Sheep recently sent to downtown Richmond to graze at a future development site are moving to greener pastures.

After counting sheep yesterday (Thursday) afternoon, the city reported all but six of the 25 woolly wascals had been removed from a grassy field in the 8200 block of Alexandra Road.

“Most of the sheep have been removed as per city directives to the property owner,” said Ted Townsend, city spokesperson. “We provided several extensions but after lack of response by the landscaper, we have been working directly with the property owner to achieve compliance with our bylaws.”

The property’s zoning of “auto oriented commercial” does not permit the keeping of sheep. Townsend also noted there were concerns about the care of the animals as prescribed under the city’s animal control bylaw.

“The keeping of livestock is incompatible with typical urban land uses,” he said.

Property owner Modern International Holdings Ltd. has until today to remove the remaining sheep from the property, which is located across from Lansdowne Centre mall and sandwiched between restaurants.

On Sept. 4, a landscaper from Magnolia Tree Services brought a flock of sheep to the field to keep the site’s grass and weeds in check.

In an earlier interview with The Richmond Review, Modern International manager Charles Lee said although his firm hired Magnolia, the decision to bring sheep to the site was not authorized by his firm.

Modern International has applied to build a commercial complex on the site that would feature a nine-storey hotel, along with retail and restaurant space.

Art show ‘the epitome’ of seeing beyond disability Artwork from adults supported by Richmond Society of Community Living featured at city hall

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

E

min Jassal shifts her motorized wheelchair toward a wall of paint-

ings.

“The first one right here,” she gestures. “It’s a baby cradle.”

Jassal, a young woman with an

eye for art, is among the adults supported by Richmond Society for Community Living. She participates in the society’s Avenues art program, which is exhibiting a variety of works at Richmond City Hall from participants with a range of disabilities.

Jassal chose to create the threedimensional work—complete with roses, ribbons and a miniature baby—because, quite simply, she likes kids. How does she feel now that it’s on display for all to see?

“Really happy.”

The annual exhibition is timed with Community Living Month.

Lisa Cowell, manager of fund and community development with the society, said the exhibition allows viewers to see art for art’s sake—

not that the artist has a disability.

“So often we think people with disabilities don’t have the same capabilities,” she said. “We have a slogan which is seeing beyond disability to ability, and this to me is the epitome of that.”

Robert Grad, 55, also attends the Avenues program. His half-metretall canvas Red Parrot is an acrylic painting that made the cover of the society’s annual report.

Finished with non-traditional techniques and equipment, program art director Mumtaz Khokhar calls the creations “modified art.”

Grad utilized brushes with stiff bristles, while others use tools such as a sponge attached to a wooden spoon. And the process of researching, practising and

square-by-square painting is timeconsuming.

“This one has 1,000 steps,” said Khokhar of Grad’s parrot. “It takes us a year to do sometimes.”

But the artists don’t show frustration, noted Khokhar, who said in 15 years she’s never seen someone quit.

“It’s always fun,” she said. “They want to do it all the time.”

Beyond seeing their work displayed in art exhibitions, some artists have also found success in selling.

“They all want to do art because they want to make money,” laughs Restie Bengco, the program’s supervisor. “They will come to my office and say, ‘Is my cheque ready yet?’”

Making art not only allows participants to exercise creativity, it also develops skills in fine motor

control and research. Improved self-esteem is another positive benefit, along with a sense of pride for participants like Grad, who started in art with crayons and progressed to applying gold leaf to his red parrot’s wings.

Said Bengco: “He was saying it symbolized sunshine.”

Some Avenues artisans will also have their work featured in the ninth annual art show INCLUSION, which takes place in Vancouver Oct. 29 from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Heritage Hall. Artwork will be available for sale.

Artwork and handicrafts are also available at the Endless Possibilities store, located at the Avenues day program, 140-5726 Minoru Blvd.

Fraser River shipping could bloom without tunnel

by Jeff Nagel Black Press Eliminating the Massey Tunnel would open up the Fraser River to expanded shipping that could in some cases help take truck traffic off the roads.

Fraser Surrey Docks chief executive officer Jeff Scott lists that as one of the benefits that would come with a new Deas Island bridge promised by the province, provided the tunnel is removed and the channel is dredged.

“I think it creates opportunities for growth and expansion up and down the Fraser River that could result in thousands of jobs and significant economic benefit,” Scott said.

Ships carrying more containers are among those that could sail upstream if the channel is deepened to allow vessels loaded to a draft of 13.5 metres, instead of the limit of 11.5 metres now.

That wouldn’t necessarily mean larger ships sailing on the river.

Scott said Panamax-size vessels—the same size as the oil tankers that load at Kinder Morgan’s terminal on Burrard Inlet

—already sail up to Fraser Surrey Docks, but they can’t be fully loaded because of the channel depth at the tunnel.

“You’ll see the same ships, we could just load larger volume on them,” he predicted.

That’s significant because it’s uneconomic right now for shippers to essentially pay twice to use two ships, along with the cost of loading them, when they could instead send out one fully loaded from a different terminal.

“It’s economies of scale,” Scott said. “If they have to pay twice they go somewhere else where they only have to pay once to load a vessel up.”

Scott uses the example of the Interfor sawmill that’s adjacent to Fraser Surrey Docks.

It can’t fully load lumber on a ship at Fraser Surrey Docks so it instead trucks all that lumber across town to Burrard Inlet, where a large ship can be filled to capacity with Interfor lumber, the same as the forest company’s competitors do.

“You have all that impact on the community and roads of trucking that to Vancouver, just to accommodate a deeper draft vessel,” he said.

Scott said there might actually be fewer ships moving on the

river, but more fully loaded.

The terminal also hopes to drum up more shipping business with more efficient, heavily laden vessels.

Scott lists wheat, grains and specialty crops, as well as potash and forest products, as the likeliest cargo types Fraser Surrey Docks might attract.

The terminal is also in the midst of a contentious proposal to open a new coal-handling facility that would transfer coal from trains onto barges and send it to Texada Island for reloading to larger ships.

Asked if Fraser Surrey Docks could load ocean-going coal ships after the tunnel is gone, rather than barging first to Texada, Scott said he’s focused on proceeding with the coal terminal as it’s now proposed.

Asked if an alternate oil export terminal on the river for Kinder Morgan’s pipeline might be another possibility, Scott said he’s heard no talk of that.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie has said his city is concerned that eliminating the tunnel would enable larger tankers carrying jet fuel to go up the Fraser to Port Metro Vancouver’s Richmond port.

with... her love of ballet.

It was a big leap to make for a teenager with a passion for pirouettes, but Jego stuck with it and launched into an early dance career. In 2009 she began teaching at Richmond Arts Centre, and today leads the three-year-old Richmond Youth Dance Company.

Born in Windsor, Ont. Jego moved to Alberta to study at the Edmonton School of Ballet. She trained in the professional program studying musical theatre, jazz, modern, tap, character dance and choreography, with a main focus on ballet.

She performed in various ballets—including The Nutcracker, Coppelia, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Cinderella and Don Quixote—before teaching became a priority.

In 1999, Jego was invited to lead and develop the ballet program at a competitive dance school in Alberta. She continued in that role until pursuing her other passion—nutrition—and earned a degree in nutritional science from University of Alberta.

In her career she has taught dancers ranging

in age from two to 85.

Among them are those enrolled at Richmond Youth Dance Company.

The company, which began in 2010, has blossomed into a well-rounded program in which dancers are exposed to a variety of styles while focusing on classical ballet.

Jego also teaches beginner and intermediate adult ballet classes at Richmond Arts Centre.

Away from dance, a 16-month-old daughter keeps her busy.

Richmond Review · Page 5 “Kids will be kids, boys will be boys. They’re just cruel at that age.” So says a Georgia state school administrator, speaking at a community forum organized by the parents of Tyler, a relentlessly bullied 17-yearold who took his own life. Platitudes such as these invoke the palpable anger that infuses Bully, a powerful and timely documentary by Sundance- and EmmyAward-winning filmmaker Lee Hirsch.

Abandoned dogs find new homes Shelter fields 100 expressions of interest; origin of Yorkies and Chihuahuas still unknown

by Matthew Hoekstra

Free Screening Tuesday, October 8th at 7pm

Staff Reporter Nearly all 38 dogs recently dumped outside Richmond Animal Shelter have found new homes, according to a city spokesperson.

“We received more than 100 expressions of interest from the community from people interested in adopting the dogs, so the response was very positive,” said Ted Townsend.

On Aug. 30 staff at the No. 5 Road shelter arrived in the morning to find outside dozens of small dogs in several cages. Yorkshire terriers and Chihuahuas were among the abandoned animals.

Staff accommodated the animals at the shelter, operated by the Richmond Animal Protection Society, and found them to be in good health. Potential adoptive families quickly stepped forward, and Townsend said as of this week only a few animals remained at the shelter for some additional socialization before moving to their new homes.

“We don’t need any additional homes for the abandoned dogs, but (the shelter) always has some animals looking for new homes, particularly cats,” he said.

Townsend said the incident led to significant costs for shelter operators, who spent an estimated $12,000 on veterinarian care, food and supplies for the dogs. Although most costs will be recovered through adoption fees, the expenses have still put a strain on the nonprofit society, said Townsend.

The origin of the dogs is unknown. Richmond RCMP investigated the case, but once the animals were found to be in good health—with no possibility of charges related to animal welfare—the file was closed, said Cpl. Stephanie Ashton.

Also on Aug. 30, another 12 dogs were abandoned in cages outside New Westminster’s animal shelter.

The film follows three bullied kids over the course of a school year: Alex, a smart, gawky 12‐year‐old whose classmates call him Fishface, Kelby, 16 years old and a popular star athlete, until she came out as a lesbian; and Ja’Meya, 14, an honour student charged with 45 felony counts after bringing a loaded handgun to school to face down her tormentors. We also hear from two sets of parents who faced the anguish of a child’s death by suicide. Touched by unaccountable loss, these parents are demanding accountability and trying to effect change.

Bully is not only a film about the victims of schoolyard persecution, it is also a hopeful film about the emergence of grassroots anti‐bullying movement and the possibility of change.

20 questions with Miyouki Jego From Page 4 3. What ignited your passion for dance?

“My mother took me to my first ballet and that was it. She had an idea that I would be a dancer because I would always walk on my toes.”

4. Most memorable performance? “I think

I was 10 when I danced my first solo on pointe.

I remember feeling so confident in my pretty little pink sparkly tutu. It was a great accomplishment at the time. “ 5. Your most challenging dancing role?

“Swanhilda in Coppelia.

I practised with my mentor every chance I had before performing but I was never satisfied with the outcome. I had high expectations probably because it was my favourite ballet.”

City of Richmond

6. Nutrition advice for dancers? “The best advice I can give is to get enough whole foods in the daily diet. It is too easy to pack pre-packaged meals for a day at rehearsals but it definitely catches up to you in a very negative way.”

7. A favourite snack?

“Nuts and fresh fruit with a cup of tea.”

8. Breakfast of choice? “Eggs—done any way.”

9. Most important quality of a dancer?

“The love and dedication they have for the art.”

10. Goal for Richmond Youth Dance Company? “To attain a professional quality of dance but to still maintain an inviting and nurturing environment for the students.”

11. Where in the world do dancers have the most opportunities? “Many of my colleagues and former classmates have danced professionally in Europe, U.S, and some are still dancing with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. It is a very competitive field.”

12. Thoughts on TV dance shows? “Oh boy—this is a loaded one.

Well as popular as they are, and as entertaining as these shows are, there is far more to dance than what is shown. It is after all television.”

13. Worst injury you’ve suffered? “Tendonitis in my achilles tendon. It was the worst because every winter it came back and I had to suffer through hours of dance on that ankle. It was so painful and still to this day I cannot pointe my feet properly.”

14. Most proud of?

“Being brave enough to move away from my family at the age of 14 to pursue my love of ballet and stick with it.”

15. Any regrets? “I regret not continuing to dance for myself a little longer before I began my career as a teacher. I think it is something that I will need to pick up again in the near future.“ 16. What inspires you?

“The passion I see in other artists inspires me, particularly ballet artists.

Every time I see a ballet performed by the Pacific Northwest Ballet I come back to Canada feeling very inspired.”

17. Where would you most like to travel?

“France. I have family in Brittany and would like to take my daughter.”

18. Are you a night owl or early bird? “I am definitely a night owl. I feel most creative at night and I think most artists feel that way.”

19. Favourite meal both you and your daughter will eat? “Fish, rice, sautéed vegetables and salad.”

20. Do you hope your daughter takes to dancing? “I would, of course, be happy if it made her happy. Truthfully, I really hope that she doesn’t desire to be a dancer for a living. It is not an easy life and it will require a lot of sacrifice and dedication. If she does, however, become a dancer I would be overjoyed to watch her in her glory.”

School boards knew of CUPE costs, minister says

Sushi Bento Catering

by Tom Fletcher

Japanese Foods

Black Press Education Minister Peter Fassbender says boards protesting the cost of a 3.5 per cent raise for school support should have known it was coming, but some opted to wait and hope for an NDP government to take over.

Fassbender said in an interview that school trustees have been working with the education ministry for months on “savings plans.”

They knew the B.C. Liberal government would not increase budgets to cover a raise for workers who haven't seen one in four years, and have been without a contract for more than a year.

“I think there was some hope on the part of some [trustees] that we would, with our backs to the wall perhaps, come up with additional dollars,” Fasssbender said.

“And the other reality, quite honestly, was that up until May 14 there was some anticipation that there was going to be a change of government.”

Trustees around the province are grappling with added costs for contracts with 69 union locals representing education assistants, bus drivers, custodians and crossing guards. Mostly members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, support staff workers are currently voting on a two-year tentative agreement that is already more than halfway to expiring next June.

Union locals and boards of education must all vote to ratify the agreement by December for it to take effect. It includes a one per cent raise retroactive to July 1, another two per cent starting Feb. 1 and 0.5 per cent in May 2014.

Fassbender said the support staff settlement meets the government’s “co-operative gains” mandate imposed on all public service unions, because CUPE chose to accept a smaller raise and protect its ability to bank sick days.

The ministry’s new chief negotiator, Peter Cameron, offered CUPE two per cent raises in each year, as other government workers have received, but the tradeoff was to give up accumulating unused sick days.

School support staff and teachers are the last provincial government unions to accept a “co-operative gains” contract. Fassbender and Premier Christy Clark have offered to fund raises for teachers, if they will agree to a long-term settlement.

Editorial: Voters want responsible representatives

T

he guest editorial published on this page last Friday from our sister newspaper serving Coquitlam and the other cities in the Tri-Cities area, makes some excellent points about the challenge of getting rookie local politicians up to speed.

There is lots of information to absorb when you’re part of a local council, particularly in large and growing municipalities.

But that’s why there are seminars for newly-elected councillors — to learn how to manage this overflow of information and juggle it with other duties.

Four-year terms for councillors will not solve this problem. Instead, what

four-year terms will do is further entrench councillors so that they are rarely, if ever, thrown out of office.

The longer that councillors stay in office, the less they listen to local residents. While there are exceptions, most become very comfortable with the information they are fed by top managers in their cities, and sympathize less and less with residents

who have a problem with specific aspects of city administration.

In terms of saving money, it would be very interesting to study how much money was saved when B.C. went from two-year terms to three years, in the late 1980s. It is almost certain that no money was saved at all.

Council members in recent years have regularly raised their own wages

by percentages people in the private sector can only dream about.

If there are actual savings from holding one less election over a 12-year period, it‘s a safe bet that the savings will end up in the form of larger council paychecks.

What citizens truly crave is council responsibility, and that has nothing to do with the length of the term.

Digging Deep Jim Wright

R

eminder: A Walmart mall that spoils nature’s art will soon be Richmond’s signature architecture—unless it’s scaled back behind restored forest. As part of the Garden City Lands area, our central park and City Centre would be devalued most.

Effect: The people in that area will be hardest hit. And we know from a censusbased map it’s the largest low-income area in Metro Vancouver. (That’s based on the median, the mid-point of the household incomes, and our City Centre has highincome households too. Still, it’s in the bottom tier.)

In this I’m thinking of those whose income depends on a fast-food outlet that’s closing and the mom who sleeps on the floor so the kids can have the bed. Thanks to Richmond Poverty Response, I know of them, persons behind the stats.

The social equalizer should be our parkland. It fills out one’s housing space, like a longer living room or patio.

In that mindset, the Garden City Lands, our central park, are a garden for community wellness, which the city aptly describes as social, physical and spiritual wellbeing.

Reality check: From the Garden City Lands, let’s look north again, this time to the mall neighbourhood,

Garden City Lands Coalition concept map, including all-weather trails in green.

Alexandra (City Centre in all but name). Council cancelled Alexandra’s park last year.

With a footbridge to cross Alderbridge Way, the lands will do, they said. But the bridge doesn’t exist.

Recently, when staff brought the Walmart mall plan back to council, most of Alexandra’s greenway had vanished too. The lands will do, they said. But the city’s new 10-year park plan, which sounds terrific in some ways, leaves out the Garden City Lands. It seems our central park will be enhanced no sooner than 2023.

No wonder the city felt free to set back the park planning with its May 2013 ad blitz to frame the lands as a

blank canvas, blanking out priceless legacies, natural treasures and ALR status.

Missteps like that ensure non-progress and squandered value, despite project staff that do their best.

Again, the loss hits the least privileged most. They may live near the Garden City Lands, but there are no trails there for them, let alone the all-weather access that people want.

Fortunately, the project team now has aims for the Garden City Lands that fit with the community’s goal: to steward that central park in the ALR for agriculture, conservation and openland-park recreation, all for community wellness. Many

benefits!

To illustrate that, the Garden City Lands Coalition came up with a concept map years ago. It shows the givens and near-givens, starting with a satellite image of the lands. The only trails shown are farm roads (in green) that also serve hydrology needs, but I’ll fill out the picture to describe all-weather access.

Off Garden City Road, the new park entrance would extend Lansdowne Road. From the “multi-purpose area,” there’d be a trail link to the ecology dyke trails. (No spot for it is shown yet because the concept map shows only what the lands—via nature, legal status and council—tell the alert observer.)

Farm-road trails can have a wide surface, and it could suit all-weather cycling and rolling, even for wheelchairs, as well as walking and running.

Incidentally, the ample space shown for conservation (60%) is Coun. Harold Steves’ idea, a starting point.

Also, people want ponds, with recreational uses among ALR ones.

Back on topic, let’s hope our central park approach will put less-privileged park users first. We’ll be stewarding one of the world’s great parks, not to show off but to share.

Imagine Richmond without the ALR Editor: Re: B.C. government core review and threat to the Garden City lands.

I am writing to advise Richmondites that our farmland and particularly the Garden City lands is under threat by actions of the B.C. government.

Bill Bennett, minister responsible for the B.C. government’s core review said recently, “We’re going to look at some sacrosanct things, like certain agencies. We’re going to look at the Agricultural Land Reserve and the Agricultural Land Commission. I’m going to look at things that politicians have been nervous about looking at over the years and ask to better understand how they make their decisions and why they make their decisions and determine whether they’re structured to help achieve the goals of our provincial government.”

After fighting so hard to save the Garden City lands from development it would be a real shame if the provincial government overruled the City of Richmond and declared there would be no more Agricultural Land Reserve. We Richmondites have

big plans for the Garden City lands.

The city heard loud and clear that we want public open spaces, community gardens, test plots for new farmers, and natural parkland accessible to all.

Where would Richmond be without the ALR? I could see wall-to-wall highrises instead of beautiful vistas of the mountains; pavement and concrete instead of rich, productive land growing us food and giving us clean air.

As is evidenced by the planned expansion of Port Metro Vancouver and Deltaport, it appears provincial and federal governments are bent on destroying our natural environment in order to ship in food and manufactured goods. But once the oil is gone and the ships stop coming, we will need to provide for ourselves. So let’s start now. Save the ALR! I would urge everyone that cares about farmland in Richmond to write a short note to the select standing committee on finance and government facilities at www.leg.bc.ca/cmt/ finance/submission.asp by Oct. 16.

Better Grades Happier Kids

Rs are not the reason why, Rs are but to say or try Editor: “Fee little snowmen standing at the dough” she sang in the back of the car as we drove home from pre-school. I thought nothing of it as I had heard that same line about 15 times even before we got into the car. Besides when the car radio is turned up you can barely hear her.

We arrive back home and she's still singing about the snowman named Fee standing beside some unmade bread when the wife asks me what she's singing about. I tell her about old Fee and the dough and how many times I’ve had to endure the same line over and over.

“I don’t think that's what she's singing about Mr. Magoo,” she responds.

“Mr. Magoo could hear, he just couldn't see!” I correct her again.

“Jeez where were you in the ’60s?”

"I think she's singing ‘Three little snowman standing at the door,’ my much older husband who got to the 60s five years older than me!"

OK, I’m thinking that makes sense. (That’s why the date of birth on our licenses are so far apart). And, “three” instead of “fee” (snowmen could have

friends) plus “door” instead of “dough” makes sense, too.

If your a snowman, anything made of dough requires baking, and baking is not a hobby of snowmen.

“She’s dropping her Rs just like Gabriella’s doing (our other granddaughter). The majority of kids at school are Asian, and that’s how they sing it.”

My wife’s a stickler on the kids pronouncing their Rs. More and more they drop the R. And it’s not just them. I talked with other parents (non-Asian) and they had noticed the same habit.

It seems, maybe, we are developing a dialect peculiar to our area. We see this many times in society.Boston, the southern part of the United States, Newfoundland and even Canada itself has its own slant on English from our southern neighbours, eh.

I don’t think I'm bigoted by bringing this up, it’s just something I’ve noticed here in Richmond lately. And it’s no slight against the Asian population.

When we learn to speak other languages we also carry over our pronunciation peculiar to our own area.

But, and this is a big but here (an Aunt Tilley size), is this how

it has to be for children born here? Is it inherent that no matter how hard the school system or the home tries (most homes in Richmond are Asian) today’s youth will carry an Asian accent? ’Cause kids hanging around kids want, need, have too blend in with their peers. Especially when he or she is perceived as cool.

(OK I’m old!)

You get one cool Asian kid and three white kids together and within a week the three white kids are talking like their cool Asian friend.

I bring this all up because of family living outside the Lower Mainland. They’ve notice a different dialect to what had been spoken before she started pre-school. So, now I’m defending the school system, and her continuation of her grade school here in Richmond.

So I ask, in 30 years are we all going to speak with a southern west coast accent peculiar to our area? It's a fact that different dialects happen over and over in society. Can we stop it? Or should we even try. I mean, what's wrong with old “Fee” and his pile of dough anyway?

Dear YVR: You blew it

Thanks to teachers for their dedication

Editor: Repaving is complete on Sea Island and nothing is really any better. All users of this route knew very well where all the potholes and hazards were but traffic flow has not improved at all.

I live in Richmond and have worked at the airport for 30 years, and commuting there has never been a greater challenge than it is now. There is a 100-metre section northbound between Cessna Drive (BCIT) and Hudson Avenue (Burkeville entrance) that funnels traffic down to two lanes delaying airport workers and passengers from the right hand exit after Miller Road. Why should passengers and airport workers be subjected to the Marpole/ Arthur Laing bottleneck when we aren't part of that problem? As I typed this the back-up is over the No.

Editor: In recognition of World Teachers’ Day on October 5, 2013, the Richmond Board of Education, along with students and parents, would like to send a heartfelt thank you to all the teachers within our District.

The board recognizes the role of teachers in the classroom and the community and appreciates their continued commitment and effort. Through their daily work of leading, mentoring and inspiring they make a tremendous contribution to providing quality education and sustainable development.

Teachers dedicate a great deal of time collaborating with administrators and support staff as well as parents in the community. Through these partnerships and relationships we are able to achieve exceptional results within the District and provide the learning experience that our children deserve.

Recognizing excellence in the classroom means recognizing those who inspire, challenge, and influence the future.

Thank you to our dedicated teachers for making Richmond public schools a great place to learn.

Donna Sargent Chairperson, on behalf of the Board of Education (Richmond)

Road. Bridge to Westminster Highway, with no doubt some airport workers and passengers arriving late yet again.

The northbound section between BCIT and Hudson could have been widened to three lanes quite easily, while still maintaining the integrity of the bike lane, by moving the cement barriers on the right slightly eastward and the yellow line at the median moved slightly westward at no extra cost.

You could have had a right hand lane for airport/buses/ HOV/ traffic all the way from the Dinsmore Bridge.

Traffic flow in this city and all of the Lower Mainland is bad enough. One would think that when the opportunity presents itself to improve upon traffic flow, one would take it.

How The Highest Step in the World Became a Thrilling Piece of Theatre

D

avid van Belle and Eric Rose (Ghost River Theatre’s CoArtistic Directors) are renowned for their flair for presenting inventive stories on stage. With The Highest Step in the World, audiences can expect the same ingenious creativity that has brought them national recognition.

Recounting their initial creative conversation for Highest Step, David says, “I saw a late-night documentary about Joseph Kittinger … arguably the first person into space, before Gagarin, before Shepard. I told his story to Eric and suggested we do a show about him. Eric instantly said, ‘Yeah! And we should do it using projection and a flying harness!’ I was skeptical. Luckily, Eric is persuasive.”

Before he knew it, David was hanging from the rafters, harnessed into a rigging system designed by Flying Director Adrian Young and co-operated with Chris McPherson. David describes the system as “a combination of mechanical power and sheer beefy muscle power. Adrian and Chris are out of sight working the rig during the show. One of my favourite parts in the show is the first time I fly out over audience members. I try to make eye contact with someone in the house. It feels like I could just reach down and shake that person’s hand.”

It’s that passion for connecting with audiences that motivates David and Eric, and has earned them recognition as true innovators in Canadian theatre.

DENTAL IMPLANT ADVANTAGES

There are two major advantages to be noted with dental implants: 1. Improved appearance: In the first year of losing or extracting a tooth you can lose up to 50% of the bone required for a dental implant. If an implant is placed it will stimulate the bone much like the natural root of a tooth and prevent the face from collapsing due to bone loss.

2. Maintaining natural teeth: Dental implants eliminate the need to modify adjacent teeth to replace missing teeth via a bridge.

The benefits of seeing Dr. Greg Nelson are in the conveniences of all your treatment being completed in one office by one doctor using new methods and technology along with comfortable sedation.

t the time of writing, it has been almost two weeks since Amarpreet Sivia, a 16-year-old honour student at Princess Margaret Secondary School in Surrey, was killed while crossing the southbound lanes of 128th street just north of 69A Avenue. It happened at 11:30 am on Wednesday, September 18th. Amarpreet and her two 17-year-old friends, Jaspreet Dhami and Shahana Samira Ali, had left the school grounds walking south on the east side sidewalk on 128th Street. After ‘jaywalking’ across the two northbound lanes, the three girls waited on the median presumably until they thought it was safe to cross the two southbound lanes. At the time of writing, the police investigation has determined that as a southbound vehicle in the far lane followed by a yellow Yamaha R-6 sport motorcycle approached or went by the girls, the motorcycle pulled out into the near lane just as or just after the girls had stepped into it. At that point, it would seem the collision was unavoidable.

Certainly, the force of the impact appears to have been almost full blown scattering the girls’ shoes, clothing, purses and jackets all over the roadway, demolishing the motorcycle, fatally injuring Amarpreet and seriously injuring both of her friends. The 20-year-old motorcyclist, a student at nearby Kwantlen College, was also seriously injured in the collision.

relatively small light vehicle could cause so much damage to so many people. It doesn’t seem possible that such a normal back-to-high-school activity as crossing the street to grab a pizza for lunch with your best buddies —“The kids do it all the time” was a common refrain—could devolve into such horrific tragedy. It doesn’t seem possible that two such quick miscalculations —safe to step into the lane—safe to drive into the same lane— could have been so precisely and fatefully coincident.

At the time of writing, the police, ICBC, lawyers, the various parties and their families, friends, teachers, school and municipal officials— all will be engaged in figuring out what happened and whether it could have been prevented.

First responders, the doctors and nurses who have already treated the injured, the physiotherapists and other health care professionals who will become involved all will do the same. That is, they will try to understand but also try to help the injured and their families move forward.

Despite its original derogatory connotation, jaywalking is a never advisable but common practice.

And increasingly that marked crosswalks are always safer is open to challenge. The article on the origin of the term jaywalking in the Today I Found Out website notes that “recent studies have shown that pedestrians … are about 28% less likely to be hurt while crossing a street if they jaywalk, rather than cross at a crosswalk that doesn’t include any additional signals like traffic lights. This is thought to be … because people who jaywalk tend to be more careful when crossing the road than those who are crossing in crosswalks.”

72% of structural fires begin in kitchen From Page 13 Cooking may bring families and friends together, but it is also the No. 1 cause of home fires and injuries.

Seventy-two per cent of structural fires begin in the kitchen. So learning to prevent them is in your best interest. “Frying is a common cooking practice and when you’re using grease you need to follow safety precautions,� explains Howell. “It’s better to use an appropriate appliance for deep frying.�

But a kitchen fire doesn’t always mean a grease fire, she stresses.

And they can start simply by leaving food unattended.

Further, Howell advises to keep your stove top clean, free of clutter, and well away from combustibles such as paper towels, dish

Fire prevention tips 2013Â Fire Prevention Week is all about preventing kitchen fires. Thirty-three percent of all fires in BC start in the kitchen.

In fact, more fires start in the kitchen than in any other room of the house. â&#x20AC;˘Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, broiling of boiling food. â&#x20AC;˘If you must leave the kitchen, even for a short time, turn off the stove. â&#x20AC;˘When you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, stay home and use a timer to remind yourself. â&#x20AC;˘If you have young children, use the stoveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back burners whenever possible.

Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the stove â&#x20AC;˘When you cook, wear clothing with tight-fitting sleeves. â&#x20AC;˘Keep potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper or plastic bags, towels or anything else that can burn away from your stovetop. â&#x20AC;˘Clean up food and grease from the burners, stovetops and the oven. â&#x20AC;˘Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t store combustibles in drawer below the oven.

Don Fennell photo Canadian Olympic Association president Marcel Aubut lauds Pacific region sport partners Friday at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

Olympic success begins here

by Don Fennell Sports Editor The success of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games spawned a new era in Canadian sport and a new belief in ourselves.

And just four months shy of the Games in Sochi, Russia, the president of the Canadian Olympic Association says the determination

to remain atop the podium is unmistakable.

Speaking at a community sports reception hosted by the Canadian Olympic Association last week at the Richmond Olympic Oval, Marcel Aubut said “What the Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Games did was change the country and (allow) Canadians to have the confidence to see themselves

differently.”

“It was Canada behind one project,” he said.

As the host of long track speed skating, Richmond was a major player in the success of those Games. And Aubut said the community, and the entire Pacific sport region should be proud of what it accomplished and is creating.

Olympian Marquardt thankful for support of hometown team From Page 17

The former president and chief executive officer of the Quebec Nordiques, Aubut said receptions such as Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are important because they engage the athletes and leaders working on their behalf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to soak up as much information and energy from every single community we visit,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to listen to the supporters of Canadian sport because we understand one simple equation: success at the international level starts right here. It starts at the local level.â&#x20AC;?

B.C. athletes made up an impressive 23.9 per cent of the Canadian Olympic Team that competed at the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London, England. And one of the most successful of all was Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Darcy Marquardt, a three-time Olympian who helped steer Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight to silver at the London Games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having grown up here and gone on to row at the University of Victoria, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen first-hand the special relationship this region has with its athletes,â&#x20AC;? said Marquardt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We support our sports teams and

sporting heroes with the same vigor and passion no matter what the sport or level. So whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won Olympic gold or won a hockey peewee tournament every athlete is (viewed as) important.â&#x20AC;?

Marquardt said gatherings like (last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) are critical to Canadian sporting success and shows that Canadian Olympic Commit-

tee and its sport partners truly get it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an athlete, I understand how much it takes to bring about success and that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a team behind the team, a dedicated group of supporters who promote and support our local athletes and help legitimize the work we do as athletes,â&#x20AC;? she said.

[defined by]: the desire to live in a place animated by people rather than things

HOWEVER YOU DEFINE COMMUNITY, WE CALL IT AN EASY WAY TO MEET AND CONNECT WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS. It’s just one of the many reasons residents love calling Morgan Crossing home. It could be at the chalk art festival on Main Street (see below!), or one of the many other events, like movie nights in the summer or resident parties. How about chatting with fellow dog owners at the Morgan Crossing Dog Park, or meeting during a class or workout at Steve Nash Sports Club. Or just hanging out at the coffee shops and restaurants, at a wine tasting at Everything Wine, or on a bench on Main Street. You’ll see and meet lots of the people who live and work at Morgan Crossing… and maybe even ask out your cute neighbour, Amy. Because loving where you live should be about more than just loving your stunning condo (though we only have a few left!).

Richmond man shares groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal of growing the sport

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Injury forced Igor Gantsevich to the sidelines earlier than he would have liked. But the former national fencing champion has taken up a new challenge promoting both his club and the sport.

The Richmond man and coach with Dynamo Fencing Club has been appointed a member of the executive committee of the Pan American Fencing Association of Fencing Clubs. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just back from the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural meeting in Guatemala and keen to carry out its mandate of developing more clubs and championships within the zone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal, while partnering with the international fencing body, is to grow the sport,â&#x20AC;? said Gantsevich. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see 50,000 kids in the Lower Mainland learn to fence and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach that.â&#x20AC;?

During a lunch break, after introducing fencing to a group of Delta students earlier in the morning, he said new school-

IGOR GANTSEVICH

based clubs would open throughout the region. One such club, at Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Worker, already has 20 full-time fencers.

Also the current athlete representative on the Canadian Fencing Federation board, Gantsevich said he is determined to make fencing as popular as hockey.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also continuing to work to raise the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s profile by attracting major international competitions to Richmond. Earlier this year, Dynamo Fencing

Club hosted the Vancouver Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Epee Grand Prix and Gantsevich proudly noted that because of its â&#x20AC;&#x153;exceptionalâ&#x20AC;? success the club has been awarded events in 2014, 2015 and 2016. The 2015 event will be a qualifier for the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also hoping to bring international club championships to the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main reason I can devote so much time to these projects now is because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m focusing on club development rather than training and travelling to competitions,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the next seven weeks Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably be introducing 3,000 kids to fencing.â&#x20AC;?

The growing popularity of fencing is forcing the Dynamo Fencing Club to expand, and Gantsevich said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already looking for a facility of at least 15,000 square feet.

Dynamo will host the Canadian national championships Dec. 6 to 8 at the Vancouver Convention Centre. That site was selected in place of the Richmond Olympic Oval which was unfortunately unavailable.

Stylish living at Woodbridge’s Salix in Surrey

By Kerry Vital

The Clayton Heights neighbourhood is one of Surrey’s most popular areas for families and first-time buyers alike, with its easy access to amenities, shopping, dining and recreation. Now Woodbridge Homes is offering beautiful homes at a great value with its condominium development Salix.

“Sales have been going very well here,” says sales manager Rob Carlsen. “We’re in the final stage of sales now, with a good

variety of homes left.”

The remaining plans are mostly two-bedroom and den plans, ranging from 850 to 1,000 square feet.

The five-storey Georgian-inspired building features a red brick exterior, lush landscaping and classic iron work, and every home includes a patio or balcony. Oversized windows let natural light pour in while the nine-foot ceilings (10 feet on the top and bottom floors) add an incredible sense of space to your new home. Most units feature beautiful views, so you may have

some trouble tearing yourself away from spending all your free time outside taking in the scenery, including Mount Baker.

“The location has been working really well for us,” Carlsen says. “You’re in a small, quiet building that really stands above the crowd.”

Homes start at $219,900. For more information, visit www. salixliving.com, call 604-530-0054 or visit the presentation centre at 6477 196th Street, Surrey, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Submitted photos

Polygon’s Canyon Springs is built in a West Coast style, and features spacious floorplans with gorgeous features such as rich laminate flooring, stainless-steel appliances and engineered stone countertops.

Natural beauty abounds at Canyon Springs

By Kerry Vital

The Lower Mainland is famous for its outdoor lifestyle and variety of recreational activities. Most residents think of the North Shore when they want to get outside. Now, Polygon is bringing outdoor living and gorgeous homes together with Canyon Springs, its new collection of apartment residences in North Vancouver.

“There are no other comparable new communities in Lynn Valley,” says sales manager Laura Cavanagh. “It’s been popular with local buyers especially since we are currently offering buyers a special financing

package.” Available until Oct. 14 only, Polygon is offering five-year, 2.95 per cent financing as part of their pre-construction sales program.

“This is a great opportunity to secure a home before we close our doors on Oct. 14,” says Cavanagh.

The curb appeal is readily apparent at Canyon Springs, with its contemporary West Coast architecture that fits perfectly with the surrounding natural beauty of the neighbourhood.

The one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment residences are spacious and inviting, ranging from about 630 to 1,100 square feet.

“These are really efficient floorplans,” Cavanagh says. “There’s no wasted space at all.”

Elegant laminate flooring throughout (with plush carpeting in the bedrooms) sets a modern tone for your new space, complemented by the nine-foot ceilings in the living and dining rooms. Buyers can choose between two colour schemes, Dark and

White.

The kitchens are particularly beautiful, with stainless-steel appliances and premium rift-cut, flat-panel cabinetry in oak or glossy white. The cabinets are complemented by engineered stone countertops, a handset tile backsplash and contemporary halogen track and under-cabinet lighting.

The bathrooms are relaxing and luxurious, with imported porcelain tile flooring, flatpanel laminate cabinetry and a modern tub with a ceramic tile tub and shower surround.

Your morning routine will be easy with the modern vanity mirror and lighting.

The ensuite also includes engineered stone countertops and Grohe polished chrome tub and shower faucets that lend a touch of elegance to the space.

The outdoors is all around you at Canyon Springs, and residents will easily be able to take advantage of this on their large deck or patio. Most ground-level homes will even have a private yard.

Homeowners at Canyon Springs will have

access to a fully equipped fitness studio overlooking an outdoor terrace, an on-site resident manager, a dog wash station and bike cleaning area and a spacious lounge with a fireplace. The landmark corner will also showcase a dramatic water feature and cast bronze art piece designed by local artist Marie Khouri.

Venturing off the property, you’ll find shopping, dining and schools all nearby, as well as the North Shore mountains and easy transit or car access to downtown Vancouver and the rest of the Lower Mainland. The close-knit community of Lynn Valley is like very few others in Metro Vancouver, where everyone from shoppers to yogis and freeriders to dog walkers enjoys an ideal balance between wild spaces and urban convenience.

Homes start at $359,900. For more information on the homes or the special financing package, visit www.polyhomes.com, call 604-973-0298 or drop by the presentation centre at 2517 Mountain Highway, open daily except Fridays between noon and 6 p.m.

lost 2-1 to Central City Kaos in Division 2B; and in Division 3D Richmond Sonics outscored Delta United 4-1 and Hodder Tugs lost 2-0 to Ladner United.

“We finally had the lead but could not keep it,” said Chaos coach Al Groff. “Perhaps we relaxed or maybe the wind dropped enough

to give Coastal the chances they needed to even and then win the match. But we are getting closer.”

However, Chaos may have to do without Sarah Little for a while after she came out the worst challenging for a 50/50 ball. Groff is hoping it is only a sprain. Midfielder Alexis Ford did a commendable job in relief.

Wildcats have company in cross-country races The landscape is changing in the Richmond high school cross country scene. And at the halfway point of the 2013 season, defending champion R.A. McMath Wildcats are getting a message from several of their colleagues: your days of across-the-board dominance may be ending.

While the Wildcats again scratched out first-place honours in each of the four divisions at the second race of

64 AVENUE

the season held recently at McMath, Richmond Christian Eagles stepped forward to place second in both the junior and senior boys’ divisions.

And returning after a twoyear absence, a young Hugh McRoberts Strikers squad also put in a good showing with several high placings, while battling the larger teams from Richmond High, StevestonLondon, MacNeill and Cambie for top-10 finishes.

The Wildcats continue to rely on the strength of their girls’ teams to forget an overall lead.

Great depth at the Grade 10 level coupled with consistent performances from the returning athletes and several Grade 8s has seen McMath continue to dominate.

The series will conclude with upcoming races at MacNeill and Cambie, followed by the Richmond championships on Oct. 16.

Richmond Hospital Foundation's sixth annual Community Cares Day received a downpour of community support on Saturday. A record $380,000 was raised by the ChineseCanadian community in the annual fundraiser. “We are truly grateful for the record support from the entire community for our Community Cares Day,” said Paul Oei, vice chair of Richmond Hospital Foundation. “We continue to expand the reach of our event every year to raise awareness and much needed funds, and we surpassed all of our goals thanks to the outstanding contributions this year from volunteers and donors.” Community Cares Day featured an exclusive two-hour national primetime special on Fairchild TV, segments on Talentvision TV, all-day radio broadcasts on Fairchild Radio (AM1470 & FM96.1) and CHMB AM1320, as well as partnerships with numerous Chinese print publications and The Richmond Review. Richmond Hospital Foundation volunteers hosted prominent supporter booths at Richmond Hospital, four local shopping malls and braved the weather, enthusiastically waving signs at various outdoor locations to raise awareness. Chad Pederson and Jeffrey Chiu, co-chairs for the event, spearheaded this important initiative with more than 100 volunteers participating in this year’s Community Cares Day.

Kudos is a weekly feature showcasing announcements, achievements and good deeds happening around town.

E-mail submissions to news@richmond review.com Kerri-Jo Stewart photo Steveston photographer Kerri-Jo Stewart’s photo ‘Out of Blue’ has earned her a gold medal in the Vancouver International Photography Festival. Awards will be handed out at VanDusen Botanical Garden on Saturday. Stewart captured the photo in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan during 2011 celebrations marking the 20th anniversary of the central Asia country. “Everything was so perfectly choreographed during the event that it made for excellent photographs,” said Stewart. “Here the girls in blue represent the ocean and its waves on the Turkmen shore, contrasting with the group of brown costumes representing the desert.”
