richmond news september 2 2015

Cash donations, hot lunches, flower sales,silent auctions…the list went on and on

when it came to the Herculean fundraising ef-forts of a small community of school parents.

In fact, it’s strongly believed there is not onefundraiser that Blair elementary’s valiant PAChasn’t organized in the last two years in its bidto raise $75,000 for a new school playground.

Come Sept. 13, the dream of the Blair PAC,the parents and, of course, the students, willbe realized when the playground is installed.

And to make sure that every cent possible issqueezed towards the actual equipment, thecommunity has rallied to volunteer their day toinstalling the playground themselves.

“A lot of planning went into this and a lot ofwork,” said Hana Caulfield, the Blair elemen-tary PAC secretary and playground fundraiser.

“But we’ve had a lot of fun as a team andit has really brought the community together.It feels like we’ve organized every fundraiserimaginable over the last two years. I thinkwe’ve exhausted the list.

“This is going to be a big celebration whenit’s finally built. My husband lost me for acouple of years. He’s hopefully going to get meback now.”

The school, behind Thompson CommunityCentre on No. 2 Road and Granville Avenue,had two playgrounds, both of which weremore than 20years old andstarting toshow signsof ageing,accordingto CatherineLudwig, Blairelementaryprincipal.

The originalfundraisingtarget was$65,000, buthad risen toalmost $72,000 over the course of the neartwo years it took to get the cash together.

“Earlier this year, we took three differentrenderings to the students and asked them tovote on their favourite components and tell us

why,” explained Ludwig.“It’s been a fantastic way to get the students

involved. They chose a zip-line, a climbingrope-wall and a clamber (wobbly) bridge.

“We got a final rendering made with all thecomponents and had to have one last fund-raiser in the spring to meet the target.”

Ludwig said, after explaining to the con-tractor, Habitat Systems, that they wanted touse as much of the money as possible to gotowards the playground components, it wassuggested the parents implement a “commu-nity install” program, whereby members of thecommunity build the playground, under thecontractor’s supervision.

The move produced more than $12,000 insavings, said Ludwig.

“It didn’t take too long for all the spots to befilled by the parents for the install,” she said.“And those not involved in the install will behelping with a barbecue lunch on the installa-tion day. It will be a real community effort.”

The PAC, however, needed to find its owntools for the install and the school district’smaintenance department has offered to helpthem out and also do the site preparation, allof which saved even more money.

The Richmond Eats: A Local Food EatingChallenge wrapped up on Sunday after

a week of some moaning and groaning butalso one of discovery that Lulu Island — par-ticularly in summer — has a bounty of foodavailable for its residents.

Richmond Food Security Society (RFSS)director Stephanie Dunn said her groupraised $9,200 for its core activities thanksto the challenge, which saw 15 officialparticipants try to eat food grown or raisedexclusively in Richmond.

The challenge intended to show the publicthe food gaps in Richmond and shed lighton the issue of food security.

Dunn said the best part of the challengewas getting a chance to connect with otherpeople who were passionate about local foodand learning about the different approachesthat were taken.

She said among the challenges was foodpreparation and sourcing food ahead oftime. For intsance, many participants had towait five days for an order of local chickensfrom the Fowl Farmer.

After getting those chickens, many othercooking opportunities arose, said Dunn,such as using broth to make soup.

The challenge was just that, given par-ticipants had only three, non-local items tochoose from.

Dunn, who chose coffee as one of her“cheat” items, said a little more foodpreparation before the week started wouldhave helped her, especially with three youngchildren.

Dunn said there are several programs theRFSS will put the money towards.

The RFSS operates a budding seed library,whereby Richmond residents can give andtake seeds for their private gardens. Theseed library is a method of artificial selec-tion to promote the best plants that most fitRichmond’s microclimate.

The society also runs youth kitchen semi-nars, food studies, a fruit recovery programand, most notably, it manages the 300 com-munity garden plots in the city.

The RFSS plans to present a local foodcharter to Richmond city council in De-cember. The charter will address how tostrengthen community involvement in foodand agricultural policy.

Investigators are still trying topiece together why two Richmond

men died in a jet-skiing accidentin the south arm of the FraserRiver.

Businessman Salinder Burmy,56, and, Ramanjit Bachra 56, losttheir lives on the river last Thurs-day evening.

Richmond Mounties respondedto a report of a jet ski adrift withtwo unconscious bodies floating in

the river.A commercial vessel

had spotted them andcontacted police, whilea Canadian Coast Guardhovercraft was alsodeployed.

Both of the bodies wererecovered and broughtto shore near No. 4 Roadand the dyke. Despitethe efforts of paramedicsand firefighters, both menwere declared dead at the scene.

Police say both men sustainedsevere head injuries and both were

wearing life jackets.Lighting conditions

and speed, according topolice, are being consid-ered as contributingfactors to what appearsto be a tragic accident.Foul play is not sus-pected.

A local resident, whoonly wanted to be identi-

fied as Glen, said he waskayaking in the area at

the same time as the accident andrecalled seeing two jet-skis out onthe river.

He said they were on the waternear to No. 5 Road and the dyke,where dredging pipes are currentlyelevated from the surface of theriver. Police, however, confirmedthat only one jet-ski was pulled outof the river, along with the bodiesof the two men.

On Friday afternoon, family andfriends came to the site to payrespects to their loved ones. Theytold television news crews that themen were respected members ofthe community.

Burmy was president and CEO ofPresidio Land Development Corp.,

according to a LinkedIn profile.He had worked and/or lived in

Richmond as early as 1990 andcited a number of social causes —such as animal welfare and civilrights — that he was interested in.

The RCMP and the BC Coroner’sService are continuing to investi-gate the incident.

If anyone has any information orwitnessed this incident, contactRichmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 or by e-mail at [email protected] To leave a tipanonymously, call Crime Stoppersat 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Richmond appeared to have dodged theworst of Saturday’s windstorm, which

ripped through the Lower Mainland,causing massive disruption to the powersupply across the region.

Nevertheless, City of Richmond workcrews still had lots to deal with in the daysthat have followed.

Although approximately 24,000 BCHydro customers in Richmond were af-fected by the power outage caused bywinds gusting up to 90 kilometres perhour, the vast majority of them had theirpower back by the early hours of Sunday.

Some of the outages affected the city’s

water pumps, meaning back-up gen-erators were used to stave off localizedflooding.

One localized outage was along GilbertRoad near Steveston Highway, caused bya downed power line, which closed Gilbertin both directions from Saturday morninginto Monday.

Outages affected Watermania, theRichmond Ice Centre and the Thompson,West Richmond and Hamilton communitycentres.

Meanwhile, Steveston avoided any out-ages.

As of 11 a.m. on Monday, while around50,000 customers were still without hydroin the Lower Mainland, only 286 of themwere in Richmond.

Those local customers are being told

they may have to wait until the early hoursof Tuesday before having power again.

At the height of the outage on Saturday,around 400,000 BC Hydro customerswere powerless, mostly due to downedtrees from the unseasonably wild winds.

According to the City of Richmond, workcrews had responded to 70 calls relatedto felled trees or broken branches.

“We’ve got crews out this morning do-ing inspections and cleanup, so thosenumbers may climb. Also, we are assess-ing playgrounds etc. to make sure all theequipment is safe,” said city spokesper-son Ted Townsend on Monday.

The Chinese Bunkhouse at BritanniaShipyards escaped major damage whenparts of a tree fell on it; only minimaldamage was reported, according to

Townsend.City crews claimed most of the trees

that went down were weakened due tothe drought-induced stress on their roots.Adding to the problem was the fact thedeciduous trees had all their leaves at-tached, as they acted like giant sails.

Townsend said species such as greenash, cottonwood and poplar trees aremost prone to wind damage.

First responders were also busy, ac-cording to Townsend; there was a 70 percent increase in calls to Richmond FireRescue, from the previous two weekends.

Many of the calls involved traffic ac-cidents. About 85 traffic signals lost theirpower at some point during the storm butthey were all operational come Sunday,said Townsend.

Errant drivers and cyclists are attracting theattention of the City of Richmond on two of

the city’s busiest roads.Similar to the four-foot high, on-road signs

placed outside Maple Lane and Andersonelementaries last year — which are designedto completely bend over and then springback should they be clipped or, at worst, runover — the city, last Friday, planted a newone on Saunders Road, about 50 yards to theeast of Garden City Road.

It’s purpose is to pre-warn drivers travellingwest on Saunders that they’re approachingthe stop-sign at the intersection with GardenCity, one of Richmond’s busiest roads.

And over on the popular Railway Greenway,at its intersection with Blundell Road, the cityis about to erect a couple of the bendy signswarning cyclists to only cross when permittedto do so.

According to the city, residents in the areajust north of Garden City and Williams roads,were witnessing numerous, single-vehicleaccidents at the Saunders Road intersection,which were causing property damage.

“There has been a lot of accidents there,people coming around the bend and runningthe stop sign,” said City of Richmond spokes-person Ted Townsend.

“(At Railway and Blundell), for safety rea-sons, we are trying to alert cyclists that thereis a major crossing coming up.

“Cyclists have perhaps been getting speedup on the greenway and often going straightout onto the road, without realizing it’s a

major arterial.” Townsend said the cyclists’bad habits have been a concern since thegreenway was opened more than two yearsago.

“We put bollards up, but it’s quite clear weneed more than that,” he added.

Both the warnings on Saunders Road andat the Railway Greenway are pilot projectsand their success will be analysed over time.

The city, said Townsend, is nearing the endof the Maple Lane and Anderson elementaryprojects and it will be decided soon whetheror not those signs will become a permanentfixture.

Ken Thibault — the B.C. distributor for theMontreal-based technology solution companywhich makes the road signs, already beingused in Eastern Canada and the U.S. — saidRichmond is still the only Lower Mainlandmunicipality to test the product, althoughDelta and White Rock have expressed inter-est but want to see how Richmond fares first.

Greens pull realtor into fray

Afull slate of candidates from Canada’srepresented political parties in Ottawa is

complete in Richmond after the Green Partyof Canada announced realtor Laura-LeahShaw would run in Steveston-RichmondEast.

Shaw moved to Richmond in April. She ranfor the Greens in 2011 in Vancouver Quadra.

Shaw, who cites volunteerism (animalwelfare and charity) as one of her main hob-bies, said inequality in Canadian society isher primary reason for challenging for a seatin Parliament.

“There’s always going to be people who dowell and always going to be people who needa hand up, and lately it’s been feeling likethe less you have, the less you matter, andthat’s not right,” said Shaw.

When asked for her top priorities this elec-tion, Shaw cited better housing affordability,energy sector diversification, safeguardingfood security and providing more funding forpost-secondary education.

As a realtor, Shaw said “more controls”need to be placed on the real estate marketvis-a-vis foreign investment.

“Now that the dollar is so low Canada is re-ally on sale, so you want to stop people frommaking huge profits off people who want tomake this their community,” she said, add-ing large short-term real estate profits needto be “heavily taxed.”

She added Canada needs a federal hous-

ing strategy likeother OECD coun-tries have.

As a single-parentwho raised twodaughters, Shawsaid tax breaks forparents who helppay for their chil-dren’s tuition fail tohelp those most inneed, who can-not afford to savemoney.

Asked if theGreens would bal-ance the next bud-get, or whether thatwas important at this time, Shaw deferred tothe upcoming release of the Green platformafter Labour Day.

When asked about marijuana law reforms,Shaw said the drug should be legalized andCanada needs to move to harm-reductionmethods.

! Correction: Conservative Party candidateKenny Chiu’s campaign office, located onPark Road, was incorrectly reported as be-ing outside the Steveston-Richmond Eastboundary, when, in fact, it is within it.

The border between Richmond’s tworidings runs from the West Dyke alongSteveston Highway, north along No. 3 Road,east on Westminster Highway, north alongNo. 4 Road, east on Cambie Road, and thennorth along Highway 99. The News apolo-gizes for any confusion.

Customers at Tim Hortons don’t usually leave a tip, buta group recently went above and beyond to show their

gratitude to a server at the No. 3 and Cambie roads loca-tion.

When Alexi Rainier, and a number of other regulars atthe coffee and donut shop, heard one of the employeesthey only knew by her first name — Maryan — had herbike stolen a couple of weeks ago from in front of thestore, they wanted to help out.

Rainier said Maryan is a single mother of three andneeded her bike to get back and forth to her job. And be-ing without one was proving to be a problem.

“We often spoke toher and she’s a reallylovely person,” Rainiersaid.

“And she was goingthrough some hardtimes when this hap-pened. We wantedto make things rightagain for her.”

So, the group startedexploring ways ofreplacing the bike andhad come to a deadend when they visitedthe local SPCA thriftshop (at Minoru Blvd.,south of Alderbridge Way) where they related the story tostaff there, hoping to acquire a bike that was affordable.

Unbeknownst to them, another shopper in the thrift storeoverheard the details of Maryan’s loss and had no hesita-tion in offering to help.

living legend comes to the Gateway Theatre Pacific FestivalThis month, Gateway Theatre welcomes Richmond residents to the Gateway Theatre Pacific Festival.

This is truly a festival for everyone, featuring the best and brightest from Hong Kong’s stages, with English surtitlesopening up the festival to the entire community.

One of the festival’s highlights is the performance of living legend Chung King Fai in an internationally acclaimedproduction of Tuesdays withMorrie. Considered the “Laurence Olivier”of Hong Kong theatre, Chung King Fai hasstarred in countless theatrical productions and has won over 10 Hong Kong Drama Awards. He is a true pioneer ofthe industry, introducingWestern conventions such as Broadway musicals and Theatre of the Absurd toHong Kong audiences. As well as being an iconic stage actor, he has starred in multiple television series since the1970’s, making him one of the longest-standing celebrities in China.

His influence extends far beyond his own stage and screen career. He is the founding Dean of the School of Dramaat the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. Considered a right of passage for actors serious about their craft,the school has produced some of the most successful performers in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.Chung King Fai’s influence on his students is akin to that of revered American acting teacher Lee Strasberg of theActors Studio.

This is hisWestern Canada debut and a rare opportunity for residents to see a living legend at work.Join us for Tuesdays withMorrie, as well as all of the festival’s exciting programming, at this year’s GatewayTheatre Pacific Festival!

She told Rainier, “I have aTim Hortons anniversary bike,and I’m going to give it to you.”

The bike was a prize in aTim Hortons 40th anniver-sary Rrroll Up the Rim To Winpromotion, and despite beinga decade old, was in goodcondition.

On Monday evening, Rainierand her group made a surprisepresentation of the shinyred, two-wheeler just beforeMaryan started her nighttimeshift.

“I want to thank them somuch for dedicating to helpme out,” Maryan said, as shechecked out her new ride.“They’re here all the time, andthey’re always so nice to me.

“They made it happen, soI’m very thankful.”

Dear Editor,The Richmond Chinese Community

Society 13th Annual Seniors’ LunchCelebration was held at the Continen-tal Seafood Restaurant in Richmondon Saturday, Aug. 15. This luncheonwas attended by approximately 500seniors. RCCS was so gracious andgenerous in providing free ticketsto the seniors from different ethnicbackgrounds to participate in thismemorable event.

The food consisted of a 10-coursedim sum, which was absolutely deli-cious and plentiful.

In addition to this mouth-wateringtreat, there was continuous entertain-ment with performers dressed in very

colourful and attractive Chinese cos-tumes. There was also very pleasingmusic and the dancefloor was fullyoccupied throughout.

This 13th annual seniors’ lunchevent, like all the previous lunch par-ties, was excellent and very success-ful. It was a wonderful, heart-warmingexperience. This event was attendedby dignitaries from three levels ofgovernment.

It is most commendable that RCCShas continued to provide this eventso successfully for so many years,and I wish them all the luck and goodfortune for many more years to come.

Could the public be heededat the next public hearing?

Yes, miracles can happen ifwe earn them.

On Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 7p.m., council will hear thepublic on a new-house mass-ing bylaw. The venue is thecouncil chambers at RichmondCity Hall.

At this point, the bylaw(which was supported by allcouncillors except Carol Dayand Harold Steves) best servesthe interests of developers andwill lead to more mega homes.

The public hearing is a speedbump before the final rubberstamp. If you value neighbour-hoods more than mega trophyhouses, you will want the bylawchanged first.

For quick impact, go to the

online form for public hearingsand write “Please use the 3.7metre ceiling height and thenine metre building height forall new houses.”

Those ample heights (over 12feet and almost 30 feet) wereset, but then fudged. Appliedfirmly, they’d help put a collaron rampant problems.

If you value trophy housesmost, you could write “Pleasepass the bylaw as is.” I’d stillrespect you for taking part.

The rest of this column isa brief how-to manual forthe public hearing. To checkdetails, I discussed themwith Richmond’s manager oflegislative services. Thank you,Michelle Jansson!

For a start, get to know theRichmond.ca website. Clickyour way from the “City Hall”tab to “City Council” to “WatchMeetings Online” or “PublicHearings.”

On the “Send a Submission

Online” form, use 9280 as thebylaw number. Or email [email protected] “9280 Public Hearing” asthe subject.

Submissions are acceptedup to the meeting time, 7 p.m.next Tuesday, but send yourmessage much sooner if youcan.

You can speak at the publichearing for up to 10 minutes.That applies even if you’ve sentinput, but do more than repeatit.

After everyone has spoken,you can speak for three moreminutes — with new informa-tion.

Speaking well will influencepeople, even if you’re brief. It’sfine to simply state what’s bestin half a minute.

When you practise, visualizeyourself at the speakers’ desk.View some of the online videoof the July 27 council meet-ing. You’ll see citizens speak

about the new-house massingbylaw in the “Committee of theWhole” part.

Then bring your speakingnotes. That will help you recallyour points, conserve time andhave fun.

Come early. If need be, waitfor seats to open up. Thenew-house bylaw is last on theagenda, and people who’vecome for earlier items will leavewhen they’re finished.

There will be a handout topick up as you enter. Theremay also be a speakers’ list tosign.

Decorum is normal. It’s tackyto shout out, clap or chat dur-ing a hearing.

You’ll find more help on myblog. Just google “natural lega-cies versus waste” to get there.

After earning a miracle, sitback and see what happens.

Jim Wright is president ofthe Garden City ConservationSociety.

Annual seniors lunch fed the 500 very well

Allergy to stop-pingmore prolific

Make your voice heard, earn that miracle

Dear Editor,Re: “Cultures united by signal allergy,”

Column, Aug. 23.While signaling is definitively a lost art in

Richmond, what even fewer people seem toknow about is the “right of way.”

The law states that at all intersectionswhere there is no stop-sign, the person com-ing from the right has the right of way.

What seems to be the norm is that theperson speeding in a straight line feels theyhave the right of way.

And they will defend their error with a loudblast of their horn — as they feel no needto watch for traffic at intersections, speed-ing down side streets to beat a light or twobecomes the norm, contributing to parentsnot wanting their kids to play outside.

If the RCMP ever feels up to enforcingthis most basic (and international) rule ofthe road, I would be happy to point out anynumber of intersections where they can setup.

EVERYTHING MUST GO!

Dear Editor,The ALR: Pygmy goats, metro ports and

everything in between.It’s time to expose the Agricultural Land

Reserve (ALR) as the fraud it was designedto be.

Having sufficiently researched the issue,I don’t feel there is enough space in this en-tire newspaper to even scratch the surfaceof the ALR’s sordid history.

The ALR was originally called the “LandReserve.”

“Agricultural” is an added term whichis simply putting propaganda lipstick onthis socialist pig which is to create a bankof land, much of it of dubious agriculturalvalue, whose prices are kept depreciatedvia restricted uses arbitrarily imposed bybureaucrats and politicians.

In essence, the ALR landowners have,de facto, had their land expropriated bygovernment and thrown into some commu-nistic collective, and, to add further insult,these same landowners are demonized byuseful idiots who feel every square inch ofALR land is sacred.

Therein lies the rub.Those of us well versed in the ALR can

see clearly what is going on in the bigpicture.

Currently, we observe this staged wrestling

match going on between Richmond CityHall and Port Metro Vancouver regardingindustrial and ALR land.

Lets expose the charade.Richmond has no control over ALR land

designation, as this control lies with theprovincial and federal governments.

City hall does have control over all otherRichmond land uses. However, it has alsochosen to convert many classes of zoninginto various densities to facilitate “ghostcity residential (mega mansion, condos,hi-rises).”

Concurrently, Port Metro has purchasedlarge ALR acreages. Port Metro, as a federalbody, is simply posturing, like a snake, andwill strike when the time is most opportuneto convert these ALR holdings into non-ALRuses. Depending on which matrix one uses,Port Metro will have acquired land “whole-sale” for pennies on the dollar and/or reapmassive fiscal gains.

Note: My sympathies go out to thosefarmers, often from pioneer families, whohad held the land (deemed ALR since the1970s) for decades and will be ripped off atthe stroke of a pen.

Pygmy goats? These simply expose an-other part of the ALR scam.

R.A.HoeglerRichmond

LETTERSto the Editor

ALR scam gets my goat

Dear Editor,Re: “Richmond drivers need to mind their

manners,” Letters, Aug. 26.I do agree with some of the points that

Janet Oakes raised in her letter. And, yes,we have in our midst many “dangerous andinconsiderate drivers.” But who are “they”?Would simply “obeying traffic rules andsigns” be enough to alleviate risks and roadrage?

Ms. Oakes shared her experience driving inLondon. Maybe she should have also offeredAnthony Bourdain’s experience with traffic inManila and Hong Kong, where a 20-minuteride often turns into two hours or more. Avaluable lesson could be learned, however.Drivers in those congested cities have onlyone ultimate goal — to get to their destinationquickly and safely. That objective requiresincredible focus and concentration.

In those cities, they place tremendous valueon having a vehicle to help them commute totheir place of work, school, or other destina-tions. They fight for space on small roads;traffic signs are mere “suggestions” and, asa consequence, driver assertiveness (aggres-siveness) is expected — and anticipated.

Paradoxically, people in those cities do notcomplain of “inconsiderate drivers;” rather,they protect themselves from harm by beingkeenly aware of traffic and road conditions.They do not “point their fingers forwardand walk across streets without looking atvehicular movement’; not even on pedestriancrosswalks.

And therein lies traffic problems in our city.Many drivers use our roads as if they areprivate, leisurely promenades.

They occupy the left lane as if it belongs tothem. “I am following the speed limit and Iam entitled to stay in this lane,” is often theidiotic mindset. Never mind the $167 finefor holding up traffic in the passing lane onhighways.

Pedestrians live with a strong belief thata lit crosswalk and a finger pointed forwardare enough to proceed safely across. It is aconsequence of the “right of way” mentalitythat has been inculcated in our culture fordecades, maybe centuries.

Can severe penalties for defying speedlimits and traffic rules eliminate traffic risksand road rage? I doubt it. Law enforcementin our city (RCMP) is already encumbered tothe point that Coun. Bill McNulty is pressingcouncil to consider replacing it with a citypolice force.

To reduce risks and fatalities, however, Istrongly urge the city to levy heavy penal-ties for speeding through amber lights andturning left on a red light. How? By installingtraffic cameras, especially at busy intersec-tions. Perhaps a Dangerous Driver Registryshould be established to keep a public recordof repeat offenders. City enforcement agentsshould be diverted from issuing parkingtickets to monitoring left turn and amber (andred) light violations.

El MendozaRichmond

No road user has God-given right

Port Metro, as afederal body, is simplyposturing, like a snakeand will strike whenthe time is most oppor-tune to convert theseALR holdings into non-ALR uses.


With students able to instantly search aninfinite amount of information online on

any topic and the average five-year-old ableto navigate an iPad or YouTube with ease, itis clear that schools will have to move awayfrom a traditional modelwhere all students readthe same book at thesame time, answer thesame questions and writethe same test.

There is a massive shiftunderway, and as stu-dents go back to schoolnext week, a new optionalcurriculum will be in placefor students up to Grade9. It will be mandatorynext year. Grades 10 to12 are next, with a draftcurriculum expected thisweek.

Teachers have ex-pressed concerns about a lack of trainingand resources to carry out the changes andsome parents are concerned that the newcurriculum doesn’t put enough emphasis onthe basics, particularly in math.

The shift will also bring in new methods ofassessment that could see traditional reportcards and letter grades disappear. A bitfurther off are new graduation requirements,

which could mean the end of every studentpassing the same basic courses and examsin order to get a diploma. When the gradu-ation requirements change, that could havesignificant effects on the post-secondarysystem and how it decides which kids toaccept. That’s why the changes are beingslowly implemented and work is being done

to include post-secondaryschools in the process.

Education Minister MikeBernier said the transitionis happening becauseparents want their kids tosucceed as technologyand innovation reshapesociety.

“Parents expect theirkids to learn the basics— reading, writing andarithmetic. They also wantthem to learn the col-laboration, critical thinkingand communications skillsthey’ll need to succeed incollege, university and theworkforce,” says Bernier.

“Personalized learning is at the heart ofthe changes — and teachers will have thetime and ability to help kids dig into whatinterests them. We all know how passionatekids can be when they get into somethinglike music, soccer, or dinosaurs.

Personalized learning is atthe heart of the changes —and teachers will have thetime and ability to helpkids dig into what inter-ests them– M BEM

Board of Variance AppointmentsRichmond City Council wishes to fill positionson the Board of Variance

Persons interested in serving on the City of Richmond’s Board ofVariance are invited to submit an application, along with a resume,to the attention of the City Clerk’s Office.

Candidates for this 3-year volunteer appointment may come froma broad background and have varied experience. Prospective Boardmembers must be able to be objective, exercise sound judgement,and work collectively to render decisions.

The Board of Variance is appointed by Richmond City Council andis responsible to provide an avenue of appeal for those propertyowners seeking a variance from certain provisions of the ZoningBylaw where compliance with the bylaw would create unduehardship. These appeals are usually in connection with the sitingof buildings or additions, the re-construction or alternation ofbuildings as a non-conforming use, and instances of hardshipresulting from the potential early termination of land use contracts.

It is expected that the 5-member Board of Variance will be veryactive in 2016 and possibly in 2017 with a regular schedule ofbi-weekly or weekly meetings. The volunteer time commitment willbe better estimated by the end of 2015.

Application forms can be obtained at the Information Desk,Main Floor, Richmond City Hall, 6911 No. 3 Road, or on theCity website at www.richmond.ca (City Hall > City Council >Boards & Committees > Advisory Bodies).

EDUCATION in Focus

Education:Teachers question resources

“The new curriculum willgive teachers the ability totap into these passions,”said Bernier.

Teachers, who helped cre-ate the new curriculum, likeits focus on big ideas andcompetencies, but they areconcerned about resources,funding and training.

The B.C. Teachers’ Fed-eration is calling for imple-mentation funding, and saysin an email to members thatthe “funding committed todate falls far short of whatwe know is required to makeimplementation successful.”

Support for students withspecial needs is anotherconcern for the union, as isthe push to train studentsfor trades.

Bernier says teachers willbe trained in how to use thenew curriculum.

“We’re developing just howwe’re going to help teacherstrain to make the most ofthe new curriculum — and Iexpect we’ll have details onexactly how we are going todo that in the near future,”Bernier said.

Jan Unwin, superinten-dent of graduation andstudent transitions forthe ministry of education,

has been heading up thechanges. She wants kids tofollow their passions, but tomake sure they still learn thefacts that are necessary toget by in life.

“Having talked to hun-dreds of graduates, eventhe ones who get all thescholarships, when you talkto them, they sound morecompliant than jazzed abouttheir learning,” Unwin said.“If we keep doing it thisway — which was built for adifferent time and a differ-ent kind of learner and adifferent world — what willhappen if we do nothing?Will we become irrelevant.”

At every age and in everyday, we have challenges,

gifts, and a call to action.In each day, I see all of

life in the patients I serve –from newborns to the longretired.

Even when we cease tobe paid, there is work to do:

this is the work of a lifetimethat we carry out con-sciously or unconsciously.It is the active creation ofour own lives, the writingand rewriting of our own lifestories, and the cultivationof relationships.

For many of us at any age,

life can seem a struggle.We fight, flee or resist whatwe don’t want and we craveand pursue what we want,thinking that when we arefree of that which we don’twant and have all that wedesire, we will be happy andat peace.

But that’s not reality. Lifeis never perfect or if it everis, it won’t stay that way.Change is the reality of life,but we can still be happy.

In youth, what we wantmay be on the horizon andin the future just beyond ourreach.

As time passes, what wewant is in the past — lovedones missed and opportuni-ties lost. In the latter halfof our journey, we may belooking back more than for-ward. The present remindsus of what we don’t have:people no longer with us;our youth, vigour and time.

We forget the possibilitiesof the present.

At every point in life –indeed, in every day – youhave a positive potential tobe realized.

Given your abilities andyour experiences, what canyou do to help another per-son today? There is alwayssomeone in need of justthe thing that we can do forthem.

Looking at the people in

your life today, what can youdo to make each relation-ship even better? Is it timeto call and catch up with anold friend? Is it time for acrucial conversation? Whatthoughtful action wouldexpress your appreciationfor another?

Accept your body as itis. How can you becomeas healthy as you can be?What can you do to helpyourself? What would be thefirst step to improving yourwellbeing?

On Thursday, Sept. 10 at7 p.m., I’ll present a freepublic presentation in theVisitor Centre at the VanDu-sen Botanical Garden (5251Oak Street, Vancouver).

living legend comes to the Gateway Theatre Pacific FestivalThis month, Gateway Theatre welcomes Richmond residents to the Gateway Theatre Pacific Festival.

This is truly a festival for everyone, featuring the best and brightest from Hong Kong’s stages, with English surtitlesopening up the festival to the entire community.

One of the festival’s highlights is the performance of living legend Chung King Fai in an internationally acclaimedproduction of Tuesdays withMorrie. Considered the “Laurence Olivier”of Hong Kong theatre, Chung King Fai hasstarred in countless theatrical productions and has won over 10 Hong Kong Drama Awards. He is a true pioneer ofthe industry, introducingWestern conventions such as Broadway musicals and Theatre of the Absurd toHong Kong audiences. As well as being an iconic stage actor, he has starred in multiple television series since the1970’s, making him one of the longest-standing celebrities in China.

His influence extends far beyond his own stage and screen career. He is the founding Dean of the School of Dramaat the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. Considered a right of passage for actors serious about their craft,the school has produced some of the most successful performers in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.Chung King Fai’s influence on his students is akin to that of revered American acting teacher Lee Strasberg of theActors Studio.

This is hisWestern Canada debut and a rare opportunity for residents to see a living legend at work.Join us for Tuesdays withMorrie, as well as all of the festival’s exciting programming,at this year’s Gateway Theatre Pacific Festival!

Assuming that summerwill soon return after

the recent wind and rainwe’ve endured, here’s atrio of New Zealand winesto quench your Septemberthirst.

Kiwi wines are much likeB.C. wines. Both regions aretemperate and the winesexhibit vibrant fruit with agood degree of acidity.

The result?Balanced wines that are

food-friendly.Take Oyster Bay 2014

Chardonnay ($17.99) forexample. Produced in theSouth Island’s famousMarlborough region, itexudes aromas and flavoursof vanilla from the oak, as

well as a tangy lemon-limeflavour with juicy peach,nectarine and apricot. It hasa sweet fruit taste on themid-palate, but ends on along dry finish.

And if that weren’t enough,the Oyster Bay Chard hasa creamy mouth feel anda bracing acidity, which isjust right for shellfish, suchas oysters, mussels, andprawns.

Oyster Bay was a perfectaperitif last weekend whenI donned my chef’s hatand prepared a homemadepesto pizza with salami and

sausage.Another Marlborough thirst

-quencher which can alsopartner well with seafoodand light meats is Stoneleigh2014 Latitude SauvignonBlanc ($19.49). Zesty andelegant is my overall impres-sion.

I enjoy the regular line ofStoneleigh wines, but this isfrom a premium area, theGolden Mile.

The land is covered withancient river stones whichproduce wines that arearomatically lifted, as well asriper in spectrum.The Latitude has the classicKiwi Sauvignon Blanc sig-nature smells of gooseberryand guava along with grass,

green beans, andasparagus flavoursand a long lemonyfinish.

Like the Oyster BayChard, this LatitudeSB is multipurpose.

Enjoy it as a patiosipper as you savourthe final weeks ofsummer and you waitfor your barbecuedpork with rosemaryand sage to grill toperfection.

Of course, shell-fish and Sauvignon

Blanc is classic match, as ischicken with tarragon andasparagus with béarnaisesauce.

My final choice is a well-respected name among Kiwiwine lovers, Kim Crawford.

Kim Crawford makesdelicious Sauvignon Blancand Chardonnay, but todayI’m focusing on their 2014South Island Pinot Noir($21.99).

And what a winner it is!Pinot Noir is often char-acterized as having a silkytexture.

Some do, some don’t. The

Kim Crawford certainly does.If you are a white wine lover,this would be an excel-lent introduction to trying asmooth and silky red withoutthe bitter tannins you detest.

Unlike many New Zealandwines, the Pinot Noir is ablend from two regions onthe South Island: Marlbor-ough and the interior CentralOtago.

Expect complexity with

toasty vanilla, forest floor,ripe strawberries, rhubarb,beetroot, and black cherry.Stylish and juicy.

Whether it’s a sipper or apartner with rack of lambor barbecued salmon, thisPinot Noir is delicious anda bargain for the quality itdelivers.

Eric Hanson is a retiredteacher and wine educator.

A cure for the summertime thirstsERICHANSONSips Happen


There’s something reassuringly honest whenAndrew Wade tells you a song about putting a

ferret up your nose provided creative inspirationfor him when he was a youngster.

No, he didn’t actually jam a Mustela putoriusfuro — the Latin name for ferret — into his nasalpassage, but it makes about as much sense asdressing up Shakespearian characters in floppyears and bushy tails and making them do thebunny hop in one of the bard’s most gruesomeplays — Titus Andronicus.

But that’s the world the 28-year-old UVIC andMcRoberts grad lives in during a few months ofthe year as he focuses his energies and wit onthe fringe festival circuit, which this year had himperform a self-revealing, one-man show acrossthe country, and a bard parody he penned whichdebuts next week in Vancouver.

Raised by British-born parents, Wade was feda steady diet of off the wall humour — the likesof Spike Milligan and plenty of Monty Python —

and used that perspective tocolour his creative side.

“I think if you asked mewhen I was six what I wantedto be it would have beeneither a singer or a comicbook writer,” Wade saysbetween sips of his mochalatté at Diplomat Bakery inSteveston.

Instead, he embarked on apath towards writing and the

performing arts.“Over the course of three years in high school, I

wrote a show called High School Noire which wasa detective-type story set in a high school featur-ing detective who just rambles on about how life islike metaphors,” Wade says. “Since I’d never seena noir film, it was based strictly off cartoons thatmocked noir films.”

The production never made it to the stage whileWade was at McRoberts, but it was revived a fewyears later when the piece won at The VancouverPlaywright’s Competition.

“It got an honourable mention and was per-formed there. And in the same week a friend ofmine from high school returned to McRoberts todirect a show and performed it there, as well.

“That sparked in me the need to write more.”After high school, Wade says he literally flipped

a coin to choose between writing or studyingtheatre at UVIC.

Writing was the choice, although after two yearsWade added the theatre side.

“Now I have both degrees,” he says, adding in awistfully mocking manner the career he’s chosendoesn’t require a certified stamp of academicqualifications.

Between fringe festival tours that’s left him withabout half a dozen part-time, flexible schedulejobs, ranging from leading tours at Science Worldand the Gulf of Georgia Cannery, to tending thebar at Gateway Theatre, and serving as a mockpatient who gets poked and prodded by herds ofmedical students.

“It’s an uncomfortable day when you’ve got 24

people all reaching under your ribs, trying to deter-mine if your liver has grown or shrunk,” he sayswith a laugh.

But, when he’s on stage, it provides an op-portunity to share certain aspects of his life ina cathartic manner. That comes across in hisone-man show called The Most Honest Man in theWorld, where Wade discusses his enduring questfor candour while constructing a working lie detec-tor on stage.

It’s a process — an unscripted, 70-minute showwith cue cards to keep him on track — whichoften leaves him feeling vulnerable, although notin an unpleasant way.

“I’m a bit of an odd duck in that being on stageis a safe place,” he says. “For some reason, be-ing alone and talking to a bunch of people I’venever met before is a place where I feel more safeemotionally.

“That sorta tells me I had that storyteller genein me, because I’d much rather be feeling thosethings on stage, rather than home alone in myroom.”

As for where ferrets up your nose — a song froma 1960’s British radio program called I’m Sorry I’llRead That Again, which launched John Cleese,Bill Oddie and Tim Brooke-Taylor — and bunnyhopping Shakespearian figures fit in, Wade saysit comes from his Monty Python side of his brain,which produced Titus: The Light and DelightfulMusical Comedy of Titus Andronicus, which is partof the Vancouver Fringe Festival lineup Sept. 10to 20.

The idea came to him during a production ofTitus Andronicus for the Victoria ShakespeareSociety.

“As I was performing in the show, it struck mehow absurd a lot of the story is,” Wade says. “It’svery compelling, dramatic and tense. You feelfor these characters. But at the same time, it hasplot lines where someone decided the best way toconvince people not to go to war, is to dress up insilly costume and pretend they are the demon ofrevenge.”

In the version Wade wrote, Shakespeare strug-gles to fix the show and make it more audience-friendly by transforming it into a musical comedy.

The festival’s website describes it as “a darkstruggle for power and revenge — but why slit athroat when you can sing and dance, right?”

Alocal artist is hoping to use this weekend’s in-augural Richmond World Festival as a platform

to raise awareness of one of the planet’s dyingspecies.

Ming Yeung has created a series of Chinesepaintings inspired by the plight of the varioustypes of rhino that are being poached into extinc-tion around the Earth.

Called Love our Rhinos, Yeung’s handcraftedpaintings will be exhibited for the first time at Sat-urday’s new Richmond World Festival, being heldfrom 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Minoru Park.

“The northern white rhinoceros is the closestto extinction, but Indonesia’s Javan and Suma-tran rhinos are not far behind,” said Yeung, whoteaches Chinese painting in Coquitlam.

“Africa’s black rhinos are also critically en-dangered, while the southern white rhinocerosare “near threatened,” due to being illegallypoached.”

To honour the species, Yeung has devoted theentire, rice paper project to inspiring the publicand future generations to get involved spreadingthe word of how close the rhino is to being nomore.

“I view every opportunity to display artwork andeducate our community as a wonderful way toengage the public in the arts experience,” addedHong Kong-born Yeung, who will soon be runningworkshops at the new City Centre CommunityCentre on No. 3 Road and Firbridge Way.

“Most Canadians have no concept of the poach-ing and I really wanted to bring some attention tothe issue.

“In China, there is aheavy demand for rhinohorn, which can be soldfor up to $60,000 per kilo.And I really don’t want tosee beautiful creaturesdisappearing from ourworld.”

After the RichmondWorld Festival, Yeungis taking her project toVancouver, the Tri-Citiesand then hopefully PortMoody.

*Meanwhile, Saturday’sfree festival is being billedas a “smorgasbord ofmusic, food, sports andculture” at Minoru Park.

Featuring headlineperformances by duo andfestival circuit favou-rites Matt and Kim andGrammy-winning AlexCuba, the festival boastsan array of performanceson multiple stages. Music,dance, visual arts, poets,chefs, and a multi-media“Digital Carnival” will en-tertain festivalgoers from11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

And more than 35 of theregion’s most popular foodtrucks will feature ethnic specialties from nationsaround the globe. A number of acclaimed, localchefs will be sharing their secrets throughout theday on the Richmond Centre Culinary stage.

Drivers are encouraged to carpool as limited

parking is available at Richmond Centre, Rich-mond City Hall and the surrounding neighbour-hood. For the full list of entertainment, go to www.richmondworldfestival.com and for updates,contests, go to facebook.com/richmondworldfest,or @FunRichmond on Twitter.

Long, warm summer evenings andgreat music.That was the recipe for success

of this year’s Music at the Canneryseries which concluded Aug. 28 witha show by Richmond’s own CharlotteDiamond.

Series organizer, Frankie Neilson,said Diamond’s show was great wayto end the event that sold out closeto all of the Friday night dates in July

and August at the Gulf of GeorgiaCannery.

“It got to the point during thesummer that we told people to bethere by 6:15 p.m., otherwise theywere unlikely to get a seat for the6:30 show,” said Neilson, owner ofthe Beatmerchant Record Store inSteveston Village who started theseries in 2013.

of big crowds, but as the series’ rep-utation for quality entertainment hasspread, Neilson said the 160 seatsoutdoors on the cannery’s tank deckhave filled up on a regular basis.

And when the music had to beshifted inside due to poor weather,there was room for the crowd to ex-pand to around 300 — as with Dia-mond’s show which drew to capacitywith several generations of fans of

the children’s entertainer, who’s cel-ebrating 30 years of performing.

With such interest in the admis-sion by donation series, and no wayto get above the indoor and outdoorcapacities without some major,and likely costly renovations to thesites, Neilson said the events havebecome somewhat of a “victim of itsown success.”

— Philip Raphael

For those weekends when you have no plansand just want to laze around the house in your

jammies watching movies, consider this: SubtitlesWon’t Kill You.

I was never a foreign film fan until I startedwatching Israeli movies with subtitles. One of themost hysterical ones I’ve come across is in a longtime is Hunting Elephants, a movie about threeold men and a young boy who cook up a cocka-mamie plot to rob a bank.

Starring Patrick Stewart, known for his role asCapt. Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation,this funny, heartwarming film rates a solid 10.This film is part of Richmond Public Library’s Benand Esther Dayson Judaica Collection.

In Hunting Elephants, the father of 12-year-old

Yonatan dies suddenly, leaving his family almostdestitute. So, Yonatan finds a way to save hisfamily from losing everything. It just so happensthe deceased was the head of security at a bank,so you can see where this is going.

But don’t go getting all complacent. The anticsthat ensue at the senior citizens home where thethree old men live leave hilarious in the rear viewmirror.

For something equally funny but a bit moremature in a naughty, dark sort of way, check outanother Israeli film, Zero Motivation. This film wonseveral film festival awards.

It features three young female soldiers who areso disinterested and disdainful of the Israeli army,that life is just one big joke to them.

Serving in a remote, forgotten army base andbored out of their minds working in an adminis-tration office, all they do is play computer gamesand snipe at each other.

Clearly, their all-business-no-fun superiors are

no match for these three and their outrageouspranks.

Whether this is a realistic portrayal of the atti-tudes of young Israeli soldiers or simply a fictionalconstruct, it makes no difference. It’s just plainfunny. But be warned, it’s a bit racy.

And when you’re done lazing around watchingmovies, why not get a head start on your RoshHashanah (Jewish New Year) cooking?

a 7-3 win over Saskatchewan in the goldmedal game. B.C. won five of six gamesand avenged its only defeat with a 7-4 tri-umph over Alberta in the semi-finals.Or was a solid defensively and also a force

at the plate throughout the tournament.The Grade 11 student at McRoberts

secondary played this past season with theNorth Delta Blue Jays of the B.C. PremierBaseball League.Or came through Richmond City Baseball,

up until the U15 Bantam AAA level wherehe skipped his second-year of eligibility andaged up to help the North Delta Blue JaysJunior team capture the provincial champi-onship in 2014.He then moved on to the Premier team

Dunfee concludes Worlds with personal best in 50 km raceEvan Dunfee capped a memorable summer with a strong

showing in the 50 km race walk at the IAAF World Trackand Field Championships in Beijing.Six days after his 13th place finish in the 20 km race, the

24-year-old from Richmond was 12th in just the fourth timecompeting at that distance. Despite crushing his personalbest time by over eight minutes, with a clocking of 3:49.56,Dunfee was hoping for more to add to Canada’s point total

at the meet.“I came here hoping for a top 15, I got that in the 20km,

so I thought for the 50km, what the heck, I wanted a topeight. I wanted to contribute to our team, earn at least onepoint. I put myself in a good position. I was on the Canadianrecord pace until about 42-43km when wheels came off alittle bit,” he said.“This is my fourth 50km, I’ve blown up in all of them, but

this is the one I’ve blown up the least in. Next time, I’ll tryand blow up a little bit less, but a eight and a half minutepersonal best so I can’t complain.”Having already locked up a spot in the 20km event at the

2016 Summer Olympic Games he is well on his way to add-ing a second race to his schedule.Dunfee began a busy summer by capturing gold in the 20

km race at the Pan Am Games in Toronto.

Clarke makes most of rareWest Coast game for LSUSummer Clarke’s junior season at Louisi-

ana Tech University is off to an impres-sive start and this time she got to play closeto home.The LSU Tigers made a rare appear-

ance in the Pacific Northwest — makingthe 3,200 kilometre journey to Eugene toproduce a 2-1 victory over the University ofOregon Ducks.The 19-year-old Richmond soccer stand-

out opened the scoring in the 24th minutewhen she chipped a shot past Oregongoalkeeper Lauren Holden from just insidethe top of the penalty.“It’s just so important to get the first goal

in a tight game, especially when your awayfrom home,” Clarke said. “It’s the seasonopener and they had the crowd behindthem, so you knew they were going to re-ally pumped up for this game. Scoring thefirst goal meant so much for us in how wewere able to play and push on and comeaway with the win.“Jorian (Baucom) laid off the perfect ball

for me. I got the right contact on it, and Ithink it was still going in the top corner, butI think it got a little touch off one of theirdefenders. It was a great feeling to see it hitthe net.”The Ducks equalized six minutes later

and the Tigers came right back after theensuing kickoff when Baucom notchedwhat proved to be the game winner. Thethree goal outburst was followed by nearlyan hour of scoreless soccer.The Tigers were efficient on the night,

converting two of their three shots ontarget, while their defense limited the Ducks

to five shots.It was LSU’s first trip to Oregon in 10

years.“It’s great because we’ve put in nine

months of hard work. You can ask anyreturners on the team. It wasn’t the pret-tiest game of soccer, but we came hereand got the job done,” added Clarke. “Ourfocus for this game really was to start fast,and we did that coming out with the win.The feeling after the game was just so greatamong the team knowing we got what wecame here for.”Clarke is the program’s active career

scoring leader as she entered this seasonwith 17 goals to her name in two previouscampaigns at Baton Rouge, including herteam-leading 10 goals as a freshman in2013 en route to earning Second-TeamAll-SEC honors.The Canadian international followed with

seven goals as a sophomore in 2014 torank second on the squad.Corner kicks...Closer to home, Clarke’s former team-

mate Amrit Berar set up the game’s open-ing goal as the UBC Thunderbirds posteda 2-1 win over Western Washington onSaturday in Bellingham.Berar jumped on a poor pass and found

Jasmin Dhanada with a long ball for abreakaway goal as UBC went on to de-feated its NCAA Division II opponent.She also scored the previous week in a

7-0 romp over the Northwest Eagles.UBC opens up Canada West conference

play this weekend against the University ofVictoria in the provincial capital.
