Should developers pay more?

Nov 5 . 1

Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

On the corner of No. 2 Road and Moncton Street, several large trees have been chopped down and an old home was bulldozed to the ground recently. In its place, four narrow homes, with a patch of grass not fit for Snoopy, will be built.

Further north, city councillors are mulling over a 133-unit townhome development on the former Steveston High site.

When developers densify land, more burden is placed on public infrastructure.

One complaint commonly found amongst longtime Richmondites is the city’s seemingly unchecked growth.

Development cost charges (DCCs) address things such as road infrastructure, parks, sewers, and pipes. They also vary amongst neighbourhoods (City Centre developers are funding a new Canada Line station at Capstan Way). While Steveston High developer Polygon will be charged for upgrading such things, it will also need to pay community amenity charges (CACs) such as a planned $3.3 million childcare facility as well as affordable housing units.

While DCCs are based on essential infrastructure needs, city council can decide what to charge a developer for CACs, and therein lies the question: With the city claiming that about $4 billion worth of development is on the go, at various stages, does the city charge developers enough money when neighbourhoods densify?

According to Anne McMullin, president of the Urban Development Institute, an association promoting the real estate

With common complaints about rapid growth , can city councillors ask more from developers? Photo by Graeme Wood/Richmond News development industry, only Richmond, Vancouver and North Vancouver have CACs. McMullin said CACs are generally demanded where densification occurs, to help support “the social side of development.”

Polygon’s Steveston High development would add about 400 new residents and 200-plus cars to an area that was planned decades ago.

As such, the city is also asking for parkland.

“If you go into a brand new neighbourhood, you’re not impacting them as much as old ones,” explained McMullin.

Hence, Surrey, which is rich in land, does not ask for CACs, but it charges more than Richmond for DCCs, likely because it’s building new infrastructure that is more spread out, explained Jeff Arason, Surrey’s manager of engineering.

McMullin said CACs can result in higher housing costs. Furthermore, charge too much and developers will walk away.

“It’s a balance of what the municipality wants and what the development can afford,” she said.

A recent example of how CACs played out was in the Hamilton neighbourhood earlier

this year, when council passed a community plan that aims to densify the area.

Dana Westermark, of Oris Consulting, who represented the developers involved in the area plan, argued the city ought not to ask for money for a bigger school because the area needed a bigger school prior to (not as a result of) development. However, he did agree that since there would be a significant “land lift” — meaning the value of the land would rise significantly because of rezoning — developers would pay $19.2 million in CACs for additional community centre and library space, more police and various other items. They will also pay $11.2 million in DCCs for a waterfront park (since so few people will have a backyard).

McMullin notes developers will still make money off construction of the townhomes.

City council chose to take $19.2 million, which was 85 per cent of the lift. It did not accept options of taking 62 or 100 per cent.

Then there is the issue of the city’s affordable housing strategy, which largely consists of subsidized- to low-end market rentals, but also includes the likes of

emergency shelters and entry level ownership.

Richmond is the only city in Metro Vancouver that requires developers to actually build affordable rental units (five per cent) in developments over 80 units. However, the city hasn’t always followed through on that, instead accepting cash-in-lieu.

That said, the city is now using some of that cash-in-lieu ($17 million) to help build a 129unit complex for vulnerable residents.

The city also recently spent about $21 million on the Kiwanis seniors’ complex, leaving its affordable housing reserve relatively empty.

While, for the most part, the devil is in the details when it comes to development levies, how city councillors manage those details in large part determines how a city grows. With an impending civic election, candidates are being challenged on where they sit on the continuum between unfettered growth and debilitating development charges. Most will say in the middle, but residents will soon decide if a candidate’s middle, lines up with their middle.

Candidates jostle over challenges

Matt Pitcairn: “Limit terms”

Two of Richmond’s youngest candidates for the Nov. 15 election jostled over who would accept who’s challenge first.

School trustee candidate Matt Pitcairn, a policy manager at the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, running with the Richmond Community Coalition, challenged all

candidates to sign two term limits starting this year. RCC’s logic is that fresh faces on council is good for fostering new ideas.

The challenge didn’t go unnoticed by city council candidate Michael Wolfe of RITE Richmond, who responded on Twitter, noting the RCC hadn’t accepted RITE’s initial challenge

of disclosing financial donations, as RITE has done this campaign.

“Try disclosing your group’s financial contributions preelection, first. Councillors should be trustworthy before shortlived,” said Wolfe, a high school

teacher, who believes pre-election disclosures allow citizens to know who is backed by who.

One of RCC’s candidates is Coun. Ken Johnston, who’s served on and off council since 1993.

Flashmob focuses on safety Philip Raphael

Staff Reporter praphael@richmond-news.com

Richmond RCMP, along with a host of other emergency service personnel, city staff and school children briefly shut down one of the city’s busiest intersections Thursday morning to draw awareness to pedestrian safety.

Jiving to the Bee Gees’ 1970s hit Stayin’Alive, the group disco danced across No. 3 and Saba roads as commuters crowded the adjacent streets, many with smartphones, iPods and touchscreen tablets recording the spectacle.

Following the event, volunteers handed out some of the 10,000 reflective discs provided by ICBC that pedestrians can clip on to their clothing to make them more visible to motorists, especially during the dark fall and winter months.

RCMP spokeswoman Cpl. Stephanie Ashton said

604.684.2772 | absolutespa.com

Fall Firming Facial Saba and No 3 roads was closed briefly to traffic as a flashmob helped boost awareness of pedestrian safety.

View a video of the event at richmond-news.com. Photo by Philip Raphael/Richmond News the campaign called SLOW (Stop, Look, Observe, Walk) is designed to change the culture of pedestrians in the city — with an emphasis on recent immigrants who may not be in line with local pedestrian safety standards.

“With the diverse population we have here, in many places when you walk out into the street the cars move around you,” Ashton said. “That’s not the way traffic moves in B.C., and particularly Richmond.

Ashton added, the campaign is designed to educate pedestrians that they need to stop and ensure they make eye contact with motorists before stepping off the curb.

“Last year we had nine, fatal pedestrian crashes, and 21 very serious incidents, and we were able to attribute that to people walking in dark clothing, jaywalking, and going out into traffic without really stopping to have a look,” Ashton said.

COURT

Moses’ driver gets 2 years A man who pleaded guilty to a drunk driving incident that killed two of his friends has been jailed for two years.

Ryan Webster — who earlier admitted two counts of operating a motor vehicle with a blood-alcohol level over .08 causing death — was sentenced to two years less a day, three years probation and a five-year driving ban, following a crash along the southern end of No. 4 Road which claimed the lives of brothers Shane, 19, and Jess Moses, 16.

The crown had asked for a three-year sentence for Webster, who is now 23.

In an unusual move, the family of the victims called for a lighter sentence.

“He didn’t mean for it to happen at all,” Jerry Jorger, the victims’ grandfather told Global News. “It’s just one of those things when people are young and they do stupid things, and sometimes it doesn’t work out.”

Webster’s lawyer, Vincent Michaels, said his client took full responsibility for his actions from the very beginning and expressed remorse and shame.

Chinese passport charges A Richmond man planned to help at least 165 people obtain Canadian citizenship by committing fraud, according to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).

Charges related to immigration fraud have been laid against Xun Wang, who is alleged to have been involved in a “significant” immigration scheme, said border officials.

Wang, an immigration consultant, is said to have lied about applicant’s residency status by creating a fictitious appearance of permanent residency, a precursor to citizenship.

Wang is also charged with one count of tax invasion and two counts of fraudulently obtaining refunds or credits under the Income Tax Act.

Mountie pleads guilty A Richmond RCMP officer with a history of assault pleaded guilty to breach of trust Tuesday in Richmond Provincial Court.

Const. Kenrick Whitney was facing charges of theft under $5,000 and breach of trust for alleged crimes that took place while on duty.

Whitney’s other charges have been dropped by the Crown and he will be sentenced Jan. 13. The RCMP is seeking his dismissal.

In June 2013, Whitney, a former BC Lion, was suspended from duty and he was stripped of his police identification. ! Full stories by Philip Raphael & Graeme Wood/Richmond News at richmond-news. com

Still waiting for the bus(es)

T

he Compass Card system is facing another delay, another technical glitch. TransLink is working on it, of course.

TransLink has been working on perfecting their not-quite-ready-for-primetime system for well over a year. In fact, the Compass Card system was a year overdue as of this past summer. The cards have difficulty “tapping out” of buses, which could mean being charged for a three-zone ride after taking the bus a mere mile.

At the province’s behest, money has been poured into fare gates for the Canada Line and on a card system that seems to be broken, while new bus routes are few and far between.

There is no new money, we are told again and again. Meanwhile, the population grows, the need expands, and people continue to

wait for the bus that doesn’t come.

There could have been a referendum on TransLink funding as of this Nov. 15, with the civic elections. That was pushed off to 2015, too.

We still don’t know what the question will be for this future vote.

Meanwhile, the vote only serves to distract attention from the fact that the province has no interest whatsoever in helping put more people on buses. TransLink, for all its real and perceived faults, cannot raise more money without Victoria giving it new powers, or without raising property taxes, a move no one particularly wants.

So here we sit, winter coming in, the days getting darker, the weather wetter. And all the transit users and would-be transit users have to stand and fume, like people stuck in the rain waiting for a bus that’s always late.

A better book will often admit that they aren’t sure about X, problems. Among other things, it causes a time-skip that wipes out most of the Saxon don’t know exactly where Y happened, and kingdoms in England, as well as Alfred the that there is some debate over whether Z was Great and most of the Viking invasions. It as important as previously thought. eliminates the birth, rise, and spread of Islam This is where you get historical conspiracy across the Middle East, North Africa, and theories, ideas that radically re-write history Spain, pretty much the entire Tang Dynasty in to scratch that itch at the back of the mind China, a couple of dozen Byzantine emperors, caused by doubt. the rise and fall of the Tibetan Empire, and so Take the Phantom Time Hypothesis, which forth. has been kicking around since the late 1990s, When it comes to how so much history mostly in Europe. could have been added into the calendar, Heribert Illig is a German scholar who Illig essentially believes that events outside believes that almost 300 years of European Europe were dated wrongly in comparison history was made up as part of a conspiracy to his timeline (strange that none of them

and multiple nations were simply fabricated.

Jesuits and Cabbalistic numbers are, of course, involved.

Illig was inspired by Immanuel Velikovsky, a psychologist who had earlier re-written history based on an even more odd idea – he thought that planets had knocked around in the Solar System, bringing random catastrophe to Earth in the historic past. He thought Venus had been spat out of Jupiter like a watermelon seed, and that Mars had later wandered in close to Earth as well. His ideas deny everything we know about physics going back at least to Newton.

Velikovsky’s theories are only slightly more outlandish than those of 19th century American politician Ignatius L. Donnelly, who believed that Atlantis was a scientifically advanced ancient society wiped out by a natural catastrophe – he’s the one who introduced this common idea into our pop culture, so we at least have him to thank for Aquaman.

Off to one side is Gavin Menzies, who claimed that the Chinese Treasure Fleets of the 1400s travelled further than believed (plausible) that they discovered North America (dubious) and finally that they made it all the way to Venice, where the Italians cribbed Chinese ideas to kickstart the entire Renaissance (nope).

Made up history isn’t more exciting than real history. Real history does have comets and conspiracies and mad tyrants and love stories and heroes. But it is messy. It doesn’t make much sense as a story, with a nice neat ending or a single explanation for everything.

That’s where these re-written histories find their origin. They impose more order than history naturally contains.

Rather than saying that there’s a lot we still don’t know, a lot we may never know, they give us the comforting and false sense that the world makes sense.

Blue Dot salutes you The Editor, On behalf of the Richmond Blue Dot group, we’d like to extend our sincere thanks and congratulations to Mayor (Malcolm) Brodie and all the Richmond city councillors who unanimously passed a resolution at the council meeting on Oct. 14, stating that the citizens of Richmond have the right to a healthy environment.

Thank you also to the Blue Dot volunteers, community organizations, and the citizens of Richmond who signed our petition. Without your help and support, this historic declaration would not have been possible.

The City of Richmond is on the leading edge of environmental policies and solutions.

Now, the right to a healthy environment will help guide the community’s direction and ensure that the citizens of Richmond have the right to fresh air, clean water, and healthy food.

As volunteers of the David Suzuki Foundation, the local Richmond Blue Dot group looks forward to helping shape a healthy future for the people we love and to preserve the places we love. If you’d like to learn more, check out our Facebook page or go to www.bluedot.ca.

Congratulations to all the citizens of Richmond. You’re among the first people in Canada to enjoy the right to a healthy environment!

Campaign for aging in place The Editor, Our many candidates for mayor and council seem to all be espousing a concern for housing in Richmond.

I hope they will be including visitability standards for future builds. Visitability is an internationally espoused movement with the goal of ensuring all homes fit minimum accessibility standards.

This ensures that, as we “age in place,” we will be able to still make full use of our homes.

Visitability includes a zero-step entrance, a minimum bathroom on the ground floor, as well as no-cost adjustments inside that facilitate future

adaptations when needed.

It’s similar to “Universal Design,” except the focus includes universal access while focusing on preventing harmful isolation.

The cost to the home buyer is negligible, but the added value (monetary and quality of living) is unmeasureable.

I invite you, also, to write your city representatives and contact your realtor and developer friends/etc. to urge them to place the utmost priority on this aspect of making this already excellent community even better for all our aging years.

George Pope Richmond

Road rage subsiding, I think?

The Editor, I’m hoping this is a trend; these past few weeks, I’ve experienced and witnessed more incidents of restraint and courtesy by Richmond drivers.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2014

Thank you all; your tolerance might well prevent accidents and save lives.

Sadly, we all still see too frequent and sometimes spectacular

results of impatience and thoughtlessness on the part of drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

We can do better.

SCHOOL TRUSTEES

Voters need smart thinking The Editor, Parents who might be concerned about how qualified and capable teachers are might also consider being as concerned about the same issues in regards to the people who are elected as school trustees.

There are quite a few distinctly different educational philosophies and opinions about what the role of public education should be and the ideal composition of a school board is one that has as much of an equal

representation of all of them as possible.

And although it doesn’t occur nearly as often as it should, it would also be preferable if at least some of the trustees that are elected actually have a background in public education.

We do our children no favours if, on voting day, we simply select names at random from the list of school trustee candidates and have no idea what kind of educational philosophy and goals they will promote during their tenure.

Our children’s future is too precious to let this domain of the management of our public education system be determined by nothing more than a dartthrowing exercise on the part of voters.

House: A labour of love for Jordan

HALLOWEEN

‹ from page 10 I’ve been in there that long!”

As for what it has cost him to put on the magical, free displays for 30 plus years — that have wowed generations of kids in Richmond — Jordan was reticent to add it all up, or even contemplate the dollar value.

“I don’t want to give out financial details. It’s my hobby,” he said.

“I spend $100 here and there all the time on light bulbs and extension cords. A tin of paint costs $60 these days and then there’s plywood all the time.”

Donations are always welcome, added Jordan, but “it doesn’t even touch the surface of the cost.

“I do spend a lot of money on it and, after 33 years, the value of the displays must run into thousands and thousands of dollars.

“It is completely free, however, and I would not want a single parent with three kids to think he or she has to make a donation; I don’t expect a thing from anyone. As I said, I love doing this.”

Tim Jordan, left, gets to work on his alien ‘patient.’

He reckons he’s spent tens of thousands of dollars over three decades on his weird and wonderful Halloween displays. Photos by Gord Goble/Special to the News ! See Goble’s full gallery of pictures at richmondnews.com

Jordan hasn’t added anything “new,” per se, this year, but that doesn’t mean it’s not better than it was the year before. Not by a long shot.

And if you’re worried the haunted house might be too much for the little ones, Jordan is always careful to make sure everyone can enjoy his work.

“Hell’s Gate Cavern has five new demons,” he said.

“This year, I mainly added things to the current displays, there is a Glow Gallery Carnival though, that you have to enter through a clown’s mouth.

“It’s all black-lit in there, so everything glows. It’s 100 per cent family fun, though, with a low-scare rating for sure.

“I do have some edgy stuff, but I don’t like getting the crap scared out of me either!”

Jordan’s “Haunted Hallowfest 2014,” as he’s calling it this year, was open 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. every night up to and including Oct. 31 at his home at 1051 Hudson Ave. in Burkeville on Sea Island.

t sprawls out over his entire 40 by 120-foot yard, fills up five tents, encroaches into his garage and surrounds the outsides of his single-family home.

Oh, and over 33 years, he’s probably spent tens of thousands of dollars on it and devoted the majority of his waking hours shaping it into one of Richmond’s bestknown Halloween haunted houses.

In fact, it’s more of a theme park than a haunted house, and if Tim Jordan had his way at his home in Burkeville, he’d be working on his amazing displays 365 days a year.

The only reason he takes a break in December and January, said Jordan, is that his wife “wants her living room back and wants to put up a green tree or something.

“I usually start physically putting up the main displays about Labour Day, but it’s really an all year round thing;

building new figures and new displays and preparing sets.“Some guys are golfing, some guys are fishing; this is what I do. I’m on Craigslist every day to find something new for the displays.”

Jordan — who runs his own catering company, Jordan’s Caterers, from his home with his wife — has been hooked on the haunted house genre ever since his parents took him as a wide-eyed 11-year-old to the haunted house at Disneyland.

From then on, it’s been an obsession, of sorts, for Jordan, beginning in his parents’ home and finally his own garage more than three decades ago.

“I do it because I love it and it’s my hobby,” said an enthused Jordan.

“I’ve been fascinated by this kind of thing since I was a kid and when I came home from Disneyland, I started building my own.

“Now, my garage actually stinks like a haunted house,

Consistency or adventure?

SipsHappen Eric Hansen

M

ost of us are fairly consistent in our habits.

When it comes to wine, we usually continue to buy and enjoy our tried and true favourites.

When I want to serve a really good chardonnay in my wine classes, I pick a Sebastiani from Sonoma County, California. Like its slightly more prestigious neighbour, the Napa Valley, Sonoma makes some of California’s best wines.

And Sonoma is larger and more scenic than its rival.

Year in and year out, the Sebastiani Chard is one of the most popular wines in my wine classes. The 2012 version is right on track. Sebastiani has been making wines since 1904 when Samuele Sebastiani emigrated from Italy to Sonoma.

During prohibition when winemaking became illegal, this winery was one of the few that stayed in business.

Sebastiani sold barrels of grape juice with a packet of yeast on top with a helpful message on top, “Warning!

Do not add yeast to juice.

Alcohol will result!”

The 2012 Sebastiani Chardonnay ($21) is golden due to the natural colour of its juice as well as the oak aging that many chards undergo before bottling.

It has an enticing bouquet of ripe apples, lemon peel, plus a gentle whiff of vanilla. What’s not to like?

But savour a taste and there’s more to enjoy. The flavour is creamy, with golden delicious apples and butterscotch. It’s elegant and well balanced with the fruit, oak, and acid in equal partnership. After swallowing, there is a lengthy hazelnut and citrus finish to relish. I think I like this!

Much as I like tasting old reliables, I enjoy trying new wines even more. I think I have inherited my smorgasbord approach to life, thanks to my Swedish grand-parents.

Recently, I have discovered a new

Sebastiani, the 2012 cabernet sauvignon ($22).

It’s dark ruby appearance in the glass is classic for a cab. Cabernet sauvignon has very thick skins and it’s the skins that gives a wine its colour. The bouquet has dark fruits such as plum, blackberry, cranberry, cassis, as well as suggestions of cola, licorice, and vanilla.

Sipping the Sebastiani

Cab reveals a rich blackcurrant flavour, the typical tea leaf undertones from subtle oak aging, with enough tannins to provide structure but soft enough to enjoy now.

As with all red wines, you will enjoy it much more if you decant it by pouring into a decanter or some other container. This will aerate the wine, allowing its bouquet and flavour to

A19

evolve and reveal more of their charm.

Cabernet sauvignon is wonderful alongside hearty red meat dishes such as prime rib, short ribs, and lamb. Make sure you splash some of the cab into the pan juices along with some beef stock to add more richness and complexity.

You have to admire a vehicle manufacturer that actually has the patience to

subscribe to an evolutionary philosophy when it comes to design themes.

Mazda is one such builder. And evidence of its adherence to shape and

form comes with its new CX-5 crossover model for 2015.

Thanks to just a tweak here and a shift there, the new model retains the

strong, and now familiar character lines the brand is blending into just about all of its offerings without opting for a wholesale makeover that must be

appealing to marketing types keen on satisfying today’s masses that seem to have ever-dwindling attention spans.

After all, the CX-5 first rolled into view in 2012 and has had subtle updates to its KODO — Soul of Motion design — to keep it fresh in the minds of potential buyers looking for a compact vehicle with a contemporary look.

The 2015 comes in three model trims: GX, GS, and top of the line GT. The GX is fitted with a 2.0 litre, four cylinder engine that subscribes to Mazda’s Skyactiv technology that not only provides leaner burning engines, but lighter components to help reduce fuel consumption through weight reduction.

The 2.0 litre power plant turns out a respectable 155 horses — which is no stump-puller. But then again, that’s not what the CX-5 is about.

If you need better numbers from under the hood, the GS and GT comes equipped with a 2.5

litre Skyactiv engine that produces 184 horses.

Consumption numbers from Mazda put the 2.0 litre’s appetite between 8.9 to 9.3 litres/100 km in the city and 6.8 to 7.6 on the highway. The range accounts for your choice of front or all wheel drive which have different curb weights.

Opt for the 2.5 litre and the consumption marginally rises to 9.6 to 9.9 litres in the city and 7.4 to 7.9 litres on the open road. Not bad for a vehicle that is about 150 kg heavier.

Price-wise, the CX-5 is pretty trim with the base model GX starting at $22,995. On the other end of the spectrum is GT, coming in at $33,495, which accounts for the bigger engine and a host of options including leather seats, 19-inch alloy wheels, an upgraded Bose sound system, and dual zone climate controls.

Overall, the CX-5 is a tidy package which should keep Mazda in its newfound position as one of the more appealing nameplates currently out there.

Mazda’s CX-5 offers three trim levels and two engine choices that feature the fuel efficient, Skyactiv equipment that cuts down weight and consumption. Photo submitted

Model A revived for new rally Philip Raphael

After travelling the better part of 12,247 kilometres along some of the most inhospitable roads and trails in the world during the Paris Motoring Challenge (Peking to Paris) in the late spring of 2013, Gary Anderson’s 1930 Ford Model A Cabriolet was finally stopped in its tracks, just a few blocks from his home.

A driver making a lefthand turn a few weeks ago slammed into the driver’s side of the vintage rag top, bending it’s frame and undoing around $50,000 worth of refurbishments Anderson had made following the international rally.

The impact left Anderson in a neck brace and his beloved Model A in pieces, but he is undeterred and is embarking on his next

motoring adventure — The Road to Mandalay that gets rolling Feb. 1 - 25 from Malaysia to Myanmar (Burma) .

First thing he did was get his car back in the shop — Richmond’s Juan’s Auto Service — to have the damage repaired in time to have it shipped halfway across the world to Singapore and the luxurious Raffles Hotel where the rally of vintage autos starts.

Anderson, 76, a Vancouver commercial real estate owner who was part of a group that revitalized Granville Island, said he was keen to get back in the driver’s seat again and enlisted the assistance of his longtime rally companion, Enrico Dobrzenski, to join him.

To get the Model A ready meant a marathon of repairs with the help of a Model A specialist — Jack Harrison — and some upgrades

Photo by Philip Raphael/Richmond News that included a new, more powerful engine.

“It’s got 90 horsepower now, pretty much double what it had before,” Anderson said. “It was drastically underpowered before and made life tough on hills. Now we’ll be able to increase our speed on the inclines from about 20 to about 30 or even 40 miles per hour.”

But the recent road

accident required getting a whole new frame, plus a myriad of other repairs and parts to finish the job.

“ICBC wanted to write it off,” Anderson said, who was not going to junk his prized possession. “It had only been out of the garage for four hours.

WOMEN’S HOCKEY

Devils off to red hot start

Richmond opens season with five wins in first seven games

The hosts of the 2014-15 B.C. Hockey Female “A” Championships are looking like serious contenders.

The Richmond Devils are off to a terrific start in the South Coast Female Hockey League as they work their way through a 22-week regular season — leading up to the provincials, March 26-29 at the Richmond Ice Centre. The Devils will take a 5-1-1 record into their 7 p.m. Saturday encounter with the B.C. Thunder at RIC’s Igloo Rink.

The Devils are coming off a weekend split on the Island against the Victoria Phantoms.

They opened the series with a 4-0 win, before falling 2-0 on Sunday morning.

Alex Yallouz paced the Devils with two goals and an assist in the opener, with Sabrina Wong, Jodie Wong and Simran Sidhu adding one each.

Kasey Schell earned the shutout, making

12 saves.

In the rematch Sunday, the Devils fired 34 shots at Melinda Choy, but the Victoria netminder stopped them all for her first shutout of the season.

The results leave the Devils one point back of South Fraser TNT (6-0-0), while the defending league champion Meadow Ridge Moose are lurking in third.

Yallouz currently leads the league in scoring with 14 points in five games, including eight goals.

She had a five point night, including a hat trick, in Richmond’s 8-3 win over the Thunder back on Oct. 18. She then added four more points, with a pair of goals, in a 4-1 win the next day over the Trinity Western University Titans. The productive weekend earned her league player of the week honours.

The host Richmond Ravens enjoyed an impressive showing at their Pacific Coast Female Rep Hockey Classic over the weekend, reaching the finals in all three divisions. Richmond captured the Midget Division while the Bantam Ravens (above) dropped an overtime heartbreaker to Surrey. The Pee Wee A1 Ravens (left) lost to Tri-City. Photos by Mark Booth

Join us in standing on guard for Cpl. Nathan Cirillo When Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was standing guard at the National War Museum on October 22, he was representing all of us. His task was to honour the sacrifices of the men and women in our Armed Forces who have died protecting our values. Now he is one of the fallen.

Glacier Media, which owns this newspaper, has started a memorial campaign on its crowdfunding site, FundAid. The money will be donated to a trust fund for his young son. Both FundAid and Fundrazr, our crowdfunding partner, have waived the service fees. Please join us in paying tribute to his sacrifice.
