The couple heads to Tsawassen every other day, “after the traffic relaxes,” to ride and practice their chosen event: team cattle penning. “It’s a real team event, the riders have to be synchro- nized, the horses have to know what they’re doing ... If the cows are too wild you gotta be gentle, if they’re too docile, you gotta be aggressive.” ie event involves three riders cutting three cows out of.a herd of 30 and penning them at the other end of the ring within 99 seconds. ~ Success .depends on the horse. There are separate " cgvents for. cutting, stopping, turning, and those in which the horse must be quict and -calm. Cattle penning requires ‘all of those skills. co . “Te can’t be afraid of cows —one ‘rider goes into the herd and sends them charging down, and then there’s 15 - cows with their tails up, hell- bent right at you. oo “But it also has to be quict “.as'a kitten in the herd so it doesn’t spook any of them. “You don’t even have to steer a good horse.

Aspen, he says, is just such a horse. She’s 15 and has been cattle penning since she was a three-year-old. Together, Whitey and Aspen compete in team cattle penning events throughout the year. Elizabeth and Cinstamon prefer to prac- tise the cvent at a recreational level. On Monday, Whitey and Aspen and their teammates were in the final of this year’s Team Catile Penning compe- tition at the PNE.

Whitey said he and Asven will be back at the PNE for another go at it next year. Until then he and Elizabeth will be riding at events with their club: the Pacific Coast Team Cattle Penning Association, in Maple Ridge. “Some seniors go lawn bowling,” said Whitey. “We have our horses.” NEW KINDERGARTEN. GRADESAND 4 GRADE 8 CLASS GO From page 1 effective protection against waterborne diseases. The contact time fer district. cesidents down- stream of the chlorinarion site is insufficient for disintection of the water; & ozone is a stronger disinfectant than chlorine and as a result is more efiective than chlorine in controling waterborne parasites such as iardia lamblia (beaver fever) and cryptaspondium. Ozone does not require as long a contact time as chlorine to be effective; @ the public indicated a preference for the use of azone over chlorine as a primary disinfectant to reduce the use of chemicals and to reduce the potential of exposure to carcinogenic disinfection byproducts. Because water in Capilano Lake exceeds the acceptable level of turbidity as defined by the Canadian Sate Drinking Water Guidelines on an average of 55 days a year, the Capilano supply and treatment system would be shut down dur- ing the winter months and portions of the spring and fall. Water for the Capilano and Seymour systems would then be supplicd from Seymour through the existing GVWD distribution system. By 2020, the GVWD anticipates increased - water demand due to regional population growth. The Seymour supply and treatment sys- tem would then no longer be able to fulfil the conibined demand of the Capilano and Seymour systems during winter periods when turbidity is usually at its highest. gat that time, twin tunnels and high litt pumps would be constructed to carry Capilano water to an expanded Rice Lake Seymour Filtration Plant. Ozonation at Capilano would be discontinued and Capilano water would be filtered at Seymour followed by chlorination. {Filtration of water before chlorination produces fewer disintection byproducts than ozonation without fiitration.) But district staff say the nin tunnel plan could happen sooner and eliminate the need for a costly ozonation plant at Cleveland Dan. Constructing the tunnels between Capilano and Seymour and a high lift pump station ar Capilano in 2004 would allow Capilano water to be pumped to the Seymour filtration plant, where it could be filtered and chlorinated or chlorinated only, depending on seasonal water demand within the Capilano and Seymour sys- tenis. West-Sell’s report says chlorination without filtering would be an improvement over the pre- sent Capilano chlorination process because the contact time available for Capilano water travel- ling to and from Rice Lake would allow adequate time to achieve the GVWD's disinfection objec- tives, including the giardia removal goals. Cryptosporidium removal through this chlo- tination process without filtration would be less effective than that potentially provided by ozonation. However, the planned Capilano ozonation plant is not designed to effectively remove cryptosporidium because the threat of this parasite in the Capilano watershed is judged by the GVWD to be very low. The fittration process at the Rice Lake Seymour plant is designed to remove both giar- dia and cryptosporidium. ; District staff have financially analyzed the costs of both proposals (sce adjacent table) based on figures supplied by the GVWD. They note “that slight changes in cost estimates, interest, inflation rates and implementation schedules can make different options appear more favourable than others.” Staff say benefits trom their recommendation include: @ climinating tree removal at Cleveland Dam and a better looking park; Wa 20% reduction in truck haulage of rock and less truck traffic on Capilano Road; climination of low pressure supply problems; @ healthier water.

He’s the chief law officer of the Crown.” of problems the province has seen recently continue, it could be time to separate the attorney general from the rest of the cabinet so that’s he’s truly free of political influence. “That’s what happens in Britain,” Williams pointed out. “What the AG did was cor- rect and proper, as difficult as his job may have been. And if Glen Clark had stepped aside earlier, he would have had the same protection as any other member of the public.” West Vancouver Coun. Russ Fraser, who also served as an Attorney Gencral in the Bill Vander Zalm government, said he doesn’t envy Dosanjh: “I’ve certainly experienced the joys an unpleasant and awkward spot to be in.” But Fraser doesn’t believe that the attorney general is self- serving.
