Off-leash park plagued by glass, possible poisoning nine incidents report to parks dept., dog feces smeared at Cliff Falls by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

Someone is spreading glass on the ground in the off-leash area at Volker Park and a dog may have been poisoned there. On Thursday, Tina Deoliveira was again combing the ground for bits of glass at the popular dog park, located at 21113 – 123rd Avenue in Maple Ridge. Her routine involves taking her beagle Scrappy to the park every morning, and she has always enjoyed that time of her day. “It’s a really nice dog park – they [district staff] have done a fabulous job,” she said. “It’s a nice place to hang out with other people who have dogs, and the dogs play. “But at least twice per week now, I come to the park and I end up picking up glass.” She can’t stand the thought of some unaware pet owner having their canine companion injured by the glass, so her morning leisure time often now spent cleaning up. “Someone either doesn’t like dogs, or doesn’t want the dog park here,” she said. See Dogs, p3

Scrappy, a two-year-old beagle, was fortunate not to have stepped in broken glass his owner, Tina Deoliveira, picked up throughout the off-leash area at Volker Park. And it wasn’t the first time.

Fourth chlorine leak evacuates pool WorkSafe report finds failings, changes considered by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

The Leisure Centre in Maple Ridge was evacuated again on Tuesday after the fourth chlorine leak at the indoor pool in three years. The evacuation follows a leak in the chlorine room on Jan. 31, after which a WorkSafe B.C. report found a faulty chlorine monitor

and that recreation staff weren’t checking them as often as required. “Three leaks in the last two years, that’s just nuts,” said Brian Northam, a health and safety officer with the Greater Vancouver Regional District Employees Union and who was at the Leisure Centre on Tuesday. “The leak should never have been able to propagate to the required emergency response,” involving the Maple Ridge fire department. Lifeguards and staff emptied the pool at about 5:30 p.m. after an alarm sounded indicating a chlo-

rine leak, triggering the evacuation. Chlorine gas is injected into the pool’s water supply from compressed chlorine gas tanks in a separate room in the southwest corner of the Leisure Centre. No one was injured in the incident. But it could have been more serious, said Northam. According to the website Toxipedia, chlorine gas can be smelled at 3.5 parts per million and can be fatal after a few breaths at 1,000 parts per million. Chlorine also was used

as a chemical weapon by the Germans against the Allies in the First World War. “If this gets on your skin, you’re going to blister.” If you breath it in, Northam added, death could result. He said each workplace has to be able to do its own evacuation procedures. “What happens if the fire department had a three-alarm fire?” Staff did evacuate the pool, said recreation director Wendy McCormick.

Home care rules isolate pet owner Workers are to leave if cats not locked up

son Tasleem Juma said the health agency has been providing service to Tomlin for years without incident, and confirmed there have been no safety issues concerning her cats. However, a policy for home care workers says pets cannot be in the same room as a care provider. “It’s actually a Worksafe BC policy, that we have to abide by,” Juma said. She said it is apparently intended to reduce staff having allergic reactions or being violently attacked by pets.

by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

Maple Ridge woman who needs home health care to help her with such basic tasks as getting dressed and bathing has been told she has to wrangle her cats into a den before workers arrive. One cat is no problem – Miette is easily manageable. But another, a high-strung feline named Rajah, hates to be corralled into the small room and easily evades his wheelchair-bound “master.” This new regulation is one of many frustrations Susan Tomlin has had with home care service this year, but she has been told the new rules could ultimately force her to give up her pets. Tomlin has needed home care for 23 years, and it has been a great service. At one time, health workers would arrive daily at 9 a.m., help her dress and get ready for the day, put her through a rangeof-motion exercise routine, and even perform some domestic chores before departing by 10 or 10:30 a.m. Beginning in January, the system changed. Tomlin gets different home makers now, and they can arrive anytime between 9 a.m. and noon. On bath days, a second worker will arrive anytime between noon and the end of the work day. So there is no routine, and she is

“We recognize the importance of pets to individuals in general.” Tasleem Juma, Fraser Health

Susan Tomlin needs home care help, but has difficulty corralling her two cats. dependent on their help. Worse, she has to have the cats locked up, or the workers are supposed leave. They call 15 minutes before arriving, then it’s up to Tomlin to carry, chase or cajole the cats into the room. Tomlin is weak from spinal muscular atrophy, a condition known as KugelburgWelander’s disease. It’s a slow paralysis that starts in the trunk muscles and then spreads down the legs and eventually the arms.

Tomlin tries to use treats to lure Rajah into the den, but the stubborn 14-yearold can’t be bribed. Tomlin thinks he must associate being locked in the room with veterinary visits. She said the home care workers have actually left, a handful of times, because the pets aren’t both locked up. The situation has too often left Tomlin frustrated, shaking and literally in tears. Lately, she has had an easier time. With the nice weather,

she just has to open the door and the cats go out. However, when the rain returns, it won’t be that easy. And there are days when she is too weak to get out of bed, even with the help of a ceiling lift, or to open the door. The cats have never attacked anyone. “My cats are big sucks. I’ve never heard any complaints about my cats,” she said. “They’re my babies. I don’t have any close family.” Fraser Health spokesper-

Juma said Fraser Health acknowledges that patients love their pets, and even uses pet therapy programs in residential care facilities, in which good natured dogs visit with seniors who can’t keep their own animals. “We recognize the importance of pets to individuals in general.” Juma made some calls about the situation, and said Fraser health is committed to ensuring services to Tomlin can continue without interruption. “We’re confident we’ll find a solution that works for everybody.”

Tips help catch home invaders Public tips helped Ridge Meadows RCMP arrest two men and a woman after a home invasion and robbery in daylight hours Tuesday. Police were called to a townhouse complex on Ford Road at about 7:30 p.m., after reports that two men, one of them armed with a firearm, had forced entry to a townhome and had stolen property from that residence. The pair was observed getting into a dark-coloured SUV, and being driven away by a female accomplice. The trio was then seen moments later getting into a white car, and abandoning the SUV. Police recognized the description of the car, and arrested the suspects. “Fortunately no one was injured in this brazen incident,” said Sgt. Dale Somerville. “Investigators are in the early stages of the investigation. What I can tell you is one of the males arrested is a well-known offender who has a lengthy criminal history and is a public safety concern.” All suspects have been held in custody pending court appearances scheduled for Thursday, and they are facing charges of robbery, break and enter, possessing break-in instruments and others. This arrest was through the cumulative efforts of citizens and police, added Somerville. General duty and street enforcement police officers were locate the white car, and three suspects were taken into custody. “This afforded police a good opportunity to gather further evidence, including the recovery of the abandoned SUV, which turned out to be a stolen vehicle, that ties the suspects to this crime.”

‘Someone is trying to send a message’ Dogs from front

Venus Lapierre also brings her dog Rex, a Pomeranian, to the park on a regular basis, and visits with other pet owners at the busy park. Now she keeps a sharp eye out for glass. “It worries a lot of people, a lot of people are talking about it,” she said. Ed Beers, a regular visitor to Volker Park, has noticed fewer people using the offleash area in the past month. “Someone is deliberately doing things, to deliberately injure animals,” he said. “Not nearly as many people are going there.”

Thursday morning Beers saw a note left on a sign at the park, advising people about a poisoning incident. He reported it to district hall. Parks manager Jeff Mallory saw it. The note detailed how a park visitor’s dog ate what appeared to be kibble, and within an hour of doing so was vomiting and shaking. The note indicates the ill dog may have consumed rat poisoning. “I have a huge vet bill, and a very sick dog,” says the note. Mallory said he is preparing a notice to Maple Ridge council about the incidents at the park.

A park user first came to the district office with a bag of glass on May 8. Since that time there have been nine further glass-spreading incidents that the municipality is aware of. Each time Mallory has dispatched clean-up crews and filed RCMP reports, and has notified both the bylaws department and the SPCA about the problems. Mallory is asking neighbours of the park to be vigilant, and report anything suspicious to police. He said the glass is tempered, like that used in the automotive industry, and

less likely to cut than domestic glass. “It is safer, but someone is trying to put a message out,” said Mallory. In his 23 years in the field, he has never seen this kind of vandalism. “We’re really concerned.” It’s part of a disturbing spring trend in Maple Ridge. It follows a report of nails being found, set into the ground, sharp ends up, in Allco Park. There was also animal feces smeared on picnic tables and garbage can lids at Allco.

Car Care with Cyril Barry

THE OIL CHANGE...

Way back when our parents were driving those old rear wheel drive chromed trimmed beauties, a vehicle owner would take their ride to the local gas station for its regular oil change and check up. The mechanic would take the car out for a test drive to check the brakes, suspension, tune, wipers, lights, heater etc. The car would then be put up on the hoist and drained of the old oil. This is where the real work began as the mechanic would systematically check the front suspension and steering components including all five tires. Yes cars would have a full sized spare which would have to be rotated into service in order to maximize tire mileage and value. He would then proceed to check the brakes, drive-line, exhaust and suspension. During these inspections anything that needed adjustments were normally taken care of as he was already there so it did not cost much more to service whatever needed it. After completing all under car work the vehicle would be lowered back down to ground level where the oil would be refilled and all other fluids checked for condition and level. This would be followed by an inspection of all under hood components that completed the entire car inspection. Anything that was not up to snuff was reported to the owner for their immediate attention. Nowadays most people consider an oil change something that is a 15 minute drivethru service. One that can be entrusted to youngsters barely out of high school with little to no mechanical repair experience, earning at best minimum wage. Do you actually think that kids working at a drive-thru quick oil change facility have the knowledge or expertise to determine if your car needs a fuel injection service, coolant or radiator flush? The answer to that question is quite obvious so I will not be-labour the point but you must admit that it does give you something to think about. The point to this article is that the basic engine oil change is the most important and least costly service that all vehicles require on a very regular basis. This service is also the opportunity for your vehicle to be inspected by a certified auto technician to make sure all is well and to catch little things before they turn into big or costly repairs. Your vehicle is comprised of a number of sub systems such as brakes, exhaust, coolant, engine, driveline, front end suspension and electronic engine-transmission-brakes-safety systems. All of these systems interact with each other and it takes a great deal of skill, experience, training and sophisticated equipment and computer generated data to keep everything in order. To trust this to anyone other than a certified auto technician is a gamble. Yes we do oil changes and safety inspections everyday except weekends. Do you want to gamble with your expensive vehicle? Remember when driving to look out for road construction as it is summer and it’s busy no matter what road you’re on.

Sometimes garbage, such as an old TV or soccer balls, ends up in the mix of sludge and weeds the city clears from irrigation ditches and dumps in holes along the dike.

Mayor concerned about ditch dumping by T i m Fit z geral d contributor

The City of Pitt Meadows has vowed to clean up its act when it comes

to how it deals with waste from its ditches. The city regularly clears sludge and evasive weeds from its irrigation ditches to prevent flooding.

The sludge is then dumped in three-metre-deep holes, dug out along the banks of the dike trail by the Alouette River, near Neaves Road, to dry.

The dried dirt is then used to fill in low spots around the dike. However, some garbage – such as an old TV set, soccer balls, plastic containers and discarded building materials – also ends up in the ditches throughout Pitt Meadows, and ultimately ends up in the dumped mix. Jack Emberly, a local environmentalist, has taken photos of the dug-out “cells” and is concerned garbage is being left and buried along the dike. He brought the matter to Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters and council on June 25, hoping the city removes the garbage. Emberly believes the dumping practice has been common over the years and said there’s no way of telling how much garbage has been

ing the ditches doesn’t allow for garbage to be separated before dumped at the fill site. “This isn’t something we choose to do. It’s a byproduct off the process,” said Evans. “I wish people wouldn’t dump it on the side of the road, but it’s one of those things we have to deal with.” He said once garbage is located at the site, it’s pulled, then piled in order to dry out before it’s eventually taken to the landfill or recycling station. Evans said staffing levels can sometimes dictate how often that occurs, and the amount of garbage varies depending on the day. “From time-to-time, we can get behind, either it’s three weeks or three months. But we do get the job done,” he said.

buried along the dikes. Walters has instructed staff to address the issue. A report is due back to council for its next meeting on Tuesday, July 9. “I was concerned. I certainly don’t want to see anything that can be environmentally damaging,” said Walters. “Our No. 1 priority is to make sure the water can flow through our ditches properly.” Randy Evans, operations superintendent for the City of Pitt Meadows, said the initial process of clean-

While he can’t control the public’s perception of the process, Evans stressed that the goal is to recycle and remove as much garbage as possible. “I understand, from an optics point of view, that we have to do a better job, and we’ll try to get out there more often.” Emberly is hoping council will establish a clear policy to deal with the garbage. “This is a chance for council to become more accountable and more responsible for the policies it puts in place,” he said.

Monitors checked now Chlorine from front

A sensor detected the chlorine leak and sounded the alarm. Staff immediately evacuated the pool and the building and 911 was called. â€œEverything shuts down as soon as thereâ€™s a breech,â€? regardless of whether thereâ€™s power, McCormick said. â€œWe have automatic shut-off valves and they all worked just like they were supposed to. We test them regularly.â€? Northam also said pool staff are also using outdated breathing apparatus, which means theyâ€™re not getting regular training. McCormick, though, said only senior maintenance staff or senior lifeguards, about 20 in all, enter the chlorine room and do so with masks that are tested and fitted yearly. â€œThese are all new masks that they wear if theyâ€™re going into that room.â€? Staff, though, donâ€™t enter the room if thereâ€™s an emergency. If the alarm sounds and thereâ€™s a chlorine leak, 911 is called. â€œTheyâ€™re not going in the room if thereâ€™s a spill,â€? she said. The room can only be accessed from the exterior and not from the pool deck. â€œThereâ€™s no way for that chlorine to get to the pool deck.â€? Also, with automatic shut-off valves on each tank, chlorine canâ€™t build up to high enough concentrations to be dangerous to passersby outside the Leisure Centre or in the adjacent Haney Place Mall. Only a catastrophic circumstance could result in such a scenario, but in that case, firefighters would be on hand and the area would be evacuated, McCormick said. â€œWeâ€™d have to have all kinds of things fail for that to happen.â€? McCormick said that the leaks in 2011 and 2012 and again on Tuesday has the recreation department reconsidering

Absolute

another way to disinfect the pool water. WorkSafe B.C. followed the two previous incidents with inspections and orders, which the district quickly followed, she added. â€œAnd we do fall into compliance in a short period of time.â€? The pool meets all safety regulations and would be shut down if it wasnâ€™t, she said. The pool also was evacuated last January following another leak in the chlorine room, where a faulty stationary monitor showed readings of 2.4 parts per million, while a portable monitor showed levels of 20 parts per million. According to a WorkSafe report from that incident, chlorine is dangerous to health at 10 ppm. WorkSafe also found that the district wasnâ€™t checking the monitors every month, contrary to Operational Health and Safety Regulations, and that staff entered the chlorine room when there was a leak, contrary to regulations, and without calling 911. Maple Ridgeâ€™s recreation department is looking at converting to a new water treatment system â€“ a combination of ultra-violet light and liquid chlorine, similar to bleach â€“ in order to purify the water. But thatâ€™s costly. â€œWe donâ€™t want to see this happening regularly. Weâ€™re certainly looking at it,â€? McCormick said. Gas chlorine though probably works best at keeping the water crystal clean and clear, she added. Tuesdayâ€™s leak and the one in 2012 were both caused by faulty regulators, a device located near the tanks, which governs the flow of gas. The district is contacting the supplier of those regulators. â€œThey shouldnâ€™t be failing,â€? McCormick said. People returned to the pool about two hours later.

Wake-up call Amid the celebrations and fireworks Monday, Victoria suddenly found itself in the rarefied club of Canadian cities targeted for a high-profile terrorist attack. If the suspects had slipped under the radar and detonated pressure-cooker bombs outside the legislature during Canada Day celebrations, it could have been the worst terrorist attack in history on Canadian soil. Instead, the B.C. RCMP were able to announce two arrests – John Nuttall, a Surrey man (and former Victoria resident) with a significant criminal rap sheet, and Amanda Korody, his partner. RCMP assert both of these Canadian born-andraised suspects were “self-radicalized” by al-Qaida influence. Nuttall has been in and out of Victoria’s courts regularly for assaults, robberies, mischief and possessing weapons. In media articles, he was described as a former drug addict and a violent enforcer when it came to collecting drug debts. He’s also described as a recent convert to Islam. Whether this pair tried to copycat the pressurecooker Boston bombings, or another reason, the fact their alleged plot was identified, infiltrated and hijacked by RCMP agents is a testament to why Canada needs intelligence agencies. Organizations like the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), which tipped off the provincial RCMP to the plot, and RCMP anti-terrorism departments, almost always operate behind the scenes to ferret out domestic terrorism. It’s hard to know how many credible terror plots have been halted in Canada. Beyond oil pipeline bombings in the past, police and intelligence agencies have quashed an alleged plot to blow up a Via passenger train between Toronto and New York by two foreign men who supposedly received guidance from al-Qaida agents; and the so-called “Toronto 18” (11 were convicted), a group of young Muslim men who plotted to blow up targets across southern Ontario with fertilizer bombs. The foiled Victoria bombing can be seen as a wake-up call to Canadians that terrorism is a reality in this country, and as analysts have predicted, attacks on civilians are not an “if ” but a “when.” This is also an opportunity for a national conversation on the bounds of domestic surveillance – what will people tolerate to ensure agencies have the resources to keep Canadians safe? – Black Press

Cells of city-filled sludge along dikes I

n the 1970s, a TV video called Keep America Beautiful proved littering was erasing the natural beauty of the U.S. As Iron Eyes Cody canoes down a river strewn with garbage, a tear runs down the Indian’s cheek. Actor William Along the Fraser Conrad (Cannon, a Jack Emberly detective series) then laments, “Some people have an abiding respect for the natural beauty that once was this country; others don’t. People start pollution; people can end it.” This scene fueled recycling programs across North America, and tweaked the conscience of many who’d thrown waste out car windows without a second thought. But, those who don’t care still dump, even in Pitt Meadows, where the Fraser River and majestic mountains meet. It is also where True North Fraser signage – a city driven initiative – promotes local agriculture, tourism, and Pitt Meadows’ commitment to environmental health and sustainability. The scene is less rosy under our dikes and out of view. Take, for example, the one running eastward along the south side of the North Alouette River off Neaves Road. Here, household and industrial garbage floats on the surface of muddy holes that resemble quicksand. These ‘cells’ – 15 feet deep and wide

uestion of the week:

– were built by the city’s public works department to house sludge scooped from irrigation ditches. It’s an alternative to trucking it to official disposal sites, which would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. Taxes are a bone of contention here. But, the dirt and grass also contain garbage, everything you can imagine, and lots of it. Recently, I showed Mayor Deb Walters and council some pictures. One pit held a huge plastic drum with a Vancouver address on it, soap containers, whiskey bottles, soccer balls, scraps of metal, and even an old television. It all floated to the surface after our last heavy rainfall. There would be more that didn’t. How much of this material was toxic? Should this junk be deposited metres away from a salmon bearing stream? At the June 25 council of the whole committee meeting, the reaction was surprise and dismay. “This kind of garbage isn’t acceptable,” said Walters. She’s since asked for a report from staff about the dumping practice. Coun. Bruce Bell told me on the phone earlier that he’d been unaware public works doesn’t faithfully pluck garbage from sludge it dumps at the Barnes or Neaves road dikes. Bell guessed the lax dumping practice had gone on unknown by anyone on council. “Nothing has been written down,” public works supervisor Randy Evans said. “It’s just the way it’s been done. It’s the practice.” What’s missing is clear policy regarding the garbage. Council should get something

Does Maple Ridge need a new fire hall in Albion right now? Yes: 78% – No: 22% (178 votes)

on paper now. Staff needs direction, and the public expects environmental slogans to be honest. As Walters remarked, garbage in the dikes, even if it’s invisible, “is unacceptable.” “We haven’t been doing a very good job of picking that stuff out,” Evans admitted. “I’ve told my crews getting the garbage out is a priority now. We can do better,” he assured me. A week’s gone by. The minutes of last Tuesday’s council meeting are public. Public works will now retrieve foreign debris, including television sets, and soccer balls. Public safety is the other issue. “Two joggers went by in the 10-minute period I was there,” Bell told council. “We should have it [the pits] fenced and improve the signage. Without that, it would be dangerous for children or pets.” Bell gave another reason to clean up the site. “I noted a park bench with a dedication on it. “I can’t imagine someone wanting to pay for one in a place with garbage under it.” At last week’s council meeting, Chief Administrative Officer Jake Rudolf said of the city’s sludge disposal site, “This area is a municipal fill site.” Yes, but, it’s also a place of unbelievable natural beauty. There will always be those who don’t care enough to keep their waste out of ditches. That’s a problem for the city. Burying their mess in our dikes isn’t the answer. – Jack Emberly is a retired teacher, local author and environmentalist.

The News/letters Council can’t function properly Editor, The News: Re: A chill on Maple Ridge council (The News, June 26). I guess Coun. Corisa Bell really struck a nerve this time. From what I’ve read, here’s a basic timeline of the recent events at municipal hall: • Coun. Bell files a complaint with the human resources department, after a June 10 incident involving CAO Jim Rule; • in a letter to Mayor Ernie Daykin, she asks that Mr. Rule be suspended while the complaint is investigated; • in a committee meeting June 17, someone upset someone else and a decision was made, by someone, to sequester the video from that meeting for legal review, to determine whether or not defamatory comments were made. Confused yet? I sure am. As a result, the video has never been posted for public scrutiny. To date, there doesn’t appear to be any progress made regarding Coun. Bell’s original human resources complaint or with the alleged defamation concern, which occurred shortly after. It’s not a big secret that Coun. Bell likes to have all the information before she makes important decisions. It’s also not a secret that she’s not afraid to ask specific questions about controversial topics.

and other reforms are, at their heart, a cry for a more issue-focused (rather than person and personality focused), transparent, fair and equitable vision from our elected representatives. Coun. Bell asks questions as they come up, including the difficult ones. She raises constituent issues. She acts on behalf of the public in public, and this transparency sets her apart. It has also isolated her at the council table. While many of us dream of quantum leap improvements to the political systems representing us, we realize that small, individual efforts to modernize our democracy add up. There is also a personal toll on politicians who challenge the status quo, and it appears that toll is being exacted on Coun. Bell. Municipal councils and boards of education are the birthing and training grounds for a large number of provincial and federal politicians. It’s our responsibility as citizens to ensure this training produces the kind of politician we long for. Citizens have a duty to support the kind of representation they want and not just at the ballot box. Katherine Wagner Maple Ridge

church, nor did her last name place her in the preferential top or bottom position on the ballot. What Coun. Bell did have was a track record of fighting for accountability and fair process around the HST, and a well-articulated vision of the role of a city councillor. Her large purple campaign signs along Abernethy didn’t just work for name recognition, she tapped into the core of voter apathy and scorn for politicians. “Tired of politicians who say one thing and do another?” “Want to know how much our city actually spends on things? Vote for me and find out.” Coun. Bell outlined exactly how she’d behave if elected. She set a high bar and against the odds – there were 27 other names on the ballot – voters rewarded her with a seat and three years to prove herself. Once elected, Coun. Bell could easily have followed the well-worn path of least resistance, and gone along to get along, formed strategic alliances, and played backroom politics. The establishment may argue this is how things get done. Maybe, but that muted background roar is a public fed-up with traditional politicking and unsure how to affect change. Demands for new voting systems

The timing and circumstances of this alleged defamation is highly suspect, given her concerns for prudent fiscal management and the most recent events mentioned above. What are the details surrounding Coun. Bell’s original complaint? Has Mayor Daykin done anything to address or alleviate her concerns? Who made defamatory comments? Who was defamed? Is there a formal complaint regarding defamation? If not, who made the decision to withhold the video from the public and why? All these questions need to be answered before council can function properly again. Sean Orcutt Maple Ridge

Hear the roar Editor, The News: Re: Libel over comments on video ‘unlikely’ (The News, July 3). During the last municipal election campaign, a newcomer to the always lengthy list of Maple Ridge candidates for council caught the interest of voters. Corisa Bell didn’t have the advantage of incumbency, years on the school board, or membership in a political party or a large-ballot-boxsupportive organization like a local

Listen and learn Editor, The News: Re: Libel over comments on video ‘unlikely’ (The News, July 3). The best advice that Coun. Corisa Bell received was to look, listen and learn.

As a new councillor, you are required to vote on issues you don’t know much about. You are allowed to vote against something and have your negative vote recorded with your name and why. In this case, not enough information. This will save you regretting you didn’t ask the right questions at the right time. When you get an agenda, new councillor or seasoned councillor, and have questions, go to the staff member with the information. Waiting till a public meeting is too late as you are asking after the fact. Inform yourself and let staff know you are going to ask a particular question so they can be prepared. From experience, staff do not like to be blindsided at public meetings. Nor should they be. It is a matter of respect for staff and, in return, you will be respected by staff. Coun. Bell has a hard row to hoe in a council that is so overloaded with people in favour of development and are mostly Liberal and Conservatives (in this community, the same thing) and generally kick left-leaning councillors to the curb, no matter what they are talking about. She didn’t stand a chance from the outset. Don’t get discouraged, Corisa. Annette Code Pitt Meadows Editor’s note, both Ms. Wagner and Ms. Code are former school trustees.

“For many years, we’ve been working on getting a multi-institutional post-secondary … that brings the best of what need from all our key sectors together.” The courses will be offered in the Fraser Room in Maple Ridge Public Library, and in a second room in the municipal office tower. The rooms will be converted into BCIT classroom standards. Invest North Fraser wants to offer a range of programs to fill skills gap that exists in the local economy. “This is the first of what we hope will be many great partnerships,” with post-secondary institutes. Blue said Invest North Fraser, a coalition of economic development departments in the three municipalities, also wants to attract universities to offer their programs. High school grads could take the courses as an easy way into BCIT, or local business owners could sign up as a way of improving their own business strategies. “For us, it seems to be a natural fit. BCIT is founded on applied skills that individuals can use right away,” said Joe Freeburn, associate dean, marketing management. Using an existing facility means a pricey new campus isn’t required. “By testing these three courses, we will

Partnering with universities and colleges to address local needs is one of the goals outlined in the local jobs strategy.

BCIT pairs up with Maple Ridge see what the appetite is.” Social media courses in the business context could follow. BCIT and Mayor Ernie Daykin will make the announcement 5 p.m. Tuesday in the Maple Ridge Public Library. Representatives from Pitt Meadows and Mission also have been invited. The courses offered are: essentials in marketing; relationship selling; and smallbusiness development. They are core requirements in many of the Burnaby location’s business programs, such as the Associate Certificate in Marketing and Entrepreneurship. They’ll be offered on different evenings so people can take all three. They’re already included in BCIT’s online calendar. Next year, different courses could be offered. It’s the first major offering of post secondary courses locally. “This is such a great first step,” Blue said. “This is the first one that’s actually bringing some core-curriculum courses.” Blue said BCIT would like to see between 15 to 20 people enrolled in each class. But future courses will depend on demand. If there’s interest, another night could be added. “What happens in the future will really be determined by this first offering.”

Hospital auxiliary busaries handed out

Four local graduates have just received bursaries from the Ridge Meadows Hospital Auxiliary and Health Care Centre. Garibaldi secondary graduate Tyler Blundell, Pitt Meadows secondary grad Ravina Bains, Maple Ridge secondary grad Natalia Gretskaia and Samuel Robertson Technical Secondary grad Alyssa Davies are the recipients of the awards. The annual bursaries, worth $1,500 each, are given to deserving applicants entering a postsecondary institution in B.C. in the health care field. Preference is given to hospital volunteers, with good grades and in financial need.

Tiana Worthy gets some water at a pit stop in Pitt Meadows during 15th Athletes in Kind race on Canada Day.

Canada Day run tops $10,000 Run helps families fighting cancer by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

Athletes in Kind organizers Eric and Lorie Muller sent out an emphatic note to sponsors of their Canada Day eight-kilometre race on Wednesday: “WE DID IT!” The AiK run hit the $10,000 mark for the first time, raising funds that will be given to families struggling financially because of a child cancer

diagnosis. “We always knew that race was a $10,000 race, it was just a matter of time,” said Lorie. The funds go to the B.C. Childhood Cancer Parents Association, which administers the funds on an as-needed basis to parents whose kids are being treated at Children’s Hospital. “This couldn’t have happened at a better time, as I was informed at the event that association has run out of money to help families in need this summer, so we will be providing a lump sum earlier than our usual

Christmas donation,” Lorie wrote to the sponsors. About 290 participants braved Monday’s 30 C heat for the run through scenic Osprey Village in Pitt Meadows, and at least that many more came to watch the event and take part in the city’s Canada Day festivities. Muller said the financial crunch has been a rare event for the association and she heard that

one family with a child from Children’s Hospital had family members who could not visit the young cancer patient, because they could not afford a bus ticket. That is the kind of expense the charity would cover. Lorie likes that the funds raised in Pitt Meadows will benefit families going through crisis in such an immediate way.

This pile driving work will take place along the existing rightof-way between the Pitt River and Middleton Road, north of the Swaneset Bay golf course. It will begin in early July with completion planned by the end of September. Work hours will conform to municipal bylaws.

“It’s a family friendly event that has something for everyone.”

In some areas along the existing right-of-way, due to ground conditions, steel pipes (piles) will need to be installed so that proper foundations can be constructed for the transmission line towers. Installing piles requires the use of a pile driving machine and the process can be noisy and create mild vibrations that may be noticed by those near the work area.

tival over the years to place where we’re seeing lots of people coming from Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest to take in the weekend.” Geese estimates more than 18,000 people make their way to the event, taking in the music, vendors and traditional Caribbean food. The Saturday musical schedule starts at noon and includes Vancouver’s Sugga Cane kicking off the event, as well as Mostly Marley. Barracuda, a Heart tribute band, headlines Saturday night’s event. Geese said the idea of mixing both reggae and rock to the festival is a way of broadening the event’s appeal. He’s hoping he can land Roger Fisher, one of the original members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band Heart, to play at the festival. “That would be incredible. “You don’t get that kind of talent for a festival very often,” said Geese.

Construction work for the new transmission line continues.

THE NEWS/files

The Sunday line-up includes the Vancouver Outreach Community Gospel Choir, The Vancouver Allstars, and headline act Steele, a Jamaican reggae artist who has worked with Stevie Wonder. Geese said besides the great music, the festival has expanded its kid zone this year to make it more attractive to families. • For more information on the festival and the musical line-up, visit www.caribbeanfest.ca.

One city’s loss is another’s gain as Maple Ridge hosts the True North Fraser Bluegrass Festival, Aug. 30 to Sept. 1. The event is being repackaged after the City of Chilliwack and its arts council couldn’t come to an agreement over use of a venue for the weekend event. So after 25 years of bluegrass music wrapping up the summer in Chilliwack, the event makes its way to the Albion Fairgrounds. Rob Hornsey, organizer, said once the word leaked that Chilliwack would no longer host the event, the push was on to find the festival a new home. He said the chance to host such an internationally recognized event was too good to pass up. “The only real question was not if, but where the festival was going to be happen,” said Hornsey, owner of the Bergthorson Academy of Music in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows and long-time bluegrass enthusiast. “The Albion Fairgrounds were the logical and exceptional location. This is a total coup.” The three-day event will feature seven main acts taking centre stage each day, while a secondary stage will be set up for jam sessions. Hornsey said the communal nature of the bluegrass festival is what has made the event so appealing for the past 25 years. While most music festivals see their performers play their set then retreat back to their respected trailers or buses and never to be seen again, the heart of the bluegrass festival is as much based on the music played at the campsites as it is on the main stage. Gord Sadler, an organizer and band member of 5 on a String, agreed, saying the unique nature of seeing top acts jamming “with the great unwashed” is what separates bluegrass festivals from most. “There is so much interaction between the musicians and the audience. There’s a great atmosphere when you see so many people together jamming and sharing

Baby boomers driving Lower Mainland downsizing trend The baby boomers have long been the drivers of trends, and as they age they still make a difference. A new report from Colliers International, commissioned by HJ Properties, shows that many of that generation are considering their options regarding downsizing from their family homes. “The research really surprised me,” says Scott Brown, senior vice-president of residential and commercial marketing services at Colliers International Marketing. “I thought there would be a mass exodus to Kelowna, but that’s not happening.”

Instead, people looking to downsize in the Fraser Valley are considering how to stay in their neighbourhood, have money for retirement and help their children, all in one package. Projects such as HJ’s Waterstone in Langley are thus very appealing to downsizers, Brown says. With larger floorplans and plenty of amenities nearby, buyers of all ages are finding something to love about their new home. “Logic starts to win over magic,” Brown says. “People emotionally want to stay in a single-family home, but as the

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

baby boomers get older, they have different considerations.” One of the largest considerations is security, both of their property and themselves. “Having a neighbour looking out for you is important,” says Brown. “In a multi-family project, you don’t have as many worries.” The report showed that price was the biggest deciding factor for most baby boomers. “You can buy a multi-family home for about $400,000,” Brown says. “That doesn’t get you much in a single-family home.” Brown notes that he did see a difference in how buyers in the Fraser Valley were downsizing versus those in Vancouver itself, adding that Fraser Valley downsizers had retirement higher on their list of priorities. Another big reason the baby boomer generation is buying smaller homes? “I’ve been told that many people are moving into a multifamily home as a defence against their kids moving back in with them,” laughs Brown.

Morningstar home. “They feel more comfortable knowing that someone they know has had a good experience with us,” Calahan says. Partington is perfectly located on Burke Mountain. The neighbourhood has been growing over the years and now includes schools, parks and trails. It is also just a short drive to Coquitlam Town Centre for shopping and dining. You can also find leisure and recreation activities nearby. Sales of Partington will open on July 6 at noon. Interested buyers are encouraged to preregister for more information at www. morningstarhomes.bc.ca. Calahan notes that she’ll send registrants a sneak peek before the start of sales. The sales centre is located at 1508 Dayton Street in Coquitlam. For more information, visit the website or call 604-942-6370.

Partington showcases views on Burke Mountain By Kerry Vital

Morningstar Homes is once again at the top of their game with their latest project, Partington on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain. “It’s really special up here,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “The views are pretty spectacular. It’s like being on top of the

world.” Partington is a collection of 45 singlefamily homes with spacious floorplans and luxurious finishings, including a truly massive kitchen with a granite island and tons of counter space. Hardwood flooring is included throughout the living areas, offset by the 19-foot vaulted ceiling, gorgeous floorto-ceiling linear fireplace and huge windows making the most of the views. “Our Partington homes were designed with incredible views in mind by making the windows the focal point of each home,” says Calahan. “We could not pass up the opportunity to show them off.” The four-bedroom homes are available in three different floorplans, ranging from 3,700 to 3,900 square feet. Each comes with an unfinished basement and a large private yard with a patio or deck. “We always strive to be innovative and offer our purchasers the best,” says Calahan.

“We never tire of trying to better our designs, with each new project being given its own consideration.” Partington is Morningstar’s eighth project on Burke Mountain, following the success of Kingston, Avondale, Somerton and many others. “We were the first to pioneer a community on Burke Mountain,” Calahan says. “They really welcomed us with open arms, and it’s now a highly sought-after place to live.” As the community grows, so does Morningstar’s reputation. “The Morningstar promise is to make everything as seamless as possible,” Calahan says. “Buying a house is one of the biggest purchases of your life. We want to make it as stress-free as we can.” She notes that they now get buyers preregistering who have heard about the homes through word-of-mouth from family and friends and who now want to live in their own

The Provence of Whonnock By Mike Lascelle

ho would have ever predicted that a little English garden background fused with some Indonesian influences would bring about a landscape reminiscent of southern France – but that’s exactly what happened when Guy and Farida Coates created their fiveacre Whonnock destination garden called the Octagon Lavender Farm. It began in 2002 as a custom-built, eight-sided brick home (topped with a cupola), which Guy designed for its natural light and easy access for his wheelchair. He began developing the land by simply clearing the scrub and blackberries, converting it to lawn (which he cuts with his ride-on mower) and planting a few trees (including Katsura, Parrotia or Persian Ironwood and Paulownia), with an eye towards an informal arboretum. Then Farida joined forces with this former librarian and used her horticultural background to suggest that they develop more extensive drought-resistant, or Xeriscape gardens, which is especially important with the typical low water table in summer. The idea of a lavender farm came about as a result of a house-warming gift of three such plants, which seemed to thrive with minimal care. They officially opened in 2008 and are now up to 1,500 plants (including those in the production rows) with 25 varieties of English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and a few cultivars of Lavandin or Lavandula x intermedia (a cross of English and Spike Lavender), including ‘Alba’, ‘Provence’ (which is also good for cooking) and ‘Grosso’. The property here is completely serene, devoid of any traffic noise, and the Coates really appreciate their animal neighbors, including the bears, deer, and coyotes – with the latter being kind enough to

(From left) Guy and Farida Coates; English lavender and thyme planting; Double Poppy and Snapdragon combination.

show up on the day of my interview with them. Beyond the lavender fields and display garden, there are intricate plantings of drought tolerant thymes, yarrow, double poppies, St. John’s Wort and even a few exceptions, such as Honeysuckle

and Bee Balm (Monarda), which Farida likes to grow for the local hummingbirds. All the rain water is put to good use, as it is funneled from roofs, foundation and landscape drains into small swales that drain into a large ornamental pond on the

lower property – which is tapped for irrigation in the heat of summer. They have also built a studio on site, tucked between gardens on three sides. Here, Guy, a self-taught sculptor, and Farida, who works in pastels and charcoals, create and display their artwork, as well as offer the occasional lesson. Which only makes sense, as a Provencal garden would hardly seem complete without a few artists about. In any case, I highly recommend a visit and since they are open until the end of August (10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day), and the lavender is in full bloom, now’s as good a time as any. Guy and Farida were also kind enough to share their recipe for Lavender scones for you budding bakers out there: • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. • Mix two 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp. baking powder, 2 tsp. dried culinary grade lavender buds, ¼ tsp. salt and 1/3 cup

thunder beats Burrards, rematch Sunday Nathan Wadhwani will be running the 3,000m race for Team Canada at the World Youth Championships for athletes under 20, being held in Ukraine in the coming week. Colleen Flanagan/ the newS

Running down a dream nathan wadhwani has logged hundreds of miles a week, and it’s paying off by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

een distance runner Nathan Wadhwani is on his way to Toronto on Saturday, then he will be on to the IAAF World Youth Championships in Donetsk, Ukraine. He’s also likely on his way to an NCAA track scholarship, and, in general, the kid is on his way. Wadhwani is the first athlete ever from Golden Ears Athletics to represent Canada on the international stage in track and field, as he has turned himself into one of the top 3,000m runners in the country in his age group. The youth championships will see the top athletes under 20 from around the globe compete, beginning next Wednesday. If you don’t know him, you’ve probably seen him, as some weeks he runs 70 miles around the community for training. He’s usually running with his brother Isaac, who is 18 months younger and only several seconds less impressive than his big brother. For these guys, a so-called recovery run is five miles (They measure their progress in miles, rather than kilometers). They run “everywhere,” but a popular route for the pair is over the Golden Ears Bridge and back. On days when one would rather stay inside and watch Big Bang Theory, it’s good to have a brother to cajole him into his runners. “It definitely helps having both of us training together,” Nathan said. “We get out the door, and just go.” Nathan likes the challenge of competition – getting his times lower, and ever closer to the highest standards. It’s a mindset that started right away. When he was nine years old, in his first year of track, he achieved placement on the B.C. Athletics “all-time Top 10 fastest times” list in the 1,500m. He still holds down eighth spot

for a time of 5:25.50 at the age of nine. He and his fleet-footed friends have been looking at times and records ever since. “I wouldn’t be doing it if I wasn’t enjoying it,” said Nathan. “Some days it’s tough, but the rewards are worth it.” “It’s a long-term process, and it’s not something you can’t just turn on,” said his coach and father Vid. The boys wear devices which measure the distance they cover, their pacing and their heart rate. That way, Vid can make sure they’re not jogging, but running. To say they train hard is an understatement. Training on the track at Maple Ridge Secondary, it’s not unusual for one or the other to need a brief ‘barf ’ break. “That’s what happens when you train hard,” shrugs Nathan. And lately, he’s been hitting his stride. Nathan’s successes include a B.C. Summer games bronze medal in the 2,000m in 2010. In 2011 he was chosen to represent Team BC at the Legion Track and Field Games in Ottawa. He was a bronze medalist in the 2,000m and silver in the 1,500m steeplechase. In the 2012 fall season for cross-country he placed fifth at the Nike Pre-Nationals in Oregon, racing against some of the top U.S. athletes. He also finished fifth in the B.C. High School Cross Country Championships in Prince George. Most recently he had the run of his life in the 3,000m at the B.C. High School Track and Field Provincial Championships in Langley. He led the race from start and was narrowly edged out by Grade 12 Ben Weir, placing him in second spot by only 4/100 of a second.

That race helped him to achieve the time of 8:35.91 needed to place in the top three for rankings in Canada, and to qualify him for the spot on the World Youth Team. Isaac competed as a Grade 9 last year, and at the B.C. High School championships he won the 1,500m event, and took third in the 800m. Vid said Issac’s training and performances twin those of his older brother at the same age. The rewards are indeed coming – the competition in the Ukraine will be Nathan’s first-ever trip overseas. Another reward will likely be a scholarship to an American university, to run on a crosscountry team. Nathan’s times are already fast enough, with a year of training to come. His father Vid points out that right now Nathan would be ranked among the Top 10 Grade 11 students in America. Nathan also has a A/B average academically, so right now it looks like a full ride could be in the offing. He plans to study business, but has Grade 12 to complete first. Schools haven’t been able to contact him yet, but he’s expecting they will in his grad year. He would love to get an offer from a school in the Golden Sate. “California would be really good,” he says with a smile. The ultimate goal – the summer Games in 2020, which will likely be in Tokyo, Madrid or some new Olympic city. “Obviously, Olympics is the dream.” It doesn’t sound hopeful or naive from someone who is already representing his country on the world stage. Next up, he will be working toward the Canadian championships, which will be held in Langley on Aug. 9. “I’m really proud of everything that’s come this season,” he said. “It took a lot of work.”

After the Maple Ridge Burrards closed to within a goal in the third period, the Langley Thunder responded with four unanswered goals to take sole control of second place in the Western Lacrosse Association on The senior A Thunder — playing with two of their six new players — defeated the visiting Burrards 9-5 on Wednesday (July 3) at the Langley Events Centre. And coupled with a Victoria loss to Burnaby, the Thunder (6-3-2) are two points back off the first-place Shamrocks, with a game in hand. Langley had gone winless (0-1-2) in their past three games. Langley had led 1-0 after one period and were up 5-2 after 40 minutes. The Thunder held Maple Ridge’s Curtis Dickson to a single goal. He leads the WLA with 39 goals and 71 points in 11 games. The two teams meet for a rematch when the Burrards host Langley on Sunday, at 6:45 p.m. at Planet Ice.

Champions go back-to-back The Ridge Meadows Bombers won a regional Pee Wee C softball championship over the weekend at Sunnyside Park in Surrey. Last year, the same group of girls won the regionals at the Squirt level. Pitcher Maddie Schmidt was outstanding all weekend and pitched seven innings in the semi-final to get her team to the final. Hannah Trampleasure pitched awesome all weekend as well, and pitched seven innings in the final to win 10-8 over the Chilliwack Elite on Canada Day. “I am so proud of my team,” said coach Scott Mitchell.

uring the dog days of summer, temperatures can soar and heat can be a problem, especially when exercising. What happens when we sweat, and what are the dangers with heat buildup in the body? Sweating due to hot temperatures and exercise is controlled by the hypothalamus in the brain, where heat-sensitive nerves are located. The function of the hypothalamus is also affected by inputs from temperature receptors in the skin. High skin temperatures reduce the thermostat setting for sweating and amplify the sweat response by dilating the blood vessels near the surface of the skin. You can tell this is happening because the veins on your feet and hands appear to get bigger and all of your skin becomes reddened, flushed with blood. When these capillaries open up, they allow heat to get nearer the surface of the skin and water can then evaporate from the skin. This evaporation has a dramatic cooling effect on the skin and blood. When the humidity is low, that means that heated water will easily evaporate off the skin and releases heat into the air. But there is a big problem when the humidity is high combined with exercise on a hot day. The sweat response is triggered, but water vapour isn’t easily created because there’s so much water vapour in the air already. Water forms at the skin, but doesn’t cool you because there’s little evaporation – the water just rolls off your body. This can cause a build-up of heat, and this can be dangerous, even life-threatening.

When you exercise hard, even at moderate temperatures, you can lose two litres of water per hour – and up to four litres in extreme conditions. Imagine the amount of heat it would take on a stovetop to boil away a pot containing just two litres of water in one hour. That’s an incred- Kinected Kerry Senchyna ible amount of heat, and it’s a great deal of water to lose. Each litre weighs about two pounds, so that’s about four pounds of body weight lost, per hour. If you do not drink that water back, you are asking for severe problems. The blood has less water and becomes more sludgy. That means it can’t move as easily through your heart and blood vessels, doesn’t pick up oxygen as easily from the lungs, nor deliver it to the muscles well. The same goes for all the waste products your muscles produce like lactic acid and carbon dioxide. Less oxygen to the muscles and brain means your performance in your sport starts to suffer – you become uncoordinated, clumsy, light-headed, even disoriented. Even slight dehydration can negatively affect performance. A 200-pound man only needs to sweat away about two to four pounds of water before his performance is hampered. If you keep pushing yourself to exercise in this dehydrated state, the skin will start to reduce blood flow, so the muscles can continue to get blood, but this further reduces sweating and cooling, and

dangerously increases core temperature. This is why people who reach a state of heat-stroke (body temperature reaching 40.6 C or 105.1 F) are hot to the touch with dry skin. Believe it or not, the practice of exercising while wearing a garbage bag in order to (mistakenly) lose weight still goes on. Every so often, you hear a news report about some teenager pushed to play hard in the sweltering heat wearing full football equipment, who dies due to heat stroke. You are not going to lose weight by artificially sweating it away – you’ll gain all the weight back when you drink after your exercise session. Another common belief is that sweating rids the body of toxins – it doesn’t. Sweat is just water, some salts and urea, all common compounds that the body deals with every day. The whole idea of detoxifying is problematic since the liver and kidneys do all the detoxifying we need, thank you very much. To avoid poor performance due to dehydration, heat exhaustion or heat stroke, just remember, it’s best to drink a glass of water about 30 minutes before exercise, drink five to 0 ounces of cool fluid (water or sports drink, but not juice) every 15 to 20 minutes during exercise, then juice or sports drink to rehydrate after exercise. The amount depends on the temperature, humidity, duration and intensity of exercise, but basically drink a litre of fluid for every two pounds lost during exercise. If in doubt, drink more.

It has been a busy week for the female teams in Ridge Meadows Minor Lacrosse. The midget, junior and two bantam teams were in playoffs, vying for spots at the provincial championships. The Bantam 2 team was the first to clinch a position after an undefeated regular season. They faced Langley and won 6-2, which gave them a berth in the Provincials. Bantam 1 lost their first game 5-2 against Port Moody, which forced them to play against two other teams in which they won both games, ensuring a berth also. The midget team went the full distance in their best-of-five series against PoCo with a 4-2 loss after a great effort. Last up was the junior team, which won its bestof-five series against Coquitlam in four games with a tightly fought 2-1 win. Provincials are being held in Coquitlam from July 11-14 for all female divisions.

Vernon Ross Tamke

November 19, 1958 to June 25, 2013 â€œVernonâ€? to his family and â€œVernâ€? to his many friends was born in Maple Ridge, BC, the youngest of four children to parents, Emily (Ross) and Ernie Tamke (both predeceased in 2012). He died unexpectedly at home at the age of 54. He is survived and will be deeply missed and loved always by his sisters, Diane (Scott), Brenda (Garry), and his brother Stephen (predeceased Ellen 2002) (Paula), four nephews, two nieces, five greatnephews, one greatniece, Cousins, Aunts and an Uncle. He will be remembered for his love of all animals and in particular, his beloved, talkative, pretty Ragdoll, Marilyn Munroe, showcat who ran the household. Vernon was a dedicated, long time employee at two different workplaces: the Maple Ridge Municipality where he worked for 37 years as a member of the Survey team; and the Maple Ridge Veterinary Hospital where he worked part-time for a whopping 40 years in a variety of roles, his favourite, being the Gardener and of which he proudly received a Best Business Gardening Award. Vernon was a Canadian Legion affiliate member of 29 years. He loved music and even more, he loved to dance to music and have a good time shakinâ€™ to the rhythm with mandatory maracas to accentuate the groove of his moves, inviting all to join in the party. He enjoyed cooking and spicing things up with natural herbs, had diverse acting roles in community theatre, and was always taking photos of everyone. He cherished his photos. He liked vintage cars and driving his 1967 Beaumont with tunes blasting from the eight-track. Living out on his wild 10 acres with the ravens, salamanders, coyotes, birds, and bears provided a sense of freedom and seclusion, yet he was a socialite. It was fact that anyone could drop by at any time. Everyone was welcome at â€œVernâ€™s Placeâ€? sharing stories and laughs about the past and dream aspirations about the future. He always had a bouquet of flowers for the ladies which he often grew and artistically arranged himself. He was a kind, gentle, trusting, generous, sentimental, loving soul, concerned for others and reknowned for giving frequent compliments which lifted spirits, accentuated by that big bright smile. He was thankful for all that life had given him and loved unconditionally. Vernon had an inherited habit of always being early. And so, it is in his death that he too arrived early; his mortal being taken from us, far too early. Vernon was a man who never forgot what it was like to be a Hammond kid. It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to our good looking Baby Brother. He will be deeply missed by all. A Celebration of Vernonâ€™s Life and Dance Party will be held at the Maple Ridge RCL on Saturday, November 16th, 2013. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made â€œIn Memory of Vernon Tamkeâ€? to the Maple Ridge SPCA @ 604. 463. 9511. Condolences may be sent to www.mapleridgefuneral.ca
