of Wakayama, Japan, who held the highest degree in karate, urged for karate to be offered at the martial arts centre, and wrote a letter to then Richmond Mayor Henry Anderson making this request. At the time, only keno and judo were being taught there.

Wakayama and Richmond had just launched its sister-city relationship, and that request was one of the first exchanges between the two leaders, Kojima says.

And so in 1973, karate was intro-

duced at the centre, thanks to the generosity of those from the kendo and judo communities who fundraised for the building.

Today, there are examples of three generations of members at the judo club.

And with five original members still active, Kojima wonders if there’s anything else quite like it in Canada.

The club has a rich winning tradition, which started in those early days.

In celebration of the club’s 60th anniversary, nearly three dozen people recently travelled to Japan for 12 days, including Kojima along with other veteran members, students, coaches and parents, who fundraised for the past four years through hotdog sales, and bottle and can drives.

And by his rough calculations, more than 6,000 members have participated over the years.

“Steveston was a lot different back then,” says Ed, who with his wife Marianne and 13-year-old daughter Sydney, still celebrates special occasions and milestones at the restaurant. “I can still picture as an 11-year-old always loving the dessert trolley.”

Kudos goes to interior designer, Michelle Hermans (Michellehermansdesign.com), for capturing the essence of the eatery and of Steveston. ,“Michelle was somehow able to convey the spirit and feeling of Steveston and translate it into a modern material expression,” says Shane, who also credits his wife Jaymie for her countless hours working behind the scenes in the restaurant to ensure both customers and staff are happy.

In addition, Shane attributes much of the restaurant’s success to the great team, both in the kitchen and on the floor, who make each and every customer’s visit a memorable one.

If that’s indeed the case, then the local club has created thousands of good citizens since first opening its doors in 1953.

The judo club is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, and Kojima and four others were among the 80 original students when the club was founded by Tom Doi, Seiichi Hamanishi, Takeo Kawasaki, Kunji Kuramoto, Yukio Mizuguchi, Frank Sakai, Kanezo Tokai, Soichi Uyeyama, Harry Kuramoto and Lanky Mizuguchi.

Kojima, Art Nishi, Martin Kuramoto, Isao Kuramoto and Hap Hirata were the first Japanese judokas to be trained in the art of judo in Steveston.

Kojima recalls those humble days in the 1950s, when members utilized the materials at hand to fabricate their outfits. 100 pound rice sacks were made into pants, and canvas was used for their tops.

Sawdust from the Eburne saw mill in Vancouver—normally reserved for home heating—was used on the floors, as were tatami straw mats.

“We made do by improvising. We had no money and there was no waste.”

Kojima said the philosophy of respect for others has always been at the forefront of judo instruction.

“I think we’ve been able to accomplish that,” he says of continuing to teach that lesson.

Indeed, like other sports, judo The City of Richmond’s Move for Health Week initiative is presented by Shaw Communications, with support from BC Recreation and Parks Association (BCRPA) and Healthy Families BC and with the Richmond Review as a media partner.

One customer who has been frequenting the Steveston Seafood House since its inception is longtime Richmond resident, Ed Dowling. He vividly remembers as an 11-year-old getting dressed up and heading with his family for dinner at the “new” Steveston Seafood House.

“We are asking people to submit their favourite Steveston Seafood House stories and/or photos for a chance to win a chef’s dinner for 10,” says Shane (see the website for details). It’s estimated that since this historic eatery opened its doors, more than one million meals have been served and enjoyed.

Recently, the award-winning restaurant received a facelift. The renovation included interior improvements such as a fresh coat of paint, new chairs and linen, two wall-mounted eight-foot long modern fireplaces, art work and stunning contemporary chandeliers and light fixtures.

Few, however, have become proud landmarks like the Steveston Seafood House. Delicious locally sourced seafood, excellent service and great ambience are part of the draw for thousands of locals and visitors annually. The restaurant is recognized as one of best fine dining restaurants in the village, offering a wide assortment of Ocean Wise seafood and west coast cuisine in an intimate setting, just minutes away from the waterfront.

As might have been expected, its location near the Fraser River and the quaintness of the village brought with it a boom, and, with it, saw the opening of many restaurants over the last few decades.

“We have decided to do away with the thick cream sauces and heavily seasoned vegetables and instead focus on the natural taste of the items themselves,” says Shane. You would do yourself a disservice not to have someone at your table order the Smoked Alaskan Black Cod or the Qualicum Bay Seared Scallops, both which promise to tantalize all of your senses and guaranteed to be some of the best seafood dishes you will ever find.

Five originals celebrate judo club’s 60th year

•

Its property had a long history of successful business dating back to the mid-1940s. The structure was originally built as a variety shop, where children eagerly bought penny candy and bubblegum, and was later converted into the Steveston Equipment Store. For a few years in the early seventies the building stood vacant until it started its new life as the Steveston Seafood House.

“We are blessed to be living in the Pacific Northwest with an abundance of fresh food,” says Shane. “There’s just such a wonderful selection of seafood, meat, grains, produce and fruit to choose from, there’s little reason to go outside of B.C.” This spring, the menu will be heavy on locally sourced spot prawns, halibut and wild salmon served simply.

Economy rises to top for Steveston candidates ‘We don’t need more ideas from old people,’ says new challenger

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Young people hold the solution to a sluggish economy, a candidate running in Richmond-Steveston told a business crowd Wednesday.

“We need to listen to people who are young and ask them and get their ideas. We don’t need more ideas from old people with grey hair,” said Mike Donovan, addressing a Canada Asia Pacific Business Association forum moderated by the grey-haired Thomas Wu. Donovan represents the Unparty, which he founded with his wife and Richmond Centre candidate Chanel Donovan.

His party takes no positions on issues, only advocates for local assemblies aimed at consensus decision-making.

John Yap, the Liberal incumbent in the riding, had a different view, telling a lunchtime crowd at Shiang Garden Restaurant that confidence is necessary for economic growth.

“The way you do that is by ensuring that business feels it’s welcome,” he said, adding that takes consistent, competitive policies and a low-tax environment. “You contrast that to what we hear from Adrian Dix and the NDP when they talk one time about having principles about Kinder

Morgan [pipeline expansion] and then changing their minds. This is not how you build confidence.”

Yap’s NDP opponent, Scott Stewart, said market growth requires a stable environ-

ment and a budget “that we can believe in.”

“We need the people, business, to have confidence. We made out our financial plan well before the remainder of our platform,” he said. “There

will be no surprises under an NDP government. Our tax plan has been announced. It will be stable. We will create jobs by creating a skills training program that’s workable that will help our youth get

the skills they need for the future to work in the businesses to provide a stable economy.”

Richmond-Steveston’s B.C. Conservative challenger, Carol Day, said the Liberals have brought in four straight bud-

get deficits, adding the NDP aims to raise taxes. Day said her party will spend smarter.

Said Day: “Only the BC Conservatives are 100 per cent behind the business community.”

Unions ‘depleting our treasury,’ charges business group ‘We need stable agreements and to honour those agreements,’ counters NDP candidate

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Unions came under attack at a lunchtime election forum Wednesday, as candidates were asked what they’d do to limit powers of unions and their “over-zealous demands.”

Hosted by the Richmond-based Canada Asia Pacific Business Association, a Shiang Garden Restaurant crowd of 150 heard B.C.’s unionized workforce “pretty much controls a large percentage of our day-to-day essential needs.”

“Over the past decade, these forces were always on the news, striking or walked off from their jobs demanding more money,”said moderator Thomas Wu, in a preamble to one of the association’s three prepared questions for candidates. “With the slowdown (in the) economy and government incomes shrunken, the amount of money in the treasury is smaller, yet these forces still do their round of strikes year in year out, depleting our treasury more and more.”

Richmond-Steveston NDP candidate Scott Stewart wondered aloud why the question was asked. He noted approximately 30 per

cent of the workforce in B.C. is unionized— fifth in Canada—and said businesses know that agreements with workers must be honoured.

“We need to reach stable agreements with the workers, we need to keep them on the job and we need to honour those agreements,” said Stewart, among 10 of 19 candidates who attended the event. “Just like in business, when you reach an agreement you must honour that agreement. That’s a stable platform.”

The Canada Asia Pacific Business Association formed in 1993. Its mandate, according to the association’s website, is to develop bilateral trade and commerce between Canada and the Asia Pacific region.

Linda Reid, the Liberal incumbent in Richmond East, said in her eight years at the cabinet table, the government successfully negotiated hundreds of contracts without disruption.

“It’s balance in terms of how you achieve the services that British Columbians have come to rely on—and I spent years as a teacher. There was more labour disruption under a New Democratic government than ever under a Liberal government in the province of British Columbia.”

Fellow Liberal incumbent John Yap, running against Stewart in Richmond-Steveston, added that if the NDP forms government, they’ll “make it easier for unions to become organized by taking away the secret ballot.”

“It’s important to have balance, and right

now we have that with the union relations with business.”

While in government the Liberals made a secret ballot mandatory for employees during drives for union certification. NDP labour critic Shane Simpson has said his party is considering reversing that.

A recent news release from the Coalition of B.C. Businesses suggested most British Columbians don’t want changes to current employment policies promised by the NDP. Citing a survey of 600-person survey, coalition chair Mark von Schellwitz said in a news release: “This is a clear indication that the NDP’s labour platform is out of sync with the wishes of average British Columbians.”

The B.C. Federation of Labour, meanwhile, says current “loopholes” in labour laws have given “unscrupulous employers the ability to undermine the right of workers to belong to unions.”On its website, the federation says the Liberals have“steadily made labour laws unfair and unbalanced.”

B.C. Conservative candidate Carol Day, running in Richmond East, noted that her party has pledged to ban public donations from unions to electoral parties.

“That means unions can no longer buy elections, and I think that’s a critical thing,” she said.

The NDP has also promised to ban corporate and union political donations.

Voters go to the polls to elect a new provincial government May 14.

Project Emily appeals for help

STRONG ECONOMY SECURE TOMORROW

Video tells story of Emily de Boer and calls for help to rebuild Richmond family’s life

On May 14th Vote for

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Supporters of a massive volunteer effort to help rebuild the lives of a local family gathered at Steveston Community Centre Wednesday to mark another chapter of Project Emily.

Unveiled was a 15-minute video, created by Brock Newman and posted to YouTube Thursday, telling the story of Emily de Boer, a Lord Byng Elementary student whose life was unexpectedly turned upside down.

On Feb. 14, 2011 a surgical attempt to correct a spine curvature left Emily a paraplegic.

Brian Williams, owner of Ashton Service Group and the man behind Project Emily, appeals for support from the community in the video.

Williams is leading a team that’s building a new accessible home in Richmond for the de Boer family.

“With the support of local businesses and individuals we’re on the right path. I’m just here today to ask if you would be so kind to help us with some monetary donations in order to get this project completed and to get the family moved in for Christmas, which is our promise,”says

Williams.

The video tracks Emily’s 174 days in hospital, showing images of people who visited her during recovery, including Vancouver Canucks stars Daniel and Henrik Sedin and singersongwriter Andrew Allen.

Coaches and health care professionals also offer their thoughts on Emily, describing her as resilient, inspiring and beautiful. Volleyball coach Nav Badyal went further, describing her as a fighter.

Nurse Melissa Merrells said she watched cooking shows with Emily in hospital. Merrells even arranged to have quadriplegic chef Cory Parsons visit her.

“The nurses on the unit, because

we all knew she was such a strong competitor in hockey and soccer, that anything she would put her mind to, she would be able to get through it. We knew at the end she’d be able to conquer this, and she’s doing so well,” says Merrells.

Emily continues to inspire those around her—continuing to live her life and participating in sports and new activities. Meanwhile, construction of the de Boer family’s new house continues to progress. Last weekend, Williams’ team lifted Emily up to the second floor so she could see it for herself.

EDITORIAL: Separating the good candidates from the bad

C

andidates committed to connecting with voters this election campaign are knocking on doors. Lots of them.

And at the doorstep, it’s easy to sort out the candidates who are committed to their riding and those who are in the race just for a comfy chair in Victoria or helicopter rides to a cabinet table.

Simply put, good candidates know their riding.

Good candidates won’t tell you about the need to replace aging school infrastructure or that health care wait lists are unacceptable.

They won’t talk about the need for more rapid transit or debate the future of the carbon tax.

They also won’t speak of the need to boost our forestry and mining industries to ensure British Columbia continues to enjoy the confidence of investors.

All are important issues, sure. But let the leaders sort that out.

Voters who really care how many dollars will be invested in this program or that program are free

to study platforms of the parties, most of which lay this out on websites and campaign literature.

Besides, party leaders are trumpeting these facts throughout the campaign, which is dutifully followed by hordes of news media.

Local candidates who deserve support are ones who talk about Richmond-Steveston, Richmond Centre and Richmond East.

When asked about education on the doorstep, good candidates will talk about needed upgrades to James Gilmore Elementary. When asked about health care, they’ll talk about the need to expand Richmond Hospital.

When asked about transit, they’ll talk about a lack of bus service on River Road and Mitchell Island.

And when it comes to economic growth, good candidates will talk about how to lure more high-tech firms to a city with a record high office vacancy rate.

Some candidates running for election May 14 know their stuff because they care about their community. Others aren’t near as familiar with their potential

A

s you may recall, the Massey Tunnel liquefaction upgrade and the new Steveston Interchange were meant to happen long ago. The tunnel “replacement” project is a chance to get them done.

The project is also a chance to go back to the future. In 1955, ’91 and ’95, there were comparative studies of bridge and tunnel options for the South Arm highway crossing. For the first way to add to the crossing, all three studies

came to the same answer: add a two-lane “tube.” Still makes sense!

Note: The structure of the Massey Tunnel is an “immersed tube,” but it’s seen as a pair of two-lane tubes. The third two-lane tube would be a bit to the east but still in the Highway 99 corridor and conceptually “Massey Tunnel.” To keep it simple, let’s see the enhanced tunnel as MasseyPlus.

Let’s say it goes ahead.

It’s quick and smooth to add the third tube, which replaces the older tubes in turn while they’re refurbished. Within four years from start to finish, the six-lane MasseyPlus is serving well.

It’s seismically sound and excels in bad weather. It’s great for ecology, agriculture and appearance.

It limits traffic noise and greenhouse gas.

It also enables a flexible future. If need be, for instance, a fourth tube can be added later. As the 1955 study shows, being able to add like that can even save money.

That thorough study favoured circular tubes (see sketch). The rectangular structure we got is fine too, but the dug-out

This circular-tube tunnel design is from the 1955 study of options for the proposed highway crossing at Deas Island.

The diagram shows steel tube clad with reinforced concrete.

Jim Wright suggests that a current version might be good for MasseyPlus.

shore where its sections were made is now the BC Ferries upkeep cove. I’m told that shipbuiders’ drydocks can be used instead, at least with the circular design.

Fortunately, circular tubes withstand external force best, with good effects for strength and cost.

A current version of what’s shown might work for

MasseyPlus.

In any case, the Garden City Conservation Society board supports adding two lanes for better transit. The mode can be light rail, buses or HOVs (high-occupancy vehicles).

If it’s reliable, pleasant and economical to use, it will prosper.

In contrast to MasseyPlus, the slug’s-pace sce-

nario that caters to Port Metro Vancouver would demolish the tunnel after building a megabridge above it. And Mayor Malcolm Brodie has pegged the price at $3.3 billion or more.

High bridge clearance would combine with deepened channel to let big ships go east. But the tunnel isn’t the shallowest point in the channel, which would have to be deep the whole way to distant docks. Imagine the dredging!

As megabridge users, we’d be hit with endless tolls to fund the means to port sprawl, with total waste of Massey value.

And Port Metro would have more cause to buy up Agricultural Land Reserve farmland for its port land bank, as it did in Richmond with the fertile Gilmore Farm.

We’ve endured the tunnel non-action for too long. We don’t deserve zero-gain waste. We do deserve MasseyPlus.

Letter confuses insecurity with residents’ genuine concerns for their city Editor: Re: ”The sign language debate is a sign of fear,” Letters, April 19.

Letter-writer Raymond Lin seems very confused when comparing Canadian fears of foreign invasion to Chinese lack of fear of foreign invasion, as there is no invasion of China

by anybody. On the contrary millions are deserting the Chinese paradise, that Lin claims it to be, every year to seek a peaceful and less threatening life for themselves and their families.

Until Lin returns to this mainland China of very confident cultural people, who believe nothing or nobody can

change their way of life, his words will ring hollow.

It appears Lin needs a history lesson, in the 10 or 12 years prior to Britain’s handing over of Hong Kong to the Chinese government in 1997, hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong citizens fled their homeland in the

Richmond Hospital provides excellent care Editor: We are very fortunate in Richmond to have such a marvellous medical team to look after us. The ambulance service and Richmond Hospital work together so efficiently to provide caring and competent service.

Recently, I had a medical problem and cannot speak highly enough of the thoughtful care I was given; even

to have a follow-up call a day later to find our how I was doing. They also wanted to advise me that they had forwarded all the pertinent information to my family doctor.

Now that is outstanding care—above the call of duty! I was even home in time to see the hockey game.

We take comfort in the fact we are doing very many things right by how popular our country is to millions seeking a better life.

What Lin confuses as insecurity by us, is in fact a concern to what is happening to our beloved city. The

destruction of our neighborhoods, the outrageous prices of houses and condos, of which so many sit unoccupied, the city`s main road which is a nightmare to any motorist, and yes the creeping of Chinese only signs down this same main road.

The Van Hest Family sincerely thanks all of Roy’s family, friends, colleagues and customers for their love and care during this difficult time. Roy was a lucky man for having such wonderful people in his life. Over the past 14 months during his illness, Roy felt truly blessed in knowing you were all there for him and his family in so many ways, and that you were also there to support each other. He really did believe in Feeling the Love, his Celebration of Life was testament to that. Let’s spread joy in our lives as Roy always did.

Why come here?

From Page 7 We would like to feel welcome in every part of Richmond, but we see this situation developing into a city of two parts, Chinese and everybody else. Integration and not isolation is the desired outcome. There are immigrants who feel that it is a waste of time learning English when they can live their own culture, speak their own language, as though they never left the old country.

Which begs the question, “Why come here in the first place?”

N

DP leader Adrian Dix has finally rolled out his “fully costed” election platform.

Major policy announcements had been released previously, but there was more spending added to the total.

The NDP’s health care plan is surprisingly modest – more money for home support, residential senior care, mental health and addiction services and a rural acute care initiative totaling $159 million over three years.

As health critic Mike Farnworth points out, the residential care increase will allow seniors two baths a week instead of one. Full marks to the NDP for this part of the platform.

Increases to Community Living B.C., children and families programs and aboriginal friendship centres are also commendable.

Other NDP proposals don’t inspire as much confidence.

Raise welfare rates $20 a month and index them to inflation. Index the minimum wage to inflation too, at a time when inflation can only rise.

Set up a new child bonus program to send $70 per month for each child with family income under $25,000. Lesser payments would go to families with income up to $66,000.

This ’70s-style family allowance scheme is based on a “child poverty” claim that misrepresents federal statistics of relative income distribution. The program is optimistically budgeted at $210 million a year. Dix insists it isn’t a “big new social program,” which makes me wonder what would qualify.

From Page 9 The party totals up its new program spending to $988 million over three years. That’s exactly the amount Dix estimates will be raised by tax hikes on corporate income, bank capital, personal income over $150,000, carbon tax on oil and gas drilling, and cancelling the B.C. Liberals’ RESP and child tax credit plans.

As for deficits, the NDP claims that the B.C. Liberal budget hides a deficit of $800 million this year and similar deficits in the next two years. The B.C. Liberals point to an impressive string of “net zero” wage settlements with public sector unions, the core of their spending control record.

Would the NDP continue to hold the line on public service wages, as the B.C. Liberals have done?

After a few weeks of nausea, it came as a shock to Jean Rouday that she has a 4.5 cm malignant tumour in her stomach. Fortunately, she was able to get the care she needed close to home.

“When my husband, Mike, brought me to Richmond Hospital for my surgery, we made a pact. He had lost his first wife to cancer, and we weren’t going to let it happen again. We were determined to get through this together. Thanks to Dr. Sharadh Sampath, the Richmond Hospital staff, doctors, and donations from others like you, we made it through this life threatening challenge.”

Giving forward is more important now than ever before. Your gift to Richmond Hospital Foundation is critical to keep pace with modern technology and to help ensure timely and specialized medical services for local families in Richmond and the surrounding community.

And most importantly, every dollar raised stays in Richmond.

RichCity Idol set to return to Gateway

Matthew Hoekstra photo Sonali da Silva, a Matthew McNair student, sings Kelly Clarkson’s song “Beautiful Disaster” at last year’s RichCity Idol competition, earning her first place.

May 9 contest features guest Elaine Shepherd

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Ten young voices will compete for singing supremacy at Gateway Theatre May 9 in the annual RichCity Idol competition at Gateway Theatre.

Based on popular TV talent shows, RichCity Idol will feature one top singer from each public high school in the district—each selected through their school’s own singing competition.

Singers will deliver their best performances in front of a panel of judges before audience members cast votes and ultimately decide who will be crowned the RichCity Idol of 2013.

Juno Award-winning singer Elaine Shepherd, who won the inaugural contest in 2004, is returning to the show this year as a judge and guest performer. Also judging is radio personality Andrew Sosa and music producer Chris Washington.

Other guest performers include Jay Brian and Sonali da Silva, who won the contest last year.

This year’s competitors: Neil Legaspi (McRoberts), Merlyn Labovitch (McNair), Tim Lee (Steveston-London), Jasmine Bayani (Palmer), Robert De Guzman (Boyd), Kat Perez (McMath), Jenelle Pimentel (Burnett), Nicole Pimentel (MacNeill), Deepika Anupindi (Cambie) and Hannah Balba (Richmond).

RichCity Idol begins at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 9 on Gateway Theatre’s MainStage. General admission tickets are $12, available from finalists or the Gateway Box Office (gatewaytheatre.com and 604-270-1812) or $15 at the door.

Proceeds from this year’s show go to a scholarship endowment fund.

Making a career of Real Estate Sales years ago was a very positive move for me and my family. A decision that I have never looked back on. For many years now, my career has been accelerated because of my affiliation with the RE/MAX brand.

Not only do I benefit from the corporate awareness of the RE/MAX name, but more importantly, so do my clients. In 2012 RE/MAX will continue to make significant investments to ensure that my clients and I are associated with the best known name in the industry! I also happen to enjoy a great local office and a manager who continues to push me to think outside the box. Thank you, Richard and your support staff!

Richmond Hospital Foundation honours donors Richmond Hospital Foundation honoured some hospital helpers who have made a big difference in Richmond.

On Tuesday night at Gateway Theatre, groups or individuals that have cumulatively donated more than $50,000 to Richmond Hospital Foundation received Doctor of Philanthropy Awards. This year’s recipients were: •Transoft Solutions Inc. •Macquarie Group Foundation •London Drugs Foundation •WestJet Airlines Ltd. •Jean Mitchell •Terminal Forest Products Ltd. The recipient of the Milan and Maureen Ilich Philanthropic Award of Distinction was The James and Ann McPhail Family Foundation, which was honoured for its philanthropic leadership at Richmond Hosptital.

The award is named in honour of the late Milan Ilich, who was a Richmond developer and philanthropist, and his wife Maureen, who was on hand to present the award along with her daughter Laurie Cavanaugh and son-in-law Barry Cavanaugh. Earlier this year, it was announced that Richmond Hospital was renaming its Westminster Health Centre the Milan Ilich Pavilion in honour of Milan & Maureen Ilich Foundation’s long-time generosity to the hospital.

Karen Cotterill, Garry McPhail and Terry McPhail accepted the award on behalf of their parents.

The hospital foundation also announced the recipients of its PhD of Inspiration Awards, which is a new annual award presented to re-

cipients who have made lifetime donations in excess of $250,000.

This year’s recipients were: •Fairchild Media Group •Conway Richmond Ltd. •Variety - The Children’s Charity •Vancouver Airport Authority •Rotary Club of Richmond •AM1320 CHMB •Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation Canada •Barry and Laurie Cavanaugh •Mr. and Mrs. P.A. Woodward’s Foundation.

Also honoured were a pair of recently retired doctors: Dr. Jonathon Fenton and Dr. William Taylor. They received an Honorary Doctor of Philanthropy.

Mike Nader, chief operating officer for Richmond Hospital, gave the audience an update on Vancouver Coastal Health’s vision for the hospital. He spoke about replacing the north tower within five years, adding residential care beds and consolidating health services into a community health centre.

“I guarantee you that the value our health care professionals provide is not through bricks and mortar, but really through the passion and commitment that they provide. But this certainly helps us in assuring that residents receive the best care,” Nader said.

Donations to Richmond Hospital Foundation help fund major equipment purchases and improvements to Richmond Hospital.

s I prepare for a trip to Europe, I thought it might serve me well to read some travel memoirs and guidebooks, and I hit pay dirt with the first book I read.

Leave the Lipstick Take the Iguana edited by Marcy Gordon is a collection of short humorous travel stories covering the globe. The variety of

SENIOR DISCOUNT!

(age 60+)

stories covered everything from getting sick in Ghana and requiring surgery in a hospital that had no bandages, to getting hit on in Turkey by a taxi driver, to travelling with a precocious child, and everything in between.

By turns irreverent and more irreverent, my faves were “Easter Island and the Chilean with the Brazilian”, about a mother and her 7-year old son who are hiking up a volcano, only to encounter two ill-prepared and scantily dressed women from Chile. That’s all I’m saying because I don’t want to spoil the fun.

The funny essay called “Ciao Bella” is about a 50-year old American woman and her 24-year old daughter who travel to Italy expecting to be harassed by Italian men.

Steeling themselves for unwanted groping, sexual aggression and lewd comments, they prepared comeback lines for every eventuality, the funniest being “Sorry, we don’t date outside our

species.”What actually happens to them in Italy surprises both women.

In “Thunda Chicken Blong Jesus Christ”, a couple’s trip to Vanuatu in the South Pacific turns ugly when the local flies, who “approach cuts and scratches on human flesh with an all-you-can-eat buffet frenzy” feast on the husband’s cut foot. In “Packaged in Puerto”, four wild and crazy girlfriends travel to Puerto Vallarta only to discover the legendary Holy Grail – a swim-up bar. In “Turkish Foreplay” a 36-year old woman learns that sitting in the front seat alone with a taxi driver constitutes Turkish foreplay.

Since Rome will be one of our destinations, I checked out Walking Rome: The Best of the City

by Katie Parla. This little guidebook is filled with pictures, small maps and insider tips on what to see and where to go. It offered a refreshing break from the gargantuan Rick Steves’ Rome book, which is fantastic but a

bit overwhelming in its comprehensiveness.

Other cool travel-based books I stumbled on include: I Married a Travel Junkie by Samuel Jay Keyser, about a reluctant traveller and his fearless wife who travel the world; Sacred Travels: 275 Places to Find Joy, Seek Solace, and Learn to Live More Fully by Meera Lester, that includes loads of one-page entries about dozens of countries; and All Roads Lead to Austen: A Yearlong Journey with Jane by Amy Elizabeth Smith, that celebrates books and friendships.

While I never travel without at least six books in tow, it’s going to be difficult to choose this year.

Do I go deep or do I go shallow and entertaining?

I guess it all depends on what’s available in eBook format, because after all, it’s Have iPad will travel.

Ciao!

Over the next few months we will be pruning and removing trees in the West Richmond area.

Boundaries: North: Westminster Highway East: Gilbert Road South: Fraser River, South Arm West: Richmond Foreshore Trees are pruned using the best arboriculture (tree care) practices. Skilled workers employed by BC Hydro are trained in both electrical safety and tree care. Only correct and proper techniques are used to eliminate any safety hazards.

Can video games make you violent?

Gamers, counsellor debate whether there’s a link

by Andrew Hung Youth Reporter

I

n the past few years, the electronic gaming industry has come under heavy fire for its potential association with violent behaviour or actions.

It certainly seems natural, in light of the recent shootings, to assume that the sheer number of such acts is attributed to the popularity of violent electronic games.

Both the killers in the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting and the 2011 Norway attacks were reportedly obsessed with firstperson shooter games such as Call of Duty.

Yet does that mean that all shooting games have such a negative influence on its players?

Saxon Yeung, an R.A. McMath Secondary School student, believes that there is actually no correlation between the violence of these games and the violence in real life.

In an essay he wrote on the subject, Yeung, who plays games such as Call of Duty and Left 4 Dead 2, points out that many of the shooting games that are popular in North America are also played in foreign markets.

However, while mass shootings have been spotlighted in the United States for the past few years, such acts has decreased in those other countries, Japan and France in particular.

If these electronic games have an equal impact on all their gamers, theoretically the crime rate should increase in every region the games were played in.

“There is still no direct evidence that indicates the relationship between the violence in video games and the violence in real life,” he says.

“I think it is safe to assume that many young males have encountered and played violent video games. What makes the perpetrators (of the mass shootings) different from everyone else?”

In fact, in his essay, Yeung lists a number of benefits that one can receive from playing electronic games.

He contends they can improve hand-eye coordination, reaction speeds, multi-tasking abilities, and problem solving skills.

The influence of these games and actual

Is there a link between video games and violence?

bloodshed is indeed debatable.

Benjamin Wong, a clinical counsellor at Richmond Addiction Services, says that it is not his observation that such activities lead to more aggressive behaviour in gamers.

From his experience as a counsellor, he says that there are only a small percentage of individuals who have a documented history of violent behaviour.

Other than the occasional fit or tantrum over the topic of electronic gaming, there hasn’t been a whole lot of violence.

“I’d say that the majority of gamers that I come across, I wouldn’t even characterize them as remotely violent,” says Wong.

However, that is not to say that violent electronic games have no effect on the players at all.

Wong believes that the influence is subtle, and is often linked to their emotions, not actions. A heightened sense of anxiety, desensitization to violence, and aggressive

language are the traits that he frequently observes in the patients that he deals with.

“The aggression can come out in many different ways. Bullying is a form of aggression. Being passively aggressive, verbally aggressive, or emotionally abusive can be aggression too.”

Many of these types of behaviours are not easily noticed on a day-to-day basis.

“I think the public needs to be educated that violence does not only show up on the street,” says Wong.

John Gong, a first year student at Simon Fraser University, argues that violent games

“It doesn’t matter what age the gamers are, if they know how and when to control themselves, they’re mature.”

— John Gong

can have a significant mental influence.

As a former Call of Duty enthusiast, he is very aware of the effects of such games.

Gong says that the most obvious product is anger. Many times, it can come from losing. But the anger can also come from the thrill of the games.

“When the gamers shoot, they get excited, but there is anger in that excitement,” he says.

However, the extent of the games’ impact really depends on the individual’s character.

The personality of the gamer, Gong believes, is the biggest factor to how they react.

Age and maturity are also tremendous factors. But ultimately, self-control, or a lack thereof, is the most significant factor, whether in teenagers or adults.

“It doesn’t matter what age the gamers are, if they know how and when to control themselves, they’re mature.”

Teenage life is a juggling act Pressure from family, friends, school and the community can be overwhelming

by Angelica Poversky Youth Reporter

P

apers, projects, tests, stacked over top of the ongoing stress of maintaining a social life, having a job, volunteering, being in extracurricular activities and helping out a home; it’s enough to make a teenager explode.

All around, parents, teachers—everyone—wants you to succeed/excel in every aspect of your life. Frankly, as an adolescent human, this puts your brain on error 404 mode.

Grade 11 student Iggy Chan believes one of the factors of the recent increase in stress among teens is the synchronization of assignments which creates work overload for teenagers.

“Our midterms are all during the same area of time. Understandably it’s marks cut off (time), but there should be a better

UAL

way to spread them out so that we aren’t overloaded at the very last minute,” Chan says.

The 16-year-old says he’s noticed an increase in depression and anxiety among his peers and at times finds it uneasy to deal with everyone else’s load of worries. Teens are exhausted with pressure shoved at them from all directions—and they come to their friends for support.

McMath student Annie Ma says around the time of midterms, she was cramming, frantically highlighting facts while trying to maintain her friendships and not stepping on any toes.

Her friends were texting, calling, and talking to her about their problems while she was focused on the hard task of achieving a golden A on exams.

“I just want everyone to be happy...I want to be there for them, to listen to them, but I don’t want to be their therapist. I still have my own problems to deal with too.”

The principal’s honour roll student believes that the constant tension to be a “better friend” and ease the worries of others brings the person trying to help down if they feel like they failed by not devoting themselves to the situation entirely.

Health Canada understands the stresses of teenage Canadians and suggests to eat healthy, exercise and keep a positive and open mind in order to kickoff healthy living.

“Healthy living means making positive choices that enhance your personal, physical, mental and spiritual health,” Health Canada explains. A crucial tip for those struggling with the high school environment: “Build a circle of social contacts to create a supportive environment of people who care for you and respect you.”

No direct link between shooter games and violence From Page 25 So what happens if a player does not have self-control? Does it automatically mean that he or she will turn into a mass shooter?

Not necessarily.

“The moral panic will prompt the society to point fingers at video games, and understandably so because videogaming is a recent phenomenon,” says Wong.

For a gamer to reach the overly violent and utterly evil state of mass shooters, there are several other factors. Social isolation and precipitating mental health issues, particularly in the Sandy Hook situation, have been other contributors to the criminals of the recent shootings.

It is for this reason why the emphasis and focus cannot be placed only on electronic games and those playing them.

“I think the justice system and the mental health system need to very careful and cautious about video gaming. It must be on their radar,” Wong says.

Again, Wong stresses that there’s no direct link between shooting games and real-life violence.

“But I do think that we need to keep in mind that it is a factor.”

Busy summer schedule will prepare Dunfee for worlds

by Don Fennell Sports Editor With very deliberate steps, Evan Dunfee continues to inch closer to the 2013 International Association Athletics Federations world championships Aug. 10 to 18 in Moscow, Russia.

A 22-year-old from Richmond, Dunfee is one of Canada’s elite men’s race walkers.

And he keeps stepping up his game.

While not particularly happy with his time Saturday in the Penn Relays, he still won the 10,000 metre race in Philadelphia in fourty minutes, 51.37 seconds. That’s just shy of the Canadian record of 39:26.02 set by Guillaume Leblanc in 1990.

A University of B.C. grad, Dunfee is hoping a challenging series of summer races will have him finely tuned for the worlds.

He’s planning to spend much of the summer in Europe, following the Pan-Am Cup in Guatamala City, Guatamala May 25 and 26. On the heels of that event are the Canadian championships in Moncton, New Brunswick in June, after which Dunfee heads to the Summer Universiade Games July 6 to 17 in Kazan, Russia and the Francophone Games Sept. 15 in Nice, France. Between the latter two

EVAN DUNFEE

events, he plans to remain in Europe and will likely train alongside friends in London, England.

In March, Dunfee won the Pan-Am Cup U.S. trials in Huntington Beach, Calif. in a personal best time of one hour, 22 minutes, 45 seconds over 20 kilometres.

Richmond teams reload for shot at provincial titles From Page 29

Islanders 92/93B: Coached by Al Groff, the Islanders expect to build on a third-place finish at the 2012 Junior B provincials by being competitive with not only the teams in the Fraser Delta Women’s Fastpitch League’s First Division, but also in various tournaments as they aim this summer for a B.C. Senior B title.

“We have very talented infielders and outfielders and two strong pitchers (Julia Badock and Emily Agawa),” says Groff. “We hope to provide good defence for our pitchers and the run support needed to win innings and games.”

Kaeli Alexander begins this season as the starting catcher, but Groff is hoping Kelsey Lawrence (currently loaded down with studies) will be able to play at least some of the games. Sydney Jeffers is expected to add to the team’s power after her season at Douglas College concludes at the end of May, while Jessica Ramsay is still rehabbing a knee injury from last season but also hopes to join the Islanders later in the season.

Victoria Groff, Janessa Murao and Erin Boivin are reliable infielders who can also produce runs, while newcomers Kirstin Sullivan and Aviva Rappaport are returning to softball after more than a season away from the game. Alex Lowe is a proficient utility infielder whose contributions will also be counted on.

“We’ve really only just started, but our focus is on batting at this point in the season,” explains coach Groff, whose team will co-host the provincial Senior B championships July 19 to 21 at London Park.

Islanders Senior B: Co-hosts of the 2013 provincial Senior B championships, this Islander team is currently in a rebuilding mode with several new players in the lineup. But coach Larry Stohan still expects his team to remain competitive while building on each game.

“Although we lost a number of players (from last season) we have been able to maintain our level of play,” Stohan says.

Marina Russell is the starting catcher, with Stohan suggesting her

strong stature behind the plate will be key to bringing two new pitchers into the rotation. Kyla McWilliam moves to centre field, where her athleticism will enable her to cover a lot of open area.

The Islanders’ No. 1 shortstop from last season is off to Australia for a year to play field hockey, but Stohan says the Islanders were fortunate to be able to fill the void with Marina Deangelis who is currently playing at Douglas College.

Karen Wright, Monika Gorgopa, Danielle Strohan, Kyla McWilliam, Alison Hamm, Megan Sanderson and Bryanna Kochems-Speck give the Islanders a solid core of players, with Caitlyn Lee, Brianne Farrell, Kathryn Barczi and Jess Bader among the newcomers.

Farrell and Barczi both add to an already deep pitching staff, with the

latter honing her skills playing in California and later at Oregon State University.

Islanders 94: Coach Kevin Lee hopes to guide his junior women’s fast pitch team to the provincial Junior B championships this season, with hopes of winning a medal.

“Our expectations are to be a competitive and well-organized team that will challenge the older teams immediately,” says Lee. “We expect the players to perform at a high level and all have plenty of experience in ‘A’ level minor ball hopefully making the transition to adult ball rather seamless.”

Starting pitcher Jodi Westerhof brings a good mix of speed and accuracy to the circle, while Emily Dawydiak at first base and Kara Lee at second are expected

to contribute heavily to both the offense and defence. Kianna Trewin in centre will anchor the outfield. And Maddy Schram, Jennifer Kuan, Robyn Wozny, Courtney Cruden and Katie Ross are anxious to build on last season.

“We will be strong throughout the batting order, with good depth in both the infield and outfield,” says coach Lee. “But our strength will be offence with good, smart batters who will also take that intelligence to the field.”

Mustangs Senior C: After being an assistant coach for 12 seasons, Ray Russell begins his second as head coach of the Mustangs.

“Our goal is to go out and play hard,” says Russell. “But while winning is nice, it is not the only objective. This team has grown up together in the

Richmond Girls’ Softball Association and we want the players to keep having fun and playing the game.”

The Mustangs will again have solid pitching in returnees Myriah Purss, Jessica Russell and Leah Sedola, while Dawn Just, Kelsey Wagner and Stephanie Chen are solid defensive players who can also produce offensively. Also returning—and forming a solid infield—are Danielle Vallee, Sarah Chapman, Jenny Sargent and Sam Ahmed.

After taking last season off to travel, Alison Bruce has returned and gives the Mustangs speed and range in centre field, while Maddy Nicker joins

her twin sister Amy and Mackenzie Bentley from the Boomers of the Richmond Girls Softball Association’s Midget Division.

Rampage Junior B: Coach Erin Higashitani’s tam medalled last season at the provincial Junior C championship, so will be moving up to compete at the Junior B level this season. They’ll be part of the Fraser Delta Women’s Fastpitch League’s Second Division.

“Our goal is to have every player do her best each game and practice, and to continue to develop skills even at this latter part of their careers,” says Higashitani.

Janelle Higashitani and Karly Greczmiel are a

great tandem at pitcher and catcher respectively and Naz Kasad and Natasha Evodkimoff will be strong on the bats.

And Karen Henriksen at first base is a key infielder. But coach Higashitani stresses that “all positions are important and everyone needs to work hard to make this team successful.”

There’s also the added challenge of meshing two former Richmond Girls’ Softball Association teams—Jaguars and Synergy—into one.

Both teams gained valuable experience last season, the first for both playing women’s softball after participating in the RGSA’s minor house program.

Real facts about gangs and crime in BC. 1. GanG members likely to die before aGe 30: In B.C., if you are 30, a male and have a violent criminal past, your probability of becoming a victim of a gang-related murder increases substantially.

2. GanG numbers have increased: In 1980, law enforcement listed just a handful of gangs and organized crime groups. Today, that number is closer to 188.

3. GanGs and orGanized crime Groups are evolvinG: In the late 1990s – 2000s multi-ethnic gangs were common. Today, new business alliances are forming and groups that were in conflict are now working together.

FortisBC-sponsored People’s Choice Award spawns huge interest

Having your say with the People’s Choice For the first time this year, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association included a People’s Choice category in their Ovation Awards.

“GVHBA launched the People’s Choice Award as a fun and interactive way to raise awareness for the Ovation Awards,” says Wendy McNeil, vicepresident of marketing and education for the GVHBA. “More than 3,200 people voted ... I was thrilled with the response as it is the first year for this category, but I know we’ll have even more people voting next year.”

Readers were asked to vote for their favourite new or renovated project.

Everyone who voted was included

in a prize draw for a gas barbecue, sponsored by FortisBC. The winners were Gary and Bernice Robinson.

“We’re very happy to sponsor the GVHBA and Ovation Awards and have this opportunity to support builders of high-quality, energy-efficient homes,” says Dan Noel, regional energy solutions manager for FortisBC.

of Wakayama, Japan, who held the highest degree in karate, urged for karate to be offered at the martial arts centre, and wrote a letter to then Richmond Mayor Henry Anderson making this request. At the time, only keno and judo were being taught there.

Wakayama and Richmond had just launched its sister-city relationship, and that request was one of the first exchanges between the two leaders, Kojima says.

And so in 1973, karate was intro-

duced at the centre, thanks to the generosity of those from the kendo and judo communities who fundraised for the building.

Today, there are examples of three generations of members at the judo club.

And with five original members still active, Kojima wonders if there’s anything else quite like it in Canada.

The club has a rich winning tradition, which started in those early days.

In celebration of the club’s 60th anniversary, nearly three dozen people recently travelled to Japan for 12 days, including Kojima along with other veteran members, students, coaches and parents, who fundraised for the past four years through hotdog sales, and bottle and can drives.

Ed went on to say that for many local residents, the Steveston Seafood House was “the restaurant to go to for a really good meal.”

To celebrate this auspicious 35th anniversary, Steveston Seafood House is offering a mouthwatering four-course dinner sourced from 100% Oceanwise and B.C. products (with or without wine pairings).

“Steveston was a lot different back then,” says Ed, who with his wife Marianne and 13-year-old daughter Sydney, still celebrates special occasions and milestones at the restaurant. “I can still picture as an 11-year-old always loving the dessert trolley.”

Kudos goes to interior designer, Michelle Hermans (Michellehermansdesign.com), for capturing the essence of the eatery and of Steveston. ,“Michelle was somehow able to convey the spirit and feeling of Steveston and translate it into a modern material expression,” says Shane, who also credits his wife Jaymie for her countless hours working behind the scenes in the restaurant to ensure both customers and staff are happy.

In addition, Shane attributes much of the restaurant’s success to the great team, both in the kitchen and on the floor, who make each and every customer’s visit a memorable one.

If that’s indeed the case, then the local club has created thousands of good citizens since first opening its doors in 1953.

The judo club is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, and Kojima and four others were among the 80 original students when the club was founded by Tom Doi, Seiichi Hamanishi, Takeo Kawasaki, Kunji Kuramoto, Yukio Mizuguchi, Frank Sakai, Kanezo Tokai, Soichi Uyeyama, Harry Kuramoto and Lanky Mizuguchi.

Kojima, Art Nishi, Martin Kuramoto, Isao Kuramoto and Hap Hirata were the first Japanese judokas to be trained in the art of judo in Steveston.

Kojima recalls those humble days in the 1950s, when members utilized the materials at hand to fabricate their outfits. 100 pound rice sacks were made into pants, and canvas was used for their tops.

Sawdust from the Eburne saw mill in Vancouver—normally reserved for home heating—was used on the floors, as were tatami straw mats.

“We made do by improvising. We had no money and there was no waste.”

Kojima said the philosophy of respect for others has always been at the forefront of judo instruction.

“I think we’ve been able to accomplish that,” he says of continuing to teach that lesson.

Indeed, like other sports, judo The City of Richmond’s Move for Health Week initiative is presented by Shaw Communications, with support from BC Recreation and Parks Association (BCRPA) and Healthy Families BC and with the Richmond Review as a media partner. Move for Health Week activities are delivered in partnership with Vancouver Coastal Health, the Richmond School District, the City’s Community Association partners and local sports organizations.

One customer who has been frequenting the Steveston Seafood House since its inception is longtime Richmond resident, Ed Dowling. He vividly remembers as an 11-year-old getting dressed up and heading with his family for dinner at the “new” Steveston Seafood House.

“I was very impressed by Ken’s attention to detail … nothing was too large or small to address.”

“We are asking people to submit their favourite Steveston Seafood House stories and/or photos for a chance to win a chef’s dinner for 10,” says Shane (see the website for details). It’s estimated that since this historic eatery opened its doors, more than one million meals have been served and enjoyed.

Recently, the award-winning restaurant received a facelift. The renovation included interior improvements such as a fresh coat of paint, new chairs and linen, two wall-mounted eight-foot long modern fireplaces, art work and stunning contemporary chandeliers and light fixtures.

Few, however, have become proud landmarks like the Steveston Seafood House. Delicious locally sourced seafood, excellent service and great ambience are part of the draw for thousands of locals and visitors annually. The restaurant is recognized as one of best fine dining restaurants in the village, offering a wide assortment of Ocean Wise seafood and west coast cuisine in an intimate setting, just minutes away from the waterfront.

As might have been expected, its location near the Fraser River and the quaintness of the village brought with it a boom, and, with it, saw the opening of many restaurants over the last few decades.

“We have decided to do away with the thick cream sauces and heavily seasoned vegetables and instead focus on the natural taste of the items themselves,” says Shane. You would do yourself a disservice not to have someone at your table order the Smoked Alaskan Black Cod or the Qualicum Bay Seared Scallops, both which promise to tantalize all of your senses and guaranteed to be some of the best seafood dishes you will ever find.

Five originals celebrate judo club’s 60th year

•

Its property had a long history of successful business dating back to the mid-1940s. The structure was originally built as a variety shop, where children eagerly bought penny candy and bubblegum, and was later converted into the Steveston Equipment Store. For a few years in the early seventies the building stood vacant until it started its new life as the Steveston Seafood House.

“We are blessed to be living in the Pacific Northwest with an abundance of fresh food,” says Shane. “There’s just such a wonderful selection of seafood, meat, grains, produce and fruit to choose from, there’s little reason to go outside of B.C.” This spring, the menu will be heavy on locally sourced spot prawns, halibut and wild salmon served simply.
