Christmas Fund Drive promises twice the holiday cheer

Martin van den Hemel photo This Thursday’s (Nov. 27) Fourth Annual Richmond Christmas Fund Drive-Thru event has made it that much easier for locals to drop off their donations for local families in need, thanks to a partnership with River Rock Casino Resort. While people can still drop off their cash and toys at the Lansdowne Centre parking lot next to the Lansdowne Station of the Canada Line, donations will also be accepted at Bridgeport Station next to River Rock.

Richmond’s fourth annual Christmas Fund Drive-Thru is set for tomorrow morning at Lansdowne Centre. From 6 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., volunteers will set up next to the Canada Line station to collect donations of cash and toys for the Christmas Fund. Anyone who donates will be treated to a muffin and coffee. And a second drop-off location at River Rock Casino Resort promises to help ensure this year’s collection of cash and toys will be bigger and better than ever. “We’re very excited to have River Rock as a partner,” says Volunteer Richmond executive director Elizabeth Specht. “They’re really enthusiastic about being part of the event and the location is great, especially for those taking the Canada Line. You can make a donation, get your coupon, and hop on a train all i less than five minutes. It’s certainly a convenient way to go.” Specht says the fact the event is now in its fourth year speaks to support and generosity of the community. “Part of the fun is that we never know who will show up,” she said. “Last year, both the RCMP and Fire-Rescue stopped by to make donations. And Ideon Packaging brought a truck so big it wouldn’t fit under our tent.”

Suites versus cash is ‘apples and bananas,’ says councillor Policy allowing developers to contribute cash instead of secondary suites raises questions by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Developers subdividing single-family lots are getting licence to build by contributing little to affordable housing, two Richmond councillors charged Monday. City policy requires applicants for single-family rezonings to ensure half the subdivided lots have secondary suites—or provide cash for the

city’s affordable housing fund. Council heard at Monday’s meeting that two Steveston subdivision proposals intend to use the cash option. But that cash—$1 per square foot—versus a suite is no comparison, said Coun. Bill McNulty. “We’re talking apples and bananas here,” he said. “The amount that the developer is paying for this is really next to nothing compared to what that suite could be worth.” McNulty said the city needs affordable housing and “unless it’s a very large development, we don’t get anything.” “There’s some areas of Richmond where there’s a whole slew of single family subdivisions coming forward, and the city is getting zero for them.”

Black Friday is coming...

John Foster, the city’s manager of community social development, said staff are reviewing the affordable housing strategy and plan to address the matter of single-family projects in January. In one new rezoning file, applicant Oris Consulting Ltd./Citymark Properties is seeking to subdivide a single-family lot at 5440 Moncton St. into three—in an area subject to another proposal to turn six lots into 30. In this case, the applicant is proposing to contribute $5,980 to the affordable housing reserve instead of building a suite. In another application Li Qin Chen is seeking to split 10726 Hollybank Dr. into two properties. The applicant is proposing to hand over $5,897 in lieu of a suite.

Both projects received first reading Monday in a 7-2 vote. Coun. Harold Steves, the only other councillor to side with McNulty, told his council colleagues they don’t have to accept what a developer is offering regardless of city policy. “If we’re going to have integrated market (and affordable housing), then we have to go with a strategy that the developers should put in the suites or laneway housing or whatever, and not give us donations to cluster all the poor people in one building,” he said. Coun. Evelina Halsey-Brandt said she supports the applications because both follow current policy. “I would like both of these developers to build those suites, but I can’t force them to do it.”

Pipeline opponents get day in court B.C. Supreme Court to hear legal challenge of government’s approval of jet fuel pipeline project by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A B.C. Supreme Court judge will begin hearing arguments Wednesday from a citizens’ group intent on quashing a jet fuel pipeline project in Richmond. Two days are scheduled for a judicial review of a provincial decision made a year ago to allow jet fuel tankers on the Fraser River. The Vancouver Airport Fuel Project Opposition for Richmond group, or VAPOR, contends citizens weren’t offered a meaningful opportunity to comment on the $100-million project that will deliver jet fuel to YVR from tankers docking at Riverport. “We’re really questioning a lack of a fair process, and if you can’t fairly consult with us then we don’t think the development should be approved,” said Otto Langer, the group’s president. Last December, B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak granted a conditional environmental assessment certificate to Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation to barge fuel up the Fraser to a new tank farm at Riverport, where it would then be delivered to the airport via underground pipeline. B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office, which began its review in 2009, concluded there will be no significant adverse impacts. But Langer argues public consultation was “seriously inadequate.” He noted the public had just seven days to review the application and its 1,500 pages of technical material before the public comment period. Notices of opportunities to review the application and provide comments were vague, he added.

“We’re going to court because governments have taken away all citizens’ rights to participate in a fair process by neutering environmental legislation and watering down environmental assessment acts,” said Langer, adding his 20-member group believes there are better alternatives. “If the project is quashed, or if just the hearing process is highly criticized by the judge, we’d like to think that could have an overall impact on the way environmental impact reviews are done in British Columbia.” Langer believes a judge could issue a ruling by Christmas. The Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation declined to comment before the court hearing. It has yet to begin construction on the pipeline. Last week Richmond council reiterated its opposition to the project and offered support to VAPOR in a formal resolution, which stated council supports the intent of the judicial review “so that VAFFC is required to adopt an environmentally friendly and socially safer mode of transport for jet fuel to YVR.” Civic politicians also said the environmental review was unfair, lacked transparency and “did not properly consult with the public nor address the concerns of the city.” At Monday’s council meeting, Mayor Malcolm Brodie announced city council approved a contribution of $2,500 to VAPOR for its legal fees—estimated at $50,000—saying that “the provision of this onetime payment not be precedentsetting.” Jessy Bal photo Jada Bal is the creative director for her new startup company, “Creatively Crafted by Jada.” She designs and hand makes greeting cards for any and all occasions.

hildren are amazing little people. They have their own styles, thoughts and opinions. Some are great at sports and some are great at arts or theatre.

Matthew Hoekstra file photo Otto Langer, president of the VAPOR citizens’ group, speaks at a news conference at Garry Point Park last year. The group’s legal challenge of a jet fuel pipeline project is being heard in B.C. Supreme Court this week.

Jada Bal, 8, is one of those amazing children. Jada and her mom, Jessy, were involved in a horrible car accident in 2013. Their vehicle was rear ended, pushed into on-coming traffic and then hit head on. They escaped with their lives. They

were both treated at Richmond Hospital. Her mom suffers from extreme back pain and has been off from work since. Jada sustained whiplash and occasional stiffness in her back. Since the car accident, life has been financially and emotionally and physically tough for Jada and her mom. This, however, has not stopped Jada from keeping a positive outlook on life. She has decided to turn her bad experience into something beautiful and creative. Jada is the creative director for her new start-up company, “Creatively Crafted by Jada.” Jada designs and makes by hand greeting cards for any and all occasions. At first this was just a hobby-until she sold a few to her friends and family members. She has a passion for art and wanted to share it with others. Her goal is to sell her cards and donate

half of the sales proceeds to the Children’s Hospital and save the other half to buy a robot. Yes, a robot. Jada: “I chose to donate money to the Children’s Hospital because I want the kids to feel better.” Mom: “How does donating money help make the kids feel better?” Jada: “The money goes to the Doctors so they can buy new equipment to find new ways to help the kids feel better.” With an attitude like that who can say no to this 8 year old? Come show your support for Jada and her goal by purchasing her greeting cards at Dixon Craft Fair at Dixon Elementary Gymnasium tonight (Nov. 26) from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Admission is free. For more information see her Facebook page Creatively Crafted By Jada.

Dr. Danuta Skowronski.

This year’s flu shot may prove less effective than usual because the dominant virus now circulating has mutated significantly in the months since the vaccine was devised. The H3N2 strain—one of three targeted in this year’s flu vaccine —is thought to have changed its genetic makeup

enough to possibly thwart the antibodies that the vaccine activates. Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, is still recommending the vaccine, particularly for the elderly, the chronically ill and those with compromised immune systems. “It’s not a perfect match,” she said. “But for the high risk, even an imperfectly

matched vaccine is going to give cross protection. And for some people it could be life-saving.” She said the H3N2 strain tends to be particularly nasty to the elderly and may bring a deadlier flu season than usual. “We may see more hospitalizations or deaths this year,” Skowronski said. She said it’s particularly concerning that the flu has struck B.C. surprisingly

early this season, causing outbreaks in eight seniors’ care homes. The vaccine was formulated last February because it takes six to eight months to produce in large quantities and the H3N2 virus is thought to have since mutated while circulating in the southern hemisphere. Skowronski said it’s still not too late to get the shot and some protection when flu activity peaks in the weeks ahead, including any later surge of cases of influenza B, which tends to peak in March or April. The vaccine also targets the influenza B and H1N1 viruses, but they’re considered less likely to cause illness this flu season. Even in years when the vaccine is a better fit— last year’s was about 70 per cent effective against the then-dominant H1N1 strain—Skowronksi says everyone should wash their hands frequently and avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth. People who get the flu shot often mistakenly think any illness they contract can’t be flu and sometimes fail to get appropriate treatment. Anti-viral medication can stop or fight an influenza infection but must be given quickly, ideally within 12 hours of the start of symptoms.

End of an era for two Richmond councillors Linda Barnes and Evelina Halsey-Brandt say goodbye at their final council meeting by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Two long serving Richmond councillors said farewell to their council colleagues Monday at a council meeting that would be their last as sitting politicians. Councillors Linda Barnes and Evelina Halsey-Brandt were the only council incumbents not to seek re-election in the recent civic vote held on Nov. 15. Both announced their retirements before the fall campaign, and voters chose Carol Day

and Alexa Loo to take their spots on council. “Thanks to you all. It’s been a wonderful 15 years,” said Barnes, holding back tears. “I’m not going away. I’m going to keep my eye on all of you.” Halsey-Brandt told fellow councillors that serving the public as a civic politician is an honour and a privilege. “I wish everyone the best of luck. I will always be in Richmond, whether physically or not. My heart will be here, my thoughts will be here,” she said.

“Richmond is what it is because of all the people who care enough to run and make decisions.” Mayor Malcolm Brodie said council would truly miss the outgoing councillors, both of whom have had long tenures on council. “I’m sure that you’ll be quick to point out the error of our ways and give us your thoughts,” he said. Barnes, a retired Richmond School District employee, was first elected to city council in 1999. Halsey-Brandt,

a retired hospital worker, joined council in 1990, serving continuously save for a fiveyear period. Both offered thanks to city staff and spoke of their appreciation for residents who made their views known—by telephone, e-mail or, as Halsey-Brandt said, in Safeway while her ice-cream was melting. “That is such an invaluable thing that you have done, which is to share your time and your thoughts with me, and please continue to do that with the new councillors and with the current councillors that are there. That is what’s called accountability in our democratic process,” said HalseyBrandt. Richmond’s new council will be sworn in at an inaugural public council meeting Monday on Dec. 1, at Richmond City Hall. A reception will follow.

EDITORIAL: Good reasons to stay in Canada on Black Friday Many Canadians heading down to the U.S. to take advantage of Black Friday sales probably think it’s no big deal to shop outside the country. After all, many of the stores at local malls are U.S.-based chain stores anyway — really, what difference does it make to head south? Well, the truth is, taking your hard-earned dollars out of the country does hurt Canada and here’s why: jobs and taxes. Dollars that stay in Canada keep Canadians employed. It’s that simple. If you spend in Washington, you are keeping Americans employed, and that’s a good thing — for Americans. But your neighbours here in Richmond need jobs, too, and Canadian retailers are employing your kids, your neighbours’ kids, and moms, dads and grandparents of kids who live here. These jobs enable your neighbours to pay taxes, which keeps our social welfare safety net, including public health care, intact. If that doesn’t convince you to shop local, here are a few more reasons: • Shopping diversity: Small business owners offer unique products that you can’t get anywhere else and our marketplace would be poorer without them. Instead of heading south to shop and spending all that money on gas

As Black Friday returns, remember that dollars that stay in Canada keep Canadians employed. If you spend in Washington, you are keeping Americans employed, and that’s a good thing — for Americans.

and food, check out one of the many local gift shops in Richmond. By shopping at these small local stores, you will enrich the marketplace and ensure there are more interesting places to buy goods in your neighbourhood. • Price check: There are some products available in the U.S. that

are cheaper but many others, such as electronics, for example, are basically the same price in the Lower Mainland as they are in, say Bellingham, especially once you figure in the dollar difference. Other issues to consider are the environmental benefits of driving less and keeping your carbon

footprint small, and shopping local. Not only will you be putting your dollars to work in a way that provides economic spin-offs for your community, you won’t have to sit in a border lineup. Now that sounds like a good deal. -Black Press

Liquor changes could push up prices

B.C. Views

Tom Fletcher

hen the B.C. government announced its latest changes to liquor distribution, the reaction was not what I expected. Private store representatives complained bitterly that the government is allowing further expansion of fridges and “cold rooms” in selected government liquor stores, and longer operating hours that include more Sunday openings. Those hours,

along with non-union staff, are the private stores’ big advantages as things stand in B.C.’s hybrid liquor retailing system. The B.C. Government Employees’ Union didn’t seem at all perturbed that state-run stores’ key advantage was also going to be gone effective April 1. That would be preferential wholesale pricing, in which the government’s monopoly wholesaler sells to them at cost and to private stores at higher rates. How much higher? Liquor Distribution Branch officials were carefully vague on that, and it varies depending on which of the 22 wholesale categories you look at. They released a graph that suggests the average wholesale cost to government stores might be going up 10 to 15 per cent to create a “level playing field” with private stores. That wholesale price difference is the main reason private stores have

generally higher retail prices. And the majority of the province’s revenue of nearly $1 billion a year comes from this monopoly wholesale business, where the hidden tax is coyly termed a “mark-up.” When the new, simplified system comes in next spring, a bottle of hard liquor will have a “markup” of 124 per cent. That’s right, LDB more than doubles the price with its wholesale liquor tax. And if it’s premium booze, anything valued at more than $21 a litre will get an extra luxury tax on top of that. Coolers and ciders will see a 73 per cent mark-up. Wines are taxed at 89 per cent, with extra luxury tax on premium wines. Beer gets a per-litre tax with ascending rates for small, medium and large breweries. Then of course there is federal and provincial sales tax applied to all of it. Cheers! Premier Christy Clark acknowledged that the

first guiding principle of this overhaul is to keep that government revenue coming. The new BCGEU president, Stephanie Smith, doesn’t sound like your bullhorn-toting socialist of yore. She insists she’s gung-ho to compete head to head with those private interlopers and get back some lost market share, particularly on the highvolume cold beer sales. The union has another ace in the hole. Its current contract stipulates that LDB can’t close stores. In some small towns there are government stores that lose money, particularly since they’ve had more private competition. But at least for the duration of this BCGEU contract, the government retail arm will continue to operate in some places as a perverse social program, subsidizing retail clerk jobs that pay nearly twice what private retail pays. And let’s face it, running

a till at a liquor store is not rocket surgery. Private and government store staff have to take the same training, and liquor inspector sting operations have increased vigilance on ID checks in all stores. With higher wholesale prices applied to government stores, this kind of artificial support will cost more. The only way LDB could maintain it without subsidizing it from the wholesale windfall would be to raise retail prices. The LDB says this new simplified system is “not intended to impact consumer pricing.” Note the careful choice of words. Oh, one last thing. There is another new tax in the works. It will be applied to higher-alcohol beverages, in an effort to reduce adverse health effects. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@ blackpress.ca

20th Annual REALTORS Care®

Blanket Drive Ends Soon!

Richmond is not a vacation home Editor: I'd like to congratulate all of the candidates for council and trustee who submitted their names to run for public office. Democracy is strengthened when more people, of varying backgrounds and viewpoints run for office. I'd like to thank the Richmond voters for piping up and voting. Voter turnout increased and that was a goal of every candidate and slate in the election. More citizen participation means more people are represented in government and can have a say. I'd like to congratulate the newly elected or re-elected representatives to city council specifically—as they have some

extremely large issues to tackle over the next four years. Housing is the number-one issue in the city. Affordable housing units are limited and poverty rates are rising. Young people are moving out of the city at an alarming rate. Families see property values rising which makes selling their Richmond home and moving away to Burnaby or Langley or Surrey to purchase a similar home for less extremely attractive. More and more condos are being built with at least 44 more approved by the last council and still to be built. Many of these sit either half-empty or bought by foreign investors.

Last I checked, Richmond is not a vacation home. It's a vibrant, growing city that is unique. Unique for its farmland, unique for its green spaces, and unique for its diversity. It's a town that I have spent all my life in and that many Richmondites reading this letter cherish. I have hope that this new council will tackle this colossal issue and put the will of the people ahead of the will of developers. These next four years could be the best four years or the worst four years in Richmond's history —but for sure, they will be the most important four years. Let's get to work. Ramesh Ranjan Richmond

Community helps the food bank Editor: A big thank you to the many schools, businesses, organizations, and individuals who held food and cash donation drives through Thanksgiving and Halloween. Thanksgiving came early this year with the BC Thanksgiving Food Drive on Sept. 20. Volunteers and our community came together to collect and donate over 14 000 lbs of food. Special thanks to the Church of the Latter Day Saints for their hard work organizing the drive and allowing their centre to be a depot for donations. The giving season continued into November as schools held Halloween Trick or Eat food drives. Many individuals and organizations also helped by collecting food at Halloween parties or displays. The 3500 pounds of food that was donated gave immediate help to our neighbours in need. Thank you to everyone who generously gave to one of these initiatives and to all who give at other times of the year. As you may or may not know, 100% of the Richmond Food Bank’s funding is through food and cash donations from our public and corporate donors. Your support goes to provide nutritious grocery parcels for more than 1400 people in a typical week. We’re grateful to be a part of such a generous and supportive community. Richard Rand President, Richmond Food Bank Society

business High flying business sets sail in Richmond West Coast Flying Trapeze perseveres past robbery by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Enabling and encouraging people to dangle from their fingertips dozens of feet in the air, and launch themselves toward a stranger, isn’t exactly your average, everyday business. It’s precisely that unique, thrilling nature of the flying trapeze that Chris Johnston hopes will draw people and businesses to his new venture. The 34-year-old opened West Coast Flying Trapeze earlier this month at 23591 Dyke Rd. in Hamilton, near the border with Queensborough. West Coast held its grand opening on Nov. 15, a bit later than planned after thieves broke into their business and stole about $10,000 worth of equipment, including the safety netting that separates the high flyers from the concrete floor, as well as cables and bars. But the company got back on its feet thanks to an indiegogo.com crowdfunding campaign where it

raised $19,000 in less than a month. “It was solely because of the community that we were able to keep our doors open,” he said. “If we had not received that support, we would have had to turn people away.” A Red Deer native, Johnston said he’s been teaching and performing the flying trapeze for about a decade all over North America. About two years ago, he and two of his friends—Colleen Forrest and Dave Cavaletto—started crafting plans to open a business in the Vancouver area. While there used to be a flying trapeze facility in Whistler, today West Coast is the only such company west of Toronto. From offering lessons for thrill-seekers, to a great option for birthday parties, and a team-building alternative for local businesses, West Coast offers many options while adhering to strict safety standards that ensures every flyer is monitored by three people at all times, Johnston said. Children as young as six can take lessons, and the oldest person he’s seen on the trapeze was 86, he said. Classes are available from Monday to Saturday. For more information about West Coast, call them at 604-619-1212 or visit their website at www.westcoastflyingtrapeze.com.

More and more retailers making extra effort to convince Christmas buyers to shop local first by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Unless you’ve been in a cave for the past couple of weeks, you know this is a big week for retailers both north and south of the border. In fact, it’s a tug-of-war for your dollars. At local malls, including Blundell Centre, Richmond Centre and Lansdowne Centre, retailers are rolling up their sleeves to earn your business. There’s a mall-wide sale marking Black Friday, an American retailing tradition that follows the U.S. Thanksgiving Day that draws huge numbers of Canadian shoppers to brave the border line-ups in pursuit of saving money. Each year, Lansdowne Centre marketing director Bronwyn Bailey said more and more retailers are getting on board the Black Friday sales event.

Everything you need, and so much more.

letters Candidates showed respect during campaign Editor: Just wanted to take a moment to thank all Richmond residents for taking the few minutes from their day to vote on Nov. 15th. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thankful for the interesting people I met, thought provoking views I heard and a new found appreciation for the diversity of our rapidly growing city. I was impressed with all candidates for the respect shown each other and individual motivation to serve residents with their own approach. Running as an independent candidate is both challenging and rewarding experience. Like a small business entrepreneur, candidates need to make their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;businessâ&#x20AC;? or campaign successful very quickly. While the parties are more like a franchise, buying in to a established model with all its tools, marketing and support, independent candidates donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that luxury. Most do not win a seat but those who do have a unique opportunity to help craft the vision for our city into the future. I trust that Richmond will be well-served by all incumbents re-elected plus the new voices of Carol Day and Alexa Loo on Council. I look forward to continuing my service to the community and working with others on community projects. Jerome Dickey Richmond

If you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complain Editor: We would like to thank the citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Richmond for their support in the civic election and congratulate all winning candidates and those who candidates who put their names forward. A special congratulations to Renew Richmond candidate Alice S. Wong who was elected to school trustee Running for office is not an easy feat when competing with slates with big money or name recognition especially when you are running with a new slate or as an independent. Before we put our names forward to run for council, we spoke with many citizens who wanted change. This election the citizens who voted liked the status quo and wanted things the way they were. This is what is great about the democratic process, the people have spoken and we all must respect their decision.

If you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complain. We were excited to see an increase in the number of voters in this election. It is a privilege that means so much around the world but very few take the time to exercise this privilege. We urge all citizens of Richmond to get involved and hold accountable all our elected official for the next four years to ensure our voices and concerns are heard and our hard earned tax dollars are spent with the utmost care. During this journey, we met some great people and learned a great deal about Richmond. Our city has some great qualities and attractions that need to be preserved. We hope you will share our continued vision to make Richmond a great to live, work and play. Adil Awan, Grace Tsang and Alice S. Wong Richmond

Trojans’ campaign ends abruptly, but with plenty of promise by Don Fennell Sports Editor The season that almost wasn’t ended abruptly for the Hugh Boyd Trojans Friday, but not before confirmation that the Richmond high school football team still has plenty to look forward to. Ballenas Whalers grounded the Trojans 42-12 in the provincial AA quarter-final playoff at Hugh Boyd Park, a clear indication of the former’s superiority which Trojans’ associate coach Bruce Haddow acknowledged by saying: “You’ve just got tip your hat to them. We had a good year and we’re a good football team, but if we want to take that next step—which is up to (our players)—that’s where we have to go.” Haddow sees similarities between Ballenas and the Windsor Dukes when they won a couple of B.C. championships under the tutelage of Al Wilson. It was the sum of their parts, not individual talent, that made them so good.

Hugh Boyd head coach Bill Haddow zeroed in on Ballenas’ offensive line as being key in the Whalers’ victory. “It was phenomenal,” he said. “Having looked at video all week leading up to game, we knew that. But it was even better than we thought. You can have the best quarterback or fullback in the game and it’s still the offensive line that makes the offence go.” Ballenas converted two short kickoffs into an early 14-0 lead and were up 28-0 before Hugh Boyd got on the board. But to their credit, the Trojans—which suffered only their first loss of the season—never quit. It was their calling card all year and, aside from their record, what endeared them to fans. Now, following a Cinderella campaign that was likely only a week shy of not being played at all because of a teacher’s strike, the Trojans face perhaps an even bigger challenge. The core of the team are Grade 11 students, all eligible to return next

season. But while that augers well for future success, it’s still only promise and not a guarantee. “It gives us a good base but it doesn’t mean we’ll automatically be really good,” said Bill Haddow. “There are a lot of teams out there like that. It used to be that every season there would be a team that everyone knew would win, but the landscape has changed so dramatically in the last 10 years with the competitive balance greatly increased. If you looked at the eight teams in the quarter-finals you couldn’t say you wished you were playing one instead of another.” Bill Haddow said while the players clearly want to succeed, it’s important they put everything in perspective. “We all care about football a lot, but this is high school football,” he said. “At the end of the day only one team wins. The players need to step back and appreciate what they accomplished as part of a journey and focus on that.”

Have Dinner with Tyler Moxin player of the year BC’s Next Premier! Richmond NDP Annual Fall Fundraising Dinner

Trojans Grenzberg and Saklofski also B.C. get all-star nods

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

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Hugh Boyd Trojans’ on-field success this season has earned three players on the Richmond high school football team provincial honours. Grade 11 quarterback Tyler Moxin has been selected the offensive player of the year at the AA level, while Grade 12 Max Grenzberg— the Southern Conference player of the year—got the nod as an all-star on the defensive line and Grade 11 Gabe Saklofski earned all-star recognition as a running back. Hugh Boyd coach Bill Haddow said Moxin’s award in particular is “a real coup for our program.” “This award was established a couple of years ago along with an award recognizing the top defensive player,” explained Haddow, who describes Moxin’s competiveness as being off the charts. “He’s a real leader and also very athletic, and he loves football,” continued Haddow. “He’s a good student who wants to keep going forward in the game and has lots of the tools to do so.

8140 Leslie Rd Richmond, BC

Don Fennell photo Tyler Moxin is B.C. AA high school football’s top offensive player.

I wouldn’t necessarily project him as a quarterback at the next level, but he can play a lot of other positions. And he’s got to put on weight and more muscle.” At six-foot-two and 250 pounds, he already has the size needed to play at the next level and has already garnered interest from both Simon Fraser University and University of B.C. “Max is a really smart player who is going to have options at the next level for sure,” said Haddow. “He’s a good technical player,

who figures out how to do things properly. I remember vividly when he was in my Grade 8 humanities class and saying he wanted to play in the NFL. Every kid says that, but I sense he was a little more serious about it.” While a little undersized as a running back, Saklofski is a gifted athlete who lives in the weight room. “It’s tough for a Grade 11 to get on a provincial team, so this is a bit of surprise but well-deserved,” said Haddow. “But I’d still say he’s ideally suited as a safety or corner.”

The Christmas season packs a lot of cheer into a small window, but for those who host holiday gatherings, the stress level often also rises a notch or two.

Groff earns clean sheet Chaos cap first half of league play with a victory Victoria Groff stopped every shot directed her way Sunday, but deflected the credit for her shutout to teammates. Specifically four defenders— Sara Little, Jenn Forsberg, Alison Ikeda and Taylor Bakken, the latter playing out of position. For the most part, the defensive four kept Van City FC’s shooters wide and away from the goal as the Richmond Girls’ Soccer Association Chaos scored a 2-0 victory in Vancouver to improve to 9-1-1 in the Metro Women’s Soccer League Third Division. The game had barely start-

ed when Chaos got on the scoresheet with a goal by outside midfielder Jayde Jessome. It was at the 11- minute mark that the speedy Jessome found the net after being fed the ball by striker Allison Smith. Both teams were battered by the morning rain but continued to play on, each earning several opportunities to score on the slick grass field as players fought for traction. The second half kicked off with the sun breaking through, but the teams engaged in some close checking for first 20 minutes as Van City tried to push for the equalizer. But it was the Chaos who would find the back of the net again, as Smith was set free on the Van City keeper by a great lead pass from centremidfielder Kia Guindon. As the keeper came off her line, Smith

chipped the ball coolly over her outstretched arms and the ball caught the top of the net. The goal seemed to furhter energize the Chaos and leave the Van City team with a tough uphill battle. Chaos coach Al Groff called the win a strong team effort. He said Guindon and Brianna Ho did a great job controlling the middle of the pitch, joined on the outside by Tegan Rodriguez, Jessome and Kirstin Sullivan. Strikers Julia Badock, Alana Sandhu and Jasmine Mann rotated with Smith up front for the Chaos. It marked the final league match until the new year, with play scheduled to resume Jan. 18. Meanwhile, Chaos will host the West Coast Women’s FC Synergy in inter-divisional cup play Sunday at 5 p.m. at Hugh Boyd Park.

collected locally, he said. Council has a progressive approach to the issue of a single regional business licence, with mayor and councillors unanimously backing the idea. Many service providers operate in several cities, and previously had to purchase a business licence in each, a time-consuming and cost-prohibitive annual challenge. A new mobile business licence holds the promise of removing that red tape. There are three different mobile licence pilot programs currently in place in Richmond/Vancouver/ Burnaby/Surrey/New West area, as well as one in the Fraser Valley and another in the Tri-Cities. That new licence is “well received by business and communities that are participating too,” Jones said. The majority of the new council for the next four years indicates they are committed to supporting the “viability of the Fraser River as an integral part of our regional economic prosperity by supporting its continued development as part of our port infrastructure.” Said Jones of the recognition that the Fraser River is of vital importance to the economy of Canada: “We think that’s very, very important.” Jones said it’s important that council recognize the importance of protecting the city’s industrial land base, while also ensuring the proper protection of agricultural lands, and the new council was unanimous in its support of that position judging from the survey. While Coun. Ken Johnston and Coun. Chak Au didn’t answer on whether “Richmond should do its share to support the resource economy” the majority of council, including Mayor Malcolm Brodie, answered yes to that question. Only new councillor-elect Carol Day answered no.

How you can help families in need this year

olunteer Richmond’s Richmond Christmas Fund program mobilizes the community’s spirit of giving, through monetary donations and donations of new toys and other gifts for needy families. Each year, the Fund distributes grocery vouchers to low-income Richmond residents so that every family has the opportunity to sit down to a joyful holiday celebration. More than 800 children 15 years and younger receive numerous gifts ensuring that no child returns to school in January without a wonderful story to tell. Businesses and individuals are encouraged to give generously, ensuring the holiday season is a merry one for all of our neighbours. There are myriad ways to get involved this season and show your support for this outstanding community initiative. Yesterday, the Richmond Auto Mall Association hosted

BusinessReport

their annual Windows of Hope event, during which volunteer groups paint festive scenes on dealership windows, in exchange for donations to the Richmond Christmas Fund. Visit the Auto Mall throughout December to see some of these volunteers’ amazing artistry. Tomorrow, Volunteer Richmond will host their 4th Annual Christmas Fund Drive-Thru, taking donations to the fund in the form of cash or gifts at Lansdowne Centre (in the parking lot next to the Canada line) and giving generous donors a McDonalds coffee and mufÀn in exchange. Santa Clause will be in attendance and they hope

you will be too! Can’t make it to the Drive-Thru event but have toys to donate before December 15th? Donation drop off bins are located in businesses around Richmond, including the Richmond Chamber of Commerce ofÀce at #202, North Tower, 5811 Cooney Road. Bins can also be found at Signarama Richmond, Wealthsmart Financial Group, Nurse Next Door, and Riverside Mortgage Group. Finally, another timehonoured tradition of supporting the Christmas Fund is to attend or support the Chamber’s Annual Christmas Luncheon on December 11th at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel. Santa Clause, Tap Snap Photo Booth and the “Show Stoppers” promise to make this a must-attend event. We are still seeking rafÁe prizes to support the Christmas fund. Call the chamber ofÀce at 604-278-2822 to make a donation or inquire about tickets.

NOVEMBER 26, 2014

Sockeyes boast strength down the middle Led by league’s leading scorer Troy Kaczynski, centres are vital to Richmond’s ongoing success by Don Fennell Sports Editor One of the truest measures of a player’s value isn’t found on the scoresheet. Instead, it’s the intangibles he displays that earn him the respect of teammates and opponents alike. And the coach’s confidence. Tyler Andrews is one such player. Only 17, the first-year Richmond Sockeye has been a model of consistency for the Pacific Junior Hockey League team this season. With 22 points in 24 games, he’s not only contributing to the offence on a regular basis but his defensive play has been equally efficient. His play has been impressive enough, in fact, that coach Judd Lambert already expects him to step up to the B.C. Hockey League next season. “He’s been one of our best players and very important to the

strength of our centre position,” Lambert says of Andrews, who was selected the first star with a goal and an assist in Richmond’s 3-2 win over Delta Ice Hawks Thursday at Minoru Arenas. Under Lambert’s game strategy, the centre ice position is a demanding one. But thanks to the presence of veterans Troy Kaczynski and Mac Collasimone—both enjoying stellar seasons of their own—Andrews has been able to succeed without additional expectations. “He plays incredibly hard every game and has done everything we’ve expected of him,” Lambert says. In the Sockeyes’ system, the centremen play a pivotal role. And not just figuratively speaking. They’re expected to become third defencemen in their own zone, helping to check opposing forwards

and regain puck possession, and then to become key figures as the team transitions to offence. While the Sockeyes aren’t overwhelming anyone with their play of late, they are finding a way to get the job done as borne out in their hard-earned win over Delta followed by Saturday’s 3-1 victory at the Port Moody Panthers—a team Lambert insists is better than their 5-17-0-1 record indicates. Richmond (second in the tom Shaw Conference at 18-4-0-2) is back in action Thursday at George Preston Recreation Centre against the Langley Knights. The Knights sit atop the Harold Brittain Conference standings at 12-8-1-1. The Sockeyes then face Tom Shaw Conference-leading North Vancouver Wolf Pack on Saturday at Herry Jerome Rec Centre. North Vancouver sports a league-best 20-1-0-2 record.

Olympian inspires Kajaks at club’s annual awards banquet As the Richmond Kajaks celebrated their 2014 successes at the track and field club’s annual awards banquet last week, the words of one of its graduates rang out. “Do not be afraid to dream big and to chase your dreams,” said Lynn Kanuka, who won bronze at the 1984 Olympic Games in the 3,000 metres. “I feel that I can close my eyes and be 12 years old again racing my brother to school,” says the evening’s keynote speaker. Highlights of the evening included the presentation of both the prestigious D.B. Clement Trophy for out-

standing female athlete as well as the outstanding junior female athlete to Asiana Covington. She set the new provincial and Canadian junior women’s hammer throw record this year of 58.90 metres. The record had been held for 15 years by former Kajaks athlete Jennifer Joyce. Many of the younger members of the Kajaks achieved performances this year ranking them in the all-time top 10 performances in the province for their age groups. Of note, Carson Bradley set a new provincial standard in the 300-metre sprint during the summer with a time of 39.91 sec-
