Potatoes pilfered from plots $5,000 theft

Matthew Hoekstra photo Richmond’s Ron Mercer has built what he believes to be the largest backyard ramp in the country.

Backyard boasts ‘ramp paradise’ BMX ramp facility the size of hockey rink took three years to build by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Ron Mercer describes it as a private backyard ramp paradise. This is the Woodyard, a place where wheelies, alley-oop grinds and ice picks reign on the plywood. The 44-year-old Richmond father of three built the ultimate bicycle motocross ramp course on his rented half-acre property. All this BMX bless-

edness is sandwiched fence-to-fence in the home’s backyard—the location of which Mercer prefers to keep a secret—about the size of a hockey rink. It took three years of long days to build, and it’s still a work-in-progress. He used salvaged wood to construct the masterpiece, a good chunk courtesy of the scrapped Saskatchewan pavilion from the 2010 Winter Olympics. Mercer’s built other ramps in the past, but build-

ing this one still took plenty of trial-and-error. “It’s very complex. It’s like Leonardo da Vinci stuff. I wasted a lot of wood.” Building the ramp—and riding it every day—is a thrill he shares with his kids, and neighbours of the secluded lot don’t seem to mind. “This is like 10 years in trying to set a precedent—that something like this should be allowed, accepted and encouraged,” he said. See Page 6

Potato thieves have dug up an estimated 2,250 kilograms of a Richmond farmer’s crop. Bill Zylmans said he noticed the vegetables missing from three of his South Richmond fields 10 days ago. The stolen crop is about the size of a football field. “We’re really at a loss,” said Zylmans. “It could have been a large family, it could have been a group of people, it could have been for personal use, it could have been for resale. We have no idea.” In the past, local berry farmers have reported small quantities of fruit disappearing from their fields, and Zylmans himself has seen the odd bunch of vegetables swiped from his land. But this is the first time he’s been hit by a crop theft of this magnitude. “We’ve had small thefts in the past... but this one was over the top.” Zylmans estimates the theft at $5,000 in damages and lost revenue. Anyone with information regarding the theft is asked to contact Richmond RCMP at 604-2781212 or Crime Stoppers. —Matthew Hoekstra

Milestone for eatery inspection website Kitchens feel heat from 10-yearold health authority website by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter It’s been a decade since locals first gained online access to Lower Mainland restaurant inspection reports. And Richmond restaurants have been getting the message—judging from the downward trend in healthrelated closures in Richmond in recent years—that nothing short of topnotch cleanliness and adherance to food safety practices will be acceptable to discerning local residents or visitors to the island city. More than 15,000 visitors now check Vancouver Coastal Health Authority’s online restaurant inspection reports each year, where a restaurant’s reputation can be tarnished on the basis of a single inspection and the ensuing publicity that comes from something like a cockroach- or mice-infestationrelated closure. With hundreds of restaurants in Richmond serving up thousands of meals every day to millions of people each year, there’s plenty at stake. Dalton Cross, an inspector from Richmond’s Health Protection Office, said putting restaurant inspection reports into the public realm was a decision made in response to a growing number of freedom of information requests 10 years ago. “Prior to that, everything we did was confidential,” Cross said, adding that in those days, inspections used to be hand-written. “Now, it’s a matter of... it’s all out there. I think it’s benefited

everyone.” Changes to freedom of information laws dictated that access to this information was available to those who requested it. The writing was on the wall, Cross said, so managers decided to make it generally accessible to the public. Putting the inspection reports online led to other positive changes, such as changing procedures to ensure consistency in reporting, making the terminology used during the inspections more consistent between individual inspectors, and instituting a system where higher risk establishments were inspected more frequently. And the decision was made to shy away from subjective rating systems implemented by other health departments at the time. Rather, the public was invited to draw its own conclusions from what the inspectors observed and learned. And the criteria for shutting down an eatery was made less discretionary, and based on specific enforcement guidelines, Cross said. The general trend in recent years has been a reduction in the number of annual closures. So far, in 2012, five restaurants have been closed, with three of those from the Richmond Night Market over unsanitary conditions, and one of the five involved no access to hot water. Last year by this time of year, there were already 11 closures, six involving pest infestations, and three involving

improper dishwashing. In 2010, there were 15 closures by this time of year, 14 involving pest infestation and/or unsanitary conditions. In 2009, the year-to-date number was 16 closures, 13 involving pest infestation and/or unsanitary conditions. Cross credited the media with helping to put pressure on restaurants to comply with cleanliness requirements.

“That has a great beneﬁcial effect, especially naming restaurants that have been closed,” Cross said. Overall, between increased awareness, regular inspections and enforcement, and public pressure, restaurateurs are toeing the line. And that’s having a positive impact. “Deﬁnitely, that’s what we are seeing,” Cross said of the general downturn in closures.

Not only a restaurants doing a better job, they are in turn putting pressure on their food suppliers, who can sometimes be the source of problems. With food stored in warehouses that are sometimes also the source of pest infestations, sometimes a perfectly clean restaurant can unwittingly bring a problem into their business simply by accepting warehouse supplies.

Faregates installed but dormant until 2013 $100 million system aimed at fare evaders by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

Martin van den Hemel photo Matt Michaels installs a faregate system at Bridgeport Station Wednesday night. Installation will be complete this week, but the system won’t be up and running until next summer.

Some shiny new hardware was installed this week at the Bridgeport Station of the Canada Line, which is expected to be a thorn in the side of would-be fare evaders while comforting those with a disdain for mathematics and providing some additional security for everyone. Work began Wednesday to install the paddleboard-style gates, which let transit users in and out with a swipe of a special fare card containing an electronic chip. The installation of the $100 million system—which will operate on Canada, Expo and Millennium line stations and SeaBus terminals—began two weeks ago, with the work shifting to Richmond on Wednesday. Richmond’s remaining Canada Line stations are expected to have their faregates installed by the end of September. The installation work will continue at the remaining part of the Lower Mainland transit system through the spring of next year, but the faregate system won’t be active and operational until the late summer of 2013. The new system will incorporate Compass card readers, which will record when a person begins their transit journey, and then obtain payment when they exit the system.

That means users will no longer have to scratch their heads to figure out the number of zones they are travelling before entering the system. Rather, the Compass card will do the math for them, and won’t bill them until they’re exiting at their final destination. Transit users will be able to upload virtual cash onto their compass cards, and simply swipe their card to gain access to the transportation route. In the event their Compass card is running on empty, there will be a visual alerting system to warn them that they’re running out of virtual dough. In the future, there’s the possiblity that people will be able to use their cell phones to access the transit system and pay for their fares. This style of faregate system is already operational in other large cities, including Atlanta and San Francisco. “We’re bringing a new convenience for customers, while helping to ensure every customer is paying their fare and feels safe on the system,” TransLink chief executive officer Doug Kelsey said during the installation of the first faregate at the Marine Drive station earlier this month. The province is picking up $40 million of the tab for the faregates, with Ottawa chipping in with $30 million and TransLink picking up the remainder of the tab, which is expected to reach as much as $100 million for the faregates and station improvements.

CORNER OF BLUNDELL AND SIDAWAY (look for the red barn) RICHMOND, BC

by Jamie Peng Contributor For Emmy Lau’s birthday party, she asked for no gifts. She raised $7,000 for the Richmond Schoolyard Society instead. Her daughter, Anita Lau, who works as a teacher at Mitchell Elementary School, is an advocate of growing healthy eating habits, especially at inner city schools where fresh produce can be hard to obtain. “Especially in our school population, the kids don’t get a lot of healthy, fresh

food,” she says. Anita had hoped to make fresh food more accessible by working with the Richmond Schoolyard Society to plant a garden right on school grounds. But the school lacked funding. “We haven’t had enough money to have our own property, so we use the East Richmond Community Garden,” Anita says. “Our dream was to expand it so every child in the school can experience it.” So when Emmy’s 70th birthday came around, Emmy did the generous act of helping her daughter and the kids of her community. About 200 people gathered at the Unitarian Church of Vancouver for what Emmy called “A Night of Celebration of Song.” Friends, family members, and fellow members of her choir, the Morning Star

Singers, joined Emmy on stage to sing a medley of songs. But what really stood out about the event was that she requested donations to the Richmond Schoolyard Society instead of asking for gifts. The response was more than she and Anita could have ever expected. “We weren’t expecting this much,” says Anita, in regards to the $7,000 raised for her school. “It was a huge surprise.” With the prosperous outcome of Emmy’s birthday celebration, Mitchell Elementary can now afford the improvements Anita has longed for. “We’re going to bring the garden onto school grounds,” says Anita. “We only had about three classes who were involved, but now this opens the doors to all the

kids at the school.” The Richmond Schoolyard Society works with schools to plant gardens and educate students on healthy eating and food sustainability. The program is built to give an understanding on the overall process of food production, consumption, and disposal. “Children are more aware of the complete food system,” says founder Ian Lai. “They will appreciate what it takes for food to come to the table.” The program is partnering with the Shaughnessy/ Greenacres Richmond Children’s and Youth Endowment Fund to present the ﬁrst annual golf tournament and dinner at Greenacres Golf Course on Sept. 6.

Premier of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bleedingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; party not likely to give up by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Despite a slew of resignations from Christy Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cabinet this week, a former Richmond MLA and supporter of the embattled premier is still backing her ahead of the next election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been difďŹ cult for her, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the ďŹ rst to admit that. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly had her challenges inheriting the HST debacle, but I really believe sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good leader,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Ken Johnston, who served as a Liberal MLA with Clark from 2001 to 2005. On Wednesday, Kevin Falcon resigned as finance minister and announced he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seek another term in May. Education Minister George Abbott and Children and Family Development Minister Mary McNeill followed on Thursday. Longtime Liberal MLA John Les also announced he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run again. Johnston, who backed Clark in her successful Liberal party leadership bid, said he expects more long-serving MLAs to make similar announcements, considering the

demands of the job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m astounded people last as long as they do, to be blunt about it, considering the demands on your time.â&#x20AC;? Johnston suggested the resignations are a loss for the party, but also present an opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to lose a great performer on anything, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a team, in business or in politics,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But politics is about renewal; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about new people stepping forward.â&#x20AC;? The premier also has the support of at least two of Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MLAs. On Thursday, the B.C. Liberal Party released a list of 11 returning MLAs who have candidate selection meetings bookedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a formality prior to the May 14, 2013 election. RichmondSteveston MLA John Yap and Richmond East MLA Linda Reid are on the list, but Richmond Centre MLA Rob Howard isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at least not yet. None returned calls by press time, though all three told The Review earlier this summer they would run again. Political science instructor and Richmond resident Allan Warnke said the party

is experiencing â&#x20AC;&#x153;severe bleedingâ&#x20AC;? now that Clark has lost ministers in two key portfolios, including Falcon, who represented the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conservative faction. Clark is now tasked with ďŹ nding replacements who are not only competent but respected among their peers, said Warnke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That hurts Christy Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government and hurts her chances. So this hurts her ability to get re-elected next year,â&#x20AC;? he said. Warnke, who served as a Liberal MLA in Steveston from 1991 to 1996, said

even if Clark is urged to step aside as leader of the party, she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t concede defeat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to give this up for the good of the party or anything like that. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that kind of person,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see her giving up, no matter what kind of pressure is placed on her.â&#x20AC;? Other Liberals whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve declared theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pulling the plug next spring include Bill Barisoff, Harry Bloy, Murray Coell, Dave Hayer, Kash Heed and Kevin Krueger.

Largest backyard ramp in country From Page 1 Mercer is a former competitive BMX rider who became an advocate of safety equipment. He spent a decade performing a comedy routine in schools to stress the importance of safety gear like helmets and pads. Now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a carpenter and proud to boast what he believes to be the biggest ramp around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve consistently had the largest backyard ramp for the last years, probably in Canada.â&#x20AC;?

n C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the young Lucy pries open a door and finds herself in a world quite unlike the one she’s used to. Similarly, Yvette Lu takes audiences into a

different world, through the eyes of a young woman who enters a closet of her own— one of chronic illness. Lu, a family doctor and actor, is presenting a dramatic reading of her play, Stories from the Closet, on Sept. 12 in Richmond, as part of Invisible Illness Awareness Week, organized by Richmond Centre for Disability. The play examines what life is like for those who live with chronic illness.

Lu, a Burnaby resident with a medical practice in Surrey, developed the script through patient interviews, research and personal experience. It’s an 80-minute (it’ll be pared down for the Richmond reading) one-woman play featuring a series of monologues written for medical professionals, patients and anyone else touched by chronic illness.

arts & entertainment Yvette Lu, a family doctor, will present a dramatic reading of her one-woman play Stories from the Closet, on Sept. 12 at Richmond Hospital.

Patients get voice From Page 8 And most people, Lu said, know someone with a chronic condition—depression, fibromyalgia, bipolar disorder, lupus, diabetes and chronic pain being a few—if they don’t suffer from one themselves. The diagnosis of a chronic illness is a dramatic disruption in a person’s life, and physical symptoms are only a part of that, according to Lu. Isolation, stigmatization, a loss of self can all come with a diagnosis— along with having hopes and dreams disrupted. Lu said she wrote the play to give a voice to patients. She’s presented several dramatic readings of Stories from the Closet for different audiences, and plans to present it to medical students this fall. Her Richmond reading is part of an event that also features a performance by the Stand Up for Mental Health group, run by comedian and family counsellor David Grainier. Besides her work in theatre, Lu completed two films this summer: Alive and Kicking, a documentary about two taekwondo athletes; and Fantomes, a short film about a black-ops agent who struggles with her decision to keep an unexpected pregnancy. In January, Lu will be back on stage starring in The Theory of Everything by Prince Gomolvilas, a play about the Asian immigrant experience in North America. The Richmond Review asked Lu about her life practising medicine and the arts. How challenging is balancing medicine with arts? “Medicine and the arts have always been very important to me. Being a doctor makes me a better artist and vice versa. The skills of empathy and listening are key to both professions, as is being involved in people’s stories. As artists, we take stories and bring them to life. As doctors, we listen carefully to stories and use our expertise to find ways to help people.” See Page 11

serious illness. “Because illness is such a personal journey, it is hard to communicate the experience to even close family and friends, and I thought that it was important to give voice to these stories.”

What inspired Stories From the Closet? “Chronic illness is pervasive and often hidden or invisible. As a family doctor, many of the people I see in my practice have a chronic illness, and if you stop for a moment and think, most people will be able to think of a least one, and likely several people in their family or close circle of acquaintances who have a chronic or

How and when did you create the play? “The play was created in 2006-2007 as a research project. It is a research-based play, meaning content was derived partly from interviews with patients and from ﬁndings in the research literature. It is composed of 10 monologues, each of which deals with different aspects of chronic illness such as chronic fatigue,

medication side effects and social isolation.” You refer to chronic illness as “another world.” Why? “When you develop a chronic illness, your life can change very dramatically. It often feels to people like they have left their old life behind and entered a new world. The changes they experience in their lives are huge—they can be limited by energy, they can lose their job, they can lose all their friends, they can lose their entire identity. As I say in the play, it feels like a bomb has exploded and pieces of their lives are scattered everywhere. “Part of the process of dealing with chronic

illness is learning to pick up the pieces that are left and learning how to put them back together into something that works.”

Any aspirations to see it produced on stage? “Yes, at most readings, I have feedback forms and the response has been overwhelmingly

positive. I would love to see it on stage in the future. However, it also works very well as an audio drama, which is why I have focused on

dramatic readings. It is much more portable as an audio drama and can be read in any venue without need for lighting, costumes and sets.”

PUBLISHER MARY KEMMIS, 604-247-3702 publisher@richmondreview.com

EDITORIAL: Taxpayers fund B.C.’s carbon trust

n occasion government spin slips into a deceptive state and that is where B.C.’s muchlauded “carbon neutral” status resides today. In the annual report of the government-controlled Paciﬁc Carbon Trust we read this claim: “The most notable accomplishment of the last ﬁscal year...was the achievement of carbon neutrality for the provincial government.” In fact, our carbon neutral status is really a tax-shifting sleight of hand dispensing corporate welfare

to less-than-needy business barons. In 2007, the government called on its agencies to reduce carbon emissions to zero, but that would be an accounting exercise because you can’t operate hospitals and schools without leaving a carbon footprint. So, the government created the Crown corporation to turn the magic of taxation mathematics into a greener B.C. PCT’s job is to ﬁnd public and private money to buy carbon credits and reinvest the cash on greenhouse gas reduction projects. Jordan Bateman, B.C. director of

the Canadian Tax Federation, says, “Only 12 private companies or individuals bought carbon credits last year for a measly $54,050. The rest of the Trust’s $14 million budget was funded exclusively by taxpayers.” On Vancouver Island those tax dollars included $870,000 from the Vancouver Island Health Authority and $58,000 from School District 72 here in Campbell River. That’s our precious tax dollars that should have been earmarked for much needed upgrades to hospital and school infrastructure. Who got the cash last year?

Canfor, Interfor and Lafarge for “switching fuels”; Timberwest for “improved forest management”; and, Encana for “state-of-the-art drilling.” Obviously, these corporate bottomline initiatives would have been undertaken regardless of PCT handouts. In fact, the vast majority of projects were underway before the Trust decided they were worthy of taxpayer support. This is just corporate welfare under the guise of green washing B.C. and it isn’t right. —Campbell River Mirror

the undergrowth disappear and along with that went the birdlife. The pond area is the only place to ﬁnd birdlife and many species have departed from this area. I hope the city will have a crew to pick-up the garbage that will be left behind on a daily basis. Many people come down for exercise and relaxation but I can see this area becoming a city park and not a nature park. As I looked at the construction area I see the possibility of trees being cut down for the maze. The trees that are there should stay, as I noticed a month ago that the great blue herons were coming back and resting in the tree, but with the construction in the works they have left once again. What is in the making for the increase of traffic and parking at Terra Nova? The area is a migratory bird area and should not be disturbed. I think the city should be looking at Garry Point Park for this type of development as the parking lot is there and it has open areas for zip lining and the creation of a maze on the grounds of Garry Point and nothing would be disturbed in this area. I really enjoy my walk around Terra Nova Park on a daily basis but I will have to find another area to enjoy in the near future if this type of planning continues. Dave Kemp Richmond

Editor: A $75 dollar bowl of shark fin is not my cup of Earl Grey, but, at one time it was on my bucket list. But, not no more! I’ve seen the facts and “No soup for me!” So how does one educate one to the facts when the facts are being ignored by others. Well let’s look at what we’ve done to the once sexy, cool looking, hip, widely accepted cigarette. And right from the get-go I’m not comparing the pros and cons of cigarettes to shark fin soup, but how we might deal with the issue of shark fin soup. Now cigarettes are bad for you, but most smokers ignored the info. Shark fin soup is bad, but not for you, just for the shark says the info. With cigarettes we banned all TV ads and made the image of someone smoking on camera just not cool. Smoking was banned from public places and delegated to unattractive, lonely spots outside. The once proud good looking sexy cowboy mounted on his steed lighting up a cancer stick saying :Come to where the flavor is,” while surrounded by 10,000 cattle (never understood that image)

is long gone. With shark fin soup—well, the Discovery Channel would have to cancel Shark Week for a start. Gone are the images of powerful underwater leviathans enticing restaurant patrons to a soup bowl of fin. Flashing their proud erect dorsal fin to a viewership of young potential consumers would be no longer. Shows like this make the shark look powerful smart and invincible. So it only makes sense that by removing just a small part of its anatomy maybe one could attain such prowess. The movie Jaws would be limited to late night viewing only with an ‘R’ rating. Trouble with that is, if you were a purveyor of soup with fins in it, while watching that mighty shark thrash around, you might get the munchies for a hot bowlful! And if the practice of eating shark fin soup prevailed in restaurants it would have to be consumed on the exterior of the building sharing an overhang, shielded from the rain with the last remaining smokers. Yes good people lets unite! Let’s make it look uncool to slurp down on a hot bowlful of the tiny tip of a once great ancient beast. It will be something the smokers will unite with us on. Let’s put a ban on shark fin soup! How we do it? Well, I suggested one way. If you want to ride

Terra Nova Park construction Editor: For years now I have been photographing and wondering about Terra Nova and have seen all the changes that have occurred over the years, some good and some not. Recently, I ventured down to Terra Nova Park to photograph nature and was wondering what was going on at the park (construction wise). I called the parks branch and was informed that we are now going to have a play area which includes a aip line, maze and a tree climbing area. In the spring I would photograph hummingbirds feeding on the blossoms of the blackberry bushes, apple blossoms and eating insects to feed their young. With the cutback of these bushes and the increase of human’s pursuits, we will see less of these amazing birds at Terra Nova Park. Over the years I have watched

Library honours philanthropist

MEET THE NEW BUDGET! After 35 years in Surrey we are proud to open our 2nd location in historic Steveston!

Dr. Kwok-Chu Lee has been a supporter of Richmond Public Library since 1995 by Don Fennell

Gino Floreano Owner

Staff Reporter Dr. Kwok-Chu Lee was at loss for words when asked what it meant to be honoured Wednesday by the Richmond Public Library, which he has generously supported since 1995. All he could say was “thank you.” Lee—who now spends most of his time in Hong Kong—was lauded by political and library officials for his extensive donations to the library as well as conducting many successful informational seminars and fundraising activities. In 2011, Lee donated 47,000 Chinese language books which has been described by rare book dealer Bjarne Tokerud as a “national treasure.” His cash and book donations exceed $1.53 million. Speaking through an interpreter, Lee said, “I’m really happy to be here today, and I have this opportunity to be on this stage because of my father. My father valued learning a great deal and that influenced me. I have many books still in Hong Kong and I’d like to get them here for the library.” Lee said he hopes to donations will help everyone gain a better understanding and knowledge of the Chinese culture. “Most of the books I donated are about Chinese history, literature and philosophy,” he said. Lee originally donated 1,800 Chinese language books to the library in 1995. Born into a wealthy family in Guangdong, China in 1931, his father died when Lee was only 14 years old. His eldest brother took control of the family fortune and Lee was forced to discontinue his education to work as a labourer. Despite the instability and hardship, his appreciation for education and knowledge led him to pursue studies in literature, classics, history and philosophy as well as painting and calligraphy. The help and encouragement he received from librarians in China convinced him of the important role public libraries play in promoting and supporting self-education. Through determination, hard work and creativity, he was able to rebuild his fortune. He became a successful businessman, well-known author, editor, calligrapher, painter and art scholar and established a literary magazine called The Literati and the Southern Book Company of Hong Kong which specializes in publishing books of literature. His own work, under the pen names of Master Lam Chun and Lam Chun, is widely read by people from Hong Kong and Canada. One of his famous martial arts novels, Huo Yuanjia, was made into a popular TV drama.

Textile artists, photographers unite for show The Textile Arts Guild of Richmond and the Richmond Photo Club have joined forces to create a new art exhibition at the Richmond Cultural Centre. Textures: An Appreciation is on throughout September in the rotunda at Richmond Cultural Centre, on the second ﬂoor, home of the arts centre. The way the exhibition was put together could be as unique as the works themselves.

With works of the guild ranging in size from a small beaded bracelet to a king-size bed quilt, members faced a question: How could such a range of work be shown in a narrow, compressed space with curved walls? The Richmond Photo Club had the answer. Photo club members created 11-by-14-inch photos of each textile piece in the exhibition, and then matted and framed each photo to produce a uniﬁed display.

Textures: An Appreciation •A new exhibition by the Textile Arts Guild of Richmond and the Richmond Photo Club, Sept. 1 to 31 at Richmond Arts Centre In the public exhibition, viewers will discover two types of creativity on display: the original

textile art piece and a photographer’s unique view—sometimes of the whole work, sometimes of a selected area or unusual angle. The exhibition also includes some photos by the club’s members on the theme of textures. While at the display, viewers are welcome to enter a draw for prizes that include utility bags made by the guild from recycled Richmond street banners.

Kinky sexts can be criminal: police by Anushka Kurian Youth Reporter

“I didn’t think he would send me a nude picture of himself. I’d never even met him in person.” At 14 years old, Anne—name changed for privacy—admits that she “sexts” teenage boys regularly. Anne thought sending provocative, sensual messages was harmless at first but it had consequences she didn’t foresee. She received inappropriate images in return and unwittingly committed a criminal code violation in the process. After friends passed on her number to an interested boy, they began messaging each other. The correspondence turned sexual and soon enough, “he sent me a nude picture of himself,” she said. “I was grossed out at first, I hadn’t expected it and I hadn’t wanted it. I thought it was a joke, some pictures he sent me off of Google, so I showed my friends and it became a joke for us. But then he asked me for pictures of myself back.” Anne refused to send pictures of herself back to the boy. She had shared his pictures to people he didn’t know, and didn’t want him to return the favour: “I didn’t want some creepy guy I’ve never met having those kind of private pictures of me and showing his friends the pictures I sent him.” Anne kept her story private, not sharing the situation with anyone other than her close friends.

She did not delete the pictures. Getting unpleasant nude pictures wasn’t the only problem. Anne didn’t realize the pictures she received are a form of child pornography, and could have resulted in both of them being criminally charged. “Child pornography (is)...a criminal code charge and will give you a criminal record if found guilty,” said Richmond RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Sherrdean Turley. “Once a photo has been taken and distributed, there’s no way of controlling where the photo goes from there.” But why do teens send such intimate pictures in the first place? “It’s something that happens between two people in an intimate relationship,” Turley said. “But when the relationship turns sour (and ends) the photos can sometimes be used against them as blackmail or to ruin their reputation.” Anne, however, remains neutral to the topic. When asked if she thought sending nude pictures was wrong or inappropriate, Anne indifferently said: “Maybe. It might seem wrong to an adult, but when you’re a teenager, it isn’t really a big deal. It wasn’t an issue for me, that’s why I didn’t bother telling an adult.” She refused to send any pictures of herself to the boy, but he continued sending pictures of himself hoping she would change her mind. “I received a total of 8 pictures over the course of a month. I was

getting sick of the pictures, so I told him I didn’t want to talk to him anymore. I finally stopped getting messages from him,” she said. But Anne did not delete the pictures she had of the boy until forced to

do so by her friends. She defends that she had not kept them for her herself to look at, but in case the whole thing became an issue. So what should youth do when confronted with this situation?

Turley advises local teens to “advise a parent and notify the police,” if a nude picture is received. She added teens should “not share the photo with anyone else and tell the sender not to send any more.”

OUR CITY ¦ OUR YOUTH ¦ OUR VIEW ¦ 1 in 3 Vancouver seniors used public transit during previous month: January 2012 StatCan survey.

RVIEW

Is common courtesy no longer common sense? by Angelica Poversky Youth Reporter

Do you offer your seat to elderly people on the bus? Serena McLuskie did exactly that and what happened next shocked her. The Grade 12 student took the Canada Line on the way to Vancouver International Airport recently when she noticed the imbalance and discomfort of an elderly woman and offered her seat. Immediately after the senior sat down, the 17-year-old’s jaw hit the SkyTrain’s floor.

π For some seniors, finding a seat on public transit can be a struggle. SIDNEY GAO PHOTO

The grateful woman looked through her wallet and waved a shiny loonie in front of McLuskie’s befuddled face. “I was shocked, horrified and sad that this lady thought that she had to pay me for doing some-

thing that just seemed like the right thing to do,” she said. “She was just so surprised that I gave up my seat,” said the regular public transit user, who rejected the dollar in dismay. Drew Snider, public information officer for TransLink, explained there is no law stating one must give up their seat to those who

are elderly or disabled. Accommodations at the front of buses are designated “courtesy seats” not “reserved seats”, meaning the sticker is a guideline, not a rule, he said. Jeff Stacey, another local transit user, said he respects those guidelines and always tries to make sure he gives his seat when needed. The 15-year-old said he believes that teenagers, including him, don’t intentionally ignore bus etiquette. “I think that most teenagers just don’t notice that someone needs a seat.” However, a local senior disagrees. The woman said she suffers from vertigo and needs to sit on public transit but is rarely given the chance.

She believes teenagers intentionally neglect her needs. The elderly woman said she’d like to be sitting down in a moving vehicle in case her vertigo strikes. However, she usually hasn’t been accommodated when necessary. She now brings a seated walker to make sure she always has a place to rest on the bus. TransLink’s Snider urged passengers to remain aware of the bus environment. Friendly reminders from neighbours and blue stickers on windows suggest that being mindful and looking up from mobile phones once in a while is important. “If you are able-bodied, give up your seat,” Snider said. “We rely on the sense of decency.”

Shad Valley and BlackBerry giant Research In Motion host an entrepreneurship competition every fall. ¦ OUR CITY ¦ OUR YOUTH ¦ OUR VIEW

Love of learning unites teens nationwide by Bill Cao Youth Reporter

hen I arrived at Shad Valley in July I didn’t know what to expect. The promotional materials claimed it would be a transformational experience that brought together the brightest youth in Canada, but I was worried about living four weeks with 49 other strangers from around the country. What if they were all smarter than me? What if students from Ontario had a completely different culture? What if they didn’t like the way I looked? The ring of a clock interrupted my train of thought. I had to meet the other participants at the courtyard of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Soul-searching questions would have to wait—it was time for the ice-breaking games. But first, I’ll stop to explain what Shad Valley is. It’s a four-week live-in sum-

mer science and entrepreneurship program held at Canadian universities. About 500 youth are picked for the program to learn about marketing and business plan writing. The students conclude the program by developing a product. There’s also time for playing around—field trips occur on weekends. Since I was staying at Dalhousie, my group toured around the maritime area. Back to the courtyard. The image of all 50 of us standing awkwardly in a circle, talking only when necessary or prodded to by the program assistants remains stark in my mind. I guess everyone was as nervous as I was. As the evening went on I noticed that some program assistants were sneaking helpless glances at each other. They couldn’t seem to find a solution to the awkward situation. Everyone was still standing at least a metre apart, and conversation didn’t seem to be break-

ing the ice. The only exchanges seemed to be “Hi! My name is.... Where are you from? (insert Canadian city). That’s cool,” followed by an immediate walk away. This scene was repeated throughout the evening. Finally after the 100th painful introduction, the night mercifully swept in and called us to our separate dorms for sleep. The first day was over. Morning came, and the alarm

blared while I wiped the sleep from my eyes and hit the snooze button. Hopefully day two will be better, I thought to myself, as I slowly got dressed, and made my way to the first class. As the lecturer walked into the room, what happened next changed my entire perspective. The teacher hadn’t said a word, yet everyone had their supplies out, ready to take notes.

This simple act made me realize the kind of people I was with. Back in school it’s pretty common to see students passively listening with words coming in one ear and out the other—even after receiving brow beatings from their instructors. These kids were different. Like me, they were youth who not only cared about attending school but about true

learning. As the lecture went on, the questions started flying and I smiled to myself. I could really connect with these people. We may be from different cultures, cities and grades but we all share the same desire for knowledge. Still smiling I raised my hand to ask another question and looked forward to four more weeks of living right where I belonged. One month later, I can look back on my initial fears and realize how silly they were. Playing football on the soft sand of PEI’s magnificent beaches at sunset while preparing for an evening around the campfire made for long summer nights of friendship and laughter. Staying up till the early hours of the morning working on products—for example, a new exercise toy—really tested the meaning of teamwork. 50 strangers had left as 50 friends who, even though they are now spread all across Canada, share the bond of having gone through a transformational summer together.

Night Market has won the favour of some Richmond teens looking for greater variety of food and a shopper-friendly atmosphere. “It just proves that despite the smaller venue, if you have quality and variety, people will keep on coming back,” Leung said.

The TiE Young Entrepreneurs (TYE) business program is teaching youth to package and sell simple products in an innovative way. The program tasks them with liquidating simple goods with solid marketing—for example, playing on heart strings or a desire to be famous “Business isn’t about what you’re selling, it’s about how you’re selling it,” TYE alumnus Trixie Hernandez said. The program climaxes with a pitch-judging panel reminiscent of the Dragons’ Den TV series. Teams of youth offer their strongest business ideas to a group of venture capitalists and successful entrepreneurs, who choose the best Lower Mainland team. The winners are then sent on an all-inclusive trip to Washington, D.C. to compete in the annual TYE Global Competition, where Richmond teens have shared in the glory. Locals Dayah Johal and Karnpreet Sanghera were part of the team who won the 2011-12 competition, besting 18 other international groups in Atlanta to give the winning pitch.

any Canadians see Labour Day on the calendar and immediately feel some mixed emotions. Though Labour Day is often a time to celebrate at a backyard barbecue with family and friends, to many people it also marks the unofficial end of summer. But Labor Day is more than just barbecues and a sendoff for summer. Labour Day actually dates back to the 19th century. The first Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York. One of the organizers, Peter J. McGuire, a cofounder of the American Federation of Labor and general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, had recently spoken at a Toronto Trades and Labour Council rally. Back in 1872, labour staged a parade was staged in support of the Toronto Typographical Union’s strike for a 58-hour workweek Labour Day became an official Canadian holiday in 1894. Though Labour Day is now a time to gather with family and friends and possibly enjoy some time at the beach or at a barbecue, it’s important for Canadians to recognize both the significance and the history of this special day in September.

Chan B.C. champ

It’s a hit

Express Yourself!

Katherine Chan wins Bantam golf title by Don Fennell Sports Editor Katherine Chan had nothing but praise for the other players following her victory at the B.C. Bantam girls’ championship Sunday in Merritt. “There were a lot of great players out there who could have played better than me,” said the 12-year-old Richmond girl, a member of the Quilchena Golf and Country Club. “I went out there today and just wanted to play my best so it feels great to be the Bantam champion.” Chan carded a final round 5-under par 67 to finish the weekend event at -4 with scores of 73 and 67. “I was pretty lucky (Sunday). I had manyputts that went in so I was happy about that.” Chan scored back-toback birdies on three occasions during her final round and another on the par-4 12th. She offset these with two bogeys coming on the 3rd and 12th hole. The final round at Merritt Golf and Country Club featured perfect golfing conditions on a course that demanded accuracy off the tee and a hot putter, something both champions were victorious in completing. Alisha Lau of Richmond, also 12, and Ashley Cai, 13, of Vancouver posted identical two-round totals of 148 (76-74) to tie for third place, two strokes back of second-place finisher Sumie Francois of Burnaby. Karen Zhang, 12, of Richmond finished 12th at +26 (86-84). Bernie Xu, 12, of Richmond finished 19th overall in the boys’ division won by Callum Davison of Duncan at 5-under par. Xu shot rounds of 106 and 93.

by Don Fennell Sports Editor As the Richmond Senior Soccer Association prepares to kick off its 51st season next week, it looks like the rich have gotten even richer. After a two-year absence earning his engineering degree in Ontario, striker Tanner Mason is back with the defending Challenge Cup champion Islanders FC. His return creates a potentially lethal scoring combination with last year’s Golden Boot winner and team MVP Matteo Serka, and could help lift the Islanders—which last season earned their first-ever berth in the B.C. championships—to the ultimate Provincial Cup prize. Justin Hetu finished strong last season and scored the winning goal in the Challenge Cup final. Manager Alex Venturas hopes he will continue to improve and expects Hetu will be a key to the team’s success. In the six-team Premier Division, Venturas considers every game to a big one. “All the match-ups are rivals, but we (especially) look forward to playing the All Blacks and Athletics who we’ve battled off and on for the last 15 years,” Venturas said. Though his team is always competitive, and enjoyed another solid season in 2011-12, All Blacks’ manager Kyle Shury said, “Our depth failed us at points as injuries stacked up, particularly in the second half of the season.” That was addressed this summer when Shury welcomed the core of the former Club Inter team to its lineup. Rick Sebulsky, Brent Tremayne, Matt Campbell, Justin Hebner and Carl Hanson will add skill and experience as well as depth and help lessen the sting of losing Lee Howarth (a solid fixture on the back line for 20-plus seasons) to retirement. “We’re looking forward to getting on the pitch with the new additions and challenging again for a couple of trophies,” she said. AC Richmond and Jugadores have both earned promotion to the Premier Division. For the former, its the sec-

Islanders FC goalkeeper James Collins proudly hoists the Challenge Cup last March at Minoru Park. The trophy is emblematic of supremacy in the Richmond Senior Soccer Association.

ond year in a row they’ve moved up a division (going from the Second to First last season) and manager Indy Dulay is conﬁdent the team will again show well. “Unfortunately due to the Friday night games we have lost a couple of veterans, but that should be (offset) by the addition of some younger, energetic players coming up from the youth ranks,” he said. AC Richmond will also count on the same consistent performances of established players Jithan Virk, Ramez Alam, Dan Neufeld and Sanj Dhari. All six Premier Division teams will be action under the lights Sept. 12. Islanders and Jugadores will meet at 7 p.m., followed by AC Richmond and the Athletics at 9 p.m. at Minoru Park. All Blacks and DSBH Kelevra will play at 9 p.m. at King George Park. DSBH Hounds and McNair Shooters have both earned promotion to the First Division this season, joining the likes of IFC Insurgency which will be looking to build on a fourth-place ﬁnish a year ago. Hounds’ manager Bogdan Cojocariu knows the level of play will be heightened for the defending President’s

Cup winners, but hopes having the core players back—including Division 2 leading scorer Julius Salemo—will assure the team will at least be competitive. The Hounds have also added former DSBH Kelevra keeper Migual Beltran and a couple of defenders to offset the loss of Shahryiar Thaeri and Connor Sheepwash, both attending Kwantlen Polytechnic University on soccer scholarships and unavailable for at least the start of the season. Insurgency, under the guidance of manager Chad Oyhenart, hopes its strengthened itself with the addition of former 26-goal scorer Chris Laing and another high-scoring veteran in Scott Waters. Games in the 10-team First Division will be played at 11 a.m. Sundays beginning Sept. 9. The 10-team Second Division, including the ﬁrst-year Graduates and McKesson FC, will also play its games Sundays starting Sept. 9, while the ﬁve-team Masters Division (all its players are 35 and older) kicks off its second season on Wednesday, Sept. 19, though games are usually played Thursday nights.

First-time buyers an important market

Appealing to the younger buyer It takes a lot of skill and savvy to market a home. You have to know who you want to reach and how to do it. Several developments in the Lower Mainland have adopted a very chic, very hip approach to reaching their client bases in the past year. The Ultra Urban Village development – located in Surrey’s Central City – has taken a modern approach. The 40-storey, 362-unit tower is just a block away from SFU’s Surrey campus, and marketing manager Joanna Bysterveld says developer WestStone Properties definitely targeted students with Ultra’s marketing, which features ads and websites covered in pink.

“We’re trying to aim toward very chic, very trendy with Ultra,” she says. The homes at Ultra ooze with style. The kitchen cupboards have a vertical wood grain that gives the room a subtle stripe theme. The suites also come with the ultimate hip signifier: undermount sinks, cut right into the granite, that look like they belong in a factory. An amenity centre packs in a theatre room that can be booked for movie nights and hockey parties, and Bysterveld says that has been a hit with younger buyers, who have flocked to the project. For more information, visit urbanvillageliving.com.

He also notes that Portrait’s awardwinning reputation is drawing in buyers. Portrait has won a total of 105 major industry awards, including 27 Gold Georgie Awards, several national SAM Awards and the Avid Diamond Award for Best Customer Service Experience in Canada this year. “People are really wanting peace of mind,” Steine says. “We’re giving that to them with this project.” Portrait started out in Surrey, Steine says, and is pleased to return to the area. He is particularly excited about the technology that will be available at the sales centre. “It’s going to be an innovative iPad interactive feature,” he says. It will give potential buyers the ability to

choose their home, colour scheme and finishings right on the iPad. They are then given a printout of what they chose to take home with them. “It’s a very detailed presentation,” Steine says. The development is already under construction, and Steine says buyers will be able to start taking possession by the end of October or early November. There will be six phases in the project, and those who buy before construction on their home begins will have more choice available to them on their finishings. Pricing will start in the low $300,000s. For more information and to pre-register, visit www. portraithomes.ca/communities/ panoramawoods.

Livability at a great price point

Portrait returns to Surrey with Panorama Woods by Kerry Vital

Portrait Homes is bringing something different to Surrey with its latest townhouse development, Panorama Woods. With a great central location and plenty of green space, buyers are sure to find a sense of serenity with their new home. Located just minutes from Highway 99, getting where you need to go will never be an issue. There are several schools in the area, as well as shopping and leisure activities such as golfing and walking trails. “It’s really central to anywhere you want to go,” says Troy Steine, vicepresident of marketing and sales for Portrait Homes. “It’s very convenient.” That convenience is continued with the on-site clubhouse, which will feature a lounge area with a kitchen, exercise room and a guest suite, among other amenities. However, it’s the homes themselves that are really drawing people in. “The floorplans are very livable,” says Steine. One special feature of the homes at Panorama Woods is the powder room on the main floor, something that Steine says Portrait is happy to offer its buyers with this project. With a variety of three-bedroom plans available, there is truly something for everyone at Panorama Woods. The homes range from approximately 1,380 to over 1,700 square feet, all with a modern open-plan layout. “How we build and finish the homes is really going to be something Surrey hasn’t seen for a long time,” says Steine. “There is a very high level of standard finishings available.” Some of those standard finishings include nine-foot ceilings throughout the main level and an electric fireplace that is perfect for curling up in front of at the end of a long day. “The kitchens are very usable,” says Steine. With designer-selected granite countertops and a hand-set ceramic tile backsplash, the kitchens are a gourmet’s dream. The stainless-steel appliances and chic contemporary cabinets are complemented by the modern track lighting in the kitchen that easily illuminates your every task without lending a harsh light to the proceedings. The master suites are relaxing and elegant, with a hand-set ceramic tile tub surround and ensuite floor, large separate shower stalls and tons of closet space. The cabinets with their sleek

knobs and pulls are fitted with softclose drawers and doors as a thoughtful little touch. Portrait is planning to hold its grand opening in late September or early October, but Steine says that those who pre-register will be able to get a sneak peek at the homes before they officially open. “If they register now, they have the opportunity to meet with our sales staff the week before opening,” he says. “It’s a good opportunity … and gives them the ability to choose their home before grand opening day. They will want to act on that very quickly.” Portrait only recently started allowing pre-registration for Panorama Woods, and Steine says that there are already a few dozen people registered. “There are a lot of people looking in our price range,” he says. “I think we’re really fitting the bill there.”

“

How we build and ﬁnish the homes is really going to be something Surrey hasn’t seen for a long time,” says Troy Steine, viceresident of marketing and sales for Portrait Homes.

Visit Dr. Greg Nelson in the morning, have the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mini-Implant Systemâ&#x20AC;? placed in less than two hours, then go out and enjoy your favourite lunch. What are MDI Implants? The MDI System consists of a miniature titanium implant that acts like the root of your tooth and the retaining ďŹ xture that is incorporated into the base of your denture. The head of the implant is shaped like a ball, and the retaining ďŹ xture acts like a socket that contains a rubber O-ring. The O-ring snaps over the ball when the denture is seated and holds the denture at a predetermined level of force. When seated, the denture gently rests on the gum tissue. The implant ďŹ xtures allow for micromobility while withstanding natural lifting forces.
