Salmon Festival is a big community fundraiser

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Canada’s biggest little birthday party is set for Tuesday July 1, starting with a morning breakfast, followed by a special ceremony for new Canadians taking their oath of citizenship, and then a children’s parade at 9:30 a.m. followed by the adult-sized version at 10.

This year’s event is once again a huge fundraiser for the Steveston Community Society, providing funding for many area initiatives, including funding 50 per cent of the price for the Steveston water park.

During the opening of that park, in 2007, the Rick Hansen Foundation donated a special water-ready wheelchair for people to borrow from the community centre.

The specialized wheelchair is free to use, and means those people with regular wheelchairs won’t have to risk them getting rusty through the exposure to water.

For more information about accessing the wheelchair, call the Steveston Community Centre at 604238-8080 This will be an emotional 69th edition of the Salmon Fest, the first since community pioneer Ted Lorenz passed away.

Salmon Fest organizer Janice Fro-

ese described Lorenz as a giant part of the annual event for the past six decades.

“His imprint is everywhere,” she said, noting that he brought his wisdom, experience and historical knowledge to the organizers of the event.

To honour his contributions, the Grand Award, handed to the best float entry by a community group, will be renamed the Ted Lorenz Award, in his honour.

The honourary marshall for the Salmon Festival this year is Mary Hirano, who for the past three decades co-ordinated the Japanese Cultural Show.

The annual Steveston Salmon Festival will also include a Trade Show, featuring the latest ideas in home improvement, clothing, jewelry, fitness products, food tasting and locally-farmed products. MacDonald Realty Westmar is also hosting a photo booth during the event.

Parking in Steveston is limited and some road closures will be in place on July 1st morning due to the Salmon Festival parade. Festival goers are encouraged to take transit, cycle or walk to avoid traffic and parking congestion.

Shuttle service will be available from the City of Richmond Works Yard, 5599 Lynas Lane, and the old

Boats galore at Ships to Shore

Y

ou won’t have to wait until Canada Day to get into the swing of Steveston.

Ships to Shore starts Sunday, June 29, and will feature the fishing village’s rich maritime history, with a healthy dose of adventure and fun designed with the entire family in mind.

The annual free event runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday and Monday, June 30, and then from noon to 6 p.m. on Canada’s birthday, Tuesday, July 1.

More than a dozen historic and unique vessels, from classically-masted tall ships to modern navy vessels will be docked at Imperial Landing and Britannia Heritage Shipyards National Historic Site—the latter celebrating its 125th anniversary—and will allow free boarding.

The event will then be capped off with a fireworks display that begins at 10:15 p.m. and will be viewable from anywhere along the Steveston Channel waterfront.

Among the ships visiting this year are the colourful HMCS Oriole, a tall ship with the distinction of being the longest-serving commissioned vessel in the Royal Canadian Navy.

The Oriole will be joined by two of the navy’s Orca-class patrol ships and the historic schooners Adventuress and Zodiac.

The navy’s Jolly Tars, a combo featuring saxophone, flugelhorn and a rhythm section, will perform a mix of

jazz and light pop tunes on Sunday, June 29 and Monday, June 30 from noon to 1 p.m. and from 2 to 3 p.m. each day. They will be situated near Imperial Landing on the Steveston waterfront.

A band of pirates will be roving through the festival, entertaining crowds with their roguish antics.

The Mini-Brigs, a popular miniature pirate ship with just enough space to accommodate a burly pirate, will be puttering around the waterfront too.

Steveston Village will be at the centre of the 69th annual Steveston Salmon Festival, which will see a parade, children’s festival, some fabulous entertainment, a food fair, a car show and the festival’s signature salmon barbecue.

Both the Britannia Shipyards and the Gulf of Georgia cannery are set to be open to the public during the entire weekend.

Parking in Steveston is always a struggle on Canada Day. Visitors are instead urged to take public transit, to cycle or walk to avoid the traffic and minimize parking congestion. A free shuttle service will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Canada Day, leaving from the City Operations Yard at 5599 Lynas Lane, and picking up/dropping off at Railway, Moncton and Britannia Shipyards.

Parking will remain free at the City of Richmond’s operations yard.

Football entices foodies

by Don Fennell Sports Editor The escalating excitement of the 2014 World Cup isn’t only inspiring a growing legion of footie fans to view the matches, but also challenging their palates.

In downtown Richmond, thousands of kilometers removed from the epicentre of the beautiful game’s showcase event, a trio of hotels is showing their spirit by adopting one of the 32 participating nations and building their menus around food common in that country.

Having shared best practices for some time, the Hilton, Marriott and Sheraton Vancouver airport hotels—all located adjacent to each other at Westminster Highway and Minoru Boulevard—are again showing their collaborative abilities around one of the biggest sporting spectacle on the planet.

As a result, each of the hotels has quickly become a popular hub for soccer, er, football fans wanting to share the excitement for the games with others.

“Fans who are passionate about the sport get to share that in a special and unique environment with others who also have that energy,” says Sanjeet Sadana, director of sales and marketing at the Hilton.

Decorated in corresponding colours and sporting flags of their adopted nations—the Hilton becoming Brazil House, the Marriott Germany House and Sheraton England House during the tournament also affords them a unique opportunity to—at the same time— satisfy their taste buds with authentic dishes from

the respective nations.

England House features such traditional British grub as scampi (crispy prawns served with fries and tartar sauce), bangers and mash (grilled English sausages, caramelized onion and mashed potatoes along with gravy and sweet peas), and fish and chips (halibut filets in a pale ale batter sered with tatar sauce and coleslaw). The menu at Germany House includes such fare as grilled bratwurst and kartoffelpuffer (two poached eggs served with a warm pretzel and mustard), spatzle nordsee (shrimp, scallops and crab with riesling cream sauce) and panfried wiener schnitzel (breaded kartoffelpuree and gravy). They’re also serving up other popular ethnic dishes.

The most interesting menu will be found at Brazil House, where Hilton executive chef Alex Hancock

has come up with such Brazilianinspired dishes as churrasco skewers (beef, chicken or prawns served with a choice of chimichuri yogurt or piri piri sauce) and pao de queijo (cheese puffs also served with chimichuri yogurt). Among the entrees is moqueca de camaroa or fishermen’s stew, a comforting mixture of prawns with coconut milk and capsicums served with rice. Bolinhos de chuva (donut bites) is an additional sweet treat.

“The philosophy behind the menu was to bring an element of Brazil’s beach food, or at least our interpretation, to Richmond,” says Hancock. “Brazil has a huge beach culture and this food reflects that.

In the week that the menu has been available, the moqueca de camaroa dish—a classic in Brazil—has proven to be a particular favourite with hotel guests.

“While it features peppers, it’s not an overwhelming fireball dish and people love it,” says Hancock.

Hancock says it took a while to come up with a menu he was confident would appeal to the public.

He first began exploring possibilities in January, but only finalized the menu a month ago.

“We looked to serve a selection of South American food we felt was the best of the best, and that took time,” he says. “From a creative aspect, this has been unique opportunities of my career.”

Taka Kuwata, food and beverages services manager at the Marriott, says even after just one game featuring Germany the number of patrons to watch games has been encouraging.

“We’ve tried to make our menu as authentic as possible,” he says.

Council Update What are they doing to Minoru?

You may have noticed a hive of activity in Minoru Park.

The very exciting precinct project to replace the Minoru Aquatic Ken Johnston Centre, Minoru Councillor Place Seniors Centre, No 1 Fire Hall and other park facilities has commenced.

Replacement of these facilities was among Council’s top priorities for its current term and Council is delivering on the plan.

The first phase currently underway is an upgrade and relocation of playing fields and tennis courts. The existing Latrace baseball diamond will be converted into an artificial turf field. One artificial turf field and the cricket pitch, track and field throwing events will be relocated. This should be completed by this fall.

Construction of a new integrated, multipurpose complex that will include a new aquatic centre, new older adult centre and new pavilion will commence in the summer of 2014 and is expected to be completed in 2017.

Staff recently presented Council with a number of options for the building configuration for this new complex, ranging from three separate buildings to an integrated single building that would have both dedicated

Malcolm Brodie Mayor

Chak Au Councillor

and shared program space for the various user groups Staff has been directed to do further analysis of the options, consult further with stakeholder groups and bring back a more detailed report for Council’s consideration.

At the same time as this project, a new No 1 Fire Hall will be built to replace the existing facility at the current site. It will be slightly larger than the existing building and construction is expected to be complete at the end of 2016.

Council struggled with the siting of the Minoru makeover. But our decision was aided by the Aquatic Services Board and Minoru Seniors Society who asked that there be no major interruption of service to their programs during any upgrades. We thank them for their input.

There is also going to be extensive public engagement in the planning of these projects.

Council has appointed two advisory groups to provide advice on construction and programming. The Project Technical Advisory Committee chaired by Councillor Dang and the Stakeholder Advisory Committee chaired by myself will tap into the expertise of our community partners. There will also be public open houses and online consultation.

These are exciting times for Minoru and our community as a whole and we ask for your understanding as construction starts to move ahead.

court judge has handed suspended sentences and a lengthy probation period to a local couple who pled guilty to selling stolen toys via Facebook.

Alyssa Susan John, 35, received a 30-month term of probation and was ordered to pay a victim surcharge of $50, after pleading guilty to four counts of theft under $5,000. Four other counts were stayed.

Darren Patrick John, 35, received a two-year probation term and a suspended sentence for three counts of theft under $5,000 and was also ordered to pay a $50 victim surcharge. Two other counts he was facing, were stayed.

Guilty Verdict in the Stopping-for-ducks Case

THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca

Cedric Hughes

Barrister & Solicitor

O

n Friday June 20th, 2014, in a Montreal courtroom, after deliberating four days, a jury convicted Emma Czornobaj, 25, of two counts each of criminal negligence causing death and dangerous driving causing death. The charges followed from a fatal crash in which a father and his daughter riding tandem on his motorcycle plowed into Ms. Czornobaj’s vehicle stopped in the left (passing) lane of a highway south of Montreal, and from which she had alighted to help ducklings crossing the highway.

Criminal negligence causing death carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment; dangerous driving causing death a maximum sentence of 14 years. Ms. Czornobaj, who had no previous criminal record, is employed as a financial advisor. At the time of the crash she was a 21-year-old university student who had been driving for three years.

In the online ‘court of public opinion’—see, for example, the 167 comments following the CTV news online coverage or the 477 comments following the Global TV coverage—vigorous debate began almost immediately after the verdict. The majority question whether criminalizing such an act is an appropriate use of the criminal justice system. The criminal law, they say, is not about punishing lack of common sense or foolishness or stupidity no matter the terrible consequences. The criminalization of the behaviour in this case seems also to have

overcome the usual reluctance to criticize a victim.

Many of the comments point out that, “Proper operation of a motor vehicle DEMANDS that you be able to stop before hitting a vehicle that is stopping, or has stopped in front of you. PERIOD.” Selfidentified motorcyclists agree with this.

For example: “My issue is with the criminal conviction. I would like to know how it was proven that she acted with “wanton or reckless disregard for the lives or safety of other persons” (that is how the law defines criminal negligence). She acted carelessly.

The fact that her carelessness resulted in the tragic deaths of two people does not make her actions criminal. …I’ve been a motorcyclist for 25 years and cannot imagine any scenario in which this accident was unavoidable unless the motorcycle operator was every bit as careless as the young woman driving the car.”

But even those who support the verdict generally agree that a harsh sentence would also be an injustice. For example: “The verdict was the easy part as the facts seem to speak for themselves. The real problem will be the sentence. I am not a soft-on-crime type and I know that two people died as a result of this young lady’s actions but I would not like to see her get a long prison term.”

Most news reports say Ms. Czornobaj is remorseful, regrets her actions and would never do the same thing again. The wife and mother of the two victims said to reporters at the Montreal court she would not comment on Czornobaj’s possible sentence and that she didn’t have any ill will towards her. “It’s time that we go on,” she said. “This will not bring (back) my loved ones.” …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

Know the risks and bylaws of open air burning in Richmond Open air burning without a permit is illegal in the City of Richmond.

According to the city, it creates smoke that contains many pollutants which pose health risks, is an irritant to eyes and airways, and especially affects those with sensitive respiratory systems. The smoke is also a hazard when visibility is reduced. Open air fires have the potential to turn into a wildfire if the right environmental conditions exist.

“Any open burning of wood, brush, foliage, and building materials is strictly prohibited, unless approved through a permit process,” says Kevin Gray, Richmond Fire-Rescue deputy chief.

“Residents are reminded to check local bylaws regarding open air burning, as fires are only permitted within a natural gas, charcoal or propane cooking device, and fuelled outdoor heaters or fireplaces. All of us at Richmond Fire-Rescue encourage residents to help keep Richmond a safe community by being fire smart.”

When purchasing any outdoor burning device, residents should refer to City of Richmond Fire Protection and Life Safety Bylaw No. 8306.

BCTF president Jim Iker speaks to reporters in Vancouver Wednesday.

Summer school likely to see pickets Schools with modified calendars also impacted

by Tom Fletcher Black Press Teacher pickets will target locations where summer school is being carried out if they don’t have a settlement of their strike by June 30.

B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker announced that decision Wednesday, as he prepared for the first meeting with B.C. Public School Employers’ Association since a full-scale strike began June 17.

The meeting has been characterized as “exploratory talks” dealing with possible mediation.

The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association has applied to the Labour Relations Board for summer school offerings to be declared essential services, if they are “secondary remedial programs provided to students who have failed a secondary level course.”

Summer programs for elementary school students, international stu-

dents or secondary students trying to improve a passing grade would not be protected by an LRB order, meaning the majority of summer programs wouldn’t go ahead.

Iker said the union is also considering the plight of B.C.’s five modified calendar schools, which have three monthlong breaks instead of the traditional summer vacation. Among the five schools are Spul’u’kwuks Elementary and Garden City Elementary in Richmond.

They are in the middle of their final three-month term and are facing more disruption than other schools. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association has also applied for essential service protection so they can resume operation.

Iker said if there is no deal by June 30, BCTF negotiators would be available to continue talks, rather than take the summer off as they have done in previous disputes.

The two sides remain far apart on wages and benefits, with a long-running dispute over class size and special needs support levels going back to court this fall.

In addition, PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City intends to sell this eastern portion of closed road area totalling approximately 258 square meters to Terminal Forest Products Ltd., or its designate, for $100,000.

The Road Closure and Removal of Road Dedication Bylaw 9093 (Eastern Portion of Twigg Road) and the accompanying plans may be inspected at the City Clerk’s Office, 2nd Floor, City Hall, 6911 No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC, between the hours of 8:15 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday (inclusive), except statutory holidays, commencing Friday, June 27, 2014 until Monday, July 14, 2014 (inclusive).

Prior to the adoption of Bylaw 9093, any person who is affected by this bylaw may make their concerns known by writing to City Council c/o City Clerk, 6911 No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC, V6Y 2C1. Any written submissions must be received by the City Clerk no later than 4:00 pm, July 14, 2014.

The operator of a Richmond pub hopes his establishment will be among the first to welcome minors under liquor policy changes made official Monday.

Liquor-primary establishments—such as pubs and legions—are now free to apply to B.C.’s liquor regulator to accommodate patrons under age 19. The change would allow families to enjoy a meal together at a place they never could before.

Grant Bryan of O’Hare’s GastroPub, at 5031 Steveston Hwy., has already applied.

“We’re hoping to be one of the first,” said Bryan. “As a neighbourhood pub it’s a really good fit for us and our Steveston community to be able to allow families in for dinner.”

To be eligible, the establishment must serve food, said Bryan. Minors must also be accompanied by an adult, and stay no later than 10 p.m.

Bryan said he was

raised in the United Kingdom, where a pub is a cornerstone of a community.

“I grew up going to the local pub for Sunday lunch. It didn’t promote drinking, it promoting spending time with your family. Dad had a beer, mom had a glass of wine, we had juice and we had a great time.”

The B.C. government is planning a complete re-write of the Liquor Control and Licensing Act. That’s scheduled for spring 2015. In the meantime, government is phasing in changes.

Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap is in charge of the liquor policy reform file.

“Our government has opened the door to family-friendly changes, with updated liquor policies that align with feedback I received from legions, the hospitality industry and British Columbians during the liquor policy review,” said Yap in a news release this week.

“We are leaving it up to the local associations and businesses to decide whether to pursue these changes.”

Seventeen of the review’s 73 recommendations have been implemented so far.

Other changes announced include allowing local liquor manufacturers to offer samples of their products at farmers markets, and pricing flexibility—permitting pubs to offer happy hours, provided the low-

er-priced drinks adhere to new minimums.

Minimum prices are based on alcohol content: draft beer and cider is now 25 cents per fluid ounce, which puts a 12-ounce sleeve at $3, a 20-ounce pint at $5 and a 60-ounce jug at $15. Using a one-ounce minimum, the lowest permitted price for any alcoholic drink is $3.

At O’Hares, the new minimum pricing won’t have much impact— given that its cheapest beer is already at the minimum mark—but it will put all operators on a level playing field, said Bryan.

In East Richmond, at Kingswood Pub on No. 5 Road, owner Randy Craig has already introduced three daily happy hours.

“Sales are going to go down because you’re selling cheaper booze, but people are having more fun,” he said.

“I don’t know if I’ll keep three…but right now it’s kind of fun for all the people.”

Some B.C. pub owners, however, have met the new regulations with protest, saying they had already offered drink specials below the government’s new minimum prices.

A Grant of Probate over an unsigned Will?

A very thorough judgment was handed down last week in the B.C. Supreme Court, granting Probate of an unsigned Will (Polischuk Estate v. Perry). The decision sends important messages to anyone who may run across such situations, and to personal representatives in general.

Staff Reporter A restaurant inside the international terminal of the Vancouver International Airport, next to the second-floor food court, was closed last Friday because of unsanitary conditions and a pest infestation.

According to a report

by Vancouver Coastal Health, a routine inspection found a live rat caught in a trap underneath the Koho Restaurant’s commercial dishwasher.

Rat droppings were found in the main food preparation line, on stainless steel food preparation tables, inside the corner of a deep fryer base, along the wall of two handsinks in the kitchen, along the wall of a food prep area outside the walk-in cooler, behind the garage door storage area, on equipment push carts located in food prep area, on top of the commercial dishwasher and on top of liquor boxes in the kitchen.

The eatery was permitted to re-open on Sunday, according to environmental health officer Dalton Cross.

The operators were advised to “ensure all rodent droppings are removed from the premises. All affected areas to be cleaned and sanitized with an approved sanitizer. Professional pest control company to be contacted for immediate service and daily inspections required until further notice,” according to a report available at tinyurl.com/ KohoRestaurant.

The report also found “general sanitation poor.”

Though the operator said cleaning had been conducted during the start of the week, there were “multiple areas that show a large amount of food residue, debris and grime accumulation.”

The health inspector ordered the “immediate correction” of the main cook line, dishwashing area, garage storage area, under shelving, grease and liquid pooling underneath the deep fryer.

This week’s feature:

The deceased made a Will in 2004. The original was to have been kept in a credit union branch safety deposit box. It never arrived. After her death in 2012, her Will could not be found, despite extensive searches. What was found was an unsigned copy.

The deceased’s longtime lawyer prepared the Will, and since he was named the personal representative, he gave the Will to another lawyer to review and sign with the (now deceased) Will maker.

A Will believed to be in the Will maker’s possession, but lost after their death, is presumed to have been destroyed and revoked. But, that legal presumption can be overcome on evidence. And if the Will maker becomes incapacitated or mentally ill after the Will is signed, the presumption is understandably weakened.

In fact, the person who alleges the Will was revoked then has the burden of proving it was destroyed while the Will maker had capacity. In this case, the people alleging that the Will was revoked (two nephews) could not meet the burden of proof.

The Court found that the Will maker did not intend to revoke her Will. The Court also found that, if the Will maker had really wanted to change her Will in any way, she had the unlisted telephone number of her lawyer and so could have communicated with him (but she didn’t). The other lawyer added that the Will maker did actually sign her Will.

This case is important. One message I believe it sends is that a person should never throw away anything related to preparing a Will (notes, copies of the Will, etc.). You never know what may later become important in establishing whether the Will was signed, and its contents the same as the copy that (in this case) was probated the Court.

At Burkeville Daze last Sunday, Bree Stotts and Juliana Fruhling pose with an RCMP officer at the Sea Island Elementary School’s parent advisory council booth. As a fundraiser for a new school playground, the council is selling T-shirts featuring Burkeville street names like Hudson, Lancaster and Catalina, and also tumblers. With support from the community, the council has raised $2,300 for the project so far. Items are available for purchase at burkevillemama.bigcartel.com.

EDITORIAL: Happy Birthday, Canada

J

uly 1 is Canada’s 147th birthday. This country now has a lengthy history as an independent nation.

For most of the past 147 years, Canada has been respectful of other countries and of its wide variety of people, who come from widely disparate backgrounds and traditions.

There are some significant exceptions however, which must be stated up front. Canada has done a generally poor job in maintaining good relations with the aboriginal people who were here before any immigrants came from offshore. For the first 100 years of our independence, there were ongoing efforts to assimilate them, take away their land, unique cultures and heritage, and subjugate them. This was a holdover of the British approach to colonialism, and was actually quite similar to what the British did in other parts of the world.

It is only in recent years that more Canadians have started to appreciate the unique perspective that First Nations people bring to this country. Here in B.C., where we have a wide variety of very different First Nations groups, most of whom have no treaties, First

Richard Lam photo Steveston celebrates Canada Day with the Steveston Salmon Festival.

Nations issues are front and centre, as was demonstrated on Thursday by a Supreme Court of Canada decision on aboriginal title, brought forward by the Tsilhqot’in Nation.

The other blot on our history comes in the treatment of Asians,

particularly the Japanese during the Second World War. While there have been apologies and financial settlements, that aspect of our history is a shameful one — as were the discriminatory tactics used to keep out prospective immigrants

from China and India.

What Canada does do well, however, is to learn from our past mistakes. This country has always been a grouping of very different people.

In 1867, it was the aboriginal people, those of French background, and those of British background, including descendants of former Americans who disagreed with the American Revolution.

Since that time, people came to help populate the wide-open spaces in the country, and they have come from all over the world.

At first, most came from Europe and the United States. There were also early settlers of Chinese and Japanese backgrounds. In the past 50 years, the doors have been opened wider for people from all over — although it is still difficult to come here (even as a visitor) from a poorer country, something Canada needs to consider more deeply and thoughtfully.

Together, these diverse peoples have forged a country respectful of religions, traditions and cultures; committed to fight injustices; economically strong and wellpositioned — and one of the best places in the world to live.

Happy Birthday, Canada.

Food security: Playing in the big leagues

Green Scene Steve Mullins

I

magine you are in a pub filled with excited football fans watching a World Cup match when you notice someone sitting nearby you, obviously puzzled by what they are seeing on the TV.

So you take it upon yourself to explain the rules of the Beautiful Game to them. You have it all planned out; you’ll start with the basics, like how it is properly called football and not soccer, then moving on to explain how many players are allowed on the field, how off-sides are determined, and finally you’ll finish with a carefully crafted narrative about strategies and playmaking.

But then, just as you

begin your lesson, the puzzled patron stops you and asks “What is a sport?”

And in that disconcerting moment, you realize that you have a much bigger education project on your hands than you realized.

This is the problem many advocates for food security still face.

When I talk to people in Richmond about food security, the responses I get vary greatly. A few know exactly what it is, while others hold basic misconceptions. But many have never heard of the concept at all. This lack of basic knowledge leads to confusion that can create unnecessary resistance to the goal of ensuring public food security.

Some dismiss food security as a leftover hippie cause, or something they don’t participate in because they don’t use the community gardens.

Others mistake the meaning of the ‘security’ part of the phrase and think it has something to do with guarding food.

These responses, though inaccurate, are at least kind compared to some of the more virulent responses seen in parts of the USA, where efforts to promote food security have been denounced as a sure way to make people lazy, or as

part of an insidious plot by the U.N. to take away their personal freedom.

What this indicates is that many people don’t understand that food security isn’t just some local issue, or a good cause you can support like many others, or something you can opt into or not at your whim, but something entirely more fundamental. It is like saying you can opt out of breathing air or drinking water. Food security affects people whether they’ve heard of it or not.

Every day, in Richmond and all over the world, people ask themselves “What am I going to eat today?” Their choices will be affected by the answers to other questions that are at the core of food security. Is the food affordable, or easy to get access to? Will it be nutritious, and free of contaminants? Is it locally grown, and will it be acceptable to their cultural or religious beliefs?

The thing is people usually don’t sit down and ask themselves these questions deliberately (if they ask them at all), any more than people debate the issues about our water supply when they’re thirsty. Instead, they just go and get a drink. No,

usually most people are too busy to contemplate the broader context of their food choices. That quickly changes, of course, if they are hungry and they can’t do anything about it.

When food security turns into food insecurity, then people become perfectly aware of how fundamental the issue is.

However getting people to recognize the broader truth that poor food security can be as damaging to public health as severe droughts or horribly polluted air won’t automatically cause everyone to stop fighting over it. After all, you’re talking about a topic that touches on GMOs, land development, and international trade agreements, so it will be a while yet before everyone is holding hands. But it’s a good place to start, and there is hope.

Just look at what happened in India in 2013, where their Parliament passed the National Food Security Act (NFSA), also known the Right to Food Act. This is a huge measure, on a scale almost incomprehensible from a Canadian point of view. Though there is sharp controversy over the merits of the Act, it provides subsidized food

grains to almost 800 million of India’s 1.2 billion citizens, with a special emphasis on providing for the needs of pregnant women, lactating mothers, and children. This Act affects twenty two times more people than the entire population of Canada.

Food security is a much steeper problem in India than in Canada, so it is not surprising that their awareness of scope of the challenge to secure it seems to exceed our own. India is trying bring a measure of food security to hundreds of millions of people by acknowledging that it is just as important to the well-being of their citizens as clean air and fresh water, and by treating it as a right, not as an act of charity. They have recognized the challenge they face; now they just have to figure out the rules.

We work to ensure that all people in the community have access to safe, nutritious, culturally appropriate foods that strengthen our environment and society.

Better Grades Happier Kids

School strike negatively impacts students Editor: Copy of a letter sent to Education Minister Peter Fassbender and B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker: The Richmond Board of Education is gravely concerned at the impasse that exists between the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation and the British Columbia Public Schools Employers’ Association.

We ask that both parties resume good faith negotiations in the spirit of compromise to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

Parents, students and staff continue to have questions

about report cards, summer programs, and normal yearend activities that have been disrupted. The conflicts at the bargaining table have reached a point where they are negatively impacting our children’s education, staff morale, and the underlying goodwill that forms the basis of British Columbia’s excellent education system.

The Richmond Board of Education will continue to advocate for increased, stable funding for our public education system. We ask that the government fully fund any negotiated settlement.

Grade 1 - 12 It can start happening today! With Oxford’s personalized programs and low teacher-student ratio, your child will see results almost immediately.

- Improved ConÀdence - Higher Self-Esteem

The current situation holds our children's education hostage to contract negotiations and is unacceptable in regards to the primary purpose of the public education system—providing our children with the best education possible.

We ask that as leaders of our educational community you work together to resolve this impasse in a timely fashion for the benefit of what matters most—our children.

Editor: As a 25-year resident of Trumpeter Drive in Richmond I am calling on the council and the zoning department of the City of Richmond to enact a moratorium on the permit issuing of three-storey houses.

It is time for a design review and usage review of three story houses that do not fit the scale or design of the neighbourhood.

The current three-storey monster house under construction on Trumpeter Drive and Puffin Court neither fits the scale of the neighbourhood nor the overall design of the current residences.

The lack of design review and the inappropriate scale of the house is an appalling insult to the neighbourhood and the neighbours who in the vast majority are disgusted by this monster house.

The City of Richmond needs to pay more attention to the design and continuity of urban communities.

It is time for a comprehensive urban planning review and stop to Richmond's history of disjointed neighbourhood planning.

The reason people buy in this neighbourhood is for the maturity of the landscaping and scale of the neighbourhood. I am not against new construction in the least. I am opposed to poor planning, poor design and irresponsible predatory practises resulting in destroying a neighbourhood.

I implore the city to take a look at what is currently built. It’s time for a moratorium on new construction until a policy that defines parameters of design and scale is determined. What is currently under construction is inappropriate in size and design.

I look forward to discussing an action plan.

letters Railway Greenway is gorgeous Editor: Driving down Railway Avenue the other day, from Granville to Steveston, I was surprised to realize I had a big grin on my face . . . the whole way!

Growing up, I had walked to school every day on the railroad tracks that have been torn up to make the new pathway along Railway. It’s odd sometimes, the things that bring back such good memories, but that is definitely one of them. And awhile back when I saw the tracks being taken up I was sad that something else—another memory from my childhood, was disappearing. Now, of course I understood why. There are no trains that run through Richmond any more—I’m not even sure they did when I was a kid. I never did see one.

But as I drove along Railway and saw the number of people using the beautiful flower and tree lined pathway—parents with kids, people walking dogs (on leash too!), others strolling, jogging, biking and roller blading . . . it made my day. I even saw a mother and son chasing butterflies with a net, in the poppies along side of the path.

Fantastic idea City of Richmond! I never thought I would be happy with anything other than the railroad tracks being there, but you changed my mind and you made it gorgeous.

Solution for Denture Sufferers Dental implants give you teeth with secure and solid foundation, so you can chew the foods you like and improve your nutrition.

Implants also help preserve the bone of the jaw and help keep you looking younger. Dental implants can now be placed with virtually no discomfort.

This procedure is performed in a routine dental setting on an outpatient basis and requires no hospitalization. The patient is able to go home the same day. “With new techniques, my patients are able to continue wearing their existing teeth during the entire healing period and never have to go a single day without teeth,” says Dr. Nelson.

Not only do dental implants benefit the person who is missing all their teeth and has loose dentures, they also help individuals missing a single tooth, or just a few of their teeth, by offering a more permanent replacement.

For a Complimentary consult and to receive a FREE Report on How Dental Implants End Denture Problems, Call 604-232-3900.

“I had been missing my four front teeth for over 40 years. My denture was very uncomfortable and I was constantly getting my tongue caught on it. I was having to take it out three times a day to clean. Now, my life is easier! No more taking my teeth in and out to clean. I feel more confident and happier. No more problems. My teeth look excellent!

Even my medical doctor said I had very strong teeth and was surprised they were implants. I am definitely enjoying eating again and cleaning my teeth is a breeze.

Don’t hesitate to have implants done.

It was very well worth it! It made a lot of difference in my lifestyle and I am enjoying having food again.

books Book represents what goes on in the hellhole they call the Downtown Eastside

S

ometimes the best books are the ones we stumble across, oblivious to their acclaim, and just hopeful for a few hours of entertainment.

Anatomy of a Girl Gang

by Ashley Little, the 2014 winner of the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize (BC Book Prizes), is all that and much more. It’s about as gritty a novel as you could wish to find, and follows

the story of five teenage girls who form a gang called the Black Roses, on the infamous Downtown Eastside of Vancouver.

The five girls, ranging in age from 15 to 18, are a ragtag collection of hurt, abused and exploited castoffs. Their leader, Mac, is the ringleader and brains behind the gang. Mercy is the Punjabi Canadian Princess whose skill at stealing cars, robbing banks, and shoplifting clothes and jewelry are practically legendary. Z, the newest member of the gang, is a waif-like graffiti artist.

Kayos, a Shaughnessy outcast, is 15-years-old and the mother of a twoyear-old daughter. Sly Girl hails from a First Nations reserve where she was abused, beaten and left with a mangled eye and scars on her face. Each of the girls has experienced addiction, poverty and prostitution firsthand. But miraculously, they find each other, and hope to

make a better life that will take them far away from the DTES. Living in a house on Cordova, close to the drug epicentre on Hastings and Main, the girls each have their assigned roles in the gang. Bringing in ridiculous sums of money by cooking and selling crack, and selling stolen cars to other gangs, the Black Roses manage to form a bond between them.

Avenging beatings and other wrongdoings, these vigilante gang girls take things into their own hands. Armed with guns and tough as nails, they navigate their way through daily challenges most of us could never even fathom.

Harsh doesn’t begin to cover what these girls have experienced in their short lifetimes. So it’s not surprising that by the book’s end, all but one of the Black Roses succumbs to depression and acts of desperation.

The story is told in six voices—that of each of the girls, and the voice of Vancouver. Be forewarned: the language is plenty coarse, and parts of the story are so graphic that you’ll want to close your eyes to block out the images that get branded onto your brain. But none of it is gratuitous. As a whole, it’s a believable representation of what goes on in the hellhole they call the Downtown Eastside.

While Anatomy of a Girl Gang is not an easy book to read, it’s written with such blunt and brutal honesty that you can’t not read it. It’s a living fictional history of one of Canada’s most infamous postal codes, and of the lost souls who live and die on its streets every day.

Coho to take bigger hit during sockeye fishery

Black Press Conservationists say a federally approved fishing plan sacrifices too many endangered coho salmon so fishing companies can catch more of an expected massive run of Fraser River sockeye this summer.

The predicted bonanza of sockeye—23 million with a chance it could be more than 70 million —means there’s intense pressure for fishermen to capitalize on the huge run.

But if too many coho are caught in the nets along with sockeye, it could be a major setback for Interior coho runs that were nearly wiped out in the late 1990s and had been gradually rebuilding.

In past years, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans has limited that unintentional bycatch to three per cent of the incoming coho run—once that many coho were caught sockeye fisheries were usually halted to protect weaker runs.

But DFO’s newly released plan more than quadruples that limit to a maximum 16 per cent of the coho run that can be killed this year by Canadian fishermen, not counting any bycatch by Americans.

“It should be called an overfishing plan,” said Watershed Watch Salmon Society biologist Aaron Hill, who accuses fishery managers of neglecting their duty to protect weak stocks.

“The main reason this is happening is because of heavy lobbying from the fishing interests who want to be able to catch more sockeye.”

A DFO letter to stakeholders says the changes will only be in effect for the 2014 season and was informed by an internal scientific review.

But Hill contends there is no scientific consensus on the safety of the coho protection measures.

“It should be called an overfishing plan.”

— Aaron Hill DFO spokesperson Michelle Imbeau said the higher permitted bycatch should still allow enough coho upriver to spawn to meet conservation recovery targets, based on an estimated run size of 50,000 coho.

Hill singled out the Canadian Fishing Co. (Canfisco) as a main lobbyist for looser coho safeguards.

Canfisco vice-president Rob Morley said there’s broad support for the plan in the commercial and recreational fishing sectors.

“In our view, the scientific analysis the department has done themselves shows the harvest at these levels are sustainable and don’t cause any conservation issues,” he said.

Besides coho, some weak runs of sockeye that return to Cultus Lake, Pitt Lake, Bowron Lake and Taseko Lake could also be at greater risk in a summer of heavy fishing for the abundant sockeye runs.

The sockeye now migrating back to B.C. from the north Pacific are the spawn of the massive 2010 run when 30 million unexpectedly returned.

Last year’s return of four million sockeye was more typical of recent years, although the numbers have improved since just 1.6 million sockeye returned in 2009, triggering the Cohen Inquiry.

Rain Restaurant helps you savour the summer If you are looking for the best prime rib in town, then savour the summer at Rain Restaurant‘s great outdoor patio.

The prime rib, available after 5 p.m., features 6 ounces of reserved Angus beef, along with a giant Yorkshire pudding, mashed potato and sumptuous seasonal vegetables. On Sundays, it’s the dinner special at $20.

Located in the Best Western Plus Abercorn Inn on Bridgeport Road., Rain, formerly known as the Highlander, was reborn last year with a new name, chef and patio.

There’s still favourites such as the prime rib and Shepherd’s pie to match the hotel’s Tudor stylings. But there’s plenty of other imaginative offerings as well— Chef Katt likes to have a variety of Asian meals mixed with Western cuisine. Take the $12.99 lunch specials for example.

Alliance, which represents 23 First Nations from Williams Lake to the Fraser’s headwaters, said aboriginal stakeholders were prepared to accept some increase in allowed coho bycatch in recognition that this is “a unique year” but said DFO’s decision goes too far.

“Basically they are opening the season on endangered species,” Sterritt said. “We’ve been in conservation mode trying to protect these stocks since 1998. We’ve seen some recovery in the last three years. But it’s still iffy.”

Conservationists argue more sockeye could be taken without putting coho at risk through increased use of selective in-river fisheries, which First Nations have practised for centuries.

Question of the Week Bob McHugh in his review of the Lincoln MKC reveals there is a new technology called “park out assist” which gets your vehicle out of the tight parking sport that the “park assist” shoehorned you into!

Jaguar offers performance at a ‘bargain’ price

by Zack Spencer If there is such a thing as an affordable supercar, the 2015 Jaguar F-Type Coupe might just come close.

Of course, that is relatively speaking, when compared with the sticker prices of its rivals.

This Jag will turn heads, thanks to its styling, and wealthier shoppers will doubtless be interested due to the price. Just as last year’s F-Type convertible won the praises of auto

journalists and the buying public, the hardtop version of this sexy car is more engaging, more powerful and arguably more beautiful. The North American launch for the Coupe was held in California traversing the twisty roads outside Los Angeles on the way to the Willow Springs racetrack for a thunderous romp around the circuit as fast as my skill would let me.

Looks The F-Type is sold with three trim levels, the $72,900 base, then the $84,900 S and the top of range R for $109,900. With 340hp, 380hp and a whopping 550hp, respectively, these cars are up on power and down on price when compared to similar priced/ horsepower Porsches. (The one exception is the new 450hp Corvette Stingray that has 450hp and a stunning $55,000 starting price.) What this car has over the competition, and the convertible version, is a sleek body and platform formed entirely from aluminum. With a special hydro-formed roof support that can carry four times the vehicle’s weight, the stiffness of the coupe is eighty percent greater than the convertible. And a stuff structure is what is needed if you want to make a supercar. The convertible has a 495hp but the coupe is fitted with a 550hp version of the supercharged V8 because the body and chassis has the strength to accommodate such a powerful engine.

Inside Almost every review of the convertible commented on the raspy exhaust note from either the supercharged 3.0L V6 or V8 engines. The S and R models of the coupe also get a sports exhaust that can be made louder or quieter with the press of a button, but the fixed roof of the coupe muted the impact compared to the convertible.

On the road to the track event, I drove the supercharged 380hp S model fitted with superb sports seats

and leather everywhere that matters, like the doors and dash. The back cargo area is surprisingly big and capable of accommodating two sets of golf clubs.

Jaguar has done a superb job of finishing the hatch area with a cover that helps separate the cabin from the trunk area.

The three main dials on the centre console are easy to use for heat and air conditioning but the radio/ navigation unit is not as quick or precise as I would like. In fact, I missed three turns on our drive route due to the lag in navigation display.

Drive As the trim levels increase in price the added features are not so much about additional luxury items, rather more performance features. As each trim gets more power, there are more aids to help get all that power down to the ground.

The S trim gets performance brakes and a mechanical limited slip differential but the R model adds torque vectoring to help steer the car through the corners and an electronic active differential to apply power more precisely to the rear wheels when the driver asks.

Ceramic brakes are also an option on the R trim. My instructor at Willow Springs was Davey Jones, who has two Rolex Daytona watches to show for his wins at the 24-hours of Daytona. The R on the track is nothing short of amazing.

With such low-end grunt from the supercharged 5.0L V8 engine and endless horsepower, the all-aluminum F-Type just danced in every situation. Willow Springs is a technical track but after a half dozen laps, the powerful cat roared with pleasure in every turn.

In performance mode the electronic aids are more forgiving allowing the car to rotate in the corners when pushed hard, the steering is very sharp and the driver can actually get the power down with confidence.

Verdict The Jaguar F-Type Coupe is an expensive machine but in the supercar world is a relative bargain. If you are in the market for a Porsche or other high-end coupe, this Jaguar, especially the R version is a car that demands attention when you look at it and gets respect when you drive it. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Honda Odyssey is a very clean machine

by Ian Harwood

The 2014 Honda Odyssey is ready to take you on your next big messy adventure with the kids and it can help you clean up too.

The van features the world’s first in-car vacuum system called the HondaVac. It comes complete with a replaceable filter, canister bag, nozzle accessories, and a hose capable of reaching the front seats.

My sister-in-law Cristina has an Odyssey van and has been transporting a full size shop vac and leaf blower around for years. My two nieces make quite a mess, unlike my tidy offspring. Just kidding. But before we get into an interior clean-up, let’s cast an eye over the vehicle’s exterior looks.

It has a stylish hood that sweeps down towards the grille. The headlights are angled up and back giving

Driver and front passenger seats are captain’s chairs that are very comfortable.

My tester included a leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, channel selector, cruise control, and hands-free telephone button.

Safety is paramount with mini-van owners; the Odyssey earned a 2013 IIHS top

Honda refers to the overall design as a lightning bolt.

Not only does it provide an exclusive appearance, but also adds increased visibility for third row passengers.

Very nice interior, everything laid out nicely. So many bells and whistles you almost would want to run through a checklist before driving.

Eight-passenger seating with a total passenger volume of 4,887 litres, whatever, that means. And all those passengers get thirsty so Honda put in 15 cup holders. The third row is a one-motion 60/40

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A new art exhibition that focuses on storytelling through drawing is now on at Richmond Art Gallery.

ATTACHMENTS by Lucie Chan and Marigold Santos features drawings and paintings that explore identity and place,

cultural attachment and loss.

Chan’s drawings are derived from conversations with others, while Santos’s large-scale paintings are inspired by her immigrant experience and Filipino folklore.

Chan is a Guyanese-Canadian artist and assistant professor at Emily Carr University. For ATTACHMENTS, Chan enlisted the help of others, often strangers, to collect stories.

Her methods involved placing an ad calling for participants, interviewing taxi drivers and living for a month in small town Portugal.

These personal exchanges are embodied in her installations, comprising hundreds of small drawings pinned across the gallery walls.

The paintings in ATTACHMENTS

come from the mind of Santos, a Montreal artist. Featured in some of her works is a frightening creature known as the asuang in Filipino folklore. This vampire-like creature severs her body from the waist up, hunting at night and returning to her lower half before morning.

The exhibition, which opened Thursday, runs until Aug. 17. The gallery, located inside the Richmond Cultural Centre at 7700 Minoru Gate, is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (until 9 p.m. Thursdays), and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends.

Artist Lucie Chan will present an Artist Talk on Thursday, July 24 at the gallery. The public event runs from 7 to 8 p.m.

Guitar Gods lose a god, but show still a go Led by Yngwie Malmsteen, show features Gary Hoey and Bumblefoot

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter There will be one less god on stage Saturday at River Rock Casino Resort.

The Guitar Gods show, led by iconic axeman Yngwie Malmsteen, has lost former Scorpions guitarist Uli Jon Roth, organizers announced Wednesday.

“Unfortunately we are forced to cancel my participation in this tour due to unforeseen circumstances which are beyond our control,” said Roth in a statement.

Joining Malmsteen will still be the multi-genre Gary Hoey and Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal of Guns N’ Roses.

The original concert lineup was to stretch over six hours, accord-

ing to a publicist.

Malmsteen, touted as one of the most technically accomplished guitarists of all time, is coming off a year in which he released his autobiography Relentless and embarked on a worldwide tour. In a career that spans three decades, his signature style of combining metal and classical spawned heavy metal genres known as shred guitar and neo-classical.

For his latest tour—this time of North America—Malmsteen promises fans of his rock and heavy metal guitar music can “expect the unexpected.”

“I raise the bar with every performance I do and this tour will be no different,” he said in a statement.

The guitarist’s wife and manager, April Malmsteen, created the Guitar Gods tour and serves as producer.

Doors open at 6 p.m. for the June 28 show; concert begins at 7 p.m. General admission tickets are $34.50, reserved balcony with floor access tickets are $44.50.

The Robokids Club brought bragging rights back to Canada after their performance at the VEX Robotics competition in Anaheim.

Grade 6 Richmond students grasp robotics top prize Group competed in VEX Robotics competition in Anaheim, California

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Four years worth of lessons in computer programming and problemsolving paid off for four local Grade 6 students.

Desmund Sun, Dexter Niu, Roark Zhang and William Liu, who for the past four years have been part of the Robokids Club, brought bragging rights back to Canada after their performance at the VEX Robotics competition in Anaheim, California in May. Mentored by Jason Zhang, who majored in computer science and holds a master’s degree in education, the team won the British Columbia title in March, and have been working on their latest robot ever since.

Up against 60 teams from 20 countries in their division, they came away as World Champions for 2014.

A total of 760 robotics teams from around the world, including China, Mexico and the United States, took part in the championships, which drew 15,000 participants, with the Richmond squad entering the VEX IQ championships.

Zhang said he sought a platform via which he could engage children to learn about traditionally-boring computer programming in a fun and stimulating way.

What kid doesn’t like robots, he thought, so he opened a robotics club where children learn about computer code writing and languages, with a

view to making a robot do what they want.

At the competition, the students’ robotic creation needed to be capable of operating autonomously as well as via remote-control in a driver mode.

Each team was tasked with designing a robot capable of quickly moving large and small multi-sided plastic balls (bucky balls) into goals either positioned on the floor, or elevated, with the harder targets earning more points. As well, the robots need to be able to place life-saver shaped hoops on scoring rings, and be able to hang from a high bar at the end of the match.

Teams were also aligned in pairs, where they had to work together toward a common goal, with the emphasis being on teamwork.

The final challenge was to come up with a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) research project which this year had a mathematical theme. The local team of 11 year olds came up with a robot capable of measuring the height of a remote object using simple trigonometry.

It was in the team competition where the local group excelled.

Partnered with Discobots from Houston, Texas, the two teams powered to the final.

That’s where they scored 142 out of a possible 156 points to jointly grasp the Teamwork Champion Alliance Trophy in the Middle School division.

Zhang said his club has 200 kids enrolled and they meet once per week.

There are three Robokids locations, in Surrey, Coquitlam and Richmond, the latter at 218-8136 Park Rd. For more information about Robokids, visit robokids.ca or call them at 604-630-2413.

Coach Carey calls it a day After 50 years in field hockey, Lance Carey says he’s retiring

by Don Fennell

IMPLANT RETAINED DENTURE

Sports Editor

L

ance Carey marked his 50th anniversary in field hockey last week handing out awards at the Richmond club’s annual year-end banquet.

A week earlier, Carey was busy offering sage advice to a group of tots at their final practice of the season after which he put away his clipboard— he insists—for the final time.

The always-affable Carey is calling it retirement from the game he loves.

But he’s agreed to come back as a consultant, an offer sure to be graciously accepted.

Mr. Field Hockey in Richmond, Carey is synonymous with the sport locally. As is his wife, Nancy, who helped to start the local girls’ program and daughter Alisa, who is the club’s current president and a former star player at University of B.C. It’s been quite a career for Carey, who, reflective of the true gentleman he is, has consistently put others first.

Ironically, his introduction to the game was quite literally by chance.

Back in 1965, Carey was a first-year student at University of B.C. and, being a more than proficient soccer player, was weighing the possibility of trying out for the Thunderbirds. in that sport. Fate, it would seem, had other ideas. “I didn’t even know what field hockey was,� he says. “It was on clubs day when a friend, who I’d known in high school, was trying to recruit players. He yelled at me, ‘Hey Lance, come over here!’The next morning I was at practice.�

UBC was a field hockey factory back then with no fewer than four men’s teams. Carey started out playing for the latter as a left halfback.

A self-confessed technician, he immediately showed an aptitude for the game and by his second or third year found himself suiting up for the B.C. second team in an international match against New Zealand. By 1976 he had shown enough ability to be selected to Canada’s national team for the Montreal Olympic Games.

After retiring as a player, Carey turned to coaching

Don Fennell photo After five-plus decades in the sport, as a player, coach and administrator, Lance Carey is retiring from the game. But, he says, he’s willing to be an occasional consultant.

and carved out a rewarding and successful career in that capacity too. One of his Richmond teams— all named after birds by the way—won six straight provincial championships and did not lose a league match. In a 1999 interview, former player Dara Storey said of the Careys: “they taught us so much not only about field hockey but life.�

Lance says coaching has been one of the most rewarding periods of his life. But, he says, the rewards have exceeded any contributions he’s made.

More than anything, he’s immensely proud of the countless number of players who have graduated from the Richmond Field Hockey Club and gone on to play, and often excel, at the university level— among them Kristen Taunton, who earned 99 international caps for the Canadian women’s national team during her career and is now a medical doctor. “It’s been a big and wonderful part of my life,� says Carey. “I’ll miss the coaching, but it’s been so rewarding to see all the

players grow up to be such wonderful people.

And many of them have or are now giving back to the sport by coaching themselves. That they

come back and volunteer to coach, even if they’re at university, has been one of the special things about Richmond Field Hockey.�

Questions and Answers: What inspired you to become a member?

I believe businesses owe it to the community to be involved in ensuring the well-being of the community from both a business view point and that of our society.

I attended a breakfast networking session, liked what I saw, met with

Lunch & Learn Seminar Three Secrets to turning Your Business into a Powerful Brand with Dan Chen from Stuck.

Noon at the Richmond Chamber of Commerce office $10 + GST.

the Executive Director and liked what I heard, and joined with a commitment to get involved.

Why do you think networking is important for business people?

Yes, I see it as relationship building and even if the people you meet when networking are not your typical client, invariably they know someone who is, and can introduce you to them. You in turn can do the same for those you meet.

What is some advice you would impart to our recent graduates?

You need to find an industry that you relate to, a firm you like who also produce products and services that you would be proud to be associated with, and then do what it takes to get hired. Along the way, if you want to start your own business that’s great, but get some experience first. By that then you should also have made contacts that can be a resource and customers for your new business.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 9 Strictly Networking Breakfast at the Quilchena Golf & Country Club 3551 Granville Avenue Registration & Breakfast 7 am Strictly Networking 7:30 – 9 am Member Tickets $20 (incl GST) Non-Member Tickets $30 (incl GST).

Incoming RCC chair, Gerald Edwards.

What do you think is the greatest challenge facing the business community in Richmond?

Respecting, embracing and engaging our diversity of cultures, and in particular our youth – they are our future, and a phenomenal and talented resource.

What do you hope to accomplish in your year as Chair of the RCC? Increased membership engagement! We are a membership organization, and engaging our membership in a beneficial and meaningful way is key to membership retention and growth.

The more engaged we are, the more input we have from our members, and the more informed we will be. We position ourselves as the voice of business in Richmond; with a more engaged membership, the stronger and more relevant our voice will be.

What are the advantages of being a member of the RCC? Being around people who care and want to make a difference in the well-being of others, our businesses, and our community.

MemberProfile Bayou Brewing celebrates 20 years

B

ayou Brewing has been helping its customers make wine & beer (as well as wine coolers, ciders, ice-wines, ports, sherries, sparkling wines, etc.) on premises since 1994. Mike Harvey, the current owner, has been involved since 2011. Their value proposition is simple – drink quality alcoholic beverages for a fraction of the price of what you can find in liquor stores.

Customers are savvy shoppers, mostly of two types: discerning beer connoisseurs, drawn by Bayou’s wide reaching reputation and impressive selection, and local wine lovers, who like to entertain and value the savings that U-Brew offers. Beer makers come from all over the lower mainland to brew at Bayou Brewing, whereas wine is more proximity based – 50% plus of whom are local Richmondites, and primarily from the Asian community. Mike Harvey understands his demographics and has hired staff fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese, Tagalog and more.

When Mike’s family relocated from Alberta to BC in 2010, he was able to turn his long-time hobby of making

wine and beer, into a full-time career.

Fascinated by the science, and with a deep love of the craft, Mike committed fully to providing a better U-Brew experience to his customers. When he bought the business, he upgraded the computer system, and with that updated technology was able to offer a more agile inventory.

Suddenly, Bayou Brewing was able to expand from 120 wine and beer kits choices to over 400!

Brewing one’s own beer or wine is an experience. Not only are customers saving money, they’re learning about the process and engaging in the production. When a customer comes to Bayou Brewing, they’re educated about the flavour differences in various products and can customize a beverage suited specifically to their own tastes, desires and budget. They can even print their own labels – to give as gifts or just impress guests! Once customers mix all the ingredients together, the product is left with Bayou to ferment for 5-9 weeks. Then, customers just pop by the store to bottle and finish the process. After that, the only thing left to do is enjoy!

I shop locally Steveston reminds me of the little town I come from in Germany where people know each other, and shopping locally is a way of life. I enjoy recognizing my customers and other business owners on the street or in the stores and greeting them by name.

Supporting our community is very important to my family and me. We enjoy shopping in the village where we can purchase groceries, pick up a coffee before work or dine out and have drinks with friends. I am proud to call Steveston home.

Pathways clubhouse offers winning partnerships to Richmond businesses

P

athways has been here in Richmond supporting 20 per cent of the population affected by mental illness for 30 years. Every day, more than 70 people use their location. Those people could be members of your family, your friends, your employees and your colleagues.

The transitional employment program, designed to get members out into the community and earning a living, is the cornerstone of the Pathways Clubhouse program. It works by arranging with an employer for Clubhouse to take on an entry-level job, such as maintenance, food preparation, dishwashing and office work. The employer trains a Clubhouse staff person to do the job. That staff person then arranges for a member, someone who has a mental illness, to take over the job and also takes responsibility to train that person. For the next six to eight months, the person with mental illness does the job, with

the support of the staff person. So if the person with mental illness is unable to show up for work, the staff person covers. The employer gets a guarantee from Pathways that the job will be done. And the member gets support with getting back into the workforce.

For employers, it is a good deal because they train a staff person once only. For members, it’s a good deal because if gives them the opportunity to develop work habits as well as job skills, being punctual, dress, hygiene, social skills in a safe environment. After six to eight months, the job passes to another member, who gets trained again by the Clubhouse staffer.

A Clubhouse member might go through several transitional jobs, before they find a job on their own. They can also restart their education with Pathways Clubhouse help with applications for schools or scholarships.

Once a member, they are always welcome at the Clubhouse.

Members have a

Spirit of Math Schools Inc. (SMS) has received the honour of ranking #323 in Canada’s Profit 500. The SMS organization has realized 5 year revenue growth rate of 154 per cent. The most interesting part of this announcement is that SMS spends less than two per cent of the total revenue on marketing, which points towards the fact that this phenomenal 154 per cent growth over five years has been driven by parental referrals.

The success of the 4,500+ students who are currently enrolled in 35 schools across Canada, with one in the U.S. and one in India experience in the classroom leads to student / parent referrals which continues to fuel SMS growth.

For more than 25 years, Spirit of Math students have dominated the national honour roles and mathematics competitions. The success of the students supported by the hardworking team and accredited teachers at Spirit of Math Schools is driving the growth.

Prospects eye future success Doubles teammates, Canada’s Brayden Schnur and Mexico’s Hans Hach are keen to advance their careers

by Don Fennell Sports Editor

B

rayden Schnur’s favourite post-match meal is a healthy serving of lasagna. It may be the perfect topping to this week’s Richmond Future tennis tournament.

One of Canada’s most promising young players, Schnur is poised to collect both valuable experience and points in the inaugural Lower Mainland International Tennis Federation men’s pro circuit event which draws to a close Sunday at the Richmond Country Club.

Ranked fourth in singles and third in doubles, with Mexico’s Hans Hach, Schnur will celebrate his 19th birthday July 4. Winning either, or perhaps even both, titles would definitely be icing on the cake for the affable University of North Carolina sophomore.

“I’m one of the youngest players in this tournament so it’s really all a learning process,” Schnur said after he and Hach defeated the Canadian pair of Riann Du Toit and Patrick Walker 7-5, 6-3 Wednesday to reach Thursday’s semifinal versus Ryan Cheung of Hong Kong and Oscar Matthews of the U.S. “There are a lot of aspects of my game that can improve.”

Ranked 564th in the world, one that could rise quickly this summer, Schnur’s potential is clear. Armed with a boatload of natural talent, he also aready stands six-foot-three and is still growing.

“I think I could still be bigger and stronger, but I’m getting quality matches and that’s the biggest things for me—playing the best players I can in the world,” he said. “Tournaments like this provide great experience.

Sure, it’s about results now too, but it’s a learning process even more.”

Highly-recruited out of Bill Crothers Secondary School, Schnur reached a career high junior world ranking of 26th and won the men’s doubles championship at the Mexico F17 Futures event. He also led Team Ontario

Don Fennell photo Ontario’s Brayden Schnur, 18, is among a growing crop of highly-regarded young Canadian tennis players. Currently ranked 56th in the world singles rankings, he’s hoping to make a strong impression—while gaining valuable points and experience—at this week’s Richmond Futures men’s pro circuit tennis tournament on through Sunday at the Richmond Country Club.

to a gold medal at the 2013 Summer Canada Games and also won the boys’ singles title at last year’s Canadian junior championship.

Though they’ve been familiar with one another, having played in many of the same tournaments in recent years, this is the first time Schnur and Hach have teamed

up. After three matches in the Richmond Futures, they seem to have established a good rapport.

“You see a lot of the same people going to the same tournaments, and so we’d known we each other for a while,” said Hach. “So I texted him asking if he wanted to play

doubles. I thought we could do pretty well because he’s got a big serve and that helps me out because I think I do pretty well at the net.”

Peliwo seems primed for finals showdown From Page 29

Originally from Culiacan, Mexico, Hans Hach, 24, graduated in 2013 from the small West Texas Abilene Christian University.

Currently ranked 1,100th in the ITP men’s singles rankings, Hach was an All-American in singles play his final year of college and finished ranked sixth in singles and 17th in doubles.

“It was a great experience and a lot of fun, but college tennis is so different,” he said.

“College is a process and going pro is another process.

You have to get used to playing on tour again and having to arrange your own schedule. I’m trying to find tournaments together, make the main draws and gain points as I’m working on improving my ranking. Right now I’m enjoying it a lot and as long I think I’m getting better why not continue. I’ve given myself at least three or four years to see where it goes.”

•Top-seeded Filip Peliwo, ranked 242nd in the ITP world rankings, is the favorite to net the singles award at the $15,000 Richmond Futures (sponsored by Davis Trading and Supply Ltd.) Sunday.

Philip Bester, the second seeded singles player in the tournament, won his first two matches 6-1, 7-5 over Felix Fan and 7-6, 6-1 over Chu to advance to a quarter-final match versus fifth-seed Rik De Voest of South Africa.

Bester, 25, of North Vancouver, reached No. 229 in the world rankings in 2011. His career singles record is 2-6 (at the ATP Tour level, Grand Slam level and in Davis Cup play).

Jecminek and Chu upset the No.1-seeded doubles team of American Patrick Davidson and Australian Chris Letcher 6-2, 4-6 (10-8) in first-round play, before losing 6-4, 6-2 to Cheung and Matthews in the quarter-finals.

Final-round play (singles and doubles) is scheduled to start at noon, but fans are encouraged to revisit the tournament website rccfutures.com for updated order of play.

McDermott set to join McGill With Quinton Bradley returning, university lacrosse team will feature two Richmond players next season Another Richmond lacrosse product is heading to Montreal.

After signing a letter of intent to play for the men’s lacrosse program this week, Danny McDermott will join fellow Richmond defender Quinton Bradley on the McGill University Redmen next season.

The six-foot-two, 200-pound transfer from New York Institute of Technology will be pursuing a certificate in applied marketing at McGill. He was a three-time Division II All-American and was twice named as the ECC defensive player of the year.

Prior to his stint south of the border, McDermott was a member of Team Canada’s Under-19 squad that competed at the 2012 world championships where he was named to the All-World team and selected as the tourney’s most outstanding defenceman. McDermott previously played box lacrosse in British Columbia with the Delta Islanders of the B.C. Junior A league.

“Strengthening our defensive unit was recruiting priority No.1, so we’re thrilled about the arrival of McDermott,” said Tim Murdoch, who has posted a 116-71-2 career record in 189

Premier living at Polygon’s Kingston House Heritage-style elegance is at top of mind at Polygon’s Kingston House, a collection of two-bedroom apartment residences in a master-planned community that is inspired by an Ivy League legacy.

“You can move in this summer,” says sales manager Judy Rohatyn. “With payments from $899 a month, this is a great opportunity for first-time buyers to purchase a home in the South Surrey market.”

Kingston House is the first apartment collection at Polygon’s Harvard Gardens, a master-planned community that is also

close to top schools, golf courses, shopping and dining.

“There’s nothing like this anywhere else,” Rohatyn says.

“Many parents of first-time buyers recognize the great value and are bringing their kids to Kingston House to assist them in buying their first home.”

The homes at Kingston House are spacious and inviting, with over-height ceilings on the main and fourth floor, generous patios or covered decks, and huge windows. Engineered stone countertops in the kitchen are complemented by flat-panelled cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. Rich wood laminate

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

flooring is featured throughout the main areas, with lush carpeting in the bedrooms. Spa-like bathrooms have designerselected imported porcelain tile flooring, engineered stone countertops and a contemporary patterned hand-set ceramic tile tub and shower surround with marble and glass mosaic tile accents. The master ensuite adds another touch of luxury with dual porcelain undermount sinks (most plans) and polished chrome accessories.

Outside, the architecture is inspired by the East Coast, with brick cladding, natural wood soffits and black metal detailing.

Homeowners at Kingston House will also have access to The Rowing Club; a private residents-only clubhouse featuring over 9,000 sq.ft. of resort-style amenities such as an outdoor pool and spa, gymnasium, fitness facilities, a screening room and other amenities. A resident concierge will be available to assist with your every need, and two fully furnished suites are available for out-of-town guests.

Two-bedroom homes start at $259,900. For more information, visit by the presentation centre at 152nd Street and 32nd Avenue, open 12 to 6 p.m. daily except Fridays, call 604-541-8092, or visit polyhomes.com.

The Cottages at Seabright Farm are located just minutes from the Lower Mainland, but you’ll easily be able to put your worries aside at your historically inspired cottage in a gorgeous ocean-view location. Tons of amenities are just around the corner, including the Point Roberts Marina.

Feeling the breeze at The Cottages at Seabright Farm

By Kerry Vital

The Cottages at Seabright Farm is the largest and newest residential project in Point Roberts. Construction recently started, and Lower Mainland residents are flocking to it to purchase their own private piece of paradise.

“You can purchase an ocean-view cottage for less than the price of an average condominium in Vancouver,” says Wayne Knowles of Orca Shores LLC, the project’s

developer.

Seabright Farm is comprised of 58 lots spread across 62 acres of gently sloping south-facing waterfront. The large lots (1/4 to 1/2 an acre) offer privacy along with the great views and are located in three distinct zones: the Bluff, the Meadows and the Woodlands. Seabright Farm will also have a barn/community centre, greenhouse, outdoor swimming pool and hot tubs, sauna, community vegetable and flower gardens,

and orchards. The trails are perfect for running, cycling or horseback riding, and offer direct access to the beach. Because of both the elevation and south slope of the entire property, you’ll find a gorgeous view no matter where you purchase.

The cottage plans range from 850 to over 2,500 square feet, in a variety of two-or-morebedroom floor plans. The styles include open floor plans, stone fireplaces, sunny window seats, hardwood flooring, large relaxing decks and covered porches. All of the plans give owners the option to expand their cottages in the future, whether it’s with a guesthouse, a studio or a separate master suite. Covered decks and breezeways can be built between the buildings, and garages (complete with guest suites) or potting sheds added to truly make your Seabright cottage your own.

The cottage designs have been specifically developed to reflect the historical summer cottages and simple farm buildings typical of Point Roberts.

That character is obvious when you visit the sales centre, which is actually an original farmhouse from the 1890s that’s been outfitted with finds from garage sales and Pottery Barn. It will become an additional gathering place for Seabright owners, along with the barn-themed community hall that will be used as a venue for neighbourhood

gatherings, art shows for local artists, cooking demonstrations, musical performances and wine tastings, among many other things!

And beyond Seabright Farm, Point Roberts has plenty of other things to do, whether you’re staying for a month, a week or just a weekend. Play a round of golf at the 18-hole Point Roberts Golf and Country Club, or pay a visit to the Lighthouse Marine Park to see Orca whales, comb the beach or go clamming or crabbing. The 275-acre Lily Point Marine Reserve is just around the beach corner from Seabright Farm, and features sandy bluffs and tidal flats. The full-service Point Roberts Marina has over 900 slips and is also only minutes away. The Point’s unique restaurants and eclectic shops round out the experience.

Canadians looking to purchase a cottage at Seabright Farm will be able to secure attractive long-term financing through a U.S. banking institution with 20 per cent down, and a Real Estate Disclosure Statement has been filed in British Columbia.

With the opening of the South Fraser Perimeter Road earlier this year and plans to build a new bridge to replace the tunnel on Hwy 99, getting to Point Roberts is becoming that much more convenient from all parts of the Lower Mainland.

The pricing at Seabright Farm is also exceptional, with lots starting at $180,000 U.S., while cottage and lot combinations start at $399,000.

For more information about The Cottages at Seabright Farm, visit www. seabrightfarmcottages.com, call tollfree at 1-888-732-6915 or email info@ seabrightfarmcottages.com.

Gawdin invited to Hockey Canada U18s Richmond’s Glenn Gawdin has been invited by Hockey Canada to attend the national summer under-18 team selection camp Aug. 2 to 5 in Calgary.

A forward with the Swift Current Broncos of the Western Hockey League, which drafted him fifth overall in the 2012 Bantam draft from Seafair Minor Hockey, Gawdin is one of 44 players in the Canadian Hockey League to be invited to the camp, which will determine the lineup for the team that will travel to Europe to compete in the 2014 U18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup Aug. 11 to 16 in Breclav, Czech Republic and Piestany, Slovakia. Of the 44 players who have been invited to the selection camp, 22 will be selected for Canada’s National Men’s Summer Under-18 Team. Canada has won the summer under-18 tournament six consecutive years and nine of the last 10.

The camp roster includes 18 players from the Western Hockey League, 15 from the Ontario Hockey League, 10 from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and one who

played U.S. high school hockey last season.

In total, 40 players (four goaltenders, 16 defencemen and 20 forwards) competed at the 2014 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, and three players (Mathew Barzal, Lawson Crouse and Travis Konecny) helped Canada’s National Men’s Under-18 Team win a bronze medal as under-agers at the 2014 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 World Championship in Lappeenranta and Imatra, Finland.

The players, born in 1997, were selected by Ryan Jankowski, Hockey Canada’s head scout for men’s national teams, in consultation with head coach Derek Laxdal .

“It is always a challenge to select players given the depth of talent in Canada,” Jankowski said. “As a staff, we will have difficult decisions to make, but our goal remains to select the best team, and to represent Canada proudly at this event.”

Gawdin, who will be elgible for the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, played 66 games for the Broncos last season in which he scored 10 goals and assisted on 12 others.

Local seniors and other residents in dire need of dental care had reason to smile at a recent free dental clinic at Richmond Hospital. Led by Dr. Doug Nielsen of Steveston Smiles and his wife Susan, the third Dental Mission Project / University of B.C. Dentistry clinic brought together 14 UBC students, local dentists and a denturist to provide free dental care April 5. Doug and Susan founded the Dental Mission Project Society in 2008 with the help of family, friends, Milan and Maureen Ilich Foundation, Patterson Dental and Steveston Rotary Club. The society provides dental equipment and supplies to local dental teams to use in volunteer clinics both locally and internationally. It has helped facilitate over $2 million of free dentistry to thousands of people in need throughout the world.
