Municipal politics

Purple worn in support of councillor Maple Ridge residents of various political stripes were wearing matching colours at Tuesday’s council meeting.

by Maria Rantanen

mrantanen@mrtimes.com

The public gallery of Maple Ridge council chambers had a purple hue on Tuesday night with some audience members wearing the colour to show their support for Councillor Corisa Bell.

Former school trustee Katherine Wagner was in the audience wearing purple to support Bell, who she said “is making a real effort to do politics in a different way.”

“She has a very populist approach and I think that’s what people are asking for,” Wagner said.

Maple Ridge resident Bob Goos said he was in

the audience “to support democracy and to support Corisa,” and “because of what’s going on in city hall.”

The show of support was meant to be a quiet event, Goos said, and no one asked questions or caused any disturbance.

The purple colour was inspired by the colour of Bell’s election signs, Goos said.

Bell has said she was “shocked” when a video recording of a council committee meeting was pulled off the District website after a comment she made was deemed “serious” by legal counsel.

This came on the heels of Bell making a complaint about a remark that the District’s chief administrator made to her.

Wagner pointed out that those who came out to support Bell were from different political stripes, for example, herself who is a “small-c” conservative and Goos who belongs to the NDP.

RCMP probe ongoing The investigation into an accident involving a 17-year-old boy and an RCMP cruiser on the Lougheed Highway in Maple Ridge last month is continuing.

The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. is involved because it’s an officerrelated incident, and the injury meets the organization’s definition of serious harm, said Kellie Kilpatrick, IIO’s executive director of public accountability.

Ridge bridge replaced As of July 16, the bridge over the North Alouette River on 232nd Street will be closed.

The old wooden bridge will be dismantled and a new steel bridge will be built in its place.

Ernie Daykin The bridge will be closed for Maple Ridge Mayor six months, and the construction project will cost $4.75 million. “The current wooden bridge is almost 70 years old and has reached the end of its life and its replacement is at the top of our priority list,” said Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin.

Volunteers set mood The Maple Ridge Caribbean Festival takes the efforts of many volunteers like Trinidadian DJ Carl Nicholas.

by Ronda Payne editorial@mrtimes.com

Organizers are putting the finishing touches on this weekend’s Maple Ridge Caribbean Festival with the final concern being the least controllable – the weather.

“I am looking forward to it,” said DJ Carl Nicholas of Carl Sound Vibes. “I’m only concerned about the weather.”

Hailing from Trinidad, Nicholas moved to Canada 39 years ago and has been involved with this Maple Ridge festival since its inception.

“I started in 2000 when we started [the festival],” he said. “The next year I was asked to help out with entertainment.”

He has been an important asset to entertainment organizer Deddy Geese ever since.

“He definitely knows his stuff,” Geese noted.

With a background in steel band, Nicholas brings a variety of connections to the festival.

“I’ve been a DJ and have been involved in a steel band since I came here over 30 some years ago,” he said. “I’ve connected with most of the bands, DJs, societies, organizations of the Caribbean here... I have the connections I can recommend.”

Nicholas is also a part of the North Vancouver Caribbean Festival, so he brings the 20-plus years of experience from that event to the Maple Ridge festival.

He is one of the nearly 90 members of the volunteer team that have made the Maple Ridge celebration the anticipated community event it has become.

“We’ve been setting up all year,” said Ineke Boekhorst of the organizing committee. “[We] will be setting up [in the park] on Friday night, which is a first, but it [used to get] so blocked up.”

The festival has been built by volunteer efforts through its 13 years.

“It’s 1,500 hours altogether,” Boekhorst said. “It’s a lot of volunteer hours.

We try to gather new people around us every year... we need those volunteers, they really are the basis of everything.”

While some volunteers, like Nicholas, get a small honorarium for their participation, Boekhorst commented it doesn’t come close to covering the amount of time they put in to the success of the event.

Others, like this

year’s brand new volunteer coordinator, Suzanne Drost, take part to simply be involved in the community.

“It’s just been really nice,” Drost noted.

“I’ve met some great people. Many of them have been volunteers since the onset of the festival.”

There is a small core group of volunteers who come back year after year to help out, Boekhorst said.

“Five or 10 come back every year,” she commented. “They just want to be part of the event. They love the music.”

Of course the organizing committee is a solid, long-term group as well with Boekhorst and Geese both saying how hard everyone works to ensure the festival comes together.

“It’s amazing how it comes together every year,” Boekhorst said. “There are quite a few people in our town that are so generous as our volunteers.”

Although Nicholas doesn’t live in the community, he resides close by in Port Coquitam. His home base, however, has no impact on how much he loves the festival that takes place in Maple Ridge.

“The ambience is so nice there [at the festival],” he said. “Everybody is so close together. Those days it’s like one, everybody is the same.”

His culture is important as well and Nicholas brings that to the festival with him.

“I think culture is important for everybody,” he said. “When you live some place you’re part of that place... when you move, you take part of it with you.

This is one of the things the festival does for the Caribbean community. It exposes us to other communities.”

If the enthusiasm of the organizers is any indication, everyone will enjoy being in the Caribbean frame of mind Saturday and Sunday.

“I’m looking forward to the great atmosphere, the fantastic food, happy people,” Drost said.

Former Trinidad resident Carl Nicholas, of Carl Sound Vibes, brings music and connections to the Maple Ridge Caribbean Festival.

Music, entertainment, and more await at this weekend’s Maple Ridge Caribbean Festival.

Community event

Festival not just about the music Maple Ridge comes alive with sights and sounds of the Caribbean this weekend.

by Ronda Payne

editorial@mrtimes.com

Wondering what the Maple Ridge Caribbean Festival is all about?

While it is based on music, there are plenty of other things to do on site at Memorial Peace Park and 224th Street this weekend.

An expanded kidszone will include a special kids stage with Zumba, a kids steel band, and more. Facepainting, rides, and vendors will also be on hand in this family-friendly area, explained Ineke Boekhorst, a member of the event’s organizing committee.

More than 60 open-air street vendors will be on hand in the park. Shop while taking in the sounds of reggae, steelband, salsa, ska, and other great music from noon to 9 p.m. on Saturday and 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Sunday.

The smells of authentic Caribbean food typically fills the air with numerous food vendors bringing tasty treats for attendees to buy and try. Plus, guests can look for street entertainers doing tricks and special impromptu performances throughout the weekend.

“We have people who have told us they moved here because of the Caribbean Festival,” Boekhorst said.

Of course, while there is plenty to do, the music does take centre stage whether visitors shop, sit and relax, or are visiting the kids area.

Stage highlights include performances by Mostly Marley, the Tropitonics, a limbo act by Kingfish Limbo, and Steele backed by Natural Flavas at 6 p.m. on Sunday evening. For a rocking Saturday night, people can come out at 7 p.m. to see Barracuda, the Heart tribute band.

Now in its 13th year, Maple Ridge’s Caribbean Festival is a “great, family-environment” in downtown Maple Ridge, Boekhorst said.

Animal welfare

Too hot for dogs in cars

BBQ SEASON

Firefighters were called to a Pitt Meadows parking lot for a dog in an unattended car.

4 STEAKS FOR ONLY

by Ronda Payne editorial@mrtimes.com

Summer is no time to leave a dog in a car.

One owner found this out when Pitt Meadows firefighters were called to the Meadowtown Shopping Centre around 7:30 p.m.

Monday evening.

According to Pitt Meadows assistant fire chief Brad Perrie, the dog’s owner was running an errand and left the dog in the car. Firefighters were called, but by the time they arrived on scene, the owner had returned to the car and let the dog out.

“It turned out to be nothing, but it’s a good reminder,” Perrie said, a good reminder of how to take care of the animals that rely on their humans to keep them safe.

“When it feels warm outside, just don’t do it,” said Jennifer York, branch manager of the Maple Ridge SPCA about taking dogs places where a stop will be involved.

No amount of time is safe to leave an animal in a hot car, even if the window’s left open a crack, according to the SPCA. “Or make sure there is someone else who can hold the dog outside the car.”

Fortunately, Monday’s incident turned out well, but as both Perrie and York noted, it doesn’t take long for a car to get hot.

“Some people think we’re being extreme,” York said. “But people think things [like running an errand] don’t take as long as they do. Try it. You sit inside your car [on a warm day] with the windows cracked an inch for ten minutes and see how it feels. I think most people would pass out.”

Dogs are safer at home, York commented, even

those who might have separation anxiety.

“It takes less that 10 minutes for a dog to pass away in a car,” she said.

Even on the cooler days of spring, summer, and fall, temperatures inside a car rise quickly.

“Really, no amount of time is safe,” York noted.

“If you absolutely have to stop with your dog in the car, roll the windows down half way – not just an inch – park in the shade, and have something cold for the dog. Like a nice cold bowl of water.”

Keep your best friend safe. Leave them at home, not in the car, York suggested.

BCIT to offer marketing courses

Park plan discussed

Maple Ridge Library will host some post-secondary courses.

A park brainstorming session was held by council.

by Maria Rantanen

mrantanen@mrtimes.com

Sandy Blue, with Maple Ridge’s economic development office, held up her cellphone during a press conference at the Maple Ridge Library on Tuesday afternoon, broadcasting the voice of BCIT’s Joe Freeburn.

Freeburn was stuck in traffic but still wanted to be part of the event to announce that BCIT would be offering three marketing courses in Maple Ridge starting in September as part of the BCIT School of Business Entrepreneurship Associate Certificate Program.

This course offering by the Burnabybased polytechnic, pointed out Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin, will provide students the “bonus of not having to travel to Burnaby or Vancouver” to attend these courses.

“Maple Ridge council has made post-secondary education one of our strategic focus areas because we see the connection with a healthy economy and empowerment of citizens with education,” Daykin said.

He added that this is a “great example” of collaboration and relationships.

Freeburn, who is the associate dean of marketing management with BCIT, told The TIMES that if things go well, he hopes to offer other programs in Maple Ridge in the future.

“This is a little test to see how it goes,” he said.

This is the first time the institution has partnered with a municipality to offer pro-

Pitt Meadows council is considering what to do with a lot on Bonson Road.

A variety of groups have been asking the City of Pitt Meadows what it plans to do with a wetland area on Bonson Road that currently houses a community garden. At Tuesday’s committee meeting, council had an information and brainstorming session on possible uses for the area at Airport Way Deb Walters and Bonson Pitt Meadows Mayor Road.

“I love the idea of keeping it as natural as possible – enhancing the trails,” said Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters.

There will be public consultation on what should be done.

However, there’s no money for the park yet, Walters added.

Sandy Blue held a press conference on Tuesday where BCIT announced its intention to offer business courses in Maple Ridge.

the courses that BCIT is providing.

“Our Centre4Growth services are delivered in the same facility which will mean that aspiring entrepreneurs as well as established tech companies can take advantage of both the BCIT programs as well as the acceleration services that we provide,” Tam said.

The courses that BCIT will offer are Essentials of Marketing, Relationship Selling, and Small Business Development.

The evening courses will be offered in the library’s Fraser Room, which will need to be refurbished, and in District of Maple Ridge rooms in the business tower.

For information on the BCIT programs, contact Ashley Ianni at 604-432-8611 or Ashley_Ianni@bcit.ca.

grams, Freeburn said.

“This we hope will be the first of many,” he said.

Bill Tam, president and CEO of the B.C. Technology Industry Association, which recently opened the Centre4Growth in Maple Ridge, said the technology sector has only one per cent unemployment.

The challenge is to find talent and capacity to make the technology sector grow, he said, adding that B.C. has the most startups in the country.

“We are the entrepreneurial heartland of the country,” Tam said.

Now that BCIT has opened a facility in Maple Ridge, the Centre4Growth will be working with BCIT and the District to augment the programming they provide with

Elaine Yamamoto is looking forward to having book bins around town to get people reading.

Literacy

Bins will let public read

Wooden boxes will be placed around town with books for all ages.

by Maria Rantanen mrantanen@mrtimes.com

The literacy committee is looking for places to leave books for anyone to read.

Carpentry students at Samuel Robertson Technical School built 10 book bins that will be filled with books for all ages and left in public spaces.

Elaine Yamamoto, literacy outreach facilitator with the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows-Katzie Community Literacy Committee, is currently looking for places where people typically have to sit and wait, where the book-filled bins can be placed.

This might be at a laundromat or a Service BC office, or a coffee shop, she said.

The books can be taken out of the bin, read on site, or even taken home and returned later to the bin or to another bin in the community.

“The goal is to get people reading,” Yamamoto said.

The book bins were paid for by money from the Raise-A-Reader program – a one-

day event where money is collected from commuters in exchange for a newspaper.

Raise-A-Reader funds also helped to pay for some of the books, while some of the books were donated.

The library also helped the book bin project by ordering some books through their system, lowering the cost by 40 per cent.

“It made our dollars go a lot further,” Yamamoto said.

The books that will be found in the bins are for all different ages and reading levels.

Yamamoto said some businesses might be worried that if they have a book bin, they will need to keep an eye on the books. But, she said, that’s not the case.

“The businesses that are hosting the book bins are not responsible for the book bins,” she explained. Rather, there will be volunteers who will restock the bins regularly.

In addition to possible locations, the literacy committee is looking for donations of good quality, gently used children’s books that can be placed in the bins.

Anyone interested in having a bin placed in an office or business can contact Elaine Yamamoto at facilitator@communityliteracy.ca or 604-721-3738.

Democracy ‘alive and well’

...continued from page A1

Wagner counted about 50 people in the audience who were wearing purple or purple ribbons to support Bell, but Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin estimated it to have been closer to 20 to 30.

The fact people can come to support someone politically is “the beauty of democracy,” Daykin added. “That’s one of the great things about Canada.”

However, the mayor added, he thinks all of council is “asking questions and expressing opinions.”

Many files that get passed by Maple Ridge council are looked at four to six times, Daykin said.

“So, it’s not like things are being rubber-stamped without council or other folks asking questions,” he added. “I try to give folks lots of latitude [in discus-

sions].”

At Maple Ridge council, there are no limits on how many questions can be asked or for how long someone can talk, Daykin said.

Everyone on council asks tough questions and challenges staff, he elaborated.

Daykin said he thinks democracy is “alive and well and doing great” at the Maple Ridge council table, and he said he wouldn’t be part of it, if it wasn’t.

But it’s not perfect, he added.

“I would be really, really encouraged if [at] every council meeting those chambers were full because people want to see what’s going on and how we do business...” Daykin said.

“Anything that makes me evaluate how I’m doing is a good thing,” the mayor concluded.

Free-spirited teen has lifelong love for dance

It’s been a busy summer for a Peggy Peat School of Dance student, who scored a role in the Sportactular show at the PNE.

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@mrtimes.com

Emma Stewart is happiest when she’s moving to music.

And since she was a toddler, she’s been moving quite a lot.

“I’ve been dancing since I was about three,” 17year-old Stewart said.

Years of practice have paid off – she’s already made it onto both the small and silver screens.

The Maple Ridge teen can be seen dancing in the Marianas Trench music video Stutter and in an Emily Carr film Artistic Vision.

The last few months have been a whirlwind.

Last Christmas, Stewart was chosen to be part of a jazz dance crew called “Body” created by Christie Lee Manning, who hand-picked her favourite dancers throughout the Lower Mainland to be part of this group.

“Body” danced at a handful of entertainment events from January to April of this year.

It was a fruitful spring for Stewart.

She took part in The Times of India Film Awards

(TOIFA), dancing a number for Tourism BC, choreographed by Liz Tookey.

Through PRP Productions, she has also had the opportunity of dancing at the 99th Grey Cup halftime show, Whitecaps opening ceremonies, 2010 Paralympic opening ceremonies, and Rick Hansen’s Concert for Hero’s 25th Anniversary.

Stewart performed at the opening and closing ceremonies of Skills Canada, and also earned the nod as the provincial stage representative at the PAC West Festival of Dance.

She was provincial stage runner-up for both jazz and lyrical forms at the Surrey Festival of Dance.

“Princess Jubilation.”

Stewart padded her summer 2012 resume by shuffling her feet in a dinosaur costume in her summer gig as a mascot at Dinotown in Cloverdale.

“It was a cast of four people,” she said. “We had a routine, it was about 20 minutes long.

It was a storyline. Princess Jubilation [at the PNE] was more full-out dancing than Dinotown.”

Before the PNE gets underway, Stewart is off to Los Angeles to attend an eight-day dance intensive training called “The Next Step.”

“Beside dancing the whole time, they’ll be learning all about how and what to do to break into the professional dance industry,” her mom Shelley explained.

Stewart started doing highland dancing at four, following the lead of her mom.

“From five [years old] till 10 I did highland dance,” she said.

“Then I quit that and I started doing jazz and other stuff like tap and song and dance.”

She said the highland style helped build the foundation,

All this, along with several scholarships at both festivals.

In May, Stewart performed jazz and lyrical solos at the 2013 Provincial Festival of Performing Arts BC at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre.

“It was my first time experiencing it all, so I didn’t get into the top three, but that’s my goal for next year,” Stewart said.

Also in May, she successfully auditioned for the role of performer/dancer in the upcoming “Sportactular” show taking place during the PNE next month.

She’s quite familiar with the PNE stage, having danced on it last summer for the show

shaping her into the dancer she is today.

“I loved it,” Stewart said. “It gave me a lot of strength that I have now. I feel it helped me with my jazz. But I lost interest in it.”

“She didn’t actually start jazz and lyrical until she was 10 years old,” Shelley added. “And a year later she realized that this style of dance suited her free-spirited personality much better than highland and now she can’t get enough dance, and would like to pursue dance as a career.”

Stewart admitted that Highland dancing “was kind of containing my personality.”

Her style of choice is contemporary because it allows her to explore what she describes as

Fitness

Spry seniors inspire fellow gym members There’s no slowing down two of the ‘regulars’ at Fitness Unlimited.

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@mrtimes.com

The colloquialism “Old Boys Club” usually has a rather negative connotation, but this isn’t the case at Fitness Unlimited.

Sam Lanzarotta, 95, and Faval Preena, 76, are just two of a few male members at the Maple Ridge Gym who are in their golden years.

Lanzarotta, father of three (his oldest son is 65), grandfather of three, and stepgrandfather of two, including pop sensation Carly Rae Jepson, lifts weights three days a week, for about an hour and 15 minutes each session at Fitness Unlimited.

“I do all sorts of machines, here – bench press, leg exercises…,” the trim Lanzarotta said. “I started when I was 71 out of this gym, here.”

Preena, father of two, ages 41 and 36, with two young grandchildren, also lifts weights four to five times each week at the gym at 20629 119th Ave. Preena said he began working out at Fitness Unlimited in the late 1970s.

“I do mostly strength training exercises, but I also do some walking on the treadmill,” he said, adding that he has had to alter his workouts as the years went by.

“I used to do heavy weights, now I don’t,” he added So why spend so much time at the gym?

“There’s always another day and you have to fill it,” Lanzarotta said, laughing

Faval Preena (right), 76, offered encouragement to 95-year-old Sam Lanzarotta during a recent workout at Fitness Unlimited in Maple Ridge. heartily. “I enjoy doing it. I feel so much better when I finish a workout.”

Regular exercise may not extend a person’s years, Lanzarotta explained, but it will make them more enjoyable.

“You might not live longer, but you will have a better quality of life,” he said.

Preena said working out “keeps me alive and makes me mobile. It gives me quality of life.”

Whenever he visits the local seniors’ centre, Preena promotes exercise to fellow patrons.

For his part, Lanzarotta said staying healthy and active gives him freedom and independence.

“I’m still working out, I go for walks, I do my own shopping, I look after my own house,” he said. “I don’t take any medication of any kind – no heart pill, no blood pressure pill, nothing. It’s not that I don’t want to take it, I don’t need it.”

A former recreational hockey player, Lanzarotta stepped away from the sport when he was in his 30s, because his country had called for his services.

“It was the Second World War – I

was in the army,” he recalled. “I was in Sicily, Italy, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany.”

He served from 1942 to ’45.

Preena, too, was involved in sports, including soccer, cricket, tennis, and badminton.

“That kept me going,” he said.

Fitness Unlimited membership coordinator Sue Merlo said Lanzarotta and Preena are an inspiration to fellow gym patrons.

“We talk about them every day,” Merlo said. “I think it’s a very social gym.

Getting out and talking to people every day is important to your mental health, as well. That you’ve got somewhere to go, somewhere where you can talk to somebody.”

“I have a number of people come up to me and say, ‘Sam, you can’t quit; you’re our inspiration here,” Lanzarotta added. “[They say], ‘We keep coming because you’re here.’”

Adding to this are the tangible benefits of exercise.

“Obviously doing strength training helps with bones, muscles, and energy,” Merlo said.

“The more people work out, the more energy they have. A lot of people have this idea that they’re too tired to work out, but I think these guys will tell you that their day starts off with a workout and it gives them more energy throughout the day.”

Lanzarotta admits there are days he doesn’t have the desire to work out: “But I get up and go anyway,” he said. “Then you start working out and you feel better.”

Preena said the camaraderie, “the group of guys here,” at Fitness Unlimited draws him to the gym.

Our View

Give thanks for festivities It’s a lot of hard work. It’s a lot of fun. And it translates into an important statement for the community, both economically and culturally.

Summer is the time for festivals – the weather is right, and spirits are about as high as they can get in our mostly dismal West Coast climate. It’s the perfect time for the Maple Ridge Caribbean Festival.

With kids fresh out of school – not yet having had time to get bored in the summer doldrums – the Caribbean Festival is a great time to celebrate not only the music and joy of living in a great place like Maple Ridge, but to celebrate Scan this family. page with And as is rightly pointed out by Ineke Boekhorst, one of the event’s chief organizers – and a founding member of the group that brings the festivities to life each year – family atmosphere is precisely what the festival is about.

There are plenty of fun activities planned for the community’s youngsters in the kids’ zone, from facepainting to Zumba – keeping in mind that dancing in the streets is not just for the young, but for the young at heart as well.

Food, as usual, will span a range of tastes and proclivities. The festival atmosphere should give participants the impetus they need to try new things, to enjoy a variety of new flavours, to experience something outside of the usual experience.

The whole idea of a Caribbean Festival in Maple Ridge can only make sense in the heart of summer – in the heat of July – indeed, it gives our summer heat heart! It brings the taste of sunshine to life in the cacophony of colour that will pervade the streets throughout the weekend.

The best way to thank the organizers of this tremendous affair is to get out and enjoy the fruits of their labour.

Local government serious business Dear Editor,

I am tempted to start with a riff on your web poll’s responses at www. mrtimes.com: The TIMES needs to grow up.

Characterizing our local politicians and staff as immature takes away from the seriousness of how the desire to base decisions on complete information, com-

munications difficulties, and difference of opinion are worked out in our local government.

The task before our municipal politicians is not an easy one, and requires support of the community rather than its derision.

Volunteers

Festival built on hard work

Dear Editor, Each great success story is created by individuals with creativity and dedication. This also applies to the Maple Ridge Caribbean Festival Committee, made up of volunteers who give countless hours of their time to provide Maple Ridge and its citizens with one of the most popular summer festivals on the Scenic 7 Drive (north of the Fraser River).

Recognition should be given to Debi Pearce and Ineke Boekhorst, the cofounders of this great festival, and to other members Martyn Garner, Jessica Norman, Adela Patoni, Gloria Fox, Suzanne Drost, Kim Boekhorst, and Peter Chan.

The committee is extending an invitation to the whole community to come out this weekend and enjoy yet another festival of great sights and sounds.

Bell has support

Dear Editor,

We have been reading the comments about Councillor Bell’s dilemma.

It appears she has a lot of support from the community, as she does from us.

It takes a lot of guts to stand alone. The problem with this council is some of them have been in too long and are too complacent; they forget how they got there and why. They were elected by the people for the people.

Just Saying

Gordy biased

Dear Editor, I was a bit taken aback by Mr. Robson’s column about the chamber of commerce [Membership no longer holds appeal, June 25 Just Saying, TIMES].

I understand that he longs for the nostalgia of the “good old days,” but I, myself, welcome change and have seen tremendous growth in the past three years at the chamber.

In all the events I have attended, and through dealing with the chamber, I have seen a group working to support businesses in Maple Ridge and beyond.

These people volunteer many hours and believe in the c hamber of B.C. His biased opinion will only hurt any business that could benefit from the many networking and educational functions for these owners.

Every time there is a municipal election, the voter turnout gets less and less, but the BS gets louder and louder.

If this community wants change, wants shopping, wants lower taxes, wants transportation, and wants a future plan to put Maple Ridge on the map and to be respected and attract money and business, then the residents here have to get out and vote on election day and have a voice, or nothing will ever change.

We need new blood and new ideas, and people to run who care about the future of this municipality, and are not there for the money, the glory, or for their own agenda. We need intelligence, honesty, and transparency in all our governments, but let’s start at home.

Asking questions part of democracy

Dear Editor,

Was Corisa Bell’s problem perhaps that she did not keep up to what’s now gone down?

Nobody on that council can be permitted to say she asks too many questions. That is what she is supposed to be doing/ When the statement was made that she asked too many questions, I ask: what are they trying to hide?

A democratic government is supposed to be transparent. Sad to say, none of them are.

Democracy is a very difficult form of government, but for all that, all the others are a form of dictatorship.

Politicians paid for dog and pony show

Dear Editor,

What is really going on with our elected and the administration in our dog-and-pony-show town? One week we hear the taxpayers are going to sue the former mayor for having goats on his golf course, and now we have a new councillor up against certain blah blah blah.

And just recently, we are running out of industrial land.

More air-clearing explanations invited Dear Editor,

I’d like to thank Ernie Daykin for taking the time to “clear the air” on a recent issue [Mayor defends council operation, July 4 Letters, TIMES].

While we’re “clearing the air,” I request that our mayor provide a detailed, comprehensive, and acceptable explanation as to why the citizens of Maple Ridge have heard for years on end that mayor and council will address our lack of shopping in comparison to our large and growing population, while absolutely nothing is accomplished.

I think it’s time for mayor and council to stand up and be counted for their inaction and aimless drifting on the matter.

How many times have we heard that something is in the works?

How much more unmotivated hot air do we have to listen to before something is actually done?

Enough studies, debates, and drifting, let’s get a plan in place and execute! A team of circus monkeys could have had more accomplished by now.

The days are long with shimmering heat waves rising from the asphalt, but Maple Ridge firefighters are coming to the rescue with fun, safety information, and cool activities.

“We get to interact with the public,” Juurakko said.

On Thursday nights throughout July and August – after 6:30 p.m. – fire crews will arrive in local neighbourhoods. Some of them are pre-set while others are a surprise.

“People say, ‘do this here, do this here’, in their neighbourhood,” Juurakko noted of the popularity of the program.

There aren’t many chances to get out, have fun, and interact with local firefighters. Through Hot Summer Nights, residents can get to know them better and understand the important safety messages they have to share, the assistant chief explained.

The program has been so successful, other departments in the province have started similar events, and Juurakko has spoken in other provinces about the fun evenings.

Maple Ridge’s North Avenue was turned into a race course recently as about a dozen kids participated in an annual soap box race. Beckett Evans, age eight, won a certificate and “Speed Demon” medal. Beckett also won “Coolest Car,” which is due to the building efforts of Myles McKinnon.

e all know what normal means, don’t we?

During an economic downturn, writers of financial columns talk about the unusual circumstances and forecast a return to normal.

In wartime, people look forward to when hostilities cease and the world gets back to normal.

When we use the word normal we may be thinking quite restrictively. To say that some act or behaviour of another is not normal means we are comparing it with what we consider is normal. We have become judge and jury.

While this is regrettable, it is not surprising, because the word normal comes from the Latin for a carpenter’s square, a rule, or pattern.

For a long time, to be normal was to follow the rules religiously, to conform and never deviate from the pattern. It has only been during the last 100 years or so that normal has become a softer, more general term for the usual state or condition of things.

So what is normal and what does it really mean to get back to it? I suspect that there are as many meanings for the word as there are readers of The TIMES; what is normal to one may seem far from normal to another.

I think we all have an idea of what it means, because, like many words, it’s been knocking around all our lives.

We all would like to think that we are normal.

Bullies work their destructive way with people by calling them weird or odd or, worst of all, abnormal. That can be a nasty word suggesting deviation from what is expected and accepted, and it separates us from the society to which we wish to belong, whether at work, at play, or at school.

What do normal people do on Saturday night? What music do normal people listen to? What do normal men and women eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or supper?

Do normal people even eat breakfast? How many times do normal people brush their teeth every day?

We don’t know, do we? Shakespeare didn’t know either – he never used the word.

I mean, you are normal, aren’t you? But it is unlikely that you will eat and drink and work and play exactly like your neighbour, let alone someone in the next town or province. What is normal for you is what is normal for you. That is all you can say with any certainty.

One of the ways society tries to find out what is normal is to conduct surveys. A large number of people are asked selected questions about their habits and behaviour, from which the surveyors come up with percentages and averages, but if you were not included, what does the survey say about you?

This may seem a somewhat frivolous matter to be writing a column about, but there is an underlying seriousness to the whole idea of being normal, especially in a country like Canada where many of us come from different places with varied backgrounds and beliefs and behave in our daily lives in ways different from our neighbours.

Canadians have long celebrated these differences and have cherished a freedom from interference in our daily lives not known in all parts of the world, but there is a growing threat to this freedom by those who believe they have the right to decide for us, and we must be careful to ensure that the simple word normal, with its current meanings of usual, natural, regular, and customary, does not once again come to be used in its former, much more restrictive and authoritative sense.

She had her picture taken holding a copy of her hometown newspaper, The TIMES, next to the pools, which mark the site of the World Trade Centre twin towers that were destroyed in an attack on Sept. 11, 2001. In the meantime (left), Desiree Choquette and the Madeiros cousins, Brad, Nick, Cassidy, Reece and Carter – all from Maple Ridge – recently spent a couple of weeks in Bermuda, where they, too, posed for a photograph with The TIMES.

Summer fun

Kids learn survival techniques Volunteers needed

ARMS staff is promising a “crazy fun time” during its summer programs.

Kids aged eight to 13 can take part in summer camps put on by ARMS.

July 22-26, July 29-Aug. 2, Aug. 19-23 ARMS has volunteer opportunities for camp counsellors. Full training and support will be provided and an honorarium will be given to those who can do both July camps back to back. Criminal record checks are required for counsellors 19 and older. Call 604-467-6401 or email education@alouetteriver.org for more information.

Kids can learn to use a compass and tie knots this summer at a popular summer camp put on by the Alouette River Management Society (ARMS).

Week one from July 22 to 26 is already full with limited space left in week two, which runs from July 29 to Aug. 2.

Nicole Driedger, ARMS education coordinator, said staff are busy planning some great outdoor activities for kids during the week-long camp and she is confident that kids will have “a crazy fun time.”

Driedger explained that at the Survivor: Amazing Race Camps, children from eight to 13 years old will be placed in teams where they will receive their team’s colour, flags, and names.

They will get to spend each day of the camps in Allco Park competing in challenges for beads, won by

showing team spirit, winning challenges, playing honourably, and by displaying other good sportsmanship attributes.

All participants will learn how to use a GPS, compass, tie different knots and lashing techniques, and other survival skills during the daily challenges.

There will be no voting off, but lots of voting for, Driedger said.

“Facepaint, wearing team colours, playing hard, and having fun are all important to us here at Survivor: the Amazing Race, located at Allco Park,” she said.

A nature camp is also scheduled from Aug. 19 to 23.

To sign up for the camps, call 604-467-6401. For information about ARMS, go to www.alouetteriver.org.

Summer harvest

July garden offers Five Golden Rules bring best food to table labour’s first fruits S

H

arvesting is usually July’s top occupation in the garden – and the first pickings often include garlic scapes – the stalks and bulbil heads that sprout from hard neck garlic – and if you pick them immediately as they form, they’re sweetly pungent and tenderly crisp.

They can be fried or used in dips, soups, or pasta sauce. It is important to get to them quickly, because they get stringy later – and they should be removed whether you eat them or not.

If they’re not picked, the garlic plant develops tiny bulbs in the scapes, stealing energy from the garlic cloves, which end up smaller than normal.

Potatoes that were missed in last year’s harvest are sometimes left to grow on. These should be flowering

by Anne Marrison about now and are a Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden great source of early questions. Send them to amarrison@shaw.ca potatoes. In many gardens, some of this crop is not found either – and the cycle continues.

After an early July harvest, gardeners can be left with the bare garden area needed to plant garlic and/ or shallots in October. Some leafy green vegetables, such as baron corn salad, giant red mustard, and arugula will fit into a quick-crop time frame.

An alternative could be a cover crop such as buckwheat or oats. Both enrich the soil and deter weeds.

But you should dig it in or cut it down before it goes to seed.

A bare summer bed can be a good place for battling weeds by allowing them to grow, then hoeing them down while they’re still small and young. An alternative, if we have a long, dry hot spell, could be solarization under clear plastic for six weeks.

In preparing for summer drought, it can be helpful to plant seedlings in slight depressions in the soil, so water collects around the roots.

If you’ve already planted seedlings normally, a lightplastic container with the bottom cut out can be plunged around the plant so that water is held inside and seeps down to the roots. It’s a lot of work to cut the containers, but they last several years before getting brittle.

For plants that need the Cadillac treatment, a copper slug tape around the container gives extra protection.

This is also the season to gather and dry herbs on a sunny day when there’s absolutely no moisture on the leaves. They can be dried out in the sunshine and taken in at night, or dried in a slow oven. Some people do microwave drying.

The old-fashioned method of herb bunches hanging in kitchens looks quite charming, but they do tend to collect dust and spiders webs. So bunches are really best hanging upside down in a paper bag that is very snugly fastened.

There are a number of edible things, such as dandelions, sorrel, chickweed, and lambs quarters, that are trouble if they’re encouraged around a vegetable bed.

But it’s hard to have too much dill or parsley, since they have so many uses.

Once you’ve let one or two dill or parsley plants go to seed and dry, you can scatter as much as you wish.

Dill and parsley also attract hordes of beneficial pollinating insects, and this benefits other plants in the garden, as well.

In the Garden

ummertime is here, and chances are outdoor barbecue grilling will play a part in bringing food to the table this season.

A few ground rules may help enhance your overall grilling experience and quality of food.

Rule 1 – Never Clean Your Grill.

Grill, in this case, means the cooking grates/grids themselves.

The buildup of fallen food debris captured in the basin of the barbecue itself does need to be cleaned out periodically, to prevent grease fires and to extend the life of the shell of your outdoor grill: those particles will collect moisture and eventually lead to deterioration. The grates/grids, however, should not be removed and scrubbed in the sink with a scouring pad.

The only “cleaning” should be with a wire barbecue brush. That will help build a non-stick surface, much like a cast iron frying pan.

At the end of your cooking process, turn off the gas and let your barbecue cool as you normally would, then pack it away. When preparing for the next cookout, preheat your grill over high heat, which will turn the residual cooked-on food to char, easily knocked off with a good brushing.

Rule 2 – Always Preheat.

Ensuring your grill is extremely hot will not only burn off any residual food bits, it will also guarantee great crust formation (and grill lines) on

On Cooking

your food. Cooking food on a grill is all about the flavour. The crusting is the caramelizing of natural sugars to create flavour.

It is for this same reason that we don’t boil steaks; boiling steaks in water still cooks the meat, but leaves it extremely lacking in flavour and texture.

Rule 3 – Oil The Meat.

Oiling the meat in advance will not only help enhance the crusting process (and the resulting increase in flavour), it will assist in creating a non-stick environment. I always oil the meat before seasoning with salt and pepper, just prior to going onto a preheated grill.

Rule 4 – Oil The Grates/Grids.

As well as oiling the meat, this will help in flavour creation and ease of release.

Both oiling procedures should be done with an oil that has a high smoke point. This is not an application for your extra virgin olive oil.

Grapeseed oil would be perfect, but a canola or vegetable oil will work fine.

Oil the grates/grids once they have been preheated. Protect your hand with a grill mitt, dab some oil on a cloth, and quickly but efficiently wipe down the hot grills. Be careful not to have the cloth soaking with oil to the point that would cause flare-ups. A light coating of oil will work fine.

Practise the same procedure when cooking in a stainless steel (not nonstick) pan: preheat the pan first, then add the oil, then the food.

Rule 5 – Leave It Alone.

Once the above four rules have been followed and the meat has been placed on the grill, the worst thing to do is to prematurely break the contact between meat and grill.

Even following the above rules religiously, the meat will stick… at first. Leaving it alone allows it to create a crust (grill marks), helping to release it from the cooking surface. If you are following the rules above and your meat is stuck to the grill, chances are it is trying to tell you that it is not ready to be flipped yet.

Although there are other important things to remember about outdoor grilling, these are the ground rules that should apply in all situations.

Selects roll to Provincial A Cup win Maple Ridge-based West Coast Auto Group won the Provincial A Cup U13 boys title in Langley.

West Coast Auto Groups Selects player Jordan Loyst dribbled the ball between two Kamloops defenders during Provincial A Cup U13 boys soccer action Saturday at Willoughby Community Park in Langley. West Coast edged Kamloops 2-0.

Troy Landreville/TIMES

A U13 boys soccer team from Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows garnered a provincial title south of the Fraser River last weekend.

The West Coast Auto Group Selects, coached by Jason Symons along with Chris and Brian Peat won convincingly, 5-2, over Surrey/Guildford United in Sunday’s final.

In doing so, they captured the BC Soccer Provincial A Cup competition at Langley’s Willoughby Community Park.

The Provincial A Cup victory marked a first for any Ridge Meadows/Mission area team in the past 11 years.

West Coast dominated the first half with a big possession advantage and tenacious defensive ball pressure.

McKenzie Begg opened the scoring with a 40-yard shot that eluded the Surrey ’keeper and rewarded the team for an excellent start to the match.

West Coast kept up the pressure and Andrew Peat took over from there, scoring his first two of four goals to give West Coast a 3-0 cushion entering the break.

“Famous clubs such as FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich are both great examples of non-profit organizations taking things to the next level,” Begg said.

Hot rod vet relives restoring prize-winning roadster

by Alyn Edwards

Alyn Edwards/Special To The TIMES

Special to The TIMES

Veteran hot rod builder Gary Lang contemplates the 1923 Model T Ford roadster hot rod he started building in 1966, that is now sitting in front of him.

“It’s a real thrill to see the car restored to look the way it did back then,” the Pitt Meadows resident said.

“To have a car like this survive all these years and be put back in this condition with all the detail is amazing.”

T-bucket roadsters became popular with hot rodders in the 1950s.

They turned two-seater bucketshaped bodies of Ford Model T roadsters into radically customized and hopped-up street racers.

The craze was fed by the famous Kookie Kar driven by character Gerald (Kookie) Cookson in the popular TV show 77 Sunset Strip.

After catching the T-bucket bug, Lang sold his customized 1947 Ford Tudor sedan, owned since he was 15 years old.

A pattern maker by trade, he handcrafted a tubular chassis with independent front and rear torsion bar suspension and

Original T-bucket hot rod builder Gary Lang (left) of Pitt Meadows, posed with current owner Don Haber.

Lang sold the car to Haber in the early 1970s and it had been in storage for decades before its recent restoration.

Lang (inset) stood with his current hot rod – a steelbodied 1932 Ford that was a Southern California-based roadster in the 1950s. installed a 289-cubic-inch, V-8 engine and transmission from a nearly new Ford.

An American-built fibreglass body was modified to tilt up from the rear revealing the highly polished and chromed mechanical parts.

Lang made the patterns for the finned air cleaner and custom valve covers that were cast in solid bronze.

He handcarved the teak dashboard highlighted by the reclining figure of a beautiful woman.

The project took two-and-a-half years to complete.

His distinctive T-bucket, with its maple-leaf-shaped convertible top rear window, was

named Revolution when it made its debut at the 1969 PNE Motorama. It stole the show and was subsequently recognized as one of the most remarkable and best engineered, custom cars built up to that time.

Awards included first in class, best engineering and the muchcoveted People’s Choice trophy.

The car went on to take all the top awards at its next show in Seattle, including hot rod sweepstakes.

Then Lang drove the car to Lodi, Calif., for the Hot Rod Nationals and took the best engineered car award over several hundred competitors.

After showing the car for five

years, Lang sold his internationally acclaimed hot rod to childhood friend Don Haber so he could buy his first house.

Haber drove the car for a few years until he, too, got into home ownership. The car was left in the garage as his marine supply business required him to travel the world. The car would remain unused in storage for 40 years.

In 2011, Haber had life-changing triple bypass heart surgery and realized it was time to do something with the old hot rod.

He engaged the services of hot rod fabricator Brad Purser of DelBrayd Speed and Style to restore the hot rod at Haber’s home in Aldergrove.

Ironically, Purser had worked for Gary Lang, the hot rod’s original builder, at United Pattern.

“I had known about this car my whole life because my dad knew Gary,” Purser said.

Through the past year, every part of the venerable hot rod has been restored and reassembled using stainless fasteners and plumbing.

The engine compartment wiring has been cleverly hidden and other improvements made to make the T-bucket a contemporary hot rod.

It is remarkable that the Tbucket hot rod retains its original black paint and striping done in the late 1960s by well known local artist Boots Olsen.

Haber’s restored hot rod, that has only had two owners, debuted at the Pacific National Exhibition 44 years ago, and was unveiled again on June 22 during a new Vancouver Collector Car Show at the PNE grounds.

“This really goes with our intention to bring the great custom and hot rod shows back to the PNE coupled with hundreds of collector cars and more than 100 collector vehicles to be auctioned,” show producer Jason Heard said.

“This car also fit with our theme presentation of 100 years of cars in Vancouver.”
