Marijuana mansion’s forfeiture upheld by court Grow-op found in $1.33 million home raided by Mounties

Evgenia Rabinovich plays a $535,000 golf leaf Fazioli piano at Aberdeen Centre's Showcase Pianos.

There's gold in those trills 24K gold leaf Fazioli piano on display at Aberdeen A 24K gold leaf Fazioli piano is on public display this month at Aberdeen Centre’s Showcase Pianos/Fazioli, the only one of its kind in the world.

Designed by local interior designer Thu

Watson, owner of Metropolitan Furniture in Vancouver, the piano was played Friday by 20-year-old Evgenia Rabinovich, who is back in Richmond on break from studying piano on scholarship at Mannes College in New York.

“It shines in its own way,” said Rabinovich.

She’s played many Faziolis, and this one sounds different. Whether that’s because of the use of gold, Rabinovich wasn’t sure.

“It has almost a livelier sound. It’s more real, not bright, but live.”

Manuel Bernaschek, president of Showcase Pianos, said the 24K piano will be delivered to its Vancouver owner, who wishes to remain anonymous, next month.

The $535,000 piano flew first class from Italy, where it was made by hand. It’s the only goldleaf Fazioli piano in the world.

The Court of Appeal of B.C. has upheld the forfeiture of a $1.33-million Richmond mansion to the Crown after police found a sophisticated marijuana growing operation inside in 2007.

Fan Qiang Zeng argued that the grow-op was the brainchild of his exwife, who was the occupant of the home. He argued that a Richmond provincial court judge failed to address the impact of the forfeiture of the home to his family, and that the forfeiture was unreasonable and not supported by the evidence.

But Justice Elizabeth A. Bennett dismissed the appeal, with Justice John E. Hall and Justice Anne W. MacKenzie agreeing.

It was in November of 2007 when Richmond RCMP raided two homes in two days in the same South Arm neighbourhood. One of the homes, at 9331 Bakerview Dr., has an assessed value of $1.33 million, and contained 760 plants, a barricaded door and a bypassed electrical system in the garage.

Liver cancer is on the rise Inaugural Stroll for Liver fundraiser comes to Garry Point Park this Saturday

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Many inroads have been made in raising public awareness, reducing risks and researching cures and treatments for various forms of cancer over the decades.

But liver cancer remains an outlier, as one of the fastest rising of all cancers in Canada.

And it’s deadly too, with a five-year survival rate of just 20 per cent.

Most types of cancer in men and women saw decreases in death rates over the past three decades, with lung cancer in women and liver cancer in both sexes being the notable exceptions.

This Saturday morning, organizers are hoping to raise money for scientific research, educational programs and patient support, during the inaugural Stroll for Liver fundraiser at Garry Point Park in Steveston.

Elena Murgoci, regional director for the B.C. and Yukon region of the Canadian Liver Foundation, is hoping to draw a few hundred people to the event in hopes of raising awareness about “Canada’s liver health crisis.”

While the Stroll for Liver has been around for a decade in many parts of Canada, this is the first year it’s come to Richmond.

And considering Richmond’s ethnic composition, the event’s coming is timely. For most cancers, mortality rates are lower among South Asians, but that’s not the case with liver cancer.

International Summer Night Market CEO Paul Cheung became a sponsor of this year’s event because of a family connection to the disease that impacts more than 400,000 people in B.C. and Yukon.

About 1,000 people in Canada are expected to die from liver cancer this year, with another 2,000 expected to develop primary liver cancer.

There are a lot of myths and misconceptions about liver cancer that appear to play a part in it being considered an uncomfortable topic of discussion, one that’s shuffled to the sidelines

Martin van den Hemel photo International Summer Night Market CEO Paul Cheung and Canadian Liver Foundation regional director Elena Murgoci, encourage locals to head out to Garry Point Park this Saturday morning to participate in the inaugural Stroll for Liver fundraising event, a five-kilometre walk that kicks off at 9:30 a.m. Registration begins at 8 a.m., with the opening ceremony at 9 a.m.

until it’s too late, Cheung said.

That was the case for family and friends of Cheung, he said.

So now he wants to do something about it.

“Unlike other diseases, it can lay dormant in your body for 20 or 30 years...And because the liver has no pain receptors, it’s not like any other organ where you feel it right away,” Murgoci said.

The Canadian Liver Foundation is urging people to get tested for Hepatitis B or C, as there are about 300,000 British Columbians who know they have hepatitis, and a “whole other major group who have it and don’t know they have it,” she said.

Hepatitis B is the number one cause of liver cancer, Murgoci said.

“But by the time people are being diagnosed, it’s already in the end stage,” she said.

The incidence of liver cancer has tripled in men and doubled in women since 1970.

But if liver cancer is caught early enough, there are things that can be done.

“We need to build more awareness about it so we can save lives,” Cheung said.

Heavy alcohol use, obesity, diabetes and smoking are among several factors associated with a higher risk of liver cancer.

The misconception that liver cancer is the result of heavy drinking of alcoholic

beverages is one of the stigmas that’s kept the disease in the shadows, Murgoci and Cheung said.

And considering the vital roles the liver plays, perhaps it’s not surprising that the mortality rate is so high. The liver performs more than 500 functions essential to life, including processing everything we eat, drink, breathe or rub on our skin.

Stroll for Liver will be held on Saturday, Aug. 17, at Garry Point Park in Steveston. Registration begins at 8 a.m., with the opening ceremony at 9 a.m. and the five-kilometre walk at 9:30 a.m.

Richmond Maritime Festival smashes a pair of records Record crowd plus record performance make for great 10th anniversary edition

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

Justinne Ramirez photo 180 people completed the nursery rhyme relay at the Richmond Maritime Festival.

It was a record-setting weekend in more ways than one at the 10th annual Richmond Maritime Festival.

Some 40,000 people turned up for the three-day festival, nearly 15 per cent more than last year.

And on Friday, 180 people completed the nursery rhyme relay, setting

what Richmond officials are hoping is a new Guinness World Record.

City spokesperson Ted Townsend said the gloomy start to Sunday had organizers concerned, but by the afternoon, sunny skies returned, with record crowds gathering at the Britannia Shipyards on the Steveston waterfront.

“The festival’s been gaining a lot of momentum as it becomes more known locally and regionally,” Townsend said.

It was three years ago that city officials redoubled their efforts on the festival, with a focus on activating the entire site.

“It’s just grown leaps and bounds since then,” Townsend said.

On Friday, local volunteers gathered

to watch the Guinness Record attempt at the nursery rhyme relay, hoping to beat the prior record of 154.

The effort didn’t disappoint, with 180 people in a row successfully singing the lyrics to “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” one word at a time, keeping in step with the music.

The effort will be submitted to the Guinness World Record organization, with hopes of hearing back in the next couple of months, Townsend said.

“We believe we’ve got a new world record.”

The tall ship Lady Washington, which stars as Captain Hook’s vessel in the locally shot ABC TV series Once Upon a Time, was again a popular draw.

Locals are invited to relive their youthful days while supporting children with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities during the sixth annual Pirate Pak Day fundraiser today (Aug. 14).

Since the fundraiser was launched in 2008, it has raised more than $200,000.

“Pirate Pak Day is the perfect chance to revisit those memories while supporting a good cause,” said White Spot president Warren Erhart. $2 from the sale of each child and adult Pirate Pak sold at White Spot restaurants in B.C. and Alberta will go to the Zajac Ranch for Children during the White Spot Week summer camp, which runs from Aug. 19 to 23.

Added to the menu in 1968, Pirate Paks feature a burger, fries, coleslaw, a soft drink, a scoop of ice cream and a “gold” chocolate coin, served in the iconic Pirate Pak boat.

Since 1968, 23 million Pirate Paks have been sold, including 785,199 last year.

Youth inspire with their artwork World Cup Live Painting Competition at Olympic oval

by Don Fennell Staff Reporter Every work of art inspires.

And every dollar makes a difference.

The Canada Youth Arts Development Foundation provides a unique way to expand the reach of both through its annual Youth World Cup Live Painting Competition and One Dollar for One Poor Child charity.

In Support of United Nations Children’s Fund School-In-A-Box program which gives the gift of education, the painting competition and accompanying charity event is a global artistic exchange.

“This year we have 2,000 participants from 33 countries all over the world, including more than 200 from Greater Vancouver who’ve come here today to paint together,” Amelia Gao, vice-chair of the organizing committee, said Tuesday during the competition finals at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

Divided into four age groups, youth aged four to 25 showed

their artistic flair and imagination. Inspired by this year’s theme: Friendship, Dream and Environment Protection, some of the work also expressed the artists’ views on topics such as global warming.

“I was so excited to see so many kids and their passion to paint,” said Gao. “The quality of artwork is really good and we hope we can help them publish their artwork. Last year we published a book and hope to do that again this year.”

Each of the participants also donated $1 for the UNICEF SchoolIn-A-Box program. Gao said hopefully all of the children and their parents will have gained further awareness of the plight of the poor throughout the world.

“Many children don’t have any schools and are just living in tents,” she said. “Just $240 can provide 40 children with a teacher and a classroom. So we think this event is very meaningful. Even with $1 we can change the world.”

The idea for the Youth World Cup Live Painting Competition, and accompanying support for the UNICEF project, originated with Weizhang Meng, who chaired this year’s painting competition.

Dry summer hasn’t drained Metro water reservoirs Levels normal, officials credit tougher lawn sprinkling rules

by Jeff Nagel Black Press Despite a sunny and rain-free July, Richmond residents and Metro Vancouverites kept tap water usage under control.

And regional district officials are crediting tightened lawn sprinkling regulations for the water conservation success during the record dry spell.

Metro Vancouver dispensed an average of 1.45 billion litres a day last month, with a peak of 1.6 billion litres on July 24.

The region consistently stayed well below its one-day record high for water consumption of more than two million litres set four years ago.

“It appears that mornings-only lawn sprinkling regulations across the region have helped to reduce the demand for our high-quality drinking water in summer, when the demand for water soars dur-

Lawn sprinkling is only allowed before 9 a.m. in the morning, three days a week, between June 1 and Sept. 30.

ing hot and sunny days,” said North Vancouver City Mayor Darrell Mussatto, who chairs Metro’s utilities committee.

Metro decided to ban evening lawn sprinkling to ease demand at peak hours when many households are running dishwashers, clothes washers and baths.

Metro reservoirs are currently about 78 per cent full—somewhat lower levels than the previous two summers when more rain fell, but still well within what’s considered the normal range.

Metro has plenty of water most of the year but its North

Shore reservoirs can run low in the peak-use summer months if homes and businesses consume too much.

Mussatto said collective diligence in conserving water helps postpone the need for costly new projects to build higher dams and bigger mains and pumping stations.

Lawn sprinkling is only allowed before 9 a.m. in the morning, three days a week, between June 1 and Sept. 30.

Watering of shrubs, trees, flowers and vegetables are exempt from the lawn restrictions.

London hosts Family Farm Day Sunday The annual London Family Farm Day always draws a crowd. But with a unique twist, this year’s event promises to be even more appealing.

Along with such traditional attractions as a petting zoo, pony rides, raffle prizes and live music, Sunday’s community celebration will feature the nylon zoo.

That’s where visitors— that’s you—become the performers. It promises to be a whole lot of fun.

It all gets going at 10 a.m., with the fun continuing until 4 p.m. at London Heritage Farm, 6511 Dyke Road.

The farm is home to a fully-restored, 1880sbuilt farmhouse and located in a park-like setting across from the South Arm of the Fraser River. The house is open to the public with entrance by donation and features six rooms, including a countrystyle tea room which serves London Farm’s own blend of tea and homemade scones. For info, see www.london heritagefarm.ca.

Grow op took up an entire floor From Page 1 The Bakerview home was owned by Zeng, but it was his ex-wife Ye Jin Li who eventually pled guilty to marijuana production in 2010.

In 2011, the Crown applied in Richmond provincial court to have the 4,000-square-foot mansion forfeited, and Judge Yee agreed.

Justice Bennett wrote: “If one crop had been harvested, Mr. Zeng would have been repaid most or all of his down payment. This was a commercial operation occupying most of the property. The set-up posed a risk to the neighbours by both the electrical bypass and the fortification of the doors, as trouble was clearly apprehended.”

The Bakerview grow-op was con-

tained on the entire upper floor of the five-bedroom home, with plants found in all bedrooms and bathroms.

“There was living space on the lower floor. The equipment used to grow the plants was powered by electricity from an electrical bypass concealed in the wall of the garage. The plants were growing under 31 industrial lights connected to timers, which ran between 12-18 hours a day...The side door to the property was barred from the inside with a metal bar and brackets,” the judgement said.

Zeng told the court he borrowed $360,000 as a down payment on the Bakerview home by taking out a mortgage. The value of the crop seized by police was between $255,000 and $426,000.

EDITORIAL: The senate doesn’t get it

T

he latest revelation from the ongoing Senate expense scandal is that Saskatchewan Senator Pamela Wallin will likely be asked to repay about $120,000 in expenses.

This comes as a result of an external audit of her expenses, which in about two years were more than $300,000.

While Prime Minister Stephen Harper has worked to try and reform the Senate from within since winning

power in 2006, it is clear that this institution just doesn’t get it.

It is notable that two of the most profligate senators in the spending department, Wallin and Mike Duffy, were longtime TV journalists who regularly reported on numerous scandals in Ottawa. They join two other senators, Mac Harb and Patrick Brazeau, in showing Canadians how out of touch the Senate is with the real folks who pay taxes to support this kind of behaviour. All but Harb were appointed by

Harper.

Harper’s government has now asked the Supreme Court of Canada to rule on just how Senate reform can proceed, as the institution is mandated in the constitution and thus is very hard to change. But it clearly has a lot of institutional problems which are deep-rooted.

The vast majority of the public support abolition at present. If there was a national referendum on abolition, it would likely pass in each province, which would probably be enough of a popular mandate to

support a constitutional change.

But provinces don’t give up powers easily, and all it would take is one province which decided to go against the popular will for whatever reason it deems appropriate.

The Senate is badly in need of radical reform. Perhaps a first step would be to limit senators’ expenses to a modest maximum amount which would cover real expenses run up in the course of their duties, such as travel to meetings and modest accommodations when out of town.

The Conservatives have a majority in the Senate, thanks to a raft of appointments from Harper. If the government wants to truly do something to remove at least some of the stench from the Senate, it must act swiftly to show the public that it takes misappropriations of public money seriously.

Otherwise, the Senate scandal will be a potent factor in the next federal election, and the outrage by many members of the public won’t be good news for the governing party.

Another round of liquor reforms

B.C. Views

Tom Fletcher

T

he B.C. Liberal government is ordering up another round of liquor regulation changes, looking for ways to make life easier for businesses and customers without aggravating the health and social problems associated with alcohol.

Discussions with B.C.’s 10,000 liquor licence holders have identified a few problems that should be fixed. Going into a consultation phase that runs to October, the government is looking for answers to a few obvious questions, such as why it takes a pub or bar up to a year to get a licence.

Another question: why can a family with underaged children go into a licensed restaurant for lunch, but can’t go to a pub and place the exact same food and drink order? This should be allowed, perhaps until the traditional 5 p.m. “happy hour” when the pub reverts to adults-only.

A couple of suggestions have come out of the healthy growth of B.C. wine, craft beer and distillery operations. Look for new licence opportunities for farmers’ markets to sell

Osoyoos Indian Band photo Wineries such as Nk’mip Cellars in Osoyoos can now get licences for tasting rooms, as can craft distilleries. The B.C. government is looking at further reforms.

local beverages along with the produce and preserves.

Letters inviting suggestions from existing licence holders have gone out, and Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap will be meeting this fall with industry groups, local governments, police, health and social policy organizations and First Nations in the fall.

A website will be put up in September so members of the public can have their say.

Here’s my suggestion to start things off.

Recent incidents involving so-called “party buses” shone a light on this growing industry, The sudden death of a 16-year-old on a party bus outing in Surrey in February turned out not to be alcohol-related, but to no one’s surprise, open liquor was found aboard the bus.

Open liquor isn’t allowed in any vehicle, but perhaps a new kind of special event licence could be created for

party buses. They have been viewed mainly as part of the solution to impaired driving, and the situation isn’t much different from a supervised event on a boat.

Here’s another suggestion.

Gourmet cooking classes are becoming popular, with customers preparing and then enjoying their meals.

Why not licence these establishments, at least so people can bring their own wine for dinner?

Both the B.C. Liberals and NDP have advocated for easing the archaic rules on inter-provincial trade in wine. B.C. lifted its restrictions on mail-order wine and has urged other provinces to follow suit.

There are a couple of reasons why this Prohibition-era structure persists.

Liquor sales are a cash cow for provincial governments, and every case of wine brought in from elsewhere is lost profit for the provincial

Richmond-Steveston John Yap.

MLA

wholesale monopoly. Then there is the local industry lobby that would rather not add to its competition.

Premier Christy Clark pressed this point at the recent premiers’ meeting in Ontario wine country, bringing in the maximum amount of B.C. wine allowed under Ontario rules and urging free trade in Canadian wine.

The Toronto media drank it up, aghast that they

were barred from ordering the latest Naramata Bench tipples directly. No movement so far from the Ontario government, in a province that has done well developing its own wine industry.

The B.C. government will no doubt be lobbied again to allow beer and wine sales in grocery and convenience stores. Our politicians show little interest in that, which is understandable. The B.C. Liberals don’t want to upset the private liquor stores they have nurtured for a decade, and the NDP would never risk annoying the government liquor store union.

There are more creative ways to liberalize alcohol sales.

Residents have been very tolerant with issues related to immigration Editor: I found the letter “What are the Anglophones of Richmond really scared of?” (Letters, ) offensive and very unfair to many Richmond residents and concerned citizens.

Are we to surrender our views on many issues of civic importance for fear of being branded a closet racist or anti-immigrant?

Can I not object to a past onslaught of “monster” houses and press for updated building bylaws without being labelled as unwelcoming to immigrants? Can I not object to Chinese-only signage in our city, when our Canadian constitution deems English and French as our official languages—part of the currency that binds us together as a Canadian family regardless of ethnicity, without being accused of being a racist or insensitive?

I welcome the vibrancy that immigrants of all backgrounds have brought to Richmond and welcome their participation in all aspects of our community, and count many among my friends; my wife is a recent immigrant. I will not, however, surrender my views on important issues to those who misinterpret an opposing stance on issues as intolerant.

Richmond residents have been extremely tolerant over the years to the unprecedented immigration and changes to our community and do not deserve this type of criticism. I am far less concerned about actual racism in our midsts than those who make accusation of racism to stifle community discourse.

Cyclists need to pay attention Editor: I’ve found a new source of revenue for the city: the new public pathway along Railway. It’s positively amazing how many people are using the path even though it’s not yet complete. However, most of the bike riders on the path are not wearing helmets. If the city placed an officer at a strategic location, at $100 per fine, it could recoup a fair amount of construction costs. Oh wait, maybe that would be provincial revenue. Drat!

On the more serious side though, other than wearing the mandatory bike helmet, bike riders need to make themselves aware of the rules of the road.

In the past two weeks, lack of attention and sheer stupidity has almost cost three people their lives. One night two adults with a small child were riding on the pathway. Neither adult was wearing a helmet. The male in the lead totally ignored the barricade and

• Electric Fireplaces

rode right across the road in front of an oncoming vehicle.

Another night, two adults wearing helmets, raced across Steveston Highway in the crosswalk, against the light. The third time, a male rider speeding down the path took a wide arc around the barrier and rode into the path of an oncoming vehicle. This kind of behaviour gives bike riders a bad reputation and teaches our children that it’s OK to break the safety rules.

As an avid bike rider, I too have taken liberties with the road rules on occasion, so I know the temptations. But please be aware it’s only a matter of time until a car driver who is not paying attention isn’t going to be able to compensate for your mistakes. Getting hit by a car hurts: even more if you aren’t wearing a helmet.

Editor: India will be celebrating its 66th anniversary of independence from the British on Aug. 15.

No doubt, some recent developments haven’t been favourable to India’s positive image. Like many other developing countries this largest democracy in the world has not been immune to issues like corruption, pollution, infrastructure, poverty etc. These problems are not unique to India. Hopefully, the people of India will eventually be able to address them.

Despite these problems, India continues to be one of the most fascinating countries in the world. It is a country full of contrasts and contradictions.

India is reported to be 34,000 years old. Its civilization is considered to be as one of the most ancient and living ones. Four of the major religions in the world— Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism—were born in India. These religions are practiced/followed by 25 per cent of the world’s population. There are 300,000 active mosques in India. These are more than in any other country, including the Muslim world. It is a truly multicultural and multilingual country.

India has one of the youngest demographics in the world. There are approximately 770 million Indians under the age of 35 with 550 million of them under the age of 24. India’s middle class is close to 350 million.

The number system was invented in India. Indian scientist Aryabhatta invented the digit zero. The game of chess as well as algebra, trigometry, and calculus also originated in India. The world’s first university was established in Takshila in 700 BC. India has excelled in many other areas as well. Ayurveda is the earliest school of medicine known to humans.

The art of navigation was born in the river Sindh 6,000 years ago. The very word navigation is derived from the Sanskrit word navgatih. The list goes on and on.

Thus, despite all of the difficulties facing the most populous democracy in the world, Indians have a lot to celebrate. Happy Independence Day, India!

Accessible playground fundraiser set for Aug. 26

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter There’s growing support for an effort to build a completely accessible playground for children in Richmond.

This week, Jason and Barb Davidson, owners of M&M Meat Shops at Francis and Gilbert roads, offered to host a fundraising barbecue on Saturday, Sept. 14, as part of their one-year anniversary celebration.

All of the proceeds from the barbecue will go towards building the accessible playground, the location of which hasn’t officially been revealed.

Amanda Bostik, mother of three-year-old Gem-

Martin van den Hemel photo Amanda Bostik and her daughter Gemma have been working on getting a fully accessible playground for children in Richmond.

ma who was born with a neuromuscular disorder, has been working with civic officials for the last two years to build a local barrier-free playground that’s truly accessible to people of all ages with mobility challenges. And

while the city is on board with adding accessible playgrounds, there’s still the matter of accessing funding.

Bostik says not only will all children be able to play with the new equipment which costs tens of thou-

sands of dollars but so will teenagers, adults and even seniors with mobility limitations.

Her next fundraiser is less than two weeks away.

Locals can enjoy a burger and a beer at O’Hares GastroPub on Monday, Aug. 26.

Tickets are $15 each for the fundraiser, from 7 to 9 p.m. at O’Hares, 5031 Steveston Hwy., at Railway.

That’s good for a cheeseburger or veggie burger, fries and a sleeve of house beer or wine or pop.

There will be a silent auction, a raffle and a 50/50 draw.

ith the temperature rising and everyone trying to get the most out of the remaining summer days, it can be easy for fashion to fall by the wayside and throw on any old tank and shorts combo. But with some tips and tricks, it can be just as simple to be stylishly cool in hot weather.

And while our weather stays pretty mild compared to cities like Bangkok or

Las Vegas, it doesn’t hurt knowing how to dress to beat the heat in case of spontaneous trips to hot and humid locales.

When it comes to hot weather, it’s always a good idea to skip the skinny jeans and go for flowy, loose-fitting garments. It’ll help circulate air around your body and keep fabric away from your skin, which is also what makes textured fabrics so appealing.

Clothes made out of textured material such as linen, seersucker and madras are favourites for summer because they allow the skin to breathe rather than suffocate under tight, unbreathable fabrics like polyester. Especially in summer, try

to wear clothes made out of natural fibres rather than synthetic.

Cotton is always a good choice for casual looks. If you need a dressier outfit, go for silk. Items with sheer panels and lace will also allow any breeze to pass through.

As for actual pieces, sundresses were made for summertime.

Casual and feminine, it’s an easy outfit that doesn’t require much coordination — just slip on a pair of sandals.

Maxi dresses and skirts are popular options for the season too. For a more sophisticated yet comfortable ensemble, try pairing a boxy shirt with pale linen pants.

It’ll take you from an elegant brunch to a nighttime stroll along the beach. For a more eclectic look, try colourful kaftans and tunics made out of cotton or linen. Avoid unnecessary layering since that’s just additional fabric that will add to the heat. Also check your skirts and dresses for lining material. Linings made with satin or polyester will trap

in heat.

For colours, it’s probably common knowledge at this point that pale and pastel colours are better in reflecting sunlight. So for those hot summer days, try to stay away from dark colours as it absorbs light and heat. A favourite I always make sure to have multiple versions of is a casual white dress.

Not only does it scream summer, it’ll also contrast nicely with your tan and go Stay in the shade wherever you go with a straw hat.

along well with any bright accessories. It might also be a good idea to avoid colours that will make sweat patches more apparent, such as grey.

Aside from sunglasses, which are a necessity for this time of year, I always like to keep accessories to a minimum in hot weather since it’s just one more item that will be sticking to my skin. One way to show off your sense of style without bulky accessories is with nail colour. Fun vibrant colours are perfect for summer festivities. Another stylish but practical way to incorporate accessories is with straw hats.

The material will let heat escape from your head while keeping your face in the shade. Try adding a floppy style hat to your look for a chic touch.

For makeup, avoid heavy layers of coverage for the summer and opt for a natural, dewy look instead. Sometimes a combination of tinted moisturizer, little cream blush, mascara and lip balm is all you need. Or skip the blush and go for a bronzer to give your skin a healthy glow.

Whatever you put on your skin, make sure to slather on sunscreen first!

Host Richmond team top U18 boys’ fastball team in the west

by Don Fennell Sports Editor In the end, it wasn’t even close.

The Richmond Mariners mercied every single opponent in the six games they played at the 2013 Western Canadian Under-18 Boys’ Softball Championship last weekend at Steveston-London Park.

In an unprecedented romp to the gold medal, no game went more

than five innings including a 12-4 final-game victory over Bluffton Bulldogs in Sunday afternoon’s championship game.

“Everyone played well, but to mercy every game in winning a championship is incredible,” said Richmond manager Marshall Shields, whose team was simply in a class of their own.

“You can usually always count on your top six to produce, but when

the bottom of your lineup is producing that’s when you win championships.”

But lest you think the Mariners were gloating about their dominance, the players took their own lumps playing senior men’s ball during the season. But that experience provided the framework in their dominating the under-18 championship.

“I don’t know if any of the other teams had that luxury and in the end that was our advantage,” explained Shields.

Third at the 2012 Western Canadian championships in Saskatoon, the Mariners featured only five returning players. But among them was Ryan Shields, selected by Softball BC as its player of the year in the Midget Division, as well as dominating pitcher Ankush Thapar.

But it was a first-year player, Brendon Donegan, who set the pace last weekend. Donegan pounded out back-to604.649.9711 back homers in the first two innings of Sunday’s final as the Mariners built up Results! a 6-0 lead on their way to a 12-1 victory in a championship game. #206 - 3051 Airey Drive Sandy Doyle got the ball rolling $204,800 when he looped a single into the outfield and scored on a follow-up home run by Donegan.

out of the park. But as one parent yelled “see ya,” the ball bounced off the top off the yellow plastic atop the portable outfield fence and back into play. Still, the blast cleared the bases.

The victory was Richmond’s third over Bluffton in the tournament, following a 12-1 win to kick off the championship round and a 17-1 win Thursday morning.

Richmond’s biggest game, however, was probably Friday afternoon when they silenced the Saskatoon Selects 13-2. It was the Selects, the defending Western Canadian champions, that ended the Mariners’ title hopes in Saskatoon in 2012.

“It was a game we were really looking forward to,” said Marshall Shields. “We were confident going in but you never know. They had five returning players and a big bench. We scouted them closely and told our pitchers and catchers to throw a lot of change-ups to try to keep them off balance.”

While winning the Western Canadian championship confirmed the Mariners were the best team, Shields was equally as proud of the way the players carried themselves. Their demeanour on and off the field drew considerable praise and respect from other players and officials.

“The chair of the westerns said even though you mercied every game, you were the classiest and most sportsmanlike team in the tournament,” he said.

Richmond’s Hillary Strelau and Yasmin Bains both played prominent roles in Team BC’s ascent to gold in the women’s softball competition at the 2013 Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke, Que. Strelau’s two-run double in the top of the second inning staked B.C. to a 3-0 lead and an eventual 9-1 five-inning victory over

Manitoba in Thursday’s final.

Strelau had two RBI in the game that lifted BC to its third straight Canada Games championship.

Team BC reached the final with a 2-1 semifinal victory over Quebec.

“I’m so proud of the girls for not giving up,” coach Gord Collings. “They all demonstrated a great deal of tenacity throughout the tournament and I couldn’t be prouder.”

MUSSALLEM, Marian Born June 12, 1922. Passed away peacefully at Richmond Hospice, attended by friends and family, on August 4, 2013 at the age of 91. She is predeceased by her husband Peter, her son Paul, her parents Jesse and James and her siblings Jean, Ina and Jim Robinson. She is lovingly survived by her son Matthew and many nieces and nephews. Marian was born and raised in Esquimalt, British Columbia. A top student, she was one of the small number of women of her generation who went on to post-secondary education, receiving her Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry from UBC in 1942 and then her Master’s degree in 1944. She worked for a few years before marrying Peter Mussallem in 1946 and raising two sons. After being bitten by the travel bug, Marian embarked upon a period of world travel, ultimately visiting 38 different countries and globetrotting well into her 80’s. Not content just to travel to a country, she carefully researched all aspects of its culture, history and geography and then, after she returned from a trip, created a short, informative slide show about the country, which she presented at public libraries and other venues. Marian was known for her generosity and for going well beyond the usual simple acts of kindness to help people. She was also an active volunteer with many different organization throughout her life, most recently with the Steveston United Church.

Her keen mind, positive outlook and kind personality will always be remembered by anyone that knew her. A memorial service for Marian will be held on Saturday, August 17 at 2 p.m. at Steveston United Church, 3720 Broadway St, Richmond, BC. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the charity of your choice.

Rotarians get their ducks in a row

Around Town Amanda Oye

Thousands of yellow rubber ducks got competitive in a high stakes race across the river at the Rotary Club of Steveston’s first annual Great Steveston Rotary Duck Race at Steveston harbour last Saturday.

“Duck racing is actually a very old tradition in Rotary,” said Rick Duff, president of the Rotary Club of Steveston.

There were around 2,500 ducks, sold for $5 each, that raced down a short stretch of the river.

“It’s more of a duck sprint,” Duff said.

Spectators gathered on the boardwalk along the race route to cheer the ducks on.

It took just under 30 minutes for the first duck to arrive at the finish line, winning a family trip to Hawaii for the participant with the ticket number matching the number on

Kiana Brown Ganzert and Dee Brown.

the duck.

Five additional prizes were given out.

“This year we wanted to have fun with it,” said Duff.

The Club is looking to see the event grow in the years to come, and expects it to be their second biggest annual fundraiser.

All of the money generated by the event will go to help charities that Rotary supports.

Marijuana mansion’s forfeiture upheld by court Grow-op found in $1.33 million home raided by Mounties

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

Martin van den Hemel photo

Evgenia Rabinovich plays a $535,000 golf leaf Fazioli piano at Aberdeen Centre's Showcase Pianos.

There's gold in those trills 24K gold leaf Fazioli piano on display at Aberdeen A 24K gold leaf Fazioli piano is on public display this month at Aberdeen Centre’s Showcase Pianos/Fazioli, the only one of its kind in the world.

Designed by local interior designer Thu

Watson, owner of Metropolitan Furniture in Vancouver, the piano was played Friday by 20-year-old Evgenia Rabinovich, who is back in Richmond on break from studying piano on scholarship at Mannes College in New York.

“It shines in its own way,” said Rabinovich.

She’s played many Faziolis, and this one sounds different. Whether that’s because of the use of gold, Rabinovich wasn’t sure.

“It has almost a livelier sound. It’s more real, not bright, but live.”

Manuel Bernaschek, president of Showcase Pianos, said the 24K piano will be delivered to its Vancouver owner, who wishes to remain anonymous, next month.

The $535,000 piano flew first class from Italy, where it was made by hand. It’s the only goldleaf Fazioli piano in the world.

TONY LING

The Court of Appeal of B.C. has upheld the forfeiture of a $1.33-million Richmond mansion to the Crown after police found a sophisticated marijuana growing operation inside in 2007.

Fan Qiang Zeng argued that the grow-op was the brainchild of his exwife, who was the occupant of the home. He argued that a Richmond provincial court judge failed to address the impact of the forfeiture of the home to his family, and that the forfeiture was unreasonable and not supported by the evidence.

But Justice Elizabeth A. Bennett dismissed the appeal, with Justice John E. Hall and Justice Anne W. MacKenzie agreeing.

It was in November of 2007 when Richmond RCMP raided two homes in two days in the same South Arm neighbourhood. One of the homes, at 9331 Bakerview Dr., has an assessed value of $1.33 million, and contained 760 plants, a barricaded door and a bypassed electrical system in the garage.
