‘I can’t believe it was pilot error’

Crash from front
The plane had been chosen by the Royal
Air Force for use in the South East Asian
theatre of war against the Japanese be-
cause of its long range and heavy payload.
However, the Liberator was also notori-
ous for catching on fire, and was consid-
ered an “electrician’s nightmare,” says
historian Michael DesMazes.
He’s spent the better part of 20 years re-
searching the Thornhill crash and others
as part of his forthcoming book, From Ti-
ger Moths to Liberators, which looks at the
role the training units at Boundary Bay
and Abbotsford played in the war effort.
More than 4,500 airmen were trained at
Boundary Bay and Abbotsford during the
16 months they were in operation, as part
of the massive British Commonwealth Air
Training Plan. The international effort re-
sulted in hundreds of airports being built
across the country, as Canada helped train
130,000 airmen for the war, including close
to 50,000 pilots.
A dozen major crashes occurred through-
out Southern B.C. involving training air
crews, claiming close to 70 lives during war
time.
“The Second World War was happening
right in our own backyard,” says Des-
Mazes.

“The Second World War was

happening right in our
own backyard.”
(Above) Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS; (below) contributed
Mike DesMazes, historian Mike DesMazes, a historian, at the crash memorial in downtown Maple Ridge; (below) B-24 Liberators at 5 OTU Abbotsford, part of the British Com-
monwealth Air Training Plan.

After starting out on the two-engine B-25

Mitchell bomber at Boundary Bay, crews
graduated to the four-engine B-24 Libera-
tor at Abbotsford.
“These were not rookie pilots,” says
DesMazes. “Many of these guys had flown
Lancasters and Wellingtons in Europe, but
they had to get re-certified [on the Libera-
tor].”
Liberator EW 134 G had just returned
to duty after undergoing maintenance at
Boundary Bay. The plane was returning
from a cross-country training exercise
when it began developing engine prob-
lems towards the end of its flight, says
DesMazes.
The plane came in southbound, down Pitt
Lake and turned left, where it followed the
Fraser River at low altitude as it made its way
towards Abbotsford and home.
Witnesses saw the plane flying just a few
hundred feet above the water as it passed
by the Hammond Cedar mill and the Maple
Ridge Golf Course, with one of its side doors
open.
Both the engines on the left side of the air
craft had sputtered to a stop.
Unable to make the turn to the right towards
Abbotsford, the plane would have to turn
nearly a full circle in the opposite direction in
order to make its approach to the runway.
But as the plane began the portside turn,
northward toward Grant Hill and the Maple
Ridge neighbourhood of Thornhill, the plane
suddenly lost altitude, and plunged straight
down into the forested hillside.
The seven men, all members of the Royal
Canadian Air Force, died instantly.
A plume of smoke quickly rose like a beacon
from the hilltop. Within minutes, the Whon-
nock detachment of the Pacific Coast Militia
Rangers, which had been conducting target
practice near the Whonnock cemetery, spot-
ted the black smoke and sped up the hill in
their cars, according to Ed Villiers’ account of
the crash, which appears in his 2005 history of
Maple Ridge, All Our Yesterdays.
The group established a guard around the
crash site and began to hack a trail through
the dense bush.
The Rangers beat Knaack to the crash site.
He remembers standing on one of the plane’s
massive wings, half embedded in the ground,
as the heat of the fire ignited bullets from the
plane’s ten 50-calibre machine guns, firing
them off in every direction.
“It’s amazing no one else was hurt,” says
Knaack.
Over the next two weeks, RCAF personnel
packed away almost every last piece of the
plane wreckage. After a Kittyhawk single-en-
gine trainer plane crashed in the Fraser River
three weeks earlier south of Ruskin, killing
its pilot, there was talk of sabotage.
The official explanation by the Canadian
military was pilot error, but DesMazes doesn’t
believe that for a second.
“The two pilots and the instructor had a
combined 2,000 hours of experience,” he says.
“With all that combined experience, I can’t
believe it was pilot error.”
The RCAF conducted only a cursory inves-
tigation of the crash, as it was wartime. With
pilot error as the cause, no further investiga-
tion would be required.
“It was the end of the war, so they pretty
much forgot about it,” says DesMazes.
Although the wreckage had been largely
removed by RCAF personnel, for many years
there remained scattered detritus from the
crash in the area east of 264th Street.
Knaack, along with many of his school-
mates, would venture out to the crash site
and scavenge for souvenirs.
“There were pieces of Plexiglass every-
where, so we would take them and make rings
out of them,” he says. “That was the popular
thing to do back then.”
Nature has since reclaimed the hilltop
where C.H. Carscadden, W.G. Beveson, W.
Schneeberger, H.S. Weiss, J.L Therien, and
H.J. Niemi met their end.
Their names grace a rock cairn in down-
town Maple Ridge’s Memorial Peace Park,
where a plaque recounts their last mo-
ments, 66 years ago today.

Don’t be cruel
The B.C. SPCA is currently investigating the re-
volting cull of as many as 100 sled dogs near Whis-
tler after the Olympics last spring.
Details of the mass slaughter are outlined in a B.C.
Workers’ Compensation Board application by the
man who followed orders from the tourism company
that owned to dogs to kill them.
The SPCA conducts thousands of animal cru-
elty investigations a year, such as the one involving
Trooper, the emaciated golden retriever pup who
was dropped off at the Maple Ridge shelter last year.
He was subsequently nursed back to health and ad-
opted by a Pitt Meadows family. His original owner
pleaded guilty to causing an animal to continue to be
in distress, was fined $2,000 and banned from own-
ing animals for 10 years.
However, no all investigations have such happy
endings.
The one involving the sled dogs continues. Any-
thing less than a public hanging will only incite
more public outrage. At least two social-media-orga-
nized protests are planned, one on the North Shore,
another in Rome.
Outdoor Adventures admits it asked the employee,
Bob Fawcett, to get rid of the dogs, but not in such a
manner – shot and stabbed. Fawcett admits that, too,
and that he has euthanized dogs before.
The provincial government has appointed a task
force to review the cull, as well as the responsibili-
ties and regulations of the dog sledding industry.
Hopefully, it’s money well spent.
The SPCA is legislated to conduct animal cruelty
investigations, yet the provincial government con-
tinually cuts funding to the organization: gaming
grants were reduced by almost half in 2007; then
in 2009, its direct grant (used for training special
constables to conduct cruelty investigations) was

didn’t cover the rent – B.C. has the lowest
minimum wage, and highest cost of living in
Canada. Mike’s severance pay ran out.
Joanne wishes she could have helped him
more, but her brother lived in Winnipeg,
and she was here.
Joanne said Mike was angry and frus-
trated for reasons that weren’t always
clear to everyone. Since 1993, he had been
contending with recurring attacks of flesh
eating disease.
Mike’s situation has helped Joanne strive
to be a good listener, firm but fair with
everyone who comes through her door.
Joanne’s brother eventually lost his apart-
ment.
“He couch sat where he could,” says
Joanne, “and tried to keep going. In the
final months, though, he was sleeping in his
car.”
In 2009, Mike died from complications of
the disease he kept from most people to the
end, and Joanne became the manager of
Clientele jumped about 30 per cent with the
downturn, 10 per cent more in 2009.
Joanne says the misconception about who
needs the food is persistent.
“So many people think we just feed the
homeless. We work with the Sally Ann to
help them, but all our clients have a fixed
address. You need a kitchen to make use of
a hamper.”
The working poor is a growing group
here, says Joanne. “The number who own
their own home who can’t make it is in-
creasing. Some are working two jobs. That
puts a strain on couples. The increasing
anxiety is causing split-ups.”
The hourly minimum wage is not the liv-
ing wage. That’s $16.41, the bare amount for
rent, food, phone bills, and so on. “Someone
might have a title of assistant manger,”
says Joanne, “but little else.”
I know kids like this, too. They work long
hours, and pool earnings to live in substan-
dard apartments, often with bad neighbors,
and nothing left for buses or a movie.
Seniors and children represent 47 per
costs about $100. Joanne wants to provide
a second one each month, but that would
take another $60,000. In a larger city like
Kelowna, with big hotels and businesses, it
would be easier to find that. Still, Joanne
praises the business community here for
doing what it can.
In the meantime, she struggles to come
up with other ways to raise funds through-
out the year.
“We collect 80 per cent of what we need
for a year at Christmas,” she says.
On Feb. 12, the food bank hosts a fund

Year at Pitt Meadows Heritage Hall on Har-
ris Road. Food from Enjoy Garden Restau-

Last month, when Joanne spoke publicly
about increasing demands of the food bank,
someone asked, how she could get her
clients involved in the community?
We all need to give as well as receive.

These inputs cannot be re-

Oil reserves are running
down, natural underground
water reservoirs are de-
pleted, and water supplies

What we have is a perfect
economic storm for ever in-
creasing food prices.
• Higher demand: As the
economic miracles in China
and India develop, their new-
found prosperity is allowing
them to add more meat to
their diets. Unfortunately,
meat is one of the most in-
efficient ways to feed the
world’s population, and in-
creasing meat production is
adding to the price pressure
on grains and corn.
• Higher input costs: Oil
prices that had recovered
from the recession levels
are heading up again. Fertil-
izer prices are skyrocketing
and water supplies are de-
clining.
• Poor harvests: The
price for grains and other
farm products began ris-
ing last fall after poor har-
vests in Canada, Russia and
Ukraine tightened global
supplies. More recently,
hot, dry weather in South
and new business is as back-
wards as it gets.

• Decreasing land base:

and more arable land out of

Getting back to local con-
cerns.
A farmer friend told me
that he was buying land in
the interior for his son to
farm. I asked him, why not
in Maple Ridge? The answer
was of course simple: the
price of land is too high in
Maple Ridge. Why is it too
high? Because people are
buying and speculating on
ALR farmland to convert
to other uses – industrial
parks, shopping malls, hous-
ing developments.
The economic justification
for producing food on mar-
ginal land may not make
sense now, but we have to
take off our blinders and re-
alize that in a globally inter-
dependent world this will
change.
Sooner or later we are go-

reliance on imported food
and start thinking about

make a difference in their fi-

The reason the tourism

vate enterprise was to reduce
the tax burden overall.
Why on earth would one

it with another? Nowhere
else in Canada does one tax

replaced by another, with
no net gain to consumers or
residents.

growing a lot more of our
food locally.
Of course we will always
be able to buy food, but at
what cost?
How will your budget sur-
vive a double-digit increase
in food prices every year?
Given that the spark that
has ignited the fires now
burning in the Middle East
can be directly attributed
to rising food prices, then
what’s happening should be
a wake-up call to us all.
Will there be food riots in
Canada? Not so likely, but
don’t dismiss the possibility
in China, India and even the
U.S.
I believe that we need a
strong policy from our lo-
cal governments that says
under no circumstance will
any land be taken out of the
ALR.
We need to save every last
acre for our future food se-
curity. If we have this policy
in place, land speculation
will disappear and farmers
will have a chance to make
money at what they do best.

Perhaps this is why Coun.

Hammond Rd. property split in 4

A rezoning applica-
tion to split a piece of
property in east Pitt
Meadows into four was
narrowly approved
Tuesday by council.
The application
changes the zoning at
19496 Hammond Road
from a large suburban
residential designation
to company one family
dwelling.
Council also approved
a development variance
permit for the property,
reducing the minimum
site width from 12.8
metres (42 ft) to 10.9
metres (32.8 ft), result-
ing in a 1.9 metre (6.2 ft)
variation per lot.
The application
squeaked by on a four
to three vote, with
Mayor Don MacLean,
Coun. John Becker and
Coun. Doug Bing voting
against it.
“I will be not be sup- Gentle Family Dentistry

to switch from one fam-

Fast fiends
Ridge Meadows RCMP
are investigating a pair of
robberies at fast food res-
taurants in Maple Ridge
on Tuesday.
The first happened
around 8:30 p.m. at
a Dairy Queen in
the 22400-block of the
Lougheed Highway.
Two young men walked
into the restaurant and
helped themselves to an
ice cream cake.
Cpl. Alanna Dunlop

white hooded sweatshirt
and covered his head
with a white T-shirt with
eye holes cut out to avoid
being identified. He left
the restaurant on a sil-
ver coloured BMX-style
bicycle.

tion.
The 20-foot-long trailer
on a property on 110th

around 8 p.m.
Maple Ridge assistant
fire chief Timo Juurakko

Chorus delivers
telegrams of love
By Mario Bartel
Black Press
T
rudy Zonneveld has
seen people react with
glee, bewilderment,
shock and even embarrass-
ment to her singing. But she
never thought it would help
her get out of a speeding
ticket.
Zonneveld is a member
of the Westcoast Harmony
Chorus, and every Valen-
tine’s Day for the past 22 or
23 years, about half the group
is divided into quartets to
deliver musical messages of
love and devotion all across
Metro Vancouver. The sing-
ing telegrams are the group’s
major annual fundraiser to
help cover the costs of coach-
ing, music and costumes.
It was while running late
to one of those appointments
when Zonneveld’s quartet
was pulled over for exceed-
ing the speed limit in a school
zone. As the driver was ex-
plaining their situation to the

officer the group broke into
song. Bemused and delight-
ed, the officer even called
over his partner to share the
show. The quartet got off
with a warning.
Over the years the quar-
tets have performed in class-
rooms, construction sites, a
high school gym class, the
wrestling room at Simon
Fraser University, offices, pri-
vate homes, hospitals, beside
train tracks in North Vancou-
ver, even a wrecking yard.
One group delivered a par-
ticularly moving Valentine to
a patient in palliative care.
He could no longer eat, so
he couldn’t enjoy chocolates,
explains Jackie Baron, and
flowers would likely outlast
him; a singing love message
was the best way his partner
could think of showing him
her gratitude for all their
years together.
While every member of the
chorus is an accomplished
singer, each of the Valentine’s
quartets must audition to en-

Gardening for the birds, feeding them
I
f gardening helps
us get in touch with
nature, then feeding
the birds – be it passively
or with intent – is about
as close as we can get
to ‘being one’ with the
environment.
Sometimes the birds
are so grateful that they
actually touch back,
which is just their way of
saying thanks. Gardening

old, grouchy Indian pony named Dan, whose
caretaker was an even older (but much nicer)
retiree who lived in a cottage with his wife
at the bottom of the hill. Bill and May loved
their birds and the backyard was festooned
with every imaginable feeder. I would often
join them for lunch, at which time they would
introduce me to their feathered friends.

mingbirds had migrated home, Bill pointed Nicole Lascelle photos

Five-million, accident-free kilometres
Canada’s top truck driver
shares some of his safety
secrets for the road
by Phi l M elnyc h u k
staff reporter
N
ote to new truckers eager to
hit the road in the big rig.:
watch and learn from those
who’ve gone before you (and maybe
ended up in the ditch), take the best
from each driver and throw the rest
in the trash.
And having a healthy dose of
fear helps too, says Canada’s
Driver of the Year, who says he
doesn’t want to report a wreck to
his supervisor.
“I find the biggest thing in my
career … you learn from other
people’s mistakes. Every time
you see a collision, you always
ask yourself, ‘How come that
happened?’ “ says Maple Ridge
resident John Beeler.
“Most of the time, the causes of
collisions are speed, too much of
it, eh. Just over-driving the con-
ditions, being in too much of a
hurry, over-driving winter con-
ditions.”
Beeler received the recognition
in December from the Canadian
Trucking Alliance. A few months
before that he was named B.C.
Driver of the Year by the B.C.
Trucking Association.
He notes the Canada-wide title
is also given based on a driver’s
contribution to the industry, not
only his safety record.
But the latter no doubt figured
largely.
For the last 36 years, Beeler
has driven freight trucks up and
down the roads of B.C., Alberta,
Washington state and the Yukon,
piling on just under five million
kilometres of accident-free driv-
ing in the process.
To drive safely, he says you
should know the vehicle and how
it’s supposed to work and learn
from other drivers. “Take the
worst that you see and then won-
der why that situation happened
to that individual.
“Take the best that you can get
from each person that you run
9 99
John Beeler of Maple Ridge has been on the road for 36 years and is part of a pilot program that has seen the latest
in long-combination vehicles – hauling two trailers that total 41 metres in length – on the Coquihalla Highway from
Burnaby to Kelowna or Kamloops. Such rigs have been rolling for years on the prairies. He says more companies will start
using such vehicles as a means of fuel economizing because they can almost double the amount of goods hauled.
into, then throw all the other
stuff in the garbage. Mold your-
self into being a safety-concious
person.”
Most likely, the axiom ‘haste
makes waste’ figures in any driv-
ing disaster, such as a few weeks
ago when snow and ice covered
the Coquihalla Highway.
Beeler was westbound to Van-
couver but decided to shut it
down and wait until weather con-
ditions improved. In the three-
plus decades he’s been driving,
he’s only done that five times.
He wasn’t afraid of sliding over
a cliff, but more worried about
other rigs without tire chains
hitting him.
“Taking chances doesn’t pay,”
Beeler says.
If he’s delayed, all his company
wants is a phone call, no other
questions are asked because
the company knows it’s his call.
While he rolled into Burnaby
a few hours late, nobody said a
peep.
“I’m the captain of my ship,”
Beeler explains.
The same advice applies to the
general motoring public on the
highway. “Throw your watch
away,” he says.
“Quit racing the clock to get
where you’re going.”
Beeler was sharing his thoughts
Wednesday via hands-free device
as he rolled westbound through
Abbotsford on Highway 1, head-
ing to Burnaby.
He was driving a 2010 Casca-
dia Freightliner with 530 horse-
power. While Beeler says there’s

or Apple Crumble Dessert

*Lunch and dinner entrées only. Excludes steak entrées.
Contributed
nothing fancy in it, the cab comes
with an on-board computer that
tracks the driver’s hours behind
the wheel, the vehicle and engine
speed and location.
That all plays a role as the com-
pany monitors drivers to ensure
they follow the new trucking reg-
ulations that limit driver’s time
to 13 hours behind the wheel per
24-hour period.
Beeler says with vehicles
changing and improving all the
time, drivers have to keep up to
date. “Knowledge is key.”
And for any trucker just start-
ing out: get as much experience
as you can, he adds, then find
yourself a good company to work
for.
Beeler’s been with Canadian
Freightways for 31 years and
Section coordinator:
Phil Melnychuk
604-467-1122 ext. 215
newsroom@mapleridgenews.com
says the company’s priority is
safety.
“We don’t want collisions.”
If truck isn’t safe, it doesn’t roll
until it is. And if it can’t be re-
paired, it’s replaced.
Winter driving tires are rou-
tinely replaced when they hit
40-per-cent wear remaining.
While vehicles are changing
constantly, it’s not the case with
B.C. roads.
Beeler likes the Coquihalla, the
multi-lanes and easy driving,
even though many motorists and
truckers have trouble with the
steep hills.
But he’s not as impressed with
the stretch of the Trans-Canada
Highway east of Sicamous (east
of Kamloops), Roger’s Pass to
the Alberta border, even though
the Kicking Horse Canyon Bridge
improved a short section of that
east of Golden.
“Quit racing the clock to
get where you’re going.”
John Beeler, truck driver
Much of the Trans-Canada
remains only two-lanes on the
main east-west corridor linking
B.C. to the rest of the country.
There are too many accidents
on that section, involving both
truckers and the general public,
and Beeler says the road is still
in the Stone Age.
“It’s pretty much an ugly road,
for being rough. It really hasn’t
changed as much as I’d like it to.
“It’s a demanding piece of road
that a lot of people overdrive too
much.
“It’s been that way for years. It
should change at some point and
be something like the Coquihalla.
It just has to be improved.
“I bet you they’ve done more
changes on the Alaska Highway
than they’ve done on that [Trans-
Canada Hwy.] section over there.
For the amount of traffic that
goes over that road it’s just plain
outdated.”

Time to think clearly about the dangers of concussions

D
uring this past all-star
weekend, the NHL
board of governors ob-
tained a report showing an
increasing trend of concus-
sions in professional hockey.
The other important find-
ing of the report is that the
majority of those injuries
are not necessarily from
deliberate, intentional hits
to the head. Instead, they
Kinected appear to be accidental col-
Kerry Senchyna lisions like the one Sidney
Crosby sustained in the
Winter Classic game, where
the head may not sustain
any direct impact. In fact,
Crosby is one of 12 players
not currently playing be-
cause of head injuries. NHL
injury reports also indicate
that 43 concussions had been
sustained to date since the
start of exhibition play, and
if that trend continues that
would put the figure at 75
concussions by the end of
this season.
This situation is made even
more disturbing with the
results of the November 2010
report on junior hockey play-
ers published in the journal
Neurosurgical Focus that not
only found that the rate of
concussions in junior hockey
is very high, but that there
are many underlying issues
that need to be addressed
in order to reduce these
concussion rates.
Among the many interest-
ing conclusions of the study
were that contributing fac-
tors to the perpetuation of
this situation has as much
to do with ignorance about
concussions and competitive
culture as it has to do with
physical impact.
Although players know
how a concussion happens,
they often don’t know what
actually happens to the
brain or what the symptoms
of concussions are.
The players in the study
also demonstrated a “dis-
turbing lack of compliance to
undergo neuropsychological
evaluations,” which indi-
cated to the researchers that
players do not have a good
understanding of how seri-
ous brain injuries are.
They often don’t know if
they have sustained a con-
cussion either.
