Ruskin dam
refit going

Minister Rich Coleman now
confident $800-million
project can pay for itself
by Tom Fletcher
Black Press
B.C. Hydro is proceeding with its
$800 million refit of the Ruskin Dam
in the Fraser Valley, and beginning
formal environmental review of a
new design for the Site C dam in B.C.’s
northeast.
The estimated price tag for Site C
has jumped from $6.6 billion to $7.9
billion, for the third dam on the Peace
River and likely the last big hydro dam
to be built in the province. B.C. Hydro
updated a 30-year-old design for Site
C to increase its output by 20 per cent
to supply 450,000 homes a year.
The e 880-year-old Ruskin Dam is slat-
ed for a an major reconstruction to im-

and will leave the district with
an extra $146,000 in funding.
“There was a lot of opposition
[to the property loss charges],”
said Jefferson. “But this was a
quick response by the Ministry.”
The extra funds mean the dis-
trict will likely finish the 2010/11
school year with a larger than
expected surplus, said Jefferson.
The district is currently grap-
pling with a $2.2 million short-
fall for the 2011/12 school year,
though.

tudents stop and stare as
Mini Man walks through
the corridors of Thomas
Haney secondary. A
white stripe runs the
length of his face down to his pink
nose, brown fur coating the rest of
his body with the exception of a
touch of white by each hoof. Mini
Man looks straight ahead, attempt-
ing to ignore the crowds gathered
around him, the hands that reach
out to touch him as he makes his
way through the school.
Before class, he is asked to visit
the office for a meet-and-greet along
with photos that acknowledge the
celebrity status that precedes him.
Then it is off to work.
Mini Man is led to the rotunda on
the ground floor, where 21 students
have gathered for a hands-on clinic
with the Thomas Haney Equestrian
Academy.
From a long line of breeding and at
a standard 35 inches high, Mini Man,
a 14-year-old miniature horse, will
help his owner, Kay Veinotte dem-
onstrate how to drive a horse from
a buggy.
Mini Man needs information all
the time about where he is going,
Veinotte explains to the class.
“We use a lot of voice commands,
probably more than riding,” says
Veinotte, a Level 1 Equine Canada
driving coach.
“Because you can’t just pet your
horse like when you are sitting on
them. They have to learn to listen.”
To start, she gets one student to
hold a bridle over their head and a
second student to take the reins at
the back to demonstrate.
“Hold on to the reins with one or
two pounds of pressure so that the
animal feels like your are holding on
to them,” explains Veinotte. “If you
let go of the reins, they think they
are free.”
It is not about pulling the reins in
the direction you want to go, rather,
giving one or the other a half an inch
of slack. To go to the left, give a little
with the right hand and to go to the
right, the opposite.
“If they are trained well enough,
you shouldn’t have to pull on the
reins,” she says.
A whip is also used for direction,
but not by striking the horse.
“There is a lot of history with driv-
ing and the proper way of doing
things,” explains Veinotte.
For example, a whip must always
be held in the right hand – this rule
comes from England – so that pas-
sengers can get on and off on the left
side of the carriage.
The whip is laid gently on the side
of the horse’s leg to tell it to go left
Laura Anderson, a Grade 9 student at Pitt Meadows secondary, is instructed by Kay Veinotte, a Level 1 Equine Canada
driving coach, on how to give Mini Man directions.

or right.
After 15 minutes of practicing on
one another, the students are ready
to practice on Mini Man. One at a
time they take the reins and walk
the horse around the rotunda. At
first, the students walk the horse in
a circle. While trying to get the pres-
sure correct on the reins, they also
learn to be vocal. Words like “back,”
“whoa,” “walk” and “trot” are used
to give instructions to Mini Man.
Small cones are set on the ground in
a line for the students to zigzag him
around.
Finally, after two hours, the cart is
hooked up to Mini Man and the driv-
ing demonstration wraps up.
Veinotte is one of many guest
teachers at the academy since its
inception in 2008. Students have also
learned about equine law from David
Thompson, a lawyer with the Valley
Law Group, and about riding from
Chelan Kozak, a Canadian Eventing
Team Olympian. Gerard Laverty, a
master journeyman farrier, talked
to them about equine hoof care.
Academy director Shelley Evans,
a Level 1 Equine Canada coach with
a masters degree in education and
25 years secondary school teaching
experience, smiles as she watches
the girls gather around Mini Man for
their lesson.
“I don’t know why they are all
girls,” says Evans. “We are definitely
not a girls-only program. They just
happen to be [girls] this year. They
are just more involved in grass roots
programs.”
The academy was founded by Ev-

ans and can be completed on cam-
pus or online, no horse required.
“We did not want this to be an
elitist program for only those with
horses,” says Evans. “They just need
a passion for horses.”
She has online students from as
far away as Prince George, Vernon,
Surrey and Chilliwack. The campus
class is made up mostly of students
from the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows
school district.
“It’s nice that they get together
with friends from other schools as
part of their academic program,”
adds Evans.
The students enter the three-year
program in Grade 10 and, if success-
fully completed, will earn 16 gradua-
tion credits.
Students learn everything they
dentistry, bandaging and breed ge-
netics, to name a few of the topics
covered in the three-year program.
Amanda Ellis, a Westview second-
ary Grade 12 student, is finishing
up her final year. She says learning
about the physiology of horses and
how to treat different diseases and
illnesses was one of the highlights
of the program because of the prac-
ticality of the lessons. She is able to
apply what she knows now to Leo,
the 11-year-old dark brown thor-
oughbred and former racehorse,
that she rides. The classes dealing
with stable management and the dif-
ferent ways to run a barn were also
useful, she said.
Ellis eventually wants to run her
own stables.
Emma Cook-Doyle, a Grade 11 stu-
dent from St. Thomas More second-
ary in Burnaby, says that horses are
a big part of her life and loves that
she can get school credit for some-
thing she enjoys.
“It is every person’s dream.”
Doyle jumps a 13-year-old chestnut
coloured Dutch Warm Blood named
Howie. Even so, she primarily enjoys
the discipline Hunters – judged on
the horses movement and manners
– because she feels it is more natural
and likes the fact that it is judged on
style over speed.
Recently, Doyle found a practi-
cal application for lessons learned
at school. “I liked the presentation
on poultice, when you have to pack
the horses foot up so that it doesn’t
get infected. My horse stepped on a
nail two weeks ago and it came in
handy.”
Grade 10 Thomas Haney second-
ary student Sydney Hallmark, a
first-year student to the course, rides
two horses, a thoroughbred named
Striker and a paint horse named
Lacey. So far this year she has en-
joyed learning about the inside parts
of a horse, about the tendons and
ligaments.
“It helps to identify unsoundness.
To see if the horses are hurt and
where it is coming from,” she says.
At the end of the day, Mini Man
is unhitched from the cart and
marched through the school again,
back to Veinotte’s trailer. But before
walking back, Veinotte allows the
students one last pet goodbye. As
Evans watches the barrage of arms
reaching to stroke Mini Man, she
stresses the importance of the day’s
lesson. The driving clinic introduces
students to one of the oldest eques-
trian disciplines, says Evans.
“It wasn’t that long ago that in-
stead of getting a learner’s licence
for a car, they had to learn how to
ride a horse.”

Car Care with
Cyril Barry
AUTO AIR CONDITIONING
Brrrrrrrrrr... That is the feeling you want
when you turn on your Air Conditioning
(A/C) full blast on a hot day. Are you
confused about A/C repairs? If so, you are
not alone, so sit back and I will try to explain
it to you.
Auto A/C in its simplest form is a closed, high
pressure system that contains a refrigerant
that cycles through a group of many parts
found under the hood and inside the
passenger compartment. A/C does not cool
the air. Rather, it extracts heat from the air
inside the vehicle into the refrigerant, which
is then pumped to a large radiator-looking
component (A/C condenser) located in front
of the coolant radiator. The A/C system moves
the heat from inside the car, outside to the
condenser where the air blowing through
the condenser removes the heat from the
refrigerant. From here the refrigerant is then
pumped by the A/C compressor into the car
to remove more heat. The engine coolant
system is designed to remove heat from the
radiator in exactly the same way as the A/C
system does through the condenser. Both
systems depend on each other. Therefore, if
your coolant system is not working at peak
efficiency, your A/C system can not perform
at its best either.
Most A/C system failures are due to a
refrigerant leak somewhere in the system.
This results in a low charge (amount of
refrigerant under pressure), and you lose
the amount of cold air coming out of the
vent. Auto A/C is a high pressure, closed
system. A perfect example of this type of
system is a tire. When a tire loses air (its
charge), do you keep adding air or do you
fix the leak and then add air? The A/C is
the same. To fix the system you do not top
it up, as some would have you believe, as it
will leak out and you end up with the same
problem. A proper repair procedure involves
finding and repairing the leak(s) before
recharging the system with refrigerant
(R134a). This procedure is referred to as an
A/C Performance Test.
The majority of cost involved in an
A/C repair is in repairing the leaks or a
compressor failure. So the most important
part of the job is the System Performance
Test which determines what the problem is
first, before you proceed with the repairs.
A/C repairs can be expensive if the system
is not maintained properly. Yes you need
your A/C system to be serviced at the start
of every third season (hot weather). This
ensures you won’t have huge repair bills.
Warning: there are many do-it-yourself A/C
repair kits on the market. Do not use these
kits. They’re a waste of time and money.
Most of these kits have sealer’s in them that
can cause thousands of dollars of damage to
your A/C system. The companies selling these
kits should be ashamed of themselves in my
opinion, based on 35 years of experience!

Local Liberals start rebuilding process
Not waiting for
new party leader
by Phi l M elnyc h u k
staff reporter
Despite earning even
fewer votes in the May
2 vote than the 2008
election, local Liberals
say they’re reloading
and will be stronger
next time.
The federal riding as-
sociation has already
started rebuilding, after
earning only five per
cent of the vote in Pitt
Meadows-Maple Ridge-
Mission. People are
mad after taking such a
drubbing, winning only
34 seats in the House of
Commons, and riding
president Brian Rice
wants to take advan-
tage of that.
“It’s a huge change.
The number of people
coming out of the wood-
work and expressing
frustration and anger
not only with the na-
tional results, but with
the local results, has
been overwhelming.”
Conservative Randy
Kamp won a fourth
election, increasing
the number of votes he
earned, while the NDP
also made gains, over
the 2008 results.
In 2008, the Liber-
als had sunk to fourth
place, behind even the
Green party, earning
only 3,394 votes.
‘But we won’t know until the end of the year’
Budget from front
Trustees are consider-
ing a wide array of cuts
to balance next year’s
budget, which they will
vote on at the end of
June.
Jefferson said the extra
funding could help lessen
the extent of those cuts.
“But we won’t know
until the end of the year,”
he said.

Nationally, the party
raised more money this
election than the past
three campaigns com-
bined, while locally, the
campaign spent about
$11,000, Rice said.
What hurt, though,
was the lack of boots on
the ground in the local
campaign.

Poached salmon
A
boriginal fisheries on the lower Fraser
River are out of control, according to
evidence submitted by the Department
of Fisheries and Oceans to the Cohen Commis-
sion regarding the decline of Fraser sockeye.
DFO investigators estimate 97 per cent of
lower Fraser sockeye harvested under aborigi-
nal food fisheries are sold, which is not its in-
tent.
Much is going into cold storage, for later sale,
it is suspected.
This comes as no surprise, as commercial
fishermen have been complaining about, and
protesting, widespread native poaching and il-
legal sale of salmon for years, when commer-
cial fisheries and others were shut down.
Anyone wanting to buy fresh, poached salm-
on seems to be able to buy it, and no one just
looking for dinner much minds.
But commercial fishermen care.
The federal Cohen Commission cares.
While sockeye returned in near record num-
bers last summer, a similar run is not expected
this year.
Other reasons have been provided to explain
the sockeye decline, as well, like sharks, and
habitat destruction, climate change. Many
people fish illegally, not just First Nations.
But DFO investigators are right – the First
Nations fishery on the Lower Fraser River is
largely out of control – it is part of the prob-
lem, and should be considered and controlled
like a commercial fishery. If aboriginals can’t
respect their own fishery, why should they
profit over other fishermen?
A DFO assessment called for more effort to
identify and charge retail buyers in the Lower
Mainland, and more resources are needed to

Award for youth centre
The District of Maple Ridge has won a provincial
facility excellence award from the B.C. Recreation
and Parks Association for the Greg Moore Youth
Recreation Centre.
The youth centre supports a wide range of ac-
tivities and events for the community and fosters
an environment in which community organiza-
tions work as a team to provide services that meet
the needs of its youth. It features a large, open ac-
tive area with a rock climbing wall, multi-purpose
room, teaching kitchen/concession area, commu-
nity meeting space, computer lab, and more.

Their inexperience often puts
them the most at risk and leaves
them vulnerable to excessive
encouragement from others
that can create a whole host of
potential problems, from sexual
abuse to alcohol poisoning.
The first part of deciding how
to handle this impending chal-
lenge as a parent is to have a
very frank discussion with your

and expectations. If your child

to strategize about alternative
plans that can take away the

The facility’s “Community Team Approach” of
bringing together youth groups and organizations,
community service providers working in the area
of prevention and district staff, has strengthened
the recreation program through both the ability of
workers to refer youth to services and for partners
to refer them to recreation opportunities.
“It is a testament to the forethought that went
into the Greg Moore Youth Recreation Centre that
it has withstood the test of time and is still consid-
ered state of the art after 10 years of operation,”
said Suzanne Allard Strutt, BCRPA chief executive
officer.
“The centre serves as an example of how exten-

the ‘bad guy’ that my kids could
use as an excuse to avoid peer
pressure – never.
I also never had any fear of
hosting parties where it was
clear from the beginning that
no alcohol, no drugs and plenty
of adult supervision would take
place. Many kids preferred
that kind of party because it
was safe and controlled. There

Planting tasty tomatoes with Erwin
T
he simple act of planting a tomato is
something that many of us take for
granted.
We just assume that if we are
willing to put it in the ground, that it
somehow owes us a bountiful crop.
Sadly enough, there are a lot of
disappointed people out there, and
if you have ever used those pasty,
bland, juice-abandoned tomatoes
that the supermarkets are so fond of
selling, you know exactly what I’m
talking about.
So I’d like to introduce you to
someone who takes his tomato
growing seriously, to the tune of
about 200 pounds a year – all of
Gardening
which is either dried, made into Mike Lascelle
sauce or eaten fresh by Erwin
Gygli and his family, who live in Pitt
Meadows.
Erwin is a grower by profession and his
business, Heimat Farm, specializes in herbs,
edible crops and exotic plants sold to garden
centres and direct to public at the Trout Lake
Farmer’s Market in Vancouver.
His appreciation of gardening and of
edibles, in particular, comes in part from his
love of cooking, because sooner or later you
realize that it’s the fresh ingredients that
make the meal.
As a result, he and his wife Sharon have
an extensive kitchen garden, chock full of
seasonal produce, and Erwin has graciously
agreed to share a few of his tomato-growing
secrets with us.
• Soil preparation: Erwin believes that
if you want good tasting tomatoes, you are
going to have to take some time preparing
the soil. Tomatoes are heavy feeders and
they need good drainage, so he recommends
raised planters and adding liberal amounts
of compost (he prefers leaf mould), as well as
dolomite lime, bone and blood meal (follow
the label rate) to the soil. The dolomite lime
raises the pH and provides calcium, prevent-
ing blossom end rot (a common deficiency
problem).
• Types of tomatoes: tomatoes come in
two basic growth forms: determinate and in-
determinate – or to put it in layman’s terms,
bush and vining. Erwin keeps vining types to
a single stem, which he stakes high, as these
plants continue producing right up until the
frosts – the suckers should also be removed.
For determinate types he prefers young
plants with two strong branches diverging
from a single stem. He plants these to just
below the fork. You can use a tomato cage to

support bush types, and Erwin only allows
about seven fruit trusses to develop, pinching
out the rest. This increases the size and qual-
ity of the tomatoes.
• Planting tomatoes: tomatoes
are heat-loving plants and most
people plant them outdoors too
early – so Erwin recommends the
Victoria Day May long-weekend
as a good rule of thumb. Because
tomatoes are capable of developing
roots anywhere along the stem,
they should be planted deeply,
at least up to the first set of true
leaves.
For really leggy plants, Erwin
simply strips off the lower leaves
(he uses these as a mulch to repel
carrot rust fly) and plants it side-
ways in a trench, carefully staking
the crown upright. The resulting roots draw
more nutrients and make the plant less sus-
ceptible to drought.
•Watering: Erwin uses slightly warm water
when the plants are first transplanted, as
this encourages root growth. He makes sure
never to water the plants in the evening and
keeps the foliage dry.
His tomatoes are grown in a south-facing
lean-to to repel rain so that when late blight
(an airborne fungal disease that germinates
on wet foliage) arrives in late summer, he
doesn’t have to worry about it – so he recom-
mends some sort of cover by August.

•Personal favourites: for slicing and
salads, Erwin prefers the rich flavour of (Clockwise) Erwin Gygli and his covered tomato

yellow varieties). He rates ‘Sungold’ as the off the lower leaves; Step 2 – lay horizontally in a

skewers or pan-roasting and adding to fresh
pasta. For all-around use and convenience he
also recommends ‘Patio’, which works well in
containers.
• Erwin’s basic soup and sauce recipe
(this basic recipe can be modified with any
number of herbs or fresh vegetables):
Dry roast half a Spanish onion with three
garlic cloves and then chop fine, add these to
three pounds of blanched/peeled tomatoes
(try ‘Roma’, ‘Striped Roman’ or ‘Brandywine’)
and bake uncovered for 1.5 hours at 375 F.
Once cooled, the sauce can be ladled into
Ziplock bags and laid on a cookie sheet to be
frozen, after which they stack like bricks.

Burrards face Thunder in home opener

Young guns look to
make difference
this season
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter
The Maple Ridge Bur-
rards are back in action
this Sunday as they kick off
their 2011 Western La-
crosse Associa-
tion season
against the
Langley
Thunder at
Planet Ice
in Maple
Ridge.
Coach Daren Fridge says
he hopes his team can build
on the strides they took last
season, as the team made
their first postseason ap-
pearance since 2005.
“We have a talented bunch
of young offensive players,
so there’s an opportunity
for us to improve,” he said.
With Curtis Dickson, Joel
Dalgarno, Jarrett Davis,
and Aaron Pascas compli-
menting Burrards veterans
like Pete Tellis, Randy Daly
and Derek Lowe, Fridge
sees much reason to be op-
timistic.
“Four years ago we had
to hope for the planets to
align to beat some of the
bigger teams,” said Fridge.
“Not anymore. We have a
chance
to win
every
night.”
T h e
Burrards
exo r c i s e d
a number of demons
last season. The team man-
aged to beat every one of
its WLA rivals at least once
in the regular season, be-
fore advancing to the play-
offs for the first time since
2005, where they handed
the New Westminster Sal-
monbellies their only WLA
playoff loss.
While Fridge said he
wants to give the home
town fans a win Sunday,
he added that he is putting
less emphasis on a strong
start to this season.
“Having a positive start
to the season is great, but
we are trying to break it
down period by period,”
he said. “We want to make
sure we playing the way
we need to play.”
After a rocky start to the
season last year, the Bur-
rards found themselves
at 6-9 with three games to
play. The team then went
on to beat New Westmin-
ster, Victoria, and Langley
to sneak into the playoffs
with a 9-9 record.
“When our backs were
to the wall, we were able
to get the job done,” said
Fridge.
The goal this year will be
finding success in the play-
offs.
Many on the Burrards
roster have just finished
playing in the National
Lacrosse League. On one
hand that means Fridge
is getting back a handful
of players in game-ready
shape.
On the other hand, many
are still getting recovering
from the bumps and bruis-
es that come with playing
professional lacrosse.
“Four years ago we had to hope for the planets
to align to beat some of the bigger teams. Not
anymore. We have a chance to win every night.”
Daren Fridge,
Head coach, Maple Ridge Burrards
“I don’t want them to
get burned out,” he said.
“They have been playing in
big arenas for thousands of
people all winter, so it can
be an adjustment.
“Sometimes there can be
a bit of a lull,” Fridge con-
tinued. “But knowing the
guys, I know they want to
build on what we did last
season as much as I do.”
With 10 players seeing
time with NLL teams this
year, it’s problem Fridge
hasn’t faced before.
“It’s a great problem to
have,” said Fridge. “I think
it’s a testament to the
amount of skill we have on
this team.”
After a season with
the Colorado Mammoth,
Joel Dalgarno has re-
turned with much more
confidence, said Fridge.
Dickson, meanwhile was
named the NLL’s rookie of
the year.
The pair will make up
the left and right ride of
the Burrards attack, re-
spectively. Backing them
up will be veteran snipers
Daly, Tellis, and Lowe
On the back end, Sam
Cook and Creighton Reid
will be joined by draft pick
Garrett McIntosh, who
will undoubtedly provide
a physical presence to the
Burrards defence.
“He hits fricken hard,”
said Fridge. “He’s a good
shut-down defender, we
think he will fit well.”
Meanwhile Tyler Codron
has fully recovered from
the ACL injury that nagged
him last season.
“He defends really well,
and now that he’s pain
free, we’re hoping he’ll be
with us for many years,
and become one of our fu-
ture leaders,” said Fridge.
In goal, Fridge said 2010
WLA top goaltender Ron
Schibild will return as
starter despite the acquisi-
tion of goalie Chris Seidel
in this year’s draft. Howev-
er, Sunday’s starter will be
a game-time decision.
• The Maple Ridge Bur-
rards face the Langley
Thunder at 6:45 p.m. this
Sunday at Planet Ice in
Maple Ridge.

Free barbecue and
admission for lax players
Ridge Meadows Minor Lacrosse
Association are hosting a barbecue
Sunday from 4 to 6:30 p.m. at the
Albion Fairgrounds ahead of the
senior Burrards homeopener.
The event features a fastest shot
competition, a lacrosse obstacle
course, a dunk-your-coach tank,
and live music.
The senior Burrards will be on
hand to sign autographs, and there
will be free hot dogs, chips and
drinks for all minor lacrosse play-
ers and their families.
The annual event is held in con-
junction the senior Burrards home
opener to celebrate all levels of
lacrosse in Maple Ridge and Pitt
Meadows, said spokesperson Mi-
chelle Bailuk.
After the barbecue, all minor la-
crosse players and coaches get in to
the Burrards game free of charge,
while minor lacrosse parents and
siblings get in by donation to Ridge
Meadows Minor Lacrosse.
