Despite their love ofMaple Ridge, Kathieand Ed Chiu are willingto take on the biggestchallenge of theircareers.

by Maria [email protected]

They came to MapleRidge as a family of five,but when Kathie and EdChiu move to Ontario in acouple months time theywill leave behind 13 fam-ily members.The Chius have been

given farewell ordersfrom the Salvation Armyafter serving in MapleRidge for 17 years andoverseeing the expansionof programs and servicesto the towns down-and-out population.The Chius will be

moving to London, Ont.with their two youngestchildren, leaving behindtheir adult son, adult twindaughters, two sons-in-law, and eight grandchil-dren.But they have been

presented with what theydescribe as a huge chal-lenge overseeing theCentre of Hope in London,which includes in oneagency almost the samenumber of major socialagencies that exist inMaple Ridge.The Centre of Hope

includes a 267-bed shelter,a medical detox centrewith 18 beds, 100 tran-sitional beds, a familyhealth team with doctorsand nurses, and a foodbank.Kathie said she and Ed

are overwhelmed by thetask ahead.Were quite shocked

the Army would entrust[such a] huge responsibil-ity on us, she said.Kathie said she and her

family love Maple Ridge

and when she and Edretire, they plan to return.Im totally going to

miss the community net-work, Kathie said, addingthat there is a willingnessamong the local socialagencies to co-operate andnot be territorial.Ed added theres is a

mutual encouragementamong service providersthat makes their workeasier.But as ordained pastors

of the Salvation Army,they have committed to gowhere they are asked to with some negotiation,Kathie explained.The Army has treated

us very well, Kathie said.Theres no reason for usto say you cant moveus.The Chius moved to

the Lower Mainland in1990 after being stationedin Saskatchewan for twoyears, and they have beenstationed in Maple Ridgesince 1996.

When they arrived,the Salvation Army waslocated on 119th Avenueby the Bingoplex.In 2000, Kathie and Ed

started noticing a sharpincrease in demand fortheir services morehomelessness, more mar-ginalized people, and acrystal meth epidemic.There were couples liv-

ing in cars, people gettingevicted,morepeople liv-ing riskylifestyles they evenfound awomanliving in aboat withher twochildren after leaving anabusive relationship.The Caring Place opened

in its current build-ing at 222nd Street andLougheed Highway inApril 2003.The centre has a 25-bed

year-round shelter, a cold,wet weather shelter, and15 long-term beds. Theyalso serve up to 9,000meals per month and holda monthly health clinic.Creating what is now

known as the Caring Placehas been a big accomplish-ment for this couple.But Kathie said the big-

ger accomplishment hasbeen seeing people who

use theirservices getback ontheir feet.Over

recentyears,Kathie saidthe Armyhas real-ized it has

to offer more than threehots and a cot; rather,they have to help peoplementally, physically, andspiritually.Recently Kathie said

she was praying withtwo young women at the

Caring Place who wereenmeshed in a life ofdrugs and prostitution,and she knew she wasplanting a seed in theirlives that would help getthem back on their feet.What a greater priv-

ilege can there be thanspeaking words of lifeinto their reality, shesaid.Both Kathie and Ed are

from Toronto, and thereturn allows them to benear Eds aging parents.Moving back east will

also mean a culturaladjustment, Kathie said.On the West Coast,people work to live,while in the Toronto-area, people live to work.She said their family hasadjusted to the morelaid back lifestyle andwonders how peoplewill react when she andEd arent always in theirArmy uniforms a cul-tural shift she hopes tolead out east.

Federal election

Sixty per cent of voters castballots in the Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission federalriding.by Maria [email protected]

While an orange crush sweptsome parts of Canada onMonday night, the blue wavepicked up momentum in theriding of Pitt Meadows-MapleRidge-Mission.Randy Kamp, the Conservative

incumbent MP received 54.3 percent of the vote, 2.52 per centmore votes than last time in the2008 election.Kamp received 28,803 votes

from electors in the three com-munities, up from 26,512 voteshe received in the 2008 election.Kamp joins a majority

Conservative government thatwon 167 seats in the Houseof Commons with a new NDPopposition made up of 102 MPs.The Liberals were reduced to

34 seats from 77, and the BlocQuebecois dropped from 49 toonly four seats.British Columbia now has 21

Conservative MPs, 12 NDP MPs,two Liberals, and the first GreenMP, party leader Elizabeth Mayfrom Saanich-Gulf Islands.Kamp said hes spoken with

a few Conservative colleaguessince the election.Theyre all pretty excited

about the possibilities and sta-bilities it brings, Kamp said.Not having to plan for another

election within a year or twomakes an MPs job easier, headded.

Being a part of a majoritygovernment wont change howKamp will work at the locallevel, he said. Kamp will con-tinue to follow the same values

at his office by serving his con-stituents, he vowed.Kamp will also continue to

work with the local municipalcouncils to help them set prior-ities accordingto what grantsare available, hesaid.But, with the

Conservativegovernment vow-ing to eliminatethe deficit by2014, Kamp saidthere will befewer grant pro-grams unlikewhen the stimulus funding wasput in place during the reces-sion.Kamp said he expects the

budget put forward before the

government fell to be the firstorder of business when theHouse of Commons sits again.It is expected that the house

will reconvene on May 30.In 2008, there

were 51,308 bal-lots cast locally.That number wasup slightly in thiselection with thefour candidatesgetting 53,164votes amongthem. There were158 rejected bal-lots.With 18,835

votes, Craig Speirs, who ran forthe NDP in this riding, got 1,941more votes in this election thanhis predecessor Mike Bockingreceived in 2008.

The results for Liberal candi-date Mandeep Bhuller reflectedthe national Liberal trend, andhe ended up with 2,730 votes,down from Dan Olsons 2008campaign that garnered 3,394votes and fourth place.Green Party candidate Peter

Tam came fourth inMondayselection, unlike his predecessorMike Gildersleeve, who was inthird place with 7.49 per cent ofthe vote.Tams final vote count came

to 2,629, just under five percent of counted ballots.The advance poll was held on

April 22, 23, and 25 and 6,247electors in Pitt Meadows, MapleRidge, and Mission cast theirballots in this option.In Canada, 2,056,001 cast bal-

lots in advance.

Greens and Liberals would have faredmuch better if young people coulddecide who governed Canada.


Like in the actual federal election,Randy Kamp would be MP if studentscould have voted, but the marginbetween him and his rival NDP candidatewould have been narrower.During Student Vote, a program organ-

ized by Elections Canada, students atseven schools in Maple Ridge and PittMeadows, and four in Mission, gaveKamp 35.8 per cent of their vote whereashe received 54.3 per cent in the election.NDP candidate Craig Speirs received

31.1 per cent of the student vote com-pared to 35.5 per cent in the election.Green candidate Peter Tam received

21.9 per cent from students while hereceived five per cent in the May 2 elec-tion. From students, Liberal candidateMandeep Bhuller received 11.2 per centwhere his actual result was 5.2 per cent.Half a million students across Canada

cast their ballots in the Student Vote andthese resulted in a minority governmentfor the Conservatives with 128 seats, 113seats for the NDP, 48 for the Liberals, fivefor the Bloc Quebecois, and five for theGreens. The actual numbers were 167,102, 34, four, and one, respectively.Holly Burrows and Sarah Fruean organ-

ized the student vote at Pitt MeadowsSecondary this year. They also arrangedto have the four candidates come into theschool and speak to the students on theirissues.

While all the candidates spoke wellto the students, Burrows said Tam wasable to relate to them and build a rapportgiven his experience as a Scout commis-sioner.He really communicated when he

spoke, Burrows said.Students study government in social

studies at school, Burrows said, but theydont always relate the information toreal life. Having the Student Vote eventhelped them gain a better understandingof the political system.The election is supposed to mirror a

real election, but its up to each teachersdiscretion to allow their students to cometo the library to vote, said Paula Cyr,who organized the vote at WestviewSecondary. More online at www.mrtimes.com, click on News

A group of area citizens and politicians are workingto bring Big Brothers Big Sisters back.by Amy [email protected]

A gaping hole was left when BigBrothers Big Sisters (BBBS) sus-pended operations in Maple Ridge inFebruary.Now a group, which formed prior

to the suspension, has given them-selves a new name and is trying toget the local BBBS reinstated.The organization operated largely

on gaming funds according to RickHoward, co-chair of the new Coalition for Kids Sake.A number of kids in Maple Ridge were receiving Big

Brothers Big Sisters services and now, no more, he said.The Abbotsford office, which ran satellite offices in

Maple Ridge and Mission, have identified what Howardsaid are the 13 most important files, and are willing toservice those from Abbotsford.But more kids and families need help, and Howard said

this group is a necessary service in Maple Ridge.When the local chapter was suspended, co-chair

Patricia Anderson said the group got together right awayto circulate a petition since the Abbotsford office toldthem community support was not present in Maple Ridgeto keep that office open.We proved to them that the community support was

there, she said. The awareness just wasnt there.It is such a needed cause, she added. There are a lot

of single-parent families that really need that.We cant allow our kids in Maple Ridge to not have

access to these services, agreed Howard, who said theywant the organization back up and running by June.

Opinion

Oh sure, put your email addressin with the column so people canwrite you nasty letters at home.Actually, I dont mind; I think a

column should stimulate debate,even if it includes words suchas loathsome, malignant, cheap,shameless, and unprofessional.This in response to my descrip-

tion of Randy Kamp pushing aspecial needs child out of the wayto get into a photo, which he didnot, of course.I mean, who would really

believe this scenario, besides K. Brown the writerof a recent letter to the editor.Knowing I would generate some response, I did

render a pre-emptive apology in a subsequent col-umn explaining that I was referring to the photoopportunities so many of our candidates seek out,the old kissing babies stereotype.The letter was also sent to the publisher,

to Herr Kamp, and to my mother, an OntarioConservative who chewed me out on the phonefor an hour after her nap at the home.Mr. Brown took the opportunity of chastising

me to get out his soapbox and preach about ourParliamentary democracy [which is] an adversar-ial system of government, our free and opensociety, common decency, the ethics of jour-nalism blah, blah, blah which I found ironic inthat the writer seems to be a Conservative.He points out that we have opposing political

view points. I do have opinions that would prob-ably place me a little left of centre.So lets assume he is a Conservative, the irony

being that he was defending a government theHarper Government that made transparencya dirty word, that was found in contempt ofParliament, that went crying to the gov-gen andprorogued Parliament twice when things got alittle uncomfortable, and that pissed or promisedto piss away our money on rubber bullets andadvertising, prisons, and fancy fighter jets.Steve Harper, dictator, made a mockery of dem-

ocracy; and you know what?

He gets to do it all again for fourmore years with and this is thescary part a majority govern-ment. I think its time to move toCairo.Its an ugly business, politics,

a slow-moving monster that eatstoo much and craps too much anddeserves to die; but then wedhave to contend with somethingelse this country wont runitself.So keep on writing. Im flattered

that people might think Id haveanything to do with the outcome of an election.The guys at Kamps office think Im more of a

help than a hindrance. And just to prove it, wegot Randy back, as well.Heck, Mr. Brown ought to be praising, not con-

demning me. Im performing a service here.Thank you, as well, to another fan who calls

me a clueless, ignoramous because of my com-ments about Jehovahs Witnesses who, he said,would NEVER (his capitals) mention Jesus atanyones door as I claimed they did.He advised me to contact my local JW cult (his

word), which I tried to do, using several numbersin the book; but apparently they dont like to bebothered at home.I did go online, and in two videos heard

Witnesses refer to Christ as the reigning priestand king who commanded Witnesses to preachdoor to door.So there, JH, you should learn some facts

before you critizize [sic] and learn to spell.Oh, and by the way, the local Kingdom Hall did

return my call, and I gave them your name forthe Armageddon checklist.PS: My deadline and good taste dont allow me

the time to comment at length on the election.Suffice it to say that I am happy for ElizabethMay and my daughter who lives in her riding. Iam perplexed about what went down in Quebec;maybe Jack should change the partys acronymto the NQDP; and kudos to Speirhead for giving itthe old college try.

Our View

Thanks to allordinary folks

Congratulations and thanks are inorder, all around, from top to bottom.

But now that we have a majoritygovernment back in Ottawa, it is moreimportant than ever to establish whois at the top and who constitutes thebottom in our national political hier-archy.

Well start at the top.Congratulations and thanks to all the

folks in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadowswho made the effort to go to the polls,either on election day or through one ofthe many added opportunities to vote inadvance or with special ballots.

By rationally considering the issuesand choosing the candidates who bestsuit each individuals vision for whoand what is best for the country, ordin-ary citizens make the machinery ofdemocracy run, and are responsible forsteering Canada into the future.

Next up in the congratulatory peck-ing order are the people more ordin-ary folks who work with candidatesand/or political parties during electioncampaigns (and often between them, aswell) to disseminate the messages thatvoters need to make informed choices.Everyone who takes democracy serious-ly owes those people a debt of thanks.

On the next rung down the ladderare the candidates. Congratulations toRandy Kamp for his convincing vic-tory on Monday. Its clear that histhoughts and concerns most reflectthose of the people of Maple Ridge andPitt Meadows, but he has a difficultjob ahead, knowing that he will haveto serve many masters whose personalviews differed more towards his oppon-ent candidates all of whom we thankfor their time and effort, and for theiroffer of service to their community andtheir country.

And finally, on the bottom not thetop is yet another ordinary citizen,Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Wecongratulate him on his parliamentarymajority, and thank him for his pastservice to our country, and for his offerto continue serving all of the citizens ofCanada. It wont be an easy job to bal-ance the needs and desires of all of thecountrys 34 million people.

He deserves to know that hisemployers all the people of Canada are appreciative of his efforts.

Dear Editor,The recent letter by Ms.Rosenau [Save

farms, infill instead, April 26 Letters,TIMES] was interesting but strayed fromreality.The reason the Albion Flats is being

looked at for commercial development isbecause the people who own the vacantland in the core refuse to sell it or investanything to improve it.Much is owned by offshore investors

who refuse to do anything and are thecause of our stagnation.Unfortunately the choice isnt between

Albion and the downtown core butbetween Albion, the Kwantlen lands ineastern Maple Ridge, or the Pitt Meadowsproperty on Lougheed Highway just eastof Harris Road.If Albion isnt developed, one of the

others will be, the downtown core isnteven in the mix.The only choice that will see tax rev-

enue come to Maple Ridge is Albion andfor that reason alone council must support

its exclusion from the ALR and welcomethe much needed investment opportunity.If the Kwantlen develop their land,

Maple Ridge will never be the same. Wewill become the poster child for urbansprawl.With respect to those who see this as a

loss of good farmland, it isnt.The reason it should be excluded has

little to do with the residential develop-ment surrounding it, and everything to dowith the fact that it has a serious drainageproblem: its just too wet and the remedyis too expensive.Instead of stalling much needed

development in Albion, why not ask whyso much other good agricultural land inMaple Ridge is allowed to sit fallow, withnothing being done with it.Answering that question would be much

more productive.Graham Mowatt, Maple Ridge

Dear Editor,Mission residents rejected the $300-mil-

lion Stave Lake P3 water treatment facil-ity for good reason.The proposal is of no benefit for current

residents and will saddle us with debt fordecades to come.The proposed new water line doesnt

do anything to upgrade Missions exist-ing aging infrastructure, despite evidencethere are leaks in the system which willneed to be fixed.Instead the costly water line takes a

sharp turn west to Silverdale. The propos-al intends to give an unknown corpora-tion control of the operations of our waterfor 25 years or even longer.The costs of water to residents would

be tied to the cost of hydro.

This, at a time when hydro rates areskyrocketing, means higher water costsfor residents.Simply put, the Stave Lake P3 pro-

posal is a public bailout intended to savedevelopers in Silverdale and Abbotsfordhundreds of millions in infrastructurecosts, and we havent even been toldwhat the sewer costs will be.Citizens Against Urban Sprawl Society

(CAUSS) believes that Mission shouldlearn to live within its means rather thanforcing growth at any cost.We simply cannot afford the mas-

sive infrastructure costs associated withsprawl-water.A truly sustainable community must

live within basic economic and environ-mental limits, and must ensure that thepublic interest is not overridden by cor-porate agendas.

Tracy Lyster, CAUSS, Mission

Reaction

Christians havethick skin, TimDear Editor,I was reading Tim Tylers column

[Nuptials, hockey dwarf election,April 29, TIMES].Lucky for Tim, we live in a free

country where he has the freedom topoke fun at almost anything.Also lucky for him, we Christians

are not fanatic as some other religionsare, and we are not going to put adeath threat on his life after he pokedfun of My Lord and Saviour (who bythe way also died for him).Lucky for me, he is risen from the

dead.But would it be possible for Tim

and anyone else to have some respectfor feelings and beliefs of otherCanadians?Oh, and by the way, Moses house

rules are also rules here in Canada,you shall not kill, you shall not stealor gossip about others.And Jesus rule: Do unto others

what you want done unto you.Really, Tim, if you have nothing bet-

ter to do, do not write at all.Geeske de Boer, Pitt Meadows

Dear Editor,I was at an all-candidates meeting

recently and my incumbent ConservativeMP Randy Kamp was asked about all thenew prisons and the law.He made it clear that people who break

the law should be in prison.As far as I know, 52 per cent of

Canadians want pot legalized, and Ibelieve the figure for B.C. is 68 per cent.But its against the law.I wonder how you are going to feel

when your mother or father or son ordaughter is put in one of our brand newjails for smoking a product that is as com-mon as booze never mind the fact that itwill cost Canadians more than $300,000 ayear to keep them there.The Conservatives are so out of step

with Canadian values on so many issuessuch as ethics, pot, global warming, publichealth care, civil rights (G20), etc.A Conservative majority should be a

frightening thing to most Canadians. Itwas painful to watch as a minority gov-ernment.

Maple Ridge ChristianSchool builds its mostelaborate set ever for aperiod play on stage thisweekend.


Students have beengetting lessons in goodposture at Maple RidgeChristian School.This has been in antici-

pation of their latesttheatre production whichis set in a time whenclothing was much morerestrictive than the casualgarbs worn today.The play in two acts,

Little Women of OrchardHouse, is written by DavidLongest, and the schoolstheatre arts teacher RegParks is in charge of theproduction.The play is an adapta-

tion of Little Women byLouisa M. Alcott andintroduces the playwrightto the audience as a char-

acter.The play takes place

during the American civilwar, and learning to walkand act in period costumes floor-length ballroomdresses with corsets andtuxedos presented somechallenges for the 34actors who are studentsfrom Grades 2 to 12.The students had to be

fitted and tucked, Parkssaid, and they had to getused to cumbersome andstiff clothing and how tomove in it.But the students have

enjoyed wearing the per-iod clothing, Parks said,

because its so differentfrom what they weartoday.The set is a house that

was built by the parentsand takes over the schoolstage.The set is probably the

most elaborate weve doneby far, Parks said.

Little Women of OrchardHouse runs on Thursday,Friday, and Saturday at7:30 p.m. with a matineeon Saturday at 2:30 p.m.Tickets are $15 for adultsand $12 for seniors andstudents. Maple RidgeChristian School is locatedat 12140 203rd St.

Maple Ridge Christian School wraps up a production of Little Women ofOrchard House this weekend.

A Maple Ridge resident has started hisjourney to becoming a professionalmusician by entering a contest.

by Amy [email protected]

Thomas Haney student Kyle Stibbsknows he has a long road ahead of him.But he is preparedto work hard andkeep going toachieve his dreamof being a profes-sional musician.The 17-year-

old plays guitar,piano, the uku-lele, mandolin,and even thebass. Guitar isdefinitely theone Im best at,he said. But Idrather be betterat piano. Guitarcomes easy tome.He has put his

skills and musicto the test byentering the Live at Squamish online con-test. This is a weekend-long music festivalhappening on Aug. 20 and 21, and focus-ing on supporting local bands by askingmusicians to submit their work. The pub-lic then votes for its favourites.Its a really cool idea, said Stibbs.

You submit any kind of visual and audio,and anyone can log in with your Facebook

account and vote, he added.It is interesting to Stibbs to see the dif-

ferent levels of talent and professionalismin the province, and he is glad to be giventhe chance to be part of it.I dont want to be this cliche of the

small-town kid, he said. Lets face it,Maple Ridge isnt the easiest place to geta venue.Stibbs admitted he is not looking at this

competition with an overly optimistic viewof winning. But

he knows theexposure fromthe competi-tion is goodfor him, andwill hopefullyopen doors.People are

on that sitelooking forother musi-cians, hesaid. It isharder to getyourself outthere than itis to write thesongs. Its apretty dog eatdog world forsure.

Stibbs hopes to take a year off next yearto make some money and work on hismusic, which he describes as indie-acous-tic on the brink of becoming pop. Then,hes hoping to attend Emily Carr to studyart and music.For now, people can vote for him until

Friday, May 6 at http://metropresents.strutta.com/entry/165539.

While many were at the home show,some local citizens spent Saturdaymorning digging through debris.

by Amy [email protected]

Bottles, cans, needles,clothes, and tons of yardwaste were just a few ofthe items found by thePort Haney NeighbourhoodChange Initiative volun-teers on Saturday.They spent four hours

starting to clean up a pro-posed park space on 223rdStreet at St. Anne Avenue.Were getting rid of the

garbage, said ChristineDiGiamberardine, MapleRidge-Pitt Meadows parksand leisure services staffliaison. Were creating a sense of prideand ownership in the neighbourhood.Members of the group were concerned

this area was kind of run down, saidMichelle Ninow, a consultant hired by theDistrict of Maple Ridge to help with the

Port Haney revitalization.Everything we do is about improving

the neighbourhood.Ninow recognized it was a big job they

were taking on, and Saturday was just thestart.

Local resident and care-taker of Haney House TomLittle, said he was volun-teering to help improve thecommunity.I just want to make

people more aware of it,he said. So it doesnt lookso shabby.DiGiamberardine said

this clean up will helpresidents be able to sayI live here, I care. I canwalk through here, Im notafraid of tripping over gar-bage or anything.The Port Haney

Neighbourhood ChangeInitiative aims to foster the

development of neighbourhood leadership,proactively engage residents and stake-holders, and create a vision for the neigh-bourhood, among others.Anyone can join, and for more informa-
