Medium-sized lab contained solvents and corrosive liquids

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

Richmond RCMP’s drug section and the fed-eral RCMP clandestine drug lab team were dismantling on Monday what’s described as a medium-sized ecstasy lab discovered a day earlier on Triangle Road.

Police were responding to a call that two people had broken into the property just after noon on Sunday and were seen loading items into an awaiting vehicle.

The suspects fled on foot after their red 2014 Hyundai Tucson became stuck at the edge of the driveway, its front driver’s side wheel sus-pended above the ditch.

Investigators dressed in hazardous material suits spent Monday dismantling the operation and removing the barrels of chemicals and var-

ious equipment, including drug lab glassware, from the scene.

Richmond RCMP Acting Cpl. Dennis Hwang said a “considerable amount of solvents and corrosive liquids commonly used in the pro-duction of synthetic drugs were also located.”

The older house, which appears to have been built in the 1950s or 1960, was unoccupied at the time. The house has a number of large buildings attached to it, and several vehicles are parked in a field on the five acre property at 14291 Triangle Rd.

The house sits directly behind Richmond Ice Centre and across from the Extreme Air trampo-line park at the Riverport Entertainment Complex off No. 6 Road, and next to SilverCity Theatres.

“Synthetic drug labs pose a significant threat to public safety and to the environment,” Sgt. Darin Sheppard of the RCMP Organized Crime Synthetic Drug Operations, said. “Their impact can affect generations to come. Please assist your local police by reporting any suspicious activity.”

Anyone with information about the drug lab is asked to call 604-278-1212.

Steveston cell towers only temporary, says city

Demolition of Lions Manor forced cell companies to find new antenna locations

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

A new cellphone tower built just behind a townhouse complex in South Richmond without warning has raised the ire of an area resident.

Ken Chung, a resident of Southpointe Cove on No. 2 Road near Moncton Street said workers erected the tower less than 40 metres away just before Christmas. In an e-mail to city council, he called it a “huge eyesore.”

“We heard nothing from the city or the company who put up tower,” he wrote. “Why so close to the houses and daycare when an-other tower so close?”

According to the City of Richmond, Cas-cadia Tower Ltd. installed the 14.9-metre cell tower for Telus as a temporary measure due to the demolition of Lions Manor in Ste-veston—which had Telus and Rogers towers on its roof. The care home’s owner, Vancou-ver Coastal Health Authority, allowed Rogers to keep a tower on site, but Telus had to look elsewhere. It found temporary sites on No. 2 Road and on the Steveston Buddhist Temple property on Garry Street.

But a rollout of new technology from Telus is eliminating the need for new towers in the area, and the temporary structures will likely be removed next month. Telus has un-til March 1, according to city spokesperson Ted Townsend.

The city didn’t require public consultation because the tower is under 15 metres and on appropriately-zoned land. Townsend noted Telus voluntarily alerted 22 single-family homes to the south of the tower—but not to the townhouses to the east.

Last September city council approved an-other cellphone tower in East Richmond. The 30-metre telecommunication antenna tower was built on industrial land at 7411 Nelson Rd., near three other towers of com-peting providers.

Richmond Photo Club members lean on each other while honing craft with help from pros


Brian Phillips spotted the bird recently outside his South Richmond apartment. This was no ordinary heron or snow goose, but a hummingbird, illuminated from be-hind by the sun and bathed in warm fall foliage.

With his Canon at the ready, he snapped a photograph—one of many taken by Rich-mond Photo Club members who capture

countless scenes of Richmond and beyond while improving their craft.

“It’s a sharing experience. I learn from ev-ery meeting from other people’s work, from their photographs. It’s a constant learning process,” said Phillips, a member of the group since 1990.

At club meetings, members offer evalua-tions, learn from guest speakers and hone skills through workshops. The 50-plus members also participate in field trips and exhibitions.

Member Alice Jensen-Stanley started snapping photos at age eight. She’s since filled dozens of photo albums, but gave new focus to her hobby after joining the club.

“We have many different levels of photog-raphers within the club, yet everyone loves to learn from guest speakers and master judges who critique our images on compe-

tition nights.”Jensen-Stanley fills frames with a range

of subjects, but has a particular interest in botanicals and digital manipulation.

“It’s just a whole new ballgame. You can get so creative. For a person who can’t draw—I’m always the last to be picked for Piction-ary—you can get behind the computer and it’s wonderful what you can concoct.”

The group meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, from September to June, at 7 p.m. in the painting studio of the Richmond Cultural Centre (7700 Minoru Gate). New members are welcome, and guests are welcome to participate in two complimentary evenings.

The club will also host its annual print exhibit at Lansdowne Centre mall Feb. 10 to 15. For more information visit www.richmondphotoclub.com.

Some instructors object to new rules requiring them to shoulder cost of insurance


A dispute between instructors and the city has postponed some Richmond Arts Centre classes in-

definitely.Classes in various arts disci-

plines were originally scheduled to begin the week of Jan. 5, but a disagreement over new contract language forcing instructors to shoulder the cost of insurance prompted the city to delay the start of some programs.

“It’s David and Goliath,” said a source close to the instructors. “There’s no resources for (the teachers)—all they have is what they can find on the Internet. Overall it’s extremely frustrating.”

City spokesperson Ted

Townsend said the city has a longstanding process of us-ing independent contractors to teach courses at the arts centre, and said the city has no plans to change that relationship.

“It was identified there was a gap in insurance coverage,” he said. “It had been believed that these contractors were covered under city insurance, but that is not the case.”

The city determined the instruc-tors would have to provide their own insurance, as is the case with other contractors for city hall. But

some instructors have objected to the change, and insist they be treated as employees.

“At this point there have been some classes postponed—noth-ing cancelled yet. It’s a work in progress,” said Townsend.

Instructors were notified in September the change was com-ing, said Townsend, adding the cost of the insurance is “not sig-nificant”—between $50 to $180. He added the city is providing a premium to instructors, on top of their regular rate, to offset the new expense.

Dispute cancels classes at Richmond Arts Centre Workplace culture talk tomorrow at library

A free workshop on Canadian Workplace Culture takes place Thursday, Jan. 15 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Richmond Public Library (7700 Minoru Gate).

Participants will learn about Canadian employer expectations, inter-cultural com-munication, common workplace behaviours, and cross generational workplaces. This is part of a monthly “Help Wanted” series that helps job seekers navigate the Canadian job market. This workshop is presented by employment counsellors at Skills Connect for Immigrants Program at Back in Motion.

BCGEU, Protrans BC to resume talks with mediator

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

Canada Line workers have vot-ed 99 per cent in favour of strike action to back their demands for a new contract.

But no immediate walkout is anticipated as a round of media-tion is scheduled to begin Jan. 19 between negotiators for the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union and employer Protrans BC, which is owned by SNC-Lavalin.

“The strength of the strike vote reflects the commitment of our members to negotiate a fair and reasonable collective agreement,” BCGEU treasurer Paul Finch said.

“If mediation fails we are pre-pared to increase pressure to negotiate an agreement.”

The 150 unionized Canada Line workers include station and platform attendants, vehicle and electronic system techni-cians and control room opera-tors.

Station attendants started at $23 an hour as of 2012, accord-ing to their just-expired col-lective agreement, while most technician or operator positions

are paid $35 to $42 an hour.The strike vote raises the po-

tential of a rapid transit system labour disruption as Metro Van-couverites prepare to vote in an upcoming transit tax referen-dum.

Unionized bus drivers last fall agreed to a one-year contract extension to avoid a labour dis-pute during the referendum.

Dollar’s drop may slow waste flow trend

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

Garbage exports from the Lower Mainland to the U.S. hit an all-time high in December, ac-cording to estimates from Metro Vancouver.

They show loads of garbage heading south for landfills in Wash-ington State climbed 60 per cent over the last year to more than 19,000 tonnes per month.

Metro Vancouver last year tried to ban haul-ers from trucking waste out of the region over fears the rising flow of outbound garbage will cost the region millions in lost tipping fees and thwart recycling goals, as those loads are not subject to waste dumping rules, such as Metro’s new ban on

disposal of food waste.Environment Minister

Mary Polak in October rejected the proposed ban but named MLA Marvin Hunt to review whether some form of regulation is required to control waste flows.

Hunt is expected to report back with rec-ommendations in the coming weeks.

Critics have accused Metro of simply trying to keep waste in-region to feed a planned new incinerator and hope a final provincial deci-sion will be the nail in the coffin of its waste-to-energy agenda.

Some industry play-ers also believe Metro has exaggerated the threat of garbage ex-ports, which they pre-dict will be less viable now that the dollar’s drop from par to 85 cents has made it more expensive to use U.S. landfills.

“Fifteen per cent is a heck of a swing,” said Ralph McRae, chair of NorthWest Waste So-

lutions, which does not haul outside the region. “That’s got to make it less economic.”

Belkorp Environmen-tal vice-president Russ Black suggested haul-ers who are still ship-ping to the U.S. are now “doing it out of stubbornness, not out of profitability.”

Metro solid waste general manager Paul Henderson agreed haulers’ profit margins are likely getting thin-ner, but said that hasn’t yet translated into any drop in how much gar-bage is shipped out, bypassing Metro trans-fer stations.

Black said Metro could cut its tipping fee to become more competitive and re-capture some of the garbage business it’s been losing to the U.S.

Belkorp wants ap-proval to build mate-rial recovery facilities – plants that break open garbage bags and separate out the recyclables that would

otherwise be landfilled or incinerated – and Black said he made his case for the technol-ogy in a recent meeting with Hunt.

The Surrey MLA was an outspoken support-er of waste-to-energy back when he was a Surrey councillor on the Metro board.

Black said Hunt still seems to support incin-eration but was open minded, particularly to private sector solu-tions.

Black maintains there are limits to how far people will go to sepa-rate out their recyca-bles and food scraps, and also to the region’s ability to enforce its bans on dumping them.

He said Belkorp’s pro-posed NextUse plant in Coquitlam would offer a lass pass at extracting recyclables that would otherwise be garbage.

“We think that’s a bet-ter idea than burning the bag,” he said, refer-ring to Metro plans to build a new waste-to-energy plant that may cost $500 million. “Our option is much more cost-effective because it’s private sector risk capital.”

Even if Metro reaches an ambitious target of 80 per cent recycling, he said at least half of the remaining garbage would still be recycla-ble or compostable.

Belkorp also oper-ates the Cache Creek Landfill, which Metro intends to stop using, and regional politicians claim the company’s real agenda is to hang onto its garbage busi-ness by undermining waste-to-energy.

Richmond Centre MLA Teresa Wat has signed another trade deal with China, as the province continues advancing economic ties across the Pacific Ocean.

The government announced a new agreement last Friday between B.C. and Shanghai, China, calling it a 2015 joint action plan that builds on Wat’s 2013 trade mission to China.

The deal, signed by Wat, B.C.’s Minis-ter of International Trade, and Li Yaox-in, chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informa-tization, focuses on “facilitating com-

mercial partnerships between B.C. and Shanghai businesses in the technology sector,” according to a news release.

“This agreement paves the way for increased trade and investment ties in key sectors in China. My role, and the role of my ministry, is to grow B.C.’s economy using international opportu-nities,” said Wat.

The action plan will also promote Shanghai business participation in the 2015 Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Conference in Vancouver in April, and formalizes dialogue between the B.C. Trade and Investment Office in Shanghai and the Shanghai com-mission.

Richmond School District’s annual Learning and the Brain Conference is set for Jan. 24


Student anxiety will be explored at this year’s Learning and the Brain Conference, whose key-note speaker specializes in work-ing with anxious youth and their families.

The annual Richmond School District conference, now in its 16th year, is scheduled for Jan. 24 at MacNeill Secondary School. This year’s theme is “Supporting today’s youth: tomorrow’s lead-ers,” and features registered clini-cal counsellor Stephenie Gold as speaker.

Gold regularly presents on child-hood anxiety in communities across B.C. She has researched the impact of school-based anxi-ety prevention programs, and has

co-authored several papers on the subject.

Gold is a graduate of the Neufeld Institute, and is a committee mem-ber for the Dalai Lama Centre for Peace and Education.

Her talk, “Supporting anxious children and teens,” will focus on helping parents and profession-als recognize signs of anxiety in young people from kindergarten

to Grade 12. Conference par-ticipants will learn of the various research-based approaches to treating child anxiety and hear practical strategies and resources for supporting anxious children at home and school.

Workshops this year: the role of social emotional learning; sup-porting mathematical thinking; recognizing depression; iPad apps; active body, smarter brain; reading strategies for primary children; supporting English lan-guage learners; foundations of ad-diction; digital resources; different aspects of learning; environmen-tal stewardship; how technology can support French immersion students; First Peoples Principles of Learning; and post-secondary options.

The conference is free to attend, and is open to all Richmond parents, caregivers and educators of children from preschool to adolescence. Fourteen workshops will be offered, both in English and Chinese.

The Saturday conference takes place from 8:15 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Register by Jan. 20 at sd38.bc.ca or at the Richmond School Board offices, 7811 Granville Ave.

Stephenie Gold will be the fea-tured speaker at the annual Learn-ing and the Brain Conference..

Outdoor treasure hunters can now participate in the trending game of geocaching in Richmond.

Richmond parks staff have hidden 30 geocache containers around the city—in parks, on trails and at community facilities. Participants of the Richmond Geo-Quest game use a smartphone or global positioning system device, and navigate using GPS coordinates to find the hidden caches.

Participants who find all the caches and record their secret words on a Geo-Quest passport are eligible to receive a limited edition trackable geo-coin from the Richmond Nature Park.

Richmond’s program is the first official GeoTour of a Canadian city on geocaching.com, according to city hall.

The activity exists worldwide. Over 2.5 million geocaches exist in 180 countries, according to the geocaching.com website, which also boasts over 160,000 Canadian users.

Participants can sign up to a free account at geo-caching.com, and download a passport at rich-mond.ca/geocaching.

My Christmas reading includ-ed a fascinat-

ing new book called <I>Kennewick Man</I>, a study of skeletal remains discovered in 1996 on the bank of the Columbia River in eastern Washington.

He was an ancient hunter buried just south of B.C. almost 9,000 years ago, in the Early Holocene period following the last Ice Age. Among the oldest humans found along the West Coast of North America, he sparked an unprecedented battle by the Smithsonian Institution to examine the skeleton and publish the book late last year.

The most controversial evidence came from the skull. It doesn’t match the classic Mongoloid profile of modern aboriginal people, key to the theory that the earliest humans reached North America by land bridge from Siberia to Alaska as glaciers receded.

Smithsonian scientists confirmed initial reports that Kennewick Man is a closer match with early Polynesians, and the Ainu people who remain in Japan today. He lived until about age 40, surviving for years with a stone spear point stuck in his hip.

The authors conclude from chemical analysis that

“Kennewick Man could not have been a long-time resident of the area where he was found, but instead lived most of his adult life somewhere along the Northwest and North Pacific coast where marine mammals were readily available.”

This suggests migration by sea, perhaps from a great distance.

The U.S. Army seized the skeleton. The scientists sued and eventually won the right to a brief ex-amination. The court case exposed brutal and illegal actions of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and fed-eral departments to destroy the site and intimidate the scientists.

U.S. law demanded all re-mains from before Europe-an settlement be repatriat-ed for burial by local tribes,

without examination.Umatilla tribe spokesman

Armand Minthorn wrote in 1996: “We view this practice as desecration of the body and a violation of our most deeply-held religious beliefs.

“From our oral histories, we know that our people have been part of this land since the beginning of time. We do not believe that our people migrated here from another continent, as the scientists do.”

The head of the Society for American Archaeology tried to get the researchers to drop their lawsuit, fear-ing it would interfere with fragile relationships with area tribes.

The U.S. Justice Depart-ment warned the Smith-sonian that lead scientist Douglas Owsley and others might be in crimi-

nal conflict of interest as federal employees suing the government. Even the White House weighed in against them.

Meanwhile the skel-eton was mishandled and later stored in substandard conditions at a Seattle museum, where it remains today. Parts of both femurs were lost, and scientists were falsely accused of taking them. They had been removed by tribal represen-tatives and secretly buried.

Kennewick Man was found as the army was in tense negotiations with tribes on salmon fishing rights on the Columbia, their demand for removal of dams, and the $100 bil-lion cleanup of the Hanford nuclear site.

The scientists finally won their case in 2004, with a ruling that the skeleton is

so old there isn’t enough evidence to show it is related to the current tribes. The judge found the army repeatedly misled the court, and assessed the government $2.4 million in costs.

The U.S. Army still controls the skeleton and denies re-quests for further study. The spear point, for example, could show the location where he was injured.

One final irony. Analysis shows Kennewick Man ate mostly salmon in his later years, around 6300 BCE. These are the salmon runs wiped out by dams built by U.S. Army engineers before the signing of the Columbia River Treaty with B.C.

Terrorism is on the minds of many people these days, given last week’s events in France. Canada

is not immune from the challenges posed by terrorists, with ISIS specifi-cally naming Canada as a target last week.

The organization, which holds parts of Iraq and Syria and continues to engage in brutal attacks on innocent people, is under attack by Canada and many other allied nations. It has been threatening Canada for months, with at least one Canadian, John Maguire, appear-ing in ISIS videos and calling for attacks on his countrymen.

Many Canadians felt immune from terrorism until the attacks on Canadian Forces mem-bers in Ottawa and Quebec last fall. While the people involved in both of those cases ap-parently acted on their own, and at least one was suffering from mental illness, the attacks shook many Canadians. An attack on a soldier standing guard at the National War Memorial, and the lone shooter then getting into the Parliament Buildings, was a brazen and chilling moment.

The federal government is ready and willing to boost surveillance of potential “radicalized” individuals, and its moves in this area will be supported by a large majority of citizens. They want to get back to the “peace and order” that

usually characterizes Canada.Unfortunately, there is no way to guarantee

that. The world is a much smaller place, with air travel to almost any place easily available, and social media used extensively to shape and change peoples’ attitudes.

Some people suggest that all terrorists are Muslims and feel that the root of the problem is that particular religion. This is a very narrow-minded and wrong-headed approach to take. The fact is that there are people of many differ-ent ethnic and religious backgrounds who feel they need to take their grievances and explode them on the world stage. Any way that they can be identified early and stopped is useful.

EDITORIAL: Terrorism is on people’s minds


Editor:My heart goes out to Ms. C. Chow

(“Driver had a very good reason to be parking in a handicap spot,” Letters, Dec. 26). I feel sorry that she was yelled by a lady who assumed she was abusing the system for having her daughter park in a handicap spot with the handicap decal displayed, though Ms. Chow herself stayed in the car because her legs were too swollen to walk comfortably. I am also sorry to read four letters (“Driver had it wrong,” Letters, Dec. 31) that also accuse her of being wrong and similarly conclude she is abusing the system.

My own mother-in-law had termi-nal cancer before she passed away and I know all too clearly the difficul-ties of bringing her around in Rich-mond. Parking in Richmond can be very competitive and sometimes we couldn't find a handicap spot. This was very troublesome as she needed two to three people to help her out of the car and into her wheelchair.

Due to her very poor condition, sometimes we were not in a position to follow every single parking law perfectly. This was because during her last few months, she was in utter pain every time she tried to walk a few steps. So we tried to make it as comfortable as possible for her to leave the car while inconveniencing

others as little as possible.A handicap spot is for a disabled

person who has a handicap decal clearly displayed from the vehicle, although I will not argue about the legal technicalities of this. In his letter, Mr. Thomas D. Behm asks why would a handicapped person need a handicap spot if they were not getting out of the vehicle? My answer is this: because the handi-capped person may have intended or tried to get out of the vehicle, but the physical pain of leaving the car may have become too much to en-dure. So rather be in utter pain and become an extra burden to the able-bodied chaperone, the handicapped person has chosen to swallow his/her dignity and (sadly) sit in the vehicle. And the driver, who is most likely a loved one, does not want to further crush this person's dignity by finding another parking spot at this moment.

Merge signs only confuse mattersEditor:

Whose dumb idea was it to put up the three stupid signs teaching us how to “merge like a zipper” as we exit the Massey Tunnel north-bound to Steveston Highway?

Seriously, give me a break. For a city full of already confused drivers, these stupid signs are a distracting, frustrating eyesore.

ICBC rates will make up for end of AirCareEditor:

I read the article in The Review on Friday, Jan. 2 about the end of AirCare.

Keep in mind the Liberal government under Christy Clark is in control and although AirCare is gone the fee is not because ICBC is seeking a $40 rate increase.

Thanks for the New Year’s gift, Christy.

Tong Moo Do Martial Arts School is celebrating its 20th anniversary. For the past two decades Tong Moo Do has been committed to enhancing the lives of its students through martial arts training. “What we are most happy about, is hearing the difference that we’ve made in people’s lives over the past 20 years”, says Master Joseph Jung. “People have told us time and time again how Tong Moo Do has shaped who they are as a person.”

One past student had this to say about Tong Moo Do, “To say that something you’ve done has changed your life is a substantial statement that can’t be taken lightly. It’s not

every day that you can say that you’ve actually done something important enough that it actually changed something in your life for the better. In my case, Tong Moo Do has truly changed my life.” Another student says, “Tong Moo Do has made me feel like I can accomplish anything.”

When asked what the focus of Tong Moo Do is, Master Jung responds, “Our goal is to develop strong character and leadership in our students. Regardless of what students can accomplish with their martial arts, we feel that if we can build leaders with strong character, then they will be successful in any

endeavour they pursue in life.”

Classes at Tong Moo Do bring many benefits. There are the obvious physical benefits that come with martial arts training, balance, strength, flexibility, and coordination. There is also a social component to the classes, as students form lifelong friendships through classes. And of course, there is the simple fact that Tong Moo

The Year of Marsala

L ast year was all about the bright and cheerful radi-

ant orchid. But with the new year, it’s time to shift to the colour of 2015 — Marsala. De-scribed as a “naturally robust and earthy red wine” by the colour institute Pantone, Mar-sala is a bit of a divisive pick. Previous colours have been Tangerine Tango in 2012 and Emerald in 2013, so going from vibrant,

popular shades to the more organic and earthy Marsala have opinions more mixed than usual. Critics ar-gue Marsala resembles rust or is too similar to oxblood, another reddish-brown shade that already took the fashion world by storm two fall

seasons ago.The Colour of the

Year is chosen by Pantone after observ-ing trends in fashion, art and interior design. A global leader in manufacturing co-lours, Pantone sets the standards for the de-sign industry. Named after a Sicilian fortifi ed dessert wine, Marsala represents confi dence and stability. The colour is sultry yet sophisticated, working as a standalone shade or an accent colour — instantly adding warmth to interiors. The great thing about Marsala is that it can function as a neutral so it’s a good colour option for accessories such as handbags, shoes and jewelry.

Marsala made an impact in a few collec-tions this year. Derek Lam embraced the Colour of the Year in his spring 2015 col-lection with reddish-brown tops and pants. He complemented

the colour with light shades of purple and teal. Gucci used Marsa-la-hued fur details to add some elegant glamour to the coats, vests and skirts in their collection. Over at Calvin Klein, lasercut leather dresses and coats in Marsala were the highlights of their

spring show. And in Kenzo’s pre-fall showcase, the design-ers used wine-inspired shades on their bags, pants, sweaters and coats.

With its more neutral tone, Marsala works well for both mens-wear and womens-wear. Pair the colour with black for a more classic monochromatic look that’ll be perfect for fall. Or work the shade with blues, greens or purples for a bolder approach. Mar-sala is also compatible with pinks, teals and greys. So play around with the diff erent co-lour combinations to see how Marsala can best suit your style. A subtler way to incorpo-rate Marsala into your wardrobe is through accessories such as bags and shoes. Look for boots or purses in

a bordeaux leather or suede for something similar to Marsala. Pat-terned clothing with Marsala details is also an easy way to add the “it” colour to your outfi ts this year.

Another great way to add the Colour of the Year to your rou-tine is through make-

up. With it’s seductive, dark rose quality a Marsala lip colour is a simple but bold way to include the shade into your beauty repertoire. Each year, makeup brand and retailer Sephora collaborates with Pantone to create a collection inspired by the Colour of the Year. Head to your nearest Sephora to grab Mar-sala eye shadow pal-ettes, lipsticks, blushes, liquid liners and even mascara. Like with any dramatic fl ourishes, play up either your lips or your eyes with Mar-sala beauty products and keep the rest of the face minimal.

If Marsala isn’t your cup of tea, yellow and red will be hot colours for this year’s spring and summer season. Flowy, sunny yellow dresses were spotted on the runways at

Chloe, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Carolina Herrera. As for red, crimson shades popped up at shows such as DSquared2, Preen and Dolce & Gabbana. Whatever colours you gravitate towards, make it a fashion resolution to experiment with dif-

ferent colour combina-tions this year.

Hot on the heels of Monday’s Pacific Ju-nior Hockey League all-star game at Burn-aby Winter Club, best on best will meet up again Thursday at Minoru Arenas.

Sporting the best record in the Harold Brittain Conference standings at 16-11-2-5, Aldergrove Kodiaks will visit the Richmond Sockeyes—tied with North Vancouver Wolf Pack atop the Tom Shaw Conference—and sporting the best over-all record in the league at 26-7-0-2.

Game time is 7 p.m.The Sockeyes are coming off a 3-2 up-

set loss to Mission City Outlaws here last week. Prior to that setback, the Sockeyes

had reeled a 6-3 win over the Kodiaks last Wednesday in Aldergrove and a 2-0 loss to Abbotsford Pilots on Dec. 19.

The Sockeyes, as they frequently have this season. got off to a quick start with Ty-ler Paterson scoring just 50 seconds into the game. But Mission reeled off three goals in a row—outscoring the Sockeyes 2-0 in the second period—to take a 3-1 lead. Troy Kaczynski, the league’s leading scorer with 67 points in 33 games, cut the margin to 3-2 with his 37th goal of the season at 13:06 of the third period but the Outlaws were able to hang on.

Daniel Oakley scored twice and assisted on another and Matthew Bissett had a goal and two helpers to pace the Sock-eyes’ victory in Aldergrove.

A commitment to team defence propelled Rich-mond Minor Hockey’s Midget C2 Blues to top spot at their annual Ban-tam/Midget C tourna-ment recently.

In eight games over three days, Richmond al-lowed just six goals and posted four shutouts.

An exhausted Blues’ team had the dig deep for the victory in the champi-onship game, however, forcing overtime with only 4.4 seconds remain-ing in regulation and then getting a clutch goal from third-year player Mat-

thew Wong 90 seconds into overtime to edge Seattle 2-1.

Joining Wong in cel-ebrating were his team-mates Jonah Cheung, Carlos Cuevas, Graham Fleming Adam Kamide, Martin Law, Bryan Mann, Michael Minhas, Tyler Newcomb, Kyle New-comb, Marcus Parmar, Sam Pratt, Rohaan Qaiser, Arjan Sandhu, Nathan Villerius, Greg Wenzel and Spencer Woo and coaches Tony Wong and Todd Mann.

Richmond Colts will host their annual Colt Classic juvenile boys’ basketball tour-nament this weekend at Richmond Secondary School.

Colts’ coach and tournament organizer Jared Hume, a graduate of the vaunted Colts’ program under the tutelage of its former legendary coach Bill Disbrow, is looking forward to the 2015 event which goes this Friday and Saturday.

“We believe we have brought together a great group of teams this year,” said Hulme, noting the Colts will host the likes of Lulu Island rival Matthew McNair Marlins, Surrey’s Semiahmoo Totems, North Vancouver’s Handsworth Royals, Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Ravens, Eliphinstone from Gibsons, and Kitsilano and St. George’s from Vancouver.

Tournament play begins at 3 p.m. with Kitsilano facing Eliphinstone, followed at 4:30 p.m. by Richmond and Terry Fox. Handsworth plays Semiahmoo at 6 p.m., with the nightcap featuring McNair and St. Georges at 7:30 p.m.

Play resumes with consolation action at 9 a.m. Saturday. The championship round tips off at 3 p.m., with the title game at 7:30 p.m.

Colt Classic returns

Richmond City gearing up to ‘Play ball!’by Don FennellSports Editor

John Braaten wears his hat proud-ly—both as president of the Rich-mond City Baseball Association and second vice-president of BC Baseball.

In the dual roles, the enthusiastic and dedicated baseball official is afforded even more insight into baseball in Canada and more specifically in B.C. And what’s trending is encouraging.

Richmond City Baseball has seen an increase in registration numbers over the past couple of years. And while Braaten attributes, at least partly the growth to the excitement of roster changes in the Toronto Blue Jays and in the Seattle Mariners—the two Major League Baseball teams most closely followed by local base-ball fans—he believes the success of Canadians at the professional level is helping to generate interest.

“The excitement with the recent Toronto Blue Jays’ roster changes has aided in baseball growth and interest. Unfortunately each year the promise has not lived up to the hype,” he says. “Also aiding is the excitement in Seattle with two major roster signings each of the last two years, and this year Nelson Cruz is making the club a hot stove topic within the baseball community.

Each team having Canadians on their roster only aids in the popularity of the two organizations.”

But Braaten maintains the main reason for growth at the youth level is because of Baseball Canada, and regionally BC Baseball, focusing on grassroots programming. The Rally Cap program, and its follow-up, the Grand Slam program, offer younger players more structured program-ming in the early years, he says.

“We are now a couple of years into this structure and have seen signifi-cant growth in younger divisions, to the point where 45 per cent of our registrants are between the ages of five and nine. Word of mouth about smaller teams and more activity during sessions (also helps),” he says.

Richmond City Baseball will introduce the Grand Slam program this year for players ages eight and nine as contin-ued player development. That meets Baseball Canada’s Long Term Athlete Development objective.

While many sports have become year-round activities, baseball has primarily remained a summer activ-ity. Braaten says baseball continues to build itself as a summer outdoor sport that puts the emphasis on engaging the younger players more effectively—to the point they go to the park each

week and not stand alone in the field for two hours as in the past.

At the provincial level, BC Baseball is offering more individual high-per-formance opportunities for players at the under-13, under-15, under-16 and under-18 levels for the chance to travel in-season and represent the province on summer all-star teams.

Richmond City Baseball is also in-

troducing Challenger Baseball this season that provides an opportunity for children for ages five to 18 with cognitive or physical disabilities to en-joy the full benefits of participation in baseball at a level structured to their abilities. Baseball games are played in a fun, safe environment where no score is kept. Able-bodied “buddies” are assigned (one-on-one, where pos-

sible) to each participant. These bud-dies assist the Challenger Baseball players with their involvement in the game—pushing wheelchairs around the base path, assisting players in how to hold the bat and swing, or provid-ing protection for the Challenger Baseball player from a batted ball, are just a few of the ways the buddies of-fer a better experience for the partici-pants in Challenger Baseball.

“Each participant is treated like ev-ery other player in the conventional baseball program. All players are outfitted in uniforms, use the same equipment, and play their games at the local baseball parks,” says Braaten. “And a team picture is a must for Chal-lenger Baseball, as it is in the other di-visions. Last but not least, the smiles are plentiful and free. The joy on the face of each participant in Challenger Baseball makes it very clear how much fun they are having. No pressures, no playing time issues, everyone just has fun! It’s what baseball is supposed to be all about.”

Richmond City Baseball recently opened it’s new Blundell training facil-ity which allows for year-round training of all ages. Its covered roof and interior lighting allow for players to have an opportunity to improve their skill set without being affected by weather.

When Mitchell Gordon strides onto the ice at the Rogers K-Rock Centre

during next week’s 2015 Canadian Tire National Skating Champion-ships in Kingston, Ont., he’ll be reminding himself of the virtues of patience.

“I recognize I really have to be patient now,” says the gifted 18-year-old Gordon, who seemingly breezed to the top of the junior ranks in 2012 to become the Cana-dian national junior champion, and then placed an impressive 16th at the 2013 World Junior Championships in Milan, Italy.

An eight-time provincial champion, including the senior winner from 2013 through 2015, the Connaught skater placed second only to Canadian champi-on—and former Connaught skater—Nam Nguyen (now residing in Ontario) at last month’s qualifier in Pierrefonds, Que. to qualify for the nationals along with four of his teammates. However, his goals at the Jan. 16 to 24 event are more conserva-tive—to finish in the top eight and earn 200 points, a total that would be close to a personal best.

Gordon is looking at his current train-ing, with longtime coaches Keegan and Eileen Murphy, as a path to qualifying for the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Py-eongChang, South Korea which he notes is still three-and half years away.

Unlike when he dominated the novice and junior ranks, he is surrounded by many more elite skaters at the senior level. He figures any of five, at least, could chal-lenge for top spot. He says at this point the physical aspect of skating is actually more instinctive, and now the mental part of skating becomes a greater challenge.

Performance paramount for Cuevas, Gosselin

For two of Gordon’s Connaught team-mates, who will also be skating at nation-als, even more important than placement is the opportunity to perform in front of an appreciative audience. Like actors on a stage, Garrett Gosselin and Shawn Cuevas love to entertain.

“I’m still a kid at heart, and was always the class clown,” says 18-year-old Cuevas, who laced up his first pair of skates at the age of eight.

But don’t take that to mean he’s not competitive, as Cuevas hopes to build on his second-place finish at the recent sectionals that earned him a place at nationals.

Garrett Gosselin, 22, is returning to a national championships that he placed 12th in a year ago. The Regina, Sask. na-tive moved to the West Coast last year for school and to train with coach Keegan Murphy at the Connaught Skating Club in Richmond.

“I’ve known Keegan for a while and this opportunity offered me a change in train-ing,” says Gosselin, who is taking contem-porary dance and international studies at Simon Fraser University.

Gifted artistically, he’s not eyeing a spot on the Olympic team but instead hopes to parlay his experiences in skating into coaching—ideally as a choreographer.

Meantime, he says he’s trying to perfect the most challenging skills to make them look effortless.

McHugh, Carroll inspired by Rochette, Gold respectively

Jessica McHugh, 14, also loves the joy of performing and says the jumps are an en-joyable and rewarding element of skating.

Hoping to place in the top 10 at nation-als, McHugh began skating when she was six years old and has an affinity for such challenging sports—as evident by her ad-ditional passion for downhill skiing.

McHugh also appreciates the artistic side of skating, and the dedication required to become one of the best. Her favourite skater is Joannie Rochette, the 2010 Olym-pic bronze medallist from Montreal who captivated the nation with her decision to remain in the competition and skate in her mother’s honour after her mother died of a heart attack two days earlier.

Elvie Carroll, also 14, has been skating for 11 years and lists American Gracie Gold—the 2012 world junior silver medallist, as her favourite skater.

“She uses her face to express herself so well. It’s sometjing I struggle with,” says Car-roll, who when not on the ice enjoys hang-ing out with friends and reading.

“I want to be a strong performer techni-cally and artistically,” adds Carroll, who can spin and jump with the best. “But practice makes perfect and you’ve got to love it.”

Connaught skaters to nationals

Don Fennell photoConnaught skaters (from left) Mitchell Gordon, Elvie Carroll, Shawn Cueves, Jessica McHugh and Garrett Gosselin will represent the Rich-mond club at next week’s 2015 Canadian Tire National Skating Championships in Kingston, Ont.

On March 14, Connaught Skating Club will present a special fundraiser in support of Karen Magnussen.

Karen Magnussen Tribute: A Benefit Show, show-casing 100 competitive skaters, will begin at 6 p.m. at Minoru Arenas. Tickets will be available at the door on the night of the show, but in limited quantity only. Tickets can be purchased in advance through club members at a cost of $20 each or two for $35.

Keegan Murphy, director of skating at Connaught and producer of the tribute, said Magnussen’s lungs were burnt from inhaling gas after escaping a North Shore rink following an ammonia leak in November 2011. She is now suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and other serious, degenerative health issues and no longer allowed in an ice rink.

“As a competitive skating organization whose mem-bers have received much valued support from her annual bursary, Connaught has decided to honour her skating career and dedication to figure skating by naming her as our beneficiary for this year’s ice show in hopes of raising some funds to help Karen and her family through a difficult period of their lives,” he said.

Eileen Murphy and Aundrea Feltham will co-pro-duce the tribute to Magnussen, who was silver med-allist at the 1972 Winter Olympics and the 1973 world ladies’ champion.

JAKE (JOHN) KENT BROWNE, MD FRCSC

March 8, 1933 — December 31, 2014

Our beloved Jake passed away in Richmond General Hospital on December 31 with his wife Mary

and daughter Carolyn by his side.

Jake was born in 1933 in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, the second of 4 children to Eleanor (Bates) and John Kent Browne. He grew up in nearby Gorticaw. Jake studied medicine at Trinity College Dublin and then obtained his FRCS specializing in orthopedics. He immigrated to Canada in 1965 and worked in Newfoundland, Saskatoon, Vancouver and Richmond BC, gaining his Canadian orthopedic qualifi cations along the way. Eventually he was drawn north, fi rst to Kamloops and in 1975 to the wider skies of the Peace Country, settling in Farmington. For many years he was the sole orthopedic practitioner in the area.

Besides his dedication as a physician, Jake’s life was marked by his love for his family & friends and a genuine fondness & acceptance of people from all walks of life. He was an excellent listener & conversationalist & had a quiet wry sense of humour. He was drawn to people and they to him.

Jake and Mary moved to Richmond in 2012 in order to better cope with Jake’s diminishing health. Jake will be lovingly remembered and missed by his wife Mary Spoke, daughter Carolyn Derfl er (Brian, Kevin, Emily); siblings Adele Browne, Geoff (Florence) Browne, Anne (Patrick) Moody; by Mary’s extended family; nephews and nieces in UK & Canada/US; his fi rst wife Jean Potter (Carolyn’s mother), and by further family and many dear friends. Jake was predeceased by his parents and by Karmen Jones, his 2nd wife.

A heartfelt thank you to Jake’s former caregivers Peng & Sunil and latterly Randy for being a valued part of Jake’s life.

Two Gatherings of Remembrance will be held (1) UBC Boathouse, January 17 at 12 noon and (2) Farmington Hall, January 31 at 11am. Charitable donations in Jake’s memory may be made to either: Dawson Creek Hospital Foundation (Dawsoncreekfoundation.ca) or UBC Spinal Cord Injury International (spinepal.orthopaedic.med.ubc.ca).

Hennessey Hairdo event at Hennessey Salon

In 2006, a Grade 12 cancer survivor came into Hen-

nessey Hair Salon wondering if her hair would grow in time for her senior dance.

The answer was no, but to help her out, Bev Friesen, Hennessey’s Maria Karimani, and friends banded together to raise enough money to buy her a proper wig for the occasion.

Little did Friesen know, that would grow into a program that would help

kids all over the province, Wigs for Kids BC.

Hennessey Hair Salon in Richmond Centre held its fourth annual Hennessey Hairdo event in support of Wigs for Kids, and it was an over-whelming success.

“It’s helped us like you wouldn’t believe, to raise money and aware-ness and ponytails!” said Friesen. “The more people know about Wigs for Kids BC, the better it becomes. It just seems people are so supportive once they know about us.”

Over its eight years, Wigs for Kids BC, with the support of BC Children’s Hospital, has made around 50 wigs a year for children with cancer, alopecia, and blood dis-eases that cause hair loss. All the money raised at Wigs for Kids events goes straight into the pro-gram, as the foundation

is completely volunteer-run.

The event brought people from all over the Lower Mainland, the Fraser Valley, and even Salt Spring Island, who wanted to help raise money for the cause.

Nicole Thorne had been growing her hair out for over a year and drove in to Richmond from Abbotsford to donate.

“I just really wanted to donate my hair. It was something I decided to do, and when I heard about this, it was a per-fect opportunity,” said Thorne. “I wanted some-one to enjoy it, especially kids that are sick.

“I’ll definitely donate again, hopefully in about a year or so.”

Katie Lawrence cov-ers the social scene for The Richmond Review. She may be reached at

Around TownKatie Lawrence

Graham Kita entertained Elizabeth Marshall and her mom Lindsay while they waited their turn for a haircut.

Russell Minuielle and his family came to Richmond from Salt Spring Island to cut his hair for Wigs for Kids.

Reuben Harden didn’t have enough hair to donate for a wig, but bought a haircut for the cause.

Coming in from Abbotsford just for the Hennessey Hairdo, Nicole Thorne had grown out her hair for over a year specifically to donate it.

Mom to Reniaa Thompson, Tanya Favell and her daughter had matching haircuts by the time they left Hennessey Salon.

Reniaa Thompson had her first haircut at the Hennessey Hairdo event. She told her mom she wanted to give her hair to a little girl who didn’t have any.
