COFFEE WITH: Yogateacher aims to ‘see theabundance’
Chinese-only bus shelter adswill soon become a thing of
the past in Richmond.The City of Richmond is mov-
ing ahead with a new contractfor bus shelters on city property,after its five-year agreement withPattison Outdoor Advertisingexpired at the end of 2015.
City spokesperson TedTownsend confirmed the city hadmade English language require-ments in its request for proposalslast year.
Townsend said the city isreviewing the proposals andexpects to submit a recommen-
dation to Richmond city council“as soon as possible.”
Such ads have sparkedcontroversy in the city, similar toChinese-only business signs.
However, unlike businesssigns, which the city chose notto regulate, the city is able tomake its case for English on busshelters.
Townsend said such a requestis possible and not in potentialviolation with the CanadianCharter of Rights because theshelters are on city land.
“Pattison is allowed to placethe bus shelters there and sell
advertising through a contractwith the city, which gives us theability to make our preferences arequirement, whereas businesssigns are on private property,”explained Townsend.
There are currently 48Pattison-owned shelters; thecity receives about $60,000 inrevenue from them.
The city is also seeking toupgrade many of the shelters,although details of the newcontract will be made availableto council in the near future.
The city had compared differ-ent models of bus shelter man-
agement, including becomingthe sole proprietor of shelters, asis the case in Burnaby. The vastmajority of cities in B.C. out-source advertising to companies,such as Pattison.
Last month, Coun. Chak Aucomplained to the city thatPattison had allowed a mostlyChinese Budweiser ad on a busshelter. Pattison took the addown in front of Richmond CityHall but left up several similarads around the city.
Pattison did not respond toseveral requests from the Rich-mond News for an explanation.

English is expected to be the primary lan-guage spoken at the next Wellington Court
council meeting later this month, according tothe strata’s property management firm.
While the news is a welcome sign forresident Andreas Kargut, who filed a B.C.Human Rights Tribunal complaint againsthis Chinese-only strata council in December,a new problem has emerged for the belea-guered townhouse complex.
Property manager Aaron Leung, of AA Prop-erty Management, told the News he expectsEnglish to be the primary language used toconduct business at the next meeting, sched-uled for Feb. 23.
Leung said his firm would act as a translatorfor members of council who communicate in
Mandarin. Otherwise, all official proceedingswill be conducted in English, he noted.
“If someone is speaking in Mandarin, it willbe translated into English. Council agreed inprincipal the meetings will be in English,” saidLeung.
The News contacted strata president EdMao, who declined to comment but referredquestions to Leung.
Kargut said he wants an official interpreterfor the meetings, but Leung said the companywould try translating the meeting first.
Last summer, Kargut’s strata council decid-ed to conduct council meetings in Mandarin,after a controversial ousting of non-Mandarinspeaking council members. Kargut claimedthe new council was upset the old councilspent too much money on repairs.
Meanwhile, Kargut said, Wellington Courthas been beset by other problems. The latest,according to Kargut, is an illegal fruit and veg-
etable distribution operation, allegedly takingplace in one council member’s garage.
Last month, Kargut documented the councilmember unloading pallets of mangoes from adelivery truck on a Monday afternoon.
“I see this moving truck. And I think, whatan odd time to move. And I see a guy cartingoff a skid of fruit boxes into the garage,” hesaid.
Kargut saw the garage had several full pal-lets of mangoes.
“Our Block Watch captain is doing nothingabout it. So I went to the city and they foundthe allegations quite serious and they showedup with the bylaw officer and health officer.”
The city told me she (the member) admittedto running a fruit-distribution company out ofher garage,” he said.
Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsendconfirmed the city spoke to the alleged, illegalfood distributor and officers ordered an end to
the operation.Kargut said this latest problem is another
indication that the existing council is notrespecting the rights of all strata members.
“They’re using common properties withcomplete inconsideration for anyone else,”said Kargut.
Asenior City of Richmond manager has been taskedto handle a number of projects in
Steveston as part of a “special assign-ment,” according to city spokespersonTed Townsend.
Dave Semple, co-manager of commu-nity services, which is one of the city’s topmanagement positions, will be workingwith the federal and provincial govern-ments on issues pertaining to Steveston’swaterfront.
Semple will act as a liaison to the Steveston HarbourAuthority and the Britannia Shipyard Society, for which he isthe board’s chair.
Semple will also work on planning Richmond’s Canada150 celebrations for 2017, said Townsend.
To recognize his new roles, Semple’s been given the titleof General Manager, Interagency Programs and StevestonWaterfront Major Initiatives.
Cathy Volkering-Carlile is now the sole manager of com-munity services.
In 2014, Semple took a leave from his city duties to run forRichmond city council.
" Art intended to reflect Storeys’ goalsA $50,000 art installation will welcome residents and
visitors to the Storeys building on Anderson Road, once the14-storey tower is built.
A horizontal mural by renowned local artist RichardTetrault was selected as the cornerstone artwork for thebuilding that will include 129 units of housing for vulnerableand/or low-income people. The mural will be placed abovethe entrance and pay homage to Richmond and the manysocial agencies that will operate out of the building, which ispresently under construction.
Tetrault stated the mural will feature a collection of imagesinspired by Richmond’s topography and its people.
A number of faces in the mural reflect different moods inorder to project a “people first” theme, according to Tetrault.
Atrip to Japan last year by Coun.Bill McNulty was extended by two
days to include a visit to Okinawa toresearch public facilities. The trip alsoincluded a senior City of Richmondmanager, which was not part of theoriginal proposal to city council.
“We went there for best practices,to look at facilities. One of them wasa swimming pool and we picked upsome great ideas. We can justify thattrip to understand the way facilitiesshould be built,” said McNulty, whowas joined by parks manager MikeRedpath in April 2015.
The council-approved trip was pri-marily intended to secure a Japanesetall ship, the Kaiwo Maru, for a Canada150 celebration in Steveston in May2017.
However, the visit to Okinawa,Japan’s subtropical prefecture, andRedpath’s involvement, were notincluded in McNulty’s initial proposallast year, which required $12,000 froma council contingency account, for thecouncillor’s expenses.
According to recently released re-cords, obtained through a freedom ofinformation request made by the Newslast August, McNulty’s portion of the12-day trip cost $13,321. A business-class ticket accounted for just overhalf of the costs, while McNulty had$2,090 for daily allowances. Redpath’stotal expenses were $10,500.
Regarding the city’s policy ofbusiness-class travel, McNulty said:“If you’re going to do business andyou want to get off the plane and do
business right away, without spendingtwo days to recover, you need to weigh[the choice of] business class andeconomy.”
The trip began on April 19 with fournights in Tokyo, instead of two, asplanned.
“Tokyo was our base,” said McNulty.While in Tokyo, McNulty took a
train to Yokohama to hand a letter ofinvitation to the captain of the KaiwoMaru, which is maintained by theNational Institute for Sea Training. Theplan also detailed a visit to a maritimemuseum.
The trip to Japan was requiredbecause the institute stated it requiredface-to-face negotiations, according toMcNulty.
When asked, McNulty said Internetcommunication, such as FaceTime orSkype, was not an option.
“We’ve talked about that, but theywant face-to-face,” said McNulty.
After four nights in Tokyo, the pairspent two nights in Richmond’s sistercity, Wakayama, as planned, whereMcNulty secured a Japanese gardenornament for a park in Steveston.
From Wakayama, it was off toNagasaki for a two-night stay, whichincluded, per the plan, a visit to theNagasaki Tall Ship Festival.
In Nagasaki, McNulty and Redpathpresented letters of invitation to cap-tains of tall ships in attendance (fromSouth Korea, Russia and Japan).
Another week-long trip to Japan,costing $30,000, is planned for thisApril, in order to finalize the detailsand potentially sign more contractswith other ships.
“It’s the same thing, you have to sitdown face-to-face. …That’s the waythey do business,” said McNulty.
“We’re going there to look at all theirrequests, from clearing customs totugboat pilotage, literally everything toget them docked and in the country,”he said.
This April’s trip was also approvedby council and includes mention of a“delegation.” The itinerary is similar tothe 2015 trip.
McNulty said he doesn’t know whichstaff member will go with him thistime, and that decision is up to Rich-mond’s CAO George Duncan.
McNulty said there are some oppor-tunities in the U.S. He added, however,that Coun. Harold Steves may travel toMexico City to procure another ship.
Steves said Coun. Linda McPhailmay go instead, as she is planning avacation there.
“I’d rather not go,” said Steves.
If you’re going to do business and youwant to get off the plane and do businessright away, without spending two days torecover, you need to weigh [the choice of]business class and economy.– C. B MN

Inside the circular confinesof Caffè Artigiano, windows
offer a clear view of heavyrain testing the limits ofstorm water drains at thenew shopping mall on SeaIsland.
Still, sparkling sidewalksare nearly void of shopperson this dark morning. AnilaLacroix isn’t among thoseclamouring for Coachclutches, but the Burkev-ille resident agrees to meethere for chai and politelyobliges when pressed onpronunciation.
“It’s Aw-nee-la. But get-ting people in English tosay it that way, it’s almostarrogant,” she says overa recurring roar of beanmachines.
Anila is an Indian name,given to her by her yogateacher Baba Hari Dass adecade ago.
“He gave me Anila. Iliked it because it gave menew purpose. I like that in alot of different cultures. Onceyou become a better versionof who you’re going to be,you get to rename yourself.”
Lacroix, 42, teaches yogaand mentors and trainsothers at YYoga, Salt SpringCentre of Yoga and PerfectHearts Yoga in Steveston.She’s also a Lululemonambassador and known to
locals who attend her classesas someone who is authen-tic. She insists her goalisn’t to be the most popularteacher, but one who hasintegrity.
“I really enjoy being aservice to people,” she said.
“Along with my thirst forlearning, I want to share, sothat I can help other peoplebecause my teachers didthat for me.”
At her Terra Nova YYogaclasses, for example, Lacroixsometimes invites discussionthat result in some memo-rable conversations.
“Everyone gets lifted be-cause we see the curiosity orthe willingness to open up a
little bit.”Born in London, England,
Lacroix moved to Canadawith her family as a younggirl. She grew up in NorthVancouver in a home whereshe learned mindfulness andshared in discussions onimportant life questions. Afterhigh school, she travelled —and her experiences wereeye-opening.
In Australia for a year, shecycled the scenic GreatOcean Road and openedher senses to all thatsurrounded her, unlikethe people on tour busesunaware of the beautyaround them.
“That is a perfect pictureof what we all do all thetime if we’re not careful.I thought I need to makesure, as much as I can,that I’m always trying tosee the abundance,” saidthe mother of two. “Stopand enjoy whatever it isthat you can enjoy.”
Lacroix trained as a yogateacher under Baba HariDass, a now 92-year-old
monk from India, who haspractised continual silencesince 1952. Her first trainingsession at Salt Spring Centreof Yoga was terrifying, but itpiqued her curiosity.
“There were people of alldifferent ages at the centreasking really hard-hittingdeep questions in a grace-ful way. They were willinglyexposing themselves andbeing vulnerable in an effort
to better themselves.”Lacroix’s teaching schedule
of 20 classes a week andyoga retreats was derailedthree years ago when shesuffered serious injuries ina vehicle collision. Today,she walks with a cane andcontinues to seek treatment.She stays active, on adviceof doctors, teaching nineclasses each week.
Some would-be yogis — asthe beginning of a new year
produces — are only start-ing to get active. Lacroix isquick to advise beginners tothink beyond the weight oftheir body, and consider theweight of their mind.
“Physical yoga is what getseveryone into yoga thesedays, but the deeper yoga isworrying less about losing thephysical weight, and payinga lot more attention to losingpsychological weight.”
Becoming physically fit is a
much more achievable goalfor the long term if it’s set bythe individual, Lacroix added.
“If it’s something we dobecause society tells us wehave to look like a certainsize, it’s going to be reallyhard to maintain,” she said.“But if it’s from you, youwant to feel better in yourbody, you want to feel betterin your mind, you want tobreathe better, then it has farmore chance of sustaining.”

Dear Editor,As someone who has lived in Richmond
my entire life and has, for the last fewyears, been commuting to Surrey for work,I feel I have a unique perspective on thiswhole Massey Tunnel Replacement Project.
I think we can all agree that the currentstate of the George Massey Tunnel is notsuitable for the level of traffic that crosses itevery day.
Our region is growing and we need tocome up with strong, stable solutions forpeople to get from place A to B and backevery day.
If you’re a Richmondite going into Surrey,Delta, Ladner, Tsawwassen or White Rock,it’s fine to take the tunnel in the morning.
But for everyone coming home from work,coming into Richmond or heading into Van-couver, it’s about five or six lanes merginginto one counterflow lane.
It’s an unmitigated disaster. So here, twin-ning the tunnel makes sense. Double thelanes, lessen the congestion.
But with a colossal, tolled, 10-lane bridge,many Richmondites will opt to take the toll-free Alex Fraser Bridge instead.
And so will a lot of people from Surreyand New Westminster, once the PatulloBridge is turned into a brand new tollbridge.
Everyone knows that bridge is next forredevelopment. Imagine that train-wreckwaiting to happen. People, now more than
ever, are feeling it in their wallets.The province keeps increasing MSP rates,
ICBC premiums, hydro rates, transit faresand BC Ferries fares.
Now, they want to charge you to cross(more) bridges.
Then, throw in the loss of farmland, theeventual industrialization of the Fraser Rivercaused by the dredging of the river andremoval of the tunnel, as well as the subse-quent threats to our food security that willall be enabled by Premier Christy Clark’sMassey Tunnel Replacement Project.
These are the effects of a poorly con-structed plan from the provincial govern-ment.
Normally, a government would consultwith mayors, councillors, and local stake-holders first and come together on viableoptions, then, implement them.
But Clark’s approach is to announce aproject with a nice hard hat photo-op andthen sell the plan to everyone whether theylike it or not.
Just ask Mayor Malcolm Brodie andRichmond city council what that experiencehas been like.
Here’s a better solution: Extend theCanada Line south of the Fraser. Connectit to Surrey and Delta’s respective businesscentres.
Most of those taking the tunnel are singleoccupancy vehicles. Add in viable transitoptions now and you take a lot of those off
the road.With a better transit system, we won’t
need to worry about the log-jam at the OakStreet Bridge because rapid transit will be aviable option.
Then you twin the tunnel. To pay for all ofit, take the $3.5 billion allotted to the proj-ect and you will probably even find somesavings.
Bridge proponents will tell you that thebridge solution has space for future transitlines. But there are no specifics and thereis no official plan for transit.
Proponents of the bridge will tell you thatthere will be a net-gain in farmland. ButB.C.’s transportation minister, Todd Stone,has yet to provide any specifics as to howthat will happen.
Proponents of the bridge will say that 60per cent of traffic going through the tunnelstops in Richmond.
When asked how that data was collected,they say “using Bluetooth technology,”which most cars don’t have.
They’ve constructed this massive $3.5billion project and don’t have specifics ontransit or the changes to farmland or trafficdata.
In the private sector, if you’re asking for$3.5 billion for anything and you don’t havespecifics, you’ll find yourself in a toughplace.

Dear Editor,Re: “More info on tunnel option
needed, Letters, Jan. 29.Coun. Chak Au in his letter
expressed his hesitation to supportMassey Tunnel expansion becauseof a lack of information and manyunanswered questions. Thosequestions should have been posedto the B.C. government. An optionsanalysis, feasibility studies, environ-mental impact and costing shouldhave been done and the informa-tion made available to the public.
But let’s face it, there was no
intention by the provincial govern-ment to expand/twin/retrofit thetunnel. The government, in collu-sion with Port Metro Vancouver,decided to build a bridge to furtherindustrialize the Fraser River andfacilitate larger vessels to exportfossil fuels to China — a countrythat is choking on pollution.
Admittedly, traffic congestion is aproblem, but a car-centric model,with an overbuilt bridge, roadexpansion and the lack of a well-defined regional transportation planflies in the face of a goal for carbon
emissions reduction. Not to men-tion the impact of this project onthe environment. There’s a lot moreat stake than driver inconvenience.
What we need now are moreresources going into innovation,green technology and rapid transitif we expect to even remotely meetcarbon emission targets.
What a waste of time and moneyit was for Christie Clark to attendthe Paris Climate Change Confer-ence.

LETTERSto the Editor
Loo’s selling us down riverTime to move on fromsad soccer affair
Don’t let heritage get inthe way of healthy profit
Dear Editor,Re: “Massey bridge yes/no debate rages
on,” Letters, Feb. 3.In regard to the bridge issue, letter writer
Leslie Tallosi actually thinks Alexa Loo andKen Johnston on city council are the “onlyones with any sense.” Really?
The real question is, have Loo, Johnston(or Tallosi) made any effort to seek out thefacts?
Mayor Malcolm Brodie, as well as council-lors Harold Steves and Carol Day, have allshown real leadership by attending numer-ous events by the stakeholders in this issue.
So has MP Joe Peschisolido, and 90 percent of Richmond agrees with some fright-ening facts from the experts. Here is whatthey document:
1) The bridge has nothing to do withtraffic. The bottleneck just gets moved a fewmiles down the road at a staggering wasteof $3.5 billion of taxpayer’s money. If mov-ing traffic was the real reason for a bridge,one more tunnel can do the same thing fora tenth of the cost.
2) The bridge is being forced on us byunelected, appointed bureaucrats at PortMetro Vancouver to move extremely dan-gerous goods on the river, and for financialreasons, the province has colluded in thematter. That’s why our three useless MLAsare hiding under their desks in their highsecurity bunkers in Richmond, evading themedia. Linda Reid, Teresa Wat, and JohnYap don’t represent Richmond. They repre-sent the premier.
3) So let’s start with LNG. In the UnitedStates, shipping LNG on the river and stor-ing it near people is banned by the EPA.Why? Because if any LNG spills on thewater it will cause a massive ship explo-
sion that can burn down every building andkill people for a 3.5 mile radius. Nothingis foolproof, so the death and destructionscenario is inevitable for Richmond.
4) The port also wants to trans-ship USAcoal on the river. Again, why? It’s becausecoal dust pollution is so life-threatening thatboth Washington and Oregon have bannedshipment from those states. As it is sodangerous, wouldn’t you agree Ms. Tallosi,that it would be incredibly stupid for us toallow it here?
5) The port bureaucrats (Craig Neeser,chairman) also want to ship and store jetfuel by the river at an unmanned locationwith no dedicated fire control. An explosionof the fuel would again wipe out buildingsand kill people for miles, or a leak wouldcontaminate the river for a lifetime.
The bridge could even be an economic“death warrant” for Richmond, driving amass exodus of people who will move else-where to get away from the danger. So Ms.Tallosi, do you still think Loo and Johnston“make sense?”
If not, then you should join a call for theresignation of Loo and Johnston for dis-gracefully putting the community at risk.
As an aside, Loo would also do well to quithanging around “new best friend” LindaReid and talking like a hand puppet of hers.
Now more than ever, every councillorshould demonstrate leadership and faith-fully represent the wishes of voters whoelected them.
If not, there will be plenty of candidatesin the next election who will, and voters willsupport them.
JJ WestRichmond
Dear Editor,Re: “Red card for soccer club,” Let-
ters, Feb. 3.I do agree with Laura Heroux in that
the situation with coach Roberto Sciasciaand the Richmond soccer club was atruly sad affair.
It sends a message to all coaches in allsports that we now must be fully awareof the consequences of parents or play-ers who do not agree or like the coach’sphilosophy.
Coach Sciascia’s situation remindsme of what happened in the late 1400sduring the Spanish Inquisition to thosewho would not confess and eventuallymany were persecuted and eventuallyexecuted based on hearsay.
Thank goodness for the fine justicesystem we have today which thoroughlyinvestigated this case and concluded tostay the charges against Sciascia.
What happened to him can happen toany coach in sport and, frankly, that is avery serious problem for all youth sports.
All coaches today must be aware ofwho is watching and what is being saidabout them.
Would it not have been easier if theparents came to the Richmond headcoach or board with their concerns?
Heroux goes on to say many play-ers left the sport and infers that it wasbecause of Sciascia and his old-school
methods.I scoff at the notion that any players left
the program because of this.If there is a positive to be found in
these bizarre events, it may bring theRichmond soccer community closertogether.
This was also the case 10 years agowhen a board member absconded withhundreds of thousands of dollars ofRichmond youth funds and the club wasleft penniless.
This year is the club’s 60th anniversaryand we should be focused on 60 moreyears of helping our youth in Richmonddevelop and nurture the most popularsport in the world and not to dwell on thenegatives.
What is missing here in this story arethe hundreds of metro soccer playerswho have come through the Richmondmetro system in the past and went on tocolleges and universities and still play inthe adult leagues today.
We have built a good soccer programhere in Richmond and I ask that youcome out and watch a game on ourfantastic facilities and you will see foryourself.

Dear Editor,I recently visited the shopping area on
Dunbar Street in Vancouver, between25th and 30th avenues, where I hadlived for a number of years when thestreet was almost totally occupied byindependent/mom-and-pop stores andrestaurants.
It saddened me to see that, block byblock, the buildings that housed thesemerchants were being replaced by avalley of sterile, generic three-storeyapartment-storefront buildings.
It is not hard to imagine the districteventually losing everything that hasmade it unique, inviting, and neighbourlyduring the past 50 years.
What made the situation even moredepressing was that so many of the
storefronts in these new buildings remainempty, with papered-over windows andfor-lease signs replacing wonderful mom-and-pop stores.
What is happening in Dunbar shouldbe a cautionary tale for what could verywell be in the works for Steveston.
In particular, we should keep an eye onthe futures of The Cannery Cafe build-ing and the village’s two hardware storesresting in the hands of a developer-friendly city council.
Heritage?Can’t let a silly issue like that get in the
way of profit-taking by off-shore inves-tors.

What gets you throughthe in between timeswith a mountain range ofchallenges between youand your destination?
From an early age, Iwas hooked on reading.By Grade 6, I had fin-ished reading the WorldBook Encyclopedia andspent hours each weekat the McGill BranchPublic Library in NorthBurnaby. Like my mom,each week, I would bor-row my limit of books.
I was inspired by Nor-man Vincent Peale’s The Power of Posi-tive Thinking, Dale Carnegie’s How to WinFriends and Influence People and JamesAllen’s As a Man Thinketh. I learnedmuch more from countless books, andmy eyes opened to an expanding horizonof possibilities.
So enriched and moved by the writing of
others, I imagined how wonderful it wouldbe to help and inspire others with my ownwords some day.
For 10 days in Grade 6, I had a flare-upof rheumatoid arthritis with rashes, feversand painful joints.
On Burnaby Hospital’s pediatric ward, Iwas cared for by my doctors and nurseswho weren’t treating a disease but rather
me as a whole person. Itrusted them to do theirbest for me, and it wasthen that I decided tobe a physician — to giveforward the care that Ihad been given and tocare for others whenthey are most in need.
An inspiration can getus started on a path, butwhat keeps us going?
We can be mostinspired by those weserve. When I becamea parent, the awesomeresponsibility of car-ing for a helpless baby,loving unconditionally
and nurturing each of my children to theirgreatest potential was the greatest of call-ings.
I had to rise to this responsibility andstrive to be my best to give my best. Mychildren have made me a better person.
When I became a parent,the awesome responsibil-ity of caring for a helplessbaby, loving unconditional-ly and nurturing each of mychildren to their greatestpotential was the greatestof callings.

WHAT’SOn
Correction
Maybe it was the Old Spice or the softSuperstore coat blanketed over the
seat in front that made it seem love was inthe air at Gateway Theatre.
More likely it came from the stage.Closer Than Ever, which opened last Fri-
day at the Minoru Park playhouse, exploresthe everyday challenges of middle-agedpeople, such as the search for love at anincreasingly complicated time.
With a talented cast and thoughtful direc-tion, this show is a delight.
Written by the songwriting duo of RichardMaltby and David Shire, Closer Than Everis a two-hour musical revue. There’s nodialogue, only a lovely marriage of melodiesand words. Each of the two dozen songs isits own story, tackling topics such as aging,failed relationships, career complicationsand other circumstances that bring joy andpain to folks in the over-30 crowd.
We’re introduced to this “urban lovestory” with the song Doors — four peoplein a penthouse wondering what’s on theother side, every day another door. There’sa closed door of love in She Loves Me Not,a new door of friendship after a relationshipends in You Wanna Be My Friend? and adoor to a man’s creepy obsession over a
woman in What Am I Doin’.It’s in that stalker song we’re shown the
talents of Chris D. King, a member of theensemble cast of five who Gateway audi-ences know as musical director of thetheatre’s December shows. A cheeky Kingis spot on in delivering one of the morehilarious songs of the bunch.
Caitriona Murphy shows her fine form inMiss Byrd, a seemingly shy woman witha sexy secret who is “not saying a thing.”Cavorting with a desk and turning a pencilinto a mic, Murphy easily draws us in withher strong solo.
Ma-Anne Dionisio goes deep in Patterns,living in a heartbreaking song about amiddle-aged woman stuck in a rut. KevinAichele is equally brilliant in If I Sing, inwhich a man offers a touching tribute to hisfather.
Group numbers are particularly strong.A creative team led by Jovanni Sy, CaitlinHayes and Dawn Ewen allows the actorsto share the well-crafted stories of Maltbyand Shire for what they are — examinationsof critical life stages so rarely discussedopenly. With the possible exception of TheMarch of Time, which drives home obviouspoints of aging, these musical vignettes areimportant and thoughtful, but not withouthumour and fun. It’s a sweet relationship.
Closer Than Ever runs on the MainStageuntil Feb. 20. Tickets, $20 to $45, at 604-270-1812 or GatewayTheatre.com.

Iwas conjugating an Italian verb when some-thing triggered my lexicological curiosity.Conjugate, I thought, looks very similar to
conjugal — but the first has to do with gram-mar, the second with marriage.
My dictionary told me that conjugate is aterm used also in other fields. In biology, forexample, one speaks of bacteria conjugat-ing, meaning that they become temporarilyunited. Both conjugate and conjugal can betraced to the Latin “jugum,” meaning yoke(related is the Latin “jungere,” to join, rootof the words junction, juncture). The mentalpicture of husband and wife yoked togetheris conjured up also by the expression to gethitched — a colloquialism from 1844 mean-ing to get married.
Centuries before it became one of thesacraments of the Catholic Church, marriage
was an established practice involving ritualsthat varied depending on the period, the so-ciety and the status of the involved families.
In Ancient Rome there were various kindsof marriage, with different contracts, but allwere intended for life and for the purposeof begetting children. Our words marriageand marry come from the Latin for husband,“maritus.”
Matrimony, on the other hand, has its rootin “matrem,” the nominative case of theLatin “mater,” meaning mother, and the suf-fix “-monium,” signifying condition or state.
The English adjectives nuptial, connubialderive from the Latin “nubes,” (cloud) onwhich the Latin verb “nubere” (to put ona veil, get married) is based — the linkingconcept is cloud as a kind of veil.
Since about 1200, English has used theverb to wed (“weddian”) rather than marry tosignify the union of husband and wife. Wedhas a Germanic root, meaning to pledge.The Old English “weddung,” meaning the
state of being wed, andsource of the word wed-ding, is documented fromabout 1300, although inmedieval England the cer-emony was usually called“brydlop,” literally thebride run, which referredto the custom of conduct-ing the bride to her newhome (a related word iselope, meaning to run off, and in the 19thcentury specifically to run off to be marriedin secret).
Before marrying, a couple usually getsengaged. Originally engage meant to give asa pledge, and later to enter into a contract.Since the early 1700s, it has referred to thepreliminaries of marriage.
Wedding vows have changed greatly, buttraditionally the bride and groom wouldplight their troth at the altar. Plight, from theOld English “pliht” (related to the German
“Pflicht,” duty), means topromise solemnly; trothis a variant of truth, firstrecorded in 1663. In fact,another word for engage-ment is betrothal.
It’s fascinating howsome words move throughlanguage with the danceof time. Take buxom. Itsroot is the Middle English
“buhsum,” meaning capable of being bent(related is the German “biegsam,” pliable),and by extension obliging or obedient.
In the 1400s, a bride promised to bebuxom — obedient — to her husband. Even-tually buxom signified vigorous, good-tem-pered, and by the 20th century it describedan ample-bosomed woman.
I wonder, would a modern bride with alexicological bent dare to weave buxom intoher wedding vows?

In just over two weeks, four of Richmond’smost talented young musicians will
become part of a very select group whenthey get the chance to perform with a fully-fledged orchestra.
After winning the Concerto Challenge atthe Richmond Music Festival in November,violinist Isabel Lago, 16, and pianists SueWang, 13, Hail Lun Yu, 11, and MatthieuForesi, 10, will be the main attractions atthe third annual Rising Stars concert withthe Richmond Orchestra on Feb. 27.
According to Natasha Foresi, the non-profit Richmond Music Festival’s executivedirector, the acclaimed judges in November— Corey Hamm, Nikolai Maloff and MarcusTakizawa — were only tasked to pick threewinners, one from each age category.
But such was the quality of the top two inthe 11-and-under section, they asked thefestival if they could have four winners thistime around.
“The number of participants (25 this year)has grown every year,” said Foresi.
“The judges loved both of them (in thejunior category) and they were really closeon their marks, so they asked if there was away we could include them both.”
Foresi said the winning spots for theConcerto Challenge are coveted in the localmusic world because “it’s not often thatyoung musicians have the opportunity toplay with an orchestra.
“We’re very happy to give them this
chance, as to beable to play withthe RichmondOrchestra is very,very valuable.”
Foresi said theevent itself, hostedat the RichmondPentecostalChurch, usu-ally has an edgedue to its uniqueblend of seasonedmusicians and theup-an-coming tal-ent each performing one movement of theirchosen concerto.
“Next year, we are hoping to expand it toa composition challenge,” added Foresi.
“We are hoping that students will be writ-ing works for the orchestra itself to play.
That could be the first of its kind in theLower Mainland area.
“I know of something like that in Victo-ria, but not around here. That would bespecial.”
Rising Stars, which will be conducted byJames Malmberg, is on Saturday, Feb. 27from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the RichmondPentecostal Church, 9300 WestminsterHwy.
Advanced tickets cost $18 (adult), $15(student) and $6 (children under 13).
Door prices are $20 (adult), $18 (student)and $10 (children under 13).
Advanced tickets can be purchasedonline at roca.ca or in person at Long andMcQuade in Richmond, 6760 No. 3 Rd.

Let me start by saying that City on Fire byGarth Risk Hallberg requires a bit of a
commitment.At more than 900 pages, some have
argued that it’s far too long. But if you’reup to the task, this novel is worth it.
Set in the crime-ridden, dirty and corruptNew York City of 1976/77, City on Fireis populated by an eclectic cast of NewYorkers: the rich Hamilton-Sweeney clan;Mercer Goodman, an innocent, gay, blacksoutherner who has moved to the city; SamCicciaro and Charlie Weisberger, two kidsfrom Long Island who feel the pull of thepunk scene and immerse themselves inthe city; and Sam’s father, Carmine, whoseexpertise with fireworks has been discard-ed by the city in favour of big conglomeratefireworks.
His story makes up several “interludes”in which we learn about the history offireworks in America.
There are many, many more charactersin the novel, all of whom are connectedin some way, although most of them don’tknow it.
When one of the main characters isshot in Central Park on New Year’s Eve,it seems possible that almost any one ofthem could have been the culprit.
City on Fire is part mystery, certainly. Butit’s also an homage to the lonely peoplethat populate New York — the way theyare interconnected even as they languishalone.
And New York itself figures prominentlyin the book.
Streets,intersections,boroughs andlandmarkscreate itsever-presentbackdrop.
The seedyundercur-rents of thecity, the artsscene, thefilthy-richdevelopersand suburbanculture allfeed into thestory.
The book culminates in the famousblackout of 1977 and each character mustendure a long difficult night of chaos onthe streets.
Like the roaming bands of rioters deter-mined to “take back the city,” they come toterms with their lives and relationships asthey face the darkness, both physical andemotional.
I loved the grittiness of this novel, and Ibecame lost in the story.
The characters, the mystery and thestrong sense of place make City on Firemore of an experience than a linear narra-tive. I highly recommend it!

McMath’s Hannah Partridge posts up a GP Vanier opponent during the championship game ofthe Wildcat Classic. McMath is hosting the city championships with final set for Thursday at 7 p.m.
SPORTS Beyond the Scores
Mark BoothSports [email protected]
Wildcats still coastingwith playoffs underway
There are competitive home games on thehorizon for the McMath Wildcats. It’s just
going to take a little while longer to get there.The Wildcats are continuing their “home-
stand” this week as heavy favourites to winanother Richmond Senior Girls BasketballChampionship. The only real suspense ofthe eight team tournament is which schoolwill be joining McMath in Thursday’s final?The Tia Tsang led McRoberts Strikers are
the best bet after going 8-1 in the regularseason but it’s still going to be a dauntingtask to keep up with the province’s No. 2ranked AAA team.McMath entered the post-season after
easily winning their own tournament andlikely won’t be challenged again until thesemi-finals of next week’s Crehan CupLower Mainland Championships which alsotake place at the Steveston school.It was actually part of the plan when
coaches Anne Gillrie-Carre and Paul Jonesput their schedule together.The Wildcats played in three very competi-
tive tournaments over consecutive weeksin January and the idea was to make theWildcat Classic an opportunity to catch theirbreath. GP Vanier was expected to givethem a better challenge in the final but theCourtenay school was not at full strengthand was promptly taken care of — 77-25.“We were hoping to have some easier
games and one competitive game,” saidGillrie-Carre. “It did give us a chance to
practice some things against different peopleand we were able to give all the kids differentplaying time.“Our challenge all season has been play-
ing (these type of games) all week then gobanging into these hard weekend tourna-ments.”When the Wildcats advance to next
month’s provincial tournament, they willhave not seen two of the province’s topfive ranked teams all season — Riversideand Kelowna — while only facing No. 1Brookswood once back in early December.It wasn’t like they were trying to avoid thoseteams, it’s just the way tournaments un-folded, especially with many having a largemix of AA schools.“We haven’t seen them but they haven’t
seen us either,” said Jones. “It’s just the wayit worked out. To be honest, I don’t reallypay much attention to our opponents any-ways, just what we are doing instead. Weused this tournament to focus on taking careof the basketball, rebounding and stretchingour defence.”SFU bound Jessica Jones was named
the Classic MVP. Her starting teammates— Jessica Zawada, Bobbi-Jo Colburn,Lyric Custodio and Justin McCaskill were allnamed all-stars.The city final tips off at 7 p.m. Thursday.
The Lower Mainland AAA Championshipsstart the following week with McMathadvancing directly to the quarter-finals.Churchill, Handsworth and New West, allhonourable mentions in the latest provincialrankings, are expected to the Wildcats’ big-gest challengers.
Steveston-London & McMath win city junior titlesNot only are the Steveston-London
Sharks and McMath Wildcats therespective teams to beat at this week’sRichmond Senior Boys and Girls SeniorBasketball Championships, their futureslook bright too.The West Richmond area schools both
captured city junior titles last week.The Sharks won the boys championship
with a 50-34 victory over the RC PalmerGriffins in Friday’s title game played at Rich-mond High.The Griffins were looking to cap a perfect
run in city play, that included a 45-40 winover the Sharks in their season openerback on Dec. 8. It would turn out to beSteveston-London’s only loss against Rich-mond opponents.The Sharks took control of the final with
a big run just before halftime and never
looked back.Both teams had their hands full in their
respective semi-final games. Steveston-London held off the McMath Wildcats 65-59and the Griffins needed a last second bas-ket to trim the host Colts 60-58 in a thriller.The Sharks opened the championships
with a 76-27 win over MacNeill, whilePalmer defeated Richmond Christian 75-36.Other first round scored included RichmondHigh defeating McNair 69-39 and McMathgetting past Cambie, 63-44.Richmond High will join the Sharks and
Griffins at the Vancouver and District Cham-pionships after beating McMath 48-30 inthe third place game. The district playoffsstart next Monday.Meanwhile, the Wildcats capped a season
of dominance in the Richmond Junior GirlsLeague with a 44-25 win over the Cambie
Crusaders.McMath opened the playoffs with a 42-25
victory against Richmond Christian, whilethe Crusaders earned their spot in the finalby slipping past Richmond High 45-41.With 10 returning players from last year’s
squad, which finished sixth at the Grade 9Provincial Championships, the Wildcats willbe looking to make another deep post-sea-son run — this time to the Telus B.C. JuniorGirls Championships next month in Langley.To do that, they will need a strong showingat the Lower Mainland Tournament that willfeature a competitive field of teams.The Wildcats roster includes: Alyssa
Azote, Macaela Bradley-Tse, Dakota Chan,Jalen Donaldson, Allison Fast, MorganFlynn, Shania Falerio, Capri Horstmann, So-phia Kostiuk, Martha Melaku, Jessica Porterand Jennifer Vonas.
The girls are coached by Kira Carre,Becky Atkinson, Steven Flynn and DougTweedlie.At the buzzer…The Wildcats are also city champions at
the Bantam Girls level after a hard-fought26-23 victory over the MacNeill Ravens inthe title game.In a very competitive tournament, McMath
slipped past Steveston-London 32-27 in theopening round, and Palmer, 26-23, in thesemi-finals. The Ravens reached the finalfor the first time in school history with winsagainst Richmond High (37-31) and HughBoyd (33-31).Palmer will join the Wildcats and Ravens
at the V&D Championships after trimmingBoyd 34-32 in another thrilling game.That tournament starts Monday and will
take place in Richmond.
