Farmers still have some local fields flooded as final berries come off plants

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Farm workers continued wading through flooded fields this week to harvest Richmond’s most bountiful crop—and growers are calling it a good season.

“It was a good year, especially coming off the last two years where we’ve had poor weather,” said Peter Dhillon, a longtime local cranberry grower.

Cranberries are big business in Richmond, the largest producer of the round red fruit among Canadian cities with more than 60 farms, ac-cording to city hall statistics.

Some farmers are still pulling ber-ries off their fields, while Dhillon’s local crop has all been harvested.

A cold and wet June didn’t do cranberries any favours, but a rela-tively warm summer turned what would have been a poor year into a better-than-average year for some farmers.

“We’re happy and pleased with it,” said Dhillon. “A lot of the growers are quite pleased with it as well.”

As for the wetter-than-average Oc-tober, Dhillon said that didn’t have an impact on the harvest, for which fields are flooded and floating ber-ries are skimmed from the surface.

“We need a lot of water anyway,” he said. “It’s a little bit more difficult for working conditions, but it’s not bad at all.”

Once harvested, most local cran-berries are transported to a new $26-million processing facility in East Richmond. Dhillon said the fa-cility had a few “teething pains” in

handling its first harvest, but is oth-erwise working well.

Many other local cranberry fields are owned by the May family. Ralph May said this season is indeed bet-

ter than last.“Some people are up, some people

are down, but it’s on average much better than last year and kind of a more normal season than last year.”

Most Richmond berries head to Washington state, where they’re processed for juice and Craisins—Ocean Spray’s sweet-and-dried snack product.

Mayor and council from Wakayama to share tea, stories during community tea at Steveston-London secondary Monday afternoon

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

If you’ve got a story to share about your sister city connection to Wakayama, then you’re invited to a community tea on Monday afternoon at Steveston-London Secondary.

Sylvia Gwozd, chair of Richmond sister-city committee, told The Richmond Review the mayor of Wakayama and members of that

Japanese city’s council are flying into town on Sunday, and will be participating in the community tea from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.

With the 40th anniversary of Richmond’s sister-city relation-ship with Wakayama taking place next year, organizers wanted to give the community an opportu-nity to share their stories, photos and memories with Wakayama’s city council.

A book is being written on the history of Richmond’s relationship with Wakayama, and Monday’s

gathering, inside Steveston-Lon-don’s library, will collect informa-tion for the book’s author.

Wakayama council is in town un-til mid-week, and will be partici-pating in cultural activities, visiting the Alexandra District Energy Util-ity, which uses geothermal energy to heat and cool some 500 new residential units, and plans to visit the city’s Sharing Farm.

Gwozd said the city has forged a strong bond with the people of Wakayama, especially through the exchange program.

“The richness of the homestay experience is something that can’t be duplicated in any number of tourist trips,” Gwozd said. Even af-ter just three of four days, students from Richmond and Wakayama find a connection despite the dif-ferences in culture and language.

“I think this is something very special that our world needs to experience.”

$30 million replacement for Richmond Centre’s food court has open-air feel and fine dining theme


Hundreds of people huddled inside Richmond Centre on Thursday morn-ing, eager to get their first look at the new $30 million Dining Terrace, which replaces the mall’s food court.

A pair of escalators lead to the new second-floor eating area—where the mall’s theatres once stood—which now boasts a decidedly upscale theme and open-air feel.

And with many of the prior food court’s favourites returning, along with some notable newcomers, the in-vestment appears to have been well-placed, based on the looks of those who were among the first to eat there.

Ryan Siemens, of PCL Construction, said the new dining area took 184,000 person hours to build, and boasts the latest in green technology, including local materials and extra efforts for recycling.

Richmond Centre marketing director

Leslie Matheson said The Dining Terrace features 18 food retailers, up from the previous 15, and offers more seating, hand washing basins in the midst of the eating area, bigger washrooms—including a family room and a nursing room—and a complete recycling area for plastics and organic waste.

Matheson said the new facility isn’t a food fair at all, but will give the impres-sion to visitors, through its consistent design theme, of being in a single res-taurant with 18 different sections.

Project would feature 131 apartments and two restaurantsby Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

A proposal that would dramatical-ly change the appearance of a busy corner in downtown Richmond is awaiting city council’s approval.

CCM Investment Group Ltd. wants to built a 47-metre (154-foot) tower at 8380 Lansdowne Rd. The site is at the corner of Lansdowne and Cooney roads, across from Lansd-owne Centre mall.

Proposed is a 12-storey residential tower over a three-storey parkade, designed by IBI Group. Contained in the development is 131 homes, 7,044 square feet of restaurant space and 2,915 square feet of re-

tail room. One large restaurant is proposed to anchor the corner of the development, while a smaller restaurant would front Lansdowne Road.

A two-storey strip mall with ten-ants that include Shanghai Won-derful Restaurant would be demol-ished to make way for the project, if city council approves. The land is already appropriately zoned, so no public hearing is scheduled.

The 0.36-hectare (0.9-acre) prop-erty is near a residential high-rise where some residents previously protested against another neigh-bouring tower.

Francisco Molina, senior planner at Richmond City Hall, said in a report the new proposal has “successfully addressed and resolved the on-site challenges posed by a very narrow corner site and the need for achiev-ing a sensitive interface with exist-ing residential buildings in the area.”

Tower eyed for Cooney and Lansdowne

YVR boss Larry Berg to retire next year

Larry Berg will be re-tiring early next year after 15 years as presi-dent and CEO of the Vancouver Airport Au-thority.

Mary Jordan, chair of the Vancouver Airport Authority board, said the board will conduct an international search to fill the position, and Berg will remain until his successor is chosen.

“It’s been a real plea-sure to have been a part of this organization over the past 20 years,” Berg said in a press release. “The entire team at YVR has always worked to put our community and province first, and I think that shows in the kind of airport we’ve become and the inter-national recognition and accolades YVR has earned over the years. Becoming a commu-nity-controlled airport back in 1992 really set us on a unique and envi-able course, particularly when it came to being an economic engine for our entire province. Whether it’s new termi-nals, runways, retail or the completion of the Canada Line, this air-port and its people have built something every British Columbian can be proud of, and there’s plenty more to come.”

Jordan said she ex-pects the search for a new president and CEO to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2013.

Drivers still dominate latest TransLink trip survey

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

The car remains king —despite the aim of getting many more Metro Van-couverites taking transit, cycling or walking.

TransLink’s trip diary survey takes a 24-hour snapshot of residents’ movements every three years and newly released results show transit use hasn’t caught on as fast as many advocates had hoped.

The share of trips taken on transit in the region edged up only slightly from 13 per cent in 2008 to 14 per cent in 2011.

Walking has stayed un-changed through mul-tiple surveys at about 11 per cent.

And cycling grew from 1.5 to 1.8 per cent in the three-year period.

Meanwhile, 73 per cent of all trips were taken by car – down only slightly from 75 per cent in 2011 and 77 per cent in 1994.

“I think we’re going in the right direction,” SFU City Program director Gordon Price said.

But he acknowledged

the latest numbers are a long way from the goals set out in TransLink’s Transportation 2040 plan, which aims to have the majority of trips in the region taken by the sustainable modes of transit, walking or cy-cling by that year.

“It does tell me that peo-ple are still in the learning mode,” Price said. “You don’t get instant con-version. There really is a learning experience you have to go through.”

Price is among those who saw the 2010 Olym-pics as a major turning point for transit in Metro Vancouver, converting dyed-in-the-wool drivers when they saw how effec-tive good transit could be.

He’s still optimistic that more detailed trip num-bers still to be released for each sub-region will show big gains in cities served by the Canada Line.

But he also expects the regional average num-bers released so far mask big disparities in transit and car use between the rapidly growing outer suburbs and Vancouver and other areas where transit has taken off.

“It suggests to me we’re seeing the emer-gence of two different kinds of regions—one car-dependent and the other with transporta-tion choice.”

Cycling trips up but mainly in VancouverThe number of bike-only trips rose 26 per cent from

2008 but that gain was concentrated in the City of Van-couver

More than half of the 106,500 cycling trips a day were made to or from work, according to TransLink’s trip diary results for 2011.

Region-wide, it found there were 4.9 bike trips per 100 residents.

That soared to 12.1 trips per 100 residents in Vancouver, with particularly heavy concentrations along the Broad-way corridor and Strathcona-Commercial Drive.

Richmond/Delta was the second highest sub-region at 3.4 trips per 100, followed by 2.8 on the North Shore, 2.6 in Burnaby/New Westminster, 1.7 in Langley/Surrey/White Rock and 1.7 in the Northeast sector.

The 1.8 per cent mode share of overall trips by bike would have to hit 10 per cent by 2040 to reach the goal set in the Regional Cycling Strategy.

The survey shows 22 per cent of commute trips by car drivers were less than five kilometres and many of those could be taken by bike instead.

TransLink has put plenty of money into cycling infra-structure, including the Central Valley Greenway, the BC Parkway and the Canada Line bike/pedestrian bridge.

Transit gaining little ground against car use

Hanson Lau starts Happy Life Network Association


He’s about to join their ranks, so community activ-ist and travel agency owner Hanson Lau thought what better group to fundraise for than seniors.

On Wednesday, Lau revealed he’s helped form a new non-pro� t organization called Happy Life Network Association, which couldn’t be more aptly named.

He wants to educate retired seniors—Lau plans to semi-retire next year—about how to stay physi-cally and mentally healthy by providing courses, seminars and workshops for them. Seeing the experience and knowledge that seniors have as an untapped resource, Lau wants to provide volunteer opportunities for retired seniors to enhance their self-value and expand their social network.

There’s no lack of support for the organization’s primary cause, judging from the number of tickets

sold to its � rst major fundraiser.The association’s inaugural gala dinner, scheduled

for Saturday, Nov. 10 at 6:30 p.m. at Continental Seafood Restaurant, had already sold 400 tickets even before Lau unveiled the charity this week.

“These retirees have lots of experience that the community can share and we want to facilitate that,” Lau said.

While Richmond has an amazing number of ser-vices and groups in place for seniors, Lau said many retired Chinese seniors don’t participate, either because of language concerns, or simply not know-ing how amazing these programs are.

Lau wants to lead these seniors to participate more fully in the city’s programming, while o� ering other social networking opportunities as well.

“We like eating,” Lau said of the Chinese com-munity. He sees the opportunity to have regular smaller-scale dinner parties and gatherings for seniors to facilitate social networking.

Lau would also like to work with the local Chinese mental health association, to deal with issues around seniors like depression.

“One of the ambitions I have is to try and develop a senior citizens village,” he said, adding that it would include homes for seniors, as well as younger families.

Movember fundraiser raises prostate awarenessLansdowne Centre’s GM and local realtor have personal connection to cancer cause


Their stories are similar, and their cause is the same.

For Lansdowne Centre general manager Jason Roberts and Richmond realtor Keith Liedtke, it was a familial link to prostate cancer that drew them in to being involved in Movember, the annual fund-raiser for prostate-related awareness and health-care initiatives.

“It’s ironic, because my father was actually diag-nosed earlier this year with prostate cancer,” said Roberts. “We’re very close and this is something that was brought to my attention by my marketing manager.”

And while his wife isn’t a great believer in facial hair, that’s something he’s willing to endure for such a worthy cause.

Roberts recalls participat-ing in Movember years back, through his rugby clubs, but now the cause is closer to his heart.

“This is something that actu-ally means something to me now.”

Fundraising is through Lansd-owne Centre’s website (lansdowne-centre.com), with proceeds from the Richmond Moustache Challenge directed to the Richmond Hospital Foundation and the hospital’s urology department.

Liedtke said his connection to the cause is actually a happy one.

It was a few years ago when his father was diag-nosed with prostate cancer.

“He was lucky. They got it in time.”Liedtke’s father, who turns 85 next week, is today

totally recovered, and is healthy and strong.Liedtke said he’s been involved with many chari-

table causes over the years, from the B.C. Children’s Hospital and local charities.

“But this is something that would be a fun thing to do and draws awareness.”

To donated to Liedtke’s effort, visit mobro.co/2937173

During the month of November, the Movember effort sees men sprout their facial hair to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer and male mental health initiatives. Originating in Melbourne, Australia in 2003, the effort has gone global, with the initiative raising $125.7 million in 2011.

Keith Liedtke is growing a mustache for Movember.

The City of Rich-mond has eight community gar-

dens with over 250 plots in which local residents grow fresh, organic foods for their family, friends and community.

The first rule for anyone visiting the garden should be obvious—eat with your eyes. Don’t steal from the garden!

Folks who have commu-nity garden plots put in an incredible amount of time, energy and love; these plants are pretty spoiled. Unfortunately, food theft in community gardens is a reality, it happens, and it’s really hard to control. As any food producer will tell you: “No garden or farm, no matter the size is immune to theft.”

Usually in the past, thieves only take small amounts of veggies. How-ever, this year’s “gleaning” has been especially bad for community garden-ers in the Garden City and elsewhere. Perhaps it’s the result of this economic downturn and a lack of

understanding around the purpose of community gardens (to provide fresh produce, satisfying labour, neighbourhood improve-ment, a sense of commu-nity and connection to the environment). We can only hope that the folks who are filling their bellies with other peoples produce are people who really need that food.

Needless to say, it’s pretty unbelievable when you arrive at your plot, ready to harvest your grapevines, only to find that they’ve been completely denuded, every ripe grape, stolen. Imagine that over the sea-son, you’ve been tending a squash plant. From putting the seed in the ground, watching in wonder as it pushes its first shoots up through the soil. Over the summer, it grows, bigger and bigger, and that first zucchini is just about ready, the anticipation of the

first fresh zucchini! Oh, the excitement! Should it be grilled? Stir-fried? Only to arrive at your garden plot and find it gone!

Food theft is, and will continue to be, a growing problem for cities across Canada, especially as mu-nicipalities begin to actively support food production in urban areas. So, what can be done to help address people taking food? The American Community Gar-deners Association offers the following tips: •Make friends with your

neighbours. By increas-ing the support by people that live next to gardens to watch and visit the garden is a great way to prevent vandalism and theft. •Get kids and youth

involved. This also creates a great opportunity for inter-generational experiences by getting kids and youth gardening with adults or to have their own plots.

•Create a “Friends of the Garden” membership. Provide membership to neighbours or others who don’t have plots and invite them to come and help out in exchange for food. •Develop appropriate

signs. Signs are extremely important in explaining who owns and uses the garden, and in a friendly manner explains the rules of the garden.•Build edible landscape

and U-Pick. Some gardens have had success with preventing theft by provid-ing spaces where people who want food can take it. As well, surplus produce can be put in a basket for passers-by to deter them from picking directly from plots. •Appropriate use of

fences. Fences can help deter would be pilferers, however, remember that fences can be scaled or broken and should really

be used to mark out the boundaries of the garden. •Lay out your garden

to prevent theft. Certain vegetables are particularly enticing and shouldn’t be planted near edges. Plant less appealing veggies as a protective ring around plants or hide them behind other plants.

At the end of the day, people who grow food will have to accept a certain level of stealing as there is no amount of action that will completely prevent theft. The only thing is to have strong repercussions for thieves and to encour-age immediate harvesting so that others don’t get there first. It helps too, to think that people who are taking food are in need so that it doesn’t get you down.

Food theft a growing problem

opinionHistory has shown that politi-

cal trends have a way of drifting northward into Canada from our American cousins. And if that turns out to be the case with the current political campaign, it promises to be far more frighten-ing than any of the goblins who turned up at your door on Hal-loween night.

U.S. President Barack Obama is fending off a challenge from Re-publican rival Mitt Romney in next Tuesday’s presidential election. The candidates offer a stark con-trast in their views for the future. Unfortunately, many voters would not know this unless they have

been following the campaign very closely.

President Obama is promoting a plan that would increase taxes on Americans earning more than $250,000 a year to bring more middle-class tax relief. Romney has pledged a massive tax cut for America’s wealthiest citizens, paid for by eliminating loopholes and deductions. Independent analy-sis has shown that ending those “loopholes” would cost the aver-age American more than $2,000. But when the issue arose in the presidential debate, Romney sim-ply denied any knowledge of the policy — despite video footage

and the candidate’s own website.The same goes for his pledge to

repeal health care, something he repeatedly said would be his top priority. During the debates? He vowed he would keep all the main components of Obamacare. Dur-ing the financial meltdown, Rom-ney famously urged the govern-ment to “Let Detroit go bankrupt.” But the Republican candidate now paints himself as the auto indus-try’s biggest defender. And with Republican Senate candidates — along with Romney’s vice-pres-idential running mate Paul Ryan — vowing to protect the rights of rapists and force victims to carry

that baby to term, Romney has shown himself devoid of any core beliefs even on issues as deeply ingrained as abortion.

But instead of pointing out the contradictory and hypocritical stance of a man who could be the leader of the free world, the media narrative has been that Romney has cleverly tacked to the centre to better appeal to moderates.

Hopefully, the truth will remain a fundamental issue with American voters. The future of Canadian politics could very well depend on it.

Editor:Is there anyone else in Rich-

mond who also believes that a city our size (pop. 190,000) needs and deserves a better art gallery than the one we have?

It is worthwhile to note that smaller cities such as Bellingham (population 67,000) and Bel-levue, Washington (population 110,000) for example, have found the funds and the will to build contemporary, purpose-built art museums that not only add im-mense vitality to their communi-ties but draw visitors from far and wide. I, for one, would dearly love to have the same kinds of art-related experiences I have in those fine galleries here within my own community.

Or is the “culture” of Richmond defined only in terms of com-merce, rapid real estate develop-ment, and the proliferation of restaurants?

If Richmond is such a diverse and prosperous community, why do we still have a woefully inadequate gallery that is stuck, as if it is nothing more than an afterthought, in a library rotunda? Is there any interest at all on the part of our city government or the population at large to build something that would clearly demonstrate that we in Richmond are not really as one-dimensional in our interests and priorities as we must appear to be to outsid-ers? Lots of malls, big houses, condo towers, mega projects, and

our own version of Kingsway! Art community—not so much!

Kudos to the staff at the Richmond Art gallery who ac-complish some wonderful things within an un-complementary and unsupportive environ-ment, but it is obviously time to give them and the citizens of Richmond a new, purpose-built facility that would not only make us all proud, but add some much needed depth and maturity to our culture.

As someone who has spent more than 50 years involved in art and art education, I would really hate to be proven wrong about that “deserve” part.

Local art gallery needs a boostEditor:

If you spend much time in the center of Richmond you will see rabbits.

It is not a choice; it is simply an inevitable fact.

And if you spend any time read-ing the news, you receive even more information that not only do these rabbits exist in great numbers, but they are abandoned rabbits that live difficult at best, and horrendous at worst lives that

are cut short far too soon. You see if we say nothing and

do nothing in the face of this inhumane suffering of our rabbits, then we, along with the rabbits, will ultimately pay the price.

For in the words of Albert Schweitzer, “Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man himself will not find peace.”

Cindy HowardRichmond

Editor:Destructive, devastating,

catastrophic - words can not de-scribe the impact of Hurricane Sandy on the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S.A. The single fac-tor that makes a nasty storm become a monstrous storm is the temperature of our oceans. The single factor that has raised the temperature of our oceans is the carbon products we have emitted into our atmosphere.

The atmospheric carbon num-bers have exceeded 400ppm for the first time in recorded history. We have wrapped our earth in a big downe jacket and the temperature is inevitably ris-ing. Sandy is surely the biggest wake-up call yet we have been given with regards to our indus-trial and residential emissions that have been gathering pace for 200 years.

We need to ask ourselves, our regional governments, our national governments and international agencies “what are we doing to lower our emis-sions?” Your emissions and our regional industries all contribute to our regional pollution levels and eventually to atmospheric carbon levels. Each and every one of us is responsible for our oceans warming and for the generation of these super storms. In Metro Vancouver, we had the worst air pollution ever

in July, August, and September. The regional AQ numbers were seldom below 3 and frequently 4 and 5. On at least one occasion the AQ reached 6. Do not for a moment think 6 out of 12 (the max) is not bad. The 6 should be measured against 3 and 7. 3 is when the twenty percent of people with lung/heart issues get sick and 7 is when all of us will get sick. The past summer’s hot temperatures trapped our emissions and caused these very bad AQ measurements. Our summer carbons have now been added to the atmosphere of our planet, as happens every year except this year we got caught regionally.

As winter approaches, our regional biomass systems and residential wood-burning are starting up. These totally un-necessary emissions will now be impacting our regional pollution

levels, as well as poisoning our neighbourhoods. We need to write and call our municipal and regional politicians and let them know clearly and unequivocably that we want to be part of the solution and not the problem. All our efforts and resources should be applied to get us off fossil fuels and, in the interim, move us to gas-fired energy (which is half the pollution lev-els of coal and bioenergy) and hybrid/electric vehicles, and in the longer term move us to solar and wind energy and electric vehicles. Of course, we will re-tain gasoline and diesel engines for those jobs that need mega horsepower but do you and I re-ally need a 6 cylinder diesel SUV to collect a litre of milk from the local store? We need to consign the Emites to the history bin where the Luddites were sent 150 years ago.

I urge all of you who have discretionary resources to email [email protected] and offer support to the tens of thousands in the Eastern Seaboard who are now with-out homes; worse will follow as many will soon be without incomes as businesses struggle to restart. Make no mistake, this is a catastrophic disaster and we all need to help.

We need to ask our-selves, our regional governments, our national govern-ments and interna-tional agencies “what are we doing to lower our emissions?”

Richmond Music Festival gets underway next week

A longtime local institution for music students is returning for another year, as the Richmond Music Festival begins Nov. 5.

The festival offers a competitive venue for young music students in piano, voice, strings, guitar and woodwinds. Professional adjudicators will give students feedback on their performances before the best return for a Gala Showcase Concert at the end of the festival, Nov. 24.

Evaluating the students this year are Joseph Ferretti (piano), Paolo Bortolussi (woodwinds), Robert Rozek (strings), Joe Berarducci (piano), Bruce Vogt (piano), Nikolai Maloff (piano), Diane King (voice) and Bruce Clausen (Guitar).

Broadmoor Baptist Church (8140 Saunders Rd.) and Rich-mond Chinese Baptist Church (10311 Albion Rd.) are this year’s festival venues.

A group of local music teach-ers founded the festival, which was first presented in 1999 as a weeklong event. It has grown dramatically since then, offering thousands of dollars each year in scholarships, bursaries and awards to participants.

For more information call 778-574-0131 or visit rmfs.org.

Richmond’s Robin Eder-Warren will sing Mozart on a Marpole stage


Richmond opera singer Robin Eder-

Warren will be on stage Nov. 16 and 17 to help revive one of opera’s for-gotten treasures.

Opera Mariposa, a new opera company for local and emerging perform-ers, will launch its � rst season by presenting Mozart’s rarely staged opera The Impresario at Marpole United Church.

The cast of young art-ists includes 21-year-old Eder-Warren and fellow soprano Jacqueline Ko.

The Impresario follows the trials and tribula-tions of an opera director struggling to stage a show. Performers will sing in German, but dia-logue will be in English and subtitles are o� ered.

Also performing: tenor

Sergio Augusto Flores, baritone William Liu and actor Kazz Leskard.

The performance will be preceded by a short concert of opera favourites from works like Don Giovanni and La Bohème.

Eder-Warren is also managing director of the � edgling Opera Mariposa company. She said premiering with a lesser-known opera was deliberate.

“Many companies choose to stage the most popular and familiar shows, but we really want to showcase the

diversity of the operatic genre,” she said in an e-mail. “Since our mission is to create unique perfor-mance opportunities for local singers, we decided to � nd an amazing but little-known work and give both performers and audiences a chance to appreciate it.”

Eder-Warren began developing her soprano voice a decade ago. After graduating high school, she studied opera at University of Manitoba and later honed her craft in Europe. Her company aims to create perfor-mance opportunities for

emerging artists in need of experience.

“In the Lower Mainland that’s not the easiest thing to do, so we’re very very glad that we’re able to create a couple more [opportunities] through Opera Mariposa,” she said in an earlier interview with The Richmond Review.

The Friday and Satur-day shows are at 7:30 p.m. at Marpole United Church, 1296 West 67 Ave. in Vancouver. Tick-ets, $18 to $24, available at operamariposa.com, 778-918-9498 or at the door.

Admission is free to the concert, which will also fea-ture a fair-trade kiosk from 10,000 Villages.

Choirs unite for Remembrance Day concert

The Richmond Youth Honour Choir is among the performers presenting a free Remembrance Day concert on Nov. 11.

Opera returns to Minoru Chapel Wednesday, Nov. 7 with two concerts presented by City Opera Vancouver.

The chamber opera company will perform its Viva Verdi! program—de-voted to the works of Giuseppe Verdi, including pieces from Rigoletto, La Traviata and Aida.

Narrator Tom Durrie will explore highlights of Verdi's artistic career with the help of baritone Willy Miles-Grenzberg, soprano Shadan Saul and tenor Kwangmin Brian Lee.

Shows are at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the chapel, 6540 Gilbert Rd. Tickets are $20 for adults and $18 for students and seniors.

Seating is limited; organizers recom-mend buying tickets in advance by calling 604-276-4300 (No. 258850 for 2 p.m. show; No. 258851 for 7 p.m. show). Tickets, if available, can also be bought at the door.

The concert is the second of four events in the Minoru Chapel Opera Fall season.

Opera Pro Cantanti will perform a seasonal concert Dec. 5 and Vancou-

ver Concert Opera Society will offer highlights from Die Fledermaus on Jan. 9, 2013.

Verdi’s life explored through opera

Soprano Shadan Saul is among the singers performing at Minoru Chapel.

Gateway Theatre will present the world premiere of Winners and Losers on the Studio B stage Nov. 22 to Dec. 1.

The play, created and performed by Marcus Youssef and James Long, was one of three plays featured in Gateway’s SceneFirst

2012 script develop-ment project. The play is a staged conversa-tion between the two actors, who play a game they’ve created called Winners and Losers.

In it they name people, places or things and debate whether each is a winner or loser. As

each seeks to defeat the other, the debate becomes personal. They dissect each other’s lives and the cost of what was a friendly competition quickly escalates.

Tickets, $30 to $38, at gatewaytheatre.com or at the Gateway box of-fice: 604-270-1812.

Many people don’t realize they work in the tourism industry, from taxi drivers to restaurant servers to mall merchants.

But anybody who comes into contact with the public is considered an important part of that massive local industry, which according to a 2011 Economic Impact Study for Tourism Richmond, generates $570 million annually in local economic output.

Each year, millions of people spend the night in local hotels, and generate $250 million in non-accomodation spending alone.

Having identified the growth of tourism in Richmond over the past few years, and seeing the potential for the future, Tourism Richmond has laid down a five-year growth strategy with one simple goal: getting visitors to spend just one more night in town by 2015.

To accomplish that goal, it is important that everybody pulls in the same direction, and en-sures that each visitor to Richmond is treasured and respected and feels welcomed, said Tour-ism Richmond CEO Tracy Lakeman.

But with the anticipated growth in the num-ber of visitors to Richmond and the rest of the province, comes the need for workers to fill the thousands of new jobs all over B.C. anticipated by 2020.

The tourism and hospitality industry is an ex-tremely diverse industry with over 400 different occupations—including occupations that lead to longer-term careers, as well as those that fit well for those seeking part-time work, like stu-dents or older workers who are not yet ready to retire.

British Columbia’s tourism industry will be a leader in provincial job growth as businesses look to fill 101,000 new job openings by 2020,

according to a study of labour demand and sup-ply by go2, the BC tourism industry’s human re-source association.

The Tourism Labour Market Strategy, released in the spring of 2012 by go2, sets out the plan to recruit, retain and train the workers needed to keep pace with the growth projected for the industry. Nearly half of the 101,000 openings will be new jobs created by the tourism industry across the province, adding 44,220 more jobs to the provincial workforce by 2020. The other approximately 57,000 openings are due to re-placements (i.e. retirements).

“The labour strategy co-ordinated by go2 is a key pillar of industry growth in the province. Without it, we simply wouldn’t have the skilled workers in place to deliver the visitor experi-ence throughout B.C.,” says Lana Denoni, chair the Tourism Industry Association of B.C.

B.C.’s location, bordered by the Rocky Moun-tains on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west, makes it unique within Canada. Its mountain and coastal scenery, opportunities for summer sailing, winter skiing, and other ac-tivities such as fishing or sightseeing in coastal or inland waters or experiencing our vibrant cities all make us a world-class destination.

Richmond is in a unique position to reap the rewards of extra visitors to all of B.C., because it is home to Vancouver International Airport, which makes Richmond not just a tourist des-tination, but a gateway to the rest of the prov-ince.

And with some of Richmond’s 26 hotels work-ing closely with sports fishing tour operators, for example, that bring in visitors for fishing expeditions to the Queen Charlotte Islands, lo-cals are benefitting, according to the Tourism

Richmond economic impact study.Tourism helps to not only diversify B.C.’s econ-

omy, but also brings new community services to permanent residents.

BC’s tourism and hospitality industry is now the single largest “primary resource industry” in the province, generating an annual real GDP (2002 dollars) of more than $6.4 billion in 2010, ahead of forestry, mining, oil and gas extrac-

tion, and agriculture. Tourism and hospitality generated $13.4

billion in annual revenue in 2010. Overall, be-tween 2004 and 2010, industry revenues grew by a total of 25.5 per cent, representing an aver-age annual growth rate of 4.2 per cent.

The provincial government’s Gaining the Edge: A Five-year Strategy for Tourism in British Columbia targets revenue growth of five per cent a year that will top $18 billion in tourism spending by 2016.

The fastest growing sectors for tourism job growth over the next decade are expected to be recreation and entertainment and travel services.

There are an estimated 17,943 tourism-relat-ed businesses across the province, employing about 260,000 workers, or 10.8 per cent of B.C.’s total labour force of 2.4 million people.

More than 80 per cent of tourism’s new job openings are projected to come in food and beverage services (43,410 openings), recre-ation and entertainment (20,530 openings) and the accommodation sector (18,920 open-ings).

“The tourism industry often provides people with their important first job and sets them on their career path,” said Arlene Keis, CEO of go2. “Tourism is also the largest employer of youth, with one in four British Columbians under the age of 24 working in the industry.

“This anticipated growth in tourism reinforces the need to plan carefully and ensure that there are enough workers with the right skills in the right communities to meet the tourism indus-try’s future labour needs.”

Personal Injury Law, ICBC Claims“Experienced representation for serious injuries”

604-273-8518 • Suite 300-5900 No. 3 Road, Richmondwww.hughesco.com • Free Initial Consultation

With June, the gradu-ation month justaround the corner,our thoughts turn tonew drivers, especial-ly new teenage driv-ers. Last week wedescribed BritishColumbia’s original

Graduated LicensingProgram [GLP]. Thegoal of the originalprogram, introducedin August 1998, was to tackle the awfulstatistics: 35% of all deaths in the 13 to21 year s age group caused by car acci-dents; and 20% of all new drivers involved in crashes within their first two years ofdriving.

Initially the results were positive. Duringthe first two years, the new driver crashrate went down 26%. But most of theimprovement was by Learners rather thanNovices who remained 45% more likelythan experienced drivers to be involved incrashes.

The carnage continued. On March 21st,2002, four Delta teens were killed whenthe teen driver failed to stop at a stop signat the intersection of 57B Street andDeltaport Way and was broadsided by asemi-trailer. The teen driver, licensed foronly two weeks, was the only survivor.On May 31st, 2003, a 19-year-old driverand his three friends, after watching ahockey game and drinking, attempted todrive home together. The driver wove inand out of traffic at high speed and col-lided with a truck on the other side of ablind hill on Cedar Hill Road in Victoria.In this case, the three friends and thetruck driver survived while the teen driv-er was killed. On July 18th, 2003, fourfriends were involved in a single-carhigh-speed crash on the Old IslandHighway. Their car crashed into a con-

crete utility pole justbefore 4 a.m. All fourwere thrown from thecar. Two of the fourdied from their injuries.

Prompted by thesetragic events andresults in other GLPjurisdictions, the BCgovernment madechanges to the programthat came into effect onOctober 7, 2003. These

changes are more than fine-tuning. Theyextend the basic two-year term of theGLP to three years: a 12-month Learnerterm (reducible by 3 months for certifieddriving training) plus a 24 consecutive,prohibition-free month Novice term. ALearner must be accompanied by asupervisor 25 years of age or older with avalid Class I-5 driver’s license and mayhave only one passenger in addition tothe supervisor. A Novice is limited toone passenger only, excluding immediatefamily members, unless he or she isaccompanied by a supervising driver 25years or older. Immediate family mem-bers are defined as father, mother, broth-er, sister, spouse, children, and grandpar-ent including the same step or foster rela-tions. Novices who receive a driving pro-hibition must go back to the beginning ofthe novice stage, that is, they lose allaccumulated driving experience time andmust start again at Month 1. For a com-plete outline of all the Learner andNovice rules, visit the ICBC websitewww.icbc.com.

The immediate reaction to these changeswas predictably mixed. With fingers-crossed, we look forward to positiveresults from these changes to the pro-gram.

Genichi Taguchi, the much honoured Japanese engineer and statistician, died on June 2nd, 2012, and his passing went largely unnoticed by the mainstream media in North America—unsurprising, but nevertheless ‘shoddy work.’ Ironic that, because ‘the Taguchi method’ applied to Japanese manufacturing is what elevated Japanese automotive and electronics products from ‘shoddy’ during the post war years to ‘top-rated’ dominance by the 1980s and 1990s. And thanks to the way Taguchi generously shared his learning and insights, we, too, have come to enjoy the enormous benefits from the vast improvements in automotive manufacturing quality control due to his influence worldwide.

It’s easy to understand why celebrating statistical genius isn’t a top media priority. Statistical concepts are challenging. Road Rules happened to see a mid-summer opinion piece by Troy Media columnist Robert Gerst addressing “Why products are better but service is worse.” Mr. Gerst explains why products are better thanks to Professor Taguchi’s insights as follows: “…because nothing can be made to perfection, engineers would also specify a level of looseness that could be tolerated by the design [of a driveshaft, for example], say 3.5 inches plus or minus 0.1 inch. A driveshaft of 3.4 to 3.6 inches, therefore, was considered…at least “good enough.” By the time all the “good enough” was tolerated in 30,000 parts, [however] you had a car that would shake, rattle and barely roll after 30,000 miles. …Taguchi…refused to accept “good enough.”

Specifications and tolerances were tossed and replaced with “loss functions.” These identified the loss to society for any variation from the ideal. Suddenly, engineers at Toyota [for example] had

a way of determining the economic and social loss of producing driveshafts at anything other than precisely 3.5 inches. Perfection became the goal with Professor Taguchi giving us a way of calculating the cost of falling short. Japanese automobiles, once considered junk, became the

icons of quality.The answer to Mr. Gerst’s second question,

why service is worse, is because ‘specifications and tolerances’ measuring continues to prevail in service industries. Mr. Gerst points out that while many service industries seem “obsessed” with performance standards or specifications, setting them this way is arbitrary, avoids accountability and ensures “at best, stagnation in quality.” To illustrate he poses the example of someone in a hospital emergency department having a heart attack. “Are you really thinking, “Gosh I hope they make it here in eight minutes, nine times out of 10” as the service standards imply? Or are you thinking, “I hope they get here right now!” as Professor Taguchi maintains?”

Road Rules thinks there’s also a lesson here for drivers in setting standards for their own driving performance. If you think of yourself as a “good enough” driver who more or less, most of the time pays attention and obeys the rules, what about the times when you fail to fully measure up? When the consequences of even the slightest deviation from the ‘best practice’ can be so dire—“I’ll just answer this one text message now,”—shouldn’t ‘best driving practices’ always be your standard?

Driving with Perfection in Mind

…by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.


Richmond’s Nattie Chan, 22, to perform at Orpheum with Vancouver Academy of Music


An oboe isn’t the first instrument most making moves in

music move toward. But the reed instrument’s rar-ity is part of its appeal for Nattie Chan.

The 22-year-old Richmond obo-ist is now preparing for her latest performance, with the Vancouver Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra.

Born in Hong Kong, Chan recently graduated from Ohio’s Oberlin Conservatory of Music with a bach-elor’s degree in oboe performance. She’s now eyeing either a master’s degree or making a push toward playing in a professional orchestra.

The Vancouver Academy of Mu-sic concert is entitled “Beethoven Celebration,” and takes place 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 18 at Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre. The concert is said to be the most elaborate by the academy, and will feature one of the most famous pieces of classical music: Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9.

The work is the last complete symphony written by Beethoven and stands out as one of the famous works in Western classical music. It is recognizable for its final movement, “Ode to Joy,” which marked the first time a major composer integrated soloists and chorus into a symphony.

Guest performers at the Nov. 18 concert include academy alumni, Vancouver Bach Choir and Vancou-ver Opera’s young artists.

Tickets, $6 to $10, at vancou-veracademyofmusic.com or at the door.

The oboe doesn’t have the popularity other instruments have, what draws you to it?

“Oboe is a very unique instru-ment. It can project very well, so composers write tunes that need to cut through thick textures for the oboe. At the same time, it is perfectly capable of spinning

out sweet, delicate melodies. Moreover, professional oboists make their own reeds by hand, so there is a personal element to the instrument.”

What’s your proudest mo-

ment in music so far?“Having the opportunity to

commission two new pieces for oboe and taikos, which is Japanese drumming. Oberlin highly values creativity and the professors there often encour-age us to think outside the box. As a Chinese-Canadian [having] lived in both Asia and North America, I am very interested in bridging the Western and Eastern cultures together. In my senior recital, I premiered two chamber pieces—one for oboe, piccolo and taiko ensemble, and a trio for oboe, piano and taikos. I was very lucky to have two very talented composer friends writ-

ing me beautiful music, and the audience absolutely loved it.”

Tell us about your Nov. 18 performance.

“The Ninth Symphony is the most significant work of Beethoven’s life, if not, in music history. The length of the symphony and the addition of text and a choir in a symphony is unprecedented… This piece is not programmed very often, but it is definitely a rare gem. The Fidelio overture is always delightful to play and listen to.”

What’s next for you?“I have always enjoyed the high

level playing of music here in Vancouver. After being away for four years, however, I feel like a new kid in a old block. I am trying to establish my freelance career here in Vancouver. Hopefully I will get my chance to collaborate with professional musicians one day.”

Oboist aims for high octaves

As the National Hockey League lockout drags on, the number of players signing with teams in Europe is growing.

Already, more than 150 NHLers are playing overseas.

But opposite that are the just as many North American play-ers who have opted to stick close to home—among them Anaheim Ducks Andrew Co-gliano and Rod Pelley, the lat-ter of whom is an unrestricted free agent after his contract with the Ducks expired at the end of last season.

While both players would love nothing more than to be in the midst of another NHL campaign, they’re hardly put-ting their feet up. In fact, they’re using this time to improve all aspects of their games.

Cogliano and Pelley are “stu-dents” at the Vancouver Hockey School, learning advanced les-sons in skating and puck con-trol from renowned skating in-structor Derek Popke and skills coach Yogi Svejkovsky.

Working out this past week at the Richmond Ice Centre, they focused on drills that can be immediately transferred to game situations and make them more effective players.

“You can have a skills or skating coach show you all these fancy moves that make you look good on the ice, but they’re not real useful in an NHL game,” says Pelley. “Derek and Yogi show you things you can master and that aren’t going to be high risk—like gaining more ice when you’re down low with the puck just by shifting your body and using a cutback to get some space or a shot off. It’s great to get out and work on things that you kind of over-look during most of the season, so we’re trying to utilize the time now to work on drills that will eventually help us when the lockout does end.”

Though he’s widely consid-ered one of the top two or three skaters in the NHL, even

Cogliano is seeing the benefits of the drills.

“Yogi focuses a lot on skills with your hands and protect-ing the puck, while Popke complements that with skat-ing drills like how to come out of turns,” says Cogliano.

“Am I working per se on skat-ing in straight line? No. But a lot of it has to do with edges and being able to be quicker than the defencemen below the red line or working down low, spinning off guys and getting to the net. I feel with my game a lot of it’s getting open and trying to take advantage of my speed and they’re helping me

with that.”A native of the Toronto sub-

urb of Vaughan, Cogliano, 25, is small by NHL standards at five-foot-10 and 188 pounds. But the former first round draft pick of the Edmonton Oilers (25th overall in 2005), who played two seasons at the Uni-versity of Michigan and in 2007 helped Canada win gold at the world junior championship in Sweden, has been remarkably durable. Since turning pro with the Oilers in 2007-08, he’s never missed an NHL game, includ-ing all 82 with the Ducks last season after being traded to Anaheim in the offseason for a

second round draft pick.After playing four seasons

with the Oilers, which preferred a wide-open style that suited Cogliano, it was a bit of adjust-ment joining the Ducks—espe-cially under former head coach Randy Carlyle.

“But now with Bruce (Bou-dreau, who replaced Carlyle midway through last season), it’s more up-tempo skating which I really like and that suits me,” Cogliano says.

“We had a great end of the season last year it’s too bad we couldn’t carry that momentum. But it’s why I’m doing stuff like this, so when we get to camp

I’m not stalled. I have to take this (situation) for what it is and use it as an opportunity to keep things fresh and come up with new workouts. I’m feeling re-vitalized working with (Popke and Svejkovsky).”

Cogliano, who says the five NHL seasons have gone quick-ly, feels while he still has plenty of room to grow, he’s matured as a pro and become a more versatile and smarter player who is ready to take the pro-verbial next step.

“Being and NHL player is a full-time job and you’re always thinking about how to get bet-ter,” he says. “This career can be

short for guys and I’m trying to keep it going as long as I can.”

At 28, Pelley is at a crossroads in his NHL career.

A native of Kitimat, the five-foot-11, 200-pound center was acquired last December by the Ducks along with a seventh-round pick in last summer’s NHL Entry Draft from the New Jersey Devils for Kurtis Foster, Mark Fraser and Timo Piel-meier. While not a big scorer (he’s amassed 29 points in 256 games), Pelley was a plus or even player in 30 of his last 35 games.

Popke, Svejkovsky share tips with pro players From Page 17A second team all-star

in his � nal college season at Ohio State University,

he signed with New Jer-sey as a free agent in July, 2006 and split his � rst pro season between the NHL

team and its American Hockey League a� liate in Lowell, Mass. He played most of the 2007-08 sea-

son (58 games) with New Jersey and has been a full-time NHLer since.

Pelley re� ects fondly on his career in hockey, which is rooted in small-town B.C.

“Growing up in north-western B.C., Kitimat was a great town for a young player,” he says. “We had two rinks, which is pretty amazing for a community of 9,000 people, so that meant lots of ice. From there I played on good junior teams in Prince George and Vernon and then managed to get a scholarship to Ohio State where I played out my fours years and matured as a player and person.”

“I give a lot of credit to (New Jersey general man-ager) Lou Lamoriello for giving me an opportunity (to play pro) and believing in me,” Pelley continues. “They were very honest and forward with me from day one and let me know what my capabilities were and where I � t in, and took me into the family. (As an organization) they demand a lot, no doubt, but that’s what winning is all about. You see the suc-cess they’ve had over the last 20 years (including � ve conference champi-onships and three Stanley Cups). It was a great expe-rience.”

He says the trade to the Ducks mid-season was an adjustment, especially moving coast to coast, but made easier by the sup-port of the NHL players’ association and the Ducks which enabled him to fo-cus mostly on the game.

“And I was there 12 days after Boudreau was hired, so he was kind of in transi-tion too,” says Pelley. “But he’s bounced around a lot during his career and knows how a player feels. He kept asking me how things were going. And the Ducks couldn’t be a greater group of guys.”

But as an unsigned free agent, Pelley now � nds himself playing a waiting game—not only await-ing the start of a new NHL season but signing a new contract.

“But I’m willing to do that and be ready from the day the games start,” he says. “You need complete be-lief in yourself. Sometimes that’s easier than others and it’s a business we’re in and being mentally strong is a big part of it. If you can get through that, there are jobs available when the lockout does end.”

By his own de� nition, Pelley is an honest, hard-working checking line forward—a foot solider if you will. He does a lot of the grunt work and makes the sacri� ces like blocking shots. He may play fewer minutes that players on the top two or three lines, but they are important minutes. Without players like him, you don’t win Stanley Cups.

“It’s always fun and re-warding to work with good players and good people,” says Vancouver Hockey School instructor Svejkovsky, noting Cogli-ano and Pelley emanate both qualities.

“But whether it’s mi-

nor hockey players (Sve-jkovsky is director of hockey operations at the Seafair Minor Hockey As-sociation), the (Vancouver) Giants (he is a skills coach with the local major junior team), or NHL players, while there are di� erenc-es in a variety of things in terms of drills they’re very similar,” he says. “Any player has a window to get bet-ter each day. Games can be mentally draining, but coming on the ice (like Co-gliano and Pelley) to work on things that can get you better is most important. Obviously it takes more details to work with better players, but it’s still about teaching and understand-ing how � x this skating motion or that shot or move that can make a player better—and being able explain why it’s im-portant.”

As a former NHLer him-self (a � rst round draft pick of the Washington Capitals in 1996), Svejkovsky is also able to relate well to the pros and what they need to be e� ective.

“I’m lucky enough to see a lot of players that helps me set the curriculum,” he says. “And the game is changing constantly, so with the Giants I’m able to see what’s changing and help the players develop. Right now the biggest change is that every player has to be able to (contrib-ute in all areas). Defence-men need to be part of the o� ence and forwards part of the defence.

“And with the speed of the game, it’s important to anticipate and read plays. You have to be a student of the game, no question, while constantly working to get better at the things which make you who you are.,” he adds.

Popke, who founded the Vancouver Hockey School, is a widely-respected skat-

ing consultant and has worked on-ice with nu-merous junior and pro players as well as the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs. But even was surprised by the quickness of Cogliano.

“The power and speed he can generate is amaz-ing , but we changed a couple things that can make him ever quicker. He was surprised, and said he’d never been shown some of this stu� before.,” says Popke.

Cogliano and Pelley con-tacted Popke looking for some training opportuni-ties that would be more than just simple skating and skating with the puck.

“(Typically) when coach-es tell players to turn around cones and stu� like that, no one shows them details incorporated with the turns,” Popke says.

“Cogliano and Pelley were saying they can usu-ally go to a skating coach or a skills coach, but they don’t know the other as-pect. Here, they’re getting (to learn) with two guys with two di� erent niches. While Yogi shows them the puck skills, I’m break-ing down the skating. Cogliano was even saying with the turns, he didn’t know how many players in the NHL knew them. Coaches don’t have time to work on these during the season.”

Further re� ecting how much the game is chang-ing and evolving, Cogliano and Pelley also noted that power skating when they were in minor hockey was just skating up and down the ice. Lttle or none of the detailed instruction kids get now was available .

“Working with these NHL players is a challenge for us too ,” says Popke.

They constantly want to get better and as an instructor you want to push yourself too.”

When you’re considering downsizing, the thought of living in a small apartment may turn you off of the idea. But recently developments like Waterstone in Langley have offered larger condominium homes for sale, and baby boomers are flocking to them.

“They want the floorplan to feel like a single-family house,” says Scott Brown, senior vice-president for residential and commercial marketing services at Colliers International. “Baby boomers have difficulty seeing anything under 1,000 square feet as large enough.”

But it’s more than larger floorplans that attract downsizers.

“They want the things that you would

typically see in a house,” Brown says. Among those things are amenities such as a fitness centre and pool.

Location is also a big draw.“They always say ‘go west young

man’ but in this case it’s ‘go east baby boomer!’” Brown laughs, saying that many downsizers leave their home in a pricier area and move east into a more inexpensive neighbourhood.

“They don’t want to lose their social circle,” Brown says, “but they are looking for something a little more affordable. ... They will often move closer to their kids, who can’t usually afford a single-family home when they’re starting out.”

By Kerry Vital

Morningstar Homes is introducing a new type of single-family home to Coquitlam with its newest project, Somerton. Bringing an added coach home to their always-gorgeous floorplans, Morningstar is offering a degree of livability and affordability that is unique to the area.

“Coquitlam has never done this before,” says Deborah Calahan, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Morningstar. “This is really the right product at the right time.”

With 34 homes in the development, 21 of which will have coach homes (the others will have the option for a legal suite in the finished basement), Morningstar is building on its legacy for amazing homes.

“We have the right recipe for what we do,” says Calahan. “We start from a point of what we do best, which is meeting the needs of our customers.”

The homes range in size from 3,017 to over 3,100 square feet. However, Somerton’s new plans include a few extra touches that set them apart. For example, the Ellsworth plan now includes vaulted ceilings on the second floor and a semi-wall with a linear fireplace that is open on either side, so you can enjoy it from your formal dining room or your living room area.

Morningstar is showcasing many of its usual amazing features here, including a seamless glass shower in the ensuite bathroom and a huge tub for relaxing after a long day. The kitchen breakfast bar is perfect for entertaining, and an extra nook that can be used as office or study space or room for children to play while you cook is a masterstroke of convenience.

But it’s the coach homes that are the fantastic part of Somerton. They are located behind the homes themselves, above a double-car garage. With 512 square feet of living space, they feature a bedroom, bathroom, and open-plan layout in the living areas with a vaulted ceiling. The huge picture window in the living area lets the light pour in and makes the home feel spacious. The kitchen has rough-ins for future appliances while the bathroom is roughed-in for a stackable washer/dryer, making the coach home a complete living space!

“This space offers unlimited possibilies,” says Calahan. “It can be everything from a nanny suite to an artist studio to a man cave. Kids that

won’t leave home or older parents that need to be close – it offers the purchaser options never before available in Coquitlam. It can also be a straight mortgage helper. There is so much potential here.”

In fact, Calahan sees buyers being able to get at least $800 a month for renting out the coach home. That can go a long way towards helping with a mortgage payment.

“It’s really special,” says Calahan. “Giving buyers a rental opportunity that is private and separate from their home is very attractive and leaves the basement as even more space for the purchaser to enjoy.”

Situated in the rapidly growing community of Burke Mountain, homeowners (and coach home tenants!) will have beautiful views over Coquitlam and the surrounding area. Shops, restaurants and plenty of outdoor activities are located nearby, while an elementary school is literally moments away.

“This is such a family-friendly neighbourhood,” says Calahan. “The infrastructure is in place. These

homes are truly nestled in a mature neighbourhood.”

Morningstar has opened pre-registration for Somerton, and Calahan says that they’ve already had over 200 people inquire about the development.

Monica GrafApril 16, 1961 -

October 14, 2012 After a long, courageous battle with breast cancer Monica finally found peace. Surrounded by her closest family and friends she passed away at her home in Markdale, Ontario. Born in Castlegar, B.C. Monica grew up in

Richmond. After graduating from Steveston Senior High school she attended Simon Fraser University. In 1984 she moved to Ontario, and with a partner took up organic farming. Years later she opened up her own health food store in Durham, Ontario and became the heart and hub of a large, like-minded community. She is deeply mourned by her son Keiran Pattullo Graf, her mother Ursula Graf, her sister Yvonne Graf-Westerkamp, her brother Roland Graf, a large extended family in Canada and Germany and a huge circle of friends.

Hanna McGeeHanna McGee passed into the glory of Our Lord Jesus Christ on Oct. 30th 2012. Survived by beloved family David, Shawna, Sara, Erin and Liam. Predeceased by husband Martin. Hanna’s insurmountable Catholic faith saw her through being separated from her father when her native Poland was invaded and occupied by both Germany and the Soviet Union

at the start of WWII. She became a combatant in Armia Krajowa, the WWII Polish Resistance Army. Hanna experienced untold horrors and was wounded in the desperate fighting of the Warsaw Uprising. After WWII Hanna and her mother secretly escaped from Soviet-occupied Poland. They experienced indescribable joy when reunited with her father in England. Shortly after all three started a new life in Canada. Hanna served her community as Chief Medical Laboratory Technologist of Richmond General Hospital for many years. In 1999 Hanna received three military decorations for her efforts in combat from the Polish Government. Prayer service will be Mon. Nov. 5th at 7:30 pm, Mass of Christian Burial will be Tues. Nov. 6th at 11:00 am, both at St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church, 4451 Williams Rd. Richmond.

Martin van den Hemel photoStudents and parents from James Whiteside Elementary held a hot dog sale at the Save-on-Foods at Ironwood Shopping Centre on Sunday, and raised more than $350 for an upcoming French immersion field trip to Quebec, and $100 for the school’s PAC committee. Save-on-Foods supplied the barbecue and tables, and a heavy discount on the food and condiments, while the community showed its support, with many Whiteside graduates making donations to the students’ efforts.

A supplementary school in Richmond transformed its classrooms into a huge au-ditorium recently to accommodate a large crowd of people celebrating the out-standing achievements of more than four hundred students in their exemplary study of Math and Reading. Richmond City Councillor Bill McNulty mingled with the crowd at Kumon Happy Learning Centre to greet parents and students alike and extended his sincere congratulations. He is shown here with Heidi Narita, young lady who has consistently earned the distinction of being a North American Advanced Honor Student since she was a little girl in primary school.

The Rotary Club of Steveston happily presented Steveston Businessman Ken Mat-suzaki of EA Towns Fishing Supplies with Rotary’s highest honour, The Paul Harris Fellow. This is in light of his support for Rotary projects be they in Richmond, Ste-veston or abroad. Making the presentation were past-president Wilbur Walrond (left) and Matsuzaki’s childhood friend and fellow Rotary supporter John Mont-gomery, who is also a Paul Harris Fellow.


Raising the Bar for Investment Advice

TD Waterhouse Private Investment Advice is a division of TD Waterhouse Canada Inc., a subsidiary of The Toronto-Dominion Bank. ®/The TD logo and other trade-marks are the property of The Toronto-Dominion Bank or a wholly-owned subsidiary, in Canada and/or in other countries. TD Waterhouse Canada Inc – Member of the Canadian Investor Protection Fund. Rickerby Wealth Group consists of Shaun Rickerby, Branch Manager and Portfolio Manager, Sean Millington, Investment Advisor, Joanne Palma, Sales Assistant and Perry Chan, Sales Assistant. Rickerby Wealth Group is a part of TD Waterhouse Private Investment Advice.

Rickerby Wealth Group (RWG) is firmly focused on becoming one of the elite investment advice groups in the Lower Mainland.

RWG, working under the TD Waterhouse Private Investment Advice umbrella, was launched by industry veteran Shaun Rickerby in 2006 – and now boasts a four-strong team, including former CFL and BC Lions football star, Sean Millington.

The group provides full, comprehensive wealth management – including advice around estate planning, insurance services, and private banking – and typically seeks mature investors with a minimum $300k investment.

“RWG is built on a foundation of transparency and accountability,” says Rickerby. “We work exclusively on a fee-based basis and also provide sophisticated, comprehensive reporting packages to clients – in terms of their portfolio performance – set against a benchmark. Offering such personalizing, discretionary portfolio management is quite unique.”

Rickerby turned 40 in 2004 and was inspired to shake things up; create something “unique, different and forward-thinking.” He became a Portfolio Manager and restructured and refined his practice – leading to the birth of RWG – then hired football star-turned TV analyst and investment advisor Millington to help beef up the brand.

Millington, a two-time Grey Cup winner and 2010 inductee into the BC Sports Hall of Fame, handles the marketing side of RWG and has helped raise the group’s profile – both through his star power and leveraging this into new ventures, such as his daily early morning segment as a business analyst on Global TV.

“Every morning at 6:40 a.m. I give a little market analysis; whatever’s topical in the news that day.” says Millington, who worked as a tunnel analyst for CFL on CBC after hanging up his boots. “We’re also trying to develop the RWG website and get instructional videos posted to supplement our regular audio newsletters.”

Boosted by Millington’s exposure on Global TV – and the group’s rising profile – RWG is actively seeking new clients.

“We do a financial plan, investment policy statement and annual reviews for every client – including detailed performance reporting. We call the package the ”Experience of Shaun”. I wanted to hire another ‘Shaun’ but ended up with a ‘Sean’! Oh well, it still works.”

“Our ambition is for RWG to become a brand that’s a household name – one that’s known for being credible, highly respected and professional both within the industry and in the eyes of the public.”
