Maple Ridge Museummarks a milestone witha party on Sunday.by Troy [email protected]

The home of history inMaple Ridge is marking ahistoric occasion this week-end.

Maple RidgeMuseum willcelebrate its40th anniver-sary on Sunday,Aug. 10, from11 a.m. to 4p.m. and thepublic is invitedto Jim HadgkissPark (22514 116th Ave.)for a day of family games,food, and fun.

The event includes freeadmission to the museum,numerous live perform-ances, facepainting, foodvendors, as well as a book

launch of Looking Back atMaple Ridge: Volume One[see related story pageA3].

Also at the event will betouchable artifacts acquiredwithin the first few yearsof the museum’s opening,as well as a variety of dis-plays inside.

Museum curator AllisonWhite said the museum,brickyard office building

(located on thesame grounds),and off-sitebuildings storemore than6,000 artifactsand nearly20,000 photos.The museum isliterally “burst-

ing outside of the seams,”White said, noting just fiveper cent of the museum’scollection is on display.

“Our collection andarchive are growing rapid-ly, but our building isn’t,”she said. “We’ve totally

outgrown our space andthat was one of the reasonswhy we are celebratingthis [the 40th anniversary],but also to draw attention

to the fact that we need anew space to showcase allof the things.”

With a covenant on theland that the museum is

located on, it can’t be builtupon any further.

“It has to be somewhereelse,” White said. “It’s anongoing struggle. We really

need a new space.”Maple Ridge Museum

is located at 22520 116thAve., in Maple Ridge –right off the Haney Bypass.

A man in his 40s drowned inAlouette River in Pitt Meadows onB.C. Day, despite the efforts ofnumerous bystanders.

by Roxanne [email protected]

A handwritten “Rest In Peace” note istaped to the railing of the Silver Bridge onHarris Road. Just a few feet away a smallbouquet of lilies, a stuffed penguin, anda pink dragon are tied to the metal struc-ture overlooking the Alouette River wherea man drowned this weekend.

It’s a makeshift memorial paying trib-ute to 44-year-old Jagit Khangura of PortCoquitlam. He was swimming just southeast of Harris Road in Pitt Meadows.Initial reports indicate he was swimming

across the river, south to north, when heran into difficulty, went under the surfaceabout 30 feet from the northern shoreline,and subsequently drowned.

His family was nearby on the shore butunable to assist. Numerous bystandersalso tried to help, but “sadly” to no avail,said Pitt Meadows assistant fire chief RobChatton.

Despite the tragedy, the assistant firechief was particularly impressed with allthe people who came to the family’s aidimmediately.

“So many tried to do what they could,which was just fantastic,” Chatton said.

“We need to recognize the people whohelped out,” he said. “We don’t alwaysget a chance to thank them personally,but when these people step up the waythey did, we want to recognize that.There are good people out there and theydo good things.”• Much more at www.mrtimes.com, search “Chatton”

The former curator of the Maple RidgeMuseum has stories to share about thecommunity’s history.by Troy [email protected]

When Sheila Nickols moved to Maple Ridgewith her late husband Ed in 1957, she knewlittle about the history of her new commun-ity.

But being a history buff, she was a fastlearner.

Ed, who passed away in 1997, was apharmacist, and landed a job at HarknessPharmacy, hence the move.

As years passed, Sheila quickly grew tolove the community she moved to, one thatshe describes as “a pretty small bird” in thelate 1950s and early ’60s.

The only street light intown was found at the cornerof 224th Street and the two-laned (at the time) LougheedHighway.

“That was it,” she said.For eight years spanning

from the mid-1980s to theearly ’90s, Sheila served as the volunteercurator with the Maple Ridge Museum &Archives, while moonlighting as a commun-ity newspaper columnist.

Her “Looking Back” column focused onMaple Ridge’s rich history.

Her second, most recently published work,Looking Back, Volume One, is a collection ofarticles that she wrote from 1987 to 1990.

Most of the material has never been pub-lished anywhere else, so short of leafingthrough old newspapers from the time, ifyou can find them anywhere, they have beenlargely inaccessible.

Reflecting on mid-20th century life inMaple Ridge, the population was roughly11,000 people. The “powers that be in Cityhall” figured the numberwould cap out at 15,000,Sheila added with a laugh.

Today, she still loves thecommunity, which has under-gone some dramatic chan-ges, both cosmetically anddemographically, especiallyafter the Golden Ears Bridgeopened to traffic in 2009.

“It has grown in a healthy way, and thereare far more parks and recreational opportun-ities than there were then,” she said. “And it

still has some of that neigh-bourly feeling.”

She became a local historian“by accident,” she explained.

“I belonged to the universitywomen’s club, and we wereapproaching 1974, whichwas the 100th anniversaryof Maple Ridge,” she said.

“Several people in the club were knowledge-able or interested in history, so it was ‘Oh!Let’s write a book!’”

The authors spent the next year researchingvarious aspects of the community for MapleRidge: A History of Settlement.

Violet Bokstrom wrote about Maple Ridge’sFinnish community and Webster’s Corners inparticular.

Daphne Sleigh, the Maple Ridge Museum’sfirst curator, wrote several chapters of thebook, which was published 1972 and hasbeen in print since.

Sheila tackled the job of editor and didsome research herself. That sparked herinterest in local history.

Years later, in 1987, she approached alocal newspaper editor to seeif he was interested in somearticles about local history.

“I thought people needed toknow more about their com-munity,” she said.

Her column was first pub-lished on a monthly basis, andthat pace accelerated to onceevery two weeks before it

became a weekly piece. At that point, comingup with material that quickly proved to bequite a challenge for Sheila.

As her work began to appear more fre-quently in the newspaper, Sheila became alocal celebrity of sorts. People would recog-nize her, stopping her on the street to sharetheir stories about their memories of MapleRidge.

“People responded very well,” she said.“The old-timers like to hear about the peoplethey recognized and they were very quick tocorrect me if I made a mistake. It’s good, youlearn more that way.”

Looking Back, Volume One will be sold atthe Maple Ridge Museum, starting Aug. 10,which will be a day long public celebrationof the museum’s 40th anniversary, and 30thyear at its present location at 22520 116thAve.

Three performers are touring Western Canada withclassical and operatic pieces as part of the show.

by Ronda [email protected]

They all originated from the prai-ries, but came out west to refine theirmusical talents. Now, Courtney Bridge,Ryan Goetz, and Rayne Beveridge willbe sharing their skills with their home-towns, as well as Beveridge’s commun-ity of Maple Ridge.

“It is eight cities,” Beveridgesaid of the Western Shakedown

Classical Concert Tour. “From Saskatoon to downtownVancouver.”

Having worked together previously, Beveridge is fam-iliar with performing opera with Bridge and is regularlyaccompanied by Goetz. Their shared skills are morecommonplace in downtown Vancouver, but as Beveridgeexplained, the trio wanted to take their music to theirroots.

“I’m originally from Saskatchewan,” Beveridge said.“I’ve been involved with Maple Ridge for the past sevenyears... [we are] taking [our skills] back to our homecommunities instead of keeping them to downtownVancouver.”

The Maple Ridge show will feature classical pieces aswell as operatic scenes.

“It’s exciting this year with myself and Courtney per-forming together,” Beveridge noted. “We’ll actually bedoing two opera duets.”

The mixture of music will also feature piano solos byGoetz, who too, is originally from Saskatchewan. Hiswork has included the Saskatoon Opera, the GreystoneSingers, and more locally, Vancouver’s Arts Umbrella.

Bridge hails from Airdrie, Alberta originally, but sharesher Soprano gifts with the Vancouver community, hav-ing performed as a soloist for the Vancouver SymphonyOrchestra.

The Maple Ridge stop of the Western ShakedownClassical Concert Tour will be at 7 p.m. on Tuesday,Aug. 12 at Westacres at 23575 124th Ave. Tickets are$15 and are available online at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/776490 or at the door.

Also performing at Westacres, and fresh from herappearance at the Montreal International Jazz Festival,will be Jaclyn Guillou and her jazz quintet on ThursdayAug. 14, at 7 p.m.

RCMP superintendent assuresresidents that a pair of isolatedkillings were not gang related.by Roxanne [email protected]

Neither of the murders in MapleRidge last week were random, leav-ing the community’s top cop offer-ing assurances to residents that it’sstill a safe community.

“I think we can take some sol-ace in the fact that both of theseincidents were not random acts ofviolence,” said RCMP Supt. DaveFleugel, referring to the shootingdeath of Trevor Koehler last weekand the stabbing of Stacey RaymondKing in downtown Haney this pastweekend.

“Although tragic outcomes in bothcases, the suspects likely had somespecific motive, as all informationpoints to both being targeted againstthe victims,” Fleugel elaborated.

“I was optimistic that 2014 wouldbe a year where we did not haveany murders and the fact that wehad our first two in the span of aweek was simply an awful coinci-dence but both were totally unrelat-ed to each other,” he said.

Koehler, 33, was shot repeatedlyon the doorstep of his Albion home,in the 10300 block of 240th Street,just before 10 p.m. on July 29.

Despite life-saving efforts by emer-gency crews, he died at hospital.

Likewise, 45-year-old King wasstabbed multipletimes and whilerushed to hospital, healso died a short-timelater of his injuries.That attack occurredin front of the Re-Maxoffices at the cornerof Dewdney TrunkRoad and 223rd Streetjust after midnight onSaturday.

The IntegratedHomicideInvestigation Team(IHIT) is leadingboth cases, and as ofWednesday no arrestswere made.

In both cases, thepolice are askingfor the community’shelp, said IHIT StaffSgt. Jennifer Pound.

“We still urge thosethat have not spokenwith police to call the IHIT tipline[1-877-551-4448],” she said, callingthe proximity in time and locationin both homicides a coincidence.

“Two homicides within a week isobviously very concerning to all ofus,” Fleugel injected.

“It does not get any more seriousthan a murder and these eventsreceive our full attention and now

the attention of IHIT… I think thatwe can take comfort that we haveone of the most competent homicide

units in the worldworking with uson these investiga-tions and I have theutmost confidencethat our only homi-cide cases to date, in2014 will be solved,”said the top cop forMaple Ridge and PittMeadows.

“I have beenadvised that the inci-dents are unrelatedto gang violence, toeach other, and werespecific to the vic-tims,” he elaborated.“There is still a lot ofwork ahead on thesecases, but so far wehave had good com-munity cooperation,but are always look-ing for more infor-mation. These cases

are like a puzzle, and each piece ofinformation, no matter how small orodd it looks in isolation, is import-ant to the overall picture.”

“We continue to enjoy a very safecommunity and these two incidentsshould not take away from the gainswe make and vision of the future,”Fleugel concluded.• More at www.mrtimes.com, search “Fleugel”

Fundraising through food: Pirate Pak Day returns to White Spot next week, and money raised sends kids to camp.

What began as a small event to“get people to check out thecommunity,” has turned intoa growing, annual festival of

sorts.The third annual Osprey Day goes

down this Saturday at Osprey Village inPitt Meadows, and event organizer AnahiEnglish said the event offers somethingfor everyone.

“We really encourage it to be a fun,family event,” she said.

In addition to the businesses in thevillage, [See related story, DevelopingIdeas, page A13] there will be live andlocal music, entertainers, kids games, anall-day barbecue, beer garden, and 12 to15 other vendors on site.

In the past, the event has taken placeover the course of two shorter days, butthis year the decision was made to extendthe hours and condense it into a singleday, said English, who also owns theStomping Grounds Coffee Shop.

The event is a Pitt MeadowsCommunity Association initiative, andis entirely volunteer-run with no specialfunding.

Everyone is welcome to come downand check out the festivities – whether

they live in Osprey Village or not.“Come enjoy the day, sit on the grass

and check out the area,” invited English.Sounds like a good idea to me.

Pirate Pak Day sails back

Calling all buccaneers!On Wednesday, Aug. 13, adults

can feel like kids again when theyenjoy an Adult Pirate Pak at the MapleRidge White Spot.

The restaurant – along with 61 othersthroughout B.C. – is hosting the seventhannual fundraiser that gives $2 from thesale of every Pirate Pak to Zajac Ranchfor Children in Stave Falls.

Zajac is an established B.C. charity thatgives kids and young adults – who arecoping with life-threatening illnesses andchronic disabilities – a memorable sum-mer camp experience from Aug. 18 to 22.

The week of camp along the shores ofthe Stave Lake includes activities thatrange from horseback riding to kayaking.

“Our long-standing partnership withWhite Spot provides a direct benefit tokids in need,” said Zajac founder MelZajac.

“It’s so rewarding to see their faceslight up when they try new camp activ-ities, which are specially tailored to kidswith special needs.”

“Pirate Pak Day is one of our busiestand most exciting days of the year,” saidJohn Jahangiri, manager of Maple RidgeWhite Spot.

“It’s great to see so many kids andadults from the community enjoyingPirate Paks in support of a good cause.”

Last year the White Spot Maple Ridgeserved more than 760 Pirate Paks topatrons – an increase of more than 30 percent from previous years.

Business happenings

Osprey event for everyone

Down to BusinessDown to Businessby Eric Zimmer

In 1799, a French army engin-eer stumbled across a chunk ofdark grey rock in Egypt, usedas part of the foundation of anold building. The engineer wasworking to improve defencesof a fort in the Nile Delta, butone of the chunks of the build-ing was covered in writing – inAncient Egyptian hieroglyphs, inDemotic, and in Ancient Greek.It would be dubbed the RosettaStone, the first key found todeciphering the script that wasused for thousands of years in Egypt.

The modern Rosetta, more than 200 yearslater, is now swinging into orbit around a comet.

Launched by the European Space Agency, theRosetta is a spacecraft that has been silently put-ting itself into position for more than a decade. Ithas spent years at a time locked in stasis, sleep-ing away month after month to conserve energywhile it looped through the Solar System to ren-dezvous with its target.

If all goes well, the Rosetta will soon deploya lander that will make history – the first con-trolled landing on a comet.

The comet is not one of the more famousones in the night sky, no Halley’s Comet orHale-Bopp. It has the inelegant name of 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, a designation numberplus the names of its Soviet discoverers, whospotted it back in the 1960s.

We know remarkably little about comets. Theycome in from the outer edge of the solar system,balls of rock and ice and chemicals, they swingby the sun on wild elliptical orbits, spewing theirbright tails. Then they vanish again, sometimesfor decades, sometimes seemingly forever.

We’ve seen them slam into planets, mostrecently with the massive impact of Shoemaker-Levy 9, which drifted too close to Jupiter, wascaptured by the gas giant’s gravity, and eventu-ally broke up and crashed.

A sizeable comet or asteroid slammed into the

earth about 66 million years ago,smacking into what was then ashallow sea. The 10 kilometerspace rock left a 150 km craterand very, very few dinosaurs.

Studying comets is to study theearly history of the solar system,and to study objects from itsouter reaches.

With the first images beamedback as the Rosetta swung aroundChryumov–Gerasimenko, we arealready finding out how much wedidn’t know.

Early photos and reconstructions of the comet,taken from near earth, showed a short of blobby,four-lobed shape, like a mushed diamond marsh-mallow from a box of Lucky Charms.

In truth, it looks like a mutated potato, withone large lump, a small spur, and a big lobe thatsticks off like the head of a human femur.

We’re going to learn a lot from this mission,and it’s only costing us about a billion dollars.

Don’t worry, you’re not on the hook for any-thing in particular, as this mission was sent upby the Europeans with a little cooperation withNASA. But if Canada had contributed, it wouldbe worth it.

Every time there’s a new space mission, there’sa chorus of voices raised in online commentthreads and letters to the editor: why aren’t wespending this money on Earth, on real problems?

To which the snarky answer is, why do youspend money and time watching movies andsporting events?

Why not donate every extra dollar to charityand live on gruel?

We should support science for the same rea-sons that we support the arts and athletics.Learning for the sake of learning is one of thethings that makes us human.

Rosetta may help us decode the only solarsystem we call home. We don’t know what we’lllearn, and that’s what’s so exciting about beingalive right now.

Our View

Economy can’ttrump safety

Competition drives innovation, ithammers down prices for consumers,and it generates economic growth. Wehear this mantra over and over againfrom business groups and government.

But until something like the MountPolley tailings pond disaster, we caneasily forget the other side of competi-tion – it can drive industries to speedahead without concern for the conse-quences.

We already know the collapse of theretaining wall has caused a local stateof emergency, has deprived nearbytownsfolk of their clean drinking water,and has dumped uncounted tons ofcontaminated sand into one of BritishColumbia’s pristine lakes.

What caused Monday’s breach in theretaining wall?

It remains unknown as of this writ-ing. All we can say for sure is that itwasn’t an obvious cause – no heavyrains, no major quakes, no accidentalcollisions by bulldozers.

Which probably means that we’llhave to look at the way those retain-ing walls around every tailings pondin B.C. are constructed. And there arenumerous ponds and catch basinswhere arsenic, lead, mercury, copper,and other metals and harmful chemicalsused in the mining process.

That will be an expensive propos-ition, but it has to be done, and it can’tbe delayed by excuses, or budgetaryconcerns, or fears that it will causesome kind of “unreasonable” hurdle forthe mining industry.

It’s not unreasonable for BritishColumbians to expect that they’ll beable to turn on their taps and get clean,fresh, potable water. It’s not unreason-able to expect that we’ll have rivers andlakes that can support an ecosystem offish, birds, mammals and forests.

There are places in politics for com-promise, but not for pollution thatendangers our present and our future.

– M.C..

MaYle Ridge

Dear Editor,This is in response to Port Moody’s

Russ Sawdon and his letter to the editortitled [Shame on rude people, Aug. 1,TIMES].

Mr. Sawdon claims that his last few vis-its to the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadowscommunity have been less than favour-able. He stated that people are driving toofast on the Lougheed Highway. Also, heclaims that members of this communitywere unfriendly towards him on a recentcycling trip on one of our dikes.

First of all, the only area wheretraffic seems to move efficientlyon the Lougheed Highway, inMetro Vancouver, is in this com-munity.

I suspect Mr. Sawdon is oneof these people who still goes70km/h in the fast lane andthinks everyone else is the prob-lem.

Secondly, Mr. Sawdon claims thatpeople he encountered on his bike rideon our dikes, were rude and unfriendly.I could not disagree more! I moved heretwo years ago, after living in the Tri-Cities for 30 years.

I have found the total opposite.I take my dog out on these dikes daily

and 90 per cent of the people I encounterare more than friendly.

It seems like sir, you are the one withthe problem, and it’s good to hear youwill be staying on the Tri-City roads andtrails.

Bruce Perrett, Maple Ridge

Dike users might seek silenceDear Editor,

Letter writer Russ Sawdon [Shameon rude people, Aug. 1, TIMES] has toomuch time on his hands.

He makes it his morning’s work toharass people (three times) with goodmornings while bicycling on the dike.

Some people go to the dikes to com-

mune with nature and have a quiet time,not for socializing.

Mr Sawdon is not allowing these peopleto have a “good morning” and imposinghis own brand of rudeness.

Sincerely,Cherryl Katnich, Maple Ridge

You don’t really know usDear Editor,

Re: [Shame on rude people, Aug. 1,TIMES].

Well Russ, by a strange coinci-dence, I happen to know threeof the people you met on the PittMeadows dike that day.

The first we fondly call OldJoe. Last week Joe had to havehis beloved golden lab, Charlie,put down.

Joe wasn’t staring at hisfeet; he was remembering the

space that Charlie always sat when theystopped to rest in the shade.

The second person you encounteredwas Mike, who was told last week thathis job was downsized.

Mike was trying to figure out how totell his family that they now had to makea choice between their mortgage paymentand that long-awaited trip to Disneyland.Their son Jonah is six.

The third, Russ, was Sally.Sally lost her hearing as a child and is

embarrassed by her speech and seldomtalks at all.

I’m sorry if you thought they were rudeto you. I don’t believe it was intentional.

As for the Tri-City speeders on our“Autobahn”, well I don’t know what todo about that. I hope they slow down toenjoy the spectacular scenery or maybestop for a coffee and get to know us.

Russ, after reading your letter, youabsolutely made the right choice to moveto Port Moody and leave this “hell hole”we call home. Best regards.

Former Pitt Meadows mayor Don MacLean

• A dog-kills-dog story from Pitt Meadowslast week, which caused an eruption ofemotion among TIMES readers, took anunexpected turn when tears and hugsended up being exchanged between the previouslyunknown neighbours as both couples came togetherto mourn the passing of their canines.

“Now that is truly an act of forgiveness and love.Humanity at its best.”

– Joe Robinsmith

“I am happy to hear that peace has been made. And myheart goes out to both couples who lost their belovedcompanions.”

– Travis-Magda Romanow

“My heart goes out to both couples. I support rescuingdogs even though I know there is a risk. I have an adopt-ed dog and she is lovely.”

– Catherine O’Brien

“RIP Tucker!! You look so much like our Tiki!! I can’timagine losing her!! All my best to the family! You are inmy prayers and thoughts!”

– Winnie Raine

“While I sympathize with loss of the little dog, I don’tthink the couple understand or know much about dogsto give advice such as asking the other couple to ‘obtaina dog from a reputable breeder that could be broughtup and trained properly from the start.’ Rescue dogs aretrainable and make good pets, no matter what breedthey are. Even a reputable breeder or pet shop dog if notraised well by humans, do turn bad. There is no good orbad dog, just bad owners..”

Education

Direct dollarsto educationDear Editor,

Finance Minister Mike deJong has just announcedthat all children under theage of 13 will receive aday care subsidy of $40 aday if teachers remain onstrike in September.

So, for your averageclass of 24 kids, thiswould amount to $4,800per week for what maybe an explosion of illegalunregulated day cares withunqualified staff, wherekids will be warehousedto ensure maximum prof-itability with little or noconcern for well-being.

This is a disaster in themaking, and some lawyersmust be waiting in thewings – just licking theirchops.

It seems to me this $40per day would be far bet-ter spent as an investmentinto our public educationsystem and that it wouldgo a long way in settlingthe current impasse withthe BCTF.

WEST COAST FORD LINCOLN20370 LOUGHEED HWY. MAPLE RIDGE

1-866-244-1860WWW.WESTCOASTAUTOGROUP.COM

Traffic, it turns out, has a natural flow, and while weneed guidance when approaching a tight corner oran area with cross-traffic, drivers tend to travel at thespeed everyone else does. It’s the old George Carlinline: everyone who drives faster than you is a maniac;everyone who drives slower is an idiot.

Thus, setting speed limits below what people ordinarilytravel makes maniacs of us all. It’s especially frustratingwhen a speed trap crops up in an area where everybodyis travelling faster than the limit every single day – whogets culled from the herd?

For instance, last week there was a speed trap set upunder the Lonsdale overpass, facing Westbound. OnMonday, I followed an unmarked police Tahoe on thesame route, and as I slowed to something approachingthe speed limit, they continued on at a rate that wouldhave fetched a ticket costing several hundred dollars andpoints on your license. Were they driving dangerously?No: it was the speed everybody else was doing. It couldbe argued that it was me, dawdling in the slow lane thatwas causing the hazard by creating a variance in trafficspeeds.

Frustrating? You bet – I may have bitten a chunk out ofmy steering wheel.

Happily, the raised speed limits also reduce somewhatthe further frustration of our 40km/h excessivespeeding law. While the principle is relatively sound– surely anyone travelling that much over the flow oftraffic is at super-maniac status – it makes passing anoutright hassle.

Travelling back from Calgary a while ago, I was stuckbehind a slow-moving RV on a winding part of theTrans-Canada. As the brief passing lane opened up, theRV sped up – they always do, don’t they? Getting aroundhim – if there’d been a sudden speed trap, I might havegot a ticket, but the guy in the minivan behind me mighthave had to walk home. Behind us, the RV again slowedto sub-limit speeds as the bends came up. That extra10km/h cushion would help.

The increase in speedlimits for BC is a stepin the right directionfor most BC motorists

I’d say that if the speed limit was correctly set, ninetypercent of people wouldn’t even think of brushing theirbrake-pedal if they saw an officer with a radar gun onthe side of the road. Too-low limits create an us-and-them cat-and-mouse game with the highway patrol,which shouldn’t be the point. Do we need patrols tocatch those who would double the limit using the roadas their own personal racetrack? Absolutely, but thosefolks are going to be out there breaking the law by fiftyor a hundred kilometres an hour, and they’re going to doit whatever the limit is set at, high or low.

If I’d my druthers, I’d alter every single highway speedsign in BC to read “-ish” as in, “100km/h-ish”. Thespeeding ticket would be outlawed, and there would beno more speed traps.

Ah, but there’s a second part of this plan. Officers of thelaw would receive special training allowing them to issuetickets for being a jackass. For example: 110Km/h upthe wider parts of the Sea-to-Sky at 6 a.m. on a perfectsummer Sunday in a car with good brakes and tires? Notbeing a jackass. Or 100Km/h on the Upper Levels in amonsoon on three bald tires and a donut-spare? Can Isee your license and registration, please?

Using your cell phone while driving would earn youdouble jackass points, and drinking and driving wouldreceive a punishment slightly more strict - like beingfired out of a catapult from the top of Grouse.

Earn enough jackass points, and you’d be required to affixa large paper-mâché donkey to the roof of your Audi. Oh,and I’d bring back the pillory too, and replace ticket-basedrevenue-generation by selling rotten cabbages to throw.It’d be a grand day out – bring the kids!

It’s a lovely thought, but enough of the flights of fancy.The increase in speed limits for BC is a step in the rightdirection for most BC motorists. It’ll create slightly saferroads, let people drive at a reasonable rate of speedwithout feeling like a criminal and allow us to all getwhere we’re going safely. If that isn’t the point of havingrules for the road, I don’t know what is.

today’sdriveYour journey starts here.

This month, the BC government raised speedlimits across the province on rural highways.Most of the changes were a bump of about10km/h, including portions of the Sea-to-Skynow set at 90km/h, and some parts of theCoquihalla now at 120km/h. Immediately,everybody started driving at the speed theywere already driving at anyway.

Despite protests from police groups and someenvironmental groups over the potential

impact on safety and pollution, the change is a welcomeone. The thing is, it’s not really a change in speed on ourroads, it’s just a change of the numbers on those funnylittle signs you see on the side of the road. What? That’show fast we’re supposed to be going? Oops.

Speed limits, as Homer Simpson famously observed,are just a suggestion – like pants. At least that’s theway most North Americans seem to view them, withthe average speed travelled on the road routinelyexceeding the posted limit.

Routinely – that’s the word to focus on. Rather thanthe limit being an absolute ceiling that no-one wouldtrespass over, it’s become the baseline speed whichdrivers seldom drift below. It’s almost a lower limit,rather than an upper one.

Moving the speed limit up, you might imagine, wouldjust cause everyone to drive 10km/h faster than theydid before, but the evidence indicates that simplydoesn’t happen. BC has raised speed limits before,on the Shuswap corridor, and average speeds did notchange one whit. Collisions were actually reduced overthe time period, even though traffic increased.

People tend to drive at a speed that they feelreasonable and prudent for the road conditionsdependent on the time, the weather, and the trafficlevel. The same person will drive more slowly on acrowded rainy afternoon than they will on a brightand sunny morning with nobody else on the road. Ofcourse they would – that just makes sense.

With the recent offering of 12new storefronts at OspreyVillage in Pitt Meadows, 10are now open and adding to

the artistic and creative flair of the village.From tattoo artists and photographers to

flower and fibre artists, this eclectic mix oftalent is contributing to a vibrant riversidevillage.

Rebecca Fisher, the Osprey Village art-ist-in-residence, mentioned that OspreyVillage reminds her of Dundarave Villagein West Vancouver.

Much like Dundarave Village, OspreyVillage is a great place to escape to havelunch or dinner with a friend, enjoy somepersonal pampering, explore a mix of one-of-a-kind specialty stores or just sit by thewater and relax.

When you walk into Rebecca’s studio,for instance, you can’t miss the brightlypainted chair with a bin of yarn and knit-ting needles beside it. There is a sign ontop of the yarn that says, “Please sit &knit.” It’s subtle suggestions like this thatcreate a welcoming environment.

Across the street, Ode to a Bloomowners, Debbie Odin and JoanneLethbridge, are pleased to be back atOsprey Village with their floral boutiqueand are enjoying the creative synergiesamongst the store owners.

The fresh, sweet scent of the flowerswhen you walk into the shop is amazing.The outside is even more amazing withtheir beautiful display of plants, brightlycoloured flowers and unique embellish-ments.

Two commercial opportunities remainat Osprey Village. The lots range from9,000 square feet to approximately 19,000square feet.

The vision for these spaces is for a chap-el and a neighbourhood pub.

This growing riverside location is sur-rounded by new neighbourhoods, adiverse trading area of more than 25,000people within 10 minutes of the village,and also home to the very popular SouthBonson Community Centre.

The Pitt Greenway Trail, which can beentered at Osprey Village, is a populardestination for walkers, runners, and cyc-lists and a major generator of visitors tothe village throughout the year.

If you haven’t had a chance to visitOsprey Village yet, a great opportunity isright around the corner.

Osprey Days is this Saturday, Aug. 9between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.

This is a community-inspired eventfor all ages featuring local vendors, kids’games, a barbecue, and live music by TheGreazy Lizards.

A pair of local softball sistersare competing in two differentnational tournaments.by Eric [email protected]

Call them the dynamic duo.Courtney and Taylor De Adder

are two Maple Ridge siblings atthe top of their game in the sportof fastpitch.

“It’s something you can keepgetting better at,” said 14-year-oldTaylor.

And it’s this attitude that’shelped Taylor and her 16-year-oldsister Courtney contribute to thesuccess of their respective teams.

The pair, who each began theircareer playing with the RidgeMeadows Minor Softball Pride clubaround the age of five, now playfor the White Rock Renegades,with Courtney on the 98 team, andTaylor on the 00 team.

Both teams have made animpact in their respective divisionsthis year, and both are now set tocompete in nationals.

In fact, Taylor and the 00 teamkicked off their tournament yester-day in White Rock and the compe-tition runs until this Sunday, Aug.10.

“We had provincials in Victoria,

and our team won it,” explainedTaylor.

“The top four teams qualify fornationals.”

Going into the nationals, Taylorwas feeling confident.

“I think our team can pull itoff,” she said. “We have a greathitting team, a great fielding team,– not a lot of teams can score runsagainst us.”

Though Courtney and her teamwill also compete at nationals, theroute to the championships was a

little different.“Instead of doing provincials,

we had a national qualifier thatour team got put into and anyteams that wanted to go to nation-als were in that tournament,” sheexplained.

The top three teams from thetournament advanced to nationalsand Courtney’s team nabbed thefirst spot.

Courtney’s team is also com-peting a little further away– Brampton Ont. to be exact, the

week after Taylor.There’s also a certain degree of

familiarity with the competitionthat Courtney believes will work tothe team’s advantage.

“We’ve been there (nationals)once, and we kind of know whatit’s all about,” she said.

“It’s a little more competitivecoming back as an older team, butwe have a really good shot, andknow what it takes to get there,and succeed.”

It will be work before play forCourtney however, as this weekshe is umpiring at Taylor’s tourna-ment too.

Playing in the same league doesresult in an element of following inher sister’s footsteps said Taylor,but Courtney pointed out the pairdon’t get overly compared withone another due to the differentpositions they each play.

“She’s a pitcher, I play secondbase,” said Courtney.

There can be elements of sib-ling competition when it comesto things like whose team goesfurther in tournaments and thingslike that, Taylor noted.

“It depends on the day,”quipped Courtney.

At the end of the day though,both are on the field for the samereason.

“It’s doing something you love,”said Taylor.

Playing in the water is aproud tradition for CarmenEggens and her family.by Eric [email protected]

When your mother, aunt, andsister all participate in waterpolo, it’s a safe bet you likelywill too.

Such is the case for CarmenEggens.

Now based in Montreal alongwith her sister Monika, thePitt Meadows native has beencompeting with the CanadianSenior Women’s national waterpolo team for the past fiveyears.

The pair are also graduates ofthe University of Hawaii, wherethey both played in the NCAAon a scholarship, with Carmengraduating in May and Monikagraduating in December 2013.

This summer has seen themcompete in two separate com-petitions, the first one being atwo-week intercontinental tour-nament in Riverside, California.

It was here that they quali-fied for the world league super-final tournament in China,where they finished in sixthplace.

“It was good,” said Eggensof the tournament. “We’re (theteam is) getting more comfort-able with all the internationalcompetition, and we’re improv-ing,” she added.

Next up for the team is theCanada Cup and Holiday Cupwhich take place in December,but Eggens said her focus iseven further down the road.

“Next summer we’ll be par-ticipating in the Toronto 2015Pan American Games, as wellas the FINA World AquaticChampionships in Kazan,Russia.”

And though these events areboth big deals in themselves,there is an ultimate goal thatremains: A medal finish at the2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

“We missed out qualify-ing for London 2012 – by onegoal,” Carmen recalled. “Sonow we are working towards2016.”

The pair have a little bit oftime in Montreal until othermembers of Team Canada jointhem there and the team getsdown to business and startstraining on Sept. 8.

Carmen and Monika aren’tthe only ones in their familywho have kept busy in thepool, however.

Their mom Cathy, and their

aunt Gerri Willms also grew upin Pitt Meadows playing waterpolo with the Haney Neptunes.

“Our grandparents named theclub,” explained Carmen.

Cathy and Gerri have beenpart of masters swimming foryears and decided to challengethemselves and get back in thewater recently.

The pair have been traininghard throughoutthe yearwith thePacificStormWaterPoloClub aswell asHYACKMastersSwimming,Carmen said.

And thissummer, bothCathy and Gerri com-peted at the FINA worldmasters tournament inMontreal.

“They came in second andearned the silver medal withthe Calgary Splash 50-plusteam,” Carmen noted.

Monika and Carmen willreturn home to Pitt Meadowson Aug. 23 for a two-weekvisit.

The top coat, made of polyurethane, is extremely resistant to knocksand wear, retains its shape, and is completely water resistant. Thismeans that GATORLOC can also be fitted in bathrooms, kitchens,toilets and saunas with no problem at all.

The wear layer is made of PVC. Under this layer there is a printed filmin PVC, onto which the designs are printed.

A solid PVC backing serves as a mould in which the top coats areplaced and is also the connection to the click basis.
