Rising RCMP costs a big concern for Richmond

by Jeff Nagel Black Press The rising costs of RCMP service remain a big issue for Metro cities.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said his city is still considering pulling out of the RCMP and launching its own municipal force since a controversial new 20-year RCMP contract kicked in with higher officer costs. Richmond would contract with a neighouring city for specialized services, such as murder investigations.

“Our assumption has been that there was so much opposition to a regional model that it probably wasn’t going to happen,” he said. “Whether that now changes, we have to wait and see.”

Brodie said one “huge issue” is the costs cities are being expected to pay to cover the newly opened $1-billion RCMP ‘E’ Division headquarters at Green Timbers in Surrey.

RCMP-policed cities have been told to budget $1,200 for each officer in their detachment, he said, and $20,000 for every local officer who serves on an integrated team. Brodie said it adds up to a sudden jump of several hundred thousand dollars in annual RCMP costs for larger cities.

The mayors also want to know why they have to pay anything for the new base in Surrey when Ottawa apparently isn’t yet moving to sell off the old ‘E’ Division headquarters on Heather Street in Vancouver.

“The federal government decides that they need a huge massive new building in Surrey, which we didn’t ask for,” Brodie said. “We take the position we’re not paying for the capital costs.”

Policing review spurs fresh talk of regional force

Median selling price top $1.05 million

Some Metro cities still eyeing split from Mounties

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

by Jeff Nagel Black Press A new review of policing in B.C. ordered by the province may prod Metro Vancouver’s patchwork of police forces to work together in new ways but observers don’t expect a switch to a full regional police force.

A regional force was one of the top recommendations handed down nearly a year ago by the Missing Women Inquiry, which probed how serial killer Robert Pickton eluded capture for so long.

Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the multiphase review by government will look at new service delivery models.

“Any change, whether it is regional delivery of specialized policing functions or further integration, has to meet the needs of both communities and taxpayers, and our goal is to retain and support community-based policing,” Anton said in a statement.

She said the review will also draw up funding options to finance police costs after work to better define the responsibilities of various levels of government.

Several mayors, including Delta’s Lois Jackson, remain firmly against region-

al policing on the grounds they may lose community policing control and the ability to deliver no-calltoo-small service to their residents.

The two-year review is to be done by the ministry in close consultation with local cities and with some assistance from the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police.

SFU criminologist Rob Gordon said it doesn’t look independent enough to come up with the right solution, even if it’s one that upsets some cities and police forces.

“It’s going to be a selfserving apology for the

“It’s going to be a self-serving apology for the status quo.”

— Rob Gordon status quo,” Gordon predicted. “Police chiefs and mayors all have a great deal at stake. It could very well be a waste of time and money.”

Gordon said a separate study is expected to report back soon on the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), which is one of the regional integrated police teams that doesn’t

have full municipal cooperation.

Vancouver, Delta, Port Moody and West Vancouver all run their own homicide squads rather than participate in IHIT, out of concerns over both costs and control. Richmond is served by the RCMP. Gordon said he fears the IHIT report will result in more “bandaiding” of the existing structure, instead of taking a needed step back to look at how to redesign the entire “totally inefficient” policing system in Metro Vancouver as well as Greater Victoria.

According to a provincial report, there has been

improved co-operation between police forces over the years through greater use of integrated police teams and several police-related reforms are being taken in response to Justice Wally Oppal’s inquiry.

Those include audits to ensure bias-free policing, the development of a Real Time Intelligence Centre that can better analyze crime data around the clock, and a separate review of how vulnerable witnesses are handled.

Most of Oppal’s 65 recommendations haven’t led to provincial action, or are counted as still in progress.

The median selling price of a single detached house in Richmond topped $1.05 million in October, according to the latest figures from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver.

120 houses changed hands last month at a median price of $1.058 million, up from the 79 houses that sold for a median price of $1.038 million in October of 2012. Month over month, the median selling price jumped more than 11 per cent, though the number of sales was down 5.6 per cent.

Condo sales jumped 8.1 per cent compared to September, with the median price rising 1.7 per cent. But compared to a year ago, condo sales were up 55 per cent.

Meanwhile, townhouse sales in October inched up 4.3 per cent compared to September, though prices fell three per cent.

Regionally, home buyer and seller activity mirrored historical averages, according to the board.

“We continue to see fairly typical activity when it comes to monthly home sale and listing totals,” said Sandra Wyant, board president. “Today’s activity is helping to keep us in balanced market territory, which means that prices tend to experience minimal fluctuation.

The Multiple Listing Service home price index for the Greater Vancouver area is $600,700, a drop of 0.5 per cent compared to a year ago.

As far as listings go, the total number of properties for sale in Greater Vancouver fell 12.2 per cent in October compared to a year earlier, to 15,257, a drop of 5.3 per cent compared to September of 2013.

October’s sales for the region were 2.8 per cent above the 10-year sales averages for the month, while new listings for the month were 1.9 per cent below those 10-year averages.

Expanded election program offers little return Council asked to boost election budget in face of bleak voter turnout rates

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter City council threw cold water on a request this week to boost the 2014 civic election budget by 37 per cent to improve voter turnout.

Richmond City Hall spent $508,000 organizing the 2011 municipal election—an equivalent to $16.32 for every vote. On Monday, the city’s chief electoral officer proposed a $698,000 budget to

mount the next election and further encourage residents to cast ballots.

For the last campaign, Richmond introduced the most significant changes in nearly two decades, but voter turnout increased just marginally, up 1.6 per cent. That has left councillors leery of spending more cash on luring voters.

“The return on our investment seems to be really lacking in this venture,” said Coun. Derek Dang.

“I just don’t see us spending more money to get a one per cent return on it.”

A council committee Monday voted 6-2 to send the file back to the desk of David Weber, the director of the city clerk’s office and the city’s chief electoral officer come election time. Council wants further study on

the benefits of voting initiatives introduced in 2011, including its “vote anywhere” scheme that allowed voters to cast ballots at any voting place—something 41 per cent of residents did.

Voting locations were also opened in unusual places, such as shopping malls. More advanced voting opportunities were introduced, and candidate profiles were also included in a guide mailed to voters.

The proposed boost to the election budget will maintain such initiatives and add five to 10 voting places in a growing city that hasn’t seen an appreciable increase in polls in 20 years.

But councillors weren’t convinced spending more money would boost the city’s weak voter turnout of just one in five voters. Coun. Evelina

“The return on our investment seems to be really lacking in this venture.”

— Derek Dang Halsey-Brandt said the cost of the “vote anywhere” program hasn’t translated into votes.

“We’ve done everything we possibly can to give people the opportunity to vote. You know what, if people don’t care and aren’t interested, there is nothing we can do to force them to come out to the poll,” she said, adding the solution lies in teaching civic responsibility at an early age and offering better civic education to

new immigrants.

Some councillors also said they’d like mall voting gone. Stations were set up at local malls for the 2011 election, but Coun. Harold Steves said they exclusively captured voters of “one race.”

Richmond’s voter turnout reached a low of 22.1 per cent in 2008, when just 27,709 residents voted. In 2011, 31,126 cast ballots, resulting in a voter turnout of 23.7 per cent.

One election initiative B.C. cities haven’t yet tapped into is Internet voting. Provincial law doesn’t allow it, but a panel is studying the issue and is expected to table a report in the B.C. legislature early next year. The panel has already said there isn’t enough time to implement online voting for local government elections next fall.

refreshments and more.

Diwali is a five-day festival and is India’s biggest and most important holiday of the year. The festival gets its name from the row (avali) of clay lamps (or deepa) that Indians light outside their homes to symbolize the inner light that protects us from spiritual darkness. This festival is as important to people who practice Hinduism as the Christmas holiday is to those who practice Christianity.

ers—nine, 12 and 14 storeys—and a common five-storey podium. Included in the project is a 110-room hotel.

The proposal comes from Hotel Versante Ltd., which is seeking to rezone a 0.7-hectare (1.6-acre) triangular site at 8451 Bridgeport Rd. to build it. City council’s planning committee considered the project this week, 14 years after council approved a previous rezoning application that’s now being abandoned.

The site is located in Bridgeport Village, near the Airport Connector Bridge and next to Duck Island, where a multiphase development of retail, entertainment, office, hotel and conference uses is in the early planning stages.

In a report, planners Sara Badyal and Terry Crowe describe the International Trade Centre as one that matches the city’s Official Community Plan objectives.

“The proposed highrise project, office development, pedestrianoriented streetscapes, River Road extension, West Road widening, and Bridgeport Road pedestrian and intersection improvements will assist in making Bridgeport Village a transit-oriented, urban community.”

If council approves, the application would be subject to a public hearing.

Multi-million dollar ponzi scheme linked to Richmond property Court orders that proceeds from any sale of property be placed in trust pending further rulings

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Details of a fraudulent investment scheme known as a Ponzi scheme with links to a Richmond property are detailed in a B.C. Supreme Court ruling released late last month.

Boale, Wood and Company, acting as the trustee in bankruptcy of Rashida Samji, sought to freeze certain assets for the benefit of the creditors seeking the recovery of monies paid to the defendants from the scheme.

The defendants include Mumtaz Zulfikar Chatur, the estate of Zulfikar Nazarali Chatur, the Aga Khan Foundation Canada, Zam Properties Inc., Farid Kanji, Jane Doe #1, also known as K. Dhanani, and John Doe Recipient Group.

According to the B.C. Supreme Court ruling, Samji promoted a fraudulent scheme in which returns were paid to investors from their own money or the money paid into the scheme by subsequent investors, rather than from a legitimate business.

Rather than depositing the investors’ money into her trust account, as agreed, she dispersed the monies without the investors’ knowledge or consent.

Many investors lost some or all of their money in the $83 million scheme.

Samji and her companies—Rashida Samji Notary Corporation, and Samji & Assoc. Holdings Inc.—were assigned into bankruptcy in December of 2012.

In July of last year, Zulfikar Chatur filed a notice of

claim against Samji and her companies. Chatur died in November of 2012.

The trustee filed the action last June, alleging that Mumtaz and Zulfikar Chatur were net winners in the scheme.

The court ruling indicates the Chatur defendants, including Navshin Chatur, Zulfikar’s son and the executor of the estate, placed about $4 million into the scheme.

Meanwhile, the Chatur defendants directed Samji and her companies to make payments to them and other defendants in the amount of $12 million or more.

The trustee claims that the Chatur defendants knew at the time funds were being paid out to the defendants, that the scheme was fraudulent, that Samji and her companies were not pursuing a legitimate business purpose, and that the money was coming from other investors. “The plaintiff alleges that the deceased made actual or implied threats against Ms. Samji that induced her to make payments from the scheme to or on behalf of the Chatur defendants. As well, the plaintiff alleges funds from the scheme that were paid to the Chatur defendants can be traced to the properties against which it has filed (certificates of pending litigation).�

One of the those properties is located on River Road in Richmond, where the sum of $1,023,400 was paid to a third party in consideration of renovations or other improvements at the direction of the Chatur defendants, the court ruling states.

Justice Laura B. Gerow cancelled the certificate of pending litigation against the River Road property, on the condition that the defendants not further encumber the property, and that net proceeds from any sale of the property be placed in trust pending further court orders, or agreement between the properties.

EDITORIAL: Will you remember them?

O

n Monday when people honour our fallen soldiers of wars long past and those serving in uniform now, Canadians will need to start thinking about the future of Remembrance Day and how it will remain connected to new generations.

Memories and stories of the First World War now entirely reside in photos, films and text. Those with living memories of D-Day or hunting U-boats on the Atlantic or fighting on the Korean Peninsula become fewer every year.

There will be a future not far off when students in Richmond won’t be able to hear first hand from veterans of the Second World War

and the Korean War why they fought for the freedoms of others.

More recently, Canadians fought and died in the mountains and badlands of Afghanistan, trying nobly, but perhaps futilely, to bring peace and security to a nation with more entrenched problems than can be solved by military action.

Although that conflict certainly won’t be far from the memories of the veterans and families of that conflict, Afghanistan is also fading as a significant era for many Canadians.

Understanding our past and linking it in meaningful ways to the messages and meaning of Remembrance Day remains a challenge for our society. It will require parents and grandparents to teach their kids their family stories

and personal connections with past conflicts to drive home what sacrifice really means.

Canada, to varying degrees, is ambivalent about its military and wartime history. Remembrance Day isn’t a statutory holiday in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and Nova Scotia. Our southern neighbour offers two official days of the year to celebrate its veterans and to remember past conflicts.

The frontline face of Remembrance Day in Richmond are dedicated volunteers, a group also aging and with few new people willing to take up the cause.

For Remembrance Day to survive, the values of sacrifice, service and courage of the past need to be rekindled for the future.

—Black Press

Veterans paid the ultimate price so you could save on shopping?

Guest Shot Jeff Nagel

I

take a somewhat dim view of crossborder shopping at the best of times.

But Remembrance Day puts me over the top.

You can pretty much guarantee that on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, B.C. shoppers will be lined up at the border in an immense, idling column, waiting to advance deep into U.S. territory to invade the malls of Bellingham.

The R-Day landings will once again see battalions of Canadians head south to triumphantly capture retail products for a few dollars cheaper than at home.

Never mind that they had to burn extra fuel to do it, and in some cases subject themselves to iris scans

by U.S. authorities for a quicker crossing.

Really, people.

Is this your idea of why Canadian soldiers died on distant battlefields?

They fought to protect your freedoms and the one you choose to exercise – on this of all days – is your freedom to leave Canada for a few hours to pour money into a foreign country, supporting foreign

The Remembrance Day ceremony at Richmond City Hall.

businesses, jobs, taxes and services?

It makes me wish the old WW2 warbirds that perform fly-bys at local Remembrance Day ceremonies would take a detour over to the Peace Arch and buzz the southbound lineup after the minute of silence.

Not for a strafing run but rather a shaming run, ideally with a plane sarcastically towing a ‘Thank You For Your Support’ banner.

Heck, I’d love to see Royal Canadian Legion members mount a ground counteroffensive and go from car to car in the lineup soliciting contributions for the Poppy Fund from these patriots.

Can’t afford that? How tragic. Enjoy your retail conquest. Perhaps you’d like to renounce your

Canadian Medicare at the same time?

If you’ve marked me as a sucker who stupidly pays too much when bargains can be had, you’re right.

I do like to shop Canadian.

I like to shop local, too, even when I know it costs more.

My White Rock neighbourhood has a rich diversity of shops, services and restaurants I can walk to from my home. That’s something I value and choose to support because I want those local merchants to still be in business the next time I want to buy groceries without getting in the car.

On Remembrance Day, we also have a scarce commodity we take for granted: the first-hand human knowledge of

wars past.

Canada lost its last veteran of the First World War in 2010.

The number of surviving Second World War vets still healthy enough to speak publicly about the events

of 70 years ago is rapidly dwindling. Their average age is 89 and the average age of Korean War vets is 81.

Spare them all a thought – as well as Canada’s younger veterans and former peacekeepers who bear their own scars from service – if you find yourself handing over your credit card at a U.S. big box store on Monday.

And consider that you might instead be watching what may be the last ceremony at your local cenotaph with live WW2 vets.

Alas, we’re at no risk of running out of veterans of the Battle For Bellis Fair.

letters ‘We can do better’ on the Walmart proposal Editor: Much has been said recently about the plans for the Walmart development in West Cambie, and I find I keep thinking the same four words, “We can do better.”

Richmond has changed a lot over the last five years, some would argue for the worse, but I would say most has been positive. We’ve welcomed the Canada Line, supported a burgeoning restaurant scene, began to densify the City Centre and, most recently, built the Railway Greenway which is transforming recreation for families in West Richmond.

These are things that make people proud to live here and I would argue our city is more vibrant than ever before. We are beginning to identify ourselves as residents of our own city, rather than merely another suburb of Vancouver.

This is why the proposed Walmart development just doesn’t feel right.

We can do better than this. The development turns its back on the street and the Garden City Lands.

It is far too large for the neighbourhood it’s part of, so clearly meant for those coming from other places.

Just last year our mayor and council did us proud by telling the airport that their planned outlet mall, far away from public transit, wasn’t good enough for our city. So, why is this?

It will be made for larger chain stores, not the small businesses that dominate much of our core. It’s an entirely suburban design for an increasingly urban city. It’s part of Richmond’s past, not its future.

It also assumes we all drive or want to drive when signs show younger generations would rather not. One councillor recently stated, “The reality is that people drive to get their groceries.” But is it good enough to say that anymore? What about seniors who no longer feel comfortable behind the wheel?

What about children who want to ride their bikes to the local grocer?

What about our fellow residents who are not physically able to drive? And let’s not forget those of us who can’t afford to buy a vehicle, let alone the costs of insurance, gas, and maintenance. Yes, cars are dominant, but we should be asking ourselves, “Are we OK with a city designed to make us dependent on the car?”

Just last year our mayor and council did us proud by telling the airport that their planned outlet mall, far away from public transit, wasn’t good enough for our city. So, why is this?

We need to start thinking big. We need to build a city around transit and inspiring design. We need to send a message to our younger residents that Richmond is a place you can be proud of living in. It’s a place where you can get an education, start a business, and grow a family. Richmond is a city we should all take pride in. It’s not just a suburb anymore. At the public hearing on Nov. 18, we should all be saying, “This is Richmond, and this development isn’t good enough.”

Whipped votes are an abomination Editor: The Canadian Senate was created to do at least three things: provide representation for the provinces to counter the central Canadian population majority, create a check on unfettered Commons’ power, and be a source of independent thought on public policy (“sober second thought”).

Most importantly, Senators were to represent their provinces, not the partisan elected parties.

Senators were not intended to be political shills or simple extensions of the Commons politics.

But that can only work if both the prime minister, in appointing senators, respects the intent of the Constitution and such Senators act to represent their provinces.

Sadly, it doesn’t work any more.

Successive Prime Ministers have appointed partisan loyalist, often with little real connection to their home

provinces. But it gets worse. “Whipped votes” (where the party leadership “orders”, directly or implicitly, the vote choices) in the Senate are an obscenity. Compliant senators must believe that their duty lies first to the party, violating the Constitutional intent.

Any senators who allow their votes to be whipped have either prostituted their intellect and integrity to perks and power or are nothing more than sniveling sycophants, with their lips firmly attached to the posterior of the party boss. There can be no other conclusion.

Short of a Constitutional amendment (impossible), there is an “easy” solution. The prime minister could agree to only appoint senators who have been selected by the provinces (by whatever means they chose). Such senators would then properly owe their loyalties to those provinces. This could work!

Better Grades Happier Kids

Greenway extension is user unfriendly Editor: I went for a walk the other day to check out the extension of the Railway Avenue Greenway path from Moncton Street through to the Heritage Village on the Steveston waterfront.

This is supposed to be a user-friendly path for (according to the City of Richmond website) cyclists,roller bladers, skateboarders etc. I imagine it would also include,though not mentioned—people who use wheelchairs, toddlers on trikes, kids on two-wheeled trainers, mothers pushing baby carriages, elderly folks who use walkers or canes and people who have to use crutches, etc.

The surface of the paths,

one of which goes past the taxpayer-owned community gardens and the other which goes through the Homma schoolyard is large aggregate gravel—actually it’s more like rocks, some of which are as big as golf balls, only with jagged edges and completely user-unfriendly to everyone except pedestrians wearing sturdy footwear.

There aren’t even any access ramps cut in the sidewalk to accommodate anything on wheels.

I spoke with one lady on a mobility scooter who told me she’s had two tire punctures while riding on the path and was chastised by a city employee for riding her scooter on the grass, something she fully intends to keep on

doing.

I measured the width of the path that goes through the Homma schoolyard—it’s approximately 10 feet wide. The usable area for the path that goes past the community gardens is 20 feet wide from the raised beds to the ditch on the other side, more than enough room to accommodate a smaller blacktop path which could be laid far enough away from the vegetable beds to address the contamination concerns of the community gardeners. Why is a 10 foot wide path

A show of respect Editor: I wanted to commend Richmond Centre mall for having the decency to change its opening hours on Monday, Nov. 11, Remembrance Day, to 11:05 a.m.

It may not seem like a huge gesture but to allow the proper minute of silence to remember all those who gave their lives shows respect. It is the least anyone of us can do for the freedom we enjoy today.

Once you have a handle on the above, you can narrow your choice. It is important you like the looks of the second most expensive purchase of your life. However, make sure it serves its intended purpose by answering some questions. Typically, how many people do you need to transport and how far? Is there enough stowage space in the cabin and the trunk or luggage compartment? Do you need V8 power or will an economical four-cylinder suffice?

Five fun and sporty cars at the right price

By Alexandra Straub

A vehicle doesn’t have to be exorbitantly expensive, have mega horsepower or a fancy Italian badge on it to be fun to drive. In fact, a lot of people seem to agree with that statement too since there are a few pocket rockets available on the market that might not compete for the top power specs, but can certainly get the party started.

Ford Fiesta ST $24,499 If its exterior colour, say the one clad in Green Envy, doesn’t catch your eye, perhaps its exhaust note will. When you rev 1.6L, 4-cylinder, turbocharged, EcoBoost engine of the Fiesta ST, you’ll probably turn your head. Yes, it’s a subcompact but it doesn’t feel like it when you’re working through the gears of the 6-speed manual transmission. Ford’s newest mini powerhouse comes with a whopping 197 horsepower and 202 lb-ft of torque. It’s the same engine paired with the Focus ST, but in a smaller packaged.

Its sport infused suspension, gearbox, phenomenal handling and host of creature comforts sound good to you, it’s even better to drive. You just might make your friends green with envy because you’re having so much fun behind the wheel.

Mazda3 Sport - starts at $15,995 For the 2014 model year, Mazda completely overhauls their number-one selling sedan and hatchback: the 3. Expect more mature (but not dated) styling, a driver-focussed cabin and a host of technological gadgetry that makes staying “connected” behind the wheel more user friendly.

Of course, without trying to take away focus from the act of driving. Among its tweaked features, you’ll find brand new interior and exterior styling along with the implementation of their high compression ratio engines, better known as SKYACTIV. Two engines and transmissions are offered.

There’s the 2.0L, 4-cylinder

SKYACTIV engine with a 6-speed manual transmission or an available 6-speed automatic transmissionavailable on either the base GX or mid-grade GS models. It produces 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque.

Then there’s a 2.5L, 4-cylinder SKYACTIV engine for the GT trim, which only comes with a 6-speed automatic. It generates a healthy 184 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. Either is a treat to drive with excellent urban or extra urban characteristics.

2014 Fiat 500L starts at $19,995 For Fiat fans, if the 500 was too small, here’s your answer: the 500L. The longer wheelbase cutie is more practical than the pint-sized version and has more room.

And two more doors!

Powering it is a 1.4L, 4-cylinder, MultiAir turbo engine that pumps out 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque.

Since it’s a bigger car, it feels bigger to drive. But visibility isn’t compromised and there are a couple of great gearboxes to choose from: a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed Euro Twin Clutch automatic transmission.

Toyota Corolla starts at $15,995 No, you’re not reading that wrong. I did include the 2014 Toyota Corolla on my list. Yes, it’s like automotive bread and butter; you always know you’re getting and it’s very predictable.

But with a complete overhaul for 2014, you could say the Japanese manufacturer has added some jam on top to make it sweeter.

New styling on the inside and out makes it more desirable to the eyes. It’s still not as exciting as most of its competitors but the 1.8L, 4-cyinder does a bang up job of delivering 132 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. The cabin is quiet and I’ll hand it Toyota for matching it with a CVT transmission that is just fabulous.

Kia Soul - starts at $16,995 Kia’s box-mobile continues to deliver strong sales despite angularly-shaped vehicles becoming a trend of the past. Why? Because it has personality. Describing it in one word, I’d say it’s funky. And now, the all-new soul is built on a

bigger platform, increasing legroom up front and in the rear. It’s also quieter on the road when revving its 1.6L, 4-cylinder engine. There’s also a 2.0L 4-cylinder available with 164 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. alexandra.straub@ drivewaybc.ca

Remembrance Day

Korean War stopped spread of communism Veteran believes world’s landscape wouldn’t be same without military actions

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

K

orean War veteran Bob Orrick has never read Orson Scott Card’s sci-fi novel Ender’s Game where precocious military strategist Ender Wiggin unwittingly saves the human race from an overwhelming invading alien horde.

Like Ender, Orrick was a young man on a military vessel that fired destructive weapons, raining death on a distant unseen enemy, not always sure what had been struck, but determined to do his part to take out the hostiles.

Much like the fictional Ender, Orrick firmly believes that without the sacrifices he and the thousands of other Canadians made in the United Nations-led effort between 1950 and 1953, the world’s landscape would be vastly different today.

“The reality is that the Korean War stopped the spread of communism in the Far East,” the long-time former Richmond resident said from his Ladner home. “It had a tremendous impact on world history.”

As is regularly the case when Remembrance Day approaches, Orrick was invited to speak this week to students about the sacrifices that were made during the Korean War. It’s something he’s been doing for years, having given presentations at many Lower Mainland high schools including Hugh McRoberts, Richmond High, and the original Steveston Secondary where the late Bob Carkner invited him to speak.

“I see Nov. 11 as a time when we have to have, ought to have,

Martin van den Hemel photo Bob Orrick, a veteran of the Korean War, has given many presentations over the years to Richmond students at Hugh McRoberts, Richmond High and the original Steveston Secondary, around Remembrance Day.

respect for what people, military, both men and women, and civilians, to respect what they have done,” he said, adding that his mind often drifts at this time of year to his buddies who have long since passed away, including Sam Urquart, a Richmond resident who served as a sniper in Korea, and then after the war worked for the Vancouver Police Department.

Orrick, who recently turned 80, served with the Royal Canadian Navy from 1952 to 1953 and was part of his vessel’s communications team.

He was young and idealistic, and knew that communism was bad, he said.

His ship’s role was to ensure the

enemy couldn’t be resupplied, and to stop communist fishermen from planting floating mines, and his job entailed decoding and relaying encrypted messages sent via radio or flashing lights.

Many of those messages dealt with complex fleet maneuvers, and Orrick’s task was vital in repositioning the many varied sized ships, a role much like a choreographer fills in a dance troupe.

Orrick believes students aren’t taught enough in schools about Canada’s military history, and said teachers play a critical role in this.

“Anybody can read a book and memorize dates and times and places,” he said. “But unless you can make this alive, and help people hear and see” the lesson

will quickly fade.

He said Canada’s military doesn’t get the credit it deserves.

“We just don’t seem to understand in this country...because we sent people abroad, we didn’t have war on our shores...We don’t teach in schools the benefit of having a strong military,” said Orrick, who authored Indelible Memories: Canadian sailors in Korea, A Retrospective Look at the Korean War, which was published in 2010.

Orrick said you need to have peacekeepers in order to maintain peace.

And we have democracy today thanks to the ultimate sacrifices of thousands of Canadian soldiers, he said.

“We just don’t seem to understand in this country...because we sent people abroad, we didn’t have war on our shores...

We don’t teach in schools the benefit of having a strong military.”

Remembrance Day is marked at the cenotaph each year on Nov. 11 at 11 a.m.—the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. But in churches, temples, parishes and other religious institutions, many worshippers guided by faith will do the same.

At Richmond Chinese Baptist Church, worshippers will acknowledge Remembrance Day in prayer and with thankfulness recognizing “that so many do not have the freedom to gather and worship as we do,� said Sanders Mah, pastor at Richmond Chinese Baptist Church, who also noted the second Sunday of November is International Day of Prayer for

and said the church understands the value and sacrifice of lives given so that life can be liberated. “We also honour what our men and women fought—and so many died—for: a nation free from oppression, with citizens possessing rights and freedoms in order to personally and collectively grow and contribute towards a better world.�

Mennonites will also mark the day when many don plastic poppies to recognize the contribution veterans have made and to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of Canada.

Nick Toews, intern pastor at Richmond Bethel Church MB, said it’s not enough to simply remember those who sacrificed their lives for freedom and peace, “we must also carry the responsibility to work for peace and freedom in our world.� “As Mennonites we place a great emphasis on growing peace through non-violent means and constructive activities rather than destructive ones,� said Toews, whose church is located on No. 5 Road, Richmond’s so-called Highway to Heaven. “That being said we also recognize and appreciate those who fight for peace and pray that a time will come where they will no longer have to do that job.�

Many other religious groups commemorate the service of Canada’s veterans and the significance of the day is not lost on worshippers at Sikh temples. Sikhs have a long military tradition: over 65,000 Sikh soldiers fought in the First World War as part of the British army, and over 300,000 Sikhs fought against German and Japanese forces in the Second World War.

Choirs unite in song for Remembrance Day Richmond Youth Honour Choir among those performing in annual evening concert

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

R

emembrance Day will be marked by song this weekend with choirs bringing to life music of peace.

At Richmond’s Remembrance Day ceremony at city hall, choirs will perform to help commemorate the sacrifices that Canadians have made.

Official ceremonies at the city hall cenotaph begin at 10:40 a.m. Nov. 11.

Once the ceremonies are complete, the public is invited to a Remembrance Day reception in the city hall’s galleria.

The R.C. Palmer Vocal Jazz Ensemble and the Essonance Chamber Choir are both set to perform at city hall.

Essonance is a local community choir founded

by Livia Gho in 2008. It features a diverse group

of young adults with a passion for music.

Led by artistic director and conductor Ann Chen, a piano graduate from University of B.C.’s School of Music, the choir aims to spread the joys of singing and performing contemporary compositions.

Later in the evening, at 7 p.m., singers will again gather for Richmond’s annual Voices in Peace concert.

Held at Fraserview Mennonite Church, 11295 Mellis Dr., the free concert is open to anyone who wants to mark Remembrance Day. The Richmond Youth Honour Choir is among the participating choirs. Refreshments will be available following the two-hour concert, and gifts will be available for purchase at a fair trade booth.

teveston-London Secondary plans to hold a pair of Rembrance Day ceremonies Friday morning, highlighted by the appearance of a local reservist who will give a short speech on his role in the Canadian Armed Forces.

The school’s arts and music departments are also heavily involved in organizing the 45-minute ceremonies, which are attended by all students as well as invited veterans and guests from the community.

“The intent is to reinforce to kids this is not a holiday and the importance of recognizing and honoring all those who have served,” said principal Jim Allison. “Many Canadian teens are completely disengaged. The kids are respectful, but many may not even have a living relative (who served) and as more veterans pass on it’s becoming more difficult to connect.”

Hugh Boyd Secondary is also planning two assemblies recognizing Remembrance Day on Friday. Principal Neil Kamide explained that the assemblies are organized by a committee of drama students. Students have organized assemblies for the last several years.

“It’s important to make sure we respect the purpose of Remembrance Day,” Kamide said. “I’ve been to some that have loosely taken the theme, so it’s important to be on point.”

Last year, a former Hugh Boyd student who served in Afghanistan, returned to the school to share his experiences and the impact war has had on him. Since he is not much older than many of the students, his message was one that resonated with them, Kamide said.

“For many students, Remembrance Day is what you learn in social studies but for others coming from around the world, they know first-hand

what war really looks like and Remembrance Day is a significantly different experience for them,” Kamide said.

Remembrance Day ceremonies are also held at Richmond elementary schools, including Gilmore.

“It’s a really lovely ceremony with children’s contributions of poetry and song,” said principal Laurel Crosby. “Then after a video show, the Grade 6 and 7 students hold a candle lighting ceremony. It’s something they look forward to every year because it’s become a tradition.”

Crosby isn’t so sure the elementary students don’t relate just as much to the significance of Remembrance Day as their peers in the secondary schools. While fewer children have grandparents who served than in previous generations, Crosby said teachers do a fantastic job to help the understand why Remembrance Day is recognized.

“It’s interesting because I teach Kindergarten kids and they were drawing some pictures today,” Crosby said. “And when they were asked what does the poppy mean, the kids could come up with some really fantastic answers.”

Dixon Elementary School’s English-as-a-Second Language students shared with their peers stories about how war has impacted their native countries and how they “remember” in their culture. They also learned the importance of words and concepts new to them such as as poppy, wreath, solider, veteran, memorial, silence and peace.

Lee Hunter’s Grade 4/5 class have been learning about the importance of Remembrance Day by reading the famous First World War poem “In Flanders Fields” using a picture book with illustrations that represent the meaning of each line author John McRae wrote.

“Through this read aloud, students develop a stronger sense of the message McRae was trying to convey in his poem,” said Hunter.

Hunter’s students also viewed a video called “Remembering Peace” after which they created puzzle pieces representing their view of peace.

District assistant superintendent Wendy Lim says the Remembrance Day ceremonies are another way for the students to demonstrate “a deep understanding of the need to go forward in a peaceful way.”

“All our school ceremonies are designed and implemented by the students, and adults come to the assemblies because they find them very worthwhile and moving. There is always a multisensory connection,” she said.

Richmond remembers war heroes on Remembrance Day Richmond City Hall is the site of a commemorative ceremony Nov. 11

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

T

he cenotaph at Richmond City Hall will be the site of ceremony recognizing the contribution Canada’s veterans have made, and to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

All are invited to observe the Remembrance Day ceremony next Monday, Nov. 11 at the cenotaph, located on the east side of the hall that faces No. 3 Road.

“Over the decades, thousands of brave and heroic men and women have left families and friends at home to serve our country,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie in a news release.

“On this special day, I urge everyone to take a moment of silence and pay tribute to those who represent Canada during times of war, conflict and peace.”

A military parade will start marching from Minoru Park toward the cenotaph at 10:20 a.m. The parade includes the Royal Canadian Legion, Canadian Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans Association members,

The Richmond Cenotaph is the location for Remembrance Day ceremonies on Monday.

representation from public safety agencies and cadet organizations, a colour party and veterans.

Official ceremonies will begin at 10:40 a.m. Two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. will be followed by the laying of wreaths.

This year, for the first time, the service will be simulcast in council chambers. All are welcome, but space is limited. City spokesperson Ted Townsend said the intent is to give people who may not be able to stand outside for the entire service a comfortable place to sit while still experiencing the

ceremony.

A trio of camera stations will record the ceremony, from the marchers’ arrival to the cenotaph to the end of the ceremony. Townsend said a mix of staff, community youth and professional videographers are making it all possible.

After the ceremonies conclude, the parade will march off and a reception will begin in city hall’s galleria.

“We certainly encourage people to stick around afterwards for the reception,” said Townsend. “There’s going to be some informative displays, music and even some goodies for people to enjoy.

“It’s going to be a good expansion of the ceremony in terms of the importance of the day and what it’s all about.”

The free event will feature music from the R.C. Palmer Vocal Jazz Ensemble and Essonance Chamber Choir. Coffee and snacks will be provided by Outpost Mini Donut Co., Diplomat Bakery and Broadmoor Bakery. Remembrance Day displays will also be featured at the event—displays assembled by the City of Richmond Archives, Friends of the Richmond Archives and Richmond Public Library.

Portions of No. 3 Road near city hall will be closed for approximately two-and-a-half hours to accommodate the event. Minimal temporary traffic disruptions along Granville Avenue and Minoru Boulevard are expected during the postceremony parade.

Annual herring sale to aid children with cancer Fishermen Helping Kids with Cancer is holding its third annual charity herring sale on Saturday, Nov. 30 between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. (or until sold out!) at the south end of Trites Road in Steveston (12740 Trites Road).

The sale is open to the public with 100 per cent of the proceeds going to BC Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital to help kids with cancer.

Last year, all herring was sold out by noon so double the amount of herring will be available for sale in Steveston this year.

Brent Melan, the Burnaby fisherman who came up with the idea for the event and captains the seiner that catches the herring, explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, we are planning to harvest more herring from the nearby waters of the Gulf of Georgia to meet the growing demand and enthusiastic support for this great cause. We will deliver this wonderfully fresh and delicious fish to the dock for sale at $10 for a 20lb bag of herring or customers can bring their own five gallon bucket. There will be live music, free recipes and friendly

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When someone buys a bag of herring for $10, every penny goes to help kids with cancer.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sue McKamey

volunteers to help customers bring the herring to their cars.â&#x20AC;?

Melan adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an industry, we are so pleased to announce that in the past two years, our herring sales and donations have raised over $135,000 to help kids who are receiving treatment for cancer at BC Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital. We are especially proud that the industry has come together with support from local sponsors to host this event with all services and supplies donated. Ladner fisherman Randy Reifel is, once again, donating the seiner, the MV Prosperity along with the fuel and fishing licence.

The Steveston Seafood Auction is also again donating the fish processing plant and crew. These big event costs, along with every other cost,

is donated by persons and companies connected to the BC fishing industry.â&#x20AC;?

Sue McKamey, a salmon gillnetter from Mission who volunteers, says â&#x20AC;&#x153;When someone buys a bag of herring for $10, every penny goes to help kids with cancer. Customers get 20 pounds of wild fresh BC herring and they are also helping kids with cancer in their fight for life.â&#x20AC;?

The spark for the herring sale three years ago was the inspirational daughter of a commercial fisherman who died of cancer a few days before the first event.

Herring are fish with bluish green backs and shiny silver sides and bellies. Their soft, off-white flesh and high oil content tastes great and is perfect to eat fresh or can, pickle, or smoke. Less than 20 per cent of the Pacific herring biomass is harvested annually.

For those who wish to support the cause but arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to make it to the sale, contributions can be make directly to the BC Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital Foundation at www.bcchf.ca/ FHKWC.

The newly-restored Seine Net Loft at Britannia Shipyards. After a $1,192,000 restoration—funded by the city and a $250,000 federal contribution—the building becomes the city’s newest publicly accessible and programmable community space. The Seine Net Loft is a significant part of historic Steveston’s “Cannery Row,’ which included 15 canneries stretched along the Steveston waterfront between today’s Garry Point Park and London Heritage Farm. This massive building overhangs the Fraser River’s inter-tidal marshland on wooden pilings and, in conjunction with the buildings around it, contributes to the historical appearance of the once continuous row of impressive cannery structures. This site is an important example of an evolved cultural landscape shaped through the fishing and boatbuilding industry. Clues of former fish net storage fixings can be found inside the building, adding to the interpretational and educational value of the structure. This building also forms a cluster together with the Japanese Duplex and the First Nation’s Bunkhouse connected by the historic boardwalk, illustrating the socio-cultural depth of this unique heritage ensemble.

Christmas Craft Fair set for Nov. 30 The Steveston Community Society’s annual Christmas Craft Fair is Saturday, Nov. 30 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Net Shed building at the Steveston Community Centre (4111 Moncton St.).

This event features over 150 tables of juried crafters, showcasing a wide variety of home crafted items ranging from jewellery to woodwork, baking and canning, paper and photography, and much more.

The BC Plan for the Safest Roads in North America

THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca

Cedric Hughes

A

Barrister & Solicitor

year ago, Road Rules described Canada’s road safety plan to 2015 as inviting “all the various jurisdictions with their respective responsibilities for highway safety … to develop their own plans … for ensuring that road fatalities and serious injuries continue … to trend downwards.” Recently, in August 2013, British Columbia responded with its own Road Safety Strategy for 2015 and Beyond at http://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/osmv/shareddocs/ RoadSafetyStrategy.pdf.

British Columbia’s ‘strategy’ begins by expressly acknowledging that “BC road safety partners” have taken on this challenge by strategizing “in alignment with Canada’s Road Safety Strategy 2015.” It then introduces BC’s ‘vision’—the safest roads in North America with the “ultimate goal of zero traffic fatalities and serious injuries”—by stating that continued collaborative effort on the part of all BC road safety ‘partners’—basically all of us— will be the key to achieving this goal.

BC’s plan outlines four guiding principles, states the need to measure success and progress using specific targets, and outlines general approaches to make working collaboratively as effective as possible— standard ‘mission statement’ preliminaries, but essential and laudable.

While the bulk of BC’s road safety strategy is devoted to future efforts for achieving its vision, the assessment of where we are at today highlights significant accomplishments: • Since 2000, the fleet of all insured vehicles has increased by 26%. While both regular passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles continue

to increase at a constant rate, commercial trailers, utility trailers and motorcycles are increasing at an even higher rate. Despite more vehicles, however, motor vehicle fatalities have decreased substantially from 364 in 2010 to 291 in 2011. Likewise, injuries requiring overnight hospitalization have decreased from over 32,600 in 2010 to less than 2,400 in 2011, and the final numbers for 2012 are expected to continue to trend downward.

BC’s traffic fatality rate reached its lowest point at 6.4 per 100,000 population in 2011, and the 2012 preliminary estimates are even lower.

Also to be considered are resistant problems including: • The Southern Interior, despite its relatively low population, has the highest number of fatalities in the province.

• The number of pedestrians and cyclists killed or seriously injured on our roads has remained steady.

• In 2011, BC’s best-ever fatality rate of 6.4 per 100,000 population was still double that of the safest nations in the world, the Netherlands and Sweden, both at 3.3.

According to the most recent numbers for all North American jurisdictions, Ontario and Massachusetts are the safest jurisdictions with fatality rates in the 4 to 5 range.

The Demographics are noteworthy: • The average age of road crash victims is increasing. Victims aged 46-75 increased proportionally from 31% in 2002 to 38% in 2011, while younger victims (aged 16-45) decreased from 54% in 2002 to 44% in 2011.

Senior victims (over 75) also increased proportionally from 9% in 2002 to 13% in 2011.

• “Young seniors” (aged 65-74) are projected to increase by just over 200,000 (up 58%) in the next decade, which compares to a projected increase in the overall BC population of about 12% in the same time period. …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

Richmond Public Library has a permanent new guest.

Wu Chang, a terracot-

ta warrior sculpted and named by artist Tiana Kaczor, now lives in front of the Brighouse

branch of the libary, thanks to a donation by sisters Julie Williams and Susan Lomness.

They donated the artwork in the memory of their parents Yvette and Walter Beswick, who were longtime library users, according to library spokesperson Shelley Civkin.

“It’s particularly fitting that the sculpture be situated outside the library so that the whole community can enjoy this remarkable piece of art,” Civkin said.

Wu Chang was previously on display outside the library and cultural centree as part of the Easter Seals Terracotta Warrior Public Art Project last year.

“We really appreciate this unique donation and it serves as a reminder of the connection between books and art,” Civkin said.

The Terracotta Army is a collection of lifesize sculptures—8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses— made of terracotta, buried in a 22-squaremile area alongside the first emperor of China in 210 B.C. to protect him in his afterlife. The figures were found in 1974 by a group of peasants digging a well in northwest China, according to Smithsonianmag.com For more on the terracotta army, visit tinyurl. com/TerracottaWu —Martin van den Hemel

Time for some super soups

Book Club Shelley Civkin

A

s the rain pounds down, the wind howls and the days get shorter, nothing screams out winter quite like soups and stews. It’s seasonal comfort food on par with ice cream in the lazy days of summer.

To me, the heartier the soup, the better. Give me a thick hamburger soup with barley, or a pumpkin pear soup with ginger and curry and I’m happy. But there

are always new soups to try and when you run out of ideas, the library has loads of cookbooks devoted just to soups.

Take The Soup Sisters Cookbook edited by Sharon Hapton for instance. This fully illustrated book contains a raft of traditional soup recipes alongside some unusual ones, like the Dutch Meatball soup, and the Lapsang Tea, Lemon and Miso soup. If wasabi paste, rice wine vinegar, miso paste and diced soft tofu float your boat then this recipe might appeal to you. I prefer the more mainstream soups like Comforting Clam Chowder; Mushroom, Bean and Barley; My Big, Fat Italian Wedding soup; and Hungarian Beef Goulash.

Each recipe has easy to follow instructions and easy to find ingredients, which is more than I can say for some other cookbooks.

Soup Glorious Soup

by Annie Bell serves up unusual recipes like A Chowder Pie, which has a flakey puff pastry

crust on top and looks absolutely yummy. In addition to the necessary fish (in this case smoked haddock), it also contains things like baby leeks, broccoli, sugar snap peas, and bacon. The Bourride, a classic Mediterranean fish stew, contain some different ingredients like orange zest and fennel, and looks hearty yet fresh. One of the more offbeat recipes is Spinach and Beef Stew with Olives and Pickled Lemon. I have no idea where you buy pickled lemons, but it doesn’t look like it’s an essential ingredient.

Soupesoup by Caroline Dumas is an interesting compilation of soups, salads, sandwiches and desserts. Some of the soup recipes are a bit baffling, like the Lemon Detox Minestrone which contains very few classic Minestrone ingredients like pasta, beans, onions, rice or spinach. The Black Bean Peanut Mole Soup has Mexican overtones and calls for cilantro, cocoa powder, peanut butter and tomatoes

and while it sounds a bit bizarre, it looks good.

The Chicken Tagine Soup definitely hails from the Middle East with its apricots, currants, and saffron. Again, all these recipes have super easy directions and appealing photos to entice the reader.

When it comes to my fave—chicken soup (or Jewish penicillin as it’s known)—recipes vary from the sublime to the ridiculous. I suppose there are those that like thick, creamy chicken soup that calls for rice and milk, but I’m a purist. I prefer a traditional chicken soup like my mother used to make. In Let My People Eat by Zell Schulman, you’ll find the gold standard of chicken soups. Just remember to always leave the skin on the onion to get that golden coloured stock.

Shelley Civkin is with Richmond Public Library.

N

ina Huang is on a mission to raise $22,500 to make her dream come true.

A graduate of Charles E. London Secondary (now Steveston-London Secondary), Huang has turned to Kickstarter to find donors willing to help publish My Apollo—a picture book about a boy and a rescue greyhound dog.

Her online crowdfunding campaign began mid-October, and as of this week, Huang was close to meeting her target to bring her first book to life.

“It’s been so amazing, I’m so grateful,” said the 29-year-old in a telephone interview from her home in Portland, Ore., adding the book’s theme of pets giving back to their owners is resonating with people.

“A lot of times they have some of life’s best lessons for us,” she said

Apollo. The ex-racing greyhound found a new home with Huang while she was working toward a doctorate at Harvard University.

Huang was studying social sciences—a field she reluctantly chose over art—when depression and anxiety hit her “like a brick in the face.”

As she was preparing to write her dissertation, Huang sought help and recognized the need for a life change. She left school to pursue her painting passion.

“During the time that (Apollo) was going through his rehabilitation, I was going through my depression and struggle with leaving Harvard. Apollo helped me out a lot. He really inspired me to look at the unknown with fresh eyes,” she said.

Huang began painting custom animal portraits before turning her attention to creating My Apollo, a book about a small boy named Briar and his dog Apollo and how they helped each other

heal and regain trust.

Briar is from a newly single-father family, struggling in school and suffering from social anxiety. Apollo meanwhile, is recovering from a life of running races for gamblers and is overcome with a deep distrust for humans. But the two are united— and rescue each other.

The book is a marriage of passions for the Taiwan-born Huang, whose knack for storytelling and painting is captured throughout My Apollo’s 40 pages.

It’s an obvious departure from the academic papers she was once known for.

“I really wanted to write something that was for people—everyday people,” she said.

“Writing a children’s book has been a dream of mine for a long time.”

Huang will independently publish 2,000 hardcover copies of the book, which donors of at least $25 US will receive.

Choosing crowdfunding to publish her book was an easy choice. She watched her husband engage with contributors in his successful Kickstarter campaign, and she was tired of “gatekeepers and institutions.”

Having a direct relationship with people who are purchasing your creation is much more exciting than leaving it in the hands of a publisher, she said.

“Whatever gets the book into the hands of people who will love it is the path that’s the best one for me,” she said.

Said Huang: “The message of this book, in essence, is a message of hope. That no matter what card life has dealt us a positive transformation is right around the corner.”

Referendum on TransLink taxes overshadows conference

by Jeff Nagel Black Press Speaker after speaker at a regional transportation conference last Thursday called for a massive expansion of transit in Metro Vancouver and urged the province to provide the leadership to ensure it happens.

The Oct. 31 Moving The Future conference in Vancouver drew 500 academics, engineers, economists, politicians and others.

Presenters warned traffic jams will throttle the economy unless a solution to congestion is found and outlined many advantages of transit investment, from more affordable housing to a healthier population.

Urban Futures demographer Andrew Ramlo noted the Lower Mainland’s population, from Squamish to Chilliwack, is set to grow 56 per cent to 4.3 million by 2046.

If the region doesn’t build more transit and make better use of the infrastructure it already has, he said, it faces a “gridlocked” future.

High real estate prices already deter people and businesses from locating in the Vancouver area, delegates heard, and a failed transportation system will render the region less competitive and livable.

“If we design our cities around cars what do we get? More cars,” said Gil Peñalosa, a keynote speaker and advocate for healthy cities. “It’s like trying to put out a fire using gasoline.”

The conference came against the backdrop of a looming referendum on transit investment that Metro Vancouver mayors fear may fail and run the expansion agenda off the rails for years.

Vancouver’s Gregor Robertson said defeat would be “disastrous.”

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said better transit is the only way to get more single-occupant vehicles off the road.

A show of hands in the

room revealed the vast majority don’t think the referendum will pass.

“If anyone thinks a referendum is winnable, I’m amazed,” SFU City Program Director Gordon Price said, adding the province’s decision to force the vote on the region reflects a “crisis of leadership.”

The question has not yet been decided by the province, but others in the room saw the gathering as a chance to build an alliance of leaders to campaign in support of the expected vote to raise billions in taxes to build new transit lines.

The problem, many delegates admitted privately, is that the academics, business leaders, planners and other elites present don’t hold a majority of the vote.

And they concede they face broad public opposition to more taxes of any kind – be it a possible regional sales tax, a vehicle levy or the more distant prospect of comprehensive road tolling.

It doesn’t help, some say, that the debate is inaccurately cast as a struggle between two tribes – transit users versus motorists who supposedly won’t benefit from new rapid transit lines but may end up footing a disproportionate share of the bill.

“To me, it would be tragic if it’s a ‘No’ vote,” said Michael Goldberg, a conference presenter and dean emeritus at UBC’s Sauder School of Business.

“I think it’s terribly unfortunate that we’re having a referendum.”

Goldberg said opposition voices, amplified by the media, recite a simple but short-sighted nonew-taxes mantra and unfairly attack TransLink without acknowledging that transit is a public good that’s crucial to making the region more competitive.

“I hope we can marshall the forces to inform the general public why this is good for them.”

Bob Wilds, general manager of the Greater Vancouver Gateway Council, was one of the business leaders in the audience who is outspoken about the dangers of road congestion and a likely ally.

For breaking news www.richmondreview.com Jeff Nagel photo Former TransLink CEO Tom Prendergast, who took over New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority in time to face disaster in the form of Hurricane Sandy, was one of the presenters at the Moving The Future transportation conference Oct. 31 in Vancouver.

Ex-TransLink CEO still hopeful for solution Former TransLink CEO Tom Prendergast says he’s not surprised TransLink is no closer to solving its financial challenges that it was when he left four years ago.

But nor does he think the region is doomed to remain forever mired in political paralysis about how to pay for transit upgrades that most leaders consider essential.

The former boss of Metro Vancouver’s transit system left in 2009 to take charge of New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority, but returned last week as a speaker at the Moving The Future transportation conference.

Prendergast said it’s not unusual for it to take two or three tries to find the right path in such a challenging public policy debate.

He was cautious not to give an opinion on the merits of holding a referendum, adding he has no experience with one, but said he believes the region’s mayors can be influential champions of the ‘Yes’ side.

“The 23 mayors got it – they understood the importance of the transportation network to the region,” he said, referring to the united political front that has remained relatively intact in seeking an ambitious transit expansion.

“If you had the majority of mayors saying that they’re for this, I think people get it. I think if you had unanimity it would be exceptionally strong.”

spent to ‘talk’ about aboriginal kids

The B.C. government has spent 10 years and $66 million on meetings and consultants to discuss aboriginal “governance” of children in protective care, while actual services such as domestic violence safe houses remain inadequate to meet the need.

That conclusion emerges from a new report from B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth, Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, who calls it a “confused, unstable and bizarre area of public policy” where millions continue to be spent without accountability.

“For example,” Turpel-Lafond wrote, “nearly $35 million was spent discussing regional aboriginal authorities, including large expenditures on paying people to meet, hiring consultants to facilitate those meetings, and producing materials

of questionable practical value following such meetings that almost never addressed the actual difficulties children and youth were experiencing in their lives – issues such as parental addiction, domestic violence, poverty, neglect and the need for mental health services or special needs support.”

Stephanie Cadieux, B.C.’s Minister of Children and Family Development, said Wednesday she accepts the findings of the report, and agrees that the ministry “strayed from its mandate to provide direct services.”

A new deputy minister appointed two years ago has worked to redirect ministry spending to services for those in need, Cadieux said. She acknowledged that another $8 million is being spent this fiscal year on impractical “nation to nation” talks before consulting contracts expire.

NDP children and families critic Carole James said she supports the concept of delegating child welfare

F R I DAY N OVEMBER 1 5 T H 6 : 0 0 P M BC ALL-STARS 8 : 0 0 P M H U M A N NAT U R E O P E N I N G RECEP TION

to aboriginal communities where it’s practical to do so. But she said it’s “appalling”that millions are spent on high-level meetings while there is an eight-month waiting list for youth mental health services.

The B.C. Liberal government has a track record of this, going back to former premier Gordon Campbell, who recruited a South African expert as deputy minister to impose a new aboriginal child care system, she said.

“They put out a big idea or a slogan, say they’re going to move it, and then have no plan to implement it properly, with resources, with clear outcomes,” James said. “The tragedy with this one is it’s aboriginal children who are suffering.”

Cadieux said it isn’t fair to conclude all the money was wasted. The ministry has better relationships with aboriginal communities, and still provides direct services across the province, she said.

From Page 33 “There would be a real problem if there isn’t a successful referendum,” said Wilds, whose group represents shippers, port terminals and goods movers.

He declined to say if he opposes the premier’s decision to order the plebiscite.

“We are where we’re at. It’s been announced. We just have to figure out a way to deal with it and be successful at it.”

Blair Qualey, president and CEO of the New Car Dealers’ Association of B.C., was another attendee whose presence raised some eyebrows.

“Public transit is an integral part of the overall transportation system,” he said in an interview later, adding it’s important for the whole province that solutions be found.

Qualey wouldn’t say what funding source the car dealers’ group would support, but added spending on roads and bridges is also needed.

“How it’s paid for, I guess, becomes the big question,” Qualey said. “We’re a bit concerned that the costs of financing more public transit may be put on the backs of working people. We are supporters of user pay to the extent that it needs to be fair and equitable. It’s a tough discussion.”

Understanding millennials From Page 33 Prendergast told the conference the biggest recent shift in thinking in transit circles is understanding the changing demographics of transit and transportation.

“We’ve got people who are millennials right now who don’t own a car and they don’t want to own a car,” he said.

Those younger people are using transit on a much more daily basis, he said, not just for the commute. The takeaway, Prendergast said, is to plan not based on current patterns of transit and road use, but what’s likely 10 or 15 years from now.

Don Fennell photo Connaught skaters Claudia Tang, Amanda Feltham and Bianca Duca all got their start in the Richmond club’s grassroots program. The Pre-Novice ladies skaters are among 30 members of the club competing in this week’s BC-Yukon Sectionals through Sunday at Minoru Arenas, each hoping the qualify for the Skate Canada challenge Dec. 4 to 8 in Regina.

Skaters at home on the ice Connaught athletes honed their love for the sport at the grassroots

by Don Fennell Sports Editor

A

midst the angst that comes with competing at the BC-Yukon Sectionals, Amanda Feltham takes a moment to reflect on what she enjoys most about skating.

“I really enjoy the feeling of just skating to the music.

It’s not stressful, and you can just go out and perform. It’s where I can just be myself,” she says.

Feltham, 13, is one of 30 members of the host Connaught Skating Club participating in this week’s regional championships (through Sunday at Richmond’s Minoru Arenas), all of them hoping to qualify for the Skate Canada Challenge Dec. 4 to 8 in Regina. But while Feltham says realizing that goal would be “awesome,” next year is more realistic since she is only just returning to competition this week after suffering a back injury a few months ago.

“It’s slowly starting to get better,” she explains. “My goal is just to go out and do the elements and things I know how to do. Then after

sectionals my goal is to start working on (completing) the double axel again. I was landing quite a few before my injury, but then I couldn’t work on them.”

Last year’s sectionals were a highlight for Feltham, who overcame a so-so short program to finish strong.

“I was beyond stressed because there was so much pressure, but I ended up pulling it off and having a clean long program,” she says.

However, her fondest memory—among many— is landing her first axel. It seemed to take forever, she says, but when she finally succeeded it was accompanied by euphoria.

Feltham’s first introduction to skating was as a tot at the popular public skating sessions. Then one day, when she was five years old, her mom told her she had plans after school which turned out be her first Canskate lesson at Connaught.

“I had so much fun, even though I was freezing cold halfway into it,” she laughs.

“But after only a few weeks I went on to Junior Academy and skated there for about two weeks before getting told by a coach that I should be in the Bronze level. When

I got moved up I was so happy, so I wanted to keep skating and go far with it.”

Though Feltham spends a considerable amount of time at the rink, she has many friends outside of skating. Some think it’s crazy how dedicated she is, but others can relate because they’re also involved in other sports or activities—such as dance—that have similar demands. And she doesn’t have to look far for motivation, naming Connaught teammate LarkynAustman (the 2013 Canadian junior ladies’ champion) as her favourite elite skater.

“She is a huge role model and a beautiful skater,” says Feltham, who aside from skating is also passionate about art.

“I love doodling,” she says.

Claudia Tang was five years old when she joined Connaught’s learn-to-skate program. She liked the feeling of gliding across the ice. Later, she successfully auditioned for Junior Academy. Today, she particularly enjoys jumping and skating fast “because its makes me feel free.”

While Tang has established many friendships through skating, she also maintains several outside of the sport.

She says most in the latter

“I really enjoy the feeling of just skating to the music. It’s not stressful, and you can just out and perform. It’s where I can just be myself.”

– Amanda Feltham

group think it’s “neat” to be good at a sport.

And as her teammate Feltham recovers from an injured back, Tang can relate. A couple of years ago she won BC Coast Regionals after breaking her foot the previous summer. But her fondest memory was attending last year’s BC Winter Games in Vernon.

“We got to skate in an outdoor rink, stay in a school overnight, and watch different winter sports,” she explains.

Now with her focus squarely on this week’s sectionals, Tang says her goals are to land a clean double axel and place in the top four to qualify for nationals. And she’d like to start landing her triple jumps.

When she isn’t skating, Tang is probably studying.

She likes to learn different languages and the 13 year old is already fluent in Spanish, Russian and French and

hopes to tackle Greek next.

And if that’s not enough, she also plays the piano and participates in track and field and basketball.

Perhaps not surprisingly, Tang’s favourite skater is another overachiever—Patrick Chan, who has won the last three men’s world championships but earlier showed a promise as a downhill skier and proficiency in taekwondo, tennis and golf.

Like Feltham, Bianca Duca made her skating debut at the popular public skating sessions. Two years later, at the age of eight, she became a member of the Connaught Skating Club and joined the competitive stream.

“I love skating because’s fun. I probably enjoy jumping and performing the most,” she says. “But the least enjoyable is falling and the injuries that I get. Losing your jumps and technique when you’re growing (is no fun either).”

Duca, 13, says her nonskating friends think she’s crazy for skating so much.

Some even suggest it’s not difficult or that she should just quit, but she ignores them.

“Trust me, figure skating is definitely hard,” says Duca, who is determined get her double axel and triple salchow consistent by the end of this season.

“My goal is to make it to the top four in my level at Sectionals so I can qualify for Challenge next year and beat my personal best,” she adds.

Duca takes inspiration from her favorite skater, American Ashley Wagner who won the 2012 Four Continents title and earlier this year became the U.S. ladies champion.

“She was always the almost-girl but didn’t let that stop her from pushing on and eventually succeeding,” says Duca, who away from the rink relaxes by playing the guitar, drawing and hanging out with friends.

All three Connaught skaters are in the Pre-Novice Division. After taking to the ice for the short program Thursday, the trio are scheduled to complete their long programs Friday starting at 11:35 a.m.

Willoughby Town Centre already thriving in Langley

Willoughby Town Centre celebrated its grand opening on Sept. 21, but the neighbourhood has been extremely popular with Langley residents for much longer than that.

Loblawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Your Independent Grocer, Noma Sushi, Town Centre Liquor, Sassy Nails and several other stores are already

operating, while other businesses will soon open up shop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is very much a growing community,â&#x20AC;? says Hugh Carter, vice-president of community and commercial development for Qualico, one of the driving forces behind Willoughby Town Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are not only major tenants, but also a good collection of independents as well.â&#x20AC;?

Eventually there will be a variety of shops and services available, including a building devoted mainly to medical and dental offices, as well as a pharmacy, yoga studio and a variety of boutiques.

Willoughby Town Centre will also include a residential

component. The first phase is Kensington, a 65-unit apartment building. Other projects are planned for the future.

Willoughby Town Centre joins South Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Morgan Crossing and West Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park Royal as â&#x20AC;&#x153;lifestyle centresâ&#x20AC;? with residential and commercial space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe in these walkable communities,â&#x20AC;? Carter says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a broader appeal here that I think is unique in the marketplace.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole idea is to be pedestrian-friendly,â&#x20AC;? says Diane Zarola, sales and marketing manager for Qualico. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want it to be a gathering place.â&#x20AC;?

John Johnson, owner of Town Centre Liquor, is very happy with his decision to open up shop in Willoughby Town Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real country setting with a downtown flavour,â&#x20AC;? he says, adding that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy that the store can be in the neighbourhood from the beginning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This area is growing so quickly.

sports Bea backstops ’Birds to back-to-back-to-back titles

Lim ‘retires’ with all-star award

by Don Fennell

by Don Fennell Sports Editor It was a bittersweet end to a soccer career for Taryn Lim last weekend in Victoria.

The Richmond woman concluded her university soccer career by scoring in her final game, as the University of B.C. fullback converted her team’s lone penalty kick in a 1-0 loss to Uni-

versity of Victoria Vikes in the thirdfourth place game Saturday at the Canadian final four championships.

On Friday, Lim also stepped up to head home UBC’s only goal that forced overtime in a 2-1 loss to University of Alberta Pandas.

A day earlier, Lim was honoured as as a member of the Canada West First Team AllStars.

Sports Editor

Taryn Lim (left) received a certificate recognizing her first team all-star status this season in Canada West soccer.

Chock up another one for Bea Francisco and the University of B.C. Thunderbirds.

With Richmond’s Francisco providing stellar goalkeeping, the ‘Birds secured a record third straight Canadian university women’s field hockey championship Saturday by defeating University of Victoria Vikes 4-1 in the championship match in Victoria.

Bea Francisco’s stellar goalkeeping helped to lift UBC Thunderbirds to a third-straight field hockey title.

Richmondites poised to lead Falcons to hoops glory The Richmond connection continues to expand where one of Canada’s top collegiate men’s basketball teams is concerned.

Langara College Falcons, who finished third at the national championship a year ago, will again be led this season by local point guard Brody Greig who was an All-Canadian in 2012-13. Pacwest all-star

Elliot Mason, another guard from Richmond, and newcomer Jamie Madewan from R.C. Palmer Griffins are two other local high school grads whose contributions should be pronounced this season.

“We came very close to our ultimate goal of winning it all last year and I think coming up short has made us even hungrier this

year,” said Paul Eberhardt, who also coached Palmer secondary’s senior boys’ basketball team last season.

“The Pacwest proved last year that we are the best conference in the country. With the defending national champions in Vancouver Island University and Quest hosting nationals this year, as well as other squads showing great im-

provement, I expect the league to be extremely competitive this year.”

Eberhardt gushes about Greig’s potential.

“Brody Greig is such a fun player to watch play and his basketball IQ is as high as any player I have ever coached,” he said.

“And Mason is a pure shooter and with his improved ability to

get to the hoop he will probably be amongst the league leaders in scoring. I am excited to see how our rookies will do this year with Madewan a big scorer in high school.”

The Falcons were third at last year’s nationals under Eberhardt’s guidance, after posting a 20-1 regular-season record.

Cat scatch fever returns to McMath Wildcat boys enter soccer provincials undefeated

by Don Fennell Sports Editor The offseason was a long one for the R.A. McMath Wildcats, after the Vancouver College Fighting Irish scored a shotout victory in last year’s Lower Mainland high school senior AAA boys’ soccer regionals to prevent the ‘Cats from advancing to the provincial championships.

Now, the ‘Cats are back, more determined than ever to secure the B.C. title they’ve come agonizingly close to securing in each of the past few seasons. Their

determination is buoyed by the fact that 10 players from last year’s team are now Grade 12s.

McMath won the Richmond league championship with a record of eight wins with no losses or ties. The last game against perennial rival Matthew McNair Marlins was for the title, with the Wildcats only needing a draw to clinch the league but they won convincingly 3-0.

Both teams advanced to the Lower Mainland playdowns as first and second seeds from Richmond.

McMath won its quarter- final match 3-0 over Vancouver’s Kitsilano Blue Demons (all goals coming in the second half by Liam Robinson, Luke Sewell and Miguel Keough) and then outlasted St. George’s Saints 1-0 in an exciting semifinal. Fraser Kirkland scored a great firsthalf goal on a long bouncing

through ball from midfielder George Almeida. The ball found striker Kirkland who deftly lobbed it over the rushing goalkeeper. The ball was heading for the net, but just to make sure Kirkland followed it and headed it home.

St. George’s applied considerable pressure in the second half but McMath’s defence held its ground.

The final for the Lower Mainland championship meant a trip to Vancouver’s Camosun Park in Vancouver where the Wildcats square off against Vancouver’s No. 1 seed Lord Byng Grey Ghosts.

Playing on a bumpy grass field was something different for the Richmond boys (who play most of their soccer on turf fields). After an even first half, Lord Byng came out strong in the second and outchanced the Wildcats but the game remained score-

less. Overtime produced some exciting moments with both goaliles making several good stops, but still failed to settle the score.

Finally in the penalty shootout, McMath prevailed by outscoring Lord Byng 5-4.

Goalie Jason Roberts making a good stop to help win it for the Richmond squad.

Scoring from the spot for McMath were Kourino Hazebrouck , Theo Lorenz , George Almeida, Fraser Kirkland and Bobby Bertram.

“It was not pretty at times, but the Steveston boys ground it out and should now have a high seed in the provincials (Nov. 21 to 23 at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West,” said McMath head coach Mike Quinn.

In 11 matches thus far, the Wildcats have scored 39 goals and conceded only four.

“We have a good all-around

R.A. McMath Wildcats will pursue their provincial championship hopes Nov. 21 to 23 in Burnaby.

skillful team, but our main strength is our defence,” Quinn said. “Goalie Jason Roberts has been outstanding behind a strong back line led by captain Theo Lorenz, Bobby Bertram, Glen Kirkland, and Conner McFayden backed up with defensive

midfielders Andy Ng and Kourino Hazebrouck.”

The remaining members of the squad are Jorge Esquiavel, Itai Goldfarb, Ryan Kamimura, Miguel Keough, Lachlan Macaulay, John Murray, Liam Robinson, Luke Sewell and Trevor Shackles.

Dragons slay AC Richmond in senior soccer circuit Final 8 decided in League Cup play

by Don Fennell Sports Editor The quarter-finals in the Richmond Adult Soccer Association’s annual League Cup tournament are set— and the Pacific Dragons will be included.

The Dragons, new to the league this season and winners of just one of their first seven matches in the First Division, upset AC Richmond (5-1-1 in Premier Divison play) in the

conclusion of second round League Cup action Wednesday night at Hugh Boyd Park.

The Dragons slayed AC Richmond 3-2.

“This is a greaet achievement for Pacific Dragons,” said league president Steve Valenzuela.

In other second round games, Damien Mulgrew and Pavanjit Sidhu each scored twice and Bradley Martin added a single as the Clippers grounded Elegant Flooring 5-0 and the Unicorn Soccer team shut out Richmond Old Blacks 3-0 on goals

by Benny Sio, Xiang Win Day and Ho Wing Tsui. Nenad Aleksic (Clippers) and Allan Lin (Unicorn) earned the clean sheets.

“AC Richmond controlled possession of the game (but) we were happy to cede possession to them along the back and press hard once they

entered our zone,” said Mike Giang of the Dragons. “We sought to counter quickly once we won possession.”

But it still took until the second half for either side to break through, with Keigo Kasai sliding a perfectlyweighted through ball into the right channel into Ronald Tse’s path. Tse finished the chance off from the side of the net.

The goal caused AC Richmond to quicken the pace, but against the flow of play the Dragons scored again as Jay Kim converted a chance with 20 minutes to play.

It was nearly 3-0 shortly after as Tse rattled a shot off the crossbar, before AC Richmond pulled to within a goal on a deflected shot that looped past the Dragons’ keeper.

Reeling after giving up a two-goal lead in a span of 10 minutes, the Dargons produced a dramatic game

winner. Winning the ball in their own zone, the Dragons moved the ball to Tse down the left flank who found an unmarked Kasai at the top of the 18 yard box. Kasai curled a shot over the keeper a minute before regulation time expired.

“We came up against a young, wellorganized squad that had more desire for the win,” said AC Richmond’s Indy Dulay. “AC Richmond players were probably over-confident in playing a lower division team, even though all the talk before the game was ‘don’t take this team lightly’. “ Dulay said the Dragons created good chances on the counter-attack but AC Richmond may have shaded the possession of the ball.

After the first half ended scoreless, AC Richmond hoped some changes in personnel would add some pace to the game. Unfortunately, said Du-

lay, this backfired as “a couple of silly mistakes in the middle led to their two quick goals.”

“Going down that way seemed to wake our team up a bit ,” he said. “We started to play with a bit more desire for the ball and thus started to create chances.”

John Blair’s goal with 10 minutes to go pulled AC Richmond to within one and five minutes later midfielder Tony McCullough scored to knot the game at two, only to see the comeback go for naught.

•The League Cup quarter-finals are slated to go Nov. 19 with Richmond All Blacks tackling Club Ireland Celtic, Graduates facing Jugadores CF 1, Unicorn Soccer meeting Pacific Dragons, and Clippers taking on Heatherbrae FC. All games are set to kick off at 9 p.m. at yet-to-be-determined fields.

“Very few shooting lanes were given to either team’s strikers,” said Chaos coach Al Groff. “A post or a crossbar, but no clean strikes were given. And where the Chaos offence had difficulty with Fusion’s strong defence, the Chaos defence shut down the Fusion scorers as well. “ The back four of the Chaos— Sarah Little, Alison Ikeda, Kia Guindon and Victoria Groff—left no clear shots and few chances for the Fusion.

Two newly-promoted teams square off for the second time this season Sunday night on the North Shore.

And they settled nothing, as Richmond Chaos and North Shore Fusion played to a scoreless tie in Metro Women’s Soccer League Second Division play at Ambleside field.

The game was close, but how much that had to do with the cold conditions and the late start time of 8 p.m. is subjective at best.

Early in the first half, Chaos and Fusion exchanged several long shots but no good scoring opportunities for either team materialized. Set plays on corner kicks were stopped by both team’s keepers who for the most part of the game did not have any real challenges.

Henry Anderson Elementary collected around 900 items for the Richmond Food Bank in October. This was part of the Free The Children We Scare Hunger campaign. The two classes that collected the most cans got their names on a trophy called “The Golden Can of Anderson.”

On Wednesday, volunteers from Coast Capital Savings shared their financial expertise with Grade 8 classes at Richmond Secondary School. The volunteers delivered Junior Achievement’s Dollars with Sense program, which is funded through a generous donation from Coast Capital. More than 75 per cent of Junior Achievement past participants believe the organization’s programs had a significant impact in developing their financial literacy skills. Achievers save more, borrow less, and do better financially than the average Canadian. Left photo: Organizing teacher Bob Thomas with Coast Capital Savings volunteers Khris Mendoaza, Laura Lalonde, Jas Dhillon and Jason Leung.
