“I’m very gratified and frankly humbled by the results of the election,” he said in a speech at Four Points Vancouver Airport Hotel on Saturday. “I know that I’ve never had that kind of a total before. But we worked very hard to get it. It was a full campaign with all the facets of any campaign.” Richard Lee finished a distant second with 10,667 votes, while Cliff Wei received support from just 1,088 voters. Brodie offered thanks to his campaign team, singling out his wife Christine Brodie. “People tell me that it’s a good thing she doesn’t run because she’s much more popular than I.” He was first elected as a councillor in 1996 and won the office of mayor in the 2001 by-election. While his chief opponent took jabs at him dur-

ing all-candidates meetings, Brodie ran a campaign focused on the future, promising to work on expanding parks and facilities, while supporting the environment and helping to create jobs in an affordable, safe community. In an interview Tuesday, Brodie said he was pleased for the strong support from voters. “I attempted to communicate the issues that I felt were important, and canvas people on the approaches that they felt we should be taking. In general it was an endorsement of the direction we were taking things.” But there’s always room to improve, said Brodie. “I’ve got lots of ideas about a little bit here and a little bit there, and how we can improve the overall situation.”

Voter turnout in Saturday’s civic election rose to 32.4 per cent in Richmond—the highest number since the 2002 election. Voters cast a total of 40,245 ballots, boosting turnout by nine points over the 2011 election, when just 23.7 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot. Richmond also had a record number of candidates competing for council and school board jobs, and a record number of slates. The Richmond Community Coalition, one of six slates that fielded candidates Saturday, took credit for the higher turnout, having founded itself with a goal to increase civic engagement. See Page 6

Richmond gets a new-look school board Four new trustees on board of education by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Bill McNulty.

Bill McNulty tops the council polls by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter It was a great election night for Richmond First, which saw three of its council candidates finish among the top four at the polls. •Full election results, p. 10 Coun. Bill McNulty was the top vote-getter, with Coun. Linda McPhail and Derek Dang finishing in third and fourth spots. “I’m very honoured that the people in Richmond saw fit to give our team super support, confidence and trust.” Richmond First’s Andy Hobbs finished just 482 votes behind ex-Olympian and independent candidate Alex Loo for the eighth and final council seat. Another candidate, Elsa Wong, finished 15th. While McNulty noted the buzz in the community was about change, he said Saturday’s outcome suggests locals are happy with the city’s direction. McNulty said he’s looking forward to again working with Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “I think it augers well for a very vibrant city.” Asked about the direction council will be taking in the coming weeks, McNulty said Richmond First campaigned about making the city a safe and secure place to be. “We will continue to study and analyze how to make it safer,” he said. While other parties campaigned about reviewing tax hikes, McNulty insisted: “We’re very frugal here at the city.” He clarified that there is no automatic tax hike policy, though he conceded that inflation is an annual reality, that utilities go up every year, and that contracts with city staff and both outside and inside workers have contracted annual increases that the city must honour. “I always in every decision I make, I keep the taxpayer in mind.”

Change swept over the Richmond Board of Education Saturday, as the majority of its newly-elected school trustees will be serving in political office for the first time—including two independents. Jonathan Ho, Ken Hamaguchi, Sandra Nixon and Alice S. Wong are the new faces on a board whose remaining seats were reclaimed by Richmond First incumbents Donna Sargent, Debbie Tablotney and Eric Yung. Two of the new trustees—Hamaguchi and Nixon—were elected as independents, something rarely seen in a city where slates dominate school board. “Nobody was more surprised than I was,” said Nixon, who watched the results at home with her family. “I was saying to myself a few days beforehand if I was in the top 12 I’d feel that I’d done pretty well.” Nixon, 44, has two children in Richmond schools and is a minister at Grace Memorial United Church in Vancouver. She’s hoping to bring to the board a “really independent voice” free of party ties. That independence might have earned her votes, along with those from voters looking for change after a long teachers’ strike.

New trustees: Sandra Nixon, Alice S. Wong, Ken Hamaguchi and Jonathan Ho.

“Whether it’s legitimate or not, I think there was a perception, (with) the strike especially, that trustees weren’t doing enough to speak out, or could have done something differently.” Nixon said she’ll advocate for better funding for local schools, and also plans to address Richmond’s lack of an LGBTQ policy addressing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning issues. “I’m hoping to have the board take another look at that, especially since we’re only one of a couple of school districts in the Lower Mainland that doesn’t have a specific policy.” Hamaguchi, 55, is the executive director of Seafair Minor Hockey Association and a behaviour consultant who works with people with autism. He suggested the increase in voter turnout helped independents. “I kind of get a sense this year that

more people came out, that they were hoping to vote in not just a regular slate of people,” he said. Hamaguchi also pledged to advocate for funding while making the best of what the district has. “I see a lot of parallels to running a hockey association to school board,” he said. “To me the key…has to be supporting the people who really do the work, essentially the teachers, the principals, the special ed assistants, and even the custodial people, the maintenance people.” Alice S. Wong was the lone winner for the new Renew Richmond slate. Wong—who has the same name as a Richmond MP—is a longtime resident active in parent groups, serving as president of the Richmond Chinese Parents’ Association and vicepresident of the Richmond District Parents Association. Jonathan Ho, an employee with TD

Bank Group, won with the Richmond Community Coalition in his second try at a seat. Saturday’s election also marked the first time RITE has been shut out of the board since the party—now named RITE Richmond—was formed ahead of the 1999 election. Incumbent RITE candidates Rod Belleza and Norm Goldstein both lost their seats. Belleza, a two-term trustee, lost by 581 votes, while Goldstein, who served a single term, finished 1,076 votes back of seventh spot. Two incumbents didn’t run for reelection. Kenny Chiu is running for a federal seat with the Conservatives in the new Richmond riding of Steveston-Richmond, while Grace Tsang made an attempt at a council seat on Saturday but finished well back in the 18th position. •More school trustee coverage, p. 10.

Third time lucky as Day earns council seat by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Saturday’s election results, which saw Carol Day win a council seat as did six incumbents, reflected that local voters aren’t ready for a huge change, but they do want to see checks and balances. “I’m thrilled of course, absolutely thrilled, to be a new Richmond city councillor but I cannot believe that my four boys did not come in with me,” she said, referring to Michael Wolfe finishing 830 votes behind eighth-place finisher Alexa Loo in his bid for a council seat, while incumbent trustees Rod Belleza and Norm Goldstein finished outside the top seven board of education candidates, and Michael Starchuk finishing well back. “The four fellows that I ran with are the most outstanding men that I know,” she said. Day pledged to be the watchdog of city council for the residents of Richmond. “I’ve been doing that for 20 years. I believe that the people of Richmond have not been heard, and I’m going to make sure that changes.” Day sees the first portion of her four-year term spent “mending fences, building relationships.”

“Evelina Halsey-Brandt and Linda Barnes did an outstanding job as councillors for many, many, many years. What I bring to council is a new perspective, a new energy, and I speak for the people of Richmond,” she said. Day wasn’t surprised that all the incumbents on council had successful campaigns. She called the Stop the Tax Hike campaign by the Richmond Community Coalition “rhetoric.” “Clearly nobody was buying what they were selling,” Day said. “I’m pleased to see that the voters saw past that.” During her campaigning, Day said she heard from residents that they’re tired of the automatic increases to property taxes. She believes in fiscal responsibility, and noted that when she was a school trustee, she helped deal with a $6 million funding shortfall. “What it forced us to do was to really look hard and deep at where the money was spent.” At the school district, they found a way to save money. “What we discovered was that...we were working in silos. One department didn’t know what the other department was doing...Subsequently we were forced to be more efficient. I think we

can do the same thing with Richmond city hall, really the principal is identical.” What other message did she get from Saturday’s results? Local residents aren’t ready for a huge change, but they do want to see checks and balances, she said. Wolfe said this may be his last kick at the can in his pursuit of public office.

He said he doesn’t know if he can afford to live in Richmond for the next four years, but he said the highlight of his night was seeing Day win a spot on council. “Now when I go to city council meetings...I’m 100 per cent confident there will be a council member who is there respecting the views of the public, where in the past

my 48 presentations to council for the most part went to blank stares with zero comments with actually insulting behaviour.” Day first ran for council in 2005. She was elected to school board in 2008, then ran for council in 2011, finishing 302 votes behind Ken Johnston for the eighth and final seat on council.

Improving traffic flow at City Centre waterfront Planned road improvements near Dinsmore Bridge and River Road The realignment of River Road is a key component of the City Centre Area Plan to establish and expand the Middle Arm Waterfront Park. The now closed River Road, between Hollybridge Way and Gilbert Road, will be converted to public open space. The temporary road alignment will ultimately be replaced by a new four-lane arterial roadway to be constructed along the former CP Rail corridor. Additional measures will be undertaken by the end of this year to improve overall traffic operations of the new GilbertRiver Road intersection. These include: overhead directional signs, increased left-turn capacity, advance left-turn arrow phase

and vehicle detection to enable the extension of green time for queued trafﬁc.

commitment to serve the community.” Voter turnout jumped Saturday over the 2011 election—32.4 per cent, compared to 23.4 per cent in 2011—and Au said that’s something the coalition should take credit for. “I have no reservation to claim credit for this because of our team, because of our commitment for public engagement,” he said. “We’ll be committed to what we have promised to do, and we are also committed to a long term

engagement with the public.” Ken Johnston, who won his sixth council term and finished seventh in the council race, said he was surprised at the result based on a hard-fought campaign and a feeling voters wanted something

An upstart political party that ran nine candidates in Saturday’s municipal election managed to elect just three. Chak Au and Ken Johnston won re-election to council running with the Richmond Community Coalition, along with firsttime politician Jonathan Ho, who won a seat on school board. Rob Howard, one of the party’s founders, called the results “unsettling,” but told the party’s war room—near the Richmond Olympic Oval—he was proud of their campaign and slate of diverse candidates. “I really believe that (it’s) not exactly the start that we expected, but one that we need to be proud of for a new organization,” he said. “We always said this was a long term engagement for us. I mean that, and our board means that and I’m sure our candidates meant that.” The coalition defined itself as a party committed to increasing voter turnout. Its six council candidates also pushed two key issues: controlling spending and term limits. They adopted the slogan “stop the tax hike” to promise an outside review of city hall spending in an effort to curb automatic property tax increases. Candidates also took a pledge to limit themselves to two terms. Winning candidates said Saturday they’ll keep that pledge. Au, 60, finished second in the polls in his second council election. Running with the RITE party in 2011, Au finished seventh. “To me I feel that I’ve received the first report card from the public…and I’m glad I got a good result,” he said. Behind every vote there’s recognition but there’s also an expectation, he said, adding he aims to serve Richmond better over the next four years. Au also addressed Saturday night’s crowd of supporters. “I think the most important thing isn’t about winning. I think the most important thing is that all of us here have made a commitment, a long-term

other than status quo. “The voters are always right. I learned that a long time ago. I’m just surprised,” said the 63-yearold. “I thought there’d be more shift from incumbents, that more of us would be in jeopardy, because there was a feeling of uneasiness in the community this time.” Johnston, previously a member of Richmond First, said the coalition became a force in just five months—and won’t disappear. “We’re going to continue on with the town-hall meetings, we’re going to continue on as a between elections group, and I believe we’ll grow stronger.” Dan Baxter had the third best finish for the coalition in the council race. Finishing 11th, Baxter said the election was still a great

ineteen-thirties New York swings to life in this high-octane, tap dancing musical, Crazy For You. Bachelor Bobby Child begrudgingly works at the family bank while he plugs away at his theatre career, but after he’s forced to foreclose on a property in the middle of nowhere, Bobby ﬁnds that his love of theatre and the love of his life are waiting for him in the most unlikely of places. In order to get both, he’ll have to pull a few tricks (and fake moustaches) from his theatrical back pocket! Between the hijinx and hilarity, you’ll be tapping your feet and humming along to the famous songs, I Can’t Be Bothered Now, Bidin’ My Time, I Got Rhythm, Naughty Baby, They Can’t Take That Away from Me, But Not for Me, Nice Work If You Can Get It, Embraceable You and Someone to Watch Over Me. Directed by last year’s leading lady in The King and I, Barbara Tomasic takes on this year’s challenge, promising lots of glitz and glam. She tells us, “I am so excited about this show! It has everything I love about musical theatre: tap dancing, showgirls, a love story, a farce, and it’s all set to Gershwin music—it’s going to be really fun!” Don’t miss this all-time classic musical with fabulous dance routines in December at Gateway Theatre. It will leave you not just humming the tunes as you leave the theatre, but singing the songs for days after!

In Surrey, voter turnout was 36.2 per cent, the highest in 24 years. In Vancouver, 44 per cent of voters filled out ballots, up from 34 per cent in the previous election. Richmond political observer Nick Loenen pointed to an upsurge in national pride, brought on by media coverage of terror-

membrance Day becomes a little more meaningful, more people turn out, and a week later we go to the polls. I think that’s what fuels it.” Interest in advance polls was also higher this year. The 6,558 ballots marked through five days of early voting opportunities was 47 per cent higher than 2011. The new council will be sworn in Dec. 1, while the new school board will hold its inaugural meeting Dec. 8.

That all paid off with her election night victory, though she noted that she received just 695 more votes than in 2011, despite the extra effort.

Asked about the significant increase in voter turnout, Loo said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome.â&#x20AC;? She noted that the increase happened without having to open local shopping malls to the voting process. She credited all the candidates and parties for getting people more engaged this goaround. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people in Richmond do care.

Plenty of people are engaged.â&#x20AC;? Loo is a two-time Olympic snowboarder, competing the 2006 and 2010 Games. Loo ran as an independent, as did her ally Dave Semple, who was most recently general manager of parks for the City of Richmond. Semple finished 14th out of 31 among the candidates for councillor.

EDITORIAL: 32.7% voter turnout isn’t great, but we’ll take it

ith a record field of candidates, Richmond voters had plenty to chose from on election night. And the record field helped contribute to the highest voter turnout in 12 years. While basically only 1 in 3 voters bothered to make the effort, it is cause for celebration in a city has seen only 22 to 24 per cent turnout in recent years. Interestingly, the higher turnout didn’t necessarily translate into more votes for many incumbents. While Mayor Malcolm Brodie received a whopping 6,000-plus more votes and Bill McNulty and Chak Au were up 1,500 and 2,000 votes respectively, many other incumbents saw only slight changes. That’s certainly a tribute to the many great candidates who didn’t get in. This year’s election also saw a record number of slates. Richmond First, which has been the dominant slate, elected 3 of 5 candidates on both school board and council. The upstart Richmond Community Coalition elected two councillors—incumbents Au and Ken Johnston—plus one school trustee. Carol Day (RITE Richmond) and Harold Steves (RCA) were also

elected to council, but significantly, independents were also a factor. Alexa Loo joins Mayor Brodie as an independent on council, while the board of education saw two independents elected in Ken Hamaguchi and Sandra Nixon.

While slate politics dominates other civic races, such as in Vancouver, Burnaby and Surrey, it’s interesting to see that no slates have had a majority on council since the days of Mayor Greg Halsey-Brandt and now Richmond First no longer

has a majority on the board of education. Hopefully, it’s a recipe for consensus building. Lastly, congratulations to all candidates who took the time to run for public office. Your dedication is appreciated.

What to do with school boards?

B.C. Views Tom Fletcher

he saddest manifestation of British Columbia’s modern democracy has produced its judgment, with the election of school trustees for the next four years. There are still independent, community-minded trustees, but mostly “boards of education” have become the neglected, exploited stepchild of B.C. politics. Teacher union locals and CUPE-dominated “labour

councils” organize candidate forums and ask most of the questions, often to former teachers holding and seeking school board seats. Unions finance the campaigns of those who pledge to act as a bullhorn for constant demands for more provincial money, and instruct their members to vote for what should be called the Conflict of Interest slate. This has been going on for so long in B.C. it is seen as normal. Trustees who most loudly plump for their union masters tend to win, thanks to low turnout. The public mostly doesn’t give a damn, since school property tax authority was centralized in Victoria many years ago, largely because of this special interest pressure. The classic case is in Coquitlam, where one could almost hear the theme from <I>The Godfather</ I> as local CUPE boss Dave Ginter appeared before the board of education in February. He informed the

elected trustees that their collective financial acumen wasn’t up to his standards and some of them would have to go this fall. “Obviously, the chore I have is to find new trustees,” Ginter clarified in an interview with the <I>Tri-City News</I> as the union’s candidate selection machine stirred to life. Ginter seems to have made them an offer they couldn’t refuse on Saturday, with formerly unionblessed trustees turfed out in favour of a new group. Then there’s Vancouver Island, where the 1970s survived, at least until Saturday night. Cowichan school board got itself fired by the province in 2012 for refusing to submit a balanced budget. Two of the trustees who think the job is to flout the balanced budget rule and instead demand a “needs budget” ran again. They were joined on a slate by two others who apparently still believe the answer to every problem is

to shout for “more government funding.” They didn’t get in, as voters appear to have been unimpressed by seeing their school board replaced by a provinciallyappointed manager for two years. That brings up a modest proposal. How about an appointed trustee for each of the 60 school districts? School boards have lost authority over taxation, curriculum (another area of constant union social engineering pressure) and now labour relations. Do we really need them any more? After the 2013 B.C. election, the Christy Clark government wasted no time taking control of union bargaining on behalf of school districts. Trustees were pushed out of the bargaining agency, no longer trusted to represent taxpayers for that duty either. The puppet role of some school trustees was evident in the recent teacher strike. When the province opted to pay parents for

the disruption, there was a chorus of protest from those supposedly elected to represent the interests of parents and taxpayers. School tax rates are now set by cabinet order, and the B.C. Liberal government is considering a move to regulate local industrial taxes. (This would presumably be to keep union-influenced municipalities from trying to get too many golden eggs from those liquefied natural gas plants.) Would Education Minister Peter Fassbender and his team continue their remake by amalgamating or eliminating school boards? Not likely. With a rare teacher settlement in place, trustees will have less incentive to grandstand. And their meetings may become something more than union beef sessions.

Have Dinner with BC’s Next Premier!

Thank you to all of the candidates Editor: The recently concluded municipal elections were unique in many ways. It is commendable that here in Richmond we had 31 candidates for eight council seats and 18 for the seven school trustees. I would like to congratulate each one of the candidates for putting forward their names for public office. It is a huge commitment to wage a campaign for at least six weeks. During this time, the candidates had to take time away from their families, work and other preoccupa-

tions and focus solely on their election campaign. Usually, they have to count on a large contingent of volunteers—their relatives, friends and wellwishers. This is an enormous commitment. The right to vote is a very precious right. In a democracy, it is the most cherished right and responsibility. In this context, it was commendable, that in Richmond, more than 40,000 citizens took the time to go out and vote for their favourite candidates. This figure could have been better. However, relatively speaking

Richmond voter turnout wasn’t too bad. I would like to congratulate Mayor Malcolm Brodie, the eight councillors and seven school trustees for making the cut. They have a huge responsibility to serve our community to the best of their abilities. Finally, a vote of thanks should go to our local media including The Richmond Review for excellent coverage of the candidates and the issues affecting our community. Balwant Sanghera Richmond

Richmond NDP Annual Fall Fundraising Dinner

Friday November 28 Doors Open: 5pm Dinner: 6pm at

An assignment for school trustees Editor: Election as a school trustee has always been used as a stepping stone to higher office, so would it be justifiable to assume that most if not all of those who are elected to the position might be more concerned with satisfying their political ambitions than with improving the schooling system in this city? One way to ascertain each trustee’s qualifications for the job would be to ask them to do what I had to during my studies for my education degree at UBC: write a paper outlining a philosophy of education including a coherent rationale for why

you believe it would represent a viable approach to providing the best possible learning opportunities for students. Relate the following issues: a) the general function of education; b) most effective teaching methods; c) valid and meaningful methods for assessing student capabilities and progress; d) effective ways of articulating all three levels of schooling; e) balancing STEM and ART studies; f ) valid and justifiable criteria for evaluating teacher qualifications and effectiveness. Is it unreasonable to ask a school trustee—a person who will be making important

decisions related to your child’s schooling—to be able to articulate such a profile or address these and other critically important education-related questions in an informed way? During the election campaign how many of the candidates demonstrated any understanding of or concern for issues such as these?

Donna Sargent topped the polls among trustees by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

Richmond First incumbents topped the polls in the school trustee race. “It’s just really humbling,” said Richmond school board chair Donna Sargent, who was the top vote-getter among trustee hopefuls on Saturday. “You’ve worked hard and your community has recognized that.” Sargent said she’s looking forward to working with the new board members, noting that she’s never worked with more than three new additions to the board of education. “I’m really excited about that.” But the night was bittersweet, she said, as other council and school board hopefuls running with Richmond First came short of their goals, including Andy Hobbs, Elsa Wong, Peter Liu and Kevin Lainchbury. But Richmond First had three candidates who topped the trustee polls—with Eric Yung and Debbie Tablotney joining Sargent—and that gives them a strong mandate to “continue the hard work and continue the advocacy you’ve done and engaging the community.” Asked what the top issues will be

for the next four years, Sargent said she’ll continue to advocate to ensure adequate funding for public education. Talks will continue about the district’s inclusion policy and supporting local classrooms, she said. As well, the district will be embarking on the second phase of its facilities review, and has hired a consultant to engage the community. That process will take about two years, she said. There are some parts of the city where enrolment is growing, while older established neighbourhoods are experiencing a decline. To ensure the even distribution of students, the board will be asking residents if the board should consider changing the current catchment area boundaries. The new trustees will be sworn in on Dec. 8, and on that same night, they’ll be hitting the ground running, with board decisions that they’ll need to vote on right away. The new trustees will be invited to the school district’s headquarters at Granville and Minoru Boulevard next week, and will be invited to join other board members for dinner. “We have to be respectful that there are four new people before we ask them to make hard decisions. They have to be informed.” Sargent said she was “really excited” at seeing the increase in voter

turnout, and said there were likely many reasons for the jump. She believes the city did a good job with its advertising campaign, and noted that each party worked hard to address the issue of poor voter turnout in recent years. Menahwile, RITE Richmond board of education incumbents Rod Belleza and Norm Goldstein, found themselves on the outside looking in. Perhaps Belleza said it best:“People want change.” Belleza and Goldstein expressed their gratitude for their six and three years on the board of education. “I respect the verdict, the decision of the voters,” said Belleza, who was first elected in 2008 and became the first Filipino to be elected to public office in B.C. He wouldn’t rule out a return to politics in the future. “I would say thanks to all the voters for giving me the opportunity to serve for six years. I would encourage people from our (Filipino) community to run for public office and to represent the city of Richmond.” Goldstein said he was surprised by Saturday night’s outcome. “Of course I have to accept the choices made by the voters...I congratulate the people who won. I wish them the best of luck in solving the problems that are confronting education today.”

Wong wins by narrowest of margins First-time politician with same name as federal MP wins school board seat by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter The race for mayor wasn’t close, and Alexa Loo won the eighth and final councillor spot by several hundred votes. It was a different story for school board. The first of 44 polls reported results at 8:22 p.m., with Richmond First incumbents Donna Sargent, Debbie Tablotney and Eric Yung in the top three—where they

stayed for much of the night. But it was a dogfight for the remaining four spots. With 10 polls to go, Alice S. Wong was comfortably in fifth position. But with just one poll remaining she fell out of contention, and it appeared Richmond Community Coalition challenger Matt Pitcairn would win the final spot. The last poll, however, would turn the tables and Wong managed to beat Pitcairn by just 101 votes. “It was really exciting,” said Wong, 54, who was watching the results at her Renew Richmond party headquarters. Wong’s name is the same as Richmond’s current two-term MP. The school trustee-elect said she

deliberately added the initial S. to her name to differentiate herself. Wong conceded it’s possible her name’s familiarity helped on election night, but said she’s known for her volunteer work in schools and parent groups, having served as president of the Richmond Chinese Parents’ Association and vice-president of the Richmond District Parents Association. As a school trustee, Wong said she’ll be pushing for increased funding from the provincial government and advocating for school environments that improve student achievement. “We really believe that safe and healthy and inclusive environment in the school is really important for the students,” she said.

Support for Steves still strong Voters send veteran politician back to council by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Harold Steves maintained his hold on the council seat he’s held continuously since 1977, finishing fifth in the polls in Saturday’s civic election. The 77-year-old, who operates a small cattle farm in Steveston, finished with 14,417 votes— little changed from the 2011 election despite a spike in voter turnout. Steves ran alone for council under his Richmond Citizens Association banner after former running mate Linda Barnes announced her retirement last month. Jack Trovato joined Steves’ slate in the school board race, but finished out of the running at 14th. Priorities Steves cited for his new four-year term include establishing a planned farm school on the Garden City lands, redeveloping Steveston Harbour, increasing affordable housing, pushing for energy alternatives and boosting recycling and composting programs. He also intends on addressing transit and portexpansion issues. “I hope we can make some sense of our dys-

functional public transit system to provide better service and get more cars off the road. I hope we can influence the port to keep heavy industrial shipping of fossil fuels out of the Fraser River estuary and indeed slow the increase of such exports for the good of the planet. During this term we will finally have to admit that the climate is changing and develop plans to adapt to whatever those changes will bring.” Steves also weighed in on a new, well-funded party that made a strong push to unseat incumbents. He said the Richmond Community Coalition helped increase voter turnout by targeting the rival party Richmond First, which “doubled their efforts and got the vote out to oppose them.” He said voters weren’t fooled by the coalition’s “Stop the Tax Hike” campaign and its promise to

limit candidates to two terms. “As for the term limits that was clearly a means to discredit longtime councillors to lose enough

votes to defeat them. It backfired. All of the longtime councillors were reelected and Bill McNulty topped the (polls).” “Term limits were introduced in New York because organized crime was backing long-term councillors. However, the money simply made it easier for the crime bosses to elect the short-term councillors. In Richmond’s case term limits would simply favour candidates funded by developers.” Steves, who also served as an alderman in Richmond from 1968 to 1973, has long represented the city on the Metro Vancouver board, along with Mayor Malcolm Brodie.

Dental benefits: Every year, dental benefits are wasted, resources intended to benefit employees that go unclaimed. What’s worse, workers unaware of the benefits at their disposal, can be forced to unnecessarily dip into their own pockets when expensive problems reveal themselves in a dentist’s chair. Most dental benefits packages have a yearly limit that expires at either the end of the calendar year, or in some cases the fiscal year, Coppersmith Dental office manager Janice deFreitas and patient care coordinator Siea Peterson said. A procedure such as a root canal on a single problematic tooth can cost up to $1,800, while installing crowns on multiple teeth can be even more costly. Sometimes procedures can be strategically timed, so that two year’s worth of benefits can be used for the same related work. It’s a huge plus for patients to know their coverage,

sports Skater earns widespread respect through unrivaled determination by Don Fennell Sports Editor Claudia Makhanko-Tang earned something even more precious than gold at Skate Canada’s recent B.C./Yukon section championships in Prince George. She earned the respect of everyone around her. A back injury—later diagnosed as spondylitis (an inflammation of the vertebrae—in June kept her off the ice all summer, and when the shy 14-year-old Richmond teen finally was able to return to training in mid-September she contracted mononucleosis. That left her with literally only four training days to prepare for a competition featuring the elite age-group athletes in the province. The odds, to say the least, were overwhelming. But Makhanko-Tang remained determined, using that as further motivation to carve out a remarkable fifth-place finish in the Pre-Novice Ladies under-16 division. “I love to skate, and I really wanted to compete because I finally had my double axel. Last year that was a struggle for me,” she said. An alternate for the upcoming Skate Canada Challenge Dec. 3 to 7 in Pierrefonds, Que., she said she had endured some pain, which would come and go, before visiting a sports doctor who instructed her to stay off skates for at least the summer. She was worried she might not be able to skate again. Makhanko-Tang successfully landed the double axel in her first day back on ice, leaving her feeling “really good.” She said it reinforced her belief in her abilities as a skater and love for the sport. “I think it surprised me a little bit, but I wanted to show myself, and others, that you can overcome injuries and come back strong,” said the Grade 8 student at R.A. McMath Secondary. Long a fan of Patrick Chan, the 2014 Olympic silver medallist who announced in September his intention to

return to the competive circuit for the 2015-16 season, Makhanko-Tang is likewise a technically strong skater who feels she has added quite a lot of artistry to her performances and hopes to be able to qualify for the national challenge competition next year. Keegan Murphy, director of programs for Connaught’s competitive team, coaches Makhanko-Tang. He said her determination and subsequent performance at sectionals left him feeling exceptionally proud. “To me, she’s a hero of life (with what she’s had to overcome),” he said. “Her competitive drive is enormous and I’m so happy for her. Imagine what she could do when she’s totally healthy. Sometimes you don’t know what you’re capable of until you have to deal with it. I think the sky is the limit for her.”

Richmond Christian No. 1 by Don Fennell Sports Editor The Eagles are set to soar once more. After placing third in the recent Richmond high schools championship, the Richmond Christian senior girls’ volleyball team won the Lower Mainland single-A title for the second year in a row Thursday in Vancouver. Proving worthy of their No. 6 provincial ranking, the Eagles went undefeated by posting straight set victories over Carver Christian, Pemberton Secondary and host St. John’s in pool play and then outscored West Point Grey Academy and Mulgrave Secondary in the playoffs. Featuring Juliette Sutter, Emma Burton, Rebekah Prasad, Jaylen Yee, Kaitlynn Lam, Taylor Archibald, Makena Anderson, Madison Fleischer, Leah Goertz, Courtney Burkholder, Casey Ting and Hannah Dy Ning and coached by Karen Prinsloo and Mike Yee, the Eagles will play for the provincial title at Immaculata Regional High School in Kelowna Nov. 27 to 29. They will look to improve on last year’s seventh-place finish,

Sports Editor The march toward the provincial AA high school football championship continues for Hugh Boyd Trojans Friday when the host Parksville’s Ballenas Whalers in quarter-final playoff action. Kickoff is 4 p.m. “Ball possession will be a huge key this week. We want to control it on offence as much as we can, chew up some clock, and score when those opportunities arise,” said Hugh Boyd coach Bill Haddow. “And like any football game, turnovers and penalties will have their say. We need to have less of them than them.” Buoyed by a stellar offensive line, the Whalers’ ground game is as good as they come. Haddow said the line is aggressive and has many different blocking schemes to aid its strong backfield. Because of their ability to run, they also have a solid play-action passing game. “It’s going to be a challenge to stop them. They’ll get

their plays, but we have to make sure to keep them to a minimum,” said Haddow. The Whalers also boast an athletic and aggressive front on defence and a blitzing group of linebackers who rush on every play. That will force the Trojans to be especially disciplined . The Trojans are coming off an inspiring 26-20 firstround playoff win over Chilliwack’s G.W. Graham Grizzlies here last week. Haddow said it feels good to defeat a quality team in a big game. “The level of competition has racheted up over the last weeks, so that says a lot about our players,” he said.

National handball championship

PROTECT YOUR HOME

It was the Troy Kaczynski Show, again, Thursday at Minoru Arenas. The dynamic 20-yearold centre netted his second hat track in three games and seventh multiple-goal game of the season to power the Richmond Sockeyes to a 6-2 win over Grandview Steelers. The victory improved the Sockeyes’ season totals to 16-4-0-2 and within four points of the overall Pacific Junior Hockey League lead as

they prepare to host archrival Delta Ice Hawks (108-0-1) this Thursday at 7 p.m. Kaczynski, who leads the PJHL in scoring with 51 points in 22 games, now has 27 goals on the season. The three goal display against Grandview was his seventh multiple-goal game this season, which includes a four-goal outburst versus North Vancouver Wolf Pack in the second game of the year. Kacyznski, who has only been kept off the scoresheet three times this season, has

Kamloops Blazers spoiled what was otherwise a perfect weekend for the Richmond Blues at the recent Greater Vernon Minor Hockey Association Midget rep tournament, scoring a 5-2 win over Richmond Minor’s top team in the tournament final Sunday. The Blues, gearing up for Richmond Minor’s annual Christmas tradition—the Bantam/Midget tournament Dec. 26 to 31 featuring 66 teams from throughout North America—added two Bantam players, Dustin Withrow and Josh MacKenzie, to their lineup for the Vernon classic. The remaining Blues were Ryan Smith, Connor Coelho, Jordan Allen, Eddie Richardson, Mason Rai, Edvins Jansons, Brady Wang, Byron Leong, Tyler Hait, Adam Gilker, Arjun Badh, Alex Bernardini, Ryan Hart, Paris Jeyachandran, Gabe Mü, Jovan Jankovic and Evan Yang. Glenn Wheeler was head coach, with Harold Hait his assistant.

Hodder takes down Chaos After 10 games, Chaos has finally fallen from the ranks of the undefeated. And it was another Richmond team that achieved the feat as Hodder Tugs scored a 4-1 win over the Richmond Girls’ Soccer Association club that continues to sit atop the Metro Women’s Soccer League’s Third Division. Hodder never trailed in Sunday’s match at Hugh Boyd Park, with striker Victoria Downs opening the scoring with a fine shot in the 15th minute. Chaos was fortunate to equalize 10 minutes later as Kia Guindon found the net from five yards that found its way past keeper Sandra Chan. Hodder broke a close game open in the second half, starting with a long shot by midfielder Lindsay Wells that caught the corner of the Chaos goal. Only a few moments later another long shot found the range, this one by midfielder Amanda Ashizawa. Wells then finished the day with a strong penalty kick from 30 yards out. Chaos pulled out all the stops in a desperate comeback bid over the final 15 minutes, but to no avail. Chaos coach Al Groff complimented the determined effort by Hodder keeper Chan who stood tall . Now 8-1-1 on the season, Chaos plays in Vancouver against Van City FC next weekend, while Hodder also takes its game to the big city for a game versus Invivo at Andy Livington Park.
