Richmond News April 13 2016

Richmond will not establish a municipalpolice force and the Red Serge will con-

tinue to feature prominently in and aroundRichmond — at least for the near future.

That’s because, although a recent roundof public consultation showed Richmon-dites generally favour the RCMP over anindependent municipal police force, Rich-mond city council has decided to spear-head a call to form a regional police force.

The city will now invite regional RCMPcities to discussions on establishing sucha force.

The decision came Monday after councilwas presented with a public consultation

report on its Police Services Review thatindicated the public expressed inquiriesabout establishing a regional police force.

In the meantime, the $20 millionestimated price tag for transitioning to amunicipal force — as well as higher annualoperating costs — combined with the factthere didn’t appear to be enough cause forchange, meant 59 per cent of decided resi-dents surveyed chose to keep the RCMP,despite general consensus that a munici-pal force could provide better communitypolicing.

“Ultimately the clear preference weheard from citizens was to maintain theRCMP,” said Anna Lilly, a lead consultantfor Fleishman Hillard, which oversaw thepublic consultation process.

Council was split on whether or not theconsultation process was adequate. Lilly

noted many residents felt they were noteducated enough on the subject, whileseveral others questioned the impetusfor council to undertake the consultationprocess, estimated to cost $150,000.

“Those comments came through quitesignificantly,” said Lilly.

On several occasions during a specialpublic committee meeting on Monday,councillors revealed there was information— including a special report on policing —that was not made publicly available, butwhich could have explained why councilwas looking at making a change.

Coun. Ken Johnston said “a lot of thisgoes back years” and there are “things wecan’t talk about.”

What do you need 12 of to make one?That was the question posed Monday

morning to students, teaching staff and par-ents at Lord Byng elementary in Steveston, assix children and three adults were poised tohave their long hair cut for a very good cause.

The answer — as far as Richmond-basedWigs for Kids BC is concerned — was that ittakes a dozen ponytails to make one wig forcustom-made human-hair wigs for childrenand teens at BC Children’s Hospital, whohave suffered hair loss due to cancer treat-ment or other serious illnesses.

The event in front of the entire schoolpopulace also raised more than $500 for Wigsfor Kids, with Grade 1 student Jenna Baiermanaging to pull in an impressive $450.

Jenna’s efforts weren’t surprising, given thatit was her idea in the first place to organizethe event.

“About a year ago, Jenna heard of somechildren she knew doing this and decidedthere and then she wanted to organize anevent,” said her mom, Sheila Baier.

“She’s been growing her hair like, forever;

she’s only had trims up until now.”But was she excited ahead of Monday

morning? “Oh yes. She was up at 6 a.m. onSunday, in my bedroom saying ‘tomorrow isthe day,’” said her mom.

Baier said, on Jenna’s request, she con-tacted Wigs for Kids and met with them and itwent from there.

As well as help from the school, profes-sional hair stylists — Shari Rogers and DinaReynolds — offered their services free ofcharge.

A volunteer-run organization, Wigs for KidsBC also helps families pay for medicationsand supplies that are essential for treatmentbut not covered by their medical plan.

New Coast Realty, a Richmond-based realestate firm, has had a number of condi-

tions placed on it by the Real Estate Councilof BC, after a Globe and Mail investigationindicated its clients’ best interests were notbeing served.

“Licence conditions have been issuedby the Real Estate Council of BC (RECBC)for New Coast Realty to ensure the broker-age complies with the Real Estate Act andto establish appropriate oversight of thebrokerage,” said RECBC in a statement, lastFriday.

A three-month investigation by Globe re-porter Kathy Tomlinson revealed some realestate agents have been engaging in a prac-tice known as “shadow flipping,” wherebyan agent resells a property for a higher pricebefore the initial deal is closed.

The process gives agents extra commis-sions and effectively bilks money from theoriginal homeowner.

It’s a legal loophole the provincial govern-ment promises will be soon closed.

After Friday’s announcement, the Globereleased training session audio tapes of

New Coast owner Ze Yu Wu, instructingNew Coast sales agents to encourage home-owners to sell their properties for as low aspossible.

“You must print out the lowest prices inthe neighbourhood to show to the home-owner,” Wu is quoted in the Globe, viaa translation service, as Wu is a Chinesenational and doesn’t speakEnglish.

The Globe’s investigationrevealed New Coast takeslarger cuts from agent com-missions. It also revealedthat New Coast had aboveaverage dealings, wherethe agent represented boththe seller and the buyer.

On Tuesday, the Rich-mond News called NewCoast’s general manager— listed on its websiteas an Amalia Liapis. Sheclaimed she didn’t work forNew Coast, despite having a company emailaddress.

Ten minutes later, her contact details werewiped from the company’s contact page.

In a statement released to the media,New Coast said its “... agents and manage-ment work hard to serve the best interests

of our clients and to respect our profes-sional obligations while doing so. New Coastdenies the allegations made by the Globeand Mail, which are based on excerpts of arecorded conversation taken out of context.New Coast is cooperating with the RealEstate Council in reviewing these mattersand looks forward to answering the unfair

accusations which havebeen made.”

Agents are supposed toact as fiduciaries for theseller. As such, RECBChas placed a number ofconditions on New Coast toensure best practices arefollowed. New Coast is saidto be cooperating with thecouncil.

New Coast must now ap-point a new managing bro-ker approved in advance bythe council.

Only this manager canproceed with training sessions and su-pervise licensed agents. According to theGlobe, the Real Easte Board of Greater Van-couver (REBGV) fined New Coast in 2016for having unlicensed employees accessMLS data.

New Coast will need to submit monthly

reports to the council on any in-house trans-actions and quarterly audits will be con-ducted. The council will also track all offersreceived for a property listed by New Coast.

The council noted that there are a “sig-nificant” number of buyers and sellers withtransactions in progress with New Coastwho will have to remain with the firm as theyhave contractual obligations to fulfill.

The council has asked any sellers withconcerns about transactions at New Coastto contact RECBC by email at [email protected] or by phone at 604-683-9664.

Despite a record-shattering 2015 for resi-dential property values, there appears to beno slowing down of the real estate market inMetro Vancouver.

“March was the highest selling month theREBGV has ever recorded,” said Dan Mor-rison, president of REBGV.

Richmond’s benchmark price for adetached home is now $1.4 million, up 31per cent since last year. The median sellingprice is now $1.66 million.

Homes on larger lots and along arterialroads sell for much more. The averagetownhouse now costs $632,000, whileapartments are in the $404,000 range.

Only Vancouver and North Vancouverhave higher property values than Rich-mond.

Coun. Bill McNulty opposed Lilly’s as-sertion that the online/telephone survey ofabout 600 people was a fair representationof the city. He also said turnout at the openhouses was low (about 200 people attend-ed five open houses).

“I was a bit disappointed,” said McNulty,who now wants to see more surveys doneon policing.

McNulty also questionedthe reach of the council-approved survey, indicatingthe South Asian commu-nity was underrepresented(respondents were 49 percent ethnic Chinese).

Johnston asked Lilly if lowvoluntary turnout at openhouses was indicative thatthe public generally has fewconcerns. Lilly confirmedthat low turnout generallyindicates such an assertion.Lilly nevertheless said shewas impressed with the number of peoplewho took the time to review the informationat LetsTalkRichmond.ca.

“The people have spoken,” said John-ston.

Coun. Derek Dang said he wasn’t sur-prised at the results, given the informationthat was provided to the public. He saidcost was a major factor.

“Once you start talking about dollars,that’s all you’re talking about,” said Dang.

McNulty also said money was a big factor.

“What the community has said to us —those who have answered with the RCMPas I read it — ‘I want the safest police forcein the world; however, I don’t want to payfor it,’” said McNulty.

Dang suggested one of the sore points forcouncil over the years has been “bullying”tactics from Victoria and RCMP headquar-ters in Ottawa, although he did not elabo-rate.

According to the results, response timesand curtailing propertycrime were rated the mostimportant policing priori-ties. Public disorder andtraffic safety were rated aslower priorities.

Local control did notseem to be a big factorfor the public, as manypeople expressed lack ofconfidence in city council,according to polling andsubmitted comments.

Despite “shortcomings”of the survey, McNulty

said the information can prove valuable forfuture use.

“We have to go with it whether we like itor not,” said McNulty.

Coun. Alexa Loo said the process was“splitting hairs.”

She and Coun. Harold Steves noted theyalso heard inquiries from residents aboutforming a regional police force.

At the meeting, council directed city staffto advocate for the formation of a local po-lice board to oversee the Richmond RCMP.

What the community hassaid to us ... ‘I want thesafest police force in theworld; however, I don’twant to pay for it’– Bill McNulty

LIVE A LIFE FILLEDWITH VERVE

INSPIRED SENIOR LIVING WITH


Imagine playing a game of chess for fourhours non-stop, breaking only to use the

washroom.That’s the world that 10-year-old Sherry

Tian lives in, a B.C. chess champion, who’sbeen beating adult women players and willbe representing the province in the U.S.A.’smost prestigious girls chess tournament, the13th Annual Susan Polgar Foundation Girls’Invitational (SPFGI) in St. Loius this July.

Last year, the Grade 5 DeBeck elementarystudent finished fourth in her age group inCanada and showed up well in the WorldChampionships in Greece.

And a couple of weeks after the marathonfour-hour match in Victoria — when she beata Grade 8 boy — Sherry became the first everB.C. player to qualify from the province for the

Susan Polgar (Canadians have been excludedin the past) when she won the U-19 section.

“It was a little bit of a surprise,” said Sherry,modestly, who’s only been playing the gamefor two years.

Now ranked number one in B.C., her rapidrise to the top of the game in the provinceis less of a surprise for her father, Alex Tian,who recalled how his daughter’s Grade 2teacher noticed she had a talent for math,before placing her on an accelerated mathprogram.

“We then asked her to try chess and sheproved to be very, very fast at the game,” saidAlex, who brought his family, including wifeNicole Zhao, from Beijing in 2008 to live intheir single-family home on Ash Street. Thecouple had another daughter, Eliza, five yearsago.

“She then rose up the ratings very quicklywith the (Chess and Math Association) andshe has a rating of 1,352 with the (CanadianFederation of Chess).”

At a rating of 1,800, you can be considereda chess master, said Alex, a constructionproject manager.

Of the longest match of her short careerin Victoria last month, Sherry said she was“very tired” at the end of it, as players are notallowed to eat in that time and very little com-munication is allowed with your opponent.

St. Loius, she said, will be “the biggest chal-lenge yet; I’m looking forward to it, though.”

Alex said, in the beginning, he taught

Sherry a little, but “after that, she just got onwith it herself.”

“She beat me fair and square after abouttwo months of playing. I was so happy for her,but kind of sad, for me,” he laughed, notingthat he has won a parent and child game atthe school once, but that’s it.

As well as playing chess online every day forabout two hours, Sherry, who is doing Grade7 math, is about to take her level 8 piano testand writes short mystery novels.

n Developer Tien Sher Homes has a plan to turn the clock back along Chatam Street, Steveston tothe style of the 1890s. Rendering submitted

NEWSin the City

Old look for new build

Aproposed three-storey development onChatham Street is said to harken back to

Steveston at the turn of the 20th century.The 12-metre-high building references the

overall heritage character of Steveston in the1890s, according to a city planner’s report toRichmond city council. It will feature com-mercial retail shops on the street level andtwo additional floors for 16 condo units.

The structure, if built, will replace fourdetached homes and rest between the formerSteveston Methodist Church (now RichmondHospital Auxiliary Thrift Shop) on SecondAvenue and a medical office on First Avenue.

The plan, endorsed by the Richmond Heri-

tage Commission, was unanimously approvedby city councillors on Monday, but must stillgo to a public hearing.

Coun. Carol Day said it would be a largebuilding for Chatham, but she was “pleasedby the style,” while Coun. Linda McPhail saidit reflects the overall heritage of Steveston.

The initial plan had developer Tien SherHomes placing solar panels on the roof, butthat idea was scrapped due to economics.

This was the only sore point for Coun.Harold Steves.

“When we have the opportunity to go solar,we should,” said Steves, who suggested usingmoney from community amenity fees to payfor panels.

The Chatham building will, nevertheless,feature a large rooftop garden.

Dear Editor,Why don’t our property taxes go down

each year?Our developed land area isn’t getting

bigger, we aren’t building new roads andinfrastructure.

We require developers to pay for their util-ity connections and road improvements.

We charge development cost charges(DCCs) to developers.

So our costs of maintenance and admin-istration shouldn’t be growing more thaninflation, which is near zero.

Yet we are adding many new taxpayerseach year, so that relatively fixed adminis-tration should be spread over more taxpay-ers, resulting in a declining tax bill for eachof us?

Bob GarnettRichmond

While the B.C. government was willingto hold a referendum last May to hike

the PST by 0.5 per cent to raise roughly $3billion for the first 10 years of the transit planoutlined by the region’s mayors, there’s noreferendum for the $3.5 billion George MasseyTunnel Replacement Project.

Here we are spending almost the exactsame amount the PST increase would haveraised, except we aren’t getting a referendum,nor will municipal governments have much inthe way of input.

The bridge is far from efficient spending. Itisn’t even a transit priority. Here’s what theMayors’ Transportation and Transit Plan wouldget us for the same amount: Double the peakcapacity of the Expo Line, which sees 200,000riders a day; increase the frequency of theCanada Line; create 2,700 km of bikeways;maintain major road networks and reducecongestion by 20 per cent along most majorroads.

Compared to the George Massey Tunnel,which sees 80,000 vehicles a day and a peakof 8,000 vehicles per hour, the best choice is

clearly the Mayors’ Transportation and TransitPlan. One of the greater ironies is from theDecember 2015 George Massey Tunnel factsheet, which stated that the bridge wouldmeet modern seismic standards.

“Building a tunnel to the same requiredstandards is a much more costly, complexand environmentally invasive process, involv-ing river-bottom dredging and bringing in lay-ers of sand, gravel and loose stone to reinforcethe earth onshore and in the Fraser Riverbelow the water.”

It’s ironic because meeting modern seismicstandards is far from their priority for a lot ofour public infrastructure.

It’s strange and greatly insulting that theB.C. government is forcing hospitals, schoolsand other important public institutes to begfor money or scrape together whatever theycan by any means possible to meet modernseismic standards, while, at the same time,they’re prioritizing a “costly, complex andenvironmentally invasive process” to achieveseismic standards for a bridge?

A financially prudent idea would be to spendthe $2.2 billion requested by Metro Vancouverschool districts to upgrade 128 schools at riskfor major seismic instability.

It’s quite ironic that the Minister of Transpor-tation, Todd Stone, said that the project is be-

ing driven from a place of safety. The choiceto prioritize spending to make the bridge seis-mically sound and safe while these schoolspacked with tens of thousands of students areat serious risk raises a lot of questions.

Moreover, the $3.5 billion is being spent ona project that is far from transparent. It lacksthe input that the Mayor’s Transportation andTransit Plan had.

The most phenomenal and mind-bogglingpart is that we’re spending our money to re-place an already existing tunnel while leavingour transit insufficiently funded and our publicinstitutions cash-strapped.

Freedom of information requests from Coun.Harold Steves about the pros and cons of up-grading the tunnel instead of replacing it, haveresulted in no records being located. How isthat possible?

How can you make a $3.5 billion decisionwith no record?

Our population is going to double, but ourroad size cannot double with it.

It’s time we make a decision regarding whatwe want to invest in. My answer is clearlypublic transit.

As an 18-year-old, Vincent Chiu ran in theRichmond Centre riding for the Green Party inthe federal election last fall. He was one of theyoungest candidates in the country.

LETTERSto the Editor

Dear Editor,I have recently stopped driv-

ing because of my age and thechaotic traffic we are experiencingin Richmond.

Taking the buses to shop andvisit the seniors centre has beenquite pleasant — the bus driversare friendly and the Compasssystem works well. However,I have noted that to get to theseniors centre I have to walk atleast half a mile, no matter whichbus I take.

I am quite able to do that but Iwonder about the growing popula-

tion of seniors, many of whomwould not be able to walk thatdistance.

The only bus that stops near thecentre on Granville is the Railway110. A number of seniors getthe Handy Dart, but it has to beordered a day ahead at least, it ismore expensive than the regularbus fares and there are long waitswhen it is ordered.

I read that the city is planning tospend $80 million on new struc-tures at Minoru Park, of which alarge amount is to be spent on anew seniors centre.

This is the time that the SeniorsAdvisory Council should be peti-tioning transit authorities for betterservice, so that seniors will beable to get to the new facility.

Not to plan ahead would be likeswallowing an ox and choking onthe tail!

Now is the time that seniorsshould be calling Richmond’sSeniors Advisory Committee andasking for a special seniors’ busthat could be at certain points ona grid that could connect with thebus that is closest to them and forwhich the Compass card could

be used, as well. Surely, the cityhas learned something from thedismal situation where thousandsof houses have been destroyed inRichmond in the last five years?

It’s too late to bring in legislationto deal with the wreckage here,as there appears to have been noattempt to recycle any material.

However, hopefully, the powersthat be will not wait until the newfacilities are built at Minoru tostart planning for more and bettertransportation.

Movie memories evoked

Dear Editor,Re: “Delta Drive-in was a family affair in

1950s,” Flashback Friday, April 1.I really enjoyed your article on the Delta

Drive-In a few weeks ago; it brought backsome happy memories from childhood.

Growing up on Mitchell Island and at-tending Mitchell Elementary school, thedrive-in was a part of our lives.

I remember going to a double feature ofSki Party and Country Music on Broad-way, probably in 1966.

My brother and I enjoyed the first filmthen crawled into the back of the stationwagon to sleep while my parents enjoyedthe country music film.

My dad also took my brother and I to atriple bill of Hammer horror films that wasgreat fun.

We played in the playground area untilit was dark enough for the first movie tostart.

I would always check out the cool signat the entrance on the bus ride to school,and wish I had a photo of it now.

Above is a photo of my brother and Iwith some friends in front of Mitchell el-ementary in 1964, during construction onthe expansion of the annex building.

ARichmond husband andwife duo are bringing

their vision for a fantasy mu-sical to the silver screen thaturges youngsters to put downtheir cellphones and gamingcontrols to discover what it’slike to be kids again.

Terry Wolfe and MarleneDixon shot and producedKids from Camelot, an inde-pendent film, in and aroundNew York’s Spanish Harlem,then enlisted the talent fromRichmond Youth HonourChoir to pose as kids findingit hard to break the addictionof their electronic devices.

They travel back in time toCamelot to find out if an oldsword in their storage lockeris really King Arthur’s longlost Excalibur.

During their journey, theyoungsters discover whatchildhood should be aboutand start a revolution againstTV and cell phone addicts.

The idea for the story start-ed back in the mid-1980swhen Wolfe was a lawyer.

Originally, he set it inMontreal. And later thepremise drew the interest of

producers looking for a liveentertainment matinee at theExcalibur hotel in Las Vegas.

Wolfe said it was a million-dollar deal he walked awayfrom, because the logistics ofrunning a daily show with ayoung cast was problematic.

Undeterred, he continuedwith his law practice whilestill harbouring dreams ofgetting into show business.

And it came to fruition adecade later when he retired.

That’s when he and Dixon,a long-time publicist for theArts Club Theatre in Vancou-ver, collaborated in 2008 toproduce their first indie flickElvis, Mozart and Me.

According to IMDb (Inter-

net Movie Database), it’s azany, romantic musical com-edy about a retired lawyertrying to persuade his wife toinvest in a low-budget movie.

“That was an experimentthat taught me the pitfalls ofmaking an ultra-low budgetfeature film,” Wolfe said.

“... I licked my wounds fora year, all the while thinkingthat I should go back to astory that brought a million-dollar offer.”

For the past four years, thecouple has worked on KidsFrom Camelot. For tickets toits April 23 premiere at theVan City Festival Theatre,email [email protected] or call 604-241-7303.

One of the first musicals ever produced at Gateway Theatreis returning to the Minoru Park playhouse next season.

Meredith Willson’s The Music Man will come to life on theMainStage in December as the Richmond theatre’s popularholiday musical. Announced at the theatre Friday, the show isone of six plays featured in Gateway’s 2016-2017 season.

Gateway first produced the Broadway classic about acharming con man and his 76 trombones in 1985 — thetheatre’s second year.

Gateway artistic director Jovanni Sy was on stage in Vancou-ver Friday, but said in a news release he’s bringing togethersome of the best theatre artists in Metro Vancouver and fromacross the country for the upcoming season.

“The plays weare presenting arenot only rivetingentertainment, theyalso examine timelyissues from a multi-tude of viewpoints.Each of these pro-ductions showcasesdiverse voices withsomething relevantto say about theinterconnected worldin which we live,”said Sy.

Among the sixplays announced aretwo world premieresand one Canadianpremiere.

First to be featuredon the MainStage isKing of the Yees, aCanadian premiere fora play that explores thehistory of America’slargest Chinatown through the eyes of a new generation.That’s followed by the popular Tony Award winning The MusicMan. The new year will begin with You Will Remember Me, adrama that explores the heartbreak of dementia. Closing theseason is The Watershed, a story of a theatre artist who inves-tigates the forces shaping the future of our natural resources.

In Studio B, Gateway will feature the world premiere of LongDivision, a physical theatre piece about the mathematics ofhuman connection, focusing on seven characters linked by asequence of ultimately tragic events.

Another world premiere is planned with The Pipeline Project— a new work that focuses on the issues of peak oil, FirstNations land claims and climate change.

Marc Camoletti wrote 40 plays in his lifetime, despitewaiting until age 35 to pen his first.

Theatres around the world have mounted countlessproductions of the late Parisian playwright’s work, includ-ing his most famous play, Boeing-Boeing.

And then there’s Don’t Dress For Dinner.One needn’t know the entire Camoletti canon to ap-

preciate it.This theatrical bedroom farce is so cleverly written, it’s

bound to leave directors salivating.But all that saliva can easily muddy a challenging, fast-

paced play.Last Friday, Don’t Dress For Dinner opened at Gate-

way Theatre under the direction of Ashlie Corcoran andHeather Cant.

Thankfully, both have full control of their salivaryglands, delivering a superb production that offers muchto appreciate.

The story begins in the Paris home of Bernard (ToddThomson) and Jacqueline (Alison Deon). Bernard hasplanned a weekend with his mistress, Suzanne (KristaColosimo), while his wife is away.

Bernard’s plans should be foolproof — a personal chefis booked to prepare a gourmet dinner, and his friendRobert (Kirk Smith) is also set to arrive as an alibi.

Confusion quickly sets in, as Jacqueline cancels herplans upon hearing Robert — her secret lover — is com-ing over.

A series of mix-ups forces the chef to pretend she’s amistress, then someone’s niece.

The real mistress becomes the chef, but can’t cook.Alibis are changed and traded.

All this chaos and physical comedy demands precisetiming, and this cast delivers with enthusiasm.

A skillful and quick Tess Degenstein is a standout asa chef easily bribed to participate in dishing phoneybaloney.

As Bernard, an energetic Thomson proves a worthyanchor throughout, even turning the unexpected onopening night — a broken doorknob — into a laugh-out-loud moment.

Deon’s Jacqueline is equally entertaining and Smith,as Robert, deftly delivers lines that would leave mosttongue-tied.

Opening night had a quiet beginning — some voiceswere hard to hear — but that soon changed.

Camoletti’s ample number of door-slamming surprisescoupled with sharp direction makes for a fun and enter-taining two-hour farce.

It’s satisfying throughout, even if you can’t keep up.Don’t Dress For Dinner runs until April 23 on Gateway

Theatre’s MainStage. Tickets, $20 to $45, atGatewayTheatre.com or 604-270-1812.

David Volpov admits he’s not sure justhow he’ll feel when the curtain goes

up on opening night next Monday (April

18).Nervous? Confident?Neither seem to fit quite right for

the Grade 12 drama club member atSteveston-London secondary.

Of all the words that might, he settleson proud. That’s because not only willhe be directing the production TenYears Later, he wrote it, too.

It’s an opportunity bestowed on justa handful of students in the programled by drama teacher Jean Kosar, whosaid Volpov has been a shining lightsince he first set foot on the schoolstage back in Grade 8.

“If they are a very devoted memberof the drama club, if their life sort ofrevolves around the theatre, are alwayspushing themselves to go further, and,of course, can come up with a script— that’s huge,” Kosar said.

Volpov, who is 18 and plans on at-tending UBC next year, said he spentpart of last summer writing the scriptthat includes roles for every dramaclub member.

He started the process by askinghis fellow actors what they would liketo perform. They told him diversecharacters and a relatable story. Theresult is a tale about a 10-year reunionof students who were part of the fic-tional drama club at Matthew McBoydschool. Their gathering leads to recall-ing a past chock-full of triumphs, ro-mances and, ultimately, what is billedas a shocking and violent climax.

“All of their insecurities and regrets

about high schooland the drama clubreally unravel to thepoint where theydon’t know who totrust,” Volpov said,adding that afterseveral revisions hewas ready to turnthe script over tothe actors.

“Once I gave it tothem, the projectbecame not justmine anymore. In asense, it’s theirs,”Volpov said, addinghe didn’t have anymisgivings lettinggo as he settledinto the role as adirector who enjoyscollaborating withthe on-stage talent.

“It’s not up to meto force them tosee my vision or toconform to that,” hesaid. “That works inother industries and professions. Butin acting you really need to know whatyou’re doing and why you’re doing it.Plus, I trusted the actors when I castthem.

“And it’s not so much that I’m inawe of the words; it’s the idea thatthese actors are speaking my mind,and we’re all in agreement about thiscohesive vision. It feels really crazythat a lot of my personal life is comingthrough on stage and being disguisedas this comedy thriller.”

Through all the writing and technicaldetails of staging Ten Years Later, Vol-pov said he has enjoyed the process

as he looks forward to going to UBCand earning a degree in fine arts.

“What I learned was that I neverbelieved I could be this stressedwhile having so much fun,” he said.“It’s been long hours, a lot of anxietydealing with good problems and justseeing how I can overcome them.

“Also, I have a lot of tough love. I’mkind of a perfectionist, but at the sameI can joke around with the cast andcrew.”

Ten Years Later opens on April18 and runs until April 21 with fiveperformances, including matinees, atSteveston-London’s theatre. Ticketsare available at the door.

Many restaurantscan claim to haveauthentic dishes that

stay true to their origins.But when one serves up

dishes that include the best ofold world ingredients, com-bined with the utmost from thelocal region, you have the bestof both.BiBo Italian Pizzeria and

Restaurant accomplishes that.And it’s close by for Rich-mond food lovers to discover.Built on the reputation of

Bibo’s original Kitsilanolocation, a second BiBoopened late last October atthe McArthurGlen DesignerOutlet Vancouver Airport notfar from the main terminal onSea Island. And since then,the 80-seat location has beendelighting guests with its

menu that includesNeapolitan pizzasthat are cooked in atraditional oven, andfresh pasta which ismade daily on thepremises.“We convey what

people can experi-ence in Italy,” saidEmiliano Re, generalmanager of the BiBoat the outlet mall. “We havetraditional, good food madefrom easy, uncomplicated reci-pes that are enhanced by thequality of the ingredients.“That’s what we do in Italy.

That way, you experience thefood through the ingredientswhich we bring in as much aswe can directly from Italy.”While the produce on the

menu features the best avail-

able from the Lower Mainlandregion, the speciality items thatgive BiBo its authentic tastecome from cheese and curedmeats that go into the pizzasand other dishes.“It’s ingredients like the bur-

rata we use,” Re said, referringto the imported fresh cheesemade from mozzarella andcream.See Fresh page 21

The outer layer of thecheese is solid mozzarella,while the inside contains bothmozzarella and cream, givingit an unusual, soft texture.“Plus, we have buffalo moz-

zarella,” he added.All of the imported products

in BiBo’s kitchen subscribeto the European Union’s PDO(Protected Designation ofOrigin) which guarantees thequality and names of agricul-tural products and protects theconsumer from being misleadby non-genuine productswhich may be of inferior qual-ity or of different aavour.It all adds up to an Italian

dining experience unlike anyother.“You can buy some ingredi-

ents from here (B.C.) that aresimilar, but in the end the re-sults will not be the same,” Resaid. “We pride ourselves indelivering fresh products thatadhere to the highest Italianstandards. That sets us apart.”The speciality at BiBo is

the 12-inch, Neapolitan stylepizza with its wide crust at theedges and fresh toppings at thecentre.“Authenticity is a word that

gets thrown around a lot,” Resaid. “But from my experience,when you ask what types ofingredients a restaurant uses,you can come away beingdisappointed. That doesn’thappen here.“You get the genuine thing

here and that makes all thedifference.”The pizzas come fresh from

BiBo’s oven that was made inVerona in northern Italy. Witha cooking temperature of 350

degrees, it takes just under twominutes to be ready to serve.“It’s really fast because the

pizza has to cook as fast aspossible so it can stay moistinside,” Re said. “If you cookit for a longer time at a lowertemperature you are going toget a dry product.”Popular is the margherita

pizza, which is topped withtomato, mozzarella and basil,which is said to have been brstdeveloped in 1889 to mark thevisit of Italy’s Queen Margher-ita to the city of Naples.Other favourites include

spicy salami and the crudo,which features fresh tomatoes,mozzarella, Parma prosciutto,arugula and Parmigiano Reg-giano.Also on the menu is fresh

spaghetti and gnocchi thatis served with sausage madein-house and Italian-grownporcini mushrooms.“Sometimes, the custom-

ers don’t expect to have freshmade pasta. And they are

pleasantly surprised whenthey experience the differenceover dry, off the grocery shelfpasta,” Re said.Complimenting the food

menu is an extensive list ofdrinks including BiBo’s ownhouse wines.Locating at the mall was a

simple decision since the own-ership of BiBo was alreadyvery familiar with McArthur-Glen’s mall property not farfrom Milan.“I also know McArthurGlen

very well. I am originally fromthat area, as well, and knowit’s a very successful compa-ny,” Re said, adding BiBo willbe adding to the mall’s vibrantstreetscape by setting up anoutdoor patio section that willadd another 20 seats.“Come June, that will be a

very nice area to sit and enjoysome bne food from BiBo,”he said.For more information on

Spring is upon us and for many peoplethis means the beginning of seasonalallergies (hayfever).

Hayfever is an inappropriateimmune response by the body to essentiallyharmless substances.

Common symptoms include itchyeyes, runny nose, sneezing, wheezing andheadaches. People often mistake thesesymptoms for a common cold. However, acold will usually accompany these symptomswith a fever.

Standard but effective treatmentsinclude using specific herbal medicines,homeopathic medicines and glandularsubstances.This treatment plan will reducethe body’s inappropriate immune response thereby treating

allergies from the cause rather than treatingjust the symptoms unlike most over-the-counter medications. There are no sideeffects, dependencies, toxicities, drowsinessor rebound congestion associated withnatural remedies.

Recent advances in the treatment ofallergies include intravenous Vitamin ther-apy. This involves using large amounts ofspecific nutrients injected directly intothe bloodstream. Once again the result isrelieving the body’s inappropriate immuneresponse and subsequently alleviatingthe symptoms for months at a time. Thistreatment is an option for those patientswho do not like taking pills three or four

times a day for months.

Naturopathic services are covered through extended health plans.

Keeper having a ball with other passion

Daniel Judkowicz wants noth-ing more than to back-stop

Richmond United into the Provin-cial “A” Cup Championships eventhough he won’t be available forthe showcase tournament.The talented goalkeeper helped

his upstart 1999 Metro team pulloff a 3-2 quarter-final upset inpenalty kicks over 1998 Unitedin an all-Richmond U18 Coastal“A” Cup quarter-final match-upSaturday at Hugh Boyd. The resultputs the 1999s significantly closerto returning to the provincials inearly July.That’s when Judkowicz’s other

passion is taking him to England.The Grade 10 student at

McRoberts Secondary will be inTeam Canada colours at the WorldJunior Ball Hockey Championshipsin Sheffield. He earned a spot onthe Canadian roster after havinga leading role for the gold medalwinning U15 West Coast Wol-verines at the 2015 Nationals inNewfoundland.The selection process also

factored in his play at the WesternCup Challenge last summer. Hewill be joined by his Richmond/South Delta Ball Hockey Asso-ciation teammate Thomas vanVeenendal.“I remember going to (the B.C.

team) tryouts and not expectingmuch,” recalled Judkowicz. “Itdidn’t take long to realize we weresome of the better players andwe actually had a shot at makingit. Then we played our hardestat nationals and won. I just neverexpected to be on Team Canadaone day.“At the beginning of the soccer

season, one of the first things I

did was check the schedule andrealized Team Canada would begoing at the same time. I feel badfor (potentially) abandoning thembut we already have contactedsomeone to come in.“This opportunity is like a dream

come true. I just played ballhockey for fun and never thoughtthis could happen.”Judkowicz participated in the

long-running Richmond CosomHockey League when he wasencouraged to try ball hockeyin the spring as well. He initiallycontinued to play in net until a seri-ous condition prevented him frombending his knees and kept himsidelined for six months.When he did return to the arena,

he switched to playing defenseand has never looked back. Hisathleticism allows him to be a two-way standout and his leadership isevident too. He has been a captainor assistant on every team he hasplayed for in the past six years.“When you are playing goalie,

there are just some things youcan’t control compared to aplayer,” continued Judkowicz. “Ialso like to have that leadershiprole and I’m always talking to myteammates.”Judkowicz nearly quit soccer a

couple of seasons ago until beingencouraged to age up and tryout for the Richmond 1999 Metroteam. He not only made the rosterbut also serves as a mentor for theRichmond FC, initially as a volun-teer and now as a part-time paidposition, assisting with trainingsessions once a week.He also works in sales at a Rich-

mond soccer store which is help-ing pay for the opportunity to playfor Canada. The estimated cost ofthe trip is $3,100, with the nationalteam program receiving little in theway of funding.

When he is not playing sports orworking, Judkowicz also volun-teers as an assistant coach forRichmond/South Delta Ball Hock-ey, as well as at the Ladner LeisureCentre, for his potential interest ofbecoming a lifeguard one day.For now, his focus is helping his

soccer team continue its unex-pected march in the Coastal Cupplaydowns.Typically the U18 Division is

dominated by the second-yearteams, however, Richmond hasnow knocked off two of them and

will be looking for another victorySaturday against Coquitlam MetroFord in the semi-finals.“When I first came to tryouts

(a couple of years ago), it didn’ttake me long to realize I could winsomething with this team. It’s agreat group of players.”Corner kicks…Three other Richmond teams

also remain in the Coastal Cupplaydowns.U13 Rangers are off to the “B”

Cup semi-finals after their thrilling4-3 home field win over Surrey

United. Richmond will travel to Ab-botsford this weekend to take onthe AMF Lightning.On the girls side, the U18

Ravens have advanced to the “B”Cup final four with an impressive4-0 win over North Coquitlam. TheRavens will host Surrey FC Tigerson Sunday (11 a.m.) at HughBoyd.In girls “A” Cup play, U15 Rich-

mond FC will face Surrey UnitedGuildford in the semi-finals thanksto a 1-0 win over Vancouver FClast Sunday.

It proved to be quite the birthday bash forTroy Stecher.The smooth-skating Richmond Minor

Hockey almuni turned 22 on Thursday andproceeded to help the University of NorthDakota win their first NCAA championship in16 years.The Fighting Hawks capped a memorable

campaign with a 5-1 win over Quinnipiac onSaturday in Tampa. It was their third straighttrip to the Frozen Four and the program’seight national title.Stecher was also named a Second Team

West All-American. He was North Dakota’stop scoring defenseman with eight goals and

21 assists in 42 games, to go along with aplus-23 rating. His 29 points was a careerhigh and tied him for sixth place in the nationamong blueliners. He became the first NorthDakota defenseman to earn All-Americanhonours in five years.The NCAA championship is the latest ac-

complishment in Stecher’s decorated careerthat began with being part of a talented 1994age group coming through Richmond Minor.His last game in a Blues uniform was the

Bantam Tier One provincial championshipgame when Richmond fell to Abbotsford.That team featured several players who wenton to play in the Western and B.C. Junior

Hockey Leagues.Stecher then played a year of Major Midget

with the Greater Vancouver Canadians wherehe earned team MVP honours and impres-sively jumped to the BC Hockey Leaguewhere he enjoyed three outstanding seasonswith the powerhouse Penticton Vees.It was highlighted but the 2011-12 cam-

paign when Penticton captured RBC nationaljunior “A” championship and Stecher wasnamed the Top Defenseman of the playoffswith 15 points in 26 games.A year later, he was team captain and

honoured as the Top Defenseman in theBCHL’s Interior Conference. Stecher also

twice played for Canada West at the WorldJunior Challenge.He originally was taking his colligate career

to the University of Nebraska but later de-committed and agreed to a full-ride scholar-ship offer from North Dakota after visitingUniversity of Western Michigan as well.Having been passed over in the NHL

Draft, Stecher is considered one of collegehockey’s top free agents and is expectedto generate interest from a number of NHLteams, including the Vancouver Canucks.The pending offers will impact a difficult deci-sion on whether he returns to North Dakotafor his senior season.
