The first 11 days of November tend to beconsumed with all things Remembrance

here at the Richmond News.Once the Halloween features are but a

ghost of the past, and we’ve wrapped up thespooky season with a show of some particu-larly gruesome/clever costumes, we’re on tothinking of how best to mark RemembranceDay.

In today’s paper, you’ll read a movingfeature about a group of high school stu-dents who went to Normandy to track downthe grave of a Richmond soldier, only a fewyears older than themselves when killed.Our Flashback Friday features a story abouta Richmond soldier who fought in the FirstWorld War. As well, we have interviews withthis year’s Silver Cross mother and HonouredVeteran. On the actual day, Wednesday, weare running a powerful letter from a youngsoldier to his mother written in 1944, sharedwith us by his granddaughter.

I don’t question the need to dedicate thistime and energy, not to mention editorialspace, to honouring our past. In fact, it’s a ...well, pleasure isn’t the right word, but it’s richwith meaning as it affords time to stop andcontemplate a dramatic time in our history.It takes me out of myself as I reflect on thereality of cold, scared soldiers in the trenches,bombed-out civilians, orphaned children, aswell as moments of humanity and heroism.

I also think of the political and economicfactors that gave rise to such momentous anddisastrous events and the mindset that con-tributed to it — which brings me to the issueof wearing a poppy.

There has been a string of media reportsabout certain celebrities being lambasted forrefusing to wear poppies in public. Hardly acelebrity, but I, too, feel a certain pressure todon the red symbol. Thankfully, I’m happy todo it as it helps me feel connected to a largerhistoric narrative. It evokes a sense of awe forwhat others have gone through and continueto go through as war continues to rage incertain parts of the world.

That said, I certainly respect others’ choiceto not wear a poppy. For them, it may be seenas a glorification of war, an endorsement ofa military response to political situations, acelebration of nationalism.

And they have a point.The poppy emerged as a commemora-

tive symbol after the First World War — awar that, it can be argued, was more aboutdefending king and country than freedomand democracy. However, if we are going toview the poppy today as a symbol of liberationand free thought, then insisting on conformityseems ironic to say the least. In fact, if we aimto respect our vets, the last thing we shoulddo is simplify the complex factors that lead towar and stifle critical thinking that challengesthe symbol of the poppy.

Respect a vet,debate thewar

THEROADRULESwww.roadrules.ca

A t 3 am on Sunday, November 1st, onempty streets lit intermittently by thestylish signage and window displaysalong South Granville, a motor vehicle

accident propelled the rear end of an ambulancethrough the glass corner of the Plum clothingstore on the northwest corner of Granville Streetand West 12th Avenue, and almost the wholefront of a white stretch limousine in who-knows-how-many directions.

Hours later the Granville blocks straddling thecrash site were still closed off, barricaded bypolice cars and yellow tape and all the usualmarkers of a horror on the road. And the fewcurious passers-by were no doubt haunted bythe quiet of it all as the police methodicallywent about the business of photographingand measuring the aftermath in an effort toreconstruct the chain of events that lead to thismacabre and weird result.

Fortunately there were no passengers in thelimousine and the ambulance was on the wayto a call. At the time of writing it is not knownwhether or not the ambulance was travelling withits flashers and siren activated. Media reports saythe limousine driver and the paramedics weretaken to hospital for minor injuries and check-ups respectively.

So the tragedy of serious injury or fatality wasavoided, thanks in part no doubt to the sizeof the vehicles involved and, presumably, themoderate, urban-limit speeds at which bothwere traveling. This comment may be subject tocorrection as more information emerges.

The initial speculation is that the limousinetraveling north-bound on Granville Street‘T-boned’ the ambulance traveling westboundon 12th Avenue through the intersection, at leastaccording to an unnamed witness. The criticalissue will be the colour of the traffic controlsignal lights for each vehicle.

The force of the impact presumably to the leftback half of the ambulance spiralled it arounddriving the right back corner through thelarge glass windows of the heritage buildingon the corner. The force of the impact alsospiralled around the limousine. The extent ofthe damage to the building structure seems tohave been minimal, according to an assessmentby Vancouver firefighters—façade-only damage.

So what with the empty streets and stores andthe passenger-less vehicles, the outcome wasrelatively, and fortunately, unserious in termsof human suffering, leaving an opening for themedia to have some fun with the cartoonishaspects: “only the mannequins were injured”;“not the sort of door-crasher the [store] …hadin mind, when staff hung a large sale sign in thefront window” etc.

Nevertheless it remains oddly disturbing thatthe narrow avoidance of out-and-out disasterby two vehicles operated by professional driverson reasonably well-lit, traffic-less streets shouldbe cause for anything but thankful reflection.And certainly there should be no lessening ofeffort to find out what caused such a seriousmiscalculation or substandard driving by aspecially qualified driver.

All crashes are ‘object lessons’. T-bone intersectioncrashes are common, often resulting in fatalityor serious injury. The cause of this particularexample will be explained after the investigationis complete, unless there are no reliableindependent witnesses, no other independentevidence – engineering or otherwise – and thedrivers both claim to have had a green or amberlight on entry into the intersection.

LETTERSto theEditor

Dear Editor,Re: “Inspector Recycle to

be hired by city,” News, Oct.28.

“Hallelujah! It’s abouttime,” I thought as I read theNews’ story about the cityhiring an inspector to curbdemolition waste.

Hopefully, I raced throughthe article, only to come to ascreeching halt…. “a $250non-refundable fee ...” (Isthat a typo?) “... and $2 persquare-foot of demolishedfloor space that will berefunded if builder meets the70 per cent threshold.”

This bylaw, “a compromisewith builders,” will pay forone new inspector.

The hallelujah went from acrescendo to a diminuendoas I thought about the en-forcement, or lack of enforce-ment, of the tree bylaw.

Reuse, reduce, recycle,sustainable, reduced eco-logical footprint… all emptywords unless they serve asimpetus to leap into action.And this is a small leap.

There seems to be nothingwith any teeth to slow thistsunami of waste. Better latethan never and better a smallleap than none at all, I paci-fied myself.

Is the refundable $5,000fee (for an average 2,500square-foot house) going tobe incentive enough when at

the other end the developer/builder considers mechanicaldemolition costs, low landfillfees and more time andlabour costs. Perhaps coordi-nation with increased landfilldumping fees and dumpingrestrictions should be part ofthe solution.

If we must destroy everystanding house, ageing ornot, at the very least councilacknowledged that some-thing must be done aboutdemolition waste and the cityhas now taken a step thatcan be perceived as some-thing is being done (at leaston paper).

Dear Editor,We all wear poppies on

Nov. 11 to commemorate theend of the “War to End allWars.” What a joke!

Meanwhile, in just the pastyear, Canadian fighter planeswere dispatched to kill andbe killed, while our formerprime minister was doing hisbest to convince us of im-minent terrorist attacks.

Every Nov. 11, we listento funeral music and laywreaths at the Tomb ofthe Unknown Soldier. Hewasn’t really unknown, hewas a brother, son, fatheror husband to people wholoved him. We also solemnlylay wreaths on the steps ofcenotaphs.

The old veterans of onewar or another (you choose)

march with haunted eyes andmemories they can’t forget.But by Nov. 12, the poppiesare trampled underfoot andthe “War to End all Wars” isforgotten for another year.

The munitions makers aredoing a booming businessin readiness for the nextconflict.

Dear Editor,It has recently come to my attention the course Hu-

manities 11 will be cancelled.As a student who has been anticipating this course,

I am worried that the consequences of this decisionwill be detrimental, not only to my education, but toeducation as a whole.

You may be aware the Humanities 11 course is com-prised of the units for the world wars, as well as worldgovernment and Canadian politics.

The ministry of education is splitting these units intospecific courses, but are completely disposing of thegovernmental unit.

As one of numerous students who took part in thestudent vote this year, I became interested in how ourgovernment and politics work, and now the course inwhich I would be learning this content will no longerbe available.

I’d very much like to know why the ministry is can-celling a course that teaches us how our country worksand how to make valuable decisions for our nation inthe future.

As aforementioned, Humanities 11 also teaches usabout the world wars, but now all of that content willbe shifted down to the younger grades and, frankly,their minds will not be mature or developed enough tomanage that type of sombre content.

With the addition of content from higher grades,coupled with the current material they already have,there is simply too much information to truly go intoany depth.

I feel this change will diminish the education of stu-dents rather than improve it.

So, why on Earth would the ministry make (in myopinion) this kind of senseless decision?

Isidora ChanRichmond

Dear Editor,While I applaud Allison

Carver for her recent letter tothe Richmond News, (Youthyearns for voting change,Letters Oct. 30) I mustfundamentally oppose thepoorly thought out idea tolower the voting age.

Only 10 years ago I wasnearly the same age as MissCarver, an eager studentwho followed political andworld affairs with great inter-est. Much like her, I knewof many adults who couldn’tcare less. Likewise, I alsoknew of many peers whowere uninterested by thesubject and found it ratherdull.

I was fortunate to have anetwork of other like-mindedgrade school students,where the subject regard-ing the voting age wouldcome up, and I consistentlyfound myself opposed tolowering it. I support theStudent Vote process thatElections Canada carries outat schools across the nation.It instills the significance ofour democratic freedom tovote and is educational interms of the process. Yet,it is important to realizethat we should not, “take

advantage of how teenagersalready have their beliefs…”because at such an agesuch thoughts and opinionsare fluid. I strongly contestMiss Carver’s notion thatwhen a child transitions intoadulthood, “they alreadyhave their beliefs set intoplace.” The point of educa-tion and critical thinking isso that we can challengeall beliefs, opinions, andstatements. As we age, wewill learn through knowl-edge and experience, wewill question and adapt ourthinking based on numerousfactors.

I was idealistic as a youth;I’d like to think I still am.Nevertheless, I’ve realizedthat some notions I onceheld are not feasible. Thereis always a trade off andprice to pay for every deci-sion and as we grow we tryto evaluate what is best foroneself, family, friends, andthe communities where welive.

Upon turning 18, manyyoung adults are going touniversity, or finding work,and leaving behind thecomfort and shelter of theirparents and family. It mighttake some time to figure

out what works for eachperson separately, but theseexperiences will certainlychallenge our perceptionsand beliefs. Voting is nolight matter, it is importantto prepare young Canadiansso they are ready to exercisethis duty when they becomea legal adult.

Furthermore, I would ad-vise against using Brazil andCuba as ideal examples tofollow. Cuba remains a com-munist dictatorship ruled bythe Castro brothers.

Presently, protests havebeen occurring throughoutthe year all across Brazil inopposition to the corrup-tion of the current Rousseffgovernment. The voting agein those countries might belower, but it does nothingto inspire confidence in thedemocratic processes ofeither systems.

Sheldon StarrettRichmond

Dear Editor,I’m not sure why a few of

the legion patrons, includ-ing myself, a senior citizen,were left stranded on Hal-loween night.

We had called for a cab afew hours ahead and nonecame.

Plus, we did not receivea call back stating thatthey were too busy or thereweren’t enough cabs.

This is not the first time Ihave been left stranded inthe evening without taxi ser-vice. I also realized that mymany rides in the Stevestonarea are short trips for thecabs, which they avoid asmuch as possible.

My concern is when willthis change? It is not ac-ceptable to live in a thrivingcity that does not protectus and give us proper cabservice.

‘Pointless’ idea for pier at the parkDear Editor,Re: “Pier pressure at Garry Pt.,” News, Oct.

30. A Pier at the Point? Of all the things I’veread in this paper that made me mad enoughto want to write a letter, this insanity beingpursued by Coun. Bill McNulty is what finallydid it.

He seems intent that what Garry Point reallyneeds is a giant pier, to go along with thegiant pilings that have already done much todestroy one of the only ocean views left in theregion. So many of us enjoy that beach on adaily basis.

We go there to enjoy the feel of the sun andwind on our faces, to hear our own thoughts,and to see the waves on the beach.

I suspect I’m not the only one who believesthat nature is the ultimate designer, and whodo not want to see Garry Point Park ruined bythe installation of what will surely be a gianteyesore.

Why is this city so intent on ruining every-thing that made this place so charming and

so naturally stunning?Why does council continuously support

rampant development of generic retail shops,concrete wastelands and tacky monster“homes” that don’t appear to actually containany life forms? It seems obvious to me thatI and those of us citizens who feel the sameway and who actually pay taxes and supportthe local economy year round are clearly notas important to this council as tourists whoare likely only here for a day.

I moved here from Kitsilano years ago whenthat place changed from a charming andquirky spot to a hectic generic chain storeghetto, and now Steveston is fast followingthat same pattern of destruction.

Perhaps Mr. McNulty and others who sharethis “improvements” affliction might benefitfrom spending some quiet, alone time sittingon the beach at Garry Point, while they stillcan.

Sharon MooreRichmond

Indoor market a better choiceDear Editor,I personally think an indoor, community

market would be a better option for Stevestonthan an Urban Fare-type grocery store. Thereare several reasons for that.

A market can become a place for inexpen-sive and healthy food choices. This couldattract younger people to Steveston, sincemany high school students go to Steveston tobuy lunches.

A market usually offers healthier foodchoices than a supermarket, which carries

commercially packaged foods, while marketfoods are local and fresh. It could also bringmore tourists. Other places in Vancouver thathave community markets, such as GranvilleIsland and Lonsdale Quay, are big touristattractions.

Of course, the best option for Stevestonwould be the one chosen by the community,and for that a more detailed research will beneeded.

The Art and Advantages of Cosmetic Precision Dentures:

It’s that time of the year again — leaves fall-ing off the trees, Christmas ads filtering onto

TV and the theatre of a Steveston BIA forma-tion stirring the audience of an otherwiseharmonious, seaside village.

The cast that makes up the Business Im-provement Area (BIA) production is rehears-ing for its biennial push for, and resistance to,a formal body, which would advocate for localmerchants, courtesy of amandatory levy.

On the “yes” side of theBIA stage, the volunteer-run Steveston MerchantsAssociaiton (SMA) claimsthe village is crying outfor a formal associationthat would pool marketingpower, boost consumerismand be nothing but positivefor the community as awhole.

On the “no” side of the stage are proprietorsvehemently opposed to the move, insistingthe bid will only serve a small, select groupand that many village business owners can’tstomach the levy (based on property tax) thata new BIA would charge through the City ofRichmond.

The “no” camp also claim a petitionlaunched two years ago — which indicatesabout 120 of 200 local businesses wereagainst a BIA — is reason enough to trash theidea for all time.

More than two weeks ago, however, a pre-sentation was made to Richmond City Councilby the 44-member SMA about its intention to,once again, try to form a Steveston BIA.

“This is step one of about 10; this is notus asking council for approval for anythingyet,” said Jim van der Tas, owner of the BlueCanoe restaurant and SMA president.

“This is the first part of the outreach, whichwill last for about four to six months andwhich will involve us answering lots of ques-tions about the benefits of a BIA and aboutwhy we’re doing this.”

However, several Steveston merchants arenot convinced of the SMA’s apparent goodintentions. Those include Dominique Jarry,

who owns Sugar Art, Rick Germain, who ownsOriginal Pure Water Shoppe, and Jerry Biggar,who owns Steveston Landing, which houses12 businesses, including Shady Island andSockeye City restaurants and Pierhouse Deli.

“If you want to be a member of TourismRichmond and the Richmond Chamber ofCommerce, then you have a choice whetheryou want to join or not,” said Biggar.

“Shady Island is a member of Tourism Van-couver because that makes good businesssense for us. This (process) is not democratic;not for small businesses who work on a day-to-day basis with small margins. They should

have the option to join ornot join.”

Richard Vetter, an SMAmember and financial

planner who runs theWealthSmart FinancialGroup on Chatham Street,made the presentation tocity council Oct. 19.

“These people work theirtails off and they’re tired,”said Vetter, referring to the

volunteers who keep the SMA running.Vetter told city council that unanimous

support for a BIA in Steveston is improbable;however, “a robust outreach campaign thatexplains, in detail, the anticipated benefits ofa BIA can assist in increasing support.”

The proposed BIA boundary, said Vetter, isexpected to be properties within the immedi-ate Steveston Village area.

Vetter admitted to council that not all busi-nesses within a BIA benefit to the same ex-tent; however, a “vibrant business community,in general, would reverberate to all businesseswithin the area,” he noted.

Before considering the matter further, citycouncil asked Vetter to provide more informa-tion on the activities and success of otherBIAs in the Lower Mainland.

Richmond is believed to be the only cityin Metro Vancouver that doesn’t have a BIA,many of which are specific to a neighbour-hood or shopping district.

Asked by the News about the level of oppo-sition to a Steveston BIA, Vetter said he didn’tthink the naysayers were a particularly largegroup, but they are “certainly vocal” and have“been handing out misinformation.

“But, I tell you, if a BIA was formed, it would

be great to get these same people involvedand have them keep the BIA accountable.”

Before council can allow the SMA to hold avote for a BIA to be formed, the SMA must

conduct proper outreach, which means meet-ings, big and small, one to ones etc.

Once satisfied, council can give the SMAthe go-ahead to call a formal meeting, invitethe local business community and hold a voteon the issue, with each property owner gettingone vote.

However, it’s a vote that shouldn’t evenbe entertained, according to Jarry, who hasowned Sugar Art on First Avenue for 15 years.

“Two years ago, the majority of the mer-chants in Steveston, 120 or so out of about200, signed a petition saying no to this,” saidJarry.

“They still don’t have the support of themerchants, so they go around us and straightto city council. That’s what it looks like to me.”

Like many in the “no” camp, Jarry feels thedesire for a BIA has been triggered by a smallgroup who “do not represent the village.”

“The SMA membership is very, very lowand the (BIA) levy would be passed downto the tenants and most of them are smallbusinesses; they don’t like the thought of amandatory levy for something they don’t wantin the first place. Many don’t feel they wouldbenefit from a BIA.”

Germain, owner of the Original Pure WaterShoppe on Chatham Street, said it comesdown to the idea of people doing somethingof their own volition.

“This is a cabal of merchants who perceivea variety of benefits from the formation of aBIA. And I’ve no doubt it might be good forthem, but not for all of us, including me andmany others,” said Germain.

Van der Tas said the misinformation aboutwhat a BIA levy is used for, and who is

going to benefit, is a challenge.“Everything is above board, budgeted,

transparent and won’t cost thousands andthousands of dollars each,” he said.

“Something say the size of the Original Sau-sage Haus would likely pay around $240 peryear; which is not an onerous number.”

Responding to the accusation that he’s partof a small group pushing their own interestson the village, van der Tas cited the formerDunbar Business Association in Vancouver,which many years ago scraped through a voteto form a BIA by a tiny margin.

“After five years, they’re duty-bound to haveanother vote; around 90 per cent said yesrecently,” he said.

“(A BIA’s) sole purpose is take a businesscommercial district and attract more custom-ers, bring the community together and sup-port the businesses that are in the area.”

This is a cabal of merchantswho perceive a varietyof benefits ... and I’ve nodoubt it will be good forthem, but not for all of us.– R G

To BIA or not to BIA?

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

When is someone a spouse?In any relationship, it is unpredictable whether the people will make Wills. If they do, the surviving spousewill need to know whether assets are bequeathed to them, especially the home in which the couple lived.

Can the surviving spouse stay in it? Often, the surviving spouse will have to consider varying the Will,because they are either disinherited or left an inadequate part of the Estate.

Last month, reasons were released in the case Neufeld v. Dafoe, in which the surviving “spouse” (Plaintiff)needed to get a Court Order that she was indeed a “spouse”, so that she could seek to vary the deceasedspouse’s Will. (Remember, in B.C., only children and spouses of the deceased can try to vary the Will.)

The Plaintiff succeeded in proving she was a spouse. She lived under the same roof, the relationship wassexual and the Plaintiff became a caregiver after the deceased was diagnosed with cancer. In the eyes of theCourt, they had a spousal relationship.

Thus the Plaintiff sought to vary the Will, and the Court granted her a 37% share of the Estate. Of course, anEstate plan would have been preferable, but at least the Plaintiff got a seemingly just result.

Richmond RCMP may bethe first police force in

Canada to have recovered astolen Tesla electric vehiclewith the help of the car’smobile satellite application.

“It was very unique thatsomeone was able to pro-vide real-time telemetry, andit was very accurate,” saidCpl. Dennis Hwang of theRichmond RCMP.

The car had been reportedstolen by Katerina Pinkows-ki, who had been at a con-cert the night of Oct. 29.

“Coming back from aconcert last night I didn’tfind my Tesla in the parkinglot. It’s a good thing Teslahas an app where you canfind an exact location of thecar. I found out that it wascomfortably driving 70km/hsomewhere in Richmond.The car was stolen!” com-mented Pinkowski viaFacebook.

Hwang said at around10:30 p.m. RCMP got thecall from the dispatcher whowas speaking to Pinkowskiduring the incident.

“The car was beingmonitored by its owner and

allegedly driving towardRichmond,” said Hwang.

“The Tesla was in down-town Richmond and movingnorth on No. 3 Road towardRiver Road, then easttoward No. 5 Road,” saidHwang.

RCMP mobilized theK9-unit undercover vehicleand cruisers were stationedalong River Road ready todeploy road spikes.

Hwang said because ofthe accuracy of the car’sGPS, Pinkowski led policeright to 24-year-old HowardGeddes Skelding, who wasstopped in the vehicle by theK9 vehicle.

“There was an element of

surprise (in the arrest),” saidHwang.

Skelding, known to police,according to Hwang, hassince been charged withpossession of stolen prop-erty over $5,000.

Air One was ready but notrequired in the pursuit, “sothat’s a plus,” said Hwang.

Pinkowski told The Prov-ince newspaper the thiefgained access to the vehicleand found an extra key fobto start the engine.

“It was so much fun,actually. …I could tell the911 operator was excited ...they’d never had this before,where they could actuallytrack the car.”

Richmond RCMP are on the huntfor a group of purse-snatchers

they believe are targeting youngAsian women.

Police have responded to twoseparate purse thefts during the lastthree days, on Nov. 2 and 3.

“The thefts occurred between thehours of 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. in thedowntown corridor of Richmond,”said Cpl. Dennis Hwang.

“The victims are Asian women intheir 20s who were walking alone.The suspects allegedly approachedtheir victims from behind and

grabbed their purses before fleeingon foot.

“One of the victims was dragged ashort distance before she was ableto release her purse. Luckily, the vic-tims were not seriously injured. Weare lead to believe that both theftsare connected and that multiplesuspects are involved.”

At least two of the suspects aredescribed as Caucasian males intheir twenties.

“Investigators from our SeriousCrime Unit have taken custody ofthese cases,” added Hwang.

“Our investigators are canvassinga wide area for additional evidenceincluding surveillance footage.

“We are coordinating with ourfellow law enforcement agencies toshare intelligence.”

Police have enhanced patrols inthe downtown core from and areasking the public for additionalinformation on these crimes to comeforward.

If you have any information onthis crime, contact Const. Shin at604-278-1212. To leave a tip, [email protected].

Richmond residents willsee little noticeable

difference in their net utilityrates for 2016.

“Overall, the rate in-creases are fairly modest,and in many cases efficien-cies have helped reduce orhold the line on costs. Andyet we’ve still been able tomake some major serviceimprovements,” said Cityof Richmond spokespersonTed Townsend.

For instance, a single-family home on a watermeter will see just a $5.55increase on its $1,114annual bill. Townhouseresidents will save $10.

The utility bill pays forservices such as sewers,water delivery, garbagecollection, recycling, anddrainage and dyke mainte-nance.

Next year will mark thefirst time residents canchoose to save a few bucksby reducing their garbageproduction.

The city will soon be ask-ing residents of single-fam-ily homes, townhouses andsecondary suites what sizeof city-sanctioned garbagecan they want delivered totheir residence.

The standard size (single-family homes) is 240-litres,however to save $12.50,

residents can choose a120-litre bin. Going smaller,to 80-litres, saves $23. Onthe flip side, a 360-litre bincomes with a $90 sur-charge.

Rates are roughly 15 percent cheaper for town-houses.

“This provides anincentive for people toreduce their waste streamthrough recycling,” notedTownsend.

Once the new, green cansare delivered, the city willtransition to bi-weekly col-lection (costs are offset byorganic waste collection).

The city has applied anoverall tab of an additional$1 million in order to fundnecessary sewer repairsand upgrades while main-taining the rates at essen-tially the status quo.

Townsend said there hadbeen a funding gap in thatarea.

In 2016, close to halfof the 4,766 single-familyhomes paying a flat waterrate will transition to watermeters.

The city will collect utilitybills from 2,772 new resi-dences, bringing the totalto 74,537 dwellings.

Meanwhile, commercialunits only increased by100.

History of the poppyAlthough the focal point of Lieu-

tenant-Colonel John McCrae’s 1915poem In Flanders Fields, the poppy wasprevelant over the graves of soldiers asearly as the 19th century after the Na-poleonic Wars. The practice of wearinga poppy in Canada only became custom

in 1920, when an American teachermade a personal pledge, after readingthe poem, to always wear a poppy as asign of Remembrance. It was then, in1921, officially adopted by the GreatWar Veteran’s Association in Canada.

Nestled in a busy engine room about 60feet below the waterline of a 320-foot-

long, River-class destroyer, cruising the peril-ous waters of the North Atlantic during theSecond World War, Steveston’s Walter Taylorsaid he never really had time to be afraid.

Taylor, 89, was a stoker. His task was totend to his vessel’s massive boilers that sup-plied steam for the turbines.

“I never thought too much about what wenton topside,” said Taylor, this year’s honouredveteran for the Remembrance Day service inRichmond. “I knew there were dangers whilewe patrolled the waters as part of a convoy,looking for submarines. But I never thoughtabout us being sunk. It was more like the op-posite — we’d drop a bunch of depth chargesand let someone else worry about it.”

Taylor was just 17 when he left the familyfarm in Nelson and joined the Royal CanadianNavy, serving aboard three different destroy-ers — Iroquois, St. Laurent and Ottawa —during his three-year stint which involvedabout nine crossings of the North Atlantic,protecting cargo ships ferrying supplies forthe war effort.

“I guess I was looking for an adventure,”Taylor said, when asked why he decided tojoin up.

“Too young and fearless to know better,more like,” added his wife of 68 years, Jean.

Taylor’s father joined the army and served inthe First World War, then tried to sign up for

the Second World War, but was told he wastoo old for active service.

“They told him to go home,” Taylor said witha broad smile. “I had great respect for myfather. He taught me a lot.”

That was another reason why a young Taylorchose to serve. It’s something he is proud tolook back on and to share memories with hissons and grandchildren each Nov. 11.

“Being at the Armistice Day service — that’swhat I was used to calling it — sitting therewith my family makes me feel that muchcloser to them,” he said. “I know the efforts Imade during the war were for them, and it’snice that they are thinking of the sacrificesother people made, too.

“A lot of other people didn’t make it, and Isometimes wonder why I did.”

Much of the time Taylor was aboard adestroyer, he felt separated from the actionfrom up top, although he does recall on theodd occasion where he’d be on the deck andable to see ships in his convoy several milesaway — almost specks on the horizon.

“You’d see them and then sometimesthey were gone,” he said. “And when a shipalongside you goes down, it really gets yourattention that this was a very dangerous placeto be.”

Apart from helping make sure the ship hadpower on demand, Taylor remembers themuster station he had to man during emer-gencies.

He pointed to one of the black and whitephotographs on his den wall where all threedestroyers are featured, indicating the spotjust below the forward, main gun.

“That was my place. Ihad to man a rope thatpulled up the shells for thegun from down below,” hesaid. “They (shells) musthave been a few feet tall.And when they were fired,they made a tremendousnoise.

“That’s why I wear thesenow,” he added, puttinga finger to one of his earsand his hearing aid. “Still,I never remember beingbored, ever. There wasalways plenty to do.”

After the war, Taylor re-turned home and attendedUBC for two years beforegoing back to the Koo-tenays and joining WestKootenay Power and Light,where he worked for closeto 45 years, running powercontrol systems.

He met Jean shortly afterbeing demobbed when herbrother, a Canadian sailor,as well, introduced them.And together, they raisedfour sons.

“It’s been an enjoyablelife,” said Taylor, who alongwith Jean moved into the Maple Residenceabout 18 months ago. “I’ve done a lot andthere’s a lot to be proud of.”

On Remembrance Day, he will be part of

the dignitaries on the reviewing stand and willsalute those marching past, then later lay awreath at the cenotaph.

“It will be, as always, an important time toshow respect,” he said.

For ThemThemFor Them For NowNowFor Now ForeverForeverForeverForever

The spring season was just a few days oldwhen James Arthur Hayne walked into an

army recruiting office in New Westminster.Hayne, a 24-year-old Steveston fisherman,

was ready to serve Canada in the biggest fightthe fledgling country had ever faced.

Today, Hayne’s name is on the Richmondcenotaph — a memorial to Richmond’s fallensoldiers.

It was March 1916, and Hayne was oneof thousands of young men answering thecall for soldiers to fight in the First World Warbattlefields of Europe. Canadian troops hadalready been introduced to the horrors oftrench warfare in France and its dirt, diseaseand death, but Hayne was undeterred.

His signed attestation paper, on file atLibrary and Archives Canada, tells the story ofa fit, young man, who married less than twoyears earlier.

“Do you understand the nature and termsof your engagement?” the enlistment formasked. Hayne responded with neat penman-ship: “Yes.”

He joined the Canadian Expeditionary Forceand left for England on Nov. 1, 1916, leavinghis wife and two young children, Gordon andMary Frances, behind. Within a month, hewas in France.

By that time, the November rains hadturned battlefields into bogs. Allies hadalready suffered countless casualties in the

war of attrition against Germany, and anestimated 200,000 soldiers on both sideshad been killed.

Hayne reached the front lines on Dec. 19,1916, according to Bruce MacDonald, aretired high school teacher and researcher,

who is documenting war histories of veteransfrom Hayne’s birthplace in Nova Scotia.

“It wasn›t long before Arthur and hisinexperienced companions received theirfirst taste of life at the front. The battalion wardiary reported ‘considerable sniping [but]little shelling’ the day after their arrival in thetrenches,” noted MacDonald, whose bookFirst World War Honour Roll of GuysboroughCounty, Nova Scotia is due out this month.

Winter slowed the fighting, but a newoffensive began in the spring of 1917. OnMarch 31, Hayne was handpicked to join anight raid on German trenches. Allied soldiersfaced heavy fire throughout the half-hourattack. They retreated and began counting:seven dead, eight missing and 43 wounded— including Hayne.

The fisherman had been shot in the cheek.But the injury wasn’t serious and four dayslater Hayne returned to the battlefield. Thencame May 1, 1917. It was a quiet day forHayne’s battalion, according to MacDonald,except for one casualty recorded in a war di-ary: “790031 killed in action.”

“The 47th Battalion’s war diary offers noinsight into the circumstances of Pte. JamesArthur Hayne’s death. Perhaps he was avictim of the intermittent gunfire exchangedalong the front lines. He may have been shotby a German sniper,” noted MacDonald.

Hayne was among the more than 650,000Canadians who served in the four-year war— 66,000 were killed, including 28 fromRichmond, whose names are memorializedon the No. 3 Road cenotaph.

Little is known about these men, somethingthe late researcher Mary Keen sought tochange with her 1998 book We Will Remem-ber Them. The book is a tribute to Rich-mond’s fallen soldiers, men who deserve tobe remembered by more than their immedi-ate families, she wrote.

Each Nov. 11, the community indeed

remembers, but in her book, Keen wonderedhow many who gather at Remembrance Dayceremonies reflect on the lives behind thenames inscribed on the cenotaph.

“Some were heroes, a few saw an oppor-tunity to change their humdrum lives, manywere family men whose children would neverknow their father, but all had one fact in com-mon, they died for their country, Canada.”

Hayne was among the more than 650 000

Soldier No. 790031 ‘killed in action’REMEMBRANCEDay

MATTHOEKSTRAContributor


ot much isknown of

Private RobertSpratt Bowcock.From the fewarchived recordsthat exist, weknow he ap-peared to be likeany ordinary kidgrowing up inRichmond in the1930s.

Born in Trailin 1925, Bow-cock moved toRichmond atage six. His parentsoperated a small storeon No. 5 Road as heattended the schools of Mitchell elemen-tary and Richmond High. There, perhaps,he tossed pebbles into ditches, knockedmarbles against a fence and whistled whilehe walked to and from home.

An archived photo shows Bowcock ridingaround the town on his bicycle with a groupof friends. At the time, many of the adultmen in Richmond would have been formerFirst World War I veterans, having acquiredland on Lulu Island under the Soldier Settle-ment Act. Their memories of the war mayhave shaped Bowcock.

When the Second World War broke out,we know, from archived records, Bowcockhad attempted to enlist unsuccesfully in thearmy at age 16. So, for two years, he sat athis desk in Richmond High, pondering thenewspaper headlines that rushed across thecountry to the West Coast.

As the Nazis swept through most ofEurope, Bowcock finally got his chance at18 and soon after, he was sent to Englandwith the First Canadian Scottish Regimentaround March, 1944.

Bowcock’s grave can be found at theBeny-Sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery inFrance, between Juno Beach and the town

of Caen,an area ofNormandy inwhich Bow-cock likely died from Nazi fire.

It was July 8, 1944, when Bowcock diedat just 19 years of age. He was only a few

years older than the 43 Grade 9 and 10students from Steveston-London secondarywho visited his grave at Juno Beach lastmonth as part of an educational tour of Italyand France.

“He was probably nervous and scared forhis life, but knew (going to Europe) was theright thing to do,” said student Denise Choi,who has spent the better part of this schoolterm studying the war.

When Bowcock passed, it had been justmore than one month after the Allied shipslanded in Normandy, lowered their smallboats and gates and deployed roughly160,000 men to storm the Nazi’s AtlanticWall on D-Day, June 6, 1944.

Ten thousand casualties later, morethan one million more soldiers, includingBowcock, marched inward toward Paris andBelgium. The Allies had hoped to capturethe French town of Caen on D-Day but such

a feat took morethan a month. Ergo,it was the sacrificesof soldiers suchas Bowcock thatmade that famousamphibious landingon Normandy’sbeaches the suc-cess it has sincebecome known for.

Bowcock left be-hind a fiance, IreneWagner, as well ashis parents and abrother.

About one yearprior to his death,in May 1943, whiletraining in Vernon,a letter to a friendgrants us insightinto Bowcock’s life:

“Have you seen Irene lately? I sure wishthis damn war was over so her and I couldget married, but I guess there’s not much Ican do about it except help get itover with,” wrote Bowcock.

Anglophones, said Choi, “werepatriotic about their country —after all they came from Britainbecause Canada was a colony.”“They were eager to enlist in thewar and it was also a source ofemployment at the time,” notedChoi, as the Richmond News satdown with a group of students togather insight about their trip.

Because Bowcock was a pri-vate, he likely didn’t know muchabout what exactly he would eventually facein France, said Choi.

“He wasn’t a higher commanding officerso he would not have gotten the plansbeforehand because theydidn’t want to give sol-diers too many details incase the enemy intercept-

ed them. So it would kind of be like livingin the dark,” explained Choi, who noted itwas a long journey by train and boat fromCanada’s West Coast to Europe.

While the students had fun in Rome andParis, and learned first-hand about

modern European culture and society ontheir two-week whirlwind tour, a sober-ing moment came over all of them whenthey visited Normandy and set foot on thebeaches.

“Stepping onto the beach I expected tofeel very emotional because we were walk-ing on the same beach all these Canadiansoldiers died on, and sacrificed their liveson, and I definitely did feel super emotional.And I felt proud to be Canadian, knowingthese soldiers sacrificed their lives for us.That’s why we are here today,” said studentLeanne Lau.

Choi said it sent “chills down my spine.”At the time of their visit, the weather was

fair, with the blue skies matching the colourof the sea, as described by Choi. This wasin stark contrast to the weather on D-Day,

when a storm had justpassed through theregion days before(nearly delaying theinvasion and putting itin jeopardy).

Students were ableto walk along JunoBeach, feeling theunstable sand beneaththem, tasting the saltyair, hearing the wavescrash down on thesand and witness-

ing the seemingly insurmountable (nowdestroyed and eroded) bunkers that facedthe Allied soldiers 71 years ago.

" Steveston-London secondary students, below and right,visited the grave of a Richmond soldier and Juno Beach.


“It was good for us to see it. You readall about these wars and think ‘okay thathappened.’ But when we walked alongthe cemetery, there are rows and rowsof graves, and you think, ‘wow, all thesepeople died.’ It was good to see the physi-cal effects of the war and not just readabout it,” said student Mark Cam, whoread a poem, Our Boys, at the cemetery infront of the entire group.

The poem draws parallels between thestudents’ lives and that which Bowcockexperienced.

“It described all the ordinary eventsof what a child would do, but, becauseof what happened in the Second World,War, they weren’t able to do these thingsanymore. It’s kind of like their childhoodwas taken. We related it to students likeourselves who would have enlisted to go towar,” said Cam.

Classmate Josh Yang agreed.“It was very emotional knowing all these

people near to my age were actually at war.And to know they died for our country,”said Yang.

French teacher Marina Carter was one ofthe organizers of the trip.

Aside from setting foot on the beaches,

Carter said one of the more emotional mo-ments was when the students visited theJuno Beach Centre museum.

There, a screen scrolled through all theCanadian casualties of the war. It wouldtake a visitor 13.5 hours to see the listfrom start to finish.

“We sat there for a while and it was justthe Ws. To me that was a ‘whoa’ moment,it was very emotional,” said Carter.

Another moving moment came when thestudents visited the Ardenne Abbey — siteof the Ardenne Abbey Massacre — wherethe Nazis shot 20 Canadian soldiers in thebacks of their heads in June, 1944.

Following the massacre, French farm-ers discovered the bodies in their fields.The students visited the graves and paidrespect at a memorial outside the abbey.

“That was very touching for me, therewere a lot of tears. I found that place veryemotional. It was bone chilling to walkthrough and know these men were justshot and killed and buried,” said Carter.

The students took home newfoundknowledge of the war and were able tomake direct links to what they had learnedin school textbooks. Case in point, studentKathleen Kong noted the abbey massa-cre would have been against the Geneva

Conventions.At the museum, the students were able

to look at war artifacts, getting glimpses ofwhat life was like at the time.

The students also meandered throughNazi bunkers and learned about specificanti-Nazi tactics employed in the war.

“We visited one of their bunkers andlooked at the structure and saw how theydid it. We saw how the workers who madeit, who were forced into doing it, kind ofsabotaged it by making it a bit unstable,”said Yang.

As well, the students learned about thecontributions of women in the war.

“It was very busy for women at home —taking care of children, working in factorieswhile their husbands and soldiers were outat war,” noted Choi.

Of course, the most important aspect inthe visit toNormandyfor thesestudents,said Carter,was for themto not forgetwhat hap-pened andrememberthe mo-ments ofreflectionthey experi-ence.

NotedCam: “Ithink wecan takeaway howdevastatingor just howsad it is,what wecan cometo as a

race. There can be so much tension andhate. It’s a lesson for everyone that, eventhough these things have happened in thepast, it shouldn’t happen again. Even thewars going on now, people are trying to putan end to them,” he said.

Student Jessie Chan said if we do forgetwhat happened, it would be more likelysuch atrocities would repeat themselves.

“I think it could happen because thefuture is unpredictable. I know we’re livingin a real safe place right now, but thereare still wars going on and anything couldhappen,” said Chan.

All of the students said they were awareof what was happening in Syria.

In order to help prevent such crises fromhappening and/or escalating, Cam saidinternational cooperation is needed.

“It would probably come down to thenature of human

greed. Humanswant morepower, be it fi-nancially or justin general. Sothat’s somethingthat needs to beaddressed byworld parties,such as theUnited Nations,to take a standand put an endto that.”

" Steveston-London studentsat thememorial in France.

Rene Orris was just 17-years-old whenshe joined Britain’s Auxiliary Territo-

rial Service (ATS) during World War II. Shecrisscrossed the country catering and dis-tributing supplies for camps of men prepar-ing to cross the EnglishChannel for battle.

One of those men wouldbecome her husband. Asshe helped her countryat home, he stormedNormandy’s beaches onD-Day.

Upon his fortunatearrival back home, thecouple married and hadtwo children, but theynever spoke of detailsfrom the war in France.

“That was then and wesaid to ourselves it’s time to look forward,”said the 90-year-old from her apartment inRichmond.

Prior to serving in the the ATS, she sur-vived constant air raids in northwest Eng-land, all the while helping others in make-shift underground bunkers by volunteeringwith her helpful hands (serving coffee andtea under the supervision of an adult).

“We were bombed every night, it seemed.I had seen a whole row (of buildings) godown,” she said.

Orris, a member of the local Army NavyAir Force Veterans of Canada, was cho-sen by the Royal Canadian Legion to lay awreath at the Richmond cenotaph (locatedat Richmond city hall) on RemembranceDay as this year’s Silver Cross Mother, awoman who is chosen to represent motherswho have lost children in service.

Orris lost a brother in the Second WorldWar and her service to the Allied forces is

not lost on anyone whomeets her.

“It’s such a greathonour to be able to laythe wreath,” said Orris,who simply describedher loss as “terrible” atthe time, particularlysince the news came viaa telegraph stating herbrother was “missing inaction.”

Always an active mem-ber of her community,

both in Britain and in Canada, when askedwhat she did for a career Orris replied thatshe was a stay-at-home mother. It’s appar-ent family and friends are her first cause.

When the war ended, she raised twochildren while her husband went on towork at the port in Ipswich, as an operatorfor British Petroleum.

“We all thought it was a war to end allwars,” she said.

That was then and we saidto ourselves it’s time to lookforward.– R O

Life: Appreciation given emphasis

REMEMBRANCEDay

Iam reminiscing back to a wonderful holidayin England in 1992. After driving our rented

motorhome some 1,900 miles up one sideof England and down the other, we went tovisit my lifelong friend, Jill, and her husbandJohn, who lived in Uckfield, Sussex.

As the weather was fine, Jill suggestedwe take a trip to France. Both Jill and Johnknew of my interest in recent history and,in particular, the battles that took place inFrance during both World Wars. My father’syoungest brother, Maurice Chevrier Lalonde,was killed in France on April 6, 1916.

Although my dad had lived many years inEngland, I don’t recall him saying he hadever paid his respects at his beloved youngbrother’s grave in Rochlincourt, near Arras.I meant to correct that and visit his gravesiteto pay my respects.

John and Jill visit France frequently toshop, stock up their wine cellar and site-see.However, this trip was more for Joyce and Ito visit both new and historical places.

We began by driving to Folkstone, wherewe caught the hovercraft Princess Marga-ret to Boulogne. After a speedy, but noisy,25-minute ride on this monster machine,we drove out into the sunshine and onto theconcrete slipway at Boulogne. On the way toDieppe, we passed several pill-boxes, souve-nirs from the Second World War, overlookingthe roadway.

We stayed the first night in France at alovely sea-front hotel in Dieppe overlookingthe beach.

It was here that some 6,000, mostlyCanadian soldiers, attempted to carry outOperation Jubilee on Aug. 19, 1942. His-tory shows that this wartime fiasco endedwith 3,623 killed, captured or wounded. Intribute to those Canadians who died in thattragic raid, the French have erected a largegranite memorial shaped and coloured likea Canadian flag. It’s built into the cliff face atthe end of the Dieppe sea-front promenade.

The next day, we visited the Vimy RidgeMemorial, located about 12 km northeast ofArras.

The battle for this ridge took place fromApril 9 - 12, 1917. My uncle, and his ma-chine gun crew of four, survived Passchen-daele but were killed in another battle for thetown of Arras.

The monument consists of a massive con-crete base, weighing in at more than 11,000tons. It supports two pylons of carved sand-stone that reach 27 meters skyward. Thisgiant memorial is a silent tribute to 11,285soldiers, part of the 100,000 who made upthe Canadian Expeditionary Force. These11,000-plus had no final resting place at thetime, so each of their names was carved onthe walls of the huge granite epitaph. Themain inscription reads: “To the Valour oftheir Countrymen in the Great War, and theirmemory of their 60,000 dead. This monu-ment is raised by the people of Canada.”

The 250-hectare site was gifted to Canadaby France for the memorial. The monumenttook 11 years to complete, from 1925 to1936. Its shear size is almost impossible toappreciate. The tallest figure representingpeace, and, looking over the Doual Plain,

reaches 110 metres. It isthe tallest of 20 sculpturedfigures on the memorial.

During the groundpreparation for this edifice,hundreds of unexplodedmunitions were carefully dugup and disposed of to makeroom for the roadways toand around the memorial.

Nearby, the carefullypreserved network of enemytrenches and tunnels havebeen opened for display.However, much of thegrassy spaces are wellsigned with: “Do Not Enter,

Live Munitions.” All visitorsare asked to stay on thepaths. From time to time,the odd unexploded shell orother live munitions worksits way to the surface and iscarefully removed.

I sat quietly staring atthe monument trying toappreciate the messagethis memorial represents.I cast my eyes toward the50 or 60-year-old trees thathave grown up among thetrenches since those terriblethree days. It was a timewhen the noise of battlemust have been deafeningas it mixed with the screams

of the wounded and dying.Now, all is silent, deathly

silent. The quiet is un-spoiled.

Young, green trees andlush green grass that wecannot venture upon, pro-vide a gentle softness to thisone-time battlefield. Now, allis peaceful. Those who werelost in the name of peacewill be remembered for alltime.

I feel I have added myrespect for their ultimatesacrifice. It’s strangely silent,and still, a place of peaceand quiet now, a placewhere no birds fly.

In recent years, Cadillac hasraised its profile with edgy

styling and surprisingly goodperformance. The sporty2015 SRX enhances thatappeal.

Despite not seeing sig-nificant changes since thisgeneration’s debut back in2010, the SRX still matchesup well against the best inthe luxury crossover-SUVsegment. Its main competi-tors are the Lexus RX, theBMW X3, and the Audi Q5 –which are all important rivals.

The minor additions GMmade this year include newcolours and the 4G-LTE withbuilt-in Wi-Fi hotspot capa-bility on the OnStar system." Design

Chiselled and athletic arethe best words to describethe distinctive SRX. Theangular lines give it a mas-culine feel. Even thoughthe SRX is one of the most“dated” vehicles in Cadillac’slineup, its styling holds upwell and the car still looksfresh and exciting.

The SRX’s look is epito-mized by Cadillac’s wideshield grille, flanked bythe now iconic verticalheadlights. The wheels arepushed to the corners, re-sulting in a wide stance andshort overhangs.

Looking at the SRX fromthe side, your eye is drawn tothe fender vents and promi-nent crease rising from thetop of the front wheel to justbelow the rear window. Thehigh beltline and rear slantedroof continue the aggressivelook, but does limit outwardvisibility.

Vertical taillights compli-ment the front and thetwin tailpipes round out thepackage. A power liftgate isstandard on all but the basemodel.

The SRX’s cabin is stillup-to-date and luxurious;It should please any youngexecutive, though the newercompetitors are perhaps abit more modern.

Available in four trim levels,the SRX is offered withLuxury, Performance and

Premium Collections." Performance

All SRX models are pow-ered by a direct-injected3.6-litre V6 rated at 308hp and 265 lb-ft of torque.Lightweight materials wereused to reduce overall weightfor greater efficiency and abetter front-to-rear balance.

It is mated to a Hydra-Mat-ic 6T70 six-speed automatictransmission, which featuresa ECO mode the alters theshift points to improve fueleconomy.

All-wheel drive is availableto every model except thebase model. The systemincorporates an electroniclimited-slip differential thatincreases traction in slip-pery conditions, while alsoproviding side-to-side torquetransfer across the rear axleto enhance control duringhard cornering.

Further aiding handling isthe variable-effort, speed-sensitive steering system. Itis tuned with a sport-sedanstyle bias and gives goodfeedback without feelingtoo heavy. In fact, thanksto the traditional hydraulicsteering mechanism, theSRX provides a sportier feelthan many of its competitors,which have incorporatedelectric steering system.

The SRX is also availablewith Cadillac’s advancedsafety systems. The mostsophisticated of thosefeatures is frontal automaticbraking. Using radar, cameraand ultrasound technology,this system helps preventlow-speed collisions withalerts and the ability to brakecompletely, if necessary." Environment

The SRX’s cabin is a blendof luxury and technology.The materials are rich, thewood accent trim feels au-thentic, and the overall lookand feel is comfortable andcontemporary.

The front seats are wellbolstered, yet roomy. How-ever, the three-passengerrear seat can be a little tightfor taller adults, partly due to

the SRX’s low roof. The Ul-traView power sunroof goes along way to making the cabinfeel bright and airy.

The 844-litre volumeshould be plenty for regularshopping trips, but the cargospace behind the folding andreclining rear seats is some-what less than its rivals

The foundation of theSRX’s interior is its infotain-ment system. The CadillacUser Experience (CUE) iscomplimented by Bluetoothaudio streaming, and USBand SD connection.

You interact with thesystem through a touch-sen-sitive eight-inch display. Thelarge easy-to-target buttonsand Haptic feedback createa comfortable experience,although it is not the mostuser-friendly unfortunately(like most touch controlslately).

To make the driving experi-ence more enjoyable, theSRX offers active noise can-cellation. Using microphonesto monitor ambient noise, acomputer plays counteract-ing frequencies through theaudio system to quiet thecabin." Features

The 2015 SRX rangesin price from $42,930 to58,205.

The SRX has dated well,with great styling and sur-prisingly good steering feel.

Thumbs DownThe car is beginning to

feel outdated against othervehicles in this class. Also,several rivals offer diesel or

hybrid powertrains that aremore fuel efficient."The bottom line

If you’re looking for a five-passenger luxury crossoverwith bold styling and high-tech infotainment, be sure tocheck out the Cadillac SRX." Competitors

Lexus RXIn the luxury crossover

segment, the Lexus RX isthe benchmark in termsof reliability, versatility andcomfort. On top of this, theRX stands out for its intelli-

gent use of space and cargocapacity.

The base model RX 350starts at $50,600, while thesporty F SPORT model startsat $58,900. The fuel efficientRX 450h can be had for$62,650. An all new modelis coming soon this fall.

Shorter route still takes Wildcats to city title

Along serving coach ishoping a significant

change in the RichmondSenior Boys Soccer Leaguelandscape this season isonly temporary.The McMath Wildcats

continued their city domi-nance with a 2-0 win overthe McNair Marlins in lastweek’s final. The concern isjust how short of path it wasto earn Richmond braggingrights.Out of a potential 11

teams, this year’s leaguefeatured just five. That’s adrop of two teams from lastseason and four from the2013 campaign.The Wildcats and Marlins

were joined by RichmondColts, McRoberts Strikersand Hugh Boyd Trojans.With declining enrollmentthroughout the city, eachschool is classified at theAA level this season. It’s be-lieved to be the first time notone team is at the AAA flightfor larger schools since theall-city league was formed.The last time McMath com-peted at AA was about eightyears ago.The Wildcats, Marlins,

Strikers and Colts all ad-vanced to this week’s LowerMainland AA Champion-ships.Longtime community

soccer coach Mike Quinnhas been involved with theMcMath program since

2005, when he took on thejunior team and moved upto senior three years later.He suggests there are anumber of factors behindthe reduced number ofteams this season.“Finding people to run

the program, from eitherwithin or outside of school,is always a challenge,” saidQuinn, who coached manyyears with the RichmondUnited Metro program.“Then finding enough kidsto commit can be difficulttoo. I know there are B.C.Premier and Metro coachesthat don’t want their playersparticipating in high schoolsoccer for a variety of rea-sons.“I think it’s a wonderful ex-

perience getting an opportu-nity to play with your friendsfrom school. We have (B.C.Premier), Metro and Goldlevel players on our team.They never would get achance to play togetherotherwise.”The hope is two or three

schools return next seasonand the all-Richmond formatis back to healthy numbers.“It would be very unfor-

tunate if it ever got to thepoint where we had to jointhe Vancouver league,”continued Quinn. “All theextra travel would be a hugeinconvenience. We had toadd exhibition games to ourschedule this season just

to ensure the kids got theirmoney’s worth.”The Wildcats have a

20-player roster but only 13were available for the city fi-nal. Still, they put together asolid 80 minutes with goalsfrom Liam Fitzmaurice andDavis Poon.

“We didn’t have our stron-gest line-up but it was thebest our best performanceas a team this season,”added Quinn.The Wildcats’ strong play

continued during the LowerMainland Championships —opening the tournament with

a 4-0 win over McRoberts.Daniel Warmling led the waywith a pair of goals, Fitzmau-rice and Logan Hooper alsoscoredMcMath then advanced

to the final and locked up aprovincial berth with a 3-1win over John Oliver on

Wednesday. Sean Mi-nato scored twice. MathiasMelaku had the other.The Mainland final goes on

Monday with McMath takingon the Marlins who havealso locked up a spot in theprovincials, slated for Nov.23-25 in Burnaby.

McRoberts favoured to win both Richmond senior volleyball titlesThe McRoberts Strikers will be the teams to beat in the

girls and boys draws at next week’s Richmond SeniorVolleyball Championships.Both squads will take perfect records against city oppo-

nents into the three-day tournament which starts Tuesdayand concludes Friday.The defending champion Strikers not only went 8-0 to top

Connaught skaters in Coquitlam forB.C. Yukon Sectional Championships

After months of trainingand a handful of pre-

liminary competitions, it’s atlast “go time” for ConnaughtSkating.The Richmond club has

a contingent of skaters inCoquitlam this week for theB.C./Yukon Section Cham-pionships — the first officialstep in the road to nation-als. Connaught Director ofPrograms Keegan Murphysuggests at least 10 of hisskaters have a shot at beingon the podium includingMitchell Gordon (Senior Men),Danica Vangsgaard (NoviceLadies), Phoebe Yan (PreNovice Ladies), Wesley Chui(Juvenile Men) and Maho

Harada (Pre Juvenile Ladies).“We are very proud that we

are not just producing cham-pionship calibre skaters at thehigher end but right acrossthe spectrum,” said Murphy.“We have contenders in everycategory. The future is there.”The final tune-up for

Sectionals was a competi-tion in Chilliwack where theConnaught coaching staff felttheir skaters performed to“90 percent” of their abil-ity, setting themselves up topeak in Coquitlam.Meanwhile, Gordon was

back in Ontario making hissenior men’s internationaldebut at the Autumn Classic.He finished eighth overallin an impressive field thatincluded reigning Olympicchampion Yuzuru Hanyu ofJapan.

“It’s a huge step going fromjunior to senior international,explained Murphy. “Mitchellgained a huge amount of ex-perience at a totally differentlevel of competition. “Octoberwas a very busy month forus and the kids worked veryhard.”The top four finishers in

the Pre-Novice, Novice,Junior and Senior divisions atSectionals will advance to theWestern Challenge, slated forDec. 2-6 in Edmonton.Murphy added there is also

a chance to move on via awild card spot which is beingoffered for the first time.“The B.C. skating standard

is very high,” he said. “Youcould finish fifth or sixth andstill have a high enough scoreto get to Westerns. It’s not allabout placement but ratherskating your personal besttoo.”The top skaters from West-

erns will move on to the 2016Canadian Tire National Skat-ing Championships slated forJan. 18-24 in Halifax.

Applicant: Kinder Morgan Canada (KMC), 7815 Shellmont Street, Burnaby BC V5A 4S9. Cheryl Thesen (403-358-2509).

In accordance with the British Columbia’s Pest Management Act and Regulations, KMC is required to develop a PestManage-ment Plan (PMP) (for KMC the PMP is referred to as the IntegratedVegetationManagement Plan (IVMP)). The PMPmanagesproblem vegetation, including control of noxious weeds and invasive plants within KMC facilities. Facilities include pumpstations, valve stations, terminals, tank farms and office/maintenance facilities. All facilities are fenced, secure compoundsnot accessible to the general public. The facilities are located in proximity to the following communities in British Columbia:Valemount, Albreda, Blue River, Avola, Vavenby, Clearwater, Darfield, McLure, Kamloops, Merritt, Kingsvale, Hope, Chilli-wack, Abbotsford, Sumas, Langley, Burnaby and Richmond.

This PMP has been prepared to replace the existing 5 year PMP which expires in 2016. The proposed duration of the IVMP(PMP) is fromMarch 31, 2016 to March 31, 2021.

The vegetation management and weed control methods proposed for use include hand pulling, mowing, trimming, prun-ing, selective slashing, girdling, geotextile fabric, retaining existing low ground cover, and seeding, fertilization where setbacks permit and tree/shrub plantings. The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the PMP (IVMP) applies.KMC conducts all work, including pest management, in strict adherence with all applicable laws and regulations.

The common names and an example of trade names of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminocy-clopyrachlor (Navius VM), aminopyralid (Milestone), chlorsulfuron (Telar), clopyralid (Lontrel 360), dicamba (Vanquish),diflufenzopyr (Overdrive), diuron (Diurex 80WDG), flumioxazin (Payload), fluroxypyr (Retain B), glyphosate (Vantage XRT),imazapyr (Arsenal), indaziflam (Esplanade SC), MCPA (MCPA Amine 500), mecoprop-P (Mecoprop-P), metsulfuron methyl(Escort), picloram (Tordon 22K), triclopyr (Garlon XRT), 2,4-D (2,4-D Amine 600), Hasten (adjuvant) and siloxylated poly-ether (adjuvant). Application methods include: backpack, power hose and nozzle, wick/wipe-on applicator, squirt bottleand boom sprayer.

A draft copy of the proposed IVMP (PMP) and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined in detail online at:http://www.kindermorgan.com/content/docs/kmc_facilities_ivmp.pdf or by contacting the Applicant listed above.

“A person(s) wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pestmanagement plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant within 30 days of the publication of this notice”
