A 125-room hotel along the Haney

Bypass could open up new tourism
opportunities for Maple Ridge and
become a catalyst for development
in the Port Haney area.
The proposed hotel cleared its
first hurdle Tuesday night as Maple
Ridge council voted unanimously to
approve the first reading of its re-
zoning application.
The site for the hotel is currently
a collection of eight residential prop-
erties, sitting largely derelict at the
intersection of Callaghan Avenue
and the foot of 224th Street. In it’s

Out of the line of fire
As the federal government looks to tough-
en rules on human smuggling and illegal
migration, a family who fled from Sri
Lanka to Canada on a ship called the MV
Sun Sea puts a face on those behind the
figures. Their names have been changed
to protect their identities.
S tor y by Monisha Mar tins

hivia’s mother-in-
law was killed while
steeping a cup of tea.
She had climbed out of their
underground bunker when the
sky was quiet, sneaking into
the kitchen above to make a
strong Sri Lankan brew.
There wasn’t much the family below could
do when they heard planes rumbling above.
The bomb crashed through the roof. Thivia
found her mother-in-law lying in blood, not
yet dead, a hole in her side.
Stoic, unflinching, the young mother
shrugs.
Her mother-in-law was buried near the
paddy fields they farmed under the coconut
trees that shaded her home and village in the
Vanni. There was no time to cremate her ac-
cording to Hindu traditions.
During the last five months of their 30-year
civil war, Sri Lankan government and securi-
ty forces encouraged hundreds of thousands
of civilians to move into ever smaller govern-
ment-declared No Fire Zones in the country’s
north, then subjected them to repeated and
increasingly intense artillery, mortar bar-
rages and other fire.
And it isn’t just the government who is ac-
cused of violating international humanitarian
law, says the International Crisis Group.
The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam,
fighting to create an independent state in the
north of the island country, were responsible
for killing, wounding or endangering civil-
ians, by shooting them and preventing them
from leaving the conflict zone even when in-
jured and dying.
The International Crisis Group believes
that tens of thousands of non-combatant
Tamil men, women, children and the elderly
were killed in the final five months of the war
– from January to May 2009.
The United Nations is more conservative
with their estimates and figures the conflict
had killed between 80,000-100,000 people since
it erupted into a full-scale civil war in 1983
– including unofficial and unverified tallies
showing 7,000 civilian deaths since January
2009.
Thivia’s husband Kapilan buried his friend,
split in three by a bomb, on a sandy beach. He
watched the friend’s young son cover his fa-
ther with palm fronds to shield the body from
the sun.
It was then he made the decision to leave,
flee far from all that was familiar, find peace.
The bombing may have ended, but sur-
rounded by the army, Kapilan says, his fam-

ily did not feel safe. As a Tamil, he admits, he
was protected when the Tigers ran Vanni.
Before the family left, they dug a hole be-
hind their home where they hid their photo-
graphs.
Thivia and their two children arrived in
Bangkok in October 2009 carrying all the gold
jewelry she owned - her wedding ring, fam-
ily heirlooms, keepsakes from childhood. She
never told her mother she was leaving.
Kapilan joined her a 18 days later, after brib-
ing officials at the airport in Columbo who
pulled him aside before he could board the
plane with his family.
In Thailand, where they spent six months
on a tourist visa, the family sold their gold

$15,000, a sum collected thanks to the high
price of gold.
“I wanted to be safe,” he says, through a
translator.
“I wanted freedom.”

The rusty 59-metre 767 ton cargo ship took
three months to reach Victoria.
The Sun Sea was well-stocked, captained
by a man the passengers had nominated to
guide the ship. The man had worked as a sec-
ond-mate on an Eritrean cargo ship, he could
read navigation charts and assured them - he
would get them safely to Canada.
Kapilan calls him “a hero.”
Their daily ration on the ship included a

litre of drinking water, dried fish and rice for
lunch and porridge for dinner.
When the sea was calm, Thivia and the chil-
dren would stroll the decks. Everyone would
move below deck when the skies turned grey
and waves whipped around them. Passengers
were often sea-sick.
Below deck, Thivia kept track of the days.
She figured the ship must be close to Canada
when rations began to run low.
On Aug. 12, the MV Sun Sea was intercepted
by the Canadian Navy.
Thivia says everyone ran to the deck and
cheered when they saw the Maple Leaf.
The ship was escorted into CFB Esquimalt
the next morning, a total of 492 people on
board.
All have claimed refugee status.
To date, 307 of the MV Sun Sea passengers
have been released, including Thivia and
Kapilan, who each spent time in provincial
prisons while the Canadian Border Services
Agency tried to determine their identities
and whether they were human smugglers or
former Tamil Tiger rebels.
“The CBSA is committed to working
with its partners to maintain the
integrity of Canada’s immigration
system and will exercise due diligence
in processing these individuals
according to Canadian law.”
Shakila Manzoor, CBSA
Of 136 who remain detained, 124 are men
who are housed in Fraser Regional Correc-
tional Centre and 12 are women who are being
held inside the Alouette Correctional Centre
for Women, two prisons in Maple Ridge.
“The CBSA continues to exercise due dili-
gence in the screening of all irregular mi-
grants for both security and criminal threats,”
said spokesperson Shakila Manzoor.
“The CBSA is committed to working with
its partners to maintain the integrity of Can-
ada’s immigration system and will exercise
due diligence in processing these individuals
according to Canadian law. The safety and
security of Canadians remains the CBSA’s
priority.”
Thus far, 15 of the men have been referred
to the Immigration and Refugee Board for ad-
missibility hearings
Melissa Anderson, a spokesperson for the
refugee board, said 14 of the 15 men are ac-
cused of being a member of a terrorist orga-
nization.
The border agency also alleges two of the 14
took part in human smuggling, while another
is being accused of war crimes.
•••••
The arrival of the MV Sun Sea and an ear-
lier ship in 2009 that also carried Tamils trig-
gered a sharp response from the federal gov-
ernment, which promised to crack down on
human smuggling and illegal migration.
As a result, last fall the Conservative gov-
ernment introduced Bill C-49 to toughen
rules. Those include mandatory jail terms for
those involved in human smuggling, deten-
tion for up to year while their status is being
determined and making those who arrive by
a smuggling operation wait five years before
they can apply for permanent residency in
Canada.

Waiting game between COs and cougar

Cat spotted on
121st Avenue
near 264 Street
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter

Conservation officers
are still on the hunt for
a cougar that has killed
seven farm animals in
east Maple Ridge since
the beginning of the
month.
Six soft leg-hold traps,
set Sunday after a min-
iature horse was eaten,
have failed to catch the
cat.
A goat, two other min-
iature horses, a donkey
and two sheep on the
same property in the
25700-block of 128th Av-
enue were slain in pre-
vious attacks.
“We are basically
waiting for another
call,” said Murray
Smith, with the B.C.
Conservation Service.
“There is not much
you can do until you get
a fresh sighting again.”
The cougar was last
spotted Wednesday
night by a woman who
lives on 121st Avenue
near 264th Street.
Smith said conserva-
tion officers will contin-
ue to inspect the traps
daily and will bring in
a houndsman who lives
in Maple Ridge to sniff
the cougar out, if it kills
again.

When Marshall McLuhan first identified in the
1960s the possibility of a post-literate society in
which a visual, individualistic print culture would
be usurped by the aural and oral culture of elec-
tronic media, the Internet, high definition televi-
sion and XBox weren’t even a gleam in futurists’
eyes.
Now, some observers say that possibility is a re-
ality. Kids spend countless hours honing their re-
flexes on video games. Watching HDTV is almost
as good as being there. And we all spend way too
much time surfing the web.
Meantime, newspapers and magazines are strug-
gling for readers. Books gather dust on shelves.
But even this so-called post-literate society re-
quires a great deal of literacy. There are labels,
instructions and guides to be read. And all those
little symbols on your computer screen? They’re
called words. Not to mention email and text mes-
sages.
That’s why Family Literacy Day – which was
Thursday – is so important.
If anything, our wired-up, plugged-in multimedia
post-literate world has made literacy essential.
Yet according to Statistics Canada, approximate-
ly nine million Canadian adults struggle with poor
literacy skills.
Imagine not understanding what’s printed on a
cereal box, bottle of medicine, DVD case, shop sign
or restaurant menu.
In fact, we do so much reading in our daily lives,
it’s easy to take literacy for granted. But none of
us were born literate. We had to work at it. Ideally,
we started that work early, when it seemed more
like play, or sharing quality time with parents or
siblings as they read stories to us, and taught us
some of the words so we could read along.
Literacy is a gift that needs to be shared. Be sure

How they would fix education system
I
was teaching a Grade 9 com-
puter class this past semester.
We did the typical things you
should in such a class. We looked
at the components of hardware
that were part of a computer. We
looked at the physical structure
of a network and the physical
structure and lack of regulatory
opportunity of the internet.
We then went to the utilization
of software for word processing,
databases, spreadsheets, desktop
publishing, audio and video edit-
ing and graphic design.
We also talked about a host of
legal issues related to copyright
matters, intellectual property
theft, personal privacy and cen-
sorship.
And as a final project, I asked
students to design the perfect
school that would utilize technol-
ogy and motivate the majority of
students to succeed.
I must confess that it took a bit
of prodding to get students to
think creatively. Learning comes
from experience, and while these
students have been in school for
almost 10 years, they’ve attended
a structure well established and
understood by them and their
parents. They’ve never really
thought about what goes on be-
hind the scenes to create a school
or education system.
When I opened the project
instructions with the line, “I
think the current school system
is irrelevant,” I got their attention
pretty quickly.
I asked them to consider the
fact that a
good educa-
tion is very
important,
not just to the
individual,
but to the en-
tire society.
We spoke
about the fact
that everyone
learns dif-
Parenting
ferently and
how the cur- Graham Hookey
rent school
system was
often viewed by many students as
a place that holds them back from
doing what they want to do rather
than motivating them to try new
things. I asked how many of them,
given the choice, would not want
to come to school on a daily basis
if there was an option.
Aside from a hit to my ego, since
I was teaching this group two of
its four courses this semester, I
was not particularly surprised to
find that the majority of students
would not attend. I asked them
what they would do, instead,
knowing that they needed a
decent education. Their response
was not as easily determined as
was the vote of whether to attend,
but was insightful to me and a
good stimulant to thought for the
beginning of the project.
The majority of the students
said that they would spend their
time on-line, learning what they
wanted to learn. A few said they
would focus on their skateboard-

ing or snowboarding or some
other physical endeavour and a
few said they would spend more
time painting or playing a musical
instrument. In other words, there
was virtually no student who said Inscription/Registration Sept. 2011
he or she would lie around and do
nothing all day, although there 9 Fév./Feb. 2011 - 19h/7pm

THE NEWS/home&gardening
High time to prune flowering shrubs
I
t’s high time to be
out there with prun-
ing shears in hand,
cleaning up our trees
and shrubs. But we also
must be a little cautious
with some of our plants
to make sure we don’t
prune off this year’s
flowers and fruits.
We all have flower-
ing shrubs that have
simply grown too large Gardening
too quickly and need Brian Minter
to be pruned back to
maintain their appear-
ance and the integrity of our landscapes.
If we prune some plants too vigour-
ously now, we risk losing all the beautiful
colour that we’ve been waiting to enjoy.
As a rule of thumb, I like to prune out
the dead and diseased wood that is so
easy to spot at this time of year, as well
as those long, leggy branches that have
simply stretched too far.
The main flowering branches I always
leave until the flowers have finished
blooming, then I prune the entire plant
back to a nicely formed, attractive plant.
Some of the flowering shrubs in this
category: flowering quince (chaenom-
eles), Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas),
forsythia, corylopsis, Kerria japonica,
daphne, Beauty Bush (kolkwitzia), enki-
anthus, flowering currant (ribes), fother-
gilla, early-blooming spiraeas, lilacs and
deciduous viburnums.

“If we prune some plants too
vigourously now, we risk losing
all the beautiful colour that we’ve
been waiting to enjoy.”
The flowering shrubs that bloom on new
wood can be pruned back at this time of
year and still provide a good display of
colour. When you prune these plants,
however, try to prune back a lot of the old
hard wood, leaving the supple new growth
that will branch easily when pruned and
will provide not only a more attractive
plant, but also good foliage from top to
bottom.
Mophead and Lace Cap hydrangeas need special attention because their buds are already formed for next season.
Some of these flowering plants that can
be pruned now and still give you a nice
showing this year: buddleias, potentil-
las, shrub dogwoods, hardy rugosa roses,
hardy fuchsias, late blooming spiraeas,
tamarix, weigelas and the late summer
blooming P.G. hydrangeas.
Mophead and Lace Cap hydrangeas need
special attention because their buds are
already formed for next season. Some
of these buds are on the tips of young
branches, others are on the sides of older
branches and many are down low near the
base of the stems. With a little care, you
can prune above the buds on the stems to
even out the plant while still preserving
the buds for a good showing this year.
Both Japanese and deciduous azaleas
have all their buds formed and are ready
to bloom, so leave any pruning until after
all the flowers have finished, at which time
they can both be pruned fairly hard to
maintain a compact and attractive plant.
A few flowering shrubs bloom best on
last year’s growth, so it’s important to
keep enough old wood to make a great
display. The beautiful Chinese witch ha-
zels (hamamelis), which are making such
a splendid display right now, are a good
example of this type of plant.
One of my favourite winter bloomers,
Viburnum ‘Pink Dawn’ , is another good
Contributing
example of plants that bloom best on old
wood.
Once you have done a little pruning and
have come to know your flowering shrubs,
it’s fun to both improve their shape and
increase their flowering effect in your
landscape. Most of these shrubs can also
be sprayed now with lime sulphur and
dormant oil to clean them up.
Closer to the growing season, a good ap-
plication of 10-14-21 fertilizer, or a similar
formulation, will make a huge difference
in their bud and flower quality.

Malcolm Marauders’ main man
Sharpshooter for Pitt Meadows hoops squad to take his talents to T-Birds after tutelage under veteran senior boys coach Rich Goulet
by Grant G ra n g e r
contributor
A
s a kid, Malcolm Williams, his brother
Christiaan and sister Haeley would
play hoops in the family driveway. The
competitive juices flowed freely and he loved
it, except for one thing. Since Christiaan was
seven years older he was always winning.
“I didn’t like that one bit,” says the
17-year-old Pitt Meadows secondary basket-
ball guard. “Playing against my brother he
roughed me up and beat me up. It definitely
made me tougher. I definitely didn’t like
getting beaten up.”
It was definitely good for his game, though.
Good enough that Pitt Meadows senior boys
coach Rich Goulet says when Williams ar-
rived at the school in Grade 9 he could have
played for the Marauders senior team. Now
he’s good enough that the University of B.C.
Thunderbirds have recruited the 6-foot-2,
190-pound shooting guard to join their men’s
hoop team next season. He chose UBC partial-
ly because it was close to home. He could still
get to eat his mom’s cooking. “She makes a
great mac and cheese dish. I just love it.” And
his family could come to watch his games.
One family member, however, who won’t
be in the stands is his older brother. Williams
says three years ago, Christiaan was going
down the wrong path and ended up taking
his own life. Williams admits his Christiaan’s
death affected him “big time.”
“My brother was someone I looked up to. It
was definitely a tough loss. It was almost like
motivation to take sports as far as I can, to do
it in my brother’s name,” says Williams.
Goulet says because of Christiaan’s death
it seems like Williams tries to balance his life
and doesn’t get depressed when things aren’t
going well. The veteran coach has seen the
family out playing basketball on the anniver-
sary of Christiaan’s death.
“Malcolm honours his brother,” says Gou-
let, who also had a brother that committed
suicide. “That kind of tragedy you deal with
those things. Sometime it’s harder than other
situations.”
Williams’ development has benefited in a
big way from the tutelage of Goulet, who has
been coaching elite level basketball in this
province for more than a quarter of a centu-
ry. Williams has played in Goulet’s off-season
Centre for Performance and on provincial
teams in the summer.
“Malcolm is the king, or the prince. I call
him both,” says Goulet with a hearty laugh.
“He’s the guy everybody respects and every-
body wants to play with. He’s the guy.”
At last year’s AAA provincial champion-
ships, Williams was the only Grade 11 starter
on a Marauder squad that finished fourth.
Goulet says Williams had some ankle and
foot problems that affected his play in the
grueling tourney. In recent games this sea-
son, he’s been pumping in at least 20 points
per game which is quite an accomplishment
with Goulet’s team-first style of play.
“The guy can do a lot of different stuff and at
the same time gives you the appearance that
he’s floating and there’s a lot more there. And
you know what, there is,” says Goulet. “He

can score, he can downright score.”
Against Walnut Grove in Langley on Tues-
day night, Pitt Meadows trailing 61-56 five
minutes into the fourth quarter. Williams
ended up scoring 30 points, in addition to five
assists and five rebounds, as the Marauders
defeated the Gators 74-63.
“When we needed to get back in the game
we gave him the ball and said go,” says Gou-
let. “Malcolm is tough to match up against
because he’s fast and athletic. People have a
hard time handling him.”
“He’s the guy everybody respects
and everybody wants to play with
he’s the guy.”
Rich Goulet, Pitt Meadows basketball coach
Williams is a big reason why the Maraud-
ers are ranked sixth in the province. But
he’s not the only reason. Three seniors who
didn’t play last year – Trevor Severinski,
Matt Blackaby and 5-foot-5 guard Mitsu
Iwai – have made a large contribution es-
pecially recently as the rust gets knocked
off their games. Another Grade 12, Luke
Gillespie, has also gone from the bench to
prominence scoring 17 points and grabbing
seven rebounds against Walnut Grove.
“Nobody expected us to be as good as we
are. I knew we had it in us all along,” says
Williams. “It’s not done yet. We’ve still got
a long way to go.

“I feel like any of the top teams has a legiti-
mate chance to win the championship this
year.”
After that it’s off to Point Grey to, at first,
learn from three guards – Doug Plumb, Na-
than Yu and Melvyn Mayott – who will be in
their final year of eligibility next season
“I get a year to learn behind them and then
after that hopefully it will be my turn to step
up and be a starter,” says Williams. “They’ve
got an outstanding basketball program and
they’ve got a winning tradition and I definite-
ly wanted to be part of that.”
Goulet says with Williams being on pro-
vincial teams, UBC has been keeping an eye
on him as an ideal candidate to thrive in the
T-Birds guard-oriented system.
“He can score inside and out and comes
from a winning program,” said head coach
Kevin Hanson in a UBC press release. “He’ll
get the chance to get a year under his belt
but then we are expecting him to step up
and be an impact player for our program.
Williams has also talked to UBC football
coach Shawn Olson about possibly playing
the sport that is his first love. He’s played pig-
skin since he was seven. This past season he
was a wide receiver, safety and kick returner
for the Marauders football squad. But Wil-
liams admits it would be difficult trying to
juggle both sports along with his studies (he
plans to major in human kinetics).
If he pulled it off, though, it would be an-
other way to honour the brother, who made
him work so hard to earn every little point he
could get, whether it be on the court, the field
or the driveway.

Funk fashions fight victory

at Diamond Belt event
Dave Funk of the Maple Ridge Box-
ing Club won the 64-kilogram class
at the Diamond Belt Amateur Box-
ing Championships held at the Rich-
mond Sports Club on the weekend.
In his first match, Funk, 32, was
trailing his opponent, Abdul Hamid
of the Queensborough Boxing Club,
but then Hamid was disqualified
with about 10 seconds left in the
third and final round.
Hamid was committing fouls
throughout the bout before he re-
ceived the DQ, said Funk’s man-
ager, Alex Nelson.
Funk then went on to defeat Chris-
topher Cordova of the Morningstar
Boxing Club, 8-6 in the final.
“He was down by two points, but
in the last round he pulled it out,”
said Nelson. “We believe it’s the
first time Dave has won back-to-
back bouts since he started box-
ing.”
Cordova had advanced to the final
by taking out Maple Ridge’s Dylan
Bishop 11-7 Friday. Nelson said Bish-
op, the provincial champion, had
been sick prior to the tournament.
• The next competition for the
MRBC will be the B.C. Silver Gloves
championship to be held in Prince
