alloween night may have been chock full of “scary” events for trick or treaters, but it wasn’t for Richmond’s firefighters and police. According to statistics for Saturday night, there were no significant calls, and no increase in calls compared to other Halloween nights in the last three years, said Richmond’s Deputy Fire Chief Kim Howell. Howell owed the lack of a spike in recent years to city bylaws that restrict the use of fireworks without a permit and a total of five, organized community events where fireworks were set off — with a permit — by professionals in the pyrotechnic business. “Its (permitted use) made a big difference in the number of calls we answer on Halloween night,” Howell said, adding the number of community events means trick or treaters are not missing out and can still enjoy dazzling shows in the skies.

About that smell, city demands odour control Graeme Wood
Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com
A
n increase in organic waste diversion, a degraded biofilter, calm winds and, perhaps, media reports such as this one, have all apparently contributed to a spike in complaints of odour emanating from the Harvest Power composting and waste-to-energy plant in east Richmond. As such, the City of Richmond will be requesting that Metro Vancouver regional government implement more streamlined odour control regulations for composting facilities throughout the region.
A Richmond city council committee approved the request, via a city staff report, on Monday. Harvest Power takes used soil, garden waste and food scraps and turns them into fertile soil while burning off biogas to generate electricity. To date, the city has received 60 identifiable complaints this year concerning the smell that emits from the plant and wafts over Lulu Island. The report states there are several reasons for the complaints. First, Harvest Power is handling more organic waste since the organics ban from multi-family garbage bins went into effect July 1. Second, degraded biofilters
at the plant may be playing a role in the noticeable increase in odour. Third, calm winds this fall and temperature inversions have allowed odours to linger in the vicinity of the plant. The report also notes complaints go up when odour issues are reported by the media. The report states Harvest Power has recently undertaken steps to fix its underperforming biofilter and biodigester. It’s also noted that Harvest Power has an air quality permit from Metro Vancouver. However, other, smaller nearby compost (organic waste) facilities do not. The city wants all such facilities in the region, however big or small, to require permits so that odours and complaints can be better managed.

‘Positive’ feedback doesn’t mesh with petition Anti-off leash advocate wants to see city’s survey GRAEMEWOOD
Staff Reporter
GWOODRICHMONDNEWS.COM
A
South Arm resident who launched a petition last year against the City of Richmond’s plans to install an off-leash dog area in the neighbourhood’s popular park believes her concerns have been ignored. Eve Rollet de Darantes, a 40-plus year resident of the area, said a recent decision by Richmond city council’s parks committee to approve a permanent expansion of an off-leash area in the park flies in the face of local opposition. “It’s disgusting, it’s a mess, it’s an eye sore and barely nobody uses it,” said Rollet de Darantes, who claims more than 900 people signed a petition last year to have the then pilot off-leash area removed. The off-leash area is situated behind South Arm pool. Presently, it covers roughly 700square-metres and is set to double in size with permanent fencing, following the committee’s approval. Feedback has been “generally” positive, according to a parks department report. Rollet de Darantes’ primary concerns at the time of the July 2014 petition were sightlines, noise, increased traffic and loss of
open space. However, the report states: “The public feedback that has been received since the installation of the pilot dog off-leash area does not indicate these are significant issues.” The department is set to improve the area’s landscaping and permanent fencing should help the appearance, the report stated. But Rollet de Darantes isn’t buying it. She wants to see proof of the positive submissions, although the report does give two examples. In a time when parks are being frequented more and more by residents and sanctioned off-leash areas are becoming more standardized in the Metro Vancouver region, Rollet de Darantes said, in general dogs needn’t be on leashes and off-leash areas are unnecessary. She said some dogs may be problematic but imposing off-leash areas is an excessive measure. Coun. Ken Johnston approved the offleash area along with other city councillors last week. Johnston, a dog owner himself, said compromises must be made. “So many people are using the park as a walking facility, and it can be a little unnerving to have dogs off leash.”
! Eve Rollet de Darantes says the concerns of area residents are being ignored as the city proceeds with turning the pilot off-leash park into a permanent one. Photo by Graeme Wood/Richmond News
Johnston said the city has done well to strike a balance with dog walkers. “We’re keeping more of an eye on Garry Point and the West Dyke to ensure dogs are on leash. I think in terms of enforcement and what we’re offering the public, the dog community is well served.” Last week, the committee approved permanent fencing at four off-leash locations, bringing the number of off-leash areas

to 11. The city hopes to have an off-leash area within 800 metres (walking distance) of every home. Along with permanent fencing, the department will also expand two other off-leash areas, one at Garden City Park and the other on Elmbridge Way. When asked by the News for more details of feedback the city did not resond by the paper’s deadline.

Complaints to police up slightly From page 1 As for police calls, Richmond RCMP reported a slight increase in calls on Oct. 31 — 156 calls that day, compared to 146 for the same time last year. And while there were the regular compliment of offences, none considered
to be of a criminal nature were directly attributable to Halloween, said Richmond RCMP spokesman Cpl. Dennis Hwang. A total of 29 were related to bylaw infringements, mostly noise complaints that may have involved fireworks. That was higher than last year
when 19 complaints were logged. However, the rise may be a result of population increase, Hwang said, adding education on the use of fireworks, permits and community-based events have all contributed to a relatively consistent number of calls to emergency services.
our people have been charged after a cross-jurisdictional incident ended with two Richmond Mounties being injured. The incident started last Tuesday, when Richmond RCMP officers spotted a stolen BMW sedan, reportedly taken from a residence in Squamish. The suspects then made their way to Burnaby where they transferred into an awaiting Nissan SUV. This second vehicle was reportedly stolen from the same residence in Squamish. While being tailed from a distance by police, the suspects then travelled towards the Fraser Valley and transferred into a third vehicle, a dark Jeep SUV, near Hope. In an effort to finally apprehend the suspects, two Richmond Mounties were injured after the suspects rammed the Mounties in their police cruiser. Aaron Dutiame, 25, is facing seven charges, including two counts of possession of stolen property and one count See Pursuit page 4

Christmas Fund family returns favour Graeme Wood

hen life took a wrong turn for the Hall family in Richmond four years ago, it was the helping hands at the Richmond Christmas Fund that nudged the crew of five back on their feet. “We were blessed to have the opportunity and it certainly was a life saver for our family, as we were in dire straights,” said Angela Hall, 43, from her home in Langley. Hall’s partner, Cheryl, had taken a turn for the worse medically and employment insurance had run out. For four years, it was a struggle to manage Cheryl’s disability and access government payments, as she was no longer employable. “That took a long time to get that to go through,” said Hall, noting the family also took advantage of the numerous community meals in Richmond. The family used the fund’s toy room, received gifts and was even sponsored for two years by generous donors. Where this story turns for the better is how the family is now in a stable position where it’s Angela, Cheryl and their three children who have decided to give back. “So, this year, instead of purchas-

e’d answered the doorbell, and a pleasant woman greeted us, but what she had to say was alarming. “Something’s happened at the playground! They’re taking it away — the benches too!” Our Rideau Park neighbourhood was suddenly up in arms. Years earlier, our neighbourhood school had become an adult learning centre, which also hosts a popular after-school Mandarin program for six to nine-year-olds. The park playground, that local people had funded, kept doing its job. However, when school district staff decided the playground was worn out, they didn’t consult us. So far, the only silver lining is that the dissonance may make the school district and city more mindful when other schools are closed. A combined city/school park in the core of a Richmond neighbourhood is not to be dismissed lightly. In our case, all cultures and ages have always come together at the playground. There would be parents and grandparents with kids. Elderly people liked to sit on the park benches, enjoying the treed setting and cheerful activity. Friendly dogs and their humans dropped by. We want that back. School trustees seemed to get the message when more than 20 residents attended an October board meeting. Long-time
resident Rick Townsend presented the playground story. Others, including an eloquent seven-year-old, filled it out. A response is due soon. Last week, Coun. Chak Au, who had talked with locals at the playground site, added the issue to the city’s parks committee agenda. I spoke about it at the parks meeting in the context of another agenda item, Richmond’s community wellness strategy. There was a healthy discussion and it was determined that staff would follow up and report back. At this point, it seems the school district will refurbish the old park benches and return them but won’t replace the playground equipment. The city could put in a play structure, although the natural place for it is on school district land, where the old playground was. This situation cries out for thoughtful cooperation, and that’s where the community wellness strategy comes in. The strategy requires the city and school district, along with Vancouver Coastal Health, to work together to foster physical, mental and social wellness. The playground, which has a cherished role in our wellness, is a perfect place to put that strategy into effect. With school closures looming, bigger challenges will arise. Imagine if the school board tried to sell its share of a city/school neighbourhood park for development. Whatever happens, neighbourhoods must thrive. A restored Rideau Park playground is a great place to start. Jim Wright is president of the Garden City Conservation Society

Zoning info session on tap GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter
GWOODRICHMONDNEWS.COM
T
he City of Richmond is holding a public information session on new, proposed single-family home zoning regulations Thursday evening at city hall. The elimination of land-use contracts, which are widespread throughout most single-family neighbourhoods in Richmond, would result in fewer mega homes being built. The city is proposing to terminate the contracts in one year’s time, following the adoption of a new bylaw, which will be presented at a special public hearing later this month. Doing so would bring all single-family properties under the same zoning regulations. Presently, roughly 4,000 single-family residential properties fall under the provincially designated contracts that do not restrict floor areas of new homes, provide for smaller setbacks and allow taller homes with third-storey balconies. The contracts have caused several quagmires for city planners and many residents have railed against the types of homes that have been allowed to be built on such properties. Land-use contracts also affect apartments and commercial properties. All-inall, 5,200 properties are affected by the proposed termination.
As such, the city anticipates that a significant number of people will want to attend the public hearing. While the bylaw is expected to pass, those wishing to appeal the decision, as it relates to their individual property, may do so by applying to the Board of Variance. Upon paying a fee of roughly $600, residents whose properties have land-use contracts can submit their appeal to the board stating reasons of hardship. There are five members on the citizenrun board, including Dalip Sandhu, Sheldon Nider, Eldon Lau, Abdolhamid Ghanbari and Howard Jampolsky. The terms of the latter three members expire at the end of this year and Richmond city council will soon choose three replacements from a list of applicants. If an appeal is approved such a property would not have its land-use contract expire until 2024 (at which point the Province of B.C. terminates it automatically). This would effectively give the property owner more time to develop the property with a new home. City planners have noted there are benefits to terminating the contracts, such as the ability to build coach houses and secondary suites. The information session (4 - 8 p.m.) is a primer for residents to understand the zoning issues prior to a special public hearing on Tuesday, Nov. 24 at 7 p.m. at the Executive Plaza Hotel (7311 Westminster Hwy.).

What’s the point of a pier at Garry? Dear Editor, Re: “Pier Pressure at Gary Pt.,” News, Oct. 30. One has to ask, how many “legacy projects” are going to be built in Richmond? Don’t we have enough “white elephants” built with hard-earned, taxpayer dollars? This is just another asinine idea promoted by Coun. Bill McNulty. If you go back to 2011, it was McNulty and his sidekick Coun. Harold Steves, aka “the dynamic duo,” who planned a tall ships festival but neglected to give the organizing committee in California sufficient lead time. Our “dynamic duo” felt that six months notice was sufficient when in point of fact these festivals are planned and booked years in advance. Based on information that McNulty and Steves provided to the city, planners moved forward and spent millions of taxpayer dollars on infrastructure to accommodate this phantom festival. The unsightly, permanent unused pilings are a constant reminder of the costly debacle created by the same person who wants to resurrect this project to the tune of $1.5 million plus $575,000 to bring one ship to Steveston. Every time I take a walk around Garry Point and look at the ugliness of those pilings, I am reminded of the person who initiated the doomed project in 2011. The question is, if a permanent “legacy pier” is built, what will its purpose be after five days of use? I am also happy to hear that our intrepid councillor has already been to Japan to discuss this matter and that an additional trip may be in the works. Of course, all of this is at taxpayer expense. When I look around Richmond I am in awe at the number of “legacy projects.” We have the $100 million Oval, which taxpayers “contribute” $3 to $4 million dollars a year to cover the deficit which was never supposed to happen. We have Branscombe House, which was

ecently, it has been reported that there are now more seniors in Canada than there are people under the age of 15. Quite a contrast from when I was a youth — we baby boomers out-numbered the older generation by a wide margin. As time has passed, my friends, peers and I are now all good standing members of the aged 55-plus, and we can be labelled seniors-in-training. And there are a lot of us. The City of Richmond has acknowledged that its seniors population will significantly increase over time, and with it, we want to ensure we continue to offer responsive services and programs that are meaningful, appropriate and inclusive for this diverse population. To address seniors’ evolving needs, we are updating the Seniors Service Plan, which will be in effect until the year 2020. This is a comprehensive review of the 2008-2012 Older Adults Service Plan and it builds on the achievements accomplished to-date. This new plan will refine and renew the
city’s decision-making framework and will be in effect from 2015-2020. Simply, the city recognizes the fact that active ageing helps encourage longevity and a better quality of life. Additionally, inclusiveness and connectivity in one’s community is highly coveted. While the city is officially age-friendly, we continue to seek ways to increase the number of programs and policies that will enhance liveability for our senior citizens. Towards that goal, we’ve consulted with the public over the past year to support the development of the plan — we’ve heard from seniors, their families, community associations and non-profit agencies. We also formed a joint Older Adult Service Plan Update/Age Friendly Assessment and Action Plan Steering Committee last year which comprises a number of the different stakeholders throughout the city to provide guidance to the development of the plan. Our aim is to support healthy and active ageing — working to bridge access to innovative care support and supporting seniors’ access to information, resources, services and programs. Many seniors choose to access services through their local community centres and
community associations and it is our goal to have a consistent and coordinated service delivery model. There will be a city objective to have well trained city staff, community partners and volunteers able to service our seniors. As you may know, for several years running, world health organizations have identified Richmond as a community where people live longer. According to a recent report by Statistics Canada, people in Richmond still have the greatest life expectancy in Canada. With this in mind, we are proud to focus significant efforts to address the needs of our seniors from a perspective of having a healthy choice of programs designed for our seniors and our 55-plus seniors-in-training. Watch for the plan later this fall. Derek Dang is a City of Richmond councillor

LETTERSto the Editor
Our parks are for us all Finally, an MP who cares Dear Editor, Re: “City’s naming policy a shame,” Letters, Oct. 30. It is entirely appropriate that the area at Saba and Buswell be named Lang Park. This park is located on the former property of the Lang garden nursery, which had significant frontage along No. 3 Road and included the area of Saba Road and the properties on both sides of it, going eastward for quite a distance. The loss of this popular nursery was keenly felt in Richmond, and its development resulted in massive change along No. 3 Road and in the Saba area. The renaming of the playground next to Kathleen McNeely elementary is an entirely different situation. Over the years, hundreds of Richmond parents have donated both fundraising and construction skills to build playground equipment for their schools and communties. It has always been understood that any playground would take the name of the adjacent school, and realistically, that is
how this playground will be known. Many donors made this accessible playground possible. I must admit to a certain amount of unease with this issue because there are other children to consider at the school. To name a community-funded playground at a public elementary school after a single child implies exclusivity and ownership where neither should exist. The City of Richmond has offered a signboard to recognize this child as the inspiration for the playground’s design. Richmond produces attractive and informative signage for parks and other locations, and one of these would provide suitable recognition for the child and her family. In addition, I recall that the play structure at Brighouse elementary was also built with ramps for children with disabilities. Perhaps a sign would also be in order at Brighouse? Marion Smith Richmond
Girls’ dress code isn’t an invite Dear Editor, Re: “Cops hunt sex assault suspect,” News, Sept. 30. Recently, a secondary student in Richmond was assaulted on her walk to school. Even though this incident was definitely very traumatizing to the student, some may argue that she was “asking for it.” There is definitely huge controversy about how teenage girls are dressing these days. Personally, I dislike these new and revealing fashion trends amongst my peers, as I am a Grade 9 student attending McMath. (Many girls expose their bras through large arm holes in the shirts, some don’t even wear a shirt. Some of them wear “bra-lettes,” a new fashion trend created by pop sensation Ariana Grande. There are also many female students who wear crop tops and short bottoms, whether they be short-shorts or a miniskirt.) Even though many young girls choose to wear those revealing clothes, they’re certainly not asking to be assaulted. “Asking for it” is an expression used a lot for challenging something (like a set of rules) or
someone. When young, under aged girls wear those clothes, they’re not challenging anything. They’re not challenging anyone. I believe those girls are just wanting compliments of how “fit” their bodies are. Maybe they’ve worked for something, like abs, and want to show it off. They want to show off all their hard work that had been put into their bodies. Or maybe they just want to fit in with the trends. Nobody likes to be excluded. Nobody likes to be an outsider. Just because a girl wants to show off her long legs with some shorts does NOT mean that she’s asking to have her butt groped. Just because a girl wants to show off her thin waist with a figure-hugging top does NOT mean she’s asking to have her breasts groped. Just because a teenage girl wants to feel confident with some revealing clothes does NOT mean she’s asking to be sexually assaulted. Just because an insecure, teenage girl wants to feel even a shred of confidence about her body definitely does NOT mean she wants/asks for someone to give her a traumatizing experience.

Dear Editor, The recent Fraser River forum, with head presenter Otto Langer, was packed with Richmond residents wanting to learn the unbiased consequences of various development proposals along the Fraser River including a jet fuel depot, coal trans-shipment site, and now a large, LNG tank farm. The threat to our lives, and the environment were well documented, and brought to light the real dangers which have been cavalierly dismissed by MLAs John Yap and Teresa Wat and MP Alice Wong. The big surprise, however, was to see newly elected MP Joe Peschisolido in the audience, and to hear his thoughtful ques-
tions to the presenters. The following day he apparently planned to have an extended meeting with members of VAPOR to gather even more information. What a difference in representation, especially compared to Wong, who has shown nothing but contempt in regard to this pressing community issue, and even greater contempt toward voters by not attending pre-election debates to answer to the public. It was great to finally see a competent, concerned and actively engaged member of government representing Richmond. JJ West Richmond

volunteer. Volunteers receive an orientation prior to their shift so no previous experience is necessary. An information night is also offered on Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. at The Coast Tsawwassen Inn. “Without a doubt, this program has already saved countless lives,” said Olwen Demidoff, member of the Legion Branch 61 in Ladner. “We have been supporting this program for more than nine years as we strongly believe this service ensures that those that call for a ride, as well as those innocent bystanders on a sidewalk or other drivers coming to and from various places have all been spared a potential accident. We call this preventative maintenance.” Operation Red Nose partners with ICBC, Richmond RCMP, Delta Police and many local sponsors, to service the communities of Richmond and Delta. On the nights of Nov. 27, 28, Dec. 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19 and 31st (New Year’s Eve) between the hours of 9 p.m. and 3 a.m., Operation Red Nose will be ready to serve. All sponsorship and donations are directed to the Delta Sports Development Centre. To volunteer, sponsor or book the campaign to service your Christmas party, call Delta Gymnastics, host of Operation Red Nose, at 604-943-0460 or email orn@operationrednosedelta.com.

ow would you feel if you had the power to save a life? If you have volunteered for the annual Operation Red Nose campaign in the past, chances are you already have... multiple times. With only four weeks to the first night of Operation Red Nose, the organizers are calling out for volunteers. Over the 14 year period that Operation Red Nose has been offered in the communities of Richmond and Delta, the demand for this national safe driving campaign continues to grow. “This year, we estimate we need over 50 volunteers per night plus our headquarters team to keep up with the demand,” said Carlene Lewall, Operation Red Nose coordinator. “We want to encourage our community to help us become silent heroes — providing a service that keeps our roads and families safe. Invite your spouse, co-workers or friends to come one night and participate. It is a fun and rewarding experience and if you want to use the service another night just call Operation Red Nose to take you back home — it goes both ways!” The campaign is offered on nine nights and an estimated 2,000 people and their vehicles will arrive home safely. Volunteers have to be 19 years and over and are needed to fill many positions. Areas include dispatch office, drivers and navigators. All volunteers are required to complete a criminal record check prior to participating in the program at no cost to the

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Guess Who’s getting bigger?
Tuesday, November 17, 2015 at 7:00 pm Registration: 6:30 pm
Arts guild’s anonymous sale grows to 150 submissions ALANCAMPBELL Staff Reporter
ACAMPBELLRICHMONDNEWS.COM
M
ore than 150 works of art — from oil paintings to photographs — will be on show and sale for the annual Guess Who event this Saturday. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Pioneer Church, South Arm United Church the artworks, many from local artists, all on canvas and 10 inches by 10 inches in size, will go on sale for $100 each. As before, half of the sale goes back to the artist, while the other half goes to the organizing Richmond Arts Guild’s charity of choice, the Richmond Food Bank. The work of many renowned B.C. artists, such as Dennis Magnusson, John Ferrie and Lalita Hamill, will mingle with the creations of around 45 Steveston-London students. The magic, according to the Richmond Arts Guild’s Lorraine Wellman, is that no signatures are allowed on each work of art, so the sale is truly anonymous. “It’s really quite exciting at 10 a.m., when everyone is ready to start looking at the art and start considering what to buy, before someone beats them to it,” said Wellman.
“And this year, we have multiple additions from the Richmond Photo Club, which will really add to the local flavour. “This is something that comes from the hands and the hearts of the artists and lots of people really enjoy the paintings they buy.” A little more than 100 paintings were on sale last year, so the jump to 150 is a welcoming sign for the guild’s event, which has raised more than $5,000 for the food bank over the last two years. “Many organizations have these events to raise money for themselves, but we cover the cost of our rent through our dues, so we wanted to help a charity with some basic needs,” said Wellman. “Food is about as basic as it gets, so we hand the money over to the food bank as they know how to best use the cash.” And in terms of the actual paintings that are sold, Wellman insists a new trend has begun, with people buying the works as gifts for their grandchildren at Christmas. “I’m not against Lego or anything, but (the paintings) are all 10x10s and they are great to collect and keep, for all ages,” Wellman added. The Nov. 7 sale runs 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Pioneer Church at No. 3 Road and Steveston Highway.

HELPING TO IMPROVE LOCAL HEALTH CARE FOR VETERANS, PATIENTS AND FAMILIES AT RICHMOND HOSPITAL
P
oignant and profound, the red poppy and its significance have reappeared across Canada to honour those who have served. “We do this for veterans and families,” says Carol O’Dell, Chairperson, Richmond Poppy Fund, whose campaign is under way. “It’s about respect.” The poppy is an emblem throughout the Commonwealth that commemorates Remembrance Day and honours members of the armed forces who have died in the line of duty. Each year, the Richmond Poppy Fund fundraising drive takes place with major assistance from the Army, Navy and Air Force Cadets between the latter part of October and November 11, Remembrance Day. In Richmond, the Army, Navy and Air Force Unit 284 (Steveston) and Royal Canadian Legion (Bridgeport) Branch 291 jointly operate the Poppy Fund. Veterans have been strong supporters of local health care. As one of Richmond Hospital

Foundation’s longstanding donors, the Richmond Poppy Fund has benefited the many veterans, other patients and their families here over the years by helping to purchase urgently needed medical equipment. “My father, my grandfather, my greatgrandfather and my uncle were all veterans. They all served and they all came home with various ailments,” says Carol. “If I can help raise money to help the health of someone who had put their life on the line for me, it’s all worth it.” Tom Brander, President, Army, Navy and Air Force Unit 284 (Steveston) says they are also proud to help improve local health care. “We have quite a few members who need care at Richmond Hospital. If we didn’t have a hospital here, it would be a big burden to have to go elsewhere.” Tom joined the Navy in Nova Scotia in 1969. His own father was in Korea and served for 25 years. He began volunteering for the Army, Navy and Air Force Unit 284 (Steveston) in 2008, becoming

president this year. In August, Army, Navy and Air Force Unit 284 donated to Richmond Hospital Foundation to help fund surgical equipment to perform intricate surgeries of the ear to improve hearing and help fund critical care ventilators in the Intensive Care Unit to help Richmond’s sickest patients breathe. “I’ve personally been in Richmond Hospital a few times and had great care,” says Tom. “We’re proud we’re able to help patients here.” As part of their fundraising, the Army, Navy and Air Force Unit 284 (Steveston) hold a 50/50 raffle and meat draw every Friday and Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Veterans Club at 11900 No 1 Road. Visitors are welcome. The annual Poppy Fund drive is now underway. Poppies are available for sale at approximately 200 locations across Richmond, including all major malls, bars, restaurants, liquor stores, as well as at the Legion at 11131 Bridgeport Rd, and the Patient Information Desk at Richmond Hospital.
How can you and your company get involved in improving health care in Richmond? To take an active leadership role to support Richmond Hospital, please contact Richmond Hospital Foundation to learn more about sponsorship or opportunities to donate to help purchase new medical equipment, improve patient care services and help save lives right here at home.

t’s so popular, that by the time you read this, tickets for the after-party will most likely be sold out. Not even the Oscars can boast such demand and it’s exactly why, for the fifth year running, the Steveston Merchant’s Association’s (SMA) Girls’ Night Out is sure to be another hit in the village later this month. Judging by the amount of swag bags that are snapped up at participating stores and businesses, the SMA estimates that more than 600 women partake of the annual socializing, eating and shopping spree on Thursday, Nov. 26. And the 120 tickets for the after-party at the Blue Canoe are gold dust; so much so that the ladies line up at O’Hare’s Gastropub on a weekday morning to snatch them up. “It’s hard to accurately count the amount of people that take part, but I do know that one of the participating businesses, Sinfully The Best, put together around 600 swag bags and they were all gone,” said the SMA’s administrator Mindy Phipps. “It’s a great evening of socializing and, primarily, shopping and it seems to get better every year.” Rain or shine, the evening kicks off at 4:30 p.m. with pre-shopping cocktails and appies at Tapenade Bistro and the Little Mexican Cantina. Then, from 6 p.m., it’s shopping all the way with participating SMA members offering deals, gifts with purchase and swag bags during the event, in addition to festive beverages and snacks in some shops. And while you’re there, pick up the Girls’ Night Out (GNO) stamp card. If you visit at least three SMA merchants and get your card stamped three times, you can enter to win a “Steveston Shopping Spree,” with each participating merchant donating a gift certificate. The participating businesses will be open until 9 p.m. and then the festive fun swings over to the Blue Canoe for the exclusive after-party, where door prizes are won, fine food is served and champagne and wine often flows late into the evening. With that in mind, this year, you can also park for free (overnight if need be) at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery. For more information, go online to exploresteveston. com.

C
onfidence is everything, when it comes to safety. That’s one of the main reasons Sirota’s Alchymy in Richmond is running a free, community workshop on self-defense for women. The one-off, 90-minute class will focus on simple and effective skills to avoid and, if need be, get out of dangerous situations. It’s all designed, according to Master Michael Sirota, to make women become a less obvious target for would-be muggers, or worse. “Once an individual acquires knowledge and skills, and we hope they never have to use them, they become more confident and assertive,” said Sirota. “And research has shown that they are less likely to fall prey in negative circumstances. It’s
believed that it helps people make an internal, subconscious decision not to become a victim. “The shift (from one state of mind to the other) is a mental one and can be very empowering.” Women who take part in the class on Sunday, Nov. 15 at Sirota’s Alchymy, 110 - 12280 Trites Rd. will learn striking and escape
techniques, as well as ground self-defence manoeuvres. The beginner workshop is free to all women (ages 14+). There are only 40 spots and registration is online at planetreg.com/ womensselfdefense. For more information, call 604-244-8842 or go online to sirotasalchymy. com.

Firehall gets gold Graeme Wood

teveston Firehall No. 2 was given the golden ticket last week for its energy efficient design. City staff told Richmond city council on Oct. 26 the building had been certified as LEED Gold, meaning it successfully achieved significant energy reducing features. Among the features are geothermal heating/cooling, a solar hot water system, storm water management through rain gardens, a green roof and a design that uses daylight efficiently. The 3,072 square-metre facility is the first City of Richmond building to achieve the Gold status. While it has been in use for several years, assessment time is needed for certification from the Canada Green Building Council. Architect firm HCMA designed the building while Stuart Olson Dominion Construction built it. Brighouse elementary, the RCMP station on No. 5 Road, Airport Executive Park building 6 and Crestwood Corporate Centre are other LEED Gold standard buildings in Richmond, according to the council. LEED — Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design — certification has four levels: Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum. A point system from 26 to 70 determines the level and Gold ranges from 39-51. The firehall received 40 points.

Youthful Sockeyes holding their own Mark BOOTH
Sports Editor
MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM
A
7-5-1 record through two months of the Pacific Junior Hockey League regular season is unfamiliar territory for the Richmond Sockeyes until taking a closer look at what exactly they have accomplished. Simply put, this is the youngest team the successful franchise his iced in at least a decade. Typically, the Sockeyes’ winning formula has featured a handful of veterans to lead the charge through the first half of the season while their youngsters make the adjustment to junior hockey. This year, it’s been baptism by fire with the club carrying a whopping 10 17-year-olds and eight more 18-year-olds. “It’s little bit by design and little bit forced upon us too,” said Sockeyes assistant coach Greg Harding. “When we sat down in the off-season, the plan was to have a lot of 17-year-olds. There were guys who we thought were coming back but ended up in junior ‘A’ or going to school. That opened up three more spots. “It’ really has been a work in progress with so many young guys.” Mac Colasimone was expected to carry a heavy offensive load, but the Ontario import took his final year of junior eligibility south of the border to play for a Colorado team in the Western States Junior Hockey League. Quinton Blois and Troy Sutherland were two other potential 20-year-old forwards who didn’t return. Richmond does have some experience at the back end with captain Jordan Andrews, Trevor Lima and Jeevan Sidhu. However, the latter two have missed much of the season with injuries. Both could be back as soon as this week. “Usually we have older guys who can help mentor and we can count on early in the season,” continued Harding. “They know exactly what we want and what to expect. Some nights we look really good and the odd night there is a lack of awareness and a little bit of confusion.” The Sockeyes pulled out a big overtime win over the third place Delta Ice Hawks (8-4-3) last week and also rolled to an easy 5-1 victory over Langley. They visit Aldergove tonight and host Langley Thursday (7 p.m.) at Minoru. Even with league parity being as good as it ever has been in recent memory, Richmond will be in the playoff mix come late February when its youngsters will have a full regular season under their belts. “We like our guys and have confidence in them,” added Harding. “The struggle has been getting everyone on the same page and understanding what their roles are. We have

high expectations for the end of the season.” Icing… One 17-year-old rookie has already come and gone from the Sockeyes. Local product Matt Brown was signed by the B.C. Junior Hockey League’s Surrey Eagles last week. He had the overtime tally in the win over Delta. General manager Richard Petrowsky was quick to fill his roster spot with another 1998 born player — former Greater Vancouver Canadian bleuliner Sam Atkins who was acquired from North Vancouver. Brett Gelz, Arjun Badh and Matthew Cox had the other goals in the win over Delta. Kurt Russell made 35 saves. The
Ice Hawks were led by a pair of goals from Richmond Minor grad Gary Dhaliwal. In the win at Langley, Tyler Paterson scored twice, with singles to Justin Schwartz, Alex McLeod and Cox. Russell turned aside 28 shots. The Sockeyes play two straight weeks of back-to-back games. After facing Aldergrove and Langley on consecutive nights, Richmond has a home-and-home series with North Vancouver next Wednesday and Thursday, with the back half taking place at Minoru. The defending league champs have won four straight to take over top spot in the Tom Shaw Conference with an 11-5-0 record.
Field hockey player wins major award in Ontario A
Caitlin Gordon
former Richmond Field Hockey standout has won a major individual award as a member of the University of Queen’s Gaels. Midfielder Caitlin Gordon is the 2015 recipient of Ontario University Athletics’ Gail Wilson Award — reflecting her leadership on and off the field, as well as her involvement in the community. The fourth-year life and sciences major has been giving back to Richmond Field Hockey by coaching and mentoring younger players since she was in Grade 9.
While at Queen’s, Gordon has volunteered as a coach with the Gaels’ new U14 program as well as with the regional U18 program. Off the field, the McMath Secondary School graduate has volunteered with Soul Foods and Martha’s Table, which provides meals for those in need. She has also found the time in her busy schedule to participate in various fundraisers for those affected by HIV/AIDS and was one of the team members who organized a workshop for high
school students about leadership and the power of peer influence. Gordon closed out her university career last weekend by scoring in her team’s win over Waterloo. The Kingston school finished fifth in the final conference standings, missing out on a berth in the OUA Championships by just a single point. The Queen’s roster was loaded with B.C. talent with eight of their returning players coming from the West Coast. The 2015 freshman class featured two more.
