Robson loses appeal in Supreme Court

By P hi l M e lnychu k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

A B.C. Supreme Court has disagreed with Gordy Robson’s contention that his combined golf course and sheep pasture is an allowed agri-tourism use within the Agricultural Land Reserve.

Despite an earlier decision by the B.C. Assessment appeal board granting farm-status on the property, Justice N. Smith, J. ruled Friday that because the Heather Hills golf course isn’t temporary or seasonal, it doesn’t qualify as an allowed agri-tourism use of farmland.

The justice also stated that the Agricultural Land Commission can decide that the golf course does not meet the definition, even though sheep graze on the course.

Golden Ears park busier than ever Gates closed three consecutive weekends B y P h i l M e l nychuk pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

Park operators are enforcing a ban on campfires in Golden Ears.

The long hot weather is making a season like no other at Alouette Lake.

Golden Ears Provincial Park in Maple Ridge’s backyard is the busiest manager Stu Burgess has seen.

“It’s been the busiest year on record and it continues today,” he said

Tuesday.

Until this year, apart from Victoria Day long weekend, it took until the end of June before the park operator, SSG Holdings, had to turn away vehicles because of packed parking lots.

But the last three consecutive weekends park staff have had to turn around vehicles at about noon because parking stalls were all taken.

“Usually, we’re not closing the park until the last weekend in June.

The vehicle counts this year are just way more than anything we’ve expe-

rienced before,” Burgess said.

On Saturday, June 6 – 2,800 vehicles came through the park gates at the east end of Fern Crescent.

The next day, 3,200 vehicles entered the park. Most of those were headed for the day-use picnic areas along Alouette Lake.

According to B.C. Parks, on average, each vehicle brings in 3.5 people – more than 11,000 people in one day.

The day-use area has 800 parking stalls and another 100 stalls for vehicles and boat trailers.

Prior to this year, the park’s busiest year was in 2009, when the Golden Ears Bridge opened. Weather was nice that year, but the bridge also helped boost numbers.

“I think what we’re seeing this year is pretty much all an effect of the weather we’re having,” said Burgess.

SSG Holdings only operates the park under contract for B.C. Parks and he hasn’t heard of any expansion plans for the park, one of the busiest in B.C. and one of the closest to Vancouver.

Firefighters ready as days blaze by Public help part of safety strategy

By Phil M elnyc h u k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

T

he Maple Ridge Fire Department may want to steal a phrase from local police forces: no call to small.

Because if people call them when they see a small brush fire or bark-mulch blaze, or if a small patch of grass catches alight, the fire department can jump on it before it grows to a major fire.

Having the eyes and ears of the public helping out is an important part of the department’s strategy as it tries to make it through what’s becoming a long, hot summer, says Deputy Fire Chief Howard Exner.

With weeks of no rain, Maple Ridge’s forests can become even drier and more dangerous as humidity levels drop.

“There’s still a lot of dryout left to do,” Exner said.

“As the temperature continues to climb during the day, the humidity could still drop.”

On Thursday, the fire department issued a total fire ban on any camp or cook fires, fireworks or any flame of any kind in both rural and urban parts of Maple Ridge.

B.C. Parks followed on Monday, banning campfires from within Golden Ears Provincial Park.

“From an operational point of view, all the necessary

Tim Fitzgerald/THE NEWS

Assistant operations manager Jeremy Watkins of the UBC Malcolm Knapp Research Forest sets the sprinklers as temperatures continue to soar, keeping staff on high alert as the threat of forest fires increases. training is complete for an initial fire attack,” said Exner.

“We’ve got the planning part done. Hopefully, we don’t have to go the operational part.”

Exner said industry working in the areas where the forest meets the built-up areas of Maple Ridge has been told to set up a fire watch when operating.

But after a few days of extreme fire conditions, all of that work has to stop completely until conditions improve. That includes any logging, mowing, welding,

cutting or blasting.

“We’re notifying people upfront right now, trying to tell everybody that is where we’re heading.”

Companies that don’t follow those orders will be fined.

Maple Ridge fire department has one ATV, a Polaris Ranger, which can drive on the trails and get firefighters into the bush so they can squelch any fires immediately. That can carry 300 litres of water or also tap into a stream or brook in the bush.

Danger areas are not only in the forest but any open ar-

eas, farmers fields or grassy meadows. “It’s not necessarily just trees.”

Last year, Maple Ridge council created a new permit area for new houses that face the forest to have some measures to be able to withstand a wildfire.

But Exner said it’s too soon for those new rules to have any impact on area’s ability to survive a fire.

The wildfire development permit areas require new homes that are built next to the forest to use fire-resistent exterior materials, fire re-

sistent roofs and fire-smart landscaping. Ten-metre buffer areas will also be required to separate new suburbs from forests.

The wildfire development permit area derives from Maple Ridge’s Community Wildfire Protection Plan passed in 2007. That plan came from the Firestorm 2003 report written by former Manitoba premier Gary Filmon in the wake of the devastating wildfire that tore through Kelowna that year.

“We’ve got our guard up high and that’s what we’re

looking to run with right now,” said Exner.

Staff at the UBC Malcolm Knapp Research Forest are also on high alert.

“We have our own capacity for initial attack here,” said director Paul Lawson.

“We’ve basically shut down all of our forest activities,” during the current extreme conditions.

The forest’s sawmill has been surrounded by sprinklers, while there’s a campfire ban in place at Loon Lake.

Lawson said two students work seven days a week on fire patrol, while eight people have been trained to respond to a wildfire. Three tanker trailers, a municipal fire truck and 10 water pumps round out the anti-fire arsenal.

There’s a lot at risk, Lawson added.

“We’re trying our best to stay on top of things here.”

As hot and dry as it is, Lawson said the fire-rating index for the forest is at about 105, still below the 170 level reached in the summer of 2003, when wildfires hit the Kelowna area.

The index is based on temperature, humidity, wind and precipitation.

Conditions are not expected to change for awhile.

The last two weeks of July and the first two weeks of August are usually the driest, said Lawson.

“We’re expecting another eight to 10 weeks of high, extreme rating here.”

More than 100 long-term research forests are underway at the research forest.

Boaters warned as reservoir levels to drop Park from front

Expanding the parking stalls would also require expanding the washrooms, sewer and water systems. A few years ago, the water system was upgraded.

Liberal MLA Marc Dalton hasn’t heard, either, of any expansion plans, but said a new bridge over Gold Creek will open this summer.

As the heat drags on and the forest becomes drier, park operators are watching more carefully.

“Forest fires are a big worry here,” Burgess said.

If a fire started somewhere along Fern Crescent, people would be trapped in the park.

“Emergency refuge is down to the lake, everybody into the water. That is our greatest concern here.”

Fires could start from any stray spark. Operators are enforcing the ban on campfires in the campgrounds.

Burgess said the greater worry is the back country, away from the campgrounds, where conditions are bone dry.

“Fires are never allowed in the back country of Golden Ears. Never.”

A spark from a vehicle could touch off a grass fire, which could spread. Or a tossed cigarette butt or a vehicle fire on the road could spread to the forest. That happened in 2012, when one of the park’s trucks caught fire when it was hauling hot ash. By the time the fire department arrived, the fire had spread into the trees.

Burgess said the water level in the Alouette Lake reservoir, which is connected to the Stave River, is slowly dropping, while Gold Creek is also low.

According to B.C. Hydro, the Stave Lake Reservoir is at 80.8 metres, which is normal

for this time of year, despite lack of rain and no remaining snow pack.

But the reservoir level is expected to drop and boaters are being warned to be careful.

As the drought continues, B.C. Hydro will reduce flows from Ruskin Dam into the Stave River in order to conserve water for the salmon spawning later in the year, said spokesperson Simi Heer.

Burgess said the warm weather stretching from the spring is out of the ordinary.

“Very unusual year. We’ve started seeing salmon berries ripe in April. There are vine maples tree turning red and brown already.”

Fire ants invade Fraser Valley Colonies indentified in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows

By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

I

f your kids are complaining about being bitten by bugs, and your dog won’t go out into the yard, you might have fire ants.

The invasive species has become established in the Lower Mainland, and two colonies have been reported at properties in Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.

Any invasive species can upset an ecosystem, but the swarming European fire ants can essentially make a section of your property effectively off limits.

“They tend to displace people from using the areas where they are established,” explained biologist Dr. Robert Higgins. “The European fire ant is aggressive, and they sting.”

“Someone in Chilliwack told me they know the fire ant season is beginning when their dog moves up onto the deck.”

Higgins, of Thompson Rivers University, is an ant expert who first identified the pest in the Lower Mainland about five years ago.

The province’s multiministry invasive species working group recruited him to help control the fire ant invasion.

“They’re concerned about invasive species generally, and this is one that is a real pest,” said Higgins.

They have attacked horses, and a section of VanDusen Botanical Gardens in Vancouver had to be closed because of the ants. They can render parks and campgrounds unusable.

Higgins has felt their sting many times. It’s not so intense as a wasp’s, but it’s much worse than a mosquito bite. He compares it more to stinging nettles. The pain builds into a sharp burning.

It hurts for an hour or two, then itches. Because the ants swarm, and each can bite mul-

tiple times, there is potential for a painful experience with European fire ants.

So far there has been no anaphylactic shock caused by the bites, such as with an allergic reaction to bee stings.

But there are cases where an ant bite causes significant swelling, he said.

Their nests can be hard to spot, because they do not have a raised ant hill like other ants – just a pencilsized opening in the ground.

“They’re tougher to control, because you can’t see a mound – you don’t know they’re there.”

Trying to slow the spread of this significant pest is key work for Higgins. He wants people to contact him if they think they have fire ants. To protect the privacy of homeowners, and encourage reporting he does not reveal their location.

The first step is to get a positive identification, and he offers instructions on how to collect and ship the bugs to him. To a layman, they look like any other ant.

The next step is to follow current best practices. Key is keeping dirt, wood and other materials on site. In almost all instances of new infestation, the ants have arrived in new soil, landscaping materials or with new plants.

He is conducting experiments in the Okanagan to find the best way to eradicate them.

So far, pesticides are the only effective weapon.

“We haven’t had any luck with non-pesticide approaches,” he said.

“They’re very difficult to knock back.”

Their spread has been slow, because the ants are not doing the mating flights that would step up their invasion dramatically. Higgins is not sure why.

“It could be that they recognize they’re not quite in the right habi-

tat,” he said.

But they are still mating and establishing ever bigger colonies on foot.

“Their numbers will steadily build and spread.”

The nests of fire ants can be hard to spot because they do not have a raised hill like others.

O Canada July 1 is Canada’s 148th birthday. It’s a momentous occasion, but in the usual Canadian style, we tend to sometimes celebrate it rather half-heartedly.

Canadians are proud of their country and its many achievements, as could be seen Saturday when Canada played its final game in the Women’s World Cup of soccer. Yet at the same time, there is a sense of unease in the midst of 2015, with the economy sluggish, and the future uncertain for many people and businesses.

There is also a federal election looming, and it is very unclear what the final result of that will be.

It could be a minority government, or less likely, a majority government — and any one of the three main parties has a chance to win.

Nonetheless, these are simply moments which will pass, in a country that has lasted for 148 years and endured many significant challenges.

Canada is a great place to live, and it’s well worth celebrating today.

Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows will host their own celebrations, while some of the best Canada Day events will be found on patios, in backyards, in the backwoods.

On this occasion, it’s fun to wrap ourselves in the Canadian flag and wrap ourselves in our Canadian identity, whatever it may mean to us. It’s fine to celebrate some of the symbols that stand for Canada and Canadians.

Canada Day, we think, is meant to inspire pride – pride in our country, in our flag, and in who we are.

Are we proud to be Canadians?

We should be.

Most anywhere we look, from coast to coast to coast, and especially closer to home, we should be able to find sources of pride. But if we don’t see, at the same time, things that we wish were different and ways that Canada can be better, then we aren’t looking closely enough.

We can salute the flag, and at the same time believe that it will one day stand for an even greater Canada.

B.C. still the Wild West for elections VICTORIA – The man behind “HarperPAC” says it lived and died in a few days to make a point about third-party advertising in Canadian politics.

When it launched, I wondered why he would choose such a deliberately proB.C. Views vocative name. No, Tom Fletcher not “Harper,” but the acronym for “Political Action Committee,” which has come to symbolize the financial excesses of U.S. politics.

HarperPAC ran one radio ad, accusing Liberal leader Justin Trudeau of blaming voters for his declining popularity, and suggesting that Trudeau’s “months of mistakes” are a likelier cause. No kidding.

HarperPAC spokesman Stephen Taylor, who like Stephen Harper before him, has worked for the National Citizens’ Coalition, announced the end of the project last week.

“We have contributed to a new discussion about political financing in a fixed election era that is critical to our democracy,” Taylor said. “We note that this discussion only occurred once a right-wing analog of the left’s PAC-style efforts emerged on the scene.”

Indeed, it was when HarperPAC emerged that muttering began about “dark money” in Canadian politics. Unifor, Anti-Conservative front LeadNow and the many faces of the Tides Foundation somehow failed to ignite much discussion in the Canadian media.

Taylor launched the bid in response to the emergence of “Engage Canada,” a unionfinanced action committee that he said was part of a broader effort by the left to oust the Conservatives. Engage Canada portrays itself as a brave alternative to shadowy right-wing groups, such as Working Canadians, which has also run pro-Conservative ads.

Engage Canada’s latest ad plays on the union movement’s cherished “inequality” theme, selecting statistics to portray the wealthy as making out far better than the rest of us in Harper’s Canada. (The notion that “inequality” can and should be fixed by ever-higher taxes on “the rich” staggers on, zombie-like, as if capitalism was the cause of poverty.)

Two recent developments have led to all this. Scheduled elections every four years have finally taken effect at the federal level, after a series of minority governments.

And courts have repeatedly struck down efforts to restrict third-party spending in the so-called “pre-campaign” period as an unwarranted restriction on free speech.

The B.C. Liberal government tried and failed several times to restrict third party spending, largely in response to the million-dollar tirades of the teachers’ union.

Former attorney general Wally Oppal used to warn about American-style influence by wealthy interest groups targeting scheduled elections.

Their strategy was not so much to keep corporate money out of B.C. politics as to keep it flowing through the B.C. Liberal Party.

This spring the B.C. Liberal majority

passed Bill 20, the Election Amendment Act. Not only did this recognize the freedom of outsiders to weigh in on elections, it also did away with pre-campaign restrictions on registered political parties and candidates.

NDP MLA Leonard Krog warned that this sets the stage for “some mad Wild West show,” with politicians so desperate to raise money they start looking for the B.C. equivalent of renting out the Lincoln bedroom in the White House.

Their strategy was not so much to keep corporate money out of B.C. politics as to keep it flowing through the B.C. Liberal Party.

The big difference between the precampaign ads for this fall’s federal election and the next provincial vote in 2017 is that corporate and union donations to parties and candidates have been eliminated at the federal level. That means more money available for third-party campaigns, but it seems to be fairly well distributed between the two sides, the Conservatives and everybody else.

Here in the Wild West, nothing’s going to change as long as the B.C. Liberals are in the saddle.

THE NEWS/letters Get tent city under control

online comments Raising the bar

Nicole Read · Re: ‘No quick fix for homelessness’ (The News, June 26).

Unfortunately, we’ve been in discussions with the Salvation Army’s regional designates many times over the last few months, as to outreach workers for the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation.

I think he has a few details mixed up. Regarding “raising expectations rather high,” yes, that’s right, we are. The bar is being raised and it’s clear that it’s making things uncomfortable.

Back to you Jacky Halliday · Re: ‘No quick fix for homelessness’ (The News, June 26).

Have the people ‘camping’ at Cliff Avenue been identified as simply transients of no fixed address from various locations in the Lower Mainland or can the Ministry of Social Services identify some of these transients as ‘failed placements’ from Riverview hospitals closure?

If the latter is true, would this not shift the responsibility back to the government, which saved millions of dollars in closing Riverview, to use some of the saved millions to find proper housing for these obviously mentally [ill] and unemployable members of our society?

What have you done, Doug?

George and Pam Banks · Re: ‘No quick fix for homelessness’ (The News, June 26).

Sure, Doug [Bing, MLA], basically all you have done in your comments is attack Mayor Read’s administration. At least it is trying something different – promise less and deliver more. What have you delivered? I tell you, the election can’t come soon enough. Stop deflecting and get in there and do something about it – get your hands dirty. You rent a suite to get one homeless off the street ...

Editor, The News: We’ve recently moved from Burnaby to Maple Ridge and the other day I saw your tent city. I don’t believe the people I saw today were: mentally ill, elderly, frail or unemployable.

On the contrary, I saw able-bodied men and women who looked like they were enjoying a day camping, eating cereal and looking clean and presentable. One woman left the city in a nice summer dress, looking like she was on her way to work.

The tent city is going to continue to grow with the summer weather and the free camping for transients. Who are the people staying there? Are they from Maple Ridge or have they just arrived to take

advantage of the situation?

Who is monitoring and accountable to verify who these people are, where they are from and what their needs are?

If you haven’t identified something as basic as who these people are, how can you know how to address the problem?

C. Nelson Maple Ridge

C’mon, Doug Editor, The News: Re: ‘No quick fix for homelessness’ (The News, June 26).

I never heard Mayor Nicole Read claim that she would end homelessness in Maple Ridge. But she did state that she would

make the homeless issue a priority. And she is living up to that. That’s laudable.

What has MLA Doug Bing done?

He suggests, “If someone was to rent out a secondary suite for a homeless person that would be one less homeless person on the street”.

But he’s not offering to do that himself.

He’s suggesting you do it.

C’mon, Doug. Lead the charge. Rent a room in your house man. Why not. I’ve read: it’s the responsibility of those in positions of political influence to at least try to make a change. That’s obviously why Read is here with us. Why are you there, Doug?

Grant Baker Maple Ridge

Both have poor mental health records Editor, The News: Re: Military duties could end homelessness (Letters, June 19).

Mike Boileau offered a solution to the homeless who are able-bodied and fit to work. They would be housed, fed, clothed, and have opportunity to be educated.

It’s an option, while others offer no solution.

A commentator on Facebook brought up the closure of Riverview as a contributor to the mentally ill homeless. He wrote, “since respective right wing parties shut down all the facilities for the mentally ill ... ” Sorry, the NDP in 1998 announced a $125 million, seven-year mental health plan. Trouble was it wasn’t in the budget and never implemented.

The NDP also supported the downsizing of Riverview and in its last year in power 808 Riverview beds were not replaced.

Both parties have poor records on mental health.

Reason? There’s no money or votes in it.

Robson said he won’t fight golf course ruling anymore ALR from front

That’s disappointing, said Robson, a Maple Ridge councillor who was mayor from 2005 to 2008.

People, seniors especially, will miss the golf course in the Webster’s Corners area at 117th Avenue.

In March 2014, before he was re-elected to council in November, Robson had agreed to shut down the course in return for the city dropping its court action seeking to force the closure of the course because it alleged the course was breaking a zoning bylaw.

But his lawyer decided to try again to challenge the Agricultural Land

“Our sheep expert is calculating what we’re going to do,” he said.

“But we still intend to maintain the farm.”

But other parts of the farm are being sold off into about three or four

serving children nearby.

Police arrived and arrested the man. Charged with committing an indecent act is Thomas John Lloyd, 62.

While Abbotsford police says he had no fixed address, Ridge Meadows RCMP say he lives in this area.

“Both Ridge Meadows RCMP and Ridge Meadows Parks and Leisure Services are keenly

different parcels. About half has been sold already.

There are lots of buyers for acreage properties in Maple Ridge, said Robson. The property with the family house will remain on the eight acres.

“It’s a shame we can’t protect the land. We wanted to die with it, pass it on. We will not be doing that now.”

It’s a sad day and disappointing for the family, he added.

“We spent a lot money building it, and it’s gone.

I’m not going to fight anymore of it.”

Had he won, it would have shown that the issue isn’t a municipal issue, Robson added.

RCMP say they are aware of his release conditions and the fact he is not allowed to attend any park, swimming pool, or recreation centre. “If the man is found in, or near any of our parks or pools, he will be arrested and brought back before the courts.”

ai used to spit on people who got too close, and make a growling sound.

He’s got cute black curly hair that women would just love to go up and ruffle. They’d get a rude shock.

He’s sensitive to bright light, loud sounds and strong smells. A ride in the car used to cause him sensory overload, and he would throw up.

When he got stressed, which was often, the little boy would bite and hit himself.

Worse, he would bolt.

His mom couldn’t have a shower, go to the washroom, or have a nap, without someone to watch him.

Joanne Hall was at her wit’s end.

“I lived in a place of fear and anxiety and lack of sleep.”

He was also not talking at the age of five.

When Kai was diagnosed with autism, the pediatrician said he would benefit by having a service dog.

“I’d never even heard of it,” Joanne said.

Autism service dogs are recognized for the increased safety they provide – to guide children and find them if they stray. The Autism Canada Foundation also acknowledges that the dogs have shown an abil-

ity to passively teach a child responsibility, lower their aggression, and comfort them whey they are upset.

Joanne had no idea what a change such a dog would provide.

Sitting in Memorial Peace Park with his German Shepherd Cora, there’s few traces left of the stormy personality Kai had at five. He wants to show everyone how Cora can find him. The dog is turned to face the opposite direction, as Kai trundles off behind a big flower bed.

Joanne tells Cora to find Kai, and the shepherd is off, nose to the grass, on his trail. Ten seconds later, she’s bounding up to him, and he’s laughing.

He likes telling people about his dog.

“She’s been in the family a long time,” he explains.

“It’s incredible the changes in him,” says his mom.

“I have no comprehension of why. I know they way he was before we got her, and the way he is after.”

She couldn’t get him to go into the bank with her. He would scream and cry. Now he takes Cora by the handle of her harness and walks right in.

“She makes me brave,” he explained to his mom once.

Hall used to put weights on her son – heavy beanbag stuffed animals that he would take to school, and have laid across him at night, to keep him

from taking off.

The night they got Cora, the dog laid across Kai’s legs, as she has been trained to do, and Joanne knew things had just changed.

He used to avoid sensory experiences, but he runs his fingers through Cora’s long fur and nuzzles her.

“He’s becoming loving an affectionate,” said Hall. “Cora hasn’t spoken with him about it, but she has done something.”

The little boy who wouldn’t go into the bank now goes to the PNE, visits the Vancouver Aquarium and watched an Adam’s Family play with cannons going off.

He doesn’t hurt himself anymore.

“If I could give him anything in life, it would be that dog,” said Hall. “I can’t imagine life without her.”

There are service dogs that visit seniors homes, for victims of post traumatic stress disorder, people with mobility problems and seeing eye dogs for the blind. But service dogs for children with autism spectrum disorders are a comparatively young idea.

Cora was the first trained by a local nonprofit called Assistance and Service Dogs B.C. (ASDBC). The trainer is Andy Krzus, who formerly trained police and search and rescue dogs, as well as offering obedience training to members of the public.

Beginning with an intelligent dog with a baseline of obedience

training, he then teaches them, several hours per day over six months, in the autism speciality. They can be taught, for example, to nudge a child if they’re hitting themselves.

Andy also spends about nine hours per day with the family for a week, to customize the dog’s training to their situation.

His wife Marie said there is a lot of interest in the dogs, but so far there is no government funding. The intensive training leads to a $22,000 price tag for the dogs, which is a barrier for some people. If the family is willing to help fundraise, ASDBC will help them organize events.

“Communities rally around children.”

She believes that Kai has enjoyed a tremendous benefit from having Cora, because he loves the dog.

“I would say the bond is exceptional.”

Marie knows of no public funding or medical coverage for the autism service dogs on the horizon.

“That would be wonderful someday, but it’s a relatively new thing,” she said.

Joanne would like to see every autistic child try a service dog.

“It has changed Kai’s trajectory,” she said. “It has changed his world.

He’s able to go out and see things he would never have been able to see.

“I have great hope for him now, that I didn’t have before.”

BROADWAY ST.

TransLink will open up its board meetings to the public starting this fall in what it says is a move to become more transparent and accountable.

“We welcome public scrutiny,” said vice chair Barry Forbes, who announced the change at TransLink’s annual general meeting Friday.

Exactly how much new information is released and actual debate on policy is witnessed by the public and the media is yet to be seen.

Fraser Health holds part of its board meetings in public, but that consists mainly of carefully staged staff presentations and a public question period, rather than real debate between directors on the critical policy issues, which all happens behind closed doors.

Forbes confirmed some topics will still be dealt with in camera, but indicated those would be the usual ones requiring confidentiality that prompt closed meetings by other public bodies – personnel, land and labour negotiations.

The move ends seven years of making decisions behind closed doors since 2008, when the provincial government remade TransLink’s structure, removed mayors and councillors who previously ran open board meetings, and replaced them with a system of appointed professional directors.

Since last fall, two mayors have sat on the board as well and the mayors’ council had been pressing for years for more transparency.

“What’s changed is the board has recognized it’s the people’s transportation system. It belongs to all of us, so we’ve got to be more open,” Forbes said.

Interim CEO Doug Allen said TransLink is waiting for the outcome of the transit tax plebiscite to see “what world we’re in.”

A Yes vote will result in immediate moves to boost bus service,

particularly night bus service this summer, he told the AGM. A No outcome would result in renewed talks between mayors and the province, he said, while TransLink does the best it can to deliver the highest quality service possible.

The system will slowly erode under that scenario – with revenue frozen and population increasing, the level of transit service per resident is ultimately expected to decline.

“If anyone thinks in a No scenario that we can simply move on and either deliver the status quo or more, we can’t,” Allen said.

Without new funding, transit service per capita is projected to deterio-

BUY DIRECT

Surrey’s plan for an atgrade light rail network is “visionless, needless and unambitious” and argued for reconsideration of elevated SkyTrain instead.

“We’re going to end up with Surrey again looking like it’s the dump of the region,” he said.

Allen responded the plan for light rail in Surrey was part of the mayors’ vision and was “not a casual proposal.”

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner later defended the LRT plan.

“It’s about both moving people and shaping the community,” Hepner said.

“We also know there’s a cost differential. When we’re looking at 27 kilometres of new transportation system there’s monumentally different costs with an elevated system, which would divide our community.”

rate back to 2004 levels by 2020.

Even if the vote is Yes, TransLink still intends to continue its bus optimization process that shuffles service from less used routes to areas where more riders can be carried.

Many critics argue transit funding should never have gone to a referendum, but Allen argued the process has been beneficial.

“The debate we’ve had across the region has been a very good debate,” he said.

He defended TransLink’s record, noting transit operating cost recovery at 53 per cent is almost twice as good as most major U.S. transit agencies.

TransLink executives fielded several questions from the public.

Metro air quality advisory ends

By Jef f Nage l Black Press

An air quality advisory issued Saturday by Metro Vancouver due to high concentrations of ground-level ozone ended Monday morning.

The advisory – the first one of this summer – applied in eastern parts of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley as hot weather broke temperature records in many ar-

eas.

Cooler temperatures and, more importantly, an increase in cloud cover has since resulted in less sunshine producing ozone, according to Ken Reid, Metro’s superintendent of environmental sampling and monitoring.

During advisory periods, residents are urged to avoid strenuous outdoor activities, especially the elderly, infants and

those with respiratory conditions, and seek air-conditioned indoor spaces.

Ground-level ozone is caused when nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds react in sunlight on hot days.

VOCs mainly come from vehicle emissions, solvent and fuel evaporation, farming, as well as natural sources such as vegetation.

Emissions from vehicles

have steadily declined in recent years due to improving technology, but Metro has projected the recent trend of improving air quality could reverse and worsen from 2020 to 2030, due to growth in Lower Mainland population and traffic.

Residents can help reduce air emissions in the region by minimizing use of vehicles, taking transit or carpooling, minimizing the use of lawn

mowers and other gaspowered engines, avoiding idling your vehicle, and avoiding refuelling it at the hottest time of the day.

For air quality health index information see bcairquality.ca.

Metro issued two air quality advisories last summer spanning a total of three days, one for ozone and the second due to out-of-region wildfire smoke.

Pair high on a feeling for dance nationals Alexandra MacPhail and Owen Goodman aiming for gold B y T i m Fi t z g e r a l d art@mapleridgenews.com

Alexandra MacPhail and Owen Goodman will travel to London, Ont. for the Canadian Interprovincial Highland Dancing Championships.

wo Maple Ridge dancers are hoping to bring home gold when they take the stage at the upcoming Canadian Interprovincial Highland Dancing Championships.

Alexandra MacPhail and Owen Goodman will travel to London, Ont. to take on Canada’s best from July 6 to 10 after qualifying at an event in May at SFU. The Canadian Highland Dancing Championship Series is the largest highland dancing event in the world, and this will be MacPhail’s ninth time representing B.C. A recent grad from Maple Ridge secondary, MacPhail has clear goals for this year’s event.

“I’m really excited to compete this year,” she said. “I know its going to be a tough competition, so I want to go out there and dance my very best. This will be my ninth time competing at the Canadians and this year my goal is to place in the top six.”

MacPhail has grown up dancing, whether it be jazz, ballet, lyrical and hip-hop. But ultimately she chose highland dancing because she fell in love all aspects of the discipline.

She was drawn to it because it challenged her both physically as well as mentally. She said it requires strength, timing, and technique in order to make it look effortless, and continually pushes her to strive for perfection.

MacPhail said she couldn’t imagine her life without highland dance.

“I love the hard work and dedication that has to go into this sport. I love being able to travel and meet people from around the world. Highland dancing has given me the opportunity to travel across Canada, the U.S. and Scotland.”

As the championships approach, the MRSS grad said she’s spending close to 20 hours a week preparing. Like any disciple, the competition can take its toll, mentally.

MacPhail said at times, she can be her own worst enemy, putting too much pressure on herself. She said she needs to remind herself to just dance her best and accept the results.

It’s a strategy that’s worked well, so far. This summer she’s performing in the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Edinburgh, Scotland. It’s been a goal of hers since she first took up highland dance.

“I am very excited for this opportunity. It’s going to be a lot different than competing and I get to dance with 65 other dancers from around the world. I am very lucky to be one out of the 66,” she said.

“The competition is extremely difficult at the Canadian championships.”

Owen Goodman MacPhail is heading to Simon Fraser this fall and just recently received her associate teacher’s training in highland dance, and looks forward to not only dancing, but passing on her passion to the next generation of kids.

For Goodman, the love of dance came when he was five years old as he watched his older sister take up highland.

Now he trains three times a week for an hour-and-a-half per session, plus spends another hour training with a private tutor.

He said when he’s not in training, he spends as much time as he can working on technique at home. The goal will be to bring home a medal in London, his fourth trip to the Canadian Interprovincial Highland Dancing Championships.

“The competition is extremely difficult at the Canadian championships,” said Goodman, who just finished Grade 9 at MRSS. “To receive a medal there would be fantastic. I plan on dancing my best and bringing everything I’ve got to London. Each time the experience is awesome and I hope this year will be just as good.”

Summer classes in full session at the ACT Theatre and arts camps, those for pottery and wind chimes arts@mapleridgenews.com

School may be out, but classes are in full session at the ACT. No sooner does the school year end then does the ACT ramp up its full slate of classes for kids. The programs have become an arts staple for the community.

“There are so many choices for kids, there really is something for everybody,” said Carol Cheremkora, arts program manager at the ACT. Theatre camps, art classes creating wind chimes, pottery courses and the Vancouver Circus School summer camp are just some of the popular options this year, said Cher-

emkora.

The circus camp allows kids to experience working on their aerial skills, the trapeze, trampolines, and juggling skills. There are three week-long courses, starting July 6 to 10, allows participants to hone their skills as the prepare for a final student-led show for family and friends preformed on the main stage of the ACT. The second session of the program runs July 20 to 24 and the final round goes Aug. 17 to 21.

The Vancouver Circus School summer camp is also running one four-day camp, from Aug. 4 to 7. All classes run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“We’re really glad they’re coming back this year,” said Cheremkora. “It’s such a unique program. They kids really thrive after the week of training.”

Another highlight this summer will be the Fashion Design Project Runway Upcycle, running July 20 to 24. Aimed at kids ages nine to 15, aspiring your designers will have a chance to work on an outfit using recycled items they bring to camp.

Led by Lisa Shepherd, the five-day camp emphasizes fashion illustration, story boarding your creation and ultimately designing your project.

The art of illusion will also be on tap, as international magician Paul Albertson takes centre stage July 27 to 31 and again Aug. 31 to Sept. 4.

The camp, for kids ages eight to 11, is a week-long intensive where Albertson passes on his expertise and students get the chance to perform for family and friends at the conclusion of the camp.

Lori Ceaser, arts program assistant with

the ACT, said the wide range of programs allows kids with different tastes to experiment and find what excites them.

“By designing so many different options, it really brings out the different personalities in kids. It’s exciting to see.”

The Maple Ridge parks and recreation programs have expanded again this year, bringing classes to South Bonson.

Cheremkora said they’ve also partnered with Westminster Savings and private donors to expand their bursary program.

“We want to be able to make these classes accessible to everyone in the community,” said Cheremkora. “This is a way to open the door to families who might not otherwise have the chance.”

The Maple Ridge Art Gallery is hosting En Plein Air, an exhibition and sale of the work of the Stave Falls Artist Group, starting July 11.

The exhibit runs until Aug. 8 and will feature a special event led by Stave Falls member Linda Bishop, who will offer a talk and tour of the exhibition on Saturday, July 25 from 1 to 2 p.m.

The presentation will give visitors a chance to hear more about the technical challenges of ‘plein air,’ and the “intriguing possibilities of contemplating a subject without a formal studio setup,” said Bishop.

The Stave Falls Artist Group owes its origins to Ron Hedrick, who established the group 10 years ago. He-

drick, who has artwork in corporate and public collections throughout the world, is well known for being inspirational to the many artists who live in this community.

The Stave Falls group meets regularly to discuss members’ work, organize exhibitions and plan art-based outings.

The works on view in the upcoming exhibition were all created in the outdoors, or, ‘en plein air’.

Members of the group will also be on hand at the opening reception on Saturday, July 11 from 2 to 4 p.m. Tea, coffee and refreshments will be offered at the opening thanks to a private donation.

• The Maple Ridge Art Gallery is open every Tuesday to Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Royals ready for run at provincials Powerhouse midget team riding 12-game win streak sports@mapleridgenews.com

W

ith another weekend sweep of four wins, and a sterling record of 30-3, the Royals midget team is looking at a provincial championship this year.

“They have as good a shot as anybody,” said general manager Nor Ljunggren. “We’re in first place, and there’s no real weakness to the team.”

“They’re strong in everything. Their top three or four pitchers are really good, their defence is strong – it’s a well-rounded team.”

He gives credit to the coaching staff.

Last year, they had to rebuild the program after two years of not having a top flite midget team in the Ridge Meadows association.

Head coach Mack Whitford went with a young team last season, prepared to take some lumps in order to get ready for this season. They finished a respectable 17-18 on the season, in a rebuilding year.

“But they did a real good job last

year – they developed really well,” said Ljunggren, who coaches with the Langley Blaze of the B.C. Premier Baseball League, but handles the red tape with the local midgets.

“He [Whitford] has got an incredible ability to teach skill sets.”

Whitford has an all-star coaching staff that includes hitting coach Jeff Scott and assistant coaches Doug MacDermid and Patrick Bigelow.

Ljunggren said some of the Royals could help a BCPBL team, but they stay because they like the coaches, and have loyalty to the Royals.

With nine games remaining in the regular season, they are riding a winning steak of 12 straight games.

On Saturday, the Royals hosted the last-place Cowichan Mustangs at Hammond Stadium. In the first game, the Royals took advantage of some control issues by the Mustangs starter, plating six runs early and not looking back en route to a 11-7 victory. Domenic Baptista pitched four innings without allowing a run to pick up the win.

In game two, Trevor Reed was dominant on the mound. He pitched a complete game shutout, allowing only

one hit. The Royals prevailed 4-0.

On Sunday, the Royals took on the Richmond Chuckers in the only meetings of the year between the two perennial contenders.

In the first game of the day, Seth Injates dominated the boxscore. Not only did he throw a complete game shutout, striking out nine, but he also went three-for-four at the plate with three runs batted in. Baptista (2-4, 2B, 2 RBI), Brayden Slaughter (2-4, RBI), Colton Beard (3-3, 3 runs), and Tristan Reed (2-2, RBI) also had solid games at the plate in an 8-0 win.

In the final game of the weekend, the Royals’ bats pounded out 12 runs in five innings en route to a 12-2 mercy-rule win. Chris Bailey picked up the win, pitching a complete game allowing only four hits while striking out three. The offence was paced by Nick Peters (2-4, 3RBI), Beard (2-3, RBI, 2 runs), Miguel Norquist (1-2, triple, 2 RBI) and Santiago Torres (12, RBI).

The Royals will travel to Vernon on Canada Day for a double-header against the Canadians. They will then head to Kamloops for a weekend tournament.

Pride host tourney

By Neil Corbett sports@mapleridgenews.com

Neil Corbett/THE NEWS

The U-16 Pride did their hometown Ridge Meadows Minor Softball proud, winning a tournament hosted at Albion Park over the weekend.

The local association hosted its annual Summer Series softball tournament, with 28 elite teams from across the Lower Mainland. There were two Under-16 Pride teams, and they finished first and second after round-robin play. When the dust finally cleared on the sun-baked infields at Albion, the U-16 99 team had won it all.

The Pride U-18 team placed second in their division during roundrobin, but suffered a heartbreaking loss in the first round of the playoffs. They trailed the Fusion 98 team by a score of 4-1, but rallied in the final inning to knot the game at 4-4.

Bobbi Berkey, who is on her way to Texas on an athletic scholarship, hammered a two-run homer that cleared the fence in a last inning rally to send the game into extra innings.

The Fusion regained the lead, and held on to win 5-4.

The next event on the calendar for Ridge Meadows Minor Softball will be the Under-14 softball provincials, to be hosted at Albion Park July 17-19.
