Bear hit by car likely OK Last seen limping into greenbelt by Tamarack Lane by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

A bear hit by a car in Maple Ridge on Wednesday has not been found, but is most likely recovering from the encounter. The bruin darted in front of Susan Kirkconnell’s black BMW while crossing Lougheed Highway near Tamarack Lane around noon. “All of a sudden there was a black bear. I hadn’t seen it climb over the median,” Kirkconnell said as she surveyed the damage while waiting for a tow truck near the Maple Ridge Hyundai dealership. “It was a brief encounter with a bear. The ﬁre trucks came and they are on the lookout for him because a bear that’s injured is dangerous.” The bear damaged the front passenger side of the car and dented a back door, leaving it undrivable.

Wynnyk Albion property goes to ALC Can’t apply again for five years if rejected by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter Maple Ridge council went against a staff recommendation Tuesday by voting to send on an application to remove 41 acres of land in the Albion Flats from the Agricultural Land Reserve. Doing so could prevent

commercial development on the property for at least five years. The hay fields north of 105th Avenue are owned by Steve and John Wynnyk, and have been earmarked for strip-mall type retail development, as well as business offices, in the District of Maple Ridge’s Albion Flats draft concept plan. Council voted to forward the application to the Agricultural Land Commission, despite many admitting the proposal was weak and would likely

get turned down. Should the ALC deny the Wynnyk’s application, there would be a ﬁve-year ban on resubmitting, shutting down any chance for commercial development on the property for the near future. Coun Cheryl Ashlie, the lone dissenting vote against sending the application to the ALC, said the application provided little in the way of agricultural beneﬁt for Maple Ridge, and should not have been sent to the ALC.

The application argues the property is poor farmland due to drainage issues, and to offset the loss of agricultural land, proposes moving topsoil from the site to a farm in Mission. Ashlie said she would have preferred to have seen a swap of agricultural land included in the application, with 41 acres elsewhere being entered into the ALR, in exchange for the exclusion of the property north of 105th Ave. See Albion, p17

132 Ave. residents trying to slow traffic would connect with existing horse and bike trails in the area, and create a safe corridor between Maple Ridge Park, Horseman’s Park, and Jerry Sulina Park. Narrowing the road will hopefully encourage commuters to slow down, said Hobbs. “Speed bumps would be great, too,” he said. “We still want people to use the road, we just want them to slow down.”

Organizing Park in Street Day to show narrowed road by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter Residents along 132nd Avenue in Maple Ridge are hoping a trafﬁc calming experiment next week will slow speeding commuters and show the District of Maple Ridge that narrowing the road will help make it safer. Organized by the Alouette Valley Association, Park in the Street Day will see residents along the northern Maple Ridge road park their vehicles along the shoulder to make the roadway seem more narrow, and hopefully slow down trafﬁc. Bruce Hobbs lives along 132nd Ave. and says commuters making their way between the Silver Valley and Rock Ridge subdivisions and 128th Avenue routinely speed 20 to 30 km/h in excess of the 50 km/h speed limit. “It’s basically a racetrack for commuters,” said Hobbs. “It’s been an ongoing problem for years.” Hobbs said wildlife, like bears and deer, have been hit by speeding vehicles along the stretch of road, as have horses. The road is popular with horseback riders, and the Maple Ridge Equi-Sports Centre is located on 132nd Ave., as well.

“We still want people to use the road, we just want them to slow down.” Bruce Hobbs, Alouette Valley Association

Residents previously painted signs alerting motorists of wildlife and asking them to slow down along 132 Avenue. One horse, How-D, was killed in 2004 after being clipped by a vehicle on 132nd Ave., while another horse had to be put down in 2006 after suffering the same fate on that road. Hobbs said it’s a matter of time before a person loses their life on

the road. “We want to ﬁx this before somebody gets killed,” he said. Hobbs is part of the Alouette Valley Association, which has proposed to turn the stretch of 132nd Ave. between 216th and 232nd streets into a recreation

roadway. The proposal, which was presented to Maple Ridge council last year, calls for the narrowing the road to allow for a separated horse trail on the south side of 132nd Ave., and a multi-use bike lane on the north side. The trails

Good berry crop means fewer bear reports Bear from front After it was hit, the bear limped into a green belt near the Albion Flats and headed past homes towards Planet Ice. It was spotted later near a cul-de-sac off Tamarack Lane. The Maple Ridge fire department and Ridge Meadows RCMP locked down Kanaka Creek elementary temporarily and evacuated nearby Reiboldt Park as a precaution. Firefighters also knocked on doors of houses on Tamarack Lane to warn people about the injured bear. Conservation officer James Kelly, however, says the bear is OK. “It is a larger bear. We’ve seen bears walk away from much, much worse accidents,” Kelly added. “He may have a few bruises, but he should be fine, so there is no intention to remove him or that he may be a public safety concern.”

Bear encounters down A good berry crop high in the mountains is keeping bears away from urban areas this year. The abundant supply of food means there has been less conﬂict between bears and humans since they woke up from a winter’s slumber in spring.

The District of Maple Ridge’s new Bear Aware program and B.C.’s Conservation Officer Service are working hard not to repeat last year’s record – 900 reported bear sightings and 16 bears killed here. So far this year, only one bear has been euthanized and five relocated in Maple Ridge. Chris Malfaire, however, is fed-up with a bear who’s been hanging out in his backyard. Attracted by a cherry tree, the bear has been visiting daily since last week. “Pretty soon we won’t have a tree,” said Malfaire, who called the conservation service, police and district because he’s concerned for the safety of his grandchildren. “It’s real adorable, but not if your grandkids are three years old and want to take grandpa’s cell phone and take picture of it. It’s quite neat. I don’t know what to do with it. We tried scaring it with pots and pans, but it just looks at you.” The conservation service won’t be removing the bear from Malfaire’s backyard, on 110B Avenue, near 240th Street. “We will not be going in on this one to remove a bear that is just doing it’s natural thing, which is eating some cherries,” said Conservation Officer James Kelly. “The bear has not shown aggression or is not

Relocation on a bear that is doing it’s natural thing is harsh.” Kelly recommends people who have bears visiting their properties buy air horns to scare them away. “It is a very effective tool. You can do it from the safety of your home,” he said. Malfaire’s Albion neighbourhood, however,

Frank Quinn, the general manager of public works for the District of Maple Ridge, said the proposal is being considered as part of Maple Ridge’s ongoing transportation review. “We’re going to have a series of public sessions ... and meet with residents in the coming months,” he said. In the meantime, Quinn said the District of Maple Ridge will be streamlining Abernethy Way between 224th and 232nd streets by removing four-way stop signs to make it more attractive to commuters.

is a hot bed for bear activity, with garbage being the most common attractant. From May 30 to June 20, more than 40 bears were reported in an area between Lougheed Highway and 104 Avenue, 240th and 244th Street. Maple Ridge’s Bear Aware coordinator Rosie Wijenberg has been knocking on doors to educate homeowners about storing their garbage properly. Homeowners in Albion, however, are taking longer to heed her message. Most don’t have a place to store their garbage and leave bins in alleys, she said. “We give them many chances,” said Wijenberg. She begins by educating residents at the door, then does a garbage audit, which is followed by a warning letter, and finally a fine. “Most people pay attention,” she says. “The areas where I meet the most resistance are the areas where people are the most scared of the bears.” The COS received approximately 37,500 calls regarding human-wildlife conflicts in 2011. Of those calls, approximately 23,800 involved human-bear conflicts. Over the past five years in B.C., an average of 600 black bears have been destroyed each year, while 93 were relocated.

Car Care with Cyril Barry

TWO TRUCKS Twenty-Five years ago two fellas I know quite well both bought brand spanking new one Ton Diesel Pick Up Trucks. We’ll call them Frank & Bob which of course is not their real names. Frank is a fussy fellow and looks after his stuff, Bob on the other hand, uses and abuses his stuff and when it breaks or he gets tired of it, he just goes out and buys new stuff to replace it. Twenty-Five years later, Fussy Frank still owns a mint near new looking 1987 pickup that has almost 370K on the speedo and it still runs strong. Bob mind you, is on his fifth truck since 1987 and it to is a mint near new looking 2012 pickup that has almost 7K on it. So let’s average out the cost of 5 Trucks to be 45k each for a total 225K that Bob has spent on trucks. Plus $100 per month to maintain them so that adds another 30K into the equation over the 25 year term. So the overall total cost for Bob is 255k to drive his truck to this point. Fussy Frank spends about $200 per month in maintenance which is twice what Bob is forced to spend, Bob will only fix it when it breaks down, won’t start or stop, which he wouldn’t do if he wasn’t forced too. Frank spent $45,000 to purchase his truck plus another $30,000 over and above Bob to keep it running smoothly in monthly maintenance. Overall Frank has spent $105,000 to drive the same length of time and virtually the same accumulated mileage. Franks truck is worth $2,500 dollars on a good day, for no other reason than it’s got almost 400k on the odometer. Bob’s Truck is worth $50,000 because it’s new so we need to deduct $50,000 from Bob’s overall cost to own & operate a truck for the last 25 years to read $205K or 8.2K per year which works out to about $700 per month. Fussy Frank’s truck, which he keeps spic and span inside, outside and underside, cost him over that same 25 year span 4.2K per year or $350 per month. When you add up all these figures Bob has spent twice as much to drive the same distance as Fussy Frank. This doesn’t take into account the higher cost of insurance or interest on the loans for the five trucks Bob has purchased. So it’s plainly obvious that it pays, by quite a bit, to maintain your vehicle. Not to mention the reliability factor, Bob has gone many weeks without his truck over the years while it sat in the shop waiting for parts to fix it. Frank has never had his truck fail him in any way, good old Bob has been stuck many times in the last 25 years. So much so that he invested in a BCAA membership. So if you want to maximize your vehicle investment, remember it’s cheaper to keep her, as long as you maintain your ride.

Autopsy fails to reveal how man died by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter An autopsy has failed to reveal how a Maple Ridge man died, leaving police to continue investigating his death as a possible homicide. Ridge Meadows RCMP, paramedics and the ﬁre department were called to the house on Carshill Street just after 2:15 a.m. Monday to care for a man in medical distress. Paramedics performed CPR on the 59-year-old man, but he died a short while later, despite efforts to revive him. The house was sealed off following the man’s death and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was called in to help Ridge Meadows RCMP determine what led up to it. Sgt. Jennifer Pound with IHIT said there was a domestic incident that occurred prior to this man’s death. Although the man had no visible injuries on his body, investigators processed the scene as if a murder had taken place. “The pathologist needs some time to do more testing in order to conclude if the death looks suspicious or is as a result of natural causes,” said Pound. “We won’t have an answer until that report comes to us. We continue to investigate it as a homicide until the evidence changes the course of our investigation.”

Two women were rescued from the Fraser River in Maple Ridge on Tuesday after they were sucked midsteam by strong currents. The pair went for a summer night swim near the Port Haney Wharf, which has been closed to the public for weeks because of high and dangerous river levels. Emergency services got a call to rescue the women around 9:20 p.m., after they drifted almost 30 feet from the bank, while clinging to a log. A Ridge Meadows RCMP officer jumped into the river to try to rescue the women, but had to swim back as the current started pulling him downstream. Firefighters were getting ready to rescue the pair, when a boat arrived to help. The boaters, from Langley, threw two life jackets to the women, who are their 20s, and pulled them to safety. The boat, carrying six young adults, left before emergency service crews could find out their identities. “We were on our way back from dinner at the Gillnetter Pub when we saw a lot of emergency vehicles at the shore,” said Domonique Elstak, 24, who was in the boat with five of her friends. Her boyfriend Kirk Miller owns the boat and was driving that evening. “I said to Kirk we should go closer and take a look at what was going on. That’s when we saw the two girls in the water holding onto a long log.”

The Kanaka Business Park currently has 48 vacant lots for sale, with only three having been sold.

Northeast industrial land ‘underutilized’ Will stay that way until road extended by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter The vast industrial development envisioned for northeast Maple Ridge may never come to fruition due to the site’s remote location, a consultant hired by the District of Maple Ridge told council at it workshop meeting Monday. G. Paul Rollo and Associates was hired by the district to conduct a commercial and industrial strategy review and said the many vacant lots at the north end of 256th Street will likely stay that way until direct road access to the Golden Ears Bridge, via the Abernethy Connector, is provided. “It won’t be competitive until the Abernethy Connector is completed,” Rollo said. “Even then, it’s not

highly desirable land.” The area is located well away from the nearest rail link, navigable body of water, highway, or public transit. The area is also devoid of amenities to service any workers commuting to the area. Of the 301 acres currently zoned for industrial use in northeast Maple Ridge, only 11 acres have been developed, while 72 acres are considered underutilized. Currently, the Kanaka Business Park has 48 vacant lots for sale, with only three having been sold, according to the business park’s own sales brochure. The development bills itself as the most affordable vacant industrial land in Metro Vancouver, with prices ranging from $425,000 to $600,000 per acre. That’s well below what’s being charged elsewhere, notes Mayor Ernie Daykin.

“If you look at the price of industrial land right across the river in Port Kells, it’s over $1 million per acre,” he said. “Today [northeast Maple Ridge] has its challenges ... but I think there’s still potential there.” While it could be decades before the extension to Abernethy Connector is completed, at a cost between $25 to 35 million, Daykin stressed it was important to be patient, and plan for the long-term. In the 1970s, Maple Ridge’s original ofﬁcial community plan designated the area of Lower Hammond, next to Hammond cedar mill, as industrial, Daykin said. In the 1980s, as interest rates rose, there was less of a demand for industrial land and the council of the day opted to turn it into a residential neighbourhood. “Perhaps if they’d stuck to their guns,

it would have been prime industrial land,” Daykin said. “Maybe in 30 years, 256th [street] will be prime industrial land.” In all, the District of Maple Ridge has 1,481 acres of designated industrial land in its current official community plan, with 811 zoned industrial acres. Coun. Al Hogarth suggested expanding the allowable uses in northeast Maple Ridge to encourage a wider variety of businesses to locate there. While Daykin said he was open to looking at adding more flexibility in the zoning, he would like to see retail and service businesses like pharmacies, lawyer’s offices and accountants stay in the downtown core. “We need to stick to our plan and not make impulsive decisions,” he said. Rollo’s final report is due back before council in September.

Don’t feed the bears A bear was hit by a car while crossing Lougheed Highway near Kanaka Creek on Wednesday. It was last seen limping into a forest off Tamarack Lane. Neighbours were alerted, as was Kanaka Creek elementary, as an injured bear could be dangerous. Maple Ridge has a bear aware program now, but it’s difficult to teach a bear that crossing a highway at midday is also dangerous. While that may be a rare occurrence, bear sightings in Maple Ridge are not. They are often seen in subdivisions in the north, east and south areas of the municipality, even downtown. That is the reality of living so close to the mountains, in a community laced with fish-bearing streams. We should be used to it by now, but still conservation officers and RCMP are called about bears eating berries in someone’s backyard or tearing through their garbage. So in the interest of saving a bruin’s life, we offer a few reminders: • lock up garbage and recycling, only put outside morning of pickup; • pick fruit; • layer composts; • keep pet dishes inside; • clean barbeques; • only use bird feeders in winter; • don’t bury livestock carcasses on your property; • store freezers and coolers indoors; • keep doors and windows closed and locked as cooking smells can lure hungry bears; • consider electric fencing, or an air horn. We’re not saying you shouldn’t grow fruit, or have a pet, or cook food, but try to be responsible. Understand that there are bears in urban areas, especially this time of year. That doesn’t mean they should die. So, please, don’t feed the bears. – The News

A plan to protect salmon habitat G

ood news, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the B.C. Ministry of the Environment have collaborated on a proactive catalogue of wild and endangered salmon streams in the lower Fraser Valley. Along the Fraser After decades of Jack Emberly abuse by urbanization, development, and logging, there’s a plan to protect and enhance salmon spawning potential. The document, a review titled, “Wild, Threatened, Endangered and Lost Streams of the Lower Fraser Valley,” assesses the health of 662 streams in the LFV from the Stave River to Hope, and calls on all stakeholders – municipalities, industry, development, and government – to join in “protection and restoration of endangered and threatened streams which still have the potential to produce viable populations of salmon and other species of ﬁsh.” Here’s the bad news. The review is dated 1997. Nothing’s improved, and government today clearly thinks abandoning streams all together is a better idea. B.C. will allow forest clear cutting in areas previously protected by “visual quality objectives” of the Forest and Range Practices Act. It’s no longer necessary for the industry to selective cut or use helicopters to preserve views that only backcountry hikers and

uestion of the week:

Sasquatches will see anyhow. It’s cheaper to carve more roads on the mountain sides of Alouette, Stave, Chehalis, and Harrison lakes. Relaxing logging practices in remote areas – the result of industry lobbying – will further damage threatened streams, but that fits the Stephen Harper’s plan. Most streams are “ditches,” according to Fisheries Minister, Keith Ashfield. Municipalities can scoop them out, agriculture dump herbicides in them with impunity. Ashfield has slashed the DFO budget, halved the number of protection officers, and deleted habitat destruction and pollution from the Fisheries Act inside Bill C-38. Recently, this minister told the Union of Environmental Workers that this ensures prosperity for all Canadians. The act had to be amended “ ... to allow new tools to authorize deposits of deleterious substances.” Fifteen years ago, DFO thought its job was preventing pollution, saving habitat, and protecting fish. In 1997, LFV streams lost – “paved over or filled in” – were 117 (many salmon-bearing); only 14 per cent remained wild. The rest, 71 per cent, are labelled threatened or endangered. The steam study blames agriculture, municipalities, and logging. “We have the worst fisheries minister in 50 years,” says Otto Langer, a coordinator of the stream review, and the DFO biologist who leaked the Harper’s plan to kill the Fish Act. “Logging is an extremely destructive force. Streams went mad with excessive run off. Suddenly, they had double the silt. I

don’t know what there is to protect streams anymore.” What Langer gets, but Ashfield ignores, is the importance of marine-derived nutrients – of lakes and streams – in fish productivity. Nutrient supplies during the 1960s, helped produce 20 adult fish for one spawner. By 1990, the correlation was 5-1, and today one spawner yields one returned adult. In 1997, DFO viewed Harrison Lake as a good nutrient source for sockeye that could be improved with stream enhancement. It’s deep, clean and could remain cool for fish even with climate change. But, each year there’s less insect and plant food for fry to feed on. Fisheries and Marine Service Data Report No. 133 (1979) identifies dozens of negatively impacted streams on both lake shores while pointing out that the spawning potential of many could be increased by 50 per cent. Cogburn Creek is spawning ground for chum, pink, and steelhead, but “logging of the watershed has made this a very unstable stream.” On the lake’s west side, Mystery and Twenty Mile creeks’ spawning gravel supports chum and coho, but “the watershed has been logged, which results in flash floods.” Weaver Creek was crippled by logging. The spawning channel – most of its sockeye fry rear in Harrison Lake – was created after flash floods scoured out the stream bed. In Big Silver Creek, Report 133 says, “the watershed is still being logged off at a rapid rate.” See Emberly, p7

THE NEWS/letters Four per cent tax increases ‘crazy’ EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Pitt sticks to four per cent (The News, July 6). Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters seems to think that a four percent increase in taxes for the next ﬁve years is reasonable. Is she crazy? Homeowners are going into the ﬁfth year of bad economic times with virtually no pay increases. All of us have had to cut our spending in one area or another to make ends meet, yet Mayor Walters doesn’t care. We can all cut our expenses a little more, so the city can continue to spend as it pleases. Over these past few years the city has made no attempts to bring costs under control. Need more money? Just raise property taxes. I wonder what effect it would have on the budget if every Pitt Meadows senior deferred their taxes? The information is on the back of your tax bill. ARCHIE BLANKERS PITT MEADOWS

Paying for it EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Out of touch (The News, July 11). I totally agree with M. Hanczik. A few years ago, Pitt Meadows didn’t have any debt. The answers from politicians are always the same, ‘taxes are manageable.’ Naturally they are manageable, because if city bureaucrats require more money, they just increase taxes. Projects like the new library and bailing out that bankrupt hockey arena should only be undertaken if these ventures are self-sustaining. I have lived in Pitt Meadows for more than 25 years and have never used the library or the hockey ring. If minorities require these facilities, let them pay for it. If I want to play golf, the city does not ﬁnance my passion for the sport, I pay for it. The problem with today’s politicians is, they all use the same stupid comparisons: we are not as deep into the hole as the neighbour city or village. That seems to be the norm these days: if people are not deep enough in debt, let’s get some more credit to buy stuff we don’t really need. I guess Europe hasn’t been in the news enough? Maybe they should see how many cities in California are bankrupt. LANCE FELGNAR PITT MEADOWS

Dismal return expected Emberly from p6 Sockeye, chinook, coho, chum, and pink salmon spawn throughout Big Silver Creek. In 1856, it could be admired from the steamer Umatilla by miners headed to Xa’xtsa, an Indian village at Harrison’s northern end. This was the start of a new road to gold discovered in bars on the Fraser above Yale. Anyone see historical, cultural, or aboriginal reasons to avoid clear cuts? Ashfield says fish runs with that importance will be protected, but those considered “marginal” won’t. “Half the streams listed were behind dams, and considered of marginal value for fish,” replies Langer, “but even the marginal producers are vital to the sustainability of wild salmon. You get 50 coho here, or 50 chum there, it all adds up. Fish rest in these streams and clean out their gills. The government has politicized habitat for companies like Enbridge. We’ve lost 50 years of progress.” A dismal return of Fraser sockeye is expected this year from Washington to Alaska. Langer hopes changes in government will make things better here. Anything’s possible. But, in the interim, for fish and habitat, there is little good news. Jack Emberly is a retired teacher, local author and environmentalist.

Congrats, petition a nice idea EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Pitt sticks to four per cent (The News, July 6). I was beginning to think that I was the only one who noticed that property taxes in Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge are, year after year, rising. However, Tom Murray’s recent comments on the subject indicate that, in fact, there are two of us. Comparing this year with 1997, because that year is the earliest I have records for, my property taxes have risen more than $1,400. It would have been more if the home owner grant had not been increased during this period. Taken on its own, this increase may not seem to be excessive, given that it is over 15 years. However, during this same period the average wages of Canadians has remained relatively static, it now costs me more to commute in my subcompact Toyota than it did in 1997 in a full-size pickup truck. My house insurance is up by one third and ICBC rates have nearly doubled. In the same edition that Mr. Murray’s comments appeared, there is news that Pitt Meadows is supporting an initiative to set up a new ‘slush fund’ for what is called “pan municipal services.” This fund is another line of spending by the GVRD that allows both local councils to shrug off tax increases as ‘beyond our control.’ I am not targeting the present incumbents at municipal hall, as this is a situation that has existed for the past several decades, as far as I can

THE NEWS/files

Tom Murray has started a petition to have council consider a zero per cent tax increase. ascertain. What is bringing matters to a head is the stagnation in wages over the past 10 to 15 years, plus the inescapable fact that, unlike income and most consumption taxes, property taxes are a compulsory tax that takes no account of an individual’s ability to pay. In our case, our modest home is where our children were born and grew up. Our home is an integral part of our memories, and we have many friends in the immediate neighbourhood. I consider that the schemes available to defer taxes or take out mortgages to

pay taxes are a reprehensible way to pass on debt to our descendants just like our provincial and federal governments do. There will only be any chance for a change in municipal tax policies when the majority of residents get off their derrières and vote in people who have a mandate to make changes. I personally do not think that Mr. Murray’s petition will have the slightest impact on the situation, but he should be congratulated for trying. JOHN COCHRAN MAPLE RIDGE

Slip-sliding away into single-vision autocracy EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Ingrid Rice’s recent cartoon in your paper regarding MPs working for their constituents: “Master, we have returned: what is your bidding,” prompts me to write about a letter exchange I had with our MP, Randy Kamp. I had written in regards to the omnibus bill C-38 and the attacks against the charitable environmental organizations, because both of my children work in the non-proﬁt sector. They have university degrees, but decided to take a much reduced salary as NGOs. They are passionate and dedicated and have given countless extra hours for the common good of this country and have not deserved these

smears and attacks. Mr. Kamp did not address a single one of my questions and wrote me back that we should “agree to disagree.” Hiding behind the cliché “to agree to disagree” takes away from true debate. And that is exactly what this government has done in the abominable Bill C-38. In a democracy, and especially in a multi-cultural society as ours, we have many differences, varieties of opinion and ideologies. Debate and discussion and listening to the other side are keystones and fundamental to democracy. That is how we can arrive at what is best for our country. A true democracy can only function when the opposing parties with their

different opinions, which represent actually the majority of Canadians when taken together, are given their chance to discuss, debate and amend in a meaningful way. Bill C-38, which encompasses a huge amount of new laws and massive changes to many other laws, should not be forced through Parliament with an iron ﬁst in a 23-and-halfhour debate. It makes a mockery of Parliament and democracy. Did not a single one of the 700-plus amendments merit discussion and value? Is Mr. Harper infallible in all these new laws and bills, that no improvement could be made to them? Is that in the best interest

of our country? Did Mr. Kamp or any of the other Conservative MPs not have any opinion of their own to agree to all and everything? Did they even know the content of all these changes and bills? When some of the Conservative MPs voiced some objections, they were put into line with Mr. Harper’s iron fist and had to retract their statements the next day. Is that what our democracy looks like now? In many countries, people are fighting and trying to gain their first steps to democracy. Here, we are letting it slip-slide away into a single-vision autocracy. MARIA RAYNOLDS MAPLE RIDGE

Sounding like part of the 99 per cent, because I am EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Men needed not apply (Letters, July 6). Every time I read one of Cherryl Katnich’s letters, I’m left wondering if she is just a talking head for the B.C. Liberals or the federal Conservative Party. Instead of debating the

issues, answering accusations or implications with some kind of constructive counter point of view, all she seems to do is attack the opposing author with slanderous comments or some kind of character smearing, that has nothing to do with the original

point. This time, she stuck to the topic, but what she stopped short of saying is, “At least the NDP is trying to achieve equality for women and minorities, in their ranks”. The B.C. Liberals and federal Conservatives ob-

viously don’t want things to change. I probably come off sounding like one of the 99 per cent (because I am), but she definitely comes off sounding like a protector of the one per cent. SEAN ORCUTT MAPLE RIDGE

roof, thanks to a partnership with Bowman Employment Services, Buxton Consulting, William Weselowski and Associates, and Immigrant Services Society of B.C. “When people come in they are going to be made to feel comfortable,” said coordinator Karoline deVries. The office also helps young job seekers get specialized training so they can enter the workforce, many of which are free through various programs. “Things like a forklift certification, first aid, [Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System],” said deVries. “There’s many training programs available, and we would help them access that.” The employment centre has also partnered with local employers, like Thrifty Foods, Canadian Tire, Haney Builders, Save on Foods, and Staples to help them fill their staffing needs. DeVries said the centre has a lot to offer employers, as well as job seekers, including wage subsidies to cover the costs of training employees with little experience or skills. “Depending on the training the employer provides and the employee’s skill set ... there’s a subsidy that can go to the employer, and we can help them access that,” she said.

Albion from front “They own agricultural land in Maple Ridge ... that might have been more reasonable,” she said. “But sending dirt to Mission? ... Our soil from our agricultural land is best served in Maple Ridge, not Mission.” “This application gives nothing back to farming in Maple Ridge.” Mayor Ernie Daykin agreed there was little net beneﬁt for local agriculture in the application, despite district policy requiring it.

“I think it’s a weak application,” he said. “The net beneﬁt to agriculture has to be more than moving some soil to Mission.” Ashlie doesn’t believe the application stands much chance, given the ALC’s stance in the past. In reviewing the district’s draft plan for Albion Flats, the ALC stated last year it was in favour of restoring agricultural production to the Wynnyk’s property, noting that drainage issues north of 105th Ave. would have to be remedied

now that’s more like it.

before the area south of 105th Ave. would be considered for exclusion. District staff noted in its report a persuasive case would have to be made to convince the ALC to allow the exclusion. That hasn’t happened, said Ashlie, Hogarth and having the application rejected just means council won’t have to deal with the issue for another ﬁve years. “We’re not respecting the process,” she said. “I hope the ALC doesn’t hold it against us. We truly value their opinion, and at the end of the day, we respect their initiative to protect agricultural land.” The majority of counsellors opted to send the application to the ALC, citing the need

for commercial development in the area. “These lands would be in an agricultural pocket surrounded by urban uses,” said Coin. Mike Morden, adding that removing the land from the ALR to allow commercial development would be the “right thing to do.” Coun. Al Hogarth said that while Maple Ridge would be losing agricultural land, “we’re going to be big winners at the end of the day as a community,” should the exclusion be granted. Coun. Judy Dueck voted to send the application to the ALC, but she too admitted it was unlikely to be granted. “I’m not too optimistic given their comments.”

Wildfire plan could drive up building costs

July 14 & 15 Noon–9PM

by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter The District of Maple Ridge’s new Community Wildfire Protection Plan could drive up the cost of new home construction due to new regulations on developments in forested areas. Part of the wildfire plan includes developing a Wildfire Development Permit Area to make sure buildings in forest interface areas use FireSmart landscaping schemes, materials and setbacks to protect from wildfires. “This will drive up the costs for development permits,” said Coun. Mike Morden. “We have to look at our [official community plan] and ask if it makes sense to develop in these areas. It could become cost prohibitive.” New residential developments carved into the forest, like Silver Valley and Rock Ridge, would be the likely targets of the permit, once approved. At Monday’s council workshop meeting, Maple Ridge fire chief Peter Grootendorst told Maple Ridge council that cli-

Developments adjacent to forested areas, like Silver Valley, could be subject to the new Wildfire Development Permit Area. mate change has caused a “significant” increase in forest fires, while residential development in forested areas increases the risk from those forest fires. “The more we go into the forest interface, the more likely we will have a forest fire,” he said. Sixty per cent of Maple Ridge is adjacent to forested land. “If you want to live in the north end of Silver Valley, you are going to have to pay the price,” said Morden. Counsellors unanimously ratified the plan at Tuesday’s council

meeting, agreeing that it was needed to protect homes for forest ﬁres. “After Kelowna, a lot of lessons were learned,” said Coun. Judy Dueck on Monday. “If we want to go into these areas, there needs to be a cost to it.” The Maple Ridge Fire Department and District of Maple Ridge planning department will both be holding information sessions in coming months, before bringing the permit plan back to council. Coun. Al Hogarth noted that given the numerous changes to the building code being proposed,

consultation with builders and the province will be necessary. “I’m totally in favour,” he said at Tuesday’s meeting. “We just have to make sure we’re going to be able to do it.” The Maple Ridge Fire Department received grant funding from the Union of B.C. Municipalities in 2006 to develop the Community Wildﬁre Protection Plan, which was rolled out in 2007. • For more information about protecting your home from a forest ﬁre, visit www.mapleridge. ca

Maple Ridge approves backyard bees

Some of the most efficient Furnaces and Heat Pumps on the market.

Maple Ridge council voted unanimously to allow backyard beekeeping on Tuesday. The move follows similar bylaws in Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, and New Westminster to allow hobby honeymakers in residential areas. The beekeeping bylaw

allows residents to keep a maximum of two hives per property. Hives have to be located behind the principle building on a property, and built 2.5 metres above ground with a two-metre solid fence or hedge. The District of Maple Ridge’s agricultural advisory committee will be presenting a backyard farming exhibit at this year’s Country

Fest, which will include information on hobby beekeeping. Committee vice-chair Candace Gordon said she was pleased Maple Ridge council decided to allow backyard beekeeping, given how important bees are to food production. “Without bees, we would lose one-third of our food,” Gordon said. “There would be no apples, no pears, no

peaches, no zucchini. Anything requiring pollination needs bees.” While a single hive can contain up to 30,000 bees, Gordon said bees are safe and stings uncommon, as most “bee” stings are actually from wasps, which are far more aggressive. “The only time I’ve ever been stung by a bee is when I sat on one, so you can’t really fault the bee,” she said.

Suspect sought in Ridge bank robbery

Police are looking for a man who robbed a credit union in Maple Ridge on Thursday. The man entered a Westminster Savings around noon and passed a note to the teller asking for cash. He was handed an undisclosed amount and walked out.

The suspect is a white man, 25 to 35 years old, 5’6’’ to 5’8’’, and about 220 pounds. He was wearing a dark blue and red striped baseball hat with a Los Angeles Dodgers

logo (LA) in red, a black jacket with a white logo on the left side, a black B.C. Lions T-shirt and shorts with a ﬂoral pattern. • Call 604-463-6251.

No cash being set aside to rebuild affordable units by J eff Nagel Black Press Metro Vancouver is headed for tough decisions on whether the regional district eventually rebuilds its aging collection of affordable housing complexes or decommissions them. The issue arose at a Metro council-of-councils meeting last week in Surrey, where White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin noted there is no fund in place to cover the long-term capital replacement costs of Metro’s more than 50 rental housing complexes. “They will have to be replaced,” he said. “So we’re going to have to come up with the money somewhere.” Although Baldwin suggested Metro try to “upload” responsibility for affordable housing back to the province, he noted Victoria is “quite happy to have us do the job.” Nor, he said, is it likely the region could tear down old complexes and sell the land or put it to other uses. “I suspect that would be politically unpalatable,” Baldwin said. “There would be a public outcry if we did.” The regional district currently owns and manages more

than 3,600 units, some of which charge market rents that in turn help subsidize other units reserved for low-income tenants who qualify for supplements from B.C. Housing. More than 10,000 residents are housed in Metro Vancouver Housing complexes. “It is not a municipal responsibility,” Baldwin said “Somehow we got into the business and we’ve never gotten out of it. In fact, we’ve got into it more and more.” The housing arm of Metro costs $35 million a year to operate and maintain, but that’s entirely covered through rents and B.C. Housing supplements – only housing policy and planning functions at the regional district are paid out of taxes. Where a gap exists is in setting capital aside to replace the buildings, which were built decades ago with federal subsidies. A planned redevelopment of Metro’s Heather Place townhouse complex in Vancouver near Vancouver General Hospital may offer one model for rebuilding, particularly in areas with high real estate values. Its replacement will be a mixed-use project built by a private developer with market housing where bonus densities have been offered in exchange for the inclusion of affordable housing units, said Surrey Coun. Judy Villeneuve, who sits

ENTER

on Metro’s housing committee. “There is an aging stock,” she said. “We have to look creatively at how we can ensure that we hold that stock.” Villeneuve noted Metro Vancouver and other local partners are lobbying hard for Ottawa to develop a national housing strategy with new incentives to build co-op and affordable housing. “It’s falling on deaf ears,” she said. Homelessness emerged as a major problem after the federal government stopped building new affordable housing projects in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Villeneuve said.

“It’s falling on deaf ears.” Judy Villeneuve, Metro housing committee “If that could be reversed, the cost of dealing with people who are homeless – and the ensuing health problems and crime problems and everything else associated with poverty – could actually be addressed.” Several council-of-councils meetings running from July 5-11 in each sub-region offered civic leaders a preview of the region’s 2013 budget process, which aims to limit the increase in Metro’s per household levy to 2.5 per cent next year.

Not moving fast enough on cycling I

n late June, more than 800 delegates from countries around the world, including some from Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge, took part in Velocity Global 2012, the world’s premier international cycling planning conference, in Vancouver. It was a place to find inspiration, knowledge and experience for politicians, planners and advocates (those who could afford to attend), who were looking for ways to get more people to bike in their cities. I couldn’t attend the conference, but my husband Ivan, who co-chairs the local HUB committee, did, as a member of the organizing committee of the conference. I decided to join him, with our two kids, for the Velo-city bike parade in Vancouver on the Thursday. The streets of Vancouver were filled with hundreds of ‘Bixi’ bikes from Montreal’s successful bike share program, brought to Vancouver for the occasion. It was a wonderful feeling to share the road with hundreds of other people on bikes, and it made me chuckle to see the members of the Dutch delegation with inflatable clogs on their heads in place of helmets, just to make a point. One of the ‘rock stars’ of urban cycling to be found at the conference was Gil Peñalosa, the former commissioner of

parks and recreation in Bogotá, Columbia. Peñalosa, under his brother Enrique’s leadership as mayor, oversaw in the late ’90s the develop- Cycling Jackie Chow ment of the ‘Cicloruta’, an extensive bicycle network that presently consists of more than 340 kilometres of bike paths and lanes that help curb congestion and provide a safe, cheap, equitable and convenient way of getting around for everyone. Bogota is also the place where the term ‘Ciclovía’ was born. It’s a tremendously popular weekly event. For several hours every Sunday, 120 kilometers of main streets are blocked to car trafﬁc, and about 1.5 million people on foot, on bicycles, and roller blades take over the streets. People exercise, do aerobics, make new friends and have a wonderful time. These days, Peñalosa continues to inspire as the executive director of 8-80 Cities, a nonproﬁt organization based in Toronto that promotes a vision of livable and healthy cities for all. Our family had a chance to

have a brief chat with him when he happened to sit down beside our table at the coffee shop in the Sheraton Hotel, where the conference was held, and must have overheard my mufﬂed “that’s Gil Peñalosa,” because he came over and introduced himself to us. When my daughter lamented that I tend to raise my voice when I ‘talk cycling’ – which is, of course, pretty embarrassing – he re-assured her: “Don’t worry about it. It’s called passion, and some day you will feel it too.” Peñalosa’s message to participants was one of urgency. We live in a perfect storm: cities are facing trafﬁc congestion, climate change, an obesity crisis, an economic crisis and unprecedented population growth. In the next 25 years, the population in Canada is going to grow by about 6.9 million people, which is twice the population of B.C. In Greater Vancouver alone, the growth is expected to be 40 per cent, or more than a million people. We need to move now and we need to move fast. Politicians need to have a vision, and guts. New visions do not start with majority support. You have to take a risk to implement them. Peñalosa feels that Vancouver has done great things so far, but things aren’t moving fast enough.

Metro’s high congestion ranking called deceptive by J eff Nagel Black Press

wow%

70 UP TO

OFF

ON O SELECTED STYLES S

OFFER BEGINS JULY 11, 2012 2

Metro Vancouver is Canada’s most congested urban area and second only to Los Angeles in North America, according to a report. The rankings by GPS maker TomTom – based on data gleaned from the trafﬁc movements of its subscribers – found Vancouver drivers take on average 30 per cent longer to make a trip at congested times than when roads and highways are free ﬂowing. Los Angeles was worst among North American cities – with a 33 per cent delay – while Miami, Seattle, Tampa and San Francisco ranked third through sixth at around 25 per cent. Toronto was ninth at 22 per cent. For Vancouver, TomTom estimated conges-

tion translates into a 34-minute delay for each hour driven in peak periods, adding up to 83 hours over the course of a year for motorists with a 30-minute daily commute. But TransLink spokesman Drew Snider said the findings are deceptive. Metro Vancouver has fewer highways and therefore lower overall traffic speeds than Los Angeles, he said. That means a 10 kilometre per hour reduction in the speed of moving traffic is a bigger proportional delay here compared to U.S. cities with more freeways, giving Vancouver a worse ranking. “We made the choice not to punch freeways through the centre of Vancouver and that’s made the region more livable,” Snider said.

He said TransLink is working to expand transit – as well as cycling and pedestrian infrastructure – to offer alternatives to car use in more of the region. SFU City Program director Gordon Price said the rankings more accurately reﬂect the plight of drivers in areas where cars dominate, but not where transit is frequent and more viable. “Car congestion is not a measure of mobility,” he said. “So long as you have choices, you don’t have to be hung out in trafﬁc.” Price said the region will soon see what a huge increase in highway capacity achieves when the new Port Mann Bridge, expanded Highway 1 and South Fraser Perimeter Road all open. Highway congestion should be cut, at least initially, he said.

The 18-Month GIC at % 2 .00 1

Put your money where your sizzling rate of return is.

Don’t reinvent wheel Cycling from p19 He pointed to some examples, like Vienna, which has 1,200 km of separated bike lanes, and Seville, with only about 0.2 per cent of trips made by bike only ﬁve years ago, now has 140 km of bike lanes, and about seven per cent of trips are made by bicycle. “When you build for cars, you get more cars. If you build for people, you get happy and healthy people,” Peñalosa said. Our family also had an unexpected opportunity to attend a presentation by the ‘Justin Bieber’ of urban cycling, Mikael Colville-Anderson, who was born in Fort McMurray, but lives now in one of the best cities in the world for cycling, Copenhagen, where he writes on his successful cycling blogs and owns a consulting company that works with cities on how to build bicycle infrastructure and how to promote cycling. Colville-Anderson’s message: • We need to make cycling the quickest form of transportation from A to B. • We need to stop

focusing on the helmet issue. It makes people see cycling as a dangerous activity, which it isn’t. The health beneﬁts of cycling are 20 times greater than the risks involved. • We need to stop ignoring the automobile. It needs to be tamed. We need 30 km/h on all residential streets, and separated bike lanes on all arterials. If we build good infrastructure, he says, you’ll see the behaviour of people on bikes improve. The best way to do it right is by learning from the mistakes made by others and from success stories elsewhere, and copy the types of infrastructure that work, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. In the past 30 years, the number of kids walking or biking to school has decreased from 82 per cent to 14 per cent worldwide. In Canada, on average, two per cent of kids presently bike to school. “If it’s not good enough for a child, it’s not good enough,” Peñalosa said. Jackie Chow is a member of the local chapter of HUB.

Go ahead and make my day L

ast week my wife and I were onlookers of a gunfight – ear-deafening shotguns and pistols, gun fire and gun smoke. Was that dramatization of the old west, outside the Irma Hotel in Cody, Wyoming, what it really used to be like? I doubt it. But the tourists beside us from Milan, Italy were delighted, as was I. The sight, smell and shock grabs your attention. An old western spoof is one thing, but the whole weapons accessibility and emphasis from our friends south of the border is a little unnerving. My Canadian conservatism and safety conscience rises to the forefront as I walk into the backyard of my sonin-law’s home to see an axe, several knives and a throwing star stuck into a tree above my swinging, playing grandchildren. Then the same evening, for a birthday gift from a friend, he receives a blow-dart gun. And the grandchildren are still playing. God, protect them, because I’m a thousand kilometers away now. The Old Testament of the Bible is filled with the most graphic violence and war as God commands Israel to conquer the ungodly nations of the Middle East. Then Israel is subjected to the same as it turns against God and falls into idolatry and rebellion. What can be overlooked in the New Testament is that Jesus addresses the source of

Hydrangeas about to steal the show V

irtually every well-tended garden is now going through its cycle of summer colour, but a certain flowering shrub is just around the corner, preparing to steal the show. Hydrangeas, next to roses, are perhaps the most common deciduous flowering shrub in West Coast gardens. The ‘macrophylla’ or ‘garden hydrangea,’ was introduced to England in 1736, and since then a whole series of exciting new varieties have been developed for the home garden. When folks ask me to recommend a good vine for a shady north wall, my first choice is the climbing hydrangea, ‘anomala petiolaris’. This deciduous, fast-growing vine has fourinch long, dark, heart-shaped glossy leaves. It has aerial rootlets that cling to virtually anything standing still, and the plant itself will stretch to 20 feet or more, if left untrimmed. Its foliage appears quite early in the spring and lasts well into the autumn. In my opinion, it almost qualifies as an evergreen vine. The real feature of this attractive vine, however, is its large, flat white flower clusters, which grow to six inches across and resemble the lace-cap varieties. This hydrangea is hardy to minua-25 C, which is surprising because of its lush appearance. It’s a winner in any garden and will tolerate some sun, but the foliage is far richer in a more shaded location. The white flowering hydrangea you see in fall gardens is most likely the ‘P.G.’ variety, which is short for ‘paniculata Grandiflora’. You’ve probably seen some in tree forms as many have been grafted that way. It is quite easy to select one strong branch and train it into a tree form. Believe it or not, this hydrangea is Prairie hardy, tolerating temperatures of minua-35 C. Given time, the plant can become almost

Its massive, pendulous cone-shaped ﬂowers appear in mid-July and often last until late September, when they take on a pinkish hue. The foliage of this ﬁne garden plant also turns a rich bronze in fall, so it is a colourful accent in your autumn garden.

‘Little Lime’, one of the hot newer varieties that turns cream then multi-coloured, is a shorter cousin I love for those sunny but more compact locations. The most compact of all is H.p. ‘Bombshell’, growing only three feet high and wide and blooming from July through to frost with stunning pure white blooms. ‘Angel’s Blush’ is another new variety that comes out white, then immediately turns pink

and holds that beautiful pink to the end. The show stealer, however, has to be H.p. ‘Vanilla Strawberry,’ with its stunning white flowers that are almost immediately infused with red, creating a ‘wow’ sensation. ‘Lace Cap’ hydrangeas have certainly drawn the most interest during the past few years. They are called ‘Serrata’ or ‘Lace Cap’ because a cluster of sterile flowers in the centre are surrounded by large florets of traditional hydrangea blossoms. The effect is charming, and in shady locations they seem to outlast the ‘macrophylla’ or common varieties. Like the big-leafed hydrangeas, however, the blossoms will turn a beautiful sea-blue in acid soils and pink or reddish-purple in chalk soils. Remember: you can change their colour by adding lime to keep them pink or aluminum sulphate to make them blue. There are now white ‘Lace Cap’ varieties that look classy and elegant in any setting, and they do not change colour. One of the lesser known hydrangea varieties is the ‘quercifolia,’ or ‘oak-leafed,’ hydrangea. This handsome shrub has rather large leathery leaves resembling oak leaves, and it grows to about six feet high. This is a great plant for heavily shaded areas because the creamy white flowers, which appear in June, brighten up those dull spots, and the foliage, which turns a bright scarlet-crimson in fall, is really outstanding. Unfortunately, this oakleafed variety is often quite hard to locate in nurseries. Most hydrangeas are very versatile, but they prefer moist soil and bloom far longer with some shelter from the intense afternoon sun. Brian Minter owns and operates Minter Gardens, just outside of Chilliwack.

Adera wins at international building awards

Ultima takes home a Gold Nugget Adera Development Corporation was a big winner at the Gold Nugget Award ceremony last month, winning seven awards for three of their developments.

This is the fourth year in a row that Adera has taken home a Grand Award. “This year’s Gold Nugget Awards

is Adera’s best yet,” says Adera President Norm Couttie. “To be recognized with six awards of merit is phenomenal at this high level of competition, but to win a Grand Award at (an) international building awards (ceremony) is thrilling.” Adera also won Awards of Merit for Multi-Family Housing Project – over 50/acre for seven35, On the Boards MultiFamily Community for Sail, Green Sustainable Residential Community for seven35, Residential Project of the Year – Attached Product in an Urban Setting for seven 35, and International Residential Project – Attached 1.0 FAR and over for seven35 and Ultima.

‘This is really something out of the ordinary’

Solo David has views and architecture all in one by Kerry Vital

Standing on your front steps outside Solo David by Mosaic Homes, you see the Lower Mainland stretching before you. Situated in a fantastic location on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain, the views are simply out of this world. “Architecture, views, value: it’s all there,” says Mosaic’s Brandon Trent. “This is really something out of the ordinary.” He’s not exaggerating. With large windows and Solo David’s northsouth facing location, you’ll be able to see beauty from every angle. Built in a classic Tudor style, with recessed entries, oversized eight-foot doors, wood trim and a stucco finish, the exteriors themselves are almost like works of art. Each home is three storeys. Two-car garages are at the rear with a walk-out entrance to the main floor and a fenced backyard.

“

These homes won’t last,” says Mosaic’s Brandon Trent. “They’re exclusive and unique to the mountainside.”

With only 16 three-storey homes in the project, ranging from 3,516 to 3,522 square feet, Solo David is an exclusive community that is perfect for families of all sizes. With the ability to add a suite or an extra bedroom, it’s easy to make your home fit your lifestyle. “It’s really flexible for families,” Trent says. Inside, the homes are modern and contemporary, with laminate flooring and an open-plan layout. Buyers are able to choose between a threeand four-bedroom configuration, depending on your needs. The lower level offers plenty of options for customization, whether you want to build a mortgage helper, a large entertainment space or a home office. The possibilities are endless, Trent says. Heading up the stairs, the main living area opens before you. With nine-foot ceilings, the sense of space is incredible. The kitchen is huge, with tons of storage space and elegant quartz countertops. “This is a massive dining room,” says Trent. The show home features a table set for eight, but you could fit at least 10 people in the space. Beside it, the living area is complemented by the large bay window and a flex space that can be used as a library or extra living space. Upstairs, the master bedroom is the

epitome of comfort, with its walkin closet and coffered ceilings that continue in the ensuite bathroom. “This is a stunning bedroom,” Trent says. “There’s just nothing like it.” One of the fabulous features here is the large window seat that affords you yet another beautiful view. Those views will never disappear, Trent says, since Mosaic will also be building Riley, a collection of Tudor rowhomes which complements the streetscape and does not impede the scenery. The other bedrooms on the upper floor are spacious and inviting. A flex space is featured up here as well, so you can decide to close it off to make a fourth bedroom, or leave it open to use as a playroom or office space. The grand opening will take place on Saturday, July 14 at noon, and Mosaic is expecting a great turnout. “These homes won’t last,” says Trent. “They’re exclusive and unique to the mountainside.” Homes start at $699,900. For more information, visit www.solohomes.ca or call 604-878-SOLO (7656). The Home Store is located at 3471 David Avenue.

Not the type to slow down Kelly Berkey and her son Tayten refuse to let Type 1 diabetes keep them from the love of sport by T i m Fi t z g e r a l d contributor

t would be easy for Kelly Berkey to call it quits. The aches and pains endured while training and competing in triathlons is hard enough on the body. But for someone with Type 1 diabetes, the landscape is completely different. It’s a condition the Pitt Meadows mother of two has lived with for the past 31 years. On average, she checks and regulates her insulin levels 15 times a day. To compete at an elite level takes a discipline most simply don’t have. But for Berkey, motivation is a heartbeat away. Her eightyear-old son Tayten, who plays lacrosse, also battles with Type 1 diabetes. “He is totally my motivation,” Berkey says as she wipes a tear from her eye. “Whenever I’ve hit that hard part where I feel I could be done, I literally see his little face and see what he will face in his life and I want him to know he can do anything he puts his mind to. Not just tell him, but show him he can do anything.” Berkey, who describes herself as someone who has always loved athletics, decided little more than two years ago that she would take on the challenge of the Iron Mountain triathlon in Maple Ridge. But the biggest question facing her was how? With Type 1 diabetes, would Berkey be able to regulate her blood sugar over the gruelling 1.5-kilometre swim, 40-km ride and 10-km run facing her? As a child growing up in Peterborough, Ont., Berkey spent her summers travelling to Huntsville, where she attended Camp Huronda. The 110-acre refuge specialized in dealing with kids with Type 1 diabetes, something she says made a

Tim Fitzgerald/THE NEWS

Kelly Berkey and son Tayten of Pitt Meadows both play a number of sports despite having to use an insulin pump to deal with Type 1 diabetes . huge difference in her life. “As a kid, just knowing there were other people out there like me made all the difference.” So as she approached the idea of pushing her body to what would seem an inconceivable limit, she reached out and found another support system to help her cross the finish line. Berkey’s research led her to a support group called Insulindependence, Its goal is to help diabetics find strategies to managing their fitness goals. For Berkey, it was like finding a long-lost friend. “That diabetes connection was back in my life. I realized what I had missed all those years. That community of people who know exactly what you are talking about.” Berkey says she was able to connect with a number of elite athletes, a number of whom had competed in marathons. The idea was to understand the science of fuel for the body, when and what to eat so her blood sugar would be stabilized while racing. “Food isn’t food to me, it’s a calculation. A bowl of strawberries in 10 grams of carbs, a sandwich is 24 grams,” she notes. So Berkey discovered a special shake used for people with hypoglycemia that enables her to not only compete, but to challenge for top spot.

Despite a brutal start at the Iron Mountain event, where a kick in the water almost derailed her dreams and saw her leave the water second to last, Berkey more than made up time in the bike and swim portion, finishing fourth overall, and third in the women’s division. That result reaffirmed her desire to continue on, to prove to herself, but more importantly to her son Tayten, that life with diabetes can be a long and healthy adventure. “He and I could have it far worse. Type 1 diabetes is the only medical condition that is 100 per cent in your control. You decide how healthy you want to be, how long you want to live by how well you control your diabetes.” Berkey is amazed by how some people react when they find out she competes at a high level while battling the disease. However, she refuses to let anyone, or anything, slow her or Tayten down.

• Kelly Berkey will be at the opening of Little Savages second hand clothing store in Pitt Meadows on Saturday fundraising for insulindependence.org before she heads to the Ragnar Northwest Passage Rally starting in Blaine, Washington next weekend.

Road races all the rage as local cycling team pedals past competition B.C. Superweek has been super good for the Local Ride/Dr. Vie Superfoods elite women’s cycling team. The team, with rider Jean Ann Berkenpas of Maple Ridge, launched into the province’s biggest week in competitive cycling with wins in the first two stages of the competition. The team grabbed an overall general classification win at the Tour de Delta, thanks in large part to Berkenpas’s eighth-place finish in the 88-kilometre race on Sunday. Teammate Steph Roorda claimed the Tour de Delta overall title after finishing second Friday in a criterium event,

and winning the second criterium stage on Saturday. She secured the overall win with a second-place finish Sunday. “The team has had an amazing showing so far this week,” said team manager Barry Lyster. “They have displayed excellent teamwork with the goal of getting Steph across the finish line first.” At the UBC Grand Prix Tuesday, Roorda escaped from the pack and finished first with a minute to spare over her chasers. Roorda recently missed out at the Canadian Olympic trials by the slimmest of margins. “Teammates Jean Ann Berkenpas and Lisa Howard have been integral in

creating dynamic and exciting women’s competitions and helping Roorda reach the podium,” said Lyster. Wednesday night featured the Global Relay Gastown Grand Prix. The event, on hiatus for the past two years, featured a cash purse of $40,000. Roorda and Howard finished fifth and sixth, respectively, while Berkenpas placed 28th. The team was back in competition Thursday at the The Giro di Burnaby criterium before wrapping up the weeklong cycling event with the three-day Tour de White Rock, running July 13-15.
