Famous festival proves to be a hit Upwards of 80,000 people headed to Steveston to celebrate Canada’s birthday

A horse, goat and a pack of pooches had fun in the sun on Moncton Street Monday for the Steveston Salmon Festival parade, which also drew a few spectators.

An estimated 30,000 people lined the parade route and upwards of 80,000 people attended the 68th annual Canada Day celebration that once again proved to be a hit.

“It was a spectacular, spectacular day,” said spokesperson Janice Froese. “The general atmosphere this year was just amazing. People were really showing their pride and everyone seemed to be happy and having

a great time.”

The parade—and its 106 entries— went off without a hitch, as did the opening ceremony to begin a day of events in Steveston Park. Singersongwriter Andrew Allen rocked the stage as revellers chowed down on the festival’s food offerings.

Chow mein proved popular, as did the alder wood salmon. Both were sold out by early afternoon. And, as a testament to the festival’s popularity, other food vendors also ran short on supplies as the festivities wound down at 5 p.m.

Festival-goers also crowded the carnival and flocked to the new tram barn and Steveston Education Garden. The trade show, craft fair and children’s festival also packed them in.

Whether it was sunny skies or a holiday piggybacking a weekend, there was something sweeter in the air this year, said Froese.

“If people had fun, if people had a good time, a great day, then we did our job well.”

Weavers and Spinners repurpose invasive plants Guild members harvest nontraditional materials for a basket-weaving project

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Combing through the tall grass on the Middle Arm foreshore, members of the Richmond Weavers and Spinners Guild found materials for their next project.

A half-dozen women easily pulled bunches of tall yellow flag-iris plants from the ground last week near the No. 2 Road Bridge with help from the city’s environmental co-ordinator Eric Portelance.

The flowering perennial—an invasive plant not native to the land— will be dried and combined with other materials for a novel basketweaving project.

“I wanted us to do something different,” said Pauline Mullaney, the guild’s chair. “I hate waste, so doing something useful with invasive plants appeal to me.”

With a $1,900 grant from the city, the guild is using invasive plants as a substitute for traditional weaving materials such as cedar bark—

which can’t be sustainably harvested in urban centres—and creatively repurposing green waste. Weavers will also employ trimmings from a weeping willow, blackberry vines and ivy gathered from King George Park.

“The ivy is all coiled up in my garage, and that will be used to bind the baskets,” said Mullaney.

Participants will learn techniques from an artist involved in a similar project in Vancouver, and Mullaney hopes to mount an exhibition once the baskets are finished.

The yellow flag-iris—harvested by the guild last Friday—is common in B.C.’s southern Interior, according to

the Invasive Species Council of B.C. The plant is sold in nurseries and its seeds disperse in wind and water, making it a challenge to contain new infestations.

According to the council, large collections of the plant threaten plant and animal diversity by excluding native wetland species.

The 30-member guild holds

Terra Nova plant confirmed as cow parsnip, not giant hogweed The three-metre tall plants growing along a path at Terra Nova Natural Area are cow parsnip, according to the City of Richmond and a botanist for the Invasive Species Council of B.C. The Richmond Review reported about a possible giant hogweed sighting in last Friday’s paper.

Gail Wallin, executive director of the Invasive Species Council of B.C., credited the City of Richmond for having such a pro-active program, where sightings by the public of suspected giant hogweed are responded to within 24 hours. She said the city also has a strategy to deal with the toxic plant that adheres to WorkSafeBC guidelines.

Wallin said the botanist noted the patches of weed aren’t as dense and robust as found with giant hogweed, and that this variety of cow parsnip just happens to be a very tall example.

The cow parsnip was deliberately planted 10 years ago by volunteers as part of a project re-introducing native species. It didn’t take in some areas of Terra Nova Natural Area, but has grown to hogweed-like heights in the

monthly meetings at the Richmond Arts Centre, and also manages a drop-in studio, group projects, equipment rentals, library and workshops. New members are welcome.

Affordable housing not part of riverfront condo projects Council opts to collect $14.1-million in cash that could fund a purposebuilt complex

areas where it really thrived.

Giant hogweed has been found in Richmond before.

A patch was removed from a wooded area on Sea Island near the Flight Path Park in 2010. Some other giant hogweed was removed from private property that same year.

The giant hogweed stem hairs, leaves and flowers contain a “clear, highly toxic sap that, when in contact with the skin, can cause burns, blisters and scarring,” the website states. When toxin-exposed

skin is exposed to sunlight, that can cause welts, rashes and blistering that looks like third-degree burns. Exposed skin can remain sensitive to sunlight for up to 10 years. If the toxin gets into the eyes, it can cause blindness.

The City of Richmond has a giant hogweed response program and all known hogweed infestations on city land have been controlled by parks staff and the city works with private property owners to remove the plants

from their properties.

Anyone who sees a plant that looks like giant hogweed are asked to e-mail photos of giant hogweed, along with their location, to invasiveplants@richmond.ca or call the invasive plant hotline at 604-276-4316.

All reports of hogweed in Richmond are confirmed and addressed within 24 hours.

For a video showing the differences between cow parsnip and giant hogweed, see tinyurl.com/GiantVsCow.

Affordable housing will not be included in two major residential projects in Richmond, city council has decided.

River Green and Parc Riviera—two new riverfront communities now under construction—will no longer be required to include a total of 88,390 square feet of low-cost rental housing. It’s a diversion from the city’s usual practice of incorporating affordable units inside large developments.

But while the city will lose over 100 affordable homes, it will net $14.1 million from the developers instead. The cash will be deposited into a bank account whose funds can be used to construct purposebuilt affordable housing proj-

ects.

“As a general rule in the larger projects, the affordable housing is built within the project,” said Joe Erceg, general manager of planning and development, ahead of council’s unanimous approval of first reading June 24.

The change must still be put to a public hearing. If council does give final approval, it will then have the option of using the cash for a “significant affordable housing project,” said Erceg without giving further details.

“I’m not able to go into detail, but council will be fully in control in how those funds are deployed,” he said.

In a staff report, planner Sara Badyal noted the merits and justifications of making the change “will be addressed at a later date.”

Aspac Developments had been planning a stand-alone wood-frame building within its River Green development— near the Richmond Olympic Oval—to accommodate affordable housing. Similarly, Dava Developments was ready to build 67 affordable housing units on its River Drive property.

Ships to Shore draws 20,000 to Steveston

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Two years had passed since the mighty Adventuress tall ship sailed into Steveston. It returned last weekend—all 133 feet of her—for Ships to Shore.

Hundreds toured the 100-year-old vessel during the three-day event, which drew an estimated 20,000 visitors to the docks at Imperial Landing and Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site.

“It was absolutely amazing, and I know that the ships and their captains and crews felt really supported by the volunteers, and also very welcomed,” said Richmond Coun. Linda McPhail.

Adventuress is a twomasted schooner based in Port Townsend, Wash.

Operated by the nonprofit organization Sound Experience, the ship’s mission is to educate, inspire and empower people to make a difference for the future of the marine environment.

Eleven other ships drew interest, including the HMCS Oriole, the Canadian Navy’s sail training vessel and longest serving com-

missioned ship, while roving pirates and mermaids entertained visitors.

The City of Richmond organized Ships to Shore.

Traffic will be reduced to single-lane and there may be temporary lane closures.

Delays may occur. The use of an alternate route is strongly encouraged.

The free event’s busiest day was Monday, which coincided with the Steveston Salmon Festival Canada Day celebration.

T

his past long weekend, Canadians coast to coast celebrated the 146th anniversary of our nation’s founding.

There is much to celebrate. Earlier this year, Canada was ranked the third-best country to live in by the Organization for Economic Cooperation (OECD), and we are consistently ranked high in the United Nations’ Human Development Index.

By any yardstick you choose, Canadians enjoy a standard of life far above that of the rest of the world.

However, sometimes it seems we don’t realize how good we have it.

For the majority of us, our claim to

citizenship is merely an accident of birth – we are the lucky few who started life in a society that values peace, education, and public welfare, as well as prosperity.

If you ever want to truly understand how good we have it, talk to one of the seven million Canadians who immigrated from around the world.

For Canada’s immigrants, being a part of this great nation was a choice, one that may have brought some hardship, but also great reward.

Canada has always been an immigrant nation. The first people to settle in what we now know as Canada came not on a boat, but via the Bering Sea land bridge more than 20,000 years ago.

The French and English were the first European immigrants to arrive on our shores in the 1500s. By the late 1800s, Eastern Europeans were recruited to help expand Canada westward across the Prairies. As B.C. established Canada’s presence on the Pacific Rim, so, too, has it opened its doors to Asian immigration.

It hasn’t always been an easy transition, however.

In the past, when cultures clashed in Canada, what resulted was unjust and often violent. And while it is important to celebrate the great achievements of our forefathers each Canada Day, it is equally important to remember the many dark chapters in our history, so that we learn from

them and ensure they are never repeated.

Episodes such as the the Chinese head tax, the Komagata Maru incident, the residential school system and the shameful confiscation of property of Japanese-Canadian internees during the Second World War still resound today.

Today, as always, Canada is a nation of immigrants. It is what makes us unique, and what makes us great. Each culture that has come to Canada has brought with it its own customs and traditions, and in so doing, has added to Canadian society and to the Canadian identity.

And we are all the better for it.

all it the Beach Blanket Budget.

Despite having to campaign once again to win a seat in a byelection, Premier Christy Clark has ordered the legislature to sit without her through most of July to pass the budget that was tabled before the election.

This rare summer session ensures a couple of things. First, there will be less time for real financial results to contradict the rosy predictions made by Finance Minister Mike de Jong in February.

Second, it ensures that there will be minimum public attention paid to the deliberations, as people focus on their summer vacations and put the business of running the province aside again.

B.C. Liberal house leader Mike de Jong insists there has been no decision made on whether the legislature will sit again in the fall. The standard schedule, put in place under former premier Gordon Campbell, calls for MLAs to assemble in October and November, to consider legislation, after a spring devoted to the budget and ministry spending.

This was a serious reform that went along

Black Press files Premier Christy Clark must win a byelection in Westside-Kelowna before she can return to her seat in the B.C. legislature.

with four-year scheduled elections. But Campbell soon abandoned this noble approach, with fall sessions dwindling to a few days to deal with urgent issues or disappearing altogether.

I expected Clark to reverse that after she led the party to victory in May and consigned the Campbell era to the history books. Open, accountable government and all that.

So why the summer session? I’m inclined to

agree with NDP house leader John Horgan, who meets privately with de Jong in his role of government house leader to thrash out schedules.

Here’s Horgan’s message to Clark and her government as he emerged from the latest meeting: “You ran on a platform that you claimed you were ready to implement.

And what we’re getting instead is, ‘let’s jam ’em in here while the media’s on holidays, while people are at the beach thinking

about other things. We’ll pass our bogus budget and then we’ll see you in February’.”

Is the budget accurate, or “bogus,” or somewhere in between? They’re always projections, so that can’t be determined until next year. But the proposal to keep the increase in overall spending to less than two per cent, with nearly all the increase going to health and education, is difficult to accept.

During his time, Camp-

bell topped the Fraser Institute’s ranking of most fiscally responsible premiers, limiting spending growth to 4.4 per cent.

During those same years, average provincial economic growth was only 4.1 per cent, meaning that under the supposedly tight-fisted, tax-cutting Campbell, government continued to grow to more than 20 per cent of gross domestic product.

Clark has indicated several times since her surprise election win that she intends to make government smaller. That’s the difference between her “core review” of government programs and the one conducted by Campbell in the painful first years of his mandate.

This is why I mentioned last week that one of the more significant instructions given to Clark’s cabinet ministers was to examine turning the Liquor Distribution Branch into a separate corporation with its own board of directors.

That in itself may slightly increases the size of government. But it could be a preliminary step to selling the whole thing off and reducing the government’s role to taxing and regulating booze sales.

You can imagine how that would go over with the NDP, with former liquor store union boss George Heyman among the loudest opposition MLAs. This is the kind of change that should be debated in public, not by press release.

Better Grades Happier Kids

City needs to look at seniors’ housing, library expansion Editor: Minoru Fire Hall No. 1, Minoru Aquatic Centre, and Minoru Place Activity Centre are all obsolete and undersized for current and future Richmond residents needs so it is great to hear that they are finally going to be replaced.

The city should also look at partnering for seniors housing at the new activity centre, library expansion needs, and the current and future integration of the Minoru Arena and Richmond Cultural Centre to ensure all these facilities work well together for central Richmond.

Additionally, the little information provided to date regarding the pool size and number of lanes, and the building layouts suggests that much more consultation with user groups and the public is needed as these projects proceed. The plan for temporary replacement using Steveston and South Arm pools and the former police station also needs more consideration since this could result in a big loss of services during construction. Our population is growing by 4,000

people annually, and the pool and arena leases at Riverport only have 15 years remaining, so permanent improvements to Steveston and South Arm pools should be considered now, too.

The city decision to appoint a single construction manager for all three Minoru projects makes sense for the economies achievable by using one design and construction team, the additional purchasing and financing power of a large project, and the ability to coordinate and minimize Minoru Park disruptions. However, the inclusion of a provision for a donation to an Olympic museum in the mix is completely inappropriate.

The city plan to borrow half the funds at current cheap rates for 10 years also makes sense, but Richmond is late commissioning these projects now that the U.S. economy is recovering and won’t get the interest rates or construction and material prices it would have received two years ago.

Likewise, the obvious best time to approach the federal or provincial

governments for funding assistance for older adult or assisted housing would have been before their elections in May 2011 and May 2013, and now the next federal and provincial elections are likely two and four years away, respectively.

It is also disappointing to see the slow work progress on the new City Centre Community Centre and the recent announcement that the project is behind schedule. Had its construction been on time this new large centre could likely have temporarily served the older adult community during construction of their new building. The city now faces additional cost for their temporary relocation due to delays.

Overall the replacement of Fire Hall No. 1 and the aquatic and seniors activity centres are needed projects, and now is the best time to proceed, given that the city didn’t proceed a few years ago during the depth of the recession when construction costs and financing were cheapest.

Do not help yourself to other people’s food Editor: Over the past two years I have had the privilege of being the community gardens co-ordinator for the Richmond Food Security Society managing Richmond’s community garden sites.

These garden plots are rented by a diverse group of people who grow many varieties of foods for themselves and their families.

As citizens of Richmond we pride ourselves on the beauty we have in our community. Much of this beauty comes from the nature in our parks.

As part of these parks our community gardens enhance the natural beauty and build relationships among gardeners. Unfortunately these community gardens have been subject to theft over the years.

Grade 1 - 12

Many gardeners have had plants removed and produce stolen at the peak of the season. This is very discouraging and they would like to have it stop.

If you take produce from community gardeners’ plots, please consider that they have invested a great deal of time, hard work and money into growing their own food. Please do not help yourself to produce you have not grown. If you are experiencing hunger, contact us at the Richmond Food Security Society and we can help you out.

If you are interested in having your own community garden plot, you can sign up at richmondfoodsecurity.org Erika Simms Community Gardens Co-ordinator Richmond Food Security Society

Summer Reading Club for Kids kicks off on Saturday

Faith groups gather to nourish more than soul

Children of all ages are invited to join the Summer Reading Club at all Richmond Public Library branches.

The official Summer Reading Club Kick-Off party on Saturday, July 6 will feature free 45-minute magic shows by Norden the Magician at the following times and locations: Brighouse (main) branch performance hall at 10:30 a.m.; Steveston Branch at 12 p.m.; Ironwood Branch at 2 p.m. and Cambie Branch at 3:45 p.m. The magic show is a free, drop-in event.

For more Summer Reading Club details call 604-231-6412 or visit www.yourlibrary.ca/ kids. “‘Up, Up and Away!’ is the theme of this year’s Summer Reading Club,” said acting head of Kids’ Place, Melanie Au. “Kids can read any books they like at home, in the library, at the beach or anywhere else throughout the summer. Each child gets a cool reading booklet to keep track of the books they read, plus weekly stickers, the chance to win book prizes, and a medal at the end.

“This province-wide Summer Reading Club is in its 22nd year and going strong. Kids love to discover new books and get fun stickers just for reading,” added Au. “Our hope is to inspire kids to develop a lifelong love of reading and an appreciation for libraries.”

Last year nearly 5,000 kids joined the summer reading club at Richmond Public Library.

Visit any Richmond Library branch to register and pick up your reading booklet.

Food drive scheduled for Sunday, July 7 from 1-4 p.m. at Safeway on Blundell Road, near No. 2

Smell ‘n’ tell 1

“We’re forging bonds, we’re learning about each other, and it can only go up. Yes, we have different philosophies, but we have the same philosophy of helping others.”

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

ing others,” Steen said.

Steen reached out to the Richmond Food Bank, who said it’s at this time of year when their stocks are the most depleted, versus Thanksgiving and Christmas when most donations come in.

“This is the time they felt would be the greatest help to them,” she said.

Roger Nathan, a parishioner at St. Anne’s Anglican Church, said the Safeway store will have $5 and $10 packages of goods available for purchase, comprising a good selection of nonperishable goods.

But in particular, the most healthy, nutritious and sought-after foods sought are: • tinned beans, fish and meats • powdered or tinned milk • tinned fruits and vegetables • soups and chunkie soups • macaroni and cheese dinners For those who want to make a cash donation, tax receipts can be issued on the spot.

Nathan, who has been driving for the food bank as a volunteer for the past couple of years, says the demand on the food bank isn’t diminishing, with up to 1,500 people grabbing their groceries there each week

The goal of nourishing the city’s less fortunate citizens is what brought together members of four local faith groups, who are inviting the public to help gather food for the Richmond Food Bank at a special event next weekend.

For the past few months, members of four Richmond-based faith communities have worked closely to organize the single-day food drive, which will feature live music provided by the talented members of the four congregations, along with appearances by local politicians as well as a fire truck from Richmond Fire-Rescue.

The food bank drive was the brainchild of Francie Steen, of the Beth Tikvah Congregation.

She said the four congregations— Beth Tikvah Synagogue, Our Saviour Lutheran Church, St. Anne’s Anglican Church and St. Joseph the Worker Parish—have been meeting for years to get to know one another, and bonds are forming, and she thought the food bank drive could be an extension of their work together.

“We’re forging bonds, we’re learning about each other, and it can only go up.

Yes, we have different philosophies, but we have the same philosophy of help-

Better at Home program exists to reduce isolation, enhance mobility among seniors Volunteer Richmond Information Services has been named Richmond’s Better at Home lead agency.

Funded by the Province of British Columbia and managed by the United Way of the Lower Mainland, the Better at Home program exists to reduce isolation, enhance mobility, and support independence among B.C.’s multicultural seniors population.

Beginning in September, Volunteer Richmond will offer two new services to local seniors: transportation and friendly visiting. A third service, light housekeeping, will be launched in the months that follow.

“These services will give Richmond seniors the option of living independently while still staying connected to the community,” says Elizabeth Specht, executive director of Volunteer Richmond. “We know from studies and public consultations that there’s a great need for these services, particularly transportation. It’s exciting to know that they’ll soon be available.”

There will be a fee for both

“The more volunteers we’re able to recruit, the more clients we’ll be able to help. These are positions in which you’ll see, on a day-to-day basis, the difference you’re making in the lives of seniors.”

— Elizabeth Specht

the transportation and light housekeeping services, with subsidies available for lowincome clients.

“Accessibility is our primary focus,” says Specht. “These services are for all seniors, so of course they need to be affordable. But they must also be culturally welcoming. We intend to engage and work with a wide range of community partners to ensure that’s the case.”

Though there’s still much planning to be done prior to the September launch, Volunteer Richmond has already

started recruiting volunteer drivers and friendly visitors.

“Volunteers will be the heart and soul of Better at Home,” says Specht. “The more volunteers we’re able to recruit, the more clients we’ll be able to help. These are positions in which you’ll see, on a day-today basis, the difference you’re making in the lives of seniors.

You’ll know— and feel —that you’re having a profound impact.”

Further details on Richmond Better at Home services, including client registration procedures, will be published in the coming weeks at www. volunteerrichmond.ca.

Sporting red and white from head to toe, countless enthusiastic Richmondites populated the streets of Steveston on July 1st, knowing that the Canada Day Salmon Festival is one of the best annual events Richmond has to offer.

“There were a lot more people this year, it was great to see everyone out in red and white having fun,” said Alvin Li, a youth development worker for Steveston Community Centre, who helped organize the successful patriotic celebration. “I like seeing lots of people happy and smiling in their red and white, out to have fun.”

While the festival annually showcases countless (local and otherwise) talented artists, one of the most popular and anticipated events this year was the appearance of acclaimed singer/songwriter Andrew Allen. To the ecstatic whoops of the crowd, Allen and his band performed various singles that had the thrilled crowd singing and clapping along with them.

“My favourite thing about Richmond is the people here, they’re all just great.” Allen said after his performance. “It was a real honour to come back, I’m so proud of being Canadian.”

Although regretful of not having the time to visit the variety of booths the festival had to offer, Allen concluded that he thought: “The festival was awesome. The whole event seems really awesome and the food smells really good.”

The festivities proved enjoyable for more than just Richmond’s general public and its performers.

She added: “Volunteering is about finding what you love, and the festival’s a great place to volunteer because you get to meet new people and try new things.”

ince its formation in 1953, the Steveston Judo Club has been one of Canada’s elite. And on the eve of this week’s Canadian championships, Thursday through Sunday at the Richmond Olympic Oval, the resolve to be the best has never been greater.

Eleven athletes from the host club—eight in singles competition—will participate at the nationals. Among them is Lisa Nakajima, who has reached the podium at both the national and international levels and was the 2010 Judo BC Female Athlete of the Year.

“She’s been a great role model for the athletes here and in B.C. in general,” says Steveston Judo Club president Al Sakai, adding Nakajima’s success has been an inspiration to many.

Sakai is proud that the club will be so wellrepresented at this year’s national championships, after going through a lengthy stretch in which it typically sent only an athlete or two.

“We’re kind of on the upswing again,” he says.

“The sport and the club has addressed the need to change and now we also have a group for six-

to eight-year-olds and women’s only sessions. I think we’ve grown about 50 per cent over the last five years from a little less than 100 members to now over 150. And once you improve your membership, you’re going to get the elite athletes.”

But, agrees Sakai, numbers alone don’t guarantee success. The reason the Steveston Judo Club has remained at the top of its sport is a mindset of never resting on your laurels.

“We’ve always been serious about proving the best training and coaching for all the athletes,” he says.

The athletes at this week’s Canadian championships range in age from under 15 to over 50, representing clubs from coast to coast.

Richmond has a long association with judo, with Steveston being one of the first dojos in Canada.

The club still boasts five of its original members.

Judo’s origins date back to 1882 when a young scholar, Jigoro Kano, developed a system of physical education for the newly-emerging Japanese public school system. It was based on two key principals: maximum efficiency and mutual welfare.

Judo does not involve punching, kicking or striking techniques but instead features throws, holds, chokes and grappling. There are some 22,000 Canadians who practice judo in 400 clubs.

Brits returning for rugby exhibitions

by Don Fennell Sports Editor The British are sending two full sides this way for a battle on the rugby pitch.

On the heels of last summer’s 17-14 victory by Adams Grammar School over a Richmond Rugby Club team at King George Park, the Brits will this time be represented by Latymer School for a pair of exhibitions against Richmond’s under-17 and under-19 teams July 15 at South Arm Park. The under-17s will kick off at 4:30 p.m., followed by the under-19s at about 5:45 p.m.

“This is the first time we’ve hosted Latymer, but as with any British touring side we can expect a tough couple of matches,” says Joe Clemente, junior co-ordinator of the Richmond Rugby Club. “They’re always very skilled with good ball-handling and tactical play and able to create space with a tremendous ability for attacking options. And, of course, they’re going to be very solid defensively.”

Clemente is hoping for a strong showing from the Richmond teams, but says regardless the matches are going to provide the locals with good learning experiences.

See Page 19

The Richmond Rugby Club will again host the Brits in a pair of exhibition matches later this month. The Brits, represented by Adams Grammar School, defeated a host side 17-14 last summer at King George Park.

Roadrunners start quest to regain top spot The Richmond Roadrunners are suddenly looking up in the B.C. Intermediate A Lacrosse League, following a pair of losses last week.

But while top spot now belongs to Maple Ridge (12-2), Richmond (11-3) is already embarking on what it hopes is another long winning stretch following a 25-9 dismantling of the Langley Thunder on Sunday at the Langley Events Centre.

Tyler Vogrig, reconfirmed his place as the league’s top scorer by netting 10 goals to reach the 50 goal plateau. He added three assists to improve his point total to 83, 17 more than the league’s second-leading scorer and Richmond teammate Spencer Bromley who has 66 points in 12 games. Bromley scored five goals and had four assists against Langley.

Basketball BC celebrates Olynyk’s ascent to NBA

Bowling with power The Richmond Cricket Club’s Division 4 team attempted to make the most of home-field advanatage during a recent match at Minoru Park.

Don Fennell photo

Extensive provincial programs fulfilling lifelong dreams Richmond’s Lawrie Johns, executive director of Basketball BC, was like a lot of basketball fans in the province when Kelly Olynyk’s name was called out in Thurday’s NBA Draft—he cheered loud and proud.

“This is an exciting day for Kelly and his family,” said Johns after the Dallas Mavericks (before ultimately trading him to the Boston Celtics) selected the Kamloops resident 13th overall.

“Kelly represents a true Canadian success story as he worked so hard, overcame many obstacles and is beginning his lifelong dream of playing professional basketball in the NBA. We are so very proud and happy as Kelly continues his extraordinary journey.”

Lawrie referred to Olynyk as an example of an individual who developed his skills through Basketball BC’s extensive programs, following a pathway from Steve Nash Youth Basketball to the provincial programs including playing for Basketball BC provincial teams and participating in the Basketball BC/Canada Basketball Centre for

Performance.

Olynyk has played on the senior men’s national team and is likely to again as Canada attempts to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

“Congratulations and celebrations in our sport are not accomplished without both parental support and excellent coaching,” noted Johns. “Kelly is surrounded by a great support team in Ken and Arlene, as well as both of his sisters who are also exceptional athletes.

“Heading the list of Kelly’s coaches are his mom and dad, Del Komarniski at South Kamloops Secondary, and the many Basketball BC coaches he experienced throughout his career and, of course, Mark Few at Gonzaga University (from where he was drafted into the NBA).”

Olynyk is following in the footsteps of Steve Nash, Robert Sacre, Kim Smith, Theresa Kleindeinst (Gabriele) and many others who developed through BC opportunities and continued careers in university, the pros and Canada’s national teams.

Richmond ruggers unite From Page 16 “Of particular importance to us is giving the kids a chance to experience rugby and hopefully promote and heighten awarness of the sport so more kids get into it,” says Clemente, who also coaches the highly-successful Hugh McRoberts Strikers’ high school program.

While Richmond will be underdogs, the

team that played Adams last August performed very well and actually led 14-10 with 10 minutes to play.

Al Smith heads up the coaching staff of the Richmond Rugby Club, with assistance from Blair Knowles and Geoff Girling. Until recently, Kevin Nelson, who is now the head coach of the Richmond Rugby Club, also assisted.

Barney is one of 7 babies bunnies born at the Maple Ridge SPCA. He and his siblings were placed into a foster home to be raised with their mother. Barney has been well socialized, is friendly, and is easy to handle. He enjoys rubs and even allows us to carry him. As a rabbit, he will require an adequate amount of hay because they need a lot of fibre in their diet as well as a few hours each day outside the cage for exercise. Be sure to “rabbit-proof� your home by covering electrical cords and placing household plants out of reach. If you think that Barney would be a good fit for your family, come down to the centre and meet him!

Famous festival proves to be a hit Upwards of 80,000 people headed to Steveston to celebrate Canada’s birthday

Rich Lam photo A young rider took part in the Children's Bike Parade in the 68th annual Steveston Salmon Festival held on Canada Day.

A horse, goat and a pack of pooches had fun in the sun on Moncton Street Monday for the Steveston Salmon Festival parade, which also drew a few spectators.

An estimated 30,000 people lined the parade route and upwards of 80,000 people attended the 68th annual Canada Day celebration that once again proved to be a hit.

“It was a spectacular, spectacular day,” said spokesperson Janice Froese. “The general atmosphere this year was just amazing. People were really showing their pride and everyone seemed to be happy and having

a great time.”

The parade—and its 106 entries— went off without a hitch, as did the opening ceremony to begin a day of events in Steveston Park. Singersongwriter Andrew Allen rocked the stage as revellers chowed down on the festival’s food offerings.

Chow mein proved popular, as did the alder wood salmon. Both were sold out by early afternoon. And, as a testament to the festival’s popularity, other food vendors also ran short on supplies as the festivities wound down at 5 p.m.

Festival-goers also crowded the carnival and flocked to the new tram barn and Steveston Education Garden. The trade show, craft fair and children’s festival also packed them in.

Whether it was sunny skies or a holiday piggybacking a weekend, there was something sweeter in the air this year, said Froese.

“If people had fun, if people had a good time, a great day, then we did our job well.”
