HUGE SELECTION OF HOME GYMS, TREADMILLS, BIKES, ELLIPTICALS AND FITNESS ACCESSORIES

B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix visited unionized workers at the Richmond IKEA picket line last weekend, a day after 27 workers were expelled from their union for returning to work.

The labour dispute between approximately 325 workers represented by Teamsters Local 213 and the Swedish furniture giant is now in its eighth week, after pickets went up around the Jacombs Road store on May 13.

After meeting union members Saturday, Dix commented on Twitter that he was “impressed by their commitment.”

Other NDP politicians, including Vancouver East MP Libby Davies, have also personally offered support to picketers.

But the dispute has gone on long enough for some. The union recently expelled 27 workers for crossing the picket line and returning to work.

“IKEA continues to welcome any coworkers who wish to return to work at any time,” said IKEA spokesperson Madeleine Löwenborg-Frick.

She said the union has rejected an offer that includes annual wage increases and competitive benefits. Under the company’s proposal, 58 per cent of employees would make $18 an hour, 25 per cent would make over $21 an hour and just

“This is backwards bargaining and we can’t see how this will entice anybody to come back to work.”

— Anita Dawson five per cent would make the lowest rate of $10.79 an hour.

“Unfortunately both parties remain at an impasse with regards to the rejected offer. IKEA continues to make ourselves available to the union, however, they have not shown any interest in working together to find new creative solutions to reach an agreement.”

But Teamsters Local 213 representative Anita Dawson said the company wants its proposed tiered wage system accepted for bargaining to continue. Dawson said workers went on strike in 2007 to eliminate such a wage system—and they don’t want it back.

“The company has continued to further reduce their offer,” she said. “This is backwards bargaining and we can’t see how this will entice anybody to come back to work.”

The Richmond store is one of two IKEA locations in North America that is unionized. The other is in Montreal, Que. The local store remains open during the dispute, but its restaurant and kids’ play area are closed. Other services, such as the returns and exchanges, have also been disrupted.

On the picket line, workers were holding signs this week that included: “Giving us lower wages to pay for the new store!”

City issues new call for street eats Japadog is so far the only business to set up at busy Richmond intersection

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter The hotdogs are lonely on No. 3 Road. Japadog, the purveyor of buns and wieners dressed with teriyaki sauce and seaweed, is the only business to make an appearance on local sidewalks so far this summer as part of a city pilot project.

So this week, city hall issued a fresh request for expressions of interest to add up to four meal merchants and road retailers on street corners at No. 3 Road and Westminster Highway.

Bids close July 19, and—if the city has any takers—additional vendors could be up and running by August.

Earlier this year city council approved a one-year pilot project to allow vendors near the Canada Line terminus. Japadog and two other vendors answered the city’s call, but so far only the hotdog hawker has made an appearance. City spokesperson Kim Decker, however, said the Richmond Hospice Association still hopes to set up a fresh flower cart later this summer.

This is the city’s first foray into the market of street vendors, which until now have been restricted to moving ice cream trucks. Other cities, including Vancouver, have responded to the trend by adopting new rules to accommodate street-side sellers.

According to the bid document at Richmond City Hall, food vendors should be able to offer food that’s “healthy and grown locally” and sold in environmentally-friendly packaging.

Japadog, which aims to make the world “alive and happy through hotdogs” also operates a cart at YVR, next to the airport’s parkade.

Counterattack nets 100 for impaired driving

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Despite the stiff penalties in place, there’s no shortage of people continuing to drive after drinking or taking drugs, according to the results from the 2013 Summer Counterattack campaign by the RCMP at Lower Mainland hotspots including the Knight Street Bridge corridor in Richmond.

100 drivers were cited for being impaired by alcohol or drugs during the three-day enforcement from June 28 to July 1.

“Those are bittersweet results,” said RCMP Cpl. Robert McDonald of Lower Mainland Traffic Services. “It’s definitely frustrating knowing that people still drink and take drugs, and then get behind the wheel. On the other hand, my fellow police officers take pride in knowing we may have prevented dozens of potential tragic long weekend crashes.”

“It’s definitely frustrating knowing that people still drink and take drugs, and then get behind the wheel.”

— Cpl. Robert McDonald Officers issued 29 three-day roadside prohibitions, one seven-day roadside prohibition, one 30-day roadside prohibition, 38 90-day roadside prohibitions, eight criminal charges for impaired driving, nine 12-hour prohibitions for new drivers, five 24-hour prohibitions, and nine drug-related 24-hour suspensions.

McDonald said the enforcement efforts will last the entire summer, and it won’t just be weekends that will be targeted.

“That includes weekdays, early evenings, any time, any location. We will continue to police those who cannot police themselves,” he said.

148-foot cell tower to be built near Fraser River

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

East Richmond resident Mary Anne Hernandez sent us this photo of giant calla lilies growing in her front yard. The snow-white blooms are taller than Hernandez, who stands five feet tall.

Richmond City Hall has issued a development permit allowing a cell tower rivalling heights of Lulu Island’s tallest buildings.

Standard Land Company Inc. has won approval to build the structure to a height of 45 metres (148 feet) at 16300 River Rd., an East Richmond address across from the Fraser’s North Arm and No. 7 Road

Pier Park.

The $300,000 tower will accommodate three carriers: Telus, Rogers and Mobilicity, according to a city staff report.

Standard Land Company first made its application two years ago, but it was referred back to staff for technical revisions. The city finally issued the company a permit June 14.

Although the tower nears the maximum height of buildings in the City Cen-

tre—47 metres (150 feet)— new high-rises could surpass it in the future.

In February, city council approved a study of higher buildings in response to a bid from Townline Homes to build taller towers across from Richmond Centre mall.

Any increase, however, requires the backing of the Vancouver Airport Authority and Transport Canada, which also must study the idea.

Trio in drifting speedboat rescued by hovercraft Three Burnaby residents who left Steveston on a fishing trip on Tuesday wound up getting an unforgettable experience.

The trio were wearing t-shirts, shorts and lifejackets when they departed on a trip that they expected would end before sundown.

But a few hours later, their six-metre speedboat broke down, and they were left floating with the current.

It wasn’t until about 3 a.m. on Wednesday that the Canadian Coast Guard hovercraft Siyay was able to located the drifting vessel.

They were dried off and warmed up aboard the hovercraft, and their boat towed to Sandheads.

Volunteers from Station 10 of the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue relieved the Coast Guard crew and brought the trio and and the boat to Steveston almost 16 hours after they departed.

Station 10 volunteers said this story should serve as a reminder to all boaters to stay safe and be prepared on the water.

Boats should be checked for their seaworthiness before department, and that all proper safety equipment is present.

Warm and waterproof clothing should always be packed.

Someone at home should be notified of where you are going and when you plan to return home.

A VHF radio shold be available in the event help is needed.

If you only have a cell phone, keep it turned off so that it’s not constantly searching for a signal, and

Three Burnaby residents were returned to Steveston by the volunteer crew from the B.R. Hastings after the Coast Guard hovercraft Siyay rescued them from this disabled six-metre speedboat after being adrift on the Fraser River overnight Wednesday.

Onni is seeking to rezone its new commercial units in Steveston to allow uses other than those related to the fishing and boating industries.

Onni to stage open houses on its Imperial Landing proposal Developer making bid to rezone space in its new riverfront buildings

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter The Onni Group will stage two open houses next week in Steveston as part of a bid to rezone its newly-constructed Imperial Landing properties.

The developer’s six low-rise buildings—built along Bayview Street on the last piece of land at Imperial Landing—feature apartments on upper floors and

commercial units on the ground floor. But the commercial zoning allows for only maritime-related businesses.

Onni submitted a rezoning application to the city in March to allow more commercial uses in the ground floor space of the six buildings, which are now largely complete.

On a website dedicated to Onni’s new proposal, waterfrontrezoning. com, the developer contends rezoning the commercial space to allow a broader range of commercial retail uses “will better serve the community’s needs.”

“We would like your help in creating a more complete community that reflects the values of our neighbours and welcomes

residents and visitors to Imperial Landing and the Steveston area,” according to Onni.

In the last decade Onni has tried repeatedly to change the site’s zoning, with no success. City council has yet to consider a staff report on the latest proposal.

The properties are part of land that previously belonged to B.C. Packers, once the largest fishing and fish processing company in the province.

The first public open house is Thursday, July 11 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. A second is scheduled for Saturday, July 13 from noon to 2:30 p.m.

Both will be held in Building 5 at Imperial Landing, 4280 Bayview St.

Delays expected on Russ Baker One of Richmond’s busiest roads will soon be filled with crews working to repave it, prompting officials to warm motorists and cyclists of delays and lane closures.

The repaving of Russ Baker Way—from Miller Road to the No. 2 Road Bridge—will begin later this month and take up to three months to complete.

The Sea Island road, controlled by the Vancouver Airport Authority, will experience lane closures both day and night, reduced speed limits and the full closure of cycling lanes.

The project will begin mid-July.

The airport authority is promising a minimum of two lanes will be open in each direction between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m., and a minimum of one lane in each direction at night.

Victoria asks Richmond for museum input Royal B.C. Museum consulting with residents in Richmond, a city with plans of its own

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Victoria’s Royal B.C. Museum is holding a community consultation event next week in Richmond—a city with museum ambitions of its own.

The Victoria-based museum is on a drive to revitalize its aging building and systems in the province’s capital with new and improved buildings and a new collections, archive and research centre.

The July 10 event in Richmond

is the last of seven consultations to be held throughout B.C. that aim to collect public feedback on the 125-year-old museum and its multimillion dollar plans.

More than 350,000 visitors pass through the museum’s doors each year to take in displays from a collection of seven million objects, five million photographs and archives information, according to the museum.

Earlier this year Richmond council again considered the possibility of building a destination museum on Lulu Island. Although far from being approved, a consultant has recommended a $59-million, 75,000-square-foot facility that would host popular touring exhibits. Another possibility being considered by civic politicians is a smaller facility that would replace the existing Richmond Museum next to Brighouse library.

More than 350,000 visitors pass through the museum’s doors each year to take in displays from a collection of seven million objects, five million photographs and archives information.

Meanwhile the Richmond Olympic Oval Corporation is forging ahead with an Olympic museum, which is being built inside the oval and slated for completion in late 2014.

Royal B.C. Museum’s Richmond event is open to the public, and takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. at Richmond Cultural Centre, 7700 Minoru Gate.

“Bigger thinking, Better design, Bolder ambitions”

Steveston’s past explored in tours Steveston Museum is hosting walking tours of Richmond’s beloved fishing village throughout the summer.

On Thursdays and Saturdays at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.,“Murder, Mayhem and Morality in Old Steveston” will delve into the seedy underbelly of Steveston’s dark past. During the tour, visitors will discover unsolved murders, learn about ladies of dubious virtue and uncover the vices of drinking and gambling that once gave Steveston a rough reputation.

Also on Thursdays and Saturdays at 12:30 p.m., visitors can take in the“Boardwalks, Bar Rooms and Boats” tour. This

tour gives glimpses of Steveston’s history from its glory days to its darkest hours.

Visitors will tread through time, discovering Steveston as it grew from a tiny fishing and farming village into a bustling and vibrant cannery town. The tour will also explore Steveston’s popularity as a film set.

Tours cost $5 per person and leave from Town Square, the park surrounding Steveston Museum and Visitor Centre at 3811 Moncton St. Each tour runs for approximately one hour. Reserve by calling 604-271-8280 or in person at the Visitor Centre.

EDITORIAL: Boost in security is coming News of a terrorism plot involving the B.C. legislature and pressure cookers filled with nails has sent shock waves through the province, and nowhere is the news hitting with more impact than in Victoria, where the iconic Parliament Buildings draw tourists year round.

A Canada Day event there on Monday (the event the terrorists were targeting) attracted about 40,000 people to the legislative lawns.

B.C. residents may say “it can’t happen here,” but it can and it does. People in Boston likely felt much the same about the Boston Marathon, before the bombing incident this year, which apparently inspired the B.C. couple alleged to be at the centre of this plot.

Whether inspired by religion, politics or just mischief, acts of terror are on the rise in North America. Since the infamous acts of Sept. 11, 2001, a host of plots have been uncovered and several attacks, such as the Boston one, have actually been carried out.

Three people were killed and 170 injured in Boston.

This has led to a dramatic increase in security at the borders and airports, in particular, but also at large public events such as the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.

The original budget for security at the Olympics was projected at $175 million. The actual cost was $900 million.

Events such as Canada Day celebrations have not been seen as likely targets for acts of terror, but they do attract large crowds, such as Steveston’s annual Salmon Festival.

Security has usually been pretty straightforward at such events.

But it seems likely it will have to be boosted in the future, whether to ensure that wannabe terrorists have no chance to get near

an event, or drunken partyers are kept from spoiling the fun for others.

We may not want more security, but as citizens we appreciate extra efforts to make us safe.

W

ith the temperatures going up, finally, we’re all craving, and ready for, the fruits of the summer.

The best time of the year is when those berries start to come in. Nothing, and I mean nothing, beats fresh berries picked straight from the plant. Just coming back from Hope over the long weekend, the abundance of fresh fruit is overwhelming.

My cooler can only take so much!

This year has been an exceptionally good year for strawberries, and a real

deal for consumers who can both satisfy their craving for fresh fruit that doesn’t get trucked thousands of kilometres and get the lowest price. These are the moments when we should really be congratulating our local farmers on a job well done!

According to last year’s health survey for Richmond, only 21 per cent of adults reported that they were getting the daily recommended amount of fruits and vegetables in their diets. This is an alarming statistic, which I thought to be quite low, given the abundance of available produce, particularly in the summer and fall months.

Over the next couple of months we can expect to see an abundance of local fruits and berries.

As well, a variety of fruits will be coming from the Okanagan Valley. It’s worth it to keep an eye out for local blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, plums, apricots, peaches, apples, and pears.

While many people can take advantage of the Upicks and farmers markets, vulnerable people, including youth, seniors, new immigrants, and people with

it’s been a berry good year.

disabilities, are especially prone to lower consumption of fresh produce; usually because prices are so high. Part of this is because transportation is costly.

One way that we, as a community, can help out is to purchase extra fruits that are in season. Take out your canner or attend one of the Richmond Food Security Society’s many workshops on preserving fruits and vegetables and then donate those canned goods to the local food bank and

community meals. You’re even welcome to keep a jar or two for yourself. Having a year round supply of fruit and vegetables makes a huge difference in the health of Richmond families which helps to address child poverty and family poverty.

Enhancing our individual and community food security are important activities for all citizens. Giving back and reaching out to others through respect and dignity are the only ways that we

are going to beat poverty.

Taking the time to extend the life of your seasonal fruit, perhaps teaching others if you are a seasoned pro, will help all people have access to fruits and vegetables and support our local farmers and businesses.

Colin Dring is with Richmond Food Security Society.

Make Garden City Lands a great space Editor: Why is it that as soon as residents of an urban area face the prospect of having open space, their immediate reaction is what should we put “on” it?

As various proposals are currently being considered, we should step back and recognize the unique possibility that Richmond has with the Garden City Lands. Very seldom does an existing urban community have the opportunity to suddenly acquire a large open space in the centre of the city.

Recently a poll was released identifying the top ten city parks in the world and Vancouver’s Stanley Park was at the top of the list. I have had the good fortune to visit most of these parks and there are a number of common features: •They have very few physical buildings.

•They are designed for walking and jogging, not for playing fields, hockey arenas or swimming pools.

•They are very visible and easy to access.

•They feature trees, water features, open space and walking paths.

•The local community identifies very closely to these parks and is extremely protective.

•There are no community gardens or other farming activities.

•Once a building is built, the land will never return to open space. The same can be said for artificial playing fields.

Minoru Park was once a farm, but today it is

“surrounded” by a swimming pool, senior’s centre, hockey area, fire hall, tennis club, fenced playing fields, theatre, hospital and residential housing. A visitor driving around the area would have difficulty recognizing that it is a “park.” In spite of all the hindrances, walkers and joggers still manage to make up one of the most common users of the area.

Community gardens sound like a wonderful use of land; however, I have walked through many areas particularly in Germany where these are quite common. It is not all a delightful experience. There are many issues with unsightly plots, problems with pollution and the biggest issue is that even if there are 1,000 plots, it is only the privileged few who will be able to participate.

As Richmond quickly builds up around the Garden City Lands, there will be thousands of residents who will be able to enjoy this open and natural space. For a visitor to Richmond, what greater initial impact could there be than driving by a magnificent space featuring local vegetation, open space and walking paths. Think Stanley Park, Hyde Park in London and Central Park in New York. One hundred years from now, no one will care about a building or playing field we built in 2013, but everyone will marvel that we had the foresight to keep the “space” for future generations!

Politicians need pay parameters Editor: The recent report regarding mayor and council reimbursements for serving the electorate should be subject to legislated parameters. It must be for all MLA and municipal governments.

First, a newly elected representative must start at 70 per cent of the current pay, followed each year by a 7.5 increase up to the year of re-election. Each representative must appear every

six months before a five-person volunteer review board to review their performance prior to receiving each and every raise.

The current system enabling representatives raises by their own consensus or by review of a chosen conflict of interest board is wrong.

The other alternative is for elected officials to voluntarily accept the above proposal.

Better Grades Happier Kids

Let citizens’ committee determine council remuneration Editor: Although I should not be surprised at anything politicians do these days, I have to admit how shocked I was to read about the truly excessive pay increases the mayor and councillors have been quietly helping themselves to via our tax dollars over the past few years.

In a time when the federal and provincial governments are asking everyone to do with less, and noting the fragile state of our economy, did they think that no one would notice?

A year or so ago, when city council declared a “surplus”, I suggested that instead of finding creative ways to spend it, that it be applied against the next year’s tax base. Basically that suggestion was ignored, and once again our property and other taxes increased, all the while, it seems, they were providing themselves with hefty pay increases.

Most of us try to get by on a limited income, with some lucky enough to get consumer price index, which unfortunately is quickly eaten away as everything else continues going up, including our taxes. This however does not appear to be a problem for the mayor and councillors, who only need to vote themselves ongoing excessive pay increases.

Although I believe in general that they are doing

a reasonably good job, the time has come for this process to stop.

We need to now change this process for the future, instead of continuing to have them compare their income status with other municipalities. I therefore believe that a committee made up of a cross section of taxpaying citizens and businesses, should be established. This committee would review the yearly plans and budgets and from those, develop performance and outcome measurements that will again be reviewed and measured at the end of each budgetary period. Based upon that review, and if the goals have been meet, financial recognition can then be taken into consideration (and to what degree).

With this approach, we would hope to see better outcomes and better financial control. This evaluation process (although not involving committees) is not new to the business world, and would seem appropriate to also apply these same principles and practices to our representatives.

Teenage life is a juggling act

Slam poetry speaks truths Defining slam poetry via a slam poem

Pressure from family, friends, school and the community can be overwhelming

by Angelica Poversky Youth Reporter

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.

And though school is now out, knowing how to manage the stress can be a big help for upcoming school year.

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 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 secondary 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 highschool environment: “Build a circle of social contacts to create a supportive environment of people who care for you and respect you.”

My friend once said, “It’s easy to write slam poetry.”

He said, you just stand on a stage, and speak of the sorrows that fill your heart with rage Say a random deep line, the audience will believe you are divine, a judge will give you a 10, the audience will clap, and you’ll keep living to write yet another, “rap” I told him, he’s wrong.

Slam poetry isn’t an algorithm; it doesn’t fit into a formula It is not equal to Y when it is mx+b, It is not a bustle of swearing, it is not a poetry reading, its slam simply.

It may be effortless once you realize, that the art of poetry lies, within ever pair of sunken, or bright eyes.

It may come naturally once you become, one, and revolutionize the world with pinpointing struggles in metaphors of the moon and the sun Everybody has something to share, and say, slam poetry brings that upon in a beautiful way The revolution has begun.

If you picture a knee-jotting nerdy teen stranded on a poorly lit stage staring at the back of a pencil-plastered page, your thoughts of poetry must disengage Because standing in front of a crowd, and speaking truth like flowers blossom out of your throat, with every word you speak out loud, standing in unison with people speaking of justice and freedom, giving hope with an underground connection is not anything like a multiple choice selection, because the algorithm lines within him.

My friend once said, “It’s easy to

write slam poetry,” But he didn’t compete in the hullabaloo, where he would have shook from the power of what words can do. We all feel inside, to push that rush of emotion on to the outside, spill yourself with no escape you cannot hide, the audience will have a blown mind.

Words can make you sing and cry, words can make you want to live or die, but the words in this BC Youth Poetry Slam, made me revive.

I competed with the team of McMath Wildcats, we blossomed into a journey of cocoons to butterflies, standing together behind microphones, speaking straight from our soul, we united escaped to power from nervous blurred eyes to the entrance from a rainbow’s hole.

Amanda Michalak—a member of the five-person team, containing, Mikayla Pickering, Rachel Kierszenblat, Claire Christie, and me—talks about the transformation poetry has her days won, how natural it was to come, into a place, where the crowd accepts you as if we are a different section of the human race.

It has took her away from her strife, replaced her with a different outlook on life.

Together our teams agree, on this form of artistry, self expression, leading a journey of self-direction in angst filled teenage-world, sometimes it feels absurd, to feel like your voice can be heard, but the power of poetry, will bring you, and show you, there is nothing you can’t do.

My friend once said, “It’s easy to write slam poetry,” and it is, because the art is already alive, you just have to dig up its grave from inside your mind, and soon he’ll be writing slams too. There is nothing you can’t do.

Because slam poetry is like a moonlit beach with a salt water breeze, It comes and lives on with, Ease.

Lansdowne comes alive with performance art A new public art project is taking place inside Lansdowne Centre mall this month.

StoreFront: objects of desire is a series of storefront art installations accompanied by performances by artist Nicole Dextras.

Dresses made from live flowers and shoes made of leaves are presented on mannequins, as if for sale. By presenting simulated fashion articles within an existent shopping experience, the viewer is confronted with having to negotiate the relationship between desire and ownership.

In the mall’s central court, Dextras will inhabit one of the kiosks. Her

alter ego will be dressed in her white lab coat as she randomly preens and adds new pieces to her display throughout the month.

On Saturday, July 20, the artist will be offering beauty makeovers, while a live model personifies one of Dextras’ living creations to engage visitors in conversation and storytelling.

The first performance is set for Saturday, July 6 from 1 to 4 p.m., when a live model will present the self-sustaining garden and flexible shelter for the new urban nomad, complete with pots of edible plants and a hoop skirt.

Richmond actor gets in on the outdoor act Cathy Wilmot returns to Theatre Under the Stars

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

I

t could be the only stage in Metro Vancouver where raccoons become stars. Sort of.

The four-legged critters around Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park aren’t known for their acting chops, but are known to make the odd appearance during Theatre Under the Stars, which is again presenting two musicals this summer on the open-air stage.

“What I love about TUTS is it is outdoors and you really have the unexpected element of the Nine O’Clock Gun (a

seawall fixture) going off, and sometimes fireworks and wildlife,” said actor Cathy Wilmot, a Richmond resident and special education assistant with the Richmond School District.

Wilmot is playing Paulette in Legally Blonde: The Musical, which opens July 10 and performs even days in July and odd days in August until Aug. 17. Alternating nights is another musical: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

Written by Heather Hach, Laurence O’Keefe and Neil Benjamin, Legally Blonde is a Broadway hit based on the 2001 film starring Reese Witherspoon.

The show follows sorority girl Elle Woods, who, with her little dog Bruiser and other characters, takes Harvard Law School by storm, learning a few things

Richmond’s Cathy Wilmot stars as the ‘lovable and trailer-trashy’ Paulette in Legally Blonde.

about love and life along the way.

Wilmot’s “lovable and trailer-trashy” character Paulette is a beautician who meets Elle at the salon and befriends her.

Paulette has a big heart and trouble finding a decent man.

“That’s pretty much her plight through the show, is finding a man from Ireland,” said Wilmot in an interview this week.

at Gateway Theatre in December. Her experience with Theatre Under the Stars dates farther back—to 1994 and 1995—when she appeared in Annie Get Your Gun and Jesus Christ Superstar. What followed that was acting studies at Douglas College and a decadelong gig in professional dinner theatre.

Now, having worked in every aspect of theatre—including teaching musical theatre to kids—she’s back on stage doing what she loves best: performing.

She’s part of a hulking cast of 33 now in the midst of final rehearsals before the July 10 opening.

Regardless of weather—umbrellas are a nono but complimentary ponchos are available in the event of rain—the show will go on.

Said Wilmot: “I’m crossing my fingers it’ll be sunny. Hopefully we’ve gotten all the rain out of the system for the summer so that it’s nice and hot.”

Fortunately, the boys are used to playing under such conditions. Seven of the 11—Mitchell Armstrong, Brett Shubrook, Quinn Buter, Dimitri Temelkovski, Josh Mann, Josh Purewall and Thomas Gorgelik—played on last year’s gold medalwinning team and save for Dreyden Bar the newcomers Birk Zukowsky, Matt Van Euwen, Adam Mogg, Johnson Sun and Michael Delorey previously played for coach Dawn Stadel on provincial teams.

In their inaugural season playing rep girls’ fastball, the 2002B Richmond Islanders reached the final of the Lower Mainland Cup last weekend in Vancouver.

The team was undefeated through the round-robin and playoffs, before bowing to the North Vancouver Stars—who they defeated earlier in the tournament—in the final. Coaches Tyler Gibson, Don Mann, Steve Lum and Kenny Tse were elated with their team’s strong play overall in the 2013 campaign, during which they went 14-8 against both 2001 and 2002 teams, and even more pleased the season ended on such a positive note.

The 2002B Islanders are: Sidney Lim, Regan Gibson, Kirstin Mann, Megan Man, Jamie Corbett, Lennox Ali, Taylor Chislett-Lefor, Jaimie Muller, Sandy Yang, Angelica Symons, Cassidy Martin, Jen Lum and Caitlin Bradley-Tse. Richmond Islanders 2002B girls’ fastpitch team.

Baby boomers driving Lower Mainland downsizing trend The baby boomers have long been the drivers of trends, and as they age they still make a difference. A new report from Colliers International, commissioned by HJ Properties, shows that many of that generation are considering their options regarding downsizing from their family homes.

“The research really surprised me,” says Scott Brown, senior vice-president of residential and commercial marketing services at Colliers International Marketing. “I thought there would be a mass exodus to Kelowna, but that’s not happening.”

Instead, people looking to downsize in the Fraser Valley are considering how to stay in their neighbourhood, have money for retirement and help their children, all in one package.

Projects such as HJ’s Waterstone in Langley are thus very appealing to downsizers, Brown says. With larger floorplans and plenty of amenities nearby, buyers of all ages are finding something to love about their new home.

“Logic starts to win over magic,” Brown says. “People emotionally want to stay in a single-family home, but as the

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

baby boomers get older, they have different considerations.”

One of the largest considerations is security, both of their property and themselves.

“Having a neighbour looking out for you is important,” says Brown. “In a multi-family project, you don’t have as many worries.”

The report showed that price was the biggest deciding factor for most baby boomers.

“You can buy a multi-family home for about $400,000,” Brown says. “That doesn’t get you much in a single-family home.”

Brown notes that he did see a difference in how buyers in the Fraser Valley were downsizing versus those in Vancouver itself, adding that Fraser Valley downsizers had retirement higher on their list of priorities.

Another big reason the baby boomer generation is buying smaller homes?

“I’ve been told that many people are moving into a multifamily home as a defence against their kids moving back in with them,” laughs Brown.

Morningstar home.

“They feel more comfortable knowing that someone they know has had a good experience with us,” Calahan says.

Partington is perfectly located on Burke Mountain. The neighbourhood has been growing over the years and now includes schools, parks and trails. It is also just a short drive to Coquitlam Town Centre for shopping and dining. You can also find leisure and recreation activities nearby.

Sales of Partington will open on July 6 at noon. Interested buyers are encouraged to preregister for more information at www. morningstarhomes.bc.ca. Calahan notes that she’ll send registrants a sneak peek before the start of sales.

The sales centre is located at 1508 Dayton Street in Coquitlam. For more information, visit the website or call 604-942-6370.

Partington showcases views on Burke Mountain

By Kerry Vital

Morningstar Homes is once again at the top of their game with their latest project, Partington on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain.

“It’s really special up here,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “The views are pretty spectacular. It’s like being on top of the

world.”

Partington is a collection of 45 singlefamily homes with spacious floorplans and luxurious finishings, including a truly massive kitchen with a granite island and tons of counter space. Hardwood flooring is included throughout the living areas, offset by the 19-foot vaulted ceiling, gorgeous floorto-ceiling linear fireplace and huge windows making the most of the views.

“Our Partington homes were designed with incredible views in mind by making the windows the focal point of each home,” says Calahan. “We could not pass up the opportunity to show them off.”

The four-bedroom homes are available in three different floorplans, ranging from 3,700 to 3,900 square feet. Each comes with an unfinished basement and a large private yard with a patio or deck.

“We always strive to be innovative and offer our purchasers the best,” says Calahan.

“We never tire of trying to better our designs, with each new project being given its own consideration.”

Partington is Morningstar’s eighth project on Burke Mountain, following the success of Kingston, Avondale, Somerton and many others.

“We were the first to pioneer a community on Burke Mountain,” Calahan says. “They really welcomed us with open arms, and it’s now a highly sought-after place to live.”

As the community grows, so does Morningstar’s reputation.

“The Morningstar promise is to make everything as seamless as possible,” Calahan says. “Buying a house is one of the biggest purchases of your life. We want to make it as stress-free as we can.”

She notes that they now get buyers preregistering who have heard about the homes through word-of-mouth from family and friends and who now want to live in their own

Mariners fundraising for westerns in Prince Albert From Page 16

International Championship July 16 at Softball City—just a few days before hosting the under-14 boys’ provincials which is expected to also feature the likes of Fleetwood, Sooke, 100 Mile House, Prince George, Clearwater, Williams Lake and Terrace.

Then on Aug. 1, the Mariners are scheduled to jet to the Western Canadian championships Aug. 2 to 5 in Prince Albert, Sask., the costs of which the team is hoping the local community will help cover.

“We’ve launched a massive fundraising campaign, trying to raise $15,000 in the next month,” says Stadel.

In addition to personal donations, the Mariners are also collecting corporate sponsorships through July 10 and conducting a clothing drive through July 26.

They also generated funds through a strawberry shortcake sale at the Steveston Salmon Festival (after picking the berries themselves) and will be selling 50/50 tickets at the provincials.

the same determination and camaraderie.

“As they are maturing, they are also getting more coachable,” she says. “We can still improve our batting, be more consistent, and develop more of a mental edge. There’s always a need to keep one step ahead of the other team.

And they want to practice.

My son (Armstrong) will call for a practice even when I need a day off and then half the team will agree and it’s back to the field we go.”

Armstrong is one of the players whose versatility and love of the game epitomizes the Mariners. He is not only a strong pitcher, but is comfortable catching and is solid at the plate.

Likewise, teammate Sun is reliable anywhere in the infield and brings 100 per cent to both practices and games, while Van Euwen has a great knack for the game and love of life.

➪

With credit to assistants Todd Shubrook and Doug Zukowsky, it is Stadel’s motherly presence and immense understanding and appreciation for the sport that ensures the Mariners success. Her dedication to Richmond boys’ fastball goes back eight years, when she began coaching a small group of first-year players who evolved into the current under-14 team.

“The philosophy I believe that has most contributed to our team’s ongoing success has been strong, consistent pitching by both Mitchell and Brett who have played together for quite a few years now,” she says. “Our offence has also remained solid, and when even the strongest hitters were struggling others always seemed to step up and pull us through.

Recently honoured by the Richmond Boys’ Fastball Association as its coach of the year, Stadel says the Mariners have also retained their zest for the game from last season while displaying

HUGE SELECTION OF HOME GYMS, TREADMILLS, BIKES, ELLIPTICALS AND FITNESS ACCESSORIES

B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix visited unionized workers at the Richmond IKEA picket line last weekend, a day after 27 workers were expelled from their union for returning to work.

The labour dispute between approximately 325 workers represented by Teamsters Local 213 and the Swedish furniture giant is now in its eighth week, after pickets went up around the Jacombs Road store on May 13.

After meeting union members Saturday, Dix commented on Twitter that he was “impressed by their commitment.”

Other NDP politicians, including Vancouver East MP Libby Davies, have also personally offered support to picketers.

But the dispute has gone on long enough for some. The union recently expelled 27 workers for crossing the picket line and returning to work.

“IKEA continues to welcome any coworkers who wish to return to work at any time,” said IKEA spokesperson Madeleine Löwenborg-Frick.

She said the union has rejected an offer that includes annual wage increases and competitive benefits. Under the company’s proposal, 58 per cent of employees would make $18 an hour, 25 per cent would make over $21 an hour and just

“This is backwards bargaining and we can’t see how this will entice anybody to come back to work.”

— Anita Dawson five per cent would make the lowest rate of $10.79 an hour.

“Unfortunately both parties remain at an impasse with regards to the rejected offer. IKEA continues to make ourselves available to the union, however, they have not shown any interest in working together to find new creative solutions to reach an agreement.”

But Teamsters Local 213 representative Anita Dawson said the company wants its proposed tiered wage system accepted for bargaining to continue. Dawson said workers went on strike in 2007 to eliminate such a wage system—and they don’t want it back.

“The company has continued to further reduce their offer,” she said. “This is backwards bargaining and we can’t see how this will entice anybody to come back to work.”

The Richmond store is one of two IKEA locations in North America that is unionized. The other is in Montreal, Que. The local store remains open during the dispute, but its restaurant and kids’ play area are closed. Other services, such as the returns and exchanges, have also been disrupted.

On the picket line, workers were holding signs this week that included: “Giving us lower wages to pay for the new store!”
