elcome to our fourth annual Best of Richmond edition.

The Best of Richmond is our biggest edition of the year and certainly the one we most enjoy putting together.

It’s a chance for us to take a break from news beats to take a snapshot of the many things we love about this community. Many “best ofs” came to us through our day-to-day work, but a lot of eating and shopping went into our lists.

We’ve also asked some of our readers what they like best about the community.

And our readers took part as well in our annual Best of Richmond Reader’s Poll.

The top finisher in each category gets to place a funky Best of Richmond sticker in their store.

Congrats to all the winners!

And a special thanks to this year’s models Ranae Miller and Jonathan Grand Pierre. Miller is an actor who recently appeared in Hello Dolly! at the Massey Theatre, and was last seen on a Richmond stage at Christmas, during Gateway Theatre’s production of The Sound of Music. A bright future lies ahead for her, having won a 2011 Ovation Award for Outstanding Newcomer. Grand Pierre, a native of Haiti, co-owns Nooch Snack & Chill and is keenly interested in community-building. Both were featured in this year’s 30 Under 30 Edition.

The photos were taken by Rob Newell. The cover was designed by James Marshall.

Matthew Hoekstra photo Hundreds of people turned out at Richmond City Hall on Monday night as CrapLife made a presentation to council in support of genetically modified food.

twitter.com/richmondreview

Best way to start a revolution Invite Monsanto to your party! This staple of CropLife Canada’s diet is at the cutting edge of controversy, dipping its genetically modified kernels into whatever vat of flammable chemicals it can find. Genetically modified food? Sure. Pesticides? You got ’em!

So when the community got word a CropLife spokesperson was set to defend genetic engineering—ahead of a council vote to ban its spirit here— hundreds jammed into council chambers for the meeting. So packed that some had to resort to watching a tiny TV alongside the Shaw cameraman (he’s really nice).

The meeting’s result? A unanimous vote from elected officials, who approved a council resolution banning genetically modified crops here, while exempting three existing dairy farms already growing genetically modified corn. The city doesn't have enforcement powers, however, as regulation of such crops and food products is a federal responsibility.

As for CropLife, a representative did indeed appear before city council, after about twoand-a-half hours of listening to supporters of council's resolution. Janice Tranberg, CropLife’s vice-president for Western Canada, talked about

the science behind the use of plant technologies employed by manufacturers and distributors like Monsanto.

But council didn't buy it, casting a unanimous vote against genetically modified crops after three hours of delegations and discussion.

Among those on council, was the venerable farmer Coun.

Harold Steves, on the eve of his 75th birthday (which was Tuesday).

So if you’re tired of attracting just a dozen or so folks to your protest, next time make sure it's a Monsanto protest. Accept no substitutes or genetic alterations.

Dedicated to Mary We’d like to dedicate this year’s Best of Richmond in memory of Mary Gazetas, who passed away in April.

Mary inspired so many people in this community through her art, heritage advocacy and work in food security. Before the first Best of Richmond edition five years ago, Mary used to do an annual “best of” in her column, Folio One.

The City of Richmond has contracted Imperial Paving Ltd. to grind and pave the following location in Richmond from June 1 to August 31: • Knight Street – North and south bound lanes of Knight Street Bridge to Cambie Road Overpass Work hours will be 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.

Traffic will be reduced to single-lane and there may be temporary lane closures. Delays may occur. The use of an alternate route is strongly encouraged.

This work is weather dependent and dates are subject to change without notice.

Questions may be directed to Wasim Memon, Supervisor, Engineering Inspections, at 604-276-4189, or visit the City’s paving program webpage at www.richmond.ca (City Services > Roads, Dykes, Water & Sewers > Construction Projects > 2012 Paving).

REVIEW

Best real estate deal If someone said a detached house in Richmond could be had for $150,000, most would assume such an individual had just fallen off a turnip truck (Ryan Kesler’s agent said it, not us). Yet

some dated floating homes can be bought for such a song. The catch? A steep monthly moorage fee of $700 and the fact it’s not sitting on terra nova, but water.

Come to think of it, we see a

House Hunters episode in Richmond’s future. Will they choose a floating river oasis, a $1-million tear-down in Richmond’s core or a shack on stilts in Finn Slough?

Oh the drama.

In a city with a road called Garden City, it’s nice to see agricultural touches in urban settings, such as the green roofs atop Richmond Cultural Centre and AutoWest BMW. Since the Canada Line has given people a bird’s eye view on Richmond’s mostly ghastly City Centre rooftoops, it’s time to sprinkle some sod amongst those air-con units.

Richmondites are united against the foolish proposal to barge jet fuel up the Fraser and then slosh it through a 15-km pipeline to the airport.

While the pipeline is causing consternation, it’s the barging of the jet fuel that really has people riled up, with visions of oily beaches and gasslicked birds. However, since the feds can’t be bothered to dredge the South Arm of the Fraser River, it’s doubtful that before long a dinghy could make it up the river, let alone a fuel tanker.

bound to be buyers. Never mind you can buy nine base model Hyundai Accent sedans for the price of three Volts.

Welcome to Richmond, where you can drive north on Garden City Road and cross Bridgeport to learn that you are now on Great Canadian Way. Or head northbound on Sidaway and suddenly you are on Jacombs. Meanwhile, other roads keep their names, even with long interruptions, such as Shell Road, which becomes a trail at Westminster and a road again at Athabasca (and confusingly, to the east, Kingcome Avenue, also becomes Shell). Or the aforementioned Garden City, which ends about Williams, only to briey reappear at Steveston Highway and again just past Finn Road.

We’re still not sure about the future of the Famous Players Richmond 6 movie theatres at Richmond Centre. Last year plans surfaced for the business to be converted into a new food court for the mall. A theatre spokesperson, however, denied plans existed to close the theatre. The denial continued even after the mall had a development permit in hand to begin the conversion. This new area of the mall is set to open this fall, but no doubt in some theatre rep’s mind, the grand old screens will still be there. Somewhere in that big theatre in the sky.

Best hope at saving democracy

Best cars to make a fleet fancy

Best development denial Suggesting the future of a business—whose owner has applied to turn it into townhouses—is “uncertain� is, apparently, hogwash. The operators of SportsTown weren’t impressed with the Review’s suggestion, after a bright red rezoning sign was erected outside the No. 5 Road business. They had a plan, they insisted. The future wasn’t uncertain, they said. But when asked what that plan was, they wouldn’t say. As for what will happen, we’re certainly uncertain.

One of the most highly anticipated electric cars came to Richmond last fall. Actually three of them. The city bought a trio of Chevrolet Volt vehicles, each ringing in at $41,545, to add to the municipal government’s eet of vehicles. With a green policy that aims to make our local government carbonneutral this year, vehicles with no or low emissions are almost essential to meet that lofty target. Richmond was one of the ďŹ rst organizations to score the vehicles. It remains to be seen whether these cars will take off for the consumer market. But given the price of gas, there’s

Wait a minute—don’t accuse us of hyperbole. For last fall’s civic election, 23.7 per cent of voters actually cast ballots. And who were they casting votes for? Names on a list with the fewest number of candidates in decades. But that voter turnout was actually up from the last election, and was the ďŹ rst time in several elections that turnout increased, instead of decreased.

Richmond’s chief election ofďŹ cer David Weber led the charge for change, introducing a number of new measures aimed at boosting election interest. It appears they’re working.

Best city to get a room Richmond already boasts 27 hotels, but that isn’t stopping developers from lining up to get in on the action. So many hotels are proposed, we can’t count them all. OK, last month Mayor Malcolm Brodie said the number was 16. Imagine if, in several years, Richmond actually had 43 hotels to choose from. Longterm visitors to the city—visitors because they can’t afford a $1-million home—could live in a new hotel almost every week for one year, with only wiďŹ charges breaking the bank.

Thank You Richmond!

The Best of Richmond People & Places Best potential for a real park City-owned land on Mitchell Island’s Twigg Place is a tranquil spot on the Fraser River’s North Arm, nestled between warehouses, scrapyards and other industrial tenants on this otherwise eyesore of an island. This plot of land is actually a city park, with grass, a short trail, benches and the Mitchell Island Pier—a section of an old rail bridge that once connected the island with Vancouver. Understandably, little cash is earmarked for maintenance and facility upgrades here. But it’s a pity park users treat this place—Mitchell Island’s only green space—like a dump, including giving their dogs free reign to, well, dump. It’s high time area businesses step up.

Best politician to learn from Far be it for us to trumpet politicians and their character, but take Harold Steves. He has 42 years of civic service under his belt. Last year, the Union of B.C. Municipalities awarded him with a Long Service Award. It was the second time he earned the honour. That's like

getting a "Twice as Long Service Award." Now some taxpayers believe in term limits and that all politicians have a shelf life. Steves might be the best man to challenge that notion, as the long-serving councillor still brings energy to the council table.

McMaster University student Perri Tutelman was just a teenager when she founded the fundraising organization Cure for Kids and the fundraising event Making Magic Show.

Three years later, she’s still a teen but studying in university, at the age of 18.

Presented and supported by Boston Pizza and the Boston Pizza Foundation, this year’s third annual Making Magic Show will be hosted by CTV meteorologist Michael Kuss, and is once again being held at River Rock Casino Resort on Sunday, June 3 at 1:30 p.m.

All monies raised will support various pediatric care facilities in B.C. to fund research and help children with life-threatening illnesses.

Tickets are $15 each and can be purchased at tinyurl.com/ RichmondMagic Founded in 2009, The Cures for Kids Foundation has raised tens of thousands of dollars and boasts an impressive board of directors: Seth Rogan, Tamara Taggart and David Suzuki.

“I am ecstatic to have watched the foundation bloom into a significant Vancouver non-profit with tremendous support from the community and various corporations,” said Tutelman. “In just under three years, the foundation has

Perri Tutelman.

raised over $100,000 allowing us to fund some extremely worthwhile causes. I can’t believe how much Cures for Kids has grown, and it’s a true testament to the support of our community.”

This Sunday’s fundraiser will feature face painting, an interactive learning centre, carnival treats, balloon animals, a photobooth, and more.

Trevor and Lorena Watters’ magical spectacular with special guests—Gary Savard, Simon English and Brian Cook—is slated to begin at 3 p.m., and promise an exciting afternoon for all.

Hello Robin Silvester.

When Robin Silvester, the boss of Port Metro Vancouver looks at local farmland, it’s like Sylvester looking at Tweedy. Silvester has become a supervillain for food security advocates, by painting efforts to protect farmland as being sentimental, when it’s so much cheaper to ship in foods from elsewhere. Such logic neglects the growing interest in locallygrown food. More and more consumers are preferring produce from local farms as opposed to buying an imported head of lettuce that wilts by the time you unpack the groceries. And what happens if California, America’s produce section, continues to look more and more like something out of The Road Runner Show?

The Best of Richmond People & Places Best intersection to avoid For all the hullabaloo of the Steveston scramble at No. 1 Road and Moncton Street, it can be a nightmare to navigate—thanks to jerks who don't follow the rules. Twitchy-foot pedestrians who can't interpret walk and stop signals, this means you.

Anyone who's been down at this intersection in the heat of a summer weekend knows something needed to be done here. A traffic light, you say? Yes, but the city went one step farther, making a statement with a unique intersection that's a bit of a tourist stop unto itself. But for drivers in the know, too many dumb-dumbs make Chatham, Railway and Bayview a motorist's best friends.

Best intersection that could also be a tourist hotspot We couldn't do a Best of Richmond edition without mentioning the intersection of Granville Avenue and Garden City Road. Transportation planners, you're tired of it, we know, so look away. For everyone else, how about creating some fun way-finding signs directing the curious to this point of interest? Traffic signal technology and modern engineering feats be damned, this spot is sheer creative brilliance. Planners see change coming in the future here, but why remove such a marvel from a city known for its driving excellence?

Best way to ring in 80 years

Best park to spot a bear

2012 is supposed to be the end of the world, but instead this year has all been about celebrating.

The Richmond Review celebrates 80 years bringing the news to local residents, from community news, to the theatrical and arts scene and the sporting achievements of locals.

But 80 years has given The Richmond Review time to become so much more than just about the news.

We see ourselves as community leaders, and more and more people in the community can see the difference in the extra efforts we take to make this community great. And celebrating all that’s great about Richmond is really what the Best of Richmond is all about, so we’d be remiss if we cast the limelight a little our own way.

The John M.S. Lecky UBC Boathouse is honored to be included in The Best of Richmond.

Thank you to the many Richmond Residents that voted for us!

That’s right, a bear. McDonald Beach Park proved it was a bit of a bear destination last summer. Park visitors reported multiple sightings of a black bear. With few homes in the immediate area, conservation officers deemed it a low priority.

It’s unknown whether the bear left on its own, or officers managed to capture and relocate the animal.

Of course, the bear could still be there. In that case, dog-walkers who come upon the animal should use their best Care Bear Stare to defuse the situation. Ask a child of the ’80s (just not Grumpy Bear).

Works every time.

REVIEW 2012

Richmond has many great awards events, but some of them have a tendency to go into double overtime.

For example, the 911 Awards is a great event, but they go on so long, people are tempted to call 911.

Some exceptions to this are the Volunteers are Stars Awards and Tourism Richmond’s Service Awards.

Volunteers are Stars offers three action-packed hours of dinner and inspiring stories about volunteers.

But it’s always over by 9 p.m.

Elizabeth Specht, executive director of Volunteer Richmond Information Services, which organizes Volunteers are Stars, used to joke that the awards ended on time the first year so she get home to catch West Wing.

(Actually, may she not have been joking, but attendees appreciate getting home at a good time.)

And Tourism Richmond’s Service Awards feature a munch and mingle featuring some tasty offerings from local hotels before a quick runthrough of some of Richmond’s

service sector heroes. And people are well on their way home by nine.

And Don Fennell, while proofing this page, also pointed out that the Richmond Sports Awards are also done by 9.

Best chat needed prior to a road hockey tournament The annual Const. Jimmy Ng Memorial Ball Hockey Tournament is great community get-together in honour of a well-liked RCMP officer who died on duty.

But someone needs to sit down with the captains of each teams in the recreational and competitive divisions and deliver a simple message: Remember who you’re playing against and what you’re playing for.

As overwhelmingly positive as last weekend’s event was at Thompson Community Centre, there’s still issues that need addressing on the competitive front.

When you have full-grown teenage boys wiping out little kids, it’s a sign that organizers need to step in, and team leaders need to look themselves in the mirror.

And referees should be informed that behaviour like that exhibited last weekend will never be condoned again.

Sadly, this isn’t the first year where issues like this have cropped up.

This isn’t the National Hockey League, and testosterone-fuelled, out-of-control behaviour has no place here.

This tournament should be about respect, honour, sportsmanship, leadership and friendly competition.

Jaegar Mah spent 80 days living at YVR.

Best show of persistence

Tom Hanks in The Terminal. Wait a minute Jaeger, is that a Planters peanut can?

Spending 80 days trapped at the airport is one thing. But voluntarily doing so and competing in a contest for the privilege is another matter entirely. But kudos to Jaeger Mah who was the face behind Vancouver Airport Authority’s Live@YVR contest. We’re sure his experience at Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel was excellent, and even the food at the airport’s various restaurants and eateries must have been good.

But to put your life on hold for three months and give up the right of leaving Sea Island during that time?

That takes a special person. He did receive $15,000 for efforts, which included regular online reports of airport activities, but we’ve seen

Best way to abandon modesty YVR unveiled its Engine Testing Facility in January—a ground runup enclosure for propeller-engine aircraft at South Terminal. And for those who aren’t familiar with the airport authority’s motive, it’s boldly emblazoned along the structure’s side: “Reducing Aircraft Noise in Our Community.” So for those Richmond residents who collectively lodged 196 noise complaints with the airport in 2010, know that your continuallysprawling airport has got your back.

And if you complain again, refer back to the building’s words.

My Best of Richmond Colin Dring

Ying Wang is executive and artistic director of Cinevolution Media Arts Society, which organizes the annual Your Kontinent film festival in Richmond.

Yummy local nutritious food for all.

Best thing you like about Richmond?

“Every spring through fall there is an abundance of amazing, high quality local produce grown by Richmond’s talented farmers.”

Best thing you like about Richmond?

“Farms, River Road, dykes, birds. Nature is so close to us.”

Best Richmond memory?

“In one rainy day, I walked along the West Dyke from the end of Terra Nova park to the end of the Garry Point Park.”

Best lunch spot?

“Dim Sum at the Shiang Garden Seafood Restaurant (4540 No. 3 Rd.).”

Best hidden gem?

“Opera in the Minoru Chapel.”

Best thing you’d like to see in Richmond.

“To see Richmond build its own performance hall and art

cinema. I always say that if there is one day that the Your Kontinent festival could open in Richmond’s new beautiful performance hall, that day will be the happiest day in my life.”

Best Richmond memory?

“Biking down to Gary Point with friends in the summertime and spending the day sharing food, stories and playing music on the beach. Those were truly magical evenings.”

Best lunch spot?

“New favorite is

turning out to be Nooch across from city hall. The owner’s vision is about fresh food and they produce some really amazing dishes. I am a sucker for the quinoa salad. The staff are super friendly and create a positive atmosphere every time I show up.”

Best hidden gem?

“The East Richmond Nature Park out by the Auto Mall.

I didn’t know this little spot existed until me and some friends did some trail building and planting a couple of years back. It’s a real gem that gets very little use which makes for some nice secluded moments of escape

from the city life.”

Best thing you’d like to see in Richmond?

“Showcasing of the amazing work that passionate and engaged community members and organi-

zations are doing in Richmond. There’s a ton of initiatives that often fly under the radar.

“We need more occasions to celebrate the work that these amazing people do.”

My Best of Richmond Jason Timmis

Celebrating 45 years in the Community!

A seriously uncomplicated man with questionable comedic skills.

Best thing you like about Richmond?

“I’ve seen a lot of changes since I first moved to Richmond in 1983. The positive side of those changes for me have been the diversity in the food, shopping and recreation choices.

I don’t think we are riding on the coat tales of Vancouver any more for having world class selection.”

Timothy WeaverGraves Timothy WeaverGraves, 16, is a Grade 10 student at Steveston-London Secondary.

Best thing you like about Richmond?

“The sense of community particularly in Steveston. Because I know people and they know what I’m like, it was easier for me to get up the courage to go look for my first summer job.”

Best Richmond memory?

“Flying kites at Garry Point in the sunshine then watching the sun go down over the Salish Sea.”

Best Richmond memory?

“This one is easy for me—our time with Milan Ilich. An inspirational pioneer and employer in this city and someone we should all strive to be like in terms of giving back what and where we can.”

Best lunch spot?

“Anywhere in Steveston with a patio.”

Best hidden gem?

Join us in commemorating 45 glorious years on Friday, June 1st at our No. 3 Road restaurant in Richmond.

“If you enjoy our dyke trails and river side walks and like early morning quietness try the Britannia area at 4:30 a.m. in late May and June; the sunrise and stillness are recharging

to the soul.”

Best thing you’d like to see in Richmond?

“Short answer: Complete priority given to farmers and farmland.”

Best place for a ball park Vancouver International Airport, home of an aquarium, its own shopping district and, well, airplanes. But it’s also now home to Japa Dog, a hot dog food cart that’s a sensation to those who love the street meat. What goes

better with hot dogs than a good ol’ fashioned baseball game?

Now we’re not suggesting airport crews haul out the bats, balls and gloves on runway space, but with YVR’s huge land base, there’s got to be room for a ball

park. YVR is planning a business park, an upscale shopping centre, a hotel—why not a touristdrawing diamond? No ideas here on who would play, but there’d be hotdogs. Oh yes, seaweedtopped hotdogs.

Best place to get your goat Tired of beef, chicken, lamb and pork? Down on duck, too? How about goat? Goat is popular in South Asia, Spain, Africa and the Caribbean, but isn’t likely to pop up in your local Canadian supermarket. But Superior Halal Meat & Deli (4020 No. 5 Rd.) does have goat, whether it be stewing pieces, whole leg or shoulder. Does it taste like lamb, you ask? No, it tastes like goat.

Best cosmopolitan restaurant As Arzeena Hamir mentioned in a recent column, Garden City Kebob Grill (137-9040 Blundeel Rd.) has gone through an unusual evolution. Initially a fish and chip shop, it has added Mediterranean, Turkish and Filipino food with each successive owner. The interesting thing is that the new menu items don’t bump off the old ones, so you can have falafel, fish and chips and taho all in one restaurant.

“All three very different cuisines live side-by-side in relative harmony...it truly represents what Richmond’s all about,” notes Hamir.

twitter.com/steveston photo The Street Meet truck garnered lots of attention in Steveston.

Best idea for a new restaurant Not too long ago, options for eating Asian food were pretty much limited to Danny’s Wun Tun House or sipping drinks out of those porcelain idols at the now-gone Suehiro’s. Fast forward to 2012, and you can dine on any style of Chinese food, not to mention Japanese, Vietnamese, Indian and Korean. But there’s one thing lacking in Richmond right now and that’s South Indian food, in particulars dosas. A dosa is a crepe made from fermented rice and dal and is served stuffed or plain with sambar and coconut chutney.

The classic filling is potato and onion, but there’s all sorts of options. There was a dosa joint briefly on Westminster, but it’s now closed, which is too bad, since dosas are nothing short of delicious. Richmond needs a dosa restaurant fast.

The food truck Street Meet caused a stir in Steveston earlier this spring when it began selling Mediterranean meals curbside—despite a city bylaw that doesn’t allow mobile food vendors on city streets. Of course Street Meet’s operators had covered all the bases, right? They had a mobile food vending licence and the blessing of city hall to sell on the street for two hours at a time. Well, not exactly.

The city was under the impression the truck would be serving work sites and film locations. A tad different than picking

off tourists on Bayview Street—the same tourists who local restaurateurs rely on to pay the bills.

Bylaw bourguignon anyone?

Ed Lau gets ready to launch into a burger.

Best attention getter

Matthew Hoekstra photo Harold Cross loves the restaurant at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel. Staff like him there, too—so much so that they named the restaurant after him.

Best restaurant customer in Richmond This distinction is reserved for Harold Cross, the man most lunchtime diners at Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel’s restaurant Harold’s Bistro and Bar have seen before. That’s because Cross, 90, has been

a regular at the restaurant— once known as the Wayfaring Tree—since 1980, rarely missing a day for lunch. And kudos to hotel management, who know how to treat their best customer right. When the

hotel changed ownership a few years ago, executives decided to name the restaurant after him. They’ve given him his own parking spot and dining chair, and also pick up his tab. A toast—to Harold.

How would you like to eat at a different Richmond restaurant every day for 365 days? (It’s pretty easy to do, since there’s 800 of them.) And the catch? You’ll get paid $50,000 to write about it. That’s what Tourism Richmond did earlier this year and the press has just eaten it up.

Now down to three finalists for the job (the winning candidate should be announced very soon), the Richmond Foodie Blogger contest has already garnered Richmond’s food scene a lot of international exposure.

Best local food blog Ed Lau was one of the short-listed finalists for Tourism Richmond’s Richmond Foodie Blogger contest.

His EdEats.com blog offers one of the best looks at Richmond restaurants (as well as other Lower Mainland eateries). Lau likes to eat close to home and eschews the whoo-wee hyberbole with honest assessments of restaurants. We’ve been tipped off to quite a few new lunch spots thanks to his blog. Though she tends to focus more on Vancouver restaurants, Richmond writer Mijune Pak also has a great food blog at www. followmefoodie.com. While many food blogs pass off caption writing as food criticism, Pak’s site packs plenty of photos with detailed descriptions.

Best hope for the Canucks next season Jen Bell in Steveston might be the Canucks’ best hope at winning a cup next season.

During the historic run for the cup last year, the namesake of Bell’s Bake Shop designed a creative cupcake

in the likeness of Lord Stanley’s Cup. They were a bear to make, but customers wanted them. Short of a return to the days of magical Sedinery, a Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy-esque season from Ryan Kesler and impenetrable defence, Bell’s could offer Cup-starved hockey fans the only taste of glory.

If you happen to be walking in certain parts of Richmond, you may be stepping over something you could use in your kitchen. We won’t be giving away the location of our favourite spot, but nettles can be found in parts of Terra Nova and South Richmond. A few tips: pick them when they are young and wear gloves, otherwise you will quickly learn why they are called stinging nettles. Use leaves pureed in soups or steep them into a vitamin- and mineral-rich tea.

The Best of Richmond Food Best old sign, new food

Best area where restaurants are stepping it up East Richmond has some pretty popoular restaurants in Contintental Seafood Restaurant (more on them later), Himalaya, Tandoori Kona and Daddy’s Delight Pizza (more on them later, too) among others, and Kiyo has long been one of Richmond’s best Japanese restaurants.

But mention food beyond the Cambie and No. 5 Road area and, for most people, that elicits images of drive-thrus, 75¢ IKEA hot dogs and diners with menus recalling the Queen of Saanich in the 1970s. But East Richmond has seen some hip additions in the most unlikely of areas— industrial parks. Nooch Snack & Chill (3757 Jacombs Road) has a beautiful interior with white furniture and a red wall that make you forget you’re in warehouse country. The menu hits the spot too, with imaginative sandwiches, salads and wraps. (A new Nooch has opened up across from city hall.) And even deeper in East Richmond, Gastown’s Two Chefs and a Table set up shop at 3331 Viking Way with a takeout counter and full-service restaurant at the back. Those working nearby whose culinary highlight of the day used to be the arrival of the sandwich truck can’t believe their luck.

Bhreandáin Clugston photo The kebab platter at Daddy’s Delight.

Best small menu that makes a big impression Not much to choose from on the mall menu at Daddy’s Delight Pizza (No. 5 Road and Cambie), heck they’ve even been without pizza lately. But what is lacking in variety is more than made up with in taste. Basically, you are getting Persian-style grilled food. You have a choice of beef or chicken (or both) kebabs in a pita or on a platter with rice. But the pita is made from scratch as you order—no stale frisbees from a bag here—and is worth the 10 minutes it takes to prepare. Even better is the platter, which comes with saffronflecked rice and a salad, plus

onion and lime, if you wish. Our favourite is the soltani—that’s sultan’s feast—one skewer each of beef and chicken. Call ahead if you are in a hurry.

Best dinner for 450 Continental Seafood Restaurant is the venue of choice for Richmond Chinese Community Society’s annual Chinese New Year community dinner or fundraisers featuring visiting politicians. What is impressive on those nights is how consistently good the food is. Churning out 10-course meals for 450 people isn’t easy, but Continental can balance quality and quantity at the same time.

Bamboo Grove (6920 No. 3 Rd.) was once upon a time a chop suey restaurant. Over the years, the new owner has been slowly transforming the interior into a posh Chinese restaurant, but has left the exterior for last. So those expecting a bowl of shop suey will be surprised to see a pricey menu with some creative food choices. The Pork Stomach & Gingko Long-boiled Soup was a big hit during last year’s Chinese Restaurant Awards Signature Dish Dining Festival. The other interesting thing about Bamboo Grove is the wine list—there’s a very interesting selection of cellar wines, including some hard-to-find Bordeaux.

Best charcuterie A year or so ago, some very authentic looking European-style sausages started showing up in select places around Vancouver. They are the work of Drews Driessen, a fifth generation sausage-maker from Germany. Working out of his Vancouver D-Original Sausage shop, Driessen makes such sausages as French sec and ronde d’ail, the amazing Spanish fuet and a great Ukrainian sausage. Now D-Original Sausage Haus has opened up in Steveston as an outlet for Driessen’s creations as well as a few other meats from around the world. Try the chorizo, matadors and the fennel-flecked fulano.

Best parkade to be trapped in during an emergency Sometimes it doesn’t take an emergency to get stuck inside Superstore’s ground-level parkade on No. 3 Road. All those grocery-hungry motorists. No doubt most are heading in for jugs of milk and Huggies, but some come just for HK B.B.Q. Master—one of the curiously-designed buildings/shops/restaurants that surround the grocery giant. This spot has some pretty good roast pork—enough to attract lines at peak times. If leaving the parking lot isn’t an option, join the others for some Hong Kong comfort food.

Best pineapple bun Lido Restaurant’s pineapple bun is something to behold. Or just eat. This Hong Kong style eatery is located in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it strip mall between Aberdeen Centre and Parker Place, on Hazelbridge Way, and serves up fresh-baked buns for $1.55. To the uninitiated, the pineapple bun isn’t actually made with pineapples, much like some macaroni and cheese products may not actually contain cheese. The sugary golden-brown crust gives this pastry a little bit of a pineapple look—hence the name. Making these buns isn’t rocket science, it’s a pillowy soft art that Lido has mastered. Just avoid the accompanying stick of butter.

“I was fed up with the feel and Àt problems of a full denture. I wanted stable teeth without the bulky coverage over the roof of my mouth. I heard about implants and went to see Dr. Nelson.

Dr. Nelson gave me my smile back. I would deÀnitely recommend implant dentistry with Dr. Nelson to anyone considering it or maybe this is the Àrst time you might be inÁuenced. If you are debating the decision, I would say, ‘Do it!’”

Best thing you like about Richmond?

“Richmond is a city of contrasts. Living in the central part and being surrounded by the busyness of newly developed high-rises and the futuristic Canada Line, you can take a five-minute

drive to the outskirts and feel like you are in a different world—of farmlands and fishing villages.”

Best Richmond memory and best lunch spot?

“Being a performing artist, my life takes me on the road very often. No matter where in the world I am, I always crave for, yes, sushi. I have tried so many places abroad, but noth-

ing can replace my hometown (Richmond) experience.

“My family knows that the first order of business upon my return is a trip to Matsuyama (Japanese restaurant on Alexandra Road).”

Best hidden gem?

“Steveston Village is booming with new developments and a gorgeous waterfront.

It’s a must on every traveller’s list.”

Best thing you’d like to see in Richmond?

“The answer to this question is less romantic. I really want to see public transit going further on No. 2 Road, past Moncton. There are so many new businesses (including my own), new condos and townhouses that it is a basic necessity to have a solid and reliable transit. I hope it is coming soon!”

My Best of Richmond Colin Foo Colin Foo is a Richmond actor and artist whose latest project is playing the role of Grand Master in the Mortal Kombat: Legacy web series based on the long-running video game franchise.

Best thing you like about Richmond?

“We are indeed blessed in Richmond with so many wonderful places and things that it is extremely difficult to choose one as the best.

The London Heritage House to sip afternoon English tea. The fish and chips that permeates the air as you walk down Steveston’s Fisherman’s Wharf. Garry Point and kites flying in the blue skies. The Minoru Park with the beautiful Minoru Chapel. Leaving the best for last: sitting on a bench on the dyke facing the Pacific Ocean watching the summer sun set.”

Best Richmond memory?

“When I first came to Canada over 30 years ago my parents brought the family to a straw-

Proudly serving the Richmond Community for more than 30 years

We also sell Hormone-Free, Non-Medicated, Chicken, Lamb and Dry-Age Beef from the Fraser Valley and Free-Range, Organic Eggs from Rabbit River Farms.

Best lunch spot?

“Richmond is cosmopolitan restaurant heaven; I don’t have any problem if I want Chinese, Vietnamese, Greek, Japanese, Italian or any other national dishes.

“But when I am hankering for Japanese I go to the new Tokyo Joe’s Ramen Okawari on Ackroyd.”

Best hidden gem?

“The Richmond Nature Park. The kids love the butterflies emerging from their cocoons, the varieties of flowers, trees and the walking trails. It is the fact that nature is alive in the middle of the city makes it a precious gem.”

Best thing you like about Richmond? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trails. Besides the dyke trailsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one can circumnavigate the island by bike in three hoursâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Richmond

Best Richmond memory? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a young student at Richmond Christian Elementary.

When I was in Grade 4, a new school building opened. Everything about it seemed huge.

Then there was the field. It too was huge.

No grass, just rocks.

Lots of them. So many that the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administrators organized a rock-picking day. It turned into a bit of a competition, with the kids gleefully picking thousands of rocks out of the dirt and dumping them on a parking lot pile. So clever.â&#x20AC;?

Best lunch spot? â&#x20AC;&#x153;With The Reviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office now in northeast Richmond, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fewer nearby lunch offerings than the centre of town.

Best hidden gem? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to say Rogers Plus at Blundell Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; being the only large movie rental outlet in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but alas, it closed this year. So my vote goes to Iona Beach Regional Park.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next to a wastewater treatment plant, so the optics of playing in the water arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good.

But water quality at this beachâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;when you hit the tides rightâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is among the best in the Lower Mainland. Build yourself a driftwood barrier from the offleash dogs, watch the airplanes and soak up the sun.â&#x20AC;?

Best thing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see in Richmond? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A unique urban flavour. Richmond has grown immensely in the past few decades, with lots of high-rises sprouting up, a new downtown slowly emerging and an explosion of a diverse population. City planners are envisioning City Centre as having pedestrian-friendly streetscapesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;even a vibrant night life. But so far, downtown Richmond doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an urban identity. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little character to draw people in, keep them there and spark conversation afterwards.

But with responsible growth, the potential exists.â&#x20AC;?

Dave McArthur organizes monthly Steveston Folk Guild concerts at

the Chinese Bunkhouse at Britannia Heritage Shipyard.

Eight bucks for a concert, you say? Yes—in Steveston each month. With minimum wage for most shooting up to $10.25 this May, that’s like working three-quarters of an hour for the best darn tootin’ night of folk music one can have, thanks to the Steveston Folk Guild. Each month, Dave McArthur organizes a show at the Chinese Bunkhouse at Britannia Heritage Shipyard—a fitting venue to hear narrative songs and traditional melodies brought to life by guitars, fiddles and harmonicas. Sure beats listening to relatives hum “This Land is Your Land.”

One of the city’s few performing arts venues happens to be located at one of the city’s few places to go after dark.

River Rock Casino Resort’s Show Theatre hosts all kinds of acts, with Robin Williams being the next big name to grace the stage. Joan Rivers was just here—so was George Thorogood.

But between shows featuring such major North American stars, the theatre also hosts acts like Cantopop singer-songwriter Albert Au and Russian actor Sergey Bezrukov.

It’s too bad these shows are almost exclusively marketed in the language of such stars, leaving guys like the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, on the outside looking in.

The Best of Richmond Arts & Entertainment Best public art that will never see Minoru Park Last summer a Hong Kong design team built a candy-coated Great Pyramid and Great Sphinx of Giza at Aberdeen Centre.

Countless M&M’s were used for the Egyptian-themed project that celebrated the short life of King Tutankhamun, who ruled Egypt for 10 years until his death at age 18. Now just imagine these candied chocolate creations at Minoru Park. Would an exhibition of red, yellow, green, blue and orange look incredible in the midst of Richmond’s urban oasis? No question. But it also might attract the attention of a few rabbits, give or take a legion. And last we checked, M&M’s don’t make for good rabbit kibble.

Best place to try out naturism The Phoenix Art Workshop in Steveston holds occasional life drawing sessions for artists. To be clear, that’s artists creating work by using the naked human form as the subject. The workshop, which specializes in specialty art classes for special

artists, even held a life drawing marathon in January—13 hours of drawing and painting nude models.

If posing for sustained periods with nothing but a room’s breeze serving as a cloak sounds interesting, local artists are here to help.

Best place to avoid for portrait photography Britannia Heritage Shipyard is a lovely setting for photographs. Problem is, professional photographers have blown it for the rest of us.

Weddings, engagements, anniversaries, family sessions, album covers, artist promos—whatever the occasion, Britannia’s battered wood siding and uncommon odes to the Fraser are becoming too common. We’re not saying it’s time Britannia gets dumped like a Britney Spears album should—or yoga pants as work attire, for that matter—but let’s just add some diversity to our photo shoots, shall we? I mean, next thing you know, Britannia will be on the cover of The Richmond Review’s Best Of Richmond edition. OK, so it was in 2011, but that was last year. Lay off—it’s a nice place.

Richmond Public Library has always been quick to react to emerging trends in Richmond. The library responded to Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s change in demographics by adding an extensive collection of Chineselanguage books. And the library didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss the boat on technology by adding a collection of audiobooks and DVDs. Now, as e-readers are booming, the Brighouse branch has launched the Test Drive Centre, where visitors are welcome to try seven different devices that allow users to read digital books. You can give Apple iPad, iPod Touch, Sony Wi-fi, Blackberry Playbook, Toshiba Thrive, Kobo Vox and Kobo Touch a try. If none of these e-readers take your fancy, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still thousands and thousands of books to peruse the old-fashioned way.

Best place to film a movie based on a J.G. Ballard story Between the two halves of Richmond Nature Park, there is an island of green space pretty much cut off from access by highways and No. 5 Road at its least pedestrian friendly point. J.G. Ballard, the guy who wrote Empire of the Sun and Crash, also penned Concrete Island, which is

about a man who crashes his car into an â&#x20AC;&#x153;islandâ&#x20AC;? of waste land surrounded by highway. A movie starring Christian Bale is potentially in the works.

Maybe if our provincial government came up with more competitive tax breaks for the ďŹ lm industry, it could shoot here.

Three RCC policy resolutions passed at BC Chamber AGM he Richmond Chamber of Commerce would like to thank their policy committee for all the hard work involved in moving our policy submissions forward to the Provincial level.

Annually the Richmond Chamber of Commerce forms a committee consisting of directors and Chamber Manager to review the BC Chamber of Commerce policy and positions manual. These policies advocate issues important to the Richmond area. This year RCC submitted three policies to the BC Chamber AGM. The three policies are: Fraser River Flood Management, (this resolution will

T

be directed to both the Provincial and Federal Government), Attracting Global Talent Key to Canada’s Economic Future and Fraser River Navigation Management. We are proud to announce that all three policies were voted on and adopted last week by the BC Chamber membership at the AGM policy sessions.

The first stage that policies must pass is the BC Chamber Policy Review Committee.

The review committee can on their discretion support or not support submitted resolutions.

We are happy to announce that the Policy Review Committee has shown their support all three policies.

Many of the policies submitted by Chambers have been used to lobby government at all levels. Our resolution will be reviewed by the Provincial Government on your behalf.

“RCC is proud of its achievements to date in the area of policy development for the enhancement of Richmond Businesses. We will continue to work on your behalf to advance a policy agenda that ensures the Richmond business community has the resources, infrastructure, and opportunities to extend its global competitiveness and keep our region’s economy strong and growing.”

Lisa Wong, Chair, RCC

Flood management is economically crucial

Attracting talent key to Canada’s economic future

he Fraser River has always been a driving force in the economy of the Province of British Columbia. Hundreds of thousands of residents work on and around the river, or with businesses and industries that rely on this vital waterway. Creating a comprehensive, long-term solution to flood management of the Fraser is a critical component to maintaining Canada’s gateway to the Asia Pacific region.

Our elaborate system of dykes and pumps that protect farmland, industry and residents is now utilized to capacity, in large part due to changes in weather patterns and tidal levels that have affected the flow of the River. It is time the Provincial and Federal government begins working with local governments and First Nations to develop a proactive long-term strategy to maintain this powerful, harnessed river.

s Canada’s Asia Pacific Gateway, the Province of British Columbia is at the forefront of the pacific century. While this provides new opportunities for industry development and investment in the province, increasingly, participation in this marketplace will demand a new look at the commitment to attracting skilled employees and talented entrepreneurs to the province and country. Demographics challenges and competition amongst jurisdictions are growing significantly and the pace of global demand for talented individuals means that Canadian companies must be allowed to effectively compete in this global context.

Increasingly global in their own right, without the ability

T

The Fraser River and its 13 main watersheds drain more than a quarter of the Province and are home to over 2.73 million people (67% of the province’s population). Beyond its geographic importance, this basin is a vital component of Canada’s gateway to the Asia Pacific region.

In addition to contributing a full 80% of the provincial economic output and 65% of total household income, it also contains 21 million hectares of forest. The Fraser Basin‘s farms, ranches and orchards comprise half of all BC’s agricultural lands, the Fraser Valley alone exceeds $1.4 billion in farm receipts. Eight major mines located in the basin account for 60% of BC’s metal mine production. In addition, the basin contributes 67% of total tourism revenue.1 The volume

to attract this highly mobile talent pool, Canadian companies will fall behind, hampering our economic prosperity and reducing the opportunities available to all Canadians.

While British Columbia and Canada face steep demographic and workforce challenges in the coming years, for many industries, this is already a daily reality1. These businesses need access to global talent in a timely fashion, or face losing investment and business to their international competitors. In order to remain competitive, these companies require predictable and efficient government programs to assist them in bringing talented

A Supplement to The Richmond Review

richmondchamber.ca

FUTURE, continued from page 42 individuals to our shores and in turn, create new employment for all Canadians.

In recent years, the federal government and provincial governments have undertaken a series of initiatives to respond to the needs of industry, but more can and must be done2. To address funding and resource capacity challenges, the current federal immigration programs would benefit greatly from employing best practices currently being used by their provincial counterparts, including adopting new cost recovery models and expedited service programs in order to better match industry demand with the government’s ability to respond.

Currently, funding for important economic immigration programs comes from annual appropriations of general revenue as determined by the federal budget. This process makes it hard to match program demands with the appropriate resources.

Establishing a cost recovery model similar to that of the BC Provincial Nominee Program, with a separate line item budget and associated performance requirements, would allow the federal government to better respond to industry demand, saving employers precious weeks and months which adversely impact their bottom lines in lost productivity and increased costs3. Mirroring current provincial programs, additional consideration should be given to establishing “fast lane” options for companies and industries that are willing to pay a premium for expedited service. When

combined, these initiatives would better meet the needs of industry and facilitate job creation and productivity gains for the country.

In 25 years, only 60% of the Canadian population will be of working age4. In addition, we must stay competitive by gaining highly sought-after skills, talent and experience in the international marketplace. To further meet the needs

of our country’s fastest growing industries, a stronger emphasis on the economic impact and spin off job creation from attracting foreign talent must be incorporated into government requirements, like the current labour market opinion or “LMO” process. For the country’s knowledge based industries, being able to hire key global talent acts as a catalyst to hire many other Canadians.

Without this talent, this additional job

creation is lost.

Stronger emphasis on such factors in the LMO process will only assist in Canada’s economic competitiveness and creating new jobs for Canadians.

Canada’s future rests on our ability to attract and retain the best and brightest from around the globe. Reforming and adapting economic immigration programs to better meet these challenges is an important step in ensuring our continued economic prosperity.

THE CHAMBER RECOMMENDS: That the provincial government(s) work with the federal government to: 1. Place a stronger emphasis on economic and employment stimulus in LMO criteria and in Temporary Foreign Worker Unit (TFWU) applications such as: potential number of jobs created, amount of total investment by company, potential investment by the company, unique or new service or product offering, rural location of the company and/or it’s operations, business succession planning, the affect on the company’s ability to maintain competitive, and the affect on other Canadian companies; 2. Develop an affordable cost recovery model and separate line item budget for LMO, temporary foreign workers, Federal Skilled Worker and Canadian Experience class programs; and 3. Develop “fast lane” option with associated performance requirements for employers who choose to pay a premium for expedited service on LMO applications, TFWU applications, and Temporary Foreign Workers requiring Temporary Resident Visas (TRV) and work permit application processing from visa offices/consulates.

4. Allow the current Temporary Foreign Worker Units the ability to review possible LMO-exempt work permit applications for foreign nationals requiring TRVs or foreign nationals who are visa-exempt but outside Canada.

FLOOD, continued from page 42

Provincial Ministries presently involved in flood control include the Solicitor General, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Energy and Mines, and the Ministry of Forest, Lands and Natural Resources Operations.

A recent survey of Lower Fraser stakeholders indicates that dredging, siltation, gravel, as well as flood mitigation and protection, are the top four pressing issues we currently face. Flood protection and habitat loss were identified as the top issues that would benefit from collaboration.2 In a quantitative flood risk assessment for the City of Chilliwack completed in 2009, damage and loss figures from a dyke breach scenario exceed $1 billion, not including post-event environmental or health factors. Chilliwack is one of 12 cities that shares banks with the Fraser River.

While natural shifts in river course and flow are anticipated, the effect of harnessing a river of this size through development along its banks has at once prevented course shifts while also increasing the impacts of modifications

of goods moving on the Fraser River rivals the volume of goods transported on the St. Lawrence seaway, however the amount spent maintaining the Fraser is a fraction of that spent on the St Lawrence.

In order to avoid the very real threat of flooding, annual dyke maintenance, gravel and debris removal and regular dredging of the main channel of the Fraser River must be undertaken.

These steps are also critically necessary to ensure the river remains open and navigable to serve as a major transportation route for shipping, commercial traffic, pleasure boating, and to further enhance the Pacific fishery.

The Province has decentralized responsibility of flood control to municipalities, regional districts and diking authorities, each with limited funds. However, authority for maintenance remains with a myriad of provincial and federal ministries and departments. Work being done is geographically or purposively isolated and not part of a comprehensive plan to See FLOOD, address ongoing maintenance of a flood management system for the Fraser Basin. continued on page 44

FLOOD, continued from page 43 in flow. The economic impact on the provincial economy from a single event such as a Chilliwack breach would well outstrip the cost of maintenance of the flood systems in the first year.

A climate change study in Prince George projected that Prince Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average annual temperature could warm by 1.6°C to 2.5°C by the 2050s.4 Annual local precipitation is projected to increase by an average of 3% to 10%, and more precipitation will likely fall as rain. Prince George, the Northern Gateway has been buffeted by floods three times in the last five years. A flood

risk and control study commissioned by the City of Prince George following the 2008 ice jam flood identified 14 specific areas of heightened risk along the Fraser and Nechako rivers.5 The cost of maintenance and updating of the existing systems was projected to be $42.5 million in 2009.

As a significant factor in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic prosperity and the backbone of the Province, the Fraser River must be maintained to ensure economic prosperity and growth.

Submitted by the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce â&#x20AC;&#x201C; co-sponsored by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce and Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce

THE CHAMBER RECOMMENDS: That the Provincial, Federal and Municipal Governments and First Nations: 1. Work to create a comprehensive long-term plan for flood protection and control on the Fraser within five years.

2. Establish a long-term strategy for maintenance of the Fraser River flood control systems that includes consideration for the growth and viability of the economies that are built around the river.

3. Create and maintain a central dyking authority that will manage and support flood control along the banks of the river.

4. Create and maintain funding agreements that will support the upgrading and maintenance of dyking, dredging, navigation and environmental stewardship along all areas of the Fraser.

Sort the bottles while the kids play in the play area. Yes, a Return-It

The Best of Richmond Shopping Best secret at YVR

Matthew Hoekstra photo Victoria’s Secret opened a store at Vancouver International Airport.

Forgive us if this is predictable, but YVR’s best secret is, well, Victoria’s Secret. Late last year Vancouver International Airport got all glitzy and glamourous with B.C.’s first Victoria’s Secret location, albeit one designed for a traveller. No racy lingerie or sexy bras here, just fragrances, travel accessories and underwear.

But just having the chic boutique grace the shores of our Island City is enough for us. Shoppers, however, face a catch. The store is located in the U.S. departures area, so to shop there, you need to be taking a flight out of town.

Perhaps a bigger secret is the fact the store is among over 160 shops, services and restaurants the airport now boasts.

So there’s no excuse to not get dressed up for that in-flight seat stranger.

But for shutter heads, May 17’s opening inside the Broadway Camera store at Aberdeen Centre was a cool event.

RICHMOND’S LONGEST RUNNING TATTOO SHOP PROFESSIONAL, FRIENDLY SERVICE WITH THE HIGHEST STANDARDS IN STERILIZATION

www.TravelTST.ca 6720 No. 3 Road, Richmond • 604-273-1811

Despite losing it’s full service grocery store years ago, No. 5 Road and Cambie has almost everything you need.

Fruiticana has fruit, vegetables and staples; Shopper’s Drug Mart has all sorts of canned foods; and Superior Halal Meat & Deli has meat (more on that later). But if you are looking for a lager to quaff with your goat biryani, you’d better hop in your car, because, unless you’re Evan Dunfee, there’s nothing within walking distance. Closest outlets are Bridgeport Liquor Store at Beckman Place near the Oak Street Bridge or the Kingswood Pub up No. 5 Road, north of Williams. There’s also wine at Sanduz Estate Wines at Blundell and Sidaway.

Best sign of high gas prices Domo Richmond offers the occasional “Flash Sale” featuring discounted gas for three hours. The price drops as much as 10 cents a litre.

Bring on the line-ups!

Motorists and their idling vehicles will seemingly wait an hour for a chance to save up to $5 on gas—with nary a thought of the $5 in gas they spent leaving their vehicles idling. Mind you, with Richmond’s strange bylaw requiring all gas stations to ensure each pump is full-serve, lineups during peak times are inevitable, regardless of price.

And just when you think the gas jockey didn’t hear your plea for 20 bucks of regular or the cashier won’t actually fill your propane tank, it’s done.

The Best of Richmond Shopping Best place to find an empty bicycle rack Richmond’s new IKEA store has 100 parking spaces for cyclists.

That’s 88 more than the previous location. But who cycles to IKEA? Unless there’s some new bike technology we’re not aware of, squeezing a Billy bookcase on a bike rack just doesn’t work. It’s hard not to leave this new 334,000-squarefoot space without buying something. A spoon, a chesterfield, a chamaedorea elegans (it’s a plant; we looked it up). I suppose the $1 breakfasts might be a draw for the protein-seeking cycling crowd, but forget a little As-Is browsing. You are not fitting that sideboard on your Norco fenders.

Best example of giving back Growing up in Richmond, Bobby Singh played a lot of sport— and was successful at most, though it eventually became clear football was his best.

He eventually carved out quite a successful pro career on the gridiron, becoming the only player to ever earn three championship rings at the pro level (NFL, CFL And XFL).

Today, the former BC Lions’ guard enthusiastically gives back.

One of his favourite projects is the Down Set Hut youth football camp, which he started four years ago.

The annual one-day camp features many of Singh’s pro football pals including San Francisco 49ers head strength and conditioning coach Mark Uyeyama, former Lion Sean Graham, and current Leos Travis Lulay, Geroy Simon, Angus Reid and Paul McCallum.

Best celebration of our game

ri se shine!

The first Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada celebration Feb. 11 at the Richmond Olympic Oval was a resounding success, with thousands turning out to celebrate the nation’s most popular game.

Activities ranged from a ball hockey game featuring former Vancouver Canucks to a Pacific International Junior Hockey League between the hometown Sockeyes and North Delta Devils, as well as a Hockey Hall of Fame legends display including several NHL trophies.

But the biggest draw was an appearance by former Vancouver Canucks’ captain Trevor Linden, who spent hours greeting fans and signing autographs.

The Richmond Review readers have chosen Cora as one of the best new restaurants!

The Cora team sincerely thank their customers who have truly shown their appreciation of Cora’s tasty, creative breakfasts and lunches by voting them one of the best new restaurants in Richmond. With now three restaurants in the greater Vancouver area, Cora continues to deliver on its commitment to serve Canada’s best breakfast and lunch.

Best reason to row

Richmond’s Darcy Marquardt hopes to compete in her third Olympic Summer Games this August in London, England as a member of Canada’s heavyweight 8 women’s rowing team.

The hours are long and gruelling, with early-morning practices a certainty. So why would anyone want to become a rower?

Richmond’s Darcy Marquardt can answer that in a single word: passion.

Originally intending to retire following her second Olympic Summer Games in Beijing in 2008, Marquardt reconsidered after realizing she still had the desire to be better.

So the former world champion, who originally set out to be a figure skater, is back with Canada’s national rowing team and a valued member of the women’s heavyweight 8 crew that has its heart set on winning Olympic gold this summer in London, England.

Marquardt and her teammates were further encouraged by their silver medal finish at the Lucerne World Cup last weekend, placing just 3/100th of a second behind the winning U.S. crew which hasn’t lost an event since 2005.

“So having added fuel to the fire, now we get back to training,” said Marquardt.

Best playground deserving wider recognition Every year in the Best of Richmond Readers’ Poll, Steveston, South Arm and Garden City garner all the votes for Best Playground.

They are all fabulous places for toddlers to have a great time while

parents hope the ensuing naptime will be a success. However, it’s time King George Park got some accolades. It has two big playgrounds that will keep tots and preschoolers happy, a water park,

picnic area, soccer pitches, nearby washrooms and lots of green space to run around in. A morning running around there will make your toddler sleepier than eating a turkey and banana sandwich.

It was almost a year ago when thousands of drunk hockey fans went amok in Downtown Vancouver, trashing the town after their Vancouver Canucks came up short in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals.

A half-dozen Richmond residents have been charged to date.

These include a beauty pageant finalist and an honour roll student, which goes to show it was more than knuckledraggers getting caught

up in the frenzy. There was no trouble this year, however, and it was nothing to do with better policing, preparation or not inviting tens of thousands of hot-headed drunks to the dowtown core. Nope, you can

thank Jonathan Quick.

Canuck fans didn’t have time to get through a six-pack in the time it took the goaltender and his Los Angeles Kings to shut down the Canucks in the first round of this year’s playoffs.

Arland Bruce brought the Grey Cup to a pair of seniors homes in Richmond.

#260 - 4351 No. 3 Road Richmond

Best Grey Cup celebration When it came to Arland Bruce’s turn to have a day with the Grey Cup, the B.C. Lions receiver made it an extra special one.

The dapper Bruce visited an Aboriginal community centre, schools in Surrey and Burnaby and two seniors’ homes in Richmond—Fraserview Care Lodge and Rosewood Manor.

“It is an amazing feeling and privilege to share this history

with the community. I want to bring this trophy and put as many smiles on the faces of fans that I can in one day,” Bruce said. “Having the utmost respect for my elders, I am especially looking forward to visiting those in care homes who can’t get out and see us play. It is without a doubt, my chance to celebrate with them.”

Bruce is a star receiver who

can put up big numbers. Much like the Lions, he had a rough start to the season. But soon after Wally Buono picked him up from Hamilton for a song, Bruce and the Lions went on an incredible turnaround, bouncing back from an 0-6 start to win the Grey Cup. The Lions were sure happy to get him, as were the folks at Fraserview and Rosewood.

Forget doing yoga seven times a week—Normand Curley does up to seven times a day.

Best limber limbs Earlier this month, we wrote about 56-year-old Normand Curley. Curley, who moved to Richmond

two years ago after living in the Caribbean, thought he’d give yoga a try to help overcome a deep depression.

Curley has gotten into yoga in a big way.

He takes up to seven classes a day at YYoga in Richmond! But it’s

working—now 10 months into his yoga year, his energy has returned and he’s feeling much better.

Best example it’s darkest just before the dawn Between events as a rookie pro golfer on the Canadian Tour, Nathan Leonhardt was feeling a little down and hoping to revive his game when he returned to his Richmond roots last August.

“The last couple of weeks I’d been hitting the ball very poorly and getting frustrated,” he said.

So on a Sunday morning he headed out to Mayfair Lakes Golf and Country Club to hit a few practice balls and work on his putting and chipping. It was on the range the 26-year-old felt he found something that was working—a swing he’d abandoned. As luck would have it, just as he was wrapping up his practice session a couple of friends invited him to join them for a round of golf. When he entered the clubhouse five hours later, he’d shot a course record 62.

the seventh inning with a solo home run that tied the game, setting the stage for teammate Sammie Olexa’s winning score on a wild pitch and infield grounder.

Best path to the Olympics A victory over Canadian teammate Pierre-Luc Hinse earned Richmond’s Andre Ho the chance to compete on this summer’s biggest sports stage.

Ho, 20, defeated Hinse in five games

last month to win the first men’s tournament at the North American table tennis qualifier held in Cary, N.C. Ho is the ninth-ranked Canadian men’s player.

Fencer Shaul Gordon

One of Canada’s top young fencers, Richmond’s Shaul Gordon clearly has a unique ability to see the positive.

After what he deemed was a “very poor” performance in the sabre competition at the junior world championships in Moscow last month, the Grade 12 Richmond High International Baccalaureate student used the experience to his advantage. In a fiveminute speech titled l’echec (the failure) at

the recent provincial finals of the Concours d’Art Oratoirs (French speaking contest), he told the audience of his intention not to let the fencing result stand in his way of getting to the top level of his favourite sport. The speech won first prize at the B.C. contest and earned Gordon the chance to participate in this week’s national finals where the grand prize is a full, four-year academic scholarship to the University of Ottawa.

“CHIANTI” NEEDS A GOOD HOME WITH YOU!

“CHIANTI”, ID #263623, NM, BIRMAN, 4 YEARS 1 MONTH This beautiful boy was found as a stray, wandering the streets of Chilliwack all on his lonesome. He is now more than ready for his forever home! Chianti is a very confident, playful, and energetic cat, and he loves to use the scratching post. He finds being around other cats very stressful and would prefer to be the only feline in the house. An experienced owner would be ideal for him, with no young children, as he tends to play rough and be a little on the feisty side. Because he has long (and gorgeous) hair, Chianti will need to be brushed regularly.

The Best of Richmond Sports Best anthem singer to Juno winner All those anthem singers who aspire to become recording artists need look no further than Elaine “Lil’Bit” Shepherd for inspiration.

After winning the first RichCity Idol in 2004 as a Grade 12 student at Richmond High, Shepherd spent a

year or so belting out O Canada at Richmond Sockeyes home games.

Then it was on to bigger and better things, culminating in her winning last year a Juno Award for reggae recording of the year for “Likkle But Mi Tallwah.”

Richmond swimmer Brian Johns retires after competing in three Olympic Summer Games.

Best reason to hang up your swim cap

Elaine “Lil’Bit” Shepherd has gone from singing the national anthem at Richmond Sockeyes’ home games to an award-winning reggae artist.

The purpose of the proposed amendment request is to control wood decay in two timber bridges located (1) adjacent to No. 8 Rd, Lulu Island, Richmond at MP 6.96, and (2) across the north arm of the Fraser River between the 21100 Block River Rd. on Lulu Island and south Burnaby, south of Fraser Park Drive.

The common and trade name of the pesticide proposed for use under this amendment are chloropicrin (Timber Fume). The application method will consist of manually inserting capped vials containing a pre-measured portion of Timber Fume into drilled holes in timbers. The degradable cap on the vial breaks down over time and temperature (within the drilled holes), allowing the liquid Timber Fume to enter the gas phase and move into the surrounding wood. All holes will be plugged with tight fitting wood plugs following treatment. This ensures that the Timber Fume does not enter a body of water or other environmentally sensitive area. Drilled holes will be located at least 60 cm above the high water mark.

The duration of the proposed amendment to the PMP is from July 25, 2012 to May 3, 2017.

A copy of the proposed amendment to the PMP and a map showing the location of the timber bridges proposed for treatment may be obtained by contacting the Agent (SMC Consulting) listed above.

> Jimmy Ng Memorial Road Hockey Tournament at Thompson Community Centre

Around Town Amanda Oye

Remembering Jimmy Ng Ten years have passed since he was killed in the line of duty, but the memory of Jimmy Ng is as strong as ever as was evident at the 10th annual Const. Jimmy Ng Memorial Road Hockey Tournament at Thompson Community Centre last weekend.

The event, which saw 14 teams compete, was hosted by the Rotary Club of Steveston in partnership with the Richmond RCMP, Steveston Harbour Authority, the City of Richmond, the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue and The Richmond Review.

“I thought that this was one of the best tournaments we have ever had,” said Sgt. Kate Hansen, the chair of the tournament and a member of the Rotary Club of Steveston.

“The atmosphere was really fun and exciting,” she said.

Along with hockey games there was a street safety day on Saturday, concession and pancake breakfast.

“It was a big year being the tenth anniversary of Jimmy’s death,” Hansen said.

Money raised at the event will go towards RCMP youth programs, the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue programs and The Rotary Club of Steveston.

The tournament winners were the Knucklepucks, who won the “A” pool, and Seafair, who won the more familyfriendly “B” pool.
