Kickstart to Move for Health

Steveston a star in Godzilla Lifelong Steveston resident gets in the picture of epic local shoot

by Don Fennell Staff Reporter Mas Morimoto is brushing elbows with a force of nature.

On Friday, the lifelong Steveston resident will find out if he’s made the director’s cut in the epic $160 million reboot of the Godzilla movie franchise directed by Gareth Edwards and starring Bryan Cranston of Breaking Bad fame.

The 2014 version of Godzilla is the largest production to ever film in Richmond, shooting for 15 days in various locations throughout the city in the spring of 2013, including Steveston village and the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre.

An American science-fiction action film featuring the Japanese film monster, it recounts the origin of Godzilla in modern times in homage to the Toho series.

“My part (as part of a team of scientists) being a very small portion of the entire movie, and not seeing the finished product in its full glory makes my comments seem insignificant,” says Morimoto.

More off-leash enforcement promised City bylaw enforcement officers to step up patrols after finding 23 per cent of dogs off-leash

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter One of every four dogs was found off-leash during a recent city scan of a known hotspot for bylaw offenders, according to a Tuesday report promising greater enforcement this summer.

City employees covertly probed West Dyke Trail on eight occasions in March and observed 231 dogs—52 of which were off-leash, and at least 17 lacked dog licence tags.

Most of the dog-related complaints made to city hall this year—33 of 56 complaints being from one resident—originated from the dyke between Garry Point Park and Terra Nova.

Richmond’s animal control bylaw requires dogs to be leashed and in control while in public areas.

Off-leash animals present risks of dog attacks, bites and aggressiveness, according to the city, which recorded 55 incidents of dog bites in 2013.

“To address these types of incidents responsible pet ownership should be promoted. Two key fac-

tors that are accepted best practices, and standard in most municipalities, involve dog owners ensuring that the pet is wearing a valid dog licence and ensuring that their pet is on a leash, except when the dog is in a designated off-leash area,” said Edward Warzel, manager of community bylaws, in a report to a council committee this week.

Planned is an “enhanced dog enforcement program,” focusing on busy areas.

Godzilla left big footprint in Steveston More dogs equals From Page 1 “But I feel the director was trying to capture the delicate balance between science and Mother Nature and how at times the balance is lost,” Morimoto said.

“Regardless of how this movie is received I am so grateful I had the opportunity to be a small part of this project. Again, another example of stepping out and trusting it will all work out as it should be. We are merely the actors in this grand stage and when called upon we must perform. When you think of it, it is a bit overwhelming when one ponders that there are a few billion people on this planet and an individual from Richmond had this opportunity. Wow.” Morimoto, 66, is by nature a very humble individual who only caught the acting bug a few years ago. After retiring at the age of 60 from an engineering job at the City of Richmond, where he was employed for 30 years, he decided to go back to school to learn the Japanese form of pressure healing called shiatsu. It spoke to him internally and he says he discovered “a deeper spirituality.”

“I wanted to make sure the next phase of my life was going to be positive and I believe the positive energy you exude come back to you. It became amazing how was able to connect with people,” he said.

It was a conversation over coffee with a friend in Steveston, who had been modeling in New York, that led him into acting.

“She asked me what I’d like to do (with my life) and I said I’d like to do shiatsu on the movie sets,” Morimoto recalls.

She took a couple of head shots of Morimoto and sent them to a local talent agency.

Not long after he got a call from Pamela Wise at Premiere Talent Management in Vancouver offering to sign him, and in short order auditioned for a food commercial.

“I didn’t know anything (about the industry or what was expected) and was nervous as heck,” he said. “But I got a call-back, and when I went in for the second audition there were tons more people in the room, including sponsors I later found out.”

Months passed before he heard anything, when out of the blue he got a call from Wise congratulating him on getting the gig.

“It was about August (2011) and I was at a Sockeyes’ golf tournament,” says Morimoto, who volunteers with the Richmond Junior B hockey team as its director of community

“You have to become that person and that takes a lot of energy.”

— Mas Morimoto relations. “I remember a feeling of elation that must be what if eels like to win an Academy Award. But I didn’t want to say anything for fear it seemed like I was bragging. But it was a huge relief.”

More auditions followed, as did more gigs.

And as his confidence increased, Morimoto began to realize how much he enjoyed acting and wanted to pursue some more “serious” roles.

Morimoto has taken acting to heart and gained an appreciation for the subtle skill and craft it is.

“I now view movies from a whole different perspective,” he says. “You have to become that person and that takes a lot of energy.

You have to peel back all the biases and

prejudices, which is what all the great actors like Pacino and DeNiro are able to do. A little flick of the eyelid or a facial expression can make all the difference.”

Morimoto is a big believer in the forces of nature and that things happen for a reason.

He claims to never plan for anything.

“Things just work out,” he says. “Life is like a train station to me. Arriving or leaving is like entering another phase. The older I get the more comfortable I feel with that. So when they say life begins at 50, that can be true, but now with experience and possibly wisdom.”

Despite not acting on his talents as a child, Morimoto remembers always having a creative side. He always enjoyed drawing and was fascinated by the arts in general. He encourages everyone to open the door of opportunity when it is presented.

Godzilla may have left a big footprint in Steveston, but it’s one that may ultimately pave the way for bigger and better things for a local actor.

From Page 1 Visitors to local beaches, dykes, playgrounds and trails might notice a greater presence of bylaw enforcement officers this summer.

“The focus of this program will be to educate the public regarding responsible pet ownership, increase dog leash awareness, and encourage dog licensing,” noted Warzel.

The city is also deploying door-to-door dog licence canvassers this summer. The canvassers will accept credit card payments, or allow pet owners to connect with city hall’s licensing registry by phone. They’ll also be armed with information on the pesticide control bylaw.

As of April 1, 5,018 dogs were licensed in Richmond, including 67 dangerous dogs such as pit bulls. Annual fees for dog licences range from $10.75 to $267, depending on type of dog, if it’s spayed or neutered, if it’s deemed dangerous and when the licence is purchased.

The penalty for an unlicensed dog is up to $325, or up to $525 for an unlicensed dangerous dog, and subject to court prosecution for up to $10,000, according to city hall.

Bylaws staff blame a growing population for the increase in dog-related complaints.

Jezebel Erding of the Woofer Walkers Dog Walking Services said the number of off-leash dogs in public spaces such as the dyke is a problem, but she pointed to a“huge”lack of off-leash areas. Existing areas—there are six in Richmond—are too small, she added.

“Richmond desperately needs more off-leash dog trails and not just areas to hang out. Dog owners, professional dog walkers and dogs all want to go for a decent walk, and not just in some square enclosed off-leash space. Those are all the reasons why there are dogs off leash on the dyke.”

Vancouver has more off-leash parks, she said, yet some Vancouver dog walkers come here.

“We really only have two semi-decent off-leash dog parks in Richmond and the actual designated off-leash areas of those two dog parks just aren’t big enough for Richmond’s growing dog community. And then to accommodate Vancouver dog walking companies too is too much.”

Longtime dog walker Lisa Hinch, from Walk N Roll Pet Services, also pointed to a lack of off-leash areas.

“Richmond has way more dogs than it has the ability to provide off-leash area for, and some are very inconvenient.”

Hinch said one method some cities have successfully employed is time-sharing: allowing dogs to be off-leash at certain times of the day in some parks.

‘Happy City’ author to speak at Lulu Series Urbanist Charles Montgomery delivers lecture Thursday

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Journalist and urbanist Charles Montgomery, whose book examines the intersection of urban design and happiness, will deliver a lecture in Richmond Thursday.

Montgomery’s lecture begins at 7 p.m. at Richmond City Hall, as part of the Lulu Series: Art in the City program.

Happy City: Transforming Our Lives Through Urban Design explores whether dense urban living is better or worse for our happiness by taking readers through some of the world’s most dynamic cities. Montgomery explains how cities and their designs influence how we feel, behave and treat each other. He draws on scientific research and personal stories, arguing that a happy city is also a green city—and is within reach.

Montgomery, a frequent speaker on urban planning issues, spends most of his time in East Vancouver and Mexico City. His writings on cities, psychology, culture and history have ap-

peared in magazines and journals around the world.

Condo living is among his latest book’s topics. Montgomery writes about Rob McDowell, a single man who moves into a small condo with beautiful views. He was happy, but the feeling didn’t last.

It was lonely living; people lived close but didn’t know each other. He later moved in the same complex to a row of townhouses along the base of the tower. Main doors faced a garden and volleyball court, and he got to know his neighbours. Many became close friends.

“Rather than bumping into any one of three hundred or so strangers each day in the tower elevator, McDowell experienced repeated contact with fewer than two dozen neighbors, making the social world of the garden more manageable, somewhat like a fareej, a domestic enclosure common in the Arab world that is big enough for several extended families,” writes Montgomery.

The May 15 talk will be preceded by a performance by M’Girl, an ensemble of aboriginal women who blend percussive-based hand drum songs with contemporary song.

Admission is free. Seats may be reserved by emailing lulu@richmond.ca.

GUEST SPEAKERS

TOMORROW! Join us for the City of Richmond’s annual series of talks about art in the city and its importance to creating connections between citizens and their communities.

An artist’s rendering of the proposed Pacific Autism Family Centre Foundation building on Sea Island.

Thursday, May 15 7:00 p.m.

Charles Montgomery HAPPY CITY

Plans for autism centre on Sea Island move ahead Sea Island facility will serve as hub for autism-related resources

by Matthew Hoekstra

$20 million, is being bankrolled by the province.

Once built, the facility aims to become a “knowledge centre” in B.C., bringing together resources for research, information, learning assessment, treatment and support for people with

autism spectrum disorder and their families.

“The concept for this centre involves both a new building in Richmond and services in regions across the province through a ‘hub, spoke and satellite’ framework,” according to the architect’s submis-

sion to the city.

Autism spectrum disorder occurs in approximately one of every 68 births, according to the centre’s website. It is four to five times more common in boys than girls, and is the most common neurological disorder in children.

Limited seating.

Please RSVP at lulu@ richmond.ca

What if our cities themselves had the power to make or break our happiness? Drawing on brain science, psychology, and rich personal stories, award-winning journalist and author, Charles Montgomery, explains how cities influence how we feel, behave, and treat other people in ways most of us never realize. We can change our lives by changing our relationship with our cities—and each other. By understanding the effect that design has on our emotions and decisions, we can all share this empowering new vision of city life.This talk will be preceded by a short performance by the Indigenous vocal ensemble, M’Girl.

Staff Reporter A planned centre for the study, treatment and assessment of autism— the first of its kind—is moving ahead on Sea Island.

The city’s development permit panel board will hear an application from NSDA Architects today (Wednesday) for the construction of a 59,772-square-foot facility for the Pacific Autism Family Centre Foundation.

The $28-million centre is proposed for a vacant 0.9-hectare (2.3-acre) site off Russ Baker Way near the B.C. Institute of Technology Aerospace Campus, at 1001 Hudson Ave. Foundation co-founder Sergio Cocchia presented plans to Richmond council a year ago.

ohn Horgan is the new leader of the NDP. Unlike the situation in 2011, when there was a hard-fought battle for the NDP leadership, he won it by acclamation, and took over his new role on May 1.

The lack of competition for the job isn’t surprising. In 2011, it looked like quite a prize. The BC Liberals were in disarray, Gordon Campbell had resigned, and winning the premiership after 12 years

in opposition looked like a cakewalk.

Even a year ago, during the election campaign, the polls said the NDP was far ahead. But on election day, the party lost—and quite decisively. Leader Adrian Dix pondered the situation for a short time, then announced he was stepping aside.

Horgan was one of the four contenders for the NDP leadership in 2011, and made a number of visits here in that campaign. I had the chance to speak with him several times, and was impressed by his breadth of knowledge and his generally upbeat personality.

He worked in senior positions in the NDP government of the 1990s, and he knows B.C. intimately. This is one of his big strengths.

Unlike Dix, who is a Vancouver guy, Horgan knows the province and the differences between regions and communities very well. The very fact that he represents a Vancouver Island riding (not a downtown Victoria one) is a plus.

N

ow that applications for universities are over for most people, soup kitchens are understaffed again.

Slowly because of this, the phenomenon of the “anti-leader” began to emerge in my brain.

I’ve been thinking about the antileader as more and more people have been pointing out to me, “Wow, you must have an impressive resume with everything you do.”

In response, I get offended and sarcastically respond, “Yes, because I’d spend my life writing out my resume instead of living it.”

I guess you could say I’m a little offended that people have grown to think my passion lies in filling out a document instead of actually engaging myself in experiences.

But growing up in a community where every other word you hear is “leadership”, it’s easy to understand how the message—that volunteering is something you simply “should do” even if you don’t want to—is accepted.

It starts with the fact that we have a requirement for service hours in order to graduate and

ends with the fact that it seems that everyone is transforming into a “leader”.

More and more people around me are becoming obsessed with winning titles, awards, certificates—for the crave of certification rather than the pursuit of passion.

It’s ridiculous to think that’s what it’s become, but less genuinely interested people and more bogus “leaders” come into play.

I call these people the antileaders; but I empathize with the anti-leader.

Because they’re still doing good, even if their heart isn’t in it.

We’re slowly becoming more and more obsessed with the competition to have a “successful” life.

Somehow we’ve been eaten up by the mentality that Regular Joes are not good enough and Talented Toms don’t count for all that much either.

I remember I was hanging out with my friends and one of them said quietly, “It doesn’t even matter. Everyone will end up with an OK job, in an OK house living an OK life.”

I agree, but I, like most people, am a little unsatisfied with the concept of the OK life. I’d like to stop bullying, create world-peace and seize every opportunity and I like that idea. Then there are

More and more people around me are becoming obsessed with winning titles, awards, certificates—for the crave of certification rather than the pursuit of passion. the anti-leaders that want to be recognized for changing the world and gain a full-paid scholarship into a life filled with money. And at the end maybe we’ll both end up with a bird’s-eye-view of an OK life, but it’s all about how we got there.

I see it as it’s all about the journey and the feeling, not the conceptualized reward.

My friend Celine Li, a fellow Grade 10 student at R.A. McMath, told me, “Personally. I think everyone experiences a bit of that pressure. To have a good resume means to have a good job and a successful future. And volunteering is a way to build that up. But I find that, as long as you keep in mind that you’re helping people, it’s OK. The whole concept of helping people is always the most admirable and wonderful thing someone can do in the long run anyways.”

I’m not saying I’m a perfect hu-

man being. I like to get things, win and cycle good karma selfishly.

However, if we concentrate too much on what we receive out of something, we become the antileader too.

And I would truly hate to become the anti-leader.

Chelsea Beard, who has been recognized for her outstanding leadership skills, is very much the anti-anti-leader and she says: “I would consider myself a leader because I try very hard to show people that they have potential and to motivate them.”

When I asked her what she thought about the anti-leader she said: “I think that there are always people who volunteer for the wrong reasons. It’s really annoying for me to be honest, considering I am there to help people instead of make myself look better. However I can’t really complain about it because they are still helping the community regardless of their intentions.”

So just like the Beatles song, if you ever noticed yourself slipping into anti-leadership just think: “In the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.”

letters Garlic thieves underline increasing thefts at community gardens Editor: I was the victim of garden theft and witnessed it no more than 20 metres away. I spent the morning weeding, cleaning and beautifying the space at the Terra Nova Community Garden when my perfect day ended in horror. I sat down to reflect after seven hours of toil and noticed a well-dressed Chinese couple squatting down around my garlic bed. It took no longer than 30 seconds before the lady pulled out a clump of my produce.

I immediately approached the couple and informed them that this produce did not belong

to them. They stood up and looked at me without a glimmer of shame and the gentleman indicated that they did not speak English. I told them that the produce was not free and that they should go to the supermarket to buy garlic instead of taking mine. The lady buried the garlic back into its spot and the couple walked to the parking lot and left in their BMW. Theft is a common occurrence at community gardens and is happening with increasing frequency. What makes people who have the resources take without permission? Is this the new world

order? If so I am at a loss.

I would like to ask members of my community who work with all groups of non-English speakers to reaffirm the basic human values of mindfulness and respect.

Lastly, to the couple that ended my day? Please come back and visit my garden space. Admire the beauty and wonder of my labour. Stop and speak with me.

Share in the joy of what I am trying to accomplish. I would like to build a stronger community that includes you.

It is unconscionable that the school district be asked to come up with money it doesn’t have Editor: As a former school trustee, I share the agony and frustration of the Richmond Board of Education as expressed by board chair Donna Sargent in her recent open letter.

Most of the issues at stake are not new: that the Ministry of Education did not provide adequate funding to cover pay increases negotiated by the government, downloaded its responsibilities to local boards, and kept calling reserve funds that have been earmarked for particular purposes in local school districts as “surplus” to be clawed back.

The latest attack on local boards is the ministry’s unilateral decision to require school districts to share up to 50 per cent of the costs for major capital projects. How could this be possible when school districts already have to cut services to deal with the funding crunch?

Richmond school trustees should be commended for their many years of prudent fiscal management so that

the negative impact of inadequate funding on students has been relatively light in comparison to other school districts. But the adverse effects of this new policy will be too great for any local board to bear.

In 2013, the Province of B.C. collected more than $103 million (after adjustment) from school tax in Richmond and provided $172 million to fund the school district’s K-12 education program. In other words, Richmond taxpayers have already contributed 60 per cent of the expenses to educate their children. It is unconscionable that the Richmond School District be asked to come up with money it does not have to pay extra for capital projects which are the ministry’s responsibility.

I urge the provincial government to reverse its decision and guarantee that education funds for our children be protected from paying for capital projects.

Bill 24 is short-sighted, risky and uncalled for Editor: Please put a stop to Bill 24.

Quality food-growing soil is not being created anymore and it would be criminal to remove and pave over any further acreage from the ALR. Canadian news last week indicated that the price of farmland in Saskatchewan and Manitoba has increased up to 90 per cent in the past 10 years.

It is common knowledge that China is purchasing huge acreages of arable land all over the world (Africa, Hungary, southern United States, etc.) anticipating their future inability to feed their own population.

Why is B.C. immune to future food-growing needs?

California is anticipating drastic reduction of their ability to continue growing their huge crops of vegetables/fruit in the central valley due to repeated droughts.

Current food price increases are reportedly irreversible.

These news items together with the (incomprehensible non-organic) growth and densification of housing capacity in B.C. calls for extreme caution in the preservation of arable land.

Bill 24 is extremely short-sighted, risky and uncalled for. “Community planning objectives” seems a euphemism for “developer planning objectives” and the “profits before community” attitude too common in B.C. lately.

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick, please act with wisdom, caution, and foresight for the future population and economy of B.C. Please stop Bill 24.

A McHappy Day at Blundell Centre

Richmond’s capacity for giving never ceases to amaze Christine Campbell.

The latest example took place last week, during McHappy Day, when 122 members of the local community rolled up their sleeves to volunteer for a good cause at one of her four local McDonald’s stores.

The 40 volunteers who participated at her Blundell Centre restaurant personally invited the public to make a donation for the Richmond Society for Community Living. In doing so, $7,444 was raised in Richmond.

Staff and Volunteers at Blundell Centre McDonalds during McHappy Day May 7.

But the experience also gave volunteers some insight into—and appreciation for—what it takes to work behind the counter at a McDonald’s, which during breakfast, lunch and dinner can be extremely busy.

“We are so incredibly proud of our staff, and how they deal with the public in such a respectful and dignified way,” she said. $1 from the sale of every McCafe hot beverage, Happy Meal and Big Mac sandwich were donated to the Richmond Society for Community Living, which provides programs and services for infants, children and adults who are living with developmental disabilities, as well as their families.

More than 1,400 McDonald’s restaurants across the country participated in McHappy Day. Christine and her husband Bob operate four McDonald’s locations in Richmond: Ironwood Plaza, Alderbridge Way, Steveston Village and Blundell Centre.

The Blundell Centre location of McDonald’s is located at 8140 No. 2 Rd., at the intersection with Blundell Road.

They can be reached at 604-718-1100.

The annual May 7 fundraiser has benefitted many local charities, includling the Richmond Christmas Fund, Richmond Hospital, Steveston Community Association’s water park, Richmond Centre for Disability and Touchstone Family Association, among others.

DENTURES confidence and health THAT FIT But her work goes well beyond helping improve a person’s appearance.

People need their teeth to chew their food, to extract all the nutrients from what they eat, and to assist in the body’s digestive process.

And she suggests people with dentures regularly visit their denturist to get their dentures relined.

Long before she entered her profession, Raeisi thought she would work mostly with seniors, thanks in part to her close relationship with her grandparents when they lived in Iran.

Seniors are sweet, sincere,

grateful and respectful, and Raeisi said she enjoys improving their quality of life.

That’s why she dedicates her Fridays to driving out to visit seniors who can’t otherwise get out to see her.

“In high school, on weekends, I volunteered at seniors homes,” she said from her office, which looks out onto No. 3 Road.

High school students from all over Richmond came together late last month to watch and perform at the Andante Music Cafe, a new talent show at the Richmond Cultural Centre.

It was hosted by City Centre Footprints, a volunteer student-led group that aims to help promote the arts in Richmond.

As the audience snacked on everything from chocolate cake, strawberries, and nachos, with drinks like hot tea, coffee and juice, performers showcased their talents. Performances ranged from spoken word poetry to singing.

Samantha Ho, a Grade 12 student from A.R. MacNeill, and her music partner, Michael Dobko, performed three songs on the cello and piano, respectively.

Filling the venue with the sounds of “Gymnopédies”, “Berceuse”, and “Sentimental Waltz”, the passionate musicians simply decided to perform for the fun of it. “I know that some people that are here are my friends, so I would be comfortable doing everything,” said Ho. Other performances included a dance sequence to a Chinese pop song with four girls dressed in white lace dress holding matching Chinese hand fans. A solo rendition of “All of Me” by John Legend performed by another student was accompanied with a YouTube version of the song.

The last hour of the show was devoted to improvised acts, which meant that anyone could go up and perform spoken word poetry or songs.

Most students read the words or lyrics from their phones, and Alice Wu and Amanda Wong were no exception. The two sang songs from the movie Frozen, with fan favourite “Let It Go” being one of them, while scrolling the lyrics on a red cased cell phone.

With the wide array of performances, City Centre Footprints is hoping to organize another event for students to show their talents.

“The event produced a lively environment where participants felt safe to express their artistic abilities. Youth and teens were encouraged to come out and share their talents during open mic,” said Emily Sun, who was part of the youth leadership team that organized the event.

ichmond artist Hui Lin Liu is exhibiting her paintings in a solo show at the Taiwanese Cultural Centre Society Art Gallery in Vancouver this month.

Liu is known for using vibrant colours and a variety of media and methods to create her abstract works.

Her show, Seastar Flowers, coincides with Asian Heritage Month, and features large paintings on canvas and glass, along with free-standing back-lit pieces. The works explore ocean creatures, blended with terrestrial elements.

Spring trends for men Celia Leung Fashion Stylist

T

hough men’s fashion trends may not be as varied as women’s, they can often overlap. Borrowed from the boys, the oxford dress shirt is one of womenswear’s biggest trends this season.

Over on the menswear side, spring fashions take a hint from the stereotypically feminine floral prints, with dark flower patterns making a statement on the runways. Designer menswear collections can be a bit over the

key to making trends wearable is to incorporate them in small and subtle ways. A great way to experiment with the latest trends is through accessories.

For example, add a floral print tie to your dress shirt or use a silk scarf as a pocket square.

The floral trend was in full bloom at a number of the biggest menswear shows. A new and fashionable spin on the tacky Hawaiian tropical-print shirts, Prada presented big and bold floral tops in primary shades of red, blue and yellow.

At Dries Van Noten, the designer made flowers his theme, printing dark floral patterns on everything from button-ups and blazers to pants. Gucci also exaggerated the floral trend, sending models down the runway rocking full floral-printed suits. For a less dramatic but still unexpected way to wear florals, switch out your usual button-up with a floral print dress shirt. The smaller the pattern, the more subdued the print is. For the fashion forward, try a large floral pattern as a statement piece.

Floral prints also tie in nicely with another menswear trend, the dandy. An inspiration for collections such as Dries Van Noten and

Haider Ackermann, the dandy romanticizes an era where men donned full suits, silk scarves and played with lively combinations of colours and patterns. A bit flashy but always well-dressed, the dandy was represented by metallic three-piece suits at Dolce & Gabbana. For a more casual approach to dandyism, try a variation of the outfit spotted at Dsquared2.

jacket was paired with a classic dress shirt and white pants. The trick for the dandy trend is to complete the look with chic accessories, such as thick-framed glasses, a bright bag or neck scarf.

A hot trend this season, for both menswear and womenswear, is the athletic look. Designers all over were inspired by sports, even taking cues from cycling, surfing and skating culture. Alexander Wang showed off sporty ensembles complete with leather baseball caps and sneakers.

To avoid looking like you’re just heading to the gym, try this trend by pairing a sporty piece with something dressier. It’s also a great way to tone down a more formal item in your closet. At Gucci, sporty anoraks were worn with sleek dress pants.

For those with an affinity towards a more vintage style there’s the 1950’s trend.

Characterized by high waists, spread collars and pleated pants, 1950’s-inspired casual looks were presented at Bottega Veneta and Missoni. Michael Kors, inspired by the 1940’s and Cary Grant, put out a collection consisting of vintage looking high-waisted pants with full legs, double-

breasted blazers and wide lapels. A more polished silhouette, the 1950’s trend is great for emphasizing the waistline.

As for colour, blue is the “it” shade of the season. Calvin Klein, Giorgio Armani all displayed a wide range of blues in their collections. Inspired by the sea and sky, the creative director of Calvin Klein’s menswear line, Italo Zucchelli, showed a multitude of blue on blue ensembles.

Colour-blocking with varying shades of blue were applied to sweaters, cardigans and jackets. One of the simpler trends to incorporate into the wardrobe, an easy look would be to pair blue jeans with a top of another blue shade.

Whatever your style, this season is sure to have a trend to suit your taste. Fashion trends are all about experimentation and going out of your comfort zone, so try a new look this spring!

Voices behind Opera Mariposa host second benefit show to support people with chronic diseases

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond soprano Robin Eder-Warren is presenting a new Broadway revue show for charity on Saturday.

On Saturday, May 17, 22-year-old EderWarren will join soprano Jacqueline Ko and pianist Angus Kellett to perform “The Butterfly.” The show will use Broadway showstoppers to tell a true story of friendship, adversity and transformation.

Eder-Warren and Ko, who are writing, directing and performing, will tell their stories through music, using hit songs from shows like Frozen, Wicked and Les Misérables to tell the tale of two courageous young women deter-

mined to follow their dreams.

All proceeds will go to B.C.’s first Complex Chronic Diseases Program at BC Women’s Hospital.

One of the singers knows the cause well.

Ko lives with ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), and the pair—founders of the Opera Mariposa company—want to use their passion for music to help raise awareness.

“By creating The Butterfly, we want to not only inform people about these life-altering diseases, but support sorely needed treatment and research,” said Eder-Warren.

Last year’s benefit raised $10,000 for the hospital’s Complex Chronic

Diseases Program.

Marpole United Church, 1296 West 67th Ave. in Vancouver, will host the show on Saturday, May 17 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets, $15 to $22, available at operamariposa.com or from Brown Paper Tickets at 1-800-838-3006.

Worlds puts local ump McMath sprints to first track championship in line for Olympics Tony Shaw hoping for assignment at Rio Games in 2016

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Tony Shaw reached the quarter-finals at the recent World Table Tennis Championships in Tokyo, a feat the Richmond umpire hopes will help earn him a spot at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Long recognized as one of Canada’s top officials and always an ardent champion of his sport, Shaw celebrated his 70th birthday Sunday with the energy and look of someone much younger.

On Monday, he was back at the Richmond Olympic Oval working to improve his craft.

“There were evaluations going on all the time in Japan, in every match,” said Shaw.

“I hope I did well enough to be considered as an official at the Olympics, which has always been my goal.”

The 2014 world championships was Shaw’s third. He’s also officiated at numerous other international tour-

TONY SHAW

naments as well as locally, where he’s often served as the chief official.

Shaw was overwhelmed by this year’s world championships, which featured not only the best of the best but were played in two venues each the size of the Richmond Olympic Oval.

“It was all like a big carnival,

just llke an Olympic Games,” he said. “There were 110 countries represented and 13,000 players. And both venues were full most of the time.”

Richmond’s Andre Ho, an Olympian in 2012 in London, was among the Canadian players none of whom made it to the playoff round.

Shaw still believes Canadians can compete with the world’s elite, but stressed it will be a challenge—and not without significant sacrifices.

“In countries like China table tennis is extremely popular because it’s relatively inexpensive,” he said.

“And there’s lots of opportunities to play. Canadians can do the same, but to become as good as the best players in the world they need to play the best more often.

Unfortunately geography is a factor. Another way is to have our players be able to go overseas to learn from the best coaches in a sport/ cultural exchange.”

For the first time in school history, the R.A. McMath Wildcats are city track champions.

McMath captured the overall title at the Richmond Secondary Schools track and field meet, edging out perennial powerhouses H.J. Cambie Crusaders and A.R. MacNeill Ravens.

The Wildcats, featuring a strong core of young Kajaks athletes, dominated many of the Grade 8 to 10 events, especially on the track. The key to their win this year, however, was the surprising strength in many of the field events with several victories in the long, triple and high jumps.

The reverse was true in the senior side, with Cambie and MacNeill using their depth to pick up points, racking up big totals in many of the throwing events.

Several athletes had impressive finals performances. Sara Cathcart of McMath won the junior long jump, high jump, 100m and keyed her teams victories in the 4 x 100 and 4 x 400m relays.

Grade 8 Nicholas Higashitani from the Wildcats also

did well, winning the 100, 200 and anchored his teams in both the relays as well.

Cambie star, and new Kajak, Mikaella Gloria won her 200, 400 and 800m individual events and led her relay foursomes to the top.

The top four athletes in each of the 13 individual and two relay events will now take on the best from Burnaby and New Westminster today in the zone championships in an attempt to move on to the provincial championships

Behind every work zone cone is a worker in a vulnerable position. Each cone stands for someone’s father, mother, son, or daughter. That’s why it’s important to know that thousands of people working by the roadside in B.C. are counting on you to slow down and drive with care when approaching a “Cone Zone.”

Move for Health mascot Active Jack was on hand all day Saturday to deliver a simple message: stay active.

Stay healthy and live long As part of Richmond’s Move for Health, Discover Your Sport Day promotes well-being for all ages

by Don Fennell Sports Editor “Walk more and eat less.”

That was the message Dr. Jack Kliman, chair of the Richmond Division of Family Practice, reiterated Saturday at the annual Move for Health festival at Minoru Park.

Representing more than 120 family physicians, Kliman said it’s a routine that isn’t difficult to adopt—es-

pecially in a city like Richmond which is, by nature, flat.

He also promoted staying active by participating in the many recreation opportunities that exist through Richmond’s many community centres and sports groups.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie, who led a mayor’s walk around Minoru Park, noted proudly that Richmond boasts the highest aver-

age lifespan of 83 years.

He said the basic reason for that is a desire among residents to stay active.

Richmond Sports Council chair Jim Lamond, who initiated Discover Your Sport Day three years ago, said it is important every child get the opportunity to try a sport of their choosing.

“Just as children need to be taught to read and write, they also need to be taught how to run, jump and throw, after all,

all movement is a child’s first language. Our ability to move is the most fundamental means we have of interacting with our world,” he said. Children who have fun being active are more likely to stay active.”

The Richmond Sports for Life strategy embraces the concept that children raised with quality sport and physical activity have the choice to use their skills and enjoy being active for their entire lives.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Hugh at Rotary Hospice House on May 3, 2014 at age 86. Predeceased by his wife Pat, sister Nancy and parents Hugh and Doreen Ross, Hugh is survived by sons Randy and Frank, daughter Kathy (John), granddaughter Chris (Daren), and great-grandchildren Brian and Shelby.

Hugh was born in Toronto and raised in Vancouver. A graduate of the University of B.C. Hugh took his post-grad at University of Toronto, in hospital administration. After graduation he held the position of assistant administrator at the St. Catharine’s General Hospital, where he met his future wife Pat. After a few years living in both Ontario and Ormestowne, Quebec, he and the family returned to his much loved B.C., settling first in Prince Rupert, and finally in Richmond in 1964.

Hugh was the first CEO of Richmond Hospital, including managing the facility through initial design and build, retiring after almost 20 years of service at the age of 55. He and Pat then enjoyed life to the fullest, spending time with good friends at their Kauai condo, enjoying cruises and taking road trips all over the United States.

Family members would like to extend thanks to his caregivers, Albert and Angie, and the staff of Rotary Hospice House for their care and compassion. There will be no service by request. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.

He was a good man, he led a full life and he will always be remembered with love.

BBut healt alth has improved for seeizzed Rottweilers, who for h ve each lost between 10 hav a d 15 pounds and bby Jaacqqueliine Langen and Maartinn van den Hemel Bllackk Preess

A bid to o havve two Rottweilers released frrom dogg gy death row was denied by a Richm d pro mond ovin nciial court judge, who ruled last w k hee did week dn’tt have jurisdiction to hear the m er. matte

City lawyer Kevin Westell argued before Judge Dennis Schmidt that the court didn’t have the power to grant an interim release of the dogs before a scheduled hearing on April 10 at Richmond provincial court.

Fearing for the welfare of their pets, after learning they hadn’t been walked in months and had ballooned in weight, owner Nav Nijjer and his mother Prabjot Nijjer sought to have the court intervene and release the dogs prior to the court hearing.

But it wasn’t all bad news for the Nijjer family, who have seen a significant improvement in the health of their pets, Axel and Paris.

They appear to have lost between 10 and 15 pounds each in the past couple of weeks, are being walked daily, and are out in the yard

for a few hours each day, according to lawyer Joe Peschisolido, whose fi firm has been hired by the family after the City of Richmond applied to have the dogs destroyed.

The Richmond Review revealed two weeks ago that volunteers and staff ff at the Richmond Animal Protection Society were barred from walking the seized dogs, which have been labelled as dangerous by the city. A society policy had prohibited anyone from walking dangerous dogs, which under normal circumstances would have been seized for a maximum of 21 days.

Since they were seized on Oct. 25, following a minor biting incident involving a construction worker who suff ffered a dime-sized contusion to his upper thigh, the dogs have gained an estimated 25 pounds each.

The extra exercise, along with a chaang ge to their diet, has resulted in a notable up pticck in their health, Peschisolido said.

The Nijjers are hoping their pets willl be returned and have built an enclosure th hey say ensures that the dogs never escape ag gain n.

The enclosure was inspected by anim mal behaviour specialist Dr. Rebecca Ledgeer, who noted there are now three fences—eaach “at least five feet tall, robust and well-consstru ucted”—between the Nijjer’s yard and thee ad djaacent Henry Anderson Elementary Scho ool.

“These fences prevent school children n from looking into your yard to see the dogs,, and also prevent the dogs from seeing out or coming within 20 feet of the property line,” Led dger wrote.

ore than a hundred people skated circles to raise money to make sure the community’s students get the best possible start to their day at the Richmond Sunset Rotary Club’s second annual Rotary Skates for the World skatea-thon, presented by River Green at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

“This year the goal (was) to raise money for the Richmond School District 38 for the breakfast program,” said Magdalen Leung, past president of the club and chair of the event.

Of the more than

99

100 skate-a-thon participants most were students, helping raise money through pledges.

Additional money was raised by the event through sponsorships.

Two thirds of what was brought in by Rotary Skates for the World will go towards Feed-U-Cate, a breakfast program for Richmond schools.

“It is our children and they are our future leaders so we must help,” Leung said.

The remainder of the money raised will go towards curing polio, a longstanding cause supported by Rotary.

That money will be matched by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

The skate-a-thon was put on thanks in part to the help of Hugh Boyd Secondary’s Interact Club.

“We love giving back to the community,” said club president Brandon Low. Amanda Oye covers the social scene for The Richmond Review.
