Mammoth menorah installed

Endangered sharks found in fin probe

Hanukkah symbol as tall as an extension ladder part of multi-faith exhibition at museum

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter It took five hours to properly position 5,000 pounds on a 50,000 pound base.

A 7.6-metre (25-feet) tall steel menorah now stands in the Richmond Cultural Centre plaza, welcoming visitors to Richmond Museum’s new exhibition, Highway to Heaven.

The late Arthur Erickson, a renowned Vancouver architect, designed the sculpture—a symbol of Hanukkah— and Ebco Industries built it 24 years ago. It was created as a donation for a synagogue that was never built, and has been in storage for most of its life.

“It looks spectacular in its white and the simplicity of Arthur Erickson’s design,” said Joe Da Silva, Ebco’s director of corporate communications.

Built of tubular steel, the menorah weighs 2,270 kilograms (5,000 pounds) and is secured in the plaza by steel base 10 times the sculpture’s weight.

Both were loaded onto trucks at Ebco’s Alderbridge Way site Monday at 10 p.m. in preparation for the move to Minoru Park. Crews finished the installation 3 a.m.

Tuesday, while finishing touches were still being performed Wednesday afternoon.

Da Silva said the sculpture has been briefly installed twice before in a No. 3 Road parking lot. The first symbolic lighting of the Jewish nine-branched lamp stand came in 1988, courtesy of then premier Bill Vander Zalm.

In 1991, premier Mike Harcourt handled the lighting honours.

On Saturday it will be lit once again during a free public reception for the exhibition’s opening, beginning at 6 p.m. Subsequent lightings will take place each day of Hanukkah, which begins Dec. 8 and ends Dec. 16.

Over 30 faith-based groups shared stories about their place of worship and history for Highway to Heaven.

Many groups are located on No. 5 Road, from which the exhibition gets its name.

Ebco, a longtime Richmond company co-founded by Helmut and Hugo Eppich, is co-sponsoring the exhibition, which also includes a steel 15-metre (50-foot) highway sculpture designed by Da Silva and made by Ebco.

The menorah is expected to be on display for a month, while the museum’s exhibition runs until July 2013.

An investigation of dried shark fins being sold in Richmond and Vancouver has found 76 per cent are from species that are threatened or endangered, according to activists.

“We knew that there was endangered species for sale, but we didn’t think the results would be nearly this bad. We were shocked,” said Marley Daviduk of the Vancouver Animal Defense League.

The league partnered with CTV News to test the DNA of 105 shark fins to identify shark species. Three-quarters of the samples were purchased in No. 3 Road area shops earlier this year.

Shark fin soup—the primary use of fins—was not tested because dry samples were needed for DNA testing, said Daviduk.

A lab at the University of Guelph was able to secure DNA in 59 of the samples, of which 45 are listed as endangered or vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Eight fins came from endangered hammerhead sharks.

Results would likely be the same nationwide, Daviduk noted, as the same distributors sell to stores and restaurants across Canada.

Although scientists consider many species of sharks endangered or threatened, they are legal to sell in Canada.

Expanded recycling program a big deal for local residents Large item pick-up, townhouse composting to be added next June

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Composting and tossing out the trash stand to become more convenient next June, when the city enhances its green cart recycling program and introduces by-appointment large item pick-ups.

Residents will be invited next month to decide on which size recycling container they’d like for their houses and townhomes.

House owners have the option of the standard size—which will go to those who don’t express a preference—or both larger and smaller variants, while residents of townhomes can opt for a larger version than the standard 46.5 litre can with

“By supporting residents now with enhancements to our food scraps program, we’ll be in better position to comply with the regional disposal ban of food scraps when it takes effect in 2015,” Brodie said Thursday afternoon.

big

“Richmond was one of the first cities to introduce food scraps recycling collection service with its Green Can program, and the city is building on its early success by expanding the program, including our new large item pick up service.”

Starting this June, residents will be able to make arrangements to have a maximum of four large items picked up each year, including such things a indoor or outdoor furniture, appliances, small household goods, weight training equipment, lawnmowers and mattresses.

Asked if the city plans to continue weekly trash pick-ups, rather than moving to collections every other week as a cost-saving measure, Brodie said that wouldn’t amount to a significant cost-saving and isn’t currently in the plans. But collections of yard trimmings and food waste needs to be done on a weekly basis, he said.

Richmond inventor gets offer on Dragon’s Den Episode of popular CBC TV show offers potential of $250,000 payday

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

Marco Longley makes his pitch on Dragon’s Den.

Described by Arlene Dickinson as a simple and very smart idea, a tool invented by a Richmond man won the favour of the Dragons’ Den star in an episode that aired Wednesday.

Appearing on the CBC TV series, Marco Longley asked the panel of Canadian business moguls for $25,000 in exchange for a 10 per cent stake in his invention—a secondary handle for long shaft tools—that has yet to get to market.

Longley invented the ergonomic back-saving device after suffering severe injuries as as cyclist after being run over by a drunk driver. Six operations later, he is still unable to work, he told the dragons.

“I want to contribute to my family. I haven’t done that for a long long time.”

Dickinson was moved by Longley’s pitch on the show.

“You could easily be the person that says, Whoa is me,’” she said. “Instead you’ve turned that into ‘I want to do what’s right for my family.’ I think that’s really admirable.”

Dickinson came up with the best offer: $250,000 to buy the HEFT patent, plus a five per cent royalty stream once she has recouped her initial investment.

“Arlene (Dickinson)’s investment offer is still pending and we are continuing to work with her team in hopes of completing the Dragons’ Den deal, while remaining open to other opportunities,” Longley told The Richmond Review.

From Page 1 Only three sharks— listed by the Convention on International Trade on Endangered Species— are restricted here, none of which were found in the investigation. Daviduk contends more sharks aren’t protected because countries profiting off the trade are blocking efforts.

“Just because they’re not protected doesn’t mean they’re not endangered,” she said.

The investigation comes at a time when cities across Canada are mulling or enacting shark fin bans. In Richmond, city hall is studying the issue.

Last week an Ontario court threw out a Toronto bylaw that banned the sale, possession and consumption of shark fins and shark-fin food products. Daviduk believes Toronto can win an appeal by removing the bylaw’s restriction on consumption. Meanwhile, she expects the DNA results will serve as a “game-changer” across Canada.

“The results are so shocking—so bad. We need to do absolutely everything possible, and very quickly,” she said.

“Ideally it’ll be a federal ban, but if the federal government fails and the provincial government fails, we have to do something on the municipal level.”

New stamping grounds for world’s largest mailbox

Richmond woman pleads guilty to Stanley Cup rioting A 25-year-old Richmond woman has pled guilty to one count of participating in a riot and will be sentenced next year.

Kathleen (Katie) Marie Elyse Brownell appeared in Vancouver provincial court on Wednesday where she entered the plea, despite professing her innocence to The Richmond Review earlier this

year. The former Matthew McNair student had also been charged with breaking and entering, and mischief in connection with the June 15, 2011 riot that broke out following Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins.

Brownell is scheduled to be sentenced on May 8, 2013.

Brownell told The Richmond Review earlier this year that she was downtown alone on the night of the riot and was hit over the back of the head with a club by a police officer. She said she told the officer she was just trying to go home. The next morning, she awoke with a giant lump on her head. She said she hadn’t been drinking that night.

The City of Richmond is looking for organizations to volunteer with the Snow Angels program. Snow Angels are organizations willing to provide voluntary snow removal services to residents in need during major snow events.

Black Press The province has granted a one-year reprieve from its directive that health workers wear a mask this flu season if they refuse to be vaccinated.

Those who don’t comply won’t be disciplined, deputy health minister Graham Whitmarsh said in a Nov. 30 letter to health authorities.

Enforcement that was to begin Dec. 1 is on hold while the ministry carries out more consultation with unions and other affected staff to help determine how best to fully implement the flu control policy, he said.

Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall gave the needle-ormask order this summer, citing an inadequate flu immunization rate of less than 50 per cent among B.C. health care workers despite free shots and much encouragement.

But unions denounced the policy as a privacy violation, saying the

threat of discipline to compel unvaccinated workers to wear masks would have forced them to disclose their decision not to get a flu shot.

Those who did get vaccinated were expected to wear badges or pins to assure patients they were immunized.

Health Sciences Association of B.C. president Reid Johnson said the union encourages its members to be vaccinated but defends their right to choose.

“If they choose not to be vaccinated for any number of factors – including experiences with bad side effects to vaccines and funda-

mental, philosophical, or religious objections to vaccination – that is their right,” he said.

Rather than enforcing a season-long order to mask up, he said, that step can be taken during an actual flu outrbreak, along with other long-standing options such as relocating staff or having them stay home.

Despite the controversy, more health workers did roll up their sleeves for the needle this fall.

According to Kendall’s office, more than 60 per cent of full-time health workers are now vaccinated.

A ministry spokesperson called the decision not to enforce in the transitional year a “balanced and measured approach.”

The rule was to apply to hospitals, long-term care homes and other publicly funded health facilities and included health authority staff, doctors, volunteers, students, contractors and vendors who work in patient contact areas.

The ministry will continue to encourage workers to get vaccinated to reduce the risk of flu transmission to vulnerable patients and seniors

EDITORIAL: A costly crossing?

T

he smile on the face of the Premier illuminated the early morning gloom as the new Port Mann bridge was officially opened to eight lanes on Saturday.

It’s hard to say how long the honeymoon will last.

Especially when commuters and truckers start to see the effect the full cost of tolls will have on their wallets every month.

Sensing the backlash that financial hit could spawn, crossing the bridge will be free for the first week, half price until Feb. 28 for drivers who haven’t registered for a special windshield sticker and until next November for those who have. Like a drug pusher trying to establish a marketplace, the government is hoping if they get drivers hooked on the new bridge, they’ll pay whatever it takes to keep moving and won’t blink when they start getting dinged three bucks a crossing.

But they may be underestimating the determination of Greater Vancouver motorists to drive for a bargain.

Already burdened by the highest cost of living in

Canada, extracting another $1,500 a year out of the household accounts of regular users of the Port Mann will be one debit too much. Not to mention the increases in the cost of food and consumer goods

that are transported by trucks over the bridge.

Three years ago the tolled Golden Ears Bridge that links Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to Highway 1 via Langley was opened with similar fanfare. Yet every

morning drivers heading west from those communities line up bumper-tobumper on the Lougheed Highway to cross the free Pitt River bridge as the six lanes of the Golden Ears sit largely empty.

While tolls help pay for the infrastructure we so desperately need to keep up with Greater Vancouver’s booming population, those tolls need to be kept affordable for all.

een the latest video of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford that’s gone viral?

It features a press event before the Grey Cup in which Ford and some staff play a little football. He hikes the ball, goes back a few steps to make a pass, loses his balance and tumbles to the turf.

Fat man falls. Ha ha.

Because he’s offended so many people during his time in office, the hu-

mour—one assumes—is all the more rich. Regardless, the video spread around the world.

Just before the U.S. election, late night TV funnyman Jimmy Kimmel’s crew hit the streets to ask people what they thought of the second presidential debate. The twist: the debate hadn’t actually happened yet.

That didn’t stop people from commenting. People on camera said things like Obama came off better, and oh yes, the town-hall style event was much more intimate than the previous one and so on.

Funny. And yes, insightful about human behaviour.

Yet it seems humour — from the things we share on social media to the reality shows we watch — is increasingly being characterized by the concept of mockery.

Today we spend a lot of time laughing at people, and often, ridiculing them.

Their foibles, their pettiness, their slip-ups.

And what’s wrong with that, one might ask?

I’m not sure. But somewhere in there, it feels off, somehow.

It’s no revelation that we live in an age in which the lens is turned on ourselves and the world around us.

We like it real. Reality TV, making videos for YouTube in your bedroom, uploading footage of the riot we stumble across in Greece— real life is exciting.

And as America’s Funniest Home Videos established years ago, we can be hilarious—particularly by accident.

It’s one thing, though, to laugh at ourselves. In fact, it’s healthy and humbling.

After all, “self-deprecating” is probably one of the more flattering things you can say about a person’s character.

But what about when we turn it around?

When we’re laughing at others? And what if they’re not laughing? It’s one thing when we laugh at a comedian on stage, seeking to tickle our funny bone, but what if it’s just real folks going about life?

When Franklin D. Roos-

evelt was U.S. president in the ’30s and early ’40s, the media never showed him in a wheelchair, or being carried, helping to hide the fact he was paralyzed.

Perhaps it was media collusion out of respect for office at a time when disabilities were seen differently. And it’s good today that we’ve broken many of those taboos, and acknowledge that frailty exists — even among those in highest office.

But compare the Roosevelt situation to that in the Ford video. When we watch Ford tumble to the turf, what do we think? Fat idiot? Offensive words, but how far off the mark? When we giggle at the people on the street discussing an imaginary presidential debate don’t we, at very least, think them foolish?

So what, one might say.

No harm done.

But what if this trend is undermining our respect for others? What if it feeds this culture of mean people are talking about, a culture of mockery that

empowers the bullies, feeds concepts of ‘us and them,’ lowers the tenor of public discourse and sends a message that it’s OK to celebrate when a person is hurt, and to laugh when they are embarrassed or humiliated?

How is it different if an unpopular 10-year-old girl stumbles as she walks across the school stage, and the assembled students laugh, then schoolmates continue to badger her for weeks to come?

But it is different, isn’t it?

Rob Ford is a politician.

He’s put himself on that platform. He’s exposed himself.

And those people on the streets of L.A., they should have been honest and admitted they didn’t know there was a debate.

And in those cases we’re talking about people in different cities, different situations. Not people in our local community.

It’s different. Right?

Snow goose is not the problem, it’s the roof crane Editor: The open fields and playgrounds are suffering a negative impact from the annual migration of the snow goose again this year. Our downtown core is also suffering from the nesting habits of another troublesome creature: the roof crane (condo erectus).

Once, very rarely seen in these parts, these tall transient cranes have now become a common sight. A work site. A place where these cranes build tall vertical nests that some consider a blight on our horizon.

The nest of the roof crane can be found on what was once a grassy field, or, on the site of a not-so-old demolished building.

In past years it has always built its nest near the downtown core.

And, where one builds a nest another one is sure to shoot up nearby, all staying in a tight group. But, tall nests have been seen in areas never occupied by the crane before, until now. The north end of No. 2 Road is now

The nest of the roof crane can be found on what was once a grassy field, or, on the site of a not-so-old demolished building.

a common site for he roof crane where many nests now stand.

Possibly due to global warming, but then what isn't these days.

For the roof crane the weeks leading up to Christmas are its mating season. Many (I believe to be males) light up like Christmas trees, trying to attract a mate. Judging by their numbers, they seem to be successful.

At night, dogs are used to bother the crane while it tries to rest. I’ve seen men on different nesting sites going around with

Wishing you the

dogs all night long, never giving a guy a chance to grab anything, I mean, annoying the crane making sure it knows it is not welcome.

It takes about a year for the roof crane to realize its not welcome and complete it’s nest.

Then upon completion, the roof crane moves on to another site.

Like the soap in the men’s washroom, it’s not used by the crane.

People however, have found these tall concrete structures suitable for habitation. Why they flock to them, buying them up long before the crane is even finished!

I’ve lived in Richmond since 1964 and have seen what effect the roof crane has had on Richmond. The dyke at the north end of No. 2 Road was my playground. An area now lost to my youth.

Worry about the roof crane. It’s the one that's most destructive on the open fields.

Christmas and political correctness Editor: It is December already and of course Christmas is just around the corner. It is the season to celebrate.

Christmas is a universal celebration. Unfortunately, during the past few years, the political correctness has dampened this celebration somewhat. We celebrate other festivals like Diwali, Chinese New Year, Eid, Nav Roz, Rosh Hashanah and Vaisakhi etc. with a great deal of enthusiasm regardless of our faith, culture and background.

We wish each other Happy Diwali, Happy Eid, Happy Chinese New

Year and so on. However, when it comes to Christmas it is Happy Holidays.

Why not Merry Christmas as has been the custom for a long time? At Christmas time, my family and I put up the Christmas tree, buy gifts for our children and grandchildren, light up our front yard with a great deal of enthusiasm.

Also, it gives me a great deal of pleasure to wish others—Christians and non-Christians—a Merry Christmas.

Canada is an excellent model of multiculturalism. It is home to more than 200 communities representing every corner

of the world. Canada is also a multilingual country with more than 200 languages being spoken from coast to coast to coast. Both of these attributes are Canada’s greatest strengths. Let’s remember that both multiculturalism and multilingualism flourish in an inclusive, not an exclusive, environment. As such, we must retain the importance of Christmas to the broader community.

Celebrations like these act like a glue that binds us all together as Canadians.

Merry Christmas!

Keep footwear away from pool Editor: I wrote to city council suggesting that Minoru pool users should not place their footwear by the poolside where the water overflowing could carry dirt back into the pool. Also, permitted foot gear should only be donned by the poolside.

The council replied that except for street footwear, it makes no difference whether someone walks barefoot or in a change of footwear to the pool. I am not convinced. Can the council provide expert advice on the subject and support its argument with lab test results?

There is no telling if users are wearing the same footwear both inside and

Untitled-2 1

outside the arena area. I have also seen users, wearing swim footwear, walking about the locker room and using the toilet facilities and then jump into the pool.

Why wait till a bad contamination case to erupt before taking any action?

I have used pools elsewhere which strictly enforce the rule of no footwear (of any kind) by the poolside. They wisely believe more in prevention than the cure. Otherwise we might as well say there is no such rule when you go swim in the sea.

Weight-loss products from Cube Inc. may pose serious health risks Three unauthorized weight loss products have been seized from Richmond’s Cube Inc. inside Aberdeen Centre because of undisclosed ingredients that may pose serious health risks, Health Canada advised Friday.

Consumers of Goya Bittermelon, S-organic Cocoa+Lcarnitine, and KaBaNa L-Carnitine 360 Slimming Coffee, have been advised to consult their health practitioner, and should report any adverse reactions to Health Canada (toll free at 1-866-234-2345).

Two hidden drug ingredients—sibutramine and phenolphthalein—along with caffeine, which was not listed on the product label, prompted the seizure.

Sibutramine is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular side-effects such as heart attack and stroke. Phenolphthalein may cause cancer, and is linked to side effects such as decreased blood pressure, skin rash and gastrointestinal bleeding.

A photograph by Richmond’s Raymond Ong placed in the top 10 out of 550 entries in BC Hydro’s fourth annual Team Power Smart photo contest.

This year’s theme was wasteful behaviour and judges looked at how entries captured wastefulness. Ong’s photograph, titled “A little light reading,” shows a little boy reading a book surrounded by 10 different lighting fixtures. To save energy, BC Hydro recommends turning off unnecessary lights.

BC Hydro runs the Team Power Smart photo contest in partnership with London Drugs and Royal BC Museum each year for Power Smart Month in October.

The judging panel reviewed 550 entries. Submissions were judged on originality, relevance to the theme, composition, lighting and technical qualities.

The top ten finalists receive $100 London Drugs photo lab gift cards. Their photos will be displayed in Victoria’s Royal BC Museum from Nov. 30, 2012 to Jan. 27, 2013.

The grand prize winner was John Kelsey of Comox. He will receive a Nikon D700 SLR camera package from London Drugs. His photo will be featured in newspaper advertisements in his community, on the Lower Mainland and in Victoria.

By shopping locally, consumers help local merchants.

Steveston businesses create jobs for local residents. They also pay local taxes. Also, Steveston businesses put a lot back into the community, whether it’s supporting charity, sponsoring sports teams or taking part in green initiatives, such as the Great Canadian Shore Clean-up.

Here’s just a few ideas for shopping locally: •Service gift certificates: hair, esthetics, massage, housecleaning, snow clearing, lawn mowing. Some of these services do home care too.

•Memberships: fitness, museum, theatre, golf, club dues, seniors centre.

•Gift certificates for recreational programs – yoga, badminton, family skate passes.

•Restaurants –a gift certificate for breakfast or lattés to keep warm during the winter? For the young family, how about a gift certificate to baby sit while the parents enjoy a night out at a local restaurant. Some local eateries offer dinner and a show.

t’s artificially bushy in early publicity photos, but David Adams had just a few facialhair-growing weeks to look

the part of Fiddler on the Roof’s Tevye.

This week the seasoned actor sported five-week-old growth—performance-enhancing hair no longer required. The beard of Tevye is iconic in the beloved musical, and considering the acting greats who’ve played the role since its 1964 Broadway debut, Adams knows expectations for him go beyond the beard.

Adams has been diligently researching, reading and rehearsing his way to becoming the man at the heart of the classic story.

HOW CAN MY BITE CAUSE HEADACHES?

Christmas goes satire with Hotel Bethlehem

Frequent headaches (more than once a month) can often be associated with simple minor bite imbalances. Often the sufferer is unaware of any bite problems. Believe it or not, our teeth are not supposed to touch each other except perhaps when swallowing (try it). When eating the upper and lower teeth almost touch but not quite. However, if there is some crowding or misalignment of teeth, missing teeth, or other factors changing the fit of the bite some instability results. The jaw and neck muscles may become more active in keeping the jaw mechanics in balance. This can all increase occurrences of headaches. Studies have shown dental orthotic appliances can help reestablish better bites and decrease frequency and intensity of headaches including migraines.

Sanders plays the blind census-taker Addius Miopicus in Hotel Bethlehem, a Ruby Slippers Theatre show on stage Dec. 18 to 23 at Firehall Arts Centre in Vancouver.

The play, written

by Drew McCreadie, takes a satirical look at the Biblical story of Christmas, examining why the inn was full and what cad turned away a very pregnant woman.

Audiences will see shepherds contemplating sheep lotteries, Three Kings evading taxes, ridiculous Roman soldiers and Sanders’ blind censustaker character. And there’s Mary, the virgin about to give birth.

Fiddler on the roof features a cast of 30 From Page 16 “The character of Tevye, he’s quite an iconic figure because the movie musical, which came out in ‘71, was so popular and continues to be,” said Adams in an interview this week. “He is a human being—an ordinary poor dairyman—but he embodies these large epic arguments that occur in the piece.”

The opening of Fiddler on the Roof next week at Gateway Theatre will mark the 29th year the Minoru Park institution has produced a family-friendly musical in December.

The first run of the show—whose famous songs include “If I were a Rich Man,” “Tradition” and “Sunrise Sunset”— lasted 18 years. It set a record as the longestrunning Broadway show ever with 3,242 performances. (Grease later surpassed it.)

It’s set in a small Russian village in 1905.

Tevye must decide whether to allow his daughters to marry for love or follow a more practical custom of matchmaking. It’s not the only challenge the family is facing. Rising anti-Semitism leads to a call for mass eviction of Jews in the village—including Tevye’s family.

Adams, who last appeared in the Toronto remount of Electric Company Production’s Tear the Curtain!, has had a long career in the performing arts, much of it built on his skills as a musical theatre performer. As an actor in musicals such as Show Boat and Sunset Boulevard in the mid-’90s at what was the Ford Centre for Performing Arts, he’s been a witness to a growing interest in the art form.

“It’s been really great to see…how the musical has become quite a staple of entertainment,” he said. “There’s a real hunger for it.”

As Tevye, Adams has had to transform himself into a dairyman.

“As an actor, I’m still convinced that while you don’t have to have been the role that you’re playing, you have to have something that you can identify with.”

That something isn’t

Fiddler on the Roof •Gateway Theatre MainStage, Dec. 12 to 31 (Dec. 14 opening night) •Book by Joseph Stein, music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick •David Adams stars, Christopher McGregor directs •Tickets, $30 to $48, at gatewaytheatre. com or 604-2701812 his ability to milk a cow, but he has done hard labour, and there’s a familiarity to the role in family.

“Most of Tevye’s angst comes from his family, his daughters especially. I have two daughters, so for me it’s very easy to latch into the emotional life of the character.”

As one of the most popular musicals of all time, Fiddler on the Roof can still claim popularity today—albeit few professional productions are mounted given the large cast requirements. Gateway, as it does each December, has accomplished the feat by placing professionals in the lead roles and adding community actors to fill the other spots. The result is a cast of 30 and a live 10-piece orchestra.

Adams sees the play particularly relevant today in the immigrant society of Canada, where parents and children clash over old ways and traditions.

“I think Tevye could easily be a Sikh father, a Chinese father or a Korean father, struggling with the fact that his children who are influenced by Western society are forsaking the age-old traditions.”

And although Tevye isn’t a role Adams has played before, he has seen quiet a few Fiddler productions, and, of course, the film. One of the challenges in preparing for the role, he said, is leaving all that behind.

“You’ve got to forget about what you’ve seen.

You can’t really do it like those guys have done it, you’ve got to bring your own thing to it.”

Do you want to practise forestry in BC? New forestry designation available now

Martin van den Hemel photo Irene Richards and Elly English, who joined Brighouse Preschool nearly two decades ago, are celebrating the school’s 60th anniversary of serving local parents and their children.

Brighouse preschool has been serving city for 60 years Originally a kindergarten in 1952, Brighouse preschool started by group of women in response to community need

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

I

f you’ve never been to Brighouse Nursery Preschool on Bennett Road, and you grew up in Richmond, the visit might have you reminiscing.

The preschool is out of view from the street, tucked in behind Brighouse United Church just east of the first McDonald’s restaurant in Canada, and remains true to its original values

established 60 years ago of keeping childcare costs low for area families.

Look out the preschool’s windows at the playground, and you’ll see a well-loved jungle gym made in the style commonplace in the ’60s and ‘70s; long, sturdy straight logs with holes drilled in them, a type now replaced by plasticized versions at most schools (Brighouse also has two modern plastic playground structures).

Opened in the autumn of 1952 by a group of women mostly from the Brighouse congregation, Brighouse was originally a kindergarten intended to meet a perceived community need for what Rev. Stuart Appenheimer called a “part-time, home spun version of kindergarten.” It wasn’t until 1972 that provincial legislation brought in kindergartens across the province.

The kindergarten was located

in the church hall, and Louise Hendron was the first head teacher.

Today Brighouse is wellequipped, fully-accredited and licensed, and staffed by early childhood education teachers, including head teacher Elly English and Irene Richards.

“We love our work and we love our coworkers,” said English, who joined the school at the same time as Richards back in 1994.

While the demand for childcare in Richmond remains strong, evidenced by the many preschools and daycares that have opened in the two decades, at Brighouse their enrolment has declined over the past 10 years.

It’s a phenomenon that English says other preschools are experiencing as well, and she believes many Chinese families are returning to China with their children, resulting in a dip in demand.

Real estate sales down from last year Property sales were down more than 28 per cent in November from a year earlier, according to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver.

The region’s composite residential benchmark price has declined 4.5 per cent to $596,900 since peaking in May at $625,100. The benchmark is down 1.7 per cent from a year ago.

Board president Eugen Klein said sellers seem more inclined to take their home off the market than cut the price, while buyers still expect

lower prices to come.

In the Fraser Valley, which includes Surrey, White Rock and North Delta, year-over-year sales were down 19 per cent. Both regions also saw significantly lower sales from October.

The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board said its composite residential benchmark price is down one per cent in the last six months.

Detached houses there were still up two per cent from a year ago to $544,700.

Surgery, lab tests to be delayed by strike

by Tom Fletcher Black Press Hospital pharmacists and medical imaging technicians plan to go ahead with brief strikes Friday as a mediator attempts to reach a settlement with 16,000 health science employees at hospitals and clinics across B.C. Veteran mediator Vince Ready was brought in Tuesday after negotiations that started in February failed to produce an agreement.

The Health Employers Association of B.C. issued a statement Wednesday warning that the unions intend to go ahead with its first rotating strikes despite the mediation effort.

Michael Marchbank, chief executive officer of the employers’ association, said hospitals have no choice but to begin postponing non-emergency procedures, including surgery and diagnos-

tic tests.

“Employers are very concerned about the patient care impact that will result from this action,” Marchbank said.

Hospital pharmacists performed essential services only from 9 a.m. to midnight Thursday.

A 24-hour essential-serviceonly strike by medical imaging technologists, who perform xrays, CT and MRI scans, nuclear medicine tests and other imaging procedures, is expected today.

The Health Science Professionals Bargaining Association, representing a group of unions, says there will be no picket lines.

Surrey Memorial Hospital, recovering from a broken water main that forced closure of the emergency ward and damaged scanning equipment, will be exempted from strike action.

Reid Johnson, president of the largest union, the Health

Sciences Association, said the B.C. government’s “co-operative gains” bargaining mandate has not produced an employer wage offer, and the presence of a mediator alone isn’t enough to suspend strike action.

“We tabled a proposal for four per cent [wage increase] over two years, with no benefit concessions,” Johnson said.

“And that’s in line with the other public sector agreements that have been reached over the last few months under the government’s co-operative gains mandate.”

He said nuclear medicine and other technical specialties are among the highest-skilled positions other than physicians, and there are chronic shortages of qualified staff.

B.C. needs to pay competitive wages and also train more technicians at home rather than recruiting from other countries, Johnson said.

Brighouse celebrates six decades From Page 23 It could also be the result of increased competition, or perhaps that more two-income families are seeking out day-long childcare alternatives, rather than the two hours and 15 minutes of morning or afternoon instruction at Brighouse.

Even stay-at-home moms, English said, view preschools as important ways to socialize their children, and help them learn language skills.

English said she loves her work, as does Richards, and that’s why they’ve remained at Brighouse for so long.

It’s a traditional style of instruction, where they teach

the ABCs, counting, encourage free writing, the arts and crafts, along with language skills through singing and repetition.

Rev. Appenheimer says the school keeps its costs low with the support of volunteer labour and its non-profit status.

Brighouse Nursery Preschool is located at 8151 Bennett Rd., just east of No. 3 Road. For more information, call 604-272-2480 or visit brighouseunitedchurch. org and click on preschool in the left hand column.

Brighouse United Church also operates a daycare, that offers full-day child care.

Healing at the B & B

Book Club

Shelley Civkin Gentle, harmless, heartwarming and uplifting. All words that describe Debbie Macomber’s new novel, The Inn at Rose Harbor.

The start of a new series, this novel is set in the little town of Cedar Cove in the Pacific Northwest. Jo Marie Rose, recently widowed, decides that she needs a fresh start after losing her husband Paul to the war in Afghanistan.

So she opens a bed and breakfast, with little more than a gift for cooking and entertaining guests.

Soon enough, the locals offer her their good advice and friendship and a

new chapter in Jo Marie’s life begins.

Typical of Macomber’s writing, this novel is sweet and clean and not unlike the writing of Jan Karon, Susan Wiggs and Richard Paul Evans. The characters are mostly good Christians who try to do the right thing in life, despite the challenges and obstacles they face.

Exhibit A is Josh Weaver who comes to stay at Jo Marie’s bed and breakfast.

He dreads this return to his hometown to see his dying stepfather Richard, a man who tormented and verbally abused him his whole life. But it’s the right thing to do, so he comes back to Cedar Cove expecting the worst. Life has a funny way though, of injecting some good into every bad situation, and that good comes in the form of Michelle, his old nextdoor neighbor. Josh gets a huge surprise when he sees her and well… let’s just say that I foresee love blooming in the next book in this series.

Abby, another of Jo Marie’s B&B guests, has come back to Cedar Cove

for her brother’s wedding.

A horrible accident from her high school days has kept her away for many years, and she’s scared to face her old friends. But a nice surprise is in store for her too.

Basically, the story is about coming to terms with the past and opening ourselves up to the future. Every character in the book has either a troubled or sorrowful past and/or fractious relationships that they’re trying to deal with. Personal loss, emotional burdens and eventual healing are Debbie Macomber’s stock in trade, and she weaves a lovely story while she’s at it. She writes: “The heart heals at its own pace” and her writing mirrors this perfectly, building relationships slowly and carefully so that they can stand the test of time.

It can be a test drive for the wannabe runner to become inspired to do a 5k. So let the app do the coaching while you put one foot in front of the other and discover a fun mobile device that helps keep runners performing at their optimum fitness level.

There are a variety of apps for runners that can time, pace, record distance and map your runs.

It’s an easy way to keep track of calorie intake, record your workouts

you can download the app of your choice.

With not enough time in the day for many working adults to join a clinic or running club, you may now put your trust into a no nonsense, hand held coach because this ‘new kid in town’ is really all about the future of recreational fitness.

During a recent phone interview with Susie Bakajic, an experienced techie and multi-sport athlete currently training for a 5k, she has uploaded onto her iphone the app titled, from Couch to 5k.

and help you train for a 5k distance. The app can do everything from getting you started to showing you how to run a marathon.

The world keeps turning, yet it seems there is so much more to look forward to, technologically speaking. Times have changed and so runners are not only getting faster, training smarter but becoming more technosavvy with the runner app. There are many apps for training, cross training and nutrition. If you own an android or an iphone

y u B d o o G say 12 to 20

It’s an app for runners who like variety in their workouts, such as interval training.

“Sometimes you might be intimated by joining a clinic or a club and having an app like this one is a great pre-introduction to running before joining a clinic,” Bakajic, a 30-yearold Burnaby resident, said. Bakajic makes time for sports like soccer, basketball and golf – she actually won her ‘Ben Hogan’ driver in a long drive contest. You get the picture. She thought running would help improve her health and quips, “With my physical job at Canada Post running can help me stay healthy.”

With the many choices of apps to choose from she suggested just google search and you will find lots of apps.

Bakajic says, “With my app the first four stages are free then after that there is a charge to continue with the program. It is a great app - there are intervals of one minute of running and walking.

I also have my ear buds and there is the coach’s voice talking to you while listen to music.” At this stage, Bakajic is in her third week-second day of the program.

She trains three times per week on a program which lasts eight weeks.

Bakajic notes her app will cost $2.99 after the fourth week. “You can (barely) buy coffee with that price,” she laughs.

There is audio which prompts users through the workouts and offers encouragement throughout. There are three programs with this app – Couch to 5k, Couch to 10k and Couch to half marathon.

The app will become more popular because of the time factor, the economy and it is fun.

It is just you and your app. A helpful tool to get you starting running and what will be next?

Here is another iphone app to consider, Runkeeper Pro, is a popular running app. There is GPS tracking, distance, monitors speed, counts calories, records activity history for any number of activities you partake in including sports such as running, cycling, hiking, skiing and swimming.

hoops tip-off Sports Editor Don Fennell’s annual preview of Richmond high school basketball / Part 2 - Senior Girls teams

Sharks sets sights on B.C. berth Steveston-London For the first time in school history, Steveston-London is ranked in the provincial AAA high school senior girls basketball poll.

The Sharks are No. 12 in the pre-season ranking.

Longtime coach Les Hamaguchi said it’s a nice recognition, but cautions there is much that can change over the course of the season. However, the season-ending rankings do help determine zone and provincial seedings, he noted.

“I think we’re in the mix and we’re going to be competitive,” said Hamaguchi, who expects the Sharks to contend for a berth in the AAA Lower Mainland playdowns and hopefully the provincial championship.

Realistically it’s long shot that the Sharks will contend for either title, but should again challenge for Richmond league honours which they claimed last season. But even finishing first in Richmond isn’t a given, said Hamaguchi, whose strategy is for the Sharks to be playing their best basketball when it counts most—at season’s end.

“We won our first Richmond title last year but it was a difficult game (42-39 over the McMath Wildcats in the playoff final),” he said. “Everything gets ramped up at the end and I don’t expect that to change regardless of where we finish in the standings.”

As always, the Sharks’ offence will centre around Anmol Mattu. The Grade 12 point guard is a rare talent, who grew up around the game and has been the player who has stirred the drink since she

first played for the senior squad in Grade 8. Though only five-foot-four, she has grown into one of the province’s elite players and sports a rare combination of skill, leadership and maturity. Once again the offence will be built around her.

“Obviously when Anmol first started playing for us in Grade 8 she was a bit tentative but has always been mature and has progressed as a leader,” said Hamaguchi. “Everything she could control—unfortunately height is not one of them—she’s improved upon. That said, I don’t look at (her height) as a disadvantage and I don’t think she does either.

Some of the things she can do is because of her height and athleticism.

“You’d be crazy not to utilize those talents, but every coach draws up an offence based on their group of players,” he continued. “While we don’t have as much depth as previous years, we’ve got a solid group of kids.”

The Sharks’ starting five is particularly good. Led

by Mattu, it also features guard/forward Alyssa Graeme, guard Aliya Prasad (a Grade 10 student), and forwards Alyssa Critchley and Shayla Kaplen. Hamaguchi hopes their experience and athleticism will provide the potential for more balanced scoring. An overall lack of height will mean most of their points with again come from the perimeter, though they’ll need to develop a better presence in the paint if they’re to realize their potential. They’ll try to do that by being quicker and hopefully smarter than the

Coach Gaby Narciso has plenty of reason to be optimistic about the Marlins’ chances of topping the league this season.

After all, the team has six returning players, including starters Kimmy Yuen—who is a true three-point shooter whose quickness also makes her a valued defender—and Pia Lore, a natural scorer. Point guards Gail Boquiren and Andrea Lynn both see the floor well and are proficient passers,

Coach Arjun Khurana is bullish on the STARTING mix of talents the starting five bring to the floor.

“We have a good combination of ball handling, shooting, •Mikaella Gloria defence and a little •Gabrielle Gloria bit of height,” he said.

•Tiffany Siu “And overall our team •Ann Dinner is quick to adapt to •Ranielle Casas new changes.”

Khurana is a big believer in the importance of practice and is constantly challenging the players to exceed their comfort levels.

“We are constantly finding ways to improve our game and adding something new to practices and we expect 110 per cent at practice (because) we see an unlimited amount of potential in this team,” he said.

McMath Wildcats McMath Wildcats narrowly missed out on winning the Richmond playoff title last season, and coach EJ Bugayong expects they’ll be hungry to reverse fortunes this season. He added the talented core of Grade 12s will be complemented by a skilled group of Grade 11s .

“We’ll focus on the fast break and hope that will help us realize our goal (of winning Richmond),” said Bugayong.

MacNeill Ravens MacNeill’s senior girls basketball team is primed for a bounce-back year this season after last year—a building one—ended with a disappointing loss in a tie-breaking game to qualify for the playoffs. “We understand basketball, just like life is a process.... you can’t succeed without failing first.” co-captain Denise De Jesus said.

To the team’s credit, the girls used missing the playoffs as motivation for improving with many committing their summer to practice and playing in the Mac Hoops summer league.

With eight returning players, including De Jesus who was a first team district all-star last season, coach Fred Chiang believes the optimism surrounding the team is well deserved.

Hugh Boyd Trojans The Hugh Boyd Trojans are very much still a work in progress, with coach Stuart Ruttan explaining that he and associate coaches Sean Berda and Alix Ruttan have yet to decide on their starting lineup.

But it’s not for a lack of talent. Quite the opposite, in fact.

“We are still processing our skill set and where there are some needs,” said Ruttan. “There are some Grade 11s making a very strong presence. The internal team competitiveness is really positive.”

The returning seniors are Mikee Hertez, Sarah Olson, Solome Dede, Rachel Ang and Cassie Goh while the Grade 11s—which last season as Grade 10s helped Hugh Boyd top the Richmond junior league with an 11-1 record—include Victoria Dengler, Jacqueline Yan, Emma Kallner, Callee Yuen and Jellica Nohay.

“They’re (such) strong athletes and they are intelligent. Both aspects are an asset,” said Stuart Ruttan, who expects the Trojans’ to be in title contention at season’s end.

The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is proud to introduce its new President and CEO, Bob de Wit. Replacing long-time president Peter Simpson, de Wit is ready to take on the challenge.

“I’m committed to listening to our members, home owners and government in seeking new ideas for creative and collaborative

De Wit already has a few plans now that he’s taken over the reins.

“Our focus at GVHBA going forward will be on expanding local government relations activity and encouraging greater intramembership trade,” he says.

Prior to starting at the GVHBA, de Wit was the CEO of an investment fund “that has invested in, among other things, technologies for improving energyefficiency in the built environment, which lead to my interest in the residential home building and renovation industry,” he says.

De Wit has lived in the Lower Mainland since 1986, when he attended Simon Fraser University for his business degree.

He now lives with his wife and daughter in South Surrey.

Ravens make case for best in the west Already B.C.’s top Peewee girls’ hockey team, Richmond Ravens edge No. 1 in Alberta at Sherwood Park classic

by Don Fennell Sports Editor The top Peewee girls’ hockey team in B.C. may also be No. 1 in the west.

They at least made a good case for that claim last weekend in Edmonton by winning the prestigious Sherwood Park “A” classic which featured the top six Alberta clubs and the best from Saskatchewan.

“I am so proud of our girls,” said Richmond Ravens’ coach Tony Lindsay, whose club wrapped up the gold medal with a final-game overtime victory over Red Deer—the No. 1 team in Alberta which entered the tournament undefeated.

In a rematch with a Chiefs’ team they earlier edged 3-2 to finish first in round-robin play, the Ravens jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead on a goal by Kirsten Abo. Naomi Choong extended the lead to 2-0 early in the third period of the intense game before Red Deer made a late comeback by scoring twice in the final 10 minutes of regulation to force overtime.

A five-minute period, played four-on-four, settled nothing, so it was on to a threeon-three player shootout.

After each team had shot twice, with Red Deer up 1-0, Choong scored and goalie Jenna Ehling then stopped the third Reed Deer shooter.

In dramatic fashion, Madison Warren then scored to put Richmond up 2-1 and when Ehling stopped the final Red Deer shooter the Ravens’ bench erupted in jubilation.

Lindsay prepared the Ravens for what he expected to be a challenging set of games.

“I wasn’t sure how we were going to compete and the level of play,” he said. “(For the most part) they were definitely bigger than our girls and the rural teams were more physical because they often play a lot of boys’ teams out of necessity. Their players had some very good individual skills and could shoot the puck hard, but their transition game wasn’t what our was and that was the difference. Their coaches noted that too, suggesting

they’d rarely seen a Pewee girls’ team move the puck as well as the Ravens.”

The Ravens’ skills positively reflect the Richmond girls’ ice hockey association’s emphasis on skill development.

sized them with this team, particularly making plays with the puck.

“I was surprised how (opponents) games were very north-south, while we do a lot of plays across the ice,” he said. “We like to go defenceman-to-defenceman and then move it up the ice. We were able to really spread the ice against their teams and enjoyed a number of two-on-ones and three-ontwo breaks.”

An aggressive forecheck is another successful trait of the Ravens. It garned many scoring opportunities as a result.

“We like to get teams back on their heels and them force them to react to us,” said Lindsay. “Our defence, which is outstanding, also did a great job of locking down the opposition at centre. Two compliments we got often was the structure of our play and good puck

movement.”

Richmond began the tournament with a 3-0 victory over the Edmonton Rebels and then outscored the Calgary Avengers 9-2. They coasted to a 6-0 quarterfinal win over the Grande Prairie Knights and defeated the Avengers, in a rematch, 7-3 in the semifinals.

The Ravens now sport an overall record of 26-1-1 and remain undefeated in league play.

Clarke invited to national team camp Following in the footsteps of older brother Caleb, who starred recently for Canada’s U20 men’s soccer team and is a top prospect of the Vancouver Whitecaps, Richmond’s Summer Clarke has been invited to the Canadian womens’s soccer team’s year-end training and assessment camp.

Head coach John Herdman will ovesee the 27--player squad for a nine-day camp Dec. 12 to 20 in Greater Vancouver.

“The camp will have our Olympians as well

as some new players looking to stake a claim to be part of our four-year plan towards the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015 and Rio 2016 Women’s Olympic Football Tournament,” said Herdman. “The camp will provide baseline testing as well as serve as an identification camp as we launch our new quadrennial cycle in 2013.”

Clarke, 17, led Canada to a silver medal at the CONCACAF U17 championship in Guatamala earlier this year.

Lum leads

way in OT Captain sets up game-winner as Richmond Midgets win Tournament of Heroes in Whitby, Ontario

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Winning big games in overtime seems to be a pattern for AJ Sander’s teams of late.

But the longtime coach of the Richmond Ravens Midget AA girls’ hockey team has no complaints.

He thinks it’s a reflection of his players’ character and resolve.

In two tournaments this season, the Ravens have won the championship game in the fourth period. And by identical 4-3 scores.

Richmond won the annual Kelowna Thanksgiving Ice Breaker over the Surrey Falcons in October,

and last weekend scored an even bigger triumph by edging the Waterloo Ravens in the final of the annual Whitby Wolves’ Tournament of Heroes.

It was a long trek to Ontario for the B.C. team, and Sander admitted he expected the Ravens to be considerable underdogs against a wave of strong Ontario-based clubs. But at least it would a good learning experience for the defending provincial champions from Richmond.

“It was the toughest tournament I’ve ever been in,” said Sander. “The teams were all really good with fast, skilled players.”

But instead of being

intimidated, it was the Ravens that turned the tables on their hosts by demonstrating a remarkable proficiency on the powerplay. It provided the difference in most of their games, which were all closely contested.

Richmond opened with a 2-2 tie against a team from Ottawa, with goaltender Maria Reynolds’ spectacular play in the

www.

first period a key reason for the Ravens’ single point. Richmond then outscored Durham 3-1 and Whitby 2-0 to qualify for the playoffs, during which they blanked Belleville 3-0 in the quarterfinals in a 9:30 p.m. game Saturday and then defeated Ottawa 3-1 (with an empty-net goal) in the semifinals in an earlymorning game Sunday.

Captain Leah Lum was a constant source of inspiration for the Ravens, and came up with timely offence—especially in the final against Waterloo.

With seconds to go on an overtime powerplay, Lum, who had the puck along the boards, was able to draw two defenders to her and then deftly pass the puck in front to an open Holly Gill to tap into

the net for the winning goal.

Sander noted that while the Ravens and the Ontario teams play a similar number of games, the Ontario clubs have significantly more practices.

And there are many more teams and players.

“In the last 35 days they’ve been on the ice an average of 32 times,” he said. “And there are 40,000

female players in Ontario.

At the Midget level there is a Junior A league for the elite players and then a AA league, which is equivalent to our Major Midget. On top of that, for the single-A teams, there’s the 48-team Lower Lakes league.”

The Ravens return to league play this week sporting a 3-1-1 record and 22-5-7 overall.

Two-year-old Kaitlyn Morovic (centre) and her brother Niko visited with TD Canada Trust staff at Coppersmith Plaza on Dec. 4 to help celebrate the $50-million milestone for funds raised by TD for children’s hospitals across Canada. In B.C., $9.2 million has been raised for B.C. Children’s Hospital to date, and the Morovic family from Richmond is grateful for TD’s support, as Kaitlyn has been treated at Children’ s Hospital since she was born.
