A house heads out of town Richmond house move attracts attention of reality TV show

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A pajama-clad crowd was treated to a show in the wee hours Wednesday as a truck hauled a 13,000-kilogram monster from their Seafair neighbourhood.

For 41 years, a 2,000-square-foot rancher sat on a corner lot at 7800 Gabriola Crescent—near Blundell Road and the West Dyke—but at 2 a.m. a crew from Nickel Brothers House Moving loaded it up and trucked it away.

The house was scheduled to arrive at

its new location in Nanoose Bay on Vancouver Island, by week’s end.

“I was woken at 2:30 a.m. with all the lights flashing. I rushed upstairs and looked out the window and wow, there is a great big house going past our front door,” said area resident John McCrossan.

Residents had been notified of the move, but McCrossan thought it had been delayed, since the city had dug up a section of Blundell Road—part of Nickel Brothers’ planned route to South Richmond. Hours earlier McCrossan had contacted the moving company about the unexpected roadwork.

Rick Picard, sales manager for Nickel Brothers, got the message and had to see it for himself.

“Lo and behold...they not only left an excavator right in the middle of the road,

but it was parked in front of a massive hole in the road,” said Picard.

Crews got the excavator moved, but the hole remained. Picard figured the househauling truck could get around it.

“That just proved to be, at 2:30 in the morning, more of a bloody challenge that you can imagine, but we got around it.”

The buyer, who plans to use the house as a primary residence, paid approximately $64,000 for the structure and its delivery to Vancouver Island. The owners of the Richmond lot plan to build a new house.

The move was part of a four-house shipping puzzle that began to come together Monday morning. Nickel Brothers moved two houses from a Delta storage yard onto a barge.

A medal for Marquardt

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Richmond’s Darcy Marquardt has won a silver medal at the 2012 Olympics with her Canada’s women’s eight rowing team.

Marquardt and her teammates finished second behind the vaunted Americans yesterday (Aug. 2) at the Olympic Summer Games in London, England.

Canada won a gold medal at a World Cup race in Lucerne, Switzerland last month in its final tune up for the Olympics. The U.S. didn’t compete in that race, however.

Canada also placed second to the U.S., by a mere 0.03 seconds, at a World Cup race in May. The Americans, who won today’s regatta in a time of six minutes, 10.59 seconds, have not lost a women’s eight event since 2005.

Canada’s second-place time was 6:12.06, with the Netherlands taking bronze in a time of 6:13.12.

Marquardt, 33, will retire after these Olympic Games which are her third. She narrowly missed reaching the podium in two previous Games, placing fourth in women’s pairs with Buffy Williams at the 2004 Summer Games in Athens, Greece and garnering the same result with the women’s eight at the 2008 Games in Beijing, China. Marquardt originally intended to retire following the Beijing Games, but reconsidered after realizing she still had the desire to be better.

Finance minister visits Richmond chamber Business community concerned about worker shortages, high value of Canadian dollar

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty spoke with about two dozen members of the local business community during a round-table meeting at the Richmond Chamber of Commerce Thursday morning.

Flaherty met with business leaders to gather input on what Ottawa can do on a broader scale for the economy, to better understand their concerns and to collect new ideas.

The discussions dealt principally with economic issues, but ranged from immigration to inter-provincial trade barriers, to tax policy, agriculture and manufacturing issues.

Flaherty’s visit to Richmond came just after the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver released its July sales data, which indicates the real estate market in the Lower Mainland continues to show signs of slowing.

“I actually welcome some cooling in the housing market, particularly in the condo sector,” Flaherty told reporters, adding that he has some concerns about the condo markets in Vancouver and Toronto.

He said Ottawa has on four occasions taken steps to tighten mortgage rules in an attempt to steer Canada clear of the type of real estate trouble experienced south of the border and in other countries.

When asked what the federal government can do to help businesses, Flaherty said reducing business taxes is on initiative Ottawa has already done.

“This province is a very attractive place to do business.”

Flaherty said Canada’s economy is growing slowly, and said there’s indications that Canadians are responding to fears surrounding high consumer debt levels by paying their debts promptly.

In explaining his visit, he said Richmond and the Greater Vancouver area play “such an important part” for the country’s economy.

Lansdowne Road to get ‘dynamic’ facelift Consultant sought to redesign City Centre road as pace of redevelopment quickens

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond City Hall is spending up to $135,000 to hire a consultant to transform Lansdowne Road into a “dynamic civic corridor and urban promenade.”

Dubbed the Lansdowne Road West Transformation Project, the city is accepting proposals for the design work until Aug. 17.

With redevelopment happening at a rapid pace in City Centre, planners want to move fast on designing the future of Lansdowne, west of No. 3 Road.

The city is already fielding a proposal to redevelop the former Grimm’s Fine Foods warehouse at

City of Richmond image The future Lansdowne Road will feature a 10-metre wide linear park that leads to the Richmond Olympic Oval.

Lansdowne Road and Alderbridge Way, and other light industrial and commercial buildings are soon likely to fall in favour of residential high-rises, which are now permitted under the revamped area plan.

“The transformation of the street will occur incrementally, with land acquisition and construction taking place in concert with adjacent de-

velopment sites and city-initiated transportation and infrastructure improvement projects,” according to the request for proposal document.

The project involves 800 metres of road, between No. 3 and River roads—connecting the Richmond Olympic Oval with the middle of City Centre. Planners envision a street accommodating pedestrians, cyclists,

public transit and vehicles.

Public art and places for social gatherings are key to the redesign— as is park space. A 10-metre wide linear park is envisioned along the road’s north side, leading to a fourhectare (10-acre) urban park near the oval.

The project focuses on Lansdowne Road west of No. 3 Road, but the long-term vision is for the design to

extend along the road’s entire 1.7-kilometre length, linking the Middle Arm to the Garden City lands.

The Richmond Olympic Oval, Lansdowne Station and Kwantlen Polytechnic University would all be nodes along the route—along with a possible new location for Richmond Public Library’s main branch, according to the proposal document.

Shark Truth rewards couple for going ‘fin free’ Richmond examining a possible ban while France puts bounty on sharks

Enjoy food, music, artists, storytellers, dancers, drummers and more.

But whatever you do, don’t forget to visit the bounty of beautiful wooden boats moored at the 190-metre (600-foot) dock.

Shark defenders gathered Wednesday to award a newlywed couple a week-long trip to the Galapagos for going “fin free” at their wedding reception.

Amy Li and Jackson Wan were one of 80 couples who avoided shark fin soup on their banquet menus this year and entered the third annual Happy Hearts Love Sharks contest offered by Shark Truth, a group dedicated to promoting awareness and education for shark conservation.

“We thought it was the right thing to do. Many of the shark species are in danger of extinction. In order to save them, we have to keep them alive,” said Wan. Animal rights activists contend sharks are harvested inhumanely and threaten species with extinction. And last month, civic politicians directed staff to investigate a possible ban on shark fins in Richmond.

Shark Truth’s focus is on lifestyle change, not legislative change, and executive director Claudia Li said she’s witnessing shark fin becoming taboo.

“This isn’t three years ago,” she said. “Everyone knows about shark fin now.”

Li’s group is working to convince restaurants to remove shark fin soup from menus, and to think more about sustainability by signing on to Vancouver Aquarium’s Ocean Wise conservation program.

But B.C. Asian Restaurant and Cafe Owners Association president David Chung isn’t convinced. He told The Richmond Review last month that eating shark fin soup is a right and a tradition restaurateurs don’t want to break. Chung also suggested shark finning balances the food system by keeping predatory shark populations in check.

And in at least one area of the world, shark attacks are growing. As early as next week, government officials in France are expected to begin offering cash rewards to fishermen who kill bull sharks in the waters off the Indian Ocean island of Reunion, France.

A dramatic rise in deadly attacks—seven since the start of 2011—is pushing politicians to take action against the large, aggressive species.

Nonetheless, 26 to 73 million sharks are killed each year to feed the demand for shark fin, according to University of B.C. researchers, who recently examined legislation used in some countries aimed at curtailing the practice of shark finning: removing fins and throwing shark bodies overboard.

Daniel Pauly co-authored the study and said “it’s embarrassing” how little has been done to protect sharks, noting just 59 countries in the world have legislation related to sharks, and much of it doesn’t go far enough.

Richmond rancher gets moved to Nanoose Bay

B.C.’s Privacy Commissioner will probe the use by municipal police of cruiser-mounted cameras that rapidly scan thousands of licence plates from passing vehicles into a database after critics raised objections.

Elizabeth Denham said her investigation of the Automated Licence Plate Recognition system is already underway.

Civil libertarians are applauding the announcement, arguing the RCMP and other forces are using the plate-scanning technology for purposes beyond the original intent.

The 43 camera-equipped police cars in the province scan passing or parked vehicle plates against ICBC and national police databases.

Next was the Richmond rancher.

Earlier in July, the moving company had spent a few days preparing the house for its journey: removing the chimney, tearing down decks and removing other attachments. Wheels were then swung under the house and temporary no-parking signs were erected before the truck hooked up to the house for its early-morning journey.

It travelled down Blundell to No. 1 Road, turning east on Steveston Highway and south to Dyke Road.

Crews squeezed the house onto the barge around 4:30 a.m., and the three houses were shipped across Georgia Strait.

Transit Police have enforcement push coming in September

“We think if we advise people where we’re going to be doing our fare checks they will realize we are out there in force and they have to buy their fare tickets or they’ll be getting violation tickets,” she said.

She said it’s a similar tactic to police telling the public locations of speed traps – while it may help violators dodge a ticket the greater publicity increases awareness, hopefully improving compliance.

Drennan also noted the publicized blitzes aren’t the only spots fare cheats could be caught.

“Just because certain people might avoid the places where we’re particularly ramping up our enforcement doesn’t mean they won’t be checked at other locations.”

New provincial legislation also takes effect in September giving TransLink wider powers to go after violators, most of whom did not pay their $173 fines.

ICBC must now deny licence and vehicle insurance renewals and TransLink will be able to dispatch bill collectors, among other potential methods.

Unpaid fare evasion fines averaged $4 million a year in recent years.

TransLink will also get the paid fine revenue

from now on, instead of the province.

There will also be more enforcers able to write tickets on the system.

Until now only Transit Police could issue fines, but that power is now extending to other TransLink security personnel and SkyTrain attendants.

A new fare enforcement blitz that started July 23 saw Transit Police check 10,000 passengers and issue about 100 fare evasion tickets.

Asked if that violation rate – just one per cent – was low, Drennan said rates vary.

“They always find when they go out there are people who have not paid.”

Transit Police issue close to 60,000 fare evasion tickets a year.

Sports ethics teacher says losing on purpose is cheating Badminton scandal at 2012 Summer Olympics has people buzzing about strategy of losing

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A University of B.C. ethics instructor says losing on purpose isn’t strategy, it’s cheating.

Richmond’s Janna Taylor, who teaches classes in sports ethics at the university’s School of Human Kinetics, said she’s seen footage of the badminton teams who tried to lose on purpose earlier this week at the 2012 London Olympics in hopes of earning a more favourable seed during the elimination round. “To me, it’s cheating. It’s just another form of cheating,â€? Taylor told The Richmond Review Thursday. “I think the Olympic committee did the right thing, they disqualiďŹ ed them.â€?

Off-duty ofďŹ cer helps nab suspects A Richmond RCMP officer managed to catch a couple of robbery suspects in Burnaby’s Metrotown on his day off recently.

Const. Calvin Leung was driving down Kingsway when he saw two males run across the street. “Cars were braking hard to avoid running them down. I was going to roll down my window and have a word with them but then I saw them strip off their top layer of clothes. I thought something was up so I followed them,� said Leung in an RCMP press release.

Leung parked his car and followed them onto a bus. He told the driver to wait for police and he called 9-1-1. Burnaby RCMP linked the pair to a robbery of a local restaurant that had happened just minutes before. A large hunting knife was found on one of them.

Police say George Mack Nicholson and James Douglas Holden of Vancouver are facing charges of robbery in connection with the incident.

one from China and Indonesia were booted from the competition. One of the Chinese teams’ players, Yu Yang, has quit the sport after publicly apologizing.

The talk on Twitter included one comment that this was a legitimate form of strategy.

But Taylor said that deliberately and repeatedly hitting a shuttlecock into the net isn’t strategy. “Hitting it into the net is not strategy, that is not even playing,� she said.

If the Olympic committee were to condone allowing teams to deliberately lose, that would send the wrong message, including to children. “Is that appropriate to teach your child, particularly to throw games?�

And it’s the thin edge of the wedge. If cheating is condoned in sport, does that mean cheating is okay at work, or in politics? “What is the ultimate goal here?� Taylor asked. “Is it to win, or play the best you can?

To me it’s to play the best you can, to have respect for your competition, to work hard, train hard and play hard. Of course, everybody would like to win gold, but there’s always winners and losers. “I think we hold our athletes to a higher place, especially when it comes to the Olympics.�

I don’t have enough bone for dental implants Bone loss in jaws always occurs when teeth are lost.

Up to 50% of the bone ridge volume can disappear in the Àrst year after teeth extractions because there are no longer any roots to stimulate the bone. Extensive periodontal disease and ill Àtting dentures also lead to the thinning and shortening of the jawbone. This leads to complications when attempting to place implants as the dentist requires a suitable amount of bone to support the implant.

To solve this problem, the dentist can often do bone graft procedures called Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) or a sinus lift (in the upper jaw). Bone grafts in the mouth are a proven way of building a solid foundation for implants to be placed. If you’ve been putting off going to the dentist for years or have been told that you don’t have enough bone for dental implants, Dr. Nelson may be able to help you.

Dr. Greg Nelson offers a FREE initial consultation.

During your consultation, you can discuss possible ways to improve your smile and get a better idea of what Dr. Nelson can do for you.

“I lost my two front teeth when I was 7 during a playground accident. It has taken me 28 years to Ă€nd a dentist that I was comfortable with and I knew had the expertise and patient care to tend to my complicated dental case. Dr. Nelson and his team have been exceptional during the entire bone grafting procedure to correct a bone defect that has come from missing my teeth for so many years. I highly recommend Dr. Nelson when it comes to bone grafting and implants. He goes above and beyond for his patients to ensure they are comfortable and have all the information they need to make informed decisions. I’m loving my new smile!â€? — E. Scott

EDITORIAL: Taking too many for the team?

What do the loss of Delta farmland, the paving over of ancient aboriginal sites on the Fraser River and Enbridge’s planned Northern Gateway oil pipeline to Kitimat all have in common? All three are sacrifices B.C. is being asked to make so the rest of Canada can use B.C. ports to exploit rising trade with Asia.

Agricultural land is being carved off in blocks big and small to convert into port-related development or highway improvements. The South Fraser Perimeter Road last year rolled over some of the province’s oldest First Nations archaeological sites near the Alex Fraser Bridge.

That may have gone relatively unnoticed but most Lower Mainland motorists know their commutes are increasingly slowed by trucks clogging the roads and longer trains

holding up traffic – more symptoms of the pressure to make us Canada’s west coast super port.

Now, after a rising tide of public opposition to the Northern Gateway pipeline, Premier Christy Clark has vowed to block it without world-leading environmental protection and a big share of benefits for B.C. She has her eye on the $81-billion tax bonanza governments stand to reap from the pipeline.

Should Ottawa attempt to force it through, the province threatens to bog Enbridge down in permit approvals and even deny the project electricity from BC Hydro.

Standing up to Alberta and Ottawa might make good politics in the dying year of a possibly doomed government. But such posturing likely rings hollow for local environmental

groups like the Burns Bog Conservation Society that have spent years fighting the SFPR over the threat it poses to the bog and wildlife habitat along the Fraser.

The perimeter road is all about quickly shunting trucks between Deltaport and Highway 1, which is also expanding to 10 lanes through much of Metro Vancouver.

For years, the B.C. government has been an ardent partner of Ottawa in its Asia-Pacific Gateway strategy, expediting the port and road expansion. Victoria never lifted a finger to stop the resulting industrialization of farmland, and in fact pulled land out of the Agricultural Land Reserve to enable the port expansion envisioned in the Tsawwassen Treaty.

The feds have pumped in hundreds of millions of dollars – not just for

obvious port-related projects like the SFPR and Roberts Bank Rail Corridor overpasses, but also big contributions to the construction of the Pitt River Bridge, the Canada Line and now the Evergreen Line to extend SkyTrain to Coquitlam.

That doesn’t take away from the fact there are downsides to being Canada’s West Coast industrial park.

Whether it’s the new Enbridge pipeline, the Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal or more expansion of port terminals, all of this boils down to the same thing: an expectation B.C. suck it up and accept inconvenience, risk and environmental or other losses to benefit the rest of Canada.

If we are being asked, over and over, to take one for Team Canada, maybe it is time to consider seeking a new deal.

Tales of Richmond Erin Hanson

C

aesars on Steveston Highway was hopping this past Sunday night, as over 150 people joined together to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Steveston Barbers.

Owner and barber Iain MacKelworth kindly invited me to the party after I told him that my great-grandfather, Peter Martyniuk, founded the barber shop in 1937. My great-grandfather was a Ukrainian immigrant who lived in Manitoba before venturing west in the 1930s.

When he first arrived in B.C., he worked at the Hotel Vancouver as a barber. One weekend, Peter decided to take the southbound interurban tram until the last stop. Peter ended up in Steveston, and right away he noticed that the town had no barber. He bought a shop on Moncton Street, (3891 Moncton, where Village Bikes is currently located), and the rest is history.

I knew that Sunday night would be full of good stories, and I was hoping to hear some of them. The venue was packed with people of all ages: customers, neighbours, family, friends,

and barbers past and present. I approached a table of two white-haired men and introduced myself as Peter’s great-granddaughter.

“Pull up a chair!” they warmly invited. They introduced themselves as Randy Hendricks, barber and owner from 1970 to 1993, and Pierre Bernanose, who worked at the shop from 1990 to 1995. Randy took over the shop from his father, Bob Hendricks, who bought the business in 1969. I was surprised to learn that Randy knew my great-grandfather quite well.

“Did you know that my dad bought the shop twice?”

Randy asked me with a laugh. `”My dad bought the shop from Peter’s brother, since Peter was away at the time. When Peter came back,

he couldn’t figure out why my dad was there. When Peter finally asked him, my dad explained he bought the barber shop from his brother.

According to Peter, his brother had no right to sell it, so my dad had to re-buy it all over again.”

Randy told me more stories about the trouble they got up to when Peter was away on vacation. One time, Randy and Bob renovated the interior of the shop. When Peter returned, he was outraged to find his shop completely redone without his permission.

“After a few weeks, Peter acknowledged the renovations were pretty good,” Randy remembered, “He said, ‘they’re really good. So good in fact, that I’m upping your rent.’” We shared a laugh as we realized that must

have prompted Steveston Barbers’ move to another building directly across Moncton Street in the 1970s.

In 2009, Steveston Barbers relocated a third time to their current location on Chatham.

Randy and Pierre reminisced about the laughs they shared over the years at the shop, and the many pranks they played on co-workers, bosses, and yes, sometimes even customers.

Ryan Lewis started working at Steveston Barbers in 1998. “For some of us, it`s more than just a job,” Ryan told me. I asked him why he thinks Steveston Barbers has such a legacy. “In this age of chains and big box stores, not everyone has a story anymore.” Ryan explains.

“This place has a story. There is community and cohesive-

ness because of that.” Ryan makes it clear that he values that history. “Ì try to ask older customers about the history of this place when I can.”

When all of the barbers who ever worked at the shop were called together for a photograph on Sunday night, men spanning several generations gathered together with big, proud smiles.

I couldn’t help but wonder what my great-grandfather would’ve thought if he could see the family he unknowing helped create when he started up the business on that day back in 1937.

Erin Hanson was born and raised in Steveston and is a fourth-generation Richmondite. Her column appears monthly.

Parking isn’t working in Steveston Editor: In the morning and the evening I live in my Steveston Village. One night I park my car on a side street only to return to find my battery is dead from leaving the lights on.

I didn’t think to write a note of explanation since it was Sunday the next day. It occurred to me in the morning that I would likely be ticketed, I return to my car well before noon and pick it up from the dash, ding, $35.

I go to arrange cables and a friend’s car for a boost and return to find another ticket, ding, $35.

A couple of days later I stop at my favorite west side coffee shop to pick up my morning americano as I am on my way to school for a day of welding.

I return to find her

printing a ticket ding $45, $75 if you don’t pay on time.

I said, “No, you are mistaken, I was only in there a few minutes, you can’t do this it’s a Village,”, in fact I was in auto pilot mode, I had forgotten to take my keys out of the ignition.

“Sorry, once it’s printed I can’t do anything about it, you will have to talk to Ian about it,” said the lady bylaw enforcer as she went onto the next car.

For some reason I did not offer her a coffee.

Like many, I have experimented with bike vs. car vs. transit while I live in my Village over the last few years. In 12 years I did not once imagine being stressed about a parking spot. For two months I took public transit to Annacis Island before I bought

a 22-year-old car that works well and gets me from A to B with precision everyday.

In the space of a week my one glass of wine and one cup of coffee went up about 12 times. Everyone who lives here knows that you can score a job with or without gratuity for $10 to $12 an hour yet that is well below the living wage let alone a wage that will get you a bit more.

After and between 7-10 years of being out of the professional workforce while being in “the underground economy of a stay at home Mummy” I dream to make a higher wage than $10 to $12 an hour so I can afford to pay my parking tickets, but for now I live in my Village and appreciate the simple pleasures of a quick cup of coffee, a

decided to surrender the animal after the May 21 accident.

The clinic turned to the Richmond Animal Protection Society, which called on the public for help. In two weeks, the society had collected $2,000—a fraction of the total cost.

The Terra Nova veterinarians were undeterred, performing the surgery at their own cost.

“We are not concerned about the money,” Chaudhry said. “We are concerned about recovery procedures. If he’s recovered, then we are happy.”

Carol Reichert of the Richmond Animal Protection Society was relieved.

“We could only make the first payment, but they still continued on with his treatment,” she said. “We are very grateful.”

Tovi began to recover after three weeks of intensive treatments. After six weeks, he finally left Terra Nova to live at the city shelter, with one cast remaining to be removed.

“He’s now doing fine, and improving a lot,” Chaudhry said.

Now, Tovi—a great pyrenees, malamute cross—hobbles and limps but plays as a friendly puppy does.

“He is the most warm, loving, angelic little guy you could ever meet,” said Reichert. “I call him little but he is going to become a big dog when he grows up—a big gentle dog.”

The shelter is now accepting adoption applications for Tovi.

Fewer homes selling and prices softening 50 per cent fewer homes sold in Richmond in July compared to a year ago: real estate board

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Home sales continue to cool in Richmond, and buyers are seeing prices drop, but only slightly, according to the latest ďŹ gures released by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver.

Detached house sales dropped 51.2 per cent in July compared to a year ago, with just 60 houses changing hands in July compared to 123 in July of 2011.

While the median selling price last month was $1.01 million, up compared to last month and a year ago, real estate board president Eugen Klein clariďŹ ed that overall prices are softening.

Using the Home Price Index—which monitors and accounts for when a cluster of high-priced homes sell in a given period thereby skewing the median selling price—Klein said the benchmark home in Richmond has dropped 3.9 per cent in price over the last year.

Klein said that Richmond experienced a spike in real estate prices 18 months ago, when the median price jumped $100,000 per month for four consecutive months, setting records. “That’s not sustainable,� Klein said Over the past three years, the benchmark home’s

Audit shakes up legislature finances

by Tom Fletcher Black Press

Black Press files Speaker Bill Barisoff is led into the B.C. legislature chamber by the sergeant-at-arms in the traditional daily ceremony.

This summer could be a scorcher.

The B.C. legislature's internal finances are being dragged into the 21st century in response to a damning report from Auditor General John Doyle.

MLAs will start releasing detailed expense reports and conducting Legislative Assembly Management Committee meetings in public starting this month, Speaker Bill Barisoff announced after a hastily arranged meeting to respond to the audit. Two new financial staff positions are being added to address what Doyle called "pervasive deficiencies" in basic financial accountability.

The audit found that MLA credit card bills were being paid without receipts, and the legislative assembly hasn't produced financial statements despite a 2007 recommendation from the previous auditor general.

Legislature bank records didn't correspond with actual bank balances, and records for the gift shop and dining room don't allow for efficient management.

Doyle said a future audit will look at the $119,000 annual allowance for MLA constituency offices, which Barisoff had asked to be exempted from the current examination. Transfer amounts and salary expenditures were verified, but other expense claims were not.

Barisoff and Clerk of the Legislative Assembly Craig James emphasized that the audit did not find any misappropriation of funds. Doyle said he was unable to rule out fraud because the records aren't complete enough to do so.

Senior MLAs for both parties sit on the management committee, which administers an annual budget of $62 million to run the legislature chamber, law clerks, library, security and other

B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins says Liberal and NDP MLAs need to be accountable over expeneses.

departments. They include B.C. Liberal house leader Rich Coleman and caucus chair Gordon Hogg, as well as NDP house leader John Horgan and caucus chair Shane Simpson.

Simpson said the problems go back many years, and he wants to make changes rather than point fingers, which sparked a furious response from B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins.

“B.C. Liberal and NDP MLAs are clearly circling the wagons, resisting calls for accountability with regards to their skyrocketing expenditures," he said.

Cummins called for Barisoff to resign for failing to get the management committee to intervene sooner, a suggestion Barisoff dismissed as a product of the summer "silly season" where trivial items make the news.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 12 • 10AM-4PM

Man.

Aidan, 10, plays Winthrop Paroo in the Theatre Under the Stars production of the musical, presented in Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park. The show alternates nights with Titanic: A New Musical until Aug. 18.

Now in its 66th season, Theatre Under the Stars is presenting musicals whose stories are both set in 1912.

The Music Man is the tale of charming con man Harold Hill, who descends on glum River City, Iowa posing as a marching band organizer intent on keeping kids out of trouble with a boys’ band. His scam is almost flawless—until he runs into Marian, the town’s piano teacher and librarian, who captures his heart.

Aidan’s character Winthrop is shy—a boy still coming to grips with the death of his father.

When Harold comes to town, he befriends the boy, who learns later that Harold has been lying to him all along.

Aidan’s previous theatre credits include All the Way Home (Electric Company) and Salmon Row—a Mortal Coil production from last summer at Britannia Heritage Shipyard. The Richmond lad also has experience in commercials and film, and trains with the Gateway Theatre Academy, Up! Dance and Theatre Company, Tarlington Training and the Arts Connection.

Tickets, $29 to $44, at tuts.ca or 1-877-8400457.

Meanwhile, Aidan’s older brother, Jordan Wessels, is also busy on stage this summer. Jordan

arts & entertainment Scenes from Richmond showcased in new exhibition Longtime local artist Jeanette Jarville is exhibiting a series of made-in-Richmond paintings at Richmond City Hall.

Reflections of Richmond runs until Sept. 30 in the galleria. Works in the exhibition capture the colours and ambience of natural areas in Richmond, and are painted in a contemporary, stylized way.

Using various shades of blue, grey, brown and green, Jarville helps create the mood experienced in these local places, some captured with orange

and violet hues of sunsets.

Her work is framed in heritage window frames, referencing the history of these areas and putting the viewer in the position of looking out toward them. Jarville is also preparing for another solo show—at Gateway Theatre’s mezzanine gallery this fall—an exhibition that will showcase new abstract figurative work.

Chuckers hope to win as underdogs Richmond City Baseball hosting B.C. Bantam AAA championship at Blundell Park

by Don Fennell Sports Editor In sport, perhaps more than anywhere, anything can happen. That’s especially true in baseball which caused legendary former New York Yankee Yogi Berra to proclaim: “It ain’t over till it’s over.”

Richmond City Chuckers have to believe they can win the provincial Bantam AAA baseball championship which is being hosted by Richmond City Baseball through Monday at Blundell Park. And they may. Realistically, though, the Chuckers are a long shot after finishing the regular season three games over .500 at 22-19 and seventh in the 15-team league which saw provincial favourites Cloverdale Black Spurs (36-5-1) and Abbotsford (36-6) finish within a percentage point of each other atop the standings. “(The Chuckers’) finish was not a bad result with only three returning players (Brett Gelz and Jacob Latrace),” said Richmond manager Alex Klenman,

whose lineup features several Bantam A grads and a solid group of incoming Peewees.

Unlike the players on Cloverdale and Abbotsford, which Klenman says appear physically older than the 14- and 15-yearolds they are, the Richmond players are for the most part still very young and learning the game. Adding to the challenge for the Chuckers is the fact there are several quality teams in this weekend’s tournament and the Chuckers have a tough draw.

Klenman, however, is optimistic hoping the team would get an instant shot of confidence by upsetting Abbotsford in its opening game Thursday. Richmond’s additional round-robin games are set for today (Friday) at 2 p.m. versus Victoria Red, Saturday at 9 a.m. versus Cloverdale Red and at 3 p.m. versus Vancouver. The top two teams in each pool then cross over for playoffs, with the winners playing off the championship.

The winning team qualifies for the national championship Aug.

23 to 27 in Vaughn, Ont., while the second-place team qualifies for the Western Canadians Aug. 17 to 19 in Regina.

There’s little doubt in Klenman’s mind that the Chuckers are capable of defeating any of the teams at the provincials.

But he says their opponents know that too and as a result they’re no longer under the radar.

“Teams take us seriously which is a mark of pride for our guys I guess,” he says, adding if the Chuckers are successful it will be playing a very conservative game and shining defensively.

“If we’re going to win, they’re going to low-scoring games— not 10-9 or something like that,” he says. “And we’ll have to hope our pitchers stand tall and we can squeeze a run across the plate.”

Klenman says there will be a ton of great prospects playing at the tournament, and no doubt a few bird dogs in the stands.

Kajaks’ juniors looking at bright future Veteran head coach Richard Collier sees more success for local track and field athletes

by Don Fennell Sports Editor There’s nothing more rewarding for a veteran coach than to see his students succeeding.

For some, like Richard Collier, it may even be motivation to extend a career.

For the better part of

the last two decades, the head coach of the Richmond Kajaks (who is also its throws coach) has dedicated himself to helping local track and field athletes realize their potential. But even after working with many of Canada’s elite, several of whom have gone on to establish provincial and

national records, he’s never been more optimistic. Collier acknowledges even he’s feeling rejuvenated thanks to the positive energy around the club these days. “More people are getting involved (and the athletes are being rewarded with strong results),� he says, point-

ing to the growth of the junior development (JD) program as an example. “Two years ago we only had about 10 athletes in JD and now we’ve got almost 30. That’s a really big jump but I expect that to continue.�

Collier says starting the training season earlier indoors, and revamping the program to include a lot of circuit and strength training, have helped the young Kajaks get a jump start on the outdoor season. He adds the advent and subsequent growth of Track Rascals (an introductory program for sixto eight-year-olds which helps build a foundation for success in all sports and physical activities) is also generating a lot of interest in track and ďŹ eld.

The subsequent success enjoyed by Kajaks athletes at local and championship meets is also creating a buzz, and attracting more kids to give track and ďŹ eld a try. “Sometimes kids shy away from joining track and ďŹ eld because they’re not comfortable,â€? he says. “But getting into track builds your conďŹ dence up.â€?

While last weekend’s annual B.C. junior development championships signals the end of the competitive outdoor season for many of the athletes, several Kajaks still have the Royal Canadian Legion championships to look forward to.

The 2012 championships (under-15 to under-17) are scheduled to be held Aug. 17 to 19 in Charlottetown, PEI, where Kajaks Autumn and Asiana Covington, Mark Kalmykov and Chanell Botsis are expected to be medal contenders. Botsis was selected the most outstanding athlete at the recent B.C. Summer Games in Surrey where

she won the girls’ hammer throw, discus and javelin (a meet record 43.06 metres) events.

Collier says when the athletes achieve success,

they’re more inclined to stick around and advance to the next level, which after junior development (nine- to 14-year-olds) is known as midget.

The renewed success of the athletes has also inspired Collier to search out new ideas and make training more interesting and fun for the athletes.

by Don Fennell Sports Editor The British dished out another lesson on the rugby pitch Sunday at King George Park.

Playing its seventh of 10 games during an extended North American tour, Adams Grammar School from Newport in the west of England, near the Welsh border, gave up an early try and then stormed back in the second half, adding a late try, to secure a 17-14 victory over the Richmond Rugby Club, comprising current students and recent grads from Hugh McRoberts Secondary and other Richmond schools.

The host side held a 14-10 lead until the last 10 minutes, when the opportunistic Brits showed their mettle and skill to rally.

All was not lost for the locals, however.

“These are always well worthwhile for our teams,” said Joe Clemente, a member of the McRoberts’ coaching staff. “It’s important for the kids to have contact with good quality rugby sides and this was a tremendous opportunity to put their skills to the test and continue to develop them.

It’s a good thing Jodi Gentile isn’t afraid of work—she’ll have plenty of it during the next year.

Richmond’s Gentile, 16, and two of her teammates (Chelsea Wilson and Mackenzie Wong) from the Fraser Valley Phantom were selected to the provincial under-18 girls’ hockey team after five days of tryouts in Salmon Arm. They will be joined on the squad by two of Gentile’s former teammates from the Richmond Ravens, Leah Lum and Emily Costales.

While the girls were in Salmon Arm they were fortunate to meet and play exhibition games against the Kazakhstan national women’s team.

“Wow, what an opportunity,” said Gentile, who joined parents, players and staff from both teams for a banquet Saturday.

The next step for Team BC will be a preparation

tournament Sept. 28 to 30. It will be played at a yet-t0-be-determined site in the Lower Mainland featuring local Bantam and Midget boys’ teams.

Team BC will be traveling to Dawson Creek Nov. 3 for the national under-18 championships.

Competition will begin on Nov. 7 and conclude Nov. 12.

She also expects to play in a Labour Day tournament in Vermont with the under-17 Western Canada Storm.

In addition to hockey, Gentile is planning another busy semester at McNair Secondary with the Grade 11 student enrolling in English, Spanish, chemistry and pre-calculus. Her mini school is also planning a trekto Strathcona, an annual five-day outdoor education trip.

Gentile also plans to write her SATs and ACTs next spring.

Richmond’s Jodi Gentile has a busy year ahead of her—on and off the ice.

From Page 15 “These are the best kids in this age group in the province and we’re looking at future collegians and possibly some future pros,” he says. “But it’s hard to project how they’ll mature. At this age they’re are still enthusiastic and don’t have a lot of distractions.

Some may look particularly good right now and drop off, while others who don’t look as good will suddenly blossom at 18 or 19.

reward venture.”

The Chuckers’ pitching staff features second-year players Latrace, Saylor Gray and Zach Besler, but also relies heavily on first-year arms Tyler Hoefer, Isaiah Hayes, Logan Newman, Mackenzie Marquis and Mitchell Rennie. Second-year player, Gelz has been among the team leaders with the bat and first-year player Spencer Rankin solid behind the plate.

While young, the infield has shown some real potential and

progress over the course of this season featuring the likes of Marquis, Gray, Latrace, Hoefer, Rennie and Marc Ashford. Kieran Moon, who played Bantam A last year, has also played well at first base.

The full-sized field also requires players to run, track and throw well forcing the Chuckers to make roster choices with this in mind.

Jacob Tersigni and Alex Thiessen, along with Hayes, Besler, Gelz, Newman and Moon have been among the players who’ve seen duty in the outfield.

Trio helps Team BC win world series Richmond City Baseball proud of its role

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Richmond City Baseball officials have every reason to feel a strong sense of pride these days.

After all, its teams are enjoying plenty of success and its players and coaches are also contributing to the success of provincial teams.

Just last weekend, coaches John Braaten and Don Hass took on the task of coaching Team BC at the under-12 Continental Amateur Baseball Association World Series in Sylvania, Ohio. Team BC, featuring Richmond’s Devin Patterson, won the tournament by defeating Wisconsin Rivercats (an academy team) 11-3 in the championship game.

Team BC had completed round-robin play 4-0 and was also undefeated in

the medal round (4-0).

“From a league perspective, everyone at Richmond City Baseball is extremely proud of the leadership displayed by our two coaches and the performance of Devin,” said association president Trevor Rennie. “It was an amazing result in an ultra-competitive championship and shows how talented and athletic the kids in our province are and also how educated our coaches have become in baseball.”

Eleven teams participated in the World Series, and Braaten said the individual experience gained from the selection process of 116 candidates to 15 players as Team BC “tested the individual compete level and forced a team to come together quick-

Runners need plenty of protection from potentially harmful rays all the makings of a typical summer scorcher.

There was still time for a one-hour run before the approaching heat wave settled in—or was there?

A quick check of the UV index for the day revealed a 7 level (or high) in Vancouver, to go with 25˚C morning temperature.

According to the Canadian Dermatology Association, Environment Canada’s UV index is a measure of the intensity of the sun’s burning UV rays—the higher the number, the stronger the sun’s rays.

The scale runs from 1-11 in Canada but may reach 14 or higher in the southern United

States and tropics. The daily UV index forecast is a prediction for the maximum UV strength for the day. The peak is usually reached in the early afternoon. Your sources include local TV and radio stations and the Environment Canada web site.

As an avid runner I must confess to not wearing sunscreen in the past on those hot summer days because it irritated my eyes. Back in days of my invulnerable youth, my knowledge of skin cancer was primarily the belief that I won’t get skin cancer.

It was a disease for “seniors” and I needn’t be concerned. I was going to obtain that bronzed, “coppertone” tan and

be the envy of all my peers; fortunately, the aging process brought with it a new perspective on mortality and I learned of the dangers before it was too late.

In a recent phone interview with Dr. Jason Rivers, clinical professor of dermatology at the University of B.C. and physician at Pacific Dermaesthetics, he offered some tips on what people can do to prevent skin cancer and sun damaged skin.

“The runner should not run during solar hours: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., which is the most heated part of the day,” Dr. Rivers, also an avid runner, recommended.

He suggested sunglasses, a cap, sun pro-

tective clothing and the appropriate sunscreen for your skin type.

Runners should cover up as much as possible from the sun’s UVA and UVB rays which still are dangerous even on not so hot days, Dr. Rivers acknowledges. “ Runners can apply chapstick to the forehead and this prevents the sunscreen and sweat dripping into the eyes,” Dr. Rivers said. “It is best to find a sunscreen that is sweat or water resistant. Sunscreen should have at least 30SPF and look for the UVA/UVB seal on the packaging and if not, make sure it is recognized by the Canadian Dermatology Association.”

Health Canada reports skin cancer is the most common of all cancer types. It accounts for an estimated one third of all new cases of cancer in Canada and its incidence rate continues to rise. In 2008, approximately one in 425 Canadians is expected to develop some form of skin cancer, while 910 may die from melanoma. Dr. Rivers notes, “People don’t think it will happen to them.” He mentions, “Tanning beds are a huge problem, especially with teenage girls.”

Kathrine Switzer- running pioneer and author of Marathon Woman gave her thoughts on the importance of sunscreen.

“I wear sunscreen, but

only on my lower face, neck, ears and exposed chest, because I always wear a hat and big sunglasses. I am careful to run in the shade, I run almost always in woodsy areas.”

Just a few reminders to make your run more comfortable and your skin safer: •Sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB are best to protect your eyes.

•Hats help protect against the sun and can help keep you cooler.

•Wear sun protective clothing.

DERKSEN Rosalind “Linda” Sept. 28, 1939-July 28, 2012

So sadly and suddenly, our beloved Mother, Oma, Sister and Friend, succumbed to cancer and entered into the glory of heaven where “God will wipe away every tear from their eyes and death shall be no more, neither shall there be sorrow or mourning nor grief nor pain any more.” Predeceased by her husband of 43 years Henry in 2002 and precious eldest son James in 1998, she is survived by her devoted sons and daughtersin-law, Jeffrey (LaDonna), Brian (Rosalind) and cherished grandchildren, Steven, Bria, Allison and Danae.

A memorial service will be held in her honour at 1:00 pm, Wednesday, August 8th, at South Delta Baptist Church, 1988 56th Street, Tsawwassen, BC. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online obituary at: www.myalternatives.ca
