Long-time Westminster Highwayfarmers George Fong and Fred VanDykare expecting a wet spring.

The prediction, they feel, is prettyiron-clad, not because they havechecked the venerable Farmer’sAlmanac or Environment Canada forweather projections.

All they have to do is look at whattheir neighbour has done to raise thelevel of their property with what theyclaim is demolition debris and groundup asphalt — materials prohibited frombeing dumped on farmland.

The change in elevation — a good

four to five feet in some places —causes flooding on Fong and VanDyk’sproperties just east of No. 6 Road,something that puts Fong back aboutthree months of growing time in spring.

“That’s worth about $10,000 to me,”said Fong who grows Chinese greens onthe five-acre plot he has farmed since1976.

Moreover, the Agricultural LandCommission (ALC) ordered a workstoppage on the land in April 2012because the material dumped wasdeemed prohibitive. Fong and VanDykbelieve that order is being ignored.

On the other side of the raisedproperty, VanDyk, 87, has long-sinceretired from farming, but has other

farmers raise and cut hay crops on hisland. However, with the added moisture— run-off from his neighbour — that’sgetting harder to do.

“Instead of grass back there I amgrowing bullrushes,” said VanDyk whoused to own the adjacent land but sold itwhen he retired.

Since then, it has changed handsthree times and is now listed as belong-ing to Guvinder Singh Aujla.

Valvir Aujla told the RichmondNews in a telephone interview his son,Guvinder, plans to build a 17,000-square-foot home on the land and thework being done was in preparation forthat project.

Farm neighbours raise concerns about more dumpingFlooding in spring sets back farmers’ growing time by three months, according to worried local landowners

An award-winning Richmond company— and the family members who operate it— is at the centre of a bizarre $8.5 millionlawsuit.

River Road-based Blanchette Press, aswell as Kim and Mary Ellen Blanchette andtheir five sons — Adam, Matt, Joel, Aaronand Mark — are all named in the suit filedin the U.S. by a Texan couple whoclaim to have been close friendsof the Blanchettes.

In the court documents, thecouple, Heidi Hanna and CharlesHill, alleges the Blanchettes dupedthem out of $8.5 million (U.S.)of their life savings after beingconvinced last year to depositthe fortune into a Las Vegas hotel’s escrowaccount.

Although the money, according toHanna and Hill’s lawsuit, was to allow JoelBlanchette to take part in an invitation-only,high roller poker game at the Wynn Hotel,the couple says it was assured the $8.5 mil-lion was safe and returnable at any time.

Over time, the couple grew suspiciousand claims in the lawsuit that efforts to getthe money back were rebuffed.

Hanna and Hill allege they finallytracked Joel Blanchette down to a hotel inLondon, England, where he, according tothe lawsuit, told them the entire Blanchettefamily had knowingly been enjoying spend-ing the cash on private jets, luxury hotelsand a condo in False Creek.

Two weeks ago, a judge in HarrisCounty, Texas, granted a restraining orderagainst the Blanchette family, preventingthem from transferring or selling any assetsor withdrawing or spending more than $500per day.

None of the allegations have been prov-

en in court and the Blanchettes have yet tofile a response.

When asked to comment on the lawsuitby the News, Kim Blanchette, in an emailedstatement, said the “allegations against thecompanies, me and other family membersare completely meritless and are being vig-orously defended.”

The Blanchettes have hired the servicesof Houston-based Vinson & Elkins LLP,

considered one of the top lawfirms in Texas. An evidentiarycourt hearing has been set inTexas for Oct. 25.

It’s not known if theBlanchettes are expected toappear in person.

In 2011, Blanchette Press— an offset printing company thatspecializes in the design commu-

nity and has a subsidiary based in Houston,Texas — was the big Canadian winner withfive awards in the prestigious Sappi NorthAmerican Printers of the Year Competition.

Hanna and Hill are involved in thedesign logo industry and say they starteddoing business with the Blanchettes in themid-2000s.

Over the years, claim the couple in thelawsuit, the relationship grew more per-sonal, so much so that they began sharingChristmas and holidays together and, nothaving children of their own, considered theBlanchette boys as part of their own family.

The couple’s Houston-based lawyer,Eric Lipper, told the News that Hannaand Hill had developed a solid trust of theBlanchettes, especially Joel.

“My clients have an American Expressblack card, which pretty much has no lim-its,” said Lipper. “Joel asked them to gethim one. They did, which he paid off everymonth for a long time.

“That showed the level of trust my cli-ents had in him.”

Plus, he wants to install a commercialgreenhouse sprawling over an acre at the rearof the property.

When asked about the ALC’s stop workorder and recent activity on the site, thesenior Aujla said asphalt grindings weretrucked to the property and unloaded lastweek in order to construct a “clean” area atthe entranceway to park vehicles and equip-ment, and limit the amount of mud beingcarted off the land and onto the roadway.

Aujla said the allegations that anythingother than soil previously being dumped onthe land to raise it up are false, and that hisneighbours’ flooding problems are the resultof poor drainage on their property, not thework done on his son’s farmland.

The situation has left a local farm pro-tection group asking the city to go forwardwith a proposal to hire additional city staffto act as “soil cops” to investigate illegal

farm dumping on behalf of the ALC whichhas just two field officers to police the entireprovince.

“I think if the city had the manpower onthe ground, landowners would definitelythink twice about doing this kind of thing,”said Ray Galawan of Farmwatch BC, whichstarted the ball rolling on the matter after set-ting up a vigil at the entrance to a Finn Roadfarm earlier this year where illegal dumpingwas alleged.

Two weeks ago, city councillors sent itsplan for city-based inspectors back to stafffor further study, citing concerns over thecost — around $230,000 a year.

But if it’s just dollars holding the city backfrom getting city staff boots on the ground todo inspections, maybe the local agriculturalcommunity could help, Galawan said.

Divided among the number of farm own-ers locally, it would be money well spent, hesaid.

The controversial Walmart-anchoredshopping centre plan took another major— albeit expected — step forward Tuesdaynight.

City council sent Smartcentres’ $100-mil-lion, 14-acre outdoor shopping mall proposalin West Cambie onto the public hearing stagewith a vote of 8-1 — Coun. Harold Stevesthe lone dissenting voice.

The two city council voicesthat had yet to be heard recentlyon the application — KenJohnston and Derek Dang — bothvoted in favour of moving theplan forward.

“I feel this is a land-use mat-ter,” Johnston told the News,referring to the condemnationmany objectors have to Walmart being thedeveloper’s anchor tenant. “(City council)doesn’t get involved in Walmart’s corporatepolicies; it’s not our job.

“This has been back and forth for too longand it’s time for us to listen to the folks at apublic hearing; that’s what we do as council-lors and we’ll make a decision after that.”

Johnston added that he doesn’t have anymajor issues, at this point, with the proposalon the table.

Dang, meanwhile, from what he’s heardfrom the public thus far, feels the public havebigger issues with Walmart than they do with

the shopping centre proposal itself.“People seem to have a real problem with

(Walmart) and they will now get the chanceto say what they want at the public hearing Iguess,” said Dang.

“But this area has been earmarked as abig box development for a while. It’s health-ier that it all comes out at a public hearingthough, and it’s really time to put this one tobed, one way or the other.”

At a planning committee meeting twoweeks ago, Smartcentres, in a bid to win

favour with city council,offered $238,000 towards morepark enhancements within theWest Cambie site and for “eco-logical” improvements withinnearby West Cambie Park.

The move was, in part,motivated by the potential loss

of environmentally sensitive area (ESA) des-ignated land within the proposed shoppingcentre site.

Last month, councillors sent the applica-tion back to staff once more, with concernsover the loss of ESA land and the impact oftraffic coming into Richmond from out oftown. However, a revised city staff reportindicated that only 15 per cent of the extratraffic is anticipated to come from outsidethe city.

A number of intersection improvements inthe area are also being paid for by the devel-oper, should the plans be approved after thepublic hearing later this fall.

With a new federal political riding up forgrabs in Steveston-Richmond East, specula-tion on who will step forward to become acandidate is well underway.

Thanks to riding realignment —based on population level increases— Richmond will have two ridingsunto itself for the next federal elec-tion scheduled for 2015.

First out of the gate expressing anintent to run is former Liberal candi-date Wendy Yuan.

Yuan, a Richmond resident since1994, is president and CEO of local-ly-based Bradley Pacific Enterprises,a resource export company focused on deal-ing with Pacific Rim countries.

Yuan ran unsuccessfully in 2008 and 2011in the riding of Vancouver-Kingsway. Shewas beaten both times by NDP candidateDon Davies.

In 2011, Yuan finished third on the ballotbehind Trang Nguyen of the ConservativeParty.

In 2008, the results were much closer asYuan came second, just 2,799 votes behindDavies who its currently the Opposition criticfor International Trade.

Yuan is a community activist and a boardmember at the Vancouver Multicultural

Society, and is listed as a senior advisor withthe Chinese Mental Wellness Association ofCanada.

In an interview with the News, Yuan saidshe started signing up Liberal members thissummer, long before last week’s announce-

ment that Conservative incumbentKerry-Lynne Findlay in the old rid-ing of Delta-Richmond East haddecided to run in the new, single rid-ing of Delta, which, through realign-ment, was merged with the NorthDelta riding.

“I don’t think it matters who Irun against,” said Yuan, 52, addingshe believes her ties as a Richmondresident will stand her in good steadas the Liberal nomination process

progresses.“I’m a Richmond girl, and signing people

up is the best way of getting a grassrootsmovement going,” she said.

One possible Conservative Party candidateis Richmond city councillor, Chak Au.

Au said federal politics had not seriouslycrossed his mind, given he is firmly commit-ted to running for a seat on Richmond CityCouncil in 2014, but he is open to the pros-pect if approached.

Au, who spent 12 years as a local schooltrustee before joining city council, describedhimself as a “small C” conservative.

NewsAu: ‘I will leave things open’

“I will leave things open,” he said. “Ifsomebody can give me a good reason, I willlook at it. But federal politics is not my focusright now.”

While Au is willing to listen, cross first-term school board trustee Eric Yung off thelist of potential candidates.

Yung, who was approached about twomonths ago to run, said he considers his jobas trustee is not yet done and it would be“irresponsible spending three years gettingmy feet wet and then look for greener pas-tures” by seeking a federal seat.

He declined to name which party soughthim out, and admitted the federal scene hadcrossed his mind.

“But I very carefully crossed it off. Myenergies right now are devoted to the issuesat the school board level,” said Yung, addinghe is committed to seeking a second term astrustee in the November 2014 civic election.

Another consideration against runningfederally was his young family — he haschildren in kindergarten and Grade 5 — andtime spent away from them traveling backand forth to Ottawa would be a problem, hesaid.

Earlier this month, reasons for judgment were released in the case Yen Estate v. Chan. The deceased made hisWill in 1973, and died in 2010. He is survived by three daughters.One other daughter predeceased, and her children challenged the Will. They argued that their grandfatherdid not have proper capacity when he signed the Will, that the execution requirements under the Wills Actwere not met, and that there was no proof that he approved of the contents. The two children lost at Trialand appealed.They also lost the Appeal, primarily because of the legal presumption of due execution. That is, where itappears on the document that it was properly executed, the Will is presumed valid. Our Court of Appealadopted this two-century-old presumption for the first time in this case, and appropriately!Likely, the children challenged the Will because they were not named beneficiaries (had their motherlived, they would have inherited). But there was nothing “wrong” with the Will, and whenthe deceased made it he did have capacity.

EDITORIAL OPINION

Sardine seiner boats are reportedly coming home earlyafter their annual fishing season netted nothing in severalmonths of looking. While those who share close quarters

with sardine eaters might not be mourning the disappearance ofthe odorous fish, their absence is worrying.

This comes less than a month after local oceanographersbegan scratching their heads about a mass die-off of sea stars inHowe Sound off West Vancouver.

The oceans and the webs of life they support are unimagin-ably complex and even the most accomplished marine scientistswill tell you we only know a fraction of what there is to knowabout the deep blue. It is entirely possible that these are innocu-ous, naturally occurring phenomena, but our instincts — orguilty consciences — tell us otherwise. What a catastrophe itwould be if the Pacific “dead zone” off the California coast wereto extend north to B.C. waters.

A healthy future for the Earth’s oceans likely depends onthe outcome of a tug-of-war between conservation efforts andindustry. At best, you could say we are giving the oceans mixedmessages. We’re willing to invest hundreds of millions of dollarsto clean up our local wastewater output into Burrard Inlet, but atthe same time we’re minimizing or ignoring the human contribu-tion to climate change.

Science is only just beginning to measure the effect that tem-perature change in the world’s oceans has on weather patterns.But because our knowledge is incomplete, the modelling basedon it is easy to dismiss by, say, a government more focused onthe extraction and sale of carbon fuels.

The various offshoots ofthe sovereign citizen move-ment have been back in thenews lately.

You may be familiar withthis movement under anoth-er name, including naturalpersons or more recentlyFreeman on the Land.

All these names are merebranches from the sametree, and all their adherentsbelieve that they have dis-covered the truth — and thetruth is weird.

They believe that variousgovernment rules can beescaped by odd practices.Thus the freemen tend togive their names as JohnBrian of the Smith familyrather than plain old JohnBrian Smith, or with oddpunctuation, such as John-Brian: Smith.

Their practices includenot paying income tax, notobeying building codes,never using their SIN cards(that lets the governmentown you, man!), not gettingdrivers’ licences, and mak-ing their own licence plates.

When dragged into courtfor any of these practices,they typically try to drownthe judge and prosecutorsunder a flood of legal baf-flegab about natural rights,common law, admiralty law,and the importance of notspelling your name in all-capitals. Essentially, theybelieve their arcane knowl-edge is a get out of jail freecard. So far, it has seldomproved useful, and a num-ber of natural persons havespent time in jails acrossCanada for tax evasion andcontempt of court.

If you go all the wayback, you find one root ofthe movement with the faithknown as British Israelism,the idea that white Anglosare the descendents of thelost tribes of Israel. A viru-lently racist offshoot of thisbecame Christian Identityby the 20th century, whichhad the charming view thatonly white people havesouls.

The Christian Identityfolks cross-pollinatedwith (and were often thesame people as) the PosseComitatus movement, whichwas a cross between a mili-tia movement and a tax-pro-testing self-help group.

Tax protesting is theother root of the movement,going back to the 1940s.Some in the U.S. claimedthat the government had nolegal right to collect incometaxes in particular.

It was the PosseComitatus that came upwith a lot of the legalmythology used by the mod-ern sovereign citizens, butit spread slowly outside ofthe right wing fringe, likelybecause no one wanted tobe associated with a bunchof violent racists with a his-tory of shooting/being shotat by the cops.

Then sometime in the

late 1990s or early 2000s,the tax protesting ideas andconspiracy theories strippedaway the racist taint, alongwith some of the violenttendencies of the groups.Now, the U.S. and Canadiantax resisters who subscribeto the ideas come from avariety of ethnic groups,and New Age spiritualbeliefs seem to be almost ascommon as Christian ones.

The ideology is nowfree to spread, and spreadit does. Anyone who’sever felt kicked around bythe government or heart-less corporations (that’severyone) has to feel somesympathy for these folks.At least for the nonviolentones.

In Canada, DarenMcCormick of Nova Scotiawas convicted of threaten-ing to kill police officers in2012. His case and othershave put the Freeman/sover-eigns on the radar of CSIS,the RCMP and police asso-ciations.

I know that true believ-ers will think I’m just oneof the sheep, or a shill forshadowy government forces.That’s fine. What I’m reallyhoping is that most peoplereading this will take awayjust one lesson:

Nothing you hear aboutbeing a natural person orFreeman will help you withreal tax authorities, realcops or real judges.

Please, if you want to goto court, use a good lawyer,not an imaginary law.

Matthew Claxton writesfor the Langley Advance.

The Editor,While going through the inserts in the local paper, I discov-

ered a 24-page Real Estate Weekly, which I could not read as itwas in Chinese. I guess Richmond does not feel it needs me tobe part of its real estate market.

This letter has nothing to do with intolerance. My parentscame from India more than 45 years ago with six young childrenin tow. Not one of us spoke a word of English. My father, in his40s at the time, learned to speak broken English and my oldersiblings were sent to ESL classes right away.

My family was able to maintain its cultural beliefs and prac-tices without bombarding our neighbourhoods, shops and com-munity with the Punjabi language. My parents were free to prac-tise their Sikh religion while Canada continued to say “MerryChristmas” instead of “Happy Holidays.”

When literature shows up at my door, it should be in Englishor French. If I want a paper in Punjabi, I’ll subscribe to it. If Iwant one in Chinese, I’ll subscribe to it.

This city continues to exclude me, while preaching theimportance of being “inclusive.” Doesn’t everyone’s inclusivitycount.

For the politicians, it is all about the votes; for businesses, itis all about the money. For those of us who are bothered by a 24-page insert sitting on our kitchen tables that we can’t read, it isabout our community and Canada. Don’t we ALL count.

For all immigrants, myself included, remember “Canada didnot come to us; we came to Canada.”

PAINFUL TRUTH

MatthewClaxton

Letters

The Editor,There are some agencies like the

Richmond Fire-Rescue and police who usu-ally don’t get the credit they deserve. Thesemen and women put their lives at risk inorder to keep our communities safe.

Take for example, the Richmond RCMP.This federal law enforcement agency consist-ing of more than 226 well-trained, competentprofessionals is a credit to Richmond.

It is one of the most culturally diverse

forces in the province. Eighty-five of itsofficers speak another language in additionto English. As a matter of fact, our localMounties are well versed in 29 different lan-guages and dialects.

Recently, management of India CulturalCentre of Canada, home of Gurdwara NanakNiwas invited the local police to a deliciousvegetarian lunch.

The main purpose of this meet-and-greetwas to thank our officers for the excellent job

they have been doing in keeping our com-munity safe. The Gurdwara management wasjoined by some of its neighbours along the“Highway to Heaven.”

On behalf of the Gurdwara management,India Cultural Centre of Canada chairmanAsa Joal, president Chain Batth and generalsecretary Balbir Jawanda welcomed andthanked Superintendent Rennie Nesset andhis officers.

The RCMP officers were issued an open

invitation to visit the Sikh temple any timeand interact with the congregation.

As one of the organizers of the event, Ifound it a privilege to work with Sgt. CamKowalski to co-ordinate this get-together.

These types of initiatives go a long way inenhancing communication and collaborationbetween the community and those who arecharged to keep it safe.

I arrived back inRichmond at 12:30 a.m.(3:30 a.m. Toronto time) onSept. 27.

Already, standing withthe bleary-eyed crowdaround the luggage carousel,the waves of nostalgia werehitting hard.

I knew that once I pickedup my bags and returned home with myparents to my room and my textbooks, itwould feel like I had never left.

And I didn’t want to forget.I didn’t want to forget Carlton Street, the

Rehearsal Factory or Metalworks Studios.I didn’t want to forget the sight of Jason

“Cone” McCaslin tapping out the ghostof a rhythm, listening attentively to a songnobody else could hear; or how DarcyAtaman would answer his 101 emails whilejuggling 101 other things; or Kevin Dietzsitting behind the recording console in theNerve Control Room, turning dials, push-ing buttons and typing short cuts like he

was the captain of somespace vessel.

I didn’t want to forgethow it felt to sit at a grandpiano in the dark, blind savefor the light of the candles,singing Tired Heart like mylife depended on it.

We managed torecord four songs

while I was there, three of theoriginals I had written before Igot to Toronto, and the last was ajoint effort between Simon Wardfrom the Strumbellas, Cone and I.

Two other members from theStrumbellas made contributionsto the recordings: Jeremy Drury came outto play the drums, and Isabel Ritchie addedsome violin and viola layers.

Kristian Montano, a talented 25-year-oldmusician from Toronto played guitar.

On a side note, Kristian’s band, Sun K,will be recording an album with Cone inthe next few months, and it will be worth

looking out for.We rehearsed for the first three days of

the trip, and then spent the rest of the weekin the recording studio — testing drums,testing mic set ups, playing guitar and uku-lele, violin and voice.

And then doing it over and over again.Record. Playback. Cut. Split.Punch in.

“Okay, take it from thetop.”

The days were long, butrewarding.

Each day we had some-thing to show for our efforts— a small step closer, a fewmore ticks on the “to-do” list.

When I left that Thursdayevening, we had the roughs, they still need-ed to be mixed and mastered.

There is a strategic game plan formingon how best to release these four songs.

Contrary to what I initially thought,these songs will not merely be special fea-tures on my YouTube channel.

No dates or specifics have been releasedyet, but Darcy and Cone have assured methat something will happen, they have abigger picture in mind.

It’s going to take a lot of hard work, andcommitment, but it’s nothing that hasn’tbeen done before.

Because, as frightening as it sounds, Ifeel like I’ve discovered where I belong.

A place where the hours alone in myroom, the callused fingers, the lack ofsleep, and the eternities of writer’s blocktake on a unique value and meaning.

Obviously, I need to remain cautious,grounded and guarded — prepared with a“plan B.”

But there is small hopeful chance thatthis trip may not be the absolute end of thejourney.

This trip may have opened a door toopportunities, and I am determined to stepthrough.

Show challenges artistic eyePAINTING

Arts&Culture

By 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, art-ist Loraine Wellman anticipates alineup snaking around the smallPioneer Church, flooding the doorsas soon as they open — viewersambling to get a look at all of the10x10 canvases before choosingwhich one to take home.

The Richmond Artist Guild hasorganized the first GuessWho?event, an art show where all thepieces cost $100, but the artistremains anonymous until the work ispurchased.

“It’s moreof a challengefor people tosee what theyhave an eye for,and they’ll havea bit of funguessing,” said

Wellman, one of the organizers ofthe show.

“The important thing is that itdoesn’t really matter who did thework.”

Community members will have15 minutes to look through the100-plus paintings and photographsbefore they’re allowed to buy.

Artists have signed their works onthe back, but art-buyers will be pur-chasing blind until the transaction iscompleted.

“I’m really impressed with thevariety and the level of paintingswe’ve been getting already,” saidWellman.

About 31 students’ works fromSteveston-London secondary willhang beside those of well-knownprofessionals from across the LowerMainland such as Joyce Kamikura,John Ferrie, Chris Charlebois andDennis Magnusson.

“It really evens the playing field,”said Precilia Kong, a Grade 12student. “If you’re less known, buthave a lot of talent, it allows youto express this artistic ability to thecommunity.”

The art scene in Richmond hasrecently seen an influx of motivatedyouth, eager to showcase their piecesoutside of school.

This year’s Steveston Grand Prixof Art saw the highest number ofyouth register.

“They’re really skilled and con-fident,” said Steveston-London artteacher Sid Akselrod. “Kids arebrave, way braver than most adults.

“They don’t think too much beforethrowing themselves into something.It’s good for them to feel somethingspecial and different. We need themto continue it on and invest in thatcreative community spirit.”

Akselrod, who heads his school’sart club, bought about two-dozencanvases for students to participatein the show. Within days, he had runout.

“It feels wonderful to be able todisplay beside professional artists,”said Daniel Fang, also in Grade 12.“I feel like I can get some recogni-tion for my work, while also helpingthe community.”

Artists receive $50 when theirpiece sells, with the other $50 goingto the Richmond Food Bank.

Wellman also hopes the eventencourages people to buy art andrealize it doesn’t always have to bean expensive purchase.

“Once people have an origi-nal piece of art in their house, theIKEA posters aren’t going to cut itanymore,” she said. “They’ll startinvesting in more and supporting thecommunity.”

Artists have until Oct. 23 tosubmit up to three pieces of art.On Nov. 2, the event will run from10 a.m. to 4 p.m., but buyers areencouraged to show up early as piec-es are expected to go fast.

Here’s to an under-recognized talentMUSIC

One of Britain’s mostunderrated guitarists ViniReilly is probably a nameyou have never heard, buthave probably heard hismusic on various recordsand TV commercials.

Lots of customers comeinto the store looking fornew guitar players theymay not have heard ofbefore and I always rec-

ommend Vini, along sidethe Knopflers, Claptonsand Stevie Ray Vaughans.

Red Hot Chili Pepperguitarist John Fruscianterates Vini as the best in theworld and he would be inmy top five favourites.

When youlisten to Viniplay, it is likea classical andreligious expe-rience rolledinto one, whichleaves you try-ing to figureout what you have justheard and, even better, youwant to hear it again.

Very relaxing it takes

you out of yourself withit’s very clean sound.

One of the things Ilove about his recordingsare the vocal sampling ofgreat singers like TracyChapman, Annie Lennox,soul singer Otis Reddingand opera singer Joan

Sutherland.Bizzare, but it

works!And then you

have Vini a virtuo-so player on elec-tric and acousticguitars. Vini alsosings in his own

unique style.If you’re looking for

something different and

out of the box, this is theboy for you!

The Durutti Column,named after the SpanishCivil War anarchist move-ment, has basically alwaysbeen Vini and guest drum-mers and musicians.

This guy has animpeccable technique,which reminds me of theShadows guitarist HankMarvin in some way.

Born in Manchester in1953, Vini was a delicateboy who suffered with hishealth. He doesn’t playlive much because of it,but has been recordingsince 1977 — the punkyears, which introduced somany great musicians.

He signed to TonyWilson’s Factory Recordsin 1978, which allowedhim the freedom to devel-op his own style.

His first band wasthe classic punk bandnamed Ed Banger & TheNosebleeds.

He recorded the debutsandpaper sleeved albumcalled The Return of theDurutti Column in 1979with long time collabora-tor Bruce Mitchell ondrums who is now in his70s.

This is probably myfavourite album.

With it’s sandpapersleeve it would rub upagainst the other LPs inyour collection and dam-age their sleeves, anotherway for Vini to separatehimself from the rest ofus.

The group has released,to this point, a staggering29 albums and each hasreached cult status to agrowing number of loyalfans worldwide.

In 1988, Vini joinedMorrissey on his soloalbum Viva Hate playingsome excellent guitar, butdeclined to be involvedwith Morrissey’s follow-upalbum, preferring to fol-low his own experimentalpath.

In America, Vini’s workwas used on TV commer-cials for Pacific Bell TVin California.

In September 2010,Vini suffered a minorstroke. Please join mein wishing him a speedyrecovery and all the verybest for the future.

A mighty talent. Checkhim out!

Their monthly vet billsalone can often hit the$20,000 mark.

It’s an astonishing figurethat piles even more pressureon the Richmond AnimalProtection Society (RAPS) toraise as much money as pos-sible at its annual gala.

Last year, RAPS’ inau-gural black-tie gala rustledup an impressive $40,000for the no-kill shelter, whichsaves, cares for and adoptsout thousands of stricken,abandoned and unwantedanimals every year in thecity.

This year, the “Paws andPumpkins Halloween Gala”is set for Saturday, Oct. 26 atthe Delta Vancouver AirportHotel.

And with around 100 ofthe 300 tickets still to besold, time is running out forRAPS to cash in on whatis its single biggest money-maker for the year.

“I guess this is the hardpart of being a no-kill shel-ter,” said RAPS’ executivedirector Carol Reichert,referring to vet bills it shellsout to keep the animals alive.

“But we love them all andwe wouldn’t have it any otherway.”

The need for donationsand fundraising at RAPS wasall the more evident earlierthis year when 38 dogs weredumped in cages and cratesat the No. 5 Road shelter’sfront door.

Thankfully, only five ofthem have yet to be adoptedout. But it cost RAPS thou-sands of dollars to vaccinate,feed and board the dogsbefore they could find newhomes.

It’s such expendituresthat RAPS hopes will besoftened by next week’s gala,which volunteer Cathy Gvorapromises is going to be a funnight.

“Dressing up is optional,but there will be prizes forthe best costume,” she said.

“There’s going to be awonderful buffet, a DJ, a liveband, an Elvis impersonatorand some amazing silentauction prizes.

“It’s an extremely impor-tant night for us and we’dlove to sell as many ticketsas possible to help the shelterthroughout the year.”

Some of theauction prizesinclude: An all-expenses paid tripto Victoria, cour-tesy of HarbourAir; an $800-valueInvicta men’swatch; prints byartist Brittani Faulkes and aMini Cooper for the week-end, courtesy of Yaletown

Mini Cooper.Tickets

for the gala— $100 eachor $900 fora table of 10— are avail-able online at

www.rapsociety.com or inperson at the shelter at 12071No. 5 Road or by calling 604275 2036.

SportsMAJOR MIDGET HOCKEY

Canadians looking to snap six game losing streakThe Greater Vancouver

Canadians will be look-ing to snap a six gamelosing streak when theytake on the Fraser ValleyThunderbirds in a pair ofgames this weekend.

After opening the B.C.Major Midget HockeyLeague season with a sweepof the South Island Royals,the Canadians have droppedthree consecutive series,includinglast weekendagainst theValley WestHawks.

LastSaturday atthe LangleyEvents Centre,the Hawksscored twicein the open-ing period andwent on topost a 2-1 vic-tory. GreaterVancouver’sonly goalcame fromDante Hannoun with just 35seconds remaining.

The next day at theRichmond Olympic Ovalsaw the Hawks explodefor five unanswered goalsin the third period in a 7-3 victory. The Canadianstook a 3-2 lead into thethird period thanks to a pairof goals from Cameron

Ginnetti and another fromAlex Whitwham but had noanswer for the Bruins finalperiod onslaught.

Matt Barberis tied thegame with 9:36 remainingand Eric Callegari notchedwhat proved to be the win-ner two minutes later.

It marked the sec-ond time this season theCanadians have failed tohang on to a late third

period lead asthe CaribooCougars ral-lied for a vic-tory back inweek two.

Earlier, theCanadiansdropped apair of gamesto defendingchampionVancouverNorthwestGiants,including aheartbreaking1-0 loss at theOval.

The game’s only goalcame just 39 seconds intothe contest.

This weekend’s serieswith the Thunderbirds con-cludes on Sunday at theOval at 10 a.m.

Icing...There was at least some

good news for a pair ofCanadians this week as

forward Dante Hannounand defenceman CameronGinnetti have been namedto the Team B.C. rosterfor the upcoming WesternCanada U16 ChallengeCup, slated for Oct. 31 toNov. 4 in Calgary.

“In choosing Team BC,our coaching staff has spentplenty of hours debating.

There are some very goodplayers left off the roster,but we believe the rosterwe are naming will makeBritish Columbians proud,”said Team BC Director ofOperations, Fred Zweep.

“We have a particularlyunique group of extremelytalented players and we’reconfident in the team we’ve

put together.”For the first time in

the history of the WesternCanada U16 ChallengeCup, Team BC capturedgold in 2012 with a winover Team Alberta in thechampionship game. Thesquad was coached byRichmond’s Ryan Weberand featured former Seafair

standout Glenn Gawdinwho is now in his rookieseason in the WesternHockey League with SwiftCurrent.

Team BC finished thetournament with a perfect4-0 record and two (2) play-ers were named to the U16Challenge Cup All StarTeam.

Four Questions with Elizabeth HurleyAnya Georgijevic

I couldn’t have dreamt it. I think my initial contract was two years. I was thrilledbeyond belief when it was picked up again, after two years. It’s really been like havinga second family.

You’ve personally been affected by breast cancer; you lost your grandmother tothe disease.Was that one of the reasons why you’ve been so passionately involvedsince the beginning?

When Evelyn [Lauder] told me about her campaign, during my first two or three weeksat the company, I suppose my ears did perk up a bit more because of my grandmother.It was so sad the way she hadn’t told anybody about her lump, for the very reasonsEvelyn went on to explain why she was doing the campaign. Because she said,“women are dying all over the world and nobody is talking about it.” She was soinspired by the AIDS activists, who, at that time, were very active.

You also live and promote a healthy lifestyle, as part of the breast cancerprevention. Can you tell us a little bit more about that?

I love living in the countryside, and I’ve always loved feeling healthy. Evelyn Lauderalways said to me, “Don’t put on weight. It is not good for you in any way. Notbecause you won’t look as good, but it could be dangerous for your health.” It’s greatfor us that doctors and research scientists are now speaking out and saying that theyreally do believe that we can make a difference by following a healthy lifestyle. Theyknow that we really have to go out of our way to deliberate exercise. I know I don’tstep up so much on that one. I’m very active, but I don’t really do exercise regime,and I should. Eating-wise, I’ve eaten pretty well in the last 30 years, so I feel okay inthat aspect.

What are the goals of this year’s “Let’s Defeat Breast Cancer. We’re StrongerTogether” campaign?

We know we’ve succeeded in some way with the awareness, and we’ve helped raisea huge amount of money. The Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign itself has raised$48 million US dollars, most of which they’ve donated to the Breast Cancer ResearchFoundation, also started by Evelyn Lauder, which has raised nearly half a billion dol-lars for research. What we’re trying to do this year is encourage people to get togetherand make a difference themselves. Small scale, big scale: it doesn’t matter. It mightbe getting a couple of your friends together, and all of you making a pledge to dosomething about it. It’s all about our “Circle of Strength” and all of that can be seenon BCAcampaign.com, and as well as Facebook, which you’re all on, so no excuses!

CANADA’S PREMIERE ONLINE GUIDE TO THE GOOD LIFE

October marks the national Breast CancerAwareness Month, and no brand has beenmore crucial to the fight against the diseaseas Estée Lauder, in its relentlesscampaigning and fundraising over the lasttwo decades. The exquisitely beautifulElizabeth Hurley has played a vital part inthe Breast Cancer Awareness Campaignsince signing as the company spokespersonback in 1995. Intelligent and articulate,Elizabeth Hurley gave us an update on thecompany’s crusade against the agonizingdisease, and even found time to give us acouple of valuable beauty tips.

You’ve been an Estée Lauder spokes-person for almost two decades -- a rarething in this industry. When you signedin 1995, did you think it would become arole of a lifetime?
