NEWS: Frantic vote counting deﬁned Richmond Centre 3

Election joy for Joe, Wong Eve Edmonds

Editor eedmonds@richmond-news.com

‘I

t may be night, but it’s a new day for Steveston-Richmond East; it’s a new day for Richmond Centre; and it’s a new day for Canada, and this sounds good, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.” This was how Richmond’s ﬁrst ever Steveston-Richmond East Member of Parliament, Joe Peschisolido, began his victory speech at his campaign ofﬁce packed with volunteers and supporters. Peschisolido spoke too soon as far as Richmond Centre was concerned, where the Liberal’s Lawrence Woo was ahead in the polls at the time, but ended up losing to incumbent Conservative MP Alice Wong. Nevertheless, Steveston-Richmond East did appear to catch the Liberal momentum that swept the country Monday night. While it looked like a tight race between Peschisolido and Conservative Kenny Chiu as early polls came in, Peschisolido took the

lead and maintained it throughout, eventually winning with about 45 per cent of the votes (19,486) against Chiu’s 38 per cent (16,630). “I look at this room, and this is why we won. Every morning I got up, and every morning it got harder to get up, but I knew everyone in this room and others had my back. And tonight I say to you, thank you.” Peschisolido went on to thank numerous individual members of his campaign team, calling them to the front, hugging and kissing Steveton-Richmond East Liberal Joe Peschisolido - 45.1% (19,486) Conservative Kenny Chiu - 38.5% (16,630) NDP Scott Stewart - 12.1% (5,248) Green Laura-Leah Shaw - 3.7% (1,587) Libertarian Matt Swanston - 0.6% (274) Richmond Centre Conservative Alice Wong - 43.5% (17,693) Liberal Lawrence Woo - 42.3% (17,230) NDP Jack Trovato - 11.3% (4,613) Green Vincent Chiu - 2.8% (1,152)

each one in turn. He wrapped up by saying, “I’m honoured and humbled to be standing here as your member of parliament. I’m going to do my utmost to be the best Member of Parliament that, I was going to say Steveston-Richmond East has ever had, but it’s only had me.” (The election boundaries were recently redrawn to form this new riding.) “You’ll set the bar,” called out one supporter. “And I’ll set it high,” he responded. “Let’s savour the moment,” he concluded to the sound of Champagne corks popping. “Because tomorrow, the real work begins.” When asked what put him over the top, he credited his “phenomenal” team of volunteers and reaching out to all members of the “our diverse community.” Indeed, the crowd of supporters was remarkably ethnically diverse, with a large number from the Indo Canadian community. Two women wearing the niqab also got their pictures taken with Peschisolido. See Grit page 4

ELECTION in the City RICHMOND CENTRE

onservative attack ads, marijuana reforms and not quite enough strategic voting all likely contributed to a narrow margin of defeat, said accountant and Liberal candidate Lawrence Woo, who nearly unseated incumbent MP Alice Wong Monday during the 42nd Canadian election. “I congratulate everyone who took part in this election,” said a sportsmanlike Woo, on a night Liberal leader and soon-to-be Prime Minister Justin Trudeau swept to power with a majority government, sending Canada in a new direction. Trudeau gave his acceptance speech hours before Woo’s fate became clear: “We beat fear with hope, we beat cynicism with hard work, we beat negative, divisive politics with a positive vision that brings Canadians together,” purported Trudeau. But that was not the case in the Richmond Centre riding, said Woo. “I think the attack ads towards the end of the campaign, I think it probably plays a role in this election, which is unfortunate. I don’t think attack ads should have any part in an election. But somehow, if it works, then ﬁne, more power to them, but personally I don’t think it has any place,” said Woo, referring to a ﬂurry of attack ads in the Chinese community that pegged Trudeau as someone who wants to put drugs in the hands of children and brothels on street corners. Wong defeated Woo by one of the narrowest margins in the country with 17,693 votes (43.5 per cent) to Woo’s 17,230 (just missing an automatic recount per Elections Canada rules). Woo also said it was hard to get past the marijuana issue with some members of the community. “I think it was rather unfortunate. There should be more issues that we should be aware of than marijuana. To the majority of people in this country, it’s a non issue but to

It proved to be a wise move as Peter, gambling on a swing from thousands of advanced votes that may have still to be counted, suggested that all was not lost. Just over two hours later, at about 10:45 p.m., Wong was re-elected for a second time and for a third term, with 17,693 votes or 43.5 per cent of the ballots cast. In the end, Woo was only 463 votes shy of a seat in Ottawa, with 17,230 markers and 42.3 per cent of the ballots cast. Asked why she managed to succeed where so many of her Tory compatriots failed from coast to coast, Wong said the “people of Richmond recognize how hard I work for them. “I truly represent their voice and I will continue to do that for the next four years.” Moments earlier, and to rapturous applause, Wong entered the room and simply said, “what a night.” And referring to the shocking turnaround from a Conservative to a Liberal majority under Justin Trudeau, Wong said, “Tonight is a night of mixed feelings. “…but I want to thank the Prime Minister…who visited us here in Richmond. “It looks like we are no longer in government, but I will be able to hold the new government to account here in Richmond.” Wong’s other rivals, Vincent Chiu of the Green Party got just 1,152 votes or 2.8 per cent, while the NDP’s Jack Trovato garnered 4,613, or 11.3 per cent of the vote.

Orange ‘crushed’ as Grits, Tories battle for ridings B

y the time the polls in B.C. ofﬁcially closed in B.C. at 7 p.m. Monday night and the platters of fruit and sandwiches were laid out on a table, the mood at the NDP's election night HQ across from Richmond City Hall turned from sombre to more of a wake. Candidates in both ridings — Jack Trovato in Richmond Centre and Scott Stewart in the newly created riding of Steveston Richmond-East — were contemplative as they witnessed a "red wave" of Liberal support wash over most of the country and Richmond, relegating the NDP to also-ran status. "We're very clearly seeing that Canadians are voting for change," said Trovato, a teacher who also ran, unsuccessfully, in last November's election for school trustee. "We were hoping that it would be the NDP leading that change with Tom Mulcair and an NDP government in Ottawa, but Canadians have casted their ballots." Watching the early results, Trovato said he still held out hope that, "B.C. might be the watershed province where an orange wave comes from the West." But as it became clearer the NDP would be relegated to third party status after achieving the level of ofﬁcial opposition in the last federal election, Trovato said there is bound to be much analysis of where things went wrong and what worked. "We fought a very good campaign here in Richmond and we engaged the voters and talked about issues affecting people here in Richmond — childcare, healthcare, better pensions for seniors, and climate change,"

he said. "And if at the very least we brought more awareness out. And perhaps with that we can hold the next government accountable to that." For his part, Stewart, a retired RCMP member, said, "It's always a victory when voters go out and make their choice. And it's been a good election. We campaigned well. We saw some good platforms and policy. And the voters have made their choice." Stewart added he was understandably disappointed at the showing of the NDP nationally, and in Steveston Richmond-East. "Politics is fickle," he said. "We'll be back. We're not done yet." Asked what the party has learned from the results, and what it could have done better, Stewart said the NDP will return with a well considered platform with energetic candidates, but thought this time around the pent up desire for change on the national political stage is what undid the NDP's fortunes. "We can armchair quarterback and speculate all night long," he said. "The voters have examined the parties, their platforms and their candidates and decided on what meets their needs." Stewart added that when the NDP sets its platform it does so on principles, not in a "vote-seeking manner." "We came up with a platform that we felt was best for Canada, put it forward, and I was proud of it," he said. "And it represented the finest ideals in Canadian politics." At the end of Monday night, Trovato finished with 4,613 votes, or 11.3 per cent, as Conservative incumbent Alice Wong and Liberal challenger Lawrence Woo battled in out with a mere 463 votes separating them. Stewart was also in third place in his riding with 5,248 votes, or 12.1 per cent.

ELECTION in the City

Students cheer democracy Alan Campbell Staff Reporter

aybe they were tucked up in bed early, had turned off the TV in disgust or perhaps there were a few too young to partake of the free drink on offer at Ceili’s pub? Whatever the reason, not as many of the youth vote as expected turned out for the election pub night organized by local students on Monday. Daniel Ribi, Milica Komad and Alex Lund-Murray, via a Facebook event page, had hoped to tempt somewhere between 50 and 100 fresh faces to the Westminster Highway watering hole with a free drink if they could prove they made their mark — something remarkably few 18-25-yearolds appear to do. Of the 30 brave souls who watched the pub’s TVs intently as the Liberal’s red tide swept across the nation, most, said LundMurray, were pulling for the Grits, eager to see an end to the Stephen Harper

regime. “It’s not what we expected and we were all pretty shocked,” she said of the national result. “We had hoped for a few more people (to come out), but it was deﬁnitely worthwhile.” Lund-Murray said she and her fellow students were surprised at how long it took to count the votes in the Richmond Centre riding, one of the last to be ﬁnalized in the country.

The majority of her drinking buddies were pulling for a Lawrence Woo (Liberal) upset, she said, adding that “many felt (Alice) Wong (Conservative) had been there too long.” “Some of them had voted in that riding and had voted strategically (to get Wong out).” Their votes kept it interesting, but it wasn’t enough to tip the scale, with Wong holding onto her seat by just 463 ballots.

ichmondites took to polling stations Monday as the Richmond News sampled some of their intentions throughout the day. Whether their vote went blue, green, red or orange, many voters made it clear that it was a right and a duty to vote. At Homma elementary school, Gordon Dalglish said it was his “civic and national duty” to vote. He said he voted against the Conservatives, but changed his vote from 2011. “If we want change there is no use in staring at four walls and doing nothing,” said Dalglish, who was amongst a small sample of apparent strategic voters. Suisheng Tang voted for the Conservatives at Spul’u’kwuks elementary school in Terra Nova. “It’s our obligation as a citizen. I want the future to be bright” said Tang, who said trust was a major factor for her this election. Tang also said she wants a “country that respects immigrants,” given that Canada was built on immigration. Further east, at Peace Mennonite Church, Mia Li told the News there were “not many choices,” however it was her responsibility to vote. Li checked the Liberal box, stating that a decade of Stephen Harper was enough and that she “wanted a change.” Li said she liked the fact Liberal leader Justin Trudeau was younger, but still hoped he would reverse his decision to legalize marijuana. Throughout the afternoon there appeared to be far more older adults and seniors voting, however, one youth voter, 18 year-old Ben Teplitsky, turned up to his ﬁrst federal poll at Homma. “I feel as a Canadian citizen it’s important to vote and I should practise my right,” said the Liberal supporter, who thought Trudeau cared more about youth issues. For some, international issues were of primary concern. Frank Redwood voted in Steveston-Richmond East and based his vote on Harper’s stated commitments to Israeli sovereignty. “He’s the only one who stands behind Israel,” said Redmond, who, as a First Nations person, said he voted for Harper, despite concerns over the lack of potable drinking water on First Nations reserves. A young Chinese-Canadian man, who didn’t want to be named, said he considered the NDP’s platform on Syrian refugees. But another big factor for him was the New Democrats’ focus on small business incentives, as he said he expects to open a business soon.

The News only spoke to two NDP supporters, both of whom were younger voters, including one ﬁrst-time voter, Daina Freigang. One man, a senior Chinese-Canadian who voted at Spul’u’kwuks, said moral and ethical issues — such as marijuana reforms, same-sex marriage and assisted suicide — swayed him to vote Conservative. Some were not convinced by Harper’s

assertion that he was the best choice for the economy. “I want to see the economy grow,” said Liberal voter Rodolfo Rivera. Family matters were another issue on tap for Richmondites. One Chinese-Canadian family of four in east Richmond was split, with the younger couple switching to the Liberals while the parents stayed with the Conservatives. The younger man said the Liberals’ child tax beneﬁts swayed his vote.

round 20 people are in temporary accommodation after a fire ripped through their apartment block in the early hours of Friday. Shortly before 2 a.m. Richmond RCMP and Richmond Fire-Rescue were called to the blaze in the 8000-block of Bennett Road, just southeast of No. 3 Road and Granville Avenue. As firefighters tackled the flames,

more than 20 people were evacuated from their homes. Coast Mountain Bus Company buses were used to keep people warm, while temporary housing was being arranged by the City of Richmond’s Emergency Social Services. “People helping each other mobilize and get to safety was truly heartwarming,” said Richmond RCMP’s Cpl. Dennis Hwang. “Thankfully, no injuries or fatalities were reported. We are working with Richmond Fire-Rescue to determine

the cause of the fire. “Although we are in the preliminary stages of our investigation, this fire is being treated as suspicious. “We will be combing the area for evidence, and we’d appreciate hearing from anyone who might have any information on this fire.” If you have information on this crime, contact Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212.

t least one “village-scale” grocery store appears to be coming to Steveston. Despite much speculation about a grocer coming to Imperial Landing at Steveston’s waterfront boardwalk, one developer is sidestepping that quagmire and looking elsewhere — the site of Rod’s Building Supplies. Platform Properties Ltd. held an open house two weeks ago at McMath secondary school to discuss its plans to build a commercial-residential complex bound by Moncton Street, Third Avenue and Chatham Street. “We’re at the very start of the process and we wanted to get out to the community right at the get go, introduce ourselves and hear from them to get their feedback,” said Kyle Shury, Platform’s principal. “What we heard strongly is there’s interest in a grocer within the community,” said Shury. Rod’s plans to stay put until at least the end of 2016, and there has been no ownership change to date. The development is in the early zoning process, added Shury. Steveston already has one grocery store, the long standing Super Grocer. However, thousands of new residents have moved into the area over the last 15 years and it’s not hard to ﬁnd chatter in favour of a second option. Shury said the present building supplies facility could incorporate a “village-scale grocery store” of about 15,000 squarefeet, estimated to be slightly bigger than Super Grocer. Shury said there would also be smaller retail shops along Third Avenue and Moncton Street, with “a couple levels” of residential on top. The development would be in keeping with the Ofﬁcial Community Plan, he added. “The intent is to work within the area plan,” said Shury. About 60 people attended the public forum paid for by Platform Properties.

COMMUNITY in Focus

Barriers to the disabled still exist: Hansen GRAEMEWOOD Staﬀ Reporter

GWOODRICHMONDNEWS.COM

t should come as no surprise that disabilities champion Rick Hansen has made Richmond ground zero for promoting progressive accessibility policies for the disabled — it is his hometown, after all. On Friday, Hansen and Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation Michelle Stilwell participated in an accessibility assessment at South Arm Community Centre to promote the B.C. government’s partnership with the Rick Hansen Foundation to create an objective framework for assessing how well businesses and public spaces cater to a full range of disabled people, who may be employees or customers. Hansen and Stilwell — both of whom use wheelchairs — shared a laugh as they rode over a speed bump while assessing the centre’s parking lot accessibility. “That’s where the idea of slowing down trafﬁc wasn’t intersected with the need for accessibility. That speed bump could have been a little further back, behind the wheelchair spot,” noted Hansen. Over the last year, with $240,000 of funding from Stilwell’s ministry, the foundation completed 75 assessments of businesses and public facilities throughout the province, including several in Richmond. According to the results, 52 of the places tested “favourably.” Hansen said it is important for the govern-

ment to create objective measurements. He said he wants his foundation to be a third party working with government to create those standards. As such, his foundation created a team of assessors. “They are actually measuring the level of accessibility. People can do certain things for accessibility and think that’s it, but in reality you may leave a group behind,” said Hansen. Accessibility assessments look at various factors of a building. For instance, do curbs have ramps for the physically disabled? Are there physical markers on the sidewalks for blind people? Is there appropriate signage for the hearing impaired? Are fire escape routes adequate? “There’s a lot of specifics that are absolute standards and we need a qualified team who are trained and people can trust to cover all the ground,” said Hansen. South Arm scored a 4.3/5 on its assessment, which can be found online at Planat. com. People are invited to submit their own reviews in a comment section, as well. Some factors aren’t as obvious, as noted by accessibility specialist Laetitia Mfamobani who noted South Arm’s entrance has a low noise level, which is good for blind people, such as herself. Stilwell said it is important to work with the private sector and non-profit groups in order to meet B.C.’s goal of becoming “the most progressive place in Canada for people with disabilities.” The government has set 2024 to meet that goal.

“It’s about having standards in place and ensuring that people are meeting those standards and seeing how they can improve,” said Stilwell. Making workplaces more accessible is also part of the government’s broader job creation strategy as it diversiﬁes the workforce, noted Stilwell. In a news release, the ministry stated

550,000 British Columbians self-identify as having a disability. And according to the Royal Bank of Canada disabled people have an estimated spending power of $25 billion annually across the country. But barriers continue to exist. Mfamobani noted that despite post-secondary education, she found it difﬁcult to ﬁnd a job.

‘Wild Things’ help light up Halloween Philip Raphael Staff Reporter

praphael@richmond-news.com

undreds of jack-o’lanterns, strings of lights stretching off into the distance and some friendly forest creatures can mean only one thing — it’s time for the Wild Things event this weekend (Oct. 24 and 25 from 5:30 - 8:30 p.m.) at the Richmond Nature Park. The popular event, aimed at young children and their families, is back for another year. And visitors will be in for quite a show that is just slightly spooky, said Brenda Bartley-Smith, president of the Richmond Nature Park Society. “One of our trails will be decorated with jack-o’lanterns, lights and some wonderful costumed characters to greet the children — everything from raccoons and squirrels, to witches and scarecrows,” Bartley-Smith said. “Meanwhile, inside the nature house there will be storytelling.” The idea of the event, which started about a decade ago, is to bring Hal-

loween and nature together in one place on the weekend before the little ghosts and goblins get decked out in their own costumes and go trick or treating for goodies. And to date, it’s been an overwhelming success. Last year, the Wild Things event drew upwards of 1,000 people each night, although high winds forced the early closure on the Saturday. With mild weather forecast for the coming weekend, a sizeable number of visitors are expected, making parking at the site a premium. One the best bets for visitors commuting by car is for the youngsters and an adult to be dropped off at the park and then ﬁnd parking for their vehicle, if the lot is full, further down Westminster Hwy. as far as Shell Road. But however you manage to get there, it will be worth the effort, Bartley-Smith said as plenty goes into staging the Wild Things as a large volunteer force lends their hands to getting the site organized. “With that many pumpkins needing carving, we call on those with an artistic bend

to let their imaginations go,” Bartley-Smith said. “The result is quite amazing.” So, too, is the spin-off trafﬁc that comes from the near-Halloween show. “We get a lot of people coming back at other times in the year because they’ve either come to the nature park with their school or because of the Wild Things event,” Bartley-Smith said. “And now we’re getting the multi-generations — grandparents who brought their

kids and are now bring their grandchildren.” All children attending must be accompanied by an adult. Cost for the event is $2 for children three-years-old and up; adults are $3. Families of four are $10, and children under three are free. Strollers are welcome. The Richmond Nature Park is at 11851 Westminster Hwy.

ou’ve got to take care of your balls and protect them as much as possible. That’s the mantra for anyone wanting to succeed in a game of paintball, whether you’re a novice or an eagle-eyed sniper. It’s also the case when it comes to the nationwide fight against testicular cancer, the most common form of the disease in men aged 15 to 34. And that’s the very reason why Richmond Indoor Paintball (RIP) has decided to dedicate the world’s first Guinness Book of Records attempt at the longest paintball game to raising the awareness of the disease. On Thursday, Nov. 5, four teams of four players — who’ve all been raising funds for Testicular Cancer Canada — will compete non-stop for 24 hours. “This is the first attempt at the record,” said Ryan Fitzgerald, owner/operator of RIP on

Westminster Highway, near No. 2 Road. “We really want to raise the awareness of testicular cancer as it affects young males, which is our demographic. Protecting your balls and taking care of your balls is a big part of our game, as is the ﬁght against testicular cancer, so it seemed a good match-up. “We are going to do it in teams of four, doing it in four-hour shifts, so it should work pretty well.” Fitzgerald estimates the teams will burn through about 40 to 50 cartons of paintballs with 2,000 in each box, meaning up to 100,000 shots could be ﬁred. Testicular cancer occurs most often in men between the ages of 20 and 39 and is most common in white men, especially those of Scandinavian descent. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, it’s estimated that in 2015, 1,050 Canadian men will be diagnosed with testicular cancer. In 2010, 40 Canadians died from testicular cancer.

or only the second time in 33 years, Jordan’s Haunted House, regarded as Richmond’s biggest and best haunted house, has been cancelled. The faithful creator of Jordan’s Haunted House in Burkeville, Tim Jordan, has had to cancel his popular display due to serious illness in the family. The only other time he has cancelled, Jordan told the News on Friday, was 22 years ago, when his son was born. Jordan, who has his own catering business, posted a message on Facebook, explaining how his wife is in the hospital with kidney failure complications and that he won’t be able to put on his famous display. Jordan’s house has, in the past, featured some amazing creations such as alien surgeries and a skeletal horse and carriage.

“With my responsibilities to our customers of our family business and the time left available to me, I will be unable to stage this year’s production,” said Jordan on his page. “If everyone could pass the word for me, it would be very much appreciated.” He also told the News how he “hopes to be up and running again next year,” adding that a donation to the Kidney Foundation of Canada would be very much appreciated. His house has been likened to a theme park, such is the extent of his efforts, which usually sprawl out over his entire yard, ﬁll up ﬁve tents and encroach into his garage and the exterior of his Sea Island home.

! Foodbank fundraiser a go

While Jordan’s Haunted House will not be up and running this year, Jennifer Pavlovic’s annual Halloween display will be welcoming visitors, as usual. Located at 11731 No. 2 Road, the fun for all ages attraction will be open Oct. 30 - 31 from 5 - 11 p.m. and is a fundraiser for the Richmond Food Bank.

We are delighted to invite you to be part of a unique, first of its kind, dining experience.

How to invite more natural light into your home A

dark home can be dreary and drain residents’ energy levels rather quickly. Natural light has the power to make a person feel more energized, and it also can buoy spirits. As a result, many homeowners want to increase the amount of natural light in their homes. Increasing natural sunlight in a home reduces reliance on interior lighting. This reduces energy bills and lowers the home’s carbon footprint. Natural light also can help people in a home feel happier and more content. According to the National Institutes of Health, some people experience serious mood changes during the winter months. Dubbed seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, this condition may be effectively treated with light therapy. Exposure to more light can alleviate fatigue, loss of interest and sad or anxious feelings. Homeowners looking to increase the natural light in their homes, be it for medical or aesthetic reasons, can do so in a variety of ways. • Keep the drapes open. Opening blinds and curtains as far as they will go allows as much light to shine in without having to do major home renovations or spend any money at all. Homeowners concerned about privacy can install a window ^lm that allows viewing from the inside only. • Clean the windows. Dirty windows

obstruct sunlight from entering the home. They also can make a home appear unkempt. Spend a free day cleaning the windows so that they’ll let ample light in. • Install seamless or low-pro^le windows and doors. Seamless sliding doors enable a large amount of light to enter the home. Such doors can replace an entire wall to brighten up a dark area of a home. The more windows and doors a home has, the brighter it will be. • Take inventory of dark spots. A room may be dark because it simply does not have a layout conducive to brightness. Is a wall blocking light from reaching a portion of the room? Think about changing the room’s layout or even making structural changes to improve light distribution.

The addition of a small window on a south- or west-facing wall can greatly improve natural light. Using mirrors can also re\ect light where it is needed. • Invest in skylights or solar tubes. Both skylights or solar tubes enable light to enter a home from above. Skylights are larger and require considerably more work to install, while solar tubes are more low-pro^le and can be put into rooms that do not abut the roo\ine, such as those obstructed by attic space. The tubular cylinders are installed between the roof and the ceiling and carry light through a re\ective tube to the room below. Diffusers on tubular daylighting devices scatter the rays so the light doesn’t cast harsh shadows, and UV ^lters can help protect furniture from discoloring. • Trim shrubs and trees. If trees and bushes are blocking light from entering your home, trim them to enable dappled light to come through. Deciduous trees that will naturally lose their leaves come autumn can be planted on sunny areas of the property. This way in the summer months they will shade the house and keep it cooler, while in winter more sun will stream in when the leaves are shed. Increasing natural light in a home can improve feelings of well-being and also reduce energy consumption during daylight hours.

New windows may allow more natural light to enter a home. Photo submitted

The dos and don’ts of kitchen remodels

ccording to Remodeling magazine’s “2014 Cost vs. Value Report,” a major kitchen remodeling project should enable homeowners to recoup 74.2 percent of their initial investments. Kitchen renovations have long been a safe way to improve the functionality and value of a home. But not every kitchen project is a guaranteed winner. Homeowners may inadvertently make changes that end up sticking out like a sore thumb rather than improving the space. Take a look at these kitchen remodeling dos and don’ts to guide your next undertaking. DO consider the way your kitchen will look with the rest of the home. Keep architectural integrity in mind when designing the space. A farmhouse sink and country cabinets can look out of place in an ultra-modern home. DON’T overlook the importance of a seasoned designer or architect. These pros will know the tricks to maximizing space and achieving the ideal layout of appliances and may be able to recommend local contractors and vendors. DO look beyond surface details to the structural integrity of the design. The kitchen should be functional, long-lasting and beautiful. DON’T design just for today, but look to the future as well. Unless you are willing to spend $50,000 every ^ve years, look for styles and materials that will last for the long haul. Older homeowners may want to make adjustments now that address potential mobility issues down the road. DO work with what you have. A complete demolition and renovation is not always necessary to achieve the desired results. Only invest in major changes if something is not working (such as having to walk across the entire kitchen to access the stove) or is unsafe. Otherwise, minor upgrades may do the trick.

DON’T over-improve the space. A fully equipped commercial kitchen may be handy for a professional chef, but the average person may not need an industrial hood and indoor pizza oven. When you make excessive improvements, you may not be able to recoup as much of the money spent because your home will not be on par with the values of homes in the neighborhood. DO make sure you can afford the project. Plan for some unexpected purchases and plan out the renovation according to your budget. Skimping on materials or design because of lack of money may leave you feeling dissatis^ed afterward.

While kitchen renovations do provide a decent return on the investment, there are plenty of considerations before you start your project, such as making sure the design theme will not look dated too soon. Photos submitted

ARTSin the City

Creating a sense of belonging JOVANNI SY Contributor After the success of the 2015 Paciﬁc Festival, which concluded in September with three sold-out performances of a Cantonese adaptation of Tuesdays with Morrie, Gateway kicks off their 2015/2016 season with an acclaimed production For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again from Full Circle: First Nations Performance that features two Aboriginal performers in the lead roles. In anticipation of sharing this First Nations perspective on a Canadian classic with audiences in Richmond, artistic director Jovanni Sy took the opportunity to reﬂect on the state of cultural diversity in the theatre community.

have loved theatre all my life. And almost every good thing I have in my life, I owe to my chosen vocation. Theatre has been good to me, and I am privileged to enjoy an artistic leadership role in a community with so many fellow theatre-lovers who have given so much to make the Gateway such a beloved cultural institution. So, as an entrenched theatre “insider,” it feels strange to confess that when I go to most plays in the Lower Mainland, I feel like a gate crasher at a party to which I was not invited. Those who have been fortunate to travel the world will have probably at one time experienced a strange sense of displacement or estrangement. It might occur in a market in Bombay, a bazaar in Marrakesh, or on the streets of Kowloon. It’s that sudden recognition that absolutely nobody around me looks like me. It’s not a scary moment. But it often underscores the feeling I do not belong here. This is how I, as a person of colour,

have felt about Canadian theatre for most of my life. Like the traveler in Marrakesh, I see few people around me in the audience who look like me. Then I look on stage and I see no one who looks like me. I wonder if I’ve taken a wrong turn and ended up somewhere I don’t belong. I don’t presume to speak for anyone else, but I can’t help but wonder if other nonwhite theatre lovers feel the same way. Common sense tells me that we, in Vancouver theatre, cannot reasonably expect the patronage of people whose existence we marginalize or deny outright. Throughout my career, I have been a proponent of making Canadian theatre more inclusive. By “inclusive,” I mean that our stages and audiences should look like the communities we live in. By any objective measure, theatre in the Lower Mainland is anything but inclusive. Half of our population are women. Yet over three quarters of the playwrights produced and directors hired are men. Nearly half of our population belong to visible minorities (a term that will have to change to visible majority shortly). Yet over 90 per cent of the performers we see on professional stages in Metro Vancouver are white. I believe that this disparity is the single greatest threat to the future of theatre in the Lower Mainland. If we do not address it immediately, professional theatre here will see its audience numbers continue to decline. If we only cater to a sector of our society, we will quickly lose relevance to the whole. I desperately don’t want to see that happen. Thus, as the leader of a professional theatre, I feel compelled to move Gateway Theatre towards truly reﬂecting today’s Richmond. I want to invite more people to the party. At the same time, I want to reassure our current guests that they are and will always be

welcome here. During my time here, I’ve programmed beloved classics such as Crazy For You, The Wizard of Oz, and Rodgers and Hammerstein: Out of a Dream. These are plays that are near and dear to me and there will continue to be a time and place for plays like this in the future. Along with them, however, we will feature plays that make our tent a little bigger. The piece on our Main Stage Oct. 8 - 24 is a good example of this. So we’ve taken some baby steps at Gateway towards an inclusive future. Could we have done more in the past three years? Absolutely, yet I feel we’re moving in the right direction.

oming off five days in hospital where I was too sick to even read, I find myself a bit unfocused even now, several days later. My attention is flitting around like a hummingbird; hence some brief reviews of browseable books. Style & Simplicity: An A to Z Guide to Living a More Beautiful Life by Ted Kennedy Watson is an inspirational little book that helps you pay attention to the tiny details in life. Whether it’s using old apothecary jars in which to store buttons, or putting asparagus and kale in glasses and displaying them like flowers, the author has come up with some truly simple yet stunning ideas for decorating and food. One particularly cool idea is to put collections of favourite things (like watch faces, corks, billiard balls, dominoes, etc.) into bowls as decorative effects. There are even fabulous recipes like Lemon Orzo with Feta! For you artsy types who like to decorate outside the box, check it out! Eating Rome: Living the Good Life in the Eternal City by Elizabeth Minchilli is an insider’s look at food and life in one of the most magical cities in the world. Having spent three weeks there a couple of years ago, I could identify with her seemingly weird

tips about how to order and drink coffee in Italy (it’s not as straightforward as it seems) and appreciate that food is not just for sustenance but is a language all its own. I learned that eating anywhere near a monument (which is just about everywhere in Rome) is forbidden, and learned the finer points of how to eat a Carciofi alla giudea, or Jewish artichoke. In the historyladen city of Rome much of life revolves around food and eating. It’s practically a spectator sport. Even if you don’t plan to go there, this book is a delicious little peek into the singular world of Roman food and the customs that surround it. Now I’m no expert on juice and its health benefits, but apparently Mimi Kirk, author of The Ultimate Book of Modern Juicing is. Alongside the standard fruit and vegetable juices, Kirk offers up recipes for interesting juices that she claims can combat diseases, help strengthen the immune system and protect against free radicals. So, if you don’t mind buying three to six pounds of fruits and vegetables to make 16 ounces of juice, go for it!

SPORTS Beyond the Scores

Rep Classic attracting top teams to Oval Mark BOOTH

Sports Editor

MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

t has taken little time for the Pacific Coast Female Rep Hockey Classic to establish itself as a premier destination for out-oftown teams. In just its third year, the Richmond Ravens-hosted event will have representation from Alaska, Washington State and Vancouver Island. The Classic gets underway Friday and concludes on Sunday, with the bulk of games at the Richmond Olympic Oval. It features three age divisions — Midget, Bantam and Pee Wee. The Ravens are the defending provincial champions at the Midget and Bantam levels. “Five of the six Midget teams are from outside the Lower Mainland and four of the six in Bantam too,” said tournament director Christine Soon. “Unfortunately we have had to turn some teams away with these age groups, while Pee Wee seems to go up and down with each year.” What the Rep Hockey Classic has going for it is being a tournament that strictly caters to elite programs. The perks include playing three 20-minute stop time periods with full intermissions and ice cleans. Teams are also guaranteed four roundrobin games and the chance to play a fifth in Sunday afternoon’s division finals. The Ravens added the Rep Classic to compliment their popular and long-running Ice Classic which typically concludes the girls hockey season during spring break in March. “We have our Ice Classic which is enormous, but there is always a void of rep teams because provincials are right around the same time,” explained Ravens president David Pfortmueller. “This is focused on completely being a rep tournament. It’s basically run just like provincials. There are lots of girls tournaments all season long but this is the only one I am aware of that is rep focused for

elite teams. We like people to show up to this tournament knowing they are going to get great competition but not knowing their opponents. Christine has done a fabulous job putting this altogether and attracting these teams.” What also enhances the Rep Hockey Classic’s reputation is having almost the entire tournament hosted at the Oval. The Ravens can thank the efforts of former Bantam A coach Tony Lindsay for that. He worked alongside Soon for the event’s inaugural year and managed to secure both sheets at the Oval on an annual basis. “Playing at the Oval is a great opportunity for the visiting teams and for us to show-

case Richmond and the legacy the Olympics have left us,” agreed Pfortmueller. “It’s a fabulous facility that is unique around the world. We are bringing in people from outside of the area to enjoy it, knowing the fact there were Olympic athletes who trained and competed here.” There will also be plenty to do off the ice for visiting players, coaches and parents including hockey-related seminars that will take place at the Oval. While the spotlight is on rep hockey this weekend, Pfortmueller is quick to point out all Ravens’ programs are strong as ever as he begins his first season as club president after serving the past six years on the

executive. “The vast majority of our participants are in our house program,” he added. “All our teams are doing well with strong coaching staffs in place for every one of them. “One of the things we are rolling out this season is a mentoring program between the younger and older kids to get them more involved. Hopefully, it will create a legacy of female coaches in the future for the next generation of players.” The third annual Pacific Coast Female Rep Hockey Classic concludes Sunday with the Pee Wee Final (1:30 p.m. Oval North), Bantam Final (1:45 p.m. Oval South) and Midget Final (4 p.m. Oval North).

Rapid swimmers selected for Prospects Camp and all-star teams

our members of the Richmond Rapids’ age group athletes have been selected for this fall’s Swim BC Prospects Camp. The camp features the top eight male and female swimmers in three age categories (13-15 year old girls and 14-16 year old boys) from across the province. To be selected, each athlete had to post a top score in a combination of two events in each stroke category. Amanda McCallum (backstroke), Brian Yu (sprint freestyle), Rich Rakchtis (breaststroke), and Ethan Chan

(distance freestyle) will be attending the camp this fall, with date and location still to be announced. This is the first time for McCallum, Yu, and Chan. Rakchtis was selected last year for breaststroke as well. Meanwhile, five Rapids have been named to a Regional All-Star team. The team is made up of Grade 11-12 swimmers from the Lower Mainland, and will be competing as a team against universities from Western Canada next month.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Application #: KMC-ROW IVMP-2015 Applicant: Kinder Morgan Canada (KMC), 7815 Shellmont Street, Burnaby BC V5A 4S9 Cheryl Thesen (403-358-2509) Agent: SMC Consulting, 1582 Lawrence Avenue, Penticton BC V2A 3C1 Tel/Fax: (250) 492-6193 e-mail: smcconsulting@shaw.ca In accordance with the British Columbia’s Pest Management Act and Regulations, KMC is required to develop a Pest Management Plan (PMP) (for KMC the PMP is referred to as the Integrated Vegetation Management Plan (IVMP)). The PMP manages problem vegetation, including control of noxious weeds and invasive plants within KMC’s rights-of-way and access roads to its pipeline systems and facilities. In British Columbia, KMC operates the Trans Mountain Pipeline transporting crude oil and refined petroleum products and the Jet Fuel Pipeline transporting aviation fuel. The pipelines are located below ground and in proximity to the following communities in British Columbia: Valemount, Albreda, Blue River, Avola, Vavenby, Clearwater, Little Fort, Darfield, McLure, Heffley Creek, Kamloops, Merritt, Kingsvale, Hope, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Sumas, Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam, Burnaby, Vancouver and Richmond. This PMP has been prepared to replace the existing 5 year PMP which expires in 2016. The proposed duration of the IVMP (PMP) is from March 31, 2016 to March 31, 2021. The vegetation management and weed control methods proposed for use include hand cutting and pulling, mowing, trimming, pruning, selective slashing, retaining existing low ground cover, and seeding, fertilization where set backs permit and tree/shrub plantings. The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the PMP (IVMP) applies and may include the use biological control agents. KMC conducts all work, including pest management, in strict adherence with all applicable laws and regulations. The common names and an example of trade names of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminocyclopyrachlor (Navius VM), aminopyralid (Milestone), chlorsulfuron (Telar), clopyralid (Lontrel 360), dicamba (Vanquish), diflufenzopyr (Overdrive), flumioxazin (Payload), fluroxypyr (Retain B), glyphosate (Vantage XRT), MCPA (MCPA Amine 500), mecoprop-P (Mecoprop-P), metsulfuron methyl (Escort), picloram (Tordon 22K), triclopyr (Garlon XRT), 2,4-D (2,4-D Amine 600), Hasten (adjuvant) and siloxylated polyether (adjuvant). Application methods include: backpack, power hose and nozzle, wick/wipe-on applicator, squirt bottle and boom sprayer. A draft copy of the proposed IVMP (PMP) and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined in detail online http://www.kindermorgan.com/content/docs/kmc_row_ivmp.pdf or by contacting the Agent listed above. A person(s) wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant (c/o SMC Consulting, Agent, at the address listed above), within 30 days of the publication of this notice.
