Shelley Civkin said she’s thankful world is filled with Good Samaritans

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

Normally, columnist Shelley Civkin re-counts the harrowing tales she reads about in books as she writes reviews for The Rich-mond Review.

On Thursday afternoon, at 4:12 p.m., the drama unfolded mere metres in front of her car, as Civkin, the communications offi cer for Richmond Public Library, swerved to dodge the burning wreckage of the plane that belly-fl opped before her eyes on Russ Baker Way near Gilbert Road.

It’s been days since her narrow brush with death, but she’s still rattled to the point that sleep has been hard to come by.

Even recounting the deadly crash that claimed the life of the plane’s pilot brought her to tears on Monday.

Civkin was headed home from the Rich-mond Public Library, and a little behind schedule, and told her husband Harvey as much during a brief telephone conversa-

tion.That bit of tardiness might well have saved

her life.After crossing the Dinsmore bridge, and

sliding into the right lane intending to head northbound on Russ Baker Way, Civkin’s timing seemed fortunate as there was no traffi c to slow her down.

As she readied to merge onto Russ Baker Way, she couldn’t believe her eyes as the plane came crashing down, skidded across the road less than a car length in front of her, leaving a trail of burning liquid and thick black smoke, dousing the interior of her car with the overpowering stench of jet fuel.

She instinctively jerked her steering wheel to the right, and veered to the side of the road to avoid the fl ames. She called 911 as she sat shaking and hyperventilating in her car, trying to piece together what just hap-pened.

At the side of the road, she was unable to reach her husband, so she called her sister who urged her to drive to the nearby Delta Airport Hotel, and sit down in the lobby to collect herself.

When she told hotel staff what had hap-pened, she was moved by the way she was treated.

Halloween grad ‘prank’ for a good cause

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

In the chill of the morning after Halloween, Grade 12 students barricaded the doors at Hugh McRoberts Secondary. But this wasn’t

an ordinary grad prank.The barricade was a collage of cans fi lled

with food and destined for the needy, part of a two-week-long Halloween for Hunger cam-paign.

From Page 1Student trick-or-treaters were en-

couraged to collect cans—not just candy—on Halloween night, and food will continue to be collected this week at the school. The Tuesday morning display was built with help from teach-ers, and aimed at keeping the food drive alive.

“A lot of times, senior students do destructive graduation pranks, but this year McRoberts is determined to clear that stereotype,” said Dayah Johal,

a 17-year-old Grade 12 student who helped organize the event.

“It was a really big grad secret to get awareness and kind of pump the school up about continuing to bring cans.”

Students also raised cash by hosting a haunted house and costume fashion show—money that has bolstered the food collection. About 600 cans have been collected so far, and students are aiming for more.

Said Johal: “Six hundred is just the start.”


Candidates running for a spot on city council squared off in an all-candidates meeting yesterday (Tuesday) at the Executive Airport Plaza Hotel.

Two candidates are running for the top job of mayor and 17 candidates are running for eight councillor posi-tions. The election is Saturday, Nov. 19.

See richmondreview.com and The Richmond Review’s Friday edition for coverage.

Voters will have a second chance to hear from the candidates: Tuesday, Nov. 8 at Minoru Place Activity Centre (7660 Minoru Gate). That all-candidates forum

begins at 7 p.m. and is organized by the Richmond Centre for Disability.

Two other all-candidates forums are being planned for voters to learn more about those seeking the job of school trustee.

At 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9 trustee candidates will debate at the Richmond Cultural Centre (7700 Minoru Gate), an event organized by the Richmond Community Services Advisory Committee.

At 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 16, school candidates will gather at Richmond Secondary (7171 Minoru Blvd.) for a debate organized by Richmond Teachers’ Association, Richmond Association of School Administrators, CUPE 716 and Richmond District Parents’ Association.

‘The world is full of good people’From Page 1

“The staff of the hotel—in particular Dan,

Jose and the front desk clerk—were so kind to me. They brought me water and Kleenex and stayed close by.”

A KLM fl ight crew member named John sat beside her for more than an hour, holding her hand and helping her to try to calm down as she waited for her husband and brother-in-law to pick her up.

“I will never know how to thank these people adequately, so all I can say is God bless you all. And God bless those who ran to the crash site and got the passengers and crew out, never thinking of the danger to themselves. The world is full of good people and I’m blessed to have been helped by them. Thank you.”

Stress from a brush with death can have long-lasting impact15 per cent of injured crash victims may develop psychological difficulties


It might take some time for those who had a close brush with death during Thursday’s twin-engine plane crash to make a full recovery, according to Dr. Bill Koch, clinical professor of psychiatry at University of B.C.

Whether it’s the two people whose se-dan was clipped by the crashing Beech-craft King Air 100 with nine people on board, or Richmond Review columnist Shelley Civkin whose car missed being struck by mere metres, the trauma of the crash affects people differently.

For those exposed to a life-threatening event, half will suffer serious psycho-logical distress, while half will walk away and won’t lose sleep or miss any work. Only 10 per cent continue to suffer serious distress after a year.

Koch said people who perceive them-selves as having greater physical prow-ess, or who don’t feel physically threat-ened, may respond in a manner that is helpful during a tragedy of the sort that occurred last week.

Others who don’t feel they have the physical make-up to assist and feel shaken up, might perceive themselves as unable to make significant helpful decisions.

In neither case does it reflect on a person’s psychological wellness. Koch said.

Those heroes who ran to the plane to help “didn’t perceive themselves at risk” and “were able to focus on a task at hand,” he said.

It’s not uncommon for those who have had a close-encounter with death to become obsessed by the incident, to place some meaning to it, and to try to understand what it means for their future.

For those who were in the plane dur-ing the accident, and were injured, they have a 15 per cent chance of developing psychological difficulties that lasts for months or years.

Kelly Jablonski is back on his feet after induced coma, spinal surgery


As Kelly Jablonski dug his nails into the carpeting, and tried to drag his crippled legs and body away from the intense fl ames at the front of the downed plane, he suddenly came to the realization that he wasn’t going to make it and blacked out.

Moments later he was jarred awake by the sound of ambulance sirens, and felt himself being pulled from the charred wreckage of the twin-engine Beechcraft King Air 100 that had just crashed onto Russ Baker Way.

From being placed in an induced coma, to having spinal surgery, Jablonski astonished his doctors, family and friends by standing up on Monday.

The CEO of Richmond-based Ulti-mate Skateboard Distribution even posted a picture of himself on a Face-

book page where friends marvelled at his recovery and continued to cheer him on.

“Thank you from all my heart too all around the world,” Jablonski wrote. “My family and close friends are amazing but a tad overwhelmed.

“Going to bed became easier when the fear of losing breath with lungs fi lled with ..... we just will Call it really bad ass lung fi lling. 3 days and 16 or so mouths later recovery is now taken the next lev!

Jablonski’s close friend Kevin Harris told The Richmond Review Tuesday that Jablonski’s improvement is noth-ing short of a miracle.

Jablonski was seated directly be-hind the pilot and co-pilot when the plane went down on Thursday at 4:12 p.m.

“He’s doing fantastic,” Harris said.

Jablonski recalls every detail about the accident.

“It was scary to listen to it,” Har-ris said.

After Jablonski came out of surgery and had family at his side, breathing tubes in his mouth meant he had to communicate by scribbling on pieces of paper.

Jablonski feared closing his eyes at night, and kept telling his family and friends that he loved them, and begged them not to leave.

“I was way more concerned that night about the emotional recovery,” Harris said.

Inhaling water, smoke and fi re retar-dant seriously damaged Jablonski’s lungs, reducing their oxygen capacity to less than 10 per cent.

Today, it’s up to 97 per cent.“I think he’s going to recover 100

per cent,” Harris said. “This whole thing to me, it’s a miracle.”

On Monday, Jablonski was moved out of Vancouver General Hospital’s intensive care unit.

“He’s so grateful to be alive.”After the plane came to a stop,

Jablonski managed to get out of his seat, but collapsed to the fl oor, his legs for some reason useless.

So he tried to crawl out, and could feel the heat on his legs, and the suf-focating smell of jet fuel.

Then his clothing started to burn from his waist down, Harris said.

Described by Harris as a strong-willed, athletic guy, Jablonski used every ounce of effort to get out of the plane.

“He tried his best and thought it was over.”

The fact that passers-by risked their lives to run into a burning airplane to pull Jablonski and other passengers out was amazing, Harris said.

“They ran into a burning plane. Un-believable.”

Crash claimed pilot

North Vancouver’s Luc Fortin, 44, died of injuries suffered when a small twin-engine plane clipped a car as it crashed around 4:12 p.m. Thursday after earlier reporting trou-ble following take-off from Vancouver International Airport.

B.C. Coroner Service’s Owen Court said Fortin died around 9 p.m. after suffering fire-related injuries. Vancouver Coastal Health said one person from the plane remains in the intensive care unit in critical condition. Three more are in serious, but stable condition and two others are expected to be released from hospital this week.

The Northern Thunderbird Air Beech King Air 100 returned to YVR after experiencing difficul-ty. The plane crashed onto Russ Baker Way at Gilbert Drive, just metres short of the runway.

According to the RCMP, there were seven passengers on Flight 204, as well as two crew.

BC Ambulance superintendent Pascal Rodier said the plane clipped a car during the crash, but neither of the two occupants of the vehicle was seriously injured.

The small plane crashed and was on fire, sending huge plumes of smoke into the air that were vis-ible from miles away.

Most of the fi rst batch of 60 suspects facing charges for their involvement in the June 15 Stanley Cup riot are from Metro Vancouver suburbs, with more than a

third of them hailing from Surrey.

Vancouver Police De-partment Chief Jim Chu said 163 charges are be-ing recommended against 60 people.

Twenty-one alleged riot-ers are from Surrey, while

12 are from Vancouver, nine are from Burnaby and four are from Maple Ridge.

Two each are from Ab-botsford and Delta, while one each is from Richmond, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Langley, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Victoria,

Courtenay, West Kelowna and Seattle.

Rioters torched police cars and other vehicles and looted stores in downtown Vancouver after the Boston Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the Cup fi nal.

“The people who ram-paged that night must be held accountable for their actions,” Chu said, calling it the “largest crime spree in the history of B.C.”

Onlookers shot video and photos on cellphones and posted them on social media, fueling what has become a massive crowd-

sourced police investiga-tion.

The VPD has asked Crown counsel to charge all 60 ini-tial suspects with partici-pating in a riot, while many also face charges including mischief, assault or break and enter.

“This is just the beginning as we expect to announce more arrests in the weeks and months ahead.”

Several hundred people could ultimately be pros-ecuted, he said.

The VPD has been under fi re in recent months be-cause no suspects had yet been charged, despite the

fact dozens of them had come forward and con-fessed. Chu defended the VPD decision not to “rush cases to court” and instead conduct a “thorough” in-vestigation.

Chu said one 21-year-old Vancouver Island rioter who confessed after being outed on Facebook would have been charged only for one count of mischief involving a single car had police moved quickly.

But he said the India-napolis lab analyzing thou-sands of hours of video has since determined the man damaged six vehicles and

broke into three stores that night, resulting in multiple charges. A database at the lab is able to quickly scan a suspect against 15,000 identifi ed criminal acts re-corded on video.

A Burnaby man with a prior record was caught because of blood DNA he left at the scene.

Chu said the database then found video of the suspect punching some-one in the back of the head and trying to hide his face as he looted a store. The man faces charges of as-sault causing bodily harm, break and enter, disguise with intent to commit an offence and participating in a riot.

Premier Christy Clark announced Monday $353 million in new school projects across B.C.—including an addition to a local school where an addition has just been completed.

At a press conference in Surrey, Clark announced funding for 19 new projects.

Although planning and design work has yet to be completed, Richmond East MLA Linda Reid said the addition at Henry An-derson Elementary could pro-vide space for as many as 300 new students, with up to 10 new classrooms built.

The early estimated cost of the project is $5 million, she said.

“This is very exciting news for the children and staff at Henry An-derson Elementary, who can look forward to having more space in their school. It’s a welcome invest-ment into the Richmond school community,” said Reid in a news release.

Just one month ago students at Anderson moved into a new four-classroom addition.

According to school district staff reports, the $1.7-million project was a result of discussions with the province on accommodating full-day kindergarten, which be-gan at Anderson in September.

The biggest investment is in Sur-

rey, where two new elementary schools and two additions will be built, along with four site pur-chases for future schools.

Robin Austin, the NDP’s edu-cation critic, welcomed the an-nouncement, but said it won’t solve all problems facing growing school districts.

He said such districts have been squeezed for space since the Liberals cut capital spending for education by 47 per cent a decade ago.

“We’ve still got a long way to go in parts of the province that have seen a huge growth in students, or even an appreciable growth. But this is a step in the right di-rection.”

Man hurt in early morning stabbing


A 24-year-old Burnaby man suffered life-threat-ening injuries, but after surgery is expected to recover, following an attack outside Lansd-owne Centre Saturday morning.

Around 5 a.m., Rich-mond Mounties were called out to a report of an assault with weap-ons outside the shop-ping mall, where they found the Burnaby man had been stabbed.

The suspects in the at-tack apparently fled pri-or to police’s arrival.

Richmond RCMP’s serious crime unit is investigating, and in-terviewing a number of witnesses in order to determine what hap-pened.

Anyone with informa-tion about the attack is asked to call the Rich-mond RCMP at 604-278-1212, or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.


Thursday’s tragic airplane crash claimed the life

of North Vancouver pilot Luc Fortin, but the outcome would no doubt have been even worse if not for the bravery displayed that clear afternoon.

Passersby were stunned to see the twin-engine plane suddenly crash onto the roadway, but in-stead of being paralyzed with fear by the flames and smoke, a handful jumped into action.

If not for the selfless acts of these heroes, the injuries of those on board the Beechcraft King Air 100 would have been much worse, if not fatal.

While we’d all like to think we could do the same, that’s simply not true.

Not everyone can be a firefighter, police officer, paramedic, doctor or nurse.

You have to be cut from a special cloth, and armed with the right personality, aptitude and self confidence in order to ignore obvious

personal hazards while coming to the side of someone in distress.

Rescuing a complete stranger is somewhat different from risking personal injury to save a loved one.

Stories about moth-ers and fathers rescuing their children with feats

of superhuman strength are not unheard of.

All a stranger has to draw on is a connection at a much more basic level; and that’s human-ity.

Nobody truly knows how they’ll respond to a horror of the type witnessed by many late

Thursday afternoon.But after the world was

shocked by the secu-rity camera footage of a two-year-old girl being run-over twice by a truck twice in China, and more than a dozen people walking by without of-fering to help as she laid dying on the streetside,

what happened Thursday is a much-need restora-tion of faith in humanity.

Thankfully, there are heroes who walk among us everyday, and whose identities will only be revealed—perhaps for the first time to them as well—when tragedy strikes.

EDITORIAL: When tragedy strikes, heroes walk among us

courtesy CTV-BC News Passersby were stunned to see the twin-engine plane suddenly crash onto the roadway, but instead of being paralyzed with fear by the fl ames and smoke, a handful jumped into action.

Survivor. Victim. These words aren’t reserved just for those who were in the burning plane that crashed last Thursday.

At the risk of sounding melodramatic, the experi-ence of having the plane crash right in front of my car was absolutely terrifying.

As the paramedics and fi remen who checked me out for shock said, anyone who witnesses a horrifi c accident fi rsthand is both a survivor and a victim.

We’re not supposed to

see planes fall out of the sky and burst into fl ames in front of us in our life-time. It’s just not normal, so our body reacts to the shock the way it should. Anything else would be abnormal.

As I left work last Thurs-day and drove over the Dinsmore Bridge, I merged quickly into the fast lane on Russ Baker Way only to see a small plane about to crash onto the road in front of me. I was very close when it crashed but I slowed down, and in a split second I knew that my choices were to drive right into the fi ery crash or quickly veer right onto the shoulder. I missed the burning jet fuel on the road by about fi ve feet. My car stunk of gasoline. Shaking and hysterical I called 911.

Unlike those brave souls who ran towards the burn-ing plane to rescue people, I sat in my car, shaking, cry-

ing and hyperventilating. I feel guilty and ashamed to say that I didn’t get out to help the people in the plane. And it’s not because I’m a little woman who wouldn’t have been physi-cally able to pull someone out. It’s because I thought the plane might burst into more fl ames and I didn’t want to die. I believe they call it survivor guilt. And I bet I’m not the only witness who’s feeling it.

Some people might think I’m over-reacting to the crash and say it could have been worse. But those sorts of comparisons only negate and invalidate the reality, which is that I survived a plane crash by mere seconds. Had I left work 10 seconds earlier, my car would have been incinerated by the fl ames. This is not an experience anyone should downplay. It’s traumatic and terrifying and I’m sure I’ll be replay-

ing it in my head for weeks, if not months to come.

All I can do is thank the kind souls that helped me in the aftermath. They are truly angels. And to the brave souls who ran to-wards the burning plane to rescue those inside, words are inadequate. So I’ll just say God bless you.

I read this somewhere and it’s a good reminder:

“Help people who cannot help you. Help without the expectation of return. Help many people. Do the right thing the right way.”

Is there a book review in here? Yes. Read Kindness: Changing People’s Lives for the Better by Rabbi Zelig Pliskin. It’ll remind you of what’s important in life.

Shelley Civkin is com-munications offi cer with Richmond Public Library. Her column appears every Wednesday in The Rich-mond Review.

lettersWhat to do with the Garden City landsEditor:

People say, “What should Richmond be do-ing with the Garden City lands?”

I say, “Let’s ask the lands.”

The lands say, “Steward us in the ALR as parkland for agriculture, recreation and conservation for community wellness.”

I’m encouraged that more of us are listening to the lands, starting by looking at them.

In the concept map of the lands (rigth), we’re looking at them from a satellite view. The underlying photo is many shades because the wet-ness varies, along with the soil and ecology.

When we go from part to part on foot, we marvel at the many kinds of plants that fed, warmed and healed First Nations people and settlers. With a guide like Michael Wolfe, who knows the language of the lands, it is both a walk in the past and a whole new world.

The concept map com-bines Michael’s ongoing observations with other best expertise—from Kwantlen Polytechnic Uni-versity’s Dr. Kent Mullinix and the Canadian Sphag-num Peat Moss Associa-tion, for instance.

By a happy accident of history, this heritage has survived in the centre of our city. If we humbly listen to the lands with respect, they will be a legacy from all of us. We saved them together, and we can steward them together. For more on this topic, read “Listening to the Lands = PARC” at GardenCityLands.Word-press.com.

Editor:On behalf of the proud men

and women of the Richmond Firefighters Association, I would like to clarify some of the points in the recent article about our candidate questionnaire (“Candidates handed wish list from firefighters,” Oct. 25).

Given enough time to respond to the paper’s request for an interview, I would have explained that as the firefight-

ers who risk our lives and our safety every day to protect the lives and property of the citizens of this beautiful city, we’re in a unique position during the civic elections to have a voice in the election process; to bring key issues forward that directly affect both our citizens and the members of our association.

Our questionnaire was not a “wish list” but a tool for us to educate election candidates

about some important public safety, firefighter safety and labour relations issues that have been unaddressed for too long, and to gauge the candidates’ levels of support for these priori-ties prior to the election. This in turn assists us as we exercise our right to discuss issues of importance with those elected to represent us during the subse-quent term of council.

See Page 9

Firefighters looking to educate candidates

Kudos for the Steveston ScrambleEditor:

I thought the traffi c scramble at Moncton and No. 1 Road was a clever solution to a long-standing problem, but I am even more im-pressed with the almost fi nished product.

The wooden mooring posts with the ropes are simply brilliant. Well done to all involved.

Council has oversight on building programEditor:

Re: “Construction manager bid news to councillor,” Oct. 28.

Please allow me to clarify your recent story regarding the possibility of the city hiring a construction manag-er to assist with the project management of upcoming capital works projects.

With growth and age, the city has significant capital works needs over the coming decade. A new aquat-ics centre, new and expanded older adults centre, and a new City Centre fire hall and headquarters for Richmond Fire-Rescue have all been long discussed. Given the importance and potential costs of these projects, we need to be sure they can be delivered in the most efficient and cost effective way possible.

As part of the due diligence process, the city recently asked for expressions of interest from the construc-tion sector to gauge the merits of using a construc-tion manager model to deliver a bundle of some of our larger capital works projects. There is neither a financial nor a contractual obligation associated with the issuance of an expression of interest. It will simply allow staff to gather more accurate information on costs and options for managing our building program, before they make any recommendations to council.

The construction manager model was used with great success on the Richmond Olympic Oval ensur-ing that the project was delivered on time and under budget in spite of an overheated construction envi-ronment. Some of the benefits of using this model with a group of capital projects could include reduced procurement and construction time, a lower cost for construction manager services, and having a single construction manager responsible for the program as opposed to many different firms, thereby making the construction manager more familiar with Richmond practices and providing early cost management tools.

This process in no way reduces council’s oversight of our building program. Every year, as part of our budgeting cycle, council approves both an annual capital budget and a five-year capital plan. Most of the projects listed in the expressions of interest are already included in those plans, which have been reviewed by council. Any new capital projects that are proposed will also need to go through this planning and approval process.

Finally, the budget for each capital project must again be approved by council before it actually pro-ceeds. It is a rigorous process that ensures that spend-ing authority and responsibility rests with city council, where we carefully weigh community need and the impacts to taxpayers in all of our decisions.

Mayor Malcolm D. Brodie, Richmond

letters

From Page 8For example, firefighter staffing

levels have not kept pace with the explosive growth our city has seen in the past 30 years and the densifica-tion challenges our response times. Changes to the BC Building Code are ones that we have a vested interest in, and we’ll continue to raise these and other issues when opportunities such as these arise.

City council voted to get rid of the GVRD for bargaining in the year 2000. The fact that our contract is now almost two years out of date and the timing of our negotiations has been influenced all along by Metro Vancouver is not acceptable to us and nor should Richmond taxpayers accept it either.

We make no apologies for wanting the very best for the men, women and

children of this great City and for our men and women who work hard to protect it.

As the representative of Richmond’s professional firefighters it is not only our association’s right to stand up for our members and for public safety, it is our obligation.

Teacher Elena Steele still finds joy in guiding students in finding their voice


Singing is “her soul,” but when Elena Steele began teach-

ing the art of vocal per-formance, she felt goose-bumps.

“I never could think that teach-ing somebody could bring you as much pleasure, as much pride and as much happiness as singing,” she said.

Students of Steele’s Voice Studio will showcase their tal-ents at the 15th annual Festival of Voice concert at Gateway Theatre Saturday, Nov. 19. The concert is a chance for singing students to demonstrate what they’ve learned while giving the performers invaluable stage and concert experience.

On stage, the singers discover their strengths and weaknesses and overcome their fears,

fi nding joy in accomplishing something some never thought possible, according to the local teacher.

Steele is a native of Ukraine, where she developed her mezzo-soprano voice and en-joyed a career as a professional musician that launched at the age of 19 with the popular band Vodogray. She spent fi ve years on the road with the group, later turning to teaching.

That passion for passing on her expertise hasn’t waned, and Steele continues to teach the art to students of all ages and abilities at her Richmond studio.

“My greatest joy is to see them gain confi dence in themselves and a love for the joy of sing-ing,” she said. “I work with each student personally to develop a repertoire that would improve their technique as well as ex-press their musical tastes.”

Each singing lesson begins with facial and breathing exer-cises, along with vocal exercises and warmups. She then works with each student on their selection of songs they wish to perform at the November show.

She also teaches patience. Results, said Steele, don’t hap-pen overnight, but come with time, consistency and desire. And mistakes—they’ll inevitably happen.

“We all make them. Give your-self time. Love yourself enough to have the goal and to come slowly but surely to that—and you will be there,” she said.

Steele works with her stu-dents on all the details of their performance at Festival of Voice—from signing to stag-ing, choreography to costume. And this month she’ll celebrate her 15th year of mounting the concert.

In all, 18 singers will fi nd their way to the stage—about half of them adults. Many of her adult students have long had a dream of singing, but didn’t have the time, money or opportunity to pursue it, she said.

“When I can see that the person who [before] couldn’t produce a clear tone, standing on the stage, singing the whole song...that for me is the best reward.”

To mark the milestone concert, Steele is bringing back three of her students who performed at the fi rst Festival of Voice show 15 years ago. The audience can also expect solos, duets and group numbers, and a few surprises.

The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 for students and $30 for adults. Call the Gateway Theatre Box Offi ce at 604-270-1812 for tickets.

The Hugh Boyd Trojans are bound for the B.C. high school AA junior varsity football play-offs after a decisive 39-3 victory over the Seaquam Seahawks last Wednesday.

As such, today’s fi nal regular season game (3 p.m. kickoff at Hugh Boyd Park) versus the Eric Hamber Griffi ns won’t affect the standings as the Trojans (3-2) will fi nish in third place regardless of a win or loss. But don’t think the Trojans aren’t approaching the game seriously.

“We’re taking each game as it comes,” said Hugh Boyd coach Brock Aura. “Regardless of who we play, we want to play our game and do the little things right. The focus of our players is to play hard, no matter whether you’re fi rst or second string.”

A common theme among players on contending teams is a desire to

play for each other. It’s a trait the Trojans have demonstrated most of the season—even in the face of adversity.

The Trojans will go into their fi nal game against Hamber, and sub-sequently the playoffs, without two key players whose injuries have sidelined them for the sea-son. Receiver/cornerback Darian Lung broke his arm and running

back/linebacker Anthony Giorno (a team captain) fractured his arm playing catch. The losses heighten the importance of each player con-tributing their best, said Aura.

“We have to rally around that,” he said. “When you get the chance to play you have to step up and make the big plays.”

Aura has also shuffl ed the deck, moving Kyler Mosely from starting quarterback to tailback and Mar-cus Moldowan from wide receiver to starting pivot.

While it’s not yet certain who the Trojans will face in the opening round of the playoffs, it’s looking more and more like it will be the Robert Bateman Timberwolves. the T-Wolves (5-1) are currently second in the Eastern Conference.

Seniors surprise

Despite its early-season strug-gles, and a small roster, Hugh Boyd’s senior football team has also secured a playoff berth go-ing into its fi nal regular season game this Thursday at 2:30 p.m. versus the Handsworth Royals on the North Shore.

McMath sweeps cross-country fi nals

The R.A. McMath Wild-cats used a balance of veterans and newcomers to dominate the Rich-mond High Schools Cross-country Championships this year, winning every division and the overall title. Now, they’ll hope for similar success at next weekend’s provincials in Kelowna.

Patrick Riddell won ev-ery race by margins of up to two minutes, some-thing not seen since the days of Kajaks’ stars Evan Dunfee and Sam Pawluk. Overall, the Wildcat boys’ team displayed its depth at most grades, with only A.R. MacNeill’s Grade 11 runners challenging their dominance.

On the girls’ side, Mc-Math was helped by a strong group of young run-ners led by Montana Leon-ard, Ashley Kidd, Emma James, Colette McKenzie and Samantha Maika. Combined with seniors HIlary Schaap, McKenzie Summers and Amanda Ring, the Wildcats cruised to win after win in the race

series and the fi nals.The season saw the re-

emergence of Steveston-London with newcomers Kay Yamashita and Iris Janssen joining Michelle Ko to challenge top-ranked McMath. Another promising star of the fu-ture is H.J. Cambie Grade 9 runner Eazy Rage, who made great progress in the boys’ competition. Likewise, Richmond Christian’s Beth Frazer had some strong fi nishes as her school begins to develop its program.

At the provincials, Mc-Math’s girls’ and boys’ teams will be joined by experienced veteran Mar-cus Ribi of Richmond High. McMath’s Riddell should have a good shot at a high placing in the boys’ race, while Steven Reilly is looking for a solid result in his last high school race. Leonard, Kidd and Maika are hoping the experience they gain will help them in years to come.

After scoring fi ve pow-erplay goals in a 10-2 win over the Port Moody Black Panthers on Thursday, the Richmond Sockeyes came up empty Saturday in North Delta. But they still managed four even-strength goals to blank the Devils 4-0 in the Pacifi c International Junior Hockey League.

The two wins boosted the Sockeyes’ season totals to a league-best 11 wins in as many games. They play host to the North Vancou-ver Wolf Pack (4-6-0-1) this Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at Minoru Arenas.

The Sockeyes, who have averaged 6.7 goals per game and 0.7 against, scored twice in each of the fi rst two periods in North Delta during which they outshot the Devils 12-3 and 15-6. First star Jeremy Hamaguchi set up two of the goals by Rudi Thor-steinson and Daniel Tait. Keenan Webb and Patrick Hunter also scored goals, while goalie Jonah Imoo

made 25 saves for his fi fth shutout of the season.

Hamaguchi also paced the Sockeyes in their win

over Port Moody, scoring a hat trick and helping to set up one of two goals by Carter Popoff.

Justin Rai also had four points (two goals and two assists) for Richmond in the victory.

Defensive linemen step up bigFrom Page 12

The Trojans (2-1) are tied with the Holy Cross Crusaders for the Senior AA Varsity Southern Con-ference lead following a 14-13 overtime win over the Seaquam Seahawks last Friday. Ironically, the Trojans were six minutes away from beating Holy Cross on Oct. 15 before ultimately losing 24-21.

“We had a good base to start with, and a few kids have gotten better and helped to make a difference,” said Hugh Boyd coach Bill Haddow. “Their emergence has also eased the burden on the core group.”

Among those emerging are Ethan Goldstein and Kayden Porbeni, both de-fensive linemen.

“Neither had played much football before last year and now they’re big factors for us, and at a position that’s tough to play,” said Haddow.

Hugh Boyd will play either Robert Bateman Timberwolves or Rick Hansen Hurricanes in the opening round of the playoffs. Both 1-2 in the Eastern Conference,

the T-Wolves and Hurri-canes are scheduled to play each other in their regular season fi nale on Friday.

Haddow said it doesn’t matter which team the Trojans end up facing, he has tons of respect for both. And in the end, he said, it will come down to which team is best able to execute its game plan.

“MITZY,” #229827 SF, DMH, 2 YRS I am one beautiful and curvacious cat! I LOVE attention and will immediately seek you out. I am a very vocal cat, so I hope you don’t mind chatting because I have a lot to say. Due to my relaxed nature I wouldn’t mind a family with respectful children or pets. Because of my luscious long fur coat, I will need brushing daily so I don’t become matted. If you’re looking for a loving and playful but not overly demanding feline pal then look no further!

Harvest cheers

A bit of rain and some sour grapes couldn’t bring down the festive mood at

LuLu Island Winery’s Fall Festi-val last weekend.

Around 300 people attended the event, which aimed “to raise aware-ness about the grape har-vest and the winery itself,” said Heather Turnbull the winery’s mar-keting and development manager.

“We like to make fun things for the com-munity so that we can be a part of it,” she said.

The festival saw the release of the win-ery’s 2010 Shiraz and Pinot Noir, and its 2011 raspberry and blueberry vintages.

“I think overall everyone liked the new wines so we’re pretty happy,” Turnbull said.

Along with wine sampling, guests enjoyed barbecued hamburgers and hot-dogs and had the option of going outside with a staff member and a pair of shears to pick their own grapes.

The Orange Muscat grapes were not quite ripe yet, but people still went out to pick and sample them.

“They were really good sports,” Turnbull said.

“I think everyone really enjoyed picking the grapes,” she said.

“The only thing we wish is that the grapes had been ripe and ready because that would have been even better but you can’t predict the weather.”

Typical home will pay $524 in regional fees, up $11

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

Get ready to pay more for regional utilities – es-pecially garbage disposal – next year.

Metro Vancouver will raise the garbage tipping fee at its transfer stations Jan. 1 from $97 to $107 per tonne, an increase of more than 10 per cent.

A sluggish economy means less garbage is being generated and less tipping fees are collected, so the region has had to increase the rate to cov-er the fi xed costs of the waste-disposal system.

The Metro board on Fri-day passed a $614-million budget, which is up 1.2 per cent overall.

Water fees are rising 5.9 per cent and sewer fees go up 3.5 per cent.

But the general govern-ment part of the Metro budget actually shrank slightly, so the region will collect $2 less per average home in property tax.

“This is a fi nancially fru-gal budget with expendi-tures that come well under board-approved targets,” Delta Mayor and board chair Lois Jackson said.

The typical home will pay $524 next year in combined Metro utility fees and property tax, an increase of $11.

That per household bur-den has climbed an aver-age of six per cent a year

since 2004, when it stood at $333.

And it’s forecast to climb by roughly $40 annually to $743 per home by 2016.

Metro directors say much of the spending is driven by large but unavoidable major projects.

Work begins next year on a new ultraviolet treat-ment system for drinking water from Coquitlam Lake, which serves the eastern third of the re-gion.

Work will also start on a new $250-million seis-mically protected water tunnel under the Fraser River to serve the growing South of Fraser area and ensure the water supply there isn’t knocked out in an earthquake.

Another water tunnel at Annacis Island is estimat-ed at $430 million, part of a planned $2.3-billion package of water capital projects over the next decade.

“We’ve survived a long time with things that would go down in an

earthquake,” Metro chief administrator Johnny Car-line said.

“Now we’re having a hard look at whether we can take that kind of gamble any longer.”

Metro is also required by the federal government to upgrade its Iona and Lions Gate sewage treat-ment plants to secondary treatment, a bill estimated at $1.4 billion in the com-

ing years.North Vancouver District

Mayor Richard Walton said he’s concerned about the rising bills for households, particularly seniors on fi xed incomes.

The region will spend $5.8 million next year on corporate relations, which includes communications, media relations, external outreach and running websites.

Garbage fees soar in ‘frugal’ Metro budget

by Aileen CormackContributor

With the municipal election less than three weeks away, we should discuss what do local governments do, and how well do they do it?

The most obvious answer to the question “What do local govern-ments do?” is that they provide a very wide range of services, programs, facilities and regulations

that shape our day-to-day lives. Valuable as all these services may be, they are not the only reason for local govern-ments to exist. That rea-son is to provide a means for residents to express, debate and resolve local issues and concerns.

Municipal governments perform a political role. They provide local citi-zens with the opportunity to choose representa-tives who will make deci-sions which reflect or at least respond to the views and concerns of residents.

There is a striking similarity between the challenges and problems of 100 years and those of today. Common to both periods are concerns over the adequacy of municipal infrastructure, housing shortages and

resistance to low-income housing, concerns about rapid consumption of resources, the promo-tion of preventive health programs, conflict of interest and a feeling that changes make little difference if people and their practices remain unchanged.

Voting turnout may be low because the act of voting has little mean-ing for many citizens. By far, the most common message offered to vot-ers is “vote for me and I won’t increase your taxes.” While this is a popular thing to say, it is simplistic and probably unrealistic.

An election campaign provides an excellent opportunity to educate residents about the tough choices and excit-ing opportunities that

face our city. If some of that excitement could be communicated to the voters, they might gain an understanding of the importance and sig-nificance of casting their ballots. What we want is to develop an apprecia-tion for the political role of municipal government and the vital issues which a municipal council can help its citizens to face and manage.

Do we view our coun-cillors as trustees and believe that successful candidates should exer-cise their own judgment as to the best course of action with respect to the various issues that arise, while recognizing that the public will pass judgment on their performance at the next election? This leaves the public with a very passive role.

What about this idea for the future, we take the city hall to the public by using a municipal information booth that is staffed by councillors and taken to shopping cen-tres or community cen-tres, say once a month. I could see this as being an innovative idea that would be popular with the public and enhance the councillors image with the voters.

This is no time for coun-cillors and staff to huddle together, clutching their reports. This is a time to invite those directly affected by the difficult decisions that have to be made – the local citizens.

If we do not actively participate in our right to vote, democracy cannot continue to function.
