1,000 pound pumpkin tips the scales

Steveston secondary site sale stalled Offer taken off the table prior to subject removal

Dave Chan says switch to organics allowed his pumpkins to mushroom

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Sept. 30 was supposed to be a day of celebration for the Richmond School District. On that day, the subjects were supposed to be removed from Polygon’s offer to purchase the former Steveston Secondary School site on No. 2 Road. Plans were in place to call a press conference to mark the occasion. But it turns out, the deal was pulled off the table by Polygon, and the subjects to the multi-million dollar deal were not removed, according to Richmond Board of Education chair Donna Sargent. That was two Mondays ago, but hope isn’t lost, Sargent said. The two sides are currently in negotiations, with an answer expected by the next board meeting, on Monday, Oct. 21. The deal was in jeopardy and still is, Sargent said, who added that she remains “very hopeful.” Asking if city rezoning was at the heart of the problem, Sargent said rezoning was not the hurdle. But she was reluctant to disclose too much about the issue, out of respect for the ongoing discussions. She also wouldn’t disclose the financial terms of the deal, or what precisely will be built on the site. A spokesperson from Polygon could not be reached for comment by The Review’s press time Tuesday.

Richmond’s Dave Chan hasn’t gotten to the point of naming his pumpkins, referring to them only as his babies. Last weekend, all three of his babies came out winners, including at the giant-pumpkin contest at Aldor Acres in Langley, with the biggest of the bunch tipping the scales at 1,043 pounds and earning firstplace. A first-time winner, Chan said his previously largest pumpkin was just 848 pounds. The secret behind the 200-pound improvement? Organics, obviously. Chan previous used off-the-shelf inorganic fertilizers to feed his Atlantic Giant variety of pumpkin, first developed by Canadian Howard Dill some four decades ago. “From there, the whole hobby has mushroomed,” Chan said. This year, he “threw more money at it,” he said, using soil analysis to determine what was deficient in his pumpkin patch at his Fedoruk Road home.

Apartments to spring up around future Walmart Polygon is preparing to build 547 apartments across from SmartCentres shopping mall by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter The road to Walmart is about to get more crowded. Polygon is moving ahead with plans to build an apartment complex with 547 homes on Alexandra Road, across from the proposed SmartCentres retail mall. A development permit panel will consider the application for Alexandra Court, from Polygon Development 269 Ltd., today (Wednesday) at Richmond City Hall. “The proposal responds well to creating a strong, streetoriented building frontage character and the continued development of the pedestrian Alexandra Way corridor through the neighbourhood,” noted planned David Johnson in a report.

Polygon is seeking a development permit for Alexandra Court, which would be located across from a proposed Walmart mall.

Four buildings, each with five to six storeys, along with a separate amenity building, would cover a one-level parkade on the 2.5-hectare (6.2-acre) development site near Garden City Road. City council approved rezoning of the site earlier this

Guinness World Record officially set at Richmond Maritime Festival The world’s authority on recordbreaking achievement has officially confirmed a singing relay at the Richmond Maritime Festival this past summer set a new record. Guinness World Records recently made the confirmation after 180 participants gathered at Britannia Shipyards to sing “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” setting a record for “Most people in a nursery rhyme singing relay.” In a City of Richmond news release Friday, Mayor Malcolm Brodie touted the achievement as “another great example highlighting Richmond on the international stage.” “Each participant, along with everyone in our community, should be proud of this record-breaking achievement. We can now proudly say we are part of an elite group of Guinness World Records title holders.” On Aug. 9, each participant involved in the record-breaking rhyme recital sang just one word of the song. After a few practice rounds, the singers completed the task without any missteps and on tempo, beating the previous record of 154 participants. According to the city, an official Guinness World Records certificate confirming the record is now on its way to the city.

year. Two residents complained over the growing density of the Alexandra neighbourhood, but the project is within the projected population targets under the West Cambie Area Plan. Approved by council in 2006, the area plan paved the

way for significant change in the neighbourhood, bounded by Cambie Road, Garden City Road, Alderbridge Way and No. 4 Road. Other apartment buildings—either already complete or in process—will surround Polygon’s Alexan-

dra Court—except to the south, where SmartCentres is proposing a $150-million Walmart-anchored shopping mall. City council’s planning committee endorsed first reading of the mall in a 4-1 vote Oct. 8. Couns. Bill Mc-

Nulty, Evelina Halsey-Brandt, Chak Au and Linda Barnes voted in favour; Coun. Harold Steves voted against. Council was set to take a formal vote on the file Tuesday night. If approved, the proposal would go to a public hearing Nov. 18.

Organics the secret to 1,043-pound pumpkin

Ted Newell photo Richmond resident Dave Chan’s 1,043-pound pumpkin is an attention getter.

From Page 1 So Chan added whatever the soil analysis showed was deficient, using organics such as potash. The results speak for themselves. Chan’s wife entered the smallest pumpkin, at

839 pounds, and won third in Langley. Chan also entered the weigh-off at Nanaimo’s VIEX Fairground with his 988 behemoth, and finished third. The winning entry there weighed more than 1,400 pounds, but because the Nanaimo contest

isn’t internationally-sanctioned and recognized, Chan’s entry in Richmond is considered the province’s biggest. Incidentally, the world’s largest pumpkin registered in at more than 2,000 pounds at a contest in California.

by Jeff Nagel Black Press A proposal by Port Alberni to act as a shipping hub for both Metro Vancouver and Seattle is being pitched as a way to get trucks off the road by

sending containers up the Fraser River by barge. The concept is that a $1-billion 300-acre container handling terminal would be built along the inlet at Port Alberni, where containers would be offloaded, organized

days of extra sailing normally spent visiting other terminals, says Alberni Port manager Zoran Knezevic. Virtually no containers now go up the Fraser River but Knezevic said barges could readily reach the distribution centres of Walmart, Canadian Tire, Home Depot and most other major retailers that are dotted along the river in Richmond, Delta, Surrey and Coquitlam. That would reduce the amount of trucking now required to haul containers to those centres from either Burrard Inlet or Deltaport. “It’s a much more efficient, environmentally friendly and cost-effective way to move containers,” said Knezevic, who presented the idea Wednesday to Metro Vancouver directors. He said the use of the river as a“natural highway” could reduce the one million containers that now moved by truck in the Lower Mainland each year, congesting the roads. The concept is still in the preliminary stages and no detailed business case has been prepared. But Knezevic said it has run into early skepticism and concern from Port Metro Vancouver officials, who fear port expansion opponents will seize on it as evidence their huge Terminal 2 container expansion proposal at Deltaport is unnecessary. “It’s not competitive, we’re not going to rob anybody,” Knezevic said. “We are looking at doubling the number of containers coming through Port Metro Vancouver so I think they could easily complement each other.” Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said the Alberni proposal is interesting because smaller barges can readily send goods up the river without removing the Massey Tunnel and attempting to dredge the channel deeper for big ships. “This offers a possible opportunity to restructure the requirements we have in the Lower Mainland where we have congested roads, very high cost of land and a $3-billion project to take away the George Massey tunnel and build a bridge,” Brodie said. Peter Xotta, Port Metro Vancouver’s vice-president of planning and operations, also told Metro directors the port will need to explore alternative methods of moving containers, and Port Alberni’s proposal may be part of the solution.

TransLink’s return to natural gas buses criticized Choice defended as cheaper, technology improved by Jeff Nagel Black Press TransLink plans to buy more compressed natural gas (CNG) buses that it shunned for years and Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan is questioning whether the reversal is politically motivated. The transportation authority has more than 50 CNG buses, some dating back to the 1990s, but it rejected new purchases for years after concluding they weren’t cost-effective due to high maintenance costs and other problems. In the mid-2000s, the then-elected TransLink board wavered several times on which fuel type of bus to buy while being heavily lobbied by dueling industry groups. Corrigan wonders if the private unelected board has embraced CNG to please the provincial government as it promotes natural gas exports as a key to B.C.’s future. “Is this about politics, about provincial government pressure to ensure that natural gas buses are here because we market so much natural gas worldwide?” he asked at a Metro Vancouver meeting Oct. 9. TransLink executive vice-president Bob Paddon said the decision to buy 54 new natural gas buses, using federal gas tax funds, was a staff recommendation, endorsed by the board, not a decision forced down from the board. He said early CNG buses were “very problematic” but the technology has improved dramatically and the much lower price of natural gas today has made it very attractive. “Right now our assessment is the CNGs are a good replacement rather than purchasing new clean diesels.” Paddon, who chairs the Canadian Urban Transit Association, said several other transit agencies are now looking at CNG. “There’s just a much stronger business case than it was 10 years ago,”

he said. A 2012 efficiency review of TransLink also recommended it expand the CNG fleet in light of better life cycle costs. Replacing old diesel buses with compressed natural gas will cut particulate and nitrogen oxide emissions by 90 per cent and greenhouse gas emissions by 15 per cent, according to TransLink. TransLink also plans over the next three years to buy dozens more

diesel-electric hybrids, which Paddon said are ideal in urban traffic where electric trolleys can’t run. He noted regular diesels are still also needed for some routes because the advantages of electric hybrids are lost on long highway runs. All-electric non-trolley buses are also on the horizon, Paddon said, likely available in as little as three to five years. TransLink can only re-

fuel natural gas buses at its Port Coquitlam bus depot, but that capability may be extended to depots in Surrey and Richmond. BC Ferries is also moving to power some of its ferries by natural gas. Corrigan contends that running a wide range of buses of different fuel types drives up costs, making CNG an unwise experiment in light of the past problems.

Critics across the country have recognized Eric for his “wonderful use … of all manner of media to create a world that’s visually dazzling as it is emotionally uplifting” (Stephen Hunt, Calgary Herald), and his award-winning productions have garnered him a cult following across Canada. Simply put: Eric Rose reigns in Canada as the king of lo-tech hi-ﬁ theatrical presentations. With his upcoming show playing at Gateway Theatre The Highest Step in the World will be the ﬁrst time Richmond audiences get to experience Eric’s visionary work and his unique approach to storytelling.

Through a process called Devised Theatre, Eric’s plays don’t begin with a traditional script, instead, they are collaboratively created with a group of artists. In Highest Step, David van Belle and Eric Rose researched historical events involving ﬂight and falling and built theatrical visuals instead of writing a script. As the director, Eric then orchestrated the elements they created: envisioning possibilities, offering new ideas, and ensuring that, ultimately, the story impacts the audience. That passion for captivating audiences through masterful storytelling is what separates spectacular theatre from circuses on stage. It is also what makes Eric Rose one of the best directors you’ve never met (yet).

Port urged to extend its hours of operation so trucks can haul at night From Page 4 Xotta noted terminals in Metro Vancouver have the advantage of rail access that brings containers loaded with forest products or grain, which then end up empty and perfectly positioned to take retail goods. “We need to think about what’s getting back into that container to go the other way.” Area mayors want the port to do more to extend their hours of operation, so trucks could haul more containers at night instead of clogging roads during commuting hours. “Port Metro Vancouver is very directly and aggressively attacking this issue,” Xotta said. He cited the construction of multiple overpasses that are reducing congestion at railway level crossings. Xotta said some night offloads do happen from port terminals but it tends not to be done with enough advance notice for destination warehouses to be open to receive at night. He said the Terminal 2 proposal also allows for short-sea shipping options, but he confirmed the

unday’s celebration of mass at St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican with the charismatic and humble Pope Francis was the perfect ending for my family’s three-week European vacation.

My friends and family will tell you that I don’t preach about my faith, so I won’t start now. But Pope Francis’s homily was so simple and elegant, his message so clear and concise, that I felt moved to share it with locals. Pope Francis said that the secret to having a happy family comes with the use of a few simple words: “Please”, “Thank you” and “I’m Sorry.” “If families can say these three things, they will be fine...How often do we say thank you in our families? How often do we say thank you to those who help us, those close to us, those at

our side throughout life? All too often we take everything for granted,” Pope Francis is quoted as saying in the National Catholic Register. Words to live by, certainly. So on Tuesday afternoon, while having home at lunch, I got my first opportunity to use Pope Francis’s message. In the kitchen, as my wife

worked on prepping lunch for me and my boys, I was cleaning up the counter, and threw away what I thought was weeks-old leftovers from the fridge. Turned out, it was leftovers from the night before, and neither my wife or eldest son, who was planning to finish off his bowl of tasty noodles, were happy with my mistake.

I got my back up, and defended my actions by saying I was well-intentioned, trying to clean up after all. But as I stewed in front of the computer while scarfing down a sandwich and clam chowder, I remembered Pope Francis’s words. So, before I left, I swallowed deeply, and said: “Please accept my apology for screwing up lunch,

thank you for making lunch, and I’m sorry that I threw your lunch away.” Instantly, my eldest son and wife came up to me, and we did a group hug. Instead of leaving a house full of upset occupants, we all had smiles on our faces and love in our hearts. It doesn’t get any better than that.

s the B.C. Teachers’ Federation executive moseys back to the bargaining table after a summer off, I’m reminded of former education minister George Abbott’s thoughts on his time trying to establish a civil discussion with the province’s most militant union.

It started with a lecture. “In my first meeting with the BCTF, and I gather this is characteristic of all first meetings with education

ministers, the TF advises that yes, they are a union, but first and foremost they are social activists and agents of social change,” Abbott recalled. Their buzzword is “social justice,” which is portrayed by leftists as superior to plain old justice, in ways that are seldom defined. So what exactly are the goals of this “social change”? Here’s some of what I’ve gleaned. Parents may recall the 2008 introduction of an elective high school course called Social Justice 12. This was mainly the result of intense protest by a couple of gay activist teachers, and the ministry curriculum describes its emphasis on inclusion of racial, cultural and sexual differences. That’s all good, and it’s now bolstered by urgently needed anti-bullying and empathy efforts at all grades. Then there is the BCTF version. It’s not just a battle against “racism, homophobia and sexism” but also “poverty and globalization.” The BCTF has a quarterly

“Social Justice Newsletter” filled with predictable economic assumptions. Readers of the latest issue are reminded at length that the United Nations takes a dim view of Canada’s record on human rights, including a right to housing. Undefined “poverty” statistics are cited, although Statistics Canada has nothing but incomplete relative measures. One article describes a social justice club for Grade 2 and 3 students, with activities that include collecting food bank donations and “writing to the premier asking for a systemic plan to address child poverty.” Leaving aside whether eight-year-olds can understand what “systemic” means, this rhetoric is taken directly from the tired old NDP policy book. It rests on the cherished myth that poverty is imposed by right-wing governments that refuse to double the minimum wage and pile more taxes on “the rich.” And what about that

darned “globalization”? The BCTF still has a 2001 teaching guide on its website promoting the claim that Nike is uniquely guilty of making shoes and exercise gear in Third World sweatshops. Teachers are to instruct students how to organize a boycott of Nike, thus passing the received wisdom of campus radicalism to the next generation. This was all debunked years ago. Are Adidas, Reebok, Apple and Microsoft any different? Has nothing changed in 12 years? A quick web search will show this is a stale old tale with a convenient villain, to avoid complex questions. A BCTF official assures me this unit is being updated. Once that one is done, maybe they could check over their teaching unit on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal, another labour of the union’s “social justice” truth team. Entitled “What We Stand To Lose With Pipelines and Supertankers,” it boasts wild-

life photos and “key sources” from the left (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives) to the far-left fringe (Pipe Up Network). It is another protesters’ guide designed around a pre-determined viewpoint. BCTF bosses love to talk about the importance of “critical thinking.”These one-sided caricatures of Nike, Enbridge and other familiar villains seem designed to produce the opposite. They remind me of George Orwell’s classic novel <I>1984</I>, where loyal party members are required to focus on selected enemies in a daily ritual called the Two Minutes Hate. Perhaps this is a clue to why our school system produces so many students lacking in employment skills and bursting with demands for government-imposed wealth redistribution.

More bridges mean more development Perhaps the mayor should consider that we are building our way into congestion from the inside our city, with no plans for a transit strategy move these people around in the city or out of the city. I am sure our mayor is right about the increased congestion that the bridge would incur. It is interesting that at the same time the bridge is being planned, our provincial government is going to review the Agricultural Land Reserve. Could that mean more development along our and Ladner's agricultural corridor if that Act is weakened and the

Editor: Regarding the proposed bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel, our mayor is quoted, “you can't build your way out of congestion, and traffic will merely move into Richmond if a new six-lane bridge is built to replace the tunnel.” In the same Oct. 11 edition of The Richmond Review is a multi-page ad celebrating the Aspac development adjacent to the oval, which “will eventually accommodate over 2000 households.” That means with the other highrises around the oval, at least 5,000 new cars on the road in that small area.

Let’s simply enjoy the snow geese Editor: The snow geese have started arriving again. So please will all those who hunt, spare us their entreaties to have hunting opened up on the West Dyke. We should feel privileged that we have the great good fortune to see these magnificent flocks in our neighbourhood. Furthermore let’s not hear the old excuse that they are ruining the playing fields and turn the dogs loose on them. We have watched these fields all summer and they are green and lush, thanks to the fertilizer which the geese bring with them. So OK, for a few short weeks when they are here they deposit their poop on these fields. But if it doesn’t rain the poop dries to dust and If it does rain, which is much the most likely scenario, the fields turn muddy and it is washed into the ground. What kid wants to play on a muddy wet field at that time of year any way. Let’s not try to sterilize everything we touch or walk on. We all have to eat our “peck of dirt” in order to build up our immune system. Not that we’re suggesting that we should take that literally. So let’s enjoy the birds while they’re here.

Walmart needs a green wall Editor: Re: Walmart deal gets sweetened, Oct. 9. So the developer of the site at Alderbridge Way and Garden City Road is adding “sustainability features” such as four electric vehicle charging stations to the shopping centre. It really is too bad that no one thought to suggest that a genuine benefit would be to add living green walls to

the south side of the complex, facing the Garden City lands. This would mitigate the view issues of the project and could provide avian habitat if the plant materials were thoughtfully chosen. It would speak far more loudly about sustainability than any number of electric charging stations. Marion Smith Richmond

Don’t spoil our precious land Editor: I felt Barbara Allen’s letter regarding the “Walmart deal gets sweetened” was right on! The first time I drove past the IKEA store, I was aghast that such a large building took up so much space. Now Walmart is planning on building a shopping mall! What is Richmond coming to? We need to think beyond spoiling our precious land with more buildings, or creating more jobs. What about encouraging farmers and considering where our food will come from? We have a duty to the earth on which we live. We are like a farmer who inherits from his father a great area of fertile

Public washrooms enhance the city Editor: Recently while walking towards Army & Navy Store in Vancouver to shop, I, a senior from Richmond, needed to use a public washroom and started to look for one. A passer-by told me there is a public washroom at Hastings Street. I went in and was very impressed. It was brightly-lit, clean and looked newly-built. It was a joy to use it and it was

Canada Line workers really saved the day

Ed Gavsie, Gary Collinge, Mercedita (Mercy) Tolenada

Editor: At about 2:45 p.m on Monday, September 30 I was travelling on the Canada Line from Waterfront to Bridgeport Station. As the train left the station on its way to Brighouse I realized that I’d left my bag with course material and other personal information on my seat. The Canada Line “green coat” man at the station phoned ahead to see if my bag had been found. About 20 minutes later another Canada Line employee who identified herself as Armenian returned with my bag which she saw as she was leaving the train at Brighouse Station. What a relief! I just wish I had thought to take their names at the time. So, very many thanks to these two employees—they really saved the day for me. Anne Rogers Richmond

REVIEW

THE NEWS Serving Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows since 1978

Singh, who plays the Steveston Folk Guild tomorrow (Thursday), makes music with a distinct Indian flair that draws on the singer-songwriter and self-taught guitarist’s love for rock music he grew up listening to. The longtime Surrey resident grew up listening to Boston, Meatloaf and Neil Young. It wasn’t until 1984 that he had an interest in Indian music. That’s when a friend took him to a concert in Vancouver to see the famed Indian ghazal singer Jagjit Singh. “That very same day I said, I have to learn more about what this is all about. That’s when I fell in love with Indian music,” he said in an interview with The Richmond Review last year. “Prior to that, I didn’t care for it, I didn’t play it, listen to it or anything.” In the 1980s, Singh performed with Dal Dil Vog (DDV), an awardwinning group known for its bhangra-rock music. Now he plays solo gigs and as part of an ensemble—depending on the venue. For his Oct. 17 Steveston Folk Guild show, Singh will team up with percussionist Greg Stuart. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. in the Chinese Bunkhouse at Britannia Shipyards, 5180 Westwater Dr. Tickets, $8, at the door.

Starting early can reap

Want to get your message to a bigger market? Every small business has a story to tell and The Richmond Review is pleased to offer the “Richmond Review Business Proﬁles” as a proven vehicle for you to advertise your business.

For young adults just starting their life’s journey, planning for retirement might seem a tad premature. But Daniel Wang, financial advisor at The Co-operators, said charting a course toward retirement requires a map, a destination and contingency plans in case the trip gets interrupted.

This powerful marketing opportunity combines editorial content, a consistent advertising program, and full colour to maximize your results.

The advantage of starting retirement planning early is that the investment window is wide open, with decades of time in which investments can grow.

Sitting down with a professional financial advisor enables young

investors to share their dreams and aspirations of what they’d like to do along the way to their eventual retirement. “This is what we do; we educate people,” said Wang. “We sit down and create a financial plan which is also an estate plan.” By getting one’s financial house in order, this can provide peace of mind in the event of a calamity, such as an unexpected illness. While you may survive the illness, the process could leave you in financial ruin.

The Highest Step is quite unlike many plays, proving to new theatregoers and veteran firstnighters that anything is possible when the houselights dim. A Ghost River Theatre Production, the 75-minute, one-act play is inspired by Joseph Kittingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daring 102,800-foot jump from a weather balloon in 1960. Actor van Belle opens the show by telling the audience about Kittinger and his successful jump. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risky to fly, he concludes. With high-flying apparatus, video projections and well-timed audio, van Belle takes us into Kittingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weather balloon, atmosphereswelled hand and all. He also takes us into the world of Vesna VuloviÄ&#x2021;,

Anton de Groot photo Icarus, one of a few characters played by David van Belle, flies over the Gateway Theatre stage.

a Serbian flight attendant who survived a 33,000-foot fall without a parachute. We also hear the story of Icarus from Greek mythology and his attempt to fly with homemade wings. van Belle seamlessly moves between the stories, adding in direct audience addresses to make his point of the awesomeness of space and courage of his characters. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplished in part with perfectlyplaced projections that digitally dress the actor, and a flying rig that lifts

him over the seats and gives us a spectacular sense of falling from space. van Belle gives life to the play, but with multiple character changes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to connect with the deep emotions these high-flyers must have experienced. The Highest Step nonetheless does what good theatre does bestâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;gets people talking.

Stylish Halloween Costumes

Celia Leung Fashion Stylist

here’s only two more weeks left until Halloween, so if you’re a huge fan of the annual celebration chances are you already have your costume picked out and ready to go. But for those of us who are still unsure about what to dress up as, or decide last minute to head to a costume party, here are some stylish ideas that are easy to pull together from pieces that may be available in your wardrobe. For something you’ll only wear once, it’s simpler to avoid spending a fortune and just create a costume from items you already have. Halloween is a great way to express your interest in fashion by emulating chic characters from film and television, or even popular fashion designers. Breaking Bad’s yellow hazmat suits will be popular this Halloween, but for a more stylish costume option dress up as one of the characters from AMC’s other critically acclaimed show, Mad Men. Whether you want to go as Betty, Joan, Peggy or Megan the key is to find a tailored outfit that

Add an art deco headband to your Daisy Buchanan costume. (Source: Etsy.com)

looks inspired from the 1960s. For Betty, go for silhouettes with nipped waists and full skirts. Try printed silk blouses, petticoats, shirtwaist dresses and swing coats. Complete the perfectly polished Betty look with an elegant hairdo and red lipstick. To dress like Joan, wear a figure-hugging dress in a vibrant jewel-toned colour, or a sweater and pencil skirt set. Peggy’s working look went through many changes over the seasons, but you can’t go wrong with a 1960s inspired plaid and pleated skirt suit. As for Megan Draper, the most fashion forward on the show, a mod minidress should be the main part of the costume. Style with a dramatic winged eyeliner and a bouffant. Another fun period costume idea is 1920s attire seen recently in The Great Gatsby and Downton Abbey. To sparkle like Daisy Buchanan don a flapper dress, characterized by drop waists, slinky straps and art deco beading. Top off a short bob hairstyle with an ornate head band. As for Downton Abbey, channel Lady Mary and Lady Edith this Halloween with ankle-grazing empire waist dresses. Accessorize with hats, gloves, pearls and beaded shrugs in luxe fabrics. For a different spin on a Downton Abbey costume dress like one of the staff, such as the head housemaid Anna. Add a white collar to a plain, long-sleeved black dress and tie a long, white lace apron overtop. Finish the look with black tights and a white headpiece for the hair. For fashion designers, Karl Lagerfeld is probably the most notorious and easiest to copy. The head designer for Chanel and Fendi, Lagerfeld’s always poised in a black suit with vest over a tailored white shirt. The accessories are key for his look. Wear fingerless

black leather gloves, a skinny black tie, black sunglasses, a long chain necklace, black belt and loafers. For the pièce de résistance wear a white wig pulled back into a ponytail. If you’re looking for a costume that’s more timeless, reference fashionable cult classic movies such as Clueless, Annie Hall and Breakfast at Tiffany’s. To dress like Cher Horowitz or Dionne Davenport, rock a tartan suit with matching mini skirt. For an alternate look try a plaid mini skirt and a white collared shirt under a sweater vest. Top off the ensembles with knee high socks and a beret. For another fun element, you can even include the Clueless vernacular as part of your costume by inserting the phrases “Whatever!” and “As if!” into your conversations. To get Annie Hall’s

menswear inspired look that is also a huge trend for this season, add an oversized men’s vest and a long skirt or wideleg trousers to your look. Accessorize with a bowler hat, boots and a tie. To dress up like Holly Golightly, Audrey Hepburn’s character from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, all Channel Annie Hall with a mensyou need is wear-inspired tweed blazer.

Not only did, as expected, Seafairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peewee A1 team win the divisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tier 1 title while reflecting its No. 1 provincial ranking (defeating Victoria Racquet Club 5-0 in Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoff final), but the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peewee A2 club also played well enough to garner third place playing up a tier. And its PeeweeA3sâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; playing up in the Tier 2 divisionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;managed to go 2-1 in the roundrobin. Both of Seafairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Atom Division teams looked mighty too, as the A1 Islanders edged Richmond 3-2 in the Tier 1 playoff final and the A2 Islanders blanked Saanich 11-0 in the Tier 2 final. Seafair rode a 3-0 round-robin record to the Tier 1 Bantam final, losing the title game 4-1 to Cowichan, while the midget A1 Islanders also earned tournament honours with a 3-2 shootout victory over Vancouver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe we have a very strong team with balance, and with a great parent group we feel that we can achieve something very special (this season),â&#x20AC;? said Seafair peewee A1 coach Yogi Svejkovsky.

The ‘roots’ of the original AdrenaSense Formula Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need forr an effective adrenal supplement.

From Page 20

“In the past some people might have felt that we were a little undersized, but we feel that with the new additions to our team this season we’ve really improved in that category. We (also) feel that we have a very skilled group and great team speed. Our team has set a goal to make it to the provincials this

season.” Svejkovsky said his focus will be helping the Islanders develop their skills game by game and to be playing their best down the stretch. “As coaches we have a number of new things that we want our players to be exposed to, and then based on mastering that we will be where we need to be,” he said.

The herbs in the AdrenaSense formula are called adaptogens that have been proven to support stress reactions and normalize adrenal function. These include Rhodiola, Suma, Schizandra Berries, Siberian Ginseng and Ashwagandha, which in combination, enhance mental and physical performance; balance the nervous system helping with anxiety and insomnia; support the immune, cardiovascular and hormonal systems; counteract fatigue, anxiety and depression; as well as provide vital energy.

Your Key to Real Estate Success

While most teams are forced at some point to rebuild, the best—like the Richmond Sockeyes—simply reload. A seemingly slow start to the 2013-14 Pacific Junior Hockey League season, during which they won just one of their first four games in regulation time, was largely attributed to 11 first-year players on a team that is coming off a Western Canadian championship. But now six weeks into the season, the Sockeyes still have only dropped a single 60-minute game following a pair of impressive victories over the Delta Ice Hawks 4-2 Thursday at Minoru Arenas and 5-2 over the Grandview Steelers Sunday at Burnaby Winter Club. “We’re getting there,” said Richmond head coach Judd Lambert, whose team is now 5-1-12 on the season. “We’ve still got a lot of things to improve on, but wins are always good. We played two good teams that work hard and we did what we had to do (to be victorious).” Lambert, who returned to the bench after a year’s hiatus, expects the Sockeyes will battle with both the Ice Hawks and Steelers for the Tom Shaw Conference title all season. There’s also a strong likelihood they’ll also face at least one of the teams in the playoffs, he said. “There’s not big gap between any of at least five teams (including Abbotsford Pillots and Aldergrove Kodiaks which sit one-two in the Harold Brittain Conference standings),” Lambert said. The Sockeyes lost one of their top scorers this week when Trevor Stack—who had four points in five games playing alongside defence partner Adam Nishi—decided to give up hockey to pursue other interests. But the team hopes it has added to its overall strength with the acquisition of Jackson Waniek from the Aldergrove

Kodiaks for future considerations. The 17-yearold instantly becomes one of the team’s top scorers with 12 points in his first nine games. The impending return of rookie Carson Rose, who hopes to play this Thursday when the Sockeyes host Aldergrove (7 p.m. at Minoru Arenas), should also bolster the offence. Rose, 17, had two goals in four games when he was sidelined by a separated shoulder.

June Agnes Trent entered eternal life in the early morning of October 8, 2013 peacefully and comfortably at the Salvation Army Rotary Hospice House, Richmond. June was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on May 24, 1925. Predeceased by her husband Arthur Trent. June will be dearly missed by her three children, Ken Rowley (Theresa), Patricia Brady (Murray Safarik) and Glenn Rowley (Bonnie), her only brother Bob Page, six grand children, nine great grand children, her extended family and friends. We were blessed to learn many valuable lessons from June during her 88 years. Among them, a good boogie around the piano is all you’ll need to truly find happiness. June’s love of music touched everyone who knew her. She was a tireless and selfless volunteer for many years and was President of The Richmond Hospital Auxiliary. Her kind words, honesty, love of laughter, family and friends earned her the love and respect of those who had the privilege to know her. As a mother she was a great role model, had an infectious sense of humour and loved us all unconditionally. June’s children and grand children were the pride and joy of her life. The legacy of June’s kind spirit, passion for music, and zest for life will live on through them. We can rest well knowing she is in heaven in comfort and peace. She is playing beautiful music, singing with family and friends. A Celebration of Life will be held Tuesday, October 22, 2013 from 3pm-5pm at Quilchena Golf and Country Club in Richmond. In lieu of flowers, a donation in her memory, may be made to The Salvation Army Rotary Hospice House, 6460 No. 4 Rd, Richmond, B.C. V6Y 2S9.

hat would it take for someone who has traveled to the highest point they can reach to jump—with the intention of surviving the fall?

This notion of taking life and death risks was explored last Friday at the opening night of The Highest Step in the World, the first show of Gateway Theatre’s newest season. “I was looking for something magical,” said Jovanni Sy, Gateway Theatre’s artistic director. The Highest Step, a show created by David van Belle and Eric Rose of Ghost River Theatre, proved to be just what Sy was looking for to kick off the first season he put together for Gateway.

Eileen Barrett, Robyn So and Lisa Bunting.

“It’s about taking risks … that’s what I wanted to do with the first season,” he said. The show, which is not your typical theatre production, uses a mixture of multimedia projections, flying equipment and the talent of one actor to portray three storylines. “It makes demands of the viewer,” Sy said. “The payoff is incredible.

That’s what I love about the show.” Following the performance, there was a reception in the theatre lobby, which was catered by the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel and Anna’s Cake House. Amanda Oye covers the social scene for The Review. Her column appears every Wednesday. amanda.oye@telus.net.
