Tidal wave of Richmond memories shared online Local Facebook group balloons to over 6,000 members in a single month Alice Wong dines at the Jade Seafood Restaurant on some shark fin soup.

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter There was the A&W drivein and its cool root beer straws on No. 3 Road—a chestnut tree lined street with ditches. On Granville Avenue there was Kentucky Fried Chicken with a giant revolving bucket and an intercom on the wrong side of the drive-through. Nearby, there was McDonald’s and its outdoor playground with the Grimace Cage.

Little is left of the Richmond many remember, but those memories are now being shared online. A Facebook group dedicated to those who grew up here already has 6,350 members since it began a month ago, and countless old photos and stories have been posted.

The huge interest came as a surprise to the group’s founder.

“Initially, I invited people in my list of friends and asked them to pass it on,” said Leah Thom. “The group spread like wildfire among other kindred spirits and I certainly didn’t expect so many people in a short amount of time.”

‘Chinese reputation will be forever mud’ if more shark species disappear, says activist

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Canadians should be able to eat sharks from “legal” fisheries, said Richmond MP Alice Wong in a statement Wednesday.

“I am of the view that shark which comes from a legal, humane and sustainable fishery is no different from any other imported food that Canadians may or may not choose to consume,” said Wong.

The e-mailed statement comes two weeks after the Conservative MP appeared before Chinese news media at the Jade Seafood Restaurant to dine on some shark fin soup. Wong’s Oct. 11 gesture of support for restaurateurs who wish to continue serving the Chinese delicacy caused a stir among those calling for a ban on fins.

In her statement, Wong also reiterated that the federal government “condemns the reprehensible practice of shark ‘finning,’ which has been banned in Canada since 1994.”

Traffic ticket too much for Lamborghini owner Driver of $400,000 luxury car balks after learning of $568 fine

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

An RCMP officer stops a 700-horsepower Lamborghini in Richmond.

A driver of a Lamborghini worth nearly $400,000 has earned a $568 fine from Richmond RCMP—an amount the 22-year-old driver protested was too high.

Around 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 17, an RCMP officer pulled over the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador for a suspected licence plate violation in downtown Richmond, according to a news reRCMP photo lease issued Wednesday afternoon.

“When the police officer stopped the driver, he

“When the officer gave the driver a $568 fine for not having insurance, the driver actually complained the fine was too much money.”

– Cpl. Robert McDonald soon realized that the car was not insured,” said Cpl. Robert McDonald.

“When the officer gave the driver a $568 fine for not having insurance, the driver actually complained the fine was too much money.”

Police had the 700-horsepower sports car towed away.

The driver, a West Vancouver resident, is also the registered owner of the vehicle.

Young people don’t always realize that bullying can be criminal

Activist says shark fin likely came from endangered species

In wake of Amanda Todd, school district considers cyber-bullying workshop for the entire community

From Page 1 But animal activists—along with NDP MP Fin Donnelly who is calling for a ban on shark fin imports—say it’s almost impossible to determine the origin of a shark fin when it arrives in Canada.

Anthony Marr of the Vancouver Animal Defense League said there is a “high probability” the shark fin in the soup Wong ate came from an endangered species.

Marr referenced a recent American study that tested DNA in shark fin soup in 14 U.S. cities. Scientists could identify the presence of shark in just 32 of 51 bowls, and of those, four of five bowls were made with species they identified as endangered, threatened or vulnerable.

“She thinks that she is protecting the Chinese culture and tradition and rights. But I say, as a Chinese-Canadian, that she’s in the process of ruining the Chinese reputation,” said Marr, who has challenged Wong to a public debate on the issue.

“If we continue just a little bit further driving one or two of these species to extinction, the Chinese reputation will be forever mud, and I will hold her personally responsible for it.”

Earlier this year Marr convinced Richmond council to consider a municipal ban on shark fins— something cities such as Toronto have already enacted. City staff are expected to deliver a report to civic politicians before year’s end.

Opinions differ on how endangered sharks are. Just three shark species are facing extinction according to the so-called CITES international agreement.

The conservation group Oceana, however, suggests 50 of 307 species are vulnerable or endangered.

Activists suggest 100 million sharks are killed each year for their fins.

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter The tragic bullying-related suicide of Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd has resonated with millions of people around the globe, and here in Richmond there are efforts underway to raise awareness among youth about the topic.

And the message from local leaders is that bullying can be criminal, it won’t be tolerated, and local youth are doing their part to empower their peers to deal with these types of situations.

Todd took her own life on Oct. 10. Earlier this year she filmed a video detailing the harassment she suffered from an online predator and school bullies, how she descended into drug and alcohol abuse, as well as self harm.

Clayton Tang, community engagement coordinator for CHIMO Crisis Services, said there are regular workshops delivered annually in high schools to deal with issues such as bullying, assertiveness, friendship, diversity, stress management and coping.

Working in partnership with Hugh McRoberts and R.A. McMath secondary schools, as well as local elementary schools, Grade 11 and Grade 12 leadership students are trained by CHIMO to work in teams to deliver the workshops to youth in Grades 6 and 7.

The program, called Stepping Out, aims to provide young children transitioning between elementary school and high school with positive role models, teach them strategies for dealing with important social issues, help them feel more comfortable as they enter high school, and give Grade 11 and Grade 12 students leadership opportunities.

But a lack of funding means the program is only delivered to a handful of local elementary schools, rather than all 40.

With perhaps another $40,000 in funding for another full-time CHIMO employee, more high school students could receive the workshop training, and deliver those meaningful messages to a majority of elementary school-aged kids.

Student leaders from Cambie Secondary have expressed an interesting in being part of the

Amanda Todd’s suicide has raised the profile of cyber-bullying among youth.

Stepping Out program, but Tang said he doesn’t think there are enough resources at CHIMO to make the necessary training for program delivery a reality.

Donna Sargent, chair of the Richmond Board of Education, said it was difficult for her to watch Todd’s YouTube video—which has more than five million views—where she tells her own story through flash cards. Todd took her own life a few weeks afterward.

“I still haven’t gotten it out of my mind,” said Sargent, adding she felt such sadness and just wished she could have hugged her.

“As a board, we spoke about it at the last board meeting...Bullying is something that has to be addressed and is an ongoing issue,” she said.

Many strategies have been put in place to come at the issue from different angles.

Sargent said Todd’s death “re-emphasizes that this work has to keep going, with vigor.”

Cyber-bullying is a relatively new issue, but one the district’s been working on for years.

The district realizes that it needs to educate parents about the technology their children are using, through social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter.

And youth themselves need to be enlightened about the ramifications of what they do online, Sargent said.

In one case, The Richmond Review encountered a local teen who threatened to burn down his school in a message posted on his Twitter account. That information was passed along to the district, and soon after the teen was identified, a brought into the school office to discuss the inappropriate nature of the comment with the principal.

Sargent said youth often don’t realize that what they are saying online is rarely if ever private, and those statements once uttered, are virtually impossible to take back.

And making an anonymous comment is very difficult these days, with the tracking software that’s available.

The district is currently exploring the possibility of having cyber-bullying expert Jesse Miller speak to the entire Richmond school district, including students and parents, about the issue during the current school year.

Sargent said with the advent of smart phones, digital cameras, and social media search engines, means bullying is different today than it was even a decade ago.

“You can’t hide behind your tweet. I don’t think kids really realize that,” she said.

The aftermath of the Stanley Cup riot in 2011 was a great lesson about accountability and wreckless behaviour.

Those people who smashed windows, looted stores, burned cars, and generally rioted through the streets, following the Vancouver Canucks Game 7 loss versus Boston, are being sentenced to jail for their actions after being identified through images from iPhones, TV cameras, security surveillance footage, and other digital cameras.

“Everybody has a phone, everybody has a camera. Yes, it’s easy to say bad things, but now it’s easy to find out who said it.”

Sargent said the school district oftens works with police on issues inside schools.

RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said most young people don’t realize that in some instances, bullying is criminal in nature, and under the right circumstances, can lead to criminal charges being laid, such as harassment or extortion.

“Bullying is something that no one should have to experience and it’s something that we won’t tolerate,” Turley said. “We encourage young people to please give us a call if they find themselves in this situation and we’ll do everything we can to help.”

The Kids Help Phone operates 24 hours per day, and is available for youth seeking help at 1-800-668-6868. In Richmond, CHIMO also provides support to kids from 8 a.m. to midnight at 604-279-7070.

New census data finds two in five locals identify with Chinese languages first

Save-On-Foods Shoppers Drug Mart* Visions Electronics* Walmart*

*Limited distribution

Black Press One in 10 Richmond residents can’t speak either official language of Canada, and nearly half speak a language other than English most often at home, according to new census data.

The results from the 2011 count show local knowledge of English and French is dropping. The latest numbers show 10.4 per cent of Richmond residents had no knowledge of the languages— compared to 8.8 per cent in 2006.

Across the region, 5.6 per cent of the population couldn’t speak English or French.

New census numbers also highlight a growing cultural and linguistic diversity across the region

as a result of steady immigration from Asia.

That’s particularly acute in Richmond, where 40 per cent of residents identified their first language as a Chinese dialect.

Local residents comprise 8.3 per cent of Metro Vancouver’s population, yet the city boasts 23.6 per cent of those who identify Cantonese as their first language, and 22.9 per cent whose mother tongue is Mandarin.

The single most prevalent immigrant language in the region is Punjabi—accounting for nearly 147,000 speakers or 6.4 per cent of Metro Vancouver’s population of just under 2.3 million.

But Chinese languages make up much more if clumped together.

Tagalog is Canada’s fastestgrowing language and is now spoken by 3.8 per cent of Richmond’s population.

Just 58 per cent of Metro Vancouver residents speak only English at home, down from 65.2 per cent in 2001.

Increasingly, Metro residents are speaking both English and their mother tongue at home—that mixed use was reported by 24 per cent, up from 17.8 per cent a decade earlier.

Mother tongue of Richmond residents •English: 69,460 •Cantonese: 30,170 •Chinese (dialect not specified): 24,670 •Mandarin: 20,680 •Tagalog: 7,305 •Punjabi: 5,795 •Russian: 2,140 •Japanese: 2,075 •Spanish: 1,875 •German: 1,595 •Persian (Farsi): 1,175 •French: 1,115 •Hindi: 1,095 •Taiwanese: 1,075 •Arabic: 965 *Source: Statistics Canada

More than seven per cent of the region’s residents said they were officially bilingual, speaking both English and French, while just 0.1 per cent said French was their only official language.

Here are some safety tips to keep ghosts and goblins safe: Fireworks Celebrate wisely! Children should be taught that fireworks are not toys and should not be picked up if found.

The use of fireworks by untrained individuals may result in unnecessary injuries, so why not enjoy a fireworks display by professionals at one of the four local fireworks shows?

Trickers should: • wear flame resistant and light coloured or reflective clothing so as to be seen easily by motorists • carry a flashlight as a light source rather than candles • be able to see well through a mask or use makeup • travel in groups, preferably with a parent or guardian • wait until parents have checked treats before eating Treaters should: • ensure the pathway to their front door is well-lit • only hand out commercially wrapped treats, coupons, gift certificates • drive slowly and watch for pedestrians on the road Please note that Fireworks Regulation Bylaw 7917 prohibits the possession, sale, purchase, or ignition of fireworks in the City of Richmond, except with special permission.

Reliving a simpler time Thom’s love of nostalgia had earlier inspired her to start a Facebook page called “Hey! I Remember That!” which attracted 10,000 fans in a few weeks. That got her thinking about growing up in Richmond, and a place to share those memories was born.

So what’s sparking the tidal wave of posts? Thom figures it’s because Richmond has changed so much so quickly—and those who grew up here want to relive a simpler time.

Growing up in Richmond herself, Thom remembers the close relationships neighbours had in Seafair.

“Our families had parties together and there were always plenty of us alley kids around to play with,” she said. “With that kind of community and awareness, we always felt safe and had many resources to learn from. But I have heard that very few people speak to their neighbours anymore, much less know them.”

Communities key to human experience

Similar groups for other cities have also popped up on the social networking site. The local group’s popularity could indicate a social and psychological attachment people develop—and in some cases retain—for Richmond, suggested University of B.C. sociologist Richard Carpiano.

This personal attachment stems from memories of personal experience—and communities are key that. Through interactions with neighbours, streets, parks, schools and stores, people grow attached to their communities, said Carpiano.

“If you were to ask people to reflect on their most significant life experiences—whether good or bad—it is likely that the community locations where such experiences occurred would be central to their memories of those experiences: playing with childhood friends, first kiss, first job, graduation day, wedding day, birth

New technologies and new social spaces on the Internet have made connecting to our roots easier, said Barbara Mitchell, a professor of sociology and gerontology at Simon Fraser University.

Mitchell said she’s not surprised by the group’s popularity, noting humans have a need to connect with others in

ways that provide meaning and purpose. Connecting to our roots is a natural extension of that.

“Through the sharing of these experiences and the act of nostalgia we can trigger and reflect upon fond and maybe even not-so-fond memories,” she said.

EDITORIAL: There is no more anonymity

T

he death of Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd has served as a stark reminder that people can be unbelievably cruel to one another, and that it will take a village to eradicate the problem of bullying.

But for all the efforts of schools to educate and empower youth, and of the police to heighten awareness that bullying can be criminal, the ultimate bullying message needs to first come from

the home.

With more and more twoincome families living in hyperexpensive Richmond, teens are left unsupervised for the bulk of their days until dinner time in many cases.

Left to their own devices, teens are free to do whatever they want, whether it’s updating their Facebook page on the family computer, or sending out tweets and instagrams on their iPhones and other electronics devices.

In some cases, what’s being sent between teens is inappropriate or

even criminal.

Parents need to accept that teens are communicating differently in the modern world, and that they’d be doing themselves a favour by reading up on social media, including Twitter and Facebook.

Parents need to supervise their children, and step in when they see anything inappropriate, whether it’s the use of foul language or inappropriate behaviour.

But it’s not just the parents who could learn a lesson or two.

Teens themselves are using Twitter as a forum to vent their frustrations, mistaken in the belief that their profanity-laced exultations are only being seen by their group of followers. In fact, there are websites that let users read anyone’s tweets, without ever having to reveal themselves.

And once uttered, those words are just about permanent.

Bullying is unacceptable. And just like the Stanley Cup rioters have now figured out, there is no more anonymity, and there’s accountability for every action.

Tales of Richmond Erin Hanson

T

he days are shorter, leaves gather on the ground, and the winds coming off the Georgia Strait blow cold as I walk along the dyke into Steveston. Halloween is coming, and I’m on a mission to find the spookiest stories Steveston has to offer.

In late September, I went on a walking tour of Steveston hosted by Tourism Richmond. Entitled “Murder, Mayhem and Morality,” the tour explored the seedier side of Steveston’s history— and some of it is, indeed, pretty grim. Tour guide John set the tone by reminding us that, from roughly the 1890’s until the 1910’s, Steveston was a fishing boomtown. I grew up hearing rumours that Steveston was the wildest town in the west, and as a result, Steveston experienced some pretty gruesome crimes. One story John shared with us took place in 1903. Chinese-born gangster “No-Queue Charlie” Sing had found himself in some hot water, and figured Steveston would be a good place to hide out and lay low. However, with plenty of opium and gambling dens, among other illegal activity, Steveston had its own gangster connections,

The brick Hepworth building on the corner of Moncton and Second Avenue is one of Steveston’s oldest buildings.

and Charlie was found in in bed one day with his throat slit. No murderer was ever found.

Around this time, Steveston was notoriously bad for retaining policemen.

One particular incident might have scared prospective police away. One day in 1900, then Chief of Police Alexander Main received a report of stolen property, and went to a nearby farm to investigate. He never returned home. His wife and neighbours couldn’t find him, and Detective Thomas H. Wylie was put on the case. Wylie followed some tips to the dyke near the Britannia Shipyards, and was pointed to a cabin. The cabin’s resident, Yip Luck, denied any involvement.

Luck shared a cabin with a man named Yee Chung, who was bedridden with illness. With guilt weighing heavily on him, Chung tearfully confessed that Luck was in fact guilty, and pointed the Detective to a shallow grave just outside.

There Wylie found Main, disfigured and dismembered, with a brush hook to the head. Luck admitted to murdering Main, but claimed he did it because Main was a corrupt police officer who had been extorting money from Chinese merchants and gamblers in Steveston. Luck had lured him to his cabin with false reports of stolen farm tools, then took his revenge. Luck was hanged for his crime.

Unfortunately, the walking tour is over for the season, but it got me thinking. Given Steveston’s tumultuous past, I figured our village must have some decent ghost stories. The brick Hepworth building on the corner of Moncton and Second Avenue is one of Steveston’s oldest buildings and still has a fading “Steveston Drugs” painted on its side. It survived the fire that virtually destroyed Steveston in 1918. The building still has a burnt post as a reminder. Some

building tenants over the years have claimed that, late at night, they’ve heard footsteps running through the hallway, or the slamming of doors.

When they’ve looked in the hallway to investigate, there was never anyone there. Some have speculated it must be haunted by the ghost of a child, but no one’s ever seen this, and some tenants don’t believe the rumours.

I visited the Gulf of Georgia Cannery, figuring that such a historic building would have some good tales to tell. Although some visitors over the years have claimed they’ve felt a ghostly presence, no staff have experienced anything that couldn’t be explained.

Rapping on windows turned out to be the rain.

The sound of steps across the floors was just a resident raccoon family. And the time a plastic bag eerily travelled across the floor on its own? A visitor accidentally left a bag of still-live

fish behind. We laughed as we discussed the way people get spooked in old buildings. “This cannery definitely speaks to you,” Una McPherson, Visitor Services Coordinator, told me. “Wonderful sounds. You don’t always know where they’re coming from—but it’s all part of the ambience.”

I liked that assessment.

And, as it started to get darker and I headed for home, I thought to myself, maybe it’s not so bad that Steveston doesn’t have so many ghost stories. *** Information on the murders of Charlie Sing and Alexander Main were from the notes of Linda Eversole, Bill McNulty, and Maria Cruz. Thanks to the Steveston Museum, Tourism Richmond, and all the individuals I spoke with for sharing their stories!

CAN YOU BENEFIT FROM DENTAL IMPLANTS?

letters

✓ Are you Missing One or More Teeth or ❏

Garden City lands are the wrong place for aquatic centre, stadium Editor: When a TV crew interviewed me on the Garden City Lands this week, I found they’d just interviewed a citizen who wants community sports facilities in that green space. The facilities might include an aquatic centre, stadium and artificial-grass fields.

Wrong place.

They can only happen if the lands are removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).

But the Agricultural Land Commission has rejected two recent applications for that. Most likely it wouldn’t even listen to a third.

In any case, I followed clues to the source of confusion. It seems the citizen had given undue significance to the “Conservation and Recreation” label on the Garden City Lands in a Metro

Vancouver bylaw map.

The key point here is that B.C.’s Agricultural Land Commission Act always prevails over any local bylaw that conflicts with it. Both the provincial act and the Metro bylaw state that. To the extent of any conflict, the local bylaw has “no force or effect.”

As it happens, though, the proposed non-ALR uses for the lands don’t even fit with the brief Metro description of “Conservation and Recreation.” Its focus is to protect natural assets.

For taxpayers, the problem also adds to our risk in the Musqueam lawsuit. Put simply, it claims the city “unjustly enriched” itself by making a weak failed effort at getting the lands out of the ALR so as to buy the Musqueam’s interest at a depressed price. If the

MP gets it wrong Editor: Traditionally Chinese will consume anything edible that will keep themselves fed. They will eat a lot of food that would not appeal to most North American white folks, such as fish head, organ meats, chicken feet, etc.

It’s just the reality of being traditionally poor—we need all we can get in order to survive.

Culturally we employ whatever methods (long/slow cooking, quick-fried, adding spices etc.) to enhance the flavour. Can we then clarify that the ingredients had nothing to do with “culture” or “tradition”?

Alice Wong is either gullible, naive or unprofessional (or all three)—either way she should be ashamed of herself and resign. If she really believes that she is representing Chinese culture and tradition, she is naive.

Defending some Chinese restaurants’ right to serve shark fin as a tradition and culture, ignoring their only reason for continue serving the dish is the high profit they can make, she is gullible. Opening her big mouth on such sensitive issue and ignore the majority of the public, she is unprofessional. She is not fit to be MP. Phoebe Jones Richmond

park planning assumes the city can get the lands out of the ALR with a good effort, it supports the case against us. The “unjust enrichment” figures work out to $250 million.

Fortunately, informed citizens have shown how the Garden City Lands can simultaneously serve entirely for agriculture, entirely for conservation and entirely for recreation in the open-land park in the ALR. Our justly rich success will flow from our responsible approach: honouring the natural legacies of the lands, valuing community wellness and harmony, and setting firm expectations for excellence.

TD Waterhouse

Raising the Bar for Investment Advice Rickerby Wealth Group (RWG) is firmly focused on becoming one of the elite investment advice groups in the Lower Mainland.

RWG, working under the TD Waterhouse Private Investment Advice umbrella, was launched by industry veteran Shaun Rickerby in 2006 – and now boasts a four-strong team, including former CFL and BC Lions football star, Sean Millington.

The group provides full, comprehensive wealth management – including advice around estate planning, insurance services, and private banking – and typically seeks mature investors with a minimum $300k investment.

“RWG is built on a foundation of transparency and accountability,” says Rickerby. “We work exclusively on a fee-based basis and also provide sophisticated, comprehensive reporting packages to clients – in terms of their portfolio performance – set against a benchmark.

Offering such personalizing, discretionary portfolio management is quite unique.”

Rickerby turned 40 in 2004 and was inspired to shake things up; create something “unique, different and forward-thinking.” He became a Portfolio Manager and restructured and refined his practice – leading to the birth of RWG – then hired football star-turned TV analyst and investment advisor Millington to help beef up the brand.

Millington, a two-time Grey Cup winner and 2010 inductee into the BC Sports Hall of Fame, handles the marketing side of RWG and has helped raise the group’s profile – both through his star power and leveraging this into new ventures, such as his daily early morning segment as a business analyst on Global TV. “Every morning at 6:40 a.m. I give a little market analysis; whatever’s topical in the news that day.” says Millington, who worked as a tunnel analyst for CFL on CBC after hanging up his boots. “We’re also trying to develop the RWG website and get instructional videos posted to supplement our regular audio newsletters.”

Boosted by Millington’s exposure on Global TV – and the group’s rising profile – RWG is actively seeking new clients.

“We do a financial plan, investment policy statement and annual reviews for every client – including detailed performance reporting. We call the package the ”Experience of Shaun”. I wanted to hire another ‘Shaun’ but ended up with a ‘Sean’! Oh well, it still works.”

“Our ambition is for RWG to become a brand that’s a household name – one that’s known for being credible, highly respected and professional both within the industry and in the eyes of the public.”

Young women will go down in history Editor: Two recent events involving two young girls on opposite sides of the globe are having a major impact throughout the world.

Fourteen year old Malala Yousafzai, residing in the volatile region of the Swat Valley in western Pakistan, challenged the Talibans.

A Grade 8 student in the school for girls run by her father, Malala distinguished herself as a strong advocate for the right of girls to get education.

It went against the Taliban philosophy of adamantly opposing the girls getting an education.

Malala fearlessly fought for her right and the right of her peers to be educated. She did this despite the ever present danger to her life.

Luckily, she survived the deadly attack on her by the Talibans. She is now recovering in a hospital in Birmingham, England.

With her bold stand, Malala has

shown to the rest of the world that it takes only one determined person to stand up to the bullies.

Her courage has awakened not only the people of Pakistan but also the entire world community. Even in Pakistan, a stronghold of the Talibans, not only the general population but also the government and the military are outraged at this tragic development.

Malala has shown the way.

It is hard to imagine as to how the bravery of a 14 year old girl can mobilize nations. Something similar has happened here in our own backyard in Metro Vancouver.

The tragic death of 15-year-old Amanda Todd, a victim of bullying, has done the same thing in rallying a nation to do something about this evil. Amanda wanted to be strong. As a matter of fact, according to media reports, she wanted to have a tattoo: Stay Strong. That would remind her of not giving in under any circum-

stances.

Unfortunately, she succumbed to the relentless, cruel and pathetic actions of some despicable individuals.

Since this tragedy, the media has done a commendable job in creating awareness about the curse of bullying. There has been almost non-stop coverage of Amanda’s tragedy and calls to do something to stop bullying at all levels including the social media and cyber bullying.

This matter has even reached the floor of the Canadian parliament.

Let’s hope that some concrete solutions will emerge so that any more Amandas aren’t forced to take their own lives.

Both Malala and Amanda will go down in history as two teenagers who have highlighted the issues affecting them in a very unique manner in different parts of the world.

Balwant Sanghera Richmond

Editor: As a professional in the mental health field and former school trustee, I was both saddened and angry about the death of Amanda Todd. Based on the facts available so far, I think the system had failed her. She had struggled for three years and cried out for help repeatedly before she felt so hopeless that she took her young life. We have always told children to ask for help and report the matter to the authorities when they are bullied.

In Amanda’s case, she did exactly that but it had not prevented this tragedy.

What is clear in her case is that a predator had persuaded Amanda to take some sexual pictures and used them to blackmail her. Why didn’t the police go after the predator sooner? There are many questions left unanswered and the public has the right to know what

went wrong for Amanda when she was suffering and struggling for three long years.

We certainly need to strengthen our anti-bullying programs in schools. But that is not enough!

We also need to treat bullying seriously when prevention is not working and take appropriate actions especially when criminal activities are involved. Amanda’s father said he would like to see schools impose greater consequences for bullies. Instead of their victims having to change schools, as Amanda did four times in the past two years, he said the bullies should be moved.

There is an online petition, initiated by Amanda’s aunt, asking that cyber bullying be treated as a serious crime. Over 100,000 people have already signed at the time this letter is written.

We need to step up and take action. We need to be the ones who reach out when we see this happening. We cannot allow this tragedy to be repeated.

letters Richmond soccer experience has been a balanced one Editor: I read Martin van den Hemel’s “Selfishness slows soccer’s ascent” (Oct. 19) with some interest—and frankly, a great deal of surprise.

My son switched from a Vancouver-based club to the Richmond Youth Soccer Association three seasons ago. In that time, our family have found the RYSA to be particularly assiduous when it comes to conducting player assessment and team formation.

In our first year at Richmond soccer, one of the things that initially struck me was how well-balanced the teams were. That was no small feat as there were 11 teams participating in my son’s age group.

Having subsequently spoken to a number of coaches within the club, it is my understanding that at the house level, the “draft” is based on an evaluation and distribution process that is both transparent and equitable to all the participating coaches.

My impressions of the Richmond Youth Soccer Association are those of a typical soccer parent, and I cannot pretend to understand or know all the machinations that take place behind the curtain.

But as a grassroots “consumer” of what the association has to offer in terms of facilities, coaching, and soccer development philosophy, my experience (and most importantly, that of my son) has been a wholly positive one.

If you want to show off your wealth, then help out a good cause Editor: Isn’t tradition a curious thing? At what point does it morph into people trying to show how wealthy they are by boiling up cartilage that has been sliced off an endangered species while still alive and then the creature is thrown

back into the water to die an agonizing death.

Not all traditions are good. This is one of them. Certain groups need to know that now they are living in Canada, nobody cares how much money they have.

We are not impressed by wealth being flaunted

about; in fact, it is considered bad taste to do so. We believe it is more important to use money wisely, such as leaving a healthy environment for our children to flourish in. We believe that living in huge mansions does not make you any better than your neighbour

Flu Shot Clinic

community in the world to provide a 100 mile banquet. You will be seen as visionaries and will be emulated. Your importance will soar to new heights when you offer your guests a meal so in keeping with the times we live in that it will become a tradition, going forward thousands of years.

Think how well you would be regarded by your peers. No longer will they have to try and impress by spend-

living in the small house next door, and that your gas guzzling juggernaut still gets you to the same place as a smaller, more fuel efficient vehicle.

So may I suggest a new tradition for those who believe serving up shark fin soup (and other endangered species delicacies) makes you look important.

How about serving up a feast of locally produced food that is legally harvested?

You could be the first

ing their money on exorbitant soups or be judged at weddings on whether the shark was really in agony when its fin was sliced off, or whether it was just feigning it. You would be regarded as saints in your community.

However, if you still felt you needed to show off your wealth, you could add another element into the plan. You could donate the money you would have spent on the soup to foundations,

such as those trying to save the almost extinct orangutans, or trying to help stop the ivory trade in Africa …. The possibilities are endless. During the meal, you could show a film of where the money you saved on your feast has now gone towards protecting endangered species rather than destroying them.

That my friends would really show your true worth!

10 tips to building a good resume 1. The Basics: Formatting LIke any good brand, your resume needs to be eye-catching and effective. Choose a professional font, such as Arial or Times New Roman, and ensure the font size is legible, generally 10-12 point, except for your name and headings which can be larger and bolded.

Most hiring managers prefer an at-aglance format, using bullet points rather than paragraphs, although ensure you keep your sections lined up and consistent throughout the document.

Be cognizant of the length -- 1-2 pages for less experienced and non-management roles and 3 pages for senior-level applications. Also, proof read, proof read, proof read. Surveys have shown that as many as three out of four hiring managers will discard a resume with as few as 2 typos.

2. Reverse chronological or functional? That is the question.

Most hiring managers prefer a reverse chronological format -- listing the most recent job first with previous jobs following. This gives them a more fluid account of your career progression and typically highlights the most pertinent skills in greatest detail. This may not be the right format, however, if you have any breaks or gaps in employment or if you have a fragmented background with many jobs, professions or industries worked in a short time period. In this case, a functional resume -- summarizing key areas of experience -- may be a better solution. Another option, however, is

using a reverse chronological resume and closing the gaps or fragments in employment. For instance, if you did temporary work or education between permanent roles, list this information.

LIkewise, if you performed the same job function with several companies in a short time period, group this information together.

3. How much is enough?

When looking at levels of experience, how much should be included on a resume? For older job seekers who fear age discrimination, you don’t need to include your full career summary.

While situations differ based on the number of jobs held, think of including either the last 3-4 jobs or 15 years of experience, whichever is less. For those lacking experience, it is acceptable to include voluntary, unpaid or relevant educational involvement on your resume. If you were a committee member of a student club or volunteered for a non-profit organization, extract those duties and indicate why that experience is relevant in your career progression.

4. What’s too personal?

As marketing techniques vary by country and culture, so do resumes.

What may be expected in some countries is not required in North America, generally because it can lead to discrimination. You do not need to reference your marital status, age, children, ethnicity or religion. Also, don’t include a photo. While you may be trying to convey your level of professionalism,

instead include a link to your LinkedIn page or similar where you can include a professional headshot which, through this medium, is an acceptable and even expected practice.

5. List accomplishments, not just duties Companies are looking to make an investment in employees, in fact, aside from real estate, labour is the highest cost to a company. You therefore need to prove your return on investment.

Most hiring managers know what the basic duties include for most roles. To stand out, you need to demonstrate that you are a valuable employee who goes above and beyond.

6. Use keywords to get noticed Many companies, particularly those that are large or are household names receive hundreds, if not thousands of resumes, and therefore use a recruitment program to sort applications.

They do so by scanning your resume for keywords that match the requirements for the role. Review a few job postings that interest you and pay attention to certain keywords that stand out. Ensure you include these throughout your resume and cover letter, keeping in mind that they should appear at least three times, preferably near the top. This will increase the chances of your resume passing the initial screening and getting into the hands of the hiring manager.

7. Power-up Reduced, improved, accelerated, launched, identified, eliminated and

managed -- these are all power words that may be included in your resume.

By starting each bullet point with one of these action words, your CAR statements will have more impact and you will demonstrate to employers that your actions produced results.

8. What are your priorities?

You’ve identified your CAR statements and used power words to describe them, the next step is ensuring that you are referencing those points that are priorities in your desired job.

Similar to including key words, ensure that those duties that are most closely related to the job you are applying for are at the top of your experience for each job function. This will make it easier for hiring managers to match you to the role.

9. Target specific opportunities

Just as it is important to customize your cover letter, you’ll have a leg up if you also do so for your resume. While this requires more time and attention to detail, you’ll increase your chances of being noticed by hiring managers.

Review the job posting and ensure you list the keywords, job priorities and CAR statements that are most pertinent to the role. Consider including a specific career objective or goal that directly relates to the job and if desired, include the company name in the statement.

10. Not all resumes are the same Still uncertain about how to profile your specific skills and experience to a job within your field? A resume for the hospitality industry naturally differs from that of an accountant or labourer.

Review examples online to ensure that you are presenting an accurate depiction of yourself and your experience.

Like all good brands, you need to manage your resume and professional profile. With social media making it easier than ever for employers to check up on you, it is essential that you maintain a consistent and professional image across LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and any blogs you may write or participate in. In addition to ensuring that there are no disparaging remarks or unwanted photos that are visible, you also need to ensure your LinkedIn profile supports what you have referenced in your resume.

Richmond’s Vincent Ma has a few tricks up his sleeve, and he’s sharing his knowledge with others.

With three simple rings, or maybe five, perhaps six, Vincent Ma had a room of young children transfixed.

He let “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” do the talking as he dished out tricks through the entire song for his daughter’s birthday.

The kids’ fascination mirrored his own when he got hooked on magic as a child. Now he’s sharing his skills with others—never mind the rule that magicians never reveal their secrets.

On Nov. 3, Ma will present the first of two local magic workshops this fall, where people with an interest in the art can pick up a few party tricks of their own.

Ma, a 40-year-old trilingual Richmond resident, has dabbled in magic for much of his life until two years ago, when he saw Taiwanese magician Lu Chen put on a show at River Rock Casino Resort. Ma was so impressed he decided to get serious. He learned, created and practised, and discovered his hands were still fast. His self-taught tricks were working.

“I’m smart on these things—(but) no cooking, no swimming, no hockey,” he laughed.

Today he’s a part-time magician and a full-time firstaid attendant. He performs both stage magic and close-up magic, using cards, coins, rings, balls and other magic toys to impress his audiences at parties and events.

What’s stuck with him is a memory from Hong Kong, where a magician was performing at a shopping mall.

Amid the buzz surrounding the performance, the word “miracle” was used to describe his feats.

Said Ma: “I also hope to get ordinary people (to) learn magic (and) unexpected gains and joy.”

H o n o u r i n g t H o s e w H o H av e decided to give back r i c hm on d Ho sp i ta l Fo un dati on L e a d er s h ip award The birth of their daughter Pauletta at richmond Hospital drew special attention to the medical and health care professionals that mean so much to our hospital’s success. They felt these individuals deserved to be well supported to provide the best patient care to all the people of richmond.

For Paul & Loretta inspiration quickly led to action. today, they continue to contribute significantly both financially and with their time and talent in support of richmond Hospital Foundation. Paul serves on the board of directors for the Foundation and is a two-time chair of the community cares radio-telethon. Loretta is a member of both the asian development advisory committee and the starlight gala committee. when asked about the leadership example they’d like to set for others, Paul & Loretta offered the following.

Paul Oei and Loretta Lai have led by example with their visionary leadership and exceptional commitment to richmond Hospital Foundation.

Their path to becoming philanthropic leaders was first inspired by their peers who raised their awareness of the needs of our medical system. Paul & Loretta felt they were fortunate for their success in the financial industry, and now was the time to give back to help our broader community.

“Working together we can accomplish a lot more than we can accomplish alone. Our drop helps – but if everyone adds theirs, no matter how small, we’ll have a full ocean of support.”

For all they have done, and all they continue to do, we congratulate Paul & Loretta as the inaugural recipients of our richmond Hospital Foundation Leadership award.

richmond hospital is a place that everyone in our

community will need to visit at some point in their lives. it’s a place filled with exceptional medical professionals and health care workers that consistently go above and beyond to provide quality care for patients. But moreover, it’s a place that relies on the generosity of our entire community to meet the growing health care needs of richmond.

guests of the 14th annual starlight gala opened their hearts and gave generously to help richmond hospital Foundation provide our medical professionals with the tools they need to provide exceptional patient care.

To each and every one of them, we say thank you for helping us improve local health care.

Our Leadership ChaLLenge: impro ving stro ke r e ha b i l i tati on s er vi c e s Can you imagine not being able to speak, swallow, walk, write, or perform simple tasks of daily life? For a stroke patient, this can be a frustrating reality - and stroke could happen to anyone, at any age. guests of the 14th annual starlight gala generously donated funds to improve richmond’s rehabilitation facilities, helping to purchase items such as assessment and diagnosis tools, gym & mobility equipment, and everyday life tools that will help patients regain their independence.

“Studies show that the more quickly stroke patients can undergo rehabilitation after their stroke the more likely they are to recover faster and have better outcomes. Thanks to the Foundation’s generous donors, we’ll now be able to improve our rehabilitation equipment in ways that will make a difference.”

the lovely little movie I borrowed last week from the Ben and Esther Dayson Judaica Collection at the Brighouse (Main) Library. An Israeli movie

delightfully unassuming young man whose main activities are cooking and taking care of his aging, ill grandfather, his dissatisfied and overbearing mother, and his arrogant older brother.

The dysfunctional family dynamics (which includes the father who’s been banned from the house for philandering) offer up most of the laughs in this humorous film.

Teenage Shlomi attends school but his heart isn’t in it and his grades are suffering. Thinking he’s going to flunk out anyway so why bother, Shlomi throws away a partly completed math test paper in frustration because his teacher wants the class to show the steps they took to arrive at the answer, and he can’t do it. Little does Shlomi know that this act of frustration will change his life irrevocably.

When it comes to light that Shlomi is actually brilliant at math, the principal has great plans for him. Being the rather shy kid that he is, Shlomi doesn’t immediately warm to the idea of moving to Haifa to attend a school for gifted kids. He’s too busy being smitten with Rona, the beautiful 18-year-old girl next door whose passion is gardening.

But when the principal begins mentoring Shlomi in earnest, it opens up a whole new world for him.

Understandably, he ends up feeling conflicted because he’s torn between abandoning his family and moving to Haifa to start a new chapter in his life, where his talents will be recognized.

Throughout the movie it’s clear that Shlomi’s real passion is baking and cooking, which he does daily for his family and others whom he wants to please. When his heart opens up to the sensitive beguiling girl next door, Shlomi blossoms like a desert flower.

The sweetness of the story, interwoven with the humour of his family’s craziness makes for a delightful visual mix. Shlomi will steal your heart for sure. The grandfather, alternating between moments of dementia and clarity, is also a shining star in his own right. If you’re looking for some heartwarming, light entertainment, this one’s a winner.

Poolside sacrifices pay off Youth Reporter

The Richmond Rapids Swim Club’s senior medley relay team paved its road to success with daily sacrifice and has three championship titles to show for it.

On this chilly October evening, the team is at Steveston Outdoor Pool. But while a cold day often calls for hot chocolate and a blanket, this night is anything but restful for the swimmers. The athletes plunge into the frigid waters of the pool. Several lifeguards and parents, all in thick coats or parkas, are huddled together on the deck.

The athletes are watched closely by coach Robert Pettifer. As several swimmers complete their lap of backstroke kick, their time dismays Pettifer.

“Way too slow with fins on. Pick it up you guys,” he yells.

For members of the team, the grind of training is all too familiar.

Teens Brandon De Costa, Liam Kell, Nicolaas Dekker, and Michael Jakac-Sinclair have swum for the club throughout their entire careers.

They’ve earned numerous accolades along the way.

At the 2011 Canadian Age Group Championships, the team won the national title in the 200 medley relay. Nine months later, they became the provincial cham-

pions in the same event at the AAA Short Course Championships, despite being the youngest team in the race. In July, the group repeated as provincial champions in the AAA Long Course Championships.

Of course, the road to success hasn’t been easy.

The athletes swim about 36 kilometres at practice every week, and go to the gym every other day.

It’s a schedule that demands discipline.

“I have to make a lot of sacrifices, such as not hanging out with my school friends, eating what I want or sometimes just relaxing and doing nothing at home,” says Jakac-Sinclair, who began year-round swimming at the age of 13.

Hanging out is important to many teens but it’s often something the athletes have to give up.

“Social life? What is that?” Kell says.

With nearly 10 practices a week, each about two hours long, spare time disappears as well.

“The biggest sacrifice we have to make is losing all of our free time.

All of the hours of our days are dedicated to school or swimming,” he says.

De Costa agrees.

“I had to stop doing the other sports that I was [involved in], such as hockey, rugby, basketball and volleyball.”

Opinion

We Day delivers motivational message

by Anushka Kurian Youth Reporter

One person, no matter how inspired, can never make a change.

But 18,000 people can.

Thousands of teens were mesmerized last Thursday by the inspiring words of numerous speakers (including X Factor judge singer/actress Demi Lovato, and social rights activist Archbishop Desmond Tutu) at Free the Children foundation’s annual We Day event at Roger’s Arena.

We Day is a one-day event that, after gathering and motivating countless youth, inspires a yearlong chain of events and fundraisers that inspire local and global change.

It was my first We Day, and as I stumbled through the crowd and settled myself in my seat, I had not the slightest inclination of the roaring sea of emotion I was about to be engulfed by.

I’d heard about the impact We Day had on kids before, but my skepticism was high.

But then the show began. Almost immediately after the first few speakers had finished, the air was buzzing, and I found myself riding on a rolling wave of emotion, a stream of feeling that was not composed of the individual people of the audience, but the entire stadium itself.

When Sydney Bouillard, a 12-year-old girl who has been fundraising for poverty since she was only 9, said: “It doesn’t matter what age, size, or colour you are. You’re made to change the world. We are born with a spark inside of us, and it’s our duty to light our sparks, turn them into a flame, and keep it going,” a friend to my left let out with a gasp: “Wow, that little girl is amazing. I’m so inspired right now.”

A very steady theme underneath the variety of causes seemed to be bul-

lying.

Molly Burke, a visually impaired youth, shared her own personal experiences with bullies.

“It is our time to stand up for what we believe in, to make the world a better place. I couldn’t see the faces of the girls who bullied me. But I found my voice, and my voice is strong. You have your voices too. Together our voices are strong, powerful and loud. United we are one voice.”

As my school’s group was leaving, I overheard several kids chattering about ideas to make a difference.

We Day has, as it somehow manages to every year, inspired a drive in the youth of today to work hard for a brighter tomorrow.

Popularity has its price

by Angelica Poversky Youth Reporter

The lunch bell rings, and a large group of friends laugh and gather together.

Some shadow this popular clique, aspiring to join their ranks.

Some teens think being in the popular crowd is all fun and games, but for some members of this group, the pressure of fitting in forces them to compromise their principles.

A local 14-year-old girl, who asked to remain anonymous, says being a member of the group is stressful and shouldn’t be desired.

“I think the challenges are constantly having to be good enough for the group of people you are hanging out with and not actually being

yourself,” she says.

If some members of the “in crowd” believe the pressure of living up to popular status is not worth the trouble, why do some teens believe being popular is so important?

“Most of the time you think you need to impress someone to get them to like you and you think you will be popular,” says 14-yearold R.A. McMath secondary student Gavin Dosanjh.

“People need to accept you for who you are.”

Angel Lin, a Grade 9 student at McMath, believes most of the time it is the fear of being an outcast that makes high schoolers strive to be popular.

“People would feel like they’re not good enough, they’d think to themselves, ‘Why am

Airbrushed photos still pose a problem to many girls, according to some local high school teens

by Anushka Kurian Youth Reporter

Some Richmond youth still feel the pressure of living up to the standard of beauty imposed by models altered to literally look picture perfect.

Earlier this year, a petition criticizing retouched model photos in youth magazines received over 84,000 signatures from teens.

It prompted Seventeen magazine, a fashion and lifestyle publication for girls, to stop digitally enhancing photographs of its models.

While people are starting to frown upon airbrushed photos, several locals believe altered pictures still influence Richmond youth.

They say many local

“My regular schedule is eat, morning practice in the gym, eat, school, eat some more, swim practice, eat, homework, and sleep,” says De Costa. “Then repeat.”

A swimmer’s lifestyle may not seem all that appealing or glamorous.

But the team has seen the rewards of their diligence and sacrifices. Now, they are hungry for more.

“For the long course season, the [team’s goal] is to win Nationals again,” Jakac-Sinclair says.

In the AAA Short Course Championships, the group narrowly missed the provincial record by .09 of a second.

This year, they are shooting for the national record.

The discipline of a swimmer’s lifestyle is a challenge, but it pays off.

“I think the sacrifices are definitely worth it,” says De Costa.

“When the successes come, it is all worth it in the end.”

girls aspire to be thin with stylish clothes, big eyes, thick eyelashes, and a cosmetic-covered face.

Jennymae Lapurga, a 14-year-old Grade 9 student at Hugh Boyd, says: “Media has started this trend and obsession to become a perfect girl, as if it is possible to constantly make yourself look like you’ve just stepped off of the cover of a magazine.

Every girl seems to want to be picture perfect.”

She says the pressure of fitting in makes these teens aspire to an unrealistic standard of beauty.

Girls like Lapurga question if pursuing the perfection of airbrushed photos is worth the effort.

Maymoona Gaid, a 14-year-old girl attending Hugh Boyd, values sports and academics over physical appearance.

She believes living up to social expectations isn’t worth the trouble.

“Girls need to decide who they’re letting rule their lives, themselves, or the people around them,” said Gaid.

“Acting and looking like someone you’re not just for a reputation that is going to fly away the

values.

“We have to recognize that a person’s beauty lies not in the amount of powder on their face but in the amount of goodness in their heart,” said Lapurga.

“We can’t let the media decide what’s beautiful.

We need to decide for ourselves.”

Gaid draws a similar conclusion.

“You don’t need to impress anybody but yourself,” said Gaid.

“You know you’re beautiful when you can look in the mirror and be proud of the person you are, not the Barbie you look like.”

OUR CITY ¦ OUR YOUTH ¦ OUR VIEW ¦ Aloha Tower was the first finishing site for the Ironman competition, which has been around since 1978.

Iron woman shows nerves of steel in competition

by Angelica Poversky Youth Reporter

Richmond’s Danica Johnston battled a health condition to conquer the Ironman this year.

And she did it all at the age of 18.

The ultra-endurance, 17-hour triathlon— consisting of a 3.8-kilometre swim, 180-kilometre bike ride and 42.2-kilometre run—taxes even the most seasoned athletes.

However, Johnston completed the task while suffering from an iron deficiency.

Her story begins with her aunt, a former contestant, whose struggles in the competition inspired Johnston’s interest in the sport.

Eventually her curiosity grew, and she went to

Penticton to cheer on athletes at Ironman Canada last year.

The experience, combined with her aunt’s support, drove Johnston to decide she’d make her mark in the competition.

“There was such a strong energy; I felt inspired,” says the teenage athlete. “Soon after that day I signed up for Ironman Canada 2012.”

Johnston began her training in December 2011, but problems began to surface.

Even with constant efforts to maintain her health, Johnston encountered physical problems.

Three months before the race, her iron deficiency began to take its toll on her.

She needed to keep training but constant weakness and exhaustion drained her, forcing her to rest.

The condition, hypoferremia, forced her to use supplements and change her schedule to adjust to the challenges.

“I got iron shots because of how low it was,” says Johnston. “It slowly got better when August came around.”

She felt the training was brutal, and began questioning it.

“Why am I even doing this?” she wondered.

However, on the day of the race, on Aug. 25 at 7 a.m., Johnston felt no remorse.

“When I was out there I was surrounded by hardworking people that were happy to be out there, and so was I,” she says. “There was such a positive energy and the spectators were great. I had my whole family there, which was incredible.”

She was now amidst 2,600 competitors at the starting line of Ironman

in Penticton.

The swim went well, but cycling would prove to be a challenge.

After riding 160 kilometres uphill her bike chain broke, making it impossible to pedal.

With 20 kilometres left and one hour until the cycling time limit was up, Johnston picked up her bike and ran.

She was in danger of being disqualified from the Ironman.

“It was a low moment of the day where I didn’t think I was going to make it.”

Johnston struggled through to reach a support vehicle, which fixed her bike in less than two minutes.

It allowed her to finish the cycling portion with 12 minutes remaining.

The 42.2-kilometre run was next.

Johnston ran and kept pushing herself

further, knowing if she stopped, she would not be able to complete the competition.

Near the end of the race, her aunt—her initial inspiration—ran alongside her, while her other family members and friends cheered and helped fuel her drive to

keep going.

“Looking back, it was probably the strongest I felt all day when they were beside me,” she said.

She crossed the finish line at 11:51 p.m., nine minutes before the event’s time limit, rushing through the spectators’ hands.

Cheers erupted as she crossed the finish line.

“I did it for myself but I hope my story can give someone else hope, or inspire them to go out and achieve something big that they didn’t think was possible,“ Johnston said.

Five-year plan has new school site at top of list Land for new city centre school, seismic upgrading of James Gilmore Elementary and addition to Blair are highest priority items

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter The Richmond School District has released its five-year capital plan, and at the top of the list is the acquisition of land for a new City Centre Elementary School.

In a report authored by Clive Mason, director of facilities and planning

for the district, and presented last week to the Richmond Board of Education, the list of highest priority projects also includes an addition to Archibald Blair Elementary, and the seismic upgrading of James Gilmore Elementary, which could cost $14.3 million.

“The purchase of this land continues to be included in the School

Sites Acquisition Bylaw, and is of the utmost priority,” Mason said of the city centre school project. “Several optional sites have tentatively been identified by staff and are being used to exemplify the funding required.”

The new $37.4 million city centre school would have a total capacity of 500 students, but upon

opening would accommodate 60 Kindergarten and 250 students to establish a catchment area at City Centre that would help relieve enrollment pressure on Cook, Brighouse and Tomsett elementaries.

At Blair, which currently exceeds capacity by roughly 80 students and has five portables on site, action needs to

be taken immediately to deal with enrollment pressure, Mason wrote.

The plan for Blair calls for $8.1 million to be set aside.

Seismic upgrading of Gilmore is required right away, as three of the four blocks identified by the province as earlier being High Risk 2, are now deemed the highest seismic risk, he wrote.

At Tomekichi Homma Elementary, capacity has been exceeded by about two dozen students.

“Should the French Immersion programme remain it its present form at the school, additional space will be required by the fourth year of the plan,” Mason wrote.

This has been pencilled in for year five of the five-

year plan, at a cost of $2.2 million.

And while James Whiteside Elementary was previously a priority for replacement in the earlier plan, that’s not so much the case any more, as enrollment pressures have been eased.

Instead, the district has Whiteside pencilled in for a replacement in the fourth year of the fiveyear plan, at a cost of $12 million with a new 480-student school.

Other big ticket items on the five-year capital plan include building envelope upgrade at Blair Elementary ($2.6 million) and at Robert J. Tait Elementary ($2.4 million). An energy system upgrade at R.C. Palmer Secondary is billed at $658,000.

Changes aimed at unclogging courts

by Tom Fletcher Black Press Attorney General Shirley Bond has launched a new court management system designed to improve efficiency and cut down the backlog of criminal cases.

The changes are based on a review of the system conducted by lawyer Geoffrey Cowper, which analyzed a “culture of delay” that resists change. Cowper concluded the problem is partly because there is an incentive, particularly for defence lawyers, to delay cases, and no system for enforcing timely hearings of evidence.

Bond announced the first phase of changes, including the establishment of a new oversight organization.

“The Justice and Public Safety Council will be asked to publish performance measures, and we’re going to look at designing and determining what those measures are, and there will be targets attached to them,” Bond said at a news conference in Kamloops Monday.

Don Fennell photos Richmond Sockeyes could be without both their starting goaltenders next week as Payton Lee has been called up by the Vancouver Giants and Kootenay Alder fills in for the Penticton Vees.

Sockeyes’ goalies soaring to new heights Payton Lee, Kootenay Alder both being given chance to take games to higher level

by Don Fennell Sports Editor The Richmond Sockeyes take a lot of pride in developing hockey players, a list that continues to grow exponentially.

But their success comes at a cost for the local Junior B team.

Just as the season began, and amidst a string of injuries, they lost Justin Rai to the B.C. Hockey League’s Prince George Spruce Kings. And this week the Pacific International Junior Hockey League’s model franchise learned it may soon be without both of

its starting goaltenders—at least temporarily. Payton Lee joined the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants on Monday and Kootenay Alder, who is affiliated with the Penticton Vees of the B.C. Hockey League, is expected to join that team next week on a fillin basis while Chad Katunar tries out for Team Pacific. That club will participate in the World Junior A Hockey Challenge in December.

“Developing players is what we’re here for, but this is the first time we’ve had both goalies plucked at the same time,” said Sockeyes’ general manager

Richard Petrowsky. “It’s a domino effect but it’s what we have to deal with and it’s why we’ve got affiliates.”

So while Alder was expected to play for the Sockeyes in their two games this week (Thursday at home versus Aldergrove Kodiaks and Friday at Abbotsford), the team was still without Lee and had to call up two affiliates of their own. Adam Cronier was expected to be the backup Thursday and Jame Guichon Friday, with next week’s goaltending picture remaining unclear.

“We still don’t know if Lee will

stay with the Giants or return to us,” said Petrowsky.

Lee, 16, sported the second-best goals-against average—1.81—in the PIJHL when he was recalled by the Giants for which he played Wednesday in a 3-2 WHL loss to the Brandon Wheat Kings at the Pacific Coliseum. Lee, who has four wins in six PIJHL games this season, is widely considered to be the Giants’ goalie of the future but was assigned to the Sockeyes at the start of this season so that he could play a lot and develop his skills. But with the Giants (2-9-0) struggling out the gate, they de-

cided to give Lee a shot and see if he might be be able to help turn their fortunes around.

“We want to be able put our best foot forward to win every game.

But in saying that we have realize these opportunities don’t grow on trees and this is a big shot for these kids,” said Richmond head coach Aaron Wilbur. “We have to remind ourselves of that and respect the fact they’ve worked really hard to get where they are today.

“It’s the same at every level— you play well and more doors open,” he added.

champion Islanders FC have only one win in their five matches this season and are currently tied for fifth and last with Kelevra in the Premier Division.

The Islanders’ slow start can be at least partly attributed to losing two key players from last season—Mateo Serka and Panos Backas.

“I think they’ll figure out how to get over this, but it speaks to how competitive the league is,” says RSSA president Steve Valenzuela. “And at that level (Premier) you certainly can’t take anything for granted.”

The Clippers leading the First Division standings is also somewhat of a surprise, considering they’ve placed in the middle of the pack in each of the last few seasons. But with

three wins in their first five games (Istanbul Spor also sports the same record), the Clippers, like most of the 10 First Division teams, are proving that every game counts.

“Typically the top two teams earn promotion, but at the end of this season that could be any of six teams,” says Valenzuela. “That excites me because it says the level of competition is really good.”

Currently, only three points separate first place from sixth in the division.

But the biggest surprise of all is the remarkable record being compiled by the firstyear Graduates.

Leading the Second Division with a 4-0-1 record, the Graduates also boast a goal-differential of plus 11.

see that level of success from graduating youth teams,” says Valenzuela. “Usually the jump to adult soccer is a pretty big one, but they’ve obviously taken some time to focus on putting together a real quality team that was prepared to meet the challenge.”

Valenzuela says the Graduates’ success is “very positive” and expects it will inspire other teams, especially youth teams, looking to join the RSSA in the future.

Two years ago, the Rangers and Sockeyes joined the Third Division (no longer in existence) as expansion teams, but it’s taken both teams a while to get on track.

This season, however, the Rangers are just a point back of the Graduates with a 4-10 record. The team has scored a league-high 24 goals and given up just nine.

For all the surprises, there remain at least a couple of constants—

the All Blacks and Athletics.

Consistent challengers for Premier Division supremacy, the All Blacks currently lead the division with a 5-0-0 record in which they’ve outscored their opponents 17-1.

Athletics are second at 4-1-0 and have outscored their foes 13-3.

The Athletics edged out the All-Blacks for division honours last season.

Collection 45 pairs up with Vancouver Contemporary Art Gallery

Indulging your artistic side In partnership with the Vancouver Contemporary Art Gallery, Collection 45 is introducing Art Studio 45, a studio facility that will give a local artist an amazing opportunity.

Collection 45 is a condominium building in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant neighbourhood featuring studio, oneand two-bedroom homes.

Now, a space will be set aside in the building for one artist to have an art studio where he or she can work.

“We wanted to promote contemporary art within the community,” says Ameet Johal, marketing director for Fifth Avenue Marketing.

“We consider the homes to be like a piece of art,” she says, adding, “The residents are all very design-savvy people.”

The artist will be chosen by the executive director of the VCAG, Nigel Prince, and then will hold the studio space for one year.

“They will put a panel together, call for submissions with some requirements, and then make a decision,” on who the artist will be, Johal says.

The artist will be able to take possession of their studio in late 2013.

For more information about the art initiative, visit www.collection45.com.

have your own little piece of the outdoors.

Bluetree has also provided 1,800 square feet of amenity space for its homeowners, including a fitness room and lounge with a full kitchen and bathroom.

“We are committed to delivering an extraordinary home-buying experience from beginning to end,” says Kasahara.

“We come from ParkLane Homes and its 30-plus years of award-winning

customer satisfaction. Bluetree’s Customer Care program will build on this tradition of ensuring a long-term commitment to our customers, long after the keys are handed over.”

Homes start at $199,900. For more information, visit www.bluetreehomes. ca or call 604-939-8874. The Bluetree Home Store is located at 1020 Austin Ave. beside Cyclone Taylor Sports and is open between 12 and 5 p.m. every day.

Vibrant neighbourhood in Coquitlam

Bluetree brings a French feel to Mackin Park

By Kerry Vital

Bluetree Homes is bringing modern style to a heritage neighbourhood with its newest project, Bluetree Homes at Mackin Park.

“There are lots of options for buyers in the Coquitlam area,” says Yosh Kasahara, general manager of sales and marketing for Bluetree Homes. “What we can offer here is the best value for the dollar in this market. You simply cannot find a comparably appointed home in a location this good, built by a developer with a stellar track record, all for this price.”

Bluetree Homes at Mackin Park is located in the heart of Maillardville, a walkable, village-like community with a rich sense of history.

“The building will serve as a new landmark for this community that already has so much going for it,” says Kasahara. “In addition to shopping, restaurants, parks and other amenities within walking distance, it has a vibrant past rooted in its French-Canadian heritage.”

Top-rated schools, including some with French programs, are also within walking distance of the homes at Mackin Park, so the area is as great for

young families as it is for professional couples and downsizers.

The inspired design at Mackin Park starts with the exterior of the building.

“The French-inspired architecture of the building is a nod to its past while also artfully combining modern elements to create a building that would look just as at home in Montreal as it would in Paris,” says Kasahara.

The one-and two-bedroom low-rise apartments are spacious and inviting, with floorplans ranging between 548 and 1,013 square feet.

The high-end finishings include stainless-steel appliances and engineered stone countertops in the kitchens, complemented by a hand-set marble tile backsplash and chic squareline two-tone laminate cabinetry.

Kasahara says the homes will feature several space-saving innovations, including built-in mirrored cabinets in the bathrooms, and spice racks and pull-out pantry drawers in the kitchens.

Every home includes its own private patio or balcony, so you will always

210 - 5888 Dover Cres., Richmond • $578,000 Don Fennell file photo Richmond’s Glenn Gawdin, who last season captained the Seafair Bantam A’s, will play for Team BC under-16s in Tuesday’s exhibition versus his usual teammates, the Greater Vancouver Canadians of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League, at the Richmond Olympic Oval. The game, set to begin at 6:45 p.m., is a final tune up for next week’s Western Canada Challenge.

Gawdin gets high marks laughed Weber, who coached Gawdin with the Seafair Islanders Bantam rep team last season.

Selected fifth overall in the 2012 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft by the Swift Current Broncos, Gawdin is a six-foot-one, 170-pound centre that many believe has great upside.

“He uses his size well and shoots well, but I think the biggest strength is high knowledge of the game and his competitiveness,” said Weber. “His hockey IQ is off the chart for a kid his age, and when he buckles down he’s hard to stop.

I hope he can use those skills to his advantage (at the Challenge Cup).”

Bill is survived by wife, Nansi, best friend/constant companion of 69 years and his 3 children, Gary (Pat) of Vernon, BC, Gillian (Ed) Bell of Black Creek, BC, Keith (Pat) of Ladner, BC and his 11 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. Respecting his wishes, there will be no service, but a family gathering will follow to celebrate his life.

Bill was loved by all who had the privilege and honour of knowing a true gentleman in every respect. We will always love and miss our dear Bill.
