Crime stable, but violent crime rises by Todd Coyne Contributor Despite some initial fears that the construction of the Canada Line into Richmond might bring an inﬂux of crime around rapid transit stations, a new report shows such fears were largely unfounded. The report by the RCMP for the City of Richmond looked at incidences of crime within 250 metres of Canada Line stations before the train’s operation from Sept. 1, 2008 to July 31, 2009, and then again after its opening from Sept. 1, 2009, to July 31, 2010. According to the report, presented Wednesday at city hall, there were 1,547 crimes near the transit stations in the pre-Canada Line period and 1,566 crimes after the train’s opening—numbers the report referred to as “stable.” And while the overall number of crimes occurring in these areas remained steady, there were some changes in the types of crimes occurring in the areas around Richmond’s transit stations. Property crimes decreased signiﬁcantly around Richmond-Brighouse, Lansdowne and YVR-Airport stations, according to the report. See Page 3

Retail puppies banned

Bylaw on track to take effect in April; pet store owners resist by Christine Lyon Staff Reporter Richmond is well on its way to becoming the ﬁrst city in Canada to ban the sale of puppies in pet stores. On Tuesday night council unanimously approved third reading of an amended bylaw that would prohibit the sale of dogs from Richmond storefronts, effective April 30, 2011. Bylaw proponents say the ban will limit impulse purchases and reduce the number of dogs bred in inhumane conditions without proper health care. The ban was initiated by Coun. Ken Johnston. “This will not end puppy mills, I get that. This is a step in the direction of sending the message to puppy mills

that your practices are not acceptable,” Johnston said. Other councillors hope the ban will encourage people to adopt puppies in desperate need of a good home. “There will always be people who want specialty breeds, but people can go to shelters and the SPCA and rescue operations to obtain their pets,” said Coun. Sue Halsey-Brandt. Council has agreed to send a letter to provincial representatives emphasizing the urgent need for provincial regulations regarding the condition of dogs offered for sale. Once the province comes forward with regulations, council may consider rescinding the bylaw. The move was a victory for the dozens of animal rights activists who ﬁlled coun-

cil chambers on Tuesday, many wearing red and white “Adopt don’t shop” tags. B.C. SPCA spokesperson Lorie Chortyk reiterated her support for the ban. “What a ban would do is effectively remove one of the venues that (puppy mills) have to sell their dogs,” she said. “Without that venue their proﬁts go down and I think it would actually discourage the industry.” The amended bylaw would affect three local pet stores: Pet Habitat, PJ’s Pets and Pets Wonderland. Local and regional pet store owners spoke before council in a last ditch effort to thwart the puppy ban. Robert Church of the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council said council is making a “huge mistake.”

The Richmond Review • Page 3 Christine Lyon photo In Richmond Friday, Christopher Kennedy Lawford, a descendent of the American Kennedy family, shares his story of struggling with drugs and alcohol.

Recovered addict speaks out Fundraiser draws attention to drug and alcohol addictions in Richmond by Christine Lyon Staff Reporter Christopher Kennedy Lawford was born someone with everything and lost it all to addiction. A member of the prominent American Kennedy family, Lawford struggled with drugs and alcohol much of his life. Now 24 years sober, he is an actor, best-selling author and advocate for addiction services. On Friday, Lawford told his sad, inspiring and sometimes humourous story at the Moments of Clarity fundraiser for Richmond Centre for Addictions and Turning Point Recovery Society. Two hundred guests, including clients of Turning Point’s residential program, attended the luncheon at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel. Born in 1955 in Santa Monica, Calif., Lawford is the eldest child of Patricia Kennedy and Rat Pack actor Peter Lawford. He is the nephew of former U.S. president John F. Kennedy (or “Uncle Jack”), cousin-in-law of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he learned how to do the twist from Marilyn Monroe. “I was given wealth, power and fame when I drew my ﬁrst breath,” Lawford said. The product of divorce, Lawford wit-

nessed the assassinations of his uncles JFK and Robert F. Kennedy. That adolescent trauma paired with his family’s predisposition to drug and alcohol abuse created the perfect addictive storm, he said. “I was terrified and I was angry and I was looking for a way out and drugs and alcohol gave me that way out,” he said. He discovered LSD at age 13. It was a Saturday in October, five months after the assassination of “Uncle Bobby,” and he was in Bedford, NY with friends. He had previously turned down their offers to drop acid. “They asked me again and I just said ‘Yes’ and my life changed forever,” he said. For the next 17 years, the only thing that mattered was where he was going to get his next drink or drug. “My drugs of choice were opiates, but it really didn’t really matter what I took as long as it killed the pain and filled that hole in my soul,” he said. At 19 he transferred to Georgetown University for American studies and found himself living next door to a commune of heroin addicts. “I said goodbye to Jefferson and Fitzgerald and hello to cops and to doctors,” he said.

Lawford compares heroin addiction to dancing with an 800-pound gorilla. “You dance wherever and whenever the gorilla wants.” Drugs and alcohol took Lawford to three jails and three intensive care units, landed him in newspapers and on the evening news, permanently scarred his liver, heart and lungs, and drove away most of the worthwhile people in his life, leaving him physically, mentally and spiritually bankrupt. Though he had the resources to stop using, his social status enabled him to continue. The last time he was arrested, the police in Brookline, Mass. let him out the back door of their precinct because of his family connections. A “high-functioning” drug addict, Lawford went to college, law school, and earned his masters in clinical psychology from Harvard Medical School, ironically with an emphasis in addictive behaviour. At the end of his battle, he was living in Boston. For nine years he had been switching doctors, shrinks, girlfriends and homes—nothing worked. Feb. 17, 1986 was one of the coldest mornings on record in Boston. “I awoke that morning with a dread like I had never felt before and it had nothing to do with winter,” he said. “The

only answer for the pain in my gut was to put a gun in my mouth. The problem was, I didn’t have a gun.” It was then he decided to turn himself over to the care of someone greater than himself. Lawford has been clean 24 years and has four children with whom he is honest about his past. His own father died from drug and alcohol addiction at 60. The closest they ever got to camaraderie was the night Lawford’s dad gave him a vial of cocaine at the Playboy Mansion for his 21st birthday. “My dad was doing the best he could. He loved me so much,” Lawford said, pausing to ﬁght back tears. “My parents gave me valuable lessons about what not to do with my kids. I love them for that and my kids will beneﬁt from those lessons.” Lawford has written three books: Symptoms of Withdrawal: A Memoir of Snapshots and Redemption, Moments of Clarity, and Healing Hepatitis C. He has made movies with the likes of Anthony Hopkins and Sean Connery, and speaks all over the world on addictions and Hepatitis C awareness, using his personal experience to help others. “I speak out so people know that recovery from addiction is possible.”

‘Why would you shut down the only visible source of puppies?’ From Page 1

“Why would you shut down the only visible source of puppies, the only source which the public, which the city and which animal protection ofﬁcers are able to monitor? The vast majority of pets come from unregulated sources,” he said. Church said it is not in pet stores’ best economic interest

to buy from puppy mills. “If there is a problem, for the most part, pet stores will pay the vet bills. We are on the hook if we deal with substandard breeders.” The solution, he said, is to lobby the provincial government to establish an animal care act that licenses, regulates and inspects all breeders, pet stores and animal

shelters. Gary Batt of Petland in Surrey agreed, pointing to Manitoba’s recently enacted animal protection regulations. He said the puppy ban bylaw discriminates against just three stores and may be in contravention of fair trade practices and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. “Breeders, kennels, back-

yard breeders, etcetera, they are all exempt from the bylaw and may sell, but the pet store may not sell the very same puppy,” he said. Ernest Ang, owner of Pet Habitat in Richmond Centre, said he is against cruelty to animals, that’s why he is in the pet business. “There’s only three pet stores in Richmond and a lot

of customers come to me and say ‘Why are you guys being targeted? You’re doing a good job.’” He suggested working with the city, B.C. SPCA and the Richmond Animal Protection Society to ﬁnd a better solution. The puppy ban bylaw still needs to undergo a series of public consultations.

B&Es cut by half From Page 1

But property crimes around Bridgeport more than doubled from 53 incidents in 2008-2009 to 136 in 2009-2010. Violent crime also increased by 39 incidences post-Canada Line, with a 2009-2010 total of 163 violent crimes reported— mostly around the city’s central stations. Business break-andenter incidents were nearly cut in half around all Richmond Canada Line stations and shoplifting, mischief and thefts from vehicles also decreased considerably. During the line’s construction, Richmond First councillors coined the term “Crime Train,” suggesting the name would stick if security wasn’t a priority.

Joint water patrols a ‘success,’ says RCMP Richmond RCMP and federal fisheries officers teamed up this summer in a marine patrol program that saw officers policing the waterways that surround Richmond in an unprecedented pilot project. Over the course of just 18 patrols from July to September, RCMP and local Department of Fisheries and Oceans officers checked 141 vessels on the water, issued 44 violation tickets, recovered a stolen vessel, disrupted a boat-theft in progress, responded to two vessels in distress, seized liquor and illegal drugs and handed out two 24-hour suspensions for impaired driving on land. In the report, presented to city council’s community safety committee Wednesday, RCMP Cpl. James Lunny said the marine patrol program was an overall success. “Positive comments were received on a daily basis, advising it was appreciated to see enforcement on the water,” Lunny said. He went on to note that of all the boaters checked for their pleasure-craft operators cards, “every operator queried provided a valid card, a rare occurrence where 100 per cent compliance was observed.” — Todd Coyne

Jury ﬁnds Berner guilty in stabbing death by Todd Coyne Contributor Joshua Berner, the son of a woman who was this summer convicted of taking the life of a four-year-old girl in an impaired driving incident, has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the stabbing death of a young Richmond father. A jury rendered the verdict Monday in B.C. Supreme Court. Benjamin Warland, 23, was found suffering multiple stab wounds on Feb. 1, 2009, on a front lawn in the 11000 block of Cambie Road. Throughout the trial, Berner’s lawyer, David Tarnow, claimed that Warland provoked the ﬁght and pulled the knife that ended his life, saying Berner acted in self-defence to

stop Warland’s attack on him and his friend. “I really can’t understand how the jury came to reject all that evidence,” Tarnow told the Review Tuesday. “I thought it was a very strong case of self-defence.” Lawyer for the Crown, Brian MacFarlane, countered that while Warland may have owned the knife and brandished it during the ﬁght, Berner went beyond his right to self-defence in delivering a fatal stab wound to Warland’s head. Berner testiﬁed that after exiting a Richmond transit bus on Cambie Road near Dallyn Road just before midnight on Jan. 31, Warland suckerpunched Berner’s friend, Christian Olegario, from behind, knocking him unconscious as the two friends were

waiting at a crosswalk. Berner said that he then turned around to see Warland coming at him clutching a knife. The two men fought and Berner claims that he was able to wrest the knife from Warland and, while struggling on the ground and with a hand over his face to deflect Warland’s blows, he “punched” Warland in the head with the knife. That “punch” left Warland with a nine-centimetre-deep stab wound through the left side of his head. Berner sustained bruising and a stab wound to his left thigh during the fight. After the fight, Berner said he dropped the knife at the scene and stumbled across the street to where his friend had regained consciousness.

No knife was ever recovered. A Richmond RCMP officer arrived at the scene almost immediately, responding to complaints of a fight. The officer searched Berner and Olegario and, finding no contraband and believing they were the ones fighting, released the two men, unaware that Warland, the father of a young boy, lay dying on a front lawn just metres away. Neither Warland nor Olegario told the officer about the fight with Warland. According to Tarnow, Berner’s lawyer, it was an hour and a half before the owner of the property on which Warland lay, discovered his body and phoned police. An hour and a half in which, Tarnow said, Berner went to the hospital and “anything” could have happened to the knife.

For the Crown, MacFarlane argued that Berner likely hid the weapon or disposed of it to conceal his act. During the trial, Berner’s defence called on an ex-girlfriend of Warland’s who testiﬁed that, on top of a penchant for violence, he had an extensive knife collection and often carried the blades around with him. Both Warland and Berner, 26, had a history of violence and run-ins with the law prior to their meeting in the early-morning hours of Feb. 1. Warland is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 3. Berner’s mother, Carol Berner, was found guilty in July of impaired driving causing death that killed fouryear-old Alexa Middelaer in 2008. She’ll be sentenced Nov. 8.

New treaties remain elusive in B.C. by Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. Treaty Commission’s 17th annual report describes a year of symbolic successes, mounting debts and continued federal delays in treaty negotiations around the province. The symbols inside the recently released report include restoring the traditional name of Haida Gwaii for the islands of B.C.’s northern coast, and recognition of the Olympic host First Nations as heads of state.

Treaty commissioners said those are the latest signs that the federal and provincial governments are moving to full recognition of aboriginal rights and title in B.C. The debts have climbed to $397 million, lent to more than 50 aboriginal groups in treaty talks since the commission began in 1993. Those loans begin to come due in the summer of 2011, but Chief Commissioner Sophie Pierre said agreement has been reached to extend the deadline for beginning repayment for

another 10 years. “First Nations that don’t have treaties, they have no means of starting to repay, so we have to extend that debt,” Pierre said. The latest federal delay is a freeze on allocating treaty shares of ﬁsh, while a judicial inquiry probes the state of Fraser River salmon runs. That inquiry is expected to report its ﬁndings by May of 2011. Salmon sharing agreements were reached with the Sliammon and Yale First Nations in southwestern B.C. before the inquiry began.

Police issue warning after man confronts girl Richmond RCMP are warning the public after what they are calling a “suspicious occurrence” near Blundell Road and Railway Avenue Monday afternoon. At around 4 p.m., police received a complaint of a suspicious man who approached a 12-year-old girl in the 5200 block of Clifton Road, according to Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley. The girl was reportedly talking on her cell phone when a man exited a nearby sport-utility vehicle and

“We’d like to ask parents to reinforce their messages to their children regarding walking alone.” - Sherrdean Turley walked towards her. The girl ran to a nearby friend’s house and police were contacted. “We’d like to ask parents to reinforce their messages

to their children regarding walking alone and not talking to strangers,” Turley said in a release. The man is described as Caucasian, in his 50s, approximately ﬁve foot ﬁve, with grey hair in a possible comb-over hairstyle, no facial hair, a large pot belly and chubby cheeks. He was seen wearing a beige T-shirt and dark blue shorts. The man’s vehicle is described as an older model silver SUV with a black roof rack and tinted windows. Police are asking anyone

who may have any information about the incident to contact RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

City to license B&Bs, boost guest limit Operators will need licences; opponents feel unheard by Christine Lyon Staff Reporter Richmond bed and breakfasts will soon be able to accommodate a maximum of six guests as long as the operators adhere to business licence requirements. Tuesday night, councillors voted 8-1 to amend a zoning bylaw and business licence bylaw allowing B&Bs to house up to six guests in three rooms—an increase to the current limit of two guests in two rooms. Previously, B&B operators did not require a business licence. The bylaw amendment recommendation came after Seabreeze Guest House owner John Falcus applied to rezone his property to accommodate six guests. His application was denied in June, giving the city time to clarify B&B guidelines. Neighbours of the Seabreeze on Springside Place have long opposed the expanded operation, complaining about trafﬁc, security, noise and property values. Licensing will give the city power to police B&Bs. “We want to fundamentally encourage bed and breakfasts, we want to have uniform standards across the city, and we want to have them duly licensed,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “We’ll have much more control over it this way,” said Coun. Evelina Halsey-Brandt. “A rezoning is there forever; a business licence is only there for a year.” Coun. Greg Halsey-Brandt voted down the staff recommendation at last week’s planning committee, but changed his tune after hearing from other B&B owners who have operated for years without incident. Lesley Kemp runs the threeroom Picture Perfect B&B in a cul de sac.

“There’s never a problem with speeding; people are not fearful for their lives; people are not coming and going at all hours of the day and night,” she said. “We only enhance the city by taking in our guests.” Linda Cooper of the Stone Hedge B&B said she has never heard complaints from her neighbours. “We need three rooms, six guests. We cannot live with anything less because it’s just not worth it as far as the money,” she said, noting the high cost of advertising and

“If we have to have a B&B, please keep it to two bedrooms and two guests so we don’t have all those strange people coming into the cul de sac.” - John Gausboel website maintenance. “We’re not making a fortune now, so cutting back would just not be viable for most B&Bs.” John Falcus agrees. “[Operators] need three rooms to make money during the summers and the holidays to offset the rest of the year.” He is pleased the city will address performance standards through the licensing process. “Licensing doesn’t pit neighbour against neighbour and I think it’s a really wise decision,” Falcus said, adding a business licence will legitimize his business and ensure continued reliability of operators. Coun. Harold Steves opposed the recommendation saying it is not right to enforce blanket licensing on

all B&Bs to overcome the opposition of one neighbourhood. “The residents have spoken against this bed and breakfast, therefore I’m not going to support the bed and breakfast,” he said. Residents of Springside Place continue to oppose the Seabreeze expansion, many feeling their concerns have fallen on deaf ears. “Nobody seems to listen to any of our complaints whatsoever,” said next-door neighbour John Gausboel. “If we have to have a B&B, please keep it to two bedrooms and two guests so we don’t have all those strange people coming into the cul de sac,” he said. Neighbour Sherri Lazaruk voiced her “disgust” with council’s “unconstitutional and undemocratic process.” “We, the taxpaying citizens, have voiced our total disagreement with the establishment of this B&B on our cul de sac,” she said, noting a petition sent to council three years ago. She said 90 per cent of residents on her street oppose the expanded operation, as do 40 others in neighbouring cul de sacs. “If this application proceeds, how will it be enforced? The city has been unable to enforce it to date. It appears to me that they turn a blind eye because they don’t know how to enforce it.” Brian Jackson, director of development, said staff will collaborate with Tourism Richmond to develop measurable performance criteria addressing landscaping, privacy, parking and life safety. Staff expects to bring those requirements forward by the end of the year. “[B&B operators] will have to meet the criteria, and then we’ll be issuing the business licence should they meet the criteria,” Jackson said.

opinion Animal welfare a provincial issue

n Tuesday night, city council made a popular choice—a politically correct choice—and given what was in front of them at this stage, perhaps the only choice. But whether it was the right choice, time will tell. More than likely, stripping the right of pet stores to sell puppies won’t do anything to improve animal welfare in Richmond. Council’s move will no doubt cut down on impulse buys— something that councillors suggested would happen when they similarly voted to ban the retail sale of rabbits. And those puppies purchased on impulse are most likely to end up neglected, abandoned or abused, once they grow, bark, eat, bite or shed. But the number of such impulse buys at Richmond’s three pet stores—purchases that end badly for the pet— represents a tiny fraction of puppies being raised in the city. As with all such jurisdictional bylaws, would-be pet owners can simply travel to another pet store in Metro Vancouver to get the puppy they want. City council should, however, be applauded for being unafraid to lead by example. Like the bunny ban, council hoped other cities would follow suit, and pitched a resolution for all municipalities to vote on at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. That resolution failed to gain traction, but you can’t fault council for trying. What all this demonstrates is city council is serious about animal welfare issues. Unfortunately, this shouldn’t be city business. The provincial government level—and the B.C. SPCA, which handles animal welfare issues for the province—is where these issues should be dealt with. Richmond council has done its part to bring attention to the matter. Now it’s time for council to get back to city business, and up to the province to determine if more needs to be done to protect our furry friends.

oday I reveal the B.C. government’s strategy to do the apparently impossible and win next year’s referendum on the harmonized sales tax. My conclusion is based on observation and deductive reasoning, rather than imaginary leaks from “reliable sources” as anti-HST crusader Bill Vander Zalm recently conjured up. In case you missed Zalm’s latest vision, he declared it in the wee hours before Premier Gordon Campbell gave a speech to local government leaders in Whistler. He predicted Campbell would announce he has capitulated to one of Zalm’s many demands and will move up the date of the referendum. Nothing of the sort happened, or will happen. The referendum will take place as specified by legislation

on Saturday, Sept. 24, 2011 and we will all pay the 12 per cent HST at least until then. But Zalm’s other prediction, that a rate cut is coming, will eventually come true. (As one of my faithful readers reminded me, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.) One hint of this emerging B.C. Liberal scheme occurred in mid-September. Doing a live interview on Global TV, Campbell mentioned that he is planning a major address to B.C. residents on the HST and the referendum. This means a televised fireside chat, which implies some kind of major announcement. Late last week the date was announced as Oct. 27 at 7 p.m. Finance Minister Colin Hansen provided another hint in his latest update on the province’s finances. The finance ministry is still projecting deficits until 2013, but the corporate tax revenues that dropped so dramatically in last year’s financial meltdown are now projected to improve considerably by then. Based on that, Hansen could have steered the province back into the black sooner, but instead he has carved out $2.1 billion of anticipated

Zalm’s other prediction, that a rate cut is coming, will eventually come true. (As one of my faithful readers reminded me, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.) revenue that is not yet committed to pay for debt or services. “That $2.1 billion in additional revenue could be available for a variety of things, and I think that’s part of what government is looking for feedback on,” Hansen said. It could be used to pay down debt, spent on the ever-expanding health care demand, or on “tax relief ” of some sort. You might remember when Prime Minister Stephen Harper rolled back the GST from seven to six and then five per cent. Like the price chopper at Wal-Mart, Harper whipped out signs with the new rate emblazoned in big blue numbers. This first appeared on the national news, and was then repeated in campaign ads. Campbell and Hansen have 11 months to execute

a similar strategy. B.C.’s HST contract with Ottawa requires the province to keep the rate at 12 per cent until July 1, 2012, after which time the seven per cent provincial share can be changed. But as Hansen indicated, they could announce a rate cut any time they want. Some time before the referendum would be useful. Also yet to be determined is the wording of the referendum question. Elections BC officials have to approve it, but the cabinet will craft the wording. Once the rate cut is promised, the referendum could then offer voters a choice. Keep the HST and see the rate go down in nine months, or vote to scrap it and see the old provincial sales tax come back at seven per cent. Without a rate cut, what would be the incentive for you to take time out of a sunny September Saturday to go down and vote for the HST? With the promise of a rate cut, the HST has a chance of surviving. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.

letters Puppy bylaw for pet stores is wrongheaded Editor: “City moves ahead with puppy ban,” Oct. 7. The City of Richmond has the chance to take a leadership role to ban puppy mill style of breeding. Banning puppies in pet stores, our only visible source of puppies, is a backward step. Pet stores already self regulate themselves to not support puppy mills. Puppy mills almost always sell through newspapers, Internet, side-of-the-road from backs of vehicles, front yard signs, etc. They are not sold through the pet stores. We regulate pet stores but let breeders and kennels continue to do just what they have always done, out of sight. The only solution is to join with the pet stores who have been pushing for years for the provincial governments in Canada to regulate, license and inspect breeders, kennels and pet stores. Manitoba just this last week became the most recent province to enact a new animal care act. It is B.C.’s turn but we need the support of local governments and especially the shelters and the B.C. SPCA who so far have refused to actually join in and support the real ﬁght. Richmond, become a real leader instead of just being another one to push the issue farther out of sight. Gary Batt Langley

B&B outcry a bad case of NIMBYism Editor: Re: “B&B guest limit could grow to six,” Oct. 7. As a longtime Richmond resident, I really can’t believe what I am reading. In my own neighbourhood, I have four group homes located in what is effectively a single family zoning. Group homes allow for eight to 10 residents. In addition, many of my neighbours have their extended families living under one roof. The occupancy of the aforementioned is far greater than what a B&B would allow. None of these have created a neighbourhood outcry, and no evidence even remotely suggests a depreciation in property values. Such intolerance will simply force B&Bs to go underground. If you fear property values depreciating, make it a self-fulﬁlling prophecy by simply continuing with your intolerant agenda and scare off any future buyers who will see their potential neighbours as self-righteous, petty NIMBY’s (Not in My Backyard) and thus purchase elsewhere. Perhaps Council should rezone such intolerant neighbourhoods as AR zoning: Anal Retentive. R.A. Hoegler Richmond

HST a blow to lowincome earners Editor: Re: “B.C.’s haves and have-nots,” Tom Fletcher, Oct. 7. After reading this column, I was left wondering how Premier Campbell feels “the poor” benefit from the HST. My first introduction to this tax was the day I purchased dog food for my small companion. The price was increased by $5 in order to cover the vet’s expense for having it delivered. HST made it more expensive for them. My final bill then had another $5 or so added on, for my own taxed purchase. Added up, a bag of dog food is now $10 more a month. At the end of the year, there’s half of the wonderful benefit Mr. Campbell seems to think will smooth it all over. The problem is, that’s only one item on my monthly grocery list. Everything else, including phone and hydro increases, comes out of my $500 a month disability allowance. I wonder, would Mister Moneybags feel it’s such a good idea if he had to live off my (and a million others’) income? It seems the B.C. government does want to put an

Editor: I want to ofﬁcially object to the continued plans of the pro-development oriented parties to rezone Garden City lands from agricultural to urban without the knowledge and approval of the citizens of Richmond. Urban zoning is a new type of the land designation under the regional growth strategy and allows various uses including housing development, but none of these uses are consistent with the agricultural designation of this land. Nor is it consistent with the park and urban agriculture uses desired by the majority of people. Tuesday’s council meeting included a resolution to endorse a staff report with the city’s further input to the regional growth strategy. Unfortunately but not unexpectedly, the Garden City lands and DND lands are still being shown as urban. This undemocratic and faulty move not only opens the door for future development, but also complicates the creation of the park if it is ever going to happen.

Pay up, Bond tells TransLink mayors by Jeff Nagel Black Press Transportation Minister Shirley Bond is cranking the heat up on Metro Vancouver mayors, insisting they â&#x20AC;&#x153;honour their commitmentâ&#x20AC;? to deliver TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $400-million share of funding for the Evergreen Line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have to sort out how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do that,â&#x20AC;? Bond told Black Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Evergreen Line is moving ahead. We have a partnership in place and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a partner missing from the table.â&#x20AC;? So far area mayors are balking at TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to raise the typical homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property tax by $31 to help pay for the $1.4-billion line from Burnaby to Port Moody and Coquitlam ($54 if a broader package of mainly bus service improvements are added.) The premier last month agreed to wide-ranging talks to ďŹ nd innovative new ways to finance TransLink. The mayors now say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taken by surprise that only property tax increases are proposed to cover the Evergreen Line. Bond, however, accuses the mayors of playing politics on the issue, add-

ing she â&#x20AC;&#x153;ďŹ nds it hard to believeâ&#x20AC;? they genuinely misunderstood the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intent and thought a full consultation on new sources could happen before Christmas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once again the mayors are positioning themselves in a very combative way and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappointing,â&#x20AC;? Bond said. She said it was made â&#x20AC;&#x153;very clear to the mayorsâ&#x20AC;? that a TransLink funding supplement for the Evergreen Line would be before them for a vote by December using existing sources and that a search for new ways to fund more priority projects would be a longer process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am absolutely happy to have a discussion about additional tools,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that in a thoughtful way before December.â&#x20AC;? The federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pledge of $400 million for the Evergreen Line expires at the end of the year. Most of TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money now comes from property tax, fuel tax and fares. Fares are considered to be as high as riders can bear and TransLink plans already assume theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll rise 10 per cent every three years. Fuel taxes are at the

limit of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allowed under TransLink legislation after a three-cent increase last January. And mayors have said loading most costs onto property taxes is a nonstarter because of the rising burden on homeowners from regional property taxes to raise billions for major sewer and water plant upgrades. TransLink can also create something called a benefitting area property tax, which could raise more money from

properties close to new rapid transit lines, although that idea hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet been pursued. A vehicle levy is also allowed under TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a $122 average annual charge on each vehicle could raise an estimated $150 million per yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but it depends on the province agreeing to collect it, presumably through ICBC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to make a spur of the moment decision about a vehicle levy,â&#x20AC;? Bond said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to put it in the

context of all the other possible mechanisms that might be considered.â&#x20AC;? Mayors last Friday warned TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pointless for TransLink to embark on public consultations on the property tax hike when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re determined to vote it down

in December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a waste of time,â&#x20AC;? Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said at a meeting of Metro Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional planning committee, urging Jarvis to reconsider. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How much more clear can the mayors be? Property taxes are unacceptable,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our people are going to screamâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;they will not accept it,â&#x20AC;? added Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean. He said the province could still save money on the Evergreen Line by switching the project back to cheaper light rail technology, rather than SkyTrain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re through that decision,â&#x20AC;? Jarvis replied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The project is approved. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a business case to support SkyTrain.â&#x20AC;? He said a vehicle levy is an option to considerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;after TransLink gets through the current crunch to finance the Evergreen Line. He said road pricing also offers tremendous potential in the future because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way to

raise money and simultaneously encourage alternatives to driving and control congestion. Ideally, Jarvis said, such a scheme should charge based on distance travelled, time of day and the route, with options to vary the prices to encourage motorists to shift to off-peak times or underused corridors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the first time thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a recognition from the provincial government that we need to put all those things on the table and examine them.â&#x20AC;? The Mayors Council on Regional Transportation unanimously voted Tuesday to urge TransLink to withdraw the proposed property tax hike, which goes to public consultations starting Oct. 15. A second resolution calls for the mayors council chair (Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender), vice-chair (Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini) and two more mayors to meet provincial government ofďŹ cials to discuss alternate funding sources.

ince the arrival of the latest boatload of Tamil refugees, Canada’s immigration and refugee policy has again become a hot topic.

Terms like human smuggling, asylum seekers, jumping the queue, etc. have been thrown around. This latest development has prompted the formation of a lobby group, which calls itself Centre for Immigration Policy Reform. It has some very highproﬁle people as its members. These include two former diplomats—James Bissett and Martin Collacott—and Derek Burney, chief of staff to former

prime minister Brian Mulroney and former Canadian ambassador to Washington. This lobby group would like to have an open dialogue on Canada’s immigration and refugee policy. Canada is well known and respected around the globe for its policy of inclusion, openness and compassion. Immigrants built this country. As such, immigration is an integral part of Canadian history and culture. However, unfortunately, some unscrupulous elements do abuse our generosity. There is no doubt that in view of some of the recent developments, our immigration and refugee policy needs to be streamlined. Consequently, a nationwide dialogue on this issue will be quite appropriate. In the post 9/11 era, Canadian security must also be taken into consideration. As such, we need to be more careful about the people who want to call Canada their home. In this context, our refugee determination system needs a major review. We must put

more effective mechanisms in place to distinguish between bogus and genuine refugees. Perhaps we should work with the United Nations in preselecting genuine refugees who are in dire need of a safe haven like Canada. Also, there may be some other extenuating circumstances when we may have to provide asylum to those in need. What is needed is an efﬁcient and fair process. We need to speed up the process so that the decisions can be made within months rather than years. Also, we need to streamline the appeal process. This should discourage phony refugees to use/abuse the system for years at end. Once a person is deemed to be a genuine refugee he/she should be welcomed. However, those who don’t make the cut should be shown the door immediately. It is rather unfortunate that some high-proﬁle individuals are using this occasion to bash Canada’s immigration and refugee policy. They would rather stop all immigration, which

will be a disaster. Let us not forget that a large number of former and recent immigrants and refugees have made Canada proud. The names of Adrienne Clarkson and Michaelle Jean come to mind. Both of these distinguished Canadians came as refugees with their families. Similarly, there are a number of other distinguished Canadians who came either as immigrants or refugees who have made their mark not only in Canada but also at the international level. In view of this, to consider stopping immigrants and refugees from coming to Canada will be like throwing the baby out with the bath water. Certainly, a review or reform is overdue and needed. However, on the whole, Canadians can be proud of our policy of inclusion and compassion. This is what makes Canada a great role model for others.

Play speaks to modern-day audience

Arts Review Christine Lyon

ome families are far more functional than they first appear. Such is the case with the Jeromes, the striferidden Polish-Jewish family who are the subject of Neil Simon’s semi-autobiographical play, Brighton Beach Memoirs. The two-act show opened Gateway Theatre’s 2010/11 season last Friday. Turn the clocks back to 1937 and imagine the stage is a workingclass home in Brooklyn, New York. The spotlight shines on 14-year-old narrator Eugene Jerome (Dylan Kruger). He winds up, pitches a ball against the fence and

tells the audience he wants to be a writer or baseball player. But how will he succeed with the second-worst name ever given to a male child? After all, you’ve got to be a Joe or a Tony or a Frankie to play ball. “If only I was born Italian. All the best Yankees are Italian. My mother makes spaghetti with ketchup, what chance do I have?” Eugene laments. He lives in cramped house of seven people and has to steal himself away to write his “unbelievable, fantastic and completely private thoughts” in a diary which he hopes to publish one day. Kruger’s animated portrayal makes for a lovable character who, though sometimes childishly naive and self-involved, delivers one-liners like a professional comedian. Director Natasha Nadir explains in the playbill the story is a rewrite of Simon’s darker personal history. Set designer Drew Facey has created a

cross-section of the Jerome’s small two-level home. The edges of the walls curve outwards, suggesting extension, and allowing the audience an intimate seat. The spotlight switches ﬂuidly between rooms, drawing attention to Eugene writing in his upstairs bedroom, his cousins chatting next door, or an intense argument in the living room. When not in the scene, the actors go about mundane household activities like reading the paper or tidying up, which, albeit in the dark, increases the believability of the family. Eugene’s overbearing mother Kate (Deborah Williams) puts on a nasal Brooklyn accent that had the audience’s ears ringing every time she raised her voice. Her overworked husband Jack (Gerry Mackay) stands out as a strong and consistent character, with the most authentic Brooklyn accent of the family. (It was a difﬁcult dialect to master for the less experienced cast members.)

Jack works two jobs to support his family on Depression-era wages, a task which ultimately takes a toll on his health. Eugene has a love-hate relationship with his older brother Stanley (Daryl King). Their interactions produced some real belly-laughs from the audience, notably when the more experienced Stanley gives girl advice to his pubescent little brother. Eugene lusts after his 16-year-old cousin Nora (Susan Coodin), a precocious young starlet with her sights set on Broadway. Nora’s widowed mother Blanche (Sarah Louise Turner) and her younger sister Laurie (Chloe Doucet-Winkelman), a pampered child who doesn’t pull her weight, round out the sevenperson household. The second act takes a serious turn as the audience learns of Jack’s ailing heart condition and the impending war in Europe. The strength of the family is tested after an eruption of confronta-

tions and emotional meltdowns. The story becomes less about a dysfunctional family and more about an extremely level-headed one that believes forgiveness and unconditional love are more powerful than sibling rivalries, bottled resentment, jealousy and guilt. Characters who ﬁrst seemed no more than stereotypes begin to show depth and vulnerability and Eugene, though still preoccupied with the thought of naked girls, learns there are far bigger problems in the world than having to eat cabbage and liver for dinner. Look past the historical references and Depression-era brown and grey-tone costumes, and this coming-of-age dramedy translates remarkably well into the modern age. It touches on all-too-familiar family relationships and largescale issues still present today—prejudice, war and economic downturn—all seen through the eyes of an insightful teenager.

y remedy to shorter, darker, damper days is to lug home Mother Nature’s homegrown garden gnomes—those colourful, oddlyshaped, hard-rind orbs called squash. I tackle them with a sharp knife and hot oven to make homey food that makes me smile through the chilly evenings. Squash have been a staple in North America for 5,000 years and were a mainstay for early European settlers. Technically, squash is a fruit (because it contains seeds) and is related to the plant family that includes cucumbers and melons. Some varieties

Gently sauté the onion and thyme in the oil for about 20 minutes, or until the onion is soft. Meanwhile, toss the apple slices with ﬂour; the cheddar with bread crumbs. In an oiled baking dish layer the ingredients: the squash (with a sprinkling of salt and pepper), the sautéed onions, the apple

lic acid, pantothenic acid (essential for the metabolism of food and the formation of hormones), ﬁber, potassium, vitamin B6 and niacin. Low in calories, with no fat, sodium, or cholesterol, squash should be part of your diet. Wash the exterior of squash before cutting into halves or pieces. Remove the seeds and ﬁbers, and then bake (350F for 45 minutes), steam (25 minutes), or boil, and then proceed to peel, cube, mash, or puree. Dress any cooked winter squash with butter and herbs, a cream sauce, cheese sauce, maple syrup and nuts, marinara sauce or stewed fruit. Any type of mashed or pureed squash can be used

Kabocha Squash with Brown Rice Pilaf 1 kabocha squash Olive oil 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans 1 cup brown rice 2 cups water 1/3 cup currants 1 tsp allspice 1 tbsp dried dill 2 tbsp olive oil 1 onion, chopped 1 1/2 cups chickpeas (cooked or canned) 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

in the place of canned pumpkin in soups, pies, cookies or quick breads. Chunks of squash can be added to soups, stews and casseroles. We are fortunate to have ﬁelds of squash available to us in Richmond. If the most adventurous you’ve been with squash is the spaghetti squash (cut in half length-wise, scoop out the seeds, bake for 45 minutes, shred the strands, and plate with tomato basil sauce or butter and seasonings), try something different. You will be glad you did. Arlene Kroeker writes about food every Thursday in The Richmond Review. She may be reached at akroeker@ aol.com.

Place rice in pot with water, currants, allspice, and dill. Bring to boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer until water is absorbed, about 40 minutes. Set aside to cool. Wash squash and cut in half from top to bottom. Remove seeds and rub skin and ﬂesh with oil. Place cut side down on cookie sheet and roast at 400F for 25 minutes or until soft. In large skillet, sauté onion in olive oil until soft (about 3 minutes). Add rice and chickpeas to onion and sauté 3 minutes. Remove from heat and toss with pine nuts, parsley, and lemon juice. Season to taste. Slice cooked squash into wedges, group on a platter, and pile with brown rice stuffing. Serve.

Food for Thought

of squash grow on vines, while others grow on bushes, but in general, there are two groups— winter and summer squash (patty pans, zucchini, yellow crookneck). Winter squash (so called because they can be stored in a cool basement for months) includes butternut, acorn, kabocha, pumpkin, buttercup, banana, turban, kuri, and hubbard (not the complete list). All varieties are great for puréeing, roasting and baking. Once squash is cooked and mashed, it can be used in soups, main dishes, vegetable side dishes, even breads, mufﬁns, custards and pies. The shapes appear scalloped to pearshaped, and the colours in winter squash range from golden to yellow to brilliant orange. Like other richly coloured vegetables, winter squash provide excellent sources of betacarotenes (which your body converts to vitamin A). Remember: the richer the colour, the richer the concentration. They are a good source of vitamins B1 and C, fo-

With romance and suspense, new Nora Roberts novel one of yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best

Book Club Shelley Civkin

omance, suspense and dogsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;three of my favourite things. And guess what? Nora Roberts has written a new novel featuring all three! The Search focuses on Fiona Bristow, a canine search and rescue trainer, and Simon Doyle, a talented, hunky woodwork artist with a pesky puppy named Jaws. The story is set on Orcas Island, where Fiona lives in a quiet cabin in the woods with her three devoted Labrador retrievers. When Simon Doyle approaches Fiona and asks her to train his ill-mannered dog naturally she takes him on, in

more ways than one. As is typical of so many of Robertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; romances, the two protagonists donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really like each other at the start. She thinks Simon is a rude, aggressive, recluse and he thinks sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a no-nonsense, compulsive, Type-A personality whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;not his type.â&#x20AC;? Yeah, right. Needless to say, their budding romance is helped along by their mutual interest in Jaws. But I need to backtrack a little. Fiona had moved to Orcas several years earlier after narrowly surviving abduction by a serial killer, who is now in prison. When she finds out that another serial killer with an identical MO is out there murdering women, she realizes that she might still be a target. Early on itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that the original serial killer has taken on a protĂŠgĂŠ whose job it is to finish his â&#x20AC;&#x153;teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? work for him. When the â&#x20AC;&#x153;red scarf killerâ&#x20AC;? starts murdering close to Fionaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neck of the woods she gets scared. Which is a new emotion for the independent,

truckloads of suspense to keep you glued to the edge of your seat. And with all the dog training stuff mixed in to the plotline, this was pretty much a perfect read for me. Unlike so many books I read, I really couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put this one down. In fact, I think it may be one of my top five favourite books of the year! Nora Roberts is a phenomenal storyteller, no matter whether you like romances or not. And her skills as a mystery/suspense writer are right up there with the best. Romance, suspense and dogsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find one flaw or a perfect trifecta of subjects. misstep in the entire story.

Sasquatch makes rounds in Richmond On Saturday, Oct. 23, wild things come alive at Richmond Nature Park. Come for a lively interpretation of popular Halloween stories. Like the myth of newts that breed in ďŹ re, many of these stories began as early attempts to explain some of natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mysteries. Along the boardwalk trail costumed interpreters will emerge from the woods to share the tales of wildlife while hundreds of Jack-o-lanterns cast a mysterious glow through the forest. Meet a troll, an owl, raccoons and other wild things along the way. Face-painting, pumpkin-carving, magic, music and munchies round out the evening. The event runs from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Admission is free, though a small fee will be charged for some activities. The Richmond Nature Park is located at 11851 Westminster Hwy, at No. 5 Road. Wild Things is suitable for all ages, but children must be accompanied by an adult. Flashlights are optional. For more information, call 604-718-6188 or visit www.richmondnatureparksociety.ca.

The annual 900-kilometre Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast bicycle ride has wrapped up, and the Canadian Cancer Society announced Tuesday that the nine-day tour raised over $367,000 for pediatric cancer research and treatment. The 22 riders were assembled from Metro Vancouver police and ďŹ rst-responder detachments, and included Const. Dave Buerk of the Richmond RCMP. Covering roughly 100 kilometres per

day and collecting pledges all along the way, the mix of seasoned cyclists and ďŹ rst-time tourers wound their way from Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s R.A. McMath Secondary School to Horseshoe Bay, the Sunshine Coast, Powell River, Squamish, Whistler and then back down to North Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond and Vancouver. Cancer society spokeswoman Kathryn Britten said in a release Tuesday that the money raised will fund childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancer research and provide free transportation to and from cancer treatment centres and the internationally acclaimed Camp Goodtimes in Maple Ridge.

TransLink seeks name for new smart card Sorry Vancouver, Seattle already has ‘Orca’ by Jeff Nagel Black Press London has the Oyster card. Hong Kong uses the Octopus. And Seattle has an Orca smart card. Now it’s Metro Vancouver’s turn to put a name on its transit payment technology of the future. TransLink has launched a contest to name its new smart card, expected to roll out in 2013 and eventually replace all existing passes and tickets, as well as wipe out the existing fare zone boundaries. “It’s going to be the way to get around the region,” spokesman Ken Hardie said. “Somebody who selects the right name is going to make their mark in transportation history in the region—it’s going to have huge proﬁle.” He expects there will be no shortage of suggestions. “We could name it after a local icon, something from the ocean or we could do something quite unusual.” The winner gets an Apple iPad and in 2013 will receive a new

Along with the new smart card system, TransLink will add faregates to all SkyTrain stations in a bid to reduce fare evasion and give passengers an improved sense of security.

Bhullar is best Richmond wrestler wins men’s 120-kg weight class at Commonwealth Games by Don Fennell Sports Editor In wrestling-mad India, Canadian Arjan Bhullar is king. Immediately upon pinning India’s own Joginder Kumar to win the gold medal in the men’s 120-kilogram class Sunday at the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, the 24-year-old from Richmond became a celebrity. Everywhere he went he was treated like royalty. Adoring children lined up to get his autograph while admiring adults—including customs agents—clamored to get their photo taken with him. For Bhullar it was akin to being able, for a moment at least, to play for the Vancouver Canucks.

“In my mind I was going to go out there and get my hands on him right away. I was going to show I meant business and was here to win. I could tell he was rattled after the ﬁrst round.” - Arjan Bhullar “It was an incredible experience, probably one of the best moments of my life,” he told The Richmond Review. “It was like a Canuck game. The place was rocking and I had goosebumps.”

Bhullar plans to savour the moment for the next few weeks, and then get back to training with the 2012 London Olympics clearly in his sight. The entire Commonwealth Games experience was monumental for Bhullar, who fed off the support of an extended family that included his parents, cousins and uncles. He insists he would not have even made it to New Dehli without them. “The support was incredible,” said Bhullar, whose dad, Avtar, enjoyed a successful amateur career in both Canada and India. “I (thought) the right attitude for this tournament was to hold nothing back,” he said. “I expected a dogfight.” Following the draw at which point it was determined he and Kumar were on opposite sides, he also correctly anticipated the two would meet in the final. Kumar had previously defeated Bhullar in a match in Vancouver last year. But despite the loss, Bhullar felt he learned a lot and anxiously awaited the opportunity for a rematch. “There were a couple of things I had to work on and did that in practice over and over again,” he said. “And going there (to wrestle on Kumar’s turf ) motivated me to perform at my highest level. He’s a very good competitor who brought out the best in me.” Bhullar tuned up for the gold-medal match by defeating Hugues Thiery Onamewa of Cameroon in the quarter-finals and

Richmond’s Arjan Bhullar celebrated a gold-medal victory Sunday at the Commonwealth Games in New Dehli, India. He won the men’s 120-kg weight class by pinning India’s Joginder Kumar in the title match.

then Nick Lane of New Zealand in the semifinals. In the title match, Bhullar (wearing the blue singlet) showed his strength early against Kumar (in the red singlet) but failed

to earn any points in the opening round. However, the draw gave Bhullar the advantage for the second round which he used to push Kumar off the mat. He was then able to pin Kumar for the victory.

“In my mind I was going to go out there and get my hands on him right away,” Bhullar said. “I was going to show I meant business and was here to win. I could tell he was rattled after the ﬁrst

round.” The ﬁrst thing Bhullar did after his hand was raised in victory was to point to his family in the stands and grab the Canadian ﬂag. “I wanted everyone to

know I was Canadian,” he said. “When we landed I heard their wrestling coach had guaranteed a sweep. I used that as motivation too. This is Canada’s medal.”

Sockeyes ﬁnd their way back against Ice Hawks by Don Fennell Sports Editor Richmond Sockeyes netted an improbable, but important two points last week. Down 4-1 going into the third period, the Sockeyes outscored the visiting Delta Ice Hawks 3-0 and then scored twice in the shootout (Stephen Saretsky and Rudi Thorstein-

son) to squeeze out a 5-4 Pacific International Junior Hockey League victory. The win improved the Sockeyes’ season record to 7-2-1—three points back of the ﬁrst-place Ice Hawks (8-2-2) but also only a point up on third-place North Delta Devils (7-4-0) and two better than fourth-place Grandview Steelers (6-4-1) in the Tom Shaw Conference.

Richmond, which hosts the Aldergrove Kodiaks (4-5-0) tonight (Thursday) at 7:30 p.m. at Minoru Arena, traditionally enjoys strong starts on home ice. But they were down 1-0 early against Delta with Taylor Kislanko beating starting Sockeye goalie Devin Nijjer just 3:53 into the game. Delta made it 3-0 early in the second period as Alex Martin scored

on the powerplay at 2:46 and Cody Fidgett at 5:56. At that point, Nijjer was replaced by Aaron Oakley who made 12 saves on 13 shots over the next 39 minutes. A quick release from high in the slot by energetic Brayden Low found its way behind Delta goalie Douglas Birks at 12:35 of the second period and seemed to ignite

the Sockeyes. But the Hawks got that one back when Martin scored his second goal at 17:25, again on the powerplay. But it was all Sockeyes in the third period. Rudi Thorsteinson scored at 4:01, Jake Roder at 13:31 and Clayton Wright (with Richmond on the manadvantage) at 17:41 to send the game into overtime.

FOR

Playing in the U12 Silver 1 Division, they had four preliminary games to get enough points to win a berth in the championship game. With two wins against a loss they earned the right to battle the Surrey Fusion (three wins, no losses) Sunday. Each team showed its skill at ball movement and hard tackles. Early in the game, the Fusion would test the Predators with a breakthrough shot, but keeper Amar Hamzagic remained solid in net. The Predators came back with some deft midﬁeld play to pressure the Fusion’s defence, allowing Jonathan Linde to slip through and score the ﬁrst goal of the game. However, with minutes left in the half the Fusion would take advantage of a loose rebound and tie the game. The second half would see both teams working hard to maintain pos-

session, each getting its chance to secure the lead. However, both keepers stayed solid and the score remained tied. Late in the game, the Predators would pour on the pressure, but it was Noah Xiao who slipped his check and buried the go-ahead goal behind a diving Fusion keeper. The Fusion would come back in force, but the Predator defence turned them away to carry the team to victory. The Predators are: Liam Bennett, Andrew Dowle, Amar Hamzagic, Talvinder Jagde, Marko Jovic, Saul Kalvari, Jonathan Linde, Jordan Moffat, Murad Mohammed, Noah Or, Gurjot Saran, Nathan Schroeder and Noah Xiao. The team is coahed by Dusko Jovic, Terry Dowle, Bradford Kirkland and managed by Dana Tye Rally. The Predators play in the 4-District division under the RYSA.

2 Day Fall Liquidation Sale

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved wife, mother, sister, Tante and dear friend Ruth Zader (Mama) October 7, 2010. The Lord came calling, embraced her and carried her home. She is survived by her husband Gerhard Zader, daughter Raven Moerhea, son Aaron Zader (Kara) and brothers Arthur Dreger, and Alois Dreger. She was predeceased by sisters Frieda Sonntag, Anna Hennig and brother Adolf Dreger. Ruth was born in Zezulin, Poland November 12, 1933 to Adolph and Lydia Dreger. She was the youngest of eight children. Ruth met her husband Gerhard at Immanuel Baptist Church in Vancouver and at the age of twenty-three; they married on November 9, 1956. Ruth’s greatest joy in life was spending time with her family and friends. Mama had a special gift in the garden, everything she touched, thrived. Many family and friends received her infamous “Hausschuhe” (slippers) to warm their feet. In the last years, Ruth found joy in travelling to Alaska, Mexico and Hawaii on cruises with her husband, family and dearest friends. Mama will be remembered with love and greatly missed. The Graveside service will be held at Mountain View Cemetery on Friday October 15 at 11:00 am. The Memorial service will follow at Bethany Baptist Church, Westminster Highway, Richmond at 1:00 pm. Condolences and tributes may be sent to Bethany Baptist Church. Wir sehen dich im Garten Schatzi

“JADE” NEEDS A GOOD HOME WITH YOU

“Jade” ID #201970 SF, adult, DMH

Jade is sort of a sad little cat at the moment. As she is unsure of herself & new surroundings, she tends to hang out in her bed. This pretty cat is very affectionate when you get close to her, but is not too sure about some other cats. She requires a quiet & kind home, & someone to groom her gorgeous white fur & give her the love she deserves. Please give our lonely princess her happy ending.

> Brighton Beach Memoirs Opening Night at Gateway Theatre

A cake—with his face on top—marks actor’s debut

Around Town Amanda Oye Geraldo Collins and Emmett Gallagher.

Director Natasha Nadir and actor Dylan Kruger, who played the lead, Eugene.

he lobby of Gateway Theatre was buzzing with excitement last Friday night as season ticket holders, friends, family and theatrelovers alike waited for Brighton Beach Memoirs to start.

A full house of 350 people attended the show’s opening night, and witnessed leadactor Dylan Kruger’s Gateway stage debut. A reception was held after the show with food, donated by the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel,

and a cake featuring a picture of Kruger’s face, donated by Anna’s Cake House. Director Natasha Nadir was satisﬁed with how the evening turned out. “I’m excited for the rest of the shows … I really had a lot of fun,” she said. Kruger was happy with the show’s opening night as well. “No one forgot their lines, it was funny—everyone laughed,” he said. “It’s a great cast, and a great audience. Two and a half weeks to go. Onwards and upwards.” The highlight of Kruger’s night was having his face on the cake. “I can’t say I’ve ever had my face on a cake before,” he said. Brighton Beach Memoirs will be playing at Gateway Theatre until Oct. 23rd.
