Bigger is better, critic says of pool City moving ahead with 25-metre pool for new Minoru Park facility

Library takes a page out of the ebook Preloaded e-readers have 10 titles suited to either adults, teens or children

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter If you’re less than interested at the thought of borrowing dog-eared books, the Richmond Public Library has something that might suit you.

Last week, the library launched its new e-reader lending program, where members can borrow a Kobo eReader pre-loaded with popular titles tailored to either adults, teens or young children.

Of the 25 e-readers available, all but one have been gobbled up, and there’s already a waiting list. There are 15 set

A longtime local resident wonders why the city didn’t opt to build a 50-metre pool instead of the current 25-metre pool currently called for in plans to replace the Minoru Aquatic Centre.

Chris Neale, a former facilities manager for the University of BC Aquatic Centre, said the city’s existing plan is shortsighted, and lacks the longterm vision needed for the downtown core.

“If council is going to spend $80 million...could we have a facility that complements this community, that will serve us for the next 50 years?” Neale wrote in a letter to council. “A 25-metre pool just does not serve the best interests of the community.”

Coun. Bill McNulty said he

aside for adults, five for teens, and five for young children.

“It’s been quite popular for just one week after launch,” said Kat Lucas, co-ordinator of e-services at Richmond Public Library.

The program was introduced by popular demand, Lucas said, and it’s the youngest set who are particularly keen on reading.

The e-readers can be borrowed for up to 28 days, and come with a USB cord for charging the device.

also posed the question about the 50-metre pool for the $80-million facility, which will house both a replacement for the existing pool as well as a seniors centre.

But he said there wasn’t enough support on council to build the longer pool.

Rosemary Nickerson, vicechair of the Richmond Aquatics Services Board, explained that a longer pool would have used up the space necessary for secondary pools (a leisure pool and a teaching pool) that better meet the needs of those recreational users who currently frequent the facility.

Having multiple pools heated to different temperatures would provide more space for offering different programs, such as physiotherapy and lessons, she said, adding that between 1,500 and 1,800 people use the Minoru facility daily.

IKEA bargained in bad faith, says labour board Orders firm to cease bargaining directly with workers, and to put an end to paying premiums to workers who crossed picket line

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter The Labour Relations Board has ordered furniture-making giant IKEA to compensate the union representing striking workers for breaching two sections of the Labour Relations Code.

In a ruling released Thursday, Bruce R. Wilkins, associate chair of adjudication for the board, found that IKEA representatives tried to entice workers to cross the picket line with promises of pay premiums above and beyond what was offered to the union during rounds of collective bargaining talks.

In allegations made by Teamsters Local Union No. 213 that were not disputed by IKEA, employees on the picket line were “actively approached” by Suzanne Harrison, deputy Human Resource manager for IKEA Canada, and Madeline LowenbergFrick, spokesperson for IKEA Canada on May 14, 2014. Harrison and Lowenberg-Frick handed out copies of the Frequently Asked Questions section of the company’s website (richmondcoworkers.ca) that contained new information posted that same day, the ruling said.

That included: •an automatic five per cent wage increase and $500 bonus; •a $2.50 hourly premium for all hours worked “while the strike is ongoing.”

The last proposal by the company contained a three-per-cent

annual wage increase.

The union also alleged Harrison confirmed during the discussion that the web posting was a new offer, and that Harrison said no worker in Canada had ever been fired for crossing a picket line, though IKEA denied these statements were made.

Wilkins found that IKEA violated the Labour Relations Code through its web posting.

“When it posted the web posting, however, the employer undermined the union and its exclusive bargaining agency under the code. At that point, the employer no longer met either the objective or subjective elements of the requirement to bargain in good faith...”

And by offering a wage increase greater than what it offered the union, the board found IKEA was “inducing the employer’s employees to refrain from becoming or continuing to be a member of a trade union.”

Wilkins ordered IKEA “pay to the union the amount equivalent to all monies paid to bargaining unit employees from the beginning of the labour dispute which are in excess of the pay the employer was willing to agree to with the union in collective bargaining.”

IKEA was also ordered to cease contravening the labour code, cease bargaining terms and conditions of employment directly with employees, and declare the terms and conditions offered to employees in the web posting in

excess of what was offered to the union at the bargaining table as null and void.

It’s unclear how much the ruling might cost IKEA, which is appealing the decision to the board.

Anita Dawson, business rep for Teamsters 213, said another application to the labour board revolves around the 35 IKEA workers who crossed the picket line and returned to work.

The union claims that IKEA is not returning to the bargaining table until the issue of the future of those 35 workers is resolved.

The union wants this issue set aside and handled separately, Dawson said, while negotiations resume. Dawson said the union is amenable to having those 35 employees work at IKEA’s nonunion site or having them promoted to management.

Madeleine Lowenberg-Frick said the premiums offered to those employees who crossed the picket line were only paid to fairly compensate those employees for the new work they were tackling.

“They are meeting these customers with a reduced workforce and are learning new skills and working in new areas. Many are performing functions that are higher paid roles with a higher level of responsibility from their usual jobs,” Lowenberg-Frick said.

IKEA workers have been on strike since May 13, 2013, approaching 15 months.

Minoru pool From Page 1 Discussions about the replacement facility have been in the works since 2007, she said, and lots of thought has been put into it.

Coun. Ken Johnston said the city listened to community input in reaching its decision to build a 25-metre pool instead.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said building a 50-metre pool that’s more suited to hosting competitions in the downtown core isn’t a wise idea.

He noted that Watermania, for which the city still has a lease effective until 2027, has a 50-metre competition-friendly pool and plenty of parking for users.

Brodie said enlarging the footprint of the facility to accommodate both the longer pool and the other pools would have come at the sacrifice of other park space.

“It’s important that we maximize our use of space,” he said.

“We don’t want to extend the building significantly.”

The proposed new facility will provide one-third more water space in a better-designed facility, Brodie added.

11TH AN ANNUAL

Consultation sheds light on farmland changes

FRI, SAT & SUN 11 AM–6 PM

Black Press

2014

AUG 8–10

by Tom Fletcher Since commercial production of wine or cider is allowed on farmland, why not a brewery, distillery or meadery?

Should energy co-generation be allowed on farms, using manure or other biodegradable waste to produce methane gas and carbon dioxide?

These are some of the questions included in the B.C. government’s consultation on changes to Agricultural Land Reserve regulations, released this week. Others deal with controversial proposals to allow specified nonfarm uses, secondary residences and subdivisions without permission from the Agricultural Land Commission.

Developed after consultation with the B.C. Agriculture Council, local governments and the commission, the 11 questions offer more detail on changes the government is considering under legislation passed despite protests this spring.

The legislation divided the ALR into two zones, to permit more flexibility in the Interior, Kootenay and North regions (Zone 2) where both agriculture revenue and development pressure

are lower.

Another proposal is to allow subdivision without ALC approval where farmland is divided by a major waterway or highway, subject to a minimum size.

The province is also considering relaxing lease rules, which currently permit leasing of an entire farm property without ALC approval. The consultation asks if a portion of property should be allowed for lease to permit “intergenerational transfer,” where farmers retire on a portion of their land so their children can continue to farm the rest.

Another proposal for partial lease without ALC approval would allow unfarmed land to be brought into production. The partial leases would not require a formal subdivision.

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has emphasized that changes to the ALR are designed to support farming, not erode the protected agricultural land base.

Public input is being accepted until Aug. 22. The questions and a background paper are available online at engage.gov.bc.ca, where submissions can be made.

Anti-gang tactics are working, RCMP says

“It needs to become part of the fabric of British Columbia that this kind of behaviour is not tolerated. We take our young kids, we turn them into superstars in our communities—not gangsters.� — Dan Malo

Killings down but officer wants to keep pressure on

by Jeff Nagel Black Press The battle against gangs in B.C. has made big advances but now is not the time to relax, a top B.C. Mountie told a conference on youth gang prevention.

RCMP Chief Supt. Dan Malo said last Thursday he believes redoubled community efforts and new policing tactics can further dent organized crime and prevent a resurgence of the gangland bloodbath of five years ago. “We’re down in the statistics,� Malo told delegates in Surrey at the Acting Together gang prevention conference organized by Kwantlen Polytechnic University. “A number of [gangsters] are in jail, a number of them are dead, a number of them have changed their behaviour and others we have forced to change their behaviour.�

There have been just three gang-linked murders in B.C. so far this year, way down from 2007 to 2009, when the annual death toll ran as high as 36.

Malo said it’s becoming clear a police strategy of pressuring prolific gangsters to make life uncomfortable and rob them of their power and influence is helping.

He said it’s also clear earlier enforcement in B.C. failed because gang members “weren’t being touched� while they spent lavishly and developed the attitude they were “superstars� who could kill at will. “In the ‘90s and the 2000s we let people people like [gangster] Bindy Johal run crazy.

We let the United Nations Gang and the Independent Soldiers run around with hoodies on that said they were all that.�

Youth in B.C. cities were recruited and sucked into the vortex of violence. “Many of these young kids went from street level bullying to drug trafficking to extortion to contract killing in a matter of a few years,

when traditional organized crime takes decades to do that.�

Past policing success was measured too much by the number of bad guys jailed or kilograms of cocaine seized, Malo said, and focused heavily on taking out top crime kingpins.

Today, he said, more effort aims to change attitudes and behaviours. “It needs to become part of the fabric of British Columbia that this kind of behaviour is not tolerated. We take our young kids, we turn them into superstars in our communities—not gangsters.�

The new endganglife. ca campaign of B.C.’s anti-gang police unit plays on emotions of gangsters with imagery of loved ones left behind after they’re dead.

Malo said it worked on one ex-Lower Mainland gangster, who recently agreed to exit the life rather imagine his child having to bury him.

The biggest challenge was answering the man’s question of what he would do now to keep earning $6,000 a day.

Malo said officers arranged for the exgangster to enter a training program for a job that will pay well. “If they choose to exit that lifestyle, we’re going to help them do that,� he told delegates. “We’re going to support them because they’re going to change their behaviour.�

Community groups can play a huge role in helping build strong character in youth and “give them role models that are not Jamie Bacon.�

Malo also wants to put pressure on others who profit from gang activity. “We have to lean on businesses that take straight cash for vehicles,� he said. “We know car rental places that make all their money from renting cars to gangsters.

We need to work with them maybe tell them

that’s not the right side of the community they need to be in.�

While there have been signs of success—Malo also counts the doubling in the price of cocaine in the past couple of years to $60,000 a kilogram, indicating a crimp in supply—there

are also trouble spots.

Heroin overdoses have spiked in the last six months, he said.

And too many B.C. criminals remain influential players in the international drug trade. “Now is not the time to take our foot off the gas.�

Black Press The federal government has responded to the strengthening of aboriginal title in B.C. by following the province’s lead and focusing on resource use agreements rather than full-scale treaties that have been slow and expensive to negotiate.

A shift in federal policy was announced Monday by Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Minister Bernard Valcourt, endorsing non-treaty and incremental treaty agreements such as B.C. has focused on in recent years.

Valcourt also appointed Vancouver lawyer Doug Eyford as a special advisor, to follow up on his advice to Ottawa last fall on developing West Coast oil and gas export projects.

B.C. Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad welcomed the change in federal approach, describing resource agreements as “stepping stones to reconciliation.

“We had been hoping the federal government would come to the table with things like our

by Tom Fletcher

non-treaty agreements and our incremental approach to treaty for quite a few years,” Rustad said in an interview Tuesday. “That has been something they’ve resisted, but now they’re going to come to the table with that, and we welcome that.”

B.C. recently signed its first liquefied natural gas resource sharing agreement for facilities proposed near Prince Rupert. On July 11, B.C. reached its 150th forest resource sharing agreement with the Seabird Island Band in the Fraser Valley, and has developed similar revenue deals for mining and hydroelectric projects.

Ottawa is also promising to restart fisheries talks that have been on hold since the Cohen Commission reported in 2012 on the health of Fraser River sockeye salmon runs. The B.C. Treaty Commission has protested for years that Ottawa’s footdragging has contributed to the slow pace of talks, with only four treaties completed since the three-way structure was set up in 1992.

Chief Commissioner Sophie Pierre has warned of over-em-

phasis on resource agreements, with Ottawa and B.C. focused on northern B.C. pipeline and energy projects. Rustad said there are resource projects all over the province that can benefit, adding there will be new agreements announced in the near future.

Valcourt’s announcement mirrors the main recommendations of Eyford’s report last fall. It called for “targeted efforts to build effective relationships, including refinements to Canada’s current approach to consultation and engagement, to explore mutually beneficial initiatives that support reconciliation, and to encourage aboriginal communities to resolve shared territory issues.”

Rustad said Ottawa is moving on Eyford’s recommendations, not in response to the landmark aboriginal title case decided in favour of the Tsilhqot’in Nation in June.

The Supreme Court of Canada upheld Tsilhqot’in title to the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake, striking down provincial logging permits issued without aboriginal consent.

s we approach the middle of the summer driving season, it’s important to think about a number of issues.

One is paying close attention to what is going on around you or, as it used to be called, driving defensively.

In a day and age of widespread cellphone use, texting and driving, vehicles equipped with audio and video entertainment systems and increasing traffic congestion on what used to be much quieter streets, paying attention to all circumstances, within and outside

your vehicle, is more important than ever.

A crash between an RCMP cruiser and a van in Aldergrove last week could serve as an illustration.

The van, which contained a family of four, had Alberta plates and it is possible the driver was not fully familiar with the intersection.

While the cruiser was heading to a call and had emergency equipment activated, it is possible the driver simply did not see or hear the police vehicle.

Kal Tire has issued a press release noting an often-overlooked summer driving issue—regular checks of tires. In particular, the

B.C.-based tire firm notes the importance of being fully aware of issues with RV and trailer tires, something that is often overlooked.

“Drivers need to be checking their tires regularly. Just a few simple maintenance steps, before you leave and during your trip, can really reduce your risk of having your holiday interrupted by tire failure,” says Carey Hull, director of retail products, Kal Tire.

Passenger vehicle tires are not meant for many trailers. While RVs can be equipped with light truck tires, most trailers require special trailer tires, built to have stiffer,

heavy duty sidewalls to accommodate heavy loads and track straight to reduce bounce and sway problems.

Kal Tire emphasizes the importance of regularly checking tire pressure and also ensuring that RVs and trailers are not overloaded. This is equally true for all vehicles.

The coming B.C. Day long weekend is often the busiest of the year for vacation travel. Ensuring that your vehicle is safely equipped for travel, and paying close attention to other drivers, will make for a safer trip.

In defence of younger drivers

B.C. Views Tom Fletcher

A

recent column on the B.C. government’s decision to raise speed limits on portions of rural highways excited numerous comments from readers.

Some questioned my suggestion that today’s new drivers are worse because they spend their formative years staring at screens in the back seat instead of looking out the window and grasping the grim physics of the real world.

There is no doubt that B.C.’s graduated licensing system for new drivers is more difficult than what my generation faced. Those vehicle stickers with the “L” (for learner, or as teens prefer “loser”) and “N” (for novice, or in teen-speak “nerd”) have been around since 1998. The two steps make getting a full driver’s licence a longer, more difficult and expensive process.

Statistics provided by ICBC show what new drivers are up against.

First there is the written “knowledge test” to obtain a learner’s permit. From 2004 to 2008, more than half of applicants failed in their first attempt. Things improved in subsequent years, with a 46-per-cent failure rate in 2009 declin-

ing to 42 per cent by 2013.

The first road test is required to go from “L” to “N” and it seems sufficiently harsh. The failure rate has been consistently around 47 per cent in the past six years. More practice and another $35 are required to try again.

Students fare better on the second road test, where the failure rate has consistently been 21-22 per cent for the past decade.

ICBC reports that in the first three years of the graduated licence program, the new driver crash rate dropped by 16 per cent. In 2003 the required learner and novice period were extended, and restrictions on the novice stage were increased. New driver crashes fell by another 28 per cent.

Those restrictions include the number of passengers and a “zero tolerance” for alcohol.

Impaired crash and injury statistics aren’t available for drivers in the graduated licence program, only fatalities. They grew as more new drivers were enrolled in the new system, to a high of 24 in 2007, but that declined to 14 by 2012.

There will always be young people who drive impaired, speed or make other fatal errors. But it’s difficult to argue that today’s system in B.C. is lenient.

A couple of readers were concerned about the effect of higher rural speed limits on older drivers. One suggested that higher limits on rural highways are a poor mix with vacationing

seniors hauling around oversized motorhomes, trailers and boats.

Another cited the coming wave of retired baby boomers and added a likely increase in marijuana-impaired drivers, all emboldened by the invitation to drive faster.

B.C.’s medical health officers issued a letter denouncing the decision

by Transportation Minister Todd Stone to raise speed limits. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the research is clear that higher speeds increase the risk and severity of incidents.

Then there is the government’s own position, articulated in a road safety strategy released last year

by Attorney General Suzanne Anton.

“Research is conclusive that at higher speeds, more people are killed and injured in the traffic system,” it states. “At lower speeds, fewer are killed and injured as a direct result of the safety buffer that lowered speeds create.”

The strategy notes that new technologies such as adaptive cruise control are becoming available. B.C. is also testing electronic highway speed limit signs that change with weather and traffic conditions.

Next comes self-driving vehicle systems, so drivers will be able to check their phones again.

Councillor CHAK AU

Tunnel plan needed before council endorsement Editor: The Massey Tunnel replacement project should have not been “endorsed” by Richmond council on June 26 for the following reasons.

Tolls to use a new bridge could hurt the economy in Richmond, possible relocation of traffic congestion, information about the project has not been made available, staff concerns have not been addressed, the toll has not been determined and public consultation has not been satisfactory.

In a report, staff state concerns that a new bridge could move the congestion from the tunnel to the south end of the Oak Street Bridge, and we are still waiting to see how the minister of transportation will tackle that issue.

Staff also report that a new interchange for Blundell Road has been part of the Official Community Plan since 1999, and they expect it to be part of the new bridge proposal. The Blundell area residents have a strong opposition to an interchange and their concerns must be addressed.

Port Metro Vancouver also states in a letter that it encourages the ministry to explore the option of an interchange at Blundell to allow for a better trucking route.

We do not know how this could affect the quality of life for people living in the area.

City staff also indicate that the bridge would likely be tolled, and they have concerns about the tolling methods used by the province since they tend to shift traffic to crossings that are free to use, such as the Alex Fraser Bridge.

Staff also say that they want clarification of the travel numbers since the ministry claims that 50 per cent of tunnel traffic is destined for Richmond. This number seems unrealistic. Staff also say that the new bridge will likely allow for eight to 10 lanes.

Clarification is needed on how those lanes will be used because that information could help with rapid transit or impede it.

The tunnel could be saved and improved at great cost savings to taxpayers. Simply limiting truck traffic during the day would alleviate enough traffic to reduce

City Board Construction notice Sanitary forcemain replacement on Blundell Road from Frobisher Drive to Railway Avenue The City will be replacing the existing sanitary forcemain as it is nearing the end of its lifespan.

the gridlock.

The biggest concern for me is that Port Metro Vancouver argues the Fraser River is as significant to the Canadian economy as the Saint Lawrence Seaway. In my opinion, following in the footsteps of that business model is not something I can support.

While it is important to have economic growth, I feel ultimately the new bridge would result in industrial-

izing both sides of the Fraser, threatening the most important salmon run in the world along with threatening the very successful tourism industry in Steveston.

While I understand quickly pushing this contentious agenda item through, during the typical vacation season for most people in Richmond, may seem expedient ,it will likely have a backlash effect.

With the provincial

government demonstrating that this is an incomplete project with no plans in place for how it will pay for this iconic bridge, I believe it would make more sense to the average taxpayer to delay support and instead take a wait-andsee approach before endorsing a plan that would forever change the landscape of Richmond.

Two-way single lane traffic on Blundell Road, from Frobisher Drive to Railway Avenue, will be maintained during the construction period. Delays may occur.

Temporary left turn restrictions along the construction route may be in place.

Motorists and cyclists are asked to pay close attention to all construction signage and follow the direction of traffic control personnel or take alternative routes.

letters Welcome to the family of vacant high-rises, Vancouver

Letter-writer stands with premier on Israel

Editor: With the announcement that the new Vancouver House twisty condo tower is being marketed in Asia before being made available to local buyers, and that it is likely that 50 per cent or more of the units will be owned by off-shore investors and will therefore probably remain permanently unoccupied, perhaps we Richmondites should send a “Welcome to the family” card to the citizens of Vancouver.

And if they want to get a glimpse of the future we could also organize tours of Richmond’s numerous halfoccupied high-rises.

Community planning, B.C. style.

Ray Arnold Richmond

Editor: The chairman of Canada Palestine Association, Hanna Kawas, said Premier Christy Clarke should not be speaking on behalf of British Columbians with regard to showing support for Israel.

Clark, in this instance, speaks loud clear for me, as I support Israel, always have and always will. It is the only democracy in an area completely surrounded by brutal dictatorships that are currently slaughtering hundreds of thousands of their own innocent men, women and children and not a peep of protests from worldwide Muslims.

Yet when the Israelis try to defend themselves against Hamas aggression and over 1,000 innocent Palestinians are killed, some by Hamas rockets, there are many protests from Muslims.

We can be assured that if Canada was threatened, Israel, along with our other allies would come to our assistance

without question, can we say the same about the Muslim world, I am afraid not.

The people of Israel only want to live in peace and do not threaten any country, yet day after day Iran, Libya and Syria make threats to wipe the Israel off the map and not one protest from all the “peace loving Muslims.”

Metro incineration plan gets expert boost Region urged to avoid ‘magic’ garbage sorters

by Jeff Nagel Black Press Metro Vancouver mayors say they’re confident their controversial strategy to incinerate more garbage for power is the right one after seeking advice from European experts.

The regional district hosted a forum July 22 that featured British and Dutch experts who

warned that cheap landfilling is the main barrier to much higher recycling rates, not incineration.

Both countries make considerable use of waste-to-energy plants.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the Europeans cautioned against building too much incineration capacity—Metro has already reduced the size of its planned new plant from 500,000

tonnes per year to 370,000.

And he said the key takeaway was not to believe the “magic” claims of proponents of material recovery facilities, which are highly automated sorting centres that extract recyclables from garbage.

Belkorp Environmental wants to build a mixed-waste material recovery facility in Coquitlam.

See Page 12

Black Press file photo Cheap landfilling is a bigger barrier to higher recycling rates than incineration, European experts told Metro Vancouver politicians earlier this month.

‘We should be looking at a spectrum of experts’ From Page 11 The firm argues Metro might not have to build a new incinerator if enough paper, plastic and other recyclables can be extracted.

Metro’s Bylaw 280—which is still awaiting approval by the province—would allow very limited use of mixed-waste facilities to sort garbage from apartment buildings that don’t have adequate recycling facilities.

The bylaw has been opposed by various business groups and the Fraser Valley Regional District, which says it will embrace the facilities.

Belkorp vice-president Russ Black argues firms like his should get a chance to extract recyclables from garbage before it’s landfilled or incinerated, as a final pass to reduce waste. “There’s no risk to Metro Vancouver or the public with respect to giving these things an opportunity to work,� he said.

But Moore says approving broad use of the facilities would be a step backwards, unravelling 25 years of public education to convince residents to separate their recyclables, rather than throwing everything in one garbage bin.

Black insists the real issue is Metro’s pursuit of wasteto-energy. “Mixed-waste material recovery facilities compete with incineration. They’re after the same feedstocks.�

He also questioned the objectivity of Metro’s forum, calling the Dutch expert an advocate of incineration. “It was just a promotion exercise,� Black said.

Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer said it would have been more prudent to also invite experts from a country like Denmark, which she said has recently turned back from a heavy emphasis on incineration in pursuit of better recycling rates. “We should be looking at a spectrum of experts,� she said.

Cihang Group to deliver courses on Chinese culture

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Courses on Chinese traditional culture, history, language and medicine will be taught at Trinity Western University campuses in Richmond and Langley following an agreement signed earlier this month with Cihang Group.

“We are excited about the opportunity to develop programs that will meet the needs of people in and around Richmond,” said TWU associate provost Philip Laird.

In the agreement on collaborative program delivery, Cihang will also deliver a transition program for

international students to prepare them for the challenges of post-secondary school educational life in Richmond.

“We have the competence, strength and experience to make these programs successful and grow the education of Chinese culture and medicine in the Richmond community,” said Jacqueline Zeng, director of Cihang International Group Corporation.

TWU’s new Richmond campus is slated to open its doors in March of 2015, right next to the new city centre community centre.

“TWU has a strong history of collaborations with other educational experts in growing fields,” said TWU president Bob Kuhn.

An agreement signed July 11 between Cihang Group and Trinity Western University will see courses on Chinese culture, history and language taught in Richmond.

the new minimums.

That will still be the case for pints in some locales—bars that had charged less than $5 must raise their prices to that minimum for 20 ounces.

The province has also increased the minimum price for spirits from $2 to $3 per ounce.

Addictions experts had called for higher minimum pricing to reduce health and safety risks to drinkers.

Alliance of Beverage Licensees executive director Jeff Guignard supported the spirit price increase in the interests of public safety, noting a patron previously could have bought five single-ounce shots for $10.

But he said the lower minimum beer pitcher price of $12 against a minimum 20-ounce pint price of $5 may encourage over-drinking and intoxication.

“You’re more likely to start sharing pitchers than you are to buy individual pints,” he said.

Provincial regulations limit a single serving of beer to 24 ounces, so pitchers can’t be ordered by a lone patron.

But Guignard noted it’s harder for a server to track how much patrons are drinking when they’re ordering beer by pitchers instead of glasses.

The new minimums mean little for bars and restaurants that charge higher prices already.

NDP ‘wrong’ on university pay claims Caps exceeded at UFV, VIU and Capilano, says David Eby Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk says the NDP is wrong in its claims that more B.C. universities have paid senior executives more than permitted under salary caps set by the provincial government.

The NDP obtained salary cap details for three universities—Capilano University, the University of the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island University—and said reported compensation paid to 14 executives at the schools exceeded their caps by a total of more than $1.1 million over three years.

Financial disclosures show the three universities paid their presidents between $230,000 and $245,000 in the last year—more in each case than their $225,000 caps, according to the NDP. “What is the point in having caps in the first place if they’re basically meaningless and you’re not going to enforce them?” asked NDP advanced education critic David Eby. The Public Sector Employers’ Council, which enforces the policy, has since refused to disclose pay caps for other B.C. post-secondary institutions, prompting the Opposition to accuse Virk of covering up further violations in the wake of a recent probe of overpayments at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

But in a statement e-mailed by his office, Virk said in a the caps on presidents’ total compensation do not apply to other senior post-secondary executives, who are instead subject to a salary range approved

by PSEC. Those ranges don’t include additional benefits and pension, which he said the NDP mistakenly counted in its calculations, adding about 20 per cent.

Virk also said total compensation for presidents can fluctuate year to year due to higher benefit and pension costs beyond the employer’s control, and due to one-time payments such as unused vacation payouts.

“The critic’s misinter-

ed MLA as a director on the board of Kwantlen, where an investigation found extra $50,000 signing bonuses under the guise of consulting fees were made to the president and vicepresident to circumvent their pay caps.

Virk has admitted he

“What is the point in having caps in the first place?”

— David Eby in line with approved plans.

Virk previously faced calls to resign for his role before being elect-

erred in agreeing to the payments in 2010-12, saying he wasn’t properly informed of the rules.

Virk told Eby in a May 27 letter that the precise caps on public sector pay aren’t made public so they don’t become a negotiating floor on salary when governing boards are in talks to hire new executives.

Eby said continued secrecy around pay caps gives the appearance of a minister unwilling to properly enforce rules that he himself has broken.

He said the situation is a mess because some schools have observed the caps, Kwantlen sought to hide extra payments and others “blatantly” spent more.

Pipeline firm appeals for access in ‘toxic’ dispute Kinder Morgan will ask the National Energy Board for order if necessary

by Jeff Nagel Black Press Kinder Morgan Canada will ask the National Energy Board to force a resistant City of Burnaby to give it access to study a possible tunnel through Burnaby Mountain for its proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline.

President Ian Anderson said the company will also seek formal permission from Burnaby but hopes to secure an order from the NEB within

weeks if the city doesn’t relent.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan has indicated his city won’t cooperate with Kinder Morgan unless it’s forced to do so. The city would have the ability to appeal any NEB order, potentially causing further delay.

“My hope is that we can get the permission of the city,” Anderson said in a media conference call Friday, adding he hopes to repair what has become a “toxic relationship” with Burnaby as quickly as possible.

The company wants to conduct test drilling into the mountain as part of environmental and geotechnical work to assess whether either a bored tunnel or directionally drilled route is possible there that would avoid the need to run the twinned pipeline near homes to the west of the mountain to reach the Westridge Marine Terminal.

Anderson said he prefers a bored tunnel because that could let Kinder Morgan to deactivate the existing section of pipeline approaching the tanker terminal and relocate it through the mountain as well.

He said he wishes the revised route had been pursued sooner, but called

the idea of drilling through Burnaby Mountain an “engineering revelation” that came to project planners as they gained more understanding of the sensitivities along the original route.

A tunnel would drive up the project’s costs, but Anderson could not say by how much.

The proposed route change unveiled this spring prompted the NEB to this month push back a final recommendation on project approval by seven months to allow more time for study.

That will take it to Jan. 25, 2016— past the next federal election—but Anderson said he did not expect the delay to threaten the project.

“I don’t consider the election cycle to be a determinant of the national interest on a project such as ours,” he said, adding the proposed $5.4-billion pipeline would be buffeted by politics regardless.

Anderson said there’s no risk that the delay could unravel the project’s finances or allow oil shippers who have contracted with the expanded pipeline to back out of their commitments.

The company has been under fire from intervenors—including the provincial government and Lower Mainland regional districts—for failing to adequately answer numerous questions they have posed.

Permanent River Road Re-Route Effective August 2014 Between Hollybridge Way and Gilbert Road Vehicle traffic on River Road between Hollybridge Way and Gilbert Road will be permanently diverted to a new route in August 2014. This portion of the road is being permanently closed to allow for the expansion of the City’s waterfront park. Vehicle and pedestrian traffic after this road closure will be re-routed through to the new River Road and the River Road connector just east of Gilbert Road. The dike path along River Road will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists. The map below shows the sections of River Road that will be closed and the new route for diverted traffic.

This project is a key component of the City of Richmond’s City Centre Transportation Plan and supports the planned further development of the Middle Arm Waterfront Park.

As part of the overall City Centre street network improvements, two other area road projects will also be implemented in 2015; Ackroyd Road connecting No.3 Road to Minoru Boulevard and Lansdowne Road connecting Minoru Boulevard with Alderbridge Way. For more information on key road improvements, please refer to (www.richmond. ca/plandev/planning2/ocp/sched2.htm, section 2.3, page 2-27.)

BCLC must pay jackpots to some banned gamblers Court ruling on denied prize payouts limited to 14-month period

by Jeff Nagel Black Press A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled some problem gamblers who had themselves banned from B.C. casinos but managed to keep playing are owed jackpots that were withheld by the B.C. Lottery Corp.

The ruling in the class action lawsuit applies only to jackpots over $10,000 that were won but not paid out between April 2009 and June 2010, because jackpot entitlement rules were not validly enacted during that period.

Justice John Savage ruled the BCLC had “no authority to withhold jackpot prizes” at that time.

The rules were clarified in 2010 when the province amended its Gaming Control Act, and self-excluded gamblers who were refused big payouts after that are out of luck.

The case was led by two problem gamblers on behalf of numerous others who enrolled in the voluntary selfexclusion program yet still lost large amounts at casinos.

Hamidreza Haghdust was denied jackpots totaling $35,000 at casinos in Coquitlam and Vancouver and Michael Lee was refused a payout of more than $42,000 at a community gaming centre in Duncan.

The plaintiffs argued the large prizes should not have been confiscated because BCLC failed to keep them out of the casinos under

the self-exclusion program and was therefore in breach of contract.

The judge did find BCLC was in breach of contract, noting that although Haghdust and Lee knew they were breaking the rules by re-entering casinos to gamble while banned, the lottery corporation was not blameless.

“BCLC is a large quasicorporate entity with a total monopoly over the provision of the very thing with which the plaintiff class struggle,” the judgment says.

“Gamblers are ferried to its facilities and receive loyalty rewards.

a more powerful position.”

BCLC said in a statement it will work with lawyers for the plaintiffs to return jackpots to those who are eligible.

“Overall, the decision validates BCLC’s ability to withhold jackpots as a deterrent for those who are voluntary self-excluded and that the program is being operated effectively,” the Crown corporation said.

It’s not known how many gamblers may now be paid their fiveyear-old winnings.

Lawyers behind the case initially said they were trying to recoup 427 jackpots worth total of up to $1.5 million, but only some of those prizes were withheld

during the initial 14 months after the BCLC introduced its denial of winnings policy in 2009.

While Haghdust was denied big jackpots when he managed to re-enter casinos, he also incurred $200,000 in losses since entering the self-exclusion program in 2006.

More than 8,400 B.C. residents are enrolled in the voluntary selfexclusion program and participants are denied entry or removed from casinos about 700 times each month.

An earlier court ruling found BCLC did not owe damages to a North Delta woman who entered casinos in Surrey and Langley while excluded and lost $78,000.

Mills get break to save energy Province unveils $100 million for struggling industry

by Jeff Nagel Black Press Struggling B.C. pulp mills are being offered $100 million in energy conservation subsidies that Energy Minister Bill Bennett says will pay off through power savings and a stabilized industry.

The three-year initiative will benefit seven thermo-mechanical pulp mills run by Catalyst Paper, Canfor, West Fraser and Paper Excellence, which can get 75 per cent funding for energy-saving projects approved under the new PowerSmart

program for industry.

The companies are huge power users, consuming 10 per cent of the electricity BC Hydro sells, and had warned rate increases of 28 per cent over the next five years could threaten their operations and cost local jobs.

Eligible mills are in Crofton, Port Alberni, Powell River, Taylor, Chetwynd, Port Mellon and Quesnel.

The industry’s challenges cast a long shadow in those towns, where pulp and paper jobs are critical to the local economy, and one of the firms—Catalyst—has been emerg-

ing from bankruptcy protection.

Encouraging reinvestment in power efficiency will mean savings for the companies involved, Bennett said, and will reduce provincial energy demand.

“BC Hydro will not have to spend $265 million on new generation because these four companies are going to conserve that much electricity,” Bennett said.

NDP energy critic Adrian Dix said the province had no other choice but to step in with aid for the industry in light of the dramatic rate increases ahead.

TransLink orders probe of SkyTrain shutdowns Former Toronto transit CEO selected to lead review

by Jeff Nagel Black Press An independent expert review has been ordered into two major SkyTrain shutdowns this month that paralyzed the rapid transit system for more than four hours and damaged public confidence.

Gary McNeil, the retired former CEO of Toronto’s GO Transit commuter rail and bus system, was named Monday to thoroughly review TransLink’s response plan for major service disruptions and identify im-

provements to prevent a recurrence or speed up system recovery.

Dozens of SkyTrain passengers forced open the doors and walked unescorted on elevated guideways during the five-hour shutdown July 21.

It was caused by a blown power breaker during upgrade work, while the previous July 17 incident was triggered by a computer control system failure.

TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis said keeping passengers safe during future disruptions will be a key consider-

ation in the review, because selfevacuations create more delay and risk lives.

He said TransLink has already “learned important lessons” and taken corrective steps based on its own internal review.

“These include plans for mobilizing employees more quickly, better announcements on SkyTrain and a plan to provide better customer support at bus bridges,” he said.

Jarvis said McNeil will begin the review Tuesday and will file his final report at the end of October.

McNeil was involved in the planning, design, construction and startup of the original SkyTrain Expo Line from 1982-86.

Options to be considered through McNeil’s review include changes to existing processes and investment in more backup systems.

TransLink officials previously suggested it would not be justifiable to spend perhaps $30 million on a backup SkyTrain control system that would be rarely used.

The July 21 electrical failure also knocked out SkyTrain’s public announcement system, creating more fear among passengers who were then quicker to force train doors.

The address system is being put

on a separate breaker that won’t be vulnerable in another power failure that halts trains.

TransLink says it will also mobilize more employees faster should there be another major disruption or emergency.

It has also revised its online Trip Planner so it’s easier for SkyTrain passengers to figure out how to take an alternate bus route.

Also pledged is an information campaign on what to do in a shutdown.

TransLink has declared transit service to be free in Metro Vancouver on B.C. Day as a gesture of apology to inconvenienced passengers and their families.

The Fraser River: Backbone of the Lower Mainland

E

arlier this month, the Richmond Chamber Commerce, in partnership with 12 other Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade, released a report titled The Economic Importance of the Lower Fraser River.

The report was commissioned by the Richmond Chamber in early 2013 and led by Dave Park, an independent economist and former Chief Economist for the Vancouver Board of Trade, and Matt Pitcairn, the Manager of Communications and Policy at the Richmond Chamber.

The report highlights the national significance of the Fraser River but also examines the many threats to future sustainability and prosperity for the entire region. The scope is not focused on any specific municipality but rather the entire Lower Fraser River basin stretching from the Strait of Georgia to Hope.

Locally, the City of Richmond does an exemplary job of protecting our community by maintaining a 49 km dike network, 600 km of drainage mains, 39 pump stations, and 320 km of ditches/canals. Just last week the City released a 2014 flood protection update which includes an additional $10 million to be spent on drainage and diking improvements in the coming year, in addition to the $45 million that has been spent since 2008.

“The City of Richmond is a municipal leader in flood management practices but moving forward a longterm, regional approach, supported by senior levels of governments, is essential for our community, and neighbouring communities, to continue to thrive and prosper for generations to come,” said Gerard Edwards, Chair of

the Richmond Chamber of Commerce.

Without a regional, holistic management strategy, and adequate funding, the Lower Fraser River is at risk to potential economic, environmental and social disaster unless senior levels of government start dealing with the long-term management requirements. “With over 300,000 people in the flood plain - and another one million expected to live in the region by 2040 - the risks are too great to ignore,” said the reports Steveston, located at the mouth of the Fraser River, is home to the principal author, Dave largest Small Craft Harbour in Canada.

Physio2U locally owned, operated

P

hysio2U Mobile Physiotherapy Services is a company, founded

by Richmond born and bred sisters, Kim and Tammy Hall.

After establishing her career at Vancouver Coastal Health and gaining extensive experience in acute care, orthopaedics and stroke recovery while working at Richmond Hospital, Kim recognized a gap in provision of in-home, private rehabilitation services. To help fill the void, she created Physio2U in early 2012.

Since then, and with Tammy’s business background as a Chartered Professional Accountant, Physio2U has experienced exponential growth; the team now includes serveral experienced Registered Physiotherapists providing comprehensive physiotherapy services in the comfort of one’s home, retirement residence, hospital, or aquatic facility. Physio2U’s dynamic team allows it to service clients across the Lower Mainland, from West Vancouver to Langley.

Physio2U’s clients’ needs range from those who are busy professionals who’s time is too valuable to be spent navigating traffic, finding parking,

and waiting at a busy clinic, to those who are recovering after a stroke, or jointreplacement surgery and simply cannot make the trip to a clinic, or rely on friends and family for transportation. Treatment is often initiated when clients are still recovering in-hospital, and then continues at home once the client has been discharged. As accidents, strokes, and falls are unpredictable, the Physio2U team is also able to provide resources to clients and their family members for long-term help and solutions. In addition, to help cover the cost of private therapy, Physio2U is able to liase directly with third party providers such as WorkSafe BC and Veterans Affairs Canada.

Unique characteristics of Physio2U services include one hour, one-onone therapy sessions with a focus on relationship-centered care. The Physio2U team of outstanding physiotherapists have earned a reputation of being professional, skilled, as well as friendly and compassionate, allowing Physio2U to carry out its core purpose of Empowering Lives.

Tingle, Chan honoured with Order of B.C. Richmond residents Aubrey Tingle and Tung Chan presented honour at Government House

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Two Richmond residents were among 23 exceptional civic leaders who were recently presented with the Order of British Columbia at Government House.

Aubrey J. Tingle, a researcher in pediatric immunology and viral infections at B.C. Children’s Hospital, and Tung Chan, former CEO of SUCCESS, the Chinese Community Enrichment Services Society, were honoured for their contributions to the community in an investiture ceremony on July 22.

AUBREY TINGLE

TUNG CHAN

Tingle has earned an international reputation for his work, which has transformed health research in B.C. over the past 20 years.

Tingle played a critical role in the creation of the Michael

Smith Foundation for Health Research, which he headed for most of its first decade.

He also founded and led the B.C. Research Institute for Children’s and Women’s Health (now known as the Child and Family Research Institute), which became the biggest and most successful pediatric health research institute in Western Canada.

Tung Chan came to Canada from Hong Kong at the age of 22, struggled to learn English, and waited on tables to put himself through school.

He built a successful career in banking and has given back to the community as a volunteer, philanthropist and community leader.

As one of the first people of Chinese descent to be elected to Vancouver city council, Chan inspired new Canadians to exercise their right to vote.

The former head of SUCCESS, Chan increased its annual budget from $16 million to $35 million while expanding its services to other countries.

Families celebrated the writing and artwork of the famous children’s author Dr. Seuss at Richmond Public Library and Richmond Arts Centre last week.

Children enjoyed Seuss-themed programs at Brighouse library, including Seuss Storytimes and reading buddies and Seuss arts programs.

The library was decorated with huge Seuss houses, Truffula trees and artwork based on Dr. Seuss books—all made by children.

The climax of the week was Thursday, which included the Seusstastic art program, Seuss Family Read Along and Puppet Show, with Mayor Malcolm Brodie as a guest reader.

Children made Cat in the Hat hats, watched a Green Eggs and Ham puppet show and listened as Brodie read Oh, the Places You’ll Go. The Seuss parade capped the event, with children following a decorated book cart around the main floor of the library, waving flags and wearing their Cat in the Hat hats.

“It has been wonderful seeing families excited about literature and art. Some children mentioned that they had made it a goal to borrow and read all the Dr. Seuss books from the library,” said Melanie Au, head of Kids’ Place at Richmond Public Library.

“This is what we want to work towards— building literacy in the community through developing a deep appreciation of literature.”

Approximately 85 people attended the mayor’s reading, and about 200 people participated in events throughout the day.

Holly McNarland plays benefit concert in Steveston

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Canadian singer-songwriter Holly McNarland will perform at the Buck and Ear Bar and Grill next week as a fundraiser for the Steveston Historical Society.

The Toronto-based McNarland, who has a Juno Award and gold and platinum albums under her belt, has been recently writing for other artists and composing her own songs after a break

from performing.

She arrived on the music scene in 1995. Her second album—her major label debut Stuff—earned her a Juno for Best New Solo Artist, and led her on a tour across North America.

The Metis mother of two is now happily an independent artist.

“I love the way things have changed. I don’t want to be signed,” she says on her website.

“I like calling the shots and I’m not really comfortable being told what to do, what to wear, what I can and can’t say in the press.”

Her Steveston concert is Saturday, Aug. 9. Tickets, $25, include a burger and beer. Dinner starts at 6:30 p.m., show at 8 p.m.

All proceeds go to the Steveston Historical Society. Tickets available at the Buck and Ear (12111 3rd Ave.) or by calling 604-781-9266.

Searchand-rescue team to host dinner and dance Tickets available for Sept. 13 event The Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Station 10, is holding its first annual fundraising dinner and dance at the Britannia Shipyards’ seine net loft in September.

Tickets are $75 for the Saturday, Sept. 13 event at 5180 Westwater Dr., with all proceeds going toward search-and-rescue efforts in and around the Fraser River.

The night will include cocktails, a buffet dinner, dancing, a silent auction, a 50/50 draw, and door prizes.

Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue comprise about 1,000 highly-trained members who provide around-the-clock marine search and rescue services for B.C.’s coastal waters, every day of the year.

Many stations, including Richmond’s, have successfully raised funds to purchase and maintain their own search-and-rescue vessels.

Sitting next to Vancouver International Airport, Station 10 plays an integral part in the airport’s emergency plan, while also participating in disaster response plans in the event of an earthquake or flood.

Station 10 was originally known as Unit 7 and was funded by the Steveston Marine Rescue Society when it was founded in 1988 and based in Steveston.

Richmond athlete to carry Canada’s colours

by Don Fennell Sports Editor One of Richmond’s most decorated young fencers has been selected for one of the highest honours that can be bestowed on an athlete.

Dylan French will be Canada’s flag bearer at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games Aug. 16 to 28 in Nanjing, China.

“It’s a great honour and I am very proud to be representing my country at the Youth Olympics,” says French, 17. “When I was younger I would always watch the Olympics and the opening ceremonies, so it is exciting to get this opportunity.”

A member of the locally-based Dynamo Fencing

Club, French, 17, has already compiled an impressive list of athletic accomplishments. But he says this achievement is unique.

“I’m not only representing Canada at an Olympic Games, which has always been one of my ambitions, but carrying the flag as well which I never dreamed of. I can’t wait to get to China to meet the rest of the Canadian athletes.”

Richmond’s only athlete to be named to the Canada team, French will be accompanied to the Games by his Dynamo Fencing Club mentor Victor Gantsevich, who has been selected to the Canadian coaching team.

sports Fencer Dylan French selected to be flag bearer for 2014 Youth Olympic Games From Page 36

The 2014 world cadet fencing bronze medallist, French will be competing in men’s epee at the Games, and possibly the team event as well. He knows the competition will be tough, but hopes to at least medal.

French’s parents are naturally elated for their son.

“It is wonderful to see Dylan get this opportunity,” says John French. “We are always amazed by his dedication, commitment and hard work and it is nice to see this recognized. We are lucky that he has a great coach in Victor (Gantsevich) and a great training environment here in Richmond.”

By coincidence, John French happens

to be president of the B.C. Fencing Association and says having one of its athletes as Canada’s flag bearer is a “huge” boost to the sport.

“A lot of people have put a lot of effort into fencing over the past few years, and we are starting to see an increase in both participation and in athletes winning medals at major events,” he says. “This will help promote the sport even more and hopefully encourage other people to give fencing a try.”

Igor Gantsevich, Victor’s son and formerly an elite-level Canadian fencer before injuries derailed his Olympic dreams, says having a fencer carry Canada’s colours can only be good for the sport.

“It means a lot for our future genera-

Standing tall

tion of athletes. It shows that anything is possible with hard work. Dylan is just as talented as any other kid we have ever had. He is and was ready to work much harder than any other kid,” says Igor, who is now an associate coach at Dynamo Fencing Club and a member of both the Pan American and Canadian Fencing Federation boards.

At the London Olympic Summer Games in 2012, one of Igor’s friends— Mariel Zagunis—was the flag bearer for the U.S. team. He believes that helped precipitate a huge growth in fencing in that country.

“We hope that this honour will have similar impact in Canada and locally in Richmond,” he says.

Named Canada’s flag bearer Monday for the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China, Richmond’s Dylan French, 17, is an already an accomplished fencer.

No. 1 in Nanaimo A team almost exclusively made of Richmond athletes and coaches reached the top of the podium at the recent B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo.

With the addition of Delta’s Evan Willis, the Fraser River Delta Zone 4 boys’ fastball team won gold medals at the Games, edging the favoured Fraser Valley team 7-6 in the championship final.

“The golden moment for the coaches was seeing a group of boys grow into young men, who played with complete support and respect for each other. They put themselves into the record books as the only Zone 4 boys’ fastball team to medal, let alone win the BC Summer Games,” said head coach Bill Merrell.

Pythagoras Academy committed to educational excellence in Richmond Pythagoras Academy is an elite independent school, and the first private non-religious elementary school in Richmond. The school founders believe in bringing classical Renaissance educational values to modern minds, and in championing superb academics alongside an impeccably thorough focus on the arts.

The academy is also strongly connected to the Richmond community, and is always seeking ways to give back.

In September of 2014 Pythagoras Academy will take its commitment to the arts and to the local community to another level: the school will partner up with three of the best fine and performing art institutions in Vancouver in order to provide superb programs to both Pythagoras Academy students as well as children in the city of Richmond.

The After School Music Program will be offered by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra School of Music, the only

music school in North America founded by a major symphony orchestra. In this exclusive collaboration, Pythagoras Academy will afford students of all ages the opportunity to work directly with professional musicians and top-level educators in the fields of classical, jazz and world music.

Students will be able to interact with the orchestra by sitting on the stage with the VSO during rehearsals, and working directly with world-class guest artists who perform with the orchestra.

Most importantly, the students will get the opportunity to be a part of a musical community that celebrates excellence and achievement.

As part of this newly enhanced arts education platform, Goh Ballet Dance Academy, an internationally renowned dance school whose students continually receive enormous worldwide recognition, will offer a special dance curriculum at Pythagoras Academy. By participating in this program,

children will have the opportunity to study dance with instructors that are certified by the Royal Academy of Dance. In addition to building on essential ballet techniques, students will learn about the importance of group interaction, creativity and the joy of self-expression.

No creative curriculum is complete without the visual arts.

To that effect, Arts Umbrella, a non-profit art education centre for children and youth, will facilitate our new After School Visual Arts Program. Arts Umbrella will offer two courses on a weekly basis throughout the 2014/15 school year.

Architecture Meaning and Making class will teach students how to communicate ideas through drawing, and how to then translate those drawings and ideas into threedimensional models. Through model-making, students will be able to learn about the fundamentals of architecture and green technologies.

Drawing & Painting class will be taught by a practicing artist who will employ a variety of materials, techniques and themes in order to give students the tools to express their own creativity. This class will also allow the students to apply their problem solving skills, thereby matching Pythagoras Academy’s philosophy which stipulates that critical thinking and creativity are interdependent, and that the most complete kind of

education nurtures both equally.

Pythagoras Academy is thrilled to be able to offer this new enriched arts curriculum in the 2014/15 school year, and its founders and staff are particularly excited about being able to extend this incredible educational opportunity to not just their own students, but to all Richmond families.

The new arts program is available to all students even if they are not enrolled at Pythagoras Academy.

Don’t miss your chance to give your child a world-class arts

education right in your own community!

Indigenous Games yield golden memories

“There were babies in arms, toddlers and little kids running around, and proud aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmas and grandpas in the stands watching with parents and siblings.

But instead of watching dancers and drummers compete we were watching athletes compete,” said JerrieLynn.

The Games were a “wonderful Olympic-like experience for youth,” she said. The organizers put on an impressive opening ceremonies and the athletes had plenty of opportunity to meet other athletes from across B.C., Canada and the U.S. Said Annie: “My favourite part of the

Games was getting to meet people from different parts of North America.”

On the field, Annie, just 14, showed her great athleticism by playing centrefield in a defensive role instead of her usual positions of first base and pitcher with the Richmond Islanders.

She made a spectacular diving catch in B.C.’s 9-1 opening-game victory over Saskatchewan on July 23.

Offensively, Annie was the lead-off hitter for B.C. “(Coach Joni Frei) said I could slap bunt from the left side to get on base.

And if runners were on base I had to hit from the right side to move them over or hit them in,” explained Annie.

92-93 Islanders top 8 at B.C.’s

In addition to the U16 girls’ softball team’s gold, Team B.C. (500 athletes and coaches) was recognized for its sportsmanship and had the highest medal count in the Games. This is the first time Team B.C. has finished atop the Games, and in doing so becomes the first team in the history of the Games to win both the overall title and John Fletcher Spirit Award—presented to the contingent that best demonstrates the spirit of teamwork, fair play, respect and integrity throughout the week-long competition.

B.C. competed in 13 sports and won 160 medals—63 gold, 49 silver and 48 bronze.

Richmond Islanders knew they were playing against the odds at last weekend’s provincial senior A women’s fastball championship in Victoria. So their eighth-place finish was a satisfying result on the heels of their appearance in the B Division final last year.

Victoria Junior Aces put an end to Richmond’s title hopes Sunday, the local team’s fourth game of the day.

It followed a default win over the Kaos and a 5-2 victory over Victoria’s SVEE in elimination round play.

Only a second-year team, Richmond was automatically elevated to the A Division this year as a result of last year’s success. Their oldest player is only 23 and were a strong contender this year in the Fraser-Delta Women’s Fastball League.

Another tough 7-4 loss to Prince George Zone 8 kicked off the following day’s schedule, setting up a must-win scenario to advance further. The team came up big to score a 3-1 victory over the Thompson Okanagan team, the nucleus of which formed the squad that defeated Richmond at the provincials two weeks earlier.

One of the pivotal plays of the game was a spectacular over-thefence catch by Adam Mogg to prevent a home run.

On July 20, against Fraser Valley Zone 3, came the opportunity to play for gold. Led by the inspiring leadership of Merrick Roberts, the team played loose and adhered to their game. With Evan Willis of Delta standing tall on the mound, they took an early 3-0 lead when Birk Zukowsky (batting over .500 for the weekend) cleared the bases.

The Fraser River Delta Zone 4 team started slowly in their first game against Zone 5 (Vancouver Island) on July 18, but in the second inning No. 4 batter Frazer Black sent the first pitch over the fence for a home run. That solo shot ended up inspiring the rest of the team’s bats and by the fourth inning they ended the game under a mercy rule with Zone 4 winning 12-0.

Three years ago a team of Richmond boys was formed to compete in the 2012 BC Summer Games in softball.

A once in a lifetime opportunity ended with disappointment.

But fast forward a year and it was learned that the B.C. Summer Games was changing the age group for softball to under-16. This meant most of the boys would get another chance at competing for gold.

Sprinter reaches semis at Commonwealth Games Shai-Anne Davis still has 200 and 4x100 races remaining

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Shai-Anne Davis entered the women’s 100 metre competition at the Commonwealth Games with high hopes, but her dreams of medalling came up shy in Monday’s semifinals.

The Richmond athlete, who now trains in Toronto, placed fourth in the third set of heats in a

time of 11.52 seconds, after advancing to the race in 11.72 seconds Sunday.

Davis is the No. 1 ranked female sprinter in Canada, having set a personal best of 11.33 seconds last year in the event.

Davis is still expected to compete in two more events at the Games.

The women’s 200 metres, in which she set a personal best time of 23.12 seconds last year, is

up next. Heats, semifinals and finals are slated to go Wednesday.

Davis is also scheduled to compete in the women’s four-by-100-metre relay which goes this coming Friday and Saturday, Aug. 1 and 2. She was part of a Canadian record performance of 42.99 seconds last year.

REILLY SEVENTH Richmond’s Luke Reilly placed seventh in the men’s 400-metre individual medley swim final Friday in four minutes, 19.72 seconds. He was

third in heats earlier in the day with a time of 4:18.49.

Hirayama leads side to Commonwealth bowl Richmond man overcomes injury bug to power Canada’s rugby sevens

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Nathan Hirayama has always put his heart and soul into playing rugby. His performance last weekend at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland was no exception.

After high hopes among Canada’s rugby sevens were dashed rather quickly following a pair of early losses to powerhouse New Zealand, 39-0 in their opening match Saturday, and to host Scotland, 21-5 later in the day, Hirayama and his mates set about to do the best they could with the remainder of their schedule.

Cast to a different bracket after the setbacks, Canada reeled off four impressive wins in a row to net the bowl championship Sunday with a 50-7 final-game victory over the Cook Islands and finish in ninth place overall.

Richmond’s Hirayama was instrumental in each of the victories. He scored 17 points on a try and six converts to power Canada to its first tournament win, 68-5 over Barbados on Saturday. Then on Sunday, he had 11 points from a try and three converts in a 33-0 win over Trinidad in bowl quarter-final play; converted a single try in a 32-0 semifinal win over Uganda; and then had six points from three converts in the win over Cook Islands.

INDEX IN BRIEF FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS ...............1-8 COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS ...9-57 TRAVEL.............................................61-76 CHILDREN ........................................80-98

Prior to attending the Games, Hirayama, 26, had said the team was hoping for a medal after Canada’s sixth-place finish on the international sevens circuit. But he anticipated the going would be tough in Glasgow, expecting particularly challenging matches with the likes of New Zealand and even Scotland playing in front of an anxious home crowd.

Coming off an injury-plagued season, Hirayama proved he still has plenty to offer.

“I’m really proud to have played for Canada for eight years now and I still think I have a few left,” he said. “I’m definitely now one of the more experienced guys on the team and it’s something I take pride in. I want to be one of the leaders.”

Though he comes by his talent naturally—his dad Garry played for Canada in the 1980s—Hirayama has never walked in anyone’s shadow. He was just 18 years old when he first suited up for Canada internationally and has always demonstrated an insatiable appetite to succeed.

“I don’t feel any pressure to live up to anything,” he says. “My mom and dad have always supported me in sport and I’m very thankful for that. They’ve never cared one way or another what sport I was involved in just as long as I was active. I’m proud of my own accomplishments and I think they are too.”

City lawyer Kevin Westell argued before Judge Dennis Schmidt that the court didn’t have the power to grant an interim release of the dogs before a scheduled hearing on April 10 at Richmond provincial court.

Fearing for the welfare of their pets, after learning they hadn’t been walked in months and had ballooned in weight, owner Nav Nijjer and his mother Prabjot Nijjer sought to have the court intervene and release the dogs prior to the court hearing.

But it wasn’t all bad news for the Nijjer family, who have seen a significant improvement in the health of their pets, Axel and Paris.

They appear to have lost between 10 and 15 pounds each in the past couple of weeks, are being walked daily, and are out in the yard

for a few hours each day, according to lawyer Joe Peschisolido, whose fi firm has been hired by the family after the City of Richmond applied to have the dogs destroyed.

The Richmond Review revealed two weeks ago that volunteers and staff ff at the Richmond Animal Protection Society were barred from walking the seized dogs, which have been labelled as dangerous by the city. A society policy had prohibited anyone from walking dangerous dogs, which under normal circumstances would have been seized for a maximum of 21 days.

Since they were seized on Oct. 25, following a minor biting incident involving a construction worker who suff ffered a dime-sized contusion to his upper thigh, the dogs have gained an estimated 25 pounds each.

The extra exercise, along with a cha ang ge to their diet, has resulted in a notable up ptic ck in their health, Peschisolido said.

The Nijjers are hoping their pets willl be re turned and have built an enclosure th hey say ensures that the dogs never escape ag gain n.

The enclosure was inspected by anim mal be haviour specialist Dr. Rebecca Ledge er, who noted there are now three fences—ea ach “at least five feet tall, robust and well-cons stru ucted”—between the Nijjer’s yard and the e ad dja acent Henry Anderson Elementary Scho ool.

“These fences prevent school children n from looking into your yard to see the dogs,, and also prevent the dogs from seeing out or coming within 20 feet of the property line,” Led dger wrote.

ver a week of wonderful workshops and fantastic films came to an end as Your Kontinent, Cinevolution’s annual film and media arts festival, came to a close last Saturday with Digital Carnival at Minoru Plaza.

The festival, which ran from July 17 to 26, featured a number of components including film screenings, discussions, Theatre Under the Sky, workshops, art in container installations and the popular Screen Bites programs.

The Screen Bites programs work by “com-

bining food and film,” said Yun-Jou Chang, managing director of Cinevolution.

There has traditionally been a dim sum movie screening at the festival each year, but this year they added a food and film day at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery.

“I think people really enjoyed it,” Chang said.

Your Kontinent aims to bring people together through film and media arts.

Part of the goal of the festival is to promote

community and community building, according to Chang.

Digital Carnival was the last big event of the festival this year.

“Digital Carnival is the one thing we do that no one else in Richmond does,” Chang said.

The outdoor concert and light show featured a variety of musicians as well as media artists throughout the night.
