DEPENDABLE CLEANING from the Professionals you can Trust!

Richmond RCMP’s drug section and the federal RCMP clandestine drug lab team were dismantling on Monday what’s described as a medium-sized ecstasy lab discovered a day earlier on Triangle Road.

Police were responding to a call that two people had broken into the property just after noon on Sunday and were seen loading items into an awaiting vehicle.

The suspects fled on foot after their red 2014 Hyundai Tucson became stuck at the edge of the driveway, its front driver’s side wheel suspended above the ditch.

Investigators dressed in hazardous material suits spent Monday dismantling the operation and removing the barrels of chemicals and var-

ious equipment, including drug lab glassware, from the scene.

Richmond RCMP Acting Cpl. Dennis Hwang said a “considerable amount of solvents and corrosive liquids commonly used in the production of synthetic drugs were also located.”

The older house, which appears to have been built in the 1950s or 1960, was unoccupied at the time. The house has a number of large buildings attached to it, and several vehicles are parked in a field on the five acre property at 14291 Triangle Rd. The house sits directly behind Richmond Ice Centre and across from the Extreme Air trampoline park at the Riverport Entertainment Complex off No. 6 Road, and next to SilverCity Theatres.

“Synthetic drug labs pose a significant threat to public safety and to the environment,” Sgt. Darin Sheppard of the RCMP Organized Crime Synthetic Drug Operations, said. “Their impact can affect generations to come. Please assist your local police by reporting any suspicious activity.”

Anyone with information about the drug lab is asked to call 604-278-1212.

Steveston cell towers only temporary, says city Demolition of Lions Manor forced cell companies to find new antenna locations

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Brian Phillips spotted the bird recently outside his South Richmond apartment.

This was no ordinary heron or snow goose, but a hummingbird, illuminated from behind by the sun and bathed in warm fall foliage.

With his Canon at the ready, he snapped a photograph—one of many taken by Richmond Photo Club members who capture

countless scenes of Richmond and beyond while improving their craft.

“It’s a sharing experience. I learn from every meeting from other people’s work, from their photographs. It’s a constant learning process,” said Phillips, a member of the group since 1990.

At club meetings, members offer evaluations, learn from guest speakers and hone skills through workshops. The 50-plus members also participate in field trips and exhibitions.

Member Alice Jensen-Stanley started snapping photos at age eight. She’s since filled dozens of photo albums, but gave new focus to her hobby after joining the club.

“We have many different levels of photographers within the club, yet everyone loves to learn from guest speakers and master judges who critique our images on compe-

tition nights.”

Jensen-Stanley fills frames with a range of subjects, but has a particular interest in botanicals and digital manipulation.

“It’s just a whole new ballgame. You can get so creative. For a person who can’t draw— I’m always the last to be picked for Pictionary—you can get behind the computer and it’s wonderful what you can concoct.”

The group meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, from September to June, at 7 p.m. in the painting studio of the Richmond Cultural Centre (7700 Minoru Gate). New members are welcome, and guests are welcome to participate in two complimentary evenings.

The club will also host its annual print exhibit at Lansdowne Centre mall Feb. 10 to 15. For more information visit www. richmondphotoclub.com.

Dispute cancels classes at Richmond Arts Centre Some instructors object to new rules requiring them to shoulder cost of insurance

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A dispute between instructors and the city has postponed some Richmond Arts Centre classes in-

definitely.

Classes in various arts disciplines were originally scheduled to begin the week of Jan. 5, but a disagreement over new contract language forcing instructors to shoulder the cost of insurance prompted the city to delay the start of some programs.

“It’s David and Goliath,” said a source close to the instructors.

“There’s no resources for (the teachers)—all they have is what they can find on the Internet.

Overall it’s extremely frustrating.”

City spokesperson Ted

Townsend said the city has a longstanding process of using independent contractors to teach courses at the arts centre, and said the city has no plans to change that relationship.

“It was identified there was a gap in insurance coverage,” he said. “It had been believed that these contractors were covered under city insurance, but that is not the case.”

The city determined the instructors would have to provide their own insurance, as is the case with other contractors for city hall. But

some instructors have objected to the change, and insist they be treated as employees.

“At this point there have been some classes postponed—nothing cancelled yet. It’s a work in progress,” said Townsend.

Instructors were notified in September the change was coming, said Townsend, adding the cost of the insurance is “not significant”—between $50 to $180.

He added the city is providing a premium to instructors, on top of their regular rate, to offset the new expense.

A new cellphone tower built just behind a townhouse complex in South Richmond without warning has raised the ire of an area resident.

Ken Chung, a resident of Southpointe Cove on No. 2 Road near Moncton Street said workers erected the tower less than 40 metres away just before Christmas. In an e-mail to city council, he called it a “huge eyesore.”

“We heard nothing from the city or the company who put up tower,” he wrote. “Why so close to the houses and daycare when another tower so close?”

According to the City of Richmond, Cascadia Tower Ltd. installed the 14.9-metre cell tower for Telus as a temporary measure due to the demolition of Lions Manor in Steveston—which had Telus and Rogers towers on its roof. The care home’s owner, Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, allowed Rogers to keep a tower on site, but Telus had to look elsewhere. It found temporary sites on No. 2 Road and on the Steveston Buddhist Temple property on Garry Street.

But a rollout of new technology from Telus is eliminating the need for new towers in the area, and the temporary structures will likely be removed next month. Telus has until March 1, according to city spokesperson Ted Townsend.

The city didn’t require public consultation because the tower is under 15 metres and on appropriately-zoned land. Townsend noted Telus voluntarily alerted 22 singlefamily homes to the south of the tower— but not to the townhouses to the east.

Last September city council approved another cellphone tower in East Richmond.

The 30-metre telecommunication antenna tower was built on industrial land at 7411 Nelson Rd., near three other towers of competing providers.

Workplace culture talk tomorrow at library A free workshop on Canadian Workplace Culture takes place Thursday, Jan. 15 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Richmond Public Library (7700 Minoru Gate).

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Tuesday, January 27 at 7:00pm

by Jeff Nagel Black Press Canada Line workers have voted 99 per cent in favour of strike action to back their demands for a new contract.

But no immediate walkout is anticipated as a round of mediation is scheduled to begin Jan. 19 between negotiators for the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union and employer Protrans BC, which is owned by SNC-Lavalin.

“The strength of the strike vote reflects the commitment of our members to negotiate a fair and reasonable collective agreement,” BCGEU treasurer Paul Finch said.

“If mediation fails we are prepared to increase pressure to negotiate an agreement.”

You are invited to Thompson Community Association’s AGM! Drop into this informative evening that includes: • a review of all program area highlights • a video presentation of the Centre’s 2014 successes • nominations for Board of Directors • refreshments No immediate walkout is anticipated as Canada Line workers have voted in favour of strike action

The 150 unionized Canada Line workers include station and platform attendants, vehicle and electronic system technicians and control room operators.

Station attendants started at $23 an hour as of 2012, according to their just-expired collective agreement, while most technician or operator positions

are paid $35 to $42 an hour.

The strike vote raises the potential of a rapid transit system labour disruption as Metro Vancouverites prepare to vote in an upcoming transit tax referendum.

Unionized bus drivers last fall agreed to a one-year contract extension to avoid a labour dispute during the referendum.

Committee reports will be available for pick up at the front desk beginning January 12, 2015

Wat signs new trade deal with China

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond Centre MLA Teresa Wat has signed another trade deal with China, as the province continues advancing economic ties across the Pacific Ocean.

The government announced a new agreement last Friday between B.C. and Shanghai, China, calling it a 2015 joint action plan that builds on Wat’s 2013 trade mission to China.

The deal, signed by Wat, B.C.’s Minister of International Trade, and Li Yaoxin, chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization, focuses on “facilitating com-

mercial partnerships between B.C. and Shanghai businesses in the technology sector,” according to a news release.

“This agreement paves the way for increased trade and investment ties in key sectors in China. My role, and the role of my ministry, is to grow B.C.’s economy using international opportunities,” said Wat. The action plan will also promote Shanghai business participation in the 2015 Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Conference in Vancouver in April, and formalizes dialogue between the B.C. Trade and Investment Office in Shanghai and the Shanghai commission.

Garbage exports from the Lower Mainland to the U.S. hit an all-time high in December, according to estimates from Metro Vancouver.

They show loads of garbage heading south for landfills in Washington State climbed 60 per cent over the last year to more than 19,000 tonnes per month.

Metro Vancouver last year tried to ban haulers from trucking waste out of the region over fears the rising flow of outbound garbage will cost the region millions in lost tipping fees and thwart recycling goals, as those loads are not subject to waste dumping rules, such as Metro’s new ban on

lutions, which does not haul outside the region. “That’s got to make it less economic.”

Belkorp Environmental vice-president Russ Black suggested haulers who are still shipping to the U.S. are now “doing it out of stubbornness, not out of profitability.”

Metro solid waste general manager Paul Henderson agreed haulers’ profit margins are likely getting thinner, but said that hasn’t yet translated into any drop in how much garbage is shipped out, bypassing Metro transfer stations.

Black said Metro could cut its tipping fee to become more competitive and recapture some of the garbage business it’s been losing to the U.S. Belkorp wants approval to build material recovery facilities – plants that break open garbage bags and separate out the recyclables that would FEATURING:

disposal of food waste.

Environment Minister Mary Polak in October rejected the proposed ban but named MLA Marvin Hunt to review whether some form of regulation is required to control waste flows.

Hunt is expected to report back with recommendations in the coming weeks.

Critics have accused Metro of simply trying to keep waste in-region to feed a planned new incinerator and hope a final provincial decision will be the nail in the coffin of its wasteto-energy agenda.

Some industry players also believe Metro has exaggerated the threat of garbage exports, which they predict will be less viable now that the dollar’s drop from par to 85 cents has made it more expensive to use U.S. landfills.

otherwise be landfilled or incinerated – and Black said he made his case for the technology in a recent meeting with Hunt.

The Surrey MLA was an outspoken supporter of waste-to-energy back when he was a Surrey councillor on the Metro board.

Black said Hunt still seems to support incineration but was open minded, particularly to private sector solutions.

Black maintains there are limits to how far people will go to separate out their recycables and food scraps, and also to the region’s ability to enforce its bans on dumping them.

He said Belkorp’s proposed NextUse plant in Coquitlam would offer a lass pass at extracting recyclables that would otherwise be garbage.

“We think that’s a better idea than burning the bag,” he said, referring to Metro plans to build a new waste-toenergy plant that may cost $500 million. “Our option is much more cost-effective because it’s private sector risk capital.”

Even if Metro reaches an ambitious target of 80 per cent recycling, he said at least half of the remaining garbage would still be recyclable or compostable.

Belkorp also operates the Cache Creek Landfill, which Metro intends to stop using, and regional politicians claim the company’s real agenda is to hang onto its garbage business by undermining waste-to-energy.

Outdoor treasure hunters can now participate in the trending game of geocaching in Richmond.

Richmond parks staff have hidden 30 geocache containers around the city—in parks, on trails and at community facilities. Participants of the Richmond Geo-Quest game use a smartphone or global positioning system device, and navigate using GPS coordinates to find the hidden caches.

Participants who find all the caches and record their secret words on a Geo-Quest passport are eligible to receive a limited edition trackable geocoin from the Richmond Nature Park.

Richmond’s program is the first official GeoTour of a Canadian city on geocaching.com, according to city hall.

The activity exists worldwide. Over 2.5 million geocaches exist in 180 countries, according to the geocaching.com website, which also boasts over 160,000 Canadian users.

Participants can sign up to a free account at geocaching.com, and download a passport at richmond.ca/geocaching.

EDITORIAL: Terrorism is on people’s minds

T

errorism is on the minds of many people these days, given last week’s events in France. Canada is not immune from the challenges posed by terrorists, with ISIS specifically naming Canada as a target last week.

Many Canadians felt immune from terrorism until the attacks on Canadian Forces members in Ottawa and Quebec last fall. While the people involved in both of those cases apparently acted on their own, and at least one was suffering from mental illness, the attacks shook many Canadians. An attack on a soldier standing guard at the National War Memorial, and the lone shooter then getting into the Parliament Buildings, was a brazen and chilling moment.

The federal government is ready and willing to boost surveillance of potential “radicalized” individuals, and its moves in this area will be supported by a large majority of citizens. They want to get back to the “peace and order” that

usually characterizes Canada.

Unfortunately, there is no way to guarantee that. The world is a much smaller place, with air travel to almost any place easily available, and social media used extensively to shape and change peoples’ attitudes.

Some people suggest that all terrorists are Muslims and feel that the root of the problem is that particular religion. This is a very narrowminded and wrong-headed approach to take.

The fact is that there are people of many different ethnic and religious backgrounds who feel they need to take their grievances and explode them on the world stage. Any way that they can be identified early and stopped is useful.

The organization, which holds parts of Iraq and Syria and continues to engage in brutal attacks on innocent people, is under attack by Canada and many other allied nations. It has been threatening Canada for months, with at least one Canadian, John Maguire, appearing in ISIS videos and calling for attacks on his countrymen.

M

y Christmas reading included a fascinating new book called <I>Kennewick Man</ I>, a study of skeletal remains discovered in 1996 on the bank of the Columbia River in eastern Washington.

He was an ancient hunter buried just south of B.C. almost 9,000 years ago, in the Early Holocene period following the last Ice Age. Among the oldest humans found along the West Coast of North America, he sparked an unprecedented battle by the Smithsonian Institution to examine the skeleton and publish the book late last year.

The most controversial evidence came from the skull. It doesn’t match the classic Mongoloid profile of modern aboriginal people, key to the theory that the earliest humans reached North America by land bridge from Siberia to Alaska as glaciers receded.

Smithsonian scientists confirmed initial reports that Kennewick Man is a closer match with early Polynesians, and the Ainu people who remain in Japan today. He lived until about age 40, surviving for years with a stone spear point stuck in his hip.

The authors conclude from chemical analysis that

Smithsonian Institution Skull and reconstruction of Kennewick Man, who was buried by humans nearly 9,000 years ago next to the Columbia River.

Researchers conclude he was a seal hunter who may have migrated from as far away as B.C., Alaska or even Asia.

“Kennewick Man could not have been a longtime resident of the area where he was found, but instead lived most of his adult life somewhere along the Northwest and North Pacific coast where marine mammals were readily available.”

This suggests migration by sea, perhaps from a great distance.

The U.S. Army seized the skeleton. The scientists sued and eventually won the right to a brief examination. The court case exposed brutal and illegal actions of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and federal departments to destroy the site and intimidate the scientists.

U.S. law demanded all remains from before European settlement be repatriated for burial by local tribes,

without examination.

Umatilla tribe spokesman Armand Minthorn wrote in 1996: “We view this practice as desecration of the body and a violation of our most deeply-held religious beliefs.

“From our oral histories, we know that our people have been part of this land since the beginning of time.

We do not believe that our people migrated here from another continent, as the scientists do.”

The head of the Society for American Archaeology tried to get the researchers to drop their lawsuit, fearing it would interfere with fragile relationships with area tribes.

The U.S. Justice Department warned the Smithsonian that lead scientist Douglas Owsley and others might be in crimi-

nal conflict of interest as federal employees suing the government. Even the White House weighed in against them.

Meanwhile the skeleton was mishandled and later stored in substandard conditions at a Seattle museum, where it remains today. Parts of both femurs were lost, and scientists were falsely accused of taking them. They had been removed by tribal representatives and secretly buried.

Kennewick Man was found as the army was in tense negotiations with tribes on salmon fishing rights on the Columbia, their demand for removal of dams, and the $100 billion cleanup of the Hanford nuclear site.

The scientists finally won their case in 2004, with a ruling that the skeleton is

so old there isn’t enough evidence to show it is related to the current tribes.

The judge found the army repeatedly misled the court, and assessed the government $2.4 million in costs.

The U.S. Army still controls the skeleton and denies requests for further study. The spear point, for example, could show the location where he was injured.

One final irony. Analysis shows Kennewick Man ate mostly salmon in his later years, around 6300 BCE. These are the salmon runs wiped out by dams built by U.S. Army engineers before the signing of the Columbia River Treaty with B.C.

others as little as possible.

A handicap spot is for a disabled person who has a handicap decal clearly displayed from the vehicle, although I will not argue about the legal technicalities of this. In his letter, Mr. Thomas D. Behm asks why would a handicapped person need a handicap spot if they were not getting out of the vehicle? My answer is this: because the handicapped person may have intended or tried to get out of the vehicle, but the physical pain of leaving the car may have become too much to endure. So rather be in utter pain and become an extra burden to the ablebodied chaperone, the handicapped person has chosen to swallow his/ her dignity and (sadly) sit in the vehicle. And the driver, who is most likely a loved one, does not want to further crush this person's dignity by finding another parking spot at this moment.

Editor: My heart goes out to Ms. C. Chow (“Driver had a very good reason to be parking in a handicap spot,” Letters, Dec. 26). I feel sorry that she was yelled by a lady who assumed she was abusing the system for having her daughter park in a handicap spot with the handicap decal displayed, though Ms. Chow herself stayed in the car because her legs were too swollen to walk comfortably. I am also sorry to read four letters (“Driver had it wrong,” Letters, Dec. 31) that also accuse her of being wrong and similarly conclude she is abusing the system.

My own mother-in-law had terminal cancer before she passed away and I know all too clearly the difficulties of bringing her around in Richmond. Parking in Richmond can be very competitive and sometimes we couldn't find a handicap spot. This was very troublesome as she needed two to three people to help her out of the car and into her wheelchair.

Due to her very poor condition, sometimes we were not in a position to follow every single parking law perfectly. This was because during her last few months, she was in utter pain every time she tried to walk a few steps. So we tried to make it as comfortable as possible for her to leave the car while inconveniencing

The Year of Marsala popular shades to the more organic and earthy Marsala have opinions more mixed than usual. Critics argue Marsala resembles rust or is too similar to oxblood, another reddish-brown shade that already took the fashion world by storm two fall

L

ast year was all about the bright and cheerful radiant orchid. But with the new year, it’s time to shift to the colour of 2015 — Marsala. Described as a “naturally robust and earthy red wine” by the colour institute Pantone, Marsala is a bit of a divisive pick. Previous colours have been Tangerine Tango in 2012 and Emerald in 2013, so going from vibrant,

seasons ago.

The Colour of the Year is chosen by Pantone after observing trends in fashion, art and interior design.

A global leader in manufacturing colours, Pantone sets the standards for the design industry. Named after a Sicilian fortified dessert wine, Marsala represents confidence and stability. The colour is sultry yet sophisticated, working as a standalone shade or an accent colour — instantly adding warmth to interiors.

The great thing about Marsala is that it can function as a neutral so it’s a good colour option for accessories such as handbags, shoes and jewelry.

Marsala made an impact in a few collections this year. Derek Lam embraced the Colour of the Year in his spring 2015 collection with reddishbrown tops and pants.

He complemented

the colour with light shades of purple and teal. Gucci used Marsala-hued fur details to add some elegant glamour to the coats, vests and skirts in their collection. Over at Calvin Klein, lasercut leather dresses and coats in Marsala were the highlights of their

a bordeaux leather or suede for something similar to Marsala. Patterned clothing with Marsala details is also an easy way to add the “it” colour to your outfits this year.

Another great way to add the Colour of the Year to your routine is through make-

spring show. And in Kenzo’s pre-fall showcase, the designers used wine-inspired shades on their bags, pants, sweaters and coats.

With its more neutral tone, Marsala works well for both menswear and womenswear. Pair the colour with black for a more classic monochromatic look that’ll be perfect for fall. Or work the shade with blues, greens or purples for a bolder approach. Marsala is also compatible with pinks, teals and greys. So play around with the different colour combinations to see how Marsala can best suit your style. A subtler way to incorporate Marsala into your wardrobe is through accessories such as bags and shoes. Look for boots or purses in

up. With it’s seductive, dark rose quality a Marsala lip colour is a simple but bold way to include the shade into your beauty repertoire.

Each year, makeup brand and retailer Sephora collaborates with Pantone to create a collection inspired by the Colour of the Year.

Head to your nearest Sephora to grab Marsala eye shadow palettes, lipsticks, blushes, liquid liners and even mascara. Like with any dramatic flourishes, play up either your lips or your eyes with Marsala beauty products and keep the rest of the face minimal.

If Marsala isn’t your cup of tea, yellow and red will be hot colours for this year’s spring and summer season.

Flowy, sunny yellow dresses were spotted on the runways at

Chloe, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Carolina Herrera. As for red, crimson shades popped up at shows such as DSquared2, Preen and Dolce & Gabbana. Whatever colours you gravitate towards, make it a fashion resolution to experiment with dif-

ferent colour combinations this year.

sports Stingy defence earns Midgets gold A commitment to team defence propelled Richmond Minor Hockey’s Midget C2 Blues to top spot at their annual Bantam/Midget C tournament recently.

In eight games over three days, Richmond allowed just six goals and posted four shutouts.

An exhausted Blues’ team had the dig deep for the victory in the championship game, however, forcing overtime with only 4.4 seconds remaining in regulation and then

Sockeyes look to bounce back versus Kodiaks

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Hot on the heels of Monday’s Pacific Junior Hockey League all-star game at Burnaby Winter Club, best on best will meet up again Thursday at Minoru Arenas.

Sporting the best record in the Harold Brittain Conference standings at 16-112-5, Aldergrove Kodiaks will visit the Richmond Sockeyes—tied with North Vancouver Wolf Pack atop the Tom Shaw Conference—and sporting the best overall record in the league at 26-7-0-2.

Game time is 7 p.m.

The Sockeyes are coming off a 3-2 upset loss to Mission City Outlaws here last week. Prior to that setback, the Sockeyes

had reeled a 6-3 win over the Kodiaks last Wednesday in Aldergrove and a 2-0 loss to Abbotsford Pilots on Dec. 19.

The Sockeyes, as they frequently have this season. got off to a quick start with Tyler Paterson scoring just 50 seconds into the game. But Mission reeled off three goals in a row—outscoring the Sockeyes 2-0 in the second period—to take a 3-1 lead. Troy Kaczynski, the league’s leading scorer with 67 points in 33 games, cut the margin to 3-2 with his 37th goal of the season at 13:06 of the third period but the Outlaws were able to hang on.

Daniel Oakley scored twice and assisted on another and Matthew Bissett had a goal and two helpers to pace the Sockeyes’ victory in Aldergrove.

If you are new to the district, you must register first. All new Kindergarten registrations for the 2015-16 school year will take place at the English catchment schools from January 12th, 2015 to January 30th, 2015. From February 2nd, 2015, all new Kindergarten registrations for the 2015-16 school year will be taken at the Central Registration Office - 7811 Granville Avenue. All new grade 1-12 students should register at the Central Registration Office. Parents/legal guardians must personally register their children by presenting the following legal documentation: Student’s original Birth Certificate, Student’s and Parent’s original proof of status in Canada, latest proof of Richmond residency (one of the following legal documents: current property tax notice or assessment and current utility bill, signed formal rental or lease agreement and security deposit, signed contract of purchase and sale with possession date and subjects removed and deposit draft). Other documents needed are: last school report card or transcript of marks, immunization records, legal custody documents, reports for extra classroom support. If registered by June 12th, the student will be guaranteed a space in their English catchment school for the 2015-16 school year. If registered after that date, the student will be placed at a nearby school by the school district if space and resources are not available in the students’ catchment school. The deadline for new Early French Immersion, Late French Immersion and Montessori applications is January 30th, 2015. (District Programs Options Form)

What should I do if I want my child to transfer to a non-catchment school?

Students currently attending a Richmond public school do not need to re-register. The parent/legal guardian of a student who wishes to transfer to a non-catchment school should obtain a Transfer Application Form for Richmond Residents [RSB SA 23] from their catchment school or Central Registration, have it initialed by the catchment school or Central Registration and then submit it to the requested school no later than 4:00 p.m. on Friday, February 27th, 2015.

The parent/legal guardian of a student who is not attending a Richmond SD 38 school and wishes to transfer to a non-catchment school must first register at Central Registration and after doing so, may obtain a Transfer Application Form [RSB SA 23] and submit it to the requested school. Commencing Monday, January 19th, 2015 at 8:00 a.m., transfer applications for students wishing to attend a noncatchment school will be received at the requested school. If the application is received at the requested school by February 27th, 2015, and space is available, students will be approved to attend in accordance with the priorities listed in Regulation 501.8-R, paragraph 5.a. [1st: catchment 2nd: Richmond resident transfer students and 3rd: Non Richmond resident transfer students], on a “first come, first served” basis.

Richmond resident transfer students have priority over non-Richmond resident transfer students for transfer requests submitted by February 27th, 2015. Schools will mail letters to the parents/legal guardians of transfer applicants on March 13th, 2015, advising them of the status of their child’s application. If the transfer application is received after February 27th, 2015, then the request may be considered in accordance with the criteria set forth in district Regulation 501.8-R, paragraph 5.f. (4) [See Group 3 Student Priority Chart] NOTE: Parents/legal guardians should be aware that schools designated as “full” by the school district will not be able to approve first time transfer applicants due to a lack of available space and resources.

What if my child already attends a non-catchment school?

Richmond Residents: Richmond resident students who are currently attending a non-catchment school, and wish to continue at that school for the 2015-16 school year, are not required to submit a transfer request. Such students will automatically be enrolled at the school unless they withdraw or transfer out of the school. Please let the school know if you are leaving.

Out of District Residents: All students who reside outside of Richmond and are currently attending a Richmond school, and wish to continue at their school, must submit a Transfer Application Form for Non-Richmond Residents [Form RSB SA 73], which is available from the attending school, by February 27th, 2015.

Richmond City gearing up to ‘Play ball!’

Chuckers’ president John Braaten excited about continuing to develop baseball locally from the grassroots Each team having Canadians on their roster only aids in the popularity of the two organizations.”

But Braaten maintains the main reason for growth at the youth level is because of Baseball Canada, and regionally BC Baseball, focusing on grassroots programming. The Rally Cap program, and its follow-up, the Grand Slam program, offer younger players more structured programming in the early years, he says.

“We are now a couple of years into this structure and have seen significant growth in younger divisions, to the point where 45 per cent of our registrants are between the ages of five and nine. Word of mouth about smaller teams and more activity during sessions (also helps),” he says.

Richmond City Baseball will introduce the Grand Slam program this year for players ages eight and nine as continued player development. That meets Baseball Canada’s Long Term Athlete Development objective.

While many sports have become year-round activities, baseball has primarily remained a summer activity. Braaten says baseball continues to build itself as a summer outdoor sport that puts the emphasis on engaging the younger players more effectively— to the point they go to the park each

by Don Fennell Sports Editor John Braaten wears his hat proudly—both as president of the Richmond City Baseball Association and second vice-president of BC Baseball.

In the dual roles, the enthusiastic and dedicated baseball official is afforded even more insight into baseball in Canada and more specifically in B.C. And what’s trending is encouraging.

Richmond City Baseball has seen an increase in registration numbers over the past couple of years. And while Braaten attributes, at least partly the growth to the excitement of roster changes in the Toronto Blue Jays and in the Seattle Mariners—the two Major League Baseball teams most closely followed by local baseball fans—he believes the success of Canadians at the professional level is helping to generate interest.

“The excitement with the recent Toronto Blue Jays’ roster changes has aided in baseball growth and interest.

Unfortunately each year the promise has not lived up to the hype,” he says.

“Also aiding is the excitement in Seattle with two major roster signings each of the last two years, and this year Nelson Cruz is making the club a hot stove topic within the baseball community.

week and not stand alone in the field for two hours as in the past.

At the provincial level, BC Baseball is offering more individual high-performance opportunities for players at the under-13, under-15, under-16 and under-18 levels for the chance to travel in-season and represent the province on summer all-star teams.

Richmond City Baseball is also in-

troducing Challenger Baseball this season that provides an opportunity for children for ages five to 18 with cognitive or physical disabilities to enjoy the full benefits of participation in baseball at a level structured to their abilities. Baseball games are played in a fun, safe environment where no score is kept. Able-bodied “buddies” are assigned (one-on-one, where pos-

sible) to each participant. These buddies assist the Challenger Baseball players with their involvement in the game—pushing wheelchairs around the base path, assisting players in how to hold the bat and swing, or providing protection for the Challenger Baseball player from a batted ball, are just a few of the ways the buddies offer a better experience for the participants in Challenger Baseball.

“Each participant is treated like every other player in the conventional baseball program. All players are outfitted in uniforms, use the same equipment, and play their games at the local baseball parks,” says Braaten.

“And a team picture is a must for Challenger Baseball, as it is in the other divisions. Last but not least, the smiles are plentiful and free. The joy on the face of each participant in Challenger Baseball makes it very clear how much fun they are having. No pressures, no playing time issues, everyone just has fun! It’s what baseball is supposed to be all about.”

Richmond City Baseball recently opened it’s new Blundell training facility which allows for year-round training of all ages. Its covered roof and interior lighting allow for players to have an opportunity to improve their skill set without being affected by weather.

sports Karen Magnussen Tribute show March 14 at Minoru On March 14, Connaught Skating Club will present a special fundraiser in support of Karen Magnussen.

Karen Magnussen Tribute: A Benefit Show, showcasing 100 competitive skaters, will begin at 6 p.m. at Minoru Arenas. Tickets will be available at the door on the night of the show, but in limited quantity only.

Tickets can be purchased in advance through club members at a cost of $20 each or two for $35.

Keegan Murphy, director of skating at Connaught and producer of the tribute, said Magnussenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lungs were burnt from inhaling gas after escaping a North Shore rink following an ammonia leak in November 2011. She is now suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and other serious, degenerative health issues and no longer allowed in an ice rink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a competitive skating organization whose members have received much valued support from her annual bursary, Connaught has decided to honour her skating career and dedication to figure skating by naming her as our beneficiary for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ice show in hopes of raising some funds to help Karen and her family through a difficult period of their lives,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Eileen Murphy and Aundrea Feltham will co-produce the tribute to Magnussen, who was silver medallist at the 1972 Winter Olympics and the 1973 world ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; champion. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;by Don Fennell

hen Mitchell Gordon strides onto the ice at the Rogers K-Rock Centre during next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2015 Canadian Tire National Skating Championships in Kingston, Ont., heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be reminding himself of the virtues of patience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I recognize I really have to be patient now,â&#x20AC;? says the gifted 18-year-old Gordon, who seemingly breezed to the top of the junior ranks in 2012 to become the Canadian national junior champion, and then placed an impressive 16th at the 2013 World Junior Championships in Milan, Italy.

An eight-time provincial champion, including the senior winner from 2013 through 2015, the Connaught skater placed second only to Canadian championâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and former Connaught skaterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Nam Nguyen (now residing in Ontario) at last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s qualifier in Pierrefonds, Que. to qualify for the nationals along with four of his teammates. However, his goals at the Jan. 16 to 24 event are more conservativeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to finish in the top eight and earn 200 points, a total that would be close to a personal best.

Gordon is looking at his current training, with longtime coaches Keegan and Eileen Murphy, as a path to qualifying for the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang, South Korea which he notes is still three-and half years away.

For two of Gordonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Connaught teammates, who will also be skating at nationals, even more important than placement is the opportunity to perform in front of an appreciative audience. Like actors on a stage, Garrett Gosselin and Shawn Cuevas love to entertain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still a kid at heart, and was always the class clown,â&#x20AC;? says 18-year-old Cuevas, who laced up his first pair of skates at the age of eight.

But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take that to mean heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not competitive, as Cuevas hopes to build on his second-place finish at the recent sectionals that earned him a place at nationals.

Garrett Gosselin, 22, is returning to a national championships that he placed 12th in a year ago. The Regina, Sask. native moved to the West Coast last year for school and to train with coach Keegan Murphy at the Connaught Skating Club in Richmond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known Keegan for a while and this opportunity offered me a change in training,â&#x20AC;? says Gosselin, who is taking contemporary dance and international studies at Simon Fraser University.

McHugh, Carroll inspired by Rochette, Gold respectively Jessica McHugh, 14, also loves the joy of performing and says the jumps are an enjoyable and rewarding element of skating.

Hoping to place in the top 10 at nationals, McHugh began skating when she was six years old and has an affinity for such challenging sportsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as evident by her additional passion for downhill skiing.

McHugh also appreciates the artistic side of skating, and the dedication required to become one of the best. Her favourite skater is Joannie Rochette, the 2010 Olympic bronze medallist from Montreal who captivated the nation with her decision to remain in the competition and skate in her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honour after her mother died of a heart attack two days earlier.

Elvie Carroll, also 14, has been skating for 11 years and lists American Gracie Goldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the 2012 world junior silver medallist, as her favourite skater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She uses her face to express herself so well. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sometjing I struggle with,â&#x20AC;? says Carroll, who when not on the ice enjoys hanging out with friends and reading. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to be a strong performer technically and artistically,â&#x20AC;? adds Carroll, who can spin and jump with the best. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But practice makes perfect and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to love it.â&#x20AC;?

Performance paramount for Cuevas, Gosselin

Unlike when he dominated the novice and junior ranks, he is surrounded by many more elite skaters at the senior level.

He figures any of five, at least, could challenge for top spot. He says at this point the physical aspect of skating is actually more instinctive, and now the mental part of skating becomes a greater challenge.

JAKE (JOHN) KENT BROWNE, MD FRCSC March 8, 1933 — December 31, 2014

O

ur beloved Jake passed away in Richmond General Hospital on December 31 with his wife Mary and daughter Carolyn by his side.

Jake was born in 1933 in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, the second of 4 children to Eleanor (Bates) and John Kent Browne. He grew up in nearby Gorticaw. Jake studied medicine at Trinity College Dublin and then obtained his FRCS specializing in orthopedics. He immigrated to Canada in 1965 and worked in Newfoundland, Saskatoon, Vancouver and Richmond BC, gaining his Canadian orthopedic qualifications along the way. Eventually he was drawn north, first to Kamloops and in 1975 to the wider skies of the Peace Country, settling in Farmington. For many years he was the sole orthopedic practitioner in the area.

Besides his dedication as a physician, Jake’s life was marked by his love for his family & friends and a genuine fondness & acceptance of people from all walks of life. He was an excellent listener & conversationalist & had a quiet wry sense of humour.

He was drawn to people and they to him.

Jake and Mary moved to Richmond in 2012 in order to better cope with Jake’s diminishing health. Jake will be lovingly remembered and missed by his wife Mary Spoke, daughter Carolyn Derfler (Brian, Kevin, Emily); siblings Adele Browne, Geoff (Florence) Browne, Anne (Patrick) Moody; by Mary’s extended family; nephews and nieces in UK & Canada/US; his first wife Jean Potter (Carolyn’s mother), and by further family and many dear friends. Jake was predeceased by his parents and by Karmen Jones, his 2nd wife.

A heartfelt thank you to Jake’s former caregivers Peng & Sunil and latterly Randy for being a valued part of Jake’s life.

Two Gatherings of Remembrance will be held (1) UBC Boathouse, January 17 at 12 noon and (2) Farmington Hall, January 31 at 11am.

Hennessey Hairdo event at Hennessey Salon

Graham Kita entertained Elizabeth Marshall and her mom Lindsay while they waited their turn for a haircut.

Reniaa Thompson had her first haircut at the Hennessey Hairdo event. She told her mom she wanted to give her hair to a little girl who didn’t have any.

Coming in from Abbotsford just for the Hennessey Hairdo, Nicole Thorne had grown out her hair for over a year specifically to donate it.

Ponytails pile up for Wigs for Kids

Around Town Katie Lawrence

I

n 2006, a Grade 12 cancer survivor came into Hennessey Hair Salon wondering if her hair would grow in time for her senior dance.

Reuben Harden didn’t have enough hair to donate for a wig, but bought a haircut for the cause.

The answer was no, but to help her out, Bev Friesen, Hennessey’s Maria Karimani, and friends banded together to raise enough money to buy her a proper wig for the occasion.

Little did Friesen know, that would grow into a program that would help

kids all over the province, Wigs for Kids BC. Hennessey Hair Salon in Richmond Centre held its fourth annual Hennessey Hairdo event in support of Wigs for Kids, and it was an overwhelming success.

“It’s helped us like you wouldn’t believe, to raise money and awareness and ponytails!” said Friesen. “The more people know about Wigs for Kids BC, the better it becomes. It just seems people are so supportive once they know about us.”

Over its eight years, Wigs for Kids BC, with the support of BC Children’s Hospital, has made around 50 wigs a year for children with cancer, alopecia, and blood diseases that cause hair loss.

All the money raised at Wigs for Kids events goes straight into the program, as the foundation

is completely volunteerrun.

The event brought people from all over the Lower Mainland, the Fraser Valley, and even Salt Spring Island, who wanted to help raise money for the cause.

Nicole Thorne had Russell Minuielle and his family came to Richmond been growing her hair from Salt Spring Island to cut his hair for Wigs for Kids. out for over a year and drove in to Richmond from Abbotsford to donate.

“I just really wanted to donate my hair. It was something I decided to do, and when I heard about this, it was a perfect opportunity,” said Thorne. “I wanted someone to enjoy it, especially kids that are sick.

“I’ll definitely donate again, hopefully in about a year or so.”

Katie Lawrence covers the social scene for The Richmond Review.

Mom to Reniaa Thompson, Tanya Favell and her daughter had matching haircuts by the time they left Hennessey Salon.
