Police say speeding Aston Martin slammed victim’s stationary SUV

BY ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

One person is dead and three are critically injured after a horrific highspeed multi-vehicle crash at a major intersection.

Westminster Highway at Knight Street was sealed off for most of Wednesday afternoon and evening after the 3:30 p.m. smash.

One of the drivers was pronounced

dead at the scene of the carnage, which involved eight vehicles.

Two others were airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries after emergency crews tried desperately to peel drivers from the twisted wreckage.

A fourth driver was taken by ground ambulance to hospital with severe injuries.

“An Aston Martin convertible was westbound on Westminster Highway and collided with a Mercedes SUV that

was standing still in traffic, causing a multi-vehicle chain reaction,” said Cpl. Sherrdean Turley, of Richmond RCMP. “The convertible was travelling at an extremely high rate of speed.”

The two female occupants of the convertible are in their mid-40s and were air-lifted to hospital with life threatening injuries.

They have since undergone surgery and are in critical but stable condition. ! Full story at www.richmond-news.com

Missing man victim of foul play: Police Murder investigators have been called in to probe the disappearance of a Richmond man who’s been missing for more than two weeks.

Police believe Kiem Cuong Yip, 45, has been the victim of foul play and are appealing to the public for

help in the case.

Yip, who goes by the name Steven, was last heard from on April 20, when he spoke with a family member on the phone.

Yip has no criminal record and is not known to police.

He was driving a grey

2003 Toyota Corolla at the time of his disappearance.

Anyone with information on the location of Yip or his car is asked to call IHIT at 1-877-551-4448 or CrimeStoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.

Candidates make one final pitch to voters

BY PHILIP RAPHAEL Special to the News

Richmond candidates looking to score some lastminute points with voters before they head to the polls May 14 made their pitches at the final all candidates meeting Wednesday night.

Organized by the Touchstone Family Association, the group answered questions from a packed room at the Vancouver Marriott Hotel that ranged from where candidates stood on adding gay

and lesbian topics to the high school curriculum, and what their stance is on boosting B.C.’s minimum wage.

Nathaniel Lim, the BC Conservatives candidate in Richmond East said his party’s position on education is to provide more input from parents on what schools should offer.

“If there are certain electives they want in schools they (parents) can work with the teachers and administration,” Lim said.

Gian Sihota, the NDP’s candidate in Richmond East

said the subject was a question of human rights and equality.

“And the BC NDP’s record is very clear on this human rights issue,” he added. “There’s no way in this society that any person should be discriminated against based on their own choices.”

Incumbent BC Liberal MLA Linda Reid, who is a teacher, said a strong curriculum is critical for youngsters grappling with the issue of their sexuality.

“Because, it is about dig-

Richard Lee, independent candidate for Richmond Centre, makes one final point to the audience before the last all-candidates meeting wraps Wednesday night. nity,” Reid said. “I believe very much we need to support our family members, your family members, because we do not have the right to make that choice for anyone else.”

On subject of eliminating child poverty in B.C. — estimated to be the second highest in the country — Richard Lee, independent candidate for Richmond Centre, delivered an impas-

sioned response that detailed his own family’s struggle with poverty.

Lee said that when he filed his papers to run in the election he committed to see Issues page 4

Buddhist temple expansion to be toned down Community input sought before fresh rezoning bid at Lingyen on No. 5 Road

BY ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

Plans to expand a Buddhist temple — which have rubbed neighbours the wrong way for nine years — may soon be back in front of city council.

This time, however, the Lingyen Temple on No. 5 Road’s “Highway to Heaven” is seeking community input before submitting any fresh rezoning application to city hall.

Over the last couple of months, a planning consultant working on behalf of the temple has conducted a phone survey and an open house to once again gauge what’s burning the local community’s skin with regard to the project.

According to consultant Gary Pooni, of Brook Pooni Associates, the majority of

people in the area are more willing to accept the expansion if the proposed height dropped down from 140 to 100 feet and the taller buildings were place at the back of the property.

Traffic and parking issues are also still a bone of contention with the locals.

And both the height and traffic concerns will, said Pooni, be reflected in a new draft proposal, which is expected to be shown to the public before the summer and before being submitted to city hall.

“We wanted to ask the neighbourhood first as there is obviously a lot of questions about the temple,” said Pooni, referring to the phone survey conducted by Stratacom, which

randomly canvassed an area bound by: No. 4 Road to the west; Highway 99 to the east; Kingsbridge to the north and the Fraser River to the south.

“We found the community was quite sympathetic and, provided certain things were dealt with, the acceptance levels went up.”

According to the results, 51 per cent of those surveyed would accept a height of 100 feet (a 2.5-storey increase) or higher for the main building.

The survey found the remaining 49 per cent would be more accepting if the height increase was at the back of the property and restricted to symbolic or localized elements, see Day page 6

Issues: Child poverty, min. wage Continued from page 3 donate half of his MLA’s pension and wages to widows, seniors, single parents and orphans in memory of his mother who passed away two years ago at age 89.

“She was widowed at age 32, and brought the four of us (siblings) up in child poverty conditions,” Lee said. “And she was orphaned at age four. And I lost my father when I was four. So, I will do this in loving memory of my Advance Voting: May 8 - 11

Linda Reid

mother of whom I am so proud.”

Carol Day, the BC Conservatives candidate in Richmond-Steveston praised Lee’s stand.

“That’s the kind of independent thinking we need in government,” she said.

“Let’s get creative.”

Day went on to say that as a former school trustee she has seen the effects of child poverty first-hand.

“I was appalled at how many kids don’t have any food in their belly when they go to school in the morning,” she said.

Day said her party’s plan to reduce the numbers is by bringing businesses back to B.C. and provide more jobs.

“That way there are no hungry kids if there are no hungry parents.”

John Yap, the BC Liberal incumbent for Richmond-Steveston said child poverty is an important issue for all candidates, regardless of their political stripe.

“How we get to a place where we resolve and deal with this issue is where our differences approach,” he said, adding the BC Liberals believe the best way to handle the matter is creating jobs.

“That’s why we have focused our campaign on a strong economy for a strong future, and that secure future includes lifting up people who are low-

income.”

The final question of the night broached the subject of addressing the minimum wage.

Scott Stewart, the BC NDP candidate in Richmond-Steveston said the minimum wage has to strike a delicate balance between being one people can live on, and what employers can afford to pay.

“But it must be tied to the cost of living,” he added.

“We cannot expect people to try and maintain a standard of living in their homes while the cost of everything goes up, and the minimum wage waits and sits at the bottom.”

FOR

A young Richmond driver was one of eight ticketed and towed after being caught doing almost double the speed limit on the Sea to Sky Highway.

Both West Vancouver Police and Squamish RCMP received calls Friday around 11:30 p.m. that a bunch of cars were zipping soutbound on Highway 99 near Furry Creek.

The RCMP’s regional traffic patrol helicopter, Air One, began tracking the cars by air and they were estimated to be traveling in excess of 140 kilometres per hour, nearly double the posted 80 km/h limit.

The chopper continued to follow the cars until West Vancouver police were able to set up a roadblock on Highway 1 and stop the cars.

All eight vehicles were immediately towed and impounded for a week, while the drivers were given tickets for excessive speed.

The drivers ranged in age from 21 to 25, with six hailing from Vancouver, one from Richmond and another from Surrey.

Vehicles impounded include five Nissan 240SX models, ranging in vintage from 1989 to 1997. Also impounded were a 1989 Nissan Skyline, a 1992 Toyota MKII, and a 2000 Acura Integra. According to police, all the vehicles appeared to feature various high-performance modifications.

Continued from page 3 rather than the building itself.

Another 80 or so people attended last week’s open house, where further input was collected.

Near neighbour and local activist Carol Day, who has led the opposition to the expansion from the outset, left the open house with mixed feelings.

“I went there really hope-

ful that they would build under 100 feet, but I get the feeling they want to go higher,” said Day. “I still don’t understand why they don’t stick to the 84-feet bylaw. I was optimistic they would stick to the bylaw, but I was told at the open house that ‘bylaws change all the time.’”

The temple will come forward with a “much more modest proposal” added Pooni.

In 2010, the City of Richmond asked the temple’s architect to temporarily withdraw the application after the city decided to launch a comprehensive review of its No. 5 Road Backlands Policy. The policy allows assembly uses, including religious institutions, to locate on property within the Agricultural Land Reserve in an area sandwiched between No. 5 Road and Highway 99.

Voting for responsibility

I

f you don’t vote, you give up your right to complain.

If you aren’t willing to contribute to the democratic process at election time, how can you justify complaints about the outcome?

Provincially, the voter turnout dropped to a dismal 50 per cent last time British Columbians went to the polls, in 2009 — a drop of eight full percentage points from the previous election. Richmond Centre had the second lowest!

While millions around the world fervently wish — and tens of thousands die — for what we enjoy in Canada, we have lost our understanding of the difference between our rights and our responsibilities in a democracy.

To put it simply: our rights for ourselves are what we put at risk by failing to maintain our responsibilities to each other.

It’s easy to blame the politicians — their equivocation, their disingenuousness, their self-serving disregard for the citizens who place their trust in them.

But that’s just another excuse. They wouldn’t get away with their questionable antics without the complicity of an apathetic citizenry. Our disregard for the role expected of them results in their disregard for exercise of that role.

Get out and vote on Tuesday (or earlier, at the advance polls), or voice your complaints about the outcome to the only person who is really responsible: yourself.

CHOICE WORDS Director of Advertising: Rob Akimow rakimow@ richmond-news.com

We must evolve to accept The Editor, Three recent events have prompted me to write. First, the media coverage about the coming out of NBA star Jason Collins.

Secondly, a group of women friends discussing whether or not there is a need for a Gay volleyball league. Thirdly, on a recent visit to Steveston, a group of middle-aged patrons joking about a server’s sexuality.

The response to Collins has been mixed and highlights some of the prevailing attitudes about homosexuality in our culture.

Some people have called him a hero. Others have said it is no one’s business, who really cares.

Regardless of where we all sit with our beliefs about homosexuality, there is still discrimination and outright hatred towards people who identify as lesbian, gay, transgendered, bisexual, or queer (LGTBQ).

Why is it important for sports figures, celebrities, or people in positions of power to acknowledge their sexuality? Because young people need to know their “difference” is shared with others. Why is it important to have a gay volleyball league? Because there is still inequality, discrimination and lack of safety for people from the LGTBQ community.

Some of us might feel there is no longer a need to make a big deal about someone’s sexuality. However, not everyone has evolved their thinking, their words and their actions.

Coretta Scott King wrote: “Homophobia is like racism, antiSemitism and other forms of bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood.”

I can accept that homosexuality may not align with someone’s religious beliefs, but treating others with respect and rejecting discrimination should be something we can all agree on.

Choose only the best exotic pet for you People often ask me, “Matthew, what is the best exotic pet, and where can I get one?” Yes, maybe I prompt them extensively, or even slip them $5 just for asking, but it is a good question, and one I enjoy answering.

Obviously, you don’t want to get a baby macaque in a shearling coat. For one thing, everyone has one of those these days.

On my drive home last week, I passed two vans and a former fruit stand, all selling rhesus monkeys, mandrills, squirrel monkeys, and howler monkeys. Most of them were wearing cheap nylon jackets, too.

Nor do you want to pick up a poisonous snake (bitey) a constrictor (strangley) a large predatory cat (bitey again) or a member of the crocodile family (spin you underwater and hide your carcass under a log until you rot-y).

Instead, you should get a time machine. It’s not hard, just make a note in your diary that today is the day you want your future self to turn up with your new pet. Remember to have gas money for your future self; time machines are not that fuel efficient, even after the passage of the Chronocatalytic Converter Act of 2034.

With all of time and space to sort through, I do have some special advice for an exotic pet owner. ! Velociraptors. Yes, everyone has seen Jurassic Park. No, that is not what

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

you will get if you fill out an order form for a raptor.

First, real velociraptors are about the size of a smallish coyote. (There is a long and boring explanation about why the ones in the movie were so big, but according to some pesky court order, I am no longer allowed to ramble on about why this is so.)

Second, do not under any circumstances go to one of the cut-price raptor breeders. Some of them will pull out all the feathers to simulate a “Spielbergian” look. Their animals are also terribly inbred, and are prone to colour blindness, gum disease, hip dysplasia, sickle claw grot, and disemboweling their owners.

Better to get one yourself, from the late Cretaceous. Remember, if you can catch a wild raptor with your bare hands, without losing your face to a single claw swipe, it’s yours to keep. ! Big birds. If an aviary is more your style, try an argentavis. The largest bird ever, it had a 23-foot wingspan, and will certainly reduce the noise from your rural neighbours’ sheep and cattle once you start letting your pet out for daily flights. Or if you have a

pool, about 34 million years ago, there was a penguin species that hit 6’6” tall. If you can teach it to balance a ball on its nose, you’ve got a possible NBA player.

(There is no rule in the NBA that says a penguin can’t join a team.) ! Giant sloth. A favourite for those who enjoy taking their animals for leisurely walks. Really leisurely.

Really, pack a book and a camp stool.

In addition, remember that sloths like to dig a sort of latrine and defecate in the same place every day, so you may want to go with the deep pile shag carpet if you’re going to have an “inside sloth.” ! Megalodon. For someone with a good-sized aquarium, the largest shark ever known. Existed up to 1.5 million years ago, at which point nature freaked out and realized it had created a 50’-60’ giant killing machine, and promptly snuffed it out. ! Some random egg.

Any time between 220 to 66 million years ago, you can find nests full of eggs.

What’s inside? Finding out will be half the fun! Will it be a tiny, endearing sauropod that will grow four storeys tall and crush half your neighbourhood with swings of its tail, or a ravenous carnivore with teeth like daggers?

Either way, you’ll have hours of excitement, possibly ending abruptly.

Matthew Claxton writes for the Langley Advance.

Vision lacking for Steveston The Editor, As residents who choose to live in Steveston because of its maritime heritage and active commercial fishing industry, we are deeply concerned with how Richmond Council is confusing merely slowing development with conservation.

While we applaud the city for recognizing Steveston’s unique character and establishing the Steveston Conservation Area, a walk through the village in 2013 is depressing when we think back to what the same area looked like only 10 years ago.

As a result of surrendering to lobbying by developers, Council has allowed the heritage character of the village to be chipped away, one brick at a time, and there seems to be no end in sight.

A case in point is the “vision” put forward at the Steveston Village Conservation Strategy open house last weekend. While we are pleased with an amendment to reduce the maximum building height from three to two storeys, we are alarmed that the proposal includes a conspicuous pos-

sibility for exceptions. Can you think of a single developer who will not relentlessly lobby Council for every conceivable exception? There should be no exceptions.

Building more than two storeys will block sunlight to the street, lead to more traffic congestion and destroy the historic small-town atmosphere of the village.

Furthermore, if the Strategy includes the possibility of exceptions, are those of us who are intent on maintaining the heritage character of the village going to have to fight these developers every time a building is replaced?

The purpose of a strategy should be to bring predictability and stability, not to provide for exceptions that will most certainly become the rule.

The other problem with the city’s proposals is the entire “Bayview & Chatham Proposed Long-Term Streetscape Visions.” Unlike the Strategy, the Streetscape Visions has no merit whatsoever. Essentially, the city is proposing to spend nearly $4 million of our tax dollars to rip up the streets and side-

walks in order to provide for 50 more parking spaces and wider sidewalks! While we are pleased the city is active in helping with the summer parking problem in the village core, this “Vision” is no vision at all.

We have good news for Council and the taxpayers of Richmond: we do not need wider sidewalks, and between the existing underbuilding parking places, the Gulf of Georgia Cannery lot and the Steveston Harbour Authority lot, there are more than enough spaces for employees to park in order to make room for shoppers to park in the village core.

Besides, why is council so obsessed with manicuring every single square foot of Steveston? We happen to like the rustic atmosphere here.

We understand the need for communities to grow and adapt, but that growth should not come at the expense of eroding one of the last tiny heritage districts in the Lower Mainland.

Steveston’s heritage is worth fighting for.

Teenagers often get a bad rap. They’re rebellious, they have an attitude and can be overall difficult. But when this pent up energy is used for good, it’s transformed into idealism and creativity.

Take a group of Hugh McRoberts secondary students, for example. For the past six months, they’ve devoted their spare hours to installing a public art project without any extra credit.

“It’s really important for us to have this,” said Petri Daviel in Grade 12. “It’ll be great for the grades who come after us, just to have something really cool at our school.”

“When I come back to visit, I’ll see that I was part of this, and this is the result,”

Hugh McRoberts students work on a public art project for the back lot of the school.

school into a learning space with sculptures, a classroom table, trees and a garden.

As it currently stands, the area is an empty lot, leaving the students with nowhere to sit or eat their lunch.

They completed the demoulding of the public art sculptures last Friday, which meant taking them out of their casts to be cleaned and painted.

“Oh, today has been really exciting,” said art teacher Nicole Porter. “We were all so thrilled, all of us. The students have been excited and dedicated. We really wanted this to be student owned.”

Out in Friday’s sunshine, they were busy securing a mould casing to one of the sculptures, while local artist, Jasmine Reimer, peeled back the mould of another.

Groups of teachers and students looked on as she revealed two clay lockers buttressed together to form a bench.

With five in total, each bench has For more a smaller photos and sculpture a video of an item found in a locker such as a half-eaten sandwich or a backpack.

Steel legs will support each bench, except in the case of one, which will be held up by stacks of sculpted books.

“I like the presence the objects have by themselves without humans around,” said Reimer. “We’re their owners, but these are going to be out in the park, in the world, on their own. The sculpting process creates a nice dynamic between what’s real and what’s fake.”

The project has been six months in the making after Porter applied for, and received, a grant from the City of Richmond to work with Reimer.

“It’s been really interesting to hear [the students’] ideas and concepts regarding public art and sculpture,” said Reimer. “And surprising to find they had a very strong interest in doing something that was not only art, but something that was functional.”

Continued from page 12 they wanted to be involved in every step to gain hands-on experience, according to Porter, who added the group is a mix of grades and aren’t all in art class.

During the planning stages, they talked to Reimer about art and the importance of public art, walking around the city to see examples of it.

“Public art is good for the community because it makes art accessible,” said Crystal.

“When it’s public art, everybody can enjoy it and interact with it.”

The installation dovetails nicely with another project in the works for a larger learning space. Other McRoberts students, some who are involved in working with Reimer, approached teachers about transforming the lot behind the school into something “cooler”.

“We thought McRoberts needed a fresh new edition,” said Jordan Nguyen in Grade 10. “There’s not really a place for us to hang out.”

Teachers from all disciplines formed an RE3 committee (reclaim, re-imagine and recreate) and again sought input from the students.

Although still in the design stage, the lot hopes to become a place of learning for all subjects, as well as a social hub. It’s set to include a garden for biology class and still life drawings, complete with a long table that can seat a class.

Also planned for the space is a stage for drama and music performances.

“We hope to do more than just create a green space,” said Porter, who’s on the committee. “The whole thing has been a really significant and powerful experience for the students.”

A timeline for the learning space is yet to be determined and involves consultation with the adjoining South Arm Community Centre.

The speakers were preaching to the choir at Wednesday night’s annual Richmond Arts Awards when they talked about the importance of art in a society.

The ceremony comprised a who’s who of the Richmond art world out to show their support for a sector that’s always placed first on the chopping block when it comes to budget cuts.

“Art is an opportunity to be part of something bigger than yourself,” said Ian Forsyth, president of Creative City Network of Canada.

“It’s what makes a community have

shared stories and shared secrets, that bring them together. That’s what creates a culture of a community, those moments, those points of contact.”

With an emotional speech delivered by the first unsuspecting recipient, the night took off, awarding five other nominees who have made a difference.

“We were built on one child’s voice who deserved to be heard,” said Debbie Tobin, from the BC Children’s Art and Literacy Centre Society, which received the first award for Arts Education.

“Every child needs a champion and we’re so lucky to have hundreds of champions who support us.”

Since 2004, the society has provided teachers with the support to deliver the

about Jimi Hendrix — I love that.

So while HMV and other big record stores close and the world moves to digital and downloading, I’ll continue to stock vinyl albums of the Beatles to Billie Holliday, posters from Jimi Hendrix concerts — along side Carly Rae Jepsen and Josh Groban CDs. It might sound corny, but I see myself as a keeper of rock and roll history.

That said, anything worth keeping is also worth sharing with others, which is why I’m excited about the opportunity to write this column, “Talking Tunes,” for the Richmond News.

It will be a blend of … comedy, drama, history and humour! And maybe one or two horror stories.

How does returning to the GST effect me if I’m buying or selling a home?

4"6% Y9-ZVI*

X TNA OTICE

On April 1, 2013, the HST was replaced by the GST and PST. The 12% HST only applies to any NEW homes that will be transferred to a buyer before April 1st, 2013. The 5% GST only applies to NEW homes purchased after April 1, 2013. There is NO GST payable on USED HOMES. The GOOD NEWS is that the tax on service fees have now gone back to 5% on selling commissions for all sale transactions completing after April 1, 2013. The 2% BC Transition Tax may still apply on NEW homes, in some cases up to April 1, 2015. For more information on the transition tax, just give me a call!

final trading decisions.

Instead, investors give the PM full investment discretion over the portfolio, allowing the PM to act on available information quickly and efficiently, buying or selling positions when he or she sees fit.

This arrangement also helps with profit taking.

Many investors find it easy to buy positions, but difficult to sell when the time is right to pull the trigger.

Such sentiment is removed from the equation when the PM is making the decisions.

A BMO Psychology of Investing Report found that two-thirds of those polled have not been in total control of their emotions when investing.

A majority of Canadians have acted on impulse at least once. Investors like these have to establish rules or get advice that takes emotion out of the picture.

If they cannot remain rational and focused on the horizon, they will not accumulate sufficient funds to meet their long-term goals.

Oxford: City of spires, students and burnings

BY C HRIS M ILLIKAN Travel Writers’ Tales

A

n esteemed university town since the mid-13th century, Oxford recently “educates” us with some remarkable sights, starting with renowned Oxford University itself.

At first visitors like us are surprised to find no single campus and we soon realize that its 38 distinguished colleges are scattered throughout this walkable historic town. Too daunting a task to see them all, we concentrate on locating the earliest.

Lavishly embellished with gargoyle spigots and dramatic grotesques; towers and turrets; meticulous garden quads and even age-old climbing wisteria, we locate University 1249, which expelled Shelley for his unruly behaviour; Balliol, 1263; Merton, 1264; Exeter, 1314; Queens, 1340, where astronomer Edmund Halley studied and Jesus College founded by Elizabeth I. St Hilda’s was one of the first colleges to enroll women…in1893!

Historical city educates with some remarkable sights, stories through centuries

Considered the most beautiful with its pastoral riverside location, deer park and Addison Walk, Magdalen college’s square medieval bell tower still rises above High Street. Here, Roundhead rebels captured Charles I during the Civil War. Opposite, we find the Botanic Gardens established in 1621 to grow medicinal plants, as well as “to promote the furtherance of learning.”

The university’s Bodleian, one of Europe’s oldest libraries, houses 50,000 Latin manuscripts, 11,000 rare items such as a marriage contract on papyrus from 600 BC, Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary — the first published in English — and more than five million books!

Seating ourselves on the Divinity School’s archaic wooden benches, our guide tells us that for many years, oral examinations for all colleges were held in this hallowed chamber, the venerable teaching and examination room estab-

“There’s evidence that teaching went on here at Oxford as early as 1096,” she smiles, “And on through the ages, five Kings, 25 British prime ministers and esteemed writers such as Oscar Wilde, CS Lewis and JRR Tolkein studied in reading rooms upstairs.”

The Bodleian added circular 18th century Radcliffe Camera (“camera” meaning “room” in Italian) in the square next door.

Considered the most aristocratic of all the colleges, Christ Church College’s 12th century Norman cathedral serves all

of Oxford; its Tom Tower great bell tolls each evening at 9 o’clock.

As well, other academic institutions around the world have replicated some of this college’s distinctive architectural features.

In addition to academics, this magnificent college has long been connected with children’s literature and more recently, with movie making.

Years ago, Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was written here.

The historic Trout Inn’s terrace, a favourite haunt around Oxford for Colin Dexter’s popular fictional detective, Inspector Morse.

Continued from page 24 and Philip Pullman’s novel Northern Lights were set throughout this college.

And we visit wizard world during our enchanting afternoon, locating spots where magical scenes for JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series were filmed: around Tom quad, the 1000-year-old cloisters and spectacular 16th century staircase leading to high-ceilinged Great Hall, the inspiration for Hogwarts Great Hall.

Established in 1683, Britain’s first public museum helped educate this scholarly community.

The Ashmolean was originally built to house a remarkable collection of curiosities donated to Oxford University by Elias Ashmole.

Nowadays, five floors of galleries exhibit extensive, wondrous collections including Egyptian sculptures; Michaelangelo’s drawings; antiquities from Knossis and Pisarro’s Portrait of Jeanne.

Oxford also exudes English history all along its winding cobbled streets.

At the junction of four ancient routes in the town centre, the remains of 13th century St. Martin’s church rises 23-metres.

Climbing the tower’s 99 narrow stone steps, we gaze over Oxford’s spires, and identify Saxon Tower dating to1040, the city’s oldest structure.

Afterward, we stroll the remains of Oxford Castle near the birthplace of King Richard and brother John. The Martyr’s Memorial recalls Catholic Queen Mary’s burning of three Anglican Bishops in 1535.

And, as devoted fans of Colin Dexter’s Inspector Morse, we make a pilgrimage to his posh bar in the Randolph Hotel across the street.

A bus later takes us to the 17th century Trout Inn just outside Oxford, another of the detective’s favourite haunts.

Seated on its sunny terrace sipping Pimms, we watch mallards cadge tidbits, gaze into the rushing Thames and visualize Morse seated at the next table. Our server observes, “Long before being featured in the Morse novels, the Trout was a popular hangout for earlier writers…like C.S. Lewis.”

And in gardens across the river we sight a sculptured lion, Aslan from his Narnia tales!

Back downtown, the Victorian-styled Town Hall’s museum provides two small galleries that teach us about Oxford’s development since its 810 founding.

In the modern gallery, we take four virtual bike rides around town, reviewing sites we’d already encountered on foot, a perfect way to wrap up our informative stay in Oxford.

GOLF

Few brands challenge Volkswagen’s compact car

BY MALCOLM GUNN Special to the News

The formula for producing the GTI is a simple one.

Start with one standardissue Volkswagen Golf two- or four-door hatchback, drop in a spunky engine and other sporty content and watch them literally fly out of dealer showrooms.

%

Sounds straightforward enough, yet surprisingly few automotive brands have dared challenge Volkswagen’s threedecade-long domination of the performance-infused compact-car niche.

And the few that do, including Mazdaspeed3, Honda Civic Si, Mini Cooper and most recently the Ford Focus ST, have a tough fight on their hands.

The sixth-generation GTI that came to our shores for the 2010 model year is due for replacement late this year or the spring of next, and will originate from VW’s production facility in Puebla, Mexico.

That means if you’re looking to acquire an honest-to-goodness Germanmanufactured GTI, this could be your final opportunity.

Since it is Golf-based, the GTI benefits from that model’s uncomplicated design and generously sized hatch opening.

From that point, VW replaces the nose with a blacked-out egg-crate grille and installs a larger air intake and running lights below the bumper.

And for that final

Whether two or four doors, the hatchback design is as practical as it gets so you’ll never be accused of being frivolous while pleasing your sporty side.

touch, the GTI comes with a set of unique 18-inch “Detroit” alloy wheels that can be easily spotted from afar.

Of course the GTI

shares the Golf ’s ability to stow about as much luggage as most mid-size sedans.

It can more than triple its normal cargo space for

accommodating bulkier objects when the 60:40 split rear seat is folded flat.

That makes the GTI a see Driving page 28

DriveTime Driving: Thicker, flat bottom steering wheel is convenient Continued from page 26 useful as well as a sporty vehicle.

The GTI further distances itself from mainstream Golfs with its well-bolstered front seats with plaid inserts, as did

the very first GTI. For driving convenience there’s a thicker flat-bottom steering wheel, size-large tachometer and speedometer and brushed aluminum pedals.

Drivers will enthuse over the standard 2.0-litre turbocharged

four-cylinder engine that generates 200 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque.

By comparison, base Golfs make do with a 2.5-litre fivecylinder with 170 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque.

The turbo-four functions

through a six-speed manual transmission or optional dualclutch automated manual gearbox (DSG).

The former comes with hill hold assist that gives you sufficient time to move your right foot from the brake pedal to the

accelerator without having the car roll backward.

Selecting the DSG assures you of rapid-fire shifts, in as little as four-hundredths of a second (much faster than your typical automatic transmission), see GTI page 29

On May 14th Elect Drive Time Ping Chan GTI: Competent sports car PHOTO SUBMITTED

The dashboard is likely the most extravagant Volkswagen dash design.

With other models, it’s classy and understated, while the GTI trumpets a little extra.

Continued from page 28 and contributes to the GTI’s estimated fuel economy of 8.7 l/100 km in the city and 6.3 on the highway, compared to 9.9/6.7 if you stick with the stick.

Gear changes can be left to the transmission to figure out or they can be controlled manually using finger-controls on the steering wheel (or by toggling the floor shifter).

The DSG also includes a launchcontrol program that, when the GTI is stopped, allows you to rev up the engine before the clutch is engaged. The result is an extra-quick start compared to a manual-trans versions, with virtually zero wheelspin.

On the open road, the sport-tuned suspension, consisting of stiffer front and rear anti-sway bars, helps the GTI remain relatively flat through the turns while maximizing steering control. In addition,

larger-diameter front and rear disc brake rotors deliver some serious stopping power for the 1,375-kilogram hatchback.

GTI pricing begins at $30,800 ($31,800 for the four-door), which includes destination charges, all the gofast stuff plus most key comfort necessities. A convenience package featuring a power sunroof and touch-screen audio controls is optional.

Beyond that, adding a navigation system, push-button start, leather-covered seats, pivoting headlights, premium sound system and more exotic wheels will push your acquisition cost well into the $40,000 region.

However you choose to equip your GTI, you will be piloting a seriously competent sports machine famous for its quick reflexes and with a level of roadholding agility that other compact models of any stripe can only dream of.

Dominant run began after loss in November for U15 United

BY MARK BOOTH

mbooth@richmond-news.com

What seemed like nothing more than mid-season league encounter, proved to be the turning point in U15 Richmond United’s dream campaign to date.

The Metro boys soccer team was off to an impressive 6-1-1 start that included a convincing 4-1 win over the Port Moody AC Selects. However, the defending Coastal Cup champion sent a stern message in the rematch nine weeks later, handing the locals a 5-1 defeat.

“The boys were upset with their performance and had a players only meeting to talk about it,” recalled Richmond coach Jonathan Kallner.

United would not lose again, steamrolling to the league championship with 12-2-2 record then reaching the Coastal Cup final with two more victories, including a 7-1 thrashing of Port Moody in the semi-finals. They completed the impressive run with a hardfought 1-0 win in extra time over the Saanich Fushion last Sunday at Richmond High.

A year earlier, this 1998 age group was the only Richmond United team not to win the Coastal Cup despite enjoying success

in tournaments. The locals lost one of their key players to the B.C. Premier Soccer League but the minus turned into a plus as everyone elevated their game and continued to mature as players

with the help of Richmond Youth Soccer technical director Roberto Scascia.

“They have been consistently working with him for the last three years,” continued Kallner. “His

development work and the coaching feedback with these kids has been terrific.”

United still had their hands full in the final against a determined opponent. Saanich looked to be in

serious trouble when a player was issued a red card for a foul just 25 minutes into the match. However, the Island squad held its own with 10 men through regulation play.

Just when it looked like 20 minutes of extra time wouldn’t determine a winner, a Richmond player was brought down in the box in the dying seconds. Captain Shane Rozen-Delman converted from the penalty spot and United had pulled out a dramatic win.

“That was the best team we have played all season,” added Kallner. “We had some kids who had the flu earlier in the week and the hot day didn’t help them at all.

“But that was a well-coached team that played very well.”

The two sides will see each other again at the Provincial “A” Cup championships in Langley come July. In the meantime, United will continue training and head to Washington State next month for a tournament.

The Richmond roster also features DJ Miller, Jacob Allison, Finlay Burrage, Kareem Menyawi, Ian Gee, Sinthujan Kalainathan, Jeremy Kallner, Ewan King, Zachary Lee, Cole Siebert, Mathias Melaku, Kenneth Ng, Konrad Or, Shane Rozen-Delman, Sam Sifton, Craig Tillotson and Scott Wilkinson.

Wong helps UBC three-peat in Texas

MARK BOOTH/RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond United’s Waseem Baluch turns up field during Sunday’s U18 Coastal “A” Cup final against the Burnaby Selects. Twice Richmond enjoyed one goal leads, however, Burnaby rallied for a 3-2 victory. Richmond also came up just short in the U14 “A” final, falling 4-3 to Coquitlam Metro Ford in penalty kicks. Both sides will have a chance for redemption at the Provincial Cup Championships this summer in Langley.

There was plenty of Richmond flavour to the UBC Thunderbirds women’s golf team three-peating at the Association of Independent Institutions (AII) Conference Championships in Texas last week.

With a coaching staff that features Mayfair Lakes director of instruction Keri Moffat and a team that includes McMath graduate Stephanie Wong, the Thunderbirds produced a whopping 13-stroke victory thanks to their second straight sub-290 total team score.

“They wanted this so bad,” said Moffat. “You obviously want to win, but never come in thinking you are going to win by 13 strokes. We felt a little bit like the underdog coming in, because of the way Cal. State-San Marcos had been playing, but Chris MacDonald (head Stephanie Wong coach) put in an awesome practice plan over the last three weeks and the girls just executed.”

Wong helped UBC get off to a terrific starting with an opening round 71 to sit second on the individual leaderboard behind teammate Reagan Wilson. A tough back nine during her final round resulted in a 76 which was still good enough to place fourth overall.

Wong is in her second-year with the Thunderbirds. Her sister Christine is currently closing out her standout collegiate career at San Diego State University.

With the win, the Thunderbirds earn an automatic bid to the NAIA National Championships, May 21-24 in Lincoln, Nebraska. UBC are the defending champs, but have no experience on the course they will be playing.

“This was one of the best events I have seen from this group and hopefully we can carry the momentum all the way to NAIAs in Nebraska,” said Moffat.

HEROES

Awards stresses unification, honours first responders

BY YVONNE ROBERTSON

yrobertson@richmond-news.com

There was no shortage of white uniforms, navies and reds creating a sea of emergency first responders Tuesday night at River Rock Casino Resort.

The 911 Awards Ceremony dinner gala, organized by Richmond Chamber of Commerce and the City of Richmond, invites hundreds of community members to come out and show their support for the city’s first responders as a whole, and for the nominees in particular.

Appreciation was shown through the mere presence of Richmondites dressed in their finest and through their applause at the award presentation — sometimes accented with the paramedics’ cowbell or hoots from those rowdy coast guard tables.

Judith Guichon, Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, delivered the keynote speech drawing from her own experiences with emergency services.

Recently, while riding horses on her ranch in Nicola Valley, her friend suffered a heart attack. A helicopter was dispatched and they were sent to the hospital.

“Out in the valley, we’re quite remote, but I was impressed by how fast the first responders were,” she said. “It showed me the importance of good, reliable communi-

cation.”

Guichon stressed the need for the first responders to work together as they respond collectively to emergency calls and acknowledged the importance of the teams behind the individual officers.

“And when I say team, I’m also referring to the families,” she said. “How often is it an off-duty officer or firefighter responding to a call? They can only maintain this level of commitment with a supportive family. They, too, must be recognized.”

It was a point made clearer as retired Cpl. Bill Lumsdon accepted his Community Safety Career Achievement Award and touchingly choked up when acknowledging his wife’s endless support.

Following Guichon, Mayor Malcolm Brodie said a few words emphasizing the extraordinary work of the teams, particularly remembering the immediate response to the plane crash along Russ Baker Way in the fall of 2011.

It’s an incident Steve Ilott, Richmond RCMP auxiliary member, won’t forget.

“I just remember how many auxiliary constables went out there to show their support,” he said. As part of the auxiliary, Ilott volunteers by accompanying officers on patrol and doing community-policing duties.

LISA KING SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Judith Guichon, Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, delivered the keynote speech at Tuesday night’s 911 Awards Ceremony.

“Nine were at the scene within 45 minutes, and these are just volunteers. People who live and work in Richmond and want to show their support for our community.”

Global TV’s Randene Neill, as MC, provided updates on the Vancouver Canucks’ Game 4, interspersed with the awards to community initiatives, volunteers, coast guards — cue the hoots — firefighters, police officers and paramedics.

Although most people were happy to

stick to their own colours and catch up with friends on the force they hadn’t seen in a while, the night offered a unique opportunity to unify all the first responders under one roof.

“It’s important for all of them to see the response in the community,” said Scott McCloy, of awards’ title partner WorkSafeBC. “We want to show our appreciation for their courage and passion out on the job.”

Congratulations 911 Award recipients and thank you from Richmond Fire-Rescue Congratulations to all of the nominees and winners of this year’s Chamber of Commerce 911 Awards.

Your outstanding efforts make a difference and are truly inspirational.

Thank you to the Richmond Chamber of Commerce for supporting Richmond’s emergency services.

Police Team, Officer or Auxiliary Member of the Year: Cpl. Kevin Krygier Cpl. Kevin Krygier has been stationed in Richmond since 2007 and takes great pride in his community.

He began Project Link, a foot patrol initiative in the downtown core of Richmond in partnership with Transit Police. This program focuses on engaging business owners and citizens.

He also founded, and chairs, the Downtown Richmond Crime Reduction Working Group, is the Richmond Detachment representative for the Jewish Community and is involved with the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team.

Krygier spearheaded the Richmond School Sports Program that involves

Olympic athletes attending elementary schools to give inspiring presentations.

Last November, Krygier became aware of a file from another watch where a young boy’s bike was stolen.

The youngster purchased the bike with his own birthday money. Krygier sent out a request asking if fellow RCMP members wished to contribute and buy this young boy a new bike.

The members came together to purchase a new bike and a lock for the boy.

Though firefighter Jenifer McElgunn has only been employed with Richmond Fire-Rescue for five years, her impact is boundless.

A tireless worker recruiting volunteers for Stanley Park Bright Nights, Burn Camp, as well as, serving as the Richmond Fire Burn Fund representative for three consecutive years, McElgunn never shirks her involvement.

She has attended three Burn Camps as a beloved counselor. Organizing Richmond Fire-Rescue’s annual golf tournament, working on the Jimmy Ng Memorial Hockey tournament and countless other volunteer functions that require firefighters to donate their time, are tasks

that McElgunn has gladly taken on.

She works to keep Richmond Fire-Rescue foremost in the minds of the people involved.

Not content to let her goodwill stay in her own backyard, McElgunn went overseas to Sri Lanka, helping to build homes for people displaced by a tsunami.

Her involvement, on her own time, speaks volumes to her character and perseverance for the greater good.

On Oct. 30, 2012, paramedics Dean Dube and Jeff Smith were dispatched to meet a couple on the side of the highway.

The call was for an imminent birth. Upon arrival, Dube and Smith did a quick assessment and knew right away the baby was coming.

They loaded the patient into the ambulance and started Code 3, lights and sirens blazing, to Richmond General. They knew the mother wasn’t their only patient — they had two lives to care for.

The delicacy of the situation was apparent and Dube and Smith called for backup from the Infant Transport Team.

Dean Dube and Jeff Smith

However, as they were driving, it became clear the waiting was over — the baby was coming now.

They pulled the vehicle over and assisted the mother.

Only a short time later, the new baby girl was born and the crew continued care of the mother and newborn.

Once the ITT crew arrived, Dube and Smith carried on to Vancouver, where they continued their shift — having taken excellent care of their two patients in a rare and stressful situation.

We appreciate the difference you are making in the community.

Volunteer helps in arrest, crew members save lives Coast Guard Crew, Member or Auxiliary of the Year: Green Crew — John Grove, Mike Martens, Brad Falconer, Mike Lydiatt, Mike Hawley and Marc Rowe In the early morning of Aug. 5, leading seaman John Grove was conducting his security rounds of Sea Island Base, following a busy night responding to incidents associated with the Symphony of Fire.

While on his rounds he heard a faint call from a person, incoherent moans Community Safety Volunteer of the Year: Richmond RCMP Victim Services Unit In 2012, the Richmond Detachment Victim Services Unit had 150 calls.

This included incidents of kidnapped children, fatal motor vehicle accidents, a plane crash, homicides, sudden deaths, major fires, hostage takings and, sadly, the death of a co-worker.

Victim Services is comprised of three full-time staff, five auxiliary part-

coming from somewhere south of the Base.

Grove quickly mustered the rest of the crew to investigate.

In the darkness of the channel, they found an adult man floating face up in a confused state of mind — too cold to think clearly or move his arms and legs.

The BC Ambulance Service was called for transport assistance. The coast guard crew treated the man for hypothermia and exposure.

The efforts of the crew on duty that morning showcased vigilance and thortime staff and 15 volunteers who logged over 5,520 volunteer hours in 2012.

The unit works with community partners to ensure all of their clients get the help they need to recover from often horrific life-altering circumstances.

The unit provides vital assistance in the form of face-to-face crisis intervention, community resource referrals, public education and ongoing support through the court processes.

It is there to ease an individual through difficult and stressful times with their expertise and caring support,

On June 26, 2012, the Richmond RCMP received a 911 call from a male victim who had been held at gunpoint by two unknown male suspects.

They had robbed him of his cell phone, computer and cash.

Descriptions of the suspects were broadcast to various police and public agencies, including the Greater Vancouver Transit Authority.

William Easton, a driver for Coast Mountain Bus Company, upon hearing the descriptions, reported to 911 he had picked up two males matching the descriptions. They were in possession of the computer.

males from exiting the bus at the next stop by pretending the back door was broken and could not be opened.

After a delayed exit, he kept sight of the suspects until they disappeared into an adjacent casino.

Easton’s reporting of the suspects and quick thinking contributed greatly to their apprehension, the recovery of the victim’s stolen property and a replica firearm used in the robbery.

Holding operations for investigation, creating new policy Community Safety Business Partnership Award: Bill Shearer (for BFI Canada) In February 2010, the RCMP conducted an investigation of a woman who had disposed of her newborn in a commercial waste bin.

Unfortunately, by the time investigators were able to locate the bin, it had already been emptied. When contacted by the RCMP, Bill Shearer of BFI Canada Inc. did not hesitate to assist.

He immediately helped track down the BFI truck and driver, as well as located the exact location within the Vancouver Landfill where the truck had been emptied.

Thanks to BFI and the team of police officers who sifted through the cordoned off mountain of waste, the infant’s remains were located and the case was

resolved.

Tragically, a similar event occurred in August of 2011.

Again, Shearer and BFI went above and beyond, determining the truck and driver, locating the section of the Vancouver Landfill and standing by while RCMP conducted their search long into the night.

Even though these events impacted BFI’s operations, both the company and Shearer were extremely helpful and instrumental to the RCMP in these sensitive investigations.

Community Safety Initiative of the Year: Innovative Laser Pointer Policy for Aircraft Safety

Community Safety Career Achievement Award: S/Sgt. Kerry Mah

Shining a laser pointer into the cockpit of an aircraft is a serious offence and safety risk.

Today’s easily available high-powered lasers can completely incapacitate pilots and puts the lives of the passengers on board in jeopardy. In 2011, there were 42 incidents of people pointing lasers at aircrafts in Metro Vancouver.

Richmond RCMP Sgt. Cam Kowalski and Corrie Okell, E-Comm 9-1-1’s operations training manager, have been leading the charge on this issue, working to develop a standard operating procedure for EComm 911 dispatchers.

In 2009, he was promoted to the rank of staff sergeant and became the Plainclothes Commander for Richmond Detachment.

For the men who dedicated their lives to the force Community Safety Career Achievement Award: Cpl. Bill Lumsdon (retired) Cpl. Bill Lumsdon followed in his brother’s footsteps and joined the RCMP in 1975. It was in these years when he became exposed to grassroots community policing while becoming engaged with the First Nations communities and performing general duty police work.

He brought his love for the sports to the communities he has served by volunteering to coach basketball and organizing sports events.

During the late 1980s, a move to Portage La Prairie and his subsequent involvement in the community made Lumsdon realize the key to policing a community lay in the relationships he formed with various stakeholders.

He had formed a vital link between youth in the

community and was building a rapport with youth before community policing became a recognized philosophy.

One of the highlights of his career was when he introduced the D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program into schools.

In the last four years of his career, he served on the Crime Prevention Unit in the Richmond Detachment.

He made incredible progress in reaching out to the community and became a one-man community policing initiative for the community of East Richmond.
