‘A dog would be treated better’: Wife by Amy Steele asteele@mrtimes.com

Karen Young says an animal would have been treated better than her husband was in the care of the BC Ambulance Service and the Ridge Meadows RMCP in October 2008. “A dog would be treated better. I just can’t believe a human being was treated so badly. They had complete disregard for his life,” said Karen. Karen’s husband Ian Young died of a brain injury after lying in RCMP cells unmoving for eight hours. A coroner’s inquest into his death wrapped up Friday. “The only thing I can say is it was so, so needless a death and I would never, ever, ever want anybody to go through what we went through, my daughter and myself.” The inquest heard that Young had been out for drinks at By Baileys pub in Hammond

and told his friends he was walking home. Shortly afterwards a passerby called 9-1-1 when they found Young laying half on the sidewalk and half on the road. Paramedics assessed Young, saw evidence of a head injury, yet still released him to the RCMP where they knew he would be put into a drunk tank. Paramedics testified they did ask Young repeatedly if he wanted to go to the hospital but he refused and signed a form to that effect. In order to get Young into the police car paramedics lifted him from a stretcher into the car because he couldn’t walk. Once at the police station he was rolled onto a blanket and dragged across the floor to his cell. No police officer entered the cell to check on him from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. A jail guard expressed concern to the RCMP watch commander that an ambulance should be

called for him but the watch commander said Young was very drunk and “sleeping it off.” There was testimony that a paramedic told an RCMP ofﬁcer he didn’t want to take Young to the hospital and wait for hours only to be told he was drunk. The jury at the inquest has made 15 recommendations aimed at preventing a similar death. However, Young is unconvinced anything will change. “From what I know and what I’ve heard I’m not very conﬁdent because it’s not like it hasn’t happened before. It’s happened and it’s happened and it’s happened (people dying in the RCMP drunk tank),” said Karen. “These recommendations, they get sent out. They don’t have to take them on. They can just look at them and say, well that’s not feasible. They don’t have to be applied.” Karen believes her husband was treated

differently because he was intoxicated and therefore didn’t get the help he needed. She pointed to an RCMP policy: “Persons who appear to be ill, injured, unconscious or not fully conscious at the time of the arrest shall not be placed in the cell unless a physician has declared the person medically ﬁt for incarceration.” The inquest also heard that police are trained not to assume an unresponsive person in cells is just “sleeping it off.” Karen said if an ambulance had been called early enough her husband would have lived and been ﬁne. “If there’s a question they should go to the hospital,” said Karen. “I think ultimately if they had followed the policy in place then this wouldn’t have happened.” See INQUEST, Page 3

Friends in Need never solicits door-to-door The Friends in Need Food Bank is warning the public to be careful about who they donate money or food to. Joanne Olson, executive director, said the food bank has received reports of an individual claiming to be collecting on behalf of Friends in Need that is not connected with the organization. The man has handed out fraudulent charitable tax receipts in the past. Olson said Friends In Need does not solicit door to door or by phone. Olson said donations are slow right now and the organization has to buy most of its food so donations are appreciated. For more information about how to donate to Friends in Need you can call 466-3663.

Inquest recommends sobering centre INQUEST, From Page 1

She believes that if someone “isn’t able to think for themselves” paramedics should take them to the hospital. Having gone through the ordeal of the inquest Karen also believes families should have a lawyer that’s paid for. “It deﬁnitely should be looked at,” she said, adding she had to fund her own lawyer herself while taxpayer dollars paid for lawyers for the RCMP, paramedics and the District of Maple Ridge, which is responsible for the jail guards. Karen’s lawyer Cameron Ward had asked for the deputy commissioner of the RCMP and the deputy coroner of B.C. to testify about what has happened with previous recommendations from juries but his request was denied. Ward described the decision as “disappointing.” “My purpose in making the application was to try to enhance the accountability of the RCMP as an institution for these situations where

people repeatedly die in their custody in the so called drunk tank. My concern is that the recommendations that conscientious juries like this one have made over the years and over decades haven’t been taken seriously by the RCMP,” said Ward. “Mr. Young lay immobile for eight hours while his brain injury was allowed to worsen and the most troubling thing about this case is the emergency room physician confirmed that had he received timely care he undoubtedly would have survived and would have been able to lead a normal life.” Ward said he believes that paramedics and RCMP officers “develop a predisposition of a bias against those they perceive to be intoxicated and they treat them differently than they would other persons in distress.” One of the recommendations the jury made was that Fraser Health should create a sobering centre with qualified staff so emergency responders have an alternative to taking people to hospital or jail. Ward agrees with that recommendation.

“People who are brought in not for breaking the law but for being drunk in public shouldn’t be put in jail. They should be taken somewhere where they can be cared for,” he said. The jury at the inquest recommended that police physically check prisoners with “questionable consciousness or extreme intoxication” hourly and that police no longer rely on paramedics to determine if prisoners are medically safe for cells. Paramedics testiﬁed at the inquest that that isn’t their job to “clear” people for cells and that that determination should be made by a doctor. The jury recommended better documentation of a prisoner’s medical condition in a logbook for cell guards. The jury recommended that BC Ambulance Service include speciﬁc instructions to police in cases where a person is being transferred to RCMP cells and shows signs of intoxication or head injuries. The jury also recommended that BC Ambulance Service implement a policy where a person is taken to hospital for

assessment if they are intoxicated and there’s evidence of a head injury. The jury also suggested “quality assurance checks” by supervisors of paramedics and that the ambulance dispatcher should relay more detailed information about a call before paramedics respond. In Young’s case the dispatcher was told Young suffered a potential head injury but the inquest heard that paramedics weren’t told that before they arrived. The jury also recommended that if a person’s ability to make a rational decision about medical treatment is compromised paramedics and police should be legally allowed to override the patient’s refusal to get medical help and take them to the hospital. The jury also recommended that the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch review its “serving it right” program. The program is designed to prevent overserving of customers. The inquest heard that Young was found to have an extremely high blood alcohol level, which would be close to alcohol poisoning for some people.

Tamils face refugee hearings

Vessel appears to be in good shape after landing in Esquimault. by Cheryl Chan Postmedia Network

Hundreds of Tamil migrants who arrived in B.C. after several months crammed aboard a cargo ship have been transported to detention facilities in the Lower Mainland in preparation for hearings scheduled to start this week. More than 450 asylum seekers – including 350 men, 50 women and 50 children – aboard the MV Sun Sea, which was escorted by the Canadian navy to Esquimalt Harbour Friday, have been fingerprinted, photographed and provided with medical care. There were no indications of any communicable diseases on board, officials said, and no weapons were found. Canadian officials who boarded the ship said the vessel was in good shape, with separate sleeping quarters for men and women and a waste-disposal system set up. “There were hammocks hanging in the vessel,” Canada Border Services Agency spokesman Rob Johnston said during a briefing Saturday at CFB

Esquimalt. “There was a food area. There were bags of rice, dried fish, water, juice containers. There was tarping done on the rear of the vessel, which extended [sleeping capacity.] “The passengers looked fed, had adequate water and appeared to be in good spirits, but due to the sheer number of people on board, they endured very, very cramped conditions,” said Johnston. The Thai-registered MV Sun Sea, formerly known as the Harin Panich 19, was previously spotted in Thailand in the spring, according to media reports. Its voyage across the Pacific with its human cargo had been tracked by the Canadian government since June. Health authorities had set up a mini-clinic dockside to prepare for the “humanitarian emergency,” said Vancouver Island Health Authority chief medical officer Dr. Richard Crow. The migrants were assessed onboard by health officials. Twenty-seven passengers -- including two pregnant women and at least five children -- were transported to Victoria General Hospital for noncritical conditions

such as nausea, vomiting and moderate dehydration. Another six -- four adults and two children -- remained in hospital Saturday but were expected to be released shortly. On Saturday, buses ferried some of the Sri Lankan would-be refugees from Vancouver Island to Maple Ridge’s Fraser Regional Corrections Cente and Alouette Correctional Centre for Women. The Ministry of Children and Family Development took custody of women and children late Friday and has housed them in a “safe and secure location” in the Lower Mainland. They will be kept together through the refugee review process and given access to support services, including language interpreters, said ministry spokeswoman Christine Ash. The passengers onboard are expected to seek refugee status under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. Detainees are entitled to a hearing before the Immigration and Refugee Board within 48 hours, and hearings are expected to start Monday. See TAMILS, Page 5

❚ News Search and Rescue

Family spent night in Golden Ears Park

A Richmond family got stranded in “ugly” terrain in Golden Ears Provincial and had to sleep outdoors overnight Saturday before being rescued Sunday afternoon. Rick Laing, team manager for Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue, said a man in his 50s and his three children in their 20s decided to climb Golden Ears on Saturday. When they didn’t return to their campsite that evening the mother called the RCMP.

Laing said the family got as far as the emergency shelter on Panorama Ridge and were heading back down when they missed one of the switchbacks on the trail and started heading in the wrong direction. “It was a bit of an ugly area they were in. It was getting into steep terrain and some steep bush the searchers had to hike through. It took them a long time to access them,” said Laing. Laing said the searchers made voice

contact with the family around 11 a.m. after they heard the family blowing a whistle they’d been given by a parks employee. “Without that it would have been very difficult to locate them,” said Laing. Searchers got to the family around 1:30 p.m. and helped them to a location where a helicopter could land. They were flown out by helicopter around 2:30 p.m. Aside from being exhausted the family was fine, said Laing.

Police seize 2,700 marijuana plants from home

Police seized 2,700 marijuana plants from a home on 123 Avenue in Maple Ridge on August 12 after a three-week investigation. Police executed a search warrant and found the plants in the basement. They arrested a 43-year-old man who was seen leaving the residence just before the search. Police located him a short distances away. Storage shed thefts Police are warning citizens about thefts from back yard storage sheds. Thieves stole a small outboard motor, an electric winch and a gas powered pressure washer from a shed in the 20400 block of 118 Avenue. They cut off a lock to get in. It’s the third similar theft in the past week. ‘65 Mustang stolen Police are investigating the theft of a vintage red 1965 Ford Mustang that was stolen from the parking lot of the Meadow Town shopping mall, located at 19800 Lougheed Highway

in Pitt Meadows. The car was parked in the parking lot at approximately 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 12 but was found missing when the owner returned for it at approximately midnight. The car has a black, soft-top, convertible roof, and had British Columbia licence plate B16 974. Police are also looking for a stolen 14’ aluminum boat, with a small outboard motor attached. The boat had been tied to the dock at the end of Wharf Street in Maple Ridge, and went missing sometime during the night of August 13 after 9 p.m. Anyone with any information is asked to call Ridge Meadows RCMP at 463-6251. Money, bikes, tools stolen in Pitt Thieves made off with an unknown quantity of U.S. money, two mountain bikes and some tools after breaking into a home in the 115900 block of 195B Street in Pitt Meadows. Police were advised of the crime just after 11 p.m. on August 15, 2010. Police believe thieves got in through the rear sliding door. The break-in occurred between Aug. 14 and 15.

Boats being inspected for offences TAMILS, From Page 4 RCMP spokeswoman Insp. Tracey Rook said forensic experts are examining the vessel as part of an ongoing investigation. “We are currently collecting

evidence to determine if any Criminal Code offences, including human smuggling, occurred,” said Rook. Investigators will be conducting criminal and security checks on passengers, and will also be trying to distinguish between passengers and crew

members. Canadian Tamil Congress spokesman Gary Anandasangaree said he was gratiﬁed to hear about the migrants’ condition, but remains concerned about their well-being. “They’ve put the physical health aspect to rest, but the

continued worries now are their mental wellbeing and, of course, the processing of these passengers.” Anandasangaree said his group has been asking for access to the migrants and expects it will be granted in the next 24 to 48 hours. chchan@theprovince.com

HST affecting home prices across province

The new harmonized sales tax introduced in British Columbia and Ontario last month had an immediate impact on the housing market, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association. The slowdown had been expected as consumers rushed to buy homes ahead of the July 1 implementation in those provinces. The HST only applies to services used in purchasing and selling an existing home, such as real estate commission, and not the actual sale price. In British Columbia sales dropped 14.1per cent from a month ago on a seasonally adjusted basis and Ontario the decline was eight per cent. The two provinces accounted for 85 per cent of the the change in national activity. “The soft sales ﬁgures we’re seeing right now can be attributed in part to accelerated home purchases earlier in the year,” said Georges Pahud, CREA president. The group noted the drops in sales was smaller than in previous months with the Prairie provinces and Quebec staying even with June levels.However, sales are showing they cannot keep pace with the blistering activity of the second half of 2009. Actual July sales dropped 30 per cent from a year ago when activity set a record for the month. Still, for

the ﬁrst seven months of this year sales remain up 5.6% from a year ago. CREA warned activity will be off for the rest of of 2010 on a year-over-year basis. “Activity may remain at lower levels for some time, but ultimately we expect a more stable market to emerge, with demand coming back into line with economic fundamentals, said Mr. Pahud. “While the outlook for economic and job growth remains generally positive nationally and in all provinces, the pace of the recovery will vary by region.” The housing market continues to get a boost from supply dropping which is expected to keep prices stable. The seasonally adjusted number of new residential listings fell 7.2 per cent in July from June. Postmedia News

Fishermen lined the banks of the Fraser River this weekend. Jenelle Schneider

Fraser crowded as fish return Postmedia Network

ith estimates of Fraser River salmon steadily rising, sports fishermen got their first weekend outing Saturday since recreational sockeye fishing was opened up on parts of the river last week. Dave Wood was out on the river at 5:30 Saturday morning at Pegleg Bar, near Chilliwack. He caught a spring salmon and a sockeye salmon, which he planned to cook up for dinner for friends visiting from England. He said the river was so busy that fishermen were standing five feet away from each other. The atmosphere among those taking advantage of the rare sockeye sports fishing opportunity was also upbeat. “Everybody’s like, ‘Holy smokes, it’s open, let’s go,’” he said. “I stood next to some people who were very friendly, and you know we were having a laugh, and they’re all very supportive when you catch a fish.” The numbers of returning sockeye salmon are much higher this year than the last three years, according to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Between seven and 11 million sockeye are expected to return to the Fraser River this year. John Reynolds, a fish biologist with Simon Fraser University, said so far the actual numbers of fish have been even better than

forecast. He said there were about twice as many salmon as expected in the first group of fish, and the latest forecast for the early-summer run is two to three times larger than expected. “The preliminary indications are extremely good,” he said. “Touch wood that the largest run, which is only now just starting to materialize, if it follows what its predecessors have done over the last few weeks, then we will be in for a good year.” Numbers released by the Pacific Salmon Commission on Friday indicate that early summer-run estimates have increased from 1.6 million

sockeye to two million. These numbers are good news for everyone, said Reynolds, from commercial ﬁshermen to aboriginal ﬁshermen to animals that depend upon the sockeye for food. “The bigger picture here is that this is just plain good news for everybody connected with salmon,” he said. However, this year’s increased estimates won’t necessarily translate into growing numbers of sockeye in coming years. There has been a declining trend during the last 15 years, said Reynolds. “Every year is quite

Recreational daytime fishing will be permitted from Mission all the way up to Alexandra Bridge in the Fraser Canyon, excluding Landstrom Bar, until further notice, according to the Fisheries. ycole@theprovince.com

Reduce ARTHRITIS Pain free in 2 weeks! risk of cancer

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products,physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught #1 because of their bones/cartilage. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100 testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples: ! Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON !My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA!I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON!Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping.

Each year, millions of new cases of cancer are diagnosed across the globe. Although there is no definitive cause for many of the cancers out there, certain lifestyle choices put a person at a greater risk for cancer. By making a few simple changes, that risk can be reduced. 1. Eat steamed broccoli. Broccoli is one of the superfoods purported to help reduce cancer risk. However, microwaving or overcooking broccoli can destroy up to 97 per cent of broccoli’s cancerpreventing flavanoids. 2. Load up on garlic. Garlic might contribute to bad breath, but the side effect may be worth it. Garlic contains sulfur that can help fend off cancer by stimulating the body’s natural immune system. 3. Enjoy orange foods. Sweet potatoes, carrots and cantaloupe contain carotinoids, which can reduce risk of cancer. 4. Eat some blueberries. Blueberries top the list for antioxidants. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, which can contribute to cancer. 5. Drink plenty of water. The body needs water to stay healthy and flush out contaminants. Therefore, enjoy eight glasses per day. 6. Get a little sunlight. Not only does sunlight boost mood, which can reduce stress and keep the body in top form, the body receives most of its vitamin D from the sun. Too little vitamin D can actually contribute to some cancers. 7. Reduce animal fat intake. Cut down on the amount of high-fat dairy and meat products consumed. 8. Walk 30 minutes a day. 9. Reduce exposure to chemicals. Let those dandelions sprout in the lawn, skip dry cleaning clothes and use natural items around the house for cleaning. This reduces a person’s exposure to potentially toxic chemicals that may contribute to cancer. 10. Choose organic whenever possible. Organic foods are grown without chemical pesticides and fertilizers, making them better for the body.

Cancer myths dispelled People who have been diagnosed with cancer often begin looking for information about their condition. In addition, well-meaning family members commonly search for answers to their many questions. However, with an abundance of information out there, there is bound to be some which is inaccurate. As a result, many cancer myths have been circulating for years. It’s important to consult with a doctor or a reputable source for cancer information. Reputable sources include the American Cancer Society or the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Here are some common myths debunked. Myth: Cancer is hereditary. Truth: Although cancer starts in the genes, just because a parent or sibling has cancer doesn’t mean their relatives will also contract the disease. Only 5 to 10 percent of cancers are hereditary. Myth: Cancer is a death sentence. Truth: There are a number of successful treatments for cancer. In fact, 60 percent of people live ﬁve or more years after an initial diagnosis.

Myth: Antiperspirants cause cancer. Truth: Although the body can absorb the aluminum that is contained in many antiperspirants, there is no deﬁnitive proof that these products cause cancer. Myth: Most people who develop cancer have a weakened immune system. Fact: The majority of common cancers are not the result of a compromised immune system. The strength of one’s immune system does not affect the risk of contracting cancer. Myth: Some people are just too old for cancer treatment. Fact: Cancer treatment is not limited by age. However, treatment may be limited by other pre-existing conditions. Myth: Eating sugar makes cancer grow faster. Fact: Although cells need sugar for growth, reducing sugar intake will not be a successful treatment for reducing cancer. Myth: Cancer causes hair loss. Fact: It is actually the cancer treatment, such as chemotherapy and radiation, that may cause hair loss. Not everyone experiences hair loss as a side effect.

Exercise despite poor mobility Exercise is important for all people, including the elderly. Yet, seniors who have limited mobility or are confined to a wheelchair may think they couldn’t possibly exercise. However, there are many things such individuals can do to stay in shape – all while sitting down. Doctors recommend at least 30 minutes of daily exercise for most people. Exercise is beneficial for seniors because it keeps muscles from atrophying, improves mental alertness, strengthens bones, and leads to a healthier metabolism, among other things. For seniors who think they won’t be able to handle traditional exercise, chair exercises or modified pilates can be effective, even for those with trouble walking or standing for extended periods of time. To get started, all one needs is some loose-fitting clothing and a chair. Begin by doing some stretching movements of the neck, arms and legs. Rotate the head left and right and in circles to stretch the neck and back muscles. Lift arms over the head and slowly drop down to the sides of the body to stretch arms and back muscles. Lift and lower the legs a few times to warm them up. To begin exercises, start slowly and gradually build up repetitions. Exercises to try include boxing or punching into the air, arm circles, and arm curls. For the legs, work the back and front of the legs. Kick the legs out in front of the body several times. Hold legs parallel to the floor (as much as possible) and do leg crosses. Put feet flat on the floor and lift up the heels.

Keep feet on the ﬂoor and push down to work the buttocks and the top of the thighs. Individuals who have mastered these exercises and have been told by a doctor that it is OK to do something a bit more strenuous may want to add very light weights to the equation for more resistance. Two or ﬁve pound weights are all that’s needed to give muscles even more of a workout. Those looking to change things up from day to day can think about doing yoga in a chair or even tai chi exercises. Deep breathing and

meditation after workouts can be part of a cool down and stress-relief program. If swimming is possible, or even simply entering a pool, water provides gentle resistance and could be a good way to work the body in a gradual manner. Buoyancy from the water will be easy on joints and this type of exercise is very low-impact. Remember to always consult a doctor before beginning any type of exercise regimen, be it with a personal trainer or on your own. The doctor can discuss which type of exercises may be safe.

❚ Our View

Local place needed for sobering up

The most poignant moment in the Ian Young inquest was when his wife described how his nine-year-old daughter would paint his toenails or put ribbons and clips into the 55-year-old former millworker’s hair. Now 11 years old, Young’s daughter no longer has a father. Young died of a brain injury in 2008 after lying in one position for eight hours in an RCMP drunk tank cell. The inquest heard that paramedics helped lift Young from a stretcher into a police car because he was unable to walk. The two paramedics that testified said they asked Young repeatedly if he wanted to go to the hospital but he refused. However, a police officer testified that a paramedic told her he didn’t want to take Young to the hospital because it would mean waiting for hours to be told he was just drunk. This is even though the paramedics saw evidence of a head injury when Young was assessed. Once at the police station Young was then rolled onto a blanket and dragged into a cell. No one entered the cell to check on him between 10:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. A jail guard asked the RCMP watch commander to call an ambulance at 2:30 a.m. because he was concerned about Young. However, the watch commander said Young was drunk and just sleeping it off. Jail guards aren’t allowed to enter cells without RCMP officers present. Meanwhile, Young was dying. The jury has made a series of recommendations into preventing such a death from occurring again. They took the task seriously, working at the recommendations until 11:30 p.m. on a Friday evening. However, as Young’s wife Karen and her lawyer Cameron Ward both point out, if existing RCMP policies had been followed Young likely would not have died. They also point out that if recommendations from previous coroner’s inquests involving people who died in RCMP custody had been implemented Young likely would not have died. Ward asked to have the deputy commissioner of the RCMP and the deputy coroner of B.C. take the stand to testify about what has happened with previous recommendations but his request was denied. The TIMES believes inquest recommendations, as long as they are well-founded, should immediately be implemented. Otherwise what is the point of an expensive, time consuming inquest if it doesn’t prevent future deaths? One of the jury recommendations was a sobering centre so police have an alternative to taking drunk or high people into the drunk tank. Young’s cellmate, who admitted chronic alcoholism, testified it can be a three-week wait to get into the Surrey detox centre. Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows need their own detox or sobering centre where people with the disease of addiction can get help and remain safe. Police, who are not medical experts, could then focus on policing the community.

Hammond ‘poor cousin’ to Haney Editor: Re: Hammond rich with history, Aug. 3, 2010 I moved to Port Hammond four years ago and bought a ‘heritage house’ in the area. My reason for moving to Maple Ridge was because I wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of trafﬁc in Vancouver/Burnaby, and when I discovered Port Hammond I thought it was a diamond in the rough. I knew nothing of “Maple Ridge politics” when I moved here, but I did see what other municipalities in the GVRD were doing to try and preserve and restore the remaining historic neighborhoods in our region. Shame on me for assuming that Maple Ridge council also valued its history and would be working towards preserving and restoring this area. Michael Morden states in the article that “Nobody bothered to consult anyone in (Port) Hammond about this application. The key is neighbourhood consultation.” Maple Ridge Museum director Val Patenaude later goes on to state “The people of Hammond...are going to have to get together and ﬁnd a way to maintain the personality (of the

neighbourhood).” These statements are somewhat contradictory and I think they symbolize what’s been happening in Port Hammond. From talking with long-time residents in the area it appears that the neighbourhood’s relationship with municipal council has been purely adversarial. Past community associations and residents have fought to get their message across, but in the end it has always landed on deaf ears. The industrial building on Maple Crescent that passed third reading, the trafﬁc volume increases on Maple Crescent and the lack of a community plan are all

issues that residents have raised with council over the years to no avail. In his letter to the editor on Aug. 6, Eric Phillips (the past president of the Hammond Community Association) surmises “the heritage commission is more interested in promoting themselves with the district than protecting the heritage... in Port Hammond or any other part of Maple Ridge.” Last year I attended a meeting of the Maple Ridge heritage commission because several houses were being torn down in the area and I wanted to ﬁnd out what the community plan was for my neighborhood. To my surprise the meeting

I attended was a focus group to try and determine “what the heritage of Maple Ridge was.” The focus group was being run by consultants hired by the city, and we spent the evening trying to ﬁgure out what our heritage was. I think the money could have been better spent, as the city and/or heritage commission could have simply gone to the library and read about the history and heritage of the area. What struck me as odd about the meeting was that the consultants bent over backwards to try and steer us away from talking about neighbourhoods or buildings as being the basis of our heritage.

Instead it felt like we were being directed towards accepting ‘green space’ as our city’s heritage. Prior to attending this “focus group,” I had done quite a bit of research on my house and was thinking of approaching the city to have it declared a heritage site. Instead I now ﬁnd myself holding off because what’s the point of trying to preserve one house that will soon be surrounded by apartment buildings? If the city doesn’t care about its heritage why should I? I think this is the mood of many residents in the area. Why would we want to band together to try and ﬁght city hall, when it appears past efforts have failed? I think the city would get a different reaction and more interaction from residents in the area if they stepped up to the plate as leaders and actually

consulted with residents and listened to what was said. I doubt council will ever take the time to look at the issues in our neighbourhood, or work towards preserving part of our city’s heritage, because it almost appears that Port Hammond is considered the “poor cousin” to Port Haney and the other historic neighbourhoods in the city. I moved to this neighbourhood for its heritage value, but in the end I have to agree with M. Reinhart’s letter dated Aug. 10. If city council is not concerned with protecting part of our city’s heritage, bring on the development so that issues in the area get addressed, and those of us who want to live in a historic setting can sell at a proﬁt and get the heck out of here.

Majority of students plan to work while studying

Although having a part-time job could affect their grades, students worry about not being able to pay the bills.

With just a few weeks left before the start of the school year, many Canadian postsecondary students say they are worried about making enough money to pay the bills, even though most say working during school will affect their grades, according to an RBC/ Ipsos Reid poll released on Aug. 16. The RBC Student Finances Study found 57 per cent of students say they plan to work during the school year in order to help pay the bills, 77 per cent believe working parttime during school will affect their grades, and 66 per cent say worrying about money

will affect their grades. The majority, 60 per cent, say they expect to graduate with debt. However 74 per cent of students don’t use a budget. According to the latest data from Statistics Canada, those graduating in 2005 had an average debt load of $18,800, up from $15,200 a decade earlier. The majority of students, 57 per cent, were forced to borrow money to ﬁnance their postsecondary education, up from 49 per cent 10 years earlier. Not surprisingly, 44 per cent of students who do not plan to work part time are more likely to rely on their parents for ﬁnancial support and 46 per cent who believe they will graduate debt-free rely on their parents for

Shop early for school supplies With school rapidly approaching once again, the annual trek to the store to get school supplies is about to return as well. Whereas shopping for school supplies was once limited largely to ﬁnding pens, pencils and notebooks, today’s parents are ﬁnding that school supplies are becoming more expensive, and that a wider array of items are requested each and every year. That said, shopping for school supplies doesn’t have to be so overwhelming, no matter how long your child’s list is. Buy generic when possible. Generic supplies are typically less expensive and will help ensure that you won’t have to purchase all new supplies the next time the latest blockbuster movie comes out. The early bird gets the worm. Avoid shopping for school supplies at the last minute. Starting early allows you to shop the sales and keep an eye out for bargains.

Buy in bulk. Buying in bulk can save you signiﬁcant amounts of money, particularly for parents of more than one student. This is ideal for supplies that are used more than others, such as pens and pencils, paper, and paper clips. Shop best price for the value. Supplies need to handle the wear and tear of an entire school year, so cheaper items that won’t make it through the year could cost more in the long run. Spend more time and money when shopping for electronics such as scientiﬁc calculators. Work with teachers at your child’s school. See if your child’s school can implement a policy to send home school supply lists at the end of the school year so parents can get a head start on purchases over the summer. Some tech-savvy teachers have their own Web pages where they list supplies, reading lists and homework assignments.

a release. “Ideally parents should start putting money away for their children’s education when their kids are young but if they haven’t saved, or saved enough, there are ﬂexible, cost-effective options that can help.” The RBC survey was conducted online between June 24 and June 29, and polled 531 Canadian post-secondary students under the age of 25. The results are considered accurate to within plus or minus 4.3 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. The TD poll was collected through two polls, one of 600 Canadian parents conducted by Environics Research between July 15 to 19. The second was a survey of 1,001 post-secondary students or recent graduates aged 18 to 24.

financial assistance, according to RBC. However, according to a TD Canada Trust Education and Finances Survey, also released Monday, 87 per cent of parents say they plan to pay all or part of the costs of their child’s post-secondary education, but 26 per cent say they have yet to start saving. Another 15 per cent say they have no idea how they will finance it and 10 per cent of parents say they plan to use either credit cards or their line of credit to pay for their child’s education. “While the long-term benefits of a postsecondary degree are significant, so is the price tag,” Lawrence Engel, vice-president of personal lending at TD Canada Trust, said in

Peewee Knights win home tourney

Each of the Meadow Ridge Knights teams were able to place fourth or better in this year’s Knights of the Roundtable tournament at the Albion Sports Complex this weekend. That includes the peewee Knights, who won ﬁrst place after beating Abbotsford 6-0, tying Burnaby 0-0, and winning 24-6 and 18-0 over Royal City and North Delta. Drake Kindred scored ﬁve touchdowns throughout the four games for the peewee Knights. In what was supposed to be the main event of the weekend with the midget Knights (aged 16-18) facing the Burnaby Lions, the game ended up being a friendly mix-and-match contest.

This is because Burnaby only brought 15 players, which isn’t quite enough to field a competitive team. The two teams were mixed together and the coaches of each drafted players in order to let the kids play at least somewhat of a game due to the visiting team’s attendance. This is the second year in a row that the midget game didn’t really happen. Pictured below are the two teams playing with and against each other. In the atom division, the Gold Knights finished third, while the Blue Knights finished fourth. Burnaby’s bantam and junior bantam team’s pulled out of the

tournament just before it started, so Meadow Ridge wasn’t able to get any rest between games. The junior bantam Knights finished in a tie for second place – Abbotsford finished first – after playing four straight games in Sunday’s heat. The bantam Knights also finished in second place behind North Surrey. Being a pre-season tournament, the bantam Knights made sure everyone received even playing time, but that tactic was lost on the other teams in that division who only played projected starters. The Knights of the Roundtable tournament is one of the biggest football tournaments in B.C., with more than 700 players competing.

The Meadow Ridge Knights play a friendly, mix-and-match game on Sunday with the Burnaby Lions at Albion Field in the annual Knights of the Roundtable tournament. Matt Law/TIMES

Mediocrity can turn an athlete into a coach by Scott McKenzie editorial@mrtimes.com

I’ve grown up playing every sport possible. Hockey is the obvious one I’ve been struggling at that since I was a ﬁve-year-old, and was just kicked off a beer league team for a poor playoff performance. Being sixfoot-ﬁve, I of course played basketball. But at Garibaldi, well, let’s just say basketball isn’t the same as it is at Pitt or Ridge. I don’t think we won a single league game my senior year. I can remember a game against Centennial (Coquitlam) when one of their players had more points than my entire team at

halftime. There’s been other sports in there too. Football (I was too skinny), volleyball (couldn’t jump that high), baseball (couldn’t hit for the life of me) and I’m still playing lacrosse (too skinny for that, too). No track and ﬁeld or anything like that, though, because in the words of Kenny Powers, I’m not trying to be the best at exercising. So naturally, when you’re not overly good at anything, you become a fan. Being a fan is really the ultimate way to be part of a team. It’s like warming the bench without actually having to worry about screwing

everything up should you have to play. In 2008, a friend of mine told me to come to a college football game in Seattle. The Washington Huskies vs. the Oklahoma Sooners. I loved it so much more than the CFL or the NFL and couldn’t get enough of it. And when you become a hardcore college football fan, you pay attention to grassroots football to ﬁnd out who your team’s next star is going to be. I became so interested in it that I e-mailed Meadow Ridge Knights president George Clarke to see if I could help out. Since June, I’ve been helping coach the peewee

Knights football team and have found out how ridiculously smart and talented some of these 10 and 11-year-old kids are and how much fun football is to be around. I’m one of six or seven coaches on that “staff” and each of us is always needed to run the kids through drills. This past weekend, our Knights won the peewee division of the Knights of the Roundtable tournament by a combined score of 48-6 over four games on Sunday. Being 22, there was a lot of stuff I had forgotten from my football days and for a little bit I was still getting confused with some of the plays, and the kids running

them haven’t even graduated elementary school. Still they were able to get them down in the sweltering heat and pour 24 points on New West and 18 points on North Delta in just 25-minute games. Burnaby’s coach even went out of his way to congratulate one of our guys on being “a helluva player.” I won’t start mentioning names for the fear of forgetting one of the players and getting the water cooler treatment (again) next practice. The kids practice three times a week, and then play tournaments on weekends, and this is in August when temperatures are starting to

get past the thirties. Even though it seems that every season fewer and fewer kids are turning out for community football, the quality of people in and around the game have stayed at a really high standard. There hasn’t been any of the over-parenting that you’d expect in minor sports and there’s an obvious, but unspoken mantra of letting the coaches coach. With Pitt Meadows and Samuel Robertson Secondary schools now offering high school football, there is opportunity for the sport to grow and be showcased locally, as most of the elite players had been playing in Coquitlam.

Rosie is beautiful young cat

with the cheerful exuberance of Tigger from Winnie the Pooh. At a year and a half old, she has the lively conﬁdence of a kitten. She was excited to make friends with a volunteer who came to meet her in her new-cat cage and she soaked up some attention eagerly!

t’s official: British Columbians are dog snobs. But according to animal welfare advocates, that’s nothing to be proud of. A national survey has found that more than half of British Columbia’s dog owners – 51 per cent – bought their dog from a breeder rather than adopting a homeless canine from a shelter. This figure represents the highest instance of breeder-bought pooches in the country, a full eight points higher than the 43 per cent nationally. The Harris-Decima poll released Monday also found that Canadians are mostly unaware of the sheer number of homeless shelter dogs across the country. The largest proportion of the poll’s 1,008 telephone respondents – 11 per cent – put the number of unwanted dogs brought to shelters in Canada every year at 10,000. According to the survey’s statistics, the actual number of dogs admitted to shelters annually is over three times that, at more than 36,000. Many of these animals are destroyed when homes cannot be found for them. Peter Fricker of the Vancouver Humane Society wouldn’t speculate on why British Columbians seem to be excessively picky in their preference for pet stores and puppy breeders over the local pound, or whether the figure suggests there are fewer shelter dogs in B.C. to choose from compared with other provinces. He noted, however, that with thousands of shelter dogs in B.C., the idea that you can’t get exactly the dog you want unless you go to a breeder is a tragic misconception. “If they are set on getting a particular type of dog that suits their lifestyle and that they prefer, there are rescue groups for certain breeds and we recommend that they try and find those groups locally to find a particular breed rather than going to a breeder first,” said Fricker. According to Kim Monteith of the Vancouver B.C. SPCA, its shelters are a revolving door of exotic and pedigree puppies and adult dogs. The key is just to keep checking. “If they only knew; I had two purebred

Postmedia Network

Yorkies in here last week,” she said. “One was six months old and one was a year and a half. We’ve had beagles, poodles, a goldendoodle. We’ve had them all.” More than just a repository for downtrodden dogs, shelters such as those operated by the B.C. SPCA have programs to ensure all their animals are of a suitable temperament and training-level for potential adopters and are in the best health possible. This, said Fricker, raises another misconception that people have about going to pet stores and puppy mills: that if you’re paying a lot of money, you’ll get a healthy pet. “The big issue is genetic defects,” he said, noting that inbreeding among selectively bred dogs has brought about several hundred genetic diseases. “People pay huge sums of money for pedigree dogs and often they have all these genetic defects.” These defects can prove costly, as vet bills for surgeries and long-term care pile up. If the owner can’t afford or doesn’t want the continuing expense of a purebred dog, the animal ends up in a shelter anyway. Increasingly, however, breeders are crossing different pedigrees to avoid the pitfalls of a shallow gene pool. “I just breed my own pets,” said Joanne Nicolato, a Burnaby Pomeranian-poodle breeder whose online ad says she will not sell to puppy brokers or pet stores. “I stay up all night when the puppies are being born and I have four children who handle them and they’re taken care of like pets.” According to Corry Anderson-Fennell, spokeswoman for the B.C. SPCA, the organization’s 31 shelters across the province took in 8,798 adult dogs and 2,157 puppies in 2009. The Vancouver shelter took in 632 dogs; Surrey had 1,234; Burnaby 442; and the Victoria branch had 679 dogs surrendered to its care. These numbers, which do not include municipal pounds and private animal sanctuaries, suggest the Harris-Decima poll’s estimated 36,000 sheltered dogs nationwide is low. “That seems incredibly low,” said Anderson-Fennell. “Thousands more that we don’t have stats on end up at city pounds, humane societies and independent rescues, including breed rescue groups.”

at the photo contest entries,” says Dubois. “It’s a testament to the calibre of photos that are entered.” The 2010 Wildlife-In-Focus contest is a fundraiser for Wild ARC, the B.C. SPCA’s wildlife rehabilitation facility on Vancouver Island. Wild ARC cares for more than 1,900 orphaned and injured wild animals a year. The contest is open to all adult backyard and amateur photographers (16 years+) in B.C. Learn more about this year’s contest and see winners from the 2009 contest, including photographer Robin Bassett’s stunning image of a Steller’s jay, which claimed first place in the backyard habitat category, at spca.bc.ca/ wildlife-in-focus. The Wildlife-In-Focus contest encourages participants to explore greenspaces, roadsides, beaches and even backyards to find striking images that represent the resiliency of local wildlife living at the interface with humans. Wildlife includes free-living birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish and insects, but not exotic, feral or domestic animals, or wildlife in zoos or rehabilitation facilities.

on’t be shy, shutterbugs – you only have two weeks left to shoot the wildlife in your community. “Of course, we mean ‘shoot’ in the camera sense,” says Sara Dubois, manager of wildlife services for the B.C. SPCA. The deadline for the B.C. SPCA’s 2010 Wildlife-In-Focus photography contest is Aug. 31, which means backyard and amateur photographers only have just over two weeks to enter. Prizes will be awarded for the top three photos in each of two categories – Wild Settings and Backyard Habitats. Plus, all entries will be considered by Vancouver author Nicholas Read for his upcoming book, City Critters: Living Wild in the Urban Jungle, from Orca Book Publishers. City Critters is a full colour children’s book about the urban wildlife who call Canada and the United States home.
