CHUNG CHOW/RICHMOND NEWS

Firefighter ... Richard Kam, above,explains what it’s like to be a firefighterat a job fair held at Brighouse Librarylast week where an estimated 1,000 jobseekers came looking to be recruited byexhibitors such as the city and retail andservice agencies. Many filled out appli-cations and attached resumes.

DEVELOPMENT

Hundreds attendOnni open house

When Mary Cohene moved to Stevestona few years ago, she knew she would even-tually have a new condo building built infront of hers on Bayview Street.

What she never counted on was the citymoving the goalposts for the developer.

And now, instead of a three-storeybuilding, she faces the prospect of a 12-storey tower going up right in front ofwhere she lives.

It would be one of two residentialtowers that would be built if Onni canpersuade the city to approve a rezoningthat would see land swapped to the city inexchange for a quadrupling of its currentpermitted density.

“I bought there knowing full well thatbuilding would go up in front of me,” saidCohene. “I knew I would lose my view.But 12 storeys in front of me? I’ll have nosun at all.”

Cohene was one of several hundredresidents who crowded into the gym of theSteveston Community Centre Thursdayto learn details of the proposal at an openhouse hosted by Onni.

Many signed comment sheets, whichwill be forwarded to city hall, as part ofthe rezoning application.

The land in question is 3.5 acres leftover from the Imperial Landing develop-ment, which was built after Onni boughtthe land, rezoned, from BC Packers.

The 3.5-acre strip along the water canbe developed, as Onni already has a devel-opment permit to build up to six buildings,capped at three storeys, with up to 52 resi-dential units.

There is also a maritime commercial des-ignation — something of an anachronismnow, thanks to the decline of the commer-cial fishing sector over the last decades.

Suicideaverted

‘I knew I would lose myview. But 12 storeys in

front of me?’— resident

A couple of Richmond cyclists arebeing credited for talking a man, whowas about to commit suicide, off theIronworkers Memorial Bridge lastweek.

Frank Robson and Kevin Hullwere cycling from Richmond toNorth Vancouver last week and wereabout half-way across the bridgewhen they saw a shoe on the side-walk.

“Frank slammed on his brakesand said, ‘Did you see that guy?’”Hull told the News. “Frank saw a guystanding outside the rail on a cable.”

Robson had been training lastweek for the Whistler GranFondobike race and the trip to NorthVancouver Sept. 6 and back wasintended as a warm-up.

Hull and Robson are both airlinepilots, and Robson concedes histraining may have helped.

Hull said Robson took charge ofthe situation immediately, approach-ing the man, whom Hull described as“an old fellow” who was very upset.

“I really think my friend Frankdid an amazing job,” Hull said. “Heengaged the man. He asked him hisname — he befriended the guy rightthen and there.”

Robson said the man was standingon a cable and holding onto anothercable with his hands. He said he wascautious in approaching the man, ashe didn’t want to do anything thatmight prompt the man to jump.

“He was standing barefoot there,”he said. “I just approached him slow-ly and I kind of squatted down andtalked to him through the rail.”

Public funding of fish farms slammedOnly five voices were heard out of 65 attending sockeye probe

Perhaps they were satiated byan abundance of sockeye, orjust tired from catching so

many of them.Or maybe they have seen too

many ineffective inquiries before tothink anything will change.

Whatever the reason, whengiven the chance Monday to tellOttawa via the Cohen Commissionwhat they think is wrong with thePacific salmon fishery, local com-mercial fishermen mostly heldtheir tongues. So did anti-fish farmactivists, who handed out pamphletsbut did not formally address thecommission.

Roughly 65 people attended aCohen Commission public hearingat Steveston-London SecondarySchool Monday night. But onlyfive addressed Bruce Cohen, a B.C.Supreme Court judge appointed byPrime Minister Stephen Harper toprobe last year’s Fraser River sock-eye failure.

One of the speakers, VivianKrause, a former fish farm consul-tant, was challenged on her accusa-tions that scientists, universities andenvironmental organizations havebeen paid by American philanthro-pist organizations to sway the pub-lic away from farmed to wild fish.

Eric Wickham, a Vancouverfisherer who wrote Dead Fish andFat Cats, said he found Krause’s“conspiracy” theories disturbingand countered that the Canadianpublic has been subsidizing theaquaculture industry.

Wickham had been appointed asa “token” fisherman to AquaNet,which he said received “tens ofmillions of dollars” from Ottawa tosupport aquaculture research.

“The board was controlled bythe salmon farming industry,” hesaid, adding it became an “old boys

club” in which board membersvoted each other grants.

Wickham documented howfederal money was being spent bythe group, then went public with areport which resulted in AquaNetlosing its funding and being dis-solved.

But that hasn’t stopped Ottawafrom subsidizing privately ownedfish farms with public money,Wickham said.

He cited the announcement lastmonth by federal Fisheries MinisterGail Shea of $637,678 in fund-ing for six aquaculture projects inB.C., including a $200,000 grant toSablefish Canada Inc., a subsidiaryof Marine Harvest, which Wickhamadded is owned by one of the rich-est men in Norway.

“Should we be giving $200,000to a billionaire whose company isshowing substantial profits rightnow?” he asked Cohen, rhetorically.

“What I find disturbing is that

public money is going to big multi-national corporations,” Wickhamsaid. “The information is usuallykept secret. It’s to do research, butnobody knows what happens. I findthat disturbing.”

He concluded by telling Cohenthat the problem with the B.C.fishery is the way it’s managed bythe Department of Fisheries andOceans.

“I don’t know how you canchange it,” he said. “I suggest youjust shut it down and start over.”

Others echoed that sentiment.Gary Williamson, a commercialfisherman, said he never fishedunless DFO called an opening.

“So if we’ve over-exploited theresource at some point, it’s has tobe DFO’s fault,” he said.

Too often fishermen havemissed the chance to catch FraserRiver sockeye because DFO wasslow off the mark to call an open-ing. Williamson cited the first

three-hour opening that was calledthis year as an example.

He said test fisheries indicatedan abundance of fish, which meantcommercial fishermen could havehad a longer initial opening.

“They seem to be just ignor-ing what their own observers get,”Williamson told Cohen. “Nowthere’s a huge run, they didn’t openit on the front end, so now theycan’t open it on the back because ofthe coho.”

Conspicuously absent Mondaywas John Cummins, the Delta-Richmond East MP whose lobbyingefforts are partly responsible for thecommission being struck.

Cummins has been highlycritical of some of Cohen’s appoint-ments to the commission’s sciencepanels, however his absence wasn’ta boycott, he said.

“I didn’t feel my presence therewas going to be particularly helpful,so I thought I’d just stay away forthe time being,” he told the News.

Although his original mandatewas to probe what happened tolast year’s return of just 1.5 millionFraser River sockeye (10.5 millionwere expected), Cohen will also belooking at this year’s remarkablerebound — about 35 million.

Another business has successfullyrezoned its property to light industrialin Richmond’s controversial RiverRoad agricultural district.

Coun. Harold Steves was the soleopponent of a move by Virdi PacificHoldings to rezone its property so itcould build a manufacturing facilityin the 1,600 block of River Road.

The company — which makes cus-tom-built cabinets — will now moveits manufacturing arm east from theBridgeport area to River Road.

Steves was one of five council-lors on the city’s planning commit-

tee who in July voted in favour ofQuadra Coast Carriers’ bid to rezoneits 16780 River Rd. property fromagriculture to light industrial in orderto store commercial vehicles — some-thing the company had been doingillegally for years anyway.

Steves said on Monday heapproved Quadra Coast’s applica-tion because its trucks were directlyconnected with the local blueberryindustry.

“But (Virdi Pacific’s application)has nothing to do with agriculture,”Steves said.

Virdi’s application was approvedby the planning committee last weekand was rubber stamped by city coun-cil on Monday night, with Steves theonly opposition.

Prior to Quadra’s recent rezoningapplication, a number of businessesin the River Road area — includingQuadra and Virdi Pacific — werefined by the city for repeated infrac-tions of local zoning bylaws.

The strip of River Road east of No.6 Road, where the properties are, hasa mongrel zoning.

Steves plows lone furrow against River Road rezoning


Environmental groups posted signs and handed out leaflets, butnone made formal presentations to the Cohen Commission which helda public hearing at Steveston-London secondary Monday evening.Local commercial fishers were also mostly silent.

Residents who use thepublic walkway don’t likethe existing plan becauseit would come to within 30feet of the public walkway,which many feel wouldcrowd the public space toomuch.

But many Stevestonhomeowners — as well ascitizens who live outside ofSteveston — don’t like theidea of two residential tow-ers on the waterfront, evenif it would mean the citygetting two acres of land forpublic use.

Once residents attendingThursday’s open house wereable to see the models ofthe two different proposals,and ask questions, manysaw the merit in what isnow proposed, said Onnispokesman Chris Evans.

“I think the people whounderstand the current zon-ing understand the meritsof the proposed zoning,” hesaid.

Maryilyn and MichaelKrygier have lived inSteveston since 1981. Theylive in Mariner’s Villageso would not be directlyaffected by the two towers.However, they don’t like theprecedent it would set.

“I’ve seen change, andthere’s nothing wrong withchange,” Marilyn Krygiersaid. “But once you do

highrises, you set a prec-edent.”

She also worries aboutthe increased traffic.

“What used to takefive minutes to get out ofSteveston now takes 20minutes.”

“The traffic will beabominable,” Coheneagreed.

The plan calls for put-ting parking below groundon two levels. Lookingat a map of the proposedbuildings, Gordon Kibblepointed to how narrow thespace is between the riverbank and the buildings, andwonders if the tower closestto the bank might weakenthe dyke.

“They’re going to haveto cut into the dyke or atleast come close enough toweaken it,” he said.

Coun. Evelina Halsey-Brandt said she sympa-thizes with residents likeCohene. She too lives in acondo with another three-storey building facing hers.

“I would be really tickedif someone came along andput a 10-storey building infront of me,” she said.

On the other hand, shesaid the residents who liveat Imperial Landing willhave to decide if the alter-native is preferable — arow of three-storey build-ings hugging the publicwalkway and a lot of vacantcommercial space on theground floor.

“No building is not anoption,” she said.

Some residents disagree.“I’d prefer to have the

city come in and buy itout,” said Michael Krygier.

But even if Onni wereprepared to sell, councillors

say the cost of 3.5 acres ofwaterfront property wouldbe astronomical.

The 3.5 acres areassessed at $6 million. Butwith the current zoning, themarket price is more in the$6 million per acre range,according to one estimate.

“We don’t have themoney,” says Coun. BillMcNulty, who chairs thecity’s planning committee.

The city has a landacquisition plan for the city,but three acres of waterfrontfor Steveston isn’t on thecity’s priority list, accordingto Coun. Derek Dang.

“I wouldn’t vote forsomething that is going tocost the city money withouta plan,” Dang said. “I don’tsee us buying somethingthat’s not even on the list ofthings we want.”

The city’s budget forland acquisition enjoyed amassive but brief expan-

sion after the city pocketed$142 million from the saleof lands adjacent to theRichmond speed skatingoval to Aspac, then spent asizeable chunk of it to buythe Garden City lands fromthe Musqueam First Nation.

“That pretty well blewthe bank,” said Coun. GregHalsey-Brandt, who votedagainst the BC Packersrezoning back in 1999,along with Mayor MalcolmBrodie (then a city coun-cilor). He still feels the citygot a raw deal.

“I thought it was goingto be a problem from theget-go,” he said. “I don’tthink either of us felt therewas enough park and openspace in the project.”

Onni will be hostinga second open house onits proposal Sept. 22 atthe Steveston communityCentre from 5 to 8 p.m.

‘Buy it’: Councillors say no way

Robson simply asked the man’s name,where he lived and asked what he wasdoing there.

He said it didn’t take much to convincethe man not to jump.

“I talked to him for a little while. . .telling him he probably should rethinkwhat he’s doing and things can’t be all thatbad. He did tell me that he had a lot oftroubles.”

He said the man’s appearance suggestedhe may have come from the Vancouver Eastside.

“It didn’t take long. A few suggestionson my part and he was making the moveto come over the side, so Kevin and I each

grabbed an arm and hauled him over,”Robson said.

By the time the man was back over therailing, the police had arrived, so the twomen assumed someone called 911. Theman was taken into custody and a psychiat-ric assessment was ordered.

North Vancouver RCMP describedRobson’s and Hull’s efforts as heroic —something both men are downplaying.

“Kevin and I helped a guy and it turnedout just fine, and that makes me happy,”Robson said.

As for that 120-kilometre race fromVancouver to Whistler on the weekend,Robson didn’t do too bad for a 54-year-oldguy. He clocked a time of 5:13.

Robson: Man had ‘troubles’


Martin Comyn is suspicious about the orientation of thebuilding towers in one of the models on display at an openhouse last week on Onni’s two-tower proposal. Anotheropen house will be held next week.

The economic impact of last year’s BC Senior Games wasworth more than $2 million to Richmond.

Figures released by the City of Richmond, as part of aneconomic impact summary, show that the expenditure acrossthe city directly linked to the Games was estimated at $1.4million.

But with almost 4,000 athletes competing at the Games— the most ever — the benefits to Richmond ran deeperwith 1,500 participants staying in the city’s hotels; peoplestaying an average of 3.4 nights each; an equivalent of 2,915Richmond hotel room nights being generated.

However, none of the encouraging statistics came as ashock to the Richmond 2009 BC Seniors Games Societypresident Jim Lamond.

“No, I wasn’t at all surprised. This was the biggest SeniorGames ever held in B.C. and we had close to 4,000 athletescompeting. So it doesn’t surprise me that it had such a suc-cessful impact on the city’s economy,” said Lamond, who’salso chair of the Richmond Sports Council.

“We did think that there would be a certain amount ofbenefit to the city because a lot of these 4,000 people had tobook into hotels.”

Of the Games’ 3,817 registered competitors, 831 werefrom the Lower Mainland, 758 from the Fraser Valley and theremaining 2,228 from the rest of B.C.

Interviews conducted with the athletes showed that around60 per cent of them stayed overnight away from home duringthe Games, with 39 per cent of them using a Richmond hotelfor accommodation.

The City of Richmond then calculated the expenditure andeconomic impact to the city by using an “industry standard”economic impact model called STEAM.

Before the Games, the city invested $50,000 in cash andanother $45,000 in in-kind support of the event.

The estimated return to the city is around 15 times the out-lay. It’s the kind of return that, according to Lamond, justifiesthe city’s and the local sports community’s push to host majorsporting events in Richmond.

“The economic benefit to the city from a big tournamentcan be incredible, we’ve been saying that for years,” saidLamond, who last week was at city hall to accept, on behalfof the Games society, a $24,000 cheque from the province’sSports Legacy Fund.

“Even this summer, Richmond hosted tournaments wherehundreds of people came into the city just for the day. Butthey will be using the city’s restaurants when they come.”

Lamond said the city’s desire to attract major sportingevents has been helped by its investment in facilities.

“We’re actually looking to bring more major tournamentsto Richmond, such as a gymnastic one, which I would hopecould be hosted at the oval,” he said.

“For years, the city’s facilities were falling apart. Now wehave Hugh Boyd and Minoru. And people have been goingaway this summer saying that they can’t believe how wonder-ful our facilities are.”

Lamond added that the $24,000 will go toward starting alegacy fund for the city’s 55-plus athletes to help them withtraveling expenses to compete in future Seniors Games.

News

The land was removedfrom the Agricultural LandReserve years ago, with theintention of creating a newagricultural-industrial zone,but that never happened.Many of the properties stillhave an agricultural zoning.

Now, after Quadra andVirdi Pacific’s success inrezoning their land, Stevesfully expects the neighbour-ing businesses to follow suit,whether their operations arerelated to agriculture or not.

“There’s a block of threeor four businesses downthere that are in a similarposition to (Quadra andVirdi Pacific),” Stevesadded.

“Once this one’sapproved, as expected, thenall the rest will be approvedand, by voting against thislatest one, I wanted to senda message to them that I’magainst it.”

At last week’s planningcommittee meeting, Stevessuggested that, if the cabinetmaking firm must move toRiver Road, then it shouldat least build an agriculturalroof on any new buildingconstructed.

“Such roofs have to bebuilt sturdy enough to beable to put soil down andgrow crops or be able tohold a large greenhouse,” hesaid.

“There’s a building like italready in Steveston, I thinkthe owner is putting a green-house on top of that. So itcan be done.”

The News reported earlierthis year how the city hadbeen turning a blind eye toillegal operations on RiverRoad for years.

But increased complaintsabout them forced the city tocrack down by handing outfines for violating zoningand weight restrictions ontrucks using the road.

After the city crackeddown on the illegal opera-tions, several property own-ers did put in a block rezon-ing proposal.

But according to the city,they failed to live up to allthe requirements, like doingproper soil tests, so the pro-posal was dropped. Some,like Quadra and Virdi,proceeded on an individualbasis.

Hospital reno reaches first milestone


Renovations are completeon two projects at RichmondHospital’s ambulatory careand sterile processing depart-ments.

The improvements arepart of a $10-million pro-vincial funding package thatalso includes renovationsto the hospital’s emergencydepartment.

The $2.9 million expan-sion of the hospital’s ambu-latory care departmentincludes a new minor proce-dures room and expansion ofthe endoscopy area, where

internal scoping proceduresare done. Procedures done inthis new room require localinstead of general anestheticas in the operating room.Availability of the new minorprocedures room, accord-ing to the hospital, will freeup operating room time forpatients requiring sedationand major surgery.

The $2.4 million ster-ile processing departmentexpansion will result in morespace for the sterilization/decontamination, packag-ing and storage of surgical

equipment and supplies.The $4.9 million emer-

gency department renova-tions at the hospital areongoing, and will completein spring 2011.

The two outdoor courtswere recently installed atSouth Arm CommunityCentre and are not tra-ditional asphalt courts— they are made of glass

The second degree murder trial of a 26-year-old Richmond man accused of stab-bing another young man to death near a busstop two years ago is getting under way in aVancouver courtroom.

Joshua David Berner is accused of sec-ond-degree murder in the death of BenjaminWarland, 23, who was stabbed to death in theearly hours of Feb. 1, 2009 near Cambie andDallyn roads.

The trial is currently in voir dire stage, inwhich evidence is reviewed in the absence ofa jury to determine what can and cannot beentered as evidence. That evidence is coveredby a publication ban and cannot be reportedon.

The jury is expected to begin sittingThursday. The trial is scheduled to last 20days. Berner was one of two young men ini-tially arrested, but Berner was the only one

charged with Warland’s death.Warland was stabbed shortly after mid-

night on Feb. 1, 2009 on Cambie Road.According to police reports at the time,

the two young men may not have even knowneach other. Police said it appeared the stab-bing followed an altercation the two youngmen had reportedly had on a 410 bus earlierthat evening. Warland was a father with atwo-year-old son.

Absent in court Monday morning wasBerner’s mother, Carol Berner, the 57-year-old Delta woman found guilty in an impaireddriving case that claimed the life of four-year-old Alexa Middelaer in Delta May 17,2008.

That case attracted significant mediaattention due, in part, to the fact policeresorted to an undercover sting operation toextract a confession that helped convict her.

Carol Berner was found guilty on fourcounts in July and is to be sentenced on Nov.8.

Dear Friend,

Heating season is fast approaching and soon our phonewill be ringing off the hook. Unfortunately our dreadedfour week “shoulder season” that precedes our normalhigh season is also about to arrive. This time of yearcan be a killer to our staff as it isn’t hot enough forair conditioning calls or cold enough for heating calls. Idon’t want my highly skilled technicians waiting for the weather to break so I ammaking this bold offer.

With every new complete heat pump / furnace system we install untilSeptember 25, 2010 we will give the furnace for free!

All of these systems come with our ten-year parts and labour warranty, that meansno repair costs for you until 2020!

Now this special offer can’t last forever, when the cooler weather comes we will besimply too busy to consider a special like this. This sale must end on September 25,2010!

HURRY, CALL 946-1000 TODAY, THE FIRST 25 SYSTEMS SOLD WILL RECEIVE AFREE WIRELESS THERMOSTAT VALUED AT $ 495.00

OpinionT H E R I C H M O N D N E W S

EDITORIAL OPINION

Voters of British Columbia will have a chance to decidefor themselves what should be done about the HST. Buttheir decision will have no more weight than a strong

suggestion.A special committee comprised of 10 MLAs — six from the

government side of the legislature and four from the opposition– has voted to take the Harmonized Sales Tax to a non-bindingreferendum a little more than a year from now.

Not surprisingly, since the committee’s make-up was domi-nated by BC Liberals, the decision is the most favourable out-come for Premier Gordon Campbell and his government.

It’s also no surprise that the NDP members of the committeewanted to send Bill Vander Zalm’s anti-HST bill – the result ofhis successful citizen’s initiative — directly to the legislature, tobe put to a binding and conclusive vote.

Scheduling a referendum for Sept. 24 of next year accom-plishes two things for the beleaguered Liberal government andits leader.

Surely, they are hoping that a full year will allow angryBritish Columbians — whipped to a frenzy by the anti-HSTcampaign — to forget what they hate about the HST, while(they surely hope) the economy recovers enough for riled vot-ers to calm down. It will also give the government some timeto marshal its forces, and offer the explanations it should haveoffered long ago.

The referendum approach also favours the Liberals in that itis non-binding. Even if voters vote overwhelmingly to quash theHST, the government is not obliged to listen, anymore than ithas listened to ordinary citizens on this issue thus far.

On the other hand, the obvious stall could just rile voterseven more.

It didn’t get nearly thekind of sustained newscoverage it deserved, butthe report by B.C. audi-tor-general John Doyle onthe state of the province’sAgriculture Land Reserveshould be cause for con-cern.

Doyle raised two keyissues that have the poten-tial of seriously threateningthe ALR’s future viabilityand value.

First, he notes the bud-get for the AgricultureLand Commission hasdramatically declined inrecent years, thus impairingthe commission’s ability toensure preservation of landand monitoring complianceof regulations.

Second, he notes thatwhile the total amount ofland in the reserve hasremained relatively stableover the years, a significantamount of prime farmlandhas been taken out whileless-valuable land in thenorth has been added.

At a time when ensur-ing an ongoing food sup-ply becomes more andmore important (as climatechange begins to alter agri-culture practices aroundthe world) it is critical thatB.C.’s lush and preciousfarmland be protected.

Doyle, who is quicklyearning a reputation as ano-nonsense, independentwatchdog of government,points out the annual bud-get for the commissionhas shrunk from almost $3million at the beginningof this government’s firstterm to barely more than $2million. That’s a cut of one-

third and it has led to fewerstaff and resources, whichmakes ongoing preserva-tion of farmland that muchharder to accomplish.

Meanwhile, the loss ofprime farmland is evenmore worrisome. Since theALR’s creation, VancouverIsland has lost 13 per centof its prime farmland, whilethe Okanagan has lost 12per cent and the LowerMainland (primarily theFraser Valley) has lost eightper cent.

The development pres-sures that come with popu-lation growth are mostly toblame for the loss of goodfarmland. When the ALRwas first established, forexample, places such asSurrey, Delta and Langleywere barely populatedcompared to the number ofpeople who live there now.

Whole farms have beenreplaced by huge subdivi-sions and highway projects.(I remember a large sheepand vegetable farm beingdirectly across the roadfrom my grandparents’home on Saltspring Island;a parking lot, tennis courtsand a soccer field are therenow.)

Some of the land usefights have been memora-ble: the Spetifore Lands inDelta, Fantasy Gardens andTerra Nova in Richmond

and Colony Farms inCoquitlam all created a lotof headlines over the years.

The picture is notentirely gloomy, however.Agriculture Minister SteveThomson seems to get theidea that more has to bedone to protect the ALR.

Thomson, who comesfrom a farming family, isa former executive direc-tor of the B.C. AgricultureCouncil and he hasemerged as one of thesteadiest hands in the B.C.Liberal government.

He has asked the newchair of the ALC, RichardBullock, to tour the prov-ince and meet with agri-culture groups and otherstakeholders to get a senseof the challenges faced bythe ALC.

Bullock is supposed tofile a report in October.Hopefully, what he discov-ers on his fact-finding tourwill spur the B.C. govern-ment to not only restore thefunding to the ALC, butto take steps to stop primefarmland from being turnedinto blacktop.

Now, there’s no questionmore housing and transpor-tation networks will have tobe built in the years ahead.And it’s more than likelythat some ALR land willform part of future treatieswith First Nations bands.

But Doyle’s report is atimely reminder that pro-tecting our food supplyshould be of paramountimportance.

The Editor,Re: “Festival budget triples” the News, Sept. 10, 2010.

As bad as the Onni proposal to build two highrise towersin Steveston is – and it is terrible – the proposal being put for-ward by City of Richmond staff to place pontoons, which couldremain in place year-round in the ocean off Garry Point Parkfor the Tall Ships festival, is worse — if that is possible.

Garry Point Park is perfect as it is, with its natural setting,unimpeded views of the Strait of Georgia and the islands, andsunsets that must rank among the most beautiful in the world.I, for one, do not want to see the beauty of Garry Point lost to aforest of masts and luxury yachts, anymore than I want to haveGarry Point transformed into Coal Harbour South.

Just like the Onni two-tower proposal, placing ship piersoff Garry Point would change the nature and character ofSteveston, and irrevocably harm the heritage values that makethis community so special.

Moreover, city council proposes to do this with no publichearing or input, just as it intends to put $6 million in city fundsat risk to hold a Tall Ships festival without having consulted thepeople of Richmond on whether we feel this is an appropriateuse of tax-payers’ money.

Perhaps it’s time to determine if the provincial recall legisla-tion applies to city councillors. If either of these proposals goesahead, I intend to do so.

The Editor,When two Onni represen-

tatives at the Sept. 9 openhouse were asked separately,what on Earth had possessedthem to come up with thetwo towers proposal, bothtold me that Onni had been“encouraged by the city” topropose the towers. Really?

Are our councillors thatout of touch with their con-stituents?

Most of the city council-lors quoted in the RichmondNews since the proposal was

made seem to be under theimpression that the major-ity of the opposition comesfrom people who don’t wantany more housing being builtin their neighbourhood andexpect the city to buy theland for a park.

That’s not the case and wewon’t let them dismiss theopposition so easily.

It’s time for both Onniand our city councillors tostop pretending that there areonly the two options put for-ward at the open house.

The mixed maritimeoption has Onni constructingsix buildings that give themhalf commercial space thatthey won’t be able to sell orrent and half housing thatwill be worth a fortune.

So they are stuck withvery high initial constructioncost and ongoing mainte-nance cost of the commercialspace in order to get housingunits they can sell.

If they are, instead,allowed to build three build-ings that are all housing,

they get the same number ofhousing units at half the con-struction cost and no ongo-ing maintenance cost.

They save millions with-out getting permission tomake millions more by con-structing 200 units.

Onni would end up withthree low-rise buildings.In return, they build a parkon the remaining land anddonate it to the city.

John RostonRichmond

There are more than two options for OnniDEVELOPMENT

The Editor,While I appreciate

the fact that sustainablegrowth requires a cer-tain amount of density,limiting the scope ofdevelopment to twopurely residential tow-ers at the far end (andleaving the rest for thecity to deal with) seemsto be a cop-out solu-tion, counter-intuitiveto promises of a “com-plete” community.

Building a parkjust a few blocks fromGarry Point Park is apoor use of the land,especially consideringthe potential that thelocation has for a livelywaterfront promenadewith restaurant patios.

I’d rather see adenser version of theoriginal scheme: 3-5storeys with terraces,in exchange for a half-acred donation to be

used as a public build-ing or pocket park.

A contrived neigh-bourhood character ismeaningless; lose themaritime designation,and the retail or restau-rant spaces will fill upin no time.

Let’s have somethingmore original than theold highrise/townhousepodium model.

Martin ChowRichmond

Let’s get original with waterfront

The Editor,Re: “Coun. Steves backs two-tower

Onni plan,” News, Sept. 3.Mr. Steves is very smug in saying that

city council should allow two highrisebuildings to be built in Steveston.

How convenient that his home iswest of No. 1 Road. Not only has he lostthe plot after fighting for years to keepSteveston the fishing village it’s meant tobe, he’s also given up fighting for what’sright!

Your BC Lions — In Their Own Words

Wide ReceiverImport

Emmanuel Arceneaux - 84

Height: 6.02 | Weight: 211Born: September 17, 1987,

Alexandria, Louisiana

College: Alcorn StateYears: 2 BC / 2 CFL

I’m from the south – I was born and raised in Alexandria, Louisiana.As a guy who has always been pretty athletic, I began playing football in highschool and also ran track. In fact, I did so well at that level that I was named anall-district wide receiver and free safety and was also an honourable mentionplace kicker in my senior year.

When I graduated from high school, I decided that attending college at Mississippi’sAlcorn State University would give me the best opportunity to get a post-secondary education while realizing my dream to play football at the next level.After four years with the Braves, I seized the opportunity to head north toCanada to join the Lions as a rookie guy in their receiving corps. I had a greattime in my first season which motivated me to train even harder when I wentback home during the winter months, in addition to working as a substitute

teacher and track coach at my former high school while mentoring local kids aspart of Alexandria’s Boys and Girls Club.

Now that I’m in my second season, I still can’t believe that I get to come to work every day to playthe game I love. Nothing would make me happier than to win a championship with this team. Winor lose, the guys in our locker room are a close group and I’m proud of our accomplishments on and off the field.As a kid who dreamed of being a professional athlete from a young age, I know what it’s like to look to others for inspiration. For that reason, I love taking

part in the Lions’ community efforts during the season, particularly the club’s annual Timbits Camp. I feel proud knowing that I could be teachingfootball basics and the importance of being active to a young kid who one day could use his or her athletic ability to secure a university scholarship

and a bright future.As a guy who comes from a small town, I know that it’s up to the local community to invest in their kids in order to ensure they succeed in life.

This Sunday, Richmond’sJim Munk will lace up hisrunners and run for his fatherand his wife’s uncle — bothof whom died of cancer intheir fifties.

“Dad died from lung can-cer at 55. Because of moneyraised for cancer researchthrough the Terry Fox Runand the advancements madein treating cancer, perhapsmy father, if he were alivetoday, might have had moretime,” said Munk.

There are also connec-tions to Terry Fox that com-pelled Munk to get involvedseven years ago.

“My mother worked atthe clinic where Terry wassent for cancer treatment andTerry and I had the samedoctor growing up.”

All of those reasons, aswell as the excellent carehis family members havereceived while fighting can-cer, have made Munk, hiswife Puri and three childrenrun in the yearly Terry FoxRun.

This year marks the 30thanniversary of Terry’s leg-endary Marathon of Hope.

“I recently had an auntdiagnosed with breast cancerand because of early detec-tion and the therapies, shedidn’t have to go throughpainful cancer treatments,”said Munk, who is a teacherin Vancouver and organizesthe school’s yearly Terry FoxRun.

“We are closer to real-izing Terry’s dream becausehis run brings awareness andadvancement in treatments.”

Sunday morning, Munk,Puri, daughter Elena, 11,and sons Matthew, 14, andMichael, 10 will don T-shirts and shorts and showtheir support for a man theyrespect immensely.

“He was truly someone tolook up to,” added Munk.

John Young, Richmond’sTerry Fox Run chair, saidmany Richmondites comeout each year to support therun for the same reasonsMunk does.

“I hear all the time fromparticipants that they are run-ning in memory of a lovedone, who either died or hasfought cancer,” he said.

“Last year, we raised$15,000 in Richmond alone,”said Young. “In Canada, overthe last 30 years, more than$500 million has been raised.

“We had our best showingever last year with 650 par-ticipants and we hope to haveeven more people come out

this Sunday.”To commemorate this

meaningful milestone, MayorMalcolm Brodie proclaimedSept. 12 to 19 as Terry FoxWeek.

Meanwhile, after the run,there will be plenty of fam-ily fun.

“We will have theJapanese drummers — TaraTaiko Drummers — the195 Bicknell Branch Navy

Cadet band, bagpiper NoelChalmers and the McNaircheerleaders,” said Young.“We will also have TerryFox tattoos for the kids andhealthy snacks for all.”

This fun, noncompeti-tive run raises much neededmoney for cancer research.To that end, you can alsopurchase commemorative30th anniversary T-shirts andsweatshirts, with all proceeds

going to the foundation.Lace up your runners for

the 30th Annual RichmondTerry Fox Run this Sunday,Sept. 19 at 10 a.m. at GarryPoint Park. Registration is bydonation between 9 and 10a.m. There will be a 5 km.,10 km. and one km familycourse. For more informationor to volunteer, visit www.terryfoxrun.org or [email protected].

The University of Victoriabunny rescue effort is almostubiquitous.

This issue has received alot of press for a number ofreasons: the damage causedby the rabbits, the inhumanetreatment caused by trap-ping during breeding season,and the amount of resourcesspent by the university whilemaking no progress in deal-ing with the animals.

However, following acourt decision to allow thetrapping and relocation of

thousands ofrabbits fromthe UVic cam-pus, rescuersare scramblingto find a wayto make thathappen andsolve UVic’srabbit problem.

So, in the spirit of back-to-school, here is a wordproblem for those new fresh-men at UVic; Say you have700 bunnies living on cam-pus that are the offspring ofabandoned pets, and say theyare eating all your landscap-ing and digging holes in thelawns.

One day, you decide theymust be shipped off some-where else, and a sanctuaryin Texas offers to take someof them (others will stay onVancouver Island.)

If you can trap approxi-mately 30 rabbits per trip,make a stop in Richmond tohave them spayed and neu-tered and head down south toTexas, how long will it takefor all the rabbits to reachthe Wild Rose Rescue Ranchand how much will it cost?”

If I werefaced withthis questionon an exam,I would failRabbit Rescue101, whichis hopefullya required

course at UVic by now.As with so many real-

world problems, we need alittle more information.

First, it takes a few daysfor UVic staff to trap therabbits and three or fourdays for the little guys to getfixed by the veterinary inRichmond.

The rabbits are thentransported across the borderto Washington so they areout of the country withinthe seven-day time periodset by the Ministry of theEnvironment who appar-ently “digs” getting into thenitty-gritty of abandoned pet-bunny management.

The drive to Wild RoseRescue Ranch is 3,869km, and the truck fromWashington State to Texascomes up infrequently. Theanswer: it will take about

five to six months to movethe rabbits (if all goes well),but the Ministry has givenTRACS for Texas-boundBunnies until roughly theend of November to get thejob done or the rabbits willbe killed by the university.

TRACS for Texas-boundBunnies is an ad hoc orga-nization which includesThe Responsible AnimalCare Society (TRACS) inWestbank, B.C.

They are one of manyorganizations working onthe UVic rabbit rescue, butTRACS is transporting andspaying/neutering the 700Texas-bound rabbits.

And with only threemonths, instead of sixmonths to implement thisbunny road trip, TRACSneeds our help to speedthings along.

While a generousdonation from FurBearerDefenders is paying for someof the costs, volunteers areneeded to help drive the bun-nies across the border andassist with the post spay/neu-ter surgery recovery

tions of rabbit pellets, bales of hay, freshproduce, animal carriers, water bottlesand gas cards to pay for the transportationcosts.

TRACS has also made a special plea toresidents of local farms to provide a tem-porary resting area where the rabbits cansafely await transport to the States.

Furthermore, volunteers are needed tohold fundraisers for this three-month res-

cue effort, and this is a great opportunity toget involved in helping animals for a shortperiod of time.

With your help, the UVic rabbits will bespeaking with a Texas accent by Christmastime – a much better future than theirimpending doom at UVic.

Richmond teens David Cohen, QuinnCartwright and Jonathan Hers beat outmore than a hundred adolescents from

across the Lower Mainland to snag lead rolesin 13 The Musical, which opened last week-end at the Vancouver’s 2010 InternationalFringe Festival.

“I couldn’t think of a better way to spendmy summer than rehearsing for six to eighthours a day for this theatre production,” saidan incredibly poised 16-year-old Cartwright.

The music and lyrics for 13: The Musical,which debuted on Broadway in 2008, waspenned by Tony-award winning Jason RobertBrown — from the book by Dan Elish andRobert Horn. It tells the story of a nerdyNew York teenager, Evan Goldman, who getsuprooted from his home just prior to his BarMitzvah to small town Appleton, Indiana. It’sall about trying to fit in during those awk-ward teen years and all the angst and dramathat go with it.

The production is put on by AwkwardStage Productions Society, newly-formednonprofit youth theatre troupe which pro-vides real life, professional performance andproduction opportunities for the industry’supcoming, rising stars.

Cartwright, a McNair Grade 11 student,plays Kendra, the pretty stereotypical cheer-leader who all the guys want.

“She is so much fun to portray,” saidCartwright, who has performed in manyschool plays. “She’s a little bit of a ditz, anairhead, but she’s cute and sweet.”

When Cartwright was invited to auditionfor the musical she thought she might have achance at Patrice, the nerd, but was thrilled tolearn she snagged a coveted lead role.

“We went through five weeks of rehears-als and it was the most amazing experienceever,” she said. “To get to spend six hours aday with people my age who love musicaltheatre as much as I do was exciting … weall had a passion for what we were doing.”

The company hopes to bridge the gapbetween school theatre productions and aprofessional career in the industry by givingteenagers a chance to obtain invaluable train-ing in the field, said Cara Tench, AwkwardStage’s co-founding artistic associate and vicepresident of communications.

“No matter how much training one under-takes, it’s next to impossible to launch acareer in any field unless some professionalexperience is gained first,” said Tench. “Wewanted to create a company that would lend

to youth opportunities, between the trainingthat they do, whether that’s in high school orother post-secondary education, and a profes-sional career in theatre.”

Sixteen-year-old Cohen was equallythrilled to learn he was cast in the role ofBrett, the popular, albeit, manipulative andantagonistic jock.

The Grade 11 McMath student onlylearned about the auditions a few days beforethey closed.

“I went to the audition and sang MichaelBuble’s Haven’t Met You Yet and was askedto return for a callback,” said Cohen, who is

also part of ShowStoppers, a youth musicaltheatre group. “I ran through a scene, hop-ing for the best, and I later found out I got it… even though I was going to miss the firsttwo weeks of rehearsals because of a familyholiday.”

His character, David said, is not a niceguy. Brett vies for Kendra, knowing full wellthat Evan is smitten by her.

“This is super awesome, they aren’t manyprofessional plays that want or need teenag-ers,” Cohen said.

Hers, 16, smiles as he tells of how he wascast as the handicapped Archie.

“I have been at Arts Umbrella (a perform-ing arts institute in Granville Island) for a fewyears and my director there told me about theauditions and told me I should try out,” saidHers, also a Grade 11 McMath student. “Iwent and I was chosen for the junior part ofArchie, who is 13 in the play.”

Archie suffers from MS (MultipleSclerosis) and needs crutches to get around.However, Archie, who is blessed with confi-dence, has a mad crush on Kendra and goesafter her.

“Archie is also very sneaky but gregari-ous,” added Hers. “He uses his disadvantageto his advantage.”

For Hers, learning to walk with crutchesand making it look convincing was the tough-est part of portraying Archie.

However, Hers thinks he’s got it down pat.For Cartwright, the hardest challenge was

the heavy rock pop score.“I’m a classically trained soprano so I had

to develop an edgier range to my voice,” shesaid. “This has been a wonderful chance forme to broaden my acting and voice skills.”

For Cohen, coming in two weeks intorehearsals posed some challenge.

“I didn’t know anyone but these two so itwas super important for me to manage mytime properly,” Cohen said, adding he memo-rized his lines while on vacation.

All three agree the energy, the uplift-ing music and the funny lyrics are some ofthe reasons they love being part of 13: TheMusical.

“Also, it is so well written and everyoneinvolved is terrific,” said Hers.

Towards the end of rehearsals, the localteens had an opportunity to meet co-play-wright Robert Horn.

“He was in Vancouver and came to watchrehearsals,” said Cartwright.

“This is a guy who saw the musical onBroadway and here he is watching us … wewere a little nervous,” said Cohen, while Hersnodded his head in agreement.

“He told the director that he really enjoyedour performances and told us we could e-mailhim anytime with any question we wanted,”added Hers. “It was pretty cool.”

Richmond skated to an 8-2 home ice victory over thePanthers last Thursday then, two nights later, blanked theWolf Pack 6-0 in Squamish.

Second-year forward Jake Roder looks poised to have abreakthrough season, producing six points in the two wins,including a hat trick against Port Moody.

The hosts led 3-1 in the second period when Rodernotched his second of the night in the final minute of play.

That seemed toset the stage forthe floodgates toopen in the thirdas Richmondadded four moregoals to chasestarter JordanMarling.

RookiesSam Chichakand RudiThorsteinsoneach added apair of goals,while JeremyHamaguchihad the other.

Mitchell Smith was prominent in a play making role withfour assists.

In Squamish, the Sockeyes took control with secondperiod goals by Clayton Wright, Sebastien Pare and PatrickHunter to open up a 5-0 lead. Pare finished the night witha pair to earn first star honours. Hamaguchi and and Roderrounded out the scoring.

Rookie Devin Nijjer, who last season played at the majormidget level with the Greater Vancouver Canadians, turnedaside 22 shots to earn the shutout and his second straightwin.

The Sockeyes return to action Thursday when theAbbotsford Pilots visit Minoru Arena at 7:30 p.m.

Richmond’s Nathan Hirayama is amongsix B.C. athletes named to the CanadianMen’s Rugby Sevens team that will be com-peting at the 2010 Commonwealth Games inDehli India, next month.

The former McRoberts standout helpedCanada capture the Bowl Championship(consolation final) at the Hong KongTournament back in March.

Canada will be up against rugby pow-ers like three-time defending gold medalistAll Blacks from New Zealand, along withperennial medal threats from England,Australia, Fiji and South Africa amongst the16-team tournament.

“I know that the Rugby Sevens tourna-ment in Delhi will be one of the hottestspectator draws of these Games,” saidMartha Deacon, Canada’s Chef de Mission.

“It’s a great test for our talented Canadiansquad.”

Head Coach, Geraint John, says the intro-duction of Rugby Sevens into the Olympicprogram in 2016 has brought renewedenergy to this fast-paced brand of rugby. Heexpects the Canadian squad to show well onthe Commonwealth Games stage where somany top teams are competing.

“Six of the seven players who startedfor us in the Bowl Championship (consola-tion final) at the Hong Kong Tournament inMarch will be with us in Delhi. We won thatfinal over Wales and we’ll be carrying thatmomentum into the Commonwealth Gamesnext month.”

The player selection was based on thepositive results created by the players overthe course of five events.

Hirayama named to 7s team

“Knowing that the culture of Richmond

loves to play hoops, we will be catering toall levels of ability,” said league organizerMark Starkey. “We wanted to expand tohost more courts so we could accommo-date division one and division two levelathletes. With our old location we couldn’toffer more court time.

WORKING & TRAININGTrades Enjoy New Popularity Among Job Seekers

With the number of apprentices expected todouble in the next year, Kent Orrock believeswe’re seeing the first steps of a renewed respectfor the trades. He now entertains several phonecalls a day regarding applications to apprentice-ship programs and inquiries about how to getinvolved in this steadilygrowing industry.

Mr. Orrick, the humanresources co-ordinatorfor the British ColumbiaRoad Builders and HeavyConstruction Associationwelcomes the interest.“It can only help recruit-ment efforts when it becomes a point of pride forparents to have a son or daughter who is a ‘dozeroperator, pulling down as much as $42 an hour.”

After decades of fighting negative perceptionsabout the boom-and-bust nature of employment

and the hard work in construction and otherheavy-industry sectors, there has been a steadyincrease of interest in a career in the trades.“They’re getting in at a time when they will defi-nitely be able to [work until they] retire in thisindustry,” says Orrock.

The federal government hasrecently proposed tax incen-tives for employers who takeon apprentices, and grants forindividuals who sign on forskilled trades training. Sight-ing a serious shortage of tradespeople, the federal governmentis now attempting to make the

lucrative trade industry even more enticing toprospective employees.

“The difficulty Canadian employers are havingfinding skilled tradespeople is becoming an im-pediment to economic growth,” the governmentsaid in its budget documents. “Meanwhile, manyyoung Canadians find themselves in low-payingwork, and are either not encouraged to considerthe trades or are unable to do so because of finan-cial barriers.”With measures to give employerstax credits of up to $2,000 a year for the first twoyears that they employ and train eligible appren-tices, and as well as cash grants of $1,000 a yearto eligible apprentices in the first two years oftheir training, the federal government is steppingup the push for more Canadians to consider acareer in the trades.

The federal government projects that nearly

continued on page24

100,000 apprentice workers will benefit as aresult of the new grant and tax credit. Industryassociations and community colleges have alsostepped up their efforts to recruit and train thenext generation of trades people.In past years,there has been a strong amount of pressure fromteachers, parents and friends to go to university.Opportunities in the trades have often beenoverlooked. This is gradually changing, in partbecause of industry association campaigns andpromising labour market projections.

The common misconception that the impend-ing retirement of baby boomers will open upjobs in all fields, across all sectors, is slowly beingreplaced by a better understanding of how theboomers’ withdrawl from the marketplace willshape the next few years. “The reality is that themost pronounced [recruitment] challenges aregoing to be for skilled trades and apprenticeshipson the one hand, and executive managementtalent on the other,” says Ian Cullwick, nationalhuman capital practice leader with Toronto-based managing consulting firm Deloitte.With trade shortages already affecting somesectors, employers are taking a more active rolein the training and education of their futureemployees. The B. C. Road Builders and HeavyIndustry Association, for example, has developedand launched a new program combining class-room training with on-the-job instruction tosupport a number of highway and port-buildingmega-projects currently in the works. The firststage of the program, which is being paid for byindustry, is designed to teach the basics of roadbuilding and heavy construction.

“The aim is to give them a really good essentialknowledge about the equipment that’s going tobe used and how to maintain that equipment,”

“The difficultyCanadian employers are

having finding skilledtradespeople is becoming

an impediment toeconomic growth.”

he says. “They’ll also be taught the basics of civilengineering, so they’ll know about grades, aggre-gates and environmental issues.” Says Orrock.

From there students can move on to apprentice-ships in asphalt paving or specialized constructionjobs. It gives them a starting point to continueworking with heavy equipment like backhoes,excavators, bulldozers, graders and 50-ton trucks,or work.

Mr. Orrock says that members of his associationare committed to providing management training,in addition to hard-skills training, for those inter-ested in moving into supervisory and managementpositions later in their careers.Meanwhile, Mr. Or-rock describes his ideal candidates. “We’re lookingfor people who like to work outside and who don’twant to sit in an office.” If this sounds like you,we’ve made your search that much easier.

Given the incredible (and growing) demand forqualified tradespeople in Canada and aroundthe world, Trades has become the hottest area intraining at colleges and career colleges across thecountry.

Health care jobs on the rise

Have a caring and compassionate attitude? Strong emotional re-solve? Great patience? A sense of professionalism? Consider a careeras a Health Care Assistant (HCA).

Graduates of a Health Care Assistant Certificate Program are pre-pared to work in Extended and Intermediate Care Facilities, HomeSupport Agencies, Adult Day Care Centers, and Assisted Livingresidences. While the majority of program graduates provide care forseniors, many programs prepare you to care for adults with a widevariety of chronic health conditions.

To meet the needs of our aging population, healthregions across BC are opening thousands of new resi-dential and assisted living units; the staffing needs forHealth Care Assistants have never been greater. This isan excellent time to consider training and employmentin this rewarding field as opportunities abound.

As a Health Care Assistant, you’ll be working with elder-ly people who will depend on you for quality daily care, encourage-ment, and support. Your challenge will be to foster and maintain theclient’s independence and trust. You will be looking after peoplewho have diminished abilities for self-care. Their friends and familiesmust feel that they can trust you to look after their loved ones.

Workplaces include care facilities, hospices, and evenseniors’ private homes. You’ll need to develop skills in offering

personal care, assisting with mobility, understanding basicanatomy and physiology, developing good communication skills,and caring for a person with dementia.

Working with the elderly may also involve palliative care, whichemphasizes easing the person’s pain, enhancing their quality of life,and supporting their family.

While working in a care home, you will need to follow instruc-tions from directors of care, registered nurses, and staff. You’ll also be

required to make observations and to note problems.Listening and communicating with healthcare profes-sionals and residents are key abilities.

A s a H e a l t h C a r e Assistant, you could findemployment in a: Extended, intermediate, or as-sisted living care facility; Home support agency;Hospice; Adult care centre for seniors; Private

home. You may choose to be self-employed, working indepen-dently as a personal care attendant.
