Supermodel returns to McRobertsCoco Rocha adds recently completed book Study of Pose to school’s library

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

International supermodel Coco Rocha returned to her alma mater Friday, spending some time to chat and take selfies with excited students from Hugh McRoberts Secondary, and even Skyped

with the school’s girls volleyball team which was out of town.

“She’s so tall,” one fan exclaimed before Rocha was ushered into the school’s library in the nick of time, seconds before the bell rang and the hall-ways swelled with students.

And then she added her own book, Study of Pose, to the school’s library.

Friday was Rocha’s first visit to Richmond in two years, according to her husband, James Conran.

Rocha’s mother now lives in Toronto, and she no longer has family here, though she has plenty of friends and former classmates from her 2006 graduation year.

Her book, in which she’s photographed over a three-day period in 1,000 different poses, took two years to make, and she authored the intro-duction.

“It’s a little tongue-in-cheek reference guide for models, photographers, illustrators and artists,” Conran said.

The 2,032-page book retails for $60 at Barnes & Noble and Holt Renfrew, though Amazon is offer-ing it for $40. A digital version is also available, which shows a three-dimensional rendering of each pose.

Rocha grew up in Richmond, and left the city at the age of 15 to pursue her modelling career.

Homeowner assaulted during violent home invasion


A violent Saturday morning home invasion near Cambie Secondary School sent one man to hospital after he con-fronted four intruders.

According to Richmond RCMP, they were called around 3 a.m. by a home-owner who whispered into her phone during a 911 call that four men were in her house on Jack Bell Drive, west of Jacombs Road and south of Cambie.

Her husband then con-fronted the men and he suf-fered non-life threatening injuries and was taken to hospital.

The couple’s pre-school aged son was in the house at the time of the incident, but reportedly remained asleep despite the commotion.

The victims were unable to furnish investigators with a description of the suspects or the vehicle they fled in.

“Police are asking anyone who may have been in the area at the time of the inci-dent and witnessed some-thing unusual in the Cambie and 5 road area, to email Richmond RCMP at [email protected] or to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477),” Richmond RCMP Cpl. Stephanie Ashton said.

Chak AuRichmond Community

Coalition, incumbentTop 3 issues: Stop tax

hike. Promote intercultural harmony. Environmental sustainability

Platform: As a strong ad-vocate for mental health ser-vices, multicultural harmony, and environmental sustain-ability, I have co-founded several non-profit organiza-tions, including the Commu-nity Mental Wellness Asso-ciation of Canada, Inter-faith for World Peace Society, and the Richmond GreenSpace Society. I believe in open and transparent government. I am committed to bring peo-ple’s voices to council and have been recognized that I always speak in the best interests of the community. I believe we should have a vi-brant, business-oriented city centre, and strong neighbor-hoods built around parks and community facilities. I will continue to advocate for affordable housing and programs for young families.

Dan BaxterRichmond Community

CoalitionTop 3 issues: Stop tax

hikes. Review city spend-ing. Double community grants.

Platform: As a policy professional with the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, a non-profit business as-sociation, I bring a valu-able business perspective to the Council table. As a young father, raising my two young boys with my wife, I want to see Richmond do better, not just for my family but all families, by providing a fresh voice. My priority is being a good steward of your tax dollars. Council must ensure every cent is getting value for money, otherwise we should give it back to you by stopping the tax hike. Together, we can do better for Rich-mond families.

Sal BhullarRichmond Community



Platform: Richmond residents deserve better and the time for change is now. I’ve been a long-time Richmond resident and have worked with Air Canada for 27 years as a union member. I am very aware of community and quality of life issues, about rising municipal taxes, and need for more options for affordable housing. As a certified yoga teacher, from an active farm-ing family, I know how to preserve our ALR Land and teach the next generation how vital it is. I support critical funding for social programs, sports, arts, and new senior’s centres. I’m committed to keeping Richmond family oriented.

Ken JohnstonRichmond Community

Coalition, incumbentTop 3 issues: Stop tax

hikes. Review city spend-ing. Transportation.

Platform: I am a Pro-fessional Accountant “CPA,CGA” and president of Richmond based envi-ronmental leader Novex, a past recipient of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce Business Lead-ership Award. I bring bal-anced and experienced leadership to municipal government. I will con-tinue fighting to control spending while keeping our public safety, com-munity and social services top priorities. Over my 14 years of service as a coun-cillor, I have always put the best interests of Richmond foremost in my decision making. I believe we live in the best community in Canada and I am asking for your support in mak-ing ourcommunity even better.

Carol DayRite RichmondTop 3 issues: Densifica-

tion of Richmond. Public concerns ignored. Jet fuel project.

Platform: Represent the people of Richmond by engaging in meaningful debate and discussion. Host open meetings every four months with a report card to demonstrate progress on issues. Insist that future de-velopments enhance neigh-bourhoods or make changes till they do. Continue legal action to stop jet fuel in the Fraser river. Attract and keep the businesses in Richmond to lower taxes and increase services. Attract more health based services such as doc-tors which are in short sup-ply. Develop green zones that connect farmers with land owners and increase farming in Richmond. Create affordable housing through development incentives for first time buyers.

Jerome DickeyIndependentTop 3 issues: Ensuring

smart growth. 2. Reducing tax increases. Improving public engagement.

Platform: JeromeDICKEY.com outlines my compre-hensive platform which represents leadership with A Clear Path Forward. 1. Utilizing Smart Growth principles to building a strong local economy while ensuring development of sustainable communities. 2. A 15% tax increase in the next few years is not acceptable. Implement zero based budgeting and question large expendi-tures. Increase DCC’s to pay for cost of new residential growth which reduces tax burden on existing resi-dents. 3. More structured engagement needs to be implemented on key pub-lic projects earlier with clear communication back to participants. Broader inclusion of volunteers, se-niors, youth and business community.

Kirby GraemeRichmond Community



Platform: I am a Com-munity Relations Officer Fire Captain with Richmond Fire-Rescue. I have lived and worked in Richmond since 1982.

I have been involved in several community groups for several years. Those groups include Sunset Ro-tary of Richmond, Habitat for Humanity, Richmond Firefighters Charitable Soci-ety, Richmond Girls Soccer and Richmond Soccer. As a coach, mentor, player and referee I have been commit-ted to youth in our city.

I am highly committed to achieving strong future performance from our Co-alition. I aim to continue my efforts in community build-ing as we strive to make our city the most liveable city in Canada.

Adil AwanRenew RichmondTop 3 issues: Diverse,

affordable housing. Tran-sit-centric developments. Open 2-way communica-tion.

Platform: Promote open, two-way commu-nication to encourage dialogue and the sharing of information and best practices. Improve public consultation process by increasing the frequency, duration and methods of gathering citizen input. Better planning with bal-anced development and variety of housing op-tions with access to public transit and city amenities. Create safer communities starts with building stron-ger communities.

Janos BergmanIndependentTop 3 issues: Unilingual

Chinese signs. Affordable housing. Expanded public transportation.

Platform: No campaign donations accepted to avoid the inevitable temptation for some to unduly influence candidate/future elected official. Platform with own convictions/conscience. Uni-lingual Chinese signs: The only candidate whose offi-cial bio submitted to the city by Oct. 10 deadline included the signage problem. Eng-lish first on all signs/an end to unilingual non-English signs promoting inclusion/foster community spirit. Affordable Housing: As in Australia/China/Hong Kong/Switzerland and elsewhere, laws/bylaws by 3-level gov-ernments to render it dif-ficult for non-residents/off-shore investors/speculators to own residential property they don’t live in making it quasi impossible for average Canadians to own. Expand-ed public transportation: Greater investment for im-proved services/accessibility.

Derek DangRichmond First, incum-

bentTop 3 issues: Bio: Derek has lived

all his life in the City of Richmond. His grandfa-ther first moved to Lulu Island back in the 1930’s where he started as a farmer, potato salesman, and labour contractor. Derek has grown up with deep roots in this com-munity. His parents and grandparents instilled in him a deep apprecia-tion for this community that provided so much to his family in terms of opportunity, liveablility and most importantly, friends and neighbors and sense of being part of a community. Derek is the Chair of the Commu-nity Safety Committee and Chair of the Minoru Facilities Building Advi-sory Committee.

Andy HobbsRichmond FirstTop 3 issues: Enhanc-

ing public safety. Pro-tecting Richmond’s farmland. Housing af-fordability/neghbour-hoods.

Platform: I graduated from Richmond High and UBC. We have three adult children. I retired in May as a Superinten-dent after 35 years with the Vancouver Police Department. I received the Queen’s Diamond Ju-bilee Medal and was in-ducted into the Order of Merit of the Police Forces by the Governor General of Canada. I’ve coached multiple teams, was Richmond Kigoos’ presi-dent, an active cancer fundraiser, and current Richmond Community Foundation member. I served two-terms on the Richmond School Board, 2002 to 2008, and want to use my experience and background on city council to build a safe, healthy and livable com-munity.

Lee GildemeesterIndependentTop 3 issues: Solar frea-

kin’ roadways. Future-proofed industries. 3D-printed buildings.

Platform: Does your street melt the snow? Does it give you live in-formation on construc-tion, traffic jams, or amber alerts? Does your park-ing lot feed electricity into your building? Solar heated sidewalks, roads, parking lots: lower taxes. YVR Tarmac: solar collec-tor. The video game and e-sports industry did great all recession. 3D print-ers can now be scaled up large enough to construct buildings. Perhaps afford-able housing that’s earth-quake resistant? Direct Democracy and ONLINE public engagement. I can make Richmond a green city; and make us some good coin while doing it. I neither accept nor spend money on my campaign.

Sonny HoRichmond ReformTop 3 issues: Property

tax 10% lower in four years. Better business environment. Creating more jobs.

Platform: Stand up for change. Richmond cannot be changed bet-ter without your support. Over 25 years engaged in restaurant business, it is the right time dedicat-ing myself to Richmond where my family and business are growing on. I believe in encour-aging Richmond people to engage in the com-munity safety; affordable housing in ALR, connect-ing the core of city with Light Railway System; and based on the protec-tion of environment, the City’s valuable resources are developed carefully.

Richmond election candidates survey election!’14The Richmond Review presents a survey of candidates who are running for council in Nov. 15’s civic election. The mayoral candidates are on page 5. School trustee candi-

dates will appear in Friday’s paper. Richmond voters will elect 1 mayor, 8 councillors and 7 school trustees.

Jennifer HuangIndependentTop 3 issues: Safety. Af-

fordable living. Prosperity.Platform: I have lived

in Richmond for 19 years and work for major air-lines and broadcasting company for 30 odd years. With two adults attending university, I have passion to help small business do better by lobbying 2-hour free parking in Richmond. Richmondites need se-curity, affordable living, and prosperity that starts with free traffic flows. Pres-ently, developers drive the incumbent city council for rezoning because of their considerable election contributions. We need to control city’s contract prices by advertising ten-der calls in Richmond’s newspapers. I oppose pre-determined conclusions for public consultations. PLEASE VOTE! Yes, you can change for better.

Malcolm BrodieIndependent, incumbentTop 3 issues: Community safety. Better

transportation. Taxes and affordability.Platform: I have used my experience to

serve as Richmond mayor for the past 13 years. Though Richmond has grown tre-mendously, there is much left to do. I will enthusiastically focus on our future. I want to expand our parks and facilities. I will sup-port the environment and help to create jobs. We must have affordable living for all, including youth and seniors, in a safe com-munity with the best transportation. People of all ages from around the world are wel-come to live and work here. I am enthusias-tic to meet all challenges as I work with our residents and businesses.

Richard LeeRichmond ReformTop 3 issues: Lower property tax. Safer

community/environment. Better transit/transportation.

Platform: “(A)fter 13 years, you cannot expect me to come up with some bold new direction”, Mr. Brodie said on Sept. 10. After 13 years, he is tired, he is out of bold new directions, he is complacent. Richard is not one bit tired, is not complacent, has new ideas and new directions to work for a better Richmond. The people want a mayor who will stick up for the rights of ordinary citizens, not be slave to developers. Money can’t buy elections. Ideas, enthusiasm, hard work, straight talk and trustworthiness win elections. I’m here to win, eh.

Clifford Lifeng WeiTop 3 issues: Eliminate break-ins. Solve

traffic congestion. Freeze property tax.Platform: Emphasize the government is

representing public interest. Any public devel-opment project should benefit and improve quality of life for all residents. Any commercial development project in Richmond shouldn’t occupy excess public resource and transfer their cost to all residents. Review the admin-istration and assess their performance for the past 13 years. Review the 5 years financial plan and redo the plan with new principal on a 0% property tax increase. Develop the strategy to attract high profile companies to Richmond and provide high salary jobs to local people. Identify alternative revenue opportunities to decrease the burden on taxpayers.

Keane Shuster wanted for breaching probation conditions

Richmond Mounties are asking for the public’s help in locating a man convicted of dangerous driv-ing and who was found to be in breach of his probation order after serving a two-and-a-half month jail sentence.

Keane Michael Shuster, 30, was found guilty of dangerous driv-ing in October of 2012 when he was seen driving while prohib-ited. He fled from police, drove into oncoming traffic, ran a red

light and police ultimately opt-ed to not pursue him.

He was later recognized by po-lice and found guilty of danger-ous driving and prohibited driv-ing, and was sentenced to jail, received a 12-month probation order and was prohibited from driving for 18 months.

Shuster is wanted for violat-ing his probation order and for other matters, Richmond RCMP Cpl. Stephanie Ashton said.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Convicted dangerous driver sought by Mounties

Keane Michael Shuster, 30, was found guilty of dangerous driv-ing in October of 2012.


October was a good month for single detached house sales in Richmond compared to a month earlier and a year earlier, according to the latest numbers from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver.

While home sales regionally outpaced the long-term averages for this time of year—16.6 per cent above the 10-year sales average for October±—Richmond was no exception.

“We’ve seen strong and consistent demand from home buyers in Metro Vancouver throughout this year,” said Ray Harris, president of the board. “This has led to steady increases in home prices of between four and

eight per cent depending on the property.”165 houses changed hands last month for a median

price of $1.115 million, up from the 152 that sold in Sep-tember at a median price of $1.07 million. A year ago, 120 houses sold for a median of $1.058 million.

Condo sales were also strong in October, reaching 139 sales for a median price of $340,000, outpacing the 119 sales in September, and 132 in October of 2013. But the median selling price of a condo dropped from $365,900 in September and $348,400 in October of last year.

Year-over-year townhouse sales rose 37.5 per cent to 99 in October at a median price of $533,000, up from the 72 in October of 2013 at a median price of $524,000. But October’s townhouse sales were down 13 per cent from September, when 114 were sold.

House sales rise 37.5% compared to last year

opinion

For the next four years, we could have a proactive

new Richmond coun-cil that gets results.

Strong candidates in the current election would thrive on pivotal issues like these.

1. Faulty consultation. When West Cambie Natu-ral Park was eyed for de-velopment, the city gave neighbours a choice: (a) Townhouses or (b) Town-houses + apartments. When a survey responder said to keep the park,

staff said “Unacceptable,” and council agreed and abandoned the land to developers. There’s room to improve.

2. Salty irrigation water. Removing the Massey Tunnel in favour of the Port Metro Bridge would trigger deeper dredging of the Fraser for larger ships. The natural “salt wedge” of seawater would then press further up the channel.

Nowadays, South Arm pumping stations from 6 Road east can often let in water fit for crops. In future, saltier water at in-take would hinder that—and Richmond farming.

3. Flood risk. The ocean is rising. As well, dredg-ing a deeper channel will start a chain of effects, and storm waves will hit our shores with growing power.

Or council can take ac-tion with senior govern-ments to step up the diking. And perhaps the tunnel and channel depth can be retained, with or without the Port Metro Bridge.

4. Tunnel risk. As a reinforced concrete

structure, the tunnel gets stronger with time, but earthquake effects could sweep away what’s under it, causing death and injury. That could be pre-vented by implementing modern ways to stabilize the area.

The current project knows this but mostly wants to remove, not im-prove. Still, with a timely sliver of Port Metro Bridge funding, tunnel users could get safety, a bargain no matter how long the tunnel stays.

5. Respecting the ALR. The Garden City Lands need a 3-in-1 ALR road-way near the perimeter. It will serve as a heavy-duty farm road, a clay dike for water control, and a wide all-weather trail for cycling, walking and smooth rolling—wheel-chairs, strollers, etc.

Yet a council incumbent lately gushed about a boardwalk instead. That wouldn’t suit the 3-in-1 needs, although board-walks would suit some other needs on the lands. Besides, our central park can be the best place anywhere to celebrate

B.C.’s ALR legacy, and the ALR roadway would be integral.

6. Lost viewscapes. The panoramic natural viewscapes north and east from the Garden City Lands area were a City Centre legacy. After council stripped away protection, an expanse of mixed urban forest north of Alderbridge Way was clearcut.

In partial late atone-ment, council arranged

for a new treed buffer along Alderbridge, now quasi-planned. Vigilant action by caring council-lors can limit the loss there and along the whole block from Garden City Road to 4 Road.

7. Feeding the BiRDs, the “big rezoner-devel-opers,” as Michael Wolfe terms them. Six-storey buildings rising north of Alderbridge mar the viewscapes. To please developers, there was re-zoning from four storeys, and the increased height makes it hard for trees to ever screen the buildings while not screening the mountains.

Between the rezoning and the clearcutting, Richmond has borne a priceless loss of legacy so that developers could be given millions of bucks in land-value windfalls. In approach, the example is typical, not ideal.

Activist Jim Wright coined “Port Metro Bridge” for the announced but officially unnamed South Arm bridge. He blogs at GardenCityLands.wordpress.com.

7 pivotal issues for a proactive new council

Voter turnout is dropping in all elections

but it’s most dismal at the municipal level, where, ironically people have the most say in what goes on.

Richmond’s voter turnout reached a low of 22.1 per cent in 2008,

when just 27,709 residents voted. In 2011, 31,126 cast ballots, resulting in a voter turnout of 23.7 per cent.

The reasons 70% to 80% don’t vote are many and growing with each election, from lack of engagement and cynicism to the difficulty and work involved in obtaining information.

According to a recent

study by the Columbia In-stitute, non-voters are not lazy or ignorant. In fact, they may simply weigh the work involved in vot-ing against their own self interest. If they don’t know who is running or don’t see an issue important to them, they may just stay home.

And so this year’s elec-tion may be another bust

— unless we can appeal to a voter’s sense of duty.

Admittedly, the process can be daunting because there are so many candi-dates to choose from.

But there are ways to get information that don’t require a PhD in political science. Look for cover-age under the Election Tab at richmondreview.com; look for cues such

as endorsements and candidate alignment; read the candidates’ write-ups in voters’ guides.

Then make a selection. It’s akin to a job interview and you, the voter are hiring someone who will make decisions in your backyard about taxes, livability and quality of education.

EDITORIAL: Why voting matters

The viewscape from Richmond City Centre in this 2005 photo includes mixed urban forest on the north side of Alderbridge Way. Most of the trees are in an area that has now been ‘clearcut.’

Editor:Re: “RITE candidates claim vic-

tory.”I read the above captioned item

and was quite flabbergasted at the audacity of RITE’s Carol Day and Michael Wolfe claiming that they wrote the motion that I in-troduced at the council meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 14.

Let me be absolutely clear that neither Carol Day nor Michael Wolfe had any part in what I wrote. I have never spoken with either of them about this or any other issue that I have brought forward to council.

I have always followed through on issues that I care about. My

motion to get a legal opinion was the first step that had to be taken to ascertain if council had the ability to deal with the signage issue. That legal opinion determined what steps council needs to take next if they want to consider introducing a bylaw that would include the manda-tory use of English on signs.

The unanimous support of council for the motions that were adopted at the council meeting on October 27th will ensure that if a bylaw is introduced that it will be able to withstand a court chal-lenge under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Consulting with the sign owners, engaging in a

broad public consultation, refer-ring the issue to the Intercultural Advisory Committee; the Cham-ber of Commerce; the Richmond Chinese Community Society and other business associations for comment and compiling relevant information on the effect the sign issue has had on commu-nity harmony will determine if a bylaw is necessary.

City staff will report back to council within six months on the results of the consultation process and council will then determine if a bylaw is to be introduced.

Coun. Evelina Halsey-BrandtRichmond

Councillor ‘flabbergasted’ at candidates’ audacity

Editor:I see that the Richmond Community Coalition

candidates have taken a number of smart positions in the civic election campaign, the latest of which is to pledge to halt the city’s annual 3% property tax hike. The very fact that candidates for council had to make such a pledge to counter this irresponsible standard practice that has developed with the current council speaks to the shocking detachment of incumbent councillors from the people who elected them.

I saw as long as a decade ago the emergence of an institutional bureaucratic arrogance at Rich-mond City Hall. It became an exercise of corporate branding—this absurd notion of a proud compact of convenience between a cheerleading coun-cil and a monolithic bureaucracy captained by megalomaniacal senior staff who believe their success is measured by their ability to undertake grandiose projects and events, sparing no cost and committed to only the highest quality that taxpayer money could buy. The larger the institution they could build, the more insulated they could become from the public that might question this approach. That insulation also buffered the politicians as they shirked their responsibility to be accountable.

Moreover, with councillors cheerleading from the sidelines while taking part in ribbon cuttings, openings, and on global tours, etc., the mutual back-patting frenzy created a wonderful sense of accomplishment and security—one so devoid of reality.

This horrendous conduct must come to an end. I’m hopeful at least a couple of new Richmond

Community Coalition candidates will be elected and will be strong enough to avoid being co-opted into this shameful cultural environment and, in-stead, champion wholesale change.

As Itai Erdal gets ready to perform his highly renowned production How To Disappear Completely at Gateway Theatre’s Studio B later this

month, we caught up with the ever-busy artist as he was finishing his work for Vancouver Opera at the Playhouse Theatre in Downtown Vancouver. Here’s what we found out: Q. Since the show premiered in 2011 at the Chutzpah! Festival, have you changed anything about the show? Yes, the show has changed quite a bit. The story is the same but my director James Long and dramaturge Anita Rochon rarely stop working on improving the way we tell this story.

Q. Why are you excited about performing this show again at Gateway Theatre?I am always excited to perform this show, this is our 14th remount and I never get tired of doing it. This show has changed my life and taken my career to places I couldn’t have imagined. It has touched the lives of many people and seems to have some universal themes that resonate with a very varied audience.

Q. What makes a good storyteller?The ability to engage the audience and having a good story to begin with. In my case I have a great story so it all comes down to being as relaxed and natural as I possibly can. I am not an actor but I realized something about acting and that is: the more I do the less the audience feels. If I am just a vessel and I tell the story in the most simple, straightforward way I possibly can then the audience feels a lot more.

Q. What should audiences expect from the show? They should expect to feel things, nobody leaves the show indifferent.

Westminster in 1967, and I have called Richmond home since 1970 where I have worked, worship, schooled, and made use of Richmond’s many facilities and organiza-tions ever since. Met my wife Nicole and started a young family.

What I bring is a clear vision of renewal, to rethink how to preserve and deliver or im-prove service levels. While reducing, or maintaining costs as we prepare for less tax base in the coming years due to mass retirement.

Some idea’s I would like to see are “local police”, a “new” relocated hospital, and seamless services for seniors, youth, and all those in need. I would therefore like to look at turning taxes on and off as needed and not assume that once a tax always a tax why not have levee’s that go away once the job is done.

2.) To understand and be-gin action plans for citizen/community and business needs unresolved by the current and past Richmond City Councils.

3.) To provide leadership and work purposefully to create affordable houses for both purchase and rent. In this regard, the establish-ment of a Richmond Hous-

4.) To strengthen two-way communication from Rich-mond City Council in order for citizens to feel engaged

Platform: I understand how to run a business, bal-ance the books and leave money aside for “rainy days”. Also, as a research scientist, I am presented with a lot of data that must be distilled down to a core of useful informa-tion. A simple “yes” or “no” answer is not always at-tainable in politics and we need people in office that can take all competing viewpoints and balance them. The current council has woefully mismanaged several issues important to Richmond. It is time to elect people to council that have your best inter-ests at heart, not just for a chosen few.

Trojans’ football has become ‘it’ eventby Don FennellSports Editor

High school football has again become an “it” event in Richmond,

and the fact the Hugh Boyd Trojans are the surprise story of this year’s gridiron cam-paign is only ramping up interest.

The youthful Tro-jans—a mix of talented Grade 11s and Grade 12s complemented by six Grade 10s—im-proved its 2014 B.C. “AA” league record to 3-0 Friday by handing the previously-unde-feated Holy Cross Cru-saders their first loss, 34-3, before another boisterious crowd at Hugh Boyd Park.

Now 5-0 overall, af-ter opting to start the season a month late in respect of the teacher’s strike, the Trojans are generating much excitement that is helping to spawn

crowds averaging 200 fans and more to their home games. Earlier this season, they drew 1,000 fans for a game against Burnaby’s Mo-scrop Panthers.

“This Friday’s game didn’t draw the big-gest crowd because of Halloween, but it was still a good crowd that was enjoying itself,” said Bruce Haddow, co-head coach of the Tro-jans with brother Bill.

Hugh Boyd’s games have figurately if not literally become events, attracting students not only from Hugh Boyd but throughout the city. Parents and oth-ers just generally in-terested in football are also making the trek out to experience the phenomenon of Friday

Night Lights football.There’s also no doubt

the current edition of the Trojans also de-serves some kudos. It’s not only the fact they’re winning that is drawing fans, but the style of play they’re fashioning.

Though the roster is small, at 20-some play-ers, the heart of every one of its players is undeniably large. This a talented collection of athletes that clearly has a ton of respect for each other, and that plays every down with unsurpassed determi-nation.

Another key factor in the Trojans’ success thus far is speed. It’s prevalent, not just in a few players, but argu-ably throughout the

entire lineup. And on both sides of the foot-ball.

“It reminds me of a team we had years ago with Kyle (Haddow) and Robert Giorno (whose younger broth-er Anthony is a key running back and line-backer for the current Trojans),” said Haddow. “Everybody knows guys like (Anthony) Giorno, (Tyler) Moxin and Gabe (Saklofski) are fast, but with this team, the speed is ev-erywhere.”

Quarterbacker Moxin, who also plays safety and handles the kick-ing, is among the quickest players in the league, while the wide-outs are no slouches either.

Family atmosphere evokes winningFrom Page 16

But what excites Had-dow every bit as much is the speed among the offensive and defensive lines and on the defen-sive side of the ball in general. That was appar-ent in Friday’s win over Holy Cross, when one of the Trojans appeared to defy that no human can go faster than the speed of light when he raced down the field to catch a fleet-footed Crusader at the five-yard-line to pre-vent a touchdown.

“It comes with an at-titude, too,” said Had-dow. “They want to get involved and get to the ball, without being un-disciplined, as quickly as possible. I just watched game tape and rarely did you see only one guy in on a tackle. There were usually four and five guys around the ball, which is something we’ve really emphasized.”

The bond among the

Trojans also stands out for Haddow. He said af-ter each practice, instead of breaking with a “One, two, three, Trojans” this group changed it up to “One, two three, family.”

“That’s really important because they believe they’re all in this togeth-er,” he said.

For all the Trojans’ suc-

cess thus far—which he stresses they richly deserve—Haddow said they haven’t yet faced any real adversity. He anticipates they might get a dose this weekend when they play an exhi-bition game at the prov-ince’s No. 5-ranked Pitt Meadows Marauders, currently 4-1 in league

play but having already played nine games this season overall.

“Bill (Haddow) worked really hard to get this game,” said Bruce. “Sometimes you want to keep a bye week be-fore the playoffs begin, but we discussed this as a coaching staff and came to a quick agree-ment that if we could get a quality opponent it would be a good thing. I think we need to get away from home and ex-perience that again, plus we’ve never been behind in a game all year save for 90 seconds when we trailed Seaquam in our opener. And the scores have been rather lop-sided, too.”

Don Fennell photoHugh Boyd coach Bruce Haddow is more than pleased with what he’s seen from the Trojans this season.

Home is where the heart is, and for Jean Hawbolt that’s

among family and friends.Most mornings, she enjoys a

cup of coffee with friends at the Richmond Centre food court across from the Minoru Residences she has called home since the 1970s. It’s a growing legion of friends that make the trek to the mall to share some time with the ever-engaging 104 year old.

Living by yourself can be very lonely, and the days long, she says.

“I have to get out of my place to see others.”

Celebrating her birthday recently at the food court, she recited to the group: “A little bit of heaven entered my heart today. You sat around the table and talked to me, and you helped make my day, like a ray of sunshine on a summer’s day.”

A widow for half a century now, since her husband—the Canadian Pacific Railway’s chief horticulturalist who died in his early 50s of a heart

attack while aboard a train—Haw-bolt dedicated her life to brighten-ing the lives of others.

But her friends would be quick to tell you that it’s Hawbolt who helps illuminate theirs.

Horace Excell, 93, calls her “a fine lady.”

“It is an important part of my day to visit with Jean. As a single senior, it is very meaningful to see others and to have them as your friend.”

Don Taylor, who retired two years following a lengthy career as a teacher and principal in Richmond, met Hawbolt while visiting his long-time friend Excell.

“Jean has a smile as she speaks to everyone, and she pours out expressions of love and goodness. No wonder she is so popular with so many,” says Taylor.

“I would bring my 90-year-old dad by to sit with her, and she would hold his hand and kiss his hand. It’s not a typical thing for my dad’s generation, so I found his reaction amusing and quite lovely to see. Then Jean would say: I bet you love your wife and she loves you. Love is what keeps us all going.”

Taylor says she once turned to

him and said “I don’t know why I’m here. Everyone else (her old friends) is gone.”

“You’re here because you have so many woderful messages for people to hear,” he replied.

“I think you feel drawn to people who get to that age,” Taylor says. “You’re captivated by their longevity as we try to make sense of our own lives, how quickly it’s moving, and fragile nature of it.”

Hawbolt’s only child, Bruce, is awed not just by his mother’s lon-gevity but her life.

“She’s amazing really, and at this age to still have the capacity she has (including cooking her own meals),” says the Richmond man, a retired engineer who also taught for 34 years at University of B.C., sharing a passion for education with his wife Roberta (Black), a popular retired school teacher whose father founded Black and Lee formal wear.

“You build a life around your friends, but because all her old friends are gone she’s found new ones,” says Bruce, who was a key organizer of a recent reunion of Richmond High grads.

From Page 20“She enjoys going over to the mall. That’s her social-izing.”

Bruce says his mom has always been a very deter-mined person, evident even long before his dad passed away. Growing up one of seven children of Scottish immigrants from Edinburgh, Jean complet-ed Grade 6 but was then tasked with helping take care of her two young-est siblings—including brother Lloyd Walker who at 90 still lives on the North Shore.

“Her dad was a stone-mason, and all the boys worked as masons,” adds Bruce, who notes his grandparents both lived into their 80s.

The Walker family settled in Burnaby, where they built a majestic home on Eton Street just seven blocks from the Pacific National Exhibi-tion grounds. Jean and the PNE both share 1910 as their birth year, and the former has fond memories of going to the annual fair as a child. Her older brothers would dig a secret tunnel under a fence to sneak in and avoid paying the nickel entrance fee. Meanwhile, their dad would give each child a dime for the day so the siblings “wouldn’t want to have just 5¢ left.”

Jean’s favourite ride at the PNE was the ferris wheel, while she also enjoyed tasting the treats in the food building.

A resident of Richmond since 1951, Jean Hawbolt sees a much different community today than when she first arrived here 60-plus years ago. But, says Bruce, she’s

most bewildered at how the price of everything has changed.

“She can’t believe it’s so expensive,” he says.

Reflecting further on his

mom’s life, Bruce says in a different world she prob-ably would have become a caregiver, like a nurse.

“I think that is a strong point,” he says. “Even after

she stopped looking after people (which she did to earn income after her husband’s passing), she still demonstrated that caregiver’s attitude.”

At 104, Hawbolt still inspiring others

Visit our website (www.WillPowerLaw.com)or call us at (604)233-7001 to discuss your Wills, Estates and Seniors’ questions.

In 2007, the Supreme Court of Canada changed the law relating to the treatment of assets advanced to children. Th e case (Pecore v. Pecore) pertains to bank accounts, but also applies to land and other assets.

For example, the old law generally was that if an adult added a child to a bank account and later died, the account belonged to the child on the basis of the legal presumption of advancement. Th at presumption no longer applies to adult children.

Today, if an adult adds a child to her/his bank account, whether the child keeps it on the death depends on the parent’s intention at the time they added their child to the account. If there is no evidence of what the parent intended, the law deems the child to be holding the account on a resulting trust for the deceased parent’s Estate.

Th is summer, the Ontario Court of Appeal released reasons for judgment in the case Sawdon Estate v. Sawdon. It involves a father who added two of his fi ve children to his bank accounts, telling them that when he died, the funds were to be distributed equally among all the fi ve children.

Th e FactsTh e deceased died in March 2007. He had seven bank accounts

and, between 2004 and 2006, following the death of his wife, he added two of his fi ve children to the bank accounts. Th e seven bank accounts contained just over $1 million.

Th e deceased made a Will in 2006, and his Lawyer directed him also to make a declaration of trust so that, on his death, the funds would pass as he wanted. In his Will, each child was given the greater of $100,000 or the largest amount owing on mortgages that the deceased held on the homes of two of his children (the ones he added to the accounts).

Th e Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Canada was bequeathed the share of any of the fi ve children who had predeceased the father without being survived by children. Watch Tower, the registered charity representing Jehovah’s Witnesses in Canada, was also in the Will given the residue of the Estate.

Aft er his wife died, the father also went to his bank (CIBC) and discussed adding his children to his accounts. Th e bank employee advised him that he could set up a joint account with or without the “right of survivorship.” He chose accounts with the right of survivorship, meaning that the funds would pass directly to the two children on his death.

Watch Tower claimed that when the father died, the bank account funds fell into his Estate and so should go to Watch Tower. Meanwhile, the two children who were added to the account claimed that the funds should instead go to the fi ve children in equal shares.

At the Trial (in the Ontario Superior Court), an unusual event happened. Th e Lawyer for the father testifi ed, but it turned out that he was an “elder” with the Jehovah’s Witnesses and had acted as their Counsel in the past. Apparently, he did not disclose that to the deceased when making the Will. Th e Court held that the bank account funds were not part of the Estate. Watch Tower appealed.

Court’s decisionTh e Court examined and considered the Pecore case at length.

But its analysis was diff erent from the typical sort of analysis in these cases. Th e Court said that when the father created the joint accounts with his sons, he also created a trust. Th e fi ve children were the benefi ciaries, and the two sons added to the accounts became the “Trustees.” Th ey held the funds in trust for the deceased’s fi ve children in equal shares.

Th us, the funds never were destined for the deceased’s Estate. Th e deceased simply created a Trust (not a gift ). Th us, Watch Tower was never a trust benefi ciary, and that is why its appeal was dismissed.

What does it mean for you?Many parents, once they know about Probate costs (not just the

provincial government Probate fees but the overall costs), will try to minimize them. It’s natural for parents to try and transfer funds to their children without the inconvenience and cost of Probate. It won’t apply to all families, for various reasons.

But, having to Probate a Will, though it costs money, is not “the end of the world.” It depends on your family’s circumstances. Certainly, with bank accounts (and land), it is far easier to make a sound plan and add children as joint account holders. Done with care, the funds will pass to the parent’s children relatively quickly and with minimal cost.

Now, enjoy the Canucks’ game (against San Jose) tomorrow!

Sockeyes show they can win low-scoring game, tooby Don FennellSports Editor

Richmond Sockeyes have proven they can score goals in great numbers. But they’re also showing they can win the low-scoring games, too.

On Thursday, they played perhaps their most patient game this season to douse the visiting Ridge Meadows Flames 3-1 at Minoru Arenas and improve their Pacific Junior Hock-ey League record to 13-

3-0-1 on the season.“We won a 6-4 game in

North Vancouver earlier in the year, and the last two games we played against Port Moody and Ridge were either tied or one-goal games go-ing into the third and we both. But this was the first real low-scoring game,” said Richmond coach Judd Lambert.

After surrendering an early 1-0 lead (Jonathin Weloy scored for the Flames at 3:28 of the first period), the Sock-eyes evened the score at

8:17 on rookie forward Evan Thomas’ second career goal at 8:17. Then with six seconds to play in the opening frame, Daniel Oakley scored the eventual game-winner. Thomas and Matt Bissett earned assists on Oak-ley’s 13th in 17 games.

Tyler Andrews iced the victory with an empty net goal at 19:13 of the third period.

While happy with his team’s resolve against the Flames, Lambert said the Sockeyes still have work to do. He said

victories are becoming harder to record because the opposition is also im-proving.

“It’s a long season and we’ve got a lot of hockey in the next two months,” he said. “This season is a bit unusual because of the structure, with quite a few games in short stretches which doesn’t leave a lot of practice time.”

This week presents such a challenge, when the Sockeyes will play three games in four nights—beginning to-

night (Monday) at the Harold Brittain Confer-ence-leading Langley Knights (9-5-1-0). The Sockeyes then play at the Aldergrove Kodiaks (3-6-2-4) Wednesday, before returning home to face the Knights (9-5-1-0) Thursday at 7 p.m.

“We’ll have only one day off, so it can be a tedious stretch. We just have to make the best of it,” said Lambert, who noted only 10 players were able to make Sun-day’s practice because of injuries and other com-

mitments.“The playoffs are go-

ing to busy as well, so at least we’re getting a good taste for it.”

EYE BROWSE: Malcolm Glaholt, the 19-year-old forward whom the Sockeyes acquired from

the Granview Steelers last week for the playing rights to Jackson Waniek, still has to make his de-but with the Sockeyes. At this point, Lambert said it appears he will concentrate on school instead of playing hock-ey.

Don Fennell photoMany of the 36 Connaught skaters who have qualified for this week’s B.C. and Yukon Section Championships in Prince George got in some last-minute practice Saturday at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

by Don FennellSports Editor

Preparation is key when it comes to explaining the ongoing success of Con-naught skaters.

Under the guidance of Keegan Murphy, director of skating programs, and the watchful eyes of an elite coaching staff, skaters at the Richmond-based club rou-tinely qualify to compete among the best in their respective brackets. This week’s Super Series B.C./Yukon Section Champi-onships is no exception, with 36 of Con-naught’s talented young athletes making the trek to Prince George for the Nov. 6 to 9 event.

The club held a simulation of the Skate Canada regional event last Thursday, heightening the anticipation of the real competition starting Thursday.

While qualifying 36 skaters might seem like a lot for a single club, it has been the average at Connaught in each of the last three or four years. The club continues to grow its widely-regarded reputation as

one of the strongest in the province by producing the largest groups of athletes at this level.

“We are very proud of our group this year, but also of our consistent competi-tive development,” says Murphy. “I think (the large number of qualifiers) is due to the culture of our training. Our staff has high standards, and our families are dedi-cated to the sport and our athletes reach for the stars. Coaches try to encourage ev-ery young skater that they can reach the level. The youngest generation also sees our current champions as role models and inspires to get there too.”

Murphy said the young skaters demon-strate an “awesome” work ethic and incred-ible spirit for figure skating.

“Often, the competitive spirit and intense work ethic can draw greater success than just a huge amount of talent with nothing else,” he said. “Those in medal position will have to rise to the occasion and do their best on the day of the event. But regard-less of what happens, they have all built great life skills along the journey.”

Preparation puts skaters at forefront

Sandhu delivers lone goal as Chaos win another one

Richmond Chaos employed a reliable formula for vic-tory Sunday—by hanging out around the net.

In a game characterized by close checking, striker Alana Sandhu found a loose ball and rifled it into the back of the goal from seven yards out with 12 minutes to go as the Richmond Girls’ Soccer Association club secured a 1-0 victory over Vancouver Magic and re-main undefeated (7-0-1) in the Metro Women’s Soccer League Third Division.

Sandhu’s goal came off a scramble when two de-fenders mistakenly thought Chaos midfieflder Tegan Rodriquez had the ball and moved out to check her.

Halloween Street at South Arm Community Centre

South Arm Com-

munity Centre was transformed into Hal-loween Street last Friday, which incorporated themed activities for families and kids of all ages.

Having originated with just the fireworks, South Arm has developed their Halloween event into a larger, more involved cel-ebration, starting with the haunted house three years ago, and adding the rest of the Halloween Street festivi-ties last year.

Mainly run by youth vol-unteers, activities included indoor trick-or-treating, the Witches Brew arts and crafts room, bouncy castles, The Darkness haunted house, and fireworks at the end to wrap up the event.

“When I first started here,

my boss, the board, and I discussed the decline in trick-or-treating in our neighbour-hoods,” said Daisy Byrne, South Arm’s community development co-ordinator.

“So, we want-ed to bring the trick-or-treating we used to do

as kids in our own streets with our neighbours and our families indoors to provide a different setting for families to come, get to know each other, stay warm and dry, gather some candy, and see the tradition of Halloween as we knew it growing up.”

Byrne hopes to grow the event next year by opening the haunted house earlier to include school groups and raise awareness about the Halloween Street event.
