Spectacular blaze destroys six-storey condo complex

Richmond voter turnout worst in B.C. by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

The Remy was scheduled to include affordable housing by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Tuesday night’s spectacular blaze that destroyed the construction site of a $60 million 188-unit condo complex on Cambie Road will have a far-and-widereaching impact on the community. Slated to open later this year, The Remy was to include a wide array of affordable housing options, but now is little more than a scorched pile of rubble. “The impact of this is going to be felt far and wide in the community,” City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend said Wednesday. But developer Dana Westermark has pledged to rebuild, and rebuild as quickly as possible. “This is a difficult time not only for us as a developer but for the buyers and partners who have been involved with us throughout the process,” he said. “We ask for everyone’s patience and vow that we will move ahead and deliver on our promise to bring a new, vibrant community to Richmond centre.” When first proposed, there were some concerns raised by Richmond Fire-Rescue that the city would have trouble fighting a fire in this type of taller condo structure. But chief fire prevention officer Dave Clou, who in February 2009 warned in a report to city council that the fire department lacked the firefighting equipment to tackle such a blaze, said that wasn’t a factor on Tuesday evening. Without any gyproc on the walls or an activated fire sprinkler system, there was little to slow the spread of the flames, and the six-storey structure—the first woodframe building of its size in the province—was completely engulfed in flames by the time fire crews arrived shortly before 11 a.m. This was a construction site, Clou said, and not a completed building, which made a world of difference.

Voter turnout in Richmond was the worst of any municipalities in B.C., according to Elections Canada figures. Just 50.7 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots in the Richmond riding where Conservative Alice Wong toppled her opponents. In Delta-Richmond East, voter turnout in newly elected Conservative Kerry-Lynne Findlay’s riding was 60.2 per cent. That compares with 61.1 per cent across B.C. and 61.4 per cent across Canada. The numbers don’t include voters who registered on election day at polling stations, according to Elections Canada. In the 2008 election, Elections Canada reported a national voter turnout of 58.8 per cent—a record low. In Richmond, just 52.6 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots in 2008, and in Delta-Richmond East the number was 60 per cent. Earlier this year, the City of Richmond’s chief electoral officer suggested online voting, polling stations in malls and published candidate profiles could boost declining voter turnout. David Weber said online voting would give voters another option, but noted “a significant amount of investigation and work” is needed before it’s considered for a municipal election. “It’s a good option, it does provide very good access for a lot of people, and it probably provides better access to those who are away,” said Weber. This week, the City of Vancouver announced it will employ online voting in a pilot project for the Nov. 19 civic election, pending approval by the provincial government.

Findlay sweeps to victory in DeltaRichmond East by Philip Raphael South Delta Leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay is off to Ottawa. The Vancouver lawyer and Conservative candidate for DeltaRichmond East swept to victory in imposing fashion in Monday night’s federal election. With results from all 221 polls Findlay had racked up 26,059 votes (54.2 per cent). Her nearest rival was NDP candidate Nic Slater with 11,189 (23.3 per cent). Liberal candidate Alan Beesley was far behind in third spot with 8,112 votes (16.9 per cent). Findlay said the message from voters in her riding and across the country has drawn the lines for the political future of the country. “I think it’s going to be very clear for Canadians now because there’s more differences between the Conservatives and the NDP than there at times seems to be between the Conservatives and the Liberals,” Findlay said. She added the majority now allows the Tories to go forward with their economic plan. “As far as this riding is concerned, I’m very excited by the results. As I said I didn’t want to just win, I wanted to win well and I think I’ve done that tonight,” she said. “I’m very excited about taking the message from Delta Richmond-East to Ottawa and these are great people here. This is a great community.” Retiring Conservative MP John Cummins had held the seat for several elections before stepping down last month to become the leader of the B.C. Conservative Party. “It’s certainly great to see Kerry-Lynne win tonight, and winning so well,” Cummins said. Asked if she had a house picked out yet—Findlay had promised to move to the riding if she won—she said laughing, “I’ve had realtors calling. They know I’m moving. But I’ve been a little busy over the last five weeks.” The NDP’s Slater said he was encouraged by his party’s showing at the polls and its new status as the official opposition. “I think it’s the result of people finally realizing the NDP is not the boogeyman, that it is a legitimate party,” he said, adding the results have already had a profound effect on the political landscape of Canada. The NDP has arguably saved the country from separatism, he said, as the Bloc Quebecois mustered only enough support for a handful of seats. The people in Quebec just didn’t believe in Harper, but they believed in the NDP and that’s pretty clear, Slater said. Commenting on the Conservative Party’s majority, Slater said, “I think it’s an unfortunate thing, obviously—we’re at extreme ends of the political spectrum. It’s the way politics goes, and it’s one reason why we need to have more proportional representation in this country.” Despite the almost landslide result, Liberal candidate Alan Beesley said he doesn’t believe the Delta-Richmond East riding is a formidable Tory stronghold, but was caught up in a Conservative tide that swept across much of the country. Green Party candidate Duane Laird said he was personally disappointed in the results in Delta-Richmond East, but happy for the party as it elected its first MP, Green Party leader Elizabeth May. He said the media will now have to listen to what May has to say on issues such as global warming.

Re-elected MP Alice Wong says her mandate is job creation by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter There was electricity in the air at the jubilant campaign headquarters of Richmond MP Alice Wong, where she was all smiles as she ﬁelded questions from a throng of reporters. Asked what mandate Richmond voters gave her on Monday night, Wong said: “They gave me the mandate to work. Keep creating jobs. The economy is number one. And law and order and also for the beneﬁts of those who need help.” On the Garden City lands, Wong said she’s always been a supporter of keeping it green. However when asked if she’d request that Ottawa return the $29.6 million the City of Richmond spent on purchasing the 55 hectare property, Wong was less clear. “Now this is not a simple issue because it has involved many, many parties. The First Nations, the city and also the Crown land commission. So it’s not an easy issue. However, I think that the most important thing is the city, for the city to know what to do and how to use the big piece of land.” On the proposed jet fuel pipeline from South Richmond to the airport, Wong said: “I intend to object (to) it...I have already spoken many times that I’m concerned, really concerned.” On health, she said: “I don’t think health is an issue here because he have already kept increasing the transfer to the provincial government, six per cent every year. So that is not going to be an issue, I hope.” It wasn’t just the atmosphere that was different at Wong’s campaign headquarters, when compared to that of her chief rival, Liberal candidate Joe Peschisolido.

There was a buffet of noodles, samosas and other fine Asian-themed foods offered to Wong’s volunteers and supporters in spacious well-kept surroundings. Not a single slice of pizza in sight. At Peschisolido’s cramped campaign headquarters, the theme was pizza, the office unkempt and littered with napkins, the ceiling tiles stained. One reporter questioned whether Peschisolido’s war chest was as deep as Wong’s, which seemed to be overflowing judging from Monday night. Wong and new Delta-Richmond East Conservative MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay will join a Conservative majority government under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Needing 155 seats to form a majority, the Conservatives won 167 seats. The NDP form Official Opposition with 102 seats. The Liberals were reduced to 34 seats, the Bloc Quebecois was nearly wiped out and reduced to four seats while the Green Party leader Elizabeth May was elected in that party’s first electoral win. Former Conservative B.C. campaign co-chair Bob Ransford said Monday’s federal election results didn’t surprise him as the Tories swept to victory in Richmond and Delta-Richmond East. Ransford didn’t feel incumbent MP Alice Wong was ever in any real danger from Liberal candidate Joe Peschisolido. “I think his track record speaks for itself,” Ransford said of Peschisolido, adding that he expected to see the Liberals suffer losses at the polls. “I think Alice has proved to be a capable Member of Parliament and has shown over the last couple of years that she really understands the issues locally and I think she’s built a base and I never felt that she would be threatened.”

Wong won big Alice Wong had 58.33 per cent of the vote, a big jump over 2008’s share, where she got 49.77 per cent. She won with 25,104 votes, more than 17,000 ahead of second place finisher Joe Peschisolido of the Liberals. Peschisolido, a former Richmond MP, had 8,035 votes for 18.67 per cent. By comparison, Raymond Chan, the incumbent Liberals who lost the 2008 election to Alice Wong had 30.85 per cent of the vote—and that was an 11.98 per cent drop over the 2006 result The NDP’s Dale Jackaman finished with 7,862 votes, or 18.27%, up from 11.81% in 2008. Green Party candidate Michael Wolfe had 2,034 votes (4.73%). Wong was first elected in 2008 and served as the parliamentary secretary for multiculturalism the past term. In Delta-Richmond East, Conservative Kerry-Lynne Findlay won with 26,059 votes to grab 54.2% of the vote. The NDP’s Nic Slater was second with 11,189 votes, good for 23.3%. Liberal Alan Beesley had 8,112 votes (16.9%), Green candidate Duane Laird had 2,324 votes, independent John Shavluk got 220 and Libertarian Jeff Monds managed 147 votes.

Editor It was a good news, bad news night for Richmond NDP candidate Dale Jackaman. Jackaman was delighted to see NDP leader Jack Layton set to become Ofﬁcial Opposition leader after New Democrats won 102 seats. The party’s surge, dubbed the Orange Crush, was bolstered by Layton’s sudden popularity in Quebec, where the NDP supplanted the Bloc Quebecois, winning 58 of 75 seats. “I think people are going to take us a heck of a lot more seriously now and in future elections,” said Jackaman. “And we can have a real go at the Conservatives. They really need some serious opposition and I don’t think the Liberals have been doing it in their time in the opposition.” It was an historic election for the New Democrats, who surpassed the Liberals for the ﬁrst time and more than doubled the party’s previous best showing of 43 seats in 1988. “I think it’s a combination of the Liberals...being ineffective in opposition and...of Jack Layton actually getting things done in Ottawa, regardless with who he was to work through. He has managed to put his shoulder into both the Conservatives and the Liberals to get bills through.”

have won a majority and Jackaman thinks there are dark days ahead for Canadians. “We cannot trust Stephen Harper. He is a bad prime minister. He’ll go down in history as one of the worst prime ministers in Canada once people ﬁgure him out. “He’s a dictator. He’s a very, very controlling individual. He is very un-Canadian and undemocratic.” Jackaman also took aim at The Richmond Review, charging that the paper’s election coverage was unbalanced. “The Richmond Review has a nasty tendency of favouring the parties that have won the battles in the last election and ignoring those of us who didn’t do so well, regardless of the situation. So that didn’t help.”

Candidate and party drop in polls, but manage to elect first MP by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond Green candidate Michael Wolfe watched Monday as he and his party slid downward in the polls. But the mood was still upbeat at Creekside Community Recreation Centre in Vancouver, where Green party candidates gathered to watch election night results. “Although we were there to celebrate (Vancouver

Centre candidate) Adrianne Carr’s campaign—and that didn’t translate into a reason to be cheerful—it was Elizabeth May’s campaign that really set it off for us. The candidates were pleased that we played a role in it.” May, the Green party’s leader, won her riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands with 46.3 per cent of the vote, beating Conservative incumbent and cabinet minister Gary Lunn by 7,359 ballots. In Richmond, Wolfe ﬁnished a distant fourth with 2,034 votes, compared to Conservative winner Alice Wong’s 25,104. “Seeing 2,000 people commit to staying the course and providing sup-

port in my direction...I’m totally positive about the result,” said Wolfe, announcing Tuesday he’ll now seek the ofﬁce of councillor in November’s civic election. Wolfe ﬁnished with 719 fewer votes than in the 2008 election. But his vote

percentage was slightly better than the Canadawide total of 3.9 per cent. The party’s focus on May’s campaign and strategic voting reduced the overall Green vote, Wolfe said, and just one public debate in Richmond made it challenging to win over local voters. Nonetheless, Wolfe called the Green party’s result a “success,” as Canada now joins nearly two dozen other countries that have elected Green politicians. “It basically uniﬁes us with the global movement,” he said. “We have the ﬁrst seat, now we work on getting more seats and we continually build. So everything is going in the right direction.”

Jackaman said there were a lot more volunteers working this election, which helped make a difference at the polls. “It was a big change,” Jackaman said. “We even ran out of campaign signs.

“We tried, we tried,” former Richmond MP Joe Peschisolido lamented as he walked into his campaign headquarters, where not even his arrival could resuscitate his dejected-looking volunteers. As the polling station results trickled in, Peschisolido stood a distant third, behind not only his chief rival, incumbent Conservative MP Alice Wong, but also NDP candidate Dale Jackaman, who was riding high from an apparent national Orange Crush wave that saw NDP leader Jack Layton become the head of the Official Opposition. To say it was a somber night would be understating it. By the end of the night, local Liberal support had dramatically fallen, as they finished in a virtual deadlock—99 votes behind—with the NDP for a distant second-place finish, nearly 17,000 votes behind Alice Wong and the Conservatives. Volunteers and supporters who gathered in Peschisolido’s office across from the Save-On-Foods on Ackroyd Road sat and stared in muted disbelief as the national results were broadcast on live television. The appearance of the pizza man went virtually unnoticed, and campaign chief Mindi Cofman had to remind people to help themselves. But not everyone did, as some appeared too stunned to eat. While Cofman got the sense that people were tired of another election, Peschisolido didn’t get the same feeling during his door-knocking. Cofman was optimistic that the Liberal defeat in Richmond was the end of one chapter and the beginning of something new. “We had a fabulous candidate here,” Cofman said

of Peschisolido, who was gracious in defeat and complemented Wong and her team of volunteers on running a strong campaign. “I’d like to congratulate Alice Wong on a very solid campaign. I’m sure she’s going to do a good job as a member of Parliament,” he said. “I congratulate Prime Minister (Stephen) Harper. He’s going to form a majority government it seems. And the NDP did extremely well. Dale Jackaman is a good friend and he deserves all the support that he got here.” Shortly before visiting Alice Wong’s campaign headquarters, Peschisolido tried to raise the mood in his ofﬁce, but had a tough go of it. “I’m very proud of the work that we did. I think the Liberal Party has some work to do. I’m not sure how that’s going to play out nationally but we ran a phenomenal campaign here in Richmond. The national trends were perhaps against us.” If there was something positive to take from Monday, it’s the fall of the Bloc Quebecois in Quebec. “The last numbers I saw is that the Bloc had four seats in Quebec and I think that’s a good thing for Canada. Whenever you no longer have separatists sitting in the House of Commons, that’s a very good day for everyone. I would have preferred that Bloc Quebecois would have been defeated by Liberal Party candidates but that did not happen.”

Embers from the fire landed as far away as No. 5 Road From Page 1 With the building already engulfed, and the insides too much of a hazard to risk the safety of fire crews, the decision was made to battle the flames from the outside only. The building eventually pancaked, and even nine hours later, fire crews were still on the scene putting out hotspots and flareups. The fire made for a spectacular show drawing hundreds of people who came out of their nearby homes to watch the flames that reached dozens of metres into the sky and sent burning embers several kilometres to the east. Shirley Balesdent, who lives on No. 5 Road, near Cambie said a four-inch chunk of embers landed at her home, but fortunately didn’t spark a blaze. The embers sparked other smaller fires in adjacent building, in some cases causing rooftop fires that spread into the attic. As local crews focused on keeping

the fire from spreading, firefighters from Vancouver were called in to assist in responding to other fires in the city. News of the blaze spread like wildfire through literally dozens of postings on Facebook and tweets on Twitter. The orange glow of the burning building on Cambie Road, between Garden City and No. 4 Road, could be seen from several kilometres away, as could the massive plume of thick grey smoke, peppered by burning embers that flickered like stars. The sound of breaking glass, collapsing walls and crackling timber could be heard from a half block away, where residents watched the conflagration. As part of their investigation into the cause of the fire, fire investigators will be trying to determine its origin. As well, they’ll be looking at what construction activity occurred earlier in the day. If motorists, passersby or area residents saw the earliest stages

of the fire, when the blaze was confined to a smaller area, they are asked to contact the fire department. Clou also said investigators will be looking for clues in uploaded videos snapped by onlookers. There were no injuries, though as a precaution, 17 people were evacuated from nearby homes, Townsend said. Plans called for heavy equipment to be brought in to shift the pile of remaining construction rubble to allow firefighters to douse any remaining hotspots. The province and federal government each contributed $4.75 million to the project, constructed by Oris Developments, while the city chipped in with $900,000 and the province $500,000 toward a daycare for 50 to 60 children. Some 48 affordable apartments for low to moderate income families, and another 37 affordable homeownership units were to be made available.

EDITORIAL: Fire should serve as cautionary tale

fire that destroyed the six-storey Remy apartment complex Tuesday night should serve as a cautionary tale. Fires at construction sites happen. Some more serious than others. In this case, fortunately no one was significantly injured or killed. The building was under construction and yet to be occupied. The fact no other apartment buildings immediately surround this one served as a further measure of fortune. But this fire is much more than an inconvenience for a developer. It’s a wake-up call for city and provincial government officials to give a more careful analysis to the shift to sixstorey wood frame apartment buildings. Firstly, the amount of fuel a six-storey building provides to a fire is significant. In finished buildings, sprinklers and drywall help prevent fires, but at the Remy, sprinklers had yet to be activated and drywall yet to be installed. Imagine the damage this fire could have caused if the Remy was surrounded by traditional three- or four-storey wood apartment complexes. These construction sites need round-the-clock monitoring by trained security to help prevent fires from spreading—or starting in the first place. Secondly, a warning from Richmond Fire-Rescue in

Martin van den Hemel photo Fire crews continued Wednesday morning to work on putting out the ﬁre that destroyed the six-storey Remy apartment complex that was under construction.

February 2009 should be heeded by city and provincial officials. City hall has clearly supported the change to the B.C. Building Code to allow six-storey wood frame buildings. But the city’s chief fire prevention officer suggested the local department was illequipped to fight fires in the taller buildings, noting the city’s

ladder trucks can only reach 18 metres under ideal conditions— about 12 metres too short for a six-storey structure. The department said to fight a fire in such a building would require new firefighting tactics, more firefighters and higherreaching ladder trucks. But no new resources have been allocated to the department since.

Instead, the city has simply pledged to look into equipment and staff needs in a strategic plan that is being developed for the department. No lives were lost this week due to this fire, but if more tall wood-frame buildings are going to be built in Richmond—as plans call for—a closer examination of their safety is needed now.

Tom Fletcher These days the media never shut up about Facebook and Twitter and “viral videos.” In this year’s political madhouse, no candidate can be caught without a social media presence. So it surprises me that the breakout technology for public engagement turns out to be huge conference calls on the old landline telephone. “Tele-town halls” were ﬁrst deployed here by B.C. Liberal leadership candidate George Abbott. He got such big participation

that Kevin Falcon’s deeppocketed campaign quickly followed suit. Premier Christy Clark is doing one Wednesday evening for her Vancouver byelection run. Falcon, the reluctant finance minister, is using the same method to ask for options on the harmonized sales tax. In between hockey games over the next week, folks having dinner will be getting calls with a recorded message inviting them to tell him what he should do with the HST. Falcon admitted to some trepidation before extending such an offer to the general public. What he got at his first one in Surrey was 27,000 people who stayed on the line for an average of 16 minutes, hundreds who queued up to ask questions, and 90 minutes of surprisingly civil discussion with real people. I listened in to the first one hosted by Transportation Minister Blair

Lekstrom, where 5,900 residents of the Peace River region stuck around for an average 21 minutes to hear why he quit the B.C. Liberals over the HST, and then went back. That region and East Kootenay will be the toughest sell for the B.C. government’s mailin referendum in June. There were annoyed people. One man called it the “ripoff tax” that applies to groceries. Lekstrom politely noted that basic groceries are exempt from GST and HST. A farmer said it’s on top of the carbon tax, which falls harder on people who put up with cold weather and long driving distances. Another said cross-border shopping to Alberta has become even more popular. It was refreshing to hear real people describe their situations and concerns. Most had apparently spent little time poring over media accounts of the HST, but unlike the stale and spin-heavy debate that

resumed in the B.C. legislature last week, they were direct, polite and willing to listen. Falcon reported a similar experience after 90 minutes of questions in Surrey. Suggestions included dropping the HST by a point (estimated cost $850 million) and offering more exemptions, on things like gym memberships or bike helmets. Hundreds of people didn’t get to ask their questions, partly because the politicians took up too much time with introductions and smooth talk like “that’s a great question!” The patient callers were asked to leave messages for follow-up. I live-blogged the event on Twitter, including a brief debate with former NDP MLA David Schreck about the fairness of these town halls. Schreck said there should be equal time for a critic of the HST, otherwise it’s just government propaganda.

Judging by the NDP’s latest line of questioning, town hall participants aren’t missing much. Their big point in the legislature was that if the HST is rejected, low-income people would still get the GST credit. Yes, and the sun will continue to rise, but poor people will still lose a signiﬁcant redistribution of income. You’ll hear a lot about the HST in the next few weeks, with government and business advertising the merits of keeping it, and Bill Vander Zalm’s FightHST organization spending $250,000 of public money to continue its campaign of fear and ignorance. You could do worse than participating in one of these telephone town halls. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press newspapers.

letters Jet fuel pipeline should continue down the highway to Cherry Point the pipeline (now to maybe go along another non-residential route) more or less intact as originally proposed to the detriment of the Fraser River and its globally significant estuary. Also if this new rumored pipeline alignment is the only concession, the issue of public safety is still not assured as noted in my brief. Could I please ask for clarification on where your applications sits in that VAFFC has caused great needless anxiety for those that live in Richmond and Delta and has upset a large group that are concerned about this proposals rather callus attitude to one of the world’s great estuaries that now needs restoration and not more industrial development of this sort. The negative response that you have seen is just the tip of the iceberg and I question the public involvement and communications wisdom that may have had on your team that would have allowed such a proposal to proceed to this point. Many of us including some of us that put together VAPOR are not eco-freaks and we see the need for a healthy and competitive airport. On occasion, most of us do indeed fly out of YVR. Unfortunately, you have missed an opportunity to consult on several options you had before you and have tried to stuff an especially bad option though an environmental review process that is less than what

Editor: Re: Proposed Vancouver Airport Fuel Delivery Project. In response to recent comments, I want to emphasize that Richmond city council remains unanimously opposed to any proposal to build a new jet-fuel pipeline which would require an off-loading facility for fuel tankers or barges along the environmentally-sensitive South Arm of the Fraser River and/or a pipeline route that would pass through the middle of our community. The only preferred route for any jet-fuel pipeline involves the continued use of the existing pipeline from Burnaby with upgrading as necessary. If new facilities are proven to be required to replace the existing facilities, an off-loading terminal location for barges on the North Arm of the Fraser River, close to the airport, would be better. The city welcomes the Consortium’s decision to seek a 120-day suspension in the Environmental Assessment Review process to enable them to examine the option of routing a pipeline along Richmond’s Highway 99 corridor. The continued opposition from

many sources appears finally to be heard by the Consortium. Until now, real consideration of all other options has been rejected. While Richmond city council does not want any new jet-fuel pipeline, the Highway 99 routing alternative was a partial response to the consortium’s previous insistence on using the Shell Road corridor. Highway 99 would be preferred over the Shell Road corridor as it could largely avoid residential, farm and environmental areas. Richmond city council remains adamantly opposed to the consortium’s plans to use the environmentally-sensitive South Arm of the Fraser River as a transit point for jet-fuel shipments. We are deeply concerned about the resulting environmental and public safety threats. We strongly urge the consortium to revisit its approach. Also needed is a public consultation process that promotes consideration of a broad range of options and a real opportunity for Richmond residents to voice their concerns. Mayor Malcolm D. Brodie Richmond

is required under the circumstances. You were bound to get a very hostile response to your methodology and logic used in your studies to generate the proposal we are opposed to. As I have noted in my brief, you should put your pipeline down Highway 99 but it should continue down the highway to Interstate 5 and to the ARCO Cherry Point refinery to augment the fuel you can continue to receive from the Burnaby Chevron refinery though the existing Kinder Morgan pipeline. That is most logical and will create the long term safest fuel delivery system you are after and will cause the least risk to people and the Fraser Estuary. I would urge you to read my brief and go back to square one and develop a reasonable and logical proposal that will have the support of the public and those that have succeeded in protecting what is remaining of the Fraser River estuary. I look forward to a more acceptable proposal with better consultation and a project that most of us can support or at least not oppose. This latter goal should have been one of your major objectives before you selected the study team that produced the reports and the conclusions that we simply cannot support. Otto E.

Editor: Copy of a letter to Adrian Pollard, director of engineering, FSM Management Engineering Group Incorp. I have been advised that the Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation has asked the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office to suspend your environmetal assessment review for 120 days so as VAFFC can alter your preferred option to redirect the jet fuel pipeline from its previously stated alignment across Richmond farmland and residential neighborhoods to now follow Highway 99’s rightof-way to YVR. I was worried that this present scenario could well take place once you saw great public opposition to your project. I have advised others that the locating of a fuel line in residential subdivisions was simply foolish when other options that are totally viable and made more common sense but have not been adequately considered. I hope this was not a ruse by VAFFC to upset Richmondites and then you would make a compromise to take the pipeline out of the southeast Richmond neighborhood area and the public and Richmond city council would be foolish enough to back off from your project. This would leave the proposed VAFFC Fraser River barge-tanker transportation and fuel terminal (at the east foot of Williams Road) and

Sunday night fireworks were for a wedding, not bin Laden Quilchena inundated with complaints from neighbours by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter The fireworks booming and lighting up the darkened sky Sunday night in the Terra Nova area of West Richmond wasn’t a celebration in response to news terrorist Osama Bin Laden had been assassinated by the U.S. military. The Richmond Review was called by a curious resident, looking for an explanation for the noisy revelry that started around 10:55 p.m. and seemed to emanate from the area of the Quilchena Golf and Country Club. On Twitter, Cunning Pike tweeted: “Anyone in the #yvr #Vancouver #Richmond area know what the fsck all the fireworks are about? Nice going for 11pm on a school night” Tweeted Maggie Lin: “ #Osama death celebration happening in #Richmond ? Fireworks are going off like crazy by my house.” Richmond Mounties received a pair of complaints, one claiming they heard gunshots, another explosions.

Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said the noise came from a wedding being held at the Quilchena Golf and Country Club. Apparently, the individuals at the party had received a permit from the city for the display, described by the caller to The Richmond Review as an impressive piece of pyrotechnics, not just roman candles being fired off into the sky. Quilchena general manager Brian Taylor said Tuesday he’s been inundated with complaints. He said a member of the club held a reception for his daughter’s wedding and asked if he could put on a small fireworks display. The display was scheduled for 9:15 p.m., but was delayed until close to 11 p.m. “They were much bigger than we were aware of what was going to happen,” Taylor said. The lateness of the display was an issue, and the club is looking at instating a requirement that whoever holds a function notify the whole neighbourhood, Taylor said. Taylor said the club tries to be a good neighbour to residents. The thunderous fireworks display lasted five to seven minutes, and even caught the ear of Coun. Derek Dang, who questioned the origin. Now Dang and Coun. Bill McNulty will be investigating whether the city’s noise bylaw was bro-

“They were much bigger than we were aware of what was going to happen.” - Brian Taylor ken by the display and whether the fireworks bylaw needs to be amended to ensure late Sunday night displays aren’t repeated. “I didn’t even know we could have something like that,” Dang said Monday. Added McNulty: “I think it’s a bit much. I think it’s not acceptable.” City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend said the city authorized the fireworks ceremony for between 9 and 11 p.m. because it met all of the criteria of the city’s fireworks bylaw. Asked about the city’s noise bylaw, and whether the fireworks violated that, Townsend said there may be a gap. “That’s something we’ll have to take a look at in terms of future use of the bylaw...to ensure community concerns are addressed.” The Sunday night noise had some people wondering whether it was Bin Laden related, as it came not long after a U.S. television network address by President Barack Obama revealing the military operation that led to Bin Laden’s assassination.

arts & entertainment It’s Doors Open around the city Steveston artist Jodie Blaney one of over 40 participants in free city-wide event by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

his weekend Jodie Blaney will welcome the public to walk the paint-splattered floor of her bright blue art studio in Steveston.

The painter is one of over 40 participants in the fourth annual Doors Open event, organized by the City of Richmond. Doors Open allows the public to see inside places they’ve never seen and learn about the hidden crafts and cultures in the city. Blaney is a Steveston High Doors Open graduate who moved to •10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Toronto to pursue a career in Saturday and Sunday, publishing. But after several May 7 and 8 years in corporate life, she •Over 40 arts, culture could no longer ignore what and heritage sites open she dubs “a calling” to return doors to the curious; to the fishing village and start admission is free painting. •Doors Open site maps “I had a real epiphany that available at city faciliI should go to art school and ties and at richmond.ca/ give it a try,” she said. “It was doorsopen just something in me that took awhile to realize.” She enrolled at Emily Carr in 2008, earned a fine arts certificate, and found her footing as a painter known for strong lines, strong composition and bright colours. Blaney is also unafraid of calling black a colour. “I usually start on a black canvas and work my painting out from there. I kind of work from dark to light,” she said. Shedding a corporate skin was made easier by moving back to Steveston, whose community of artists gave Blaney an immediate support network. The late Steveston sculptor Alberto Replanski was among those who helped her along by giving her some studio space and inspiration before his death in 2008. “He was kind of like a mentor to me, and was really, really helpful in giving me direction and motivating me,” said Blaney.

Matthew Hoekstra photo Jodie Blaney will open the doors of her home-based ‘Blue Fish Studio’ in Steveston this weekend as part of the City of Richmond’s Doors Open event.

Blaney’s early artwork focused on Steveston sights. She’s added landscapes to her repertoire, especially ones from her own imagination, and her artwork continues to move in a more abstract direction. This is Blaney’s ﬁrst year participating in the Doors Open event, which she hopes will boost her proﬁle as a new artist living and working in Steveston. “I’d really like to help make Steveston more of a destination for art,” she said. Another new destination this year is the B.C. Institute of

Technology aerospace campus on Sea Island. On Saturday only, the campus if offering tours of its avionics and gas turbine workshops, as well as the hanger where students learn their trade. Other venues include places of worship, green spaces, art galleries, museums and heritage sites— including McKinney House, another new entry this year. This pioneer family home (now located at 6471 Dyke Rd.) was a top-of-the-line model picked from a 1908 Sears catalogue. Owners Curtis and Eileen Eyestone have been restoring it for 20 years.

Biennale public art auction cancelled Sculptures now being sold privately; Water #10 already spoken for by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond council might not be alone in its disinterest in buying art from the Vancouver Biennale. Organizers of the public art exhibition cancelled a Saturday gala and auction event due to a lack of ticket sales. Most tickets to the event were priced at $250 or $500. The auction would have marked the grand ﬁnale of the 2009-2011 exhibition that featured 40 works of art by 37 artists, including Wind Waves at Garry Point and Miss Mao Trying to Poise Herself at the Top of Lenin’s Head on Elmbridge Way. Phillips de Pury & Company of New York was set to conduct the auction of works displayed around Vancouver and Richmond, but will now sell the sculptures privately. “The sales very much continue. Now it’s all by private enquiry. We anticipate that will take the next several months,” said Biennale spokesperson Miriam Blume. The Biennale asked ticket buyers to instead donate their contributions toward purchasing a legacy sculpture. Blume said that netted the Biennale approximately $50,000 as a downpayment, adding a public event is being organized to raise more funds and collect opinions on what sculpture should be saved. Sculptures in Richmond will be removed once they sell—or once the Biennale’s agreement with the artist or city expires.

Rachael Chatoor will perform at Richmond Cultural Centre Saturday.

Blume said one of the sculptures, Water #10, at Cambie and River roads, has already been sold to a local developer. It’s believed the sculpture will be moved somewhere in Richmond. Last month Richmond council unanimously decided against spending up to $800,000 to buy one of the sculptures on display in Richmond. The Vancouver Biennale public art pieces—which included seven sculptures in Richmond—proved a source of heated discussion on letters pages and coffee shops since the ﬁrst sculpture arrived in October 2009. Miss Mao was the most controversial, while others questioned the appeal of of the “Heads”— Cabeza Vainilla, Cabeza Córdoba, Cabeza Chiapas—by Lansdowne Station.

Singer-songwriter Rachael Chatoor will perform Saturday at Richmond Cultural Centre as part of Cherelle Jardine’s Musical Expressions concert series. Doors open at 8:30 p.m.; show begins at 9 p.m. Free admission. The cultural centre is located at 7700 Minoru Gate.

Staff Reporter Charges are being recommended against two Richmond teens believed responsible for putting racist grafďŹ ti at a local elementary school and two other locations in March. The racist grafďŹ ti was discovered after Mounties responded to an unrelated fight that took place at James Gilmore Elementary School. Investigators believe the grafďŹ ti was sprayed either late on Friday, March 4 or early on Saturday, March 5. A ball hockey tournament planned for that weekend had to be cancelled as city workers painted over the derogatory remarks. Police found racial slurs, swastikas and white supremacy markings at the elementary school, on a

‘Remorseless’ Surrey mom Courtny Dawn Taylor must notify doctors

call to her lawyer, Chandra Corriveau, was not returned. As part of her sentence, Taylor must notify her conditional sentence supervisor and doctors if she becomes pregnant again, Richmond provincial court Judge Jodie Werier ruled earlier this month. Two of the many other conditions are: • “If you become pregnant you are to attend and maintain all necessary medical and counselling appointments as directed by your supervisor or your medical practitioners.” • “If directed by your supervisor or medical practitioner(s), you are to attend for medical examinations and testing for pregnancy and then to provide verifiable results of such examinations to your supervisor. This

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter The Surrey woman convicted of trashing her dead newborn baby boy in January of 2010 is pregnant again, two independent sources have told The Richmond Review. Courtny Dawn Taylor, 22, was recently handed a 12-month conditional sentence during which she’s under house arrest for the next six months. Taylor’s pregnancy has those familiar with the case concerned, as sources indicate her negative attitude toward this pregnancy hasn’t changed since her first pregnancy. A

will not be more often than at four month intervals.” Werier also ordered that Taylor provide a DNA sample. “...I am satisfied given the nature of the offence and the circumstances surrounding its commission that it is in the best interests of the administration of justice that you do so.” Two psychological assessments of Taylor found her to be a low-risk, and a low-tomoderate risk, to reoffend. A forensic psychiatric assessment conducted by Dr. Nina Fusco and Dr. Ken LaTorre “did not find any signs or symptoms of any major psychiatric disorder and indicate that she is at a low or moderate risk to re-offend. In their clinical formulation they found that

who trashed baby, is pregnant again Ms. Taylor was unable to provide a reasonable explanation for her actions,” according to the Werier’s written reasons for judgement. In the psychiatric report, they stated: “She asserted that she did not know that she was pregnant, despite repeated questioning from friends, being sexually active without the use of any contraception or birth control, and noticing physiological changes in her body such as weight gain. “As noted, she indicated that she only began to suspect her pregnancy two days prior to giving birth. “Fur thermore, Ms. Taylor’s description of the offence, observations by the police during questioning, as well as comments that she reportedly made to her colleagues before her arrest, suggest that she did not show any remorse or negative response. “Ms. Taylor impressed as being concerned with others’ perceptions

of her rather than the baby or her own health following the birth. It therefore appears that the criminogenic factors that contributed to the index offence include Ms. Taylor’s egocentricity, remorselessness, negative attitudes, sexual naiveté and/or irresponsibility, and perhaps substance abuse to a lesser extent.” Aside from the conditional sentence, she received two years of probation and was ordered to perform 50 hours of community service. On Jan. 31, 2010, Taylor gave birth to a fullterm baby boy in the bathroom of her boyfriend’s home. After delivering the b a b y, w h o w a s n’ t breathing or moving, she wrapped him in a towel and put him in a garbage bag. She then showered and cleaned up the blood, and then awoke her sleeping boyfriend. Concerned the body would decompose and smell, she asked for her

boyfriend’s help in disposing of the body, and they tossed it into the dumpster of a nearby school some 12 to 14 hours later. She missed just one day of work, but continued to socialize with friends, including visiting a casino. It wasn’t until a coworker noticed her sudden weight loss that the police were contacted. They eventually questioned Taylor and her boyfriend, who admitted to what happened. After a three-day

search by police at landfill at Burns Bog, the partial remains of the baby were found. But not enough of the body was left to determine whether the baby was stillborn. In her decision, Judge Werier said she could not ﬁnd beyond a reasonable doubt that Taylor was aware of the pregnancy more than two days prior to her giving birth.

Still located on the second floor, overlooking two ice rinks, the restaurant offers a kids’ menu of hot dogs, pizza, pasta, grilled cheese, and, of course, chicken strips. For adults, wraps, sandwiches, burgers and entrees. And when the Canucks leave the ice, this is the perfect place to bring the kids after watching a movie, swimming, skating, or bowling.

Six years ago, no one but the fishermen and a few chefs would be excited about this harvest season opening, but now, the day marks the beginning of spring, the beginning of seasonal, local food. During the past six years, there’s been a growing awareness about the largest prawns on the West Coast. It all began with a tale that goes like this: fisherman Steve Johansen took Chef Robert Clark of C Restaurant fishing. Chef tried the freshly harvested prawns and wanted them. “They are all going to Japan,” Steve told him. In fact, 90 per cent of the sweet, succulent prawns (with distinctive white spots) went to Asia. Grocery stores here on the West Coast and across Canada stock

the heat; lets the prawns sit for 30 seconds to 1one minute, depending on the size of the prawns; removes just before they are completely cooked; cools over ice; peels and eats. Laura Neufeld, the most experienced prawn fisherwoman on the West Coast, operates her boat out of Ucluelet on Vancouver Island. She likes a spot prawn ceviche. Dice fresh peeled prawns and add to lime juice. Chill in the fridge for 1 1/2 hours. Dice watermelon, red pepper, avocado, serrano pepper, and cilantro. Add prawns and serve with tortilla chips. Anyone who tries a spot prawn becomes a convert at first bite. The texture should be firm. If mushy, it means they’ve been overcooked. If you don’t get down to Granville Island for fresh prawns, go to the Steveston docks mid May. Fisherman Paul Bevandick and his wife Muriel will be there selling their spot prawns—flash frozen at sea in tubs of ocean water. (To defrost, place tub in cool water for about half an hour.) Buy lots. I must admit that I run out of my supply in January and then it’s a long wait until May. “In the past,” Muriel says, “I started selling prawns on July 1, but because of the demand I am selling as of mid-May. Last year, we sold out early, so Paul is freezing more this year. Yes, the public is more educated about prawns and they know what they want.” I can’t wait, I tell Steve. “We can’t wait either.”

Food for Thought

farmed tiger prawns, imported from Asia. Yes, prawns were passing in the night. Tiger prawns grow in murky warm water. Spot prawns grow in pristine cold water. What would be your choice? Steve tells me that today the number of exported spot prawns has dropped to 80 per cent. In the past three years, all his prawns have been sold locally. With the fishing season for spot prawns just beginning, he says that the phone has been ringing constantly, and people have been finding their way to his boat at Granville Island’s Fishermen’s Wharf, all asking about availability and tickets to the spot prawn festival that takes place on Saturday, May 7 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. (fresh prawns for sale off the boat and chefs cooking them on the dock). The conversation about spot prawns is ongoing. No one, says Steve, ever gets bored talking about them. They are, he says, one of the most sustainable, harvested prawns in the world. There’s no environmental damage and the large stocks are well managed. The season runs May to June, just eight weeks. And they are local. If you are one of the first in line to buy the prawns, they’ve been out of the ocean about half an hour, taken from just five to six miles off shore. On Steve’s boat, they eat them live. (I’ve done that once, at Tapenade Bistro in Steveston with owner Vince Morlet and Chef Alex Tung. It’s a delicious experience.) When it comes to cooking, simple is best. Chef Robert Clark brings a pot of water to a boil, adds enough sea salt to make it taste like the ocean. He then adds the spot prawn tails and removes from

Fishery violators get away without paying fines Black Press A huge number of fines issued for illegal fishing have gone unpaid, raising serious questions about the federal fisheries department’s ability to deter poaching. More than $1 million in fines are currently unpaid in B.C., officials from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans disclosed in recent testimony before the Cohen Commission into the decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon. Since most fines are less than $5,000, the total unpaid reflects hundreds and perhaps thousands of individuals who have refused to pay, confirmed Randy Nelson, DFO’s assistant director of conservation and protection. Nor is there any mechanism with any teeth to enforce payment. “We don’t have a system to collect and follow up,” Nelson said under questioning before the inquiry April 8. “It is of concern to officers.” Paul Steele, DFO’s national director-general for conservation and protection, told the inquiry the problem gets discussed “from time to time” but the department has been reluctant to spend the money required to pursue unpaid fines. He also said DFO has trouble getting other government agencies to collect fines on its behalf and fishery officers may also lack the legal powers to execute warrants themselves to enforce payment. Steele admitted under questioning

from lawyer Don Rosenbloom the situation threatens to undermine DFO enforcement efforts. “If it’s widely known that a person could potentially get off without paying a fine, then that could have an effect on compliance and the deterrence level, yes,” he said. The more than $1 million in unpaid fines is a cumulative total that’s built up over the years and includes all outstanding fines for Fisheries Act violations – illegal fishing by sports anglers, First Nations and commercial fishermen as well as habitat violations. Rosenbloom said later he was “shocked” by DFO’s admission of outstanding fines and its failure so far to act. Craig Orr, executive director of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society, also said he was disappointed by the high number. “The environment and the fish are the losers when we don’t collect those fines,” Orr said, noting the money can often be channelled into stewardship projects or habitat restoration. “They need to improve that system,” said Sto:lo fishery adviser Ernie Crey, another regular observer at the sockeye inquiry, who pointed to impending budget cuts at the department. “They’re about to lose $57 million over the next two years. And they need to find ways of collecting this money if they hope to enjoy credibility on the fishing grounds. So you have a double incentive to go collect these fines.”

34 suicides in B.C. linked to gambling since 2003 by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter There have been 17 suicides in the Lower Mainland linked to gambling since 2003, according to B.C. Coroners Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Owen Court. Between 2003 and 2010, some 34 B.C. residents

took their own lives, including 10 last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very difďŹ cult statistic to track accurately,â&#x20AC;? Court told The Richmond Review. Linking a suicide to gambling would be based on information received from the family or the content of a suicide note, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt that there are more cases that

we simply arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware of,â&#x20AC;? he said. Of the 17 Lower Mainland suicides during that seven-year period, Vancouver had the most with six. Richmond has one reported. Court said he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide any numbers for 2011, as the statistics are only compiled after a calendar year is completed.

Undefeated this season, the Red Hot Selects will play for the provincial championship in July.

Red Hot Selects net Coastal Cup by Don Fennell Sports Editor Monika Levarsky scored earlier in the game, but her ﬁrst and only thought when she stepped up to take the penalty kick was to get the ball on net. It wound up being the winning goal as the Richmond Red Hot Selects edged Semiahmoo Thunder 3-2 in the under-16 girls’ A Coastal Cup ﬁnal Saturday at Minoru Park. “I’ve played or coached many years in Richmond and this is the best instance of perseverance I’ve ever seen,” Red Hot Selects’ coach Clive Clarke told his players. “Many teams would have folded but you kept going. I hope you feel proud of yourselves because I’m proud of you.” A now well-established rivalry between Richmond and Semiahmoo began at the under-13 age group. With the exception of one season, they’ve met either

in the Coastal Cup semiﬁnal or ﬁnal every year. “They’re both good teams with excellent players,” Clarke said. “The respect we have for each other has made both sides better, especially when we play against each other. Today, it could have gone either way but I think our girls deserved the win.” After a scoreless first half, Semiahmoo opened the scoring on an early

second-half penalty kick. But Richmond didn’t waste much time tying the game on Levarsky’s ﬁrst goal. Semiahmoo regained the lead with only a few moments remaining in regulation time, catching the Red Hot Selects in a rare lapse. But as with Levarsky’s goal, Richmond was again able to reply as Amrit Berar (who also scored a goal during the penalty kicks) sent the game into over-

time by converting a pass from Summer Clarke, the team’s leading scorer. Once the game reached the penalty kicks, it was the goalkeepers (Jules McDonald for Semiahmoo and Joscelyn Wallace for Richmond) that stood tall. “I told Joscelyn that if we ever got to penalty kicks all we need is two stops,” Clive Clarke said. “She gave us more.” Clarke said the Red Hot Selects, undefeated in 26 games this season, simply refused to lose. “Most teams would have given up with two minutes to go, but the girls fought and fought. And in overtime, when the muscles were cramping, they kept going. What a year, and it’s not over yet.” The Red Hot Selects will play for the Provincial Cup, which Richmond is also hosting, on the July 2-3 weekend. The winner will go on to play for the national championship.

MidIsland is slated to visit Latrace Field next Saturday for games at noon and 3 p.m. “The boys are already learning how to win really close games,” he said. “In our third game of the season, against a really strong Vancouver team, we were behind 1-0 most of the way until the seventh inning. Then with players at ﬁrst and second and one out, we got a home run to win it. That’s really rare at this level, but our pitching and our defence helped us out.”

A 3-1 win over Richmond Senior Soccer rival Athletics has lifted the All-Blacks into next weekend’s B.C. senior men’s soccer semifinals versus Golden Ears United. The match will be played Saturday at 2 p.m. at Maple Ridge’s Westview turf. The All-Blacks survived an early onslaught by the Athletics, with keeper Peter Procter stopping a solid scoring chance. “For the first 10 minutes or so they were stronger on the ball and were rewarded with more of the possession,” said AllBlacks’ player-manger Kyle Shury. “The next 10 or so saw us settle in.” Daniel Tait opened the scoring for the All-Blacks with a first-half goal that beat the Athletics’ keeper on the short side. Ethan Lowenstein added to the lead with what was an empty net goal in the second half. Athletics scored their lone goal five minutes later off a corner kick, before the the All-Blacks sealed the victory on Ryan Dash’s goal with 15 minutes to play in regulation.

OF PET THE WEEK

“DIAMOND” NEEDS A GOOD HOME WITH YOU!

“DIAMOND”, ID #230191, 9 MONTHS, FEMALE HAMSTER Diamond is a cute and outgoing female Syrian hamster. She naps during the daytime and loves to run on her wheel at night! She was surrendered to the SPCA because her former owner was not permitted pets where they lived. Do you have room in your heart and home for this fun little girl?

> Lure of Richmond opening at Artisans’ Galleria

Richmond’s allure showcased in art

einforcing the city’s beauty, The “Lure” of Richmond art

show, which showcases 29 new pieces of work includAround Town ing Amanda Oye paintings, photography and fabric art, opened at the Artisans’ Galleria last Saturday afternoon. Over 60 people attended the opening reception where many won door prizes, sipped on punch and ate cookies while they enjoyed the artwork. The show “features all of the things that make Richmond such a livable city,” said Margaret Stephens, the treasurer and primary administrator of the Community Arts Council of Richmond, which operates the Artisans’ Galleria. It was Stephens’ idea to put together a show to display everything Richmond has to offer. “The ‘Lure’ of Richmond art show has been on my mind since probably last summer,” she said. London Heritage Farm, Britannia Shipyards and Finn Slough are among the locations featured in the artwork by 16 different artists who are mostly from Richmond. “This is the only place in Richmond that is full of local artists’ work,” Stephens said. “I really hope that people take the time to come while the show is open,” she said. The ‘Lure’ of Richmond will be open at the Artisans’ Galleria until May 16.

mother’s day Powerful person in my life

Mother’s Day contest

What sets her apart and makes her special, is that my Mom, Agnes Kripps, is awesome! She was the ﬁrst Ukrainian woman to be an elected MLA in B.C.; not only was she a feminist way before it was cool to be so, she introduced (with much backlash from old fashioned MLA men) the concept of teaching sex education in the schools. My Mom is a very young, and healthy minded 85 year old, and still gets that surprised “are you really 85!?” from people. She is my good friend and we go walking and talking every week, and sometimes visits me and my students, (who lovingly call her “Baba”) while I’m teaching art at Kerrisdale. She is my family’s biggest fan, from appreciating my own art work or my husband’s metal robot art sculptures or my son’s Shinka Martial Arts—she’s our tireless cheerleader that always speaks her mind truthfully. My Mom taught us all how to be strong and patient and loving and to always ask questions. She’s made the world a better place through her presidency of Children of Chernobyl and countless other humanitarian activities. Like so many others, I love and respect my Mom and I wish that everyone was as blessed as I am to have such a powerful yet loving person in their lives! Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! Julie Northey

We asked our readers “What makes your Mom so special?” We’ve published some of the great answers we received in this section. One lucky entrant gets a brunch for 4 at Globe@YVR on Mother’s Day. And the

winner is...Amber Lovdahl, whose children Kaiden, Chelsea, and Baby Brooklyn wrote a nice letter which appears on page B2. Also, the ﬁrst 25 entrants receive a free A&W Mama Burger Combo from the Seafair or Airport locations.

Super special Mom My mom is super special as she is the most hardworking person whom I know. Not only does she have to get up early to work at 5 a.m. in the morning till 5 p.m. at night every Monday to Thursday, she also has a part-time job as a waitress on the weekend working morning till late. In addition, despite her having to get up early every day, every time she comes home she would cook us delicious meals and do all the chores around the house. Even on her day off, she would spend time on us, vacuuming the whole house and doing laundry for us. She is the most wonderful mom anyone can ask for, devoting all her time to take care of her family. I love my mommy! Karin Lai

All the sacrifices What makes our mother special is that should would take the time out of her busy life to take care of us and did so many sacriﬁces for me and my sisters. Edward Jong

A great teacher What makes my mom special is how she has brought up my sister and I to be selﬂess individuals. My mom has taught us to be mindful of others in our actions and in our words. And that best way she has taught us is by her way of life. I love you mom! Angel Oh

Walk with Mom My mom is special because she takes care of me and my brother and sister. She doesn’t have any special abilities and

she does not run marathon races or anything like that. But, I think she is special. She taught me to make my own lunch for school and make my bed. She helps me with my homework, even when she doesn’t get the answers right. She goes to work a lot and so my dad picks up after school most of the times. So, when I do get to see her it is special. I asked her what she wanted for Mother’s Day and she just said to go for a walk on the dyke. She said we don’t have a lot of money for going to restaurants and stuff like that. It would be nice to go for a brunch with her but its OK to go for a walk, too. Geoffrey Magrill

Mom cares I am 8 years old. I think that my mom is special because she cares for me and loves me too she is the best mom ever I love she is a mom that a kid would love to have but she is my mom. Patricio Rivero

She believes in me What makes my mother special is that she is the Earth of my soul. She brings me to life, nurtures me, cares for me, teaches me, believes in me, and allows me to ﬂourish and become a person who is humble and proud to say, “She is my mother and I love her!” Shang-Yao Lin

A special Mom We wanted to write about our very special Mommy, Amber Lovdahl. She works hard everyday and still has time to be a super fan to all the things that we do. She is always there for hockey games, practices as well as cheerleading practice and competitions. She gives us fun birthday parties and takes us places and does fun things all the time.

What also makes her special is that she loved us sooo much. She had a double mastectomy as a choice (she has a family history of cancer) so she can be here forever and be our mommy forever. She is also super encouraging, and that’s why our mommy is special—and she loves us. Kaiden, Chelsea, and Baby Brooklyn

You can do it. That’s what my mom always has said to my sister and I. She has been my greatest supporter through my childhood, university years, and now motherhood. My daughter is so fortunate to have such a loving grandma and I can only hope that I will be half as great of a mom to my daughter as my own mom is to me. Tracy Lee

Young at heart Although 82 years of age, my mother Joyce Barker looks at least 10 years younger than her age and has the energy of a 20-yearold. She lives life to its fullest. Her intelligence, determination, resiliency and eternal optimism have enabled her to conquer many setbacks in life including the sudden unexpected death of my father at age 57, just months after they moved to B.C. to enjoy their retirement years. In the weeks before his death, my parents had been painting the exterior of their dream home. My mother who was 60 years of age at that time dealt with the pain and grief of my father’s death by not only completing the painting on her own of the exterior, but also of the interior of their home. Since that time she has immersed herself in volunteer work, including working as a volunteer at Tourism Vancouver every Wednesday afternoon for the past 15 years. She has made numerous close friends in Vancouver and is a world traveller whose interest lies not in a country’s scenery, but in its people and its culture. She is not only a mother to me but I am proud to share her as a “surrogate” mother to 4 other women, two of whom are immigrants from China and Taiwan. My mother is my friend and my cheerleader in life. I would not simply define my Mom as special, but also as an inspiration to me and to many others. Andrea Barker

remained in the concentration camp for eight years. During that time she endured many hardships and when she ﬁnally came out, my Father and my Mom had a family of six children. They had to start all over and fend for the children and she

My Mom, Mrs. Mary Yodogawa, along with many Moms, is special. But my Mom was interned along with my Father during the Second World War in Canada and

had to go to work, keep-up the household and sustain the family the best she could. Her courage and stamina won over and we, her children are all thankful for her selﬂessness. We love her very much and she is now 92 years of age. Patricia Yodogawa

There is no other like my mother. She’s most definitely a one of a kind. She can’t be pushed around. She always stands her ground and she always speaks her mind. She shoots from the hip. She won’t take any lip. She’s a feisty broad of five foot one. (She used to be five four, but she’s shrinking.) She’s generous and sweet. The nicest person you could meet, grandmotherly and full of fun. (Her grandchildren adore her.) She frequents the casinos. The pit bosses know her name. Poker. Blackjack. Roulette. Keno. The slot machine’s her favourite game. In her polyester pantsuit in a pretty pastel hue She’ll sit in regal splendour, sipping wine. She is ever so able to drink you under the table. And, she does it while still looking so refined. (She’s always a lady.) She is someone who I can look up to She has that magic mother’s touch. And, it isn’t just a rumour:She has the greatest sense of humour (that’s why she won’t mind my mentioning the drinking and the gambling.) I love her very much! Her name is Hazel Fernandez. She is a spry 78 years young, mother of 4 and grandmother of 10. She has only recently been widowed after 52 years of wedded bliss. Here’s to you Mum, I raise up my glass to a wonderful mother to someone with class! And a heart as big as all outdoors. Barbara Vaz

What sets my Mom apart? She’s over 50, takes martial arts with me, sky dives with me, and is often mistaken to be my sister. She’s young in spirit and at heart, and she

uplifts the world around her in a continual stream of cheery goodness. She’s my biggest fan, my biggest supporter, and she can transform broccoli into

chocolate cheesecake that is delicious and somehow good for you. She is magic for the world, and we are all lucky she is a part of it. Ono Northey

should be judged by their personality only – and not by who they appear to be. Treat others as we want to be treated is my Mother’s mantra. We

respect others and feel respected in return. I love my Mom for that and will pass these values on to my own children someday. Monique Teate
