Being persistent and striking abalance in your life can put youon the road to success in whateveryou do.

That’s advice students at BCMuslim school in Richmondheard from Canadian Paralympianand local resident Walter Wu on adrizzly Wednesday morning.

But evenif the weatherdidn’t coop-erate, Wu’saddress to theGrade 6 and 7classes left asunny impres-

sion on the group assembled tolisten to the multi-medal-winningswimmer.

To illustrate his messageWu brought along his haul ofParalympic swimming medals forthe students to see and touch.

In total, Wu earned five goldmedals at the 1996 Games inAtlanta, two more gold in a five-medal intake in Sydney in 2000,and achieved numerous worldrecord performances, and was

inducted into the Terry Fox Hallof Fame.

It’s an impressive accomplish-ment for the athlete who is par-tially blind, but one he attainedthanks to plenty of support fromhis family, coaches and friends.

“I’m really proud, I had great

coaches,” Wu told the students.“You guys probably have fan-

tastic teachers. They want to helpyou get better, help you get smart-er, help you do your math or yourspelling. I had the coaches do thesame thing.”

Wu’s visit was part of the

RCMP’s Sports Event that bringshigh level athletes to local schoolsfor a dose of inspiration, and thenoffers a chance for the youngstersto square off against members ofthe RCMP in a sports activity.

This time it was floor hockeyin the school’s gym.

Wu added that school balancedwith other activities is what theyshould strive to achieve.

“You always want a balance.School’s important. Good gradesare important,” he said. “You wantto be good at school? Fantastic.But you also need a second part toyour life, as well. And it doesn’teven have to be sports. It could bein the arts.”

Wu said he had a well-round-edchildhood, taking part in a num-ber of sports growing up, as wellas music.

All the time, he had the sup-port of his parents who neverpushed him to compete.

“They never pressured me,” hesaid, “or said you have to be num-ber one, you have to win medals.They didn’t know how far I wasgoing to get, they just encouragedme.”

PHILIP RAPHAEL/RICHMOND NEWS

Walter Wu, a Canadian Paralympian, visited BC Muslim schoolWednesday morning to inspire Grade 6 and 7 classes.

BY PHILIP [email protected]

When a high school studentlearns another language, they geta credit towards their graduation— unless that other language isEnglish.

Having English LanguageLearning (ELL), also known asEnglish as a Second Language(ESL), courses count towards highschool graduation is just one of 16recommendations B.C. immigrantand refugee youth are sending tothe Ministry of Education.

The report, Fresh Voicesfrom Long Journeys: Insightsof Immigrant and RefugeeYouth, was sponsored by theVancouver Foundation and B.C.’sRepresentative for Children andYouth (RCY).

“The main thing we noticed washow similar all our experienceswere across the province,” saidTanvi Bhatia, 16, who sat on theyouth (ages 15-20) advisory team.

“It was some-thing that every-body mentioned; itwas probably oneof their first pri-orities. We want ourwork to count insome way.”

With one thirdof Richmond’s stu-dents enrolled inan ELL course, thereport will benefit alarge portion of the student body.

Released Tuesday morning,many Richmond School Districtstaff hadn’t had a chance to look atit, but one concern was making sure

the schools still followed a stan-dardized assessment procedure.

“I don’t have any qualms aboutit, as long as you’re completing theexams you need to graduate,” said

Diane Tijman,curriculum coor-dinator for ESLand multiculturalservices at thedistrict.

Tijman saidcredits arealready awarded,depending on thestudent’s ESLlevel and thesubject. If a stu-

dent was enrolled in a higher levelof ESL science, for example, thatcould go towards a regular sciencecredit.

The district also gives credits

based on extracurricular activity.“We problem solve to figure

out the best plan for the studentand award external credits suchas horse-back riding or piano, solearning English can be like one ofthose.

“But I think the graduationrequirements should stay the same,like completing English 12, orMath 10.”

Fresh Voices isn’t looking toreplace regular English, but wantstheir ESL courses to contribute tothe final tally needed to graduate.

The report came out of an immi-grant and refugee youth summit,organized by Vancouver Foundationand RCY, in 2011, followed by aseries of regional meetings in 2012.

“It feels like a no brainer formost people,” said Mark Gifford,

director of grants and community initia-tives at the foundation. “It doesn’t replaceother language credits. If they’re dedicat-ing their time towards this during andafter school, why not give them credit forsomething Canadian students getalready?”

It’s also an opportunity for theMinistry to take action and showit’s listening to the province’syouth, according to Gifford.

“They really want to strengthenthe communities they live in and it’s greatto see them so engaged,” he said. “It’s nota budget issue, it’s a way to assign realvalue to something, and credits are thereal currency for them.”

The advisory team also launched anonline petition at www.make-it-count.ca and will present the results to the

Ministry in December.The report contained 15 other recom-

mendations about how organizationscan better address the challenges thatimmigrant and refugee youth face liv-ing in B.C., such as, inequalities in the

school system and the uniquerole they play in the family.Approximately 200 youth wereconsulted.

“School in general can behard when you’re new, particu-larly being a person of colour in

a school is difficult in a place that’s notyour home,” said Bhatia, whose familymoved to B.C. from India. “Having some-thing like this count in some way willreally help students know their hard workis getting them somewhere.”

Dial-a-dope delivery bustedRichmond Mounties

have cracked what’sbelieved to be a “pizzadelivery style” crack andheroin operation.

The detachment’sOrganized Crime Unitended a six-month inves-tigation with two arrests— Richmond’s EmersonMendoza-Lopez and JohnWeiss.

Police began their inves-tigation in February, after

receiving information of anew group trafficking incrack and heroin.

The group, according topolice, was selling drugsusing a dial-a-dope traf-ficking technique, whichoperates much like a pizzadelivery service.

Addicts would call adrug line and place an orderfor drugs, in this case crackcocaine and heroin, whichwould then be delivered totheir location.

One person waits onthe side of the road or in

a vehicle for the arrival ofanother vehicle, which thenleads to a short meeting andexchange money and drugs.

The exchanges are quickand both parties leave in ahurry.

Through the course ofthis six-month investigation,police identified Mendoza-Lopez and Weiss and arrest-ed them Sept 19.

Mendoza-Lopez faceseight counts for traffickingand will be back in courtnext week, while Weissfaces one charge.

The Richmond school district is slat-ed to announce how it will pay for a 3.5per cent wage increase for non-teachingstaff Monday (Oct. 7), although schoolofficials are still unsure how much theincrease will cost in terms of dollarsand possible job cuts.

School board chair Donna Sargenttold the News district staff are stillcrunching numbers on the contractagreement worked out last monthbetween members of CUPE — whichrepresents about 1,000 workers locally,ranging from education assistants tojanitorial staff — and the ministry ofeducation. The calculations are beingdone because the province is download-ing the increase on districts, rather thanproviding funding.

The government’s directive is forschool districts to meet the contractincrease through savings found locally— and that could mean pink slips forsome staff.

It’s a scenario that will not takeaffect this school year, Sargent assured.But there could be job losses for thestart of the 2014 school year.

Hoping against that is June Kaiser,president of CUPE Local 716, who saidshe has been in discussion with the dis-trict to make suggestions where savingscan be made, such as shared services.

“Are we sharing enough services

with other districts, like bulk purchasingto save money?” Kaiser said.

She also questioned what happenswith funds saved through the provincialcarbon tax.

“We have access to the books. Wesee where the money is (or where it’snot). But there’s still a lot of stuff, even

on a local level that they should belooking at,” Kaiser said. “I think (schooldistrict staff) are doing the best they can... to find money.

“We’ve given them our ideas, andwe’ll see what they do with it.”

Aside from poring over the district’sbudget items, Kaiser said she feels theprovince is abandoning its responsibilityto properly fund education.

“For (the B.C.’s Ministry ofEducation) to still expect the districts topay is ludicrous,” she said. “And I don’tthink the districts are fighting hard

enough. I’m sure there’s fear and somepolitical stuff happening.

“The government has to understandthat it’s their negotiated settlement. Wenegotiated with the government becausethat’s where the money is. Had we notbeen told that, we’d still be negotiating.”

Also upset with the downloadingon districts is Richmond school trusteeEric Yung.

“It’s a process that has been fairlyprevalent over the past few years,” Yungsaid. “It can keep happening as longas the erosion of morale, services anddegradation of our capacity to provide aquality public education is acceptable.”

Most school districts across B.C.spend close to the full amount of theirbudgets annually, leaving very littleleft over to deal with expenses from acontract increase they did not negotiatedirectly, Yung added.

Richmond does have a $6.1 millionsurplus that Sargent said a portion ofwhich may be used. But it represents asmall percentage of the local district’s$200 million-plus budget.

While the surplus may seem likea lot of money, it can disappear veryquickly given other contract talks on thehorizon, Yung said.

“This isn’t an isolated incident.We’re probably going to have to startthinking about 2014 and onward forCUPE,” he said. “And we still don’tknow what’s going to happen with theteachers.”

No one was hurt, but a carwent bust at the River RockCasino Resort after it caughtfire on the fifth level of the

parkade earlyThursdaymorning.

Accordingto the resort’sexecutivedirector,

Chuck Keeling, the fire waslimited to the vehicle whichsuffered significant damage.

Keeling said sprinklers inthe parkade were not activat-ed because the fire’s intensitywas not hot enough to triggerthem.

“Thankfully, no one washurt,” Keeling said. “Butwe did have to evacuate our(South) hotel for about an

hour and a half.”The incident affected

about 100 guests.The parkade serves

both the hotel and adja-cent Bridgeport CanadaLine SkyTrain station. ButTransLink officials said thefire did not disrupt the morn-ing commute.

Traffic in and aroundthe resort was restricted asRichmond Fire-Rescue crewsremained busy mopping upafter the incident until after9 a.m.

The Richmond Chamber of Commerce isthe driving force behind a bold bid to free upthe marketplace in the skies above the city,B.C. and Canada.

Alongside the Vancouver Board of Trade,the chamber managed to convince theirnational body — the Canadian Chamber ofCommerce — to adopt a policy at its AGMon Monday in Kelowna which advocates foran “open skies” policy for airline access toCanada.

The chamber insists that opening up themarket to even just one new 777 cargo flightper day could create 1,700 labour hours or310 family-supporting jobs.

Currently, that market is heavily restrictedby the government’s current “blue sky” policywhich severely limits the amount of passen-ger and freight traffic which can come in andout of YVR, according to the chamber.

“There are flights from places such asAsia coming in and out of our airport here,but there could be even more if the policywas changed,” Howard Harowitz, chair ofRichmond Chamber of Commerce’s policyadvisory committee, told the News.

“Canada is a trading nation, includingtourism and freight, we’re an open economyand having free flow of goods and servicesis critical, yet we have policies in place thatrestrict that flow.”

Now that they have the ear of their nation-al chamber – although it took some convinc-ing the 600-plus delegates over the weekend

– Harowitz said it opens the door for theorganization to put some serious lobbyingpressure on Ottawa to re-think its policy onflight restrictions.

“We hope it will also galvanize our manylocal chambers across the country to lobbytheir MPs and business communities,” saidHorowitz.

“The more pressure we can put on thegovernment, the more chance we have ofaffecting change.”

However, this change will also put morepressure on the environment, according to theSuzuki Foundation.

“Although aviation is a relatively smallindustry, it has a disproportionately largeimpact on the climate system. It accountsfor four to nine per cent of the total climatechange impact of human activity.

“A special characteristic of aircraft emis-sions is that most of them are produced atcruising altitudes high in the atmosphere.Scientific studies have shown that thesehigh-altitude emissions have a more harmfulclimate impact because they trigger a seriesof chemical reactions and atmospheric effectsthat have a net warming effect,” states thefoundation’s website. It’s estimated that theclimate impact of aircraft is two to four timesgreater than the effect of their carbon dioxideemissions alone.

However, as far as trade is concerned,aviation restrictions are “driving both cargoand travellers across the border to U.S. air-ports and costing our economy dearly,” saidVancouver Board of Trade President andCEO Iain Black.

Last year I wrote about the case Moore v. Drummond, in which an adult child sought to overturn his mother’s Will on thebasis that she did not have the necessary capacity. The Court held that the mother did, in fact, have capacity. The child(defendant) then sought to vary the Will, based on the Wills Variation Act. Reasons for judgment were handed down lastweek.

In the case, the defendant was disinherited in his mother’s Will. The circumstances were sad; the mother apparently hadnot wanted to become pregnant and seemed to resent her son for being born. As you might expect, they were distant. Thechild visited her periodically, but their contact was mostly by telephone. Curiously, the mother stated in her Will that herson “never visited her” and so disinherited him. The Estate was instead left to her neighbours, who were close friends.

The Court, in a rather short decision (also understandable), found that the deceased owed her son a moral obligation andthat the reasons for disinheritance were insufficient to override the moral obligation. Nevertheless, the Court did not wantto fully exclude the deceased’s Testamentary freedom, and therefore divided the Estate equally between the adult son andthe neighbours.

This case has an unfortunate and sad background. It also appears that, since the Estate is valuedat only about $110,000, after the expense of the litigation, the son will be left with a very modestamount. In the overall picture, I believe he deserved better.

EDITORIAL OPINION

We’ve already heard enough about the so-called cooper-ative gains mandate to last a lifetime, but we’re goingto hear a lot more of that phrase.

Somewhere, tucked into an office in the Legislature or in aBC Liberal back room, is the architect of that phrase. This per-son is one of the masters of Orwellian doublethink.

Cooperative gains is what the government calls its policy ofgiving public sector workers raises, without actually giving themany more money.

How does that work, you ask? Email your answer with,“We’re not sure.” Apparently, the Liberals believe contracts likethe ones they just signed with the CUPE school support staffwill be magically filled thanks to the pots of leprechaun goldthat school districts have hidden under their foundations.

In reality, it will mean finding money by cutting somethingelse in the short term, and in the long term, likely by reducingthe number of people on the support staff payroll. Which will, ofcourse, have no impact on schools being cleaned, blocked pipesbeing cleared, or bad wiring being fixed.

This seems to be part of the belief by many governments, notjust the provincial folks, that there is always waste, and that cut-ting of this waste can and must go on indefinitely.

Now, either this is true, and the government will eventuallybe two guys, one of whom will fire the other, or it isn’t. If itisn’t, then eventually everything that’s not vitally necessary willhave been cut already.

Considering the Liberals have been in power for more than12 years, you’d think they’d have finished this process by now.

So to sum up: cooperative gains involve no cooperation, andno one gains any extra resources from Victoria. But someonehad fun coming up with the name.

This Oct. 3 marked theanniversary of the unifica-tion (or re-unification) ofthe separate countries ofEast and West Germany.This Oct. 30 marks theanniversary of the mostrecent attempt by the PartiQuebecois to secede fromCanada by referendum.

The idea of the country,of states, is so universal it’shard to imagine them notexisting.

Every scrap of land, bar-ring Antarctica, is claimedby one country or another.

Some of those countriesare so damaged by civil waror government collapse thatthey barely qualify as statesat all. Does Syria or theCentral African Republicreally exist just because wecan find them on maps?

For the vast majority ofhuman history, countriesand nations as we knowthem didn’t exist.

We tend to project ourmodern ideas about nationsinto the past. We picture theWessex of Alfred the Greatand imagine it as basicallymodern England, but withfewer paved roads and OneDirection concerts.

In fact, medieval Europedidn’t really have nation-states at all. People didn’tthink of themselves as citi-zens of Wessex, or France,or Prussia. They identifiedthemselves by their religion,by their village, by theirlanguage and culture, andby the person to whom theyowed fealty.

In place of citizenship,feudalism had systems ofpersonal oaths and obli-

gations. Miserable, dirt-scratching peasants gavetheir oaths to the locallandowner, who gave his tothe nearest lord, who was asubject of a greater lord orduke, and so on up to theking. And it didn’t necessar-ily stop there.

Kings might owe theirallegiance to other kings, atleast in part. What we mightcall an empire was oftenless a single entity than abig central blob directlycontrolled by an emperor,plus a bunch of fringe areasruled by their own kings,nabobs, lords, grand dukes,governors, and satraps, giv-ing gifts, taxes, or militaryassistance to the emperor.But most people just wor-ried about their local lordsor village bigwigs.

Borders were more fluid.Villages and arable landswere known quantities andbelonged to one king oranother, but land was sel-dom mapped out accuratelyenough to say who ownedwhat out in the woods ormountains.

There was nothing toprevent one person fromholding multiple roles in afeudal structure. If the rightpeople got married and/ordied in the right order, asingle individual could be,

say, King of Scotland andEngland at the same time,or King of England andElector of Hanover.

Further, none of theirpossessions technicallyhad to touch one another.Go and look at a map ofGermany before Napoleonused gunpowder to smooththings out. There were hun-dreds of little principalitiesand micro-kingdoms.

Parts of the India-Bangladesh border are likethat to this day because theborder tried to follow theboundaries of the old localpetty kings, turning it intoa crazy patchwork. Parts ofIndian territory are insideBangladesh, itself surround-ed by India.

Even once govern-ments grew stronger andstarted creating somethinglike a modern state, with abureaucracy, national sym-bols, and firm borders, thepeople took a long time tocatch up.

Feudalism might havebeen pretty cruddy, but atleast you could point to aparticular person as yourlocal lord. Modern statesdepersonalized that, andit took a long time for theabstract concept of patrio-tism to catch on.

The next time you seea national flag, hear ananthem being sung, or lookat those border lines on amap, remember that everysingle one of those things isbarely older than the steamengine.

PAINFUL TRUTH

MatthewClaxton

The Editor,I am writing to advise Richmondites that our farmland and

particularly the Garden City Lands (GCL) is under threat byactions of the B.C. government. Bill Bennett, Minister responsi-ble for the B.C. government’s Core Review said recently, “We’regoing to look at some sacrosanct things, like certain agencies.We’re going to look at the Agricultural Land Reserve and theAgricultural Land Commission. I’m going to look at things thatpoliticians have been nervous about looking at over the years andask to better understand how they make their decisions and whythey make their decisions and determine whether they’re struc-tured to help achieve the goals of our provincial government.”

After fighting so hard to save the GCL from development,it would be a real shame if the provincial government overruledthe City of Richmond and declared there would be no moreAgricultural Land Reserve (ALR). We Richmondites have bigplans for the GCL. The city heard loud and clear that we wantpublic open spaces, community gardens, test plots for new farm-ers, and natural parkland accessible to all.

Where would Richmond be without the ALR? I could seewall to wall highrises instead of beautiful vistas of the moun-tains; pavement and concrete instead of rich, productive landgrowing us food and giving us clean air.

As is evidenced by the planned expansion of PMV andDeltaport, it appears provincial and federal governments are benton destroying our natural environment in order to ship in foodand manufactured goods. But once the oil is gone and the shipsstop coming, we’ll need to provide for ourselves.

I would urge everyone who cares about the Garden CityLands and farmland in Richmond to write a short note tothe Select Standing Committee on Finance and GovernmentFacilities at: [email protected]. The deadline forsubmissions is Oct. 16.

Tell Dianne O’Brien to “go fly a kite” and she’ll likelysmile and answer, “where?” and “when?”

O’Brien, you see, is rather passionate about the con-cept of kite-flying.

Indeed, the now-retired Richmondite has been that waysince the 1990s, when she caught her first glimpse of a wildnew take on the old-school Ben Franklin electricity experi-ment. Called “dual line” kites because they were tetheredto their pilots by two lengths of string rather than one, theobjects of O’Brien’s affections tore through the skies atunimaginable speeds and manoeuvred like barn swallows.

That they often did so in groups, in tandem becausetheir operators worked as a team down below, only added toher fascination.

Soon, O’Brien would buy her own kite — a “Trilby”— which she promptly hid under her bed.

For the next year, she shied away from participating inthe male-dominated pastime and wondered if she’d everjump in the deep end.

But jump she did. Today, O’Brien is an ambassador forthe sport in her role as workshop coordinator for BritishColumbia Kitefliers Association (BCKA) and one of thekeenest team fliers you’ll find.

Sari Becker, conversely, is a relative noob. Spurred bya festival at Vancouver’s Vanier Park in 2011 where world-class teams brandished newfangled state-of-the-art kitescalled “quad lines,” Becker took the plunge soon thereafter

and began flying.She spent “four winter months, mostly flying alone, prac-

tising at a friend’s place in Dewdney” and felt the obsessiongrow. Yet, it didn’t take long to realize that watching anddoing are two completely different things. She calls it the “Iwant to break my kite stage,” and believes most serious fliersendure the very same sense of overwhelming frustration thatruled over her for the better part of the next year.

Bob Koga wanted to learn to kiteboard. He was “lookingfor a place to fly” and, like Becker a decade later, ended upat windy Vanier Park where he got his first taste of team kiteflying. As low-key as they come, Koga nevertheless fell hardfor the idea and spent untold hours over the next few yearscoming to grips with this most deceptively tricky discipline.

O’Brien, Becker, and Koga. Three distinctly different peo-ple, separated by vast distances (Koga and Becker live in theFraser Valley) yet drawn together by one critical bond — thelove of team kite flying.

It is that bond that keeps them coming back virtually everyweekend to Richmond’s Garry Point, where they spend thebetter part of the afternoon letting their imaginations soar.

Why Garry Point? For one thing, it’s home to some ofthe most “reliable winds,” as Becker puts it, in theLower Mainland. (More on that in the sidebar.) But

there’s something else.Garry Point is also home turf to the glue that brought the

group together. Koga calls her the “catalyst.” Becker speaks ofher “tough love” coaching. Her name is Cathy Tung and allthree point to her as the…ahem…wind beneath their wings.

It was a warm September afternoon when I chancedupon this informal group that, as usual, included Tungand her clearly talented kite-flying partner Steve Brown.At first, I couldn’t grasp the magic. Viewing the spectaclefrom the side, kites to the left and operators to the right, isfar from optimal. But shift your perspective 90 degrees andprepare to be dazzled.

In the foreground, a row of fliers. In the distance, a rowof kites, flawlessly spaced and propped upright in takeoffposition. The “caller,” (here it is Koga) issues his first com-mand and, in near-perfect synchronicity, the kites moveskyward.

Just as suddenly, they stop, hovering in space as if held

Way back in 1821, British businessmanNicholas Garry, working for the powerfulHudson’s Bay Company, undertook a monu-mental journey to ensure his place in history.

Sailing from London to New York andthen travelling — often by canoe — to distantoutposts across the colonies that now formCanada, Garry was on a mission to explain apotential merger between Hudson’s Bay andthe North West Company.

The surprisingly descriptive diary Garrykept during his voyage is still with us today,delivering a rare glimpse into the Canada oftwo centuries ago.

His name lives on in other ways too, suchas the Winnipeg forerunner known as FortGarry. Or the native B.C. tree known as theGarry Oak. And even closer to home we havethe kite-flier’s paradise known as Garry Point.

It’s unlikely anyone flew kites at GarryPoint in the 1820s, but one thing is certain— it was just a windy then as it is now.

And therein lies the key to Garry Point’s

high-flying success. The park juts into theocean like a handle at the base of Richmond.

It’s surrounded on three sides by waterand is thus a prime target for westerly, south-westerly and northwesterly winds.

Even its landlocked edge, being connectedas it is to oh-so-flat Steveston, is unguarded.This makes it quite unique amongst kitinghot spots.

But there’s more. Garry Point itself is rela-tively flat, never rising more than a few feetabove sea level. It is bereft, for the most part,of trees and structures, providing plenty ofuninterrupted space for every form of kite.

Park boasts windy history

by an unseen hand.Then they’re off again, moving this way

and that — perhaps a starburst, a game ofchase, or any other equally impressive ver-sions of aerial ballet. And all the while, thestrings connecting each human to their device— all were quad-line kites, so that’s fourstrings to each kite — somehow manage toremain tangle-free.

The soft-spoken Koga, a guy who can flyno less than three kites simultaneously, talksof the group’s role in a world record-setting,81-kite grid performed in Washington Stateearlier this summer.

Jung is effervescent, comfortable in herrole as catalyst. Becker does not hide her pastfrustration — a feeling shared by the others

as they learned the ropes — or her desire tobecome a better flier than she is today.

And O’Brien, a woman who regularlytakes the art of kite-building to local class-rooms and has seen kites evolve from single-line to double-line to the current quad-linebeasts, just enjoys the day.

Soon enough, Koga volunteered a brieftutorial and handed me the reigns. That’s theway this group rolls — seemingly never toobusy to help out a rookie.

Though my 10 minutes of flying generatedno less than a half-dozen painful crashes withthe hard, hard ground, it also produced onebrief dalliance with greatness — one momentwhere the slick contraption at the end of mytethers actually responded to my wishes. Itwas an amazing, freeing feeling.

“There’s never going to be anAmerica’s Next Top Writer. Whatwould they show, a back sitting ata computer?” said Laura Thomas, aVancouver-based communications spe-cialist, fostering the development ofyoung writers.

“It’s not a glamourouscareer, so I want to givethese kids support andaffirmation that writing isa real career and is a realart form.”

To that end, shehas organized the firstJunior Authors WritersConference this Saturday,Oct. 19 at Richmond’sSandman Signature Hoteland Resort.

At 8:30 a.m., about 100 excitedkids between the ages of nine and21 will file through the doors, eagerto learn some writing tips and getinspired by like-minded youth.

The conference brings togetheryoung writers from across the LowerMainland. Aspiring writers will havethe chance to hear professionals in thefield talk and participate in writingworkshops.

“They can sit at the table withother crazy kids who love to writeand know they aren’t different,” saidThomas, who has conducted numer-ous writing camps for youth aroundthe world. “Writers tend to be shy anduncomfortable with sharing their work.Hopefully, here, they can bounce someideas off each other.”

Thomas saw the needfor such a conferencewhen she noticed thatalthough other writingevents include youthcomponents, it’s not thesame as having a wholeday dedicated to them.

As young writers getolder, particularly thosebetween the ages of 18and 21, it becomes dif-ficult to compete withother adult writers,

according to Thomas. They still needadditional support.

“It can be especially tough if thekids don’t come from a literary family,there’s not a lot of community supporteither,” she said. “We’ll have a halfhour session for parents towards theend, so they can learn some tips forsupporting a young writer.”

The conference will also show theattendees the importance of writing in

general, whether they decide to makea career out of it or use their skills forother career choices.

Thomas highlights the focus onthe online world as a shift that makeswriters all the more important in everyday jobs.

“There haven’t been too many othertimes in history where it’s so importantto be a writer,” she said. “All compa-nies need good writers, whether it’supdating the web content, writing salescopy. They need staff writers.

“And working on writing alsomeans working on communicationskills, which is the bedrock of a soci-ety. It has a pay-off to how that childdevelops and becomes a leader.”

Tickets for the conference are $89,with a $79 sibling rate. They includesix workshops, a goody bag, doorprizes, a morning and afternoon snackand lunch.

Scholarships for families whocouldn’t afford admission were avail-able, but the deadline was Sept. 30.Participants also get to take part inthe launch of Thomas’ new book,Polly Wants to Be a Writer: The JuniorAuthors Guide to Writing and GettingPublished. The conference runs until 6p.m. For more information, or to buytickets, visit laurathomascommunica-tions.com/conference.

“I cut my teeth on Sabine,”a former professor of mineonce announced to a group ofmy friends.

His toothy metaphor star-tled some of them, but all hemeant was that I’d been one ofhis first students. To cut one’steeth signifies to gain experi-ence in a new situation.

The idea of linking dentition — theprocess of teething — and psychologicaldevelopment has a long history. The ancientRomans used it, along with numerology, asa benchmark for the stages of life, startingfrom day one. In fact, they considered fetusesand children who died before cutting theirfirst teeth to belong to a distinct categoryand hence gave them a different funeral rite— burial instead of cremation.

In general the Romans divided childhoodinto two phases. The first lasted until ageseven, when a child loses its milk teeth, thesecond until 14, by when a child has cut itspermanent teeth and thus approached the nextstage, considered by some to be adulthood.However, adulthood was often postponedto the age when a person grows the thirdmolars, usually between 17 and 25. The Latinterm for these molars, “dentes sapientiae,”teeth of wisdom, indicates the Romans linkedadulthood with good sense and prudence.

Naturally, there were different views abouthow to divide and define the various stagesof life. The ancient Roman Varro believedthere were five stages, from the beginning toage 15, from 15–30, 30–45, 45–60, 60 untildeath. His near contemporary, Cicero, namedfour divisions, associating them with differentcharacteristics — childhood with “infirmitas”(weakness), youth with “ferocitas” (impetuos-

ity), adulthood with “gravitas”(seriousness) and old age with“maturitas” (ripeness).

The association Ciceromade of young age with weak-ness is evident in some Englishwords. Infant and infantile,for example, are based on theLatin “infans,” which signifiesnot speaking (from “in,” not,

and “fans,” the present participle of “fari,” tospeak). Along the same lines, our word punystems from the French “puis nè,” born after-wards, that is to say younger — we use punyas a synonym for weak, feeble.

To reach the next stage of its development,the weakling — the child — must be nour-ished. The Latin for nourish is “alere,” whichis related to “alescere,” to grow. “Adolescere”(composed of “ad,” to, and “alescere”), mean-ing to grow up, is the source of the word ado-lescent. Adult derives from “adultus,” grownup, the past participle of “adolescere.”

According to some, there was a transi-tional phase between childhood and adult-hood called youth. Varro placed it betweenthe ages 30–45. Youth and young man inLatin — “juventus” and “juvencus” — gaveus such words as juvenile and junior.

By the time he passed 45, an ancientRoman was a “senior.” When he turned 60,he became an old man, “senex,” the root ofour word senile. Suffering the weaknessesof old age — senility — and often toothless,the old person has much in common withthe weak and toothless creature he was atthe beginning of life’s journey. What betterreason to treat the senile with all the love andgentle care we lavish on infants?

Wine&Dine

It’s early on aThursday evening atSip Wines in IronwoodPlaza, but it feels like aFriday night at a friend’shome. Smiling wineenthusiasts are standingat the bar enjoying eightwines that owner SimonWosk and Eric Urquhartare pouring.

This complementary wine tast-ing is a popular feature at Sip Wines.Wosk confides, “People can lose theirinhibitions by coming here and askingquestions and tasting in a relaxed atmo-sphere. Taste before you buy.” The pop-ular tastings are held Thursdays from4-7 p.m. and Saturdays from 3-6 p.m.

Richmond’s Doug McLeod is one ofthe tasters. “The staff at Sip are friendlyand knowledgeable, they have a greatselection, and the wines are all VQA soI know the quality. And it’s close to thehouse.”

So it’s a win-win! Unlike most pri-vate wine stores, there is no additionalmark up; you pay winery prices.

McLeod’s favourite white is aBaillie-Grohman 2012 Gewurztraminerfor $18. Unlike most B.C. wines,

which are producedin the Okanagan, thisGewurztraminer is madein Creston. As somme-lier Urquhart explains,“Creston has a differentclimate so it’s not yourstandard Gewurz, but itis a Gewurz.”

And a deliciousone at that with its rose-petal aromaand grapefruit flavour. Because ofour cool climate, most B.C. whiteshave a refreshing level of acidity,which balances the juicy fruitiness.Gewurztraminers are a perfect matchfor curries and Chinese food.

As for his favourite red, McLeodpicked the Cassini 2010 Quattro at $25.It’s produced in the Okanagan nearOliver, known for making premiumreds.

Quattro literally means four and thiswine is a blend of Merlot, CabernetSauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Syrah.

Expect a full-bodied, smooth, richtaste with plenty of fresh blackberriesand plum flavours. Grilled lamb chopswith garlic and rosemary would partnerwell with a glass of Quattro.

Wine&DineRecipe: Include plums, other fruit as peaches get scarcefruits and vegetables, notonly raw, but also cookedor prepared in a differentway to show the studentshow versatile and tastyfruits and vegetables canbe.

Last week was our sec-ond delivery of local B.C.produce and we were for-tunate enough to receivea shipment of organicpeaches from Harker’sOrganics, a five-genera-tion family business locat-ed in Cawston, B.C.

The variety of peach-es they supplied wasO’Henry, a bright red-skinned, medium-largefreestone peach with verylittle fuzz and yellow fleshthat is sweet and juicy.

This week, I will befeaturing the leftoverpeaches in peach handpies.

Actually, the ones thatmy students and I will bemaking for the studentpopulation to sample aremore like “finger pies”because they are tiny.

Since we’re intoOctober now, peaches arescarce, but you can makehand pies with peaches,nectarines, plums, oralmost any other fruit thatyou like.

Just be sure to dice thefruit finely and dependingon how sweet and juicy thefruit is, adjust the amountof sugar and cornstarchaccordingly.

The recipes are adaptedfrom Smitten Kitchen(Deb Perelman’s popularfood blog and website).

Peach Hand Pies(Yield: 24 or more,

depending on the size ofthe cookie cutters)

Ingredients for Crust:3 3/4 cups all-purpose

flour1 1/2 tbsp sugar1 1/2 tsp salt1 1/2 cups unsalted

butter, very cold& cut into 1/2”cubes

3/4 to 1 cup buttermilkcoarse sanding sugarfor decoration

Directions for Crust:1. In large bowl, whisk

together flour, sugar andsalt. Add butter, workingit in with a pastry blenderto make a coarse/crumblymixture, leaving most ofthe butter in large, pea-sized pieces.

2. Stir in the 3/4 cupbuttermilk; the doughwon’t be cohesive.

Using your hands, bring

it together into a ball bykneading gently.

If it is still too dry, addmore buttermilk, aboutone tablespoon at a timeand knead briefly until itcomes together.

Divide dough in half,wrap each half in plasticwrap, flatten into a discand chill in fridge for atleast one hour or over-night.Ingredients for Filling:

2 1/2 lbs peaches2 tsp fresh lemon juice3 tbsp sugar (1/4 cupfor a sweeter filling)3 tbsp light brownsugar (1/4 cup for asweeter filling)

pinch ground cinnamonpinch salt2 tbsp + 1 tsp cornstarch

Directions for Filling:1. Chop peaches into

small pieces (approx. 1/4-inch dice).

2. In large bowl, mixtogether fruit and remain-ing ingredients; mix untilwell combined.

Set fruit mixture aside.

Assembling the Pies:1. Remove dough from

fridge, unwrap and rolldough on a floured worksurface until 1/8 inchthick.

Using a 3” cookie cut-ter, cut out pie shapes(round or square) fromdough and remove scraps.

Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and fillthe centre of each pie witha small amount of fruitfilling.

Do not be tempted tooverfill the pies. Doughscraps can be re-rolledbut handle the dough aslittle as possible and workquickly to prevent makingthe dough tough.

2. Quickly brush a littlecold water around the cir-cumference of the dough,and fold it in half so theother side comes down

over the filling, creatingeither a semicircle or tri-angle.

Seal the hand pie, andmake a decorative edge bypressing the edges of thedough together with theback of a fork.

Repeat process withremaining dough.

Place the hand piesback on the parchment-lined baking sheet, andreturn to the refrigerator tochill for another 30 min-utes.

3. Heat oven to 375°F.Remove the chilled handpies from the refrigerator,cut a small slit in each,and lightly brush with the

egg yolk wash.Sprinkle sanding sugar

generously over the piesand place pies in the ovento bake.

Bake until the hand piesare golden brown and justslightly cracked, about 20-25 minutes.

Remove the pies fromthe oven and let stand tocool slightly before serv-ing.

4. Leftover fruit fillingcan be placed in a sauce-pan, cooked and stirredgently over medium heatuntil cornstarch and juicesthicken. Remove fromheat, cool and serve withice cream.

Roadrunners in the market for new head coachAfter three outstanding seasons at the helm, Greg Rennie returns to Junior “A” ranks in 2014 with Delta Islanders

A major shake-up with theDelta Islanders Junior “A”Lacrosse Club has made a rip-pling impact on the RichmondRoadrunners Intermediate “A”team for the 2014 season.

After three outstanding sea-sons running the Roadrunners’program, Greg Rennie hasaccepted the head coaching posi-tion with the Islanders. He willalso serve as the club’s assistantgeneral manager and be heavilyinvolved in player personnel deci-sions.

Rennie guided Richmondto three consecutive provincialappearances, highlighted by a sil-ver medal finish this summer. TheRoadrunners also won a pair ofregular season titles. He says hewill help the club find a replace-ment and has a potential candi-date in mine. His assistant coach-es — Dave Perog and Ryan Keith— are also heading to Delta.

“It’s tough to leave such anoutstanding organization,” saidRennie. “For all the guys comingback, I wish I could stay anotheryear and go win a provincialchampionship but this was toogood of an opportunity to pass upon. But I definitely will be help-ing them out with finding a newcoaching staff.”

The Islanders also announcedGary McBride has stepped downas president and replaced byBruce Davidson, who will alsocontinue on as general manager.Davidson’s son Connor played forRichmond last season.

The developments added up toa harsh send-off for Islanders for-mer head coach Shaun Springett

who guided the club to its first-ever berth in the league finalsa year ago and had the team incontention again this past season.That changed in July when theclub sent top scorers Cody Nassand Eli McLaughlin to the NewWestminister Salmonbellies forprospects and draft picks. Nassled the B.C. Intermediate leaguein scoring in 2012 with Richmondbefore forgoing his final year ofeligibility to play for Delta.

The fact Springett had no sayin the transaction hinted the direc-tion the Islanders were headedin 2014. However, it was a dealmany believed had to be made

with the organization thin on tal-ent beyond next season.

Rennie’s return gives theIslanders a coach who has hadhis finger on the pulse of theB.C. Intermediate “A” LacrosseLeague. The Ladner native is alsoaware of the current talent at themidget level which will servewell for future drafts.

“This really has nothing to dowith Shaun’s ability as a coach,”said Rennie on Monday. “He dida great job here. It had everythingto do with scouting and recruit-ing. I never would have agreed toreturn if that trade with New Westwasn’t made because there would

have been so little to work withbeyond next season.”

Springett had heard rumoursin the summer the club was plan-ning to go a different directionbut thought there might havebeen a change in plans until hegot the news late last week. He isexpected to land on his feet verysoon with another team.

“Lacrosse coaches are hired tobe fired,” he chuckled. “I thankthe organization for the oppor-tunity they gave me and I willreally miss working with thosekids. Sure, I was looking forwardto making a run at a champion-ship next season with the team we

had coming back. If anything, Iwished they had made the moveat the time of the trade as it wouldhave made more sense to me.”

Meanwhile, Rennie hasalready been green lighted toshore up his roster for 2014and promises it will be a verybusy offseason, starting with theupcoming league AGM.

“We will be making somehuge deals,” promises Rennie.“You will see more trades (in thenext five months) than you didin the past two years. We willdefinitely be looking at bringingsome third-year guys to help pushthis team over the top.”
