Pipeline plans on track despite spill Comparing Lemon Creek and Fraser River is “apples and oranges,” says project director by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

Mediation fails to find resolution in IKEA dispute Pickets remain at Richmond furniture store as bitter labour battle continues by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter An attempt to find a resolution through mediation to a long labour dispute at IKEA’s Richmond store has failed. The company issued a statement Wednesday morning saying two weeks of mediation—which began July 13—has left the company and Teamsters Local 213 at an “impasse.” “The proposal positioned the IKEA Richmond store for future success and sustainability. Despite our efforts to address the two tier system, the union rejected IKEA’s offer,” said IKEA's Madeleine Löwenborg-Frick. Teamsters Local 213 represents approximately 325 workers, who have been out of work since May 13 when pickets went

up. They remained up this week, and no further talks are scheduled, said Löwenborg-Frick. According to Löwenborg-Frick, IKEA presented a new proposal at the start of mediation that eliminated the proposed two-tier wage system, which the union has repeatedly rejected. The new proposal included automatic wage increases and increases tied to the store’s performance. “The proposal allowed IKEA to address the union’s expressed leading concern, while also addressing the store’s poor performance. The IKEA Richmond store has consistently been the lowest performing store in Canada for sales and productivity, while having the highest staff costs.” IKEA replaced its aging Richmond store with a new Jacombs road location in April 2012. The new store is 66 per cent larger than the previous location. It continues to operate with reduced hours during the dispute. A spokesperson for the union wasn’t immediately available for comment.

A spill that filled a Slocan Valley creek with 33,000 litres of jet fuel one week ago won’t alter a proposal to build a new fuel delivery system for Vancouver International Airport. “The incident in Lemon Creek doesn’t change the way we perceive our project,” said Adrian Pollard, project director for the Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation. “We’re following it closely because what will be of interest to us is the fate of the spill, how quickly it’s cleaned up and evaporates.” The corporation, a consortium of airlines, is proposing to deliver jet fuel to YVR by barging it up the Fraser River to Riverport and transfer it to an underground pipeline. Last Friday a tanker truck delivering fuel for helicopters fighting forest fires spilled its load into Lemon Creek, near Nelson, B.C., causing toxic fumes and contaminating a local water supply. But the spill—and the potential for one under the local proposal—is comparing “apples and oranges,” noted Pollard. Under the airlines’ proposal, 1,000 tanker trucks from the U.S. that currently boost the airport’s fuel supply would be taken off the road. “Tanker trucks are a necessary evil of firefighting, but it’s something we can get rid of as part of our project. It’s certainly high on the list of benefits, we think,” said Pollard. In a YouTube video, Slocan Valley resident Sarosha Stockton provided a riverside account of the spill’s effect a day after the incident. “Fish are dying and there’s the proof right there—right in that milky contaminated water beside what used to be a fantastic fishing pool,” he said, pointing to dead fish washing up near the shore. “Now I fear that all the fish could end up like this.” See Page 4

Loose oil cap triggered airplane tragedy 2011 plane crash was survivable but for post-impact fires by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter An unsecured oil cap set in motion a series of events that led to the fatal Oct. 27, 2011 crash of a twin-engine Beechcraft King Air plane onto Russ Baker Way. The loose cap, on the plane’s left engine, resulted in a trickle of oil seeping from the engine following takeoff, and led the pilot to divert the plane—destined for Kelowna— back to Vancouver International Airport, Transportation Safety Board of Canada regional manager Bill Yearwood said Wednesday, when the final report into the crash was released. The issue of unsecured oil caps occurred frequently enough for the engine manufacturer (Pratt and Whitney Canada) to issue a service bulletin, but the modification was non-mandatory although it would have limited the oil loss to the engine. Yearwood didn’t have details about the number of accidents resulting from leaving oil caps unsecured. “It’s fair to say that the manufacturer prior to 1995 realized it was a significant enough problem to redesign the engine, or design a modification, to limit that (oil) loss. Even 15 years after, they reissued that service bulletin, which would suggest that there was still problems with people leaving these caps undone.” Yearwood believes the large majority of aircraft don’t have the modification. He acknowledged that a “puddle of oil” was noticed by a passenger

and a ramp attendant before the plane departed. “The crew acknowledged it, but did not investigate it any further. What I can say about that is...that the captain knew the night before, that engine had been topped up with oil.” “It is common for that...type of engine, if it’s overfilled, to leak oil.” During final approach to Vancouver International Airport, investigators believe the pilot applied power only to the right engine in an effort to increase the plane’s speed, causing him to loose control of the plane as it rolled left and pitched down. Though the pilot was momentarily able to regain control of the plane, its low altitude limited the recovery and the plane struck the ground.

With the left engine at idle, and the propeller blades not feathered to reduce drag, when the extra power was added to the right engine, the left engine was in fact creating so much drag, that it was like 300 to 600 horsepower pulling in the opposite direction. This caused the pilot to lose control, Yearwood said. The investigation noted that flight manuals and training programs on multi-engine planes do not include cautions and minimum control speeds for situations when one engine is at a low power setting. “Operating below these unpublished speeds can lead to loss of control of the aircraft,” the report states. Yearwood also said the crash was

survivable, if not for an ensuing fuel fire triggered by what investigators believe was arcing wires from the plane’s electrical systems, connected to a battery that remained operational even following the crash. There was evidence that after impact, there was fire in areas where wiring was concentrated in the cockpit. “More needs to be done to reduce the risks associated with post-impact fires,” the report said. “The board is therefore concerned that if no action is taken by transport Canada to address the recommendations made in the (Transportation Safety Board’s) 2006 “Safety Issues Investigation on Post Impact Fires Resulting from Small-Aircraft Accidents”, ignition sources will remain and the risk of post-impact fires will persist.”

Yearwood spoke of technology used in the automobile industry where batteries become inactive following a crash. Despite leaking oil, he said the plane’s left engine was still fully functional at the time of the crash, and would have remained functional for some time. During the return to Vancouver, air traffic controllers on two instances asked if the crew needed assistance with emergency vehicles, and they declined in both cases. “The comment was more, ‘We’re OK for now,’” Yearwood said. Yearwood showed a picture of the oil cap, which was in place, and turned, but “not latched tightly,” he said. “It’s clear that was the cause of the oil leak.” Yet, despite the oil leak, the loss of oil was insufficient to affect the engine’s operation. “The propellers were full of oil, and the engine still had sufficient oil to operate normally.” Yearwood also revealed that the plane was modified with more powerful engines and larger and lighter propellers with four blades instead of three. While these improvements would make the plane perform better when the engines are at full power, the opposite would be true when the engines are at idle or less than full power. “The propeller creates more drag than normal, so it slows the aircraft. Like having a bigger paddle in the water. When you’re paddling, it propels you faster, but when you stick it in the water, you slow more rapidly.” Sparks from the landing gear grounding on the pavement led to a fire, with broken fuel lines and spilled fuel igniting. Investigators discovered that the path of the fire followed closely the paths of the electrical wiring.

Man who stole almost a million gets sentenced Kuen Fai Poon lost his home and family, turned to theft by gambling problems by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter By the time it’s all said and done, Kuen Fai Poon, 58, will likely serve less than a year in federal prison for stealing nearly a million dollars from the Fairchild Property Group a dozen years ago. But it took 10 years of behind-thescenes work to bring him to justice. Poon’s story might have a familiar ring to it: he pulled himself up from humble beginnings in Hong Kong to become an accountant, was introduced to gambling by “friends”, wound up losing hundreds of thousands of dollars, became indebted to loan sharks who hounded him for payback and threatened his family locally and abroad, and ultimately stole from his employer, where he worked as an accountant for one of the divisions of the Fairchild Property Group.

On Wednesday afternoon in Richmond provincial court, a contrite Poon, with short pepper-grey hair, glasses and dressed in an XL red sweater and loose-fitting jogging pants courtesy Corrections Canada, wiped his eyes as he appeared before Judge Dennis Schmidt to learn his fate. A Chinese interpreter translated Judge Schmidt’s written decision as it was read out for the record. Crown counsel Jim Bird had requested a jail sentence of between three and four years, while Poon’s lawyer, William Jessop, argued a sentence of two years less a day was more appropriate. In his written reasons, Judge Schmidt factored in that Poon confessed to police even before his employer had discovered his wrongdoing back in 2000, and entered a guilty plea in court, but also that Poon fled the country after making his first court appearance. Poon began working for Fairchild in 1997, but didn’t begin stealing money until May 2000, obtaining a total of 41 fraudulent cheques. His actions were discovered when a new accounting system was introduced, which called for another em-

ployee to review cancelled cheques. “When asked for the paperwork to justify the cheques being questioned by the new system, he left the premises and called his employer within the hour leaving a voice mail message apologizing for the theft and then turned himself in to police that day,” the reasons for judgement state. Poon was born in Hong Kong and raised in poverty, and started working when he was 11 years old to support his family which consisted of his parents and three siblings who lived in a 100-square-foot home. After his first wife passed away, he remarried in 1992 and his new wife convinced him to come to Canada, which they did in 1994, when he started his own business. But within a few years, he lost that business and was forced to remortgage the family home, and got a job with Fairchild. He began gambling, encouraged by friends to play small games and then handed chits which he lost in a gambling spree. “Those chits belonged to loan sharks and were for a great deal of money,” Judge Schmidt wrote. “The loan sharks began to pres-

“The loan sharks began to pressure him for payback of the amount, which was never determined, but gathered interest of 5 per cent per day.” — Judge Dennis Schmidt sure him for payback of the amount, which was never determined, but gathered interest of 5 per cent per day. He lost his house and borrowed as much as he could from his family, but it was never enough for them to leave him alone...In order to appease these enforcers, he stole from his employer and delivered that stolen money to the criminals who were threatening him.” Crown counsel Jim Bird said that Poon was quickly located in China following his disappearance, but it took 10 years for Canada and China to negotiate his extradition. It wasn’t until December of 2012 that Poon was put on a plane and returned to Canada. Poon has been in custody for some

seven months, and will receive double credit for that time. Meaning that although he received a 30-month sentence on Wednesday, he’ll only need to serve a maximum of 16 months. But most prisoners are released after serving two-thirds of their sentence, meaning he’s looking at less than 11 months before he’s back out. Poon, through his lawyer, told the court that he plans to return to China after serving his sentence to resume his duties as the eldest child in the family. Judge Schmidt said he believes Poon is genuinely remorseful. “It is evident not only in his ultimate guilty plea, but in his actions immediately on being questioned by his colleague at his employer... His guilty plea now was no doubt a relief to the Crown, as a trial may have presented some uncertainties given the lapse of time of 12 years,” Schmidt wrote. Given the fact Poon wants to return to China, Schmidt said he didn’t include any probation in the sentence. As well, no restitution was ordered, as Fairchild has recovered most of the loss, according to the Crown.

EDITORIAL: Sharing Farm could use a hand

If there’s a farming equivalent to that saying, it would certainly apply to the work done by the amazing group of volunteers and staff at The Sharing Farm. In the midst of a fundraising campaign for the construction of a new centre of operations—the old one had mold and rodent issues that led to its recent demolition—the team of hundreds volunteers and a small group of dedicated part-time employees are appealing to help from the public for the $160,000 project. The hub would enable them to increase their productivity, and provide even more fruits and vegetables to needy local families year-round. Without one, there’s no way the workers will manage to maintain their energy levels , which will slowly begin to wane as

they make do with what they have. With a hub, their output was about 30,000 pounds of fruits and veggies annually. Without one, local

families who frequent the Richmond Food Bank and local community meals will really suffer from a lack of nutritious and healthy food options. Despite being a couple of

weeks into a crowdfunding campaign, the total toward the $40,000 first-phase goal sits at just $1,185. Many others have expressed an interest in helping the group, with

community leaders like Mack Foster, owner of the Rona store on Gilbert Road, and Vancity, each stepping up to provide immediate help in the form of $15,000 in donations each. When locals don’t get access to fresh fruits and vegetables, all of society suffers. Children are forced to replace apples and oranges with donuts and danishes, then wind up unhealthy and overweight, and eventually become a drain on the healthcare system. So it all boils down to paying now, or paying later. Every dollar invested today on a new hub will spare other costs further down the road. And those donations will reap rewards for decades to come, serving up not just nutritious greens, but creating a place that brings the community together. It will take a team effort, from local residents, businesses, churches and organizations, to get this project completed. To chip in, visit tinyurl. com/TheSharingFarm

Part one of a three-part series.

recent study by PROOF shows that nearly one in eight households (3.9 million individuals in Canada, and 1.1 million children) experienced difficulties accessing food in 2011.

This is a rise of 450,000 more Canadians from 2008 data. Food insecurity is difficult to address and currently there are no quick fixes or easy

answers. However, while we may not be able to address this provincial or national issue, there are a number of actions that individuals can engage in that help to build personal and community food security. This two part series is an effort to give residents in Richmond ways to act. These actions are suggestions and are in no way comprehensive. If readers have other ideas or insights, feel free to share them with us. Get Informed. The best actions come from a good understanding of the issues as well as a good understanding of the ways in which others have attempted to solve similar problems. Our local libraries host a wealth of literature, documentaries, and web resources that can build our understanding. As well, a resource that I have just started to use is the inter-library loan. If the library doesn’t have a book or resource, you can retrieve it from another library in another municipality (this includes universities). Here’s a sample of

books to read: The Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food (Michael Pollan), Food Wars (Tim Lang & Michael Heasman), The End of Food (Thomas Pawlik), Urban Food Revolution, Changing the Way We Feed Cities (Peter Ladner), and the Land Ethic (Aldo Leopold). While it’s great to build personal knowledge, an opportunity exists to add some of these books to your local book club. It’s a great social way to discuss the ideas and actions that you’ve read about. Some documentaries worth watching or hosting a film screening include: Food, Inc., The Power of Community, Dirt! The Movie, Food Matters, and Blue Gold: World Water Wars. Bringing in a guest speaker, or panel (sometimes even the filmmaker) is an excellent way to engage family, friends, and neighbours post film screening. Also, for those who are familiar with TED talks, there’s a whole suite on food security and food systems worth checking out. Personally, I have become very partial to

watching 10 short films rather than one feature length documentary. For those of us who are hands-on learners and need to do and act to gain knowledge, there are other ways to build understanding. One of the best ways is to gain skills by attending workshops, lectures or seminars around food topics. Learning how to grow your own food, how to prepare, shop, preserve food, and deal with food and organic scraps are some of the ways that individual and community food security can be reached. In addition, Richmond hosts a wide range of food security, nutrition, gardening, and

agricultural workshops (Food Skills for Families, Cooking on a Budget series, City of Richmond workshops) and events throughout the year (e.g. Seedy Saturday, World Food Day, Cambie Fall Fair, Garlic Festival). This first section of the three-part series looked at the use of knowledge, or The Head, to build our understanding of food security and actions that can be implemented here in Richmond. Part Two, “The Heart” will focus on community and human connections around food issues. Finally, Part Three, “The Hands” will identify specific practical tasks and actions that folks can do. I hope by the end of this series readers will be armed with the knowledge, skills, and actions to build a stronger, more sustainable food system for all, now and in the future.

Garden City Lands could encompass several public parks Editor: The Garden City Lands should not be in the Agriculture Land Reserve. The ALR, like ICBC, is historically one of a very few, very good ideas that Premier Dave Barrett and the NDP government of the day implemented. But it likely was not, and definitely should not, be the determiner of the fate of 136 acres of grassland close to the geographical centre of one of the B.C.’s largest cities. Bordered on two sides by dwellings, and on a third by the Department of National Defence lands, it will never be used as conventional, productive farmland, and is large

enough to encompass several public parks, some unique dwelling arrangements, as well as some community sports and recreation facilities. It is a rare opportunity for all to participate in a creative process to optimize most appropriately, the ultimate benefits of this land to the most citizenry. To those who propose it be essentially, left as an empty, grassy area, in which to escape the metropolitan mayhem of Richmond, well, I think you should consider this issue a little more deeply, at a local park.

However, although the food programs cited in the article are vital, it does not mention other programs that low-income people need.

War on drugs is a massive fraud on taxpayers

Editor: After living for more than 80 years in Canada, I have seen many changes— mostly good, but some not so good. Why do we need the Senate or the sister cities? Both are a waste of money, benefit only a few and should be abolished. The Chinese signs on No. 3 Road are also annoying. English lettering should be more prominent than Chinese. Not only would that placate Canadians, but would assist the few Chinese immigrants who do not speak English to learn the language. P. Scheer Richmond

It is really only ideology or the power of the vested interests, not any rational principal. 3. Supply/demand: The whole war on drugs is driven by the premise that if you control supply, you will beat the problem. But it isn’t supply side driven —it is demand side driven. As long as the demand exists, someone will supply it. As the “war” escalates, illegal profits skyrocket, further increasing the motive to supply. Prohibition didn’t work with alcohol, why would it now. 4. Harm reduction: The theory seems to be that trying to reduce supply, we are protecting the users or possible users. All that means is that there is no quality control. And the ideologues aren’t willing to fund adequate rehab services. So, in fact, the war is increasing the harm. I think that any complete analysis would show that if we diverted the massive funds now spent on police, courts and prisons to education and rehab services, we would be both financially and socially much better off. The education approach has certainly worked with tobacco. The perverse and unintended consequence of the war against marijuana was to make everything much, much worse. Ian MacLeod Richmond

not going to happen. Voltaire said, almost 250 years ago, “the perfect is the enemy of the good.”Well, that is what is happening here. Just saying drugs are harmful is really myopic. Of course they are—some more so that others, and some based on the individual and on the dosages and frequencies of use. But if the “remedy” is more harmful than the harm, then only a blind ideologue will persist in pursuing that failing remedy. Any college first year business student knows that when you have a problem, you look at the solution options, and choose the one, on balance, with the best benefit. For the smaller benefit of “trying” to reduce drug use, we have an ideologically driven machine that causes more harm (taxes; lives of experimenting kids destroyed by the law - not the drug use; growing cynicism for any respect for the law; funding organized crime and terrorists; street gangs; shootings; minimal addiction services; and on and on) than any possible benefit (a few less using drugs). Even any amateur problem solver should be able to see that. 2. Principal: maybe we should step back and ask why we even have the prohibition on drugs. Admittedly, they can be harmful (although, with some, probably not to the level of political hype). But so are cigarettes and alcohol harmful (each killing thousands every year), and junk foods and cars that

Editor: On marijuana criminalization, we are still asking the wrong question. It should not be “is marijuana harmful?” (it may well be) but rather “is prohibition causing more harm that it cures? (certainly, yes). I am in no way advocating for the use of drugs (I am an aging baby boomer, I don’t use drugs, don’t smoke, and only occasionally even drink alcohol). However, the so called “war on drugs” is a massive fraud on taxpayers, parents and the addicted. It causes much more harm than it cures. The "war" funds organized crime, funds terrorists and uses our taxes to pay thousands of police, lawyers and prison guards (financially, all on the same side as the criminals—ironic, huh!) and builds massive disrespect for the law amongst our young people and, for all that, does little to curb drug use. Cynicism also grows, because our youth well knows that perhaps half of the baby boomers—today's lawmakers—on the polls, experimented with marijuana or other drugs in their youth (even if they didn’t inhale!). Under our so-called "justice", the only reason those lawmakers are not rotting in jail is blind luck or money. As to the war on drugs, it is tough to think of any rational basis for the war, on at least four levels: 1. Cost/benefit: The perfect outcome would probably be that people didn't use drugs.

Free workshop for tenants and landlords

The process of renting can be a stressful time for both tenants and landlords. The Richmond Poverty Response Committee is trying to make that process a little easier through a free workshop. Called “Building Successful Tenant-Landlord Relations,” the objective of the workshop is to connect and educate the two parties, said De Whalen, chair of the Richmond Poverty Response Committee. “It provides an opportunity for tenants and landlords to learn about their rights and responsibilities as partners in a rental contract. They meet each other in a comfortable setting and connect with each other in a friendly learning atmosphere. They all learn the same information at the same time so each participant knows what the other does,” said Whalen. Part of the Richmond Poverty Response Committee’s Richmond Rental Connect program developed to alleviate current access and cost pressures in the Richmond affordable rent market, the workshops will be offered on Aug. 7 and Oct. 7. Whalen said it’s a win-win for everyone. “Tenants come away with an understanding of the rules around rental arrangements, such as getting a receipt for rent paid. Landlords come away with a understanding of their rights and obligations, such as learning ways to resolve concerns quickly.” The workshops will be held at South Arm United Church at 11051 No. 3 Rd. from 6:30 to 9 p.m. To register, call and leave a message at 604-205-4700 or e-mail info@richmodnrentalconnect.ca.

Blood donors urged to honour appointments Canadian Blood Services is urging residents who have booked an appointment to give blood, or plan to donate, to please honour their appointments. Upcoming clinics in Richmond include: •Thursday, Aug. 8 from 1 to 8 p.m. – Beth Tikvah Congregation, 9711 Geal Rd. •Friday, Aug. 9 from 12 to 7 p.m. – St. Paul’s School (gym), 8251 St. Alban’s Rd. During the summer months, donors change their routines, take vacations and are involved with outdoor activities, so donating blood is not always top of mind. However, the need for blood does not take a summer vacation. There are 51,000 appointments to fill between now and Sept. 3 to keep blood inventory at an acceptable level, including more than 9,000 appointments in the B.C. and Yukon region. One blood donation equals one unit of blood. Canadian Blood Services is counting on Richmond area residents to give blood this summer. If you can’t make your appointment, call 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888236-6283) to reschedule so an appointment can be made available for another donor.

From Page 11 One inspiration was Amon Tobin’s album Foley Room from 2007, which used original samples. (A foley room is where sound effects are recorded for films.) The trip to Cuba proved to be fertile ground for recording. “When I went to Cuba, I wasn’t doing those recordings...to use as music,” he said. But while touring a cave near Havana, did a quick recording and playback to demonstrate the device to the guides, one of whom constantly made whistling, clucking and various other noises. “When I recorded that, I wanted to start recording for use with musical instruments. He just had so much personality and he was a really good whistler,” Riesterer recalls with a laugh. Those noises form the basis of the track “La Cueva.” An elevator inspired “Ascensor.” While in a building, “In typical Cuban fashion, the elevator doesn’t stop on our floor. It doesn’t even stop on the floor below us. The old elevator had a neat rhythm to it so I recorded it and used it as the foundation for this song. While I was record-

Sonidos De Cuba was released in May.

ing the elevator opened and a man got on and we had a rather awkward and confusing conversation. You can hear bits of it in the song...,” Riesterer wrote on his blog. Once back at home, Riesterer began a very long process of putting the album together. He performed almost all of the instruments himself and even some local sounds found there way onto the album—a customer with a memorable voice winds up on “Jinetero” while an outdoor wind chime lends itself to “Ascensor.” For more info on Sonidos De Cuba, or Riesterer’s work, see his website at www. sublimesound.com.

Rapids second at provincial swimming champs For the first time in the club’s history, the Richmond Rapids were runners-up at the provincial AAA long course championships. In an unprecedented and dramatic conclusion, the Rapids’ 39 swimmers combined for the highest ranking the club has ever reached. First was only 11 points away. “To put this in perspective, the winner of any event earns 50 points for their team and eighth 11,” explained coach Drew McClure. Morgan Mark, who now swims for the University of Hawaii, claimed four medals—three in the freestyle disciplines. And a trio of 11 year olds distinguished themselves as Matthew Crawford defended his 100 backstroke title from short course, Jeremy Fung earned his first B.C. medal in the 1500, and Dini McIver earned two medals. The boys’ U14 relay team won all three contests, a feat they’ve been able to do several times, while the U12 team won three bronze medals. “This was the craziest ses-

HOWEVER YOU DEFINE COMMUNITY, WE CALL IT AN EASY WAY TO MEET AND CONNECT WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS. It’s just one of the many reasons residents love calling Morgan Crossing home. It could be at the chalk art festival on Main Street (see below!), or one of the many other events, like movie nights in the summer or resident parties. How about chatting with fellow dog owners at the Morgan Crossing Dog Park, or meeting during a class or workout at Steve Nash Sports Club. Or just hanging out at the coffee shops and restaurants, at a wine tasting at Everything Wine, or on a bench on Main Street. You’ll see and meet lots of the people who live and work at Morgan Crossing… and maybe even ask out your cute neighbour, Amy. Because loving where you live should be about more than just loving your stunning condo (though we have lots of those too!).

brother who competed in the Canada Summer Games in 2009. Keeping with the family theme, Roberts, who’ll tend goal for Team B.C.’s men’s soccer team, is from an extended athletic family. His great uncle Roger Roberts competed for Britain as a swimmer at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City and held several British records. Richmond’s contribution to the 50-athlete Team B.C. is further extended by Justin Turner-Pearce who’ll play fullback for the men’s soccer team; Sofya Romashina, a foilist on the fencing team; and Haolong Fan competing in tennis. There are also three locals on the Team BC coaching staff: Jon Acob (basketball), Grant Brehaut (diving) and Victor Gantsevich (fencing). The Canada Games (through Aug. 17) is a provincial/territorial competition for athletes aged 22 and under.

The majority of future Olympians cut their teeth at the Canada Games, a trend Richmond athletes are likely to continue at the 2013 Summer Games beginning Friday in Sherbrooke, Que. Some have already enjoyed considerable international success, including fencers Dylan French and Shaul Gordon. Both members of the local Dynamo Fencing Club, French was 13th at last year’s under-17 world championships while Gordon placed sixth at the world juniors last April in Croatia. High jumper Emma Kimoto is the current National Collegiate Athletic Association’s Big 10 Conference indoor and outdoor champion and an academic all-star at Indiana University. And Luke Reilly, who under the guidance of his University of B.C. Dolphins’ coach Brian Johns (a three-time Olympian also from Richmond) is part of Swimming Canada’s development team. The talent pool continues with rower Colin Schaap, who competes for Northeast University and in 2011 was part of Canada’s men’s four that placed eighth at the 2011 world junior championship. Hillary Strelau had the highest batting average in the Northwest college women’s softball league in her freshman season at Douglas College. And Magnus Batara won nine gold medals in swimming at the B.C. Summer Games in 2012. Kristen Almhjell is a talented R.A. McMath graduate who aspires to play for Canada’s national women’s volleyball team; Yasmin Bains, a second-year women’s softball player at University of B.C. is an allCanadian student athlete; and Kelly Jackson, UBC freshman rower of the year in 2012 and a member of the dean’s list, is following in the footsteps of her

Discover Your Sport on Aug. 25 Event provides opportunity to try out wide variety of athletics by Don Fennell Sports Editor Discover Your Sport is returning for a second year. Presented by Richmond Sports Council, City of Richmond, The Richmond Review and KidSport Richmond, the one-day event (from noon to 4 p.m. Aug 25 at Minoru Park) is an opportunity for the public to try out some of the sports offered in the community. The Richmond Kyokushin Karate Club participated in last year’s inaugural event, and head instructor Stuart Corrigal was impressed by the positive response last year’s event received. “With the changing cultural demographics of the community, our club, like many other martial arts clubs in Richmond have experienced a lot of ups and downs in terms of membership,” says Corrigal. “There are so many different opportunities for youth today. Our

club has, for a long time, felt the need to reach out and embrace those in the community who may not be aware of the various programs and spinoff benefits that we offer.” Continues Corrigal: “An event like Discover Your Sport certainly creates a much higher profile for all the participating sports organizations. Of course, a karate demonstration always seems to attract a crowd.” Corrigal hoped participating in the inaugural Discover Your Sport last year would help raise the profile of the Richmond Kyokushin Karate Club, and perhaps generate a few new memberships. He was pleasantly surprised when four families signed up as a result of seeing the demonstration, followed shortly by a couple more through word of mouth. “(Another) very positive spinoff from Discover Your Sport was the club expanding to include a very successful family class,” he says.

“I received considerable feedback from a number of people that this was one of the only activities where families could all join in together. After all the years of doing this as a hobby (Richmond Kyokushin Karate started in 1967) it is very satisfying to know that there are always new opportunities that we can present to the community.” Corrigal hopes more Richmond youth sports groups will want to participate, and more of the public will take the opportunity to come out and try a sport in a relaxed, non-competitive environment. Those attending Discover Your Sport day will receive a special collector’s passport, along with a map pointing each the location of each of the participating sports groups, at the main entrance beside Minoru Pavilion. All passport holders who have their book fully stamped by the participating sports groups will be eligible for a prize.

Clarke on NCAA pre-season freshman team Summer Clarke has received her first honour as an National Collegiate Athletic Association athlete—and her college soccer career hasn’t even kicked off yet. The 18-year-old Richmond soccer sensation, who will begin pre-season training with the Louisiana State University Tigers Aug. 6, is one of 11 rookies nationwide selected to the Pre-season All-Freshman Team.

The Tigers are the No. 1-ranked team in the Southeast Conference and No. 13 in the NCAA for 2013. “During the evaluation process, our staff rated Summer the top striker in North America for the Class of 2013,” said LSU head coach Brian Lee. Clarke, who most recently led the Vancouver Whitecaps girls’ elite team to the Gothia Cup title in the under-19 di-

vision on July 20 in Gothenburg, Sweden, has developed into one of the world’s most feared strikers at the youth level with her experience in the Canadian women’s national team system at the under-17 and under-20 levels. She was the leading scorer for the U-17 Canadian team during the 2012 season, which included setting a national record with six goals with her ef-

Life among the trees at Intergulf’s Cedar Creek By Kerry Vital

There’s nothing as wonderful as coming home after a long day and relaxing. The townhomes at Intergulf Development Group’s Cedar Creek North are like a breath of fresh air on Coquitlam’s master-planned community of Burke Mountain. “When you buy at Cedar Creek you can rest assured that you are getting the best-built townhomes the industry has to offer,” says Intergulf ’s Sasha Faris. “Our townhomes offer luxurious

finishes, great design and a palatable price to go along with it.” The homes at Cedar Creek are spacious and inviting, with their open floorplans and beautiful features. The kitchens are particularly gorgeous, with their stainless-steel appliances, custom-built Shaker-style wood cabinetry, natural granite countertop and island and chic glass mosaic tile backsplash. The bathrooms feature their own custom-built Shaker-style cabinetry, complemented by a natural granite countertop with a granite backsplash, vanity mirror with matching wood frame

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

and a modern custom-built cubic vessel sink. A soaker tub and rain-head shower nozzle adds to the feeling of calm in the space, along with a sleek ceramic tile bath-shower surround and porcelain tile floor. The electric fireplace in every home is perfect for gathering around for some cozy downtime, or if you’re in the mood for some sun, the lush landscaping draws you outside. You’ll also find private balconies, patios and decks in the homes at Cedar Creek. Burke Mountain features several parks and schools in the neighbourhood, with shopping, dining and recreation opportunities just minutes away in the Coquitlam Centre area. The community is a highly sought-after location, so Faris notes that time is running out to purchase. “With this being the last phase of the Cedar Creek townhouse project, this is the final chance to own affordable luxury atop Burke Mountain,” she says. Homes at Cedar Creek North start at $419,900 and are move-in ready. For more information about Cedar Creek, visit www.cedarcreekhomes.ca or call 604-880-1880.

The homes at Citadel Heights are built in a Craftsman style, with private decks and porches. Among the gorgeous features you’ll find in your new home is a convenient kitchen island, stainless-steel appliances and plenty of space to entertain, bottom right.

Exceptional homes at Citadel Heights By Kerry Vital

Bluetree Homes is hitting new heights with Citadel Heights, its single-family home community in Port Coquitlam. With an established location, gorgeous homes and the peace of mind that comes with buying from a well-known developer (Bluetree comes from ParkLane Homes), there’s no better time to buy than right now.

The surrounding Citadel Heights neighbourhood is becoming a popular place to live, and these 29 homes are selling quickly. “The response to this new community has been outstanding,” says Bluetree’s General Manager, Sales and Marketing Yosh Kasahara. “We’ve already sold all of the homes in our initial release and are now pre-selling homes that will complete later this year.” Bluetree is known as your friendly neighbourhood builder, and the reputation continues with Citadel Heights. The Craftsman-style architecture and rich exterior colours combine to make for a striking picture as you arrive home. There’s definitely no shortage of curb appeal here. “Our buyers love the Craftsman-style architecture of these homes,” says Kasahara. “These homes will retain their value because they have that timeless look.”

Join GVHBA Wednesday, Aug. 14 and network with the best!

The four- and five-bedroom floorplans range from 2,800 to 3,515 square feet. Big windows and a great room layout in some homes combine for an airy, spacious feeling that lets the natural light flow from room to room. You’ll especially love the dramatic vaulted ceilings in the master bedroom. Every home includes plenty of outdoor living space, with either decks or patios and front porches. You’ll also find a neighbourhood with mature landscaping, and established parks and schools just minutes away. The gourmet kitchens are centrally located in every home for maximum convenience. That continues with their eating nooks, breakfast bars and kitchen islands, making entertaining or a quick meal extremely easy. Buyers are able to choose between traditional shaker-style cabinetry or a modern flat-

panel style. Stainless-steel appliances are complemented by the quartz composite stone countertops, ceramic tile backsplash and sophisticated undermount cabinet lighting. Hand-set porcelain tile flooring is included in the entrance, kitchen and nook, powder room and laundry room, with elegant engineered hardwood throughout the rest of the main livings areas. The gas fireplace with its contemporary quartz composite stone surround and custom-designed mantel is sure to be a showpiece, or just the perfect place to relax. In the ensuite, you’ll find quartz composite stone countertops, a spa-like tub and shower with a decorative ceramic and glass accent and your choice of shaker-style or chic flatpanel cabinetry. Citadel Heights is perfectly situated, with shopping, dining, schools and recreation very close by. You’ll also have easy access to the rest of the Lower Mainland via Lougheed Highway or Highway 1, giving you the best of both worlds: a quiet neighbourhood within easy reach of every amenity you can imagine. “This community is unique because the surrounding neighbourhood is already established,” Kasahara says. “We know these homes won’t last long because there simply isn’t anything like this available in the market today.” Homes start at $829,900. For more information, visit bluetreehomes.ca, call 604468-2169 or visit the sales centre at 2195 Nova Scotia Avenue, Port Coquitlam, open daily except Fridays between noon and 5 p.m.

Julia Olsen photos The East Richmond Community Association hosted its annual Summer Fun Night at King George Park on Tuesday. With attendance well over 100 the park was brimming with laughter and smiles. Children really enjoyed the facepainting and games with the adults joining in as well. And at 6:30 p.m. the Gathering Place was transformed into a Karaoke bar with everyone joining in. As a finale, one of Cambie Community Centre’s volunteers, Jack Zhou, led the children in a karaoke version of the ever popular Gangam style.
