CUPE staff ‘very disappointed’

Accessible playground fundraisers Saturday

‘It’s a pretty slimy way of doing business,’ says president of union local

Two fundraisers are scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 14, with all proceeds going to an effort to build accessible playgrounds in Richmond.

Jason and Barb Davidson, owners of M&M Meat Shops at Francis and Gilbert roads, have offered to host a fundraising barbecue as part of their first anniversary celebrations from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The same day, Pet Food and More, at Garden City Shopping Centre, is hosting a dog wash by donation.

The fundraisers are in support of the efforts of Amanda Bostik, mother of three-year-old Gemma who was born with a neuromuscular disorder.

Amanda Bostik has been working with civic officials to build an accessible playground for children of all ages with mobility challenges.

Save-On-Foods and O’Hares GastroPub have already hosted fundraisers for the initiative.

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter It doesn’t appear that a four-per-cent wage hike over three years will be enough to avert job action, according to the latest press release from CUPE, which represents some 27,000 education workers in the Kindergarten through Grade 12 system.

On Monday, the union announced that after five days of bargaining, it came away “very disappointed” with the latest offer from the province.

June Kaiser, president of CUPE Local 716, which represents Richmond elementary and high school workers, said talks are set to resume next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

“If nothing changes from what you saw, then I’m pretty sure we’re looking at job action province wide.”

And that could take the form of a complete walkout, she said.

And if picket lines go up around schools, Kaiser said teachers have stated they would honour the picket lines.

Kaiser said there’s a legal requirement to give 72-hours strike notice to employers.

CUPE employees are looking for a four-per-cent wage hike over two years, with retroactive pay for the year they’ve been working without a contract.

She said the province’s offer falls far short, as it’s four-percent over four years, with two per cent coming during the second year, and another two per cent coming on the final day of the contract, meaning it’s not covered until the next contract.

“It’s a pretty slimy way of doing business,” Kaiser said.

Donna Sargent, chair of the Richmond board of education, said the district has not received anything official regarding the province’s offer.

“We do not have information regarding strike action and we hope we do not get there.”

On behalf of the board, Sargent wrote a letter last week to Education Minister Peter Fassbender, expressing concerns about earlier correspondence from the ministry.

“While we recognize a wage increase from CUPE employ-

Terry Fox Run returns to Steveston Sunday

“If nothing changes from what you saw, then I’m pretty sure we’re looking at job action province wide.”

– June Kaiser ees is warranted, we feel obligated to communicate strongly and clearly that sufficient funding for education is essential in order to maintain the high quality of education we offer for all of our students,” Sargent wrote.

“It is imperative that the government make the provision of adequate funding to cover all the costs associated with K to 12 public education a top priority. This includes providing districts with funds to support any negotiated wage increases.”

Sargent’s letter also expresses concerns about the reduced role of the B.C. Public School Employers Association, which negotiates on behalf of education boards with teachers.

Working together to outrun cancer.

It’s a simple enough motto, but one that accurately reflects the goal of the Terry Fox Run. Held annually and concurrently throughout the world each September, the run, which was first held in 1981, was inspired by Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope as of way of his continuing his dream to find a cure for cancer.

This year’s Terry Fox Run in Richmond will be this Sunday, Sept. 15 at Garry Point Park.

Registration by donation is between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m., with the five- and 10-kilometre walk/ run and one kilometer family trek beginning at 10 a.m. There will also be a silent auction from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

The Terry Fox Run is the largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research, with more than $500 million raised in honour of the athlete, humanitarian and cancer research activist who in 1980, with one leg, embarked on a cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research.

Martin van den Hemel photo CUPE 716 workers walk an information picket line outside the Richmond School District offices in June.

“The recent announcements reducing (the association) to an advisory role without consultation is alarming in its implications for the future of the co-governance model in our province,” Sargent wrote.

The government’s offer to education workers comprises a zero-per-cent wage hike in the first year, two per cent in the second, and two per cent on the last day of the contract, according to CUPE.

Man’s body found on boardwalk Richmond Mounties are investigating what they’ve described as the “sudden death” of a man on the boardwalk at River Road, at Cambie, just west of Aberdeen Centre.

Passersby found the body, which is that of a 32-year-old man, around 6:20 a.m.

“Police and the coroners officer continue to investigate to determine how the male died,” Richmond RCMP Cpl. Stephanie Ashton said.

‘Wrong time to throw a Hail Mary’

Black Press file photo An existing material recovery facility (MRF) run by Emterra in Surrey loads singlestreamed recyclables onto a conveyor belt for largely automated sorting.

From Page 1 Northwest argued its MRF’s machinery could retrieve much usable material that would otherwise go to landfills or be incinerated.

The idea appealed to Metro directors, who know recycling rates are dismal in apartment buildings and thought it may help get the region up to and over its goal of 70 per cent diversion.

But Northwest CEO Ralph McRae denounced the planned limits, calling them a “bureaucratic stranglehold” on his operation and accused Metro of conflictof-interest because it will soon build a new incinerator that could be starved of fuel if his recycling model succeeds.

Metro’s concession to his operation also drew fire from rival recycling firms that had previously supported a waste export ban.

Some feared losing their normal flow of separated recyclables if Northwest’s MRF ate up much of the market by offering a single-stream pickup service with no separation required.

They predicted low-quality contaminated recyclables will come out of the MRF, while its offer of

convenient single-bin disposal leads to less overall recycling.

“We can expect really discouraging rates of recovery,” said Louise Schwarz of the Recycling Alternative.

“This is exactly the wrong time to throw a Hail Mary on a technology that frankly has mixed results,” said Nicole Stefenelli, on behalf of nine recycling firms with the Recycle First Coalition.

She argued Metro didn’t have enough teeth to punish a MRF that disobeys the rules and lets unrecycled waste exit the region—it has no ticketing power, only the “nuclear” option of pulling a plant’s licence.

The bylaw would have forced all waste to go to inregion facilities, except some residue from approved MRFs, a loophole some said gave Northwest a backdoor to send trash to the Fraser Valley.

“We’ve managed to see 100 per cent of the people opposed to this bylaw for a number of different reasons,” said Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer before voting against it as too complex and unenforceable.

Mayor Brodie said one solution may be eliminating mixed-waste MRFs as an allowed option, adding that compromise greatly complicated the bylaw.

Safety violations net several local firms fines One fine linked to serious injury, others involve failing to ensure workers wore proper equipment Several Richmond firms were among the 47 who recently faced a total of 51 penalties imposed by WorkSafeBC. Released Friday, administrative penalties are published every two months.

Richmond Plywood Corporation Ltd./Richply was fined $15,000 last April in connection with an accident that caused serious injury.

A worker for the plywood firm was adjusting a valve on a saw when he was struck by parts of the saw and seriously injured.

A WorkSafe investigation found that the firm “failed to ensure that the saw was fitted with adequate safeguards to protect workers from contact with its hazardous power transmission parts.”

According to the explanation of the fine, the firm had failed to provide an emergency stopping system on its conveyor a few days prior to the accident.

“The emergency stopping system was required because workers’ access to the conveyor was not prevented by guarding.

These were repeated violations of safeguarding and the conveyor requirements,” according to WorkSafeBC. Four firms were also fined for workers not wearing fall protection equipment.

In early April, AAG Construction Ltd. was fined $3,670.70 for multiple safety violations, including four workers who lacked the required fall protection equipment as they worked between nine and 11 metres above grade on the house’s unguarded roof.

Also in April, Seven Star Precision Construction Ltd. was fined $2,973.38 when two of its workers, including the company principal, were working without fall protection equipment on a steep two-storey house under construction.

“They were about six metres above grade and working near the edge of the roof, which was not guarded. The workers wore fall protection harnesses, but were not connected to lifelines...

This was a repeated vio-

lation,” said WorkSafeBC. Serpentine Cedar Roofing Ltd. was fined $12,334.84 last April when the company’s supervisor and one other worker were some seven metres above grade on a steep roof.

“The air hoses and loose shingles that were on the roof increased the workers’ risk of tripping and falling. The concrete and stacked roofing materials on the ground below increased their risk of serious injury in the vent of a fall. The firm failed to ensure its workers used the required fall protection, which was a repeated violation. The firm also failed to provide its workers with the supervision required to ensure

their safety,” WorkSafeBC published this month.

Last May, Topsong Industries Inc. was fined $5,000 relating to workers not wearing fall-protection equipment.

“The firm’s principal and four of its other workers were working without the required fall protection on the sloped roof of a twostorey house. They were at least 5.5 metres above grade. The firm failed to ensure its workers used the required fall protection and failed to provide them with the training and supervision needed to ensure their safety.

These were both repeated violations.”

Fairway Disposal and Demolition Ltd. was

fined $12,603.30 failing to comply with a safety order.

“The firm had used concrete blocks to create a temporary structure to contain waste. The waste was piled to the top of one of the structure’s walls, which was about 3.5 metres high and leaning outward. An excavator was operated on top of the waste, near the wall.”

When WorkSafeBC ordered the firm to obtain certification from an engineer stating that the structure was capable of withstanding the stresses likely to be imposed on it, the firm “failed to comply within a reasonable time.”

Editorial: Transit art is money well spent

T

otally inappropriate. A waste of money. Spend it on buses instead.

When word went around that TransLink had approved $615,000 for three public art installations, the public outcry was immediate.

But we say it’s money well spent.

The public art pieces are destined for three SkyTrain stations, as part of the Expo Line station upgrades. None are yet planned for Richmond’s Canada Line stations, but at least, in recent years, the Vancouver Biennale has enlivened those concrete monsters at little cost to taxpayers.

That’s what public art does. It brings life to communities.

For the most part, this has already been recognized by our elected officials at Richmond City Hall. Although they turned down the chance to buy one of the most recognized sculptures of the last Vancouver Biennale—Wind Waves, which was located at Garry Point—it has managed to push developers to bring numerous artworks to

janheuninck2 photo via Flickr Richmond without public art would be a Richmond without Water Sky Garden, a permanent and public art environment outside the Richmond Olympic Oval designed by Janet Echelman.

Richmond.

And council itself has opted to spend $200,000 for five to eight temporary public art installations on a half-vacant pillar at the end of the Canada Line on No. 3 Road.

That decision nary raised an eyebrow from the public. At least not yet.

Public art makes places welcoming. Transit stations that are more than just concrete become

meeting places and public squares. Good public art leads to dialogue.

A world without public art is a world without the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty. Richmond without public art is a city without the Steveston Fishermen’s Memorial in Garry Point Park, Water Sky Garden at the Richmond Olympic Oval or The Jade Canoe at the airport.

All these oft-photographed pieces create a

sense of pride and place.

Public art can also be a boon to the economy for its ability to attract tourists and visitors. It was artist Blake Williams (creator of The River at Thompson Community Centre) who wisely once said: people don’t go to Europe just for baguettes.

The $615,000 TransLink is prepared to spend is a drop in the bucket of its $1.36-billion operating budget. If the cash is diverted to a new bus

route, that would pay for a bus, with little left over to cover the $100,000 it approximately costs to operate it each year.

Backlash to the expense is normal. It’s right to question it. And it’s up to TransLink—like any other public institution—to prove its value to the public.

TransLink’s pending public art has already accomplished something most artists aim for. It has people talking.

B.C. Views Tom Fletcher

L

ocal politicians from across B.C. are in Vancouver Sept. 16 to 20 to take part in the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention.

There will be trivia reported as news, such as the cost of hotels. Suggestions to license mobility scooters or lower speed limits to 40 km/h, dreamed up in Vancouver Island retirement locales, will be rejected by delegates from the rest of

the province.

Serious discussion will revolve around a report by a UBCM executive committee to reshape the financial relationship between the province and local governments. If this proposal gets the support it deserves, Premier Christy Clark’s government will be asked to undo a couple of decades of political meddling in that relationship.

One problem for local governments is that they depend on property tax, a stable source of revenue but one that has no relationship to the property owner’s ability to pay. It tends to load costs onto lower-income groups such as seniors and renters.

Economic growth results mainly in increased corporate and personal income tax revenues as well as sales taxes, which aren’t shared with local governments.

One key proposal is to return to a system of revenue sharing grants introduced by the Social Credit gov-

ernment in the 1980s. They were funded by one point each from personal and corporate income tax and six per cent of sales, fuel and resource tax revenues, thus increasing in years when provincial revenues were strong.

The UBCM proposal is to put a share of provincial revenues into an infrastructure bank, to be distributed by the organization on a more stable basis.

Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard, one of the authors of the report, uses a basketball analogy to describe the current system of federalprovincial grants for road and bridge projects. It’s a “jump ball,” where communities have to apply to a fund when it’s offered and then see who gets it.

Even if a community wins the jump ball, they may find themselves with costs inflated by a hot construction market and an arbitrary deadline to get the job done.

Then there are new regulations imposed by

senior governments. The most dramatic example these days is a 2020 federal deadline for Greater Victoria to construct land-based sewage treatment. Even with federal and provincial cost sharing, this project is going to land heavily on property tax bills, including those of pensioners and poor renters who will have it passed on to them.

Leonard points to another arbitrary system, provincial facilities that pay grants in lieu of property taxes. Saanich is home to the University of Victoria, a community of 25,000 people that needs water and sewer service, as well as police and fire protection. Saanich gets an annual grant in lieu of property taxes of $120,000 for UVic, enough to cover wages and benefits for one cop and maybe some gas money.

Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond, co-chair of the UBCM committee, is concerned about new water and flood protection

legislation the province is preparing to impose. His district and others like it have thousands of kilometres of riverfront, with relatively few property owners.

Interior communities also want BC Hydro to pay something for power lines, as is now being done with some aboriginal territories.

Local politicians will be expecting a sympathetic ear from the new version of the B.C. Liberal government. Former Quesnel councillor Coralee Oakes is the new community, sport and cultural development minister, with direct responsibility for local government issues.

And one of the original members of this UBCM committee was former Langley City mayor Peter Fassbender, who is now Minister of Education.

letters Russ Baker road improvement project well-planned Editor: Often during road construction, there are unavoidable delays, some frustrations and complaints despite the best efforts of all involved.

Since I drive into Vancouver for work along Russ Baker Way, I have to compliment the traffic engineering efforts of YVR and the City of Richmond.

Firstly, the road was in serious need of repair and,

secondly, the design of the traffic diversion while the work is being done is brilliant. The delays have been almost non-existent and that is entirely due to the planning and traffic pattern design.

I can’t remember a more efficient or better planned traffic diversion and you deserve credit.

RCMP Musical Ride a ‘national treasure’ Editor: I recently had the honour to be present for the first RCMP Musical Ride to be held in Richmond. My family and I came with high expectations and we were not disappointed, the riders were excellent and the horses were beautiful.

The Musical Ride is a national treasure and I feel sorry for those who were not able to attend the event. The Richmond

detachment contributed by adding a small Sunset Ceremony to the event, I was filled with pride as I watched the members carry out the flag drills with great respect.

I thought of just how much that flag has meant to people in Canada and around the world.

It was a wonderful evening and a great event for Richmond.

Editor: Last year, when I became community chair of the Richmond Christmas Fund, I learned very quickly that, though the program is most active during the holiday season, it takes a yearround effort to make it a success. The amount of planning involved is simply extraordinary,

but of course, well worth it.

money and awareness so the Christmas fund can assist as many families as possible, and, hopefully, offer greater assistance year after year.

To that end, I formed the Richmond Christmas Fund Roundtable.

Comprised entirely of volunteers—who themselves are community

and business leaders from a wide range of industries and professions—the group began in 2012 with 25 members. That year, through special events, fundraising campaigns, and sector specific initiatives like the Realtor Challenge, the roundtable played a significant role in Christmas fund fundraising efforts, which totalled nearly $200,000.

This year, the roundtable has doubled in size to 50 members. In 2014, we hope to reach 100. With each member doing their part to contribute to this very important cause, we feel we can make an ever greater impact in our community, and on the lives of families struggling through difficult times.

But we can’t do it alone. Visit www.volunteerrichmond.ca to find out how you can get involved. Together, let’s ensure that everyone can share in the holiday spirit.

Editor: An open letter to Peter Fassbender, Minister of Education. The news that the government and the CUPE negotiating team are now back to the bargaining table is most encouraging. Bargaining in good faith is a goal of any negotiation process and one our board strongly endorses.

While we recognize a wage increase for CUPE employees is warranted, we feel obligated to communicate strongly and clearly that sufficient funding for education is essential in order to maintain the high quality of education we offer for all of our students.

It is imperative that the government make the provision of adequate funding to cover all costs associated with K to 12 public education a top priority. This includes providing districts with funds to support any negotiated wage increases.

Boards have been directed by your ministry to identify cost savings in order to fund any negotiated wage settlement.

Our board has always been diligent and has attained necessary cost savings through staff and other reductions to balance our budget.

Therefore the directive to find further savings will inevitably mean a reduction in service levels through further staff cuts.

The B.C. School Trustees Association, at its 2013 AGM, made the following a part of its policy, and we fully supported this motion: “Government should fully fund boards of education for all increases in their costs attributable to the government.”

The recent announcements reducing the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association to an advisory role without consultation is alarming in its implications for the future of the cogovernance model in our province.

It is our hope that the scheduled round of bargaining results in a successful and reasonable provincial framework, and further that this framework does not put the financial burden for any negotiated settlements on school districts.

Fall fashion trends Celia Leung Fashion Stylist

t’s time to put away the scuba dresses, black and white striped pieces and anything neon. Fall fashion has arrived along with a new set of trends. For this season the theme

is a play on feminine and masculine styles with a bit of androgynous punk thrown in.

Fall and winter shows coincided with the anticipation of Metropolitan Museum’s fashion exhibit, Punk: Chaos to Couture, held at the Costume Institute earlier this year. These events culminated in the alternative trend currently found in stores and as a part of street style. For fall, Rodarte showcased their punk sensibility

with deconstructed dresses and oversized motorcycle jackets.

Hardware details, vinyl pants and tangled layers of necklaces were spotted over at Versace. Even Chanel designed thigh-high leather boots draped with metal chains. To get the punk look, try pairing a distressed leather jacket with skinny tartan pants and combat boots.

Incorporate details such as studs, chains and spikes. An additional and easy way to

add a touch of punk to your ensemble is with an ear cuff. Seen at Jean Paul Gaultier and Thakoon, the ear cuff is definitely undergoing a revival.

Another returning 90s fashion trend is grunge, mostly due to the collection at Saint Laurent. For a grunge style, the key is to look like your outfit was assembled from thrift store finds. Flannel shirts, oversized sweaters, babydoll dresses, patterned tights, and jean jackets and vests were the essence of this subculture’s fashion.

For silhouettes, both menswear-inspired and feminine 1940s shapes are on trend.

The two were perfectly encapsulated in Dries Van Noten’s show.

Slouchy, oversized contours were mixed with feathered textures and brocade pieces.

The 1940s style was seen at in at a multitude of shows, such

as Prada, Rochas and Lanvin. Characterized by nipped-in waists and full skirts, the refined ladylike look would fit right into Hitchcock’s film noirs.

For menswear, the idea is to look like you borrowed a coat or blazer from your boyfriend’s wardrobe. Try oversized single- or doublebreasted topcoats. For a more figure flattering approach, buckle a belt over the waist of the coat. Menswearinspired style was spotted at Stella McCartney, 3.1 Phillip Lim and Chloe.

Another way to try out the menswear trend is through fabrics. Pinstripes, herringbone, houndstooth, tweed, argyle and Glen plaid are easy to incorporate into a fall wardrobe. Ease into it by adding a patterned piece to an otherwise neutral ensemble. For the bold, try wearing head to toe patterns.

the look by picking pieces from the same colour family.

Always popular for fall and winter is fur. Whether real or faux, fur pieces were all over the runways from accessories to dresses. Fendi even incorporated the texture into the models’ hair for a furry mohawk. A range of fur were seen at the fall shows, from colourful dyed fur seen at Lanvin and Versace, to classic fur stoles shown at Marc Jacobs.

For colours, both warm and cool tones ran rampant in the fall collections. Reds and pinks were popular for warmer hues while blues and greys ruled the cool shades. Even Valentino strayed from his signature red, aside from a few pieces, and focused on blue dresses. Over at Dolce & Gabbana, red gowns made a dramatic finale at their show. Cotton candy pink dresses and coats were refreshing amidst the dark ensembles at Simone Rocha. If you want to splurge on a trendy item for the fall, make it an oversized yet structured coat in a tone of red or blue.

It’ll be perfect for layering over a chunky sweater.

Fall accessories also follow the masculine and feminine trend. Menswearinspired flats such as oxford shoes and loafers are popular this season.

For a girlier touch, there’s ankle-strap

A dress at Lanvin that combines both the 1940s and pink trends (Source: TheFashionSpot.com)

heels, stacked pumps and over-the-knee boots. As for bags anything goes in terms of size, from small clutches to big portfolio bags and slouchy purses.

Whether your usual style leans more towards ladylike, menswear-inspired or punk, there’s a fall trend that will complement and update your existing wardrobe. So layer up and have fun with fashion!

sports Thunder silence Chaos, 1-0, in women’s soccer opener Richmond Chaos didn’t quite get the result they were hoping for in their inaugural game in the Metro Women’s Soccer League Second Division Sunday, losing 1-0 to Guildford Thunder.

Thunder converted a well-placed corner kick early for the only goal of the match, which was well played.

Erin Lee’s penalty kick from inside the 18 yard box narrowly missed tying the game. Joined at midfield by returning player Alexis Ford and newcomers Briana Ho and Jasmine Mann, the combination controlled much of the centre of the pitch.

Trojans dominate, except on scoreboard

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Bill Haddow figured he’d get a good read on his team after the Hugh Boyd Trojans hosted the Ballenas Whalers last Friday in Richmond. Save for the final score, he was happy with what he saw.

In their 2013 home

opener, the Trojans dominated just about every facet of the B.C. AA high school football exhibition game but gave up two big plays that both resulted in touchdowns and a 14-7 loss.

“I think the kids played really hard and well enough to win the game if not for a few mistakes,” said Haddow. “But it’s football. It always comes down to a few plays and you have to make the plays when they’re there.”

Against Ballenas, the Trojans showed they’ve got the talent and desire to play with the upperechalon teams. But equally clear is there are more than a few wrinkles to iron out. “(Ballenas) had a big kick return and another punt return and that was reflective of our special teams being out of sorts all night,” said Haddow. “But I

think those are things that can be corrected.”

The Trojans will use the remainder of the exhibition schedule—this coming Friday they’ll host Abbotsford’s Rick Hansen Hurricanes under the lights at 7 p.m. at Hugh Boyd Park and will play Notre Dame Jugglers at Burnaby Lakes sports complex on Sept. 20— continuing to fine tune.

“We’re still trying to fit all the pieces together,” said Haddow. “But this a group of experienced football players and we have depth where guys can play different positions.”

A pair of Whalers combine to bring down Trojans’ running back Kory Nagata.

Lambert back to guide Sockeyes’ fortunes From Page 12

Even with 11 rookies on this year’s roster, the 201314 Pacific Junior Hockey League season should be no exception.

“I expect we’ll be competitive as usual,” said Petrowsky, whose knack for recruiting talent was challenged this past offseason after the Sockeyes lost—to graduation or a higher level of hockey— all but seven members of last season’s Keystone Cup Canadian Junior B championship team. Yet he was, again, able to land some pretty fish from the prospect pond.

“It was recruit, recruit, recruit,” said Petrowsky. “But the kids invited to camp responded real quick and basically everyone we invited made the team.

We’ve got a great scholarship program which is a huge selling feature, plus it’s just a lot easier when you’ve got a good reputation (like the Sockeyes, for treating players well and helping them progress to the next level).”

Even in a 4-1 exhibition loss to Grandview Steelers Saturday at Minoru Arenas—the first taste of junior action for many—the young Sockeyes skated well and demonstrated good instincts with the puck. The return of incumbent 20-year-old Kootenay Alder, one of the league’s top goaltenders last season, should add another layer of confidence among the newcomers.

“Kootenay is going to be the backbone this year there’s no doubt about that,” laughed Petrowsky.

“And a couple of veterans.”

Among the “veterans” is Richmond minor hockey product Adam Nishi, who will wear the “C” as captain this season. It’s a welldeserved honour and one he’ll have no trouble handling, said Petrowsky.

Another local minor hockey product, Daniel Tait will look to build on 38 points in 42 games as a Sockeye a year ago. He should have plenty of help in the offensive category, however, with many of the rookies known for putting the puck in the net. Among them are Jacob Wozney, 17, who scored 30 points for the Greater Vancouver Canadians in the B.C. Major Midget league last season and Cole Plotnikoff, 16, who netted 25 points as a member of the Valley West Hawks, drawing the attention of the Lethbridge Hurricanes which selected him in the second round of the Western Hockey League Bantam Draft.

Richmond Sockeyes Following is the Richmond Sockeyes’ roster heading into the 2013-14 season.

After a year’s hiatus, Judd Lambert returns to the Richmond Sockeyes’ bench for the 2013-14 season.

Mac Colasimone is another exciting prospect who joined the Sockeyes this season via Sarnia, Ont. “He a little guy who played at a very competitive level of Midget last year. He definitely has the speed and will go through a wall for you,” Petrowsky said of Colasimone, whose family moved to the Lower Mainland after his dad was transferred for work.

Ayden MacDonald also promises to be a crowd favourite. While he resides in Langley, he has a large extended family with Richmond roots.

“He could potentially

have 50 of his own fans every night,” laughed Petrowsky.

Judd Lambert, himself a graduate of the Sockeyes and who in 1992 backstopped them to a provincial Cyclone Taylor Cup championship, is back as head coach after a year’s absence. In five previous seasons at the helm, Lambert, a 1993 draft pick of the NHL New Jersey Devils and a college star at Colorado College, guided Richmond to a 181-37-16 regular-season record and a 42-12-5 playoff record.

OBITUARIES

ESSON, Robert McCombie JANUARY 13, 1931 – AUGUST 31, 2013

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our father, partner, Papa, brother and friend. Bob was predeceased by his first wife Margaret (Mag) Stewart Esson (1985) and his granddaughter Tristan Esson (2000). He is lovingly remembered and survived by his partner Alma McDonald and her daughter Megan; his children Lynne, Ewen (Jeanine), Fiona, Callum; grandchildren Terry, Tara and Dianne; great grandchildren Kasey and Remy; second wife Elizabeth and the Antle family, as well as extended family in Scotland. Bob was born and raised in Peterculter, Aberdeen, Scotland.

He first immigrated to Kitimat, B.C. in 1957 and returned to Canada again in 1966. In 1967, he moved the family to Richmond where he planted roots and became a longtime resident. Bob was the president of Caltron Office Furniture, a proud B.C. family owned and operated manufacturer and retailer. His life was full and well-lived . He was honest, hardworking and principled. Bob was an astute businessman, prolific reader,

insightful friend, master gardener, world traveller, soccer enthusiast and avid historian.

He was an admirer of the Scottish Poet Robert Burns.

He was an outstanding partner and friend, and a loving and supportive father. He was one of a kind and will be missed by many.

A Memorial to honour Bob’s life will take place Thursday, September 12 at 3:00 pm.

The fundraiser, which raised well over $25,000 for the Rick Rypien Foundation, Canucks Autism Network and other mental health initiatives, was held in memory of former Vancouver Canuck Rick Rypien, who passed away in 2011.

“The main goal is to

carry on the legacy of Rick and to always remember him...he wanted to get people to open up and talk about what they were going through,” said Travis Britton, co-organizer of the event.

“Talking about it really does help,” he said.

The tournament aims to help those struggling with mental illness in the hope of saving others from the same fate as Rypien.

Following a round of golf, participants toasted to the former Canuck, enjoyed dinner and bid on silent and live auction items.

“It’s a pretty special day, I only see it growing,” Britton said.

The event organizers decided to make the fundraiser an annual affair after the success of last year’s tournament.

“It means a lot, it means people care,” Britton said. “Rick touched a lot of lives.”
