Candidate Randy Kamp won his fourth
term as MP Monday, winning the Pitt
Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission riding by
almost 10,000 votes as Conservative blue
swept the country.
Kamp gave his victory speech an hour
and 45 minutes after polls closed at 7 p.m.
“I felt there was a growing appetite for a
majority,” said Kamp as the crowd cheered

be. It shows that people were really tired of
elections and wanted stability.”
At the final tally, Kamp had garnered
28,848 votes over NDP candidate Craig
Speirs’ 18,865. Liberal Mandeep Bhuller
came a distant third, taking 2,738 votes,
while Green Peter Tam wasn’t far behind
with 2,642.
Kamp said the Conservative majority will
allow his government to pass key legisla-
tion like abolishing the gun registry and
other crime bills.
“I thought the results would be a little
closer,” he added.

“We are respecting their process
and the communities’ involvement,”
he added.
“We are part of the community
and we are participating like every-
one else did.”
Following public consultation last
fall, and four options presented by a
consultant, council opted for a devel-
opment scenario for the Albion flats
that included commercial, business
and recreational development of
both sides of 105th Avenue.
Then it added a recreation centre,
farm buildings, a farmer’s market,
an agricultural training centre, food
education institute and community
gardens and a neighbourhood pub
to the vision.

Liberals say they’ll fight another day

Mandeep Bhuller got 2,738 votes time. For the first time in years,
Liberals opened a campaign of-
fice in Maple Ridge, put up signs
throughout the riding, engaged in
social media, door-knocked and
debated other candidates pub-
licly.
Three out of the past four cam-
paigns were run by “parachute”
candidates, Bhuller added.
“I think any person can appre-
ciate the value of living in and
knowing your community before
you stand up for it.”
Bhuller now intends to build on
the strong team of volunteers who
helped his campaign.
“We’ve got the commitment,” he
said. “We need to keep this brand
in the community. It is an alter-
native. We’ve got four years now,
which was not the case before. For
the past five years, elections have
been called at the whim of nation-
al forces.”
Although the Greens dropped
back to fourth place Monday, after
beating the Liberals by 400 votes
in 2008, Peter Tam was buoyed by
his party’s showing nationally.
Green leader Elizabeth May
became the party’s first elected
federal member of parliament
Monday when she won the Saan-
ich-Gulf Islands riding. “It’s a ma-
jor change in landscape in politics.
I am just happy that I had a chance
to participate in it,” said Tam.
“A lot of people were surprised
the NDP didn’t do well here. It
looks like Maple Ridge wants to
keep their tradition and is not
ready for the change yet.”
Just like the Liberals, Tam too
will continue to build the Green
party brand over the next four
years.
“I think we need to do a little bit
more educating,” said Tam, who
will be seeking a seat on Maple
Ridge council. “We need to build
this community a little bit better.”

Election from Front
“I’m pleased.”
Kamp pushed his lead from the 2008 elec-
tion, over his nearest rival Speirs by more
than 2,000 votes.
Speirs, a Maple Ridge councillor and Mike
Bocking, who ran against Kamp in 2008, con-
gratulated Kamp on his victory in person.
“Kamp ran a good campaign. He has a block
of support in Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-
Mission and that’s shone through. You can’t
argue with the voter,” said Speirs.
The mood at the headquarters for NDP
candidate was quiet, after he conceded de-
feat.
The local riding just isn’t quite ready to
shed its Conservative skin, said Speirs.
“We’ve got something to build on,” he said
to the crowd of approximately 30 supporters
gathered at the Maple Ridge NDP headquar-
ters. “We came a lot closer this time.”
Speirs, a four-term Maple Ridge councillor,
singled out former NDP candidate Bocking
for his help during the four-week campaign,
which saw a near implosion of the Liberal
party across the nation. In several of the
individual local riding polling stations, Lib-
eral candidate Mandeep Bhuller was earn-
ing fewer than 10 votes.
“I feel your pain,” Speirs said to the de-
jected volunteers. “I think we did a really
good job. We now have a good base.”
The retired Liquor Distribution Branch
employee also said his loss wasn’t the worst
thing that could have happened, given the
party federally has formed the official op-
position for the first time.
“We’ll be holding [the Conservatives] feet
to the fire,” he noted. Bocking said this elec-
tion represents a “paradigm shift,” and that
the NDP is “now a more national party.”
Regarding the massive Liberal losses,
Bocking attributed this to a “perception
that the party doesn’t particularly stand for
anything anymore. The NDP or the Conser-
vatives stand for something identifiable.”
The Conservative now have a solid major-
ity in the House of Commons with 166 seats.
The NDP will form the official opposition
with 102 seat, while the Liberals won 34, the
Bloc Québécois have four and the Green
Party has one seat.
Voter turnout for the election was slight
higher than 2008 with 53,093 of 88,555 reg-
istered electors in the riding (60 per cent)
casting a ballot, compared to 51, 308 during
the last election.

People have spoken,
for awhile at least
One down, two more to go, elections that is, for
the people of B.C.
Despite a slow start, Monday’s federal election
morphed into an interesting competition and re-
drew the political map.
And what a night it was.
Stephen Harper’s Conservatives are back in
power, this time with a majority government af-
ter promising that they are focused on economic
progress and stability.
Time will tell whether that happens and
whether the government can rule from the cen-
tre, which is where Canadian politics is based,
and not lapse into a right-wing Albertan agenda
over which some in the party are drooling.
The importance of conveying that message of
stability wasn’t lost on the candidates.
The win “will bring stability that Canada needs
for economic recovery,” said Conservative Mark
Warawa after his fourth win in Langley.
“It shows that people were really tired of
elections and wanted stability,” said Conser-
vative Randy Kamp after his fourth win in
Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission.
The surprise this time around was the ascen-
dence of the NDP, likely because of NDP boss
Jack Layton’s work ethic.
Recovering from hip surgery, fighting cancer,
Layton limped to work every day despite his
condition. That dedication and his cane, struck
a note with many voters who fight their own
struggles daily, (though without a parliamen-
tary salary and pension.)

Mom’s Day look a likes

Do these moms and daughters show a family
resemblance?
Do their beautiful looks run in the family?
That’s up to you readers to decide.
In honour of Mother’s Day this Sunday, May 8,
readers sent their photos of moms and daugh-
ters.
We’re printing them so you can see how daugh-
ters look like their mothers.
Do you have a photo that shows how you look
like your mother or daughter? Maybe it could run
next year.
One entry of this year’s photos will be drawn at
random for a prize.

The Latency headlines Ridge battle how people grow.”

Pop-rock trio met at similar contest held Currently working on their sophomore album,
at Garibaldi secondary The Latency are finally more comfortable with
their sound and unafraid to experiment.
The band has already laid down four tracks and
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s

staff reporter
are heading in the right direction.
“Instead of being focused on writing music that
will get played on the radio, we are just doing what

Y
ou could say The Latency were born out of
a battle.
A musical match where fate drew the trio
together backstage.
Vocalist Brandon Lehti, guitarist Ryan Stead and
bassist Mathew Gendron were 15 when they met at
contest that tested their musical mettle at Garibaldi
secondary.
Five years and many onstage duels later, the pop-
rock trio are on the cusp of rock star success.
The seemingly insignificant battles and church
basement shows are all credited in their evolution.
The battle of bands are a really good way to net-
work, says Lethi.
“I think challenging yourself is good. If you go to
a battle and don’t come out on top, that motivates
you to look at yourself and wonder how can I make
this cooler?”
In 2009, without the help of a record label, The La-
tency’s first single “Tonight, I Love You” received
nation-wide radio play, even charting on Canada’s
Hot AC charts.
The unbelievable support from fans caught the at-
tention of labels, leading to the band’s signing with
Maple Music Recordings.
Since then the band shared the stage with bands
such as Simple Plan, Marianas Trench, Plain White
T’s and Hedley.
They released their self-titled debut The Latency
in September 2009.
Their formula for success? Play as much as you
can.
“Even if you don’t think the show is not going to
be good or there aren’t many people, never say no
to an opportunity when you are starting out,” coun-
sels Lethi.
“Don’t get discouraged. Just keep doing what you
do and one day someone is going to like it. You have
to be a sponge when you are starting out. Be open to
learning from other people and new things, that’s
we like to do and taking it more organically,” says
Lethi.
The new album has branched away from the
tried-and-true recipe of guitar, bass and drums. It
will feature more instrumentation, piano, strings
and horns.
“Never say no to an
opportunity when you
are starting out.”
Brandon Lethi,
lead singer, The Latency
Lethi says it sounds a lot older, more mature.
At 21, Lethi and his band mates have yet to be
tainted by the glitter of being rock stars. They are
eager to share tips and their experiences with other
musicians and fans via Facebook and Twitter.
“I think if you start getting wrapped up in it, your
head’s just going to grow and that never ends well
for anyone,”says Lethi.
After all, he knows it wasn’t just musical genius
that got his band on the radio.
“Honestly just being in the right place at the right
time had a lot to do with it,” Lethi says.
“You still have to work hard but at the end, it’s a
lot of luck.”

Royals beat Cowichan Saturday at
Pitt Meadows Athletic Park by a
score of 9 to 2 that puts them fourth
in the league with a 4-1-1 record.
Head coach Kyle Lukacs con-
gratulated the team in a post-
game talk.
“Good work Graham (Bailey).
Good start to another game. Kole
(Bernard) shut it down, good work.
At the plate a lot better approach.
A lot less strikeouts today.
“We had a lot of pop outs and
ground outs guys, but still those are
more productive than a strike out.”
Lukacs reminded the team that
even though they don’t make base
but advance other runners, it is still
a quality at-bat.
Singling out Colin McMaster who
came back to the dugout beating
himself up over a sacrifice fly that
scored a runner, Lukacs chided the
team.
“Everybody should be out of that
dugout giving him knuckles saying
that’s a productive at-bat, well done.
“And then you should go up to your
next at bat and try to do the same
thing.”
Lukacs also touched on the impor-
tance of consistent lead-offs when
base running.
“Liam (Godfrey) was tipping his
lead-offs, right, when I gave him the
steal sign, he automatically took an
extra half step and he was looking
more aggressive, right, he crouched
down a little bit more, he was ready
to go
You should be looking like that ev-
ery time.”
All-in-all, Lukacs was happy with
the team’s production.

SAND AND GRAVEL PRODUCTS
DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR
At AT&H Industries, the focus is on supplying
a wide variety of sand and gravel products
to everyone from individual homeowners
to large businesses and municipal projects.
They sell everything from premium river sand
to screened sand, river rock and quarry rock,
topsoil blends and aggregates. Co-owner Bud
Long said one of the company’s key principles
is being able to fill large orders without
between Maple Ridge &
Mission. Our access to

Providing quality products and excellent service since 1987
Long said another advantage AT&H offers is
that their location close to downtown Maple
Ridge (at 25450 Lougheed Hwy) makes it easy
for prospective customers to swing by and
have the ability to choose from a variety of
material, something that isn’t easy at many
other remote sand and gravel operations.
“We give people the chance to come down,
see the products and select what’s right for

skimping on the quality of materials involved,
as using better materials can lead to substantial
savings for the customer in the long term.
“We try to sell bulk, good-quality products,”
A GREAT LAWN IS
their property.”
That location also provides substantial
benefits for them from a business side, as it’s
easier for them to truck large loads of material

Long said. “There are probably cheaper
materials out there; initially, they’re cheaper,
but if you have to do more to get compaction
or use more, then you’re paying more.
Long said one particularly notable product
is their river sand, which is dredged right out
of the Fraser River in a sustainable way. Unlike
lower-quality sand, this doesn’t have a lot of
gravel silt in it.
“It’s top quality,” Long said. “It’s washed by
the Fraser. We drain the water out of it.”
The different types of sand they offer can
be used for everything from building roads’
sub-base sections to golf courses and playing
fields to dairy farms. They also offer garden-
blend and turf-blend soil mixes, used for
growing plants and lawns. Their round rock
and quarry rock can be used for everything
from drainage to roads. Long said the quarry
rock in particular has advantages over what
you might get from a gravel pit, as it’s purer
(crushed rock pulled from gravel pits often is
mixed with some sand and silt) and tends to
provide better year-round endurance.
“The quarry material is different than a
gravel pit material,” Long said. “It’s basic
rock crunched down to make rock mulch.
This quarry rock is more or less a bulletproof
material; you can use it all year round.”

back and forth to clients.
“With the price of fuel and all, being close is
a lot better,” Long said.

Long said. “That’s something we have to offer showplace.
for the guy who wants a couple of boxes a

Unlike many sand and gravel companies,
AT&H’s wide variety of products, services and
projects allows them to stay open year-round.
Long said that helps them keep the prices low,

WITHOUT SUPPORTIVE FLIP-FLOPS WITH SUPPORTIVE FLIP-FLOPS

SOLE supportive flip-flops are wear

moldable and orthopaedically designed.
Their unique anatomical shape supports your arches while cradling and
cushioning your feet.

This creates a continuous contact point across the soles of your feet, leaving
no area unsupported. It all adds up to a superior fit, with unrivaled support
and comfort.

Visit us and try the most comfortable flip-flops you have ever worn, guaranteed.
