Two dogs are the victims of cougar attacks in Ridge.ERIC [email protected]

A Maple Ridge dog owner is nursing his three-year-old shepherd-husky-cross back to health, and warning other owners to be wary of their surroundings after a frighten-ing incident on Sunday even-ing at a popular Maple Ridge hiking area.

Andrew Dodge was hiking with his dog Tula – who was running ahead of him – in the Malcolm Knapp UBC Research Forest Reserve, between Mike Lake and the Incline Trail, next to Golden Ears Provincial Park.

All of a sudden, Dodge “heard a big fight and lots of yelping.”

Running as quickly as he could in the direction of the sound, and shouting Tula’s name, Dodge managed to find Tula coming out of the trees “very distressed” and hurt.

“She took off back down the trail and I ran after her until we reached the car park at Mike Lake,” he said.

It was at the car that Dodge noticed Tula “had been bleed-ing in the neck area.”

Dodge hadn’t parked his car in the Mike Lake car park, however, opting instead to park at the main lot. This meant that he and Tula still had a fair distance to to get help, but Tula soldiered on.

“She was very weak but made it back to the car where I took her to the emergency animal hospital in Langley.”

It was determined that Tula’s wounds were caused by a cougar attack, and Dodge said he notified a conservation officer of the incident.

“They said they would pass on the message to the rangers in that area,” he added.

For now, Dodge is just happy that Tula survived the ordeal.

“I am very thankful she is alive,” Dodge said.

“We hike that trail on a regular basis.”

Unfortunately, a second, separate cougar and dog encounter early Wednesday morning, did not turn out so well.

A homeowner on Marc Road – close to the Malcolm Knapp Forest – awoke at 4 a.m. to hear his black lab barking and screaming in the backyard, according to police.

It appears the dog was then dragged into the woods.

Both Ridge Meadows RCMP and a local conservation offi-cer attended to the scene.

“When RCMP arrived, they did see the cougar, and I believe a shot was fired, but there wasn’t a hit,” said Conservation Officer James Kelly.

“When I arrived, we searched the bush for it,” he said.

After tracking it for awhile, one of the search members did see it, “had a good sightline, and was able to take the shot and kill the cougar.”

It was confirmed it was the same cougar that had dragged the dog from the owner’s property and out of the yard, due to the close proximity to where the deceased dog was found.

The fact that the dog was taken from the backyard makes this case “a little more unusual,” said Kelly.

Kelly said it’s impossible to say for sure if the same cou-gar is responsible for the two attacks, but said that could be very well be the case.

“I can say, ‘as the crow flies’ from this location to where the other incident took place, is about four kilometres, which is definitely within a cougar’s travelling distance,” he said.

The cougar was a skinny, “but not emaciated” female.

With the cougar dead, no official warnings are being issued, but due care is always recommended when in wildlife habitat, Kelly said.

Ridge’s Shady Lane (124th Avenue) came tumbling down Tuesday, much to the anger of some area residents. According to the City, however, the removal of eight mature trees was allowed under the current tree bylaw.

Tula cuddled with her owner Andrew Dodge while at the same time showing the puncture marks on her shaved neck, the result of a bite from a cougar that nearly took the Maple Ridge dog’s life.

HOMELESSNESS

Mayor’s tact earns praiseCOLE [email protected]

Cliff Avenue has been the focus of plenty of controversy, but Mayor Nicole Read’s refusal to continue to move the campers around earned praise from a team of lawyers and legal advocates Tuesday.

Members of the Pivot Legal Society, a group of legal advo-cates and law-yers visited City hall on June 9, to discuss the newly renamed Resiliency Initiative with the City council.

The Resiliency Initiative – formerly the Mayor’s Homelessness Solutions Task Force – is the City’s comprehensive plan to deal with the ongoing issues of unsheltered people.

“[Maple Ridge] has an opportunity to set an important precedent for how municipalities in this country deal with a national housing crisis that has landed on their doorstep,” wrote D.J. Larkin, a lawyer with Pivot, in an edi-torial to the Vancouver Sun.

On Tuesday evening, Larkin praised the Mayor’s measured approach to the Cliff Avenue camp.

“This is a really important time in terms of shifting the conversation around homelessness from one of poli-cing and bylaw enforcement, and one of actually finding alternatives,” said Larkin.> More at www.mrtimes, search “Larkin”

MAPLE RIDGE & PITT MEADOWS TIMESA4 Thursday, June 11, 2015 NEWS

Exploding ammunition forced firefighters to pull back for a bit when fighting a blaze in Whonnock late last week.

The fire, which started in and subsequently destroyed a decommissioned sauna shack, as well as another outbuilding, also caused “significant damage” to an older home on the property, and sparked a series of spot fires in a neighbouring hog fuel pile at Noble Custom Cuts, said assistant fire chief Michael Van Dop.

The rural fire kept Maple Ridge and some Mission firefighters hopping figuratively and literally, said Van Dop, who explained some of the residents are com-petitive shooters who had ammunition stored in the house. When it started to discharge due to the fire, the firefighters had to back away.

The fire, which has since been deemed to be “acci-dental in nature” was reported by residents at about 2:30 p.m. last Thursday afternoon, June 4.

“It was extremely difficult to contain and extin-guish,” Van Dop said, noting teams were on scene for more than six hours.

RURAL BLAZE

Ammo marred firefighting efforts

Rural homeowners may qualify for fire insurance savings.

Maple Ridge has a large rural community that is on the “forest interface,” according to Maple Ridge fire chief Dane Spence.

“The ability for us to transport water to a fire scene so that we can seamlessly extinguish a large blaze is an important part of our evolution as a department,” he explained.

Deputy fire chief Howard Exner organ-ized and executed a special exercise last year, monitored by the fire underwriters, to demonstrate their capacity to get water to rural areas of the community that are not ser-viced by fire hydrants.

The exercise was timed and the water quantities were measured and certified for-mally.

In addition to the skill practice, the fire department earned a “superior shuttle service designation.” It’s that designation that means some rural home-owners will now be able to receive a dis-count on their fire insurance premiums.

Homeowners covered in the Superior Tanker Shuttle Service area will be getting a notification in the mail with confirmation of the designation, and an area map.

“I’d like to thank the Maple Ridge Fire Department on behalf of council and the community for their work in obtaining the Superior Tanker Shuttle Service designation,” said Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read. “I rec-ognize that there was a lot of planning and training to earn this achievement.”

Maple Ridge is a growing community, and the fire department continues to meet the challenges of the City’s “diverse geography” and growing population, she added.

MAPLE RIDGE & PITT MEADOWS TIMES Thursday, June 11, 2015 A5COMMUNITY

A heritage home will be open for viewing this Saturday.TROY [email protected]

The doors of a 92-year-old home will open to the public this Saturday in Hammond.

On June 13, James Rowley and Leanne Koehn, owners of the herit-age house at 11406 205th St., are hosting three small group tours and an open house.

Groups of a maximum of 12 people will go on 45-minute long private tours at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., and 1 p.m.

The open house, includ-ing refresh-ments, runs from 2 to 4 p.m.

An identical day is being held Saturday, June 27.

Full details and tour reservations are at www.eventbrite.ca/e/ham-mond-forever-house-tour-tickets-17199115016.

The “Hammond Forever House” as the couple calls it, is the historic Whitehead residence, a crafts-man-style cottage built by Koehn’s grandfather Carl Whitehead, in 1923 with his own hands, largely

from wood produced in the nearby Hammond Cedar Mill.

In 1922, Whitehead bought the land the home stands on and the rancher-style home that still stands beside it. He also built three more homes around the block, as well.

The couple calls the home the “Hammond Forever House” “because it exemplifies the historic town of Port Hammond Junction and we’re going to make it last for-ever,” Rowley said.

This is the story of “the renova-tion and retrofit a house that heats and cools itself, and conserves both energy and water,” Rowley noted.

After five years of planning, reno-vations and a retrofit of the home

are set to hap-pen in July.

Read about the house at www.ham-mondfh.ca.

Visitors are urged to bring pennies to donate. They will form part of the new cop-

per floor in the new upstairs water closet.

Rowley said the “pillars of the tour” are heritage, sustainability, and community.

“Most people agree that preserv-ing heritage houses is a good thing. Most people also agree that from an environmental standpoint it’s better to make an existing home energy efficient than it is to knock

it down and build a new super efficient one,” Rowley said. “After all, ‘The greenest home is the one already standing.’”

Rowley’s question is, if destroy-ing homes and building new ones is wasteful and inefficient, why is it actually easier than preserving and retrofitting existing homes, and what can people do about that?

“These are central questions we can explore on the tour,” he said.

Other themes may include: • how the house evolved from

1923 to today; plans for the house;

exactly what they’re going to do with it;

• how the plans evolved; • reducing waste in your home

so that you don’t need garbage pick-up service;

• hydronic heating (radiant heat);

• the Maple RidgeNet-Zero Home Energy Retrofit Project;

• solar panels; and• affordability“Naturally, we won’t be able to

cover all of these topics,” Rowley said, noting that every tour will be different.

James Rowley is welcoming people to an open house at his 92-year-old home, which he and his wife Leanne Koehn call the “Hammond Forever House.” The open house is from 2 to 4 p.m. this Saturday, June 13, and anyone can stop by during that time period.

A well-known fly fishing expert has drowned after a second jet boat crash on the Upper Pitt River in as many days.

Three men and a woman, who left Grant Narrows at the south end of Pitt Lake for a fish-ing trip on Monday about 7:30 a.m., experienced mech-anical trouble on the Upper Pitt River at about 9 a.m.

The six-metre boat drifted down-stream without power, hit a log, took on water and sank. Three adults made it to shore safely, but the fourth drowned.

The Vancouver Sun reports the vic-tim is Ron Hjorth, who worked at Sea-Run Fly Tackle in Coquitlam.

A 2010 case, involving the deaths of two local teens, goes to the Supreme Court.

JENNIFER SALTMANSpecial to The TIMES

A B.C. woman who had a new trial ordered in a dangerous-driving case is scheduled to have her appeal of the decision heard before the Supreme Court of Canada this fall.

Andelina Kristina Hecimovic was found not guilty in 2013 of two counts of dangerous driv-ing causing death in con-nection with a crash in Pitt Meadows that killed 21-year-old John De Oliveira and 19-year-old Rebecca Dyer.

Shortly before midnight on Oct. 19, 2010, De Oliveira was driving with his girlfriend Dyer down Lougheed Highway in Pitt Meadows when a Toyota Paseo skidded sideways over the top of the concrete median, flipped, and smashed into the roof of De Oliveira’s vehicle.

The couple were killed on impact, according to police.

The driver of the Toyota, Hecimovic, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Hecimovic testified at trial that she had been driving to her boyfriend’s home after a diffi-cult nursing shift at Eagle Ridge Hospital when she crashed.

She said she had moved into the right lane because she saw it “open up” – she did not notice that it was a right-turn-only lane or that she was entering an inter-section on a red light because she was upset.

The trial judge concluded that the Crown had not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Hecimovic had the intent to drive danger-ously, and decided that Hecimovic’s driving was not a marked departure from the standard of care a reasonable person would have observed.

The Crown appealed the decision, alleging that the trial judge made a legal

error. The appeal was heard in October 2014 and on Dec. 12, in a 2-1 decision, the B.C. Court of Appeal set aside the acquittal and ordered a new trial.

Because one judge dissented on a point of law, Hecimovic had the right to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. A notice of appeal was filed on Jan. 8.

Both sides have filed the appro-priate documents and a tentative hearing has been scheduled for Nov. 6.

Mounties want to talk to this man about a May incident. ROXANNE [email protected]

A scared little girl helped police put together a drawing of a man who called out and frightened her behind the down-town Maple Ridge McDonald’s restaurant last month.

A com-posite draw-ing was released Tuesday, following the May 19 inci-dent that occurred during the dinner hour.

A group of chil-dren were playing out near the street in the area of Ritchie Avenue, near 228th Street, when a man called out to one of the children at about 6 p.m., explained RCMP Const. Amanda Harnett.

The man in the newer model extended cab pickup called out to just one of the kids, but since she didn’t know him, she fled.

Police emphasize that this man never approached or attempt-ed to grab the child, but the frightened little girl ran to a nearby home, and police were called.

The suspect is described as a South Asian man, 50 to 60 years old, with a grey beard, and wearing a red turban.

“Investigators are hoping someone from the public will recog-nize who this is and will call us with that information,” Harnett said.

“We want to find outwho this man is and find out why he called out to the child,” she added.

Anyone with infor-mation is asked to call the Ridge Meadows RCMP at 604-463-6251.Or, to remain anonym-ous, people can also call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or leave a tip online at www.solvecrime.ca.

Green space was recently sacrificed to make room for more parking at the Ridge Meadows Hospital. It formerly included flowers and a number of mature trees that were planted by the first physicians to work at the hospital.

Trees planted by the first physicians to work at the Maple Ridge hospital are gone.

COLE [email protected]

A “communication breakdown” is cited as the root error that caused Fraser Health to cut down a number of trees with significant sentimental value at the Ridge Meadows Hospital, to make room for more parking.

The trees had been planted by the first physicians to work at the hospital when it initially opened, with the intention of providing patients with some green space.

But Fraser Health, the regional authority which runs the Maple

Ridge hospital, saw a need for bet-ter access to handicap parking.

“There was a plan in place in terms of expanding handicap park-ing,” said Tasleem Juma, a spokes-person with Fraser Health.

“Unfortunately, there was a breakdown in communication with the physicians,” said Juma.

“We didn’t know about the sig-nificant value of those trees before we cut them down,” she added.

Fraser Health has now made a commitment to work with the group of physicians to secure more green space down the road, said Juma.

Linda King, a longtime resident of Maple Ridge, was visiting the hospital late last month when she noticed the trees were gone.

Now she’s wondering why more wasn’t done to save the trees.

“It was a beautiful shady area,” said King. “Now there is nothing out there. It’s a desert of asphalt.”

TIMES VIEW

Senate audit contains few true surprises

An audit of Canadian senators’ expenses, released Tuesday, holds a number of interesting items.

We now know that among other things, senators billed to the public the costs of travel to wedding anniversaries and for the hardship and expense of living in Ottawa while they treated their

“primary residences” in other parts of the country like vacation cottages. Others seem to have billed taxi trips and business travel that had nothing to do with official duties.

There is a sort of prurient interest in exactly where the money has been going. What odd expenses lay buried in the complete report?

And on the other hand, nothing in there will surprise us. If this audit (or the next audit, investigation, or leak) turns up evidence that senators expensed the cost of having a troupe of dancing elephants at their summer jamboree, most Canadians will roll their eyes and shrug.

Very few Canadians have any respect for the Senate. There are some who think it is either too difficult to abolish, given the constitutional hurdles, or who think it could be usefully reformed. But in its current form, it spends a significant amount of money without doing anything of significance.

The Senate is supposed to be the chamber of sober second thought, its appointed lifers allegedly less worried about the rough and tumble election cycle than their compatriots in the House of Commons.

In practice, it’s just as partisan, packed with party backers being rewarded for long service.

In theory, the Senate can introduce its own legislation but very seldom do major new laws begin there.

Whether abolition or reform is the route Canadians want to take, what the ongoing scandals make clear is that the Senate cannot continue the way it is. Every major party needs to make its position clear on how it will deal with the Senate.

It is entirely natural to eat as many fresh strawber-ries as possible – a reac-tion to the current pleth-

ora of delicious fresh straw-berries, soon to be followed by blueberries, raspberries, blackberries… not to mention the wild offerings for those willing to brave the roads less travelled: salmon berries, thimble berries, huckleber-ries, and three more types of blackberries, including the invasive yet persuasively tasty Himalayan blackberries.

Ordinary people are prone to feast on them all until their tummies are fit to burst.

It comes down to where we came from: hunters and gatherers on the steppes of distant continents, foraging for tidbits left over from other, more powerful creatures than ourselves.

When those prehistoric hominids – our ancient forebears (I could never figure out

why they called them “fore-bears” when all of the scien-tific literature agrees that they were apes, and the religious types swear we just popped out of nothingness directly into the current perfection that we are purported to be, according to their literature) – found something good to eat, they ate it, pure and simple.

If they could, moreover, they ate and ate and ate until their forebear tummies hurt. If there was enough food lying about to make their tummies

hurt – whether it was in the form of a freshly slaughtered woolly mammoth or a patch of plump, juicy strawberries – they counted it a good day of hunting and gathering.

Any day in which they could crawl into a corner of the cave and go to sleep without their tummies grumbling loudly enough to wake the sabre tooth tiger in the next cave over was probably consid-

ered a pretty good day of hunting and gathering.

I believe that is what lies at the heart of a phenomenon experienced each year around about this time by local strawberry growers.

These are the days of busy weekends for the U-pick and farm-gate berry sales stands, with droves of hunting and gath-ering hominids venturing forth from the city to forage in the nether regions of the Fraser Valley on their annual quest to keep the sabre tooth tigers at bay.

Actually, the berry season has begun somewhat earlier than usual this year – even earlier than last year’s early start – owing to increasingly earlier springs and a May that was finer than its normal fine-ness.

The berry season will no doubt be fur-ther enhanced by indications that our usual June-uary this year is beginning to look like an early July.

Early or late, without fail, we in the media push the oldest survival button in the human psyche when we trumpet the

arrival of the strawberries with the usual warning: the season is short, so if you don’t get some now, you might not get any!

And each year, hominids are called to action by the old fear that, unless you fill up your tummy while the berries are juicy, delicious, and available, the fuel gauge might read “dead empty” before the next easy feed arrives.

In the midst of today’s plenitude, that kind of behaviour might be mistaken for greed, but really it’s just the old survival instinct resurfacing from that long-buried past filled with ravenous competitors all trying their best to prove they were the fittest.

It’s a perfectly natural reaction for human beings to stock up while stocks last. And if the stocks make it into the tummy before they make it into the pan-try, some may call it decadence or over-indulgence. In fact, it’s just giving in to our true and basic nature. Those beautiful red strawberries just bring out our true colours.

Berries have coloured our existence through history

When word hit that last Saturday’s homeless barbecue, hosted by Social Housing Alliance BC, on Cliff Avenue was cancelled, TIMES readers shared a wide range of views.“On recent travels to Ireland - I was totally impressed by a large group of musicians playing on the local shopping mall with little set up and collecting money for homeless!”

– Eileen Thompson Robinson

“I can see both sides and as I have zero idea what the people who live in the houses behind where this camp must feel. I think the anger is misdirected. if the government had more affordable housing and programs to help the people living in these places everywhere, it might be less of an issue.”

– KMarie Plumridge

“Clean up the drugs and you’ll clean up the homeless. surveillance cams everywhere, recording licence plates.”

– Richard Shupac

“Called off?? What a joke. The numbers of guests have exploded exponentially hour after hour. There is now an overflow camp on the City cleared land south and east on the Haney Bypass. Called off or not, there will a big party on Saturday unless the ‘guests’ are shipped back from where they came. I look forward to next week’s headlines in the News and the Times. That is not worms [in] those cans.”

– Claus Andrup

“Did anyone even read the article? Hmm, you’d think the response would be ‘finally they are going to get the right support in there to help these people and try to clean up the streets.’ This made me proud of the city we live in. And now reading a lot of the ignorant responses I’m not too sure.”

Dear Editor;Regarding the situation of

homeless people across our “great” country of Canada, people need to understand how this all got started.

It was when then Liberal Minister of Finance Paul Martin decided to cancel Canada’s national housing programs.

This was from a man who could cut his son an $88 mil-lion dollar cheque for his share in his business, Montreal Shipping – which he registered off-shore as to avoid paying Canadian taxes.

How sweet it is for the rich,

who have no problems, can-celling Canada’s housing pro-grams, and use off-shore tax havens for their own benefit to build their riches!

This is why we are experien-cing homelessness in Canada.

Our country needs to restore our national housing programs and help those of us who are less fortunate and need afford-able housing.

And, we need to hold this current government account-able in the upcoming fall elec-tion for their failure to restore Canada’s housing strategies.

If they can spend billions

fighting America’s wars overseas, then they can help Canadians with some afford-able housing!

Don’t blame the poor for their struggling or inability to pay the ridiculous rents that are making certain people rich, all the while people who can not afford these rents are being driven onto our streets.

It is time to look at what is really happening, and realize we need to have a national housing strategy for those Canadians who are poor and less fortunate!

John E. McKenzie, Maple Ridge

Martin is really to blame for homelessness

Dear Editor,George Serra, a BCTF member

and part of the [recently failed] recall campaign [for MLA Marc Dalton], should accept with grace the result of the latter’s failure [Dalton recall campaign called off, May 28, TIMES].

Instead of pointing the finger at every conceivable reason why it went nowhere, maybe the major-ity of the residents are quite happy with the way they voted.

Also he should lose the tired refrain about the government giving tax breaks to their corporate spon-sors.

The B.C. Teacher’s pension plan, overseen by the B.C. Investment

Management Corporation, has investments in Enbridge, British American Tobacco, Haliburton, and other corporations associated with environmental destruction, sweat-shop labour, and arms manufactur-ing.

Eighty per cent of pension income is from investments and 20 per cent is from teacher contributions.

The chair of the board of trust-ees stated, “we have to insure our money is invested in a manner that ends in the best financial health of our pension plan.”

It turns out the BCTF depends on those much maligned corporations quite a bit.

Cherryl Katnich, Maple Ridge

Opponent should gaze inward

Dear Editor,Bill C-51 is harm-

ful to our democ-racy in so many ways. We need media to look into the harmful impact it will have on us.

This bill is reck-less and ineffective for several reasons.

One, the surveil-lance and informa-tion sharing on innocent Canadians censors free expres-sion online.

Two, it turns CSIS into a secret police force, without over-sight or account-ability.

More than 70 per cent of Canadians oppose it, yet the government is trying to push it through quickly, despite top senators being investigated.

If it passes, your private information would be handed not only to more than 17 government agencies, but to for-eign governments!

This includes medical and finan-cial information, as well as religious, political, and other beliefs.

Please, let Harper and our local MPs know this is not acceptable.

The government needs to know the people disagree with this hor-rific violation of our freedom of expres-sion.

Historical fun is on tap this weekend at Albion Fairgrounds.TROY [email protected]

There will be Medieval moments aplenty at Albion Fairgrounds this weekend as the BC

Renaissance Festival returns to Maple Ridge.

The festival runs today to Sunday (June 11 to 14) and will feature jousting, sword fighting, musical performances, and theatre in the crowd.

Produced by Christina Carr and Martin Hunger, the vol-unteer-operated production is about making history.

Children can enjoy games of skill and the gypsy camp, while the archery range and three entertainment stages will be set up.

Visitors can also get knighted by the king and queen, play games of strength, and wander through the marketplace for a unique shopping experience.

For adults, The Frog and Fiddle Pub is serving local brews with a stage spotlight-ing pub songs (warning for PG rating on this stage).

Spilling over from last year, this year’s storyline centres around

the drama of England circa 1515 during the reign of King

Henry VIII and his first Queen, Catherine of Aragon. The royal court returns to Steller’s Grove, with the King looking for Lord Norfolk, His Majesty’s delegate to the pirate admiral, Captain

Charity Ann Rackham.

In his stead, they find a dis-gruntled Scottish Lord and lots of intrigue.

Meanwhile, the sheriff and his newest deputy battle it out with

the Jade Dragon pirate crew.Jousting battles will be

performed by members of J.A.W.S (the Jousting Alliance

of Washington State) part-nered with the Hazelnut Grove Clydesdales.

Stage entertainment include kid-friendly visits from Summer the Fairy and the artistry of belly dance from Shimmy for the Soul dance company.

The event runs from 3 to 9 p.m. today (Thursday, June 11) and from 9 a.m.

to 9 p.m. each day from June 12 to 14.

Community spirit was on full display during the 74th annual Pitt Meadows Day, this past Saturday. Families, friends, and people of all ages came out to enjoy a parade, entertainment, and a variety of fun activities.

A ‘wonderful event’ brought out the crowds on Saturday.

ERIC [email protected]

Water fights, a giant barbe-cue, numerous activities, and live entertainment were all part of the package as Pitt Meadows came together once again to celebrate its achievements,

people, and spirit.Pitt Meadows Day 2015 was

“another wonderful commun-ity celebration event,” said Pitt Meadows Day Society pres-ident Rick Higgs.

“Thanks to The Pitt Meadows Day Society directors and members, our enthusias-tic volunteers, our sponsors, the creativity and interest of exhibitors and crafters, the tal-ent of the entertainers, the fire department, our partners with the City, the RCMP, and parks and leisure services staff,”

Higgs added.The day was a “wonderful,

cooperative effort,” and he extended his “appreciation and compliments” to all those who contributed to the day’s suc-cess.

The day was a success from a policing standpoint, as well.

There were no incidents reported, and this year’s Pitt Meadows Day was one of the better ones when it came to people behaving themselves while having fun, said Ridge Meadows RCMP.

Rail commuters will begin tapping in and out on their daily trips.

COLE [email protected]

Passengers on the West Coast Express (WCE) can expect some changes this month, as the com-muter train began switching its ticketing system to TransLink’s new Compass card platform on June 8.

Riders will be able to pick up a Compass card from a WCE rep-resentative at Waterfront Station, or by visiting the West Coast Express office in Vancouver.

The system promises to allow for several ease-of-use improve-ments over the old ticket system,

by offering riders the chance to top up their passes online, set up automatic reloads each month, and transfer their pass to a fam-ily member without incurring any penalty.

But the rollout of the Compass cards hasn’t come without its share of criticism, mostly lev-elled at TransLink for the delay between announcing the system, and actually implementing it.

Changes will be gradual throughout the month of June for commuters, as crews work to replace ticket machines at each WCE station with a Compass machine.

Maple Meadows station was renovated last weekend, while Pitt Meadows is scheduled for June 12 to 14, and Port Haney station on June 19 to 21.

Existing passes will continue to be valid until July 24.

Under the watchful eye of Dr. Dave Rempel, students from the Grade 1 class at Golden Ears Elementary had the chance to get up close and personal with some baby birds, as part of a trip to a Whonnock bird sanctuary last week.

A recent Grade 1 class trip was for the birds.

ERIC [email protected]

The Grade 1 class at Golden Ears Elementary spent some time in a special kind of classroom last Thursday.

They had the chance to visit a bird sanctu-

ary in Whonnock.“It’s a unique

opportunity to see something they can’t otherwise go to,” said teacher Laurie Dwulit, noting the sanctuary is not open to the public.

“They’re actually really in the habitat of the birds and they get to share know-ledge with Dr. [Dave] Rempel,” (who owns and operates the sanc-tuary). Feedback from the kids is always positive, she added.

The old heave ho: Ben Merriman, a Grade 4 student from Blue Mountain Elementary, was about to launch his shotput throw on Thursday during the district track and field meet for Grade 4s and 5s at Maple Ridge Secondary.

Free Fruit: Maple Ridge’s new Langley Farm Market recently opened up their new, long-awaited digs on 207th Street – between Dewdney Trunk Road and Lougheed Highway – this past weekend with grand opening celebration that ran Friday through Tuesday. The festivities and the offer of free cantaloupe and tomatoes drew large crowds to check out the new building.

Twins: Awwww. We gave an appreciative shout out to Paul Auclair, who shared a sweet few pictures of a momma and two baby deer feeding and frolicking in his 232nd Street front yard last Friday at about 8:30 a.m. Thousands of TIMES readers checked it out and commented or shared these pics on Facebook. In the meantime, a different kind of deer, the animatronic kind, also popped up Friday, just a short distance away on Dewdney Trunk Road – in front of St. George’s Anglican Church – swinging its head back and forth in an effort to alert motorists to a garage sale held this past weekend.

MAPLE RIDGE & PITT MEADOWS TIMESA16 Thursday, June 11, 2015 COMMUNITY

Dear Anne,I have four Goji plants that

I started from seed in 2014 (West Coast Seeds).

I transplanted them to soil in the spring. They grow quite well for a while then one or two little branches turn brown and shrivel up. They are watered along with everything else in the garden with an oscillating sprinkler.

They have had lots of lime, but nothing actually meas-ured. Any ideas to keep them healthy?

Jim Ormesher, Tsawassen

Dear Jim,

Goji berries hate wet, soggy soil. They also need to be grown

in a sunny spot, though in Tsawassen, this isn’t likely to be your problem. In this cli-mate they don’t have any pest or disease problems (as far as is known at present).

But the dislike of wet soil could be an issue. They are grown commercially in Tibet, Mongolia and parts of China for the health-giving berries. But apparently they are also planted on the edges of deserts to prevent the desert creeping further in.

Peat moss, compost and manure aren’t recommended for use with them because these amendments hold onto moisture.

When Goji berry plants are first put into the soil, they do need water to get settled-in. But the soil should be very well-drained so that water moves through. Once they put their tap-root down, they’re said to be very drought-resistant.

I suspect the oscillating sprink-ler and the grass clippings are causing root rot problems in your Goji plants. Grass clip-pings hold onto water and your clippings will be especial-ly moist since water is being added via the sprinkler.

I wonder how long you water for and for how many days in the week? It could be that grass clippings aren’t

needed at all.The lime is a very good idea.

The alkalinity Goji plants need is very high, up to 8.6Ph. It might be helpful to find out just how alkaline your soil is

now. Garden cen-tres sell soil tests.

RaspberriesDear Anne,

I have a ques-tion about the ‘new’ Tulameen raspberry canes my brother bought.

He lives in Kamloops.

He’s wondering if he plants the Tulameen canes next to his other raspberry bushes if

they will cross-pollinate. Should he plant the new

canes separately further from his other canes?

Judy, e-mailDear Judy,

Cross-pollination isn’t likely if ‘Tulameen’ is planted close to other

raspberries. Mainly raspberries are self-

fertile although they produce more raspberries if insects pol-linate them as well.

In any case, cross pollination wouldn’t affect the first gen-eration of raspberries because fruit characteristics stem from the parent cane that produced the raspberry.

So regardless what the insects did, every raspberry from the Tulameen canes would be a Tulameen in looks and taste.

Other kinds planted nearby would also be true to their own variety.

But it still might be best to plant Tullameen separately. Tulameen is an early fall fruit-er which should be completely cut down to the ground in late winter.

June-fruiting raspberries usu-ally have old canes cut in fall and new canes retained.

This is unlikely to be a prob-lem at first.

But since raspberry canes sucker far and wide, different kinds planted close together can get thoroughly mixed up which could make pruning and care more complicated.

Saturday’s exhibition game benefiting Crohn’s and Colitis Canada is being organized by a pair of pro hockey players who also happen to be best friends.TROY [email protected]

Ben Payne has much to be thankful for these days.

The 26-year-old Maple Ridge resident is thankful for the Canadian health care

system and the “miracle worker” doctors and staff at Vancouver’s St. Paul’s Hospital.

He’s thankful his pro hockey career is back on track.

Most of all, he’s thankful to be back liv-ing a normal, healthy life after it was derailed by fistulizing Crohn’s, a disease that he was diag-nosed with in August 2013.

“Last year, I’ve felt the best and healthi-est I’ve felt in the last five years,” Payne said, as he promotes the sec-ond annual Crohn’s and Colitis Charity Classic hockey game slated for this Saturday, June 13 at Planet Ice.

Doors open at 7 p.m. and the puck drops at 7:45 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Last year’s event, which raised $5,000 for Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, was put together by Payne and his best friend, Nashville Predators defenceman Victor Bartley, who are hoping to build on its suc-cess.

“With the help of the Crohn’s Foundation’s event coordinator and her team, we have been preparing all year,” Payne said.

To find out more about the hockey game, visit www.golfandhockeyclassic.com. The website includes a donation tab for people who won’t be able to make either event but would like to help out.

“It doesn’t matter the amount, it’s solely up to them [the donors],” Payne said.

This year’s game features minor pro, univer-sity, and junior players, as well as NHLers Bartley and Edmonton Oilers blueliner Brad Hunt. To view the rosters for both teams, click on the “about” tab on the website.

Companies or individuals interest-ed in sponsoring the fundraiser can contact Susan Hampton at [email protected].

Bartley said last year, he and Payne had talked about organizing a charity game of some sort and with his friend suffering from Crohn’s disease, it was a perfect fit.

“I started having people coming up to me tell-ing me stories of their brothers, sister, aunts or someone close to them who had been affected disease and it really hit me how widespread this was,” Bartley added. “We were thrilled with the amount of people who showed up to the game and the support from local businesses was amazing. Everyone was willing to donate some-thing to help and we couldn’t have been more thrilled.”

In October 2013, life-altering surgery, in which roughly nine inches of his small intes-tine was taken out, was a turning point for

Payne, a left winger who starred for the EHC

Zweibrücken Hornets, a Fourth Division German team last year.

Payne led the league in scoring with 26 goals and 51 points to go along with 68 penalty min-utes. Team-wise, the Hornets finished second in their league in the regular season before losing in a best-of-three playoff semifinal series.

“It was kind of a comeback year,” Payne said. Bartley said he’s thrilled to see Payne making

such great strides in his recovery. “His stats from Europe only show a portion

of the strides he’s made from over coming this disease,” Bartley said. “It takes a strong person to battle back from something so severe, and to travel across the world and play professional hockey is nothing short of great. It’s a testament to Ben’s character and his willingness to go after his dream, regardless of the circumstances.”

Flashback to a couple of years ago, and Payne thought his career would come to a premature end.

But the surgery and biweekly injections of the drug HUMIRA have given the Thomas Haney Secondary and Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey Association grad a new lease on his hockey life.

“The surgery made me a new person,” Payne said. “I was in the best shape of my life this season. I did very well personally and the team did very well at the same time, so it was a huge bounce-back year – the best year I’ve had in many years.”

Payne has a two-year contract with Zweibrücken with an opt-out clause. He described the league he played in last sea-son as a “springboard league to gain expos-ure for higher clubs.”

“My agent and I discussed that after a year off with lim-ited pro experience, this was the best

option to begin over in Europe,” he explained.

After his RMMHA days, Payne played jun-ior B hockey with the Grandview Steelers before making the jump to the junior A

level with the B.C. Hockey League’s Williams Lake Timberwolves, Surrey Eagles, Alberni Valley Bulldogs, and Quesnel Millionaires.

Concordia College in Minnesota offered the next step in Payne’s hockey jour-ney.

By the end of his senior year, Payne began suffering severe abdominal pains.

The pain became so debilitating, he felt relieved about his release from Neuilly-sur-Marne of FFHG Division 1, a pro hockey league in France.

After the surgery, Payne took baby steps to get to where he is today.

“I really wasn’t thinking about hockey,” Payne said. “It was a relief just to even move past the issues I’ve had over the last few years and get back to 100 per cent. That was my first goal.”

A human’s intestine is 23-feet long so remov-ing nine inches of it doesn’t sound like a lot, but it was integral to Payne’s well being.

“The part that they removed was essen-tially rotted, so no food could go by,” he said. “Basically it would just fester and resonate in these areas and create an infection.”

This charity game is about helping others who have suffered like Payne has.

“There are people who have numerous amounts of feet removed from their intestine, and it’s horrible,” Payne said.

A support group helps men transition into a new life.JOHN KURUCZSpecial to The TIMES

It took Don Ralph five decades to begin living life for himself.

It was a pivotal decision fraught with emotional and psycho-logical ramifications: he’d been married for almost 30 years, had a child, and went through his entire adult life with an air of apprehension.

Ralph knew he was gay before entering elementary school.

It wasn’t until he turned 50 that he reached out to a sup-port group called Hominum that helped guide him through that transformative process.

“I didn’t want to disappoint anyone. I tried to live my life as a heterosexual,” said Ralph, 62.

“You live with someone for 27 years, and they’re your best friend. You don’t want to hurt them. But as I got older, work stress-es and other stresses got to the point where I felt I had to make some changes in my life. That was a very difficult thing to do when you’ve hidden something for close to 50 years. The biggest battle is with your-self.”

Through Hominum, Ralph met other men facing similar changes in their lives.

The group’s credo states that Hominum is “an informal discus-sion and support group

to help gay, bi-sexual, and questioning men with the challenges of being married, separ-ated, or single.”

While Ralph describes himself a confident person, he concedes attending that first meeting 12 years ago was a “ter-rifying” experience.

Having recently divorced from his wife, he quietly sat through the meeting, listened to the stories, and questioned whether he could return.

“But I did go back. The next meeting was much easier, and after that it just got be very comfortable because of the support you get,” Ralph said.

“The struggle can go on for a long time after you make these deci-sions. As you get to know people, you real-ize that we really are the same in terms of our apprehensions.”

The monthly meet-ings, which typically take place in Langley, are free of religious or political overtones, and negative feedback is also a non-starter.

Sometimes a set con-versation piece shapes the meeting, while in other instances, a group member offers up the challenges he’s facing so that others can lend advice.

The group does not, however, act as a sub-stitute for counselling or dating services.

Meetings typ-ically run from 7:30 to 9 p.m. and men from across Metro Vancouver attend.

“The first thing we say, especially to new people, is that your involvement is at your own level of ease and

comfort — you can contribute or not,” said group coordinator Art Pearson of Maple Ridge.

For Pearson, arriv-ing at Hominum came by way of peer sup-port. His partner of 30 years was married to a woman when they first met, and was looking for support to transi-tion into his new life.

Pearson began attending Hominum meetings at that time to offer both solidarity and support.

Given their collective experience with the group, Pearson and Ralph take on both leadership and facilita-tor roles.

The next meeting is slated for Friday, June 26.

HAYWARD LAKE RESERVOIR LOWER WATER LEVELS

The Hayward Lake reservoir water level is currently being lowered to accommodate annual maintenance on the Ruskin Dam spillway gates. The reservoir is being lowered from an elevation of 41.1 metres to approximately 34.8 metres by June 8, 2015 and will remain at this elevation until June 12, 2015. Normal operating levels will return by June 14, 2015.

Lower than average water levels will expose steep shorelines and slippery slopes along Hayward Beach and the entire reservoir shore. All beaches and the boat launch will be closed and fenced off for public safety. The picnic grounds will remain open and available for public use.

Trails will remain open, however hikers will be unable to complete the Railway/ Reservoir Trail loop due to the closure of both Ruskin Dam and the Floating Bridge at Hairsine Creek.

An environmental management plan has been developed to protect fish and wildlife during the lower water levels.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact BC Hydro at 1 866 647 3334 or [email protected].

If you’ve driven down Old Dewdney Trunk Road, west of Harris Road in Pitt Meadow recently, you’ve likely seen a

new building under construction at Hopcott Premium Meats.

That building is part of Hopcott’s renovation and expansion plans, said Jenn Hopcott-Foxley, oper-ations manager.

“We’ve basically outgrown our space for retail and production,” she explained. “It came down to either open-ing second location, or expanding what we have here.”

The idea behind the renovation is to basic-ally take what has made the business such a local success story, and do it again.

However, plans are also in the works to offer more retail and production space, a “little sit-down deli-style area,” possibly some breakfast items, homemade soups, sandwiches made with local ingredients, and “a good cup of coffee.”

There will also be two smoke-houses instead of one, a nice, big proper commercial kitchen, in-house meals and “ stuff like that.”

While Hopcott-Foxley noted there was talk of opening a second loca-tion somewhere else, expanding the business on the family farm, keeps things local, close to home, and allows everyone involved to

“maintain a good work and life balance.”

Hopcott’s is even keeping the con-struction side of things local, as they have hired Jent’s Construction, a long-time Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows business to do the work.

As for a target completion timeline, Hopcott-Foxley said she is “crossing her fin-gers” for a November opening but things will

definitely be ready to go by the Christmas season.

The expansion will also mean staff will be added to the existing staff of about 25 people.

“We’re excited,” she said.

A small gesture from a Glenwood Elementary student during a district track meet last week made a big impression on her principal.

On June 4, Teela Leduc was competing in the Grade 5 girls 800m during the competition at Maple Ridge Secondary School when she noticed a runner from another school veering off the track.

“I think it was my second lap and there was this girl who kind of came off the track by only a little bit, and I was wondering what she did because I thought you weren’t allowed to go off the track,” Leduc recalled.

Teela said she noticed “liquid” coming from the girl’s mouth.

“I was freaked out and I came up to her and I asked her if she was okay and if she needed anything,” Teela shared. “I don’t know if she heard me because she was in the middle of puking. There wasn’t much that I could do so I con-tinued running and I finished.”

After the race, Teela was going to approach the girl and see how she was doing but decided it was best to leave her alone.

Teela believes she finished “third from last” in the race, adding that if she had a chance

do it over again, she wouldn’t hesitate to help the other girl.

“The reason that I did it was because I thought that she could have been seriously hurt or injured,” Teela said. “I thought something could be seriously wrong.”

Glenwood principal Jovo Bikic said Teela’s concern for a girl she had never met is “more of the example of what we want

the kids to be, to be looking at others and having good sports-manship because then they have a chance to exem-plify what athletics is about.”

Bikic said there are times when athletes

focus too much on the competi-tion and not about the sport.

Teela added that at the half-way point of the race, when she resumed running again, she didn’t care where she placed.

“On my second lap, I thought I’m almost done, it doesn’t mat-ter what place I finish in,” Teela said.

A modest Teela felt what hap-pened wasn’t a big deal.

“She needed my help and I stopped,” she said.

Glenwood Elementary Grade 5 student Teela Leduc was lauded by her principal Jovo Bikic after she stopped to help another runner who wasn’t feeling well, during the girls 800m race which was part of last week’s district track meet for Grade 4s and 5s at Maple Ridge Secondary School.

Maple Ridge’s WLA team made it two straight victories by edging Langley on Tuesday.TROY [email protected]

After stumbling to an 0-3 start to their Western Lacrosse Association season, the Maple Ridge Burrards are back in business.

Tuesday’s 9-7 win over the Langley Thunder at Planet Ice was not only the Burrards’ second consecutive victory, it also marked their first tri-umph of 2015 on their home floor.

Trailing 5-4 going into the second intermission, the Burrards took over in the third period by out-scoring the Thunder 5-2.

Coady Adamson and Ben McIntosh, each with three goals and an assist, led the Burrards offen-sively.

The Burrards’ Tom Johnson with a goal and four assists and Dan Taylor with a goal and three helpers also had strong nights.

Maple Ridge used two goaltenders, with Carson Michaud surrendering five goals on 24 shots and Frank Scigliano getting in the way of 22 of 24 balls thrown his way, in nearly 28 minutes of work.

The Burrards will look to even their record to 3-3 this Sunday when they host the New Westminster Salmonbellies at Planet Ice. Game time is 6:45 p.m.

A Maple Ridge realtor and longtime CFL player is released.

MIKE BEAMISHSpecial to The TIMES

Maple Ridge realtor and BC Lions kicker Paul McCallum has been granted his release by the B.C. Lions, after leav-ing training camp for “personal reasons.”

In March, the Canadian Football League club announced that McCallum would be returning for his 23rd season, his 12th with the Lions, and would be remain an “integral part” of the team.

But that was before 23-year-old Richie Leone unexpectedly became available after being released by the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Lions had hoped to sign Leone, a member of the team’s expanded practice ros-ter last season, after watching him boom kicks in his month-long stint with B.C. in 2014.

Almost half the age of the 45-year-old Paul McCallum, Leone’s powerful leg unnerved the team’s resident punter, Ricky Schmitt, from the moment he set foot on the practice field. Schmitt had good reason to feel threatened. His official release came in November.

And so, with Schmitt’s example as a guide, McCallum was well aware that the Lions were looking for a younger man to replace him, even before he came to training camp this year.

“He’s (Leone) got lots of potential, lots of power,” McCallum told The Vancouver Sun. “I think I can still kick field goals. (But) if they want someone who can do all three, I’ll be out of a job.”

With Leone and Anthony Fera, another 23-year-old, kick-ing the bejesus out of the ball, the Lions feel confident about moving on from the McCallum era. The two young contend-ers had a kick-off at the end of

practice Saturday which further convinced GM Wally Buono it was the right decision.

“You could see the talent,” Buono said. “You saw a little bit of pressure on them today. If they missed, the whole team was going to pay the conse-quences. They came through. It’s just a little step in the right direction.”

Still, Buono is cognizant that the optics look questionable in many eyes, with McCallum portrayed as a disposable com-modity despite this years of service and productivity. His 90.5 per cent success rate on field goal attempts last season was tops in the CFL.

“This (McCallum’s release) had been something we dis-cussed going back three years from today,” Buono explained. “This is not a surprise. Were we disappointed that Richie didn’t sign with us and signed with the NFL? Yes. It compli-cated things.

If Richie and Anthony Fera were on our roster prior to training camp, would we have had this (retirement) discus-sion with Paul? Yes. Paul’s been a great kicker. He’s an instant Hall of Famer. We’re not debating that. What we’re debating is going forward. Do

we need to have one person do all three (field goals, punting and kickoffs)? Yes. Do we need to have a young player take over that role? Yes.”

Said head coach Jeff Tedford: “I think Paul and Wally have been having conversations for a long time. At some point, there needs to be a change of the guard.

Him and Wally had discus-sions a couple of days ago. He opted to be released.”

END ZONE -- Backup quarterback John Beck, who has been battling viral hepa-titis, finally arrived in training camp, six days after it started, but admits he is still too weak to practise.

Beck said he’s lost about 18 pounds because of the ill-ness. “I took a major hit, in that regard, but I’m able to eat normally now,” he said. “I still have medical tests (before he can be cleared to practise) in Vancouver. I just felt, with camp going, I wanted to come up and see things. From an energy level, this is the longest I’ve stood (for a two-hour prac-tice) in the past two weeks.”
