Mountie schooled in drunk driving defence: CrownThe Mountie charged in

the 2008 crash that killed aTsawwassen man had taken abreathalyzer course just threeyears before the fatal collision.

Cpl. Benjamin “Monty”Robinson faces a charge ofobstruction of justice in the Oct.25, 2008 crash that killed 21-year-old Orion Hutchinson, whodied after the motorcycle he wasdriving collided with Robinson’sJeep at the corner of 6th Avenueand Gilchrist Drive.

Robinson is one of the fourRichmond RCMP officersinvolved in the Tasering death ofRobert Dziekanski on Oct. 14,2007 at Vancouver InternationalAirport. He faces perjury chargesrelated to that case. The trial isset for April 8, 2013.

In his opening statementsMonday, Crown prosecutor KrisPechet painted a picture of a manwho knew exactly what he wasdoing in the moments followingthe crash.

Pechet told B.C. SupremeCourt Justice Janice Dillion thatRobinson, described as a veteranmember of the force, had com-pleted a 2005 breathalyzer train-ing course, which included thedefences of impaired driving.

The Crown will also call awitness from a 2007 Christmasparty where Robinson alleg-edly said the best way to beatan impaired driving charge is toleave your driver’s licence at thescene, go over to a nearby bar

and down a few shots, saying youdid so because you were shakenup from the crash, Pechet said.

Emotions ran high in court asthe first Crown witnesses testi-fied. Judith Hutchinson, Orion’smother, wept in the gallery asthe court heard from a Crownwitness who was on the scene ofthe crash mere moments after itoccurred.

Dale Hazel had been watch-ing a Canucks game at a friend’shouse that night and was gettingready to leave when they heard aloud bang.

The two men went outside tosee what had happened.

Hazel said Robinsonapproached him and his friend,told them to dial 911 and triedto give him his driver’s licenceas he left the scene of the crashwith his two children, aged 12and seven at the time. Hazel saidhe refused to take it, but anotherperson did.

“He was quite anxious to getaway from the scene, in my opin-ion.”

Fire, not crash, killed pilots: report

It was the fire after the crashand not the impact that mostlikely killed the two pilots ofill-fated Northern Thunderbirdflight 204.

Crash investigators havereleased their preliminary find-ings into the tragedy causedwhen the small aircraft faltereddramatically just half a mile shyof the runway at YVR on Oct.27 last year.

Pilot Luc Fortin, 44, and firstofficer Matt Robic, 26, diedafter their flight with seven pas-sengers on board suffered a mal-function and slammed onto RussBaker Way just after 4 p.m.

The interim TransportationSafety Board (TSB) report onthe crash states that, althoughthe impact injuries sustainedby passengers and crew were“survivable,” the post-impactfire “compromised that surviv-ability.”

“Both pilots suffered burns

as a result of the (fire) and laterdied as a consequence,” wrotechief TSB investigator BillYearwood.

Fortin died shortly after thecrash. Robic died after threeweeks in hospital. Their passen-gers suffered serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

Their plane had taken offfrom YVR bound for Kelowna,where the passengers plannedto attend a business conference,but turned around about

16,000 flock to Hockey DayCHUNG CHOW/RICHMOND NEWS

A competitive HaroldSteves races for the ball withCBC’s Ian Hanomansing atHockey Day in Canada lastSaturday.

If it had anything to do withhockey, it was at the Olympicoval.

The B.C. version ofScotiabank Hockey Day inCanada attracted around 16,000people to the Richmond venueas part of a nationwide celebra-tion of the sport.

The event featured dozens ofkid-friendly activities as well asCanucks legend Trevor Linden,who spent the day signing auto-graphs for hordes of fans.

A vast array of hockey-relat-ed entertainment was availableto the thousands who turnedout in the name of the country’sfavourite sport.

Postal workers not supported following tragedy: UnionLABOUR

Workers at the Canada Post’sletter carrier depot in Richmondshowed up wearing yellow ribbonsMonday in memory of a colleaguewho died last Thursday (Feb. 9).

The worker left the depot theprevious Friday (Feb. 3). When shedidn’t show up for work Monday(Feb. 6), authorities were called.She was found and taken to hos-pital and put on life support, butdied three days later.

“When the announcement wasmade on Friday, (that the woman

had died) people broke down andwere just told to go out on theirroutes. They weren’t given anysupport,” said union representativeJohn Bail.

Bail, a national officer with theCanadian Union of Postal Workers(CUPW), went down to the twodepots where the woman hadworked Monday to talk to work-ers and challenge management toprovide critical incident counsel-ing and other forms of support forstaff.

Not only should there be moresupport for workers in relation tothis particular incident, but also

workers need help dealing with thestress of longer routes and chal-lenging working conditions, saidBail.

The union is also looking intoclaims that the woman who diedhad sought support from manage-ment and, if that was the case,how that request was handled, saidBail.

Since restructuring two yearsago, there have been 11 workplaceinjuries, Bail said. There hadn’tbeen any workplace injuries thetwo years prior to that, he added.

As a result of restructuring, 20routes were cut and the existing

routes were extended by 10 percent to cover the difference.

Bail and others attempted toconfront management about theworking conditions, but accord-ing to Bail, she told them theyneeded to go through a specialistin Ottawa.

Anick Losier, a spokeswomanfor Canada Post, said she felta comment would be “inap-propriate.” However, she added,“Canada Post has an employeeassistance program and otherchecks and balances to ensure ouremployees have the support theyfeel they need.”

NewsReport: Pilot did his best

Hazel also described seeing two womenattempting to find Hutchinson’s pulse andperform CPR before emergency respondersarrived.

The court also heard from the womanwho hosted the Halloween party Robinsonhad attended with his children before thecrash. She said she had seen Robinson witha drink in the hours he was at the party, butcould not recall what he was drinking orhow many.

On Tuesday, the court will hear testimo-ny from Delta police Const. Sarah Swallow,the officer who dealt with Robinson afterhe returned to the scene of the crash.

The defence is apply-ing to have her evidenceruled inadmissible. Theofficer will take thestand tomorrow during avoid dire, a trial withina trial used to determinethe admissibility of evi-dence.

Robinson’s obstruction of justice chargestems from his actions following the crash.The officer left the scene of the collision,which occurred at about 10:30 p.m., andwalked home, a short distance away.

He returned 10 minutes later andadvised police he had two beers at a partyearlier and two shots of vodka at home.

He was arrested and given two breatha-lyzer tests at 11:56 p.m. and 12:16 a.m.Robinson’s readings registered at .12 and.10. The legal limit is .08.

Delta police recommended Robinsonbe charged with impaired driving causingdeath, but Crown counsel decided not toproceed with the charge.

Before court started Monday,

Hutchinson made an emotional statement toreporters gathered outside the courthouse.

“It is incomprehensible to us and anoutrage that it has taken almost three and ahalf years to come to this point,” she said.“During which time this person has contin-ued to receive full pay with benefits whilewe’ve suffered.”

“Regardless of the outcome, nothing canmake our loss less painful,” she said. “Wereverently hope that the outcome of the trialensures that this individual is not permit-ted to continue in a position of public trustbecause given his track record we feel thatwould be an utter and complete travesty.”

Robinson, 42, was the senior officer onduty when Dziekanski,40, died at VancouverInternational Airportafter he was repeatedlyshot with a Taser stungun on Oct. 14, 2007.

Thomas Braidwood,the retired judge whoheaded a public inquiry

into the tragedy, found the four officersmishandled the situation by approachingDziekanski as though they were dealingwith a pub brawl instead of a distraught andexhausted visitor who had spent more than10 hours in the airport after arriving fromPoland.

The Crown concluded there was nowrongdoing on the part of the officers,so charges were never laid. But afterBraidwood’s report found the officers’testimony was “unbelievable,” a govern-ment appointed special prosecutor recom-mended Robinson and three other Mountiesinvolved in the Dziekanski incident shouldbe charged with perjury.

Perjury charges were approved by theCrown in March of last year.

15 minutes into the afternoonflight somewhere over Golden EarsProvincial Park after the pilotsreported a problem.

The report stated that the crashwas classified as a “loss of controlaccident,” but added that it wasworking to determine what rolecritical control speed played andwhat effect aircraft design had onpost-impact fire survivability.

The board noted it had made anumber of mechanical and designretrofit recommendations toimprove post-impact fire survivalrates in a 2006 report, recommen-dations that have been “largelyignored” by industry regulators.

The report stated the pilotsnoted an oil leak from the left engine andheaded back to YVR without declaring anemergency, as the engine did not lose power.But then, about 300 metres above ground andless than half a kilometre from the runway,“the aircraft suddenly banked left and pitchednose-down.”

It said the pilot did his best to right theplane. “The approach to the runway at YVRwas normal until the last moments beforethe anticipated touch down. The aircraftslowed below its target approach speed andseconds later, the aircraft banked left (about80 degrees) and pitched nose-down (about50 degrees). The captain was able to level thewings and pull the nose up slightly beforeimpact with a paved road.”

In the process, an oncoming car swervedto get out of the way and was clipped by theplane’s left wing. As it hit the ground, theplane’s landing gear collapsed and, as it skid-ded on its belly, it shed parts and fuel andburst into flame near the right wing.

The TSB reported the first fire crews wereon scene within three minutes. By that time,all but one of the passengers had escapedthrough the main door. Crews rescued theseventh and then tried to get the two pilotsout of the cockpit amid the flames. After put-ting out the fire, they succeeded in gettingthe two men out.

“While all the persons on board sustainedserious bone fractures from the impact decel-eration forces, those injuries were surviv-able,” the TSB found. “The post-impact firecompromised that survivability. Both pilotssuffered burns as a result of the post-impactfire and later died as a consequence.”

The plane, a Beechcraft King Air 100, waspowered by an engine model that had recentlybeen the subject of advisories about faultyreplacement parts.

The TSB is now in the second phase of itsinvestigation, analyzing its data, before writ-ing its final report.

A Supreme Court juryon Thursday ordered formerpremier Bill Vander Zalm topay $60,000 in damages fordefaming ex- conflict-of-interest commissioner TedHughes.

The award came after aday of deliberations by theseven-member jury and aone-week trial in Vancouver.

“I must tell you that I’msatisfied with the judg-ment,” said Hughes, 84, out-side court. “I’ve been in thejustice system for over 60years and it was a very realexperience seeing it operateso well from the other side.

“I’m grateful for thestudy and the attention thejury gave the matter.”

Vander Zalm, 77, whowas present throughout thetrial and gave testimony,wasn’t present in court forthe verdict.

But reached by phoneThursday, he said he was“very disappointed” withthe verdict.

“I had my book checkedout by two lawyers beforeit was published to makesure it wasn’t libellous, butI guess the jury saw it dif-ferently.”

Vander Zalm, whowas premier from 1986 to1991, when he was forcedto resign over the FantasyGardens scandal, said whatdisappointed him most wasthe length of time it tookHughes to sue him.

“He didn’t do anythingabout it, then he saw me onTV being successful withthe fight against the HST

and he decided to sue me.That bothered me.”

Hughes had alleged thatpassages in Vander Zalm’s2008 autobiography hadlibelled him. The lawsuitwas filed in October 2010.In addition to the damages,Vander Zalm was ordered toremove most of the defama-tory passages in any furtherpublications of the 654-pagetome.

Geoffrey Gomery, a law-yer for Hughes, told B.C.

COURT

An 18-year-old man from Richmond isamong the latest file of suspected StanleyCup rioters being handed over to the Crown.

Vancouver police recommended another70 criminal charges against 25 more suspect-ed rioters on Monday.

The Richmond teenager faces chargesof participating in a riot and mischief forhis part on June 15 last year. According topolice, at around 9 p.m. in the 700 block ofNelson Street, he tried to smash the rear win-dow of an unmarked police car with plastic.

When this didn’t work, he is allegedto have thrown a hubcap at the window.Unsatisfied, he is said to have joined a groupof rioters as they tried to roll the vehicle ontoits side. Despite the efforts of a small groupof citizens who tried to stop this, the rioterspersisted and were able to flip over the police

vehicle. Police say the accused has no crimi-nal record.

“After eight months, we are just as deter-mined and committed as we were the daysfollowing the riot,” said Inspector Les Yeo.

“I want to make it clear — this is notabout those who stood around and watchedthe riot. “All of those we are recommendingcharges against are alleged to have destroyedproperty, looted businesses, started fires andassaulted innocent bystanders.”

The 18-year-old Richmondite is the thirdfrom the city to be charged in connectionwith the riot. One of them, former Miss B.C.finalist Sophie Laboissonniere, 20, is allegedto be among the horde of rioters that lootedLondon Drugs in downtown Vancouver fol-lowing the Canucks’ Game 7 loss in June2011. She is charged with breaking-and-entering and taking part in a riot. Her lawyer,David Baker, said last month he is in pleadiscussions with prosecutors.

could pay doubleCHUNG CHOW

RICHMOND NEWS

Hugh Boyd’sGrade 8 incentiveclass performsNight of theNotables tonight(Wednesday).ElizabethBlackwell(YukikoTakahasi-Lai,left) and FlorenceNightingale(Jeslyn Lim)have tea.

Supreme Court JusticeLaura Gerow that, giventhe circumstances ofthe case, the ex-premiershould pay Hughes doublethe normal legal costs.

Tim Delaney, a lawyerfor Vander Zalm, said thatregular costs should beordered.

The judge reserved herdecision until Feb. 28.

Hughes claimed thebook Bill Vander ZalmFor the People containspassages that suggest hewas self-interested, biasedand politically motivatedin conducting the inquiryinto the sale of Fantasy,a theme park owned byVander Zalm.

Both men testified attrial, with Hughes say-ing he felt the need to setthe record straight andfound the book depressing,unfair and untrue.

Vander Zalm denied hehad defamed Hughes, andsaid the inquiry was anintimidating and strangeprocess for him.

The only other wit-ness, ex-premier MikeHarcourt, testified to theimpeccable reputation ofHughes, who’s a formerSaskatchewan judge andex-B.C. deputy attorney-general.

In 1991, Vander Zalmasked Hughes to look intoclaims that the then-pre-mier had mixed his publicand private life in hissale of the theme park inRichmond.

EDITORIAL OPINION

There’s an old joke among engineers: Faster, better, cheaper— pick two.

That’s the core of the crisis that’s facing B.C.’s justice system,which is caught between interminable delays, constitutionalimperatives and a cashstrapped provincial government.

Speeding the process from arrest to verdict is an urgent need.Thousands of cases have languished for more than a year beforecoming to trial, and it’s only a matter of time before a violentcriminal walks free because of an unreasonable delay.

Just wait until the new federal sentencing policies kick in.Premier Christy Clark, like any politician, likes to believe that ifwe only look hard enough for efficiencies, things can get betterwithout getting any more expensive.

Courts can be run better, but only by so much. Encouragingpeople to settle their civil matters outside of the courts is a laud-able goal, as is an overhaul of our family law system.

The “megatrials” of gang members can probably be bettermanaged as well. But in the great majority of criminal cases yourun into the Charter of Rights and Freedoms before you find anyuseful savings. This isn’t a bad thing.

We need more judges. We need more prosecutors. We needmore sheriffs. We’ve known all of this for years. Studies won’tchange the hard truth that this costs a lot of money.

We still shake our heads at the gratuitous populism that drivesClark’s desire for televising the trials of Stanley Cup rioters, butwe’ll give her the benefit of the doubt until July when we’ll seejust how serious the premier is in dealing with B.C.’s court crisis.

Clark needs ‘wedge’ issue to separate NDP

There wasn’t a lot tochew on from PremierChristy Clark’s five-minuteradio address this week, butshe did signal a loomingshowdown on an issue thathas the potential to right hergovernment’s sinking ship.

Clark went on radiostation CKNW’s BillGood Show to lay out hergovernment’s plans for thespring legislative session,and didn’t reveal anythingparticularly bold or new.

But she seemed to go outof her way to call out publicsector unions and empha-size, once again, that therewas no money on the tablefor their members to receivewage increases anytimesoon. And she suggestedthe only way those wagehikes could occur would bethrough increased taxes.

Clark desperately needsan issue to change theparameters of politicaldebate in this province.The mood of the elector-ate seems, according to thepolls, to desire a change ingovernment.

So Clark appears to bedeveloping a new theme shehopes resonates with votersmore than the call to kickher party out of office. She’shoping public sector unionstry to take her governmenton, allowing her to make an“us against them” type ofargument.

It can be an effectivetheme. Public support forunions has dwindled overthe years (the percentageof unionized workers hassteadily declined in thisprovince) and in particular,support for public sector

unions is likely not veryhigh.

Public sector employeesgenerally enjoy benefitpackages that are muchricher than anything foundin the private sector. Theyalso battle a misplaced pub-lic perception that they per-form work of a substandardnature.

A number of unioncontracts expire at the endof March, setting the stagefor strike action potentiallyinvolving nurses, health-care workers and direct gov-ernment employees.

The B.C. government isinsisting there is no moneyfor wage hikes, unless theyare paid for by concessionsfrom employees. The B.C.Government and ServicesEmployee Union havealready said it won’t standfor a continued wage freeze,and other unions may fol-low suit.

Clark is no doubt hopingthe NDP aligns itself withthese unions if a showdowndoes occur. The theme of“who’s running this prov-ince” can be a game-chang-er, and it may allow Clarkto consolidate her voterbase and bring back disaf-fected Liberals currentlyparking their votes with theConservative party.

Some have suggested

we could be seeing paral-lels with the OperationSolidarity protests thaterupted in 1983 in the wakeof government restraintmeasures. People forget,however, that despite thosehuge protests the SocialCredit government of thetime was handily re-electeda few years later.

Of course, the publicsector unions may opt notto take the bait this timearound, thus robbing Clarkof a potential “wedge”issue that could clearlyseparate her from the NewDemocrats.

And then Clark will beforced to search aroundin increasingly desperatefashion to find another issuethat can rebuild her party’spopularity. It won’t be aneasy task.

As I predicted in thisspace some months back,former B.C. premier BillVander Zalm paid a heftyprice for libeling formerconflict-of-interest commis-sioner Ted Hughes in hisself-published biography afew years back.

Yet Vander Zalm remainsunrepentant. He appearedon CKNW radio the day theverdict was reached, say-ing he “stands” by what hewrote in his book.

But if he repeats thelibel against Hughes he willpay dearly for it, and I’mnot sure whether VanderZalm’s penchant for tryingto rewrite history in morefavourable terms to himselfcan keep him quiet forever.

The Editor,As an extra-terrestrial visitor to planet Earth, I wanted to

learn how love is practiced by its inhabitants. I first turned tothe media where it appeared that love had something to do withgiving gifts, particularly on Feb. 14. Gifts that are red in colour— the colour of love — are specially cherished.

Expressing love also appeared to have something to do withsinging love songs, dining out with loved ones, chocolates andflowers. And more subtly, it seemed to have something to dowith sexual activity where one could actually “make love.”

Next, I circled around the planet and saw people killing eachother, and others were starving, oppressed and homeless. Somealso appeared to be materially well-off. It seemed that many ofthe Earth’s people had not yet learned how to truly show love fortheir kindred.

What I saw was quite different from my home planet. There,we talk about the tender and caring love a mother has for herchild, the love that family members have for each other and showit through mutual aid, kindness, respect and the love we have forour beautiful planet and every one of its inhabitants.

Our love also goes hand-in-hand with sacrifice, the willing-ness we have to forgo our own wishes and welfare in order thatothers may more equitably share in the blessings of life on ourplanet.

I returned home, happy in the knowledge that I had thebounty of living on a planet where the people really do love oneanother, and do it every day as our home spins around its sourceof light.

Letters

The Editor,Re: “Chinese-only signs

too few to count,” Letters,Feb. 8.

I think Mr. Lim complete-ly misses the point here. Theissue here is not how manyChinese-only signs are indisplay today in the city.

As a non-Chinese immi-grant, when I see a shop dis-playing its wares and pricesin the Chinese languageonly, it makes me feel I amnot welcome because I don’tspeak Chinese.

It is as if the shop owneris saying to me that his waresare for sale to those who canread the signs only and thathe doesn’t need the businessof non-Chinese customers. Iam sure this would not be hisintention, but unfortunatelythat’s the message it conveysto Canadians who do notspeak Chinese.

Why is it that in manyother jurisdictions in Canada,English and/or French is

required to be displayed?Why not in Richmond aswell?

Mr. Lim makes his bestpoint at the end of his letterwith which I whole-heartedlyagree. Richmond residentsshould put aside their cul-tural differences, make roomfor one another and livetogether in harmony.

It is advice that should bewell heeded by those whodisplay Chinese-only signs.Let them set an example oftheir intent to integrate intoour culturally diverse society,and open their arms to wel-come non-Chinese citizensinto their world by displayingsigns that everyone can readand understand.

Canadians have welcomedimmigrants into this country.Immigrants should do thesame to all Canadians.

Numbers not the issue

The Editor,I was so looking for-

ward to the new scrambleonly to find out thatthey’ve made the situationworse.

Cars can’t move becauseof people. I assumed nopedestrians would beallowed to cross during car

cycles. That would allowcars to move when thepeople were stopped.

With no right turnsallowed and then pedestri-ans filling the crosswalkson the car cycle, when aredrivers supposed to move?

Bob Garnett,Richmond

The Editor,The letter by John

Winters of the BCChamber of Commerceshows he has become alapdog of the VancouverAirport Fuel FacilitiesCorporation (VAFFC).

He appears to supportthe irresponsible plan tosend tankers of toxic andhighly flammable jet fuelinto the Fraser River, builda marine off loading termi-nal and a large tank farmof the banks of the FraserRiver when safer alterna-tives are obvious.

It’s immaterial to arguethe airport generateseconomic benefits andYVR needs fuel to keepthe planes flying. No onehas ever questioned thoseissues. A safer fuel deliverysystem is the issue at stake.

Thousands of citizens,local governments, nativebands and VAPOR askedVAFFC to abandon theirproposal. The safest optionhas never been properlyassessed by VAFFC.

Why do they insist onpromoting a proposal simi-lar to one in 1988 that wassoundly rejected by the fed-eral government in 1989?

For Mr. Winters to pre-tend the present review isthorough indicates he hasnot done his homework andshows little empathy forthe environment and publicsafety issues.

The present B.C.-headedreview is being done by ajunior government on fed-eral government mandates.

The federal part of thereview is being done byPort Metro Vancouver whobenefit from the proposal— a conflict of interest.

The appropriateness ofthe B.C. review is ques-tionable. The process ispiecemeal, incomplete withmany studies not yet avail-able and above all the B.C.process has a record forrubber stamping approv-als on almost all projectsreviewed. The B.C. AuditorGeneral has criticized themfor being unable to showthey can enforce their ownconditions of approval.

The BC Chamber ofCommerce should do somebasic research and not beused by the VAFFC tocover their questionablerecord of responsibility.

Voice Mail. Or even worse, some plumbers use an answeringmachine. Then you have to wait and hope they will call youback. At CampbellCare our phones are staffed so you canalways talk to a live person.

Wasted Time. Most plumbers won’t give you a real appoint-ment time. They say “We’ll be there between 10 and 4.” So youhave to waste a whole day waiting. Not any more! You get aprecise “Appointment Window” when you call us. You don’twaste a lot of time waiting.

Too Many Trips. Other plumbers can make 2 or 3 tripsbefore they have the right parts to fix your problem. Thiscosts you extra money and frustration. We stock our truckswith 185% more parts so we can fix the real problem the firsttime, saving you money.

Invoice Shock. This is what happens when you get charged“time & material” and the plumber gets paid more the longerhe takes. Only at Campbell Care do you get Straight ForwardPricingTM. This shows you the exact amount before the workbegins so you can decide. My plumber will even show you sev-eral low cost options so you can pick the right one.

The rain is relentless yetthe 120+ crew of ABC’s hitdrama series Once Upon aTime appears oblivious.

The assistant director stepsinto the middle of MonctonStreet and shouts out lastminute instructions to thecameramen and lighting crew.

All of a sudden, a minivan passes through the block-ades on Moncton Street andout jumps actress JenniferMorrison, who plays EmmaSwan.

As she readies for herscene with actor Josh Dallas,who plays David Nolan andPrince Charming, the twochat under an umbrella.

Then, it’s “quiet on theset,” cameras rolling andMorrison and Dallas walktowards a beat up old yellowVolkswagen Bug.

The two have a short con-versation before Morrisonjumps into the car and startsthe engine. Within seconds,the director shouts, “Cut!”

It took all of 10 seconds.After another two takes,

the director is happy and it’sa wrap.

Welcome to the set ofStorybrooke, a fictional townwhere local Steveston store-fronts transform for the day.

Once Upon a Time isbased on the Grimm fai-rytales. It follows the lifeof Emma, a 28-year-oldbounty hunter who moves toStorybrooke.

There, she reunites withHenry (played by JaredGilmore), her 10-year-old sonshe gave up for adoption 10years ago.

On the show’s website,it says Henry believes thatStorybrooke, the sleepy New

England town he calls home,is really part of a curse castby the Evil Queen (LanaParrilla).

In a rage, she froze thefairytale characters in themodern world with no mem-ory of their former selves.Even more farfetched, Henrybelieves Emma is the longlost daughter of Snow Whiteand Prince Charming.

Meanwhile, in anotherscene, which took place inthe alley behind CanneryCafé, aka Granny’s Place,an actress fell to the muddyground and Morrison came toher rescue.

The short scene wasrepeated four times.

So far, 18 episodes havebeen filmed, many of them inour historic village.

This one makes it 19.Last Thursday, the News

originally had an interviewset up with the location man-ager. However, after waitingfor nearly two hours in thepouring rain, the News wastold that nobody could beinterviewed, unless DisneyMedia Networks writtenapproval is given.

The News was told thatDisney was looking into thepossibility of another set visitin which the crew and actorswould be available to talk.

As of deadline, the nod ofapproval had not be given.

However, the News spoketo a couple of the crew mem-bers prior to the axe falling,and although names cannotbe printed, they did providea little insight into what it’slike to be part of a successfultelevision series.

Crew: Remain happy despite long 16-hour daysFirst off all the crew, from

the lighting professionals tothe production assistant tothe gofer, hail from B.C.

The production assistanttold us it takes roughly eightdays to film one episode andabout two months before itfinally airs.

The days are long, mostoften filming runs between15 to 16 hours a day,Monday to Friday.

As glamorous as onemight think filming is, itisn’t.

While the News wasthere, there was a lot ofwaiting and hanging aroundbetween takes. Yet, surpris-ingly, the mood was jovial.

Maybe it’s because thecrew was enjoying piping hotsoup and sandwiches whilethey waited patiently for theircue. Stay tuned. Hopefully, inthe near future the News willbring you interviews with thelead actors from the set ofOnce Upon a Time.

Late last year, a new television series,Once Upon a Time, began filming inSteveston. Within days, Moncton Street wastransformed into Storybooke, Maine.

Most residents of the historic village havebecome a little blasé about Hollywood knock-ing on its community, as it’s become a Meccafor commercials, television and blockbustermovie producers. Typically though, these pro-ductions wrap up within a few days.

Who could have predicted that ABC’s newhit drama would be such a success and wouldbring its crew and actors back to our historicvillage over and over again?

The News spoke to a few of the merchants

to find out if they are happy with the big pro-duction company shooting scenes, sometimeslate into the night for days on end.

Pieces gift shop’s storefront becomesPurbeck Shoe Store and Splash Toy Shoptransforms into a variety store calledNeighbor’s Five and Dime.

David Gordon, owner of Pieces for fiveyears now, is thrilled with Hollywood onSteveston’s doorsteps, especially as the televi-sion show garners rave reviews.

“We welcome and support the filmingcompanies anywhere in the village. The shortand long term benefits are great. It givesSteveston yet another wonderful identity,which in turn is great for business.”

Gordon went on to say that although there

Business: Filming good for some shops, but not allare obvious disruptions, it is offset by thepositive curiosity it has attracted from localsand visitors alike.

“It certainly keeps the customers talking,”he said. “And the crew go out of their way toaccommodate the customers getting them inand out of the shop. Probably the only incon-venience to customers would be the loss ofsome handy parking outside the front of theshop.”

A fan of the fairytale drama, Kelly Krull,manager of Splash Toy Shop, is equallyhappy about the show’s presence.

“I think it’s been great for the store,”Krull said. “We have stayed open during thefilming and customers are still coming in.Some of the crew comes in on a daily basiswhen they are filming, and buy toys for theirkids.”

Krull said the crew has been accommo-dating and the show is bringing Stevestononto the world stage.

“When the show uses our storefront it’seconomically very good for us,” Krull said.“Personally, I love when I go home andwatch the show and I see our store.”

Not every merchant in Steveston sharesKrull’s views. It hasn’t been all roses forKisamos Greek Taverna’s co-owner SofiaZanikos.

Although she insisted she has no prob-lems with the show, Zanikos does take issuewith the fact that her customers are not ableto get to her restaurant when filming is goingon.

Zanikos said she’s voiced her concernsnumerous times to the city as well as bothlocation managers for the show.

“They listen but nothing is being donereally,” she said. “Over the years, many tele-vision shows and movies have been filmedhere but they are here just a short time.

“But this show goes on and on, and sinceit’s doing so well it will continue. I com-plained because the police blocks the streetand interferes with my customers trying toget in.”

Zanikos has received a “small monetarycompensation” for the disruption.

“It doesn’t cover what we’ve lost in sales.”The longtime restaurateur conceded her

talks with the crew have been helpful anda few of them are now coming in for lunchperiodically, but she still believes the city cancome up with some resolution.

“I understand the police need to block thestreet to keep the noise down when filmingbut there has to be a way for my customersto still be able to come into my restaurant.”

Meanwhile, Vince Morlet, owner ofTapenade’s Bistro and vice president of the

Steveston Merchants Association (SMA),said the hit show is a win/win for Steveston’smerchants

“On a personal level, I think whetherdirectly or indirectly, our sales have been upin the last couple of months,” said Morlet.“Once Upon a Time is on across NorthAmerica and Europe and they are about tolaunch all over the world … how can that notbe good for Steveston?”

He understood some merchants aren’t toohappy. However, he believes in time it will

only profit merchants“During one episode, there was a scene

where you could prominently see Dave’s Fishand Chips and Kisamos … you can’t buythat kind of advertising,” Morlet said.

He said that as the show’s popularity andvisibility increases, so shall the number ofvisitors coming to Steveston.

“They will come specifically to shop anddine where the show is filmed,” Morlet said,adding on any given filming day, between150 and 200 crewmembers are in the village.

Community

When my editor told methat I would get a reactionif I brought up signage inRichmond shopping malls, itproved she knows her audi-ence.

The responses were sin-cere and thoughtful, but thereare a couple of notions thatI’d like to examine further.Both were encapsulated in one letter to theeditor that said, “Richmond, it is sad to say,has been a prime example of newcomersbeing virtually encouraged for their languageand culture to trump that of the countryTHEY have chosen to immigrate to!”

The first idea is that because people havechosen to immigrate to Canada, they’re obli-gated to abandon everything they’ve grownup with in favour of the Canadian way. Thesecond is despite taking on that obligation,newcomers’ are refusing to comply, choosinginstead to flaunt their home cultures.

I think that a lot of people, if they’vethought about it at all, accept the first as agiven — that part of immigrating to a newcountry is wholeheartedly embracing its val-ues. And they fear that the second is becom-ing increasingly true. I don’t believe either,and here’s why.

The days when immigration to Canadawas an act of generosity in return for whichwe expected undying gratitude are longgone.

Consider this. According to a CBCanalysis of just released census numbers,“between now and 2020, baby-boomerretirements coupled with declining birthrates are expected to produce labour deficitsof approximately 163,000 in construction,130,000 in oil and gas, 60,000 in nursing,37,000 in trucking, 22,000 in the hotel indus-try and 10,000 in the steel trades.”

2020 is only eight years away. And toparaphrase Swiss novelist and playwrightMax Frisch, “We ask for workers, but we getpeople.”

In 2010, we welcomed 280,000 immi-grants and an equal number of students andtemporary workers (many of whom we’llconvert to immigrants) and that’s still notenough to meet our labour-market needs. Ontop of that, we are in a polite, but vigorouscompetition with the U.S., Australia, the UKand even New Zealand for the world’s welleducated and talented.

People do choose to come to Canada, but

it’s not a one-way process.We also invite them. Andwhile we’re inviting them, weprobe their personal, legal,medical, familial and finan-cial histories in intimate waysthat would make a proctolo-gist blush. But nowhere dowe ask them about their valuesystems and their beliefs.

It is the strength of Canada’s culture— and the reason that newcomers integrateso successfully after a generation — that wenot only talk the talk of multiculturalism, butthat we walk the walk, allowing immigrantsto find their places in our society at theirown pace.

Does that mean we are prepared to toler-ate every “old country” value in the nameof multiculturalism? Are we nothing morethan spineless cultural relativists — one whobelieves that since all cultures are equallyvalid, outsiders have no right to “judge” oth-ers’ cultural practices — afraid to speak outfor what we, as Canadians, believe?

I think not. But let’s save the heavy artil-lery for cultural practices that are trulyabhorrent.

Take the verdict in the Shafia “honour-killing” trial. Not only were the accusedfound guilty, but the Canadian establishmentreacted with proper revulsion in denouncingthe whole concept.

The presiding judge summed up our reac-tion as Canadians when he said, “It is dif-ficult to conceive of a more heinous, moredespicable, more honourless crime. Theapparent reason behind these cold-blooded,shameful murders was that the four com-pletely innocent victims offended your com-pletely twisted concept of honour ... that hasabsolutely no place in any civilized society.”

To which Justice Minister Rob Nicholsonadded that honour killing is a practice that is“barbaric and unacceptable in Canada.”

Too obvious, you’re thinking? Who couldpossibly believe that honour killing hasany place in Canada? Ask the families ofCanadian born Aqsa Parvez, murdered at age16, Amandeep Atwal, murdered at age 17,Kahtera Sidiqi, murdered at age 20 and JassiSidhu, murdered at age 25.

Mattu looks to lead Sharks to promised landStar guard posied to win third consecutive city MVP award but really wants her team to take a serious run at a B.C. berth

She is recognized as oneof the top players in thecountry and is a safe bet towin her third consecutivecity MVP award tomorrownight. Yet, Anmol Mattuwill gladly trade in someof that glory if her basket-ball team is still playing inMarch.

That would mean theSteveston-London Sharksare participating in theB.C. “AAA” Senior GirlsChampionships — some-thing a Richmond schoolhasn’t done for a decade.Since Mattu started play-ing at the senior level inGrade 8, the Sharks havecome close. Typically, theylose a placement gameat the Lower MainlandTournament that would atleast put them in position tobe part of a do-or-die pro-vincial wild card battle.

This season, theMainland zone will beanother immense chal-lenge. Top 10 ranked teamsYork House, Handsworth,New West and Argyle areexpected to secure the fourguaranteed B.C. berths.However, the fifth placefinisher will be part of thewild card scenario and thatis where the Sharks comeinto the mix.

They are favoured towin this week’s city play-

off tournament whichconcludes tomorrow night(7:30 p.m.) at McRoberts.However, the McNairMarlins served notice itwon’t be a cake walk byhanding the Sharks theirfirst league loss last week, a55-53 defeat. Two weekendsearlier, McMath rallied inthe second half to handthem a loss in the final ofthe Wildcat Invitational.

The Sharks at least gotoff to a positive start witha 78-52 opening round winover Palmer on Mondayand were slated to try andavenge their loss to McNairin the semi-finals last night.

“I feel our team hastremendous potential,” saidMattu. “We al have onecommon goal of getting tothe provincials but we haveto take it one step at a timeand the first one is winningRichmond.

“This might be our bestyear to do it.”

Despite not reachingB.C.’s biggest high schoolbasketball stage to date, ithas hardly slowed downMattu’s development as aplayer.

Last summer, sheplayed for the nationalunder 16 team, helpingCanada secure a berthinto the upcoming U17World Championships inAmsterdam. She has alsobeen a regular with theprovincial team program

and continues to work onher game at the DRIVEAcademy, run by her long-time mentor Pasha Bains. Itshould all add up to oppor-tunities on both sides ofthe border once she beginsexploring her post-second-

ary options this summer.Earlier in her basket-

ball career, Mattu had theopportunity to transfer toanother high school wherea B.C. berth might havebeen easier to obtain. Shewanted no part of it and

credits longtime coach LesHamaguchi for stickingaround.

“He has always wantedthe best for me,” she said.“Sure there have been someup and downs but at the endof the day Les is one of a

kind and I want to be here.“He has a lot of knowl-

edge of the game and Iadmire him for that. I alsolike the transition of thesummer (elite level) to here.It really has worked outwell.”

Steveston-London Sharks guard Anmol Mattu is hoping her team can make a deep post-season run starting withthis week’s Richmond Senior Girls Championships at McRoberts secondary school.

Defending champion Griffins establish some momentum for post-seasonThe RC Palmer Griffins are riding some

momentum into this week’s RichmondSenior Boys Basketball Championships afterone of their most productive games of theseason.

The defending city and provincialchampions, who will be competing in theupcoming Lower Mainland “AA” playoffs,concluded regular season play with a 111-63win over the Richmond Colts. The result left

Palmer with a 7-2 record, good enough fora three-way tie for first place. The Griffinswere dropped to third, behind Steveston-London and McMath, based on the tie-breaker rule.

After jumping out to an early 15-pointlead, the Colts rallied to cut the lead toseven at the half (43-36). The second halfwas completely dominated by the Griffins asthey scored 67 points on their way to their

biggest margin of victory to date.Grade 11 Jamie Madewan shot an incred-

ible 15 for 21 from the field (including fivethree-pointers) as well as a perfect 4-for-4from the line on his way to 39 point perfor-mance. He also pulled down eight rebounds,dished out eight assists and had six steals.

Tyler Debeer had a solid double-doublewith 14 points and 11 rebounds, whileBen Samy had 11 points including a most

impressive two-handed jam off an opencourt steal.

“It was nice to see us pick up the tempoand get our running game back on track,”said head coach Paul Eberhardt. “Hopefullywe will go into the playoffs with a littlemomentum on our side.”

The city championships concludeThursday with the final slated for 7:30 p.m.at Steveston-London.
