Gov’t will

MP Randy Kamp hosts meeting on
proposed anti-smuggling legislation

The MV Sun Sea should have been stopped in

mid-ocean and sent back to where it came from,
said one.
And why not put the asylum seekers on an is-
land off B.C.’s north coast, like Australia does,
asked another.
One recent arrival to Canada
said it took her eight months
to get her immigration papers.
Why wasn’t the second ship
stopped before it got here, she
asked.

“We need to take a look at
the whole immigration system and perhaps put a
moratorium on some of the groups that are using
the system,” he said.
The views came at MP Randy Kamp’s town hall
meeting Monday on Canada’s Bill C-49, which
proposes to get tough with human smuggling and Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

The race for a seat at Maple Ridge

municipal council has started 10
months ahead of election day, with
Claus Andrup first out of the start-

Teachers, family friends, and rela-
tives all pitched in so Tamara could
be by Miranda’s side.
Her work was understanding,
however, she still wasn’t getting
paid for the time she was missing.
One day a social worker at Royal
Miranda has even designed a
website for the charity she started,
as well as a second website to help
other kids prepare for leg-length-

Tamara. “I wouldn’t have the first

well as the “blinkered protection” of

“encouraging niche retail.”
Several years ago, Andrup pre-
sented council with drawings of a

f 14-year-old Miranda Tymo-
schuk looks indistinguishable
from any other teenager, it’s
not by accident.
Miranda was born with a birth
defect to her left leg and since the
age of seven, she has spent much of
her life in and out of hospitals try-
ing to correct the problem.
Today, thanks to nine surgeries
and years with her leg bolted into
a titanium metal frame, she walks
without so much as a limp.
“They called me Robot at school,”
says the Thomas Haney secondary
ninth-grader. “But it was okay, I
like the name.”
Called posteromedial bowing, the
bones in Miranda’s lower left leg
– the tibia and fibula – were both
splayed outwards, and as she got
older, grew at a much slower rate
than her healthy right leg. Doctors
estimated that by the time she was
fully grown, her left leg would be
nearly eight centimetres shorter
than her right.
The condition is rare, affecting
about one in 100,000 births.
To fix Miranda’s leg, the bones
were repeatedly surgically broken
while pins were inserted so the
bones could be lengthened. The
“I couldn’t do it the first day,” says
her mom, Tamara. “I was so scared
I’d hurt her I had to get a neighbour
to come over and do it for me.”
After a while, it became just an-
other part of their daily routine.
“It didn’t really hurt,” says
Miranda. “You get used to it after
a while.”
The metal frame was so heavy,
she could barely lift her leg at first.
While her friends were in gym
class, Miranda would sit and watch,
and read her books.
“Thankfully she’s a bit of a book
worm,” says Tamara. “It didn’t af-
fect her lifestyle too much.”
Caring for Miranda became a full-
time job for Tamara. After Miran-
da’s father, Mark, died suddenly
of a heart attack nine years ago at
the age of 40, it was up to Tamara
to raise her, her brother Ethan, and
her sister Megan, alone.
Miranda would be at Royal Colum-
bian Hospital for a couple days to a
week for her surgeries. Between
surgeries there were three trips
a week to Eagle Ridge Hospital in
Port Moody for physiotherapy, as
well follow-ups with her surgeon in
New Westminster.
“It was hard finding someone to
Columbian Hospital offered Ta-
mara some coupons for gas. She
seemed almost apologetic, says Ta-
mara, because the coupons were all
she could offer her. While the pro-
vincial health care system covers
the cost for Miranda’s treatment,
there’s few resources available for
parents of sick children.
“Gas, parking, child care, it adds
up quick,” says Tamara.
The hardship her illness had
caused her family was not lost on
Miranda, however, and she decided
to start fundraising to help make
it easier for other parents to be by
their children’s side while under-
going treatment, the same way her
mom was there for her.
“I felt really thankful my mom
was able to be there for me,” says
Miranda. “She was always there for
me, so I wanted to pay it forward.”
Miranda has raised more than
$2,700 in the past two years, through
bake sales and bottle drives and the
Pay It Forward Fund she has cre-
ated is given to the hospital to be
used to help support the families of
pediatric patients.
“She does it all herself,” says Ta-
mara. “She tells me where to be
and where to go and what to get.”
but she is all over it.”
After nine surgeries, going under
the knife is old hat for Miranda.
Her final surgery, a relatively mi-
nor one to clean up some scar tis-
sue on her bones, was originally
scheduled for last Friday, but was
postponed at the last minute until
Jan. 28.
“I hope this will be the last,”
Miranda says. “I’m looking forward
to having everything done.”
A recent X-ray of her leg reveals
two still very malformed bones,
one with the remnant of a broken
screw lodged in it. On the out-
side, however, her left leg appears
normal, and more importantly, it
works just fine.
Miranda says she wants to be-
come a pediatric orthopedic sur-
geon when she grows up, or at the
very least, a pediatrician.
“I want to help out other kids,”
she says. “I think I would be a good
doctor because I have a lot of expe-
rience with doctors.”

concept for developing Albion flats
near the former ferry terminal. His
idea called for mixed use with docks
and condos and recreation area
along the Fraser River bank.
Andrup began working in com-
munications and public relations in
1971 then became involved in financ-
ing European ventures ranging
from oil and gas, mining, insurance
and luxury ship building.
He says that Maple Ridge has a
bright future and has “produced
more heroes than villains” while
it cares for the less privileged and
those who need community sup-
port.
South Haney community activ-
ist John McKenzie is also thinking
of running. He pressured the cur-
rent council to continue its clean
up of Northumberland Court, the
troubled condo complex at the foot
of Fraser Street.
The election takes place Nov. 19
when six district councillors, a may-
or and five school trustees will be
selected for the next three years.
• Andrup, given his decision to
seek a seat on Maple Ridge council,
will not longer be writing a column
for the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows
News.

Without merit
K
evin Falcon, a premier candidate for the
Liberal leadership, isn’t finding much
support for his proposal to pay teachers
based on merit, not experience.
His Master Teacher Incentive Plan is to iden-
tify and reward innovative educators, and help
them mentor other educators.
The system is similar to one being imple-
mented in Australia, and would likely use cri-
teria such as peer evaluation, parental input,
test results, and extracurricular school activi-
ties to identify exceptional teachers.
Predictably, local educators think the plan
is misguided. They have long protested school
rankings because they are weighted on test re-
sults, which they argue are no real measure on
teaching or learning ability.
Teachers don’t want to be paid for perfor-
mance, they want support in classrooms, and
respect, maybe even local bargaining for the
unions and the ability to go on strike again, not
to mention smaller class sizes.
Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school board
chair Ken Clarkson, a former teacher, points
out that merit pay hasn’t worked in the U.S.
He suggests putting the money proposed for
merit pay towards professional development
for teachers, as is done in Finland, a model for
education.
Merit pay could also be perceived as a ploy
to win over parents by giving them some sem-
blance of control.
But it really has nothing to do with improv-
ing public education. It’s unproven, and no one
is asking for it.
The money could be put to better use else-
where in the public education system, which,
for the most part, works well and ranks high

have shaken up the
B.C. Liberal party and
produced some seri-
ous suggestions for
reform.
For the post-Gordon
Campbell B.C. Liber-
als, accountability B.C. Views
is an unavoidable Tom Fletcher
theme. Shuswap MLA
George Abbott led the
way last week with a package of initia-
tives, including restructuring the way
the legislature works.
Abbott proposes moving the annual
throne speech, where the government
sets out its priorities for the year, from
the spring to the fall. Hardly an exciting
reform, but it leads to a couple of impor-
tant changes.
First, it implies that there will actually
be a fall legislative session, something
Campbell first instituted and then pro-
ceeded to truncate or cancel most years
to avoid opposition questions.
Abbott also wants to move the sched-
uled election date to the fall, as early as
2013 if the opposition will agree. Both
parties have noted that May elections
disrupt the spring budget process,
resulting in delays and uncertainty for
voters at the most critical time.
Long-time observers will recall the cir-
cus that resulted from the ruling party
controlling not only election timing but
also the legislature schedule. Govern-
ments could (and did) table reams of
complicated legislation at the end of the
ing a sane schedule on the legislature,
although it was easy when his govern-
ment held all but two seats. He then
squandered that progress by retreating
from the legislature when faced with his
first substantial opposition. Whoever
wins the leadership should restore that
commitment.
Christy Clark has taken up the cause
raised by independent MLAs, to restore
the proper function of legislative com-
mittees. To the average person trying to
pay the mortgage, this is also about as
exciting as watching a mailbox rust, but
it too is important.
Campbell tried this once in 2005. Stung
by the loss of north coastal seats, he
created a committee to hold hearings on
fish farming and gave the NDP a major-
ity. But the tradition of partisan warfare
dies hard, and the opposition members
ended up demanding a ban on open-pen
fish farms in five years, whether closed
containment is feasible or not.
Still, hearings were held in affected
communities and a genuine debate
ensued. Clark is proposing these touring
committees become the norm, and who-
ever wins should follow through with
that as well.
Kevin Falcon caused a stir last week
with his suggestion for merit pay
for teachers. Falcon cites Australia’s
program, with bonus payments offered
outside union contracts.
Here in B.C., teachers load up on post-
graduate degrees because they guar-
antee wage increases. Whether these
should proceed with this idea. It’s simi-
lar to what the Obama administration in
the U.S. has embraced, despite political
backlash from its unionized teachers.
This week the B.C. NDP contest starts
to take shape, after the entry of three
fringe candidates who haven’t done
much to address the policy vacuum at
the heart of the anti-Carole James revolt.
Just as the B.C. Liberals got
arrogant after nearly a decade
in power, the NDP grew
dangerously dependent on
the anti-Campbell theme that
brought them back to life.

ideas, it will be worth it.

THE NEWS/letters
Feeling a little
ripped off in Albion
EDITOR, THE NEWS:
Re: Here’s looking at you, Maple Ridge (Radio Haney,
Jan. 7).
With apologies to Claus Andrup, I am not as optimistic
as he is about the next five years.
I walked to the mailbox this week and found our B.C.
Assessment notice for this year.
I had read in the local paper that the assessments in
Maple Ridge were going up on the average of 5.54 per
cent.
Imagine my dismay to discover that our’s has gone up
almost 11.5 per cent.
I checked all of the neighbour’s assessments on epost
and, yes, we are all in the same boat.
We all live in the east Albion area, and for these kind
of usurious rates, we still have virtually no services or
amenities.
We have no grocery stores (apologies to the excellent
specialty store, Bruce’s Market), no pharmacy, doctor’s
office, gas station, and on and on the list goes.
We have overcrowded schools, unfinished roads (have
you driven 240th Street in the last couple of years) and oh,
where is the fire hall that we were going to get at 112th
Avenue and 240th St.?
I find it amazing that we have a municipal planning de-
partment, yet it is hard for people like myself to imagine
there is any plan for the Albion area other than approv-
ing subdivisions and creating another park.
Give us some local amenities and maybe I won’t feel so
ripped off by this assessment increase, which can only
result in a fairly major tax increase.

Campbell’s legacy something else
EDITOR, THE NEWS:
Re: Campbell’s legacy mostly positive
(B.C. Views, Jan. 5).
Tom Fletcher, ever the Gordon Camp-
bell cheerleader, has written a gushing
tribute to our outgoing premier. He
waxes warmly on the benefit of the car-
bon tax as an “incentive to find low-car-
bon energy alternatives.” which will be
“off-set by income tax cuts.”
He fails to mention that for the fis-
cal year 2009/10 the revenue from this
revenue-neutral tax was $225 million,
less than the tax cuts and credits, leav-
ing taxpayers with a multi-million dollar
deficit and no data as to the benefits de-
rived to date from this tax.
According to Mr. Fletcher, Mr. Camp-
bell’s tax cuts, starting with a 25 per cent
decrease in 2001, have done wonders for
the economy. Or have they?
After nine years of tax cuts, B.C. leads
the country in child poverty, with 14.7
per cent of our children living below the
poverty line.
Our local food bank saw its clientele
increase by 15 per cent last year, while
last March food banks in this province
served nearly 95,000 British Columbi-
ans.
The legacy of Campbell’s income tax
cuts has resulted in the bottom 70 per
cent of B.C. families earning less than
their parents’ generation, while the top
10 per cent now earn more than the en-
tire bottom 50 per cent combined.
Premier Campbell crows about his
tax cuts creating 400,000 jobs from 2001
education. The funding for education
has fallen from 20 per cent of the provin-
cial budget in 2001 to 15 per cent in 2010,
while the per-student grant, when cost
pressures (MSP increases, B.C. Hydro
increases, carbon off-set tax etc.) are in-
cluded, has fallen from $6,409 in 2005 to
$6,289 in 2010-11.
The B.C. Rail scandal is summarized
as the criminal acts of a couple of minis-
terial aides. Really, Mr. Fletcher? How
then do you explain the government’s
willingness to pay the defendants’ $6
million in legal fees, even though they
pleaded guilty?
Why did the government agree to
the reduced charges and house arrest?
What was the government’s motive in
ending this trial at all cost?
Why not let the trial continue so these
ministerial aides can be punished to
the fullest extent of the law and British
Columbians be assured that the govern-
ment had nothing to hide?
For many British Columbians, the $6
million would have been much better
spent on continuing the trial rather than
agreeing to this questionable plea bar-
gain.
Premier Campbell was forced to resign
not just because he lied to the people of
B.C. on the HST, Mr. Fletcher, that was
just the proverbial straw that broke the
camel’s back. It was Mr. Campbell’s neo-
Liberal agenda, with its emphasis on tax
cuts, reduced social spending, privati-
zation and wholesale sellout of assets
and resources, benefitting foreign multi
deficit, but failed to live up to that law
five out of 10 budgets, leaving whoever
takes over from him a $1.2 billion defi-
cit.
Federal equalization payments are
the criteria of a ‘have-not’ province
and the so-called Liberals received
five equalization transfers to the tune
of $2.4 billion dollars. Watching all
the financial fiascoes, from the “New
Era,” broken contracts, lawsuits that
still have not been settled, privatizing
hospital laundry, hospital cleaning –
which significantly increased costs
and decreased efficiency – MSP pre-
miums have gone from $894 million to
a whopping $1.741 billion, tuition fees
have tripled.
Let’s not forget the $346 million over-
run on the convention centre, the cor-
ruption and squandering of $18 million
in the B.C. Rail debacle.
It would seem that Mr. Fletcher is one
of the half dozen people in this province
who would like to believe this sham is
just about a couple of ministerial aids.
Millions on the fifth lane for the Port
Mann Bridge. Significant increases
for everything from nursing homes to
drivers licences and new fees such as
going to our parks. These are just a few
of the huge wastes of public funds this
man and government have overseen.
Not to forget all the important social
programs that have been callously cut
in the name of restraint.

es were made to save money or in-

A recent proposal by
B.C. Liberal leadership
hopeful Kevin Falcon
to institute a merit pay
system for teachers
has not been received
well in local quarters.
Falcon’s Master
Teacher Incentive Plan,
which he released last
week, would identify
and reward innovative
educators, and help
them mentor other ed-
ucators.

When postal delivery, and mail boxes came to Maple Ridge
R
ural postal deliv-
ery came to Maple
Ridge in 1938.
Well into the 1930s, as
everyone else in Maple
Ridge, the residents
of Hammond, living at
some distance from the
local post office, had to
go there to collect their
mail and post their let-
ters.
In the summer of 1937, Looking Back
180 residents of the Fred Braches
Hammond postal area
petitioned the postal
authorities in Vancouver to provide rural
delivery. That was granted, provided a suf-
ficient number of citizens would subscribe
living at least one quarter of a mile (400 m)
from the post office and prepared to pay $4
for a post office–supplied post box.
In February 1938, that goal was reached
and, as the Weekly Gazette of Feb. 4 reports,
a rural route was to start on Feb. 7.
In a letter the district director of postal
services urged the Hammond subscribers
to install their post box before the first de-
livery date and suggested that subscribers
advise their correspondents to change their
address from “Port Hammond, B.C.” (the
local post office) to “Rural Route No. 1, Port
Hammond, B.C.”
Whonnock was given a rural route deliv-
ery at about the same time, although there
is no mention in the Gazette except from a
small notice in the Feb. 4 issue asking read-
ers to notify the newspaper of any change
of address so as to ensure correct delivery
of the paper.
“Maybe,” the paper suggests, “you are
now getting your mail through the new
rural delivery services at Whonnock and
Thank You
Maple Ridge Towing (1981) Ltd. would
like to extend a very big “thank you”
to the local residents and businesses
in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows for
their continuous support over the years.
December 31, 2010 represented their 30th
Anniversary in business.
Owner, Randy Sorley, says it was a damp
foggy New Years Eve in 1980. Their first
call came in around 7:30 pm. and involved
a pick-up truck in the ditch on 232 Street.
Since that call that evening, Maple Ridge
Towing has serviced / towed more than
500,000 vehicles in the Maple Ridge and
Pitt Meadows area.
Maple Ridge Towing (1981) Ltd. was
formed with the amalgamation of two
local towing companies, one named
Danny’s Towing, at that time owned by
Danny Griffin (who went on to become
Mayor of Maple Ridge) and the towing
portion of Highway Auto Parts, owned at
that time by Don Warner.
In the beginning, Maple Ridge Towing
(1981) Ltd. was owned by four partners,
Dale Storer and son Rob Storer (current
owners of Carline Mufflertown) along
with Milton Sorley and son Randy Sorley.
After seven years together, the Sorley
family bought out the Storer’s shares
and continued on for another three years

Hammond.”
A surviving blank “tentative application
for box,” postmarked Oct. 5, 1937, tells us
about the planned Whonnock Rural Route
No. 1 – information that is no longer avail-
able for the first Hammond rural route. The
postal employee would leave the Whonnock
post office at 9:30 in the morning – except
Sunday – and go up Whonnock Road (272nd
Street). He would turn west on Dewdney
Trunk Road, go to and down Baker Road
(240th Street), and return to the Whon-
nock post office via Jackson Road (100th
before Randy bought out his father’s
interest. Randy continued to operate the
company for another eight years before his
daughter Dena Sorley joined the business
as a dispatcher and over the course of 12
years worked her way up to the present
position of General Manager.
In 1981, after a brief time in Carline’s office
at 207 & Lougheed, they relocated their
operation to a towing facility on McKay
Ave. with a 10’ x 20’ Atco trailer as an
office. After several years they purchased
a small office building and shop down
the street which worked well for them up
until three years ago when they outgrew
that location and built a state of the art
towing facility at the foot of McKay Ave.,
complete with a shop to work on their own
equipment, heated ident bays for the use
of the RCMP, monitored video surveillance
and enough office space for future
expansion.
Randy credits the success of Maple Ridge
Towing to the support of their local
customer base and the hard working team
that has worked with him over the years.
Maple Ridge Towing has had many long
term employees, some have been with the
company for over 20 years and have added
greatly to the professional image the
company has worked hard to portray.

Avenue), Spilsbury Road and Lougheed
Highway. Whonnock Rural Route No. 1,
therefore, not only served the residents of
Whonnock, but also Websters Corners and
Albion. The length of the route may have
assured a sufficient number of addresses
to warrant a rural delivery. Residents who
didn’t live on the “Main Post Road” could
also become a subscriber and purchase a
“Rural Post Box” for $4, which they would
install on the main road followed by the
postal employee. Residents could also share
a box, as shown by a surviving approved

Assistant Manager
The towing business is not an easy
business, since opening their doors for
business, Maple Ridge Towing has been
staffed and had equipment ready to roll 24
hours a day for the past 10, 950 days. The
men and women who work for them are
dedicated employees who work long hours
often under very difficult conditions.
Three years ago, Maple Ridge Towing
became aware that “Operation Rednose”
was looking to set up a base in the
Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows area. They
were having trouble securing a suitable
location to receive and dispatch their
calls. Randy and Dena talked it over and
decided to donate their new towing facility
including phone lines, office and shop
space for their use. “Operation Rednose”
is a program that offers a free, safe ride
Rural Mail Delivery application for one
post box (approved Dec. 31, 1937) showing
the names of three well-known Whonnock
neighbours: Messrs. T. Leaf, D. Bell, and G.
Tiberghien, all living on what is now 272nd
Street.
The postal authorities would stencil a
desired name on each post box. It seems
that house numbers were not used for mail
delivery; probably they did not yet exist for
rural areas.
The residents had to supply their own
posts to support the post boxes. They also
received a sheet of “Supplementary Instruc-
tions for Erecting Rural Mail Boxes.”
Weathered and with a few dents show-
ing the battering by several generations
of destructive adolescents, a few of these
original sturdy post boxes have survived
the years.
Unlike their American cousins, these box-
es have no “flags” to be lowered or raised
to signal the presence or absence of mail.
Instead, signals would be given by turning
the box on a base plate. A box turned paral-
lel with the road would tell that the box was
empty. When incoming or outgoing mail
had been deposited in it, the box would be
turned so that the door faced the road.
Indeed, not only did the boxes serve for
receiving mail, but the postal employees
would also collect outgoing mail, a custom
that seems to be continued until today by a
few old-timers.
In 1938, Mr. Moyer was given the first con-
tract for the new route at Hammond that
started on Feb. 7. In Whonnock, that honour
came to Mr. Charlton. His contract started
on Jan. 17, 1938, suggesting that he started
his run a few weeks before Mr. Moyer.

home alternative to people who have
been drinking and should not be driving.
The program is staffed by volunteers for
Friday and Saturday nights from the end of
November thru to and including New Years
Eve. Maple Ridge Towing saw this as a
way to assist “Operation Rednose” and
also a way to give back to the communities
that have been so supportive of them
over these past years. Many of Maple
Ridge Towing’s staff volunteers their time
driving, dispatching and organizing the
nights of operation. In the nine nights this
past year, “Operation Rednose” completed
over 350 safe rides home.

Turning fixer-uppers into dream homes

Maple Ridge twins star in Property
Brothers, a new series on the W Network
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter

T
he last house real estate agent Drew Scott
and his twin brother Jonathan looked at was
infested with mice and had 10 lazy cats as
tenants.
It didn’t matter. Beyond the faeces and damaged
walls, the pair spotted potential.
“A lot of home buyers can’t see through the prob-
lems,” says Jonathan, a contractor who stars with
his twin in Property Brothers, a new show on the
W Network that follows the pair as they help cou-
ples find, buy and transform extreme fixer-uppers
into the ultimate dream home.
The twins, who grew up in Maple Ridge, are ad-
ept at overhauling rundown, ugly properties and
have been honing their skills on crack shacks or
former growops for the past 15 years.
After graduating from Thomas Haney Second-
ary School, the brothers moved to Calgary for uni-
versity, where they bought a house with a down
payment of $250.
“The realtor told us it was impossible to buy a
place with $250 down,” Drew recalls.
They owned the house for less than a year, lived
rent free after recruiting their friends as tenants
and flipped it for a $50,000 profit.
With that money, the brothers bought another
house right away.
“A light bulb switched on and that’s how we Corus Entertainment
started,” adds Drew. Contractor Jonathan Scott and his twin brother Drew, a real estate agent, work together to find fixer-uppers to turn into buyers’ dream homes –

The show will have a strong con-

Participating artists include De-

along with Arthur Babiarz, Blaine

Friesen, a faculty member.
Hopefully, students contemplat-
ing an art career will come out to
view the show, and meet faculty
members, some of whom will be at-
tending the opening on Saturday,
from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Babiarz creates his pieces using
arraygraphy, a digitally controlled
visualization process.
“It is an attempt to allocate a for-
mula that organizes structure of

explains.
“However, a spontaneous aspect
is present in artworks and dem-
onstrates the artist collaboration

Coffee and theatre-side chats
Can arts and faith work
together?
Gallery 7 Theatre and Performing
Arts continues its Theatre Side Chat
series this week with the second of
three chats called Faith and Theatre:
Merging the Arts with Faith .
Lead by Dr. Lloyd Arnett, a
professor at Trinity Western
University’s School of the
Arts, Media and Culture, the
chat will be a crash theologi-
cal exploration of how the-
atre can supplement our faith
journey.
“Theatre Side Chat is a se-
ries of casual evenings fea-
turing music, refreshments
and stimulating discussions Arnett
related to the magic, power
and role of theatre,” explains
Gallery 7 Theatre’s Executive artistic
director, Ken Hildebrandt. “It’s an op-
portunity for the public to come out to
the House of James, pull up a chair,
enjoy a steaming brew of their favorite
coffee, and participate in an evening of
groovy music and an inspiring discus-
sion about the arts.”
Over the centuries, the church has
maintained a love-hate relationship
with theatre. At times, it has embraced
it as a powerful way to communicate
gospel truths, and at others, it has
rejected it as a flashpoint for heresy,
sinful behaviour and the spread of dis-
ease. Yet, theatre has the incredibility
ability to engage our hearts, souls and
minds, to explore themes that attempt
to make sense of our human experi-
ence and our relationship to God.
The chats will explore topics such
as: Is there such a thing as a Christian
theatre?; Is there a difference between
secular and religious theatre?; Or can
arts and faith work together?
A Christian-humanist theatre schol-
ar, Dr. Arnett teaches theatre history
and literature, playwriting, perfor-
mance, and courses in the integration
of faith-and-theatre.
A prolific director, his re-
cent productions have includ-
ed The Glass Menagerie, Cot-
ton Patch Gospel, and his own
work, Angels.
His articles and reviews
have appeared in various
journals and he has just com-
pleted editing the anthology,
Angels and Other Plays for
the Church.
The evening will also fea-
ture musical guest singer and
songwriter Joel Willoughby.
He has been writing and per-
forming in various bands for more
than 15 years, spending many years
drumming for Vancouver’s critically
acclaimed Maplewood Lane.
He has shared the stage with bands
and songwriters alike at folk fests, clubs
and coffeehouses around the North-
west U.S. and Canada. He’s released
two solo albums: Closer to Home and
Do You Have Something to Say? Songs
from both albums have been featured
on the CBC television show Heartland
and have been played on college radio
in Canada and the U.S.
• Faith & Theatre: Merging the Arts
and Faith takes place at 7:30 p.m. on
Saturday Jan. 15 at the House of James,

Flames shut
out by Steelers
Local junior B hockey team falls
5-0 on the road to Grandview
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter
The Ridge Meadows Flames grabbed
two of a possible four points last week-
end as they went up against teams from
the Pacific International Junior Hockey
League’s Tom Shaw Conference.
The Flames started the weekend on high
Friday night at home with a 4-2 win over
the North Delta Devils (19-12-4), before
falling 5-0 on the road to the Grandview
Steelers (20-13-3) Sunday night.
The Flames came
out guns a-blazin’
in the first pe-
riod Sunday
night against
Grandview,
firing 15
shots on
Steelers’ net-
minder Norbert
Biszczak.
However, it was
the Steelers who would score first, taking
a 1-0 lead late in the opening frame.
The Steelers returned the favour in the
second period, shelling the Flames’ goal
with 21 shots, chasing goalie Tyler Klas-
sen from net at the midway mark of the
period. Mackenzie Skapski came in relief
with the score 3-0, only to face a contin-
ued barrage of pucks, stopping 19 of 21
shots he faced.
The loss comes two days after the
Flames upset the North Delta Devils at
home, winning 4-2 Friday night despite
being out shot by the Devils 34 to 27. The
Devils managed to convert just one of
their six power play opportunities.
Matthew Keller scored a pair of goals for
the Flames, including the game-winner
to earn first-star honours, while Klassen
garnered the game’s second star for his
32-save performance.
Sean Kavanagh and Dustin Cervo had
the Flames other two goals, while Danny
Brandys picked up two assists. Matthew
Hargreaves, Matthew Bevilacqua, CJ
Legassic, Reece Rivard, and Paul Piluso
each added a helper.
The Flames remain in third place in the
Harold Brittain Conference with a record
of 16-19-0, good for 32 points.
• The Flames next home game is this
Friday against the Mission Icebreakers at
Planet Ice at 7:30 p.m.
Rustlers take Cloverdale

The Ridge Meadows Bantam C4 Hus-

Bantam C Tournament last month. The
final game against the Mission Vipers
was a hard fought, end-to-end contest
by two very close teams. After three
periods, the teams went into the five-
minute sudden death overtime period
tied 2-2.
The Hustlers put the winning goal
by the Vipers netminder with a mere
25.8 seconds left on the clock to win the
game and the tournament.

Maple Ridge goes 3-1 at
STM Chancellor tourney

staff reporter
The Maple Ridge Secondary
School Ramblers senior boys’
basketball team bounced back
from a December that saw the
team sidelined with injury to
go 3-1 at St. Thomas More’s
Chancellor Tournament.
The Ramblers opened the 16-
team tournament with a 64-60
loss to Tamanawis secondary,
knocking the team out of med-
al contention.
It was the first game action
for the team in almost month
after injuries kept the seven-
man squad sidelined since
Dec. 10.
“We only had five guys left
on the roster,” said head coach
Ken Dockendorf. “We only
have seven guys on the team
this year, so when we have in-
juries, it really affects us.”
Despite the small pool of tal-

ent the Ramblers have to draw
from this season, the skill lev-

thanks to senior point guard
Travis Eagle and six-foot-five
forward Jacob Durkovich.
The Ramblers shook off the
rust, however, and responded
with three straight wins at
the tournament to finish sixth
overall.

S taff Repor ter
Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows News
The Pitt Meadows Secondary
School senior boys’ basketball
team finished second at the
annual Abbotsford Snowball
Tournament last weekend,
falling in the final to South-
ern California’s Fairfax High
School.
Pitt Meadows opened the
tournament with a come from
behind win over the Mennonite
Education Institute Eagles on
Thursday.
The Air Force found them-
selves down 23-20 after the first
quarter, but were able claw
their back into the lead by half,
up 40-34.
MEI, a contender in the Fraser
Valley this year, used their
speed and three-point shooting
to keep the Marauders off bal-
ance the whole game, said Pitt
coach Rich Goulet.
Pitt went up 59-40 in the third
quarter, only to see MEI hit four
three-point plays to narrow the
game to within six points.
Malcolm Williams finished
with 26 points, while Trevor
Severinski contributed 25
points. Mitsu Iwai added 12
points, while Matt Blackaby
put up 11 points.
The Air Force put forward
a much more focussed effort
Friday in their 74-53 win over
South Kamloops. Pitt played a
near-perfect first quarter, tak-
ing a 34-15 lead, and enabling
the team to play its bench for
most of the game.
Blackaby and Williams were
unstoppable in the first half,
finishing with 24 and 22 points
respectively.
See Pitt, p24
47, and Penticton 52-46 before
the weekend was done.
“I was really happy with how
we played,” said Dockendorf.
“Every game was physical,
thankfully we were able to
keep everyone healthy.
“I don’t even know how we
made it through.”
The Ramblers next face the
top-ranked RC Palmer Grif-
fins at home this Friday in ex-
hibition action before starting
Abbotsford West AAA league
play Saturday night against

Shredder spells doom for old drives
by J eff Nagel
Black Press
A provincial government
warehouse in Surrey is once
again prepared to take your old
hard drive or other data storage
devices and grind them up for
recycling.
See Over The cheap service – $2.50 or
less per device – is popular af-
250 ter the Christmas influx of new
tech gifts and ideal for anyone
Exhibitors! wanting to recycle old electronic
gear but afraid their personal in-
formation, passwords and other
data might fall into the wrong
THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY hands.

9:00 am - 4:30 pm 9:00 am - 4:30 pm 9:00 am - 4:30 pm safely erase stored informa-
tion, an environment ministry
PRESENTED BY
BY:
13 th Annual spokesman said, adding the
service guarantees complete de-
struction beyond any chance of
data retrieval.
The Shredder – also nick-
named EDDIE for Evil Destroyer
of Delicate Internal Electron-
ics – chews up electronic gear
like hard drives and spits out
coin-sized pieces that are then
recycled.
The service, introduced in 2007,
www.agricultureshow.net is credited with keeping more
info@agricultureshow.net than 80,000 kilograms of waste
electronics out of landfills.
It also accepts various storage
media, such as CDs, DVDs, flop-
ADMISSION $10 • UNDER 12 FREE py disks and memory sticks. See
FREE PARKING the complete list of what can be
COURTESY OF shredded at: http://www.pss.gov.
bc.ca/air/media-destruction-
general-public.html.
The Lower Mainland’s Shred-
der is based at the government’s
Asset Investment Recovery
warehouse at 8307 – 130 Street in
Surrey and is open from 8:30 to
3:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.
The warehouse also collects
at no charge items like comput-
ers, monitors, laptops, printers,
fax machines, stereos and televi-
sions for e-waste recycling.
E-waste recycling expanded
earlier this year to include more
audio and video electronics as
well as telephones. For complete
list of what can be recycled, see:
http://www.encorp.ca/electron-
ics/acceptable.
The expansion also means a
range of new items are also now
subject to environmental han-
dling fees to pay for the e-waste
recycling system, which aims
to keep electronics out of local
landfills or being exported for
salvage in dangerous conditions
overseas.
Gas prices jump again
Gasoline prices in Metro
Vancouver have risen about 15
per cent this year and are now
at their highest levels since
mid-2008.
Average pump prices in the
region jumped a couple of cents
to $1.20 per litre, according to
tracking site vancouvergaspric-
es.com.
Gas prices hit $1.50 per litre in
July of 2008 in the wake of a ma-
jor spike in oil prices that year.
But Michael Ervin, a petroleum
consultant and vice-president at
the Kent Group, doesn’t see pric-
es getting that high again in the
coming year.
“I don’t think we’re going to
see any quick return to that,”
he said, “2011 is not going to be
characterized by any tremen-
dous volatility in crude oil pric-
es.”
Ervin said the depressed U.S.
economy has helped curb de-
mand and ensure there’s plenty
of surplus refining capacity in
North America, helping keep
consumer gas prices in check.
Prices in B.C. are above the na-
tional average of $1.11 per litre.
Crime rate rankings
Violent and property crime has
steadily fallen in recent years in
B.C., but most of Canada enjoys
still lower crime rates.
B.C. ranked eighth among Ca-
nadian provinces for crime in
2009, according to the B.C. Prog-
ress Board’s annual report.
The combined violent and
property crime rate fell 27 per
cent from 9.8 crimes per 100 peo-
ple in 2000 to 7.2 in 2009.
NDP public safety critic Mike
Farnworth noted pre-trial jails
are 200 per cent over capac-
ity and courts are clogged with
cases because of a shortage of
judges, prosecutors and other
staff, causing some cases to be
tossed out of court.
