Water wasters doused with fines Richmond handed out more fines than most — at $500 a pop Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

T

he City of Richmond came down hard on water wasters during this summer’s record-setting heatwave — to the tune of $208,200 in fines.

After an initial soft educational approach during the Stage 1 and 2 Metro Vancouver water restrictions early in the season, the city’s patience wore thin when the region upped the ante to Stage 3 at the height of the drought conditions.

On the back of 50 written warnings, a total of 407 violation tickets at $500 each were issued, mostly in August, by city bylaw officers during Stage 3, which banned lawn sprinkling of any kind.

Earlier in the summer, eight warnings and 15 tickets at $200 each were handed out during Stage 2 (sprinkling once a week allowed) and 12 warnings and 17 tickets at $100 each during Stage 1 (three days a week, mornings only). More than 1,300 investigations were carried out during the season and the city’s hard-hitting approach during the more

severe hot weather could rake in more than $200,000 in fines, depending on how many of the offenders pay up.

Richmond’s tough stance was in stark contrast to neighbouring municipalities, where there was either a dearth of complaints and offenders or a lack of enforcement.

“In Stages 1 and 2, we primarily focused on education and voluntary compliance with progressive enforcement,” stated the City of Richmond’s senior manager of corporate communications, Ted Townsend.

“Most residents received warning letters with mainly flagrant violators or repeat offenders receiving violation notices.

“When Stage 3 was implemented, we took a stricter approach, issuing tickets as a deterrence against the indiscriminate use of limited water supplies.”

Asked what kind of violations were prevalent during the height of the summer — such as automatic or timer-controlled sprinkling systems — Townsend said the city doesn’t track specific types of infractions, other than during which stage they were committed.

However, he said all fines will be pursued and all necessary measures will be taken

against those who refuse to pay the penalty for flouting the water restrictions.

“If tickets are unpaid, violators will be sent to our collection agency for follow-up and/ or we can go to court to seek payment,” Townsend added.

In years 2012 to 2014, the city issued just 18 violation tickets and gave only a handful of warnings.

Vancouver has issued nearly 6,000 warnings this year, but only handed out 415 tickets that carry a fine of just $250. In comparison, last year there were 767 warnings and 43 tickets in Vancouver.

West Vancouver, by contrast, was the most lenient of all in the region, issuing no tickets, despite giving out 463 oral and written warnings so far in 2015.

Metro Vancouver chair Greg Moore said the region will be reviewing what went right and wrong during the water restrictions this summer, and will look at how different municipalities enforced its bylaws when people watered their lawns when they were not allowed. He said the review will likely recommend municipalities take a more unified approach to fines and enforcement.

NEWSin the City Award-winning director plays Tricks on the Dead Jordan Paterson is reaping rewards for five years spent making docudrama about little-known Chinese sacrifice during First World War ALANCAMPBELL

Staff Reporter

ACAMPBELLRICHMONDNEWS.COM

“

All awards come as a surprise.”

The Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) was barely a day old when Jordan Paterson got the call that his creation had won the fan-voted Audience Must See Award.

The Richmond-based filmmaker is justifiably proud of his docudrama Tricks on the Dead, which has already attracted attention via scooping “best one-hour documentary, best editing and best cinematography” accolades at the B.C.-wide Leo Awards earlier this year.

Painting the picture of the secret transport of 85,000 Chinese labourers across Canada to dig trenches and bury the dead on the Western Front in the First World War, Tricks on the Dead was filmed on three continents with the help of more than 50 Chinese extras, many of whom are from Richmond.

The film, according to Paterson, depicts China’s emergence into international affairs on its road to becoming a world power in the First World War. However, Tricks on the Dead shows how tens of thousands of Chinese peasants had no idea what the imperialistic First World War was about.

And Paterson, who spent five years researching and making the movie, said he hopes to “restore the collective memory of those in China, and around the world, who have largely forgotten about the…men who

made this journey 100 years ago.”

“People in Mainland China knew more about it; but in Chinese Canada, it’s almost non-existent,” said Paterson, when asked how much knowledge the Chinese community in Richmond and B.C. has about the back-story to his film.

“But it almost cost as many lives as the wars with Japan and it’s a story that connects everybody, so our target audience is very general.

“I do admit, it’s a niche story; it’s not a hot topic. But it’s very much a labour of love.”

Asked how a Richmond-based Calgarian, who lives with his wife and family near No. 1 and Blundell roads, came to spend five years putting together a docudrama about Chinese history, Paterson said, while travelling in China, he developed a deep appreciation for the country.

“I was shocked, however, by some of the stories I began to hear while doing research there,” he said.

“Stories of Chinese labourers being imported to our country is largely overlooked and ignored.

“And the irony is that China eventually emerged as a world power because of the Chinese farmers. This story spans three continents: North America, Europe and China.

“But it took many years to raise the money (to make the film) and I didn’t get it funded until near the end of the project.”

Omni TV and CCTV (Chinese state TV) eventually funded the project, with the expectation that millions of people across China will see Tricks on the Dead when it’s released there.

urrey RCMP are hunting for two young men, one of them from Richmond, who have been charged with attempted murder and recklessly discharging a firearm in relation to a shooting last week beside an elementary school.

Chief Supt. Bill Fordy said that warrants have been issued for Shakiel Singh Basra and Richmond’s Amarpreet Samra, both 21, after the Crown approved charges. “What we are all asking for is the public’s continued and enhanced support so we can locate and arrest these two men,” Fordy, the officer in charge of Surrey RCMP, told reporters at a news conference.

Both men are considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone who spots them should call 911 or a special tip line, 604-915-6566.

Surrey RCMP were called to the 7600-block of 124 Street about 6 p.m. Sept. 15 after reports of a shooting in the area.

The 22-year-old victim was found with serious injuries beside Strawberry Hill elementary. Some of the shots hit the school, as children were playing nearby.

“The details related to this shooting are very disturbing,” Fordy said, adding that it was fortunate there was no “collateral damage. ...

That almost happened here.

Thankfully it didn’t.”

Dog killer can still own pets, judge T

he B.C. SPCA’s chief prevention and enforcement officer is “extremely disappointed” that a Richmond man who brutally stabbed his dog to death has not been banned from owning animals.

Last week, Artyom Goncharuk was given a nine month conditional sentence and two years of probation after pleading guilty to one charge of killing an animal.

A second charge of causing an animal to be in distress was stayed.

While serving his conditional sentence and probation, Goncharuk will be subject to a number of conditions, but none of them prohibit him from owning or caring for animals.

“It’s a very common order in animal-cruelty cases and, to be honest, one of the most effective,” said the SPCA’s Marcie Moriarty.

On Sept. 15, 2014, Richmond RCMP were called to Goncharuk’s home, where the lifeless body of Goncharuk’s three-year-old Pomeranian, Kaylly, was discovered. The dog had been stabbed 61 times.

Moriarty said it’s her understanding that mentalhealth issues were a factor.

The file was turned over to the SPCA for investigation and Goncharuk was charged in March.

Breaking ground on an affordable Habitat GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter

GWOODRICHMONDNEWS.COM

A

first-of-its-kind affordable housing project for Richmond, to be managed by Habitat for Humanity, officially broke ground Friday afternoon on Ash Street.

The non-profit housing organization plans to build six, modest-sized homes on a large lot that once housed a transition house.

BC Housing sold the land to Habitat at a discounted rate — $400,000 for the $1.9 million lot.

The goal of Habitat is to help low to moderate income families transition into the housing market.

“We move families into a home where we stabilize their shelter costs at 30 per cent of their income through an interest-free mortgage,” explained Stephani Samaridis, Habitat’s operations director.

Under the program, families can only earn $35,000 to $65,000 in after-tax income.

The money the families pay toward a mortgage is saved by Habitat and returned to them; however, it can only be used as a down payment on a market-priced home.

Habitat seeks out families who are in unsafe or unsuitable rental conditions.

“It’s a step out of uncertain rental conditions into a stable home environment where they have a community around them, and then, eventually, they can move into an area that they can choose,” said Samaridis, while

noting that families may typically stay in the Habitat home between five to 20 years.

Each house is about 1,775 square-feet, with three bedrooms for the mortgaging family. Also in the house is a small, two-bedroom rental unit.

The rental units are targeted toward single parents with one child or grandparents.

People renting the secondary suit can’t earn more than $35,000 in income.

The rental money will go toward the upkeep of the development with the balance going back to the homeowner family, said Samaridis.

Chosen homeowners will have needed to complete 500 volunteer hours with Habitat, while renters will require 250 hours.

“That’s their investment, as well,” said Samaridis.

The development is the culmination of volunteer contributions and donations from the community and corporate sponsors that keep the mortgages low.

Abbarch Architecture designed the development for free and PWL landscape architects also added its services free of charge.

Volunteers will help build the homes and sponsors will provide materials at cost, said Samaridis.

Meanwhile, the City of Richmond planning staff and city council endorsed the development, which was questioned by neighbouring residents who expressed concerns about design, density and traffic.

Each home has a carport and the development can be accessed from Ash Street or a cul-de-sac at Dayton Court.

Each home would cost about $290,000 to build but about half of those costs are expected to be covered by the donations.

Homeowners are expected to maintain their homes prior to moving out and any costs associated with repairs would come out of the savings.

The 12-unit development will include a communal barbeque and picnic area.

“We don’t want it built in a way where it divides one another. We’re encouraging a community feel model,” said Samaridis.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie and Richmond East MLA Linda Reid were on hand for the groundbreaking ceremony on Friday.

When asked if Canada needs a national housing strategy, Reid said it was a good question, best answered by the Ministry of Housing, while Brodie said more money for federal co-op housing projects is needed.

Both said the new Habitat project would be a welcome addition to the community.

“If we didn’t have a home to go to, a place of connections, where would we be?” asked Reid.

rezoning proposal to build a microbrewery near Ironwood Plaza passed unanimously through Richmond city council Monday evening.

Pending a successful rezoning application, the 11,000 square-foot brewing facility, planned by Fuggles and Warlock Craftworks Ltd., will be housed in an industrial warehouse on Horseshoe Way. Also, pending approval from the provincial liquor board, Fuggles plans to operate an on-site store, a tasting lounge, a tour area and an outdoor picnic spot.

However, the facility must overcome various regulatory hurdles. For instance, to have a lounge associated with a manufacturing licence, 80 per cent of the product sold would need to be brewed on site.

Council’s endorsement of the proposal means the rezoning application will go to public consultation, as well as a public hearing.

The Fuggles brewery would be situated next door to a medical marijuana research lab.

agement plan expected to “manage and enhance” the city’s ecological assets.

The Ecological Network Management Strategy outlines Richmond’s remaining natural areas, which constitute 23 per cent of the municipality if the intertidal marine areas of Sturgeon Bank and the South Arm Islands are included.

Aside from large marine areas, the city has many ecological “hubs” such as Terra Nova Rural Park and the Richmond Nature Park. It also has ecological “corridors” such as the numerous sloughs and trails.

The strategy aims to improve the urban ecology of singlefamily neighbourhoods by promoting and supporting “backyard naturalization.”

Managing rainwater, planting native species, keeping an inventory of trees and preventing fragmentation of agricultural areas within the city are other objectives.

On Monday, at a council meeting, Coun. Harold Steves moved a resolution for the city to research how agricultural land is being used by production facilities, such as wineries.

Steves said he is concerned businesses that use agricultural products are allowed to set up shop on protected farmland without adequately farming the surrounding land. He said he would prefer facilities be built on non-farmable land in order to preserve farmable soil.

The strategy claims to be conducting work to address the eroding Sturgeon Bank, which is managed by the province.

Cops hunt sex assault suspect Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

R

ichmond Mounties have asked the public for help after a man allegedly sexually assaulted a teenage girl on her school grounds in broad daylight.

The RCMP are also warning parents and students to be vigilant after the girl reported being groped and flashed at by a man, thought to be around 40 years old, inside the boundary of Palmer secondary on St. Alban’s Road near Blundell Road at around 7:40 a.m. on Tuesday.

Police say the girl in question is shaken up, but otherwise unharmed. She has been offered counselling. Her age and grade is not being released in a bid to protect her identity.

According to Richmond RCMP, the suspect fled the scene immediately after the incident.

He is described as Caucasian, 40 or

older, 5` 7” – 5` 8” tall, medium build, long dark beard with moustache, possibly red or brown in colour, bushy eyebrows and dark hair.

At the time of the alleged offence, he was wearing dark pants, a grey/dark hoodie, and a beanie-style toque. A light blue, older model, sedan may also be associated with the suspect. Police are hoping to release a forensic, composite sketch soon.

“We encourage parents and students to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police immediately,” said Cpl. Dave Edge, of the Richmond RCMP Youth Section.

“We are looking for any information you may have to assist us in our investigation.”

If you have any information on this crime, contact Const. Jason Pickering at 604-278-1212. To leave a tip on this crime, email Richmond_Tips@rcmp-grc. gc.ca or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Coquitlam-based Harken Towing, said he’d chartered the Harken 10 to Jones Marine Services, whose president, Daryl Jones, was away from the office Monday and unavailable for comment.

MacKenzie described the Harken 10 as a “great” and “safe” tug and said it was “out of the ordinary” for such a boat to go down. He said the loss of three tugs this month could be “a run of bad luck.”

LETTERSto the Editor Public safety not Name-calling has to stop compromised

Dear Editor, Re: “Gang shots spark questions,” News Aug. 26.

To clear the confusion, I wish to clarify what happened in the follow-up to the shooting incident in the Dover Park area in August.

After the incident occurred late in the evening on Friday, Aug. 21, primary response quickly took place in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Shortly after 2 a.m. on Saturday, Richmond RCMP issued a media release to advise of the incident which was under investigation. This release was also sent to members of city staff and council. Social media also quickly broadcast word of the situation.

Throughout the early hours of Saturday morning, city staff were in constant communication with the RCMP. Together, they made arrangements to provide parking for residents whose normal parking access was temporarily restricted during the investigation.

Staff and the RCMP also worked together with some of the elected officials to move a community event planned for Dover Park around midday Saturday.

The RCMP followed their normal protocols for keeping key city officials notified during major crime incidents. They also kept the public informed through media releases and other communications as the situation unfolded.

A formal press conference was held on Sunday to disclose further information.

In any criminal incident, the RCMP must first secure the safety of the public and first responders. At the same time, the RCMP must protect the integrity of their investigation so that they will ultimately bring those involved to justice.

Timely communications to the public and other stakeholders must be conducted within those parameters. In reviewing this chain of events, I am convinced that the RCMP’s communications with key stakeholders including the public, city staff and elected officials, were handled most appropriately without compromising public safety.

lous terminology has become the refuge of those who may have their own “thinly veiled” ulterior motive for muddying the waters with such language.

The inability of the council and city managers to grasp the nettle on the sign issue is an example of the city straying from its vision of being the most liveable, appealing and well-managed city in Canada.

Until someone can explain how ignoring evidence of significant cultural dislocation is going to get us closer to that vision, I will continue to try to hold the city and council to account for

living up to their vision rather than resorting to idle or expedient (in) action.

Without a vision at the heart of city and council decision-making what do we have?

Nothing, but personal agendas.

So, let us never again resort to grade-school name-calling of the sort used last week. The discussion does not deserve to be dumbed down in that way.

Why anyone would want to do that is an interesting and not entirely irrelevant question.

Loo dealing with reality Dear Editor, Contrary to the Kelly Greene letter you published (“Loo forgets who voted,” Letters, Sept. 23), I think Ms. Loo and some others on council are doing their job.

The location of the VAFFC tank farm is set; the battle to see it stopped or relocated is lost.

It appears to me that Ms. Loo has accepted that reality and is ready to get on with the new priority of ensuring it is as safe as possible.

This likely means battling, again, with VAFFC for on-site staffing, immediate response, comprehensive environmental clean-up plans and/or contribution to a

new fire hall close to the area.

While it may irk Greene that Loo is no longer speaking out against the jet fuel tank farm location, citizens are not well! Coun. Alexa Loo. served by council Photo submitted members who refuse to accept reality and thereby fail to do their duty to ensure the best possible outcome for Richmond voters.

Growing a miracle on Garden City Lands

JANG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Publisher Pierre Pelletier

Dear Editor, Re: “Racist tones thinly veiled,” Letters Sept. 25.

I was dismayed to see an attempt to cast efforts to address foreign language signs as being driven by racism.

Playing the race card is too easy, too convenient.

It is also lazy.

By taking the time to read the dictionary definition of racism, you will find that what is happening here in Richmond is the antithesis of racism.

What is being requested, proposed and otherwise sought is an increase in inter-cultural cohesion, dialogue and understanding.

Striking out with libel-

I

t’s just one little corner, but its designation will greatly affect the future of the Garden City Lands as a whole.

The corner in question is the northwest section, south of Alderbridge Way and east of Garden City Road, where there is a raised area of clean, clay soil. The soil needs amending, but agricultural scientists have concluded the area is particularly viable for agriculture.

The scientists, all of whom have PhDs, as well as practical experience, are the faculty members of Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Sustainable Agriculture program. They’ve tested the soil for minerals and are confident the soil in that corner can be used for growing crops, orchards, farm animals, etc. Moreover, they have made these findings public.

Successful and leading-edge agriculture on the lands depend on bona fide farming of the northwest corner. In fact, for most purposes, it’s the only area for sustainable growing and related research until dyke roads are put in to control flooding. (Like the West Dyke beside

Sturgeon Banks, they’d also serve as wide trails.)

Not surprisingly, the KPU scientists have indicated, for many years, that they wish to farm the area, together with organic-soil land to the south. They would use the land for research, education and outreach. Such a program would lead to expert advice to community gardeners and new farmers, seasonal interpretive signs and much more.

As farmers of the lands, the KPU scientists and their Sustainable Agriculture students would serve as trailblazers. Through them, hard-earned lessons would be ready for passing on, enabling new growers to farm with amended soil and keep improving it.

But there’s a problem.

It’s evident in a letter from the Agricultural Land Commission that the city has portrayed the northwest corner as not particularly suitable for agriculture, which is false. Adding to the concern, the city is taking steps to prioritize other uses over farming in the area.

Granted, the KPU program would get a few acres, but elsewhere.

The Garden City Conservation Society has sent a critique to alert the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) about the situation.

Happily, we’re experienced at that. When we emerged as a citizens’ movement long ago, we appealed to the ALC to save the Garden City Lands from powerful developers, including the city.

Against all odds, we won. This time, though, we’re not sure how involved the commission will be in this situation.

We’ve shared our concerns with Richmond council and urged action that gives agriculture priority in-keeping with the lands’ ALR status.

The city acknowledges that the lands are within the ALR, but continues to undermine that status, risking a loss of integrity, legacy and community wellness.

The city’s Garden City Lands project leader has been asked to call me, but this problem is a result of decisions and attitudes higher up the city’s bureaucratic food chain.

To read our letters to the commission and council, google “Natural legacies versus waste.” You’ll reach my blog and see the links.

As the recent house bylaw outcome shows, miracles can be earned. For the next miracle, we ask the city to respect the lands’ ALR status.

Jim Wright is president of the Garden City Conservation Society.

LETTERSto the Editor

New life for election signs Dear Editor, After Halloween, pumpkins look ridiculous hanging around the front yard. Their once broad grin and bright triangular eyes melt into themselves and give the appearance of a 60s movie star in need of a face lift. The same is true of Christmas trees and electoral signs of hopeful candidates. After their eventful day has past they’re garbage Get them out of the yard! Get them out of the house! Get them off the streets! We don’t want to see them anymore!

To rid yourself of a pumpkin you just drop it into the new handy-dandy, two-wheeled Green Cart and TA-DAH it’s gone. The dead tree that was once heralded in high esteem is back on the car roof off to the firemen who kill it some more by chopping it to mulch. But the election signs are not so easily trashed. No Green Cart or mulching for them. But they can be used for many projects around the house, or they can be shaped and formed to make a statement in the community.

My dad, for example, back in the day when election signs were plywood, would support the candidate with party colours closest to our house colour. He didn’t care what the party stood for he just wanted the plywood to build a crappy shed and fence.

Both shed and fence matched in colour and also, unfortunately, vertical stability.

Today’s election signs are now made from plastic-coated cardboard that have no shed or fence building qualities. Why, a big gust of hot air would send them flying (makes you wonder how they made it through the

campaigning). So now, one has to get creative to recycle and reuse this free windfall, such as turning the sign around in your front yard and painting “FOR SALE” on it. A very popular choice in Richmond. Or you could collect the signs and trade them with your friends. “I’ll trade you two Conservatives for a Green Party.” (much rarer).

You could use the back of the signs and cut out pumpkins, snowmen and other outdoor decorations for the upcoming holidays.

Save them for next summer and make a slip-n-slide for the family. What could give greater pleasure than sliding your butt across the face of that bum you elected now in Ottawa?

Why not have the school kids make snow geese from them and flood their school fields with them so the real grass eating, poo-fouling field fowls can’t.

Use the back of the sign to write your appraisal of city hall completely in your native tongue with a rating from one to 10 at the bottom. Place the sign on the lawn at city hall and let them figure out if it’s good or bad or the price of a dozen hot wings downtown.

Be sure to save a least one election sign of the person you elected to represent you in Ottawa. And after a period of time (sometimes short, sometimes a little longer) when they screw up on an issue you hold dear, paint over all the sign, except for their smiling face. Then again, completely in your own tongue, write, “I put this bum in Ottawa and all I got was this crumby sign!”

Changes: Finding positive alternatives From page 10 Erbachay Health Centers’ policies require all employees to become versed in and knowledgeable about the uses of cannabis.

This started my journey of discovering the new world of the many benejts of cannabis.

All it takes is to have an open mind and the willingness to try something that might have a profound positive impact on your life.

The most enjoyable part of my day is interacting with members and hearing their personal stories of how cannabis has improved their quality of life.

I am in a unique position as an employee as I am privileged to witness the healthy transformation that new members go through.

They turn to cannabis as a last resort and the hope of getting off addictive medication and other negative side effects they get from many prescription pharmaceutical medicines.

My dogmas that were re-enforced mostly through the media, the educational system, my parents, and my peers were slowly being chipped away by witnessing real people actually being helped by a plant called cannabis.

An epiphany hit me.

Big pharmaceutical corporations are making billions of dollars on people’s sicknesses.

They are not in the business of jnding a cure because that will put them out of business;

they are in the business of providing you your prescription in perpetuity.

They don’t care if your liver or kidneys fail, or if their prescription causes a heart attack, stroke or even death. What’s unbelievable is these drugs are legal while a plant, that studies are showing to be a natural antispasmodic, anti-cancer and so on, is being demonized.

Because of the demonization of this plant, many people are suffering and dying as a result of their dogmas.

I am angry for being told a lie and believing that lie. I am angry for believing that my government had my interest at heart.

I blindly followed like a sheep and did not question or ask why?

Now, I am so blessed to have found and stumbled upon this industry because it is rewarding and wonderful to help people.

My belief is strengthened through the many benejts that cannabis has to offer and now my deep desire is to educate the masses that cannabis can be a healthy alternative.

By knowing the facts through your own research, you can empower yourself by understanding that you have choices other than pharmaceuticals.

The tides are changing as more people are coming out of the closet with their openness about using cannabis to alleviate their ailments.

Your generous support helps to make a difference for the families in Richmond who access the Front Porch Counselling Program.

oday, Amanda Skillin is a newly qualified English tutor at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s (KPU) Richmond campus and is a valuable member of the support team at a transition house for women in the city.

Just nine months ago, Skillin was a stay-at-home mom of 23 years and hadn’t been in full-time education since graduating from high school 35 years ago.

Skillin yearned for a change, so she enrolled in KPU’s career choices and life success program, an intense and selfreflective course designed to guide career, education and life goals.

Many students, according to KPU, come out with “life-changing plans,” and Skillin was no exception.

The former stay-at-home mom knew she wanted to assist others in a positive, possibly life-changing way.

Although her high school grades had once been enough to get her accepted into the University of Toronto, they were not up to current admission requirements.

Her English would need upgrading if she was to head in a new career direction, so she enrolled in a Faculty of Academic and Career Advancement’s (ACA) English course in January.

“A few weeks into the course, I learned I did not ‘need’ to take the course – I scored high enough on their English test.

But I chose to continue with English,” said Skillin, a Richmond resident.

“I found I was learning so much about academic writing and fine-tuning my grammar and writing skills, that I could only benefit by continuing.”

And benefit she did. In June, Skillin became an English tutor at KPU Richmond.

A month later, she became a women’s support worker at a transition house, an opportunity that came directly from her time at KPU, and one she said she’s “incredibly fortunate” to have.

In her spare time, Skillin also sits on the board of the Co-operative Housing Federation of British Columbia, volunteers at Richmond Family Place and does advocacy work around co-operative and

affordable housing.

Reading, writing and oral communication are among the nine skills the Canadian government deems essential to success in the workplace.

At KPU, the Faculty of ACA ensures all learners receive the essential skills training they need to succeed in the classroom and on the job.

“These…skills are really an umbrella over all that we do in ACA and at KPU, as we stimulate and facilitate learning with our students,” said Patrick Donahoe, dean of ACA. “We want them to be intentional about their learning and to find multiple ways to develop the skills and experiences that will make them a top choice for B.C. employers.

“I love to watch student’s self-confidence grow as they make the connection between learning here, a work life beyond university and service to the community.”

Last Friday, KPU hosted the sixth annual Essential Skills Day; an event created

by Life Literacy Canada to raise awareness about the importance of workplace literacy and essential skills training.

Abundance of local arts explains why Richmond was asked to host Culture launch: organizer Christopher Sun Contributor

L

ive music, painting and teenage acrobats flying through the air marked the launch of B.C.’s sixth annual Culture Days weekend.

About 150 people attended the opening of the celebration of art and culture at the Britannia Shipyard’s Seine Net Loft last Thursday afternoon. Coast Salish elder and local resident Roberta Price gave a welcome and blessing, art produced from the recent Grand Prix of Art was displayed, Steveston’s Angelica Poversky performed slam poetry and there were performances by members of the Richmond Delta Youth Orchestra, Fraser River Fiddlers, Richmond Gymnastics Association and Circus Lab, entertaining the crowds.

The abundance of art and culture and the nurturing it receives from the city are reasons why Richmond was chosen to host this year’s launch, said culture days coordinator Nazarin Shoja.

“Richmond has a host of activities and is really leading the province,” Shoja said, explaining the city was one of the first communities to start celebrating Culture Days.

“There is so much going on in the City of Richmond, and the city and the people are very supportive.”

Besides viewing art and being entertained by live music, workshops were held, teaching beginner photography, embroidery, painting, calligraphy and different types of dancing.

“The best part is it’s all free,” Shoja added.

About 80 events were held at 35 locations throughout Richmond. Province-wide, an estimated 7,000 free events were held in 850 communities.

ollaboration.

It’s a word Sally Stubbs has lived with most of her life. And it’s something she plans on continuing during her two-month term as Richmond’s recently installed writer in residence.

“I grew up in a family, as most writers do, that had a lot of books around the house,” Stubbs said.

“And my father disappeared in a plane crash when I was young, so my grandparents helped out my mom. And my grandfather, he was my mentor and was probably my closest friend when I was a kid. It

writing department, then shifted to art history, and then shifted again to a newly formed program called creative drama. That’s where she discovered her passion for working in theatre and with young people.

Part of that will work its way into Stubbs’ time in Richmond where she hopes to develop a small community of writers. That mission was kicked off last Friday when she was formally introduced during the city’s Culture Days events that included one-onone manuscript consultations.

While being a writer in residence — she is Richmond’s fourth — means something a little different to each person who has held the temporary title, Stubbs said, for her, it reaches down to her roots as an SUNDAY

“For me, it’s an opportunity to work with playwrights in a way that will, I hope, inspire and excite a diverse group of people, and help them with writing in all different genres,” she said. Through October and November 2015, the Richmond Arts Centre, Minoru Place Activity Centre and Richmond Public Library will host a series of free public Writerin-Residence events, each a unique opportunity for Stubbs to engage with the community-at-large.

was a bit odd, but I guess I really needed a dad.”

Stubbs, a celebrated playwright and arts educator, said her grandfather, a journalist who spent time with the Winnipeg Tribune, was a wonderful, brilliant and crazy man who she wrote stories with growing up.

“He was originally from Ireland and came over in a cattle ship during the potato famine, and he played the piano. He sang. He was this astonishing guy,” she said. “And we’d write together. We’d tell stories, so that was something I knew I wanted to do.”

A force of mother nature hits Gateway Philip Raphael

Staff Reporter praphael@richmond-news.com

W

! Margo M Kane K and d Kevin K i Loring L i star t in i G Gateway t Th Theatre’s t ’ season opener, For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again, a funny and highly recognizable take on the mother-son dynamic. Photo submitted.

e likely all know someone like Nana — the mother, aunt, grandmother who has that unique ability to combine severe doses of admonishment with an underlying sense of powerful, maternal love.

That’s what makes seeing her night in and night out as the focal point of For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again — Gateway Theatre’s first production of the new season that runs Oct. 8 - 24 — so much fun, says, Kevin Loring, who plays the production’s narrator.

“Nana, she’s a force of nature to be reckoned with,” says Loring, part of the two-person cast that includes Margo Kane, filling the shoes of Nana, who is essentially award-winning Quebec playwright and novelist Michel Tremblay’s mother.

“And we all know someone like her, somewhere in our lives.”

Loring says his role is to set up Nana to go off on one of her long-streaming monologues that express disdain for her offspring, in a loving and truly caring manner.

“Nana is a really dramatic, simple woman who is also explosive,” says Loring who first saw the production while he was studying drama at Langara’s Studio 58 about a decade and a half ago with well known Vancouver stage performer Nicola Cavendish in the lead role.

“It’s one of those plays where the character can make you cringe and then laugh out loud with tears streaming down your face. It’s an amazing balance that is created within a character.”

The opening scene where Nana launches into a tirade about her son and his friends tossing ice into the roadway to see what drivers would do is a prime example as she concludes the juvenile acts of bedevilment will ensure her offspring will never amount to anything in this world.

“It’s all about those mother-and-son mo-

ments where a mom can make their child feel guilty about anything they do,” Loring says, adding the effect on the audience is significant because they’ve either seen it happen to themselves or their friends.

“Nana is so universal. We all know this woman,” he says. “She’s in every town.”

Loring and Kane are members of Full Circle First Nations Performance and For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again marks the first time Gateway Theatre has had an all First Nations cast.

Loring, who lives in east Vancouver, is a Nlaka’pamux artist and an award-winning actor and playwright. His play Where the Blood Mixes won the Governor General’s Award, a Jessie Richardson Theatre award, and was nominated for a Dora Mavor Moore Award.

Kane is a Cree-Saulteaux artist, a pioneer in the Aboriginal artistic community and has won multiple awards including a LEO. Tickets are available by calling the Box Office at 604-270-1812 or online at gatewaytheatre.com.

Pacific Fest tops expectations T

he huge success of the 2015 Gateway Theatre Pacific Festival makes a resounding case for more diversity in theatre, according to Gateway’s artistic director, Jovanni Sy. Throughout the month of September, Gateway hosted some high-calibre Chineselanguage theatre from Hong Kong and Canada, showcasing international theatre to Lower Mainland audiences.

The results shattered box office and attendance expectations.

“The outpouring of support was simply overwhelming,” said Sy. Ticket revenue for the 2015 Festival was three times that of last year’s inaugural event.

More than 3,000 people attended the 2015 Pacific Festival, which featured four productions from Hong Kong, culminating in a sold-out run of Tuesdays with Morrie. The production featured legendary actor and theatre educator Chung King Fai. Some local audience members described this as a “once in a lifetime” opportunity to see

! Gateway Theatre’s 2015 Pacific Festival wrapped up with a sold-out run of Tuesdays with Morrie starring Chung King Fai, right. Photo submitted.

King Sir, as he is affectionately known, live on stage.

The Festival also bridged cultural and generational boundaries.

“Our shows brought people together,“ Sy said. “Our surtitles allowed both Chineseand English-speakers to enjoy our shows. Generations of families connected over our programming – parents who primarily speak Chinese attended alongside their children who mainly speak English.”

The success of this year’s

festival is a sign of things to come as Gateway moves towards more inclusive and diverse programming in the future.

“I feel compelled to move the Gateway Theatre towards truly reflecting today’s Richmond,” Sy said.

“Our tagline for the past two seasons has been You Belong Here and it’s something we seriously strive towards.”

Plans are already underway for the next year’s Festival.

Canadians re-up with Oval

R

ichmond Sockeyes remained perfect on the road this season with a 4-1 win over the Port Moody Panthers on Saturday night.

Local product Noah Wozney led the way with a pair of goals. Michael Tilbury and Roy McClue also scored, while Nicholas Wicks and Arjun Badh chipped in with two assists each. Kurt Russell picked up his fourth win of the campaign by making 29 saves. The veteran stopper leads the league in goals against average (1.37) and save percentage (.948).

The Sockeyes (4-1-0-1) return to action Thursday night when defending Pacific Junior Hockey League champion North Vancouver Wolf Pack (4-3-0-0) visit Minoru Arena at 7 p.m.

T

he Greater Vancouver Canadians will be enjoying home ice advantage at the Richmond Olympic Oval for at least the next three seasons.

The B.C. Major Midget Hockey League club made a three-year commitment to remain at the Oval after re-locating to the world class venue for the 2012-13 campaign. The Canadians are a regional rep team for 15-to-17-year-olds and represent top talent from Richmond, South Delta and Vancouver. Recent graduates include 2015 St. Louis Blues draft pick Glenn Gawdin, along with current NHLers Evander Kane and Brendan Gallagher.

The partnership with the Oval goes beyond regular ice times.

The league is able to utilize both rinks to host Showcase Weekends and renovations were recently completed on the Canadians own dressing room.

Each player also receives membership to the Oval to take advantage of the many programs that are offered.

“Our dressing room is now on par or even better than most teams in the B.C. Hockey League,” said Canadians head coach Phil Alalouf. “And you saw this past weekend with the Showcase how we now have bleachers to accommodate the fans. The Oval has really stepped up for us and we are exciting to be playing here.”

and practices also makes it a desired option for players from Richmond Minor and Seafair.

The club typically has a large local representation and this year is no exception with seven players: Kyle Ahlfield, Michael Araki-Young, Chris Douglas, Nick Marsh, EJ Shaw, Thomas Von Schoenberg and Julius Zhang.

Despite losing all but five players to junior hockey, the

Canadians are off to a solid start out of the gate with a 3-10 record, including a sweep of the Kootenay Ice last weekend at the Oval. Most of the new talent has come from academy teams.

“This isn’t a team with two or three standouts but rather excellent balance when you go right down our entire roster,” added Alalouf.

“I think the academy kids

have already discovered just how competitive this league is, especially with the new player boundaries. Kootenay has not been one of the strongest teams over the years but nothing came easy against them over the weekend and it’s going to be like that all season.”

Brennan Gaytmenn’s first period goal was the difference in the Canadians’ 1-0 win Sunday in the series finale.

enver will be the next stop in Jordan Gilles’ lacrosse career.

The Richmond standout was selected 52nd overall by the Colorado Mammoth in Monday’s National Lacrosse League Draft. Gilles enjoyed three outstanding seasons in the B.C. Junior “A” Lacrosse League, helping the Coquitlam Adanacs win back-toback championships, then had a key role in the Delta Islanders reaching the

league finals for just the second time in franchise history.

The Richmond Roadrunner alumni is a standout transition player who also excels at his own end of the floor.

“Jordan has excellent speed and the ability to finish,” said Mammoth president and general manager Steve Govett. “We expect all three of our draft picks to compete for roster spots.”

Gilles was also named the BCJALL’s most sportsmanlike player this past season. The McMath graduate is currently playing for the Langara men’s soccer team.

He won’t have to look far to find a familiar face when he heads to training camp. The Mammoth’s roster features former Islander and Adanac standout Eli McLaughlin who is coming off his rookie season.

ave a toddler that wants to play hockey, but is too young for minor hockey? What about a young child who is interested in playing, but feels embarrassed because they have never played before? Or perhaps a youth with a disability who wants to play hockey, but there are no programs designed for their challenges.

If you have such a child, Seafair Minor Hockey offers a program that is catered to their needs.

The Seafair “Family Hockey Program” is now in its third year of operation. It is a very inexpensive option that allows family members to go on the ice with their child to play hockey. Youth with disabilities can also come out with their 1-on-1 worker.

All participants (including parents) at minimum, must wear skates, helmet, gloves and have a hockey stick. Full gear for the children/youth is suggested, but not required. There is supervision but no instruction. The idea is for parents to play with their child on the ice.

The program begins this Saturday (Oct. 3) from 2- 3 p.m. at the Richmond Ice Centre’s Coliseum rink. It is open to all Richmond families, whether they are a Seafair member or not.

For any questions about the program send them to khamaguchi@seafairhockey.com.

The 15-year-old Quilchena Golf and Country Club junior carded rounds of 79-75-74-75 to finish tied for 25th in the 15-country event which took place at the Marshes Golf Club.

Korea cruised to a decisive victory in the team competition, finishing the 72-hole event at -22 — 18 strokes better than runner-up Denmark. Sweden rounded out the podium finishes. Canada #2, which featured Chan along with Quilchena teammate Alisha Lau, finished in 13th at +31. Canada

#1 was 14th at +47.

Korea’s Hy-jin Choi took to individual honours at 12-under thanks to a sizzling 65 in Friday’s final round. She was seven shots better than Denmark’s Cecilie Bofill.

Lau, 15, was Canada’s top player for the first 36 holes. She fired an opening round 76 despite a quadruple bogey on the par-5 16th and a triple bogey on the par-5 2nd hole. The round did include five birdies.

The National Development Team member followed that up with a very consistent second round of 74 that included 14 pars.

Chan seemed to get better as

the week progressed, highlighted by her third round 74 that included a pair of birdies. She closed with a 75 which featured an even par 36 on the back nine.

Chan, who is hoping to make the Golf Canada National Team next year, says she felt a little bit more pressure this week to perform well. But, added she wanted to treat it as any other event and have fun.

“It’s so exciting to be here and represent Canada,” she explained.

But if the whole golf thing doesn’t work out for Chan, she admits she has a back-up plan.

“I want to go to college before maybe turning professional. I want to play golf, but I want to be a neurosurgeon too,” she said, nonchalantly, of her secondary career choice.

The other four Canadians competing included Euna Han (Coquitlam), Hannah Lee (Surrey), Tiffany Kong (Vancouver) and Ontario’s Grace St-Germain.

Canada #1 was third at last year’s inaugural event, led by the efforts of current LPGA star Brooke Henderson. The 2014 championships took place at the Angus Golf Club which also hosted the Pan Am Games golf competition.

Jeff Thompson, the Chief Sport Officer for Golf Canada, brought

the tournament idea to International Golf Federation (IGF).

“This is a benchmarking opportunity for us, and it’s an opportunity for us to see how the girls are stacking up,” says Thompson.

“This gives the girls an opportunity to see what’s going on around them in the world of golf.”

On the range…

Richmond Chris Crisologo continued an impressive start to his sophomore season at Simon Fraser University, just missing out on his second straight victory.

He fired back-to-back rounds of 68 but it wasn’t enough to win the 44th Annual Viking Men’s

Golf Invitational Tournament on Tuesday at the Bellingham Golf & Country Club — finishing tied for second and one stroke back of Dixie State’s Andrew Chu Crisologo earned medalist honors at the season-opening Saint Martin’s Invitational, carding a seven-under-par 206 over the three rounds, tying the conference three-round record for the event. He set a tournament record of eight-under-par 63 in the final round.

SFU next competes at the Chico State University Invitational on Oct. 5-6 at Butte Creek Golf Course in Chico, Ca.
