Police believe 23-year-old drowned after slip

by M on i sh a M ar ti n s staff reporter

Neil Corbett/THE NEWS

Dirt ride Kurt Hebel, 12, goes off a jump at the Albion bike skills park on Wednesday. The popular park is a work in progress, with donations to help it along. See story, p16.

The search continues for a woman who fell into a creek Monday evening in Golden Ears Provincial Park.

The 23-year-old was with relatives on a tour of the popular park in east Maple Ridge. She was standing near a waterfall when she slipped and plunged in the rushing waters of Gold Creek around 4:15 p.m.

Ridge Meadows RCMP said her family called 911 immediately after the accident, but the woman could not be located. She is believed to have drowned.

Volunteers with Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue scoured the banks and fast-moving creek for the woman until 11:30 p.m. Monday.

School year ends, dispute continues Summer school classes remain undecided

by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

Picketing teachers lined Lougheed Highway through much of Maple Ridge on Thursday morning – a line that stretched from 222nd Street to the junction of Dewdney Trunk Road.

It was the last day of classes

were to have been in session in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district. The teachers’ strike lopped off the last two weeks of the year.

Maple Ridge Teachers’ Association president George Serra said the union wanted to make a strong public showing on the last day that all members would be on the picket lines.

School may be out, but the acrimonious labour dispute between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government continues unabated.

Summer school may not be available this year.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender asked teachers to end their strike to allow children to attend summer classes, but the union has said it will picket summer school sites, unless the strike ends by Monday.

“It is unfortunate that the BCTF leadership decided to strike summer school,” Fassbender responded. “Their decision today will impact thousands of students and it will do little to bring the parties closer to agree-

The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, which negotiates on behalf of the province, has applied to the Labour Relations Board to have summer school declared an essential service. It would apply to remedial programs for students who failed a secondary level course.

It would not apply to secondary students trying to improve a passing a grade, international students or elementary level courses.

Berry bee biologist backs ban Europe imposed a moratorium on neonicotinoids last year and environmental groups in Canada now want the same here

B

S tor y by Phil Melnychuk

anning neonicotinoid pesticides from use in Canada won’t solve all the problems that are bugging bees, says an SFU biologist who works with blueberry growers in Pitt Meadows.

The effects of the neuro-toxic pesticide are serious enough, however, that Elizabeth Elle now believes it should be stricken from the list of farm chemicals.

Elle was commenting after the release this week of a review that said neonicotinoid pesticides are killing a wide range of insects and are considered “a key factor” in the decline of bees.

The Task Force on Systemic Pesticides was conducted by 50 scientists and reviewed 800 separate studies.

That review confirmed “concerns about the harmful effects of neonics on bees and other pollinators and also highlights serious risks to many other beneficial species, including butterflies, earthworms and birds,” said the David Suzuki Foundation.

Elle, though, says removing the chemical isn’t enough by itself to solve all bee problems. Disease, mites, weather and loss of habitat can all reduce bee populations, which are relied upon to fertilize blossoms, which, in return, produce fruit.

“This is not a smoking gun,” she said.

“There’s not going to be a silver bullet.”

Nevertheless, the effects of neonics are serious enough they should be banned, she added.

In addition to outright killing of bees, the long-term effects of impaired nerve function in bees can hurt pollination because the bees can’t navigate properly and are more vulnerable to disease.

“These effects are not what we usually test for when approving pesticides.”

Last year, Europe imposed a moratorium on neonicotinoids and conservation groups such as the Suzuki foundation, Wilderness Committee and the Sierra Club Canada want the same here.

Neonics were developed in 1991 and brought into commercial use in that decade. Neonics can be applied at the root (as seed coating or soil drench) or sprayed on to crop foliage. The insecticide toxin remains active in the soil or plant for many months.

Farmers liked such qualities because it reduced the amount of spraying and contamination and allowed for safer application.

“Everybody loved neonics. They worked really well,” Elle said.

Another benefit is that when the plants grew from seed, the pesticide was retained within the plant itself. For blueberry plants, the neonics are sprayed on to the leaves.

But no one anticipated that beneficial insects would be harmed by ingesting the

THE NEWS/files

Farmers in Pitt Meadows use bees to pollinate their blueberry crops.

“We do not have prevalent use of neonicotinoids in our industry and have not heard of any difficulty with crops being pollinated.”

Growers who are applying pesticides must follow practices set out by Pesticide Management Regulation Agency.

“There is to be no use of this when bees are in the fields whatsoever. We really rely on bees heavily.”

It’s a question of balance – of controlling pests while preserving bees.

Elle said that wild bees, such as bumble bees, are crucial in pollinating fruit crops because they shake the pollen loose, allowing fertilization, something honey bees can’t do. They can also fly in inclement weather.

Biologists have learned that providing wild or semi-wild areas close to berry fields encourages more bumble bees.

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

A review released this past week found that neonicotinoid pesticides are killing a wide range of insects and are considered “a key factor” in the decline of bees. pesticide when pollinating.

Neonicotinoid pesticides work like other neuro-toxic pesticides, by interfering with the nervous system that affects bodily functions, just as nerve gas affects humans.

“You can see why they work so well then because the plant is poison to anything that would eat it.

“They are absolutely, definitely expressed in the flowers. You take that pollen home and you feed it to your larvae, and your larvae are exposed to neonics,” Elle said.

That works well if it’s a caterpillar looking for a free meal, but not so well if it’s a bee on which farmers are counting to do their job.

“The study definitely shows that we do have evidence now. We have to stop deny-

ing it,” Elle added. “I do think it’s time to ban them.”

By absorbing the chemical, insects lose the ability to learn, to navigate, to return to their hives and don’t pollinate as well.

Elle isn’t calling for a ban on all pesticides. Growers need them. When there are huge sections of blueberries or cranberries, outbreaks can occur.

“My growers, they need pesticides. They need something to use,” she said. “These guys need options. They don’t want to spread something that’s going to hurt pollinators on their farms.”

Debbie Etsell, with the B.C. Blueberry Council, added that farmers rely on a healthy population of bees to pollinate their crops for fruit production.

“If you have a lot of wild bumble bees on your farm, you wind up making more money because you make more fruit.”

Elizabeth Elle, SFU biologist

“If there are more bumble bees, they get more fruit,” Elle said.

“If you have a lot of wild bumble bees on your farm, you wind up making more money because you make more fruit.”

Elle works with only blueberry growers, but said she’d be shocked if cranberry growers in Pitt Meadows were not also using the neonics.

The task force will publish its study this summer in the science journal Environmental Science and Pollution Research.

Maple Ridge This Month MID MONTH UPDATE: JUNE 2014

INFORMED: Albion Water Spray Park Opening A New Type of Water Park to Stimulate the Imagination Join us at 11:00 am on Saturday, June 28 for the official opening of the Albion Water Spray Park nestled amongst the Albion Sports complex. The spray park is made up of several water play activity elements. A water play table with trough and water wheel is activated with a children’s size hand pump. In this activity area children can manage water flow, or manipulate water and sand at the play table. The sand area includes log steppers for further imaginative play opportunities. Three activators allow children to start a water flow sequence from surface pop-its, bubblers from a boulder, a rain umbrella, mister spray hoops, ground sprays and two water cannons. Surface water from these spray devices is collected in a stone lined water channel or runnel that children can manipulate flow with two weirs. The surrounding area is landscaped for families to sit on the adjacent hillside to observe their children’s activities. The weather is getting nicer, and you know you are just itching to try out the water cannons! See you at the grand opening.

ENGAGED: June 30 is the Deadline! Time is Running Out. Is Our Health Care System Important to You? Then we need a few minutes of your time.

One of the things that government organizations need to plan the delivery of services is information, specifically data. This data used to be available as part of the long form Census gathered by StatsCan, but that information is not available anymore. This void needs to be filled, so that Fraser Health can plan for the delivery of services in our community. As our community, and the communities around us, grow and evolve, the needs for health care delivery and services in our community will change, and we need solid data to support these changes.

Last year a survey was launched in the Fraser and Coastal Health regions to get that critical data to help plan for the future of our health care system. In order for the survey to have relevance, we need to get as many people as possible to invest 10 minutes of their time and provide some information. The goal is to get about 1,400 completed surveys in Maple Ridge, and so far we’ve only hit about 56% of the target. We are asking you to invest 10 minutes in our health care system and go to www.myhealthmycommunity. org/survey and help us reach that 1,400 survey goal. Right

‘No final report card for elementary students’ Strike from front

“While the British Columbia Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) has an application before the Labour Relations Board to deem some aspects of summer school an essential service, this would only partially mitigate the impacts from the BCTF’s strike,” noted Fassbender.

The district is waiting for the LRB ruling before deciding whether to cancel summer school.

Some 650 students attended summer school in School District No. 42 last year.

On Friday, the school district released a letter to parents of students in elementary school, outlining that the dispute will mean students will not get their final report cards.

It says in part: “Although the circumstances of this job action have prevented the preparation of term

The Labour Relations Board has not yet ruled on Kanaka Creek elementary. three and final report cards, please know that your child will be assigned to the next grade level for September. All parents/guardians of students who will not be assigned to the next grade level have already been contacted.”

Parents of students in high school will receive different correspon-

dence.

The LRB ruled that grading students in grades 10-12 is an essential service, so they will be graded. Teachers in the Maple RidgePitt Meadows district have been instructed to be generous in their student evaluations for those in Grades 10 and 11. They are to pass

THE NEWS/files

those who are within about three per cent of a passing grade, and similarly to bump up the grades of students who are close to improving their mark.

Board spokesperson Irena Pochop said this is an acknowledgement that students typically “buckle down” and get better grades in the fi-

nal term, but they did not have that opportunity this year, due to the strike.

The board has yet to clarify the report card situation for students in Grades 8 and 9, but the union has stated these students will not be getting marks for the final term.

The board is also waiting on an LRB decision that could declare Kanaka Creek elementary to be a special circumstance, because of its year-round calendar, and allow the school year to continue there.

Otherwise, students there could miss six weeks of classes, and teachers would miss a month more of their pay than their counterparts on the traditional calendar.

BCTF president Jim Iker said Wednesday that the union negotiators will be prepared to work through the summer to get a deal.

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

Bitter dispute Summer school and report cards are the latest casualties in the dispute between the provincial government and B.C. teachers.

Students in grades 10-12 are to see final letter grades by June 30, but most others are unlikely to see the results of their work.

Teachers also refused the government’s offer this past week to drop their pickets for summer school.

And we don’t blame them.

The provincial government has been painting teachers’ contract demands as unaffordable and out of line with what other public section unions recently settled for.

But the HEU and CUPE are lower skill unions than teachers, whose profession is designated an essential service. Teachers have a minimum four years of university education, and live in the most expensive province in the country. They are the second lowest paid group of teachers in Canada.

And earlier this year the B.C. Supreme Court ruled that the provincial government violated teachers’ rights in disregarding negotiated class size limits and that the former did not bargain in good faith.

How much money has the provincial government saved since it began, in 2002, ignoring legislation on class sizes and special needs support? Much of the cost attached to teachers’ current demands is linked to honouring that legislation.

Teachers are currently asking for an eight per cent pay raise over five years, which is peanuts, especially given their responsibility in helping shape today’s youth. But teachers aren’t trying to get rich here.

They are, in the bigger picture, fighting to preserve public education – which in the past two years has seen more than $10 million slashed from the local school district budget alone. School staff have been among the cuts.

What has the B.C. Liberal government done to improve public education? What it has done is create bitterness in public schools, which can’t be conducive to learning.

We want more for our students. We believe education is important. So are our teachers. Treat them so.

Good deed keeping streams clean How far that little candle throws his beam! So shines a good deed in a weary world.

cKenney Creek rises from springs near the hospital, and passes through Along the Fraser culverts under the Jack Emberly Lougheed Highway before swinging south of Dewdney Trunk Road near 206th Street.

When you watch salmon fry dart through pools shared with car tires, beer cans, and oil slicks, you want to perform a good deed for this weary world.

Joe Jurcich, who lives along the stream here, keeps an eye out for household toxins dumped down storm drains, and removes invasive plants like ivy when he’s not monitoring the wood duck nests he’s set in trees. His reward is to count coho fry while watching ducklings parachute to earth and disappear under ground cover.

When Jurcich learned of the ARMS Adopt-a-Stream Project last year, he signed up to mentor his section of McKenney, and recruited neighbors in the cause. That’s a candle throwing its beam outward.

Since then, Joe and ARMS have reduced knotweed along the banks. It’s a bamboolike weed that chokes out everything.

Efforts to restore McKenney broadened this year to a stretch in a greenbelt between

uestion of the week:

Rosewood and Value Village at 207th.

Last summer, local resident Dan Vaughan alerted me to white paint-like substance on the water. Within minutes after I contacted the Maple Ridge fire department – the pollution responders now - firemen were on scene to contain it, lifting manhole covers in vain to track the source. Nothing mops up paint. It’s unclear what it killed.

A week later, Joe and I walked the area, finding trash – broken chairs, toys, tires, car seats, discarded clothing, bikes, social studies and science text books, and a desk – within this home to owls, raccoons, woodpeckers, a crow rookery, and coyote pups. An excellent canopy of maple trees provides insects for fish.

ARMS, recognizing the value of McKenney, offered to clean it up.

On May 28, work began here, then moved into Katzie Slough, at the entrance to Meadowtown Centre under the Golden Ears Bridge.

ARMS manager Greta Borick-Cunningham got help from Bob Richardson of the Fraser Regional Correctional Centre. A six-inmate work crew was deployed to collect garbage.

Randy Van Tunen, of the Maple RidgePitt Meadows parks department, provided a truck to haul away bed frames, headboards, CDs and bundles of newspapers.

Enlightened teamwork retrieved 1,800 pounds of trash, including 10 shopping carts, real estate signs, carpets, chairs, and a set of weights.

ambitious plan to get clean water flowing to restore salmon and trout.

He fished for them as a bullied teenager.

The slough, his safe place then, is a dirty irrigation ditch now.

But Scott vows to change that.

His passion is infectious.

Lina Azeez, of Watershed Watch, supports Scott’s goal. Last month, the pair led 30 folks on a slough tour that ended at the aging Kennedy Road irrigation pump, which grinds up fish entering the Pitt River.

Scott wants it replaced with a new fishfriendly one. It would help turn the slough into a huge producer of wintering fry.

Scott says the pump would cost $6 million – worth it when you consider the boon to a local sports fishery, recreation, and berry farmers, whose crops would be more appealing if fed with clean water.

Scott and Lina are holding a bike tour July 19. Meet at Meadowtown Mall, 5 p.m.

All are welcome.

On June 24, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., ARMS returned to McKenney to remove lamium, another destructive invasive.

Members found a new pile of insulation, candy wrappers, clothing, fast food containers, and empty packs labeled “insulin’.”

A lot of children here would be safer if residents and businesses adopted this creek section.

Later, ARMS returned to Katzie Slough to inventory plants.

Anyone who wants to make another good deed happen for either stream can join ARMS (604-467-6401), or Scott (604-2026484).

A few teacher facts that were overlooked Editor, The News: Re: A brief history of teacher demands (B.C. Views, June 25).

Just a commentary on Tom Fletcher’s column, focusing on the items he left out or misrepresented.

First, he failed to mention that in the past 13 years, teacher salaries have gone up between 24-26 per cent.

By comparison, MLA wages have increased by 41 per cent and the premier’s wage has risen by 65.4 per cent.

Also not mentioned is the fact that the premier’s initial offer to the teachers was a 10 per cent pay reduction.

Similarly, he missed the fact that the only provincial jurisdiction with lower teacher’s wages than B.C. is Nova Scotia, a far cheaper place to live.

He also overlooked the fact that the B.C. Supreme Court has cited Premier Clark’s party for bargaining in bad faith, twice.

As for his assertion of “three months of prime-time vacation,” much of that is taken by courses to up-grade the teacher’s own education - something that Mr. Fletcher might consider seriously for himself.

Dam mortgage is paid off Editor, The News: Re: Ruskin Dam – why rates are rising (The News, June 13).

I continue to be dismayed by the low level of intellect when it comes to the reporting of these massive infrastructure projects.

It seems, for some strange reason, that these articles, such as the one on the re-building of the Ruskin Dam, make excuses for the rate increases we are saddled with, which, we are told, is to pay for the capital cost of these projects.

In 1981, my wife and I took a tour of the W.A.C. Bennett Dam in Hudson Hope, B.C. The tour guide explained the dam cost just short of $1 billion to construct. That construction was funded by increasing our electricity rates for some years.

The dam was paid off in just 10 years.

The problem is, once the project was finally paid for, we received no reduction in our rates, reflecting the fact the project was paid for.

If I buy a house and acquire a mortgage for that home, once I pay off the mortgage, I don’t continue to make mortgage payments.

“If I buy a house and acquire a mortgage for that home, once I pay off the mortgage, I don’t continue to make mortgage payments.”

I would suggest if we have never received any reductions in our electricity rates since 1966, for the many projects built by B.C. Hydro, then there must be plenty of money still coming in with which to cover any present and future re-builds necessary to keep up with demand. That is unless that money has been diverted to the general funds of the government, which has not been accounted for.

Good to see the minister has been cancelling the contracts with the independent power producers.

Wake up, Maple Ridge. We are being robbed by the very same slight of hand when it comes to the downtown core business centre. It should have been paid off by now, or very soon. Yet I see no reduction in my property taxes which would reflect that fact.

I, too, am lazy, greedy teacher Editor, The News: I, too, am a lazy, greedy teacher who wants nothing more than the best for my students, but is being punitively docked wages by a premier who hates me for standing up for their right to a first-class education.

I am a lazy, greedy teacher who is currently pleading with the bank for some mortgage relief for the foreseeable future.

I am a lazy, greedy teacher who will one day soon feel the need to visit the food bank that all of our schools and districts support throughout the year.

I am a lazy, greedy teacher who will do my best to put food on the table for my

three young children this summer with 10 per cent less than nothing since being provoked (again) into going on strike.

I am a lazy, greedy teacher who will be putting items on Craigslist soon to bring in a few extra dollars to pay towards ongoing debts and loans. Anyone want to buy a new(ish) 50cc gas scooter with only 50kms on the clock?

I am a lazy, greedy teacher who wants better resources for our classrooms, not just the ones I purchase with my own money all year.

I am a lazy, greedy teacher who would like to see special needs students better supported in and out of the

classroom.

I am a lazy, greedy teacher whom the general public supports because they know just how lazy and greedy I am when it comes to teaching, supporting, nurturing and raising their precious children, no less precious to me.

I am a lazy, greedy teacher who struggles in his middle-class existence as an uncaring, bullying and anti-democratic government forces an entire class of society to be ground into the dirt while the world watches in horror and disbelief.

I am a lazy, greedy teacher who feels he has to take a stand in order to fight for a

better education for all B.C. children - that’s your children and my own, too.

I am a lazy, greedy teacher trying to fight for better public education funding.

I am a lazy, greedy teacher trying to defend and preserve what was once the noblest of professions.

I am a lazy, greedy teacher whose mind is riddled with painful thoughts about the future of this province.

I am a lazy, greedy teacher.

Sid Siddique Maple Ridge Editor’s note: Sid Siddique is a teacher in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district.

Pulling curtain back on underfunded public schools Editor, The News: When the job action in our schools comes to an end, I am hoping that teachers, parents, trustees and all citizens continue speaking out about the underfunding of our education system in B.C. I want to urge everyone to continue getting involved, speaking up, speaking out, and advocating for more funding within the system.

It feels like we are living in a Wizard of Oz version of an education system. When you take a quick look, everything seems polished and flashy, but when you pull back the curtain, you can see all the slight of hand at work.

Perhaps it’s time we, educators and parents, stop contributing to all the special effects and hold the government accountable for what the reality is.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what I do, as a teacher, to contribute to the false image of our school system

and I’ve come up with a few things I plan to do and stop doing in the fall: • I will talk openly with the parents of the students I teach about what supports our classroom receives and what supports their child is entitled to; • I will not spend my family’s money in the classroom; • I will not expect myself to return marked assignments and tests the very next day at the expense of spending time in the evening with my own family • similarly, I will limit the hours I work on weekends.

Like so many teachers, I am also a parent. I’ve attended PAC meetings at my daughter’s school for the past six years and am continually impressed with the amount of volunteer time parents put in for fundraising, holding special events, and making the school a special place to be.

However, I have to admit I

am conflicted by this.

Parents mean well and have nothing but the best of intentions. But the money parents funnel into the underfunded school system contributes to the Wizard of Oz education system we are living in.

What would happen if we said ‘enough is enough.’

What if we only fundraised for fun ‘extras,’ and not the things that should be expected within a school?

It would be an impossible choice to make, as we all want the best for our children.

I know my daughter’s school would look entirely different if you took away all the things the PAC fundraised for: • $25,000 worth of less technology within the past two years (no projectors, iPads, TVs, speakers); • $7,500 worth of less books in the library; • $150 less per classroom for purchasing special sup-

plies (for a total of $3,750); • no updated computer lab; • no outdoor basketball hoops; • no outdoor play equipment for recess and lunch; • no special art supplies for things like Christmas, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day projects; • no sound system for assemblies and presentations in the gym; • no curtains for the stage.

Eventually, students will return to school, teachers will go back to work, and the letters to the editor regarding the current labour dispute will stop.

I am begging every individual who believes our children deserve a quality education to keep talking about underfunding in our education system.

Keep pulling the curtain back and hold our government accountable.

Renewed call to regulate police dogs Maple Ridge man suing RCMP, wants changes to training

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

Dog bites, not bullet wounds are the top source of injuries caused by police forces in B.C., a new report reveals.

The study released Thursday by the Pivot Legal Society found that, on average, a person in B.C. is bitten by a police dog every other day.

Between 2010 and 2012, there were 490 people bitten and injured by police dogs “Unlike other police impact weapons, such as fists and batons, police dogs are unique in their tendency to inflict devastating and permanent injury,” said Douglas King, a lawyer with Pivot Legal Society who penned the report. “We should not be viewing them as friendly ambassadors of policing, but as potentially deadly weapons.”

The Pivot Legal Society interviewed dozens of individuals over the past three years to determine who is being affected by police service dog bites and under what circumstances they were injured.

In 2013, Pivot sued the RCMP on behalf of Bill Evanow, a Maple Ridge man who was seriously injured by a police dog in March 2011 after being mistaken for a suspected car thief.

The dog tore through Evanow’s thigh muscle, leaving behind a divot the size of his fist.

Evanow was offered a $20,000 settlement, but continues to pursue legal action because he wants restrictions on how the dogs can be deployed and changes to the way dogs are trained.

“Our goal is to effect change,” said Evanow.

“I don’t want to keep hearing about these incidents on the news. It’s out of control.”

Other victims interviewed by Pivot, such as Andrew Rowe, reported excessive force being used by police service dogs. Rowe lost his left ear and part of his hearing after a police dog attacked his head while he was on the ground.

Rowe had already been arrested for shoplifting and maintains that officers released the dog on him on purpose.

“I will have these scars and injuries for the rest of my life, and every three to five years I will need surgery just to try

Bill Evanow spent 10 days in hospital after a police dog attacked his leg in 2011. and maintain what little hearing I have left,” says Rowe, who has recovered from problems with addiction and now operates his own business.

The report found that the use of police service dogs is largely unregulated in B.C., with some departments reporting far more bites than others.

Vancouver was responsible for nearly 22 per cent more bites than all other regions combined, and its dog squad was responsible for 80 per cent of all police dog bites in urban areas.

Saanich and New Westminster, for instance, train their dogs to “bark and hold,” a technique that has resulted in sig-

nificantly lower rates of police dog bites.

A working group was established by province last year with the goal of establishing provincial standards for police dogs.

Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton confirmed Thursday that the province is in the process of finalizing provincial standards.

“Police dogs are an important, effective policing tool – but like any ‎tool, they must be used consistently and effectively,” said Anton.

“Common standards will help to ensure this, and to develop them, my ministry set up the Police Dog Working Group that has engaged both senior police managers and non-police stakeholders in an advisory capacity. Use of force is a priority for developing policing standards in British Columbia, and that includes those governing police dogs.”

Instead of traveling to the main detachment in Maple Ridge, officers in Pitt Meadows will be able to process the requests locally.

The machine has been ordered but RCMP said a backlog means it will be a few months before it arrives in Pitt Meadows.

Partly funded with a federal Community Infrastructure Improvement grant of $242,750, the $1.4-million renovations have transformed the formerly cramped Pitt Meadows space into a fully functioning office for RCMP. The renovations expanded the 1,480-square-foot office by 2,100 sq. ft. by adding interview rooms and a space for Breathalyzer tests.

The renovations are almost complete and RCMP will move back in the next few weeks.

Rapid bus could go to Langley instead Regional plan has Maple Ridge option

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin says that Maple Ridge wasn’t ignored when TransLink’s Mayors’ Council created its transportation vision.

Improvements to West Coast Express and introduction of a B-Line, or Rapid Bus service are two examples cited by the mayor.

But there’s a little word that could have big consequences for Maple Ridge, which could be left out of Rapid Bus service.

In the section outlining transportation proj-

Contributed

Rapid Bus is meant to be a quick, reliable connection to the Evergreen SkyTrain line. ects in the northeast sector, which includes Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge, the plan holds out the B-Line service as a “faster and more reliable connection” to the Evergreen Line.

But it gives two routes,

one would run from Coquitlam Centre – the terminus for the Evergreen Line – to downtown Maple Ridge.

Or, says the plan, a B-Line route could just run from Coquitlam Centre to Langley, over

the Golden Ears Bridge.

That would leave downtown Maple Ridge with no Rapid Bus of B-Line service.

Daykin says he has no idea how the either-or scenario, in which Langley’s gain would mean Maple Ridge’s loss, got into the plan.

And it’s not fair, he added.

“I’ll fight tooth and nail on that one,” he said.

“I don’t know where that came from.”

Langley already has bus service over the Port Mann Bridge, he pointed out.

The new express bus service from the Carvolth park and ride over the bridge to Braid station is already at 70 per cent capacity, he added.

Maple Ridge has plan to ease housing crunch staff reporter

Consultant Noha Sedky told council earlier this month that the District of Maple Ridge is ahead of many cities in that it led the way in allowing detached garden suites to be built in a backyards so homeowners can provide cheap housing for renters or seniors.

However, few applications for such suites have come into the district, so it should review the bylaw to see what are the problems. As well, garden suites should be allowed on second storeys of garages, says the new Housing Action Plan.

The plan is in draft form and lists several tactics that Maple Ridge can undertake to make housing more affordable in Metro Vancouver.

For one thing, the district could open itself up to create more types of housing, such cottage housing, container housing and pre-fab homes. Container housing are homes that have been converted from shipping containers to provide compact accommodation in creative ways.

Affordable housing can be helped in other ways, as well, such as ensuring rental housing meets standards, creating incentives for medium-density developments, and requiring developers to ensure some of the units they provide are adaptable for those with disabilities.

Another tactic is for the district to support non-profit housing projects such as Alouette Heights, where the district provided the land while B.C. Housing fi-

nanced the supportive housing project.

Other ways to increase a cheaper housing supply is with money.

Density bonusing, in which builders pay the district more for the extra lots created, if they increase the number of units to the next level

of density, should be expanded, says the plan.

Another way to encourage new housing would be to waive fees or property taxes for a certain period, with projects fast-tracked in the permitting process.

Relaxing parking requirements also could

encourage builders.

But it’s up to the district to decide which measures will be focused on, said Sedky.

This week’s feature:

More support required to run for council seat

Luxury compact utilty…

Lincoln MKC

New bylaw requires 10 nominations

DrivewayCanada.ca

Carrier of the Week

by P hil Mel nyc hu k staff reporter

It’s going to be tougher to get your name on the ballot to run for one of those $43,000 part-time jobs on Maple Ridge council.

Other the other hand, it could be easier to vote, thanks to changes to municipal election laws made by the province.

Chief election officer Ceri Marlo said the number of days people can vote at advance polls before the Nov. 15 civic election could increase from the present two days following council’s OK of the General Local Government Election Bylaw.

The bylaw received

Aliyah A.

receives 2 complementary Teen Meals for continuous great service to our readers.

4 LOCATIONS

three readings Tuesday.

As well, if the bylaw gets fourth reading and is adopted at a future meeting, it will be tougher to get on the ballot.

Instead of only two supporters signing a candidate’s nomination form, now he or she will have to collect 10 names.

The effect could be to reduce the number of candidates in the election. During the 2011 campaign, 28 people ran for one of the six spots on council.

Increasing the number of nominators to 10 will also bring Maple Ridge into line with the City of Pitt Meadows requirements.

Four-time municipal candidate Graham Mowatt likes that.

“Great idea,” he said Tuesday.

And he’d like to bol-

ster them even further.

Mowatt proposed Tuesday that candidates be required to put up a $100 deposit, as allowed under the legislation. If candidates receive less than 50 per cent of the number of the winning vote, they then forfeit that deposit, with the proceeds going to the Friends in Need Food Bank.

He also suggested that council add referendum questions to the ballot as a way of increasing voter interest and turnout.

People could even submit such questions and the most popular ones could be added to the ballot.

“To me, what a neat way for a new council to get an idea of what people want.”

Mowatt has tried three times for a seat on council and is current-

ly running for mayor against incumbent Ernie Daykin, Coun. Mike Morden and newcomer Tyler Shymkiw.

He wanted council to table the bylaw until the fall to allow enough time for people to make other suggestions about how to improve voter turnout.

“You’re trying to get people to participate.

Well, at least give them a bit of time to do so.

What’s the rush?”

Marlo said last year, voter turnout in Maple Ridge was about 25 per cent, and that wasn’t the lowest in the Metro Vancouver area.

This year, 53,745 people are eligible to vote in Maple Ridge’s elections.

Another change to municipal elections requires candidates to file their campaign disclosure forms within 90 days of the election, in-

stead of the current 120 days.

Those forms now must be sent to Elections B.C., rather than filed with municipal hall.

Councillors will also be running for fouryear terms rather than three-year terms.

Maple Ridge wants to increase voter turnout and has launched an advertising and social media campaign, giving candidates the chance of submitting a picture and brief profile, which the district could put on its website.

Candidates for municipal and school board elections will have to register with Elections B.C. and report donations of $50 or more.

However, campaign spending limits won’t be implemented until the subsequent election, four years from now.

Public Notice Lawn Watering Regulations Effective June 1 to September 30, residential lawn sprinkling hours are restricted between 4:00 am to 9:00 am. That is when the least amount of water used on lawns will evaporate.

Neil Corbett/THE NEWS

Kurt Hebel, 12, gets some air at the Albion bike skills park.

Finishing touches on bike skills park

by Neil Corbet t staff reporter

The finishing touches are being put on the Albion Mountain Bike Skills Park this summer.

The popular park, located at 10248 Jackson Road, was mostly built last year.

The site has been a hit with riders who go there.

Wednesday, 12-yearold Kurt Hebel and five of his friends were fearlessly hitting the big drops, bombing down the slopes and getting big air off the jumps.

“I love it,” said Hebel.

“I hope they keep working on it.”

The soil to build the jumps was excavated from nearly Albion Sports Complex, where the byproduct of improvements left a lot of material.

A team from EPS Parks, led by Cory Derpak, moulded the dirk into jumps and pathways at the skills park

WHEN YOU MAY SPRINKLE YOUR LAWN: Residential Addresses: • Even-numbered addresses may sprinkle lawns from 4:00 am to 9:00 am on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday • Odd-numbered addresses may sprinkle lawns from 4:00 am to 9:00 am on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday • Residential addresses may NOT sprinkle on Friday.

Non-Residential Addresses: • Even-numbered addresses may sprinkle lawns from 1:00 am - 6:00 am on Monday and Wednesday • Odd-numbered addresses may sprinkle lawns from 1:00 am - 6:00 am on Tuesday and Thursday • Non-residential addresses MAY also sprinkle from 4:00 am - 9:00 am on Friday.

Newly turfed or seeded lawns may be irrigated more frequently, provided a written permit stipulating conditions is first obtained from the Engineering Department. The cost of the permit is $30 for a three week period and is renewable once.

• Watering of flowers, shrubs and vegetable gardens is not affected by the regulations at this stage.

• Car washing using a hose equipped with spring loaded shut-off device is permitted.

• These restrictions do not apply to nurseries, golf courses, sport fields, and parks at this time.

By conserving water now, we will help save water and reduce the risk of more severe restrictions. Remember, your lawn only needs about 1-inch of water (about 1 hour of sprinkling) per week to stay healthy.

site. They worked with local mountain bike enthusiasts in designing the course.

Epic Homes, a developer building in the community, donated $5,000 to the project.

A second phase of the project got underway in the spring, with volunteer work parties polishing up the project.

Ryan Connolly, general manager of Epic Homes, presented Mayor Ernie Daykin with a second cheque for $5,000 at a celebration event at the skills park last Saturday, bringing the builder’s contribution to $10,000.

The donation will allow the local bike community to complete some essential park elements. Priorities include launch ramps, small wooden bridges, a start box, entry gate and signage.

The district also secured a grant by CN Eco Connections to plant at the site this fall. Volunteers will bring native trees and shrubs to the site on Oct. 5, as part of TD Tree Days by TD Bank.

“More and more we see this kind of investment from community members in creating our parks. We are grateful for the generous donation from Epic Homes and the many hours that mountain bike enthusiasts have given to this project,” said David Boag, director of parks and facilities. “It is this kind of collaboration that creates a great park and a great community.”

Long days spent riding the waves or diving to the deepest depths of the ocean can tone the body and give it a sun-kissed glow. But a few parts of the body may pay the price for time spent enjoying the sand, surf and other elements of summer.

Hair Saltwater, chlorine, ultraviolet rays, and hot, humid weather can certainly wreak havoc on hair. Healthy, beautiful hair requires protection and a few changes to your normal grooming procedure.

• Swim cap: They may look like something your grandmother would wear, but nothing protects the hair and scalp from environmental effects better than a swim cap.

• Sunscreen: Sunscreen is not just for the body. Certain formulations are designed to be sprayed on the hair and scalp. Additionally, certain shampoos and conditioners may protect hair from UVrays, providing further defense against the sun.

• Conditioner: Dryness and breakage is common when hair is damaged. Deep conditioning can restore some vitality to hair that has been dried out by the sun and surf. In addition to weekly conditioning treatments, apply a leave-in conditioner to the hair prior to going to the beach or in the pool. This conditioner will offer another layer of protection.

• Baking soda treatment: Some of the chemicals in pool water, namely

copper algaecides, can tint blonde hair green. To combat this, rinse hair with a mixture of spring water and a teaspoon of baking soda to thoroughly clean away chemical residues.

• Overprocessing: It may be better to wait until the summer season is over before utilizing chemical processes at the salon. Coloring, getting a perm or straightening hair may compromise already taxed tresses.

Feet Open-toed shoes or even walking barefoot is popular come summertime.

But strolls in the sand or around town can cause dangerous or uncomfortable conditions to the feet if cautions is not taken.

• Microorganisms: Warm, damp conditions can create a veritable breeding ground for the microorganisms that lead to plantar warts, athlete’s foot, ringworm, and other infections. Closed-in shoes will provide protection against these organisms.

• Sunburn: People often overlook their feet when applying sunscreen.

Spending long hours in the sun can expose the feet to the same harmful rays that are baking other areas of your body.

• Support: Some summer shoes tend to be flimsy and lack support. Always look for shoes that provide good sole and ankle support.

The search is on to find entertaining ways to fill the steamy dog days of summer. After days spent swimming in the pool or at the beach, adults and children alike may be looking for something new, and water parks are an ideal way to spend a summer afternoon. Such parks are not only adventurous, but they also make great ways to cool off when the mercury soars.

• Double-check the weather report before making the trip so that your time and money is well spent.

• Visit when the park is unlikely to be busy.

Many parks are very busy during the summer, especially on the weekends when parents are not at work. So families who visit during the week might enjoy a less crowded park, which means shorter lines to get on the rides. Call ahead to inquire if any camps or large groups are scheduled to visit the park on a day you want to visit.

• Research coupons and discount codes.

Search the Internet to find out if the water park is offering any discounted tickets.

• Measure the kids before you embark. Rides may have height restrictions. It is beneficial to understand these height limits so that you will know if your kids will be able to enjoy most of the attractions. In many parks, 42 to 48 inches is the magic number. Some parks may allow shorter, younger children to ride when accompanied by an adult. If your kids are too small, it may be better to wait until next season when they can enjoy more of the fun.

• Get to the park early to avoid parking miles away from the entrance.

Water parks are a summertime staple. With a few tips, visiting a water park can be a safe and memorable outing.

• Choose brightly colored or patterned swimsuits so kids will stand out in the crowds. This will make it easier to keep them in your sights.

Similarly, wear something that makes it easy for your children to find you should they get lost.

• Bring along a change of clothing. Sitting around in a damp bathing suit, especially on the long car ride home, can be uncomfortable.

• Be sure to wear waterproof sunscreen and apply it continuously throughout the day to protect against painful skin damage.

• Study and explain the safety rules. Water parks are frequently crowded, and children who wander off can easily become lost. As a family, go over safety precautions, including what to do in the event someone gets lost.

Children can go to a park employee or a security guard and ask for help. Establish a meeting spot to enable everyone to gather together in the event of an emergency.

How to keep kids entertained all summer long When school lets out for the summer, many parents are left searching for ways to keep children entertained in the ensuing months.

Summer vacation often starts with high expectations. Children are excited about the prospect of fun days outdoors playing with friends, while parents anxiously await relaxing months without the responsibilities of school and extracurricular clubs. But once summer vacation arrives and the first few days have passed, parents often find that the litany of cheers and giggles transform into a chorus of “I’m bored.”

Many parents pore over ideas that will keep their children busy throughout the summer.

Many activities that come to mind tend to be expensive, so if cutting costs is a priority, parents might need to think outside the box to come up with entertaining ideas that won’t break the bank.

Camp Summer camp is a popular way for kids to spend their summers, but many camps are expensive. Overnight camps can cost anywhere from $325 to $780 a week. Day camp fees may be $100 to $275 per week.

Parents looking for an alternative to costly camps should consider local programs that offer summer activities. Libraries, schools and childcare centers may have programs that run the length of summer and are considerably less expensive than more formal camps.

Day Trips If a parent is off for the summer, then day trips may be a possibility. Schedule a few day trips

to different locations that the kids are excited to see. Some parents purchase season passes to amusement parks and take the kids several times over the summer. In either case, bring snacks and lunch from home when possible to keep costs in check.

Kid Swap Chances are many of your neighbors are also facing the same difficulties as they try to find ways for kids to spend their summer afternoons. Parents can get together and set up a schedule for entertaining the kids. For example, one parent is responsible for the whole lot one day, while the next day another parent takes a turn.

Fun Projects Children often want to feel useful, and may enjoy the responsibility of some easy tasks in and around the house -- so long as the tasks are fun. Washing the car with a hose and a bucket of sudsy water is a fun way to cool off during the hot summer days and get a chore done.

Set aside a patch of the yard that children can turn into their own personal gardens. Encourage digging in this area and provide seeds or seedling plants as well as kid-sized gardening tools. Each day the kids can check on the progress of their gardens.

Some home-improvement and craft stores sponsor free learning activities for children.

They can be held in the morning or afternoon and will teach interesting skills that can be put to use again at home.

“Come down and join in the festivities,” said Coun. Dave Murray Tuesday, reminding residents that a packed day of fun kicks off at 8 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m. in Spirit Square.

This year’s festival will begin with a pancake breakfast cooked up by Pitt Meadows Lions Club. Work off the calories by signing up for Athletes in Kind’s annual charity run or shoot a ball with volunteers from Pitt Meadows Community Association during a three-on-three hockey tournament.

The Lions will serve pancakes, sausages and juice for $4 – cash only.

Spirit Square will be the centre of activity with booths featuring arts, crafts and games.

Don a period costume and snap a picture at the centennial photo booth.

Live entertainment begins at noon with bluegrass band Five On A String.

The Hockey Day tournaments will require pre-registration. If people do not have a prearranged team, there will be the option of dropping in, and joining in with incomplete teams of players of the same birth year.

To register email hockeyday@gmail.com, with the subject: Hockey Day Registration It costs $5 per player, payable upon check-in.

All proceeds go to support a local child to play hockey.

Pitt Meadows is almost half a century younger than Canada, which marks 147 years since confederation this year.

As you might expect, the 2.0L engine gets better fuel economy, but the difference is minimal and both can run on regular grade fuel.

All the latest driver-assist technologies are available with MKC including, adaptive cruise control, a collision warning system, blind-sport alert, cross-traffic alert and park assist, with a unique new wrinkle... park-out assist. This added feature can now autonomously steer that MKC out of that tight parallel parking spot into which it put the MKC! Lincoln may be a little late in joining the booming compact luxury utility club, but the MKC is certainly an impressively well put-together new member and it’s priced to sell.

Bob McHugh in his review of the Lincoln MKC reveals there is a new technology called “park out assist” which gets your vehicle out of the tight parking sport that the “park assist” shoehorned you into!

Is this kind of technology in danger of diminishing a driver’s control skills?

Premier living at Polygon’s Kingston House Heritage-style elegance is at top of mind at Polygon’s Kingston House, a collection of two-bedroom apartment residences in a master-planned community that is inspired by an Ivy League legacy.

“You can move in this summer,” says sales manager Judy Rohatyn. “With payments from $899 a month, this is a great opportunity for first-time buyers to purchase a home in the South Surrey market.”

Kingston House is the first apartment collection at Polygon’s Harvard Gardens, a master-planned community that is also

close to top schools, golf courses, shopping and dining.

“There’s nothing like this anywhere else,” Rohatyn says.

“Many parents of first-time buyers recognize the great value and are bringing their kids to Kingston House to assist them in buying their first home.”

The homes at Kingston House are spacious and inviting, with over-height ceilings on the main and fourth floor, generous patios or covered decks, and huge windows. Engineered stone countertops in the kitchen are complemented by flat-panelled cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. Rich wood laminate

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

flooring is featured throughout the main areas, with lush carpeting in the bedrooms. Spa-like bathrooms have designerselected imported porcelain tile flooring, engineered stone countertops and a contemporary patterned hand-set ceramic tile tub and shower surround with marble and glass mosaic tile accents. The master ensuite adds another touch of luxury with dual porcelain undermount sinks (most plans) and polished chrome accessories.

Outside, the architecture is inspired by the East Coast, with brick cladding, natural wood soffits and black metal detailing.

Homeowners at Kingston House will also have access to The Rowing Club; a private residents-only clubhouse featuring over 9,000 sq.ft. of resort-style amenities such as an outdoor pool and spa, gymnasium, fitness facilities, a screening room and other amenities. A resident concierge will be available to assist with your every need, and two fully furnished suites are available for out-of-town guests.

Two-bedroom homes start at $259,900. For more information, visit by the presentation centre at 152nd Street and 32nd Avenue, open 12 to 6 p.m. daily except Fridays, call 604-541-8092, or visit polyhomes.com.

The Cottages at Seabright Farm are located just minutes from the Lower Mainland, but you’ll easily be able to put your worries aside at your historically inspired cottage in a gorgeous ocean-view location. Tons of amenities are just around the corner, including the Point Roberts Marina.

Feeling the breeze at The Cottages at Seabright Farm

By Kerry Vital

The Cottages at Seabright Farm is the largest and newest residential project in Point Roberts. Construction recently started, and Lower Mainland residents are flocking to it to purchase their own private piece of paradise.

“You can purchase an ocean-view cottage for less than the price of an average condominium in Vancouver,” says Wayne Knowles of Orca Shores LLC, the project’s

developer.

Seabright Farm is comprised of 58 lots spread across 62 acres of gently sloping south-facing waterfront. The large lots (1/4 to 1/2 an acre) offer privacy along with the great views and are located in three distinct zones: the Bluff, the Meadows and the Woodlands. Seabright Farm will also have a barn/community centre, greenhouse, outdoor swimming pool and hot tubs, sauna, community vegetable and flower gardens,

and orchards. The trails are perfect for running, cycling or horseback riding, and offer direct access to the beach. Because of both the elevation and south slope of the entire property, you’ll find a gorgeous view no matter where you purchase.

The cottage plans range from 850 to over 2,500 square feet, in a variety of two-or-morebedroom floor plans. The styles include open floor plans, stone fireplaces, sunny window seats, hardwood flooring, large relaxing decks and covered porches. All of the plans give owners the option to expand their cottages in the future, whether it’s with a guesthouse, a studio or a separate master suite. Covered decks and breezeways can be built between the buildings, and garages (complete with guest suites) or potting sheds added to truly make your Seabright cottage your own.

The cottage designs have been specifically developed to reflect the historical summer cottages and simple farm buildings typical of Point Roberts.

That character is obvious when you visit the sales centre, which is actually an original farmhouse from the 1890s that’s been outfitted with finds from garage sales and Pottery Barn. It will become an additional gathering place for Seabright owners, along with the barn-themed community hall that will be used as a venue for neighbourhood

gatherings, art shows for local artists, cooking demonstrations, musical performances and wine tastings, among many other things!

And beyond Seabright Farm, Point Roberts has plenty of other things to do, whether you’re staying for a month, a week or just a weekend. Play a round of golf at the 18-hole Point Roberts Golf and Country Club, or pay a visit to the Lighthouse Marine Park to see Orca whales, comb the beach or go clamming or crabbing. The 275-acre Lily Point Marine Reserve is just around the beach corner from Seabright Farm, and features sandy bluffs and tidal flats. The full-service Point Roberts Marina has over 900 slips and is also only minutes away. The Point’s unique restaurants and eclectic shops round out the experience.

Canadians looking to purchase a cottage at Seabright Farm will be able to secure attractive long-term financing through a U.S. banking institution with 20 per cent down, and a Real Estate Disclosure Statement has been filed in British Columbia.

With the opening of the South Fraser Perimeter Road earlier this year and plans to build a new bridge to replace the tunnel on Hwy 99, getting to Point Roberts is becoming that much more convenient from all parts of the Lower Mainland.

The pricing at Seabright Farm is also exceptional, with lots starting at $180,000 U.S., while cottage and lot combinations start at $399,000.

Air conditioning all about comfort

S

McMynn notes the new AC units are becoming more reliable because they’re better made, to the point that companies are now willing to offer five- and 10-year warranties, whereas one year used to be the standard.

Cost-wise, the prices are also coming down, according to the owner of Big Valley, who says a system that can handle a 2,000 to 4,000 square foot home should cost somewhere between $4,800 to $6,700, if done by a company with all the appropriate credentials.

As noted earlier, pretty much any home can be outfitted with AC thanks to technology that has entered the North American market in the past five years – specifically something called Ductless Mini-Split technology.

These units are used in homes that don’t have ductwork, but are instead heated using hot water or electricity. The Mini Split systems use heat pumps and piping that runs outside of the home to unobtrusive, wall-mounted cassettes located inside. These systems have made a huge difference for lots of homeowners.

While this list is not complete, McMynn says these are some of the things you’ll want to talk about with your local HVAC specialist if you’re considering AC this summer.

By Robert Prince

o the word is we’re in for another scorching summer this year, which means air conditioning will be top of mind for anyone who prefers to stay cool when the sun is hot, hot, hot.

Ron McMynn of Big Valley Heating and Sheet Metal, says air conditioning is primarily about comfort for most people.

However, for some folks – those with mobility issues who can’t always chase down a cool breeze or go to the beach for a swim – AC can be a near necessity when it comes to getting through a particularly warm summer.

Thankfully, pretty much any home can be fitted up with air conditioning, says McMynn.

Some might require a bit more work than others, but the end result will be a much more comfortable summer.

As always, McMynn starts his advice by warning homeowners against fly-by-night operations that are unlicensed, uninsured, don’t carry workers compensation, and don’t have qualified personnel doing the work.

“I say it because it’s important if you want to be happy with the end result,” he adds, noting a good part of his business over the years has involved fixing other contractors’ mistakes for homeowners who thought they were getting a good deal.

So how do you know whether the company you’re talking to knows its stuff when it comes to air conditioning? McMynn has a few thoughts on the subject.

For starters, ask for the appropriate credentials. If the company can’t provide them up front, talk to someone else.

Next, consider the size of your home; the rule of thumb for AC, says McMynn, is one ton of cooling for every 1,000 square feet.

You need to size your AC system for the ductwork that is currently in your home.

“People tend to think bigger is better,”

Bigger is not always better when it comes to air conditioning units.

he says, which is a problem when someone comes in and tells them they can put a fourton system in a house even though the duct work is only capable of handling a two-ton system.

This creates an inefficient system that won’t work the way the homeowner is expecting it to, and wastes money.

After all, he says, it’s not as big a problem as it might seem if your home is larger than the AC system you install. If the system is sized properly for the ductwork, it is possible to keep a house cool even if the system is smaller than might be called for.

For instance, a smaller system can generally keep a larger home pretty cool if the homeowner follows some common sense

suggestions, like drawing the curtains or blinds on the south side of the house, starting the AC up in the morning to take advantage of the cooler night air, then letting it run all day instead of firing it up when the house is at peak heat. Also, keeping the doors and windows closed is critical to keeping the cool air in.

If your house has a furnace, a good point to consider is the age of the unit. Anything more than 15 years old likely won’t be able to handle modern AC units, so make sure you ask the estimator whether your furnace is capable of handling it before you purchase.

If it isn’t, you’ll likely have to purchase a new furnace, but the key is to know up front rather than getting a rude surprise later.

Robert Prince is a freelance writer who lives in Maple Ridge.

Inspection time If you already have air conditioning, like a furnace, it requires maintenance.

Ron McMynn of Big Valley Heating and Sheet Metal says it probably requires more regular attention than your furnace.

An annual inspection and tune-up is important to ensure parts are working properly, and are clean. But it’s vital that the filter is cleaned or changed every couple of months to keep the unit working efficiently.

A plugged filter means the unit won’t work properly, which means you wont’ be happy with the way it runs, nor with the break downs that might result.

Goaltender gets under-18 tryout

by Neil Corbet t Black Press

Neil Corbett/THE NEWS

Carrying tacklers Two tacklers have a tough time bringing down a determined Brad Surbey of Maple Ridge during selects rugby action at Thomas Haney secondary on Sunday. He was chosen to play for the Fraser Valley Central under-18 team, along with locals Miller Thind, Damien Wilson, Ty Roberts and Donovan McNee. They lost an exhibition game 26-24 to Fraser Valley East, but are getting ready for a provincial championship next month.

Ball hockey gold and bronze Ridge Meadows Ball Hockey was well represented last weekend at the B.C. Minor Ball Hockey Provincial Tournament in Victoria, and brought back gold and bronze.

Teams from all local divisions travelled to compete against the best of the best, with games beginning on Friday morning and ending Sunday afternoon.

The Sr. Earthquakes (Pup) started their title defence (this team won the 2013 provincials in Delta) with two wins and a draw in three round-robin games. That gave them the top seed in their pool.

A convincing 8-5 win in the semi-finals against the Valley Warriors secured a spot in the gold medal game against the Metro Bulldogs on Sunday.

Backstopped by the superb goaltending of Deston Sands and solid shutdown defence from their blueliners, the Sr. Earthquakes cruised to a 6-0 win and their second straight provincial championship.

They were led by their Triple Threat Line of Justin Osborne, Carson Shalist and Adam Kirby, and the team tallied 27 goals in the five weekend games.

The Jr. Earthquakes (Peanut)

were led by solid defence from Brandon Osborne, Sam Fontaine and the Dagg brothers, Nathan and Jacob. Andrew Rittich gave them strong goaltending, and the offensive output came from throughout the lineup – in particular, Luke Moffat.

They had two wins and tie in round-robin play, which was good for the second seed in their pool.

A tough, 2-1 loss in the semifinal meant a berth in bronze medal game Sunday. The team bounced back with a solid effort and 7-3 win to bring home third place hardware.

Nick McBride will be one of four goaltenders invited to try out for the national under-18 hockey team.

The Maple Ridge resident is just coming off his rookie campaign with the Prince Albert Raiders of the Western Hockey League. Now he will take part in a team selection camp will be held Aug. 2-5 in Calgary.

Of the 44 players who have invited to camp, half will make Team Canada, and compete in the 2014 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup, Aug. 11-16 in Breclav, Czech Republic and Piestany, Slovkia. It’s a tournament Canada has dominated, winning nine of the past 10, and six in a row, and will be a great hockey experience for the teens who make the squad.

“That would just be a blast,” agreed McBride.

McBride made the under-17 team for B.C. and Alberta, and getting this invite was one of his goals.

“I was hoping for it. It’s something I was working toward.”

That work included a Program of Excellence goaltending camp last weekend, where he was tutored by the likes of former NHL goaltenders Dwayne Roloson, Fred Brathwaite and Sean Burke.

McBride enjoyed their advice, and said he melds it all into a style

Nick McBride tends goal for the Prince Albert Raiders. that is all his own.

“You take little things off everyone, but you need to have your own style,” he said.

“I don’t really have a favourite goalie or someone I pattern myself after. I just love watching hockey.”

As a backup with the Raiders last season, he got into 27 games, posting 12 wins, seven losses, and overtime loss and shootout loss. He had a 2.95 goals against average, and a 0.908 save percentage. So he posted very respectable stats for someone going from minor hockey up to “The Dub.” “It was fun. It was quite the jump up, but you have guys who help you out,” he said.

“The players are smarter and faster and they’re all better. You have to be able to follow the play.”

McBride played his elite minor hockey for the Burnaby Winter Club, won two straight Western Canadian Championships as a bantam.

tough competition to make national the team, each guy with similar pedigree and experience to his own. But says he is used to feeling the pressure to excel.

“There’s pressure every game. You go out there and try your best, and whatever happens happens,” he said.

While donning a red and white Maple Leaf jersey would be great to have on a upcoming prospect’s resume, McBride also heads into the coming season with the opportunity to win the starting job for the Raiders. That is a primary focus this year.

To get ready, he will work with former local trainer Adam Francilia, on goaltending specific exercises. Francilia, who also trains the likes of Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender James Reimer, has moved his business to Kelowna, so McBride will be spending a month there before WHL training camp.

As for the under-18 camp: “It’s a good group of guys going there, and it’s going to be fun.”

Workouts can bring gain without pain Shootout E

veryone at one time or another has experienced the soreness, stiffness and sometimes outright pain after doing something physically demanding – a hard workout, an unusually long hike, renovating the house or unexpected physical jobs at work.

Usually some level of soreness and stiff feelings around the joints that we used is apparent the following day and can last for a few days up to a week or even more in some cases.

This is a phenomenon properly called delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and happens occasionally not just to athletes, but anyone who is at least moderately active.

Every workout that generates a positive change, whether building muscle, improving the cardiovascular system, improving balance or coordination, requires that you tax your system a little more than it is used to.

In the case of muscle building, it means that you are breaking down muscle structure a little so that the body repairs the damage to a greater extent than before exercise.

This is what causes strength increases.

But if the damage was sufficient enough, then your body has to contend with more breakdown and repair than usual, which causes a cascade of events to happen to allow enough repair to take place, and one of these things is a stiffness and soreness that limits how much you move.

Your body probably does this so that repair can take place relatively unhindered. It might follow from this that the amount of soreness is a good indicator of the amount of repair needing to take place. Some believe that the greater the soreness, the greater the breakdown, and ultimately the greater the benefit – this has led to the adage ‘no pain, no gain’.

The Maple Ridge Minor Ball Hockey major finals were decided in a dramatic shootout on Saturday night.

The Maple Ridge Camels defeated the Maple Ridge Danglers in an exciting finale, that came down to the last shooter to decide the championship.

The first half ended with the Camels up 3-1 on goals by Zain Karmali, Justin Beachamp and Colton Brown.

But the Camels allowed the Danglers to regain a 4-3 lead.

The game was tied up with 15 seconds left, on a goal scored by Liam Foster.

Both teams had several chances to win the game in overtime, but the game had to be decided in the shootout.

The Camels now move on to the provincial championships hosted by the local ball hockey association this weekend, with the gold medal game being played this Sunday at noon at the Cam Neely Arena.

IN MEMORIAM GIFTS

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

W ith heavy hearts we announce the passing of a beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend.

Edna was born in Wainwright, AB May 16th, 1924 and passed away peacefully June 19th, 2014 at the age of 90.

Edna and Bill shared many wonderful years together in BC, raising their son George and travelling (in the later years) to places such as Europe, Hawaii, and Mexico until his passing in 1989.

Edna adored her son George, daughter-in-law Mavis, and granddaughters, Kimberly and Katelyn. She spoke of them often and shared her pride and joy with each of their accomplishments. Sadly, George passed away in June of 2013.

Edna treasured the many friendships she made personally, at church and through the Begin Again Widows Group and appreciated the companionship these offered her.

She will be dearly missed by all those who knew and loved her: Sisters; Ida (Olav), Grace (John), Marion (Reuben) Brother; Alex (Helen) along with numerous nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.

DE JONG, Paul Darren May 6, 1981 - June 22, 2014 It is with heavy hearts that we announce that Paul passed peacefully and entered into his heavenly home into the arms of Jesus. He will be sorely missed by his parents, Al and Jenny DeJong, his sister Cheryl and Dave Penner (his brother-in-law, boss, & friend), Jasmine, Kirsten, and Caitlyn.

Brothers: Richard and Melissa DeJong, Alex, Destiny and Aidan. Mark and Cecy DeJong, Braedon and Victoria. Timothy and Caitlyn DeJong, and Bill Rose. Grandma DeJong and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends whose lives were touched by knowing him. Paul graduated from Fraser Valley Christian High in Surrey, and went on to live in Smithers, BC where he worked as a lifeguard. From there he went into construction, and loved his work. He lived his life to the fullest.

His childhood passions were competitive swimming, soccer, baseball, and the 4-H program -showing Holstein calves, rabbits,llamas and pigs. As an adult he gave back to the 4-H program by judging at many local fairs including Maple Ridge, Chilliwack and the PNE. He was scheduled to judge the rabbit show in 2012, but was diagnosed with cancer June of 2012. He was again scheduled to judge that same show this August. We would like to thank Dr Mawani, all the doctors and nurses in Abbotsford cancer unit, and the doctors and caring staff at McKinney Creek Hospice.

A Celebration of his Life will be held on June 28 at 1 PM in the Maple Ridge Christian Reformed Church.

In lieu of flowers we would like to set up a perpetual award in his honor at the 4-H Show at both Maple Ridge & the PNE if funds permit. Any additional funds collected will be donated the BC 4-H Foundation in his name to be used in funding 4-H programs in BC. Condolences can be sent to: www.mapleridgefuneralchapel.ca
