Bhullar donates precious medals to new ROX at Oval Alan Campbell

T
he first question he asked was, “how good is your security?” Suffice to say, Richmond’s Commonwealth gold medal-winning and Olympic wrestling hero Arjan Bhullar had mixed feelings about handing over his prized possessions for the new ROX museum, which opens this Saturday exclusively for Richmond residents. Bhullar’s memorabilia will be among more than 500 Olympic, Commonwealth and other sport artifacts on permanent display at the Richmond Olympic Experience (ROX) at the Olympic Oval. The wrestling champ, now an up-an-coming MMA fighter, has given up his Commonwealth gold medal, 2012 Olympic Games wrestling suit, tracksuit and wrestling boots

for the exhibit. And at the official unveiling on Friday, Bhullar said the moment will be a proud one, not just for him, but for his team and his extended family.
“The stuff in there is priceless to me and I would be curious as to what the insurance costs are,” joked Bhullar. “Outside of all the memories, these items are really all I have. But rather than have them all sit in the house, it’s better they’re on display and I can then maybe multiply hundreds of times over the inspiration. “But this weekend will be a celebration for sure; it’s a big day for everyone who has helped me throughout my career. I’m very proud and privileged to be a part of (the ROX).” Aran Kay, the Olympic Oval’s program manager for marketing and communications, said being a member of the IOC’s Olympic Museum Network will enable the facility to participate in artifact exchanges that will change some feature exhibits from time to time.

NEWSin the City Police fear for woman’s safety R
ichmond RCMP are fearing for the safety of a 41 yearold woman who went missing last week. Peggy (Yu Yan) Sun was last seen near the Bridgeport Canada Line station on Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 5:30 p.m. “It is highly unusual " Peggy Sun. for Peggy to go missing,” said Richmond RCMP spokesman Cpl. Dennis Hwang. “We hope Peggy or someone who knows her will hear this message. Her family and the police are very concerned for her well-being.” Sun is an Asian female, 5’ 3” tall, and weighs around 120 lbs. She has black hair, brown eyes and wears prescription glasses, according to Hwang. She was last seen wearing a green hoodie and carrying a green purse, noted Hwang. “Anyone with information as to Peggy’s whereabouts is urged to contact their local police,” stated Hwang.
Passport fraud ends in 7-year prison term Graeme Wood
Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com
A
n unlicensed Richmond immigration consultant, who committed tax evasion and fraud by creating fake passports,has been sentenced to seven years in prison on Oct. 23. The case exposed the fact that a significant number of Canadian citizens who have recently emigrated from China have likely obtained their citizenship illegally. Xun “Sunny” Wang had pleaded guilty to eight charges in connection to his businesses: New Can Consultants Ltd. and Wellong International Investments. Judge Reg Harris also fined Wang just over $900,000, an amount he must pay back to the federal government within one year. It was found that Wang’s companies procured approximately $10 million from 1,200 people in exchange for fraudulent immigration services. Search warrants at the time of his arrest last year uncovered evidence of 321 fraudulent Chinese passports. His work was widespread throughout China, as the passports came from 243
different cities. “The work typically involved helping clients obtain and maintain permanent residence status and/or Canadian citizenship,” stated Harris. In many cases, Wang falsified the amount of time a Chinese citizen had spent in Canada. Wang often altered stamps or added new ones to his client’s passports. He created misleading paper trails that led immigration officials to believe his clients were in Canada for longer than they were (in order to meet the standards of permanent residency, a precursor for citizenship). “Mr. Wang’s offences were complex, sophisticated, and well thought-out,” stated Harris. Wang, 46, is married and has two teenage boys. He has a university degree in engineering. He came to Canada in 1997 and was granted citizenship in 2000. He started working as an immigration consultant in 2001. From 2007 to 2012 it was found that Wang failed to report more than $2.7 million in income, resulting in the evasion of about $730,000 in federal income tax.
" Some of the forged passports.
His income reporting was so low that he collected income tax benefits. “It is clear he was the mastermind behind the scheme. His conduct likely contributed to numerous persons fraudulently obtaining permanent residency and citizenship. I expect the Immigration authorities will have to review the circumstances of all those concerned and it is quite likely that some persons will be removed from Canada,” stated Harris. The defense for Wang argued for a 30-month sentence, but Harris noted Wang’s actions undermined public confidence and support for the immigration process. Harris also noted Wang violated the terms of his bail.

Bhullar said having your “body of work” on show for all to see is a “huge” moment, considering he’s been wrestling since he was in diapers. And, he said, it’s also a significant day for his East Indian community and for all immigrants to Canada. “They all come to Canada for a better life and this, I hope, people see as one of the success stories,” said Bhullar, who was born in Canada to an immigrant family. “For me, this is about giving back to Canada.” Also part of ROX will be winter sports simulators, interactive challenges and a theatre. Go online to therox.ca for more information about the Richmond resident-exclusive days and ticket details.
Meanwhile, a world record holding javelin thrower, tragically killed in the Second World War; a 14-time Paralympic medallist; and, the only athlete to win championship rings in three major pro football leagues — these are just three of the local sporting heroes who will be permanently celebrated in the new Richmond Sports Wall of Fame, which will be officially unveiled Saturday, Nov. 21. “The Richmond Sport Wall of Fame allows us to " Bill Disbrow salute the extraordinary athletes, coaches, officials and builders who have helped make Richmond better and to share our community pride in their achievements,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie. The Wall of Fame will be launched with the induction of 16 athletes, coaches, officials and builders who have made their mark in local, national and international sport over the past century. The induction ceremony begins at 11 a.m. on Saturday at the Richmond Olympic Oval. The public is invited to attend. The Wall of Fame will be in the History of Sport in Richmond exhibit, which is part of the Richmond Olympic Experience (ROX), which opens exclusively to Richmond residents on Nov. 21, seven days before the public unveiling Nov. 27.

Son convicted in mom’s murder Keith Fraser The Province
F
ollowing one of the longest-ever jury deliberations in B.C., a man who used a hammer to beat his mother to death and then stuffed her body in a suitcase has been convicted of second-degree murder. The verdict Thursday by a B.C. Supreme Court jury in the case of Yuan Xi Tang, 28, came after 11 days of deliberations and after the jury had been reduced to 10 members from 12 members. If another juror had been discharged, there would have been a mistrial. After the tired-looking jury rendered their verdict, B.C. Supreme Court Justice William Ehrcke asked them to make a recommendation on parole eligibility. Second-degree murder carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison with no parole eligibility of between 10 and 25 years. After about 15 minutes, the jury returned and said four jurors recommended a 25-year period of parole ineligibility, three recommended 20 years, two called for 15 years and one recommended 10 years. A date for a sentencing hearing will be fixed Nov. 20. The accused had little reaction to the verdict as he sat in the prisoner’s dock. The judge expressed his thanks to the jury, saying they had undertaken their duty diligently and conscientiously. “I know this has been a long trial, both in terms of evidence and deliberations. Everyone in this case knows how hard you have worked.” Tang had pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the June 2012 death of his mom, Lianjie Guo, 47, but admitted to the jury that he had committed the lesser and included offence of second-degree murder. The only issue for the jury was whether Tang’s grisly crime was first- or second-
degree murder. During their deliberations, the jury came back with several questions about the elements of first-degree murder, which requires the Crown to prove there was deliberation and planning by the accused. On Monday, the eighth day of deliberations, the jury indicated they could not reach a verdict, but Ehrcke exhorted them to continue their efforts. During the trial, the jury had been shown video of the accused confessing to undercover police officers that he’d killed his mother because she was too controlling and had abused him physically and verbally. Tang was “exiled” to Canada to get an education after his parents had cut him off from his girlfriend in China, who they believed was too poor to marry their son, the jury heard. On the day that his parents were to return to China after visiting him at a rooming house in Richmond, Tang took a hammer and struck his mother over the head. When she was not rendered unconscious and appeared to be struggling, he put some bedding over her head and struck her twice more on the head with the hammer. Tang placed the body in a suitcase and stored it in a storage locker before driving to the No. 2 Road Bridge. He walked to the centre of the bridge and threw the hammer as far as he could out into the Fraser River. Fearing that passing vehicles would spot him if he tried to dump the suitcase into the river from the middle of the bridge, he waded into the water underneath the bridge and pushed the suitcase out into the water as far as he could. Tang told his father only that his mother was missing, and the matter was reported to police as a missing person’s case. See Confession page 6

Let’s trim our waste!
ew figures from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver show Richmond’s housing market continues to be hot, with prices rising at a greater rate than most neighbouring municipalities. As of October, the benchmark price for a typical detached home in Richmond is $1.24 million. A townhouse now costs $573,800, while an apartment costs $381,300. Overall, residential property prices have climbed 16.8 per cent over the past year, which is the fourth greatest rate of change for
areas from Squamish to Maple Ridge. Only Tsawwassen, West Vancouver and east Vancouver have outpaced Richmond. The median selling price in Richmond for a detached home in October was $1.37 million, whereas last year the price was $1.12 million. Since January, 1,995 detached homes have been sold whereas in the same period during 2014 (JanOct) just 1,445 homes were sold. Regionally, home sales are more than one-third above what’s typical for this time
of year yet the supply of homes for sale is the lowest in five years, said Darcy McLeod, president of the REBGV. “This activity has created favourable market conditions for anyone considering selling their home today,” stated McLeod in a news release. Since 2005, detached homes in Richmond have increased in sales value by 127 per cent. Only Vancouver homes have increased at a greater rate (east Vancouver by 137 per cent and west Vancouver by 161 per cent).
Confession: Killing not planned From page 4 Tang and his dad then went public, appealing for help and putting up posters. Six weeks later the suitcase washed up on a beach near Powell River. Police then staged an undercover operation in which two cops approached Tang, posing as gangsters who had discovered the suitcase while fishing. When the undercover cops showed Tang a photo of the suitcase, he confessed in great detail to the crime. He told the cops
a number of times that he’d planned the murder. After his arrest, Tang confessed to the crime to an undercover police officer in his prison cell, a so-called “cell plant” operation. The accused also admitted to the crime to an officer interviewing him. In his testimony, Tang claimed that he only intended to kill his mother after he had struck her the first time with the hammer, making it second-degree murder. He denied that he had planned and deliberated upon the slaying.

Women’s lacrosse turned into a ‘ladies game’ with bronze medals Dear Editor, Re: “Milkmaids’ winning thirst ended in ‘near riot,’” News, Nov. 13. The Milkmaids women’s lacrosse team was truly ahead of its time. These ladies played a rough sport in short shorts in an era when it was scandalous for women to show their legs! My late cousin, Kay Pavelick (born in 1909), played on the rival team, the Vancouver Pirates. No doubt, she would have been involved in one of the bench clearing brawls. Although women’s lacrosse in Richmond came to an end in 1941, it was revived in 1971 and flourished for the next 10 years. Our team was B.C. Provincial Box Lacrosse Champions from 72-76, 79, 81 and National Box Lacrosse Champions in 1980 and 1981. After 1981, many women left the game to raise their families while others hung up their box lacrosse sticks and protective equipment and learned how to play the noncontact international field lacrosse game which is considered a “ladies” game. It was a difficult transition, but it gave a few of us the opportunity to represent Canada at the Women’s World Field Lacrosse Championships in Nottingham, England in 1982. The lady-like manner of the game was emphasized clearly to us newly reformed box lacrosse players when the PA announcer said, “Would the Canadian Ladies stop spitting on the pitch!” We came home with a bronze medal for Canada and respect for the field game. Several Richmond women were recently inducted into the B.C. Lacrosse Hall of Fame for their participation on the B.C. Selects women’s lacrosse team which won 11 consecutive national titles. Many of these ladies also represented Canada at two more World Cups. As with the Milkmaids, a combination of ageing, raising families and no established youth programs for girls to learn the sport led to the demise of an active, competitive ladies lacrosse program (box or field) for many years. This is unfortunate because a young girl playing field lacrosse today could have an opportunity of earning a scholarship to a prestigious U.S. University and/or representing Canada on the national team. I hope that another generation of girls will fall in love with the game, as we did, and carry on the Richmond tradition of women excelling at the game of lacrosse! Vicky Brkich Richmond
Get fruity, before the squirrels Dear Editor, Last week, squirrels started leaving yellow persimmons in my yard, perhaps thinking that they will be camouflaged by the fallen birch leaves. It occurs to me that whoever has persimmon trees in Richmond might like to pick them before the squirrels distribute them, half-eaten, around town. Persimmons can be consumed raw, but are also delicious as a baked pudding, which is easy to make:
Thoroughly mix two cups pureed persimonns, three eggs, one cup brown sugar, one cup flour, one tsp yeast, one tsp baking soda, half tsp salt, half cup melted butter, two and a half cups milk, two tsps cinnamon, half tsp nutmeg, one tsp ginger (optional), one cup raisins or chopped nuts (optional). Pour mixture into a Pyrex pan, well greased with butter. Bake at 165 degrees centigrade for one to one and half hours, until firm. Sabine Eiche Richmond
A Remembrance Day to forget Dear Editor, Yesterday, on Remembrance Day, I thought it would be a nice to bring my son to the ANAF #284 for lunch, to help instill the importance of recognizing the veterans that made the ultimate sacrifice in all the wars past, as well as our service men and women currently representing our country in the missions around the world today. I will never make that mistake again. I was greeted at the door by a gentleman veteran who kindly let us in, but was abruptly and rudely stopped by a female bartender behind the bar who commented to the gentleman that it was nine minutes to 1 p.m. and why are we letting “these people” in. I was shocked by the unwelcome response from this woman and said that I was only trying
to bring my son and my business to a place where the money I spent on lunch would hopefully be channeled to some veterans programs and it was my way of saying thanks. I lived in Richmond since 1957 and my father was in World War II and both him and I were members of the #5 Legion years ago when it still existed and had never seen anyone treated this way. I told the lady I drove all the way from Surrey to meet my friends for lunch and her response was, “There are three other ANAFs on the way to Richmond, why didn’t I go there?”. I now know the difference between a “Legion” and an”ANAF.” Never again. Russ Davis Surrey
FOIs are out of control Dear Editor, Re: “FOI requests delayed for city travel records,” News, Nov. 13. FOI has grown into a monster and needs to be seriously curtailed. While the original idea was good, it has turned into a very costly, time-consuming vehicle for fishing trips. Some large companies have departments to handle FOI.
Think of the cost so few people can waste on city or company time, hoping to get a small gem out of massive amounts of paper. Not only that, it’s generated a new industry on how to conduct business without writing things down or being FOI-able. Fix it now or it’s only going to get worse. Bob Garnett Richmond

LETTERS to the Editor
Leave Garry Point alone Paris left me
Don’t fault the many because of a few Dear Editor, Re “Not impressed by ceremony,” Letters, Nov. 13. I tend to agree with the comments in the letter by Jason Medcraft. The “tuxedo group” described sounded a bit overboard, although I didn’t see them. However, to me the ceremony was good. Yes, there were many persons taking videos, pictures, etc., but perhaps that was done to record the event for others not in attendance or in foreign lands. I don’t feel it was disrespectful, rather the intention was one of being able to share with others. The only umbrage I take was the two minutes of silence. This is where protocols and respect are tantamount. However, where I stood, there was a group nearby chatting and laughing. As I stood in silence, I wanted to speak out, but could not. It would be breaking faith with the fallen. The cenotaph to me represents a myriad of symbolisms: Fallen soldiers; veterans who came home; reserve forces; the sacrifice and duty of law enforcement; fire and rescue; ambulance service; Coast Guard; volunteer SAR units; Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue and others. The other aspect is the “people” who attend. Many, like myself, spend an emotional time remembering. It is a time of sadness, yet there is also joy and gladness remembering those who will be “forever young.” I think that’s what makes our country great. I looked at the various people, ethnic groups, parents and children. Maybe a few protocols were missing, but the attendance grows and grows. Don’t fault the many because of the actions of a few. What matters is that we remember and never, never forget. B.R. Hastings Richmond
Dear Editor, I have not written to a newspaper before, but I would like to comment on the letters concerning Garry Point Park. Leave Garry Point alone! We have one of the nicest natural environments within the Lower Mainland — except for the pilings still in place after the initial tall ship festival. Even the tall ships did not enjoy mooring against those docks, as the current along that side of the Fraser
River can get extremely active. I discussed those pilings with workers from Fraser River Pile and Dredge, who mentioned that it would take very little to remove them. In fact, if the city gave them the pilings, the company would do it for no cost. Let’s get those eyesores out of the way and once again enjoy a most wonderful, unencumbered view. Trevor Stickler Steveston
Did I miss Massey show? Dear Editor, I feel like someone gave me the wrong time for a show. As a result, I’ve arrived for the second act of the play. The second act began with the Premier announcing that a decision had been made to build a bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel. Where is the analysis that compares a new tunnel with a bridge? I understand that the elephant in the room is Port Metro Vancouver (PMV), which wants deeper water access to the Port of New Westminster. However, 65 years ago it made good economic and engineering sense to build a tunnel. What has
changed? If PMV gets its way, then a deeper tunnel will meet their needs. A tunnel will use 10 per cent of the agricultural land that a massive bridge structure will need. Once you go up, up, up to get ships under the bridge, you have to go down, down, down to get to Delta and Richmond. The result is that so much valuable land would be employed for a bridge instead of a tunnel. I have not seen Act one that must conclude that a bridge is the only way to go. Eric Sykes Steveston
speechless
Dear Editor, I am still speechless for what has transpired in Paris. Numb. My today was very peaceful in Richmond. I experienced quiet, sanctity, free speech, safety walking through my neighbourhood streets — with no fear — so great. I went to Lansdowne Mall to buy a birthday present for a friend — amidst many shoppers already in a Christmas shopping frenzy. I still was feeling in shock from the terror of the world when I entered another store to buy wrapping paper for my friend’s gift. I found two gentle, beautiful, life-like finches to decorate the wrapping (my friend loves birds). As I stood in the lineup, a very young boy ahead of me noticed the birds — his eyes became animated and a beautiful smile crossed his face. When I saw his reaction, I held them closer to him so he could see how beautifully soft and gentle they were. He smiled some more — so angelic looking. My heart smiled, but it was shortlived. Full stop from joy. Of all days to see this, his purchase was to be a big toy gun. I am speechless in another heart-wrenching way. P. Moe Richmond

C
ombined, they may have celebrated an impressive 409 birthdays and logged virtually countless kilometres of running, walking, skiing and biking. But a group of athletic seniors is proving numbers really don’t matter when it comes to keeping active. The five athletes — Gwen McFarlan, 81, Diane Clement, 79 and husband Doug, 82, Kay Pavelich, 83, and Hans Klein, 84 — believe exercise is important to improving your health, no matter what your age. The key is to just keep moving. “I’ve always been restless,” quipped Klein, who stays active riding his bike or walking to a local golf course to play a round or two a week, participating in Tai Chi classes at the Gilmore Gardens seniors residence where he lives, and swimming regularly, depending on the
time of the year. “I like to move.” Soccer, gymnastics and skiing were just some of the activities he enjoyed in his youth. “I have a knee implant, so downhill skiing is not for me anymore,” Klein said, adding he doesn’t consider himself to be an athlete. “I just like to keep moving.” He, along with McFarlan, the Clements and Pavelich, did just that in the Forever Young 8k event at Garry Point Park in mid-September for those 55 and older. “I got second prize in my age group, only because there were two of us,” Klein said with a smile. Pavelich, another Forever Young competitor, said she comes from a physically active family. “That keeps me going because I have to keep up with them,” she said. “They are all runners. And my grandchildren are into all kinds of sports. My grandson plays professional lacrosse.”

In addition to running, Pavelich also plays a lot of golf — at least three to four times a week. “Other than that, I walk everywhere. I hardly ever use my car for anything,” she said. “I just enjoy being active.” For her, an important component of exercise is the socialization that comes along with taking part in activities. “That part is absolutely great,” she said. “I would never give (being active) up. It’s part of life for me.” Growing up on the prairies, where she felt there was little in the way of sports activities for young girls, McFarlan seems to be making up for lost time. She took up running when she turned 60, and in 2014 she clocked a marathon time in the 80 to 84 age group that smashed a world record. Her time of four hours, 12 minutes and 32 seconds was 24 minutes faster than the previous mark. See Seniors page 11

Seniors: Staying fighting fit From page 10 “Growing up, I was the only girl in my neighbourhood, so I played what the boys played — baseball and cricket,” she said. “We’d also swim in the creek. And the boys would swim over to the back of a market garden, pick up some carrots and swim back with them clenched in their teeth. And they said to me, ‘If you want some carrots you’re going to have to learn to swim over there and get them yourself.’” McFarlan said she has met a lot of people through her activities and believes her circle of friends likely wouldn’t be as large if she led a sedentary life. Plus, her active lifestyle rubbed off on her children, both of whom were nationally ranked swimmers and are now runners. “But, they are not as fast as mom,” she joked. For Diane Clement, running started with her father’s love for athletics. “He started a track club back in Moncton, New Brunswick,” she said. “It was on a cinder track down by the marshlands. And I think I became so fast because
the place was full of mosquitoes.” Another major influence for the Canadian Olympian (1956 in Melbourne, Australia), was being invited with husband Doug, also anCanadian Olympian (1952 in Helsinki, Finland and 1956) by the City of Richmond to start a track and field club locally in the early 1960s. “The municipality came to us and said, ‘There are plans at Minoru Park for a track and field facility. If you two, as Olympians, would start a track club, we will build you a track,” Diane said. “And as Olympic athletes, we wanted to give back. Richmond at the time was just 25,000 people, with no shopping centre or hospital. But the municipality started to build a track.” Eight years ago, the Richmond Kajaks club held a reunion and celebrated the fact it had, in that time, cultivated 55 Olympians. In 1983, the couple started the Harry Jerome Classic track meet to provide local athletes with an international platform to compete on. Plus, they kicked off the Vancouver Sun Run, which

started with roughly 3,500 competitors. “We now average 40,000 to 45,000 runners and 10,000 walkers,” Diane said, adding she feels regular physical activity is good for both body and mind. “Mentally, it keeps our minds sharp,” she said. As a medical doctor who specialized in sports medicine, Doug said there is scientific proof today that shows the brain benefits from exercise. “We accept the fact that if we stop using a muscle that you can generally retrain it back to its former size. The brain is similar,” said Doug, who had a stroke in 1998 and made a full recovery, learning how to walk again. “That component of use or lose it is a truism. There’s no way out of it.” He also believes physical exercise can be addictive for some. “I think it’s for selfish reasons that we are doing it,” Doug said. “We’re exercising because we like it. You don’t have to be told to go out and be active. You want to because you feel better at the end of it.”

‘I
think everyone should have presents at Christmas.” That could well be nineyear-old Ava Koldenhof’s mantra when asked why she and her grandmother set about producing and selling legions of hand-crafted bracelets, earrings and pins in the shape of tiny angels. Over the past year, the Grade 4 Dixon elementary student has used her spare time to help raise money for charity and last week presented $500 to the Richmond Christmas Fund. “I was happy to do it,” Ava said, when asked how it made her feel to play a role in making sure needy, local families can celebrate the holidays. The charitable streak Ava shows — she also supports the Make a Wish Foundation and Water for Africa — comes naturally, said her mom, Sally. “It’s modelling,” she said. “As a family we’ve sponsored other families at Christmas time through the Richmond Christmas Fund. And we’ve always had the kids be involved with the whole process. Plus, my mom is a very generous person and very empathetic by nature. And all of that has kinda stuck with her (Ava).” Ava’s willingness to help out includes declining birthday
" Ava Koldenhof uses her spare time make charms to sell for the Richmond Christmas Fund
presents and instead asking for money she then, in turn, donates to charities. “Her last few birthday parties she’s said, ‘I don’t need presents.’ So, she’ll tell her friends to bring money and donate to different causes like the food bank, and Make a Wish Foundation,” Sally said. About a year ago Ava and her grandmother started their beadwork. “They found some beads that looked like dresses, so they put it together to look like an angel,” Sally said. “The first ones didn’t have wings. So, they had to make ones using tiny ribbons. But that took too long and was hard to do. And then they sourced a place that had beads that looked like wings.” “My grandma lives with us, so we make angels quite often. If we are really into it,
we can make about 100 in an afternoon,” said Ava. In the past they have had to fill some hefty orders. The most recent one for 100 angels had the shipment sent off to a customer in Ontario. Locally, buyers can order the angels, which range from $1 for charms and $2 for earrings and pins, from Ava’s website (avasangels.wix. com). And on Nov. 19 she plans on selling them during a craft fair at her school. For more information about the Richmond Christmas Fund and how you can help support a local family during the holidays, visit the Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives website at rcrg.org and click on the Richmond Christmas Fund logo.

ichmond’s fourth Writer-in-Residency program, featuring celebrated playwright and arts educator Sally Stubbs, will be coming to a close Saturday, Nov. 21, with a special, multi-generational storytelling, video, song and puppets event. Since the city launched the current Writer-in-Residency program in September, Stubbs has been working at the Richmond Arts Centre, Minoru Place Activity Centre and the Richmond Public Library. During this period, she has provided manuscript
consultations and led workshops for children and their parents, older adults and youth. Each workshop has explored the theme of “dreams” through a variety of techniques including storytelling, acting, poetry, song writing, video editing and puppet making. And now, for the grand finale event, workshop participants of all ages will share their work on Saturday from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Richmond Cultural Centre Performance Hall, followed by a short reception.

Honest show a rare theatre treat
Life in the fast lane is pure madness SHELLEYCIVKIN Book Club
‘T
ake your starting positions please.” For three-time Olympic runner Suzy Favor Hamilton, these words fuelled not only the adrenaline rush she felt before each race, but also a deep sense of dread. In her memoir Fast Girl: a Life Spent Running from Madness, the reader learns that running is Suzy’s whole life. It’s what she does best. Living in Madison, Wisconsin, Suzy was the innocent all-American girl, the ultimate athlete. But things weren’t what they seemed. Her family, who was ashamed of their son’s mental illness, stays predictably silent when Suzy becomes bulimic. The first half of the book chronicles Suzy’s love of running, her obsession to win and be the best, and her slow descent into severe anxiety, selfdoubt and depression. A pleaser by nature, Suzy thrives when she gets a trainer who works her hard, and she qualifies for the Olympics. Her refuge in running is broken though, when reality intrudes into her thoughts and she begins to obsess about things. Immobilized by her depression she turns to more self-destructive behaviour. Suzy eventually marries Mark Hamilton, her high school sweetheart, who has superhuman patience and sticks by Suzy through thick and thin.
" Once Upon a Time star Beverley Elliott tells more than fairy tales in a new cabaret show about unexpected turns in her life. Elliott isn’t afraid to show her flaws in songs and stories. Robin Toma photo
Their daughter Kylie, mentioned only marginally, is the collateral damage in Suzy’s story. When they move to Malibu, Suzy soon gets big-time endorsements for the upcoming Olympics where she’ll be competing. With more contracts, media attention and celebrity status, the pressure is on to win gold. Afraid to disappoint anyone, Suzy runs in three Olympics, even though by this point, she dreads competing. Overwhelmed by life, she spins out of control, goes on Prozac, and her extreme behaviour escalates. The second half of the book is all about Suzy’s hyper sexuality and her need for more and more adrenaline highs. To fulfill that need, she begins to lead a double life as Kelly, a high paid escort in Las Vegas. Her home life crumbles and she’s only happy when she’s having sex with rich clients. Living a risky, reckless life and enthralled with the jewelry, clothes and other gifts from her wealthy clients, Suzy’s hooked. Making big money and having zero impulse control, eventually her double life crashes and burns. More a book about Suzy’s sexual exploits than bipolar disease, it’s clear that mental illness doesn’t make you rich. But scandal sure does.

ften holding court at a holiday meal is that uncle — a storyteller with a tote bag of tiresome tales ready to be dumped on guests too polite to turn away. Listening to Aunt Bev, however, would be a real treat. Actor-singer Beverley Elliott — as she’s known outside her family circle — has packaged a bunch of her life’s favourite yarns into a cabaret show that would blow the doors off uncle’s annual presentation. Elliott is the woman behind ...Didn’t See That Coming, a show of songs and autobiographical stories with unexpected endings from an entertainer known for her current role as Granny in the ABC TV series Once Upon a Time. On at Gateway Theatre’s Studio B until Nov. 21, the show put’s Elliott’s talents on display as she takes her audience along a winding, honest narrative. Elliott first brought her show to the stage at last year’s Vancouver Fringe Festival, enlisting pal Kerry Sandomirsky as director and musical whiz

Bill Costin as pianist. She opens in song and dives into a story of a family wedding, where Aunt Bev is coaxed into participating in the bouquet toss that leads to an obligatory dance with the garter-catcher — a young man she completely misreads. We’re treated to tales of a conservative small town girl being changed by the Guess Who, facilitating a bar’s New Year’s Eve countdown without a reliable clock, clashing with a rude yoga instructor who gets what’s coming and experiencing dozens of online dating duds. The effervescent Elliott is skillful in the art of cabaret, deftly pairing her lively voice with Costin’s smart musical delivery. And for a show filled with stories from yesteryear, it’s surprisingly fresh. Once Upon a Time fans shouldn’t expect Granny to dish on Storybrooke, but Elliott does offer plenty of glimpses into life in show business. ...Didn’t See That Coming gives us something real and invites laughter in a style seldom seen. By confronting her flaws without descending into self-deprecation, Elliott colourfully shows us that life isn’t a bunch of fairy tales, even for an actor in a TV show about them. The show runs at Gateway Theatre’s Studio B until Nov. 21. Tickets, $20 to $35, at gatewaytheatre.com or 604-270-1812

Preparing it and others like it is timeconsuming, but she insists on staying true to each dish. Exceptions aren’t made to a recipe — despite the current high price of crab, for example — and ingredients are cut by hand, not machine. “This is the way to produce the
best quality dim sum you can imagine,” she said. “Keeping the quality high is the main objective of having my own restaurant.” Running a restaurant is no picnic. Her workdays last at least 10 hours, and are split in two to cover both lunch and dinner.

McRoberts flawless in run to city title Mark BOOTH
Sports Editor
MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
A
fter steamrolling their way through the Richmond Senior Girls Volleyball League, the McRoberts Strikers will be looking to establish themselves as a serious provincial medal contender this week. The Strikers are at the Lower Mainland “AAA” Championships where the province’s fifth ranked team are a solid bet to earn one of three B.C. berths that will be on the line at Little Flower Academy. McRoberts repeated as Richmond champions in convincing fashion — not dropping a set all season to city opponents — including a 3-0 win Friday night over Richmond Christian. The Eagles are no slouch either, currently ranked No. 4 among at the provincial “A” level. The dominating performance is further evidence of the progress made by this senior loaded squad that placed 16th at the provincials a year ago. “They have already surpassed my expectations,” said veteran coach Trish Nicholson. “They have done all the things that you need to do to play more as a team. The neat thing is they have done it on their own and it has nothing to do with me. This is a much more bonded group. “All I do is keep reminding (our Grade 12s) it’s the last time they will be doing this or that, like the Richmond final. They don’t want to hear it because they don’t want it to end.” The Strikers have captured three tournaments this season — Capilano, Timberline and Burnaby South — and are certainly a threat to add more hardware. Their biggest obstacle in Vancouver this week should come from host LFA, who were ranked No. 4 in B.C. before being surprised by Crofton House in the independent playoffs. Arygle is expected to be the biggest challenge from the North Shore.

“We are certainly a better team than we were last year going into it,” added Nicholson. “The top three go (to provincials) but you want to be the highest seed possible to
have a better draw.” The B.C. championships take place two weeks from now in Vernon.

aniel Wong was the ultimate fence sitter when it came to the Richmond Senior Boys Volleyball League championship match. For one of the few times in the history of city high school sports, Wong found himself stuck in the middle as coach of both the McRoberts Strikers and the McMath Wildcats. The Richmond Air Attack club coach had already committed to the Wildcats when he learned a talented Strikers team was in danger of folding unless a coach was found. “Half my kids in club play for McMath and the other half McRoberts,” explained Wong. “It just made sense for me to do it. There is a good mutual respect between the two teams and we even practiced together at the beginning of the season. “(The final) was definitely an interesting experience and kind of weird too.” Wong spent the match at the Wildcats bench but it made no difference as the Strikers capped a dominating run with a 3-0 victory for their first city title in recent memory. McRoberts didn’t drop a set all week and the province’s No. 9 ranked AA team will be favoured to nail down a B.C. berth when it hosts this week’s Lower
Mainland playoff tournament. The Wildcats had no answer for Grade 11 standout Jeff Lam and senior Edmond Lim who both delivered some thunderous kills. “Jeff has really stepped up his game this year and has got better and better as the season has progressed,” said Wong. “Edmond is one of our Grade 12 leaders who does a great job keeping the team clam and composed too.” Wong will be with his primarily Grade 11 Wildcat team this week at Moscrop Secondary School where it’s expected to be in a dogfight for one of four B.C. berths up for grabs at the Lower Mainland AAA tourney. Moscrop, Van Tech and David Thompson are ranked among the top 10 teams in the province, while McMath joined Gladstone as an honourable mention thanks to its strong play of late. “For the first time in a while, the Lower Mainland is very strong for AAA schools,” added Wong. “There are five strong teams that will be fighting for four berths.” The good news for Wong is both the AAA and AA provincial tournaments take place at the Langley Events Centre in two weeks should his teams advance.

Wildcats win Mainland title to secure provincial berth
M
cMath Wildcats have booked their ticket to next week’s B.C. AA Boys Soccer Championships in Burnaby. The Wildcats captured last week’s Lower Mainland AA playoffs by slipping past league rival McNair in the championship game. The game was scoreless through regulation and overtime. McMath prevailed 4-1 on penalty kicks. Goal scorers included Sean Minato, Matt Loveland, Mathias Melaku and Ian Gee. The game was a rematch of the Richmond final played a week earlier that saw the Wildcats prevail 2-0 on goals by Liam Fitzmaurice and Davis Poon. This time, the Marlins put up a good defensive effort to overcome McMath enjoying a significant advantage in time of possession.
The Wildcats’ road to the final began with a 4-0 quarter-final win over McRoberts, before topping John Oliver 3-1. McNair slipped past the Richmond Colts 1-0, then blanked Notre Dame 2-0. However, it was eventual heartbreak for the Marlins as the loss to McMath set up a do-or-die game against John Oliver last Friday for the final zone berth into the provincials. The Jokers won 3-1. Coached by Mike Quinn, the Wildcats have a week to prepare for the provincials which run Nov. 23-25. Smaller enrollment numbers have the Wildcats competing at the AA provincials for the first time in recent memory. The McMath roster also features: Jameison Lee, Logan Hooper, Joao Victor-Igelesias,Santiago Carvalheiro-Nunes, Nishaan
Dulay, Stefan Scavazza, Daniel Warmling, DJ Miller, Rion Yu, Mujeeb Fakhri, Sean Larson, Zach Balen, Bruno Corea and Jayden Jordan. Assistant Jakob Lorenz rounds out the coaching staff. Fioella Alva and Caitlan Estrada serve as team managers.

Following Cathy’s death, Marjorie and Carman lived a quiet life but were also able to take many trips to Hawaii, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Puerto Rico, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and England.

BEGIN THE JOURNEY So few of us in life are ever truly free enough to be able to give our everything to pursue a dream. It’s what makes sport, and the Olympic Games in particular, so exciting... watching athletes put everything they are on the line... and winning.
Begin your journey at the ROX inspired as you watch athletes try, fail and succeed in Pursuit of a Dream: a ROX feature film. Continue on as you view exhibits by the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) and Canadian Paralympic Committee (CPC), showcasing the support they give Canadian athletes in making their way to the podium. And question the role of technology in athlete performance in the Evolution of Winning exhibit. Relive the best moments of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games (and virtually all others) on our touch screen tables and Olympic Data Lounge. You can even revisit moments that happened inside the Richmond Olympic Oval using augmented reality balcony lookouts! A visit to the ROX is something you have to experience to believe.
EMBRACE HOW THE OLYMPIC GAMES TRANSCEND SPORT
The ROX highlights how the Olympic Games and sports help to build a better and more peaceful world. Local and international visitors alike will enjoy its True Colours Globe, an exhibition showcasing every country eligible to compete in the in the Olympic Games, their history, victories, and notable athletes. For history fans, the ROX is the place for viewing exclusive artefacts and Olympic footage of heart-pounding Olympic moments that went down in history books and shaped the world as we know it; from the first female and paralympic athletes, to the 1976 Montreal and 1980 Moscow boycotts, and Mohammed Ali’s lighting of the 1996 Olympic flame.

The ROX sheds a light on the Olympic spirit that extends far beyond the games, and engages arts, culture, community and volunteerism.
Another engaging feature of the ROX is its interactive sculpture dedicated to recognizing the volunteers of the Vancouver 2010
THE ROX AND THE RICHMOND COMMUNITY
Bobsled Simulator
A key feature of the ROX is its worldclass sport simulators, each developed to give the user a feel for true Olympic experiences. Visitors will feel the rush as they virtually fly off of an Olympic ski jump, paddle down a raging white-water kayak course, carve the perfect line in a sit-ski slalom race, zip along at incredible speeds on an Olympic bobsleigh track, or try to
keep their car in one piece on a Formula 1 race course. The ROX goes further to challenge visitors’ skills on hockey and soccer nets, measure their vertical jump and long jump against stunning world records, challenge a friend to a reaction timer test, and even try their hand at broadcasting an Olympic event.

Winter Olympics. Visitors can search up their own name, or name of a friend on a touch screen, and will be in for a surprise when they see what happens next. For those that experienced the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, the ROX will take them through a video tunnel of sights and sounds paying tribute to the Games and bringing back those goose bumps.
The ROX is much more than a new local attraction to the Richmond community. It is instrumental in paying tribute to the City of Richmond’s role as a Venue City for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. It will also offer several free exhibits for Richmond Oval visitors to enjoy, like The History of Sport in Richmond and Olympic inspired outdoor public art. As a prime proponent of the Olympic Movement, the ROX will educate youth on sport through its extensive Education

CONTINUE THE OLYMPIC LEGACY Through its priceless collection of Olympic torches and medals, the ROX invites visitors to reflect on their unique designs, which integrate the culture and history of each host nation. ROX visitors will get a peek into the future, witnessing how the next Host Nation is preparing for the upcoming Games. Last, but not least, ROX visitors can leave a message of encouragement with Canadian athletes on a photoluminescent graffiti wall, leaving their personal mark at the Richmond Olympic Experience.
ROX program, which will teach students about the Olympic movement through curriculum-based activities that meet learning objectives while inspiring students to stay active and strive for their own personal podiums. To encourage family outings, a regular Family ROX event welcomes all ROX visitors to partake in a free Oval sport activity, such as ice-skating, plus an opportunity to meet athletes and Olympians.
