The Vikings are coming, or at least their ship is Longboat replica will sail in for Ships To Shore BY ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

If you see a Viking ship dressed in full battle colours sailing into Steveston next week, there’s no need to batten down the hatches. It’s all part of the side show to the Ships To Shore Steveston 2011 festival, which sails into town Friday, June 3. On Wednesday, June 1 — two days before the main event kicks off — a replica of a Viking longboat will sail up the Fraser River, before docking for six days at the Britannia Heritage Shipyard. But it didn’t come all of the way from Scandinavia, it will be sailing into Steveston, instead, around 5 p.m. from its Vancouver base, just up the coast. And next week, the public will be able to see the 40-foot half-scale boat, called The Munin, up close with free tours available. “How often will you see a real Viking ship sail up the Fraser to Steveston?” asked Dorrit Ilott, of the boat’s owner, the Norwegian Society, a non-profit organization, which uses the ship to promote Scandinavian heritage and “Canadian ingenuity.”

“While it’s not a Tall Ship, as Munin has only one mast and a big red and white sail, she is an unusual and lovely historical replica. “As far as we know, we are the only Viking ship replica in Canada which gives tours to the public.” The Munin was built in Burnaby at the Scandinavian Community Center ten years ago as a project to celebrate the arrival of Vikings in Newfoundland. She is currently moored at the Vancouver Maritime Museum’s Heritage Harbour and is available for short sails in English Bay. While not part of the core Ships to Shore festival program at Garry Point, it’s hoped that the boat will attract a decent crowd to Britannia, where there will be many other maritime-related exhibits. “If there is a large amount of people heading to Richmond and Steveston to see the Tall Ships, as there was last time, it might be a good idea to have another interesting maritime historical site in Richmond to point people towards,” Ilott, a Richmond resident, said of the society’s decision to bring The Munin to Britannia. see Donations page 4

TRAFFIC

The Scramble piloted in Steveston City hopes design will make busy intersection at No. 1 and Moncton safer BY ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

Win-It CONTEST

RICHMOND BOTTLE DEPOT

A staff report placed before city council this week acknowledged that motorists will be waiting longer at the intersection. But the report stated the $600,000 changes — which also includes a raised intersection to slow down traffic — are necessary to deal with an area that is getting busier all the time. see Scramble page 4

ARTIST RENDERING

Pedestrian scramble will be a pilot project to deal with the pedestrian/motorist confusion in historic village.

By this fall, people in Steveston will be doing the pedestrian scramble. No, it’s not a new dance craze. It’s a European-style signalized crosswalk and it will be introduced as a pilot project to deal with the pedes-

trian/motorist confusion at the busy four-way stop Moncton Street and No. 1 Road intersection. Basically, when it’s their “turn,” pedestrians can cross the intersection in any direction, including diagonal. And when they’re crossing, no vehicles will be allowed to move through the intersection until the pedestrians’ “turn” is over.

HST cut, help for families proposed

What’s OnLine

Rave suspect in court Dennis John Allen Warrington, a 19year-old from Langley – who also has strong ties to Maple Ridge – is charged with producing and distributing child pornography. He appeared in court on May 24, and will appear again one week later, on May 31, for an application for warrant. He is charged in connection to the alleged sexual assault of a teenage girl last September at a rave in Pitt Meadows. The other adult man connected to the rave appeared in court on March 17, and will be back early next year for his trial. Colton Ashton McMorris, 18, of Maple Ridge, is charged with sexual assault. His trial is set to begin in Port Coquitlam on Feb. 27, 2012, and is scheduled for three weeks. • More online at www.mrtimes.com, click on “News”

The local anti-HST group still opposing the sales tax. by Maria Rantanen

mrantanen@mrtimes.com

The harmonized sales tax will be reduced, cheques sent to families and seniors, and the provincial corporate tax rate will go up – if British Columbians vote to keep the HST in the

upcoming referendum, the provincial government announced on Wednesday. All families with children under the age of 18 will receive “transition funding” of $175 per child by the end of this year. Seniors whose income is under $40,000 will also receive $175. This will be one-time transition funding to tide families over till the HST is cut next year. The HST will be reduced to 11 per cent in July 2012, and to 10

per cent in 2014. “This new plan really benefits low-income families,” said Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Marc Dalton. The corporate income tax will rise from 12 per cent from its current 10 per cent to coincide with the federal corporate tax cut of two per cent. Local anti-HST organizer Corisa Bell said her group will still campaign against the tax. “The announcement doesn’t

change anything because we didn’t ask them to lower [the HST], we asked them to cancel it,” Bell said. The government estimates with a 10 per cent HST rate, B.C. families will pay $120 less tax than under the PST, compared to an increase of $350 a year that was estimated by the Independent Panel on the HST.

Hammond school receives money for breakfast Breakfast Television donated $1,000 to Hammond Elementary’s breakfast club. by Maria Rantanen mrantanen@mrtimes.com

A full belly helps kids focus at school and learn better. Hammond Elementary tries to promote healthy bodies, active minds, and happy hearts, said the school’s principal Leslie Langford. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, Langford added, but the school’s breakfast club, which runs five days a week, is about more than just filling

hungry bellies. “It’s more about the culture we build with the kids,” she said. “If you’re having a bad morning, you’re feeling a lot better [after breakfast club].” Hammond Elementary received a cheque on Wednesday morning for $1,000 from Breakfast Television to support their breakfast program as part of the television show’s Be There for Schools program. The school’s parent advisory council applied for the $1,000 grant, and it will be added to the funds already provided by the Ministry of Education program. The PAC also contributed $500. PAC chair Dean Hajum said the program

allows students to concentrate on school and not their empty stomachs. “A good nutritious meal will go a long way,” he said. Getting the extra $1,000 means the school can provide more nutritional food for the children, Langford said. On average, about 20 students show up to have breakfast at the school. “We support families who need help stretching a dollar,” said Tory Flavin, a child care worker at Hammond who runs the program. Flavin said the connections kids make in the breakfast program across grades continues on the playground.

“I can’t say enough about Inner Fit Studios and Rachel Seay. Other gyms and studios were intimidating to me, but Inner Fit is a team atmosphere and my boot camp classmates have becom e supporters of my accomplishments (and me of theirs) just as much as Rach el. Completely unmotivated on my own to exercise, irritated at the thought of going for a walk and frustrated with shopping, I did nothing and then a little more of nothing; the weight just kept piling on. Finally realizing a change was needed, healthier eating habits combined with boot camp classe s at Inner Fit catapulted me to my total 60lbs lost! Not only is my weight down, inche s are down, endurance and strength are up and shopping is fun again! The variety in our classes keeps me from getting bored and frustrated – we never know what to expect apart from a great workout and a few laughs. Everyone has noticed my incredible results from family and friends to my co-workers and my hairdresser! I am so proud of all my hard work, I feel fit for the first time ever and Rachel committed to gettin g me there. Never in a million years did I ever think I would want to exercise, that I would need it, look forward to going and consider it fun... and now, because of Inner Fit and Rachel’s relentless tough love I think all those things! Next goal for me: a half marathon! Who would have thought?!?!?”

BER LIMITED NUM OF SPOTS

Donations: Go to maintenance Continued from page 1 “It would be good publicity for Britannia Shipyards, which has several new exhibits. The exhibits and the parking there are free, which is also a plus.” Donations given for tours of the ship go towards its maintenance. You can find out more about The Munin on the society’s website at www.vikingship.ca. Meanwhile, in just seven days, four of North America’s most popular tall ships will sail into Steveston as part of a four-day maritime festival. The Ships To Shore Steveston 2011 is being billed by the city as a week-

end of “history, adventure and fun.” From June 3 to 7, the four ships — originally scheduled for the cancelled Tall Ships Festival 2011— will dock in Garry Point Park. Mock gun battles, free viewing and shipboard tours, pirate-themed outdoor movie nights, day sails, a community entertainment stage and a farmers market will be the order of the day at Ships To Shore Steveston 2011. Most activities are free. Leading the small fleet are the Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain, from Washington state. The pair is popular whenever they sail, staging mock

gun battles reminiscent of the days of pirates and privateers. The Lady Washington featured in Pirates of the Caribbean, along with other movies. While in Richmond, the Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain will stage two mock gun battles on June 4 and 5, which will be viewable for free from Garry Point Park. Tickets are available through the city’s registration call centre at 604276-4300 or in person at Steveston Community Centre and Britannia Heritage Shipyard in Richmond.

Scramble: First of its kind in B.C. The city’s planners added that the new intersection rules place a higher priority on the pedestrian and, thus, promote more walking around Steveston village, as opposed to driving. Staff will come back to council one year after the crosswalk’s implementation with a report on its effectiveness.

Continued from page 1 The pedestrian scramble concept can be found across the world, but usually in major cities. The scramble will be the first of its kind in B.C. and will be implemented at the end of the summer, after a period of public awareness is carried out by the city about the change.

The suit is being launched on behalf of Patrick Morrissey, husband and father, the couple’s surviving daughter, Claire, four, and Kerry’s parents. A sixth passenger on the flight, Barbara Glenn, 58, of White Rock, who escaped with serious injuries, launched a similar suit last week. Her husband, Thomas Glenn, 60, was killed in the crash. A federal transportation safety board report released March 17 determined that the 1957 Beaver’s “stall warning system” was not functioning as required at the time of the crash and that its aft weight exceeded proper limits.

The family of a woman and infant girl killed in a 2009 seaplane crash off Saturna Island is filing a lawsuit against the pilot and the Richmond-based airline, their lawyer says. Access Law Group said it will file the claim today (Wednesday) seeking damages from Seair Seaplanes Ltd., of Richmond, and pilot Francoise St. Pierre, who escaped with injuries. Dr. Kerry Morrissey, 41, and her sixmonth-old daughter Sarah died Nov. 29, 2009, along with four other passengers when the Beaver floatplane dove into the ocean off Lyall Harbour en route from Saturna to Vancouver.

An internet cafe has been hit with a seven-day suspension for ignoring several warnings about staying open into the wee hours. The DNA Internet Café on No. 3 Road near Alderbridge Way was twice caught by a city licensing officer open long past its 2 a.m. weekend permit. On one occasion, at 2:50 a.m., a city licence inspector arrived at the cafe with RCMP officers to find 20 customers still playing on computers and three members of staff. The inspector’s report noted that the cafe had switched off the outside lights and dimmed the inside ones in an effort to appear closed. After the first two infractions, the manager, Ying Dong Wang, paid the $100 fine. But after the cafe was caught a third time and fined again, city staff recommended council impose a 10-day suspension. The staff report stated that a rival business had complained that DNA frequently flouted the closing times and allowed customers to play on computers in a private

room at the back of the cafe. During his appearance at city hall, Wang, accompanied by the owner, Pan Ling, told council that they have now “realized their errors,” but said that the café would unlikely survive a ten-day suspension and that their employees would suffer financially. However, Mayor Malcolm Brodie pointed out to the delegation that they knew full well what the closing time was, as they had made efforts to make it appear as if the café was closed. Wang claimed that the business owner was not familiar with the rules and felt that she could not let down or deny her customers. He further claimed that Ling now understands the behaviour of the business was wrong, but again asked for a different punishment than suspension. Wang told council that since receiving the third fine, they have adhered to the proper closing times but have lost customers as a result. Council decided that — in light of the cafe adhering to smoking regulations and that its management was willing to rectify the issues — the suspension would stand, but be reduced to seven days. The suspension begins today.

Firefighters conduct more child car seats inspections BY ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

Richmond Fire-Rescue will be focusing on child passenger safety next week, as part of Safe Kids Week. Motor vehicle injuries are the leading cause of injury-related death for Canadian children. In B.C. alone, this translates to an average of 1,300 injuries and three deaths every year. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s widely regarded that when children use car seats, they are well protected and less likely to be severely injured. And this year, the campaign focuses on child passenger safety, highlighting the importance of the proper use of child car seats in motor vehicles. Car crashes kill more children than any other injury. Fortunately, the risk of injury or death can be reduced by up to 74 per cent by putting a child in the appropriate car seat for their stage of physical development. In particular, booster seats provide up to 60 per cent more protection than seatbelts alone. However, it is estimated that approximately 30 per cent of Canadian children

are not properly restrained in their booster seats. Children who skip the booster seat phase and move directly to a seat belt too early in their development are at risk of suffering severe internal injuries during a crash. Firefighters will be volunteering their time all of next week to encourage parents and caregivers to correctly install the appropriate car seat based on a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size. To promote the appropriate use of child car restraints during Safe Kids Week, the Richmond fire department is adding more free car seat inspection dates to their regular schedule at the No. 1 Fire Hall at 6960 Gilbert Rd. Schedule your free inspection today for Monday, May 30, Wednesday, June 1 and Friday June 3 from 7 until 9 p.m. or during the regular scheduled times, which is the second and fourth Tuesday of each month from 3-5 p.m. or 7-9 p.m. Call Richmond Fire-Rescue at 604278-5131 to book your inspection. Created by Safe Kids Canada, Safe Kids Week is the largest annual national child injury prevention awareness campaign in Canada.

Feet belong to Surrey man The person whose feet washed ashore on two separate islands in 2008 has been identified, the BC Coroners Service said Tuesday. The feet were identified by DNA analysis as belonging to a Surrey resident, aged 21, who was reported missing in January 2004. Foul play has been ruled out as autopsies indicated the feet separated from the body through natural processes in the water, the Coroners Service said in a statement. The feet were found on Feb. 8 and June 16, 2008 on Valdez Island and Delta’s Westham Island, respectively, each in matching size 11 Nike running shoes. Next-of-kin have been notified of the identification. “The Coroners Service led the identification process, assisted by the RCMP, Delta Police Department and other municipal departments who forwarded missing persons cases, one of which led to the DNA identification of the feet,” said the statement. Tuesday’s announcement is another step toward solving the mystery of the series of feet washing ashore in B.C. over the past few years. Seven feet belonging to five people were discovered between August 2007 and October 2009. The BC Coroners Service has identified four as belonging to three

The service is working to identify the remaining three, which originate from one male and one female. “To date, no evidence indicates any of the deaths are suspicious,” the statement said. The first foot, discovered in August 2007 on Jedediah Island in the Strait of Georgia northeast of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, was associated with a deceased man whose name police withheld at the request of his family. Two female feet found in Richmond in December 2008 belonged to the same woman. In October 2009, a right foot was discovered on a beach in Richmond. All of the feet discovered so far have been in running shoes. Postmedia News

Bribery covers blunders

sn’t there a law against bribery? Apparently not when it’s a political exercise aimed at covering up blunders. B.C.’s government has announced that the HST will be cut by two per cent, from 12 down to 10, by July 2014… IF B.C. voters agree not to discard the controversial tax in the upcoming mail-in referendum… IF the current government is still in power by the time July 1, 2014, rolls around… And IF the government doesn’t decide it can’t afford to cut its tax base and postpones the reduction until better economic times. Let’s face it, we’re having an HST referendum next month precisely because the folks making the decisions in Victoria can’t be trusted to be honest with us about their intentions. It’s plain our government was less than honest with us about the HST at the outset. Plans to implement the tax were hidden from public view, when they weren’t masked by outright lies. That dishonesty is why Christy Clark is premier of B.C., instead of Gordon Campbell. And that dishonesty is the chief underpinning for opposition to the HST. Knocking two percentage points off the tax is unlikely to take the bad taste out of the mouths of B.C. residents who were forced to eat it in the first place. What happens if the HST is killed? How do we repay the federal government’s $1.6 billion bribe to implement the HST? Unfortunately, the current government’s attempt at bribery will only put up a smokescreen around the issue of whether or not the HST should be abandoned in the June 24 referendum. It will remind voters of the dishonesty that brought us the tax in the first place, instead of helping us focus on the real pros and cons of keeping or discarding the HST. — Langley Advance Editorial

CHOICE WORDS

City council a circus act The Editor, Recently, I received my annual tax bill from the folks at the Taj Mahal (city hall) on No. 3 Road. To say I was shocked, would be an understatement. On the handout stuffed in with the bill, the city brags that the increase in Richmond is “Only 2.95%, one of the lowest in Metro Vancouver!” Whoever penned that piece of fiction, should give up his city job, and take up writing far out novels of derring do and such! My tax increase, for a 50-year-old single family dwelling, came to more than 17 per cent over last year, which itself was higher than the year before. Of course, council expenditures on stuff such as the Big Owe-val, ridiculous “art” objects and the latest hobby horse, the “four ship festival” for more than a million and a half hard-earned bucks, have become the norm for this group! Well, I have a suggestion on how to spend a few bucks! Redecorate the council chambers so that they resemble a circus big top then buy a number of clown outfits, complete with rubber noses and oversize floppy shoes. Remember, we have the civic election coming up this fall. T.R. (Terry) Murphy Richmond

‘Killer’ volcano finally speaks

Stop me if this sounds familiar: a volcano in Iceland is erupting, sending vast plumes of ash into the skies over Europe, disrupting air travel. This time it’s not the confoundingly named Eyjafjallajokull, it’s Grimsvotn. We here at Painful Truth Industries Ltd. decided to get to the bottom of this latest incident, by interviewing the volcano itself. PT: So, Grimsvotn, your most recent eruption began on Saturday, and you’ve been busily pumping out an ash cloud for several days now. Any plans to quit any time soon? GV: I really don’t have any plans that are (if you’ll forgive the pun) set in stone. No, I just like to keep things loose. Go with the pyroclastic flow, that’s what I say. PT: So you have no idea how long air travel will be disrupted? GV: You know, I’m glad you brought that up. Everyone’s been getting on my case lately about that. Do I make the prevailing winds? No. Do I have any say in how you little carbon blobs travel around, in your little tin tubes with wings? Take it up with Boeing and Bombardier if your flying machines can’t take a little bit of grit in their turbines. PT: So you aren’t at fault, is that what you’re saying?

Matthew Claxton PAINFUL TRUTH

GV: No! I’m a volcano, it’s in my nature to erupt! Frankly, I’m tired of all this mammal whining from you humans. You know, I have a friend who’s gone through something very similar recently… PT: Eyjafjallajokull? GV: Yeah, Eyja. We’ve had a long talk about this. I don’t think he’d mind me telling you, he was deeply depressed after his eruption last year. It took him a while to get over it. PT: Was he upset about all the financial problems he caused, or the criticism he received? GV: Neither. He was upset that he couldn’t keep it up longer. We’re getting old, man. I mean, it wasn’t that long ago that I erupted for three years! Me and my buddies wiped out 20 per cent of the population here in Iceland in the 1780s. We killed people as far away as England! That’s major league. That’s Krakatoastyle erupting. PT: I see… So you don’t think you’ll be able to do something on that scale again? GV: I don’t know. It seems to get harder every year, you know? I mean, my forefathers are all part

of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. They shaped the world, pushed Europe and North America apart, then South America and Europe. Without them, there’d be no Atlantic Ocean, and you’d be able to drive from Newfoundland to Dublin. Heck, if we hadn’t pushed things apart just enough, that big comet might have hit a mountain instead of slamming into the ocean 65 million years ago, and the dinos might have survived. Really, you puny mammals might just owe your very existence to my continent-splitting ancestors. PT: So once the current eruption is over, what is next for you and the MidAtlantic Ridge? GV: Well, I was thinking that Eyja and I might try to collaborate, you know, a kind of duet in flying molten glass. PT: I’ll warn the FAA. GV: Yeah, and then after that, something really big. I’m talking to a lot of volcanoes, not just my Mid-Atlantic bros. Mt. Etna, if you read this, give me a buzz, okay? Anyway, we were thinking of erupting all at once, lots of glowy orange lava, so we can spell something visible from space. PT: Spell what? GV: Either “Zeppelin Rulez!” or “LOL.” We’re still working on the details. Matthew Claxton is a reporter for the Langley Advance

Letters We need our 2-week break The Editor, Re: “Two-week break approved,” News, May 18. Stress. The perfect word to describe Grade 12: Preparing for provincial exams, meeting application deadlines for post-secondary schools, managing time, working part time, studying for tests and completing school projects. Free time? What free

time? Friends? What friends? Family? The ones that I sometimes see at dinner? As a Grade 12 full time high school student, I am thrilled to hear that the two week spring break is here again next year. As many Grade 12 students would agree, Grade 12 is suppose to be a fun and memorable year.

However, due to the many deadlines, school work, and preparation that comes with the Grade 12 package, students end up lacking sleep, free time and family time. It is only during our breaks that we can actually have some time to catch up with friends, family, and sleep. Anson Tsang Richmond

Longer spring break fosters bad habits The Editor, Re: “Two-week break passed,” News, May 18. I heartily agree with school trustee Linda McPhail when she said we need to look at the school calendar on the whole, and make it more balanced. In order to help avoid a deficit, the Vancouver Board of Education increased its school day by 16 minutes and school closures by 10 days. As a teacher, I quite like the extra days off. However,

my students learn little to nothing in the added time, and they learn nothing during the 10 days. I know what they are doing; gaming/social media until all hours and sleeping in to avoid boredom. They are eating junk food and soft drinks that will harm them. How can we justify dumbing down our kids this way? After reading an article by Murray Dobbin about a book entitled The Spirit Level by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, the future looks

bleak indeed for my students. The article referenced that: “A 2005 Statscan study revealed that median earnings of full-time employees in Canada were completely flat from 1980 to 2005. In that 25-year period, the income of the richest fifth grew 16.4 per cent, while the poorest fifth saw their real earnings decline by 20.6 per cent.” Not only will my students likely be poor, they won’t understand why.

Steveston the spot if you have a sweet tooth BY MICHELLE HOPKINS

mhopkins@richmond-news.com

It’s well known that Steveston boasts a thriving java culture. But the historic village is also becoming a Mecca for those with a sweet tooth. Within a few blocks, you can enjoy a culinary adventure filled with everything sinfully delicious. In the last few years, and even few months, a number of merchants have opened boutiques and shops with a sole focus of tempting your sweet tooth. One of the veterans of the sugary sites is the Candy Dish on Moncton Street. This shop is a trip down memory lane for candy lovers. Shirley Hartwell, proprietor and self-proclaimed candy connoisseur, has filled every inch of her old-fashioned candy shop with tempting sweets from yesteryears and today’s goodies. “I bought it in November of last year but I have been looking for a candy store for years,” said Hartwell. “My first job as a teenager in a small town in Ontario was in a candy store. I had such fond memories that for years I researched and visited candy stores all over the world.” When she came across the Candy Dish, Hartwell knew it was the one. “When I came to this shop, it was just about exactly what I had laid out and envision in my head, right down to the rows of candy jars,” said Hartwell, in between serving customers. She said many of her customers come in and when they see candy from their youth it evokes pleasant nostalgic childhood memories. Who doesn’t remember clutching a dime in their hand and racing to the corner candy store for some Pez Candy, Thrill gum, Jaw Breakers, salt water toffee or candy necklaces? see Diplomat’s chef page 16

LISA KING/SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Shirley Hartwell of the Candy Dish (left) says owning her shop is a dream come true. Jennifer Bell, of Bell’s Bake Shop (top) and Cathy Cheung of Sinfully the Best, feel the same way about their stores.

Diplomat’s chef: Cyclists come from across region bread and produce and meet my husband for dinner on the waterfront … does it get any better than that?” Another landmark is Diplomat Bakery. Gerald Stinson, owner/baker/pastry chef of Diplomat, opened his bakery in 1995 — first on Moncton down the alley from Bare Basics Lingerie, then on Moncton Street and No. 1 Road before moving to London Road (south of No. 2 Road near Dyke) four years ago. Originally from Ireland, Stinson has been a pastry chef for more than three decades. Trained in Europe, Stinson has worked all over the world, from Amsterdam, Switzerland, Belgium to Africa, the Middle East and Australia before settling down in Steveston in 1995. He now turns out sweet concoctions for locals and tourists who wander in off the nearby dike trail. Stinson has become

synonymous with cakes, such as his triplechocolate mousse cake loaded with dark, milk, and white mousse sandwiched by chocolate sponge and draped in a dark ganache, which is his signature trademark. Another is the Diplomat cake — a flaky puff pastry with butter cream icing. Stinson said he specifically chose Steveston to open his bakeshop because it reminded him of an island he lived on in Australia. “It was quaint and everybody knew each other and it really resembled Steveston,” he said. “I also don’t like big cities and I love how Steveston is so selfcontained. “I can walk everywhere from here.” Some of his weekly customers are Lower Mainland cyclists who stop by for coffee and a scone or muffin on their LISA KING/SPECIAL TO THE NEWS weekend cycle.

Outpost Mini Donuts: Right business for whole family grew up in Seafair. After graduating from Hugh Boyd secondary, Bell worked in retail. Then, when a former boyfriend kept telling her what a great cook and pastry chef she was, Bell decided to pursue the idea of changing career paths. “I never set up to get into this business, but as a child I grew up baking with my mom and grandmother and always enjoyed it,” said Bell. Bell said Steveston was just a natural fit for her — not only is she a Richmond resident but Bell has always loved the charm of the village. “I love the small town feel and how it’s so community oriented,” said Bell. “Also, it is so supportive … we (sweet merchants) all specialize in different items and we often send each other customers.”

Lisa Dye, of Outpost Mini Donuts, says she has been experimenting with donut recipes for more than a year to find the perfect ones.

Meanwhile, two newbies have recently come to town — Outpost Mini Donuts and Sinfully the Best, an artisan chocolate boutique on No. 1 Road. Interior designer turned donut baker, Lisa Dye, opened Outpost Mini Donuts Company less than

a month ago on Second Avenue, down from the Beatmerchant. The mini donuts shop is aptly named. The rustic décor is reminiscent of a Wild West outpost station. That was deliberate, said Dye. “I wanted a warm, cozy atmo-

Pirates, gun battles, ship wrecks and buried treasures. All of these things conjure up thoughts of mystery, romance and adventure at sea. From June 3 to 7, you can explore the world of pirates as part of the mighty Fraser River, by Garry Point Park, comes alive with the sights and sounds of a fleet of sailing ships from around the world. The Ships to Shore Steveston 2011 sails into dock with four tall ships — Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain, as well as the Adventuress and the Zodiac. These are vessels, reminders of a forgotten era, when brave men traveled the high seas in search of adventure or riches. They hailed from a long list of harbours and are famous worldwide, said city of Richmond spokesman, Ted Townsend. “Johnny Depp has certainly revitalized the pirates theme,” quipped Townsend. “After we postponed the Tall Ships Festival, we still had these four ships that wanted to come. We also wanted to build momentum leading up to the 2014 Tall Ships Festival.” A crowd pleaser during the inaugural 2002 Tall Ships Festival was the Lady Washington, which has been featured in Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The Curse of the Black Pearl. This sleek beauty is the largest square-rigged sailing vessel on the Pacific Coast. While in Steveston, the Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain will stage mock gun battles and offer passages for day sails and gun battles. U.S. Capt. Les Bolton, executive director of Grays Harbour Historical Seaport Authority in Washington, said the Lady Washington is a true replica of the brig Lady Washington, which figured prominently in the late 18th century, under her American captains Robert Gray and John Kendrick. “She was actually the first ship to ever make it to Japan,” Bolton said, adding she is sparser compared to the yacht-like Hawaiian Chieftain. “The replica has become famous for appearing in movies, as well as television shows such as the reality television show, Fear Factor.” When it comes to luxuri-

Visitors: Learn about life on ship Continued from page 18 “She is an absolutely beautiful steel vessel,” says Bolton. “Master carver John Nippolt carved the figurehead from a tree from Hawaii’s Royal Arboretum and the table in the Great Cabin came from a section of a bar in Lahaina.” Bolton went on to say: “Visitors will have a chance to tour the ships, talk to the crews and ask them about what life was like on these ships in the 18th and 21st centuries. They can also learn about

navigation in the 18th century and how different it is today. They will also see how the crew lives today, which is much different from how they lived in the 18th century.” Also featured at the Maritime celebration are the Adventuress, a 40-metre (133-foot) gaff-rigged schooner, originally launched in 1913, and the Zodiac, a 39-metre (127-foot) gaff-rigged schooner dating from the 1920s. Among the fastest ships of their day, these two schooners will offer three-

One woman’s quest into the world of dominatrixes Richmond’s Maria Coletsis documents women who love to dominate and why they chose the unconventional lifestyle BY MICHELLE HOPKINS

mhopkins@richmond-news.com

A successful, good-looking young British professional leaves his office and heads to a darkened dungeon. There, he quickly changes out of his business suit and dons a dog leash and thong underwear and starts to walk on all fours while a dominatrix leads him around. In Berlin, a guy walks on his knees wearing nothing but a black leather thong and loves to have a woman sit on him and whip him. Many in mainstream society might view this type of behaviour as immoral and even disgusting. Richmond’s Maria Coletsis doesn’t see it that way. After travelling the world for her photography book – Behind the Whip: Dominatrix — she learned to be much more tolerant of behaviour so different from the accepted norm. “My book isn’t about shocking people or making them feel uncomfortable, it’s about understanding and perhaps even becoming tolerant of behaviours far different from our own.” “The women will touch the men, but there is no sexual contact. That isn’t what the dominatrix is about… yes, there are sexual fantasies played out, but it’s often about escapism for many of the subs (short for submissive).” Coletsis wasn’t surprised to discover that many men who frequent doms (dominatrixes) are powerful politicians and wealthy businessmen.

From her five-year world odyssey documenting the lives of 13 dominatrices and their clients, she concluded that the visits that powerful men make to the mistresses are escapes from all the pressure they’re feeling. “Some of the men spoke about the stresses of their lives and how allowing a dominatrix to dominate them is liberating,” she said. “The dominatrixes told me they see themselves beyond the sexual persona and rather as a mental health facilitator.” Doms are prevalent in Europe, the United States and Asia. “Cities such as Brussels, London, Tokyo, Paris, Berlin, New York, and Washington, D.C., are filled with doms,” she said. She said that all of the women she approached were “enthusiastic about the project because they wanted to explain their world.” For her research, Coletsis videotaped her encounters with the doms and some of their subs. That became a 30-minute film in which the women discuss why they chose domination, who their clients are, the services they provide and the demand for them, and how their services uniquely represent the city in which they work. (That film has been accepted into a German short film festival this October.) “Some people might be surprised to learn that most of these women have relationships, some are married and some even have children,” said Coletsis. Coletsis herself was a little amazed to find that many hus-

In her recently released book, she provides insight into the modern-day dominatrix and through images divulges their lives.

she added. “My parents are in their seventies and they thought my book tastefully represented their world.” Coletsis said all the dominatrices spoke frankly and honestly about their profession. “I wanted to show these women as authentically as possible,” she added. “We all have stereotypes … but what was revealed to me, by spending time with them, was

their dynamic spirit and strength.” Their tools of the trade vary from country to country but the basics of the trade — chains, whips, ropes and other bondage paraphernalia — are in most dungeons. Meanwhile, Coletsis admits she’s had a fascination with subcultures since she was a teenager. “Yes, that’s me … a good traditional Greek girl growing up in an Orthodox family,” she quipped. “I’ve been shocking my parents for years, but they have always been tolerant of my creativity. “I have to admit I like pushing the envelope of morality and to define what is unacceptable and acceptable behaviour.” The McNair graduate completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in the 1990s. “Then, I moved to San Francisco to get my Masters degree from the San Francisco Art Institute,” Coletsis said. “I did my thesis paper on sexuality and feminine identity.” It was while in the Bay Area, working on her thesis, that the photographer was drawn into the underbelly of the “thriving subculture world.” “It was an amazing time to peel away the layers of proper society and see this other side of our society that very few get to witness.” From there, the artist decided to move to the UK. see Coletsis page 21

Coletsis: Mistress’s dungeon ‘eye candy’ Continued from page 20 “London was very conducive to my energy level and I was drawn to the culture and theatre that abounds there.” She quickly got work as a freelance photographer, working for magazines that were hardly what you’d call mainstream. “It was while I was photographing women and men in fetish clubs that a domi-

natrix approached me and invited me to take photos of her, her clients and her dungeon for her website.” Coletsis said for an artist, that world — her apparatus she used and the dungeon was “like eye candy.” “I’d never seen a dungeon and once I did I wanted to know more,” she added. “The idea for the book came about when mistress Vanessa started

talking to me about her world.” Coletsis book is a visual documentary providing a rare sneak peek into the lives of women who work as professional dominatrices. For more information or to purchase Behind the Whip: Dominatrix, visit www.behindthewhip.com. The book is also available at Amazon.

The Mission is the oldest remaining building in Idaho. Built by Jesuit priests in the early 1840s, it was instrumental in the development of the Northwest.

Ken McGivern from Butte, Mt. reads the News while visiting the Old Prison Museum in Deer Lodge, Mont., where he used to bring his Little League teams to play on the prison ball diamond during the waning years of the prison. Montana’s Territorial Prison was built in 1871 and slowly closed in the early 1970s. It housed celebrated villians like members of Butch Cassidy’s Hole-in-the-Wall gang and Paul “Turkey Pete” Eitner who enjoyed his stay so much that he remained past his sentence and eventually died within the prison walls.

Take a trip down memory lane at Hair by Lenny BY MICHELLE HOPKINS

mhopkins@richmond-news.com

LISA KING/SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Fascinated by the style of the last century, Lenny Entwistle has decided to decorate her hair styling shop in a vintage beauty parlour style, where visitors and customers are treated to a display of old little black dresses, antique chandeliers and old-fashioned posters.

As you walk into Hair by Lenny, your eyes are immediately drawn to the walls. It’s not everyday you walk into a hair salon and find more than a dozen vintage dresses — such as a 1950s satin brocade dress, a sixties cocktail pencil dress and a hoop flared taffeta dress — adorning the walls. This Steveston hair salon is like going back into a time warp. Five years ago, hair stylist Lenny Entwistle decided to decorate her shop in a vintage beauty parlour style, complete with antique chandeliers, old fashioned posters and dresses — 15 of them and counting. What began as a theme style décor turned into a passion for the 50-year-old British-born Entwistle. Her charmingly eccentric retro boutique/hair salon is

a treasure trove of unique vintage jewelry, evening purses, hats, diamante brooches and cocktail dresses. Most of her dresses hail from the ’40s and ’50s and many of them are reminiscent of screen legend Audrey Hepburn’s elegant and sophisticated black dresses. “Most of my collection of jewelry and clothing I purchased during my yearly visits to England,” said Entwistle, who herself hails from Darlington, County Durham, England. While in the UK, Entwistle can spend hours poking her head into antique shops and car boot sales in small villages in Northern England. “I also buy a lot of my treasures on eBay, Craigslist and I also buy and trade with my clients,” she added. It didn’t take long for local residents in this historic little village to take

notice. Soon, word spread about Entwistle rare collection of vintage clothing and accessories. Vintage lovers come from all over the Lower Mainland for a trip down memory lane and to buy her extensive jewelry selection. It could be argued that Entwistle is at the forefront of a movement that has been gaining huge popularity with young women on the other side of the pond.

“In England, many young women are heading to the night clubs glammed up in vintage wear,” she said. Her love affair, Entwistle said, can be explained partly by nostalgia for a simpler time when women dressed up in velvet, taffeta and satin instead of jeans. It can also be justified by her desire for a return to that classic femininity by see Salon page 30 We also rent concession equipment! Free delivery and set-up.

Continued from page 29 taking a brief step back into an era when ladies set their hair, put on a hat and applied bright red lipstick every time they walked out the front door. In fact, for the recent Royal Wedding between Kate Middleton and Prince William, Entwistle attended a wedding party decked out in vintage negligee dress and a facisnator (which is a headpiece worn instead of the more formal hats typically donned by proper British women during formal functions). “The following day, I went to a champagne and fancies soiree wearing one of my vintage dresses, along with the hat and purse circa 1960s,” said Entwistle. She likes to glean the history about each dress, although it doesn’t often happen.

The salon is filled with such wonderful antiques as old blow driers and lipstick holders from the dirty thirties. Many of her retro style dresses harkens back to those Audrey Hepburn days. “Around Christmas time, a few women came in asking to rent my dresses for parties,” she said, adding now she does rent her dresses.

the expressions on the faces of first-time clients and visitors.“In the summer, if people are strolling by and peek into the window, they’ll come in off the street just to check out my collection and ask me questions,” said Entwistle. Last summer, the Steveston Post Office and Museum exhibited some of

her antique beauty products, such as the old blow driers (circa 1950) as well as powder compacts and lipstick holders from the dirty thirties and roaring forties. “I also loaned the museum really old curling irons, ones that used to go into the coal fire to heat them up,” she added. Will she ever stop collecting? “Never, I’m having too much fun,” said Entwistle.

This Team is responsible for the creation and execution of marketing solutions for our valued client base including Newspaper advertising campaigns with us and our sister papers; online solutions that include Geo-targeted advertising on Canada’s best read news sites; Innovative promotional alternatives like Auctionmart and SwarmJam; and Custom targeted print and delivery options as well as products tailored speciﬁcally for our clients.

Cancer June 21-July 22: The weeks ahead emphasize quietude, contemplation, solitude, lowered energy, particularly this Wednesday/ Thursday. Despite this, however, your social and optimistic side remains strong – especially Sunday to Tuesday. Your psychic and spiritual side emerges – so, hopefully, does your charitable side. This is a good time to contemplate your plans for the future, especially Sunday to Tuesday. June 4 begins 12 months of increased socializing, especially in your work environment. You might not feel the full effect of this until your birthday onward. Your energy bounces back Friday. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The emphasis lies on wish fulﬁllment, social delights, light, friendly romance, optimism, the joy of living! Be ambitious Sunday to Tuesday. Soon (Saturday) you begin 12 months of super career luck. You’ll ﬁnd bosses, parents and VIPs are more open to your ideas, willing to give you a boost up the ladder. Your creative, romantic and pleasure-loving side can help promote you and your ambitions. Midweek’s for social joys, entertainment and romance. Issue invitations. But retreat Friday/ Saturday – conditions are unstable Friday. Humour a “pushy” higher-up – until late June. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: The weeks ahead bring pressure to perform and opportunities to enhance your status or prestige. Your career, relations with higher-ups and ambitions will occupy you. Until June 21, you might invest in a foreign country or international fund, etc. For this same three weeks, avoid legal hassles. Pay attention to Sunday through Tuesday – days when your mind will naturally drift toward the “larger questions,” toward international events, higher learning, compassion for all, and gentle love. This entire zone will be very luckily brought into prominence this June to next (2012).

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Letters, emails, reports, short literature, calls, visits, short trips, errands, paperwork – these fill your life, especially midweek. The week is busy but not terribly important. Money themes continue, mostly good ones. Money might really rush toward you now to June 21 – but beware, you could spend it just as swiftly, or spend even more than comes. Bank it, be tight-fisted! Saturday (June 4) begins a year of grand money luck, especially in earnings and selling items. (Early hints of this Sunday/Monday, when all’s well in dollar-land.) Focus on home, children Friday/Saturday. Taurus April 20-May 20: The weeks ahead feature money, earnings and spending, possessions, memory, rote learning, and sensuality. All these, by June 4 onward will “tweak” or more deeply, give birth to, significant and beneficial “heavy money” situations. Heavy money = investments, mortgages, financial partnerships, dealings with other people’s money, inheritance: generally any money that is big, shared and intended to grow. (E.g., a car will not grow in value, but land often does.) Your charm and magnetism soar Sunday/Monday: impress someone! Money, midweek – beware a false idea. Speak humbly Friday. Gemini May 21-June 20: Congratulate yourself – you’re on top, winning! Your energy and charisma are climbing (and will increase more next week). Impress someone, seek attention, start significant projects, tackle formerly daunting tasks. Rest and plan and deal with government or head office Sunday-Tuesday.Then plunge into brave action Tuesday eve to Thursday. You might need to choose between your personal drives and a career/reputation situation. Either choice is OK: base it on your stage of life. Be cautious with money Friday: spend Saturday. Saturday begins 12 months of relative quietude: be patient.

May 29 - June 4, 2011

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: A mellow, understanding mood flows over you this week and the next two (especially this midweek). Study abstract subjects, religion, philosophy – any higher learning – or to write, travel afar or handle legal matters. You might meet love. Sunday to Tuesday contains mysteries – look beneath surface appearances. Your sexual and financial instincts awaken. It’s a superb time to go for a health diagnostic, change your lifestyle, or make a commitment. All these things (from mysteries to sex to finances) face huge luck from June 4 to mid-2012. Your life is about to change! Caution Friday. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Late May and June draw you into life’s depths. Mysteries, secrets, large financial manoeuvres, investments, sexual urges, lifestyle commitments draw you, especially midweek. Study this area for a clue to fortunate action, projects in the year-long phase between June 2012 and July 2013. Until then, though, play this area lightly. (Actually, if you’re planning that far ahead, mark July/August of 2012 as “highly questionable.”) Your true luck, for the immediate 12 months ahead, begins this Saturday: you’ll find it in relationships of every stripe. You might relocate, or marry! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The emphasis lies on relationships, relocation, agreements, contracts, negotiation, opportunities, competition, challenge, opposition, litigation, especially midweek. You’ll receive the positive side of these if you’re diplomatic, eager to please and a team-player. The negative needs no explanation. But one note: in general, it’s better not to vigorously pursue either side, now to August 2012. A Gemini might play a key role. You’ll accomplish a lot of work Sunday/Monday. Work will expand strongly now to mid-2012. Learn to relax! Invest or offer intimacy Saturday, NOT Friday!

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Lots of work faces you, especially midweek, when a new chore could begin. Better plunge in these few weeks, as a major romantic, pleasure-oriented or “happy venture” phase begins very soon, and will last for 12 months. You’ll want to be relatively free of restricting duties by then. (In late June, a powerful relationship inﬂuence starts, bringing romantic urges to a tempting climax.) In fact, this romantic phase has already started, in minor ways. Sunday to Tuesday contain some tantalizing urges! Careful with relationships Friday. One affair might end, another start – soon. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The weeks ahead feature romance, creativity, pleasure, vacation, sports and games and successful risks. Something might start in a very small way in these areas midweek – something that can grow in future. But a lot of emphasis remains in your area of home, domesticity, security and children (especially early week). You have to avoid friction or sharp words here (or anywhere near a cafe or kitchen – watch cuts and burns, too) through June 20. On June 4, a year of luck begins in these areas: home, children, real estate, retirement, new beginnings. A new home? Caution Friday. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The emphasis lies on your home, security, children, nourishment, on Mother Nature, retirement, endings and beginnings. A minor new phase or project might begin in these areas midweek. Usually this phase (late May to late June) creates a restful, sluggish mood designed to give you a mid-year rejuvenation. But this time a lot of errands, trips, visits, calls and paperwork keep you busy. June 4 starts a year in which your career will involve a lot of running around and communicating. Romance disappoints Friday, ﬂows smoothly Saturday. One met before Friday isn’t compatible. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

The CT 200h is based upon excellent Corolla/Matrix platform but it still distinguishes itself and offers exceptional value.

At $31k, there is much to like about the Lexus CT 200h BY DAVID CHAO

Special to the News

It’s no secret that Toyota is ahead of the game when it comes to hybrid vehicles, but it’s interesting to note that Lexus actually has more hybrids in its line-up than Toyota. While the Prius is the poster child for hybrids, the only other Toyotas to gain electric motors over the years have been the Highlander and Camry. In the meantime, Lexus has equipped three of its existing vehicles with gas-electric drivetrains and introduced two purpose-built luxury hybrids: the HS 250h in 2009, and the 2011 CT 200h. So, what do you need to know about the newest Lexus? Three things: it’s a compact, it’s a hatchback, and it’s fantastic to drive. Combining Lexus quality, an excellent hybrid system, and a starting price of $31k — which puts it not far off from the $27,800 Prius — the CT 200h offers exceptional value. It slots in below the IS sedan, becoming Lexus’s entry-level vehicle and further blurring the lines between the mass-market and luxury segments. It’s actually less expensive than a Camry Hybrid, while offering more features, more prestige, and more practicality. What’s not to like about that? The CT 200h is based upon the excellent Corolla/Matrix platform, but designers have worked hard to distinguish the Lexus from its Toyota cousins. While the jury is out on the unusual exterior, which looks better from some angles than others, the upscale interior gets top marks for its balance of technology and simplicity. In the long run, it will be interesting to see how the CT 200h fares in the North American and European markets. Here, it’s a case of determining how much appeal a Lexus hatchback holds for consumers. Across the Atlantic, the question is whether or not it can unseat the established European competition. Regardless of how it does, Lexus deserves praise for leading the way in hybrid development, and for producing a fantastic new vehicle.

Design

The CT 200h’s styling isn’t for everyone, catering to more-traditional Lexus owners with its upright profile and squat stance. Even hatchback lovers will be divided, with debate centring on the unusual proportions of the large rear pillars, wraparound window, and the squared-off rear end that juts out from the below it. On the plus side, there’s a lot to like about the aggressive front end, highlighted by the pinched grille and sculpted hood. The front three-quarter view is definitely the CT 200h’s best look. The cabin manages to be classy, high-tech, and relaxed at the same time. There are buttons and switches everywhere, but they’re not overwhelming. Rather, the console and dashboard have a very personal and energetic look and feel, with a sportier edge brought by the thick steering wheel and contoured seats. Absolutely first class fit-and-finish inside and out.

Performance

*-+,+,,-

@ fill

The front-wheel-drive CT 200h is powered by a 1.8.L inline-four with two electric motors, generating peak power of 134-h.p., and connected to a shift-by-wide continuously variable transmission. You wouldn’t call it a fast car, but the CT 200h’s acceleration is surprisingly good — it’s certainly sportier than a Toyota Prius. Four modes—Normal, Eco, Sport, and EV — provide see Space page 41

However, since the battery pack is stored in the floor, you can fold the 60/40-split rear seatbacks to create a long and flat luggage space with a large and square opening. Up front, the dashboard is thoughtfully designed and easy to use, with controls falling close to the driver’s hand, but the electronic transmission might take awhile to get used to, requiring a bit more thought than a regular automatic shifter.

ed through curvy roads. Overall, the CT 200h feels more spacious than it actually is, and the back seat is particularly comfortable due to the reasonably generous headroom. Storage spaces are a bit disappointing, though; particularly the small glove box and centre console bin.

Continued from page 40 for a variety of driving experiences. Eco maximizes fuel efficiency by limiting throttle response and air conditioning, while Sport adjusts the power and ride for better performance. EV mode enables the CT 200h to drive a short distance using only electric power. As you would expect from a Lexus, ride quality is excellent. The bigger surprise is how well the CT 200h handles. It has the solid and planted feel of a much bigger and heavier car, due in large part to the car’s low centre of gravity. Early regenerative braking systems tended to feel mushier and less responsive than normal brakes, leading drivers to feel less than certain about their stopping power. That’s changing as technologies continue to improve, and the CT 200h’s brakes provide a lot of confidence.

back comes with a 2.0 L inline-four with 200-h.p. and 207 lb.-ft. of torque, or a 2.0 L turbodiesel with 140-h.p. and 236 lb.-ft. of torque. The diesel version is limited to front-wheel drive, while the gas engine can be had with Audi’s excellent quattro all-wheel-drive system. While it’s exterior isn’t exciting, the entry-level Audi is a classy and practical five-door that offers the most comparable competition for the CT 200h. Honda CR-Z Starting at $23,490, the CR-Z features a 1.5 L inline-four with 113-h.p. and 107 lb.-ft. of torque, accompanied by an electric motor generating 13-h.p. and 58 lb.-ft. of torque. Peak outputs are such that maximum combined power is only 122-h.p. and 128 lb.ft. of torque, but the little Honda makes the most of it. Designed in tribute to

the popular CRX coupe from the 80’s and 90’s, the CR-Z makes the most of its small interior. There are only two seats, but the hatchback offers more storage space than much larger vehicles. Mini Cooper Countryman The Mini Cooper Countryman sells for $27,850, with a longer wheelbase than the Cooper and a 1.6L inline-four producing 121-hp and 114 lb-ft of torque, or a turbocharged version with 181-hp and 177 lb-ft of torque in the Cooper S Countryman. The four-seater Countryman lacks the practicality of the CT 200h, but makes up for it with bolder styling and an enthusiastic driving experience. The larger Mini lacks the compact cuteness of the original Cooper — whether or not that’s a good thing depends on your point of view.
