The public has voted against TransLink, and the region’s may-ors should start looking at ways to reform the transit authority’s gov-ernance, says Pitt Meadows Mayor John Becker.
When the Metro Vancouver
board sits again, Becker will make a motion that it prepare a report on alternative governance struc-tures for the delivery of public transit in the region.
The regional transit referendum saw 62 per cent of the region’s vot-ers saying no to a 0.5 per cent pro-vincial sales tax increase to fund transit improvements across the region.
Becker said he has observed the reaction to the referendum result, which was released Thursday.
Interim TransLink CEO Doug Allen is the one person to say the result is not an indictment of TransLink.
“He may be the only per-son the province with that perspective,” said Becker. “The current structure needs to be changed. The funding model needs to be changed.”
On Monday, Pitt Meadows city hall issued a press release regard-
ing Becker’s proposed transit governance re-port.
“What I see from the referendum results is that people want bet-ter transit, but there is a governance problem with TransLink,” Becker said in the release. “The mayors’ plan addresses the transportation needs
of the region going forward, but we need to find new ways of gov-
erning that model in a way that is efficient and serves the needs of transit users.”
What does he see as the gover-nance problem?
“At its heart is the lack of direct accountability,” he answered.
There are 23 members of the Mayor’s Council that operate TransLink, but there are four other boards that handle various aspects of the transit authority, he pointed out.

Forest fires in southwestern B.C. and Washington State have caused air con-ditions that are canceling flights at Pitt Meadows Regional Airport and had the Fraser Health Authority issue a health alert.
Fire smoke hung in the air over Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows early Sunday and Monday, creating a sky that was entirely a haze, with just a pink blot of sun.
Harbour Air’s flight from Pitt Mead-ows Airport to Victoria at 7:30 a.m. on Monday morning had to be cancelled due to limited visibility in the smoky sky. Harbour Air also cancelled other flights in the region.

Temperatures are baking and there’s no rain in the making, but the fish in the South Alouette River are surviving, thanks to the river – just being a river.
The outlet from the Alouette Lake reservoir is maintaining a minimum flow and trees and bushes along the river bank are cooling the water and insulating young salmon from possibly fatal jumps in water temperature.
“We’re definitely checking it here, and it, of course, is warmer than usual,” said Nicole Driedger, interim director of ARMS.
“We’re not sounding alarm bells yet.”
She said two weeks ago, on June 22, the water temperature in the South Alouette River at Allco Park hatchery at the north end of 248th Street was 17 C.
On July 3, the temperature was 21 C. “The fish start stressing at 23 C and they start dying at 25 C.”
Coho and chum fry were re-leased into the river earlier this spring, while the wild coho wait around a year before making a run for the open Pacific Ocean.
“They’re still alive, so obviously, the river is doing its job.”
Driediger said the outflow from Alouette Lake is below the sur-face level, which means the water that’s running out of the dam is
cooler than at the surface. Then, as the water flows down the river, it’s cooled some more thanks to vegetation above, in and around the river.
However, the temperature of water that’s being released could increase as the lake level drops. There’s no snow melt, after a warm and dry winter, to feed into the lake.
“It’s extremely important not to cut down a whole bunch of veg-etation,” said Driedger.
Then water temperatures would climb, she added.
“It is, ecologically, doing well,” Driediger said of the river system.
“We’ll hit the panic button if we don’t get the fall rains, because the fall rains bring the fish back.”
She also referred to a recent meeting by the Alouette monitor-ing committee, which also said river conditions were adequate.
Since 1999, there have been only 35 days when the recorded water temperature for the entire South
Alouette was higher than 21 C.She didn’t know about the con-
ditions of the North Alouette River, which is naturally fed by the watershed instead of the res-ervoir.
It’s a scarier story in the Kanaka Creek system, says Ross Davies, with the Kanaka Education and Environmental Partnership Soci-ety. “We haven’t had a stretch like this ever – that I can remember.
“I can’t stress enough, this is off the charts.
“You get the sense that some-thing has changed, something is wrong.”
He’s lived in Maple Ridge since 1988 and has never seen the 38 C temperatures he saw Sunday.
Davies said that temperatures in Kanaka Creek, upstream of the Bell Irving Hatchery on 256th Street, hit 23 C for a few hours in the afternoon. Then the waterflow from the ground-fed tributaries cooled it down.
“This year, for all intents and purposes, summer started in April and it’s just sort of gone from there.”
The steam flow is about a third of what is usually is, he added.
Juvenile salmon in the stream could see their numbers drop as more die from predation.
But if the fall rains return and stream levels come back to the usual levels, the returning salmon will be able to get up the stream to spawn.
For the next week at least, there’s no change expected in the sunny, hot weather according to Envi-ronment Canada.
Davies said baby salmon are try-ing to get out of the main stem of Kanaka, where daytime temps reach about 20 C, into the smaller tributaries, such as Thornvale Creek, which are spring fed and have cooler water at 17 C. But the smaller streams mean fish are more visible to other creatures looking for a snack.
“They’re really looking for cool-er water so they’re more vulner-able to predators right now.”

River temperture rising during record hot spell
Haze from frontIt was able to offer service in the
afternoon, as air quality improved.Harbour Air executive vice-pres-
ident Randy Wright said sightlines were covered in smoke.
“We need three miles of visibil-ity, and we had a mile and a half on Monday,” he explained. “Safety is our number one priority. We could fly by GPS, but we’re not doing it.”
Wright said a southwest wind blew much of the smoke inland, but a change in wind direction could once again bring smoke into the area.
Tasleen Juma of Fraser Health said the region’s hospitals have seen an increase in the number of patients attending at emergency wards com-
plaining of respiratory issues, likely caused by a combination of high temperatures and heat.
“It’s extremely rare for us to see air quality like this,” said Dr. Lisa Mu, medical health officer, and Fraser Health’s regional lead on air quality.
“It’s a convergence of heat, as well as poor air quality.”
The air quality started as high risk on Monday, but was moderate by the afternoon.
Those at risk include asthmatics, those with heart, lung and other chronic medical conditions, the el-derly and infants.
Mu said people with heart con-ditions can experience difficulty breathing, fatigue, weakness, and swelling in the legs and feet due
to poor air quality. It can bring on heart attacks or even strokes.
Anyone at risk should avoid any strenuous activity altogether, she said.
A healthy person can attempt strenuous activity in moderate risk air, but Mu advises they watch for symptoms such as breathing dif-ficulty or weakness, and postpone the activity if they experience them.
Anyone experiencing wheezing or difficulty breathing is advised to seek medical attention.
The air quality advisory will re-main in place until weather condi-tions change.

There were two fires Sunday, one at Thomas Haney secondary, and another at a house near-by.
The first was at the high school at about 5
a.m., caused by a fault in an electrical motor on the roof. Firefight-ers quickly contained the blaze, and there was damage to just one room in the school.
Summer school was scheduled to start the
next day, and was able to begin at Thomas Haney on Monday morning without interruption.
On Sunday, at ap-proximately noon, fire-fighters were called to a house fire on the 11600 block of 231B Street,
across from the high school.
Flames were shooting through the roof as they arrived, as fire burned through the attic.
The house was gutted, but all occupants were able to get out safely.
An attached garage and the truck inside of it were destroyed.
Again, the cause of the fire was determined to be electrical.

There was a four-car accident at the Pitt River Bridge early on Sunday morning, and occupants of all four vehicles were injured.
Coquitlam RCMP were conducting road checks in the eastbound lane, looking for impaired drivers, just east of the Pitt River Bridge. At approximately 1 a.m., a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed slammed into the back of the line of vehicles that were stopped for the roadblock, causing a chain-reaction accident that involved three other vehicles.
All four drivers suffered “moderate but non-life-threatening injuries,” according to Coquitlam RCMP media relations.
The driver who is alleged to have caused the acci-dent was given a Breathalyzer test, but was found to not have been drinking.
“The driver, obviously, was not paying attention and rear-ended the vehicle. It is possible they fell asleep,” RCMP Cpl. Quentin Frewing told CBC News.
The driver was given a ticket for driving without due care and attention.
RCMP looking for teenPolice are looking for the public’s help in locating
18-year-old Mikayla May Stubitsch.The teen left home a few weeks ago and while po-
lice have some idea where she might be, they want to make sure she’s safe.
Anytime a young person leaves their home, police are concerned, said civilian media spokesman Dan Herbranson.
“We want to make sure they are safe and in good health.”
Stubitsch left home though without a cellphone or access to money. However, she may have met up with a friend and gone to Vancouver Island.
If so, police want the teen to contact her family.She’s described as Caucasian, 5’6” weighing about
120 pounds.• Ridge Meadows RCMP, 604-463-6251.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau came to Van-
couver last week to unveil his environ-mental platform for the Oct. 19 federal election.
Trudeau promised an overhaul of the National Energy Board and a vaguely defined intention to work with provinces to impose a “price” on carbon dioxide emissions across the country.
Trudeau’s media tour took him to the Burnaby facilities of General Fusion, where, like Premier Christy Clark a few weeks before, he stood at his podium before a prototype fusion reactor. This massive octopus of pistons and wires is an attempt to capture the nuclear reac-tion that powers the sun and other stars, containing its fury within steel walls and magnetic fields.
The old joke about controlled fusion is that every 20 years, scientists tell us it’s just 20 years away. If it ever is developed, such a process could quickly put an end to our hand-wringing about fossil fuels, largely replacing them with endless, emission-free energy.
This is the type of technological revolu-tion that Prime Minister Stephen Harp-er’s officials indicated would be needed, after Canada announced a pledge with other G7 leaders to make their econo-mies carbon-free by 2100. That’s right,
some time within the next 85 years.Clark visited General Fusion in May to
announce her new climate action advi-sory panel, which has to give her a plan to take to Paris next December. That’s the next big United Nations climate summit, where Trudeau hopes to lead a delega-tion of premiers to stop the flow of “fossil awards” given to Canada by people in polar bear suits.
Asked about the fusion reactor she had just toured, Clark laughed off the ques-tion, comparing it to the “flux capacitor” used for time travel in the Michael J. Fox movie Back to the Future.
Trudeau recently told university students that we need to change our concepts of time and space, and he didn’t seem to be kidding.
The point here for voters is that all these leaders, Harper, Trudeau, Clark and many others, are talking down to you. You aren’t sophisticated enough to understand this climate business.
The Pope has weighed in, assuring us that carbon trading systems are not going to cut it. This is a rebuke to California, Quebec and the European Union, where effective carbon trading is, like controlled fusion, just around the corner.
Pope Francis warned that our “throw-away culture” views nature “solely as a source of profit and gain” and so people won’t voluntarily do the right thing. (The results of the Metro Vancouver transit plebiscite could be interpreted this way, if you ignore the bumbling, waste and political posturing that really did it in.)
The Pope concludes that there is “an
urgent need” for a “true world political authority” to impose order on the greedy capitalist humans that infest our beautiful planet. Presumably this would be the run by the UN, so my advice is to start hoard-ing candles and cat food now.
B.C.’s frozen carbon tax has ceased to have much effect, with gasoline con-sumption back up over 2008 levels amid the usual volatility of prices. Gasoline is going for around $1.30 a litre, despite the prolonged slump in crude oil prices, and people have basically forgotten about this tax on top of all the other gas taxes.
Perhaps B.C. can brag in Paris about the Pacific Carbon Trust, which limps along after its near-death experience in 2013.
The trust continues to divert tax dol-lars from B.C. government operations to purported carbon-saving activities, including paying coastal First Nations not to log the portions of forests that they demanded be preserved.

Outlook cloudy for climate policies
Yellow grassIngrid RiceNews Views
There should be a lot of yellow lawns in the coming months.
As of Friday, Metro Vancouver is calling to cut lawn watering to one day a week. No power wash-ing driveways or decks for aesthetic purposes, ei-ther.
Watering school yards, sports fields, cemeteries and golf courses should be minimal.
All this because B.C. has basically been having summer since April.
It hardly rained in May or June, and Sunday the temperature reached 38 C in parts of Maple Ridge.
Given the long dry spell, water reserves have tanked recently.
Water use is up almost 20 per cent in the region.So the time to conserve is now.What water we manage to conserve now will
help to avoid shortages in the months ahead.
Stage 3 is next and would mean pools and hot tubs can’t be refilled. Public fountains would have to be turned off. Watering plants with tap water would be prohibited.
Watering your lawn with a hose for hours in the morning would also be a no.
With the normally hot July and August still to come, we can be assured that water will be more in demand.
If that means sacrificing your green lawn for one resembling a wheat field, then so be it.
At least you don’t have to cut it, which also helps conserve energy or improve air quality.
Be a good neighbour.

Editor, The News:Re: Maple Ridge tops No vote (The
News, July 3).It was no surprise to me that the peo-
ple of Maple Ridge voted 3-1 against the proposed transit financing referendum.
They are in tune with the rest of Metro Vancouver when it comes to the manner in which the transit system is managed.
Governance is the key to this issue. I’ll never understand why the politi-
cians of today do not realize they have no business taking our hard earned tax money and using it to spend on a propa-ganda campaign to convince us why we should vote for this financing.
The No side had to do the job on a shoestring budget, none of which was from my tax pocket.
The people who have been manag-ing the transit operations to date have shown a disregard for the concern we all have when it comes to spending our money.
Too much is paid to Ian Jarvis, his tem-porary replacement and all of the others
at the trough of the transit pay cheques. If the leaders are seeking ways to fund
these projects, I would start by suggest-ing a tax of approximately 50 cents per ton of every raw material (coal, sulphur, oil, timber), which passes through the Metro Vancouver region on the railways, CN and CP.
Look to our trading nations to assist us with the transit financing necessary to help them get their raw materials to markets overseas while making our abil-ity to move around in the same region that much more efficient.
Think outside the box. Ask the taxpayer for suggestions and
don’t brush off any good ones. Mike Boileau Maple Ridge
Editor, The News:Just got back after several months out
of country and drove by the vaunted pumping station at Dewdney Trunk Road and Lougheed Highway.
Not only is it the ugliest edifice in the district, the builders made it even uglier by growing what appears to be crab-
grass on the roof. Lucky homeowners in the area will
have the dubious privilege of looking out their windows at this monstrosity in perpetuity.
At this point, it appears that the crab-grass is growing unrestrained.
Exactly how and when will the grass
be trimmed? Perhaps they could put a few goats up
there to keep it down. I’ve got to hand it to the planners, they
can always be counted on for comic re-lief.

Who they likeBruce McWilliam · Re: Education’s future looks bleak (Sidewinder, July 3).Unfortunately the unions donate heavily to elect candidates so quite often we only end up getting who they like, especially considering B.C. schools are often the largest employer in many communities.
Don’t blame unionsBrian Topping · Re: Education’s future looks bleak (Sidewinder, July 3).Oh, don’t blame the unions for your bloody problems. With such low voter turnouts, whoever can organize the most voters to actually bother to get to the polls will win. And the entire problem with public education lies at the feet of the Liberal government, after years of chronic underfunding. Its yearly increases for education and health care are less than the rate of inflation and do not cover basic operating costs (heat, light, supplies), never mind giving the employees wages that keep up with inflation. Meanwhile, it inflates its own salaries and deflects the criticism to other areas. Now, with Bill 11, any school board that protests the behaviour of this government and perhaps dare to submit a real ‘what it would cost to run our schools’ kind of budget will be replaced by Minister peter Fassbender. This government is poison and must be removed.

Council has approved spending $10,000 to hire a public relations com-pany so it can manage communications around the Cliff Avenue home-less camp.
“We need a strategy around the camp,” May-or Nicole Read said at Monday’s meeting dur-ing an update on the Resilience Initiative, for-merly the homelessness task force.
“Is our current com-munications resourcing adequate? I would say it’s not,” she said.
“My opinion is, we do not have enough com-munications capacity, period.”
The money would be used to hire a firm that would create a strategy for the city to follow as it tries to deal with in-formation requests from the public and media via social media, e-mail, the web about the homeless-ness issue.
Currently, Maple Ridge’s communications department has only one employee, corporate communications man-ager Fred Armstrong.
“We think we need a bit of a media strategy. They [the public] wants
open, transparent gov-ernment and they want to know what’s going on,” Read said later.
Part of the solution to the homelessness issue could be in opening a temporary shelter, while another long-term hous-ing project could also be built, both in partner-ship with B.C. Housing.
Those topics were dis-cussed Friday at a meet-ing between the mayor and Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MLA Doug Bing.
“We had a wide-rang-ing discussion about the tent city and homeless-ness issue,” Bing said.
They didn’t get into any specifics about what kind of shelter the city wants, he added.
However, Read said later that the Salvation Army Caring Place shel-ter has only 25 beds. A new temporary shelter, location, yet unknown, could be a place to refer people now at the Cliff Avenue camp.
“We need to relieve the pressure from Cliff Av-enue.”
The size of the shelter would depend on the re-sult of information sur-veys now underway of those living at the camp. Several agencies could operate such a shelter.
“B.C. Housing is will-ing to explore that. We need to identify space,” Read said.
Maple Ridge could also get another facility similar to the Alouette Heights, a 45-unit sup-portive housing complex on Brown Avenue, that opened in 2012.
“There’s definitely some interest on the province’s part to do an-other Alouette Heights, if that’s in the interest of the city, which I think it is,” said Bing.
Alouette Heights is funded by B.C. Housing, with the city donating the land on which it sits.
Bing toured the facil-ity Friday and said he doesn’t recall any time limits on tenancies.
“I’m not sure you could arbitrarily pick a num-ber,” of months that a person would be allowed to stay at the Heights.
Read has criticized Bing earlier for not step-ping up to help the city with the homeless camp that developed on Cliff Avenue this spring.
Bing, though, says he was never formally asked to be involved.
Councillors wanted to ensure whatever gains are made by re-ducing the numbers of unsheltered people on the streets are not lost as more homeless move into the area.
Read said when some-one new comes into the camp, the permanent residents and the street outreach workers would know about it and dis-courage them from lo-cating there. Every tent
in the camp is mapped out with the number and identity of the oc-cupants.
“But we can’t tell someone they can’t be there,” Read said.
The camp started forming in March, then in May grew to about its present size when peo-ple blocked the street and decided they were no longer going to be moved along by bylaws officers, said the mayor.
Ridge Meadows RCMP advised that in order to move people, you have to have a place for them to go, added general manager of community develop-ment and recreation services Kelly Swift.
The current stretch of hot, dry weather is also posing a safety risk to the area. Homeless people are now ventur-ing down the wooded slopes seeking shade and coolness.
But with the woods tinder dry, that’s a safe-ty risk.
“I think the fire risk is huge,” said Coun. Bob Masse. “I don’t think we can allow that.”
To ease the fire risk, tents have been spread out along the street so they’re at least a metre apart.
“Our goal in the lon-ger term is to dismantle the camp,” said Swift.
But that requires af-fordable housing for people to go to, she added.

L o o k i n g B a c kBy Matthew Shields
Fire was a major threat to the wood-framed communities of Port Hammond and Port Haney.
Port Hammond lost several buildings along Ma-ple Crescent in 1916; Port Haney, on River Road in 1932.
House fires were common throughout the urban and rural portions of the district, where almost all homes used wood-burning stoves for heat.
Fires were also frequent in the foothills north and east of town, where logging companies ran heavy machinery, with sparks and flames, in the summer’s dry woods.
An enormous 1931 blaze started at the Brown and Kirkland logging operation based on Pitt Lake, burnt over the northern slope of the Golden Ears mountains and down the valley of Gold Creek, decimating the forest in that area and barring the return of industrial logging to the area around Alouette Lake.
Before 1945, the city had no organized fire protec-tion. Firefighting was a community effort, under-taken by citizens with the equipment at hand.
Port Haney and Hammond voted to construct public water systems only in the late 1920s.
In the 1916 fire in Hammond, labourers at the lumber mill helped witnesses stage a bucket brigade from the nearest water source – the Fraser River.
Telephone calls were placed to Port Coquitlam and New Westminster, which had “pump trucks” capable of maintaining a water line, but neither was able to respond.
The municipality of Point Grey, separate from Vancouver until 1929, did respond – taking three hours to arrive.
Damages from this fire were estimated at $65,000 – equivalent to $1.25 million in improvements to-day.
Pressure to organize the local response to fires came to a head in 1945, after the house of the Bai-ley family on 15th Avenue (236th Street) caught fire while Mrs. Bailey returned a lantern to a neighbour.
Despite the efforts of neighbours, the house burned down, killing two children.
This tragic incident spurred the community to ac-tion.
Spencer Pallot chaired a public meeting, resulting in the foundation of the Haney Volunteer Fire De-partment.
Council voted to allocate $400 towards urgently needed firefighting equipment, and the existing air raid siren was used as a fire warning.
The volunteers would be covered under municipal insurance.
Under first fire chief Jack Stanyer, who was un-paid, volunteers visited other valley centres to study their units and procedures.
Stanyer remained chief at the time of the disas-trous and well-remembered fire at the Maple Ridge High School in 1953.
By this time, renamed the Maple Ridge Volunteer Fire Department, the municipal force was assisted by firefighters in the service of B.C. Forest Products at the Hammond Mill.
Although Stanyer lamented publicly that low wa-ter pressure in the municipal pipes had made the efforts difficult, the response time was reported as only a few minutes.
Population growth has since demanded the con-struction of fire halls in Hammond, Haney, and Whonnock, with a fourth planned for Albion.
The department now includes about 55 full-time paid employees, in addition to about 60 paid-on-call members.
This summer has so far been one of the driest on record.

Becker said he does not want to pre-judge his proposed reports findings, but he would prefer a model that makes elected officials directly responsible.
He says the regional staff should explore a public utility model, similar to the water and liquid waste utilities that are administered by Metro.
“The political decision makers and the tech-nical advisors would be much more closely aligned,” he explained.
“Subjectively, I would say they operate more efficiently,” said Becker.
Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore agrees and says most members of the Mayors Council be-lieve TransLink should be governed by locally elected people. Having Metro run TransLink would be one way to achieve that.
Moore was a key voice in selling the transit plan to voters before the referendum. He said
most voters would agree that the region is grow-ing and needs more transit infrastructure, and most would not take issue with the plan as presented.
They voted no because of their “challenges” with Translink, he said.
He said Becker’s mo-tion is “good process.”
“If we can move water and sewage throughout the region and cooper-ate, we can use a similar model to move people and goods throughout the region,” Becker said.
He expects the motion to stimulate informed debate about alterna-tives.
“But it’s a notice of motion – I may not even get a seconder.”
He added that Trans-Link is “a creature of the province,” and Victoria would have to pass new legislation in order to change the governance.
However, he believes the conversation should start soon, and the may-or’s council should play a leading role.

Maple Ridge council is listening to the YMCA about a partnership
that could see a second indoor pool built in the city.
Steve Butz, CEO of the YMCA of Greater Vancouver, told coun-
cil Monday about partnerships in which municipalities and the organization work out financial arrangements to build aquatic, rec-
reation or community centres.
But it’s important the YMCA be involved from the beginning.
Maple Ridge council
wanted to hear about the possibility of part-nering with the YMCA of Greater Vancouver as it tries to implement the recreation master
plan passed years ago. The plan calls for a sec-ond pool for the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows area once the combined population hits 100,000.
The totals of both cities are not that far away, with about 78,000 people in Maple Ridge and about 18,000 in Pitt Meadows.
The YMCA is already discussing a new facility in Coquitlam, as well as building a second com-plex in Surrey after the opening the Tong Louie Family YMCA facility in 2002. It’s also discuss-ing a second facility in Vancouver.
“We’re working on a lot of projects right now,” Butz said.
No location for a sec-ond pool has been iden-tified in Maple Ridge, but Mayor Nicole Read said most of the growth is happening in the east-ern part of the city.
Council passed a reso-lution telling staff to meet with YMCA man-agers and report back to council.
Council also told staff to work out a financial
framework to show how such facilities would be paid for, over time.
The discussions with the YMCA will take place following council’s recent approval of $5.5 million in renovations to the Maple Ridge Lei-sure Centre. Those are proceeding regardless.
“We need another one,” Read said.
But it’s going to take time, to save for the fa-cility and to examine the finances to see if there are various ways to pay for it.
Sports fields continue to be her top priority for improving recreation in Maple Ridge.
Council recently ap-proved seeking grant funding to create artifi-cial surfaces in Albion Sports Fields.
“I think this council is very clear, we need fields.”
Coun. Craig Speirs wasn’t as enthusiastic as some on council.
“There’s a lot of stuff that we’re seeing and a pool is at the bottom of my list,” he said.
“The biggest challenge for us is the recreation master plan was never funded,” Read added.
“This is what we need to be saving for.”

The new street trees need your help during the heat wave, but if your lawn has gone that crispy brown – forget about it.
The City of Maple Ridge is asking its resi-dents to do two things during the drought that’s descended on to B.C. this long, hot sum-mer.
First, it’s asking peo-ple with young street trees in front of their homes, to give them about 70 litres of water, twice a week.
That can be done by setting a garden hose to a slow trickle and leaving it under the tree for four hours, either before 9 a.m. or after 7 p.m., a couple days a week.
Another way of wa-tering the young trees is by punching holes in a 23-litre pail and leaving it under the tree. Put a ring of bark mulch around to keep in the water.
Another way of wa-
tering trees is to use a deep-root watering at-tachment available in most nurseries.
But that’s all residents have to do for street trees. Piling dirt or bark mulch up the tree trunk will kill the tree. As for any pruning, leave that to the city’s crews.
Maple Ridge’s second request is to only water lawns once a week.
That’s a result of Met-ro Vancouver moving to Stage 2 watering re-strictions on Friday.
People can now only
water their lawns once a week – between 4 a.m. and 9 a.m., Mon-days only for even-numbered addresses and Thursdays only for odd-numbered ad-dress. An hour of wa-ter is enough for most lawns.
More watering is al-lowed for newly plant-ed lawns, but a permit is needed from Maple Ridge city hall.
Watering is still OK for flower and vegeta-ble gardens, planters, shrubs and trees and
garden ponds.But hosing down
driveways just to make it look good or pres-sure-washing a house is banned. That can only be done for heath or safety reasons for preparing a surface for painting.
People can still wash their pickup trucks or SUVs, or boat, as long as they use a spring-loaded shut-off nozzle.
According to the city’s website, one hour of lawn sprinkling uses as much water as 25 toi-let flushes, five loads of laundry and five dishwasher loads, com-bined. The same water-ing restrictions are in force in Pitt Meadows.
“We are seeing re-cord temperatures and there was virtually no rain in June when nor-mally we have rain on about 12 days,” Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore said. “We all have to do our part and conserve water whenever possible, and that now includes only watering lawns once a week.”

The Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association is hoping to strike the right key with visi-tors to Memorial Peace Park this summer.
The DMRBIA has joined up with provincial Piano Teach-ers Federation to launch the inaugural Pianos on the
Street project. The piano will be placed on
the bandstand at Memorial Peace Park from July 8 until September 26 and will be free to use for the public to create music.
The unveiling of the piano will take place July 8 at 7:15 p.m.
Following the event, the DMRBIA will host its movie
in the park night starting at 9:15 p.m.
Families can come and watch The Lego Movie after the official ceremonies are completed.
Ineke Boekhorst, execu-tive director of the DMRBIA, said the theme for the piano is compassion, a designation the city of Maple Ridge is seeking.
“Most importantly we want to be able to bring culture to the streets and make it acces-sible for everyone to enjoy,” said Boekhorst.
The piano was painted by artists of the Ridge Meadows Association for Community Living, under directorship of Ilse Phillips and assistance of artist in residence Robi Smith.

It may be one of the hottest sum-mers on record, but Emerald Pig has The Winter’s Tale on its
mind.This is Emerald Pig’s 10th season
performing in Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge, and this year they chose one of Shakespeare’s lesser known but wildly entertaining pieces ever written.
“It’s a more fantasy-like play,” said director Cathie Young. “It works kind of like a fairy tale.”
The Winter’s Tale was one of the last plays the Bard ever wrote, dat-ing back to 1610. It was not pub-lished until the First Folio of 1623.
The play veers between romance and comedy and peers into the dark world of the jealous King Le-ontes, who condemns his innocent wife, Queen Hermione, to death and abandons his newborn daugh-ter Perita in the wilderness.
But all is not lost. The king finds redemption with the help of the kindly characters named Time, an old shepherd, a young clown a singing rogue, as well as a blessed miracle.
The play runs from July 16 to 18
at Spirit Square, Pitt Meadows and from July 23 to 25 at Memorial Peace Park. All shows begin with entertainment at 7 p.m. before the main performance 8 p.m.
For director Young, the challenge of A Winter’s Tale lies in conveying the message of redemption on the
part of the main character.“Really, it’s about how do we get
back from the really bad things we’ve done,” said Young. “And more importantly, how do we re-ally forgive ourselves.”
Young said this is always a play she had wanted to direct and is ex-
cited for the opportunity to finally bring the characters to life. That she gets to direct the play outdoors in such a community-friendly ven-ue is an added bonus.
“The thing about community theatre is that it’s open to everyone. You have people who have never
done Shakespeare, kids who are new to it and are so excited, and people who have been with Emer-ald Pig for years,” said Young. “But it’s fun in that fact that everyone pulls together.”
She said an example of that is the casting of deaf actor Jonathan Scott, playing the character off Time.
“There’s a beautiful scene where Time is using sign language to deliver his lines while it’s being dubbed over the speakers. It’s won-derful.”
She said the continued success of Emerald Pig comes from its volun-teers behind the scenes. With a cast close to 20 for this year’s produc-tion, the play relies on the count-less people donating their time to building sets and designing cos-tumes. Young said the dedication of everyone involved has an infec-tious spirit.
“It’s really inclusive of the whole community, from kids to seniors and everyone in between. We do it because we love it. We were out here Sunday all day and it was 38 degrees.”
Young said patrons are encour-aged to bring their own lawn chair or blankets. The Friends in Need Food Bank will be taking donations.

Maple Ridge Actor Ben Odberg is headed in the right direction as he pre-pares for the debut of The 39 Steps.
Odberg joins White Rock’s Peninsula Productions, July 8 to July 25 for the classic play that was adapted from the 1915 novel by John Buchan and later adapted into the classic 1935 movie di-rected by Alfred Hitchcock.
Odberg joins fellow actors Cory Haas, Laura Caswell and Ashley O’Connell as they take on 139 different characters in the fast-paced whodunit.
In The 39 Steps, a man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent
who says she’s a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a myste-rious organization called The 39 Steps is hot on the man’s trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-de-fying finale.
Odberg is excited to finally get the chance to perform in the Hitchcock classic, a role he said he has wanted to play for years.
“It’s one of the funniest plays around and getting to take on all these differ-ent characters is a dream come true,” said Odberg, who is performing in his fourth production with Peninsula Pro-ductions.
Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for students and seniors.
• For more information or to pur-chase tickets visit www.peninsula-productions.org.

MADDOXMADDOXFrom his foster parent: “Maddox is such a wonderful soul. He is a well-tempered young man and will put up with a lot, like nail clipping or brushing his tail, which as you know, most cats don’t like. He’s amazing with other cats and is very tolerant of dogs as long as they do not get in his face. I would recommend a home where the children are older and are cat savvy. He is clean and has already learned to scratch on a cardboard scratch box and designated scratching surfaces. I know he would be an amazing companion… and he’s so handsome!”

The Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship is under way at Softball City in Surrey, and Maple Ridge’s softball fans watching national teams will have some locals to cheer for.
Larissa Franklin is an impact player for the senior women’s team, and this week Elizabeth Murphy was selected for the junior team.
She is a pitcher and first baseman for the White Rock Renegades, and was the MVP pitcher at the 2014 nationals.
The juniors play in the Futures Gold division of the Canadian Open Fast-pitch International Championship from July 3-12, before competing at the WBSC XI Junior Women’s World Softball Cham-pionship Aug. 9-15 in Oklahoma City, OK.
Murphy is going into Grade 12 at Maple Ridge secondary. Her goal is to win an NCAA athletic scholarship, and study engineering.
Another local, Rae Samuelson, was chosen an a team alternate.
Franklin finished her distinguished college ca-reer with the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers of
the NCAA as a two-time All-Region honoree and a three-time All-Conference selection. She is an outstanding slap hitter who batted .398 in 213 ca-reer games, while scoring 173 runs and stealing 91 bases. She tied WKU’s record for longest hit streak at 15 games.
And that has carried on this summer.The Canadian Women’s National Team earned a
fourth-place finish at the US World Cup of Soft-ball X (Irvine, California). Franklin hit .524 (11
for 21) to lead the team in batting average, and scored four runs in the seven games.
She earned a spot on the Junior Wom-en’s National Team in 2011, then joined the senior women’s nats in 2013. In 2014, Franklin started nine games for Team Canada at the ISF Women’s World Cham-pionship in Haarlem, Netherlands, fin-ishing second on the team with a .409 batting average.
The Open’s women’s international divi-sion began play Tuesday. Canada took on the NJCAA All-Stars Tuesday afternoon
while national squads from Japan, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico and the Dominican Republic were also in action.
Canada returns to the field today (Wednesday) at 3 p.m., when they face Mexico at Softball City’s Diamond 1. Canada plays at least one game each day until Saturday, when playoff rounds begin. The championship is set for Monday night at 7:30 p.m. at Softball City.
Ridge womenon Team Canada
Both local throwers with Dyna-mo Throws of Maple Ridge med-laled at the national junior cham-pionships in Edmonton over the weekend.
Natasha Akbarizadeh won the women’s hammer throw – her second national title in three years.
Her throw of 57.08 meters ranks her fourth all-time in Can-
ada for junior/under-20 women and earns her a spot on the Cana-dian national team that will com-pete at the Pan American Junior Championships, coming up July 29-31 in Edmonton.
Olivia Moriconi won bronze in the discus with a throw of 44.04 meters
Akbarizadeh had to have that one big throw. She put the first two attempts into the cage, so she had to get her third one in
bounds to move into the finals. She made some minor technical adjustments and she gathered herself and on her third throw went 57.08 m which ended up being the best throw of the day.
“She went in with pressure and expectation and came out on top,” said coach Bradley Graham.
“I’m very proud of her. She’s earned the right to wear the ma-ple leaf and will represent herself, club and country very well.”

The Ridge Meadows Royals appeared to be on the verge of their second tournament title of the season over the weekend in Kamloops, but they could not hang on in the final game and
ended up placing second in the 10-team Kamloops Can-Am Classic.
The midget tournament began on Friday morning against the Calgary Dinos. Seth Injates had
a strong game on both sides of the ball: throwing seven strong innings allowing two runs on four hits and striking out seven, while also driving in three runs.

Delta Jr. Blue Jays. Chris Bailey started and went 4.2 innings while striking out three. Tristan Reed picked
up the win in relief, al-lowing only a hit while fanning three.
On Saturday the Royals entered the
day knowing that they needed two wins in order to have a chance at qualifying for the semi-finals. The bats
came out hot as they mercied the Aldergrove Dodgers 10-0 in six innings. Trevor Big-gin dominated on the
mound for the Royals, allowing only two hits while striking out five.
The Royals’ fourth and final round-robin game saw them beat the Spruce Grove White Sox 5-4 in 10 innings. Injates drove in Domenic Baptista in the 10th to secure the walk-off win and a place in the semi-finals. Trevor Reed threw 7.2 innings allowing four runs while striking out six.
In Sunday morning’s semi-final the Roy-als shut out the White Rock Jr. Tritons 6-0. Bailey, in his second start of the tournament, was lights-out on the mound, throwing a complete game shutout while fanning seven.
Brayden Slaughter led the way offensively, going 3-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI. Kyron Smith also had a strong game, go-ing 1-3 with two runs scored and a stolen base.
The championship was a rematch with Spruce Grove. Much like the day before, this game was a barn-burner that came right down to the final pitch between two solid teams. The Royals jumped out to an early lead and held a 4-0 advantage after four innings. Spruce Grove, much as the Royals had done the night before, fought back and tied the game 4-4 after five innings.
The Royals jumped back ahead and held a 5-4 lead going to the bottom of the seventh. However, the Royals could not hold on despite being a strike away from vic-tory, as the White Sox scored two runs to win by a final of 6-5.
Smith had a solid day at the plate, hitting a double and a triple with an RBI and a run scored.
The Royals will return to league play this week, with five games on the schedule.
Their magic number to clinch the regular season title is one, and they will have their first chance to secure their third pennant in five seasons with a win against Tri-City on Wednesday. The game is at 7 p.m. at Ham-mond Stadium.
Royals can clinch league pennant at Hammond Stadium Sports

Lorraine Anne Steeves (nee Lougheed)
1934 - 2015
Lorraine was born in Vancouver B.C. to Norman Lougheed and Bea Lougheed (nee Welpton).She graduated the Vancouver School of Art in 1951 and had a lifelong love of calligraphy and china painting.In 1952 Lorraine married an American naval airman and moved to L.A., California. She gave birth to a son who died tragically of SIDS at two months old. After trouble conceiving again, they adopted a baby girl, Chriss, who is now 55 and living in California.In 1976, Lorraine and her mother came to B.C. for an aunt and uncle’s 50th wedding anniversary. She called an old Vancouver childhood boyfriend, Dave, just to say hello. They met, and feelings blossomed anew.A long distance romance ensued, with many visits back and forth, letters, and hours and hours spent on the telephone. They were married in 1980.Dave and Lorraine enjoyed many years of camping, canoeing, back-roading, and traveling to every end-of-the-road place in B.C.But in the last few years, Lorraine’s bad back and declining health slowed these activities, although the enjoyment of just being together endured to the end. Lorraine leaves behind husband Dave in Pitt Meadows, BC; daughter Chriss in California, and granddaughter Kerstin, also in California; step-daughter Judy in Delta, BC.The family is planning for a Celebration of Life sometime in August.
