Really?

W

as it just me, or was there a bigger turnout than usual at Remembrance Day ceremonies locally and across Canada?

Attendance at the Richmond event has been sneaking up of late and, when I watched the official proceedings in Ottawa earlier in the morning on TV, Lisa La Flamme was waxing lyrical about the inflated crowd.

With my son in Ladner for a soccer game Wednesday lunchtime, we decided to take in the ceremony there, where men and women of all ages, boys, girls, and a few dogs, packed into Memorial Park.

It was truly heartening to see the uptick in acknowledgment and honouring of the occasion which had, for too many, meant little more than just another day off work or school.

For me — as the second hand edged toward 11 a.m. and I stood in the sombre hush of the two-minute silence, trying to fight back an errant tear — it was about reflecting.

Reflecting, as I glanced at the veterans who lost buddies and families who lost loved ones, on how fleeting and fragile life really is. Reflecting on what’s really important and what’s not. Reflecting on where our energies and passions should really be channeled and how we are often — and I include myself — quick to anger over about the most ridiculous things, instead of appreciating what we have right in front of our eyes.

It was in that moment of reflection that I, bizarrely, with head bowed, couldn’t help but focus on the two, empty, winter-themed,Tim Hortons coffee cups at my feet.

Where am I going with this? Well, apparently, there’s a bunch of folks with skinny latté froth bubbling out their mouths over the lack of Christmas on Starbucks’ cups.

Really? Is this what we’re supposed to get upset about? Who really cares if the coffee giant wants to go all Switzerland on us and stay neutral this “holiday season?”

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be saying “Merry Christmas” all day long when “the season” is upon us and if someone says “Happy Chanukah,” I’ll reciprocate.

But it’s probably one, big genial corporate marketing ploy for their “holiday” drinks that’s now, quite deliberately, got us reflecting way too much on whether a paper cup has Frosty the Snowman on it.

It was then — while still gazing at the Tim’s cups on the muddied, trampled ground, that the skirl of the piper’s lament sounded the end of the two minute’s silence — that I thought to myself how life is about recognizing what you have, choosing which battles you really need to fight and appreciating the freedom people have died for — even the agony of choosing between Tim’s or Starbucks.

It really can’t, however, be about the seasonal markings of a disposable cup.

Upcoming Film: The Wolf of Wolfsburg?

THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca

Cedric Hughes

V

Barrister & Solicitor

olkswagen is a well-known German automobile manufacturer headquartered in the City of Wolfsburg, Lower Saxony, Germany.

In mid-October 2015, there was some chatter about a possible major “Hollywood” film based on a reportedly forthcoming book about the Volkswagen emissions defeat device uproar. Based partly on fact and partly on speculation, some chapters could possibly be summarized as follows: By late October, Chapter Three—[suggested title] Das Motor: Engines so complicated even we don’t understand how they work! revealed Volkswagen [ VW ] searching older versions of its latest EA 288 diesel engines for the offending software while insisting that the two main versions of the engine, the euro 5 and euro 6 did not include it, meaning less chance of more affected vehicles. But it did not say which variants of the EA 288 engine it was examining, nor how many vehicles might be affected.

In Chapter Four—[suggested title] VWs first quarterly loss in 15 years but “a fun place to work,” VW’s management announced an operating loss of 3.48-billion euros (US$3.86 billion) in the third quarter after setting aside 6.7-billion euros to cover repairs. But they coupled this with a new business strategy involving “a hard look at the some 300 models [ VW ] produces to decide if they make sense” and the following prescription for a “more fun” workplace: “leaders [bringing] a new spirit of openness and cooperation to life.”

In early November —Chapter Five [suggested title from USA Today] Where does VW ’s road of deceit end?— things took a dramatic downturn with the US Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] finding defeat devices in more VW brands and models: “the 3-liter diesel engine versions of the 2014 VW Touareg, the 2015 Porsche Cayenne and the 2016 Audi Q5.” In a qualified statement, VW disputed these findings but remained unable to announce any fixes. The next indignity: The EPA, California Air Resources Board, and Environment Canada had discovered [this] additional cheating while testing VW’s and other car companies’ vehicles, in which they, however, “found nothing similar.”

Chapter Six continued downwards with VW announcing “unexplained inconsistencies” in the CO2 emissions from 800,000 of its vehicles, “predominantly [those] with diesel engines,” thereby raising “the possibility for the first time that some VWs with gasoline-powered motors may also have emissions problems.” Five days later, when the German newspaper, Bild am Sonntag reported that several VW engineers admitted manipulating CO2 emissions data because goals set by former management were difficult if not impossible to achieve otherwise, analysts revised the scandal costs upward to 35 billion euros (US$38 billion) for fines, lawsuits and vehicle refits.

Chapter Seven—[suggested title] Whole global companies can become about One Man offers the perspective of Bob Lutz, who served as a senior executive with Chrysler, then Ford and then GM, and now operates a consultancy business.

Writing in Road and Track magazine, Mr. Lutz says it comes down to one powerful person saying: “You will sell diesels in the U.S., and you will not fail. Do it, or I’ll find somebody who will.”

Garry Point dock needs a second look Dear Editor, Re: “Please leave Garry Point alone, Mr. McNulty,” Letters, Nov. 11.

Councillor Bill McNulty’s support of a plan to build a pier at Garry Point Park has met with some criticism.

Many people enjoy the view and want the natural setting of the park left alone.

The location for the proposed pier does not provide a place for future commercial development or additional revenue.

Steveston used to have a CPR car ferry, the Motor Princess, which ran to Sidney from the end of 7th Avenue.

This service began in 1929. Starting in 1954, Coastal Ferries operated the 100-passenger Lady Rose that travelled to the Gulf Islands from London’s Landing.

Both of these locations and the inner harbour are too small for large boats.

There does not seem to be much

choice, perhaps up river from Shady Island.

The engineers at the Dept. of Transport know all about docks and the Pilotage Authority may help.

A dock built parallel to the shore is less expensive to build.

The Japanese tall ship that is planned to visit is approximately 360-feet long and small cruise ships are even longer.

I hope the dock has value after the Japanese boat goes home, as cost is very important.

I am sure that Coun. McNulty, with a second look, will find a good location for his dock.

Also, those pilings by the shore of the park should be removed.

No to Steveston grocery store Dear Editor, Re: “Grocery store option coming to Steveston?” News, Oct. 21 I don’t think that another grocery store in Steveston is a good idea at all.

Steveston is small enough to begin with and as someone who lives in the Steveston neighbourhood, I really don’t think it’s necessary.

The grocery store in Steveston is already fairly large for anyone to find whatever they need.

Besides, if someone was looking for something in Super Grocer and couldn’t find the item, there’s a local Safeway, less than five minutes away.

I think the empty space should be used for a dollar store; Staples, for the high school students in need of some school supplies; or a fast food place to replace the absence of McDonald’s, such as Tim Hortons, A&W, a bubble tea store or White Spot.

Personally, I think that having more, smaller stores in Steveston is more beneficial than having one bigger one because for one thing, the government gets paid more by the taxes that are split through-

out many stores.

Plus, there’s more variety for customers to browse through, and it provides more job opportunities.

Simply having something unique and special in Steveston will draw a lot of people to Steveston which is great for business because Steveston isn’t just a neighbourhood; it’s also a tourist site with a nice vibe and it’s a great place for friends to hang out.

A second grocery store would just steal business from the already existing grocery store which would cause them both to be unsuccessful and result in one of them having to shut down due to the lack of business.

It would create quite a few unemployed people and the controversy of having a big, empty space in Steveston will start all over again.

I believe that the hard labour of building a whole new grocery store should go into renovating and improving the quality of what we already have, Super Grocer.

Jessica Peng Richmond

Yes to Steveston grocery store Dear Editor, Re: “Grocery store option coming to Steveston?” News, Oct. 21.

I agree that Steveston needs a grocery store but I strongly believe that grocery store should not be chain store.

Over the past few years, Steveston has been modernized and this has changed Steveston for the better.

However, it has also resulted in Steveston becoming a tourist destination and losing some of its history and culture.

My family has lived in Steveston for a long time now and I find it sad to see our history being erased.

My dad tells me stories of how Steveston used to be and the differences are dramatic.

Instead of building a chain grocer, I

believe a grocery store with foods such as fish and fresh produce caught and grown locally will be a much better alternative.

If we do this, we will be supporting our community operators and giving them work, which will also help preserve our culture.

Having local foods in the grocer will also make the store unique and healthy which I believe will be popular with the citizens of Steveston.

There is obvious interest in a grocery store in Steveston but I hope when deciding what grocer will come to Steveston, everyone considers a grocer that will have locally grown and caught food.

LETTERSto the Editor

Not impressed by ceremony Open letter to Richmond Remembrance Day organizers: I feel terrible saying this, but yesterday was the first Remembrance Day I have spent in Richmond.

Even though I have lived here for the greater part of 16 years, my family has tended to frequent smaller town services in the past.

I think that next year, we will go back to the smaller venues to remember.

I was utterly shocked at people’s behaviour; sitting in the veterans’ seating area — this level of inconsideration by people was quite shocking.

Also, most of the people I saw there were holding up ipads and cellphones filming the service and not participating in the occasion.

They made it more of a show than a moment to reflect.

With regards to the group dressed in tuxedos; I am not a religious man at all, however, what I did find was that particular group turned the cenotaph into a despicable act of disrespect.

Laughing and joking and dominating the

cenotaph for their own satisfaction was deplorable.

They made a mockery of everything that had gone before.

Every year, my son and I craft our own wreath that we lay together, but this year, for the first time since we began the tradition, I felt as if I had laid the wreath in the middle of a circus.

The job of organzing the event is certainly not one I would want.

Congratulations on your service, and I appreciate you for doing it. Next year, however, we will return to a smaller venue where people who are NOT part of some “community group” can actually get their moment of remembrance amongst others who respect the day.

Thanks again, and if you could give me the name of the “community organization” wearing the tuxedos I would certainly be writing to them with observations.

If you do not, I understand your position.

Jason Medcraft Richmond

Now, about that smell...

Dear Editor, I am glad to see the subject of the smell from composting is being brought up again.

The air quality in Richmond has been awful for a long time and nothing seems to be done about it.

The composting stench in Steveston is almost constant now. As I travel around the

city it seems to be everywhere.

What are the health consequences with the chemicals in the air that cause this odour? Does anyone know?

Why do the citizens of Richmond have to put up with this?

Lady in blue says thank you to good Samaritans Dear Editor, I was riding my bike along Blundell Road on Sunday, Nov. 8 at 11:45 a.m. when I ran into some wet leaves and had a nasty fall.

Two boys, who were waiting at the bus stop just east of Gilbert Road, came running to help me.

They were very concerned and kept asking if I was okay and then helped me

up and picked up my bike for me.

I thanked them but I was too shaken up to think of asking them for their names at the time and I would like to give them recognition for their gallant rescue.

It was so nice to know I wasn’t alone, as I could have been hurt quite badly.

T. Edmondson (The lady in the blue jacket)

The curb may be little, but it’s a big step for some Dear Editor, Re: “Think big, City of Richmond,” Letters, Nov. 11.

I take the Railway Greenway every day to work by bike. I have noticed they have built a new curb, one that I appreciate.

There is now a curb at the junction of Steveston and Railway, where before, a gravel path merged into the busy Steveston Hwy. In the morning, many children cross at that intersection, on their bikes, skateboards, or by foot.

Now the curb also has a raised yellow part, it is an additional deterrent for cars that cut too close to where pedestrians would be waiting, as well as make it more visible to everyone in general.

When I come home from work it is always

very dark now. I feel safer standing at that new curb. That junction used to be the only one with gravel, which I’m curious why it wasn’t a given for it to be paved while the Greenway was being built.

In any case, the road was closed for a week and a bit, and there were signs saying it was closed. Citizens are supposed to cross at the designated crosswalks and take the other side of the road. It was reasonable. This new curb is NOT “such a little thing” and it is just as important to improve the safety of our pedestrians and cyclists.

“A terrific show by an amazingly generous performer. The icing on this cake is her gorgeous voice.”

JO LEDINGHAM, VANCOUVER COURIER

everal requests this year, by the Richmond News to the City of Richmond, for information under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act have resulted in late replies, including three requests that are outstanding.

According to the clerk’s office, replies to more recent requests have been delayed due to the office’s involvement in terminating landuse contracts for 4,000 single-family homes.

“We can say the clerk’s office works diligently to deal with all (FOI) requests as expeditiously as possible,” said city spokesperson Ted Townsend, who did not respond to the News’ question as to whether or not the clerk’s office has enough staff.

In 2014, the city handled 127 FOI requests and this year, to June 18, it had handled 52.

City of Richmond

The most common request is from law firms for motor vehicle records.

Under law, a public body is expected to reply to requests for information within 30 business days.

In 2014, six requests made to the city by the News were replied to on the last possible day. This year, all six of its requests have had late replies or no replies. Three are 31 business days late and counting.

Changes eyed for Garry Point Park, Steveston Harbour Councillor: Dozen steel pilings won’t be removed after 2017, due to costs, future tall ships events GRAEMEWOOD

Staff Reporter

GWOODRICHMONDNEWS.COM

A

permanent pier at Garry Point Park will not be built in time for the 2017 Canada 150 celebrations, which will likely feature various unique tall ships.

But what happens thereafter to a dozen steel pilings that have stood empty for four years and counting has yet to be determined.

Furthermore, the notion of a permanent pier at the point has sparked renewed discussion over the park’s reconstruction, as well as Steveston Harbour’s development.

Coun. Bill McNulty addressed Richmond city council on Monday, stating there are misconceptions surrounding the plans for a pier (or dock) at Garry Point.

“We are not going to be spending copious amounts of money,” said McNulty, who took exception to some readers’ letters submitted to the Richmond News.

In the week prior, at a parks committee meeting, McNulty, along with councillors Linda McPhail and Chak Au, had supported a new, 600-foot floating dock, at a cost of $1.5 million, to be placed at the steel pilings.

After seasonal maritime events, the new dock would have then been moved back to Steveston Channel and used for additional moorage at Imperial Landing.

Councillors Carol Day, Ken Johnston and Harold Steves voted against the proposal.

Instead, for 2017, the City of Richmond now plans to take the existing floating docks from Imperial Landing (in front of the boardwalk) and move them to the pilings.

Ergo, the city will have to make do without a dock at Imperial Landing during the tall ship events (in May and July 2017).

“There appears to be enough wharfing, so we won’t have additional expenses,” noted McNulty.

Council has, as of this week, approved a $900,000 plan to bring the Kaiwo Maru, a Japanese, tall ship to Garry Point and host a tall ships event in 2017.

The dock at Garry Point is needed because the Maru’s hull would bottom out in Steveston Channel.

McNulty said tall ships bring money into

the local economy, although no recent documents presented to council outlining the Maru’s visit indicate what sort of economic impact it would have.

McNulty also noted the tall ships are a positive social and cultural community event.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie confirmed there has been no economic analysis, but said such an event will bring significant attention to the city. As well, Brodie added, it’s important to strengthen Steveston’s cultural ties to Japan. Steves is also a leading proponent of the tall ships, but voted against staff proposals for new infrastructure for Garry Point.

Steves said he opposed the dozen, “ugly” steel pilings when they were installed initially in 2010.

Instead, he said he supports a wooden pier at the location.

“The idea of the pier was to remove the piles but staff came up with something bigger. The message (from committee) wasn’t well understood,” said Steves.

Notably, any permanent structure at the location would need to be raised above the river, as a floating dock could not withstand

stormy winters.

While Steves called the pilings “ugly,” he said park visitors would have to “live with it for a few years yet.”

When asked why the pilings could not be removed after 2017, Steves’ answer was

Dr. Becca Levy, Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Psychology at the Yale School of Public Health, is the lead author of a new study that concluded that how we feel about aging is critical. Based on the findings, she argues that we need to overcome the negative stereotypes we have about aging. Here are some of the stereotypes (by percentage of people surveyed):

t two-fold.

First, he said removal is costly and, seco ond, he believes events with deep-draft, tall s ships will eventually occur annually.

However, Steves said he first wants the city t hash out plans for Steveston Harbour, into c cluding getting the ball rolling on a potential marina at Imperial Landing.

The parks committee created several new referrals for city planners, including: re-looking at the Garry Point Park legacy pier proposal (after committee unanimously dismissed a $5 million staff proposal); reporting o the status of the Garry Point Master Plan; on bringing forward a proposal for the complet of the Phoenix Pond Net Loft; and tion researching the public/private partnership o opportunities for a marina.

Notably, long-term plans may include redeveloping the Steveston Harbour Authority site immediately to the east of Garry Point Park.

McNulty said, “We want to see what the public wants to see at Garry Point.”

The News asked whether he thinks the public wants any changes at all to the park.

“I’ve heard people say we want to expand it, this or that, and that’s what we’ll ask,” he said, adding: “I want to hear from more people.”

At the parks committee meeting, area resident Loren Slye, who is the chair of the Steveston Historical Society, suggested a permanent structure for the tall ships.

Massey concerns for MLA Sandor Gyarmati Delta Optimist

T

he province’s minister of transportation says he’s disappointed in what MLA Vicki Huntington is saying about the analysis that’s gone into the decision to build a bridge over the Fraser River.

Outside the legislature last week, Todd Stone responded to questions regarding the Delta South MLA’s assertion that the government won’t provide documents supporting the plan to construct the multibillion dollar crossing to replace the George Massey Tunnel.

According to Huntington, a freedom of information request, filed last year by Delta South constituent and Delta-Optimist columnist Ian Robertson, requested “materials such as documents, data, analysis prepared for the premier to allow her to determine and to announce that the Massey Tunnel would be replaced by a bridge over the Fraser River.”

No records were found, she said.

“Government information is becoming an endangered species in this province,” she added.

Huntington said her office also made an FOI request to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for 10 years of records preceding phase two of the public consultation period on the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project, which returned no results.

A separate FOI request by Huntington asked for the business case, along with other technical documentation, for the five crossing options to replace the tunnel.

Stone said, “I’m quite disappointed, actually, that she made the statements that she did. All the material related to George Massey (tunnel replacement) has been developed where there is technical analysis, engineering work, the public engagement material has been provided to Miss Huntington in one form or another.

“Staff have met with her on a regular basis.

In fact, we meet quarterly as a matter of courtesy to her to bring her up to speed on the project, answer all of the questions that she has, point her to the resources that are on the website and are available, so the suggestion there is no material and that we haven’t provided her specifically with material is simply inaccurate and I think the public needs to know that.”

As far as the business case, Stone noted that “sound decision making when it comes to major infrastructure projects” has always involved government announcing its political intentions, setting a vision and proceeding with the necessary public engagement to work on details. Part of that process includes development of a business case, something that was also done when it came to such projects as the new Port Mann Bridge and South Fraser Perimeter Road.

Brodie: Expects city to comply From page 6 information requested can often be a major job requiring dozens of hours of work by the staff involved.”

One of Richmond city council’s term goals is a “well-informed citizenry.”

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said he expects the city to comply with FOI requests.

“Our expectation is we will comply with the legislation and it’s just that simple,” said Brodie, who added he understands the issue of land-use contracts to be a difficult chore.

Brodie said the clerk’s office is staffed by three people, but could not comment as to whether he thinks it’s under-staffed.

Clerks handle a multitude of administrative aspects, including recording meeting minutes on a weekly basis.

According to the BC Freedom of Information and Privacy Association, it is not uncommon for public bodies to be understaffed when it comes to providing information for citizens and businesses.

He and his father, mother, and wife spent their inaugural visit at the crossroads of two very distinct worlds.

“It’s neat to look up and see 800-foot buildings all around and you are in this little cranberry field,” he said.

Ocean Spray is hopping aboard a national marketing trend by returning to the use of its retro labeling. At the same time, the brand used the opportunity to allow its farmers, of which there are about 700 who co-own the cooperative company, to let consumers know how they live and work.

These families of farmers are in a business whose roots are in the ground, on family owned property.

The cranberry represents months, years and even decades of inter-generational connectedness.

“They own this brand and they want to see it be suc-

cessful,” said Rod Serres, an agricultural scientist for Ocean Spray.

A family signs a three-year contract when they join the Ocean Spray co-op, and during that time period the co-op promises to sell all the berries that are produced by its owners.

“It’s not competitive farming like some other industries where it’s farmer versus farmer,” said Serres. “It’s this feeling that they want to help each other and the brand.”

This year has been a good one for cranberry farmers from Massachusetts to

Richmond. For most, harvest season ended Friday. They’ll spend the rest of the year repairing equipment and renovating structures and facilities. In the spring they’ll start watching for frost, which sometimes has them working through the night.

Clinton May estimates that on average, each Ocean Spray grower harvests about half a million pounds of cranberries. With more than 220 cranberry producing acres, his family harvests around 40 million pounds of cranberries per year.

Sense of community on the menu PHILIPRAPHAEL Staff Reporter

PRAPHAELRICHMONDNEWS.COM

‘I

’ll tell you what, there’s no soup served up from my kitchen on Mondays.”

Andrew Spence is pretty clear when he makes the declaration. And why not. The kitchen at St. Alban Anglican Church in Richmond is his domain at the start of each week when he plans and serves up a lunch that is much more meaningful than just a basic bowl of soup.

“We develop a sense of community here because anyone is welcome to come and eat,” said Spence, 51, who is regaining his footing after losing his job as an aircraft maintenance worker a number of months ago by volunteering at the church each week since the spring. He sees it as a way of giving back to a community service that helped support him when times were tough.

“It was embarrassing,” he said. “I’ve got a good education. A licence to fix airplanes. But there I was, sleeping in my car.”

When he did seek assistance from another local support service he remembers it having a demoralizing undertone.

“It was basically soup and frozen pies,” he said. “It made me feel that I wasn’t important enough in the community that they couldn’t even put the pie in the oven.

“Soup’s good. But the people who come in here for lunch deserve better,” he said. “They deserve a meal that shows somebody really cares.”

On the menu the Monday when the News

visited St. Alban was chicken Caesar salad with homemade dressing.

“I try to come up with a nice balance where everyone gets a good variety of foods,” Spence said.

The church’s drop-in centre also uses the meals as a way of providing some training for clients by incorporating ingredients that are inexpensive and easily available, said James Caspersen, St. Alban’s outreach program coordinator.

“One of our focuses over the last six months has been to build up our life skills development programs, because what we’re finding is that when we have clients we are able to find housing for, they’ll often lack the ability to cook, clean, manage their bills, and be a good tenant. And that can result in an end of tenancy or eviction,” said Caspersen. “And when that happens, the person ends up back where they started.”

For Spence, the chance to play a role in the kitchen was an opportunity for him to begin rebuilding his life.

“When James asked me to head this up, it was like a godsend. It really fit into my life.

And when I do get full-time employment, I’m gonna ask for Mondays off so I can keep this going.”

“Gaining meaningful work, even through volunteering, is a key step in recovery,” Caspersen said.

Much of Spence’s passion to remain connected stems from the sense of community created by the two dozen or so people who attend the free lunch each Monday.

“It’s about community. It’s not just about

" Andrew Spence, along with help from fellow volunteer Silvana Romano, prepares lunch at St. Alban Anglican Church each Monday as a means of giving back to the church’s support program, which helped the aircraft mechanic after he was laid off. Photo by Philip Raphael/Richmond News

people who need the help. Anyone can come down here on a Monday,” Spence said. “It’s about people sitting down together and enjoying a meal.

“Some of those who do need the help, sure, they could heat up a can of something at home. But they don’t get that chance to sit

down and chat with someone,” he added.

While there’s usually no leftovers, Spence does manage to set some food aside for those who need a little extra.

“I don’t know what they’re going to do for a meal the next day, but I know they’re okay for the night.”

Youth receives national award Charity BrigYVONNEROBERTSON house supports

or a shy pre-teen whose family had just moved to Richmond from Malaysia, volunteering was Dennis Wang’s way into his new community.

The now 15-year-old recalled a time when he’d escape to Richmond’s Brighouse library, spending summer days within its walls and finding solace among the bookshelves.

“During my first summer break, I was sitting at home without anything to do,” said Dennis, who attended Steveston secondary for two years before transferring to St. George’s school in downtown Vancouver.

“So I thought it’d be cool to help out in the library since I frequented it a lot back then. I got to meet other kids my age and socialize with people. It was really special.”

It wasn’t long before Dennis, with the help of three other youth volunteers, began his own charity called Charity Brighouse, named after the library.

local initiatives — creating library programs for kids and helping at the Richmond Food Bank — as well as donating internationally to Free the Children.

Last month, Dennis received the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award — the highest honour for

volunteerism in the country.

He was one of six youth volunteers receiving the award in Vancouver in October and met Free the Children’s Marc Kielburger and Spencer West.

“It was a big surprise for me,” said Dennis. “I wasn’t expecting to get something like this. It was so cool meeting Marc and Spencer West See Advocates page 18

Milkmaids’ winning thirst ended in ‘near riot’ MATTHOEKSTRA Contributor

T

hey’re women known for simply milking cows — milkmaids, according to Oxford — but Richmond once boasted a particularly fearsome group of milkmaids whose thirst for winning outmatched their care for cattle.

The Richmond Milkmaids were Richmond’s popular, prize-winning lacrosse team that found local fame in the ‘20s and ‘30s — a period when few opportunities existed for women to participate in organized team sports.

Now, almost a century later, the team is being honoured as one of 16 initial inductees to the Richmond Sports Wall of Fame, a new installation forming part of a local sports history exhibit opening with the Richmond Olympic Experience at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

It was 1927 that a group of women came together to form a team after quietly honing for a game, where crowds were said to be as their skills with equipment borrowed from large as 10,000. brothers and friends. Soon the Women’s LaLeslie Ross, author of Richmond Child of crosse League formed, with Vancouver, New Westminster and Ladner also fielding teams. the Fraser, suggested the challenges of the Great Depression sparked new local interest Brighouse Park was home turf and Rudy in sports such as lacrosse.

players.”

Nonetheless, women’s lacrosse continued.

In 1936 the team — now called the Richmond Buddies — turned to box lacrosse and, more often than not, would win the league championship.

The end of women’s lacrosse for the Lower Mainland and all of Canada, according to Lowe, came in 1941 when the Second World War pulled women into the armed forces and the wartime workforce. By that time the

team had amassed many wins — including one for the wider community by changing attitudes and inspiring other girls and women to pursue sports.

The Richmond Sports Wall of Fame will honour that legacy when city officials unveil the installation at a public ceremony at the Richmond Olympic Oval 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 21. Jim Gilmore, whose mother played for the Milkmaids in the 1920s, will represent the team at the event.

Explore the food-friendly wines of France ERICHANSON Sips Happen

W

hich region of France is the second-largest wine producing region? Here’s a hint: It’s also the second most important French region for wine exports to Canada.

The answer? The Rhône Valley! Rhône vineyards are located in south-eastern France, along the Rhône River, between Lyon in the north and Avignon in the south.

Christophe Tassan, a French sommelier and Rhône Wine Ambassador par excellence, was recently in town to remind us of why Rhône wines are so popular.

“Rhône wines are brighter than before, they are food friendly, and I don’t need education to have fun,” boasts Tassan with his Gallic pride and exuberance.

Although 91 per cent of Rhône wines are red, there are some tasty white blends at affordable prices. The Maison Gabriel Meffre 2014 Saint Vincent Côtes du Rhône Blanc ($15.99) is a prime example.

Grenache Blanc, Rousanne, and Clairette Blanche grapes are fermented and blended to produce a dry, mineral-rich white with floral scents and peach and pear flavours.

I enjoyed it with Moroccan chicken skewers and cucumber lemon yogurt at the Clough Club in Gastown.

Two other Côtes du Rhône Blancs are Louis Bernard ($13.99) and Ogier Heritages ($16.99). Enjoyable as an apéritif and delicious served alongside grilled albacore tuna.

At the Salt Tasting Room in Gastown, I sampled Les Dauphins 2013 Côtes du Rhône Reserve Red ($13.99).

Like most Rhône reds, the Dauphins is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. It has a beautiful Belle Époque label, but there’s great value behind the packaging.

The Grenache adds strawberry notes along with bacon flavours and black pepper. Syrah adds blackberry, blueberry, and a hint of pepper, and allows the wine to age well. And Mourvèdre adds more colour and body.

I thoroughly enjoyed Les Dauphins with Chef Stephen Lusby-Blackburn’s pan-seared pancetta salami with truffle honey mustard. The meat and pepper notes of the wine married well with the charcroute.

At Wildebeest in Gastown, I savoured Chef Pekka Tavela’s Angus Striploin with a Côtes du Rhône red from a

new appellation: Saint-Mapalis. The 2013 Maison Gareil Meffre Plan de Dieu Côtes du Rhône-Villages ($15.99) was flavourful, complex, and well priced; my favourite red out of four with the steak.

Côtes du Rhône -Villages are wines from villages whose vineyards are more premium than general appellations.

I loved the Plan de Dieu’s lush flavour of blackberry with the earthy terroir and smoked meat flavour. And the licorice finish was a parting high note for me.

Delicious with a Chinese pork chop with five spice powder which made the wine’s subtle notes of cumin and paprika more dramatic.

One final Côtes du Rhône red was the 2013 Maison

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed WesPac Tilbury Marine Jetty Project

Open House and Invitation to Comment WesPac Midstream—Vancouver LLC (Proponent) is proposing to construct a marine jetty for berthing and transferring liquefied natural gas (LNG) to marine barges and carriers at Tilbury Island in Delta, BC, on the Fraser River. WesPac Tilbury Marine Jetty Project (proposed Project) comprises the removal of existing abandoned marine infrastructure, the construction of a marine jetty (access trestle, loading platform, and mooring dolphins), the construction of LNG infrastructure to receive processed LNG for transfer to marine vessels and safety and process control systems.

The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act (2002) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (2012). BC’s Environmental Assessment process is substituted for the federal process, meeting both federal and provincial requirements for environmental assessment. Provincial and Federal ministers will each make their own decision on whether or not to approve the project. More information on Substitution is available at: http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca/substitution.html.

The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application (Application) for an environmental assessment certificate by the Proponent, the Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve the Application Information Requirements.

Key to the Application Information Requirements is the identification of Valued Components to be studied and the areas within which the studies would occur. The selected Valued Components are presented in the draft Valued Components document which the Proponent has prepared and EAO invites the public to submit comments on.

In order to provide information about the Valued Component selection, EAO invites the public to attend Open Houses, to be held: at:

Brotte La Fiole ($17.49). It’s in the wine bottle that replicates what happened when the wine cellar burned down and the bottles partly melted.

Enjoy its good depth of colour and flavour with strawberries, cherries, licorice and some barnyard which to me spells French Red! As Christophe Tassan reminds us, “Wine is 95 per cent of the time enjoyed at the table. Wine is to highlight the food, not to take over the food. Rhône is a friendly wine because Grenache is friendly. Want a pizza? Grab a Grenache. Want sushi? Grab a Grenache. Rhône is easy!”

All comments received during this comment period in relation to the draft Valued Components document will be considered.

The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process.

At this stage of the process, the primary intent is to receive feedback about the studies or information required for a comprehensive environmental assessment.

Men, depending on how cold it is, do not hesitate to layer in fours: Undershirt; long-sleeved shirt; sweater and coat. You can even throw in a scarf if the mood strikes.

The key to pulling off this look is sizing. Stick to what fits. Not too big and not too small. If you are worried about the size, err on the side of smaller when layering. Nobody looks good

when they could be described as baggy, frumpy or dumpy.

Side note: This goes for suits as well — stick to suits that fit your body type. If a 38 regular is a little tight in the pants, you are better off either letting them out a touch, or losing two pounds, than going up to a “40 regular.”

Also (and this is very important) if you are invited to a party and the invite says black tie and you do not have a black tie, you should either buy or rent a tux or decline the invite.

Think about it: If you were invited to a white party, you wouldn’t show up dressed in green, would you?

Now for the women. Fall in Richmond brings excitement in the form of three

words: Boots, boots and boots!

You can never go wrong with a pair of high black boots, flat or heeled, it really doesn’t matter. Stick to below the knee to keep it stylish.

Let’s talk about our second item — parties.

For the community events and galas, you absolutely cannot go wrong with floorlength gowns this season.

They can be elegant or understated, but floorlength is key. Have a look at one of Richmond’s best dressed, Kelly Grant.

She is wearing a classic black gown, which looks great and provides an opportunity for bling.

Note the bracelet and earrings, which really bring this outfit together.

For makeup, go with smoky tones, and for mascara, there is only one brand to buy; the Dior show over curl.

Parties: Ugly sweaters are out " One of Rich-

From page 20 How do I know this, you may ask? Ladies, trust me on this, according to my wife, Richelle, and the man at the hair salon, once you try it, you will never go back to another mascara.

If you are choosing not to go floor-length, rule of thumb when it comes to parties is, unless you’re in Vegas, keep the dresses classy and go with something below the knee.

And while a mini-skirt with leggings may look good, it is not appropriate for a gala or work function.

For the work holiday party or festivities with the family, my advice is to keep it classy.

Ugly sweater parties have run their course, and frankly they weren’t that great anyway. I mean, who likes a neck rash from some weird rayon poly blend from some “vintage” ugly sweater?

Mindfully manage your emotions DAVIDICUSWONG Healthwise

D

o you remember the scene when Snow White runs screaming through the woods, terrorized by what appear to be evil trees? She awakens in the morning, surrounded by new furry, forest friends.

In real life, we all get lost in the wilderness of our emotions, and those emotions cloud what we are able to see.

We may think we know the difference between happiness, sadness, anger and anxiety, but any of us can get caught up and lost in our moods and feelings.

The conventional approach to life is to seek pleasure and avoid pain. That, we believe, is the definition of success and the secret to happiness: maximal pleasure and minimal pain.

We preoccupy our thoughts and energy with the pursuit of physical comforts.

We work not only for the necessities of life but to buy the things we crave.

At the same time, we avoid what we don’t like: pain and suffering. When we experience physical pain especially when it becomes chronic, we struggle to fight it — with fear, anger and sadness.

This invariably amplifies our suffering.

Likewise, we seek positive emotional experiences: falling in love, happiness and peace, and we react with aversion to negative emotions, such as sadness, grief, anxiety and anger. We might try to

suppress or ignore these difficult feelings or struggle to fight them with even greater fear, anger and loathing.

Our conventional approach to life is doomed to fail. That is reality.

If our aspiration is to remain young, active and pain-free forever, we will surely be disappointed; our bodies age and breakdown, we will become ill at some time, and each of us will ultimately die.

Change — both predictable and unpredictable — is the nature of life and part of being human. It is futile to hold onto all that gives us pleasure. Pain is a part of life, but suffering — to some extent — is optional.

We don’t have to be caught up with the dramatic twists and turns of fortune or get sick on the roller coaster ride of our emotions. With a little wisdom and the application of mindfulness, we can still find peace.

Without mindfulness, we instinctively react to circumstances and get carried away. We stab ourselves twice by clinging to negative emotions.

First, we identify with them. We say, “I am depressed”, “I am panicky” or “I am angry” instead of “I am experiencing a feeling of depression, a panic attack or a wave of anger.” By identifying with emotions, we add more power to their punch

and stay within their reach.

Then we ruminate — repeating and recycling the negative thoughts associated with those emotions. For depression, “Everything is terrible and it’s never going to get better.” For anxiety, “I can’t handle it. I’m overwhelmed.” For anger, “I have a right to be mad, and here are the reasons . . .”

In this way, we linger in the lake of our sorrows or get caught in the quicksand of our own anger.

A mindful approach to difficult emotions is to recognize that it is normal and human to feel a variety of emotions and to notice them change as does everything else in our lives. I use the acronym, ROAR. Recognize your emotions.

What am I feeling? Is it anger or is there something more? Fear? Sadness?

Open up and accept your feelings without judgment. Negative emotions do not make you a bad person.

Appreciate whatever is arising in your heart. What does it feel like? What does it physically feel like in your body?

Think, “This is anger or anxiety or sadness” rather than, “I am angry, I am anxious, or I am sad.”

Release. Don’t identify, cling to or feed your emotional response. Let it pass through you like a weather system.

Catch and release. Breathe in and breathe out.

VOICESon Olympics

No capes needed to be ‘super’ in sports Road to

RIO 2016 OLYMPICS

Richmond’s male athlete for 2014, race walker Evan Dunfee, isn’t one to rest on his laurels. For the 25-yearold, 2015 has brought new levels of success. In July, he produced a big upset in winning gold in the Pan-American Games in Toronto in the 20km event. In August, he finished 12th in both the 20km and 50km races at the World Athletics Championships in Beijing, China. And looking ahead to 2016, and the Rio Olympics, Dunfee will try and build on his success, fighting for a spot on the medal podium.

In a new series, Dunfee will take Richmond News readers along his journey to Rio; sharing thoughts on training, competing and what it’s like to be a top-level athlete.

I

OF N FER OV E 30 ND TH S

am so happy to be given the opportunity to share my passion and my journey with you.

I have an exciting year ahead as I gear up for my first Olympic Games. Along the way, I will be sharing insights into what my day-today training and competing looks like, and introduce you to some of the sports science that we use to give us a competitive edge. I will also be delving into some of the

psychological components that are so often considered taboo topics in sport.

But to kick things off, a quick story: A few weeks back, in the midst of taking a month off to recover and rejuvenate after my 2015 season ended, I was asked to be a member of a “Whistler 50” relay team (eight members run alternative legs of 13 and 7 km) with some friends who are all UBC or SFU track and field alumni. This dedicated

team was looking to win for the fifth consecutive year, and I was happy to help. But some things had noticeably changed; the largest being how much slower the team members had gotten over those five years.

Coming out of university and moving on with “real” life had obviously meant moving on from high-level training.

What blew me away though, was despite being slower, the intensity with which they prepared for and reached towards their goals hadn’t changed at all. The lessons they had learned through sport and the camaraderie they felt hadn’t dissipated.

That’s the amazing power of sport. On any given day, humans can conquer their goals and feel like superheroes, having pushed beyond what they thought they were capable of.

The goals between two people may be worlds apart, but the desire to chase those goals is the ultimate level playing field. With that, and in addition to the multitude of health benefits, sport also teaches compassion and responsibility, and can instill a way of being that few other pursuits can.These lessons

are then quickly adopted into every aspect of one’s life.

Therein lies my ultimate goal for this series. I hope that through writing about my experiences, I may inspire even one person to take up sport, or to re-commit to chasing their dreams, so that they can find the same level of joy in accomplishing a goal that I have had over the past 15 years.

Because there is nothing better than feeling like a superhero.

There have been many fulfilling decisions I have made during my working years but none as positive as the decision made 17 years ago to build a career in Real Estate. The one decision which I have never looked back on was joining RE/MAX. I was impressed with the high exposure of the RE/MAX brand name and the added confidence it brought to my clients. When looking for a successful start in real estate, and“average”is just not good enough, work with the most professional real estate agents in the world and choose RE/MAX.

hile it has changed considerably over the decades, the 2015 Volkswagen Beetle still expresses that unique character not found in any other vehicles.

The current generation Beetle was introduced in 2012 to compete with other retro rivals, the MINI Cooper and Fiat 500. Like the others in this niche, the VW is available as a coupe and a convertible.

IT’S DAYLIGHT

Leaving behind its bubbly persona, today’s model is more masculine while retaining the distinctive Beetle look.

This Beetle is bolder and more dynamic than its predecessor, but its non-threatening, smiling front end and bulbous wheel arches remind you of the past. The small spoiler at the back hints at its playful side.

VW made some other changes to the Beetle between generations. The roofline is noticeably lower and flatter, and the track width and wheelbase has been increased.

The Beetle’s retro design continues into the cabin and is most apparent looking at the dash. However, the sporty steering wheel and racy dials add a modern touch.

Keeping in line with Volkswagen’s original philosophy of being the “people’s car,”

doesn’t see significant changes, two updates grab attention. The limited-edition Beetle Classic joins the lineup and a new TDI Clean Diesel engine is also available. As most readers know, unfortunately this diesel engine is the one that’s been affected by the current VW situation around diesel.

The brand has been tarnished for the time being because of the diesel issue, but this does not mean that the products themselves are in any way poorly designed or engineered. In fact, VW makes some of the best products in the world and many are considered the benchmark in the industry.

We will have to continue to monitor the news and information to see how this entire diesel issue evolves – until then, it’s hard to predict how the brand will be affected for the long haul.

For now, however, we want to evaluate the Beetle as a product on its own, without the controversy surrounding the brand itself.

there is a Beetle model for just about everybody. On top of the coupe and convertible body styles, there are trim lines for people focused on economy, those wanting something sporty, and the fashion conscious.

The Beetle Classic is the exciting newcomer. It adds nice touches such as 17-inch “Heritage” alloy wheels with large chrome hubcaps, and plaid seats to really bring back memories.

" Performance

The VW Beetle is available with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. Also, there’s a choice between two gasoline engines and one diesel.

The standard engine coming in most models is a 1.8-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder.

It produces 170 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque while returning good fuel economy.

Powering sport models is a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder. Using a turbocharger and direct injection it produces 210 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque.

The 2015 Beetle TDI comes with an all-new turbodiesel engine, which will need modifications to meet the new standards as we all know.

Regardless of the engine, the VW Beetle is easy to drive around town. Its compact dimensions ease maneuverability and the design grants great outward visibility.

Out on the open road, the Beetle may not be the most agile, but it is still plenty fun to drive. The steering is accurate with a nicely weighted feel, it has lots of grip, and if you throw it in a corner it will not lean at all.

However, the Beetle is not perfect. While it is reasonably comfortable, it does “jump around a bit” after going over a bump. Also, at high speeds there is a bit of wind noise.

" Environment

Behind the wheel of the Beetle, the front seats are spacious and the robust controls are logically laid out.

You will also find a surprising amount of practicality in the front as well.

As well as a normal glovebox, there is another storage box in the upper dash paying homage to the Bugs of the past. Other storage places include the dash top, lower centre console and centre armrest. And, while the door bins are paper thin, the thick elastic band makes them usable and versatile.

Nobody buys a Beetle to use as a cargo van or a taxi, but its lack of practicality behind the front seats must be noted.

Since the Beetle only has two doors, it is difficult to get into the back. Once situated in either of the two rear seats, knee room is very tight and headroom is not great either.

As for the trunk, cargo space is okay, however, the sloping tailgate means you cannot carry tall items. Folding the rear seats reveals a rather large ridge that will not allow you to easily slide in longer, heavier items.

All that being said, the VW Beetle requires fewer compromises than its smaller retro rivals.

ichmond City Baseball didn’t have to look far to find the ideal candidate for the association’s first-ever Director of Player Development.

David Van Ostrand not only has the qualifications but came through Richmond Baseball himself before playing collegiately in the U.S. The 28-year-old officially began the position last month and is currently overseeing a six week winter program — the first of two sessions before preparations for the 2016 season take flight.

On this night, Van Ostrand is running a hitting session for younger players at the Blundell Cage covered practice facility.

“It’s good to get back here and see these little guys running around,” smiled the one-time New York Yankees draft pick who played college ball at Allan Hancock and Cal Poly. “After finishing up as a player I was

lucky enough to get in contact with local people, including some of the coaches I had on the way up and are still doing great work for the association. I had to get back into it. “(When I was a kid) we had some good things here and there like the Ball Park (a private training centre) but nothing like (the Blundell Cage). It’s great to see things getting bigger and better around Richmond baseball and even Canadian baseball in general.”

Van Ostrand and his brother Jimmy, who also enjoyed an outstanding career, idolized the Toronto Blue Jays during their back-toback World Series wins in the early 1990s.

Now, today’s players have been captivated by the Jays’ first appearance in the postseason in over 20 years.

“My brother even went as (Jays catcher) Pat Borders for Halloween one year,” laughed David. “It’s nice to see the next generation getting a little bit of that fever

too.”

Hiring a Director of Player Development has been on Richmond Baseball’s wish list for about a year. There was a similar volunteer position before that required finding and bringing in instructors to run various camps.

“It really had become a lot of work and we thought maybe we should hire someone,” said president John Braaten.”We had a few applicants but David was a great choice given he had come through the minor system and gone on to play college ball too.

“Everything is scheduled with the focus being on general skills and hitting. Our main target group is eight to 11 years-old which represents 40 percent of our entire registration. We will do part two (of winter training in January) then David will start working with teams and players, touching all of them

The winter sessions rotate between the Blundell Cage and a couple of elementary school gyms.

The executive is thrilled with the initial response, despite very short notice, with 70 percent of the program already full and more parents coming forward to sign-up their child. The sessions are well-staggered to ensure they don’t interfere with other sports or activities.

“We have made a concerted effort to follow (Canadian Sport For Life’s) Long Term Athlete Development model, where we are training these kids to become athletes who want to play baseball,” explained Richmond City vice-president Dan Marriott.

“It’s not about only teaching baseball. We

encourage our kids to go play soccer or hockey. That’s why we are reaching out to those groups too. We don’t want our kids throwing for three months in the winter. It’s more like stop, go play another sport and come back and see us again.”

Van Ostrand will also provide his expertise towards coaching development. In fact, coaches are encouraged to attend the winter training sessions to get a better understanding of what the kids are being taught and pick up on some practice ideas too.

“We have a coaching development plan and a mentorship plan where someone else comes in you to work with out coaches,” added Marriott. “You need a common knowledge. Every coach on the same page, speaking the same language. Now we have David entering the mix too.”

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Application #: KMC-FACILITIES- IVMP-2015

Applicant: Kinder Morgan Canada (KMC), 7815 Shellmont Street, Burnaby BC V5A 4S9. Cheryl Thesen (403-358-2509).

In accordance with the British Columbia’s Pest Management Act and Regulations, KMC is required to develop a Pest Management Plan (PMP) (for KMC the PMP is referred to as the Integrated Vegetation Management Plan (IVMP)). The PMP manages problem vegetation, including control of noxious weeds and invasive plants within KMC facilities. Facilities include pump stations, valve stations, terminals, tank farms and office/maintenance facilities. All facilities are fenced, secure compounds not accessible to the general public. The facilities are located in proximity to the following communities in British Columbia: Valemount, Albreda, Blue River, Avola, Vavenby, Clearwater, Darfield, McLure, Kamloops, Merritt, Kingsvale, Hope, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Sumas, Langley, Burnaby and Richmond.

This PMP has been prepared to replace the existing 5 year PMP which expires in 2016. The proposed duration of the IVMP (PMP) is from March 31, 2016 to March 31, 2021.

The vegetation management and weed control methods proposed for use include hand pulling, mowing, trimming, pruning, selective slashing, girdling, geotextile fabric, retaining existing low ground cover, and seeding, fertilization where set backs permit and tree/shrub plantings. The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the PMP (IVMP) applies.

KMC conducts all work, including pest management, in strict adherence with all applicable laws and regulations.

The common names and an example of trade names of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminocyclopyrachlor (Navius VM), aminopyralid (Milestone), chlorsulfuron (Telar), clopyralid (Lontrel 360), dicamba (Vanquish), diflufenzopyr (Overdrive), diuron (Diurex 80 WDG), flumioxazin (Payload), fluroxypyr (Retain B), glyphosate (Vantage XRT), imazapyr (Arsenal), indaziflam (Esplanade SC), MCPA (MCPA Amine 500), mecoprop-P (Mecoprop-P), metsulfuron methyl (Escort), picloram (Tordon 22K), triclopyr (Garlon XRT), 2,4-D (2,4-D Amine 600), Hasten (adjuvant) and siloxylated polyether (adjuvant). Application methods include: backpack, power hose and nozzle, wick/wipe-on applicator, squirt bottle and boom sprayer.

A draft copy of the proposed IVMP (PMP) and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined in detail online at: http://www.kindermorgan.com/content/docs/kmc_facilities_ivmp.pdf or by contacting the Applicant listed above.

“A person(s) wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant within 30 days of the publication of this notice”
