Baby, you can drive my Smart taxi BY ALAN CAMPBELL
acampbell@richmond-news.com
CHUNG CHOW/RICHMOND NEWS
Need a ride? Reporter Michelle Hopkins leaves the Richmond News parking lot to test drive the Smart Fortwo ‘taxi’. If you see it around the city this weekend, call it over and it’ll take you anywhere in Metro Vancouver — for free.
If you see a little yellow Smart car dressed up like a taxi in Richmond this weekend, hail it over and you’ll get a free ride. Mercedes, which makes the car, has promised to take you anywhere you want to go in Metro Vancouver, as long as you sign a waiver and show your driving licence. The aim is to dispel people’s perceptions about the Smart Fortwo cars being unsafe and uncomfortable to drive due to their size. To put the mini-taxi to the test, the News used its own Michelle Hopkins as the Guinea pig. “I didn’t anticipate how it drives and how sturdy it feels,” said Hopkins, who drives a BMW, after scooting around the city centre. “I was also surprised by how easy it shifts from automatic to standard without a clutch pedal.” Jill Grant, Mercedes Canada marketing specialist, said the promotion kicked off on Monday in Richmond, Vancouver and Burnaby and will last until Monday, Oct. 4. “We’re not going to take people on 100 kilometre trips, but we’ll take them wherever they want to go, within reason,” Grant added.

Child sex offender not welcome at Rosewood Towers Kevin Fanning, 50, convicted of sexual exploitation is free on bail pending next week’s sentencing
A child sex offender awaiting sentence has moved back into his old apartment — just a few metres from families and half a block from an elementary school. Kevin Fanning, 50, pleaded guilty earlier this year to sexual exploitation offences involving two teenage boys in Richmond. He was released on bail, with a series of strict conditions, and is set to be sentenced next week. $

When the charges came to light at the end of last year, Fanning moved out of his BC Housingrented apartment at Rosewood Towers to live with family in Surrey. But residents and neighbours of the building on 6220 Blundell Rd. were shocked to discover this week that Fanning — a former foster home night relief worker — had moved back into to his old apartment, in the same grounds as Rosewood Village, which is teaming with young families.
Concerns were also expressed about Fanning being allowed to live so close to Blundell elementary and a park that’s frequented daily by young kids. “(Rosewood Towers) is an adult only building, but it’s in the grounds of a family complex,” said a worried mom of two young boys, who asked not to be named. “There’s also a park right next door where children play and an elementary school just half a block away. “I would have thought he

wouldn’t be allowed anywhere near children or parks.” Richmond RCMP is aware of Fanning’s return to the city and confirmed to the News that his liberty is, indeed, subject to a string of conditions, such as: a curfew; having no contact with the victims; not being allowed in public parks, swimming areas, day cares, school grounds or community centres and not being allowed to communicate with persons under 18 or be alone with persons under 18.

“We go to that park almost every day and we live very close by and (Fanning living there) cannot be right,” said the mom. “Will my boys be safe?” One Rosewood Towers resident said he was very surprised to see Fanning return to the building this week. “He disappeared last year when the charges came out, but I noticed on Monday he’s back,” said the man, who wished to remain anonymous. see Resident page 4 07283111

Amazing Alex should be ‘poster boy’ for Down BY MICHELLE HOPKINS

Parents laud non-profit for helping them raise five-year-old son
Five-year-old Alex Franks bounds into the room and gives a big hug. Then, the adorable little tyke with a big grin shakes hands, as his parents Alana Brittan and Steve Franks look on. Alex has Down syndrome and his parents give credit to the Richmond Society for Community Living (RSCL) — a nonprofit organization committed to enhancing the lives of people with disabilities and helping them towards greater independence — has helped their son thrive and function in the ‘normal’ world. “Alex is highly motivated and so far he’s having an awesome school year,” said Brittan, who is an elementary school teacher in Surrey. “He’s being treated just like any other child in his class.” Alex attends Kingswood elementary school, one of three schools that are running RSCL’s Peer Awareness curriculum — the other two are Lord Byng and Blundell. Through the use of a colourful and fun activity booklet, the program teaches students PHOTO SUBMITTED in Grade 2 and 3 about inclusion for all, regardless of colour, race Five-year-old Alex, who has Down syndrome, shows off his reading skills to his 12-year-old brother, Oscar. or disability.

He should not be here, he should go back to live with his family in Surrey.” BC Housing said it could not comment on individual tenancies due to privacy concerns.
But the News understands that as soon as Fanning pleaded guilty, his offences breached a BC Housing “crime-free addendum,” allowing the organization to terminate his rental agreement. It’s believed he was ordered to get out of the apartment by the end of September, but has been allowed to remain on site after he lodged an appeal with the Residential Tenancy Branch. The Ministry of the Attorney General said the local police force is immediately notified of any offender’s bail conditions.

Berner claims self defence Witnesses testify stabbing victim, Ben Warland, prone to violence BY NELSON BENNETT
nbennett@richmond-news.com
A 23-year-old Richmond man stabbed to death in 2009 had a history of aggression, according to witnesses testifying for the defence in the Joshua Berner murder trial. Witnesses called by the defence testified Wednesday that Benjamin Warland — who was stabbed to death by Joshua Berner on Feb. 1, 2009 — had been involved in a number of fights, and on Tuesday Berner testified that Warland started the fight that ended in his death. Berner, 26, has admitted to stabbing Warland, but pleaded not guilty to the charge of second-degree murder, saying it was self defence. Carol Ann Bingham told the seven-woman, five-man jury that, in 2005, Warland, then 18, showed up at her home in Richmond with a baseball bat looking for her 15-year-old son. Bingham told Warland that her son was not home, and when she asked what the bat was for, she testified Warland said her son would need it if Warland caught up with him. “When Mr. Warland found him, he was going to ‘F---ing kill’ my son,” she said, paraphrasing Warland’s words. She explained Warland was upset with her son because Warland believed that her son had told Warland’s girlfriend at the time that he was cheating on her. Bingham called police, but said her son was reluctant to testify against Warland, so no charges were ever laid.

The annual fundraiser for the Fruit Sharing Project and Terra Nova Schoolyard Society will feature live music, a BBQ and plenty of apples and fruits. Learn how to grown them and eat them. Shane McMillan, right, and Marshall Orton of Stonecrop Garden Design helped organize the event.
Two other witnesses testified that in 2008, Warland had been involved in a bar fight in which he broke a glass door at J.P. Malone’s Neighbourhood Pub. The testimony was clearly intended to paint Warland as someone with violent tendencies. But defence counsel David Tarnow found one of his own witnesses less than cooperative. Nathaniel Sherwood — a reluctant witness who had to be subpoenaed to testify — downplayed his original statement to police about a run-in he had with Warland in May 2008
and even went so far as to suggest that the incident was irrelevant to the fight that killed Warland in February 2009. “I don’t think my incident with him was relevant to the time the crime (Warland’s death) took place,” he told Tarnow. Sherwood got into a scuffle with Warland after he had barged into Sherwood’s house uninvited asking to speak to Sherwood’s brother, who wasn’t home. When Sherwood told Warland to leave, the two men got into a scuffle in which Sherwood’s arm went through a window, resulting in some See Berner page 6

The agony of ecstasy
Richmond RCMP are warning kids and parents about the dangers of street drugs, after picking up three teenaged girls who turned out to be high on ecstasy. During a routine patrol on Sept. 24, an RCMP officer noticed three young girls walking in the No. 2 Road area at around 1 a.m. The officer decided to check on the girls, who turned out to be 14. They told the Mountie they had 10014427

I’d hate to think of where these young girls may have wound up if it wasn’t for the proactive efforts of our officer,” said Cpl. Sherrdean Turley of the Richmond RCMP.

Robin Pryce, 40, was in Richmond provincial court Sept. 22 to face charges of assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm and breach of recognizance. The charges stem from an incident on Aug. 30, in which a 31-year-old Seattle man was allegedly assaulted by Pryce when he showed up at a repair shop in the 11000 block of River Road to complain about some work that had been done to his wife’s vehicle. After allegedly striking the man, Pryce fled, according to police.

“No, I wouldn’t call it a rage,” Sherwood answered. “I would call it over-reacting.” Court records show that Warland was charged with assault and uttering threats in 2008 but the charges were stayed. Berner also has a criminal record. The jury heard earlier this week that he served seven months in jail on charges of break and entering and using an imitation firearm in 2004. He was also sentenced to two years less a day for another B and E in 2006. Testifying in his own defence Tuesday, Berner said Warland started the fight that ended his life, and that it was his own knife that was turned on him. According to Berner, a fight broke out when his friend and Warland began exchanging insults while getting off a bus in Richmond on Feb. 1, 2009. Berner testified that Warland came at him with a knife, which he managed to take from him, according to Crown counsel. Berner admitted to stabbing Warland, who died from his wounds.

City orders cleanup He was handed a week to sort out his properties or the city’s contractors will move in and do the work for him, then hand him the $14,000 bill. But a fellow owner of a property on Blundell Road — which has derelict cars, old appliances, wood debris, tires, car parts and scrap metal strewn around the yard — did not make an appearance at city hall, and council gave staff permission to send in a contractor to carry out the near $5,000 clean-up. Both owners have been
handed, in the past, several “order to comply” notices under the city’s unsightly premises bylaw. The Alberta Road property owner attracted the attention of the city and the fire and rescue department due to the unsecured, abandoned building and the overgrown vegetation, weeds, grass and blackberry bushes. A report placed before city council stated that public complaints about the property date back to 2008, with four “order to comply” notices dished out.

The City of Richmond is cracking down on a trio of unsightly properties. After a catalogue of complaints from the public, the city has given the owner of two premises one last chance to clean up his act, while time has run out for another owner. The owner of the two neighbouring properties on Alberta Road — which have been boarded up, fenced off and surrounded by sprawling vegetation — appeared before city council this week to plead his case.

Transit Police fire Clapham Clapham said he could not discuss details of his termination. “Unfortunately, I can’t say very much at this point,” he wrote. “I take great pride in my 30-year career in policing in Canada, and in particular the leadership roles I have had in Metro Vancouver over the past 10 years. “I joined the Transit Police two years ago and I am extremely proud of what my team accomplished in that time. I know I have done the right thing and represented the interests of the community. I am confident in the fullness of time this
will be recognized.” Clapham served as Richmond’s superintendent from 2001 to 2008. He left in April 2008, and did a brief stint as Director of Investigative Services for Absolute Software. In July 2008, he was appointed head of the Transit Police Services. While heading the Richmond RCMP, he implemented a number of preventative policing initiatives, like positive ticketing in which police hand out things like coupons and movie passes to kids to reinforce things like wearing bike helmets. 100110
A former Richmond RCMP superintendent known as visionary in his approach to preventative policing has been let go by the Transit Police. Ward Clapham, former superintendent of the Richmond RCMP, was fired last week for what the Transit Police Board called philosophical differences. “The board didn’t believe Ward’s philosophy was compatible with their strategic direction,” a Transit Police spokesperson said. “The philosophical differences were related to management style.” In an e-mail to the News,

P
rime Minister Stephen Harper is making a big push to get Canada elected to the United Nations Security Council. The prime minister openly pitched the True North in a speech in New York Thursday, and surely there is a corresponding amount of international horse trading going on behind the scenes. It’s an unexpected effort from a government that has shown little interest in the UN and, frankly, not a great deal of interest in foreign policy as a whole. On most of the big global issues — climate change, trade, conflict in the Middle East — the Conservatives seem fairly content to tread whatever path the Americans are taking. While not particularly inspiring, this is a policy rooted in realism. So why the sudden urge to sit at the grown-ups’ table? How will Canadians be better off by having a vote on the most important issues confronting the international community? In short, we won’t. There’s a certain patriotic satisfaction to seeing Canada move in the most senior of circles at the UN, but let’s be honest: When has a Security Council resolution mattered to anyone? Whenever Iran, or North Korea or another wayward state does something dangerous, there’s a predictable “condemnation” and then exactly nothing happens. Council resolutions add a nice air of legitimacy when the Americans really want to crack heads together, but it’s not like they won’t go to war without one. So perhaps it’s not that big a departure for Harper after all. Even if Canada does win a two-year term, don’t expect us to fall out of step with our cousins to the south. — North Shore News editorial

The Editor, Re: “Port urged to pay tax,” News, Sept. 29. Are you kidding me!? Dr. Enid Slack was commissioned to investigate, collect information, interpret, collate, and report on a shortfall of accounts receivable by the regional district of Metro Vancouver. I presume that there was a fee for this necessary service — but that’s another rant. Am I correct in understanding that someone in Richmond City Hall sent out a bill for the taxes due for the two ports in Richmond, and when the cheque received was “about a third of what they should be paying ... ” No one thought to say, “ahem, it’s a little short?” If I don’t pay the full amount for my Starbuck’s coffee, I don’t get my coffee at all! Oh sure, I have accounts receivable and payable for my business, and they revolve, but I’d get a pretty nasty call from any of my suppliers if I went 90 days past due, let alone $9 million short in payment. My account would be frozen. This is another “big business” getting a free ride, while the little guys (and gals) drown in the wake as they steam by. Send in the wolves! S. Seaborn Richmond
B&B neighbours should get a life The Editor, Re: “Neighbour feud reignites,” News, Sept. 29 I have never seen such petty bickering amongst whining sniveling neighbours about a legal enterprise being operated on a residential street anywhere. Why do you not direct your energy into something more constructive in your community instead of being so petty and narrow minded? A B&B is an attribute to a community and allows persons to enjoy the attributes of a hopefully congenial community. Get a life losers and get on with what really matters in life.

Land troubles require teamwork Land use disagreements have historically been one of the more divisive issues in our community. In the 1970s the proposal to develop high rise towers at Garry Point rallied numerous opponents who convinced the council of the day to reject that proposal. In a narrow five to four vote, council decided to purchase the land and turn it into the jewel that is Garry Point Park today. The rezoning of the Terra Nova lands from agricultural to residential uses passed by a five to four vote in the 1980s. It so angered and mobilized the residents that in the 1990 municipal election, they unseated the mayor and three of the four council members that had voted in favour of the rezoning. The newly elected mayor and council started negotiations with the developers resulting in acquiring additional open space and amenities at no extra cost to the City. Council then took the issue of borrowing money to purchase a large portion of the Terra Nova area for park and community uses to a referendum in the 1996 municipal election. The referendum passed. It was the approval of the voters, for the city to borrow money for the purchase of the land, that has made the current Terra Nova Park possible. In the late 1990s the BC Packers Cannery in Steveston was shut down due to the over supply of canning capacity along the
Coun. Evelina HalseyBrandt CITY SCENE
west coast. BC Packers applied to rezone their property from industrial to residential and the magnitude of this rezoning has changed the face of Steveston forever. The council of the day struck an advisory committee that helped to develop the master plan for the site. The developer, Onni Group, purchased the property from BC Packers and has developed the land according to the master plan. The last parcel on the lands is waterfront, on Bayview Street. Onni currently has a development permit to build on it, based on the master plan. The recent application by Onni to change the zoning on Bayview St. to allow two high-rises instead of the current allowable uses has caused a lot of anxiety and generated some extremely passionate debate. No one wants to see the whole site covered in buildings. Many interesting options have been suggested by various people. The challenge is to find uses that will meet both Onni’s needs as the owner as well as the community’s. What was approved in the initial rezoning may no longer be appropriate. I believe that some of the best things in Richmond
have been accomplished when our citizens have had a direct hand in the planning process. I would like to see a committee formed which consists of Onni, several citizens and Richmond planning staff to explore possible options that will complement and enhance what has already been built. I believe that this type of committee would come up with a solution that is acceptable to the majority. Another land use issue currently being debated is the proposed expansion of the Lingyen Mountain Temple on No. 5 Road. I am dismayed at some of the comments that have appeared in the local and daily papers. All religions worship and celebrate in different ways. We, in Richmond, have always respected and accommodated that. Deriding a proposed place of worship by calling it things such as a “Buddha Disneyland” is insensitive and intolerant. Disagreeing with the expansion is fine but it should be done in a respectful manner. These two latest land zoning matters may seem contentious and irresolvable now, but I am sure that in the end, they will be settled in a manner that will meet the wishes of the majority. What is needed is a willingness to be open to new ideas and acknowledging that compromises may be necessary to achieve an acceptable alternative to what is currently proposed.

Richmond teachers, take a bow The Editor, As we celebrate World Teachers Day on Oct. 5, the board joins with students, parents and our community to recognize that dedicated and highly capable people, and on this occasion particularly teachers, are critical for providing quality education. Through their daily work of leading, coaching, mentoring, illuminating, enabling, encouraging and inspiring, our staff makes a tremendous contribution to sustainable development by building its human foundation — development of a child’s capacity and desire to learn. Today is only one opportunity to celebrate teachers. The best celebration is a practical one, where 365 days a year we show our appreciation and understanding of the noble and complex role that is a teacher. The board recognizes how important
teachers are and celebrates their hard work and dedication to inspire excellence in learning and to improve the life chances of our children. Teachers, of course, work in partnership with many administrators and support staff in the schools and with parents in the community. In these difficult economic times the board especially wants to thank all of our staff and acknowledge that it is through the partnerships and relationships that we are able to achieve such exceptional results and provide the high quality of life and learning experience that our children deserve. Thank you for making Richmond public schools a great place to learn. Linda McPhail Chairperson Richmond Board of Education
Check out social dichotomy at dog hotel
The Editor, Re: “Oh, to be in the doghouse,” Opinion, Sept. 29. Bravo on your excellent and insightful editorial opinion expressing the dichotomy between how we treat our animals and how we treat our fellow human beings! It is the world of the rich and the world of the poor that share the same city. The values that you pictured are not only filled with irony, but are bizarre because of the way we disregard human life. The worlds of the rich and the poor are widening steadily and becoming even more severe as the cold weather approaches, especially for those who are at the bottom rung of our social ladder here in Richmond — the mentally ill. This is the most livable city, where we have spent millions of dollars for the athletic young while allowing our most marginal-
ized to live almost like animals without food, warm clothing, a proper bed, clean water, bathrooms or any place to call their own. The very basic necessities are denied, while we build a doggy hotel with amenities that belong to royalty. Think of what $1,000 could do to help our food bank. Think of those who will soon find themselves curled up in a park, while dogs sleep with sheepskin covers. Sometimes people feel that the condition of the poor is their own fault. As someone who has worked with the poorest of the poor, I can say, the poor do not have the choices we all have, and sometimes their illnesses are the result of being destitute or faced with rejection, loss and a lack of human compassion.

Barn door to planning heaven eternally open still deemed as 10 acres of ALR. Thus, the faith-based groups are forced by governments to keep ALR inventory numbers artificially inflated in some sort of ‘deal with the devil’ in return for ASY zoning. In my own neighbourhood, I have two faith-based groups whose buildings and paved parking lots easily cover 90 plus per cent of their ALR properties. There are many other such examples throughout Richmond’s ALR. As to the height concerns, some quick research on Google show the tallest faith-based structure in Metro Vancouver is 70 metres. Richmond’s current maximum height restrictions for all structures are approximately 47 metres. Thus, what is reasonable? The ALC Act, which governs the ALR, specifically limited the types of non agricultural related structures, and
ASY zoning was not specifically permitted within the ALC ACT. Both the ALC and the city allied to allow aforementioned exceptions, the blame lies squarely in their laps. Once you allow exceptions, the barn door is “eternally” open. Thus, I submit to the ALC and the city to quit imposing a false label that these long developed ASY lands can be farmed in any other than a token sense and that the city also quit acting in collusion wth the ALC to artifically inflate the ALR numbers. Solution: Simply move forward with an ALR exclusion for the Highway to Heaven R.A.Hoegler Richmond

The Editor, Re: “Misconception plague plan,” News, Sept. 17. A bigger question comes to mind.Why is the City of Richmond forcing faith-based groups on No. 5 Road’s Highway to Heaven to “live a lie?” The City of Richmond’s GIS system clearly provides a cyberspace paper trail as to the evolution of all such developments on the Richmond ALR’s “Highway to Heaven.” As Metro Vancouver grows, another type of zoning that attracts premium prices, due to scarcity of large suitable sites, is assembly (ASY), which allows for temples, mosques, synagoues, churches etc. In the early 1990s the city, in a joint venture with the ALC, created a special zone within the No. 5 Road ALR to accomodate the ASY needs of various faith groups. Effectively, the zonings changed from AG (Agriculture)/ ALR to include ASY. While special conditions were imposed on the faith groups in return for such ASY zoning on ALR land, it should have been quite obvious at the time to the city and the ALC that faith groups on such large ALR parcels would grow and eventually expand. Whether expansions of facilities manifest themselves in a sprawling or vertical manner is irrelevant, future impacts (aka growth) were inevitable as congregations grew. However, for those not aware of how ALR inventory works, the building footprints as well as the paved parking lots are still deemed as ALR inventory, but such land is lost forever to farming. Example: If a group has a 10 acre ALR parcel, and five acres are built on and paved over, the entire 10 acre parcel is

Fall always makes me think about the fundamental importance of education. When students return to their classrooms, I’m reminded of the value of education, and to that end, I believe that appropriate cycling related education is such an important component in bicycling safely.

healthy lifestyle. I’d also love to see such education linked to B.C.’s graduated driver’s licensing program. Since cyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers of motor vehicles, advanced cycle training can only benefit future drivers, as well. Perhaps an incentive could be made that rewards the successful completion of an approved cycling course with shorter probationary driving period. It would be of tremendous benefit for drivers to receive more appropriate education regarding bicycles on the road. If you believe education is important, ask your MLA to champion cycling education, as part of B.C. schools’ core Phys Ed curriculum.

We’ve been correcting vision for 25 years. And this is our 80,000th celebration.
Bernard Weidman died in 2008, the father of four adult children. He did not provide a happy life, leaving the family in 1971 with their mother. She died in 1980. In his Will, his Estate was left to one daughter, Sharon (who is plagued with numerous health problems). Two children were content with the Will but one, Cheryl, challenged it. Reasons for judgment were handed down last week (Hutchison v. Weidman Estate). The Court determined that Mr. Weidman had a moral duty to Cheryl, who is a registered nurse, also with several health problems. However, Sharon’s situation was far worse. The Estate was valued at about $1.1 million, and partly because of the cost of Sharon’s anticipated future care, varied the Will to provide Cheryl $75,000. The Court carefully analyzed the circumstances of each sister, and determined that Mr. Weidman really intended to “look out” for Sharon even though he did have a moral duty to Cheryl. To me, this was a just result.

Community INVESTMENTS
Kim Inglis FINANCES
Prudent investors include dividend-producing investments in their portfolios to provide both income and tax advantages. Some use dividends to augment retirement income while others have no immediate need for cash. Those not requiring the income should consider dividend reinvestment plans (DRIPs). Instead of receiving cash payouts, investors enrolled in DRIPs reinvest dividends in additional shares. There are many benefits. DRIPs enable investors to acquire shares cost-effectively. Most plans are free of charge and bypass brokerage fees. Some companies even encourage DRIP investment by offering discounts to the market price on shares, likely reflecting the fact that DRIPs are a cost-effective way for them to raise equity. For the investor, that discount is like getting a little extra return on their investment. Most DRIPs allow single share purchases with immediate reinvestment and some even permit fractional shares, which mean that investors aren’t waiting for cash to accumulate before buying more shares. DRIP investors gain through the power of compounding. If they buy companies with a history of raising dividends, the compounding effect will accelerate as dividends are increased. Investors benefit from dollar-cost averaging, with cash dividends reinvested on a regular schedule at prevailing prices. During the recent market correction, this strategy enabled investors to acquire shares at historic lows. By regularly reinvesting at each payment cycle, they ultimately lowered the total average cost base of their investment. DRIPs are very tax-efficient because reinvested dividends are taxable in the same manner as cash dividends. Investors report tax payable as dividend income and benefit from the dividend tax credit. There are different ways of participating in a DRIP.
Registered shareholders can enrol directly through the participating company. Investors holding shares at a brokerage firm can also enrol. Non-registered shareholders simply contact their advisor and ask to be enrolled in that company’s plan. DRIPs also have drawbacks. Investors may wind up with an uneven amount of shares, called odd lots. When liquidating a posi-
tion, this can make it difficult to sell at the desired price, as the price spread can be quite wide. Should an investor need to sell in a hurry, this can pose some problems. As well, some investment firms charge higher brokerage fees for odd lots. Once the position is sold, DRIPs will need to be accounted for when calculating the capital gain or loss. Since dividends are regularly
reinvested, it means the average cost base is constantly changing. Some investors find this process a bit tedious at tax time. As a long-term strategy, DRIPs have proven successful. They can be a very effective way to accumulate wealth while reducing the impact of volatility on portfolio performance. Kim Inglis is an Investment Advisor, CIM with Canaccord Wealth.

Journey to the places that time forgot BY DAVE H ALLIDAY Postmedia News
The prospect of a visit to the past leaves us thinking of how we can possibly step back in time. Wouldn’t it be fun, if only for an afternoon? A grain elevator near Alberta’s eastern border invites visitors to take a different perspective on time-travelling with its Climb Thru Time Museum. The historical journey takes visitors past a variety of scenes from Prairie life, ranging from the farmyard to an early school room to horse-drawn implements. Bill Dobson of the Paradise Valley and District Museum Society said the intention was to present a view of pioneer life in Western Canada, not just in Paradise Valley and area. The community is located 220 kilometres east of Edmonton, between Lloydminster and Wainwright. After 15 years of operation, the museum attracts a steady flow of school and seniors groups as well as the general public — about 3,000 people a year. The visitors are not only Albertans, Dobson said, pointing out that one year the museum attracted guests from nine provinces, one territory and 30 countries. That demonstrates “how tourism is possible, even in a little place,” he said. Comments from visitors show that they appreciate the approach taken by the muse-

The Paradise Valley museum includes the grain elevator, the annex where the Climb Thru Time is located, and a tiny railway station. While wooden grain elevators dominated the Prairie skyline for decades, they have been disappearing rapidly in the last quarter century, especially in Alberta. Fewer than 250 elevators remain of the 1,800 that were built across the province. To visitors from other parts of the country, grain elevators serve as the quintessential
symbol of Western Canada. As wooden elevators have disappeared, their role has been usurped by much larger inland grain terminals — these concrete structures lack the visual appeal of their wooden forebears. Not only have the elevators disappeared, but the rail lines that served them have also been abandoned and the tracks removed. Faced with the rapid disappearance of these landmarks, Alberta supporters banded together to save a few of those that remain. Communities such as Andrew, St. Albert, Paradise Valley, Acadia Valley and Nanton are among those who have saved their elevators and converted them to museums. A Leduc group is in the process of turning its
elevator into an interpretive centre. The experiences at the elevators vary from a visit to the grain-unloading area and office to a demonstration of the workings of an elevator at the Reynolds-Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin. Some museums include tea rooms or snack bars, while others are located close to restaurants. The Climb Thru Time Museum fills the annex, which is larger than most, standing nearly as tall as the elevator. This annex, used to provide extra capacity for grain storage, consists of vertical bins like a series of elevator shafts. Volunteers spent many hours cutting through the sides of the grain bins and building a walkway and display spaces inside the annex. The floors and walkway create a safe environment for visitors. The gently sloping walkway takes visitors past a series of dioramas — scenes that depict pioneer life in Western Canada. Dobson said the group purchased the elevator, the last of six that once stood in the village, in 1989. The society bought the structure from Alberta Wheat Pool, and CP Rail donated the land. Several years were spent in cleaning and construction before the museum opened to the public in 1995. But Dobson knew he had to rally see Museum page 17

Continued from page 16 community support behind the project. The society held an open house in early 1995 to show the community the partly completed museum. The open house attracted 125 people, creating “a positive turning point” and enthusiasm for the facility, Dobson said. After the open house, the society was able to push ahead with completion of the museum. Ironically, the museum that provides a good demonstration of how elevators operate is not one of these preserved buildings — it’s a large display at the Reynolds-Alberta Museum. The display not only shows how a truck unloads grain, but also reveals a part of the elevator — the area with grain handling chutes — that most museums

can’t show since it’s off-limits at the top of the building. The display also includes the manlift — a small platform pulled up by a counterweighted rope that allowed an elevator worker to reach the chutes and other equipment at the top of the building. So, this museum offers the opportunity to see how parts of the elevator work that aren’t visible in other museums. “Our visitors do find the grain elevator to be quite interesting,” said Kerry Atkinson, educator at the museum. “With many visitors coming from other parts of the country or the world, they find the workings to be a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Prairies.” For senior citizens, the elevator unleashes a flood of memories since these buildings were an important part of the social life in a community. “Many of our older visitors tell us stories from their lives that involved an elevator and how our exhibit makes them relive their past,” Atkinson said. “Demonstrations give our visitors a deeper understanding of how the elevator works. Demonstrations are usually offered during Harvest Festival.” In addition to the grain elevator display, the Reynolds-Alberta Museum houses one of Canada’s best collections of agricultural machinery and collector cars and trucks.

Sports Richmond swimmer recognized for outstanding summer results
An outstanding summer of swimming has earned Richmond’s Noemie Thomas Swimming Canada’s Team Aquatic Supplies Female Athlete of the Month Award. Training under the guidance of coach Tom Rushton, 10 times a week with the Tsawwassen-based Winskill Dolphins Swim Club, has certainly seen some impressive results for this Grade 9 student at McMath secondary school. Thomas holds a number of provincial records and is currently the 11-12 and 13-14 Girls Canadian record holder for the 100 metre butterfly. The 14-year-old was a member of the
Canadian Prospects Team which competed at the Montreal Canada Cup where she was a finalist in 50, 100, and 200 metre butterfly events. She also helped to win a silver medal in the women’s 4x100 medley relay. Thomas was also selected to compete at the North American Challenge Cup but ended up swimming up to the Junior Pan Pacific Championships where she was the youngest member of the team. It was at the Jr. Pan Pacs where she swam her personal best time of 1:00.20 in the 100 fly, and claimed the new national record for 13-and-14-year-old girls. It was this performance in Kihei, Maui that resulted the monthly award.

Richmond’s James Muter competes in the bike portion of the recent Iron Mountain Triathon held at Whonnock Lake.
Greater Vancouver Canadians are set for their first weekend home series of the season after an impressive 3-1 start out of the gate. The B.C. Major Midget Hockey League team, which features the top 15-to-17-yearolds from Richmond, Delta and Vancouver, managed a split with the Okanagan Rockets last weekend in Kelowna. The hosts opened the series with a 6-4 win on Saturday and the Canadians answered with a 3-1 win Sunday, behind the solid goaltending of Tristan Jarry. Demico Hannoun paced the attack with four points over the two games, including
the game-winning goal. Brodyn Nielsen and Garrett Forster also scored. Nicolas Petan chipped in with a pair of assists. Hannoun had a pair in game one, with singles to Vancouver Giants first round pick Anthony Ast and Nielsen. A week earlier, the Canadians put on a defensive clinic against the North Island Silvertips — producing 4-0 and 3-0 victories. Jarry and Richmond Minor product Brodie Burdeny earned the shutouts. The Canadians entertain the Thompson Blazers this weekend with game one set for Saturday at Sungod Arena and the series concluding at 11:30 a.m. Sunday in Ladner.

SMITH Vernon Hugh born April 24, 1926 in Burnaby, passed away September 12, 2010. Predeceased by his wife, Mary. He leaves his 5 children, Catherine (Ward) MacKay, Lorraine, David, Ron and Glenn (Dawn-Marie). He was so proud of his grandchildren, Laura, Julia, Kenny, Ryan, Rob, Melissa, Ian, Jessica and Chace. We are grateful for the companionship of his good friend, Masako. Also, survived by his 2 Brothers, Ron and Dave. Our Dad served in the Canadian Army for a short time before marrying the love of his life. He retired in 1987 after a long career as a photoengraver with Cleland Kent, Pacific Press and Keystone Business Forms. Our Dad made many friends along the way and he was most noted for his love of cooking, wood working and fishing. A tea will be held in his honour at his home on Sunday November 14, 2010. Please donate to the Heart Foundation. “He wouldn’t have it any other way”. Gone fishing.

Cancer June 21-July 22: The accent lies on home, children, security, gardening, nutrition, Mother Nature, foundations and basics. A streak of romance runs through your days (e.g., this Friday/Saturday) – right into next January. If you’re happily married, you’ll bask in love of children, creative joys, nature’s beauty, sports and/or simple pleasures, speculation, gambling, etc. Chase money Sunday. A Monday disagreement might be building with your mate over domestic/property concerns. It’s minor, but points to larger issues. Run errands, chat Tuesday/Wednesday. Friday p.m. starts an intriguing weekend! Leo July 23-Aug. 22: It’s a busy time but not an important time, Leo. Do paperwork, errands, chat, travel, email, schedule (especially Wednesday/ Thursday) but rest on a deeper level. Pause to watch nature, to meditate, contemplate, or simply to drink in family joys. (You’re a sweet’n’sour mixture in domestic arenas – after October, only the sweet will remain.) You shine Sunday, your charisma and energy surge. Chase money carefully Monday to Wednesday. (Your work habits need an overhaul: work smarter, not harder.) Friday afternoon begins a long, deep, renewing weekend – family reunions are blessed! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Money, earnings, buying/selling fill this month. Your days bring interesting errands, casual meetings, paperwork, communications – a casual friendship could develop into a light romance (likely Oct. 8-10). You might sense that under a surface of free and easy flirtation a deeper “turn” is lurking – and it is. (Ditto in all areas – lightness hides depths. E.g., light communications or errands/travel could lead to an investment.) For students and intellectuals, October is a superb month for research and writing. Rest, lie low Sunday. Your energy and charisma rise Monday eve to Wednesday.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: A powerful week for relationships,marriage,businesspartnerships,dealing with the public, opportunities, possible fame. What transpires now will have “sweet echoes” for three months. Love relationships are helped by October’s high level of sexual desire. Business partnerships might go through a process of re-arrangement, buyout, or balancing of assets/ownership. (All through October, with “lingering trailers” to January 2011.) Be diplomatic, flexible; if you insist on your way, you might turn opportunities into refusals, potential partners into competitors. Romance Sunday! Taurus April 20-May 20: The monthly emphasis lies on employment, chores, machinery, dependents and health. A new job can arise Wednesday onward. An important affectionate relationship might be developing – although you could begin to have a few mild doubts about your commitment to this bond. The same might be said about a contract, negotiation, relocation opportunity, or litigation. This indecision is due to a temporary factor. By late November, December, you’ll return to certainty about bonding with a person, place, agreement, etc., so remain optimistic. Excitement or disagreement grows Friday/Saturday. Gemini May 21-June 20: Romance (with a coworker?) pleasure, beauty are at the top of your wish list. You’re on a winning streak – you can succeed in speculation, gaming, sports and creative ventures. All these, from romance to creativity, are marked by a new sobriety, slowness and carefulness. Good, these will eventually bring depth, strength and durability to any love or venture you undertake. Your health needs attention. Your career ambitions will get an autumn boost (be active but patient: fastest progress comes in December). Rest early week. Wednesday to Saturday brings romantic (et al) excitement!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Your charisma, energy, effectiveness and confidence soar, especially Wednesday afternoon to the weekend. Get out, start major projects, tackle difficult situations. See and be seen – be there in person. You’ll impress others. A sensual relationship attracts you all autumn – or you might pursue a luxury purchase. Either way, don’t be discouraged if mild delays occur next week to midto late November: success will still be the outcome. Sunday’s social, happy. But retreat, rest and plan mid-day Monday to mid-day Wednesday. If you have to insist Monday, it signals future incompatibility. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Rest, lie low, replenish energies. Life is sending a mixed message: your sexual/partnership magnetism is high, but the energy you need to act on it is low. Reflect on what you really want in love, so when your energy rises (Oct. 23 onward) you can chase the right person. There’s no rush – your unusual attractiveness will last into early January. Meanwhile, attend to neglected duties, governmental or institutional contacts, and administrative chores. Follow charitable urges. Drink spiritual breaths, envision your future. Tuesday, happiness! Saturday highlights that magnetism! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Wishes come true, but in a quiet, sober way. Optimism, light romance, popularity, entertainment and social joys fill this month. Many of your deepest desires stay hidden, which can lead to a clandestine attraction, or might simply leave you quiet and contemplative despite your happiness. Realize that now to late 2012, your real wish is for money. Start thinking of ways to make this one come true. Your real estate luck returns, now to late January. Sunday’s mellow, loving. Monday brings a disagreement about money and the future. Midweek offers joy, friends. Rest, Friday eve, Saturday.

Oct. 3 - Oct. 9 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The accent lies on ambition, career, prestige relationships, your status in the community.You’ll meet with bigwigs or authorities, or feel their influence, especially Wednesday to Friday. If meeting, put on your charm – your social skills are tops now into next January. You might meet a “just right” romantic prospect in a group – if Monday to Wednesday, he/she will be obviously drawn to you. If late month – Oct. 22 to 24 — you will be the pursuer. Life’s depths, sex, finances, major commitments intrigue you Sunday. Wisdom Monday/Tuesday. Happiness Friday eve, Saturday! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: For you, October is always loving, gentle, wise and compassionate. But this October your sweet mood can be slightly sullied by either 1) a temptation to use romance as a rung on the ladder of ambition, or 2) frustration that true love is unavailable. Realize that temptation and denial/ frustration are two manifestations of the same thing. (True love is never denied, but blocked by temptation.) Or, you might find true love now, especially Sunday (opposites attract) Monday-Wednesday (lust) Wednesday-Friday (gentle mind-meld) or Friday/ Saturday (nervous romance). An interesting week! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: You swim in life’s depths now: subconscious urges rise, your dreams intrigue, hunches prove accurate – rely on them when making consequential decisions. Commitments are serious, in finances, intimacy, lifestyle areas. What you do now can change your life. That applies particularly to love of a marriage/wedding kind, and to legal affairs touching on earnings and/or possessions (Friday/Saturday). A few months ago you had powerful ambitions, optimism about your prospects – grab those again, because you’re on a lucky four-month roll in career, worldly ambitions. Opportunities Tuesday! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
