Thirteen-year-old Reid Scallygets ready for school and gives hismother a big hug and tells her howmuch he loves her.
Unusual? In some respects, Reidis not your typical teenager but inmany ways, he is.
Besides public displays ofaffection for his mom and beingepileptic, the Steveston teen has acondition called global develop-mental disability, whereby Reid issignificantly delayed in intellectualand social skills.
His mom, Janet Carson, saidReid struggles with math and read-ing.
“Reid’s brain didn’t fully devel-op in utero so he is behind his peersin all areas of development,” sheadded.
“However, Reid is very athleti-cally capable and has taken part inthree Special Olympics.”
Reid is a sports fanatic, enjoyingswimming, soccer and, his all-timefavourite, hockey. In fact, Reid hasmore signed Canucks jerseys andhockey sticks than most younghockey fans.
Carson credits RichmondSociety for Community Living(RSCL) for the joy she sees in herson.
“Reid has been going to YouthConnections (an after-school andholiday program) for about a yearand a half now and he loves it,”said Carson.
She spoke to the News to helpraise awareness about the upcomingfundraiser on Nov. 9, which hopesto raise $20,000 for the RSCL play-ground — a creative, interactivespace allowing children to relaxand have fun.
Reid attends Youth Connectionsfour days a week during the schoolyear and daily during the summer.
When Reid was younger, heattended an integrated YMCA pro-gram at Byng elementary.
“As Reid got older, the programdidn’t work as well for him any-more,” said Carson.
“Our support worker suggestedYouth Connections, and there isno question in my mind that this iswhere he should be.”
Although Carson said she andher husband debated whether toplace Reid in a segregated program,they have no regrets, only positive
things to say about RSCL.“Reid is much more engaged
with others of a similar age and heis forming relationships with thekids that he sees on the weekends,”Carson said. “He is also doingthings he really enjoys.
“As a parent, what is criticallyimportant is that Reid is safe and inthe company of highly trained andwonderful people who enrich hislife in so many ways.”
RSCL sets priorities for allof the participants in Youth
Connections and take the time tofind out what interests them.
They are setting Reid up to suc-ceed in life, Carson said.
“They took the time to findout what interests him and builthis monthly schedule according towhat he likes to do,” she added.“They have incorporated cooking,dog walking.
“Because Reid expressed thedesire to get his driver’s licence oneday, they take him go-karting …whether he can or not, at least hegets to go go-karting.”
Meanwhile, Denise Abegg,Reid’s Youth Connections recre-ational counselor, is at the homewhen the News met up with thefamily last week. Abegg helps Reidget ready for school and takes himthere.
She is a passionate advocatefor the playground and what it willmean for all of the young peoplewho attend the program.
“It will allow them to be happyand relaxed in a recreationaltherapy learning environment …although, we don’t go as far assaying it’s a specific recreationaltherapy program,” said Abegg.“However, it will be a real multi-sensory and interactive play space.
“We are also inviting the com-munity at large to share our worldwith them.”
Not all people with disabilitiesare as fortunate as Reid.
More than 2,800 BritishColumbians with developmentaldisabilities are waiting for services,according to provincial governmentfigures. Of those, 2,100 are receiv-ing some help but not enough, andthe balance, 750, is without anyassistance whatsoever.
That translates to a deficit ofmore than $45 million in fundingthat is lacking from the CommunityLiving B.C. (CLBC), the

NewsBarr: RSCL in crises modegovernment agency respon-sible for providing fundingand services to the develop-mentally disabled.
“In respect to all the arti-cles in the media regardingCLBC, it is accurate to saythat we are in a crisis mode,”said Janice Barr, executivedirector for RSCL.
“This is affecting familieswith a child with disabilityacross their lifespan.”
RSCL has had noincreases in governmentfunding in two years; yet,requests for their servicesand programs keep rising.In 2010, RSCL served1,100 people with dis-abilities. “We currentlyhave 114 families on awaitlist for our supportedchild development programalone, and we serve 369 fam-ilies right now,” added Barr.
Now more than everbefore, the nonprofit orga-nization depends on fundsraised through its fundraisingefforts.
Barr said RSCL, whichis the largest provider ofservices for people withdisabilities in Richmond,needs to raise approximately$200,000 every year to keep
its programs running and toprovide for capital improve-ments, such as the YouthConnections playground.
“We receive around $4.5million from CLBC, butour yearly costs are closeto $10 million a year,” Barrsaid. “We also do not receiveany government fundingfor capital equipment or forimprovements.”
RSCL also receivesfunds from user fees, privatedonors and other nonprofitfoundations.
Barr also acknowledgedCarson’s frustration withinadequate care over springbreak and Pro-D days.
“It is problematic butschools are closed more daysand have an expanded springbreak which adds pressureon us,” said Barr. “We have
not been able to meet thatdemand… there are fund-ing shortfalls all across theboard.”
Meanwhile, Barr hopesto raise more than $20,000during its gala soiree, TheBenefit of Possibilities … ACommunity Affair to closethe gap on the $100,000needed to build its fullyaccessible playground.
“The newly designedoutdoor space will be fullyaccessible and safe forchildren, ‘tweens and teensto enjoy both recreationaland creative experiences,”said Lisa Cowell, RSCLmanager of fund and com-munity development.
The Benefit ofPossibilities … ACommunity Affair hap-pens Wed. Nov. 9 from
6:30 to 10 p.m. in the Grandballroom at the ExecutiveAirport Plaza Hotel.
This is RSCL signatureevent with all proceeds goingto the Youth Connectionsplayground. Tickets are $75,which includes dinner, liveentertainment with TickleMe Pickle and a silent andlive auction. For more infor-mation call 604-279-8412 orvisit www.rscl.org.

He wanted council to look at eachdepartment’s budget and assess expenditures.It wasn’t about going in there with an axe,he added. Some programs may have neededbeefing up. However, no one on council,apart from his wife Evelina, would supporthis initiative.
“I’m really not sure why. It would taketime, but we used to do it, and how else canwe know if we are getting good value?”
Instead, each department’s financial totalfrom the previous budget was simply accept-ed as is, he said.
He has also become frustrated that somuch focus has been on big ticket items,such as the oval or the new RCMP headquar-ters or new fire halls. “These are all goodthings, but we are forgetting about the littlethings that impact people’s day-to-day lives— like installing a left turning signal at aparticular intersection, or playgrounds in thecity centre.”
Moreover, it is difficult to hold councillorsto account on anything, Greg said.
“We used to have a slate on the left anda slate on the right and there would be moreaccountability, at least you knew what theystood for. This way, it’s a mixture, and youcan’t pin anyone down on anything. It’s dif-ficult to run on your record because we dideverything as everybody.”
While his political frustrations partlyexplain why he’s not seeking re-election,personal interests are also at play. Greg, 68,said he wants to spend more time with hisgrandkids, boating, traveling and enjoying
life as a senior.Sue, meanwhile, said she agonized right
up until the night before Friday’s deadlineabout continuing a 27-year love affair withlocal politics.
“At the end of the day, I think life is justtoo short and, without getting into my age,I’m getting older and I started to think aboutthe commitment needed for another threeyears,” she told the News.
“I struggled last week over this, I reallydid, I didn’t sleep a wink. But after I madethe decision, I knew it was the right one.
“I feel very fortunate to have been a citycouncillor during these exciting times. Butwe now need people to come in with freshideas.” Sue, who’s now preparing to spendmore time at her new cottage on the SunshineCoast and with her eight grandchildren, hadbeen fully expected to run with the RITEslate, which even distributed her bio andpicture in a press release as recently as last

A few hours earlier, Loowas in city hall on No. 3Road, filing the candidatenomination papers she onlydecided to fill in at thebeginning of the week.
“I’ve been thinking aboutit a lot since I retired,” saidLoo, a retired charteredaccountant. “Sometimes Isee things in Richmond andthink ‘if I was mayor.’ Notthat I’m going for mayor, ofcourse, I think we have pret-ty good leadership. Maybe afew years down the road.”
However, Loo, who hasset up home once again inher native city with the manshe married in May 2010,revealed that next month isgoing to be a big one formore reasons than the Nov.19 election.
“We are expecting ourfirst child on Nov. 24,”Loo said. “Everything isgoing really well with thepregnancy and I’m lookingforward to it all, it’s goingto be a very busy time.”
As for long-timeincumbent city council-lor McNulty — a memberof the Richmond Firstslate — putting his seal ofapproval on her nominationform, Loo said she’s knownhim for many years after hehelped her secure sponsor-ship ahead of the Olympicswhen government fundingdried up.
“(McNulty) said Iwould’ve been welcome onthe Richmond First slate,but I was a little late in get-ting myself organized,” shesaid. “It’s going to be harderas an independent, but Iguess I don’t have to followanyone else’s beliefs.”
If she were to get thebigger seal of approval fromthe Richmond people, Loosaid she’d like the city totake a closer look at its zon-ing policy.
“The city is getting reallyfull and we’re not creat-ing communities anymore,people are rarely interact-ing with each other,” Looadded.
“I’d like to see moreneighbourhoods created. I’dlike to see more programsaimed at getting people outand interacting.
“When I was a kid, weknew all our neighbours.Now I’m not sure I knowany and there’s a real dis-connect with each other. I’dlike to make Richmond aneven better place to raiseour kids.”

“A friend was watchingon TV and called to ask if Iwas OK. I had no idea whathad happened until I gotback to Richmond.”
The building was sobadly damaged that manyresidents, including Lai,couldn’t move back intotheir apartments for up tofour months and two unitswere uninhabitable for ayear.
During that period theresidents had to find tem-porary accommodationselsewhere.
Many of them werecompensated for their lossesthrough their insurance.
However, 23 — mostlynew immigrants to Canada— had no insurance andwere left high and dry.
That was until a law firmspecializing in aviation law,Vancouver-based CFM,stepped up and offered torepresent the 23 residentsfor free.
Just a couple of monthsago, the last of the RosarioGardens’ cases was settledout of court. All the residentswere able to secure compen-sation from the pilot’s insur-ance company.
And, with the fourth-yearanniversary of the crash inmind, a delegation represent-ing the 23 residents walkedinto CFM’s office and madea special thank-you presenta-tion.
“I was living out of asuitcase for two months andnone of us knew where toturn,” Lai said.
“When my case wasclosed, it was such a relief,such a weight off my shoul-ders, we can’t thank the law-yers enough.”
Lai was in the process oftrying to sell her apartmentwhen the crash happened,but the buyer backed outafter the tragedy.
She couldn’t put it backon the market for anothertwo years, so was eventuallycompensated thanks to helpfrom CFM.
Rosario’s strata councilpresident, Eddie Chu, madethe presentation Monday of abasket of fruit and plaque toCFM partner Joe Fiorante.
The accompanying card,signed by the residents, read,“We were left in a situa-tion, nobody cared. (Out)of it came your light whichglared, you led us out fromthe black, we thank you fromthe bottom of our hearts.”
Looking back to the daysand weeks after the crashand the subsequent displace-ment, no one knew what todo next, Chu said.
“Nobody cared and weneeded help,” he said.
That help eventuallyarrived in the shape of CFM,which decided to make a“community service proj-ect” out of the 23 residents’plight.
The law firm was firstcontacted not long after theincident by then RichmondMP Raymond Chan, whoasked Fiorante to sit in on atown hall meeting betweenthe residents and theTransportation Safety Boardabout how the crash investi-gation would proceed.
“(Chan) wanted me tocome along and answerquestions with regard toany legal situations,” saidFiorante.
“I then met Eddie (Chu)and we decided to take on akind of community serviceproject for our younger law-yers.
“We brought the claimsthrough the small claimscourt. Primarily, the defen-dant was the insurer of thepilot.”
Fiorante said his teammanaged to get compensa-
tion for things like loss ofpersonal effects and lost rentand for the inconvenience ofbeing displaced.
“There wasn’t a lot ofmoney involved, though, andthey’ve all signed confidenti-ality agreements, so we can’tspeak about the figures,” headded.
“A lot of the residentswere new to Canada andreally had no clue about thesystem. So it was a goodexperience for our staff aswell.
“It was such a strangeaccident that it kind of calledout for them to be helped.”
Their claims were simplynot large enough for them tohire lawyers, Fiorante said.
“We felt it was just some-thing we should do.”
Two years after the acci-dent, the TransportationSafety Board issued a reportthat cited “pre-existingmedical” conditions that mayhave caused Garrison to loseconsciousness and crash hisplane.
The report statedGarrison had had three priorcrashes, and had diabetesand hypertension.

Resident falls prey to lottery scamRichmond RCMP is
investigating after a localresident was scammed out of
$4,500, believing she’d wonthe lottery.
In May of this year the
victim received a phonecall advising her that shehad won the lottery worth
$150,000. But to claim hermoney, she would first haveto send $4,500 to China.
The victim initially didnot believe the caller and,didn’t send any money.
The calls continued andduring one of these calls thevoice on the other end of thephone provided the victimwith a website. She visitedthe site and discovered arelated phone number.
“The victim called thephone number and spoke toa female who informed thevictim that the lottery waslegitimate,” said RichmondRCMP’s Cpl. SherrdeanTurley.
“The victim still didn’tbelieve that she had won thelottery and consequently didnot send any money.”
But the calls to the victimcontinued, which promptedher to call the number fromthe website again.
For the second time, shewas told the lottery was legit-imate and, as a result, decid-ed to wire $4,500 to China,supposedly to a lawyer.
As soon as the money wassent, the calls stopped.
She phoned the numberfrom the website again, but itwas disconnected.
The woman’s experienceis not unique, according toTurley, and is often referredto as the “lottery scam.”
Another version of thescam occurs when someoneclaims to be a lawyer respon-sible for distributing funds.However, the funds can’t behanded over until a process-ing fee or legal fee is paid.
“It’s important for peopleto remember that you can’twin the lottery without buy-ing a ticket,” Turley added.
“Legitimate lotteries donot contact winners and younever have to send money toredeem your prize, even ifyou’re told it’s an emergency.
“Don’t let the repetitivecalls pressure you into giv-ing in.”
Some red flags to beaware of are as follows:! Unsolicited calls askingif you would like to be in a“lottery pool.”! You receive mail notifyingyou that you’ve won a sub-stantial amount of money.! Requests for you to sendcash to redeem your prize.! Being told that you mustkeep your winnings a secretto avoid tax consequences.
For more information onscams, visit the CanadianAnti-Fraud Centre at www.antifraudcentre.ca.
Richmond RCMP isrequesting that anyone whobelieves they may have beena victim of this scam to con-tact their local police.
For Richmond RCMP, call604-278-1212.

EDITORIAL OPINION
In recent weeks, liberal-minded people from across thecontinent have flocked to America’s — and now Canada’s— financial capitals to demand, well, something.
It’s not entirely clear what the protesters of the OccupyWall Street and Occupy Canada movements want, only topoint out the obscene financial disparity in both countriesand the astonishing greed of the wealthiest.
After the 2008 financial crisis, it’s hard to disagree withthe sentiment, but unless the protest becomes more focused,it may not make any difference.
Political movements tend to succeed when they demanda specific legislative change. On one hand, this ragtag groupin Zuccotti Park and their Canadian counterparts are farfrom doing this, instead voicing a plethora of conflictingdemands intended, broadly speaking, to address income dis-parity.
On the other hand, it is the group’s diversity that is itsstrength. Nevertheless, the activists might be smart tochoose a single target, and we say that target should be elec-tion finance.
In the United States, especially, lawmakers are handi-capped by a system that allows big companies and evenwhole industries to bankroll political campaigns to the tuneof millions of dollars.
Beholden to donors, officials habitually gut legislationthat would benefit ordinary people in favour of laws thathelp the wealthy few — witness their attempt to reign inreckless investment practices after the 2008 crisis.
This is less true in Canada, where unions and corpora-tions can’t make donations, but at the provincial level — inBritish Columbia, anyway — the system is still a free-for-all. Vancouver protesters should focus their ire there.

If the recent Occupyprotests sent any kind ofmessage, it is this: Canadais a much more comfortableand safer place to be thanmost any other country.
The protest organizersare ecstatic that severalthousand people showedup at the Occupy protest inVancouver. As protests go,that is not a lot of people.
The mild response tothe Occupy movement inCanada stands in starkcontrast to the reaction tothe same movement in suchplaces as the United Statesand some European coun-tries.
The reason for Canada’slukewarm participationin the Occupy movementreflects the fact that, com-pared to the U.S. and coun-tries like Greece, Portugaland Italy, this country isnot mired in an economiccrisis.
Those countries havehigh unemployment levelsand for the most part we donot. In the U.S., thousandsof families lost their homesin the subprime mortgagefiasco that did not occurhere. Some regions in thatcountry remain economicbasket cases, not havingcome anywhere close torecovering from the 2008recession.
The U.S. banking sys-tem is seen as corrupt andgreedy. By comparison,Canada’s stable bankingsystem is the envy of theworld and saved this coun-try a lot of pain during thelast recession.
In the U.S., public
services are slowly beingstrangled by that country’srefusal to adopt any kindof coherent and fair taxa-tion system. In Canada,governments are strugglingto maintain a high qual-ity of public services, butthey have not been erodedanywhere near what hasoccurred south of the bor-der.
Some of the Occupyprotest movement’s orga-nizers say their aim is todismantle the current mon-etary system.
Yet, everything fromanimal research to druglaws to forest practices tosmart meters to greedycorporations were the sub-ject of protest signs at theOccupy events. The move-ment is deliberately disor-ganized and decentralizedand, for now, completelyleaderless.
Given that lack of focusand given the fact thiscountry is not teetering onthe edge of collapse, wheredoes this movement gofrom here?
The Vancouver protest-ers say they’ll maintain thatsmall tent city on the frontlawn of the art gallery “aslong as it takes.” We’ll see.
But there’s one caveatto all the skepticism direct-
ed at the Occupy movementin this country: the role ofyoung people.
The current social eco-nomic reality is skewed foryounger folks. Since the1930s there has been analmost constant progressionthat each generation is bet-ter off than the one before,but I’m not so sure thattrend will continue.
The baby boomers’children — those youngerthan 30 — may be the firstgeneration in a long timewho face fewer traditionalopportunities for successthan their parents.
Most young peoplehave trouble finding jobs,or at least meaningfulemployment beyond mini-mum-wage entry positions.University tuition is prohib-itively expensive for many.
So if the Occupy move-ment succeeds beyond itsinitial modest success, itwill be because the youngergeneration seizes the leadand finds a way to effec-tively force change.
But they will first haveto articulate what spe-cific change they think isrequired, and offer concretesolutions for reaching thosegoals. Chanting protestscan only take you so far.
And the real push willhave to come from theU.S. Canada is simply toosmall a place, and a muchtoo comfortable place forit to offer anything morethan tepid support for suchchange.
Keith Baldrey is chiefpolitical correspondent forGlobal BC.
Last Friday evening I was at the Brighouse Library having agreat time talking to staff and my children were happily lookingat books. Imagine my horror when arriving back at my vehicle,my son came running to me hysterically saying that the windowhad been smashed in and my purse was stolen.
Luckily, a wonderful man who worked at the library cameout to help me and let me use his cell phone to call the police.
I have been told by numerous people that I am lucky myfamily is safe and the items in my purse can be replaced. Butam I that lucky?
The broken window was in a courtesy vehicle because Ihad been in an accident three weeks ago. That window cost me$300 deductible, which was not what I could afford to pay. Thiswas money that was supposed to pay my hydro and keep foodon my table until pay day. Luckily B.C. Hydro let me postponemy payment until the next pay day.
My children’s identification was in that pink purse and thatwill cost me more to replace, not to mention their personal infois out there somewhere. On top of that the thief stole my wintercoat so now I don’t have one or the money to buy a new one!
So anyone out there, if you come across some children’sidentifications in plastic pouches, please return them to thefront desk in the library or put it through the book return slotand it will be anonymous. If you are indeed the one that brokein, do you have a conscience?
Please return the items, keep the coat if you must.Obviously you don’t know me or care, but you put my familythrough a second trauma in three weeks.
I am a single mom who works darned hard full time to keepa roof over our heads and the hydro connected. Why do youpresume that you can just take from me?
All this painful process netted you $6 in change, if that!J. Hutton

The Editor,I was surprised to read in a local daily that our mayor
and the councillors refused to commit to reduce prop-erty taxes when a commitment for reduction of prop-erty taxes was sought by the Canadian Federation ofIndependent Business based in Vancouver.
They also refused an independent audit.I am not voicing concern on behalf of business
people. My concern is why the people we have electedrefuse to commit.
Are these people representing electorates?Once they are elected, they seem to act as if they own
the place.There is a need for a conscious effort to reduce the
council expenses so that the taxpayers get some relief.At the moment, the property prices in Richmond are
at their peak. Looking at the new developments, onewould think that the revenue would have increased tre-mendously.
This should be reflected by a reduction of our shareof taxes and the cost of services. Instead, it is going up.
Now that we have a chance to elect new people tothe council and to the post of mayor, we should ask theaspiring candidates for their commitment to run theoperation as directors of a corporation elected by share-holders and be responsible to the electorates.
Give us a commitment for transparency and be trulyresponsible to the people who put you there.
We need a total change and perhaps the new peopleshould also take action to put in place a rule that nonobody should be allowed to serve more than two terms.

Maintaining a vehicle is a great way tostay safe on the road while extending thecar’s life.
Routine maintenance can keep a car run-ning like new for years as long as vehicleowners stay on top of things and stick to a
maintenance schedule.Most drivers are aware of when to get
their oil changed and other fluids checked,but not all drivers know how to maintaintheir vehicle’s tires.
Proper tire maintenance makes a car safer
for drivers and their passengers and caneven pad a driver’s pocket with a little extramoney.
! Routinely check tire pressure:The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration notes that tire-related crashesare most often caused by under-inflated tires.Under-inflation isn’t always caused by a
leak. In fact, gradual loss of pressure is natu-ral, particularly when the seasons changeand temperatures dip. An under-inflated tiremakes handling difficult and can even causestructural damage to a vehicle.Drivers should check their vehicle’s tire
pressure at least once a month. Those whohave long commutes should check their tirepressure more frequently, and it’s always agood idea to check tire pressure before andafter a long road trip.Recommended tire pressures are listed in
the owner’s manual.
! Look for abnormal wear and tear:Tires will wear down over time, gradually
losing tread. However, drivers should inspecttires for excessive wear and tear, whichcould be indicative of other issues, including
under-inflation and alignment problems withsteering and suspension.
Additional issues to look for includebulges or cracks on the sidewalls or treadand any signs of a punctured tire.
Stay safe with tire maintenance
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Tire maintenance, such as routine tirepressure checks, is essential for safe driving.
Most drivers have heardof tire rotation but might notknow how often tires shouldbe rotated or even whyrotation is necessary. Theowner’s manual will solvethe first problem, identifyinghow often tires should berotated (most suggest every6,000 miles).
As for why it’s good torotate tires, doing so helpsachieve even tread andextend the life of the tires.Tires are expensive, androtation can help drivers getmore bang for their buck.
Drivers of front-wheeldrive vehicles will noticetheir front tires wear downfaster than their rear tires.
That’s because the fronttires are doing most of thework, bearing the brunt ofthe force of braking, steeringand driving. Rotating tireseffectively levels the playingfield.
! Stay balanced:Sometimes tires become
unbalanced. When takinga car in for routine mainte-
nance, ask the mechanic tosee if there are any issuesregarding balance.
Out of balance tires cancause significant issuesthat stretch beyond justuneven tread wear. An outof balance tire can weardown the vehicle’s suspen-sion.
When driving at high-way speeds, drivers mightnotice a considerablethumping. This is oftenindicative of an out of bal-ance tire.
! Stay cool:Sudden tire failure can
often be traced back tooverheated tires. A tire canoverheat for a number ofreasons, including aggres-sive driving.
Frequently driving oncoarse surfaces or at highspeeds can also increasestire temperatures, as doesambient temperature.
Driving at high speedson a very hot day increasesthe risk of sudden tire fail-ure, as does driving at highspeeds on coarse surfaces.
To reduce tire tem-
perature, avoid doing thesethings simultaneously.
If it’s an especially hotday, for example, don’tdrive aggressively andmaintain lower speeds.
! Don’t mix and match:A vehicle’s balance can
be affected significantlyif owners mix and matchtheir tires. Having differenttires on the left and rightsides is likely to upset acar’s balance.
When installing tires,do so in front or rear pairsor even complete sets.Pairs should also be thesame size, brand and type,and should have the sametread wear as well.
Should one tire go bad,it’s almost always worth itto buy two tires.
When buying two,always put the two newtires on the rear wheels,regardless of which typeof transmission the vehiclehas.
The rear wheels needmaximum traction so thevehicle can remain stable.

Linda Reid, Richmond East MLAand deputy speaker of the LegislativeAssembly, was a 31-year-old elementaryschool teacher when she first ran forpublic office.
“I was teaching special needs chil-dren at Woodward elementary and I hada strong conviction, which I still holdtoday, that we could do a better job ineducation and in the health of our chil-dren,” said Reid, explaining why shechose to run.
That was 20 years ago. Monday, inthe B.C. Legislature, Michael de Jong,Speaker of the House, acknowledgedReid’s accomplishments.
In 1991, Reid successfully ran in herinaugural bid for office. Since then, shehas been re-elected four times, makingthe seasoned politician the longest serv-
ing MLA in the house.Over two decades, the 51-year-old
mother of two has worn many politi-cal hats, including Minister of State forChildcare and Opposition Caucus Chair.
Some of the local issues Reid haschampioned include funding for theSalvation Army Rotary Hospice House,the Canada Line and scholarships foreach of the high schools in her riding.
When asked about one of her high-lights of her two-decade political career,Reid said, “When I received the keysto the front door of the LegislativeAssembly of B.C. … It was an awe-inspiring moment.”
To this day, Reid said she still getsan adrenaline rush from being part ofthe provincial political system.
“Politics is always about moving for-ward and getting things done … it nevergets tired,” she added.
She has lived in Richmond for 32years with her husband of 14 years,Sheldon Friesen, and children Will,seven, and 11-year-old Olivia.
“Sheldon has been my staunchestsupporter, he’s as steady as a rock,”said Reid. “My whole family has beenincredibly supportive.”
To celebrate her 20th anniversary ofpublic service, a party is being plannedfor next month.

It was the roaring twenties.The Great Gatsby era was a time when
jazz music came to its own and the flapper— the new breed of woman who startedwearing shorter skirts, bobbed their hair,smoked and snubbed their nose at properetiquette — redefined women’s rights.
To celebrate its 35th anniversary, theRichmond Women’s Resource Centre(RWRC) is hosting The Great Gatsby, agala fundraiser this Saturday, Oct. 22.
“Every year we host a fundraiser toraise money for our programs and servicesbut since it’s our 35th year in Richmondwe decided to host an evening gala,” saidColleen Glynn, president of the RWRC.“This year, we wanted to kick it up anotch and really have fun at the sametime.
“Hopefully, we can raise a few thou-sand for our new immigrant programs andour English conversation classes for highschool students.”
Although things have changed forwomen since the 1920s, there is an impor-tant need for the RWCR, a nonprofit orga-nization aimed at improving the lives ofwomen in their community and in societyat large.
“Our mandate is to empower womento be the best they can be and that meansproviding them a safe environment wherethey can come and find the resources orreferrals they need,” added Glynn. “Withall the cuts from the provincial and federalgovernment, now more than ever, we needto fundraise even more.”
In fact, RWRC has expanded manyof its programs and services to cover thegrowing need, including its peer supportprograms.
“We had just under 5,000 visits lastyear to our centre,” she added. “Lately,we are getting a lot more questions aboutaffordable housing … there is definitelya demand here in Richmond for our ser-vices.”
The Great Gatsby, Glynn promises,will be a fun night out, with very fewspeeches, lots of dancing and good music.
Glynn also encourages people to dress
up.Richmond dancer, singer and actress
Sibel Thrasher will don her glitziest blackfringed dress and lots of bling (jewelry)for her act with The James Dean Trio.
“I can’t wait to perform with the bandbecause they are a great, talented group ofmusicians,” said Thrasher.
The seasoned artist has been perform-ing for decades.
Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, shebegan performing professionally at the
tender age of six.“I remember doing the leaf dance,”
quipped Thrasher, referring to a children’sdance where the dancers imitate leaves.
She came to B.C. to appear alongsideThe Platters (a vocal doo wop group fromLos Angeles) in 1981 and never left.
“I just fell in love with B.C.,” saidThrasher, who still appears regularly at theRiver Rock Casino Resort’s Lulu Lounge,Vancouver’s Sylvia Hotel and for lots ofprivate functions.
Thrasher’s resume is impressive.She has recorded in New York with
legendary artist Roy Ayers, and in Canadawith the late Long John Baldry andLinton Garner.
Along with performing with thePlatters in the U.S.A., Japan and thePhilippines, this dynamo traveled as a jazzand R&B singer in the cruise ship indus-try and still headlines Sibel Thrasher andThe Gospel Explosion.
She also finds time to volunteer at anumber of fundraising events across theLower Mainland, including The GreatGatsby, Motown Meltdown and many oth-ers in and around the Lower Mainland.
Along with her stage and musicalachievements, Thrasher has starred inmovie, television and commercial produc-tions.

Sockeyes win first battle of PIJHL heavyweightsShutout streak ends at six games but impressive start leads Richmond to 5-3 victory over the Delta Ice Hawks
For at least one night theRichmond Sockeyes were pushedto the limit with the game’s out-come hanging in the balance untilthe final minute of play.
Don’t be surprised if it doesn’thappen again until Nov. 5.
That’s when the Sockeyes andDelta Ice Hawks meet again forround two of their season long warand it’s a good bet the defendingPacific International Junior HockeyLeague champions will be bringinga perfect 13-0 record into that tilt.
After destroying its competitionand producing an unthinkable sixconsecutive shutouts, Richmondwas at last tested in a 5-3 win overDelta in front of over 500 fans lastThursday at Minoru Arena. Thehosts jumped out to an early 3-0lead but needed an empty net goalwith 10 seconds remaining fromcaptain Patrick Hunter to turn backan impressive Ice Hawks’ come-back.
“Obvious the start to our seasonhas been fantastic and this gamegave us a good idea of what weneed to work on,” said Sockeyeshead coach Judd Lambert. “Wecertainly know what to expectagainst them. It’s no secret they aregoing to try and be physical andwe have to get use to playing thatstyle of game.”
The problem for Lambert andthe rest of the Sockeyes is noone has come close to provid-ing the kind of challenge the IceHawks threw at them. Perhaps theAbbotsford Pilots are also capable,but the rest of the league appearsto be miles behind and that’s aconcern with 35 regular games stillremaining between now and mid-February.
“We play who we play and wehave to stay focus on what we aredoing,” continued Lambert. “Idon’t know what the answer is butfor sure we would like to see theleague more competitive. It doesn’tdo us or Delta any good winninggames by six or seven goals allseason.”
The Sockeyes looked to be ontheir way to another lopsided winafter first period goals by MatthewWagner, Rudi Thorsteinson andHunter opened up a comfortablelead. Aaron Merrick finally brokeRichmond’s shutout streak with apower play tally but Justin Rai’ssecond period goal restored thecushion and chased Ice Hawksstarting goalie Doug Birks.
The visitors settled down andbattled their way back into strik-ing distance. Captain Cody Smithscored just 17 seconds after Rai’stally, then pulled his team within agoal when he converted a nice feedfrom Spencer Traher, seven min-utes into the third period. The IceHawks came close to equalizing,including a Traher blast hitting thebase of the goal post.
“I thought we came out sluggishfor the first 10 minutes then madesome adjustments that allowed usto really take control at times,” saidIce Hawks assistant coach BayneKoen. “You are bitter with theresult but happy with the effort.
“All eyes in the league were onthis game tonight. Richmond cameout prepared and give them credit.We at least have some things tobuild on.”
The loss snapped the IceHawks’ six game win streak butthey too should be feasting ontheir opponents before seeing theSockeyes again.
“I saw the same thing (in theB.C. Hockey League) when I was
coaching in Prince George,” saidKoen of the disparity. “The bigthing is recruitment and whereguys want to go. These are the twoorganizations that (players) havetheir mind set on and they want toplay.”
For the Sockeyes, Lambert washappy his young players got to,
at last see, the real challenges ofjunior “B” hockey.
“We talked about (what toexpect) before the game but talkis cheap and you don’t really get afull picture until you get out thereand see how big and aggressivethey are.
“We were good at times and
other times ineffective. It justwasn’t our young guys too. We justhadn’t played a team yet with thatkind of size, aggressiveness andthe skill that they have.”
The Sockeyes return to actionon Thursday night when theGrandview Steelers visit MinoruArena at 7:30 p.m.
