ELECTION 2011

And ... they’re off Political rival kicks off race with a spat over campaign signs BY ALAN CAMPBELL & GRAEME WOOD acampbell@richmond-news.com

CHUNG CHOW/RICHMOND NEWS

Liberal hopeful Joe Peschisolido (below, left) managed to irk Tory election rival Alice Wong (below, right) on the first day of campaigning with his signs plonked illegally onto the city-owned Garden City lands (above).

There are five weeks of fierce political debate ahead – but it took Richmond’s main rivals just two days to remove the gloves in their 2011 federal election fight. On Friday, Prime Minister Stephen Harper called for a May 2 election, the 41st in Canadian history, after opposition parties supported a nonconfidence motion in the Conservative government. By Monday, with the main protagonists, still dusting down their campaign offices, Tory incumbent Alice Wong fired the first salvo across the bows of her chief threat, the Liberal’s Joe Peschisolido. But Wong and her team were not dragging up Peschisolido’s former party-swapping antics or spreading fear of a coalition government — they were telling tales on their enemy putting up campaign signs illegally on the city-owned Garden City lands. “I just wanted the voters to know that the rules need to be observed,” Wong told the News on Monday. “It’s up to the city now, it’s their job (to take the signs down). “I insist during this campaign on taking the high way. The opposition might choose to do oth-

erwise, but I’ve always campaigned on the high way.” Wong’s campaign manager, Sacha Peter, said in a press release that, “we have been very careful in our campaign to follow the signage rules, and to respect the intent behind those rules. “We intentionally contacted the City of Richmond on Friday asking permission to put our signs on the Garden City lands and were denied. “Consequently we were very disappointed yesterday to see Mr. Peschisolido’s signs on that very property. Perhaps Mr. Peschisolido was not aware that the Garden City lands were now owned by (the city).” Wong’s office contacted the city over the weekend to complain about the signs. City spokesman Ted Townsend said Peschisolido’s office was told Monday to remove the signs. “We had a lot of calls from the public expressing concern,” he said. “Our bylaw is quite clear and the signs were gone by the end of Monday.” Peschisolido told the News on Monday that the signs were wrongly erected by an overly keen and young campaign team. “We had young enthusiastic volunteers who have never worked on a campaign before and were not aware of the rules,” said Peschisolido, noting the signs were immediately removed after he heard see Wong page 4

Young man clubbed to death during gang-related attack Special to the News

A gang-related slaying in Kamloops has left Richmond resident Archie Lepretre, 22, dead. The murder happened last week in broad daylight at an elementary school basketball court, a block and a half from the main strip in Kamloops. Sgt. Grant Learned of $

Kamloops RCMP said this was a targeted gang related attack. Lepretre and his cousin — who is known to Kamloops police as a local gang member — were playing basketball last Tuesday when three members of an apparent rival gang approached them dressed in black bandannas with knives and a baseball bat. Kamloops RCMP described

the scene as a “violent donnybrook” fight which left Lepretre and his cousin with “severe blunt trauma.” After the attack, Lepretre was given CPR by a passerby, and paramedics worked on him at the scene for another 20 minutes. He was rushed to Royal Inland Hospital, but was pronounced dead upon arrival. Crime scene investigators have

How not to starve as an artist BY DAVID MURPHY Special to the News

You can make a living making art, contrary to popular belief. Senior secondary school students have the difficult task of finding out what they want to study in college or university. And many don’t see the arts as a sustainable source of income for their potential careers. “Kids are encouraged to go into more practical things like business or becoming a lawyer,” said Richmond School Art Program coordinator Kathy Tycholis. Tycholis thinks kids don’t see their artistic talents taking them far, so they take safer, more reliable courses after secondary school. “They take what their parents want them to take.” But contemporary artists, ceramic artists, cinematographers and even graffiti artists can make a living. Although Tycholis admits a paycheck has to be secondary if you want to make it in the business, doing what you love is a reward within itself. “It boils down to this passion for art, and that’s what keeps you going,” said Tycholis. Richmond secondary school teacher Sid Akselrod tries to instill this passion into his students who get the choice to study an array of art forms like photography, painting, 3D Art and more — and some are

A student partakes in last year’s Arts for Life at the Richmond Art Gallery. choosing to use their artistic talents after high school, too. Three of his high school students have already been accepted into Emily Carr University of Art and Design and two are on their way to fashion school. Tycholis stresses there are indeed many careers in the arts. That’s why the Richmond Art Gallery is teaming up with the Richmond school district to host its annual Arts for Life event to promote arts careers.

Cummins joins B.C. Tory race John Cummins has finally revealed the worst kept secret in B.C. politics — he is running for the B.C. Conservatives Party leadership. It has been widely reported Cummins would throw his hat in the ring after his resignation in the House of Commons last Thursday. The former Delta-Richmond East MP leaves his constituency to join the B.C. political scene after 18 years in Ottawa. He said there needs to be a better choice then the two dominating politi-

cal parties in B.C. “The choice between the Liberals and NDP is like a choice between airline food and hospital food,” said Cummins in a press release. Cummins said he can lure voters and members of the B.C. Liberal party after the appointment of Christy Clark. He said she is a carbon copy of Gordon Campbell, and people want change. “The calls we’ve been getting of membership growth even without a leader, it’s just been phenomenal,” he said. — David Murphy

For more on this story, go to www.richmond-news.com

The 18th annual Arts for Life allows 120 Richmond students to take part in a series of lectures from some of the most successful artists in Canada. These artists provide hour-long seminars on their artistic form and teach students how to make a career out of their talent. “When I come back from the event, they are super charged,” said Akselrod. “They just can’t wait to start doing some of the things they saw.”

This year’s event includes accomplished mixed media and mosaic artist Lilian Broca — a Vancouver artist who has written five arts books and has had her work showcased in 65 exhibitions around the world. It also features local-based talents like oil painter Michael Abraham, Hollywood featured cinematographer Eric Goldstein, animation artist Cindy Mochizuki and graffiti artist Take 5. Akselrod said kids who do make it in the arts industry after secondary school remember this event. It’s so popular that districts from around the Lower Mainland ask him if their kids can attend too. “I think Richmond is the only one that does this,” said Akselrod, adding the school board, school district and art gallery all need to be congratulated on putting a premier event together. “The school board, gallery, artists and students — the collaboration is really healthy. “I find that when different parts of the community come together to understanding, it brings the best out of everyone.” Arts for Life is free for students and runs from 8:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. on April 28. Students can sign up by inquiring with their arts teachers.

Lawyer runs in Richmond-East Dark financial past revealed once more BY JEFF LEE & ALAN CAMPBELL Postmedia News

It’s only been two weeks since veteran MP John Cummins stepped down from the DeltaRichmond East seat that he made his own for 18 years. But the local Tory Party riding is finding the path to slotting in Cummins’ successor is, indeed, a rocky one. Last week, the party selected Dale Saip as its federal candidate. Three days later, on Thursday, they dismissed Delta school board

Saip, who won the nomination last Tuesday when he beat Findlay 78-66, said that he had nothing to hide and all of his financial past had been declared to his party in his candidacy application.

Wong: Won’t duck fight Continued from page 1 of the mistake. The campaign sign debacle is sure to gust wind into the sails of what is expected to already be a blustery campaign. In the blue corner is Wong, who in 2008 garnered nearly half of the popular vote in the riding (49.81 per cent), becoming the closest Richmond MP to accomplish that task since Progressive Conservative Tom Siddon did it in 1984. In the red corner is Peschisolido, a former Richmond MP from 2000 to 2004, who was initially sworn into parliament as a member of the Canadian Alliance but jumped to the Liberal side in 2002. “Should I have waited a little bit to move over like Keith Martin? Perhaps,” said

Meanwhile, Wong, who flew into Richmond from Ottawa on Saturday morning, is quietly confident of seeing off Peschisolido in the election, just as she did with Chan three years ago. “I’m cautiously optimistic as every campaign is different,” said a hoarse Wong, whose voice is feeling the strain already. “I will be reminding voters of my past performance and I’ll tell them that I’ve been their voice in securing funding for the necessary infrastructure and for improving the quality of life in Richmond.” As for any head-to-head public debates with her rival, Wong said she cannot be everywhere all of the time, but she “never shied away in 2004 and 2008 and I won’t shy away again.”

Peschisolido on his infamous floor-crossing. “But here we are in 2011 and we have a choice to make.” At stake for Richmond residents this election are local and national issues that would best be served by the Liberal Party, Peschisolido said. “I would be a more effective MP on issues such as the Garden City lands. But ultimately it’s a decision for the good people of Richmond to make.” Peschisolido said the Canadian government should not have profited $26 million from the sale of the Garden City lands at the expense of Richmond taxpayers. He noted Wong has yet to fulfill her promise in 2008 to help build a large urban park on the land.

Continued from page 1 around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, when businesses were closing and people were about. Lepretre has faced several charges in Kamloops and Vancouver Provincial Court over the past four years including assault, extortion, possession of a controlled substance and possession of a restricted firearm. He was not known to be 03303810

0223????

Brother: Lepretre not a gang-banger a member of any criminal gang, but he was associated with members known to a gang, according to Kamloops RCMP. However, Lepretre, who worked at Boston Pizza at Ackroyd Road as a cook, had a passion for contributing to charities, and was working with a friend to deliver used furniture to lowincome families and charities

according to half-brother Jason Tremblay. “He was a smart young man who learnt from his past mistakes,” said Tremblay in an email response to the News. “He was a victim of a gang violence, not a gang banger.” “We miss him dearly … he spoke nothing but kind words and had the greatest laughter that was infectious to those around him.”

A retired Richmond taxi driver was in for a surprise when his attempt to cross the border to the U.S. left him in stunned and, for a while, in handcuffs. Tony Kanavaros said his plan was to drive to Seattle’s Seat-Tax Airport on Monday with his wife and daughter, who was flying to New York City. When he got to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection booth he showed the officer the requested passports. The guard took the travel documents then ordered Kanavaros to turn off his car and hand over the keys. “Then I heard him say over what seemed to be a loudspeaker: ‘Driver, get out of the car and reach out and open your door from the outside,’” said Kanavaros. Kanavaros was stunned by the strange instruction but did as he was told. “I thought: What the hell is going on? I knew I hadn’t done anything wrong. So I got out. “And then he said: ‘Put your hands above your head and walk backwards towards me.’ I did that and then they put me in handcuffs.” Kanavaros was placed in a room in the U.S. Customs building while his wife and daughter were similarly ordered out of the car and taken to a separate room. “I waited there about 15 minutes. One guy was sitting by the door guarding me. I’m 69 years old. I wasn’t going anywhere.” Another border agent finally arrived and began asking Kanavaros questions about his 2001 Volvo. They told him the car had been reported stolen. Once Kanavaros handed over his vehicle registration, he was no longer a suspect and the family was allowed to proceed to Seattle. “They were very apologetic and this and that. They claimed that it was the RCMP who had reported it stolen. But all they had to do was ask me a couple of questions right away and everything would have been sorted out. Instead they took us away as if we were terrorists.” Upon his return to the Canadian border, Kanavaros was again questioned about his Volvo. Turns out his car was also flagged as stolen on the Canada Border Services Agency database. The Canadian customs agents went through his vehicle registration papers, but unlike their American counterparts did not put Kanavaros in handcuffs. How his car came to be reported as stolen remains a mystery. He contacted the RCMP and ICBC on Tuesday, but each agency told him they had no record of his vehicle being reported snatched. Thomas Schreiber, a media relations officer with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, declined to discuss the incident, saying that he couldn’t comment on an individual inspection. “I can say that our procedures mirror those commonly employed throughout the law enforcement community.

A fire roared through industrial buildings in east Richmond Saturday morning, devastating several businesses. Six fire trucks responded to the 6:30 a.m. blaze on Voyager Way between Simpson Road and Olafsen Avenue, but no people were in the buildings at the time. Unknown chemicals have been reportedly the cause of the fire but investigators are still determining the main cause. The fire originated at the east side of the industrial block building early in the morning and was completely extinguished by 9:30 a.m.,

three hours after fire crews arrived at the scene. “It was quite large, it had two businesses completely engulfed and gone, and a third was very fully impacted,” said Richmond Fire-Rescue deputy chief Tim Wilkinson. Firefighters used a “defensive approach” to contain the 2-alarm blaze by spraying the building from the outside in. “The building became unstable quite early,” said Wilkinson. “Within five minutes the terraces that hold up the roof and connect the walls lose strength.” This prevents firefighters walking into the building for fear of the roof collapsing, so firefighters opted

to defend other buildings around it and reduce even more damage. “It went for so long, but it was a controlled fire. It was a matter of maintaining it but not letting it get worse.” Wilkinson said it’s hard to say when the investigation will be over as the insurance company’s case just opened up on Monday. He described four of the 12 businesses as being “severely damaged” and the other eight sustained smoke and water damage. Peripower Enterprise Inc — a business that makes computer parts — looks to be the one most affected by the fire. A GPS store, stone masonry, and furniture shop also look to be badly damaged.

Catherine Hara, a member of the Jodo Shin Taiko drum troupe, wears a band of hope at Japanese Buddhist Temple in Steveston in honour of the victims and survivors of the Japanese earthquake. Japan’s consulate general Hideki paid a visit Saturday to the temple for an interfaith vigil.

Businesses rally to raise funds for earthquake victims Special to the News

Steveston mom Janet Yau says she has happily bitten off more than she can chew to help the Japanese earthquake victims. Yau voluntarily organized a raffle draw to raise money for the earthquake and tsunami emergency response efforts in Japan. Last week, Yau solicited Steveston businesses for donations for the raffle after being inspired by other fundraising events in the community, particularly a bake sale at a local preschool. “I attended the charity relief walk last Sunday and I was really inspired by the school,” Yau said. “I saw the kids’ faces. They had these handmade

posters; It was touching to see they were making an effort.” After collecting more than $2,100 worth of prizes from more than 50 merchants, her goal is to raise $10,000 for the Canadian Red Cross by April 11 when the draw for 84 prizes is held at the Steveston Community Centre. “I want to make a difference because of the generosity of the merchants and of course because of the cause,” she said. Among the prizes are: An electric toothbrush donated by Bayview Dental Centre; a whale watching ticket from Vancouver Whale Watch; lingerie from Bare Basics; toys from Splash Toy Shop; and gift certificates from several restaurants and shops.

Now that Yau has secured the prizes, the only remaining task at hand is to sell the raffle tickets —something Yau admits she’s never done before and something she’s realized could take “a village” to do. The Richmond Auxiliary Thrift Store has tickets for sale. If you want to help sell tickets through a group or organization, you can email Yau at tofu_girl@hotmail. com.

Sign of things to come?

ur two political heavyweights in Richmond — the Tories’ Alice Wong and the Grits’ Joe Peschisolido — have not wasted any time in having a go at each other. The 2011 federal election campaign was but three days old when Wong, fresh from being denied permission to plant campaign signs on the now city-owned Garden City lands, called the city to kindly inform that her rival had done just that. After explaining that it was over-zealous and naiive campaigners that stuck the signs up without asking, Peschisolido didn’t pull any punches either when it came to pointing out that Wong has not lived up to a promise to facilitate the building of an urban park on the aforementioned Garden City lands, which cost the Richmond taxpayers almost $60 million. The signs have been duly removed, while generating some precious publicity for both parties in the early stages of the race. That might not be a bad thing, considering recent poor voter turn-outs in civic, provincial and federal elections. However, now that the two main protagonists have burst from the starting stalls and jockeyed for position, we would be happy to see them during the race to go to war on the issues that really concern Richmondites. When the opportunities arise over the next month or so, let’s hope, for instance, that we’re talking about the proposal to run a 15 kilometre aviation fuel pipeline through the centre of the city and where each of the candidates stand on the issue. Let’s hope we’re talking about issues that affect our everyday lives. Where the warring parties park their campaign signs is not one of them.

Farewell, and thanks, John

Dear John, After 18 years in office in Ottawa it is understandable that you feel that you have been there and done that — because you have. You have been there, for the people. And you have done that, and so much more. I am certain that you will be sorely missed by many. I have known you for quite a long time and I have always admired and respected you. You are carved of a certain wood that they don’t make anymore. You mean what you say and you say what you mean, and there is no two ways about it. You always have stayed true to yourself and you always will. All the people around you, as well as I, understood that; it did not matter what stripe we were. And so, dear John Cummins, as a citizen of Richmond and of Canada I would like to thank you so much for your long years of dedication, for your common sense, for your outspoken ways that could not be misunderstood, for your tireless fight for the Pacific salmon. Thank you for being an upstanding man. I wish you well in your future endeavours. Most of all, enjoy the world, and live your dream. You have certainly earned it. Erika Simm Richmond

Take a look, it’s finally spring Spring must be coming. I wake to the sound of bird song. I come home from work to the buzz of chainsaws. The two reliable signs of spring are the return of the birds and the sound of people clearing the wreckage left by winter storms. I’m home from work by 6 p.m., and it’s still light out. More than that, it will be light for another hour and a half. I scramble through the house, tugging clothes off hangers, changing into a bright red cycling jersey. I haul the old reliable bike out of the shed. Turning the pedals by hand, the chain complains. It’s still bare of oil, the gears gritty after a wet ride and a half-hearted cleaning earlier in the week. I patiently measure out oil, a drop on each link, until it spins with a smooth whir rather than an agonized grinding sound. Do I wear the insulated gloves? I stick my head outside. The threatening grey clouds are retreating to the north. The sun is out. It actually feels warm. The insulated gloves get tossed on the chair by the door, left behind for the first time this year. I ride out of the driveway, picking up speed slowly. I’m racing against the approach of nightfall, but burning muscles and mindless effort are no way to enjoy a ride. My route takes me first

Matthew Claxton PAINFUL TRUTH

through suburban streets. Stop lights, stop signs, speed humps and school zones. Drivers are coming home from work everywhere, and the hum of traffic from the big through roads is an ever present background noise. I take the first hill, a gentle grade past well-kept homes. A few green buds are emerging on shrubs. The dark limbs of the cherry trees are still bare, but their bright blossoms are implicitly promised on a warm evening like this. Soon, the trees will wear garlands of pink and white and red. I head south under the high tension wires, the hiss of my tires on pavement drowning out the everpresent electric hum. Farther south, the closehuddled homes give way to parks, and the first farms. Another hill, steeper this time, then it’s down through the flats, past cranberry bogs, across the last busy road, with its heavy, rattling dump trucks and rushed commuters. This is the quiet place, where cars are few, where the measured cadence of a horse’s hooves sounds more natural than the growl of an engine. East, into the wind,

and the first regrets about leaving the heavy gloves at home make themselves felt. But the road is flat and open, and I can warm myself by riding faster. I pass beaver ponds and low ranchers, horses, cattle, and llamas chewing in their fields. I loop around as I note that the sun has almost dipped below the hills to the west. Time to turn for home. I startle a herd of six deer. There’s not a car for miles, I can hear the clatter of their hooves, the quiet snort of breath as the first three sprint past. They head across the road, across the border and into the marshy woods, tails raised in alarm. Three more stay in the field to the north, eyeing me warily, not sure if they want to join their kin. One last hill lures me in. The big one, a hill that will make my legs ache. It’s too much of a challenge to resist. The downhill afterward, wheels whirring through curving switchbacks, is a worthwhile reward. Night takes possession of the sky’s arc. The last orange glow of the sun is replaced by purples and navy blues, and the white light of the waxing moon. Frogs are singing. The night is cool, but it doesn’t bite with winter’s teeth. Spring is here. Matthew Claxton is a reporter with News’s sister paper, The Langley Advance.

Letters The Editor Re: “Wage hike a concern,” News, March 23. I am appalled that our MLA John Yap is so out of touch with our community after reading his comments on poverty in last week’s paper. “Richmond is a blessed community and is affluent in many areas. I’ve heard about the theory that there’s a disproportionate number of low-income families in Richmond, but I’m not sure that’s entirely the case.” I would like to suggest Mr. Yap tour some of our lowest income schools or go to www.richmondchildrenfirst.ca for the truth. The facts are, Richmond finished third in the province with 26 per cent of our children living in poverty. We have 11.8 per cent of families earning less than $20,000 a year, but those are just numbers. You need to visit the really hard-hit schools to see the real picture. Richmond’s school staff and teachers do an outstanding job of helping the worst-hit families by trying to ensure all the children can participate in events even when there is no money to cover the fees. I have seen kids offered free clothes at school donated

by generous businesses. We have had groups come to the school board meetings to donate money for breakfast programs and heard the heart-wrenching stories of poverty. This is real and as our elected official, it is your responsibility to either prove the statistics wrong or learn the truth. I can tell you that as a school trustee it has been hard to hear the sad stories of Richmond’s poor, but it has helped me to make wise decisions that are mindful of the reality of the hidden poor here in Richmond. As a neighbour, I often put my unwanted household items on the curb and you would be astonished at how quickly they get snapped up! I have donated larger items to www.richmondshares.bc.ca and they have connected me with needy families who need a new TV, for example. The first step in solving a problem is to recognize it exists. Mr. Yap, please try a little harder to learn the truth because if you do then you can help by advocating for Richmond’s poor instead of ignoring them. Carol Day Richmond school board trustee

There is no enlightened, concerned leadership in this new ghost town either, or else the bylaws which govern town planning and development would have foreseen this outcome and been concerned enough about the quality of life for its citizens to guard against it. At the rate we are going, with an increasing number of “For Sale” signs being posted and dump trucks plying their trade along residential streets, I can see a future where my neighbourhood finally becomes the new form of “ghost town” — where human voices or activities are rarely, if ever, heard or seen and long rows of blacked-out uninhabited edifices line treeless streets and do nothing to brighten our nights. Congratulations Richmond. We have created a future devoid of culture and soul for ourselves! Ray Arnold Richmond

DEVELOPMENT

The Editor, Congratulations to the citizens and City Council of Richmond. You are helping to redefine the term “ghost town” by allowing the proliferation of the monster houses that are beginning to dominate our streets and effectively destroy our long-held notions of what neighbourhoods should be. As I walk around our area and pass the ever-increasing number of large, shoddilyconstructed, pseudo classical mini-mansions that remain empty, dark and totally devoid of human activity or involvement, I can only grieve at the passing of a way of life. An experience where the yards and streets were filled with humans interacting with each other, with children playing games and developing long-term friendships, with people tending gardens and generally demonstrating distinct pride of ownership in their homes and, more than anything else, people knowing, caring and looking out for each other. There are no neighbours in the new ghost town, only offshore investors totally unconcerned about the effects their invest-

At the stationary stores you can buy “do your own” Wills, Separations, Divorce, etc. Should Q these be notarized?

“Do your own” or self-council type documents, in most cases, require that the signature of the person executing the document is “witnessed”. For example, with the divorce documents, a notary public, acting in the capacity of a Commissioner of Oaths, could witness your signature on the required affidavits for Divorce. A Power of Attorney document requires that your (the Donor’s) signature be witnessed by a notary public, solicitor, or other person authorized by the Evidence Act to take affidavits for use in British Columbia, be witness to your signature. On the other hand, Wills do not have to be witnessed by a notary public or solicitor, but it is very important to the validity of the Will that it be executed and witnessed in the proper manner, and, by people eligible to act as witnesses. For example, a beneficiary or spouse of a beneficiary may not be a witness.

Do you qualify for Property

Q Tax Deferment?

The BC Government helps property owners who are unable to pay annual property taxes and are at risk of losing their homes. All homeowners must be Canadian Citizens or permanent residents, lived in BC for 1 year and occupy their home as a principal resident and maintain fire insurance on their home. See if you qualify for one of these 3 low-interest tax deferment assistant programs: 1) For Seniors - owners 55+, a surviving spouse or a person with a disability who are Canadian Citizens and permanent residents may qualify if they maintain a minimum equity of 25% of the current assessed value, 2) Financial Hardship - low income property owners with at least 15% equity in their home, 3) Families with Children - qualifying home owners financially supporting a dependent child under age 18, who have at least 15% equity in their home. NOTE: A home owner considering a tax deferment program should get financial advice. These programs are administered by the Ministry of Finance. Tax deferment applications are available at your local government office. For more information, visit: www.sbr.gov.bc.ca/ individuals/property_taxes/property_tax_deferment/ptd.html

I’ve been going to the gym for years but I’ve noticed that lately I’m experiencing more and more pain in my shoulders. I don’t want to stop lifting weights, what should I do? Injuries can be frustrating, but there definitely ways to work around them if not alleviate them completely. Shoulder pain from weight training can be attributed to a number of things including lifting heavy weights too frequently and not allowing the joint to properly recover, poor postural alignment making the shoulder more vulnerable to injury, and poor exercise selection and/or technique. In any case, you should incorporate more exercises for your upper back and postural muscles to pull your shoulder girdle into a more neutral position. Secondly, avoid using heavy weight for overhead movements like shoulder presses and using a narrow grip for exercises like chin-ups and bench press to take stress off the shoulder joint. Lastly, make sure you are properly warmed up prior to your weight training session and stretch accordingly when you are finished.

What do you think of fasting and cleansing?

The nature of spring is one of cleansing and rejuvenation. Fasting quickens the cleansing. Strict, prolonged fasts with fruit juices or water can severely impair the spleen-pancres digestive fire and weaken the body. This can result in abnormal weight gain after the fast. Slower, milder fasts with selected whole foods can be successfully done with under eating generally. Use young plants, fresh greens, sprouts, and cereal grasses. Pungent herbs such as basil, fennel, marjoram and ginger in lightly steamed or sauteed dishes are effective. People with deficiency conditions should avoid fasting. They do some mild cleansing with caution, preferably in conjuction with their health care provider.

Q A

What is Co-Insurance ??

This is a penalty clause contained in most policies that can be enforced in the event of a partial loss. Most polices require property to be insured at a specified percentage of its full value usually 80%, 90%. If at the time of a loss it is determined that the insured limit did not meet this test of 80 or 90%. The process is calculated by dividing the actual insured amount by the required amount. Example: A building valued at $ 100,000 has a 90% coinsurance clause and is insured for $45,000. It suffers a $20,000 loss. The insured would recover $45,000 ÷ (.90 X 100,000) X 20,000 = $10,000 (less any deductible). In the event of a total loss the full amount of the policy would be paid out, in this case $ 45,000.

Q A

What adjustments could I expect when I have new full dentures made?

Generally if the bite is correct, the vertical height of your dentures are correct, then adjustments should be of a muscular nature only. Adjustments can be expected on the lower denture inside by the back of your tongue. This is where muscles attach to your jaw bone. These muscles extend to your throat and to your tongue. They are part of your swallowing process. At first when dentures are placed, they may feel fine, but they do settle into your tissues, the same way that a ring impresses into the tissue of your finger. A sharp pain and or a pinching feeling may become evident in as little as two to three days. Regarding full upper dentures, they may become sore at the front of the denture in the frenum notch (the small piece of skin that holds your lips to your gums) or at the incisal papilla (the small bump of tissue that sits between your two front teeth). Both type of adjustments are considered normal setting adjustments and only take a matter of minutes to remedy.

SHOW

Shirley MacLaine talks of life, love and Hollywood Legendary actress and author will be bringing her unapologetic free spirit to River Rock Casino Resort

alfway through the interview, Academy award winning actress Shirley MacLaine excuses herself to take a call. As soon as MacLaine gets back on the phone, she apologizes. It seems actress Debbie Reynolds found the peachcoloured dress MacLaine wore in 1984 when she won the Oscar for Best Actress for her stunning performance in Terms of Endearment. As the legendary MacLaine laughs, she says: “Debbie thought she lost my dress, which I donated to her charity, and she called to say she found it … I hope it isn’t a crumpled mess.” The unflappable, witty, engaging and outspoken actress/dancer/author/producer/activist is coming to Richmond for An Evening with Shirley MacLaine this Saturday at the River Rock Casino Resort. Her resume is lengthy, her accomplishments many and at 76 (she turns 77 on April 24), she is still very active and busy. Adding to her already packed schedule, MacLaine is about to launch her latest book, I’m All Over That. She will hit the book signing circuit in mid-April and will appear on Oprah on April 11 to formally launch the book. “I will never retire,” she said with conviction. “My work doesn’t feel like work so I don’t know what taking a vacation is.” During her performance at the casino, MacLaine will discuss her incredible career, one which includes more than 50 feature films, an Oscar win and six nominations, six Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award and being an internationally acclaimed best-selling author. As much as she is renowned as a legendary actress and author, the unapologetic free spirit is also known for her outspoken views on reincarnation, angels, the power of crystals and New Age beliefs. With candour, MacLaine says: “On my birth certificate, it says I was born a Baptist but I didn’t grow up with religion. My mind was free to explore my spirituality. “My brother (actor Warren Beatty) and I were able to make up our own minds about religion and I thank my mother for that,” she said. “Since I was a kid, I’ve been a mystic … the first thing I asked for at 10

was a telescope. “I always knew we weren’t alone in the universe and as I travelled, I got very interested in reincarnation.” Talking from her ranch in New Mexico, where MacLaine said she lives with her beloved dog, Terry, and a menagerie of elk, deer and coyote, MacLaine is funny and surprisingly relaxed and open to talking about anything … except for some of the men she’s been romantically linked to. However, during her appearances she is sometimes asked about her deceased husband, Steve Parker, who was her partner of 30 years. In an interview with The Globe and Mail published on Oct. 14, 2008, she was quoted as saying: “I lived with many other men ... Men always wanted to get mar-

ried, in my experience. So I stayed married to Steve so that I wouldn’t marry them. I didn’t like the idea of marriage. I find it too compromising, too confining.” During her show at the River Rock, the legendary MacLaine will talk about her good friend, Elizabeth Taylor and other Hollywood stars, her films, as well as what bugs her and what she loves. “The best part about making movies is the make-up trailer,” she quips. MacLaine will also show a montage of her most memorable film moments on a large screen. She has starred opposite such luminaries as Jack Lemmon, Jack Nicholson and, most recently “my favourite Jack,” Jack Black, in a film noir titled Bernie, which comes out this summer. Of Elizabeth Taylor, MacLaine said:

“Liz and I met on the set of Around the World in 80 Days (1956), she was 24 and I was 22 and we hit it off. I introduced her to Mike Todd (Taylor’s third husband).” MacLaine went on to say: “When Liz and I were young, those were the glory days of Hollywood, when movies were about characters, stories, acting and scripts … movies that didn’t include actors doing drugs openly and actors being maniacal.” She added that whenever she meets with great world leaders and spiritual leaders, they always ask her about Hollywood. “Everyone is curious about Hollywood, I’m not quite sure why,” she muses. However, MacLaine never hesitates when asked about her all-time favourite screen role — Aurora in Terms of Endearment (1983). “I loved Aurora’s humour, her sense of entitlement, her goodness of heart and outrageous and campy personality,” says MacLaine. “She cared so much about people … I just loved what the producer let me do with this character.” The legend credits ballet for keeping her grounded in an industry known for egotistical stars. “I’ve been a disciplined dancer from the age of three and not only does it keep you in shape, you can’t pull any diva trips,” MacLaine says. “Now, I’m too old to dance anymore and I really have no interest but I hike with Terry (her dog) everyday.” She freely admits to having a facelift at 50 but says: “What the hell are women at 25 getting a facelift for?” About aging, MacLaine offers up this simple piece of advice: “Enjoy the aging process … it’s a wonderful time in life to be eccentric and really not care what people think of you.” This seemingly unafraid dynamo has only one fear she’ll admit to: “Lightning.” “It is so sharp and unexpected and can kill you … on the other hand, some of my friends who have survived being hit by lightning say they saw the light and saw their purpose in life.” MacLaine encourages audience questions and doesn’t remember ever being offended by any question. “If there’s a question I don’t want to answer, I conveniently forget,” she says. Catch Shirley MacLaine at the River Rock Casino Resort on Saturday at 8 p.m. Tickets are available by calling Ticketmaster at 604-280-4444 or online at www.ticketmaster.ca.

Continued from page 3 the riding. However, Findlay herself was declared bankruptcy in 2001, in part over her extended court fight with the federal government and the Musqueam Indian Band over lease payments non-native residents of Musqueam Park were being charged. That case wound its way all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. Menno Froese, one of two B.C. representatives on the Conservatives’ National Council, said the selection committee spent a day questioning Findlay and examining her bankruptcy documents before deciding to appoint her as the new candidate. He said Findlay had already started to build her election team and that he believes “she will make a great MP.”

He said Findlay explained that her bankruptcy was in part because of the costs of waging the court fight, several deaths in the family, and “someone left her a lot of debt.” Findlay said the bankruptcy helped her become a better person. “I think life experience made me a better lawyer and it will make me a better Member of Parliament. Everyone goes through difficulties in life and I think it makes a big difference and adds to the quality that you can bring to representing others that you have gone through those experiences yourself and learned and grown from them.” Findlay ran unsuccessfully for the Alliance in Vancouver Quadra in 2001. That year she was also named by the YWCA as one of its “Women of Distinction” for

her contributions to women in law. Findlay said she holds “no animosity” towards Saip but believes her personal financial circumstances were different from his. “We are all unique and we all have unique circumstances, and mine was that I was living in a particular place and time where there was intense litigation and difficult neighbourhood conflicts and I was out front-and-centre trying to deal with them.” Asked if the Conservatives were setting a double standard if they weren’t willing to accept Saip’s financial problems but thought Findlay’s were fine, Froese said “you’re making an assumption.” He wouldn’t say how party officials reconciled the differences between the two candidates’ financial problems.

GROW YOUNG, HAVE FUN OWN A SPORTS CAR

Thirst for beauty, speed part of sports cars evolution PHOTO SUBMITTED

BYJOHN DAVISON

The modern sports car has evolved from a small number of manufacturers who were constantly eager to outperform each other, packing as much power into a tiny frame as possible. This often led to a disregard for safety for drivers but eventually the competition paved the way for affordable and more accessible cars.

Special to the News

What defines the term sports car and why are we so fascinated with them. Is it simply the flowing curves of the body design, the massive power output of the high revving engines or could it even be the distinctive throaty musical note of the exhaust pipes. Everyone will have a different opinion on what they think makes sports cars special and for the reasons why we love them so much. Even people who say they are impractical or unnecessary cannot help but to turn and look when one drives past displaying its beautiful contours hinting at the power hidden under the perfectly painted panels. Since the development of motorized vehicles, a small select group of individuals have always had the undying fascination of designing and building them bigger, more powerful and faster than they either needed to be or really see Races page 16

This was no different with the motor car industry, from its relative simple and sluggish beginnings, the car quickly developed into a very useful mode of transport and working tool. For some, this new way to transport us around turned into an obsession of power and speed and welcomed the age of the racing cars and sports cars.

Sports Cars

Engines: Pushed to limits to get highest speed these machines began to push the designs and needs to new levels this quite often was at the expense of someone’s life. Big powerful engines were placed into fragile frames and pushed to the limit often with dire consequences to drivers and spectators. But humans have a need to go faster and this drove these brave, and quite often reckless, early pioneers to design better and more powerful machines. This began the start of the new age of the modern motor car. Safety was usually an afterthought if it came up at all, the main focus was pushing the machines and drivers to their limits and beyond. The engine’s power output quickly outgrew the motor cars ability to handle these increases and the designers had to rethink the chassis and

suspensions limitations. As with in the aircraft industry, the designs of planes and engines regularly changed along with the abilities and reliability of the aircraft. The motor cars began to evolve along the same lines with new ideas and breakthroughs in technologies incorporating aerodynamics to help reduce drag and stronger building materials for chassis and bodywork. Developing test vehicles purely for racing was the beginning of what we now class as the sports car. After the Second World War a new breed of sports car began to emerge. The once very highpriced and hard to obtain race bred cars, that only the most wealthy and enthusiastic owners could secure, began to evolve into a more accessible vehicle with the additional comforts and road

functionalities. A more affordable price tag was making them more accessible to the average owner and driver. Sports cars took their first steps from the exclusive domain to main stream availability. Over the next few years designs began their slow transformation into the popular modern shapes of today’s models. Many famous names have added their own distinctions to the sports car moulds and most can be easily identified by pure shape alone even today.

Community RELATIONSHIPS

Friends will help you shine when life gets tough The dark and dull areas of my life enhance the parts that sparkle. In the past, my natural reaction to my greatest failures, lousy luck and rude people was to be miserable myself. I might give up, withdraw or react with anger myself. But somewhere along the way to growing up and

DR. DAVIDICUS WONG HEALTHWISE

growing older, I’ve gained a little perspective. It is the contrasts in life

that give the greatest joys. In each of our lives, there are people who make a big difference in the many lives they touch. They shine and sparkle like diamonds in the crowd. They do their best to make a positive difference where they can — with a cheerful smile, an encouraging word and just the way that they do more

than what is expected of them. They are the few who happily give more than they get. What they give is happiness. Now, if everyone sparkled that way, the world would be unimaginably brighter, but we might not appreciate each of those special people quite the same.

Book and Lyrics by

Marty Chan Lyrics, Music and Orchestration by

Robert Walsh Performed in English with Chinese surtitles

Chinese mythology’s most beloved super hero stars in an action-packed musical adventure. Cheer on our intrepid explorer as he travels to a new world, rescues a damsel in distress, and battles an “Iron Dragon.” Bring the kids!

I’ve actually become grateful for people who are really rude because it’s made me appreciate others who make a positive difference in my life. It has almost reached the point that if someone cuts me off in traffic or honks for no good reason, I smile inwardly and say, “Thank you” to myself. Instead of the more customary hand signals, I’ve been tempted to give angry drivers a thumbs up in appreciation, but I’ve held back, realizing that my happiness was not their original intent and not wanting to add fuel to their fury. The grumpy and indifferent people in the world help me appreciate the sparklers in my life — my friends. I could be totally healthy, physically fit, wealthy and successful, but if I didn’t have my friends, I would not be happy. My friends have helped me through the darkest times in my life — with illness and accidents, failures and breakups, tragedy and grief. No matter what life presents, my friends bring me hope and happiness. Do you define friends as the people you like to hang out with? Your drinking buddies? Your shopping pals? Your partners in crime? Are friends the people you small talk with?

Are they just people that are fun to have around? Sometimes we have friends who justify our bad behaviour and bad habits. In their company, we may drink more and abuse our bodies more. In fact they are like alcohol and recreational drugs, we associate them with good times while they really bring us down. These are our travelling companions on the road to self-destruction. You can recognize your true friends because you’re better together than you would be apart. Real friends bring out the best in one another. We help each other achieve our potentials. We can do more together than we could alone. My best friends know the real me. They sometimes see me better than I see myself. They recognize the best in me, remind me of my dreams and push me to be my best. They recognize the worst in me, call me on it but love me nonetheless. My best friends tell me the truth — even if I don’t want to hear it — because I need to know. Happiness is being in the presence of a friend.

GARDENING

Spring is here! Our past warm weather weekend, which had the neighbours on our street out of hibernation and in the yard, means one thing ... it’s time to plant our seeds! Many of us have already started our tomato seeds — ours are just over an inch high, while our friend Joe’s are a stalky six inches! No matter — start them in the next week or so and they’ll be fine. They like a warm place to germinate, so try the top of the hot water tank, perhaps the refrigerator top, or a nice sunny window. Plant the seed in any plastic container you like — it doesn’t have to have drainage holes because you’re not going to overwater it. You can use the plastic clam shell packages you may have bought tomatoes or strawberries in. With the lid down it creates a mini-greenhouse. If the clam shell has a perforated bottom, then line it with a bit of plastic or several layers of newspaper.

Deb Brodie GARDEN RAMBLINGS

Sterilized soil is a good choice, and lightly cover the seeds — about a 1/4 of an inch is fine. Keep them moist, but don’t drown them. In about eight to 10 days the miracle of germination occurs and they pop out of the soil. Carefully transplant them individually when they are about two inches high into their own containers, putting them up to their necks in soil. If you want to reuse some of those plastic garden pots you have about, then wash them well in hot soapy water with a drop or two of bleach. When the second set of leaves have appeared, it’s time to start fertilizing. I give you the example of tomatoes, as they are easy to grow from seed and if you have tasted toma-

toes fresh from your own garden, you will quickly know why they are the most popular vegetable planted. You can start many of your flowers the same way, paying attention to the instructions on the seed package itself, indicating how deep to plant the seed — the bigger the seed the deeper it goes in the soil. Lobelia seed, for example, is miniscule and you sprinkle it on top of your soil and barely cover it at all, while you plant beans down an inch or two. It isn’t too early to plant peas in the garden, and that includes your sweet peas. While you’re out doing your walkabouts, check for weeds. They are an easy pull at this time and have a ways to go before seeding. Pull them now and save the headaches later on! Deb Brodie is a local gardener and member of the Richmond Garden Club.

Next stop provincial capital for RC Palmer basketball standout

B.C. tournament MVP commits to UVic program for next fall The provincial capital will be the next stop for the newly crowned MVP of B.C. high school boys basketball. Fresh off leading the RC Palmer Griffins to their firstever provincial title, guard Vijay Dhillon has committed to the University of Victoria Vikings for the 2011-12 CIS season. The 6-foot senior led his team in scoring in all four tournament games, including 26 points in the final as the Griffins defeated Vancouver College 71-63. The three-year starter made an immediate impact in Grade 10, helping Palmer finish fifth at the “AAA” tourney. A year later, he was a second team all-star as the Griffins were runners-up at the “AA” provincials in Kamloops. Dhillon wanted to remain close to home for his post-secondary education and felt that UVic offered the best both academically, geographically and athletically.

“I wanted to leave but not be too far from home, that’s why UVic was high on my list,” Dhillon said. “It’s a good program, a nice city and good weather that I’m used to. I have a great chance to play, it just sounds like the right fit.” Vikes men’s basketball head coach Craig Beaucamp said Dhillon is going to be a good fit for the program. “Vijay brings a variety of skills to our team. He can shoot it, pass it and dribble it. His games transfers very well to the FIBA game,” Beaucamp said. “He has a high basketball IQ and is a true combo guard who can play both the point and two-guard positions. He brings speed and quickness to us on both sides of the ball.” Dhillon transfered to Palmer from Burnett secondary after his Grade 9 year where he made an immediate impression on longtime coach Paul Eberhardt.

“He is one of the most dedicated and hardest working players I have ever coached,” Eberhardt said. “His commitment to his physical fitness is most impressive and he has tremendous explosiveness both on offence and defence, as well as exploding vertically when he jumps.” “He is a very strong rebounding guard. He is also an exceptional defensive player as he rarely gets beat and he understands how to rotate and help his teammates. In the four tournaments we have played this year, Vijay was an all-star each time , as well as the winner of a CIS scholarship in the HSBC tournament.” “He has the potential to immediately have an impact at the post secondary level and he is a very strong student with an A plus average.” CHUNG CHOW/RICHMOND NEWS Dhillon was also a fixture in RC Palmer standout Vijay Dhillon will be continue his basketball the provincial team summer procareer next fall at the University of Victoria. gram for the past three years.

The Richmond Roadrunners U12 field lacrosse team wrapped up a tremendous season with a silver medal finish at last month’s Provincial Tier II Championships in Burnaby. The runner-up showing left the Roadrunners with a 142 overall record, that included a second place finish in the Pacific Coast League. Richmond opened play at the provincials by going 2-1 in round-robin play, with wins over Port Coquitlam and Mid Island, as well as a close loss to Kelowna. The record was good enough for first place in its grouping, setting up a gold medal showdown against the powerful Valley team. Unfortunately, a snowstorm postponed the remainder of the championships. The tournament committee was unable to re-schedule the playoffs due to logistical reasons and, instead, ranked all the teams and awarded provincial placements. The final standings was determined by both the provincial play and the league play. Even though the Roadrunners were very disappointed they couldn’t compete for the gold medal, they should be very proud of their accomplishments. The team featured offensive star Tyler Moxin, who led the way in scoring during league play and the provincials. He was supported by all-round standout Kieran McKay, who dominated in all areas. Speedy Taylor Dudlets rounded out the midfield positions, which were the strength of the team and best in the league. In the back end, goaltender Cameron Overby directed a fierce group of defenders which included Dorrin SekikawaLuding, Justin Preston, Callum MacBeth and Sebastian Wong. On the offensive end, the bulk of the scoring was done by Kyle Ahlfield, Ryan Jensen, Jordan Roberts, Brock Jung, and U10 call up Hunter Van Hest. First-time players Kaelan Baker and Brett Clark picked up the skills very quickly, and immediately made a positive impact on the team.

Bulldogs add another tourney win

stelladot.com/gracel

The dream season continues for the William Bridge Bulldogs girls grade 7 basketball team. The Bulldogs extended their win streak to 15 games by capturing the McNair Classic on March 10. The result comes on the heels of a tournament triumph at McRoberts. The Bulldogs’ fast paced offence was in full gear from the outset as they dispensed the opposition in their three round-robin games by an aggregate score of 119-19. The Walter Lee Lions also swept their roundrobin games, setting up a unbeaten showdown championship game. Despite a very determined effort by the Lions in the final, the Bulldogs built a 10point lead by halftime.

As the game progressed, the Lions had no answer for the Bulldogs’ well-balanced offence, impenetrable defence, and the wizardry of standout point guard Tia Tsang. She was a dominant force whenever she was on the court. Raisy Morales capped the Bulldogs’ scoring in the dying minutes with a long Hail Mary three-point shot that found nothing but mesh and put an emphatic exclamation mark on Bridge’s convincing 34-11 win. Tsang was selected as the tournament MVP for the second time in as many weeks. Teammate Sabrina Lin was named a tournament all star. Over the past two seasons, coach Emmanuel Adjei-Achampong has been guided the Bulldogs to a 26-1 record.
