The call of war Two Richmond High students enlisted late in the Second World War despite perilous odds

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

T

he narrow twolane road rises slightly over a picturesque canal in rural England, just outside a small village nearly two hours away from the capital of London. On a clear day you can see miles of green countryside.

Not much has changed here in Yelvertoft since the Second World War. Farm fields and windswept trees dominate a landscape away from Continental Europe, where tens of thousands of Canadians stood alongside their Allies on brutal battlefields to give their lives.

There’s charm in this old English village. Yelvertoft has a population of under 1,000, but still has proud institutions: a butcher, a post office, a school, three churches and the Knightley Arms—a pub and gathering place. Brick houses are built alongside each other and line the village’s main street leading to a war memorial.

On one Sunday each year,

14 names are read out at the memorial—names of men who arrived on Yelvertoft’s doorstep in 1944. It was a tragic circumstance that forever linked this tiny village to Lulu Island and two of Richmond High’s own.

Determined to enlist War has always brought death and destruction. It has always torn families apart.

But when war arrived, Canadians responded.

“We honour those who have given their lives serving Canadians and helping people of other nations.”

was at war with Germany in 1939 volunteers came from farms and from cities. They wanted to do their country proud. It was family tradition.

It was adventure. It was just the right thing to do.

Richmond teenagers Ian Myron and Ellwyn Cooper were too young to enlist at the onset of war, but they were determined to be among the one million Canadians who would join the fight for peace and freedom.

Parting of the red sea

Airport security screener avoids jail for YVR thefts Yuriy Ruvinskiy, 38, was hired by G4S to work as Canadian Air Transport Security Authority screener

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter An airport security screener won’t be spending any time behind bars for stealing from passengers as they emptied their pockets at the security gates at Vancouver International Airport earlier this year.

And if it wasn’t for a cup of coffee, the entire caper might never have been discovered.

Yuriy Ruvinskiy appeared in Richmond provincial court on Tuesday, where he was handed a series of concurrent and consecutive conditional sentences that he will serve in his own home.

All told, he’ll be spending some 360 days under house arrest, barred from leaving except to work, during a medical emergency, or during a supervised outing to shop for groceries.

Earlier this year, Ruvinskiy pled guilty to eight counts of theft under $5,000, after

originally being charged with 26 counts.

Richmond provincial court Judge David St. Pierre admonished Ruvinskiy for his massive breach of trust, before sentencing him to: t ĂśWF EBZ DPOEJUJPOBM TFOUFODFT t UXP EBZ DPOEJUJPOBM TFOUFODFT t POF EBZ DPOEJUJPOBM TFOUFODF He will also serve a one-year term of probation, is banned from going to the Vancouver International Airport, and must pay a victim surcharge totalling $800.

An investigation into Ruvinskiy was launched after an Indonesian passenger made a theft allegation against Ruvinskiy, who was immediately suspended and then later resigned.

After clearing security, the passenger went to grab a coffee, and then looked in his wallet and found $100 missing.

That traveller, who was headed to elsewhere in Canada, then returned to the security screening area, and spoke to the supervisor who launched an investigation.

All of the allegations involved the theft of cash and in one case, a wallet.

After the Richmond RCMP was brought in to investigate, they reviewed security footage before 26 counts of theft were laid, according to Canadian Air Transport Security Authority spokesperson Mathieu Larocque said.

The Eiffel Tower and the romantic streets and fantastic restaurants of Paris will be just one non-stop, 9.5-hour flight away starting this March, when Air France begins direct service from Vancouver International Airport to Charles de Gaulle airport.

Describing it as a “glaring omission�—but not for a lack of trying—Vancouver Airport Authority president Craig Richmond said the new service means much more than simply a shorter flight for tourists to one of Europe’s most historic and iconic cities.

Richmond explained that “air bilateralsâ€? are trade agreements for air travel between countries, and agreeing to one with Air France has been in the works since 2009.

Youth poetry contest aims to raise healthy relationship issue among teens Chimo Community Services poetry contest runs to Nov. 24

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A poetry contest organized by Chimo Community Services aims for youth to do some critical thinking about the impact and consequences of male violence against girls and women.

The contest is now open and poems will be accepted through Nov. 24, with entries accepted from youth between 13 and 18 years of age.

Clay Tang, coordinator of community engagement with Chimo, said the contest coincides with the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on Nov. 25, and the National Day of Remembrance and Action on

Violence Against Women, on Dec. 6.

Chimo is delivering various presentations to the community, including Teen Relationship Abuse Prevention, aimed at Grade 8 students, and delivered 35 of those workshops last year to about 1,000 students.

The workshops deal with healthy teen relationships, gender stereotyping, male priviledge and the impact domestic abuse can have on a community. It also explains the role boys and men can play in ending abuse, and how the community can work together to address the issue, he said. “Violence against women is an important issue that touches each program we have,� said Tang, noting that Chimo runs Nova House, a transition home for women and their children fleeing domestic violence. Chimo is also working on a second-stage housing option for these women for life after a transition house.

Chimo also provides adult crisis counselling and a program for children who witness abuse.

Tang said poetry seems to be a dying art, but he is hoping to encourage youth to express themselves through the medium.

But his goal is for the poetry to do more than tackle the topic; he hopes it will empower people into taking action.

The winning submission will be printed in The Richmond Review.

Tang is encouraging community groups interested in participating in the contest to contact him (ctang@chimoservices.com), as Chimo is willing to provide a presentation on the topic to lay down a foundation of information from which students can build their poetry and flex their creative muscles. “If you would like us to come in to talk to your youth about this topic we are happy to provide

an hour-long presentation on the subject—just e-mail me to book, but please do so as soon as possible,�Tang said.

A total of $500 in prizes will be handed out, inDMVEJOH GPS ĂśSTU QMBDF GPS TFDPOE BOE $100 for third.

All winners will also be invited to attend and present their composition at the Our Voices Against Violence Conference, on Dec. 3 at the Executive Airport Plaza Hotel and Conference Centre on Westminster Highway.

Tang is also planning to enlist the services of a slam poet to both create a poem that deals with the issue as well as a slam poetry video, in which he encourages other slam poets to do the same. “We want to hear from people and for them to be able to express themselves,�Tang said.

Poems can be submitted by e-mail to contest@ ChimoServices.com.

Forum hears ideas of preserving farmland, improving cycling and combining care for seniors and children

The Richmond Firefighters Association has endorsed 16 candidates for city council, backing all incumbents and picking favourites from nearly every political party in the race.

The association, representing unionized members of the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 1286, announced its picks late Wednesday on Twitter through a series of photographs showing candidates wearing union T-shirts.

“We support those who support us,” reads several tweets from the union.

Firefighters endorsed all Richmond First council candidates: Derek Dang, Andy Hobbs, Bill McNulty, Linda McPhail and Elsa Wong.

For the newly-formed Richmond Community Coalition party, four of six council candidates won the firefighters’ backing: incumbents Chak Au and Ken Johnston; See Page 6

‘We need passion to grow the green economy in Richmond’ From Page 5 Coun. Harold Steves, the city’s longest serving politician, was the lone incumbent on stage, positioning himself as a fierce environmentalist focused on climate change.

“We need passion to make some changes. We need passion to grow the green economy in Richmond, not just on farmland but throughout the city: green roofs, solar

power on rooftops, geothermal power…” he said.

The possibility of Kwantlen using part of the Garden City lands for its farm school was put to candidates. Steves said it’s something the city is working on with the institution, to possibly set aside eight hectares for Kwantlen, and another 12 hectares for incubator farms.

Independent candidate Dave Semple, who

stepped down from his post as the city’s general manager of parks to run for a political seat, said linking with Kwantlen on the sprawling City Centre farmland is a priority.

“Agriculture, sustainability, in our city, is absolutely the No. 1 priority.

The farmlands need to be saved. What better way than to educate through our youth the ability to go and learn and to be able to

movement skills

develop and work on the lands?”

The forum’s format allowed candidates to only answer questions of interest to them.

Independent Alexa Loo, who finished 1,065 votes from a council seat in 2011, pledged improvements for cyclists—singling out “the Costco intersection” and Westminster Highway east as spots to improve cycling safety.

Don Montgomery, a realtor making his first run as independent, said there’s a need to increase speeding enforcement.

“Somehow we’ve got to find out why we don’t have enough enforcement of speeding in our city.

Personally I don’t even see a lot of RCMP patrols on our streets anymore, ever since they moved farther away from City Centre.”

In 2011 Richmond RCMP

Matthew Hoekstra photo Candidate Gary Yuill (right) answers a question.

moved its headquarters to the Ironwood area, leaving the downtown core with only a small community police station.

Jerome Dickey used the stage to promote his personal pledge of term limits.

Dickey said independents like him face great odds in winning election, and term limits would ensure new ideas are brought to the council table and

weaken the relationship between politicians and special interest groups.

“Some will say we already have term limits.

They’re called elections.

But such a response fails to recognize the impacts as mentioned here and only serves to minimize the failures of our current system.”

The “two-term pledge” is also something all candi-

dates of the upstart political party Richmond Community Coalition have made.

Coalition candidate Dan Baxter told the forum his party will improve transparency on city council by pushing for a full spending review.

“It’s not something that’s ever been done before. It’s a review that would look at efficiencies, effectiveness, value for money, best practices… It’s through that process that we can actually start to find ways to stop the tax hike that’s going to be coming over the next five years.”

Independent Patrick Saunders floated an idea to combine seniors care facilities with children’s daycares. He said when he brings his young child to visit his grandfather at Rosewood Manor, residents’ faces light up.

e live in the ‘modern roundabout era’ the beginning of which reportedly started in 1963 in England when vehicles in intersection circles were first given the right-of-way. Prior to this change, entering traffic had the right-of-way, which, at high traffic volumes, tended to lock up the traffic flow.

Circular intersections have a long history and many different names. In 1906, Eugene Henard, the Architect for the City of Paris, proposed a gyratory traffic scheme involving one-way travel around a central island for some of the major intersections in Paris. Traffic circle and rotary were other names given to such intersection designs.

Debate about the right-of-way rule in roundabouts has also had a long history and was part of the reason why North American road designers from the 1950s preferred signalized intersections and, on freeways, grade-separated interchanges. This preference continued through to the 1990s when the problems of increasing urban gridlock and decreasing road safety lead to consideration of the modern roundabout. Many features recommended it. Typically designed for low speeds (30 to 40 km/h), they contain many less potential points of contact than regular two-way intersections: 8 compared to 32. Hence roundabout crashes are fewer and with less severe outcomes.

The accumulating statistics have also showed roundabouts to be safer for pedestrians in part because of the slower traffic speeds. They significantly reduce delay by allowing yielding

at the entry rather than stopping and waiting for a green light. They also ensure that high left turn volumes have much less impact on traffic flow. They eliminate maintenance and power costs associated with traffic signals. By allowing traffic to flow, it has been suggested that they decrease fuel consumption and air pollution.

Many communities appreciate them as street beautifiers that strategically landscape the centres to help drivers focus their attention on yielding to the traffic in the circle.

The basic usage rules are simple enough: 1. Slow down on approach.

2. Keep to the right and travel counter clockwise around the centre island.

3. Yield the right-of-way to any vehicle already in the roundabout.

4. When two vehicles enter the circle at the same time, the vehicle to the right has the right-of-way.

Depending on the size of the roundabout —i.e. whether it is single or multi-laned—and any additional signage, and its usage by other road users including cyclists and pedestrians, more rules come into play: 1. In multi-lane roundabouts ensure you are in the proper lane for the direction in which you wish to travel—to turn left stay in the left lane, to turn right use the right lane, and to go straight use either lane.

2. Do not change lanes while in the roundabout.

3. Signal before you exit.

4. At pedestrian crosswalks in advance of the roundabout or crossing the lane from which you intend to exit, yield to pedestrians who may be crossing or about to cross.

One criticism of roundabouts is that many road users still seem unsure of these rules.

Roundabouts are here to stay, so understanding the applicable rules is essential. …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

The Richmond Christmas Fund’s Alex Tse and Sydney Kuo promote a new crowdfunding campaign aimed at raising money to purchase children’s books.

Christmas Fund is hoping it will work for a local cause.

“We’re definitely crossing our fingers,” says Specht. “The campaign we’ve created is very specific, both in terms of our fundraising goal, and how the money will be used. $11,790 will allow us to buy books —and brighten the holidays—for nearly 800 children and teenagers.

It’s a straightforward goal, but one we think will resonate with a lot

of people. They’ll see the impact they could have and, hopefully, make a contribution.”

The campaign, which ends December 15, is being run through BlackPress4Good, a local crowdfunding site developed by Black Press, parent company of The Richmond Review. To make a donation, visit volunteerrichmond.ca, then follow the links to the campaign page. All donors will be issued an electronic tax receipt.

“It’s always fun to do something new,” says Specht. “We’ve heard so much about crowdfunding. We’re excited to finally give it a try.”

A celebration of life will be held on Monday, Nov. 10 at 5:30 p.m.at Salvation Army Community Church, for long-time Richmond resident Norman Wrigglesworth. The Salvation Army Church is located at 8280 Gilbert Rd. Donations will be accepted for the Richmond branch of the Salvation Army, the Richmond Hospital Foundation, The Canadian National Institute for the Blind, and the Canadian Cancer Agency.

Norman Wrigglesworth set an example that is inspirational Editor: I fondly remember Norman Wrigglesworth who died recently at age 88.

Norman was a carpenter, with little education. His speech was very direct and without sophistication. In 1983 when the local papers announced I was a candidate for city council, the first person to call me was Norman. As soon as I lifted the receiver he bellowed, “Are you a smoker?” It was my first encounter with Norman. He was, I soon learned, an activist opposed to smoking in public places. This at a time when our minister of health, Jim Nielsen,

was a two-packs a day smoker, on TV and off TV and four years before then premier VanderZalm’s staff persuaded him to not smoke his pipe in public.

Norman had many causes in addition to smoking: waste at city hall, lights left on, trucks kept running, fire fighters playing cards, etc.

Norman kept up a steady stream of letters to the editor, attended every all-candidates meeting and Remembrance Day service. He regularly appeared before city council to remind us of our short-comings. He was a character, easily dismissed as a bit of a crank.

But on dark, stormy winter nights he would be out on the dykes to ensure the drainage pumps were pumping. Norman, you see, was not just a taxpayer, he was a citizen.

Norman lived old-fashioned civic virtue.

His relationship to the community was far more, something grander, than a marketplace exchange of services for taxes paid. He felt responsible for the community, it provided him with a task, a place, and a measure of meaning.

He set an example that is inspirational.

Candidates acted for the community Editor: Re: “Councillor ‘flabbergasted’ at candidates’ audacity,� Nov. 5.

The credit for acting for harmony in the Chinese-only sign matter does not belong to us or to a “flabbergasted� councillor. From the beginning, it belonged to a thousand citizens, led by Kerry Starchuk and Ann Merdinyan, who presented their request to Richmond council on March 18, 2013.

By a 7-1 vote, council refused to refer the request to staff for follow-up. As the minutes state, council only “received it for

information,� which means they swept it under the rug. A thousand engaged citizens deserved better.

The tens of thousands who have thought about the topic and formed public opinion since then deserve better too. We are in the public eye and approachable, and people tell us their concerns every day. The Chinese-only signs concern kept coming up.

After little council action for 18 months, we acted for the community. Our harmony plan to meet citizens’ goals soon drew local and national attention.

Within a week, the incumbent flipped her position, and council flipped too.

Matthew Hoekstra correctly quoted us in his “RITE candidates claim victory� article that, after our persistence with “many dedicated citizens,� we are thrilled that council acted. To be clear again, it is the citizens’ victory.

As the article also stated, we view the Chinese-language sign issue as an occasion “to bring our community closer together.� It is an honour to have a role.

Pedestrian bridge would benefit Canada Line terminus Editor: I spoke to Mayor Malcolm Brodie the other night suggesting the city build an overpass from Richmond Centre to the Canada Line terminus.

He responded me that it will cost $1 million and there’s no budget for that now.

I am thinking if the main obstacle is the budget, then that is a

great investment opportunity, If the city allows advertisements on part of the overpass bridge, it could earn revenue.

Think about the benefits for crowded pedestrians everyday in the core heart of our city.

Also the city might share costs with TransLink or Richmond Centre.

There’s much to love about living in Richmond Editor: I have read with interest the letter in Wednesday’s paper penned by Bob Ransford who pontificates about how dreadful the current elected officials, and bureaucrats are, and that they are running amok.

Someone not living in Richmond would think this community is falling apart.

I live here, and intend on remaining here. Why? Because Richmond is a strong community, with very good services and resources. The streets are paved, lit, and safe. The water comes through the tap when I turn it on, and exits through the sewer

Let’s trim our waste!

as it should. I put my garbage cans on the street every Monday morning, and when I get home from work, they have been emptied and the garbage carted away.

While my tax bill creeps ups every year, so does the price of groceries, and gas, and coffee, all at comparable rates.

There will always be those who want something for nothing, or who do not understand that costs go up, and that’s a normal thing. So I’ll just smile and chalk it up to their not really understanding the realities of the world.

I’m not the only one who

believes the current city government and bureaucracy is doing a good job. People continue to move to Richmond at higher rates than most other municipalities in the Lower Mainland.

Obviously something is being done right.

Of course there’s always more that can be done, and it can always be done better. But for those who decry the current council and government, I’ll read their little comments with a grin while I enjoy the wonderful life I have in this great City of Richmond.

Forgetting why we remember Editor: As Nov. 11 approaches I have noticed recently that it seems we have forgotten what Remembrance Day is really about. Particularly among the younger people who may not all know the significance of the day, or why we really wear poppies.

I overheard the other day one person saying to another “I didn't wear my poppy today because it didn't go with what I'm wearing.” I'm sorry that they don't come in blue, but the poppies aren't meant to be worn as a fashion statement.

It's sad when you hear people questioning why we still observe Remembrance Day. Or remarking that the world wars happened so long ago, why are we still remembering the fallen?

Well Remembrance Day isn't just about those who gave their lives during the world wars, but also about remembering every man and woman who has paid the ultimate sacrifice, bravely serving Canada in all conflicts since, including those who fell while serving right here at home, such as Cpl. Nathan Cirillo. These soldiers ask for just 60 seconds of your time, once a year. Considering how much they gave for us, I'm

pretty sure we can, at the very least, give them those couple of minutes which they most definitely deserve.

Vishan Hettiarachchi Richmond

Take time to remember the fallen Editor: With our flag proudly waving, we will thank our fathers, grandfathers, great grandfathers and veterans of centuries past for defending this country, some, with their lives and we will take a moment in silence to remember the fallen.

They have thrown to us the torch that we must carry to defend our country and have placed the future of their descendants and our fellow citizens in our hands. And so we cannot rest a moment and must be ever watchful and vigilant of our borders and those would seek to encroach in our arctic.

Our borders are our defences for our natural resources, both on land and sea, our northern first nations and our freedom and sovereignty in general.

And to those over the centuries who have sought to invade our country, history has shown that we have met the challenge of defence and have done far more than our duty to keep this country ours.

So as you stop to think of the veterans who gave their lives

for this country and thank those who are still with us, stop and think of the sovereignty of this country that you enjoy and must continue to uphold. Do not one day turn to your fellow Canadians and ask “Oh Canada, where have you gone”, but continue to stand firm and arm in arm and proudly sing “O Canada our home and native land.”

This land is ours.

Gordon Kibble Richmond

Fly flags correctly for Remembrance Day Editor: As we honoured the two recent fallen soldiers and as Remembrance Day approaches, please show your respect by flying your flags at half-mast correctly.

No flag should be flown above the Canadian flag. So when the Canadian flag is at half-mast, all flags should be at half-mast.

Please also note that flags are not raised to half-mast. The correct way is to raise them to the top and then lower them to half-mast. The middle of the flag should be about half way on the flag pole. When lowering the flags from half-mast, they are first raised to the top and then taken down.

It is just as easy to do it the right way.

Editor: Democracy is fragile, should not be taken for granted and must be nurtured.

I therefore agree with fellow independent candidate Jerome Dickey that the all-party meeting held

by Radio AM1320 was unfair to every independent running for council as they were not invited to attend.

The same week, Kwantlen Polytechnic University permitted the attendance of all independents, but only one candidate from each organized slate. Does not every candidate on a slate also have an independent voice, their own contribution to make? I certainly hope so!

The organizers of these events need to find a better way to open dialogue between the voting public and the people that wish to represent them.

If these events are too logistically complex to hold, perhaps in-depth surveys (for the public to assess the positions that each candidate holds) followed by public “meet and greets� is a better way for political engagement.

Democracy can be clumsy and inconvenient, but the alternatives are stark.

Independent candidate Jerome Dickey poses in front of a debate he wasn’t invited to take part in last weekend.

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Town

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra.

Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

Due to overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Barbara Chapman is coming to RICHMOND, WED. NOVEMBER 26TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,�

Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.�

In partnership with

Introducing the New Save.ca Mobile Cash-Back Feature.

With exclusive offers for the brands you love & $5 cash-out minimums through PayPal, you’ll never go shopping without your smart phone again!

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes.

She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounceâ€? when you walk while wearing your “everydayâ€? bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?

If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

You can sign up for Chapman’s bra clinic by calling

Highway 99 impact of ferries shift alarmed mayors Now-scrapped proposal fanned traffic fears in Delta, Richmond This week’s feature: green and mean

TestFest!

drivewaycanada.ca

by Jeff Nagel Black Press Mayors in Delta and Richmond were among those strongly warning the province against a now-scrapped BC Ferries idea to eliminate car ferry service out of Horseshoe Bay and send all those vehicles through Tsawwassen instead.

Less than a day after confirming it was an option, provincial Transportation Minister Todd Stone on Wednesday ruled out a potential end to the Horsehoe Bay-Na-

naimo run.

Forcing those vehicles to instead take the underused Duke Point-Tsawwassen route would have added significantly to travel times to and from Vancouver but would have reduced BC Ferries costs, in part by avoiding major upgrades at the Horseshoe Bay terminal.

Speaking prior to Stone’s reversal, Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie warned it would have meant “much worse” traffic congestion on Highway 99 south of Vancouver, through Richmond.

“To put even more traffic on Highway 99 without a plan as to how to decongest that corridor, I don’t think makes a lot of sense,” he said.

Stone had said the recent completion of the South Fraser Perimeter Road would help carry ferry traffic under that scenario.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said she is “absolutely delighted” that the provincial government heard the loud criticism of the concept and quickly “turned on a dime.”

Ghost towers scary for planners Housing is top issue for most residents, RITE Richmond says RITE Richmond unveiled its plans to deal with the top issue in the minds of Richmond residents: housing.

On Tuesday, council candidate Carol Day revealed a 13-point plan to address affordable housing and residential development.

Among her ideas is a plan get city staff to study the merits of a vacancy tax for homes that remain empty for more than six months in a year.

“We need to find out what we can do about all these empty condos and houses...This is a big issue...,” she said.

The existence of a vacancy tax might spur homeowners to put their condos up for rent, which would increase housing availability in the community.

“Think what that could to do to lower the cost of rent in Richmond if there was a flood of places on the rental market, providing more affodrable rents for families and seniors and everyone in Richmond,” Day said.

One of the challenges with ghost towers comes from neighbourhood planning. In a large enough neighbourhood, multi-family housing might necessitate the addition of an elementary school or high school.

’T T! N DO S OU

S MI

But if those new residential units remain empty, that could throw a monkey-wrench into city planning.

“You don’t know what to plan for if you don’t know the age group of people who are moving into a particular neighbourhood,” Day said.

“A lot of people have complained about that from every nationality and every background...You’ve got to understand, when people buy a home in a neighbourhood, the whole idea is to live in a neighbourhood, not to live in a ghost village and that’s something we need to change and to create better awareness.”

Incumbent trustee Rod Belleza also spoke about his concerns that an investor-driven real estate market is driving up the cost of housing.

“If young people can’t afford to buy all these condos, and it’s all owned by investors and speculators...that’s a very serious problem.”

Incumbent trustee Norm Goldstein added: “I think we also have to emphasize the responsibilities of living somewhere. And we’re talking about those responsibilities, the community, the contributions...If we can ask people coming in, and make them understand what kind of community we’re looking for, that we’re not looking for empty houses, that’s not contributing to the community in the sense we’re looking for.”

HENRY YAO

Youth choir holds Voices in Peace concert

FOR RICHMOND CITY COUNCIL

YES FOR YAO ] for lowering taxes

by Don Fennell Staff Reporter

] for increased community services

Richmond’s musical youth are headling a special concert of remembrance Tuesday evening at Fraserview Church.

Now in its eighth year, Voices In Peace will feature the Richmond Youth Honour Choir as well as local violin virtuoso Royce Richert.

A free concert, its purpose is to reflect on the tragedy and tremendous destruction of war, as well as the lost lives and sacrifices others have made.

“It will also include stories that reflect what peace looks like in action,” said Richmond Youth Honour Choir conductor Heidi Epp, who is heading up the evening program.

“We need to reflect on, and extend, the meaning of Remembrance Day and work for peace,” she said.

“We need to do more than just remember the tragedy of war. We need to honour our veterans while also remembering what peace looks like when people make different choices.”

Epp said she hopes the concert will help challenge people to think about how they can contribute toward a peaceful world by their actions, such as thinking about how and where they spend their resources and whether the products they purchase are from ethical sources.

Peace Mennonite Church and Fraserview Church have both donated facilities and production costs for the concert, which begins at 7 p.m. Nov. 11 at the Fraser Church, 11295 Mellis Dr. in Richmond.

‘When you’re lost in your own brain – who is going to find you?’

by Georgina Patko Contributor “I used to be normal.

It’s great to be normal.

Being normal is a gift.�

Christian Boily It was a regular day.

He was in the forest painting, it was a very quiet and peaceful place to be. An artist going about his work.

He had been raised by a beautiful and healthy family. He went to university to become an art teacher and there was no history of mental illness in his family.

He had a completely normal life with a bright future and ambition like most people in society . Having a wife and

child and being a true father and husband and accomplishing his goals in life were his priority.

He’d seen the news about the prison escape from a Quebec jail, but it had nothing to do with him. How could he ever have expected to be taken hostage?

But he was. Escaped organized crime bosses dressed in camouflage uniforms with machine guns, grenades and bullet straps across their chests captured him, held a gun to his head and held him hostage for days while he was forced to drive with them where they wanted to go.

He was their insurance

and would be killed if they were caught. No bathroom breaks. The imagery worthy of fiction – but not fiction this time. “It was horrible.

It was a big nightmare, and I completely surrendered to them and did everything they wanted me to do...it was hell....�

By the time it was over, “I was lost in my own brain. When you’re lost in your own brain – who is going to find you?�

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) had taken over. It can happen to anyone. On this Remembrance Day, we associate it more with our armed forces and emergency

first responders, but if you’ve been held hostage, been raped, been involved in a serious car crash, or even just witnessed one, it could happen to you too.

PTSD is like a tumour.

It is a root from which other mental illnesses can grow and thrive.

From Christian’s PTSD grew anxiety disorder, panic attacks, and obsessive compulsive disorder. “How can you trust anyone again, even yourself�, he asks?

He has to check that the door is locked, locked, locked. Who can you believe?

Flashbacks, nightmares, sleeplessness.

All symptoms that led

in his case to drugs, alcohol and eventually to losing his family and homelessness. It could happen to you.

Christian found Pathways at Richmond Centre! He was homeless, keeping warm. There were brochures on a rack there and although

couldn’t believe everything the brochure said, he thought he would try another warm place.

He credits Pathways as the miracle that led him back to society. “Pathways changed my life�.

If you know of someone struggling to find their peace,

let them know about Pathways Clubhouse.

Richmond Museum has taken the wraps off its newest exhibit.

Interwoven World: Identity and Fashion opened Thursday and runs through to July 5, 2015. The exhibit explores how fashion has evolved through time, showcasing cross-cultural influences on styles from around the globe and how they are relevant to Richmond today.

Museum hours are weekdays from 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and weekends from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Local artisans exhibit at Circle Craft Christmas Market Four Richmond artisans will be among 300 exhibitors at the 41st annual Circle Craft Christmas Market next week.

Juvelisto Design will showcase gold, silver and bronze jewelry; Pixie Felts will be selling handfelted clothing and accessories; The Woodman will exhibit hand-custom made crafts; and Yutal Jewelry Fusion will be selling silver and gold jewelry.

Since 1973, Circle Craft has presented its annual winter market where the best of B.C. and Canadian

craft is exhibited and sold by the artisans themselves.

The market is expected to draw 40,000 people over six days at the Vancouver Convention Centre West, 1055 Canada Pl., Nov. 11 to 16. Admission is $10 to $14.

Play documents conversations with dying mom The first Studio B show of Gateway Theatre’s season is described as part documentary, part memorial, all heart.

Coming to the intimate stage in association with The Chop Theatre company Nov. 13 to 22, the multi-playwright show How To Disappear Completely follows real-life lighting designer Itai Erdal.

In 2000, Erdal learned his mother was dying from lung cancer. He flew from Vancouver to Israel to be her primary caregiver for the next six months.

A film student, Erdal filmed his mother in her final days with a plan to produce a documentary. That footage has now become part of a theatrical show starring Erdal, who—despite not being a trained actor—performs on stage while footage rolls.

How to Disappear Completely promises to be an illuminating experience for audiences. Tickets, $20 to $35, at gatewaytheatre.com or 604-270-1812.

Gateway Theatre: 6500 Gilbert Rd.

Lest we forget:

Bob Newhart coming to Richmond

We pay tribute to those past and present who have served our country with courage and compassion.

A comedian whose career spanned two successful TV shows and 14 feature films will perform a standup show at River Rock Show Theatre next Saturday.

Bob Newhart has also sold millions of albums and fans continue to be drawn to his standup shows to hear Newhart standards such as “The Driving Instructor,” “Sir Walter Raleigh” and “The Submarine Commander.”

Tickets to the Nov. 15 show are $59.50 to $69.50, at ticketmaster.ca or 1-855-985-5000.

City Car: Kia Soul EV & Smart ForTwo Electric Drive. Bob’s Pick: Both entries are small electric vehicles and they’re close in terms of performance, but the Kia Soul EV is my choice. It seats five (instead of two), has more cargo space and rides nicer, making it a more practical everyday car.

Staying safe means stowing your cell

by Lauren Kramer

responding to texts and answering calls whenever they come in – and no matter what is going on around us.

It’s easy to rationalize. “This will just take a second,” we think, exaggerating the amount of time it takes to, say, respond to a text message. According to the Canadian Automobile Association the average distraction time for this task is 22.6 seconds, the distance of 373 metres of travel at 40 km/h and the equivalent of four intersections or 68 parked cars.

But it’s not just the texting time that’s so perilous, it’s the time it will take you to regain your focus on the road, to bring your car to a standstill if you have to.

Perception, reaction and braking time after a distraction like this – even something as minor as hitting two letters to type “OK”—is 25 metres, the equivalent of a lineup of 17 people. That’s a long time when you’re

My kids have my permission to yell at their dad whenever they spot him using his cell phone while driving.

Which, unfortunately, is often. I’ve coached them on what to say: “You’re putting my safety at risk,” “You’re breaking the law,” and “Dad, put your phone away this minute!”

I’m not alone when I say my biggest fear is that someone I love will be in a horrific, life-changing, potentially fatal car accident. And every time a driver picks up their phone while operating a car, that accident becomes increasingly likely.

Sneaking peeks at our cell phones while we’re driving has become an irresistible temptation as more and more of us become addicted to checking email,

controlling a powerful, hunk of metal like a car.

The truth is that cell phones have become every much as dangerous an addiction when driving as inebriation – even more so because they lack the stigma associated with drunk driving. Yet the probability of being in a crash while you are distracted is horrifying. Texting, even just a word? You are 23 times more likely to crash. Talking on your cell phone – four-to-five times more likely.

And reading that ‘urgent’ email that simply couldn’t wait makes you three times more likely to be in a potentially fatal accident, according to research by CAA. Findings by ICBC show that distracted driving is the second leading contributing factor of vehicle fatalities in BC. That’s why on Oct. 20, new penalties for distracted drivers were implemented in this province. If you are caught with your cell phone in hand or programming

your GPS while driving, you’ll get a $167 fine and a deduction of three penalty points. It’s a rap on the knuckles but also a reminder to fight our addiction to electronic devices while we’re driving.

Overcoming that cell phone addiction on the road is as easy as turning off your phone and putting it in the glove box or trunk of your car, where you absolutely cannot reach it while you are driving. Yes, I know, you are expecting an important call so you don’t want your phone off. In that case, Bluetooth or wired headsets (worn only in one ear unless you are on a motorbike) are the next best thing.

But the key is to make sure your phone is out of reach, because when it is within stretching distance, it’s a pinging candy bar most of us can’t refuse. laurenkramer@shaw.ca

The all-new 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe is part of a full suite of large trucks from General Motors. These range from the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon and Denali and the Cadillac Escalade.

Something of interest is the preference Canadians have for the GMC brand over the Chevrolet trucks, which are the most popular in the United States. More Canadians go for GMC and the US loves Chevrolet, the complete reverse. Regardless, all of these GM trucks represent the majority of full-size truck sales in Canada. GM kind of has a lock on big vehicles able to move a large family, tow a trailer and now do it with much greater efficiency. These are all based on the award winning full-size Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks that arrived in 2014. GM has taken much

of what made those some of the most comfortable vehicles to drive and baked it into the Tahoe and others.

Looks In the Chevrolet family the Tahoe is the short wheelbase version and the Suburban is the longer wheelbase model, with much more cargo space behind the third row of seats.

Some might find the new design direction from GM to be a bit too slab-sided, with squarer edges and boxy shapes but I prefer the modern take on the classic design.

The Tahoe sits very high off the ground so the power side step is a wonderful addition along with a power tailgate and backup camera. How did we ever live without these amenities before? The biggest change is the front lighting package GM has used on this Chevrolet. LED daytime running lights make a statement and the monster grille with the big Chevrolet bowtie

The 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe: towing is a big reason why people purchase such big trucks. looks rough and ready.

Inside One of the biggest changes in the full-size pickup trucks is the level of refinement and ride quality and this has migrated into this Tahoe, the cabin is quiet and refined. This is done through a number of advancements; one of the biggest is the way the doors wrap into the roof to help shut out road and wind

noise. The next big advantage is the attention to detail in the front cabin. There is a big screen, front and centre, with easy to use and access rotary dials and switches.

There are USB plugs along with regular power outlets just under the radio and more USB plugs inside the glove box and yet another behind the radio screen that slides up and away to reveal a hidden compartment. The back seats have an available flip and fold feature that automatically lowers or raises the second and third row of seats. What is surprising is the lack of cargo space behind the third row when it is in use—the bigger Suburban might be the way to go for really large families.

Drive The two-wheel drive Tahoe is the value leader in the GM line of full-size trucks, starting at $51,900-- the GMC comes with a $2000 premium over the Chevy. Yes, this is an expensive vehicle but keep in mind that towing is a big reason why people purchase such big trucks. With a towing capacity of 3856kg (8500 lbs.) in two-wheel drive trim and 3765 (8300 lbs.) with four wheel drive, the Tahoe is up to the task of towing most pleasure boats and family campers with ease. The Tahoe uses the same 355hp 5.3L V8 engine found in the full-size pickup trucks. It uses direct injection technology and has the ability to switch off half of

the cylinders to help save fuel.

There is a small indicator light on the instrument cluster that tells the driver when the engine is running on just 4-cylinders. This helps the driver feather the throttle to keep the engine in this fuel saving mode as long as possible.

When more power is needed, the engine automatically reverts to all eight cylinders for maximum power. These tricks help improve city fuel economy by 7% and highway consumption by 10%.

Verdict The Tahoe tested was the top LTZ trim with the magnetic ride control, the same system used in the Corvette Stingray. This system monitors the road condition up to 1000 times per second and adjusts the shock absorbers up to 100 times per second to improve ride and handling. This along with the smooth engine and quiet ride makes the Tahoe feel like a big, luxury sedan. It is no wonder that people who have these big trucks love them. One thing to consider when choosing which truck to buy is the available engine.

The GMC Denali and Cadillac Escalade trucks have a larger 6.2L V8, which is much quicker and more capable.

This Tahoe is just part of the full-line of trucks from GM that dominate the market, and for good reason. These are well-designed, well-made and supremely comfortable vehicles for a large family.

Happy Birthday Uncle Rod!

20 Questions with Evelyn Lazare

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Steveston’s Evelyn Lazare didn’t have notes, or an even idea. Just a laptop and a desire to write a novel. Lazare let her fingers do the work.

Day by day, the lives of six women unfolded on her computer screen to become the central characters in her first book released last year: The Ladies Who Don’t Lunch.

The story spans 20 years of dinners the women share—at which they also dish on their lives.

She recently released the sequel, The Ladies Who Still Don’t Lunch, which continues the story of the women, who range in age from 30 to 60 and share tales of life, love and loss.

Lazare, born and raised in Montreal, says her writing was recognized in Grade 4 with a prize, and many years later by a newspaper in a 50-wordsor-less essay contest.

She graduated from University of Chicago and started a writing career for the health care sector.

Early retirement paved the way to writing fiction.

The self-published author attends numerous local literary events, and a few are already scheduled for this fall. Lazare is among the authors participating in the Jewish Book Festival’s Literary Quickie on Sunday, Nov. 23 from 10 to 11:30 a.m.

The fast-paced event, at the Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver (950 West 41st Ave. in Vancouver), gives each author 180 seconds to win the audience over.

Next month Lazare will be participating in the Surrey Library’s Authors Among Us event Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. at the Guildford branch. She’ll also be hosting a book launch, signing and reading event at Village Books and Coffee House (12031 First Ave. in Steveston) Saturday, Dec. 6 from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.

1. Where did this story come from? “The story came out of nowhere, when I decided to write a novel. The idea of a women’s dinner group was familiar to me, but I didn’t set out to write

about personal experiences.”

2. What do you mean they don’t lunch? “Doing lunch is an expression that implies making a social event out of getting together for a mid-day meal. The six women in the novel have neither the time nor the interest in this kind of get-together.

Instead, they meet for dinner at each other’s homes.”

3. Who are these women? “The women range in age from early 30s to mid-50s when the first novel begins… The women’s lives have been characterized by several readers as the lives of contemporary women in a blender.”

4. What did you set out to achieve? “ I wanted to prove to myself that I could write a novel. I also wanted to promote it on Oprah, but that hasn’t happened yet.”

5. What’s a favourite lunch of yours? “Sushi, sushi and more sushi.”

6. A place you’d love to travel to? “I would love to take the Orient Express.

It’s on my to-do list.”

7. What was your last job before retirement? “I had my own business, consulting to the health care field for many years, specializing in the preparation of strategic documents and in running start-up organizations. One of my last major contracts was as the initial executive director of Ovarian Cancer Canada.”

8. When did you move to Steveston? “In the summer of 2008.”

9. What’s one of your favourite things about the village? “Steveston is a very friendly place. It’s a pleasure to be recognized when I shop there and to recognize locals when I’m on the seawall or in the village itself.”

10. What else are you writing about? “First, I’ve written some 30,000+ words of a novel best described as a he said, she said story about what happens between a man and a woman. It’s a real challenge to write from the man’s perspective, but that’s what makes it interesting for me.”

fast pace and my readers tell me they enjoy the speed with which events happen.”

14. What was growing up in Montreal like? “I have nothing to compare it to, but I can say the weather was horrific. Too cold in winter and too hot and muggy in the summer. I left the day after I graduated from McGill.”

15. Smoked meat, poutine or bagel? “I’d have to say smoked meat from Schwartz’s, because there is nothing like it anywhere else, either in Montreal or beyond.

That said, every time I visit Montreal, I bring back

sesame bagels from StViateur Bagel. The whole plane smells yummy.”

16. A memorable place you’ve lived outside Montreal? “San Francisco.”

17. A hobby or interest? “African drumming.”

18. Something on your bucket list? “After I return from that trip on the Orient Express, I’d love to spend a few months in Australia and New Zealand.”

19. Favourite way to exercise? “I tap dance.”

20. And what was that 50-word essay topic?

“Celebrating Christmas, which I don’t do.”

11. How challenging is self-publishing? “Very.

It’s not just the publishing, which is difficult enough. It’s the attendant marketing, publicity and administration that keep me from spending more time on writing. While I truly enjoy the appearances at libraries, book clubs, festivals and the like, setting up these events is very time-consuming.”

Remembrance Day

Richmond pulled together during the war From Page 1 Ian Thomas Myron was born in Moose Jaw, Sask. in 1925. At age eight he arrived in Richmond with his family, one of many that migrated from the Prairies to the West Coast at the time. They settled on a three-acre farm in West Richmond where Lynas Lane is today.

Everett Ellwyn Cooper was born a year earlier, in 1924.

When war broke out, they watched Richmond pull together. Community groups organized fundraisers, volunteers collected metal for the war effort and families rationed food and fuel. Guns were stationed at Steveston and Sea Island, and manufacturing of airplanes and munitions began. So too did air raid drills, blackouts and coastal patrols. Greater change came in 1941 after Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s devastating assault on Americans at Pearl Harbor. Local Japanese-Canadians were ordered on an eastbound train out of Richmond.

The war overseas raged on, and Myron and Cooper would soon be in it. Myron left Richmond High in Grade 9 to join a Vancouver printing company as an apprentice, but the job was short-lived. He quit with the intention of enlisting in the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Myron had some military experience, serving as a cadet and a member of the army reserve artillery regiment. But he had no flying experience.

That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter. Nor did the fact the odds were stacked against men in Bomber Command, a war assignment with risks so high almost half of all aircrew never finished their tour.

At the age of 18, Myron brought his lean

five-foot-nine frame to the recruitment office and signed up for the air war on Aug. 27, 1943.

Nine months laterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;after training for the role of air gunnerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Myron was sent overseas.

Around the same time fellow Richmond High student Cooper was also called to England for the same role.

It was 1944, a critical year in the Second World War. The Allies had foothold in Europe, and significant progress was being made in the Pacific.

With Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help, Britain was waging a war at night, dropping countless bombs on strategic targets in Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;railway lines, bridges, roadsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in an effort to curb industrial production and cripple the enemy attack.

On Dec. 5 of that year, Myron and Cooper were called to join an aerial assault on Soest, Germany that would see nearly 500 Allied aircraft take to the skies. The boys, brought together to attack key railway installations, were part of different crews.

Myron boarded a heavy Halifax bomber. At 6:01 p.m. its crew of seven men took off from a Royal Air Force station in North Yorkshire, England under cloudy skies that would soon be full of bomb-laden planes. It was the 19-year-oldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventh operation.

Honouring ALL

WHO

S E RV E D

The Municipal Employees and Members of the RCMP at the Richmond Detachment pay tribute to the memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

The original tail fin from the ill-fated Lancaster, the last plane Richmond’s Ellwyn Cooper would fly in.

A map of where the crash took place in England

Planes never made it out of England From Page 25 Cooper was on board a Lancaster bomber that took off 11 minutes earlier from an airfield a short distance away.

Both men were rear gunners, ready to fire on German fighters who would be waiting for them in the night skies over Europe.

But they never made it out of England.

The two planes caught up with each other over Yelvertoft.

Visibility was good but the skies were dark. The planes—packed with thousands of litres of highlyflammable fuel and tons of bombs—collided mid-air at 6:55 p.m. Witnesses saw an explosion, and the Halifax fall in flames. The Lancaster blew up on impact with the ground.

Wreckage was scattered over an area so large that one crew member’s remains were found six kilometres from his plane.

Amid the Halifax wreckage, investigators found five bodies.

Myron wasn’t among them. Of the Lancaster crew, just two bodies were found. One was Cooper’s.

Investigators found no evidence suggesting any crew members had a chance to abandon their aircraft. They did, however, find Cooper’s parachute open with the rip cord still in place.

According to a Royal Air Force investigation report, witnesses saw a red glow in the clouds, two aircrafts burning on the ground, scattered fires and a crater made by a bomb.

“Considerable wreckage lay around covering a large area and fragmentation was very complete,” according to the report.

That night an electrical engineer officer was visiting friends when he heard two high-revving airplane engines. Then he heard an impact. He headed to the flames and found a couple dozen incendiary bombs in a field—some burning, some unexploded.

Another witness, medical officer H. Crockett, responded in an ambulance. It got stuck in the mud, so he proceeded to the scene on foot. So mangled were the airplanes he didn’t realize there were two aircraft involved.

From Page 27 A pilot in the bomber stream provided another account. G.I. Titus saw an explosion that left a trail of burning shrapnel in the air above him.

“Immediately after the explosion I saw the outline of an aircraft burning and falling rapidly in a spiral dive. This disappeared into a thin layer of cloud at about six or five thousand feet and disappeared from my view. Approximately five or six seconds afterwards I saw a series of explosions on the ground.”

The entire sevenmember crews on each plane—12 Canadians, two British—appeared to have died instantly.

News reaches Richmond Word of the crash slowly trickled home.

On Jan. 10, 1945, the Marpole-Richmond Review reported Myron was missing, believed killed.

“Hope that better word would be heard of him has been dashed by a communication from a superior officer, which strongly supported the belief that the young man had given his life.”

News was more certain for the family of Cooper, whose body was found. Cooper’s father was likely informed of his son’s death via telegram. It was made official in a letter from an air force official sent nearly a month after the operation. Air force officials THE

sonnel carried his coffin, which was covered by the Union Jack, and the haunting trumpet call of the “Last Post” sounded in tribute.

Cooper, the letter said, had many friends.

He was popular, cheerful, willing and able.

“We all highly honour the gallant sacrifice your son has made so far from home in the service of his country and democracy.”

Richmond High’s next annual, in 1945, listed both Myron and Cooper as “killed in action.”

There are no known surviving family members of either men, but their names live on in Richmond through local streets—Myron Court and Cooper Road—and a scholarship fund of the Richmond Retired Teachers’ Association. Myron’s sister Jean, who died five years ago, left $750,000 for the trust fund to award scholarships to graduating high school students each year in the Myron name.

Yelvertoft remembers For the small community of Yelvertoft, the crash brought the tragedy—and reality— of war to its doorstep.

The exploding bombs lit up the village, falling around the church and rectory of the town. The crash snapped trees and put craters in fields. It also shattered church windows, damaged outhouses, cracked plaster ceilings and blew doors out, according to a newspaper report.

But no one on the ground was hurt.

The Rector of Yelvertoft, Rev. Jenkins, according to the report, said the church was practically unusable.

But the Sunday after the crash, the parish held a memorial service for airmen.

For many years after the crash, local farmers would unearth bits of wreckage—and body parts.

Local resident Jane Larder said Yelvertoft hasn’t forgotten, and there are still people living in the village who witnessed the crash. Each year, on Remembrance Sunday, villagers gather at the war memorial for a service of remembrance, and the names of the crew members are read out.

This year, the 70th anniversary of the tragedy, will be commemorated by the Yelvertoft History Group, which has been researching

the crash ahead of a ceremony planned for Dec. 6.

“We wanted to find out more about the aircrews. We felt that for the men who gave the greatest sacrifice it was the least we could do,” said Larder.

The group’s research also brought members face to face with the tail fin from the illfated Lancaster. It was found at an air force heritage centre, which is allowing the history group to bring it back to Yelvertoft. They also recently unearthed photographs of the Canadian airmen.

“Putting faces to the names was very moving,” said Larder, who said the ceremony will include the planting of trees—an English oak

and a Canadian red maple—near the crash site.

It’ll be a shared remembrance with Richmond. The Friends of the Richmond Archives is organizing a display of its own at Richmond City Hall in time for Remembrance Day ceremonies next Tuesday.

Connecting the two events will be Lynne Farquharson, an archives volunteer who will be in Yelvertoft to plant the maple tree for Canada. Farquharson, a former president of the Richmond Retired Teachers’ Association, knew Myron’s well-liked sister Jean and felt compelled to go.

“This little village is going so out of its way

to do a remembrance ceremony, I think it behooves any of us to at least acknowledge their efforts,” said Farquharson, who was just two months old at the time of the crash.

“I just cannot believe that this little town would go through such pains for 12 Canadians.

We kind of minimize sometimes the efforts of our country.”

In Yelvertoft Farquharson will wear a red coat and white scarf, and hand out Canadian flags. She’ll be there for Canada—and for two Richmond airmen whose names are now on the No. 3 Road cenotaph.

“I’ll be a real Canadian. In fact it might be the most Canadian I’ll feel in my whole life.”

‘Cats claw way back to provincials McMath girls’ field hockey team looking to build on school-best seventh-place finish of a year ago

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Excitement is building as the R.A. McMath Wildcats prepare to again challenge for provincial supremacy in high school field hockey.

Coaches TJ Sander and Kira Carre are preaching teamwork as the R.A. McMath Wildcats prepare to take a run at the provincial high school AAA girls’ field hockey champion-

ship next week in West Vancouver.

It will be second year in a row the Richmond club has reached the elite 16-team tournament, last year finishing a school-best seventh.

“We just have to focus on and play our game to be successful, and when we play our game as we did in the zone championship game, we are a dominating team,” Sander said. “As (retired NBA star) Mi-

chael Jordan said: Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships. This has been our saying and philsophy all season.”

And what a season it has been.

After finishing toptwo during Vancouver league play with a 4-1 record to earn a bye into the zone semifinals, McMath dispatched of Eric Hamber Griffins 3-2 in a hardfought tilt that was

not one of the Wildcats’ best outings. They looked much more like themsleves, however, in the final by posting a 4-0 victory over a Magee Lions’ team that spoiled a potentiallyundefeated campaign in the season opener. The latter victory earned McMath its second consecutive Carey Cup (named after longtime Richmond field hockey pioneers Lance and Nancy Carey) as zone champions.

“Kira and I were extremely proud of how the girls still found a way to get it done (against Hamber),” Sander said. “I truly believe that having

ter-finals, helped us mentally get tougher for the final. We came out strong and played strong till the game ended, for our most dominating performance of the season.”

But Sander stressed the victory over Magee was by no means easy.

He said the Lions boast some very dynamic players which spurred the Wildcats to battle that much harder.

“Our ball movement and distribution was just awesome. Kira and I have stressed strong team play, hard work and playing with intensity all season long,” he said.

Sander said the adjustments between the semifinal and final matches was pretty much mental, with the coaches reminding the players that wins do not come easy and without hard work.

The Wildcats were also reminded that they need to play a strong positional game and utilize the field with strong ball movement and distribution.

“Another key to our success in the final was that we were able to neutralize (Magee’s) three strongest players with strong man-onman coverage, not giving them much room to move and consistently making effective plays,” Sander said. “We loved that our players supported each other all over the field, and in all different situations.”

The first of two new artificial playing fields at Minoru Park is expected to open this weekend for a major field hockey tournament.

Mike Redpath, senior manager, parks, for the City of Richmond, said Minoru 2 is expected to be ready in time for the tournament, which will also be played on Minoru Oval and at Richmond High—also artificial turfs.

Redpath said he expects construction of Minoru 3 will take another two to three weeks before it is ready—hopefully by the first week of December, weather permitting.

Classic style comes through in black and white The classic look of black and white will never go out of style, which is why the 107 brand new townhomes in Burquitlam are the perfect blend of location, opportunity and price.

With three storeys, two colors and endless possibility, the Black+Whites on Foster are located on a quiet residential street near several parks and schools, while remaining conveniently close to Highway 1 and Lougheed Town Centre.

Director of Sales, Barrett Sprowson ensures that with the growing and changing neighborhood, including new shopping, new transit (Evergreen Line) and new amenities, this is the kind

of living environment that will only continue to get better.

With a focus on detail, Black+Whites combines an architectural design that is sophisticated, timeless, elegant and tailored.

The exterior is highlighted by formal manicured hedges, rich detailed brick and hardi-board cladding combined in strong color contrasts; creating visual appeal from the very first glance.

“This community is going to have a very striking streetscape impression for decades to come,” says Sprowson.

Intracorp’s philosophy is to go “beyond what is ordinary,” by creating each home with special features to make life more

comfortable and more beautiful without compromising lasting quality.

“In every master ensuite, we include a motion-censored under-cabinet light, allowing you to comfortably use the bathroom at night without needing to find a switch or experience bright lighting,” says Sprowson, on one of the many details synonymous with the Intracorp name.

“Other features I love are the large oversized windows, allowing lots of natural light in, large family sized kitchen with islands, stone countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, quality stainless steel appliances and real wood cabinetry,” says Sprowson.

The three-bedroom Black+Whites townhomes built by Intracorp, start from the low $500,000s, while the four-bedroom homes start from $590,000.

Right now, they are offering a special “Neighborhood Program” that allows for early purchasing opportunities before the public launch.

Wildcats finding strength in each other

Let an experienced Realtor go to work for you ®

#322 - 4280 MONCTON STREET OPEN SUNDAY 2-4

From Page 30

Without Grade 12 defence anchor Andrea Clute for the zone finals, the Wildcats were further forced to rally around each other. Goalkeeper Maddie DeGiorgio came up with the big saves when needed, and veterans Hayley Trewin, Emma James and Alex Gupana along with rookies Brooke Booth and Alex Passalacqua-Main combined to help fend the Lions’ scoring opportunities.

Up front, the midfield led by assistant captains Harmony Sander and Ellie Reid, along with Georgia Booker and supported by veteran Lauren Shewfelt played their best game as a group, playing a strong two-way gamewith great ball movement and distribution and supporting the team defence and offence, Sander said.

“And our forwards led by our captain Rachel Kwan turned in performance to be remembered, which included a diving play for a beautiful tomahawk shot for one of the goal,” he said. “All our forwards demonstrated great drive and desire to create scoring opportunities and to capitalize on them, which included youngster Dakota Chan and Kate Schmidt; rookie Kim German and veteran Mikayla Weissler, all coming up with big plays.”

Throughout the playoffs, McMath was missing one its two strikers Aish Sander, who is out with a concussion from ice

hockey. In her absence, however, Mya Rosser filled the spot admirably and contributed some timely goals.

Having divided this season into segments, each with its own set of goals, the Wildcats now embark on the biggest challenge at next week’s provincials, where the team hopes to improve on last season’s seventh-place finish (the lone time McMath has advanced to the championship round in the school’s history) and perhaps push for gold.

“It’s hard to judge the other teams as they change so much year to year with graduation and new players coming in,” Sander said. “Typically, the majority of teams we faced are true senior teams made up only of Grade 10 to 12s, and in some cases only Grade 11s and 12s. We are a Grade 8 to 12 team which says a lot about of depth. We cannot worry about how the others shape up, we just have to focus on and play our game to be successful.”

Hosted by Argyle Secondary, next week’s provincial championships at Rutledge Field at Ambleside Athletic Park begin Nov. 12 and wind up Nov. 14.

“We are going to be practicing hard and working on the little things, on the key details of the game and what we need to continue to do as a team to be more consistent,” Sander said.
