Agony and ecstasy ... AliceWong celebrates her re-election witha high-five, main picture. Above, themood is sombre in Joe Peschisolido’scampaign office as the reality of ashattering defeat sets in. Right, ToryKerry-Lynne Findlay celebrates herDelta-Richmond East win with for-mer MP John Cummins.

DECISION 2011

Avalanche: Wong buries rivals, Grits sufferIt wasn’t so much an election landslide as

it was an avalanche.Tory incumbent Alice Wong was the run-

away winner in Richmond with a massive58.35 per cent of the vote as support for theLiberal’s Joe Peschisolido collapsed.

Indeed, Peschisolido only clung on grimlyby 0.4 per cent of the vote for second, aheadof a surge from the NDP’s Dale Jackaman.

In a night that the voter turnout fell oncemore to a new historical low — just 50.7 percent (down from 52 per cent in 2008) — theGreen’s Michael Wolfe trailed in last withjust 4.7 per cent of the vote.

The Conservative’s candidate in Delta-Richmond East, Kerry-Lynne Findlay,enjoyed a similarly convincing win (54 percent) over the NDP’s Nic Slater (23.2), withthe Liberal’s Alan Beesley disappointing inthird with 17 per cent.

But in Richmond, it was a night for Wongand her supporters to savour.

“The people of Richmond have spoken,and I like what they said, don’t you,” said a

happy, if somewhat tired-looking, Wong toa crowd of about 250 supporters at her cam-paign office.

The people have said yes to a strongmajority mandate, yes to Stephen Harperand yes to aConservative gov-ernment, Wong toldthe cheering crowd,with her husband ather side.

Wong describedthe decisive win as“humbling and reaf-firming.”

This is Wong’ssecond electoralvictory. In 2008, she beat incumbent LiberalRaymond Chan with 49.8 per cent of thevotes.

After her speech, Wong told reportersstrengthening the economy and creatingmore jobs are key priorities for her and theConservative government.

When asked how she’ll do that, Wongsaid, “Richmond is the Pacific gateway. Wecan further explore trade with China, Indiaand Japan.”

Wong also said she sees a bright future forRichmond’s tourismindustry.

On local issues,Wong said she sup-ports the GardenCity lands stayinggreen, but the landsare now owned bythe city and it’s upto the city to decidethe lands’ fate.

She dismissedthe notion that Ottawa owes money to theCity of Richmond as a result of that landdeal, saying the issue was complicated andinvolves a number of different players.

Wong also said she will advocate for astrong environmental review of the jet fuelpipeline proposal, although she noted that

the current proposal has been withdrawn anduntil another one is presented, there is little tocomment on.

The biggest challenge Wong said she facesin the weeks and months ahead is simplydealing with the number of specific issuesamong her constituents.

Richmond’s high new immigrant popula-tion means for a busy constituency office.

“I would like to see more resources forthat,” said Wong.

Wong thanked the other Richmond candi-dates, Jackaman, Peschisolido and Wolf, “forputting their beliefs into action by running foroffice.”

Just after her speech, Liberal candidateJoe Peschisolido entered the campaign officeto offer his congratulations.

Findlay sweeps ridingConservative wins 54.2 per cent of vote

It’s an exciting time forthe riding and the nation, saidConservative Kerry-LynneFindlay, who handily won Delta-Richmond East in Monday’s fed-eral election.

Winning political office for thefirst time, Findlay beat out fiveothers to secure the seat held foralmost 18 years by fellow ToryJohn Cummins.

“I’m just delighted to be partof that team. We’re going to havethe time now to have the mandateto do good things for Canada,”said an elated Findlay.

Surrounded by a crowd of sup-porters and friends at the CoastTsawwassen Inn as the resultspoured in, Findlay said she’sexcited to be part of a majoritygovernment.

“My results here kind ofmirrored the national, which isfantastic. I just felt it buildingover the last couple of weeks, themomentum of the campaign andthe support.

“I just think what it meansfor this riding and this country, itgives us a solid mandate we werelooking for.”

Findlay garnered 54.2 per centper cent of the vote, easily out-distancing the NDP’s Nic Slater(23.3), Liberal Alan Beesley(16.9), the Green’s Duane Laird(4.8), independent John Shavluk(0.5) and Libertarian Jeff Monds(0.3).

The Conservatives won amajority with 167 seats across thenation, while the New Democratsmade history by becoming theofficial Opposition with a record102 seats, a victory that camelargely at the expense of theLiberals, which won only 34, andBloc Quebecois, which won justfour. The Greens also made his-tory by capturing their first seat.

In this riding, theConservatives maintained theirstrong position, while the NDP’s

share increased from the lastelection. Having run as CanadianAlliance candidate in Vancouver-Quadra in 2001, Findlay said whatshe heard most from residentshere is the Conservative govern-ment was on the right track eco-nomically.

“They don’t want to mess withthat and they see the NDP as theequivalent to raising taxes. Theybelieve we can continue this eco-nomic growth with a lower taxobjective.

“The second thing is peoplewere tired of elections, it’s thefourth in seven years. I met sev-eral people who said, ‘I am votingConservative, my whole familyis voting Conservative, becauseenough is enough.’”

Delta-Richmond East hadbeen considered a relatively saferiding for the Conservatives, but

it remained to be seen whetherFindlay could match the successof Cummins.

In the last election in 2008,which resulted in anotherConservative minority govern-ment, the incumbent Cumminsdominated as usual with almost 56per cent of the vote.

It was obvious Findlay wouldhave big shoes to fill, due in partto the enormous personal popular-ity of Cummins.

In an interview just after hewas appointed as the Liberal can-didate for Delta-Richmond East,Alan Beesley said he believedthe riding was, in fact, winnablebecause Cummins had steppedaside. However, that turned outnot to be the case.

On hand to show his support atthe Coast Tsawwassen Inn gather-ing was the outgoing MP, whosaid he was particularly delightedto see the Bloc Quebecois crum-ble.

“They were small-minded indi-viduals who were bad for the busi-ness of Canada,” Cummins said.

Findlay, who’s planning tomove to the riding, is a Vancouverlawyer who, until now, was per-haps best known for spearhead-ing an extended court battle withthe federal government and theMusqueam Indian Band over leasepayments charged to non-nativeresidents of Musqueam Park.

Currently the legal counselfor the B.C. Fisheries SurvivalCoalition before the Cohen inqui-ry into declining salmon stocks,the 55-year-old has held manycommittee and executive portfo-lios in her legal career.

In 2001, she was received aYWCA Woman of DistinctionAward and in 2006 was appointedto the Canadian Human RightsTribunal for a five-year term.

Married to Brent Chapman, anactor and voice talent, Findlay hasfour kids ages 15 to 29.

NDP makesbig gains

Nic Slater made big gains forthe New Democrats as he finishedsecond in Delta-Richmond East inMonday’s federal election.

At a gathering of supporters atthe Tsatsu Shores condo complex inTsawwassen onMonday night,Slater said he hada “low resourcecampaign” thatpicked up steamas it movedtoward electionday. “We ended uprunning a solid,low resourcecampaign instead of a medium orhigh resource campaign. And a lot ofpeople came out of the woodwork tohelp. The surge (nationally) helped,but the people who voted here werepart of their own surge.”

Slater received 11,189 votes,which was good for 23.3 per cent ofthe riding’s total ballots cast. That’sup significantly from the 14 per centthe party had garnered in the lastthree elections.

Liberal Alan Beesley ended upwith 8,112 votes, translating to 16.9per cent of the votes cast.

He congratulated Findlay for herwin but also said he was proud of hiscampaign. Nationally, Liberals lostseats and finished third behind theNDP.

Local Green candidate DuaneLaird came in fourth with 2,324votes, or 4.8 per cent overall.

“I certainly would have liked tohave a different final result but Ithink I’m pretty realistic about theway it went,” he said, noting Delta-Richmond East has traditionally beena Conservative riding.

The vote count wentdown for Richmond’s GreenParty candidate, but thatfailed to dampen his spirits.

Michael Wolfe was“elated and ecstatic” thatthe Green Party of Canadawill send its first-everMP to Ottawa, thanks toElizabeth May winning theSaanich-Gulf Island riding.

That was reason enoughto celebrate, said Wolfefrom the campaign officeof fellow Green candidateAdriane Carr.

“I’ve been in six elec-tions and this is the high-light because of having thefirst Green elected. This istrail blazing; we’re here forthe long haul.”

Still, Wolfe is smartinga bit, given his fourth placefinish in Richmond.

Wolfe dropped from6.4 per cent of the votes inRichmond in 2008 to 4.7per cent.

“I’m a popular can-didate and was getting

endorsements, like fromthe Georgia Straight, andto remain fourth is a littletough.

“It was my goal tomove the vote ahead inRichmond, but the surge inthe NDP and Conservativesmade it hard.”

The fact it was a snapelection and there werefewer opportunities to gethis message out workedagainst him, said the 29-year-old school teacher.

Enthusiasm for NDPleader Jack Layton and stra-

tegic voting also conspiredto bring his vote countdown, he said.

But Wolfe’s bitternessis far outweighted by thesweetness of having Mayelected. And it was, in fact,the Green Party strategyto focus resources on themost electable candidate atthe expense of other cam-paigns.

“It was a telling line inher acceptance speech; shesaid she had 2,000 volun-teers, some of us are luckyto get 2,000 votes.”

At 8:15 p.m., the atmo-sphere in Joe Peschisolido’scampaign office on AckroydRoad resembled that of amorgue, rather than a post-election party.

As Liberal hopefulPeschisolido composedhimself in the back office,his supporters sat silentand ashen-faced around themain room, watching PrimeMinister Stephen Harperdeliver his victory speechon TV.

After coming to termswith the magnitude of hisdefeat — clinging onto sec-ond spot from the NDP withjust 18.7 per cent of the vote,down 12.1 per cent from hispredecessor Raymond Chanin 2008 — Peschisolidostrode from the back room at8:25 p.m. to concede defeatand then rally his wearycampaign troops.

Adding insult to injuryfor the local Liberal partymembers was the fact thatPeschisolido was waving thewhite flag a full 15 minutesearlier than his predecessor,Chan, did three years ago.

“Pick yourselves up,guys. Don’t be too down,we’ll come back to fightagain,” he told them.

“I’m very proud of our

campaign and I wouldn’thave done anything dif-ferent.” On the surface,Peschisolido appeared unper-turbed by the manner inwhich Tory rival Alice Wongdismissed his challenge.

But behind the smile,there was no hiding his bitterdisappointed at, not just los-ing to Wong, but concedingso much ground to the Toriesin what has been a close-fought riding in recent times.

“The people have spoken,that much is clear and I’mgoing to go and congratulateAlice now,” he told the News.

“Of course, I would havepreferred to have been moresuccessful. But I still wouldnot have changed the way wecampaigned.”

Peschisolido hinted thathe sensed defeat was on thecards before the election.

“The national trends arewhat they are and it was notlooking favourable,” he saidof the early polls.

“The response fromthe people in Richmondtoday was still good, but the(phone) calling and pollingseemed to change (in the lastcouple of days).”

And he admitted that thenational surge in the favourof the NDP undoubtedlyplayed a part in the loss.

NDP’s Jackaman vows to dog Wong

It was a bitter-sweet night for the NDP’sDale Jackaman in Richmond.

He might have increased his party’s votein the Richmond riding by almost five percent and ran the Liberals close for second,but Jackaman was more concerned aboutthe fact the Conservatives now have amajority government — something he feelsis “dangerous” and he told runaway Toryincumbent Alice Wong while congratulat-ing her.

“I went to speak to Alice and say ‘welldone,’” Jackaman said.

“But I then gave her my apologies inadvance as I told her I think her govern-ment is going to be the most divisive inthe country’s history and my community isgoing to be very angry about it.

“She said she would listen to the people,but I don’t think her government will listen.But the battle is on and I will continue toattack the Tories and I won’t stop.”

Referring to Harper’s rule as being themost “secretive” since the Second WorldWar, he said he’s surprised how easy Wongwon the day.

“The Conservatives are plain loath-some, but for whatever reason, the peoplehave ignored that fact,” he said from theNDP post-election party in Vancouver onMonday night.

“I think the voters need a collective kickin the teeth and I think, over time, they’ll

realize they’ve made a big mistake tonight.”Of his rise in the voting percentage,

Jackaman said it felt a lot nicer to be closerto the pack than normal, although he addedhe wasn’t that surprised at running theLiberal’s Peschisolido so close for secondplace. “It was expected. There was verymuch a positive feel from our calls fromthe polling bank and I think (the surge)was more to do with what was happeningnationally for the NDP than anything herein Richmond,” he said.

Jackaman said his party’s rise in popu-larity in Richmond came despite the lack ofattention from the local media.

News

Police are recommendingthat charges be laid against twoRichmond teenagers believed to beresponsible for racist graffiti inci-dents earlier this year.

On March 5, Richmond RCMPreceived three reports that racistgraffiti was found in different loca-tions throughout the city.

The graffiti was located on apump station at the west end ofBlundell Road, on a travel trailer inthe 8600 block of Seafair Drive andon Gilmore elementary school.

In all three instances the graffiticonsisted of racial slurs, swastikasand white supremacy markings.

The BC Hate Crimes Sectionwas contacted and assisted with theinvestigation.

Charges of mischief and wilfullypromoting hatred are being recom-mended for the two male youths,aged 15 and 16.

A court date has not been set, ascharges have not yet been approved.The identities of the accused areprotected under the Youth CriminalJustice Act and, as such, their namescannot be released.

The anti-Semitic slurs includeda Nazi swastika, with the words“white power” and a derogatoryphrase related to Chinese people.

Diverting the pipe is not enough: Steves

An airline consortium’sdecision to consider divertingtheir fuel pipe up Highway99 will only deal with fiveper cent of the issues, saidCoun. Harold Steves.

VAFFC (VancouverAirport Fuel FacilitiesCorporation) were last weekgranted permission to sus-pend the provincial reviewinto their plan, which includ-ed building a fuel offloadingfacility on the south arm ofthe Fraser River and thenrunning a 15-kilometre pipethrough agricultural and resi-dential Richmond to YVR.

The consortium said itwants time to examine thepossibility of directing thepipe up Highway 99 andthen west to the airport— an alternative routingthat VAFFC said was sug-gested to them by the City ofRichmond.

But Steves, one of manyfierce opponents to the planon city council, said such a

reroute will only deal with asmall fraction of the environ-mental issues.

“I’m not impressed,” saidSteves. “The Fraser Riverestuary is still at risk and Isee no reason to support that.

“There’s still the risk of aspill in the estuary, no mat-ter which direction the pipegoes.”

He also took issue withthe consortium indicatingthat diverting the pipe upthe 99 was the “preferred”option of the city.

“The city said that if wehad to put up with a newpipe, we’d rather it went upthe 99. It certainly wasn’t ourpreferred option,” he said.

“Our preferred option isupgrading the current pipe-line (from Burnaby).”

Steves said, however, thatthe delaying of the currentB.C. review gives opponentstime to mount a campaign topush for a “proper” federalreview into tankers comingup the Fraser River.

In a letter to the News

this week, Mayor Malcolm

Brodie echoed Steves’ con-cerns, saying “RichmondCity Council remains unani-mously opposed to any pro-posal to build a new jet-fuelpipeline which would requirean off-loading facility forfuel tankers or barges alongthe environmentally-sensi-tive South Arm of the FraserRiver …”

You can read Brodie’s fullletter in the Choice words

section on Page 10.Adrian Pollard, project

director for VAFFC, said theconsortium is listening towhat the city has to say.

“We are planning tomeet next month with theMinistry of Transportationand Infrastructure to explorethis (Highway 99) option,”Pollard said.

“It is still very early daysthough.”

When the curtain comesdown next April, SimonJohnston hopes his legacywill be of kick-starting thecareers of the new generationof talented young artists whohave contributed to the suc-cess of the Gateway Theatre— whether it’s actors, direc-tors, playwrights or setdesigners.

“I’m extremely proud thatwe have been the launchingpad for many talented youngpeople, many of whom havegreat careers,” said Johnston.

After nearly a dozen yearsat the helm of the GatewayTheatre, Johnston, its artisticand executive director, willresign to pursue “new pos-sibilities.”

“To everything there isa season,” he quipped. “It’sbeen a great run and I thinkit’s probably a great time to

allow for some fresh, newoutlook to breathe new lifeinto the Gateway Theatre.”

Johnston also feels this isthe opportune time to resignwhile the theatre is mannedby “a new, energized board,an excellent professional staffand hundreds of fabulousvolunteers.

“I am immensely proudof how the Gateway Theatrenow has a national presence,”said Johnston, who has livedin Richmond for a dozen

years. “We have a presencein many provinces and acrossB.C. because we have co-produced a number of terrificshows.”

Johnston credits his teamfor much of the company’ssuccess. “It’s through teamwork and consensus, whichis a positive and unique posi-tion I believe, that we havebecome a leading cultural

institution,” he said.Sherry Elasoff, manager

of marketing and public-ity, was surprised to hearof Johnston’s decision lastFriday afternoon. “Of course,we are sad to see him gobecause he has done somuch for the company andfor the arts in Richmond,”said Elasoff. “He has been adelight to work with.”

Under his tenure, Elasoffadded, the Gateway has wit-nessed the birth of the StudioSeries of plays on Gateway’ssecond stage in Studio B;the SceneFirst play develop-ment program; premieresof 17 new Canadian plays;and several seasons of Seaof Stories. When asked whathe plans on doing when heleaves, Johnston said he has a

few projects he’s looking at,but he isn’t at liberty to dis-cuss what they are yet. “Mywife Sheila and I are going totake a holiday first and then Iwant to work on a couple ofopportunities before I get tooold,” said Johnston.

Meanwhile, the Gatewayboard of directors will forma search committee to find asuitable replacement.

EDITORIAL OPINION

Well, wasn’t that a night!For an election that many said would be a yawn-

er, the grand finale was a nail biter — a bit likewatching the Canucks in overtime.

Richmond itself wasn’t quite as exciting to watch, giventhat the two Tory candidates, Richmond’s Alice Wong andDelta-Richmond East’s Kerry-Lynne Findlay won handily, aswas predicted.

Nevertheless, we did follow the national trend of dismiss-ing the Liberals and giving a nod to the NDP.

In Delta-Richmond East, Nic Slater came in second with23.3 per cent of the votes. In Richmond, the NDP’s DaleJackaman didn’t place second, but it was close and even closeis news for the NDP in this riding.

To all the candidates, we want to repeat the gracious wordsof incumbent MP Alice Wong when, in her victory speech,she congratulated all the candidates “for putting their beliefsinto action by running for office.”

It is no mean feat to stage a campaign and our hats go offto all who participated.

So now what? We have two significant changes — a Torymajority and an NDP opposition.

First, congratulations to the Tories. It was a decisive victo-ry. Let’s just remember that cooperation and inclusion doesn’tmean weak leadership; Majority doesn’t mean dictatorship.

To the issue of an NDP opposition — well, maybe a two-party system, in which each represents one side of the politi-cal spectrum, is a healthy change.

The issue of vote splitting has always been a frustrationin our current system. It leads to strategic voting (which canbackfire) and a government that doesn’t truly reflect the votesof the people. Of course, the Liberals may well regroup andcome back stronger than ever. In the meantime, we have twoclear alternatives and a whole new dynamic to watch with theConservatives and the NDP.

Let the games begin.

New NDP leader AdrianDix is trying to establishhis own style of leadership,and to demonstrate the oncebadly fractured NDP caucusis over its internal strife.

But his restructuringof his caucus assignmentshas raised questions aboutwhether that internal tensionis truly gone. I’ve picked upsome serious grumbling bysome key New Democratsunhappy that Dix essentiallyshut leadership rival MikeFarnworth (and Farnworth’ssupporters) from pivotalcaucus positions. Instead,Dix installed MLAs whosupported either his leader-ship or that of John Horgan,who is perhaps closer toDix on a personal level thanother MLAs.

Of course, Dix has everyright to appoint whoeverhe wants to various posts(although some positions,such as caucus chair, areelected by the caucus).

But one can’t help con-trasting his treatment ofFarnworth with PremierChristy Clark’s handling ofher chief leadership rival,Kevin Falcon.

Clark appointed Falconfinance minister and deputypremier. Dix, on the otherhand, removed Farnworthfrom the pivotal position ofOpposition house leader andalso moved him out of thepublic safety critic position.

Farnworth garneredwidespread praise for hisperformance in both roles.As critic, he actually con-vinced the government tobring in legislation thathe was specifically call-

ing for (such as new lawsdealing with body armourand armoured cars) to fightorganized gangs.

And Farnworth’s removalas house leader carries withit a hefty personal financialcost as well. He now losesthe $20,000 stipend thatcomes with the job.

Dix, of course, deniesthere’s any payback goingon here. He told me he con-siders Farnworth’s appoint-ment as health critic hiskey appointment and insistsFarnworth is a great friend.

But there’s a tiresomeroutine that comes withbeing health critic. Dix wasthe former health critic, ofcourse, and he started outwell in that post.

But over time, his criti-cisms became relentlesslysimilar and all echoed therefrain that all problems inthe system could be fixedby simply putting more andmore money into it.

Farnworth would be wiseto steer clear of that moneytrap, and focus on suchissues as a looming shortageof doctors, nurses and tech-nologists (if you think MRIwait times are too long now,just wait a few years whenthere are fewer and fewerpeople properly trained torun such machines).

The grumbling over the

treatment of Farnworth andhis supporters will likelyfade away rather quickly.But Dix should rememberhe wasn’t the choice of anoverwhelming majority ofparty members.

His victory margin— 52 to 48 per cent — wasexactly the same as the pre-mier’s margin. He had fewercaucus endorsements thaneither Farnworth or Horgan.

And given that his cam-paign signed up more than5,000 members of the SouthAsian community in Surreyand its environs (represent-ing half of his final ballottally) Dix can hardly arguehe has a strong, broad baseof support throughout theprovince or the party.

One of Dix’s politicalmentors, of course, is for-mer premier Glen Clark,for whom he worked, firstas ministerial assistant andthen as chief of staff in thepremier’s office.

I’ve always thought oneof Clark’s big mistakes aspremier was putting onlythose people who sharedhis class warrior views inkey positions in govern-ment, either in the caucus oramong staffers.

As a result, whenever hemade a mistake, the onlypeople he would turn towere those who reinforcedhis views, rather than chal-lenging them or changingthem. It will be interestingto see if Dix makes thesame mistake in the monthsahead.

The Editor,Re: “Review into fuel project halted,” News, April 29.I want to emphasize that Richmond City Council remains

unanimously opposed to any proposal to build a new jet fuelpipeline which would require an off-loading facility for fueltankers or barges along the environmentally-sensitive southarm of the Fraser River and/or a pipeline route that would passthrough the middle of our community.

The only preferred route for any jet fuel pipeline involvesthe continued use of the existing pipeline from Burnaby withupgrading as necessary. If new facilities are proven to berequired to replace the existing facilities, an off-loading terminallocation for barges on the north arm of the Fraser River, close tothe airport, would be better.

The city welcomes the consortium’s decision to seek a 120-day suspension in the Environmental Assessment Review pro-cess to enable them to examine the option of routing a pipelinealong Richmond’s Highway 99 corridor. The continued opposi-tion from many sources appears finally to be heard by the con-sortium.

While council does not want any new pipeline, the Highway99 routing alternative was a partial response to the consortium’sprevious insistence on using the Shell Road corridor. Highway99 would be preferred over the Shell Road corridor as it couldlargely avoid residential, farm and environmental areas.

Council remains adamantly opposed to the consortium’s plansto use the south arm as a transit point for shipments. We aredeeply concerned about the resulting environmental and publicsafety threats. We strongly urge the consortium to revisit itsapproach.

Stories of heroism and of going aboveand beyond the call of duty were plenti-ful last Wednesday night during the ninthAnnual Richmond Chamber of Commerce911 Awards.

More than 275 attendees came dressedin their finest to honour and celebrate thecourageous men and women of the city’semergency personnel, who work hard everyday to make sure the city is safe.

Glasses were raised in salute tomembers of the RCMP, Richmond Fire-Rescue, Canadian Coast Guard and B.C.Ambulance/Paramedics in the River RockCasino Resort Theatre.

“I was quite pleased with the evening,”said Craig Jones, executive director of theRCC.

“The real story and the theme behind theevening is how unique our city is becausewe have cohesiveness between the variousdepartments.

“It’s not just the RCMP working on itsown, it’s everyone working together for thebetterment of Richmond.”

Jones went on to say that he wasimpressed with the quality of each andevery nominee.

“They were all deserving and they wereall winners in my mind, but unfortunately,it does come down to choosing a winner ineach category,” he added.

The keynote speaker, Jack McGee,president and CEO of the Justice Instituteof B.C., added a real personal touch tothe evening as he thanked all the men andwomen who were nominated.

The evening began with a lively recep-tion, followed by a gourmet three-coursedinner and awards celebration.

Early on in the evening, a video depict-ing Hollywood’s version of emergencypersonnel, with scenes from various CISshows, entertained the crowd.

“I think it was clear to all that what ourmen and women do is not about CSI, it’sabout the real contributions and sacrificesthey perform each and every day,” saidJones.

The 911 Awards are a joint partner-ship between the RCC and the City ofRichmond.

The RCC founded the awards ceremonyin 2003 as a way to give tribute to the menand women who ensure our community’ssafety, along with the businesses and vol-unteers who support their efforts.

Staff Sgt. Murray MacAulay nomi-nates Const. Vanessa Christophersonand Sgt. Dennis Wilson for their excel-lent team effort, communication skillsand decisiveness in preventing a sui-cide attempt.

Last July Christopherson was thefirst responder at the Arthur LaingBridge where a visibly distressed manwas seated on the ledge high above theriver.

Wilson arrived shortly thereafter.Seeing the officers, the man quicklymoved out of reach and voiced hisintention to kill himself.

It took almost 50 minutes to talk thedistressed man down.

Though calmer, there was still anextreme risk of the male jumping offthe bridge.

The officers had to retain the man’strust in order to prevent him from anysudden and lethal action.

Then while waiting for a suicidecouncillor to arrive a rescue opportu-nity presented itself. Wilson tossed acigarette to the man. When the mancrouched to shield himself from thewind to light the cigarette, Wilsonquickly took the troubled man into

custody.The man did not resist and was

placed in the care of BC Ambulance.He received much needed assistancefrom the health care professionals andwas able to telephone his thanks to theofficers the following day.

During this ordeal, Wilson andChristopherson remained calm, com-posed, focused and patient. They werebrave beyond their duty and preventeda tragedy from happening.

On May 9, 2010 a manwas seen near the finishline of the Sun Run tak-ing off his shorts, runningshoes and shirt and leav-ing them on a rock.

He then entered thecold waters of False Creekwhere he floated for aminute and then was seendiving down.

He never came backup. Although hundreds ofpeople were nearby on theseawall, only two rushedforward.

Off-duty Richmondfirefighters BrianMacLeod and TrevorNorthrup went into thewater. Macleod tried todive down to the bot-

tom but was repelled bythe cold and the depth.Northrup found a pole toprobe the bottom but wasunsuccessful.

They continued tosearch until the icy watersmade it impossible.Divers from the CoastGuard would eventuallyfind the man who wasdeclared dead at hospital.

The“vial of life” program storesphysician and pharmacistcontacts, allergies and othermedical information in avial in the refrigerator. Afridge magnet alerts emer-gency services that the clientis part of the Vial of Lifeprogram.

Working closely with the Victorian Order of Nurses, aswell as Richmond Fire and Rescue partners, the RCMP,the City of Richmond, members of the Falls PreventionNetwork, and local businesses, Mah was able to develop aplan to bring this time saving tool back into the commu-nity.

Due to Mah’s hard work, much of it on his own time,Richmond became the pilot community for this programin BC. Paramedic Mah is an example of a BCAS memberthat exceeds our vision, mission, and values. His leadershipis only surpassed by his dedication to his staff, patients,community, and the BCAS as a whole.

In April last year, a sea-storm forced numerouscompetitive sailing vesselsto abandon their run betweenRichmond and Nanaimo.Two of these vessels weretrapped in gale force windsand waves.

The CCG hovercraft crewwent immediately to theiraid. One vessel had capsizedthrowing six of its crew intothe raging sea. Rain andseawater made it almost

impossible to see the survi-vors clinging to the mast andrigging. The crew broughttheir hovercraft as close aspossible to the sunken boat.From there, divers rescuedthe survivors until all werereturned to the hovercraft.

At one point a large wavepicked up the hovercraftand landed it on top of diverThody who was holding asurvivor firmly in his arms.They sank momentarily.Thankfully a second waveflung the hovercraft awayallowing both men to reachthe surface. Diver Thodynever let go of his survivor.

Two crew were injuredduring this incident and thehovercraft was damagedextensively during this 30-hour ordeal. With the weatherand seas beyond what theirvessel was designed for andrisking their own lives, theynever let go until the res-cue was completed and thehovercraft returned safely toRichmond.

A pilot project between the RichmondRCMP and DFO Steveston began onJuly 11, 2010. The pilot project was cre-ated to allow uniformed members of theRichmond RCMP and Fisheries officers(of the Steveston office) of the Departmentof Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to worktogether to assess the level of marine com-munity activity and to provide a uniformedpresence on the waterways surrounding theCity of Richmond.

The pilot project ended in October 2010.Shortly thereafter, due in large part to thestrong working relationship developedbetween Supt. Ken Green of DFO and Cpl.Lunny of the Richmond RCMP, Greenapproached Lunny with an offer. Greenoffered their existing vessel (RHIB) toRichmond RCMP at no cost.

The aquisition of this vessel is a tre-mendous benefit, not only to the RichmondRCMP but the City of Richmond. This ves-sel will be used to conduct marine patrolsin the waterways surrounding the Cityof Richmond; to interact with the marinecommunity and to detect, deter and investi-gate criminal activity in these waterways.

The initial pilot project goal in 2010 todetect, deter and investigate criminal activ-ity, was obtained by the actual number ofinteractions that took place last summer

that resulted in liquor and drug seizuresmade; impaired investigations conducted;and criminal acts such as pursuit of a stolenvessel, thefts in progress and recovery ofstolen vessel files that were responded to.

Our moms give us somany things.

They provide comfortwith gentle words andwarm embraces when weget those inevitable cuts andscrapes as children.

They give us strengthwhen we are left broken-hearted and lift us up whenthings go wrong.

Along the way, they

impart precious words ofwisdom, which we oftendismiss or simply forget.

In honour of this year’sMother’s Day, whichfalls on May 8, we at theRichmond News, asked ourreaders to take a moment toremember the best advicethey ever received fromtheir moms and share itwith us for the “Mom Said...” contest.

Our mom’s the best.”The winner, receives

Stephen Chen, 9,hugs his mom (Anne)and sister, Kaitlyn, 8, inthe picture. His mom’sadvice to him, he wrote,is: “Try your very bestat everything that youdo like in school or insports. If you are happy,then that’s all that mat-ters.”

Ann Sharen Bastien writes, “Mom said, ‘Marry richso you can afford a housekeeper.’ I didn’t listen to her— dam!”

Carol Clark writes, “My mom passed away two yearsago, quite suddenly. She was 61 years old and I was 37 yearsold with a two-year-old son and a newborn baby. She hadjust retired from work after 20 plus years. She and I werelooking forward to spending lots of time together — bond-ing with her only two grandchildren and with me during mymaternity leave. We had so many visions of happy carefreedays ahead. How I long to hear her voice again. Even if it’sto hear her tell me that it’s cold out there and I should makesure I dress the boys warmly. Comments like that in the pastwould have elicited a ‘yeah, yeah, I know what I’m doingmom ...’ response from me to her. I really miss my mom. I’vethought about all the advice she gave me over my life andthere are so many. She was such an inspirational role modelto me. Now that I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, auntand friend, there is one advice that stands out. I didn’t under-stand it as much when she was trying to instill in me thisadvice when I was young. Back then, I just wanted to hangout with my friends, socializing. But now in the midst ofmy fast-paced life, I truly understand why she gave me thisadvice. She wanted me to have something for me that wasindependent from all the expectations of me in life. Here ismy entry into your contest: “The best advice my mom gaveme was to find a hobby, so that I would always have some-thing for myself to enjoy in life.”

The Richmond Red Hot Selectsare poised to represent B.C. at thisfall’s U16 National Club champi-onships in Calgary after a remark-able effort to keep their dreamseason alive.

The Selects scored in the dyingmoments of regulation time thenprevailed in gut wreching penaltykicks to defeat the SemiahmooThunder 3-2 in Saturday’s U16ACoastal Cup championship gameat the Minoru Oval. The resultputs the locals a win away fromadvancing to the nationals. Theycan secure their trip across theRockies when they host theInterior/Northern B.C. championin July

Richmond entered the cup finalwith an unbeaten 25-0-1 record.The girls not only cruised to a firstplace finish in the Girls MetroSoccer League, they captured

a tournament in Las Vegas anddefeated Vancouver F.C. — theCoastal U17 finalist — 3-0 in anexhibition game. Being the favou-rite offered little comfort consid-ering anything can happen in asudden-death format and scoringopportunitiescan be at apremium insoccer.

Sureenough, theSelects domi-nated muchof the playin the open-ing half andhad nothingto show fortheir effort.Semiahmootook advan-tage of itsopponents’lack of finishto jump out

to a 1-0 lead on an early secondhalf penalty. Richmond wastedlittle time in responding as MonikaLeverasky finished off a crossfrom Amrit Berar.

It remained deadlocked at 1-1until the final five minutes when

the Thunder caught the Selects’backline out of shape and notchedthe go ahead goal.

“I said to my assistant coach‘that was it, we don’t have thetime to come back now,’” saidRichmond head coach Clive

Clarke. “Fortunatelythey proved mewrong.”

Soon after theball was broughtback to centre,Summer Clarke wasspeeding down thewing and setting upBerar for the tyinggoal.

Richmond nowhad the momentumand dominated over-time period, doingeverything but scor-ing. Penalty kicksfollowed and plentymore drama ensued.

Selects goalkeep-

er Joscelyn Wallace came up hugewith three diving saves. It wasenough to set the stage for vic-tory as Richmond converted justtwo of its five attempts, includingLevarsky’s game-winning finalshot.

“I didn’t even look at the lastshot,” laughed Clarke. “These girlsshow so much strength, maturityand confidence. There is just nodoubt in themselves.”

Even with the cup run nowover, the Selects will be as busyas ever thanks to five girls on theprovincial U16 team and threemore playing in the Pacific CoastLeague.

Clarke expects his squad to bechallenged by a team from PrinceGeorge in the provincial final.

The Red Hot Selects alsoinclude: Justine Do, BrendaMurillo, Madison Higginbotham,Alura Castle, Alyssa Graeme,Natasha Magnus, Ashley Chen andJap Nagra.


Richmond Soccer hosted the Coastal Cup Championships last weekend at Minoru Park and Richmond High. Among the 22 championship games were two hosts teams in action, theRichmond Red Hots Selects (left) doing battle with Semiamhoo Thunder in the U16A girls final, while Richmond United (right) squared off with Chilliwack in the U18B boys final.

Richmond Unitedare riding home fieldadvantage all the way tothe U18 Provincial CupChampionships this July inPenticton.

In the rarest of draws,United received three con-secutive home dates for theirCoastal “B” Cup qualifyinggames. They started with a3-2 round of 16 victory overleague rival Kerrisdale, thentook out a pair of District5 teams — Ladner Celticand Surrey United by 1-0scores. The stage was setfor last Saturday’s Coastalchampionship game whichjust so happened to be hostedby Richmond Soccer atMinoru Park. United and

the Chilliwack Attack werealready guaranteed berthsinto the provincials by reach-ing the final.

The hosts got off to asolid start, but failed tocapitalize on some excel-lent chances which allowedChilliwack to open the scor-ing against the run of theplay. Richmond drew evenon a terrific free kick from20-yards out by Nick Varley,but the Fraser Valley oppo-nent would later capitalizeon a couple of defensive mis-cues to produce a 3-1 win.

“It was unfortunate wedidn’t bring our ‘A’ game,”said United head coach NigelEvans. “Chilliwack steppedit up a notch and we madea couple of uncharacteristicerrors. The boys are definite-ly looking forward to seeing

them again in Penticton.”Richmond had plenty of

success at the U18 level thispast season as its top teamcaptured the B.C. SelectsLeague championship andwas a win away from alsoreaching the Coastal Cup“A” final.

With a team featuringplayers in Grades 11 and 12,this is Evans’ second runthrough the Richmond YouthSoccer system, a span thatcovers 20 years.

He initially took his sonthrough, starting in 1991,and it’s his passion for the“beautiful game” that haskept him involved.

“We also had a Gold IIteam this season and thethree of us worked veryclosely together,” said Evansof the program’s success.“This allowed us to exposeplayers to a higher leveland give us the flexibility tomove them between teamswith a development pro-gram.”

After an intense monthof April, United will enjoya few weeks off beforeresuming training for theProvincial Cup which willbe an eight-team tournamentslated for July 7-10.
