The Conservative MP for PittMeadows-Maple Ridge-Mission was re-elected Monday for his fourth term.by Maria [email protected]

The crowd at Randy Kamp’s campaignoffice was jubilant as the results came inshowing their candidate leading in thePitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission ridingand a majority government for the federalConservative Party.

As the incumbent MP for Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission, Kamp told theTIMES he was “excited” about being partof a majority government.

If the Conservatives hadn’t won amajority, the alternative would have beensomething “pretty chaotic,” – “either anunstable minority or a coalition,” he said.

“People just wanted some stability,”Kamp added.

With a majority of the polls counted lateMonday night, it appeared Kamp had alarger majority than he received in 2008.

With 245 out of 258 polls in at pressdeadline, Kamp had 27,549 votes, NDPcandidate Craig Speirs had 17,964 votes,Liberal candidate Mandeep Bhuller had2,616 votes, and Green candidate PeterTam had 2,503 votes.

On doorsteps while campaigning, Kampsaid he heard from many people. Whilesome weren’t necessarily Conservatives,they gave the Tories credit for managingthe economy well.

Serving his riding and his constituents isa high priority for him, Kamp said.

“We really take seriously our respon-sibility to provide services,” Kamp said.“We put a lot of effort into the constitu-ency end of it...we don’t just do it to getelected.”

Kamp wouldn’t speculate on what rolehe might have in the new Conservativemajority government, and he said he’ll dowhatever he’s asked to do.

But having a majority government willmake it easier “to move things through,”Kamp said. He cited abolishing the long-gun registry within a hundred days andgetting the proposed crime bills throughthe house as two of the priorities theConservative government will have.

While Kamp said there were posi-tive signs during the election for theConservative Party, “campaigns arealways stressful.”

Kamp said he expected the Liberals andBloc Quebecois to retain more seats, andhe said the NDP opposition will contain alot of “rookies,”

“When you get to election day...youcreate all these scenarios how you couldlose,” Kamp told his party faithful.

Randy Kamp ran first in 2004, and wasre-elected in 2006 and 2008.

As an MP, Kamp served as officialopposition critic for Fisheries and Oceanson the Pacific Coast, and ParliamentarySecretary to the Minister of Fisheries andOceans.

In the last election, he got just over 50per cent of the votes from electors in PittMeadows, Maple Ridge, and Mission.

Kamp grew up in Maple Ridge, graduat-ing from Maple Ridge Secondary in 1971.He holds a Bachelor’s degree in theologybut later studied linguistics.

He worked as a department store man-ager, an assistant pastor at Maple RidgeBaptist Church, and as the constituencyassistant to Grant McNally.

Kamp has been married to his wife Ruthfor 35 years, and they have three adultchildren and seven grandchildren.

Outdoor show fit well withthe rest of the event, saysorganizer Cass Winder.by Maria [email protected]

The weather was less thancooperative during the setup ofthe Ridge Meadows Home Show,but when the doors opened tothe public, the sun was out.

The Ridge Meadows HomeShow, featuring its first outdoorshow in conjunction with the

indoor exhibitors, a midway,and a psychic fair, welcomedabout 20,000 visitors from Fridayto Sunday.

“We had to go head-to-headwith mother nature,” CassWinder, organizer of the homeshow, said about the set-up.

With 18 hours straight of rainbefore the show, the groundswhere the Outdoor Lifestyle andLeisure Show was situated need-ed some sand to keep it frombeing too mucky.

“There’s no mud problem thatsand can’t solve,” Winder said.

The District of Maple Ridge

stepped up to problem-solve atthe home show, Winder said,for example, with the sand andother access issues.

“This show is so reliant on thesupport that we receive from somany people,” she elaborated.

Winder has been overseeingthe home show since 1995, andsaid every year she learns some-thing new.

This was the first year whenthe home show held the OutdoorLifestyle and Leisure Show.

Winder said feedback regard-ing the outdoor show indicatedit fits well with the overall show.

About 200 community mem-bers volunteered at this year’sshow, including 100 students.

Local candidates Craig Speirs, MandeepBhuller, and Peter Tam lost toConservative member Randy Kamp.by Amy [email protected]

The mood was simultaneously jubli-ant and downcast at the NDP office onMonday night, but federal candidate CraigSpeirs had everyone chanting “Craig, Craig,Craig” over and over by the end of his con-cession speech.

“We had such a great time here,” saidSpeirs of his campaign. “We’ve got some-thing to build on here.”

He noted that Conservative candidateRandy Kamp is a “long-standing MP” andreceived a laugh from the crowd when heput his arm around his wife Diane and said“the riding’s not quite ready yet.”

He expressed his congratulations toKamp, who will now be entering his fourthterm as MP for Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission.

Speirs, who is also a Maple Ridge coun-cillor, said he has not decided anythingabout his future yet. Right now he’s justlooking forward to getting out in the gar-den, planting some seeds, and enjoying thesummer. He said it was too early for himto decide on a further political course, butdescribed this NDP campaign as one thatwas “incredibly positive.”

“We taught a lot of people what cam-paigning is all about,” he said. “We’vereally got a base for our future.”

“At the beginning of our campaign I said‘what’s the worse that could happen?’and this is not it.” The crowd clapped andcheered in response.

At Peter Tam’s house, the atmospherewas also very supportive, and Tam saidthat for him, this is just the beginning.

“Overall, I’m pretty happy with the cam-paign,” he told The TIMES.

“We’re going to be taking on a lot ofGreen initiatives,” he said. “We want to getinvolved with a lot of things locally, so wecan be a bit more prominent.”

It was a learning experience for him, headded, noting that the campaign needs tostart earlier. “We need to get our fundrais-ing going. The thing with the Green is thatwe’re very limited in our funding.”

Liberal candidate Mandeep Bhuller saidit was a “troubling loss” as his supporterswatched the Conservatives and NDP grabseat after seat across the country.

“Waking up this morning, I had no ideawhat this evening would bring,” Bhullersaid.

Council in committee discussed theadoption of a bylaw last Tuesdaythat would see secondary and gardensuites regulated in the community.

by Amy [email protected]

Some members of Pitt Meadows councilexpressed concern that the city does nothave the staff to regulate another bylaw,but Kim Grout, the director of operationsand development services, said shebelieves they canhandle it.

Council is look-ing at passing azoning bylaw thatwould includeregulations for sec-ondary and gardensuites in the com-munity.

In order toaccommodategrowth in PittMeadows, and toprovide greater housing options, the citywould support the inclusion of attachedsecondary suites in single family homes,and small detached secondary units onsingle family lots, depending on issuessuch as parking standards and maximumunit size.

“They must comply with B.C. buildingcode,” said Grout, and be subject to zon-ing regulations.

“Perhaps they require owners to receivea business licence,” she added, “and wewill amend the land-use contract bylaw ifapplicable.”

Councillor John Becker said this deci-sion is likely to “elicit both enthusiasmand concern,” and wondered about apublic consultation process.

Grout said there will be an open houseon the zoning bylaw in general, hopefullysometime in May.

Secondary suites are not currentlypermitted in Pitt Meadows, but a reportfrom consulting company AECOM in 2009estimated that about eight per cent of all

single-family dwell-ings in the Cityhave a suite.

The 2006 censussuggested that therecould be as manyas 300 to 550 suitesin Pitt Meadows,and the city said itwants to recognizethe role suites playin providing rentalaccommodation,while avoiding a

culture of non-compliance.The city would take both a reactive

and proactive approach to legalizing thesuites, but Mayor Don MacLean warnedabout taking on too much work.

“If you’re not going to succeed, don’taggravate people by bringing forward abylaw we can’t enforce,” he said.

“Legally it’s better to legalize the pro-cess rather than not,” said Grout.

TIMES changeto Thursday

Last weekend, you saw your lastFriday edition of the Maple Ridge-PittMeadows TIMES.

We’re moving forward.We all know that standing still is not

an option in today’s business climate.As marketplace and consumer trendsevolve, staying ahead of the curve iskey to success and growth.

At the TIMES, we are committed toleading the way on this front, just aswe are committed to ensuring that weremain relevant to our audiences.

With consumers and advertisers hav-ing more media choices today than everbefore, the TIMES strives to understandour readers and advertisers more deeplyand engage them in new and meaning-ful ways.

In addition to keeping you informedof local news, issues, and events, westrive to provide our advertisers notonly with the best in readership reachand customer service, but also withstrategic and effective ways of deliver-ing their advertising messages to theright people at the right time.

And now we are going to deliver itall to you one day earlier.

We are excited to inform you that, asof May 5, 2011, the TIMES will changepublishing days from Tuesday andFriday to Tuesday and Thursday.

We believe this strategic move toThursday distribution will be of greatbenefit to our advertisers, in terms ofreaching their weekend audience in atimely manner.

This move will also give you, ourreaders, the chance to plan your week-end buying decisions, and will allowyou to take a look ahead at weekendevents in the community.

With every issue we publish, andwith every event we organize or attend,we become a stronger voice in the com-munities we serve. And with everynew idea and every new initiative, wecontinue to prove to our readers andadvertisers that the TIMES is innovativeand unique.

We thank you for your continuedsupport, and look forward to continuingto provide you with news and informa-tion that is relevant and timely.

As I’m sitting here writing this,there are not yet any electionresults.

We got special permission fromthe press to hold our front pagelong past our usual deadline,to get you the latest local – andnational – election results pos-sible, as quickly as possible.

And when that extended dead-line finally hit us, we kept plug-ging away, using our website atwww.mrtimes.com to keep writ-ing election updates, to keep our readers and ourcommunity fully informed about what’s comingout of the ballot boxes here, and across Canada.

But alas, right now I’m writing blind.The generous folks at the press wouldn’t

extend their magnanimity to my delightful andthoughtful expressions of wisdom.

The day after the election, I’m still stuck withyesterday’s predictions.

So I will stick only to the predictions that I canconjure with reasonable certainty.

First, I’ll predict that, whatever the outcome ofyesterday’s general federal election, the sun rosetoday and will tomorrow – maybe behind clouds,but it will rise. An asteroid strike could blowthat prediction to smithereens, but ones that bigonly hit the earth about every 500,000 years, andscientists have their eye on one that could bea danger to us in about 800 years… so I’m notlosing sleep over it until at least next week.

Next, I’ll predict that, however the electionended, Canada, like the sunshine, will survive.

As I’m writing this, the most likely end resultseems to be another couple of years of whatwe’ve had for the last couple of years: a reason-ably successful minority government headed byStephen Harper… except Jack Layton will prob-ably take Michael Ignatieff’s place at the head ofthe opposition benches.

The politicians may have been dissatisfied withthe hard work and compromise that minoritygoverning requires.

But who cares what the polit-icians think? It’s been workingjust fine, and I predict that it willcontinue to work just fine.

Don’t expect the oppositionparties to gang up on Harperand take over the reins of gov-ernment by forming a majoritycoalition.

There would be nothing wrongwith that… but what are thechances that Layton will get thatlevel of support from Ignatieff or

Gilles Duceppe? Would you happily lend yoursupport to the guy who just put the boots toyou? Nope. Not likely.

Less likely, but definitely a possibility, Laytoncame out of last night with the most seats, and ashot at being the guy who gets to form a minor-ity government.

Maybe he will be prime minister for a while,or maybe (more likely) the right wing partieswill form one of those coalitions they claim todespise – to keep the socialists from destroyingCanada, of course.

But whether they do or don’t, the countrywon’t be destroyed. Canada will survive.

Maybe Harper came through last night witha majority government. He’ll do his ultra-right-wing stuff, a lot of people will probably get upsetwith him, maybe the voters will move a littlecloser to the centre of the political spectrum nexttime, and… Canada will survive.

There’s a remote possibility that it was Laytonwho finished the night with a majority of seats– in which case he’ll do his ultra-left-wing stuff,a lot of people will probably get upset with him,maybe the voters will move a little closer to thecentre of the political spectrum next time, and…Canada will survive.

And my final prediction – the one of which Iam more certain than any other: we got the gov-ernment we deserved.

That’s democracy, folks, and the beauty of itoften leaves me in awe.

Dear Editor,I’ve been living in the St. Anne area (for-

mally the ghetto) for about a year now.I’m one of the persons – along with a few

others – who initiated the cleaning up ofdrugs, prostitutes, and homeless in the area.

We have done quite the job in the area,and life is a lot better.

You don’t worry as much about vagrantswhen you walk your dogs, and you don’tsee hookers at night or people walking upthe street with stolen goods.

You see parents with their children dur-ing the day, going for walks. It’s peacefulat night – no gun shots or sirens blaring atthree o’clock in the morning.

The reason I’m writing this is, with all thecity code violations in this area, the bylawofficer here has nothing better to do buthassle a hard-working person whose car is a

foot and a half on city property.The vehicle has no radiator and needs

repairs, and he comes to the door andthreatens to give me a ticket,

I’m talking a foot and a half.I’m sure glad the district appreciates all

the walks at night, and moving the home-less out of the bush at the end of the street,and all the lights I put up in the alleys tolight them up at night.

Then [the bylaw officer] has the nerve tostart getting belligerent with me and down-right rude, trying to show his authoritytowards me.

He knows who I am. We’ve seen eachother at the meetings for the area. I’m notasking for special treatment. I’m asking fora foot and a half.

You’re welcome, Maple Ridge.Jim Foulds, Maple Ridge

Dear Editor,How many people do all

of us know who regularlydrive to the U.S.A. to fillup their gas tanks withcheap American gas madefrom Canadian oil.

We have a prime min-ister who is not only theminority prime minister ofCanada, but his real job isthe covert Grand PoPa ofAlberta, and he can hardlywait for oil to be $200 dol-lars a barrel or more.

And still, in Canada – anoil-exporting nation – cit-izens pay more for our gas

than the people who weexport it to.

I, for one, am fed upwith the constant mis-management, environ-mental recklessness, andoutright gouging of theCanadian consumer.

The federal and prov-incial governments haveabsolutely no interest inlower gasoline prices asthey both receive windfalltax grabs when gasolineprices rise; 40 per cent ofthe price of gas is taxes.

Do oil companies pay alot of taxes?

I seriously doubt it, theypay none in the U.S.A.

Do these multi-nationalcompanies really have avested interest in protect-ing Canada’s environment?

The people of Canadashould be the major bene-ficiary of this nationaltreasure. But all I see asa Canadian is $1.35 fora litre gasoline, shoddy,haphazard environmentalcontrols, and a proposedsupertanker route 98-158miles inland up the fourthmost dangerous waterwayin the world to Kitimat.That can only lead to aworld-class disaster.

If any political party inthe federal election wantsmy vote, all they wouldhave to do is nationalizethe Canadian oil and gasindustry, which after allbelongs to every Canadianin the first place.

I have to question what– other than environ-mental nightmares – dothe people of Canada getout of the exploitation ofthis valuable nonrenewableCanadian natural resource?

Time for a do-over.Wayne Clark, Maple Ridge

Tourism

Toowet to build water parkDear Editor,

Mr. Moedt suggests a “water park” to attract tour-ists [Water park will draw in tourists, April 26 Letters,TIMES].

I suggest he give his wet head a shake.Have you looked outside lately? We hardly have the ideal

climate to make a water park a viable business venture.Who wants to patronize a water park in a rain forest?

Such endeavors have seen dismal failure in areas suchas Pitt Meadows, which isn’t that far away from Ruskin. Isuggest Mission council re-think its idea that the park willattract anything but mosquitoes.

Best to come up with a more inventive suggestion beforewasting more taxpayer dollars on a losing proposition.

John Turner, Maple Ridge

Dear Editor,We did it to ourselves. Democracy as we

know it is declining.Our MLAs tell us they are there to repre-

sent their constituents when up for election.When they are elected and get into parlia-

ment, they suddenly follow the party line,regardless of the views of the constituentsthey courted to get in power.

The party line should not be rigid.I am told that, in caucus, everyone has a

voice. I wonder how many of those elected“to represent us” voted the way of theirconstituents, given the animosity to theHST. The MLAs feel they should be able tospend our tax money on their expenses, andwe should not know what the expenses are.

This government has run the provincelike a corporation.

Any company would demand an expensestatement of its employees. Do we, thepeople of B.C., deserve anything less?

People vote for different reasons. No mat-ter for whom they vote, it is a sad, sad daywhen they realize they were deliberatelylied to by the very people they helped putin power.

Twenty-five per cent of eligible voters putthis government in power. The other 75 percent either voted for the other parties or didnot vote, and let apathy win the day.

Nobody will convince me that 25 per centof the voting public gives this government amandate to do what they did last year.

I just read an interesting speech byStephen Harper, Dec. 10, 1996: “This har-monization of the GST, this tax collusionbetween provincial and federal Liberalgovernments is not the way to reverse theeconomic decline of this country.”

Don’t let apathy win the day. Vote. I willvote to extinguish the HST, one of the mostunfair taxes ever put on a population.

As the landscape of the downtowncore changes, driving habits may haveto change with it.


Business owners on Lougheed Highway,between 222nd and 224th Streets sayaccidents have increased on that stretchsince constructionwas completed atthe beginning of thisyear.

Paul Kvammen,who owns the CDShack, said that, onsome days, there canbe as many as oneaccident every fewhours.

He is not just talk-ing about collisions,but incidents likepeople getting theirmirrors ripped off bypassing cars.

“The outside laneis not wide enoughto accommodate anyvehicle outside of amid-size truck,” hesaid.

Kvammen said hehas almost been hitby a mirror a couple of times when he hasbeen standing outside his shop.

“I’m sure everything is built to code,”he said, “but for Yaletown. This is trucktown.”

He said he is concerned becauseLougheed Highway is the main road, anddrivers can go up to 80 km/hour on it..

“We have a huge problem here,” hesaid, “and it’s only going to get worse.”

On March 22, a woman was getting outof her car that was parked on Lougheedbetween 223rd and 224th Streets, andanother car came along, struck her car,and ripped off her door.

However, the fire department said it hasonly attended to two vehicle accidents inthat stretch of road since Jan. 1, with onebeing the incident on March 22.

According to RCMP Cpl. Dale Somerville

from the Ridge Meadows Traffic Section,accidents on the Lougheed Highwaybetween 222 Street and 225 Street havedecreased since the same period the yearbefore.

He looked at the period from March 1,2009 to Feb. 28, 2010 and found therewere 41 crashes recorded, while fromMarch 1, 2010, to Feb. 28, 2011, therewere only 32.

ICBC recorded only three crashes inthat stretch of highway up until the end

of 2010, but does nothave any figures yetfor 2011.

Kvammen said thatis understandable, asmost of the incidentsare small enough driv-ers wouldn’t contactICBC. He just knowswhat he has seen out-side his storefront.

Fred Armstrong andAndrew Wood fromthe District of MapleRidge said the fact thatbusiness owners arenoticing more incidentson that stretch of roadis a good sign thatpeople are taking pridein their surroundings.

“There’s a senseof ownership,” saidWood, a municipalengineer. “Civic owner-

ship is really great.”Armstrong, the manager of corporate

communications, said the development ofthe downtown core has changed people’ssense of place, and it is the same feelingone might have when purchasing a newcar – keep it pristine for as long as pos-sible, and notice immediately when some-thing seems out of joint.

Wood explained that the road designitself is one reason Kvammen and otherbusiness owners are noticing more thingsgoing on.

He said drivers travelling east, forexample, are coming from a wide stretchof Lougheed Highway into an area wherethe lanes are not narrower, but they feelthat way, and drivers have to slow downto accommodate.

The ACT

A dysfunctional familyencounters a bloody tragedyin Rick Miller’s MacHomer.by Amy [email protected]

At first glance, the words ofWilliam Shakespeare’s Macbethcould not be further away fromthe comedy of Matt Groening’sThe Simpsons.

How could “out, damn’dspot” ever blend seamlesslywith Homer Simpson’s famouscatchphrase “doh!”?

But Canadian comedian RickMiller has found a way, and willbe bringing his award-winningplay MacHomer to The ACT thisFriday.

Miller describes his one-man show as “brutally editedMacbeth, but still Shakespeare’swords.”

“Eight-five per cent of the words out of my mouth areShakespeare,” he said, “and a bunch of jokes thrown inwhich Shakespeare never intended.”

Chances are, however, Shakespeare may have beenquite impressed with Miller’s retelling of his famous taleof revenge and murder.

“Shakespeare was pop culture 400 years ago,” saidMiller. “He was writing in a very satirical way to com-ment on his society.”

“They are a lot more similar than you would firstthink,” he added.

In much the same way Shakespeare wrote for themasses, The Simpsons has long been known as a humor-ous look at the average American family, lovable foiblesand all.

“They both appeal to very different cross sections ofsociety,” said Miller. “In Shakespeare, there’s slapstickand then there’s politics.”

MacHomer was the brainchild of Miller about 16 yearsago when he was playing “murderer number two” in aproduction of Macbeth. Now he has toured the show toabout 175 cities, and more than half a million peoplehave seen it.

Miller performs other works aswell, but MacHomer is his mostfamous. It is also used in schoolsas a teaching tool, and a way forstudents to become interestedin learning more about one ofShakespeare’s most famous plays.

“If you can break your waythrough the language barrier, youwill see there are some great wordsthere,” he said.

Every few years he gives theplay a bit of an overhaul to makesure it’s still relevant, and his 50Simpsons’ characters voices arestill up to scratch.

“If you look at an episode [ofThe Simpsons],” said Miller, “yesthese characters are pathetic andkind of depressing, but you find aconnection with [them].”

MacHomer will be at The ACT onFriday, May 6, at 7:30 p.m. Ticketsare $35 for adults, $28.50 for sen-iors, and $20 for students.

After releasing a CD, Ron Kalmakoffreleased his first video last weekpaying tribute to all mothers.

by Roxanne [email protected]

It’s been one hell of a ride this pastyear for a Maple Ridge shop ownerwho has dared to relaunch a singingcareer at the age of 48.

It started recently with the release ofLittle Cricket Gift Gallery owner RonKalmakoff’s newest CD, Turn Around,and now the release last week of his firstvideo.

My Mother’s Son, one of the songson his new CD, has been released asa video on YouTube.

The timing, Kalmakoff admitted,is no coincidence. It’s very inten-tional that he released it just ahead ofMother’s Day.

“I’ve known many wonderfulmother figures over the years andhave seen the terrific life long bondbetween mothers and their children,”he said.

He’s particularly excited about thenew project, because it’s another first.

“I am very proud of this video not onlybecause of my own personal history withthe song but I also played a big part inthe concept and creation of the video,” hesaid. “Along with my good friend, ShawnSoucy of Spirit Media, I had a chance tohelp put the pieces together and made thisa reality.”

The video can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxZLaiY

WNcc&feature=player_detailpage.

“My wish is that if thevideo moves you, or youthink it will move others

who you know, please pass it on,”Kalmakoff said.

“To all mothers who inspire their chil-dren everyday. Happy Mother’s Day.”

This artist spent the past dozen months(or so) rekindling his life-long love ofmusic – a passion first ignited at a talentshow during his teens that sparked a pro-fessional music career that spanned thebetter part of two decades.

“My inner spark is back,” Kalmakoff

said, a twinkle in his green eyes.More than a decade ago, Kalmakoff was

drawing applause for his sixth album,Journey of the Heart, when life took aharsh turn with a series of family-relatedevents.

“Life changes, revolves, and moves inmany different directions,” he mused.

And as he tells it, 2010 brought evenmore changes. That’s when he went backto work with co-producer Michael Creber,a Grammy nominated and Juno Awardwinning composer and musician whoKalmakoff calls his “musical brother” andrekindled his music career.

“This is the third recording project we

have worked on together. He also acts asmy music director and key-

board player on stage. I hadcalled Michael early lastyear asking if he would beinterested in doing someco-writing with me,”Kalmakoff recounted.“After being away from

my music for more than 10years – performing and song-

writing – I decided in advance that after acouple sessions in the studio, if this wasnot meant to be, I would know it anddecide to put my music behind me,” hetold the TIMES.

“After a month of writing on my own, Itook some of my material to him. Michaelthought what I brought him was terrificand the songs were solid with just mywriting alone, so we started the process oflaying tracks on a few of the tunes.”

Kalmakoff claimed he knew as soon ashe walked into the recording studio thatit was time for him to get back into hismusic career again.

“There was a comfort level for me thatI forgot about being away from the busi-ness. My writing skills had come back andmy voice was the strongest ever,” said theSaskatchewan-born singer.

“I seemed to feel that it was time for meto get back into my career again and littledid I know of the great response I wouldlater receive from fans who used to followmy music in the past.”

The CD is available through both of hisstores. It can also be ordered though hiswebsite at www.ronkalmakoff.com, aswell as on PayPal, iTunes, and CDBaby.

SPECC-tacular Productions willshowcase spring fashions, set toBroadway music.


This is not your typical fashionshow.

There will be models, beautifulclothes, and glitz and glamour.

But there will also be a lot more.SPECC-tacular Productions is put-

ting on a show to raise money forits upcoming theatre season, witha preview of its Christmas show, AChristmas Carol.

“The only way we can put on ashow is if we make money in ourlast show or get money elsewhere,”

said fashion show coordinatorChristine Olorenshaw.

Combining fashion with SPECC-tacular, singers will sing songs fromBroadway musicals, as well.

“It’s a little different from astraightforward fashion show,” saidOlorenshaw.

The show includes all local talent,with models and singers from thecommunity, dancers from the MapleRidge Dance Circle, and fashionsfrom local stores including CrystalBlu, Mico’s Swimwear, Winners,and Creekside Fashions in PortCoquitlam.

Models will wear never-before-seen pieces from Joseph Ripkoff’sfashion line at Crystal Blu – he isthe official designer for the MissAmerica pageants.

There will be door prizes and a

traditional English cream tea.Along with new clothes and a

snippet from A Christmas Carol, theshow will also preview SPECC-tacu-lar’s 2012 season. The dramatists arehoping to stage the musical favouriteOliver! next year.

“We just want to do musicals,”laughed Olorenshaw.

Tickets for the May 7 show,including tea and entertainment, are$20. The show runs from 1 to 4 p.m.at St. Andrews Church Hall, 22165Dewdney Trunk Rd. Tickets can bebrought through any of the fashionstores in the show, at the door, orby calling 604-465-1694.

“It gives a chance for the localstores to promote themselves aswell,” said Olorenshaw. “It’s what’sin the future for theatre, and what’sin the future for fashion.”

In the last competition beforethe Regional Championships, theRock Wall climb-ing team fromMaple Ridge, cer-tainly gave them-selves somethingto cheer about.

After winningthe North FaceChallenge Cup inBanff last month,the Maple Ridgeteam seemed tobe “climbing withconfidence,” saidhead coach TerrySpurrell.

“It showed againthis weekend asthey were a dom-inate force,” hesaid.

The White Knuckle BoulderCompetition in Saanicton onVancouver Island was an on-sightboulder competition, where eachclimber had five problems tosolve, in a maximum time limitof four minutes. A partial pointwas received for reaching thekey bonus hold throughout eachclimb, and one full point wasreceived for topping out the prob-lem. Ties were broken by count-ing the number of attempts oneach problem.

Spurrell said the big successstory of the day was the RockWall’s 11-and-under girls, led bySara Hopkins, who swept theircategory.

“Hopkins clinched first placeby solving a tricky heel hooksequence on the final problem,”said Spurrell, “the only 11-and-under girl to top all five.”

He added that it was a veryclose race between second andthird place, where Alex Gibsonand Kari Jurick had both toppedthree problems and reached the

bonus hold on the fifth, butGibson did it with one fewer

attempt edging outJurick.

“The whole teamwas thrilled withthe 11-and -underpodium sweep,”said Spurrell.

He remarked hisdaughter Christyhad one of her bestperformances at theevent, easily beat-ing out her long-time opponent fromNorth Vancouverwho had edged herout of a World’sTeam spot in twoof the past fouryears.

“In the sixcompetitions since January, theRock Wall has seen its climbersplace in every competition,” saidSpurrell.

“While impressiveas that is, NicoleHopkins, mother ofone of the climbersstates that what ismore impressive iswhat the gym andits coaches are pro-viding these youngpeople,” he added.“They encouragethem, build up theirself-esteem, makethem feel import-ant, and help themexperience suc-cess.”

He said he cred-its the Rock Wallteam’s success part-ly with his athletesand the passionthey have for climbing and partlywith his coaching program.

The Rock Wall has had mem-

bers on the Canadian NationalClimbing Team and competedat every Continental, Pan-Am

and WorldChampionshipcompetition since2006. Spurrellhas more than 30years experienceclimbing, andnine years coach-ing. His daughterChristy is anassistant coachand still competeswith the team.She has competedfor eight yearsand competedfor Canada since2007.

Assistant coach-es Sammy Belland Jaylene Pratthave both com-peted for Canada

for three years before aging out.Pratt is now in her second yearof kinesiology at Simon Fraser

University, which has added tothe program.

Assistant coach Nikki Blais isthe team’s fitness trainer andhas been instrumental in makingthe team stronger this year, saidSpurrell.

Since 2009, at least 10 per centof the National Team has comefrom the Rock Wall in MapleRidge. “Considering there aremore than 60 climbing centresacross Canada, that’s an impres-sive number,” said Spurrell.

In this competition, SaraHopkins came first, Alex Gibsonplaced second, and Kari Jurickcame third in girls ages 11 andunder.

In the same category for boys,Jakob Plamondon came first.

For girls ages 12 to 13, GabbyGibson placed second, in the girlsages 16 to 17, Carly Turner camethird, Jarred Plamondon camethird for boys 16 to 17, and inthe girls ages 18 to 19, ChristySpurrell placed second and JulieHuff came fourth.
