THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:

Are you glad to see the backof the HST?

Cast your vote atwww.richmond-news.com

webpollQUESTION:

Do you intend to vote in nextmonth’s B.C. election?

Yes (84%)

No (16%)

And...they’re offin the race for

RichmondThe political starting gates for the great B.C. stakes flew

open yesterday with 14 runners vying for three spots inRichmond’s winner’s enclosure on May 14.

In what has been the sleepiest of electoral hollows in recentprovincial elections — due mainly to embarrassingly poorvoter turnout and to Liberal dominance — at least two of thecity’s three ridings are far from the fait accomplis of the past.

Veteran Liberal Linda Reid is fully expected to canter to hersixth campaign in a row in Richmond-East. However, the for-merly safe seats of Richmond-Steveston and Richmond Centreare very much up for grabs.

Despite neither living in Richmond, two Asian candidates,look set to go toe-to-toe for the Liberals and NDP in a poten-tially head-bobbing finish to Richmond-Centre.

And further south, the Liberal’s incumbent, John Yap, willhave to work harder than he’s ever done to maintain his posi-tion as MLA for Steveston after an eventful March which sawhim implicated as part of his party’s “Ethnicgate” voter scan-dal, which forced him to step down as a Cabinet minister.

He faces some credible challenges this time in the shape ofthe BC Tories’ Carol Day — a former school trustee and anti-jet fuel campaigner — and the NDP’s former Mountie ScottStewart.

Over the next four weeks, the News will be shining thespotlight on each riding and their candidates in a bid to helpthe people of Richmond decide who should represent them inVictoria for the next four years.

A painful blister may havehelped a Richmond marathon run-ner escape serious injury or evendeath Monday after a pair of bombsexploded near the finish line of theBoston Marathon.

Three people were killed andhundreds more were injured afterthe explosions on Monday.

Following the tragic race, TracyMarshall, 48, wrote to one of herfellow members of the StevestonAthletic Association that she soughtmedical treatment for her foot at a

nearby medical station immediatelyafter crossing the finish line.

Marshall’s finish time wasclocked at four hours and five min-utes, just under five minutes beforethe first of two explosions rockedthe street, sending debris and smokeinto the air.

Thirteen seconds later a secondexplosion was set off nearby.

“Yes, I am fine, thank God. Icame in at 4:05 and, because of apainful blister, I headed straight tothe medical tent, just on the otherside of the finish,” wrote Marshall,one of five Richmond runners reg-istered in the historic race. “Four

minutes later we all hear two explo-sions, one right after the other.Within a minute, medical personnelstarted rushing in the injured fortreatment.”

Marshall went on to write thescene was “scary and a bit surreal.”

“There was a police officer beingrushed in on a wheelchair, crying. Iknew then something pretty awfulhad happened. I get emotional now,

just remembering it. I also feelblessed to be okay.”

Marshall reassured her friendsshe was okay, but just a little shakenby the events.

According to results postedon the Boston Marathon website,fellow Richmond runners JohnDumont and Tony Lopes crossed thefinish line at around the three hourand 20 minute mark.

Unable to finish the race whenthe course was closed were GeorgePopov, 60, and Ellen Wong, 61.

Their last posted times put themon the race route at roughly twohours into the event.

Vancouver police haveseized a large amount ofweapons, cash and drugsin what they’re calling a“sophisticated” traffick-ing network believed tobe linked to the UnitedNations gang.

Early last month,officers in the southeastdistrict of Vancouver weretipped off about the group,leading to the simultane-ous search Thursday ofthree homes in Vancouverand Richmond.

Officers seized ahandgun, two replicaguns, body armour, about$50,000 in cash and asignificant amount ofcocaine and heroin. Fivecars allegedly used fortransporting drugs werealso seized.

Four men have sincebeen arrested: two fromRichmond aged 22 and31, a 25-year-old Surreyresident, and a 25-year-old from Vancouver. Theycould face drugs andweapon charges.

The seizures andarrests “will significantlydisrupt the street level dis-tribution of drugs in thisregion of Vancouver,” saidInsp. Mike Serr.

The sale of the Steveston secondaryschool land has been approved by theMinistry of Education.

The Richmond School District can nowreview submissions from potential purchas-ers and expects to make a decision shortly,according to a pressrelease.

“We look forward toworking with the provin-cial and local governmentsas we work towards thesale and development ofthis property,” said DonnaSargent, Education Boardchair.

The property was putup for sale to privatedevelopers in 2007, butwas put on hold becausethe province refused approval, stating pub-lic lands should be kept in the hands of thepublic.

When district staff approached theministry in January about selling the landagain, it had hoped a poor economy wouldencourage the province to reconsider,according to secretary treasurer Mark de

Mello.The district wants to use the money from

the sale for a new school in the fast-grow-ing city centre, estimated to cost around$40 million.

“The proceeds of this sale will stay inRichmond and be used for the betterment ofthe students in Richmond,” said De Mello.

The approval means the district can nowlook at potential buyers.

The board has cre-ated a set criterion forthe developer, whichincludes a commitmentto a transparent consulta-tion process of develop-ment involving Richmondresidents and creating aquality development thatleaves a legacy.

However, the city willalso have a say in what isdeveloped because it con-

trols zoning.Currently, the land is zoned for educa-

tional purposes only. Any change to thatwould have to be approved by council.

Previously, it was determined that theSteveston secondary school land was nolonger needed by the district, due to a pro-jected lack of growth in the area.

A TRADITION OF TRUST

Attention Lower Mainland Home Owners:23 of you are about to make an important financial decision...

“Frustrated Contractor ‘Giving Away’ $5136 Furnacesfor $1181 with Off-Season Central Air ...”

NO MONEY DOWN, NO PAYMENTS AND INTEREST FREE TIL 2014*(This is the Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century” ... especially if your furnace is over 8 years old)

Dear FriendI’m about to make you a deal that’s

hard to refuse if you’ve got an “older”(and probably less than optimally efficient)furnace.I’ll replace your old furnace AND heatpump as a “package deal” for at least$3136.00 less than you would pay anyother time of the year.

Sound too good to be true?It’s not and here’s why. I’m making

you what sounds like an unbelievable offerbecause it actually makes good sense formy business. And you come out a winner,as well!

You see, I know from experience that inmy slowest months I actually end up losingmoney ... then I have to spend the rest of theyear trying to make up for it. Right now, Ihave no reason to believe 2013 will be anydifferent.

That’s why I’ve decided to give up tryingto make a profit during these months andminimize my losses ... so I can come outahead the rest of the year.So here’s how I can make the incredibleoffer at the top of this letter.

Every year the biggie furnacemanufacturers guesstimate how manyfurnaces to produce. Since there’s no way ofknowing what the weather will be like andother factors that affect sales, these guysalways have leftover inventory they have tohold onto until the next heating season.

I saw a great business opportunity in thisand went to one of these biggie companies(they won’t allow me to use their name inthis letter) and contracted for the purchaseof these furnaces that were going to just besitting around. Plus, I bought 23 heat pumpsall in the 3 most popular sizes used in LowerMainland homes.

Because of the number I bought andthe time of year I purchased them, I got anunbelievable deal ... rock-bottom prices.

Don’t get me wrong - these arebrand-new, top quality, 2013 models. Not“seconds.” Not “blems.” Not builder-grade.These are premium furnaces and heat pumpsfresh from a name-brand factory with a fullfactory warranty.How to Get Your Name Brand Furnacefor Virtually Nothing

By putting together this furnace-plus-heat pump package (I call it the “HottestAND Coolest Deal of the Century”), goingthrough some heavy negotiations withthe manufacturer, and then committing to

buying 23 systems outright, I got BOTH thefurnace AND the heat pump at a price thatwould have made Sam Walton proud. Thismeans when you buy one of these 23 new,premium-quality heat pumps I will “give”you the furnace and ask you to pay onlythe $1181 in labor it costs to install yourfurnace.Pick up your phone right now

Simply call me at 946-1000 at anytimeso I can come out and measure your home(to see if I’ve got the proper size unit).Remember ... I’ve got only 23 matchedsystems in 3 sizes so you’ll want to let meknow VERY SOON that you’re interested.When these 23 systems are gone, they’regone, and this offer is null and void. Call meright now so we can get the ball rolling!

As part of the deal, I’ll show you howmuch the heat pump costs ... how muchthe furnace WOULD have cost ... and yoursavings when you buy your new heat pumpand furnace as part of this special offer. Theprice I show you will include all installationmaterials and labor. There’s no fine print,nothing left out.Earlier I said that making you thisamazing offer is also good business for me

The way I look at it, by letting YOU winbig now, I’ll win at the end of the year. AndI won’t have to “make up” for the lost salesduring my slowest months.

I figure if I make you an absolutelyirresistible offer .. if your furnace is pushing8 years or more ... and if I barely mark upthe price I paid, I’ll accomplish 2 majorobjectives that will allow me to reduce mylosses the rest of the year. I’ll be able to ...

• Pay my overhead (rent, utilities,insurance and taxes) during the slowperiod

• Keep my service & installationtechnicians busy enough to pay them towork instead of sit at home.As you can see, when you take me up

on my “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of theCentury,” EVERYONE IS A WINNER!And by the way, there’s no obligationwhen you have me come out to measureyour house and explain the installation

If you decide you don’t want to takeadvantage of this incredible deal (althoughI can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want tosave this kind of money), it’s no problem.You’re not obligated in any way. In fact, justfor taking time to read this letter and havingme out to survey your house ... I’ll giveyou a Very Special Free Gift Coupon ($50

value). Why? Even if we don’t do businesstogether now, I want you to remember us inthe future.If you’re thinking a new furnace (& heatpump) isn’t in your budget - don’t worry!You don’t have to pay me right now

Because I’ve tried to think of everyreason possible why you WOULDN’Ttake me up on this spectacular offer, I’veeven made arrangements for a super bankrate financing plan. And I’m not “markingup” the interest rate like so many othercompanies do.

While I can’t promise you this, it’spossible that with this financing plan yourmonthly investments in a new system couldbe more than paid for by the savings you seeon your monthly utility bills.My Disappointment-Proof Guarantee

Talking about lower utility bills, I’m sosure you’ll see at least a 25% cut in yourheating and cooling bills (in reality, it maybe more like 35%+), if you don’t I’ll pay youtwice the difference for 2 years.

Not only are you getting a new,first-quality furnace virtually free, plus afirst-quality heat pump at a great price, Iguarantee you’ll lower your heating andcooling bills by at least 25% or I’ll pay youdouble your savings for 2 years. (This aloneshould convince you that these systemsare some of the very best quality and mostefficient available).But you’ve got to act fast ... call me at 946-1000 right now! This offer ends April 30thno matter what

Don’t wait to call me. Here’s why. I haveonly 8 of each of the 3 sizes. When all of theair conditioners are sold and all the furnaces“given away” in a certain size, the “HottestAND Coolest Deal of the Century” is over.

And if I still have any of the 23 systemsleft on April 30th, this offer still ends. Thereason is that my business only slows downfor a short time. Since these furnaces costme so little, if I’ve got any left, I’ll sell themnext winter at last year’s prices and stillcome out ahead.So call me right now at 946-1000

Thanking you in advance,Scott Campbell

OwnerP.S. Remember, there’s no obligation

and - even if you change your mind onceI measure your house and give you theestimate - you still get that Free Gift Couponworth $50.

EDITORIAL OPINION

This week, Canadians finally noticed and vented theirwrath about the temporary foreign worker program.Started to address acute short-term labour shortages,

the program has expanded and run amok, aided by the willfulblindness of its supposed regulators.

Corporate Canada’s dirty little secret is that the programallows businesses to import foreign workers for a wide rangeof jobs that Canadians could do, but at 15 per cent less pay.

The RBC scandal is the most obvious example. There,skilled Canadian workers were clearly being replaced. Butsimilar issues have been raised about HD Mining’s insistencethat it had to bring in Chinese miners for a B.C. project, anissue now being heard in court. It’s also curious that 10 or 20years ago, coffee shops like Tim Hortons functioned just finewithout the program.

The truth is Canada doesn’t have a labour shortage. It has ashortage of really cheap labour.

But the race to the bottom has been fully embraced by manyCanadian corporations, most of which — like RBC — areturning enormous profits, while wrapping themselves in theflag.

They have a lot to answer for. It also strains credulity tobelieve the feds issued permits to almost 340,000 temporaryforeign workers without any eyebrows being raised or ques-tions being asked.

Ottawa allowed the program to expand on the ideologicalfallacy that what’s good for Canadian corporations must begood for Canadians. Clearly that’s not the case.

It’s time for the government to step up and close the loop-holes.

The election campaign isofficially underway, whichmeans British Columbianswill have to endure 28 daysof overblown rhetoric, per-sonal invective, half-truthsand hypocrisy.

And it will come fromthe entire range of the polit-ical spectrum. No matterwho wins the vote on May14, no party will emergewith clean hands.

The two major parties— the NDP and the B.C.Liberals — would haveyou believe, for example,that they have completelyopposite approaches to theprovince’s finances.

However, both partieswant to raise corporateincome taxes. Both partieswant to raise income taxeson the rich.

Of course, the NDPwants a 12 per cent corpo-rate tax rate while the B.C.Liberals prefer an 11 percent rate. I suppose the for-mer is unbridled socialism,while the latter is unfetteredcapitalism.

The B.C. Liberals arein the midst of runningfour and possibly five defi-cit budgets and the NDPintends to table three con-secutive deficit budgets.

The B.C. Liberals willhave doubled the provin-cial debt during their timein office, which is exactlywhat the NDP did duringtheir administration in the1990s.

The B.C. Liberals haveprovided massive spendinghikes to the health care sys-tem. The NDP intends to dothe same.

Do I sense a patternhere?

About the only real dif-ference between the twoparty’s fiscal plans is theNDP’s plan to re-introducea tax on banks and financialinstitutions.

The NDP would alsoexpand activities that arecaptured by the carbon tax(a tax created, of course, bythe B.C. Liberals).

Does this really repre-sent a yawning ideologicalschism between the twoparties, or does it merelyindicate the rather grimfiscal reality facing eitherparty should it win the elec-tion?

Yet, on the campaigntrail, I’m sure we’ll hearthe NDP talk about howthe B.C. Liberals havesomehow “cut” health carespending, no matter howmisleading (and wrong)such a statement really is.

And the B.C. Liberalswill denounce the NewDemocrats as tax-and-spenders who will run updeficits, when they’ve doneexactly the same on ChristyClark’s watch.

Each party will wrapitself in a cloak of self-righ-teous indignation, portray-ing itself as the only com-petent alternative.

But brush all these

flotsam and jetsam asideand we’ll be left with twocentral campaign messagescoming from each of themajor parties.

For the B.C. Liberals,that message will be “it’s allabout trust”, as in: who canyou trust best with growingthe economy and handlingprovincial finances?

This will involve adouble-barrelled approachthat combines the partyboasting of its economicskills while portraying theNDP’s time in governmentas a complete disaster forthe province.

The NDP, meanwhile,will exploit the apparentwidespread desire for achange in government inthis province. Any party thatspends a more than a dozenyears in government pilesup a lot of baggage overthe years, and the NDP willremind voters of that bag-gage over and over again.

“Trust” and “change”are the key emotional issuesdriving the vote.

Of course, the two minor(for now) political parties— the B.C. Conservativesand the Greens — will tryto make their voices heardover the next month.

So hang on tight for thenext 28 days. The end resultwill be either a changein government, a miraclecomeback for all time, ora historic breakthrough byone of the minor parties.

But a lot of hot air willbe expelled first.

The Editor,Re: “Two young drivers suspected of racing sports cars,”

News, April 12.I read with dismay that again a trio of young drivers are

caught speeding in high-powered expensive cars.None of these drivers had a valid driver’s licence, yet

they were issued 15-day driving bans.How do you ban someone from driving when they do

not hold a valid B.C. licence in the first place?We need to get tougher on these driving issues and start

fining or taking away and selling these cars from the regis-tered owners who show little or no regard for the safety ofthe motoring public.

We need to hit them hard in the one place that theyseem to have lots of, and that is money.

Increase the fines 10-fold or sell off some of theirexpensive cars. Restrict the amount of horsepower a newdriver can have and maybe they will get the message thatour roads and highways are not a play-thing for the richand un-licensed drivers, whose only real driver experienceand training is to have watched the movie The Fast and theFurious.

The Editor,There’s an old saying that some

people are fond of: “Those that can’tdo, teach.”

I would suggest this sentiment wouldbe more appropriately associated withthose we elect to public office.

After all, it is very difficult to dis-pute author Robert Louis Stevenson’sobservation that “Politics is perhaps theonly profession for which no prepara-tion is thought necessary.”

Qualification standards for politicalcandidacy are minimal to say the least.There are no prior education or train-ing requirements, no specific body ofknowledge is necessary.

There are no exams to pass andno need to complete a practicum orapprenticeship — all in sharp contrastto what is required of those who teachin our public schools, police our streets,or care for us in our hospitals.

Of course, there are some politi-cians who have impressive educationalbackgrounds and exemplary expertise

in some areas, but the most intelligentand capable of our citizens tend not tobe interested in any kind of involvementwith the political world.

So, if Stevenson is right, on whatbasis do we determine how appropriateand/or sufficient a candidate’s qualifica-tions are for public office?

To our detriment, we are far too like-ly to be influenced by factors such asethnicity, charm and charisma, physicalappearance, religious affiliation and/ormedia-related impressions.

The processes of political campaign-ing and voting essentially become indis-tinguishable from those at work in themarketing and consuming of candy barsand potato chips.

Packaging becomes more importantthan content, and quick gratificationoverrides concern for long-term conse-quences.

It is important to note that when itcomes to occupational qualifications,we apply stringent criteria.

And yet, when we look to hand over

control of the important work of gov-ernment to certain aspiring individuals,we don’t seem to be anywhere near asconcerned about how suitable for thework they may or may not be.

In British Columbia, it seems we arecontent with repeatedly discovering theerrors of our voting ways well after thefact rather than being concerned withpaying more attention to the issues ofsuitability and qualifications at the frontend where we actually have some con-trol over matters.

There is one simple, but profoundlyimportant thing we can do to ensure thatwe lessen the likelihood of unqualifiedand undeserving people being elected topublic office.

We could, and should, require allcandidates to fully, openly and to oursatisfaction, answer the following ques-tion: “What qualifies you to be giventhe honour and privilege of a position ingovernment?”

The fourth of a 10-partseries

There is little predictabil-ity in asset class performancefrom one year to the next.

The moment anyone tellsyou differently, run quickly inthe opposite direction!

At the bottom of themarket in March of 2009, Ihad opinions from all sides — clients, otheradvisors, analysts, and the numerous talkingheads of the media.

Now that the dust has settled a bit, wehave seen that they were all wrong. Somewere close, but no one really knew. There isabsolutely no shame in that, as long as youknow what you don’t know going forward.

Because the sky was apparently fall-ing very quickly back then, many investorswanted to stay in conservative bonds. SinceMarch, 2009, those who invested accord-ingly grew a $100,000 portfolio to $122,000,not accounting for the poor tax efficiency ofbonds.

That’s okay, but let’s look at what wouldhave happened if they had decided to keepequities in their portfolios. To illustrate, I willreference portfolio information available tous from Dimensional Fund Advisors Canada.

From March of 2009 through February2013, investors would have grown a $100,000portfolio to $178,000 in Canadian equities,$191,000 in U.S. equities and $163,000 in thestock markets outside of North America.

In all cases, investors were rewardedconsistent with the risk they took. There wastruly no free lunch.

I wouldn’t have picked any of thoseinvestments alone, but I certainly would have

structured a portfolio usingall of them in a strategic bal-ance. They all have differentrandom patterns and that canwork for your benefit.

You see, when you mixthem all together, the risk isfar less than if you invested ineach one on its own. One use-ful analogy is to think of the

many squiggly threads that, woven together,make up a relatively smooth rope.

What I’m recommending here is no greatsecret to those who manage serious money.

The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) is aprime example. It invests approximately34 per cent of its $173 billion dollars intobonds and the remainder into equities spreadthroughout Canada, the U.S. and the world.

The BC Public Service Pension Plan hasapproximately 30 per cent in bonds and therest also invested in stocks around the world.

They both largely maintain those mixturesthrough thick and thin. I don’t believe yourportfolio should be invested any differently.

The greatest epiphany I have ever had as afinancial advisor was when I began to knowwhat I didn’t know.

When I say granola andmuesli, what pops into yourmind?

Probably that they’re twoof the countless modernbreakfast foods available inevery grocery store acrossNorth America.

Will it surprise you toknow that granola andmuesli were invented over a century ago,in sanatoria in the United States andSwitzerland respectively?

Often considered related, originally gra-nola and muesli had very different charac-ters, still intimated by the pronunciation oftheir names.

Say the Swiss word muesli — yourmouth purses and you look very prim, anappropriate expression to link to a foodassociated with healthful living.

Eat it and you feel disciplined andvirtuous. Now pronounce the Americangranola — instead of prim, you lookelated, raring to taste the first spoonful ofsomething that nowadays isn’t invariablyhealthful.

But wait a minute — the granola andmuesli that you buy today would be unrec-ognizable to someone from 100 years ago.

Let’s quickly review their history. Bothnames, granola and muesli, are descrip-tive, the first refering to its ingredients— grain — the second to its quality— “muesli,” which is Swiss German forpuree or mash. Granola, invented in 1887by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg of the BattleCreek Sanatorium in Michigan, originallyconsisted of ground-up biscuits of oats,wheat and corn meal.

Muesli’s creator is the Swiss Dr.Maximilian Bircher-Benner, who around1900 prescribed a balanced diet of rawfruits and vegetables for the patients at hissanatorium in Zurich.

He developed a mix consisting primari-ly of grated apple, citrus juice, oats, creamand nuts, which patients would eat before

a main meal.Freshly-made muesli

following Dr. Bircher’srecipe can still be found inSwitzerland and parts ofGermany.

I’ve had it for breakfastwhen staying at hotels inthe southwest Germanregion Baden-Württemberg,

and I’d return to those hotels for the mues-li alone.

You can recreate it in your own kitchen.For a single portion of Bircher mueslisoak 1 tablespoon rolled oats in 2-3 table-spoons lemon or orange juice until soft,then mix with one grated apple, a table-spoon of cream, and top with choppedhazelnuts or walnuts.

Not only muesli but also granola hassuffered reprehensible transformation bythe North American food industry.

They’ve laced it with various unwhole-some ingredients, turning it into more of asugary snack than a healthy meal.

Thank goodness it’s so easy to makeyour own granola and decide exactly whatgoes into it.

In July 2009 the New York Times pub-lished an intriguing recipe for granolawith olive oil, which I’ve altered slightly.

My version — in large bowl mix 3 cupsrolled oats, 1 ½ cups sunflower seeds, 1cup pumpkin seeds, 1 cup unsweetenedshredded coconut, ¾ cup maple syrup,½ cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoonkosher salt, ½ teaspoon cinnamon; bakeon rimmed cookie sheet at 300 degrees for45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.

More recently I’ve made a savoury ver-sion, simply eliminating the maple syrup,cinnamon and coconut.

Although I sing the praises of Birchermuesli, I can’t deny that there’s somethingdevilishly delicious about granola — inmy healthful adaptations, naturally.

Like most of Americaduring the 1960s, Texas waswrought with race riots andstrife.

But it was still a placewhere gospel music thrivedamongst black communities,mixing the old world with anew, changing one.

For Marcus Mosely —who sang in the church choirand had a mother alwayswith a song under her breath— his foray into gospelmusic was part of growingup and was set against thebackdrop of the civil rightsmovement.

“I saw how, as peoplewould march for their rights,they would sing these gospelsongs to bolster their spir-its,” said the now Vancouverresident.

“I’d watch as they’d marchinto rows of policemen with

guns andsticks,singing‘I ShallNot BeMoved’or ‘WeShall

Overcome’. It gave thempower.”

Mosely is now bring-ing the rich sounds of theMarcus Mosely Chorale toRichmond for the first timethis Friday, April 19 at theFraserview Church.

After leaving Texas, hetraveled the world singingand starred in several pro-ductions such as Show Boat.

A few years ago, he beganhis own gospel choir with themandate of inclusivity, influ-enced by what he witnessedin Texas.

The choir addresses socialjustice issues through thismandate and the songs.

“I’ve seen peopleoppressed, so how can I turnaround and oppress some-body else?” Mosely said.“Everyone is struggling fortheir own type of freedom, tobe recognized.”

“It’s the greatest choir,”said Colin Foo, one of thechoir’s Richmond residents.“It’s not truly religious, butmore focused on the style ofgospel music.”

Unlike a traditional gos-pel choir, the members comefrom a various faiths. Thesingers also incorporate con-

temporary hits such as “Whatif God was One of Us?” byJoan Osborne or the Beatles’“Hello, Goodbye”.

Foo was part of a previ-ous choir where Mosely wasthe musical director, andonce Mosely broke off toform his own chorale, Foofollowed. Every Monday,the Richmond actor treks toVancouver for rehearsal.

“It’s a wonderful experi-ence,” said Foo, excitedly.“We never say people cannotsing, people who love to singwill find a way to do so.”

His enthusiasm was infec-tious for fellow Richmondresident Michael Levan, whoworks at a store in TerraNova. Levan saw the choraleperform last fall and recog-nized Foo when he came intothe store.

“He convinced me to join,so I did,” said Levan. “AndI’ve been loving it ever since.Friday will be my first per-formance. I’m not so muchnervous, just very excitedabout it.”

With little backgroundin singing and almost noknowledge of gospel music,Levan has now developed anappreciation for the genre.

As a physician inRichmond, Shel Nathansonwas always aware of the

healing powers of music. Butjoining the Marcus MoselyChorale allowed him to expe-rience it first hand.

“I’ve often seen howmusic improves one’s mentalstate and helps people getover some severe illnesses,it’s something they can turnto,” he said.

A number of profession-als also jumped on boardbecause they liked the choir’svision, including musicaldirectors Bill Sample andLonnie Delisle.

“Our goal is to celebrate

music,” said Mosely. “Noone will ever feel preachedat.”

Friday’s performance

includes guests TheSojourners, an award-win-ning trio Mosely is also partof. The performance starts at

8 p.m. To purchase tickets,visit www.themarcusmose-lychorale.ca or call 778-340-1818.

They commented casually on each oth-er’s paintings, laughing, joking and nudgingone another on the side — as most Grade6s and 7s do.

And as the clock ticked towards 10:45a.m., the collective anticipation of morningrecess had bonded the students, blurringany lines that had previously divided thegroups.

Such has been the success of the ArtsConnection program, it was difficult to tellwhich students were from a low incomeDowntown Eastside neighbourhood andwhich were from the affluent confines ofSteveston.

The children — who were either act-ing out role-playing improv or paint-ing together — are made up of studentsfrom Vancouver’s Admiral Seymour andRichmond’s Westwind elementaries.

The unlikely crossing of their pathswas the brainchild of Arts Connectionfounder Linda Shirley, who was moved bya story that a Seymour teacher had to shareher food with a student and whose fatherattended Seymour in his day.

“It’s been going really well, even betterthan we expected,” said Lindsay McCarthy,visual and performing arts director at theArts Connection in Steveston.

“The kids have been very receptive and

in the theatre group, they’ve really putthemselves out there.

“We buddied them up, with each classhalf and half from each school. The interac-tion between the kids has been very goodand they’re starting to get to know eachother.”

Last week was the third visit from the

Vancouver school, explained McCarthy.“Each time they come, they have theatre

and a day of class, sometimes even hip-hop,” she added.

On their previous visit, the kids fromboth schools formed small groups and tookpictures of a tree outside the facility, witheach group taking pictures of different

parts of the tree.The pictures were printed out and last

week they painted them.While their creations were coming

to life, the other half of the group wasimmersed downstairs in performing arts,doing improv to be precise.

“Today the kids are re-connecting andthere seems to be a little more integrationbetween the two schools, they’re certainly alittle friendlier,” said Lael Sleep, an inner-city project teacher at Seymour, who laudedthe benefits of the pro-gram for her students.

“They’re beingexposed to different artforms that they’ve neverbeen exposed to beforeand it’s a chance to getout of the city and meetother kids from other schools.”

Later this month, the students will cometogether one more time for a celebration,with all their artwork going on display andup for auction.

“They might also do some skits, whoknows,” said McCarthy.

The Community Arts Council ofRichmond also secured some grants for theprogram to help Seymour, which is in oneof the poorest postal codes in the country.

During their visits, the students havebeen rotating through visual arts, dance,and drama.

The Richmond Sockeyes willbe representing B.C. at this week’sKeystone Cup Western Canadianjunior “B” hockey championshipsin Manitoba after capturing theirfifth Cyclone Taylor Cup in fran-chise history.

The Pacific International JuniorHockey League champions cappeda dominating run at the four-teamtournament in Courtenay with a4-1 victory over Vancouver Islandleague representative VictoriaCougars on Sunday afternoon.Richmond actually trailed 1-0 after20 minutes before taking controlon second period goals by JeremyHamaguchi, Jake Roder, LiamLawson and Rudi Thorsteinson.Kootenay Alder got the win in net.

The Sockeyes won all fourgames at the provincials and nowhave a sparkling 16-3 post-seasonrecord. Their only losses came ina seven game series win over theDelta Ice Hawks in the PIJHLsemi-finals.

Richmond begins play Thursdayin St. Malo against Albertachampions Oktoks Bisons. OtherKeystone Cup participants include:Saskatoon Royals (Saskatchewan),Peguis Juniors (Manitoba),Northern Hawks (Ontario) andthe host St. Malo Warriors. Thetournament concludes next Sundaywith the top two teams in round-robin play meeting for gold at 11a.m. (PDT). The Sockeyes won theevent in 2009 and were runners-upin 2004. Abbotsford won the 2012tournament and will hosting next

year’s event.Richmond’s run to gold in

Courtenay began the same wayit finished — a 5-2 win lastThursday over Victoria. It was justthe fourth loss this season in regu-lation time for the Cougars.

Daniell Lange, Daniel Tait,Hamaguchi, Thorsteinson andAllison had the Richmond goals.

The Sockeyes then dumped thehost Comox Valley Glacier Kings6-2 Friday behind a hat trick fromJake Roder. Allison chipped in

with a pair and Thorsteinson alsoscored, while Kootenay Alderturned aside 18 shots.

It’s a good thing the Richmond Sockeyeshave an ownership group that is passionateabout junior hockey and the storied fran-chise.

For the second time in five years, theSockeyes are headed to the Keystone CupWestern Canadian Championships and withthat comes a hefty bill.

After reaching deep in their pock-ets to attend the 2009 event in ThunderBay, Ontario, the Sockeyes are having todo it again, this time to get to St. Malo,Manitoba for the six team tournament thatstarts Thursday.

Moments after winning the CycloneTaylor Cup provincial championshipon Sunday afternoon in Courtenay, theSockeyes were scrambling to make travelarrangements.

B.C. Hockey provided no favours bypushing the provincials back a week for a

second straight year. The B.C. representa-tive was the only team not finalized prior tolast weekend.

It’s costing the club an estimated

$70,000 for the five day trip, whichincludes 35 last-minute airline tickets at$800 each. The hotel, team meals andground transportation also have to be takencare of. The only thing done for participat-ing teams was a block of hotel rooms hadbeen reserved. The Sockeyes will get asmall amount of money from the PacificInternational Junior Hockey League andcan also apply for a traveling grant fromB.C. Hockey but are on the hook for every-thing else.

Attending this year’s Westerns was a bigenough concern that potential participatingteams were asked back in January if theyintended on going. Cyclone Taylor Cuphosts Comox Valley Glacier Kings wereamong the clubs that declined.

The Sockeyes did generate some extrarevenue with this year’s playoff run butonly played eight home games in threeseries, thanks to sweeps of North Delta andAldergrove. They also won’t be dippinginto their highly successful scholarship

program that has several fund raiser eventsthroughout the year, including the annualalumni game.

“We are going to be reaching out for alittle bit of help but at the end of the daywe will be reaching into our wallets too,”said Doug Paterson, part of an owner-ship group that also includes his brotherRon, along with Maurice Lambert, BarryWatson and Bruce Mathers. “There was acost going to provincials too but we wantedto make sure that everyone who played abig part in our success this season had theopportunity to be there.

“This a great group of guys on and offthe ice that has a really good chance to getit done this week.”

The team leaves for St. Malo Wednesdaymorning and will return home Sunday orMonday.

There is good news should the Sockeyesenjoy similar success next season. The2014 Keystone Cup will be hosted by theAbbotsford Pilots.

Canadians have coaching vacancyLeland Mack steps down after 4 seasons running major midget hockey team

The Greater VancouverCanadians will have a newhead coach next season.

The B.C. Major MidgetHockey League clubannounced Monday LelandMack is stepping downafter four seasons at thehelm. He has accepted aposition to run the BurnabyWinter Club’s U16 acad-emy team.

Under Mack, theCanadians have been oneof the league’s top teams— reaching the provincialsemi-finals each season.His replacement will bedetermined through theleague’s annual coachingselection process, which isoverseen by B.C. Hockey.

All BCMMHL coachingassignments are volunteerpositions and Mack will bepaid to be part of the BWCAcademy staff. However,that’s not the reason behindhis decision. The PortMoody resident wantedto make his life easier

after the long commute topractices and games at theRichmond Olympic Oval.

“It was fun workingwith some great talentand having the opportu-nity to develop these guysfor the next step of theircareers,” said Mack whohas worked with the likesof current WHL scoringchampion Nic Petan. “I hadfull intentions of comingback until recently when Iwas making the trip out toRichmond for player exitinterviews. The drive justgot to me.

“It’s actually going to bea step down from being amajor midget head coachbut it presents a differentchallenge for me as well.More importantly, my lifeis going to become a littleeasier.”

Mack leaves theCanadians with someunfinished business andthat was the heartbreak ofnot getting past the Giantsin four consecutive play-off series with each goingthe distance. This season’s

encounter might have beenthe most painful of all asGreater Vancouver took theseries opener and had a 2-1 lead after 40 minutes ingame two, only to allow theGiants to rally back. TheCanadians also had a 3-1advantage in the decidinggame before surrenderingfour unanswered goals.

“It’s funny because youthink the progression wouldbe finally breaking throughafter knocking on the doorso many times,” reflectedMack. “I really thought thiswas going to be the year.

“The best chance wasdefinitely game two. Inhindsight, I thought we satback too much in the thirdperiod and it cost us. Wemight have had a two goallead in game three but wehadn’t played well up untilthat point.

Mack still will beheading to the other sideof the Fraser as a part-time instructor with theSouth Delta secondaryschool hockey academy.He will also continue asa scout with the SeattleThunderbirds.
