Alice Wong swims into shark fin debate by slurping soup

‘Almost impossible’ to trace shark imports, says NDP MP

by Matthew Hoekstra

Staff Reporter Richmond MP Alice Wong waded into the shark fin soup debate Thursday by sitting down to a bowl of the delicacy at The Jade Seafood Restaurant. Wong appeared at an afternoon press conference in Richmond for Chinese media to back the B.C. Asian Restaurant and Cafe Owners Association’s position to keep shark fin soup on menus. The two-term Conservative MP has been silent on the issue until now. “The whole thing has become so political now,” she said. “I’ve got so many phone calls from constituents who want me to clarify the facts.” She said Canada already bans the practice of shark finning— when a harvester removes fins from a shark and discards the rest of the animal at sea. “In Canada that is illegal. But we have no intention of making shark fin soup illegal.” Wong said Canada only allows shark fin imports if there’s evidence the products have been harvested legally. As for her own tastes, Wong said she “likes” shark fin soup, but said “we don’t always eat it.” “It’s people’s choice. If people like to eat it, they do. If people decide not to, fine. But banning it? This is not the federal government’s decision,” she said. “The product is imported legally, from a legal source, so there’s no basis for us to ban it.” Wong’s appearance infuriated Marley Daviduk of the Vancouver Animal Defense League.

“I’m absolutely furious that a member of Parliament would address only the Chinese media,” said Daviduk. “Richmond is a multicultural city, as is Canada. It is her job to address everyone.” Wong’s director of communications, Robert Lynch, said he’s “trying to get to the bottom” of why other media weren’t invited to the press conference. Daviduk said because the practice of shark finning is banned in Canada, 450 kilograms of shark fin were import-

ed into Vancouver on Thursday alone. So far this year, more than 71,000 kilograms have been imported, and Daviduk said it’s impossible to determine what fins have been harvested legally. “Sharks are hunted all over the world, a lot of it by poachers…and by the time they get to Canada, they’re just a dried fin. Nobody knows where they came from, who hunted them—there’s no way to prove it.” Daviduk said there’s “no such

thing as sustainably harvesting a species that’s 90 per cent gone.” “Canada is a hotspot for this and it needs to be dealt with— on a federal level, on a provincial level, and if neither of those governments do something, then we have to do something on a municipal level.” In August Daviduk confronted the owner of The Jade restaurant, David Chung, challenging his decision to keep shark fin soup on his menu.

Illegally harvested shark fins are being imported into Canada and it’s up to the federal government to stop the practice, an Opposition MP said yesterday. “Canada can become a world leader by saying we’re not going to accept those often illegally harvested fins that are causing…a huge trend in the loss of sharks in the last short number of years,” said Fin Donnelly, the NDP’s deputy critic for Fisheries and Oceans. Donnelly, MP for New Westminster-Coquitlam and Port Moody, has been drumming up support for his private member’s bill that calls for the banning of shark fin imports. The bill could be considered for second reading in early December. But so far Alice Wong isn’t among his supporters, after the Richmond MP dined on a bowl of shark fin soup for some reporters last Thursday. “It seems like she’s trying to deliver a specific message to a specific audience, as opposed to dealing with this issue at hand,” said Donnelly. Donnelly said although Canada’s spiny dogfish shark fishery is a well-managed fishery, sharks elsewhere in the world are being fished without the same certification as required here. “It’s almost impossible without DNA testing to trace where that shark fin is coming from,” said Donnelly, adding imports can be a mix of legal and illegally caught fins. The Union of B.C. Municipalities passed a resolution last month calling on senior governments to take action on shark finning, a practice that Donnelly said threatens one-third of all shark species with extinction and kills up to 75 million sharks each year. A government source confirmed shark fin importers aren’t required to provide detailed information about their products. Richmond Coun. Chak Au believes the federal government should tighten import rules. “We have to target those people who practise shark finning. That is not defensible. We have to tighten up our regulations and enforcement to make sure that all shark fins that come into Canada are legally harvested,” he said. Au said Cathay Pacific Airlines set a good example last month by enacting a policy refusing to transport shark fins without proof they’re legally harvested. Au said the move has significantly reduced the airline’s volume of shark fin shipments.

Canadian Tenors brighten hospital patients’ day Three of the tenors tour Richmond Hospital

“We’re very fortunate to perform and share our music around the world. But health is everything...” – Fraser Walters

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Marcia Brodie was moved to tears as the Canadian Tenors sang for her inside Richmond Hospital’s chemotherapy ward Tuesday morning. It was her last day of cancer treatment, and on this day as fortune would have it, she got to meet and chat with three-fourths of the made-in-Canada international singing sensation. Richmond’s own Fraser Walters, Clifton Murray and Victor Micallef greeted patients in the ward, and spent some time chatting with them, listening to their individual stories. (Remigio Pereira, the fourth member of the group, was unable to appear due to illness). The tenors received a tour of the hospital’s refurbished emergency ward, courtesy manager Claude Stang. “We love doing our music, and I think it’s always from a real place. And when you see this, it reminds us to keep it real, all the time,” said Micallef. “Going through the hospital, and doing charity events like the 25th anniversary gala, it charges and in-

spires our music. And it reminds us that every time we get on stage, to try to make a difference in a small way, and to really connect with the music and make sure that we’re affecting people in a positive way.” The Richmond Hospital Foundation celebrated its 25th anniversary this year, and the Canadian Tenors ensured it was an unforgettable fundraising gala. The singers performed at the 14th Starlight Gala at River Rock Casino Resort, which raised money for the Richmond Hospital Foundation. Walters shared a personal story about how the Richmond Hospital helped save his life. While a university athlete, he was diagnosed with a heart condition that required a days-long stay at Richmond Hospital, and eventually surgery. “I remember the care at that time was just unbelievable and so this place, it’s very meaningful for me to come back,” Walters said. “We’re very fortunate to perform and share our music around the world. But health is everything...”

New site considered for YVR luxury outlet Feasibility study looks at placing luxury designer outlet next to Canada Line station by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter The Vancouver International Airport is looking at an alternate location to place a controversial luxury designer outlet originally planned for on Russ Baker Way. “After we consulted with our communities and residents in the summer, we considered a potential alternate site on Sea Island. The potential alternate site is located on the northeast corner of Sea Island and offers closer access to the Templeton Canada Line station,” said airport authority spokesperson Alana Lawrence. “The project is still

going forward...Feasibility testing is currently underway on the site (and) should be completed this fall.” Last March, plans for the 459,600-square-foot retail mall were unveiled for a 21.5-hectare site on Russ Baker Way. The project would see the world’s leading fashion brands come to a mall similar in area to Lansdowne Centre mall. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said members of Richmond council, the airport’s board, and staff from both sides, met a couple of months ago to discuss concerns about the joint venture between the airport and London-based developer McArthurGlen Group. “They listened to our concerns and have promised that they would conduct a feasibility study to see if another location, probably around the Templeton station, would be feasible,” Brodie said. “That’s the last concrete thing I have heard, other than we’ve seen the trucks taking the preload off the site beside BCIT (aerospace campus) and moving it over to the site

“Our council believes that that is a viable option and certainly far superior to the BCIT site.” – Malcolm Brodie

at the Templeton station.” (Lawrence noted that work planned for the Russ Baker Way site is “largely complete” and added: “The soil from the Russ Baker Way site was relocated to airport property on the north side of the island off Ferguson Road.”) Plans for an alternate site for development on Sea Island are part of a separate project that already include a 250-room hotel complex and a business park. The luxury outlet is slated to open its doors in the fall of 2004 with 97 stores. “I’ve been assured that the pro-

cess has been ongoing, and that they had not given final approval as a board for the outlet mall at the BCIT site,” Brodie said. Asked about why the Templeton site is considered better, Brodie said: “Our council believes that that is a viable option and certainly far superior to the BCIT site.” A retail outlet along the banks of the middle arm of the Fraser River would create “walls of concrete” to people driving by, Brodie said, adding that outlet mall signs would not be attractive. Brodie said the airport authority spent $300 million to help build the Sea Island arm of the Canada Line, and so “it never made sense that they then wanted to undermine the benefits of the Canada Line by designing and locating an outlet mall away from the Canada Line.” He noted that travellers stopping over in Vancouver would be able to use the Canada Line for free for trips between the airport and the Templeton station and the proposed location for the luxury outlet.

City still studying shark fin ban From Page 1 Chung, who is president of the B.C. Asian Restaurant and Cafe Owners Association, was asked to provide fin samples to test for endangered species. He declined. Chung has been a vocal opponent of a fin ban—something the City of Richmond is currently studying. The restaurateur maintains that few shark species are facing extinction, and the Chinese tradition of eating shark fin soup is one he doesn’t want to break. While Richmond studies a possible ban on shark fin, other cities have enacted bylaws to outlaw the product, including Toronto. Animal activists say fins are cruelly harvested and has put many shark species at risk of extinction.

Olympic museum to open in the oval in 2013 'One of the best business opportunities' city has had, says top administrator by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond's chief of staff said Monday a new Olympic museum will draw tourists and won't put the city at financial risk despite its multimillion dollar price tag. "As a business opportunity, I see this as one of the best business opportunities we've ever had," said George Duncan. "This is a real plus for Richmond, and I'll stand behind the business case (for the museum) anytime ahead of a lot of things that we do." Richmond Olympic Oval Corporation officials won city council's endorsement this week for the $6-million-plus Richmond Olympic Experience Project—an Olympic museum that will be housed inside the oval and build on a long-planned exhibition of Richmond's Olympic story. Officials hope to open the facility by next fall. As first reported by The Richmond Review, a delegation of oval and city officials successfully pitched the idea over one year ago to International Olympic Committee brass in Lausanne, Switzerland. Brass from the oval corporation—an arm's length company owned by the City of Richmond—are banking on tourists to offset operating costs, which could total $300,000 annually, with admission fees averaging $15. Tourists will already pay $2.5 million in capital costs through hotel tax collected by Tourism Richmond. Another $2 million is being drawn from oval and city accounts, along with up to $1.5 million from an unnamed sponsor. Project officials have also applied to the federal government for an additional $1 million grant toward construction costs. Project officials argue the museum will give tourists another reason to base their stay in Richmond—and offer

more incentive to visit the oval. But one councillor voted against the project Monday. Coun. Chak Au questioned its ability to draw tourists and wondered why the Richmond museum would be the first in North America to join the IOC's Olympic Museum Network. "We might flatter ourselves to claim (to have) the first Olympic museum in North America. But my question is, if this is such a good thing, why in so long a time nobody wants to have an Olympic museum in North America? That makes me become suspicious." But Duncan, chief administrator of the city and oval corporation, said the network is "relatively new" and gives members access to artifacts and materials

Richmond Olympic Experience Project

The City of Richmond has contracted Imperial Paving Ltd. to grind and pave the following locations in Richmond as noted:

•An official Olympic museum with four areas of focus: Richmond’s Olympic experience, the 2010 Winter Olympics, the history of sport in Richmond and Olympic movement and values •It will feature three areas: theatre, museum environment and interactive zone •Estimated to cost at least $6 million, with hotel room tax funding majority •Primary location is on mezzanine next to Legacy Lounge •Target opening of fall 2013 worth "millions." "There are others who would be quite happy to have this honour," he said. Still, another councillor, Derek Dang, said he would have liked to see more solid numbers in the project proposal, instead of "airy fairy stuff." But Duncan insisted

City Board

the museum doesn't pose a financial risk to Richmond, since the project is only drawing $575,000 directly from the city—an amount approved long ago. He noted the museum will utilize the oval's existing walls and front-end staff. See Page 7

$200,000 worth of girders stolen from site Some $200,000 worth of construction material has disappeared from a gated compound in North Richmond. And now Richmond Mounties are asking for the public’s help in pinpointing the thieves who stole launching girders from a facility at Van Horne Way and

Great Canadian Way. According to investigators, the material was stolen sometime between July 1 and Sept. 4, and a witness has indicated that he saw three Caucasian men take the items on three separate occasions. The men were linked to a

green GMC or Chevrolet pickup truck and a white Ford flat deck truck. The launching girders are used to make bridges, and the stolen ones were yellow or blue in colour and marked with the codes: B401, L49 C4101-2101, L49 C2001, D2001, D701, G,

and E1201. Anyone with information about the stolen construction material is asked to call Richmond RCMP Const. Jennifer Chow at 604-278-1212, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477. —by Martin van den Hemel

City accelerates Garden City lands plan New timetable sets June 2014 for city to complete plan for farmland by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

A final plan for the Garden City lands is now just 20 months away, according to a new timetable endorsed by city council Monday. This fall senior parks planners will begin mapping out the future of one of city's largest and most contentious real estate holdings. The vacant 55-hectare (136.5-acre) lands are locked in the Agricultural Land Reserve but "present a unique opportunity to provide a broad range of public amenities integrated with significant urban agricultural and environmental features," according to a staff report from Mike Redpath and Yvonne Stich. "Very few cities in the world have the opportunity to plan and implement such a large civic space within a city centre context," the report says. The parks department has re-prioritized its plans for the next two years to accommodate the Garden City lands planning process, now scheduled to be complete by June 2014. City staff are taking the lead on the project, but will also rely on a $300,000 budget for consultants to provide "technical expertise." On March 31, 2010, the city completed the purchase of the Garden City lands, netting the Musqueam Indian Band and Canada Lands Company $29.6 million each from the city. Musqueam Chief Ernest Campbell and other band members subsequently launched a lawsuit to reverse the sale and honour an original agreement to develop the land. The lawsuit has yet to be resolved

Calgary man charged in death of limo driver A 20-year-old Calgary man has been charged with dangerous driving causing death and impaired driving causing death in the tragic crash last January that killed a limousine driver for Richmond-based Aerocar Service. Delta’s Shafiqur Rahman, 54, died when his limo exploded and became engulfed in flames during a collision with a Ford pick-up truck that police suspect crossed the centre line on Jan. 28. Rahman was the sole provider for his family, and in the midst of putting his eldest son through university and also has a teenage boy in high school. “He was an excellent and professional chauffeur who was well liked by his fellow chauffeurs,” his employer said. On Tuesday morning, police announced that North Vancouver Crown had approved the charges against Jacob Mitzimberg, 20. He is scheduled to make his first appearance in North Vancouver court on Dec. 5. —by Martin van den Heme

Olympics is what will sell museum to tourists From Page 5 Duncan also told council the project will complement other local attractions and won't take away from a possible future city museum—one of council's goals that staff are expected to report on this fall. Coun. Harold Steves called the Olympic museum an "exciting proposal" that—when paired with a new city museum—would help Richmond

become a "heritage hub" for B.C. "Putting all these together could really build a tremendous network of heritage sites. As long as we're doing both I'm happy." The Olympic museum will be built on the mezzanine level, next to the Legacy Lounge. Other features will be located throughout the venue, including a theatre. Interactive elements are key to the design.

Coun. Evelina Halsey-Brandt and other councillors said Richmond's sporting history should remain a key part of the museum. "I want to ensure the community feel isn't lost," she said. "I think it's important not to lose focus why the oval is actually there." But John Mills, the oval corporation's chief operating officer, told council

the Olympics is what will sell the museum to tourists. "Every community has an interesting story and history. Richmond probably outperforms its size and it's of great interest to the people of Richmond, and it's some interest to others, but it's the Olympics…that will get out-of-town relatives into our community.”

The future is yours

Richmond invites you to comment on the new 2041 Official Community Plan Background The City last updated its Official Community Plan in 1999. The new 2041 OCP Update was prepared along with extensive participation of residents, business owners and stakeholders. The process involved three major rounds of community consultation beginning in November 2009 with over 28 OCP public open houses over the three-year period, along with City-wide surveys, and online discussion forums.

After almost three years in the making, the new 2041 Official Community Plan (OCP) is undergoing final public and stakeholder review before it goes to Council for final approval. With the title, Moving Towards Sustainability, this new Official Community Plan sets the framework for Richmond’s future development to 2041. The public has a number of opportunities to learn more about the new plan and to provide comment. Why should you be interested? The OCP is a tool that helps assist Richmond City Council in managing to 2041, population and employment growth, development, housing, transportation, community amenities, infrastructure and the natural environment.

Ways to be involved • Visit www.letstalkrichmond.ca to learn more about the plan and provide comments • Attend a public open house on Saturday, Oct. 20 • Attend or make a written submission to the Public Hearing, anticipated to be Monday, November 19, 2012 (Correspondence may be sent at any time prior to the hearing to the City Clerk’s Department) City of Richmond | 6911 No. 3 Rd.

The updated plan includes • targets for Richmond’s population to grow to 280,000 by 2041, by allowing increased density in selected areas, while protecting existing single family neighbourhoods, farmland and environmentally sensitive areas • steps to support Richmond’s aging population • plans to reduce reliance on the automobile for local transportation • supporting the City’s commitments to combat climate change • and much more

The vision for the new 2041 OCP Update... is for Richmond to be a sustainable and healthy island city that meets the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

EDITORIAL: Shark fin debate all about tales

lice Wong doesn’t have a track record of diving into hot-button issues head first.

But that changed on Friday, when the Richmond MP invited Asian media out to a local restaurant as she sampled some shark fin soup. Clearly, inviting only Chinese media to the

gathering won’t win her any extra votes during the next election. But beyond the optics is what’s lining up to be an interesting next few months as Richmond city council mulls its next move. Wong said Ottawa has no intention of outlawing shark fins, noting that it’s already illegal in Canada to remove shark fins and then

in Canada that require importers to prove that what they’ve bringing in is legally, and more importantly ethically, caught. What’s also fascinating is that lining up as one of the voices against Wong is Richmond councillor Chak Au. Despite being new on council, he’s earned the reputation of being unafraid to speak his mind,

rock the boat, and do the unpopular if he believes it’s in the best interests of the community. Au, who has been calling for calm in the heated shark fin debate, points the finger squarely at Ottawa, while Wong is saying that Ottawa will continue to do nothing. It will be fun to see if this Au versus Wong clash develops further.

Here comes the rain again out on the front lawn.

toss the shark’s body back into the ocean to die. In essence, Wong is saying that Ottawa is remaining willfully ignorant of the fact that so many shark species are at risk of extinction, and that tens of millions of them are culled annually because of this cruel shark finning practice. Sure, it’s illegal to de-fin sharks, but there’s no rules

Life Lessons

Andrea Phillpotts

t took me a few minutes to realize there was someone

Dressed in her pajamas still, my daughter was on the lawn, barefoot, and standing in the rain with a huge grin spread across her face. Why? She was celebrating the arrival of rain. I totally understood her delight. In fact, what surprised me was that there was another human being in the family that missed the rain as much as I did. We are products of our upbringings and as much as we love sunshine and blue skies, we do miss the rain after long dry spells. Deep inside me are joyful memories about the rain. I recall making

dams from the streams of rainfall that would race through the forest. I remember the excitement of splashing in puddles with gumboots. I cherish the sound of raindrops drumming on the roof as I fall asleep. This past weekend, I went to the Capilano Suspension Bridge during a downpour. Once I got on my yellow rain slicker, the magic of the rainstorm took over. Everything was shiny and slick and alive with raindrops. Rocks glittered from the spray, leaves took on an earthy dark green, and the river raged with power. The forest and my mood were totally transformed.

For as much as we may try to reject it, we live in a rain city. We are people who carry waterproof clothes for half the year, who live with umbrellas permanently in our car trunks, who expect to see green lawns all year through. We are also people who live with frizzy hair, who take off puddly shoes before we enter a house, and who have a hundred different words for rain. We live in a temperate rain forest and although not as steamy and exotic as a tropical rain forest, we encounter the good and bad of rain for much of the year. It is what makes us rich

with water, dense with beautiful trees, and clean with the constant drum of water. This doesn’t mean that I won’t bemoan our liquid sunshine. That too is my birthright as much as desert people complain about the heat. Here comes the rain again. Bring it on. Andrea Phillpotts is a Richmond writer and teacher.

A playground for Gemma Editor: “There are people who wish to leave the world a better place.” One such person is Amanda Bostik and I am honoured to be writing on behalf of a woman who is leading in the creation of a wheelchair accessible playground for vulnerable youngsters. Her darling daughter Gemma deserves a playground which is designed with vulnerability in mind. The gift of her mother’s time, energy and drive will ensure that Richmond becomes home to such a play space so that all vulnerable children in Richmond will know that their community has reached out and touched them. There is a wonderful array of appropriate play equipment available – swings that can accommodate a wheelchair are just one example. Surfacing is equally important for kids in wheelchairs. The ground cover can’t switch from pea gravel to wood chips and back again. Readily accessible parking in close proximity will make for a better experience as well. I have pledged my support to Amanda and her family. I believe the community of Richmond will do the same. Linda Reid Richmond East MLA

What was Alice Wong thinking? Editor: Given MP Alice Wongs’ tacky, offensive display eating the shark fin soup so many fair-minded, just people, organizations, companies and governments object to, I am ashamed she is Richmond’s Member of Parliament. Her blatant show of support for a small clique of selfish, self-serving Chinese businessmen and her Chinese mediaonly, press conference shows me she is uninformed, foolish and ignorant. What was

she thinking? She is an elected official and should address all Canadians not just the Chinese community. This action of hers does not represent the will of the majority and given her previous record on oppressive stances (anti-choice), I doubt she will survive the next election. Cheryl E Ikeda Richmond

MP’s taste for shark’s fin soup riles readers Editor: With the recent coverage of Alice Wong MP and her stand on various issues (Shark fin soup, Kits Coast Guard) I am dis-

gusted with her approach to these issues. She only invites the Asian media to discuss the issue of Shark Fin soup, does she not think

that those outside the Asian community have an opinion. Alice Wong was elected to represent all, within the electoral district.

She appeared to be weak on the issue of the Kits Coast Guard closure. She spoke the party line, like a puppet. Is she so afraid to say

anything, other than what the higher up cabinet ministers and the PM; have told her what to say. Those of us that have opinions, also have memories and we will react accordingly, with our power to vote. My advice to my MP—engage your brain before your vocal chords. Raymond Chan our previous MP at least listened to the voters. Don Watters Richmond Editor: I am truly embarassed that Alice Wong, as a representative of our city, would invite the media to see her eating shark fin soup. Shark fin soup must be banned because of the cruel way which the fins are taken from the sharks. Also the sharks are an endangered species. That alone should be reason enough for anyone on this earth to not encourage such mindless treatment of a creature. Ms. Wong has stated that it is a tradition of their culture. I am shocked that any culture would foster the extinction of an

animal just to satisfy their pleasure of the moment. Also, we must pass a law to forbid the use of shark fins. If it is a tradition in a culture when they come to our country, we can ask these immigrants to leave those traditions behind if they want to be Canadian! Eleanor Hamilton Richmond Editor: It has been reported that our MP Alice Wong recently enjoyed a serving of shark fin soup at a local restaurant and then spoke only to the Asian press (the Englishspeaking press were apparently not invited), thereby offering a blatant, ethnocentric flip of the middle finger to not only those of us who oppose the cruel practice of harvesting shark-fins for food and have different ethnic backgrounds, but also to the critically important principles of freedom-ofthe-press and transparent governance. Can you imagine the reaction we would get from the Asian press if a European-Canadian politician ensured that they

would not be present at a meeting or social event and would be denied the right and opportunity to question an elected public servant? Combine this with the fact that it is highly unlikely that you will be accorded the respect of an acknowledgement or response from Wong to legitimate enquiries regarding senior’s issues (that is her portfolio, isn’t it?) and it seems it would be justifiable to ask to what extent she understands or even cares about the fact that she is supposed to be concerned about, and represent, all of her constituents, not just those who would be most likely to vote for her in the next election. Perhaps it is time to take a closer look at, and ask more questions about, Wong’s perspective of ‘serving’ the public. Would a bowl of Goulash, Minestrone, Vichyssoise, Irish Stew, Borscht, Gazpacho, Miso, or French Onion soup be of any interest Alice? Ray Arnold Richmond

Finding a delicate compromise on shark’s fin menus too commonly include shark’s fin soup, which makes it hard for the average Chinese diner to say no to this controversial delicacy. It’s a vicious circle of perceived demand and ease in consuming something so expensive that is the key problem. Unfortunately, the federal government has clearly expressed no intention of banning shark fin imports. This hampers our Richmond politicians to enact a truly successful bylaw. Given this reality, how do we find a delicate compromise that will stop the bickering and help our community move forward on this issue? I have three ideas to kickstart this discussion: •Encourage Chinese seafood restaurants to remove shark’s fin soup from their set menus. Many Chinese customers would be relieved because we want a good dinner feast, but are stuck with that “mandatory”

shark’s fin soup on the set menu, which jacks up the overall price considerably. As for those who are absolutely adamant about that bowl of shark’s fin, the restaurants can charge a significant premium for it à la carte, like an additional $200 or more per tureen, due to “their support for environmental preservation.”The advantages are clear. The restaurants would make an exorbitant profit plus have a good corporate image. The stubborn shark fin eater can still enjoy this legally imported delicacy. We regular Chinese folks can proudly say we don’t eat shark’s fin soup anymore because we want to preserve the world’s endangered shark population. And the local consumption of shark’s fin would decrease substantially. It’s a win-winwin-win solution. •Mandate Chinese seafood restaurants to clearly display a disclaimer warning that shark’s fin

is loaded with neurotoxins that are linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, as recent studies have shown. Local sushi restaurants already use disclaimers to warn their clients about eating raw oysters. •Have a well-publicized campaign that encourages Chinese seafood restaurants to design equally luxurious, “made-in-B.C.” dishes that properly replace the ubiquitous shark’s fin soup on the banquet menu. Our Chinese chefs rival the best in the world and we should challenge them to come up with innovative dishes that better signify our modern Chinese-Canadian values regarding wealth, health, and great tasting food. Let’s keep on searching for viable solutions that bring our diverse local community back together again. Rhea Se Richmond

Editor: I find it really disappointing that the shark’s fin debate is polarizing our community to extremes. Why don’t we stop the fiery rhetoric and try to find some practical compromises instead? To David Chung and the Chinese restaurateurs that he represents: Although you got our local MP Alice Wong to slurp shark’s fin soup in front of the media, you still have a public relations disaster on your hands. Your hardline stance in favour of Chinese people’s legal right to eat shark’s fin is getting bad press and alienating potential customers. This is never a good business practice. It also makes Chinese people as a whole look really bad. To the non-Chinese “environmentalists”: Please stop berating Chinese people for eating shark’s fin. Based on your arguments, it’s clear that you don’t know the psychology and nuances behind our consumption of this controversial delicacy. Here’s the “psychology”: At Chinese weddings and banquet functions, the hosting family often feels obligated to choose a set menu that includes shark’s fin due to fear of being perceived as cheap by their invited guests, especially the “gossipy” elders who expect this traditional luxury dish. The invited banquet guests may actually feel indifferent to shark’s fin. We might appear to enjoy bland bits of cartilage laced with toxins that are hard to digest. However, the “joy” is in eating such an expensive ingredient. It’s generally impolite, even disrespectful to reject a bowl of flavourless shark’s fin submerged in tasty chicken broth that is offered by your gracious host and served smack in front of you. The Chinese seafood restaurants want to attract more customers, so the current trend is have shark’s fin soup not just on wedding and birthday set menus, but also for everyday set menus. Because these set meals include this luxury dish but are priced affordably, many Chinese customers like ordering these deals. My point is that typically a) we like the idea of eating something very expensive—I suppose it’s only human nature, b) we feel pressured to order something so expensive for our banquet guests, and c) the Chinese seafood restaurants’ set

Pippa Mackie plays the dog Sylvia while Mike Stack is her new owner—at least for now.

Gateway Theatre mounts one doggone good play Sylvia offers her canine love to married middleager in bid to avoid pound by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

eflex is called upon when a spouse asks, rather demands, to “smell” something. Especially a dog.

And in the stage play Sylvia, Greg has taken leave of relationship rules. “I don’t want to smell her,” says his longtime wife Kate. Says Greg: “No really. She smells great.” “She smells like an airplane bathroom,” says Kate, ending this round of a two-act bout between the couple when a Labradoodle named Sylvia starts dragging

her bum across their living room carpet. Since the dog is played by a human and comes with all the attributes of a child, staging A.R. Gurney’s 1995 romantic-comedy carries certain risk. But Gateway Theatre has brought on a cast and crew that, doggone it, pull it off nicely. Sylvia gives us Greg, a disgruntled, middle-aged man stuck in a lifeless marriage. One day he returns to his apartment with a dog. He insists on keeping it but wife Kate doesn’t. Sylvia is fulfilling an emotional need for Greg while stealing a husband Kate seems to have lost long before. The set nicely puts the audience inside a Manhattan apartment so tidy it’s clear these two are empty-nesters. With the lights of the apartment dimmed, we’re transported to a big city street or dog park. It’s at the park where we meet fellow dog-owner and part-time paperback psychologist Tom, hilariously played by Daniel Arnold. The versatile actor sparkles equally as Kate’s old pal Phyllis

That bitch nearly destroyed my marriage. www.gatewaytheatre.com

and the androgynous therapist Leslie. Keeping this show on a leash is Pippa Mackie as Sylvia. Playing a dog with some very human qualities is harder than it looks, and Mackie makes it look real good, showing a knack for physical comedy and busting guts with her “barks.” Mike Stack and Lisa Bunting do well playing a couple in a lacklustre relationship—almost too well. It was hard to root for a couple with nary a glimpse of the love they once had. There are some funny lines here and enough substance to question one’s own life and relationships. You may never look at a labradoodle the same way.

oo often the phrase “ecofriendly fashion” calls to mind visions of scratchy hemp tunics and hippie tie-dyed tees. It’s a perception the sustainable fashion

industry is reinventing by showcasing aesthetically appealing, comfortable clothes — pieces you’d actually want to wear regularly. Since we’re

in the midst of Eco Fashion Week, I take a look at local ecofriendly designers and talk to the founder of the event about the importance of environmentallyresponsible clothing. Since 2009, Eco Fashion Week has presented the collections of Canadian sustainable designers. Myriam Laroche, the president and founder of Eco

Fashion Week, says the event helps generate attention in finding a balance between the environment and the fashion industry. “The manufacturing of clothes, as it is right now, is in a very unhealthy space,” says Laroche. “We need to find solutions — eco, ethical, responsible or smart clothing offers solutions. It’s illegal to be naked, so we will continue to create apparel. We just need to do it the healthy way.” For a brand to be considered ecofriendly, Laroche says there are a variety of factors that come into play. “At every step of the product development cycle, there is a choice

to be made that will be less damaging to humans and the Earth,” she says. “Materials can be organic, recycled, upcycled. We look at the amount of wastage; chemicals in dyes, treatments, finishing; energy consumption; carbon footprint from creation to the consumer; packaging.” While it may be difficult to decipher which garments are designed sustainably without first doing research on the brand, there are some key terms to look out for when shopping for eco-friendly clothing. Labels marked with third-party certifications such as the Global Organic Textile Standard

Wednesday, October 17, 2012 Though buying sustainable clothing may not be for everyone, it’s definitely something to think about when shopping. Buying locally helps limits your environmental footprint in addition to boosting the local economy. And for us living in Metro Vancouver, shopping eco-friendly is made all the more easier with the abundance of eco-designers nearby. Laroche believes our landscape also helps us appreciate environmentallyconscious fashion more so than other cities. “I think that being surrounded by nature

has a big impact on Vancouverites’ lifestyle,” Laroche says. “It’s a slower pace here where people take the time to be responsible. Also, the City wants to be the greenest city in the world by 2020 — I’m sure the citizens are motivated to reach that goal as well.” Eco Fashion Week runs until Oct. 19. Celia Leung is editor of Coco & Rico, a Vancouver based magazine focusing on local fashion, beauty and arts. She writes monthly on style and fashion in The Richmond Review.

Hormonal Breakouts?

Not Just a Teenage Problem! So much easier being a girl…

Hormonal breakouts affect many teenagers today. But teenagers are not the only ones; acne can strike adults too - more than half of all adult women and about a quarter of adult men.

Like most people, I too, struggle with acne… One problem I have particularly struggled with has been my jaw line and back… That’s when EstroSense entered my life and changed it for the better…After the first 3 months, my back and jaw breakouts have diminished significantly. On top of it, virtually all my PMS symptoms have almost disappeared…it’s so much easier being a girl now. Beauty Blogger Ellie S.

Many women will typically see breakouts during their menstrual cycle due to hormonal fluctuations. Estrogen dominance due to hormone replacement therapy, the birth control pill, xenoestrogens from the environment (BPA, phthalates, parabens) or a sluggish liver can also contribute to hormonal breakouts.

EstroSense is a unique natural formula that helps maintain healthy hormone balance by supporting the liver and in turn, healthy skin.

Afghan food rides into town

365 Days of Dining Lindsay Anderson

few weeks ago I spotted a restaurant called Afghan Chopan. I was confused and annoyed at myself. How had I managed to miss an Afghan restaurant in Richmond?

The answer is that it has only been there a month. Less than that, actually, so I’m not as unobservant as I thought. It’s the second Afghan Chopan in the Lower Mainland; the first is a fullsize restaurant in Surrey, and this tiny new shopfront is just getting going. They’re busy, busy, busy. A husband and wife cook the food and run a bakery that distributes bread to stores. Our server was the owner’s cousin, who’s visiting from California and decided to lend a hand. What a good relative! The shop serves traditional Afghan food, and since I’ve never really had this cuisine before, I was thrilled at the chance to learn about it. Dana, Heather and I ate there Monday night, squeezing ourselves into one of three tables at the front. My advice: get takeout. They’re really more setup for that. To drink, we asked to try the milk tea (chai) and “dough,” which, despite the name, has nothing to do with bread. It’s a yogurt-based drink with cucumber, salt, and some dried mint. Dairy, especially yogurt, figures predominantly in Afghan cuisine. It tasted like a watered

down version of raita, which doesn’t sound particularly appetizing, but was refreshing. It’s traditionally consumed in the summertime, and I imagine the salt in it would help replace what the body loses through sweating. The chai wasn’t spicy, but strong and milky. Our server brought a bowl of sugar in case we’d like to sweeten it, but it was unnecessary. I loved it on its own. For an appetizer, we ordered the mantu, which is a dish with several volumes-worth of history behind it. Centuries ago, the region that’s now Afghanistan sat right in the middle of countless trading routes, and as empires traded (and lands were conquered), their goods, spices, and cultures impacted others across the continent. Of course, that’s a very abbreviated explanation for why there are versions of steamed dumplings in China (mantou), Afghanistan (mantu), and everywhere in between. See Page 18

horsemen in Central Asia, who carried frozen meat-filled dumplings as they rode, then cooked them over their campfires at night. Today, mantu are one of the most popular dishes in Afghan cuisine, and

we got to try them last night. At Afghan Chopan, their mantu are described as “steamed dough filled with fresh ground beef, onions and spices topped with special sauce.” We

INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN PROJECT DEFINITION CONSULTATION Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project October 22 – November 30, 2012 Port Metro Vancouver is conducting Project Definition Consultation regarding the proposed Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project. As part of this consultation, Port Metro Vancouver will present information regarding the conceptual project design, and will seek input regarding elements of the project related to refining the design and developing environmental mitigation plans. The Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project is a proposed new multi-berth container terminal at Roberts Bank in Delta, BC that could provide 2.4 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) of container capacity. The project is part of Port Metro Vancouver’s Container Capacity Improvement Program, a long-term strategy to deliver projects to meet anticipated growth in demand for container capacity to 2030. You can provide feedback and learn more about the project by: • Attending a multi-stakeholder meeting or open house (see schedule below) • Reading consultation materials and providing feedback online (consultation materials and an online feedback form will be available at www.portmetrovancouver.com/RBT2 on October 22, 2012) • Calling 604.665.9337 • Providing a written submission through: • Fax: 1.866.284.4271 • Email: container.improvement@portmetrovancouver.com • Mail: Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project, 100 The Pointe, 999 Canada Place, Vancouver, BC V6C 3T4

ordered the appetizer version (3 pieces for $3.49) and really enjoyed them. There were a lot of comments like “these are similar to perogies/wontons/ravioli,” and we soaked up the tomato and yogurt sauces with the naan bread. It was whole wheat,

topped with sesame seeds, and firmer than Indian naan. It was quite plain to eat on its own (there wasn’t much salt in the dough) but was good when eaten with everything else. For mains, we had the Assorted Kebab ($11.95), and Ashak dinner ($9.95).

Kebabs are a very popular food in Afghanistan, and nearly every combo on this menu included them. The kebabs that came with our meal were chicken, shami, and tekka, and were served with salad, naan, and a yogurt + herb chutney. The chicken was fiery

red with spices, and tasty. The shami kebab was a mixture of ground beef with onions, garlic, chili peppers, herbs, and spices formed onto a skewer and charbroiled. It was good, though my favourite of the three was the tekka (beef ), which consisted of chunks of marinated top beef tenderloin. They were incredibly flavourful, tender, and I could have easily eaten a whole one to myself. The salad was mainly just some torn iceberg lettuce, but the yogurt chutney was vibrant with herbs and we dipped every last piece of meat in it. The plate of ashal dumplings looked just like the mantu —whoops! A bit of a misorder there, but we obviously couldn’t get enough dumplings. These ones, folded in half-moons, were filled with leek and coriander and topped with yogurt, dried mint, ground beef, and tomato sauce. They had a very different, spicier flavour from the mantu, and were perfectly cooked—the dumplings wrapper still had bite to them. I didn’t really like that they used frozen carrots and peas in the tomato sauce. I know it’s their first month and they’re wildly busy, but frozen carrots don’t taste like real carrots! Close to the end of our meal, they sent out a complimentary plate of stewed eggplant. They couldn’t have known I was the 365 blogger, because I didn’t even see the owners and our server was visiting from California; this was just a nice, ‘we’re newly opened and appreciate your business’ act of hospitality. Little gestures like this do so much to make you feel welcome, and the eggplant was amazing! I don’t know if it’s on the menu, but request it when you go! If you’re in the mood for something different (unless, of course, this cuisine is already familiar to you), then I’d recommend Afghan Chopan. Get takeout, and go cozy up on the couch with some mantu, bread, and grilled meat. You don’t have to worry so much about the history behind it – just know we’re lucky enough to have had these culinary traditions carried all the way to Richmond! •Afghan Chopan, 6652 No. 3 Rd.

From Page 19 “I cast my net a little wider…and all of a sudden I found these names,” he said. Each soldier was honoured with a wreath in the ceremony, held in accordance with policy of the Royal Canadian Legion and the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans of Canada. McBride believes other names could be added to the local cenotaph in the future, noting he had submitted seven other names to the city for consideration. Many relatives of McBride fought in global conflicts, and the Richmond resident and historian believes it’s important to remember the lives of those who gave so much. “I’m an advocate of the old phrase, if you don’t learn from history you’re doomed to repeat it. The debt that we owe can never be repaid. But within our societies if there’s some effort to remember, then there might be some justice in it.”

sports Seafair’s annual pre-season classic attracts 56 teams from Atom to Midget by Don Fennell Sports Editor Each year, Ken Hamaguchi and an extensive team of volunteers, including registrar Tina O’Connor, put their collective energy into organizing an annual pre-season minor hockey tournament. The venture is challenging at the best of times, with last week’s 2012 Seafair Minor Hockey Association Icebreaker Rep Tournament, co-sponsored by Sandman Hotels, the 10th and by far the biggest with 56 teams from the Atom to Midget divisions. It’s a labour of love that keeps Hamaguchi, the association’s executive director, and his team coming back. But having participants ask to return is an unexpected bonus, adding further credence to the tournament. “I first viewed it as an opportunity to showcase our kids and raise some money for the association,” said Hamaguchi, who proposed the event. Now, it has become one of Seafair’s biggest fundraisers with all the money generated going to help support the rep teams and keeping costs down. This year’s title sponsorship by Sandman will help even more. “They’ve always been a great contributor to our program and getting this sponsorship is very significant,” said Hamaguchi. “They have a strong commitment of giving back to the community, and thanks to this support we are able to keep this year’s entry fees the same as last despite a six per cent in-

crease in ice to play costs.” the Winter Club for the Attracting champion25 out-oftown teams ship. from as far T y l e r Horstmann away as Orscored four egon, the goals and Icebreaker Mattias also greatly Hohlweg benefits and Jordan the local Si two each e c o n o m y. in the final Not only do game for the teams— which inSeafair, with cluding Ethan Strik parents and Vincent Thrum addand siblings KEN HAMAGUCHI ing singles. each average about 50 people—stay in local Koen MacInnes was solid in net. hotels, but they also eat and But it wasn’t individual statistics shop here during the four-day that highlighted the game, but rather the strength of the team event.

them on the same page, which is what we wanted to achieve— to defuse the intensity of the moment and teach them that if you want to achieve a common goal everyone has to work together.” Seafair also won the Bantam A1 final, edging Nanaimo 7-6 by scoring the only goal of a shootout. Goalie Ty Taylor stopped all three shots he faced in the shootout. Seafair also reached the Midget A1 final, losing out 3-2 to North Delta. Seafair defeated Richmond (first in their pool) 2-0 in the semifinals. Kyle Hoffman led Seafair with a goal and assist against North Delta. With its numbers growing by another 10 per cent this year, Seafair is the fastest-growing minor hockey association in the province. Its overall registration now exceeds 700 players. “It’s pretty amazing,” said Hamaguchi. On average, B.C.’s associations have averaged an increase of about two per cent per year over the last several seasons. That’s in contrast to most other provinces where enrollment is declining. Hamaguchi said the increases in B.C. can be partly attribute to the popularity of the NHL Vancouver Canucks, but is confident Seafair’s numbers also reflect a strong commitment to teaching the game at the grassroots level. Vancouver Hockey School’s Derek Popke and Yogi Svejkovsky and ProFormance Goalie Schools’ Rob Fuchs are among the well-known and respected instructors.

Sockeyes retain their winning ways Tired and still minus key personnel, Richmond manages to hold down top spot in junior hockey league by Don Fennell Sports Editor Even when they’re not at their best, the good teams always seem to find a way. The Richmond Sockeyes can include themselves in

that group. Playing their second game in less than four days, and still minus key players including forward Rudi Thorsteinson out due to complications following surgery for ton-

sillitis, the Sockeyes still managed to flex their offensive muscle Sunday in a 7-3 Pacific International Junior Hockey League victory over the Grandview Steelers at Burnaby Winter Club.

“It was one of those games that makes you say, ‘Really?’ I was almost surprised by the outcome because I thought it was one of our worst efforts,” said Sockeyes’ head coach Aaron Wilbur. The game—and Wilbur’s viewpoint—was in sharp contrast to last Thursday’s 3-2 overtime win over the Abbotsford Pilots at Minoru Arenas. Wilbur felt the Sockeyes significantly outplayed the Pilots. They outshot them 48-33 and controlled most of the territorial play, save for a brief spell in the third period. But the Sockeyes were unable to convert even one of their four chances with the man-advantage, and the power play remains a sore point. “The powerplay is awful right now,” said Wilbur. “Familiarity and chemistry on the powerplay is really important and I can’t remember the last time our two units have had the same personnel two games in a row because of injuries.” Add to that the fact the Sockeyes have only had two practices squeezed in between the last five games and it’s surprising the team has fared as well as it has. “We’ve still got lots of things in our game we haven’t been able to practice yet,” said Wilbur. “The biggest challenge has been finding time to slow things down and go over plays. We’ve tried to instill in our guys that if we can get our power play going imagine where we’ll be then.”

Don Fennell photo Richmond Sockeyes’ forward Dean Allison is foiled by Abbotsford Pilots’ goalie Aaron Oakley during Pacific International Junior Hockey League game Thursday at Minoru Arenas. However, Allison had a goal and an assist as the Sockeyes won 3-2 in overtime.

Defence has also been an area of some concern, but Wilbur attributes the pressure his blueliners sometimes find themselves under to the forwards not managing the puck well in the offensive zone and turning it over. “Often times we put our defense in a tough position, giving up the puck when we don’t have to and allowing the opposi-

tion to generate an oddman rush,” he said. “Our team is going to be at a different level when we stop playing ping-pong (with the puck).” But every team always has things to work on, and by and large Wilbur has nothing but praise for

sports Lawrence nets five goals to match Chaos win total Seafair Peewee A3 celebrate winning the Vancouver T-Birds Thanksgiving Cup.

Peewees Islanders win Thanksgiving Cup The Seafair Islanders Peewee A3 hockey team is starting this season the way the majority of the players ended last season as Atoms—on a winning note. The first-year club won all five of its game, including a 5-1 final-game win over Semiahmoo, to earn the Vancou-

ver T-Birds Thanksgiving Cup. “I was surprised how many goals (33) we scored, but the kids played really well,” said head coach Ben Chen. “The transition to Peewee has been interesting, but we were able to get quite a few exhibition games and hold a bunch of practices to help them get

used to playing with each other.” The Islanders are now focusing on tiering-round play which will continue for the next several weeks. Results will determine which of four tiers the teams will play in during the regular season and playoffs. –by Don Fennell

Initially, conditions weren’t too bad. Then came the downpour. But not even a steady rain could dampen the spirits of two Richmond teams squaring off Sunday in the Metro Women’s Soccer League. In the end, the secondyear Chaos pulled away to outscore the first-year Thunder 8-2 and remain undefeated (5-0) in Third Division play. Striker Kelsey Lawrence paced the Chaos with five goals, including two in the first half as the Chaos built up a 3-0 lead. Lawrence’s first was set up by

centre-midfielder Kirstin Sullivan, her second on a give-and-go with fellow striker Asia Robinson, the hat trick goal on a centering pass from fullback Andrea Bertram, the fourth on a through ball from Sullivan, and the fifth on a tap-in following a pass from Robinson. Robinson scored twice for the Chaos, the first on a pass from stopper Alexis Ford and the other on a penalty kick following a hand ball foul. Wing Janessa Murao completed the Chaos scoring with her first goal of the season on a wicked

shot from 25 yards out, set up by midfielder Erin Lee. Despite the lopsided score, the Thunder showed plenty of character by roaring back from the 3-0 halftime deficit with a long shot by Holly Fellow that took a strange hop and bounced over Chaos relief keeper Jenny Lyons, who shared the duties with Julia Badock. Fellows was set up on a nifty pass from Tegan Rodriquez. The Thunder later converted a corner kick as Jenny Cameron tapped in a shot at the goal line.

PETS

OF PET THE WEEK

“DALI” NEEDS A GOOD HOME WITH YOU!

“SHELDON”, ID # 276727, NM, DOBERMAN MIX, 4 MONTHS 3 WEEKS (APPROX) Sheldon came to the Richmond SPCA from Chilliwack with his brothers and sister, the rest of the Big Bang Theory gang. Unfortunately they had a bit of a rough start to life but their optimism, gentle, and sweet natures has inspired everyone they meet! Sheldon is a very friendly boy, who loves people and is always looking to get some cuddles and playtime but is still quite timid. He is looking for an active home that understands how important it will be to continue socialization and have lots of interactions with people and other pets as he matures. Dobermans are sensitive, intelligent dogs, and like all dogs, need consistency, force-free training. We highly recommend enrolling him in a positive reinforcement puppy socialization class with a professional. The breed can be vocal and Sheldon would love to have have access to a medium to large backyard where he can run off a bit of his energy. If you live in an apartment or townhouse, Sheldon will require plenty of supervised outdoor time. These dogs will excel in dog sports like Nosework or Tracking - adopters of working breeds are encouraged to look into such classes as it will give these active dogs a good outlet for their natural instincts and prevent frustration while boosting confidence.

Gateway’s gone to the dogs

Around Town Amanda Oye

n impossible glimpse into a dog’s life brought tears of laughter to the opening night audience of Gateway Theatre’s production of Sylvia, which kicked off their new season last Friday night.

“It went great,” said Johnna Wright, the director of the play. “I was really proud of the actors,” she said. Sylvia tells the story of a middle-aged

man, his marriage and the relationship he has with his dog Sylvia, who is played by a human and who speaks her mind. “We get to see what the dog thinks and says,” Wright said. “There’s something for everyone but for dog lovers there is something special there,” she said. The connection dog owners have to the storyline made it the perfect choice to open Gateway’s new season. “People are crazy about their dogs in Richmond,” said Simon Johnston, the artistic director emeritus at Gateway Theatre. “I thought that this would connect with it,” he said. Following the show the audience had a chance enjoy food and drinks and to meet the evening’s four
