just behind the driver’s side front tire. What our customer was concerned about was that coolant getting into the drainage sewer and all the enviro damage that results from that. Google it, you’ll be very shocked by what a small amount of coolant, oil or gas leakage can do to harm the world we live in. So I asked Curt if I could use his name and write an article about this visit because I wanted to use his good judgment (catching the leakage so it minimizes environmental damage) to expand upon a very common auto-related problem. That is, most vehicles we see on a daily basis have either an oil leak, or a small coolant leak, which should not be ignored. He was amused by the request but approved of the idea of informing others about this problem. As you drive your vehicle of choice and it starts racking up the mileage, it WILL develop oil leaks, and on occasion coolant leaks. This is totally normal, you are driving a machine powered by an internal combustion engine, and they all leak after awhile. What you need to accept is repairing those leaks is a normal part of a longterm maintenance plan. When oil leaks, no matter where, it all runs down to the bottom of the engine compartment and then onto the ground. As the oil runs down the engine it creates collateral damage to everything it comes in contact with, such as belts, hoses, electrical wiring, etc. The trick is to fix the small leaks before they become big ones as they won’t fix themselves. Coolant leaks tend to be much more dramatic as your engine has 3-4 times the coolant capacity as it does engine oil, and it’s under constant pressure, unlike engine oil. Under no circumstances should you drive your car without fixing a coolant leak. Your first clue that you have a leak is if you need to add fluid to anything that takes it, barring the fuel tank and window washer reservoir. If you have to add fluid, likely you have a leak in that system you’re filling.

man faces child porn charges Uploaded 108 images to a Flickr account by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter A Maple Ridge man charged last month with possessing child pornography first appeared on the radar for Ridge Meadows Mounties four years ago. Douglas James McNally may have slipped through cracks in 2007, but resurfaced again this year after he allegedly uploaded 108 images to a Flickr account that included sexually explicit photographs of pre-pubescent girls. In a search warrant application, police reveal that 67-year-old was flagged in 2007 by Canada’s National Child Exploitation Coordination Centre, which passed the information to the RCMP’s Integrated Child Exploitation unit. The ICE investigation lead police to an address in Maple Ridge where McNally lived and those details were forwarded to Ridge Meadows Mounties. But RCMP was unable to act on the information “due to delays” and closed the file. A CD containing images of child

abuse related to the file was also destroyed. In 2011, however, police received another cyber tip and acted on it quickly. In the search warrant application police wrote that “these types of suspects are a risk to children within their community and the present investigation is the perfect opportunity to prevent or stop any harm that could come to them.” Police were granted a search warrant in June for McNally’s house, where a computer, laptop, cell phone and cameras were seized. In August, Crown approved one count each of importing or distributing child porn and possessing child pornography against him. The accusations have yet to be proven in court. McNally has since been released on bail, but is bound by conditions that include no contact with persons under 16 years. He must also stay away from parks, day cares, swimming pools or anywhere children may be present. He is not allowed to access the Internet except for work, banking and to communicate with family. McNally’s next appearance in court is scheduled for Sept. 22.

PROFESSIONAL SEWING & ALTERATIONS

Care from p3 “They make you fight for everything, and the parents that don’t fight, don’t get what they should, and that’s what they want, because it costs them less. “It’s not right.” Their situation is far from unique, say the Nagys. “Everyone who has a child with a severe disability has to go through this when their kid turns 19,” says Bill. On Wednesday, the province announced it would be boosting funding to CLBC by an additional $8.9 million to help provide priority services to adults with developmental disabilities and their families. The increase represents a 1.2 per cent bump in CLBC’s total annual budget for this year. “The care, comfort and well-being of developmentally disabled individuals and their families is a key priority for Community Living B.C. and this government,” said Minister of Social Development Harry Bloy. “We have heard the concerns of individuals and their families who are asking for further supports through CLBC, and we are happy to announce an additional $8.9 million to help those who need these services.” After six months of negotiations, the Nagy’s have finally been offered care similar to what Brianne received before she was 19. She will get three nights a week at home, and four in respite care. However, Brianne will still have to move out of Fletcher House and into a different care home, a prospect that still worries the Nagys. Because of her condition, Brianne can’t communicate in any coherent way. Her parents can tell when she is agitated and when she is happy and calm, and say the past six months have been hell on her, they say. “She doesn’t know what’s going on,” Kelly says. “She’s so stressed out. We all are. “It shouldn’t have to be this hard.”

Real worth T

he provincial government has extended funding for mentally challenged adults working at the Ridge Meadows Recycling Depot for three more months. After that, they’ll likely have to find other work. On Wednesday, the province and Community Living B.C. announced $8.9 million to provide priority services to adults with developmental disabilities. That money will provide support and services to 540 people, but it is unclear if that includes the 29 mentally challenged employees in the sheltered program at the depot. That program has been phased out since a review in the 1990s found it was a not in compliance with the Employment Standards Act. Community Living B.C. claims the mentally challenged workers at the recycling depot are not paid for all the hours they work, although depot executive director Kim Day maintains that is not true. Without grant money, though, most of those in the program at the depot will have to find other work, likely in the private sector, if they can. That doesn’t mean they aren’t doing real work now, because they do. More importantly, the work they do – sorting cans and bottles, paper and cardboard – gives them value, a place to belong and make friends, not just earn a pay cheque. They want to stay. They want to work. The program has worked for 22 years. Social Development Minister Harry Bloy says all parties are working to maintain it, but is seems as though CLBC has made up its mind and the program is dead. First, it pulled funding for the program. But after a backlash in the community, the funding was temporarily reinstated. So instead of losing their jobs now, the depot workers will be let go right after Christmas. It’s a callous move that affects those less able to help themselves and at a time when everyone knows the province is hurting financially. Why does every decision have to be about money? If CLBC isn’t sure that the recycling depot employees are being paid for all their efforts, send Pamela Martin over to do some real work, so she can report to her friend, Premier Christy Clark, the program’s real worth. – The News

Trust lost in the goodness of people W

ith the 10th anniversary of 9/11 behind us, we have had ample opportunity to reﬂect on how our world has changed. To me, the loss of trust in the goodness of most people is probably the most serious change. I used to enjoy visiting Health Care Marco Terwiel friends south of the border, but crossing the 49th parallel now has become an uncomfortable experience most of the time since anyone undertaking a trip to the Unit States is regarded as a potential threat and subjected to a style of questioning that makes me feel annoyed, and that, in turn, has resulted in far fewer visits. Travel by air has become a real hassle even when ﬂying to any destination in the lower 400 kilometres of our country. In the course of my frequent trips to the Canadian Arctic, I have become a real pro in minimizing the inconvenience and indignities of having to undergo an invasive physical body search by avoiding wearing anything that would cause any of those surveillance machines to go beep. But it is still annoying to have to unpack your laptop not once, but several times and have someone check if there aren’t any explosives hidden inside. That happens at some airports and not at

uestion of the week:

others; the inconsistencies in the various airports never cease to amaze me. Some require you to take off your shoes and others do not, some require that you put certain toiletries in a plastic bag and all the others in another plastic bag and at other airports it doesn’t seem to matter if they are all in one clear plastic bag and there are many other rather silly examples. In my travels to the Canadian Arctic, the contrast between the omnipresent surveillance and suspicion in the southern reaches of our country and the far north is striking. Thompson, Manitoba happens to be the last place where one has to go through security. It is a relief to land in Churchill and beyond in an atmosphere where people trust one another. No more security checks, no closed-circuit security cameras, no need to put sky marshals on the plane, no secure cockpits and nobody worries if you carry a knife or other weapon. Of course, it helps that the total population of Nunavut is somewhere around 30,000 people and the social fabric among these people is amazing. It is, therefore, extremely unlikely that you will ﬁnd yourself on a plane where every passenger is a stranger to all the others. Even the very ﬁrst time that I traveled from Winnipeg to Rankin Inlet, I was no longer a stranger to some of the other passengers by the time we were ready to board. During the hour that all 18 passengers were gathered near our gate, several

people struck up a conversation, curious who this unfamiliar person was. One turned out to be a fellow physician who had been serving the Inuit population for many years; two were nurses returning after a break from the stresses of working full-time and being on call every three nights for weeks on end. All the others were obviously Inuit returning to their home communities after visits, investigations or treatments at the Health Sciences Center in Winnipeg. Most of them were talking to one another in Inuktitut and that was my first exposure to the official language in Nunavut. Suffice it to say, I did not understand a single word and that did not lead to initiating any conversation. Later on I found out that most of the Inuit are rather shy, especially with people from another ethnic background, but most of the younger generation speak fluent English. In general, the “white man” is looked upon with a degree of suspicion until they have had an opportunity to get to know you. However, this initial doubt has not translated in the over-the-top distrust that exists in south, with all the surveillance and suspicion. During that first flight north, I was sitting next to an Inuit passenger and I thought it was appropriate to introduce myself. That resulted in a learning session for me what I was to expect at my destination. See Health, p7

THE NEWS/letters EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Teachers have earned their pay (Letters, Sept. 7). This is a comment on the remarks of Kristie Ward and all others who have been defending teachers. It is true that teachers earn their pay, as do firefighters, hospital workers, police officers and others paid by society. The fundamental problem is, the performance of the economy is cyclical. It goes up and it goes down. That performance dictates the amount of money the government (society) has at its disposal. This is not reflected in any union agreement. A union agreement is set in stone for a period of time, which, when negotiated, could be in a good economy. During the time between signing the agreement and when the next one is negotiated, the economy could very well have tanked, as it has recently. Therefore, teachers need to understand, they are valuable and they are worthy of raises, but, there just is no money for increases at this time. Now, if the union negotiators want to look outside the box, maybe they could negotiate an agreement that would allow for wage increases in the event the GDP (or some other acceptable benchmark) was to reach an agreed performance level. This way, they would be fairly compensated automatically, when the economy improved, and if the economy did not improve, well, at least they would not face rollbacks. MIKE BOILEAU MAPLE RIDGE

chat@mapleridgenews.com Real work From: Ceed Centre, posted on mapleridgenews.com. Re: Funding reinstated for jobs program (The News, Sept. 14). Our developmentally delayed workers at the recycling depot already perform real work. In this position, they are an asset and save us money while reaping the benefits of feeling like a useful member of society. To cut this program is to cut off our own feet in spite our legs. I urge the decision makers to think it through.

A refreshing environment Health from p6 Later on, once most of my patients had ﬁgured out that I was there to help, they became quite friendly and each time I returned to one of the Nunavut communities, I found it refreshing to work in an environment where social relationships are founded on trust, despite the many societal problems affecting the lives of the Inuit. Dr. Marco Terwiel is a retired family physician who lives in Maple Ridge.

Measuring worth of our society EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Funding reinstated for jobs program (The News, Sept. 14). Carla Thiesen, the Fraser Region’s director of operations for the Community Living Association of B.C., is axing a 20-year-old program that has people with disabilities working at the recycling depot under the supervision of support workers. Ms. Thiesen wants these disabled people to get “real jobs with real pay.” In British Columbia, we support our disabled people fairly well while they are still in the public education system. We give them one extra year of high school and then they graduate. Right when most parents are celebrating the beginning of a new, independent phase in the lives of their children, the parents of disabled people face the opposite situation. They have a 19-year-old on their hands with no prospect for a “real job with real pay.” Since most of the parents work, they may ﬁnd themselves in a very difﬁcult position as their child transitions out of the school system. As a volunteer with the Special Olympics aquatics program in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, I coach a number of disabled people who have been working at the recycling depot. Just like regular people, my athletes want to belong to the bigger world. They enjoy being challenged, experiencing success and feeling like they’ve made a valuable contribution. They enjoy each other’s companionship and acceptance. They enjoy being part of something special together. Thiesen says that the program at the recycling depot is part of an “old model,” but she doesn’t go on to tell us what the “new model” consists of.

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Richard Niesman sorts bottles at the recycling depot Monday afternoon. People with disabilities have been with us forever and their advocates have been creating opportunities to help them ﬁnd a place in the ‘big world’ for a very long time. Axing a program that has been running successfully for 20 years and has a waiting list of people wanting to get in is both mean-spirited and short-sighted, unless, of course, the “new model” has something better to offer these people. It all begs the question: which families is Christy Clark putting ﬁrst? Not the ones who have disabled people in them, it would seem. Mahatma Ghandi once made the following statement: “It is said that the worth of a society can be measured by the manner in which it treats its weakest member.” Paraphrased versions of it have been used by Sir Winston Churchill, Pope John Paul II and Harry Truman, among others. It

is a statement we should all be reﬂecting on as we see these disabled workers losing their jobs. ELIZABETH ROSENAU MAPLE RIDGE

They need support EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Funding reinstated for jobs program (The News, Sept. 14). People are all wound up about this story because it is making it look like the poor, vulnerable, handicapped people are being treated unfairly by government. While I certainly don’t agree with everything CLBC does, I really think, in this case, that our public funds shouldn’t be heavily subsidizing a business that should be able to make money to pay its own employees. If the work being done by these people with disabilities is work that the recycling depot needs to have done, then the depot should be paying the costs, not the government or CLBC.

Why do you need 28 people with disabilities all doing this same job? Simply because it’s easier for the support people to supervise in a large group than help each person get their own job that is appropriate and meaningful to them. I’m sure many of these folks could be out in their own jobs in various businesses in the community, not in a huge group with huge subsidies from the government. That is what supported work should look like. This is a sheltered workshop. If the business can’t afford to pay the wages to support its employees, it is not a viable position and, therefore, not real work, but work government is having to pay to keep going. People with disabilities don’t need government to make up jobs for them that look like real work. They need support to get out and actually find real work. C. ARNOLD NORTHERN, B.C.

The firefighters’ annual boot drive will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at grocery and liquor stores around the city. Muscular dystrophy is an inherited neuromuscular disorder that wastes and weakens the muscles.

All money raised will go towards purchasing mobility equipment, providing support services for people with MD, as well as to research for a cure.

CASCADES CASINO Vdovine not running again Where Langley Comes Alive!

by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter With municipal elections less than two months away, it is becoming clearer who will be running in the local school board election, and who will be sitting out. The first trustee to announce he will be stepping down is Stepan Vdovine, who has decided not to run for re-election to focus on other pursuits, namely establishing a career outside of an elected office. “There’s time for everything in life, now it is the time to move on,” said Vdovine. “I love doing it and I really enjoyed this term... but its time for the next phase of my life.” Vdovine said he is proud to have been a part of the board as it has made what he believes to be positive strides in the past three years. “The conflicts of the past are just that, they’re in the past,” he said. “That lets the staff focus on student learning.”

Vdovine, who lives in Vancouver, is by no means leaving politics for good, as he is currently the co-chair for the Vision Vancouver municipal political party’s executive board. The 26-year-old has served two terms on the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Board of Education, and at the time of his initial election in 2005, was one of the youngest elected politicians in the province. “I wanted to prove that young people can have a meaningful and effective voice, so I do feel satisﬁed about that,” he said. “I think I was somewhat naive when I ﬁrst ran, but I was tremendously thankful to have mentors like [former trustee] Nel Joostema.” Vdovine may not be the only departure from the board table, however. A trio of trustees say they are still undecided as to wether they will run for re-election. Long-time trustees Dave Rempel and Kathie Ward are both considering calling it quits, as is one-term trustee Mike Huber.

Three new files Cats from front To Soos, the decapitation looked clean like it was done with a sharp knife – there were no entrails on her lawn or blood to be found. Her suspicions were also echoed by a friend, a vet who looked at photographs of Mau’s head. Soos called police immediately after ﬁnding Mau and ofﬁcers were concerned enough to canvass the neighbourhood. Soos took Mau’s head to the SPCA shelter and was told a vet would look

at it over the weekend, but no one called her back. “This makes me angry. They made me think it was an animal,” she said. On Thursday, Ridge Meadows RCMP and the Maple Ridge SPCA issued an alert, warning cat owners and residents to be vigilant and report any suspicious persons or activity. Following the kitten death in July, Mounties received two other complaints – both ﬁled on Wednesday, Sept. 14. The ﬁrst involved the mutilation of two cats in mid-August on Meadow-

lark Drive, a street four blocks away from Soos’ home. A short while later, police received another report of a cat who was found butchered on its owner’s lawn near 232nd Street and 117th Avenue. The deaths have Mounties concerned because all the cats have been similarly disﬁgured. The serious crimes unit will most likely take charge of the ﬁle. “They are not far apart,” said a RCMP spokesperson. “One area of town has to be more vigilant and concerned than others.”

Police said a thorough investigation was conducted following the ﬁrst report of mutilation in July, but at that time “it was only one incident and one cat.” “Now we’ve got three other ﬁles involving three other cats,” the spokesperson noted. Animal mutilations, however, are hard to investigate. What we need is somebody who witnessed the event, said general manager of cruelty investigations for the B.C. SPCA.

most sheltered work programs were cancelled, mainly because of noncompliance with the Employment Standards Act, in which people were working for less than minimum wage. “The program in Maple Ridge is one of the few operating under that model,” he said. “What we’re saying is, if the organization wants to work with us, we’re willing to work with them to help them through that transition.” Otherwise, the $270,000 that Community Living now forwards to the recycling society for running the program will go directly to help the individuals who’ll lose their jobs in December. He said the changes aren’t a result of cuts from the provincial government to Community Living B.C. “There have been no reductions in our budget since we started in 2005.” Day said she was “optimistic and hopeful,” particularly with $9 million in funding announced Wednesday for Community Living, that “we can turn this around,” and noted people involved in other supported work programs in the province called to offer support. “We want to work together and come up with something that works for everyone.” However, she still hasn’t been informed directly by Community Living about any future meetings.

‘What kind of messages is this?’ CLBC from p14 Should the supported work program actually be cancelled, the recycling society can continue. “We have options that the society will look at if it doesn’t work.” She didn’t know if the loss of the supported workers would mean an increase in operating costs at the depot and pointed out the supported work program has extra costs that wouldn’t usually be incurred. Under the supported work program, after receiving training, developmentally disabled workers have gone to work as full-time employees at the depot or found jobs at other businesses. Woollard, however, wouldn’t comment on Community Living’s cut of $61,000 in funding for the support coordinator position at Maple RidgePitt Meadows Community Services. The supported volunteer program allows 28 developmentally disabled volunteers to help out with groups such as the Salvation Army or SPCA. Without the support coordinator to provide day-to-day help for the disabled, most will lose their volunteer positions.

Veteran’s Way approved

That drew the ire of the Canadian Union of Public Employees as a “poorly conceived costcutting move that only punishes society’s most vulnerable. “Pulling the rug out

from under these people is really unfair. It robs them of opportunities to engage with the larger community,” said CUPE 3941 president Charlene Linden. She says it’s part of a

disturbing trend that devalues community-based services for the disabled. “These clients really value the program, and don’t see it as a volunteer placement—it’s more like a job for them,” she says. “But most could not ﬁnd a job on their own, so what are they going to do now? Some of them are

older, and it’s difﬁcult to look for work. What kind of message is the government sending, by leaving them out in the cold?”

Watching for loss of independence L

ast week I suggested that the primary caregiver for most elderly people is, in fact, the spouse. It can also be both spouses to each other, if both of them are dealing with health issues. Without a doubt, that makes for complicated and stressful situations for the couple, and for their children. Although this is not the case for everyone, one of the biggest impediments to helping the elderly is simply their pride. No one wants to give up their independence, nor admit that they are losing the ability to care for themselves or handle their own affairs. In fact, resistance to such assertions can become quite heated, and relatives can be very conﬂicted about what to do. There is, after all, no ‘alarm system’ that goes off automatically when a speciﬁc point

in time arrives where caring for oneself tips a scale towards impossible. Just as we don’t notice the daily changes in our children that elicit from once-a-month visitors’ outbursts of, ‘Wow, you’ve really grown since I saw you last.’ neither do we notice subtle changes in our ourselves, or our spouses, that others might notice over a longer period of time: greater fragility in mobility; loss of coherence in conversation; loss of memory; weight/energy loss. All are examples of gradual changes that chip away at our ability to truly take care of ourselves, but on a dayto-day basis they may seem so gradual to us, and our spouses, that we deny the fact that we have passed some point of no return in our independence. Still, there is a point

when the ability to care and intervention. But I believe that is more for oneself, or one’s the exception than the spouse, or to mutually rule today care for each and, thus, we other, is so need to be compromised more vigilant as to be unsafe in communito the physical cating with or emotional our parents welfare of eiand looking ther or both.

Ultimately, the straw that broke the camel’s back was a decision taken by medical personnel in the hospital not to treat my father and to let nature take its course. Unable to advocate for themselves, it was obvious they needed greater support to get him out of the hospital and focus on his care at home. Neither of my parents view my current status of living with them as me being their caregiver. I am simply on an extended vacation because I recently retired. That view is just ﬁne with me as it provides them the support they need while assuring them they are still independent. Graham Hookey is an education and parenting writer (ghookey@yahoo.com).

High-tech homes are not so unusual anymore

Demystifying the technology terms Life is full of technological innovation, and your new home is no exception. For homeowners who keep up with the latest trends, that technology on the list of features your new home developer provides will be easily understood. But what if those terms are unfamiliar to you? One such term that is often sprinkled among the features is “pre-wired” or “roughed-in.” According to Lee Rente of Encore Security and Automation, this refers to a home that has already had wires run throughout it prior to the drywall being installed. These wires can be used for anything that a homeowner could need, from television to security systems. “The wires are where they need to be should the owner decide to get that option,”

Rente says. “If it wasn’t pre-wired, it would be time-consuming and could be expensive to run the wires.” The type of wire most often used in homes is called cat5e, another term that appears often on features lists. “Cat5 is the Swiss Army knife of wire. If you don’t know what to run, cat5 will do it for you,” says Rente. This type of wire can run everything from speakers to Internet, as long as the proper adapters are in place. The final term is “central vacuum.” Rente says that this refers to a centrally located vacuum system that includes a series of pipes throughout the walls that allow you to plug in a vacuum hose anywhere in the house. “No more lugging a canister!” he says.

Aragon going with the Flow at Port Royal by Kerry Vital

If you’re looking for a home with a view, Aragon’s Flow at Port Royal will be just the place for you. Situated directly on the river, homeowners will not only get a gorgeous view, but also great value for their money. “This is the best townhome you can possibly buy for the price,” says Aragon’s Director of Sales and Marketing David Wan. “There’s just no other product like it.” Built in Aragon’s Port Royal neighbourhood in Queensborough, Flow joins past projects Red Boat, Marmalade Sky and Regatta. This development, consisting of 30 homes ranging from 1,280 to 1,600 square feet, is located directly across from Port Royal Park and just steps away from a 1.7-kilometre riverfront walkway that encircles the property. Every home includes its own private roof deck, perfect for entertaining on the weekend or watching the sunset beside the fireplace, standard on every deck. “It is so tranquil and wide-open,” says Wan. “It’s just breathtaking.” Inside, the three-bedroom homes feature stunning gourmet kitchens, master suites on a separate floor from the other bedrooms, and an exposedbrick feature wall in most homes, which has become a trademark of Aragon. The open plan layout and top-ofthe-line GE Monogram appliances in the kitchen are just two of the things drawing people in to the display home. Hardwood flooring is included on the main level, while deep carpeting is standard on the bedroom levels. Never

I’ll have the keys waiting for you,” says Aragon Director of Sales and Marketing David Wan. again will your feet freeze as soon as they touch the floor in the morning! The kitchens are particularly impressive, and really give rise to the notion that the kitchen is the heart of the home. Each one features a builtin wall oven, and under-cabinet puck lighting that highlights the ceramic tile backsplash and double nosing granite or quartz countertops. One addition that is particularly beautiful are the built-in storage cabinets with glass inset doors and accent interior lighting. They are the farthest thing from utilitarian. The ensuite bathrooms are made for luxury. The separate shower stall includes a frameless glass door, mosaic tile flooring and a seating bench. The stone countertops are available in your choice of solid grey granite or light grey

and white travertine stone. “This is really a lifestyle product,” says Wan, adding “it’s an unbeatable lifestyle.” The exteriors are just as beautiful. Built with natural light in mind, Flow is built on a series of simple, elegant lines that showcase what Aragon calls a “modern work of art.” The entire Port Royal development is just minutes from Queensborough Landing, which includes Wal-Mart, several restaurants and other shops, and a range of services. Schools and recreation are also nearby. “I’d love to take you down there and show you the homes,” Wan says. “I’ll have the keys waiting for you.” Homes start at $475,900. For more information visit flowliving.ca or call 604-520-9890.

Celebrating the arrival of autumn A

utumn is by far my favourite season, mostly because I don’t have to wait so long in the line at Starbucks to get my ordinary cup of Joe, as the young hordes that are usually ahead of me (in need of those time-consuming, custom blended iced Gardening drinks) are back in Mike Lascelle school. Of course, there are other reasons to celebrate the arrival of fall – among them the cooler, more comfortable working weather, the welcome change in foliar colour and the beginning of the end of the lawn mowing drudgery. It is also time for me to remind you that autumn is the season to: • Buy those weird bulbs – I know it might seem a little early, but the spring bulbs have already arrived at your local garden centre. If you are just after a few tulips or daffodils to tuck in here or there, then you’ve got lots of time. But if you are looking for those hardto-find minor bulbs, new varieties or large-headed Allium (flowering onions), then you had better make your purchases soon and store them in a cool, dry place until you are ready to plant.

I know it might seem a little early, but the spring bulbs have already arrived at your local garden centre.

The reason being that many of these bulbs are either in high demand or short supply (or both), and they are often only on the shelf for about two weeks of the year before they are sold out. Alliums, in particular, are easy to overlook at this time of year, mostly because they are late spring to early summer blooming, and many of us expect to have to plant them in March. Such is not the case. So if you want to have those giant

(From left) Allium schubertii; a nicely trimmed chicken topiary, ready for winter; and a triple-planted Calluna bud bloomer. purple orbs of ‘Globemaster’ or the seemingly explosive blooms of Allium schubertii, then you had better do your shopping early. Also on the hard-to-get, sold-out-soon list: Galanthus, or snowdrops (especially the doubles when available); Eremurus, or foxtail lily; Leucojum, or summer snowflake; Eranthis, or winter aconite; blue hyacinths (common, but very popular) and any of the pink-cupped daffodils. • Trim the topiary – Even if you don’t own a topiary chicken, September is a good time to do a little light shearing to get those cedar hedges and shaped boxwoods into form before it gets too cold. This allows the newly exposed foliage to harden up before the frosts appear, lessening the likelihood of browned edges or wind-burned needles that you would have to look at for the rest of winter, or at least until the spring flush covers your ill-timed mistake. For those of you with real topiaries, it’s not a bad time to get out those Christmas (sorry, I know it’s a dirty word at this time of the year) mini-lights and get

them in place (after the trim), while the wires and your fingers are still pliable. • Check-out the bud bloomers – Bud bloomers are a class of Scotch heather, or Calluna vulgaris, whose blooms never open, but their buds retain the colour for months on end. Most flower from August to September, with those unopened blossoms persisting right into December. At first, even I was sceptical, so I did my own trial with a bud bloomer called ‘Veronique’ in a winter planter last year, thinking that if any colour was going to quickly brown out, it would be a white cultivar. Despite the high humidity and frequent overwatering, that little heather kept its pristine white buds right past Christmas, through to mid-January – that’s 4.5 months of seasonal colour in the worst of the wet and cold weather. You certainly won’t get that sort of longevity out of winter pansies or violas, at least not without a lot of deadheading. New this year are the mixed bud bloomers, with one grower planting three

This combination is really quite striking and it’s the perfect solution for a quick revamp of those tired planters by the front door. Another interesting new introduction is a gold-leaved cultivar with pure white buds called ‘Anouk’. This member of the Beauty Ladies series only grows to about 30 to 35 centimetres tall and would make a great eye-catching groundcover for those upcoming dull green days of winter.

Region will pay in congestion if plan defeated: group by J eff Nagel Black Press Metro Vancouver mayors are being urged to approve a twocent gas tax increase and work with the province to slap other new fees on motorists to ďŹ nance TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest expansion plan. The Sustainable Transportation Coalition, a group of planners and transportation advocates, says TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Moving Forward supplement must be approved for the long-term health of the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have to keep in mind the cost of not doing this,â&#x20AC;? said coalition spokesman Peter Ladner, a former Vancouver councillor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do they want to be waiting for three buses to pass them by before they can get a seat on a bus or have a system where they can count on getting to work on time?â&#x20AC;? The proposed revenue increases would raise an extra $700 million over 10 years, with $400 million to be TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of building the Evergreen Line to Coquitlam and $300 million earmarked for upgrades elsewhere, including express bus service in Surrey and along Highway 1 to Langley and more

CA third option, the coalition says, is to create a system of road pricing that charges all motorists something when they make any significant trip in the region. frequent SeaBus sailings. The gas tax lift would raise $40 million annually while $30 million a year would come from other sources to be negotiated with the province. The coalitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst preference for ďŹ lling in that blank is that the province turn over part of the next increase of the carbon tax, slated for July 2012. Its second choice is a vehicle levy, which is already permitted under TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislation and could vary according to a vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carbon footprint â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or perhaps other factors, such as the usability of local transit service. A third option, the coalition says, is to create a system of road pricing that charges all motorists something when they make any signiďŹ cant trip in the region, not

just when they cross a tolled bridge. Ladner said he believes road pricing will eventually be necessary and is smarter than a continuing policy of gradually rebuilding and then tolling bridges â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which has been denounced as unfair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just as people use buses and pay every time they use the system, why shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t people who drive cars pay every time they use the system?â&#x20AC;? he asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At that point, everybody should be paying a little bit.â&#x20AC;?

a politically challenging time to pass new tax increases, with B.C. fresh from the referendum defeat of the HST and headed into bigger deďŹ cits and a cloudier economic outlook. Area mayors vote on TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supplemental plan in early October, just weeks before most of them hope to be re-elected in November civic elections. The ďŹ nancing strategy had the support of a slim majority of mayors when they tentatively approved it this summer with transportation minister Blair Lekstrom, who pledged the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contentious and several mayors say they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support the proposal because it would force TransLink to raise property taxes as the backup funding source if no deal is reached with Victoria on other mechanisms. Ladner said the coalition also opposes higher property taxes and agreed itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x153;big gambleâ&#x20AC;? to trust that the provincial government will approve something else. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be wary of that if I were a mayor too,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think an even bigger gamble is not to do it and gamble the social and environmental future of the region on a seized-up transportation system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide more options for mobility, it will be more difficult to create business here, get employees to and from work and there will be more congestion. That comes at a huge cost.â&#x20AC;? TransLink is taking public input on the plan until Sept. 23. There are also public meetings on it Sept. 14 in Surrey and Sept. 15 in Coquitlam.

Dix wants student grants returned

NEWS with value. Always local, always free: mapleridgenews.com

VICTORIA – NDP leader Adrian Dix visited a college campus Monday to call on the B.C. government to reinstate the student grant program it canceled in 2004. B.C. was spending $80 million a year on grants to top up the federal-provincial student loan program, and an NDP government would reinstate a minimum tax on ﬁnancial institutions to fund $100 million worth of grants per year, Dix said. Dix acknowledged that his announcement was to have formed part of an election campaign prepared for this fall. With the next B.C. election now put off to May 2013, Dix encouraged Premier Christy Clark to adopt his policy now to relieve debt that he said now averages $27,000 for B.C. post-secondary grads. Clark is set to announce a job growth plan next week, with a series of announcements around the province culminating with a speech Sept. 22 to the Vancouver Board of Trade. That plan is expected to include employment training assistance. Dix made a similar promise when running for leadership of the B.C. NDP this spring. Monday he had few other details, which he said would have to be worked out with post-secondary institutions based on previous grant programs. “My own view is that being 10th in Canada in student grants, doubling tuition fees, and having the highest debt loads for students is not the direction we need to be going when we’re asking young people and needing young people to get access to the very education they need to ﬁll the jobs of the future,” Dix said. The B.C. Liberals say average tuition paid in B.C. last year was $4,802, fourth lowest in Canada, and average student debt is third lowest.

The RCMP media spokesman in Sparwood said that in 26 years of police work he has never seen or heard of a case ending like this. And, thankfully, they have tracked down and arrested the suspected abductor, hiding in an old mining cabin in southwest Alberta. There were several good things about this abduction case, not the least of which was to see hundreds of people rally together in support of the family and some from quite a distance away, who came to assist in the search for the boy. But to me, one of the best things was the response of Kienan’s parents, in that they immediately, upon his return, forgave the suspected abductor, showing an inner

The Bible records in the Gospels of the New Testament that one day Peter asked Jesus how many times a person should forgive another. Seven times?

Catch a glimpse of a mink By Liz Hancock

ometimes, on a quiet summer afternoon, you can catch a brown or black furry ﬁgure loping along the river path. The mink has established itself well in the Alouette River area. Both the black and brown North American mink were introduced here commercially as early as the 1930s, when the mink industry became established. Mink farming was big business back then, as fur collars, cuffs, coats and hats were a mark

of success, and farmbred Canadian mink were considered the best in the world. This practice continued here until the 1950s, when the last mink farm closed. The wild mink were also trapped for this market and a woman of fashion could have her choice of farmed or wild fur. Mink footprints are easy to spot. When running, they place their back feet directly over the print of their front ones as they move in a bounding motion. These ﬁve-toed, semi-

aquatic creatures are related to the weasel family, and it is difﬁcult to tell now who descended from those animals who escaped or were let go into the wild, or which are truly wild, as interbreeding between them was quickly established. Unfortunately, the poor mink is pray for many other species: owls, foxes, bobcats and domestic dogs, to name a few. So it relies on speed and sharp teeth for safety. Humans, too, can be a danger as no one wants their hen house

raided. If allowed to become too numerous, mink would quickly devastate the area of its favourite food, so legal trapping is allowed. The mink has a varied diet, ranging from birds eggs to frogs and a tasty salamander goes down well, if it can be caught. Foraging at night, these speedy predators have little trouble feeding themselves and the abundance of varied food in the area makes for a healthy mink population. It is rare for a daytime sighting, but if you see a quick black or brown ﬂash in the grasses by the river, you can bet it’s a mink.

Former Flame makes impact with Canucks Kellan Tochkin focused on moving up the development ladder by D a n K i nv i g staff reporter Vancouver Canucks prospect Kellan Tochkin is well aware that this preseason is a pivotal juncture in his career. The 20-year-old former Ridge Meadows Flame still has one more year of junior eligibility remaining, and he could be sent back to the Western Hockey League’s Medicine Hat Tigers, with whom he finished out last season. But this is also the first year Tochkin is eligible to turn pro in the Canucks’ minor league system, and that’s the goal he’s set for himself this fall. “Ideally, I’d love to be playing in Chicago [with the Wolves, Vancouver’s new AHL affiliate], but Medicine Hat is a great town,” Tochkin said during a few minutes of downtime during the Young Stars Tournament in Penticton on Monday. “They haven’t made it clear to me yet where I’m going. But obviously this is a huge, huge camp for me, especially with it being my 20-year-old year.” To that end, Tochkin put in a major sweat investment over the summer, making the drive to Vancouver to work out under the supervision of the Canucks’ staff. He also worked with a power skating coach – foot speed has always been the biggest knock on the supremely skilled forward. “Last summer was really good too – I lost a lot of weight,” said Tochkin, who is listed at five-foot-nine, 179 pounds. “This summer I maintained that, but I tried to put on a little bit of muscle. I gained about six or seven pretty good pounds. “Hopefully it’s really evident, the work I’ve put in this summer.” Tochkin was a scratch for the Canucks’ Young Stars tourney opener against the Edmonton Oilers prospects on Sunday, but he made the most of his opportunity to get into the lineup against the Calgary Flames on Monday.

Tochkin hoping to make jump to AHL Tochkin from p42 Tochkin opened the scoring at 2:26 of the first period, tipping a shot past Flames goalie Joni Ortio. In the third period, he was stopped by Ortio on a breakaway, but he was on the ice when Canucks teammate Nathan Longpre tied the game 3-3 with 15 seconds left in regulation. The Canucks went on to win 4-3 on Antoine Roussel’s goal in overtime, and in the aftermath, Tochkin’s play earned plaudits from new Chicago Wolves bench boss Craig MacTavish .
