MP silent on airport noise

Bunny money needed

House of Commons committee studying noise; no presentation from Richmond MP Alice Wong by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Sukh Dhaliwal isn’t the MP of Richmond, but he found himself this week arguing before a transport committee in the House of Commons on behalf of locals fed up by airport noise. Dhaliwal is the Liberal MP of Newton-North Delta, and together with an MP from Montreal, spoke about changes they’d like to see to the way airports are operated to minimize the impact of noise from planes flying over residential areas. The committee will study the noise effects of airport traffic across the country, including Richmond, Dhaliwal said. Dhaliwal has fielded many more complaints from Richmond residents than from those living in his own constituency, but felt compelled to bring the matter forward to Ottawa. He said that Richmond Conservative MP Alice Wong has failed her constituents by remaining silent on such a prominent issue. “Look at Richmond MP Alice Wong. She failed on it. She did not even show up when she knew that this is one of the most (significant) issues that affect her constituents. She wasn’t

even there in the committee meetings.” The Review sought to interview Richmond MP Alice Wong, but she didn’t make herself available, though her ofﬁce did send an e-mail. “As the committee is only beginning their proceedings on this matter, we cannot comment on the scope, details or intentions of the study. In time, the committee will make this clear,” Wong’s legislative assistant Eric Onderwater wrote. “Certainly we feel that it is a positive step that the committee would decide to study this issue and we anxiously await any conclusions that the committee may arrive at.” Joe Peschisolido, the Liberal nominee slated to challenge Wong during the next federal election, wouldn’t comment on Wong’s noshow. But he did say that if he was Richmond’s MP, he would have been there. “For me it’s important that if you want to represent as a member of Parliament of Richmond, you need to deal with the issues that impact directly the quality of life here in Richmond,” he said. Howard Jampolsky chaired a city task force on aircraft noise.

Richmond’s Jenny Leung impressed judges for a ﬁrst runner-up ﬁnish at the Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant, held Wednesday at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

Showing model behaviour by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Richmond High grad Jenny Leung didn’t begin to take a shine to ballroom dancing until she joined the inexpensive group lessons offered by her school’s dance club. Now the 20-year-old is dancing competi-

tively and excelling. The University of B.C. third-year biology student’s ﬁrst dabble into modelling was the Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant held Wednesday at the Vancouver Convention Centre. And she walked away as the ﬁrst runner-up. See Page 3

It’s not unusual for Dr. Joseph Martinez to spend the night at his Steveston animal clinic when he’s too tired to drive home. In the last three months, the veterinarian has been working around the clock to spay or neuter more than 100 rabbits from the University of Victoria en route to the Wild Rose Rescue Ranch in Texas. UVic has long had an overpopulation of feral rabbits. The university euthanized 104 of them last May, prompting animal rights groups to ﬁght against a large-scale cull. The Ministry of Environment is allowing some rabbits to be trapped and taken off campus, but the animals must be sterilized before sanctuaries will take them. Despite a generous donation from the Fur-Bearer Defenders, Martinez doesn’t have enough money to cover the cost of anesthetic and his technician’s salary. “We don’t have the budget to do all of them, so I’m basically doing it almost at no cost,” he said. Many of the animals require special medical attention. One bunny, likely mauled by a wild animal, arrived at the clinic with its eyelid torn off. It’s on antibiotics now, and Martinez plans to give it reconstructive plastic surgery.

Exhibit explores hi-tech history

Matti Mattila photo Santa wants letters.

From wired to wireless, new exhibit tracks the evolution of technology by Christine Lyon Staff Reporter Most history buffs wouldn’t expect to see a four-year-old iPod in a museum, but the modern artifact will soon be on display in Richmond. The Richmond Museum is one of the few in B.C. that “contemporary collects,” says curator Rebecca Forrest. “Who better to interpret our own history than us? Why wait 100 years for someone to take a look at an object and think ‘What is that? What did they use it for?’” The iPod is part of The

Cutting Edge, a new exhibit opening Tuesday, Dec. 14. The show explores the evolution of technology in Richmond, how it has shaped the city and inﬂuenced consumers. Focal pieces include a massive Linotype printing machine from 1900, a Second World War airplane engine on loan from BCIT, and a switchboard used at Richmond Fire Hall No. 1 in the 1940s. The museum has dusted off some pieces from its extensive collection of donated consumer products. Cameras, TVs,

radios, telephones, computers and video game consoles spanning several decades are all on display. Many objects will evoke feelings of nostalgia, while others are still found in homes and workplaces today. “You can be 90 years old and come in and see stuff you recognize and you can be 10 years old and come in and see stuff

you recognize,” said Forrest. “Children will look at that iPod and go ‘It’s huge!’ or ‘What’s a Walkman, what’s an 8-track?’ so I think it offers a lot to everyone.” The exhibit also pays tribute to Richmondbased companies that have been industrial pioneers in aerospace, aviation, communication and new media. “Companies here in

Richmond are making stuff that’s being sent out to space and is being used by international companies around the world,” Forrest said. Among those are aerospace company MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. and steel manufacturer Ebco Industries. Communication giants Nokia Canada, Sierra Wireless, Norsat and Epic

Data are also featured. At the hands-on displays, visitors can align a satellite dish or scan a fake passport through an airport check-in kiosk. The exhibit runs until June 23, 2011. In the meantime, Forrest continues her search for a few hard-to-comeby modern artifacts: an Atari game console, cassette tapes and a brick cell phone.

Leung competed against seven ﬁnalists From Page 1

“It felt great, actually, because I didn’t really expect anything out of it,” Leung said Friday morning as she prepared for a biology statistics exam in the afternoon. “This is my first experience (in modelling).” Leung competed against seven other finalists, and performed a paso doble ballroom dance routine choreographed specifically for the pageant and performed in front of a panel of judges that included fellow Richmondite Alexa Loo, a Canadian Olympic snowboarder. Leung said her dance experience helped her

feel at ease performing in front of people. “It’s different in the sense that you’ve got lights on you and you’re on the stage, but in terms of interacting with the audience I’d say it’s pretty similar.” While she’s eyeing a future as a dentist, Plan B is a career in biology, and perhaps modelling and dance can be hobbies, she said. Leung’s family moved to Richmond from Hong Kong when she was 18 months old. She joined the district incentive program at A.R. MacNeill secondary and then transferred to the International Baccalaureate program at Richmond High.

Bunny donations ‘have dried up’ From Page 1

Rescued UVic rabbits enjoy life at the Wild Rose Rescue Ranch in Texas.

On Sunday, Dec. 12 Little Paws Animal Clinic at 12011 2nd Ave. will host a fundraiser from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Treat your pet rabbit to a health check or purchase baked goodies (for humans and animals). Donations will help send rescued bunnies to the Precious Life Animal Sanctuary in Washington State. Rescue organizer Sorelle Saidman says it’s cheaper to transport the bunnies to Washington than Texas, but money is needed to buy an all-terrain vehicle to move the rabbits within the sanctuary. “At this point, coming in close to Christmas and being the tail end of

the rescue, donations have totally dried up,” she said. Assuming a permit is granted to take the rabbits across the border, Saidman expects to pick up another batch on Tuesday. Martinez is the only vet in the Lower Mainland who is performing the operations. “He’s going to have a very busy December because he will be doing, at the very least, 75 rabbits over the next few weeks,” said Saidman. By the end of the month, she expects the three groups involved in the rescue will have taken 800 bunnies off campus, possibly concluding the mission.

Santa renews call for letters Santa Claus is a man of tradition. He always seems to be wearing a velvet red suit, he still uses reindeer to travel and as far as he’s concerned, bushy beards never go out of style. And although he likes handing out the latest in gifts, he prefers traditional methods of communicating—like face-to-face chats and letters. So get your pens and pencil crayons out and write Santa an old fashioned letter. He wants to know about your hopes and dreams— and what you’d like for Christmas—and he’s anxious to read about it in The Richmond Review. Mail or drop off your letters to The Richmond Review (140-5671 No. 3 Rd., Richmond, B.C., V6X 2C7). You can also e-mail entries to santa@richmondreview.com.

mandatory three-year sentence for gun possession. McKinnon was “pretty strong-worded” during her sentencing, according to Shpyakin’s lawyer, but only gave him an additional year above the minimum. The local RCMP investigation was triggered by a 911 call, in which a man driving home to Burnaby claimed someone ﬁred two shots at him from another vehicle, according to a voir dire ruling ﬁled in Richmond provincial court. Shpyakin and his lawyer, David Karp, had argued the search conducted by police breached his charter rights. Police seized the Glock and two other weapons from

Staff Reporter A New Year’s Eve road rage incident involving a gun in 2008 left a Burnaby man shaking with fear and concluded this week with a young Richmond man paying a hefty price. Anatoly Alex Shpyakin, 25, was sentenced Wednesday to four years in prison by Richmond provincial court Judge Jane McKinnon after Mounties found him carrying a loaded Glock .45-calibre handgun inside his Dodge pickup truck on Dec. 31, 2008. New legislation enacted in May of 2008 set out a

Shpyakin’s truck after they pulled him over in the parking lot at the Ironwood Shopping Centre. The 911 caller had said he had unintentionally swerved into an occupied lane, and didn’t see the truck. The truck’s driver then pulled out a handgun and ﬁred two rounds at him through the passenger window as they were heading east along Blundell Road, between No. 2 and Gilbert roads around 7 p.m. The caller, who said he was afraid of karma, struggled to clearly explain what happened and said he was still shaken up some 30 minutes after the incident. Calling from a pay phone, he refused to identify himself to the 911 operator. But the caller had managed to note the licence plate of the vehicle, and gave a description of the truck and its driver. Shortly after the 911 call, police in an unmarked vehicle spotted Shpyakin’s truck on the road, but didn’t immediately pull him over and instead followed him. Since the 911 caller had mentioned that a handgun was involved, plainclothes ofﬁcers were worried about public and police safety and were reluctant to approach him from a vehicle with no visible police markings.

Float plane noise still a big issue From Page 1

So the officers at the scene kept a distant eye on Shpyakin as he rolled through a Burger King drive-thru while another officer was dispatched in a marked police vehicle. The arresting officer, who arrived at the scene minutes later, pulled out her weapon as she approached his truck to conduct a Code 5 high-risk arrest, and demanded that Shpyakin get out and show his hands. Shpyakin complied and was taken into custody without incident. He was released in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day following questioning. Police also recovered a Zip gun, otherwise known as a “bear banger” with a spent .22 calibre shell casing in it, a telescopic asp baton, and three baggies containing 9.3 grams of marijuana from the truck. Shpyakin told police he kept the firearm for his own

protection and slept with it under his pillow. On the night of the arrest, Shpyakin was dressed in a suit and was heading for a party. He put the gun in his vehicle after a friend requested he help control people attending the party. Shpyakin was found guilty following a trial of possessing a loaded restricted firearm, unlawfully occupying a vehicle knowing it contained a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon and drug possession. Karp said Thursday that his client has a dated criminal record, and claimed the 911 call was just a ploy by someone with a grudge against Shpyakin and seeking to cause him trouble. Karp noted that police never recovered any spent shell casings from the area where the shooting allegedly occurred, and noted that nobody in the neighbourhood reported hearing gunshots. But police found gun residue on Shpyakin after his arrest, a sign he’d recently ﬁred a gun.

He said its 22 recommendations on changes to airport operations are “reasonable.” “The issue is not going to be resolved overnight.” NAV Canada is the private capital corporation that operates Canada’s civil air navigation service, and controls arrival and departure routes while working for the federal government. “There’s a bit of a disconnect between the people, meaning the government and Transport Canada right down to the electorate, and the actual operation of aircraft in the skies (by NAV Canada).” A significant part of the problem, Jampolsky believes, is the commuter planes that fly over the heart of the city, and whether those planes need to be re-routed. “Basically what we’re calling for is that aircraft instead of flying (from the south) straight over central Richmond... (planes) would instead come down the corridor above Highway 99 where it would be less disruptive.” Float plane operation is a big issue for people in West Richmond, and in particular those living in the Thompson area. “They’ve got float planes flying over their homes at 300, 400, 500 feet.”

A multi-million-dollar ground run-up enclosure which would allow aircraft engines to be tested at full throttle without directing the noise at Richmond’s populace, is also on the task force wish list, along with requiring airlines to use the latest-generation of quieter aircraft for overnight departures and landings. Dhaliwal said since the airplane routes were changed, some homes that were previously unaffected have been suddenly hit by noise from planes ﬂying thousands of feet overhead. “Noise is a health issue,” he said. “Modern cities already have found acute health effects from nighttime aircraft noise exposure on populations. This is why I brought this to the attention of stakeholders that we should take this to the transport committee to study this issue.” There’s a lack of public input into the decisions made by Transport Canada, NAV Canada and the Vancouver International Airport Authority as it relates to airport operations and the coming and going of aircraft. And those three organizations need to communicate better, he said. The committee will put together a report that will be presented to the House of Commons.

Drivers not getting it: police by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Drivers aren’t getting the message that driving recklessly or while under the inﬂuence of alcohol isn’t acceptable. That’s according to RCMP Supt. Norm Gaumont, who this week released the latest ﬁgures from a Lower Mainlandwide Counterattack initiative. Between Dec. 3 and 6, 394 tickets were handed out for speeding, including 17 for excessive speeding that resulted in vehicles being impounded. There were 165 seatbelt infractions during a time when there’s a slight upT H E

The City of Richmond is planning to shell out a large chunk of change on infrastructure next year with more than half the proposed 2011 capital budget earmarked for things like road improvements, water main replacements and green energy. On Tuesday, council’s finance committee endorsed a move to spend $60.6 million on 72 projects. Fifty-one per cent of the budget is dedicated to infrastructure; 19 per cent goes to equipment; 13 per cent to parks; nine per cent to land; seven per cent to building; and one per cent to childcare. Highlights include spending $4 million to develop a geothermal heat system in the Alexandra district; $3.4 million to create parks; $5 million on land acquisitions; and $7.7 million to replace nine kilometres of water mains. The budget also sets aside $1.2 million to replace Richmond FireRescue vehicles; $3.3 million to install water meters; $2.7 million for Westminster Highway improvements; and $1.2 million for Nelson Road improvements. Seven projects totalling $4.1 million have been deferred due to lack of funds or a low priority ranking. Among those are Shell Road street lighting; dock replacement at the McDonald Beach boat launch; new street lights in the Richmond Gardens subdivision; and lane upgrades north and south of Williams Road between No. 4 and No. 5 roads. Council asked staff to provide more information on the interurban tram restoration, conversion of the Minoru RCMP building, the City Centre Community Centre and the completion of Lansdowne Road before the capital budget is put to a council vote Dec. 13.

tick in the number of seatbelt-related deaths. “Approximately 40 per cent of our fatalities are the the result of not wearing a seatbelt or using a child restraint device,” he said. Some 66 drivers were handed prohibitions or suspensions for driving while impaired. Of those, 24 drivers received three-day prohibitions, 24 received 90day prohibitions and three were charged criminally with impaired driving. During enforcement at intersections, 114 tickets were issued for a variety of infractions, including disobeying trafﬁc lights, failing to stop, as well as left and right turn violations.

Man, 21, pleads guilty to child porn possession A young California man caught with child sex abuse images on his laptop computer didn’t take long to plead guilty after being arrested at the airport. Kegan MacKenzie Demant, 21, was flying through Vancouver International Airport on Dec. 3 when a Canada Border Services agent pulled him aside and searched through his laptop computer. Agents found disturbing images that led them to contact police, said RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley. Demant pled guilty to possession of child pornography and was sentenced Tuesday to 14 days in prison by Richmond provincial court Judge Ron Fratkin. Demant was also ordered to submit a sample of his DNA for a federal registry. —Martin van den Hemel

Dragging death probe concluded A coroner’s inquest into the dragging death of a 53-year-old man by a transit bus in Delta has called for tighter controls on methadone dispensing to addicts and better handling of mentally ill people by hospitals.

The inquest determined Sandhu was battling mental illness and substance abuse. Sandhu was hit by a car around 11 p.m. as he walked across Highway 17. The driver of the car pulled over and called the police. But when he returned to the site he didn’t ﬁnd a body. A Coast Mountain bus had driven by and managed to pick up the pedestrian in the undercarriage. The bus travelled into Richmond, and after six kilometres, the bus driver discovered Sandhu’s body. — Black Press

Confessions of an ‘underground’ consumer

Shades of Green Arzeena Hamir

couple of littleknown facts about me are about to be revealed. First, few people, other than my mom and my husband, know that I am a terrible liar.

When confronted, my eyes get all twitchy, I start hyperventilating and before I know it, I have to blurt out the truth. Even if I try, those who know me can tell by the tone of my voice that I’m lying. So, as you can imagine, I try not to be in situations that force me to do so. This brings me to my next revelation: I’ve broken the law and I may even, by the end of this column, be encouraging others to do the same. Speeding ticket? Nope. Littering? Never. What did I do? I drank raw milk. And I liked it. To put some context around this scandal, since March of this year, I found that I was unable to consume any dairy

products, not even the locallysourced organic milk from Avalon. Instead, my alternative is imported soy, almond or hemp, usually packaged in awful, one-time-use cartons. For me, to not be able to eat dairy products is a pretty big deal. I’ve been a vegetarian for over 25 years and dairy products made up a huge portion of my protein intake. I’ve had to say goodbye to a whole range of foods, including most Italian dishes (pesto without parmesan?), creamy desserts, and most Mexican meals, apart from rice and beans. The food I miss the most, however, is masala chai—the milky, spicy tea that I drink almost daily during the

winter. After hearing about my distress, a friend offered to deliver some raw milk to see if I would tolerate it. If you haven’t heard of “raw milk” it’s basically what all milk was prior to the 1950s: unpasteurized and full cream. Health Canada views raw milk as a health hazard, citing the fact that it has the potential to carry TB, salmonella and E. coli. It’s illegal to sell it or even give it away. But, after trying it for breakfast three days in a row without the subsequent tummy trouble, I’d much prefer to drink raw milk from a local cow than import a non-dairy replacement from

thousands of miles away. It just doesn’t make sense to attach all that carbon onto my diet so that I don’t have to take my cereal dry. And, knowing that there are risks associated with drinking raw milk, you would think that I, as an adult, should be able to make that decision. But, apparently not. Health Canada, in all of its wisdom, OK’s the sale of tobacco in Canada, with all its related health costs, but refuses to allow consenting adults to purchase unpasteurized milk. So, people like me who cannot tolerate any dairy other than raw, have to pretty much break the law in order to do so.

There are now a number of cow-shares across the country. When you become a member, you purchase part of a dairy cow. Milk is a “dividend” from owning the share. Recently, a Chilliwack farmer was found in contempt of court for distributing milk this way. So, the raw milk movement has really moved “underground” and unless you already know someone who’s accessing the milk, it’s almost impossible to ﬁnd. But, I’m hoping that when ordinary folk, like you and me, begin speaking out, it’ll make a difference. In the meantime, I totally admit that I drank raw milk and I hope to be able to do it again!

letters Editor: Re: “Province is ‘deeply committed’ to helping people in need,” Letters, Dec. 2. I do not agree with the statement that John Yap made about our province being deeply committed to helping people in need. My daughter was diagnosed with a form of autism when she was very young and getting help from what was then called the Ministry of Children and Families. She is now living with the bare minimum, can’t ﬁnd work, and was denied the persons with disabilities application twice. She is struggling daily having her disability. She suf-

fers from anxiety and depression, yet there is no help out there for her now that she is an adult. Government have dropped the ball on helping her. She needs help from the ministry and does not even get a designation that others are entitled to because autism is a silent disability. She struggles daily with it, and could not even ﬁll out the forms required to complete the application for persons with disability. Yap has the nerve to tell me the province is committed. I will believe that when I see it. Rose McQueen Richmond

Editor: An open letter to Jenny Kwan. I was most intrigued to hear you cry for the loss of democratic process within the NDP. Democracy works on a simple majority and 13 out of 33 does not add up to a majority in any organization. What I deduct, however, is a political organization (party) that is so structurally weak that it cannot live up to its own principles and values. In any event, it appears you have some learning to do. Let me suggest you might want to take some lessons from Carole James about grace and dignity. But, then again, one must be guided by the principle of acting for the benefit of the greater good—not a self-serving, political agenda. Oh, and by the way, some math lessons might help with your addition. Michael McCoy Vancouver

Society is best served when politicians listen and make decisions for us Editor: In a recent letter, John McCrossan advocated electronic voting to put the “demo” back into democracy. He says “most elderly residents have no knowledge” of the updated ofﬁcial community plan. He would have been closer to the truth if he had left out the word elderly. He went on to include the stunning original concept that ChineseCanadians struggle to understand the “subtle meanings” of city hall proposals. I have no idea what he means by that, and I’m sure other ethnic Canadians as well as those of us who were born here have similar difﬁculties. I served three terms on council and spent a minimum of 30 to 40 hours per week reading volumes of material and discussing issues that came before council and its committees. Even then I often wished I had

more time to research some topics. The average citizen has neither the time nor the interest to do what a conscientious councillor does to make decisions in the best interests of Richmond. Society is best served when those who govern inform themselves, listen and learn and then make decisions. They are never going to please everyone because that is an impossibility, but at least it is a more informed decision than you could possibly get if everyone had a button to push. Direct democracy with a high level of popular power sounds wonderful in theory, but when you look at where it has been tried through initiatives— California for example—it has created chaos and made responsible government almost impossible.

Curling promotes inclusion by Don Fennell Sports Editor In his capacity as board chair of the Richmond Centre for Disability, Vince Miele spends a lot of time promoting inclusion, independence and empowerment. He does pretty much the same thing—with equal passion— when it comes to wheelchair curling. Miele hasn’t been curling that long, but since taking up the game has found it to embrace all the qualities he believes such an activity should. “It’s an easy sport to play with able-bodied people,” he said. “I play once a week with folks from WorkSafeBC, and I also curl once a week in Marpole.” Since 2007, Miele, through the Richmond Centre for Disability, has helped to organize an annual International Wheelchair Curling Bonspiel. The 2010 edition was held Dec. 1 to 4 at the Richmond Curling Club. Eight teams played in the event,

including defending Paralympic champion Canada as well as a

second Canadian team. Korea entered two teams, B.C. one, Oregon one, and ﬁnally a team represented the RCD including Miele. All the teams were made up of male and female players. “I think it’s a great opportunity for wheelchair curlers to play with some elite players, especially when we’re still trying to grow the sport,” said Miele. “And this year we succeeded in bringing out some players who’d never competed before. A woman who played a game for the RCD

team was so excited she said her heart was beating fast. She was so happy to be on the same ice as Team Canada and Korea, which had competed in the recent Paralympics.” Miele also appreciates the fact that players, whether they are new to curling or seasoned veterans, can participate in and enjoy the game to the same level. It doesn’t even matter what level of disability someone has—they’re all equal once they get out on the ice. Miele expects the International Wheelchair Curling Bonspiel to not only continue, but expand. “Hopefully, we’ll get more sponsorship and be able to offer additional cash to give incentive to teams to come from further away, such as Europe.” There is one notable difference between able-bodied and wheelchair curling. In the latter, there is no sweeping. But Miele, chuckling, says “that’s just an admission of imperfection.”

Don Fennell photo Richmond Sockeye Jake Roder digs for the puck as it bounces wide of the Grandview net during Paciﬁc International Hockey League action Thursday at Minoru Arena. Roder scored twice to pace the Sockeyes to a 5-2 victory.

by Don Fennell Sports Editor The annual HSBC Cheer and Dance Championships have a new home. After being held for the ﬁrst decade at the University of B.C., the event is set to make its debut this weekend at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Richmond’s Panther Cheer Athletics, led by Stephanie Ken-

nedy and Dawn Silver, will host the 11th edition of the championships from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday (Dec. 11). Hosting the cheer and dance championships at the oval has enabled organizers to expand the event, and to make it an even more exciting experience for athletes and spectators. “We have grown again and are excited to welcome 61 teams and 985 athletes,” says Kennedy.

“We also have 20 local artisans coming to sell their wares.” A stadium-like setting will provide seating for more than 1,000 spectators, while athletes will be able to compete on a nine-strip sprung competition ﬂoor and a nine-strip non-sprung warm-up ﬂoor. The competitions will be held simultaneously in a double-panel system.

Kelsey’s leadership taking HSBC Basketball Classic to new heights by Don Fennell Sports Editor Howard Kelsey is a basketball junkie, dedicated to taking the game to new heights wherever and whenever possible. Eleven years ago, he and some like-minded hoop colleagues thought an invitational tournament would be a good way to launch the annual B.C. high school basketball season. Now, following the immense success of the HSBC Basketball Classic in Greater Vancouver, which is on through Saturday, its expansion to other parts of the country seems immanent. “We’ve had Vancouver (11 years) and Calgary (six years) operating well, and Edmonton just

needs the sponsorship infrastructure,” says Kelsey. “Toronto also seems a natural. Each could host their own Classic, as Vancouver and Calgary do.” “There was a preseason niche to create excitement and a buzz, with a big-time delivery,” said Kelsey of the HSBC Classic in Vancouver, which he co-founded with his brother Doug. “Our motto was under promise, over deliver.” Kelsey’s association with the roundball game has been long and productive. After graduating from then-Vancouver city champion Point Grey High School, he went on to play for Canada’s national team for 11 seasons and helped lead them to the 1983

world championship and to fourth in the

1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics. Kelsey

McANDLESS, Edith Aug 31, 1911 - Dec 7, 2010 After 99 years, 3 months and 7 days, Edith (Mummy Mac) McAndless’ earthly journey came to an end. She departed this world leaving as much love as possible in her tracks. Mac didn’t miss one opportunity to give everyone in her path a hug, or say a kind word to all those she met. Mummy Mac was truly an inspiration to her family upon whom she lavished much love and attention. She will now be reunited with her husband Jack (2005) and son John (2000). Forever missing their best friend will be son Patrick and daughter-inlaw Sherri as well as grandchildren Kali, Taylor, Susanne, Brock and Blake McAndless.

Cookies & Carols Jingle Bells

He got into a drifted bank and we got upsot (Chorus)

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh, Over the ﬁelds we go, laughing all the way. Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight. Chorus Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride And soon Miss Fanny Bright, was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot;

Away in a Manger Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head. The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes. I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee to-night. For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth.

A day or two ago, the story I must tell I went out on the snow, and on my back I fell; A gent was riding by, in a one-horse open sleigh He laughed as there I sprawling lie but quickly drove away (Chorus) Now the ground is white, go it while you’re young Take the girls tonight, and sing this sleighing song; Just get a bob-tailed bay, two-forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! you’ll take the lead (Chorus)

And stay by my side until morning is nigh. Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay. Close by me forever, And love my I pray.

Once you’ve made the cookies, the fun part of decorating can begin.

Bless all the dear children, In thy tender care. And take them to heaven, To be with thee there.

For busy moms or dads, these slice-and-bake logs are a cinch to make. Let the kids have a ﬁeld day making them look like Christmas. Number of servings: 3 1/2 to 4 dozen cookies. Recipe from Joy of Cooking: Christmas Cookies by Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rombauer Becker and Ethan Becker.

How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of his heaven. No ear may hear his coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him, still The dear Christ enters in. Where children pure and happy Pray to the blessed Child, Where misery cries out to thee, Son of the mother mild; Where charity stands watching And faith holds wide the door, The dark night wakes, the glory breaks, And Christmas comes once more. O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us to-day. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell;

O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel! Silent Night Silent night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin mother and child. Holy infant so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night, holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight, Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavely hosts sing alleluia; Christ the Saviour, is born! Christ the Saviour, is born! Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love’s pure light Radiant beams from thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth. Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

Icebox Sugar Cookies

375 ml (1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour 7 ml (1 1/2 tsp) baking powder 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt 160 ml (2/3 cup) unsalted butter, softened 160 ml (2/3 cup) sugar 1 large egg 10 ml (2 tsp) vanilla 1 ml (1/4 tsp) finely grated lemon zest (optional) Thoroughly stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until very fluffy and smooth. Add egg, vanilla and lemon zest and continue beating. Beat in the flour mixture until just smoothly incorporated. Cover and refrigerate until slightly firm, 20 to 30 minutes. Place the dough on a long sheet of wax paper. With lightly oiled hands, shape into an even, 28 cm (11-inch) long log. Roll up the wax paper, twisting the ends to keep from unrolling. Place on a tray and freeze until completely frozen, at least 3 hours. Use immediately or transfer to an airtight plastic bag and freeze for up to 1 month. To bake: preheat the oven to 190 ºC (375 ºF). Lightly grease cookie sheets. Carefully peel the wax paper off the log. Cut into 0,25 cm (1/8 inch) thick slices, then immediately transfer the slices to sheets, spacing about 5 cm (2 inches) apart. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, on the upper oven rack for 7 to 10 minutes, or until cookies are golden all over and just slightly darker around the edges The longer the baking time, the crisper the cookies. Transfer sheets to wire racks and let cookies firm up slightly. Then, transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely. Store, airtight, for 3 weeks, or freeze for up to 2 months.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. Refrain

And by the light of that same star Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. Refrain

This star drew nigh to the northwest, O’er Bethlehem it

took it rest, And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay. Refrain

Then entered in those wise men three Full reverently upon their knee, And offered there in his presence

Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. Refrain Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord; That hath made heaven and earth of naught, And with his blood mankind hath bought. Refrain

Come and join us for a great community celebration of Christmas with MLA Linda Reid, representatives from City Council and many community churches, agencies and organizations, with the Salvation Army Band. Special Guests: Gospel Singer Sibel Thrasher & Storyteller Astrid Varnes.

Technically not a cookie, but cream puffs make a delicious holiday treat.

Easy Cream Puffs The secret is using instant pudding mix to create a simple cream filling. Avoid opening the oven door while puffs are baking to prevent them from deflating. Vary the recipe depending upon your personal tastes, including dipping the puffs in chocolate, or topping them with cherry pie filling. The options are endless. Makes up to 25 puffs. For the puff shells: 1 cup water 1/2 cup butter 1 cup all-purpose flour 4 eggs 1/4 teaspoon salt For the filling: 2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant vanilla (or chocolate) pudding 2 cups heavy cream 1 cup milk Preheat oven to 425 F. Mix filling ingredients in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator to set up. In a large pot on the stove top, bring water and butter to a boil. Stir in the flour and salt until the dough forms a ball. Remove the pot from heat. Stir in one egg at a time until all the eggs are incorporated. Drop tablespoons of the batter onto an non-greased cookie sheet (or larger balls if you desire larger cream puffs); place in oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until centers of the puff shells are dry and the outsides are golden brown. When the shells are cool, cut in half and fill, or use a pastry bag to pipe in the filling. Dust with powdered sugar to serve, drizzle with chocolate, or use your topping of choice.

Winter Wonderland Sleigh bells ring, are you listening, In the lane, snow is glistening A beautiful sight, We’re happy tonight. Walking in a winter wonderland. Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song, As we go along, Walking in a winter wonderland.

Frosty the Snowman Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul, With a corncob pipe and a button nose, And two eyes made out of coal. Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say, He was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day. There must have been some magic in that Old silk hat they found. For when they placed it on his head, He began to dance around. O, Frosty the snowman Was alive as he could be, And the children say he could laugh And play just the same as you and me. Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go. Thumpetty thump thump,

These cookies—recipe courtesy of marthastewart.com—look like little snow-covered mountains. They will keep for up to a week stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

1 cup butter, softened 1 cup sugar 1 egg 2 Tbsp orange juice 1 Tbsp vanilla 2-1/2 cups ﬂour 1 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup all-purpose ﬂour 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 4 teaspoons instant espresso 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/8 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 2/3 cup packed lightbrown sugar 1 large egg 4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled 1 tablespoon milk Confectioners’ sugar, for coating In a medium bowl, sift together ﬂour, cocoa, espresso, baking powder, and salt.

Martha Stewart’s recipe for this Christmas treat is sure to please.

With an electric mixer, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg until well combined; mix in cooled chocolate. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture; beat in milk until just combined. Flatten dough into a disk; wrap in plastic. Freeze until firm, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl as needed during mixing. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until blended, about 1 minute. The mixture may look slightly curdled. On low speed, add the ﬂour mixture, mixing just until it is incorporated. Mix in the choco-

late chips, pecans, walnuts, and almonds until evenly distributed. Use a tablespoon to drop wellrounded tablespoonfuls of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies one sheet at a time until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are slightly colored, about 14 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then use a wide metal spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies can be stored in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to four days.
