Neighbours alarmed after home riddled with bullets

28 PAGES

Day of the Dolphin Classic

Strong message delivered to Wilson Court home, whose occupants are known to police

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A five-bedroom, three-bathroom Wilson Court home in East Richmond, currently listed for sale at $728,900 now sports new features.

Eight bullet holes at the front of the house, including five in the garage door, and three in the surrounding wall, came courtesy a drive-by shooting Monday night around 8:20 p.m., frightening and worrying neighbours and prompting a strong police response.

“It was so loud,” said one neighbour, who happened to be asleep in bed when the sound of shots rang out.

She heard six gunshots in rapid succession, and then nothing.

“I thought it was firecrackers,” she said, adding that she soon realized that it wasn’t a holiday.

She noted the residential neighbourhood is filled with young families and children.

“This is a really quiet area, no violence or nothing,” she said. “Of course I was (scared).”

One neighbour pondered why the house was targetted: “Maybe that’s why they’re selling.”

Another neighbour was home with her mom when she heard what she said was three shots.

“I was scared. My mom thought it was firecrackers,” she said, adding that her

mom looked outside, but didn’t see anything.

Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said police responded to a report of multiple shots fired on Wilson Court around 8:20 p.m.

“There were non injuries to the occupants of the residence.”

Judging from the location of the bullet holes, the shots weren’t intended to kill, but instead send a message. If the shooter had intended to hurt someone, they could have fired at the bedrooms above the garage, or the living room to the side of the front door. Instead, all the shots were in the general direction of the garage door or the garage wall.

Turley said the occupants of the home are known to police, but it’s unclear why this shooting occurred.

“At this point of the investigation there are no suspects and it’s too early to say whether or not this incident is gang related,” Turley said.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Kaisei arrives in Steveston One of the biggest ships to visit Richmond arrives in time for festival

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Britannia Heritage Shipyard will host one of the largest vessels to tie up at its docks when the Richmond Maritime Festival gets underway next weekend.

The tall ship Kaisei arrived in Richmond last week, ahead of the ninth annual festival set for Aug. 10 to 12.

“It’s a great ship,” said Coun. Bill McNulty. “It’s going to give members of the community an opportunity to see something that they normally won’t see in a ship.”

The 151-foot brigantine had been scheduled to arrive in Steveston earlier this summer for Ships to Shore, but weather forced the crew to cancel its coastal voyage. But talks with city event planners continued, and the tall ship managed to sail to Britannia’s docks from the north Pacific.

“It’s a bit of a surprise that they’re able to now come and be with us, and it’s a bonus for us...to really enhance the Maritime Festival,” said McNulty, who called the ship one of the largest to dock at Britannia in a century.

The only larger vessel to dock at Britannia in modern times was Concordia, a 188-foot tall ship that ran

aground during its visit in 2004. It later capsized and sank off the coast of Brazil in 2010.

There were some questions whether Kaisei could sail into Britannia, but the shallow water channel proved to be deep enough. City spokesperson Ted Townsend said the Concordia grounding had more to do with navigation rather than channel depth.

Kaisei is certainly one of the largest vessels to visit Richmond, Townsend added, apart from the two Japanese Class A tall ships Nippon Maru and Kaiwo Maru.

“Everything worked out that they’re able to be here, and we’re happy they’re here,” said Townsend.

Kaisei crew are now on shore leave, but will return next week to talk about their research. The two-masted sailing ship is the primary research vessel for Project Kaisei, a group formed in 2008 to find solutions to the growing islands of plastic and marine debris in the world’s oceans. Project Kaisei is part of Ocean Voyages Institute.

The crew has spent the last several weeks tracking debris resulting from the tsunami that struck Japan last year.

Richmond Maritime Festival visitors will have a chance to board the ship and learn firsthand about its environmental research. A series of forums led by Project Kaisei staff and scientists is also planned.

Other vessels will be available for viewing and boarding during the event. Visitors are also welcome to tour the shipyard’s historic buildings and enjoy entertainment provided by musicians, roving performers, wood carvers, stilt-walkers, storytellers, dancers and drummers.

Arts and crafts activities will be offered for the kids, along with visits from special characters like Crabby the Crab.

Admission is free.

Bureaucrats to get new bureau Former RCMP headquarters spared from wrecking ball; will house city staff by fall

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter City employees will move this fall into a space that previously served as a home base for local cops.

Renovations are underway at the former Richmond RCMP headquarters at 6900 Minoru Blvd., next to Richmond City Hall. Slated for the renovated digs are civic bureaucrats who’ve been working at three sites away from the crowded floors at city hall.

The $1.95-million renovation project had earlier been put on hold while a plan on the future of the Minoru precinct was being developed.

“That process is still ongoing, but in the interim, the decision has been made to proceed with the staff relocations,” said Ted Townsend, city spokesperson.

Townsend said the new offices aren’t a short-term fix, and will be used by staff for “an extended period,” ruling out the wrecking ball for the former cop shop.

Earlier this year, council heard that options for replacing the seniors centre and neighbouring aquatic centre in Minoru Park could prompt the demolition of the RCMP building.

Townsend said the renovation is now expected to cost $1.5 million—with the majority of the budget dedicated to upgrading the aging structure.

Among the bureaucrats to move into the new offices are approximately 25 project development staff, currently in a leased space at 5440 Hollybridge Way. That building will soon be flattened to make way for two 15-storey towers and one 10-storey tower, under a proposed new condominium development from Hollybridge Limited Partnership.

Other staff expected to move into the former RCMP headquarters include those in the human resources department—now in a city-owned building at 6931 Granville Ave.—and parks planners based at the works yard.

Farmers market this Sunday

Google Maps photo The former Richmond RCMP detachment will soon be home to city staff.

As for the future of other civic facilities in the precinct—Minoru Place Activity Centre and Minoru Aquatic Centre—no plan has yet been made public.

The pool is scheduled to be replaced by 2014, and the seniors’ centre is slated for replacement in 2017.

There will be a Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market this Sunday.

The market runs biweekly throughout the summer, but with this weekend being a long weekend, organizers have moved the schedule forward a week.

The market takes place, rain or shine, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the corner of Third Avenue and Moncton Street in Steveston.

Following this Sunday, the next market will be Aug. 19.

Ho loses Olympic debut Marquardt in rowing final

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Richmond’s first chance at a medal at the 2012 London Olympic Summer Games disappeared last weekend, when local table tennis ace Andre Ho lost his preliminary round match to Nigeria’s Segun Toriola 4-1 Saturday.

But that doesn’t mean these Games are over for the 20-year-old Ho, who is making his Olympic debut. He’s still expected to compete for Canada in the team competition which begins with first-round play on Friday, Aug. 3.

Attending her third Olympic Summer Games, Richmond’s Darcy Marquardt and her Canadian women’s 8 teammates qualified for tomorrow’s Thursday rowing final scheduled to get underway at 4:30 a.m. our time. They made the final by winning their heat on

Sunday morning.

Curtis Moss, a Burnaby resident who trains with the Richmond Kajaks Track and Field Club, is scheduled to make his Olympic debut Aug. 8 in the qualifying round of the men’s javelin throw. That event is set to begin at 11:05 a.m. Pacific time, with the final on Aug. 11 at 11:20 a.m.

Finally, Richmond wrestler Arjan Bhullar is scheduled to make his Olympic on Aug. 11. Qualifying in the men’s 120-kilogram freestyle event is set to begin at 5 a.m. our time.

Monty Robinson avoids jail Former Mountie sentenced in obstruction of justice trial Former Richmond RCMP Cpl. Benjamin (Monty) Robinson received a 12-month conditional sentence for his obstruction of justice conviction.

Justice Janice Dillon indicated that Robinson will be under house arrest until Aug. 31 and has been ordered to pay a $1,000 victim surcharge fee.

Robinson’s Aboriginal status was cited as the reason for not ordering jail time.

His sentence means he will spend one month under house arrest. The remainder of his sentence will be subject to a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Robinson has also been ordered to write a letter of apology to family, abstain from drugs and alcohol, and finish the rehab program he has been enrolled in at the Edgewood facility.

The 42-year-old was convicted this spring of obstruction of justice in the October 2008 death of Orion Hutchinson, 21, of Tsawwassen.

Robinson was driving home when his vehicle collided with Hutchinson’s motorcycle in Delta.

Robinson told the court he left the scene of the accident to walk his two children home where he downed two shots of vodka to calm his nerves.

In her reasons for sentencing Justice Dillon said Robinson’s crime is at a significant serious level as he left the scene of an accident and, knowing the extent of his jeopardy, acted to mislead police.

“While the sudden and serious nature of the accident while Robinson’s children were in the car might explain Robinson’s

reaction to some extent and lower his moral culpability, his conduct was nonetheless deliberate and calculated,” Dillon said. “He used his knowledge learned as a police officer to mislead investigators: he made a choice.”

During the trial, the court heard testimony from Anne Rough, a Richmond high school teacher who graduated from South Delta Secondary School in 1988—the same year as Robinson—testified she overheard Robinson telling a small group of people how to best avoid a drunk driving charge at an annual Christmas party in Tsawwassen held one year before the accident.

“If ever you are drinking and driving and you come upon a road block, you should carry a small bottle of mouthwash and guzzle it before you go through the roadblock

because, if you do so, the alcohol content will throw off the breathalyzer, if they administer one to you,” Rough recalled Robinson saying.

According to Delta Police, Robinson’s breath samples gave readings of .12 and .10 mgs of alcohol (the legal limit is .08).

A coroner’s toxicological analysis also reported alcohol in Hutchinson’s blood.

The engineering analysis found Robinson was travelling between 24 and 29 km/h at the time of the collision, and showed Hutchinson was travelling between 66 and 96 km/ hr.

Said coroner Mark Coleman, “Speed and alcohol intoxication on the part of Mr. Hutchinson were contributing factors. Alcohol intoxication on the part of the driver of the Jeep is also believed to be a contributing factor.”

Justice Dillon, in her reasons for sentencing, said Robinson’s conduct, “discredited the police at a time when police conduct generally was under intense public scrutiny.”

Dillon added that imprisonment should be a last resort, “especially in the case of Aboriginal offenders.”

Speaking reporters outside the court, Hutchinson’s mother, Judith (pictured below), said the sentence felt like Robinson was being grounded.

“It doesn’t feel like a sentence to me,” Judith Hutchinson said. “ It feels like that’s not enough. It’s very frustrating.”

Hutchinson added her family does not want Robinson’s letter of apology.

When questioned about a possible appeal, Crown prosecutor Kris Pechet said said these cases are always reviewed.

Coast Guard base closure puts public at risk, council says 'If you're increasing response time, you're increasing the risk'

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter The closure of a Canadian Coast Guard station in Vancouver will tax the resources of Sea Island’s search-and-rescue base, says a Richmond councillor.

“It’s going to be a drain on resources,” said Coun.

Derek Dang. “This is going to take away from our own safety because we’ll now have a wider range to cover.”

Richmond council recently voiced its displeasure with the federal government’s decision to close the Kitsilano base through letters targeting Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Fisheries Minister Keith Ashfield and local MPs. The pending Kitsilano closure is among a number of Fisheries and Oceans Canada cuts across the country. The base is being amalgamated with the Sea Island Coast Guard station, located 17 nautical miles away and served by a single hovercraft.

tee, said the federal government isn’t being workers received notices in May from Fisherjudicious with its funds. ies and Oceans Canada, telling them that they could soon lose their jobs.

Resignation of Brian Jackson leaves Richmond City Hall without lead planner

A Richmond City Hall planner who helped guide the largest wave of development to wash over City Centre has jumped ship.

Brian Jackson, Richmond’s director of development, has accepted a new post with the City of Vancouver. Jackson will assume the role of Vancouver’s general manager of planning and development Aug. 27.

Jackson joined Richmond in 2008 and promptly introduced a set of awards to celebrate architectural design. Over the next four years he led planning, developer negotiations and development approvals in a city experiencing significant change in its core.

Jackson notified Richmond last week of his resignation. A replacement has not been named, according to city spokesperson Ted Townsend.

With the Richmond Olympic Oval and Canada Line as catalysts, development in City Centre has been moving at a record pace. The value of projects now under construction or in the planning process now total $4 billion, led by the 2,500-condominium project of River Green near the oval.

Jackson was in the midst of stickhandling the largest single application the city’s development department has ever received. Jingon International Development Group is proposing to build Vancouver International Plaza next to River Rock Casino Resort, a mixed-use

EDITORIAL: Amateur sports is seed for Olympics Even casual sports fans will be drawn to watching the thrill of victory and agony of defeat featured on prime time television during the 2012 London Summer Olympics.

And it’s quite the spectacle.

Athletes who normally don’t get this type of audience or following in fringe sports such as synchronized diving and weightlifting, will get their Andy Warhol 15 minutes of fame.

Well deserved, unquestionably.

Some won’t even get 15 minutes, as their appearance and then premature defeat, make it seem like little more than a drink of coffee.

But viewers need to remember the countless hours of dedication it takes to reach this pinnacle of achievement.

To make it to the Olympics is often once-in-alifetime.

To win a medal, that much more amazing.

To win gold, priceless.

But to get there, plenty of blood, sweat, tears and dollars need to be shed in the name of sport.

There’s something about untarnished and innocent amateur sports that sets it apart. Sure, professionals like NBA basketball players, tennis players and soccer players are the exception.

Olympic wrestler Arjan Bhullar got local sponsorship help in preparation for the Olympics.

But for the most part, the Olympics aren’t about millionaires trying to one-up one another.

The Olympics is about coming together in the name of sport and testing the limits of human achievement, about gathering for an opportunity for an out-of-body-like experience during a contest for gold.

But it wouldn’t happen without grassroots support.

Every single athlete who

competes at the Olympics was once a child, an unwritten book, and unpolished athlete, a diamond in the rough.

Who knows who Richmond’s future Olympians will be.

They could be hatched simply from the experience of watching the 2012 Summer Games in London, or perhaps watching the B.C. Summer Games here in B.C. And that’s where the

investment of dollars and cents can make an invaluable difference.

So when council convenes in September to consider whether Richmond should host the B.C. Summer Games in 2016, it shouldn’t all boil down to money.

Supporting amateur sports isn’t about the immediate payoff; it’s about the long-term investment that will grow over time, perhaps in rare instances

developing into a worldclass athlete, but almost always into well-adjusted, healthy and happy human beings.

People like local developer Amit Sandhu, from Ampri Group—who is financially sponsoring local Olympic wrestler Arjan Bhullar—understand that this isn’t an overnight investment.

It’s a long-term approach, one that takes vision and leadership.

The sounds of summertime Editor: How does the song go? “Summertiiiiiime, and the living is NOISY! ... Nails are driven ... and the shingles are hiiiiiiigh.”

There is no use in looking forward to summer anymore, at least not in our neighbourhood.

Where once we only had to contend with the sounds of lawnmowers, engines revving, power tools, and children playing, we now have to live with an endless round of house demolitions, cement trucks, construction noise, and trades people who insist on constantly screaming at each other and playing their boomboxes to maximum power.

I am not a psychologist, sociologist, or cultural anthropologist so my understanding of why our species is, to begin with, so uncomfortable and unable to live with quietude is limited. Give us power tools and we have to use them, if for no other reason than to justify the expenditure. Give us a quiet stretch of beach, a secluded campground, or a collection of nice backyards, and we have to annihilate the quiet with loud music. Give us cell phones and we have to try as hard as we can to totally fill-in the empty spaces between calls with more calls—any calls—about anything.

Human beings can eventually adapt to pretty

well any conditions—to a point. What we adapt to, unconsciously and consciously, doesn’t necessarily mean an improvement in quality of our lives or life styles. There is a abundance of research that provides ample evidence that factors such as overcrowding, noise pollution, and lack of privacy, all things that many people have been forced to adapt to, can mean a significant reduction in quality of life.

Years ago Robert Sommer wrote a landmark book about personal space and territoriality and one of his points was that privacy was one of the prime commodities that people valued most highly. Wealth, he pointed-out, allows you to buy large properties, distance yourself from your neighbours, and therefore maximize the likelihood of not having to share in their lives (sights, sounds, and smells) or of having them share in yours. In comparison, people living in poverty have little if any privacy and are often forced to endure conditions that might eventually drive them to either complete mental withdrawal from their environment, increased levels of conflict, or insanity.

Nothing is more disturbing than when we take a vacation to somewhere that we assume will be significantly quieter and more restful than the place

we are trying to escape from. And we find more construction, nearby railway lines or yards, party animals in rooms above, below, and/or beside us, or jets continually landing on a runway only a block away from the resort that looked so wonderful and peaceful on the website.

A few years ago we got the chance to use a cabin in the Gulf Islands for a few weeks and having had particularly stressful years at both our workplaces we set out with the belief we would find much needed relief and relaxation. Instead we were treated to days and even nights filled with the sounds of bulldozers, cement trucks, and trades people playing loud music while building new cabins along the road and waterfront. It was then that I realized that barring a lottery win, the implementation of draconian noise pollution bylaws in my city, a move to a gated community that heavily polices noise levels, or, perhaps the least likely of all, an influx of neighbours who like to live quietly, things were probably not going to change for us. With a huge house being built next door, and three houses down and across from us slated for demolition, I guess we will just have to adapt.

letters Keep electronics out of the garbage Editor: When there are so many opportunities available to recycle responsibly, why do people dump used electronics or furniture on the curb or put them in the garbage?

From organizations and companies that will pick up used items for free or a small fee, to newspapers and web sites that will advertise the availability of used items in good condition to those looking to buy cheap, not to mention many thrift store and recycling depot options, there are many avenues for people, with a little effort on their part, to responsibly get rid of items they no longer want.

It is really unsightly to see used electronics or furniture sitting on the curbside, sometimes indefinitely, and with concerns about the environment and deleting resources, no used electronics or furniture should be put in the garbage.

Don’t blame immigrants

Richmondites are friendly people

Editor: Killing innocent people by twisted minds is an abhorrent crime. It is even more disturbing when it happens in a country like Canada.

The recent shooting tragedy in the Scarborough area of Toronto has brought this issue to the forefront again. Unfortunately, some public officials in responsible positions have laid the blame for this tragic event on immigrants. Any such crime committed by individual(s) whether they have been in Canada for generations or have just come off the plane, must

Editor: Yet another letter to the editor complaining about lack of friendliness while walking the dykes of Richmond (“Try smiling at someone,” Letters, July 25).

All I can say is you haven’t passed a member of the Richmond Spirit Runners.

As well, I co-ordinate a morning run/walk group who regularly travel the dykes

Canada was built by immigrants. Immigrants continue to make huge contributions in making this country a great place to live. To blame the whole immigrant community for the actions of a few with deranged minds is inappropriate and unproductive.

All you have to do is say, “Hi, beautiful day isn’t it?” I always get a smile and a positive reply.

Pay parking ripoff Editor: Re: Pay parking problems at Richmond Hospital.

It’s a ripoff to pay $34 for six hours of parking. Many are in a rush to look for a doctor for help, and running back and forth just to get money to pay for parking is a big waste of time. The hospital should get someone to fix it up or it’s going to turn into a bigger deal soon.

letters Self-esteem movement is uncritically used in our public education system Editor: Whitney Houston died an ignominious (ignominy: dishonour, infamy, infamous conduct) yet her 1986 song “Greatest Love of All" (“Because the greatest love of all is happening to me/I found the greatest love of all inside of me�) is still regularly played on our radio.

This song along with song “Looking Out for Number One� (1981) could be considered one of the anthems of the self-esteem movement.

If anyone could be considered the poster gal of the “self-esteem movement� it would be Whitney Houston.

At the top of her singing career she had it all: fame, fortune, adoring fans and hangers-on attering her every move. Yet, Whitney died alone, stoned or drunk, drowning in her hotel bathtub. To her worshipful fans this was an object lesson in harsh reality, sham nature of self-esteem and transitory nature of fame, but few of them were paying any attention to this main message of Whitney’s sad death. Whitney continued to be eulogized and praised for her great achievements in music and in life in general.

To those who continue to hype and promote selfesteem in our public education school system as a panacea for all sorts of social and personal problems, this sad death of one of the icons of the self-esteem movement should have been a wake-up call and an occasion to re-evaluate actual beneďŹ ts of this un-

proven and dubious branch of modern psychology.

But unfortunately this did not happen and self-esteem proponents continue to foist self-esteem on our public school students every day.

The result has been an explosion of bullying: rude/ selďŹ sh conduct and outbreaks of increasing number of cases of brutal violence among school age children.

After all isn’t this the result one would expect when one continually strokes the egos of already selďŹ sh and egotistical children (who are this way by nature and not because of any special training in “loving oneselfâ€? or practice of “self-esteemâ€?).

Adding generous portions of self-esteem to human nature only serves to make children even more egotistical and self-centred with all the negative unintended consequences following closely behind. Perhaps it is time to modify these comfortable illusions of the self-esteem movement and tell our children the truth.

Self-worth, self-conďŹ dence and praise are something we earn through our own good efforts and hard work and are a reward for our own good achievements and accomplishments.

Continuing to praise and atter egotistical, lazy, underachieving and selďŹ sh students by telling them all they need is self-esteem regardless of how they behave or regardless if they fail or succeed in school is indeed a prescription for disaster and increasing levels of chaos within our public education system.

Jimmy Ng search-and-rescue crew kept busy last weekend It was a busy weekend for the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue, which kept boaters happy and took part in a rescue involving two boats that collided.

The most serious incident occurred around 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, when volunteer crews responded to an emergency in Richmond’s marshes, not far from the George Massey Tunnel.

A pleasure craft with one person aboard struck another with eight people on it.

Initial reports indicated some people were thrown into the water, but all were recovered onto one of the nearby islands.

Station 10’s vessel, the Jimmy Ng, responded from Richmond, as well as a Canadian Coast Guard hovercraft from Sea Island.

Patients were transferred to shore and rushed to hospital via ambulance with injuries, including three with serious injuries and two with minor injuries.

None of the injuries were considered life

threatening, and all involved were expected to recover.

Delta Police say one of the boat’s operators is being investigated for impaired operation of a vessel.

On Saturday, Station 10 members were on patrol in the north arm of the Fraser River, escorting Richmond boaters to the Celebration of Lights.

They were called to a 22 foot pleasure craft that was adrift near McDonald Beach with five people on board.

They were all placed ashore at the McDonald Beach boat ramp.

A disabled sailboat outside the north arm of the Fraser River was also given assistance.

“Both vessels, if not dealt with in a timely manner by searchand-rescue crews, could end up in serious trouble,” wrote Brian Hobbs in an e-mail. “The powerful currents of the Fraser River can quickly send a disabled vessel hard aground which would further endanger lives.”

During the fireworks, a disabled vessel placed a mayday distress call in the main arm of the Fraser

The volunteer crew from the Jimmy Ng was the only searchand-rescue vessel available to help, and brought the disabled boat into Steveston Harbour a couple of hours later.

food Milkfish and dessert decadence at Casa Pinoy

365 Days of Dining Lindsay Anderson

asa Pinoy is a Filipino restaurant located on a stretch of Bridgeport Road that’s largely industrial.

The restaurant is run by a couple, and in addition to their Filipino dishes they offer burgers, pastas, and various other western-style plates. Apparently they cater regularly to the surrounding businesses with orders for delivery and takeout.

I ordered a homemade empanada ($1.50), because who can say no to a homemade empanada?

Well, I guess vegetarians could, as the only ones on offer were chicken and beef. I went with the chicken, and enjoyed the contrast of savoury ground filling with the

flaky, slightly-sweet crust.

They’re such darling, delicious little packages.

On the recommendation of my server, I also had the Relyenong Bangus ($10.99), a national dish of marinated and stuffed milkfish served with rice and vegetables.

Milkfish is the most typical fish in Filipino cuisine, and is often eaten for breakfast.

The owner explained that because it takes a long time to prepare, Relyenong Bangus is typically eaten by Filipino families during special occasions; the entire fish must be de-boned, then the meat is mixed with chopped carrot, pepper, potato, peas, soy sauce, and raisins before being stuffed back into the fish. It’s marinated in the juice of a lemon called

The flavour of the cooked fish was both sweet from the raisins and savoury from the soy sauce, and had a texture similar to cooked tuna.

With the rice and sautéed fresh vegetables, it was a fantastic meal, and one that didn’t weigh me

down. Which was helpful because I needed room for dessert! Any flan fans out there? If so, you must try Casa Pinoy’s Leche Flan; it tastes SO BAD FOR YOU, and is therefore wicked good. It was creamy, richly caramelized, and sweet.

It’s a completely decadent way to end a meal, and just a warning: unless you’re the world’s biggest fan of flan, one slice can easily feed 2-3 people. It is rich.

A Seniors Lifestyle with Independence and Choice!

By Lisa Welbourn, Gilmore Gardens

T

oday’s senior wants an active quality lifestyle. Still wanting independence, yet trying to figure out how to have fewer responsibilities, downsize and keep up a healthy social life.

Independent living is all about having your own space but includes the opportunity to hang out with a (somewhat) harmonious group of retired men and women with similar interests, experiences and stories to share. Established in 1999, Gilmore Gardens was designed for the healthy, autonomous individual who doesn’t mind a few luxuries such as home cooked meals, housekeeping, maintenance, 24 hour emergency response, and social/recreational activities galore. At Gilmore, there are 125 residents enjoying the comforts of home, community and security.

A day in the life of a Resident Services Manager...

“People live stronger and longer,” says Marion Forbes, Resident Services Manager of Gilmore Gardens. “We offer lifestyle choices and a sense of security that gives residents and their loved ones peace of mind.”

“As a licensed practical nurse, it is my job to connect with each resident, help monitor and guide their needs and make sure they are in the best and safest space possible, for as Marion (left) and Audrey (right) enjoy an afternoon long as possible. Let’s at Gilmore’s Royal Tea where residents dressed for the face it, aging is not occasion with handcrafted fascinators and crowns. always graceful, but a hint of acceptance and a dose of humour goes a long way! It takes a strong, caring, dedicated team and I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the Gilmore Gardens one.”

A resident’s perspective...

“I have lived here for two years”, says Audrey May. “As a single woman with only a sister who lives 600 kilometres away, I have my challenges.

When I met Marion, I was having problems with my kidney and then pneumonia which left me weak, tired and emotional. Marion opened her door and just let me talk and talk and talk. I love knowing Marion will treat me like a person, not a patient.

Garth (left) and Florence (right) like the fact that Marion “We wish Marion was (middle) makes house calls, even when attending the here on the weekends residents’ Royal Tea! and any other day that our doctor is not available,” exclaims Florence Walker, resident of five years along with husband Garth. “She is so knowledgeable and keeps us on track.”

Garth piped in to say, “When I go to Marion, she puts everything aside and concentrates on me. She really hears me and is efficient.”

Customer service, respect, genuine care and individual support are what you can expect when you get past thinking about it and take next steps towards joining a seniors’ independent lifestyle, such as the thriving one at Gilmore Gardens.

Join us for Blueberry Tea and Desserts on August 8th or come for a complimentary lunch, dinner or overnight stay (based on availability). The choice is yours!

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter The Maple Residences officially opened its doors Monday, with affordable rental space to accommodate upwards of 200 seniors in spacious surroundings and set in active Steveston.

With sweeping views of Shady Island, Garry Point, a courtyard, tennis courts, a garden, a children’s water park and playground, seniors who live at The Maple will be surrounded by life and energy.

“It’s wonderful to celebrate the fruition of all our hard work with today’s opening of The Maple Residences,” said Chuck McDonald, president of Steveston Unit 284 of the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans Association.

Thanks to the ANAF’s contribution of $8.3 million worth of land, nearly $4 million from the federal and provincial governments, and $34.4 million in government financing, a project that’s been in the works for years—a combined effort from many community volunteers and stakeholders—is now a reality.

Richmond MP Alice Wong, minister of state for seniors, said the Maple will serve many needs.

Martin van den Hemel photo The 144-rental unit Maple Residences in Steveston were official opened at No. 1 Road and Chatham on Monday at the site of the new ANAF 284 building.

The Maple Residences open From Page 14 “Funding projects like The Maple Residences will not only improve the overall housing conditions for seniors, but also helps to stimulate the local economy and create jobs,” Wong said.

The 144-unit Maple Residences offers everything from one bedroom to two bedrooms with a den, with prices ranging from $2,300 per month up to $4,400

depending on the size and the location of the suite.

Evelyn Rodrigues, one of the residents at The Maple, said during a gathering for Monday’s press conference that it’s a great place to live, and she doesn’t have to cook and clean anymore.

Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap said the Maple means greater access to governmentfunded care.

“Seniors are the cornerstone of our community. It is important that our government makes the needs of our seniors a top priority,” he said.

Eileen Campbell, leasing administrator at the Maple Residence, took Wong and members of the media on a tour of the facility, which features roundthe-clock security.

There’s a library, exercise room, arts and crafts room, and even a beauty salon.

Every unit has either a balcony or steps out onto a courtyard area, with units on the south side of the building offering bird’s-eye views of the historic fishing village.

Steve Lee couldn’t hide the smile on his face following the men’s final at the Dolphin Classic Sunday night.

Nor should he have.

After 18 years playing in the annual 4-on4 playground basketball tournament, the former Steveston Packer was finally able to hoist the championship trophy, an honour the Runnin’ Rebels’ captain enthusiastically embraced after guiding his team past AIA 68-60 in a title game they led from start to finish.

“It feels good man,” Lee said. “Eighteen years is a long time.”

While the crowd at the 27th annual classic, played over three days last weekend at Thompson Park was clearly pleased for Lee, he was quick to call the victory a team effort.

“Everybody wants to come out and do something, but we had guys giving up shots and others giving up minutes. We may not have been the most athletic team, but we got the buckets when we needed them and played good, smart basketball. In the end I think we were the best team.”

Taking a back seat, when it came to individual awards, to teammates Tristan Smith and Kyle Grewal who were selected to the first all-star team and tournament MVP respectively, Lee was proud that the Rebels were able to defeat defending champion X-Falcons en route to the final. They also defeated a talented and energetic team representing Thompson Rivers, Triple Double, Top Guns and Rapid Motors along the way.

“I was (especially) happy to beat the XFalcons (in the playoffs) because I respect that club a lot and you always want to beat the best.”

While the Rebels’ victory ended the X-Falcons’ two-year reign as men’s champions (and five consecutive years in the final), Border Patrol continued its dominance in the women’s division with a third-straight title.

Led by captain and R.A. McMath Secondary grad Breanne Watson, and tournament MVP Daesha Henderson (a former star player at Seattle Pacific University), Border Patrol cruised to a 71-54 final-game victory over the Old Birds on Sunday.

“I was really happy for Daesha (who played in the inaugural women’s event three years ago),” said Watson. “I think we was little nervous her first time up here, but this year she was wreaking havoc not only on offence but on defence as well. I don’t think I have

Don Fennell photo Lindsey Wilson (right) of Border Patrol shows her determination to beat a UBC player to a loose basketball during women’s play Friday at the Dolphin Classic. Border Patrol went on to win their third consecutive women’s division title at the 27th annual 4-on-4 playground hoops tournament by defeating the Old Birds 71-54 in Sunday’s final played at the Thompson Community Centre. Runnin’ Rebels, meanwhile, netted their first-ever men’s championship by defeating AIA 68-60 in Sunday’s title game.

ever seen her play better.”

Watson and her friends will now set their sights on winning the annual Nike 3-on-3 at L.A. Live (in the shadow of Staples Center) this weekend in Los Angeles.

“It’s getting difficult for all of us to align our schedules and so this will be our last year in L.A. and we want to go out on a good note,” said Watson. “(As two-time defending champions) in the Elite Women’s Division) I think the pressure will be on a bit, so we’ve got to bring it.”

If they’re successful, Watson and her mates

will achieve a rare trifecta. With their victory last weekend, they’re also three-time Dolphin Classic champions and three weekends ago won their third consecutive Spokane Hoopfest title at the largest three-on-three tournament of its kind in the world.

•Clayton Crellin won his second consecutive slam dunk title, leaping over former winner Josh Masters in one of his attempts. Crellin unseated Masters, a former high school star at McNair, as the slam dunk king after the latter had won 11 titles, including seven in a row from 1999 through 2005.

Isles double up at BC’s Gold, bronze at junior ladies’ softball finals

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Just three days after helping the Richmond 93A Islanders win a provincial junior ladies softball championship, Jamie Randall and Yasmin Bains are back on the diamond in Truro, Nova Scotia.

The pair, entering their sophomore seasons at University of B.C. in 2012-13, are suiting up for Team BC at the Canadian under-21 championships which begin today and continue through Sunday. They were selected at the recent Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship.

Bains’ dad, Jerry, coached the Islanders

to last weekend’s provincial title—the best showing by the team in its history. He was an assistant coach for Donna Goodwin when Richmond placed second at the B.C. Bantam finals in Nanaimo in 2009 and third at the subsequent Canadian championship in Oakville, Ont. A man of few words, Jerry Bains said winning the junior title was “very gratifying” for the Islanders, some of whom hadn’t played in a couple of seasons.

“We also hadn’t had a junior (A) team in Richmond for a few years so that was good to see as well,” he said.

Richmond juniors take advantage of home field From Page 18 Though they were a first-year team at the junior level, the Islanders were solid throughout the lineup—capable of dominating at the plate as well as in the field. This was reflected in Sunday’s 6-1 victory over the North Delta Sunfire at London Park. The Sunfire held a 1-0 lead until the bottom of the fifth inning when the Islanders unloaded for six runs, led by a three-run out-of-the-park homer by Emily Merlo.

“Offence is always important be-

cause through the year you have your share of ups and downs,” said Bains. “We started the year really strong with everyone’s bats going and you don’t see that in lineups too often. It’s almost like it was contagious. Softball is typically a game where a pitcher controls it for the most part.”

The Islanders also got that stellar pitching from Randall, who was a workhorse much of the weekend.

•Richmond Islanders 92/93B went 2-0 in round-robin play before losing to the Fleetwood Force

in the first game of the double knockout round Saturday. They then won two consecutive elimination games against South Delta Invaders and Abbotsford Outlaws before bowing to the Port Coquitlam Ravens in a semifinal game Sunday. Richmond rallied from a four-run deficit to take a onerun lead in the top of the sixth inning, but Port Coquitlam tied it in the bottom of the seventh and won it 6-5 after two extra innings. The Ravens went on to defeat Fleetwood in the championship game.

Sydney Jeffers of the Richmond 93B Islanders slides into home plate against South Delta Invaders.

> Steveston Barbers’ 75th anniversary party

Barber shop celebrates 75 years

Around Town Amanda Oye

W

hat was originally going to be a small gathering to quietly mark the 75th anniversary of Steveston Barbers turned out to be something much bigger.

Over 200 people filled up Caesars Bar and Grill last Sunday afternoon to help celebrate the barber shop’s big milestone. “[The turnout was] awesome … really, really touching,” said Iain MacKelworth, who has owned Steveston Barbers for the last 19 years.

Among those in attendance were the shop’s current staff, previous owners and barbers

and customers, some of whom have been getting haircuts there for decades.

“We treat our customers like they’re our friends,” MacKelworth said.

More than being a business, the shop is “a place to hang out with friends,” he said.

Sunday’s anniversary celebration was an extension of this social atmosphere.

The restaurant was filled with laughter and chatter all afternoon as guests reminisced and enjoyed delicious food and drinks.

A few hours into the event 30 raffle prizes were given out, all of which had been donated

by Steveston businesses.

The day was “a celebration to recognize where we are,” MacKelworth said.

It was put on thanks in large part to Caesars Bar and Grill, which supplied the food.
