Fishing trip trauma a warning

CITY HALL

Arts, culture and heritage get leg up

Two-hour boating excursion turns into 16-hour ordeal

BY ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

One of Richmond’s search and rescue teams is reminding people to prepare for everything on the water — after a leisurely fishing trip almost turned into a nightmare.

Three people had left Steveston on Tuesday afternoon for a brief fishing trip on the Fraser River.

With the weather being dry and sunny, they departed wearing nothing more than their T-shirts, shorts and lifejackets, expecting they would be home well before sunset.

A few hours later, their vessel, an 18foot speedboat, broke down and they were floating aimlessly with the current.

Once they were finally able to call for help, the Coastguard’s hovercraft found them floating off Roberts Bank at around 3 a.m.

“The three were dried off and warmed up aboard the hovercraft while they were towed to Sandheads,” said Brian Hobbs, of the RCMSAR (Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue) Station 10.

“Station 10 volunteers relieved the (Coastguard) crew and took the three and their vessel safely into Steveston, almost 16 hours after they had departed.”

Station 10 would like to remind the

The City of Richmond is setting up a dedicated arts, culture and heritage reserve fund.

City council’s finance committee approved on Tuesday the formation of the fund, which will kick off with a near $4.3 million injection from recent land sales.

The reserve fund would be used for the likes of: capital costs associated with building arts, culture or heritage facilities and restoration of heritage properties.

The initial funding for the reserve comes primarily from the net proceeds of the Kawaki (Oris) rezoning for London’s Landing in Steveston.

“Any projects funded through this reserve will still go through the capital budget process,” wrote Jane Fernyhough, the city’s director of arts, culture and heritage.

“This fund provides an additional funding mechanism for arts, culture and heritage projects, which are typically under funded in the capital budget process.”

Ensure your vessel is seaworthy before departing, including all proper safety equipment; ! Always pack some warm and waterproof clothing; ! Ensure someone at home knows where

you plan on going and when you plan to return home; ! Have a VHF radio available to call for help; ! If you only have a cell phone, keep it turned off so it’s not constantly “searching” for a signal and draining your battery. Cell signals are not always available off shore.

Sister City spending plans put on hold

BY ALAN CAMPBELL

Council wants more details on activities planned

acampbell@richmond-news.com

A plan to spend almost $240,000 on keeping up relations with Richmond’s “sisters” has been put on hold.

City staff had asked council to approve allocating the one-time funding for Richmond’s Sister City Advisory Committee’s three-year activity plan.

The committee has earmarked, between 2014 and 2016, a whole host of school exchanges involving Richmond’s sister and friendship cities of Pierrefonds (Quebec), Wakayama (Japan), Qingdao and Xiamen (both China).

It also wanted city council to approve spending a total of $160,000 either visiting or hosting delegations from the aforementioned cities.

cash.

The committee is run by volunteers, but the mayor and members of council frequently take part in the activities, both at home and abroad.

A decision last year to officially link up as a sister with Xiamen at the expense of the taxpayer — a large city council delegation was sent to China — was heavily criticized.

The city insisted the new relationship would “further promote and develop exchanges and cooperation in fields like culture, education, tourism, science, technology, business and trade.”

Xiamen and Richmond had been “Friendship Cities” since 2008.

In particular, council wanted to know more about the near $50,000 being requested for items marked as “other activity.”

Included in the plan are trips to an “all sports event in Wakayama” ($20,000) and an official delegation visit to Qingdao for the eighth anniversary of Richmond’s friendship status ($50,000).

For 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Sister City Committee’s budget was just slightly lower than the new request at $234,000, which came out of the city’s 2010 surplus

City ‘bright spot’ in housing

BY BRUCE CONSTANTINEAU The Vancouver Sun

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Jessie Wowk elementary students (Grades 4 and 5) tied for top prize with McNeely elementary (not pictured) in this year’s Climate Change Showdown.

Students tackle climate change

Two classes from Richmond’s Jessie Wowk and Kathleen McNeely elementary schools tied for top prize this year through the reduction of their greenhouse gas emissions by a total of 70 tonnes (an average of 2.5 tonnes per student) and 56 tonnes (an For a link average of 2.4 tonnes per student) respectively. to the More than 1,660 elemenShowdown tary school students across Richmond, participated in this year’s Climate Change Showdown — a program that educates students on climate change.

In total, 105 Richmond students reduced their emissions by three tonnes by successfully completing all suggested actions in the challenge, receiving a perfect score.

The students’ efforts were publicly recognized at the June 24 council meeting where Mayor Malcolm Brodie presented a sustainability certificate of achievement to both winning classes.

In the 2012/2013 Climate Change Showdown, all students involved decreased their greenhouse gas emissions by more than 990 tonnes, which is equivalent to removing more than 200 cars from the road for an entire year.

During the five years the city supported the delivery of the showdown in Richmond schools, more than 6,700 students managed to save 4,794 tonnes of greenhouse gas from entering the atmosphere.

For more information on the Climate Change Showdown, visit www.bcsea.org.

Richmond is one of the few “bright spots” in what is otherwised being described as balanced housing market conditions.

Single-family home sales in Richmond rose to 115 from 76 a year ago, said Fraser Valley board president Ron Todson.

Langley is also performing well, said Todson. Langley has a sales-to-listings ratio of 26 per cent, which approaches sellers’ market conditions, he added.

Realtors say balanced market conditions exist when the sales-to-listings ratio ranges from 15 to 25 per cent. Anything below 15 per cent is considered a buyers’ market.

“Things can vary significantly from one local market to another as different factors come together,” Todson said.

He said Langley, in particular, is benefiting from the new Port Mann Bridge and better bus service that has improved the commute to Vancouver.

However, for the region in general, house values have dipped slightly and sales have remained below historical averages.

This has created “balanced” market conditions, according to the Fraser Valley and Greater Vancouver real estate boards.

The boards reported Wednesday that Multiple Listing Service sales in June declined from May levels and sales for the

first half of 2013 have fallen significantly below last year’s activity.

Greater Vancouver MLS sales during the first six months of this year fell 9.1 per cent from last year to 13,646 while Fraser Valley sales dropped 15.7 per cent to 6,714.

Greater Vancouver sales dropped to 2,642 last month from 2,882 in May while Fraser Valley sales dipped to 1,327 in June from 1,379 in May. “We’d be concerned if we had a lot of new listings coming onto the market, but that isn’t happening,” Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver president-elect Ray Harris said in an interview. “As long as the number of buyers and sellers remains fairly constant, we don’t really have any fear and conditions should remain balanced.”

The total number of Greater Vancouver MLS listings has fallen six per cent in the past year to 17,289. Fraser Valley listings have declined one per cent in the past year to 10,515.

The benchmark price for all Greater Vancouver residential properties sits at $601,900 — a three per cent decline from a year ago but a 2.3 per cent increase from January.

The benchmark price for a Fraser Valley single-family home has risen 0.2 per cent in the past year to $552,200 but the benchmark price for townhouses in the region has fallen 2.1 per cent in the past 12 months to $298,700.

The River Rock Casino and Resort is again rubbing shoulders with some elite hotels around the globe as a finalist in the 2013 World Luxury Hotel Awards.

Howard Blank, Great Canadian Casino’s vice president of media, entertainment and responsible gaming, told the News he’s hoping his property on the banks of the Fraser River’s north arm can repeat as last year’s winner in the casino/resort hotel category.

But no matter what the result, Blank said he knows at the core of his hotel’s success is the staff who make a difference.

“Our footprint and our property is a wow,” Blank said. “That’s sort of the body.

The heart and soul is our staff — the team members who have a ‘no, no’ attitude.

“To them there’s no such thing as the word ‘no.’ They will do whatever they can to make things work. And I think people see that and see the great lengths we go to try and make things happen.”

Blank added he takes special pride for the River Rock being in the running again since the contest is based on nominations and votes from customers.

“We’re really excited about it because we pride ourselves in being an amazing property with outstanding customer service and amenities. But this really puts us on another pedestal,” Blank said. “There’s so many other properties that are far more vast and beautiful.”

Other Canadian hotels in the con-

test include The Rosewood Georgia in Vancouver, Montreal’s Hotel Chateau St. Marc and Hotel Le St. James in Hotel, Le Bonne Entente in Quebec City, and The Great George Hotel in Charlottetown, PEI. Being listed among those places has helped boost the River Rock’s reputation in tourism circles, Blank said.

“I think our profile has definitely been increased by it, because there are a lot of key demographic travellers who look for that and want to experience it. They know they can expect a certain level of service, hospitality and amenities.”

And that can have a spill over effect, enhancing Richmond’s overall reputation as a destination, said Michelle Dunn, Tourism Richmond’s director of communications.

“Things like world level awards given to products, services and hotels, anything within your destination, is a positive contribution to how people are going to see your city.”

Dunn added it’s not just Richmond’s hotels that have been recognized by the tourism industry.

“Certainly, the airport (YVR) wins its fair share of best in North America airports. It all goes towards making a positive impression of your destination, and our vision is to be a premier, west coast visitor destination.

“So, for every win and success that the city experiences, it moves us further and further forward in that vision.”

Voting in the 2013 World Luxury Hotel Awards contest started June 24 and concludes July 26.

Transit needs cash fill up

I

n a dazzling glimpse of the obvious, Statistics Canada recently released numbers showing most commuters in Metro Vancouver are still getting to work in their cars.

In the more urban areas, where transit options are better, the number of car commuters is certainly fewer.

However, Richmond residents are mostly doing the same thing as other suburban commuters: gassing up and ignoring campaigns to get them out of their vehicles.

Their reluctance to park the car and embrace transit are primarily the dual factors of travel time and convenience.

Neither of which is surprising. Once outside the urban core — hinterlands less occupied by urban planners and more by ordinary folk — getting to and from many destinations remains a lengthy headache on transit.

That issue isn’t about to go away. Outlying suburbs are among the fastest-growing areas of our region.

Contributing to the problem is that drivers continue to enjoy the lion’s share of provincial dollars that go to transportation.

Expansion of transit service to make it faster and more convenient for outlying areas is key to getting more people out of their cars. But that won’t happen without money — which is where the rubber really hits the road.

Road pricing is one option that’s been suggested by local mayors to raise cash for transit expansion. But Victoria has been cool to the idea, insisting it be tied to a doomed-to-fail referendum.

The likely result — more people continuing to drive more cars until political will makes transit a more viable option.

CHOICE WORDS

Canada walks the talk The Editor, Re: “Ahead of the curve,” Opinion, July 3.

What a timely Editorial in the News.

We do have so many things to be grateful for in this country, compassion, tolerance, equality and inclusivity.

We only have to look south to the U.S. to see the horrors of a theocracy, how a once proud and free society has now become paralyzed with the constant bickering and hatred over equal rights for gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgendered people, coupled with the never-ending fight for women to control their own bodies.

We have so much to thank our parents and grandparents for, giving us this remarkable platform to live as we please and in peace, but we must be responsible and pass this legacy on to our children and grandchildren.

The sacrifices that our forbears have made, which guarantee our place in the company of the world’s great democracies, can never be taken for granted as the attempted terrorist attack on our provincial capital this past Monday has shown.

That this attack is allegedly from native born Canadians is even more shocking and warns us that danger can come from anywhere.

While the U.S. is occupied with trying to prove that it is indeed the land of “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” we in Canada are actually living it.

Ancient bones and modern warfare It’s summer, which means that instead of sitting in the shade and sipping cool drinks, hundreds of paleontologists and fossil fanatics are spreading out into the badlands of Canada and the U.S. right now.

They’ll be digging up the millions-of-years-old remains of dinosaurs, mammals, reptiles, fish, amphibians and plants.

This annual rite has been observed for more than 130 years, and its first incarnation was so vicious and competitive, it was dubbed the Bone Wars.

Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh were both paleontologists in the 1870s and 1880s, when the discipline was brand new and only a handful of dinosaurs were known in North America.

By the time their war petered out in the early 1890s, they had each identified dozens of new species, including not only dinosaurs but sea-going reptiles, prehistoric fish and mammals.

Both men travelled to the western United States, or more frequently sent teams of bone hunters, to scour exposed stone bluffs and valleys.

They brought back petrified bones, and Cope and Marsh would each rush to be the first to describe and name the new species.

From this mad rush came dinosaurs like Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Allosaurus, Camarasaurus, Diplodocus, and Coelophysis.

Matthew Claxton PA I N F U L T RU T H

Aside from massive numbers of new dinosaurs, bile was generated in great quantities by the two men.

Cope and Marsh hated each other. When Cope reconstructed an Elasmosaurus with the head on the wrong end (hey, both ends are kind of skinny), Marsh had it pointed out.

Publicly. Cope started keeping a journal of every mistake Marsh made.

Both men then either resorted to bribing each others workers, or sneaking into their opponents fossil quarries, or smearing each others’ reputations in the newspapers.

On one occasion, their competing crews threw rocks at each other. Clearly, this was the high water mark for science.

Another product of the Bone Wars was a great deal of confusion that took more sober scholars years to unravel.

Consider Brontosaurus, which does not exist. In 1877, Marsh named a new species, Apatosaurus, a long-necked, long-tailed sauro-pod, which we now know lived more than 150 million years ago.

Two years later, along came a new skeleton, a different size (the original

Apatosaurus was a juvenile when it died) and sadly, without a head. But what can you do?

Almost every fossil skeleton is missing parts, and you’re lucky indeed if you have even half a skeleton, or anything more than a few teeth and scraps of backbone.

So this new skeleton was more than enough for Cope to name a new species — Brontosaurus. A museum mount created a cast of a head, based on another type of sauropod dinosaur.

The error was actually noticed and corrected as far as science was concerned in 1903, but the name had entered the public consciousness.

Both Cope and Marsh eventually tired of the feud, and their later years were difficult, with financial problems and political scandals.

If I had to pick a winner in the war, I couldn’t. Both men contributed much to science, more good than bad.

But the next generation was better. Charles H. Sternberg, who had worked for Cope, and his sons later competed with Barnum Brown in Alberta and the American west.

Their competition was friendly, however, and still turned up amazing fossils, including the first good remains of Tyranosaurus rex, the tyrant lizard king.

GARDEN CITY LANDS

Keep lands accessible The Editor, Why is it that as soon as residents of an urban area face the prospect of having open space, their immediate reaction is what should we put “on” it?

As various proposals are currently being considered, we should step back and recognize the unique possibility that Richmond has with the Garden City Lands.

Very seldom does an existing urban community have the opportunity to suddenly acquire a large open space in the centre of the city.

Recently, a poll was released identifying the top 10 city parks in the world and Vancouver’s Stanley Park was at the top of the list.

I have had the good fortune to visit most of these parks and there are a number of common features: ! They have very few physical buildings; ! They are designed for walking and jogging, not for playing fields, hockey arenas or swimming pools’ ! They are very visible and easy to access; ! They feature trees, water features, open space and walking paths; ! The local community identifies very closely to these parks and is extremely protective of them; ! There are no community gardens or other farming activities.

Once a building is built, the land will never return to open space.

The same can be said for artificial playing fields.

Minoru Park was once a farm, but today it is “surrounded” by a swimming

pool, seniors centre, hockey arena, fire hall, tennis club, fenced playing fields, theatre, hospital and residential housing.

A visitor driving around the area would have difficulty recognizing that it is a “park.”

In spite of all the hindrances, walkers and joggers still manage to make up one of the most common users of the area.

Community gardens sound like a wonderful use of land; however, I have walked through many areas particularly in Germany where these are quite common.

It is not all a delightful experience.

There are many issues with unsightly plots, problems with pollution and the biggest issue is that even if there are 1,000 plots, it is only the privileged few who will be able to participate.

As Richmond quickly builds up around the Garden City Lands, there will be thousands of residents who will be able to enjoy this open and natural space.

For a visitor to Richmond, what greater initial impact could there be than driving by a magnificent space featuring local vegetation, open space and walking paths.

Think Stanley Park, Hyde Park in London and Central Park in New York.

One hundred years from now, no one will care about a building or playing field we built in 2013.

But everyone will marvel that we had the foresight to keep the “space” for future generations!

Unjust enrichment on the road to Whistler

Late last month, reasons for judgment were released in a case called Pickard v. Knudsen. The Plaintiff, a son of the deceased, sued the Estate for the now well known remedy of Unjust Enrichment, and alternatively for a variation of the Will under the Wills Variation Act. The Plaintiff ’s sister is the named defendant.

The main asset in the Estate is a large parcel of land in Brackendale, on which there are 2 houses. The other asset is funds. The reasons for judgment focused on the land.

The Plaintiff made extensive contributions to the land over approximately 43 years. He was not paid, though he lives in one of the two houses. He helped build the second house on the property, he paid half the utilities and property taxes, and he helped maintain the property. He also worked for 25 years on a garbage contract his father had, and again was not paid.

The Court found there was an unjust enrichment, and granted a constructive trust in favour of the Plaintiff over half the property. The terms of the Will contemplated a division of the property into four parts. This ruling gave the Plaintiff the house in which he lives, on half the property. It is a sort of indirect variation of the Will, but clearly the Plaintiff earned his remedy, over many years.

are now being assessed $355, 907 for daring to stand up for honesty in the election process.

So, eight average Canadian voters who protested the fraudulent actions of a political party whose intent was to deprive them of their votes, are being financially punished.

In my view, they should all get medals for standing up to this undemocratic assault on Canadians’ right to vote.

But medals won’t pay their legal bills.

I personally intend to donate to their legal costs at www.canadians.org/democracy247.

The Editor, Am I the only Canadian voter who is dumbstruck by Judge Mosely’s decision on the “robocalls” case?

Perhaps others are just too amazed to comment. Judge Mosely confirmed that these calls (which were found to lead back to the Conservative Party’s data base) directly targeted non-Conservative voters and directed them to the wrong polls.

The judge confirmed fraud was committed, and yet did not find the Conservative Party guilty of fraud, but found against the eight Canadian voters who went to court to expose this electorial fraud.

Due to this finding, these eight people

More money for public, less in council pockets The Editor, Can I ask if there is a single Richmond taxpayer who has been awarded salary increases of 72 per cent over the last seven years? Is there anyone anywhere near that figure?

But our mayor and council consider it is their Godgiven right to award themselves these obscene increases every year knowing that there isn’t a single thing that the public can do to stop them.

It’s that simple.

The taxpayers can do nothing to prevent these increases going through.

And last Monday (July 1), most of them were at The Steveston Salmon Festival with their fixed phoney smiles, the ones they reserve for all photo-ops and thinking, “How much are we going to hit these mugs up for next year?”

Then they laugh all the way to the bank.

How do they have the gall to show their faces in public?

Taking the synagogue to their homes

Buddhism is one religion that’s faring better than most in the Lower Mainland, inlcuding Richmond. The Buddhist Lingyen Temple on No. 5 Road is preparing a presentation to city council for a massive expansion.

Losing our religion, Buddhism bucks trend

BY A LAN C AMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

With every passing generation, attendance at religious services and affiliation to a recognized faith in Canada wanes.

According to analysis conducted by the U.S.-based Pew Forum — which has conducted research on religion and public life in Canada — rates of attendance at religious services declined steeply in the 1980s and 1990s, followed by more modest declines during the most recent decade.

Like the rising number of religiously unaffiliated adults, the decline in attendance at religious services is driven, according to the Forum, in part by “generational replacement.”

Younger generations of Canadians report attending religious services less frequently than do older generations.

For example, 43 per cent of Canadians born between 1934 and 1943 reported attending religious services at least once a month in 2008.

But only 31 per cent of the subsequent age bracket (born 1944-1953) said they attended religious services monthly or more in the same year.

And the most recent group to be studied (born 1954 and later) reported attending religious services even less frequently.

The figures paint an unflattering portrait of religious support across modernday Canada.

But it’s not a surprising trend to people like John Stackhouse, an eminent professor of theology and culture at Vancouver’s Regent College.

“The most important problem religions face in British Columbia is the same problem faced by any serious people trying to interest the public in serious issues: distraction,” Stackhouse

told the News.

“We spend billions of dollars a year distracting ourselves from the ‘big issues’ of life; from our smartphones to our leisure activities, to our workaholism, to our kids — who has time to think about ‘ultimate reality.’ So we don’t.

“And we hope, every once in a while when we’re on vacation or sitting in a hospital waiting room, that we’re not, in fact, on the wrong road, heading for very big trouble.”

Stackhouse said the popularity of a specific religion will rise and fall, and

“And we hope, every once in a while...that we’re not, in fact, on the wrong road, heading for very big trouble.”

— John Stackhouse

some disappear altogether.

“So not all ‘religion’ is ‘relevant,’” he explained.

“Religion is a map of reality and a guidebook to making your way through the world with that map.

“Those maps that prove themselves to be useful continue to be passed along from one successful navigator to another.

Those that give bad guidance are eventually discarded.”

Faiths that, for the last 10 to 20 years, have survived or bucked that downward spiral are the ones that “connect with people’s feelings, minds, fears and hopes,” Stackhouse suggested.

“Some religions cater to our more noble characteristics, some to our less noble,” he said.

“Success, in terms of numerical growth and wealth, can come either way.”

One of those religions that’s faring better than most in B.C., the Lower Mainland and in Richmond is Buddhism.

Currently, the Buddhist Lingyen Temple on No. 5 Road’s “Highway to Heaven” is preparing a presentation to city council for a massive expansion.

Paul Crowe, a professor at Simon Fraser University’s Department of Humanities (Chinese Intellectual and Religious History), said Buddhism, and Chinese Buddhism in particular, has been prevalent in Canada since the 18th century.

“When the Chinese come, they bring with them their traditions,” said Crowe, an Englishman by birth, who was raised a Catholic.

Various government policies over the last 50 years or so have determined the flow of immigrants from Asia and, by default, influenced the demand for certain religious services.

In 1968, the Lower Mainland’s first Buddhist temple was built, the “Universal” in Vancouver.

“Back then, there was a fairly low profile for Chinese Buddhism,” said Crowe.

“It wasn’t until the late ’80s, early ’90s, that the bigger temples started to develop around Vancouver and Richmond.

“More and more Asian people migrated into the area and were looking to continue their traditions from their homeland.

“These people are still coming, there’s no doubt about that, and these temples continue to need space.”

Ever since the dawn of civilization and the birth of religion, people have been drawn to their respective places of worship.

It’s a luxury that, for centuries, many faiths took for granted.

More and more, however — and in the last decade in particular — the 41-year-old Beth Tikvah Jewish synagogue in Richmond has been reversing the roles.

Whether it’s calling a member of the congregation on the phone with a birthday greeting or going to their home at a time of loss, Beth Tikvah’s Rabbi Claudio Kaiser-Blueth’s work is never done.

“We have to make constant calls and keep in constant contact with our members; bringing them to us,” said Kaiser-Blueth, an Argentinian of American citizenship, who’s been at Beth Tikvah on Geal Road for 10 years.

“We very much have to take the synagogue to their homes. There’s a lot of calls and time invested, following up on birthdays, weddings, happy occasions and, of course, sad times as well.”

It’s a constant fight, said Kaiser-Bleuth, “but it’s impossible to reach everybody.”

Beth Tikvah enjoys around 270 “units” within its congregation; a number which represents each member — not including extended family — and a figure which the rabbi describes as “very stable.”

Adding to that number with new blood, however, is proving to be an unenviable task, but not one that’s peculiar to Judaism in the city.

“It’s not easy at all, especially when the economy is struggling, because it’s tough for people to afford to come and live in Richmond,” said Kaiser-Bleuth.

“We’re not an exception though; I think it’s difficult for many of us.

“And I think the secularization of life hits every religion and has no boundaries.”

But, said Kaiser-Blueth, it’s not just about packing as many bodies as possible into the synagogue.

“It’s not a question of quantity, it’s a question of the quality of the service we can offer.”

Anglican Rev. thinking outside the pew

BY ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Rev. Brian Vickers, of St. Anne’s Anglican Church, is considering major changes in a bid to attract more people.

Playing different music, merging congregations and even switching the primary day of worship away from a Sunday.

These are all tactics being considered by one of Richmond’s three Anglican churches in a bid to remain relevant in today’s society.

Although congregations have remained fairly steady over the last few years at St. Anne’s on Francis and No. 1 roads, Reverend Brian Vickers is not blind to the fact his pews are not exactly bursting at the seams.

For their first Sunday service at 8:30 a.m., St. Anne’s — a 300-capacity church — attracts 20 to 25 people.

And for their main service at 10 a.m., the number varies between 60 and 85.

“People are busy; they lead very busy lives,” reflected Vickers.

“The church used to be the only show in town on a Sunday and that’s not the case

anymore.

“Children are involved in lots of activities and it’s a constant challenge to attract families to join us. Sunday, for some, is the only day the family gets a chance to rest.”

The challenge, for Vickers and many clergy like him, is to think differently, nontraditionally and very much out-of-thebox; perhaps offering services that attract people who wouldn’t normally be able to come out on a Sunday.

“I’m not sure Sunday morning is practical anymore,” he said.

“And maybe we should think about different music? The challenge there is finding the right people to give us that music, not just traditional hymns.

“Maybe more contemporary; I’m open to looking at different types of music.”

As far as the demographics of his flock go, Vickers, who’s been at St. Anne’s for almost four years, acknowledged it’s “mainly older people, but we do have 15 to 18 children.”

“It’s a challenge for many churches these days (to remain relevant).

“I don’t think people want to join an institution. We’re seeking to give people an experience of God and helping them to grow in their spirituality.”

To remain a consideration in today’s society and simply not wither away with old age, St. Anne’s has been mulling, for 18 months or so, a merger with one of the other Anglican churches, St Alban’s.

“We’re seeking to do more together and we’ve already had joint services,” Vickers added. “(The merger) is something we’ve been looking at for a while now.”

As ever, weddings, funerals and baptisms offer the best chance for Vickers to reach into the corners of his community and expose people to the church and what it has to offer.

“The church is open to all people for any of those reasons, no matter if you’re a regular member or not.”

Because we don’t have a crystal ball to predict the future and know that someone is going to become, as an example, a raging alcoholic when they are 50 years old.

Bonus warning: marriage is a lot of work.

It is not all good times and you will be challenged to grow, be flexible, and to compromise.

If you have any doubts about the person you are thinking about marrying, listen to your instincts.

If there are any red flags, don’t brush them off. If there are already problems with respect, communication, and division of responsibility, it’s best to walk away early or work them out in counselling prior to making a commitment to marry someone or to have children with them.

Continued from page 14 find true love, but starting life over has its challenges too.

When children are involved, it is even more painful for everyone. Divorce may have been the best, or the only, option given the circumstances of the marriage, but justified or not, children will still be hurt by it.

Of course, there are many well-adjusted children of divorce who have been able to blossom with the love of both parents and possibly two fantastic step-parents. There are also many happy and thriving children of single parents.

But in my experience, even the stable, successful children who intellectually understand that the divorce of their parents was necessary and resulted in a better environment for them to grow up in, a tiny part of their emotional inner child still wishes that their parents didn’t have to get divorced.

Even if we all knew how to communicate respectfully and skilfully to resolve conflict, if we were all emotionally mature enough to contribute to a marriage in an equal and

Gateway Theatre wraps up successful fundraiser JOHN CORREA SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

BY YVONNE ROBERTSON

yrobertson@richmond-news.com

Over the next few weeks, the second and third floor walls of the Gateway Theatre will begin to look bare as artwork is taken down, wrapped and given to its new owners.

The theatre closed bidding for its silent auction fundraiser last Monday at For photos of noon, after a last minute artists with rush of callers cast their their works ballots, hoping to slide in on top.

“The phone was ringing off the hook Monday morning,” said Susan Ness, vice chair of the board and co-chair of the fundraising committee. “It was a really positive fundraiser. The community came out and supported us throughout.”

The fundraiser launched on May 1 and saw 53 pieces donated by 43 local artists

Susan Ness, one of the organizers of the For the Love of Art fundraiser, holds up one of the pieces she bid on.

hung on the theatre’s walls. Of the 53, 28 items were bid on —even enticing some aggressive bidding wars.

One of the more popular pieces was Rainbow by Charlene Mui, a portrait of a Chihuahua in bright colours. Works by

Jeanette Jarville and Jean Garnett also generated a lot of excitement, according to Ness.

The value of each work ranged from $300 to $1,200. In total, $3,725 was raised for programming at the theatre.

This year was the first time Gateway

held the silent auction. After a launch party, people proceeded to bid on pieces throughout May and June.

In the past, the theatre has held a cocktail party, where guests bought a ticket and went home with a work of art. However, the lottery system meant attendees were not guaranteed their first choice.

“Having the auction allowed us to open up the art to a wider variety of people,” said Ness. “It was more accessible to a greater spectrum throughout the community.”

Although the auction didn’t raise as much as the Cocktail Party has done in previous years, its reach included people who drop by the theatre for other community events, not just for Gateway produced nights.

At this point, there are no plans to repeat the auction next year, according to Ness, but she didn’t rule out the possibility in coming years. The committee also hasn’t yet decided what will happen with the pieces that weren’t bid on.

coloured vinyl became very popular, as did picture sleeves on the 45 rpm records and the great sounding 12 rpm records and remixes, which had its big time in the new wave and disco era.

By the mid-’80s, the record companies were ready to introduce the compact disc and push the new format into the market. Almost overnight, vinyl disappeared from the record shops as the record companies stopped releasing any big artist on vinyl, let alone the smaller ones, forcing CDs on the general public.

But the vinyl market would not go away and record fairs became the place to buy and exchange vinyl during this period. Happily, the classic albums from the ’50s and ’60s onwards are once again available today on vinyl along with the new releases. Let’s see if the iPod is around in five years time, let alone 50 like vinyl.

The great thing about the newer acts releasing vinyl is that some of them include free downloads as well.

Many people come into my shop and tell me they still have their records and turntables. I urge you all to make room on your stereo units, plug-in your record players and enjoy again the unique experience of listening to vinyl through your hi-fi speakers or headphones.

We will see what the future brings.

Turning on the TV should not take half an hour.

I could use the Windows tablet all the time, but attaching it to the TV and then detaching it for tablet duty is awkward.

If I were starting from scratch tomorrow, I’d get an Apple TV or a Roku or both and be done with it. If I wanted U.S. Internet access, I’d go with a service called Unblockus and run it through a second router attached to the Apple TV and Roku.

The kicker is that since that night, everything has worked fine. The server, the consoles, Netflix and Hulu all are working as expected.

Why? I have no idea. I’m just a pioneer.

My Way (2010): With an unfortunate Frank Sinatra-ish title, this wartime Korean epic of two frenemies apparently came after the director saw Saving Private Ryan, Enemy at the Gates, Gallipoli and Chariots of Fire and then took a weekend seminar in filmmaking co-run by Oliver Stone and Michael Bay. It’s ridiculous and amazing, and threatens to turn into a half decent story of regular people ground up in the brutal machinery of history. Two takeaways: 1. it’s refreshing to see tired Second World War themes from an Asian perspective; 2. if Korea can make movies so grand in scale, why can’t Canada?

Moxin kicking for Team BC in Winnipeg

MARK BOOTH/RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond Ospreys battled the West Vancouver Rockettes in recent Greater Junior Field Hockey League U15 tier one action at Minoru Park.

Richmond kicker Tyler Moxin will be suiting up for U16 Team BC at the 2013 Red River Cup in Winnipeg which gets underway Sunday.

Of the 40 players named, 11 played this past season either primarily with or partially with a BC Community Football Association team while 31 of the players were involved with a BC High School Football team.

“We are very pleased with the level of competition and improvement through the evaluation process,” Team BC head coach, defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Sean Roden. “We believe that the combination of hungry and spirited players that have been selected position us well for success.”

BC plays North Saskatchewan and Winnipeg West to open the tournament.

Francisco is one of eight players who is also part of the senior national team program. Seven of her UBC teammates are on the junior squad.

Last November, the Richmond Field Hockey alumni backstopped the Thunderbirds to their 14th CIS national championship.

“Due to the large cross over of our athletes, the

integration of both the JWC and Senior group has been extremely effective for both groups and we have been able to efficiently manage the development and enhancement of the entire squad as such,” said senior national team head coach Ian Rutledge The team heads to Europe July 21 with training in Germany and a practice match in England.

A busy summer of lacrosse will include suiting up for the Burnaby Mountain Selects Boys Varsity Elite Team for Quinton Bradley.

The soon-to-be Grade 12 student at McNair Secondary student will be heading to Baltimore, MD July 1521 for the national renowned Champ Camp.

Teams are selected to compete at Champ Camp by invitation only with an emphasis on assembling the top high school aged club teams in North America. Burnaby Mountain is the only program to be selected from Western Canada in the tournament’s 23-year history with 2013 being the fourth straight year that the Selects will be in attendance.

Games will be played over eight locations in the greater Baltimore area, including host sites Johns Hopkins University (NCAA Div I) and Towson University (NCAA Div I). While in Baltimore, the BMS Seniors will experience college life first-hand as they are housed in the university dorms on campus at Towson.

Bradley will also be busy with the box version of the sport as a member of the Richmond Roadrunners of the B.C.

Intermediate “A” Lacrosse League.

The Roadrunners now sit third in the league standings (11-3) after a couple of tough losses last week. Richmond dropped a 11-9 home floor decision to Maple Ridge Burrards, then fell 10-9 in overtime to the Victoria Shamrocks on Saturday. The locals capped a busy stretch by blasting the Langley Thunder 25-9 on Sunday.

The Burrards swept the season series from Richmond despite four goals from Braeden Jensen. Jayden Campbell added a pair with singles to Tyler Vogrig, Spencer Bromley and Connor Davidson.

Bromley had a five goal performance in Victoria as the Roadrunners nearly pulled out a big win despite having a short bench for the pivotal tilt. Campbell added a hat trick. The rout of Langley saw Tyler Vogrig pad his lead atop the league scoring race with 10 goals and three assists. Jensen added two goals and nine assists, while Bromley had nine points, including five goals. Brad Hoffman and Patrick Szabo each scored twice.

The Roadrunners return to action tonight when they visit the New West Salmonbellies.

Former Roadrunner standout Cody Nass is well on his way to winning the B.C. Junior “A”Lacrosse League scoring title and he will be doing it in a different uniform.

Nass, along with second leading scorer Eli McLaughlin, were dealt last week by the Delta Islanders to the New Westminster Salmonbellies in return for two roster players, prospects and draft picks.

The Islanders (11-8) are headed for the playoffs but opted to trade their top two snipers due to their goaltending situation. Richmond Lacrosse product Will Schwan has missed the entire season as he recovers from a series of concussions. Current Roadrunners goalie Ryland Hood has looked excellent in eight games as a call-up but is unavailable for the junior “A” playoffs due to other commitments, including his own team’s post-season run.

The key stipulation to the trade is Nass and McLaughlin’s playing rights revert back to Delta at the end of the year. New West currently sits in second place behind defending champion Coquitlam. Two B.C. teams will advance to the Minto Cup.

PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING Imperial Landing – Steveston, B.C.

The Onni Group is nearing completion of construction for the final phase of “The Village” at Imperial Landing, located at 4300 Bayview Street, which consists of six low-rise mixed-use buildings.

The existing zoning restricts commercial uses to those that are limited to the maritime industry including industrial and manufacturing. The Onni Group has submitted a rezoning application to the City requesting additional community-based commercial/retail uses.

Date/Time: Thurs., July 11, 2013 from 6:30pm - 9:00pm Sat., July 13, 2013 from 12:00pm – 2:30pm Location: Building 5 at Imperial Landing 4280 Bayview Street, Richmond Contact: Brendan Yee at byee@onni.com or 604-602-7711.

Visit our website: www.waterfrontrezoning.com Please join us at the scheduled open houses listed above. We would like your feedback on what types of commercial/retail uses you feel are appropriate for the community. Onni representatives and our consultant team will be on-hand to answer any questions regarding the proposal and to gather community feedback.
