‘You can’t forget your first love’ Private Bowcock’s long, lost fiancée, 90, calls The News after reading his story GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter

GWOODRICHMONDNEWS.COM

A

t the train station, the teenagers kissed and held one another. She told him she loved him. He told her he loved her. Their hands parted and he stepped on the train.

She would watch it depart into the distance and find her way back home to Richmond on the interurban tram. It was the last time they saw each other.

Weeks earlier, in the spring of 1943, Pte. Bob Bowcock had put a ring with the “littlest, most beautiful diamond” on the finger of his first love, Irene Wagner.

“He had said, ‘When I go, you go out with other guys.’ I said ‘What guys?’” recalled Irene Wagner Stiles, with a wry smile.

“You know, there was nobody around during the (Second World War). Anyhow there wasn’t any way I was going to do that anyway,” said Stiles, from her home in Richmond, where she’s lived most of her life.

Stiles read the story of her first love in the Richmond News on Friday and contacted the newsroom to talk about her “great guy.”

For Stiles, at age 90, Bowcock is a love lost, but not forgotten.

Stiles married after the Second World War, to another man who would become her greatest love — Sonny Stiles, another soldier whom she would spend 55 years with and raise five children.

But the loss of Bowcock is a moment that Stiles will never forget. The love they had for one another is eternally lost in a parallel life that she would never know.

“You can’t forget your first love,” she said.

Bowcock and Stiles grew up together in the north Richmond neighbourhood of Eburne. His mom operated a grocery store, her parents owned a 10-acre farm.

“We were a community unto our own, there was no transportation except for the tram, two or three miles away, so we did everything on bikes. We’d go to the river for picnics, that sort of thing,” said Stiles.

And so, as teenagers, they and others hung out with one another. Stiles recalled falling in love with Bowcock at age 13, but “he never noticed me until I was 17. Until then, we were just a big group of friends.”

The two became boyfriend and girlfriend for a short period before Bowcock left to

join the Canadian Scottish Regiment in France, where he would die on July 8, 1944, during the invasion of Normandy.

“He was very patriotic. He thought it was his job to go over. The boys didn’t do it for any other reason other than patriotism. No other reason. He was a good guy. He had high morals, worried about other people.

He was a really good person. I just can’t say enough about him at this time. He was mature beyond his years and very smart, very clever,” said Stiles.

Bowcock initially insisted the two were too young to get hitched. Stiles was “heartbroken,” as she would later describe that moment in her journal.

“But as time got short, his thinking changed, and I’ll never forget the trip into town on the interurban to a movie when he put a ring with the littlest, most beautiful diamond on my finger. I was on Cloud Nine,” wrote Stiles of their last date together in the spring of 1943.

She said her parents questioned the two and the engagement caused “a big kerfuffle” at school.

But the heart wants what the heart wants.

And so, they spent the last remaining days together, before Bowcock left school early to attend training in the Interior.

Stiles became an impassioned letter writer and Bowcock wrote back. Such was the reality of the day.

“There were no boys, we didn’t date.

We wrote letters. It was just the way things were. Everyone was in the same situation; the boys were gone, and the girls were left,” said Stiles.

Her parents were immigrants from Germany with farming experience. In 1933, the Wagners moved from Saskatchewan to Richmond, which offered more prosperous farming opportunities.

She helped on the farm, as most women did, but also used her writing skills to land a job — paying $100 per month — with the income tax office in south Vancouver.

“When I was working, every day I bought a newspaper to see the column of people who were killed in the war the day before.

There was, quite often, someone I knew,” she said.

Stiles said she put a map of Europe on her wall and placed pins to denote where Canadian soldiers were fighting.

By Christmas time in 1943, she knew

! Irene Wagner Stiles got a pleasant surprise when she picked up the Richmond News last week, where she appeared pictured with her then fiancé Robert Bowcock, who left Richmond in 1943 to fight in the Seocnd World War and never returned. Photo by Graeme Wood/Richmond News.

Bowcock was on his way to Europe. She said he had become a lance corporal, meaning he was a higher-ranked private.

The moniker was lost after the war so records don’t show how Bowcock was a young leader amongst his battalion.

As the conversation progressed toward D-Day, Stiles held back tears.

“I know he was deployed at Christmas because I had knit him a sweater. Later See Stiles page 4 ! Irene Wagner Stiles with

her then fiancé Robert Bowcock. The pair is pictured in front of an automobile, which would have been a luxury at that time; as teenagers the two tended to use bikes or the interurban tram to get around town and go on dates.

A soldier’s tale from occupied Europe Richmond News reader Veda Howell shares an un-edited letter, written by her father in November 1944, while he was serving with the Princess Pats Canadian Light Infantry during the Second World War. Somewhere deep inside Germanoccupied Holland or Belgium, he penned a note to his mother. He was 25-years-old at the time.

Dear Mother: Yesterday I received your very very nice letter mentioning my name being in the casualty list. I must say you did the right thing in not giving them my photo.

How foolish I would have felt if I had my picture in the paper for such a minor thing when so many many lads are doing so much more and suffering so much more and yet no one ever hears a word about them.

I would have certainly been the laughing stock of the army if my picture had appeared. I was wondering how they managed to get all the dope on Ev and the rest of it. It would probably have been given out by the army. Newspaper stuff seems to me to be so terribly stupid, everything exaggerated or misconstrued, nowhere near the real truth.

Last night Scottie and I had a bit of a thriller. About 8:00 o’clock at night I was called on by the Intelligence Officer to go and search a house in our locality.

There had been a few Jerries found in the neighbouring ones and it was thought this particular house warranted an examination. It was locked up tight with shutters drawn and that meant kicking down the door.

I must say it’s an eerie business going through a house at night looking for Jerries — every door you push open you expect a burst of machine gun fire to come crashing out.

Scottie came with me to give me a hand and on finding the house entirely empty and still in excellent condition we decided we’d move in and sleep there. We rigged up a light from my armoured wagon, lit a fire and proceeded to make ourselves right at home.

The place was very well furnished even to a nice big bed and mattress. We were all set to go to bed when Scottie spied two big shiny German 20mm shells under the cowling on top of the stove. He turned about 10 shades paler and stepped back.

I followed suit when after a couple of minutes he told me what he had spotted. Naturally what raced thru our minds was “Will they go up right away? Will they be a detonator for a big charge? So on and so on.” I bucked up courage to go and close the damper on the stove and then we both cleared out of the house.

After about 20 minutes we decided the fire would have died down sufficiently so we went back in and very carefully set to work to examine for booby traps, etc.

After a while we removed the hot shells to find they were empties with the powder

taken out. They had been mantelpiece ornaments. The joke was on us. Scottie is keeping the shells for souvenirs. All in all it was quite a thrill and we felt uneasy for the remainder of the evening.

Eventually we went to bed fairly well satisfied there wasn’t any other monkey business around the house. This morning we made a thorough search of the place and it revealed beautiful sets of china, linens, glassware, silver, etc. and furthermore considerable German literature.

The owner of the house came around this morning and I took him to our Dutch interpreter for interrogation. The interpreter was away so I told the man to come back at noon. He must have been pretty worried because he went away and hasn’t shown up since.

In the meantime we are living in his nice little home, making use of all the conveniences, stove, coal, lamps, tables, chairs, beds, mattresses, etc.

This afternoon we had tea in the very nice china cups. It seems a shame to

carry on as we do, occupying this type of home while the owners are hiding out in some cave in the hills or some big basement or tunnel, but we are callous brutes and it has little effect on us.

Mother, I’ve seen so much of it all now it doesn’t seem to matter what I see or what I know is happening in regards the terrible hardships that the poor civilians are subjected to. Whole towns and cities are one mass of death and destruction.

Thousands of homeless women and children with nothing more than what they can carry on their backs. For young men and women it is not too bad but for the aged and the babies it’s pretty hard to take.

Yesterday I was going along a street of a town which had been subjected to a terrific artillery and airforce barrage. The houses were not houses, they were irregular piles of rubble and dust with evidence of cherished ornaments, paintings, furniture, clothing, etc.

As I went along I kept looking in through the openings that had been

windows.

At one place I spotted an old man sitting in the shelter of a heavy fireplace.

He had a tattered blanket wrapped around his shoulders and around a wee boy whom I would say was about 2 years old.

It was a terribly pathetic sight. I couldn’t begin to explain the expression on both their faces, but almost as soon as the old man saw me, he asked in Dutch if he should go away, out of the town.

I simply said “No, you may stay here” (in my jumbled German), and went on down the street looking into more rubble piles.

I have no idea what the man and boy thought outside of the fact that they were very nearly panic stricken and expected no kindness from anyone.

I suppose he would think I would brutally order him to evacuate the town, but instead I brutally left them there and carried on.

What’s to happen to that man and boy. There is no Red Cross for several weeks after we have passed thru.

There is no place in the vicinity where those two and hundreds of others can get food and warmth.

There is nothing but cold, wind and rain for them.

Mother, even us that soldier to fight and risk our lives along with the hardships are very very well off. We should be shot if we are caught grumbling about any of our “awful” hardships.

I “blow my cork” every so often now if I hear anyone moaning too much, and I feel like raving when I read of some of the “hardships” the people of Canada and U.S.A. are having.

Maybe this will give you an idea of why I don’t like the newspapers for all their trash.

Maybe I’m all haywire, I don’t know, but I hope we won’t be bothered by nightmares in the years to come, anyway.

The weather is getting very chilly here now and I relish the fact that I have so much nice warm clothing.

I had thought for a while we would see this Xmas in Canada but it looks rather hopeless now. I guess it’ll be Xmas ’45 now for the first Xmas at home, but at least we should have next spring and summer at home.

Ev and the children are fine. I am very fine and I hope you and Louise are fine too.

Lots of love, Tom

here’s a little less than 45 hours before the bugle poignantly sounds The Last Post at the cenotaph outside Richmond City Hall and baker Gerald Stenson is busy preparing the feast.

With 500 lemon and mincemeat tarts and 300 Remembrance Day-themed pieces of shortbread to bake, Stenson has his work, quite literally, cut out; juggling paying his respects by donating his goods to the post-ceremony reception with preparing to move his business across the road.

Having helped out with the event for a

couple of years, Stenson—who owns Diplomat Bakery in Steveston—was debating how he could manage to contribute at the same time as moving his store.

When he heard from reception organizer Judith Hutson that one of the other bakeries had pulled out, however, Stenson had no hesitation to continue his philanthropy.

“I’ve been doing it for two years; ever since Judith came into the bakery and asked if I could help. I said I’d be happy to,” Stenson told the News on Monday.

“This year is difficult, as we are in the process of moving. But when I heard one of the other bakers pulled out, I couldn’t

“We can’t let people forget what’s been done for us; people have given their lives.”

The Diplomat Bakery and Stenson is just one of dozens of people, not least Hutson, who make possible the reception inside city hall after the respects have been paid by hundreds of people at the cenotaph outside.

As well as Diplomat, Steveston Bakery chips in with a similar haul of freshlybaked items, the Richmond Youth Honour Choir—in its second year of being involved with around 40 students—provides the entertainment, while the Friends of the Richmond Archives spend hours and hours putting the wartime displays together.

And then there are the 15 or so volunteers that hand out the reception invitat tions and order of service to the crowd a then help serve the refreshments and indoors afterwards.

“Every year it gets easier and easier; e especially now that the City of Richmond is on side with the event,” said Hutson, now in her fifth year of helping put on the reception in the city hall galleria, where between 1,200 and 1,500 people turned o in 2014. out “Lots of people don’t understand what g goes on in the background, but I can tell y you, it takes many, many hands to pull t this off.

“And the bakeries, well, they are amazing, as they are only small businesses a they’re willing to give their time and and f fabulous product.

“It’s grown every year in popularity from t first year, when we just had Tim Horthe t tons on board and no one thought it was a g good idea.”

One of the families that help out with the v volunteering is the Huttons, mom Jillian, s son, Phillip, 17, and daughter Emily, 14.

“I was in the military and both my g grandfathers were in the British Army,” s said Hutton, who served as a finance clerk in the Canadian Army. “So it means a lot t me. This is our third year of helping as to a family and we love it, we love being able t contribute.” to Hutson said she starts organizing each year’s event about two months in advance, but says it’s really a “matter of getting out and confirming with the bakeries and everyone else if they’re helping out.”

“I do spend lots of personal time on the event, but it’s nothing compared to the likes of the bakeries.

“I’m more than happy to donate my time; Remembrance Day means a lot to me.”

It’s that time of year again...

I remember Private Bowcock Dear Editor, Re: “Searching for Private Bowcock,” News, Nov. 6.

In the spring of 1941, Bob Bowcock was elected as the president of the student body of the then only high school in Richmond.

I remember Bob when he came to Richmond; we were friends and worked on many school projects.

When in the spring of 1941, we both agreed to make an active school election, a colossus, for the office of the head of the Richmond Student Body.

Semi-Annual Battery Sale November 16–27

We both entered our names in the race, (we were the only ones), and he won.

In mid-spring of the following year, which was our eleventh grade, Bob turned up to school one day in uniform, only to say good-bye.

In remembering Bob, he did not make such decisions easily; it was at this time that the lowlands and France fell.

At times like this, I think how different Richmond and things would have been if we had worked together all this time.

I really appreciated reading Graeme Wood’s two-page spread in last week’s issue of the Richmond News.

It is inspiring to learn of such hands-on, high-quality, education in action.

These young Canadians are tomorrow’s citizens and leaders. Rich experiences like these well-equip them for their role.

Thank you to the teachers and parents involved in the project, and thank you, Graeme, for spreading this news!

Grateful for soldiers I never knew Dear Editor, As the month of November came around people have started wearing poppies to show their respect for the men and woman who gave their lives to defend Canada during and after World War I.

We might not be here today if it weren’t for those soldiers. That’s why we need to remind ourselves of how hard they fought to achieve peace and freedom.

Even though I’m only 14, and I don’t fully understand

Rain, not fines, washed away firework trouble Dear Editor, Re: “Halloween no horror for firefighters,” News, Nov. 4.

Let’s be honest (and grateful), the reason Halloween didn’t result in many calls for the fire department is because our mini-monsoon chased the troublemakers indoors.

I certainly enjoyed being able to fall asleep before 2 a.m. without being rudely awoken.

Everybody agrees that firecrackers (e.g. cherry bombs) are bad, so why not get serious — $25,000 fine for anyone selling them, in ANY quantity; mandatory 100 hours community service (e.g. cleaning the ditches); drastic penalty increases if anyone, and/or any animal, is harmed by them.

Sometimes only the stick works as a deterent.

Please leave Garry Point Think big, City of Richmond alone, Mr. McNulty Dear Editor, Re: “What’s the point of a pier at Garry?” Letters, Nov. 4.

I wish to express complete agreement with Mr. Assaly regarding the unnecessary pier at Garry Point.

Yes, it is asinine and as much a complete waste as the original ships were a few years ago.

Those pilings are a constant reminder of all the money wasted on the original idea of ships sailing in.

No, Mr. McNulty, your idea stinks and you

Secondly, new museum could also be beneficial for children as well as tourists to expand their knowledge about Richmond and our history.

They should also build more left turn lights. For example, the left turn from Granville Avenue. to Minoru Gate could absolutely use a light for people who enjoy using Minoru’s facilities frequently.

After all, it is the city’s choice of what they are going to work on; but is this a way for them to avoid all the bigger projects we need, meanwhile fixing every little flaw before moving on?

Dear Editor, As I take the Railway Greenway every day to school, I have noticed that they have been building a new curb.

This has caused citizens such as myself to have to walk on the sidewalk.

I don’t understand why the City of Richmond is using hard-earned taxpayers’ money on such little things when there are many more important things that our city could use.

First, the city needs to build higher dykes as a result of the progressively higher tides.

This will protect our city from flooding and allow us all to be safe, rather than sorry.

T

his week is Veterans Week all across Canada, where our nation pauses to reflect on the sacrifices made by Canadians at the request of their country, and to remember the over 117,000 who lost their lives in the service of our great nation.

We have just experienced a hotly contested federal election, where ordinary citizens chose to remove one government and install a new one.

An exercise in democracy that was completed without a hint of bloodshed, intimidation, forced voting, or for that matter, anything other than a peaceful nation demonstrating the unbelievable power of democracy, and its essential partner, freedom.

Freedom. Easy to accept when you have it in abundance, but around the world there are so many that have nothing of what we take for granted in Canada.

The right to lead a peaceful life, free

of tyranny, and the ability to remove and replace a government at will.

Freedom is not free, of course, and it’s not a quaint notion. It has been acquired through struggle and sacrifice, and commitment to the ideals of freedom, liberty, free speech, assembly and association, even to those with whom we disagree.

Freedom in its ultimate form was paid for with the blood of Canadians, and is symbolized by the bright red poppy you will see everywhere at this time of year.

The poem In Flanders Fields by Canadian soldier John McCrae (1915) begs us to remember those who lost their lives in the service of our country, a country that vigorously defends freedom, both in the past and even to this day, when more than 700 Canadians are currently deployed around the world at Canada’s request.

Around our community this week you will see your neighbours distributing poppies, and asking for a donation to veterans support initiatives via the Richmond Poppy Fund, with support from the army, navy, and airforce veterans in Canada, and the Royal Canadian Legion.

The poppy you will receive has already been paid for in the form of sacrifice of Canadian lives.

Your donation is a greatly appreciated acknowledgment of that sacrifice. Wear your poppy with pride and gratitude.

On Nov. 11, the army, navy and airforce veterans in Canada Unit 284 (Steveston) and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #291 (Richmond), and unaffiliated veterans, will muster at the Richmond Cenotaph outside Richmond City Hall.

And, along with political representatives and members of the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, Richmond Fire Rescue, members of Richmond’s Army, Navy and Air Cadet Corps, Canadian Border Services Agency, St. John’s Ambulance, and the Royal Canadian Marine Search And Rescue, we will remember Canada’s war dead in a Remembrance Day service culminating in a two-minute period of silence at 11 a.m.

See you there. Wear your poppy.

LETTERSto the Editor

Citizen shares jet fuel doubts Dear Editor, Regarding the recent environmental concerns on upgrading the habitat area and constructing a jet fuel tank facility on the south arm of the Fraser River, I have certain questions and doubts at the root of the issues.

First, regardless of how the problems are generated, eventually it brings out the questions of the vague regulations for the co-operation between the regional government and the authority of Port Metro Vancouver.

As Lesley Douglas, Richmond’s manager of sustainability, told city council, “it remains unclear how the city is to be notified on small or medium-sized projects proposed by the port that impact city and provincially-owned land.”

Is it time that the federal government set a clear path to solve these problems?

Also, considering the jet fuel tanker issue, the quasi-federal port is based on the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act in 2012, which has bestowed the authority to build the projects.

How come in the past few years, the City of Richmond has never confronted the port’s authority?

Why does our mayor now need to talk

with the new liberal member of parliament about the fuel tanker facility?

Furthermore, how come there is no voice from the general public about the decision of both plans in this democratic country?

If the provincial government has more rights over the civic government, will it take the responsibility for any possible leak of the pipeline?

Lastly, according to new MP Joe Peschisolido, VAFFC failed to legitimately assess 13 other fuel delivery methods other than realigning the pipeline through Highway 99.

Under what circumstances can the VAFFC provide so many options, yet fail to meet the laws? Then how can we trust the only proposal that it intends to commence in December?

This is a single voice from a young Richmond resident; this voice, however, may be thousands of voices from Richmond citizens. I hope to receive these answers back and I think the Richmond government should have had a clearer agreement with the port on the proposals.

Harsher fines for distracted drivers Dear Editor, I believe the government needs to better enforce the current laws of driving while using a mobile phone. Every year more than 1.3 million crashes in North America are caused by cell phone distraction. Drivers talking or texting on their cellphones are about six times more likely to cause an accident than driving intoxicated.

If the police started pulling more people over, there would be fewer accidents. Perhaps the police could use technology to track if the phone is in use.

Many people in British Columbia are not aware that it is illegal to use your mobile de-

vice while driving and if it was more enforced then more people would be exposed and actually know that it is the law and that it is very dangerous.

The fine in B.C is only $167 and three demerits, which is one of the lowest in Canada.

If B.C. increased fines like Prince Edward Island did this summer (their fine is now $500-$1,200 with five demerits) perhaps it would deter more people.

I believe this is an issue that needs more attention so that we can reduce the number of accidents caused by distracted drivers.

ichmond city council has dipped into its $3 million “community initiatives fund” to the tune of close to $900,000 for the Canada 150 Ships to Shore event in 2017.

The special maritime celebration is to coincide with cross-country celebrations of Canada’s 150th anniversary.

The event, according to a parks department report, is said to be an opportunity to promote arts, culture, and heritage.

It’s anticipated that the money will cover the general costs of the Ships to Shore event ($320,000) on Canada Day, plus the cost of mooring the Japanese tall ship, Kaiwo Maru ($575,000) in May 2017.

The city’s financial planners created the fund from discretionary, unspent casino revenue to give council leeway in funding particular events or projects.

Each year two per cent of casino revenues (about $400,000 at the current pace of roughly $20 million) will go to the account and council agreed, as a policy, not to spend more than half the fund each year.

On Monday council created a Canada 150 celebration steering committee consisting of councillors Harold Steves, Linda McPhail, and Bill McNulty.

! Trades get easy path to licences

Richmond city council tentatively approved a new bylaw that will make it easier for construction and trades companies to conduct business throughout Metro Vancouver.

The Inter-Municipal Business Licence bylaw, to be implemented at the end of the year, will mean companies that move from one municipality to another to perform work (such as home renovations) will no longer need to apply for multiple business licences. Instead, a company will only have to apply to the municipality in which it is located.

Similar bylaws will be applied in Vancouver, Surrey, Delta, Burnaby, and New Westminster. Other jurisdictions may apply to join the new program. The bylaw must be finalized following a round of public input.

Richmond city council is calling on the federal government to implement a tax incentive for food producers, suppliers, and retailers who donate unsold, edible food.

The incentive stems from waste reduction initiatives of the National Zero Waste Council.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie is the chair of the NZWC and said reducing food waste is something all cities and communities should be doing.

According to NZWC, the equivalent of roughly 300 million meals of edible food is tossed in landfills annually in Canada (not including food waste at home, which accounts for the vast majority of food waste).

The United Nations estimates about 40 per cent of all food produced globally is never eaten.

A key obstacle to reducing food waste is that it often costs less for food-selling businesses to toss food in the garbage as opposed to donating it.

With a tax incentive, the food industry could reduce operating costs by 15-20 per cent, noted NZWC.

! Lots of pooches in the city

The City of Richmond has reached a historic high for dog licences after animal control and bylaw officers increased canvassing of popular dog walking areas in the summer.

As of September 2015 there were 7,024 pooches licensed by the city, with that number expected to grow marginally by year’s end.

According to the bylaws department report there have been 87 “dog noise” investigations and 76 “animal control” investigations in 2015, to September. The latter investigations are on pace for a four year high.

The report stated there were 69 tickets issued in the month of September for “various violations” but there is no reported annual data for tickets.

On Monday Richmond city council finalized the approval of permanent fencing and seating at four pilot off-leash dog areas.

McCallum, Garden City and South Arm parks will now see permanent off-leash fixtures while the off-leash area on Elmbridge Way will be reviewed annually as it’s a potential development site.

Fire-rescue responds to incident involving Molotov cocktails R

ichmond Fire-Rescue responded to what it’s calling a “serious” incident on Kilgour Place in September.

According to a monthly fire department report issued Tuesday to Richmond city council’s safety committee, firefighters responded to a report of a smell of gas in the air at the French school.

Upon arrival, the crew found remnants of two bottles that were set up like Molotov cocktails, including one bottle with an attached wick coming out of its neck.

There was no fire at the time, but there was evidence of soot and a scorch pattern on the ground nearby.

Fire investigators and the RCMP are now conducting an investigation.

According to RCMP data, arson is down 13 per cent this year over last, with 45 reported incidents to September 2015.

! Property crime down

Property crime is down two per cent three quarters of the way into 2015, compared to 2014, a year which marked at least a five-year high for residential break-ins, according to police data that is sent to Richmond city council’s safety committee.

This year, residential break-ins are down 14 per cent and business break-ins are down 10 per cent over last year, as of the end of September.

General theft reports are up 17 per cent while fraud incidents have spiked 27 per cent, over the same periods.

Meanwhile, drug offences are also up 14 per cent, with 532 reported incidents.

VOICES on Books

Nesting urge has a crafty side SHELLEYCIVKIN

Book Club

A

s the chilly, dark days of fall encompass me, my need to nest increases exponentially.

Huddled in my blanket and ensconced in my easy chair at home, all I want to do is eat, sleep and read. And craft – when I get the energy.

This is the time of year when homemade greeting cards, small gifts, and artsy experiments pull me in.

Being a hard-core tchotchke (knickknack) collector, I have a plethora of items to decorate and repurpose. Take for example, old vases, of which I have dozens in all shapes and sizes.

Sometimes, I want to perk them up and transform them into practical pieces of art.

So I tried using washi, a versatile Japanese-style low-tack masking tape that can be easily added to, and removed from, any material. Produced in a variety of widths and decorative pat-

terns washi can easily turn a simple picture frame or mirror into a dramatic accent piece.

In Fun With Washi by Jessica Okui, readers are introduced to washi projects as varied as faux headboards, bookshelf trim, decorative curtains, cell phone covers, and even nail art!

Including a section on materials and techniques, this little gem of a book will turn your DIY projects into fun and funky art.

Then there’s DIY Chalkboard Crafts by Lizette Schapekahm, which gives step-by-step instructions for how to create more than 50 chalkboard paint projects.

With tips, techniques, and lists of tools, even beginner crafters can turn an ordinary object into a practical work of art.

Brush-on and spray-paint chalkboard paint can be used on almost any surface, so the possibilities are only

limited by your imagination.

This is truly a way to take ordinary objects to a whole new level.

A few of my favourite projects in this book include putting chalkboard paint on the inside of a lunch box, then writing sweet (or intimate) messages there.

Personalized coasters are also a cool idea. A menu board for organized parents lets your family know what’s coming up next. Wooden cake toppers with individualized messages can really elevate a birthday cake.

And clipboards transformed into To Do lists are a great idea, too.

Really, the sky’s the limit with chalkboard paint, so go nuts!

The library has loads of crafting books for those who just want to hunker down and make stuff. So check them out!

Violence in Punjab casts shadow over Diwali celebrations GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter

GWOODRICHMONDNEWS.COM

I

t’s known as the Festival of Lights, but this year has marked a darker Diwali than most due to violence in the Indian state of Punjab.

Chain Bath, president of the India Cultural

Centre of Canada on No. 5 Road, said his group would not be setting off the usual Diwali fireworks after unknown perpetrators desecrated a Sikh holy book in Punjab, last month. As such, celebrations have been toned down, according to Bath.

However, at the Richmond Cultural Centre on Sunday, the City of Richmond helped sponsor its third annual community Diwali event, co-hosted by resident Suresh Kurl.

“I started this to welcome the entire community,” said Kurl, who invited people of all faiths, as well as atheists and non-practicing believers of a god, to mark the day together.

Kurl said during Diwali — a five-day celebration marked by the year’s darkest new moon night — Hindus often worship Ganesha, the god of wisdom, as well as Lakshmi,

the goddess of wealth.

Diwali is said to celebrate triumph of good over evil and is marked by gatherings with dancing and songs. Sikhs have similar celebrations, as well, to coincide with Diwali.

Kurl invited Seaquam secondary student Devika Vishwanath, of Delta, to perform a ceremonial dance for the 50 or so people in attendance at the centre. Honoured guest MP Joe Peschisolido lit a traditional candle to represent Christians. Five other people, representing different faiths, also lit candles.

Another big part of Diwali is the sharing of sweet treats. At Himalaya Restaurant on No. 5 Road, manager Sarb Pabla estimates he’s sold hundreds of thousands of sweets this week — at least 30 times more than a typical week at the buffet-style restaurant. ! Sarb Pabla,

No sibling rivalry for sister act ALANCAMPBELL Staff Reporter

ACAMPBELLRICHMONDNEWS.COM

I

t’s good to have some competition in the family, right?

It certainly seems to be the case when it comes to the acting Laverock sisters, Mamie and Laiken, who are taking turns at hogging the limelight on and off the screen.

Last year, elder sibling Mamie, 11, grabbed all the attention when she was nominated for, and subsequently won, a Joey Award for her recurring role in When Calls the Heart, which features on the Hallmark channel in the U.S. and CBC in Canada.

This time around, however, it’s 10-yearold Laiken’s turn to shine with two Joey nominations for starring in a nationwide Home Depot commercial and a role in an episode of The Flash, much of which is shot in the Lower Mainland.

It all leads to the awards gala this Saturday, Nov. 14 at the Pacific Gateway Hotel in Richmond, where more than 150 young performers from across Canada will converge for the “baby Oscars” to celebrate youth achievements in screen and on stage.

“Laiken has been trying equally as hard as Mamie over the years, but Mamie just got the breaks at the right times,” said Nicole Rockmann, mom of the sisters, who both attend Anderson elementary.

“But this has been (Laiken’s) year and it’s all the more pleasing as the competition

(to get in The Flash) is intense; she’s up against people with massive resumes.”

Despite only being on the planet for 10 years, Rockmann said it’s been a long road for her youngest daughter, who had a speaking part in the 2013 blockbuster Godzilla, which was filmed in the Lower Mainland, including Steveston.

“She had a part in Godzilla but the entire scene was cut,” said her mom.

“It was a speaking part; she was stuck in a car. But it didn’t make the final edit.

“Thankfully, we found out just before the movie was released, otherwise she could have been going there believing she was in it. She was six, turning seven at the time.

She cried.

“She was in Nanaimo for the filming and was treated like a princess. She had her own hotel room and it was an amazing experience.”

But, as the saying goes, good things tend to come to those who wait, or at least persevere. “(The sisters) appeared together in The Hollow Ones and Laiken had the bigger part in that, so Mamie is getting used to it now I guess,” added Rockmann.

“Laiken has the same teacher as her sister last year and there’s a newspaper cutting of her sister on the wall in the class.

She’s hoping to get one of her own up there soon.

“But I feel for both of them, like most parents do, and it’s all part of the business, the ebbs and the flows. And to be honest, Mamie has been amazing and has been very supportive of her sister.”

Gas fireplaces can W hen dealing with a drafty house and unwanted cold drafts, a lot of the focus is often on leaky windows and doors.

But there’s a massive culprit that often gets overlooked, and when properly addressed, can transform a house into a warm, comfy and relaxing home.

Craig McClean, from The Fireplace Warehouse in Richmond, said wood-burning Ureplaces are a direct link

between a house’s interior and the outside, and even with the Tue damper closed, can permit cold, damp air into a home and together with convection currents, make a home feel drafty and uncomfortable.

Aside from being inefUcient and creating air quality problems, these Ureplaces are ripe for a type of renovation that promises to pay for itself in lower annual electricity and heating bills.

stop cold drafts efUcient to replace a woodburning version — or an older and less-efUcient B-vent gas model that’s just 25 per cent efUcient — can make a huge difference to interior air quality and make the most-used rooms in a house much more comfortably warm.

Inserting a three-inch vent up the existing Uve-inch vent allows for both the intake and exhaust functions of the gas Ureplace. And that means when the gas Ureplace is off, cold air no longer easily seeps into a home.

A typical home installation is in the $3,000 range, and that’s proven to be very popular among homeowners seeking to reduce their heating bills and make their homes more energyefUcient and enjoyable to use.

ne of Richmond’s annual delights, and a sure sign of the holiday season returns to Lansdowne Centre Nov. 21.

That’s when veteran children’s entertainer Charlotte Diamond presents her Holiday Delight Family Concert.

The music kicks off at 1 p.m. in the mall’s Kiosk Court where Diamond, along with son Matt, will celebrate her three decades of entertaining youngsters and their families.

The event also marks the arrival of Santa at the mall for the holidays.

It was 1985 when Diamond debuted her Juno Awardwinning album 10 Carrot Diamond.

At the Lansdowne performance she will play a whole list of favourites including Four Hugs a Day, Each of Us Is a Flower, The Hug Bug, I am a Pizza (Je suis une pizza).

And she will also play songs from her recently released, 14th recording Diamonds by the Sea that she co-produced with Matt.

The CD introduces 19 new songs, such as, Ottie the Ot-

ter, I Have Shoes and I Can Walk, Put the Beat in Your Feet, and The Moose on the Loose, all of which will be premiered at the concert.

Diamond has also been busy with the recent release of her first, children’s board book, Slippery Fish in Hawai’i based on her well-loved song, Octopus (Slippery Fish).

She will be available to autograph her book and CDs — which are available in Steveston Village at Splash Toys and Beatmerchant Record — following the Lansdowne Centre concert.

SPORTS Beyond the Scores

Trojans look to thrive as a playoff underdog Mark BOOTH

Sports Editor

MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A famous Mark Twain quote best sums up the 2015 version of the Hugh Boyd Trojans.

“It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of fight in the dog.”

Boyd looked to be in tough for their regular season finale last Friday against the Langley Saints.

A small roster to begin with was limited even further with key starters Robbie Conroy and Ryan Jensen unavailable. That left just 16 seniors and three junior call-ups to take on a Langley team that was 6-1 overall and looking to complete an unbeaten run in league play Yet, there were the Trojans locked in a scoreless deadlock until the visitors finally broke through with a pair of fourth quarter majors to win 14-0.

“We played our hearts out and the guys knew it,” said head coach Bill Haddow. “They were actually excited after the game and there was a super cool vibe in the locker room. They knew they had left everything on the field for our last ‘Friday Night Lights’ home game of the season.

“We actually had a Grade 10 starting offensive guard playing as an inside receiver and our Grade 10 quarterback as a wideout. I looked out to the field and had my doubts we would even be able to compete. We couldn’t be more proud of them.”

The loss leaves the Trojans with a 2-2 record and as a three seed heading into this week’s provincial AA playoffs. They are matched up against the Carson Graham Eagles — 3-1 finishers in the Western AA Conference. The game

will take place Friday on the North Shore.

Boyd is healthy as they ever will be. The decision to rest Conroy last week was a wise one as he will be close to full speed and provide the offence with a second explosive player, along with Gabe Skalofsky. Jensen will also be back this week to resume his duties at middle linebacker.

Thrown the Trojans’ imposing interior line that is anchored by senior standout Darby Kwan and they are a nasty piece of business to deal with in a sudden death post season scenario.

“Talking to my brother (Bruce), every year when the draw comes out there always seems to be a team that has had a really good year but ends up with a tough opponent,” added Haddow. “I’m pretty sure Carson is saying ‘how did we end up playing Boyd?’ I’m not saying it’s going to be an upset but they are going to know they were in a football game.”

Equally intriguing is the Trojans being in a quadrant that includes Northern Conference champion Prince George and East Conference fourth place finisher Robert Bateman. A semifinal berth isn’t an unrealistic goal.

For that to happen Boyd must be better in the red zone. Last Friday, they moved the ball inside the 20 at least two times and had nothing to show for it.

Saklofsky managed another huge night on the ground with 162 yards on just 13 carries yet the Saints buckled down near their own goalline.

Now, the Trojans are hoping the return of Conroy will mean the ability to finish drives.

“We have to find different ways to get the ball in his hands,” agreed Haddow.

End Zone…

The Trojans junior varsity team also sees post-season action this week as Boyd heads to Nanaimo Thursday to take on John Barsby.

SPORTS

Sockeyes fill the net in a pair of lopsided victories T

he floodgates opened in a big way, resulting in a pair of lopsided wins for the Richmond Sockeyes last week.

With a line-up that features mostly 17-year-olds, especially at the forward position, the Sockeyes were averaging just over three goals per game heading into last Wednesday’s contest against the Aldergrove Kodiaks.

Trailing 2-1 after 40 minutes, the Sockeyes stunned the hosts with eight goals in the final period to produce a 9-3 victory.

Amazingly, seven of the goals came by the 10:48 mark. Jeven Sidhu completed the explosion just under four minutes later, capping one of the biggest single period outbursts in franchise history. Local product Alex McLeod led the charge with a pair to complete his hat trick. Also scoring were Arjun Badh, Evan Thomas, Noah Wozney, Ty Paterson and captain Jordan Andrews.

Justin Schwartz and Brett Gelz chipped in with two assists each. Veteran blueliner Trevor Lima returned to the line-up from a

wrist injury that had him sidelined since early September and managed a pair of helpers.

The goals continued to come one night later at Minoru Arenas as the Sockeyes made short work of the 2-15 Langley Knights with a 7-1 victory.

Gelz topped all scorers with a three point outing, including a pair of goals. Connor Alderson added a goal and two assists.

Nicholas Wicks, Wozney, McLeod and Thomas had the others.

Thanks to the productive outings, McLeod now sits eighth in league scoring, and his 12 goals is second only to Mission sniper Bryce Pisiak who is on a blistering pace with 26 in 20 games.

More importantly, the Sockeyes now sit at 9-5-1-2 and are just four points out of first place in the ever-so-tight Tom Shaw Conference that sees six points separate four teams. Richmond travels to North Vancouver tonight to take on the Wolf Pack and the two sides also square off Thursday at Minoru. Game time is 7 p.m.

Chan named to development team F resh off being the top Canadian at the Junior Girls World Golf Championships, Richmond’s Katherine Chan has been named to Golf Canada’s 2016 National Development Squad.

The 15-year-old Quilchena Golf and Country Club junior is joined by two other B.C. players — Hannah Lee (Surrey) and Tif-

fany Kong (Vancouver), along with Ontario’s Grace St-Germain (Ottawa) and Chloe Currie (Mississauga).

The 19 and under development squad is designed to help facilitate the continued development of Canada’s top young talents.

The group will be coached by Anna Carroll.
