Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows News - July 15, 2011 Online Edition

The Fraser River poses no immediate threat of fl ooding, but the rising and rushing wa-ter isn’t making life any easier for those who rely on it.

After heavy rains up north, the water worked its way downstream, hit Hope, then the Mission gauge, leading the B.C. River Forecast Centre to issue a high streamfl ow advi-sory for the lower Fraser River on Wednesday and Thursday.

That could have seen the water lapping at the six-metre mark on the Mission gauge, but on Thursday morning it had only hit the 5.7-m level and was already starting to drop.

That’s just a bit lower than the 5.85 metres reached on July 5.

In his 10 months as an em-ployee of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Bear logged

several impressive take-downs. He sniffed out evidence dumped

following a break-and-enter, tracked down one of several men responsible for a home invasion,

and helped his partner arrest a man who fl ed in a car after a do-mestic dispute.

On Tuesday, the black, pure-bred German shepherd picked up the scent of someone who had forced their way into a Maple Ridge home around 11:40 p.m., looking for drugs.

At least three men burst into the house on Lougheed Highway near 220th Street, the force they used to get inside evident in the large gashes left on the front door.

All fl ed when they heard police

nearing. Bear and his

handler pur-sued them, heading west along the highway. Po-lice won’t say whether Bear was on a leash or had been released to tackle the suspect. He was not wearing a refl ective vest.

A few blocks away from the

crime scene, Bear was struck by two cars – fi rst a SUV, driven by a Surrey resident, then a minivan, with a driver from Coquitlam.

Bear was trapped underneath it and died on the road from his injuries.

RCMP Cpl. Dale Somerville, who was at the scene within three minutes, found nothing wrong with the drivers. Both were obey-ing the speed limit and were not drunk.

He said both didn’t know what they had hit.

Joy Nyoka and her three children were gathered

in the living room of their Pitt Meadows townhome last Friday, half a world away from the images on their television screen of jubilant celebration, as the fledgling nation of South Sudan marked its independence from Sudan.

Throngs of singers and dancers paraded through the streets of the South Sudanese capital of Juba as the world’s youngest country cel-ebrated its birth July 9 following a January referendum.

For Nyoka, who grew up in Juba, the scenes hit close to home.

Nyoka left her home almost 20 years ago to escape the bloody civil war that raged through the country.

“Words can’t express how happy we all are,” she says. “This means peace, fi nally. This means my family will be safe.”

Sudan has long been a fractured state with little connecting the North and the South other than geography. Northern Sudan is predominantly Arab and Muslim, while the South is African and Christian.

While much of the country’s natu-ral resources reside in the South, it was the North that profi ted from them.

“In the North, we Southerners are treated differently, we’re considered a lower class,” says Nyoka.

Sudan has been in a state of civil war almost continuously since 1955. Many in the South have never known peace.

Nyoka’s parents were both refu-gees during the fi rst Sudanese civil war, when the Anyanya rebel army fi rst fought for Southern indepen-dence. The confl ict ended in 1972 with close to half a million killed in the fi ghting, and a decade of relative peace followed.

“I was born then,” says Nyoka. “Many children were born in those years.”

The peace was short-lived, howev-er. Tensions between the North and the South once again fl ared, and in 1983, the second

Sudanese civil war began, ulti-mately leaving two million people dead from violence and famine, while more than four million were forced to leave their homes.

Nyoka was one of them. As vio-lence engulfed Juba, she was forced to leave her home at the age of 14, and soon became separated from her family.

Her parents, her brothers and her sisters were gone.

She was alone, in middle of one of the bloodiest confl icts since the Sec-ond World War.

Nyoka fl ed south on her own, along with millions of other South Suda-nese, for the comparable safety of refugee camps across the border in northern Uganda.

She remained there for almost a decade, and soon met her aunt there, who helped her reconnect with some

of her brothers and sisters and cous-ins.

It was also in the refugee camps where she met Isaac Hakim, the man she would marry.

After a chance conversation with a United Nations worker, Nyoka learned that because she had been separated from her family, she would be eligible for refugee status in Canada. She soon applied, and waited for three years as the bu-reaucratic process lurched to make a decision on her fate.

“I knew nothing about Canada, ex-cept it was safer than where I was,” she says.

During the years Nyoka waited,

she and Hakim married and the two had a daughter together, who they named Keji.

Finally, seven years ago, Nyoka and Keji were granted permission to immigrate to Canada as refugees.

Hakim, however, would have to stay.

“It was a mixed feeling,” she says of arriving in Canada. “I was happy because I was safe, but I was so far away from my home and everyone I knew.

“I felt so alone.”To make matters worse, Nyoka

was two months pregnant when she arrived.

Hakim began the process of im-

migrating to Canada, but he was still in Uganda when Nyoka gave birth to their son, whom she named James.

The couple talked on the phone al-most every day during their separa-tion, which stretched on for years.

Adjusting to life in Canada was dif-fi cult, Nyoka says. The culture was so different from Africa, and not having any support made the adjust-ment all the more diffi cult.

She found work as a cleaner to make ends meet and sent money back home for Hakim, all the while caring for Keji and James on her own.

“There are no jobs in a refugee camp,” Nyoka says. “He had nothing, so I had to do what I could to support him.”

It wasn’t until 2006 that she was fi -nally reunited with her husband.

“It was one of the happiest days in the world,” Nyoka says. “It was such a relief to see him again.”

The family was whole once more. Soon they greeted a new addition, baby Peter.

However, the family’s elation would soon turn to grief.

Just a year after arriving in Can-ada, Hakim suddenly passed away, leaving Nyoka without a husband, and her children without a father.

“He was sick for a day or two and we went to the doctor,” says Nyoka. “They gave him some antibiotics and said to go to the hospital the next day to get an X-ray.”

Hakim never woke up.Nyoka returned to Sudan for the

fi rst time in 2008 to bury Hakim on Sudanese soil. It was the fi rst time her children set foot in their home-land.

“They only know Canada,” she says. “It is strange, but they are Ca-nadian now.”

For Nyoka and many South Suda-nese expatriates around the world, the independence of South Sudan means hope that a stable peace will fi nally take hold.

While a cease-fi re agreement was reached in 2005 with the Sudanese government, pockets of fi ghting have fl ared up intermittently since.

“For years, war could break out at any time,” she says. “I was always so worried for my family’s safety.”

Members of the South Sudanese diaspora gathered at Moody Park in New Westminster on July 9 to celebrate their homeland’s indepen-dence. Nyoka said her family in Juba stayed up past midnight to celebrate the birth of their new nation.

The Canadian federal government formally recognized South Sudan as a nation on July 9, and on Thursday, the UN admitted the country as its 193rd member.

Nyoka says while her homeland may be safe to return to for a visit, she is Canadian now, and doesn’t plan to move back home.

“I’m so thankful for the govern-ment of Canada, for standing with South Sudan and for making Cana-da feel like home for the South Suda-nese here,” she says. “I had not seen peace until I came to Canada.

“I hope South Sudan will see peace, too.”

Earl Harmata often gets told he looks younger than his

98 years. Always dapper in a suit and hat, he’s a familiar site around downtown Maple Ridge, often seen zooming down streets on his mo-torized scooter.

On Monday, around 8 p.m., he had a hanker-ing for fi sh and chips.

“The sun was going down,” he says. “So I thought I’d zoom, zoom down. It’s close by.”

He got to the Sea Shanty on Dewdney Trunk Road, unaware it was already closed, parked his scooter near the window and saun-tered up to a table.

A regular at the Sea Shanty, Cindy Little-wood and her staff didn’t have the heart to turn Harmata away. They turned on the cof-fee, then fried up a piece of cod and some chips for him.

But when Harmata fi nished his dinner and walked out to ride his scooter home, it had vanished.

“I tell you these loaf-

ers, they steal anything,” says Harmata, his quiet voice rising in anger.

Born in 1912, Harmata likes to tinker. He’s got a collection of scooters he bought off other se-niors. He fi xes them up, sells them or rents them out.

But the one that was stolen Monday was the best of the bunch.

“It can go three trips to Zellers and back be-fore losing its charge,” says Harmata.

Littlewood called po-lice when she found out someone had stolen the scooter, then she drove around Maple Ridge looking for it. When she got home, she posted a message on her Fa-cebook page, asking

people to keep an eye out for the grey scooter with a red seat and mis-matched rear tires.

“I was just really up-set,” she says.

“I was shocked. I couldn’t believe some-body would do some-thing like that.”

Harmata believes the thief couldn’t have gone far. The scooter would

probably have lasted just 10 blocks before it losing its charge.

“The thieves, they take glory in stealing,” he says.

OFF THE ROADThe other day I was sitting in my offi ce,

which is located one block east of the intersection of 207th and Lougheed, staring in disbelief at what was unfolding in front of my eyes. The Westbound left turning lane directly in front of my offi ce window was the scene of a minor fender bender, located at the beginning of the access to the turning lane. This is a very busy intersection with constant traffi c fl ow. I know this as I witness it every day.

The occupants of both vehicles got out and proceeded to have a long winded conversation right there in the middle of a very busy highway. Further, one of them got out his camera and proceeded to take pictures of both vehicles. This fellow seemed to be totally oblivious to the traffi c problems he was creating and the risk to his life that he was putting himself into.

I have recently experienced a long wait in a traffi c jam on the return from a long weekend due to another minor accident involving two vehicle owner’s that did not have the common sense to get off the road. I found it very frustrating as I am sure most of you do when you witness something like this.

When you're involved in a minor accident, do not stand around any longer than it takes to assess that you can safely drive your vehicle off the road. The roadway is not the place to discuss the accident or to survey the damage to your vehicle. It’s in fact a very dangerous place to be and the quicker you remove yourself from this precarious position, the better off everyone will be. Especially those other people trying to use the road for driving to and fro. They can get back to their travels uninterrupted, as it should be.

Always have a pen in your vehicle to write down the name, address, phone number of the person or persons in the other vehicle as well as any witnesses that you can fi nd. Take the time to write down the make, model, vehicle identifi cation number as well as the licence number of the other vehicle(s) involved. Your window of opportunity to get creditable witnesses is very limited, so be aggressive and ask everybody you can see if they saw the accident. Most other motorists are more likely to pull over on the side of the road to assist you, rather than stop in the middle of traffi c.

So remember when you're involved in a minor accident: you need to stay calm. It’s not up to you to determine who was in the wrong, that’s someone else’s job. The best thing you can do is get off the road so you don’t cause another accident, gather as much information as you can and write it all down. If you have a cell phone that takes pics, take pics of everything you can, it’s a very important tool.


A guard at a Maple Ridge men’s prison was punched several times by an inmate last week.

The corrections officer was at-tacked in the common area of a general population cell unit at the Fraser Regional Correctional Cen-tre during the dinner hour July 5.

Dean Purdy, a spokesperson for the B.C. Government Employees Union’s correctional and sheriff services section, said the guard, who was supervising 32 men, was hit in the head several times.

The assault is the second attack on staff since May 16, when a su-pervisor was kicked in the head by an inmate.

“It goes to show how dangerous our jobs are,” said Purdy.

“Violence levels in provincial jails are steadily increasing.”

The prison guard union continues to blame overcrowding for contrib-uting to many of the problems at Fraser regional, including a steady availability of illegal drugs, an in-crease in assault on corrections of-ficers and “walkaways” from work crews.

Originally built to hold 254 in-mates, the union notes Fraser re-gional is 200 per cent over capacity.

On July 5, there were 513 inmates at the prison located on 256th

Street. It has 304 cells, including tempo-

rary structures built next the main building, and each cell can accom-modate two inmates.

B.C. Corrections stressed that staff do everything they can to maintain a safe and secure living environment.

That said, given the criminal his-tories of those in custody, and the large number of people with ad-diction and mental health issues, occasional violent outbursts are a reality.

“The safety and security of pro-vincial correctional officers is a top priority for B.C. Corrections and any incidence of violence against staff is taken very seriously,” said a spokesperson.

Even as the inmate population has grown at Fraser regional, there has been no significant increase in the number of assaults on staff.

Mid-way through 2011, there have been three assaults on staff at Fraser Region, compared to total of 11 in 2009 and a total of 7 in 2010.

THE NEWS/opinion

I cannot recall ever having seen an overweight,

let alone an obese person until I was in my early teens in Holland.

Of course, one could argue that children are not very observant, but the evidence is to the contrary.

Remember the mer-ciless teasing many of us participated in or were subjected to from a very early age if any of our peers fell outside of the norm. Being relatively short or tall, having fl aming red hair or lots of freckles inevitably gave rise to lots of comments.

It was not until the early 1950s that some people started to put on more weight than was good for them. Why then and not earlier?

First, there was the fallout of the severe economic depression of the 1930s, followed by the ravages and the hunger, and later on outright starvation from the Second World War. Virtually all the essentials for staying alive were rationed and distributed by a very effi cient distribution bureaucracy. I still have some of the rationing stamps that entitled one to minimal amounts of basic foods.

Fast forward to the 1980s. Economic prosperity, certainly in comparison to the early years after the Second World War, was widespread both in western Europe

and North America. The choice of food and drink products had vastly expanded and most were available in virtually unlimited quantities.

Moreover, the percentage of total income one had to spend on buying groceries was relatively low.

Our eating habits also had drastically changed over the years. Instead of prepar-ing food from scratch by stay-at-home mothers, many households had switched to processed meals or relied on fast food in restaurants or delivered to the home.

Furthermore, we seem to have forgotten that our legs were meant to take us from A to B. Adults drive or are being driven to work and back home, not by choice, but most of the time there is no other way because of distances. Nearly all of the shop-ping is done with the help of the car. Many children are now being driven a few blocks to school instead of walking.

The amount of physical activity during school hours is also minimal and once re-turned home all too many will sit in front of the TV or computer and eat and drink stuff that is probably best described as junk-food.

As a result of the way our society has gradually evolved, the percentage of people that is overweight gradually increased to the point where now half of adults and one quarter of our youth are overweight, and a disconcerting number of these are grossly obese. This phenomenon has given rise to a whole new industry of weight reduction as its focus. Given the results, that industry is not terribly successful.

The health care industry has not been do-ing well in containing the obesity epidemic

either. Prevention of disease would be the most cost-effective and satisfactory ap-proach to health care.

Instead, most health care professionals are busy dealing with repairing or manag-ing the damage the obesity epidemic has caused. Even many are obese themselves.

If you want to be assured of a job where you will never run out of work, then be-come a orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee replacement.

The same is true if you become a car-diovascular surgeon, diabetes specialist, cardiologist or family physician.

Physiotherapists, nurses, occupational therapists and many others will also be in short supply unless we fi nd a way to stem the obesity epidemic.

The question is how. The U.K. has just launched a program to

get very young children more active and the Canadian Government will have some-thing similar in place next year, we are told.

Will it help.We have not changed our metabolism

or genetics in 50-plus years, but we have changed our lifestyles and eating habits, and that is where the solution lies. It is a solution that relies on the knowledge and resolve of each and every individual to make some diffi cult and consistent changes in how we become more physically active, what we eat and drink and how much.

I would hate to see a government-imposed system of rationing, effective as it would be, as I learned in my younger years.

Question of theweek:

Is increasing the gas tax by two cents a litre the

best way to fund transit expansion?

Yes: 18% – No: 82% (61 votes)

This week’s question: Should the District of Maple Ridge add a

pedestrian-controlled light at 224th Street?

@ Online poll: cast your vote at www.mapleridgenews.com, or e-mail your vote and comments to [email protected]

More pain at the pump is imminent, as the region-al mayors’ council has decided the way to fi nance TransLink’s long-awaited Evergreen Line to Coquit-lam is to ding motorists an extra two cents per litre when they fuel up.

The proposed measure – increasing the gas tax take for the transit authority from the current 15 cents to 17 cents effective next April – has the agree-ment of the provincial government.

This is on top B.C.’s carbon tax on gas, which just went up on July 1 to 5.56 cents a litre. (It will rise again to 6.67 cents per litre in 2012).

In fact, feeding government coffers now accounts for one-third of the cost of a litre of fuel, with Metro Vancouver motorists paying the highest gas taxes in Canada.

No one welcomes user fees, but how to fund much-needed services, such as the Evergreen Line and other transit expansions?

Here’s one suggestion: ICBC.The profi table publicly owned auto insurer has

boasted healthy reserves over the years – topping $3 billion in 2010 – and hefty annual profi ts continue to stack up, mainly from investments. (The money comes out of the optional insurance side of ICBC’s business, where the corporation competes with pri-vate insurers).

In prior years, ICBC issued rebate cheques to driv-ers to help spread the wealth, but has so far resisted calls from taxpayer groups and unions to lower in-surance rates or boost ICBC workers’ wages.

Of course, that hasn’t stopped Victoria from raid-ing the kitty.

In a controversial move last year, the B.C. Liber-als funneled $487 million from ICBC’s cash reserves into general revenue to help offset the provincial defi cit. What’s more, budget documents fi led last spring showed the province intends to extract around $145 million annually from ICBC, starting this year. That’s more than triple the $40 million in revenue that is expected to come each year from the proposed two-cent gas tax hike for TransLink.

If ICBC’s successful track record is any indica-tion, and if ideology dictates that those who use the roads should pay for them, then what better way to fi nance transportation projects than with surplus ICBC shareholder dollars?

Vehicle levies, property tax increases, road pric-ing and bridge tolls pale in comparison to the hun-dreds of millions of dollars already forked over by B.C. motorists.

It’s time to redirect this particular cash cow from the fi nance minister’s pasture to the people’s pave-ment.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: Coun. Becker running

for Pitt mayor (The News, July 8).

I fi gured something was up in April when full page ads started appearing for John Becker’s law fi rm.

I told friends and acquain-tances that he’s running for mayor.

“No way,” was the an-swer.

My intuition con-fi rmed when I read his June disparaging remarks about his fellow councillors quot-ed in the weekly papers. These have been followed by similar remarks with the announcement of his in-tentions to seek the mayor’s chair.

The last quotes of, “Not the huskies all running in different directions,” was

particularly scathing, but nobody missed the analogy. Not to worry folks, he will bring independent thought under control by ‘agreeing to disagree,’ collegially of course.

Next will be the past prac-tice of free lunches with ‘information meetings’ for seniors –the solid core of voters in a community. You can fool some of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.

The fi fth Tuesday of every month – a great concept – dedicated to making coun-sellors “understand,” rath-er than personal growth. This will somehow bring ev-eryone together, to all vote the same way. That might work with a whole ‘new-

bie’ council, but given some experience, they won’t be sheep lead by a shepherd.

All that ‘team build-ing’ over the years hasn’t worked?

Voters choose candidates because they want some-one who not only wants the best for the community, but independent thought, quite unlike federal politics, where everyone votes the party line.

A good-cross section of so-ciety and views will always work best at the local level.

I can’t remember when politicians last kissed ba-bies, but such comments show his respect of the po-sition.

This elected position should not be ‘blown off’ as a simple task that can be done blinded folded.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: Resident keeping eye

on sex trade (The News, July 6).

Hats off to Will Dugger for showing initiative and imagination.

The signs, as stated in the article, contravened a municipal bylaw and were promptly taken down by the district staff.

Interesting. I have never heard of garage sale signs being promptly removed by

the district staff.The appearance of pros-

titutes and johns on our streets does not benefi t our family community of Maple Ridge.

Furthermore, sex trade workers appear to be the only trade that does not pay income tax.

By the same token, it costs us taxpayers lots of tax dol-lars for policing and other human resources.

As a teenager living in

Vancouver, I worked in an offi ce located in the area of Main and Cordova streets, and I, too, had the experi-ence of being propositioned while innocently waiting for a bus. It is an experience that is intimidating and in-fringes on our rights.

Susan Davis states the handling of sex trade work-ers is a diffi cult situation and Mr. Dugger is compli-cating it further.

Not so.

If Ms. Davis and all her co-workers would accept an invitation to return to Van-couver, all problems would be resolved.

RCMP state they have only received four complaints.

Here is the fi fth, and I hope others will follow.

Keep up the good work, Mr. Dugger, and perhaps the RCMP will follow your example.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: No crossing signal coming for 224th Street (The News

Views, July 8).I think the biggest reason we have motorist/pedestrian ac-

cidents is because of lack of police presence on the roads in Maple Ridge to enforce speed and use of cell phones while driving.

I am not a senior, but I walk most of the time in Maple Ridge and I have yet to see a police offi cer anywhere enforc-ing the speed limit.

With a lack of police presence, drivers feel they are en-titled to travel at the speed they feel comfortable driving at as opposed to driving safely within the speed limit.

Careless, distracted speeding motorists will continue to disregard the speed limits on the roads and injuries and fa-talities will continue to occur if the police are no where to be seen on the streets.

I walk my son to and from school everyday for this rea-son. I don’t feel comfortable letting him walk on his own.

Although I feel comfortable with his ability and judge-ment when walking on the road (no sidewalk) or crossing the street, I have very little confi dence in the motorists who are completely distracted or travelling at very unsafe, high speeds throughout residential areas and on main roads like Lougheed Highway and Dewdney Trunk Road.

It is very sad when the municipality feels that multiple facilities on one road does not warrant the installation of adding a pedestrian controlled light.

You mention in this article the pedestrian should make eye contact with the driver before stepping off the curb and crossing. I agree. I do this on a regular basis. But then there is no accountability for the driver, who should always be paying attention to the road and not using the a cell phone or exceeding the speed limit, which causes most accidents.

I heard that ICBC will be raising our insurance rates due to the increase in personal injury claims. I believe in pre-vention rather than treatment.

If there was a police presence on the roads to begin with, enforcing speed limits and other driving laws, I am sure this would reduce the number of distracted, speeding drivers and, thus, prevent injuries and deaths for those of us who are brave enough to venture out and actually walk through-out the town.

Can I get a raise, boss?From: AlbionSunDog, posted on mapleridgenews.com.Re: Golden Ears Bridge tolls bumped up (The News, July 13).Another stellar move by the unelected morons at TransLink! Because we all know the reason people don’t use the bridge is because the tolls are too low. So what better way to encourage its use than to increase them. (It seems the HST doesn’t seem to be lowering costs like they promised. Good thing the government is holding that little referendum thingy.) I’ll just have to go to my employer and get a 3.5 per cent raise, I guess.

[email protected]

Stay above boardFrom: cb, posted on mapleridgenews.com.Re: Putting own self interests ahead of taxpayers (Letters, July 13).Dr. Simatos is absolutely correct. That is the problem with our society. It starts as small potatoes with everyone looking the other way. Keep everything transparent and above board.

While col-l e c t i n g taxes to

fund society’s ser-vices is considered a group responsi-bility, for the most part we pay based on ability.

With income tax-es we pay progres-sively more as our earnings increase, thus the wealthier can afford to pay more.

This works reasonably well since it means that those who can least af-ford to pay for collective services are still entitled to the same standard of living.

With consumption taxes, however, we have a more fl at tax system, where-by income doesn’t matter; you pay the same amount on products and services as everybody else.

Nobody seemed to have a problem with this concept in B.C. until the pro-vincial government decided to uni-laterally harmonize the federal and provincial sales taxes into one value-added tax.

Suddenly, it’s become an attack on the poor and those families who can least afford it, or so you’ve been told by HST dissidents.

They call the HST a “regressive” tax, a $2 billion tax shift onto the poor and a jobs killer for the services industry.

Well, the HST is a regressive tax, as was the PST and GST. Consumption taxes are inherently regressive, as they don’t discriminate on the basis of those who can afford to pay for an item.

What this means is that the new car that was taxed at 12 per cent under the PST/GST and is still taxed at 12 per cent under the HST is the same regres-sive tax system, since it doesn’t charge a lower tax rate based on the relative affordability for the consumer.

That’s simple enough.But what has people angry is the

fact that some services that were PST-exempt under the old system are now taxed seven per cent higher under the HST.

This has been a diffi cult adjustment as consumption taxes went from a narrow-based system, taxing mainly goods and not services, to a broad-based system, where taxes are applied equally.

That’s naturally going to take some

adjustment for an economy like British Columbia, where four out of every fi ve workers are employed in a service. But that isn’t a coincidence.

A tax system that artifi cially favoured services was caused by government, and so the market adapted to that un-natural imbalance in services.

And though the change to the HST has been diffi cult, the benefi ts are showing.

Broad-based consumption taxes cur-tail infl ation, stabilize consumer prices and allow free market forces to work.

The input HST tax credits have al-lowed B.C. businesses to expand, hire more people and recover from the eco-nomic downturn.

It’s unfortunate that the HST has become a political debate, when it has very little to do with politics beyond the way it was introduced.

But don’t take my word for it. Ask any economist, accountant or tax expert.

They’ll tell you the HST is a more fair, simple and equitable means of collect-ing taxes for the high quality services British Columbians demand from their government.

“Careless, distracted speeding motorists will continue to disregard the speed limits on the roads and injuries and fatalities will continue to occur if the police are no where to be seen on the streets.”


It was meant to be a celebration, a night out at Shooter’s Pub

with his son, who had just turned 19.

Ever the doting fa-ther, Cordell Dame had spent months training Jordan, who was try-ing out for the Langley Rams football team. It would be a few weeks before Jordan would fi nd out if he made the cut for training camp.

They were buddies. It was Jordan’s fi rst time in a pub.

But at 2 a.m. on May 1, Cordell, his best friend, Jordan and another

friend left the Dewd-ney Trunk Road pub to head home. They were waiting for a cab in the parking lot of a Husky gas station when Jor-dan ran to check if the

strip club next door was still open – he just wanted to have a peek.

By the time he got back, a few minutes later, his dad was on the ground, convulsing

in the parking lot.Police believe the

51-year-old was knocked unconscious in a “one-on-one fi ght.”

Trevor Harding, a resident of Tipper-ary, Ireland, faces one count of aggravated assault in connection with the beating.

The 34-year-old has been released from custody on $2,000 bail, but his passport has been seized.

Cordell was rushed to Royal Columbian Hos-pital in New Westmin-ster, unconscious with serious head injuries.

He remained in a coma for more than a month.

Doctors told his fam-ily he would not re-cover.

One of 10 siblings, Cordell was a big, strong man – 5-10 and 255 pounds. His brother Leo rushed to B.C. from Win-nipeg the morning after he found out Cordell was in a coma.

His sister Anita fol-lowed three weeks later, as the family contem-plated taking Cordell off life support. His brain was swollen from the beating and he lay in a hospital bed in a tangle of tubes.

“They didn’t expect him to survive,” says Anita.

But two days after she arrived, Cordell opened his eyes. He began fol-lowing his sister Trudy around the room. Trudy had spent the past month at his side, everyday at breakfast. His sister An-gie came by at lunch, and at supper his wife Tina would take over.

“He is quite the mira-cle,” says Anita.

“There is no other way to explain his progress, even though he has a long way ahead of him.”

Within days of open-ing his eyes, Cordell was talking and began eating solid food. By the end of June, he was well enough to celebrate his 51st birthday. The entire family gathered around him to watch him blow out the candles on an ice-cream cake. He now tries to feed himself.

Paralysed on his entire left side, Cordell still isn’t the brother Anita re-members.

Cordell ran his own business – Clean-Pro Janitorial – the family’s only source of income.

Now his sisters, brother and 22-year-old daughter are pitching in to keep the company afl oat.

“It is pretty devastat-ing,” she says.

“When you think

about it, he will never be the same guy again.”

On Tuesday, Cordell had surgery to replace the bone fl ap in his skull that was removed when his brain was swollen. Once he recuperates, doctors hope to move him to Ridge Meadows Hospital, but he most likely won’t walk prop-erly again.

Although he now talks

non-stop, Anita says Cordell doesn’t realize where he is, tears off the tubes and tries to get out of his hospital bed. He wants to go home, to somewhere familiar. Nursing staff sometimes have to restrain him by tying him to his bed.

“Every day is different – but he is making awe-some baby steps,” says Anita.

But once Cordell re-turns to Maple Ridge, he’ll need rehabilitation care, physiotherapy and counselling.

Besides running his cleaning business, the family is now scram-bling to raise funds to meet those needs. They’ve already re-ceived a few donations – a car from Maple Ridge Chrysler for six months,

$100 from Husky Gas, and Kimberly Dugale from Westgate Den-tal has donated $500. Dugale is challenging other business to do the same.

“I would like to thank everyone for all the do-nations received to date and for any future do-nations in,” says Anita. “No donation is too small.”

Dame from p8

DonateThe Dame family has donation cans at several business in Maple Ridge, including Speciality Liquor Store, Black Sheep Pub, The Offi ce Liquor Store, West Gate Dental, White Spot, Haney Public House, Er-nest’s Hairhandlers, Haney Home Builders, Husky Gas, the Witch of Endor liquor store, Haney Hawgs Bike Shop and Rona.• A trust account has also been set up to help the Dame family at TD Canada Trust. Donations can be made at any branch by quoting the transit number 91040 and account number 6477277. Cheques must be addressed to “Tina Dame”.

The fi re was con-tained to the stove, but burned kitchen cabinets.While his mom called 911, the 14-year-old ran into the backyard, grabbed a garden hose and put out the fl ames before the fi re department arrived.Fire chief Dane Spence said he showed great pres-ence of mind.Three people were taken to hospital after inhaling smoke.

The old Northumber-land Court got a new owner last year and a proposal was made in December to build 29 townhouses and commercial space on the old Fraser Street complex, just south of downtown.

So what’s happened since then, asks the mayor of Maple Ridge.

“It looked like it was moving along well. It’s just we’ve heard nothing. There’s been no action on the fi le,” Ernie Daykin said Wednesday.

Late last year, council approved fi rst reading of the application.

Staff have asked Van-couver developer Ghal-ib Rawji what his plans are for the property, and depending on the response, council could order the remaining, vacant buildings – once know as the ghetto – torn down.

“He’s got 30 days to do whatever he wants to do, then we can deal

with it when we come back at the end of Au-gust.

“Because of its his-tory, there’s an expec-tation that something should happen down there. I think we’ve been very gracious,” said Daykin.

“Maybe he’s taking advantage of my good nature. We’ll give him a little nudge and see what happens.”

Rawji bought the complex last year, af-ter years of municipal and police frustration at controlling the drug haven.

He later bought the lot immediately to the west, with access to 224th Street so he could build another 13

apartments, as well as offi ce space.

Rawji says there’s been no change in plans and he has been in contact with Maple Ridge staff.

“We’re still moving forward with our plans. We’ve got all our plans in place already.”

He said legal issues have delayed the proj-ect and he’ll soon be able to give more de-tails.

Daykin said council has been working on restoring Northumber-land Court since elect-ed in 2008.

“All of council would like something but-toned up before the end of the term,” in Oc-tober.

MANAGER’S SPECIAL


Maple Ridge council-lors will vote their suc-cessors a raise – which given the high likelihood of current councillors being re-elected, means they’ll be deciding their own salaries.

Just how much that will be, will be based on a staff report that lands on council’s desk Mon-day.

A review in 2008 re-sulted in a healthy raise for councillors of 53 per cent, while the mayor’s

salary jumped by 28 per cent.

In the previous raise, council decided to peg salaries at the 65 percen-tile range, so 65 per cent of the other councils’ salaries, would be below Maple Ridge salaries, while 35 per cent would be above.

Councillors now make about $42,000 yearly, while the mayor earns $98,500.

The amount of increas-es proposed in Monday’s report isn’t yet known, but Mayor Ernie Daykin isn’t backing another major wage hike for his

position.“If there’s a big adjust-

ment … I’d struggle with that.”

So, too, does Coun. Cheryl Ashlie, who wants a new way of analyzing councillors’ duties, perhaps via an external agency to de-termine the pay.

Council salaries can’t be so low that they only attract the wealthy, but need to be adequate to ensure a broad range of the population on coun-cil.

If she’s successful in that, she’d like the same approach applied to se-

nior staff at district hall because she says the public is reaching its capacity to pay. Even-tually, there should be an end point for coun-cil salaries rather than constant increases that have to be borne by the taxpayer, she said.

While in 2009, Ashlie tried to have a similar review of considered at Metro Vancouver’s la-bour relations bureau, but that was stalled be-cause of another review.

“I think we’re ad-equately compensated. Personally, I don’t need another dime.”

Think you can do a better job than the bunch sitting around the table now?

Then get your name in by Oct. 14 and you’ll be on the ballot for the Nov. 19 election that will choose who runs Maple Ridge for the next three years.

To give people an idea of what it means to en-ter a campaign and to hold offi ce, district staff held an information session June 20. It drew about a dozen possible

new politicians.The rules for cam-

paign fi nancing are unlikely to change this election, despite a re-port by an election task force.

There are no legis-lative changes in the works that will affect this year’s vote, said Ceri Marlo, legislative services manager.

The report from the Local Government Elections Task Force, a Union of B.C. Munici-palities and provincial government project, makes several recom-mendations.

Some of those: requir-ing campaign fi nance disclosure forms to be fi led within 90 days of an election and to put

those forms online; extending the term of offi ce to four years (from three); and set-ting spending limits for campaign expenses.

Municipalities contin-ue to try increase voter turnout above the usual 30 per cent.

District spokesman Fred Armstrong told council that local gov-ernment affects people more than any other level and that Metro Vancouver will be mak-ing a video to get peo-ple out to vote.

Social media also will be used to reach young-er voters, he said.

Coun. Craig Speirs said a turnout of 30 per cent of eligible voters in Maple Ridge “isn’t

good enough.”The price of democ-

racy is a debt in blood, he said.

There are other mu-nicipalities where the turnout is even low-er, said Mayor Ernie Daykin.

Nomination period begins Oct. 4, so there are only 10 days to fi le the papers with the dis-trict and get on to the ballot.

Advance polls are open Nov. 5 and 9.

Coun. Linda King said the district has worked hard in previous elec-tions to increase the turnout, but the num-bers don’t change and she hoped social media would get more people to the polls.

This is election year for B.C. citiesNo campaign fi nancing changes


BCCLA: Cities must set up prison polling stations for elections

The B.C. Civil Liberties Association has written letters to nine B.C. municipalities and Corrections B.C. to ensure polling stations are set up for prisoners to vote in municipal elections in the fall.

The Local Government Act disqualifi es from voting those persons who are pris-oners serving more serious (indictable) off ences and those who are being held in custody after being found not guilty on account of mental disorder.

But prisoners who are awaiting trial in prison (remand) and those convicted of summary off ences who are in prison have

the legal right to vote. “It is imperative that those who have

the right to vote be afforded the means to do so. People held in jail who have not been convicted of any crime should not be denied their vote,” said Robert Holmes, president of the BCCLA.

“The law and their sentence does not deprive them of their right to vote and municipal governments should not, through inaction, do so either. As prison populations grow, this issue will become more pressing, and this population more and more politically significant.”

Unlike provincial or federal elections, there is not a province-wide body like Elections B.C. to oversee municipal elections and ensure adequate polling

stations and outreach in areas like prisons.

“B.C. has no centralized organization to oversee standards for voting and elections in municipalities. That presents major diffi culties getting the message through to many diff erent communities that the law requires they make facilities available so that everyone entitled to vote can do so,” said Holmes. “We expect that cities will recognize their legal duties to ensure that everyone who may vote, can vote.”

The BCCLA has sent letters to Nanaimo, Maple Ridge, Chilliwack, Prince George, Saanich, Surrey, Kamloops, and Port Coquitlam. The Association has also writ-ten to Corrections B.C. to assist eligible prisoners to vote.

Bear was born in March 2009 and had been on active duty since completing his training in 2010. He was one of 44 police dogs stationed in the Lower Mainland and part of an RCMP integrated team that attends an average of 12,000 calls annually.

Bear was the second RCMP police dog killed in the line of duty in as many days.

Early Tuesday morn-ing, a police dog named Bo was killed in Rich-mond after the vehicle he was in with his han-dler collided with a pow-er pole.

“We are all saddened with the tragic loss our police service dogs. All of our dogs provide us with a key component in apprehending crimi-nals,” Ridge Meadows RCMP Cpl. Alanna Dun-lop said Wednesday.

“They also assist us in recovering lost persons, fi nding key evidence and calming violent people down. They all add so much to the pub-lic’s safety. The handler is quite distraught, and is getting the support he needs at this time.”

All dog handlers are

regular members of the RCMP who volunteer for police dog services. Most spend years as “quarries,” training with experience dog handlers to learn ba-sic skills. The quarry plays the bad guy, pre-tending to fl ee crime scenes, resist arrest, run from police, hide in buildings and act ag-gressively. When clad in a ‘bite suit,’ made of thick canvas or linen, or

when wearing a padded sleeve, a quarry gets to be a police dog’s chew toy.

Once trained, the quar-ry fi nally gets a pup. Po-tential police dogs are monitored monthly and are tested at 49 days old, then at four, eight and 12 months.

When the pups are about 14 to 16 months old, they are ready to return to kennels for ba-sic training, which lasts

about four months.“The bond starts from

Day 1 and the bond gets stronger the more time they spend together,” said Sgt. Chris Moore, with the RCMP’s Lower Mainland Police Dog Service.

“The stronger the bond, the better the team’s performance. These dogs are not only working animals. They are part of the mem-ber’s family.”

SPOTLIGHT ON: Celebrate Downtown Maple Ridge

INSPIRED: Thanks toour Amazing Volunteers

Be Part of the Offi cial 224 Street Ribbon Cutting CeremonyMark your calendar! On Saturday, July 23, 2011, everyone is invited downtown to celebrate the completion of the Downtown Enhancement Project that was a joint project of the Government of Canada, Province of BC and the District of Maple Ridge. The project began in April of 2010, at Lougheed Highway and 223 Street, and the fi nal touches were put on the last block between McIntosh Avenue and Dewdney Trunk Road just a couple of months ago. The project included the replacement of old water mains, storm sewers and sanitary sewers. During the excavation, pipes estimated to be close to a century old were unearthed. On the surface, the project included realignment of many of the roads, improvements to the sidewalks, trees, plants, benches, garbage cans, bike racks and street lighting. In addition, the installation of street mosaics created under the guidance of the Community Heritage Commission, have made our downtown a special place to work, live and play. The entire community is invited

to take part in the ribbon cutting that will take place at noon on Saturday, July 23 at the intersection of McIntosh Avenue and 224 Street. There’s going to be music, visits by the RCMP, Maple Ridge Fire Department and a preview of the fi nal mosaics and an amazing collection of twelve Historical Walking Tour signs researched by Val Patenaude, Director of the Maple Ridge Museum that will soon be installed throughout the downtown. Been downtown lately? Your downtown merchants are inviting you down with lots of great sales and an ‘Amazing Race’ contest that will allow you to explore the Town Centre like never before!

Canada Day and Caribbean Festival were SPECTACULARThe last couple of weekends thousands of people have enjoyed the hard work of dozens of local volunteers who organized a spectacular Canada Day Celebration on July 1, and the best Caribbean Festival yet on July 9 and 10. On Canada Day the combination of the Haney Farmers Market and Canada Day made for an amazing start to the kids summer vacation with concerts, displays and an inspiring ceremony that included the Royal Canadian Legion Colour Guard, Ridge Meadows RCMP and Maple Ridge Fire Department with the giant Canadian Flag fi rst unveiled at the Olympic Torch Relay hanging proudly over the park. The Farmers Market had their best day ever with fresh fruits, vegetables and baked goods as well as the amazing creations of area artisans fl ying off the tables at a record pace. A week later we were treated to the sights, sounds and tastes of the Caribbean with the 11th annual Caribbean Festival. By all accounts, the highlight was the Saturday night concert by the California Beach Boys Tribute Band. The atmosphere was amazing, as was the music! Our downtown has never been busier and everyone had a great time over the new two day format. Mayor and Council would like to extend their appreciation for the contribution of every volunteer, from the event organizers to the folks who manned the traffi c barricades and kept the park clean from litter. You are amazing!

Jessie Patrie was watching a Canucks game on TV and fl ipped the dial over to SHAW Cable’s coverage of the regular Maple Ridge Council Meeting. It so happened that a few minutes later he saw Mayor Ernie Daykin draw his name out of the bin as the winner of the iPad 2 that was the grand prize for a contest that kicked off at the Home Show. Entrants became eligible when they signed up for one of the online newsletters that are published and sent out by the District. Jessie will now be able to read Council This Week, the District Monthly eNewsletter and our monthly Invest Maple Ridge e Newsletter on his iPad 2. Congratulations to Jessie and thanks to everyone that entered!

Over the next few hours, the river level should peak, then start dropping, only to rise again in a few days, District of Maple Ridge spokesman Fred Arm-strong said Thursday afternoon.

“We’re keeping an eye on everything in our area,” he added.

“The biggest thing we want to communi-cate to people is, typi-cally, the river levels, when the kids are out of school, they have dropped down quite a bit.”

But not this year. The river is running

high and fast and any-one who ventures out should be completely prepared.

The district contin-ues to make regular inspections of the dikes and is watching a fast-fl owing stretch of the Fraser from the Al-bion ferry dock to the Haney Wharf, which could be subject to erosion given the fast fl ows that have been going on for weeks.

“So far, we’ve had no issues. We’re not see-ing any erosion,” Arm-strong said.

The high water makes work more diffi cult for the crew at Northview Enterprises log sort, next to the Port Haney Wharf.

But the work has to

go on because the mills are waiting for their logs, said Gord Bolt.

The operation sorts logs from the area and sends them to mills, which can either be in the Lower Mainland or China.

Despite the fast wa-ter, they’re still getting the job done.

“We’re still a couple feet away from critical levels,” Bolt said.

“We’re still a ways away from considering shutting down.”

A dozen people work at the sorting opera-

tion, which has three 671-horsepower Super-winder boom boats to push around the logs. He’s worked there for 10 years and has never seen the river this high at this time of the year, in mid-summer.

“That’s the odd part of the whole thing … normally it’s reced-ing right now.”

Most companies along the river are still operating, he added.

Chief Jay Bailey, with the Katzie First Na-tion, said the high wa-ter makes it diffi cult to

catch fi sh. It’s hard to know how many sock-eye salmon are now in the river because of the restrictions they’re under, while they no longer can catch chi-nook.

There seems to be in no danger of the reserve fl ooding, he added.

Meanwhile, B.C. Hydro was planning a routine release of wa-ter from the Stave Lake to bring levels down to between 80 and 81.5 metres. Thursday the level was at 81.5 m.

It’s difficult to catch fish: KatzieRiver from front

FreshetAccording to the River Forecast Centre, the 2011 ‘freshet’, the term used to describe the annual snow melt for the Fraser River watershed, has been abnormal due to the cool weather this spring. The web link for the Mission Gauge is http://www.wateroffi ce.ec.gc.ca/graph/graph_e.html?stn=08MH024.


A ‘steel dolphin,’ almost submerged, lets the logging crews know when the Fraser River is close to the flood level.

“That’s the odd part of the whole thing … normally it’s receding right now.”

Jordan Wright is a 12-year-old boy who loves toy

cars and loves to go on amusement park rides.

But Jordan fi nds it dif-fi cult to walk and is con-fi ned to a wheelchair part-time with Duch-enne muscular dystro-phy, an inherited neuro-muscular degenerative disease that, over time, breaks down the mus-cles in the body.

Symptoms usually oc-cur between the ages of one- and six-years-old and many people are confi ned to a wheel-chair by the time they are Jordan’s age.

In 2008, Jordan went on a trip of a lifetime. Through the Sunshine Foundation of Canada, Jordan left the com-forts of home for the fi rst time in his life. He waved goodbye to his parents and boarded a plane for Disneyland in California.

“It was a little nerve-

wracking,” says Tiina, Jordan’s mother, smil-ing as she remembers the occasion. “But you know that they are with professional doctors and nurses that go on the trip.”

The Sunshine Founda-tion of Canada provides dreams for children who have severe physi-cal disabilities as well as life-threatening illness-es. Founded in 1987 by a London, Ontario police offi cer who lost his own son to muscular dystro-phy, the foundation has

made dreams come true for 6,700 children across the country.

Called DreamLifts, around 80 children are given a one-day trip to an exciting destination of choice. There is a Dreamlifts in the Lower Mainland once every four years.

The next lift will take place in 2012 and for the past two years The Sunshine Foundation of Canada has been active-ly fundraising to hope-fully send 100 children on a dream-fulfi lling trip.

The Meadow Gardens Golf Club will be host-ing a fundraising golf tournament to raise money for the 2012 DreamLifts on Sept. 16. The tournament will be a best ball Texas scram-ble with numerous food and drink holes along the course.

All proceeds, less golf course fees, will go to children living in the Lower Mainland who have requested dreams from the Sunshine Foundation.

The average cost of a DreamLifts is $300,000.

Tiina says her son came back a different boy.

“He went on the plane nervous and he got off the plane confi dent,” and independent, she says.

On his trip, she added, Jordan was just like ev-eryone else, not point-ed at or looked at or judged.

A proposed vehicle levy to fi nance transit upgrades should charge motorists more if they live in frequently served Vancouver and less in transit-poor areas with no real alternative to driving, some mayors say.

The regional mayors council voted last week to pay for the Evergreen Line and a package

of broader transit up-grades through a two-cent hike in the gas tax, coupled with at least one other to-be-determined source.

A vehicle levy – possi-bly ranging from $10 to $40 per vehicle – is being proposed by TransLink to serve as that second source, but it’s unclear how it would be applied.

TransLink last fall pro-posed a vehicle levy that would vary based on the car’s carbon footprint – it would be low for an

effi cient hatchback or hybrid and steep for a gas-guzzling SUV.

That’s again an option this time, but offi cials say it’s not set in stone.

Delta Mayor and Metro board chair Lois Jackson argues the levy, dubbed a Trans-portation Improvement Fee, should instead vary based on the level of lo-cal transit service.

“It should be more ex-pensive in Vancouver, Burnaby – places where you do have 15-minute service,” she said.

“People in outlying areas with no service should pay a lesser fee

for the vehicle levy, be-cause they’re having to pay already with tax on gasoline. That’s their contribution because they have to have a ve-hicle or two vehicles in their family.”

Many residents with next-to-no bus service also pay $200 or more on their property taxes to-wards TransLink, Jack-son said.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts also backs a grad-uated vehicle levy.

She said it should ap-ply only when local transit service is well developed – areas such as Burnaby, Vancouver

and Richmond.It wouldn’t apply in

faster-growing areas like Surrey, she sug-gested, but those areas would instead raise money for TransLink through new develop-ment cost charges when new subdivisions are developed.

Since the Burrard Pen-insula is mostly built-out, such fees would play little to no role there, Watts said.

“It’s about being equi-table and fair,” she said.

It’s not good enough to simply complain about the various funding mechanisms under con-

sideration, Watts said.A million more people

are coming to the Lower Mainland over the next couple of decades, 70 per cent of them to the south of Fraser or north-east sector, she noted.

“You have to make a choice,” Watts said. “Do you want another half a million cars on the road with more congestion? Or do you want to put a better transportation system in place so we won’t have those prob-lems?”

Watts was among the majority of mayors who last week supported the proposed funding strat-egy, while Jackson was one of eight who voted against it, fearing the vehicle levy or other

secondary source might not be ultimately sup-ported by the province, forcing an increase in TransLink’s property tax to make up the dif-ference.

“For the longer term there has to be a conver-sation around tolling,” Watts added. “South of the Fraser is dispro-portionately penalized through the tolling pol-icy in place.”

Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender said the region needs to look hard at tolling exist-ing bridges using more modest tolls.

He said a graduated vehicle levy that is much reduced in under-served suburbs is worth considering.

Car levy should vary by transit level: mayorsUnderserved areas might be exempt or pay another way

Carrierof the Week


Transportation Min-ister Blair Lekstrom says he has the full support of Premier Christy Clark in agree-ing to Metro Vancou-ver mayors’ plan for a two-cent gas tax in-crease for TransLink.

The province’s sup-port of the tax hike was called into ques-tion Monday when Clark told a radio sta-tion she’s concerned about the affordability for motorists.

Without the extra gas tax, which would generate $40 million a year to help fund the Evergreen Line and other transit upgrades, the fragile deal to get the stalled SkyTrain extension to Coquit-lam built would likely collapse.

“I stand behind what I’ve committed to,” Lekstrom said Wednesday, adding he has spoken with the premier and ensured they’re both on the

same page.“Nobody likes new

taxes – I would concur with that.”

But he said the may-ors can count on the province legislating the fuel tax increase this fall – as he prom-ised – provided mayors formally vote for it in a pending fi nancial supplement after pub-lic consultation and re-view by the TransLink commissioner.

“I will not waver one inch,” Lekstrom said. “This has gone on far longer than I think the public wanted.”

Clark has also penned a letter to may-ors pledging her sup-port, he confi rmed.

Both the proposed gas tax hike and the prospect of either a $10-to-$40 vehicle levy or a second regional carbon tax to support TransLink’s expansion have stoked fi erce ob-jections from motorists who say they already pay too much for gas.

A secondary source beyond the gas tax is needed to generate

a total of $70 million for the full package of transit upgrades TransLink is propos-ing.

Mayors will be asked to commit to the fund-ing supplement this

fall even though the secondary source will not yet be approved by the province. If it ulti-mately falls through, a property tax increase of $23 per average home would take ef-

fect in 2013.Clark previously told

News 1130 she under-stands people aren’t excited about paying more for gas and that her focus is on how “we make life more afford-

able for people rather than less affordable.”

While several may-ors last week voted against the plan, most of the dissenters are worried about its po-tential to trigger a property tax increase and still stand behind increasing the gas tax.

The package of up-

grades includes an express bus route in Surrey on King George Boulevard, a new Langley-White Rock route, RapidBus service on Highway 1, more frequent Sea-Bus service, SkyTrain station upgrades and generally enhanced transit service.

A new chapter in my life has begun.

As of last week, I have taken up a new position as invisible caregiver in the home of my parents.

I say invisible be-cause neither of them will accept the fact that they need caregiving, and in many ways, they don’t.

Thus, for now, I’m just staying with them while they tell me all the things they need done around the house.

For each elderly person whose rela-

tives believe he or she needs support, there is a unique set of circumstances and thus, as I have often spoken about in my approach to parenting, there is also a need for a unique plan for each one.

There is no one-size-fi ts-all answer to the most fundamental question that arises: how can you help your parents maintain as much independence as possible while limiting the risk of danger to them?

As parents, my wife

and I tried to develop competence in our chil-dren by exposing them to and reinforcing the basic skills we felt they would need to succeed in school and in life in general.

We then gave them as many opportunities in as wide a variety of activities as possible, to develop the confi dence that they could take on challenges and be reasonably successful.

And overriding all lessons, we empha-sized the importance of character and being good people.

In beginning the pro-cess of caring for my aging parents, I have found myself using a similar framework for strategizing on how to be supportive without being invasive.

I want them to do what they can, with the competencies they have had for decades, to look after them-selves in their own home.

I am defi nitely not here to criticize or change their routines or activities.

In so doing, I hope they will maintain a

confi dence level that ensures they still feel they are in control of their lives.

In my case, I have a relatively uncompli-cated situation.

My dad is physically very weak, the result of a form of leuke-mia that reduces the number and effective-ness of red blood cells. He has lost about 40 pounds over the past two years and looks more like a skeleton than a man. He is exhausted all the time. Still, he is as mentally sharp as ever and,

for the most part, is able to get around the house and take care of himself.

For him, I am trying to be his arms and legs, get-ting lists of things he’d be doing around the house if he wasn’t so “useless” (his term), asking him how to do them and where his tools are and thus restoring both his pride in his home appearance and his usefulness as a super-visor of my work. He has enjoyed the fi rst week of us catching up on some painting and cleaning jobs.

My mom is healthy (“It’s no good for me to even think about being sick with your dad like he is”) and determined to take care of the inside of the house. She ironed my under-wear this week, so I know she’s still taking care of business in the housework realm.

For her, I am an emotional support, tak-ing away some of the worry she has about my dad’s depression issues and walking be-

hind him one step, with my hand on his belt, so that if he goes down,

he’s not going to hit the fl oor hard enough to do serious damage.

She’s been afraid to let him do any-thing for fear of him hurt-ing himself, but with me around, he can do more of what he wants and she

can worry a bit less, but a small bit.

I am in their home, so I am living their routines and they are living their lives much as they have for the 64 years they’ve been married – competently and confi dently.

As for character, well, the lessons are coming my way. Their pride in their independence and their concern for oth-ers, despite their own personal challenges, remind me each day of their right to dignity and respect in their treatment by others, especially me.

Best Buy – Correction NoticeBest Buy – Correction Notice

Please note that the HP 16GB and 32GB TouchPad (Web Code: 10173117/6) advertised on the front cover of the July 15 flyer runs using webOS, NOT Android 3.0 Honeycomb, as previously advertised. We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused our valued customers.


Besides the rains fi nally subsiding (almost), there

are some sure signs that summer has fi nally arrived: a sudden run on Corona beer and limes; the smell of barbeques permeating the early evening air; and the re-emergence of kayaks and canoes on the roof racks of weekend warriors.

Another, more subtle sign of the warmer weather is the arrival of summer heath-ers at your local garden centre.

There are three species of summer heather that I would like to touch on, with two of them being widely available and the third worth looking for.

The first of these, Erica cinerea, is a native of Europe, Zone 6 hardy and much resembles the winter-flowering species (Erica carnea or x darleyensis) with its fine needled foliage.

It also features a broad colour range from white (‘Alba’), to shell pink (‘Pink Ice’), right up to an eye-catching magen-ta (‘Atrosanguinea’).

Erica cinerea forms a typical rounded or mounding shrub and is well-suited to mass planting, where individual plants can grow together as a tall groundcover and provide a much greater visual im-pact when in bloom.

There are several gold-leaved cultivars available, including ‘Golden Sport’, with its amber foliage and rose-pink flowers, as well as ‘Celebration’, which features unnatural-looking, but attractive electric yellow needles contrasted by pure white blooms.

Two other good varieties to keep an eye out for include ‘P.S. Patrick’ (purple) and ‘C.D. Eason’ (magenta-pink).

Erica cinerea has a blooming period that ranges from late June to September, depending on the variety.

Calluna vulgaris, or Scotch heather, is another worthy shrub that often gets overlooked because of its upright, almost spiky growth. This unfortunate ‘snub at first glance’ robs many of us of one of the more hardy heathers (Zone 5) that also provides long seasons of both foliar and flower colour.

Although summer blooming, their ap-peal begins in early spring when the new growth of many cultivars such as ‘Red Fred’, ‘Spring Torch’, ‘Leslie Slinger’, ‘Moon Glow’ and ‘Flamingo’ show their cream, yellow, pink or red tips – mak-ing for a display that rivals its blooming season.

When in flower, the abundant double white flowers of ‘Kinlochruel’ make it one of the better choices for an Alba garden, while the intensely metallic foli-age of

‘Silver Knight’ is a year-round focal point.

This species also includes the ‘bud bloomers’, or varieties whose flowers do not open and, because of this, retain their colour for months on end, often lasting through to January.

Finally, as the regular flowering season fades and frosts make an appearance, many of the gold-leaved cultivars (such as ‘Firefly’ and ‘Hoyerhagen’) shift to a dramatic reddish-orange for the balance of winter.

As mentioned earlier, the upright habit and coarse scale-like needles of Calluna vulgaris make it an excellent foil for the

predominantly green mounds (when not in bloom) of Erica.

My last summer heather prospect is Irish heath, or Daboecia cantabrica – which can be a bit hard to find. It features dark green foliage composed of tiny leaves with an erect growth habit, often reaching heights of 45 centimetres.

The bell-shaped flowers are fewer in number, but about three times larger than most heather, and they sit well above the foliage on airy spikes.

The real clincher here is the long blooming season, as many varieties of Irish heath steadily flower from July to October.

‘Rainbow’ is a variegated form with ir-regular streaks of gold in the foliage and contrasting purple blooms.

Some other locally available cultivars include ‘Alba’ (white), ‘Arielle’ (magen-ta), ‘Vanessa’ (purple) and ‘Waley’s Red.’

In general, summer heathers are best used in foreground groupings of three to five plants, although larger mass dis-plays can be appropriate, depending on the scale of the garden.

They also combine well with small co-nifers such as Thuja ‘Rheingold’, dwarf

balsam fir (Abies balsamea ‘Nana’), ‘Blue Star’ juniper and Chamaecyparis ‘Heatherbun’.

Perennials are another good compan-ion plant, although you will have to be careful not to crowd the heather, as they brown out rather easily when covered by neighbouring foliage.

A long season of bloom is preferred here, so a few good choices would be Leucanthemum ‘Broadway Lights’, Coreopsis ‘Zagreb’, Hemerocallis ‘Stella D’Oro’, Phygelius ‘Purple Prince’ or Rud-beckia ‘Goldsturm’.

As far as growing conditions are con-cerned – all summer heathers prefer part (at least five hours) to full sun, acidic soil and good drainage – as Phytophthora or root rot can be a problem in wet areas.

Some say it’s the worst thing to pray for.

If you ask God for patience, he’ll help you learn it the hard way – the only way.

I heard about a young father in a su-permarket pushing a shopping cart topped off with a carrier and his screaming baby boy. He was repeating softly, “Keep calm, Thomas. Don’t get ex-cited, Thomas. Don’t yell, Thomas.”

A lady watched with admiration and then said, “I must com-mend your patience in trying to quiet little Thomas.”

To which he replied, “Lady – I’m Thomas.”

How do we model and teach patience to our children?

This month we’re looking at how we can live out God’s kind of love: Love is patient and kind ... Love does not demand its own way (1 Cor.13:4,5).

Patience is in short supply in our day of instant access, drive-through service, easy credit, short-term commit-ments, disposable marriages, entitled teens, and spoiled children.

Many parents think that loving their kids means let-ting them express themselves freely, have what they want, do what they want, and learn

for themselves. My wife and I are enjoying

having our daughter, Carissa, and son-in-law, Matt, and their

two kids live with us while they build their next house.

Carissa and Matt are excellent parents, but our grandkids are normal, rambunctious preschoolers.

Kaitlyn is 4, Zach is 2, and as cute as they are, they could be the next generation of Stanley Cup rioters, or worse, interna-tional terrorists, if we don’t guide them toward maturity.

If left unattended (yes, I’ve done this), our family room can look like a war zone in a matter of minutes.

One way my kids teach their kids patience is through delayed gratification: you can have your fruit snack after you clean up your toys, or go to Chuck E. Cheese’s when you help mommy with the laundry.

As they get older, the delays can be longer: we can buy those shoes you want after you’ve weeded the garden, or we’ll pay half of your first used car when you’ve saved up the other half with a part-time job.

Kindness can be learned through lessons in sharing.

Carissa used to divide one

pack of fruit snacks equally between both kids, but now she has Katie divide them herself.

Sometimes, she’ll even ask Zach to share with Katie, with less predictable results.

On those rare occasions when they give the other sibling more, Carissa will reinforce their kindness with praise.

This subtle change has transformed the way they play, work, and eat with each other and their preschool bud-dies.

Finally, Carissa and Matt model patience and kindness with each other.

Values are caught, not just taught.

We can make a difference in the generations to come by providing them with positive examples to follow.

So go ahead and pray for pa-tience, then watch for the op-portunities to put your prayer into practice.

Rob Buzza is lead pastor at NorthRidge Church.

Patience, kindness take guidance

Maple Ridge construc-tion worker and new father David Bol is train-ing to run the Mara-thon des Sables, known as the toughest foot race in the world. The race lasts six days and covers 254 km across the Sahara desert in Morrocco.

THE NEWS

Aff eldt, Franklin lead Team Canada juniors to wins in Surrey

Maple Ridge’s Jaycee Affeldt and Larissa Franklin helped lead the Canadian Women’s Ju-nior Softball team to a 5-0 record at the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championships in Surrey on Wednesday.

After winning four straight games on the mercy rule to open

the tournament, the Canadian juniors needed the full seven in-nings to defeat the Washington Lake Breeze by a score of 4-2.

Washington surprised Canada by taking a quick 2-0 lead, but the red and white responded with three runs in the third in-ning and one in the fifth and held on for the victory.

After a quick first inning, Washington opened the scoring with two runs in the top of the

second on an RBI triple and two errors.

Canada looked to even the score in the bottom of the frame thanks in part to a single by Af-feldt. However, the Junior Na-tional Team hit a pair of fly outs on the infield to end the inning.

Canada was finally able to push a few runs in to score in the bottom of the third, taking a 3-2 lead.

Neither team was able to get

much going in the fourth, but Canada was able to add an in-surance run in the bottom of the fifth on an RBI single by Carey-Leigh Thomas.

Canada was able to hold on the rest of the way to earn the tight win.

Both Affeldt and Franklin played a major role in a 12-0 win for Team Canada over the Oka-nagan Elite Gold 94.

Franklin hit a two-run single

against the Elite, before scoring on a double steal. In the pitcher’s circle, Affeldt was dominant, throwing four innings without allowing a hit, walking one and striking out eight batters.

When not playing for the na-tional squad, Franklin plays for the White Rock Renegades 91.

Affeldt will be heading to Troy University in Alabama to play NCAA Division I softball in Sep-tember.

Toughest race in the world

David Bol is the fi rst person to tell you that he is insane.

The Maple Ridge con-struction worker and re-cent father is preparing for what many consider to be the toughest foot race in the world.

The Marathon des Sables is a six day race that takes runners across 254-km of the Sahara Desert in Mo-rocco, across some of the most barren, inhospitable landscapes on earth.

The heat will be scorch-ing, with temperatures nearing 50 C.

Experienced runners train for years for the race.

Bol, who began training in January, has never run a marathon before.

“I saw a show on TV about it, and they said it was the toughest race in world, so I said right there that I want to do it,” he says.

“My wife, my family, they all think I’m crazy.”

Bol says he enjoys chal-lenging himself, and he wants the bragging rights of completing the world’s toughest race.

If the idea sounds a little crazy, its not entirely out of character for Bol.

“I’ve been naked bungy jumping a few times,” he says.

Bol is currently alternat-ing 20-km runs with hill climbs up 227th Street on his off days. He says his training regimen is pro-gressing on schedule, and he should be ready for the race in April 2012.

He hopes to be able to run marathon distances within a couple months. The longest stage of the race is 80-km long, so he’ll have to do much more than that.

Competitors are also required to carry all food and personal belongings with them on the run.

“My wife is really sup-portive, but she’s con-cerned for my well-being,” says Bol. “To her, doing something like this would be her worst nightmare.”

The race can be a killer, literally.

In 2007, two competitors died on the race, and all entrants must submit elec-trocardiograms to prove they are healthy enough to compete.

Bol is writing about his preparation on his blog.

He is also hoping to raise money for the Af-rican children’s charity Facing Africa which helps children who are the sur-vivors of a disease called Noma. These children are often impoverished and malnourished and after this disease are left with horrible facial disfi gure-ments.

David Bol is preparing for the race of a lifetime

The Ridge Meadows Burrards peewee girls’ lacrosse team is pro-vincial champion after going undefeated at the tournament last weekend in Port Co-quitlam.

The Burrards opened the tournament with a 5-2 win over Burnaby on July 7, before edg-ing Coquitlam No. 2 by a score of 3-2 on Fri-day.

The Burrards blanked Port Coquitlam in their third game of the tour-nament on Saturday morning, before mak-ing short work of Co-quitlam No. 1 later that afternoon, winning 8-2.

That set up a rematch with Coquitlam No. 2 in the gold-medal fi -nal. The Burrards once again came out on top, winning 5-2.

The Burrards’ Megan Stewart was named the tournament’s most valuable player. Stew-art was also a recipient of the Pee Wee Warrior Fair Play Award.

In the peewee A1 boys’ competition, the Ridge Meadows Bur-rards fi nished in sec-ond place, falling to Coquitlam 7-4 in the fi nal.

The Burrards opened the tournament with an 8-5 win over Coquit-lam on Thursday, be-fore edging New West-minster 7-6 on Friday. On Saturday, Ridge

Meadows defeated Juan De Fuca 14-8 to set up a rematch with Coquitlam in the gold-medal fi nal.

However, it was Co-quitlam that came out on top as the Burrards were forced to settle for silver.

Goalie Nathan Fac-cin received a Pee Wee Warrior Fair Play Award at the tourna-ment.

Five members of the

peewee A1 Burrards squad will be repre-senting B.C. at the 2011 Commissioners Pee-wee National Cham-pionships, beginning July 31 in Whitby, Ont. Chris Armstrong, Wil-liam Clayton, Dylan McIntosh, Dayton Vid-ovich, and Faccin will all be making the trip back east.

Team B.C.’s midget squad will also feature a pair of local players:

Brett Kujala and Joe Olson. Both players are members of the Ridge Meadows Bur-rards midget A1 team that will be competing for a provincial cham-pionship July 20 to 24 in Coquitlam.

At the girls’ lacrosse nationals, Regan Eaton will be a member of the provincial midget team, while Megan Kinna will be part of the bantam team.

BOWYER, Robert Michael (Ribsy)

November 5, 1933 - July 10, 2011

Robert (Bob) Bowyer passed away peacefully with family by his side at McKenney Creek Hospice in Maple Ridge, B.C. at the age of 77. Bob was born at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster and raised in Port Hammond, B.C. Bob, was predeceased by his dear wife Loretta (Bubs), and they were long time residents of Maple Ridge, and formerly, of Port Coquitlam.

Bob will be lovingly remem-bered by his 4 children, Mike (June), Michelle (Melissa), Lou (Linda), Kaleen (Barb), his 5 grandchildren, Kevin (Diane), Steve, Laura, Aaron & Kelsey. Bob also leaves behind his sister, Claire Bowyer of Lang-ley and brother Albert Bowyer of Calgary, Alberta. He will be greatly missed by the many family and friends who shared in his life, and in many good times and celebrations at the family home in Maple Ridge.

Bob was an accomplished ath-lete throughout much of his youthful years. Most notably, Bob was a gifted baseball player, playing in the Dewdney Men’s league for many years. He also played a mean game of golf and he smashed many a shuttlecock with authority in his day.

Bob’s work career at ESCO Limited in Port Coquitlam spanned 38 years where he was the plant superintendent for over 20 years. He was af-fectionately known as the “Man of Steel” by those he knew him in that capacity.

The Bowyer family would like to extend their heartfelt grati-tude to the staff at McKenney Creek Hospice who gently and lovingly cared for Dad in his fi nal days.

Service and reception will be held Friday July 15th at 11AM at Garden Hill Funeral Chapel, 11765 - 224th Street, Maple, Ridge. Burial to follow at Maple Ridge Cemetery.
