Matthew Hoekstra photo Mylora Public Golf Course on No. 5 Road is closed as a new owner is considering options for the future.
Mylora golf courses sold New owners of a now-shuttered course on No. 5 Road farmland drafting subdivision proposal by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter If golfers were allowed on, the fairways at Mylora Public Golf Course on No. 5 Road would frustrate even the world’s top players. Grass now stands knee-high on the 18-hole Richmond course, which was sold in February and is poised to become subject of a redevelopment scheme that city council has yet to consider. The decades-old course sold for $7 million to Second Sun Realty Fund Ltd., according to Lawrence Lim, president of Mayfair Commercial, which brokered the deal. The 12.6-hectare (31.1-acre) parcel, at 9500 No. 5 Rd., is locked in the Agricultural Land Reserve, and designated as agriculture-community institutional—the same designation on neighbouring parcels occupied by temples and churches.

Pavement plan peeves planters in Steveston Railway greenway ‘just kept on coming,’ says surprised councillor by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A city plan to blacktop a new fourmetre-wide trail abutting a commu-
nity garden in Steveston has been quashed. What now remains is densely packed gravel that forms the tail end of a greenway even city council’s parks committee chair didn’t expect. “They just kept on coming. I didn’t expect it, and nor did anybody else,” said Coun. Harold Steves. In December council approved a 3.7-kilometre paved trail—the Railway
TONY LING
Avenue Greenway—on an old rail bed used for decades by the interurban tram system. The $2.5-million project was to connect Garry Street to Granville Avenue via a four-metre wide two-way asphalt trail. The province handed the city $449,400 in the spring, and the additional cash opened up the possibility of extending the trail. See Page 4

New Mylora west owners want to donate land From Page 1 The second Mylora Golf Course—on the east side of Highway 99 at 9911 Sidaway Rd.—has also changed hands. The 15.1-hectare (37.4-acre) property sold last December for $5.5 million. Lim said the new owner, who he described as a private individual, intends to keep the links open and improve the clubhouse. The same family has owned both parcels since 1930, said David Harrison, who looked after the properties and is one of nine siblings in the family which ultimately decided to sell. When a golf course in the ALR is closed—as Mylora on No. 5 Road now has—new uses are restricted to agriculture, according to Coun. Harold Steves. But on No. 5 Road, known as the Highway to Heaven, the city has an agreement with the Agricultural Land Commission to allow places of worship and schools on the east side, provided the property’s backlands are farmed. “They’re lucky. They’re the only golf course in B.C. that I know of that when it stops being a golf course, it doesn’t have to be a farm,” said Steves. But not all institutions on No. 5 Road have embraced agriculture effectively. Some have tried farming, some have
not. Still others have planted, but don’t make harvesting a priority, said Steves. “We thought that churches would be growing food for the food bank and the poor and things like that. It just didn’t happen.” Steves said a policy change has been mulled, one that would allow city hall to manage farmland on behalf of the landowners through a no-cost longterm lease or land donation. “Instead of having the frontage for a temple and the back of the property farmed by the temples, we’re of the opinion the land should be donated to the city and the city should farm it. The temples have not been farming it; the policy hasn’t worked,” said Steves. Any new proposals for institutions should be required to hand over the property’s backlands to the city for farming, said Steves, noting the demand for small farming plots is real, and that would allow the city to sublet the land to young or established farmers. “People are contacting me personally—and I don’t have any land to lease out—wanting five-acre parcels,” he said. “You can make a living off of a couple of acres, but they can do pretty good with fives acres on certain crops.
There’s a lot of people who want to do that, but they’re not getting the opportunity.” Working with Dagneault Planning Consultants Ltd., realtor Lawrence Lim said the new owners of the No. 5 Road golf course intend to donate the back two-thirds of the land to the city in exchange for the right to subdivide the remaining third into four or five parcels for institutional use. Lim said the property as a whole is too large for most potential buyers, but there are many institutions looking for smaller parcels of land. He added such groups are having a difficult time finding property because municipalities are reluctant to allow the tax-free use. “When the parcels are smaller, then it’s the right size for a lot of churches and temples and schools and for people to use,” he said. “It’s a win-win situation for everybody, for the user, for the city, for the (Agricultural Land Commission). Everybody comes out as winners. In the meantime we make a little bit of profit.” Lim said he welcomes any group interested in acquiring one of the potential lots to contact him. The city is already poised to get into the farming business—beyond its

existing crop of community gardens. As part of The Gardens development at No. 5 Road and Steveston Highway, a 4.9-hectare (12.2-acre) public park in the ALR is expected to offer community gardens and small farm plots for a farm school program.
Shellmont resident Carol Day, a critic of the ongoing proposal to expand the neighbouring Lingyen Mountain Temple, said in a perfect world Mylora on No. 5 Road would remain a golf course, but she called the proposed donation of land to the city “fantastic.”
Retired fire captain convicted of assaulting radio station owner John Urquhart gets conditional discharge for assault on Matthew McBride by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A retired local fire captain has been convicted in Richmond provincial court of the bloody and excessive May 2011 assault of FM radio station owner and long-time local volunteer Matthew McBride. John Urquhart, 60, was the squad leader of the Richmond Coast Guard Auxiliary program, currently known as the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue, and a retired captain at Richmond Fire-Rescue. The assault that happened in a local parking lot was witnessed by one woman who intervened because she thought Urquhart might kill McBride. “Don’t, you’re going to kill him, stop, you’re going to kill him,” testified Chantal Willox in Richmond provincial court during the trial earlier this year. She told the court she saw Urquhart punch McBride in the head, drive him to the ground, and continue to “punch his face into the cement.” And when she intervened, she said Urquhart called her a “silly little girl.” The assault occurred following a verbal ex-
change between the pair at a May 17, 2011 meeting of the Coast Guard auxiliary at South Arm Community Centre that Urquhart had been chairing. Matthew McBride was there to report on information he’d gleaned from his meeting with the City of Richmond regarding an upcoming tall ships festival. But after the tall ships agenda item came up, Urquhart spoke on the item, and then moved to the next item. When McBride chimed in, he was rebuffed by Urquhart. “There was a verbal exchange between the two that resulted in Mr. McBride suddenly and rudely leaving the meeting,” the court ruling said. An upset McBride said: “Screw it, I’m out of here, I don’t need this.” He then gathered his belongings and walked out, the court judgement said. Urquhart responded by telling McBride to “go have another drink”, to which McBride replied with an expletive. Within a minute of this exchange, Urquhart turned the meeting over to the deputy unit leader and went in search of McBride. While Urquhart claimed self defence in the subsequent assault and said he was simply pursuing McBride to patch things up with him, Richmond provincial court Judge H.K. Dhillon rejected his version of events, basing her decision on inconsistencies between his claim and evidence given by two independent witnesses. “His explanations of his intent are inconsistent
with his outward manifestation. His conduct, language and tone were at complete odds with his stated intention to placate and far distant from any conciliatory approach,” Judge Dhillon said. “I also reject his evidence that it was Mr. McBride who was completely out of control when he first approached him in the parking lot. If so, it would have been clear to Mr. Urquhart that this was a poor candidate to salvage for the Coast Guard Auxiliary.” McBride, 52, testified that he was in the parking lot, heading towards his car, when he heard Urquhart calling him from behind. McBride testified he was being called names, and after stopping briefly to turn toward Urquhart, he then turned his back on Urquhart to continue to walk to his car. McBride said he made repeated requests for Urquhart to back off and get away. Fearful of being confined between two vehicles with his back turned, McBride said he took a step towards Urquhart and put his open hand on his shoulder and pushed, telling him to back off. That’s when Urquhart swung and hit McBride forcefully two times in the head. Urquhart then grabbed a hold of McBride and pushed him down to the ground. While face down on the ground, Urquhart delivered four to six more blows around his head and ear, with McBride suffering a painful and swollen cut lip, a cut over his eye, a bloody nose with profuse bleeding when his face was pushed into the ground,
and generalized scratching and bruising. Witness Brendan Narowsky didn’t see the fight, but heard the verbal exchange that lead up to it. Narowsky said that Urquhart made comments including: “Why are you walking away from me?”, “Be a man”, and “You’re (expletive) gutless.” In finding Urquhart guilty, Judge Dhillon wrote: “I find that the nature and proportionality of Mr. Urquhart’s response to Mr. McBride’s shoulder push, specifically landing a number of significant blows to an incapacitated man on the ground, were excessive and not objectively reasonable in the totality of the circumstances.” Urquhart was handed a six-month conditional discharge and was ordered to submit a sample of his DNA for a federal registry. Reached Tuesday for comment, McBride said he’s glad it’s all over. “It’s time to move on,” he said. Since the assault, Urquhart has not been active in any capacity with the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue, said Rob Duffus, director of marketing and communications for the searchand-rescue organization in an e-mail. “This matter was dealt with by police and the courts. In order to protect the privacy of our members, we do not discuss personnel matters and cannot comment further. However, the safety of our volunteer members is our top priority and we have zero tolerance for behaviour such as that described in this case.” Neither Urquhart nor his lawyer could be reached for comment by press time Tuesday.

From Page 1 But for green thumbs growing vegetables in a community garden at the south end of Railway Avenue—the sight of dump trucks and a road roller next to their flowering zucchinis and sprouting corn was an unwelcome surprise. “We would have been basically poisoned out of our gardens,” said Cathy Sichewski, a nurse and part-time gardener, of the blacktop that loomed. Sichewski—worried for the health of the entire garden—contacted Steves, who put the kibosh on the asphalt. But land that once held the potential for more plots is now a wide gravel trail. “It looks awful,” said Sichewski, whose plot is a step from the new path. “That should never have been touched. Now it’s an eyesore.” Coun. Harold Steves, the lone councillor who opposed pavement on any part of the greenway, said gravel a foot deep has already been laid, but he’s recommending topping it with limestone instead of blacktop.
Matthew Hoekstra photo The new Railway Avenue Greenway—its paved path now largely complete—has already, ahem, attracted a mix of users. (It’s not meant for scooters.)
“To put it through the allotment gardens, I just don’t think anybody was really thinking about what we’d already done there,” he said. “Blacktop is carcinogenic. You wouldn’t want the fumes or anything getting on your garden while they’re going through.” The plan approved by council in December is short on specifics. It shows a new paved
path from Granville Avenue to Garry Street that links with existing trails to the north and south. The city’s senior manager of parks, Mike Redpath, told The Richmond Review that “all along” the plan was about making a connection from “dyke to dyke.” As for the trail next to the community garden, Redpath said the city hasn’t landed on a pre-
ferred surface. “The trail from end to end was going to be paved, but we’ve decided in that section, for the time being, we’re going to keep it as gravel.” Finishing work, signs, intersection improvements and landscaping are still planned for the greenway, which staff are expecting will be finished by the end of October.

Austin Feng/Ming Pao Daily News photo Thailand’s Bodin Issara sports an injury to his ear after a brawl broke out during the men’s double final Sunday afternoon at the Richmond Olympic Oval.
Fight breaks out in badminton final by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter “I went to a badminton match, and a hockey game broke out,” chuckled radio broadcaster Jim Mullin about Sunday’s brouhaha between two former teammates from Thailand playing in the finals of the Yonex Canada Open at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Mullin was doing play-by-play for Shaw TV, calling the men’s doubles final that pitted Bodin Issara against his former teammate Maneepong Jongjit. About a dozen points into the final, the pair clashed and exchanged some words at the net, and they were warned by the umpire, Mullin said. They settled back down, and began playing again. But at the end of the first game, as they stood behind the umpire’s chair, there was a push, a shove, a racquet came up and it made contact, he said. And then the pursuit was on, with Issara chasing after Jongjit. Issara picked up a chair and swung it at Jongjit, but missed by about two feet. The chase spilled over three courts, and eventually Issara got Jongjit on the ground, and punched him several times, and then kicked him high in the chest. “At that point, I thought it could get exceptionally nasty,” Mullin said. But the coaches and teammates jumped in and broke things up. However, the violence didn’t end there. Mullin said he was concerned after officials intervened following the initial violence, worried that the pair might re-
“It was the most unexpected outburst of violence that I’ve seen.” — Jim Mullin engage, either in the practice area or behind the stands. Sure enough, more yelling and screaming erupted, followed by the sound of things being knocked over, with Jongjit running out from behind the curtain with teammates at his side, in an apparent attempt to get clear of the whole thing. Issara and Jongjit were former teammates, who split up after Issara claimed he needed to attend to an ailing mother. “This was the first time these two had met on court in a Grand Prix event,” Mullin said. According to one report, Issara was actually seeking to break up their partnership, and simply wanted to move to a new partner, better practice facilities and a more lucrative contract. Mullin has been doing radio and TV play-by-play for close to 25 years and has never seen anything like it. “It was the most unexpected outburst of violence that I’ve seen.” Issara was handed a black card, ousting him from the match. “This is only the third black card handed out in an internationally-sanctioned badminton event,” Mullin said, noting that those other two were for language.

T
hey’re called smartphones, but the way some people use them is anything but smart – giving us all legitimate cause for concern about public safety.
A new poll that shows that 64 per cent of adults in B.C. own a smartphone also reveals, more disturbingly, that about 18 per cent of those who do consider themselves “strongly addicted to the device.” Predictably, the majority who placed themselves in that particular category describe their
addiction as ‘manageable.’ It’s a rare addict, after all, who acknowledges his or her addiction – whatever it is – is galloping out of control. That all changes, of course, when the addict is faced with incontrovertible evidence – usually some severe crisis or tragedy – that calls for an immediate change in behaviour. The question is, should we, as a society, be expected to pay the price of such a crisis or tragedy? Particularly when it’s something like an accident caused by driving without due care and attention? Smartphones offer entertain-
ment and information through a multitude of apps, and they have very practical uses in terms of communication, particularly in emergencies, that have, so far, merely scratched the surface of their potential. But it’s no news they also function as a distraction. According to the recent poll, those who who describe themselves as addicted estimate they spend an average of 2.5 of their waking hours staring at their diminutive keypads and screens. If that 2.5 hours were spent in one block of time, it might be a different matter – but it’s
spread throughout the day, usually while the users are multi-tasking in some way. We should all be more aware of the imminent dangers such devices present – and to make sure that we are actually controlling them – and not the other way around. The human animal is, inevitably, flawed – and there is always the temptation to make just one short call, check that one detail, complete that half-finished text or glance at that incoming message. A quick look, a few more words, just this once – who could it hurt? —Black Press
Green MLA talks coal and controversy
B.C. Views
Tom Fletcher After climate scientistturned-Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver had a taste of debate in the B.C. legislature, I asked him for his impressions on that and other issues. Excerpts from that discussion: You did a study comparing burning all the world’s coal reserves and all oil reserves, showing how big coal really is. The federal government says that when you add up what’s actually being used in North America, carbon emissions from coal are about 30 times more than from oil. Now we have a symbolic coal export ban in Vancouver, which doesn’t apply to Port Moody or Point Roberts or Prince Rupert. Do you think there’s any significance to this? Andrew Weaver: There is no question that the biggest issue around is coal, because coal use is on the rise worldwide. Not in the United States, because they’re converting [power production] to natural gas. This is why American producers are saying, let’s ship it to Asia. California says no, Oregon says no, Washington says no. Vancouver says no, British Columbia, not sure. It’s pushing us to start thinking about what I think is going to be the greatest industrial revolution the world has ever seen, which is transformation of energy systems away from our com-

bustion approach, which is essentially what we’ve been doing since we were in caves. We’ve gone from burning wood to now fossil wood, and fossil plants and fossil algae, to a much more modern era of production of energy through natural means, solar, wind, geothermal etc.
Liquified natural gas. The NDP says they are absolutely in favour of that now. Andrew Weaver: I have questioned the economics of it from day one. There’s a market differential that exists now. There’s that small window because Japan is moving from nuclear to
natural gas. But we’re way behind everyone else. Thirty years ago, Japan played Australia and B.C. off for metallurgical coal. Those northeast B.C. coal mines are back up and running again, but you’re seeing a similar thing here? Andrew Weaver: Yes. And
if we start shipping natural gas to Asia … the Asian price comes down, the North American price goes up. British Columbians haven’t been told that. How has the legislature session been for you? Andrew Weaver: I sit there and watch the two parties. Rhetorical question, condescending answer. Rhetorical question, condescending answer. And I hope more British Columbians watch this, because this needs to change. And I think it can change. The NDP opposition decides when you and Delta South Independent Vicki Huntington get your occasional moments in question period? Andrew Weaver: Yes, and if I’ve asked it’s been no problem. Grudgingly no doubt. If the NDP had their way, the closest Green Party member would be in Holland. Andrew Weaver: [Laughs] Yes. Certainly not in North America. There’s this sense of entitlement within the NDP to the ‘green’ vote. And I sense that the B.C. Liberals very much like our existence, as being not NDP. The reality is, we take as many Liberal votes, if not more. It’s because what it means to be ‘green’ has moved out of what the NDP view as green, which is a tree hugger. It’s kids going to school, talking about conservation, and going home to talk to their parents. That’s where our votes are coming from. Are you going to be found standing in front of a coal train any time soon? Andrew Weaver: No, never. They asked me to, and I said no, because I don’t believe in civil disobedience.

letters
Be patient with those who do not speak English
Make an effort to learn the language
Editor: Re: “Hello, we’re in Canada,” Letters, July 19. Yes, we’re in Canada, especially in Richmond, a so-called Chinese town by certain new Chinese immigrants. My family and I migrated to Canada 15 years ago and worked in a medical specialist office for 12 years. Every now and then, patients called or walked in speaking Chinese—they were humble and well appreciative that someone could speak and translate for them. Though some came in with loud voices and behaved rude, it didn’t mean that was what they really were. They were just scared and not familiar with this country yet. If they can speak broken English, most of them will bravely speak for their own, even in front of our Caucasian and Canadian-raised Chinese receptionist.
Editor: I hope Katherine Mui’s letter (“Hello, we’re in Canada”) will be read by many Richmond residents and I congratulate The Richmond Review for printing it. Most residents of Richmond are very accommodating to newcomers, but I believe it’s time for some of them who don’t speak English to make an effort to learn it. As Ms. Mui states this is Canada and not everyone who looks Chinese speaks the language and the lack of social graces among some newcomers is absolutely horrendous. Why should customer service personnel have to speak Chinese? It’s the English speaking residents who are being short-changed in the language department, not the Chinese. If you choose to live either in an English or French speaking part of Canada then integrate and don’t arrive here with an attitude of entitlement. L. Haudin Richmond
Canada is a multicultural country, we have all kinds of immigrants—not just Chinese seeking the same race to get help in public. We appreciate the natural beauty, harmony and the kindness of this country. My children both can speak simple Chinese, not fluently and cannot read and write at all. Having a Chinese face, they never refused anyone approach with speaking Cantonese or Mandarin. They just try their best to help or direct them to someone nearby speaking better. Bilingual is always a benefit to add to our resume. No offence, but from my experience, most of the people that barely or could not speak English are old, so why can’t we be patient and polite, help them like any other customers as we are doing our professional customer service. Julia Kong Richmond
Public transit is getting crowded —time for articulated buses? Editor: Acknowledging the point that public transit is usually slower than commuting by car, public transit can be more convenient in terms of subtracting the time spent in luxurious solo pursuits and putting that time into more useful things such as work or even putting our electronic devices to good use. Many transit users waste fewer minutes in their daily commute than motorists do, but with this, public transit begins to become overpacked, causing (in multiple occasions) many people to either not be able to board their bus
The hat came back Editor: I would like to publicly acknowledge an exceptional act of kindness. On the weekend I lost my hat in the Richmond Nature Park. On Monday morning, a gentleman appeared at my door with the hat. Not only did he return the hat, he had taken the trouble to wash it; now it looks better than when it was new! I was, however, so flabbergasted that I neglected to ask him his name. I hope he reads this and will learn that members of my family will join me as I tell all this great story of kindness in Richmond. Neil Sutherland Richmond
because it was full (making them late to wherever they are going) or denying some people to even make it through the crowd so that they can exit the bus at their desired stop forcing them against their will to get off late and walk back again possibly making them late to wherever they are heading. I suggest that Coast Mountain Bus Company either make buses come more frequently during the busier times of day or change some busses to articulated buses. If that doesn’t happen, is public transit still truly more efficient? Sam Twaites Richmond
City of Richmond
Harper’s cabinet is two people short Editor: We read that Stephen Harper has appointed a cabinet of 38 people. What a shame. He could have made it a nice round Forty bods, and we could all reference the example of Ali Baba and his infamous forty! Terrence Murphy Richmond

Council drops affordable housing from River Green

High-end development one of two no longer required to build affordable housing
LADNER
10th Annual
by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond will become a city of “rental ghettos” if developers are allowed to exclude affordable housing from their projects, an advocate told council. “How will the city ensure we have complete and vibrant neighbourhoods, with varying ages, ethnicities and income levels?” noted De Whalen in her submission at a public hearing last week. “I fear that…we will end up with rental ghettos and that all of the develop-

ers’ obligations to provide affordable housing will be lumped into one zone.” City council also heard from another opponent of the move, Jennifer Larsen, but nonetheless voted 8-1 to grant the exclusion to developers of two new riverfront communities. River Green, near the Richmond Olympic Oval, and Parc Riviera, near River Rock Casino Resort, 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 more than 100 affordable homes, it will net $14.1 million from the developers instead. The cash can now be used for purpose-built affordable housing projects. The city’s director of development, Wayne Craig, told council that staff are working “on a number of initiatives” for affordable housing, according to meeting minutes. Coun. Chak Au was alone in opposition. Au said if the money is for a specific affordable housing project, council should pass a resolution and make a firm commitment. Au fears this could become a strategy for developers in the future—promise affordable housing at the time of rezoning and later offer cash to the city instead. “In order to get a step into the door they may promise it in the beginning. If we then let them backpedal in the middle of the stream, it’s unfair to everybody. That’s the kind of thing I want to prevent.” Aspac Developments was planning a stand-alone wood-frame building within its River Green development to accommodate affordable housing. Similarly, Dava Developments was ready to build 67 affordable housing units in its Parc Riviera development on River Drive. Coun. Bill McNulty said the city has helped inject 915 units of affordable housing into Richmond in recent years, and is contributing to two other major projects now underway. He said getting $14.1 million from Aspac and Dava Developments gives the city the ability to partner with senior governments on a new project. “Now we have an opportunity to do something more,” he said. “When an opportunity comes along, we can now act.”

Crash that claimed Surrey girl happened at bend in Richmond road by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Last Wednesday night’s fatal crash that claimed a Surrey teen on River Road in the East Richmond Community of Hamilton happened at a bend in the road where people commonly speed, an area resident said. April Bessey, 15, was home with her parents, when she heard an extremely loud crash, and ran outside around 9
p.m. Wednesday. The power lines were dangling on her house’s roof, and a virtually unrecognizable vehicle was sitting in the ditch, she said. One power pole was sheared off at the base, but still suspended by wires, while another had toppled to the ground. “My mom was screaming to call the police,” Bessey said, adding she couldn’t tell what kind of vehicle it was, only able to make out that it
was blue in colour. After calling 911, Bessey said she saw “a completely ruined car in the ditch and there’s a guy sitting in the ditch, and there’s a girl and a guy, sitting at the side of the road. “They were just sitting there. They looked shocked. They had no emotions,” she said. Bessey said she’s lived in the area for most of her life, and can recall four accidents in roughly the same location. She said people
frequently speed in the area. Bessey was unaware that an 18-year-old girl, from Surrey, who was extricated from the vehicle by Richmond Fire-Rescue, died early Thursday morning from her injuries. “It’s sad, really sad. I’m sorry for her family,” Bessey said.

India wins second Nations Cup in four years
by Don Fennell Sports Editor Heading into last Friday’s opening games at the annual Nations Cup soccer tournament, chief organizer Jeff Wilson was hesitant to predict which teams might finish atop their respective divisions—particularly in the men’s open division. For good reason. Unlike the tournament’s early days, when Scotland’s domination extended to eight consecutive titles from 1982 through 1989, no team has won the men’s open more than two years in a row—England in 1997 and 1998 and Germany in 2001 and 2002. And in recent years there has also been a changing of the guard.
India, which won its second title in four years Sunday, has led the way. India scored early and late in regulation to earn a 2-1 victory over Italy in Sunday’s final before an enthusiastic, sun-drenched crowd Sunday evening at Hugh Boyd Park. India, which defeated Ireland for the 2010 championship, was undefeated in five matches beginning with a 3-0 victory over China to kick off tournament play Friday. They then played to a 1-1 draw with Canada on Saturday before blanking Portugal 3-0 and first-timer Saudi Arabia 1-0 in semifinal play Sunday. An early goal gave India an advantage over Italy in the final, but the latter tied it on a penalty before India ultimately prevailed. See Page 14

Scots still going strong in over-52 From Page 13
Ironically, India is in the midst of an organizational shift with Raj Sandhu taking over from longtime coach Bindy Braich who stepped down following last year’s tournament. “(For Sandhu) to win in his first year at the helm is impressive and continues on that tradition of India consistently being one of the better teams,” says Wilson. Italy, too, deserves some kudos, he adds, noting
that former Vancouver 86er Guido Titotto has poured his heart and soul into organizing the Nations Cup side. “He takes a great deal of pride in representing the Italian community and always put together a real strong team,” says Wilson. Ireland, meanwhile, won its third consecutive women’s open division title by outscoring Canada 1-0 a few hours earlier. Organizers were hoping a team from Washington state,

representing the U.S., would add to the competition but they apparently had their dates mixed up. Meanwhile, well-known local youth soccer coach Clive Clarke is quickly putting together a competitive young side representing the Caribbean, which went 1-2 in tournament play. Caribbean doubled Germany 2-1 and lost 1-0 to Italy and 3-0 to Canada. In other division finals, England doubled India 2-1 in the men’s over-30 final, Germany needed double overtime to edge India 3-2 in the men’s over-38 final, while Scotland doubled Serbia 2-1 in the men’s over-45 final and also took top honours in the men’s over-52 division by outscoring China 1 by a 3-1 count. Topping the over-52 division is akin to stepping back in time for Scotland, the core of which formed the nucleus of the great men’s open division teams of the 1980s. Lindsay Henderson, who’s still playing, was among them.
“I remember being about 10 and coming out and watching him in his heyday,” Wilson says fondly.“To me he was as a big of a soccer icon as anybody I’d seen on TV. He was a great distributing centre midfielder, a spectacular player.” Throughout its 32year history, the Nations Cup—Western Canada’s most popular summer soccer spectacle and a miniature version of the World Cup—has traditionally attracted the best local talent as well and even a few international stars including Northern Ireland’s George Best. Not all have played, however. On the weekend, for example, Vancouver Whitecaps Gershon Koffie (Ghana) and Kekuta Manneh (Gambia) stopped by to cheer on Africa which lost a 2-1 heartbreaker to Italy in men’s semifinal play. Africa won two of its three other tournament matches 2-0 over Scotland and 3-2 over England and lost 2-1 to Iran.

Talent, development reflected by quick pace by Don Fennell Sports Editor India’s lightning quick start in both the semifinals and final at the Nations Cup Sunday reflects an emerging trend at the summer soccer spectacle. If you don’t set the pace early, and maintain it, you probably won’t enjoy much success. “I think the culture of the sport has evolved to a point where, on a human level, the athletes are taking better care of themselves and the training is a lot more intense,” says Nations Cup organizer Jeff Wilson. “I was always a select player growing up and all we had was a couple practices a week and a game. Now, (the top-level) youth players are practising several times a week to go along with a game. And along with an increasing focus on development and diet it’s changing the pace of the game from year to year.” With a 60-minute time limit for

matches at the Nations Cup (as opposed to the traditional 90) teams are also realizing they have to get a jump on the opposition as quickly as possible, Wilson says. “Probably the most crippling thing is to go down a goal because there’s a very limited amount of time to get it back,” he says. “As a result a lot of teams are adopting a strategy of getting at the opposition early to try to get that first goal and then make the opposition adjust their strategy.” There’s also no question that the Nations Cup routinely draws the best soccer players in the Lower Mainland and beyond. Combining that fact with playing for national pride makes for a winning formula which is why the tournament is constantly growing. “We always said we want to make sure this is not just a big cultural party, but a destination for all the best players. At the end of the day if this isn’t the best soccer tournament then all those other things don’t matter,” Wilson says..

Smooth sailing for Mariners
The R.C.M.P Musical Ride
U18s win gold, U14s silver by Don Fennell Sports Editor Talk about home field advantage. Richmond Mariners hoped playing in the familiar confines of Merrell Fields might lend itself to a few more wins. But they never expected to run the table, at least not in such dominant fashion. The Mariners won the provincial boys’ under-18 fastball championship Sunday by blanking Nanaimo 12-0 in the final. It was the fourth time in as many games the team had mercied its opponent. And they had just three runs scored against them all weekend. “Having a few of the boys playing in the (Lower Mainland) men’s league all year really helped prepare us for provincials,” said Mariners’ manager Marshall Shields. “But it was a real team effort.” With seven players returning from the team that placed third at the Western Canadians in 2012, Shields is now even more confident the Mariners will be serious contenders for top honours at the 2013 westerns which Richmond Boys’Fastball is cohosting with Richmond Girls’Softball Aug. 8 to 11 at London Fields. After dominating league play, the under-14 Mariners also had a strong showing at provincials. On their way to Saskatoon for the Western Canadians in two weeks, the team earned silver medals losing out to Sooke 10-7 in Sunday’s final also played at Merrell Fields. It was the

third meeting between the teams at the tournament, with Sooke also winning the first by a run and the Mariners taking the second game by a pair of runs. “The close games reflect how very comparable they are to us,” said Richmond manager Dawn Stadel. “We played them several times earlier this season and had won each of them, but they came together for
the tournament. The bottom line is they outplayed us (in the final).” But Stadel is motivated by the loss and hopes the Mariners (winners of four golds in previous tournament play this season) are too as they tune up for westerns. “I honestly think it will be good for us to have taken a loss. We had a very few this season. I think it will inspire us to play harder,” says Stadel.

“VANESSA” NEEDS A GOOD HOME WITH YOU!
“VANESSA, ID# 292938, DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR, SPAYED FEMALE, 1 YEAR 10 MONTHS”
Vanessa is a bit of an independent cat at times, but one who still loves hanging out with her human counterparts. She’s typically the first cat to come and greet you when you walk in the room when it’s time for breakfast and dinner. Vanessa would do best as the only cat in the home as she can get a little bit jealous when you give affection to the other furry friends. Always looking for an extra pet or five, Vanessa is great for those that would like a cat who can do her own thing while you’re gone but wants to be buddies when you’re home. If you think that Vanessa is the right cat for you, come visit her at the shelter!

harter members, honorary members and their families came out to help celebrate the formation of the Rotary E Club of Lulu Island, Richmond’s newest rotary club, at the Chinese Bunkhouse on July 11.
The group’s main goal is to help out with projects taken on by local organizations, using a hands-on approach as opposed to focusing on fundraising. “It’s an advocate club, not a cheque writing club,” said Bill McNulty, the president of the club.
Part of what makes the Rotary E Club of Lulu Island different from the other rotary groups in Richmond is that it’s membership meets online each week instead of in person, giving members flexibility. It also aims to have a focus on helping local organizations instead of the international causes that Rotary International groups traditionally support. “The focus is totally on the community,” said McNulty. “We want to focus on what we can do here.” This new club will be supporting causes including literacy, poverty and mental health in Richmond. All of the members are ready and eager to help. “They’re glowing stars,” McNulty said. “We’re all of like minds, we all want to help.” Amanda Oye covers the social scene for The Review. She may be reached at amanda. oye@telus.net.

Matthew Hoekstra photo Mylora Public Golf Course on No. 5 Road is closed as a new owner is considering options for the future.
Mylora golf courses sold New owners of a now-shuttered course on No. 5 Road farmland drafting subdivision proposal by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter If golfers were allowed on, the fairways at Mylora Public Golf Course on No. 5 Road would frustrate even the world’s top players. Grass now stands knee-high on the 18-hole Richmond course, which was sold in February and is poised to become subject of a redevelopment scheme that city council has yet to consider. The decades-old course sold for $7 million to Second Sun Realty Fund Ltd., according to Lawrence Lim, president of Mayfair Commercial, which brokered the deal. The 12.6-hectare (31.1-acre) parcel, at 9500 No. 5 Rd., is locked in the Agricultural Land Reserve, and designated as agriculture-community institutional—the same designation on neighbouring parcels occupied by temples and churches.

Matthew Hoekstra photo Steveston resident Cathy Sichewski raised the alarm over a city plan to lay blacktop adjacent to a community garden.
Pavement plan peeves planters in Steveston Railway greenway ‘just kept on coming,’ says surprised councillor by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A city plan to blacktop a new fourmetre-wide trail abutting a commu-
nity garden in Steveston has been quashed. What now remains is densely packed gravel that forms the tail end of a greenway even city council’s parks committee chair didn’t expect. “They just kept on coming. I didn’t expect it, and nor did anybody else,” said Coun. Harold Steves. In December council approved a 3.7-kilometre paved trail—the Railway
TONY LING
Avenue Greenway—on an old rail bed used for decades by the interurban tram system. The $2.5-million project was to connect Garry Street to Granville Avenue via a four-metre wide two-way asphalt trail. The province handed the city $449,400 in the spring, and the additional cash opened up the possibility of extending the trail. See Page 4
