Firefighter tells teens about 4 life-saving Ps

28 PAGEs

Digging in for Day of Caring

Greg Drew, who lost his son to a high-speed car crash in 2003, tells teens to get out of unsafe vehicles

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter More than a few teens reluctantly raised their hands inside A.R. MacNeill’s gymnasium Monday when veteran firefighter Greg Drew asked if they’d ever been inside a car that was driven in an unsafe manner.

Drew was telling a cautionary tale about the deadly and far-reaching consequences of poor decision making, using his son’s heart-breaking story from May 14, 2003 to illustrate his point.

He said every teen should remember there’s a way they can get themselves out of a pickle when in a car driven by a reckless driver.

He called it the three Ps, though for women, there’s a fourth.

Pee, poo, puke are all excuses that will get the attention of a driver, and quickly get them to pull over and let you out, Drew said. And for women, their period will have a similar impact.

Drew’s powerful presentation centered around his son Jason “Jay” Drew, who

died a decade ago when his speedy Eagle Talon crashed into a tree.

Greg was there watching as fellow firefighters tried to free Jay from the wreckage, his six-foot-five-inch frame so badly injured, his broken femur was in his ear.

After the firefighters freed his son, and took him to the hospital, Jay’s heart beat for the last time as his father held his hand.

Greg Drew said teenagers are not invincible, and said he wished one of his son’s friends would have alerted him to his son’s perilous latenight activity.

Greg Drew said he’d shown his two sons the deadly consequences of mixing high speed with cars, using an

actual crash scene in hopes of hammering the message home.

While the scene involving a car hitting a lamp stand resonated with one of his sons, it didn’t have the same impact with Jay, who subsequently paid the ultimate price for his actions.

“I showed Jay this crash at three o’clock in the morning. I phoned my ex-wife up and I said send Jay and Mike down. I want Jay to see what his car’s gonna look like if he wants to drive it fast.”

Now, every time Greg Drew gets the chance, he delivers that same message to Lower Mainland teens in hopes they might listen and avoid the same deadly fate.

A band’s bravo for Bill Brooks Long & McQuade manager receives a noteworthy retirement send-off

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Bill Brooks was all smiles, his toes tapping, as he listened to Hugh Boyd’s band conducted by teacher Garth Bowen, playing their hearts out on the sidewalk.

A small gathering of passersby joined Brooks and his staff to watch the impromptu roadside performance Friday afternoon in front of the Long & McQuade musical instrument store on No. 3 Road where Brooks has been a champion for the musical cause for more than a quarter century.

Later this month, Brooks will be retiring, and Bowen thought it a fitting tribute to and acknowledgement of Brooks’ contributions to the community by gathering the school band he teaches for a high-energy salute.

Shuttled by their parents and teachers, and carrying their flutes, guitars, drums, trumpets and saxophones, some of the students had

little knowledge of Brooks or what he’s done for Richmond over the years.

So Bowen explained where it all started for Brooks, at a small store inside Richmond Centre called Noteworthy Music.

“Over the years, he’s lent out pianos all over the place, to the city, to the Richmond school district, to lots of people. He’s a member of the Rotary Club, so he’s very charity minded. He’s got a good heart, and now he says he wants to retire.”

Indeed, Brooks helped The Richmond Review celebrate the accomplishments of local women by lending out a piano to the Ethel Tibbits Women of Distinction Awards a few years back.

And every year, for the past dozen, Brooks has supplied a piano for Richmond City Hall for its Winter Wonderland, for community members—including Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie—to perform on.

“That was just so super for the Hugh Boyd band to come out like that. It gave me a kind of buzz for the whole weekend. It was great.”

Brooks said he’s been in business in Richmond for the past 30 years, and donating musical instruments—free of charge—for community events “kind of completes the circle.”

Martin van den Hemel photo Bill Brooks has been fostering a love for music among locals for decades, and on Friday, just a couple of weeks prior to Brooks’ retirement, he received a thank you from Hugh Boyd secondary’s band students and their band teacher, Garth Bowen.

Musical performances develop in children a love of music and people, and when those kids grow up, they are more likely to put their children in to musical programs and support

arts education, Brooks said.

Brooks’ last day at work is Saturday, June 29, and to celebrate, five bands will be playing in the parking lot behind his store, 6760 No. 3 Rd.,

from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. He’ll be giving away hot dogs and drinks, and selling raffle tickets for a barbecue to raise money for the music therapy program at B.C. Children’s Hospital

Local firm plays key role in medical isotope breakthrough Advanced Cyclotoron System’s medical cyclotron upgraded for large-scale production

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A two-dozen strong team of scientists, engineers, technicians and grad students have developed a means to reach large-scale production of an increasingly-scarce isotope critical in the medical imaging of disease in the heart, bones and other parts of the human body.

The breakthrough was announced Sunday, and utilizes a Richmond-manufactured cyclotron which was upgraded using patentpending hardware changes.

Tim Meyer, spokesperson for TRIUMF, Canada’s national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics, said the medical isotope technetium-99m was previously sourced from the aging National Research Universal nuclear reactor in Chalk River, Ontario, which is winding down production of the isotope, ceasing operations by 2016.

The solution will enable the dozen major hospitals across the country to upgrade their existing cyclotrons, and produce the isotope at sufficient levels to meet daily demand, and adjust production to meet their own scheduled needs, at a cost that’s competitive

A team of scientists, engineers, technicians and grad students have developed a means to reach large-scale production of an increasingly-scarce isotope, utilizing a Richmond-built cyclotron.

with the current market for the isotope.

He said the made-in-Canada solution came from tremendous cooperation between the public and private sector, with funding coming from the federal and provincial governments.

Meyer explained most devices make isotopes from liquids and gases, but the procedure devised over the last five years by the TRIUMF team employs irradiating a solid material to create this specific widely-used isotope.

By de-centralizing the produc-

tion of the isotope, hospitals can borrow the isotope when their cyclotron is being serviced from other hospitals equipped with an upgraded cyclotron.

Every year, tens of millions of medical procedures around the world rely on technetium-99m, with today’s demand met by a small number of aging reactors which have suffered maintenance and repair outages that threatened the global supply of the isotope.

Cyclotrons are safer than nuclear reactors because they don’t use any form of uranium, they can be

simply turned on and off (unlike a reactor), and uses conventional energies and relatively low levels of radiation, Meyer said.

Richard Eppich, president of Richmond-based Advanced Cyclotron Systems, said: “We are proud of the TRIUMF team and of our equipment; this demonstration validates the overall approach that Canada has been championing—that modern, high-power cyclotrons can produce all of the essential medical isotopes needed in the best hospitals and clinics.”

Meyer said in Europe, leaders are waiting to see what solutions Canada and the U.S. come up with.

In the U.S., they are trying to create “smarter reactors”, something that hasn’t been done in decades.

The goal is now to receive federal regulatory approval in the next couple of years. And the vision is to licence out the technology to other countries, with Canada reaping the benefits.

Michael Kovacs, imaging scientist at Lawson Health Research Institute said: “This milestone is key to our plans to deploy this technology to the existing medical cyclotron facilities in Canada, and hundreds more worldwide.

The diversification of the (technetium-99m) supply chain with robust and cost-effective cyclotronbased technology will reduce the dependence on the conventional, reactor-derived supply.”

A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator, in which charged particles are accelerated to high speeds along a trajectory controlled by static magnetic fields.

Cyclotron particle beams can be used to bombard other atoms to create short-lived isotopes used for medical imaging.

Meyer explained that Advanced Cyclotron produces the highestperforming cyclotron—considered the “Cadillac” version—and scientists, engineers and technicians worked closely with the cyclotron technicians and engineers to fully-understand the device in preparation for making hardware alterations that would enable large-scale production.

A cross-Canada hiking trail will soon include Richmond on its route.

On Monday Richmond council included the city in the National Hiking Trail program, designating a portion of the dyke trail as part of the route.

“Richmond’s participation in the National Hiking Trail will increase the profile of Richmond’s dyke trail system and its waterfront amenities,” said Serena Lusk, manager of parks programs.

The route in Richmond will stretch approximately 19 kilometres—from the George Massey Tunnel in the south to Cambie Road in the north. Once hikers catch a bus through the tunnel, they would head to the South Dyke Trail at No. 5 Road. That would lead them to Garry Point Park, then to Terra Nova and along the Middle Arm Dyke Trail to the Canada Line’s Aberdeen Station.

Hikers would then be encouraged to take the train to downtown Vancouver, where the trail would continue.

Richmond is planning to add small trail markers to existing signs to keep hikers on track.

Co-ordinating the development of the National Hiking Trail in B.C. is Hike BC. That group formed in 2000, but the concept of the coast-to-coast trail is much older, dating to 1971, according to the staff report.

Hike BC is now completing links in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley to add to the 40 communities in B.C. already linked by the trail.

The National Hiking Trail is one of two cross-Canada

Richmond Centre MLA Teresa Wat nets cabinet post Rookie politician appointed head of new ministry

by Christy Clark

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter B.C. Liberal Premier Christy Clark has named first-time MLA Teresa Wat to cabinet.

Wat, the MLA for Richmond Centre, received the post of Minister of International Trade and Minister Responsible for Asia Pacific Strategy and Multiculturalism. The new job was awarded to Wat at a ceremony at Canada Place in Vancouver June 7.

“I’m very excited and honoured to be appointed to this position,” said Wat after the ceremony.

“This is a new ministry that shows the premier is paying a lot of attention to Asia Pacific trade. This is going to be our future.”

Wat, a Burnaby resident recruited by the Liberals, emigrated from Hong Kong in 1989. She’s the head of a Chinese language radio station and a former TV news director. In the May 14 election, she won Richmond Centre with 49.9 per cent of the vote.

Clark said Wat will implement the Liberals’ Asia head office strategy to make B.C. the first choice for Asian compa-

nies hoping to locate in North America.

“She will knock down doors in Asia north and south. She will grow our international trade, diversify our markets. She will ensure that government serves and speaks to all our diverse population,” Clark told a crowd of supporters and media.

Clark called the task of choosing her executive council of 19 ministers difficult. She said her team has “a blend of experience and fresh eyes.”

“British Columbians sent me, sent this province, the most talented group of MLAs that I think has ever sat in the legislature,” said the premier.

Richmond’s other two MLAs, John Yap and Linda Reid, were left off the executive.

Yap, MLA for Richmond-Steveston, instead netted the position of Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice and Attorney General for Liquor Policy Reform. Yap served in a

few different portfolios before resigning from cabinet in March after a memo surfaced outlining the use of non-partisan resources for political organizing.

Reid, MLA for Richmond East, last served the legislature as Deputy Speaker.

She is considered the frontrunner to become Speaker this term.

Cabinet was formally sworn in Monday, June 10 at Government House by Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon.

Premier Christy Clark’s chief of staff Dan Doyle can be paid up to $230,000 a year under salary changes approved June 3 by the B.C. cabinet.

How does your garden grow?

Cabinet order raises staff salaries

by Tom Fletcher Black Press The NDP opposition came out swinging Tuesday, releasing cabinet orders that allow for large pay increases for senior political staff in government ministries and Premier Christy Clark’s office.

Cabinet orders dated June 3 provide for an 18 per cent increase to the maximum salary for the premier’s chief of staff, from $195,148 to $230,000 per year. The orders provide for a salary range, so the salary currently paid to Clark’s chief of staff, Dan Doyle, is not known.

Another order provides for Clark’s new deputy chief of staff,

Michele Cadario, to be paid a salary of $195,148. Cadario, deputy campaign manager in the B.C. Liberals’ successful election campaign, replaces Kim Haakstad, who resigned before the election over improper political activities in the party’s ethnic outreach strategy.

NDP MLA John Horgan said the move is particularly inappropriate as the government prepares to comb its operations for cost savings to meet its balanced budget target.

“It certainly seems to me that the first day cabinet meets, their priority is not the people of British Columbia, it’s their political pals,” Horgan said. “In the case of

the deputy chief of staff, yesterday this individual would have been paid $144,000 a year. Today that position is $195,000. Nice work if you can get it.”

Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the increases reflect new positions and additional responsibilities, and don’t mean extra costs for taxpayers.

The extra money is from “reallocations from within, but the overall budget will be the same,” de Jong said.

Among those new positions is the promotion of some ministerial assistants to “chiefs of staff” within each government ministry, making them responsible for other staff in each minister’s office.

W

e, the voters, deserve better – from our leaders, from our candidates and from the system that purports to serve us.

We have a returning premier who failed to win her own seat last month, telling us that several of her successful MLA-elects have offered to abandon their ridings, in which they were chosen by the people, for her presumed byelection victory.

Closer to home, we have municipal representatives who, in the same provincial election, saw an opening for higher office and, once victori-

ous, necessitate now either city byelections or underrepresentation at the civic level.

These examples merely scratch the surface of a situation so endemic, voters are abrogating their responsibilities by staying home on election day.

This is one theory on a voter turnout so consistently low, it no longer shocks.

Another theory is that would-be voters are so pleased by the calibre of candidate – and by actual voters’ choices – that they know their city/ province/country is in good hands.

Taking a look at the most recent election, that scenario is difficult to accept. It’s more likely that the

four major parties – yes, there were four – each failed to captivate voters’ interests and fill the campaign with educated discourse.

(That is, in ridings where all four parties actually fielded candidates.

Not to diminish Surrey-Cloverdale MLA-elect Stephanie Cadieux’s laudable accomplishments as the province’s top vote-getter with 18,001 supporters, but did the BC Greens really believe she deserved a pass?)

Instead, we had three leaders battle-scarred from past and recent missteps, and a fourth marked by indecision – BC Liberal Christy Clark, New Democrat Adrian Dix, Conservative John Cummins and Green

Jane Sterk, who has yet to campaign like she wants to be premier.

Of course, farthest from home, at the highest levels of political office, we have a prime minister who claims no prior knowledge of a $90,172-cheque from his thenchief of staff to his own appointed senator, the latter who used the money to try to derail a Senate audit by repaying unsanctioned home expenses and per diems that should never have been claimed.

Non-voters get what they deserve.

But we, the voters – the fractious fraction who actually make our way to the ballot box – deserve so much better.

Expense cleanup must continue

B.C. Views

Tom Fletcher

A

s she unveiled her new cabinet, Premier Christy Clark promised a “line-by-line” review of government spending to deliver a balanced budget this year.

Statements such as this would have more credibility if politicians subjected their own personal spending to the same scrutiny. That’s still not happening in B.C. Expense accountability has come a long way in the last year, thanks mainly to the work of now-departed Auditor General John Doyle, who swung the cobwebcovered door open on B.C.’s secretive Legislative Assembly Management Committee.

Chaired by the speaker and run by senior MLAs from both parties, the committee had been doing pretty much whatever it wanted with MLAs’ own expenses.

Doyle’s audit found that MLA credit card bills were being paid without receipts, part of a lax accounting system that included inaccurate bank records and inadequate management of the legislature gift shop and din-

ing room. The operating budget of the legislature and constituencies runs to more than $60 million a year.

Now-retired speaker Bill Barisoff asked the auditor to give a pass to the $119,000 annual allowance for each of the 85 constituency offices.

Transfer amounts and payroll expenses were verified, but constituency expenses were not, likely because these records weren’t kept either.

I’m not suggesting that there has been any misuse of public funds.

The point is we don’t know, and the notion of an “honour system” for politicians’ expenses has become unacceptable.

A similar toxic tale has been unfolding in the Senate in Ottawa.

It has its own secretive committee called the Board of Internal Econ-

omy, which was forced into the open after trying to sweep Senator Mike Duffy’s housing claims under the red rug of the Senate chamber.

Duffy has lived in Ottawa for decades, first as a TV host and then senator, but he decided the rules were loose enough that he could claim his summer place in Prince Edward Island as his principal residence.

An audit has also found he was claiming living expenses in Ottawa while campaigning for the Conservatives back east. It turns out the key ingredient in an honour system is honour.

This mess goes back more than a century in B.C. and Canada, and has its roots in the British Parliament, where MPs and Lords had a system of claiming all sorts of expenses, including

construction of a “duck house” and maintenance of the moat around an Honourable Member’s castle.

Many years ago, British MPs convinced themselves that they were underpaid, and rather than create a public fuss by giving themselves a big raise, they would be able to top it up by claiming up to 250 pounds at a time without receipts.

Cheers!

You can imagine how well that worked out. As one observer put it, the system was not only open to abuse, it was actually designed for it.

Here in B.C., the next step is obvious. If you go to the website of Alberta Premier Alison Redford, you can easily find the link to her detailed expense reports, itemized for travel, meals, hotel rooms and so forth.

Tom Fletcher/Black Press

Alberta cabinet ministers provide the same disclosure.

B.C. cabinet ministers’ travel expenses are now reported, but only as an occasional lump sum.

As a result of Doyle’s revelations last summer, B.C.’s Legislative Assembly Management Committee now meets in public, with transcripts of proceedings available.

But MLA expenses are still not itemized. Total expenditures are being reported on a quarterly basis, but with no detail to explain why some MLAs have much higher totals than others.

It’s time to sweep out the cobwebs.

New Richmond Museum deserves more study Editor: The display area in the museum for a city the size of Richmond is very inadequate.

There are items in storage that have not seen the light of day for 20 years.

The museum staff has put on some wonderful displays, however, with a limited turnover they may not be seen again for some time.

Moving big items back and forth to a warehouse takes a

lot of time and effort.

It is not necessary to have a building that looks like the Sydney Opera House, but a people place, a lecture area, flexible interior and storage that can be viewed.

Vancouver has 20,000 square feet, but the location is not ideal as it is not on a public transit line. Someone suggested a Richmond Museum site at No. 3 and Cambie roads.

This area was the location of

the first town hall, fairgrounds and the chapel.

It would be interesting to get a proper idea of cost as other projects are also important.

Richmond has had an interesting past: farming, fishing, airports, early settlers, First Nations, river transport, canneries and much more. They all deserve respect and should not be forgotten.

Letter writers should reveal their biases Editor: Re: “A new museum would benefit us all,” Letters.

I have a habit of looking at who wrote the article before reading it. For example, I read a letter to the editor, some time ago, that was very supportive of high-density housing. The writer gave no indication of his job. Using Google, I found a person with that name that involved in the building/development industry and thus the obvious support.

Reading the letter by Mark Sakai supporting a

new museum for Richmond, I was very surprised as the opposition to this is widespread throughout the community. However, using Google, I find he used to be executive director of Delta Museum and Archives Society and thus the reason for his support. When you have a bias like this, based on your career, you should mention this in your letter so as not to appear to be speaking as an ordinary citizen.

Olympic Museum shouldn’t be a priority Editor: The idea that the City of Richmond might spend more than $5 million on an Olympic sport museum is startling and troubling. For a moment I thought the idea was a jokel If such a plan were ever carried out, it would be a travesty and a “tragedy.” At the very least, the citizens of Richmond must be asked to vote on such a proposition if it is every seriously considered. There are so many more important issues confronting the city at this time. The original Olympic ideal was a good one, but it was “destroyed” in ancient times, and it has been destroyed by out-and-out professionalism again today.

Earle F. Zeigler Richmond Editor’s note: The Richmond Olympic Experience is slated to open next year in the Richmond Olympic Oval.

Some people don’t know how to share the road Editor: I was returning home on a beautiful sunny day by bicycle after attending the annual Island City Bike Tour when a person almost ran me over in the crosswalk. As he brushed perilously close by me doing a left turn at Westminster Highway and No. 5 Rd, he shouted out of his window, "You're just a bike!"

I don't understand what you mean by that. Do you think my life is worth less than yours because you're in a car? Do you think my choice to be healthy and environmentally friendly today is a lesser choice than your car? Do you think you can bully me because you're in a vehicle that weighs 100 times more than mine?

Congratulations to the Richmond Youth Foundation for successfully hosting the 2013 Benefit Brunch — From the Ground Up, Everything Starts with Your Ambition.

Event proceeds went towards the RYF Endowment Fund, to support youth projects in Richmond.

Morning highlights included the keynote address by Natasha Jung, co-founder of RichCity Idol, and a presentation from the 2013 winners of the RYF Zenith in Action project planning competition.

The Richmond Youth Foundation would like to recognize the following supporters: • Rotary Club of Richmond Sunrise • Richmond Community Foundation • All the community prize sponsors, as well as the RYF Benefit Brunch committee, led by Co-Chairs Allison Lau and Jaclyn Chiu.

I am a motorist, a motorcyclist, a bicyclist, a pedestrian. I know how to share the road. Everything I needed to learn was from Kindergarten, right? Maybe you can learn to share too!

I am thankful that Richmond has improved many roads for bicyclists, and I hope our city will continue to organize bike tours. I also want to thank the friendly and helpful volunteers who offered information and insight to our biking community. I also hope we will have some more community events to help educate our drivers to be more aware of what sharing the road means.

Better infrastructure should be part of Bridgeport renewal Editor: Re: “Renewal beginning to sweep through Bridgeport.”

I read with interest your article about the Bridgeport neighborhood as I am one of those living in one of the “single-family homes surrounding Tait Elementary.” Your article explains that the first phase of the apartments being built is expected to contain 383 units and I assume that the next phase(s) will have a similar number of units.

I should firstly state that I'm not against this project, however, I am concerned about the lack of infrastructure/civic planning to support such a dramatic increase in popula-

tion. River Drive, which runs right in front of this development is a one lane each way road. West of 4 Road, along River Drive, there is no sidewalk and, since there are ditches, there is almost no shoulder. This is the crux of the matter since the Canada Line, the Canada line bike/pedestrian bridge and one of the Richmond night markets are all just down the road. These are all places that can, and should, be pedestrian and cyclist friendly routes.

As it is now, I see walkers, joggers and cyclists using this route with cars and semi-trucks trying to give them a wide berth. With the population of

383 apartment units adding to this, it will get only more dangerous; an accident waiting to happen.

I contacted city hall about this and was told that "The City has annual programs for the implementation of cycling and pedestrian improvements and we will keep this area in mind as future funding becomes available." As positive as I try to be there is a little cynical voice inside me saying that this may never happen. That is unless one day in the future some pedestrian or cyclist (possibly me) gets hit by a car or truck.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

The advantage of starting retirement planning early is that the investment window is wide open, with decades of time in which investments can grow.

Sitting down with a professional financial advisor enables young

investors to share their dreams and aspirations of what they’d like to do along the way to their eventual retirement.

“This is what we do; we educate people,” said Wang. “We sit down and create a financial plan which is also an estate plan.”

By getting one’s financial house in order, this can provide peace of mind in the event of a calamity, such as an unexpected illness.

While you may survive the illness, the process could leave you in financial ruin.

Maxi dresses can take you from a casual breakfast to a fancy dinner.

looking stylish in all your travel pictures, the key is versatility. Bring basic items that will go well with anything such as jeans, neutral tees, blouses and skirts. Pack pieces that are in a similar colour scheme so it’ll be easier to mix and match. Casual dresses are always great since they’re a comfortable, one-piece ensemble.

Dresses can also be transformed into a different look by covering the top with a different blouse or the bottom half with a longer skirt layered over. Also pack layers such as cardigans, vests and thin sweaters so you’ll be ready for chilly nights or places that are heavily air conditioned. Of course, take into consideration the activities you’ll be doing during your trip, whether you’ll be attending a work meeting, hiking around scenic areas, spending time on a beach or dressing up for a night out. A dark blazer usually works to make a look more polished and dressed up.

A must have for any trip are shoes that are comfortable to walk hours in and can go with most of your outfits. Low top Chuck Taylor’s are a popular option. Street stylish girls have been pairing the classic sneakers with anything from boyfriend jeans to miniskirts. As for bags, go with a cross-body purse, or at least one with a shoulder strap, for your travels so you’ll have both hands free to explore the town. If you do find it necessary to bring a lot of clothing, try using packing bags that you can compress in order to maximize available space. And for those going on a lengthy trip, there’s always the option of washing your clothes at your hotel, local laundromat, or even hand-washing in the sink.

Try to bring items that are wrinkleresistant — no one wants to take time out

of their sightseeing schedule in order to iron. Usually manmade fabrics such as nylon, polyester, and lycra are wrinkle-free.

Cotton blends, denim and knits can also go without ironing. Linen, a lightweight fabric great for hot weather,

from the collar to the hem. For pants, bring the legs together and fold in half, and then roll from the open end to the crease. If you’re bringing formalwear, insert some tissue paper between each piece to prevent any creases and try to lay

is supposed to be slightly wrinkled. So if you don’t mind an earthy, rumbled look, incorporate linen fabrics into your summer travel ensembles to keep cool.

For the actual packing process, whether you’re carrying a suitcase or a backpack, roll your clothes instead of completely folding them. It will create fewer wrinkles while saving more space. For shirts, align the sleeves together by folding the shirt in half lengthwise, tuck the sleeves onto the body, and then roll

them flat at the top of the suitcase, or use a garment bag.

By not leaving packing until the last minute, planning ahead and preparing your luggage smartly, you’ll be on your way to a stress-free trip.

Have a happy and safe journey!

to keep the grill spotless before and after a meal, a heavy duty grid brush is a must. Recommended is one with a “grime guard.”

Broil King says it will keep the grill clean as well as your grill master. Pair it with a biodegradable grill cleaner and let dad worry about cooking, not cleaning.

•Trying to balance adult meals with kid-friendly choices can be tricky, but burger presses and grill baskets make it easy to accommodate everyone.

Sliders are the perfect size for little hands, and a basket that can grill at least six at time will help keep hungry mouths fed.

A stuffed burger press is perfect for creating unique flavour combinations for the adults. Try Greek burgers stuffed with feta cheese, roasted red pepper, and spinach.

•If Dad is tending the barbecue for hours on end, consider a pair of heavy stainless steel pork claws. Broil Kin claims they make shredding pork a walk in the park.

•Items designed for both cooking prep and presentation are great gifts for an outdoor entertainer. A jalapeno pepper rack adds grill appeal to this popular appetizer and a pizza stone helps chefs prepare and serve an authentic pizza pie.

•For the dad who has it all, explore the wide range of rubs, marinades and wood chips available to provide hours of flavour experimenting.

father’s day Fish free this Father’s Day weekend

From June 14 to 16, fishing without a license is not only legal, it's encouraged, thanks to B.C.’s 14th Annual Family Fishing Weekend.

The province-wide event, presented by The Family Fishing Society of BC and hosted by volunteer led community groups, is part of an ongoing effort to get more people hooked on fishing and appreciative of our tremendous aquatic and marine resources.

Family Fishing Weekend is a once-a-year opportunity to fish BC's lakes, rivers, streams and tidal waters for free, compliments of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. DFO is also offering free saltwater fishing over Fathers' Day weekend.

As with the provincial program, certain regulations apply. For regulation details please visit www.pac. dfo-mpo.gc.ca or www.gofishbc.com.

The 14th annual Family Fishing Weekend is made possible by financial support from the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. and the Province of British Columbia. Material and volunteer donations are made by numerous like-minded organizations and businesses, and by all the communities that host events. In addition to free fishing, the weekend will be celebrated with 50 specific community events across the province, many featuring the Freshwater Fisheries Society's popular “Learn to Fish” sessions.

Events will be held across B.C., including Berry’s Bait & Tackle Trout Pond at 14651 Westminster Hwy. in Richmond, the Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery in Abbotsford, Cultus Lake in Chilliwack, Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam, Salmon Lake in Langley, Rice Lake in North Vancouver, and Lakeside Park at Alta Lake in Whistler.

A complete list of participating communities, locations and event descriptions, along with step-

by-step fishing instructions and regulations can be found at www.bcfamilyfishing.com.

“These events offer a great opportunity to learn about and how to fish in a fun and supervised environment,” said executive director of the Family Fishing Society of B.C., Owen Bird. “The hundreds of volunteers who organize and participate in these events are passionate about fishing and even more passionate about passing on their love of the sport.

They really are the heart of Family Fishing Weekend.”

The Family Fishing Society of BC was established in 2001 to encourage new anglers as well as promote and coordinate Family Fishing Weekend and other angling initiatives targeted toward families and young people. In 2012, the Society was honoured to receive the National Recreational Fisheries Award by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, in recognition of its efforts to introduce thousands of young people and families to the sport.

•Food: As the saying goes, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Take advantage of these words of wisdom by gifting your Dad with food or culinary-themed items.

Dad may be an amateur chef and will enjoy a cookbook. Or he may have a restaurant he insists on going to all the time, so guaranteeing a gift card to said restaurant will be a hit.

If Dad appreciates not only the taste, but also the culture of food, plan

a tour of food shops in the area or go on a wine- and cheese-tasting adventure.

•Sports: If Dad follows a particular team or sport, gifts inspired by his love of a favorite team are a surefire bet for success. Team jersies, game memorabilia, tickets to the next at-home game, or an expanded sports programming package are some gift ideas that will co-

ordinate with a sports theme. Some dads also may be content to simply hit the links or spend a few hours at the batting cages.

•Personalized gifts: Personalized gifts can show that special man in your life that you care about him in a special way. Instead of a run-of-the-mill item pulled off a store shelf, a personalized gift can feature a name, date

or sentiment right on the gift itself. Think about giving Dad a personalized plaque that designates his work area in the garage or a pocket lighter or photo frame engraved with a special message or his name. An embroidered bath robe, or a golf bag embroidered with his initials may also be a special treat.

•Gear heads: Some dads get revved up about automotive gifts, especially if they spend the weekends pampering their prized cars or trucks.

If he tends to have a wrench in hand and head under the hood, treat your father to some new supplies for his automotive pursuits. Quality car waxes and upholstery cleaners are always in demand. Or give him a gift certificate to his favorite hand-wash, auto-detailing center.

Gas station gift cards or a new ratchet set are other good auto gift ideas.

•Techies: Some dads get excited about the latest tablets or smartphones. They may keep abreast of virusdetection software or think the technological gadgets sold in those speciality magazines and mall stores are must-haves. Chances are if you spend enough time with Dad you know just what he likes to dabble in, and you can get him an electronic device he'll find invaluable.

Although it may seem difficult on the surface to find a gift for Dad that he truly will enjoy and use, all it takes is a close examination of his likes to find something appropriate.

father’s day

Don’t get Dad the wrong deal Father’s Day is coming up this Sunday, and dads are high on many people’s shopping lists. The Better Business Bureau serving Mainland British Columbia wants to help families avoid some of the common last minute shopping pitfalls.

Popular gifts and things to consider when Father’s Day shopping includes: •Gift cards and gift certificates: Check terms and conditions of any gift card or certificate before you buy it. Gift cards and gift certificates (prepaid purchase cards) issued or sold in British Columbia are not allowed to have expiry dates or fees. However, if you buy a gift certificate from a daily deal website it may be allowed to expire if you do not buy the product at face value. Also, ask if the gift card can be used online or only in a store?

•Electronics: If you decide to buy a camera, GPS system, cell phone, music player or another electronic device, be sure you keep it in its original packaging. Encourage your Dad to look it over carefully before opening it. Some stores may not accept returns if the packaging has been opened or removed. Ask about any warranties on gadgets.

•Recreational rentals: If you want to rent camp-

Inspect the rental and get written proof of existing damage before renting the equipment.

• Guides, tours and classes: Fishing, sightseeing, skydiving and golf lessons can be a fun way to spend time with Dad. But you will need to get the details in writing in advance of the trip or class. Make sure you clarify the following: •Are reservations required and if so, by when?

•What are the total costs and features?

•What services and equipment are included?

•Are taxes, tips or other charges added?

•Are there any restrictions or special time requirements.

•Are there cancellation fees or refund penalties or policies •Clothing or personal items: Despite our best intentions, sometimes there may be a problem with the item or it may not fit. If you don’t know what size or color your father prefers, make returns easy by getting a gift receipt.

Glen Eden Multimodal Centre is holding an open house fundraising event Saturday June 15 at its new Richmond facility.

Glen Eden is a fully accredited special education facility and non-profit charitable organization that’s been helping children with special needs since 1984. Many of its students are excluded from the public education system due to medical and emotional challenges.

Three years ago, the government cut Glen Eden’s $220,000 annual grant—a grant that provided supports for special needs children that weren’t covered by tuition. The cash crunch forced the centre to nearly close last summer, but generous donors have made it possible to open Glen Eden’s doors again in a new Richmond location.

Since last September, children have been meeting in a tempo-

rary location. Glen Eden’s new space on Vanier Place are expected to open to students in July.

Saturday’s event will celebrate the imminent opening of the facility and to raise funds for much-needed equipment and to finish renovations.

Glen Eden officials hope to

raise $100,000. Donations can be made through raffles, draws, sponsoring a classroom, donating equipment or donating funds (tax receipts available).

The open house is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 190-13151 Vanier Pl. in East Richmond.

Chuckers’ mettle catching up with skillset Richmond City Baseball Bantam AAA team starting to realize its potential

by Don Fennell Sports Editor

S

chool lets out this week, but not for the boys of summer.

Determined to challenge for provincial Bantam AAA baseball supremacy, the Richmond City Chuckers are ramping up with an eye to peaking at the B.C. championship Aug. 1 to 4 in Kamloops. And so while the Chuckers currently sit second in league play and are 17-5 overall, veteran skipper Alex Klenman is stressing there’s still a lot of baseball to be played and lessons to be learned.

“It’s good for us to see where we stand against the top teams (Vancouver, Tri-City, Cloverdale and Abbotsford),” he says. “We’ve seen them all and won and lost to each, but the road to a championship goes through one or more of those teams so we need to be confident we can get the job done against those highquality opponents.”

Despite a solid start to the season, the Chuckers had yet to play to their potential when they hosted their annual wood bat classic over the Victoria Day long weekend. Klenman said the coaching staff had seen components of their overall game elevated, but without the desired consistency.

And while they didn’t win the invitational, the Chuckers’ inspired play—shorthanded by injuries and both Isaiah Hayes and Tyler Hoefer unavailable to pitch— has been a catalyst in the team emerging as the powerhouse many had anticipated.

Instead of letting a 7-2 loss to the Cloverdale Spurs get them down, the Richmond reps responded strongly in their next game to defeat Cloverdale 10-0 in league play just five days later. And they’ve continually shown a strong mental makeup since, including a trio of dominant performances last weekend in which they outscored North

Island Royals (much improved over last season at 12-12) by a 10-0 count Saturday and then took both ends of a twin-bill against a young Nanaimo Pirates 17-7 and 19-9 Sunday at Blundell Field.

Tyler Hoefer had a particularly impressive weekend, highlighted by a pitching masterpiece Saturday in which he threw a no-hitter and walked only a single batter in the fourth inning against North Island. The game ended in the bottom of the sixth inning when Richmond scored to invoke the mercy rule.

“You won’t see this too often, at any level,” Klenman said of Hoefer’s effort. “What was incredible was that he struck out 16 of the batters he faced, and he started the game with the first 10 in succession. A rare feat indeed.”

Isaiah Hayes and Mitchell Rennie had three RBI each to lead the Chuckers’ offence, but it was really all Hoefer who also hit a long triple.

Hoefer was perhaps just as impressive in an offensive role Sunday, with a long home run and nine RBI on the day.

Taking advantage of a Pirates’ team in the midst of a big learning curve, the Chuckers had 38 hits with Logan Newman going 6-for-6 and Spencer Rankin earning three doubles in the second game. Nathan Nerona came back from a broken arm to earn the win in the second game, helping his own cause with two doubles and four RBI. This week will provide another test of the Chuckers’ mettle when they play the Spurs on their home turf in Cloverdale on Wednesday.

The Spurs are fourth at 17-6.

The challenges will continue next weekend as well, when Richmond hosts Okanagan on Saturday (noon start) and Kamloops in a doubleheader (also starting at noon) Sunday at Blundell Field.

With only three more home games in June and July, the bulk of the Chuckers’ remaining schedule features games out of town.

Silver for surprising Raiders Panthers

power way to provincials

Local flag football team second at under-14 finals The Richmond Raiders entered the BC Football provincial flag championships in Kelowna last weekend underdogs.

They left with silver medals.

The surprising Raiders, who went 7-0 en route to the under-14 final which they lost 33-16 to an outstanding South Delta team Sunday, finished eighth during the regular season. Head coach Steve Scarrow (assisted by Abdul Salih) did a masterful job of rallying the troops at provincials, and Jonathan Nakhleh, Sam Scarrow, Reace Mok, Nathan Schroeder, Malek Salih, Adanna Avon, Selyna Smith , Kalen Lacroix and Luvuoyo Ncapayi were rewarded for their efforts.

A second Richmond entry, Raiders Black, battled some of the strongest teams in the province to place ninth in the second tier and 25th overall.

The team was made up of Ben Kostiuck, Eric Materna, Dylan Jensen, Isaiah Daniels, Marcas Okell, Tony Montgomery,Shakur Lopez, Quabna Oppong and Michael Gill. The coaches were Joe Kostiuk and Harvey Gill.

U16 girls’ softball team jaw-dropping record

by Don Fennell Sports Editor

The Richmond Raiders under-14 flag football team surprised many with their second-place finish at the provincial championships last weekend in Kelowna.

Raiders Black placed ninth in the second tier of the under-14 division at last weekend’s BC Football provincial flag championships.

After being the only true pitcher last season, Caitlin Hanley has some relief in the bullpen for 2013.

Hanley did yoeman’s work, and managed to stay healthy in 2012, helping the Richmond Panthers win 75 per cent of their games.

But it meant almost every other player on the team had to step up and throw an inning or two to give Hanley a break.

This season, Hanley is joined by Priya Narsaiya (who played with the Panthers two seasons ago before moving up to play with the rep Islanders in 2012).

Together, the dynamic duo form one of the most impressive pitching staffs in the Richmond Girls’ Softball Association.

“They’re both very good pitchers and really complement each other,” says head coach John Doyle.

Add two more important ingredients in the form of strong fielding and timely hitting, and the Panthers again have the recipe for success, proving to be a powerhouse in the under-16 house division.

The Panthers will carry a sizzling 32-2 record into next month’s provincial championships in Chilliwack, after defeating New Westminster 11-0 in the district final Saturday at Burnaby’s Squint Lake. The game was decided early as the Richmond reps scored all 11 runs in the first three innings.

A ground-out RBI by Sophia Koutsandreas, a two-run single by Olivia Kraus, and an RBI single by Hanley in the first was followed by an RBI single from Narsaiya, a two-run triple by Koutsandreas and an RBI single by Katherine Doyle in the second inning.

Pitchers Hanley and Narsaiya earned the combined shutout.

Cao earns final shot at qualifying Coaches returning to guide U12s at worlds for 2013 RBC Canadian Open Richmond golfer Yi (David) Cao is one of 13 golfers to advance to the final Monday qualifer of the 2013 RBC Canadian Open.

Cao tied for third along with Matt Hoffman of Thornhill, Ont. (both shot rounds of 3-under 69) in the first of three regional qualifiers this past Monday at Gorge Vale Golf Club in Victoria. Cao was one of 13 players to finish 1-under or better in order

to play in the final qualifier July 22 at Heron Point Golf Links in Alberton, Ont. A total of 71 players competed over 18 holes of stroke play at Gorge Vale.

Andrew Georgiou of Cape Town, South Africa, and Jason Scrivener of Pittsburg shared co-medalist honours after posting 4-under 68’s to advance through to final qualifying. Josh Anderson of Murrieta, Calif.,

Jace Walker of St. Thomas, Ont., David Sheman of Newmarket, Ont., and Creighton Honeck of Austin, Texas all finished tied for fifth at 2-under par.

Rounding out the list of players advancing were Clint Schiller of Lloydminster, Sask., Daniel Payton of Keswick, Ont., Wes Homan of Cincinnati, Wes Heffernan of Calgary, and Ben Moser of Waterloo, Ont., who all carded 1-under 71’s.

by Don Fennell Sports Editor A pair of Richmond City baseball coaches will again be helping to guide the fortunes of the provincial under-12 team at the 2013 Continental Amateur Baseball Association World Series July 3 to 8 in Mason, Ohio.

John Braaten and Don Hass were part of the 2012 coaching staff for Team BC which defeated the Wisconsin Rivercats (an academy team) 11-3 in the

championship game. Team BC was 4-0 in round-robin play and was also undefeated in four medal round games in Sylvania, Ohio.

While in Mason, Team BC will be taking in at least one Major League Baseball game featuring the Cincinnati Reds as well as participating in other World Series events.

More than 140 players tried out for the roster, following early May tryouts in Richmond, Victoria, Nanaimo, Aldergrove and Kamloops.

OF PET THE WEEK

“MIKE” NEEDS A GOOD HOME WITH YOU!

“MIKE”, ID# 291244, NEUTERED MALE, ENGLISH SPOT CROSS, 10 MONTHS

Mike came to the Vancouver shelter after being purchased at an auction and then locked in a dark garage for a good part of his young life. Since being transferred to the Richmond shelter, he’s made huge strides and is now ready to find his forever home. Mike has taken part in our kids weekend camp and although not keen on being picked up, he does enjoy his pats from the children. Mike is young and may live up to 12 years so if you’re considering him for adoption, please understand that he’s a lifetime commitment. If you think that Mike is a great addition to your family, come visit him at the shelter!

A

round 100 volunteers had a blast

while working hard and getting their hands dirty at Volunteer Richmond’s second annual Day of Caring, presented in partnership with Ashton Service Group and the Richmond Chamber of Commerce at the Sharing Farm.

“We all want the community to flourish,” said Jocelyn Wong, Volunteer Richmond’s

general manager.

The event served as a wrap up to Volunteer Richmond’s Richmond Caring Companies program.

All staff and family of the companies that participated this year or were previously involved in the program were invited to help out at the Sharing Farm for the day.

“Businesses want to give back to their community,” Wong said.

“Oftentimes they don’t

know how to start.”

The Caring Companies program helps local businesses discover how best to give back to the community and support staff who want to give back.

The Day of Caring helps put everything the five-month program taught into practice.

“The goal moving forward is to have more of the business community engaged,”

Wong said.

Companies involved in the Day of Caring this year included: Back in Motion, Scotiabank, Sandman Signature, Opacity Design Group, Sutton Group/Seafair Realty, Misty Mountain, Innovation Networks and Beavis, Wong and Associates.
