RichCity Idol returns for 11th year May 29 singing contest puts 10 singers on stage at Gateway Theatre

by Matthew Hoekstra

48 PAGES

Another record quarter at River Rock

Staff Reporter Ten young voices will compete for singing supremacy at Gateway Theatre May 29 in the 11th annual RichCity Idol competition at Gateway Theatre.

Based on popular TV talent shows, RichCity Idol will feature one top singer from each public high school in the district—each selected through their school’s own singing competition.

Singers will deliver their best performances in front of a panel of judges before audience members cast votes and ultimately decide who will be crowned the RichCity Idol of 2014.

Hosting this year’s show is Dalvir Nanara, a Grade 12 student at H.J. Cambie Secondary, and Hannah Balba, a Grade 11 Richmond High student and former Idol contestant.

This year’s competitors: Carlos Vidanes (Steveston-London), Carol-Lynn Gee (Hugh McRoberts), Chris Yan (R.A. McMath), Jessica Wong (Burnett), Jiana Gonzales (Richmond High), Kamaira LeBlanc (Hugh Boyd), Kavya Balajepalli (H.J. Cambie), Kennedy Williams (A.R. MacNeill), Maria Encarnacion (Matthew McNair) and Suani Rincon (R.C. Palmer).

Past performers include Elaine Shepherd, who in 2011 won a Juno Award for Reggae Recording of the Year.

RichCity Idol begins at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 29 on Gateway Theatre’s MainStage. General admission tickets are $12 in advance, available at the Gateway Box Office (gatewaytheatre.com and 604-270-1812) or $15 at the door.

Proceeds from this year’s show go to the RichCity Idol endowment fund, created to provide scholarships to Richmond high school students.

RichCity Idol won a Richmond Arts Award this week (see story, page 26) and last month organizers won a Volunteers are Stars Award.

Great Canadian Gaming Corporation announces highestever $46 million in revenues in Richmond

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

H.J. Cambie’s Dalvir Nanara and Richmond High’s Hannah Balba will host this year’s RichCity Idol show.

It was another record-setting quarter for River Rock Casino Resort.

Great Canadian Gaming Corp. announced its financial results for the three-month period ending March 31, 2014, and highlighted the numbers from its Richmond casino.

River Rock reported revenues of $46 million, and $25.4 million in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which it described as “the highest in the property’s history.”

In total, Great Canadian reported revenues of $103.8 million, the second highest in the company’s history and the highest since the third quarter of 2008.

2013 was a record-setting year for River Rock, and that was good news for the City of Richmond as well.

River Rock poured $17.6 million into city coffers, up more than 13 per cent over the record-setting 2012.

Over the past five years, the City of Richmond has seen its share of River Rock profits steadily grow from $11.9 million in 2009, to $15.6 million in 2012.

Richmond receives 10 per cent of net gaming revenue from River Rock.

Enrolment drop means budget challenge for school district

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

Martin van den Hemel photo The residents of Abercrombie Place townhouse complex, near No. 3 Road and Blundell, had to be evacuated after at least one vehicle caused extensive damage.

Hit-and-run sparked evacuation Jeep Wrangler driver ticketed but no criminal charges

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Residents of Abercrombie Place had to be evacuated early Wednesday morning following a bizarre hit-and-run crash.

A townhouse resident said she awoke around 12:30 a.m. to the sound of a boom shortly after midnight, and peeked through her bedroom window to see a large vehicle back out of her brick-strewn lawn and flee north on No. 3 Road.

She was then greeted by the smell of gas as she ducked her head out the front door, hissing coming from the bank of six gas meters that had been knocked aside, an impact leaving a sizable dent in a wall.

Turns out another townhouse just a few metres away, also had its wooden fence knocked down, with damage to another bank of three gas metres, which were also ruptured.

Based on pieces of a bumper and a reflector left at the scene, the vehicles involved were a 2011 Mercedes ML 350 and a 2010 Jeep Wrangler two-door. The left front wheel flare of a Jeep was left at the scene, which was bright silver in colour. A part of the bumper of the Mercedes was also left on the lawn.

Richmond RCMP Cpl. Adriana Peralta said investigators managed to locate the

driver of the Jeep thanks to a witness who took note of the licence plate.

Peralta said the Jeep initially struck a white Mercedes, which was driving down No. 3 Road, and the Jeep then plowed into another townhouse unit.

There were no injuries, she said.

No criminal charges were laid against the Jeep’s driver, Peralta said, but she noted that the driver was issued three tickets under the Motor Vehicle Act, two for hit-and-run, and one for driving without due care and attention.

Richmond Fire-Rescue’s Kim Howell said 10 townhouses had to be evacuated for about two hours.

During that time, firefighters had to eliminate ignition sources and then later ventilate and monitor the nearby homes to ensure they were safe for the occupants to return to.

A third consecutive year with fewer students in local classrooms presents another financial hurdle for Richmond board of education trustees to clear in the upcoming school year.

The district is forecasting a drop of nearly 300 students for the 2014/15 school year, which translates into a $2.6 million drop in funding.

Further putting the board behind the eightball, is CUPE wage increases which are not funded, and a general increase in benefit costs and other inflationary cost pressures, according to a report by Mark De Mello, secretary treasurer for the district.

The decrease in the number of students also means 10 fewer fulltime equivalent teachers. But the news isn’t completely gloomy.

The funding decline will be DONNA SARGENT mitigated by a provincial funding protection program, which ensures districts don’t experience more than a 1.5-per-cent decline in funding.

So the district is expecting a $1.25 million top-up for 2014/15.

And the International Student Program continues to grow, and with it does the revenues.

Other cuts could include the areas of district supplies, secondary administration, continuing education co-ordinator, learning services, and the district’s HVAC contract.

Board of education chair Donna Sargent said trustees will make their final decision on what to cut at the May 20 meeting of the board.

She said another budget workshop with staff and trustees will be held in the interim.

The public can again give their input at the May 20 meeting, or by e-mailing or phoning trustees or staff.

At Monday’s board meeting, the public and local stakeholders expressed concerns about staffing cuts and “were really encouraging us to look at other places,” Sargent said.

Though contracting out transportation services was mentioned in De Melo’s report, but not recommended by the district’s executive team, local bus drivers came out to make their feelings known to trustees and staff.

“It’s just really tough times,” Sargent said, and every year it seems to be “getting tougher and tougher”.

Man recovering after contracting Legionnaire’s disease B.C. sees three or four cases of potentially deadly infection a year

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A worker who in October contracted a form of Legionnaire’s disease less commonly seen in Canada, is now recovering at his Delta home after his near brush with death.

Peter Rogal, who works at the City of Richmond’s composting facility on Sidaway Road, began to experience flu-like symptoms before going to a walk-in clinic in late October, where he was told to go home as he appeared to just be suffering from the flu.

But a few days later, when his condition worsened, he was taken to Ladner Hospital, where his condition deteriorated to the point he had to be placed in a medically-induced coma.

Rogal was then taken to Surrey Memorial Hospital’s intensive care unit, and might have died had it not been for a medical device know as an ECMO, which stands for extracor-

poreal membrane oxygenation.

The device, from Royal Columbian Hospital, enabled his lungs to recover from a Legionella longbeachae infection with the help of broadrange antibiotics, while the device supplied oxygen to his bloodstream, which kept him alive.

Reached at his home, Rogal declined to comment, his strong, clear voice giving no hint of his recovery.

But according to a source familiar with the situation, Rogal came down with a form of Legionnaire’s disease more commonly found in Australia.

“He spent almost two weeks in a coma, and then a few more in (Royal Columbian Hospital). He lost over 30 pounds, and along with kidney failure and many other possible side effects, his body was so badly atrophied, he couldn’t even stand up,” the source said. “He was a very healthy guy and this Legionella almost killed him; he was very lucky to survive.”

WorkSafeBC investigated, and initially concluded the illness was work-related. But the City of Richmond appealed the conclusion.

Last week, WorkSafeBC said it didn’t have an update, but the letter indicates that two inspections of the Sidaway soil facility have

been conducted by “guys in white suits.” “...We are continuing to work with this employer, but we don’ t have any new information to share at this time,” said WorkSafeBC spokesperson Megan Johnston.

City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend said the city has suspended operations relating to composting at the work site.

Townsend said the city doesn’t believe there’s conclusive evidence that Rogal’s illness was cause at the work site.

“But we’re doing our due diligence to manage or eliminate any potential risk, if there is one.”

For employees who continue to work at the site, they have the option to wear a standard paper mask or something more robust, Townsend said.

Legionella longbeachae is less common in Canada than its water-borne cousin Legionella pneumophila. Breathed in, it can multiply in the lungs and cause a serious and sometimes deadly infection, with symptoms ranging from high fever, chills to coughing, pain in the chest and difficulty breathing.

Dr. Bonnie Henry, medical director at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, said the legionella bacteria are naturally found in the environ-

ment and can survive for long periods in wet environments.

The water-born variant lives in wet environments such as hot tubs and air conditioning systems, and people can become infected by inhaling the spray or mist from contaminated water sources.

The province normally sees three or four cases per year.

The key is early treatment, which can be a challenge since it is so uncommon.

Henry said she’s “not very concerned about composting” as a potential source for the bacteria. She said there are simple steps people can take to reduce their likelihood of contracting the illness, such as regularly cleaning their air conditioning units and treating their water.

Legionnaire’s disease earned its name after an outbreak of the disease in Philadelphia in 1976, largely among people attending a state convention of the American Legion.

According to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, there were 11 cases of legionellosis in B.C. in 2012, the highest number in the previous 10 years, and with half the cases reported from Fraser Health Authority. There were no cases in Richmond that year, the most recent year for which statistics were available.

Pinnacle moves onward in Capstan Village A major developer in this redeveloping City Centre area sees project advance to public hearing

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Another cornerstone of the future Capstan Village is advancing to a public hearing in two weeks.

Pinnacle International (Richmond) Plaza Inc. is proposing to turn a now vacant 4.26-hectare (10.5 acre) City Centre site into a neighbourhood of 1,128 homes.

Also planned is hotel, retail, office and public amenity space similar in size to the planned Walmart mall a kilometre away.

Bounded by Sea Island and Capstan ways and No. 3 and Sexsmith roads, the proposed project is one of several in an area clustered around a possible new Canada Line Station.

The new transit node is at least 15 years away, as city and transit planners

await contributions from developers in exchange for density bonuses.

Pinnacle’s project alone is expected to generate $8.8 million for the station.

Proposed are nearly a dozen towers, ranging from eight to 16 storeys, linked by street-level units. It will include 17 subsidized affordable housing units for professional artists, and a 0.7-hectare (1.7 acre) city-owned neighbourhood park next to future rapid transit station.

Coun. Linda Barnes said Pinnacle is building to LEED silver status, but could achieve gold—the third highest rating of four environmental certification levels set out in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design process.

“This is an area that is going to change how Richmond looks as you enter our city from Vancouver,” she said. “It’s going to be a really good new gateway.”

The site was once

home to 14 single-family homes. Pinnacle owns one neighbouring property—already rezoned for a 200-home high-rise development—while other nearby properties are at various levels in the development process. The largest is Concord Gardens, a similarly-sized development approved by council two years ago.

The Pinnacle file will go to public hearing May 20 at 7 p.m. at Richmond City Hall.

Ottawa, Victoria, city announce funding to help prevent flooding

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter The existing Bath Slough drainage pump station will receive a $3.77 million upgrade, a joint investment by all three levels of government.

The pump station

identified by the City of Richmond as the highest priority drainage project, will be upgraded as it is “currently under its required pumping capacity to prevent flooding in the catchment area during large storm events,” according to a press release.

“As an island city, flood protection is a critical function for the City of Richmond. We must also plan for rising sea levels as a result of climate change,” Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said.

“We need a concerted effort by all levels of government to address these issues.”

The funding is part of a $27 million project that will support a total of 26 flood mitigation projects which will help communities address existing flood concerns, and take proactive steps toward preventing flooding emergencies, the press release states.

“This project will ensure that we mitigate flood risk and protect our homes, business, public infrastructure and our people,” said Richmond East MLA Linda Reid.

The project will see aging infrastructure replaced, and will accommodate future dike raising.

EDITORIAL: A timely response

A

pathy in the political process has reached an all-time high in recent years, with the perception that elected representatives are not really listening to public concerns.

But there is evidence this week that the provincial government is heeding public feedback, on two currently contentious issues at least.

An all-party committee of MLAs has unanimously supported a proposal from Finance Minister Mike de Jong that henceforth all B.C. politicians will publish their expense receipts – including food, travel and accommodation – online.

The proposal elicited a few grumbles from NDP MLAs over the work involved in backing all expenses with receipts.

But it seems MLAs overall agreed with de

Jong’s assessment that steps need to be taken to restore public trust, after recent “unreasonable” expense abuses in B.C. and beyond.

Meanwhile Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has apparently taken note of written feedback from B.C. residents in amending the proposed Bill 24, which would make changes to the province’s Agricultural Land Reserve.

The contentious two-zone provision remains, dividing ALR land into one area (Metro Vancouver, Vancouver Island and the Okanagan) where farmland would be protected from non-agricultural development and another (essentially the rest of B.C.) where farmers might have options to invite in ‘value-added’ industries that could include oil and gas development.

But there are indications that the impassioned words of many regarding both the need for food security in the province and a long-term

commitment to preserving agricultural land have been noted and reflected in amendments.

The amended legislation has received guarded endorsement from the B.C. Agriculture Council, although NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons says Bill 24 is still probably the worst piece of legislation he has seen.

The actual impact of both of these provincial policies remains to be seen, of course.

Politicians generally are past-masters in the art of simulated action, and manipulating public opinion through carefully stage-managed response.

But the BC Liberals have everything to gain and nothing to lose by demonstrating a greater level of responsiveness to public opinion – rather than the predictable chorus of partisan support.

Price shock at the supermarket

Green Scene Steve Mullins

‘W

hen we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.”

What I tried to ‘pick out’ was the answer to the question “Why are the humble potatoes I buy in my local supermarket so expensive?” The question came up on my last trip to the supermarket. I was only buying a few items, including three large potatoes, which, when rung up at the cash, cost about a dollar each. I thought “That can’t be right!” But it was correct.

For most of my life, potatoes had always been really cheap, so I had maintained that assumption until now, a delusion helped by the fact I usually buy potatoes by the bag and not individually, so I didn’t really notice the actual per unit cost of them.

I was perplexed, because isn’t the modern international food system supposed to bring prices down?

Of course, I had to find an answer. And that’s when I found out the Universe was attached to this one simple question. I followed the chain of international food production and

Potatoes at 99¢ a pound? More like 99¢ each these days.

distribution to see what could be affecting imported potato prices and found the answer became very complex, very quickly.

Ultimately my search led right back almost literally to my own doorstep, and I ended up with a renewed appreciation for the BC Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), which is now under a controversial review.

So what affects the price of potatoes?

Poor weather is an obvious factor. In the past few years, floods, extended cold snaps, and huge droughts in important food production centers like California created shortages that drove up prices. Crop blights and insect infestations were also an issue, as were problems that made transportation of food more difficult or expensive, like increased fuel prices, tariffs, labor disruptions at ports, and deteriorating roads.

But that’s not all. Rising consumer demand for fresh produce in huge growing markets (like those in China and India) drove up the price of staples, a problem worsened by the fact that large tracts of food land worldwide are being turned over to biofuel production. Prices also rose because the global food market is vulnerable to financial manipulation by large stakeholders in order to increase profits, an example of which was the recent price fixing scandal of potatoes in the USA (where a cartel of producers are alleged to have throttled back potato production to artificially raise prices).

It’s clear we have built a long international food production chain that is getting longer and more intertwined all the time.

Which brings us to the review of the ALR and to my original question, which I

now realize was the wrong question. Given the complexity creeping into our world’s food distribution, economic and environmental systems, more and more the real question isn’t “Why are the potatoes in my supermarket so expensive?” but “Will potatoes be available at all?”

It’s a fact that we can grow potatoes and many other crops here in BC, but will we? Or will we continue to reduce our capacity to grow food locally and regionally while we increase our reliance on imports that are proving more uncertain and less of a bargain each passing year?

From all accounts, the ALR review is too focused on the ‘here and now.’ It ignores the long-term realities of food security, such that land that is capable of producing food, fibre and energy will become immensely valuable in the

not too distant future. High quality soils take hundreds of years to develop and that is what we are paving over or replacing with residential or industrial developments across the province.

In many B.C. communities, people can buy locally grown food that was harvested that same day. We cannot lose that. The strongest food security chain is a short one, and in B.C., the ALR is the strongest link we have.

Steve Mullins is the communications manager for Richmond Food Security Society. We work to ensure that all people in the community have access to safe, nutritious, culturally appropriate foods that strengthen our environment and society.

letters Short-term economic goals hurt the planet Editor: Many current news items are converging on environmental concerns: natural gas extraction, fracking, flaring, oil pipeline construction and potential for damage caused by leaks, concerns over oil tankers endangering life along the B.C. coast line, aviation fuel being piped through Richmond, changes in Agricultural Land Reserve laws that would open up the possibility of “expropriating” ALR, temple expansion affecting ALR, and so on.

In all of this, the focus seems to be mostly on the short-term goals of making money and creating jobs with very little thought being given to sustainability and preservation of the Earth’s biodiversity and natural order. What is not being articulated in the media is the stark reality that “sustainable environmental management must come to be seen not as a discretionary commitment humanity can weigh against other competing interests, but rather as a fundamental responsibility that must be shouldered – a pre-requisite for spiritual development as well as the individual’s physical survival. Only a breakthrough in understanding that is scientific and spiritual in the fullest sense of the terms will empower the human race to assume the trusteeship toward which history impels it.” (A.L.Dahl, The Eco

Principle: Ecology and Economics in Symbiosis).

Present-day economics propel corporations wanting to make money and governments that want to be re-elected into taking short-sighted action without concern for the “seventh generation”. Our first nations citizens understood the necessity to do so and integrated it into their management of the earth’s resources without the complicating presence of economic systems that create a “now” attitude to consume, regardless of the effect on the seventh generation’s environment and capacity to sustain life.

The human race is now being challenged to shake off its adolescent style of competition and consumerism with its, “I want it now” attitudes, and replace it with a more mature, co-operative and abiding concern for generations yet to be born.

Editor: It’s always been curious to me that while there seems to be much concern expressed about how qualified teachers might be for their work, it appears that there is very little if any similar anxiety expressed about how qualified politicians might be for theirs.

We afford politicians the right to make decisions in relation to all things that play an important role in determining the character and quality of our lives, and yet there are no preparatory standards or criteria attached to the establishment of a career in politics or in relation to someone being legitimately qualified for public office.

Those who teach our children, fix our teeth, service our plumbing, examine us when we are sick, fly airplanes, police our streets, care for us in hospitals, reside over our courts, wire our homes, design our buildings and bridges and so on, all have to complete requisite periods of formal education or training, pass exams, complete practicums or apprenticeships, and be certified by governing bodies before they can continue with their careers.

But nothing comparable to this applies when it comes to running for public office or running a government: no established standards or thresholds for qualification, no prescribed education or training, no tests to assess one’s understandings of the nature of the work, no skills training to ensure competence when in the job, no oversight by a responsible body concerned with determining if you are truly qualified to make decisions that will affect people’s lives or the health of the environment and the economy.

There are lots of reasons why those who might be most qualified to run our governments are not interested in political careers and why so many who are profoundly unqualified are, but it is a certainty that it would greatly advance the democratic process and improve our lives if we could find ways to attract many more of the former and significantly fewer of the latter to the field of politics.

Then we bypassed Kelowna and headed for Beaverdell, admiring the evidence of the now defunct historic Kettle Valley railway. Then the chilling hail hit but a single glass of beer at Rock Creek restored us us. We weaved our way north along the valley, through wine country, to Penticton.

“Piece of cake,” said George the next day as he looked at the route to Hope. The winding back road trail to Princeton was a joy but the last stretch home was not.

First, we were hit by snow, then hail that numbed our faces as we descended from Manning Park.

The Audi A7 TDI is a lovely car.

what makes this car different than much of the competition.

Buyers who like the idea of a big luxury car but also want something a bit sportier will enjoy the dynamic stance, especially combined with the oversized sports wheels. Oversized is also a good way to describe the A7s grille, which is framed by an aggressive set of headlamps and deep front spoiler. The back is much more subdued and the rear lights look almost Aston Martininspired.

Inside The downside to the swept roofline and large hatchback is the amount of headroom for rear seat passengers. Taller passengers might find it a bit snug and big items might not fit in the cargo area. This is why Porsche produced the Panamera sport-back, with a much higher roof for full-sized adult passengers. The reality is that many professions who can afford this car will more than likely have a family SUV for those times when larger adults or cargo needs to be moved. The front seats enjoy a view to a sumptuous dashboard and luxury filled experience. The best material are used and I find Audi’s computer controller to be one of the easiest on the market.

Drive Audi uses a variation of its 3.0L direct injection turbo diesel in five of its models from the practical Q5 and Q7 SUVs to the A6, A7 and A8 sedans. This A7, along with the Q5 and A6 get the newest version of this engine sporting a bump in torque from 406

lb.-ft. to 428 lb.-ft. Torque is what it is all about with diesel engines. The ability to get away from a traffic light and cruise along at highway speeds makes a diesel engine a rewarding vehicle to drive.

Put the throttle down and this big luxury sedan just rockets away, the way a huge V8 would have in years past.

The up side is that the driver gets all that power but also impressive fuel economy, something that had eluded luxury buyers in the past. The A7 is rated at 8.7L/100km in the city and stingy 5.3L on the highway. In comparison, a 2014 Honda Civic is rated at 5.0L/100km on the highway.

For fuel savings and power the diesel is the way to go.

Verdict The Audi A7 is a lovely car; filled with sex appeal, performance, luxury and prestige but it all comes at a price. Starting at $72,900, the diesel is a $2,500 premium over the base A7.

The owner could recapture that additional money over several years of driving thanks to the improved fuel economy. This technology is also available in other, less expensive models, so don’t be too shocked by the starting price. One thing Audi does not have is a 4-cylinder diesel for the smaller and less expensive models, something both BMW and Mercedes offer. I suspect there will be one coming in short order, but for now the A7 is a prime example of Audi’s expansion into diesel transportation. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

e take our modern roads and highways for granted, especially in the temperate zones where winter’s freeze-up—Sub-arctic Yellowknife, for example— or summer’s toast-up—Phoenix, Arizona or Palm Springs, California for example—aren’t off the charts. But this does not mean seasonal conditions and seasonal variation have no effect on temperate zone roads. Just that modern road building materials and techniques are cleverly engineered to withstand natural challenges and that ongoing maintenance and ongoing upgrading have produced an infrastructure that is the essential circulatory system of modern life and culture both in our cities and in our increasingly linked-up rural surrounds.

When a section of road or highway is out of sync with the demands of this circulatory system or falls below the standard of the rest of the system, its inadequacy becomes apparent relatively quickly and ‘fixing’ it generally becomes (or should become) a government priority. Road fixing has not generally been a highly political matter, although, if involving a costly major highway or bridge development, it can be.

In challenging economic times, government intervention in the economy in the form of ‘make-work’ type projects has often included roadwork projects or at least moved them to the top of the priority list.

There are many examples of cities and towns across North America that have not only

survived depressions and recessions because of road work projects, but that have come out the other side with more and better road systems that in turn help support and indeed ‘drive’ the upturn in the economic life of their communities.

Nowadays, of course, adding roads or upgrading highway systems are challenged as a cause of and not a cure for traffic congestion.

“If you build it, they [the cars] will come” is the view of this constituency.

Since the industrial revolution, bridges that wash out or fall down and roads that sink or slide or disappear under landslides, far from revealing the hand of fate working in human affairs have been considered engineering catastrophes. But nowadays we are increasingly disinclined to claim an unassailable ability to shape the landscape as we see fit.

Our first reaction to highway and road system destruction attendant upon severe weather conditions may be to search for meteorological abnormality rather than sub-standard engineering practices. This is not indicative, however, of greater humility, but rather the reverse. Human activity is suggested by some to be a distorter of global temperatures and hence weather patterns.

In any case, engineering standards must necessarily be improved and adjusted based on experience. This is not to be glib about the destructive impact of severe weather.

Recently on the news was video clip of a row of parked cars in Baltimore falling slowly into a block long sinkhole after a major storm dumped two days of rain on the east coast of the US. The accompanying sound track caught the fearful reaction of bystanders watching the amazing spectacle. Images of our expertly built and maintained roads opening up and swallowing whole everything on them should be cause to reflect.

ukulele, when tragedy struck in Newtown, Conn.

Twenty children and six adults were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012—one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history. A front page newspaper photo the next day of a flag at half mast moved Ronald to write “Twenty Little Stars,” a ukulele-backed song that appears on his newest album.

“To write the lyrics, I imagined transplanting my house and fathering my three elementary-aged kids in Newtown in the aftermath of the tragedy,” he said. “Of course, I know the stars represent the 50 US states, but I imagined 20 of them missing to represent each dead child, and I wondered how long before the remaining 30 disappear.”

The Vancouver-based roots-folk singer-songwriter, who plays the Steveston Folk Guild next Thursday, also offers warmth on Timeless—his third album, released in March—which shows his gift for soulful songwriting that captures the ebbs and flows of life. Two of his Timeless songs advanced as far as the semi-finals in the International Songwriting Competition.

A native of England, Ronald’s songwriting talents began to emerge at age 15. He developed his voice into something smooth enough to find similarities with David Gray, Ron Sexsmith and Martin Sexton.

His music merges British roots with North American folk, and features his multi-instrumental talents on guitar, harmonica and ukelele.

Ronald’s Steveston Folk Guild show is May 15 at 7:30 p.m. at the Chinese Bunkhouse, Britannia Shipyards, 5180 Westwater Dr. Tickets, $8, at the door.

Where does your love of music and storytelling come from?

“I think my love of music came both naturally and from my family back in England. My music-loving parents and three older brothers exposed me to a wide variety of music by the time I reached my teens.

I remember loving the Carpenters at some point in my boyhood. I recall unwrapping the Carpenters’ greatest hits album one Christmas and being so excited in a Willy Wonka golden ticket kind of way.”

What inspired the song “Timeline,” and how true to life is it for you?

“I wrote ‘Timeline’ in 2012 when I was going through a mid-life crisis, at least I think that’s what it was. I began to see my life as a timeline that you might draw in his-

tory class and was pondering what it might look like when complete. I found myself torn between the security of the day job and the prospect of following my heart with a music career, especially since the release of Turning Tides and the positive reactions that followed. I recall reflecting on wise words I’d read or heard that had stuck with me over the years, and each verse is centred around a particular snippet of wisdom.”

What’s a recent memorable performance?

“The show at Char’s Landing in Port Alberni was pretty memorable. Half of the people were there because they’d seen me perform at Char’s in the past, and half were there because of John (Ellis, producer).

John is a phenomenal multi-instrumentalist, and the grand piano in the room made for an extra special treat. The house was full and the vibe was fantastic.

That said, the audience at Steveston Folk Guild is one of the best I’ve encountered. Performing in front of attentive and appreciative people in a venue where I can play entirely unplugged is probably my favourite thing to do.”

Moms bring glam to Steveston

Your Steveston area Real Estate Specialist!

Local business specializes in parties for young girls

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A small business on First Avenue in Steveston is just the right shade of pink.

But salmon isn’t on the menu here. It’s a place where popular offerings have names such as “Dancing Queen,”“Fashion Diva” and “Glitter Girl.”

Glow Tween Spa and Party Boutique lies in the heart of the fishing village, a place which hosts girls’ birthday parties—a specialty— along with offering spa services for young customers.

The glam business is celebrat-

ing its one-year anniversary this weekend.

“We’re really happy to be a part of this community in Steveston.

We love it. Everybody is very supportive. We’re just trying to have fun and have a great place that the kids enjoy going to,” said co-owner Diana Trueman.

Trueman and business partner Kathryn Donabedian are both local moms with daughters who envisioned a place where kids could have fun, be pretty and feel good about themselves. Born was Glow, a place rooted in fun and positivity.

Parties start at $199 and offer typical fare, such as pizza and punch, but also give girls dream celebrations with manicures, dance parties, fashion shows and glitter—lots of glitter.

“They love getting their nails done and all that, but there’s all these sparkly pretty dresses. They walk

out on the carpet, the lights are going, they do a fashion show. It’s amazing how some of them just light up. They love it,” said Trueman.

A typical two-hour party can accommodate up to nine girls (larger groups need more time for the spa).

Depending on the party option, girls can create their own shimmer lotion, enjoy glitter hair treatment and experience spa services such as a facial or mini mani. Loot bags can also be arranged.

Party planners Trueman and Donabedian—who just might know the words to a few One Direction and Katy Perry songs by now—aim to take the weight of party-planning from busy parents. Said Trueman: “We try and make it as easy as possible here for the parents.”

Mother’s Day Tips for Mother’s Day shopping From Previous Page •Check expiration dates. Gift certificates and cards for particular stores or services are popular come Mother’s Day. But it is essential to check expiration dates on the certificates or find gifts, as there is a good chance Mom will put off pampering herself and you would not want the gift to expire before she has a chance to use it. In compliance with the law, chain restaurant gift cards don’t expire for at least five years from purchase.

Those might be your safest bet.

•Verify a business. Although Mom may love a cute boutique that just opened, verify the business before buying a gift card from it. An unpredictable economy has made it even harder for new businesses to succeed, and you don’t Mom to be stuck with a worthless gift card should the new business not thrive. If she really likes a particular new business, take her

Join us at Pier 73 for this

on a shopping spree at the store instead.

•Flowers and chocolates are traditional Mother’s Day gifts. However, calorie-conscious women may not want to be faced with the temptation of a warehousesized box of chocolate treats. If Mom truly loves chocolate, treat her to a gourmet piece or two, but don’t make that your main gift.

•Avoid “final sale” items. It can be tempting to peruse the deepdiscount rack at Mom’s favorite store when retailers cut prices on items in anticipation of a new season. However, these sales may come with restrictions on returns or exchanges.

Unless you know Mom will like what you pick out, avoid the “final sale” racks in favor of items that can be returned or exchanged.

There are different ways to make shopping for Mother’s Day gifts a little easier and guarantee the best experience for Mom as well.

≥ 2013 ANNUAL AND SUSTAINABILITY REPORT HIGHLIGHTS

CONNECTIONS THAT WORK

A MESSAGE FROM MARY JORDAN Remarkable change, milestone achievements and robust growth characterized a very busy year at Vancouver International Airport.

A change in leadership was a major focal point for our organization in 2013.

It was with great consideration that we conducted a global search for the right person to succeed Larry Berg, under whose leadership YVR earned its international reputation for airport excellence.

Craig Richmond assumed the role of President & CEO of Vancouver Airport Authority on July 1. A mix of experience, skills, education and values amassed over a lifetime in aviation make Craig a great fit for a great job. With a focus on safety, accountability, innovation and teamwork, Craig continues to shape and enhance YVR’s reputation as North America’s top airport.

That reputation earned an additional boost when YVR was named Best Airport in North America for the fifth consecutive year by the prestigious Skytrax World Airport Awards, as voted by almost 13 million global passengers.

More people than ever enjoyed the YVR experience in 2013, as we welcomed a record 17.97 million passengers to YVR. We also deepened our community connections and continued to deliver on our vision to make YVR the preferred connection point between the Americas and Asia-Pacific.

As more airlines choose to fly to YVR, more British Columbians will benefit – whether that means taking a trip to Europe via Iceland, accessing a new market for a locally-made product or visiting Larry Berg Flight Path Park for a picnic. Whatever your connection with YVR, we strive to continue earning your confidence in us as British Columbia’s gateway airport.

Richmond Hospital’s Birth Centre welcomed nearly 2,000 babies over the past 12 months, a new record.

That’s something to celebrate!

We are fortunate to have renovated and modern Birth Centre facilities at Richmond Hospital, but all of those babies mean wear and tear. Growing demand takes its toll on vital equipment that’s already at the end of its lifespan.

Congratulations to new parents Matt and Nicole Ilich on the birth of their baby daughter, Elizabeth Magnolia Ilich (pictured here), born April 5, 2014, 7 lbs. 13 oz. at Richmond Hospital. Welcome to Richmond, Elizabeth!

Help us take much needed equipment from the “waiting room” to “delivery.”

Please make a gift to Richmond Hospital Foundation to help purchase equipment, upgrade facilities and improve care for Richmond’s tiniest and most vulnerable citizens and those who love them.

sports All-Seafair program extends development From Page 31

“Jason has worked with me privately on his skating for the past five years,” said Popke, who in addition to being director of player development for Seafair operates the Vancouver Hockey School and is a renowned hockey skating consultant who has also worked on-ice with the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs and with Stanley Cup winners Brent Seabrook, Troy Brouwer, Willie Mitchell and Milan Lucic.

“We were talking about his training schedule for this summer and basically just catching up on the phone after the Canucks season ended. I mentioned the Kodiaks program to him and that they were in a tournament this weekend. Half jokingly I said we should go surprise one of the teams by guest-coaching one of their games. Jason said that sounded like fun.”

Having an NHL player as their coach may have given the 2007 Kodiaks a little extra spring in their steps, but Garrison was equally amazed by the youngsters’ talent. After the game, Garrison took photos with each of the Kodiaks and gave them all a signed hockey card.

Many associations are now starting to follow the Kodiaks-Seafair partnership as a way to increase their player development.

“The goal is not to prevent players from playing with outside programs, but simply to provide an option that is affordable, competitive and local.

Seafair has a great development

model in place and the Kodiaks provides an avenue for this development to continue,” said Popke. “And being able to secure ice at their home arena is unparalleled and extremely convenient for parents, coaches and players. “ The Kodiaks has teams, both at the AA and AAA levels, for players ranging in age from six to 13 years old.

Each participant is schooled in individual skills, team tactics, game play and sportsmanship.

“The players are very excited to be able to continue playing hockey for another 10 weeks with their close friends,” said Seafair vice-president and community relations director Cody Kusch.

“What normally happens in the spring is that players join all different teams and not all the interested players are at the same ability. As well, many of the true AAA or elite teams focus too much on winning and not enough on the enjoyment of the game. Over the last five years I have really seen a shift in the number

“The goal is not to prevent players from playing with outside programs, but simply to provide an option that is affordable, competitive and local.”

— Derek Popke

of AA teams being formed versus the number of AAA programs that have either folded or changed their name to begin recruiting again. The attraction to the AA association teams is that the cost is usually quite a bit cheaper, the players are able to play with more of their close friends, the travel is far less, the commitment is not as intense, and the players are able to continue playing other sports in the spring because their weekly schedules have room for other activities.”

Kusch said when his daughter (2004 age group) was enrolled in the Hockey 2 program four years ago, there was no other associationbased spring teams entered in any local tournaments. When his son (2006 age group) was in the program last year there were over 20.

The success to date, both on the ice and off the ice, has been “very positive,” said Kusch, who stressed hockey should be more than just about winning and losing.

“It should be about utilizing the learned skills to create a better allaround person,” he said.

“We teach the players about respect and they learn at a very young age how to dress themselves, fill up their own water bottles, clean up their own dressing rooms and engage in various team building exercises. They are being taught, through various off-ice activities, how to build self confidence and self esteem,”continued Kusch. “This program fosters this learning throughout the spring.”

Great golf, great food, great prizes - all for a great cause! We hope you’ll join us at this fun and exciting event in support of the Richmond Community Foundation and the Tourism Richmond Endowment Fund.

Living in Harmony in Richmond with Townline

By Kerry Vital

Incredible value, an amazing location and gorgeous homes combine in perfect balance at Harmony, a condominium project in Richmond from Townline Homes.

“One of the major selling features of Harmony is its extremely central location,” says Chris Colbeck, vice-president of sales and marketing for Townline. “Owners will be within easy walking distance of Richmond Centre, dozens of

restaurants, elementary and secondary schools, several parks, and the Brighouse SkyTrain Station. Yet, we’re off the flight path and away from heavy traffic, so it’s more peaceful and less congested.”

The interiors are luxurious in their own right, with beautiful kitchens featuring stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and square-edge flat-panel cabinetry, and relaxing bathrooms with an oversized soaker tub and hand-set large-format polished porcelain floor tiles.

Homeowners will have several amenities on-site, including a 15,000-square-foot landscaped rooftop with a trellised zen garden, children’s play area, barbecue area and gated dog run, among many other things. Other amenities include a lounge with kitchenette, a games area and a fitness room.

For more information, visit www.harmonyrichmond, stop by the discovery centre at 7180 No. 3 Road or call 604-278-3939.

StreetSide Developments’ South Point Walk will be just steps from South Point Exchange and High Street, making it extremely convenient. Among the beautiful features in the homes are wide-plank laminate flooring, stainless-steel appliances and recessed pot lighting in the kitchen.

Beauty and convenience at South Point Walk

By Kerry Vital

Curb appeal and a fantastic neighbourhood are just two of the many reasons why South Point Walk, built by StreetSide Developments, is garnering serious buzz in South Surrey.

“This is such a great, unique location,” says Vanessa Isler, marketing and sales manager for Streetside, a division of Qualico. “It’s an urban feel in a suburban location.”

South Point Walk is just steps from shopping and dining at South Point Exchange, as well as the boutiques at High Street.

“There will be a walking path directly from South Point Walk to High Street,” says Isler.

Homeowners will also have easy access to the U.S. border and Highway 99. Schools, golf courses and other leisure and recreation opportunities are also just minutes away.

The convenient location is artfully woven into a beautifully landscaped enclave.

“There’s a lot of accessibility here,” Isler says. “It’s a nice balance.”

The first phase at South Point Walk will include 42 condominium homes, ranging

from 689 to 1,090 square feet. Every home includes a dedicated home office or flex/work space. Buyers will be able to take possession of their new home in November. The second phase, with 76 condos and 30 townhomes, will be released later.

The exterior is distinctive and welcoming, with West Coast contemporary architecture featuring bold roof lines, cedar shingles, arched brick accents and large timber brackets, and large balconies. Ground floor homes have spacious patios and direct access to green space.

“StreetSide, working with Gannon Ross Designs, has really gone above and beyond on the finishings,” says Isler. “There are nine-foot ceilings on all four floors; usually you would only see them on the ground or top floor homes. They really add to the airiness of the space.”

A gourmet kitchen features classic shakerstyle cabinetry and a solid eased square-edge Quartzite countertop with a full-height ceramic tile backsplash. Stainless-steel appliances are complemented by a custom backsplash accent behind the range in either solid slab granite or marble mosaic tile. The custom-designed kitchen island in some homes is a masterstroke of convenience, and recessed pot lighting and undercabinet task lighting perfectly illuminates the space.

Wide-plank laminate flooring is included throughout the main living areas, with lush

cut and loop carpeting in the bedrooms.

Bathrooms are straight out of a spa, with solid slab granite or Quartzite countertops and undermount basin sinks. The ensuite features contemporary flat panel cabinetry, infloor heating and a hand-set ceramic tile tub or shower surround with marble tile accent.

The second bathroom, where applicable, has shaker-style cabinetry and a deep soaker tub.

Homeowners at South Point Walk will have the use of a community garden, outdoor barbecue area and a trellised seating area with gas firepit. Inside, amenities include a fitness room and a social lounge with kitchenette.

Homes start at $233,900. For more information, visit www.southpointwalk. ca, call 604-560-3238 or email sales@ southpointwalk.ca.

Richmond Roadrunner teammates Graham Husick (left) and Chandler Bradley (right) have helped to lift their team to a 2-1 start in the B.C. Intermediate A Lacrosse League.

Outstanding 2,952 sq.ft. executive home OPEN SUNDAY 2-4 PM with 4 bedrooms and games up and a large den on the main. Original owners have done extensive updating throughout and features a gorgeous new kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and tumbled marble backsplash. Top quality Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring in the foyer, living & dining rooms and den. New double-glazed vinyl windows, new wood shake roof and the radiant heat boiler has been replaced.

JUST LISTED! French doors off the family room spill out into the private & beautifully landscaped west yard backing onto Homma Park. Unbeatable location on a quiet cul-de-sac with less than a 10 minute stroll into Steveston Village along the boardwalk. One of the nicest homes to hit the market in this sought after location!

Intermediates off and running After winning their season-opener in convincing fashion and following that up with another victory, Richmond’s Intermediate A lacrosse team has fallen from the ranks of the undefeated.

Kicking off the 2014 campaign with a 15-6 win over Langley April 30 and then topping Delta 13-10 May 2, Richmond lost 12-8 in Coquitlam Tuesday. They’re not slated to return to the floor until next Wednesday when they host New Westminster at Minoru Arenas. Game time is 8 p.m.

Jayden Campbell scored five goals to account for more than a third of Richmond’s total against Delta. Chandler Bradley added a hat trick and Nick Jensen and Pearson Willis had two goals each. Bradley also had three assists, while goalie Erik Kratz stopped 51 shots in the fast-paced game that featured quick transition by both teams.

Campbell and Bradley had also been prominent in the opener scoring four goals and assisting on four respectively.

ROSS: HUGH FRANKLIN OF RICHMOND BC

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Hugh at Rotary Hospice House on May 3, 2014 at age 86. Predeceased by his wife Pat, sister Nancy and parents Hugh and Doreen Ross, Hugh is survived by sons Randy and Frank, daughter Kathy (John), granddaughter Chris (Daren), and great-grandchildren Brian and Shelby.

Hugh was born in Toronto and raised in Vancouver. A graduate of the University of B.C. Hugh took his post-grad at University of Toronto, in hospital administration. After graduation he held the position of assistant administrator at the St. Catharine’s General Hospital, where he met his future wife Pat. After a few years living in both Ontario and Ormestowne, Quebec, he and the family returned to his much loved B.C., settling first in Prince Rupert, and finally in Richmond in 1964.

Hugh was the first CEO of Richmond Hospital, including managing the facility through initial design and build, retiring after almost 20 years of service at the age of 55. He and Pat then enjoyed life to the fullest, spending time with good friends at their Kauai condo, enjoying cruises and taking road trips all over the United States.

Family members would like to extend thanks to his caregivers, Albert and Angie, and the staff of Rotary Hospice House for their care and compassion. There will be no service by request. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.

He was a good man, he led a full life and he will always be remembered with love.
