Two youths arrested for string of Steveston break-ins

A spooky display
Richmond RCMP to hold crime prevention forum on Nov. 5 by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Richmond Mounties announced Tuesday afternoon that they have arrested two youths in connection with more than a dozen recent break-ins in the Steveston area. “It is alleged these thieves would look for open windows and unlocked doors when they break in,” Richmond RCMP Cpl. Stephanie Ashton said. The two youths were arrested after being caught red-handed trying to break into a house on the 8200 block of No. 3 Road. Though there have now been arrests, Ashton urged the public to remain diligent and ensure they lock their doors and windows and employ appropriate lighting. Richmond RCMP will be hosting a property crime prevention forum on Nov. 5 that is open to Richmond residents. The forum, from 7 to 9 p.m., will be held at the Pacific Gateway Hotel, formerly the Delta River Inn on Cessna Drive. Meanwhile, Richmond RCMP are looking for the public’s help in identifying a person of interest in a number of thefts from vehicles in the areas between Minoru Boulevard and Gilbert, near Blundell Road. Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212, e-mail them at Richmond_tips@rcmp-grc.gc.ca or to remain anonymous call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Martin van den Hemel photo Jennifer Pavlovic is hoping to scare up some generosity this week for the Richmond Food Bank, with her annual Halloween display in her front yard at 11731 No. 2 Rd. She’ll be collecting non-perishable food and money for the food bank, which serves more than 1,500 people per week and distributes about 30,000 pounds of food weekly. New in her display this year is an animatronic named Nester, a life-sized talking pumpkin that spouts insults, and a zombie research facility in her garage. Her front door will feature a wicked witch and cauldron display, and her front yard will become a graveyard. Last year was a record-setter for donations, and she’s hoping locals will come out and contribute to a worthy cause.

Advance polls open Saturday Nine opportunities to vote before Nov. 15; two all-candidates meetings planned by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

Civic pay, Chinese signs focus of mayoral debate Brodie defends city’s record on pay, saying ‘huge cost’ if employees go elsewhere by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter In the wake of a report documenting a rapid rise in municipal compensation, Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie defended city workers’ salaries in a mayoral debate Thursday. Brodie, campaigning for a seventh term in the Nov. 15 vote, said unionized workers’ pay is governed by negotiated agreements. As for management—who are paid too much according to an Ernst and Young report made public last month— Brodie said “it’s all relative.� “If we don’t pay our management enough, then they go somewhere else,� he said in front of a Minoru Place Activity Centre crowd of approximately 250 people. “That’s a huge cost, when you lose a longtime employee and that person goes elsewhere. So you have to pay market rate to your employees, and it’s also a matter of fairness.� To probe municipal pay, the province hired consultants Ernst and Young, whose report criticized cities for allowing pay levels to climb by 38 per cent—twice the rate of
the provincial public service—from 2001-12. The report also suggested municipal managers are paid too much and recommended the province take strong action to curb the trend. Richard Lee, who is making a second run at the mayor’s job and running with Richmond Reform, said staff are entitled to their current deals, but suggested there’s room for wage scrutiny. “I believe in the free market, we could have and in the future we will under my leadership, to hire somebody at a reasonable rate, not at the alarming rate that was shared with us in that study‌â€? Richmond City Hall’s payroll has grown by $15 million in five years. The city’s top earner is chief administrative officer George Duncan, who made $291,250 last year. Department heads also score high on the pay scale, as five of six general managers topped the $200,000 mark in 2013. Thursday’s short debate, organized by the Richmond Centre for Disability, served as a prelude to a much larger forum featuring 28 candidates running for councillor. Mayoral candidates also waded into the contentious waters of Chinese-only signs. Lee said they’re “not a good thing.â€? Some will argue for freedom of expression, he said, but added “all rights are conditional.â€? “We must have a public process to hear the views of all the people.
If persuasion is not going to do the job, then I as the mayor (will) lead the way to make sure that that’s not going to happen.� Brodie said the city can get involved two ways, either prescribing a bylaw or working with the community to persuade change. “The second route, to persuade and educate, is far more difficult, but you must take the time and the energy and invest in your community,� he said. “Do not bring in a sign bylaw.� Candidates were also asked about casino money. As revenue soars at River Rock Casino Resort, the City of Richmond—which nets a portion of that income as a host city—continues to reap the benefits, collecting $17.6 million last year alone. Brodie said the city has been using the cash to pay for new facilities, community grants and policing, with the rest being deposited into
“If we don’t pay our management enough, then they go somewhere else. That’s a huge cost, when you lose a longtime employee and that person goes elsewhere� — Mayor Malcolm Brodie
a reserve account. But he added a review of casino money spending is underway. Cliff Wei, a third contender in the mayor’s race, suggested the money be used for programs currently paid for by homeowners through property tax. “In Hong Kong people don’t pay the property tax. In China people don’t pay property tax. And in China they have a very good health care system, very good policing system and education system. So I think it’s very possible.� Voters also wanted to hear candidates’ thoughts on the rapid pace of high-density development in Richmond. Wei said planning towers along the No. 3 Road corridor is “totally wrong,� suggesting the world’s most livable cities have “very low population densities.� “If we want people to have a good life, we should keep that ratio low.� Brodie said it was decided long ago that Richmond would take on growth, while still protecting farmland and single-family neighbourhoods, by densifying arterial roads and City Centre. Lee said a recent study showed Surrey charges builders the highest development cost charges in the region to fund community amenities, suggesting Richmond follow a similar model. “We don’t see a lack of development moving to Surrey even though they are charging that amount of development cost charges.�
Advance polls in Richmond’s local elections open Saturday, ahead of two newly-announced all-candidates meetings next week. Richmond City Hall will host the first advance poll Nov. 1 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and will again offer advance voting opportunities Nov. 5 to 8. Four local elementary schools will also offer advance polls on Saturday, Nov. 8. Voters registered for the Nov. 15 election will receive a voter card by mail this week outlining voting places. One mayor, eight councillors and seven school trustees are to be elected. Voting by mail ballot is also available for voters unable to get to a voting place—either due to disability, illness, injury or absence. Those who wish to vote by mail can contact the election office (604276-4100), which must receive the ballot by general voting day for it to be counted. Voters physically unable to access a voting place may also request curbside voting. Voters may also have another person assist them to read or mark a ballot. An accessible voting station with descriptive audio, enhanced video, Braille keypad and connections for sip/puff devices is also available at Richmond City Hall on advance voting dates. Unregistered voters can sign up at advance polls or their designated voting place on Nov. 15, provided they bring two pieces of appropriate identification. Voters can also get to know candidates at two all-candidates meetings scheduled for next week. Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Richmond campus will host a forum for councillor candidates Tuesday, Nov. 4 at 7 to 9 p.m. On Wednesday, Nov. 5, the Richmond Teachers’ Association will host a forum for school trustee candidates at Richmond Secondary School from 7 to 9 p.m.

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
A new civic party’s promise to“stop the tax hikeâ€? drew plenty of opinions at a candidates forum last Thursday. A key plank to the Richmond Community Coalition’s platform is city hall’s annual property tax increase. The party is warning voters ahead of the Nov. 15 election that taxes are slated to go up 15 per cent in the next five years, under the city’s five-year financial plan. The coalition promises to hire a consultant to review city spending to find potential savings. “It’s something that hasn’t been done by many city governments, and hasn’t been done here in Richmond,â€? said Dan Baxter, one of six RCC council candidates. “It will give you a good (overview) of exactly how every dollar’s being spent, and that we can ensure that every dollar is getting good value‌ If it’s not we want to make sure we put it back into your pockets.â€? Running mate Chak Au, challenging for a second term, said any tax hike needs to be “evidence driven,â€? and an external review will help identify priorities and areas to save money. But rival candidates with Richmond First have been critical of the

coalition’s commitment. In a recent letter to the editor, Coun. Linda McPhail noted it was Richmond First who voted against a three per cent property tax increase for 2014—but Au, with a potential deciding vote, agreed to the tax hike. “Now Coun. Au wants to have it both ways, voting for higher taxes but saying he’s against them,� she said. On Thursday McPhail’s Richmond First colleague Bill McNulty said as a councillor, he already scrutinizes city books, and reminded the crowd it’s his party’s councillors who voted against this year’s tax hike. “Those are facts. C’mon, Mr. Au voted for a tax increase,� he said. “I think we’ve got to talk about reality here, not what people are promising you.�
Independent Jerome Dickey suggested taxpayers could be saved from tax hikes if the city increases development cost charges. “If growth is good for us, why are your taxes going up? Ask yourself that. You should be reaping some of the benefits of this growth.� Harold Steves, running for reelection as the sole candidate of Richmond Citizens Association, said when city costs go up, it’s reflected in tax rates. “If you’re saying you’ll keep (tax increases) at zero, then what services are you going to cut?� he said. “If we’re going to hire 10 per cent more policemen, which is what I think we need, then we’re not going to do it with a tax cut.� t4FF SFMBUFE TUPSZ Q

Ryan Webster, 23, also banned from driving for five years by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Ryan Webster and brothers Shane and Jess Moses were neighbours and close friends for nine years before the May 12, 2012 crash on No. 4 Road claimed the siblings. On Tuesday morning, in Richmond provincial court, Webster, now 23, was sentenced to two years less a day in jail, received a three-year term of probation, and a five-year driving ban after entering an early guilty plea to two counts of driving while above the .08 blood/alcohol limit causing death. Webster’s lawyer, Vincent Michaels, told The Richmond Review that his client took immediate responsibility for his actions and didn’t try to hide anything about his alcohol consumption that night when he called 911 from the crash scene. Following a party at the brothers’ home, and during the early morning hours of that Saturday Mother’s Day, Webster and the Moses brothers went to Webster’s home, and Webster took his mother’s BMW out. They were heading south on No. 4 Road, south of Steveston Highway, when the BMW 325i crashed into a tree on a twisty-section of roadway. A traffic accident engineer estimated the BMW was doing about 87 kilometres per hour in a 50-kilometre-per-hour zone, and at the bend where it left the road, was doing about 72 kilometres per hour. Webster had a blood/alcohol level of about 0.13. above the 0.08 legal limit. “He and his family are devastated by the loss they have caused to the family of the two boys...Their first thoughts have always been with the Moses/Lim fam-
ily,� Michaels said. Richmond provincial court Judge Patrick Chen also sentenced Webster to perform 200 hours of community service. The Crown had sought a prison sentence of closer to three years. Michaels said he’s been involved in dozens of cases like this, but has never witnessed the type of compassion and generosity of spirit displayed by the Moses/ Lim family. “The Moses/Lim faimly have been extraordinary in their lack of vindictiveness and in their sense of acceptance and compassion and generosity of spirit towards my client and his family,� he said, adding that he’s “never witnessed anything...like the kind of...willingness to understand Ryan Webster’s position in the face of their own enormous loss.� Webster penned a letter of apology to the family and read it out to the courtroom. In it, he accepts complete responsibility for what happened, and that he’s not only remorseful but feels a sense of shame for his actions. To honour the memory of the boys, Webster has rededicated his life to trying to “bring something good back into the world,� Michaels said. “He has involved himself in charitable fundraising as well as going back to school,� Michaels said, noting that Webster is excelling in a two-year program at Langara where he’s studying kinesiology. Michaels described his client as “drifting and rootless� before the accident, but he’s now focused, hard working, and aware of the preciousness of the gift of life. “It is a weight he will carry with him forever, and he doesn’t want to try to forget.� At the time of the crash, Shane Moses had just completed his graduation, and Jess was in Grade 11 and had been accepted into the auto apprenticeship program offered by the Richmond school district in partnership with Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

EDITORIAL: Lessons to learn from last week’s Ottawa shootings
T
here are three lessons to take away from last Wednesday’s shootings on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The first one — one that played out in front of radio listeners and TV viewers throughout the day — is not to over-react. After Michael Zehaf-Bibeau shot Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and made a beeline for the Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings, those tasked with security there did their duty. They tried to stop him at the main entrance. They followed the

taken on a cellphone by a Globe and Mail reporter, of the actual shooting. That provided context and sound effects and was very effective. An investigation is underway, and it includes a detailed look at a video the shooter left behind. It is clear that the man felt disconnected from society and that he was at least influenced by messages from ISIS on social media. He also had been a crack cocaine addict. Beyond that, it is unclear what influenced him to take the actions he did. The federal government
needs to take the same approach — move slowly and not over-react. There is no need for drastic changes to laws which will impact on freedoms of ordinary people. There may well be a need for increased surveillance and perhaps a blocking of social media messages from known ISIS activists. The second lesson is that there is clearly a need for better security at the Parliament Buildings. Part of this may be due to a variety of forces being responsible for various aspects of security, but access to Parliament
through the front door is too easy. If this had been a co-ordinated attack, there could have been enormous repercussions. The third lesson is the need for all political parties to co-operate more often, as shown in Thursday’s extraordinary actions in the House of Commons. Parties can and should disagree — but they can also agree on many measures to make Canada safer and fight this new type of “lone wolf� terrorism. Canadians would greatly appreciate a parliament that works for them, not just for partisan advantage. —Black Press

ebate is underway on the B.C. Liberal government’s tax and environmental plan for liquefied natural gas exports, amid the usual political theatre. Most media reported that the government “slashed� its proposed seven-percent LNG processing income tax by half, caving in to demands of international energy giants led by Petronas of Malaysia. The 3.5 per cent tax wouldn’t even take full effect until the massive capital investment is written down, and would rise to five per cent after 20 years of production. All of this casts further doubt on Premier Christy Clark’s extravagant election campaign promise to use LNG revenues to wipe out B.C.’s debt, currently approaching $70 billion, and provide an Alberta-style “prosperity fund� to perform further miracles.
The seven per cent figure was the top end of the range presented this spring while negotiations with LNG investors were ongoing, so it’s not really accurate to say it was “slashed.� This cash calf hasn’t been born yet, and it remains to be seen if it will survive. Finance Minister Mike de Jong pointed out some of the shifts in the global gas market that have reduced expectations. Japan, one of the potential investors, is considering restarting its nuclear plants as it recovers from the 2011 Fukushima earthquake. China’s manic growth is slowing, and it has signed a long-term deal to import cheaper Russian pipeline gas. Oil prices have dropped. The government’s change of tone started with the recent throne speech, which emphasized the fate of B.C.’s only current export market. “Like forestry, B.C.’s natural gas industry has relied on exports to the United States,� the speech observed. “But the American shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up – and is never coming back.� So before B.C. gets to that prosperity fund, it’s got to stop the bleeding. You may recall it was a U.S. hurricane-induced spike in gas revenues that allowed the province
Tom Fletcher/Black Press Finance Minister Mike de Jong explains that the new LNG income tax is only on profits from liquefying gas for export or domestic use.
to spread an extra billion to calm its labour waters for the 2010 Olympics. The finance ministry estimates that after the startup period, a medium-sized LNG export operation would pay total taxes of around $800 million a year to the province. De Jong notes that this is more revenue than B.C. will collect from the entire forest industry this year, from a single plant. There are 18 currently proposed. This new LNG income tax is nowhere near the biggest source. It’s bigger than the carbon tax that LNG producers will pay on fuel use, but only a fourth of what B.C. collects in royalties for
selling the gas. The biggest source of revenue from this hopedfor plant is “other taxes,� which include sales tax and corporate income tax, which B.C. increased to 11 per cent last year. University of Calgary economist Jack Mintz, who supported B.C. on its ill-fated harmonized sales tax, says this additional LNG tax is wrong-headed at any rate. “If other provinces take the same view with respect to resource taxation, new levies would be applied to oil refining, forest product manufacturing, mining processing and a host of other activities linked to resource industries,�
Mintz wrote last week in the Financial Post. If B.C. does get a substantial LNG export industry, it will include gas from Alberta, with royalties going there, not here. And companies are also wrangling with the federal government over its taxes, with local governments and First Nations still in line for their cut. The big question isn’t whether B.C. will get its fair share. It’s whether there will be anything to share. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Short-term thinking can have long-term consequences in education system Editor: The government’s fight to underfund B.C.’s public schools, and especially its special needs students, isn’t over, even though the strike has ended. I recently learned that special education assistant support in my sons’ school has been cut by the district. While there’s been a lot of media coverage about how special education support (or lack thereof) affects the teachers, there’s been significantly less about how it impacts the students. So, I wanted to tell B.C. about Will, to remind people that there is a human and a financial cost to chronic underfunding. Will is my son. He is six years old, and a proud Grade 2 student at James McKinney Elementary School in Richmond. He is also autistic, and, when he was four, was diagnosed as profoundly intellectually disabled. In short, he’s the kind of kid who, without resources, is supposed to make the entire class unteachable. Except that Will attends McKinney, which is an exceptional school full of exceptional people. The principal, Mr. Osadchy, embodies the principles of servant-leadership that so many business schools try and fail to
For those who see the world only in dollars and cents, the lifetime costs of supporting a severely impacted autistic individual in Canada are around $5.5 million. teach. Will’s teachers, Mrs. Cheung, Ms. Leung, and Ms. Gourlay, have taught both Will and his classmates how to be together in a community, never losing faith that this child could learn, never hesitating to give of their talents and time for him. And his aide, Ms. Cabot, has been nothing short of a miracle to our family, working tirelessly and creatively to see Will reach his potential. And this has all happened in an exemplary community of students and parents, who have been not just tolerant, but kind and inclusive, teaching Will to play and to belong, and never treating him as anything but a classmate and friend. Will’s education has required resources beyond his typical
classmates. But, in the short years from Kindergarten to Grade 2, he’s gone from a non-verbal child to one who can read, write, and do math, who plays with friends and goes to birthday parties. His pediatrician now predicts an entirely normal life for him. For those who see the world only in dollars and cents, the lifetime costs of supporting a severely impacted autistic individual in Canada are around $5.5 million. Due in large part to the efforts of these exceptional educators, Will can grow up to be a contributing Canadian taxpayer, instead of requiring lifetime disability support. But even exceptional people can do only so much without resources. The aide that Will’s school has lost is not just a budget line item—that aide is some child’s chance to overcome and succeed. We save thousands now to potentially spend millions later; it’s the kind of short-term political thinking that can only be described as short-sighted. B.C. deserves better, our kids deserve better, and all the Wills out there definitely deserve better. Darra L. Hofman Richmond
14% of Richmond respondents do not have a family doctor Editor: Re: “Richmond has ‘room for improvement,’ says study,� Sept. 30. While we were disappointed to learn that respondents to the recent Conference Board of Canada study rated access to GPs in Richmond a D, we were not surprised. Preliminary results from our Richmond community survey demonstrate that 14% of respondents do not have a family physician and would like to have one. In demographical terms, 27,000 Richmond residents are currently without a family physician. As a non-profit organization comprised of 140 family physicians in Richmond, the Richmond Division of Family Practice is concerned about the various challenges we face in our local primary care system and is working to improve access to and quality of primary care in our community. Our community survey was part of the first phase of our work on A GP for Me, a province-wide joint initiative of the Government of British Columbia and doctors of B.C. that aims to build capacity in
the primary care system so that British Columbians who want a family doctor will be able to get one. We are currently undertaking a comprehensive assessment of strengths and gaps in the local primary care system, as well as other factors influencing primary care such as demographics, community needs and physician capacity. This will guide our development of an evidence-based proposal by January 2015 seeking two years funding for areas of work based on the initiative’s goals and the community’s needs. We are consulting with a range of partners, including the Vancouver Coastal Health, specialist physicians, the City of Richmond and community organizations. We will also be holding community consultation meetings in November to discuss the results of our findings. If you would like to share your insights or ideas as to how we can improve the current state of primary care in Richmond we would welcome your input.

Councillor says 3% annual tax hike should not be automatic Editor: Re: “Stop the tax hike proponent had chance to stop it,� Letters, Oct. 22. I want to thank Linda McPhail for the opportunity to respond about my support for Richmond Community Coalition’s commitment to stop the 15% tax hike over the next five years. The vote she mentions was a one-time tax break put forward in an election year. The so-called “cut� Coun. McPhail talks about was to the 1% earmarked for the capital reserve,
which will have to be made up, by increasing taxes or borrowing, when we need it for a capital project. I didn’t vote for that deferment plan because I wanted a real plan that would deal with the full 15% tax hike, not just as a one-off and not just in an election year. I agree with my council colleague and coalition running mate, Ken Johnston, who publicly stated during the budget debate the 3% per year tax hike should not be automatic. Coun. Chak Au Richmond
Will they ever learn to listen? Editor: I have to fully agree with most of the letter from Mr. Scott Stewart (“City politicians will have a profound effect on the direction of Richmond), however, one interesting point he makes is that he suggests that we “contact our city officials to answer our questions, and make them work for our vote.� I have been asking our city officials two specific questions over the last few years, and not one of them have taken time to reply to these questions, so I’m not sure that they will change their ways, as I just sent them a letter in the last four weeks, and oncxe again I am waiting
for just one city official to call me. The questions I keep posing are: t5IF CJHHFTU DPTU XF have at the city is ‘salaries and benefits’, what are you going to reduce this? t8IBU JT UIF PCKFDUJWF of this ‘over’ development within our city? Most folks I talk with are disgusted with the multiple high rises going up in our downtown core etc, and I certainly
read enough comments in our local papers from folks that have the same feeling. However it would be a first  if any city official was to listen to the local community. From my perspective I am hoping that we clean house in the November election, and we get some fresh faces with fresh ideas. David Currie Richmond

Emergency room personnel give quality care Editor: On Friday evening, I accompanied a 16-year-old soccer player to the Richmond Hospital emergency room. While playing soccer, she had fallen on her ankle and it was incredibly painful and swollen. We arrived at 7:45 p.m. and I was
anticipating a long wait. However, this was not the case as the entire length of our hospital stay was only 2 hours and 15 minutes! During this time the patient was admitted, thoroughly examined, given x-rays (yes - the ankle was broken) and treated. We left with
crutches, a cast and an appointment for the bone clinic. I was extremely impressed with the efficient and quality care we received. Thank you Emergency Room staff for a job well done. Gillian Partridge Richmond

Less cross-border shopping to aid merchants by Jeff Nagel Black Press The falling Canadian dollar may bring a merrier Christmas for local merchants and other small businesses by spurring B.C.’s legions of avid cross-border shoppers to instead spend their money at home. Over the last two years the loonie has slid from $1.02 U.S. to around 88 cents and the decline has been close to 10 per cent from one year ago, when the Canadian dollar stood at 97 cents to the greenback. “With the Canadian dollar being rock bottom it certainly
makes any kind of retail prices in Vancouver look relatively more attractive,” SFU marketing professor Lindsay Meredith said. “A 12 per cent spread is a big number. That should certainly work in favour of the Canadian retailers.” Canadian governments will also benefit by collecting more in sales tax, but Meredith said consumers will be the losers – whether they opt to pay the generally higher retail and wholesale markups in Canada or the higher exchange rate on their purchases in the U.S. But he noted consumers should have a bit more money left in their pockets to spend this holiday season as a result of cheaper gasoline in the wake of the global drop in oil prices. B.C.’s economy will also benefit in other ways from the

lower dollar. Besides making American imports more costly against Canadian products, B.C.-based exporters will benefit – particularly the forest industry. “That can lead to more employment and more money to spend in retail,” Meredith said.
Then there are the tourism operators, who struggled to get Americans to come north when the loonie was riding high and their money didn’t go as far. B.C. is now a bargain destination from the U.S. point of view. “Operations like Whistler Blackcomb are loving this,” Meredith said. “And it’s perfect timing for the ski season.” Even the panic over Ebola may actually be good news for Main Street B.C. if some winter vacationers decide it’s getting riskier to fly. The deadly virus is likely to crimp demand for flights not just to Africa but also to Europe and prime snowbird destinations in the southern U.S., Meredith said. “If that money stays home it’s more likely to be spent here.”

Province legislates rates for container truckers by Jeff Nagel Black Press The province has introduced legislation aimed at stabilizing the turbulent container trucking business and avoid a repeat of last spring’s strike that disrupted goods shipping through Port Metro Vancouver. The legislation extends minimum rates to more of the container truck fleet, plugging holes left by a previous failed federal attempt at rate regulation. The provincial move dovetails with the port’s announcement a week ago that it will bring in a new licence system and reduce the number of trucks licensed to serve port terminals. Container truck drivers have long complained of low pay as a result of the sector’s fiercely competitive players constantly undercutting each other. Part of the problem is the 2,000 trucks licensed to haul from container terminals amount to too many drivers chasing too little work. The new system is expected to make it harder and costlier to be in port trucking, spurring some of the less
responsible firms to move on to other lines of work. Past efforts to regulate rates only applied to about 20 per cent of the region’s container trucks and they didn’t apply at all to so-called “off-dock” rates for moving containers between various warehouses. As a results, some drivers were paid the regulated $100 a trip to pick up from a port terminal, but only $15 for off-dock hauling of containers between other sites. The provincial law will require trucking firms that serve the port terminals to also pay regulated rates to drivers for the off-dock trips. A new container trucking commissioner will regulate truck licensing and enforce rates, as well as wait time compensation and fuel surcharges. “We are confident this legislation will establish fair working conditions in this sector as well as allow Port Metro Vancouver to increase its efficiency and reliability as a world-class port,” Transportation Minister Todd Stone said. Unionized truckers had warned over the summer another strike was possible if the province failed to take action. FEATURING:

Mountie pleads guilty to breach of trust Ex-CFLer Kenrick Vernon Whitney appeared in Richmond court by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Suspended Richmond Mountie Kenrick Vernon Whitney has pled guilty to breach of trust in Richmond provincial court. Whitney appeared Tuesday to face four criminal charges: two counts of theft and two counts of breach of trust by a public officer. Whitney was suspended from duty in June of 2013 and had his police identification and sidearm seized. Then in February of 2014, the RCMP suspended him without pay â&#x20AC;&#x153;given the seriousness of the allegations,â&#x20AC;? RCMP Chief Supt. Brian Cantera said. Richmond RCMP have not released details about the allegations that have been made against Whitney. According to the Vancouver Sun, this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first time that Whitney has found himself on the wrong side of the law. A former CFL player and night club bouncer, Whitney managed to keep his job as a police officer, despite a pair of assault allegations.

Fog and insufficient use of navigational aids are among the reasons a container ship briefly ran aground inside the mouth of the Fraser River earlier this year, according to the Transportation Safety Board. The 220-metre Cap Blanche was carrying more than 800 containers from Tacoma and had just begun heading up the river to its destination, Fraser Surrey Docks, when it began to turn too quickly and grounded on a silty section of Steveston Bend. There were no injuries or pollution reported and the crew was able to use

thrusters and engine movements to refloat the vessel on the rising tide 30 minutes later. Reduced visibility of 150 metres due to fog meant the pilot should have frequently cross-checked the vesselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position and course using multiple navigational aids, rather than just one, the federal report said. The GPS position predictor that was used was less accurate than usual because it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t connected to a high quality mobile antenna the pilot normally used, but did not bring that trip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a navigator relies on a single piece of navigational equipment, there is a risk that potential errors or inaccuracies will go undetected,â&#x20AC;? the report found. The report also notes silting of the lower Fraser River reduced the width of the navigable channel at Steveston Bend, something the pilot knew but did not tell the non-local crew, who might have helped

spot trouble. Another container ship had previously grounded at the Fraserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrance in 2003. Independent Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington called Thursday for the province to lead a long-term dredging plan for the lower Fraser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This economic engine is dependent on continued, safe navigation. And safe navigation is absolutely dependent on dredging,â&#x20AC;? she said. The provincial and federal governments previously provided $10 million in 2012 for one-time dredging of secondary channels, including Steveston and Ladner harbours. But Huntington said more is needed to ensure the working harbours arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t left high and dry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The value of the Fraser River to B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy demands ongoing sediment control.â&#x20AC;?
City staff have reviewed concerns about the crumb rubber granules used in artificial turf fields, but is going ahead with plans to use them in the new Minoru artificial turf sports field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Following a staff review of the concerns raised, we are proceeding with the project as planned,â&#x20AC;? said City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The crumb rubber-recycled truck tire product is the present industry standard and we have not bee advised of any verified health hazards from using the product.â&#x20AC;?
Townsend said the city look at alternative types of infill, including Nike Grind, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;found...no evidence that the Nike Grind material is safer than the industry standard crumb rubber.â&#x20AC;? The city also looked at combing the use of crumb rubber with Nike Grind but â&#x20AC;&#x153;determined that it was not a viable option.â&#x20AC;? Townsend added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The current project is already 100 per cent tendered and nearing completion.â&#x20AC;? The field is scheduled to be phased open during the month of November, with the local soccer association, Richmond FC, already scheduling practices and games there in the coming weeks.
Concerns about crumb rubber, which contain known carcinogens, were raised in an NBC News investigation that focused on a Washington State soccer coach who had two goalkeepers come down with cancer. The coach compiled a list of three dozen soccer players who were diagnosed with cancer, all but two of whom were goalkeepers. The concern focused on the use of the crumb rubber, which comprises recycled car tires, which contain carcinogens at low levels, including arsenic, benzene, cadmium, nickel and mercury.

New Loblaws CityMarket caters to ‘food enthusiasts’ Superstore owner opens new franchise on former Fantasy Gardens site by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond’s newest food retailer will mark its entry into the local grocery market Friday. Loblaws CityMarket will cel-
ebrate its grand opening Oct. 31 at 12339 Steveston Hwy. The location, previously home to Fantasy Gardens, is part of the Townline Homes development The Gardens. Boasting a modern design and upscale food offerings, the 35,000-square-foot franchise will cater to the Shellmont neighbourhood, soon home to hundreds of new apartment-dwellers. The store has 300 underground parking spaces, and is similar to the Loblaw Companies Ltd. franchise opened in
North Vancouver last year. “Since we opened our North Vancouver CityMarket, it has become a food haven,” said Derrick Pittman, vice-president of Loblaws, in a news release. “We’ve seen a real excitement growing around fresh foods from our Lower Mainland customers and we’re responding to that enthusiasm by bringing specialty offerings, superior premium foods and a team of colleagues with a strong knowledge of food.” See Page 12

Growth in discount grocery market From Page 11 Inside the Richmond location shoppers will find a three-metre-high wall of 350 cheeses, a bakery and patisserie, sushi made in store, a juice bar and a selection of ready-to-eat meals. That, along with organic produce and an on-site dietician, make the store quite unlike the company’s discount retailer Superstore on No. 3 Road. Rob Gerlsbeck, editor of Canadian Grocer magazine, said there’s been significant growth in the discount grocery store market since the recession of 2008—opening the door for other stores to offer customers something new. “To be different, and to really capitalize on people’s interest in food and love
for food, grocery stores are changing their environment,” said Gerlsbeck. “If you want to save a lot of money you go to the discount store, but if you want something better and something really neat and you want an experience, you go to these stores.” Loblaw is following an industry trend in offering customers convenience meals sold in an environment with similarities to a restaurant, making CityMarket a destination for “food enthusiasts who are looking for the best possible premium food experience,” the company says. It’s this interest in fresh and interesting food that the store is capitalizing on. “Food has become a bit of a sport, entertainment. Part of it is the growth
of the Food Network, the incredible amount of different types of foods that are now available in Canada,” said Gerlsbeck. “There is a real interest in fresh food. Something that isn’t in a can or a box.” Loblaws CityMarket’s opening comes a month after T&T Supermarket opened its newest Richmond store near the Richmond Olympic Oval, and four months after For Real Food Mart opened on Sexsmith Road in North Richmond. CityMarket’s neighbourhood of Shellmont has so far been served by a single grocery store—Save-On Foods at Ironwood. Friday’s opening includes a presentation of a two-and-a-half metre long sushi roll at 11 a.m., and a $25 gift card giveaway to the first 250 adult customers.

Average home will pay extra $5 to Metro Vancouver Regional district taxes rise to $427 for typical home by Jeff Nagel Black Press The average Metro Vancouver household will pay $427 in user fees and taxes to the regional district next year—an extra $5—as a result of rising utility costs. The increase was approved by the Metro board Friday and the actual household impact varies somewhat by community because of different apportionment of sewage treatment upgrade costs.
The regional district’s average charge is based on a home assessed at $715,000 and will be added to 2015 property tax bills along with municipal, school and TransLink taxes. Metro Vancouver’s $659 million operating budget for 2015 is up 0.8 per cent. About two thirds of all spending goes to running the drinking water and sewage treatment systems. Garbage tipping fees will go up $1 to $109 per tonne, but the actual charge to the average household is expected to be flat or slightly lower as a result of increased recycling and less overall disposal of garbage. However, the regional district is forecasting a $4.4 million shortfall on its waste services next year as a result of the provincial government’s
About two thirds of all spending goes to running the drinking water and sewage treatment systems. rejection of Metro’s ban on hauling waste out of region. Each additional truckload of garbage hauled out of the region to take advantage of cheaper disposal alternatives means less tipping fees collected by Metro. The drop in revenue next year will come out of a $10 million reserve fund, but board chair Greg Moore said that fund will have to be replenished.
The budget includes $7 million to advance Metro’s plan to build a new wasteto-energy plant, despite increased uncertainty as to its viability. Nearly $12 million will also be spent on upgrades at the existing incinerator in Burnaby. Much of the increased spending is to maintain, upgrade and expand the drinking water and sewage systems. Major projects that continue in 2015 include a big expansion of the Annacis Island sewage treatment plant and seismic upgrades to the drinking water supply system, including a new $240-million water supply tunnel under the Fraser River to supply growing areas of Surrey and Langley.

Matthew Hoekstra photo An all-candidates meeting Oct. 23 drew approximately 250 people to the Minoru Place Activity Centre.
Full cop complement needed, forum told Bolster force, give youth something to do, build message centres, among ideas offered by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond doesn’t need more police officers, but the RCMP does need to offer the city all the cops it asks for, a candidates forum heard last week. “I would like the RCMP to be more accountable in providing the full resources, so we can have more police—the ones we deserve—out on the street,” said Coun. Ken Johnston, who is running for re-election with the Richmond Community Coalition. Through its contract with the province, Richmond is authorized to have a complement of 202 officers—including 10 senior officers. Of the 192 cops on the street, 187 are in place, with a few on extended leave for various reasons, according to city spokesperson Ted Townsend. The city also has additional officers at YVR, and provides funding for regional police teams. At the Oct. 23 forum at Minoru Place Activity Centre, candidates weighed in on whether Richmond needs more cops. Sal Bhullar, running with Johnston on the Richmond Com-
munity Coalition slate, said she’s not prepared pay more tax to expand the police force: “I think what we should do is explore options, where it isn’t going to cost us any extra money.” Richmond First candidate Andy Hobbs—a retired Vancouver cop—agreed policing is a “very expensive option” to combat crime, suggesting existing positions be filled first, and ensuring they’re used as effectively as possible. “The way to do that is with the community. Community partnerships are the key to having the police be successful, things like Block Watch, things like community policing stations are fully staffed with volunteers,” said Hobbs. Policing has become a hot-button issue of the campaign, as Richmond has seen some crime rates jump this year, particularly property crime. One example is in theft from vehicles. At the end of August, police recorded 1,694 thefts so far this year—a 74 per cent jump from the same period last year. Residential break-ins have also increased 9.5 per cent. Coun. Harold Steves, the lone council candidate with Richmond Citizens Association, said he hopes the RCMP’s new Lower Mainland District commander, Dan Malo, will fix the problem of insufficient staffing. “Otherwise,” said Steves, “we’re going to have to look at our own police force.” Quitting the RCMP and forming its own police force is something Richmond has studied before. Two years ago, city council ordered a fresh study on the possibility of going it alone

while contracting specialized police units from another city. The study is ongoing. RITE Richmond, meanwhile, is advocating for physical “message centres” in Richmond’s neighbourhoods, where police and neighbours could post crime information. “We have to all work together as a community, but the only way that’s going to happen is if we break it down into smaller communities,
and get a sense of pride and ownership for the places we live,” said candidate Carol Day. Renew Richmond candidate Adil Awan suggested the root causes of crime be addressed. “A lot of this is youth. They’ve got nothing to do,” said Awan, suggesting youth be informed of “other avenues, other entertainment value available, besides breaking into somebody’s car.”

Provincial hammer may force cities into IHIT No move afoot to regionalize police forces by Jeff Nagel Black Press The B.C. government is readying a legislative hammer that could force holdout cities to join integrated regional policing units that investigate murders and other crimes across multiple jurisdictions. A Police Act amendment tabled in the Legislature last week would empower the province to compel Metro Vancouver cities like Vancouver, Delta and West Vancouver to join and help fund the Integrated Homi-
cide Investigation Team rather than use separate municipal homicide squads. RIchmond, which is served by the RCMP, is a member of IHIT. The move also follows the collapse of a regional crime unit in Greater Victoria, which, like the Lower Mainland, is policed by a patchwork of separate municipal police forces and RCMP detachments. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said no decisions have been made when asked if she intends to require universal participation in IHIT or other integrated units. Anton stressed she wants to work with cities, not force change on them. “It is a hammer but it’s not intended to be used as a hammer,” Anton
said. “Most of the time you want this to be done cooperatively, not by the minister requiring it.” Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said her main concerns with compulsory IHIT membership would be the significant increased cost as well as the potential loss of top Delta Police investigators who would then spend most of their time working elsewhere in the region. Missing Women Inquiry Commissioner Wally Oppal in 2012 recommended the creation of a full regional police force, suggesting one would have caught serial killer Robert Pickton years earlier, saving the lives of some of his victims. Oppal’s report warned further use
of integrated teams would merely “prop up a broken system.” But the province counters it has made significant changes to policing in response to the inquiry, including the launch this year of a new 24-hour Real Time Intelligence Centre that pools information and coordinates the response in the critical early hours of a fresh investigation. Anton said she’s not looking at full police regionalization right now, but she is “very interested” in speaking to municipalities that are voluntarily interested in amalgamating their police forces into a partial regional or sub-regional force. The province’s main reform focus has been on expanding use of inte-
grated teams to take advantage of specialized officers and equipment and ensure a co-ordinated response to crime that crosses municipal, provincial or international borders. SFU criminologist Rob Gordon, an advocate of regional policing, said he doesn’t expect any dramatic move from the province to merge forces. “Quite clearly the government at this point has no appetite for doing what Wally Oppal recommended they do in the two metropolitan areas and particularly in Metro Vancouver,” he said. “So this inefficient and balkanized policing system we have will continue.”

community Return of the snow geese A sure sign of fall in Richmond is a skein of snow geese on the west dike. Each fall, up to 100,000 of the white birds fly 4,000 kilometres to the Fraser River delta to escape their frigid winter home in Wrangel Island, Russia. By year’s end, many of the birds head farther south to the Skagit delta before returning here in the spring en route to their Russian home. Clare Scott photo

Have fun with fungi at Richmond Nature Park’s mushroom show Richmond Nature Park is hosting a Wild Mushroom Show this Sunday, Nov. 2 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mushrooms are found in abundance this time of year and members of the Vancouver Mycological Society will be on hand to help the public identify mystery mushrooms and show examples of common toadstools. They will also discuss the dangers of sampling wild fungi. Mushrooms are neither plant nor animal.
Since mushrooms cannot produce their own energy so they have developed many ways to steal it from other life forms. Some thrive on decay by releasing acids and enzymes to breakdown dead tissue while others have a fascinating and beneficial relationship with trees and other plants. A few are even parasitic and eventually kill their host plant. Admission to the show is by donation, with pro-
ceeds supporting nature education programs. Before or after the event, take a stroll through the nature park trails to look for the variety of mushrooms found in the bog setting. For more information on the Richmond Nature Park’s annual Wild Mushroom Show, call 604-718-6188 or visit www.richmond.ca/ parksprograms. Richmond Nature Park is located at 11851 Westminster Hwy.

bing.com image Metro Vancouver’s existing incinerator in south Burnaby burns 280,000 tonnes of garbage a year and sells electricity into the BC Hydro grid.
Metro incinerator estimates too rosy: report Up to $1.3b gap flagged in study funded by landfill firm by Jeff Nagel Black Press Metro Vancouver’s business case to build a second garbage incinerator grossly overestimates electricity revenue and underestimates the project’s costs, according to a report paid for by one of the plan’s biggest critics. It estimates the net costs could be $800 million to $1.3 billion higher than Metro has estimated over the 35-year life of the new waste-to-energy plant. The analysis was conducted by consulting firm ICF International and commissioned by waste disposal firm Belkorp Environmental Services, which stands to lose business if a new incinerator is built. Belkorp operates the Cache Creek landfill – which Metro aims to stop using – and has proposed to build a material recovery facility in Coquitlam that it says could sort more recyclables from what is otherwise garbage. Metro has assumed BC Hydro will pay $100 per megawatthour for the power that would be generated over the full life
of the project, but the ICF report warns BC Hydro might renegotiate a much lower rate in 15 years, after Metro pays off its capital investment. If the power price drops at that point to $43 per megawatthour – which Metro now receives at its existing Burnaby incinerator – electricity revenues would shrink by $362 million, the report said. “One of the really heroic assumptions is the price of electricity that they are going to receive from BC Hydro,” ICF report lead author Seth Hulkower told Coquitlam council Monday. ICF’s estimate of the lifetime project costs are also 18 per cent higher than Metro’s and it also adds a 15 per cent contingency for operations and maintenance. Its “downside scenario” estimate of a $1.3-billion cost overrun makes bleaker assumptions than Metro and assumes the regional district must sell electricity on the open market without any fixed price guarantee from BC Hydro. Metro officials say their business case does not necessarily reflect what the final waste-to-energy project may be. One project proponent – Lehigh Cement – proposes to retrofit its Delta cement plant to use garbage as fuel, replacing coal and tires it now burns. “It doesn’t need to sell electricity at all,” Metro board chair Greg Moore said. The cement plant option may also have considerably lower capital costs than the estimate of around $500 million for an
all-new plant. Other scenarios could see a new waste-to-energy plant located near a densifying urban area where steam could heat surrounding buildings in a district energy system, instead of being converted to electricity for sale. “It’s not shocking that this report comes from the largest private landfill operator that wants to continue operating their business as a landfill,” Moore said. Metro’s current plan calls for construction of a new waste-toenergy plant to take up to 370,000 tonnes per year of garbage, an amount it estimates will still require disposal if the region’s recycling rate climbs from 60 per cent to 70 per cent. But the regional district is expected to re-evaluate its plans in light of the province’s rejection of Bylaw 280, which tried to ban the hauling of garbage out of Metro. Belkorp vice-president Russ Black said he hopes more mayors and councils around the region push the Metro board to place a moratorium on the incinerator plan in light of the ICF findings. Councils in Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Coquitlam and Port Moody have previously supported a moratorium. Black said it’s “completely false” to suggest Belkorp’s aim is to keep taking Metro garbage to its Cache Creek landfill by defeating the incinerator, pointing instead to its NextUse subsidiary’s plan to sort recyclables from garbage. – with files from Gary McKenna
B.C. legislature to declare annual Terry Fox Day by Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government is preparing to declare the second Sunday of September Terry Fox Day, recognizing the annual Marathon of Hope events around the world that raise money for cancer research. Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA Linda Reimer presented a private member’s bill Thursday
to recognize the day the annual runs have been held since 1980, when Fox embarked on a cross-country run that was cut short by a relapse of cancer. As a student at Simon Fraser University, Reimer recalled seeing Fox run around the campus quadrangle and wondering what he was training for. “It honours a great man whose combination of strength, passion, idealism and sheer guts
led to the impossible notion that he would run across Canada on one good leg and a prosthesis, the equivalent of a marathon a day,” Reimer told the legislature. Premier Christy Clark said Reimer’s bill is expected to pass with unanimous support next week. She met with Terry’s father Rolly, sister Judith and brothers Darrell and Fred in her office Thursday to speak to reporters. Darrell Fox said the declaration will encour-
age volunteers who organize Terry Fox runs, who have raised $650 million in the past 34 years. “That’s why we’re so excited, because it gives them something to look forward to, to promote next year, and the fact that it has happened here in B.C.,” he said. “Terry Fox is everywhere, across this country and around the world, but he was from Port Coquitlam.”

Claudia Silver to the Rescue tackles issues both frothy and dark
I
didn’t have high hopes when I started reading Claudia Silver to the Rescue by Kathy Ebel, because it was a bit slow out of the gate.
Book Club
Shelley Civkin
Luckily I persevered, and this debut novel turned out to be a really funny and engaging novel with great characters. Claudia Silver is a newly minted university graduate who is trying desperately to make her way in New York. Leaving behind her dysfunctional family and cold, sarcastic mother Edith, Claudia tries her best to escape the past and
make a life for herself. Working as a Girl Friday, whose most important task of the day is fetching sandwiches for staff, Claudia is bored, careless and impulsive. Not particularly adept at making good decisions, she embarks on a short-lived and extremely reckless fling, and guess what? She’s summarily fired by her boss. Lying to her roommate Bronwyn—the rich girl with not a care in the world—Claudia pretends that nothing has happened. As her bank account dwindles precariously, she has another surprise on the horizon. Her 16-year old
sister Phoebe has come to town seeking shelter from her mother’s slimy live-in boyfriend, Robbie. So, twentysomething Claudia becomes her sister’s unlikely guardian, and the charade continues. Leaving every morning to roam the streets of Manhattan, Claudia desperately needs to keep up the illusion that she’s gainfully employed so that her sister doesn’t think she’s a burden. Luckily Claudia has a go-for-it attitude, believing that “Destiny already exists…and we make our way toward it, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.”
you in a firestorm.” By the end of the story, Claudia and Phoebe’s topsy-turvy lives turn around, order is restored, reconciliation is served up on a slightly tarnished silver platter, and readers can smell forgiveness in the air. Tackling issues both frothy and dark, Ebel is incredibly successful; especially considering this is her first novel. I’ll be eagerly looking forward to more from her.
Along the way, and true to form, Claudia screws up again by having an affair with someone VERY close to her best friend, Bronwyn. And if things aren’t complicated enough, under-age Phoebe gets connected with a shady guy who wants to make her into a model. As the tension and blunders ramp up, so does the humour, and author Kathy Ebel has it going on big time. Exhibit A, her description of Claudia’s mother, Edith: “There was a way in which Edith loved and respected all humanity, while remaining unlikely to pee on

Ravens fly high at Pacific Coast Classic All three of Richmond’s top rep teams reach finals at elite girls’ hockey tournament by Don Fennell Sports Editor Richmond Ravens may not win every game, but they’ll always be competiive thanks to a concentrated development program adopted early in the history of the local girls’ hockey association that centres on the growth of each player in a collective format. The ongoing success of the philosophy is continuously borne out in collective and individual triumphs, and most recently in the fact all three of its A1 teams reached the final in their respective age divisions at last weekend’s Pacific Coast Classic, a rep tournament started a year ago by the Ravens to help further grow interest and appreciation in female hockey. “From a hockey development perspective, I was extremely impressed by the performance of our rep teams,” said Ravens’ development director Tony Lindsay, who was at the forefront of introducing the new tournament which draws the top clubs from throughout B.C. and nearby Washington and Alberta. Lindsay said not only were the Ravens teams competitive in all their games, but noted the Peewee A2 team, the only A2 entry in the tournament, also played well. “We have placed a particularly strong emphasis on skill development the past five years and we are really seeing the benefits now,” he said. Lindsay said the 2014 tournament built on the success of last year’s inaugural event by attracting even more top teams, while maintaining a vision of a first-class, competitive rep tournament in a first-class venue (Richmond Olympic Oval). “The games were very competitive, the skill level extremely high, and the games were played in an atmosphere of sportsmanship and respect,” he said. “The feedback we received from the visiting teams was that they could hardly wait until next year’s event.” Lindsay wore two hats at the tournament, also taking his place at the bench as head coach of the Ravens’ Bantam A1 team which lost the final in heartbreaking fashion, 3-2 in overtime to the Surrey Falcons, on Sunday. The teams have established a competitive and healthy rivalry, and recently joined forces in Hockey Canada’s “longest game” initiative at the Richmond Olympic Oval. The Ravens dominated the Falcons in their two tournament meetings, with Jenna Ehling shutting out the latter in round-robin play. Only great goaltending by her Falcons’ counterpart prevented Richmond from a second win in the championship game. See Page 28

sports Kicker Docherty keeps Clan close
Tiernan Docherty did his best to help give the Simon Fraser University Clan a chance at victory last weekend. The kicker from Richmond booted a 26-yard field goal to cut an early first-quarter deficit, and later briefly put the Clan ahead with another threepoint effort. But in the end it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, as
the Clan lost their Great Northwest Athletic Conference football tilt 27-16 Saturday at the Western Oregon Wolves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The weather was a factor and with the lead at halftime that we had, I really thought we could take the extra possession in the second half and try to build on our lead, which we did not do un-
fortunately,â&#x20AC;?Clan head coach Jacques Chapdelaine said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we could have built on our lead that would have made them play one dimensional football in the fourth quarter.â&#x20AC;? The Clan (2-6 overall) plays its final three games at home, starting Saturday versus Humbolt State at Swangard Stadium. Kickoff is 1 p.m.
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Focus on process, not resultâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; From Page 26
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of the strength of our team, it is a challenge for Jenna to get into a rhythm,â&#x20AC;? said Lindsay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, to date, no team has exceeded 15 shots against us. For Jenna, this means she needs to work hard to stay mentally focused so that she is ready when the shots do come. During the game, she needs to visualize making saves and be active in following and analyzing the play. It is difficult, but she is doing a great job. I was very happy for her. She played consistently well during the tournament.â&#x20AC;? As a team, the tournament provided the Bantam Ravens with their first stretch of games to â&#x20AC;&#x153;really start to gel and develop some consistency,â&#x20AC;? said Lindsay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have challenged the girls to think about the game in different ways, try new things, and be willing to make mistakes,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This weekend we really saw the girls buy into this, and they executed many things we have been practicing for the past seven weeks. I tell the girls all the time to focus on the process, not the result, and this weekend was a great example of that philosophy in action. The championship game was the best we have played all season, and while we are all disappointed in the result we are very happy with the performance and development of the team.â&#x20AC;? Lindsay said the Pacific Coast Classic was a great opportunity for the Bantam Ravens to prepare for another competitive tournament in Kamloops in two weeks time. He said his team learned from the Classic how challenging it is, both mentally and physically, to play in a top-level event. At the same time, he added, they understand how much work is still needed to achieve their collective goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Talking with the girls after the final, however, one things was clear,â&#x20AC;? said Linday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are more determined that ever to keep getting better.â&#x20AC;? t'PS UIF .JEHFU TUPSZ TFF QBHF

T
he 27 finalists in nine categories for the Richmond Chamber of Commerce’s Business Excellence Awards will be announced tomorrow during a special reception at Sheraton Vancouver Airport hosted by the Business Development Bank of Canada. The winners will be revealed at the 37th annual awards on Nov. 27 at the River Rock Show Theatre, with Man About Town Fred Lee emceeing the event for the third time. Craig Jones, executive director of the chamber, said more than 75 nominations were received this year, which highlights the quality, diversity and depth of the local business community. And as seems to be the case every year, selecting the finalists was a major challenge. This year’s crop of exceptional local business nominees is the fruit of a bustling city, Jones said, one that continues to grow, and has a lot going for it. Richmond is literally well placed to succeed in the coming years, thanks to its proximity to the Vancouver International Airport, the Vancouver Port and the U.S. border, its location as the Gateway to the burgeoning economies in the Far East, including China, and the placement of the Canada Line down the heart of the city’s core. In its role as the voice for the business community, chamber spokesperson Matt Pitcairn said the chamber must continue to advocate for improved transportation, considering the city figures to grow by tens of thousands of residents in the coming decades, which will place more pressure on local roadaways. Meanwhile, industrial lands and farms also need to be saved, the latter being near and dear to the organization’s roots, with the Richmond Chamber of Commerce originally founded by local farmers. Planning for the needs of the future will be a

Fred Lee will host the Business Excellence Awards at River Rock. ROB NEWELL key to Richmond’s continued prosperity. As the city’s population swells, and more pressure is exerted on converting commercial and industrial land into multi-family townhouses and condos— as is currently the case on No. 3 Road, north of Westminster Highway—Jones said it’s imperative that commercial and office space be built for displaced and new businesses. After all, more local residents means more local shoppers for food, products and services, and more opportunities for entrepreneurs, he said. Pitcairn said the Business Excellence Awards are a great event at which the general public can better connect with their community and the people behind

the businesses they frequent. “There’s a lot to be proud of, and it’s an honour to showcase them,” Pitcairn said. Jones complimented the efforts of Brian Cole and Nancy Jung and their team for doing a fine job of vetting the nominees and helping with all the work that goes into the annual awards. The Business Excellence Awards are on Thursday, Nov. 27, with the no-host reception beginning at 5:30 p.m., with the dinner and awards show starting at 6:45 p.m. and the on-stage presentations at 8 p.m. Since 1977, the chamber, in partnership with the City of Richmond, has paid tribute to the business community with the awards.

Richmond Business Owners Voice Their Opinions leading up to Civic Elections
O
n October 21, Chamber members were asked to complete a survey responding to some basic questions regarding the central issues of concern to them as we approach the November 15th election. Responses were collected anonymously until 12:00am October 28th. Respondents were keenly aware of the issues, and planning to vote. 94% of respondents were aware of the election and 91% plan to cast a ballot. When asked, “What do you see as the most important issues for you and your business in the upcoming Municipal Election?” Traffic congestion and real estate development topped the list of concerns, with multiculturalism and public safety not of particular import for our
respondents. Furthermore, 59% of those who took the survey believe businesses should have a vote in municipal elections, 29% believe it would be unnecessary and 12% are undecided on the matter. If you think business would like a vote in order to shift the burden of property tax, you might be wrong. 68% of our respondents do not believe the business property tax negatively impacts their business. The full survey can still be accessed at www. richmondchamber.ca, with full results being published there this week. Results of an all-candidates survey currently be conducted by the Richmond Chamber will be available in the coming weeks.

Two hours of your time could save a life.
Respondents were also asked to add their thoughts to the question, “What could local government do to better support business?” Some of their responses are below: “Focus commercial development along No. 3 Road to support a vibrant business district, rather than the dated big box retail paired with empty high density residential developments.” “Ensure that employees can easily access their workplaces and that the services required for employees and their families that live in Richmond have access to healthcare. Development of residential is going to exceed the capacity for health services much quicker than they think it will.” “Offer incentives to increase the number of businesses locating in Richmond. There are so many vacant ofÀce spaces and companies are moving out of Richmond faster than they are moving in.” “We need an industrial base to provide manufacturing and job creation.”

sports Eagles looking to future Though his team lost the game, Kwantlen Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first-year forward Justin Turner-Pearceâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s efforts didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go unnoticed. Pearce was named player of the match in a 2-0 loss to Quest University Kermodes Sunday at the Pacific Western Athletic Association provincial menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college soccer championships in Squamish. While the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2014 post-season record ended at 0-2, the team enjoyed a strong campaign
that earned them a spot in the nationally-ranked top 15 for the entire regular season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We built on what we started last season...putting focus on creating a cohesive and hard-working unit,â&#x20AC;? said coach Aleksandr Borojevic. Turner-Pearce was one of five Richmond players on the team. The others were goalkeepers Kevin Monk and Ashbir Paul and midfielders Anthony McCullough and Rylan Sangha.

Hugh Boyd surprise of high school gridiron Undefeated Trojans hosting Holy Cross Crusaders Halloween night by Don Fennell Sports Editor When Bill Haddow peers over the lineup of the 2014 edition of the Hugh Boyd Trojans, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s captivated by the diversity in ages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an interesting mix of kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;five Grade 12s, 13 Grade 11s and six Grade 10s,â&#x20AC;? he says of the Richmond-based high school football team he co-coaches with his brother Bruce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had a group like this, with players from all three grades contributing in important roles and positions.â&#x20AC;? Unexpectedly, the Trojans are one of the good surprise stories of this condensed gridiron campaign. Not only do they head into this Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against the Holy Cross Crusaders (5:30 p.m. kickoff at Hugh Boyd Park) undefeated, but have won each of the four games by impressive marginsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;most recently blanking Burnaby Central Wildcats 39-0 in the lone exhibition game here last week. But Haddow at least has a theory to explain their success to date. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are staying focused on the game at hand,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the shortened season, we have tried to make each game a significant event and for them to approach it as such.â&#x20AC;? Haddow admits their success has been a bit of a surprise, but quickly points out that the team does boast a number of very good athletesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and more importantly good football players with a lot of experience despite the majority being in Grades 10 and 11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We may have caught a couple of programs
Don Fennell photo Hugh Boyd Trojansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; co-head coach Bill Haddow says the Richmond high school â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s current senior football team is unique. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had a group like this...,â&#x20AC;? he says.
on down years, but we have taken care of our business as it has been presented to us. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all that can be asked,â&#x20AC;? he says.
Haddow says the Trojans have also been fortunate to stay relatively healthy, despite the kids playing a lot of minutes due to a small roster. And when starters have picked up an injury here or there, others have stepped up so that the team hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t missed a beat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And, sometimes, these have been kids who are not experienced,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alex Whitlock, for example, is a kid who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of football experience, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to use him in a couple of key positions on both sides of the ball.â&#x20AC;? Haddow isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prepared to call this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game with Holy Cross the biggest test of the year, but does say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest test this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like I said, we want to make sure the guys view each game as the biggest,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And with Holy Cross fighting for their playoff lives, they should be fired up. But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll prepare like we always do. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look at video and break down their tendencies. Most of all, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work hard at practice. I expect us to be prepared and play hard.â&#x20AC;? Haddow, though, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but be pleased with the Trojans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing exactly what we are asking of them. They trust the coaching staff to put them in the best position to succeed, and they can see that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conversely, the staff is asking a lot of a number of players, including playing in different position and situations (than they may be accustomed to). So far itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working well for everyone.â&#x20AC;? Naturally, the hope is it continues.

Midget Ravens are No. 1, again by Don Fennell Sports Editor The bigger the stage, the better the Richmond Ravens seem to perform. Certainly that’s the been case in recent years with AJ Sander’s Midget Division team, which is still undefeated in the two-year history of the Pacific Coast Classic girls’rep hockey tournament after a 2-1 victory over North Island Impact in Sunday’s final at the Richmond Olympic Oval. “The girls did a good job this weekend, all of them playing hard,”said the longtime bench boss, who has watched countless graduates go on to play at a higher level, including university. “They played a team game, all contributing and understanding their roles on the team.” A testament to Sander’s coaching abilities, this year’s Midget A1 Ravens is in rebuilding mode after losing eight players to graduation last season. But they continue to enjoy success on the ice, thanks to a strong work ethic that is passed along from one edition of the Ravens to the next.

This year, Marisa Chau has the honour, and responsibility, of wearing the “C” as team captain, with Yvonne Mikulicik and Alicia Voss the alternates. All are returning players with strong leadership qualities. “They are the ones passing down the traditions and expectations to the new players,” says Sander. Mikulicik also led the way offensively during the tournament, with Briana Trottier, Emily Chau and Montana Lewis also contributing to the scoring. Sander was also elated with the Ravens’ commitment to defence, led by Kalean Baker, Voss, Samantha Gazley, Leigh Bourque and Natalie Lester. Only Baker, Voss and Alex Cafik-Irwin are back from last season’s blueline brigade. All three goaltenders have also stood tall early this season, led by Harmony Sander who started three tournament games including the final. Ruth Shiundu and Shannon Wilson are the other keepers. Coach Sander is optimistic this early-season test against top-level opposition will prove to be valuable experience as the Ravens gear up for another run at a provincial championship early next spring.

Nathan Alalouf made 27 saves in Richmond’s victory at Port Moody.
On a rare night when the league’s leading scorer was held off the scoresheet, Troy Kaczynski’s teammates picked up the slack. Reeling from back-to-back losses for the first time this season, the Richmond Sockeyes badly needed a favourable result when they visited Port Moody on Saturday night. Thanks to Matthew Bissett and Quinton Blois they got it. Bissett scored three goals, and Blois had a goal and two assists, as the Sockeyes awoke from their brief slumber to silence the Panthers 6-4 in the Pacific Junior Hockey League. The victory pulled the Sockeyes (12-3-0-1) back to within a point of Tom Shaw Conference-leading North Vancouver Wolf Pack (12-10-2) heading into this week’s action. Richmond hosts Ridge Meadows Flames (6-7) Thursday at 7 p.m.at the rink on Minoru Boulevard. After a 3-2 overtime loss to the Wolf Pack Oct. 2 in North Vancouver, giving up first place to the latter, the Sockeyes laid a proverbial egg last Thursday losing 6-4 to Mission City Outlaws at Minoru Arenas to slip three points behind the Wolf Pack in the overall standings. Just the Outlaws’ fifth win in 14 starts this season, they made the most of an uncharterstic collapse by the Sockeyes in the second period scoring three goals in a span of only 70 seconds to close out the second period leading 5-3. Richmond had opened the scoring with a first period powerplay goal by the league’s top scorer, Troy Kaczynski, who added a sec-
ond goal midway through the third period. Tyler Paterson increased Richmond’s lead to 2-0, converting a pass from Kaczynski, 28 seconds into the middle frame. But then the Outlaws took over. Bryce Pisiak scored at 11:07 to cut Richmond’s lead in half, though shortly after Ryan Jones restored the Sockeyes’ two-goal cushion on Kaczynski’s second assist of the game. But then came Ryan Sharma’s unassisted goal at 13:56 that again reduced the Sockeyes’ lead to one. Brendan Jay then scored to tie the game at 17:34, followed by goals from Landen Matechuk and Tristan Dunas exactly a minute apart at 17:44 and 18:44 to give the Outlaws a two-goal lead heading into the second intermission. Joshua Pollock extended the Outlaws’ lead to three goals at 8:30 of the third, before Kacyznski’s second goal gave the Sockeyes at least hope of a comeback. At 6-7, the Flames head into this week’s game with the Sockeyes are coming off an 8-4 loss to North Vancouver on Saturday, following three straights wins—5-0 over Port Moody on Friday, 3-2 over Abbotsford Oct. 17 and 6-5 over Aldergrove Kodiaks Oct. 10. Thursday’s game begins at 7 p.m. Despite winning in Port Moody, Richmond also struggled early in that game. After a scoreless first period, they surrendered the opening goal just 36 seconds into the middle frame when Adam Rota found the net behind Sockeyes’ starter Nathan Alalouf. But, thanks to Bissett, the deficit was shortlived as the Sockeye forward tied the game at the two-minute mark. Daniel Szpakowski restored the Panthers’ lead at 9:52 of the second period before Daniel Oakley’s unassisted goal with 2:33 remaining in the second again knotted the score. Richmond outscored Port Moody 4-2 over the final 20 minutes, with Bissett scoring twice to complete his hat trick.
Boivin’s goal stands up for undefeated Chaos A first-half goal by Erin Boivin stood up as the only one of the match as Richmond Chaos blanked their Richmond Girls’ Soccer Association clubmates, United, 1-0 Sunday at Hugh Boyd Park to remain undefeated atop the Metro Women’s Soccer League Division 3 standings. Playing out of position to compensate for injuries and illness, Boivin darted from her position as inside midfielder down the right side of the United defence, after receiving a long lead pass from left back Victoria Groff. The speedy Boivin took the pass on the
fly and dribbled for about 10 yards before getting a good shot away that eluded the United keeper. The second half was much like the first, certainly for the first 30 minutes, as the close checking prevailed. Chaos thought they might get an insurance goal, but an awarded penalty kick deflected off the crossbar. The miss seemed to energize United, and they pushed hard for an equalizer. Both teams tried to control the middle of the pitch with each leading attacks the
keepers on both sides turned back. Chaos keeper Julia Badock earned the clean sheet. Chaos (now sporting a record of six wins and a draw) are scheduled to be back on the pitch next Sunday at the Vancouver Magic (three wins, two losses and a draw). The match kicks off at 5 p.m. at Andy Livingston Park near B.C. Place. On the same day, the RGSA United (three wins and four losses) host Richmond Hodder Tugs (three wins and two losses) at Hugh Boyd Park at 9 a.m.
