Survey of candidates for school trustee 3

REVIEW RICHMONDREVIEW.COM

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Over 6,500 voters cast ballots at advance polls in Richmond ahead of Saturday’s election, which promises change on both city council and school board.

The number of ballots marked through five days of early voting opportunities is 47 per cent higher than in 2011—in a city with a notoriously low voter turnout.

In Richmond’s last civic election, 31,126 people voted, good for a turnout rate of 23.7 per cent—up slightly from the previous election’s turnout of 22.1 per cent.

Interest could be higher this year given the sheer number of candidates. On Saturday voters will select one mayor, eight councillors and seven school trustees from a record 52 candidates.

Another record set this year is the number of political parties in the race, with six slates in the mix. Richmond First and RCA (Richmond Citizens Association) are returning parties, along with the re-branded RITE Richmond group.

Advance polls popular in Richmond Saturday election promises at least two new faces on both council and school board

DIG DEEP!

Richmond First has been positioning itself as a proactive party with experience and fiscal prudence. RCA says its a social democratic party, and its lone council candidate Harold Steves is highlighting his commitment to the issue of climate change.

RITE Richmond bills itself as a party of transparency, honesty and accountability.

Newcomers this year are the Richmond Community Coalition, Richmond Reform and Renew Richmond.

The coalition is promising a full review of city spending and self-imposed term limits. Richmond Reform, the only party to challenge incumbent Malcolm Brodie for the mayor’s chair, advocates for lower property tax, a safer community and better transit. Richmond Reform is promising improved communications and a “transit-centric city.”

There are also 20 candidates running as independents this year.

At least two new faces are guaranteed on both city council and school board. Couns.

Linda Barnes and Evelina HalseyBrandt are retiring from politics, while school trustees Kenny Chiu and Grace Tsang are moving on.

Chiu is eyeing a federal seat, while Tsang is making a run at a job on city council.

Polls are open Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Residents must vote at their designated voting place, as identified on mailed voter cards.

Arrest of youths seems to put end to surge in Steveston break-ins

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Steveston residents have been sleeping a little more soundly in recent weeks, it appears.

Late last month, Richmond Mounties announced the arrest of two youths they suspect are behind more than a dozen break-ins in the Steveston area, with some incidents where the residents were home at the time of the

break-ins.

But did Mounties get the right perpetrators?

Richmond RCMP Cpl. Stephanie Ashton said the pair were caught red-handed while trying to break into a home near the 8200 block of No. 3 Road.

Since local police announced the arrests on Oct. 28, there have been four residential break-ins in the Steveston area—one in which a garage remote control was taken from an

School trustee candidates survey election!

Eric Yung Richmond First, incumbent Top 3 issues: Insufficient funding.

Inclusive learning. Staff communication/morale.

Platform: Our children deserve the best education that we can provide – not just the best we can afford.

This is the most important duty of a school trustee.

Our greatest challenge is meeting the needs of our children with di-

’14

minishing resources.

With an expanding special needs population, and a large ESL population, our funding challenge will be even greater in the future.

I will continue to advocate for stable and increased funding for our school district and I ask for your support so that I can continue to help guarantee the quality of the future education of our children.

Richmond driver charged in hit and run Nearly two years to the day that a 30-year-old Vancouver woman was struck in a serious hit-and-run collision on Renfrew and Adanac Street in Vancouver, Vancouver Police announced they arrested and charged a Richmond man.

On Nov. 8, 2012, the victim was struck by a car and taken to hospital with serious injuries, and remained there for some time, requiring multiple surgeries for the life-altering injuries she suffered.

On Friday, Nov. 7, Vancouver Police announced charges had been laid

against Terry Dai Yee Ma, 29, who is facing a charge of failing to remain at the scene of an accident causing bodily harm.

Investigators followed up numerous leads in an effort to locate the vehicle responsible and identify the driver, while also gathering enough evidence to support criminal charges, Vancouver Police said in a press release.

Said Vancouver Police Insp. Les Yao: “Our investigators never stop looking for those that fail to take responsibility for their actions.”

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Mike Heath was out walking his dog a few weeks ago when a colourful mushroom caught his eye.

Now after doing a little homework, the former Richmond Sockeyes hockey player wants local parents of young children to be aware of Amanita muscaria, otherwise known as fly agaric.

Heath has encountered the distinctive red mushrooms in increasing numbers over the last three weeks, running across them at his former Diefenbaker Elementary School, as well as near the City of Richmond’s Pitch and Putt golf course on Francis Road.

“It looked like something from a fantasy movie...I never noticed them before. It jumped out at me because of how bright it was,” he said, adding that he initially thought it might have been a child’s toy like a ball, with its bright red cap, festooned with white spots.

The toadstool mushroom’s red cap is up to eight-inches in diameter, and it has white gills and a white stipe.

City Board Improving Traffic Flow at City Centre Waterfront Planned Road Improvements near Dinsmore Bridge and River Road The realignment of River Road is a key component of the City Centre Area Plan to establish and expand the Middle Arm Waterfront Park with the now closed River Road between Hollybridge Way and Gilbert Road to be converted to public open space. This temporary road alignment will ultimately be replaced by a new fourlane arterial roadway to be constructed along the former CP Rail corridor.

Mike Heath photo Local resident Mike Heath noticed these colourful mushrooms, known as Amanita muscaria or fly agaric, popping up near Diefenbaker Elementary School, northeast of Steveston Highway and No. 1 Road. He’s urging parents of young children to make them aware and to avoid playing with them, as they’re considered poisonous.

Amanita muscaria is considered poisonous.

According to Hugh Griffith (@ rockpaperlizard), they are com-

mon in Richmond near birch trees: “They are...not about to jump down (your) throat. Stay calm and admire them.”

Additional measures to be undertaken by the end of this year to improve overall traffic operations of the new Gilbert Road-River Road intersection include: overhead directional signs, increased left-turn capacity, advance left-turn arrow phase, and vehicle detection to enable the extension of green time for queued traffic.

Let’s trim our waste!

Cab-hiring app Uber has countered a pre-emptive lawsuit against it by taxi companies with a petition urging the province and City of Vancouver to welcome its service.

Launched last Thursday, the petition had more than 14,000 names

by Monday and follows a vow from Transportation Minister Todd Stone to use undercover agents to fine Uber drivers if they begin operating in contravention of B.C. law.

In the petition preamble, Uber calls the taxi industry in Metro Vancouver a cartel of“a few rich taxi owners�out to preserve their business instead of serving passengers well. “While consumers are left stranded, the government continues to protect taxi interests under the guise of maintaining ‘industry health,’� it says. “With the lowest number of taxis per capita in North America, Vancouver residents and visitors are woefully underserved when it comes to transportation options.�

Critics from the taxi industry warn Uber would bring unreliable, potentially substandard service using questionable drivers and cars.

Uber operates in more than 220 cities and hopes to move into B.C.

Uber argues it’s a technology, not a conventional taxi service, and should not be subject to the same rules.

The U.S. firm invites private vehicle owners to sign up and takes a 20 per cent cut of fares. Customers use a smartphone app to book rides and pay fares without cash changing hands.

SFU City Program director Gordon Price said the taxi industry’s alarm is understandable – taxi licences worth up to $1 million in the Vancouver area would become nearly worthless if a flood of Uber drivers take over the market.

But he said passengers would enjoy cheaper fares and a service that’s “much better�because of the convenience of the app.

Passengers need not know where they are to book a ride with Uber, which finds their location via GPS and matches them with available drivers.

The taxi industry is meanwhile aim-

ing to launch its own app as early as February to provide similar features on behalf of all companies in the Lower Mainland, B.C. Taxi Association spokesman Mohan Kang said.

Municipalities are so far siding with taxi firms against Uber in part because of the money they collect from cab licence fees, SFU marketing professor Lindsay Meredith said.

But he said the issue boils down to protection of a long-running monopoly and predicts Uber would not have found such fertile ground here had taxis not been notorious for long waits and reluctance to make some trips. “Try to catch a cab at 2 a.m. to get back to Surrey,� Meredith said. “Most of the cabs don’t want to do that because of the empty backhaul.�

He noted one facet of Uber’s model is variable pricing, which can mean very high “surge� rates at peak demand times and lower fares at other times.

That aims to attract more drivers when they’re needed and match supply to demand. “Uber’s pricing system is much closer to a free market pricing structure,� Meredith said. “If they’re able to elbow their way in here they will start driving down the prices and that strikes fear into the hearts of taxi companies.�

Uber operates in more than 220 cities and has been advertising on Facebook for drivers in B.C.

Enterovirus D68 Flu striking early case tally jumps to 150 in B.C. Most patients hospitalized with respiratory illness are children

by Jeff Nagel Black Press The total number of labconfirmed cases of enterovirus-D68 has jumped again to 150.

The B.C. Centre For Disease Control released new statistics as of Nov. 5 on the virus that has been causing severe respiratory illness, particularly in children and teenagers.

Around 30 new cases are being detected each week, public health officials say.

There was one death in October of a 25-year-old Lower Mainland man with enterovirus D68 who also suffered from asthma. His was the first death in Canada linked to the virus.

BCCDC officials are still unsure to what extent the enterovirus infection caused or contributed

to that death or to three other cases of neurological illness in other B.C. patients with who have contracted the virus since August.

Sixty-two per cent of victims so far are children under 10 years old and 57 per cent are male.

Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, has said the number of lab-confirmed cases reflect the most ill patients who have been hospitalized, while many more people likely have the virus but have experienced only minor symptoms.

Enterovirus D68 can seem like a cold, but the virus may cause wheezing and breathing difficulties in severe cases, especially children with asthma, and has been linked to temporary paralysis in rare cases.

The virus isn’t new – variants circulate each year and there have been outbreaks before.

There’s no vaccine for it so officials stress hand washing and cleaning surfaces to prevent its spread.

Regular flu season is striking earlier than usual, the BCCDC says, noting there have been seven influenza outbreaks so far at B.C. long-term care facilities.

Fraser Health says flu vaccination shots are now available at doctors’ offices, pharmacies, walk-in clinics and public health flu clinics. (Find locations at http://www.fraserhealth.ca/flushot) Flu shots are free in B.C. for all children from six months to five years of age, seniors age 65 and up, pregnant women, aboriginal people and those with chronic health conditions or compromised immune systems.

People planning to visit loved ones in a health care facility or who will take family members to outpatient appointments are also eligible for a free flu shot.

Children have the option of getting the Flumist nasal spray instead of the shot.

An estimated 3,500 Canadians die each year from flu complications – mainly seniors and others with underlying conditions. There are more flu-related fatalities than from all other vaccine-preventable diseases combined.

Drug policy talk set for Nov. 17 Mark Haden talk coincides with National Addiction Awareness Week

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A public health specialist will lead a discussion on drug policy Nov. 17 in Richmond to mark National Addiction Awareness Week.

Hosted by Richmond Addiction Services, the event features a presentation from Mark Haden, an adjunct professor at University of B.C.’s School of Population and Public Health. Haden will be lecturing on the subject of a public health approach to the regulation of illegal drugs.

“Note the many examples of our current drug policies in flux, from marijuana drug law to provincial liquor law review to prescription heroin and the popularity of ecigarettes and vaporizer use. It is important that we remain engaged citizens as we work towards shaping responsible drug policies,” said Danny Taylor, addiction specialist, in a news release.

The event takes place from 1 to 3 p.m. at the John M.S. Lecky UBC Boathouse, 7277 River Rd., and coincides with National Addiction Awareness Week, Nov. 17 to 23.

Admission is free. To reserve a seat, or for more information, e-mail info@richmondaddictions.ca or call 604-270-9220.

EDITORIAL: A tax revolt

A

cabinet revolt underway in Manitoba has seen five senior members of Premier Greg Selinger’s cabinet, including the finance and justice ministers, resign.

The revolt is centred around the premier’s decision to impose a one per cent boost in the provincial sales tax, after specifically promising not to do so in the last provincial election.

While the five cabinet ministers all went along with the plan at first, they now say the premier is not listening to their advice, as the NDP government remains far behind the opposition Progressive Conservatives in the polls.

In addition to breaking its promise not to raise the PST, the Manitoba government violated the Balanced Budget, Fiscal Management and Taxpayer Accountability Act, by refusing to hold a referendum on the increase.

This has stung residents to a fury.

Governments simply do not learn lessons that should be obvious from the mistakes of others. Selinger should have looked to what happened in B.C. when Premier Gordon Campbell imposed the HST on British Columbians, less than two months after an election when the government said bringing in the HST was “not on the radar.”

He and his government did not listen to opposition from citizens and some business groups (others supported the HST) for months.

It took the successful passage of an initiative, which despite a very cumbersome law was certified and put to a vote, to finish off the HST. Even before the people voted against the HST, Campbell’s goose was cooked.

He had the good sense to resign and let others pick up the wreckage, but the damage done to his party and his reputation as a shrewd leader was

enormous.

Manitoba does not have a similar public process such as initiative or recall, which allow the public to react to such cavalier attitudes and actions.

It appears that the ministers who have resigned (none have left the party yet) simply want to try and get Selinger to quit, and he is refusing to do so. It’s a standoff, but it is likely the premier will have to go eventually.

A similar thing happened in Alberta when details of Premier Alison Redford’s penchant for private jet travel and luxurious hotel suites became public knowledge.

Members of her cabinet and caucus revolted, with some leaving the party. She was in the midst of a revolt, and it didn’t take her long to see the writing on the wall and resign.

Governments at all levels — municipal, provincial and federal— need to learn the obvious. It is not a wise move to lie to the public during an

election campaign. In this day of cellphone video and social media, anything that you say will be dredged out as a reminder, should you stray from promises given.

Here in Richmond, this should serve as an important lesson to both voters and politicians seeking seats on the two councils and the board of education. Politicians — tell the truth, and if you have a hidden agenda, don’t promise to do the opposite. Stand up for what you believe in — don’t waffle or obfuscate. As for voters, they need to carefully scrutinize what politicians are saying, and their past deeds, if they are seeking re-election.

If they take a 180-degree turn after the election, hold them to account.

Given that we are now electing these people for four-year terms, the more intense pressure put on them before the election, and the more watchfulness afterwards, the better.

B.C. Views

Tom Fletcher The climate debate, which all left-thinking people insist is over, has erupted in the B.C. legislature over our nascent liquefied natural gas industry.

Chilliwack-Hope B.C. Liberal MLA Laurie Throness heated things up by announcing that he’s “agnostic” on the subject of human-caused global warming. The religious terminology is intentional, he said, because this is how climate change is currently discussed – deniers, believers and so on.

Throness mentioned the inflated elephant in the room, 18 years with little or no average global surface temperature rise, even as greenhouse gas emissions keep rising around the world.

Needless to say, Green Party MLA and climate scientist Andrew Weaver was aghast at this heresy.

And NDP MLAs lined up behind former Sierra Club high priest George Heyman to ridicule Throness, inadvertently proving his point about their rather nasty religious zeal.

I’m also skeptical on global warming, as regular

Shell Canada LNG tanker of the kind that would load at terminals in B.C. to transport gas at high pressure and low temperature.

readers will know, and so are many voting adults in Canada and elsewhere. And I agree with Throness’ main point that B.C. shouldn’t sacrifice its energy economy while the jury is still out.

Most politicians who presume to decide the fate of this vital and threatened industry have at best visited a well or plant site, and media information about the industry is often from questionable protesters.

So today I’d like to provide some background on the natural gas industry, as someone who grew up with it and worked in it in northeastern B.C. Natural gas is mostly methane, the main ingredient in farts. It is many times more potent than carbon dioxide as a heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere,

which is one reason it is often flared rather than vented if it isn’t captured for use as fuel.

Raw natural gas may contain carbon dioxide, a key plant food and component of exhaled breath that has been rebranded as pollution. Gas from the Horn River Basin, one of B.C.’s largest deep shale formations, contains 10 per cent or more CO2, more than conventional gas.

B.C.’s most lucrative gas field is the Montney shale around Fort St. John, which contains nearly CO2-free gas as well as light petroleum liquids.

(This is similar to the Bakken shale in North Dakota, where American roughnecks continue to burn off vast amounts of gas to get at the more valuable light

liquids. Oddly, President Barack Obama and former Canadian singer Neil Young don’t notice this.)

Weaver and the NDP are correct in their main objection, which is that the B.C. government’s new limits on CO2 from LNG production are a sham. As much as 70 per cent of the total greenhouse gas emissions from the gas industry occur before the LNG stage, which is the only thing the new rules regulate.

CO2 that comes up with gas is extracted and vented.

A government-subsidized pilot project to capture and store CO2 at Spectra Energy’s operations at Fort Nelson seems to be going nowhere. Restricting LNGrelated emissions is mostly a cosmetic gesture.

Environment Minister

Mary Polak correctly notes that gas producers pay carbon tax. Yes, but only on the fuel they use, not “process emissions” such as flaring. Big LNG proponents plan to burn more gas to compress and cool LNG, and their greenhouse gas emissions beyond a certain limit will force them to buy carbon offsets or pay into a technology fund.

If LNG investment isn’t scared away by protests and piled-on taxes, it surely means B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets are history. The question now is how much that actually matters.

etc. Norman kept up a steady stream of letters to the editor, attended every all-candidates meeting and Remembrance Day service.

He regularly appeared before city council to remind us of our shortcomings. He was a character, easily dismissed as a bit of a crank.

But on dark, stormy winter nights he would be out on the dykes to ensure the drainage pumps were pumping.

Norman, you see, was not just a taxpayer, he was a citizen.

Norman lived oldfashioned civic virtue.

His relationship to the community was far

more, something grander, than a marketplace exchange of services for taxes paid. He felt responsible for the community, it provided him with a task, a place, and a measure of meaning.

He set an example that is inspirational.

Editor: I fondly remember Norman Wrigglesworth who died recently at age 88.

Norman was a carpenter, with little education. His speech was very direct and without sophistication.

In 1983 when the local papers announced I was a candidate for city council, the first person to call me was Norman.

As soon as I lifted the receiver he bellowed, “Are you a smoker?� It was my first encounter with Norman. He was, I soon learned, an activist opposed to smoking in public places. This at a time when our minister of health, Jim Nielsen, was a two-packs a day smoker, on TV and off TV and four years before then premier VanderZalm’s staff persuaded him to not smoke his pipe in public.

Norman had many causes in addition to smoking: waste at city hall, lights left on, trucks kept running, fire fighters playing cards,

Minister promises more child protection workers

by Tom Fletcher Black Press B.C.’s struggling child protection service will be strengthened by the addition of 200 more social worker and support staff positions over the next two years, Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux says.

The announcement came a day after the union representing staff issued a report saying

they continue to deal with excessive workload and staff shortages due to high staff turnover, unfilled positions and budget cuts.

Cadieux said the additional staff and centralizing of child protection intake screening is a response to the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union report, and previous critical reports by Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen

The BCGEU estimates that 80 per cent of social workers have more than the recommended 20 cases, with nearly half carrying more than 30 and some reporting caseloads of 70 or more.

Cadieux said 70 auxiliary employees are being made permanent immediately, mostly in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, and the target is to bring the total to 200 new positions by the end of 2016. “We’ve heard the concerns of our staff about their workload, about their inability to do all of the things that they feel are necessary,� Cadieux said.

NDP children and family critic Doug Donaldson said help is still far away for rural and northern communities where recruiting and retaining staff is most difficult.

He said the Smithers ministry office has seen 100 per cent turnover of child protection staff in the last three years. “It’s really good that the government has finally

Donaldson said.

A mobile response team is being expanded to help offices with longstanding vacancies cope while new staff is recruited and trained.

Cadieux said the ministry budget has increased by about $47 million since 2008, with another increase set for next year.

Adjusting office hours

and doing more administrative work online or by phone allows the ministry to focus its resources on face-to-face services, she said.

Personal: Really. Good. Thriller.

Book Club

Shelley Civkin

O

MG!!!! I thought Lee Childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book Never Go Back was his best so far, but it turns out I was wrong. Dead wrong.

I just read his recent suspense thriller Personal and was absolutely blown away. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put it down. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 353-pages and took me two days to read. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a slow reader. You get the picture.

Personal is far and away Childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most wellplotted, funny and en-

tertaining novel to date.

He starts out sounding a bit like Robert B. Parker. Using short.

Clipped. Sentences. But then he veers around to his usual, brilliant style and even injects a wicked sense of humour into it all.

Our main character Jack Reacher is an ex-military policeman who stands 6 feet 5 inches and weighs 250 lbs. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got no fixed address and roams the world with nothing but a toothbrush, a passport and a credit card. Unbeknownst to him, his nickname is Sherlock Homeless.

Seeing a personal ad in the Army Times thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meant for him, Reacher once again gets enlisted into a secret branch of the army that carries out classified, high risk operations. This time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really urgent mission.

Reacher is tasked with finding a world-class sniper whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried to shoot the French president. From 1,400 yards.

Luckily he missed, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a G-8 meeting

of world leaders coming up and the major players are worried the assassin might just try again.

When Reacher finds out that one of the prime suspects is none other than John Kott, a guy who Reacher put in jail for 15 years, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy to oblige.

Typically a lone wolf operator, Reacher is forced to pair up with 28-year-old Casey Nice, a bright but inexperienced analyst. She seems competent but when Reacher discovers a bottle of Zoloft in her bag, he wonders if she can handle the heat.

When they discover that Kott still holds a grudge against Reacher, it becomes very personal, as the title suggests. And now Reacher has his very own â&#x20AC;&#x153;pet sniperâ&#x20AC;? to worry about.

Child peppers his story with all sorts of references to three and four-letter government agencies, which just adds to the espionage effect. And the action takes place in three

countries on two continents and features thugs from Serbia, Russia, England and the US. What makes the story so successful is the brilliant plotting, fast pace, great characters and surprise ending. And Childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ramped up sense of humour. Exhibit A: Reacher is about the put duct tape over a taxi driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mouth so that he can steal his car, but before he does, he politely asks: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you breathe well through your nose?â&#x20AC;? to which the taxi driver responds â&#x20AC;&#x153;What?â&#x20AC;?

Reacher asks: â&#x20AC;&#x153;No nasal congestion, no deviated septum, no adenoidal conditions, no current flu-like symptoms?â&#x20AC;? You gotta love that. And you gotta read this!

Fall outerwear trends A Celia Leung FASHION STYLIST

good coat is the key to a stylish wardrobe for the fall and winter seasons. Just think how often we’re spotted in our outerwear during the cooler months in Metro Vancouver. And since our weather can range from sunny, crisp days to freezing wet conditions, it’s

crucial to have a few reliable outerwear options to deal with the various elements and wear for different activities and events.

Two of the biggest outerwear trends of the season involve drape fronts and take inspiration from bedtime essentials. Cozy like a cocoon, blanket coats have a drape front that is worn open since they don’t usually have button or zip closures. A more exaggerated version of the blanket coat

was seen at Chloe and Kenzo, with an almost oversized and puffy, duvet-like quality.

Though they’ll definitely keep you toasty in sub-zero temperatures, a more practical way to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe is with wool versions. Pair with leggings or skinny jeans to balance the oversized shape.

Similar to the blanket coat, the robe coat can also have a drape front, but is more structured and includes a tie or belt closure. This adds definition to the waist, so robe coats look great paired with wide legged trousers for a comfortable, luxe look.

Altuzarra’s two-toned robe coat was one of the highlights from the fall and winter collections.

Capes and ponchos are also trendy outerwear options for the season. A sleeveless garment fastened at the neck, the open sides of a poncho gives it a bohemian, folksy vibe. Etro and Roberto Cavalli both rocked the poncho coat at their shows.

Meanwhile, the

cape was given the fairytale treatment at Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino, embellished with embroidery and beading. Play with proportions when wearing a cape or poncho and contrast with a more streamlined, slim fit pants or leggings.

Taking a cue from menswear, oversized coats are another huge trend. With the roomy fit, oversized coats are great for layering knits on especially cold days.

Look for clean lines, wide lapels and neutral tones in an oversized coat. Play up the masculinity with loafers or oxfords, or go the unexpected route by throwing an oversized coat over a frilly skirt or dress.

For the sportier fashionistas, parkas are a stylish yet practical option for the colder months. Parkas usually come with plenty of pockets and a hood — perfect for warming cold hands and shielding your head from the rain.

In terms of textures, fur, shearling and mixed media are big for fall. Shearling coats were shown at the major shows such as Prada and Burberry.

Fur, whether faux or real, is always popular for fall fashion.

So it’s no wonder the rage would extend into outerwear.

But this season, break from the traditional neutrals and go for a colourful statement piece. Vibrant fur coats were seen at Fendi, Balmain, and Alexander McQueen.

Coats and jackets made out of mixed media are also great for the season. Look for coats combining wool and leather, for example, or a down jacket detailed with

shearling. Providing the best of both fabrics, the different textures in mixed media coats can create an interesting contrast aesthetically.

Other outerwear details that are on trend are threequarter length coats and collarless necklines.

With a rounded, minimalistic neckline, collarless coats are easy to wear with turtleneck sweaters and scarves without adding bulk. Threequarter length coats were embraced by designers at Celine, Miu Miu and Christian Dior.

The longer overcoats are reminiscent of a more dressed up and polished era, so pairing one with a holiday dress would be an elegant way to bring in some glamour.

With the many outerwear trends this season, there’s bound to be a jacket or coat to suit your style and

Don Fennell photo Fresh off a memorable hat trick Thursday against the Langley Knights, Richmond Sockeye Troy Kaczynski and his teammates were scheduled to renew acquaintances with the Delta Ice Hawks Tuesday at the Ladner Leisure Centre. Kaczynski leads the Pacific Junior Hockey League in scoring with 45 points in 20 games.

Kaczynski completes hat trick on OT penalty shot

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Troy Kaczynski has been the Richmond Sockeyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; go-to guy all season long. So it should be no surprise he stepped up again Thursday when it mattered most.

This time, however, the Pacific Junior Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading scorer added a limit drama to his performanceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;scoring on a penalty shot 42 seconds into overtime to complete a hat trick and lift the Sockeyes to a 5-4 win over the visiting Langley Knights at Minoru Arenas.

Kaczynski, who now has 23

goals and 45 points in just 20 games, scored his first of three goals against Langley with 13 seconds to play in the opening period. It was perhaps as important as his winning goal in that it stemmed the tide after the Knights had take a 2-0 lead 50 seconds earlier after opening the scoring just 1:40 into the game.

Then after Langley restored control following a two-goal second period, Kaczynski again steped to the plate in the third; his powerplay goal at 5:42 again cutting the deficit to a single goal following a powerplay tally

by Tyler Andrews just over two

minutes earlier.

Another prominent Sockeye all season long, Daniel Oakleyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; third in league scoring with 32 pointsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sent the game into overtime with his 16th goal of the season at 17:45. It was Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 19th shot of the period.

The Sockeyes went on to outshoot Langley 8-4 in overtime and 50-48 overall in the wide open affair.

Richmond (15-3-0-2) was scheduled to play at the Delta Ice Hawks (9-8-0-0) Tuesday night and will host the Grandview Steelers (9-9-0-0) Thursday at Minoru Arenas. Faceoff is 7 p.m.

Howell makes the grade Nolan Howell has been selected to play for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under-18 rugby side during its upcoming three-game tour of Romania.

The Hugh McRoberts Secondary graduate, who recorded a pair of tries to power B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provincial team to a victory over Ontario in the final of the national festival last August in Calgary, is one of 10 B.C. players named to the Canadian team coached by Jim Delaney.

The Canadian squad will meet in Frankfurt on Nov. 13 and then head to Bucharest to begin the three-game tour.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play the Romanian under-19 team twice, as well as their under-18 side once. The squad again expects a tough forward battle from the Romanians. While in camp, the squad will be focusing on the kicking game and their ability to counter attack as well as keeping the ball alive and playing running rugby. Also important to note is that many of these players will be looking for spots on Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2015 Junior World Rugby Trophy team that will travel to Portugual, while others are aiming for spots on the 2016 and 2017 teams.

Given that the game’s rich Richmond history dates back to the early 1900s, when the Farmers and Milkmaids were field lacrosse stalwarts, it only seems appropri-

ate that it be the first sport played on the new Minoru 2 artificial turf.

Part of a major redevelopment in the iconic city centre park, the field was in play this past weekend as the Richmond Lacrosse Association hosted its fifth annual Roadrunner Romp which con-

tinued through Remembrance Day. Some 50 teams—three representing the host association— competed in the invitational which featured teams at the under-12, under-14 and under-16 age groups.

A big comeback,â&#x20AC;?said proud McRoberts coach Trish Nicholson, who in the second set watched her team reel off 12 consecutive pointsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with veteran Melissa Zayas servingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to complete an improbable comeback for a 25-23 victory.

McRoberts had won the opening set 25-20, but McMath roared out to a 23-13 lead in the second before the Strikersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;drama unfolded. McRoberts (10-0 in league play) then secured the playoff title with a third-set 25-19 victory over McMath, 9-1 in league play.

McRoberts will now focus their attention on the Lower Mainland AAA zone playoffs, which theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll host Thursday and Saturday. One of four tickets to the provincial championships in Parksville later this month will be on the line at the 12-team event.

Though the Strikers are very youngâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the starting lineup is mostly Grade 11sâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a talented team with great potential. Nicholson loves their skill set, and believes they are beginning to add a competitive edge characteristic of championship clubs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it bodes well for us,â&#x20AC;? she said.

McRoberts is ranked No. 1 in the Lower Mainlands, which earns them a favourable draw-versus a still-to-bedetermined wildcard teamâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; to open tournament play Thursday at 4 p.m. The Strikers will play again at 6:20 p.m., with a victory assuring them of a spot in the playoffs Saturday. Those games begin at 9:30 a.m. and should wrap up with the final games around 3:45 p.m.

Nicholson is encouraging her team to â&#x20AC;&#x153;seize the day.â&#x20AC;?

Phone: 604-251-2121 Email: okaban@telus.net www.kabanprotective.com Alexa Loo, why are you running for council?

I grew up in Richmond, playing in the parks, participating in the programs and using the facilities here. I enjoyed the children’s community centre programs so much that I went on become a leader in training at South Arm and taught the same programs.

In high school, I participated on the Richmond Junior Council – I got to experience a council meeting from Mayor Gill Blair’s Chair!

My experiences shaped me. I grew up healthy and happy and I have become a Chartered Accountant, a 2 Time Olympian, an executive coach, a KidSport Champion, a mom and a wife.

I want to serve as a Councillor for Richmond in order to ensure that our kids have the same opportunities that I did so that they can reach their potential. I would also like to look after the older generation who made Richmond and gave us our opportunities.

What do you want to accomplish?

I want Richmond to continue to be the healthiest city in Canada.

Physical and mental health:

Ensuring healthy nutritious food is available by protecting our farms and T fisheries.

Increasing daycare spaces for children and seniors.

T Protecting accessible green spaces where we can interact, play and relax.

T Ensuring that the new Minoru Aquatic and Seniors’ Centre is completed T

Guindon stars for Chaos

on-time and on budget.

Safety — ensuring the feeling of safety of residents and businesses:

Adequate and well-planned sidewalks, paths, roads and bridges for getting T

Local women’s soccer side now undefeated in nine Richmond Sonics got the early goal, but crosstown rival Chaos the victory when the two front-runners in the Metro Women’s Soccer League’s Third Division met Sunday at London Park.

Losers of just a single game, and the only team to take a point off the Chaos this season, the Sonics made the most of an early break scoring in the 11th minute on a scramble following a corner kick. Chaos keeper Victoria Groff said the ball seemed to sit in one spot forever before a striker finally put it into the back of the net.

But it was the only goal Groff would surrender, as the Chaos rallied to score a 3-1 victory and improved to 8-0-1 on the year. They’ll face another Richmond side, Hodder Tugs (4-4-0) next Sunday at 5 p.m. at Hugh Boyd Park, while the

Sonics (5-2-2) vist winless New Westminster United at 2 p.m. at Moody Park.

Taylor Bakken knotted the score at 1-1 in the 22nd minute, resulting from a stray ball after a Chaos corner kick by centermidfielder Kia Guindon.

Guindon’s ball dropped right in front of the Chaos striker and the quick Bakken made no mistake from six yards out.

Like the opening 45 minutes, the second half started with close checking before the Chaos was awarded another corner kick eight minutes in.

Guindon teed the ball up and her arching ball found the foot of charging Chaos striker Jasmine Mann. The ball found the back of the net.

Undaunted, the Sonics pressed while the Chaos was quick to counter at-

tack. The keepers of both teams (Sonics had Terri Calvert and Tina Meadows share the duties with a half each, while Groff went the distance for the Chaos) had to be sharp.

Guindon, who was in on all the Chaos goals, earned another assist in the last scoring play of the game in the 60th minute, with a strong cross to the front of the Sonic net. Chaos outside midfielder Jayde

around safely and being active outside.

Ensuring fire, policing and medical services keep pace with our growth.

T Reviewing and enforcing safety bylaws.

T

Jessome, battling a Sonic defender all the way to the net, met up with the ball a yard out on the far side of the Sonic goal. Forward momentum put the ball, Jessome and the defender into the Sonic goal.

Groff credited her defensive four Sarah Little, Alison Ikeda, Jen Forsberg and Jackie Mortlock for keeping most of the Sonic shots to long balls with poor shooting angles.

Economic Health:

Financial prudence with tax dollars. T Ensuring a mix of housing options.

T My motto is: Aim High, Work Hard and Give Back – And that is what I will do on Council.
