Galleria paint palettegets splash of green

A doomed art gallery has been saved from the axe at theeleventh hour.

The Artisans’ Galleria on Moncton Street in Steveston hadalready closed its doors, citing the cuts in provincial art fund-ing as the main reason for its demise.

However, as staff and volunteers were busy selling off orpacking up the remaining fixtures and fittings, they receiveda surprising phone call. On the other end was a business-woman who had read about the Galleria’s plight in the Newsand offered to take the matter to her philanthropic employers,Gary and Terry McPhail, who are owners of real estate man-agement company, The McPhail Group.

“We were feeling very sad and dejected when we receiveda surprising call,” said Margaret Stephens, treasurer for theCommunity Arts Council of Richmond (CACR).

“It seems that a creative and energetic businesswoman,who was able to think ‘outside the box’ saw two articles in themedia about the upcoming closure … and decided to take theproblem to her employers. In a show of support for the com-munity and the arts, Gary and Terry McPhail have come for-ward to support us. We are so appreciative of their assistanceand excited to share this wonderful news that, rather than hav-ing to close, we will now be moving!”

Trial into stabbing death of young father begins

Artist store given financial reprieve

Benjamin Warland lay motion-less in a pool of his own blood, hiseyes wide open and glazed over ashe took his dying breaths, a courtheard this week.

Warland’s desperately fadingcondition was described Mondayat the BC Supreme Court byConst. Claudio Maurizio — thefirst police officer on the scene ofthe alleged stabbing death of theyoung father in Richmond in theearly hours of Feb. 1, 2009.

“I could see he had sufferedsome kind of head trauma as therewas a large pool of blood next tohis head,” Maurizio told the court.

“The victim had his eyes openand I could see they were glazedand he was gasping for air.

“I’ve seen people die in frontof me before, and I could see thathis gasps for air were not gettinganywhere.”

The officer told how Warland,23, was also unresponsive to his

shouting and he immediatelycalled in emergency medical sup-port. Warland was taken to hospi-tal, but never regained conscious-ness and was pronounced dead.

Crown counsel MichelleBooker, in her opening statementto the jury, told how a pathologistwill give evidence during the trialthat Warland was killed by deepstab wounds to his left temple,which penetrated his skull.

Joshua David Berner, 26, of

Richmond, is accused of sec-ond-degree murder in the deathof Warland. Berner denies thecharge.

Const. Maurizio told the courtthat, in his role as a police doghandler, he was on duty on thenight in question when he hearda dispatch call at around 12:50a.m. of a possible assault victim at11360 Cambie Road, near DallynRoad.

Robbery victim found Pathway to peaceMental health charity helped nurture traumatized man

Rob Milner comes in the office sporting awarm smile and friendly demeanour.

One immediately senses joy and gentlenessfrom this 35-year-old lifelong Richmondite.

It wasn’t always so.Ten years ago, a robbery at knifepoint forever

altered Milner’s life.The News sat with Milner on Monday at

Pathways Clubhouse — a safe and nurturingplace where persons living with mental healthissues can come and feel good about themselves.

“I was robbed by a drug addict at 4:30 p.m. ona spring day while walking to my car after work,”said Milner, who attended McNair high school.“A few days later it triggered my schizophrenia (aserious psychotic disorder in which a person hasan altered sense of reality, causing hallucinationsand delusions.)”

Soon after, Milner bought a pellet gun becausehe believed everyone was after him. His parentsnoticed their son’s strange behaviour and wereable to get him help.

“At the time of the robbery, I had very lowself-esteem and I felt weak, so I didn’t tell thepolice about the incident,” he said. “But then, Isoon started getting delusional, hearing voicesand getting really paranoid, believing everyonewas after me.”

Milner didn’t even trust his best friends, think-ing they were conspiring against him as well.Like many people who go around undiagnosedwith a mental illness, Milner lost it all — girl-friend, apartment and job.

It took years to rebuild his life, through relaps-es, weight gain and many ups and downs.

In 2008 he found Pathways Clubhouse.“My family doctor told me about this place

and what a blessing it is,” said Milner, break-ing into a grin. “Pathways is my family and theymake me happy … Pathways is extremely impor-tant to me.”

Today, Milner is actively involved in manyprograms, as well as volunteering in the kitchenas a baker.

Milner is even considering returning to schoolto study culinary arts at Vancouver CommunityCollege.

“I’m working in the kitchen and learning howto bake and I really love it,” said Milner, whoadded he’s honing his baker’s skills at home aswell.

Milner is only one of many success stories,said Dave MacDonald, Pathways Clubhouse’s

longtime executive director.“Pathways gives clients hope and a belief in

themselves,” said MacDonald.He’s proud of all the members Pathways has

helped over the years. MacDonald is especiallypleased by how far Milner has come in such ashort time.

“Rob was invited to tell his story during aMcDonald’s Canada human resources work-shop for its Western Canada employees,” saidMacDonald. “Rob spoke well and we received

Forty-nine-year-old Joseknows all too well how hardit is to surface from thedespair of mental illness.

However, 30 yearsafter being diagnosed withschizophrenia, the Spanish-born Jose (he has asked thatwe don’t use his last name)is a living testament of onewho not only manages his

disease but helps others suf-fering with mental illness byoffering hope and encour-agement.

For the past decade, theRichmond man has been apeer support worker for theRichmond Mental HealthConsumer and FriendsSociety (RCFC).

The nonprofit organiza-tion was formed in 1995 andfunds the peer support pro-gram and a weekend drop-in

program at Pathways.Jose’s descent into men-

tal illness “hell” came early.The 18-year-old Jose

immigrated to Canadain 1981 from the CanaryIslands, three years after hisfather died.

He believes his schizo-phrenia was triggered byhis father’s death, as well asmoving to a foreign countryand being unable to speakEnglish.

“I started hearing voicesand I remember sittingin my bedroom knowingI needed help,” he said.“When the doctor told mewhat I was suffering from, Ihit rock bottom.”

It took nearly 10 yearsand great doctors to helphim out of the black holehe found himself in. Joseworked hard to live as nor-mal a life as possible

and his positive attitude and winningpersonality caught the attention of hismental health worker.

“In 1999, David Bland (the 62-year-old mental health worker killed by aformer client in 2005) told me I’d beperfect as a peer support worker,” saidJose. “In 2000, I took the eight-weekpeer support worker course and in JuneI had my first client.

“My goal is to empower my clients

by supporting and encouraging them.”Jose spends two hours every week witheach of his clients — he can take onthree clients per six-month period.

When he first meets with each cli-ent, the two sit together and come upwith goals and objectives.

Jose also helps them with theirbanking, socializing and transit needs— just about any daily chore they needassistance with. He credits his workfor making him “an all-around better

person.”“It’s a very rewarding job, and it

makes me feel so good to know that Ican make a difference in someone else’slife … even if I only help one, I willhave done my job.”

Jose tells his success story as abeacon of hope. You can catch JosestrummingP his guitar on Oct. 6 at the5th annual fundraising dinner, BuildingPathways for Hope. For information,visit www.rcfc-society.org.

positive feedback fromMcDonald’s management.”

Last year, Pathways cel-

ebrated its 25th anniversary.The nonprofit organiza-

tion, under the umbrella ofthe Canadian Mental HealthAssociation (CMHA), pro-vides a supportive house,temporary employment, pub-lic education, recreational,vocational and volunteeringprograms.

Pathways has 800 mem-bers on its roster; 300 ofwhom are active members.Each day, 70 to 80 membersstop by to take part in a num-ber of programs and services,including holiday eventssuch camp and the Christmasdance.

“Our wellness program isa year-old now and we offerdaily walks, yoga classes andgym memberships,” addedMacDonald. “This past sum-mer, members took care ofour plot at the Sharing Farmand we were able to use ourproduce in our communitykitchen.

“Our members activelyparticipate in all aspects ofPathways.”

MacDonald came to workat Pathways as a rehabilita-tion counselor a year after itsinception and never left.

“I was only going towork there for the summerand head back east to domy Masters in theology,” hesaid. “I found myself reallyenjoying the interaction withmy clients and feeling like Icould make a difference in

their lives.”Meanwhile, members can

purchase a healthy lunch —offering a number of differ-ent, healthy entrees, salads,soups and desserts — forbetween $2 and $3 a meal.

“The city of Richmondprovides a yearly grant whichsubsidizes our meals for ourmembers,” said MacDonald.

To keep Pathways run-ning well into the future, the5th annual fundraising din-ner, Building Pathways forHope, on October 6 is raisingmuch-needed funds to securea new site for its clubhouse.

“We only have a year anda half left on our lease so wehave to start to plan now forfuture premises,” MacDonaldsaid.

Dr. Robert McKenzie isa huge fan of Pathways andrecommends it to any of hispatients with mental illness.

“Pathways is hugelyimportant because it providesfun, education, advocacy,support and empowerment,”said the Richmond GP. “It’san excellent place for mentalhealth patients to feel part ofthe community.”

That’s why he alsobelieves its crucial for theclubhouse to stay in the citycore.

“Pathways must be in acentral location, you can’tput it out in the boonies… integration is key,” saidMcKenzie. “I’d like to put

it out there to developersto consider building a newclubhouse in their next citycentre development.”

Meanwhile, last year’sdinner/auction raised morethan $18,000. This year’sgoal is $20,000.

During the soiree, aspecial, well-known localpersonality will speak abouthis/her own experience withmental illness.

“I can’t divulge thename, but you will certainlyrecognize the person,” saidMacDonald.

There will also be liveentertainment, a silent auc-tion and the Mental HealthVoices Awards. Also, aPathways member willrecount his own personaljourney towards recovery.

“We are also rafflingoff two tickets to fly any-where West Jet flies,” addedMacDonald.

The CMHA hostsBuilding Pathways for Hopeon Wednesday, Oct. 6 atthe Executive Airport PlazaHotel, 7311 WestminsterHwy. The event starts at 5:30p.m., with dinner at 6 p.m.

Referendum requires less votes than petition: GreensEarlier this year, when

B.C. Finance Minister ColinHansen was traveling arounddefending the HarmonizedSales Tax, he was gettingsome help from formerRichmond-Steveston MLAGeoff Plant.

The former Liberal attor-ney-general put forward legalarguments that former pre-mier Bill Vander Zalm’s peti-tion to repeal the HST askeda legally moot point.

Since the HST is now afederal tax, a petition askingthe provincial government torepeal it was constitutionallyimpossible, he said.

No one in the Liberalgovernment disputed Planton that point, but nowPremier Gordon Campbell isvowing to scrap the tax, if 51per cent of voters decide ina referendum that that’s whatthey want.

“I think the better coursewould have been to take thematter to the legislature toexplain very clearly whyVander Zalm’s bill wasriddled with problems, (and)to force (NDP Leader) CarolJames to decide whether ornot she and her caucus wouldvote for the piece of non-sense which Vander Zalm hasbeen pedaling,” Plant told the

News recently.Liberal MLA Rob

Howard (Richmond-Centre)defends the premier’s deci-sion to go to referendumSept. 24, 2011 because itgives all voters a chanceto have a say on the issue,whereas only 15 per centof registered voters signedVander Zalm’s petition call-ing for the repeal of the tax.

“There’s another 80 percent of the population thathasn’t had their voice heard.So why not get it back out tothe broader public and havethe debate?” he said.

But as the Green Partypoints out, only 22 per centof eligible voters voted in amail-in ballot on the referen-dum on treaty negotiations in2002, meaning only 361,000people voted — far fewerthan have already votedto scrap the HST throughVander Zalm’s petition.

If the HST referendumhad a similar response,it could mean as few as361,000 (out of the poten-tial 3,280,000 voters) coulddecide the outcome. VanderZalm’s petition, on the otherhand, was signed by 700,000voters.

If a majority of voters didvote to repeal the HST, Plant

thinks the provincial govern-ment could have a problemon its hands. Campbellwould have to call Ottawaand ask to “unwind” the tax,and there’s no guarantee thatwould happen.

“What could be a chal-lenge would be if the federalgovernment decided that theywould not agree to tearing upthe HST,” Plant said. “ThenI think you’d have probablya nasty federal-provincialfight. You’d have claims forhundreds of millions — ifnot billions — of dollarsbeing made, but you mightstill have the HST.

“The fact is, the deal isdone, and you can’t alwayscompletely unwind deals likethis.”

Under current legislationrespecting referenda, 51 percent of all registered votersmust approve a referendumquestion, and even then it’snot binding. But Campbellhas promised it will be bind-ing. Moreover, he has alsopromised to accept a simplemajority of 51 per cent ofwhoever bothers to vote — alower threshold than what isrequired under legislation.

Even though that mayincrease the likelihood of theHST being scrapped, which

according to Vander Zalm isa good thing, that’s a promiseCampbell may not be able tokeep, Vander Zalm noted.

“I don’t know how oneperson can selectively pickfrom legislation ... and sayI’ll do this, I’ll do that, but Iwon’t do the other.

“There’s no guarantee thathe will be here in September2011,” he added. “He mightbe kicked out by his party,he might decide to quit ... hecould be hit by a bus.”

Howard agrees withCampbell’s decision to lowerthe bar on the HST question,saying it is “unprecedentedtimes.” But when asked ifhe thinks the bar should bepermanently lowered for allfuture referenda, Howardsaid: “I don’t know that Iwould be prepared to com-ment on that.”

Keeping the HST isn’t theonly fight the Liberals willhave on their hands. VanderZalm’s Fight-HST group islaunching a recall campaignagainst Liberal MLAs theyfeel are likely targets forrecall. Vander Zalm con-firmed Richmond’s threeLiberal MLAs are probablysafe. “Richmond, quite frank-ly, I don’t think they’ll makethe list,” he said.

NewsProsecutor: Crown’s evidence circumstantialWhen he arrived at the

scene 10 minutes later, hewas taken to the victim,

who was lying prostrate onthe lawn, by a passerby whohad found him and called911.

“It was hard to say whathad happened to him, so Idecided not to move him,”the officer said.

“He had one shoe offand one shoe on, and therewas a cell phone lying afew metres away.

“I made a Code 3 dis-patch call, which tells (theemergency services) to gethere as quick as they can.”

Once Warland was in thehands of a medical team,Maurizio told the courthow he and his police dog,Racer, began searchingthe yard of a neighbouringproperty for a human scent.

But despite a lengthysearch of the yard and near-by streets, Maurizio said noevidence could be found.

Booker, prosecuting,told the jury in her open-ing remarks that Warlandwas stabbed to death whilewalking home from a busstop.

“He was just a fewblocks from his front doorwhen his life was cut short,”Booker said.

“You will hear duringthis trial that Mr. Bernercaused Mr. Warland’s deathand that he meant to do it.”

Booker, however, toldthe jury that the Crown’sentire case will be circum-stantial, as none of the 17

Crown witnesses are eye-witnesses.

She described howWarland had spent his lastday alive with his girlfriend,going forlunch,then laterwatchinga hockeygame andsmokingmari-juana at hisgirlfriend’sRichmondhome.

“She later walked him tothe bus stop and he got the410 bus to go home, whileshe went back to her home,”Booker explained.

“But she got a call fromhim asking her to comemeet him, and he asked herto check the bus schedule.

“According to (his girl-friend) Mr. Warland sound-ed normal on the phone.This was the last time shespoke to him.”

Booker then told thejury that they will hear howBerner and friends spentfour hours that same nightdrinking at the Legendssports bar in Richmond and

that they had been watch-ing the Ultimate FightingChampionship (UFC) allnight.

“They left at around 11p.m. andgot the410 busthat Mr.Warlandwasalreadyon,”Bookersaid.

“Theyall (Berner and his friendand Warland) got off at thesame stop on Cambie Road.

“(Berner and hisfriend) caught up with Mr.Warland. He was struck onthe face and went down.”

Booker told the jury thatBerner and his friend werelater stopped by police nearwhere Warland was, unbe-known to the police at thetime, lying dying on a lawn.

Unaware of Warlandlying bleeding on theground, the officers offeredto take Berner and hisfriend home as the friendwas extremely intoxicated,said Booker.

But, according toBooker, as they were speak-ing to the pair, Berner’slandlady appeared and saidshe would walk the accusedhome.

However, Booker toldthe jury that they will hearevidence that the landladynoticed blood on Berner’spants.

“You will hear that shehelped Mr. Berner take hispants off, before washingthem several times,” Bookersaid.

“She was also concernedabout a wound on his legand a friend of hers tookboth of them to the hospi-tal.”

The trial, which isexpected to last sev-eral weeks, before MadamJustice Sandra K. Balancecontinues.

“He was just a fewblocks from his front

door when his lifewas cut short,”

13 wins Pick of the Fringe

The new location for theArtisans’ Galleria — whichshows and sells local art-ists’ work — will be atthe Garden City ShoppingCentre (Garden City andBlundell).

“There is plenty of freeparking and an establishedclient base,” added a delight-ed Stephens.

“We have a great dealof work to do in order totransform this new space, butexpect to be able to open bymid-November.”

Now that the CACR has anew home, Stephens said theorganization is already plan-ning a minimum of six var-ied, free art exhibitions fornext year, pending funding.

“Currently, the centredoes not have a gallery orstore which offers the typeof work that we will stock,”she said.

“We will be applyingfor the City of Richmondgrant again this year, as wellas one from the BC ArtsCouncil and Assembly of BCArts councils. “Hopefully,these applications will bereceived well and we willreceive funding to allow usto put on these exhibitions inour new location.”

Stevens said the passion-ate CACR members haveendured a “very emotional”past few months as its effortsto stay alive appeared to bein vain and the imminent clo-sure drew near.

“As long as angels walkamong us, and continue tocare, we will continue tohave faith in the work thatwe have done and will nowbe able to continue to do forthe residents of Richmondthrough our Artisans’Galleria,” Stephens said.

Unlike some munici-palities, Richmond does notprovide core funding for thearts, although it does have agrants program.

Stephens told the Newsearlier this year how the artscouncil couldn’t afford topay the rent any longer atthe gallery’s Moncton Streetlocation, and that its landlordhad agreed to let the orga-nization break its three-yearlease early and leave.

The News recently showcased threeRichmond teens — David Cohen, QuinnCartwright and Jonathan Hers — whosnagged coveted lead roles in AwkwardStage Productions’ 13: The Musical, whichdebut at the Vancouver 2010 InternationalFringe Festival.

The musical was selected as the Pick ofthe Fringe in the provincial category.

EDITORIAL OPINION

Everyone knows the high price society pays for drunk driv-ing. Deaths and injuries are at the top of the list.

When you see those flashing red and blue lights and ribbonsof yellow police tape surrounding a mass of twisted metal, youknow alcohol or drugs were likely involved. Those crashes sendpeople to hospital, and all too often, they take lives.

Among those injured most recently is a Ridge MeadowsMountie, hit by a suspected impaired driver on the weekend.

In Langley, meanwhile, RCMP officers had their hands fulldealing with serious crashes and hauling drunk drivers off theroad on the same weekend.

Every year, an average of 133 people lose their lives toimpaired drivers in B.C., and thousands are injured.

While we can measure costs like lost working hours, hospi-talization, insurance premiums, and police salaries, the losses forspouses, parents, children, siblings and friends of the dead areincalculable.

The great mystery is that there is still drunk driving. Forthose who do, the B.C. government has put into place the tough-est impaired-driving rules in the country.

If drunk drivers are basically selfish, perhaps this will getthem to sit up and take notice. Drinking and driving in B.C. willnow impact your bank account.

For a .05 per cent blood alcohol concentration, drivers nowface a $200 fine and three-day driving ban. Try explaining thatto your boss on Monday.

Those with more than .08 per cent will face a 90-day ban and$500 fine, and will have to pay to install an ignition interlockdevice. Fines go up for repeat offences.

It’s those longer driving bans that we particularly appreciate.Taking away the vehicle from someone who endangers others onthe roads seems like perfect justice. Emptying their wallet is anice bonus.

Whenever he’s askedthese days about next year’sreferendum on the HST,Premier Gordon Campbellkeeps insisting the vote “isnot about me.”

Well, unfortunately forhis government, it is likelythat for a good chunk of thepublic, the referendum willindeed be as much abouthis leadership as it is aboutthe HST. And therein liesthe biggest challenge of allwhen it comes to Campbelland the B.C. Liberals takingsomething positive out ofthe referendum results.

An Ipsos-Reid onlinepoll last week pegged thenumber of those who wouldvote to scrap the HST at 65per cent, a decline from sev-eral months ago when morethan 80 per cent wanted itgone.

And two key industryspokespeople who werehighly critical of the HSTbefore it was introduced— Ian Tostenson of theB.C. Restaurant and FoodServices Association andCameron Muir of the B.C.Real Estate Association —have also slightly changedtheir tune on the matter inrecent weeks.

Nevertheless, even ifmore than 50 per cent ofthe electorate eventuallyaccepts the HST, it stilldoesn’t solve one of theB.C. Liberal government’sbiggest problems: motivat-ing enough people to actu-ally leave their homes, troopdown to a polling station,and vote in favour of a tax.

Campbell’s game-chang-ing move to accept a 50-per-cent-plus-one result inthe referendum as bindingmakes turnout from both

sides crucial. And it wouldappear that those whoseopposition to the HSTremains firm by next yearwill be more likely to turnout to vote than those whoare ambivalent or evenhave a favourable attitudetowards the tax.

Consider these numbers.There are about three mil-lion voters. In the last elec-tion, a little more than 1.6million people voted andmore than 700,000 peoplesigned the anti-HST peti-tion (although more than140,000 signatures wereruled invalid).

If the turnout for thereferendum is roughly thesame as the one in the lastelection, more than 800,000people would have to leavetheir homes en masse onone Saturday next fall andvote to keep the HST

That strikes me as anawfully high bar for thegovernment to get over. It’snot completely out of thequestion for enough peopleto vote in favour of theHST to keep it, but the oddsseem awfully long.

And compounding theproblem from the govern-ment’s point of view is theinevitability of many, manypeople seeing the referen-dum as the perfect vehicleto register their displeasureand frustration of the gov-ernment – and particularlythe premier – over any num-

ber of issues.I’ve long thought the

anti-HST petition wassigned by a lot of peoplewho viewed it as more ofan anti-B.C. Liberal peti-tion than an anti-tax effort.I visited a lot of canvassinglocations, and witnessedmany people asking, “Is thatthe anti-Campbell petition”or “Is that the anti-govern-ment petition?”

Will Campbell’s popu-larity recover in time fornext year’s referendum?According to various polls,he’s got a heck of a lot ofground to make up to evenget to the point where halfthe electorate supports him.

One wild card in all thisspeculation could be thefact that more than $2 bil-lion in extra revenue overthe next three years has sud-denly materialized, thus cre-ating the real possibility thatnext spring’s budget couldcontain significant tax cutsor some kind of financialrebate scheme.

But I’m not sureCampbell and the B.C.Liberals can buy their wayback into the good gracesof enough people to savethe HST at this point. Afternine years in power, a gov-ernment — and especially aleader — can accumulate somuch bad baggage that theyinevitably sink

He may insist the HSTreferendum is not about hisleadership, but Campbellmay discover that for somany people, it is exactlyabout that — unless, ofcourse, he resigns first.

It has been almost three years since a young lab was killed bya pit bull in the off-leash park on Dyke Road at the end of No. 3Road.

Last week we had another incident of a pit bull seriouslyinjuring a smaller dog. The dog sustained serious head injuries.It is my understanding the owner of the pit bull had to pry itsjaws open to release the smaller dog.

The victim was a small playful non-aggressive dog, so Ihighly doubt the attack would have been provoked. I take greatpains to keep my Labrador away from anything that resembles apit bull. However, as owners of non-aggressive and well-social-ized dogs, we should not have to put up with reckless owners ofthese dogs who are clearly in contravention of the city animalcontrol bylaws.

The bylaw clearly states that in addition to dogs deemed dan-gerous due to their aggressive behaviour against a person or ananimal, pit bull terriers, American pit bull terriers or any dog ofmixed breeding which includes those breeds or has the physicalcharacteristics conforming to the standards of the above breedsis considered a dangerous dog and must be, not only leashed, butmuzzled and under the care and control of the owner.

Pit bulls have a greater pound per square inch bite than anyother dog and tend not to release their jaws when biting. Whilethey may be docile with their owners, they are unpredictablewith other dogs and should be kept away from a setting wherethey would come in contact with other dogs.

The regular users of this park treasure it and consider it asafe place for our friendly, sociable dogs, large and small, to playand romp. We do not want aggressive, unsociable dogs in ourpark un-muzzled and un-leashed in clear contravention of citybylaws.

The Editor,The low turnout and the number of pre-

sentations at last week’s Cohen StevestonForum on Fraser River sockeye was disap-pointing.

However, when you have a once in a life-time fishery on the adjacent river, one canguess that many fishermen will have otherpriorities than sit at yet another federal hear-ing into missing salmon.

Vivian Krause, who tries to represent thesalmon farmers along the B.C. coast, madean emotional presentation that tried to leadCommissioner Cohen to believe that therewas no proof that sea lice produced on salm-on farms can impact wild sockeye salmon.

Her presentation was really an attack onAlexandra Morton and anyone else who hasfound sea lice to be harmful to wild salmon.

The attack attempted to undermine thecredibility of Morton and then cast aspersionson SFU scientists who worked with Morton,scientists who reviewed her work and theinternationally recognized science journalsand editors who published her work.

Despite the low numbers of speakers, onesimply does not use the Cohen Commissionto blindly defend the salmon farmers fromany association with sea lice and then attacksomeone like Alex Morton who has provenher credentials in studying relationships

between salmon farms, sea lice and sea liveinfestation of wild salmon.

One can only wonder if the salmon farm-ers and their lobby friends have a code ofethical conduct.

The fish farmers have refused to releaseany information of lice levels on neither spe-cific farms nor the number of farmed salmonin their pens when juvenile sockeye wouldhave migrated past their operations.

When you look at how the fish farmershave repeatedly violated the Fisheries Act— such as shooting sea lions, otters, captur-ing wild fish illegally, causing major diseaseproblems and causing pollution and harmful-ly altering habitat over the past 20 years — Isimply cannot see how they can be so criticalof a largely volunteer worker who has openedup her data for all to see.

What makes it more shameful is the lessthan diligent actions of the B.C. governmentand DFO.

They allowed and thereby encouraged thefish farmers to adopt this arrogant and highlyquestionable behaviour whereby you attackthose who show that fish farms are having anegative impact and blindly live in denial ofany impact fish farms can have on the naturalenvironment.

Otto Langer,Richmond

Fish farmers use offense for defense

Don’t buy architect’s pitchThe Editor,

Re: “Misconceptions plague plan,” News, Sept. 17.Of course chief architect James Cheng is trying to con-

vince the public that plans for the temple are being miscon-strued by residents.

How many times has the City of Richmond been duped byarchitects who claim to be erecting a certain sized buildingand end up with something completely different?

And comparing the height with Holy Rosary Cathedralin Vancouver and Cologne Cathedral in Germany is utterlyridiculous. Holy Rosary was built more than 100 years agoon a site that was then forest, and the building of Cologne’sGothic Cathedral started in medieval times.

The blame for this rests on the city for approving such abuilding in the first place and the residents in the area haveevery right to oppose it.

And by the way, Holy Rosary Cathedral is 217-feet high,not 165 feet as stated by Mr. Cheng.

Richmond runners, take a bowThe Editor,

When I heard the rainpounding on my roof mid-night Saturday, I had a ter-rible feeling that The TerryFox Run at Garry Point wasgoing to be rained out withjust a few brave souls inattendance.

Months of preparation forpossibly not much gain.

However, the Sundaymorning weather was cooland overcast — but it wasnot raining — and the goodfolks of Richmond turnedout in droves, it was wonder-ful to see.

This year, on the 30thanniversary of Terry Fox’sMarathon of Hope, the citi-zens of Richmond raised arecord $25,000 for cancerresearch from over 800 par-ticipants and volunteers.

I would like toannounce my resignationas a gardener. I am fin-ished!

I am tired of watering,tired of dead heading andstaking and am going toplow the whole suckerunder, buy my fruits andveggies at the stands andinstall astro turf and plas-tic flowers.

I will no longer be atthe beck and call of theseasons, and will be ableto travel in the summer-time.

I will no longer fearwind and body numbingwaves of rain that knockover lamp posts and sendsmall children down the

street in surges of water.My husband’s knees

will no longer be tattooedwith grime and we will allwalk about with knees thatare ‘un-holey’.

We will sell all ourplants at a large sale in thespring time, make a tidysum of money, close ourcurtains and call it a day.

We can sell our greenhouse to the neighbouror rent it out as summeraccommodation.

Without all the gardenequipment, gloves, kneel-ing pads and pots andhanging baskets the shedwill be empty and we canrent that out, too.

It’s okay — don’t panic— I feel like this everySeptember. This has beena long, hot summer — thatendless heat had us water-ing our hanging basketstwice a day, and it friedthe lobelia in no time flat.

The baskets in the

shade look okay, but therain we had recently toretwo of the baskets in theback into shreds of theirformer selves, and the day-long torrential downpouron the last day of Augustdidn’t help either. Theylook pitiful.

The Phlox out front— which had graced ourliving room with the mostgorgeous scent for weeks— mildewed heavily over-night, even the mildewresistant variety.

The butterfly bush grewso tall it created a shadegarden where one did notexist before.

Because of this ourmonkshood existed, butdid not bloom.

Now, I do have to admita few successes ...

The zinnias have finallycome into their own, andthe new seed with lovelyvariegated blooms werefantastic. Definitely worth

the cost of the seed pack-age. Their bright colourwows me every time.

Our two banana plantsgrew tall and their leaveswere enormous andreminded me of elephantears — love ’em, especial-ly when they blow about ina soft breeze.

The tomatoes are slowto ripen but tasty as canbe. We tried new varietiesand I think most of themare winners.

I’m glad we kept themcovered again as we haverelatives and friends whohave lost them all toblight. It was worth theextra work.

The sugar snap peaswere plentiful and ever sotasty. We ate them everynight for about a week orso, and they were so sweet.

They appreciated ourcool spring while I didnot.

I’m quitting gardening, ‘till next yearLANDSCAPING

My husband’s new-found devotion to dahlias has resultedin us having to give up one of our raised (food) beds to thesebeauties.

He promises next year we can have it back, but this yearwe have a sea of dahlia colour in the backyard, and it some-thing to behold.

We had a bumper crop of raspberries that were delicious.I once read that raspberries are a dying crop because of theirsoftness, as they are difficult to transport and have a veryshort shelf life. I can’t imagine a life without raspberries.

It’s all been way too much work, and I think I’ll rest awhile and peruse the new seed catalogues that came in themail. Of course, we’re not planting a garden next year, butjust in case ...

“Did you come all the way to Michiganfor the beer, too?” says the man, glancingat my Ontario licence plate as he points tohis own.

“It’s the only reason I ever leaveCanada,” he adds, as he navigates his waythrough the crowded entranceway of AnnArbor’s Jolly Pumpkin Cafe and Brewery tograb the last seat at the bar.

Inside, up at the bar, a beer aficionadois introducing some newbies to the fastestgrowing industry (or art form, as convertswill tell you) in Michigan: craft beer.

“On the nose you will smell spice withhints of fruit,” he says, to his thirsty, eagerstudents.

“And the mouth feel is hoppy but notoverwhelming, ending with a smooth bitter-ness,” he adds, describing Jolly Pumpkin’spopular Oro de Calabaza beer, recentlydeclared by the New York Times to be thebest Belgium-style ale in the world, bestingthe top Belgian offerings.

Whether or not the initiates’ palateshave detected such characteristics, thespeed with which they down their pints isundoubtedly an enthusiastic endorsement ofits taste.

While the rest of the state is goingthrough an economic downturn, Michigan’scraft beer industry has experienced double-digit growth over the past two years.

And it’s growing in the right direction;seven of the top 100 beers in the world,as rated by Beer Advocate, the industry’sbible, are found in Michigan, eclipsed onlyby Belgium and California in number ofwinning craft brews.

Despite the acclaim these brews havegarnered, you’ll have to cross the border totry them.

As yet, none of Michigan’s winningbrews (or, for that matter, any beer from thestate’s most acclaimed breweries) has everbeen available at the LCBO.

But I’m not here for a lesson in beertasting.

I’ve come to Michigan to track downthe elusive, beguilingly named CanadianBreakfast Stout, which, according to BeerAdvocate, is the fourth-best beer in the

world; yet it’s only available one place onthe planet: on tap at Founders BrewingCompany in Grand Rapids.

“The name comes from the fact that itis aged in barrels formerly used for maplesyrup,” explains Sarah Aldrich, marketingassistant at Founders.

“Though we don’t necessarily encourageyou to drink it for breakfast.

“But follow craft breweries and you’llstumble upon dynamic, culturally alive,innovative communities.

Craft-beer making is a very creativeindustry.”

Proof of such creativity can be foundat Grand Rapids’ Frederik Meijer Gardens

and Sculpture Park, named one of the Top30 must-see museums in the world byPatricia Schultz, author of 1,000 Places toSee Before You Die.

Meijer is currently showcasing the workof renowned glass sculptor Dale Chihuly;indoors and outside, exotic plantings aredeftly paired with fantastical glass forms.

The attraction’s only shortcoming is thatstrolling among the displays with a beer isnot encouraged.

Luckily, no such prohibition exists atBell’s Eccentric Cafe in Kalamazoo, apicturesque university town an hour fromGrand Rapids.

Desperately seeking the 4th best beer in the worldMICHIGAN

Travelling all the way to Ann Arbor in search of an elusive Canadian pint

SANDRA MACGREGOR/POSTMEDIA NEWS

The pub at Founders Brewing Company, above, is the only place you’ll findCanadian Breakfast Stout. Below, right, a tempting pint of Canadian Breakfast Stout.

BY SANDRA MACGREGORPostmedia News

see Decision page 15


Decision: Is it the hops or yeast?You decideHere, guests are encouraged to enjoy their

brews at the pub’s outdoor beer garden.Among wildflowers and apple trees,

imbibers have their choice of picnic tablesor lounge chairs and, on many evenings, out-door concerts are held on a makeshift stage.

Bell’s, founded in 1985, is Michigan’sfirst craft brewery and continues to dominatethe market with award-winning beers.

But, like all craft breweries in the indus-try today, explains marketing director LauraBell, it’s not just the brewery’s small sizeand specialty recipes that make craft beer sounique; it’s the beverage’s accessibility.

“There is no snob factor,” says Bell. “Andwhether you are a fan of sweet or sour orsomething in between, there’s something tosuit every taste. That’s why I think beer canbe more versatile with foods than wine.”

Certainly the restaurants of Kalamazooappear to agree, with several featuringbeer-and-food pairings. One of the mostpopular is the Olde Peninsula Brewpub andRestaurant, which offers a five-course dinnercomplemented with five different brews.

But Kalamazoo has plenty to offer thosenot partial to beer, with an Air Zoo that fea-tures rides, flight simulations and historicaldisplays.

Or work off any indulgences at the NatureCentre, with more than 15 kilometres of hik-ing trails and environmental exhibits.

Just be sure to return to town at night,where, along the patio-lined, pedestrian-friendly side streets, fireflies dart betweenboisterous diners as they debate the mostcontentious question in any town that ishome to a craft brewery:

Is it the hops or the yeast that defines thedraft?

Rookie netminder AaronOakley was perfect in a penaltyshootout to lead the RichmondSockyes to a 4-3 win over theGrandview Steelers on Sunday.

The Seafair Minor Hockeyproduct made 21 stops in regula-tion time, then blanked all fiveGrandview shooters after the teams

had failed to break the deadlock ina five minute overtime period.

Richmond had opened up a 3-1third period lead when the Steelersproduced a pair of power playgoals to pull even.

Rudi Thorsteinson, Eli Weibeand Kyzen Loo had the Richmondgoals, while Jake Roder netted the

shootout winner.The Sockeyes would have four

straight wins out of the gate if notfor a stellar performance by a for-mer player.

Brad Anderson, who playedfor Richmond during the 2007-08 season, made 41 saves to leadthe visiting Abbotsford Pilots to

a 4-3 win at Minoru Arena lastThursday.

The Sockeyes dominated muchof the contest and enjoyed a wideadvantage in the shots department— 44-16. Sebastian Pare’s secondof the night did manage to forceovertime, however, the Pilots’Jarrett Martin spoiled the come-

back when he netted the overtimewinner with just 28 secondsremaining.

Roder had the other Richmondgoal.

The Sockeyes (3-0-1) returnedto action Thursday when theSquamish Wolf Pack visit MinoruArena at 7:30 p.m.

Canada off to promising start at Olympic OvalHost nation defeats Great Britain to open round-robin play at World Wheelchair Rugby Championships

Canada has wasted littletime in proving why they areamong the favourites at theWorld Wheelchair RugbyChampionships.

The host nation and thetournament’s third seed defeatedninth ranked Great Britain 48-41in front of a sold out crowd ofschool children waving signs andcheering, “Go Canada Go!” atthe Richmond Olympic Oval onTuesday.

The championships continueall this week with the gold medalgame scheduled for Sunday at3 p.m.

“It was a great first win for usagainst a very quality opponent,”said Canadian head Coach KevinOrr. “We felt that (Great Britain)was one of the strongest teamshere at the tournament, so for usto come out with a win was verygood.”

Co-captain and hometownfavourite Ian Chan provided earlyleadership for Canada, scoringthe bulk of the goals and usinghis speed to stymie the Britishoffense.

Each line-up Canada subbedin maintained aggressive full-court pressure and by halftime,Canada was sitting with a 25-20lead.

“We wanted to score as manygoals as we can as fast as pos-sible so that we [would] haveanother chance on defense topress them and maybe get a turn-over,” explained Chan.

Great Britain, however, wouldnot go down without a fight.

Under the leadership of Troye

Collins and Alan Ash, the Britishforced some turnovers of theirown to come within four at theend of the third quarter. Canada’ssolid ball-handling, however,made it impossible for GreatBritain to gain any momentum.Canada continued to roll with allcylinders firing despite multipleline changes

“We ran 11 [of 12] players

and no other team will do thatthis week,” said co-captain DaveWillsie.

Wheelchair rugby is a teamsport for male and female quad-riplegics. It is full-contact andplayed on a hardwood basketballcourt between teams of fourplayers. It combines some ele-ments of basketball, handball,and ice hockey, and was created

in Canada in 1977 by a groupof athletes with a disability inManitoba.

The rounding out the 12 com-peting nations are New Zealand,USA, Australia, Japan, Germany,Belgium, Sweden, Poland,Finland and Argentina.

The Canadian line-up alsofeatures another local player— Travis Murao.

“The Richmond Oval is anincredible sporting venue and weare looking forward to bringingit to life once again with world-class international competition,”said Laurel Crosby, chair of theorganizing committee for the2010 World Wheelchair RugbyChampionships.

Get to the Next Level: Find That Dream JobWhether you’re unemployed or work-ing but entertaining thoughts of movingon, finding a new job is an involved pro-cess that takes lots of commitment andhard work. Sifting through job openingscan be akin to finding a needle in a hay-stack. Searching through that proverbialhaystack, however, is even more difficultwhen you’re forced to compete againsthundreds of others doing exactly the same.But finding a job, and doing so quickly,doesn’t need to be so difficult. The follow-ing tips should help put down on the trialsand tribulations of looking for work.

• Do some networking. Recognizing you’renot the only one looking for a job is essen-tial to finding one you really want. Recruit-ers’ inboxes are overflowing with the resumesof potential applicants, so you need an edge.Where most job seekers find the most successis through word-ofmouth. Family, friends, for-mer coworkers or anyone else you have regu-

lar contact with outside of your current officecan all be great sources of information whenlooking for a job.

• Stay organized. Keep track of your job-searching efforts. Finding a job can be adrawn out process, as recruiters typically mustsift through large applicant pools before set-ting up any interviews. Keep a separate file onall jobs you’ve applied to, complete with a jobdescription and copy of the cover letter andresume you sent to that particular job. Keepthese files easily accessible and organized, asyou never know when you might be contact-ed by a prospective employer.

• Know what you have to offer. Examine yourstrengths and work on communicating thosestrengths. Effectively explaining what you dobest is your best chance of landing that dreamjob, so practice illustrating how your skills ap-ply to each position you’re seeking and howthose skills can benefit the company.

• Customize your letters and resumes. No twojobs are the same, so no two sets of cover let-ters and resumes should be the same, either.Tailor each letter and resume to the specificjob you’re applying to. In particular, cover let-ters should emphasize specific skills that mightapply to each job. Save all cover letters andresumes under different filenames as well, asyou’ll want extra copies of each should you begranted an interview.

• Stay motivated. Particularly if you’re un-employed or working part-time until youcan get back into your field, the process oflooking for a job can be defeating. Talesof finding a job early on in the process doexist, but more often than not the processrequires sending out plenty of resumes anddealing with lots of rejection. It’s a processthat everyone goes through, not just you.Keep working hard and you’ll find that, indue time, opportunity will come knocking.
