Miracle dog is back with its owners German shepherd was rescued from Fraser River

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

Martin van den Hemel photo Bill Chu, founder of Canadians for Reconciliation, questioned why the Bank of Canada would ‘erase any people of colour’ in the early design stages for the new plastic $100 bill.

Removing Asian features from $100 bill is like erasing group’s contributions to Canada

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter The Bank of Canada’s decision to remove the Asian features of a woman depicted working behind a microscope in the new $100 Canadian bill is akin to erasing the contributions South Asians have made to Canadian history, according to Chinese-Canadian community activist Bill Chu. “How can they wilfully erase any people of colour?” said Chu, founder of Canadians for Reconciliation, a group that demanded government “officially

acknowledge” the histories and contributions of Chinese and First Nations in B.C. “I think it rings the death knell for multiculturalism,” he said. “I suppose it’s a reminder for all good Canadians to reflect on where we are as a country and where are we going with this.”

Last week, the Canadian Press revealed, following a freedom of information application, that the original depiction of the person behind the microscope on the new plastic polymer bank notes first released las November, showed an Asian-looking scientist manipulating a microscope. But after seeking input from focus groups,

who raised questions about depicting solely one cultural group and concerns about stereotyping Asians as strong in sciences, the Bank of Canada opted to make the person of a “neutral ethnicity.”

Chu questioned whether there’s such a thing as a “neutral ethnicity”—a term he’d never heard of before—and said that had the bill remained as originally designed, it would have accurately reflected the cultural diversity of Canada.

In a town like Richmond, more than half of the city is of Asian descent, he noted.

If Jack could only talk, imagine the stories he could tell.

Like how he wound up swimming for his life in the Middle Arm of the Fraser River on Friday morning, only to be spotted by eagle-eyed staff at the Skyline Marina, who rescued the exhausted white German shepherd in the nick of time.

Or recount where he ventured during his three-week jaunt after slipping through an open gate at his family home along Knight Street in Vancouver.

But Jack’s back at home and eating well, much to the delight of his owners, who came to claim him Monday after reading about his rescue online.

Richmond Animal Protection Society’s Shane Burnham said the owners came forward and it was readily apparent that they were Jack’s owners.

The staff at the animal society had temporarily named him Phelps, after U.S. superstar swimmer Michael Phelps, he of the 20-plus Olympic medals. An apt nickname, considerRichmond Animal Protection Society photo ing how his swim- Jack is back with his owners after being ming feat was quite rescued from the Fraser River. the spectacle.

Kara Frederick, assistant manager at the animal society, said it’s rare that an owner will come forward after an animal has been gone so long.

“He truly is a miracle for making it so long on his own,” she said.

“They seemed a little bit in shock,” Burnham said of the owners, a couple from Vancouver. “They were obviously quite happy.”

And Jack returned the love, showing his delight when he was reunited with his owners, one tail wag at a time.

Local blueberry growers seeing blue Greater competition, but blueberry producers eyeing record year

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter They’re featured prominently in a marketing campaign of a B.C. restaurant chain—and they come straight from a farm in East Richmond.

Picked from the fields at CanWest Farms, blueberries are piled high in crusts for White Spot diners, with no shortage of the fruit in sight.

“It’s a good year overall for blueberries,” said Humraj Kallu operations manager of CanWest Farms.

“There’s quite a bit of volume coming out of the bushes.”

A cool, wet spring and early summer that delayed the harvest had farmers worried, but they’re now anticipating the 2012 harvest to top last year’s record haul.

“It started out slow because of all the rain in the off-season,” said Kallu. “It picked up later on because of all the heat we got. So it actually turned into a pretty good crop this year.”

Blueberries are the third largest crop in Richmond, behind cranber-

CanWest Farms operates the Farmers Market at Sidaway and Blundell roads, selling fresh and frozen berries, along with homemade frozen blueberry pies.

The B.C. Blueberry Council, which represents the entire industry of 800 growers, estimates the provincewide harvest to be as high as 47.6 million kilograms thanks to hot weather that has persisted since mid-July.

Debbie Etsell, executive director of the council, said growers throughout southwest B.C. are expecting record volumes this year.

“Some of them are dealing with heat issues, which can cause berries to soften, but most of them are using crop management practices... to ensure that the quality of berries

New documentary series shows YVR behind the scenes

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A new half-hour documentary series that will debut on the National Geographic Channel early next month will give viewers a rare behind-thescenes look at the work done by Canada Border Services at places like Vancouver International Airport.

Border Security: Canada's Front Line premieres on Thursday, Sept. 6 at 10 p.m. with back-to-back episodes.

The show focuses on the work done by border services officers who must be able to distinguish between confused visitors and phony immigrants, Canadian citizens and international drug smugglers.

Andrew Poon, publicist for the show, said the airport is among the locations that will be regularly featured in the show, which in its first season includes 13 episodes.

“They have an enormous responsibility,” said Rob Bromley, executive producer of Force Four Entertainment, a Vancouver-based television production company that has produced more than 300 hours of primetime broadcast programming, and has won 10 Gemini Awards and the prestigious Peabody Award.

“The CBSA officers rely on technology and instincts to uncover the truth. Viewers witness real-life situations that are tense, dramatic and at times even bizarre. And of course sometimes they’re just legitimate travellers who have had something unfortunate in their story that triggers the officers’ interest or requires their assistance. It’s the investigation that's so compelling.”

harvested stays high,” said Etsell.

Like farmers of other produce in B.C., blueberry growers face rising competition from U.S. growers boasting lower prices. While CanWest has found markets for its product out east and in Japan and Hong Kong, smaller growers in Richmond who rely on fresh sales are facing increasing competition within their backyard.

George Sidhu of G.S. Farms at 11400 No. 4 Rd. said despite this year’s good crop, he’s noticed fewer customers flocking to his produce stand and U-pick field.

“Last year we had lots and lots of people, especially during the weekend... But I noticed there are so many new blueberry farms in the Ladner, Delta area that used to be (growing) potatoes and corn,” he

Lecture series staged ahead of U.S. vote Rabbi to talk election issues in six-part series focused on presidential election

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A war of words is underway for the world’s biggest political seat, opening the door to a lecture series at a local Jewish community centre.

Rabbi Yechiel Baitelman will lead a six-part election series at Chabad of Richmond, covering topics bound to generate debate in the lead-up to the Nov. 6 U.S. presidential election.

“This is an opportunity to talk about these issues as they are raised in the media and often when these subjects are raised in the public, this is when people’s interest in the subject is heightened,” said Baitelman.

The series begins Wednesday, Aug. 29 with the lecture “The One Per Cent and Redistribution of Wealth.” Using Torah sources, Baitelman promises an unbiased, non-partisan series allowing participants to make their own decisions on topical issues.

“This is not about the election per se, it’s more about questions that are on people’s minds, because they are raised at this point.”

U.S. voters will go to the polls Nov. 6 to elect their president and vice-president. Incumbent President Barack Obama, running for a second term, is being challenged by Republican Mitt

Presidential prediction •Richmond fortune teller Sherman Tai forecasted the outcome of the upcoming U.S. presidential election during his 23rd annual Chinese New Year predictions in January.

“President Obama faces a very difficult challenge with the recession. He is in a position where even though he may have talent, he doesn’t have much to work with, much like a chef without proper ingredients.

“His popularity will greatly decline in the summer and he may makes mistakes that are difficult to get out of. If there is an upcoming election in 2012, President Obama will lose by a wide margin.”

Romney.

While the lectures will be given from a Jewish perspective, classes are open to all. Baitelman said the series isn’t an attempt to convince people to follow Jewish law, but rather offer attendees a chance to hear what it says about the subjects.

Other upcoming lectures in the series: “Funding Social Services” on Sept. 5; “Taxation with Representation” on Sept. 12; “Health Care” on Sept. 19; “Campaign Finance” on Oct. 17; and “The Immigration Debate” on Oct. 24.

All are welcome to attend. Lectures begin at 7:30 p.m. at Chabad of Richmond (200-4775 Blundell Rd.). Tickets are $10 per lecture or $50 for the series. To reserve, call 604-277-6427 or visit chabadrichmond.com/jli.

said. “Eventually it’s going to effect everybody I guess.”

Sidhu estimated he’ll be selling blueberries at his farm for another two weeks.

Approximately half of the B.C. blueberry crop is sold fresh— both domestically and in foreign markets—while the other half is processed, according to the B.C. Blueberry Council.

Bank of Canada apology is appreciated From Page 1 Chu said it’s ironic that Canada’s leadership and politicians are vying for financial investment from Asian countries, yet they don’t want those same faces to appear on their currency.

Richmond schools trustee Kenny Chiu said he appreciated the apology Mark Carney issued on Monday over the $100 bill’s design.

“I think the original design would be fine,” he said. “Asian, Latino, black, white, they all reflect today’s Canada.”

The Bank of Canada’s leadership tried to portray the Canada that is in people’s minds, instead of the reality of Canada.

“It’s projecting an image that’s just not true, and I think that’s where the problem is.”

Chiu, who works in the software business, said there’s a high percentage of Asians and Orientals who work in the field. That’s not racism, he said. It’s a fact.

The problem began for the Bank of Canada when it decided to change the design, he said.

Richmond MP Alice Wong said that “as a Canadian of Chinese origin” and as the former minister of state for multiculturalism, she’s “very sensitive” to anything regarding multiculturalism.

But she noted that Mark Carney issued an apology on Monday and has promised a review of the design process.

“I hope that this apology will ease those who are offended,” Wong said.

Asked if she’d be proud if a Canadian of Chinese descent was portrayed on Canada’s currency, Wong said she’d be proud of any faces portraying the true picture of Canada.

City Board Crosswalk construction at Garden City Road and Granville Avenue August 20 to September 14, 2012

RCMP Const. Paul Cheema and Const. Jay Thandi are part of a new patrol aimed at accessing parts of the city, like off-road bike trails, the dikes and the sandy areas of Garry Point Park, that can’t be easily monitored by police in their cruisers.

The City of Richmond has contracted Performance Contracting Ltd. to carry out the construction of a crosswalk at the intersection of Garden City Road and Granville Avenue.

Hours of work are scheduled from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday from August 20 to September 14, 2012.

you’re a damsel in distress or a bandit bent on crime, they’ll do more than adequately.

Richmond Mounties are now launching a new patrol in areas of Richmond previously inaccessible to RCMP officers in their cruisers, bringing peace of mind to law-abiding residents.

“The detachment is always looking at new innovative ways to be proactive in police patrols and the use of the ATVs allows trained operator officers to access areas where a cruiser could not normally reach,” said RCMP Sgt. Cam Kowalski. “This new initiative combined with marine patrols, bike patrols and foot patrols provide the community with the patrol diversification that is required given the local terrain.”

Const. Paul Cheema and Const. Jay Thandi are part of the new patrol, and it’s not just bad guys they look out for.

During one patrol near Triangle Road, they encountered a woman who was in need of help after her vehicle got stuck in the sand. It was getting stuck,

and that area would have been unreachable through conventional means. Fortunately for her, they were there, and contacted a tow truck firm to help her out.

And when they’re doing their thing, it’s not unusual for Cheema and Thandi to get a surprised look and a thumbs up from joggers and other trail users.

The vehicles have an impressive range, enabling the officers to patrol wide stretches of the city.

From checking for fishing licences to enforcing fire bylaws to pulling over drivers chatting on their cell phones while behind the wheel, the four-wheeled quad vehicles give the operators plenty of flexibility.

Cheema said the vehicles give the police the “surprise” factor, since they give them access to bike trails and other off-road areas where police usually don’t go.

And that means for people doing drugs, or those who take part in underage drinking and partying in remote parts of the city, they’re no longer beyond the reach of the RCMP.

River Green development now heading east Massive residential community preparing to build east of Olympic Oval

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter The developer of the largest residential project in Richmond’s history is preparing to build its first high-rise tower east of Richmond Olympic Oval.

ASPAC Developments’ Oval 8 Holdings Ltd. is seeking the endorsement of city hall’s development permit panel today to build two residential high-rise towers and a series of townhouses that will contain 268 homes.

Another 27,249 square feet of street-level commercial space is planned.

“It will contribute to the revitalization of the waterfront and set the standards for residential developments in the Oval Village neighbourhood waterfront lands...” said senior planner Francisco Molina in

a report.

Homes will range in size from 540 square feet for one-bedroom units to 1990 square feet for three-bedroomplus-den units, according to Molina’s report.

The now-vacant site is already zoned for the high-density development.

The site’s address is 6622 Pearson Way, which is a new road planned for the area.

The project is part of ASPAC’s 11.3-hectare (28-acre) River Green development, a luxury condominium community surrounding the oval and fronting the Fraser River’s Middle Arm. High-rise development west of the oval is well underway.

If the development permit panel approves of the project, city council will then have a final vote before a permit is issued.

Other recent development activity in the area includes Ora, a trio of high-rises being built by Onni at 6951 Elmbridge Way, containing 324 homes over ground-floor retail.

Also, at 5440 Hollybridge Way, another three towers are planned on a site now occupied by a tenanted warehouse complex.

Steveston Dragon Boat Festival returns on Saturday Dragon boats will be racing along the South Arm of the Fraser River this Saturday at the third annual Steveston Dragon Boat Festival.

More than 60 teams are expected to compete in 200- and 500-metre races, including those from all competition levels from novice to competitive. Individuals may also register to join a team for a day.

Last year, the Starbucks Waverunners Sumatra took the best time for the 200-metre race at one minute, 2.070 seconds and Team Lifescan took the 500-metre at 2:07.400.

This year’s teams will try to beat those times in their D2 dragon boats.

Dragon boating is the fastest growing water sport in North America, according to Ann Phelps, the festival’s organizer.

She says the significance of dragon boating lies in its inclusivity and motivation for team-building.

“It can be very competitive but it’s also completely inclusive to size and athletic ability,” she says. “The pad-

dlers just have to learn to paddle in unison.”

While cheering on their favourite teams, guests will also have the opportunity to learn to row a dragon boat and are encouraged to try out the sport with their family and friends.

The festival will be filled with activities for the whole family, including kid’s arts and crafts, food and vendor booths, and entertainment shows on the main stage.

The festival takes place Saturday, Aug. 25 at Britannia Heritage Shipyard. Race registration begins at 7:30 a.m. and racing takes place from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. An arts and crafts tent for children opens at 10 a.m. and the main stage entertainment begins at 11 a.m.

The event is free, but cash and nonperishable food donations are welcomed by the Richmond Food Bank.

For more information, and to register for the Dragon Boat Race, visit www. stevestondragonboatfestival.ca.

EDITORIAL: ICBC has been completely mishandled The BC Liberals have completely mishandled ICBC, and the proof came on Thursday, when a review showed that the company has been hiring boatloads of senior managers and paying them more each year — with the government apparently oblivious to this fact.

There are 32 per cent more managers than in 2007, and they are paid (as a group) 70 per cent more than managers received in 2007. Fifty-four of them made more than $200,000 each in 2011.

The Liberals insisted, on taking office in 2001, that ICBC didn’t need to be

privatized, nor did there need to be complete competition in the auto insurance sector. They merged ICBC operations with the motor vehicle branch, and had ICBC contribute to policing initiatives, and thus thoroughly muddled it with legitimate government activities. This has made it very difficult to unwind ICBC, the insurance company, from ICBC, the public policy arm.

They have also insisted, especially in recent years, that substantial dividends from ICBC go back to the shareholder — the government. This means that all ICBC customers, and that’s

everyone who owns a vehicle, are paying additional insurance premiums to boost government revenues. This is not a commercial transaction — it’s a tax grab, hidden in the guise of insurance costs.

The government has now, very belatedly, said ICBC needs to cut its management costs and manager compensation. This comes just after ICBC has boosted insurance rates by 11.2 per cent.

The simple fact is this: ICBC is being used by government for all sorts of purposes that are far afield from its ostensible role as a public car insurance

company. This isn’t new — the NDP did this with ICBC back in its earliest days. But it certainly points out that the Liberals are just as good as the NDP at mismanaging Crown corporations and sticking taxpayers with extra costs.

ICBC needs to be privatized. This of course won’t happen under a new NDP government, nor under a re-elected Liberal government. ICBC is a sacred cow.

There is no real need to have government operate a car insurance company that forces all drivers to buy at least basic car insurance. Competition is allowed for what the govern-

ment considers “optional” coverage, such as collision or comprehensive.

If there was true competition in all aspects of car insurance, most good drivers would see their premiums reduced. They most certainly would not be paying an additional amount to the insurance company which ends up in government coffers.

ICBC has been mismanaged by both the NDP and the Liberals. It should be sold off, but that won’t happen any time soon.

Drivers will just keep paying more than they should for car insurance.

T

his is about banning shark fins in Richmond and Vancouver in conjunction with other municipalities.

First, let’s clear up one point. “I don’t respect Anthony Marr because he is not Chinese enough,” I’ve heard, when I was born in China and raised in Hong Kong till age 20. So it begs the question: How much respect do they have for someone who is not Chinese at all?

A certain shark-fin-soupserving restaurateur, one Mr. Chung, said, “Shark fin soup is a tradition that we don’t want to break.

It’s something we treasure.” Speak for yourself.

A recent poll shows that almost 70 per cent of Chinese San Franciscans support their ban. By the way, using ivory, tiger bone, bear bile and rhino horn used to be a Chinese tradition.

He casually dismisses the cruelty of cutting the fins off live sharks and

dumping the rest of their bodies back into the ocean to die slow and agonizing deaths.

Mr. Chung adds, “Chinese people have become part of the food chain, keeping shark populations in check,” saying that if there are fewer sharks, there’d be more fish for humans. This two-tier system of his betrays his out-of-depth-ness in marine ecology. There are 6-7 trophic levels of predators and prey in the ocean. I’ll simplify it for him to just 3: big fish (sharks), medium fish and small fish. Sharks prey on the medium fish only, which in turn prey on the small fish. If we wipe out the sharks, the medium fish would proliferate and eat up the small fish, causing the marine food pyramid to collapse.

Where does this leave Mr. Chung in the food chain?

“If we ban shark fins, we’d wipe out jobs for the shark finners.” I say: Serves them right, mostly of whom being just poachers anyway.

Chung chides Richmond city council for focusing on such a “small issue.” Driving endangered species to extinction and trashing our fragile planet is a small issue only to those who are ignorant and/or apathetic.

What is worse: ignorance or apathy? His answer would be: “I don’t know and I don’t care.” To him, when one species goes extinct, there’ll be other species to fin.

A full one-third of all

Richmond is considering the banning of shark fin soup.

shark species are endangered or threatened. A recent 14-city DNA-survey in the U.S. found that over 80 per cent of all random samples are from at risk species. I dare Mr. Chung to provide me with 10 random samples of shark fins from his restaurant for DNA analysis and await their arrival. But I’m not holding my breath.

Richmond Coun. Chak Au said that “education” has already reduced consumption to insignificance, so there is no need for a ban.

But then he also said, “A ban could prompt retailers to seek compensation for lost revenue.” Significant revenue, Mr. Au? Seven cities in Ontario, have banned shark fins outright. Every city in B.C. we have contacted so far have banned or expressed interest to ban. Richmond would look medieval if it stands alone to allow the trade. This would make the Chinese people look

downright primitive.

In fact, it would make Richmond in violation of all existing laws: CITES forbidding international trade of endangered species products; the UN forbidding shark finning specifically; Canada’s WAPPRIITA law forbidding endangered species trade within Canada, and the Fisheries Act forbidding shark-finning in Canadian waters.

Along with Mr. Au, a certain group, which openly opposed any outright ban last year, said that the city should consult the “stakeholders,” meaning people like Mr. Chung. What is there to consult? Whether they want shark fins to be ban or not? And if not, and Mr. Chung clearly does not, what then?

This group now says that it supports a ban, but that we should use “positive reinforcement” rather than “punishment”. By this it means to send wedding

couples foregoing shark fin soup in their banquets on week-long honeymoons in exotic places.

We find this insulting to the Chinese people, first for tempting them with material rewards when their true motive should be stewardship, and second for treating them like children rather than responsible adults. And how does this apply to law? That it should reward those merchants who abide, but leave those who don’t alone?

This group’s voluntary withdrawal approach, by its own admission, will take 5-10 years to take significant effect. Meanwhile 73 million sharks die horrible deaths every year.

With each giving birth to just 1-2 pups every couple of years, the sharks simply can’t wait that long.

Anthony Marr is with the Vancouver Animal Defense League.

Pre-K to Grade 12 Grammar

Alberta needs to ensure pipeline safety rather than share the wealth Editor: Re: “Alberta Premier lacks understanding of B.C.,” Editorial.

While I am not sure if Alison Redford understands the strength of B.C. opposition to the Northern Gateway pipeline for other reasons, it appears she is well within her rights to determine that B.C. will not “share the wealth” on the actual sale of oil.

Just as B.C. does not pay other provinces and territories for a portion of our “wealth” for goods shipped though B.C. ports, forest products and made-in-B.C. products shipped in various ways across the country, nor should Alberta be expected to share their oil income with those along the line.

It really doesn’t matter if the product is shipped by rail, truck, pipeline or camel train, the “wealth” or sale price is retained by the manufacturer/shipper.

The place Alberta does have a responsibility, along with the petroleum and pipeline companies involved, is in ensuring there are excellent measures in place to prevent spills and sufficient resources and expertise in B.C. to fully address the aftermath of any pipeline problem here.

There are many questions about the safety and benefits of this pipeline but the expectation that we British Columbians should “share” in Alberta oil profits because the product traverses our province is not one that deserves consideration.

Julie Halfnights Richmond

New port would be better for jet fuel pipeline Editor: The idea of having a port off the west side of Richmond was almost passed by Richmond council 100 years ago.

The engineers of the time figured out how this could be built. A small adoption of this plan would use less than one per cent of the land bank off our west side.

The advantage is a small unit would make it possible to pump jet fuel four miles to tanks on Sea Island rather than 16 miles through the city and would stop tanker use in the Fraser River.

There are always questions about fish, costs to the environment and additional uses.

However, a little Richmond history will not hurt.

Richmond 365 Lindsay Anderson Last week, there was a Japadog-eating contest at the airport. I had fully planned to go (as a viewer, not participant), but I got held up with the morningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s post and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it in time.

Ever since then, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been meaning to get to the Japadog stand at the airport because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never tried one of these infamous dogs with an international cult following. I mean, Anthony Bourdainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried them, and not me? This simply would not do.

So, if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run across one of their stands, you may be asking yourself what the heck is Japadog? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you.

Japadog began as a one modest hot dog street stand, and has grown into a small empire with multiple stands (one soon opening in Richmond!), a store in downtown Vancouver, and a newly-

opened store in New York. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their secret?

Instead of the usual ketchup, mustard, and relish, their hot dog toppings are Japanese; think teriyaki, nori, Japanese mayo, daikon, bonito ďŹ&#x201A;akes and even soba noodles. These all rest atop beef, pork, turkey, or veggie dogs, stuffed into a classic white bun.

Brilliant? Many think so.

Just an over-priced hot dog with some seaweed on top? Others think so, too. Still a must-try?

Absolutely.

Since it was already on my list, I was overjoyed to stumble upon a Japadog cart Sunday, in the most unlikely of placesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Sharing Farm! I was at Terra Nova Park for the farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth Annual Garlic Fest, and Japadog was one of the vendors.

It was tough to decide which ďŹ&#x201A;avour to choose â&#x20AC;&#x201D;should I go with the ever-popular signature Terimayo, with its teriyaki sauce, mayo, and seaweed? Or perhaps the Oroshi, with its freshly grated daikon?

Just as I was starting to get stressed over the choices, I spotted â&#x20AC;&#x153;three types of cheeseâ&#x20AC;? in the Spicy Cheese Terimayo, and it was decided. I would

Lindsay Anderson photo Japadog, with plenty of toppings.

have my hotdog ďŹ lled with cheese and topped with terimayo and seaweed (essentially itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the Terimayo Dog but with cheese, and therefore better). I placed my order, paid my $6.75 and waited in line to receive my dog.

Was it tasty? Yes. As healthy as I try to eat, as much as I try to avoid the over-processed, as mysterious as hot-dog meat is, I must say I DO LOVE A HOT DOG with plenty of toppings. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what Japadog gives you; it was cheesy as promised, mayo-y, the

strips of nori provided a very subtle sea-like ďŹ&#x201A;avour, and the sauerkraut I added on top gave a pickle-y crunch.

I imagine these would be especially good should you have happened to consume one too many beverages of a fermented nature the night before. But is it worth the whopping price tag? Probably not. Still, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always fun to try a cult classic, and part of the price tag pays for your spot within the cultural phenomenon that is Japadog.

Niyaz, Kirk help Team BC scoop up baseball silver

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Team BC, featuring Richmond’s Nawid Niyaz and Brandon Kirk, capped a stellar showing at the 2012 Canadi-

CASH DRAWS Draws of

an Midget AAA Baseball Championship in Quebec City, placing second to Alberta in the goldmedal final Sunday.

Winning pitcher Matt Lloyd fanned 10 B.C. batters in a completegame 4-1 victory which was highlighted by a three-RBI effort by Eduardo Sanchez on a third inning single.

Team B.C. (5-1 overall)

defeated Alberta (6-1) 5-4 in opening-day play Friday.

Team B.C. also defeated Prince Edward Island 2-0 and Nova Scotia 6-0 Saturday and edged host Quebec 4-3 (with Niyaz on the hill) Sunday morning.

Serj Sangara, also of Richmond, was the team manager/coach for Team BC.

Cambie Secondary, she took last season off to concentrate on her studies. The previous three years, May dressed for the Concordia Stingers of the RSEQ league.

May played 58 games in all for Concordia, scoring five goals and recording

two assists for a total of seven points.

“Natalie brings a wealth of experience to our team this year,” said University of B.C. assistant coach Kim Coates. “After playing at Concordia University, she understands how the balance of school and athletics goes to perform at an optimum level.”

May will continue her education in UBC’s School of Kinesiology.

Graduates reflect Sport for Life model Richmond Senior Soccer Association working on seemless transition from youth program

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Canadian Sport for Life is kicking into high gear across the country. But nowhere is the movement more pronounced than in Richmond, notably in the soccer community.

Designed to improve the quality of sport and physical activity for

participants of all ages, Canadian Sport for Life is being enthusiastically adopted by local soccer groups at all levels—from youth to senior.

The Graduates, set to debut in the Richmond Senior Soccer Association’s Second Division this coming season, are an example of what Richmond youth soccer chair

STEVESTON

Doug Long hopes could be a systemic shift from youth to adult soccer.

“It will take some time, but ideally there’ll be a team at every level (of adult soccer) so the players graduating from the different levels of youth will have (an appropriate place to continue to play),” he said. “Hopefully by doing that we

don’t lose players in the transition.”

While Long was instrumental in helping direct to the Graduates—a mix of Richmond youth soccer grads ranging in age from 18 to 23—to the Richmond Senior Soccer Association, he says the players themselves are looking after the day-today operations with the likes of Brett Livingstone, Michael Rubenstein and Mark Fletcher taking on the bulk of those duties.

ate as a 29-team loop for the 2012-13 season.

There are three divisions in the open age group— Premier (six teams), First (10 teams), and Second along with an independent Masters Division (five teams) for players over 35.

Building on its existing on-line presence is also a priority for the RSSA, said Valenzuela, helping members to more easily and efficiently manage schedules and statistics.

With the recent success (a third-place finish) of the Canadian women’s soccer team at the London Summer Olympics, and Vancouver hosting the World Cup in 2015, the creation of a female division in the RSSA is also a hot-button topic.

“We’re developing a strategy around how to do this and hope to be able to complete it within the next year,” said Valenzuela.

Sharing the Canadian Sport for Life vision, RSSA president Steve Valenzuela is adamant his league needs to work in unison with youth soccer and ensure the transition into adult soccer is an easy one.

“My hope is it can even become automatic,” said Valenzuela, who is particularly determined to help the “average” player stay active by making soccer their game of choice.

The first annual Discover Your Sport Day is set.

From noon to 4 p.m. Sunday at Minoru Park, many local sports groups will provide a free introduction to their sport—from baseball to football and cricket to gymnastics.

The day is being presented by Richmond Sports Council and supported by the City of Richmond and many of the 50 local sports organizations.

Vancouver Coastal Health is reminding all parents of children starting kindergarten this September to make sure that their vaccinations are up-to-date before schools open their doors.

Vancouver Coastal Health medical health officers advise that all children, ages 4 to 6, get the Tdap-IPV vaccine which protects against tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and polio. Children should also receive vaccinations against chicken pox (varicella).

“While most of these infections are now rare in BC because of routine childhood vaccination programs, the outbreak of whooping cough in Vancouver and the Fraser

Valley is a reminder that they are still around and can spread quickly among those who are unprotected,” said Dr. Meena Dawar, medical health officer for Vancouver Coastal Health.

“Vaccines are the best way to protect children against these serious and sometimes fatal diseases.”

The free shots can be obtained from family doctors or from public health nurses at Vancouver Coastal Health community health centres. An immunization visit is a great way to catch up on other shots that might have been missed as part of a child’s infant vaccination series.

Vaccines should be given at the appropriate age to best

reduce the spread of serious illnesses that can be fatal in children and babies.

“When I was a nurse at BC Children’s Hospital, I worked in the respiratory isolation area and saw many infants with pertussis and its devastating effects. Babies were struggling to breathe and so ill, all because of an infection that is preventable with vaccine,” said Nicole Lisle, a registered nurse and Vancouver Coastal Health Immunization and Communicable Disease co-ordinator. “I urge all parents to ensure their young children get vaccinated as recommended. When your child gets vaccinated, you help protect others as well.”

Wong tees it up at Open Richmond golfer Christine Wong is one of a select group of amateurs playing in this week’s CN Canadian Women’s Open on through Sunday at the Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam.

Wong, the current B.C. Women’s amateur champion, was recently granted a tournament exception to play in the Open, which features

48 of the top 50 players on the current LPGA Official Money List including defending champion Brittany Lincicome, world No. 1 Yani Tseng, Stacey Lewis, Michelle Wie, Suzann Pettersen and Paula Creamer.

Jisoo Keel of Coquitlam qualified for the Open by winning the Canadian Tour’s first event in May at Richmond Country Club.

Peewee Islanders third in the nation

Richmond’s Christine Wong is teeing it up in this week’s Canadian Women’s Open in Coquitlam.

Playing their best softball of the season, the Richmond Islanders 98 helped B.C. sweep the medals at the just-completed 2012 Canadian Peewee A girls’ championship in Brampton, Ont. Coached by Islander alumni Charmaine Lum and Briana Adams, with help from another former Islander teammate Jessica Mack, Richmond compiled a 5-1 win-loss record in round-robin play and won its first playoff game before

losing to eventual-champion White Rock Renegades 98 and ultimately settling into third place. Surrey Storm 98 finished second, giving B.C. teams the top three placings.

The third-place finish was an improvement on the fourthplace finish Richmond engineered at the provincials which the Islanders hosted last month. White Rock also defeated Surrey, 1-0, for first place in that event.

OF PET THE WEEK

Speedy is a very adorable baby Roborovski (Russian Dwarf) hamster. His care and behaviour differs from that of a Syrian (Teddy Bear) hamster, so it is recommended that research be done before committing to adopting him. “Robos,” as they are affectionately called, need to burrow, chew, and hide. They should also have fresh fruits and veggies available, in addition to their regular seeds. An aquarium would make a safe, escape-proof habitat, as cages with bars are no match for these teeny rodents!

Unlike Syrian hamsters, Robos can live with other dwarf hamsters, so if you are looking for a buddy, perhaps Speedy would learn to have a new friend! He is a bit shy, and very, very fast, so a parent would be best to handle him until he is used to his new “people”.

As hamsters are nocturnal creatures, Speedy should be kept in a quiet room where his slumber will not be disturbed during the day.

FESTIVAL SQUARE A NEIGHBOURHOOD SHOWCASE A great place to relax and unwind while enjoying thousands of exhilarating musicians, dynamic dancers and special guests from across BC.

LEFT: Tiger An and Jessie Bai. ABOVE: Gwen Davidson and Irene Smith.

A great day for garlic lovers ment at the fourth annual Garlic Festival at The Sharing Farm last Sunday.

Around Town Amanda Oye

M

ore than 2,000 garlic lovers delighted in great food and entertain-

“People stuck around for hours … it’s a great place to hang out,” said Emily Pearson, the volunteer and event coordinator at The Sharing Farm.

“We were really thrilled.”

The farm sold more htan 500 pounds of the various types of garlic that they grow, including Italian softneck garlic,

which they had beautifully braided.

Guests enjoyed garlic ice cream, bread made in the farm’s cob-oven, and snacks from food vendors, including Japadog.

A workshop on how to grow garlic was a popular part of the festival, as was the kids zone.

“The kids made some garlic crowns, which was really cute,” said Pearson.

Throughout the day there was live music by six bands, farm tours and tents set up by commu-

nity groups with information and activities.

The festival was put on “to increase people’s awareness of The Sharing Farm and our work,” according to Pearson.

The money made at the festival will go towards The Sharing Farm, which grows food for those in the community in need.

The farm’s next event will be Applepalooza on Oct. 14.
