Two charged
in Pitt rave
sex assault
One with sexual assault, the
other for making child porn
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter

Two more men have been charged in

connection with the sexual assault of
a 16-year-old girl at a rave party last
September in Pitt Meadows.
Charges against Colton Ashton Mc-
Morris of Maple Ridge and Dennis
John Allen Warrington of Langley
were sworn in court on Wednesday,
two months after investigators sub-
mitted their report to Crown.
McMorris, 18, faces one count of sex-
ual assault, while Warrington, 19, is
charged with making child pornogra-
phy, and intending to distribute it.
Both men are scheduled to appear
in Port Coquitlam Provincial Court on
Jan. 12.
The charges stem from the sexual as-
sault of a 16-year-old girl at “Another
Night in Bangkok,” a party held on a
farm at 12993 Harris Rd., Sept. 10. Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

The hottest version of the eVaro
wasn’t going to be unveiled imme-
diately to investors and visitors who
made the trip out from Vancouver
Tuesday night.
First, there was Dreamfilm Pro-
duction’s documentary to watch
about the eVaro and the Maple
Ridge team at Future Vehicle Tech-
nologies, which almost reached the
final round for most fuel-efficient
car in the international X Prize com-

petition in Michigan this past sum-

And first, company founder George
Parker had a detail to attend to.
“I’ve got to get back there to clean
the car.”
He arrived minutes before the
reception at the Maple Ridge Arts
Centre Theatre for the film’s pre-
miere and needed to get to the stage
to put a final buff and polish on the
vehicle.
The car’s been in the shop and
collected some dust and lint, he ex-
plains with some rags and a bottle of
Meguiar’s car polish in hand.
“It’s one of those things. You leave
it to someone else and it doesn’t get
done right.”
With the eVaro story about to go
Canada-wide (Dreamfilm’s two-
hour documentary aired on Discov-
ery TV Thursday), the hope is the
Canada-wide exposure will help en-
tice investors and allow the eVaro to
be mass produced.

the company’s shop in the Maple

“I’m hoping for that. That’s kind of

tres.
He just wants to sell to those who
like the vehicle as it is, with corner-
hugging handling and blistering ac-
celeration – zero to 100 kilometres
an hour in five seconds. Three or
four thousand vehicles a year would
be fine. Target price is $43,000 for
the two-seater. It also has room for
some golf clubs.
Turning it into a four-wheel ve-
hicle would destroy the fuel-sipping
aerodynamics and you’d end up
with a Chevy Volt, he points out.
FVT, though, won’t just take any
money. The investor has to be one
that will allow the company to sur-
vive and thrive and make its cars
here.
“I want the car to go into produc-
tion. I don’t want to sell the car
to do it,” Parker explains. “I don’t
care about numbers. I want to build
something that works.”
Apart from the headlights, the ve-
hicle is road worthy in every coun-
try.
The name eVaro harkens to Park-
er’s principles.
The e stands for electric.
The rest evokes the Avro Arrow,
a leading state-of-the art bomber
interceptor fighter jet that Canada
developed in the 1950s, only to be
cancelled, resulting in the loss of
thousands of aerospace jobs.
“This is kind of redemption for
that,” Parker says.
After a few minutes, he has dis-
pensed with the dust and smudges,
and the car is ready for its debut.
“Now – I can live with that,” he
says with a sigh before heading to
the crowded reception that awaits
the movie.
According to FVT, the car can
recharge in three hours if plugged
into a household receptacle and
takes only an hour to recharge if the
1100-cc Honda Gold Wing motorcy-
cle onboard generator kicks in.
Its range on battery power (the
front wheels are driven by two elec-
tric motors) is 200 kilometres, and
525 kilometres with the gas motor
turning the generator.
Parker says there’s already inter-
est. Magna International wants to
mass produce the vehicle, at a hefty
price.
The company’s also marketing
technology that it developed in the
process – such as a new drive train,
generator, battery systems and cen-
tral vehicle controller that could be
used in other vehicles. Talks are
ongoing to build the drive train for
an electric car manufacturer in the
U.S., said Todd Pratt, CEO. So far,
FVT has contracts with two U.S.
companies to provide components
and engineering services. It’s also
working with a B.C. company to
supply components for power gen-
erators, though that hasn’t been
signed yet.
The film’s premiere filled the the-
atre and brought out Mayor Ernie
Daykin, Couns. Craig Speirs and
Cheryl Ashlie, along with MP Randy
Kamp.
Maybe the eVaro will get people
thinking of Maple Ridge rather than
Detroit, Daykin said.
“We are incredibly, incredibly
proud of you.”
The car is good for the country
and good for the environment, add-
ed Kamp.
“Thanks, guys, for all you do for
this community.”

Going viral
I
f you haven’t already, you may soon hear the
story of Ted Williams, the homeless man from
Ohio with the Golden Voice.
Mr. Williams is 53 years old and for the past de-
cade had been living in homeless shelters and on
the streets, struggling with addictions to alcohol
and drugs – cocaine and crack.
In his past life, he said he went to broadcasting
school and used his deep baritone to emcee events
and work on radio.
Claiming to be free of his addictions for the past
two years, he stood by a highway off-ramp with a
hand-scrawled cardboard sign, asking for donations
to hear his ‘gift.’
A reporting team from the Columbus Dispatch
drove up to where Williams was panhandling earlier
this week, interviewed him and posted a video on-
line. And instantly, Mr. Williams’ life changed, from
sleeping in a tent to being interviewed on the Today
Show to being reunited with his 92-year-old mother.
He has received dozens of job offers, including ones
from Kraft and NFL Films. The NBA’s Cleveland
Cavaliers also offered him a job, and a house.
All of this not because of his voice, for it has never
left him, but because of the internet – YouTube, Fa-
cebook and Twitter. Mr. Williams now has more in
common with Susan Boyle and Keyboard Cat than
Casey Kasem.
It is difficult to digest this type of viral celebrity.
But clearly, Mr. Williams has a unique talent and
a fascinating, if not sad story, which has resonated
with people. It helps that Mr. Williams is gracious

Council has now reviewed our 2011
budget, operational objectives and the
forecasts for each department through
to 2015. This is one of the more grueling
tasks faced by council members, involv-
ing detailed questions in every area of the
district’s operations, and recommenda-
tions priorities based on feedback from
citizens.
Council, of course, is listening, but like
all good citizens everywhere, we are
addicted to telling them that they never
listen. We know our place in the system.

An agreement-in-

Topics range from

Project Highlight - Careers Portal
In December 2010, the District of Maple Ridge launched a new
online application system for job opportunities with the District.
Council’s ‘Vision 2025’ aspires for “Maple Ridge to be among the
most sustainable communities in the world” and the new careers
portal is a further step towards that vision by switching to an
electronic job application system. Job opportunities will be posted
online and applicants will be requested to apply online by building
an electronic profile and uploading their resume. Applicants will
also have the option of keeping their employment profile on the
system and activating a ‘job alerts’ system that will let them know
if a job posting fits their employment profile data.
The new system reduces the filing and storage of ‘paper’ resumes
and creates a confidential database of applicants whose skill
sets may match employment opportunities. It also assists Human
Resources staff to more quickly identify candidates that have
unique qualifications and certifications.
For more information on the Careers Portal and other initiatives
that are making our community more sustainable visit:

Sex assault victim issues statement

Charges from front
Investigators believe that as
many as 12 people witnessed
the incident and “more than
one individual” participated in
it.
A 16-year-old boy was charged
with distributing child porn in
September, after photographs
were shared by cellphone. The
images were eventually posted
on the social-networking site
Facebook.
“When we began this inves-
tigation, we made a point of
speaking out strongly against
what had happened to the young
female victim,” said RCMP Sgt.
Cpl. Peter Thiessen.
“We, and many others in the
community, were outraged
by the distribution of photos
through online social media -
photos that continually re-vic-
timized this young girl.”
Although investigators still
believe more than one person
participated in the sexual as-
sault, RCMP do not anticipate
any more arrests until new in-
formation is brought to their
attention.
“There is still a code of silence
out there that has not changed,”
said Thiessen.
“There are individuals out
there we feel played a signifi-
cant role in this. They know
who they are. We have spoken
to these individuals. They do
have an opportunity to clear
themselves if they choose to.”
A toxicology test for drugs or
alcohol done 18 to 20 hours af-
ter the sexual assault was neg-
ative, but Thiessen said once
the case goes to court, there
will be experts who will speak
to the girl’s state of mind and
the symptoms she showed at
the time of the rape.
Although the girl initially re-
turned to high school in Maple
Ridge, she has since pulled out
of most of her classes and is
completing course work online.
In a statement released by
police, the family said she was
bullied.
“There has never been any
doubt in our minds that our
daughter was sexually assault-
ed. We can only hope justice
will be served and people will
see that this is not acceptable
behaviour in our society. Hope-
fully these charges will prevent
any more attacks on her char-
acter,” said the statement.
The girl too released a state-
ment via police thanking those
who supported her.
“To the people who didn’t sup-
port me, who called me names,
who spread lies about me, thank
you because you made me a
much stronger person than I
ever was before,” she said.

Wake up, make the most of each day
T
his is the time of year
when many people reflect
on their position in life and
determine what priorities they
will have for the next year and
what goals they will set.
Not everyone takes it seriously,
of course, as making New Year’s
resolutions is part conviction and
part humour.
Most of us who make our reso-
lutions public do so with humour
so that if we can’t follow through,
we can go back and say we were
just kidding in the first place.
I am, by nature, a reflective
person. I probably overthink
many issues about my personal
and professional life and I am
constantly setting goals and
revisiting my actions.
The beginning of January is not
much different to me than just
about any other time of the year.
Living this way has taught me
a great deal about the power of
setting goals and the realities of
dealing with life and, thus, I have
a tendency, as a new year begins,
to think a little more holistically
about the year ahead.
What I know is that for some
people, 2011 will be the best one
of their lives; for others it will be
their worst; for some the begin-
ning of new lives with the birth of
children; and for others the end
of life as father time, disease or
misfortune catch up.
In other words, the next year
will be a continuation of what we
know time brings us – great joy,
great sadness, great opportunity

as part of
our strategy
of achieving those goals; we
can commit ourselves to mak-
ing whatever adjustments will
be necessitated by unpredicted
circumstances. But we cannot be
certain how it will all turn out. In
essence, the only thing we truly
have full control of is our own
attitude today.
As a parent and teacher, I
spend a great deal of time talking
to young people about the future.
Not only are they generally
anxious to get there, with the
full anticipation that it holds
day after day of excitement and
freedom for them, but they are
sure that once they get out from
under the control of their parents
and teachers, they will find life
much easier.
Their perception, at times, is
that they are being held back
by the actions of others. I like
to reinforce with them that the
longer they focus on the actions
of others as impediments to their

progress, the longer they will live
under the illusion that they’re
okay and everyone else is messed
up. This provides many excuses,
but few achievements.
My conviction for the new year,
and my advice to my children
and the students who I teach, is
to grab on to life each day and
live it with as much energy and

Life does not always treat us New and emergency

must act. It simply won’t do to sit
around moaning about the short-

Big win
On Boxing Day, Pitt Meadows resident Jon Scholten, 72, checked the numbers on
his Lotto 6/49 ticket and realized he’d matched all six – earning him $3,270,475.30.
Instead of telling his family – which includes a wife, six children, and seven grand-
children – of the big win, he slid the ticket under a rug and said nothing for three
days. “I think I just needed some time to let it sink in. It won’t change me. I already
have everything I need.”

a newly delivered seed catalogue. Rife with
that fresh catalogue smell, we hold in our

It’s a concept that’s
working well at Chris-
lan Ceramics in the
Maple Meadows Busi-

The company has
been quietly producing
ceramic tap handles for
craft brew pubs for two
decades and is now the
largest manufacturer of
its kind in the world.
Its work was recent-

It is one of working
with customers, helping
them succeed and mak-

“Tap handles are the
most important thing
a brewery can have in
a bar,” vice-president
Alan Laninga explains.
“Without a tap handle,
they can’t sell beer.
“It’s very, very impor-
tant.”
After previously mak-
ing decorative glassware
for the beer industry, the
company changed gears
and started making ce-

in the first three months
and four per cent for
the year overall, notes
Laninga, who likes that
aspect of his job.
“To make a good han-

is very important.”
Chrislan uses stone-

durability. With the in-

Walker hits 20% on first Hall of Fame ballot

Maple Ridge
slugger beats out
McGwire, McGriff,
and Palmeiro
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter

It was more than 22

years ago when Larry
Walker Sr. took his
then 22-year-old son
on a road trip to Coo-
perstown, N.Y., to see
the National Baseball
Hall of Fame.
Larry Walker Jr. was
playing short-season
minor ball in Utica at
the time in the Mon-
treal Expos farm sys-
tem. Dad flew out for a
visit, and the pair de-
cided to drive an hour
and half south to take
in baseball’s holiest
shrine before Walker
had to return to play
in a night game.
“I was just so happy
he was playing profes-
sionally at the time,”
Larry Sr. said from his
Maple Ridge home on
Tuesday. “Never did I
think he’d actually be
considered for the Hall
of Fame someday.”
Walker received 118
of 581 possible votes
from members of the
Baseball Writers As-
sociation of America
on Tuesday in his
first year of eligibility
for the Hall of Fame.
Walker’s 17-year major
league career saw him
named an all-star five
times, win the NL bat-
ting title three times,
the Gold Glove Award
seven times, the Silver
Slugger Award three
times, as well as being
named the 1997 Na-
tional League MVP.
Larry Walker Sr. (right) is optimistic his son, major league baseball player Larry
Walker Jr. (left) will some day be inducted to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in
Cooperstown, N.Y.
While Walker was
well shy of the 75 per
cent of votes needed to
be elected, the 20.3 per
cent he garnered eas-
ily surpasses the five
per cent vote mark
needed to make a re-
turn appearance on
the ballot next year.
“I think it’s astro-
nomical, I’m very
pleased with the re-
sult,” said Larry Sr.
“It’s very difficult to
get in your first year,
but I’m very optimistic
he’ll get there eventu-
ally.
“Of course, I’m a lit-
tle biased.”
Toronto Blue Jays
second baseman Ro-
berto Alomar and jour-
neyman pitcher Bert
Blyleven were voted in
to the National Base-
ball Hall of Fame with
90 and 79 per cent of
votes, respectively.
Blyleven was inducted
this year on his 13th
ballot, after receiving
just 17.5 per cent of the
votes in his first year
of eligibility in 1998.
For Larry Sr., Blylev-
en’s induction offers
hope his son will too
someday grace the
halls of Cooperstown.
“He’s still got a lot of
votes to get, so realis-
tically, it could take a
number of years,” says
Larry Sr. “One thing
he has going for him
is that he always got
along with the report-
ers.”
Of the 33 players on
the ballot, Walker fin-
ished 10th in voting,

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS
7 OBITUARIES
THORKELSON
(nee GAUDETTE)
Sherry Lynn Marie
30.06.1957 ~ 20.12.2010
The family of Sherry
Thorkelson is saddened to
announce her sudden and
tragic death as a result of a
car accident near Yale, BC on
Highway 1 while en route
to Prince Rupert to spend
Christmas with family and
friends.
Sherry is survived by her
much loved daughter Julie -
the Light of her Life. She also
leaves behind her parents,
Edith and Lucien Gaudette
(Prince Rupert BC); brother
Darryl (Heather), nephews
Travis and Douglas (Mission,
BC); brother Rick (Nancy), and
nephew Joshua (Maple Ridge,
BC); sister Beverly (Flora),
nephew Benjamin, niece Jillian
(Tristan) and their son Jeremy,
niece Kirstin (Josh) and their
children Peter and Amy (all
of Prince Rupert, BC), nephew
and Godson Robert (Laura)
and their son Nicholas
(Houston, BC); sister Lisa
(Gordie), niece Renee and her
son Brodie (all of Courtenay,
BC). Sherry is also survived by
her dear sister-in-law Joy
(Ken), nephews Cai and Wynn
(Prince Rupert, BC) and by
Julie’s dad, Derek (Pitt
Meadows, BC). Also mourning
her loss are numerous aunts,
uncles, and cousins (especial-
ly her cousin Shelley) and
many, many dear friends.
Sherry loved life, loved people
and was always happy and
upbeat. Sherry was a collector
of friends. She always made
time for her friends and, as a
result, they all felt special. She
was extremely thoughtful and
kind to all. Above all else,
Sherry was a loving and utterly
devoted mother. Julie was the
centre of her universe. We
know she will continue her
vigilant watch over Julie from
heaven. Sherry will be deeply
mourned by her family and
friends and sorely missed
forever. Rest in peace, dear
Sherry.
A Celebration of Sherry’s Life
will take place on January 15,
2011 at 2:00 p.m. at the Pitt
Meadows Heritage Hall, 12460
Harris Road, Pitt Meadows,
B.C. In lieu of flowers, dona-
tions may go to the Royal Co-
lumbian Hospital Foundation.
