One person’s trash is another one’s power‘Energy garden’ opens, organic recycling facility can power 900 homes a year

To an outsider, Paul Sellew could pass fora big time magician worthy of a massive mar-quee on the Las Vegas Strip.

Why?Because, despite his casual, conservative

appearance and manner, with a simple lineup of waste trucks full of organic material,he is transforming pizza crusts, apple coresand yard waste into not only rich compost— that’s an old trick — but power, as well.

It’s an act Sellew, CEO and founder ofHarvest Power, and his staff have been per-forming since Harvest Power opened itsEnergy Garden in east Richmond and startedaccepting “green” waste at what is billedas the largest commercial-scale high solidsanaerobic digester in North America.

That’s where city officials and politicianswere on hand early Thursday morning for thesprawling facility’s official opening and tour.

“This facility represents the innovation,passion and commitment required to usherin the future of organics management,” saidSellew.

“We are excited to continue our partner-ship with Metro Vancouver and the City ofRichmond community to cost-effectivelyconvert organic materials once destined forthe landfill into clean energy and compostproducts.”

The “magical” component of turning thewaste into power comes through anaerobicdigestion, something Sellew said is similar towhat takes place in a cow’s stomach.

Biogas is produced by bacteria breakingdown the incoming waste into a mixture ofmethane and carbon dioxide which is burnedin a generator to produce electricity.

According to Harvest Power, the plantproduces enough energy for 900 homes a year— power it sells to BC Hydro.

Plus, hundreds of thousands of cubicmetres of soil products — from potting soil totop soil — are also produced as byproduct.

The plant is right for the time, as more andmore communities look for “green” solutionsto organic materials that would otherwiseend up in a landfill, said Richmond MayorMalcolm Brodie.

“If we didn’t do any composting, about 35

to 40 per cent of our garbage would otherwisego into a landfill as organics,” said Brodiewho is also chair of the Metro Vancouver’sZero Waste Committee. “And that’s a tremen-dous source of energy.”

Brodie added Richmond residents havebeen very responsive to date with separatingtheir organic waste from the rest of their trashas the city has graduated from having homesuse a “green” kitchen container, to a full-sizedwaste bin.

This spring, the city delivered more than41,000 green carts to residents in single-fam-ily homes. And more than 11,000 townhomesare on track to use them, as well.

Collection from the green carts started in

June and so far residents are approaching the70 per cent mark in diverting organic wastefrom their regular garbage.

Brodie said, that type of public buy-inwould have been hard to imagine as little asfive years ago.

But with a Metro Vancouver-wide totalban on sending organic materials to the land-fill looming in 2015, having a facility likeHarvest Power in the waste recycling loop is avital step in achieving that goal.

According Metro Vancouver, about 40 percent of all food waste comes from businessesand institutions, which are also sending theirorganic material to Harvest Power’s facility. Ithas the capacity to process and convert 40,000tonnes per year.

The Richmond News September 13, 2013 A3

There are many reasons, to be sure, but more and more Wills are being challenged across the country. Here in B.C.,we have Wills Variation legislation, as do some other provinces. Others do not, but it does not prevent challengeson other grounds, such as lack of capacity and undue influence.

Two lawyers from the Toronto firm Hull & Hull LLP recently wrote on the Huffington Post that the frequencyof Estate challenges is rising. They cite reasons such as the poor economy, beneficiaries' increased reliance oninheritances, and the increasing complexity of modern blended families. In addition, more individuals arepreparing their own Wills, leading to a higher probability that those Wills are invalid. They also cite the agingpopulation, leading to more Wills being made and more people dying and passing on their Estates to variousbeneficiaries.

Noting mental deterioration as another cause, the lawyers suggest that testamentary capacity concerns maysurface more often in the future as a ground for challenging Wills, as medical studies and diagnoses become moresophisticated.

To all these factors you might add that, since property values have soared over the past 20 years, and Estates havegrown in value, it is now more economically feasible to challenge an Estate. The “bottom line”is that, for many reasons, we will see more Wills being litigated in the coming years, which issignificant.

By next spring, British Columbians mightjust be toasting new liquor laws that are morein step with today’s society.

That’s the message from Richmond-Steveston Liberal MLA John Yap who issteering the province’s review of alcoholregulations.

Yap, who was named ParliamentarySecretary for LiquorPolicy Reform shortlyafter the B.C. LiberalParty’s spring electionwin, told the News itis still early days inthe review process that

is seeking input from industry stakeholders— from pub owners to health care officials— as well as the general public.

But he is rapidly learning there are manyopinions on what changes should be made tolaws which have not undergone a comprehen-sive review for more than a decade.

“It’s not that there haven’t been changeshere and there, but there is a feeling from lotsof people that we should take a comprehen-sive look,” Yap said.

“So, we are meeting with as many peopleas we can and looking for their ideas andopinions.”

Yap said one of the recurring themes hehas encountered so far is an expression of

agreement that the government review thelaws.

“People are happy that we are doing this,

that government is taking a comprehensivelook,” Yap said. “We know that societal val-ues have evolved over time, and this (review)

is very much part of that — tapping intofinding out from British Columbians, whereare people at in terms of this very importantissue.”

The government has also looked at neigh-bouring provinces to see what changes havebeen made. “For example, we now havealmost 20 years of experience viewing whathas happened in Alberta where they madea change to go completely private in their(liquor) retail stores,” Yap said.

That also raises significant economicissues, as alcohol consumption is worth $1billion annually to the province’s coffers.

“Alcohol products are used by 85 to 95per cent of British Columbians of legal drink-ing age. So, this is an issue that touches manypeople,” said Yap.

“The hospitality and tourism industries arevery important to Richmond and the rest ofB.C. And we know that if we can find a wayto encourage continued growth and develop-ment in those important sectors, in a respon-sible way, that’s what we’d like to do.”

It’s all part of a delicate balancing act,tempered with a general desire for changethat Yap is attempting to strike.

“As government we are seeing what wecan do in a common sense and balanced wayto, perhaps, change some regulations

A landscaper’s novel approach to clear-cutting an unsightly property has hit himhard in the pocket.

Some of the sheep Sandy Chappell puton the property to chow down theweeds was stolen Tuesday night.

Six of Chappell’s 31-strongBarbados-breed herd disappeared inthe night from the vacant lot next toMcDonald’s restaurant in the 8100block of Alderbridge Way, costinghim around $1,500 in lost livestock.

Chappell only realized the sheep weremissing when animal welfare officersarrived to inspect the site on Tuesday andtheir count differed from his.

“(The thieves) have snipped the fence,”said Chappell. “I have an idea of who itmight have been and I’ve told the police.”

Richmond RCMP are probing the brazentheft from the fenced area and are askinganyone with information to contact them at604-278-1212 or report it to Crimestoppersat 1-800-222-477.

The News reported this week howChappell, after being tasked by the developer

landowner to tidy up the overgrownsite, came up with the idea to usesheep to chew down the property.

Chappell, who keeps a 60-strongherd on a few acres on Odlin Road,thought it would be an environmen-tally-friendly solution benefittingeveryone.

But his green-minded plan contravened awhole host of the city’s animal control bylawsubsections, and he was told Tuesday toremove the sheep.

He has until next Wednesday to removethem or face bylaw infraction fines.

that maybe a holdover from times past, while keep-ing in mind we have public safety and health issuesto deal with.”

As part of that, Yap met with officials from theVancouver Island Health Authority on Monday.

On Thursday, the University of Victoria’s Centrefor Addictions Research made a submission to theprovince’s Liquor Policy Review stating existingB.C. liquor regulations ignore the health and socialcosts of alcohol, and need to strike a balance withconvenient access and revenue considerations.

“We can and should be doing a much better jobof monitoring our alcohol policies against healthindicators, such as alcohol-related deaths and chron-ic diseases,” said Dr. Tim Stockwell, CARBC direc-tor in a press release.

“The current laws address some public safetyconcerns, but overall B.C. liquor policy is focusedalmost entirely on revenue raising, with the liquor-related health costs simply left out of the picture.We’re advocating for a better balance.”

Yap has until the end of November to compile hisfindings from the consultation period into a reportfor B.C.’s Justice Minister and Attorney General,Suzanne Anton.

“She will take it to government and go fromthere,” Yap said.

Feedback from the continuing review processwill be posted on the B.C. government’s web site sothe public can track what is being discussed.

The public can get into the discussion by visit-ing www.gov.bc.ca and clicking on the B.C. LiquorReview button which is expected to be up and run-ning by the weekend.

News

The new federal electoral ridings arenow as good as set in stone and Richmondis set to benefit from having two MPs dedi-cated solely to the city.

After more than 18 months of researchand political debate, the Federal ElectoralBoundaries Commission has issued itsfinal report on proposed changes to ridingsacross B.C.

And one of the upshots is thatRichmond will now be served byRichmond Centre (primarily the current“Richmond” riding) and an entirely newriding — Steveston-Richmond East, sever-ing its ties with Delta.

To beef up the potential voters for thenew riding, six city centre blocks — south-east of Westminster Highway and No. 3Road — will transfer from “Richmond” to“Steveston-Richmond East.”

The change, which will come into effectfor the 2015 election, will undoubtedlypose a significant dilemma for currentDelta-Richmond East Conservative MPKerry-Lynne Findlay.

Findlay, should she run in the next elec-tion, will have to choose between the new

Richmond riding and the new district dedi-cated solely to Delta.

During the lengthy consultation processin Ottawa, Findlay lodged several objec-tions to the changes, including the divisionof the city centre between the two ridings.

According to her submission to the par-liamentary committee, Findlay explainedthat the current “Richmond” riding formeda “community of interest, as an evolvinghigh density area with its own unique busi-ness, residential, and recreational interests.”As such, it should not be split in half.

However, Findlay did encourage thecommission to include Steveston inwhat looks likely to be called Steveston-Richmond East.

Alice Wong, Tory MP for the currentRichmond riding, welcomed the changeswhich, she says, recognizes the city’s grow-ing population.

“(The changes) are probably final, thecommission has received the last inputfrom the parliamentary committee,” saidWong.

“I’m losing six city blocks, but it’s anatural move because the city has growndrastically, especially on my side of the rid-ing.”

Rozenhart: MP can give ‘total focus’

IMAGE SUBMITTED

This map offederal electoralboundaries showsthe new Steveston-Richmond Eastriding and how it‘steals’ six city cen-tre blocks from thecurrent ‘Richmond’riding.

Votes lost or gained by the changes aren’ta factor for the incumbent MPs or for thecommission, according to Wong.

“We will now have two MPs dedicated toRichmond at the 2015 election and that hasto be good for the city and its people,” addedWong.

Community advocates in Steveston, mean-while, are delighted their once sleepy fishingvillage is now being recognized on the fed-eral election map.

Loren Slye, president of the StevestonHistorical Society, described his home as an“up and coming community on the cusp ofbecoming a destination point.”

“This change makes it very much a viablecommunity,” said Slye.

“This will now give Steveston some dis-tinction and that could bring many benefits inthe long run.”

Bruce Rozenhart, past president ofSteveston Historical Society and VolunteerRichmond, said the new Steveston-RichmondEast MP will be able to focus solely onRichmond issues.

“It will be good to have total focus on ourcommunity,” added Rozenhart.

“Kerry-Lynne has done marvelous workon the dredging (in the harbour) and theSeine net loft and she’s made a very positivemark on Steveston.”

EDITORIAL OPINION

Perhaps West Vancouver-Sea to Sky MLA JordanSturdy knew the B.C. Liberals planned not to con-vene the provincial legislature this fall when he

decided not to hand in the mayoralty chain in Pembertonuntil next year.

Not sitting in Victoria will certainly allow Sturdy moretime to focus on both his riding and town — a lot of time.

By the end of 2013, the governing body of BritishColumbia will have sat for scarcely more than one month.We’re pretty sure this type of commitment and work ethicwon’t help the bargaining between government and teach-ers or government and CUPE or government and anyoneelse who works but doesn’t earn more than $100,000 ayear.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong acknowledged Tuesdaythat criticism of the move was legitimate comment.

Quoted by the Times Colonist, de Jong then stated thatthe May election was “the ultimate act of accountability”as if B.C. voters have given the Liberals a mandate to lockup the legislature.

We’re pretty sure that had Christy Clark announced sucha move in early May, it would have become an electionissue, perhaps a defining one. Nothing makes voters mad-der than paying politicians perceived to be dead weights.Ask a few senators.

In fact, this cavalier move should give the NDP somepopulist ammunition should they care to capitalize: Areduction in MLA salary for every day the legislature doesnot sit compared to a 10-year average.

You would have to go back to 1991 to find a year whenthe B.C. legislature sat fewer days than 2013.

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 believethat various governmentrules can be escaped by oddpractices.

Thus the freemen tendto give 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 gettingdriver’s 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-polinatedwith (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 shotby 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 believerswill think I’m just one ofthe “sheeple,” or a shill forshadowy government forces.That’s fine. What I’m reallyhoping is that most peoplereading this will take awayjust one lesson: Nothingyou hear about being anatural person or Freemanwill help you with real taxauthorities, real cops, or realjudges.

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

The Editor,Re: “Mounties’ Musical Ride gallops into town,” News,

Aug. 30.I’m sure some folk find it entertaining and deeply patriotic

watching horses prancing around doing Cavalry drills at theRCMP musical ride, but one really has to question the incred-ible amount of money wasted on this.

As a hard working, tax paying Canadian, I would rathersee the money spent on practical things like crime prevention,policing, victim services or much needed police training. Manypeople may not know it, but the outrageous sum of $11 millionevery year is frittered away on all the pomp and ceremony atthese events with no tangible return for our investment. All thiswhile budgets are cut for essential services.

The public is also spending hundreds of thousands of dol-lars defending lawsuits by riders claiming unsafe practices andthere has been a lot of recent criticism about horses being rid-den despite being injured, at the PNE in particular.

If the taxpayer has to continue to fund this, perhaps wecould use a couple of those horses and police at the corner ofNo. 3 Road to catch dangerous drivers on cell phones?

At least that would be useful.Alan Bennett

PAINFUL TRUTH

MatthewClaxton

Letters

The Editor,I am writing about changes that need to be

made at what I consider one of the most dan-gerous intersections in Richmond: WilliamsRoad and Shell Road (west side.)

There have been numerous traffic acci-dents and near hits of pedestrians that havehappened here. With parents walking theirchildren to Thomas Kidd elementary, or olderchildren walking to school alone, somethingneeds to be done.

There will be a pedestrian fatality at thislocation, it’s a matter of time. There are twopedestrian controlled lights, one recentlyinstalled by the railway tracks and the othersome feet away on the west side of them.

My teenage boys have been narrowlymissed a few different times because mostdrivers do not obey or even notice the lightsthat are clearly flashing.

A couple of months ago, a car was flippedon its side, which brought two ambulances,two fire trucks and a few police cars. Then, aweek later, I was driving to pick my boys uparound 8:30 p.m.

I was stopped on Shell Road heading

north, waiting to cross Williams. Two pedes-trians pushed the controlled light wanting tocross north on Williams.

Lights clearly flashing, they were halfway in the middle of the intersection whena woman in a mini-van heading west onWilliams slammed on her brakes because shedid not see the lights. She was then almostrear-ended by another car.

The newly-installed pedestrian lights thatwere put in for the paved Shell Road trail isalso a hazard.

About a month ago an elderly couple hadpushed these buttons waiting to cross southby the tracks.

After checking for cars and with the lightsflashing, the couple started to cross. A carheading west on Williams stopped for theelderly couple, however another car head-ing east on Williams did not and, again, wealmost had a serious accident.

I have more examples, but the point is, weneed a regular traffic light at this intersection.This is a death trap waiting to happen.

Lorraine JohnstoneRichmond

Set good driving exampleTRANSPORTATION

The Editor,On a bright and sunny Saturday morn-

ing, I decided to head across the street fora quick jog on the greenway on Railway.

In order to achieve that, I would have tocross the Francis and Railway intersection— no big deal right? As the walking mansymbol flashed green, I made sure to lookboth ways before crossing.

As I stepped down on the sidewalk, ashiny silver Mercedes Benz ran a red lightand zoomed across the pedestrian walk-way, merely missing me by inches.

In shock, I halted and glared at thedriver, whose car was already a speck inthe distance — one would wonder how fastthe car was going. The driver didn’t evenattempt to stop, nor was an apology given.

It is times like these when I doubt thesafety of our roads.

I turned 16 a few months ago, officiallyof age to write the drivers’ knowledge test.While all my other friends — especiallythe ones who have the Y chromosome— rushed to obtain their learning license, Iwas hesitant.

Though it is true that I am clumsy, aprocrastinator and have a terrible sense ofdirection, I must admit that another reason

why I still have yet to obtain my “L” is myfear of sharing the roads with bad drivers.

Some of these bad drivers may use theexcuse that there are more reckless driv-ers in other places around the world, but Ibelieve comparing ourselves to those moredangerous does not make the bad drivingin Richmond acceptable.

I’ve never been a driver, but I havebeen a passenger many times in my life. Ifyou’re one of those reckless drivers on theroad today in Richmond who turn withoutsignalling, ignore pedestrians and cyclists,run red lights and stop signs, and honkimpatiently at the car in front of you going50 km/h, among others transgressions, Iurge you to change for the better.

Not only are you putting your safetyat risk, but also your passengers and thepeople you are sharing the road with.

In addition, you are being a poor rolemodel for teenagers like me who wish tolearn the safe and responsible way to drive.

To the responsible drivers out there whotake these thoughts in consideration, I sin-cerely thank you.

Janice Wong, 16Richmond

The Editor,At present, bus riders have two ways

to pay on a TransLink bus — cash, orFaresaver (a paper card with magneticstripe).

The bus driver issues a similar cardwhen a cash fare is paid, and both cardsrecord the starting time and zone, viaprinting and a mag recording. Whenboarding a subsequent bus, the card isread magnetically for each boarding.

When using the card to travel onSkyTrain or Canada Line, and addingmore zones, the card is read by the sta-tion ticket machine and a new one replac-

es it (this is often used by seniors whoseFaresavers are single zone only).

Since there will be a one-trip versionof Compass for passengers that pay bycash at a station, and assuming that faremachines will be upgraded, not replaced,why on earth can’t the station faremachines accept a bus card and issue aone-trip compass card, or perform an addfare operation if that’s needed?

Why would this change cost an extra$8 million?

It does not make much sense.Roger Nathan,

The Editor,Too often, we read about and wit-

ness death, accidents and crimes on thenews, and we forget that the world isstill a beautiful place — if we wouldonly give it a chance.

Indeed, it seems that the goodthings, the human kindness, are oftenoverlooked by many.

Heart-warming acts are buried bythe more attention-grabbing tragedies.

I am a firm believer in doing goodby those who have done good by me;thus, I am here to share my story.

My name is Johnny Tai, 31. I’mtotally blind in both eyes and complete-ly deaf in one ear. Currently, I live onmy own in Richmond — and have beenfor nearly 13 years.

Being a person with multiple dis-abilities and living independently, Ihave been exposed to many challenges,one of which has always been shop-ping.

Allow me to provide context. For anable-bodied person, if you need to buya 10 kilogram bag of rice, you simplyhop into your car, drive to the neareststore, grab the rice, pay at the counterand drive home.

The whole process takes about fiveminutes. I, however, have to find wherethe nearest store is, figure out how toget in and out of the store, wait fora bus (assuming the store is outsidewalking distance or if there is a streetI cannot safely cross), get from the bus

station to the store, somehow find therice with or without help, get to thecounter, pay for the rice (requiring helpto work the card machine for credit orATM card), carry the bag of rice backto the bus station, wait for the bus, andfinally get on the bus to get home.

What would normally take you fiveminutes, can take me two to three hoursto accomplish — not even countingthe hours spent towards learning busroutes.

On top of that, some of the storesaround where I lived either didn’t havehelpful customer service, or hired peo-ple who did not speak English.

Thus, I was forced to rely on gro-cery delivery services. such as spud.ca,which solved my problem at the time,but meant extra delivery charges.

Being a person who loves to eat,I have become quite good at cookingfor myself — thus my shopping list ismore complicated than Cheerios andKraft dinners.

In addition, being low income, Ineed to know what’s on sale, how muchthings cost, and all the other details.Needless to say, my life during thosefirst few years alone was a struggle asfar as grocery shopping went.

Finally, I learned my way to thenearest Save-On-Foods on StevestonHighway, in the Ironwood neighbor-hood, and I must now tell you, it haschanged my life for the better.

The customer service here has been

top-notch from the get-go. All I have todo is walk into the store, go up to thecustomer service desk, and within threeminutes, a staff member will be stand-ing there with a shopping cart, ready toassist me in my hunt for food.

The staff is friendly and extremelyhelpful. They not only help me retrievethings, they tell me of current deals andspecials, what’s cheap and what’s not,and even provide the occasional helpfulsuggestion and recipe tips.

At times, when other staff membersare on break, the manager himselfcomes out with a shopping cart to per-sonally assist me. Even when checkingout, the staff try to pack my groceriesin such a way that they’d be easier tocarry on my trip home.

In a world of capitalistic rush andchaotic bustles, I find the store’s atti-tude and caring extremely touching.

You, who may have never requiredthis level of help from any store, maybe wondering why I find this worthy ofa news story.

But to me, this store at Ironwoodand its staff have made my life mucheasier, much happier, and for that, Iwant to let everyone know that they arethere.

Too often we hear of the bad things,the sad things. For this once, I want toshare some goodness, some joy, withyou, dear readers.

Kind service makes world of differenceRETAIL

The Editor,Why can’t Richmond residents have

the same rights as Vancouverites inregards to being able to keep backyardchickens?

The City of Richmond bylaw statesthat you’re allowed to have chickens ifyour property is 2,000 square metres,which translates to about half an acre.Who can afford to own that much landin Richmond nowadays?

I don’t see anything wrong withkeeping chickens. Richmond claims tobe involved in efforts to be more sus-tainable, and allowing its residents to

keep backyard chickens should play apart in that.

There are many benefits for keepingbackyard chickens. Chickens are greenand sustainable, they can provide youwith organic food (in the form of greattasting eggs), they can help controlweed and pests from your yard.

I find them to be an excellent formof therapy to help de-stress from the dayto day stresses of life.

Chickens would eat most of thegreens that would normally go in yourgreen bin container and their manuremakes great fertilizer.

Why hasn’t Richmond adopted abylaw similar to the one Vancouver andNorth Vancouver have?

City council should take action inamending our bylaw regarding backyardchickens?

As people get more aware and con-cerned about where their food is comingfrom, more people are going to be inter-ested in keeping chickens in their back-yards, if not as pets then as an organicfood source.

It may well be the way of the future.Lucia Cueva

Community

Life-saving devices installed in public placesAround $40,000 worth of

life-saving defibrillators havebeen donated to strategic parts ofRichmond in a bid to increase pub-lic safety.

King George Park was one suchplace last week when an auto-mated external defibrillator (AED)was handed over bythe Heart & StrokeFoundation to staff atthe park as part of ajoint venture with thegovernment, called theBC Public Access toDefibrillation (PAD)Program.

The initiative was one of sev-eral in Richmond in recent weeks— others were installed at: TerraNova Rural Park; West RichmondPitch and Putt; Steveston-LondonPark; Garden City Park; HughBoyd Park; Minoru Park and soonat Garry Point Park.

A total of 450 AEDs will even-tually be installed at public venuessuch as community centres, arenas,recreation centres, playing fieldsand parks across the province, overthe next two years.

King George Park staff par-

ticipated last week in an overviewabout the device, led by Richmondparamedic Kathy Pascuzzo, wherethey learned the chain of survival— call 911; do CPR and use anAED.

“As a paramedic, I see first-hand the tragic effects of cardiacarrest on the patient as well as thebystanders, who are often friendsand family,” said Pascuzzo. “I

am proud to provideCPR/AED orientationfor my community andincrease the number ofpeople who can pro-vide valuable, life-sav-ing assistance during amedical emergency.”

As a first aid cadet with St.John Ambulance in her youth,Richmond MLA Linda Reidunderstands first-hand how publicaccess to AEDs will have a pro-found and positive impact in thecommunity.

“I encourage everyone to learnCPR; it is an important lifesavingskill,” said Reid.

The British ColumbiaAmbulance Service (BCAS) hasalso linked the AED Registry withthe ambulance dispatch system.

This registry will enable abystander who calls 9-1-1 to be

directed by a BCAS dispatcher tothe nearest AED. BCAS dispatch-ers can also assist bystanders toapply an AED during a medicalemergency.

“We’re placing AEDs wherethere is the greatest chance they’llsave a life,” said Deborah Rusch,PAD program manager with theHeart & Stroke Foundation.

“Through this program, we willdonate hundreds of AEDs to public

places across the province, suchas King George Park, and givebystanders the tools to help some-one suffering a sudden cardiacarrest.”

Sudden cardiac arrest strikessuddenly and affects people ofall ages. BCAS attends between2,400-2,800 cardiac arrest callseach year. Fewer than 12 per centof people who have a cardiac arrestsurvive.

GREAT NEWS - BC’s HOUSING MARKET IS PICKING UP STEAM!The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) released its 2013 Third Quarter Housing Forecast Update recently withvery positive news on the horizon.

BC Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) residential sales are forecast to increase 3.9 per cent to70,300 units this year, before increasing a further 6.1 per cent to 74,600 units in 2014. “Aftera marked pull back of consumer demand in 2012, the housing market is now transitioning tomore elevated home buying activity,” said Cameron Muir, BCREA Chief Economist.“The average MLS® residential price in the province has been revised from remainingunchanged to increasing 3.3 per cent to $531,700 this year. A stronger than expected declinein the inventory of homes for sale has created balanced market conditions in the LowerMainland, causing home prices to align more closely with overall consumer price inflation,”

added Muir. The average MLS® residential price in BC is forecast to increase 2.2 per cent to 543,400 in 2014. - To read the fullarticle go to: http://www.bcrea.bc.ca/news-and-publications/news-room/news-releases/housing-forecast-news-release

the Friday Feature

Scores of children and adultsriding their bicycles peacefullyon a gravel path atop a dyke;

on one side a river or the ocean, theother farmland.

This may describe any rural townin the Netherlands or Richmond’svast dyke network. But the secondthat recreational cyclist dismountsonto a busy urban street, the com-parisons stop.

Whereas a city like Amsterdam— the world’s gold standard ofcommuter cycling — sees about 40per cent of all commutes made bybicycle, Richmond wobbles along atunder two per cent. The problem, saymany cyclists, is Richmond lacks thecommuter cycling infrastructure.

End-of-trip cycling facilities?Forget about it. Safety barriers foron-street bike lanes? Call VancouverMayor Gregor Robertson. Free bike-share programs? What are you smok-ing?

Indeed, while the above examplesof commuter cycling infrastructureare currently lacking in Richmond,it’s an issue the city appears to beworking on.

The question is, how long will it— and should it — take, especiallyin the wake of a cycling-related deathon No. 5 Road earlier this month?

In its Official Community Plan(OCP), the citystates the issue ofactive transporta-tion — biking,walking andtransit — mustbe addressed ifRichmond is tobecome the sus-tainable, livablecity it wants to be by 2041.

And while improvements areongoing, many cyclists, includingone of Richmond’s main cyclingadvocacy groups, HUB, say the cityneeds to do more.

“I think the city wants to be

politically correct and do what theycan. I think they can do more,”explained HUB’s Richmond chair,Derek Williams. “They do have aplan. However, if they can do it for2041, then they can do it sooner. Itjust means they should focus moremoney on it.”

A plan for the futureThe OCP is the pedalling force

behind the city’s plans to move resi-dents out of cars and onto bikes. In2011, according to TransLink’s tripdiary survey, 78 per cent of tripswere made by car in Richmond/South Delta.

The OCPstates that, by2041, this num-ber should be49 per cent (inRichmond) andcycling shouldaccount for 10per cent of alltrips. In 2011,

just 1.3 per cent of trips were madeby bicycle in Richmond/South Delta.

Put simply, if you add the esti-mated 80,000 additional people whowill live in Richmond by 2041 andeveryone continues to drive at thecurrent rate, things could get prettyhectic — if they aren’t already.

In order to achieve its goal, theOCP states it must encourage morebike trips while discouraging cartrips, support cycling training pro-grams, implement or improve bylawspertaining to cycling safety, andimprove the overall cycling culture ofthe city.

Infrastructure such as physicalbike-lane barriers, cyclist prioritytraffic signals and shower and lockerfacilities for cyclists at major citydestinations are some examples thatwill help the OCP goals.

Follow the moneyWhile many of the cited OCP

cycling improvements are nowherenear fruition presently, Williams sayshe has seen a slight increase in com-muter cycling around Richmond.

“I would say it’s on the increasebut we are limited with safe cyclingroutes; while there are more com-muters we’re funneled onto only afew roads,” he said.

But, ultimately, Williams says theamount of funds being allocated tocommuter cycling needs boosting.

Williams says about $8 millionneeds to be spent annually for theforeseeable future to make the city’scommuter cycling network world-class.

Bikes still lagging behindIS THIS A CYCLING CITY?

How safe is it tocycle on Richmond’s

streets?“I find there isn’t astrong awareness of

bike culture and behav-iour. I do like the [Gar-

den City] route thatI take because it has

good sight lines.”- Keith Martin

“It’s getting better allthe time. I’m liking thenew bike paths. The bi-cycle bridge is awesome

and the path alongGranville is great, I use

it all the time.”- Roland Greczmiel

“It’s horrible. Whenyou get across the

bridges, you’re kindof dumped into a no-

man’s land of bikelanes that don’t line-upwith the bike lanes that

enter Richmond.”- Kyle Bennett

“Overall, the routes aregood and well laid out.Probably the most dan-gerous route is the one

on No. 3 Road.”

- Rick Plumley

the Friday Feature

Joan Caravan, a transportation planner for theCity of Richmond whose task is to overseecycling infrastructure and programs said it’sdifficult to determine exactly how much thecity dedicates to improving cycling infra-structure.

Under the 2013 $16 million roads bud-get, $340,000 is dedicated to the ActiveTransportation Program, which builds path-ways, manages programs and oversees relatedcivic events.

However, half of that money comes fromTransLink and the province. Furthermore,within the rest of theroads budget, many streetimprovements — such asthe one on Nelson Roadbetween Blundell Roadand Westminster Highway— include measures toeither install or improvebike lanes.

Caravan said someof the bike lanes beinginstalled in Richmond,such as the bike route southbound on No. 3Road at Firbridge Way, are a result of the citydemanding them from condo developers.

Williams contends such policies, as wellas under funding and the drawn out goals ofthe OCP, have resulted in the city’s commuterbike lanes being a disconnected jig-sawpuzzle that discourages commuter cycling ona regular basis.

He notes northeast Richmond, such asthe No. 5 Road and Cambie Road shoppingcentre, is particularly vacant of cycling infra-structure.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said

the city is focused on improving bike lanesand while there is “room for improvement”the city needs to budget where it sees appro-priate.

“I think it’s unrealistic to say we’ll takemoney out of our regular budget. It takestime for these things to develop,” he said.

Time and issuesWilliams says there is no excuse not to be

able to cycle in Richmond, citing its conve-nience, flat terrain and tolerable weather.

Indeed, according to the OCP, 50 percent of commutes in Richmond are within

five kilometres, mean-ing a cyclist can get tothe destination within 20minutes. And while it rainsmore in Richmond thanAmsterdam, there are moresunshine hours per month.

Williams representsHUB at the RichmondActive TransportationCommittee, a public groupthat meets once a month at

city hall from fall to spring to mostly discussrecreational and commuter cycling issues andevents with city officials — Caravan beingthe main representative.

The issues are wide-ranging. Some arevisible to the public, some not.

Graeme Bone, a Richmond resident whoattended last Wednesday’s meeting, saysresidents should first focus on short cyclingcommutes like going to the store.

“As opposed to Bike-to-Work Week, Ithink Bike-to-the-Store Week would be morefitting,” said Bone.

According to TransLink, 85 per cent ofcommutes for shopping and personal busi-ness are accomplished by cars in Richmondand South Delta, indicating that some peoplemay use transit to get to work but end theirday with a drive to the grocery store.

Bone said he comes to meetings to voicehis input on issues. And, like many cyclists,he still owns a car and uses it for long com-mutes to work in Vancouver to save time ashe raises his baby.

Another topic was the new $3-millionRailway Greenway, a project many cyclistsare already lauding as a venue for improvingbike culture in the city.

Both Williams and Caravan say the green-way will act as a stepping stone for new com-muter cyclists.

“We’re trying to get people who are notriding now and provide some alternative plac-es to ride on to get more comfortable withriding their bikes — kind of like a gradua-tion,” explained Caravan.

Safety questionedSafety is always a concern for cyclists,

said Williams. Since 2008, an average of 58cyclists have been injured in motor vehicleaccidents in Richmond annually, accordingto ICBC.

At June’s meeting the committee recom-mended a lighter shade of green over a darkerone for painted bike lanes at intersections.The lighter shade is better for night visibilityand matches the City of Vancouver lanes.

One of the biggest safety concerns theRichmond News received from cyclists at theCanada Line bridge was the No.3 Road bikelane. Bumpy ramps, countless busy drive-ways, and blind spots from the Canada Linepillars are among some of the complaints.

Williams also points to the piecemealnetwork southbound on No.3 Road and theabsence of a northbound lane in front of cityhall to connect with Granville Avenue.

This puts cyclists in precarious positions,having to share the narrow and busy road asthey connect to other bike routes.

TransLink notes that between 2008 and2011 cycling commutes stayed level inRichmond and South Delta at 1.3 per centwhile car commutes dropped from 81 to 78per cent. In its mode share report the transitauthority cited the Canada Line for the threeper cent overall spike in transit use but madeno mention of the line’s effect on bike use.

The Fast and the FuriousPerhaps one of the most contentious issues

with commuter cyclists will come under thespotlight of media next week at the Union ofB.C. Municipalities annual meeting.

The City of Victoria has requested theB.C. government lower its default city speedlimit to 40 km/hr.

Williams is on board. Brodie is not.“(Drivers) don’t adhere to the speed limits

now. If you drive down No.1 Road or No. 2Road at 50 km/hr you’re being passed.…OnSteveston Highway, 80 km/hr is normal. It’srarely enforced,” said Williams.

“I think we should continue with the 50km/hr limit and vary speeds elsewhere,” saidBrodie, noting some street speed limits canbe lowered by the city on its own, like inSteveston Village. “I just can’t see a blanketreduction — there are so many circumstanc-es. Should you have a 40 km/hr speed limiton our roads I think it (would be) an overgen-eralization,” added Brodie.

Cycling’s futureThe OCP map of the 2041 commuter

cycling network indicates major roads like

Francis, Gilbert, No. 2 and No. 5 will seechanges such as shared bike lanes or “roaddiets” with dedicated bike lanes like the oneson Williams. Barriers on roads like Railwayor Garden City may not be far off in thefuture as well.

As the OCP points out, the city has twochoices: Get people out of their cars or face“rising traffic congestion, a deterioration inair quality and an omnipresence of cars inevery neighbourhood.”

Moving forward, the city will likely con-tinue to usher in developers who will beasked to fund bike networks along the streets.Eventually, says Caravan, the network willlink up.

Meanwhile, the challenge for Williamsand his fellow HUB members will be toexpand the culture of cycling from the dyketo the street.

“As long as it’s too easy to drive, they willdrive.”

Williams: Bike lanes a disconnected jig-saw


The future of cycling in Richmond, according to the OCP 2041, could include moreshared bike lanes, and possible barriers on the roads.


Derek Williams says many bike lanesin Richmond are disconnected, leading todead ends.

Bike-to-the-StoreWeek would be more

Canadian investors havebeen steadily accumulat-ing exchange-traded funds(ETFs) in their portfolios,with many viewing themas a one-ticket solution forsuch things as diversifica-tion, liquidity, low fees,flexibility, transparencyand tax efficiency.

A research report fromNational Bank Financialstates Canadian ETFs

attracted $1.5 billion forJune, despite negativereturns for both stocks andbonds.

This puts total CanadianETF assets just over $59billion, and a large portionof the June net inflows canbe attributed to the iSharesS&P/TSX 60 Index (TSX:XIU), which had a whop-

ping $1.1 billion of theflow.

Unfortunately, it appearsthat investors are not doingtheir homework; insteadbuying ETFs blindly, with-out assessing whether par-ticular products are rightfor their portfolios. Thepopularity of XIU is a casein point.

More than 70 per centof the ETF is comprisedof financials, energy andmaterials. While financialstend to be more stable innature, the energy andmaterials sectors are sub-ject to high volatility.

In fact, the materialssector is down -33 per centon the year and is one ofthe largest contributors tothe underperformance ofthe S&P/TSX this year.

According to RBCWealth Management ana-lysts, Canadian equityportfolios with TSXComposite-like sectorcomposition face the pros-pect of sub-par returns inyears ahead.

RBC analysts believethe main Canadian equitysectors are set to confront anumber of headwinds thatare unlikely to abate in theforeseeable future, and thatmaintaining such a highlevel of concentration riskis an approach unlikely tobe rewarded.

The key reasons are theeffect of high householddebt levels and inflatedreal estate markets on thefinancial industry, andpending issues in the com-modities markets.

That’s not to say thatinvestors should avoid theCanadian index ETFs.

Rather, they shouldbe more cognizant of theproducts they are purchas-ing and realize that morediversification may bewarranted.

To diversify Canadianequity portfolios, investorsshould consider ETFs thatprovide exposure to otherareas of the index; creat-ing a much more balancedapproach.

Investors could purchase

the First Asset MorningstarCanada Momentum ETF(TSX: WXM) and the FirstAsset Morningstar CanadaValue Index ETF (TSX:FXM).

The former uses pricemomentum as a core com-ponent of its screeningprocess while the latterscreens for price-to-earn-ings ratios, cash flow ratio,price-to-book value andsales, and earnings esti-mate revisions.

A combination of thetwo has provided a betterrisk-adjusted return withreduced volatility, and hasoutperformed the bench-mark every year since2001.

The BMO LowVolatility Canadian EquityETF (TSX: ZLB) is anoth-er interesting product.

As the name implies,the ETF has been designedto provide exposure to alow beta weighted portfo-lio of Canadian stocks.

This ETF’s sector allo-cation has a much heavierweighting in the moredefensive sectors such asconsumer staples and utili-ties.

Investors without thetime or inclination to“do the homework” forproper diversification canopt for a professionallymanaged ETF portfolio,either through SeparatelyManaged Accounts or withwraps.

In the former, investorshave direct ownership ofthe individual ETFs butinstitutional-calibre man-agers handle the investingand ongoing rebalancing.

The latter are similar tomutual fund wraps, exceptthat the underlying invest-ments are generally muchmore cost effective.

If you had been stroll-ing the sunny sidewalks ofSteveston on Sunday, Sept.8, you may have overheardmusic drifting up from besidethe community centre.

If you had been curiousenough to venture closeryou might have noticed thespeakers, the small blue tents,the wooden stage, and the crowd made upof families, lounging teenagers, and dancingtoddlers.

The event, “Arts in the Park” began at12 p.m. and ran until 8 p.m. It featured 29performers made up local musicians, poets, amartial artist, an improv team and an inspira-tional speaker.

Singer/songwriter Gio Levy drew outsome Spanish Media, while bands like Green

Tree and Funkshwey hadaudiences grooving fromtheir lawn chairs and picnicblankets.

But what may come asa surprise is the fact thatthe entire eventwas organized bylocal teenagers— Angelica Poversky

and Emily May as a way to getyouth outdoors.

Another noteworthy point: theyput the entire event together in little morethan a month.

The event was initially Angelica’s assign-ment. In July, she attended a “Get OutdoorsBC” Leadership Summit in Squamish andwas given the option of either planning anevent, or a long-term project to get youth

outside.As a passionate slam poet, Angelica’s

initial idea was to organize an outdoor slampoetry festival. It was later, while consider-ing the performance line-up that this visionshifted to accommodate a variety of acts.

Recognizing the huge task ahead,Angelica approached Emily for help afew days later and “Arts in the Park”was born.

Meanwhile, other “Get OutdoorsBC” attendees planned events suchas: scavenger hunts, amazing races,

school hiking groups and longboarding races.In the weeks that led up to the event,

flyers were distributed, Facebook updatesposted, performers contacted and sponsorscollected. The sponsors were McDonald’s,Starbucks, Safeway, Save On Foods, CobbsBread, Coast Capital Savings and Get

Outside BC. It was a stressful month for bothof them, but the end result was a smooth-run-ning, organized concert, made up of talentedlocal youth. The audience, that grew as theday progressed, was friendly and was keptentertained for the duration of the event. Andthe organizers sang praises about the commit-ment and effort of the volunteers.

Both Emily and Angelica made appear-ances on the stage, as well. Emily performedthree songs — singing and playing the guitar— and Angelica recited some original poetry.They thoroughly proved how capable they areboth in the spotlight, and behind the scenes.

“The feedback has been amazing,” saidAngelica. “We’ve already had people askingabout whether there will be an Arts in thePark 2014.”

I’ve been pitting mywits against those of theraccoon lately. For sometime I suspected my onlyadvantage was that I knewthe etymology of pit andwit and the raccoon didn’t.

“Pytt” and “gewitt” arethe Old English roots ofthese words, though “pytt”ultimately derives from the Latin noun“puteus,” meaning well or pit. In the 18thcentury, pit started to serve as a verb aswell, signifying to fight or oppose — aneasy conversion, because pits were theusual location for these public sparringmatches.

Wit refers to a certain mental quick-ness or liveliness. Once upon a timewit functioned as a verb — it meant tohave knowledge of (it’s related to theGerman “wissen”). The expression Godwot means God knows. The verb wit alsosurvives in the phrase to wit — meaningnamely, or that is.

The raccoon was unmoved by mysuperior etymological knowledge.

Nor was it impressed to learn thatits name, which originated with theAlgonquian Indians, was first recorded in1608.

When raccoons come lumberingthrough the neighbourhood, crows heraldtheir arrival by cawing threats and div-ing through the air like bomber pilots.The raccoons used to flee from my yardwhen I clapped my hands and shouted, orhurled pieces of wood at them.

Not anymore. They turn a deaf earnow and seem certain that my aim hasn’timproved.

They’ve never raided my garbage can,but regrettably, one evening I did forgetto put the lid back on the compost bin.That night they attacked the contentslike frenetic shoppers storming througha sales bin. But even before that night of

bliss, they came regularlyand deposited their feces inthe yard.

A couple of weeks agotheir routine changed. Ormaybe it was a new batchof raccoons.

One evening, while Iwas working in the garden,a powerful odour descend-

ed from the sky.The last time I’d smelled something

similar was in a stable with horse urinerunning down the centre.

A few days later, I noticed the gut-ter of my deck had an unusual outline. Iclimbed up the step-ladder and discov-ered a pile of raccoon feces. It had dried.I removed it.

The following week, while sitting onmy deck early one morning I was assailedagain by that potent smell of urine. I gotthe step-ladder and found another pile offeces on the gutter. It was fresh. I blewmy top and got my camera.

If a tolerated nuisance on the ground,raccoons on the roof were definitely ver-boten. I retaliated with ammonia-filledcontainers.

They say ammonia mimics coyoteurine, and raccoons supposedly fear coy-otes.

Well, coyotes must have lost some oftheir grint. My visiting raccoons treatedthe containers with disdain.

The time had come to play my finalcard — cut off access to the roof. One byone, the overhanging branches of a near-by tree came crashing to the ground.

Surely I’ve now outwitted the rac-coons.

Or have I? What if they return, notoutwitted but outfitted – to scale sheerhouse walls?

Thompson challenges creativity

The Thompson Community CentreArt Committee wants people to get cre-ative as registration for its Second AnnualCommunity Art Challenge opens nextMonday, Sept. 16.

Artists, wannabe artists or even thosesuddenly struck with a burst of inspirationare encouraged to participate and submita piece using any medium on a 10”x10”canvas.

“Last year’s event was fabulous,” said artcommittee member Violet Smythe of the 27pieces received. “The opportunity to createsomething is unlimited. The only limit isyour imagination. We had someone mounta photograph on the canvas last year, whichwe weren’t expecting.”

Participants must register in person at thecommunity centre, where they pay a fee of$6 and pick up their canvas. Those willingto create more than one work can registertwice. All canvases have to be submitted byMonday, Nov. 25.

This year’s five themes are active living— what does it mean to you?; volunteer-ism — how do you help and where?; yourneighbourhood — what makes it special?;

our dyke trail; and our rich farming heri-tage.

All artwork will be on display at thecommunity centre in January and February.

Smythe came across the idea when hear-ing about the Sketchbook Challenge, incities across the U.S. — artists fill sketch-books instead of canvases.

“It’s interesting to see what people comeup with,” said Smythe, herself an artist.“Engaging in art contributes to a person’sself-development. Art becomes a way ofcommunication. Last year, people wouldcome into the centre, look and discuss thework with each other. It helps build strongerfoundations in their community.”

Smythe anticipates greater interest thisyear than at the inaugural challenge and has50 canvases in stock for eager art enthusi-asts.

“It gives people the chance to representtheir community, their neighbourhood, andshare stories about their life in Richmond,”she said.

To register, visit the ThompsonCommunity Centre at 5151 Granville St.The challenge encourages a variety of skillsand ages to participate, with last year’sevent receiving submissions from kids asyoung as 13.

Stay in the moment, stay focused andbring earplugs, if necessary. Taking a pageout of a younger artist’s book wouldn’t hurt.

Those are words of advice fromMark Glavina to any artist preparingto take on the fourth annual StevestonGrand Prix of Art on Saturday, Sept. 21.

“Adults put way more pressureon themselves than the youth,” saidGlavina, owner of the Phoenix Art Workshopin Steveston and organizer of the ever-grow-ing community event.

“Kids are better at beingin the moment. I find theirworks are freer in style, andinterpretations of the loca-tion are very interesting.They have no fear.”

And this year’s eventwill see “tons of youth”joining, as well as a recordnumber of artists in general, according toGlavina.

Once the horn sounds Saturday morning,close to 100 eager artists, armed with theirequipment, will be sent to various locationsaround Steveston to paint for three hours.

At the end of the three hours, all artworkmust be ready for hanging in the ChineseBunk House at Britannia Shipyard.

An award ceremony follows with firstplace receiving the Gray Cup, named afterDan Gray who started a similar grand prix inQualicum 20 years ago.

“Once I participated in Qualicum, Iwas addicted,” said Glavina, who was theninspired to bring the challenge to Steveston.“There’s this adrenaline rush mixed in withnervousness and anxiety.

“People’s personalities really come out.There’s something about that terrify-ing experience that has people com-ing back for more.”

Another appeal for the event ishow it takes art out of the static con-fines of a gallery, letting the public

see the intensity and excitement, and theartistic process as they watch the paintings

unfold.“It sheds light on the

art and artists in the com-munity like no other eventhas done,” said Glavina.“The artists are taking arisk, putting their reputa-tion on the line. It putstheir art in a new perspec-tive and also provides

some new perspectives of Steveston.”This year, the exhibition has been expand-

ed to a week. Viewers will be able to see thework until Sunday, Sept. 29 from 12 to 5 p.m.each day (gallery will be closed Sept. 23).

Glavina also wants to have similar eventsin Ladner next year. The Municipality ofDelta has expressed an interest, contributingto the vision of a grand prix circuit.

Pre-registration is open until Sept. 17 andcosts $20 for adults and $15 for youth. Artistscan also register Saturday, but will cost $5more. Visit www.grandprixofart.com.

The best rivalry in the Pacific International JuniorHockey League picked up where it left off in years past asthe Richmond Sockeyes and Delta Ice Hawks battled to a4-4 overtime tie to open up the 2013-14 regular season onTuesday night.

Last spring, the cross-river rivals went seven games inthe Tom Shaw Conference finals. Richmond not only wonthe series but went on to capture the league, provincialand Western Canadian championships. This time, therewere plenty of new faces in both line-ups as the clubshave lost plenty of talent to graduation and promotion.However, there was at least one familiar name that made asignificant impact.

The difference between a Sockeyes victory and set-tling for a single point was Alex Anhert. The veteran IceHawks goaltender showed why he was the league’s topgoaltender last season with an outstanding performance asRichmond outshot the hosts 54-26 on the night.

The Sockeyes still seemed poised to come away with awin after opening up a 3-0 lead after 20 minutes on goalsby Dominic Centis, John Wesley and local product JacobWozney. However, Delta answered with unassisted sec-ond period goals from Brent Chreptyk and captain MarcLetourneau, before pulling even when Michael Olson-Eyre converted a rebound at the 8:40 mark of the thirdperiod.

Anhert’s brilliant night looked to be spoiled whenrookie Carson Rose wired a shot past him with just 2:24remaining. However, Delta sent the game into overtimewhen Benjamin Blake beat Richmond goalie KootenayAlder 1:09 later. The 4-on-4 and 3-on-3 overtime periodscouldn’t produce a winner.

Sockeyes settle fortie to open season

Hirayama added to B.C. Bears line-up for Ontario tiltThe B.C. Bears have bolstered their line-

up for Saturday’s game back east againstthe Ontario Blues with the addition of threenational team players including NathanHirayama.

The Richmond native returns to theBears line-up for the first-time this season,along with Sean White and Harry Jones,after a busy summer helping Canada qualifyfor the 2015 Rugby World Cup as well asrepresenting their country in the PacificNations Cup and 2013 Rugby Sevens WorldCup.

Jones and Hirayama will be welcomed

additions to the roster, especially due to thefact that leading scorers and kickers PatKay (UVic Vikes) and Connor Braid (JamesBay) are unable to travel due to injuries.

“It’s great to have these guys back andinvolved in the program as they bring expe-rience,” said Bears head coach Jim Dixon.“They have played at a level of intensitythat’s required to win big fixtures and therewill be a lot of pressure on our program towin in Ontario this weekend.”

The Bears recently fell 11-7 against theBlues in a defensive battle in Langford.The home side had plenty of possession but

were unable to capitalize on scoring oppor-tunities when they presented themselves.

“We need to be more accurate on ourattack and unfortunately Ontario won thecontest at the breakdown in that game,”Dixon added. “Our defence as a whole hasbeen good but lapses have cost us tries andwe need to make sure we are switched onall the time, especially when facing a sidelike Ontario.”

The Bears will head to rugby hotbedLindsay with the goal of handing the Bluestheir first loss of the season. The roster willbe without the services of Rugby World

Cup veteran Adam Kleeberger but willhave plenty of experience with capped-forward Aaron Flagg (Abbotsford RFC)and Canada-A and Sevens speedster SeanFerguson (UBC Thunderbirds) in the backline. Meraloma standout Callum Morrisonwill captain the Bears for the third straightmatch.

“We’re going there to win the game,”added Dixon. “We have improved over thefirst three games and we came very close towinning our last one against them a coupleweekends ago. Now the expectation is totake things a step further.”

Florida upnext forpitcher

Tom Robson’s rewardfor his clutch playoff per-formance Monday nightis a six week all-expensespaid trip to Florida.

The Toronto Blue Jaystop prospect is getting achance to be a typical 20-year-old before headingsouth for what actually willbe more work to concludehis season.

Robson is enjoying afew days with family andfriends then will leave forFlorida for instructionalleague ball.

The Ladner nativeknew of his destinationprior to Monday’s six anda third inning masterpieceagainst the Boise Hawksthat paved the way for a a5-0 Vancouver Canadians’victory and their third con-secutive Northwest Leagueplayoff title.

“I knew two weeks agowhere I would be going butbecause we went as far aswe did in the playoffs and Igot a couple of more starts,they gave me a week off,”said Robson. “It’s kind ofbittersweet. That wouldhave been a great way toend my season.”

Prior to the best-of-threeseries, Robson learnedhe would get the start if athird and deciding gamewas needed.

“To be honest, I was justhoping we would win thefirst two games and thatwould be it,” he laughed.

“I had a hard time timefalling asleep Sunday nightand Monday might havebeen the longest day ofmy life. “There was just somuch going through myhead. Here was my home-town team trying to winthree (championships) ina row. I also knew it waslikely the very last timea lot of my family andfriends would see my pitch.That’s a lot on your shoul-ders.”
