Vocal protest kicks off TPP public event

What’s inside:

GRAEMEWOOD

Staff Reporter

GWOOD@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

small but vocal rally to oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was held at a Richmond hotel Monday morning, as the Canadian government hosted the first of four public consultation meetings. The trade agreement between 12 Pacific Rim countries has reopened the debate over free trade deals, pitting proponents of increased trade and fewer tarriffs and regulations against the likes of trade unions, environmentalists and those concerned about national sovereignty. Touting the agreement as one that will foster more economic growth was B.C.’s Minister of International Trade Teresa Wat, who is also the MLA for Richmond Centre. Wat said her ministry believes the TPP will result in an additional $538 million annually in exports and services from B.C. and 2,500 jobs. As tariffs are reduced, she expects to see more port activity, as well. Opposing the TPP at the meeting was ecological economist Dr. Tom Green, who stated the trade deal is not unlike others in that it fails to recognize environmental consequences of unfettered trade (for instance, manufacturing moves to countries with less environmental protection). Among the people protesting outside was Open Media representative Meghan Salis, whose Canadian-based organization lobbies for Internet freedom. “It violates our sovereignty under a cloak of secrecy and (the government) tells us we can have a say only now after the deal is already done,” said Salis. Salis said the public meeting did little to allevieate concerns that the trade pact was signed after negotiations were shrouded in secrecy for years. Richmond RCMP confronted protesters outside the Radisson Hotel Vancouver several times, she said. See Heavy security page 4

Molotov cocktail may have caused fire ALANCAMPBELL Staff Reporter

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

ichmond RCMP is investigating a suspicious fire, which is thought to have displaced up to eight families late on Sunday evening in City Centre. Shortly after 11 p.m. the Mounties were called to the 5800 block of No. 3 Road to assist Richmond Fire-Rescue with a fire on the sixth floor of an apartment building. Fire crews had arrived earlier to find heavy smoke coming from the sixth floor. The Richmond News understands a Molotov device had been thrown on the floor before the fire was knocked down by the sprinkler system. Residents of the apartment claim this is the second time in a week that the building has been targeted, adding that a smoke bomb was previously let off and offensive

graffiti was found. However, according to the RCMP, the cause of the fire has yet to be determined, but is being treated as suspicious. “We are greatly relieved no one was injured,” said Richmond RCMP’s Cpl. Dennis Hwang. “We are currently reviewing surveillance footage and conducting interviews with witnesses. “One of our specially trained fire investigators is working with our counterparts from Richmond Fire-Rescue.” Anyone with information about the fire is asked to contact Cpl. Kevin Lin immediately at 604-278-1212. To leave a tip, email Richmond_Tips@ rcmp-grc.gc.ca or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). No injuries were reported, but several families were unable to return to their homes due to water damage.

Richmond Mountie faces assault charge

Richmond Mountie has been charged after allegedly assaulting a man in a cell block. According to a Richmond RCMP news release on Friday, Const.

Morrison was charged “following an investigation into his handling of a man” and, while the incident took place in a cell block, police didn’t state whether the al-

ichmond News reporter Philip Raphael has won First Place in the Canadian Community Newspaper Association’s awards for his Art of Healing feature about the visual arts as a form of healing for those suffering with mental illness. The Canadian Community Newspaper Association (CCNA) has a membership of more than 830 newspapers across Canada — representing every province and territory. Raphael was competing in the category of papers with a circulation of more than 10,000, typically with newsrooms staffed by the most experienced journalists. “To be crowned as having written the best Arts Coverage story in Canada for 2015 is a tremendous achievement,” said News publisher Pierre Pelletier.

Raphael has been with the Richmond News since 2013. “In that time he has proven himself to be a thoughtful and sensitive writer who has the ability to step into the shoes of those he interviews to provide a view of their world,” said editor Eve Edmonds. Art of Healing, published on Oct. 2 last year, describes both the trauma and despair associated with mental illness, as well as the relief and inspiration some have found through the visual arts. Raphael has also been named a finalist for a Ma Murray Award (B.C. and Yukon), as has fellow Richmond News reporter Graeme Wood. Winners in those awards will be announced May. 7 at the River Rock Casino.

Public invited to housing meetings T

he City of Richmond is hosting a series of public meetings in its effort to update and refine its policy to create more densified housing along arterial roads. The public is invited to learn about and provide comments on proposed changes to the Arterial Road Policy, which was created in 1999, via five public open houses, to be held throughout the city from April 23 to May 4. The first open house, this Saturday, will be held at Thompson Community Centre, 5151 Granville Ave. The open house schedule can be found online at Richmond.ca/Plandev/ Planning2/Projects/Arterialrd, on posters at community centres and via advertisements in the local newspaper. Residents and interested parties are

invited to attend one or more of these drop-in-style open houses to meet city planners, see display boards, learn what the proposed updates are and complete a survey providing feedback. The open house information boards and handouts, as well as the survey, will be online at LetsTalkRichmond.ca from Friday, April 22 until midnight, Sunday, May 8. All public feedback received from the open houses and LetsTalkRichmond.ca will be compiled as part of a staff report on the proposed amendments, to be presented for council consideration later this spring. For more information, call the city’s planning division at 604-276-4121 or email Arterial@Richmond.ca

Canada’s Minister of International Trade, Chrystia Freeland noted that although Canada signed the TPP, it has yet to ratify it. Meanwhile, the 50 or so members of the public who attended the four-hour meeting — hosted by government staff and several Members of Parliament — were met with heavy security and ID sign-in sheets at the doors. Salis said she found it odd that the meeting was held in Richmond and not Vancouver. She speculated the reason was so the federal RCMP could handle any protests and the relatively obscure location would prevent more people from attending. Open Media contends the TPP unjustly extends copyright protection and will result in more notices of takedown on the Internet. “We will see more content disappear,” said Salis. On the other side, major tech and Internet companies, such as Google and Apple, have touted the agreement for balancing copyright laws and the rights of individual creators with an open Internet. The TPP has made odd bedfellows of U.S. presidential candidates Democrat Bernie Sanders and Republican Donald Trump. “It’s a deal that was designed for China to come in, as they always do,

Sanders has stated the TPP will outsource jobs, erode sovereignty and undermine environmental protection. The Canadian Union of Public Employees has echoed such concerns. “Governments, not corporations, should set our country’s laws and policies. The TPP stands in the way of immediate and bold action on climate change,” said CUPE National Secretary-Treasurer Charles Fleury. Nevertheless, Wat contended, “we still have our own jurisdiction for our environmental protection.” Another concern about the TPP comes from Doctors Without Borders, which has stated the trade pact will broadly extend intellectual property rights, including those for pharmaceuticals. “The TPP is a bad deal for medicine: it’s bad for humanitarian medical treatment providers such as (Doctors Without Borders), and it’s bad for people who need access to affordable medicines around the world…” Canadian farmers and automakers have also expressed opposition to the TPP, which is expected to lift tariffs on imported food and cars, bringing those costs down but putting domestic jobs at risk.

Movable wall may save sport ALANCAMPBELL Staff Reporter

n The South Arm

racquetball players rallied to their cause last month with a petition to save their courts. A retractable wall may be the solution to keep everyone happy as demand for fitness space at South Arm Community Centre grows. File photo

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

‘I

guess it’s a compromise.” Ed Teranishi has mixed feelings about a proposal that might, in part, safeguard the future of his beloved racquetball in Richmond. The Richmond News reported last month how Teranishi and a small army of fellow racquetball enthusiasts feared for the sport due to plans to increase fitness space at South Arm Community Centre, at the expense of one of the city’s two remaining racquetball courts and a squash court. Nothing had been decided by the South Arm Community Association, which runs programs at the centre, or the City of Richmond, which owns the building. But with claims that the sport’s popularity has been on the slide for years, along with the increased demand for fitness facilities, the prospects for racquetball in Richmond looked grim. However, at a recent city council parks and recreation meeting, David Ince, the city’s community recreation services manager, noted that staff are examining options to install a removable wall in the centre to simultaneously accommodate squash and racquetball use. Essentially, the plan would allow for more fitness space, as well as two racquetball and two squash courts to still

be available if and when the new wall is moved. Noting that the idea came as “a result of feedback from players,” Ince added that the city is planning to partner with the association to advocate for federal funding for the potential upgrade. Pointing out that it was a delegation of racquetball players that came up with the removable wall idea, Teranishi told the News that the new plan “should help,” if it goes ahead. “I guess it’s the lesser of two evils. We either do this or we lose one of the courts altogether,” he said. “I guess it’s a kind of compromise. Let’s hope the federal funding comes through, otherwise…” Rob Dodman, South Arm Community Association president, said some community centre staff visited a similar facility in Burnaby to check out its retractable wall. Dodman also told how the

P PLANTLAND

vendor who supplies the walls paid a visit to South Arm to ascertain if it was even feasible to install one there. “We are still looking at how this might work into the overall plan,” said Dodman. “And we’re still waiting for funding for the whole project (fitness space expansion). “We will be talking to our committee and board about this in a week or two, then we’ll engage the larger community.” The idea of a retractable wall is a “winwin” added Dodman. “We get the floor space and the courts can do double duty.” Last month, the News told how a 25-strong crowd play racquetball at the centre’s two courts up to four times a week. However, according to the city, demand for the 66-year-old sport, very similar to squash, has waned over the last few years.

Richmond man who was convicted of using the Internet to get four underage girls to send explicit photos of themselves to him and then distributing those photos should receive a 6½-year jail term, a prosecutor argued Friday. After pre-trial defence challenges to the admissibility of the evidence and then a two-week trial, Stephen Reha pleaded guilty to four counts of Internet luring, two counts of distributing child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. Using Kik Messenger, an instant-message application for mobile devices, he targeted girls between the ages of 13 and 16, sending them explicit photos of himself. In return, the girls, who cannot be identified due to a publication ban in the case, sent him back explicit photos of themselves. Over the course of several months in 2013, Reha would then distribute those explicit photos to other men collecting child pornography.

Sex offender: Disagrees that he's a safety risk From page 5 seized a number of other photos and videos of child porn. Noting that each count of Internet luring and distribution of child porn carries a mandatory minimum sentence of one year in jail, Crown counsel Kristin Bryson argued that those counts should run consecutively and Reha should receive a 6½-year prison term. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Mark McEwan questioned whether the case at bar should be distinguished from other Internet luring cases in which an offender actually sexually assaulted or touched the victims. Bryson replied that Parliament had decreed the offences committed by Reha were serious, whether or not they actually physically offended against a child. Defence lawyer Mark Berry told the

judge that his client, a man in his 20s who spent much of his time at home playing video games, was a young adult dealing with some issues about social adjustment and emotional maturity, and had some cognitive challenges. He argued that a more appropriate sentence would be between 2 1/2 and four years in prison, providing Reha with a federal sentence that would give him access to sex-offender programs. Reha told the judge he disagreed with an assessment of him that he was a risk to reoffend and said that the reason he pleaded guilty was because of a lack of evidence to prove otherwise. “But deep down inside I know that something like this I would not do. But I’m standing here in front of you to say that I accept any sentence.” The judge is expected to impose sentence April 26.

420 unlikely to spark up any local celebrations Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

he chances of seeing a large cloud of marijuana smoke rising from any public plaza or park in Richmond on April 20 are about as slim as a pinner. And that’s fine by Rick Dubras, executive director of Richmond Addiction Services Society (RASS), who is hoping to open a dialogue on marijuana use, especially amongst youth, as the federal government embarks on legal and regulatory reforms for the popular drug. “We want to see a full host of education and regulation,” surrounding marijuana, said Dubras, whose organization is hosting Successfully Navigating Adolescence on April 21 at McNair secondary at 7 p.m. The evening’s keynote speaker is Barry MacDonald, founder of MentoringBoys.com, and author of Boys Smart and Boys on Target. MacDonald’s one hour presentation will be followed by a one hour panel discussion as well as questions and answers.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, thousands of proponents of marijuana decriminalization and legalization were set to toke up at Sunset Beach in Vancouver in celebration and protest to mark 420 (April 20th), the international day of marijuana advocacy. Unlike in Richmond, where the municipal government has not issued licences for medical marijuana shops, pot smokers in Vancouver have more than 100 marijuana dispensaries to choose from in order to obtain all sorts of THC-packed products. The obscure licensing program is set to become more restrictive in Vancouver, but it’s nevertheless a cause for concern for Dubras. “Medical marijuana needs to be strictly controlled and regulated. There should be a select few store fronts for the proper dispensing of it,” said Dubras. “The black market is not the answer and prohibition is not the answer,” he added. The illegal marijuana dispensaries sprouted up all over Vancouver after its municipal government issued some licences for medical marijuana shops.

The City of Richmond invites your input on design options for the

Garden City Lands

In 2014, Council endorsed the Garden City Legacy Landscape Plan. The plan provided direction to develop the Garden City Lands into a park. The plan also established four themes to guide development: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Urban Agriculture Natural Environment Community Wellness and Active Living Cultural Landscapes / Place Making

The City has developed detailed design options for the Garden City Lands that provide for bog conservation, agriculture and passive recreation. We invite you to attend one of the following drop-in style public open houses to review and comment on these design options:

Too risky to give up RCMP

Dear Editor, On the matter of policing in Richmond, the people have told city hall what they want in policing and city hall is disappointed. The RCMP do fine work and we have one of the lowest crime rates in the region; how better to measure the effectiveness of police. Now, city hall wants to try regional police. They tried that in Quebec in the 1990s and it did not end well. Communities similar to Richmond saw their resources being diverted. More recently, Esquimalt amalgamated with Victoria Police and Esquimalt saw the same thing happen to them. Time to move ahead. City hall needs to build a new relationship with the RCMP, they need to give them the resources that they have already asked for. We have an effective police force and if we change now, we put that at risk, along with our safety. Scott Stewart Richmond

City deaf to the people's wishes on policing Dear Editor, I am still mystified by the antiRCMP attitude of our Richmond mayor and some councillors and their intent to pursue a regional police force. It seems to me that there is an unwritten agenda here, which is essentially a power-grab of services which are not — and should not be — under the control of

ally correct. Looking through the survey report, the following points are also significant: 1) Many respondents felt the survey was biased in favour of a local police force. 2) It was not clear why the review process was taking place. 3) There was no mention in the survey of a regional local police force as an option? In fact, at one

of the open houses, it was stated the regional police force idea has already been turned down by other cities! Given that city council is evidently at odds with the wishes of the majority of its constituency, perhaps it is time for councillors to reconsider their future on council. Michael Paice Richmond

local politicians. The results of the recent extensive survey are clear — the majority of Richmond citizens are in favour of keeping the RCMP. Therefore, the conclusion from the survey that “ultimately, many residents and stakeholders agree that the creation of a local, independent police force seems like a good idea ….” is not factu-

ave a look at the photo, taken two years ago from Richmond’s City Centre. It’s onefifth of a panoramic scene. The rest of the panorama includes the Lions to the west (left) and Mount Baker to the southeast. At the mid-point, you see part of Richmond’s last mixed urban forest, also known as the Alderbridge wildlife corridor. It’s on the north edge of noisy Alderbridge Way, but you could crouch there on a sunny day and feel bathed in the sounds of nature. It’s special to sense nature’s life as you soak in natural viewscapes from the middle of a city. No wonder the City of Richmond put this legacy viewscape on the covers of its 2014 Legacy Landscapes booklet. The bad news: Although the forest had layers of protection, the city brushed them aside, ignoring the pleas of informed citizens. That doomed the mixed urban forest. A band of developments has taken its place. As a

legacy step, it’s like sticking duct tape on Leonardo’s Mona Lisa at eye level. The good news: We can shift the mixed urban forest south across Alderbridge. We can regenerate it on the Garden City Lands between the Alderbridge sidewalk and the dike-road trail. If the city acts on this, it will enrich a Legacy Landscapes idea — perimeter woods. Before the doomed forest was moonscaped, people looked north at it and wondered which side of Alderbridge it was on. From the photo, you may wonder, too. In that aspect, the old and new forest will eventually look the same. Efficient technology and potential funding exist to transplant mid-size trees from demolition sites for this purpose. Crucially, there’s a manager on staff who could lead it well. Lately, in a Bridge Street development area with more than 250 trees, only nine were kept. Although we want to retain more trees where they are, let’s re-home trees as need be. In that way (among others), the lost legacy of mixed urban forest can take shape again as an engaging

ALR feature of our new central park. As I see it, there will be most kinds of Richmond trees there, especially evergreens that grow to a happy-medium height, screening the developments but not the mountains. Along Alderbridge in the northwest corner of the park, half the 50,000 cubic metres of clay in “the mound” could be moved to make way for forest soil and trees. (That clay would then be mixed with organic soil for agriculture.)

As before, the Alderbridge mixed urban forest would stretch from Garden City Road to No. 4 Road, but the ends of the strip would ideally curve south. From most angles, that would screen the intersections, making for greener viewscapes. All going well, the ecosystem of the lost legacy will thrive again, with values for wellness, wildlife and more. Let’s get this right. Jim Wright is president of the Garden City Conservation Society

LETTERSto the Editor

The Community Connection With Your Richmond MLAs

I feel defeated by school closures: Single mom

Dear Editor, Re: “Closing time,” Front Feature, April 8. It comes as no surprise that the Richmond School Board has shortlisted 16 schools for possible closure. Upon reviewing the school (enrolment) projections for the next couple of years, it makes sense schools that are low in numbers and also require seismic upgrades, should be closed to better manage resources. This is especially true where another nearby school is within walking distance. I have a child who is approaching school age and it is unsettling to think our public school system is struggling to make ends meet. It’s cut back after cut back. As a single parent, my challenges on a daily basis to balance life and work are exhausting. It really does “take a village to raise a child” and so far, I feel defeated by the school district putting up road block after road block.

Community Connextion April ‘16 $$$$$$$$$$

I made note of every important application date and, short of camping out overnight or lying about our residence address. I did everything the school district asked of me. In the end, the district has turned down my non-catchment transfer. I’m now forced to keep my child at a school which is more than 50 per cent over capacity AND give up an out-of-school care spot at a nearby school that I have waited four years to get. How can the district justify its decision when a parent is willing to help re-allocate resources. It’s turning down a win-win situation and, after the official closures are announced, it will likely be forcing more parents into a corner. I guess the school board thrives on negative publicity.

We know that it’s important for government to keep its financial house in order and it’s just as important for families and individuals to do the same. That’s why it’s so important that financial literacy is taught at an early age - because those habits can last a lifetime. Today, April 20th, the Canadian Foundation for Economic Education is hosting the annual ‘Talk with our Kids about Money Day.’ It’s held on the third Wednesday each April, in partnership with BMO Financial Group. It’s a day for families and teachers to make a point of talking with kids about money—whether at the dinner table or in the classroom. All Richmond public schools have been encouraged to hold “money talks” sessions with students. The ‘Home Program’ features an informative website that provides parents and guardians with ideas, activities, tools and resources that help them engage in age-appropriate conversations and interactions about money. Meanwhile, the ‘School Program’ specifically targets grade 7 students, and helps teachers plan lessons and projects that focus on a money topic. Some examples include: • the common costs of running a home • how to create a budget • the cost of owning and caring for a pet Some schools even organize ‘Money Fairs’ in which students in grades 6, 7 and 8 undertake research on money topics, and then prepare creative displays that showcase what they’ve learned. Kudos to the Richmond Board of Education, Richmond resident Tung Chan, the Canadian Foundation for Economic Education’s B.C. Coordinator, Kumi Abercrombie, as well as BMO Financial Group, for their work in helping kids learn the value of money at an early age.

rees have been hitting the headlines. Most recently, in February, the national papers assured us that 85 per cent of B.C.’s Great Bear Rainforest would, henceforth, be protected from industrial logging. But locally, the tree news is almost always bad news. Many Richmond residents continue to bemoan the fact that healthy, mature trees are being sacrificed at an alarming rate to accomodate construction projects that aren’t invariably welcome. I’m fortunate because my neighbourhood is still dotted with big trees, though I fear there’ll soon be more big houses than big trees. Sadly, a couple of the trees planted by my parents behind the house have had to go because they’d become a hazard — they’d been topped before the bylaw came into effect and were rotting. However, their removal has made me look with even greater fondness and interest at the ones still present — a hawthorn, rowan, beech and linden. In fact, I now consider myself their guardian. Trees, besides being essential for the health of our natural environment (and beneficial to human psychological development, as Jane Goodall observed about greenery in general), have played a vital role in our civilization’s social history. I knew about this in a vague way, but a story I recently read sparked my curiosity and drove me to investigate. The etymology of tree is related to that of the word true, both traceable to a ProtoIndo-European source that meant to be firm, steadfast. Was it a tree’s towering height and

impressive solidity, sometimes combined with a great age (oak and olive trees can live up to 2,000 years) that led people to associate them with qualities such as faithfulness, uprightness and honesty? For instance, the oak has long been a symbol of strength and steadfastness, widely used in heraldry. We have a few magnificent oaks in Minoru Park, whose canopies shelter us at the northwest corner of the park. But the grandest oaks I’ve ever seen are the five along No.2 Road, between Granville Avenue and Garrison Road, monumental specimens deserving to be revered. When my parents planted a linden tree in the front yard, they were paying homage to the pair of ancient lindens flanking our house in Germany. Their massive roots were my enchanted armchair when I was a child, and their flowers have been sipped by hundreds of generations of bees. The linden’s soft wood (also called lime wood) was traditionally favoured by Renaissance German woodcarvers (the most famous of whom is Tilman Riemenschneider) for their breathtaking religious sculptures. In medieval England, hawthorns often marked the place where people assembled for debate on public issues. Such assemblies were called moots; we still use the phrase moot point for a subject to dispute. My backyard hawthorn is an assembly hall for small birds, including Anna’s hummingbirds. To judge by the sounds issuing from the hawthorn, their moot points are unending. But I bet there’ll be one point on which all agree — the senseless destruction of trees must cease.

Going on safari...with the houseflies of Richmond NADINEJONES Guest Columnist

hate to think I attract flies. But I do cook for my daughter once a week here at the Maple Residences, so I’m hoping it’s the food smells that have flies lined up in formation to come in as soon as I open the screen door to my balcony.

Because I don’t kill them, I am forced to go on fly safaris and capture them, bravely armed with a drinking glass and a piece of paper. And because I get to know them intimately before I put them out, I have learned that house flies have very different personalities, ranging from placid to frenetic. I don’t know why Central Richmond flies (I moved from Central Richmond so I know those flies) are more lackadaisical than

Steveston ones. Steveston flies are far more involved in playing “Catch me if you Can,” whilst darting here and there, whereas Central flies seem to be content with just lazing loops. So, I was very surprised the other day when a fly landed on my coffee table and I was able to sneak up behind her and surreptitiously place a glass over her. I slowly eased a piece of paper under the glass and there she was, captive. Did she knock herself out as they usually do full force against the glass or walk quickly around the rim to see if there was a way out? No. And this is how I know she was a girl; she calmly sat and preened herself, acting as though she didn’t have a worry in the world. First, her front legs. Then each wing and then her back legs. Then she just sat and waited for something to develop. I figured there must be a reason she was so placid, perhaps she was just tired?

All-You-Can-Eat In Richmond

I know I wasn’t in the mood to fly or even walk after giving birth four separate times and I wondered if this lady fly was just tired after going through eggbirth? I learned that a housefly’s lifespan is approximately 15 to 30 days and, in that time, she would have been able to lay up to six batches of 150 eggs each batch. If that had happened to her recently, she had a perfect right to just sit and relax. She had already proven she was tough, having survived her own birth from an egg to a larva, then a pupa and then an adult. I let her rest a little while longer before saying goodbye. I lifted the glass and held the paper on top until I had the screen door open and then I took off the paper and she was free to leave. She nonchalantly climbed up the glass and flew off without even a waggle of her wings. Nadine Jones is a former journalist for the Vancouver Sun.

Day of Mourning

ately, I have been fascinated by Canadian First Nations writers, and the writing of Richard Wagamese shimmers. Indian Horse is the story of Saul Indian Horse, an Ojibway from northern Ontario. His life is marred by the horrors of the residential schools, which systematically separated children from families and tore the heart out of generations of First Nations people. After Saul’s siblings are forced into one such school, his family retreats into the bush. Gods Lake is a place where the spirit world and physical world meet, and there Saul discovers that he is capable of visions and communion with his ancestors. His revelations begin an emotional journey to discover his own identity. Eventually forced to retreat from the bush as winter approaches, Saul finds himself, tragically, in the very place his family was trying to avoid — the residential school. There, Saul witnesses abuse of every kind, as well as the suicides of a number of children. He goes into survival mode, caring only for himself. Yet hope arrives unexpectedly, as the new priest, Father Leboutillier, introduces the students to hockey which quickly becomes the focus of the novel. Using his ability to “see beyond,” Saul becomes an incredible player. In scenes of

Last year, 29 B.C. workers died as a result of a construction-related incident. Now 29 families mourn. Let’s make our workplaces safe and healthy. Thursday, April 28 For more information about ceremonies in your area, visit dayofmourning.bc.ca

striking beauty, he abandons himself to the game and lifts himself, if only momentarily, into the spiritual realm. Soon, he is taken in by a family on a reserve and joins the local hockey team. As his hockey prowess grows, Saul begins to identify less as a victim, or a child torn from his family, and more as an athlete. But identity is constructed of self-perception as well as the perceptions of others. In the hockey world he experiences the reality of being an Indian in a white world, subject to the bigotry and hatred of the ruling class. He becomes progressively angry, drinking to quash the pain of racism and the legacy of the residential school that still haunts him. From the grace and freedom brought on by the game of hockey to the sadness and despair of the residential school, Richard Wagamese’s Indian Horse vividly presents the emotional highs and lows of growing up Native in 1960s Canada.

SPORTS Beyond the Scores

Comox & Alaska rinks crowned PIC champions T

he Richmond Curling Club must have felt a whole lot like home to Ron Schmidt. His Comox Valley Curling Club rink dominated men’s play at the 17th annual Pacific International Cup, capped by a 7-3 win over Australia on Sunday to capture overall honours. Schmidt’s crew went 9-0 over the fiveday event — also earning the opportunity to represent B.C. at the Traveler’s Curling Club Championships next fall in Kelowna. They did that with a 9-4 win against Kerry Park’s Randy Zinkiew rink in an all-Island B.C. Club Challenge final which took place hours earlier. Australia skip Matt Panoussi was already guaranteed his best PIC finish before the men’s championship game had even started. His rink did that by going 6-1 in pool play, then producing a 10-3 victory on Sunday morning over Yukon representative Tyler Williams to surpass a bronze medal effort back in 2010. Panoussi set the tone of the international final by jumping out to a huge 8-0 lead after just two ends. The gold medal match-up was also all but decided in the early going when Schmidt struck for four in the second end and added two more in the third to open up a 6-1 lead and never looked back. Founded back in 1998, the PIC celebrates grassroots club curling around the world. The competition is divided up into two divisions — B.C. and International — and features four days of round-robin play to set up championship Sunday. The B.C. and In-

title was complete with a 5-2 win over PIC veteran Kim Jonsson of Campbell River — a two-time past champion and seven-time participant. Jonsson still had plenty to celebrate. Her 6-5 triumph over Nanaimo in the B.C. Challenge final sends her team to the club nationals as well in Kelowna. The loss in the B.C. final ended quite a come back for Heather Lindsay-Lecuyer’s Nanaimo Curling Club foursome. They looked down and out after an 0-3 start to round-robin play before roaring back with seven straight victories to climb back into championship contention. The run was highlighted by a 7-4 tiebreaker win over Vernon to slip into Sunday morning’s B.C. semi-final game where they defeated Cloverdale 9-5 to set the stage for an all-Island final. The improbable run nearly continued as Lindsay-Lecuyer stole one in the eighth to set up an extra end where Jonsson’s rink finally prevailed. RCC’s own Rob Dennis rink just missed out of a playoff spot, finishing one game back of third place Langley. It came down to his final round-robin match-up where Dennis dropped a 7-4 decision to Cody Tanaka’s Tunnel Town rink to just miss out on a potential Saturday night tiebreaker. The PIC also serves as a fundraiser for Spinal Cord Injury B.C. This year’s event generated over $6,500 through a silent auction of items generously donated by sponsors.

Upstart Ravens off to cup final for first time

Mark BOOTH Sports Editor

MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

ichmond Ravens have certainly saved their best for last. Having finished at the bottom of the standings in regular season play, the U18 Division One girls soccer team was considered a longshot when the 63rd annual Coastal Cup playdowns began earlier this month. Not only did the Ravens advance out of the opening round for the very first time, they are off to the championship game thanks to three straight wins on home field. The girls needed penalty kicks Sunday to surprise Surrey F.C. 1-0 to move on to the Coastal “B” Cup final in two weeks in Aldergrove against the defending champion Tsawwassen Blues. The result also sends Richmond to the Provincial “B” Cup Championships in Penticton this July. Those accomplishments seemed like nothing more than a distant dream back in December when the Ravens were last in the top flight of the B.C. Coastal Girls Soccer League with just one win in 11 games. They were relegated to the “B” Group for the League Cup playdowns in January. Richmond hasn’t lost since, winning six games to take the League Cup honours, then three more victories in Coastal Cup playdowns. Sandwiched between the success was a trip to Hawaii at spring break, that certainly seemed like would be the final chapter in youth soccer for many of the players. “I’ve been around a lot of teams over the years and, honestly, these girls just love each other,” said Ravens co-coach Stephen Burns. “They have really bought into everything and they do try to play soccer. “The Hawaii trip brought them closer and it was so nice (from I’ve been around a lot of that standpoint). We teams over the years and, thought it might be bit of a struggle coming honestly, these girls just back but we beat a love each other. They have team in the first round that we lost to earlier really bought into everythis season and have thing and they do try to just kept it going. Surrey came to Hugh play soccer. Boyd having handily beat Richmond in two – Stephen Burns previous meetings (6-1 and 4-1). This time it was a much tighter affair thanks to some exceptional work by the Ravens’ backline, led by aged up central defender Georgia Booker. Each side rattled the cross bar during regulation and overtime. The Ravens also failed to convert a second half penalty. However, they did hit three straight attempts in the shootout, while Surrey twice missed the net entirely and goalie Ali Burns made the game-clinching save. “The thing is we really don’t worry a lot about results in league play because we know we get into the cup and that’s part of it,” added Burns. “Once we started the second half of the year, we gelled more offensively. Our best player today was Georgia and earlier in the season she had a ton of field hockey going on. We have her back now and the whole backline has got better.” The Ravens will be underdogs again against a Tsawwassen team that won the Coastal Cup a year ago and captured the top flight of League Cup play with an unbeaten record. They won’t need much of a scouting a report. Burns knows a number of their players as a longtime teacher and coach at South Delta Secondary School. Meanwhile, Richmond F.C. continued its outstanding season in in girls U15 Coastal “A” Cup playdowns with a 3-1 road win over Surrey United Guildford on Sunday. The girls will now face Delta Coastal Selects in the final, which will take place in Aldergrove. Richmond is also guaranteed a berth in the Provincial “A” Cup Championships which will be held in Burnaby July 7-10.
