Councillors defend FCM hotel costs $501 each for three nights while attending convention

by Ph i l M e lnych uk staff reporter

Despite the furore over hotels costs at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities convention last weekend in Vancouver, local politicians say it’s money well spent, for a busy few days.

Masse Coun.

Bob Masse defended his attendance on CKNW Monday, adding on Tuesday that the all-day conferences and the receptions that run late into the evening made it worthwhile staying over at the Renaissance Vancouver Harbourside Hotel.

“There was a lot of good conversation. We kept the expenditures to a minimum and, in my view, it was money well spent.”

Masse provided a copy of his bill for his three-night stay at the Renaissance, a total tab of $501. All the meals for the weekend were included in the $770 FCM conference fee.

“Theoretically, for sure, you could have stayed until 11 o’clock at night, then got in your car and driven home, then back in time for the meeting to start at 7 a.m. the next morning.”

But that would have incurred all-day parking charges, he pointed out.

Masse said that councillors often attend meetings and pay for them out of their own pocket. Maple Ridge councillors get an annual $5,000 allowance for such conferences.

If spouses come along, councilllors pay for them separately.

He said it does get tiresome to hear said in the media that all politicians are crooks or liars.

RCMP are concerned that more and more youth of elementary school age are “sexting.”

Kids and private exchanges I S tor y by Monisha Mar tins

t began as an innocuous preteen crush, the kind that was commemorated in the past with long, hand-written letters, filled with stickers of hearts, sparkles and angst-filled poetry.

These days, the love notes are more succinct, sent in the form of a text, or expressed visually with intimate photographs.

For a 13-year-old girl, in her final year of elementary school, they were a private exchange

between her and her first boyfriend.

A few months later, he had shared her photographs at school. She soon became the school “slut,” whispered about in the classroom, the subject of a post and comments from strangers on a gossip site.

Getting the photos back was impossible.

Sending naked or semi-naked photos of yourself – “sexting” – is common among teens and pre-teens in Canada.

“I wouldn’t do it,” says Chastity Gillis, a Grade 8 student at Garibaldi secondary in Maple Ridge, “but there are some people who do at school. It’s to get attention or they think it’s cool. I think some parents know, but most don’t.”

To date, there have been no published stud-

ies examining how many Canadian teens have used their cellphones to send or receive nude photos.

A recent U.S. study revealed one-third of teens had sent a ‘sext.’

The high-tech form of flirting is alarming both police and school administrators, who are struggling to find a way to stop it as victims get younger – in Maple Ridge, one girl was nine.

Ridge Meadows RCMP are investigating multiple cases where children have taken nude photos and sent them to individuals they have met online through social media websites. In some cases, the child was coerced into sending the images, while others exchanged photos with casual, online acquaintances.

‘We are closing doors as parents’ Private from front

Gillis, 14, lists a litany of sites she and friends use to communicate: KIK Messenger, SnapChat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter.

She’s careful, however, about the photos she posts to the sites and wary of friend requests from strangers.

“I’m careful because of what happened to Amanda Todd,” she says.

“I don’t want that happening.”

Todd’s story is perhaps the most high-profile example of the consequences of sharing an intimate moment online with a stranger.

In Grade 7, Todd, who grew up in Maple Ridge and Coquitlam, “flashed” a boy while chatting with him online. The screen capture of that indiscretion was soon used to blackmail her into sending more photographs. When she refused, he shared the first photo with her classmates.

Unable to cope with almost two years of bullying online and at school, Todd took her own life last October, a month after she told her story to the world in a heart-breaking video posted on YouTube.

It’s since been viewed more than 22 million times.

Being i-Smart A parent of three teenagers, Cpl. Alanna Dunlop tried to keep up with most trends.

It was three years ago she’s began to hear whispers about the kinds of photos their classmates were sharing.

As a school liaison officer with Ridge Meadows

• Sexual exploitation has been less visible in the streets but exploded online in recent years.

• 49 per cent of teens that post photos online report being contacted by a stranger.

• One in 10 youth gave personal information to stranger.

• One in five youth aged 10-17 years have been solicited sexually online.

• Seventy-five per cent of youth who’ve received an online sexual solicitation did not tell a parent.

• Over a five year period, child pornography related offences in Canada have increased over 900 per cent. Canada ranks No. 2 in the world for hosting child sexual images online.

– Children of the Street Society

Parent controls

Sexting at age nine As an officer with the Ridge Meadows RCMP serious crimes unit, Cpl. Aaron Lloyd is surprised by the recent increase in complaints from parents and concerned residents who’ve stumbled upon revealing online posts.

Until a few years ago, the word “sexting” did not exist.

“What is surprising to us is the types of photographs and the age of those involved,” says Lloyd.

“We have very young people being directed to do very sexually explicit things and they are acting out those requests via a video message or photographs, sending them to people they don’t know.

That’s alarming. It’s happening at such a young age.”

By young, Lloyd means girls and boys aged six, seven and eight. Sexting is no longer an activity restricted to curious pre-teens and teens.

A recent case involved a girl who was nine.

“Out of fear, we are seeing children doing more and more things,” says Lloyd.

Sharing a naked picture of a minor, even if she’s your girlfriend or he’s your boyfriend, is a criminal offense. It means you are distributing child pornography.

Though there have been few success with charging and prosecuting offenders, Lloyd notes most cases don’t result in criminal charges.

“At the end of the day, we have to try and determine who they are engaging in a conversation with,” he explains.

“It is often very difficult to put somebody at the other end of the computer.”

In fact, police rather not see a situation escalate to a criminal investigation.

In the past, parents saw the outside world as a threat. Today, it’s more likely the threat’s in your child’s bedroom, lurking behind a computer screen or smart phone.

“The Internet has opened it up to everybody across the world,” says Lloyd.

“It is easy for people to pose as somebody else.”

Once a photograph or video is shared, Lloyd admits there’s not much police can do. Parents can ask social networks to remove content, but it’s often an arduous process.

“At that point, it’s too late, your child has been exposed to a variety of things,” says Lloyd.

“That’s why we want to put the onus on parents and parenting. It’s up to parents to monitor their children. You would monitor who your children visit. You wouldn’t let them take off across town and let them run wild. You wouldn’t let them go on a road trip with strangers. So you should not let them have access to the Internet unsupervised.”

Exploitation

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Cpl. Alanna Dunlop holds brochures that are available about safety on the Internet; youth sharing intimate images of themselves is a growing concern.

RCMP, Dunlop pays close attention to what students are telling her. This year’s she’s learned about a few new website: Ask.fm, a site students say is rife with bullying, and theCHIVE, another place to anonymous post photos and video.

“I think we are the last to know as adults. They are existing in a world of their own.”

Dunlop and her team of youth resource officers have stepped up presentations about Internet safety in schools and are increasingly targeting students at the elementary level.

When Dunlop asks a classroom if they’ve heard about “sexting” or sharing nude photos with strangers online, most of their hands go up.

When she asks if their parents know, she gets responses from barely a handful.

“It’s a huge concern for us to get the parents to understand what their kids are doing online,” says Dunlop.

Even after three years of hammering home the messages in schools, Dunlop hasn’t seen much of a change.

“With the hands not going up in classes, I’m concerned,” she says.

Diane Sowden isn’t surprised.

As the executive director of Children of the Street Society, a Coquitlam-based non-profit that raises awareness about the sexual exploitation of children and youth, Sowden can’t keep up with the demand from schools asking her to deliver workshops.

The society’s latest campaign called “Just One Photo” features the story of a young girl who shared a private photo online with someone she trusted. Her tale highlights the increasing power new technology has in the distribution of poten-

tially harmful content.

During the school year from April to October, Children of the Street delivered workshops on online safety to 894 students in Maple Ridge and 300 in Pitt Meadows.

Out of the 21 elementary school in the district, only seven were lucky enough to book Sowden’s team of youth presenters. There’s a four-month long waiting list for their workshops and they already booked for next year.

“We are not keeping up. The education tools are there. But to be honest, the funding isn’t there to support the demand,” says Sowden, whose organization operates without core funding from the province and must apply annually for grants.

Sowden is constantly updating workshops to tailor them to what kids are using today and delivering the workshops to much younger audience.

“This year for the first time we are going into elementary school – Grade 5 and Grade 4. Our experience is the parents don’t realize what their youth and children are able to get into,” says Sowden.

At one school, Sowden’s team heard about a drug dealer who was giving teenage girls crack cocaine as a reward for watching them make-out.

But most often, she hears about boys and girls who’ve shared intimate photos or video with someone who they’ve dated.

“It’s not just the person you are sending it to, but who else has access to that.”

Diane Sowden, executive director of Children of the Street Society “Once it’s out there, they have absolutely no control,” says Sowden, noting one instance where the photos were found by a brother who thought it would be funny to share it with his friends.

“It’s not just the person you are sending it to, but who else has access to that.”

The three most common answers students give when asked if they talk to their parents about sexting are: my parents knows nothing about technology; my parents wouldn’t be comfortable talking about sexual exploitation; and the number one answer is – if I tell them, they will take away my phone or computer.

“So we are closing doors as parents, when it comes to having our youth talk about things,” says Sowden.

“The things is not to take away technology but teach them how to use it and how to supervise that technology use.”

RCMP recommend that parents monitor their children’s online behaviour: • Have access to your children’s accounts. Their behaviour will be modified if they believe you are watching. This is not spying, it is parenting.

• Install Parental Monitoring software on your computer devices to help block inappropriate content.

• Ensure your child’s profile on any social media site is set to “private.” This will ensure only people who are “allowed” to see their posted photographs.

• Do not allow your child to have friends or contacts that they do not know personally.

Most child internet predators will pose as females or males in their peer group in order to build rapport.

• Disable “Geotagging” on any camera or device used by your child to post photographs.

Information contained in Geotagged photographs can aid an Internet predator in identifying your child’s home address and school.

• Discuss what photographs you will allow your child to post and monitor them.

This not only pertains to the provocative nature of the photographs, but clothing and backgrounds in the photograph that could identify your child’s home address and school.

• Do not allow your child to use social media applications, like KIK, that do not have privacy or parental controls. Social media applications like KIK lack the transparency, regulation and controls needed to keep your children and teenagers safe.

Car Care with Cyril Barry

THE COOLANT SYSTEM

Well it’s summer time, and that brings the coolant system to most vehicle owners attention, especially those thinking of packing up their duds and moving on down the road with their family, in search of that perfect summer vacation.

The basic coolant system consists of a radiator, fan, hoses, thermostat, the engine and its coolant, and last but not least the radiator cap and overflow bottle. Most people are familiar with the radiator and the overflow bottle and that they need antifreeze so the engine does not freeze in the winter cold weather. While this is true, in the lower mainland we might get 2-3 weeks of weather cold enough to freeze our engine coolant, per year. This is referred to as freeze point protection, ie. my antifreeze is good to -30F. A 50% mix of antifreeze to water will also protect your engine from overheating while driving or idling in hot weather, which we seem to get about 10 weeks of or more. Adding antifreeze raises the boiling temperature of your engine coolant. Therefore if you run straight water without antifreeze your engine will overheat in hot weather, sooner than the same engine with the proper mix of antifreeze and water. This means that without antifreeze in your coolant system, you will likely overheat your engine in traffic on a hot day in August with the AC on. So as you can see it’s probably more important to have antifreeze in your engine’s coolant system in the summer around here, than it is in the winter.

In the past, up to the turn of the century, radiators were made out of metal components and soldered together. This allowed for simple repairs to minor leaks, and for the most part radiators would last about half the life of the engine. Nowadays radiators are half the size as they used to be and there made out of aluminum and plastic, crimped together at the factory and they’re no longer simple or easy to repair. By design these new radiators are far more efficient and compact, but the reality is they’re overworked and cheaply made, which means they require far more attention and/or replacement. Every second year of driving you must have your coolant system tuned up: a complete system flush with a thermostat renewal and a through inspection of the entire coolant system by a certified auto technician. Someone who knows how the coolant system works and interacts with the computer controlled engine management system. That’s right boys and girls! Your coolant system is an integral part of your computer-controlled car, there is a lot more going on with it than most people are aware of.

Remember when you’re driving down the road and you see a sign on the back window of the car ahead that reads ‘L’ or ‘N’, that means they are new drivers. Be kind and give them some room, we all had to learn once too.

Politicians careful about spending public money Local MP supports more transparency

by P hil Mel nyc hu k staff reporter

The public’s appetite for more accountability is growing and politicians are seeing the writing on the wall.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau wants both MPs and Senators to regularly publish (every three months) their travel and hospitality expenses so they’re easily accessed from the Parliament of Canada website.

Trudeau’s not getting any argument from the local Conservative MP. Randy Kamp said he and many on Parliament Hill support the idea.

Cabinet ministers and parliamentary secretaries already publish

their travel and hospitality expenses, Kamp said Wednesday from Ottawa.

“Applying these same kind of rules to MPs – I’d be OK with that.

“From what I’ve heard from my colleagues, we’d clearly support that.”

Kamp, though, wants that direction to come from the Board of Internal Economy, which sets the rules for MPs. All parties are represented in that group, so any could suggest such changes.

Kamp said expense claims for Senators have largely been done on the honour system. However, since the scandal involving former Conservative Senator Mike Duffy, those rules are now being tightened, such as requiring senators to keep receipts and mileage logs.

“They’ve never had to

do that before.”

MPs already have to account for their expenditures, which are monitored by House of Commons staff.

“They’re pretty rigourous in going over whatever we submit.”

The Senate scandal is driving the changes, Kamp said.

“Times are changing.

People want to know that their tax dollars being spent responsibly.”

In B.C., newly elected Green party MLA Andrew Weaver has said he’ll do the same thing by publishing his expenses on the Green party website.

Weaver is also challenging Liberal and New Democrat MLAs to do the same.

Rookie Liberal MLA Doug Bing (Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows), though, has his doubts.

It sounds like a bit of grandstanding by a

newcomer to the process from the Green party, Bing added.

“He’s obviously throwing out a challenge to everybody else.”

Does the public want that information, Bing asked.

“It makes us all a bunch of bookkeepers.”

He thinks it might get tiresome to keep track of coffee cup charges or paper clips.

“On the other hand, the public has a right to know what people are spending their money on.”

He said the auditor general is supposed to be monitoring MLA expenses.

Many MLA expenses are already published after changes in the last few years, said Liberal Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Marc Dalton.

“I don’t get reimbursed unless there’s a receipt.

Everything is receipted.”

Dalton said B.C.’s system is more stringent than in Ottawa, adding that MLAs have a fixed budget of about $119,000 yearly for staff and office.

“It’s a pretty tight budget.”

MLA’s expenses (travel, per diem and constituency allowance) have been public for the past year and a half, broken into categories, though not individually itemized, while new software in the next year will allow publicizing of MLA office expenses.

“This is all new. This is all in the past two years that we’ve taken a couple measures ... as far as accountability and public disclosure.”

Cabinet ministers expenses are already public.

“It’s taxpayer’s money and I think that needs to be seen as being handled well. It’s important.”

Local Liberal legislators in transition, with hopes Cabinet position a ‘possibility’: Dalton

by P hil Mel nyc hu k staff reporter

The big announcements for B.C. take place today at Canada Place, where Premier Christy Clark names her team.

Local MLA Marc Dalton will be there, if not to get named to a cabinet post, then to serve in any way he’s asked.

Dalton, who just won his second term as MLA

for Maple Ridge-Mission, will be at the 2 p.m. ceremony at Canada Place, along with other Lower Mainland MLAs. He was named parliamentary secretary for independent schools, when Clark shuffled her cabinet in September.

Greater things could lay ahead for Dalton.

He hasn’t been told to expect a cabinet position, but “down the road there’s a possibility, if not now.

“No matter which way, there’s lots to do.”

If he remains a back-

bencher, Dalton wants to keep working with Maple Ridge and Mission on economic development and transportation, and the Experience the Fraser project, which foresees a recreational trail on the Fraser River from Vancouver to Hope.

“There’s a lot of new faces, a lot of experience, a lot of depth in the caucus. That’s good for the running of British Columbia.”

Clark has indicated the B.C. legislature will be recalled this summer, so the government can pass

I want to go to

its pre-election budget.

Meanwhile, Doug Bing, rookie MLA for Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows, has spoken with Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters and said that he’d be seeking an unpaid leave of absence from council for the rest of the year.

But he still could return to vote on key items, such as the city budget.

Bing has been on council for three terms, before winning the riding for the Liberals in the May 14 election.

Taking a leave of absence doesn’t mean he’ll be completely excluded from council, leaving the remaining six on council mostly divided along NDP and Liberal party lines.

Bing said he may come back to council for some issues.

“There are certain areas that have been controversial in the past,” such as the budget.

He said it’s possible he may return in the fall to vote on that.

Bing is still looking for a location for a constituency office. He’s using former NDP MLA Michael Sather’s old furniture, but hasn’t yet found a building. It will be somewhere in west Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadows.

Ridge Meadows RCMP Const. Ryan Steele hopped on a skateboard at Pitt Meadow’s Harris Road Park on Saturday after being challenged by a boy.

Ridge Mountie pic goes viral Taken during Pitt Meadows Day

by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

Dressed in red serge and donning a Stetson, Const. Ryan Steele had no trouble carving the bowl at Harris Road Park on Saturday.

The Ridge Meadows RCMP officer stopped to chat with a group of kids after marching with a troop of Mounties on Pitt Meadows Day. When one of the boys slid his skateboard over and challenged Steele to ride, he graciously accepted.

“From what I’ve heard, he’s is a pretty good skateboarder,” said Insp. Dave Fleugel, the acting officer in charge of Ridge Meadows RCMP. “He didn’t even scuff his boots.”

Const. Steele’s feat was captured on camera by the husband of another Ridge Meadows RCMP officer.

“He didn’t even know he was being photographed,” said Fleugel.

The photo was tweeted by E-Division’s media team and soon went viral online.

Fleugel said it’s the first time the twitter handle @bcRCMP has trended in Canada.

If you want to see a Mountie decked out in red serge this summer, visit Pitt Meadows or Maple Ridge.

The detachment will have officers dressed in the iconic Canadian uniform on patrol every weekend.

“The red serge is the perfect ice-breaker for people,” says Fleugel.

“They feel really comfortable coming up to an officer in red serge. We take hundreds of pictures with tourists throughout the summer. So much of a police officer’s life is catching the bad guy and dealing with people in crisis, so when you see people who are waving at you and want to take your picture, it’s a feel-good thing for the police too.”

The Ridge Meadows detachment has no plans to start a skateboard patrol in Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadows but is contemplating putting its officers on two-wheel electric Segways.

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

Time of restraint Three Maple Ridge councillors and the mayor of Pitt Meadows stayed in hotel rooms paid for by taxpayers while attending last weekend’s annual Federation of Canadian Municipalities convention in Vancouver.

Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin also attended the convention, but did not stay at a hotel, instead driving home each evening to attend other municipal functions.

Municipal politicians from around the Lower Mainland were criticized of being wasteful for staying in what some consider luxury hotels, paid out of the public purse.

The Maple Ridge councillors stayed at the Renaissance Vancouver Harbourside Hotel. Their rooms were $135 a night; $501 for three days each; $1,503 all told.

The conference fee was $770 each, but that’s not at issue.

It’s the $1,500 hotel bill, which is a good portion of an average municipal tax bill for most.

While peanuts compared to the district’s multimillion-dollar annual budget, it’s still a lot of money to some. And an unnecessary expense to others – a perk that should no longer be extended given the never-ending annual tax increases of three per cent or more, and amid claims by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business that municipal spending is out of control.

The conference began with breakfast, covered in the conference fee, each day at 7 a.m. After seminars all day and an evening reception, the conference wrapped up each night by 11, according the Maple Ridge Coun. Robert Masse, one of the three who stayed at the hotel. He would have had to pay more for gas and parking, out of his own pocket, had he not, and defended his decision to do so.

We don’t disagree that the conference was beneficial to attend, for the seminars and networking, nor dispute having the fee covered by taxpayers.

But in times of restraint, when politicians tell taxpayers that they can’t cut anymore, how can they not see that spending our money on hotel rooms just 45 minutes from home is hypocritical?

At home and at work in recent years, many have had to learn to do more with less.

We’re asking our municipal politicians to do the same.

hands.

This, I remember. What I can’t remember is where I hid them.

The rack loosened over winter. One bar shifted. Parker wasn’t happy with it in the first place. Now, he was irritable.

I could tell. He’s always started right away. Lately, it takes two turns of his ignition.

I didn’t mention any of this to Mark.

I just told him I couldn’t unlock the rack. Mark didn’t know me, but I said I’d shopped at Canadian Tire since it opened. The store still sold sports racks. Could we see if the keys in a package worked in my locks?

Mark made eye contact all the while.

He seemed to feel my discomfort.

“Let’s talk to Megan in Parts,” he said right away.

A minute later, Megan extracted a pair of keys from a new roof rack just like mine.

“Jack’s car’s in the parking lot,” said Mark. “See if they work.”

They did.

“Great,” said Mark. “Let’s make Jack a new set ... at no cost, of course.”

“I’m afraid we can’t, Mark,“ the girl who made keys reported. “They’re coded. Probably have to go to the manufacturer.”

Mark had gone out of his way to help me. I’d have understood if he’d just said, “Wish we’d been more helpful.”

“Jack,” he said, instead, as he held the keys out to me. “A locksmith can cut you a key. Get a set made, then bring mine back.”

Should Canada abolish the Senate?

Yes: 84% – No: 16% (59 votes)

Megan turned to Mark and rolled her eyes as I took the keys from Mark’s hand.

“Thanks,” I said, promising to be back with Mark’s keys before closing time.

“It might work,” Gary, at Bell Locksmith told me. “A lot of roof racks are keyed alike,” It took him a couple of tries – “tinkering,” he called it – before the new set finally worked.

Mark had gone out of his way to help me. I’d have understood if he’d just said, “Wish we’d been more helpful.”

He’d made a couple of trips to my car to be sure.

On the way back to Canadian Tire, I did a little drum roll on Parker’s steering wheel.

“Relief ’s on the way, buddy,” I assured him.

Megan seemed even more surprised this time.

“You came back,” she exclaimed.

“Of course,” I replied. “Didn’t I say I would?”

A few days later, I thanked Mark, personally.

We learned more about each other then. We’re both fishermen, for example. Mark told me about the time he told a local angler he took a moment to chat to, that he’d run out of salmon roe.

“The next day,” recalls Mark, “ the man handed a clerk a bag of roe. This is for Mark,” he said.

Maple Ridge is bigger than Mayberry, but when you meet business folks like Mark and Gary who treat you like a neighbor, it feels like a small town.

I like that. I think Mark does to.

“I had a rusty old Ford 150 pick-up that I loved,” he told me after his fishing story. “My wife didn’t like it, but I wanted to keep that truck for as long as I could. Would have, but I blew the head gasket.”

I recalled the premature end of cars I’d befriended, and felt empathy for Mark.

Adlerian psychologist Rudolf Dreikurs (Children, the Challenge) calls that the ability to “see with the eyes of another, feel with the heart of another, and hear with the ears of another.”

“Mark,” I said, “there are people who become so fond of their cars they think of them as friends; even give them names.”

“I know,” replied Mark. “There’s a word for them. I just read it in an article. It’s anthro ... something.”

“Anthropomorphists,” I suggested. “I might actually have written that one.”

online comments Live in harmony • Melissa Orobko · Simon Fraser University: Re: Albion bears may have to be killed (mapleridgenews.com).

This is going to keep happening as we extend our living spaces further and further into their habitat. The behaviour of bears coming into communities to find food makes sense from an evolutionary perspective, since they will get more energy than the non-venturing bears, and will thus have higher survival chances.

The only way to stop this behaviour is to give them no reason to come into our communities.

We need to brainstorm, as a community, the best way to achieve this. No garbage can be left outside – heavily fine people who do, or offer an alternative of bear-proof garbage cans, perhaps at a subsidized cost. Solutions like this must be found and they must be quickly enacted, or we will continue to see bears be put down in communities close to forests. Most of us are nature-lovers here in Maple Ridge – surely we can all work together to come up with solutions that enable us to live in harmony with nature instead of in conflict.

Bear things • Madeline Margaret: Re: Albion bears may have to be killed (mapleridgenews.com).

Sweet Jesus ... there is a bear ... at least one bear ... on the earth ... doing bear things.

Being animals • Cal Mitchell · Works at Uvic: Re: Albion bears may have to be killed (mapleridgenews.com).

www.mapleridgenews.com - THE NEWS -- Friday, June 7, 2013 -- 7

This is hardly a surprise given how much development has gone down in Albion. Living in east Maple Ridge for the majority of my life, growing up there, I’ve seen the area get repeatedly torn down and ripped up for more and more townhouses, when we haven’t even the schools or the businesses to accommodate the exploding population. Whenever I come home, I recognize the place less and less. If you put animals in this type of situation, they’re going to adapt to it, and it’s incredibly upsetting that the animals I spent my childhood next-door to are possibly going to be destroyed for doing nothing other than being animals. Really heart-sickening.

Enforce fines • Aaron Reynaldos · Business Systems Senior Advisor at Dell: Re: Albion bears may have to be killed (mapleridgenews.com).

Before deciding on trapping and killing the bears, the [municipality] should actually be enforcing the fines. We’ve heard many times from our friends that their neighbours continuously leave their garbage outside, unsecured, and the bears are having a feast on it.

If Maple Ridge actually made an effort to enforce the bylaws, this situation wouldn’t happen in the first place. But I guess it is easier to trap and kill the bears than to actually send and official to apply the bylaws when the problem is detected.

Continued sprawl • Jackie Chow · Maple Ridge, British Columbia: Re: New suburb is suburban sprawl: Maple Ridge councillor (mapleridgenews.com).

Thank you, Coun. Corisa Bell, for standing up for what’s right. In my presentation to council at the public hearing regarding this development (which is five kilometres outside the urban boundary, has a lousy ‘walk score’ of only two,

and is totally car-dependent), I mentioned a new report that came out on May 21, 2013 from Smart Growth America, which explains that cost of suburban development is on average 38 per cent more expensive than compact development (http://www.theatlanticcities.com/neighborhoods/2013/05/quantifying-cost-sprawl/5664/).

What is even more interesting is that the revenue from compact development can be up to 10 times more than from conventional suburban development. You would think it would make all members of council jump for joy to find out this fact. Could this knowledge help us solve our tax woes? It’s clear from the article “Taxes trimmed down to 3.9 per cent” in this issue of the News, that council and staff are having a hard time keeping property taxes in check. If council continues to approve this kind of sprawl, we can forget about our taxes ever going down.

Spin-off benefits • Amanda McKellar · Maple Ridge, British Columbia: Re: New suburb is suburban sprawl: Maple Ridge councillor (mapleridgenews.com).

The fact remains that not everyone wants to live in “compact development”. As a community, I think it is wise to acknowledge that attracting citizens to your tax base that gravitate towards these higher priced homes can benefit the community as a whole in many economic ways. It’s not black and white. You can’t look at the cost of the development in such a narrow view. Spin-off benefits of families with disposable income are large.

Great work • Hanna Vorlicek: Re: Photo of skateboarding Ridge Mountie goes viral (mapleridgenews.com).

This is the best community engagement the RCMP can do. Great work, Const. Steele.

R TARY IS

Hunters will no longer be able to shoot ducks and geese from most dikes in Pitt Meadows.

The city is set to amend its firearm bylaw to enact the changes, which were prompted by an increase in complaints from walkers and joggers who were concerned about guns being fired so close to people.

Hunters will still be able to hunt in fields, with permission from land owners, but firing guns towards the shore from the water will not allowed.

“The changes were discussed with the farming community, gun clubs and advocacy groups, who understood the need for changes because of the increase in conflict between the different user groups,” said city director of operations Kim Grout.

She added that the proposed changes to the bylaw are seen as an attempt to strike a balance between an outright firearms ban and regulating where people can hunt. The city gets between three and four complaints about hunters annually.

Since Pitt Meadows is one of the only areas in Metro Vancouver where hunting is still allowed, B.C.’s Ministry of Environment

will still require a Fraser Valley Special Area Hunting Licence.

Only shotguns are allowed.

Parts of eastern Maple Ridge are also open to hunting.

“I think this is a long time coming and welcome the change.

Safety has to be paramount,” said Coun. Bruce Bell at a meeting Tuesday.

The city gave three readings to its bylaw Tuesday but will advertise the changes before final adoption, which expected by the end of June.

The changes will come into effect for this year’s hunting season.

The city will also be adding more signs along dikes to warn people that hunters are around.

Cell phone stolen in brazen robbery Missing men Police are hoping the public can help them find two men who have been missing for several years.

Jacob ‘Jake’ Seagrave was last seen by his family in 2004, but was known to be living in Maple Ridge in 2006.

Police say he has led a transient lifestyle, and did not regularly contact his immediate family.

He was known to produce and sell unique spray paint artwork to support himself, and police have reports of this happening in Maple Ridge and more recently in Victoria’s Harbour area in 2012.

Seagrave is a white man, who is now 42 years old. He was 5’9’’ and 160 pounds. He has dark-blond, curly hair and green eyes.

Ridge Meadows RCMP are also asking for help in locating

Donald Kelly, who has not been heard from since September 2011.

Kelly was last seen in the Lower Mainland and called both Surrey and Burnaby home. He also had connection to Nelson in the southeast part of B.C. Kelly, 23, Seagrave is 5’8’’ and weighs approximately 150 pounds.

He has green eyes and brown hair.

• Anyone with information about Jake Seagrave or Donald Kelly is asked to Kelly call Constable Chris Wilson at 604-467-7669.

ID theft

A young man accused of stealing mail from several community mailboxes in Maple Ridge has been sentenced to 90 days in prison.

Brandon Russell

Cumming-Hobson pleaded guilty to several criminal charges including identity theft, obstructing a peace officer, impersonation, possession of stolen property and trafficking in a used credit card.

The offences took place in January in Coquitlam and Maple Ridge.

Ridge Meadows RCMP named Cumming-Hobson as a person of interest in April, alleging the 21-yearold was responsible for breaking into Canada Post mailboxes in the community.

Police issued a warrant for his arrest and Cumming-Hobson was taken into custody after several weeks on the lam.

Cu m m i ng - Hob s on was credited for 40 days he spent in presentence custody.

Ridge Meadows RCMP are looking for a pair of thieves who beat up a teenager last week in Maple Ridge and stole his cellphone.

The boy was approached by two young men around 12:20 p.m. on Davison Street and one of the men asked him for the time.

Police said the man then hit the teen on the back of his head and stole his cellular phone.

The two suspects ran north on Davison, then east on 124th Avenue.

“This is a brazen robbery that took place in the middle of the day, and we’re hoping a citizen is able to help us,” said Cpl. Alanna Dunlop.

The man who assaulted the teen is described as a dark-skinned man, possibly South Asian, between 17 and 18 years old, who was 5’9’’. He was wearing a black track suit with white stripes.

His accomplice is a white man, 15 to 17 years old, with short, spiky blond hair and

some acne on his face. He was wearing a white zip-up jacket.

Only Mayor Deb Walters attended from Pitt Meadows council.

Councillors don’t always want to attend such events because they’re busy with work, she said.

Walters went to the conference on Saturday after Pitt Meadows Day, spending Saturday and Sunday evening in the Fairmont Waterfront. But only the Sunday evening hotel was covered by the city.

Sunday was the President’s Forum, titled Building Strong Communities, with a keynote speech by Liberal leader Justin Trudeau. That was followed by the Gala Dinner, when Walters manned Pitt Meadows’ table until midnight, then attended a Monday morning session on rebuilding cities for a better future.

Politicians talked about gas tax, policing costs, medical marijuana legislation, and railway yards, of particular importance to Pitt Meadows because of CP’s Intermodal yard is located in the city.

“It’s important that we all work together on this.”

Walters sits on the Mayors Council for E Division that deals with policing issues.

Transportation plan trotted out Calls for more bike paths, sidewalks

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Traffic on 132nd Avenue just keeps getting heavier as more commuters from the growing suburbs of Rock Ridge and Silver Valley take the quickest way west.

Meanwhile, busy 240th Street still needs more sidewalks and downtown still needs bike paths, says a cycling advocate.

That’s to say nothing about improving bus routes or thinking about rapid transit.

However, Maple Ridge’s new strategic transportation plan, if it’s approved in the next few months, should answer all such questions, and set the rough direction for the next quarter century.

Maple Ridge is revising its plan from the 2003 version to reflect major changes that have already taken place, such as the new Pitt River and Golden Ears bridges.

After getting public input over the last year, consultants Urban Systems already have an

t was simply a numbers game. Whichever project got the greatest number of votes across Canada, would get the money – $100,000 cash.

And it wasn’t even close.

With results in from the Shell Fueling Change Campaign, the Kanaka Creek Watershed Stewardship Centre walked away with the money after earning at least 500,000 votes, 38,000 more

than the closest other projects – a caribourearing project in Revelstoke, and creation of wildlife habitat in Alberta by the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation.

People were able to cast their votes when they bought gasoline at Shell.

The money will go to the Pacific Parklands Foundation, a fundraising group that took on the project on behalf of the Kanaka Education and Environmental Partnership Society.

The money will go into the kitty to complete Phase 2 of the KEEPS project, a

stewardship centre at its hatchery on 256th Street, where classes can be held and adults and students can see firsthand how salmon stocks are raised.

Ross Davies, with KEEPS, said the money will be pooled with that which has already been raised from local and regional governments, bringing the kitty for construction of the centre to half a million dollars.

“It won’t get us there, but it sure gives us a shot in the arm,” said Davies.

“It was just a fantastic team effort from the Pacific Parklands Foundation, Metro

The grant is from Shell’s social investment initiative called FuellingChange, a program that awards $2 million every year to Canadian environmental projects as chosen through online voting

by Shell customers.

Other projects received $25,000 and $50,000. A total of 31 projects will receive funding in this year.

Davies said KEEPS is still awaiting a final cost and design for the second phase.

However, there are no time pressures for the project unlike the construction of the hatchery, which had to be done in order to replace the old barn that had been condemned.

“We know what we’re doing. We’re not flying by the seat of our pants.”

Davies said Samuel Robertson Technical school could use the new centre for environmental classes and maybe it could be a satellite centre for UBC or BCIT. “Just a lot of opportunities.”

“This was our third time participating in Shell FuellingChange,” said Denise Coutts, executive-director with Pacific Parklands.

And thanks to the amazing show of support and passion from the community, “the third time was the charm.”

Raising money for the stewardship centre is Parklands’ first capital raising project.

Winners of the Spirit Eagle Award, for overcoming adversity in their personal life and persevering with education, are Amos Topping of Westview and Josie Pearce of Garibaldi, seen here with school district supertendent Jan Unwin.

Aboriginal awards highlight successes

by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

Some of the most outstanding First Nations students in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district were honoured at the sixth annual Aboriginal Achievement Awards.

The event was held on May 30 at Thomas Haney secondary, with a celebratory dinner prepared by the chef and culinary arts students. Some 600 guests took part.

“It’s a great event.

There’s a very strong sense of community, and a very strong sense of involvement,” said Ron Lanzarotta, district principal of aboriginal education.

The Spirit Eagle Award is one of the most prestigious each year, and this year it went to two students who overcame tragedies in their personal lives but still persevered with their education: graduates Amos Topping of Westview secondary and Josie Pearce of Garibaldi secondary.

The Kwantlen Community Impact Award goes to a student who consistently demonstrates ongoing community involvement and improves their community. This year’s award winner is Kelly Paton of Pitt Meadows secondary.

The school district sponsors the Si:jam Cultural Leadership Award, for a student who has demonstrated cultural leadership in

their school and/or community. This year the winners are Andrew Sylvester of Pitt Meadows secondary and Car Sinclair of Connex.

The Five-Year Award of Excellence is given to students who have been nominated by their school staff for at least two categories as well as being on the A or B Honour Roll for all terms/semesters for five years. There were 12 winners this year: Kendra Anderson (GSS), Janelle BrownWalkus (THSS), Bronte Campbell (PMSS), Rosie Cooper

(GSS), Kate Crawford (MRSS), Alana Goodall (MRSS), Kelly Paton (PMSS), DarbeeRose Peragine (SRT), Jessee-Sue Peragine (SRT), Faith Phillips (GSS), Tyler Stefurak (PMSS) and Alexandra Trottier (SRT).

In the annual logo contest, a student must create an original drawing with a supporting write-up. The theme for this year was “All My Relations.”

The elementary logo contest winner was Charlie Watkins from Eric Langton, and the secondary winner was

Raine Larson of Maple Ridge secondary.

“The goal is to achnowledge them, and encourage aboriginal youth to continue to pursue education,” said Lanzarotta.

The graduation rate for aboriginal students is lower than the overall rate in B.C. However, the local district has a rate of 67 per cent for such students, which compares favourably to the provincial rate of 54 per cent.

The local school district has 1, 100 students who self identify as being aboriginal.

Construction should be finished by year end.

The project requires a complete shut down of 232nd Street, but a temporary pedestrian bridge will allow walkers and cyclists to make their way up to the new subdivision at the

north end of the street.

Once work starts, however, motorists will have to use 224th Street and drive north up to 136th Avenue, then turn right to get into the subdivision.

nabbed and whose role in your life was understood.

It wasn’t just mother who minded the children – you were as likely to be reprimanded by a neighbour as one of your parents.

This was an important element in the freedom of children.

Their parents were secure in the knowledge that someone would either call a halt or come to the rescue as needed.

We can never go backwards.

We don’t have those old-fashioned neighbourhoods any more, where people lived for multiple generations and hardly anyone moved away.

Instead, we have to work a bit harder to get the good parts of those communities back through modern means.

In Maple Ridge today, there are several community associations through which people can become more involved with their neighbours, until those neighbours become friends.

Shared issues and opportunities, neighbourhood-based projects or celebrations, and goals for the future all serve to unite and inspire the group of strangers who are the most common starting point for a community association today.

PROFESSIONAL SEWING & ALTERATIONS

Monitoring health of elderly important worry about but we all know differently. We age and we thicken. Diabetes can begin to sneak up on us and without detection can begin to damage arteries, eyes, kidneys and potential circulatory issues that lead to lower limb amputations.

Symptoms of diabetes most commonly include constant thirst, frequent urination and constant hunger. It’s pretty easy for an elderly person to think they simply need to drink more, naturally have to urinate more, and then end up eating more leading to increased weight issues. It can become a circular path to greater health risks.

Those who are most at risk are often those living alone, particularly if they are not able to exercise much or are overweight.

Unable to get out without the assistance of others, they often fail to have regular check-ups and may go for years with an undiagnosed case of diabetes. But they are certainly not the only ones who can go undiagnosed. It’s important that family help monitor the

ike blood pressure, there is another stealth disease that is common for the elderly – diabetes.

It, too, can wreak havoc on long-term health if left undetected and untreated.

There are two basic categories of diabetes, Type 1, caused by an autoimmune response to insulin production and generally inherited, or Type 2 which, while still having a genetic component, is also affected by lifestyle, particularly obesity and smoking.

In Canada, more than two million people have diabetes, with 90 per cent, having Type 2 and 10 per cent having Type 1. Rates of Type 2 diabetes have risen in a parallel pattern with the rise in obesity, and of course, an aging population in general. Age is also a factor and the highest rate of diabetes in adult populations tops out at close to 30 per cent in the over-70 age group.

So, if we could stay young and stay thin, diabetes might not be something we’d need to

Running back and forth through a water sprinkler on a hot summer afternoon is one of the great delights of childhood.

But Delta Mayor Lois Jackson says Metro Vancouver appears to have inadvertently outlawed those merry moments of fun and frolic as part of the regional district’s ongoing drive to conserve water.

Metro water sprinkling rules that took effect June 1 say lawns may only be watered between 4 and 9 a.m. on designated days, a measure planners say helps control peak water use and push back costly infrastructure upgrades.

“When we were small we always had the sprinkler in the backyard,” Jackson said.

She asked at the May 24 Metro board meeting if the regulations also preclude running a sprinkler so kids can have backyard fun.

She was told it does and violators could be fined $100.

But Metro doesn’t enforce the water sprinkling bylaw – local cities do – so local bylaw officers could show leniency.

The Metro regulations allow early morning sprinkling for evennumbered homes on Mondays, Wednesdays or Saturdays and odd-numbered addresses on Tuesdays, Thursdays or Sundays.

The restrictions don’t apply to watering flowers, vegetables, shrubs and trees. Metro recommends lawns be watered no more than one hour a week.

So nice to come home to.

Our museum and archives support the idea of communities and their associations whole-heartedly by providing history that the modern community can share and celebrate.

The museum is a means to graft common roots on people who have previously had nothing in common beyond suddenly sharing geography.

We have our established historic neighbourhoods that are based around early postal services, but that does not mean we are restricted to just those neighbourhoods.

Changes in transportation and access and increased population have given us more neighbourhood options than we have ever had before.

Any group of people who wish to develop a neighbourhood community, based around a school, for example, should contact the museum for the history of that area as they will be surprised how rich it is, even outside the official lines.

For today’s picture, we have a group of neighbourhood children in one community that has an active community association today – Webster’s Corners.

In this instance, the supervising mother is Mrs. Rajala, mother of Eleanor (standing at left, second row from the front) and Toi, standing behind his sister holding their puppy, Bingo. The rest of the children represent the Katainen, Kukkola, Ranta and Latomaki families – all from the Finnish community in Webster’s Corners.

Later this month, on June 22 in Webster’s Corners Park, the Webster’s Corners Community Association will celebrate their neighbourhood day for the 14th year. Representatives of that same Finnish community will attend and have tea and talk about old times.

The museum will be there with a large historical display and there will be activities for all ages. Come and share the community spirit.

‘We want it to be a gathering place’ At the end of a long day and a long commute, there’s nothing better than leaving your car in its parking spot and knowing you’re home. But Qualico, in partnership with Chow & Li, is doing one better with Willougby Town Centre. With services and multi-family living all in one place, it’s perfect for those who want convenience and a socially active community.

“The whole idea is to be pedestrianfriendly,” says Diane Zarola, sales and marketing manager for Qualico. “We want it to be a gathering place.”

Thus far, confirmed tenants include Shoppers Drug Mart, RBC, G&F Financial, Noma Sushi Restaurant,

Rendevous Liquor Store and Loblaw’s: Your Independent Grocer.

Other possible tenants include a yoga studio, coffee shop and clothing boutiques.

Willoughby Town Centre’s first residential space will be Kensington, a three-storey condominium development right in the thick of the action.

“You can look out your window and see your friends having coffee. There’s nothing like it in Langley,” Zarola says.

“It’s going to become a destination.

We’re very, very excited about it.”

Lake Whatcom recreation

Nature at its best at Wildwood Lakefront Cottages

By Kerry Vital

Washington’s Lake Whatcom is a largely undiscovered gem for Canadians, with a myriad of outdoor activities, a peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity for a ton of family bonding. Now you can purchase your own family getaway at Wildwood Lakefront Cottages right on the shores at South Bay. “It feels like you’re in the middle of a cedar forest,” says sales director Wayne Lyle.

The natural setting is one of the highlights of Wildwood, with its two streams, huge trees and pristine lake and shoreline. Lake Whatcom holds the drinking water for the city of Bellingham, so there are numerous restrictions in place in order to ensure it stays pristine.

The lake is over 12 miles long, with Wildwood and its 11 acres located at the quiet south end. Just 45 minutes from the Canada-U.S. border, Canadians have been flocking there to purchase their little piece of paradise.

“It’s a real family experience,” Lyle says. “They’re buying for the legacy, for the memories. Our buyers are strictly families and have either kids or grandkids.”

The developers of the site are a group of Canadian families who now own cottages on the lake themselves.

“It gives it a personal feel,” Lyle says, adding that the vast majority of the buyers so far are Canadian. One of the big draws for Canadians is that the property is gated and private, has a resident on-site manager and your landscaping is all looked after.

Wildwood started life in the 1950s as a campground, and that natural flavour still survives today as an outdoor experience with all the comforts of home.

“The historical factor is quite cool,” Lyle says. “I’ve met many people who learned to water-ski here 40 years ago.”

Whether you want to go fishing, take out the canoe or go for a swim, you’ll find a ton of outdoor activities available on-site. The private marina holds 34 private boat slips, 15 mooring buoys and a number of guest slips.

You’ll also find a clubhouse, pool and hot tub, tennis court, recreation centre, playground, community herb garden and a winding walking trail.

The cottages themselves are made for cozy family times, with five different floorplans to choose from and three

“

from the other cottages, you can purchase a lot at Wildwood and have your own cottage built instead of choosing from one of the floorplans.

Wildwood’s proximity to Seattle makes it a convenient spot to stop if you’re planning to fly out of the Seattle airport as well. You can also pay a visit to Mount Baker for skiing, just an hour and a half away.

“This a great base camp for families,”

Lyle says. “You take a deep breath when you look out at the water. And with the price of real estate in B.C., this lakefront property is a bargain!”

Lots at Wildwood start at $174,900, and fully finished cottages plus lots start at $324,900. For more information, visit www.wildwoodlakefrontcottages.com or call 1-855-588-7788. The site is open Wednesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. or by appointment any time except Sundays.

natural colour schemes. The main floor features the living areas, sunny window seats, decked-out kitchens and one bedroom or one-bedroom plus den configurations with a sleeping loft above.

“Kids love the sleeping lofts; the ceilings are five feet in height,” Lyle says. “They think it’s built just for them!”

The features of the cottages are also a hit for buyers.

“These are upscale cozy cottages,” Lyle says. “They have hardwood flooring, quartz countertops, stainlesssteel appliances and stone fireplaces.”

Some of the cottages have rooftop decks that are perfect for star-gazing.

Each home includes a covered deck to give you that indoor-outdoor life that everyone loves in the summer, many with an outdoor fireplace.

You’ll also find an outdoor wood burning fire pit with every cottage (perfect for making s’mores), and a gas fireplace inside with a natural stone facing to contribute to the feeling of being part of the outdoors.

The cottages at Wildwood include outdoor patios, many with an outdoor fireplace, cozy sleeping lofts and plenty of outdoor activities, from canoeing to swimming to fishing.

Drought tolerant plants need time P

lants are a lot like people in that they have different tolerances for hot and cold.

While most of us tend to focus on the hardiness zone when purchasing shrubs, this number is really just an expression of the lowest temperature a plant can endure without perishing – it is not an indica- Gardening Mike Lascelle tion of resilience.

Drought tolerance may not seem like an attribute that coastal gardeners need worry about, but once the rain clouds clear those sloped or tiered gardens begin to dry out quickly, and few of us have irrigation systems or the time to hand water.

The other factor that comes into play here is that, sooner or later, summer water restrictions are going to extend to all parts of our gardens (not just the lawns) or the cost of metered water is going to be so prohibitive that our shrubs are just going to have to fend for themselves.

If you have ever seen a drought stressed rhododendron, pieris or Nishiki willow, you know it’s not a pretty sight, and it can take months for them to recover, during which time your garden looks like crap.

So maybe it is time for us to consider drought tolerance, at least for the plants that we use on slopes or in gravelly, porous soils.

Back in my landscaper days, we had to design a lot of south-facing sloped gardens in North and West Vancouver, and in most

Mike Lascelle photos

(From left) Delosperma ‘fire spinner’ and Ceanothus x ‘blue jeans.’ cases we relied exclusively on drought tolerant plants.

Two shrubs we depended upon heavily were the non-invasive brooms genista lydia (60 centimetres high by 90 cm wide) and the UBC introduction genista pilosa ‘Vancouver Gold’ (15 cm high by 90 cm wide), both of which are smothered in bright yellow blooms in late spring and endure the driest of summers once established.

These are deciduous in nature, but the

leaves are so tiny that their absence is hardly noticed in winter, amidst the abundance of tangled green stems.

The hardy ice plants (delosperma) are another group of perennials that are useful in xeriscapes and are showier than the usual drought tolerant options of hens and chicks (sempervivum) and various sedum cultivars.

These bear starry jewel-tone flowers of deep magenta (D. cooperi), golden-yel-

low (D. nubigenum) and tangerine with a bright pink centers (‘fire spinner’) – all blooming from late spring into summer.

The California lilacs are another group of drought tolerant shrubs that are coming into bloom just about now, with most of these bearing unusual blue flowers and glossy evergreen foliage.

Ceanothus thyrsiflorus ‘Victoria’ is the most common of these (flowering from May to June), but it is often not given enough growing room, as it matures at 1.75-2.5 metres high, even with regular pruning.

Ceanothus x impressus ‘Dark Star’ has deeper blue flowers that are honey scented and is much favoured by the bees and butterflies, with tiny dark green leaves.

New this year (at least as locally grown plants) is Ceanothus x ‘Blue Jeans,’ which as the name implies has blooms the colour of faded denim, as well as deep green holly-like foliage and a more spreading growth habit.

California lilacs should be planted now, as they need to be well-rooted in before they face their first winter or you will be left with more than few fatalities.

As well, all drought tolerant plants require a full season of growth (to develop a good root system) before they can actually endure extended dry spells.

The News/sports Pitt player picked for Team B.C.

by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

I

t was a tough tryout.

The best Grade 9 students from across the province came together at the Langley Events Centre over the weekend, all striving to earn out for a spot on Team B.C. Scrimmages were a chance to stand out – show what you can do.

Pitt Meadows baller Gabriel Laza found himself set up, taking a pass from a good friend, and looking at a clear lane to the basket.

He doesn’t often try to dunk in a game situation, but it seemed like the right moment, and he threw one down.

“I think that sealed the deal,” he said with a modest smile.

The small forward will be part of the B.C. Under-15 team, for a great summer of basketball.

His tryout started with making the regional team, which covers an area on the north shore of the Fraser from Coquitlam to Mission. Then 18 teams from across B.C., from regions on Vancouver Island to the north, played off in a tournament. From that event, 50-or-so kids were chosen for tryouts, and that was cut down to 12 players on the B.C. Blue Team, and another 12 alternates on the B.C. Red Team.

Both teams will attend tournaments in Washington State and Las Vegas, but only the Blue team will represent B.C. at the national championships in St. John’s, Nfld., Aug. 3-10.

“Making the team was my goal for this year, so it was a proud moment,” said Laza.

He got a really late start in basketball by Fraser Valley standards, not really picking up the game until Grade 7. But once he fell in love with it, he went to every clinic and camp he could, driven by his supportive father, Valli.

Laza is athletic, six-foot-three, and has the ups to play above most

Maple Ridge’s top-ranked Rock Wall climbers, along with rest of Canada’s best youth and adult climbers, converged in Victoria to battle it out for top honours in both the difficulty and speed disciplines of competitive sport climbing.

This year turned out to be the toughest competition ever, with more than 170 athletes qualifying for the national event. The Rock Wall had eight athletes going up against what would prove to be the deepest fields ever.

Gabriel Laza of Pitt Meadows has been selected to be part of the provincial under-15 basketball team, which will take part in summer tournaments including the national championships in Newfoundland.

Grade 9s.

He said he has a lot of respect for the Marauders basketball program in Pitt Meadows, but chose to play for the Terry Fox Ravens, because many of his friends attend the Port Coquitlam school.

The Ravens had a good year, and his personal highlight was a 36-point game at the provincial tournament, in which he was named a second-team all-star.

“I just try to be a leader, and play my role on the team,” he said.

Fox went 8-0 in league last year, won the district final, but lost in the second round of the provincials to number-two ranked Kitsilano in a close game.

The Ravens wound up finished seventh in B.C. Laza loves intense games, and said he will enjoy the upcoming tournaments in the U.S.

“You can’t even compare the talent in the States – it’s really good competition,” he said.

There will be the bright lights of Vegas in July, and finally the national tournament.

Making the team is a big step in his overall goal to try to one day play for the national team, and will help him get noticed by college scouts. He aspires to a scholarship, hopefully in the U.S.

for Team Canada was at the 2012 Pan-Am Championships last November in Santiago, Chile where she placed fifth in speed and sixth in difficulty.

This year at nationals Spurrell had a flawless completion through each round and took first place in difficulty, capping her strongest season yet.

Now she has some decisions to make for representing Canada at a number of World Cup events around the world. Choosing which events she would like to represent Canada is easy… all of them, but the reality of costs and logistics makes it a much harder choice. Canada is one of the few countries where

funding is not available for competitive sport climbing, so our athletes are responsible for 100 per cent of their travel and competition costs.

Spurrell will be fundraising as she decides which World Cup will be best fit her budget and work around her schooling.

Other Rock Wall climbers; Laura Siemens, Sara Hopkins, Kari Jurick, Breanna Matheson, Ben Ross, Burke Jurjaks and Sydney Ross climbed really well this weekend. Siemens, in both her first nationals and first time competing in Open after moving up from Advanced Women started off pretty nervous climbing in front of the larger crowd. In

finals, her nerves had settled and she got back to basics and focused on her climbing and finished second with a great last climb behind Spurrell.

Ho pkins was a favourite to place this weekend in Youth C female after placing first in Western Regionals last month, but was still recovering from pneumonia and finished eighth.

Jurick, Youth C Female and Matheson, Youth A Female were competing in their first ever nationals. Both had respectable results in some of the deepest fields in the competition finishing 14th and 20th respectively.

Ben Ross and Jurjaks, competing in Youth C Male,

were both tied for first along with 12 others after the first round showing the depth of their field., but they did not make the finals.

Ross’s sister Sydney also put two great qualifying climbs together in difficulty, but with the depth of the field, came up just short of making it into Semis.

Spurrell posted her personal best time in the speed rounds and finished first for Open Women.

Jurjaks also competed in Speed climbing. In SemiFinals he was ahead by several seconds, but made a decision to dyno (jump) for a hold, but came up short.

Jurjaks settled for 4th place in Speed.

ne of the plethora of recent diets in the spot-light – the Paleo diet – is fairly well known and being practiced by many fitness enthusiasts, and has in fact has been around for about 50 years.

The Paleo diet would require you to eat a range of food that was eaten by cavemen living in the Paleolithic period (10,000 to 2.5 million years ago).

The Kinected diet Kerry Senchyna consists of eating foods that were available at that time – before agriculture. That is berries, nuts, tubers and meat sources.

The rationale for eating this way is that since we evolved to eat these foods, and our digestive system adapted to those foods, we should continue to eat this way, especially since our modern diets are rife with processing and toxic ingredients. Cancer, obesity and a plethora of other diseases are supposed to be due to eating post-Paleolithic foods.

However, there is a new article in Scientific American which critically discusses the origin and validity of the Paleo Diet.

Hunter-gatherers of the Paleolithic period walked through their surroundings scrounging for berries, nuts, vegetation and scavenging for leftover meat from the remains of predator kills, and occasionally killing their own. They did not eat cereals, grains or dairy because they were not invented yet.

In the modern context, subscribing to this plan would allow you to eat a modified version of the original diet that’s glutenfree and includes lean meat, organ meats, fish, poultry, eggs, vegetables, fruit, and nuts.

See Senchyna, p33

Unfinished Basement?

Sports

We and our food continue to evolve Senchyna from p32

But you wouldn’t be able to eat any dairy, grains, sugar, legumes, potatoes, processed oils, and any foods that were grown after agriculture started.

You’d also have to skip salt and any drinks other than water, coconut water, or organic tea. You can placate your sweet tooth with raw honey or coconut palm sugar, but only in limited quantities.

One of the problems with the logic of the diet is that Paleolithic man was not static and humans continued to evolve through time, our bodies adapting to the changing environment, which consisted of harvesting agricultural crops and farming for dairy foods.

Two such adaptations the article cites is that in the last half-dozen millennia, humans have developed a genetic mutation that provides for lactose tolerance, allowing us to consume dairy foods. We have also radically and quickly

evolved the bacteria living in our intestinal tract from that time period.

And not only have people evolved since the paleolithic period, but the foods we eat have evolved as well, both through natural processes and through human influence. We have bred animals and modified crops for size, taste, colour, hardiness, yield and other traits that are beneficial for people.

In fact it would very difficult, if not impossible, to eat the original Paleo diet since virtually all those foods have disappeared or evolved since then.

One of the main criticisms of this diet is that by eliminating or avoiding some of the post-Paleo foods, we would miss foods that include the calcium in dairy foods, the fibre and vitamins in grains, and the protein in legumes, among others.

Of course it makes sense to avoid the ingredients in food that we know will

cause obesity and cardiovascular disease and increase your risk for cancer. Generally, eating whole foods and eliminating highly processed foods with loads of saturated and trans-fats is a good idea.

Eating a diet with a component of Paleo influence is not a bad thing, but if you ask most registered dieticians about this topic, they will usually recommend a wellbalanced diet involving a variety of foods from the traditional four food groups.

Most dieticians state that if you really want to follow the Paleo diet be sure to supplement the plan with calcium and vitamin D. Eliminating all grains, dairy, processed foods, sugar, and more can lead to weight loss and improve aspects of your health, but it may be tough to follow this plan as a lifestyle choice due to the diet’s strict nature. There may be many valuable nutrients that your body will have to do

without.

If you want to follow this diet, you can’t use the justification that modern human’s true natural state is paleolithic. It isn’t. We and our food continue to evolve.
