A controversial ban on hauling garbage out of Met-ro Vancouver has been shot down by regional district di-rectors, at least for now.

The proposed waste fl ow control bylaw—denounced by some critics as a way to pen up gar-bage in the region to feed a new in-cinerator—aimed to keep waste from going to an Abbotsford trans-fer station or other out-of-region land-fi lls where tipping fees are far lower and Metro bans on dumping recyclables don't apply.

The 6-5 vote Thursday by Metro's zero waste commit-tee doesn't kill the idea, the subject of a year of debate and dozens of delegations, but sends it to a task force for more work and improve-ment.

"It's incumbent on us to make it as perfect as it can possibly be," Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters said.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, chair of the commit-tee, voted to press on with the bylaw, which already had two readings, saying it was good enough, if imperfect.

But it was defeated. The task force is to report back by December on improve-ments, setting the stage for a revised bylaw to resurface.

Metro planners had warned a trickle of waste

now being trucked out of region threatens to turn into a fl ood, bleeding the re-gional district of tipping fee revenue that underpins the entire garbage and recycling system.

The decision came after several waste and recycling industry reps spoke against

the bylaw, as well as B.C. Chamber of Commerce presi-dent John Winter, who said a "Metro monopoly" on gar-bage disposal would mean higher costs for businesses and thwart unfettered free enterprise.

Waste hauler BFI, which trucks gar-

bage from Metro businesses to Abbotsford, was one of the staunchest opponents of the bylaw.

Even more loudly opposed was Northwest Waste So-lutions, a fi rm building a $30-million mixed-waste material recovery facility (MRF) in south Vancouver to pull recyclables from gar-bage.

The bylaw was originally to ban so-called "dirty" MRFs that sort garbage, but, under pressure from Northwest, Metro retooled the bylaw to allow them.

Planners built in tight re-strictions to guard against the potential downside—backsliding on conventional recycling, where people do the sorting prior to collec-tion, not machinery at a plant.

From Page 1Northwest argued its MRF’s machinery could re-

trieve much usable material that would otherwise go to landfi lls or be incinerated.

The idea appealed to Metro directors, who know re-cycling rates are dismal in apartment buildings and thought it may help get the region up to and over its goal of 70 per cent diversion.

But Northwest CEO Ralph McRae denounced the planned limits, calling them a “bureaucratic strangle-hold” on his operation and accused Metro of confl ict-of-interest because it will soon build a new incinerator that could be starved of fuel if his recycling model succeeds.

Metro’s concession to his operation also drew fi re from rival recycling fi rms that had previously sup-ported a waste export ban.

Some feared losing their normal fl ow of separated recyclables if Northwest’s MRF ate up much of the market by off ering a single-stream pickup service with no separation required.

They predicted low-quality contaminated recy-clables will come out of the MRF, while its off er of

convenient single-bin disposal leads to less overall recycling.

“We can expect really discouraging rates of recov-ery,” said Louise Schwarz of the Recycling Alternative.

“This is exactly the wrong time to throw a Hail Mary on a technology that frankly has mixed results,” said Nicole Stefenelli, on behalf of nine recycling fi rms with the Recycle First Coalition.

She argued Metro didn’t have enough teeth to pun-ish a MRF that disobeys the rules and lets unrecycled waste exit the region—it has no ticketing power, only the “nuclear” option of pulling a plant’s licence.

The bylaw would have forced all waste to go to in-region facilities, except some residue from approved MRFs, a loophole some said gave Northwest a back-door to send trash to the Fraser Valley.

“We’ve managed to see 100 per cent of the people opposed to this bylaw for a number of diff erent rea-sons,” said Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer before voting against it as too complex and unenforceable.

Mayor Brodie said one solution may be eliminating mixed-waste MRFs as an allowed option, adding that compromise greatly complicated the bylaw.

‘Wrong time to throw a Hail Mary’

Accessible playground fundraisers Saturday

Two fundraisers are scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 14, with all proceeds going to an eff ort to build accessible playgrounds in Richmond.

Jason and Barb Davidson, owners of M&M Meat Shops at Francis and Gilbert roads, have off ered to host a fundraising barbecue as part of their fi rst anniversary celebrations from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The same day, Pet Food and More, at Garden City Shopping Centre, is hosting a dog wash by donation.

The fundraisers are in support of the eff orts of Amanda Bostik, mother of three-year-old Gemma who was born with a neuromuscular disorder.

Amanda Bostik has been working with civic of-fi cials to build an accessible playground for chil-dren of all ages with mobility challenges.

Save-On-Foods and O’Hares GastroPub have al-ready hosted fundraisers for the initiative.

Terry Fox Run returns to Steveston Sunday

Working together to outrun cancer.It’s a simple enough motto, but one that accu-

rately refl ects the goal of the Terry Fox Run.Held annually and concurrently throughout the

world each September, the run, which was fi rst held in 1981, was inspired by Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope as of way of his continuing his dream to fi nd a cure for cancer.

This year’s Terry Fox Run in Richmond will be this Sunday, Sept. 15 at Garry Point Park.

Registration by donation is between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m., with the fi ve- and 10-kilometre walk/run and one kilometer family trek beginning at 10 a.m. There will also be a silent auction from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

The Terry Fox Run is the largest one-day fund-raiser for cancer research, with more than $500 million raised in honour of the athlete, humanitar-ian and cancer research activist who in 1980, with one leg, embarked on a cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research.

Man’s body found on boardwalk

Richmond Mounties are investigating what they’ve described as the “sudden death” of a man on the boardwalk at River Road, at Cambie, just west of Aberdeen Centre.

Passersby found the body, which is that of a 32-year-old man, around 6:20 a.m.

“Police and the coroners offi cer continue to in-vestigate to determine how the male died,” Rich-mond RCMP Cpl. Stephanie Ashton said.

CUPE staff ‘very disappointed’‘It’s a pretty slimy way of doing business,’ says president of union local

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

It doesn’t appear that a four-per-cent wage hike over three years will be enough to avert job action, according to the latest press release from CUPE, which represents some 27,000 education workers in the Kindergarten through Grade 12 system.

On Monday, the union an-nounced that after five days of bargaining, it came away “very disappointed” with the latest offer from the province.

June Kaiser, president of CUPE Local 716, which rep-resents Richmond elemen-tary and high school workers, said talks are set to resume next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

“If nothing changes from what you saw, then I’m pretty sure we’re looking at job ac-tion province wide.”

And that could take the form of a complete walkout, she said.

And if picket lines go up around schools, Kaiser said teachers have stated they would honour the picket lines.

Kaiser said there’s a legal requirement to give 72-hours strike notice to employers.

CUPE employees are looking for a four-per-cent wage hike over two years, with retroac-tive pay for the year they’ve been working without a con-tract.

She said the province’s offer falls far short, as it’s four-per-cent over four years, with two per cent coming during the second year, and another two per cent coming on the final day of the contract, meaning it’s not covered until the next contract.

“It’s a pretty slimy way of do-ing business,” Kaiser said.

Donna Sargent, chair of the Richmond board of educa-tion, said the district has not received anything official re-garding the province’s offer.

“We do not have informa-tion regarding strike action and we hope we do not get there.”

On behalf of the board, Sar-gent wrote a letter last week to Education Minister Peter Fassbender, expressing con-cerns about earlier correspon-dence from the ministry.

“While we recognize a wage increase from CUPE employ-

ees is warranted, we feel obligated to communicate strongly and clearly that suf-ficient funding for education is essential in order to main-tain the high quality of edu-cation we offer for all of our students,” Sargent wrote.

“It is imperative that the government make the provi-sion of adequate funding to cover all the costs associated with K to 12 public education a top priority. This includes providing districts with funds to support any negotiated wage increases.”

Sargent’s letter also ex-presses concerns about the reduced role of the B.C. Pub-lic School Employers Associa-tion, which negotiates on be-half of education boards with teachers.

“The recent announcements reducing (the association) to an advisory role without con-sultation is alarming in its im-plications for the future of the co-governance model in our province,” Sargent wrote.

The government’s offer to education workers comprises a zero-per-cent wage hike in the first year, two per cent in the second, and two per cent on the last day of the con-tract, according to CUPE.

Legends Pub hosts Project Emily fundraiser Thursdayby Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Supporters of a mas-sive volunteer eff ort to help rebuild the lives of a local family are raising funds for the project at a pub night tomorrow (Thursday) in Rich-mond.

Funds will go toward Project Emily, which is heading into the fi nal stretch of the construc-tion stage. Named in honour of Emily de Boer, a young Steveston girl who became a paraple-gic in 2011, Project Em-ily is an eff ort to build a new accessible home for the de Boer family.

The community eff ort is being led by Brian Wil-liams, owner of Ashton Service Group, and con-tractor Ken Johnson. Their goal is to have the home fi nished in time for the family to move in before Christmas.

Project Emily is still in need of fi lers and fi nish carpenters, along with cash donations.

Thursday’s pub night will feature a live auc-tion emceed by Hockey Night in Canada’s Jim Hughson. Rick Hansen will also be in atten-dance. A silent auction, 50-50 draw and music

are also on tap.Tickets, $20, include a

burger and fries or sal-ad. The evening starts at 5:30 p.m. at Legends Pub and Restaurant, 6511 Buswell St. Call 604-283-2383 for tickets and more information.

Safety violations net several local fi rms fi nesOne fine linked to serious injury, others involve failing to ensure workers wore proper equipment

Several Richmond fi rms were among the 47 who recently faced a total of 51 penalties imposed by WorkSafeBC.

Released Friday, ad-ministrative penalties are published every two months.

Richmond Plywood Corporation Ltd./Richply was fi ned $15,000 last April in connection with an accident that caused serious injury.

A worker for the ply-wood fi rm was adjusting a valve on a saw when he was struck by parts of the saw and seriously injured.

A WorkSafe investiga-tion found that the fi rm “failed to ensure that the saw was fi tted with adequate safeguards to protect workers from contact with its hazard-ous power transmission parts.”

According to the ex-planation of the fi ne, the fi rm had failed to provide an emergency stopping system on its conveyor a few days prior to the ac-cident.

“The emergency stop-ping system was required because workers’ access to the conveyor was not prevented by guarding. These were repeated violations of safeguard-ing and the conveyor re-quirements,” according to WorkSafeBC.

Four fi rms were also fi ned for workers not wearing fall protection equipment.

In early April, AAG Con-struction Ltd. was fi ned $3,670.70 for multiple safety violations, includ-ing four workers who lacked the required fall protection equipment as they worked be-tween nine and 11 me-tres above grade on the house’s unguarded roof.

Also in April, Seven Star Precision Construction Ltd. was fi ned $2,973.38 when two of its workers, including the company principal, were working without fall protection equipment on a steep two-storey house under construction.

“They were about six metres above grade and working near the edge of the roof, which was not guarded. The work-ers wore fall protection harnesses, but were not connected to lifelines...This was a repeated vio-

lation,” said WorkSafeBC.Serpentine Cedar

Roofi ng Ltd. was fi ned $12,334.84 last April when the company’s su-pervisor and one other worker were some seven metres above grade on a steep roof.

“The air hoses and loose shingles that were on the roof increased the workers’ risk of tripping and falling. The concrete and stacked roofi ng ma-terials on the ground be-low increased their risk of serious injury in the vent of a fall. The fi rm failed to ensure its workers used the required fall protec-tion, which was a repeat-ed violation. The fi rm also failed to provide its workers with the super-vision required to ensure

their safety,” WorkSafeBC published this month.

Last May, Topsong In-dustries Inc. was fi ned $5,000 relating to work-ers not wearing fall-pro-tection equipment.

“The fi rm’s principal and four of its other workers were working without the required fall protection on the sloped roof of a two-storey house. They were at least 5.5 metres above grade. The fi rm failed to ensure its workers used the required fall protec-tion and failed to provide them with the training and supervision needed to ensure their safety. These were both repeat-ed violations.”

Fairway Disposal and Demolition Ltd. was

fi ned $12,603.30 failing to comply with a safety order.

“The fi rm had used concrete blocks to create a temporary structure to contain waste. The waste was piled to the top of one of the struc-ture’s walls, which was about 3.5 metres high and leaning outward. An excavator was operated on top of the waste, near the wall.”

When WorkSafeBC or-dered the fi rm to obtain certifi cation from an en-gineer stating that the structure was capable of withstanding the stress-es likely to be imposed on it, the fi rm “failed to comply within a reason-able time.”

Totally inappro-priate. A waste of money. Spend

it on buses instead. When word went around that Trans-Link had approved $615,000 for three public art installa-tions, the public out-cry was immediate.

But we say it’s money well spent.

The public art pieces are destined for three SkyTrain stations, as part of the Expo Line station upgrades. None are yet planned for Richmond’s Canada Line stations, but at least, in recent years, the Vancouver Biennale has enlivened those con-crete monsters at little cost to taxpayers.

That’s what public art does. It brings life to communities.

For the most part, this has already been rec-ognized by our elected officials at Richmond City Hall. Although they turned down the chance to buy one of the most recognized sculptures of the last Vancouver Bien-nale—Wind Waves, which was located at Garry Point—it has managed to push developers to bring numerous artworks to

Richmond.And council itself has

opted to spend $200,000 for five to eight tempo-rary public art installa-tions on a half-vacant pillar at the end of the Canada Line on No. 3 Road.

That decision nary raised an eyebrow from the public. At least not yet.

Public art makes places welcoming. Transit sta-tions that are more than just concrete become

meeting places and pub-lic squares. Good public art leads to dialogue.

A world without public art is a world without the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty. Rich-mond without public art is a city without the Steveston Fishermen’s Memorial in Garry Point Park, Water Sky Garden at the Richmond Olympic Oval or The Jade Canoe at the airport.

All these oft-photo-graphed pieces create a

sense of pride and place.Public art can also be

a boon to the economy for its ability to attract tourists and visitors. It was artist Blake Williams (creator of The River at Thompson Community Centre) who wisely once said: people don’t go to Europe just for baguettes.

The $615,000 TransLink is prepared to spend is a drop in the bucket of its $1.36-billion operat-ing budget. If the cash is diverted to a new bus

route, that would pay for a bus, with little left over to cover the $100,000 it approximately costs to operate it each year.

Backlash to the expense is normal. It’s right to question it. And it’s up to TransLink—like any other public institution—to prove its value to the public.

TransLink’s pending public art has already accomplished something most artists aim for. It has people talking.

opinion

Local politicians from across B.C. are in Vancouver

Sept. 16 to 20 to take part in the annual Union of B.C. Munici-palities convention.

There will be trivia re-ported as news, such as the cost of hotels. Suggestions to license mobility scooters or lower speed limits to 40 km/h, dreamed up in Van-couver Island retirement locales, will be rejected by delegates from the rest of

the province.Serious discussion will

revolve around a report by a UBCM executive commit-tee to reshape the fi nancial relationship between the province and local govern-ments. If this proposal gets the support it deserves, Premier Christy Clark’s gov-ernment will be asked to undo a couple of decades of political meddling in that relationship.

One problem for local governments is that they depend on property tax, a stable source of rev-enue but one that has no relationship to the proper-ty owner’s ability to pay. It tends to load costs onto lower-income groups such as seniors and renters.

Economic growth results mainly in increased corpo-rate and personal income tax revenues as well as sales taxes, which aren’t shared with local govern-ments.

One key proposal is to re-turn to a system of revenue sharing grants introduced by the Social Credit gov-

ernment in the 1980s. They were funded by one point each from personal and corporate income tax and six per cent of sales, fuel and resource tax revenues, thus increasing in years when provincial revenues were strong.

The UBCM proposal is to put a share of provincial revenues into an infrastruc-ture bank, to be distributed by the organization on a more stable basis.

Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard, one of the authors of the report, uses a basket-ball analogy to describe the current system of federal-provincial grants for road and bridge projects. It’s a “jump ball,” where com-munities have to apply to a fund when it’s off ered and then see who gets it.

Even if a community wins the jump ball, they may fi nd themselves with costs infl ated by a hot construction market and an arbitrary deadline to get the job done.

Then there are new regulations imposed by

senior governments. The most dramatic example these days is a 2020 federal deadline for Greater Victo-ria to construct land-based sewage treatment. Even with federal and provincial cost sharing, this project is going to land heavily on property tax bills, including those of pensioners and poor renters who will have it passed on to them.

Leonard points to another arbitrary system, provincial facilities that pay grants in lieu of property taxes. Saanich is home to the University of Victoria, a community of 25,000 people that needs wa-ter and sewer service, as well as police and fi re protection. Saanich gets an annual grant in lieu of property taxes of $120,000 for UVic, enough to cover wages and benefi ts for one cop and maybe some gas money.

Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond, co-chair of the UBCM committee, is concerned about new water and fl ood protection

legislation the province is preparing to impose. His district and others like it have thousands of kilo-metres of riverfront, with relatively few property owners.

Interior communities also want BC Hydro to pay something for power lines, as is now being done with some aboriginal territories.

Local politicians will be expecting a sympathetic ear from the new version of the B.C. Liberal govern-ment. Former Quesnel councillor Coralee Oakes is the new community, sport and cultural develop-ment minister, with direct responsibility for local government issues.

And one of the original members of this UBCM committee was former Langley City mayor Peter Fassbender, who is now Minister of Education.

Editor:Often during road construction, there are un-

avoidable delays, some frustrations and complaints despite the best eff orts of all involved.  

Since I drive into Vancouver for work along Russ Baker Way, I have to compliment the traffi c engi-neering eff orts of YVR and the City of Richmond. Firstly, the road was in serious need of repair and,

secondly, the design of the traffi c diversion while the work is being done is brilliant. The delays have been almost non-existent and that is entirely due to the planning and traffi c pattern design.

I can’t remember a more effi cient or better planned traffi c diversion and you deserve credit.

Editor:I recently had the honour to

be present for the first RCMP Musical Ride to be held in Rich-mond. My family and I came with high expectations and we were not disappointed, the riders were excellent and the horses were beautiful.  

The Musical Ride is a national treasure and I feel sorry for those who were not able to at-tend the event. The Richmond

detachment contributed by adding a small Sunset Ceremo-ny to the event, I was filled with pride as I watched the members carry out the flag drills with great respect. 

I thought of just how much that flag has meant to people in Canada and around the world. It was a wonderful evening and a great event for Richmond.

lettersRichmond Christmas Fund needs your helpEditor:

Last year, when I be-came community chair of the Richmond Christ-mas Fund, I learned very quickly that, though the program is most active during the holiday season, it takes a year-round eff ort to make it a success. The amount of planning involved is simply extraordinary,

but of course, well worth it.

As community chair, I’m not directly in-volved with Christmas fund operations. That’s handled by a small team of dedicated staff and an incredible group of over 120 volunteers. My role is to help boost the public profi le of the program, to help raise

money and awareness so the Christmas fund can assist as many families as possible, and, hopefully, off er greater assistance year after year.

To that end, I formed the Richmond Christ-mas Fund Roundtable. Comprised entirely of volunteers—who them-selves are community

and business leaders from a wide range of industries and profes-sions—the group began in 2012 with 25 mem-bers. That year, through special events, fundrais-ing campaigns, and sector specifi c initiatives like the Realtor Chal-lenge, the roundtable played a signifi cant role in Christmas fund fun-draising eff orts, which totalled nearly $200,000.

This year, the round-table has doubled in size to 50 members. In 2014, we hope to reach 100. With each mem-ber doing their part to contribute to this very important cause, we feel we can make an ever greater impact in our community, and on the lives of families strug-gling through diffi cult times.

But we can’t do it alone. Visit www.volun-teerrichmond.ca to fi nd out how you can get involved. Together, let’s ensure that everyone can share in the holiday spirit.

lettersSufficient funding essentialEditor:

An open letter to Peter Fassbender, Minister of Education. The news that the government and the CUPE negotiating team are now back to the bargaining table is most encouraging. Bargaining in good faith is a goal of any negotiation pro-cess and one our board strongly endorses.

While we recognize a wage increase for CUPE employees is warranted, we feel obligated to communicate strongly and clearly that suffi cient funding for education is essential in order to maintain the high quality of education we off er for all of our students.

It is imperative that the government make the provision of adequate funding to cover all costs associated with K to 12 public education a top priority. This includes pro-viding districts with funds to support any negoti-ated wage increases.

Boards have been directed by your ministry to identify cost savings in order to fund any negoti-ated wage settlement. Our board has always been diligent and has attained necessary cost savings through staff and other reductions to bal-ance our budget.

Therefore the directive to fi nd further savings will inevitably mean a reduction in service levels through further staff cuts. The B.C. School Trustees Association, at its 2013 AGM, made the following a part of its policy, and we fully supported this mo-tion: “Government should fully fund boards of education for all increases in their costs attributable to the government.”

The recent announce-ments reducing the B.C. Public School Employ-ers’ Association to an advisory role without consultation is alarming in its implications for the future of the co-governance model in our province.

It is our hope that the scheduled round of bargaining results in a successful and reason-able provincial frame-work, and further that this framework does not put the fi nancial burden for any negotiated settle-ments on school districts.

Sockeyes reload for 2013-14Defending Canadian Junior B hockey champs boast deep pool of incoming talent

Ice time•Richmond Sockeyes host Abbotsford Pilots in their inaugural home game of the 2013-14 Pacifi c Junior Hockey League sea-son 7 p.m. Thursday at Minoru Arenas. They’ll raise their Canadian championship banner to the rafters prior to the game.

It’s back to the drawing board—again—for the Richmond Sockeyes.

A model of success since debuting in 1972, rebuild-ing, or more accurately reloading has seemed to be an annual happening for the local junior hockey club. But thanks to strong ownership, solid coach-ing and the keen eye of general manager Richard Petrowsky, the Sockeyes are rarely out of title con-tention.

It’s time to put away the scuba dresses, black and white

striped pieces and any-thing neon. Fall fashion has arrived along with a new set of trends. For this season the theme

is a play on feminine and masculine styles with a bit of androgy-nous punk thrown in.

Fall and winter shows coincided with the anticipa-tion of Metropolitan Museum’s fashion exhibit, Punk: Chaos to Couture, held at the Costume Institute earlier this year. These events culminated in the alternative trend currently found in stores and as a part of street style. For fall, Rodarte showcased their punk sensibility

with deconstructed dresses and oversized motorcycle jackets. Hardware details, vinyl pants and tangled layers of necklaces were spotted over at Versace. Even Chanel designed thigh-high leather boots draped with metal chains. To get the punk look, try pairing a distressed leather jacket with skinny tartan pants and combat boots. Incorporate details such as studs, chains and spikes. An addi-tional and easy way to

add a touch of punk to your ensemble is with an ear cuff . Seen at Jean Paul Gaultier and Thakoon, the ear cuff is defi nitely undergoing a revival.

Another returning 90s fashion trend is grunge, mostly due to the collection at Saint Laurent. For a grunge style, the key is to look like your outfi t was assembled from thrift store fi nds. Flannel shirts, oversized sweat-ers, babydoll dresses, patterned tights, and jean jackets and vests were the essence of this subculture’s fashion.

For silhouettes, both menswear-inspired and feminine 1940s shapes are on trend. The two were perfectly encapsulated in Dries Van Noten’s show. Slouchy, oversized contours were mixed with feathered textures and brocade pieces. The 1940s style was seen at in at a multi-tude of shows, such

as Prada, Rochas and Lanvin. Characterized by nipped-in waists and full skirts, the refi ned ladylike look would fi t right into Hitchcock’s fi lm noirs. For menswear, the idea is to look like you bor-rowed a coat or blazer from your boyfriend’s wardrobe. Try over-sized single- or double-breasted topcoats. For a more fi gure fl attering approach, buckle a belt over the waist of the coat. Menswear-inspired style was spotted at Stella Mc-Cartney, 3.1 Phillip Lim and Chloe.

Another way to try out the menswear trend is through fab-rics. Pinstripes, herring-bone, houndstooth, tweed, argyle and Glen plaid are easy to incorporate into a fall wardrobe. Ease into it by adding a patterned piece to an otherwise neutral ensemble. For the bold, try wearing head to toe patterns. The key is to anchor

the look by picking pieces from the same colour family.

Always popular for fall and winter is fur. Whether real or faux, fur pieces were all over the runways from accessories to dresses. Fendi even incorpo-rated the texture into the models’ hair for a furry mo-hawk. A range of fur were seen at the fall shows, from colourful dyed fur seen at Lanvin and Versace, to classic fur stoles shown at Marc Jacobs.

For colours, both warm and cool tones ran rampant in the fall collections. Reds and pinks were popular for warmer hues while blues and greys ruled the cool shades. Even Valentino strayed from his signature red, aside from a few pieces, and focused on blue dresses. Over at Dolce & Gabbana, red gowns made a dramatic fi nale at their show. Cotton candy pink dresses and coats were refreshing amidst the dark ensembles at Sim-one Rocha. If you want to splurge on a trendy item for the fall, make it an oversized yet struc-tured coat in a tone of red or blue. It’ll be perfect for layering over a chunky sweater.

Fall accesso-ries also follow the masculine and feminine trend. Menswear-inspired fl ats such as oxford shoes and loafers are popular this season. For a girlier touch, there’s ankle-strap

heels, stacked pumps and over-the-knee boots. As for bags anything goes in terms of size, from small clutches to big portfo-lio bags and slouchy purses.

Whether your usual style leans more towards ladylike, mens-wear-inspired or punk, there’s a fall trend that

will complement and update your exist-

ing wardrobe. So layer up and have fun with fashion!

by Don FennellSports Editor

Bill Haddow fi gured he’d get a good read on his team after the Hugh Boyd Trojans hosted the Bal-lenas Whalers last Friday in Richmond. Save for the fi nal score, he was happy with what he saw.

In their 2013 home

opener, the Trojans domi-nated just about every facet of the B.C. AA high school football exhibition game but gave up two big plays that both resulted in touchdowns and a 14-7 loss.

“I think the kids played really hard and well enough to win the game if not for a few mistakes,” said Haddow. “But it’s football. It always comes down to a few plays and you have to make the plays when they’re there.”

Against Ballenas, the Trojans showed they’ve got the talent and desire to play with the upper-echalon teams. But equal-ly clear is there are more than a few wrinkles to iron out.

“(Ballenas) had a big kick return and another punt return and that was refl ec-tive of our special teams being out of sorts all night,” said Haddow. “But I

think those are things that can be corrected.”

The Trojans will use the remainder of the exhibi-tion schedule—this com-ing Friday they’ll host Abbotsford’s Rick Hansen Hurricanes under the lights at 7 p.m. at Hugh Boyd Park and will play Notre Dame Jugglers at Burnaby Lakes sports complex on Sept. 20—continuing to fi ne tune.

“We’re still trying to fi t all the pieces together,” said Haddow. “But this a group of experienced football players and we have depth where guys can play diff erent positions.”

Trojans dominate, except on scoreboardThunder silence Chaos, 1-0, in women’s soccer opener

Richmond Chaos didn’t quite get the result they were hoping for in their inaugural game in the Metro Women’s Soccer League Second Division Sunday, losing 1-0 to Guildford Thunder.

Thunder converted a well-placed corner kick early for the only goal of the match, which was well played.

Erin Lee’s penalty kick from inside the 18 yard box nar-rowly missed tying the game. Joined at midfi eld by re-turning player Alexis Ford and newcomers Briana Ho and Jasmine Mann, the combination controlled much of the centre of the pitch.

From Page 12Even with 11 rookies on

this year’s roster, the 2013-14 Pacifi c Junior Hockey League season should be no exception.

“I expect we’ll be com-petitive as usual,” said Petrowsky, whose knack for recruiting talent was challenged this past off -season after the Sockeyes lost—to graduation or a higher level of hockey—all but seven members of last season’s Keystone Cup Canadian Junior B cham-pionship team. Yet he was, again, able to land some pretty fi sh from the pros-pect pond.

“It was recruit, recruit, re-cruit,” said Petrowsky. “But the kids invited to camp responded real quick and basically everyone we invited made the team. We’ve got a great scholar-ship program which is a huge selling feature, plus it’s just a lot easier when you’ve got a good reputa-tion (like the Sockeyes, for treating players well and helping them progress to the next level).”

Even in a 4-1 exhibition loss to Grandview Steelers Saturday at Minoru Are-nas—the fi rst taste of ju-nior action for many—the young Sockeyes skated well and demonstrated good instincts with the puck. The return of incum-bent 20-year-old Kootenay Alder, one of the league’s top goaltenders last sea-son, should add another layer of confi dence among the newcomers.

“Kootenay is going to be the backbone this year there’s no doubt about that,” laughed Petrowsky. “And a couple of veterans.”

Among the “veterans” is Richmond minor hockey product Adam Nishi, who will wear the “C” as cap-tain this season. It’s a well-deserved honour and one he’ll have no trouble han-dling, said Petrowsky.

Another local minor hockey product, Daniel Tait will look to build on 38 points in 42 games as a Sockeye a year ago. He should have plenty of help in the off ensive category, however, with many of the rookies known for putting the puck in the net. Among them are Jacob Wozney, 17, who scored 30 points for the Greater Vancouver Canadians in the B.C. Major Midget league last season and Cole Plotnikoff , 16, who netted 25 points as a member of the Valley West Hawks, drawing the atten-tion of the Lethbridge Hur-ricanes which selected him in the second round of the Western Hockey League Bantam Draft.

Mac Colasimone is an-other exciting prospect who joined the Sockeyes this season via Sarnia, Ont.

“He a little guy who played at a very competi-tive level of Midget last year. He defi nitely has the speed and will go through a wall for you,” Petrowsky said of Colasimone, whose family moved to the Lower Mainland after his dad was transferred for work.

Ayden MacDonald also promises to be a crowd favourite. While he resides in Langley, he has a large extended family with Rich-mond roots.

“He could potentially

have 50 of his own fans every night,” laughed Petrowsky.

Judd Lambert, himself a graduate of the Sockeyes and who in 1992 back-stopped them to a pro-vincial Cyclone Taylor Cup championship, is back as head coach after a year’s absence. In fi ve previous seasons at the helm, Lam-bert, a 1993 draft pick of the NHL New Jersey Dev-ils and a college star at Colorado College, guided Richmond to a 181-37-16 regular-season record and a 42-12-5 playoff record. He also guided the 2008-09 Sockeyes to the Cyclone

Taylor and Keystone cups.“Judd and me have a

good working relation-ship,” Petrowsky said. “He knows he just has to show up and coach and not worry about all the paper work.”

Lambert back to guide Sockeyes’ fortunes

After a year’s hiatus, Judd Lambert returns to the Rich-mond Sockeyes’ bench for the 2013-14 season.

GERALD V. MILLERNovember 26, 1928-August 31, 2013

After months of failing health, Gerry died peacefully on Aug. 31st. Born and raised in Steveston, he was a true child of the Fraser. He was very well known and respected in the Japanese and Native com-munities and in the fi shing in-dustry. He traveled the coast extensively as a fi sherman, mechanic, and boat engineer, retiring as Fleet Manager from BC Packers in 1990. He is greatly missed by his wife of 60 years, Rosemary, and their children, Ken, Kathy (Matt), and Frances. He was a proud grandfather to Kyle (Alysia), Carmen (Dylan), Adam, Evan, Isaac, and Eva, and great grandfather to Kinslea, Blaise, and Rowan. He was prede-ceased by his mother, Myrtle, and granddaughter, Nadine. His last months were truly made easier thanks to the lov-ing care from the staff at Kin Village Care Home. We invite you to share memories of Ger-ry at Britannia Shipyard where he was a founding member (Chinese Bunk House, 5180 Westwater Dr., Steveston) on Saturday, September 14th at 2:00 PM. In lieu of fl owers, donations to OWL Wildlife So-ciety (Delta) in Gerry’s name will be appreciated.

Raise-it-4-Ryp Golf Tournament at Mayfair Lakes Golf and Country Club

Over 100 golfers teed up to raise

money for mental health initiatives at the second annual Raise-it-4-Ryp Golf Tournament at Mayfair Lakes Golf and Country Club, Sept. 3.

The fundraiser, which raised well over $25,000 for the Rick Rypien Foundation, Canucks Autism Network and other mental health initiatives, was held in memory of former Vancouver Canuck Rick Rypien, who passed away in 2011.

“The main goal is to

carry on the legacy of Rick and to always remember him...he wanted to get people to open up and talk about what they were going through,” said Travis Britton, co-organizer of the event.

“Talking about it really does help,” he said.

The tournament aims to help those struggling with mental illness in the hope of saving oth-ers from the same fate as Rypien.

Following a round of golf, participants toasted to the former Canuck, enjoyed dinner and bid on silent and live auction items.

“It’s a pretty special day, I only see it grow-ing,” Britton said.

The event organizers decided to make the fundraiser an annual affair after the success of last year’s tournament.

“It means a lot, it means people care,” Britton said. “Rick touched a lot of lives.”

Amanda Oye cov-ers the social scene for The Review. She may be reached at amanda.oye@telus.net.

A controversial ban on hauling garbage out of Met-ro Vancouver has been shot down by regional district di-rectors, at least for now.

The proposed waste fl ow control bylaw—denounced by some critics as a way to pen up gar-bage in the region to feed a new in-cinerator—aimed to keep waste from going to an Abbotsford trans-fer station or other out-of-region land-fi lls where tipping fees are far lower and Metro bans on dumping recyclables don't apply.

The 6-5 vote Thursday by Metro's zero waste commit-tee doesn't kill the idea, the subject of a year of debate and dozens of delegations, but sends it to a task force for more work and improve-ment.

"It's incumbent on us to make it as perfect as it can possibly be," Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters said.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, chair of the commit-tee, voted to press on with the bylaw, which already had two readings, saying it was good enough, if imperfect.

But it was defeated. The task force is to report back by December on improve-ments, setting the stage for a revised bylaw to resurface.

Metro planners had warned a trickle of waste

now being trucked out of region threatens to turn into a fl ood, bleeding the re-gional district of tipping fee revenue that underpins the entire garbage and recycling system.

The decision came after several waste and recycling industry reps spoke against

the bylaw, as well as B.C. Chamber of Commerce presi-dent John Winter, who said a "Metro monopoly" on gar-bage disposal would mean higher costs for businesses and thwart unfettered free enterprise.

Waste hauler BFI, which trucks gar-

bage from Metro businesses to Abbotsford, was one of the staunchest opponents of the bylaw.

Even more loudly opposed was Northwest Waste So-lutions, a fi rm building a $30-million mixed-waste material recovery facility (MRF) in south Vancouver to pull recyclables from gar-bage.

The bylaw was originally to ban so-called "dirty" MRFs that sort garbage, but, under pressure from Northwest, Metro retooled the bylaw to allow them.

Planners built in tight re-strictions to guard against the potential downside—backsliding on conventional recycling, where people do the sorting prior to collec-tion, not machinery at a plant.
