City in talks to buy art

Harvesting a strike

Biennale pieces to be auctioned off; city gets first dibs

by Christine Lyon Staff Reporter

I want to believe in Bieber.

But by the time I get the assignment on Monday morning— “Find Justin Bieber, but don’t leave Richmond”— his trail has long since run cold.

So following up on reported sightings of the popstar will take a bit of forethought, I concede.

Best to start where the scent is still strongest, at Elmbridge Way’s Planet Lazer, where, with a real or imagined slap-heard-round-the-world, the 16-year-old Bieber either did or did not defend himself against a gaggle of his 12-year-old critics, depending who you ask.

When spring comes, will Richmond say goodbye forever to the familiar Wind Waves at Garry Point, Doors of Knowledge in Minoru Park and the towering Water #10?

What about the controversial Miss Mao Trying to Poise Herself at the Top of Lenin’s Head and other sculptures installed throughout the city as part of the 2009-2011 Vancouver Biennale?

It’s too soon to say just yet.

The Biennale public artworks are scheduled to be auctioned off in the spring, but before that happens, Richmond will have a chance to buy them.

“We are currently in discussion with the City of Richmond about keeping two of the sculptures in the city,” said a spokesperson from the Vancouver Biennale by e-mail.

She did not say which pieces were up for discussion.

Richmond would not purchase the pieces via auction, rather the transaction would occur through city council and staff discussion with the Biennale and artists.

The prices are determined by the value the artist and Biennale have agreed on, including the insurance value.

Testing of new accessible pedestrian signal features Please give us your feedback The City is now testing enhanced Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) features at six locations in the City Centre (four intersections and two special crosswalks) that include spoken messages that sound when a pedestrian pushes the walk button.

The first message provides wayfinding information by identifying the street names at that location.

A second “caution’” message will play only at the two special crosswalks (with overhead flashing amber lights) after the wayfinding message. Two alternative messages are being tested:

City Opera Vancouver You are invited to hear classic opera music performed in the intimate and historic Minoru Chapel.

Date: Wednesday, November 3 Time: 7:30 p.m.

Location: Minoru Chapel, 6540 Gilbert Road City Opera Vancouver will offer arias and duets from La Bohème (Puccini), Madame Butterfly (Puccini), Tosca (Puccini), The Marriage of Figaro (Mozart) and Carmen (Bizet).

In addition, they will present an opportunity for the audience to sing along to a famous chorus or two.

Tickets are available at the door.

Cash only. Doors open at 7:00 p.m.

Admission is $20 adults, $18 students/seniors, and $15 for groups of 10 or more.

Seating is limited and reservations can be made at operanights@ richmond.ca or 604-276-4304.

The final Minoru Chapel Opera Nights event will feature Burnaby

• Short version: “Amber lights flashing. Use caution.”

• Long version: “Amber lights flashing. Use caution. Vehicles may not stop immediately.”

The number of times the caution message is repeated (once versus twice) is also being tested.

The new APS devices are located at the following sites: • Intersections: No. 3 Road at Westminster Highway, Saba Road, Richmond-Brighouse Station and Cook Road • Special crosswalks: No. 3 Road at Anderson Road and 6,900-block Minoru Boulevard (at Brighouse Library) The next time you use one of these crossings, please note the features and tell us what you think. Do you prefer the short or long caution message? How many times should the message repeat? Contact the City’s Traffic Signals section at 604-276-4616 or trafsig@richmond.ca to provide your feedback.

Bieber’s trail heats up in Steveston before growing cold From Page 1

It’s 10:38 a.m.—one day before Bieber’s Tuesday concert at Rogers Arena—outside 7391 Elmbridge Way where a hand-written sign over Planet Lazer’s more permanent “Open Everyday at 10:30 a.m” sign reads: “No Media Allowed On Premises!”

Tucking my notepad into my back pocket, I pull on the door handle— locked.

Ontario celebrity blogger Zack Taylor is credited with breaking the Bieber laser-tag story Friday, and, in his Bieber blog quoted around the world, he names a “J. Badali” as the father of the boy that Bieber allegedly swatted.

The only listed J. Badali in the Richmond area is Delta retiree Jim Badali, who answers his phone in a friendly tone on the very first ring.

“I’ve had calls from California, New York, Ontario—about 15 calls,” Badali says. “I just got off the phone with Good Morning America.”

Bloodsuckers all, Badali and I agree.

Not like the local press.

“It all started with that Ontario guy, Zack Taylor. He called and I thought he was a friend of mine and he said, ‘Are you at Planet Lazer,’ and [jokingly] I said ‘Yeah.’”

Badali said he cleared up the confusion with Taylor when the blogger called him back Monday morning.

“I’m 72 years old, my son is 51, I was not at Planet Lazer. I set him straight this morning.”

Determined to keep striking while the iron’s still hot, I head for Steveston where rumours of Bieber’s likeness popping up at a Starbuck’s here and a schoolyard there have swirled all weekend.

On the way down to Steveston, pondering the Bieber bob—Justin’s smooth, impossibly round, almost gourd-like hairdo—I pass row upon row of impossibly round and perfectly gourd-like pumpkins at the Village Garden pumpkin patch before something beckons me to pull a U-turn across No. 2 Road and have a closer look around the farm.

“You’re not TMZ are you?” Village

Todd Coyne photo Reporter Todd Coyne carved his Richmond-grown pumpkin in the likeness of Bieber—bob and all.

Garden owner Rick Gibala asks when I explain why I’ve come, skeptically picking up and turning over only his roundest, cutest offerings.

“No, sir. But if you see anything out of the ordinary, here’s my card.”

I tell him that Planet Lazer is still closed following the incident. He says it’s a real shame, that he took his kids there, and he makes reference to “popping” Bieber on the nose.

As I leave the farm with a modest but wonderfully round orange pumpkin in my passenger seat and $5 fewer in my wallet, I consider asking some of the youngsters just arriving to fieldtrip through Gibala’s pumpkin patch if they know where I might find Justin Bieber’s ghost. But I soon think

better of shouting at school children from a moving van and carry on for Steveston.

I arrive to find it a ghost town— perfect, you might think, for ghosthunting.

Not so.

The Candy Aisle: Closed.

The Beatmerchant music shop: Closed. I spot Elvis, the Beatles and a Beach Boy through the window, but no Bieber.

“There’s been lots of talk about him,” says the young woman behind the counter at Timothy’s Cafe on the Steveston Wharf.

While she pours coffee into a Styrofoam cup, I notice a large Loch Ness Monster perched over the cafe’s door.

An omen to be sure, though an ambiguous one.

“Lot’s of talk but I haven’t seen him,” she stressed.

On my way out, I pause squinting up at the statue of the great, elusive amphibian, only then realizing that it’s actually just a blue heron or some similarly non-mythical bird.

“I’m looking for the ghost of Justin Bieber,” I tell Ashley Hoyem at Splash Toy Shop.

Sweetly, patiently, she points me to the spot where Splash displays their Silly Bandz silicone bracelets, and where Bieber’s own line of the arm and ankle accessories are due to arrive any day.

She tells me that her boss saw Bie-

ber over the weekend cruising Steveston in a conspicuous silver car.

Her coworker, Robyn Germain, joins us from the back of the store.

I tell them that Planet Lazer Tag remains closed, and they at first seem disappointed but then agree that all publicity is good publicity for a place like Richmond.

They tell me that their store was once used to film part of a movie which starred fellow teen heartthrob Zac Efron.

“We still get little girls who’ll come in to touch the counters, touch the walls, because Zac was here,” Germain said.

“Even some moms too.”

Leaving Steveston, all’s quiet at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery—too quiet even for a ghost.

The sprawling International Buddhist Temple on Steveston Highway would surely be the place for Bieber to set his karma straight following any alleged laser tag smack.

There, doe-eyed plastic deer, perfectly coiffed shrubbery and the flaxen dome of Buddha’s belly play tricks on my eyes like the Loch Ness before becoming everyday herons.

Reading Justin Bieber’s Twitter page, I know to periodically check Boston Pizzas whenever I pass them by.

Josh, a server at the Ackroyd Road location tells me Justin’s latest Boston Pizza-related tweet was not sent from there but from Whistler.

I consider telling him about Planet Lazer, but decide to check it out for myself one more time.

Still closed. Still no media allowed on premises.

Defeated, I pull into the Domo gas station before heading back to the office. Handing the attendant $20, I ask him who Justin Bieber is. He shrugs.

I ask him if he saw any conspicuous silver cars. I tell him that Planet Lazer is still closed.

He pretends not to hear.

Pulling out, I ask my pumpkin things I’d like to ask the 16-year-old popstar, and, admiring the symmetry of its orange crown, decide to carve it up as soon as I get home.

Lafarge pleads guilty after cement dust rains on marina

by Todd Coyne Contributor Lafarge Canada has pleaded guilty to a single bylaw infraction almost three years after the company’s East Richmond cement plant erupted, raining a plume of cement pellets and dust onto a residential marina below.

But Shelter Island resident and key witness against Lafarge, Roger Chin, said Tuesday that while he’s happy with the court’s findings against the cement maker, for him, it amounts to too little too late.

“I actually moved my boat up-river [after the spill],” Chin said. “It’s a worse dock, it’s shallower, the power’s not as good. But I’m trading one hazard for another.”

Apparently the result of an overfilled

cement silo, the Feb. 17, 2007 discharge from Lafarge’s factory at the bottom of No. 9 Road was enough to cover over a hundred boats in the nearby Shelter Island Marina with damaging cement dust.

Initial complaints from marina residents about the incident provoked Metro Vancouver to charge the cement manufacturer with seven municipal and provincial bylaw infractions relating to air pollution and the company’s failure to report the incident to authorities.

With Lafarge’s guilty plea Friday of an air quality bylaw offence, Metro has dropped all six other charges.

Chin, who has lived on the river since 1993, said his live-aboard sailboat sustained approximately $20,000 worth of damage in corroded paint and scratched glass from falling debris in

the 2007 Lafarge spill.

His insurance, he said, will only cover half the damages.

Chin caught the nighttime spill on video as he had just previously installed a surveillance camera aboard his boat to deter vandals.

But following the 2007 Lafarge accident, Chin said he kept his camera trained on the cement plant, catching several similar unreported emissions out over the river from the factory.

Those videos were shown as part of his testimony in the Lafarge case in Richmond provincial court.

“I just wish they had owned up to it right away and said, ‘Sorry we had this accident,’ and just owned up to all the damages, the cleanup and that kind of thing,” Chin said.

Metro Vancouver spokesman Bill Morrell declined to comment on the case until after Lafarge’s sentencing on Nov. 18 is complete.

Pieces are expensive From Page 1

At Monday’s general purposes committee meeting councillors briefly discussed the feasibility of acquiring one or more of the artworks featured in Richmond.

Jane Fernyhough, director of arts, culture and heritage services, said staff are investigating the matter and will bring a report to council soon.

“There might not be an appetite around this table because the pieces are expensive,” said Coun. Evelina HalseyBrandt. “But there’s always room for negotiation but we need to know how to approach it.”

Christie’s auction house is set to sell the artworks at the end of the festival.

Lean-running district awarded two buses Board of education chair hopes for return of co-op program

by Todd Coyne

“We really couldn’t do this without the help from the community,” McPhail said of the food program.

Another initiative that the school board would like to see put in place is the return of its apprenticeship and co-op education programs, which McPhail said have all but dropped off the curriculum due to budget constraints.

These “alternative hours” programs, McPhail said, offer valuable real-world education to highschoolers wanting to learn more about work in fields like cooking, mechanics and cosmetics outside of regular school hours.

McPhail said she hopes the revamped co-op and apprenticeship

Contributor The Richmond board of education met Monday to talk class sizes, co-op programs and the purchase of two new school buses at nearly $100,000 apiece.

“We know that with our budget cuts perhaps we’re not able to offer the same service levels to students as before,” said board chairwoman Linda McPhail Tuesday.

It was a theme that seemed to run through much of Monday’s meeting, beginning with a $6,000 donation to the school district’s breakfast program from the Richmond Dream Auction.

JOHN YAP

programs will be in place by the 2011-2012 school year.

Also Monday the board passed a final version of its class size report, which shows that while classes remain large, the board is still within provincial legislation.

The board also heard it’s being awarded $188,500 as part of a provincial capital project to purchase two new school buses—a 72-passenger bus and a 24-passenger bus, McPhail said.

“They have to be new green school buses...cleaner-burning diesel buses,” said McPhail.

The new diesel buses produce 30 to 60 per cent fewer emissions and last longer than other models, added McPhail.

Public input sought for update of official community plan

by Christine Lyon Staff Reporter There are still opportunities for Richmond residents to weigh in on the future of the city.

City staff are continuing to gather feedback for an updated community plan, and the public is encouraged to offer comments at a series of public open houses and online public forums.

Council will be asked to consider and approve an ofďŹ cial community plan update concept in January 2011.

A review of the plan, last updated in 1999, began in May 2009.

Themed “towards a sustainable community,� the updated plan guides development through the year 2041. It examines a wide range of topics geared at helping the city better manage social, environmental and economic changes.

Richmond is expected to grow by 81,000 people by 2041, bringing the population to 272,000 and requiring 40,000 new homes. The population in the city centre is expected to double to 97,000 from 52,000.

Its hard to believe that a handful of concerned citizens in Richmond got together twenty years ago with the intent of forming a Community Foundation.

The Richmond Community Foundation has made great strides over these past 20 years making Richmond a better place to live, work and play.

As the Founding Chair, I would like to pay tribute to all the people of Richmond Board Chair 1990 who have continued to support the dream of the Ralph May ‘Founders Circle’ of dedicated citizens of Richmond who were an integral part of the First Board of Directors in 1990. The ďŹ rst Board included Directors: Jack Bell, Hugo Eppich, Rick Henderson, Kirk Lawrie, Ralph May, Bente Nielsen, Lorraine Palmer and Special Advisor, Joseph Cohen.

3 COURSES FROM $ 26 TransLink vehicle levy could return COME and CREATE your own 3 course meal STARTING from [ ONLY $ 26 ]

Higher property taxes or a vehicle levy?

Those are the choices Metro Vancouver residents will be asked to make when TransLink rolls out a public consultation process on how to close a $400-million gap in Evergreen Line funding.

Friday, the TransLink board added a “transportation improvement fee”—otherwise known as a vehicle levy—to the list of options for raising $39.3 million to build the Evergreen Line and extend United Boulevard from Coquitlam into New Westminster, or $68 million for these improvements and other transportation upgrades.

Until now, property taxes were

the only way to quickly raise funds for the long-awaited rapid transit system but the board opted to include a vehicle levy even though there is no mechanism to collect the fees, which would range between $15 and $55 for the smaller package of transportation improvements and $30 to $90 for the full package. The charge would depend on the vehicle’s engine size.

“Property tax is not a preferred way to pay for transportation,” said TransLink spokesperson Ken Hardie, who said the transportation authority’s board drew that conclusion after hearing from the TransLink mayors’ council this week.

The pubic will now be able to comment on the two funding packages and the options for paying for them

either online or in person. There is a feedback form at translink.ca as well as an online forum where people can post their opinions.

The property tax option, which was first proposed to pay for transportation improvements, was loudly criticized by the region’s mayors.

Meanwhile, the property tax option is still on the table. Hardie said property taxes would have to raise $5 per $100,000 of assessed value (about $31 on a $600,000 home) for the smaller package or $9.20 per $100,000 of assessed value (about $54 on the same home) for the larger package of transportation improvements, which would include restoring funding to bike and road upgrades, and improving bus service.

Notice of Permissive Exemption for the Year 2011 Permissive Exemption Bylaw 8629 Notice is given that the City of Richmond intends to provide exemption from property taxes for a period of one year (2011 taxation year) for the properties listed below.

Oval to host Winterfest

Better Grades Happier Kids Grade 1 - 12

Scale of February 2011 event depends on sponsorship

Correction A recent fundraiser in Richmond, where Christopher Kennedy Lawford spoke, benefited, in part, Richmond Addiction Services Society. A story in the Oct. 14 edition misidentified the society.

“Keeping it at the oval would certainly boost its interest.”

- Anne Stevens The scope and scale of Winterfest will be dictated by available sponsorship.

The staff report said corporate sponsorship bud-

gets are reduced due to the economic downturn, and the city has applied for provincial grants.

“The sponsorship is a difficult thing right now,” said Stevens. “We may have less opportunity,” she said, noting Winterfest will have to compete for sponsors with the Tall Ships Festival in June.

Councillors asked staff to consider the event’s proximity to Chinese New Year, as well as the possibility of using funds from the major events budget, before the proposal goes to council next week for final approval.

GARDEN CITY ROAD

After taking a year off for the 2010 Winter Olympics, the City of Richmond is gearing up to host its annual winter festival at a new and more affordable venue.

On Monday, city council’s general purposes committee approved a staff recommendation that Winterfest take place the weekend of Feb. 12 and 13, 2011 at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

Last month councillors asked staff to investigate the option of holding Winterfest at the oval rather than the traditional city hall area.

The midwinter community event was hosted outside city hall from 2006 to 2008 and was last held in 2009 at the oval as a “one year to the Games” countdown event.

At Monday’s meeting, council also approved $150,000 cash from the council provision fund and up to $90,000 value-in-kind (including equipment, materials and services) to support the event.

The remaining costs would be covered by sponsorship revenue.

According to a staff report, it would cost $305,000 to hold Winterfest at the oval. While the city can use the facility rent-free, it would have to recoup $18,000 in lost revenues from cancelling currently booked programs.

The festival would take place on the main activity floor and the riverfront plaza would be used for the stage, activity zones and food serves.

Opening up the plaza means the oval could accommodate up to 5,000 people at any given time.

“The Winterfest would have a different look and feel yet the same programming concepts could take place,” said the city’s Anne Stevens in her report.

If all goes well, the city would consider using the

facility for future Winterfest events.

“Right now for Winterfest I think keeping it at the oval would certainly boost its interest,” said Stevens.

Hosting Winterfest at the less-favoured alternative, the city hall precinct, would be more costly at an estimated $400,000.

The added expenses are attributed to higher set up and infrastructure costs.

While city hall is closer to transportation and can accommodate larger crowds, the necessity of closing Granville Avenue

opinion Value of public art?

W

hat value can one place on public art?

In the case of Vancouver Biennale artworks that now beautify our city, it’s seven figures.

That’s a tough pill for taxpayers to swallow, but necessary medicine for Richmond to move closer to its apparent goal of becoming an international city.

It’s no secret the city has been mulling the idea of purchasing some of the sculptures temporarily installed in city parks, streets and private land. When Yvonne Domenge’s Olas de Viento (Wind Waves) was erected at Garry Point Park, it seemed that buying it, once the Biennale ends in 2011, was a no-brainer.

It is, after all, already here. It’s aesthetically-pleasing and hasn’t elicited the controversy that dogs some other pieces of public art. It’s colourful and politically safe.

Now we learn the city is in talks with Vancouver Biennale staff to potentially purchase two pieces of art. And we’re about to learn how expensive art can be.

Some of these pieces, created by foreign artists, will easily command over $1 million each. Materials, artist’s time and profile, transportation costs, paperwork and the appeal of the finished product have all pushed the value of these pieces skyward.

No doubt retaining some of these incredible works will only make Richmond a stronger international city—one that’s noted for its commitment to culture.

The challenge lies with elected officials, who must decide which pieces to buy.

Coming at a big cost, it’s not a decision that can be taken lightly, but it’s also one that can’t be made to simply be politically correct. Will city council discount the Gao Brothers’ Miss Mao Trying to Poise Herself at the Top of Lenin’s Head simply because of potential political fallout?

That would be a shame, given the artwork has become a symbol of the healthy dialogue public art can create.

Choosing to preserve Biennale art in Richmond is an easy choice to make. Given their cost, choosing which pieces will make the cut is a far more challenging decision.

Let’s hope our decision-makers can look past what’s politically popular to consider cost, legacy and tourism. As artist Blake Williams once told the Review, people don’t visit Europe just for the baguettes.

riving along a major suburban thoroughfare on a recent sunny afternoon, I couldn’t help but notice a woman casually relieving herself on the grass between the sidewalk and the street.

The highly visible location seemed deliberately chosen, perhaps as a street person’s farewell to another golden summer in B.C.’s most peed-upon city.

This sort of flagrant offence against decency would still have shock value in most B.C. communities, but here in Victoria the likeliest reaction would be, “Hey, you’re on the wrong street.”

The Pandora Avenue squat, as it came to be known, was this summer’s politically correct theatre of the absurd, and as usual it was not rated for family viewing. A filthy

little tent city sprang up on a broad downtown boulevard across from one of the local homeless handout services, migrating in from local parks.

Public peeing was among the milder problems on Pandora. This was well illustrated by its sudden end in September.

Victoria News reported that a core group of drug dealers were picked up in an undercover police buyand-bust operation at the Pandora squat. Overnight the tent city vanished.

A combination of cooler weather and the closure of the crack-and-meth bazaar seems to have done the trick, as campers suddenly came to appreciate the vacant shelter beds up the street.

B.C.’s urban southwest offers a glimpse of the future for other communities around the province in the abandonment of community standards. And nobody surrenders quite like Victoria.

This is a town that wilts like lettuce before an invasion of feral bunny rabbits.

It’s a town that celebrates an urban design award for its downtown urinal, an expensive but oh-soartistic response to the monsoon of doorway peeing that pours down after the bars close.

The city’s response to

The Pandora Avenue squat, as it came to be known, was this summer’s politically correct theatre of the absurd, and as usual it was not rated for family viewing. a court ruling limiting its ban on camping in parks was timid even by Victoria standards. Hounded by the “homeless” and their “advocates” at every step, city council finally passed a bylaw declaring campsites on boulevards to be banned as a traffic hazard.

By the time they got it done, the summer squat had folded. Along the way it was revealed that at least some of the campers weren’t homeless, having had “social” housing provided to them, and that shelter beds had also been sitting empty.

The shelter beds are significant from a legal as well as a common-sense point of view. The court ruling had said the city couldn’t prevent people from putting up tents, but only if there were no shelter beds available. But apparently verifying homelessness would have been

too harsh.

A few weeks ago on a ferry crossing, I overheard a couple of fragrant young fellows, fresh from a few weeks picking fruit in the Okanagan and looking for a comfortable place to ride out the winter. Victoria here they come. This has been going on for generations, and it apparently remains a path of choice for winter refugees all the way from Quebec.

Housing and Social Development Minister Rich Coleman was on Sean Leslie’s CKNW radio program the other day, talking up B.C.’s efforts to get people off the street.

He did allow that the southwestern corner of the province does have a couple of different factors to consider.

“The big one is probably weather, so we do get some in-migration at times of the year because the weather is different in other areas of Canada,” Coleman said, demonstrating his mastery of understatement.

Warm weather and weak local government are a bad combination.

letters Bylaw ruins doggy song Editor: Re: “Retail puppies banned,” Oct. 14.

Now that Richmond has banned the retail sale of dogs, I have a major problem.

“How Much Is That Doggy In The Window?” is my signature song when—with accordian—this old goat sings at seniors’ homes.

Letters to the editor

Flu season stops here.

Prevent the flu this year. Book a flu shot with your Save-On-Foods pharmacist.

I support Richmond city council’s proposed ban on puppy sales, not because I know anything about puppy mills but because I know a lot about no-longerwanted dogs dropped off at the Richmond and Delta Animal Shelters.

These unwanted dogs, plus others that are badly trained, cost Richmond taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.

Many of these dogs were spontaneous purchases from pet stores by people who are later unable to meet the needs of their puppies or take the time to properly care for and train dogs.

Responsible breeders ask lots of questions of prospective puppy buyers to weed out those who won’t be able to be successful and they usually have some sort of (at least partial) money-back guarantee if the puppy doesn’t work out.

If the local pet stores that are protesting the ban on puppy sales were to offer moneyback guarantees on all puppy purchases, then I would be less supportive of the puppy sale ban.

I don’t own a dog but my daughter does, in Edmonton, where I have seen successful pet stores that do not sell puppies but do offer puppy and dog training in their stores. Many dog owners I see each day certainly need such training; maybe that is a business model local pet store owners should pursue.

Big changes in new plan Editor: On Saturday I attended an open house on the proposed ofďŹ cial community plan update. I have a number of major concerns on the process the city planners are following.

Richmond is deďŹ ned by neighbourhoods and this has always been the basis for planning.

Yet the current approach, forward planning to 2041, is seeking to impose major changes throughout Richmond without proper neighbourhood focus or consultations. For example, the proposal seeks to change Seafair from single-family dwellings to an area of duplexes, triplexes, coach houses and granny suites.

For neighbourhoods like Seafair, such changes would have a colossal impact. Today, we see lots of greenery, single-family dwellings, young kids playing happily on quiet streets.

Five years from now, there could be a duplex on either side, ďŹ ve coach-houses all with cars, and eight granny suites with single persons and cars.

I urge the city to slow down what they are doing. Target each neighbourhood with neighbourhood presentations showing the proposed changes and likely impacts.

Engage the people that you are elected to represent.

letters Editor: As part of the new ofďŹ cial community plan, the City of Richmond has a new plan for the older subdivisions: to convert the zoning from single family (with basement suite) to add coach houses and/or duplexes, essentially turning every property into a three-household lot.

R.A. McMath grads Kyle Owens, Jeremy Hankin, Mischa Lowenstein, Jameson Hankin, and Jeek McIntyre are the Chase.

Chasing the dream McMath grads emerge from Steveston living room to release debut album

by Christine Lyon Staff Reporter

A

group of Steveston musicians are taking a noregrets approach to life as they dive headfirst into the enticing but unforgiving music industry.

The five twenty-somethings have been jamming together for years, but recently re-energized, put all laziness aside, and released their debut self-titled extended playlist The Chase this month.

“I think we just kind of realized that we do have talent and if we didn’t give it a serious run that we would be wasting something,” says vocalist and lead tambourine player Kyle Owens.

Owens, along with Mischa Lowenstein (rhythm guitar), Jeek McIntyre (bass), and twin brothers Jeremy Hankin (lead guitar) and Jameson Hankin (drums) make up the fivesome.

The twins and McIntrye formed a congenial musical trio in Grade 9 guitar class at R.A. McMath Secondary School, and Owens, who first met the Hankins at Lord Byng Elementary School, joined them as lead singer in 2006, three years after graduating high school.

The Chase are now making an effort to take their “loud, potent rock ‘n’ roll” out of Steveston and into the spotlight, officially releasing their five-track EP Oct. 8 at the Shark Club in downtown Vancouver.

“The CD release was awesome, the whole place was completely

packed,” says Owens, who works on the ramp at the Vancouver International Airport.

He describes the band’s sound as “basically just rock ‘n’ roll—plain and simple,” with some pop influence to appeal to a wider audience. Louder, edgier tracks “Plastic Man” and “You are a Stoner” are complemented by the catchy anthems “No Shame,” “Danielle!” and “Vibrant Twenty-two.”

“If you want to get proper radio play, you do need to have those kinds of songs,” Owens explains.

The bandmates all have different musical influences, Owens’ top three being the Beatles, fellow brothers band Oasis, and British alt-rockers Kasabian.

He says the Chase have grown immeasurably since taking root in McMath’s music room, and even since they started playing live gigs three years ago.

“When we look back at videos from then now, it’s almost appalling. I don’t like doing it,” Owens says.

He wore sunglasses during their first club show, not because he is a prima donna as the audience assumed, but because he was

nervous.

He doesn’t need the shades anymore.

“We have the same name, we’re the same members, core-wise, but we’re such a different band than we were then,” he says. “Every show seems like it was better than the last one.”

The Chase recruited second guitarist and more-recent McMath grad Lowenstein last year.

“It’s improved the sound for sure, because we can do so many more things as opposed to just having one guitar player and a bass player,” Owens says.

The band found their own jam space in Vancouver after the Hankins’ parents finally kicked them out of their Steveston living room. The 7 p.m. practices provided more than ambient dinner music for the family— and neighbours—and the family space “didn’t look like much of a living room when we were in there,” Owens laughs.

Being close friends is a blessing and a curse for the Chase.

“We know each other so well that it definitely helps sometimes, but sometimes we can have some blow ups,” says Owens.

And for the twins, it is especially easy for tempers to flare.

“Every once in a while it’s a little easier to get in arguments,” says Jeremy, a science student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and dairy department manager at the Terra Nova Save-On-Foods.

But he adds that Jameson understands him like no one else.

“It’s nice to have at least one person in your band that knows exactly what you’re talking about all the time,” he says.

Jeremy writes the bulk of the music and lyrics, inspired by relationships and everyday experiences.

“I find it very hard to make things up, but I find that life is interesting enough that you don’t really need to most of the time,” he says.

All it takes is a few words, or perhaps a guitar chord, to spark a brand new song.

“Usually when I write a song it’s because I really need to.”

The band has created a unique brand of retro rock, largely influenced by the ’50s and ’60s music they learned to play as teens.

As one of the founding bandmates, Jeremy agrees that the still-relatively-young group has come a long way.

“We have a recording of ourselves in Grade 9 and it’s just the worst music in the world. I have no idea how we thought it was good enough to try and record it,” Jeremy says.

The band has “smartened up,” he explains, now producing poprock music that people want to listen to, “rather than just really loud music that people want to get drunk to.”

‘T

his is one of my secret weapons,” says Caren McSherry.

“To enlist the premade by the dozens – a rub, a tapenade, a raspberry chipotle sauce, an onion jam, a beautiful lemon curd.”

Caren, owner of Gourmet Warehouse and founder of the longestrunning private cooking school in Canada, brings bold, bright flavours to her favourite dishes by using great products she finds in

her kitchen.

“These shortcuts do not minimize in any way your abilities as a cook,” she says. “They do, however, maximize your time, relieve pressure, and allow you the joy to entertain with ease.”

Caren trained at the prestigious Cordon Bleu in London, England, The Oriental Hotel in Bangkok, and The Culinary Institute of America in New York. Known for her big dishes and big personality, Caren can astonish her friends and family with sophisticated dishes without breaking a sweat. She doesn’t have time for three days of preparation and even less time to clean up.

She’s sharing her quick and easy meals in her new book In a Pinch (published by Whitecap Books). This is a keeper for the upcoming holiday season. What I

Wasabi and PankoCrusted Halibut 1 1/2 lb fresh halibut 1/2 cup wasabi mayonnaise 1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) 1 tbsp grapeseed (or peanut) oil for frying Cut the fish into four equal serving pieces.

Thinly spread the mayo on both sides of the fish. Dip into the panko crumbs, pressing them to adhere. Set fish aside.

Heat oil in a non-stick ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Fry the fish on both sides until crispy, then transfer to a preheated 400F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until fish is cooked through. love about this book are her tips (You can find fig and ginger jam in most gourmet shops, but cherry jam from your local supermarket is a great substitute), explanations (Yuzu vinegar is a Japanese vinegar with overtones of lime, tangerine, and pine), and full-page photos for almost every recipe.

What I didn’t like, only because I think it’s one of the simplest things to do, is her tip for substituting the making of guacamole by using a “convenient jar of seasoning to which you just add avocado.”

Gulp. To her credit, this is a tip only as the recipe explains how to make guacamole.

Included is a list of 11 utensils Caren can’t live without (one being a flexible plastic cutting board), and a

list of what to keep as a staple in the pantry (such as canned or dried beans and rubs).

The shortcuts take the stress out of presenting a beautiful and delicious dinner. Rob Feenie says in the foreward, “She cooks from the heart, and anyone who knows her knows this: the most important ingredient in her recipes is love.” Anyone who knows Caren says the same thing. And they say she knows how to throw a party.

“The most important thing is to have a good time,” she says about entertaining. “It’s just food!”

sports Second XV tame Lions

SPORTS EDITOR: Don Fennell Phone: 604 247 3732 E-mail: sports@richmondreview.com

Heads up

The Richmond Rugby Club’s second division offence was in high gear Saturday in a 63-3 victory over the Brit Lions.

But as impressive as the four tries by Jaime Overgaard—supplemented by two from Tim Ross and singles by Matt Carmen, Richard Sison and Ehrich Falkenhager—were, even those numbers take a back seat to the fact it was Richmond’s fifth win of the season, keeping the locals unbeaten in B.C. Rugby Union play.

Richmond dominated the Lions’ weaker forward pack, enabling its backs to both punch the ball through the centres and move the ball wide to the wings.

“One of the things I noticed was the continuity and the ability of both groups to keep the ball alive through off-loading,” said Richmond’s Jon Malchy.

First XV moves to 4-1 on season Last weekend was equally rewarding for Richmond’s first division team as the squad improved to 4-1 on the season while securing a berth into the promotional round for the B league spring season.

But it wasn’t pretty.

Apathy or not against the 1-3 Lions, Richmond was behind early as a result of poor tackling, an inability to see the development of the play, poor positioning, and a number of other problems. The result was a 21-0 Lions lead at halftime.

But a halftime speech by the coach and several substitutions lifted Richmond out of its fog and ultimately to a 22-21 victory, capped by a successful penalty kick.

Malchy attributed the second half turnaround primarly to a stable scrum, superior fitness, improved tackling and a higher level of support than in the opening half.

Richmond’s initial wave of optimism was provided by an early Mike Maguire try in the corner. Brian Williams and Martin Urbanowitz also scored tries, while Ryan Shams kicked two converts as Richmond pulled to within two points with 15 minutes to play.

•Richmond’s first and second teams play this Saturday at Langley, while Richmond U-17s host a Welsh touring team Saturday at 11:30 a.m. at King George Park.

Fencer eyes top-eight finish Igor Gantsevich prepares for world championships in France

by Don Fennell Sports Editor The backdrop for the 2010 World Fencing Championships next month in Paris couldn’t be much more spectacular.

The Grand Palais on the famous ChampsElysees strip will host the world’s elite in what is one of France’s premier sports.

Tickets have been sold out for months and Canada’s team, which includes Richmond’s Igor Gantsevich, could be in the spotlight early.

“It has not been confirmed yet, but my Canadian epee team will most likely go up against the French in the round of 16,” said Gantsevich. “We are really hoping to draw them. They are the reigning five-time world champs but we believe we can beat them.

We beat this same team before the Olympic Games two years ago.”

Despite a nagging wrist injury he suffered during training in Montreal when one of the local fencers ramped into his guard, Gantsevich is aiming for a top-eight result at the worlds. Without full strength and power in his hand he will be challenged against particularly physical fencers, but he’s been working with a physiotherapist daily. Once the adrenalin kicks in, he says he’ll forget about the injury and concentrate on the task at hand.

“This is going to be the biggest worlds in history and it will be an amazing experience,” said Gantsevich, who will be accompanied by his dad, Victor, who was himself an outstanding athlete in Russia and competed in fencing at the national level. He currently

coaches along with Igor at Richmond-based Dynamo Fencing Club.

“It’s comforting to know I will have one of the world’s best tacticians right behind me, screaming and yelling what to do,” he added. “Mentally I have to stay focused and relaxed. Everything else will fall in its place.”

Gantsevich will be going to the worlds on the heels of a promising fifth-place finish (out of 260 competitors) in the open epee category at the North American Cup last weekend in Cincinnati. The result follows a disappointing showing at the Canadian championships a week earlier where his wrist injury severely hampered him.

The Canadian championships were, however, good for Dynamo fencers overall. Richmond’s Shaul Gordon won both the under-17

and under-20 events in men’s sabre, while David Shorey reached the final eight in Cadet epee.

Gantsevich might have finished even higher at the North American Cup had he not lost with a second to go on the clock to a former top-eight world-ranked fencer.

“I actually beat him in the round of 32 in overtime and this time I lost in overtime,” he said. “He was putting a lot of pressure on me in the last 20 seconds and I just lost focus.”

•Dynamo’s Tigran Bajgoric will also be competing at the world championships. Bela Suveg finished third in the Veterans over-40 epee at the North American Cup. The club is hosting a national event in January at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Plans are also afoot to host a Western Canadian competition in May, also at the oval.

Ironically, there may be a simple solution to this age-old dilemma. It can be summed up in one word: attitude.

Gwen McFarlan is a 75-year-old Richmond resident.

But if that’s considered old, well she certainly doesn’t feel or act her age.

McFarlan is a worldclass marathon runner, an inspiration not only in her own age group but to anyone who has ever attempted such a demanding challenge.

She isn’t just good at it, but the best in the world. And to think she didn’t even take up the activity until she was in her 50s.

McFarlan just established another world marathon record by winning the 75-79 age group at a meet in Victoria. Her time of four hours, one minute and 17 seconds was more than 24 minutes better than the previous best in the category.

Last year, McFarlan set the world record at the 70-74 age group in both the half and full marathons.

So the next time someone suggests you can’t do something because you’re too old (or young), think of McFarlan.

The only thing separating you from succeeding may be as simple as your state of mind.

“ALABASTER” NEEDS A GOOD HOME WITH YOU

Alabaster” ID #183501 NM, 11 mos, DSH Handsome Alabaster was very well-loved in his former home; unfortunately his guardian developed an allergy months after adopting him. He is independent, and would prefer to be your one and only cat companion!

He likes to play, and enjoys having lots of visitors. He would be just fine with a busy household. Come and see this awesome snowy-white cat today!

Johns packs punch in World Cup pool Brian Johns showed the heart of a champion last weekend.

After posting on his recently-created blog disappointment with his results at the Commonwealth Games in New Dehli, the Richmond swimmer quickly rebounded with a spectacular individual showing at the third stop on the World Cup short course circuit in Singapore. He won not just one but four medalsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;silvers in the 400-metre individual medley and 200 freestyle and bronze in the 200 butterďŹ&#x201A;y and 200 I.M.

BRIAN JOHNS

The three-time Olym-

pian, who is aiming to represent Canada at a fourth Games in London in 2012, nearly won the 200 freestyle. A strong ďŹ nishing kick over the last two lengths was nearly enough to overtake winner Darian Townsend of Australia who won in one minute, 44.30 seconds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty pleased with my performances here after some disappointments at the Commonwealth Games,â&#x20AC;? said Johns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been hard to have a 14-month season but usually I swim my best when I swim a lot.â&#x20AC;?

> Breast Health Breakfast at the Executive Airport Plaza Hotel

Breakfast gathering hears message of hope

Around Town Amanda Oye

A

message of hope in the fight against breast cancer was given at the eighth annual Breast Health Breakfast held by the Canadian Cancer Society at the Executive Airport Plaza Hotel last Saturday.

A crowd of 60 people sat and listened to educational speeches given

by Dr. Karen Gelmon, an oncologist with the B.C. Cancer Agency, and Cheri Van Patten, a registered dietician and researcher with the B.C. Cancer

Agency.

“We are all at risk,” Dr. Gelmon said.

The biggest myth she sees is when people say that breast cancer isn’t in their genes so they won’t get it, or that it is so they definitely will.

Only about seven per cent of breast cancers are inherited, she said.

The strong message of hope came when Jules Sesia, a breast cancer survivor and motivational speaker, took the microphone and talked about how she dealt with her breast cancer diagnosis and having both of her breasts removed.

“I have a shelf life. I had to deal with my mortality,” she said.

The breakfast was designed to educate people, not to raise money, so any money raised covered event costs.

Mary Scott, Thea Phillips, Vincci Li, Tushna Gustavsp and Sue MacPhail, who all helped organize the breakfast.

fall auto preview Fiesta brings European style to Canada Ford has a ‘surefire hit’ on its hands

by Rob Beintema Contributor

T

his summer, Canada welcomes the 2011 Ford Fiesta, a brand new, small car that brings European panache and performance to North America at a starting price of $12,999.

And it’s about time.

“I can’t count the number of times friends have returned from Europe and bugged me about the great little cars they’ve seen and driven over there,” said Steve Pintar, chief engineer for Fiesta North America.

“And they’d ask me, ‘Why don’t we have them over here?’”

“Well,” he added, nod-

ding at the Fiesta, “we’ve got one now.”

The new 2011 Fiesta is based on Ford’s global “B” platform, shared with the Mazda2, and in Canada is available in four-door sedan or fivedoor hatchback layout.

Up front, Fiesta sports the global Ford face, centering the Blue Oval badge above a signature style inverted trapezoid lower grille opening.

There’s little variance from the European model—the same elongated headlamps frame the hood, bracketed by muscular, sculpted front fenders. A rising beltline and strong character lines sweep back to the rear tail lamps, most dramatically accented on the spoilered five-door hatchback version.

Fiesta’s youthful verve is enhanced by nine

vivid new colours from Bright Magenta to Lime Squeeze and Blue Flame, to name a few.

The Fiesta shares a 60 per cent commonality with its European cousin, but yes, there are subtle differences. The Ford family tri-bar upper grille, added to the North American Fiesta, finds its roots in Fusion’s success while adjusted bumpers, meeting higher impactpoint rules for North America, created an opportunity to accent larger side marker slots with LED strips taken from the Taurus.

Inside, you’ll find more similarities than differences. The interior is boldly sculpted with contrasting colours and accented by Ford’s funky available ambient lighting, an illumination system that sets the

mood with a choice of seven colours.

And the Fiesta is quiet, with the kind of NVHrobbing attention to insulation you’d expect in a more expensive car.

The instrument panel centre stack, a focal point of the Fiesta interior, was designed to feel as familiar as the keypad on your mobile phone, and its Tranformerreminiscent layout will no doubt resonate and raise a giggle from next

Rear seating requires compromise from the front row occupants but, this is a small car, after

all, and it is as comfortable as its size allows.

The first-row buckets and 60/40 split secondrow come in cloth or

leather with front heated surfaces available in both textures.

Under the hood, a 1.6-litre DOHC I-4 engine makes 120 hp at 6,350 rpm and 112 lb/ft of torque at 5,000 rpm.

Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) allowed the engine to be downsized for fuel economy without compromise of throttle response or performance.

Like most small engines, it makes the most of its power through proper gearing, in this case harnessing either a five-speed manual or a new, industryexclusive PowerShift six-speed automatic dual-clutch transmission ($1,250).

Ford boasts an early projected 40 mpg highway average but Transport Canada has returned even more optimistic numbers.

We’ll probably never see Europe’s variety of engines, including the 1.6-litre diesel that rivals the Prius hybrid’s fuel economy numbers, unless fuel prices go through the roof. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ford add an Ecoboost turbo version in a year or two, just to re-spike driver interest.

Even the base five-speed manual sedan comes with seven airbags, halogen headlights, ABS, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), power mirrors, tilt/telescopic steering, tachometer, tire pressure management systems and 4-speaker AM/FM/Aux audio.

Regardless of trim level, the 2011 Ford Fiesta offers Canadians a new and vibrant economy car option with class-leading levels of performance and content, accented with European styling élan. It is aimed squarely at competitors like the Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris and has beaten its domestic rivals out of the gate—the Chevy Spark and Chrysler’s rebadged Fiat 500.

And, best of all for Ford, the 2011 Fiesta is going to be a surefire hit.

REVIEW 2009

MODERN AUTO TECH LTD. 13931 SPARWOOD PLACE RICHMOND, BC V6V 1X2 604-244-8355

Sonata makes a statement From Page B3

With a touch of C-Class at the front and mixture of Lexus/Bimmer at the back, there is a wonderful character line running from the headlight along with door window sill and capped with chrome that makes the kind of “look at me” statement that Hyundai has never made before.

Power is Hyundai’s new gasoline direct injection (GDI) 2.4-litre, twin cam inline four-cylinder engine.

GDI results in more power and less fuel consumption. At 198 hp and 164 lb/ft of torque, which is a lot for 2.4-litres, Hyundai claims it is the most fuelefficient in the segment at 8.7/5.7L/100 km city/ highway for the six-speed manual transmission and 9.4/5.7L/100 km with the six-speed automatic.

Interestingly, the automatic is sealed for life meaning you never have to top it up or change fluid like in the old days.

The base GL comes with the manual or with the optional automatic. The GLS, Limited and Limited with navigation system are all fitted with the automatic.

2011 Hyundai Sonata •Mid-size sedan; front-engine, front-wheel-drive •2.4-litre, DOHC four-cylinder (198 hp) •Fuel economy: six-speed manual, 8.7/5.7L/100 km city/highway; six-speed automatic, 9.4/5.7L/100 km city/highway.

•$22,649 to $30,999 During my test drive, I had the comfort in knowing the 2011 Sonata comes standard with electronic stability control with traction control and anti-lock braking with Brake Assist and Brake Force distribution, and thankfully, six airbags.

During my time at the wheel I noticed the engine sounded gruff at startup but that went away quickly and then became almost silent at speed. I know the engine bay is well noise proofed so it must have been the tires and the slippery shape that paid off in the lack of sound intrusion into the cabin.

Instead of being a bland handler, the Sonata not only points well, but it has a feel more like a European sedan. You sense with the inputs coming through the steering wheel to the fingertips which I really can’t quite remember in previous

Sonatas.

At the press conference, Hyundai was asked why there was no V6 offered like most of the Sonata’s competitors. The answer was, surprisingly, that a turbo version of the four-cylinder is coming later in the year complete with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

What Hyundai has in the 2011 Sonata is an affordable car with the kind of looks and reliability that consumers in the mid-size segment now consider seriously as the sales numbers are already proving.

But I also think it goes beyond that.

It’s the first Hyundai people can aspire to own, not because of the fuel economy or the price, but because they are proud to have a Hyundai in their driveway.

Honda puts fun into hybrid Jim Robinson Contributor

Looking like the sassy sporty car it is, the 2011 Honda CR-Z is also one of the most affordable hybrids on the Canadian market. It is seen as a return to Honda core values of being frugal to operate and fun to drive.

Can you have fun and drive a hybrid?

Honda thinks they have the answer to that in the 2011 CR-Z. For those who go back a bit, the CR-X made from 1983-1991 was one of the most endearing cars Honda ever made. It was a small sporty coupe based on the Civic that had basically two seats with a chopped off tail. It didn’t have a lot of power but the CR-X more than made up for that with nimble handing, frugal operation, affordable pricing and a whole lot of character.

That Honda chose the name CR-Z was not lost on journalists attending the press launch in Toronto although Honda claims it’s just a coincidence. Right.

Nonetheless, the

CR-Z is also a two-seat sporty coupe with a pert, chopped off tail and styling that screams, “this car is a blast.”

And while the old CR-X was great on the gas, the new car goes a big one better; it’s a hybrid.

The CR-Z starts with a 1.5-litre, SOHC fourcylinder gasoline engine based on the unit used in the Fit. By itself, the engine produces 113 hp and 107 lb/ft of torque. It is then hooked up a new, thinner, lighter electric motor which is part of Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) approach to hybrid cars.

Unlike Toyota where the engine augments the battery, Honda uses the lithium-ion rechargeable battery to give the engine an extra shot of acceleration and torque, kind of like an electric supercharger.

The motor gives 13

Honda CR-Z Hybrid 2011 •Compact hybrid sporty car coupe; frontengine, front-wheel-drive •1.5-litre SOHC engine/electric motor (combined, 122 hp, 128 lb/ft).

•Fuel economy: six-speed manual, 6.5/5.3/6.0L/100 km city/highway/combined; CVT, 5.6/5.0/5.3L/100 km city/highway/combined •$23,490 to $24,290 more horsepower, but more importantly, 58 lb/ ft of torque. When they are combined the CR-V gives a rated 122 hp and 128 lb/ft of torque. You may notice that 107 and 58 lb/ft of torque don’t add up to 128 lb/ft. That’s because the two power plants make peak torque at quite different RPMs. The 128 lb/ft therefore is a rating of what torque is produced in real world conditions.

When it comes to the fun part, there are actually several ways to do it.

To the left of the instrument panel are three buttons marked Sport, Normal and Econ.

Normal is the standard setting. Econ optimizes the system so IMA uses less power for better fuel consumption along with cutting back the power draw of the air conditioning. Power gives IMA priority toward performance by increasing throttle and electric steering response.

At a stop, the engine shuts off and turns off the air to cut fuel consumption. Press in the clutch and the IMA starts the engine and off you go.

Out on the road, the handling was like a small sports car, precise and with great feedback. At a closed course slalom, people were throwing the CR-Z around with great abandon with one journalist delighting in the low-end torque and the fact he could get the tail to hang out on hairpin turns.

I drove the car mostly in Normal and my co-driver mostly in Sport. The sports tuned suspension is already pretty good, but it’s even better in Sport allowing you to enjoy the car and stay under the posted speed limit all at the same time.

We also got a lot of looks in the CR-Z, mostly from kids but also from a lot of Honda driver/ owners.

There is cargo space for up to 711 litres. The CR-Z comes with a rear cargo cover that can be fitted at three different levels. In addition, there is a rear cargo console behind the front seats providing a hidden storage area complete with two-zone tray.

If you were expecting to pay $30,000 or more, forget it. The 2011 CR-Z Hybrid with loads of standard features is $23,490 for the manual and $24,290 for the CVT. That means, along with the Civic Hybrid and the Insight, Honda offers the three lowest priced hybrids on the market.
