A Remembrance Day ceremony will be held Monday morning at the cenotaph, located on the east side of City Hall Monday.

A military parade will start marching from Minoru Park towards the city hall cenotaph at 10:20 a.m. The parade includes the Royal Canadian Legion, Canadian Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans

Association members, representation from public safety agencies and cadet organizations, a colour party and a veterans platoon.

The official ceremonies at the cenotaph will begin at 10:40 a.m. There will be two minutes of silence at 11 a.m., which will be followed by wreath-laying.

After the ceremonies are complete, the parade will march off and the public is invited to a Remembrance Day reception in the

“We knew the invasion was going to happen, but when, nobody knew.”

Making it worse was the inclement weather.

Rigg was in an encampment — a marshalling area for D-Day forces on the outskirts of London — for just a few days when the heavens opened.

“It absolutely threw it down.

And we had slutch (thick, heavy mud) up to here,” Rigg says,

pointing to midway up his shin.

“You can imagine, we’re all in army boots, thousands of guys. It was a real mess.”

On the actual day of departure, the train journey to the coast where the Allied armada was waiting for them was meant to throw anyone watching troop movements off track.

“I saw the ocean in the west, then I saw it on the east,” Rigg says, recalling his view out the train window as it zig-zagged its way to Dover.

And when the train pulled into the final station, Rigg noticed all the doors on one side of the carriages were locked. see Caen page 5

This is a free event where people can listen to music by the R.C. Palmer vocal jazz ensemble and essonance chamber choir, as well as warm up with coffee and snacks.

There will also be a Remembrance Day display assembled by the City of Richmond Archives, Friends of the Richmond Archives and Richmond Public Library.

Portions of No. 3 Road near City Hall will be closed for approximately two and a half hours to facilitate the event.

There will be minimal temporary traffic disruption along Granville Avenue and Minoru Boulevard during the post ceremony parade.

The service will be simulcast into City Hall Council Chambers for those who may not be able to stand outside for the service.

Remembrance Day

Caen: Hit with shrapnel, drove home realities of war Continued from page 3 There was just one way out — on to the station platform and the nearby row of waiting boats. “You couldn’t escape,” he says, chuckling quietly.

While the crossing was largely uneventful, a sense of foreboding hung thick in the air.

“I was wondering what was going to happen, what we were going to meet,” he says. “I was For a video of a bit worried about the Normandy mines on the beaches.” landing The destination was the town of Arromanches-les-Bains where the code name for the landing area was Gold beach.

In the engineers corps, Rigg had been trained to set up Bailey and pontoon bridges.

But he had also been instructed in lifting and setting mines.

“I wasn’t too happy with that,” he said of the early training.

Thankfully, he wasn’t given the task of clearing the beach of explosives as his unit was pushed inland quickly, while the retreating German forces set up a counter attack position in the town of Caen.

“Caen was absolutely flattened. I don’t think there were two bricks stuck together. It was just a mass of rubble. It was a battle day after day in Caen.”

The job he and his unit had to complete was clearing an adjacent field of mines so it could serve as an aircraft landing strip. That’s when the deadly realities of war hit home.

Canadian troops march onto Juno Beach on D-Day as part of the Normandy Landings.

“I got hit with shrapnel. It penetrated my helmet and I got a lump on my head,” he says, running his fingers over the impact area. “Of course, I didn’t go to the medics.

It was more dangerous to go see the medics than it was to stay where I was.”

Caen finally fell and Rigg and his unit moved on through the rest of Europe, and eventually that memorable day in Berlin.

“It was great to think that was the end,” he says, adding part of his duties leading up to the parade was helping build a stage outside of the city were child actor Mickey Rooney was set to entertain the troops. “(Rooney) was young then,” Rigg says

laughing, “and sent there to entertain the (big shots).”

Coming home to the family he had started during the war — he married wife Kathleen while on two days leave in 1941 — was a time Rigg says he’ll never forget.

Arriving back in the U.K., he and the rest of the returning soldiers with him were ushered into a massive warehouse in Oldham where they turned in their uniforms in exchange for a brand new suit.

“It was a cotton mill at one time. But inside it had row after row of suits,” he says.

“And there was a ticket on the end of each arm showing what size it was. That was my

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities.

Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own.

Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in.

Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

‘going home suit.’

“You also got an overcoat when you handed your army stuff in.”

Rules at the time ensured pre-war jobs would be waiting for returning soldiers, so Rigg had a few days off, then went back to work, almost as if nothing had happened.

As the decades since the war’s end have passed, the raw emotions brought on by the annual observance of Remembrance Day have lessened for Rigg.

“It was pretty hard the first time I went.

Over the years, it slips away a bit,” he says.

Part of that also came with moving his family to Canada in 1956 when the cotton industry died down in Lancashire, taking with it much of the associated jobs.

So, Rigg decided it would be better if he and his family — which had grown to three children — moved to greener pastures. It was a toss up between Australia and Canada.

What sealed the decision to come here was a large map of Canada posted on the local travel agent’s shop wall. “So, I sat looking at this map with places like Moosejaw, Edmonton and Yellowknife,” he says.

He ended up settling on Yellowknife because he had lined up a job there. But after two months, he headed for the Lower Mainland and settled in Richmond in 1962.

Rigg says he is honoured to play a role in this year’s Nov. 11 ceremonies and is forever thankful he managed to return home after the war and live a long and fruitful life.

“When I think about it, what I’ve been through, I feel sorry for the other guys who never came back.”

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats.

Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis.

If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help.

All cracked up

he political circus that is Toronto Mayor Rob Ford delivered another spectacle Tuesday with Ford’s admission that, yes, he smoked crack cocaine and no, he doesn’t see that as a reason to quit.

I’ve admitted my mistakes, Ford said. I’ve apologized. Now time for him to get back to work. The operatic level of denial that has characterized the Ford spiral downwards over the past six months continued unabated.

Ford’s revelation this week that he’s smoked crack and carried on in “drunken stupors” is a surprise to nobody. That he believes it would be possible to continue to carry out his duties as head of Canada’s largest city indicates how out of touch he’s become.

Sure, Ford needs help. But so does the City of Toronto, where the business of the people has been sideswiped for the past six months by the train wreck of the mayor’s demons. Not to mention his clumsy attempts to repeatedly lie and deny his way out of his troubles.

The sordid story, played out with a cast of criminal associates, against a backdrop of call-in talk shows and late-night TV jokes, has been both an embarrassment and a source of concern.

Ford isn’t the only one who should be doing some soul searching this week. The Ford Nation, who so distrusted the “elites” that they would rather vote for someone cast from Trailer Park Boys as their elected leader, also have a lot to answer for.

Being willing to go look at potholes isn’t everything, even in civic politics. Integrity is a necessary quality for any leader.

Ford has repeatedly proven that he has none.

It’s way past time for him to step aside.

CHOICE WORDS

Learn more war history The Editor, I belong to Operation Legacy, a group of members of The War Amps Child Amputee Program (CHAMP) dedicated to preserving Canada’s military heritage and teaching other young people how to carry on the remembrance message.

This year, the War Amps is celebrating a major anniversary. Ninety-five years ago, First World War amputee veterans formed the Amputations Association of the Great War. The name was changed to the War Amputations of Canada when Second World War amputees joined their ranks. These men later started CHAMP to assist young amputees like me.

In addition to having had the privilege of learning about Canada’s military heritage from a young age, I also know what it is like to live without a limb — a strong bond that I share with war amputee veterans. Because of this, I feel it is my duty to ensure the stories of war are preserved and its lessons never forgotten.

I have been fortunate to be involved with Operation Legacy by participating in local Remembrance Day ceremonies and laying wreaths on behalf of The War Amps. I have also donated documentaries from The War Amps Military Heritage Series to the Cranbrook Public Library.

I encourage everyone — particularly young people — to learn more through these documentaries, which are available at a cost-recovery price at waramps.ca.

Remembering origins of Remembrance It’s November, and once again Canadians from all corners wear a bright red poppy in remembrance of Canada’s War Dead.

So many of us take this annual ritual for granted.

Given the passage of time, it’s easy to miss the fact that many Canadians have little social context to explain the event.

In August 1914, war broke out on continental Europe, involving virtually every nation in the region.

It eventually spread to involve virtually every nation on the globe.

During the 1,534 days of what became known as the Great War, more than 11 million people lost their lives. Most, but not all, were active service personnel, soldiers, sailors and aviators.

History records great battles — 2nd Ypres, (where the first gas attacks were launched against Canadian forces), the Somme, Passchendaele, Gallipoli, the Marne, and countless other actions.

Less well known is the daily casualty rate, averaging 2,000 per day for the entire duration of the war, known as “wastage.”

By 1918, Germany was starving, her navy in mutiny. France was virtually bled white, her army having mutinied in 1917.

This left the armies of the British Empire to struggle to the ultimate collapse of the German army during the last hundred days of the war.

During this period,

Matthew McBride G U E S T S H OT

Canada, Australia and New Zealand’s land forces were the effective strength of the Empire.

Recognizing the futility of further conflict, a German delegation entered the Foret de Compeigne in French territory on Nov. 5, and finally, at 5:40 a.m. on Nov. 11, an armistice was signed by all parties.

This ended the fighting but not the war.

(The Treaty of Versailles accomplished that end, signed in June 1919).

The armistice called for “hostilities to cease at the eleventh hour.” Thus Nov. 11 at 11 a.m. (the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month) gained eternal significance.

The butcher’s bill of the war was beyond comprehension. Each life was a real life lost, captured by John McRae’s In Flanders Fields, saying “We are the Dead. Short days ago we lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow; loved and were loved...”

Ordinary people, lost in the furnace of history; lives unlived, love ungiven, children unborn. For Canada, more than 60,000 young souls were lost on the battlefields of Europe

and Asia, and in the oceans around the world.

To reconcile this loss through public observance, King George V commissioned Armistice Day in 1919, and the first such event was held at Buckingham Palace that same year.

Armistice Day was practised in Canada from 1921 to 1930, when an Act of Parliament created Remembrance Day, on Nov. 11 of each year.

And so, across the nation this coming Monday, people will gather at local memorials and cenotaphs to observe Remembrance Day. Do not consider this a glorification of war; it is not. Nor consider it an homage to militarism; it is nothing of the sort.

It is a chance to gather together as a common people, and remember the lives lost; period. More than 100,000 Canadians dead, in service to us all.

During the service on Monday, you will hear the Act of Remembrance: “They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old; age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.”

At that point, please repeat: “We will remember them.”

Matthew McBride is the Chair of the Richmond Remembrance Day Committee.

Why is there not a full cost benefit analysis required, along with a full environmental impact assessment on the effects this would have on the Fraser River estuary and its ability to remain a wetland of international significance for wildfowl and fish, as designated at the Ramsar Convention?

2. What is the projected costs of removing the George Massey Tunnel and who would be paying for it?

3. What would be the cost of deepening the Fraser River to the depth required for the deepest sea-going ships projected to dock on the Fraser River above the George Massey Tunnel?

4. What are the annual dredging costs presently required to accommodate ships above the George Massey Tunnel?

5. What did it cost to install the training walls that were part of the Trifurcation Project to direct as much of the flow of the Fraser River down the shipping lanes to reduce the amount of dredging required?

6.What will be the additional costs to maintain the deeper channel as proposed and who will pay it?

7. Will dredging still be subject to the Department of Fishery Dredging Guidelines, which prohibits dredging dur-

ing salmon migration?

8. What effects will this have on the wetlands so important to the Pacific flyway and the ecosystem so important to the migration of salmon?

9. What effects will this have on the flow of water and silting of the other branches of the Fraser River?

10. What effects will the deepening have on the stability of the dykes protecting both Richmond and Delta and who will pay for any additional work required to reinforce them?

11. How much more will it cost to elevate the proposed bridge to accommodate the larger ships proposed? And who will pay for this?

12. Whatever the costs, why are we using taxpayers money to accommodate a private company like the Fraser Surrey Docks?

13. Why are we proposing to deepen the Fraser River when Port Metro Vancouver is spending $2 billion of taxpayers money to build the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Container Project?

14. Is the only reason for deepening the Fraser River to accommodate coal and oil bearing ships to the Fraser Surrey Docks?

Answers to the above questions must be given with justification and proof that deepening the Fraser River is both economical and environmentally sound.

Build a new bridge, but build it to accommodate people and rapid transit, not the Fraser Surrey Docks.

So we’re not in such bad shape?

Earlier this week the Vancouver Sun published a thought-provoking article about the Canada Pension Plan, taking a deeper look at whether we really need to increase monthly CPP benefits. This issue will be discussed at the annual meeting of our Finance Ministers in December.

The question that the article raised is whether Canadians truly have not saved enough for retirement.

A 2009 research project concluded that our retirement income system was “working well,” and Canadians had adequate standards of living. Lower-income seniors could rely on the OAS and the Guaranteed Income supplement, giving Canada one of the world’s lowest rates of seniors’ poverty. It suggests things are not that precarious after all - in contrast with some evidence that “Boomers” have not saved enough for their retirement.

The writers also say that, if the CPP is expanded and contribution rates rise, Canadians might save less in other areas. For example, RRSP contributions would drop if CPP contribution rates were to rise. That may not be the best approach for us, because RRSPs bring unique benefits to Canadians.

So, the evidence does not suggest that we are in a national income crisis. We might conclude, then, that a rise in CPP benefits is not on the horizon at present.

Friday Feature REMEMBRANCE DAY

Japanese tears of war taste ironic, not bitter Interned family bode emotional farewell to German neighbours who were allowed to stay in Richmond

BY A LAN C AMPBELL

H

acampbell@richmond-news.com

e was just three-years-old when one of the darkest days in Richmond’s history arrived.

Kiyo Domai has little or no memory of his family being one of around 2,000 ordered to vacate the city before April 1, 1942.

Even so, there was one painful, emotional vision, etched onto his mom’s memory and passed onto him, that lingers when asked about the Japanese internment of the Second World War. “We had German neighbours, who, I’m told, we were very friendly with,” said Domai, now 74.

“My mother remembered telling the German family we had to leave and everyone was crying. I don’t know what happened to them.

That part was strange.”

To this day, that irony — a family originating from the country the world, including Canada, was at war with being allowed to continue with their lives, while the Japanese, in the wake of the infamous Pearl Harbor attack of Dec. 1941, had to ship out — is not lost on Domai.

And although he’s not even remotely bitter — something he thanks his father, Nobuo, for — he often wonders what life might have been like if the Domais, including his mom, Hisae, and newly-born and slightly frail sister, Toshiko, were never frog-marched from their idealic home in the former Eburne community, where the River Rock casino now stands.

“We had our own house, a detached one I think, which was rare at the time,” said Domai, whose fisherman grandfather, Kyujiru Domai, immigrated to Steveston from Mio village, near Wakayama, at the turn of the century, followed by Kiyo’s parents around 1930.

“My father was a gardener, while all of our relatives lived in Steveston, in company homes for the cannery.

“We had a big yard with an orchard. We grew cherries, plums, apples and flowers, and wealthy people on their way to the racetrack at Lansdowne used to stop and buy the fruit and flowers from a stand my dad set up. I guess we had a pretty nice life.”

T

hat charmed life, however, was turned upside down — as it was for the 21,079 Japanese-Canadians in B.C. (around 2,000 from Richmond) ordered to evacuate the coast — when Canada declared war on Japan and Japanese-Canadians were deemed a threat to national security.

The Domai family, including Kiyo’s grandfather, was packed off to a near abandoned, former mining town, Sandon, in the Kootenays, while Kiyo’s father was sent to work on the road camps along the Yellowhead Highway from Kamloops to Edmonton.

The winters of north-east B.C. were, of course, harsher than anything Richmond could throw at the Domais. In the first winter, Kiyo’s grandfather died of pneumonia.

“It was a godforsaken place; only seeing daylight for about four hours a day,” he said. “(My grandfather) was used to living his life on a boat. He found it tougher than us.”

Now with their father back by their side — he was allowed to return for the grandfather’s funeral — the Domais moved in 1943 onto a more permanent internment site at Lemon Creek, in the Slocan Valley, before the displaced families were given the ultimatum around 1945 to move back to Japan or shift even further east over the Rocky Mountains.

“There was a lot of emotion at that point for families; it tore people apart,” said Domai.

“We went to live and work in Alberta on a sugar beet farm in Taber, near Medicine Hat. The winters there were even more severe, though.”

It was there that a third and fourth child was born into the Domai family: another

daughter Hiroko and a second son, Koji.

“We learned very quickly how to farm and how to survive out there and my father also worked at the local vegetable cannery and became the cook there; my dad could take on anything,” said Domai.

T

he Domais saw out the rest of the ’40s in Alberta, still in exile. But, with the war long over, Japanese-Canadians were allowed in ’49 to roam freely once more and Domai’s father embarked on a scouting mission in 1950 back to Richmond.

Despite failed attempts to buy back the confiscated, former family home in Eburne, Domai’s father made the call to settle back in the city that they were unceremoniously punted from eight years previous.

“I think that was tough for my dad, not being able to get the house back,” said — Kiyo Domai. “Instead, we moved into a two-storey home on stilts on the water at Garry Point Park, near where Pajo’s concession stand is today.

“But my dad was not the kind of man to be bitter and if he was, he didn’t show it.

“I’m grateful to him for that, because we would’ve carried that around with us for the rest of our lives. It can poison your mind.”

Domai’s mom lived to 96, his dad to 93. Both lived in Steveston for the rest of their lives, while Domai went on to attend Richmond High School, UBC and became a lifelong teacher in Surrey before retiring.

Asked about feeling a sense of injustice from the internment, Domai said, “The only kind of negative emotion I feel is that I never got a chance to really know my grandfather.

“When I reached 61, that was the age he died, that was a big moment for me.”

I

t’s just 12 letters — “Shikata ga nai.” But its meaning — often used by JapaneseCanadians when summing up internment — captures the spirit of a people caught in the crossfire.

Its translation: “Can’t be helped,” or “there’s nothing that can be done about it.”

Despite losing her mother to cancer and 15-year-old sister to rheumatic fever while interned in Alberta, lifelong Richmondite Alice Domai Kokubo, 84, offers up “shikata ga nai” when reliving internment.

“What the government did to us, it was because of the war, it had no choice. That’s what we mean by ‘shikata ga nai,’” said Kokubo, older cousin to Kiyo Domai.

And given that some among the mass evacuation of Japanese-Canadians were given only 24 hours’ notice — cars, cameras and radios were also confiscated for “protective measures” and a curfew imposed — only makes their “shrugging of the shoulders” attitude all the more remarkable. see Hiratas page 13

“It was a godforsaken place; only seeing daylight about four hours a day.”

Internment ripped out the heart of Steveston

Village rendered a ghost town after forced exodus

BY ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

When more than 2,000 JapaneseCanadians were ordered from their homes in Steveston, they left with a hole in their hearts and inflicted a gaping wound on the local economy.

Within hours of the last person of Japanese descent departing the previously booming fishing village on April 1, 1942, Steveston was rendered a ghost town.

Before internment, there were 62 recognized businesses in the village; 47 of which were owned and operated by the Japanese, 14 were Caucasian and one Chinese.

By April 2, Steveston — with 80 per cent of its population gone — was totally devoid of Japanese, leaving behind a skeletal business community including a meat market, Bill’s Barbers, BC Electricity Company, BC

Telephone and Steveston Bakery.

Gone were a plethora of general stores, confection stores, grocery stores, hardware, tailors, drug stores, shoe repair and real estate.

“These places were the heart of Steveston; the heart of the community was lost,” said Bill McNulty, veteran City of Richmond councillor, local historian and author of Steveston: A Community History.

“These places were the meat and potatoes and it also meant people didn’t bother coming to Steveston from outside of the village to shop.”

Articles and adverts ran in the local newspaper every week for four years, urging people to be loyal to Steveston.

“The loss to the fishing industry in Steveston was obviously devastating,” said McNulty. “Of the 1,137 vessels confiscated, about 75 per cent of them belonged to

Steveston-based fishermen.

“They were the economy of the village and they weren’t around anymore.”

From his research, McNulty feels Steveston never fully recovered from the internment.

“I think it picked up slightly into the mid and late ’40s, but it was never the same,” he said.

“Steveston was the centre of all things in Richmond for many years, and I don’t think it ever really recovered to where it once was.”

Hiratas: Family forced to abandon ‘nice, large’ home Continued from page 12 orn to Steveston fisherman father Ken Sakiyama and mother Aiko Atode, Kokubo was 12 when the internment order was made.

Her family enjoyed a carefree life in Steveston, all living on her grandfather’s fruit and vegetable farm on Railway Avenue.

“Father went fishing, my grandfather and the women worked on the farm; everything was very easy,” said Kokubo, who attended Lord Byng school.

“I was in Grade 6 at the time, I had lots of friends,” Kokubo said.

Like her younger cousin Kiyo, Kokubo and her family were shipped off to Sandon, where they stayed for two years.

A few years living in Lemon Creek and then, when the war was over, a similar path as the Domai family was beaten — further east into Canada and to Taber, Alberta.

In December 1949, the Kokubos moved back to Richmond, but the farm she grew up on had been confiscated.

B

“My father went back to being a fisherman. I was 19 by that time,” said Kokubo, who still lives close by at No. 1 and Francis roads.

“We rented a home on No. 1 Road and Steveston Highway. It was very strange moving back, it wasn’t the same Steveston I remembered as a child.”

Hap Hirata, with Steveston Harbour in rear. Hirata, including his fisherman father, were ordered out of Steveston along with 2,000 fellow JapaneseCanadians.

I

f Ihei and Yae Hirata harboured any bitterness about having the life they’d worked hard for ripped from them, they managed to bottle it up and put in on a high shelf, well beyond the reach of their son, Hap. “Mom and dad never really talked about it,” said Hap, who was interned aged three, along with older brother Kazuo, 18, a local fisherman like his father, and sister Hatsyou, 19, who worked in the cannery.

“I would try to talk to (my father) and ask him, but if he was feeling angry or whatever, he never showed it. He would say, ‘just carry on,’ or ‘it’s all water under the bridge,’ or ‘what’s done is done.’

“And the farm we lived on was owned by a German family.”

In 1950, the Hiratas moved back to Richmond, after Hap’s father heard there was a move to bring the fishermen back to Steveston. “My dad had no problems moving back.

He went back with my sister to get things set up,” said Hirata.

“The cannery offered a house for very low rent. They spent a month there getting things ready for the rest of us.

“Dad did go back to look at our old house, but he never tried to buy it or anything.”

Hirata, now 75, has spent the rest of his life growing up in Steveston, attending Lord Byng and Richmond High.

“There was more discrimination there than there ever was living in Alberta,” he recalled.

Now, a retired sales manager and well-recognized volunteer in the Steveston community, Hirata teaches judo at the Steveston Judo club, which was started in 1953 by 10 Japanese fishermen. He was one of the club’s first students.

ALAN CAMPBELL RICHMOND NEWS

“Maybe deep in people’s hearts there is (some bitterness). If there was, my parents must have buried it and used it to make them work harder and be stronger.”

Forced to abandon their “nice and large” two-level home at the end of No. 2 and Dyke roads — which Hap’s father built himself — the Hiratas were “lucky” in that they got to choose their exile location.

“It was a very sad situation

and a very traumatic time for so many people,” said Hirata.

“We chose to go to Alberta and work on a sugar beet farm. The only thing I remember was this being one big adventure. I got to go on the train!”

And, like the irony that befell Kiyo Domai and his family, Hirata found himself surrounded by Germans while in Alberta.

“I remember most of my friends in my class were German,” he said.

Students draw parallels to veterans

BY YVONNE ROBERTSON

yrobertson@richmond-news.com

CONGRATULATIONS 2013 GRADS!

Colleen Booker is rare among her peers to have heard the stories of her grandfather who fought in the Second World War. But she didn’t hear them directly from him.

Colleen’s grandmother wrote a collection of stories about her husband’s experiences, which she passed on to her son, who then read them to Colleen as she was growing up.

The Hugh Boyd student appreciates the significance of the history she’s been gifted and is intent on passing it on to the next generation.

The fact her grandfather passed away recently only further highlighted to Colleen the fact that important war stories are being lost as veterans age.

Arts&Life Video: Preserving a legacy Continued from page 16 Also included in the assembly is a school band set, as well as an honouring ceremony presented by the Coast Salish nation.

“Diversity in war is also something that’s not showcased very often,” said Kristina. “You usually see the white, strong soldier in all the historic images.”

For the three student producers, Remembrance Day reminds them of the many immigrants who call Canada home.

“My grandfather fought in WWII,” said Nicole. “He was from Poland and immigrated to Canada to fight, so he actually fought against his home country. He felt that strongly about Canada and his new home.”

Exploring a theme such as diversity allows them to draw parallels with contemporary Canada, according to Park.

“When you look at the faces of these veterans, there’s a diverse range of people,” he said. “Then you look around today and see who these veterans represented. I wanted them to look at Canada today and apply that back then.”

Library becomes home to new warrior

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Sisters Julie Williams and Susan Lomness donated the terracotta warrior to the Brighouse branch of the library.

The Richmond Public Library’s Brighouse branch has become home to a new terracotta warrior, Wu Chang, donated by sisters Julie Williams and Susan Lomness.

The sculpture was unveiled last Saturday (Nov. 2) with a reception for the Williams and Lomness families who donated the warrior, which was created and named by artist Tiana Kaczor.

“Sisters Julie Williams and Susan Lomness generously donated this beautiful terracotta warrior to the library in memory of their parents Yvette and Walter Beswick, who were longtime library users,” said Shelley Civkin, library communications officer.

“It’s particularly fitting that the sculpture be situated outside the library so that the whole community can enjoy this remarkable piece of art.”

The warrior was part of the Easter Seals Terracotta

BY PHILIP RAPHAEL

praphael@richmond-news.com

Power of networking If there’s something I’ve learned over the past few years, it’s that networking and volunteering is one of the most fundamental practices for success — especially if you’re into the arts and media.

YOUTH Although it’s not always the case, fields that include certain positions in the spotlight are stereotypically portrayed as tense with competition, superficial friendships and hidden agendas, a zone in which compliments are exchanged as strategic transactions to form alliances and everyone is vying for the place of honour. If you somehow find yourself there, it’s a temporary taste of victory. One must always assume that others are plotting to dethrone you.

Through some lucky twist of fate, I’ve managed to steer clear of these paranoid battlefields and popularity contests.

And maybe it’s thanks to the growing opportunities to selfpublish and self-market. Then again, maybe it’s because I’ve taught myself not to care.

Don’t get me wrong, I will always care about the quality of work I produce, or the things I’m passionate about. But what I’m learning to stop caring about is whether or not it’s recognized. I’m learning to stop taking myself so seriously, and do things, try things just for the sake of participating, growing and developing. If my best effort is out there, it’s okay not to “win.” It’s cool to acknowledge the competition, be grateful for the opportunity and return to drawing board.

There’s a saying that goes along the lines of: “Calling others ugly won’t make you more beautiful. Calling others stupid won’t make you more intelligent. Bringing others down won’t help you climb up.”

It may be glaringly obvious, but I think it’s helpful food for thought all the same. Insecure competition does not exist only in high school cliques. It’s everywhere, some people never grow out of it.

Forming communities and networks with people who have similar interests and reaching out to help each other SIMPLY because you share the same passions will always be rewarding and inspiring.

It takes humility, confidence and a degree of selflessness to recognize when others outshine you. One can choose to respond with support, enthusiasm and a desire to improve one’s own abilities, or one can fall back into bitterness and cynicism.

“The fact the Mealshare program had a similar vision as ours made it a no-brainer to join,” Kroetsch, “and it allowed us to start feeding people much sooner than we had planned.”

Funds raised through Mealshare are distributed through regional charitable groups in the areas they serve.

Pamela Sinha Fearless Performer, First-time Playwright

P

amela Sinha is no stranger to performing in challenging roles, but Crash marks her first time playing the role of writer.

With years of experience as an actor, it’s almost a given that Pamela’s commanding performance in Crash would garner a number of accolades.

But not only did she win a 2012 Dora Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female, she also won for Outstanding New Play.

Theatre critics have also applauded her, in equal measure, for both her playwriting and performance in Crash. The Globe and Mail’s J. Kelly Nestruck stated that Pamela “… gives the most powerful performance I’ve seen from her, chilly and controlled” and Robert Cushman at The National Post calls her performance “beyond praise.” Lynn Slotkin of The Slotkin Letter describes Pamela as “a graceful, poetic writer” and Sonia Borkar of Mooney on Theatre says the play “…moves you, makes you think and leaves you speechless.”

Crash is the story of a woman facing memories of a past trauma. Through projections, myth, and dance, the show is both a fractured unravelling of memory and a riveting narrative about family, faith, and love.

Fearless performer, first-time playwright … no matter how you define Pamela Sinha as an artist, her work definitely cuts to your core.

Wildcats capture Lower Mainland championship

McMath edges Lord Byng in penalty kicks to stay unbeaten on the season heading into provincial AAA tournament

BY MARK BOOTH

mbooth@richmond-news.com

The McMath Wildcats will ride a perfect record into the upcoming Provincial “AAA” Boys Soccer Championships.

The Steveston school is expected to be among the top seeds in the 16-team tournament two weeks from now after capturing the Lower Mainland title on Tuesday with a 1-0 win over Lord Byng in penalty kicks.

After regulation and overtime couldn’t determine the outcome, the Wildcats prevailed 5-4.

The result came on the heels of a 1-0 victory over St. George’s and a 3-0 opening round triumph against Kitsilano. Earlier, McMath went 8-0 in Richmond league play, outscoring its opponents 46-4 in the process.

The team has been exceptional defensively, led by goalkeeper Jason Roberts who helped B.C. win gold at the Canada Summer Games back in August. He also has a talented back four in front of him.

“We have a good all round skillful team but our main strength is our defense,” said coach Mike Quinn who has been overseeing the McMath senior boys program since 2007. “Jason has been outstanding behind a strong back line led by captain Theo Lorenz, Bobby Bertram, Glen Kirkland, and

McMath Wildcats will take an unbeaten record to the provincial “AAA” championships.

Conner McFayden, backed up with defensive midfielders, Andy Ng and Kourino Hazebrouck.

“We should have a good chance of winning our group and we’ll see what happens from there.”

The Wildcats capped a perfect run in Richmond play with a 3-0 win over McNair.

It was then off to the Lower Mainland Championships.

Second half goals from Liam Robinson, Luke Sewell and Miguel Keough broke a scoreless deadlock with Kitsilano.

The semi-final proved to be an exciting affair against St. George’s.

Fraser Kirkland scored a great first

half goal after running onto a long bouncing through ball from midfielder George Almeida. Kirkland deftly lobbed the ball over the rushing goalkeeper. It was heading for the net but, just to make sure, he followed his shot and headed it home.

The second half saw St. Georges apply a lot of pressure but McMath’s defense held its ground.

The final was played at Camuson Park on a bumpy grass surface which was something the Richmond boys weren’t used to having spent so much time on field turf.

After an evenly played first half, Lord Byng came out strong in the second and out-chanced the Wildcats but the match

remained scoreless.

Overtime produced some exciting moments with both goalkeepers making several good stops. In the penalty shoot, Roberts made an excellent stop to set the stage for the McMath win on goals

by Hazebrouck, Lorenz, Almeida, Fraser Kirkland and Bertram.

Rounding out the squad are: Jorge Esquiavel, Itai Goldfarb, Ryan Kamimura, Lachlan Macaulay, John Murray and Trevor Shackles.

This marks the fifth time Quinn has guided a McMath team to a B.C. berth. The run includes a third place finish in 2010 when only a penalty shootout loss in the semi-finals denied the Wildcats a chance to play for the championship.

Arguably, their most talented team ended up fifth in 2009 after a surprise loss in round-robin play. It was McMath’s only defeat in 19 games.

The tournament format puts a heavy emphasis on the three preliminary games with only the four round-robin group winners advancing directly to the semi-finals.

“It’s a format where you need a little luck too,” added Quinn. “We were probably the most talented team in the tournament (in 2009) but that one loss did us in.”

The provincials are slated for Nov. 21-23 in Burnaby.

CANADA’S PREMIERE ONLINE GUIDE TO THE GOOD LIFE

The Cavalier Kind May Globus

After being buzzed into the jewellery shop in the historic Dominion Building, it’s clear that Cavalier is in a league of its own.

Not only is the space beautiful with its tall ceilings, brick and wood, Cavalier is also community-minded, exclusively carrying pieces from local independent designers.

Whether more contemporary or traditional in look, high quality materials, precious gemstones and good design makes each work sold here timeless.

Classic German-made NIRVEL wristwatches (from $500) run on Swiss mechanics, while the Contoli watches (from $750) are handcrafted just up the street. The ZULA Jewlery + Design leaf print medium necklace ($110) is for those with a penchant for the delicate and feminine, much in contrast to the bronze rock and roll signet-style LACAR skull ring ($146).

The team also works with clients to create customized pieces and has with an in-house goldsmith on hand.

There’s something for everyone here — the problem is, we want it all.

The New Family Heirlooms

May Globus

New in The Chinatown Experiment’s pop-up space, Izm’s moniker represents a movement focused on existence, essential nature and how one should live, a philosophy that seems inherently West Coast.

Clean lines constructed from solid wood are the design foundation and, despite a contemporary minimalist aesthetic, there’s still a delightfully rustic air about the high-end handcrafted pieces, each meant to age and to be passed on between generations.

What we wouldn’t give to have the Visualizm cabinet (from $4,650) and Eyeful coffee table ($2,950) accenting our living rooms — that, or the quirky air plant terrariums (from $50) by Gastown florist Green Stems.

By the looks of it, beautiful furniture is new family heirloom.
