NEWS: Conservativesdon’t show up for debateon social justice.

It’s not exactly how Scott Lecyand his family envisioned their

move from Steveston to a newhome on St. Alban’s Road.

“I’m living beside 60 newneighbours, and I have no ideawho’s going to show up. Myother concern is we have twoyoung boys and we’re living ina nice neighbourhood, not whatI thought would be a transientneighbourhood,” said Lecy,speaking about the house nextto him that doubles as a hotel.

His first complaint to the City

of Richmond was made abouta year and a half ago, but sincethen — and fol-lowing severalmore complaints— the problemonly seems tocome and go.

After the firstcomplaint, Lecysaid a city bylawinspector wentinto the houseand dismantledlocks on thefive bedrooms and took downnumbers on the doors.

The house then went quiet fora little while.

“But gradually they ramp itup again and more and more

people comeand go,” saidLecy, who isof the opinionthe city’s bylawdepartment is toounderstaffed todeal with bylawcomplaints.

“It’s completelyinadequate,” saidLecy.

An onlinesearch found that the housewas linked to a mining com-pany that operated up north.When he started complaining,

the company sold the houseback to an individual, saidLecy.

He said the owners do notlive at the house permanently,however at one point a ladycame by with flowers and wineto apologize.

“I told her I don’t drink $11bottles of wine,” said Lecy.

“I bought the best house Icould thinking I’d have niceneighbours, not 60 coming andgoing …some of them havedumped garbage onto my sideof the fence. I freaked out onone of them, so they don’t dothat anymore,” sighed Lecy.

The Richmond campus of Kwantlen Poly-technic University (KPU) has installed

three “gender-inclusive” washrooms in abid to be more accommodating to trans-gendered and gender-non-conformingstudents and staff.

A total of nine men’s and women’s wash-rooms in high-traffic areas were installedacross KPU’s four campuses in Cloverdale,Surrey, Langley and Richmond.

The washrooms were identified for conver-sion to gender-inclusive, wheelchair-ac-cessible facilities, which involved replacingsignage, modifying sink and counter heightsand adding grab bars, shelves and hooks.

Seven washrooms are single-stall private

facilities; two have multiple stalls.“KPU has a long history of being a proudly

open-access institution, and this is anextension of that philosophy, that commit-ment and that pledge,” said Dr. Alan Davis,president and vice-chancellor of KPU.

The need for gender-inclusive washroomswas identified by the president’s diversityand equity committee, which was formed in2012 with support from the student groupPride Kwantlen and the recommendationsof an internal strategic planning initiative.

“Everyone deserves a comfortable, ac-cessible public washroom facility,” said Dr.Diane Naugler, director of the president’sdiversity and equity committee at KPU andassociate dean in the Faculty of Arts.

“I’m proud of our committee and howthe university is creating a gender-inclusiveenvironment.”

All three opposition parties in Richmond feltthe cold shoulder from Conservative can-

didates Alice Wong and Kenny Chiu, neitherof whom attended a federal election forumTuesday night at Gilmore United Church.

The 120-strong, senior-laden crowd hadexpected Wong and Kenny Chiu to speakto issues of social justice, the topic of theevening, which was organized by the church,Richmond Poverty Response Committee andRichmond’s University Women’s Club (CFUW)in the run-up to the Oct. 19 election.

Wong and Chiu both declined to attend,saying they “can’t attend every meeting.”

“For democracy to work, we need to makesure each candidate is present. In this kind ofmeeting, it is typical for the Conservatives notto show up,” said Liberal candidate LawrenceWoo.

The Greens, Liberals and the NDP took theopportunity to make promises on improv-ing the likes of healthcare, student debt andenvironmental protection.

Liberal candidate Joe Peschisolido saidone of the keys to healthcare delivery ismore collaboration and engagement with theprovinces.

NDP candidate Scott Stewart said austeritymeasures in healthcare spending “began withthe Liberals and continued with the Conserva-tives.”

Peschisolido has maintained his Liberalshave a more realistic approach to spending byrunning “minor” deficits for social programs.

“If you want to spend money, you have toget it from somewhere,” said Peschisolido.

The issue of affordable housing was alsoraised.

“The NDP will restore federal subsidized

housing,” said NDP candidate Jack Trovato.The Greens would commit similar measures

to restore co-op housing, said Green can-didate Vincent Chiu, who told the audiencehis generation is experiencing “shattereddreams” in the wake of growing post-second-ary debt.

With the Greens proposing a new set of

polluter pay taxes and greater corporate taxes(to 2009 levels) Vincent Chiu was the onlycandidate to state that his party would “im-mediately” restore international aid spendingto United Nations standards of 0.7 per cent ofGDP (Canada spends 0.25 per cent).

Candidates were asked to comment on theTories’ pledge to set up a police hotline for“barbaric cultural practices” involving women.

“Why is this an issue and not the missingand murdered Aboriginal women?” askedStewart, whose NDP has pledged to investi-gate the matter immediately with a cabinet-level committee led by the prime minister.

! Asian malls hosted all-candidatemeetings over the weekend

Last Thursday, Wong did attend a forum onseniors organized by CARP chair Geoff Cow-man, who said Conservative cuts to the CBCand Canada Post were most on the minds ofseniors.

Over the weekend, all parties except for theGreens attended a Chinese-speaking forumhosted by Fairchild TV and Talentvision atAberdeen Centre. Vancouver East candidateJenny Kwan represented the NDP whileRichmond candidates Woo and Kenny Chiutook to the podium. The forum focused onmarijuana, citizenship laws, Canada-Chinarelations and immigration policies. There wasalso a meeting at the Yaohan Centre.

Richmond Centre for Disability will behosting a debate tonight (Wednesday) at theMinoru Place Activity Centre from 6 - 8 p.m.

Lecy: Guests discreet, but still guests

! Scott Lecy looks on with bewilderment at the house next door to his, which he says has beenturned into a hotel. Photo by Graeme Wood/Richmond News

On the day the Richmond News visitedLecy, a rental car was parked on the smallpatch of grass inside the gate. Lecy saidhe’s noted the numerous licence plates(from Alberta to Manitoba) but the city toldhim that wasn’t enough evidence to provethere was a hotel still operating.

Lecy said guests are now more discreetas they get picked up and dropped off withluggage.

“So, on the outside it doesn’t look likethere’s a lot going on,” said Lecy.

According to City of Richmond spokesper-son Ted Townsend, the city has conducted17 suspected hotel investigations, 11 ofwhich are ongoing. In July, there were justseven ongoing investigations.

In 2014, the city conducted five investiga-tions.

“Investigations are generally complaintdriven, however, we do also review variousadvertising sites for information on possibleviolations,” said Townsend, who did not sayif the city has issued any fines this year.

The city does allow for boarding and lodg-ing as a secondary use for compensation,however, the property must be a permanentresidence to someone, and bylaws limittemporary rentals to just two guests.

The Residential Tenancy Branch hasstated people may rent their homes on anightly basis if it’s permitted by a munici-pality. The branch noted it is incumbentupon local governments to enforce zoningregulations.

Two young Richmond men charged withinterfering with a body in connection with aNorth Vancouver homicide case have beenreleased on $5,000 bail.

Dyllan James Green, 20, and JacobMichael Gorelik,18, were granted bail by ajudge Monday afternoon after a brief hearingin North Vancouver provincial court.

Bail conditions for the two men includeabiding by an 11 p.m. curfew and not com-municating with co-accused in the case.

A court-ordered ban prevents publicationof evidence heard at the bail hearing.

Two other men – Casey James Hiscoe, 21and Tianyi Zhang, 23, believed to be fromRichmond – face more serious charges ofkidnapping a man named Peng Sun withintent to hold him for ransom between Sept.27 and 29.

Zhang and Hiscoe both remain in custody.Their next court date is this Thursday.

All four were arrested around 3 a.m. Tues-day morning in the 900-block of WellingtonDrive, North Vancouver.

Police have not yet confirmed Sun asthe man found dead in North VancouverTuesday – possibly inside a white Bentleythat was the focus of investigation by officersfrom the Integrated Homicide InvestigationTeam.

Outside the courthouse Monday, Crown

prosecutor Brian MacFarlane said the inves-tigation into the complex case is continuing.MacFarlane said the possibility of layingmurder charges in the case is “certainlysomething that we’re considering.”

MacFarlane said the victim in the kidnap-ping case, Peng Sun, is a young man in hisearly twenties.

MacFarlane said he consented to the re-lease of Green and Gorelik because they arealleged to have played a more minor role inthe case and their release does not pose anydanger to the public.

Also outside the court, David Fai, lawyer forGreen, said “there’s very little evidence myclient knew what was going on.”

So far, police have released few detailsabout the case, including whether there isa connection between Sun and any of theaccused.

No information has been released aboutwhere Sun was kidnapped or held for twodays.

Sgt. Stephanie Ashton said Thursdaypolice converged on Wellington Drive around3 a.m Sept. 29 in response to an activeinvestigation involving multiple jurisdictionsacross the Lower Mainland.

Police blocked off the 900-block of Wel-lington and removed at least two cars fromthe scene, Sept. 29, including a white Bent-ley and a newer model Chevrolet Malibu.

Neighbours said they had recently noticedthe white Bentley as a new car parked on thestreet.

ELECTIONNews

Question and answer: Candidates expand on their positionsLast week candidates

for the Oct. 19 federalelection participated in aquestion and answer periodwith the Richmond News.Upon answering a series of

“yes” or “no” questions theyexpanded on one of theiranswers.

Full answers can be foundonline at Richmond-News.com/Federal-Election.

Kenny Chiu(Conservative- Steveston-RichmondEast) onallowing Port

Metro Vancouver to developfarmland:

“Port metro must providereasonable and substantialjustification to show thatonly viable alternatives

and expected efficien-cies and optimizations areconsidered, exhausted andimplemented. …I need tohold Port Metro accountableto make sure they have con-sidered all the other options.… I don’t understand whywe can’t densify industrialareas, for example.”

Laura Leah-Shaw (GreenParty - Steveston Rich-mond-East) on her sup-port for a federal housingstrategy:

“We wouldhave to createtax conces-sions fordevelopers;make it desir-able for them tobuild afford-able housing. …Also, lookinto co-operative housing,co-housing — there are dif-ferent strategies being done.And if we could do somedevelopments where we putsome restrictive covenantson them so as people couldnot sell them for profit forabout five years.”

Jack Trovato (NDP - Rich-mond Centre) on his “no”reply to fossil fuel divest-ment:

“The NDP has a planto combatclimatechange andit’s outlinedin our climateaccountabil-ity change act,which has setout long-termtargets at 80 per cent belowthe 1990 levels by 2050.… We need to slowly divestfrom fossil fuel productionand increase our invest-ment in renewable energytechnology, and that’s goingto take some time.”

Lawrence Woo (Liberal -Richmond Centre) on his“no” reply to a universalpharmacareplan:

“I’m all fora subsidized(national) drugplan, I justdon’t agree withthe universalconcept. Whygive a subsidy to someonewho doesn’t need it? Whygive subsidies to million-aires? It would be just likethe child benefit plan putforth by the Conservativegovernment. They gave it toeverybody.”

Vincent Chiu (Green Party- Richmond Centre) onwanting to divest from fos-sil fuels:

“I don’t see why we shouldbe subsidizing a busi-

ness that ismeant to diesoon — thatis fossil fuels.We should beresponsible forthe environmentand also theeconomy. Fossil fuels are avery poor bet right now, verypoor. Clean tech is the wayforward. …We should beresponsible for the environ-ment, our society and theeconomy.”

Scott Stewart (NDP -Steveston Richmond-East)on supporting marijuanadecriminaliza-tion:

“Now thecop’s gonnatalk aboutmarijuana.…We have achance now,with (marijuana) being legal-ized in many U.S. states, toexamine how it’s fitting inand to take a good look. Sonow, we want to decriminal-ize it, make it something likea ticket offence.”

Alice Wong (Conservative- Richmond Centre) on her“no” reply to a universalpharmacare plan:

“Pharmacareand healthcaredelivery is inthe provincialgovernmentjurisdiction.Our Minister ofHealth has encouraged theprovinces to work togetherto drive down drug costs.The federal government hasassisted with facilitating thatthe provincial ministers ofhealth need to come to anagreement. If the provinceswish to subsidize pharma-care costs, the provincesmust pay for it. Our Con-servative government haspledged it will not raisetaxes.”

Joe Peschisolido (Liberal -Steveston-Richmond East)on saying “yes”’ to a federalpublic hearing for the jetfuel terminal:

“We all know the airportneeds jet fuel but the fed-eral government in the lastseveral yearshas completelyabdicated itsrole. There wasno involve-ment at all.And now, atthis point,the federal government getsinvolved by including theport authority as a decisionmaker on licences. That justdoes not make sense. …Itjust doesn’t make sense tohave these tankers acrossthe river.”

Port to study impact on whalesGraeme WoodStaff [email protected]

Port Metro Vancouver is researching theimpact of large ships on whale habitat.

With the support from the University ofVictoria’s Ocean Networks Canada and JAS-CO Applied Sciences, the port has deployeda hydrophone listening station in the Strait ofGeorgia that will monitor underwater vesselnoise, which is a threat to whales.

Last month’s announcement comesas numerous projects are being plannedindependently of one another that could seea significant spike in large fuel-carrying ves-sels running up and down the strait, as wellas into the Fraser River.

Listening devices will be placed in thestrait’s shipping lane.

Monitoring and understanding sound andits impact on marine mammals is a crucialaspect of good ocean management,” saidKate Moran, president and chief executiveofficer of Ocean Networks Canada.

Many of British Columbia’s whale popula-tions are endangered, including killer whalesand humpbacks.

Noise pollution affects whales’ abilities tocommunicate, travel and seek food.

! Abandoned boats addressedPort Metro Vancouver announced last

month it has addressed 118 of 151 aban-doned boat sites on the Fraser River as partof its Fraser River Improvement Initiative.

The port spends $400,000 each year onaddressing the derelict vessels, some of

which remain in the river, as they pose nonavigational or environmental threat, accord-ing to Transport Canada and the CanadianCoast Guard.

“We are proud of the progress we’vemade in improving the river and ensuringowners take appropriate responsibility fortheir vessels or property,” said Tom Corsie,vice president of real estate at Port MetroVancouver.

The port said it attempts to work with own-ers of such vessels whenever possible.

Last May, Conservative members of parlia-ment shot down an NDP private members’bill aimed at making the Coast Guard thesole receiver of wrecks.

The bill would mean more money wouldbe needed for the Coast Guard, as in somecases, abandoned boat owners are nowhereto be found. Some Conservatives said theywould prefer a polluter-pay model withstricter penalties.

An exciting new attraction is coming soon toRichmond when the Richmond Olympic

Experience officially opens its doors.Known as the “ROX” and located at

the Olympic Oval, this will be one of NorthAmerica’s most interactive sports attractions.

It promises to feature innovative sport sim-ulators and many other activities to rekindlethe excitement and inspiration embodied inthe Olympic Games and sport.

To join the fun and get a sneak preview,Richmond residents are welcome to be part ofthe ROX Community Days from Nov. 21 to 24.Watch for details coming soon on how you canobtain free tickets to the ROX celebration.

Visitors to the ROX will be the first to experi-ence our state-of-the art sport simulators forbobsleigh, kayak and sit-ski. Imagine the

excitement when you thunder down the Olym-pic bobsleigh track from the 2010 Games,race down a Paralympic sit-ski course in theCanadian Rockies or challenge yourself tokayak in the rapids of the Chilliwack River onan international calibre course.

These three simulators were developedespecially for the ROX.

We have worked with top athletes, such asParalympic gold medallist Josh Dueck, to en-sure a realistic experience. In the developmentof these simulators, we have incorporatedCanadian-innovation developed by partnerssuch as D-Box, international leaders in motionseat technology.

If that’s not enough, ROX visitors will alsobe able to test themselves on the Olympic skijump and Formula One race car simulators.You can also try out a number of other interac-tive experiences to test your sports skills —see how you measure up against the world’sbest athletes.

There will also be engaging displays of price-less Olympic artifacts gathered from individual

athletes and museum collections around theworld. Through a wide array of touch-tablesand exhibits, visitors will be encouraged toexplore the history of the Olympic Games whilethey relive the 2010 Games, as well as Rich-mond’s own Olympic and sport history. Youwill certainly be inspired by Olympic-themedfilms in the ROX’s motion seat theatre. Outsidethe Oval, a series of structures will recreatethe 2010 Olympic Torch Relay, leading to anew commemorative cauldron on the Oval’swaterfront plaza.

The Richmond Olympic Experience is des-tined to become a significant tourism attractionsupporting our city’s tourism and economicdevelopment goals, while adding fun to ourcultural landscape for residents and visitorsalike. We have also developed a comprehen-sive education program that will make the ROXa great resource for students and teachers.

For more details about the Richmond Olym-pic Experience, visit therox.ca. I look forwardto seeing you at the Olympic Oval this Nov.

Malcolm Brodie is the mayor of Richmond.

VAFFC: Delivery is safe

Gearing up for an exciting day at the ROX

Dear Editor,It’s a shame about the Britannia

Shipyards National Historic Site.We have a nice website from

the City of Richmond extolling thevirtues of the above.

“An authentic representationof a once thriving community ofcanneries, boat yards, residences,and stores.” It is beautiful, butthe four chickens that have beenkept there as a representation ofthat life live in a pathetically-builtchicken coop that is rat infested.

Not only that, this facility is locat-ed not too far from an elementaryschool. I walk by the chickens ev-ery day and on some days, duringdaylight, I have seen as many as12 rodents at a time. Today (Oct.5) the three hens were dead.

They were killed by a predator asthey lacked decent protection. Thiswouldn’t have happened if theyhad been protected properly, livingin a decently constructed environ-ment.

The rooster remains, but if thepredator (it appears to have been acoyote, according to the site man-ager) returns with easy access, hemay not be there tomorrow.

We can repave our roads all ofthe time, but it seems that we can-not take on the cost to maintaina decent living environment for a“heritage” exhibit that really wouldnot cost too much at all.

Basically, this is animal cruelty.Fix it.

Dear Editor,Re: “Loo forgets who voted”

and “Jumping on/off tunnel-bridge merry-go-round,” Let-ters, Sept. 23.

Vancouver Airport FuelFacilities Corporation (VAFFC)wishes to respond with cor-rections and clarifications toassertions in these two letters.Public safety and environmen-tal protection are fundamentalpriorities for the Vancouver Air-port Fuel Delivery Project. Thefuel receiving facility tanks,located almost 1,000 metresaway from any structures inthe Riverport Sports and Enter-tainment and Waterstone Piercomplexes, will be constructedto or exceed the requirementsof the National Building Codeand the B.C. Building Code.

The facility design andcomprehensive fire preventionmeasures will minimize thepotential for accidental fires.

An independent, third-partyhazard and risk assessmentconcluded that a fire occurringin the process area or a tankfire are the potential scenariosfor which the response mea-sures should be designed.

Statistically, neither have aprobability of occurring overthe life of the project. Theassessment also calculatedthat the safe perimeter in theunlikely event of a tank fire is69 metres, while the responseplanning safe perimeter is 130metres from the centre of allthe tanks, well short of anyresidential or heavily occupiedproperties.

The marine terminal andfuel receiving facility will bemanned 24 hours a day,providing immediate responseto fires or other emergencysituations.

Safety and environmentalprotection on the Fraser Riverare also a top priorities. Thespill response capabilities forthe project will add significantspill response equipment,planning, training, and opera-tional expertise that will benefitall users of the Fraser River.

Three to five vessels are ex-pected to call on the terminaleach month to meet currentand medium term fuel require-ments. This number onlyincreases to six or seven if therequirement for fuel doublesover the long term, due to theincreasing use of larger andmodern tanker vessels.

The facility will have tworesponse boats which mobilizeonce a vessel enters the FraserRiver, and will be on stand-byfor the duration of off-loadingto deploy containment equip-ment if required. The responseto any spill would be immedi-ate.

At the terminal, boom andskimmers will be pre-deployedaround the vessel to containand recover a spill in the un-likely event of a release duringoff-loading.

In addition, certified riverpilots, escort tugs and double-hulled vessels will contribute toa very high level of safety.

In the event of a spill, themarine terminal is required topromptly notify the CanadianCoast Guard, and federal andprovincial authorities.

The project represents a$100 million investment in thelocal construction industry andwill greatly improve the fueldelivery system to the airport,enhancing its status as a toptier Pacific gateway.

Dear Editor,Re: “New life for election signs,”

Letters, Sept. 30.Signs of desperation, sign of inac-

tion.Election time equals lawn signs

around town; a fact of life.It doesn’t bother me when a person

wishes to show their support to theirteam as long as it is reasonable and itdoesn’t become a nuisance.

My issue is more with the lack of en-forcement from the City of Richmondregarding their own bylaw.

In past elections, the city swiftlyenforced their Election and PoliticalSigns, Bylaw 8713, by removing signsthat were posted contrary to Bylaw8713, article 1.2.

The city’s work crews simply re-moved the signs and the parties gotthe message that they ought to legallyerect their signs or lose them.

The city’s inaction has now madethe political signage a nuisance.

In a few words, the bylaw states thatpolitical lawn signs can be erectedon a city-owned boulevard or right ofway ONLY if it is immediately in frontof a parcel used solely for residential

purposes WITH the consent of theproperty owner.

Basically, in front of a residence;not in empty lots; not in front of a rowof empty townhouses up for sale andcertainly not in front of commercialproperties.

Some political parties are consider-ate enough to abide to the bylaw, butfor some, well you can see it aroundtown that they are desperate; thesigns are in front of commercial prop-erties or in mall parking lots.

It’s not due to their lack of under-standing of a simple bylaw, as this isnot their first time around the block.

This is not the first election, northe last, but the inaction from theRichmond bylaw department for thisparticular election is puzzling.

Complaints have fallen on deaf earsand no enforcement actions havebeen taken in 40 days.

The bylaw department stated thatthe only thing they can do is to con-tact the parties and ask them to abideto the bylaw.

So, how has it been working for you?Brian Jones

Dear Editor,Re: “Cabinet taxing, but Sid-

don thrived on it,” FlashbackFriday, Oct. 2.

It was a great trip down mem-ory lane for me to read your ar-ticle on Richmond’s former MPof the Progressive ConservativeParty, Tom Siddon.

I was happy to hear about himand see him well and look-ing almost unchanged afterall these years. Having been amember of the party myself formost of the time of his “reign,” Ilearned to like and respect himvery much.

That, however, did not stopme from becoming his adver-sary when he put his supportbehind Brian Mulroney in 1984.

The party had become tooprogressive for me, (I am alsonot good at toeing the partyline), so I split away and ranas an independent candidatein the 1984 election, trying topromote smaller government,smaller bureaucracy, lessdependency of the people on

government, thus less govern-ment power over our individuallives.

I was trying to make peopleask not for what the governmentcan do for us, but for what it willallow us to do for ourselves.

At the TV all-candidate inter-view when we were getting ourmake-up done, Tom came upto me saying, “Ursula, I envyyou. Since you know you haveno chance of getting elected,you can say at this interviewwhat needs to be said. I haveto say what people want to hearin order to get elected so I caneffectively do something for thiscountry.”

Those were true words of wis-dom. We all should heed themat this election, all elections,thus be fairer to the candidatesby being more aware of whatwe make them promise due toour expectations. I am forevergrateful to my good friend TomSiddon.

While cash-strapped, land-based volunteersearch and rescue organizations contin-

ue their bid to secure more consistent fundingfrom the province, Richmond’s community-run marine rescue group said their fundingsources are a different kettle of fish.

Aarnon Harnden, station manager withRoyal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue(RCMSAR), said the main difference is thathis organization operates in areas covered bythe federal government. The current lobbyingeffort by land-based organizations, such asNorth Shore Search and Rescue (under theumbrella of the B.C. Search and Rescue As-sociation), come under provincial jurisdiction.

However, Harnden said his group, whichhas between 30 to 40 certified marine rescuetrained volunteers that, on average, respondto 60 incidents annually, will be watching theprovincial involvement in funding volunteersearch and rescue closely.

Right now, RCMSAR’s funding comes froma mixture of sources.

Of the roughly $40,000 to $50,000 that’sneeded to keep operations going about athird comes from federal coffers — the CoastGuard — which pays for fuel costs mostlyused during training sessions.

When they are specifically tasked to play arole with the Coast Guard, Ottawa also footsthe fuel bill. Provincial funding, in the formof gaming grants, amounts to about anotherthird. And the remainder is made up byindependent fund raising efforts, such as RC-

MSAR’s second annual event held Sept. 12 atBritannia Heritage Shipyard’s Seine Net Loftthat brought in around $9,000, about doubleof last year’s total.

Harnden said his group is always on thelookout for new funding opportunities and oneof the plans being considered is expandingthe fundraising night into two separate events.

“We also look at ways of raising awarenessof what we do,” he said, adding that can openup windows to private funding through dona-tions — which can be made on their websiteat rcmsar10.org — as well donations fromcorporate groups.

Harnden added volunteer lifeboat groupshave been almost a way of life on the westcoast for about a century.

But since operating costs generally followan upward trend, identifying new models forfunding is an ongoing task.

Look out for one telling some wooden lies this year andkeep your eyes peeled for a cheeky character sticking his

bare backside in the air.The annual Steveston Scarecrow Crawl is slowly, but

surely, starting to show its ugly, scary, funny and just plainweird face around the village as October rolls into its secondweek.

Handmade scarecrows will stand guard outside many par-ticipating shops, restaurants and services during businesshours, while others will peek out of store windows aroundthe clock.

Some of the early season highlights of the month-longcrawl — organized by the Steveston Merchants Association(SMA) — include a Pinocchio made by Kelly Krull, of SplashToy Shop, out of driftwood from Garry Point Beach.

“I made him out of love so time doesn’t matter,” said Krull,when asked how long Pinocchio took to build.

And don’t be embarrassed if, when passing or frequentingO’Hare’s Gastropub, you bump into Paddy McCrackin, whohas a penchant for mooning his pumpkin posterior at theregulars.

Up to 70 Steveston businesses are expected to take partin this year’s crawl, started by the SMA five years ago toinject life into the village’s quieter October season.

“Hopefully (it will be bigger this year), it does grow a littleevery year and people really put a lot of work into it and getvery creative,” said Sarah Gordon, SMA marketing chair.

“It astounds me every year; I can’t imagine the hours theyput in.

“The idea, when it was created, was for it to be low main-tenance and get the whole village participating.”

And it’s not just SMA members that get involved, said Gor-don, adding “the businesses love it, and I think the publicloves it as well.

“The reason we did it is that, summer is obviously busyand September is good with people travelling without kidsetc. But October is very much a grey area, and this keepsthe month alive. The crawl gets people out of their housesand into the village to see something easy and fun.”

This year, said Gordon, businesses were invited to get intothe fairytale theme, to coincide with a heavy filming sched-ule in the village for the hit TV show Once Upon A Time.

Near the end of the month, when there are more scare-crows out there, members of the public will be asked tovote for their “People’s Choice” on the Steveston ScarecrowCrawl Facebook page. And an artistic judging panel, includ-ing Richmond News publisher Pierre Pelletier, will alsochoose the best scarecrows.

Following the great success of its inaugural year, The Brick launches its second year as a partner of Children’sMiracle Network in Canada. In the first year of its partnership with Children’s Miracle Network, The Brickraised nearly $700,000 for children’s hospitals across Canada.

“The Brick is a great Canadian retailer which has provided value to the homes of Canadians with a team ofcommunity caring staff that made the inaugural year of our partnership a great success,” said John Hartman,Chief Operating Officer, Canada, with Children’s Miracle Network. “We are thrilled to continue a partnershipwith The Brick that does have a real impact on the lives of children. We’re elated to have help from The Brickin raising funds for the equipment and research that help to save the lives of ill and injured children. Brickleyis a good friend and role model to kids, whether they’re sick or healthy.”

“The Brick is proud to be part of communities across Canada and has a strong tradition of giving to thesecommunities. We care about our neighbours – especially the youngest generation. That’s why we’re partneringwith Children’s Miracle Network,” explained Jim Caldwell, President of The Brick Group. Both The Brick andChildren’s Miracle Network believe in keeping funds in the region where they are raised. All proceeds fromBrickley sales will go toward the Children’s Miracle Network member hospital that serves the community inwhich the purchase or donation was made. “The focus of our campaign is all about ‘Helping to Improve theLives of Children, Brick by Brick’”, noted Jim Caldwell. “The reason we chose that name for our campaign isthat we believe that every little bit counts towards making a real difference to the lives of children and theirfamilies. That’s what it is all about – improving lives and making a difference in our communities.”

In celebration of Brickley’s first birthday, The Brick is introducing the second edition, Superhero Brickley, tohelp raise funds for the organization.

Hallowe’enTrain & Scarousel

It’s getting spooky at Lansdowne Centre! Hop aboard the Hallowe’en Train and take a spin on the Scarousel. Only $3.50 per ride or 8 rides for $20 daily through October 31. Lansdowne Centre: unique stores, great people.

It’s not often one of theworld’s leading Russian

string quartets come to littleold Richmond.

And it’s even more rarethat you’ll be sitting in suchproximity to the performersthat you’ll be able to heartheir heart beating to therhythm of their classicaland finely tuned instru-ments.

That, however, is exactlythe opportunity presentingitself to those who appreci-ate the fine arts when theRimsky-Korsakov StringQuartet, from St. Peters-burg, rolls into town in afew weeks for a one-nightonly performance at theWorld of Music and Arts onLondon Road, in Steveston.

Considered to be in thetop five of their ilk on theplanet, the quartet hasbeen described as a “pre-cious heirloom of the Rus-sian music culture” and ismade up of Mikhail Bond-arev and Ekaterina Belisova(both violin), Alexei Popov(viola) and Anton Andreev(cello).

They will be joined on thenight by acclaimed clas-sical pianist Dr. EugeneSkovorodnikov, himself ateacher at World of Musicand Arts.

Skovorodnikov, originallyfrom St. Petersburg, hasknown the quartet mem-bers for more than 30 yearsand persuaded them toperform in front of an audi-ence of around 60 peopleon Oct. 23.

“Being in such closeproximity to such greattalent, rather than in a con-cert hall or on television…it gives students a betterchance to witness greattalent up close,” said AnnaVavilova, a Richmond resi-dent and director/founderof World of Music and Arts,a private music academy.

“The room will be verycosy; they can talk to (theperformers) and touch thegreatness.”

Richmond doesn’t haveclassical performers ofsuch calibre as the Rus-sian quartet coming to townevery day, said Vavilova.

“But this is truly classicand of such high qual-ity; people are simply notexpecting this to be here,”she said.

“It will be such a uniqueexperience, as the venue isonly going to hold between60 and 80 people.”

It’s not the first time thequartet has been in theLower Mainland, how-ever, having been guestsat Skovorodnikov’s housein White Rock, before per-forming at a local churchlast year.

This time around, whileagain being hosted bySkovorodnikov and enroute to touring the U.S.’s

West Coast — the quartetwill be performing, on topof the Richmond date, amini-series of concerts atQualicum Beach, MapleRidge and Denman Island.

The performance in Rich-mond begins at 7:30 p.m.on Friday, Oct. 23 at theacademy at 6231 LondonRd. Tickets are $30 and$25 (students and seniors).

Famous quartet to play at rare, local concert


COMMUNITY in Focus

In your face, teachers!

The piercing shrill that could be heardfrom Errington elementary’s parking lot

told the story that something was goingdown inside the school gym.

It’s said that revenge is a dish best servedcold and there was nothing sweeter thanwhat the kids were plating up for theirteachers Friday afternoon at the southRichmond school.

To the screams of the students packedinto the gym, cream, chocolate sauce,marshmallows and sprinkles were “lovingly”layered onto the foil plates.

In the run-up to the charity event, eachclass had been raising money for the TerryFox Foundation and each time a classraised $100, the teacher was to get a pie inthe face from a student.

If the total raised hit the $1,500 mark,school principal Mike Murray, dressed in abright yellow Fisherman Fred jacket, wasgetting three pies in the face and a bonusthree pies for every $500 thereafter.

And teacher/librarian Scott Jackson, AKAGoldilocks, pledged to have his two and halfyears of long, blonde hair snipped off forWigs for Kids if the money raised breached$2,000.

Talk about motivation.As it happens, the teachers — many of

whom got into the spirit with fancy dress,including one wearing a crash helmet andGo-Pro camera — got the pie-facing of theirlives.

There were soft pies, shy pies, pies witha bit of purpose and, dare I say, quite a fewwith multiple detentions baked into them.

The principal was in line for nine pies, butwas given a reprieve for one of them, whichwas diverted to the face of a teacher of theaudience’s choice.

“We haven’t done anything like this in allmy time here,” said Jackson, a few minutesbefore five students and his mom, Elaine,took turns at snipping off his pigtails to thesoundtrack from his favourite movie, StarWars.

“Now I recognize my son,” smiled Elaine,as a lighter Jackson revealed his new look.

In the end, $2,660 was raised for thecause.

Playful, funny and quirkybest describe Melanie

Sumner’s new book, How toWrite a Novel.

The lead character isplucky 12 and-a-half-year-old Aris (Aristotle)Thibodeau, a young girl whois precocious beyond heryears. She is on a missionsince she got her handson the book Write a Novelin Thirty Days! Using herown family as the basis forher novel, we’re led into theerratic lives of Aris’ momDiane, who’s an adjunct pro-fessor of English, and Max,Aris’ eight-year-old brotherwho likes to hit himself andthrow tantrums.

For Aris, there are threemain goals in life:

Avoiding therapy.Marrying Diane off.Making money.Following the formula de-

lineated in Write a Novel in

Thirty Days! Aris setsout to create a grip-ping plot laden withromance, suspense,a crushing disaster,and redemption.

Mingling fiction with fact,Aris’ first order of businessis to find a husband (or atleast a boyfriend) for hermom Diane.

Aris’ father, Joe, diedtragically in a car accident inAlaska three months beforeDiane gave birth to Max, soAris has taken it upon her-self to co-parent Max, whichis no easy task.

Living in Kanuga, Geor-gia now, their extremelydysfunctional family barelymanages to cope with dailylife. Between therapy ses-sions, school, and trying tojumpstart her mom’s lovelife, Aris has her hands full.

Enter Penn MacGuffin,the kind male nanny/handy-man who Diane knows fromAlcoholics Anonymous. He’sdevoted, calm and seems tofit the husband/daddy bill,except for the pesky factthat he has no real job andlives with his mother.

But he is a PMI — posi-tive male influence — forAris and Max, and worth hisweight in gold.

Aris says, “As Diane hadpointed out to me, Penn hada few dings. Who doesn’t?We aren’t talking aboutfreshly minted human be-ings here.”

When she’s not husband-hunting or co-parenting, Arisis busy chasing Billy, herex-boyfriend who’s moved toBoston and isn’t answeringher texts. Or she’s dealing

with Anders, an annoyingboy in her class who stirs uptrouble, but might also becrushing on Aris.

This light-hearted romp isfull of sarcasm, irreverence,and laughs. So, if you wantan easy, breezy read, checkit out. It won’t be up for aPulitzer Prize anytime soon,but who needs fame whenyou’ve got humour?

‘Let’s see what we’ve got in here.”Kevin Coles digs deep into a sizeable

storage locker to retrieve a tall box neatly filledwith team photos laminated onto sheets ofcardboard.

“Oh boy, look at the hair, the ’90’s hair,”says Coles with a big grin as he pulls out asheet with a collection of young girls, manywith spiky and big hairdos that look likethey’ve come direct from an MTV video backin the day.

Yes, Cosom hockey has been around Rich-mond in a league format through the ’90s andeven further back.

“I think it’s been going for more than 35years,” says Coles, president of the RichmondCosom Floor Hockey Association, which be-gins play this month at Burnett and Gilmoreschools and runs until March, ending with awrap up tournament for girls and boys agedfive to 18.

Along with the league’s vice president,Mike Wolfe, Coles was busy Monday eveningsorting through bags and shelves packedwith equipment for players to start the indooroffshoot of ice hockey whose origins go backto Quebec as early as the 1950s.

Using a lightweight, hollow, orange plasticpuck, plastic sticks, the game features five-on-five play — plus goalies — in a non-con-tact environment overseen by referees thatoffers a fun and competitive environment,even for inexperienced players. Although, asColes recalls, even as far back as the early1970s Cosom hockey was part of the PEcurriculum in schools. And it was promotedas an out-of-season sport for girls enrolled insoftball to stay active.

“I remember playing when I was at WalterLee (elementary) back in 1974,” he says.

“And kids are still exposed to it today inschool.”

Some schools also have the sport as anintramural activity. But even with that wide-spread audience, it hasn’t directly translatedinto surging numbers at the league level inthe past few years.

Coles estimated that this season there willbe around 340 players scattered across theage groups. And they come from just aboutevery corner of the city.

“There are good chunks that are from thenorth-west and south-east parts of Richmond.But then we have some kids coming fromHamilton, and even some from as far away asLadner,” Coles says.

To try and drum up more interest in theleague, the association staged an open housetwo weekends ago and drew roughly 40people who were curious about the sport.

The sales pitch?Coles says the sport is easy to pick up, has

plenty of action and is easy on the pocket-book as well as the timetable of busy familieswho may have children signed up in multiplesports.

“We’ve worked hard on our scheduling tomake sure we have as few conflicts as pos-sible with other sports,” Coles says. “We knowyoung families are really busy, so we have onepractice and one game a week for a com-bined total commitment of two hours. Plus, allthe games are played locally so there’s littletravel. And it’s all indoors, which at this timeof year is big.”

In seasons past, the league has promoteditself with a photo of a soccer parent standingon the sidelines, huddled under an umbrellawhile the rain comes down in buckets aroundthem.

And Cosom hockey is affordable — the sea-son costs just $100 per player and includesuse of the required equipment for the seasonand a team shirt they can keep.

Aside from that, for Lanie Man, the league’s

promotions coordinator, the league is one ofinclusion.

Man’s eight-year-old son has ADHD andCosom hockey was his first opportunity totake part in team sports.

“At the end of the season, my son mayhave been the worst player on his team, buthe had good fun and actually developedsome skills and felt more self-confidence,”Man says. “The kids and the coaches on ourteam were very supportive, regardless of thephysical abilities of some players. And my soneven scored one goal in the entire season.To him that was an accomplishment. And hetreasures his participation medal and keeps itin a safe box.”

While the sport was at one time targeted at

young girls, Coles says the numbers in thatparticular category have slumped over theyears. He feels that is a result of Richmond’sshift in demographics over the years, plus therise in popularity of ball and roller hockey. Butwith some more marketing efforts and regularappearances at community events, such asthe Steveston Salmon Festival parade, hopesare to keep the sport in mind for families look-ing for a team-focused experience for theirchildren.

And even with the cut off date to sign up forthis year already lapsed, Coles says there arestill chances to join a wait list that may openup roster spots. For more information aboutthe Richmond Cosom Floor Hockey Associa-tion, visit rcfha.org.

HOBSON, Earl SidneyApril 6, 1936 - September 25, 2015

.

We are broken hearted by Earl’s passing in hospiceon Friday after a determined 4-year battle withlymphoma. At the end, he went quickly and painlessly.Earl is survived by his wife Carol, daughter MichelleBakken (Trevor), grandchildren Taylor, Bowen andColton and daughter Stephanie.Earl’s life revolved around music. He was atalented, much-loved musician and musiceducator. In his roles as teacher, conductor andconcert band member, he touched the lives ofmany, many people. He conducted the RichmondSingers, the Royal City Alumni Band, the KitsilanoBoy’s Band and approximately 50 musical theaterproductions for numerous companies includingTheater Under the Stars and The GreaterVancouver Operatic Society. He was very proud ofbeing able to play and travel with the KitsilanoBoy’s Band to England in 1955, a trip that ignited alife-long love of travel. Earl also loved the outdoors:hiking, camping, canoeing and spending time in thefamily cabin at Bridge Lake, B.C.Earl is recipient of numerous awards includingR.S.M.T.A Lifetime Achievement (1996) andProfessional Music Educator Award (1992).The world is emptier without Earl in it. May he nowbecome themusic itself.Amemorial service will be announced at a later date.
