Ranch hand charged in shooting Downtown grass

Claims shotgun fired to
scare off thieves
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter
Crown has approved a criminal
charge against an employee of
a Maple Ridge ranch accused of
shooting a fleeing thief in March
to scare off a group of men who
had broken into the property.
Harold Schienke struck one
of the thieves in the buttocks
by mistake when he fired three
birdshot pellets, less than five
millimetres in diameter, in the
air.
He now faces one count of care-
less use of a firearm.
The 46-year-old man, who lives
with his family at Timberline
Ranch, was arrested in March,
along with five men allegedly in-
volved in the break-and-enter.
The ranch was hoping criminal
charges would be not be pursued
against Schienke, who claims he
was trying to protect his family
and ranch property.
“We regret that the incident
happened, but we are thankful
for the support that we continue
to receive from the community,”
said Timberline Ranch executive
director Craig Douglas.
“Moving forward, our main
concern is to continue to offer
an incredible camp experience
for young people and families
in a safe and enjoyable environ-
ment. To this end, we have taken
steps to ensure that an incident
like this will not occur again at
Timberline, and we continue to
train our staff to respond appro-
priately to any dangerous situa-
tions that occur.”
Timberline Ranch is a 50-year-
old Christian camp and retreat
centre in Maple Ridge that
serves more than 6,000 children
and their families each year.
The March incident was the
second time in three days thieves
had targeted the rural property
on 144th Avenue, at the north
end of 224th Street.
Several items were stolen dur-
ing the first break-in, while two
groups of children, staff and
their families were at the ranch.
Staff believe the same group
returned to the ranch for a sec-
ond time in two days.
See Charges, p15
will stay park
Council wants to use the federal
and B.C. dollars, so it doesn’t lose
them, to fix up the patch of grass
beside the leisure centre down-
town.
But it wants staff to dig a little
deeper and come up with some
more precise scenarios on what the
future holds for the space on 224th
Street, just north of the Zellers
parking lot.
Under the town centre develop-
ment plan from a decade ago, the
area was supposed to have a hotel,
but that never materialized.

Problem bear will be hunted, killed Pitt man

Attacked a pygmy goat in
east Maple Ridge
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter
The bruin sauntered onto Mitch
McCrea’s 287th Street property
around 9:30 p.m., fearlessly and
unfazed by a barking Rottweiler,
thrown rocks and blasts from a
loud air horn.
“We’ve been here 16 years and
never had one attack one of our
animals,” says McCrea.
The bear scaled a sturdy wire
fence, sniffed around garbage
bins on a trailer, turned down
rabbits in their hutches and two
miniature horses before attacking
Billy, a pygmy goat.
“A bear is opportunistic. It’s
going to look for the easiest
meal that requires the least
amount of energy.”
James Kelly, conservation officer
The bear tried to pull Billy over
the fence, but was unsuccessful,
managing only to gnaw a front leg
before leaving.
Because the bear attacked an-
other animal, it will be euthanized
when captured.
It will be the first bear killed in
Maple Ridge this year.
“A bear like this is declared as
predatory,” said conservation of-
ficer James Kelly.
Mitch McCrea with his dead goat, Billy, who was killed Monday morning by a bear looking for food in his backyard along
287th Street at Dewdney Trunk Road.
He’s set up a trap at the site and
hopes it will catch the bear, who
has lost its fear of humans.
Bear sightings are up across the
region as bears leave their dens in
search of food.
In the mountains, they’ll be look-
ing for new green shoots, insects
and carrion from winter kill, but
if food is difficult to find, they may
be tempted enter urban areas.
And if they become habituated
to human food and get used to
being around people, they often
meet their demise.
Kelly said officers will also be
advising the property owner to
protect livestock with an electric
fence and remove attractants
such as garbage.
“A bear is opportunistic. It’s go-
ing to look for the easiest meal
that requires the least amount of
energy,” he added.
“When it comes across a pen that
doesn’t have an electric fence, it’s
a little easier than trying to for-
age for bugs all day.”
Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS
The Ministry of Environment’s
Conservation Officer Service
received 23,240 reports of bear
sightings between April 1, 2010
and March 31, 2011.
During that time, conservation
officers attended 2,827 incidents
in which bears were acting ag-
gressively or public safety was an
issue. As a result, 120 bears were
relocated, while 675 bears had to
be destroyed.

Pekinese die in 2 years
staff reporter
A Pitt Meadows man who
had seven pet Pekinese
dogs die in a span of two
years was banned for life
from owning animals Fri-
day after pleading guilty to
cruelty charges.
David Chun Hei Chan
admitted to criminal code
charges of causing unnec-
essary pain, suffering or
injury to animal, to avoid a
trial.
“My two lovely puppies
were gone forever and le-
gal aid would not help me
to seek any compensation,”
said the 60-year-old.
“I accepted the guilty plea
option so I can move on.”
Between April 2008 and
February 2010, four Pekin-
ese dogs died in Chan’s
care, while another three
were euthanized as a result
of injuries.
“During our investigation
we discovered that Chan
had taken 11 Pekingese
dogs to three different clin-
ics on numerous occasions
between 2008 and 2010, all
suffering from suspicious
injuries and ailments,” said

manager of cruelty investi-

animal was known to be in with coyote and

Then he waited.

Keeping it green
Maple Ridge council has decided, for now,
what to do with the grassy, treed lot that most
assume is part of Memorial Peace Park.
When the old park was renovated, the band-
stand and cenotaph relocated and the over-
grown pond removed, the lot in front of the
Leisure Centre was supposed to be used for a
hotel. But plans for that never materialized.
The district accepted a few suggestions at
a recent open house concerning the patch of
grass, which provides shade during lunch in
the summer, is used to park classic cars dur-
ing Canada Day celebrations and pitch tents
during swim meets. And it is used heavily dur-
ing the Haney Farmers’ Market, the society
for which wants to keep the lot as is.
The Maple Ridge Historical Society, however,
wants a new museum built on it. It has been
lobbying for a new building for several years,
but is continually told there is no money set
aside for such. Meanwhile, a good part of the
museum’s archives are stored away in boxes
and basements, because the existing museum
building along the bypass is too small.
But there seems to be little appetite on coun-
cil, other than Mike Morden, to put a new mu-
seum on the downtown lot.
Coun. Cheryl Ashlie likes the idea of a spray
park there. But that’s probably not a good idea
considering the district already had trouble
with people bathing in the park’s water foun-
tains.
Council still has leftover federal and provin-
cial grant money that it has to use or lose be-

doesn’t grow as the economy grows.”

Posties set to strike
Mail service may shut down Friday unless Can-
ada Post and its unionized workers reach a deal
to avert a strike.
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers served
72-hour strike notice Monday, saying the compa-
ny’s revised final offer is inadequate.
The union has asked for wage hikes of 3.3 per
cent in the first year and 2.75 per cent in each of
the next three years. Canada Post has offered a
four-year contract lifting pay 1.9 per cent in each
of the first three years and 2.0 per cent in the
fourth.
Postal workers currently start at about $23 an
hour. Issues at the table include changing tech-
nology and concessions on wages and benefits for
new hires.
Mail and parcel delivery would be halted in a
strike, but federal pension and old age security
cheques would still be delivered.
Both sides indicated they still hope to reach an
agreement before the strike deadline of midnight

JUNE 2011:
Maple Ridge This Month
SPOTLIGHT ON: Innovative Technology
Maple Ridge has an amazing new Zero Emission Vehicle
driving around town thanks to the work of District employee
George Veltin, and the talented team at the Operations
Centre. George, with lots of help from his colleagues in the
shop, converted a GM Sonoma Extended Cab that had a V6
gas engine and automatic transmission into a state-of-the-
art electric vehicle
George stripped the old motor and transmission out of the
Sonoma and installed thirty-two 200 amp lithium ion batteries
and a 96 volt three phase motor and a new transmission into
the truck. The range of the truck is 100 kilometres on a charge,
and the truck’s speed can get up to 80 km per hour. The cost
to recharge the vehicle is estimated at $1.30.
Maple Ridge strives to be one of the most sustainable
communities in the world. George and the team at the
District’s Operations Centre have done a remarkable job on
this project, and the experience that they gained doing this
conversion and monitoring how this vehicle operates, will
INFORMED: New Regulations Take Effect Today
Lawn Watering Guidelines
We know, we know, with all the rain that we’ve had in the
last few weeks it seems hard to believe, but from June 1
to September 30, residential lawn sprinkling hours are
restricted between 4:00 am to 9:00 am. That is when the
least amount of water used on lawns will evaporate.
WHEN YOU MAY SPRINKLE YOUR LAWN:
Residential Addresses:
• Even-numbered addresses may sprinkle lawns from
4:00 am to 9:00 am on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday
• Odd-numbered addresses may sprinkle lawns from
4:00 am to 9:00 am on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday
• Residential addresses may NOT sprinkle on Friday.
Non-Residential Addresses:
• Even-numbered addresses may sprinkle lawns from
1:00 am - 6:00 am on Monday and Wednesday
• Odd-numbered addresses may sprinkle lawns from
1:00 am - 6:00 am on Tuesday and Thursday
• Non-residential addresses MAY also sprinkle from
4:00 am - 9:00 am on Friday.
Newly turfed or seeded lawns may be irrigated more
frequently, provided a written permit stipulating conditions
is first obtained from the Engineering Department. The
cost of the permit is $30 for a three week period and is
renewable once.
• Watering of flowers, shrubs and vegetable gardens is not
affected by the regulations at this stage.
INSPIRED: Be Bear Aware
This time of year the number of bear sightings begin to
increase and our behavior will determine the extent of our
interactions with wildlife. The main thing to remember is to
keep your garbage securely stored on your property and
not to put out garbage until the morning of collection day
to keep bears or other wildlife from being tempted. Under
Bylaw No. 6533-2007, the District of Maple Ridge’s Untidy
and Unsightly Premises Bylaw, every owner or occupier
of property in Maple Ridge must ensure that all standard
containers and special containers are to be kept lidded or
closed when not being emptied or filled, and at all times
secured against disturbance by animals.
To reduce the chance of meeting a bear while hiking, cycling,
mountain biking, horse-back riding or any other outdoor
activity, it is recommended that individuals travel in a group,
make noise or carry something that makes noise, such as a
bell. If you see a bear, give it plenty of space and stay well
away from it.
FEEDBACK
Contact us at enquiries@mapleridge.ca
If you have a question about any of the content in this ad, or questions about any programs or services offered by the District
of Maple Ridge, please send us an email to enquiries@mapleridge.ca and one of our team members will respond to you.
allow us to be leaders in how this technology can be used
throughout the District.
This vehicle sports a distinctive set of decals and will be
on display throughout the summer at community events.
Look for more information on this remarkable vehicle at
www.mapleridge.ca in the ‘newsroom’ section.
• Car washing using a hose equipped with spring loaded
shut-off device is permitted.
• These restrictions do not apply to nurseries, golf courses,
sport fields, and parks at this time.
The above regulations will remain in effect until further
notice. By conserving water now (when Mother Nature seems
to be doing a great job watering out lawns), we will help save
water and reduce the risk of more severe restrictions later in
the summer. Remember, your lawn only needs about 1-inch
of water (about 1 hour of sprinkling) per week to stay healthy.
For more information on water treatment and supply, sprinkling
regulations, conservation and reservoir levels please visit
the Metro Vancouver website at www.metrovancouver.org/
services/water/conservation/Pages/sprinkling.aspx
If you see a bear in a municipal park, please report it to the
District’s Parks Department at 604-467-7346. Staff will post
a sign at the park notifying visitors to exercise caution.
To report an aggressive bear (bluff charging, damaging
property, etc) please call the Ministry of Environment
Conservation Officer at 1-877-952-7277. For more
information on how to “Get Bear Aware”, please visit the
Province’s Ministry of Environment’s website at

INSPIRED: Ribbon Cutting
On Friday, May 27, Council members joined the staff and
Volunteers at the new Maple Ridge Community Animal Centre
at 10235 Jackson Road, and cut the ribbon to officially open
this magnificent new facility. The dedication plaque notes that
the building is dedicated “on behalf of the citizens of Maple
Ridge and the animals that share our lives.” The building
represents the incredible partnership of the BC SPCA, the
District of Maple Ridge and the amazing volunteers and donors
who have worked tirelessly to see this project completed.
During the opening events volunteers led tours demonstrating
the ‘green’ aspects of the building design and construction and
showing how this facility will allow the dedicated SPCA team
to care for animals in our community. Remember, if your family
would like a pet think of the SPCA first and adopt one of the
special animals looking for a loving home.
INFORMED: 2011 Tax Notice
Tax Notices Have Been Mailed
Due to a potential labour disruption at Canada Post, the
2011 tax notices were mailed out a bit early this year. If you
have not received your 2011 Tax Notice you should contact
us immediately at 604-467-7336.
Accompanying your tax notice is a yellow information sheet
that outlines the methods you can use to pay your taxes
and apply for your Home Owner Grant. In particular, the
information sheet highlights how you can do your home
owner grant application online and details of how to sign up
for the Pre-Authorized Withdrawal System so that you can
‘pre-pay’ your 2012 taxes in installments.
Using the information on the upper left hand corner of your
Tax Notice you can do your Home Owner Grant application
online in about five minutes. Then pay your outstanding tax
balance using your online banking system, and you will avoid
waiting in any lineups.
Take a few minutes to review the information sheet that came
with your tax notice. A few minutes of reading could save
you a lot of time. Remember, your taxes need to be paid by
Monday, July 4, 2011.

Man hurt trying to stop car thief
A man sustained mi-
nor injuries while try-
ing to stop another
man from stealing his
car Monday morning in
Maple Ridge.
Police were called at
7:15 a.m. about the at-
tempted vehicle theft
on 222 Street near Dew-
dney Trunk Road.
The owner of a Toyota
Corolla saw a man try-
ing to steal his car. The
owner then opened the
driver’s side door of
the car and grabbed the
suspect, who drove the
car forward. The owner
was dragged some dis-
tance before letting go.
He suffered minor, non-
life-threatening inju-
ries, according to Ridge
Meadows RCMP.
The suspect then
crashed the car, which
still had anti-theft de-
vices on the steering
wheel. He ran away
and was last seen run-
ning through yards, and
apartment complexes in
the area in a southeast
direction. The suspect is
a Caucasian man, 5’10”
to 6’0” tall, with a medi-
um build and a goatee.
A police dog and han-
dler with the RCMP
Integrated Police Dog
Services were brought
in, but lost the track on
223rd Street, near Sel-
kirk Avenue.
“We are quite relieved
that the victim was not
seriously injured in this
incident,” Cpl. Alanna
Dunlop said. “We are
doing everything possi-
ble to catch the suspect,
and bring him to justice.
We do caution our citi-
zens. If you observe a
crime in progress to call
police as soon as pos-
sible, and let us handle
the situation. We do not
want innocent persons
putting themselves in
harm’s way, as this can
lead to serious conse-
quences.”
• Anyone who wit-
nessed the attempted
theft is asked to con-
tact Ridge Meadows
RCMP at 604-463-6251.

call CrimeStoppers at

App for that
A smart phone appli-
cation allowed police to
track a pair of thieves
who stole a purse left
inside a car on Sunday
in Maple Ridge.
The purse was taken
around 5:30 p.m. from a
vehicle parked at Jerry
Sulina Park, off 210th
Street.
The owners of the ve-
hicle were approaching
the parking lot when
they heard glass smash
and saw two men run-
ning to a blue Ford van.

Teaching a whole new way to read

Comics and graphic novels
are now part of school
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter

N
ina Fowell instructs a class of
perplexed eight graders to take
notes without words.
As she begins reading a paragraph
about marauding Mongol warriors,
heads turn, foreheads furrow and stu-
dents look a tad confused.
“I want you to take notes in pictures,”
explains the Thomas Haney teacher,
as students scribble a village and tents
and sketch out tiny Mongolian men.
Fowell is used to the flummoxed faces.
Since she started using graphic novels
as a teaching tool three years ago, she
knows takes a while for their brains to
adjust.
“We have two side of our brain - one
that is more logical and one that is
more creative and artistic. This way
we get to stimulate both parts of the
brain,” she says.
Popular with kids and young adults,
graphic novels integrate images and
text to tell a story than would not be
possible with only a single medium:
they’re a whole new way to read.
With titles and topics that range from
historical to the profane and every-
thing in between, readership of graphic
novels has steadily increased in the
past decade.
Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS
Students in Ms. Fowell’s Grade 8 graphic
novel workshop.
In 2009, the total market for the visual
medium was $680 million dollars, with
$370 million in graphic novel sales and
$310 million in comics.
“Sometimes there are kids that need
to present their knowledge visually,”
says Fowell, who figured out pictures
enhanced the reading experience when
she began reading comic books with
her son more than two decades ago.
Since then she’s used snippets of vi-
sual information while teaching in el-
ementary and now high school.
When she opened Sector 2841, comic
and toy store, in Maple Ridge three
years ago, she began sharing her Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS
knowledge in earnest.

Man and machines inspire Maple Ridge artist

Contributed
A Liebherr crane painted in acrylic by Kristen Krimmel.
Kristin Krimmel captures beauty
of construction sites in exhibit
Artistic inspiration is everywhere, it
would seem – you simply need to know
where to look for it.
Daily trips past the multitude of con-
struction sites that seem to dominate
Lower Mainland roads provided just the
catalyst Maple Ridge artist Kristin Krim-
mel was seeking.
Her upcoming exhibit at the Fort Gal-
lery, Construction/Deconstruction builds
on the idea that a construction site is more
than just concrete and gravel – it has its
own eye-catching elements as well.
Over the past five years, there has been
an unusual amount of construction going
on around Greater Vancouver in prepara-
tion for the Olympics, including the cut-
and-cover construction of the Canada Line
near Krimmel’s former home at Cambie
and 41st; and later in Maple Ridge near
her new home, with the construction of
the new Pitt and the Golden Ears bridges.
“Construction
is about new
building.”
Kristen Krimmel,
artist
While the construction itself was disrup-
tive and grungy, Krimmel took a childlike
interest in the bright coloured machines
that made it all happen – the excavators,
bulldozers, cranes and other equipment.
On a grey day, a bright yellow ’dozer or
a bright orange excavator can be the only
lively looking thing, amidst dirt and grav-
el.
Construction is about new building, said
the artist.
It sometimes requires demolishing or
taking apart what was there before – its
deconstruction.
In painting, she is interested in the “guts”
of an image – the shapes, the textures, the
surface qualities, the spatial relationships
and the colour harmonies.
The construction machines have given
her the opportunity to deconstruct the
original photo-like image into component
parts, to abstract it, to play with ideas of
weight and balance, shapes, formalities of
composition, and ideas.
• Construction/Deconstruction opens
with an artist’s reception on Saturday,
June 3, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The show
runs until June 19. Gallery hours are noon
to 5 p.m., Wednesday to Sunday at 9048

Nina Fowell teaches a graphic novel workshop to
Grade 8 students at Thomas Haney secondary.
Novel from p17
Fowell uses graphic novels not only to enhance
the reading experience and help kids takes notes,
but as a tool to improve memory.
“In real life, they have to write exams that don’t
have visuals,” she says.
“It’s getting them to that exam in ways where
they can visualize what they are doing and help
them to remember information that they would
not remember if they just read it.”
She’s helped students who were terrified of es-
says and words craft long projects by getting them
to present information both visually and in written
form.
“It’s knowledge in another form than just writ-
ing,” says Fowell. “It takes the fear out of it. They
know there are other options. It opens up a world
to kids.”

Periodic road closures of Dewdney Trunk Road will continue to be required over the next two years to
facilitate the replacement of the spillway gates. In general, these will be short-term (10–15 minutes)
or single lane closures. To install the new gates, a full road closure of approximately three days will
be required four times during the two-year project.

Burrards beat Salmonbellies at home, take WLA lead
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter
The 2011 Western Lacrosse Asso-
ciation season may still be young,
but the Maple Ridge Burrards are
happy to be atop the standings and
tied for first after defeating the New
Westminster Salmonbellies at home
Sunday night.
The Burrards bounced back from
a lacklustre effort Saturday night
that saw them lose 14-11 to the Co-
quitlam Adanacs on the road, with
a 9-7 victory at home over the 2010
WLA champions.
“A win’s a win, but we have to be
cautious,” said Burrards head coach
Daren Fridge. “They had a deplet-
to 18-4 on the season in league play,
and stretched their winning streak
to nine games after one of their best
weekends of the season.
The Royals started the weekend
in Richmond, where they swept the
Chuckers in their double-header
Saturday by scores of 5-2 and 6-2.
The Royals returned home to the
Albion Sports Complex after 14
games on the road Sunday for a
double-header with the Mounties.
The first game saw Keanen
Buckley take the hill for the Roy-
als against the Mounties’ Brendan
ed line-up and we were fortunate
we were able to take advantage of
that.”
The Burrards are 2-1 so far this
season, and while Fridge is pleased
with his team’s start, he knows there
a lot of lacrosse left to play.
“I’d love to be at 3-0, but I’m cer-
tainly pleased,” he said. “I’m not
surprised at where we are, but I’m
not going to overanalyze it either.
It’s early and there’s still a lot of
ground to cover.”
Curtis Dickson led the Burrards
offence last weekend, with eight
goals against Coquitlam and New
Westminster. Dickson now has 17
points this season to lead the team
in scoring, and has aptly demon-
strated why he was named the Na-

Lim. The game was scoreless until
the Royals pushed a run across in
the fourth, and added three more
in the fifth to help secure a 5-0 win.
Buckley allowed only four hits in
throwing his fourth complete game
of the season. Offensively, Cole
Ross (1-4, RBI, two runs), Kevin
Bork (2-4, RBI, one run), and Na-
than Kitamura (1-1, RBI) all had
key contributions.
In the second game of the day,
Joey Tack started for the home
team and pitched five solid innings
allowing only a solo home run in
tional Lacrosse League’s rookie of
the year.
“He’s electrifying,” said Fridge.
“He has really taken his game to
the next level. He sees the floor a lot
better than last year, and he’s pretty
close to unstoppable one-on-
one, so that allows him
to draw the double
team.
“For the team
and fans, I think
we’re really for-
tunate to have
him here.”
The Burrards opened up a 4-0 lead
on New West Sunday night, only to
have the Salmonbellies push back to
within one near the midway mark of
the period.
