Richmond News September 16 2015

Amidst a crowd of support-ers Sunday afternoon,

Richmond Centre candidateJack Trovato and Steveston-Richmond East candidateScott Stewart, both of the NewDemocratic Party of Canada,opened their joint campaignoffice on No. 3 Road, acrossfrom Richmond City Hall.

Stewart said going door-to-door, he’s been seeing an“upsurge” in NDP support,self-dubbed by New Democratsas the ‘orange wave’ ahead ofthe Oct. 19 vote.

Trovato, a school teacher, andStewart, a retired police officer,thanked their supporters in thetiny office littered with orangeballoons.

Trovato made a point ofhis concerns about growinginequality in Canada.

“The reason that so manyCanadians (immigrate here)

is for hope, for an equal op-portunity. And that’s what theNDP stands for. Whether it’spensions for our seniors, orhealthcare, or good public edu-cation; it’s about creating thatlevel playing field for oppor-tunity. What you do with thatopportunity, that’s up to youthrough hard work, dedicationand sacrifice,” said Trovato.

He said he experiencesinequality daily at his job inBurnaby, where kids come toschool hungry.

No one’s addressing the fun-damental root cause of poverty,said Trovato, who ran unsuc-cessfully for the Richmondschool board last year.

When asked, Trovato saidhealthcare and small businessconcerns were predominantamongst people as he hasgone door-knocking.

His party plans to cut smallbusiness taxes by 20 per cent.

Trovato said families want af-fordable childcare and seniorswant better pensions.

! Liberal openingMeanwhile, down the road

on the north side of Westmin-ster Highway, a stone’s throwoutside his riding, lawyer andLiberal Party of Canada candi-date Joe Peschisolido openedhis office.

Surrounded by a throng ofhappy supporters and vol-unteers nibbling on potatosalad and samosas, the formerMember of Parliament wasquick to trumpet Liberal leaderJustin Trudeau’s platform whilecritiquing the New Democratsand Conservatives.

Not afraid to use the “R”word, Peschisolido said PrimeMinister Stephen Harper isto blame for Canada’s mostrecent recession.

He said the economy,infrastructure, foreign policyand national security are topLiberal priorities, but didn’t gointo detail as to what needs tochange.

When asked what he hasbeen hearing door-to-door, Pe-

schisolido said “a lot of peoplewant change,” however, manyare not “crystalizing” any oneparticular issue.

The Liberal’s greatest compe-tition for evoking “change” isthe NDP.

Peschisolido repeatedTrudeau’s statement that NDPleader Thomas Mulcair doesnot have a clear direction forCanada.

“You cannot implement aTommy Douglas vision ona Stephen Harper budget,”echoed Peschisolido, whonoted the Liberals would run“minor” deficits to pay for moreinfrastructure improvementsacross the country.

He likened the Liberal plan toU.S. president Barack Obama’seconomic policies (since 2011the U.S. and Canada’s GDPgrowth has been similar).

Peschisolido said his partywould work better with citiesand give them more funding.

With his former riding executives erasedfrom the Steveston-Richmond East riding as-sociation website following their resignations,Peschisolido is probably hoping a conflict-plagued August is well in the rear-viewmirror.

Peschisolido was acclaimed the Liberalcandidate last month after Wendy Yuan — aformer Liberal candidate in Vancouver, whohad the support of the local riding associa-tion — failed to pass the vetting process.Yuan blamed her failed bid on internalpolitics. The riding association resigned enmasse on hearing that Peschisolido was ac-claimed as the candidate.

When asked for his thoughts on Conserva-tive candidate Kenny Chiu’s choice to raisethe issue of marijuana law reforms (Chiubeing against any) at the opening of his cam-paign office, Peschisolido responded that hewas “surprised that the most important issuefor Stephen Harper’s representative here inSteveston-Richmond East is marijuana.”

The Liberals want to decriminalize andregulate the drug “and ensure it doesn’t getinto the hands of children,” said Peschiso-lido.

Notably, Chiu was the president of Rich-mond’s Canadian Alliance riding associationwhen Peschisolido crossed the House floorin 2002 to join the Liberals.

Peschisolido ran for the Liberals in Rich-

mond in 2011, garnering 19 per cent of thevote to MP Alice Wong’s 58 per cent.

Going door to door, Peschisolido andTrovato said marijuana law reforms are notsomething many people have spoken tothem about.

“We don’t believe people should have acriminal record for possession,” said Trovato.

When asked about what an important localissue is to him, Stewart said better protectionof the Fraser River’s ecosystem is some-thing the NDP will achieve by strengtheningenvironmental protection laws. “The currentfederal government has allowed environ-mental laws to be gutted. Under the NDP wewould strengthen those laws,” said Stewart,noting the river’s health is important to the

fishing industry.He also said the NDP will invest more

money in clean energy sector.Stewart spent 25 years working as an

officer with the New Westminster Police.He also has 40 years of experience with theCanadian Armed Forces reserves, havingcompleted two projects overseas.

He stated he wants to increase fundingand improve administration at Veterans Af-fairs Canada.

“Its not something one would normallyhear in Richmond but it’s something I’mhearing,” said Stewart.

NDP campaign manager Dale Jackamansaid the joint office was chosen for its cen-trality and to save money.

Richmond city council passed two measures Mon-day night aimed at increasing affordable housing in

the city.Developers building single-family homes on recently

subdivided lots and new townhouses will be askedto pay twice the existing prescribed amount towardRichmond’s affordable housing reserve, according to acity report.

Home developments will be charged $2 per squarefoot, instead of $1 and townhouse developments willbe charged $4 instead of $2.

Furthermore, apartment complexes with fewer than80 units will be charged $6 instead of $4.

Ergo, a new 3,000 square-foot home on a subdividedlot will be charged $6,000.

The new fees will generate an additional $1.5 millionper year, on average, for the next 25 years. In total, thecity expects to collect $76 million to 2041.

Using that money, the city projects 1,978 affordableunits, for low-income households, could be construct-ed between now and 2041 — up from 1,174 units hadthere been no change in the fees.

The money represents 20 per cent of the cost ofthose units with the other 80 per cent coming fromprivate or senior government partnerships.

The city has used its affordable housing reserve cashto help build seniors housing at Kiwanis Towers andsocial and low-income housing at the under-construc-tion Storeys project on Anderson Road.

Coun. Bill McNulty said the new charges do not gofar enough.

“But it gives us leverage, more in the coffers and lotsmore opportunities to do other things,” he added.

The changes do not affect developments of morethan 80 units, which will still be tasked to build five percent of the complex as subsidized affordable housingunits.

No one on council has asked for that charge to bechanged. Earlier this year, developer Dana Wester-mark, speaking for the Urban Development Institute, adevelopment industry stakeholder group, contended ahike in fees would be reasonable to account for marketincreases, however, the five per cent built units havecontinued to keep pace with inflationary costs.

The city contracted G.P. Pollo and Associates, adevelopment consulting firm, to recommend the newcharges, which were last set in 2007.

A city report indicates the 2007 single-family homecharge was set at closer to $2 until a “compromise”with developers was made to set it at $1.

Other cities in the region negotiate affordable hous-ing charges as part of community amenity charges,according to city staff.

Coun. Carol Day said it was good the city has a setpolicy for all developments.

“I think Richmond does a better job on this,” shesaid.

Coun. Derek Dang said the provincial and federalgovernments should fund more housing projects.

Coun. Ken Johnston called on the city to look atother forms of housing development.

Council unanimously passed the new fee structure.Meanwhile, city council voted 8-1 to ensure second-

ary suites are built on at least half of all subdividedsingle-family home lots.

But should the lots be too small or not have ade-quate road access, parking space or services, develop-ers can still choose a $2 per square foot contribution.

The report did not indicate details as to what consti-tutes an unqualified lot for a secondary suite.

Coun. Alexa Loo voted against the policy, stating itwill create more steps for developers, costing time and,thus, money and affordability.

She questioned the fact council will review eachsubdivided development vis-à-vis the secondary suitepolicy. “We could end up with a lot of push and pull,”said Loo.

Day, however, said she liked how council would bemore involved in specific developments.

Mega home bylaw passes 7-2

New residential zoning by-

law amendments to addressthe size of homes officiallypassed Monday evening ata Richmond city councilmeeting.

Councillors Carol Day andHarold Steves voted againstthe amendments, statingthey do not do enough toaddress the massing, orbulkiness, of homes.

Day and Steves wanted thecity to invoke greater limita-tions on ceiling heights. Asit stands now, builders canconstruct five-metre tall ceil-ings and not have that spacecounted as two storeys.

“If a builder or devel-oper wants to build 20 footceilings, they can still dothat but the space will becounted twice,” said Day.

Coun. Bill McNulty votedfor the amendments butsaid they still don’t addressmassing. He said designcontrols need to be lookedat in order to bring homesizes down.

Coun. Ken Johnston calledthe amendments a “goodcompromise.”

Coun. Linda McPhailnoted there is still more workto be done on issues suchas rear yard setbacks.

The new bylaw limitsall home heights to ninemetres, down from 10.5metres.

! Bronze sculpturehonours firefighters

A bronze statue of a genderneutral, masked firefighterhauling a fire hose whileholding an axe will be in-stalled at the new BrighouseFire Hall No. 1 on the cornerof Granville Avenue andGilbert Road.

The $111,000 sculp-ture designed by Victoriaartist Nathan Scott wasunanimously approved byRichmond city council onMonday.

Public art planner EricFiss, in his report to council,said the piece will serve asa “lasting commemoration”to Richmond-Fire Rescue aswell as “enhance the senseof community, place andcivic pride.”

A panel of artists and archi-tects appointed by the Cityof Richmond selected Scott’sfirefighter among 18 othersubmissions.

According to his resume,Scott has been sculpting for17 years and has completeda number of public art com-missions, including ‘TheHomecoming’ bronze statueon Victoria’s waterfront,depicting a sailor bracing fora hug from his daughter andtheir family dog.

Coun. Carol Day, who ear-lier this year was one of manycouncillors who dismissed anart project involving photos

of gingseng, called Scott’spiece “spectacular” and“something for us to enjoy forgenerations to come.”

City raises jet fuel safety concerns

The City of Richmond has raised anumber of safety concerns with the

proponent of the planned jet fuel facility onthe Fraser River.

The city contends the Vancouver AirportFuel Facilities Corporation, a consortiumof airlines, does not adequately addresssome safety related issues, particularlyin how the 80 million-litre, six fuel tankfacility connects with the proposed marineterminal where Panamax-class tankers willunload the product.

Furthermore, the city has noted the tankfacility does not have fire suppressionequipment.

Also, the impact of a seismic event onthe facility “has not been adequately ex-plored,” states a city engineering report.

Another problem is the VAFFC’s plan toplant trees in front of the facility, next tothe dyke. The city contends the trees canimpact the integrity of the dyke.

The city noted the VAFFC did move theproposed pipeline to accommodate devel-opers’ concerns in the Bridgeport area.

Meanwhile, Coun. Alexa Loo wants tomake the best of the situation.

“We’re going to get it, let’s get the bestbenefits out of it,” she told Richmond citycouncil on Monday.

Loo said there are benefits to the project.“I know it’s really important to all of us

that we protect our water, protect our fishand protect our farmland while at the sametime having jobs and keeping people safe.The one thing the fuel pipeline will do is itwill take 1,000 (fuel) trucks off the roads,”said Loo, also noting Vancouver Interna-tional Airport provides tens of thousandsof jobs.

VAFFC is in the process of a public in-formation session as it applies for buildingpermits for the tanks.

The session takes place Thursday from4-7 p.m. at the East Richmond CommunityHall at 12360 Cambie Rd. Questions andcomments are encouraged via email, aswell ([email protected]).

12-hour rough driveworth it to see kids smile

Most of the children — about 80 to 90of them, aged from seven to 12 — werenot at the orphanage when Omeid andhis mom arrived with their gifts, but theyarranged to go back the very next day.

“They had gathered allthe children for us. Theywere super-shy at first; Idon’t think this had everhappened before,” saidOmeid, who was born inAfghanistan, before mov-ing to Canada as a baby.

“We told them wewere from Canada andthen we started hand-ing out the packages ofnotebooks and pencils.They were still really shy,but then they all startedsmiling and giggling. Thatpart was great to see.”

Conditions at the orphanage were “ter-rible, compared to here,” said Omeid,adding that he and his mom were onlyable to travel into Afghanistan because itwas a “safe day.”

“Sometimes it’s safe and sometimes it’snot. It was safe that day,” he said.

“I was a little nervous, but I speak thelocal tongue, Farsi, so that makes thingsa little easier, even if I do have a bit of anaccent.”

After delivering the packages, includingjuice boxes and snacks bought by Omeidout of is own pocket, the pair couldn’t geta flight back across Uzbekistan, so theyhad to drive for 12 hours on a rough road.

“It was worth it,” said Omeid. “It waspretty amazing and it was very emotional

seeing the kids, espe-cially knowing that theydon’t have parents toguide them.

“Going to the orphan-age was a life-changingexperience. Seeing thesekids…in one of the poor-est countries in the worldhad a huge emotionalimpact on me.

“The original reasonI chose to give schoolsupplies was because,if Afghanistan wantsto grow…education isthe number one thing

needed. And you cannot learn without thenecessary tools.”

Omeid and his fellow “Brothers” arenow talking about putting on a slide showfor the Cambie students, to show themhow their $431, raised mostly via a coindrive, benefitted others less fortunate.

Brothers Helping Others is a 15 or so-strong group of all-male, mainly Grade 11Cambie students, which has fundraisedfor various causes for the last three years.

In July, city council was requested byTransLink to appoint a representative to

the senior advisory committee of its South-west Area Transport Plan (SWATP).

It has been 15 years since the originalRichmond Area Transit Plan was com-pleted.

The new Southwest Area Transport Planwill include Richmond, South Delta (Ladnerand Tsawwassen), and Tsawwassen FirstNation and covers the entire transportationnetwork within the identified sub-area of theregion.

The review will identify the long-termvision, priorities, challenges, and oppor-tunities in transit, walking, cycling, driv-ing, goods movement, and transportationdemand management.

As the member of council appointed tothe senior advisory committee for this newplan, I would very much like to hear your in-

put and comments regarding your concernswith respect to transportation.

In Richmond, the city’s long-term trans-portation vision and priorities are includedin the City Centre Area Plan, which wasadopted in 2009, and the Official Commu-nity Plan, which was updated and adoptedin 2012. Each will be used to help guidethe expanded Southwest area planningprocess.

Some of the key improvements envisionedin the city’s plans are:

Transit service: Canada Line service andstation capacity improvements, improvedbus service between Richmond’s city centreand Metrotown in Burnaby, on Sea Island(including Burkeville) and to Fraser Port,more local bus routes that do not necessar-ily travel through the city centre, and newbus service to employment areas lackingtransit services including Mitchell Island.

Transit facilities: off-street bus exchangesat Richmond-Brighouse Station and in Ste-veston to improve connectivity and reduceempty bus circulation/layovers on streets.

Road-goods movement: new additions to

the major road network (e.g., Nelson Road,Blundell Road east of No. 7 Road, RiverParkway, No. 6 Road north of WestminsterHwy, and surrounding roadways near thenew Brighouse bus loop) to secure capitaland maintenance funding.

Cycling: expansion of major street andlocal connecting paths for cycling.

Walking-rolling: expansion of network ofneighbourhood links on local roads andthe closure of gaps in sidewalks on arterialroads.

Transportation demand management:work with TravelSmart on school- andemployer-based activities to improve trans-portation choices and reduce vehicle trips.

For more information on Translink’s AreaPlans, visit translink.ca/en/Plans-and-Proj-ects/Area-Transit-Plans.aspx

Again, please send me your commentsand opinions, during the next few weekseither by letter to the City of Richmond,Attention Chak Au, 6911 No. 3 Road, Rich-mond BC, V6Y 2C1 or you can also reachme via email at: [email protected].

Dear Editor,At the recent public hearing at city

hall, after developers rhetorically askedwhat “affordable housing” is in today’smarket, one resident suggested that anice, livable $1.1 million older houseis realistically the “new affordablehousing.”

Perhaps that is not ideal, but it isnonetheless correct. Unfortunately,a young family who scrapes togethera down payment from working hard,saving up and possibly getting somehelp from the “bank of mom anddad,” still has one major obstacle inthe journey to achieving this.

They may wish to view a houseonly to discover that it has sold to adeveloper in less than a day. Or theymay put an offer on a home only tobe outbid by a developer with deeperpockets.

A developer, who rather than live inthe house with their family and be-come part of the community, will razethis “affordable home” and build onethat will now be sold for almost threetimes the original value.

This is happening at such a rapidrate, the “new affordable housing”market is quickly shrinking in size.

What is the solution?A two-week period before developers

can make an offer on a property?Perhaps. Whatever it is, if the mayor

and councillors are really seriousabout affordable housing in Rich-mond, they need to act before it’s toolate.

Dear Editor,I think it was really great that Kwantlen

Polytechnic University grew its sustain-able garden project in front of theircampus where the public could viewand enjoy.

Thank you Kwantlen.This enabled many people, I’m sure,

to watch nature creating amazing ediblefoods and pretty plants to view.

I especially enjoyed watching thesunflowers grow — gorgeous!!

I hope this can continue in the future.Here is a picture (right) of one of their

sunflowers in the early morning suntoday.

Provincial highway patrolcould aid local enforcement

Dear Editor,Re: “RCMP fail to stop traffic violators,” Let-

ters, Sept. 11.In response to Mr. Bulloch’s letter to the

editor, there is an expression that many of usknow — “Walk a mile in a man’s shoes beforeyou judge him.”

Mr. Bulloch’s letter over simplifies the issueas he is probably unaware of what is actuallygoing on in that police vehicle at the time ofthe incident.

Passing a quick judgement, out of obviousfrustration, does not justify the argument thatthe RCMP is ill-equipped to do city policingand a city police force would do a better job.

I, too, feel frustrated with the driving be-haviors on our streets. However, this problemis not new, nor is it limited to Richmond. Andtraffic enforcement priorities are often placedat the bottom by the administration in manypolice departments in Canada.

As a result, the administration frequentlydepletes the traffic enforcement section tobring the staffing level of other sections to anacceptable level.

Simply put, the dedicated traffic enforce-ment officers are not doing traffic enforce-ment. That leaves us with patrol officers to dotraffic enforcement, as well as attending calls,carrying on investigations, going to court, tak-ing statements, meeting with various agencies, etc.

Having worked in various cities in the LowerMainland for 20 years, I have experiencedmany 12-hour shifts where there were just toomany priority calls to attend to, and too fewofficers on patrol to deal with it all.

In those moments, you often have to let goof traffic violations, as seen by Mr. Bulloch,because you have no other choice.

No officer I know likes to ignore those, butthere are too many other priority calls.

There are so many variants as to why thisofficer in particular did not react to the of-fence it is futile to list them.

What I have experienced is that trafficenforcement is scarce in the Lower Mainland,be it in RCMP or city police jurisdictions, andthere is a shortage of police officers.

If you feel strongly about a violation, pleaserecord the licence plate number and type ofvehicle, then report the offence to the localpolice with your written statement and requestthat a ticket be issued, not a warning.

If you have a question about an officer’sactions or lack thereof, then contact the patrolsupervisor that same day.

As for Mr. Bulloch’s statement that Rich-mond needs a city police force to tackle thelack of traffic enforcement, this is simplisticand misguided. Furthermore, to say that aprivate security company could do traffic en-forcement is dismissing this specialized fieldof law enforcement and calling it amateurish.

Traffic enforcement is a complex policingissue for Canadian city police forces andRCMP alike. Canadian traffic enforcementofficers have been continuously urging theirown agencies to make traffic enforcement apriority.

There have been changes, but not a strongcontinuous commitment from Canadianpolice administrators.

Ten years ago, the provincial governmentinitiated the Integrated Road Safety Units(IRSU) throughout the province to addresstraffic enforcement on our roads. IRSU wascreated to clamp down on aggressive anddangerous driving behaviours and targetproblem areas identified by the local police.

IRSU was made up of officers from RCMPand city police forces. The idea was that IRSUwould visit each city and do targeted enforce-ment on a rotational basis. The IRSU ideawas a good, but police forces still have totake personnel away from their staffing levelto send to these integrated units; no job cre-ated here, either IRSU is short on personnelor the local forces are.

I used to see four to six IRSU officers herein Richmond; they often worked StevestonHighway and high crash intersections.

It made a difference, but for the past fouryears, Richmond has been ignored.

Where are they?How many are there now?IRSU is still in service, but not here.Lastly, if B.C. residents are serious about

traffic enforcement, I would suggest that theprovince creates its own provincial highwaypatrol that operates independently from localpolice forces.

Such highway patrol units are staffed bydedicated and highly specialized officers solocal agencies can keep their officers to dolocal traffic enforcement.

Dear Editor,The Middle East has been a ticking time

bomb for almost 70 years.It reminds me of a great Canadian Prime

Minister, Lester (Mike) Pearson, who helpeddiffuse a potentially explosive situation in thisarea in the 1950s over the Suez Canal, alifeline of the region.

Pearson, who served as Canada’s PrimeMinister from April 22, 1963 to April 20,1968, was a very skilled diplomat and states-man.

He was made a Nobel Laureate in 1957as a result his role in averting a major clashbetween superpowers over the Suez Canalnavigation question.

Despite his minority government, Pear-son made very commendable fundamentalchanges during his regime.

These included universal health care,Canada Pension Plan, race-free immigrationand the Canadian flag.

He was a very down to earth and modestleader. I had the privilege of meeting Mr.Pearson in 1967 on one of his official visits toVancouver and was very impressed with hisdedication to Canada and world peace.

Pearson’s ground-breaking work at theUnited Nations and in international diploma-cy made him as one of the most admired andinfluential Canadians of the 20th century.

Unfortunately, during the past few years,this country has drifted from this policy. The

current crisis in the Middle East and hun-dreds of thousands of refugees running toEurope for their lives needs world leaderssuch as Mike Pearson to take the lead instopping this human misery on an unprec-edented scale.

To its credit, Canada has agreed to openits doors to more refugees than announcedearlier.

All of this is a positive development. Unfor-tunately, the root cause of this problem is stillthere.

ISIL is still waging its ruthless campaign ofkilling and displacing thousands of innocentpeople.

In order to tackle this issue, the entireworld community needs to come togetherand strike a deadly blow at the ISIL.

With a concerted international effort, thiscrisis should also blow over, eventually.

In the meantime, whichever party gets theopportunity to form the next government onOct. 19, needs to seriously revisit our foreignpolicy.

We must recognize that, in military terms,Canada is not even a middle power.

In order to regain its lost respect and pres-tige on the international stage, getting backto our earlier policy of taking an active roleof a peacekeeper and peacemaker may beworth consideration.

Nutty Hershey is sweetest of them all

How do you describe what yourdaschund/Scots terrier/Labrador

crossbreed looks like?I tried, at first, to pass our rescue-dog

Hershey off as a completely new breed— which I made up — called a Scottishdaschund.

This little rouse flew, for a time, whenthe question was posed by the lesser-learned dog owner, not least becauseHershey’s owner has a Scottish ac-cent and she is a weird creature, witha shape and face rarely frequentingthe podium at Crufts. “Oh really?” they

would say, “I haven’t heard of that breedbefore.” We would retort, “yes, very rarethey are.”

But we inevitably got called out for thepoor liars that we were. And so the stockreply to the Hershey question became,“Have you seen the movie Shrek? Youknow his sidekick, Donkey? Yea, that’sHershey.”

Suffice to say, she is a strange-lookinglittle beast, laughable to the naked eyewith her belly, short legs, big ears andgrey beard. But lovable to anyone whoeven looks in her direction, aside fromrabbits and squirrels, who, one day, sheaspires to eat — dead or alive.

“How old is your puppy?” is also oftenasked of the disproportionate eight-year-

old we call “Smelly” and “Hersheybar.”She’s also slightly mad and has the

propensity to randomly headbutt peoplein the groin, knocking them clean offtheir feet — if you’re not expecting it(and there’s no reason you should).

And, if the fancy takes her, usually atthe wrong moment, she slips her leashand shows off by running maniacal largedoughnuts around her rather fearfulsubjects, before slumping exhausted.

We’ve tried to blame her behaviour onher raw food diet, which, who knows,could have an effect on her brain, aswell as adding protein to her muscle.

But she’s just Hershey; troubled“daughter” of myself and my wife andcrazy “little sister” to 13-year-old Ben.

They’re open for businessand ready and willing to

accept donations.That’s the message from

the Richmond Animal Pro-tection Society’s (RAPS) newthrift store manager LauraPadulo, just a few weeks afterher predecessors retired.

According to Padulo — anda few of the many volunteerswho help keep the GranvilleAvenue charity shop alive —there was a misconceptionthat the store was closing dueto the retirement of formermanagers, Ed and MarieMalinoski.

As a result, claimed Padu-lo, the number of customersvisiting the store and theamount of donations droppedsignificantly.

“The ones that were com-ing in kept saying they’d readwe were closing, because ofEd and Marie retiring,” saidPadulo, an animal lover andcat owner, who has volun-teered at the store for morethan three years.

“But we are very muchopen for business and,since we got the word out on

facebook and things like thatrecently, people have startedto come back in and dona-tions have risen again.”

Asked why she stepped upto take the role as manager,Padulo said she was “alwaysin there anyway, so ‘why not?’

“Somebody had to step up,or we would have to closeand I couldn’t have that hap-pening,” added Padulo.

The News reported lastmonth how the Malinoskisdecided to retire from volun-tarily running the store after10 years without a vacation.

Both of them, however, stillvolunteer at the store.

! Meanwhile, RAPS is host-ing one of its biggest annualfundraisers for the year, thePaws & Pumpkins HalloweenGala on Saturday, Oct. 31.

The event is being held atthe Pacific Gateway Hotel onCessna Drive from 6 p.m.,with live and silent auctions,dinner, prizes, a live bandand dancing. Tickets are $90each; a table of 10 is $800,which includes dinner andentertainment and a $50 taxreceipt per ticket.

Tickets are available on604-275-2036, at any RAPSlocation or online at www.rapsociety.com.

At Tong Moo Do School, martial arts isabout developing leadership skills and

learning what it means to be a good person.The school has a heavy emphasis on teach-

ing students life skills, both through discussionand martial arts training.“We focus on leadership development and

character development,” said master JosephJung, whose family owns the school. “We usemartial arts as a vehicle to develop leaders,”he said.All classes at the school are based on themes

relating to leadership and character develop-ment. Past themes that they have used includeconMdence, courage, collaboration, dedication,integrity and honesty.“Every month we have a different theme

and we talk about a different aspect of what itmeans to be a leader,” Jung said.The goal of classes is not just to teach what

each theme means within the context of thephysical act of martial arts training, but what itmeans in everyday situations as well.“We give examples of how it can be applied

into their lives in different, everyday things,”Jung added.Lessons based around the month’s theme

are taught during classes both explicitly andimplicitly. The explicit part involves a discus-sion of the theme, while “the implicit part iswithin the martial arts training itself,” Jungsaid. This means “teaching character devel-opment through the actual physical trainingwhat it means to set goals, what it means to bededicated, what it means to work hard, thosetypes of things.”The physical part of training is done ac-

cording to Tong Moo Do, which is a martialarts style that mixes aspects of different stylestogether.“It’s the concept of trying the best parts from

a variety of martial arts styles and combiningthose into one system,” said Jung.During classes, they also try to model strong

characters and what it means to be a leader.The goal is for students to look to both theirteachers as role models “and hopefully theirpeers as well,” said Jung.While each class is designed to be a learning

experience, the instructors also strive to maketraining fun and exciting.Importantly, especially for newcomers, they

also make sure that classes are safe for every-

One corner of Richmondwill be getting down to its

hometown, country roots thisSaturday (Sept. 19) with the

56th annual Country Fair atSouth Arm United Church.

From 9:30 a.m. to 3:30p.m., the area at No. 3 Rd.

and Steveston Hwy. will bea hive of activity with hayrides, carnival games, somegood old-fashioned baking, a

silent auction, entertainmentand garage sale.

“The country fair meansmany things to manypeople,” says Lauri Kerr,one the volunteers who ishelping organize this year’sevent. “The hidden treasuresin the thousands of garagesale items, the never-endingsupply of books. The homebaking that tastes just likegrandma’s (because it is).And all the auction itemsand crafts.”

Kerr adds she feels for-tunate to have been bornand raised in Richmondand South Arm United hasalways played a big role infostering a sense of belong-ing.

“To me, the fall fair repre-sents a community comingtogether from all walks of life,as there is something for ev-eryone,” she says. “Now thatI am a mother I can againenjoy the thrill of the cakewalk, hoping that you are onthe lucky number when themusic stops.”

And there will be plenty ofcakes as more than 300 willbe uniquely decorated withjellybeans and gummy bears.

For a truly authenticcountry view, climb aboard a

bale for a hay ride past somesurrounding farms.

And then there’s the food.You can kick things off

bright and early with an egg“Bert” breakfast bun.

“But save room for thetastiest burgers around,and don’t forget the bakedpotatoes,” Kerr says.

Then there’s popsicles,ice cream, candy bags andcotton candy.

“But whatever you do,make sure you take the timeto relax in the tea room forwhat everyone has talked

about for 56 years — thestrawberry shortcake,”Kerr says, referring to thehome made “hot milk” caketopped with whipped creamand local strawberries thatare described as being just“heavenly.”

Just make sure to be thereearly to enjoy it.

“Our closest guess is thatwe serve approximately 500people in the tea room andwe usually sell out before 2p.m.,” Kerr said.

Admission and parking forthe fair are both free.

Topupyourmeasureof suspicion

Rats totally devastated my garden this year.They nibbled my tomatoes, even those

high on the vine; they bit into my beets andzucchini; they chomped on my cucumbersand gnawed through the stalks of my poleand bush beans, killing all plants.

They decapitated my sunflowers, manglingthe heads on the ground. I bought traps andbaited them with peanut butter. I’ve watchedthe rats slink past them. Clearly, for most ratssuspicion is stronger than greed.

I never suspected suspicion’s origin was aword — the Latin verb “suspicere” — thatsignified to look up at, and which was usedfiguratively with the meaning to admire,respect. Woven into this meaning is the senseof fear, dread, mistrust. Since the late 15thcentury, we’ve employed the verb suspectto also mean surmise, usually with negativeovertones. Rats could teach us a thing or twoabout suspicion. We evidently no longer pos-sess it in sufficient measure. We’ve becomecomplacent — a word formed from the Latin“complacere,” to be very pleasing, whichin the 18th century acquired the sense ofpleased with oneself. Thus lulled into feelingself-satisfied, we’ve neglected the defences ofour primitive instinct for survival. We are noweasily baited and trapped.

A few months ago I was glancing througha local supermarket flyer and noticed oneof the pricier Crest toothpastes on sale at aridiculously low price. How could I not takeadvantage of such an offer? I stocked up.When I opened the first tube the blue specks

in the gel perplexed me, but I dismissedthem as yet another gimmick. Soon after-wards I read alarming news about certain tinyparticles called microbeads found in variouspersonal care products, including toothpaste.I learned that those blue specks in my tubeof Crest were not another gimmick, but ratherthe controversial plastic particles calledmicrobeads. Microbeads — identified in aproduct’s ingredient list as polyethylene orpolypropylene — remain in waste water andlead to plastic particle water pollution. Theyend up in the food chain, gobbled up by tinyfish, which are gobbled up in turn by otherforms of marine life, and which eventuallyare consumed by us. Countries around theworld are taking steps to ban microbeads.The European Union is at the forefront of thiscampaign. Canada announced this past sum-mer that it would be adding microbeads to itslist of toxic substances. Certain companies,such as Colgate-Palmolive and Unilever, havealready phased them out.

The crisis that helped expose the dangerof microbeads was the revelation in 2012and 2013 of the extent to which they werepolluting the Great Lakes. Lakes Superior andHuron revealed about 7,000 plastic particlesper square kilometre, while Lake Michiganhad 17,000, Lake Erie 46,000 and LakeOntario 248,000.

Wary of the lures of irresistible offers in theweekly flyer, I’m now armed with a magnify-ing glass to peruse the tiny, generally illegiblelist of ingredients on packaging. If I spotpolyethylene or polypropylene, I let suspicionoverpower my temptation and walk away fromthe trap.

Addiction fundraiser rolling

PHILIPRAPHAELStaff ReporterPRAPHAELRICHMONDNEWS.COM

While not all the funding cracks atRichmond Addiction Services Society

(RASS) can be filled in with the introductionof a new fundraising bike ride, hopes are itwill get things rolling in that direction start-ing this Sunday (Sept. 20).

That’s when RASS is holding its initialRecovery Day in Canada Bike-A-Thon.

Starting from Thompson CommunityCentre at 10 a.m., about 35to 40 riders are expected tofollow a 12 km route alongthe middle arm dyke to theRichmond Oval and back.

Expectations are the eventwill raise roughy $10,000for RASS which relies on themajority of its funding fromprovincial and civic govern-ment sources.

What is needed is about$50,000 to help provide ahalf-time youth and familycouncillor, said Rick Dubras,executive director with RAS.

“But this is our first year and we hopeto make it an annual event,” said Dubras.“Essentially, we want to ensure there areenough counsellors on hand to meet theneed.”

The bike-a-thon is to be one of the high-

lights locally for Recovery Month in Canadawhich the health community has earmarkedSeptember as the time to raise awarenessabout the stigma behind substance use,misuse and addictions.

The ride for RASS starts with registrationat 9 a.m. and all participants must wearhelmets.

Funds are being raised through a $10 reg-istration fee, and all riders are also encour-aged to sell a book of raffle tickets to friendsand family to help support the event.

Each book contains five, $5 tickets. Drawsfor prizes will be made Sunday afternoon

following the ride.Registration for riders can

also be made on the day.Free parking will be

available at nearby Burnettsecondary school. ThompsonCommunity Centre parkingwill not be open for bike-a-thon participants.

After the ride is completedat approximately 11:30 a.m.,there will be live entertain-ment provided, in part, bysingers who took part in thisyear’s RichCity Idol competi-

tion. There will also be purchase options forrefreshments and lunch.

To conclude the day’s activities a guestspeaker will talk about recovery from addic-tion.

For more information call RASS at 604-270-9220.

Apair of solo shows that look atlife, love, food and intimacy in

the busy world of today form a dou-ble bill as Gateway Theatre’s PacificTheatre series continues this week.

From Sept. 17 -19 MayMay Chanbrings a multi-sensory feast as shecooks on stage during the comedyCook Your Life which follows a recipeof how to manage relationships inthe hustle and bustle of contempo-rary society.

Her performance is followed byEric Tang’s MeChat, a take on theisolation many feel in a world wherecyber relations have become com-monplace methods of interaction.

Both performances will be per-formed in Cantonese with Englishsurtitles.

Esther Ho, producer of the PacificFestival said the pair of productionsoffer unique glimpses into two verydifferent worlds.

While the stories Chan presents —as she prepares a meal the audiencecan sample — are typically HongKong-themed, there have been somechanges to localize some aspectsthat relate to life for immigrants whonow call Metro Vancouver home.

“It’s more about the Canadian fam-ily ways where kids rarely see theirparents who have left to go backhome (Hong Kong) for business,”Ho said. “It’s also about the longdistance relationships many interna-tional students have had to managewhen they come here for school,then have to return home.”

But the main premise is how ahectic schedule has put a strain onrelationships.

At the other end of the scale —and separated by a 15-minuteintermission as sets are completelychanged — is Tang’s MeChat whichfocuses on the disconnect in socialbehaviour brought on by the preva-lence of life in cyberspace.

“The Chinese name for this pro-duction is ‘Dry,’” Ho said, referringto how Hong Kong youth refer tothe lack of authentic social experi-ences in their lives as they opt for lifeonline.

“Nothing is happening for them

and life is so boring,” Ho added.“They prefer pursuing cyber connec-tions and don’t have many face-to-face meetings with people.”

Ho said it was ambitious to placea double bill into the Pacific Festivallineup, but it was the perfect oppor-tunity to offer a diverse set of playsto help continue building a diverse

audience for the series of produc-tions on stage at the Pacific Festivalthrough the month of September.

Cook Your Life and MeChat runSept. 17 - 19 on the MainStage atGateway Theatre. Showtime is 8 p.m.

For more information and tickets,visit gatewaytheatre.com.

FASHION FOCUSMild weather means bold colours !!

fafaisoRaCL

With summer windingdown, the fall fashionseason is upon us.

Fortunately for us westcoasters, our friends atEnvironment Canadaare calling for anothermild fall and winter. Thiswill be reflected in whatwe can expect to see instores this season.

Lighter materials andform fitting dresses willbe hot this fall, alongwith deep vibrant colourssuch as ocean blue androyal purple, and, un-fortunately, greys will beback (yawn).

Also making a come-back will be patentleather. Expect to see this

on not only boots andshoes, but some trims aswell.

If you are looking forjewelry to match, bling isback in a big way.

Oversized jewelry witha simplistic look is whatyou are after. Stick withred and gold tones, asthey look best next tocool colours such asblues and purples.

And in a tread we haveseen continuing sincespring, expect to seesome fashions that youmay have seen in yourcloset back in the ‘70s.

What’s in store for menthis fall may come as abit of a surprise to some;apparently fur is set tomake a comeback. I amnot so sure I would seesome of Richmond’s

fashion-forward males,like Amit Sandhu orWayne Duzita, stroll-ing down the Stevestonboardwalk in a luxuriousfur coat, and frankly Iwouldn’t blame them.

Safe bets for men thisfall are the colour bur-gundy and long neckscarfs, as they are bothset to hit the stores thisautumn.

Should EnvironmentCanada be wrong andthe fall season hits usharder than expected,you may want to book aflight someplace sunnyand warm!

If you do, be sure tohead over to Jet LagTravel Fashion Boutiquein Steveston and pickyourself up some cruisewear.

Questionable memories, terror andsuspicion colonize The Devil You

Know by Elisabeth De Mariaffi, likemaggots colonizing a corpse.

First-time novelist De Mariaffi hits itout of the park with this smart, scarythriller that’ll have you checking underyour bed every night.

With a chilling plot and eerie details,De Mariaffi hooks the reader into theworld of violence against girls andwomen, and doesn’t let go till the end.

The star of the novel is Evie Jones, arookie reporter with the Toronto FreePress, who’s been tasked with cover-ing the crime beat.

That wouldn’t be so unusual if itweren’t for the fact that it’s 1993 andthe city is petrified by a serial rapist/

murderer. Sitting outside Paul Ber-nardo’s house, waiting to see what theguys in the white moon suits come outwith, could set anyone’s imaginationoff. But when you’re 21 and living onyour own for the first time, well….thatkind of horror is an invitation to fear.

A by-product of her work at thenewspaper, Evie begins to obsessabout her childhood friend LianneGagnon’s murder at age 11 by a mannamed Robert Cameron, who wasnever caught.

The more Evie digs into Lianne’sunsolved murder, the creepier thestory gets, and the wilder her imagina-tion becomes. She reaches the pointwhere she thinks she sees a manout on her fire escape looking in herwindow.

Is he real, or is he imagined?And if the guy’s real, is it Lianne’s

killer coming after Evie?With each new piece of information

Evie uncovers, her anxiety ramps up.Evie’s close friend David tries to tem-

per her anxiety but she’s having noneof it, and risks her own safety goingafter the man she thinks is the killer.

Despite her erratic behavior, David’sdevotion to Evie is unwavering and itkills him to see her so obsessed.

Replaying scary scenarios over andover, Evie psychs herself out to thepoint of getting physically sick withanxiety. Evie’s father says: “Look atwhat you do for a living….Your job isthe anxiety machine. You’re mainlin-ing fear.”

Multiple identities, false memories,murders and countless coincidencesadd up to a superbly written thriller.

You may be terrified reading it, butyou’ll love every second of it!

Steveston author Marty Allenwill be at Black Bond Books

The novel, titled Cordelia, isthe first in a crime series aboutRCMP Cpl. James Vaanes.

“The main character is kindof a stubborn man, who doesthings his own way. He’s alsohaving to get used to beingback in a town he grew up infrom 20 years ago,” explainedAllen.

The novel sees the maincharacter return to his home-town on Vancouver Island tohead up major crimes for thefirst time in his career.

Vaanes is forced into thespotlight when a young Ab-original woman is murderedunder his watch, according tothe book’s back cover.

“The disturbing discoverydivides the tight-knit commu-nity and plunges Vaanes intoa web of tangled secrets thatleads to unsolved cases in hispast,” it reads.

Allen counts crime writer IanRankin as an inspiration andsaid the second book in theseries is “basically done” andthat he’s starting the third.

Allen will be at Black BondBooks on Sunday, Sept. 27from 1 to 3 p.m.

living legend comes to the Gateway Theatre Pacific FestivalThis month, Gateway Theatre welcomes Richmond residents to the Gateway Theatre Pacific Festival.

This is truly a festival for everyone, featuring the best and brightest from Hong Kong’s stages, with English surtitlesopening up the festival to the entire community.

One of the festival’s highlights is the performance of living legend Chung King Fai in an internationally acclaimedproduction of Tuesdays withMorrie. Considered the “Laurence Olivier”of Hong Kong theatre, Chung King Fai hasstarred in countless theatrical productions and has won over 10 Hong Kong Drama Awards. He is a true pioneer ofthe industry, introducingWestern conventions such as Broadway musicals and Theatre of the Absurd toHong Kong audiences. As well as being an iconic stage actor, he has starred in multiple television series since the1970’s, making him one of the longest-standing celebrities in China.

His influence extends far beyond his own stage and screen career. He is the founding Dean of the School of Dramaat the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. Considered a right of passage for actors serious about their craft,the school has produced some of the most successful performers in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.Chung King Fai’s influence on his students is akin to that of revered American acting teacher Lee Strasberg of theActors Studio.

This is hisWestern Canada debut and a rare opportunity for residents to see a living legend at work.Join us for Tuesdays withMorrie, as well as all of the festival’s exciting programming, at this year’s GatewayTheatre Pacific Festival!

SPORTS Beyond the Scores

Mark BOOTHSports [email protected]

Fearless Trojans tackle B.C. powerhouse

Bill Haddow is making sure his team will be battle-testedfor the playoffs even if they happen to breeze through con-ference play for the second straight year.The Trojans outscored their opponents 135-16 in route to

a perfect run in the AA Southern Conference last season.They are favoured to claim first again and the task mayseem even easier compared to what they are currentlyencountering in the pre-season.Their opponents should get no tougher than it did last

week when Boyd hosted defending provincial AAA cham-pion and pre-season No. 1 ranked South Delta.The Tsawwassen school came to town with a 34-player

roster that features plenty of returning talent and depth atnearly every position. Meanwhile, the lowered tiered Trojansare hovering around 20 players and begin the season withtheir No. 1 quarterback slated for knee surgery.The Sun Devils did the expected and rolled to a 46-13 vic-

tory but Haddow also got exactly what he was hoping for.The longtime head coach wanted to give his top end play-

ers an opportunity to line-up against the very best — es-pecially in the trenches with both teams having formidablelines. It was also a great night for the program with a bigcrowd coming out in ideal late summer weather to watch ahigh-profile opponent.“Our guys were extremely nervous before the game, to

the point where I had them doing breathing exercises in thelocker room before we were even on the field,” said Had-dow. “They eventually settled down and played very hard.“That is a very good football team with some very good

players but we hung in there.”The Trojans fell behind 16-0 early in the first quarter when

Grade 11 Robbie Conroy showcased his excellent speed toreturn the ensuing kickoff 80 yards for the major score.Starting quarterback Taylor Pencer, filling in for the injured

senior Tyler Moxin, showed flashes of his potential beforeleaving the game with an undisclosed injury. That meant2014 provincial all-star tailback Gabe Saklofski had to stepin at pivot for the second half and added the Trojans’ othermajor on a long option run.“It shows what a team player Gabe is,” added Haddow.

“He was the best back in our league last season and is run-

ning behind a fabulous offensive line. It was a big night forhim but he also understood the situation and stepped in.”The Trojans host former league rival Seaquam on Friday

(7 p.m.) before continuing their challenging pre-seasonschedule a week later in Parksville against No. 4 AA Bal-

lenas.It was the Whalers who ended their season a year ago

with a 42-12 home field loss in the provincial quarter-finals.Boyd begins the season as an honourable mention in the

B.C. AA rankings.

McNair grad leads UBC to big win over No. 2 TWUAmrit Berar couldn’t have picked a bet-

ter spot for her first two goals of theseason.The fourth-year forward with the UBC

Thunderbirds women’s soccer team sup-plied all the offence in a 2-0 upset win overNo. 2 nationally ranked Trinity Western onFriday night in Langley.Playing in front of over 600 TWU support-

ers, the McNair graduate struck in the sixthminute of play, then added an insurance tallyin the 59th minute.The loss snapped the Spartans’ 15-game

home-winning streak, dating back twoyears.

TWU owned much of the possession, re-flective in the 6-1 advantage in corner kicks.However, Berar made the most ofher opportunities.She capitalized on a turnover

deep in the Spartans end and firedhome a shot to the bottom left cor-ner from the middle of the penaltyarea.She then got on the end of a

perfect back post cross from TaylorShannik to volley it home.The Thunderbirds currently sit at

2-1-0 in conference play and willhost Alberta and UNBC next Friday

and Saturday respectively at 7 p.m.Berar came through Richmond Girls Soc-

cer playing for the highly successfulRed Hot Selects, coached by CliveClarke.Meanwhile, Clarke’s daughter is

continuing her strong start to theNCAA season at Louisiana StateUniversity.Summer Clarke had two goals

and one assist in the Tigers 4-1 winover Indiana last week. The juniorforward now has four goals andtwo assists in eight matches for the5-1-2 Tigers.

Clarke’s tallies came with the game noteven 10 minutes old. She opened the scor-ing in the seventh minute and struck againtwo minutes later. Indiana had entered thematch with four consecutive shutouts.“We had watched some film on them and

noticed in other games they played that theyhad given the forwards a lot of time to turn,”said Clarke.“Our coaches just told us to go out and

take advantage of that, so that’s what I triedto do as best I could.”LSU also defeated No. 15 Duke 1-0 on

Sunday for its first win over a nationallyranked opponent since 2013.Amrit Berar

The Grandview Steelers continued wherethey picked off at Minoru Arenas, this

time handing the Richmond Sockeyes aheartbreaking loss in their home opener.Adam Rota netted the equalizer with

just one second remaining and Tim Chowscored in the second overtime period to liftthe visitors to a dramatic 4-3 victory. Thelast time the Steelers visited Richmond wastheir 3-2 game seven playoff win last March— ending the Sockeyes’ season.Rota’s tying goal came after the Sockeyes’

Tyler Paterson was given a major for board-ing with eight seconds remaining.The son of former Vancouver Canuck

Darcy Rota also had an assist on Chow’sgame winner.The Sockeyes had never trailed in the

contest, leading 2-0 after 40 minutes ongoals by Evan Thomas and Connor Alder-son. Nicholas Wicks then gave his teama 3-2 lead on a power play tally with 1:30

remaining, setting the stage for Grandview’slate heroics.Richmond had opened the Pacific Junior

Hockey League regular season two nightsearlier with a 1-0 win over the Delta IceHawks in Ladner.The Sockeyes completely dominated

the opening two periods but had noth-ing to show for it thanks to the heroics ofIce Hawks goaltender Jacob Latrace. Thesecond-year Seafair Minor Hockey productturned aside all 49 shots, while the Hawkshad managed just 14 on Kurt Russell.Finally, Jeevan Sidhu broke the deadlock

midway through the third period on one ofRichmond’s 10 power play opportunities.Delta actually outshot Richmond 14-11 inthe final 20 minutes as Russell stopped 28shots for the shutout.The Sockeyes return to action Thursday

when the Mission City Outlaws visit Minoruat 7 p.m.

Amidst a crowd of support-ers Sunday afternoon,

Richmond Centre candidateJack Trovato and Steveston-Richmond East candidateScott Stewart, both of the NewDemocratic Party of Canada,opened their joint campaignoffice on No. 3 Road, acrossfrom Richmond City Hall.

Stewart said going door-to-door, he’s been seeing an“upsurge” in NDP support,self-dubbed by New Democratsas the ‘orange wave’ ahead ofthe Oct. 19 vote.

Trovato, a school teacher, andStewart, a retired police officer,thanked their supporters in thetiny office littered with orangeballoons.

Trovato made a point ofhis concerns about growinginequality in Canada.

“The reason that so manyCanadians (immigrate here)

is for hope, for an equal op-portunity. And that’s what theNDP stands for. Whether it’spensions for our seniors, orhealthcare, or good public edu-cation; it’s about creating thatlevel playing field for oppor-tunity. What you do with thatopportunity, that’s up to youthrough hard work, dedicationand sacrifice,” said Trovato.

He said he experiencesinequality daily at his job inBurnaby, where kids come toschool hungry.

No one’s addressing the fun-damental root cause of poverty,said Trovato, who ran unsuc-cessfully for the Richmondschool board last year.

When asked, Trovato saidhealthcare and small businessconcerns were predominantamongst people as he hasgone door-knocking.

His party plans to cut smallbusiness taxes by 20 per cent.

Trovato said families want af-fordable childcare and seniorswant better pensions.

! Liberal openingMeanwhile, down the road

on the north side of Westmin-ster Highway, a stone’s throwoutside his riding, lawyer andLiberal Party of Canada candi-date Joe Peschisolido openedhis office.

Surrounded by a throng ofhappy supporters and vol-unteers nibbling on potatosalad and samosas, the formerMember of Parliament wasquick to trumpet Liberal leaderJustin Trudeau’s platform whilecritiquing the New Democratsand Conservatives.

Not afraid to use the “R”word, Peschisolido said PrimeMinister Stephen Harper isto blame for Canada’s mostrecent recession.

He said the economy,infrastructure, foreign policyand national security are topLiberal priorities, but didn’t gointo detail as to what needs tochange.

When asked what he hasbeen hearing door-to-door, Pe-

schisolido said “a lot of peoplewant change,” however, manyare not “crystalizing” any oneparticular issue.

The Liberal’s greatest compe-tition for evoking “change” isthe NDP.

Peschisolido repeatedTrudeau’s statement that NDPleader Thomas Mulcair doesnot have a clear direction forCanada.

“You cannot implement aTommy Douglas vision ona Stephen Harper budget,”echoed Peschisolido, whonoted the Liberals would run“minor” deficits to pay for moreinfrastructure improvementsacross the country.

He likened the Liberal plan toU.S. president Barack Obama’seconomic policies (since 2011the U.S. and Canada’s GDPgrowth has been similar).

Peschisolido said his partywould work better with citiesand give them more funding.
