Tories a no-show at social justice debate GRAEMEWOOD

polluter pay taxes and greater corporate taxes (to 2009 levels) Vincent Chiu was the only ccandidate to state that his party would “immediately” restore international aid spending tto United Nations standards of 0.7 per cent of G GDP (Canada spends 0.25 per cent). Candidates were asked to comment on the T Tories’ pledge to set up a police hotline for “barbaric cultural practices” involving women. “Why is this an issue and not the missing aand murdered Aboriginal women?” asked S Stewart, whose NDP has pledged to investiggate the matter immediately with a cabinetlevel committee led by the prime minister.

ll three opposition parties in Richmond felt the cold shoulder from Conservative candidates Alice Wong and Kenny Chiu, neither of whom attended a federal election forum Tuesday night at Gilmore United Church. The 120-strong, senior-laden crowd had expected Wong and Kenny Chiu to speak to issues of social justice, the topic of the evening, which was organized by the church, Richmond Poverty Response Committee and Richmond’s University Women’s Club (CFUW) in the run-up to the Oct. 19 election. Wong and Chiu both declined to attend, saying they “can’t attend every meeting.” “For democracy to work, we need to make sure each candidate is present. In this kind of meeting, it is typical for the Conservatives not to show up,” said Liberal candidate Lawrence Woo. The Greens, Liberals and the NDP took the opportunity to make promises on improving the likes of healthcare, student debt and environmental protection. Liberal candidate Joe Peschisolido said one of the keys to healthcare delivery is more collaboration and engagement with the provinces. NDP candidate Scott Stewart said austerity measures in healthcare spending “began with the Liberals and continued with the Conservatives.”

Peschisolido has maintained his Liberals have a more realistic approach to spending by running “minor” deﬁcits for social programs. “If you want to spend money, you have to get it from somewhere,” said Peschisolido. The issue of affordable housing was also raised. “The NDP will restore federal subsidized

housing,” said NDP candidate Jack Trovato. The Greens would commit similar measures to restore co-op housing, said Green candidate Vincent Chiu, who told the audience his generation is experiencing “shattered dreams” in the wake of growing post-secondary debt. With the Greens proposing a new set of

Last Thursday, Wong did attend a forum on sseniors organized by CARP chair Geoff Cowman, who said Conservative cuts to the CBC aand Canada Post were most on the minds of sseniors. Over the weekend, all parties except for the Greens attended a Chinese-speaking forum G hosted by Fairchild TV and Talentvision at Aberdeen Centre. Vancouver East candidate Jenny Kwan represented the NDP while Richmond candidates Woo and Kenny Chiu took to the podium. The forum focused on marijuana, citizenship laws, Canada-China relations and immigration policies. There was also a meeting at the Yaohan Centre. Richmond Centre for Disability will be hosting a debate tonight (Wednesday) at the Minoru Place Activity Centre from 6 - 8 p.m.

Gotta go gender-neutral for KPU washrooms Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

he Richmond campus of Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) has installed three “gender-inclusive” washrooms in a bid to be more accommodating to transgendered and gender-non-conforming students and staff. A total of nine men’s and women’s washrooms in high-trafﬁc areas were installed across KPU’s four campuses in Cloverdale, Surrey, Langley and Richmond. The washrooms were identiﬁed for conversion to gender-inclusive, wheelchair-accessible facilities, which involved replacing signage, modifying sink and counter heights and adding grab bars, shelves and hooks. Seven washrooms are single-stall private

facilities; two have multiple stalls. “KPU has a long history of being a proudly open-access institution, and this is an extension of that philosophy, that commitment and that pledge,” said Dr. Alan Davis, president and vice-chancellor of KPU. The need for gender-inclusive washrooms was identiﬁed by the president’s diversity and equity committee, which was formed in 2012 with support from the student group Pride Kwantlen and the recommendations of an internal strategic planning initiative. “Everyone deserves a comfortable, accessible public washroom facility,” said Dr. Diane Naugler, director of the president’s diversity and equity committee at KPU and associate dean in the Faculty of Arts. “I’m proud of our committee and how the university is creating a gender-inclusive environment.”

Lecy: Guests discreet, but still guests From page 1 On the day the Richmond News visited Lecy, a rental car was parked on the small patch of grass inside the gate. Lecy said he’s noted the numerous licence plates (from Alberta to Manitoba) but the city told him that wasn’t enough evidence to prove there was a hotel still operating. Lecy said guests are now more discreet as they get picked up and dropped off with luggage. “So, on the outside it doesn’t look like there’s a lot going on,” said Lecy. According to City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend, the city has conducted 17 suspected hotel investigations, 11 of which are ongoing. In July, there were just seven ongoing investigations.

In 2014, the city conducted ﬁve investigations. “Investigations are generally complaint driven, however, we do also review various advertising sites for information on possible violations,” said Townsend, who did not say if the city has issued any ﬁnes this year. The city does allow for boarding and lodging as a secondary use for compensation, however, the property must be a permanent residence to someone, and bylaws limit temporary rentals to just two guests. The Residential Tenancy Branch has stated people may rent their homes on a nightly basis if it’s permitted by a municipality. The branch noted it is incumbent upon local governments to enforce zoning regulations.

Two young men connected to kidnapping, homicide Jane Seyd

Staff Reporter North Shore News

Two young Richmond men charged with interfering with a body in connection with a North Vancouver homicide case have been released on $5,000 bail. Dyllan James Green, 20, and Jacob Michael Gorelik,18, were granted bail by a judge Monday afternoon after a brief hearing in North Vancouver provincial court. Bail conditions for the two men include abiding by an 11 p.m. curfew and not communicating with co-accused in the case. A court-ordered ban prevents publication of evidence heard at the bail hearing. Two other men – Casey James Hiscoe, 21 and Tianyi Zhang, 23, believed to be from Richmond – face more serious charges of kidnapping a man named Peng Sun with intent to hold him for ransom between Sept. 27 and 29. Zhang and Hiscoe both remain in custody. Their next court date is this Thursday. All four were arrested around 3 a.m. Tuesday morning in the 900-block of Wellington Drive, North Vancouver. Police have not yet conﬁrmed Sun as the man found dead in North Vancouver Tuesday – possibly inside a white Bentley that was the focus of investigation by ofﬁcers from the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. Outside the courthouse Monday, Crown

prosecutor Brian MacFarlane said the investigation into the complex case is continuing. MacFarlane said the possibility of laying murder charges in the case is “certainly something that we’re considering.” MacFarlane said the victim in the kidnapping case, Peng Sun, is a young man in his early twenties. MacFarlane said he consented to the release of Green and Gorelik because they are alleged to have played a more minor role in the case and their release does not pose any danger to the public. Also outside the court, David Fai, lawyer for Green, said “there’s very little evidence my client knew what was going on.” So far, police have released few details about the case, including whether there is a connection between Sun and any of the accused. No information has been released about where Sun was kidnapped or held for two days. Sgt. Stephanie Ashton said Thursday police converged on Wellington Drive around 3 a.m Sept. 29 in response to an active investigation involving multiple jurisdictions across the Lower Mainland. Police blocked off the 900-block of Wellington and removed at least two cars from the scene, Sept. 29, including a white Bentley and a newer model Chevrolet Malibu. Neighbours said they had recently noticed the white Bentley as a new car parked on the street.

Port to study impact on whales Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

ort Metro Vancouver is researching the impact of large ships on whale habitat. With the support from the University of Victoria’s Ocean Networks Canada and JASCO Applied Sciences, the port has deployed a hydrophone listening station in the Strait of Georgia that will monitor underwater vessel noise, which is a threat to whales. Last month’s announcement comes as numerous projects are being planned independently of one another that could see a signiﬁcant spike in large fuel-carrying vessels running up and down the strait, as well as into the Fraser River. Listening devices will be placed in the strait’s shipping lane. Monitoring and understanding sound and its impact on marine mammals is a crucial aspect of good ocean management,” said Kate Moran, president and chief executive ofﬁcer of Ocean Networks Canada. Many of British Columbia’s whale populations are endangered, including killer whales and humpbacks. Noise pollution affects whales’ abilities to communicate, travel and seek food.

which remain in the river, as they pose no navigational or environmental threat, according to Transport Canada and the Canadian Coast Guard. “We are proud of the progress we’ve made in improving the river and ensuring owners take appropriate responsibility for their vessels or property,” said Tom Corsie, vice president of real estate at Port Metro Vancouver. The port said it attempts to work with owners of such vessels whenever possible. Last May, Conservative members of parliament shot down an NDP private members’ bill aimed at making the Coast Guard the sole receiver of wrecks. The bill would mean more money would be needed for the Coast Guard, as in some cases, abandoned boat owners are nowhere to be found. Some Conservatives said they would prefer a polluter-pay model with stricter penalties.

Dear Editor, Re: “Loo forgets who voted” and “Jumping on/off tunnelbridge merry-go-round,” Letters, Sept. 23. Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation (VAFFC) wishes to respond with corrections and clarifications to assertions in these two letters. Public safety and environmental protection are fundamental priorities for the Vancouver Airport Fuel Delivery Project. The fuel receiving facility tanks, located almost 1,000 metres away from any structures in the Riverport Sports and Entertainment and Waterstone Pier complexes, will be constructed to or exceed the requirements of the National Building Code and the B.C. Building Code. The facility design and comprehensive fire prevention measures will minimize the potential for accidental fires. An independent, third-party hazard and risk assessment concluded that a fire occurring in the process area or a tank fire are the potential scenarios for which the response measures should be designed. Statistically, neither have a probability of occurring over the life of the project. The assessment also calculated that the safe perimeter in the unlikely event of a tank fire is 69 metres, while the response planning safe perimeter is 130 metres from the centre of all the tanks, well short of any residential or heavily occupied properties. The marine terminal and fuel receiving facility will be manned 24 hours a day, providing immediate response to fires or other emergency situations.

Safety and environmental protection on the Fraser River are also a top priorities. The spill response capabilities for the project will add significant spill response equipment, planning, training, and operational expertise that will benefit all users of the Fraser River. Three to five vessels are expected to call on the terminal each month to meet current and medium term fuel requirements. This number only increases to six or seven if the requirement for fuel doubles over the long term, due to the increasing use of larger and modern tanker vessels. The facility will have two response boats which mobilize once a vessel enters the Fraser River, and will be on stand-by for the duration of off-loading to deploy containment equipment if required. The response to any spill would be immediate. At the terminal, boom and skimmers will be pre-deployed around the vessel to contain and recover a spill in the unlikely event of a release during off-loading. In addition, certified river pilots, escort tugs and doublehulled vessels will contribute to a very high level of safety. In the event of a spill, the marine terminal is required to promptly notify the Canadian Coast Guard, and federal and provincial authorities. The project represents a $100 million investment in the local construction industry and will greatly improve the fuel delivery system to the airport, enhancing its status as a top tier Pacific gateway.

Dear Editor, It’s a shame about the Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site. We have a nice website from the City of Richmond extolling the virtues of the above. “An authentic representation of a once thriving community of canneries, boat yards, residences, and stores.” It is beautiful, but the four chickens that have been kept there as a representation of that life live in a pathetically-built chicken coop that is rat infested. Not only that, this facility is located not too far from an elementary school. I walk by the chickens every day and on some days, during daylight, I have seen as many as 12 rodents at a time. Today (Oct. 5) the three hens were dead.

They were killed by a predator as they lacked decent protection. This wouldn’t have happened if they had been protected properly, living in a decently constructed environment. The rooster remains, but if the predator (it appears to have been a coyote, according to the site manager) returns with easy access, he may not be there tomorrow. We can repave our roads all of the time, but it seems that we cannot take on the cost to maintain a decent living environment for a “heritage” exhibit that really would not cost too much at all. Basically, this is animal cruelty. Fix it. Peter Wilson Richmond

Gearing up for an exciting day at the ROX

n exciting new attraction is coming soon to Richmond when the Richmond Olympic Experience ofﬁcially opens its doors. Known as the “ROX” and located at the Olympic Oval, this will be one of North America’s most interactive sports attractions. It promises to feature innovative sport simulators and many other activities to rekindle the excitement and inspiration embodied in the Olympic Games and sport. To join the fun and get a sneak preview, Richmond residents are welcome to be part of the ROX Community Days from Nov. 21 to 24. Watch for details coming soon on how you can obtain free tickets to the ROX celebration. Visitors to the ROX will be the ﬁrst to experience our state-of-the art sport simulators for bobsleigh, kayak and sit-ski. Imagine the

excitement when you thunder down the Olympic bobsleigh track from the 2010 Games, race down a Paralympic sit-ski course in the Canadian Rockies or challenge yourself to kayak in the rapids of the Chilliwack River on an international calibre course. These three simulators were developed especially for the ROX. We have worked with top athletes, such as Paralympic gold medallist Josh Dueck, to ensure a realistic experience. In the development of these simulators, we have incorporated Canadian-innovation developed by partners such as D-Box, international leaders in motion seat technology. If that’s not enough, ROX visitors will also be able to test themselves on the Olympic ski jump and Formula One race car simulators. You can also try out a number of other interactive experiences to test your sports skills — see how you measure up against the world’s best athletes. There will also be engaging displays of priceless Olympic artifacts gathered from individual

athletes and museum collections around the world. Through a wide array of touch-tables and exhibits, visitors will be encouraged to explore the history of the Olympic Games while they relive the 2010 Games, as well as Richmond’s own Olympic and sport history. You will certainly be inspired by Olympic-themed ﬁlms in the ROX’s motion seat theatre. Outside the Oval, a series of structures will recreate the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay, leading to a new commemorative cauldron on the Oval’s waterfront plaza. The Richmond Olympic Experience is destined to become a signiﬁcant tourism attraction supporting our city’s tourism and economic development goals, while adding fun to our cultural landscape for residents and visitors alike. We have also developed a comprehensive education program that will make the ROX a great resource for students and teachers. For more details about the Richmond Olympic Experience, visit therox.ca. I look forward to seeing you at the Olympic Oval this Nov. Malcolm Brodie is the mayor of Richmond.

LETTERSto the Editor

A wise, wise man was our Tom

Dear Editor, Re: “Cabinet taxing, but Siddon thrived on it,” Flashback Friday, Oct. 2. It was a great trip down memory lane for me to read your article on Richmond’s former MP of the Progressive Conservative Party, Tom Siddon. I was happy to hear about him and see him well and looking almost unchanged after all these years. Having been a member of the party myself for most of the time of his “reign,” I learned to like and respect him very much. That, however, did not stop me from becoming his adversary when he put his support behind Brian Mulroney in 1984. The party had become too progressive for me, (I am also not good at toeing the party line), so I split away and ran as an independent candidate in the 1984 election, trying to promote smaller government, smaller bureaucracy, less dependency of the people on

Election signs are ﬁne, bylaw inaction is not

government, thus less government power over our individual lives. I was trying to make people ask not for what the government can do for us, but for what it will allow us to do for ourselves. At the TV all-candidate interview when we were getting our make-up done, Tom came up to me saying, “Ursula, I envy you. Since you know you have no chance of getting elected, you can say at this interview what needs to be said. I have to say what people want to hear in order to get elected so I can effectively do something for this country.” Those were true words of wisdom. We all should heed them at this election, all elections, thus be fairer to the candidates by being more aware of what we make them promise due to our expectations. I am forever grateful to my good friend Tom Siddon. Ursula Graf Richmond

Dear Editor, Re: “New life for election signs,” Letters, Sept. 30. Signs of desperation, sign of inaction. Election time equals lawn signs around town; a fact of life. It doesn’t bother me when a person wishes to show their support to their team as long as it is reasonable and it doesn’t become a nuisance. My issue is more with the lack of enforcement from the City of Richmond regarding their own bylaw. In past elections, the city swiftly enforced their Election and Political Signs, Bylaw 8713, by removing signs that were posted contrary to Bylaw 8713, article 1.2. The city’s work crews simply removed the signs and the parties got the message that they ought to legally erect their signs or lose them. The city’s inaction has now made the political signage a nuisance. In a few words, the bylaw states that political lawn signs can be erected on a city-owned boulevard or right of way ONLY if it is immediately in front of a parcel used solely for residential

Notice

purposes WITH the consent of the property owner. Basically, in front of a residence; not in empty lots; not in front of a row of empty townhouses up for sale and certainly not in front of commercial properties. Some political parties are considerate enough to abide to the bylaw, but for some, well you can see it around town that they are desperate; the signs are in front of commercial properties or in mall parking lots. It’s not due to their lack of understanding of a simple bylaw, as this is not their ﬁrst time around the block. This is not the ﬁrst election, nor the last, but the inaction from the Richmond bylaw department for this particular election is puzzling. Complaints have fallen on deaf ears and no enforcement actions have been taken in 40 days. The bylaw department stated that the only thing they can do is to contact the parties and ask them to abide to the bylaw. So, how has it been working for you? Brian Jones Richmond

hile cash-strapped, land-based volunteer search and rescue organizations continue their bid to secure more consistent funding from the province, Richmond’s communityrun marine rescue group said their funding sources are a different kettle of fish. Aarnon Harnden, station manager with Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (RCMSAR), said the main difference is that his organization operates in areas covered by the federal government. The current lobbying effort by land-based organizations, such as North Shore Search and Rescue (under the umbrella of the B.C. Search and Rescue Association), come under provincial jurisdiction. However, Harnden said his group, which has between 30 to 40 certified marine rescue trained volunteers that, on average, respond to 60 incidents annually, will be watching the provincial involvement in funding volunteer search and rescue closely. Right now, RCMSAR’s funding comes from a mixture of sources. Of the roughly $40,000 to $50,000 that’s needed to keep operations going about a third comes from federal coffers — the Coast Guard — which pays for fuel costs mostly used during training sessions. When they are specifically tasked to play a role with the Coast Guard, Ottawa also foots the fuel bill. Provincial funding, in the form of gaming grants, amounts to about another third. And the remainder is made up by independent fund raising efforts, such as RC-

MSAR’s second annual event held Sept. 12 at Britannia Heritage Shipyard’s Seine Net Loft that brought in around $9,000, about double of last year’s total. Harnden said his group is always on the lookout for new funding opportunities and one of the plans being considered is expanding the fundraising night into two separate events. “We also look at ways of raising awareness of what we do,” he said, adding that can open up windows to private funding through donations — which can be made on their website at rcmsar10.org — as well donations from corporate groups. Harnden added volunteer lifeboat groups have been almost a way of life on the west coast for about a century. But since operating costs generally follow an upward trend, identifying new models for funding is an ongoing task.

ook out for one telling some wooden lies this year and keep your eyes peeled for a cheeky character sticking his bare backside in the air. The annual Steveston Scarecrow Crawl is slowly, but surely, starting to show its ugly, scary, funny and just plain weird face around the village as October rolls into its second week. Handmade scarecrows will stand guard outside many participating shops, restaurants and services during business hours, while others will peek out of store windows around the clock. Some of the early season highlights of the month-long crawl — organized by the Steveston Merchants Association (SMA) — include a Pinocchio made by Kelly Krull, of Splash Toy Shop, out of driftwood from Garry Point Beach. “I made him out of love so time doesn’t matter,” said Krull, when asked how long Pinocchio took to build. And don’t be embarrassed if, when passing or frequenting O’Hare’s Gastropub, you bump into Paddy McCrackin, who has a penchant for mooning his pumpkin posterior at the regulars.

Up to 70 Steveston businesses are expected to take part in this year’s crawl, started by the SMA ﬁve years ago to inject life into the village’s quieter October season. “Hopefully (it will be bigger this year), it does grow a little every year and people really put a lot of work into it and get very creative,” said Sarah Gordon, SMA marketing chair. “It astounds me every year; I can’t imagine the hours they put in. “The idea, when it was created, was for it to be low maintenance and get the whole village participating.” And it’s not just SMA members that get involved, said Gordon, adding “the businesses love it, and I think the public loves it as well. “The reason we did it is that, summer is obviously busy and September is good with people travelling without kids etc. But October is very much a grey area, and this keeps the month alive. The crawl gets people out of their houses and into the village to see something easy and fun.” This year, said Gordon, businesses were invited to get into the fairytale theme, to coincide with a heavy ﬁlming schedule in the village for the hit TV show Once Upon A Time. Near the end of the month, when there are more scarecrows out there, members of the public will be asked to vote for their “People’s Choice” on the Steveston Scarecrow Crawl Facebook page. And an artistic judging panel, including Richmond News publisher Pierre Pelletier, will also choose the best scarecrows.

The Brick enters year two of its partnership with Children’s Miracle Network® to help improve the lives of children and families across Canada and celebrates Brickley’s first birthday with a new Superhero Edition. Following the great success of its inaugural year, The Brick launches its second year as a partner of Children’s Miracle Network in Canada. In the first year of its partnership with Children’s Miracle Network, The Brick raised nearly $700,000 for children’s hospitals across Canada. “The Brick is a great Canadian retailer which has provided value to the homes of Canadians with a team of community caring staff that made the inaugural year of our partnership a great success,” said John Hartman, Chief Operating Officer, Canada, with Children’s Miracle Network. “We are thrilled to continue a partnership with The Brick that does have a real impact on the lives of children. We’re elated to have help from The Brick in raising funds for the equipment and research that help to save the lives of ill and injured children. Brickley is a good friend and role model to kids, whether they’re sick or healthy.” “The Brick is proud to be part of communities across Canada and has a strong tradition of giving to these communities. We care about our neighbours – especially the youngest generation. That’s why we’re partnering with Children’s Miracle Network,” explained Jim Caldwell, President of The Brick Group. Both The Brick and Children’s Miracle Network believe in keeping funds in the region where they are raised. All proceeds from Brickley sales will go toward the Children’s Miracle Network member hospital that serves the community in which the purchase or donation was made. “The focus of our campaign is all about ‘Helping to Improve the Lives of Children, Brick by Brick’”, noted Jim Caldwell. “The reason we chose that name for our campaign is that we believe that every little bit counts towards making a real difference to the lives of children and their families. That’s what it is all about – improving lives and making a difference in our communities.” In celebration of Brickley’s first birthday, The Brick is introducing the second edition, Superhero Brickley, to help raise funds for the organization. Brickley stuffed animals made by Gund are available in The Brick’s 220 stores nationwide and online. 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of Brickley go to Children’s Miracle Network in support of the local children’s hospital serving the community. The Brick will be matching every dollar donated through from September 1, 2015 to February 29, 2016 up to a maximum of $100,000. Limited quantities of Brickley are now available.

From Russia with strings Famous quartet to play at rare, local concert Alan Campbell Staff Reporter

acampbell@richmond-news.com

t’s not often one of the world’s leading Russian string quartets come to little old Richmond. And it’s even more rare that you’ll be sitting in such proximity to the performers that you’ll be able to hear their heart beating to the rhythm of their classical and finely tuned instruments. That, however, is exactly the opportunity presenting itself to those who appreciate the fine arts when the Rimsky-Korsakov String Quartet, from St. Petersburg, rolls into town in a few weeks for a one-night only performance at the World of Music and Arts on London Road, in Steveston. Considered to be in the top five of their ilk on the planet, the quartet has been described as a “precious heirloom of the Russian music culture” and is made up of Mikhail Bondarev and Ekaterina Belisova (both violin), Alexei Popov (viola) and Anton Andreev (cello). They will be joined on the night by acclaimed classical pianist Dr. Eugene Skovorodnikov, himself a teacher at World of Music and Arts. Skovorodnikov, originally from St. Petersburg, has known the quartet members for more than 30 years and persuaded them to perform in front of an audience of around 60 people on Oct. 23. “Being in such close proximity to such great talent, rather than in a concert hall or on television… it gives students a better chance to witness great talent up close,” said Anna Vavilova, a Richmond resident and director/founder of World of Music and Arts, a private music academy. “The room will be very cosy; they can talk to (the performers) and touch the greatness.” Richmond doesn’t have classical performers of such calibre as the Russian quartet coming to town every day, said Vavilova. “But this is truly classic and of such high quality; people are simply not expecting this to be here,” she said. “It will be such a unique experience, as the venue is only going to hold between 60 and 80 people.”

It’s not the ﬁrst time the quartet has been in the Lower Mainland, however, having been guests at Skovorodnikov’s house in White Rock, before performing at a local church last year. This time around, while again being hosted by Skovorodnikov and en route to touring the U.S.’s

West Coast — the quartet will be performing, on top of the Richmond date, a mini-series of concerts at Qualicum Beach, Maple Ridge and Denman Island. The performance in Richmond begins at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 23 at the academy at 6231 London Rd. Tickets are $30 and $25 (students and seniors).

he piercing shrill that could be heard from Errington elementary’s parking lot told the story that something was going down inside the school gym. It’s said that revenge is a dish best served cold and there was nothing sweeter than what the kids were plating up for their teachers Friday afternoon at the south Richmond school.

To the screams of the students packed into the gym, cream, chocolate sauce, marshmallows and sprinkles were “lovingly” layered onto the foil plates. In the run-up to the charity event, each class had been raising money for the Terry Fox Foundation and each time a class raised $100, the teacher was to get a pie in the face from a student. If the total raised hit the $1,500 mark, school principal Mike Murray, dressed in a bright yellow Fisherman Fred jacket, was getting three pies in the face and a bonus three pies for every $500 thereafter.

And teacher/librarian Scott Jackson, AKA Goldilocks, pledged to have his two and half years of long, blonde hair snipped off for Wigs for Kids if the money raised breached $2,000. Talk about motivation. As it happens, the teachers — many of whom got into the spirit with fancy dress, including one wearing a crash helmet and Go-Pro camera — got the pie-facing of their lives. There were soft pies, shy pies, pies with a bit of purpose and, dare I say, quite a few with multiple detentions baked into them.

The principal was in line for nine pies, but was given a reprieve for one of them, which was diverted to the face of a teacher of the audience’s choice. “We haven’t done anything like this in all my time here,” said Jackson, a few minutes before ﬁve students and his mom, Elaine, took turns at snipping off his pigtails to the soundtrack from his favourite movie, Star Wars. “Now I recognize my son,” smiled Elaine, as a lighter Jackson revealed his new look. In the end, $2,660 was raised for the cause.

ARTSin the City

Life through a tween’s eyes Thirty Days! Aris sets out to create a gripping plot laden with romance, suspense, a crushing disaster, and redemption. Mingling fiction with fact, Aris’ first order of business is to find a husband (or at least a boyfriend) for her mom Diane. Aris’ father, Joe, died tragically in a car accident in Alaska three months before Diane gave birth to Max, so Aris has taken it upon herself to co-parent Max, which is no easy task. Living in Kanuga, Georgia now, their extremely dysfunctional family barely manages to cope with daily life. Between therapy sessions, school, and trying to jumpstart her mom’s love life, Aris has her hands full. Enter Penn MacGuffin, the kind male nanny/handyman who Diane knows from Alcoholics Anonymous. He’s devoted, calm and seems to fit the husband/daddy bill, except for the pesky fact that he has no real job and lives with his mother. But he is a PMI — positive male influence — for Aris and Max, and worth his weight in gold. Aris says, “As Diane had pointed out to me, Penn had a few dings. Who doesn’t? We aren’t talking about freshly minted human beings here.” When she’s not husbandhunting or co-parenting, Aris is busy chasing Billy, her ex-boyfriend who’s moved to Boston and isn’t answering her texts. Or she’s dealing

The lead character is plucky 12 and-a-halfyear-old Aris (Aristotle) Thibodeau, a young girl who is precocious beyond her years. She is on a mission since she got her hands on the book Write a Novel in Thirty Days! Using her own family as the basis for her novel, we’re led into the erratic lives of Aris’ mom Diane, who’s an adjunct professor of English, and Max, Aris’ eight-year-old brother who likes to hit himself and throw tantrums.

SPORTSBeyond the Scores

In pursuit of the orange puck

Cosom hockey league’s roots stretch back several decades in Richmond PHILIPRAPHAEL Staﬀ Reporter

PRAPHAELRICHMONDNEWS.COM

‘L

et’s see what we’ve got in here.” Kevin Coles digs deep into a sizeable storage locker to retrieve a tall box neatly filled with team photos laminated onto sheets of cardboard. “Oh boy, look at the hair, the ’90’s hair,” says Coles with a big grin as he pulls out a sheet with a collection of young girls, many with spiky and big hairdos that look like they’ve come direct from an MTV video back in the day. Yes, Cosom hockey has been around Richmond in a league format through the ’90s and even further back. “I think it’s been going for more than 35 years,” says Coles, president of the Richmond Cosom Floor Hockey Association, which begins play this month at Burnett and Gilmore schools and runs until March, ending with a wrap up tournament for girls and boys aged five to 18. Along with the league’s vice president, Mike Wolfe, Coles was busy Monday evening sorting through bags and shelves packed with equipment for players to start the indoor offshoot of ice hockey whose origins go back to Quebec as early as the 1950s. Using a lightweight, hollow, orange plastic puck, plastic sticks, the game features fiveon-five play — plus goalies — in a non-contact environment overseen by referees that offers a fun and competitive environment, even for inexperienced players. Although, as Coles recalls, even as far back as the early 1970s Cosom hockey was part of the PE curriculum in schools. And it was promoted as an out-of-season sport for girls enrolled in softball to stay active. “I remember playing when I was at Walter Lee (elementary) back in 1974,” he says.

“And kids are still exposed to it today in school.” Some schools also have the sport as an intramural activity. But even with that widespread audience, it hasn’t directly translated into surging numbers at the league level in the past few years. Coles estimated that this season there will be around 340 players scattered across the age groups. And they come from just about every corner of the city. “There are good chunks that are from the north-west and south-east parts of Richmond. But then we have some kids coming from Hamilton, and even some from as far away as Ladner,” Coles says. To try and drum up more interest in the league, the association staged an open house two weekends ago and drew roughly 40 people who were curious about the sport. The sales pitch? Coles says the sport is easy to pick up, has plenty of action and is easy on the pocketbook as well as the timetable of busy families who may have children signed up in multiple sports. “We’ve worked hard on our scheduling to make sure we have as few conﬂicts as possible with other sports,” Coles says. “We know young families are really busy, so we have one practice and one game a week for a combined total commitment of two hours. Plus, all the games are played locally so there’s little travel. And it’s all indoors, which at this time of year is big.” In seasons past, the league has promoted itself with a photo of a soccer parent standing on the sidelines, huddled under an umbrella while the rain comes down in buckets around them. And Cosom hockey is affordable — the season costs just $100 per player and includes use of the required equipment for the season and a team shirt they can keep. Aside from that, for Lanie Man, the league’s

! Kevin Coles (right) and Mike Wolfe were busy this week getting teams equipped for the Richmond Cosom Floor Hockey Association’s new season. Photo by Philip Raphael/Richmond News

promotions coordinator, the league is one of inclusion. Man’s eight-year-old son has ADHD and Cosom hockey was his ﬁrst opportunity to take part in team sports. “At the end of the season, my son may have been the worst player on his team, but he had good fun and actually developed some skills and felt more self-conﬁdence,” Man says. “The kids and the coaches on our team were very supportive, regardless of the physical abilities of some players. And my son even scored one goal in the entire season. To him that was an accomplishment. And he treasures his participation medal and keeps it in a safe box.” While the sport was at one time targeted at

young girls, Coles says the numbers in that particular category have slumped over the years. He feels that is a result of Richmond’s shift in demographics over the years, plus the rise in popularity of ball and roller hockey. But with some more marketing efforts and regular appearances at community events, such as the Steveston Salmon Festival parade, hopes are to keep the sport in mind for families looking for a team-focused experience for their children. And even with the cut off date to sign up for this year already lapsed, Coles says there are still chances to join a wait list that may open up roster spots.

skilled help

We are broken hearted by Earl’s passing in hospice on Friday after a determined 4-year battle with lymphoma. At the end, he went quickly and painlessly. Earl is survived by his wife Carol, daughter Michelle Bakken (Trevor), grandchildren Taylor, Bowen and Colton and daughter Stephanie. Earl’s life revolved around music. He was a talented, much-loved musician and music educator. In his roles as teacher, conductor and concert band member, he touched the lives of many, many people. He conducted the Richmond Singers, the Royal City Alumni Band, the Kitsilano Boy’s Band and approximately 50 musical theater productions for numerous companies including Theater Under the Stars and The Greater Vancouver Operatic Society. He was very proud of being able to play and travel with the Kitsilano Boy’s Band to England in 1955, a trip that ignited a life-long love of travel. Earl also loved the outdoors: hiking, camping, canoeing and spending time in the family cabin at Bridge Lake, B.C. Earl is recipient of numerous awards including R.S.M.T.A Lifetime Achievement (1996) and Professional Music Educator Award (1992). The world is emptier without Earl in it. May he now become the music itself. A memorial service will be announced at a later date.
