midst a crowd of supporters Sunday afternoon, Richmond Centre candidate Jack Trovato and StevestonRichmond East candidate Scott Stewart, both of the New Democratic Party of Canada, opened their joint campaign office on No. 3 Road, across from Richmond City Hall. Stewart said going doorto-door, he’s been seeing an “upsurge” in NDP support, self-dubbed by New Democrats as the ‘orange wave’ ahead of the Oct. 19 vote. Trovato, a school teacher, and Stewart, a retired police officer, thanked their supporters in the tiny office littered with orange balloons. Trovato made a point of his concerns about growing inequality in Canada. “The reason that so many Canadians (immigrate here)
is for hope, for an equal opportunity. And that’s what the NDP stands for. Whether it’s pensions for our seniors, or healthcare, or good public education; it’s about creating that level playing field for opportunity. What you do with that opportunity, that’s up to you through hard work, dedication and sacrifice,” said Trovato. He said he experiences inequality daily at his job in Burnaby, where kids come to school hungry. No one’s addressing the fundamental root cause of poverty, said Trovato, who ran unsuccessfully for the Richmond school board last year. When asked, Trovato said healthcare and small business concerns were predominant amongst people as he has gone door-knocking. His party plans to cut small business taxes by 20 per cent. Trovato said families want affordable childcare and seniors want better pensions.

Liberal opening
Meanwhile, down the road on the north side of Westminster Highway, a stone’s throw outside his riding, lawyer and Liberal Party of Canada candidate Joe Peschisolido opened his office. Surrounded by a throng of happy supporters and volunteers nibbling on potato salad and samosas, the former Member of Parliament was quick to trumpet Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s platform while critiquing the New Democrats and Conservatives. Not afraid to use the “R” word, Peschisolido said Prime Minister Stephen Harper is to blame for Canada’s most recent recession. He said the economy, infrastructure, foreign policy and national security are top Liberal priorities, but didn’t go into detail as to what needs to change. When asked what he has been hearing door-to-door, Pe-

schisolido said “a lot of people want change,” however, many are not “crystalizing” any one particular issue. The Liberal’s greatest competition for evoking “change” is the NDP. Peschisolido repeated Trudeau’s statement that NDP leader Thomas Mulcair does not have a clear direction for Canada. “You cannot implement a Tommy Douglas vision on a Stephen Harper budget,” echoed Peschisolido, who noted the Liberals would run “minor” deficits to pay for more infrastructure improvements across the country. He likened the Liberal plan to U.S. president Barack Obama’s economic policies (since 2011 the U.S. and Canada’s GDP growth has been similar). Peschisolido said his party would work better with cities and give them more funding. see Marijuana › page 3

Developers at the double for affordable housing GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter
GWOODRICHMONDNEWS.COM
R
ichmond city council passed two measures Monday night aimed at increasing affordable housing in the city. Developers building single-family homes on recently subdivided lots and new townhouses will be asked to pay twice the existing prescribed amount toward Richmond’s affordable housing reserve, according to a city report. Home developments will be charged $2 per square foot, instead of $1 and townhouse developments will be charged $4 instead of $2. Furthermore, apartment complexes with fewer than 80 units will be charged $6 instead of $4. Ergo, a new 3,000 square-foot home on a subdivided lot will be charged $6,000. The new fees will generate an additional $1.5 million per year, on average, for the next 25 years. In total, the city expects to collect $76 million to 2041. Using that money, the city projects 1,978 affordable units, for low-income households, could be constructed between now and 2041 — up from 1,174 units had there been no change in the fees. The money represents 20 per cent of the cost of those units with the other 80 per cent coming from private or senior government partnerships. The city has used its affordable housing reserve cash to help build seniors housing at Kiwanis Towers and social and low-income housing at the under-construction Storeys project on Anderson Road. Coun. Bill McNulty said the new charges do not go far enough. “But it gives us leverage, more in the coffers and lots more opportunities to do other things,” he added. The changes do not affect developments of more than 80 units, which will still be tasked to build five per cent of the complex as subsidized affordable housing units.
No one on council has asked for that charge to be changed. Earlier this year, developer Dana Westermark, speaking for the Urban Development Institute, a development industry stakeholder group, contended a hike in fees would be reasonable to account for market increases, however, the five per cent built units have continued to keep pace with inflationary costs. The city contracted G.P. Pollo and Associates, a development consulting firm, to recommend the new charges, which were last set in 2007. A city report indicates the 2007 single-family home charge was set at closer to $2 until a “compromise” with developers was made to set it at $1. Other cities in the region negotiate affordable housing charges as part of community amenity charges, according to city staff. Coun. Carol Day said it was good the city has a set policy for all developments. “I think Richmond does a better job on this,” she said. Coun. Derek Dang said the provincial and federal governments should fund more housing projects. Coun. Ken Johnston called on the city to look at other forms of housing development. Council unanimously passed the new fee structure. Meanwhile, city council voted 8-1 to ensure secondary suites are built on at least half of all subdivided single-family home lots. But should the lots be too small or not have adequate road access, parking space or services, developers can still choose a $2 per square foot contribution. The report did not indicate details as to what constitutes an unqualified lot for a secondary suite. Coun. Alexa Loo voted against the policy, stating it will create more steps for developers, costing time and, thus, money and affordability. She questioned the fact council will review each subdivided development vis-à-vis the secondary suite policy. “We could end up with a lot of push and pull,” said Loo. Day, however, said she liked how council would be more involved in specific developments.

Victim shot several times outside factory
A
20-year-old male was found suffering from gunshot wounds in east Richmond late Monday night, according to Richmond RCMP. The incident took place around the parking lot of a plywood company in the 13000 block of Vulcan Way. The man was taken to hospital and released on Tuesday, according to Cpl. Dennis Hwang. “We are very thankful that no one else was injured in this incident. The Richmond RCMP Serious Crimes Unit has taken custody of this investigation. Our officers will continue to work with the victim in an attempt to gain his cooperation. He is known to police and we believe this was a
targeted incident,” said Hwang. Witnesses told Global News BC two people in a stolen car opened fire on the man around 11:30 p.m. The man was apparently shot three times in his upper body. Hwang said the suspect(s) fled the scene in a silver vehicle. He said investigators believe the vehicle was subsequently set ablaze in a farm field, a short distance from the parking lot. Police are asking for witnesses to come forward via the anonymous Crime Stoppers phone line, 1-800-222-8477, or Richmond RCMP detachment line, 604278-1212. — Graeme Wood Richmond News
Marijuana not a smokin’ issue for voters, say NDP and Lib From page 1 With his former riding executives erased from the Steveston-Richmond East riding association website following their resignations, Peschisolido is probably hoping a conflictplagued August is well in the rear-view mirror. Peschisolido was acclaimed the Liberal candidate last month after Wendy Yuan — a former Liberal candidate in Vancouver, who had the support of the local riding association — failed to pass the vetting process. Yuan blamed her failed bid on internal politics. The riding association resigned en masse on hearing that Peschisolido was acclaimed as the candidate.

When asked for his thoughts on Conservative candidate Kenny Chiu’s choice to raise the issue of marijuana law reforms (Chiu being against any) at the opening of his campaign office, Peschisolido responded that he was “surprised that the most important issue for Stephen Harper’s representative here in Steveston-Richmond East is marijuana.” The Liberals want to decriminalize and regulate the drug “and ensure it doesn’t get into the hands of children,” said Peschisolido. Notably, Chiu was the president of Richmond’s Canadian Alliance riding association when Peschisolido crossed the House floor in 2002 to join the Liberals. Peschisolido ran for the Liberals in Rich-

mond in 2011, garnering 19 per cent of the vote to MP Alice Wong’s 58 per cent. Going door to door, Peschisolido and Trovato said marijuana law reforms are not something many people have spoken to them about. “We don’t believe people should have a criminal record for possession,” said Trovato. When asked about what an important local issue is to him, Stewart said better protection of the Fraser River’s ecosystem is something the NDP will achieve by strengthening environmental protection laws. “The current federal government has allowed environmental laws to be gutted. Under the NDP we would strengthen those laws,” said Stewart, noting the river’s health is important to the
fishing industry. He also said the NDP will invest more money in clean energy sector. Stewart spent 25 years working as an officer with the New Westminster Police. He also has 40 years of experience with the Canadian Armed Forces reserves, having completed two projects overseas. He stated he wants to increase funding and improve administration at Veterans Affairs Canada. “Its not something one would normally hear in Richmond but it’s something I’m hearing,” said Stewart. NDP campaign manager Dale Jackaman said the joint office was chosen for its centrality and to save money.

law amendments to address the size of homes officially passed Monday evening at a Richmond city council meeting. Councillors Carol Day and Harold Steves voted against the amendments, stating they do not do enough to address the massing, or bulkiness, of homes. Day and Steves wanted the city to invoke greater limitations on ceiling heights. As it stands now, builders can construct five-metre tall ceilings and not have that space counted as two storeys. “If a builder or developer wants to build 20 foot ceilings, they can still do that but the space will be counted twice,” said Day. Coun. Bill McNulty voted for the amendments but said they still don’t address massing. He said design controls need to be looked at in order to bring home sizes down. Coun. Ken Johnston called the amendments a “good compromise.” Coun. Linda McPhail noted there is still more work to be done on issues such as rear yard setbacks. The new bylaw limits all home heights to nine metres, down from 10.5 metres.

! Bronze sculpture honours firefighters
A bronze statue of a gender neutral, masked firefighter hauling a fire hose while holding an axe will be installed at the new Brighouse Fire Hall No. 1 on the corner of Granville Avenue and Gilbert Road. The $111,000 sculpture designed by Victoria artist Nathan Scott was unanimously approved by Richmond city council on Monday. Public art planner Eric Fiss, in his report to council, said the piece will serve as a “lasting commemoration” to Richmond-Fire Rescue as well as “enhance the sense of community, place and civic pride.” A panel of artists and architects appointed by the City of Richmond selected Scott’s firefighter among 18 other submissions. According to his resume, Scott has been sculpting for 17 years and has completed a number of public art commissions, including ‘The Homecoming’ bronze statue on Victoria’s waterfront, depicting a sailor bracing for a hug from his daughter and their family dog. Coun. Carol Day, who earlier this year was one of many councillors who dismissed an art project involving photos
of gingseng, called Scott’s piece “spectacular” and “something for us to enjoy for generations to come.”
! Public art approval
When Richmond unveils public art, one of the criticisms often heard is that it bears no local connection whatsoever. The latest offering in that genre will not suffer from that particular critique when the Art at Work professional development workshops get underway next week. As part of the program, local art and design students and recent graduates are being invited submit concept proposals for a permanent public artwork at 9680 Alexandra Rd.. The program will offer emerging artists, with little or no public art experience, an opportunity to learn and develop the skills necessary to complete a substantial public art commission. To provide educational and mentorship support three workshops have been created: Tuesday, Sept. 22: Artist Orientation Session for Alexandra Road Public Art Opportunity; Saturday, Oct. 3: How to Apply to Public Art Calls; Tuesday, Oct. 20: Alexandra Road Public Art Opportunity: Ideas Pitch and Social

he City of Richmond has raised a number of safety concerns with the proponent of the planned jet fuel facility on the Fraser River. The city contends the Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation, a consortium of airlines, does not adequately address some safety related issues, particularly in how the 80 million-litre, six fuel tank facility connects with the proposed marine terminal where Panamax-class tankers will unload the product. Furthermore, the city has noted the tank facility does not have fire suppression equipment. Also, the impact of a seismic event on the facility “has not been adequately explored,” states a city engineering report. Another problem is the VAFFC’s plan to plant trees in front of the facility, next to the dyke. The city contends the trees can impact the integrity of the dyke.
The city noted the VAFFC did move the proposed pipeline to accommodate developers’ concerns in the Bridgeport area. Meanwhile, Coun. Alexa Loo wants to make the best of the situation. “We’re going to get it, let’s get the best benefits out of it,” she told Richmond city council on Monday. Loo said there are benefits to the project. “I know it’s really important to all of us that we protect our water, protect our fish and protect our farmland while at the same time having jobs and keeping people safe. The one thing the fuel pipeline will do is it will take 1,000 (fuel) trucks off the roads,” said Loo, also noting Vancouver International Airport provides tens of thousands of jobs. VAFFC is in the process of a public information session as it applies for building permits for the tanks. The session takes place Thursday from 4-7 p.m. at the East Richmond Community Hall at 12360 Cambie Rd. Questions and comments are encouraged via email, as well (info@vancouverairportfuel.ca).

LETTERSto the Editor Affordable housing becoming scarce Dear Editor, At the recent public hearing at city hall, after developers rhetorically asked what “affordable housing” is in today’s market, one resident suggested that a nice, livable $1.1 million older house is realistically the “new affordable housing.” Perhaps that is not ideal, but it is nonetheless correct. Unfortunately, a young family who scrapes together a down payment from working hard, saving up and possibly getting some help from the “bank of mom and dad,” still has one major obstacle in the journey to achieving this. They may wish to view a house only to discover that it has sold to a developer in less than a day. Or they may put an offer on a home only to be outbid by a developer with deeper pockets. A developer, who rather than live in the house with their family and become part of the community, will raze this “affordable home” and build one that will now be sold for almost three times the original value. This is happening at such a rapid rate, the “new affordable housing” market is quickly shrinking in size. What is the solution? A two-week period before developers can make an offer on a property? Perhaps. Whatever it is, if the mayor and councillors are really serious about affordable housing in Richmond, they need to act before it’s too late. Michael Seidelman Richmond

Dear Editor, I think it was really great that Kwantlen Polytechnic University grew its sustainable garden project in front of their campus where the public could view and enjoy. Thank you Kwantlen. This enabled many people, I’m sure, to watch nature creating amazing edible foods and pretty plants to view. I especially enjoyed watching the sunflowers grow — gorgeous!! I hope this can continue in the future. Here is a picture (right) of one of their sunflowers in the early morning sun today. P. Moe Richmond
Input sought on transportation plan

n July, city council was requested by TransLink to appoint a representative to the senior advisory committee of its Southwest Area Transport Plan (SWATP). It has been 15 years since the original Richmond Area Transit Plan was completed. The new Southwest Area Transport Plan will include Richmond, South Delta (Ladner and Tsawwassen), and Tsawwassen First Nation and covers the entire transportation network within the identified sub-area of the region. The review will identify the long-term vision, priorities, challenges, and opportunities in transit, walking, cycling, driving, goods movement, and transportation demand management. As the member of council appointed to the senior advisory committee for this new plan, I would very much like to hear your in-
put and comments regarding your concerns with respect to transportation. In Richmond, the city’s long-term transportation vision and priorities are included in the City Centre Area Plan, which was adopted in 2009, and the Official Community Plan, which was updated and adopted in 2012. Each will be used to help guide the expanded Southwest area planning process. Some of the key improvements envisioned in the city’s plans are: Transit service: Canada Line service and station capacity improvements, improved bus service between Richmond’s city centre and Metrotown in Burnaby, on Sea Island (including Burkeville) and to Fraser Port, more local bus routes that do not necessarily travel through the city centre, and new bus service to employment areas lacking transit services including Mitchell Island. Transit facilities: off-street bus exchanges at Richmond-Brighouse Station and in Steveston to improve connectivity and reduce empty bus circulation/layovers on streets. Road-goods movement: new additions to
the major road network (e.g., Nelson Road, Blundell Road east of No. 7 Road, River Parkway, No. 6 Road north of Westminster Hwy, and surrounding roadways near the new Brighouse bus loop) to secure capital and maintenance funding. Cycling: expansion of major street and local connecting paths for cycling. Walking-rolling: expansion of network of neighbourhood links on local roads and the closure of gaps in sidewalks on arterial roads. Transportation demand management: work with TravelSmart on school- and employer-based activities to improve transportation choices and reduce vehicle trips. For more information on Translink’s Area Plans, visit translink.ca/en/Plans-and-Projects/Area-Transit-Plans.aspx Again, please send me your comments and opinions, during the next few weeks either by letter to the City of Richmond, Attention Chak Au, 6911 No. 3 Road, Richmond BC, V6Y 2C1 or you can also reach me via email at: cau@richmond.ca.

LETTERSto the Editor
Provincial highway patrol could aid local enforcement If you have a question about an officer’s actions or lack thereof, then contact the patrol supervisor that same day. As for Mr. Bulloch’s statement that Richmond needs a city police force to tackle the lack of traffic enforcement, this is simplistic and misguided. Furthermore, to say that a private security company could do traffic enforcement is dismissing this specialized field of law enforcement and calling it amateurish. Traffic enforcement is a complex policing issue for Canadian city police forces and RCMP alike. Canadian traffic enforcement officers have been continuously urging their own agencies to make traffic enforcement a priority. There have been changes, but not a strong continuous commitment from Canadian police administrators. Ten years ago, the provincial government initiated the Integrated Road Safety Units (IRSU) throughout the province to address traffic enforcement on our roads. IRSU was created to clamp down on aggressive and dangerous driving behaviours and target problem areas identified by the local police. IRSU was made up of officers from RCMP and city police forces. The idea was that IRSU would visit each city and do targeted enforcement on a rotational basis. The IRSU idea was a good, but police forces still have to take personnel away from their staffing level to send to these integrated units; no job created here, either IRSU is short on personnel or the local forces are. I used to see four to six IRSU officers here in Richmond; they often worked Steveston Highway and high crash intersections. It made a difference, but for the past four years, Richmond has been ignored. Where are they? How many are there now? IRSU is still in service, but not here. Lastly, if B.C. residents are serious about traffic enforcement, I would suggest that the province creates its own provincial highway patrol that operates independently from local police forces. Such highway patrol units are staffed by dedicated and highly specialized officers so local agencies can keep their officers to do local traffic enforcement.

Dear Editor, Re: “RCMP fail to stop traffic violators,” Letters, Sept. 11. In response to Mr. Bulloch’s letter to the editor, there is an expression that many of us know — “Walk a mile in a man’s shoes before you judge him.” Mr. Bulloch’s letter over simplifies the issue as he is probably unaware of what is actually going on in that police vehicle at the time of the incident. Passing a quick judgement, out of obvious frustration, does not justify the argument that the RCMP is ill-equipped to do city policing and a city police force would do a better job. I, too, feel frustrated with the driving behaviors on our streets. However, this problem is not new, nor is it limited to Richmond. And traffic enforcement priorities are often placed at the bottom by the administration in many police departments in Canada. As a result, the administration frequently depletes the traffic enforcement section to bring the staffing level of other sections to an acceptable level. Simply put, the dedicated traffic enforcement officers are not doing traffic enforcement. That leaves us with patrol officers to do traffic enforcement, as well as attending calls, carrying on investigations, going to court, taking statements, meeting with various agencies , etc. Having worked in various cities in the Lower Mainland for 20 years, I have experienced many 12-hour shifts where there were just too many priority calls to attend to, and too few officers on patrol to deal with it all. In those moments, you often have to let go of traffic violations, as seen by Mr. Bulloch, because you have no other choice. No officer I know likes to ignore those, but there are too many other priority calls. There are so many variants as to why this officer in particular did not react to the offence it is futile to list them. What I have experienced is that traffic enforcement is scarce in the Lower Mainland, be it in RCMP or city police jurisdictions, and there is a shortage of police officers. If you feel strongly about a violation, please record the licence plate number and type of vehicle, then report the offence to the local police with your written statement and request that a ticket be issued, not a warning.

LETTERSto the Editor
Canada would do well to resume its peacekeeping role Dear Editor, The Middle East has been a ticking time bomb for almost 70 years. It reminds me of a great Canadian Prime Minister, Lester (Mike) Pearson, who helped diffuse a potentially explosive situation in this area in the 1950s over the Suez Canal, a lifeline of the region. Pearson, who served as Canada’s Prime Minister from April 22, 1963 to April 20, 1968, was a very skilled diplomat and statesman. He was made a Nobel Laureate in 1957 as a result his role in averting a major clash between superpowers over the Suez Canal navigation question. Despite his minority government, Pearson made very commendable fundamental changes during his regime. These included universal health care, Canada Pension Plan, race-free immigration and the Canadian flag. He was a very down to earth and modest leader. I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Pearson in 1967 on one of his official visits to Vancouver and was very impressed with his dedication to Canada and world peace. Pearson’s ground-breaking work at the United Nations and in international diplomacy made him as one of the most admired and influential Canadians of the 20th century. Unfortunately, during the past few years, this country has drifted from this policy. The
current crisis in the Middle East and hundreds of thousands of refugees running to Europe for their lives needs world leaders such as Mike Pearson to take the lead in stopping this human misery on an unprecedented scale. To its credit, Canada has agreed to open its doors to more refugees than announced earlier. All of this is a positive development. Unfortunately, the root cause of this problem is still there. ISIL is still waging its ruthless campaign of killing and displacing thousands of innocent people. In order to tackle this issue, the entire world community needs to come together and strike a deadly blow at the ISIL. With a concerted international effort, this crisis should also blow over, eventually. In the meantime, whichever party gets the opportunity to form the next government on Oct. 19, needs to seriously revisit our foreign policy. We must recognize that, in military terms, Canada is not even a middle power. In order to regain its lost respect and prestige on the international stage, getting back to our earlier policy of taking an active role of a peacekeeper and peacemaker may be worth consideration. Balwant Sanghera Richmond

H
ow do you describe what your daschund/Scots terrier/Labrador crossbreed looks like? I tried, at first, to pass our rescue-dog Hershey off as a completely new breed — which I made up — called a Scottish daschund. This little rouse flew, for a time, when the question was posed by the lesserlearned dog owner, not least because Hershey’s owner has a Scottish accent and she is a weird creature, with a shape and face rarely frequenting the podium at Crufts. “Oh really?” they
would say, “I haven’t heard of that breed before.” We would retort, “yes, very rare they are.” But we inevitably got called out for the poor liars that we were. And so the stock reply to the Hershey question became, “Have you seen the movie Shrek? You know his sidekick, Donkey? Yea, that’s Hershey.” Suffice to say, she is a strange-looking little beast, laughable to the naked eye with her belly, short legs, big ears and grey beard. But lovable to anyone who even looks in her direction, aside from rabbits and squirrels, who, one day, she aspires to eat — dead or alive. “How old is your puppy?” is also often asked of the disproportionate eight-year-

old we call “Smelly” and “Hersheybar.” She’s also slightly mad and has the propensity to randomly headbutt people in the groin, knocking them clean off their feet — if you’re not expecting it (and there’s no reason you should). And, if the fancy takes her, usually at the wrong moment, she slips her leash and shows off by running maniacal large doughnuts around her rather fearful subjects, before slumping exhausted. We’ve tried to blame her behaviour on her raw food diet, which, who knows, could have an effect on her brain, as well as adding protein to her muscle. But she’s just Hershey; troubled “daughter” of myself and my wife and crazy “little sister” to 13-year-old Ben.

Animal lover steps in for RAPS Alan Campbell

T
hey’re open for business and ready and willing to accept donations. That’s the message from the Richmond Animal Protection Society’s (RAPS) new thrift store manager Laura Padulo, just a few weeks after her predecessors retired. According to Padulo — and a few of the many volunteers who help keep the Granville Avenue charity shop alive — there was a misconception that the store was closing due to the retirement of former managers, Ed and Marie Malinoski. As a result, claimed Padulo, the number of customers visiting the store and the amount of donations dropped significantly. “The ones that were coming in kept saying they’d read we were closing, because of Ed and Marie retiring,” said Padulo, an animal lover and cat owner, who has volunteered at the store for more than three years. “But we are very much open for business and, since we got the word out on

facebook and things like that recently, people have started to come back in and donations have risen again.” Asked why she stepped up to take the role as manager, Padulo said she was “always in there anyway, so ‘why not?’ “Somebody had to step up, or we would have to close and I couldn’t have that happening,” added Padulo. The News reported last month how the Malinoskis decided to retire from voluntarily running the store after 10 years without a vacation. Both of them, however, still volunteer at the store.

A
t Tong Moo Do School, martial arts is about developing leadership skills and learning what it means to be a good person. The school has a heavy emphasis on teaching students life skills, both through discussion and martial arts training. “We focus on leadership development and character development,” said master Joseph Jung, whose family owns the school. “We use martial arts as a vehicle to develop leaders,” he said. All classes at the school are based on themes relating to leadership and character development. Past themes that they have used include conMdence, courage, collaboration, dedication, integrity and honesty. “Every month we have a different theme and we talk about a different aspect of what it means to be a leader,” Jung said. The goal of classes is not just to teach what each theme means within the context of the physical act of martial arts training, but what it means in everyday situations as well. “We give examples of how it can be applied into their lives in different, everyday things,” Jung added. Lessons based around the month’s theme

are taught during classes both explicitly and implicitly. The explicit part involves a discussion of the theme, while “the implicit part is within the martial arts training itself,” Jung said. This means “teaching character development through the actual physical training what it means to set goals, what it means to be dedicated, what it means to work hard, those types of things.” The physical part of training is done according to Tong Moo Do, which is a martial arts style that mixes aspects of different styles together. “It’s the concept of trying the best parts from a variety of martial arts styles and combining those into one system,” said Jung. During classes, they also try to model strong characters and what it means to be a leader. The goal is for students to look to both their teachers as role models “and hopefully their peers as well,” said Jung. While each class is designed to be a learning experience, the instructors also strive to make training fun and exciting. Importantly, especially for newcomers, they also make sure that classes are safe for every-

Tong Moo Do School has a heavy emphasis on teaching students life skills, both through discussion and martial arts training.
From page 18 one involved. “I think a lot of times people feel intimidated by the thought of going into a martial arts school,” Jung said. A common fear is of getting hurt, particularly for those who are new to martial arts and are unsure of what happens in a class. The instructors at the school make sure to provide a safe, respectful environment for all participants though, regardless of their skill level. “We’re committed to making sure our school is a safe and welcoming environment,” Jung said. “We make sure that everybody is respectful and welcoming to new people, and
we make sure that everyone is comfortable and working at a level they feel comfortable with and are happy with.” Tong Moo Do Martial Arts School offers classes for both children and adults. The classes are great for “anyone who wants to improve themselves,” Jung said. The school works with students of all levels, and beginners are always welcome as it is assumed “that people coming in have no martial arts training,” he said. The school is now offering an introductory special where new students can try classes for $30 for the Mrst month, with no obligation. A uniform is included in the introductory price.
We make sure that everybody is respectful and welcoming to new people, and we make sure that everyone is comfortable and working at a level they feel comfortable with and are happy with. – MASTER JOSEPH JUNG

and Steveston Hwy. will be a hive of activity with hay rides, carnival games, some good old-fashioned baking, a

silent auction, entertainment and garage sale. “The country fair means many things to many people,” says Lauri Kerr, one the volunteers who is helping organize this year’s event. “The hidden treasures in the thousands of garage sale items, the never-ending supply of books. The home baking that tastes just like grandma’s (because it is). And all the auction items and crafts.” Kerr adds she feels fortunate to have been born and raised in Richmond and South Arm United has always played a big role in fostering a sense of belonging. “To me, the fall fair represents a community coming together from all walks of life, as there is something for everyone,” she says. “Now that I am a mother I can again enjoy the thrill of the cake walk, hoping that you are on the lucky number when the music stops.” And there will be plenty of cakes as more than 300 will be uniquely decorated with jellybeans and gummy bears. For a truly authentic country view, climb aboard a

bale for a hay ride past some surrounding farms. And then there’s the food. You can kick things off bright and early with an egg “Bert” breakfast bun. “But save room for the tastiest burgers around, and don’t forget the baked potatoes,” Kerr says. Then there’s popsicles, ice cream, candy bags and cotton candy. “But whatever you do, make sure you take the time to relax in the tea room for what everyone has talked
about for 56 years — the strawberry shortcake,” Kerr says, referring to the home made “hot milk” cake topped with whipped cream and local strawberries that are described as being just “heavenly.” Just make sure to be there early to enjoy it. “Our closest guess is that we serve approximately 500 people in the tea room and we usually sell out before 2 p.m.,” Kerr said. Admission and parking for the fair are both free.

Top up your measure of suspicion SABINEEICHE In other words
R
ats totally devastated my garden this year. They nibbled my tomatoes, even those high on the vine; they bit into my beets and zucchini; they chomped on my cucumbers and gnawed through the stalks of my pole and bush beans, killing all plants. They decapitated my sunflowers, mangling the heads on the ground. I bought traps and baited them with peanut butter. I’ve watched the rats slink past them. Clearly, for most rats suspicion is stronger than greed. I never suspected suspicion’s origin was a word — the Latin verb “suspicere” — that signified to look up at, and which was used figuratively with the meaning to admire, respect. Woven into this meaning is the sense of fear, dread, mistrust. Since the late 15th century, we’ve employed the verb suspect to also mean surmise, usually with negative overtones. Rats could teach us a thing or two about suspicion. We evidently no longer possess it in sufficient measure. We’ve become complacent — a word formed from the Latin “complacere,” to be very pleasing, which in the 18th century acquired the sense of pleased with oneself. Thus lulled into feeling self-satisfied, we’ve neglected the defences of our primitive instinct for survival. We are now easily baited and trapped. A few months ago I was glancing through a local supermarket flyer and noticed one of the pricier Crest toothpastes on sale at a ridiculously low price. How could I not take advantage of such an offer? I stocked up. When I opened the first tube the blue specks
in the gel perplexed me, but I dismissed them as yet another gimmick. Soon afterwards I read alarming news about certain tiny particles called microbeads found in various personal care products, including toothpaste. I learned that those blue specks in my tube of Crest were not another gimmick, but rather the controversial plastic particles called microbeads. Microbeads — identified in a product’s ingredient list as polyethylene or polypropylene — remain in waste water and lead to plastic particle water pollution. They end up in the food chain, gobbled up by tiny fish, which are gobbled up in turn by other forms of marine life, and which eventually are consumed by us. Countries around the world are taking steps to ban microbeads. The European Union is at the forefront of this campaign. Canada announced this past summer that it would be adding microbeads to its list of toxic substances. Certain companies, such as Colgate-Palmolive and Unilever, have already phased them out. The crisis that helped expose the danger of microbeads was the revelation in 2012 and 2013 of the extent to which they were polluting the Great Lakes. Lakes Superior and Huron revealed about 7,000 plastic particles per square kilometre, while Lake Michigan had 17,000, Lake Erie 46,000 and Lake Ontario 248,000. Wary of the lures of irresistible offers in the weekly flyer, I’m now armed with a magnifying glass to peruse the tiny, generally illegible list of ingredients on packaging. If I spot polyethylene or polypropylene, I let suspicion overpower my temptation and walk away from the trap. Sabine Eiche is a writer and art historian.

Creating Healthy Happy Smiles, Ready For The Cutest Moments!
pair of solo shows that look at life, love, food and intimacy in the busy world of today form a double bill as Gateway Theatre’s Pacific Theatre series continues this week. From Sept. 17 -19 MayMay Chan brings a multi-sensory feast as she cooks on stage during the comedy Cook Your Life which follows a recipe of how to manage relationships in the hustle and bustle of contemporary society. Her performance is followed by Eric Tang’s MeChat, a take on the isolation many feel in a world where cyber relations have become commonplace methods of interaction. Both performances will be performed in Cantonese with English surtitles. Esther Ho, producer of the Pacific Festival said the pair of productions offer unique glimpses into two very different worlds. While the stories Chan presents — as she prepares a meal the audience can sample — are typically Hong Kong-themed, there have been some changes to localize some aspects that relate to life for immigrants who now call Metro Vancouver home. “It’s more about the Canadian family ways where kids rarely see their parents who have left to go back home (Hong Kong) for business,” Ho said. “It’s also about the long distance relationships many international students have had to manage when they come here for school, then have to return home.” But the main premise is how a hectic schedule has put a strain on relationships. At the other end of the scale — and separated by a 15-minute intermission as sets are completely changed — is Tang’s MeChat which focuses on the disconnect in social behaviour brought on by the prevalence of life in cyberspace. “The Chinese name for this production is ‘Dry,’” Ho said, referring to how Hong Kong youth refer to the lack of authentic social experiences in their lives as they opt for life online. “Nothing is happening for them

FASHION FOCUS Mild weather means bold colours Rob Akimow
Ad Director rakimow@richmond-news.com
With summer winding down, the fall fashion season is upon us. Fortunately for us west coasters, our friends at Environment Canada are calling for another mild fall and winter. This will be reflected in what we can expect to see in stores this season. Lighter materials and form fitting dresses will be hot this fall, along with deep vibrant colours such as ocean blue and royal purple, and, unfortunately, greys will be back (yawn). Also making a comeback will be patent leather. Expect to see this

fashion-forward males, like Amit Sandhu or Wayne Duzita, strolling down the Steveston boardwalk in a luxurious fur coat, and frankly I wouldn’t blame them. Safe bets for men this fall are the colour burgundy and long neck scarfs, as they are both set to hit the stores this autumn. Should Environment Canada be wrong and the fall season hits us harder than expected, you may want to book a flight someplace sunny and warm! If you do, be sure to head over to Jet Lag Travel Fashion Boutique in Steveston and pick yourself up some cruise wear.
on not only boots and shoes, but some trims as well. If you are looking for jewelry to match, bling is back in a big way. Oversized jewelry with a simplistic look is what you are after. Stick with red and gold tones, as they look best next to cool colours such as blues and purples. And in a tread we have seen continuing since spring, expect to see some fashions that you may have seen in your closet back in the ‘70s. What’s in store for men this fall may come as a bit of a surprise to some; apparently fur is set to make a comeback. I am not so sure I would see some of Richmond’s

uestionable memories, terror and suspicion colonize The Devil You Know by Elisabeth De Mariaffi, like maggots colonizing a corpse. First-time novelist De Mariaffi hits it out of the park with this smart, scary thriller that’ll have you checking under your bed every night. With a chilling plot and eerie details, De Mariaffi hooks the reader into the world of violence against girls and women, and doesn’t let go till the end. The star of the novel is Evie Jones, a rookie reporter with the Toronto Free Press, who’s been tasked with covering the crime beat. That wouldn’t be so unusual if it weren’t for the fact that it’s 1993 and the city is petrified by a serial rapist/
murderer. Sitting outside Paul Bernardo’s house, waiting to see what the guys in the white moon suits come out with, could set anyone’s imagination off. But when you’re 21 and living on your own for the first time, well….that kind of horror is an invitation to fear. A by-product of her work at the newspaper, Evie begins to obsess about her childhood friend Lianne Gagnon’s murder at age 11 by a man named Robert Cameron, who was never caught. The more Evie digs into Lianne’s unsolved murder, the creepier the story gets, and the wilder her imagination becomes. She reaches the point where she thinks she sees a man out on her fire escape looking in her window. Is he real, or is he imagined? And if the guy’s real, is it Lianne’s killer coming after Evie? With each new piece of information

Crime writer makes debut
Evie uncovers, her anxiety ramps up. Evie’s close friend David tries to temper her anxiety but she’s having none of it, and risks her own safety going after the man she thinks is the killer. Despite her erratic behavior, David’s devotion to Evie is unwavering and it kills him to see her so obsessed. Replaying scary scenarios over and over, Evie psychs herself out to the point of getting physically sick with anxiety. Evie’s father says: “Look at what you do for a living….Your job is the anxiety machine. You’re mainlining fear.” Multiple identities, false memories, murders and countless coincidences add up to a superbly written thriller. You may be terrified reading it, but you’ll love every second of it! For other popular reading suggestions check out Richmond Public Library’s Web site at www.yourlibrary. ca/goodbooks.

teveston author Marty Allen will be at Black Bond Books in Ladner with his debut novel next Sunday. The novel, titled Cordelia, is the first in a crime series about RCMP Cpl. James Vaanes. “The main character is kind of a stubborn man, who does things his own way. He’s also having to get used to being back in a town he grew up in from 20 years ago,” explained Allen. The novel sees the main character return to his hometown on Vancouver Island to head up major crimes for the first time in his career. Vaanes is forced into the spotlight when a young Aboriginal woman is murdered under his watch, according to the book’s back cover.
! Marty Allen
“The disturbing discovery divides the tight-knit community and plunges Vaanes into a web of tangled secrets that leads to unsolved cases in his past,” it reads. Allen counts crime writer Ian Rankin as an inspiration and said the second book in the series is “basically done” and that he’s starting the third. Allen will be at Black Bond Books on Sunday, Sept. 27 from 1 to 3 p.m.

living legend comes to the Gateway Theatre Pacific Festival This month, Gateway Theatre welcomes Richmond residents to the Gateway Theatre Pacific Festival. This is truly a festival for everyone, featuring the best and brightest from Hong Kong’s stages, with English surtitles opening up the festival to the entire community. One of the festival’s highlights is the performance of living legend Chung King Fai in an internationally acclaimed production of Tuesdays with Morrie. Considered the “Laurence Olivier” of Hong Kong theatre, Chung King Fai has starred in countless theatrical productions and has won over 10 Hong Kong Drama Awards. He is a true pioneer of the industry, introducing Western conventions such as Broadway musicals and Theatre of the Absurd to Hong Kong audiences. As well as being an iconic stage actor, he has starred in multiple television series since the 1970’s, making him one of the longest-standing celebrities in China. His influence extends far beyond his own stage and screen career. He is the founding Dean of the School of Drama at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. Considered a right of passage for actors serious about their craft, the school has produced some of the most successful performers in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Chung King Fai’s influence on his students is akin to that of revered American acting teacher Lee Strasberg of the Actors Studio. This is his Western Canada debut and a rare opportunity for residents to see a living legend at work. Join us for Tuesdays with Morrie, as well as all of the festival’s exciting programming, at this year’s Gateway Theatre Pacific Festival!

Fearless Trojans tackle B.C. powerhouse Mark BOOTH
Sports Editor
MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
Bill Haddow is making sure his team will be battle-tested for the playoffs even if they happen to breeze through conference play for the second straight year. The Trojans outscored their opponents 135-16 in route to a perfect run in the AA Southern Conference last season. They are favoured to claim first again and the task may seem even easier compared to what they are currently encountering in the pre-season. Their opponents should get no tougher than it did last week when Boyd hosted defending provincial AAA champion and pre-season No. 1 ranked South Delta. The Tsawwassen school came to town with a 34-player roster that features plenty of returning talent and depth at nearly every position. Meanwhile, the lowered tiered Trojans are hovering around 20 players and begin the season with their No. 1 quarterback slated for knee surgery. The Sun Devils did the expected and rolled to a 46-13 victory but Haddow also got exactly what he was hoping for. The longtime head coach wanted to give his top end players an opportunity to line-up against the very best — especially in the trenches with both teams having formidable lines. It was also a great night for the program with a big crowd coming out in ideal late summer weather to watch a high-profile opponent. “Our guys were extremely nervous before the game, to the point where I had them doing breathing exercises in the locker room before we were even on the field,” said Haddow. “They eventually settled down and played very hard. “That is a very good football team with some very good players but we hung in there.” The Trojans fell behind 16-0 early in the first quarter when Grade 11 Robbie Conroy showcased his excellent speed to return the ensuing kickoff 80 yards for the major score. Starting quarterback Taylor Pencer, filling in for the injured senior Tyler Moxin, showed flashes of his potential before leaving the game with an undisclosed injury. That meant 2014 provincial all-star tailback Gabe Saklofski had to step in at pivot for the second half and added the Trojans’ other major on a long option run. “It shows what a team player Gabe is,” added Haddow. “He was the best back in our league last season and is run-

ning behind a fabulous offensive line. It was a big night for him but he also understood the situation and stepped in.” The Trojans host former league rival Seaquam on Friday (7 p.m.) before continuing their challenging pre-season schedule a week later in Parksville against No. 4 AA Bal-
lenas. It was the Whalers who ended their season a year ago with a 42-12 home field loss in the provincial quarter-finals. Boyd begins the season as an honourable mention in the B.C. AA rankings.
McNair grad leads UBC to big win over No. 2 TWU A
mrit Berar couldn’t have picked a better spot for her first two goals of the season. The fourth-year forward with the UBC Thunderbirds women’s soccer team supplied all the offence in a 2-0 upset win over No. 2 nationally ranked Trinity Western on Friday night in Langley. Playing in front of over 600 TWU supporters, the McNair graduate struck in the sixth minute of play, then added an insurance tally in the 59th minute. The loss snapped the Spartans’ 15-game home-winning streak, dating back two years.

Clarke’s tallies came with the game not even 10 minutes old. She opened the scoring in the seventh minute and struck again two minutes later. Indiana had entered the match with four consecutive shutouts. “We had watched some film on them and noticed in other games they played that they had given the forwards a lot of time to turn,” said Clarke. “Our coaches just told us to go out and take advantage of that, so that’s what I tried to do as best I could.” LSU also defeated No. 15 Duke 1-0 on Sunday for its first win over a nationally ranked opponent since 2013.

he Grandview Steelers continued where they picked off at Minoru Arenas, this time handing the Richmond Sockeyes a heartbreaking loss in their home opener. Adam Rota netted the equalizer with just one second remaining and Tim Chow scored in the second overtime period to lift the visitors to a dramatic 4-3 victory. The last time the Steelers visited Richmond was their 3-2 game seven playoff win last March — ending the Sockeyes’ season. Rota’s tying goal came after the Sockeyes’ Tyler Paterson was given a major for boarding with eight seconds remaining. The son of former Vancouver Canuck Darcy Rota also had an assist on Chow’s game winner. The Sockeyes had never trailed in the contest, leading 2-0 after 40 minutes on goals by Evan Thomas and Connor Alderson. Nicholas Wicks then gave his team a 3-2 lead on a power play tally with 1:30
remaining, setting the stage for Grandview’s late heroics. Richmond had opened the Pacific Junior Hockey League regular season two nights earlier with a 1-0 win over the Delta Ice Hawks in Ladner. The Sockeyes completely dominated the opening two periods but had nothing to show for it thanks to the heroics of Ice Hawks goaltender Jacob Latrace. The second-year Seafair Minor Hockey product turned aside all 49 shots, while the Hawks had managed just 14 on Kurt Russell. Finally, Jeevan Sidhu broke the deadlock midway through the third period on one of Richmond’s 10 power play opportunities. Delta actually outshot Richmond 14-11 in the final 20 minutes as Russell stopped 28 shots for the shutout. The Sockeyes return to action Thursday when the Mission City Outlaws visit Minoru at 7 p.m.

NDP, Grits ramp up campaign Graeme Wood
Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com
A
midst a crowd of supporters Sunday afternoon, Richmond Centre candidate Jack Trovato and StevestonRichmond East candidate Scott Stewart, both of the New Democratic Party of Canada, opened their joint campaign office on No. 3 Road, across from Richmond City Hall. Stewart said going doorto-door, he’s been seeing an “upsurge” in NDP support, self-dubbed by New Democrats as the ‘orange wave’ ahead of the Oct. 19 vote. Trovato, a school teacher, and Stewart, a retired police officer, thanked their supporters in the tiny office littered with orange balloons. Trovato made a point of his concerns about growing inequality in Canada. “The reason that so many Canadians (immigrate here)
is for hope, for an equal opportunity. And that’s what the NDP stands for. Whether it’s pensions for our seniors, or healthcare, or good public education; it’s about creating that level playing field for opportunity. What you do with that opportunity, that’s up to you through hard work, dedication and sacrifice,” said Trovato. He said he experiences inequality daily at his job in Burnaby, where kids come to school hungry. No one’s addressing the fundamental root cause of poverty, said Trovato, who ran unsuccessfully for the Richmond school board last year. When asked, Trovato said healthcare and small business concerns were predominant amongst people as he has gone door-knocking. His party plans to cut small business taxes by 20 per cent. Trovato said families want affordable childcare and seniors want better pensions.
!
Liberal opening
Meanwhile, down the road on the north side of Westminster Highway, a stone’s throw outside his riding, lawyer and Liberal Party of Canada candidate Joe Peschisolido opened his office. Surrounded by a throng of happy supporters and volunteers nibbling on potato salad and samosas, the former Member of Parliament was quick to trumpet Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s platform while critiquing the New Democrats and Conservatives. Not afraid to use the “R” word, Peschisolido said Prime Minister Stephen Harper is to blame for Canada’s most recent recession. He said the economy, infrastructure, foreign policy and national security are top Liberal priorities, but didn’t go into detail as to what needs to change. When asked what he has been hearing door-to-door, Pe-
schisolido said “a lot of people want change,” however, many are not “crystalizing” any one particular issue. The Liberal’s greatest competition for evoking “change” is the NDP. Peschisolido repeated Trudeau’s statement that NDP leader Thomas Mulcair does not have a clear direction for Canada. “You cannot implement a Tommy Douglas vision on a Stephen Harper budget,” echoed Peschisolido, who noted the Liberals would run “minor” deficits to pay for more infrastructure improvements across the country. He likened the Liberal plan to U.S. president Barack Obama’s economic policies (since 2011 the U.S. and Canada’s GDP growth has been similar). Peschisolido said his party would work better with cities and give them more funding.
