King County public art co-ordinator to kick off Lulu Series by Katya Slepian Contributor

Don Fennell photo Hundreds were inspired to Workout to Conquer Cancer Saturday at the BC Cancer Agency fitness fundraiser Saturday at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

Workout to Conquer Cancer raises $379,000 Participants pack the Olympic oval for a good cause by Don Fennell Staff Reporter Cancer has no bias. It affects anyone and everyone. This year in B.C., more than 24,000 people will be diagnosed and more than 9,300 will lose their lives to the disease. But, said BC Cancer Agency president and chief executive officer Douglas Nelson, events such as last Saturday’s Workout to Conquer Cancer—which raised $379,000 to power cancer research in the province—are making a difference. “The great part about this is that the research really is work-

ing,” said Nelson. “Discoveries made in the last years are changing the way people are diagnosed and treated and changing survival curves and more often oncologists are sitting with their patients and have courage and confidence to say cure.” Last weekend’s day-long fitness challenge at the Richmond Olympic Oval featured eight different workout sessions for all fitness levels. Men and women from throughout the province tested their strength and stamina during former Canadian Football League great Tommy Europe’s SHRED bootcamp, kick boxed with purpose, and stepped it up Zumba style. Peter Twist, who led the morning warm-up session, shared a personally inspiring story of his own battle with and defeat of cancer.

Perjury trial begins for Taser cop A trial began this week for the RCMP officer who stunned Robert Dziekanski with a Taser the night the Polish immigrant died at Vancouver International Airport. Const. Kwesi Millington is charged with perjury. He and three other RCMP officers confronted the agitated Dziekanski at the airport in 2007. All four officers were charged with perjury following their testimony at a public inquiry. The Crown alleges the officers met privately to concoct a cover story. One of the officers, Const. Bill Bentley, was acquitted last year. The other two have yet to go to trial. Canadian Press is reporting that a previously unknown witness will testify that the four officers met privately before testifying at the public inquiry.

“I had spent five years intuitively, while I felt my very best, feeling that I had cancer.” — Peter Twist At the age of 47, the former Vancouver Canucks’ fitness co-ordinator was at his peak strength as well as spiritually, emotionally and mentally. Everything, he said, seemed aligned. But two weeks after he commented as such, Twist was diagnosed with stage four head and neck cancer—with a tumor a little bigger than a baseball by his brain stem. “I had spent five years intuitively, while I felt my very best, feeling that I had cancer,” he said. “I spoke with many doctors about that, did preliminary tests,

Washroom fire clears McNair by Jacqueline Langen Contributor Matthew McNair Secondary School students were dismissed from class Monday morning, after an apparently intentional fire ignited in one of the school’s washrooms. Richmond RCMP and Richmond Fire-Rescue are still investigating the blaze, which broke out at about 11:30 a.m. “Someone had seemed to light a paper towel dispenser on fire. It looks like it was deliberate,” said Richmond board of education chair Donna Sargent. The fire was extinguished quickly as the school’s sprinkler system activated imme-

diately. However, potential water damage may now affect the walls surrounding the perimeter. Richmond school administrators are currently assessing the damage. No staff or students were injured during the fire, but Sargent was adamant that the repercussions of the situation will not be dealt with mildly. “If this is just a prank, or a joke, there are consequences to this. Students need to be aware that isn’t something that goes lightly,” she said. Richmond police, fire departments and school administrators are still investigating and have yet to release any further details.

all I got back was ‘You’re fitter than a 20-year-old pro athlete. Go out and have some fun.’ “So listen to your body.” Funds raised for Workout to Conquer Cancer support research initiatives, such as the work of Dr. Sam Aparicio. Recently, Aparicio and his colleagues reclassified breast cancer into 10 distinct subtypes and work is underway to improve diagnostic techniques, pinpoint genetic targets and develop more effective treatment options. “Change is happening right now in B.C. But, we can’t do it alone. Research at the BC Cancer Agency is made possible thanks to our partnership with the BC Cancer Foundation and the incredible generosity of people like you,” Aparicio told event participants.

Architect picked for pool project Hughes Condon Marler Architects will design Minoru Park’s new pool, seniors centre and fire hall, Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie announced Monday. The Vancouver-based firm won architectural and engineering service contracts totalling $6.5 million. Its recent designs include the aquatic centre at Hillcrest Park in Vancouver and the Killarney Community Pool in Vancouver. In Richmond the firm designed the Hamilton Community Centre expansion and Fire Hall No. 2 in Steveston. The $79.6-million combined pool and seniors centre building is planned for the area of the Minoru Pavilion. — Matthew Hoekstra

Cath Brunner has spent the past 25 years making the infrastructure around Seattle not only perform well but look beautiful as well and she’s looking to bring that same passion to Richmond when she speaks at City Hall as part of the 2014 Lulu Series. Brunner, director of 4Culture’s public art program in King County, Wash., will deliver a talk in council chambers at Richmond City Hall tomorrow at 7 p.m. It will be preceded by a short spoken CATH BRUNNER word performance by slam poet Johnny MacRae. “I’m focusing my talk on (the benefits of ) art infrastructure,” Brunner says, “having projects like transfer stations, sewage treatment plants and highway infrastructure becoming as much of a community amenity as they are a functioning infrastructure project.” But more than just enhancing the communal aspect of infrastructure project, Brunner also hopes to improve how “green” the city is. “There’s the environmental benefits; artists and design teams working together to promote innovative new types of green infrastructure which will go a long way towards protecting the environmental benefits we enjoy in King Country and that you enjoy in Richmond.” Brunner is also hoping to get the whole family involved. “We’ve done art projects where we’re working with school children, we’re making short films and videos that are shown on public television. A lot of the work that we do with artists is designed to create an opportunity for families to come together and learn something about these issues.” Brunner is the first speaker in the 2014 Lulu Series: Art in the City.

Richmond man gunned down in Coal Harbour A 29-year-old Richmond man was gunned down in Coal Harbour Monday night in what Vancouver Police are describing as a targeted shooting. Around 10:30 p.m., two men were shot as they sat in their car parked on Cordova Street near Thurlow. When police arrived, one man was found in the car, while the other was found a short distance away, and both were rushed to hospital with serious injuries. Richmond’s Tejinder Singh Malli later died in hospital. A 28-year-old North Vancouver man is in hospital in stable condition. “The victims are known to police, are associated to gangs and are connected to the drug trade,” Vancouver Police Sgt. Randy Fincham said. Anyone with information about the shooting, and who hasn’t yet spoken to police, is asked to call Vancouver Police’s Major Crime section at 604-717-2500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Malli’s family home in Richmond was the target of a Dec. 30, 2007 drive-by shooting that saw four bullets pierce the residence— including two into the front door, one that ricocheted before becoming lodged in a refrigerator and another in a living room wall. — Martin van den Hemel

Business alliance to battle MMBC recycling fees Most fees are double what Ontario charges by Jeff Nagel Black Press

Mike Klassen, CFIB.

ver and Walmart control MMBC and are manipulating it to their benefit, not that of local businesses. Most of the fees for container waste are double or even quadruple what businesses in Ontario pay to a similar agency. Newspapers say they face a $14-million-a-year bite out of their operations because of the 20¢ per kilogram they will pay on newsprint, compared to less than half a penny in Ontario. They contend a high proportion of newsprint is already recycled in B.C. through blue boxes. Kvarnstrom said newspapers are considering options to create their

Opponents say multinational consumer goods firms like Walmart control MMBC and are manipulating it to their benefit.

free to develop their own system. Environment Minister Mary Polak said most businesses are exempt from the fees if they have under $1 million of retail sales, generate less than a tonne of material or operate out of a single retail outlet, while generators of one to five tonnes per year pay flat fees of $550 or $1,200. She said property taxpayers will save money because MMBC will now pay for recycling collection that local municipalities previously paid. “The City of Richmond will save $1.5 million a year,” she said.

New recycling costs imposed by Multi Material BC will ultimately hit consumers through hidden fee hikes, critics say. “The public is largely unaware of the money that will come out of their pocket and ultimately go back to manufacturers,” said Corinne Atwood, executive director of the B.C. Bottle and Recycling Depot Association. Unlike existing deposit-refund systems in B.C. on cans or electronics—which are subject to audits and transparent reporting—Atwood said MMBC can do what it wishes with its revenue, without accountability. “It’s a licence to print money,” she said. Atwood has lobbied for years to expand the deposit system to include milk cartons and other containers, from hair

spray canisters to detergent bottles. She argues the refunds offered would ensure a high rate of recycling through depots, as with beverage cans now. “If you put deposits on things initially the consumer would pay a bit more, but the people who bring it back will get their money back,” she said. Instead, she said MMBC’s non-refundable fees on packaging generators will inflate prices with no recourse. “With a hidden fee you don’t know what it is and there’s no opportunity to get that back—then you’re genuinely taking money out of families’ pockets.” Atwood said she believes the government likes the new system because if MMBC fees drive retail prices higher, the province will collect more sales tax. —Jeff Nagel

An alliance of business groups opposed to the new Multi Material BC recycling system are demanding the province halt the planned May 19 launch and go back to the drawing board. MMBC, an industry stewardship group, is poised to take responsibility for curbside blue box collection—with more containers and material types collected than before—while charging businesses for recycling the packaging and paper they generate. It’s in a bitter fight with small business groups that complain they are set to pay punishingly high fees, which will then be passed on to consumers. The battle took a new turn Monday, when the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and eight other associations launched a campaign in B.C. newspapers and online at rethinkitbc.ca to amplify the pressure on Victoria. CFIB provincial affairs director Mike Klassen predicted job losses and some business closures as a result of the MMBC regulations and fees. “This is public policy run amok,” he said. B.C. Agriculture Council vice-chair Stan Vander Waal said farmers can’t readily stop packaging strawberries and blueberries in plastic clamshells, because retailers insist that’s what consumers want. “We have to wear the cost,” he said, adding MMBC fees will cost his Chilliwack farm $60,000 to $100,000 a year. “It goes directly against growing agriculture.” Canadian Newspaper Association chairman Peter Kvarnstrom, who is publisher of a paper in Sechelt, warned the new system will be “catastrophic” to B.C. community and daily newspapers, resulting in job losses in an already challenged industry and reduced service to communities. Opponents say they support the aim of the program—to make generators of packaging pay to recycle it—but they dispute the fees and say multinational consumer goods firms like Unile-

own collection system—a move that could also deprive MMBC of newsprint revenue and undermine the program’s viability. Magazine industry reps also warned small B.C. magazines will pay not only for their own paper recycling, but will also effectively subsidize big U.S. magazines like Harper’s or Vogue that will be exempt from MMBC fees on magazines mailed into B.C. MMBC managing director Allen Langdon said MMBC’s higher fees are because they fully finance the program and ensure service for multi-family apartments and rural depots, in contrast to Ontario’s more limited focus on single-family homes. He said B.C.’s successful container deposit system also means there’s less recyclable material left here for container stewards to collect and sell, so fees have to be higher to cover the system costs. Langdon said no business is forced to join MMBC, adding groups like the newspaper industry are

GUEST SPEAKERS

TOMORROW! Join us for the City of Richmond’s annual series of talks about art in the city and its importance to creating connections between citizens and their communities.

Thursday, March 13 7:00 p.m. Cath Brunner PUBLIC [ART] WORKS

Limited seating. Please RSVP at lulu@ richmond.ca

Visual artists are joining teams that include transportation planners, engineers, scientists and ecologists to create infrastructure that transcends function to become a long-term investment in place-making and unique, multi-purpose community assets. Cath Brunner, Director of 4Culture’s public art program for King County, Washington, will showcase some innovative examples of art where you least expect it, but where it may have the greatest potential to positively impact the public realm and civic dialog. This talk will be preceded by a short performance by spoken word artist, Johnny MacRae.

Preschoolers to learn about the outdoors From Page 1 Parents have been receptive to the idea of the new program, feeling that outdoor activity and environmental education are important developmental aspects not regularly seen in preschools today. “Comparing it to other preschools that my nieces and nephews go to, some of them didn’t get any outdoor time,” said Lisa Kanavaros, a local parent, at the program’s open house last Wednesday. “There’s no motor skill activities, where as this

has a large focus on that,” Dawson and Vera hope the children involved will come away from the program with a love of learning, a passion for the outdoors and a greater sense of community. Amount of time spent outdoors will also help those parents who don’t necessarily have the time to take their kids out during the day. “I’m sure these children will be sleeping better than any other child with all that fresh air, it’s just healthy,” said Angela Lim, president of the Thompson Community

Centre Association. Children ages three to five year are welcome and encouraged to join. Registration begins March 12, 6:30 p.m. at Thompson Community Centre. Program options run Monday through Friday. Visit www. richmond.ca/naturepreschool for more information. “It’s building a curriculum with different materials. I think the end result is still the same, this is a different path and journey to getting to that end result,” Lim said.

Hamilton Elementary School is already full From Page 1 The plan does, however, present a challenge for school officials. Hamilton Elementary School is already full, and Richmond board of education chair Donna Sargent said population growth would boost the school population by over 300 students.

Sargent criticized the city for not identifying potential school sites and deferring the “practical issue of providing for the needed school land and buildings to others.” “Both land and buildings will be required to accommodate the proposed population increase as the

current elementary school is near capacity,”according to Sargent. Growth will lead to a greater need of bussing high school students. It might be necessary to provide a similar service for new elementary students while the district awaits provincial approval for a

new school. “The board of education firmly believes that schools are the hub of any community, and are one of the first amenities that community members seek.” The city’s policy planning manager Terry Crowe told council that staff are aware of the district’s needs. He pledged to work with school officials on the file, but also said the buildout of Hamilton could take up to 25 years.

Staff Reporter Most of the comic books filling tables at Marvel Auctions could be had for a dime—at least in the 1960s. They’re worth more today to collectors, who will be at the Richmond auction house Thursday to bid on an estimated 6,000 issues up for grabs. Never before has Marvel offered such a collection, according to auctioneer Marlin Martin. It includes first editions and consecutive editions of mostly half-century old comics in various condition— some worth hundreds of dollars each. “For a collector that’s looking at continuous run material, there certainly is that here for them. For those who are starting out collections, it’s obviously quite advantageous to them because you’re not running around all over,” he said. Between Batman, Spider-Man,

Superman and Doctor Strange are lesser-known collectable titles, including Metal Men. In issue No. 1—whose cover price is 12 cents— robots Gold, Lead, Mercury, Platinum, Tin and Iron battle their first evil foes, the Missile Men. Although the hobby of comic book collecting isn’t what it once was, there are still plenty of collectors out there, said Martin. Some collect for the thrill of the story,

others for profit. Still others, said Martin, are in it for nostalgia. “It’s kind of like, we’ve got our house paid off, we’ve got money, and I remember as a kid paging through these and reading them. We just didn’t realize they’d be worth anything at that time, or we would have saved them.” The March 13 public auction begins at 5:30 p.m. at 4080 Vanguard Rd.

EDITORIAL: Lower income brackets are being left behind

he recent StatsCan report trumpeting a 44.5 per cent increase in the worth of Canadians has left many, mostly lowerincome Canadians, scratching their heads. According to StatsCan, the net worth of Canadian families jumped to $243,800 in 2012 from $168,700 in 2005. In British Columbia, the median net worth of families is pegged at

$344,000. The statistics certainly paint a rosy picture for the Canadian middle class. What most headlines avoid are the statistics for the people in the top and bottom 20 per cent. In 1999, the median net worth of individuals in the bottom 20 per cent was $1,300, while that of individuals in the top 20 per cent was $763,700. In 2012, the median net worth of the bottom 20 per cent was

$1,100, a drop of 15.4 per cent from 1999. By contrast, the median net worth of the top 20 per cent in 2012 was 1,380,000, an increase of 80.7 per cent. The report attributes the increase in median net worth for the higher quintiles to aboveaverage increases in real estate values. This explains why the lower quintile has not seen a dramatic increase in their net worth, they

can’t afford to own real estate, much less now than in 1999. The headlines may say Canadians are better off in 2012 than they were several years ago, but the reality is too many Canadians are actually worse off. The disparity will continue to exist until an effective jobs plan is put in place, which includes improving access to affordable day care and eventually affordable housing. —Black Press

Forget the issues, pass the muffins

B.C. Views Tom Fletcher

roceedings here at the B.C. legislature were briefly thrust into the spotlight last week, firing up the radio talk shows and twitter feeds.

No, it wasn’t the B.C. Liberal government forcing through legislation to allow industrial “research” for things like pipeline routes in provincial parks, or the debate on sanctioned wolf and grizzly kills. It wasn’t the teacher strike vote, as the scripted motions of that ritual combat are well known to weary parents. It was muffins. More specifically, “free” muffins in a newly relocated and equipped MLA lounge, and a rack installed to hold the said muffins at a cost of $733. (The muffins have since been cancelled.) This was portrayed as part of a spending spree by Richmond East MLA Linda Reid, elected Speaker last summer. In fact it’s just the latest phase of a strikingly expensive refit to provide wheelchair access, which Reid has

championed. The new MLA lounge replaces a seldom-used one at the top of steep stairs high in the 1898 stone structure. The new lounge is served by a ramp near the chamber exit to another under-used room in the library, and equipped with big-screen TVs to follow proceedings, similar to those installed in the legislature chamber last year. Everything done here is expensive, from matching ornate woodwork to upgrading ancient plumbing and wiring. But the public, conditioned by media to expect corruption and scandal, would

rather be outraged about free muffins. Prior to this, MLAs had to troop down to the basement dining room to put muffins and coffee on their expense accounts, or have an assistant fetch them. The outraged talk shows didn’t mention that. There are access issues in the dining room too, a fact more difficult to ignore with Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux, Paralympian Michelle Stilwell and former Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan now elected to serve using their wheelchairs.

A costly new outside access ramp assisted Kenny Michell, who visited last week to tell his harrowing story of the Burns Lake sawmill explosion that nearly burned him to death in 2012 and left him in a wheelchair. The NDP brought a delegation of survivors and family members of the dead from sawdust explosions in Burns Lake and Prince George. They supported the opposition’s demand for an independent inquiry, although their own demands ranged from counselling for longsuffering wives to seeing

someone punished for alleged negligence. The scandal pushed in this tragic story is that some evidence was not protected by WorkSafeBC and wouldn’t have been admissible in court. Prosecutors also said they had enough evidence for charges, but the companies or executives would be able to show “due diligence” that would likely result in acquittal. What that means in English is that the explosion risk of extra-dry dust and air wasn’t fully grasped by either mill operators or WorkSafeBC. All B.C. mills are now subject to more scrutiny, and a coroner’s inquest will be calling witnesses this fall to see what lessons can be learned. Back to pipelines through parks. This may seem like a scandal to urban B.C. residents who already fret about the possibility of the 60-yearold Trans Mountain pipeline, or one of several proposed gas pipelines, intruding on a park. It’s not as well known that Trans Mountain completed a major twinning and upgrading project on the Alberta side in 2008. It crosses Mount Robson Provincial Park and Jasper National Park, without incident or scandal to date. But back to muffingate, as it’s become known around here. I don’t know why people are so cynical and uninterested in serious issues. I wish I did. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

City owes Carol Reichert thanks Editor: I was shocked to read that Carol Reichert, founder of Richmond Animal Protection Society, has opted to resign. Carol is among the most dedicated animal advocates I have ever met. Carol has managed to combine skilled management with her compassion for all animals. Having a no-kill shelter in Richmond is, as far as I’m concerned, a huge achievement. The city owes kudos to Carol and her staff and volunteers. Together, they have a tightly knit family who accept and care for any animal. Why? How about Carol’s leadership and demonstration of commitment? Despite personal tragedy (her home exploded and burnt last year, and she lost her own pets in the fire), Carol has taken the helm with firm resolution of putting the needs of animals ahead of her own. Carol is an amazing example for all of us to follow. I have been lucky enough to adopt three birds and one dog from RAPS, and foster birds over holidays. Carol has always been a model of animal advocacy, studiously doing home checks, and ensuring the right match is made. She is also full of compassion for her senior animals and those labeled as “dangerous” (open to discussion!), ensuring they are not overlooked or forgotten. The City of Richmond is losing an extremely valuable asset with Carol’s resignation. I hope she is

recognized in the future with an award to thank her for her amazing contribution to the city and residents of Richmond. Carol, good bye, you will be sorely missed. It will take huge feet to fill your vacant shoes!

Dogs’ treatment is a disgrace Editor: Re: “Seized dogs haven’t been walked in months,” Friday, Richmond Review. These dogs are being punished for being dogs and the punishment is completely out of proportion to their sins which were very minor. They got out and scared some kids—no one was hurt— and nipped the hand of a worker at the construction site, causing a small bruise. They are beautiful animals that have not done anything except to seize an opportunity to run around like fools and have a great time. I understand the owners took full responsibility and have secured their yard to prevent the dogs from escaping. According to your excellent article, the experts agree that these dogs are not dangerous and are suffering real injury by being caged and away from their loving home. Fine the owners and return the dogs with a stern warning. This state of affairs is a disgrace. Thank you for drawing our attention to it. Mary C. Beaussart Richmond

Holistic approach to wellness When Richmond High grad Peter Tong opened up his Pharmasave Pharmacy at No. 1 Road and Moncton in Steveston, he wanted to offer the fishing village something different. Judging from the feedback he’s received over the past two and a half years, his hard work, and that of his colleague Judy Xie, have been paying dividends. What differentiates his Pharmasave from other local pharmacies is their approach: an integrative combination of both traditional and natural alternatives to treat a variety of conditions. “I think the residents here were looking for something different,” Tong said. His store has a large natural supplement section, bigger than most natural food health stores, he said. Added to that are health foods that focus on being allergen free, such as gluten-free bread and dairy alternatives. Locally made artisan products are also featured, from Dam Good Soap, which is made right in Steveston, to Simply Delish artisan soup, made in Langley. Tong graduated from the University of B.C., and thereafter owned a 15,000 square foot Shoppers Drug Mart in Maple Ridge. He transitioned to his new Pharmasave location in 2011. What makes his Pharmasave unique is that he picks and

If you get the right advice, the right products, and you have the discipline to follow through, I know you can succeed. I think as a pharmacist, I can definitely help in the whole process of feeling better”. Tong believes in the holistic approach to wellness. He encourages customers to eat right and exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle. “People want miracle cures, but unfortunately they don’t really exist.” Since opening their doors, Tong’s customer base has grown, and he’s humbled that people continue to come to his pharmacy for advice. “It’s a sign of trust, and that (the advice) is working.” Pharmasave, located at 105-12420 No. 1 Rd., is open from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays and holidays.

letters Great medical care followed accident Editor: On Feb. 20 I tripped and fell head first onto a concrete fire lane that is designed to carry fire engines safely around our complex on Jones Road. I sustained a cut on my

forehead that required 24 stitches and staples. Needless to say there was considerable bleeding (estimated by a paramedic to be one litre) and it was very difficult to stem the flow. Fortunately I had workers and another owner there who attended to me quickly. Thank you Rick. 911 was called and Richmond Fire-

Rescue arrived, followed by B.C. Ambulance. The care these two groups of excellent emergency response teams was beyond reproach. They treated my wife and I with the utmost of care and courtesy. Upon arriving at emergency I was seen in a very reasonable time. The emergency doctors and nurses were very caring and reassuring. I do not

remember all their names, the only ones I recall are Dr. Ackroyd, Dr. Vetter and nurse Chris. Upon getting home we had home care nurses followed by clinic visits to change bandages. These nurses were excellent also. We want to thank all of you for running a very efficient and very clean system. We are very lucky to have lived and

raised our family in Richmond for the past 50 years. To have a hospital like we have is very comforting and a blessing. What could have been much worse was made very acceptable by all the great people who helped us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Gerry Bourassa Richmond

Editor: Re: “Threat to No. 5 Road green zone,” Letters, Feb. 19. The temple proposal includes a covenant on the temple-owned 8.29-acre property located at 10320 No. 5 Road that will restrict the use of the entire property to agricultural in perpetuity. A consolidated parcel of agricultural land allows the temple to farm greater quantities of any given crop in a much more efficient manner than working on smaller non-contiguous pieces. In addition, the temple has retained a professional agrologist to advise on how to ensure that the best agricultural viability for the lands is attained. The proposal will include a significant investment by the temple on the main temple site at 10060 No. 5 Rd. with the installation of a subsurface drainage system on the backlands agricultural area of the temple site. Additional investment at the 10320 No. 5 Rd. property will improve drainage and remove other restrictions on agriculture, including: •the installation of surface drainage, •provision of a two-inch water line for irrigation, •increases in topsoil depth by approximately 30 centimetres, and •surface grading to ensure sloping to the ditches. All of these proposed improvements will make the land able to support all crop varieties that can be grown in Metro Vancouver. We have been advised by our agrologist that these improvements will improve the temple site and the 10320 site to a land capability for agriculture of Class 2. These improvements will have a lasting impact on agriculture along No. 5 Road by providing a relatively large acreage with improved agricultural capability for present and future generations.

Spring fashion trends Celia Leung Fashion Stylist

ith snowfall earlier this month it still feels like we’re in the middle of winter, but next week marks the first day of spring and fashion is already looking ahead to the warmer months. Transition into the new season by updating your wardrobe with some of spring’s best trends. Winter was all about punk and grunge aesthetics, but set your distressed motorcycle leather jackets aside this season and go for a sporty bomber instead. One of spring’s biggest trends is the athletic look, so take a few style cues from the recent Olympic Games and incorporate sporty pieces into your attire. Satin varsity jackets were paired with metallic

trainers at the Marc by Marc Jacobs show, while Balenciaga’s collection included track shorts, muscle tees and tanks. Even the usually glamorous Tom Ford added a few sporty elements to his collection, such as a loose leather net tank reminiscent of a basketball jersey. The key for wearing spring’s sporty trend is to find pieces with athletic silhouettes in unusual fabrics, such as leather, silk, neoprene and mesh. If your style is less sporty and more dressy, then the metallic trend may better suit your taste. High shine dresses and metallic detailing were all the rage on the runway this season. Lustrous satin, lamé and brocade silks made up the majority of Lanvin’s spring collection. Proenza Schouler, on the other hand, presented a more subtle approach to metallics by adding silver and bronze strips to pleated maxi skirts. Don’t be afraid to break out the metallics for daytime. Try adding some shiny accents to your office wardrobe with metallic accessories such as belts, bags or jewelry. Another huge trend for spring is the crop top. DKNY showcased sporty midriff-baring tops in pastel blue while Diane von Furstenberg paired her collection of bustier tops with printed knee-length skirts and pants. Over at Narciso Rodriguez, the crop top was more understated and showed only a hint of skin. For a simple and less daunting way to try the crop top trend, wear the top with high-waisted skirt or pants. It’ll limit the exposure of skin but still allow you to play with proportions. One trend everyone can get into for spring is the oxford shirt. A true classic, collared button-ups graced the runways in a variety of

styles and outfi fitt combinations. Boyfriendfriendstyle dress shirts ts were worn over er boxer shorts at Alexander nder Wang, while Christian hristian Dior revealed a more feminine version on of the button-up up with an oxford shirtdress. Prabal Gurung modernized the silhouette of the shirt with structured d sleeves, and paired it with minimalistic pencil skirts forr a clean, clinicall look.

Or go o rocker chic by coupling ng an oversized button-up on-up with leather leggings. ggings. In terms of prints, rints, pop art was a favourite among the e designers. Inspired ed by art murals, Prada’s collection featured portraits of women on dresses, skirts and coats. s It also revived colour-blocking for the season. The

other collection that ignited the fashion as art trend is Chanel, with patterned fabrics resembling paint swatches. And, as usual, florals are back for spring. However, this season’s florals are less subtle and more of a statement piece. Marni created layers of textured petals for her ensembles and Mary Katrantzou also added a 3-D effect to her florals using embroidery and decoration. As for texture, the trends this season are pleats, fringe and sheer fabric. Dries Van Noten’s spring show encompassed all three trends. The designer showcased ruffled and pleated metallic skirts,

fringed tassel accents on embroidered tops, and veiled skirts with sheer fabric overlays. Spring is great time to refresh your wardrobe, so have fun with fashion and try out a few trends this season.

Angus Reid shares his story of perseverance and the power of sport at KidSport fundraiser by Don Fennell Sports Editor Angus Reid ventured back to elementary school Thursday to make a point—there’s always someone bigger. On the eve of his retirement from the Canadian Football League following a 13-year playing career that included two Grey Cups and four all-star nods, Richmond’s Reid delivered a lighthearted yet poignant keynote address Thursday at the inaugural Richmond KidSport Building Community Champions fundraiser. “I always thought I was the biggest kid in town because I was a big kid, but sports let me know I wasn’t the biggest,” said the former B.C. Lions’ offensive lineman, who at six-footone, 305 pounds was one of the smallest players at his position in pro football. Reid was 10 years old and in Grade 5 at Vancouver

College in the mid-1980s when his school scheduled a basketball game at Garden City Elementary. It was a game, Reid said, that would change his life. “While I was the biggest kid I was also pretty athletic. Sport was pretty easy for me and I loved it. And basketball was my sport. I was Charles Barkley, minus the 36 inch vertical leap,”he said. “I figured this would be a pit stop on my way home.” Reid was warming up with his Irish teammates, confident another victory was in store, when he lined up for the jump ball. Then out came a player bigger than himself. “This guy’s T-shirt says ‘coach’ and I think, ‘real funny, the coach isn’t allowed to play.’ But no big deal, I kind of show up and we win,” said Reid. “But there’s Bobby (Singh), who I’m convinced is the coach, (dominating) for the rest of the game. This was the

biggest man I’d ever seen in my life. We lost the game and I’d never lost a game in my life.” Reid went home hoping his older brothers, who he idolized, would indulge him about how he and his teammates lost to “this huge guy.” Instead, they said, “What are you going

to do about it?” “I really loved sports but I realized then that just showing up wasn’t going to cut it anymore,” Reid said. “There’s always going to be someone bigger or better than you. I’ve never been the biggest guy again, but I learned that if you want some-

thing in life you’ve got to work and work at it. Sport is the greatest for teaching kids to put their heart and soul into something and to push themselves. And the neat thing about sport is it’s a safe environment to learn those lessons because you can fall and get back up again.” Reid said he’s heartbroken to see that it’s becoming increasingly challenging for kids to get involved in sports for reasons that are real “but shouldn’t be why kids aren’t playing.” “We’re here tonight to make sure any kid that needs that opportunity has it,” he said. “We’re not here to produce pro athletes or develop superstar players. If that happens, fantastic, but instead amateur sports should be about helping to develop strong, balanced and mature adults who understand how to get what they want in life. I achieved what i wanted to achieve, knowing I’ll never be the biggest kid in town.”

Kajak honoured Richmond Kajaks thrower Asianna Covington was honoured last week as Sport BC’s top female high school athlete for 2013. “She has worked hard to deserve this award, breaking the B.C. high school discus record in 2013 (as a student at Little Flower Academy) which had stood for 42 years,” said her coach Richard Collier. Covington is now attending University of Georgia on a track and field scholarship. —Don Fennell

Fundraiser nets $29,000 for KidSport “It takes a village to raise a child.” —African proverb

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Talk to any successful athlete, even those in an individual pursuit, and they’ll point to the importance of teamwork. And it’s because of the work by a team of individuals that more Richmond kids will be able to get into the game going forward. Starting with a seed planted by Sanjeet Sandana, sales manager at the Hilton Vancouver Airport Hotel, to the vision of Jenn Scott, the organizing skills of Kathy Nakhleh and Alexa Loo, and the support of a caring and generous sports community, nearly $30,000 was raised Thursday in the inaugural KidSport Richmond fundraiser Creating Community Champions. “To the kids this means we’re now in a position to be able to help more kids than maybe we would otherwise have been able to,” said KidSport Richmond chair Bob Jackson. The local KidSport chapter has already processed 50 applications for financial assistance during the first two months of 2014. Jackson said if that trend continues, it could become a record-breaking year. The most requests received by Richmond KidSport was 286 in 2012. Last year, grants were provided to 230 youth.

The idea for the Creating Community Champions fundraiser was spawned at a regular meeting of Richmond Sports Council late last year. After listening to Jackson explain the challenges Richmond KidSport was facing in the wake of reduced or lost grants, Sandana suggested the Hilton might be able to assist in a fundraiser. The hotel stepped up by donating both a room and meals, and Sandana announced following Thursday’s dinner a five-year commitment to the event. Jackson said the efforts of “a great team of volunteers to go the extra mile” was enlightening. He said it shows what can be achieved when everybody pitches so that kids can have a successful experience. “I think we’re well-placed for another successful, even better event next year,” said Loo, Richmond’s lone Olympian at the 2010 Winter Games and a prominent figure behind Creating Community Champions. “For me personally, raising funds for kids to get into sport is very important,”continued Loo.“Sport has given me the chance to challenge myself to be the best I can be and I learned the value of hard work, teamwork, resilience and community involvement. This is a real opportunity for us as a community to give back.” •Video at www.richmondreview.com.

Students hope for net gains at Palmer academy Information session Thursday at the school Contributor Kids who grow up in Richmond dream of playing hockey in the NHL and Chase Eichen hopes that taking part in the R.C. Palmer Hockey Academy will make that happen for him. “I want to be in the NHL,” the grade eight student says of his plans after high school. The program, which is in its third year, includes both on- and off-ice components. The on-ice program will have the students practicing drills and skating while the off-ice program is a strength and conditioning based class which is meant to improve the students’ on-ice performance. Travis Trottier says that his first year in the program has really helped him improve on “basic skills [he’d] been struggling on at the beginning of the year.” “I really like it, I’m getting a lot better,” adds Quintin Long, “I’ve improved in every way, they do everything here.” But Ryan Strachan, the program’s strength and conditioning coach, says the benefits of the hockey academy extend off the ice. “(The hockey academy) puts them in a different environment from what they have on their community teams...so there’s a social component to it, in terms of just interacting with other kids. We also have someone who comes in and works with them on the leadership component [of the program].” On Thursday, the R.C. Palmer Hockey Academy is hosting an information meeting for anyone looking to learn more about the program. The meeting will take place at R.C. Palmer in room 131 at 7pm.

Local trio commits to UBC football Tuesday was national signing day for U.S. college sports teams, but it was University of B.C. Thunderbirds that made the big gains locally. Three Richmond residents—brothers William and Spencer Latu and Josh Sangha—have committed to play for UBC’s football team beginning in the 2014 season. –Don Fennell

September 9 - 13 Don Fennell photo Though foiled on this scoring chance Sunday, Ayden MacDonald leads the Richmond Sockeyes in playoff scoring with six goals and 10 points in seven games.

Scorching Sockeyes win away from return to final Three consecutive 4-3 victories over North Vancouver Wolf Pack, albeit two of them in overtime, including Game 3 Sunday at Minoru Arenas, has defending Pacific Junior Hockey League champion Richmond Sockeyes a win away from a return to the final. Game 4 is 7 p.m. tonight at Harry Jerome Rec Centre, with Game 5 if needed, also at 7 p.m., Thursday at Minoru. —Don Fennell

International Women’s Day celebration

Breakfast raises money for Richmond Women’s Resource Centre

Around Town Amanda Oye

Regina Brennan, Barb Coward and Janet Hall, members of The Resisters who performed at the event.

Breakfast at Cora’s is always a great way to start the day, especially when it helps raise money for a good cause, as it did at the Richmond Women’s Resource Centre’s second annual breakfast fundraiser in celebration of International Women’s Day.

Around 80 people attended the fundraiser, held last Saturday, which featured a meal and live entertainment by The Resisters. “It went well,” said Colleen Glynn, the president of the board of directors of the Richmond Women’s Resource Centre. “The singers who appeared, they led us in singing ‘Bread and Roses’ at the end.” The breakfast fundraiser helped to raise money, through ticket sales and a live auction, for the resource centre and its various programs aimed at supporting, educating and training women.

Coun. Bill McNulty attended the event as the auctioneer, auctioning off a variety of donated items, including wine, tea, gift cards and a Whitecaps jersey. “We’re the only women’s resource centre in town and one of the few left in the province,” Glynn said. “Contrary to what some believe, women’s equality has not been fully achieved.” Glynn believes that it is important that the resource centre stick around until it is. Amanda Oye covers the social scene for The Richmond Review. She may be reached at amanda.oye@telus.net.

Committed to Agriculture & Food Security in Richmond Lingyen Mountain Temple is here to serve

Coun. Bill McNulty conducted the live auction.

Ruth Smillie and Florence Yau.

• This year alone, The Lingyen Mountain Temple has collected 24,500 pounds of food for the Richmond Food Bank and made a donation of $5,000. The Temple holds food drives on the ﬁrst Sunday of every month. • The Temple’s application for expansion includes agricultural improvements to the backlands fruit tree orchard, including the proposed installation of subsurface drainage.

Penny Menezes and Iveta Williams.

• An 8.29-acre parcel of land will be dedicated to farmland indeﬁnitely and will include improvements to drainage, irrigation and agricultural capability of the land. For detailed information about the Lingyen Mountain Temple’s agricultural proposal, please visit: www.placespeak.com/lingyen
