Assault charge considered against coach for tripping hockey player Mounties say they’ll likely recommend an assault charge in the coming weeks against a Vancouver hockey coach who tripped a 13-yearold Richmond Steel hockey player during a post-game handshake.

The boy reportedly broke his wrist in the fall, in which the Richmond team narrowly missed out on winning gold at a spring wind-up tournament hosted at University of B.C.’s Thunderbird Arena last weekend.

The RCMP are investigating.

The incident first came to light when CTV News obtained a video showing a coach identified as Martin Tremblay tripping the Richmond player, causing two boys to tumble to the ice.

“Charges are pending,” RCMP Sgt. Paulena Gidda told CTV News. “Ultimately, at the end of the day, we’re looking at charges of assault, and possibly assault causing bodily harm, depending on the injuries and where our investigation take us.”

Richmond Steel manager Tammy Hohlweg told CTV she’d like to see the coach suspended permanently from coaching.

The video shows him pointing his middle finger towards the stands, while another player from the Vancouver Hornets throwing a water bottle at the glass.

50 years later, Salmon Fest queen returns

STEVESTON Conveniently located at the intersection of No. 2 Rd. & Blundell Rd.

Bonnie Isaak’s last name was Davidson back in 1962, when she wore the sash as the Steveston Salmon Festival’s Salmon Queen.

And it was a lucky yellow marble, and her hard work selling tickets to the community, that led to her honour.

On Sunday, precisely 50 years later, she’ll have a Salmon Queen sash with her, this one a recently-made replica of the original.

Isaak, who now lives in Surrey, contacted The Richmond Review this week to say she’ll be in Steveston to celebrate Canada Day, joined by her daughter Jennifer. Still eager to participate and relive a memorable point in her life, Isaak will make her return to the fishing village on July 1 and has been invited to the informal luncheon after the parade.

Bonnie Isaak, 50 years ago.

Isaak, now 66, was just 16 and a student at Richmond High when she received the honour as Salmon Queen. She sold tickets for what was then known as the Salmon Queen festival.

Richmond was divided up into areas—including South Arm, Steveston and Sea Island—with the girl who sold the most tickets being named the princess.

Marbles were then allocated based on the number of tickets sold, and a person selected as the community’s “best citizen” pulled out a marble, which happened to be yellow, Isaak’s colour.

“I’m going to be there,” Isaak said. “I think I represent the community nicely.”

The Steveston Salmon Festival takes place on July 1 with a host of activities throughout the day, including the parade starting at 10 a.m.

Richmond Centre Annual Community Update Message from Rob Our government has had a busy year! Our spring session brought in many pieces of legislation, including commitments to protect our children, and to make our roads and communities safer. Our government is proud of the work done to rebuild our triple A credit rating. We are also continuing our work on growing and diversifying our economy by investing strategically in the Pacific Gateway, and have created the ‘Canada Starts Here: BC Jobs Plan’, which is already producing results. Over 50,000 jobs have been created in the past year alone.

Our Province has great possibilities for future growth and economic stability, which translates to new jobs and job security. We have also ensured fiscal responsibility though the introduction of a B.C. Municipal Auditor General. Our Government’s continued strong fiscal management will help us keep competitive with international markets. We have seen that governments who have failed to be fiscally responsible have been held to account and are now obligated to make draconian cuts in order to balance their books.

We are so lucky to live in this beautiful Province. With B.C.’s remarkably diverse population, natural resources and gateway location, strong fiscal management is the key for British Columbia’s continued bright future.

Will new copyright law be Isohunt’s death knell?

Montreal lawyer believes Bill C-11 will devastate popular search engine

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Canada’s new copyright law, Bill C-11, is expected to be passed later this summer, but Richmond’s Gary Fung doesn’t think that will have an immediate impact on his popular search engine website, Isohunt.com.

But a Montreal-based Internet lawyer isn’t quite so glass-half-full optimistic.

“It’s going to be devastating,” said lawyer Allen Mendelsohn (allenmendelsohn.com), who wrote his master’s thesis on Internet law.

“In my opinion, there...are a couple of things in C-11 that are targetting him.”

There are provisions in the new law that read as though they were designed with bit torrent search engines in mind, and with Fung’s site in particular.

“I think it’s going to be the death knell.”

But though the clock may be winding down on isohunt.com, Mendelsohn said that’s far from addressing the problem of piracy of TV shows and movies.

Like with the war on drugs, the tactics used to address the problem have been similar.

Isohunt is like the street-side dealer, who doesn’t produce the marijuana or cocaine, but simply is the vehicle to access it.

And while the drug dealer gets paid, isohunt. com makes money from advertising on its site, which draws millions of daily users.

So while the big media companies are targetting isohunt.com, eliminating the search engine will simply mean online users will source the material they seek elsewhere.

And that includes using Google, where torrents for Hollywood movies and television shows can also be found.

The possible demise of isohunt won’t stem the demand for torrents, Mendelsohn said.

“It will mollify those who say Canada is a

haven for illegal pirating.”

And until that demand for online sharing is addressed, people are going to find a new way other than isohunt.com.

Mendelsohn argues that consumers are more than willing to pay for what they want, whether it’s an episode of the HBO series True Blood or Game of Thrones.

But they aren’t willing to pay for the HBO content while paying more for channels they don’t watch, as is the current delivery model with TV channel packages through cable companies like Shaw and Telus, among others.

The loudest people on the Internet, and the most powerful, are youth who are voicing their disdain for the current delivery model, Mendelsohn said.

And it’s those people who are cheering for Gary Fung, and people like him, who they feel are “sticking it to the man,” he said.

“Can you stop the manufacturing of cars become some cars are used as getaway cars for bank robberies? Who knows, a genie may be out of the bottle?”

But Fung isn’t ready to cry uncle quite yet.

Armed with a legal war chest courtesy of his online advertising revenue, he’s got lawyers arguing the merits of his website.

“I don’t think it will have any immediate affect on my company. We are a search engine and any issues regarding copyright, we try to work with copyright owners.”

Fung questioned what material on the internet isn’t copyrighted?

He argues that 99 per cent of what’s online is copyrighted by somebody somewhere.

He said that when’s he’s contacted by a copyright owner, and told that something breaches the copyright, he takes steps to block access.

It’s similar to what YouTube does with content that’s infringing the copyright.

Recently, episodes of the cartoon Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Superheroes were available on YouTube, until on Tuesday when they were taken down because of complaint from the rightful owner.

Fung said he’s been fighting the Canadian Recording Industry for four years.

“Every lawsuit will have an end,” he said.

“I’ve been fighting this for over six years, and I don’t see it ending anytime soon.”

But when Bill C-11 comes into place, Fung said he’ll obey the new rules.

Whether that will kill isohunt.com remains to be seen.

End of AirCare opposed The Metro Vancouver board is objecting to the province’s decision to phase out AirCare testing for regular vehicles by the end of 2014.

The regional district voted June 15 to write

Friday, June 29, 2012 to Environment Minister Terry Lake expressing its concerns that the cancellation of the program will erode air quality gains in the Lower Mainland, as motorists are no longer compelled to rein in emissions.

Around 12 per cent of tested cars fail AirCare each year, but most vehicles are exempt from testing because they’re relatively new. Lake has said the province could

convert the program to one targeting diesel emissions from large trucks.

The B.C. Trucking Association opposes that idea, saying steady improvements in engine standards are already making truck fleets cleaner.

Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley Regional District had previously endorsed an extension to at least 2020.

Airport remains mum on security breaches

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter How was a baggage handler able to keep his job, despite breaching security at Vancouver International Airport seven times before being arrested for smuggling $1.2 million worth of cocaine back in 2007?

Was there ever an investigation? And have steps been taken to ensure there’s no repeat?

The public might never know.

The Vancouver International Airport Authority isn’t talking, and neither is federal transport minister Denis Lebel, or Richmond MP Alice Wong.

The Richmond Review learned this week that convicted drug smuggler Steven Von Holtum bypassed airport security using his restricted area indentity card on 20 occassions while off duty as an Air Canada baggage handler prior to his arrest in 2007. There were six times when he accessed the restricted customs hall of the international terminal while he wasn’t working, and on a seventh occasion while he was, despite being prohibited from doing so.

NDP border critic Brian Masse said the public has a right to know if an investigation was ever conducted into Von Holtum’s breaches, and whether steps were taken to prevent a repeat.

“There’s a due diligence for them to come clean and to give us confidence it isn’t happening anymore and won’t happen again,” said Masse, MP for Windsor West.

“It’s alarming,” Masse said of the numerous breaches.

No senior Vancouver International Airport managers made themselves available for an interview.

But spokesperson Alana Lawrence via e-mail: “Safety and security of passengers, employees and tenants at YVR remains our top priority. The security systems at YVR are continually being enhanced. In the last six years, biometric screening and non-passenger screening have been introduced giving us one of the most robust screening programs.”

Yet somehow, carrying an access card, Von Holtum used the airport like his personal playground.

Lawrence wouldn’t say whether Von Holtum was ever reprimanded for accessing the customs hall seven times in 2007.

“In order to maintain a high level of security at the airport we do not disclose details of RAIC misuse— including number of infractions and reasons for its misuse.”

She added that the airport authority “will ticket any people in violation of the RAIC use and Transport Canada can then follow up with an investigation.”

But Transport Canada, other than explaining how RAIC cards are issued, wouldn’t even say if there had been an internal investigation.

The RCMP, which conducted the investigation into Von Holtum, wouldn’t reveal what other actions, if any, were taken resulting from the drug smuggling investigation.

Masse said the lack of public accountabilty is unacceptable.

“I think the minister of transport needs to step in,” he said. “I think this merits an investigation that makes sure that nobody else is doing this.”

There are 18,000 employees at the airport who have RAIC cards.

“They do have a right to know,” Masse said, “especially given the amount of breaches.”

Masse questioned how discussing someone who is no longer at the airport, and the breaches that took place, could undermine security.

“I don’t buy that by keeping a secret, they’re helping... that they’re helping themselves or the general public. It just raises more questions. And it’s a lack of accountability.”

The airport authority is given the priviledge to operate in Vancouver, and make money doing so, he said, and “there’s a certain amount of public trust...They can’t wash their hands of this.”

He questioned the point of putting in a robust security system, funded by air travellers, when there aren’t people to actually process the data.

“There’s quite a bit of public interest in this. I would be surprised if the minister doesn’t act.”

Teachers voting on stand-pat deal

by Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. Teachers’ Federation executive is recommending acceptance of an agreement reached with school district negotiators that extends most of the terms of the contract that expired a year ago.

Teachers are voting this week on the proposed settlement, which runs until June 30, 2013. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, representing B.C.’s 60 school districts, will hold a vote for trustees next week.

The agreement puts off a bitter dispute over government changes to hiring, layoff and performance evaluation of teachers. Education Minister George Abbott said the deal includes a letter of understanding to continue talks on those issues.

BCTF president Susan Lambert said the agreement includes some improvements to teacher benefits and leave provisions. But Wednesday Lambert announced the union is making the latest of many trips to court to argue that imposing a twoyear wage freeze violates their constitutional right

to collective bargaining.

The BCTF is the last major public sector union in the province to accept the wage limits.

“We have been able to achieve some modest improvements but, above all, we succeeded in getting government take its con-

cession demands off the table,” Lambert said.

Abbott rejected the union’s claim that the employer was trying to cut back professional development provisions. The ministry wants to standardize provisions that were negotiated separately

with the 60 districts before province-wide bargaining was imposed, he said.

Acceptance of the agreement will allow schools to resume classes next fall with teachers resuming extra-curricular activities and meetings with school administration.

BBB warns consumers of SMiShing scams

STOHIPS SHORE

STEVESTON 2012 June 29–July 1

www.richmond.ca/shipstoshore

Better Business Bureau is warning consumers of text messages that claim to offer free Wal-Mart and other well-known retailer gift cards.

These messages link to a website that ask for personal information which can lead to phishing scams.

Text messages such as “Congratulations, you’ve won!” and “Enter code 6655 to claim your $1,000 gift card” indicate a “SMiShing” scam or a phishing scam sent over SMS text messages.

Many of the messages instruct people to call a tollfree number or click a link to a malicious website in order to claim the Best Buy, Wal-Mart, or Target gift card. Some of the websites can spread viruses to the phone or ask for personal information such as credit card information and birth dates.

“We are concerned about these scam text messages because in many cases they are using well-established brand names to build trust,” says Danielle Primrose, president and CEO of the BBB serving Mainland B.C. “We urge consumers to verify the source and contact their telecommunications provider to report anything that may be fraudulent.”

BBB advises you to not reply nor click any links if you receive a SMiShing scam message. Instead, you should contact your local BBB to report the scam and ask your service provider to block further texts from the websites.

Carbon tax lift unlikely to bring record pump pain CTF urges B.C. to eliminate levy on carbonbased fuels

by Jeff Nagel Black Press The 1.1 cent per litre increase in B.C.’s carbon tax as of Canada Day isn’t expected to push Metro Vancouver gasoline prices into record territory.

Gas prices in the region averaged $1.39 per litre as of Thursday, before the final lift in the carbon tax to 6.67 cents a litre.

Gasbuddy.com founder Jason Toews said the bump could take average prices here back over $1.40, but not likely above the 2008 record of nearly $1.50 or this year’s late May peak of $1.489.

“I think that’s going to be the peak for the year unless we see some major refinery issues,” he said.

Prices have trended lower this spring as crude oil prices dropped on a sagging world economy and, more importantly,

as three west coast refineries came back on line after previous shutdowns constricted supply.

Higher demand from the summer driving season has kept gas prices from falling too far yet, Toews said, but he expects significantly lower pump prices by the fall if all else stays equal.

“We should see gas prices get much cheaper,” he said. “I think we could see the return of $1.20-something gas.”

The last scheduled increase in the carbon tax comes as the provincial government asks for public input on the future of the tax ahead of 2013 budget deliberations.

Up for debate is whether the tax should be reduced or rise further, whether any further increases should continue to go to tax relief or be redirected to fund carbon reduction initiatives such as transit.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling for the carbon tax to be eliminated entirely, adding many of the offsetting tax cuts are geared to business and don’t ben-

efit ordinary consumers.

CTF spokesman Jordan Bateman listed tax breaks for industrial property owners, interactive digital media ventures, scientific research and the film industry.

“The quickest way to save taxpayers money is for B.C. to scrap the carbon tax,” he said.

The carbon tax also applies to other carbonreleasing fossil fuels, including diesel, natural gas, coal and propane.

The Pembina Institute, which backs a higher carbon tax, issued its own report June 25, arguing the measure has been positive for B.C. It surveyed a cross-sec-

tion of business, academic and government leaders, and found a majority concluded there was no significant downside so far. They were split, however, on whether the carbon tax should continue to climb when no other North American jurisdictions have imposed any similar tax.

TransLink has stepped up bus service on 21 high-demand routes across Metro Vancouver and reduced frequency on 18 others where ridership was deemed too low to justify current service levels.

The changes, which took effect June 25, are the next stage in the transportation authority’s ongoing service optimization initiative.

The aim is to serve more riders with the same number of transit service hours, while bringing in more fare revenue.

TransLink says bus productivity has climbed three per cent since 2010 as a re-

sult of previously implemented changes.

Routes that gained frequency in the newest round include the #97 and #99 BLines. Much of the increased service is at middays and weekends, reflecting a rise in riders taking transit outside the traditional morning and afternoon rushes.

Routes where buses will run less often include the #402, #403 and #404 runs in Richmond, as well as early morning, weekend and holiday service on some other routes.

Schedule change details are at www. translink.ca.

Amit Sandhu to speak at educational congress in Quebec

Our own frozen s blueberrie

by Martin van den Hemel

BLUEBERRY KICK OFF JULY 14TH

Staff Reporter

Lots of activities for the entire family!

From mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs to sponsoring an Olympic wrestler, Richmond developer Amit Sandhu has had a significant impact on the lives of locals.

But next week, the young CEO of Ampri Group will get the opportunity to reach a larger audience at the Canadian School Boards Association annual congress in Quebec City.

Sandhu, 27, has been invited to give a presentation on the integration of entrepreneurship and leadership within Canada’s education system.

“I’m humbled to be considered as one of those leaders and being invited to speak at the National Congress is a huge honour,” Sandhu said. “I truly believe that when you start putting effort towards something, momentum builds and new opportunities developed to take you to the next stage.”

Sandhu will be joined by other notable speakers including Margaret Trudeau, Rt. Hon. Paul Martin and Governor General David Johnston, at the four-day education summit.

Sandhu said he will stress the need for primary and secondary schools to tap into the strength of the entrepreneurial community and “adopt 21st century methods and tools to continue developing the appropriate learning environment for encouraging creativity, innovation and the ability to ‘think outside the box’ to solve problems.”

His presentation will also deal with his definition of leadership.

Leaders do more than what’s expected of them, he said.

“The best way to understand this on a practical scale is looking at a job description. Those who do not live up to their job description will find it difficult to progress, those who satisfy a job description very well will be promoted over time and those who exceed expectations will find their career path accelerated.”

Leaders find their passion and share it with the world.

And leaders help create other leaders, he said.

“I’m excited that the CSBA is looking to young leaders to help develop strategies for the future of education in Canada,” Sandhu said.

The school boards congress represents more than 250 school boards serving more than three million elementary and high school students across the nation.

The congress runs from July 4 to 7.

Earlier this month, Sandhu announced that Ampri Group would be sponsoring local freestyle wrestler Arjan Bhullar, who will be competing in the 2012 London Olympics.

Y

ou probably didn’t hear this on TV, the percentage of Canadians deemed “low income” went down slightly in 2010, according to the latest Statistics Canada analysis.

This news was delivered in the annual “Income of Canadians” report last week. The share of people who fall below the federal Low-Income Cut-Off (LICO) went from 9.5 per cent to 9.0.

The CBC couldn’t bring itself to admit any actual improvement, reporting on its website that the number of people with “low income” was about three million, “virtually unchanged from 2009.” Other media outlets followed the unwritten rule that nothing remotely positive must be presented as news, particularly if it reflects positively on a right-wing government.

(Plus they had the Montreal body-parts case to update each day.)

This information likely won’t have any effect on the political discussion about “poverty” in B.C. The LICO survey will continue to be used as a measure of absolute poverty, despite the fact that it isn’t. It’s a relative measure that will always designate the same share of people at the low end of the scale.

BC Stats, the provincial equivalent of the federal agency, explained this problem in a special report last year.

“To illustrate,” the report said, “take a hypothetical future Canada where every citizen earns no less than $100,000 (and assume there has not been rampant inflation in the meantime, such that buying power is not dissimilar to what exists today) and millionaires are common.

“In that kind of Canada, those at the low end of the income scale (that is, those earning ‘merely’ $100,000) would be considered poor if LICOs were used as a measure of poverty.”

For what may be the first time in history, we now have a North American society where one of the most reliable indicators of poverty is obesity.

Math aside, that’s the alleged “poverty line” routinely cited by the usual media authorities, like B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair.

Sinclair campaigned for years to get the B.C. government to raise the minimum wage from $8 to $10 an hour. They did, in three increments, and on May 1 it increased to $10.25 an hour. As soon as the series of three increases was announced last November, Sinclair called a news conference to announce it’s not enough.

To get to the LICO level, the minimum wage should

be $11.50 an hour, Sinclair said. Of course, if B.C. businesses ponied up for that, the goalposts would shift again and the same proportion of “poverty” would magically still exist.

The B.C. NDP government-in-waiting continues to demand an “action plan” on poverty, with annual goals. All the progressive provinces have one, which I guess is why poverty is all but eradicated in enlightened places like Manitoba.

There are signs of the reality behind this political smokescreen. Here’s one.

For what may be the first

time in history, we now have a North American society where one of the most reliable indicators of poverty is obesity. This often gets explained away with a popular theory that poor people are somehow forced to eat fast food and drink pop because they can’t afford healthy food.

People who advance this theory presumably don’t do much grocery shopping.

There are plenty of processed, sugary, fat-laden choices at the supermarket too. But there is also whole wheat bread, rice and fresh or frozen vegetables that are as cheap as anywhere

in the world.

Given basic cooking skills and some effort, it’s easy to demonstrate which diet is cheaper as well as healthier. Most immigrants know this. Which diet you choose isn’t a function of money, but rather one of education and self-discipline.

There is genuine poverty in our society. One of the things that’s needed is a useful way to define it.

So let us project Canada’s current approach into the future. In 2034 oil will run out (that’s only 22 years away or four World Cups of soccer); in 2047 natural gas will run out (that’s only 35 years away or eight World Cups). Nothing to worry about, the premier of the day will simply recategorize coal as a clean energy source.

With this market approach and denial of reality we are surely all doomed. Please, in future elections ask and listen to what the candidates say about getting off fossil fuels and limiting unnecessary combustion.

Walk or run for the SOS Children’s Village at the oval

A Runner’s Mind Christine Blanchette

On Saturday, June 30, lace up your shoes and participate in the fourth annual SOS Children’s Village BC Walk/Run at the Richmond Olympic Oval – a stunning venue for this community event that

promotes communities to live a healthy lifestyle while helping children and youth in foster care.

You can register for 10 or 5 km run/walk starting at 9:30 followed by a 2 km family walk at 9:45.

Enjoy the day from 10-noon with family and friends on the Olympic Plaza with entertainment, refreshments and a silent auction with draw prizes.

You can pre-register— www.sosbc.org/Run or register on race day at 8:30 a.m.

Proceeds go to providing programs so kidsin-care can grow up in a family environment

offering stability, hope and healing.

Run results will be posted on-line and medals for gender and age categories. Join SOS Walk/Run Honorary Chair, Olympic snowboarder Alexa Loo, who will be in attendance.

Seventy-six-year-old Violet Homes will be one of the honorary guests at the run. Holmes has been attending the SOS Children’s run ever year and it is one of her favorite charity events.

When Holmes had stepped into the local Starbucks coffee bar for this interview she

was easy to recognize— her slim running build while wearing a black “Marathon Woman” shirt underneath her Boston Marathon jacket.

She looked a picture of health and fitness.

Holmes is an established marathon runner and one of her running accomplishments is making the Boston podium in 2011 in her age group – 75-79 (5:29:28).

Holmes didn’t start running until age 61 and her first footrace was the 10k Sun Run. She recommends this run, “If you haven’t run before then do the Sun Run training.”

Holmes runs on average 25 races per year and by looking at her impressive and well documented running sheet which lists all of her runs since 1998. She has run, climbed and done the grind which also includes one marathon each year on her list. “I run all year for me – my health and fitness and it is a real bonus that a lot of the runs are charity runs.”

She adds, “My marathons are really focused on fundraising for Joints in Motion which she has raised over $4000.00 each year for the Arthritis Society, making it over

$50,000.00, in the 12 years.

She took up running because of health problems in 1997 where her doctor suggested she take up exercising and Holmes hasn’t looked back.

When asked her if she has any pre-run superstitions. She notes, “Although I’m not superstitious, I do have my little pre-marathon rituals, like removing the nail polish from my toenails! I also pin on a ribbon with the names of all my Jointsin-Motion supporters and ‘run a mile’ for each one. And I write key

words that I can glance at as I run, such as slow, relax, smile, lift, dance, and in Boston I added citgo, boston, magical. The ‘dance’ is from the song “I Hope You’ll Dance” which is my wish for our daughter with rheumatoid arthritis who motivates all my full marathons.”

She adds, “I am so hoping they will find a ‘cure’ in my lifetime.”

The BC Hockey award follows on the heels of last season’s Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association of the Year award.

“I knew Casey (Rodusek was receiving the BC Hockey Development Award for Officiating) and I was so excited for her,” said Martin.

“We were chatting away when they started talking about the association of the year. I looked at Casey and said, ‘I think they’re talking about us.’ We’ve been so

The Ravens’ stated goal is to be the leader in female hockey in B.C. and “we believe we are well on our way to achieving that,” she added.

The following Ravens ‘accomplishments were cited by BC Hockey at the awards presentation: •growing the association from 125 players five years ago to 250 today; •hosting of the largest female hockey tournament on the West Coast of North America (the Ice Classic in March had 85 teams participating); •Winning the Midget AA provincial championships; •Finishing third at the Peewee AA provincial championships, which the association hosted; •Increasing players in Tyke/Novice (Hockey 1-4) from 32 players three years ago to 87 last season; •Implementing a comprehensive skill development program; •Taking a leadership position in female hockey by hosting events such as the Tyke jamboree and brainstorming retreats for female association presidents and hockey development people; and •Successfully implementing a rebranding of the association to the Ravens.

In addition to winning association of the year, Tamara Louis of the Midget C1 team was awarded a BC Hockey scholarship for outstanding scholastic and hockey achievement.

“We are very proud of our accomplishments,” said Martin. “And we are very

excited about building on these accomplishments as we are continually looking to improve our association and female hockey in general.”

Planning for the upcoming season is in full swing and an exciting year is anticipated, she continued.

Registration is up again and it is expected that each of the Ravens’ rep teams will compete for a provincial championship. The Ravens will also be hosting a retreat in July with all the female hockey associations expected to participate.

The objective of identifying changes that should be implemented in September to continue the development of female hockey will top the agenda.

“Caleb has enjoyed tremendous success since joining the club,” said Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie.

“The timing of the trial

Federal government announces a set of new mortgage rules

CHBA forecasts fewer first-time buyers The federal government announced new rules for mortgages last week, including changing the maximum mortgage amortization period from 30 years to 25. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty also announced that insured mortgages will only be available to buyers purchasing a home for under $1 million.

“We want people to make sure that when they purchase the most important purchase they’ll probably ever make in their life, that they do so in a prudent way,” says Flaherty.

The government expects that less than five per cent of new home purchasers will be affected

by the changes, but the Canadian Home Builders’ Association sees it having repercussions on a certain demographic.

“The shorter maximum mortgage amortization period will reduce housing demand by eroding affordability,” says CHBA President Ron Olson. “For those who would otherwise have selected a 30-year amortization, it will take additional income each month to service new mortgage debt.

Some potential new home buyers will no longer qualify, and this will disproportionately affect younger firsttime home buyers.”

The changes will take effect on July 9.

residents don’t need to take their cars out as often. The opening of the Canada Line and the subsequent success of the Marine Gateway project has proven this conclusion, and Evergreen’s proximity to the new SkyTrain line is something of which Bosa is very proud.

“The access to SkyTrain is just amazing,” says Avitan.

Evergreen is within walking distance of several neighbourhood amenities, including restaurants and shopping at Coquitlam Centre. A Douglas College campus is also close by, along with elementary and secondary schools. If you’re looking for a bit of outdoor time,

several parks and Lafarge Lake are also in the area.

The Bosa name is one of the reasons that people have been pre-registering before the homes officially open for sale.

“Bosa has quite a following. (They) do it right the first time,” says Avitan.

“People feel very comfortable with that.”

The sales centre is at 3005 Glen Drive in Coquitlam, and is open from noon to 6 p.m. every day. Homes at Evergreen start at $265,900. For more information, visit www.bosaproperties. com/evergreen or call 604-942-2672.

Bosa Properties brings Evergreen to Coquitlam

by Kerry Vital

Bosa Properties brings livability to Coquitlam with their newest project, Evergreen. Located just steps from TransLink’s upcoming Evergreen Line, the condominium tower will be bringing more than beautiful homes to the table.

“There really is something for everybody,” says sales manager Madonna Avitan.

With 195 homes in a variety of one- and two-bedroom plans, there is a home to suit every taste. Whether you’re looking for a one-bedroom with a work space or den or a two-bedroom penthouse with two bathrooms, you will be sure to find the perfect home.

Some of the suites are part of the Evergreen Estate Collection, which feature higher ceilings, expansive outdoor balconies (some over 600 square feet) and larger floorplans.

“There’s some exclusivity about them,” says Avitan.

A particularly impressive feature at Evergreen is the kitchen. Imported from Italy, the Armony kitchens include an Italian woodgrain and stainless-steel backsplash that lends a touch of elegance to the space, while the solid composite stone countertops are chic and modern. The stainlesssteel appliances are complemented by the dramatic brushed chrome lighting in the cooking area and breakfast bar, while the recessed halogen valance lighting in the cabinets makes it easy to find everything you need. The glass-laminated upper cabinet doors with their integral pulls offer plenty of storage space.

Moving into the bathrooms, the solid stone countertops and porcelain tile flooring are quiet odes to luxury.

The master ensuite features a gorgeous soaker tub or a walk-in shower with a full-height tile surround. The recessed stone vanity shelf in the tub or shower is just one of the many convenient little touches at Evergreen.

The imported Armony vanity with dual storage drawers is another beautiful touch, paired with a designer storage shelving unit beside it. The recessed halogen lighting continues in here to illuminate the toilet, sink and tub or shower, and the decorative polished chrome towel bars and paper holders are yet another little detail that adds up to a beautiful whole.

The access to SkyTrain is just amazing,” says Evergreen sales manager Madonna Avitan.

gym, an entertainment lounge and an open outdoor terrace with a barbecue area and firepit, Avitan says. Owners are also able to barbecue on their own balconies.

Evergreen is the fourth and final building in Bosa’s Westwood Village neighbourhood, following on the heels of Altamont, Claremont and Edgemont. These past phases have built up a beautiful neighbourhood around them, so buyers at Evergreen will be able to join an established community.

“The neighbourhood has been planned for a long time,” says Avitan.

With it’s fantastic location along rapid transit, Evergreen is able to take advantage of easy accessibility to the entire Lower Mainland. Communities located along SkyTrain lines often experience greater public safety due to increased pedestrian traffic, and life is often more environmentally friendly as

sports Whitecaps’ women playing here July 8

by Don Fennell Sports Editor For the third year in a row, the Vancouver Whitecaps will play a match in Richmond.

In an all-B.C. showdown, the Whitecaps women’s team will play the Victoria Highlanders in a United Soccer Leagues game July 8 at Minoru Park. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m.

Vancouver, led by current U.S. Olympic team member Sydney Leroux’s four goals, blanked Victoria 5-0 in last year’s match played on Canada Day. But Victoria won the only previous

match between the teams this year, 3-2 in the season-opener May 13.

Whitecaps, with two wins, three losses and three draws this season, will be minus Chelsea Stewart, Kaylyn Kylem, Desiree Scott and Brittany Timko who have all been selected to play for Canada’s national team at this summer’s Olympic Games July 27 to Aug. 12 in London, England.

The game will follow the Whitecaps’ under-18 men’s residency match versus the Highlanders, which starts at noon. Richmond youth soccer products Carlos

Marquez and Declan Rodriquez are expected to play for the Whitecaps.

“I’d really like to see the city come and support this event,” said organizer Stew MacPherson, executive director of Richmond Girls’ Soccer. “It’s a great family value.”

Noting the previous two games have been played before sellout crowds, MacPherson added the women’s match provides a level of soccer for girls playing the game to aspire to.

Tickets, $12 for both games, are available through www. richmondgirlssoccer.com.
