Canada Post unveils details of $200-million Richmond plant

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A new $200-million Canada Post processing plant on Sea Island will play a key role in the national mail carrier's new e-commerce focus.

"With the growth of e-commerce, we are positioning ourselves as a strong and reliable link between Canada and the Far East," said Deepak Chopra, president and CEO of Canada Post, in a news release. "We will ensure Canada Post remains relevant in an increasingly digital economy, with more packages and fewer letters."

Federal Minister of State for Transport, Steven Fletcher, joined Canada Post officials and Mayor Malcolm Brodie at the construction site of the plant Thursday morning to unveil details of the Crown corporation's e-commerce strategy and the postal centre—scheduled to be operating in 2014.

Fletcher said the investment in the federal Crown corporation is aimed at strengthening Canada's "competitive position" in the Asia-Pacific Gateway.

The 700,000-square-foot Canada Post Pacific Processing Centre, on Ferguson Road, will become the third largest processing plant in Canada, handling all mail—parcels, packets and letters.

According to Canada Post, the fastest-growing sector of the delivery business is e-commerce—merchants shipping goods ordered online by consumers—while letter mail continues to decline.

A 2011 eMarketer study quoted by Canada Post suggests Canadians will spend nearly $31 billion online by 2015—double the current rate. Within Canada Post, volumes from its 20 largest ecommerce customers grew by 20 per cent last year.

NAV CANADA workers unveil a giant Canucks banner on the air traffic control tower at Vancouver International Airport.

It would cover one-quarter of an ice rink’s surface—and the entire spirit of local hockey fans.

NAV CANADA workers unveiled a giant Vancouver Canucks banner last week to support the local National Hockey League team’s bid for the Stanley Cup. It now proudly hangs on the side of the 19-storey control tower at Vancouver International Airport.

“It’s big, real big, and the significance behind it is quite big as well,” said Ron Singer, manager of media relations for NAV Canada, in an e-mail to the Review.

The Canucks provided the 17-by-six-metre banner, which faces the southeast—visible to Canada Line passengers and vehicles approaching the airport, along with arriving aircraft.

According to Singer, the tradition began in 1994 when the Canucks went to the Stanley Cup Final.

Two NAV CANADA controllers wanted to show their support for the team, so off to the hardware store they went.

They returned with a huge orange tarp and a few cans of black spray paint. An hour later, they finished a crude “GO CANUCKS GO” banner, which was mounted on the control tower.

A new banner—one perhaps less of an eyesore— returned last year when the Vancouver Canucks organization provided one.

Pubs, eateries ready for Canucks fans Hockey cards, Burrows Burgers and false teeth all part of local fan experience

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

Hog Shack Cook House chef and owner John Lim Hing shows off his custom Canucks jersey in Steveston Wednesday.

Randy Craig knows the Canucks are going to win the Stanley Cup. To be sure, he’s pulling out all the stops at his pub in East Richmond—a signed photo of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and his dad’s false teeth.

“Those are my two lucky charms and I put them right next to my Canucks Stanley Cup behind the bar,” said Craig at the Kingswood Pub. “So all the good luck charms are in place.”

The No. 5 Road haunt—rebuilt after a fire several years ago— boasts 30 TVs and plenty of promotions to get patrons into the playoff spirit.

On Wednesday, Game 1 of the NHL playoffs between the Vancouver Canucks and Los Angeles Kings, customers swilled beer between bites of Burrows Burgers and Canucklehead Beef Dips while watching their team fall 4-2.

Craig figured the Canucks— who play again tonight in Vancouver—will win their first series in five games, and then face Chicago before moving on to the Stanley Cup Final.

“This is our year. This is definitely our year.”

On the other side of the city— Sea Island—the Flying Beaver Bar and Grill is also gearing up for a long playoff run.

“We love the Canucks and the atmosphere it brings, so we have Flying Beaver thunder sticks to get the atmosphere going,” said Scott McVicker, the pub’s general manager. “It’s

“I feel we are going to win the Cup this year. I sure hope that we do.”

electric.”

For Game 1 patrons filled up on wings and Sleeman beer, netting prizes if their player— hockey cards are handed out to customers—scored, fought or played a period of shutout hockey.

McVicker, a self-professed “diehard fan” and seasonticket holder, predicted the Canucks would finish L.A. in five games.

“I love the Canucks, so I’m probably a little biased...but I think the Canucks are poised to go to the Stanley Cup Final,” he said. “I feel we are going to win the Cup this year. I sure hope that we do.”

In Steveston, fans gather at various pubs and eateries to catch the action, including the Hog Shack Cook House. Locals are drawn to the Bayview Street hotspot’s ample TVs while polishing off specialty dishes like pulled pork poutine and ribs.

Chef and owner John Lim Hing has a Canucks jersey with “HOG SHACK” emblazoned on the back, and is confident of his team’s chances. But he won’t offer a prediction.

Laughed Lim Hing: “I don’t want to jinx it so I’m not going to say anything.”

Governance reform, audit unveiled for TransLink Road pricing back on table as long-term option: minister

by Jeff Nagel Black Press Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom is proposing to add some democracy to TransLink by giving area mayors two seats on the currently unelected professional board.

He also unveiled details of a promised audit to wring new savings out of the transportation authority.

The planned governance reform would amend TransLink’s legislation to add the chair and vicechair of the mayors’ council to the nine-member board of directors, which has made all decisions behind closed doors since 2008 when the province removed elected reps.

The move wouldn’t give the mayors majority control over the authority and its spending priorities – which they have demanded – but it would

offer them more say than they have now.

Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, the vicechair, said the change strikes him as acceptable to improve communication – provided it’s an interim step and that the province considers more wide-reaching reform later to make TransLink more accountable to taxpayers.

But he said other mayors are skeptical and fear the two reps “are being set up to be the fall guys.”

He also said the province should have its own representative on the board – something recommended in past reviews of TransLink’s structure but rejected by the minister.

Meanwhile, Lekstrom is reopening the door to a longer-range consideration of road pricing, calling it a complex idea that the mayors can continue to investigate with TransLink.

“There would be a great deal of work that would still have to be done on this,” he cautioned. “There are a number of options around the world.”

The concept – which could make motorists pay to drive any significant distance in Metro Vancouver whether they cross a bridge or not – has been championed by several mayors as a way to equitably raise money for TransLink and

address what they argue is unfair tolling of only some bridges.

Lekstrom said public education would be crucial if road pricing were to advance to the point the province could seriously consider it.

“They’ve got to bring the public that they represent along,” he said. “Presenting it to the government and then stepping back doesn’t work.”

He reiterated that the province has no plans to change its tolling policy, which requires a free alternate route be offered wherever tolls are imposed.

But when reporters suggested the policy would have to change if road pricing were adopted, he called that “pure speculation” and said the province would wait and see what is ultimately put forward.

Lekstrom ruled out any use of the carbon tax for TransLink, adding any new funding tools must be regionally based.

“I believe that taxpayers are at their limit for paying additional fuel taxes,” he added, citing a public backlash over the two-cent increase in TransLink’s gas tax that took effect April 1.

Lekstrom said he also wants the mayors and TransLink to look harder at mechanisms to capture the increase in land values where new transit

lines are built.

The in-depth efficiency audit, similar to one done for BC Hydro and underway at ICBC, will be performed by the finance ministry’s internal audit staff and no new funding tools will be authorized by the province before it’s finished.

Lekstrom said he’s continuing to look for ways to enforce collection of TransLink fare evasion tickets – which mostly go unpaid – and said he does not intend to let those with past fines off the hook.

“I’m looking at every option I can look at to enable the collection of these fines,” he said.

He also criticized the mayors’ council for seeking a pay raise and rejected the idea.

Mayors are paid $500 for each mayors’ council meeting they attend but the current legislation caps their payout at a maximum of 10 meetings per year, or $5,000.

They wanted to be compensated for extra meetings that have gone unpaid in recent years.

Lekstrom said extra pay for the mayors would be “out of step” with taxpayers’ expectations, particularly when new funding sources are being pursued.

“Quite honestly, I don’t care,” Fassbender said, but added it was important to some mayors.

Black Press Pocket dials from cellphones are being blamed for most of the more than 100,000 bogus 911 calls that took up operators’ time last year, diverting resources from real emergencies in the Lower Mainland.

An analysis of call statistics found 10 per cent of more than one million 911 calls received by the E-Comm regional emergency communications centre were dialed by mistake in 2011.

E-Comm estimates more than 70,000 of those calls – or 200 per day – were “pocket dials” in which cellphones in a pocket or purse dialed 911 by mistake.

Another 40,000 were abandoned calls where the user hung up.

Growing use of smart phones are behind the increase as they now account for 58 per cent of 911 call volume – an alltime high and up 10 per cent in four years.

E-Comm is asking the public to cut down on pocket calls by using keylocks, storing cell phones in protective cases and not pre-programming 911 into any phone.

If 911 is dialed by mistake, the centre says callers should stay on the line and speak with the call-taker.

When callers hang up, staff will call back to ensure the caller is safe, tying up more resources and in the case of hangups from landlines, dispatching police.

Operators who handle the numerous pocket dials must stay on the line and listen for signs that a caller dialed intentionally but is now incapacitated or otherwise in danger.

Call takers say they’ve heard it all, from action at rave parties to intimate moments phone users would never want transmitted.

“I’ve had a lot of calls from Rogers Arena when the Canucks were playing,” says Corey Kelso, E-Comm 911 call-taker.

“I’ve heard pucks drop, I’ve heard the announcements, and I’ve actually heard Richard Loney singing the national anthem.”

Smog disconnect puzzles Some kids really air quality experts do love school Ozone base levels are up, despite drops in most pollutants

by Jeff Nagel Black Press Baseline levels of ozone are continuing to creep up in the Lower Mainland despite reduced emissions of the key air pollutants that combine to cause smog.

Metro Vancouver officials say their staff and scientists from University of B.C. and Environment Canada are trying to understand the discrepancy and why average levels of groundlevel ozone haven’t also declined over the past 10 years.

“This is a disturbing trend,” said Roger Quan, Metro’s air quality policy manager. “There isn’t a good explanation.”

He said rising levels of background ozone wafting here from across the Pacific Ocean may be the cause.

The average increase being ob-

B.C. allows booze by the big screen The B.C. government has created a new liquor licence that allows theatres to serve alcohol during movie showings.

Rich Coleman, the cabinet minister responsible for B.C. liquor and gambling policy, says the change will get rid of red tape for theatres that could get a licence to serve alcohol for live events, but couldn’t show movies in the same place.

The new licence will allow theatres to serve drinks in the lobby, but patrons won’t be able to take drinks to their movie seat unless the room is adults-only. Coleman said unlike the stands at a hockey game or out in a well-lit lobby, it’s difficult for operators to see if minors are sneaking drinks in a dark theatre.

A multiplex cinema now has the option of designating one theatre for adults only and serving drinks, an approach that has caught on in other jurisdictions along with larger seats and tables.

The licence would also cover an adults-only lounge adjacent to the theatre.

Other theatres that have live shows will be able to take part in film festivals without having to close their bar or apply for a new licence.

served does not apply to peak ozone levels measured on the worst air quality days each summer—those highest readings have steadily trended downward for 20 years.

Metro has just released a report titled Caring For Our Air that paints a generally optimistic picture of the region’s trend of improving air quality over the past two decades, much of it due to cleaner vehicles, less sulphur in fuels and initiatives like AirCare.

The report shows ambient levels of fine particulate, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide levels have all declined by at least 20 per cent since 2001, while ozone is up nearly 20 per cent.

Ground-level ozone is caused by the reaction of nitrogen dioxide and volatile organic compounds, typically from solvents and fuels, in the presence of sunlight.

Emissions have been steadily declining from the three biggest sources of smog precursors—light vehicles, non-road engines and solvents.

But growth in population and traffic through the region mean the recent gains are expected to recede and air quality could worsen from 2020

through 2030.

Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman said Fraser Valley residents who once couldn’t see Mount Baker on a clear day know the smog levels have improved.

“We can see it,” he said. “It’s clearly getting better.”

But he said the gains have been hard-won and must be maintained.

Banman chastised Metro staff for failing to include the region’s plans for a new garbage incinerator in the report, calling it a project that must be subjected to the highest level of scrutiny. He said air quality is important for reasons beyond human health, pointing to damage to agricultural crops from ozone and to tourism.

“If tourists can’t see the mountains, they go somewhere else,” he said.

There were no air quality advisories due to smog last year.

But Metro officials say the 2011 numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, because there were no major air quality inversion to trap ozone in the Fraser Valley and fuel smog formation. Nor were there major wildfires that sent smoke here from elsewhere in the province.

EDITORIAL: Teaching dispute intermediary needs impartiality

W

herever one stands on the current B.C. teachers’ dispute, it must be recognized that it is crucial for all sides that the mediator appointed should be considered by all parties to be independent and impartial at the outset.

Unfortunately for upcoming negotiations—already a potential minefield—there are serious flaws in the optics of the B.C. government’s appointment of Charles Jago as mediator, at an estimated cost to taxpayers of $2,000 per day.

A former president of the University of Northern B.C. and author of a 2006 report on education in the province, Jago has been faulted by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation as a former contributor to the B.C. Liberals’ war chest—to the tune of $500 in 2007 and the same again in 2010.

Jago has explained the amounts represent tickets purchased for fundraising golf tournaments, as though that somehow made them less significant than straight contributions to the B.C. Liberal cause.

But contributions—and generous ones—they were.

The public may have a hard time believing one would dish out that kind of money for something one doesn’t endorse, and Jago’s presence at such

fundraising events implies, at the very least, some philosophic alignment with the party.

It is true the B.C. Teachers’ Federation is of a mind to find fault with Jago’s background and the circumstances of his appointment—hardly surprising considering the rancor surrounding Education Minister George Abbott’s introduction of Bill 22, which imposed the current cooling off period and mediation.

But one can only imagine the sound and fury that would have been heard had a left-wing government appointed a mediator who had made such contributions to the B.C. Teachers’ Federation or NDP. And now comes the admission from Abbott that Jago both saw—and suggested changes to—Bill 22 before it became law, even before the B.C. Teachers’ Federation had a chance to submit its own suggestions for mediator.

It is pointless to argue, as Abbott has done, that the sections Jago viewed of the draft bill pertained only to his terms of reference and his mandate. That he contributed to any of it clearly compromises the process—in the same way as discussion of evidence of a criminal case among jurors, however innocuous, is deemed sufficient cause to declare a mistrial.

Given the plummeting popularity for the B.C. Liberals—and

Former University of Northern B.C. president Charles Jago has been appointed to mediate the dispute between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the bargaining agent for the province’s 60 school districts.

what many see as the yawning credibility gap for the provincial government—such blunders do

nothing to improve their chances of being re-elected.

What would happen if the sea got closer

Shades of Green Arzeena Hamir

W

hen I was young, I distinctly remember my mother taking my brother and me to visit sand dunes in Richmond.

For hours, we’d slide down the hot sand and then scramble up to the top and do it all over again. We’d pretend we were lost in the Sahara and we’d dig frantically for water to quench our thirst.

But I must have been dreaming. Sand dunes in Richmond?!!

A few years ago, I finally asked mum if that memory was true. Where on earth could those sand dunes have been? As it turns out, Garry Point is where I spent many weekends filling my shoes with hot sand and exploring the “Sahara.”

Can you imagine totally losing a landmark like Garry Point? What about Terra Nova Park where all the wonderful food festivals and community events happen? Or Iona Beach? Can you imagine living your whole life on an island and seeing all those memories drown under water?

The residents of Taku, an island in the South Pacific just off Papua New Guinea, faced just that reality. For generations, the community lived beside

the water. The men and women would fish and all the community celebrations revolved around the bounty of the sea and the island.

And then that sea began creeping closer. The elders had never seen anything like it before. Food gardens began dying out because of saltwater intrusion. Whole beaches where children used to play disappeared. Tropical storms, which were once a natural part of island life, now inundated houses that used to be above flood levels.

Finally, scientists from Australia came to Taku to explain what was happening and give it a name: Global Warming. The warming of the earth was causing sea levels to rise.

These people, who live very low carbon lifestyles themselves, were feeling the brunt of this impact.

Food gardens began dying out because of saltwater intrusion. Whole beaches where children used to play disappeared.

All of this is documented in a movie called There Once was an Island and is being screened April 21 at Brighouse Library as part of Earth Day celebrations.

Amnesty International, the Richmond Food Security Society, the Sharing Farm, and a number of other groups will give local residents a chance to make positive change in the community.

I think that Richmondites, as fellow island

dwellers, can feel a strong sense of commonality with the residents of Taku. We, too, live under sea level.

We know our own dykes are going to need fortifying with the predicted sea level rise. Climate change has also had a huge impact on our agriculture as well.

Come out to the library next Saturday, April 21.

Learn about seed saving, community gardening, composting, and take part in an earth-friendly ECO Contest. Stay for the screening of the movie and see just why it’s so very important that we not only educate ourselves about protecting the earth but we do something about it.

letters My right to drink bottled water Editor: Re: “City needs to embrace ripples of change,” Arzeena Hamir, March 30.

There comes a point in time when the big picture should include everyone and not just a select few.

Let’s consider that water is critical to our health. Let’s consider that for years now, we have been bombarded with the importance of replacing pop and other sugary drinks in refreshment machines with bottled water.

Why? Because in order to improve the health of every man, woman and child in Richmond— they need to drink as much water as possible as often as possible.

Now, after that hard won message and change has permeated throughout Richmond schools, community centres, and municipal buildings—there is now a fight to remove access to bottled water?

I know a lot of people who simply will not drink tap water and I know many more who do walk around with an empty container everywhere they go. Think about the kids on hockey and soccer fields who rely on their coaches to have coolers filled with bottled water. Think about busy people who stop off to work out on the way home and depend on the ability to grab a bottle of water at the community centre before exercising. And think about the vast number of people who no longer having access to bottled water in municipal vending machines simply switch back to sugary drinks. Not only that, bottled water tastes significantly better than Richmond’s tap water to many people. Why don’t those of you who are attempting to take away my easy access to the water I prefer to drink, explain to me why you feel obliged to impinge upon my right to choose the best beverage for my health wherever I am?

And while you are at it, why don’t you tell me exactly what is in tap water before you insist that I must drink it?

Denise Tester Richmond

Richmond is too big Editor: Could you tell me why our mayor and council are so intent on increasing our population even further? Do we get “Brownie” points for being the most congested, overcrowded city in the Lower Mainland?

Richmond already has more residents than our parking spaces, roads, bridges and tunnel can handle.

Having lived in Richmond for 85 years and having witnessed the unbelievable, appalling changes in our city, I would like to suggest we try to achieve quality rather than quantity.

generations.

To be clear, no seniors pensions will be reduced because of the proposed changes to the OAS and Canadians currently collecting OAS benefits will not be affected.

In fact, changes made to the OAS will be phased in between 2023 and 2029, giving Canadians up to 17 years to plan and adjust accordingly.

These changes will not affect the Canada Pension Plan. The CPP has been adjusted over the years and has been deemed sustainable for the long term.

Starting in January, we will start to proactively enroll many seniors in OAS and GIS, eliminating the need for them to apply for these benefits.

Additionally, in July, we will allow individuals to voluntary to defer their OAS pension, essentially giving Canadians the option to delay receiving the OAS pension for up to five years. For every month an individual delays receiving OAS, their monthly payment will be increased for the remainder of their life.

Canada is about to experience significant demographic shifts where soon, the number of seniors will nearly double. The ratio of workers to seniors will be cut in half. Currently, we have four workingage Canadians for every senior; by 2030, there will be only two.

The OAS program is the largest individual transfer made to Canadians by the government and is completely funded by tax revenues.

On its current path, the OAS program is unsustainable. If we did not act now, the annual cost of OAS is projected to increase from $38 billion in 2011 to $108 billion in 2030, which will account for 21 per cent of all federal tax dollars spent.

Our government is determined to take responsible, fair and prudent action to make the OAS program sustainable for all Canadians— now and into the future.

We are committed to providing a secure and dignified retirement for seniors who have spent their lives building Canada through their hard work.

letters Xiamen is more like a sister metropolis Editor: Xiamen has a population of 3,531,347 inhabitants, almost 1.8 times the population counted for the last census in 2000 (which was of 2,053,070 inhabitants). This growth rate will soon make it a sister province better suited for, well, for all of Western Canada.

Pierrefonds was a city on the Island of Montreal. It ceased to exist on January 1, 2002. The city was located along the Rivière des Prairies at the western end of the island. Its final population was 54,963 which might have been comparable to Richmond 45 years ago.

So Pierrefonds is a sister non-city which once had a population about one quarter that of Richmond and Xiamen is a proposed sister metropolis with a population 17 times greater than Richmond’s. Exactly what are these exacting standards that a prospective sister city must achieve in order to qualify to have our councillors deign to visit them at taxpayers’ expense?

The sister city organization’s mission (http://www. sister-cities.org/) is to “promote peace through Question of mutual respect, underthe week standing, and cooperation — one individual, one community at a time.”

Do you agree Wonderful rhetoric but no with the City specifics—and no accountof Richmond’s ability.

slumber party complete with pillow fight, gossip and giggles, and way too much pizza and ginger ale.

Cities in India, Korea, the Philippines and Netherlands are all being considered as new sister cities for Richmond. If the mayor and councillors have such a pressing need to be a big sister why not bond with Port au Prince, Haiti which is located on an island, suffered a devastating earthquake and needs...everything?

Abyei, South Sudan has a population and could use some understanding. Grozny, Chechnya has a population, a mayor and a council and they need peace.

Those sisters might make for interesting sleepovers and photo opportunities.

R. Pekarek Richmond

Editor: It is time to put an end to these sister city vacations by out-voting the free-loaders on city council.

There should be a limit on the amount the council can spend without approval from the taxpayer.

Wasteful spending seems to be the norm here in Richmond. The same money could go a long way in helping the Richmond Food Bank serve the needy.

The people to blame are the ones who elected these carpetbaggers.

Apparently, council feels that it is their right to squander public funds.

Glen Heredia Richmond

Basa Fillet

Editor: Sister city visits are frivolous expenses from the taxpayer’s point of view.

The participants will gain some personal benefits, entertainment and enjoyment during the trip, so they might as well pay at least 50 per cent air fare from their own pocket.

Tune in for Constituency Report featuring

Art exhibition explores China’s one-child policy

Goby Catt swings into River Rock next week

Richmond Art Gallery will host an opening reception for its latest exhibition next Thursday.

Emerging artist Hua Jin’s My Big Family runs from April 20 to June 10 at the gallery’s Richmond Cultural Centre location.

In the exhibition, Jin explores issues relating to China’s one-child-per-family policy and economics.

Employing photography and video, Jin documents and reflects on her personal experience as the first generation of single-child families and explores how this policy affects families, communities and the country.

The artist will be giving a discussion on the exhibit on Saturday, June 2 from 1 to 2 p.m.

An accompanying community project—in Gallery 3—features a display of framed family photographs of Richmond families.

The gallery is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (open until 9 p.m. Thursdays) and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends.

Australian singer and bass player Goby Catt will play at River Rock Casino Resort next week for a pair of free shows.

Catt grew up in Sydney, Australia, where he was a respected bass player and vocalist in the city’s jazz scene for more than a decade.

He has toured extensively—in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States.

Now living in Vancouver, Catt continues his love affair with music with his band, the Catt Pack, which plays classic soul, funk, blues and rock, including standards—with Catt’s take—from Frank Sinatra, Chet Baker, Ella Fitzgerald and Dean Martin.

Catt will be at Lulu’s Lounge Wednesday, April 18, beginning at 8:30 p.m., and Thursday, April 19, beginning at 9 p.m. No cover charge.

Doors Open returns May 5-6 Doors Open Richmond returns May 5 and 6.

Explore more than 40 arts, cultural and heritage sites during this two day city-wide free celebration.

For a full listing of all participating venues and Doors Open details, see the city’s website at www.richmond. ca or pick up a brochure at Richmond community facilities after April 25.

community Tourism Richmond names new board for 2012-13 Scott Johnson named chair Tourism Richmond announced its board of directors for 2012-13 at its annual general meeting held today at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel.

Scott Johnson, regional director of the Sandman Signature Hotel & Resort Vancouver Airport, was named chair.

“Our new board of

directors, made up of influential and experienced leaders, is committed to the growth of our organization and our industry as we continue to build upon our long-term strategy and our vision to make Richmond a premiere West Coast visitor destination,” Johnson said.

distance was changed to the Olympic standards that it is today.

Speaking on Tuesday from Toronto with Canadian former Olympian Jerome Drayton, he talked about his 1977 Boston victory, which was the last by a Canadian male.

Drayton, 67, incredibly is still the fastest Canadian of all time with a personal best of 2:10:09.

He beat legendary Bostonian Bill Rogers to win Boston in 2:14:46.

“It was a very hot day and I remember there were no water stations on the route and I was running with Rodgers and I mentioned to him there is no water and Bill said no, it looks like you are on your own. Bill shared his personal drink but after a while it wasn’t really helping. When we came to Heartbreak Hill, Bill had dropped out and I continued on despite feeling like I was going to drop dead,” Drayton said.

He had complained to the race director, Jock Semple, that there wasn’t any water stations along the route for approximately 3,000 runners and he didn’t want to acknowledge it. Drayton returned to Boston the following year and there were water stations. Drayton’s training back then was 190 miles a week, while also holding down a full-time job. He noted it takes, “motivation, discipline and effective time management.”

In past years, other Canadians have won the Boston Marathon.

Gerard Cote ran his first Boston marathon in 1936 and won the race in 1940, 1942, 1943, and 1948.

marathon you’re running anywhere on earth—you’re going to know at the finish line if you’ve qualified for Boston. Serious runners will enter only marathons that are certified Boston qualifiers.

With qualifying times based on sex and age combined with a more health conscious population, the Boston Marathon has become a reachable goal for more Canadians. The 116th edition, organized by the Boston Athletic Association, will be held as always, on Patriot’s Day (Monday). a Massachusetts state holiday. Out of 26,000 participants, hailing from at least 80 countries, 2,050 will be representing the Great White North, compared to 880 Canadians entered in 2001.

Even though Geoffrey Mutai from Kenya set a world record of 2:03:02 last year, Boston is a difficult course for most, especially first-timers.

Think of 16 miles of rolling downhill, followed by five miles of uphill, including Heartbreak Hill— and finally the quad destroying downward descent to the finish line. It’s a point to point course starting from the rural town of Hopkinton.

Tens of thousands of fans scream their support, especially in the town on Wellesley, where runners are treated like rock stars.

The first Boston Marathon was won by John J. McDermott from New York in two hours, 55 minutes and 10 seconds. Only 15 runners participated and just 10 completed it. The course was short back then at just 24.5 miles. It wasn’t until 1908 that the

Boston Marathon is a tough race From Page 16 The earliest Canadian winner was Ronald J. MacDonald of Antigonish, N.S. in 1898 in a time of 2:42:00.

Jacqueline Gareau. the 1980 Boston Marathon women’s winner, broke the course record with a 2:34:28. She is the only Canadian woman to win the Boston Marathon. The Saint- Adele, Quebec native had her victory celebration delayed because of the notorious Rosie Ruiz, who entered the race with just two kilometres remaining.

Art Boileau, a 54-year-old North Vancouver native, is one of Canada’s greatest all time marathoners, the former Olympian twice winning the L.A. marathon in 1987 (2:13:08) and in 1989 (2:13:01).

Boileau placed second at the 1986 Boston Marathon in his personal best of 2:11:15. Boileau won $20,000 in the first year prize money was offered at Boston.

He speaks warmly of his Boston experience, saying on Tuesday, “You have a million spectators watching, I love Boston. It’s a great city and the city really supports their sports community and it is such a historic event.”

Boileau went back to Boston 26 years later and still broke three hours, running 2:52 as a 51-yearold.

The Boston Marathon has been kind to a select few Canadian elites but for most, it’s definitely no tea party.

Chances are, you’ll find a single entry in the category of Indo-folk rock: Ranj Singh and the Discriminators.

“It’s a genre we invented ourselves. It’s not out there anywhere,” said Singh, a lifelong Surrey resident who brings his band to the Steveston Folk Guild next week.

Their music has a distinct Indian flair, yet the band has few links to southeast Asia. Even the Britishborn Singh wasn’t immediately attracted to the sounds of the sitar.

“I grew up listening to Boston, Meatloaf and Neil Young. Those were my acts growing up and I had no interest in Indian music until 1984,” said Singh.

That’s when a friend took him to a concert in Vancouver to see the famed Indian ghazal singer Jagjit Singh.

“That very same day I said, I have to learn more about what this is all about. That’s when I fell in love with Indian music,” he said. “Prior to that, I didn’t care for it, I didn’t play it, listen to it or anything.”

The band of Ranj Singh and the Discriminators has been together for three years, releasing its

Singh is a self-taught guitarist, singer and songwriter.

Rounding out the group is Chris Dufault on lead guitar, Dan Huget on electric violin, Bojan Bugarinovich on sitar and bass and David Eadie on percussion.

“The guys find it challenging,” Singh said about playing music with some Indian roots. “When I gave them the riffs to learn and play... they hadn’t done that before. Every musician loves a challenge, so it felt good to them.”

In the 1980s, Singh performed with Dal Dil Vog (DDV), an award-winning group known for its bhangra-rock music. Now leading the Discriminators, Singh is ready to share his experience in Indian music—and the talents of his five-piece band—to a wider audience.

After their April 19 show in Steveston, which will largely be an acoustic set, the band is looking forward to gigs in various B.C. locations, including the Dragon Boat Festival—and possibly the Fusion Festival in his hometown of Surrey.

“You want fusion, I got a violin player with a German background, a British drummer, a French guitarist and a Serbian bass player and a Punjabi singer who sings in English. I can’t see anything more multicultural than that.”

The house that sausage-lovers built Steveston shop sells sausages made by fifthgeneration expert

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Tucked in Steveston Village is a specialty store that has a salivating effect on hungry customers.

D Original Sausage Haus, located on First Avenue at Chatham Street, is a purveyor of high quality, European style sausages. It opened quietly two months ago and has already built a following. And for playoff hockey fans looking for the perfect bratwurst to barbecue, look no further.

“We have a wide variety of barbecue bratwursts,” said Jens Hertha,

listing spicy, classic and Greek as some local favourites. “Especially for the playoffs, that’s the kind of thing you want right now. When the sun comes out, what’s better than having a barbecue with the game?”

Hertha owns the store with fellow Steveston-area resident Thorsten Stock. Together they’ve put together a growing sausage selection that includes everything from bratwurst and fine salamis to prosciutto hams and sandwich meats.

All the meat in store is made by a fifth generation sausage-maker from Germany, Drews Driessen— except the prosciutto hams, which are imported from Italy and Spain.

Sausages are made without preservatives, gluten or fillers—just meat and spices. The store also carries fine artisan cheeses as a complement.

Hertha grew up in Germany, where eating fine sausages and sandwich meats is a way of life.

Tasting Driessen’s offerings transported him back to his childhood in Germany. He wanted to make the sausages available to consumers who otherwise could only find them in fine restaurants, and D Original Sausage Haus was born.

“The reception in the community of Steveston has been great in the first two months,” he said. “This is only the first store of hopefully many to come.”

Some of Hertha’s favourites are air cured salamis: saucisson sec, a dry French salami; madador, a hot salami; and ostraya, a spicy Russian salami. For European customers familiar with the fine flavours, it’s a little slice of heaven.

“They come in and their eyes get wide. They feel like a kid in a candy store. They see the things that they haven’t seen in 30, 40 years, ever since they came to Canada.”

McNair honour roll student Jodi Gentile eyes a spot on Team BC blueline

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Noon hour at Matthew McNair Secondary affords Jodi Gentile the chance to catch her breath. And that’s not something this Grade 10 honour roll student, and former Richmond Review carrier, takes for granted.

Her day is typically chocka-block with things to do.

Besides being dedicated to her studies, she’s a member of student council and was part of the school’s two-week Alice in Wonderland production last

spring. And, she’s an elite level hockey player—good enough to play defence for the Fraser Valley Phantom, winner of the province’s female Major Midget league this season.

But Gentile isn’t complaining.

“Even though I don’t have a lot of time, I think it’s good to try everything I can through high school because I’m not going to get the chance after,” she says.

“And staying busy keeps me motivated and focused.”

One of eight rookies to

play for the Phantom this season, Gentile made the team by impressing the coaching staff with her strong skating and instinctive offensive skills. But that was the easy part.

Each week typically con-

against top-level competition. Last October, the Phantom travelled 16 hours by bus to Warner, Alta. to play against the Banff Hockey Academy and were able to celebrate a 7-1 victory.

Then on Nov. 27, Gentile’s mettle—physically and mentally—was chal-

lenged when she suffered a serious ankle injury. Yet she found a way to push through (with help from physiotherapy at LifeMark at the Richmond Olympic Oval) to travel and compete with her teammates in the Notre Dame, Sask. tournament Dec. 8 to 11.

The following weekend, the team swept the

Super League weekend at the Langley Events Centre and Gentile was one of several Phantom players to be chosen to play in the all-star game.

The Phantom won the B.C. championship two weeks ago by edging the Kelowna Rockets in a close three-game series.

up shy in its bid to win the recent regional final against the Edmonton Thunder (losing 3-2 and 3-1) over the Easter long weekend, but Gentile played what her mom proudly deemed “one of the most outstanding games I have ever seen her play on the Friday.”

And she wasn’t alone in her assessment, with assistant coach Serena Hillman also raving.

Gentile is now focusing her energy on making Team BC which will compete in the 2012

female national under-18 championships later this year in Dawson Creek.

Having made it to the first round of tryouts, she’ll be playing in the BC Cup in Invermere April 25 to 29, where about 100 girls will vie for 40 to 45 spots to the provincial camp in May. The top 20 players will make up Team BC. A lifelong fan of the Vancouver Canucks, Gentile’s favourite player is, not surprisingly, a defenceman—Kevin Bieksa. But when she

was little she wanted to be a goalie.

“My older brother, who was a forward, taught me how to skate,” says Gentile, who began playing hockey with the boys at the Richmond Minor Hockey Association at the age of six. In her final year with Richmond minor, she helped the A2 team reach the final four. Then in her second year of Pewee, she moved over to play with the local girls’ hockey association, now known as the Ravens, and

One Day Miracle for Denture Sufferers!

Are you not eating what you want to because of problems chewing with your dentures? Do they jump, shift, or tilt? Are you tired of replacing them all of the time? Are you sick of the unsanitary denture goo and adhesive you use to try and get them to stay put?

Have you ever been told that you couldn’t have dental implants?

If you said yes to any of these questions, then you are one of more than 40 million people across the country who live with the pain and suffering of removable dentures and partials. The good news is that there are new ways to solve the problems of being unable to bite or chew the food that you want to eat. You no longer have to resign yourself to a soft food diet permanently.

Dr. Greg Nelson has a new procedure where no surgical incision is required through the gum tissue.

This new modern miracle called ‘Mini Dental Implants’ give your teeth a secure and solid foundation, so you can chew the foods you like and improve your nutrition. They also help preserve the bone of the jaw and help keep you looking younger. This is a tremendous advance even from just five years ago.

This procedure is performed in a routine dental

setting on an outpatient basis and requires no hospitalization. The patient is able to go home and enjoy eating the same day. “If you would like a solution where you visit us in the morning and are able to comfortably eat and smile just a few hours later, then you are ready for the new techniques now available,” says Dr. Nelson.

If your dentures just aren’t working for you anymore and you are ready for the convenience that this modern technique provides, then call Dr. Nelson today to schedule a COMPLEMENTARY initial consultation.

played up an age level— Bantam rep—for three seasons. Last season, her Ravens’ team placed second at the provincial championships.

“My parents always gave me a choice between playing girls’ or boys’ hockey, but once I got to Peewee I realized I was so much smaller (than most of the other players) and decided it was time to switch,” she says.

Besides playing the game she loves—and at a high level—Gentile says hockey has given her so much.

“It’s helped me keep my priorities straight, and I can’t even describe how much more confidence in myself I have and the circle of friends I’ve made,” says Gentile.

She hopes her hockey skills are good enough to earn a post-secondary scholarship, and plans to study kinesiology in university while eyeing a career in human kinetics.

When she’s not in the classroom or on the ice, Gentile is usually volunteering or working.

Since January, she works a day per week in the after-school program at the Hamilton Community Centre as well as for a few weeks in the summer as a camp leader.

She began volunteering at the centre when she was only 11 and in June, 2009 won the Teen Volunteer Award.

Family-friendly community gaining popularity

Tsawwassen a rising hot spot What is it about Tsawwassen that makes it so popular in the new home market right now? With the release of the second phase of Shato Holdings’ Tsawwassen Springs development late last year, the community formerly best known for the BC Ferry terminal is coming into its own.

“Tsawwassen has always been a really nice area to raise a family,” says Ron Toigo, managing director of Shato Holdings.

Toigo has been a long-time resident of Tsawwassen himself, and says he enjoys the proximity to Vancouver while still getting away from it all.

“It’s half an hour from Vancouver, but

you could be 100 miles away,” he says.

Tsawwassen Springs opened for sale earlier last year, and has been extremely popular with all types of homebuyers.

Part of its appeal can be chalked up to the city, along with its stunning golf course and mountain views.

“Tsawwassen is going to be one of the hot spots,” says George Wong, founder of Magnum Projects, which marketed Tsawwassen Springs’ second phase. “It’s an undiscovered jewel.”

One thing that sets Tsawwassen apart is the construction of its developments, Wong says. “You don’t see high-rises and concrete towers. It’s a more pastoral community.”

Power Smart New Homes are a great investment

by Kerry Vital

There’s a lot to think about when buying a new home, and energyefficiency isn’t necessarily tops on your list. However, BC Hydro has several reasons why it should be one of the first things you think about.

Around since 2006, the BC Hydro Power Smart New Home program ensures that homes are more energyefficient, which will save you money in the long run.

“These homes use 30 per cent less energy than an average home in today’s market,” says Kari Montrichard, Program Manager of Residential Marketing for BC Hydro.

Homes in the program have an Energuide rating of 80 or higher, Montrichard says.

“An Energuide rating is a performance-based building energy rating system developed and delivered by (Natural Resources Canada) and its licensed service organizations. The scale ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 is the least efficient and 100 is the most efficient,” she says, adding that a home’s performance is mainly based on thermal performance and how efficient the heating and cooling systems are.

With energy costs expected to rise in the future, buying a Power Smart New Home is especially important because it will help homeowners save money.

Montrichard cites three ways that a home in the program will benefit you in the long run.

The first is saving on your mortgage insurance, as the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Mortgage Insurance will give you a 10 per cent refund if you buy a Power Smart New Home.

The second is saving on your monthly bills, since your home will use less energy to accomplish the same tasks.

The third is on the resale value of your home, especially when more and more buyers are concerned about the environment and looking for a green home.

But is there anything you can do to your current home to make it more energy-efficient? Montrichard says yes.

“There are low-cost improvements homeowners can make from draftproofing to replacing showerheads,” she says. “For deeper retrofits and improvements like replacing windows or adding insulation, we have partnered with the provincial government and

“

These homes use 30 per cent less energy than an average home in today’s market,” says Kari Montrichard, Program Manager of Residential Marketing for BC Hydro.

FortisBC to offer the Live Smart program. Homeowners can have a home energy audit to understand which retrofits will provide the best results, and they may qualify for incentives.”

When you’re touring a potential home, there are a few things for you to look out for.

Lighting accounts for about 16 per cent of the electricity consumption in a house, so the easiest way to increase your energy efficiency is to install compact fluorescent bulbs that include an Energy Star label.

Home appliances are responsible for about 20 per cent of the energy used per day, so it’s a good idea to look for an ENERGY STAR label when purchasing new appliances as well.

For example, BC Hydro states that refrigerators with that label are at least 20 per cent more energy-efficient than the minimum standard set by the federal government. This means they are better insulated, often more quiet and include more precise temperature settings and better defrost mechanisms.

Meanwhile, a dishwasher with an ENERGY STAR label is at least 25 per cent more efficient and can save homeowners up to 20 per cent on water heating costs, BC Hydro says.

Another big appliance in the home is a washing machine for clothing.

An ENERGY STAR-labelled machine can reduce your overall energy consumption by up to 50 per cent, and uses 35 to 50 per cent less water than standard models.

Up to one third of the heat inside the home can escape through windows, so BC Hydro recommends looking for ENERGY STAR-labelled windows that will keep the heat inside during the winter and the heat outside in the summer.

Buy a Power Smart home, save three ways Save now, and save later: not many homes can promise you that. But when you buy a home from a Power Smart New Home Builder you’ll save money, including reduced mortgage insurance and lower monthly bills. An EnerGuide label is your assurance that the home is independently rated to be energy-efďŹ cient. And don’t forget, an energyefďŹ cient home is more comfortable too.

Layout, amenities, and those much-promoted granite countertops. There’s a lot to think about when you’re buying a new home.

But there’s one feature that can make a positive difference to your wallet when you purchase, and every month that you own your home.

Choosing a Power Smart New Home gives home buyers an easy way to find a home that is designed and built to save energy. “Buying an energy-efficient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,� says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydro’s Power Smart New Home program. “If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage. But many new homes are not built with energy efficiency in mind - so looking for the EnerGuide label is wise.�

An EnerGuide rating is a standard measure of a home’s energy performance, rated on a scale of 0 to 100. A rating of 0 represents a home with major air leakage, no insulation and extremely high energy consumption. A rating of 100 represents a house that is airtight, well insulated, sufficiently ventilated and requires no purchased energy.

The first benefit you’ll find is on your mortgage insurance: Power Smart New Homes qualify for a 10 per cent refund on Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Mortgage

“

Buying an energy-efďŹ cient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,â€? says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydro’s Power Smart New Home program. “If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage.â€?

Insurance.

You’ll also save on your monthly bills. Homes that are rated EnerGuide 80 use at least 30 per cent less energy than an average new home. That’s money in your pocket every month – especially great when energy costs are only expected to rise. Buy a home with a rating higher than EnerGuide 80, and save even more.

The third benefit is resale value; as energy costs rise and green building continues to gain popularity, a home that demonstrates its efficiency will likely hold its value as compared to one that is inefficient with high monthly operating costs.

There are other benefits as well, Overholt says. “Builders who are smart about energy efficiency are adopting improved building practices and making use of new technologies. Their homes are more comfortable – cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter – while using less energy overall. It’s hard to add energy efficiency later; you need to get it built in from the start.�

The Power Smart New Home program gives you an easy way to find houses, townhomes, and condos that are designed to save energy.

For more information and to find your energy efficient dream home, check out the full listing of Power Smart New Home Builders and featured developments at bchydro.com/pshomes.

NOT ALL NEW HOMES ARE BUILT WITH ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN MIND. That’s why it pays to look for a Power Smart New Home Builder when shopping for your next home.

Power Smart New Homes are independently rated EnerGuide 80 or higher, which means they use at least 30% less energy than an average new home.

And since they’re built the smart way, they stay cooler in the summer and cozier in the winter—all while saving you money for years to come.

Provincial Cup playdowns kick off in Richmond

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Deuces will be wild in Richmond this weekend as a pair of Richmond Senior Soccer Association teams host two games in round one of the Provincial Cup. Islanders FC will meet NFS Inter of the Fraser Valley Soccer League at 11 a.m. Saturday at Minoru Park, followed by the Athletics and GH Active Earth Engineering of the Vancouver Island Soccer League at 2 p.m. A third Richmond team, the All-Blacks, will play Cordova Bay Bobcats on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. on Vancouver Island.

The winners will advance to the second of four rounds in the 16-team, single-game knockout event. The final goes May 2 at Burnaby Lakes Sports Complex.

“The provincials provides an opportunity for the top teams from around the province to compete for bragging rights,” said RSSA president Steve Valenzuela.

“We’re proud of three teams from our organization who have captured a Provincial Cup berth. We’ll all be rooting for them this weekend.”

The Islanders are making their debut in the Provincial Cup, after placing third in the RSSA’s Premier

Division during the 2011-12 regular season. Matteo Serka led the way offensively with 20 goals. NFS Inter lost only one league game to top the Fraser Valley league’s Second Division.

The Athletics are coming off a firstplace finish in the Premier Division in which they went 15-3-2. They also won the League Cup for the first time.

GH Active was third in the Island’s Division 3B with a 10-2-4 record.

All-Blacks placed second in the Premier Division this season with a 12-4-4 record. Cordova Bay won the Island’s Division 3A banner by going 12-1-5.
