Richmond loses a true original Community mourns passing of noted anti-smoking crusader and philanthropist Norman Wrigglesworth by Martin van den Hemel and Don Fennell Staff Reporters In his most recent stay at Richmond Hospital, Norman Wrigglesworth kept his cycling helmet on, despite knowing he was unable to ride his bike again. Best known as an anti-smoking crusader, Wrigglesworth passed away Friday peacefully in his sleep at the age of 88. “All day long, he walked around the facility with his helmet on,” said John O’Sullivan, a friend of 25 years. “He was a different breed.” Wrigglesworth, known as a frugal man who decried examples of waste whereever he went, from at city hall to the local fire department stations who kept their lights on at night, spent the last part of his life issuing cheques to charity, each worth tens of thousands of dollars. He was also an enthusiastic cyclist. A carpenter who helped build the George Massey Tunnel, Wrigglesworth became known locally for his anti-smoking crusade that saw him put a massive sign on the roof of his No. 1 Road home. He boasted it was the world’s largest antismoking sign. “He was a challenge. Anybody who met him would understand that,” said O’Sullivan, who got to know Wrigglesworth at Toastmasters meetings in the late 1980s. Wrigglesworth, who was predeceased by his wife Shirley in 1997, first joined the military at the age of 17, joining the navy. He left the bulk of estate to the Richmond Hospital Foundation, B.C. Children’s Hospital, B.C. Women’s Hospital, Canadian Cancer Society and the Canadian Institute for the Blind. O’Sullivan said that Wrigglesworth “died on his own terms.” He apparently was supposed to eat and drink certain foods, but insisted he on eating and drinking what he wanted. Wrigglesworth lost both his parents in his youth. His mom passed away when he was just three years old, and his dad died while he in was still in elementary school. Later in life, one of Wrigglesworth’s greatest pleasures was traveling on cruise ships, and he frequently invited friends to do so as well. He often regaled stories with friends of his many voyages. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie was deeply saddened to hear of Wrigglesworth’s passing. “Norman was a passionate man who cared for the community,” Brodie said. “He was very vocal about certain, impor-

tant issues—the most prominent of which was smoking. He stressed the importance of a no-smoking campaign decades before anyone else really came on board.” Brodie also remembers Wrigglesworth speaking up at the annual Richmond Savings Credit Union meetings, making it a point to query about the goings-on. “He was always unafraid to tackle big and social issues,” said Brodie. “When he cared about an issue, he was passionate about it.” Brodie said he last saw Wrigglesworth about a month or two ago and didn’t realize he was in declining health. “I regret to hear of Norman’s passing. He was a pillar in our community and we shall miss him. Our condolences to his family and friends.” Wrigglesworth was a frequent writer of letters to the editor. Among his topics in recent years were the need for more public washrooms in Richmond, a plea to stop fireworks on Halloween and the need to put up no-smoking signs at transit stations.
Last year, Wrigglesworth made a significant donation to Richmond Hospital, and an afternoon tea was held to recognize his contribution and share some time with the popular Richmondite who became a well-known community activist—particularly against smoking. He and his late wife Shirley were recognized by the Richmond Hospital Foundation. “I was working away in my office one day and heard this voice out in the lobby,” recalled president and chief executive officer Natalie Meixner. “Here was this tall, distinguished gentleman wearing his medals saying ‘I want to speak to the woman in charge.’ Norman had a list of recommendations and questions (about the hospital).” “Thank you, Norman, for being bold enough to ask questions because it’s what helps make us all better,” Meixner said last year at the tea. “Norman has (also) been a champion for not smoking for a long time and you’ve seen changes in our society (toward that) because of people like Norman.”

Election ballots double in size Voters will elect a new city council from 31 councillor candidates and three mayoral hopefuls by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Nearly twice as many candidates are running for a local political seat in Richmond compared to the last election, including three contesting the mayor’s chair.
By the close of the nomination period Friday, 53 candidates had registered in the 2014 civic and school elections, set for Nov. 15. In 2011, just 29 candidates were on the ballot. Retiring councillors suggest the spike in interest is linked to their departures, as new candidates will be battling just six council incumbents at the polls for eight seats. On school board, two trustees are also not seeking re-election, leaving just five incumbents in the race for seven board of education seats. The majority of this year’s candidates are also members of political parties, of which there are a record six. “You always try to find
new ways to connect, and I think that’s what I’m seeing with a lot of these new coalitions out there,” said Coun. Linda Barnes, who won’t seek re-election after 13 years in office. “It’s simply new ways to try to tap into what people are thinking and what they’re concerned about.” Coun. Evelina HalseyBrandt, also retiring, said the higher number of candidates is surprising, particularly those running with slates offering “vague” promises. “I have no idea what they stand for,” she said. “Usually with slates you have people who have more things in common than not in common.”
Kiichi Kumagai, campaign co-ordinator of one of those slates, said the large ballot could be tied to a broad interest in increasing voter turnout. Kumagai, a former councillor behind Richmond First Voters Society, also said he’s never seen this many slates in a campaign. But the intense interest isn’t linked to dissatisfaction, he suggested. “Ninety per cent of the residents in their community are quite satisfied with the way the city has been governed in the last number of years,” he said. Incumbent Mayor Malcolm Brodie, an independent, will face two opponents: lawyer Richard Lee of Richmond Reform and
independent Cliff Wei. In the councillor race, 31 candidates are registered. For school board, 19 are running. Among the last to file nomination papers is councillor candidate Don Montgomery, a local realtor who worked on a past campaign of former councillor Cynthia Chen. Other late-filing independents include Janos Bergman, Lee Gildemeester, Jennifer Huang, Laura Nastasa, Roy Sakata and Patrick Saunders. Just five independents are running for school board, including Kay Hale—a candidate of past elections— and Ken Hamaguchi, a wellknown figure in local minor hockey.
Penalty points added for distracted driving by Tom Fletcher Black Press Talking on your handheld phone or fiddling with a music player while driving will cost you three penalty points in addition to a $167 fine, effective Oct. 20. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced the additional penalty points, making it the same as the penalty for texting and driving. Penalty points are also added for infractions such as watching a video or programming a phone’s GPS system. Anton said the B.C. government is also review-
ing its fines and could increase them, but not to the $1,000 fine Ontario drivers face for a first offence of distracted driving. “I think a $1,000 fine is rather high,” Anton said. Penalty points remain on a driving record for five years, and result in a $175 increase in insurance as soon as they exceed three points. Fines and points for two distracted driving tickets in a year add up to at least $634. At nine points, the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles considers licence suspension. Anton said there were 51,000 tickets issued last year for distracted driving of all kinds. “Ticket volumes show us that more drivers are
ticketed for talking on an electronic device than for texting and driving, and so that is where we decided to start with the new penalty points,” Anton said. Distracted driving is the second biggest cause of fatal vehicle accidents, with an average 88 people killed per year from 2009 to 2013. That compares to 105 deaths attributed to speeding and 86 due to alcohol or drug impairment. Police can also issue tickets for driving without due care and attention to any driver who is noticeably distracted or inattentive and increasing risk to others.

New Sharing Farm hub now part of city’s proposed parks budget Local elected officials could vote on funding the $200,000 facility as soon as January 2015 by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Could Mary’s Barn become a reality at Richmond Sharing Farm as soon as next year? A new sorting, cleaning and storage facility at the farm, which supplies fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs to the Richmond Food Bank and local community meals, has been on the Sharing Farm’s wish list for more than a year, after the previous converted garage had to be torn down because of its poor condition, including a pest infestation. The City of Richmond has pencilled the barn into its proposed parks budget, with a price tag of more than $200,000, The Richmond Review has learned. Marie Fenwick, from the City of Richmond, said the city’s project development team has reviewed and refined the scope of the project. Approval, which could come as soon as early in 2015, would be welcome news at the Sharing Farm, lo-
cated in Terra Nova. Since the garage was demolished, there’s been a dearth of space to store crops, tools and farm equipment. Although there’s grant money for a storage cooler, there’s no place to install it yet. And new hub, which will be named after the late Mary Gazetas, who was a co-founder of the Sharing Farm and former Richmond Review columnist, would mean increased efficiencies, and enable greater output of the nutritious foods that so many local families in need benefit from. Through its own fundraising efforts, the barn has raised nearly $50,000 for the new facility, which would belong to the city. Local police and fire crews had agreed to supply the elbow-grease to build the barn, and Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver have expressed an interest in assisting. Fenwick said discussions continue about keeping this project one that’s driven by volunteers and the community. A report on the project will be written by city staff and presented to the city’s finance committee, and will include a staff recommendation. After that, at the finance committee’s discretion, the project could then be forwarded to city council for approval.

CEO Robin Silvester acknowledges a lack of public trust in federal agency by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Port Metro Vancouver’s top executive called on a Richmond Chamber of Commerce crowd Tuesday to consider the impact a restricted industrial land base would have on the economy. “In my opinion, land is the defining issue for the port and for the Lower Mainland,” said Robin Silvester, president and

CEO of the federal agency. “I urge you as business leaders to consider the impacts that would happen if we didn’t have sufficient trade routes serving our region—if we lose business to the U.S., if we lose jobs to other regions because
we don’t have the land for those new jobs and businesses.” Speaking at a business luncheon held at Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel, Silvester said demand for trade with Canada is growing—and showing no signs of slowing down.

The port already operates on approximately 500 hectares of land in Richmond—with port and port-related businesses sustaining 5,200 jobs— but Silvester said forecasts suggest industrial land in the Lower Mainland could be exhausted by 2020. He noted 320 hectares of industrial land in Richmond has been lost in recent decades to residential and commercial zoning. “Land is a finite resource,” he said. “We have to encourage a regional approach to protect industrial land.” But Silvester acknowledged opponents to port plans, particularly noting “special interest groups” are free to say what they can to gain support. He said the port needs to build public trust that it will operate safely and protect the environment. “Balancing growth while being environmental and social leaders means earning broad support. It means working together to plan for the long term.” Silvester asked business leaders to join forces with him to prepare for the port’s future. “By communicating more of who we are and what we do, we’re hoping to build greater understanding, to connect with more citizens, and to build an increased trust that we’re doing the right things and we’re doing them well.” The port has ruffled plenty of feathers in Richmond in recent years. One source of ongoing tension between the port and the city—as well as a citizens’ group—is the now-approved jet fuel pipeline project, which the port reviewed on behalf of the federal government. Richmond council has also been suspicious of port growth ever since the federal agency bought 81 hectares (200 acres) of East Richmond farmland as a “strategic acquisition.” Another project the city has fiercely objected to is a coal terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks, located a few kilometres away from Richmond. Approved by the port in August, the project will soon introduce coal barges to the Fraser River. Residents have also found reason to protest. A small residential community in Riverport recently watched a noisy container terminal move onto adjacent land recently bought by the port.

Oil’s dive slow to bring gas price relief Metro Vancouver pump prices predicted to drop to $1.25 or lower by Jeff Nagel
Oct 25–26 5:30– 8:30 p.m.
Black Press The deep dive in crude oil prices in recent weeks has so far been slow to trickle down into lower gasoline prices. But one petroleum industry expert predicts more relief from pain at the pumps is coming soon for Lower Mainland motorists. “You guys are on the verge of a pretty sizable drop in the retail price there,” said Jason Parent, the Ontario-based vicepresident of consulting for MJ Ervin and Associates. He said the current average price of $1.30 per litre of regular gas in Metro Vancouver as of Friday—down from a midsummer plateau of around $1.42—should continue to drop to
Evan Seal photo Crude oil prices may have dropped, but Lower Mainland drivers are still feeling the pain at the pumps.
$1.25 or lower. Crude oil prices have fallen about 15 per cent from their July levels but the drop for retail gas has been barely eight per cent. “We’ve seen some of that passed on at the pump but not quite all of it yet,” Parent said. Crude oil makes up only about half of the cost of a litre of gas, but he said the sharp decline, plus the typical seasonal drop in gas prices as summer driv-
ing season ends, should translate into more savings for drivers. “If you’ve got a sustained downward movement in crude prices—as we have— you will see that passed on for the most part, eventually.” TransLink’s diesel bus fuel costs may also drop with lower crude oil prices. Spokesperson Cheryl Ziola said it’s also possible lower gas prices will encourage more driving
and result in TransLink collecting more fuel tax from the 17 cents a litre it levies, at least over the short term. But cheaper gas can also cut into transit ridership if more passengers take their cars instead. And Ziola cautioned trends of better fuel efficiency, slower growth in vehicle ownership and people driving less are forecast to continue to push down TransLink’s fuel tax revenue over the longer term.

Remembering Norman Wrigglesworth
N
orman Wrigglesworth passed away peacefully on Friday, doing so on his own terms, much like he lived his life.
After doctors ordered a restricted diet that meant he couldn’t even drink plain water, and the only foods available were things he didn’t like, Wrigglesworth decided enough was enough. He refused to eat what he didn’t like, and finally a close friend gave him the plain water he longed for. Eventually, his body succumbed, and he fell asleep for the last time on Oct. 10. Wrigglesworth wasn’t shy and didn’t endear himself to some people, sharing his strong opinion on a variety of topics, from gambling to smoking to the waste of taxpayers money and electricity. He once built a giant no-smoking sign on his rooftop which could be seen by passengers in overhead planes. He often spoke a little too loudly, because he was partially deaf, but many of the things he had to say rung true. Born in the Great Depression and having served in the Second World War, Wrigglesworth knew what it was like to have nothing. As long as he was healthy he travelled everywhere by bike. He lived a frugal life and left this world sharing what he had, which amounted to quite a bit, thanks to the house he sold on No. 1 Road in Terra Nova. Eccentric? Yes, but Norman also had a kind heart. His philanthropy helped out many causes, including Richmond Hospital. Norman Wrigglesworth was a true Richmond original. His passion for the community made Richmond a better place.

B.C. Views Tom Fletcher Three years ago, long-time chief and band administrator Sophie Pierre sought an extension of her term leading the B.C. Treaty Commission and gave a warning. The federal and provincial government should start taking this long and costly effort seriously or “shut ’er down.” Last week Pierre wound up her sixth and final year as chief commissioner on a slightly more hopeful note.
This year, the Tla’amin Nation in the Powell River area and the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon had their treaties proclaimed by Ottawa. They join the Maa-nulth First Nations on Vancouver Island and the Tsawwassen First Nation in leaving behind the Indian Act and the courts to get on with self-government. Tsawwassen in particular has moved ahead aggressively. Its shopping centre development near the ferry terminal is one of the largest commercial projects in the province right now. All of these treaties were negotiated despite multiple overlapping territorial claims around them, and similar progress has been made with the Tsimshian First Nations on the North Coast and elsewhere. The need for aboriginal people to work out their overlapping claim issues between themselves was the focus of the commission’s 22nd annual report. In it,
former chief commissioners Miles Richardson of the Haida Nation and Steven Point of the Sto:lo Nation added their influential voices, urging aboriginal communities to consider them shared territories, rather than clinging to ancient tribal rivalries. Another hopeful sign is that after seven years of commissions and studies, the federal government has finally given its negotiators a mandate to negotiate fisheries. This is the main reason why the Tla’amin waited five long years for Ottawa’s blessing after their treaty had been hammered out. This year’s landmark decision of the Supreme Court of Canada, recognizing Tsilhqot’in Nation title in the remote Nemiah Valley, has also got the attention of Victoria and Ottawa. Pierre noted the “flurry of activity” by Premier Christy Clark in seeking reconciliation, which will culminate this month with a formal apology for the hanging of Tsilhqot’in chiefs 150 years
ago. Pierre said this court ruling “should destroy any lingering thoughts that this issue is not of the utmost importance, and provide the necessary investment, both financial and time commitment, to reach satisfactory conclusions.” That’s the good news for B.C.’s thorniest historical problem, the lack of treaties across most of the province. It’s also becoming clearer that the Tsilhqot’in ruling is unique. It’s unlikely to be repeated by most other First Nations, even if they are willing and able to spend the years and millions to enrich lawyers in pursuit of it. Here’s the bad news. As of this year, the B.C. Treaty Commission has paid out $627 million to First Nations to support treaty negotiations. Most of that is in the form of loans, which are to be repaid out of the cash settlements that Ottawa contributes to settle modern treaties. Pierre acknowledges that
some communities are close to completing treaties, but their debt has climbed to near what Ottawa is offering. This would leave them free but broke. Others are just “spinning their wheels” with no real hope of achieving a treaty, Pierre said. The commission is calling for an “exit strategy” for these communities, starting with loan forgiveness that would allow them to pursue economic activity. There are First Nations, Westbank and Osoyoos prominent among them, which are thriving without treaties. Haida and Klahoose have developed successful forest products businesses as they move toward selfgovernment. Federal and provincial governments must recognize the successes, and the failures..

letters Council made the right call on Steveston development Editor: Re: “Does anyone care about Steveston?” Letters, Oct. 8. Contrary to Mr Ransford’s view, I believe that the current council made the right decision, and made the developers of the unattractive Steveston waterfront development live with their original commitments. Too often developers get as much as they can in their initial development negotiations anticipating that they will be able to bully future councils into making those changes that enhance their returns. The attractiveness of Steveston is the unique mix of small stores and the relative lack of chain franchises. To permit the developers to turn the retail space into just another shopping mall would destroy that which makes it “Steveston.” Developers already have away too much influence on the make up of our community. This time council members stood up to the benefit of most of Richmond’s citizens. John F. Watson Richmond
Vote for those willing to listen and act Editor: Though the Chinese-only sign debate was addressed 18 months ago to the present council, outside of Coun. Chak Au, the council literally ignored the issue and concerns of the 1,000 signatures on the petition. Kerry Starchuk and Anne Merdinyan worked long and hard to put together a very professional and thorough presentation and deserved better than what they received from the present council. So for all of you still concerned about this and other issues this council have ignored, take time to vote in the coming election to replace the present council (with the exception of Coun. Au) with a new slate of people who are willing to take the time to listen and act.
S. Nasadyk Richmond
Yes, Steveston’s voters should wake up Editor: How quickly some people forget history. I was amused by Mr. Bob Ransford’s Oct. 8 letter and just had to respond, and so I’d like to bring to light some of that history. When the campaign for the rezoning of the B.C. Packers site was raging away, Mr. Ransford was a key part of a group known as “Community Building Consensus,” or as I referred to them as “Community Bothering Community.” Mr. Ransford, along other CBC members, BC Packers, Onni, who was going to be the developer of the site and their mesmerizing spin doctors, managed to convince the City of Richmond to allow the company to bulldoze an internationally historic and critically heritage waterfront and give us the density we have there today. I have to also chuckle at Mr. Ransford for calling that part of the site an “abandoned waterfront commercial wasteland,” when the truth is the area in total is a heritage wasteland. What also makes me chuckle is the City of Richmond for having the infinite wisdom to give BC Packers and Onni a heritage award for the waterfront. Why would anyone in their right mind give out a heritage award for a “heritage wasteland?” I remember one ex-BC Packers employee being shocked, upset and at the same time amused at being contacted by a BC Packers executive to identify some of the artefacts that were going to dot the landscape on the waterfront to fill the company’s heritage obligation. I for one am worried that the “abandoned waterfront commercial wasteland” will become a high priced area full of people with shops that think that Steveston is the in place to be and not a fishing community. And as for calling the merchants “a parochial and spineless lot,” that isn’t a good idea in my mind, and so perhaps he should have shopped around for a better way to talk about them. Yes, Steveston’s voters should wake up, and we should make sure we don’t have an increased vehicle density, as parking is already at a premium. I for one would like to see more commercial fishing not shops. Gordon Kibble Richmond

letters Imagine the driverless car in Richmond Editor: Apparently Tesla Motors and several other companies are making great strides in developing “driverless car” technologies. I don’t yet understand what having driverless cars on our roads and highways will mean in relation to driving convenience, comfort, and safety, but I do know that given the kind of driving we see in Richmond, the fact that even a short trip to the grocery store can become a challenging and dangerous adventure, and the number of times I witness instances where the vehicle is already driving the driver rather than the other way around, I suspect that driverless car technology would more than likely lessen the stresses involved in driving in our city. Now, how about i-devices that take the worry out of everyday life by telling you what you should be thinking, where you should be going, and what you should be buying. Oh, wait a minute! That’s already happening isn’t it? Ray Arnold Richmond
Will Canada support Malala’s cause? Editor: Congratulations to Malala Yousafzai, the youngest ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Awarding the prize to Malala shows a strong recognition of the connection between education and the creation of peaceful societies. Canadians will warmly welcome Malala to receive her honorary Canadian citizenship later this month. Does this mean, too, that our Canadian government recognizes the importance of all children to have a right to education and the role it plays in building sustainable peace and security? With education, young people are the best hope for reconciliation in conflict, the best buffer against the radicalization of youth and the repetition of cycles of violence. Canada must support education as one strategy to reduce violence in our world. Canada can help by contributing to the Global Partnership for Education. With a special focus on reaching children in conflict affected states, training teachers and girls’ education, the partnership is in a very good position to reach many of the challenges that face children in developing nations to have a quality education. When will Canada decide? Canada should make a generous pledge to the Global Partnership for Education soon. Roz Johns Richmond
NEWS FROM BEHIND THE SCENES
Behind the Curtain
A
s we look behind the curtain and wander the backstage corridors we find costume designer for Conversations With My Mother, Farnaz Khaki-Sadigh still hard at work after the opening of the show last week. Farnaz has worked in both theatre and film as a designer; however this is her first time working at Gateway Theatre, so we decided to catch up with her, and here’s what we found out… Q. What do you love about costume designing? Being able to recreate the past and creatively foretell the future. I also love the challenge of telling a silent story with the costumes, such as the characters’ pasts, personality, thoughts and moods through styles, fabrics, and colours. Q. What is the biggest costuming challenge for this show? Being able to represent the past with no time for cast to do full changes or leave the stage. Q. What makes working in theatre different to film? Many more creative challenges, such as quick changes—in film the cast have time to go and change before the next scene, in theatre we don’t get that chance often. Also, instant gratification, in theatre you can see your work within a few weeks of the concept to actualization, with film you have to wait months before seeing the final product. Q. What appealed to you about working on Conversations With My Mother? I really like the story and script—as well I have worked with the Director, Katrina Dunn for many years and really enjoy working with her.

The warmth of summer is fast fading in the rearview mirror, and colder days and evenings mean people are looking for ways to keep toasty when they’re home.
$1,400, or about $2,250 after installation.
One popular option is switching out a wood-burning fireplace with one powered by natural gas.
And when compared to an older gas fireplace, like those in older apartments which are commonly only about 25 per cent efficient, that translates into $50 to $75 savings per month on your electricity and gas bills.

Fall accessory trends
Celia Leung FASHION STYLIST
I
t’s official — fall has arrived. And though we may be reluctant to give up sunny evenings spent on the patio in our effortless summer ensembles, it’s time to start embracing the crisp, cool weather and ready our wardrobe for layering. One of the easiest ways to update our closets for the new
season is through accessories. Whether it’s a chic handbag, luxurious scarf or an edgy pair of boots, the extra details can help make or break an outfit. Pastels are usually reserved for spring but the fall and winter collections saw a resurgence of the pale hues. In terms of footwear, baby blue platformed oxfords strode down the runways at Stella McCartney while pastel, colour-blocked heels were shown at Givenchy. Handbags were also given the pastel treatment by Gucci and Louis Vuitton with powder blue satchels. Since the colour palette for fall typically involves a lot of neutrals, navy and olive shades, pastel accessories provide the
perfect pop of colour to contrast against the more somber tones. Due to the huge 1960s trend, knee-high boots are back in vogue. Add some much needed warmth to your mini skirts and dresses this fall with cozy knee-high boots. Whether you prefer a slouchy or sleeker boot silhouette, there’s a pair to suit any style. Pair a flat, structured kneehigh boot with skinny jeans and a fitted blazer

The menswear and athletic trends from spring are continuing to influence footwear this season. Sneakers and trainers graced the fall runways, with Chanel even taking part in the sporty chic trend.

statement at shows like Marni and Lanvin. Another accessory trend that started in the spring and is still going strong through the colder seasons is the bucket bag. Michael Kors accessorized his models with snakeskin bucket bags while over at Ralph Lauren, a more classic version of the bag was shown. Spacious yet stylish, bucket bags are an easy and fun way to carry all your essentials. Other handbag trends for this season focused on the practical with oversized and utilitarian, sporty bags. The oversized clutch was spotted at Dries Van Noten and Chloe while Michael Kors and Rag & Bone displayed no-frills sporty
backpacks at their shows. Alexander Wang took the utilitarian accessory trend to the next level with compartmentalized bags reminiscent of camping gear. Since fur, whether real or faux, is always huge for fall it’s no surprise the texture is a hot accessory trend this season. Coach and Marc Jacobs both have shearling purses in their collections while fur totes and satchels were seen at Dolce & Gabbana and Fendi. Lining everything from bags to gloves to boots, the designers even added colour to their furs. Celine and Christian Dior accessorized with bold, colourful stoles while a touch of blue fur was spotted on the sandals at Reed Krakoff. Blanket scarves are another oversized ac-
cessory trend for this season. Characterized by wide, squarish dimensions, blanket scarves are a great layering piece for style and warmth. Whether you prefer
clean seams or tasselled details, there’s a blanket scarf for every outfit. On the runways, the scarf has even replaced the necklace, making it’s mark at Christian Dior and Emilio Pucci. As for jewelry, the biggest trend is the statement earring. Yes, just one bold piece on a single ear. Demonstrated on the runways at Celine, Isabel Marant and Louis Vuitton, the trend is not for the fashion shy. The key to making the statement earring look intentional (instead of just appearing like you’ve misplaced the other half of the pair) is by adding a simple, small stud on the other ear. We spend most of the fall and winter seasons covered up under coats, so accessories are great for expressing your personal style in the colder months.

Review: Conversations more like arguments, but hey, it’s family by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter
Researcher at the University of British Columbia Need Your Help…
I
n Conversations With My Mother, there’s enough sneers, snarls and general snippiness to fill faces of a bloated cast and sizable ensemble. Only there’s just three actors. This new play, written by Stacey Kaser and Alison Kelly—who also stars—made its world premiere at Gateway Theatre last week, and it was, in some ways, a pivotal moment for Gateway. This is the Minoru Park playhouse’s 30th anniversary season, and a chance to show its fastchanging community theatre still matters. And these snarly-faced actors are telling it to you straight—it does matter, thank you very much. They’re surely really nice people, but on stage, these actors are bickering. Such is a play whose story revolves around a dead mother whose spirit is intent on still steering her grown daughters’ lives. With Conversations, we’re treated to strong performances from Kelly (Heather) and Deborah Williams (Lily) and Patti Allan, playing the role of mother Hyacinth. At times it’s Allan stealing the show with her puckered face delivery Conversations of disgust toward her With My Mother daughters and their •Oct. 9 to 25 at Gatelife choices. way Theatre, MainThe story begins in the garden, where Stage Hyacinth—a therapist •Tickets, $20 to $45, at pushing 70 who engatewaytheatre.com joys a good smoke— or 604-270-1812 quickly falls dead. Her spirit quickly comes back. Lily, then Heather, both begin to sense her spirit. Mercifully, we’re spared the special effects and given the spirit in the form of an actor very much alive. Lily, a 40-something mom of three, soon reveals her unexpected baby bump, and career-focused CEO Heather comes clean on her efforts to have child No. 1—by adoption. You can bet mom Hyacinth has plenty to say about both situations, and we’re given some back story through ‘80s flashbacks backed by Madonna tunes. While Lily wrestles with the thought of having a fourth child, Heather is planning an adoption, which ultimately doesn’t go as planned. The story is somewhat thin, as it builds to something not entirely unimagined, and conversations rarely leave the confines of this three-woman family. But there’s some laughs here—enough funny bits to cool the many heated mother-daughter or daughter-daughter arguments, er, conversations. Giving audiences a story richly themed with family is fitting to start a 30th season, as is premiering a brand new work. Artistic director Jovanni Sy originally considered remounting a past Gateway production, but decided on a work that was developed, in part, at the Richmond theatre. Its appeal won’t be as wide, but sometimes family is worth it.

Local dancer helps Canada to fourth place at World Hip Hop event by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter
D
espite an exhausting hiccup, Canada’s national hip hop team including Brighouse Elementary’s Tanner March persevered to finish fourth in the IDO World HipHop Championships in Bochum, Germany.
Up against 24 teams in the Juniors Formations division, Canada’s team came up just short of a podium finish, with squads from England, Poland and Denmark snagging the top three spots in the Sept. 24 to 28 event. March’s mother Janice said the trip to Germany was something straight from a Hollywood movie. “It started out something like National Lampoon’s Family Vacation but the resilience of the team and true Canadian spirit shone through,” she wrote in an e-mail. “We ended up with lengthy delays (mechanical issues) at the Vancouver Airport causing us to miss our connecting flight into Germany. After approximately 17 hours in the airport and lots of negotiating with Air Canada...(we) were finally on our way.” The team arrived a day later than expected and after about 40 hours of little or no sleep, had to jump into performance mode. But then they faced some more adversity: judges deemed their music as too fast. “The head coach/choreographer had to change

the speed of some of the music and change the choreography to adapt to this rule which they did without missing a beat,” Janice March said. The junior team advanced to the final round, and despite a range of setbacks, from injuries to the flu bug to exhaustion, finished fourth. Canada’s senior team finished 10th from among 32 teams in the adult formation division. “Overall the trip was very memorable and the Canadian team made some wonderful friends with the teams from England and South Africa and other parts of the world and definitely left their mark on the world hip hop stage,” she said.

Ribbon cut on new Asian supermarket T&T opens first grocery store in Richmond’s Oval Village by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A major player in the Asian grocery store market has opened a new location in Richmond, catering to an emerging high-density neighbourhood surrounding the Richmond Olympic Oval. T&T Supermarket opened its newest street-level store last Wednesday as part of Onni’s Ora development—a new threetower community. Located at 135-5511 Hollybridge Way, the store boasts 38,000 square feet—an average
size for the supermarket chain of 23 stores, according to marketing manager Paul Wong. T&T boasts eight Lower Mainland locations, along with two Osaka markets. It has one store in Richmond’s President Plaza on Cambie Road, and an Osaka market in Yaohan Centre. Wong said the new Ora store has similar merchandise as other locations, but said the Oval Village store is “slightly targeted toward younger customers,” by offering small produce packs and grab-and-go convenience meals. Calling it “fast food reinvented,” T&T calls these meals “wholesome and nutritious” that can be enjoyed in store or taken home. The location also boasts a beauty section featuring many Asian products, noted Wong. *

Soccer’s more than scores Promoting fun paramount for U16 coach by Don Fennell Sports Editor Tim Lee embodies the term player’s coach. The first-year mentor of Richmond FC’s under-16 Gold Division boys’ soccer team, Lee appreciates that little things can quickly add up and influence
the overall mood. So he’s set out to make sure those little things are positive—like the box of Timbits the players exuberantly shared following a 2-0 victory over Vancouver Saturday at Minoru Park. With a third of the players new to the squad this season, and the remainder coming off a frustrating campaign a year ago, Lee wants to build confidence and boost team morale. He recognizes winning helps achieve that, but more important is the goal of building a culture—one of looking forward to coming to the park and, ultimately, a lifelong love of the game. See Page 19

“Every time we win a game it’s a step in the right direction, but as long as the players are having fun and enjoying the games they’re going to progress,” he says. “I want them to want to come back next year, and from a team perspective if we can make it into the top third of the league— where we sit right now— that would be great.” Like any good coach, Lee draws on his own experiences. Some of them are also his fondest. As a youth soccer player in Richmond, one of Lee’s coaches was Harvey May who he likens to a great storyteller. “He always had us in stitches telling stories of him playing or watching the World Cup,” says Lee. “He instilled that fun attitude and even as adults when we see him we remember fondly.” Lee hopes this Richmond youth soccer team has similar memories.

Richmond Rapids’ graduate Nicolaas Dekker has been selected as a Swimming Canada carded athlete for 2014-2015. For the next fiscal year, Dekker will receive top-tier funding to train and compete, which includes fully-funded training trips, travel meets and racing suits. National level carding is only given to a select group of high-performance athletes. Recipients are expected to improve at international levels for the duration of their carding, which is reviewed annually for renewal. What made Dekker a strong pick for Swimming Canada was not a single, golden-moment swim, but a collection of consistent improvements and high-level dependability for over a year. Regardless
of a meet’s importance or environment, Dekker regularly achieved personal best times across all events, and simultaneously posted nationally competitive times in butterfly, his strongest stroke. As a decade-long member, Dekker is true Rapids stock. He began with the Rapids as a 10-and-under swimmer after starting his career in summer swimming. At 11, he went through the regional development program and quickly qualified for provincial age group. After a few years, he began training under head coach Robert Pettifer in the national-level program. Dekker is a first-year student at the University of Alberta, where he was awarded an athletic scholarship.

It is through experiences like Richmond Soccer’s annual Thanksgiving boys’ and girls’ tournament, held over the weekend that these goals are realized. “We’re only four games into the season and this weekend was an opportunity for our team to get a lot of games in a short period (four games in two days) and to work on things,” Lee said. “But it was also another good opportunity to get to know one another. It’s ideal to have a tournament at this time of the year. There are a lot of tournaments in the summer, but often the kids are playing other sports or nothing at all.” While Lee—who coaches Richmond’s under-16 Silver Division team last season—prefers possession-style soccer over punt and chase, he’s prepared to be patient.
Only two matches remain in the regular season of the Pacific West Athletic Association men’s college soccer schedule, and a trio of Richmond players are standing tall for the Kwantlen University Eagles. First-year forward Justin Turner-Pearce, second-year goalkeeper Ashbir Paul, and third-year midfielder Anthony McCullough all stood tall on the weekend as the Eagles earned a split to maintain a .500 record—5-5-3—in the chase for a playoff spot. McCullough scored once in Kwantlen’s 2-1 win over Langara, which featured a stellar display of netminding by Paul who made multiple gamesaving stops to preserve his team’s victory.

Hot line scorches foes at Ice Breaker But Islanders ultimately find winning formula in balance and team play by Don Fennell Sports Editor It’s an odd combination, but one that has clearly found chemistry. More or less thrown together as a line in the midst of earlyseason injuries, second-year centre Josh Bourne—flanked by first-year player Daniel Rubin at right wing and third-year left winger Noah Wozney—set the pace early and often for the Seafair Islanders at Seafair minor hockey’s 12th annual Sandman Hotel International Ice Breaker rep tournament held during the Thanksgiving long weekend at the Richmond Ice Centre. The trio was at its very best when it mattered most Monday, accounting for all four goals as Seafair defended its championship with a 4-2 victory over Juan de Fuca. “Obviously team effort is No. 1 always, but in this case this one line got hot and really carried us,” said head coach Steve Robinson. “They played all the powerplays and got firstline minutes and accounted
for a good chunk of our 28 goals—16 of which were scored on the powerplay.” Being a small, skilled team, good special teams will greatly determine the Islanders’ success this season. Robinson said it was clear Juan de Fuca, after being burned by five powerplay goals in a 6-2 loss to Seafair in early round-robin play, were much more conscious of taking penalties in the final. “We work on our special teams a lot,” continued Robinson. “With the great parity in this (Midget) group it is the execution of intangibles like the powerplay that really make a difference. It’s no different than when the (Vancouver) Canucks made the Stanley Cup final against Boston a few years ago, got all those powerplays, and then couldn’t make the Bruins pay.” While the Bourne, Rubin and Wozney line paced the Islander offence, 13 different players scored goals during the weekend—a fact that Robinson believes makes the team as a whole stronger. “We always say it doesn’t mat-
ter who contributes as long as we find a way as a team,” he said. “And nothing makes you happier as a coach than to see different guys scoring.” Robinson feels the Islanders’ success at last weekend’s Seafair invitational has not only further galvanized his team, but also boosted the players’ confidence. He hopes, and expects, the Islanders will maintain traction during a busy week of tiering-round play which will see the team play four games in the next six days. The goal is to peak at the Kelowna minor hockey invitational tournament Oct. 31 to Nov. 2. “There’s going to be a very strong field and we hope our game translates well against the better teams,” said Robinson. •Seafair also won the Peewee A1 Division championship at the Ice Breaker tournament, blanking Kelowna 7-0 in Monday’s final. Seafair’s Atom A2 team also scooped up top honours in its flight, blanking North Shore Winter club 3-0 in Monday’s final.

It was a packed house for opening night of Conversations with My Mother.
Richmond landmark’s birthday celebration. “That the theatre’s lasted 30 years is fantastic and that [artistic director] Jovanni (Sy) would pick a new Canadian play to launch his season is so amazing,” said Kelly. “As a writer, as an actor, as a theatre person, it’s just truly an honour.” “It was a really fun show.
The audience was wonderful and receptive, so you couldn’t ask for more.” The play was followed by a reception held in the theatre’s lobby, catered with finger food and a large chocolate cake, and was attended by many long-time patrons of the Gateway. Speeches were made by Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie,
Jovanni Sy, and Susan Ness of the board of directors. Conversations With My Mother is the first of six shows the Gateway will be showing this season and is on until Oct. 25. Katie Lawrence covers the social scene for The Richmond Review. E-mail her at kt.lawrence10@gmail.com
