Soccer games marred by racial slurs League’s disciplinarians say it’s ‘absolutely unacceptable’ by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Players, coaches and parents in the Lower Mainland’s 4 District Soccer League are being warned that commenting about the colour of an individual’s skin or about his or her nationality or religion is “absolutely unacceptable.” “Never before has the discipline committee had so many complaints of alleged racial slurs and derogatory commenting,” wrote Jackie Larson on behalf of the league’s discipline committee in an e-mail released to coaches and managers Wednesday. Larson wouldn’t quantify the number of complaints, and wouldn’t single out the teams for privacy reasons, but told The Richmond Review that many of the problems are in the under-13 and under-14 ranks. “Nobody’s angels here. Coaches, players, parents too.” Larson said the issue has come to a head over the past six weeks, and she’s certain that for every complaint that’s come to the attention of the disciplinary committee, there are many others that have gone unreported. The incidents have in some cases escalated beyond the utterance of racial slurs, to pushing and shoving. “People are offended to be called a name,” Larson said, adding that the incidents involve exchanges both on and off the soccer pitch.
Asked if any suspensions have been handed out, Larson pointed out the challenge has been that the referees haven’t independently witnessed the incidents. And so it’s become a “he said, he said” that’s resulted in hearings and ultimately only warnings. Charlie Cuzzetto, president of the B.C. Soccer Association, said racism won’t be tolerated on and off the pitch. “It’s not in the spirit of the game.” The association will be looking at the incidents involving the 4 District League. He clarified that videotaped evidence of exchanges, and information from independent witnesses should be utilized in coming to an appropriate penalty for these types of infractions. “We definitely wouldn’t tolerate anything like that. In the heat of battle people say stupid things, however stupid things shouldn’t escalate to racial overtones or discriminatory jargon.” A couple of the challenges is that the referees for the games are often very young and inexperienced. Another is that there’s a desperate need for coaches, and volunteer parents, many of whom have not coaching experience or training, are asked to step up. Larson said that she’s certain that over the years, referees have encountered challenging experiences
that have led to their departure. “You can’t have a young referee going home crying and expecting him to do another game,” she said. In the e-mail circulated this week, Larson wrote: “Commenting about the colour of an individual’s skin or about his or her nationality, religion or personally insulting descriptions of that person is not only hurtful it is absolutely unacceptable.” The message is also posted on the Richmond Youth Soccer Association’s website. “There can be no innocent bystanders when there is a commitment by teams; their team officials, players and spectators to be respectful to all. Everyone deserves to go home having a good experience and some have not been so fortunate this season.” In the letter—which coaches and managers have been instructed to hold a special team meeting about in order to discuss—league members are reminded of the code of ethics, FIFA Laws of the Game, and the B.C. Soccer Association Fair Play code. “Sport involves respect for the opposition and game officials; team officials must develop this by their words and actions... Coaches are the most important influence on players. Coaches who positively guide, mentor and help players to enjoy the game will give a lifelong enjoyment of the game,” the disciplinary committee’s letter states. The 4 District league comprises 400 under-11 to under-18 boys teams from Richmond, Vancouver, Burnaby and the North Shore.

Backhoe thief leads police on low-speed chase Vehicle ditched on Alderbridge Way; suspect caught nearby by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter
Martin van den Hemel photo The driver of this stolen backhoe loader led police on a wild chase Wednesday morning that ended when the vehicle crashed into a tree on Alderbridge Way.
It certainly was an unusual get-away vehicle. On Wednesday morning, Richmond Mounties received a report from a local resident of an unknown man inside her house on the 6700 block of No. 5 Road. The suspect fled in a yellow Caterpillar back loader, which at times drove the wrong way in traffic as it attempted to evade Richmond Mounties which were in pursuit. The suspect ditched the back loader after it struck a tree on the grassy median on Alderbridge Way, near Shell Road. Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said the dog unit was dispatched and
began to track the suspect. He was tracked down to a townhouse complex on the 4700 block of Blair Drive where he unsuccessfully tried to steal another vehicle. The suspect was located by police around 9:30 a.m. and taken into custody. The back loader had been reported stolen from a Vancouver construction site on Tuesday, and has now been returned to its rightful owner. Investigators will be recommending charges of breaking and entering, theft under $5,000, and possession of stolen property against a Vancouver man, 39. The accident shut down one lane of traffic, leading to a bottleneck that lasted a couple of hours.

Richmond High students gear up for annual toy drive by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter
see guest experience or visit yyoga.ca for info
Richmond High teacher Fred Dietrich has a surplus of capable hands eager to do their part for the 40th annual Christmas Toy Drive. But with ďŹ ve classes of kids lined up to participate, he’s lacking in items for them to refurbish.
SpeciďŹ cally, he’s looking for used bikes that could use some TLC in the form of sandblasting, a thorough cleaning and a fresh coat of paint. Donations of bikes, books, games, and toys that are in good, re-usable condition, are being accepted at the school from 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. for the next couple
of weeks. Dietrich said he has no way of picking up donations, but those who are able to drop them off can contact him at the school at 604668-6400. Asked how many toys he’s given away since the toy drive began four decades ago, Dietrich said it’s been countless truck loads.

U.S. lawyer named new B.C. police watchdog by Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government has hired Denver’s police oversight specialist to head the province’s new Independent Investigations Office. Richard Rosenthal was deputy district attorney in Los Angeles before moving to Portland to establish their independent police office. He then moved to create his current job as independent police monitor for the city and county of Denver. Rosenthal starts setting up the new B.C. office in January, and wants to have it ready to investigate deaths and serious injuries involving police starting in mid-2012. The B.C. government committed to a civilian-led agency after a string of incidents involving RCMP and city police forces. The office was recommended by inquiries into the 2007 death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver airport, and Frank Paul, who was removed from the Vancouver Police drunk tank in 1998 and left unconscious in an alley. The 2005 gunshot death of Ian Bush at the RCMP detachment in Houston, B.C. was another case that pushed the B.C. government to end the practice of
police incidents being investigated by other police forces. The independent office will also bring B.C. RCMP officers under civilian oversight. Asked at a news conference in Vancouver Wednesday if Denver police were happy to see him go, Rosenthal replied that he introduced a rule there that officers who lie to internal affairs investigators are fired. That was a “change in culture,” he said. Rosenthal said he also wants to study cases of deadly force to learn from them, an approach that helped reduce police shootings in Denver from 12 to 15 a year to four or five. RCMP Assistant Commissioner Fraser MacRae was on hand for the announcement, and said he looks forward to working with Rosenthal’s office. Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond said the office location and budget can now be finalized, as Rosenthal decides how much staff he needs. Rosenthal also plans to visit civilian oversight offices in Alberta and Ontario. Initially, the Independent Investigations Office will restrict itself to cases of death or serious injury in police incidents. Bond said the mandate could expand after periodic reviews by a legislative committee.

Cigarette smuggler fined A Taiwanese national has been fined $5857.98 in Richmond provincial court after having more than $4,000 in cigarettes seized by border officials in August of 2009. Chih Hung Kuo pled guilty to one count of making a false or deceptive statement to Canada Border Services officers, and one count of possessing unstamped tobacco products. Border services spokesperson Stefanie Wudel said Kuo arrived at Vancouver International Airport on Aug. 9, 2009 while en-route to visit his children who live in Canada. He did not declare anything on his written declaration card, and was referred for a secondary inspection.That’s where border officers inspected his bags and found 58 undeclared cartons of unstamped cigarettes. According to Wudel, Kuo made contradictory statements about where the cigarettes came from, and to whom they belonged. It was eventually learned that Kuo purchased some of the $4,100 worth of cigarettes from a duty-free store before arriving in Canada, and others were given to him by a third party. —by Martin van den Hemel

A three-kilometre dyke that shields Steveston from flooding will be the first Lulu Island embankment probed in a new city-led study. City hall has issued a call for an engineering consultant to begin studying the 49-kilometre dyke surrounding Richmond’s main island, designed to offer protection from river and ocean flooding. Budgeted at $200,000, Phase 1 of the Lulu Island Dyke Master Plan will focus on a section of dyke stretching from Garry Point to London Farm, some of which is
incorporated into existing roads— such as Bayview Street—and is adjacent to urban development. It’s a challenging area for dyke engineers, compounded by heritage structures, a working harbour and sensitive habitat. It’s also seen by developers as prime real estate. “Steveston is probably the most complex places that we have on the island, and there is a lot of development happening, so we wanted to target that first,” said John Irving, the city’s director of engineering. A significant portion of Steveston’s waterfront is managed by the Steveston Harbour Author-
ity, which leases 17.5 hectares (43.2 acres) of land from Fisheries and Oceans Canada. But the city also owns portions of land, along with private landowners such as Onni, which is beginning construction on its waterfront site at Imperial Landing. City staff say concerns over sea level rise is also prompting the study. “It’s something we need to constantly stay on top of,” said Irving. “In spite of the fact that we’re probably better protected today with the dyke infrastructure that we have in place than we ever have been, we need to keep our eye on the ball for the future.”
Earlier this year the province issued a report suggesting sea levels will rise faster and greater than previously thought. The report, “Climate Change Adaption Guidelines for Sea Dikes and Coastal Flood Hazard Land Use,” predicted a halfmetre rise in sea levels by 2050, and one metre by 2100. City hall already has a cabinet of studies and reports related to flood protection and seismic issues, including the 2008-2031 Richmond Flood Protection Strategy. Irving said that strategy largely identified risks, while this new report will be a kilometre-by-kilometre analysis of how the dyke could be improved.
Library gets donation of Chinese language books Richmond Public Library recently received a generous donation of 500 Chinese language books from the Association of Chinese Cultural Promotion – Canada. It includes books for adults and children on a wide range of topics on Chinese culture. “This significant donation will enrich our existing Chinese language collection and we’re extremely grateful to the Association of Chinese Cultural Promotion – Canada for their commitment to learning and literacy,” said commu-
nications officer Shelley Civkin. “It is by working together with community groups and organizations that we can continue to build our collection and provide excellent services to our community.”. Richmond Public Library’s collection of Chinese language books contains over 63,000 items for adults and children. The library also offers a range of programs in Cantonese and Mandarin, in partnership with a number of community organizations.

Game tells story of early Chinese-Canadians

Players experience what life would be like as a youth in 1911

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A Richmond-based software firm has helped develop a free online educational game showcasing the life and times of early Chinese-Canadians in B.C. Gold Mountain Quest is a game developed by Catstatic Interactive for a multi-disciplinary project led by University of B.C. aimed at shining light on the forgotten histories of people in Canada. It’s aimed at students in Grades 5 to 7—providing a unique history lesson about Chinese-Canadians in 1911. Players experience what life would have been like as a youth a century ago in B.C., while learning about historical artifacts and having fun. “The lives of the characters in the game would have experienced a similar lifestyle to the early Chi-

nese who settled in Steveston in Richmond’s early days,” said Josh Kuo, creative director at Catstatic, which developed the game based on a model created by university students at the Centre for Digital Media in Vancouver. Designed to be completed in under one hour, the game is set in a typical western Canadian town, and characters and artifacts are true-to-life, having been drawn from historical data.
The game is part of the Chinese Canadian Stories project, led by Henry Yu, associate history professor at UBC. “The stories of Chinese Canadians have either been left out of our history, or the stories we hear are often about the terrible things that were done to them, rather than what they were doing,” said Yu in a news release.

EDITORIAL: Racial slurs have no place
I
t’s often said that hockey parents are the worst examples of bad behaviour, but some soccer parents apparently should enter the discussion. In recent weeks, so many incidents have happened in the 400-team 4 District Soccer League—involving Richmond, Vancouver, Burnaby and the North Shore—that it sparked the league’s discipline committee to take action and fire out a mass e-mail this week. Parents and players have let their
passion for the beautiful game blind them to their behaviour, which has devolved into name calling, racial slurs and derogatory commenting. And that’s disgraceful. While Richmond may be one of Canada’s most culturally diverse cities, it would be folly to assume that racism doesn’t exist here. Today’s children in local elementary and secondary schools have always known the city to be diverse, but that might not be the case for their parents who grew up in a different Richmond. Newcomers to Lulu Island might not know better either.
With more two income families than ever before, spare time has become so rare that many parents don’t have the time to volunteer to coach. And that’s meant a shallow pool, and scream-first parents suddenly becoming the mentor for kids. Unfortunately, that’s not always been a good thing. Inexperienced parents who were raised in less respectful and tolerant surroundings suddenly are thrust into the position of head coach. And in the heat of battle, their onpitch decorum has become less than apropos.
Parents should remember that virtually everything they say reflects not just on themselves or their families, but on their team and community. And same goes for coaches. Unfortunately, often forgotten is the important of sports, and soccer, for children. It’s how they learn to socialize, make friends, discover new skills, encounter success and failure. Parents and coaches should have learned the lessons of appropriate public behaviour long ago, but as the adage goes, you never stop learning, apparently.
Eating my words over Garden City comment
Shades of Green Arzeena Hamir
I
t’s not often that I admit that I have to eat my words.
Like many of you, I noticed the pictures of Garden City School on the front page of the paper a few weeks ago. The school had just finished a project painting colourful wooden flowers, bees & insects onto their fenceline and was happy to show off their work. Many of you must have thought “how sweet.” I, on the other hand, lamented the fact that the flowers were wooden, wishing that the school could have planted real flowers (and veggies) as well. And, as I’m sure you’re well aware by now, I’m not shy about posting my opinion in public. I pass by Garden City School on a regular basis. It’s within walking distance of my house and I’d always wondered why there was so much concrete, especially in the play area facing the street. After my post, I immediately got a reply from the school principal, Sean Harrington. He said that when he read my comments “his heart sank”. I don’t know about you but I have never been in trouble with a principal and I can tell you his words touched me deeply.
Martin van den Hemel photo Cassidy Lau, Ken Yim, Megan Yung, vice-principal Wayne McDermott, Meggie Loshinin and principal Sean Harrington added a welcome splash of colour to the front of Garden City Elementary School.
The school had taken great trouble to work on the project in order to make the grounds more child-friendly. They too found it “very ironic that our concrete jungle in the school front is not closely aligned with our school’s name, Garden City”. Which is also why they had taken great pains to dig up some of the blacktop in the front and plant grass. Oh my goodness. I hadn’t even noticed!! I’m sure the kids are having a hoot of a time on the soft surface but I couldn’t believe that I’d never picked up on the new grass field in the front. In addition, there are plans underway to get new planters so that the Eco Team can start a
garden. They’d already planted garlic. Again, I was dumbfounded. I had jumped to the conclusion that little had changed and boy was I wrong. It certainly goes to prove that change is happening, often below the surface, and we jump to conclusions at our peril. I apologized to Principal Harrington profusely (what else do you do when you get in trouble with a principal?) but I also decided to take it one step further. I offered my time and my skills, as I should have done in the first place. Instead of complaining about what I didn’t see happening, I should have gone to the school and offered to help. So, I offered a day a
week to the school to help with whatever planting they’d like. I have a contact with a certain potato farmer in east Richmond and I offered to pick up seed potatoes too. I also offered to help write grants and provide whatever support the school needed. I’m not sorry I opened my mouth. When you see something that needs changing, it is the duty of the community to say so. But, I could have done it in a much more compassionate way. Thanks to Principal Harrington for teaching me a much needed lesson. Arzeena Hamir is co-ordinator of the Richmond Food Security Society. Reach her at arzeena hamir@shaw.ca.
Again, I was dumbfounded. I had jumped to the conclusion that little had changed and boy was I wrong.

letters How Seniors Wellness Clinics were born
GILMORE GARDENS
Editor: Let’s take a moment to honor Norah Bain and the legacy she left for the citizens of the City of Richmond. The year was 1997 and the idea that Norah had, was to create a monthly program in Richmond where the general public of all ages could have access to holistic practitioners. As the story goes, one day, she happened to mention her program idea while visiting the Richmond Women’s Resource Centre at the Caring Place. A partnership was formed, brochures and posters were circulated and the monthly Holistic Night program began. Registration began at 6:30 p.m. on the third Monday of the month. It was first come, first served, so we soon had numbers to hand out to people as they arrived. As your number was called you had a choice of practitioners to choose from in the available 7 – 9 p.m. time slots. To create an energy exchange, a suggested donation of $5 was established, which was donated to the Richmond Women’s Resource Centre. Each month, Norah phoned her growing list of practitioners to remind them of the Holistic Night. She never knew who or how many would show up. We had a white board that
QUALITY LIVING
the practitioners signed in on when they arrived and that is how the clients knew what and who was available that evening. She trusted the Universe to provide and it always did. The needed number of practitioners would magically arrive for the number of clients that came. Eventually monthly e-mail reminders replaced the bulk of the phone calls. The program continued to evolve. Next we booked guest speakers to entertain the public while they were waiting, sometimes for two hours, for their session. Then the practitioners wanted to see the guest speakers too, so we had the guest speaker come early and speak to the practitioners first while the public was signing up for sessions. At 7 p.m., when the sessions started, the guest speaker would then start another presentation for the public. It was a challenge, speaking to an audience that changed every half-hour as new people arrived from others left to go to their session. Eventually, Norah talked two of us into taking over her job. We had developed a list of more than 100 holistic practitioners encompassing everything from ear acupuncture, iridology, Bach flower remedy, reiki, healing touch, touch for
health, therapeutic touch, reflexology, craniosacral therapy, to name a few. And the guest speakers we attracted were professionals and authors. People started asking if we could take the program to the Minoru Seniors Centre, so on July 18th, 2001, we met with Howard Palliser, the recreation programmer, who had already heard about us from some of the seniors. We agreed to start the holistic practitioners sessions tagging on to the monthly blood pressure clinic that was already running. To start with, the suggested donations went to the Minoru Seniors Centre. This changed and the suggested $5 donation was given to the holistic practitioner. For a myriad of reasons, after six years, we made the decision to end the Holistic Night program and said our farewells at the Nov. 17, 2003 session. And the rest is history. Fast forward to November 2011, and the present day Seniors Wellness Clinic program that has evolved and developed into city wide monthly programs at seven community centres and now includes manicures, pedicures, facials and the blood pressure clinic, as well as the annual Activate Wellness Fair.

letters Richmond Review went too far in public shaming of accused Editor: Re: “Beauty pageant contestant charged in Vancouver riot,” Dec. 2 Richmond Review. I was disappointed to see the picture of a young woman who is accused of taking part in the Vancouver riot on the front page of your paper. Her picture was huge. She may or may not be found guilty of break and enter or theft by the courts but your public shaming of her disgusted me. I do not know this woman by the way. Your paper went several steps too far. This young woman probably has no criminal record. She may have made an incredibly stupid decision and deserves to be punished but to publicize her was shocking. If you are going to publicly shame people then why don't you start with some repeat car thief, or convicted drug dealer, repeat break and enter creep, or similar. Those would be people worthy of such a public shaming. I am truly disappointed by your editorial decision. Doug Lawrence Richmond

Man, 34, with two outstanding warrants, fails to stop for Richmond Mounties by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A stolen Ford F350 jumped a police road block early Monday morning at the Dinsmore Bridge while leading local Mounties on a chase that began at No. 2 and Blundell roads and ended near the Marine Drive Canada Line station in Vancouver. Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said the 34-year-old man who they believe stole the pickup truck is actually a prolific offender with two outstanding arrest warrants. He is now facing a slew more criminal counts. Around 4:20 a.m. Monday, Richmond RCMP received a call from a home on the 8000 block of Colonial Drive. A homeowner heard his vehicle driven away from his residence, and
contacted police who then broadcast an alert to officers out on patrol. The vehicle was spotted about an hour later heading toward the Dinsmore Bridge, and the Vancouver Police Department was then contacted. Officers deployed a spike belt at the bridge, but the Ford didn’t stop despite four deflated tires, travelling on wheel rims alone. The vehicle sped toward the Marine Drive Canada Line station, where the driver allegedly ditched the vehicle and fled on foot. The area was cordoned off, and a Vancouver police dog unit began to track the suspect, who was found around 6:30 a.m. hiding under a retaining wall next to the Fraser River. The suspect was loaded aboard a Coast Guard hovercraft and taken for hypothermia treatment. “This is another example of police agencies and their partners coming together to bring about successful conclusions to investigations,” Turley said. The suspect, whose name has not yet been released, has two war-

Particularly for young children, baking sugar cookies with Mom or Dad and then decorating the creations can be a festive way to spend a day.
Making delicious sugar cookies Part of the enjoyment of the holiday season involves spending time in the kitchen whipping up delicious treats. Particularly for young children, baking sugar cookies with Mom or Dad and then decorating the creations can be a festive way to spend a day. Those short on time can turn to storemade sugar cookie dough for their cookie making, but those who want the authentic taste of cookies from scratch, there are many recipes from which to choose. This recipe for rolled sugar cookies produces cookies that will hold up well to cutting and baking. They’re also quite delicious.
Rolled Sugar Cookies (Makes 5 dozen) 11/2 cups butter, softened 3 cups white sugar 4 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 5 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1. Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. 2. Mix the dry ingredients together and
add to the wet ingredients until incorporated. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least one hour. 3. Preheat the oven to 400˚F. On a surface coated with some confectioners’ sugar, roll out the dough to between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thickness (a thinner cookie will be crispier). Cut out shapes with a cookie cutter. 4. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place cookies 1 inch apart on the parchment. 5. Bake around 5 to 7 minutes, or just until the edges of the cookies start
to brown. Remove promptly from the cookie sheet and cool on a rack. 6. Decorate the cookies using icing (recipe below) when the cookies cool, or sprinkle with colored sugar while cookies are warm.
Cookie Icing (Covers 1 dozen cookies) 1 cup confectioners’ sugar 2 teaspoons milk 2 teaspoons light corn syrup 1/4 teaspoon almond extract Assorted food coloring
1. In a small bowl, stir together confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth. Beat in corn syrup and almond extract until icing is smooth and glossy. If icing is too thick, add more corn syrup. 2. Divide the icing into separate containers to add choice of colors. Mix until well blended. 3. Use a piping tip and pastry bag to outline the cookie in a thin bead of the icing. Allow to dry. 3. Then use a paintbrush to fill in the design with the remainder of the icing.

Santa Claus is coming to town. Little toy dolls that cuddle and coo, Elephants, boats and Kiddie cars too. Santa Claus is coming to town.
He’s making a list, He’s checking it twice, He’s gonna find out who’s naughty or nice. Santa Claus is coming to town! He sees you when you’re sleeping, He knows when you’re awake. He knows when you’ve been bad or good, So be good for goodness sake! So...You better watch out, You better not cry You better not pout, I’m telling you why.

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Mild he lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth. Risen with healing in his wings, Light and life to all he brings, Hail, the Sun of Righteousness! Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Refrain
Hark! the herald angels sing Glory to the new-born King! Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled! Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With th’ angelic host proclaim Christ is born in Bethlehem! Hark! the herald angels sing Glory to the new-born King!
Come, Desire of nations come, Fix in us Thy humble home; Rise, the Woman’s conquering Seed, Bruise in us the Serpent’s head. Adam’s likeness now efface: Stamp Thine image in its place; Second Adam, from above, Reinstate us in thy love. Refrain
Christ, by highest heaven adored; Christ, the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold him come, Offspring of the Virgin’s womb. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; Hail the incarnate Deity, Pleased as man with man

Cookies & Carols It Came Upon A Midnight Clear It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold! “Peace on the earth, good will to men, From heaven’s all gracious King! The world in solemn stillness lay, To hear the angels sing. Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heavenly music floats, O’er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains, They bend on hovering wing.
And ever o’er its Babel sounds, The blessed angels sing. Yet with the woes of sin and strife, The world hath suffered long; Beneath the angel-strain have rolled, Two thousand years of wrong; And man, at war with man, hears not,
The love song which they bring: O hush the noise, ye men of strife, And hear the angels sing.
For lo! the days are hastening on, By prophet bards foretold, When, with the evercircling years, Shall come the Age of
Gold; When peace shall over all the earth, Its ancient splendors fling, And all the world give back the song, Which now the angels sing.

Each weekday inside a building on Moncton Street, pint-sized explorers are learning by experiencing the world. Through experiential play, gardening, art, music, yoga, language and creative thinking, young students at With Our Own Two Hands Preschool are taking charge of their own learning. It’s part of the Reggio philosophy of learning through exploration and discovery that the school employs—a philosophy that’s proudly pronounced in its name. “The concept of our preschool is doing things with our own two hands,” said Nicole Javadi, the school’s director. “All these things are meant for children to develop a well-rounded experience at school.” Javadi opened the school last summer and the response has been great, with the school getting registrations even before it opened. “It’s been something that parents are really looking for,” she said. “A lot of schools might have the art, or have the language or have the academic, but it’s seldom when you come across a school that has all of it.” The school is for children ages three to five—but kids as young as 30 months can enroll, provided
they’ll turn three in December. The school teaches respect for the environment by helping children build connections to the earth through gardening. Instructors also help develop skills often ignored today, like sewing, composting and soap-making. “I think those are important skills that we’ve forgotten. And the environment would be so much better if we all made our own soap,” said Javadi. Each child is seen as a unique explorer and learner, and is given freedom to learn through discovery and play. One area in which children are encouraged to explore is art. “Art is a huge stimulus for the brain,” said Javadi. “It allows children to express themselves, to create things.” Outdoor exploration is also emphasized, with kids encouraged to connect with nature outside during school for a half hour each day. In the school’s garden, children can grow their own flowers, fruits, herbs and vegetables. And worms are treated as friends, encouraging empathy, not bullying. “We look at little bugs and we take out every single spider that we come across,” said Javadi. With Our Own Two Hands also boasts a Learning Centre, with classes offered for all ages after preschool hours. A multitude of classes for all ages, ability levels, needs and interests are offered. Specialized classes for children with special needs and autism are also available. Our Own Two Hands is located at 3871 Moncton St. Preschool registrations are accepted at any time.

volunteers are stars Constellation Awards
Louise Young
Honours volunteers or volunteer groups for their service and contribution to the community. Four awards are presented, recognizing two individuals and two groups.
Through her volunteer work, this nominee has assisted a diverse range of community groups and organizations. So diverse, in fact, that one would be hard pressed to find an area of the community on which she hasn’t had a positive and long-lasting impact. She began volunteering in 1977, when she served as president of South Arm Women’s Auxiliary. While there, she played a key role in enhancing the group’s Breakfast with Santa event, which is still held today. As chair of the board of the Richmond Community Services Centre Society, she was instrumental in raising funds for the construction of the Richmond Caring Place. Completed in 1994, the building is currently home to 13 local non-profit organizations, and has grown to become a cornerstone of the community. She served on Gateway Theatre’s board of directors for five years, and for the past 10 years has been involved with the Advanced Society for Children with Learning Disabilities, now known as Camp Eureka. From 2001 to 2011 she was a Board Member of the Richmond Community Foundation and continues to volunteer with the organization. An avid curler, she has served on the Richmond Curling Club’s board of directors for three years running. This nominee is always ready to offer a helping hand, whether it’s to plan an event, assist with fundraising, or write a grant. For her, giving back is its own reward.
George Agnew has been a volunteer for most of his adult life. Since he retired 10 years ago, his passion for community service has only increased. For the past 30 years, he has been an event organizer with the Kajaks Track & Field Club, working on races such as the Flatlands 10km, the Icebreaker 10km, and, more recently, the Richmond Olympic Oval 10km. In addition to his work with Kajaks, he has been involved with the Richmond Terry Fox Run for 25 years, eight of those as a serving member on the Terry Fox Richmond Committee. In 2004, he was recognized at the annual Richmond Sports Awards in the “Builders Category.” While it’s true that
Rob Newell photo George Agnew volunteers with the Kajaks, Terry Fox Run, Green Coats and more.
this individual has had an incredible impact on Richmond’s sporting scene, his volunteer work doesn’t end there. Indeed, it’s just the tip of the iceberg. He’s an advocate for seniors, having sat on the Seniors Advisory Committee at Thompson Community Centre for the past eight
years. In this role, he was instrumental in securing a grant that led to the development of a seniors’ computer room at Thompson. For 20 years, from 1990–2010, he was a committee member of “Dreams Take Flight,” a group that organizes dream vacations for terminally ill or disabled youth.
And he’s been a YVR “Green Coat” volunteer for 10 years running, welcoming countless visitors to Richmond and beautiful British Columbia at the Vancouver International Airport. Dedicated. Selfless. Passionate. Agnew is all three, and a shining example of Richmond’s volunteer spirit.
To the constellation of volunteer stars, generous sponsors, nominators, nominees, pp p winners, supporters, and g guests:

Rob Newell photo Hand Up to Hope won a Constellation Award for its work in providing a hot home-cooked meal to the city’s homeless and disadvantaged. Rob Newell photo The Richmond Youth Foundation won a Constellation Award for its work in developing of youth leadership.
Richmond Youth Foundation This group of dedicated young people works to engage Richmond high school students in the development of youth leadership, and strives to create an awareness of youth’s ability to participate in community philanthropy. In the past year, the group has granted $3800 to organizations such as the Richmond Society for Community Living, the Richmond Art Gallery Association, and Financial Literacy for
Youth. The money is put toward projects that benefit youth, and comes from the group’s own endowment fund, which it builds through fundraising efforts and donated capital. At its annual Zenith in Action event, the group encourages youth to submit project proposals for community initiatives. Three finalists are awarded grants to fund their ideas, and participants on the winning team each receive a scholarship. One example of a Zenith in Action project the group funded was a student-run community garden. Once harvested, the crops—which included potatoes,
zucchini, and carrots—were donated to the Food Bank. Group members are active in public outreach, having volunteered at events ranging from the Rosewood Manor Garden Party to the Steveston Salmon Festival to the Richmond Community Foundation’s Annual Golf Tournament. They also speak regularly at Richmond high schools, providing youth with information on the community granting process. This group has shown that you’re never too young to make a difference in your community, and that youth are an endless source of ideas and inspiration.
Hand Up to Hope This next group understands that a little hope goes a long way. That’s why, each Sunday evening, at the Richmond Bottle Depot, they provide a hot homecooked meal to the city’s homeless and disadvantaged. On some nights, as many as 25 people show up to receive food, as well as socks, gloves, jackets, and other basic necessities. But these volunteers provide more than just food and clothing. They help the individuals they meet access community resources to assist with drug and alcohol addiction or mental illness; they help them apply for housing and government benefits; sometimes, they help them simply by offering encourage-
ment, and, that word again, hope. Some of the individuals the group has helped are now off the streets and leading productive, fulfilling lives. Several of them are volunteering. One such individual visits schools to speak about the dangers of addiction and to tell his story of redemption. The hope is that students, after hearing from someone who’s been homeless, will feel a greater connection to those living on the streets and will do what they can to help. This group has been active for nearly three years, and in that time has worked tirelessly to ensure that those who might otherwise fall through the cracks get a chance at a better life. Sometimes, a hot meal, a new change of clothes, and a little encouragement can make all the difference in the world.
Star of Richmond Award Honours an individual who has demonstrated exceptional leadership in the non-profit sector.
Kim Jones Kim Jones will be remembered for his honesty, integrity, and dedication. One of his nominators described him as a “leader among leaders,” a sentiment surely shared by everyone he worked with. As president of Thompson Community Association, he was instrumental in restructuring the board and committees to meet new realities in the voluntary sector, and make program delivery more effective and efficient.

Som Ghosh won a Shooting Star Award for co-founding the McRoberts in Action Group and working in many other volunteer capacities. Rob Newell photo
Som Ghosh When travelling in India four years ago, Som Ghosh encountered a young child living on the streets of Kolkata. Lacking access to food, clean drinking water, and a proper education, the child faced a harsh reality. Knowing he could do nothing at the time, the nominee made a promise to himself: he would become a catalyst for positive change in the world. And so began his volunteer journey. At his school, McRoberts Secondary, he co-founded the McRoberts in Action Group,
Teddy Shih Teddy Shih has been described by his nominator as a dedicated individual who volunteers “from his heart and with a natural ability and passion that comes through so strong and radiates positivity.” This volunteer does indeed exemplify
which encourages students to play a positive role in their community. He’s also taken the lead on a number of fundraising initiatives at the school, including one that raised over $5,000 for Free the Children, an organization that seeks to empower youth to create global change. The money was put towards the development of a clean water system in Haiti. Described by his nominator as an effective leader who is cheerful, creative, responsible, collaborative, respected, and enthusiastic, the nominee has won the McRoberts Service Award four years in a row, from
dedication as he has accumulated over 100 hours of his time as a tutor for the Richmond Youth Service Agency’s Generations Homework Club. This program offers free, after school tutoring for elementary school students who would not normally be able to afford tutoring services. The award recipient is unique in his incred-
grade 8 through grade 11. In each of those years, he accumulated between 800 and 1000 volunteer hours at various school clubs. Since 2007, he’s been the CoPresident of the Student Council. Away from school, he’s volunteered as a camp leader at South Arm Community Centre and served as an organizer for Rich City Idol. A gifted public speaker, he placed fourth in the 2011 We Day National Speech Competition. While his volunteer journey is just getting started, it’s clear that with every step he takes, this Ghosh is making his community, and the world, a better place.

ing by making them laugh and yet able to focus on completing their homework at the same time. He has the talent of being able to bring out the best qualities of every student, helping others gain confidence, and knowing both how to have fun and get work done. His involvement in the Richmond community expands beyond the Homework Club as well, as he participated in a Free the Children development project in Kenya, worked as a youth reporter for The Richmond Review, and acted as a Math and French tutor for the West Richmond Community Centre.

volunteers are stars Nova Star Award – Innovation Honours organizations that have carried out their objectives with creativity and innovation, responding to the needs of the community. One award is presented.
Congratulations to the 2011 Shooting Star Award winners!

Som Ghosh and Teddy Shih, you inspire us all with your service above self!
Rob Newell photo Team ALS of BC and Yukon won the Nova Star Award for Innovation.
Team ALS of BC and Yukon was awarded for its persistent striving to provide long term support for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis patients and their families. Although this non-profit organization is new to Richmond, it has already provided immeasurable benefits for the community in their dedication to support residents suffering from a rapidly progressive, neuromuscular disease.
This small office of five employees manages to lead over 300 volunteers to raise funds for patient services and research as well as increase public awareness and understanding. In addition, the society is able to offer an equipment loan program, which is especially crucial when one considers that equipment costs for each patient amount to a staggering $137, 000.
Starry, starry, night.
Not only are patients benefiting, but families are too. This group organizes a camp for kids whose families are affected by this disease. It’s often the first time away the kids have had since the diagnosis. For Richmond and beyond, this group has built a $2.5 million medical equipment lending library for patients, which will leave a positive and lasting change in the community.
www.sunriserotary.ca We invite you to join us for breakfast every Thursday morning at 7:00am to learn more about encouraging youth and building a better future for Richmond’s community.

Shining Star Award – Caring Company Honours businesses for their contribution to strengthen the community either through volunteer time/ programs, expertise, or funding to non-profit groups
Innovation Networks Innovation Networks is this year’s Shining Star Award winner. This caring business has played a significant role in strengthening the Richmond community by sharing their resources and knowledge in ways that promote the city’s growth into a healthy, creative, and vibrant place. In today’s technology-driven age, it has become crucial for non-profit organizations to be readily available to the public: establishing an online presence is a must. This company has enabled local social resources to be more easily accessible by developing and sponsoring web-
sites of non-profit groups such as the Steveston Community Society, Richmond Arts Coalition, and Touchstone Family Association. In addition, this company has been a valued contributor to numerous community causes, including the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the Richmond Christmas Fund, and the Steveston Salmon Festival, to name a few. The nominator described this business as a coalition of “community-minded professionals working together to provide an outstanding service to their business clients and to their community at large.” Indeed, this company has made countless contributions to Richmond and has done so with expertise, creativity, and innovation.

...is only a breath away!
Staff Reporter A short film with a serious message, created by a group of local high school students, has been selected as a finalist in a dry grad video contest. Six Hugh McRoberts students are now vying for the top prize in the B.C. Automobile Association-sponsored contest: $4,000 toward their school’s dry grad celebrations. Grade 12 students Som Ghosh, Patrick Fleming, Kevin Abad, Liam Slade, Cam Dowle and Kevin Mang spent the last few months creating the three-minute video. The film depicts a group of young men drinking, showing the consequences of one man’s actions based on two scenarios. A second-place prize of $2,000 and a thirdplace prize of $1,000— both toward dry grad celebrations—will also be awarded. Online voting at bcaa.com/drygrad will determine the winner. Voting closes at noon on Dec. 12.

Richmond United U18 boys’ soccer team won the B.C. Metro Select championship last season and is undefeated through 13 games this season.
United stands tall for youth soccer program by Don Fennell Sports Editor A team that flirted with not getting off the ground this season is again setting the pace. Champions of the B.C. under-18 boys’ Metro Select Soccer League last year, Richmond United is unbeaten through 13 games and has outscored their opponents 57-7 with nine clean sheets. Ante Boskovic has provided the
team with outstanding goalkeeping, supported by a strong back line which has left foes shaking their heads in disbelief. The goal scoring, led by the trio of Alexander Escobar, Rylan Sangha and Armando Matok, has been a pleasant surprise. Escobar won the Golden Boot Award at the recent B.C. high school AAA boys’ soccer championships, scoring seven goals in five games to lift the Matthew McNair Marlins to a ninth-place finish.
“It seems everyone on the team is scoring this year, even our keeper,” said captain Fergus Kennedy. Richmond lost several players from last season’s squad to graduation, forcing them to begin this year with only 14 players. “Perhaps what makes this year’s run so amazing is that we have used the Richmond youth system to bring under-16 players in each week,” said coaach John Gattens.

Sports Editor The Richmond Rapids’ annual FastSwim Classic, held last weekend at Watermania, typically draws several hundred swimmers from across the province for prize money and recognition. But for the host Rapids, it’s the peak of three months of training and an opportunity to see how far their training has progressed since their last championship meet in August. The coaches were not disappointed as 16 club records were established (Matthew Crawford in 100 and 200-metre backstroke and 400 individual medley; Jeremy Fung in 100 and 200 butterfly; Cathy Ye in 100 and 200 butterfly; Celine Hong in 400 individual medley; Kevin Ye in 50, 100 and 200 breaststroke; Michael Jakac-Sinclair in 50 freestyle and 50 butterfly; Hau-Lin Fan in 200 butterfly; and Brandon De Costa in 200 freestyle), five swimmers qualified for the B.C. AAA championships
Richard Rakchtis, 11, swam to a gold medal in the 400-metre freestyle at the Richmond Rapids’ annual FastSwim Classic last weekend at Watermania.
(Jaylene Berry, Nichole Welsh, Ethan Chan, Jeremy Fung and Adrian Hsing), and a host of personal bests were realized. For 12-and-under coach Drew McClure, the meet was about the swimmers continually improving. “I wanted kids to change something when they went to finals in the evening,” he said. “I thought the finals swims were much better executed, and that shows me they took something away from the preliminary swims.”
For Rapids 12 and Under coach Drew McClure it was about having swimmers be better during their second swims. “I wanted kids to change something when they went to finals in the evening. I thought that finals swims were much better executed and that shows me that the swimmers took something away from the preliminary swims to try and make it better,” says McClure. Rapids’ director of swimming Rob Pettifer, who noted the FastSwim Clas-
sic has been an annual tradition since the 1980s, was elated with the results achieved by Rapids swimmers this year. “We had a great presence in all age groups and it’s a good indication of what the kids are capable of as they move forward,” he said. “The kids are learning a lot, including what it takes to be successful and the value of dedication to their craft, while also understanding the importance of doing little things right every day.”

“They have fit in without missing a beat and contributed to our success.” Christian Zimmerman is such an example. The regular keeper for the under-16s was called upon to fill in for an injured Boskovic last weekend and backstopped Richmond to a 5-2 victory in West Vancouver. Gattens said being able to continue winning with younger players is a credit to the Richmond youth program, and in particular RYSA’s technical director Roberto Scascia. “He’s the best in B.C.,” Gattens

Vlasta and I met in 1970, moved in together in 1971 and married March 16, 1974. Our first trip to Europe for five months in 1972 led to a lifetime of travel throughout the world that was a major part of our life together. Soon after we were married, Vlasta and I wanted to start having the four girls we were hoping for and, in 1976, Tanya, our first of four daughters was born. Alyssa followed in 1978, Natasha in 1982 and our baby, Lara, in 1984. Vlasta always aspired to be a wife and mother and she excelled at both, being a truly loving spouse, mother and the ultimate caregiver. We feel truly blessed to have shared another life on Earth with you and will try to live our lives as well as you did and learn from the many thoughts that you have inspired in us. We will miss you always. Love from your family, Tommy (Husband), Tanya (Eric), Alyssa (Darren), Natasha and Lara (Daughters and Son-in-Laws), Ethan, Jaimie, Sara, Darren Jr. and Audrey (Grandchildren), Francisca (Sister) and many other family members in Canada and Slovenia Cusie, thanks for everything, I love you more than life itself. See you when I get there, and for eternity. Love, Tommy Angels are meant to fly A service will be held Saturday December, 10, 2011 at 11am at Sacred Heart Parish, 3900 Arthur Drive, Ladner, BC. Reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations to BC Cancer Agency are appreciated.

Tiger came to the SPCA when her owners moved and couldn’t take her with them. Tiger is a a shy little sweetheart looking for a quiet, patient home. Tiger is quite a snuggler and will happily greet you at the door. Chin scratches are her favourite! She is nervous around other cats, so a home with no cats, or very respectful ones, would be best for this princess. Come and meet Tiger today for her fur-ever home.

Anne Murray, Vancouver Airport Authority’s vice president, community and environmental affairs, presents Elizabeth Crudgington (right), Quest Food Exchange’s executive director, with the first of 500 food hampers donated by representatives of Vancouver Airport Authority and YVR retailers, partners, volunteers and employees. Quest collects and distributes overstocked, mislabelled or near-expiry products that would otherwise go to waste and diverts that food to people who need it. To date, the YVR community has donated more than $120,000 cash and $130,000 worth of food to Quest, thereby diverting more than 2,100 kg of airport waste from the landfill.
