Council keeping Mounties

Municipal force idea nixed, regional force considered GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter

GWOOD@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

R

ichmond will not establish a municipal police force and the Red Serge will continue to feature prominently in and around Richmond — at least for the near future.

That’s because, although a recent round of public consultation showed Richmondites generally favour the RCMP over an independent municipal police force, Richmond city council has decided to spearhead a call to form a regional police force.

The city will now invite regional RCMP cities to discussions on establishing such a force.

The decision came Monday after council was presented with a public consultation

report on its Police Services Review that indicated the public expressed inquiries about establishing a regional police force.

In the meantime, the $20 million estimated price tag for transitioning to a municipal force — as well as higher annual operating costs — combined with the fact there didn’t appear to be enough cause for change, meant 59 per cent of decided residents surveyed chose to keep the RCMP, despite general consensus that a municipal force could provide better community policing.

“Ultimately the clear preference we heard from citizens was to maintain the RCMP,” said Anna Lilly, a lead consultant for Fleishman Hillard, which oversaw the public consultation process.

Council was split on whether or not the consultation process was adequate. Lilly

noted many residents felt they were not educated enough on the subject, while several others questioned the impetus for council to undertake the consultation process, estimated to cost $150,000.

“Those comments came through quite significantly,” said Lilly.

On several occasions during a special public committee meeting on Monday, councillors revealed there was information — including a special report on policing — that was not made publicly available, but which could have explained why council was looking at making a change.

Coun. Ken Johnston said “a lot of this goes back years” and there are “things we can’t talk about.”

NEWSin the City Wiggin’ it for the kids Student, 6, wanted to help children’s charity Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

W

hat do you need 12 of to make one?

That was the question posed Monday morning to students, teaching staff and parents at Lord Byng elementary in Steveston, as six children and three adults were poised to have their long hair cut for a very good cause.

The answer — as far as Richmond-based Wigs for Kids BC is concerned — was that it takes a dozen ponytails to make one wig for custom-made human-hair wigs for children and teens at BC Children’s Hospital, who have suffered hair loss due to cancer treatment or other serious illnesses.

The event in front of the entire school populace also raised more than $500 for Wigs for Kids, with Grade 1 student Jenna Baier managing to pull in an impressive $450.

Jenna’s efforts weren’t surprising, given that it was her idea in the first place to organize the event.

“About a year ago, Jenna heard of some children she knew doing this and decided there and then she wanted to organize an event,” said her mom, Sheila Baier.

“She’s been growing her hair like, forever;

she’s only had trims up until now.”

But was she excited ahead of Monday morning? “Oh yes. She was up at 6 a.m. on Sunday, in my bedroom saying ‘tomorrow is the day,’” said her mom.

Baier said, on Jenna’s request, she contacted Wigs for Kids and met with them and it went from there.

As well as help from the school, professional hair stylists — Shari Rogers and Dina Reynolds — offered their services free of charge.

A volunteer-run organization, Wigs for Kids BC also helps families pay for medications and supplies that are essential for treatment but not covered by their medical plan.

ew Coast Realty, a Richmond-based real estate firm, has had a number of conditions placed on it by the Real Estate Council of BC, after a Globe and Mail investigation indicated its clients’ best interests were not being served.

“Licence conditions have been issued by the Real Estate Council of BC (RECBC) for New Coast Realty to ensure the brokerage complies with the Real Estate Act and to establish appropriate oversight of the brokerage,” said RECBC in a statement, last Friday.

A three-month investigation by Globe reporter Kathy Tomlinson revealed some real estate agents have been engaging in a practice known as “shadow flipping,” whereby an agent resells a property for a higher price before the initial deal is closed.

The process gives agents extra commissions and effectively bilks money from the original homeowner.

It’s a legal loophole the provincial government promises will be soon closed.

After Friday’s announcement, the Globe released training session audio tapes of

reports to the council on any in-house transactions and quarterly audits will be conducted. The council will also track all offers received for a property listed by New Coast.

The council noted that there are a “significant” number of buyers and sellers with transactions in progress with New Coast who will have to remain with the firm as they have contractual obligations to fulfill.

The council has asked any sellers with concerns about transactions at New Coast to contact RECBC by email at info@recbc. ca or by phone at 604-683-9664.

Despite a record-shattering 2015 for residential property values, there appears to be no slowing down of the real estate market in Metro Vancouver.

“March was the highest selling month the REBGV has ever recorded,” said Dan Morrison, president of REBGV. Richmond’s benchmark price for a detached home is now $1.4 million, up 31 per cent since last year. The median selling price is now $1.66 million.

Homes on larger lots and along arterial roads sell for much more. The average townhouse now costs $632,000, while apartments are in the $404,000 range.

Only Vancouver and North Vancouver have higher property values than Richmond.

Chess champion, 10, ready for mind games ALANCAMPBELL Staff Reporter

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

magine playing a game of chess for four hours non-stop, breaking only to use the washroom.

That’s the world that 10-year-old Sherry Tian lives in, a B.C. chess champion, who’s been beating adult women players and will be representing the province in the U.S.A.’s most prestigious girls chess tournament, the 13th Annual Susan Polgar Foundation Girls’ Invitational (SPFGI) in St. Loius this July.

Last year, the Grade 5 DeBeck elementary student finished fourth in her age group in Canada and showed up well in the World Championships in Greece.

And a couple of weeks after the marathon four-hour match in Victoria — when she beat a Grade 8 boy — Sherry became the first ever B.C. player to qualify from the province for the

Susan Polgar (Canadians have been excluded in the past) when she won the U-19 section.

“It was a little bit of a surprise,” said Sherry, modestly, who’s only been playing the game for two years.

Now ranked number one in B.C., her rapid rise to the top of the game in the province is less of a surprise for her father, Alex Tian, who recalled how his daughter’s Grade 2 teacher noticed she had a talent for math, before placing her on an accelerated math program.

“We then asked her to try chess and she proved to be very, very fast at the game,” said Alex, who brought his family, including wife Nicole Zhao, from Beijing in 2008 to live in their single-family home on Ash Street. The couple had another daughter, Eliza, five years ago.

“She then rose up the ratings very quickly with the (Chess and Math Association) and she has a rating of 1,352 with the (Canadian Federation of Chess).”

At a rating of 1,800, you can be considered a chess master, said Alex, a construction project manager.

Of the longest match of her short career in Victoria last month, Sherry said she was “very tired” at the end of it, as players are not allowed to eat in that time and very little communication is allowed with your opponent.

St. Loius, she said, will be “the biggest challenge yet; I’m looking forward to it, though.”

Alex said, in the beginning, he taught

Sherry a little, but “after that, she just got on with it herself.”

“She beat me fair and square after about two months of playing. I was so happy for her, but kind of sad, for me,” he laughed, noting that he has won a parent and child game at the school once, but that’s it.

As well as playing chess online every day for about two hours, Sherry, who is doing Grade 7 math, is about to take her level 8 piano test and writes short mystery novels.

604-241-0707 n Developer Tien Sher Homes has a plan to turn the clock back along Chatam Street, Steveston to the style of the 1890s. Rendering submitted Graeme Wood

tage Commission, was unanimously approved by city councillors on Monday, but must still go to a public hearing.

Coun. Carol Day said it would be a large building for Chatham, but she was “pleased by the style,” while Coun. Linda McPhail said it reflects the overall heritage of Steveston.

The initial plan had developer Tien Sher Homes placing solar panels on the roof, but that idea was scrapped due to economics.

This was the only sore point for Coun.

Harold Steves.

“When we have the opportunity to go solar, we should,” said Steves, who suggested using money from community amenity fees to pay for panels.

The Chatham building will, nevertheless, feature a large rooftop garden.

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

A

proposed three-storey development on Chatham Street is said to harken back to Steveston at the turn of the 20th century.

The 12-metre-high building references the overall heritage character of Steveston in the 1890s, according to a city planner’s report to Richmond city council. It will feature commercial retail shops on the street level and two additional floors for 16 condo units.

The structure, if built, will replace four detached homes and rest between the former Steveston Methodist Church (now Richmond Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Shop) on Second Avenue and a medical office on First Avenue.

LETTERSto the Editor Why do our taxes keep rising?

Dear Editor, Why don’t our property taxes go down each year?

Our developed land area isn’t getting bigger, we aren’t building new roads and infrastructure.

We require developers to pay for their utility connections and road improvements.

We charge development cost charges (DCCs) to developers.

So our costs of maintenance and administration shouldn’t be growing more than inflation, which is near zero.

Yet we are adding many new taxpayers each year, so that relatively fixed administration should be spread over more taxpayers, resulting in a declining tax bill for each of us?

Please plan transit for tomorrow's seniors Dear Editor, I have recently stopped driving because of my age and the chaotic traffic we are experiencing in Richmond.

Taking the buses to shop and visit the seniors centre has been quite pleasant — the bus drivers are friendly and the Compass system works well. However, I have noted that to get to the seniors centre I have to walk at least half a mile, no matter which bus I take.

I am quite able to do that but I wonder about the growing popula-

This is the time that the Seniors Advisory Council should be petitioning transit authorities for better service, so that seniors will be able to get to the new facility.

Not to plan ahead would be like swallowing an ox and choking on the tail!

Now is the time that seniors should be calling Richmond’s Seniors Advisory Committee and asking for a special seniors’ bus that could be at certain points on a grid that could connect with the bus that is closest to them and for which the Compass card could

be used, as well. Surely, the city has learned something from the dismal situation where thousands of houses have been destroyed in Richmond in the last five years?

It’s too late to bring in legislation to deal with the wreckage here, as there appears to have been no attempt to recycle any material.

However, hopefully, the powers that be will not wait until the new facilities are built at Minoru to start planning for more and better transportation.

tion of seniors, many of whom would not be able to walk that distance.

The only bus that stops near the centre on Granville is the Railway 110. A number of seniors get the Handy Dart, but it has to be ordered a day ahead at least, it is more expensive than the regular bus fares and there are long waits when it is ordered.

I read that the city is planning to spend $80 million on new structures at Minoru Park, of which a large amount is to be spent on a new seniors centre.

W

hile the B.C. government was willing to hold a referendum last May to hike the PST by 0.5 per cent to raise roughly $3 billion for the first 10 years of the transit plan outlined by the region’s mayors, there’s no referendum for the $3.5 billion George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project.

Here we are spending almost the exact same amount the PST increase would have raised, except we aren’t getting a referendum, nor will municipal governments have much in the way of input.

The bridge is far from efficient spending. It isn’t even a transit priority. Here’s what the Mayors’ Transportation and Transit Plan would get us for the same amount: Double the peak capacity of the Expo Line, which sees 200,000 riders a day; increase the frequency of the Canada Line; create 2,700 km of bikeways; maintain major road networks and reduce congestion by 20 per cent along most major roads.

Compared to the George Massey Tunnel, which sees 80,000 vehicles a day and a peak of 8,000 vehicles per hour, the best choice is

clearly the Mayors’ Transportation and Transit Plan. One of the greater ironies is from the December 2015 George Massey Tunnel fact sheet, which stated that the bridge would meet modern seismic standards.

“Building a tunnel to the same required standards is a much more costly, complex and environmentally invasive process, involving river-bottom dredging and bringing in layers of sand, gravel and loose stone to reinforce the earth onshore and in the Fraser River below the water.”

It’s ironic because meeting modern seismic standards is far from their priority for a lot of our public infrastructure.

It’s strange and greatly insulting that the B.C. government is forcing hospitals, schools and other important public institutes to beg for money or scrape together whatever they can by any means possible to meet modern seismic standards, while, at the same time, they’re prioritizing a “costly, complex and environmentally invasive process” to achieve seismic standards for a bridge?

A financially prudent idea would be to spend the $2.2 billion requested by Metro Vancouver school districts to upgrade 128 schools at risk for major seismic instability.

It’s quite ironic that the Minister of Transportation, Todd Stone, said that the project is be-

ing driven from a place of safety. The choice to prioritize spending to make the bridge seismically sound and safe while these schools packed with tens of thousands of students are at serious risk raises a lot of questions.

Moreover, the $3.5 billion is being spent on a project that is far from transparent. It lacks the input that the Mayor’s Transportation and Transit Plan had.

The most phenomenal and mind-boggling part is that we’re spending our money to replace an already existing tunnel while leaving our transit insufficiently funded and our public institutions cash-strapped.

Freedom of information requests from Coun.

Harold Steves about the pros and cons of upgrading the tunnel instead of replacing it, have resulted in no records being located. How is that possible?

How can you make a $3.5 billion decision with no record?

Our population is going to double, but our road size cannot double with it.

It’s time we make a decision regarding what we want to invest in. My answer is clearly public transit.

IMPORTANT PUBLIC NOTICE

Film urges kids to ditch phones Philip Raphael

Staff Reporter

praphael@richmond-news.com

A

Richmond husband and wife duo are bringing their vision for a fantasy musical to the silver screen that urges youngsters to put down their cellphones and gaming controls to discover what it’s like to be kids again.

Terry Wolfe and Marlene Dixon shot and produced Kids from Camelot, an independent film, in and around New York’s Spanish Harlem, then enlisted the talent from Richmond Youth Honour Choir to pose as kids finding it hard to break the addiction of their electronic devices.

They travel back in time to Camelot to find out if an old sword in their storage locker is really King Arthur’s long lost Excalibur.

During their journey, the youngsters discover what childhood should be about and start a revolution against TV and cell phone addicts.

The idea for the story started back in the mid-1980s when Wolfe was a lawyer.

Originally, he set it in Montreal. And later the premise drew the interest of

producers looking for a live entertainment matinee at the Excalibur hotel in Las Vegas.

Wolfe said it was a milliondollar deal he walked away from, because the logistics of running a daily show with a young cast was problematic.

Undeterred, he continued with his law practice while still harbouring dreams of getting into show business.

And it came to fruition a decade later when he retired.

That’s when he and Dixon, a long-time publicist for the Arts Club Theatre in Vancouver, collaborated in 2008 to produce their first indie flick Elvis, Mozart and Me. According to IMDb (Inter-

City of Richmond

net Movie Database), it’s a zany, romantic musical comedy about a retired lawyer trying to persuade his wife to invest in a low-budget movie.

“That was an experiment that taught me the pitfalls of making an ultra-low budget feature film,” Wolfe said. “... I licked my wounds for a year, all the while thinking that I should go back to a story that brought a milliondollar offer.”

For the past four years, the couple has worked on Kids From Camelot. For tickets to its April 23 premiere at the Van City Festival Theatre, email TerryWolfe@hotmail. com or call 604-241-7303.

How big an influence is art?

C

an art end poverty? Can it influence public transportation, make a greener planet or alleviate hunger?

For artists whose work is about collaborating with the community to effect social change, the answer is yes.

Find out how the arts can change the world when Michael Rohd, founder of the Center for Performance and Civic Practice (Evanston, Illinois) presents his talk “The Arts as Civic Practice: Listening is the New Revolution” on Thursday, April 21 at 7 p.m., when Richmond’s annual Lulu Series: Art in the City program hosts the second of three free lectures at Richmond City Hall.

As many places have discovered, the arts are a potent tool for impact and collaboration.

Rohd, recipient in 2015 of both the Otto Rene Castillo Award for Political Theatre and the Robert Gard Foundation Award for Excellence, will offer insights into using the assets and experiences of artists to work with community and civic organizations to build healthier communities.

He recently developed and led projects with, and for, Americans for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, Steppenwolf Theater and Catholic Charities USA. Rohd’s presentation is the second of three events in the Lulu Series: Art in the City program. The last one will be on Thursday, May 19, when visual artist, Norie Sato, (Seattle, Washington) will describe her creative process developing site-specific works for public places. For more information, Richmond.ca/LuluSeries.

All Lulu Series: Art in the City events are free and start at 7 p.m. at Richmond City Hall Council Chambers, 6911 No. 3 Road. Reserve your seats by emailing Lulu@Richmond.ca.

Fun farce delivers at Gateway MATTHOEKSTRA

Contributor

M

arc Camoletti wrote 40 plays in his lifetime, despite waiting until age 35 to pen his first.

Theatres around the world have mounted countless productions of the late Parisian playwright’s work, including his most famous play, Boeing-Boeing.

And then there’s Don’t Dress For Dinner.

One needn’t know the entire Camoletti canon to appreciate it.

This theatrical bedroom farce is so cleverly written, it’s bound to leave directors salivating.

But all that saliva can easily muddy a challenging, fastpaced play.

Last Friday, Don’t Dress For Dinner opened at Gateway Theatre under the direction of Ashlie Corcoran and Heather Cant.

Thankfully, both have full control of their salivary glands, delivering a superb production that offers much to appreciate.

The story begins in the Paris home of Bernard (Todd Thomson) and Jacqueline (Alison Deon). Bernard has planned a weekend with his mistress, Suzanne (Krista Colosimo), while his wife is away.

Bernard’s plans should be foolproof — a personal chef is booked to prepare a gourmet dinner, and his friend Robert (Kirk Smith) is also set to arrive as an alibi.

Confusion quickly sets in, as Jacqueline cancels her plans upon hearing Robert — her secret lover — is coming over.

A series of mix-ups forces the chef to pretend she’s a mistress, then someone’s niece.

The real mistress becomes the chef, but can’t cook.

Alibis are changed and traded.

All this chaos and physical comedy demands precise timing, and this cast delivers with enthusiasm.

n Don’t Dress for Dinner successfully pulls off bedroom plot twists and slamming doors. Photo submitted

A skillful and quick Tess Degenstein is a standout as a chef easily bribed to participate in dishing phoney baloney.

As Bernard, an energetic Thomson proves a worthy anchor throughout, even turning the unexpected on opening night — a broken doorknob — into a laugh-outloud moment.

Deon’s Jacqueline is equally entertaining and Smith, as Robert, deftly delivers lines that would leave most tongue-tied.

Opening night had a quiet beginning — some voices were hard to hear — but that soon changed.

Camoletti’s ample number of door-slamming surprises coupled with sharp direction makes for a fun and entertaining two-hour farce.

It’s satisfying throughout, even if you can’t keep up.

Don’t Dress For Dinner runs until April 23 on Gateway Theatre’s MainStage. Tickets, $20 to $45, at GatewayTheatre.com or 604-270-1812.

Meredith Willson’s The Music Man will come to life on the MainStage in December as the Richmond theatre’s popular holiday musical. Announced at the theatre Friday, the show is one of six plays featured in Gateway’s 2016-2017 season.

Gateway first produced the Broadway classic about a charming con man and his 76 trombones in 1985 — the theatre’s second year.

Gateway artistic director Jovanni Sy was on stage in Vancouver Friday, but said in a news release he’s bringing together some of the best theatre artists in Metro Vancouver and from across the country for the upcoming season.

Dramatic debut for writer-director Philip Raphael

Staff Reporter praphael@richmond-news.com

D

avid Volpov admits he’s not sure just how he’ll feel when the curtain goes up on opening night next Monday (April

18).

Nervous? Confident?

Neither seem to fit quite right for the Grade 12 drama club member at Steveston-London secondary.

Of all the words that might, he settles on proud. That’s because not only will he be directing the production Ten Years Later, he wrote it, too.

It’s an opportunity bestowed on just a handful of students in the program led by drama teacher Jean Kosar, who said Volpov has been a shining light since he first set foot on the school stage back in Grade 8.

“If they are a very devoted member of the drama club, if their life sort of revolves around the theatre, are always pushing themselves to go further, and, of course, can come up with a script — that’s huge,” Kosar said.

Volpov, who is 18 and plans on attending UBC next year, said he spent part of last summer writing the script that includes roles for every drama club member.

He started the process by asking his fellow actors what they would like to perform. They told him diverse characters and a relatable story. The result is a tale about a 10-year reunion of students who were part of the fictional drama club at Matthew McBoyd school. Their gathering leads to recalling a past chock-full of triumphs, romances and, ultimately, what is billed as a shocking and violent climax.

“All of their insecurities and regrets

about high school and the drama club really unravel to the point where they don’t know who to trust,” Volpov said, adding that after several revisions he was ready to turn the script over to the actors.

Authentic Neapolitan pizza is served fresh from the oven at BiBo, a new addition to McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Vancouver Airport. Pasta is also hand-made on a daily basis (below).

Taste a little bit of Italy at BiBo

M

any restaurants can claim to have authentic dishes that stay true to their origins.

But when one serves up dishes that include the best of old world ingredients, combined with the utmost from the local region, you have the best of both.

BiBo Italian Pizzeria and Restaurant accomplishes that.

And it’s close by for Richmond food lovers to discover.

Built on the reputation of Bibo’s original Kitsilano location, a second BiBo opened late last October at the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Vancouver Airport not far from the main terminal on Sea Island. And since then, the 80-seat location has been delighting guests with its

menu that includes Neapolitan pizzas that are cooked in a traditional oven, and fresh pasta which is made daily on the premises.

“We convey what people can experience in Italy,” said Emiliano Re, general manager of the BiBo at the outlet mall. “We have traditional, good food made from easy, uncomplicated recipes that are enhanced by the quality of the ingredients.

“That’s what we do in Italy.

That way, you experience the food through the ingredients which we bring in as much as we can directly from Italy.”

While the produce on the menu features the best avail-

able from the Lower Mainland region, the speciality items that give BiBo its authentic taste come from cheese and cured meats that go into the pizzas and other dishes.

“It’s ingredients like the burrata we use,” Re said, referring to the imported fresh cheese made from mozzarella and cream.

Fresh and authentic is on the menu From page 20 The outer layer of the cheese is solid mozzarella, while the inside contains both mozzarella and cream, giving it an unusual, soft texture.

“Plus, we have buffalo mozzarella,” he added.

All of the imported products in BiBo’s kitchen subscribe to the European Union’s PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) which guarantees the quality and names of agricultural products and protects the consumer from being mislead by non-genuine products which may be of inferior quality or of different aavour.

It all adds up to an Italian dining experience unlike any other.

“You can buy some ingredients from here (B.C.) that are similar, but in the end the results will not be the same,” Re said. “We pride ourselves in delivering fresh products that adhere to the highest Italian standards. That sets us apart.”

The speciality at BiBo is the 12-inch, Neapolitan style pizza with its wide crust at the edges and fresh toppings at the centre.

“Authenticity is a word that gets thrown around a lot,” Re said. “But from my experience, when you ask what types of ingredients a restaurant uses, you can come away being disappointed. That doesn’t happen here.

“You get the genuine thing here and that makes all the difference.”

The pizzas come fresh from BiBo’s oven that was made in Verona in northern Italy. With a cooking temperature of 350

degrees, it takes just under two minutes to be ready to serve.

“It’s really fast because the pizza has to cook as fast as possible so it can stay moist inside,” Re said. “If you cook it for a longer time at a lower temperature you are going to get a dry product.”

Popular is the margherita pizza, which is topped with tomato, mozzarella and basil, which is said to have been brst developed in 1889 to mark the visit of Italy’s Queen Margherita to the city of Naples.

Other favourites include spicy salami and the crudo, which features fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, Parma prosciutto, arugula and Parmigiano Reggiano.

Also on the menu is fresh spaghetti and gnocchi that is served with sausage made in-house and Italian-grown porcini mushrooms.

“Sometimes, the customers don’t expect to have fresh made pasta. And they are

pleasantly surprised when they experience the difference over dry, off the grocery shelf pasta,” Re said.

Complimenting the food menu is an extensive list of drinks including BiBo’s own house wines.

Locating at the mall was a simple decision since the ownership of BiBo was already very familiar with McArthurGlen’s mall property not far from Milan.

“I also know McArthurGlen very well. I am originally from that area, as well, and know it’s a very successful company,” Re said, adding BiBo will be adding to the mall’s vibrant streetscape by setting up an outdoor patio section that will add another 20 seats.

“Come June, that will be a very nice area to sit and enjoy some bne food from BiBo,” he said.

SPORTS Beyond the Scores

Keeper having a ball with other passion Mark Booth

Sports Editor mbooth@richmond-news.com

D

aniel Judkowicz wants nothing more than to back-stop Richmond United into the Provincial “A” Cup Championships even though he won’t be available for the showcase tournament.

The talented goalkeeper helped his upstart 1999 Metro team pull off a 3-2 quarter-final upset in penalty kicks over 1998 United in an all-Richmond U18 Coastal “A” Cup quarter-final match-up Saturday at Hugh Boyd. The result puts the 1999s significantly closer to returning to the provincials in early July.

That’s when Judkowicz’s other passion is taking him to England.

The Grade 10 student at McRoberts Secondary will be in Team Canada colours at the World Junior Ball Hockey Championships in Sheffield. He earned a spot on the Canadian roster after having a leading role for the gold medal winning U15 West Coast Wolverines at the 2015 Nationals in Newfoundland.

The selection process also factored in his play at the Western Cup Challenge last summer. He will be joined by his Richmond/ South Delta Ball Hockey Association teammate Thomas van Veenendal.

“I remember going to (the B.C. team) tryouts and not expecting much,” recalled Judkowicz. “It didn’t take long to realize we were some of the better players and we actually had a shot at making it. Then we played our hardest at nationals and won. I just never expected to be on Team Canada one day.

“At the beginning of the soccer season, one of the first things I

did was check the schedule and realized Team Canada would be going at the same time. I feel bad for (potentially) abandoning them but we already have contacted someone to come in.

“This opportunity is like a dream come true. I just played ball hockey for fun and never thought this could happen.”

Judkowicz participated in the long-running Richmond Cosom Hockey League when he was encouraged to try ball hockey in the spring as well. He initially continued to play in net until a serious condition prevented him from bending his knees and kept him sidelined for six months.

When he did return to the arena, he switched to playing defense and has never looked back. His athleticism allows him to be a twoway standout and his leadership is evident too. He has been a captain or assistant on every team he has played for in the past six years.

“When you are playing goalie, there are just some things you can’t control compared to a player,” continued Judkowicz. “I also like to have that leadership role and I’m always talking to my teammates.”

Judkowicz nearly quit soccer a couple of seasons ago until being encouraged to age up and try out for the Richmond 1999 Metro team. He not only made the roster but also serves as a mentor for the Richmond FC, initially as a volunteer and now as a part-time paid position, assisting with training sessions once a week.

He also works in sales at a Richmond soccer store which is helping pay for the opportunity to play for Canada. The estimated cost of the trip is $3,100, with the national team program receiving little in the way of funding.

■ Daniel Judkowicz comes up with a key stop during his team’s big Coastal Cup quarter-final win on Saturday

in an all-Richmond United U18 match-up. The Grade 10 McRoberts student will also be playing for Canada this summer at the World Junior Ball Hockey Championships in England. Photo by Mark Booth When he is not playing sports or working, Judkowicz also volunteers as an assistant coach for Richmond/South Delta Ball Hockey, as well as at the Ladner Leisure Centre, for his potential interest of becoming a lifeguard one day.

For now, his focus is helping his soccer team continue its unexpected march in the Coastal Cup playdowns.

Typically the U18 Division is dominated by the second-year teams, however, Richmond has now knocked off two of them and

will be looking for another victory Saturday against Coquitlam Metro Ford in the semi-finals.

“When I first came to tryouts (a couple of years ago), it didn’t take me long to realize I could win something with this team. It’s a great group of players.”

Corner kicks…

Three other Richmond teams also remain in the Coastal Cup playdowns.

U13 Rangers are off to the “B” Cup semi-finals after their thrilling 4-3 home field win over Surrey

United. Richmond will travel to Abbotsford this weekend to take on the AMF Lightning.

On the girls side, the U18 Ravens have advanced to the “B” Cup final four with an impressive 4-0 win over North Coquitlam. The Ravens will host Surrey FC Tigers on Sunday (11 a.m.) at Hugh Boyd.

In girls “A” Cup play, U15 Richmond FC will face Surrey United Guildford in the semi-finals thanks to a 1-0 win over Vancouver FC last Sunday.

Richmond blueliner celebrates 22nd birthday with NCAA title

I

t proved to be quite the birthday bash for Troy Stecher.

The smooth-skating Richmond Minor Hockey almuni turned 22 on Thursday and proceeded to help the University of North Dakota win their first NCAA championship in 16 years.

The Fighting Hawks capped a memorable campaign with a 5-1 win over Quinnipiac on Saturday in Tampa. It was their third straight trip to the Frozen Four and the program’s eight national title.

Stecher was also named a Second Team West All-American. He was North Dakota’s top scoring defenseman with eight goals and

21 assists in 42 games, to go along with a plus-23 rating. His 29 points was a career high and tied him for sixth place in the nation among blueliners. He became the first North Dakota defenseman to earn All-American honours in five years.

The NCAA championship is the latest accomplishment in Stecher’s decorated career that began with being part of a talented 1994 age group coming through Richmond Minor.

His last game in a Blues uniform was the Bantam Tier One provincial championship game when Richmond fell to Abbotsford.

That team featured several players who went on to play in the Western and B.C. Junior

Hockey Leagues.

Stecher then played a year of Major Midget with the Greater Vancouver Canadians where he earned team MVP honours and impressively jumped to the BC Hockey League where he enjoyed three outstanding seasons with the powerhouse Penticton Vees.

It was highlighted but the 2011-12 campaign when Penticton captured RBC national junior “A” championship and Stecher was named the Top Defenseman of the playoffs with 15 points in 26 games.

A year later, he was team captain and honoured as the Top Defenseman in the BCHL’s Interior Conference. Stecher also

twice played for Canada West at the World Junior Challenge.

He originally was taking his colligate career to the University of Nebraska but later decommitted and agreed to a full-ride scholarship offer from North Dakota after visiting University of Western Michigan as well.

Having been passed over in the NHL Draft, Stecher is considered one of college hockey’s top free agents and is expected to generate interest from a number of NHL teams, including the Vancouver Canucks.

The pending offers will impact a difficult decision on whether he returns to North Dakota for his senior season.
