T

he Garden City Lands park may very soon, partially, open up to the public.

Construction work has been continuing apace this spring on the 52-hectare (136 acre) park’s perimeter pedestrian and bike trails.

And with the majority of the 2.9-kilometre, twinned trail expected to be completed by the middle of the summer, the public could be invited to sample the new-look lands before Labour Day. According to a report which went before city council on Monday night, the inaugural Harvest Festival is also being planned for the park on Saturday, Sept. 30, which

The trails being finished off are reported to be suitable for all pedestrians and wheeled devices, including mobility aids.

However, when the public is welcomed onto the lands later this year, much of it will still be restricted due to the land still being a conservation area.

Beginning in the fall, the city will start to plant more than 1,300 trees, compromising of mostly native conifer and deciduous species, as well as some fruit-bearing trees, which could be part of a proposed orchard.

Last year, the city kicked off the multimillion dollar park design that, in part, aims to preserve the natural bog by way of ecosystem engineering.

Other early public programs for the $6.4 million GCL (Garden City Lands) park development plan include: Site interpretation; community gardening; food production workshops and fitness and wellness activities (walking clubs, tai chi, yoga).

The GCL cost the City of Richmond close to $60 million to purchase in 2010 after a long, drawn-out process with the federal government and the Musqeaum First Nation, which held partial rights over the area.

Work on most of the site has been mainly limited to the spring and summer months, leaving only the edges accessible for construction, according to the report’s

YVR deals with mock bomb threat, crash ALANCAMPBELL Staff Reporter

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A

bomb threat and subsequent plane crash sparked a large-scale emergency at YVR recently.

Thankfully, the “drama” — which involved 600 participants from 24 different, local and national agencies — was merely a mock-up of what could happen at the airport.

YVR was hosting an airport-wide training exercise to simulate a security threat and an airplane crash to practise emergency response plans with business partners and the airport community.

“YVR’s Emergency Management Plan

focuses on three principles: Prevent, Prepare and Practice,” said Steve Hankinson, vice president, Operations and Maintenance, Vancouver Airport Authority.

“This is the first year we have held two separate, but coinciding, incidents which allowed us to test the plan in extreme conditions.

“The scenarios today were chosen to involve as many responders and business partners as possible and I am pleased to say that we effectively and efficiently worked together in response to both incidents.”

The exercise included two separate components, the first being a mock bomb threat, which was designed to test the threat assessment response, coordination between agencies and the communication

handover between incidents.

The second exercise was larger in scale, focused on a mock airplane crash and involved the scenario of a passenger aircraft landing short of the south runway before hitting the dyke on Sea Island.

The force of the “impact” caused the airplane to break in two; one part of the airplane landing in the Fraser River, close to shore, while the other half ended up on land.

The simulated aircraft wreckage was attended to by emergency responders in both areas. A family and friends zone was also set up to simulate the care and dissemination of information needed during an emergency.

More than 180 volunteers played the part of injured victims, passengers, family

members and mock media, giving everyone involved a realistic experience.

YVR’s Emergency Management Plan deals with all emergency situations including aircraft incidents, natural disasters, medical emergencies, security threats and biological hazards.

Emergency exercises, says airport staff, are a key part of the Emergency Management Plan and are performed on a regular basis.

Agencies taking part included: Air Canada; BC Ambulance Service; BC Coroners Services; Canadian Coast Guard; Canadian Border Services Agency; City of Richmond; London Air Services; RCMP; Salvation Army; Transport Canada and United States Customs and Border Protection.

Police on the hunt for 'peacoat' carjacker Alan Campbell

ichmond Mounties are on the lookout for a man who stole a car, after its driver gave the suspect a ride into the city centre.

Just after 1 a.m. on Monday, April 3, the 28-year-old victim left a business in the 8800 block of River Road, near the Oak Street Bridge, when the suspect approached him and began talking to him.

Shortly afterwards, the suspect asked for a ride into downtown Richmond, to which the driver agreed and drove him to the area

of No. 3 and Cambie roads.

However, according to the victim, this is where the suspect threatened the driver, ordered him out of the vehicle — a black, 2016 Kia Optima with Alberta licence plates — and drove off.

Richmond RCMP are asking the public to take a look at the CCTV footage released, paying particular attention to the suspect’s black, “peacoat” woolen jacket.

The suspect is described as Caucasian, 20-30-years-old, about six-feet, one-inch tall, weighing 200 pounds and was of medium build.

“By releasing this security footage, we hope that someone will recognize this suspect by his distinctive attire and grooming,” said Richmond RCMP’s Cpl. Dennis Hwang.

“Please contact us if it does.

Your information may help us bring him to justice.”

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Const.

Sonny Virk of the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212, by email at Richmond_Tips@rcmp-grc.gc.ca or anonymously by contacting Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Highrise theft leads cops to cache Sex assault charge Alan Campbell

A

n investigation into a daytime burglary from a highrise in the centre of Richmond led police to the discovery of a cache of firearms, ammunition and illegal drugs.

According to Richmond RCMP, two suspects broke into one of the units in a condo complex on Lansdowne Road, near No. 3 Road.

Once inside, the thieves stole high-value items, including jewellery and currency. No one was home in the unit at the time and the thieves fled before police arrived.

With the help of crime analysts, Richmond RCMP was able to quickly identify the suspects connected to the March 24 break-in.

And shortly after 7 p.m. on March 28, Richmond Mounties from the Property Crime Unit executed a search warrant on a residence in the 12000 block of 104th Avenue in Surrey.

As a result, two males were arrested and officers were able to locate items connecting them to the Richmond highrise burglary.

ineteen-year-old Richmond resident Bilali Miyonkuru has been arrested and charged with sexual assault causing bodily harm and robbery.

Vancouver Police contends Miyonkuru is responsible for a string of sexual assaults in East Vancouver in late April.

“On April 26 a woman was walking in the area of Monmouth Avenue and Joyce Street when she was approached by a man from behind who asked her not to move,” said VPD spokesperson Staff Sgt. Randy Fincham. “Concerned for her safety, she ran out of the area and called police.

“A second woman near Joyce Street and Vanness Avenue was entering an apartment building when she was grabbed from behind by a stranger. She screamed and the man ran off. A third woman on East 46th Avenue near Doman Street was grabbed from behind by a man. She was pulled into bushes outside an unoccupied house where she was sexually assaulted.”

“The safety and security of everyone in our community is our top priority.

“Our investigators will continue to work tirelessly to hold individuals accountable for the victimization of others.”

According to a LinkedIn online profile, a Bilali Miyonkuru from Richmond is listed as a graduate of MacNeil secondary and a computer software entrepreneur, studying political science at Langara College.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call investigators at 604-717-3720 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

“Our goal is to help people become aware of invasive species that are prevalent in Richmond and why we need to take action against them,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie.

“Richmond is a demonstrated leader in invasive species response. Continued early detection, collaboration with other jurisdictions, regular monitoring and management will help combat these destructive species,” said Brodie.

he City of Richmond is inviting the public to gather at historic Branscombe House on Saturday, May 13, from 1 to 3 p.m., to celebrate the unveiling of a new public artwork: The Gathering, a life-size picnic basket consisting of small food items sculpted by dozens of community members.

The piece was created by artist Rhonda Weppler, the inaugural Branscombe House Artist-in-Residence and celebrated visual artist, whose work represents the everyday objects that make up the background of our lives.

In 2016, Weppler sparked the creativity of Richmond residents with workshops, exhibitions and monthly drop-in activities at Branscombe House, typically revolving around the theme of food or using sculptural food materials such as cookie dough, marzipan or fondant as a medium.

In the last few months of her residency, Weppler

hosted The Gathering workshops where more than 60 residents of all ages came to sculpt a sardine, chocolate, sushi or other food of their choice for the creation of the artwork.

She then placed the sculptural delights in a picnic basket which was cast in bronze to create the final work.

Weppler has generously donated the sculpture to the city as a gift for the community and as a legacy of her time at Branscombe House.

The celebration will take place at the new picnic area on the Railway Avenue Greenway, south of Branscombe House (4900 Steveston Highway).

As part of the event, attendees are encouraged to decorate their own cookie artwork to take home.

Interest on bridge debt could total $8 billion over 50 years Nelson Bennett

eplacing the George Massey Tunnel with a bridge would cost $3.5 billion to build, but another $8 billion in debt servicing, according to documents leaked to and by the NDP Party.

The party says it filed a freedom of information request several months ago to obtain information on the project’s financing. The documents released had financing details redacted, the NDP press release states.

But the party then received leaked documents that detail the proposed bond issues for the project. It released those documents Friday May 5, along with a press release that states, “financing costs for the bridge will add another $8 billion in costs that British Columbians will be paying for the next 50 years — bringing the total bill to nearly $12

billion.”

During the construction phase, the government would issue seven-year term bullet bonds with a 3.15 per cent interest rate, as well as 30-year bonds at 3.57 per cent to 3.9 per cent interest rates.

The total interest costs between 2017 and 2068 — when the debt would be retired — would be $8 billion.

B.C. Transportation Minister Todd Stone later likened the interest payments spread over 50 years the same as a mortgage on a house.

“Yes, there will be a loan and it will be spread out over the next 50 years — like a mortgage,” he said in a press release.

“As an example, if you bought a home for $750,000 today and pay it off over a 35-year period, you’ll pay nearly $1 million in interest.

You wouldn’t say you paid $1.75 million for the home. It’s the exactly the same principle for the Massey Bridge.”

LETTERSto the Editor Raze the fields East side ignored, west side overdone

Dear Editor, Perhaps I am a contrarian, but I don’t think that the Agricultural Land Reserve is doing anybody any good.

We are in the process of building a $4-billion bridge so that people can build more homes on farmland in Surrey, Langley and White Rock.

In addition, thousands of acres of farmland are being used up by the Highways to take commuters out to these communities. It makes no sense.

I used to live in White Rock and commuted to Downtown Vancouver. That was in the 1970s, and it was not fun then.

I can imagine how bad it is now.

Not to mention the cost of commuting, global warming, and other environmental damage. Millions of litres of fuel are used annually in this endeavour.

These expenses could be saved by proper planning, transit and the development of the rest of Richmond.

There is approximately

n Turn farms into condos?

13,000 acres in Richmond that has restricted development because of the ALR, of which only about one-half is operating as farms. Our main crops, in order of size, are cranberries, and blueberries, which are grown on peaty soils.

Our largest crop grown on loamy soils is hay. Surely there is better use for our farmland than that. Hay can be grown anywhere in Surrey and Langley.

It is time to stop the madness, and consider an orderly development of the ALR lands in Richmond, B.C. Bill Evans Richmond

Dear Editor, The other day I was in Steveston Village, on No. 1 Road and Regent Street, where a new traffic light has been installed.

Normally, I wouldn’t consider that a big concern, but it is in an unusual location. On the west side of Regent Street, there are only a handful of houses before the street is blocked.

Is it necessary to put in a light for a side street that has only a limited amount of houses?

Not only that, there are two more traffic lights along No. 1 Road a short distance away at Steveston Highway and again at Chatham Street.

I understand that Steveston Village is a tourist attraction, but I feel that when it comes to traffic safety, they are getting more attention than any other area of Richmond. There is the diagonal crosswalk, traffic lights with an advanced green and four way stops.

What about No. 4 Rd and Steveston Highway where

there isn’t even a sign for No. 4 Road? Or the intersection of Shell and Williams roads, where people have been fighting for years for some traffic assistance? It is one of the most treacherous intersections with an active railway track, and a crosswalk.

Westminister Highway and No. 4 Road is a major route for commuters. Between 3 and 4 p.m., an average of two cars get the chance to turn left, and that’s through a yellow light.

I am very concerned that many intersections in Richmond are being ignored by the city.

Time and money was invested into this new traffic light on Regent Street in Steveston, so a handful of residences could turn left.

East Richmond residences pay an equal amount of municipal and property taxes.

Why does the city not correct these traffic issues?

Paving way to pandemonium?

Dear Editor, Re: “$300 million dyke plan forges ahead,” News, April 14, 2017.

I hope the City of Richmond never paves the West Dyke from Terra Nova to Steveston, as suggested by Coun. Alexa Loo. It is not a cycling commuter route, where cycle speeds of up to 40 km/h can easily be attained.

Paving the new Railway Greenway from Steveston Highway to No. 2 Road accomplished that — even though there was already a perfectly good commuter cycling route along Railway Avenue!

If leisure cyclists think the section from Terra Nova to Steveston is busy now with dogs and joggers/runners, walkers/hikers, (a lot of times six abreast or with phone buds in their ears and not paying attention to oncoming cyclists’ warning bells to “share the dyke”), I can just imagine what it would look like if paved.

Paving would allow much easier use for seniors with walkers, disabled with wheelchairs, moms and dads with baby strollers and carriages, children on tricycles and bicycles with training wheels, roller bladers, skate boarders, leisure single or group cyclists, as well as single or pack group cyclists.

This easy availability of a smooth ride will result in a way higher risk of injuries to all parties using the trail, as speedy cyclists, and even skateboarders, and rollerbladers, try to manoeuvre through all these types of traffic. This foreseeable chaos will prevent an enjoyable outing by anyone.

Also, environmentally speaking, in this very habitat-sensitive, riparean area, would Environment Canada or the pro-

vincial Ministry of Environment allow the addition of PAHs (polyaromatic hydrocarbons) onto the soil resulting in the probable pollution of the surface, ground water and receiving waters?

I would like to suggest that, since Richmond clearly has money to spend on upgrading cycling trails, it should be spent on making existing cycling trails safe.

In particular, the city should look at connecting the very hazardous Shell Road Trail (that leads to nowhere!).

A lot of money has just been spent to upgrade and repair the trail’s pavement from Westminster Highway to Alderbridge Way, yet a cyclist or jogger/runner cannot connect to the Bridgeport Trail, the north dyke or Canada Line bridge. Please complete this section of the trail from where it abruptly ends, just north of Alderbridge under the freeway.

This trail could be a gorgeous leisure loop trail or commuter route connecting the mentioned trails, but because there’s a gap in this section, the cycle loop starting from the west area of Richmond is broken and a cyclist is forced to venture onto a very narrow, busy and dangerous section of Shell Road all the way to Bridgeport hoping the traffic will not side swipe you!

I sure hope Ms. Loo and the rest of the city councillors, as well as Mr. John Irving, City of Richmond’s chief engineer, reconsider the idea of paving the West Dyke. To conclude, since you are all for safe cycling in Richmond, please spend the money on upgrading existing paths.

Mary Gurney Richmond

Monday.

I heard them trying to get out on Monday night so immediately contacted Onni to let them know. I asked for a call back, so I could be sure they had been rescued.

I spent the next two days trying to have something done, but Onni could not have been less helpful.

I also contacted the city and RAPS, but as it is

private property, I was told they couldn’t do anything either.

I don’t know if the birds were ever removed as Onni refused to call me back.

By Wednesday, I could no longer hear them.

May the buildings sit empty forever or until they fall down.

y mother was a character. She loved to play, tease and generally pester the heck out of her family.

She was a character in her garden, too. She was adamant about finding plants in the forest or roadside in the West Kootenays and bringing them home to plant in her rather sad, meagre garden.

After school, she would pick up all four of us kids and take us up into n Local plants for Mother’s Day can the mountains. be a treat that takes you back to She would come home when you were a child. with Indian paintbrush, Oregon grape, arrowleaf balsamroot, wild roses, small trees, such as mountain ash, and many other unfortunate species.

One of her favourites was foxglove, which seemed to be the only plant that would take in her garden. She would plunk them right into her makeshift garden without a thought as to their need for sun, shade or water.

Sad, limp and scruffy trees and plants tried their best to grow in our yard, but Mom was happy, and she never gave up!

We gardeners have to keep trying and never give up. We need to spend a bit more time than my mother did making sure we choose the right plants and trees for our gardens and for the amount of energy we want to give our plants.

Make sure to read labels to identify whether your plant choices need full sun, part sun/part shade or full shade.

Many plants are too fragile to survive over winter and may need to be moved indoors during the colder months.

We are in the plant hardiness zone 8b here in Richmond, so there are plenty of choices for our plant material.

When choosing shrubs or trees, make sure to understand how tall and how wide the plants will be when full grown.

Some plants require more pruning and care than you may have time, expertise or interest to take on.

Do your research, ask questions at your nursery and you will be happy with your careful planning.

Happy Mother’s Day to my angel mother and all earthly mothers on this special day!

inger Nikita Afonso is going to be brushing up on her Portuguese language skills after winning an award for best new talent at the International Portuguese Music Awards last month in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

That’s because her prize is an allexpenses paid trip to Portugal where she will be put under the media spotlight.

“I am not quite sure when I am going yet, but they plan it out for you to do TV, radio and newspaper interviews,” said Afonso, 23, who was brought up in the Okanagan (Penticton) and now lives in Richmond to be closer to the music scene. “I think it will hopefully open up some more doors for me to perform, not just in B.C. but maybe a tour. I’d also love to perform in Portugal. We’ll see.

Time will tell.

“I just know that it will be a good thing to speak Portuguese better. I can with my grandparents because they slow it down for me. But the Europeans like to talk quite quickly, so I struggle to keep up.”

Winning the competition is a long way from her very first performance as a four-year-old in a daycare talent show where she belted out My Heart Will Go On, the signature song from the film Titanic made famous by Quebec chanteuse Celine Dionne.

“Ever since then, music and singing just stuck with me. And I took some piano, guitar and voice lessons.

Then, in high school, I decided this was a possibility for a career and I took off with it.”

What has made her trek possible, so far, is her family.

“My family has always been extremely supportive of this passion of mine to perform, in terms of driving to and from places,” Afonso said. “My dad and mom would always take me. They even came to Boston with me for the awards.” n Richmond’s Nikita Afonso with her recent award at the In Boston, Afonso said the International Portuguese Music Awards.

A

ll the Ugly and Wonderful Things

by Bryn Greenwood is a book that will stay with me for years to come. I have never read anything like it, and don’t expect to ever find something like it again.

Be aware, this book will make you lose sleep and wreak havoc with your emotions.

Wavy, born in the backseat of a

stranger’s car to a meth dealer and a mentally ill mother, is not what anyone would call normal. At eight, she rarely speaks — “Don’t you ever talk to people! You don’t talk to anyone!”

— or eats — “Don’t eat that! That’s dirty!”

She spends her days struggling to raise her little brother, surviving her mother’s moods and avoiding her father.

Wh What follows is a tale that spans aro around 15 years told from the per perspectives of Wavy, Kellen, Wa Wavy’s brother, her cousin, her aun aunt, her teachers, friends and her father’s thugs.

It is a tale of love, woe, sadness, happiness, violence and compassion: a tale of all the ugly and wonderful things humans do to each other.

This book will make you uncomfortable. It certainly made me uncomfortable. It will make you question the world and yourself. The strength of it lies in the author’s refusal to force a view or opinion on the reader.

SUMMER CAMP

Tips on booking a kids camp S

ummer camp season is just around the corner. Each summer, millions of children depart for campsites around the country to swim, hike, craft, and enjoy the companionship of friends.

Summer camps in North America were first established in the 1880s and were attended by children without their parents for overnight stays. By the 20th century, summer camps had become an international phenomenon, and various organizations hosted traditional camps or camps geared toward religion, sports, music and other subjects and activities. Nonprofit groups are the largest sponsors of summer camps.

Many people put off summer camp planning until it is too late. Parents should keep in mind that camps begin registration early in the year and have specific cut-off dates for enrollment. Parents who want to beat the crowds this year can use this guide to help plan a summer camp agenda.

• Attend an orientation seminar: Take the time to visit prospective camps for a tour, and use this open house as an opportunity to learn more about the programs offered. If available, find a camp employee to discuss your child’s eligibility for enrollment. Some camps may offer webinars for convenience.

• Fill out the enrollment package completely: Each camp has their own requirements for registration. Expect to submit some personal information, including a medical background and proof of insurance, names and numbers of emergency contacts, and any other pertinent information as it

applies to the camper. This may include allergies, fears, physical or mental disabilities, or even preferences in camp courses.

• Establish payment schedules: Summer camps vary in price. Camp costs range from $100 to more than $1,500 per week. However, many accredited camps offer some sort of financial assistance for children from families with limited financial means. If cost is a factor, be sure to broach the subject.

• Prepare children for the physical challenges: Summer camp activities may be rigorous, and campers may need to be cleared by a physician before starting. Be sure to schedule your child a physical and bring along any pertinent forms. Children also can increase their levels of physical activity compared to the often sedentary nature of winter. Such preparation can prevent injuries when engaging in outdoor and physical activities.

• Shop for supplies: Camps are likely to provide a list of requirements with regard to clothing and other equipment campers will need. Make sure kids have enough shorts, T-shirts, socks, athletic shoes, swimsuits, toiletries, and other camp necessities before they leave.

• Keep children in the loop: Engage children in the planning process to help alleviate their fears and get them excited about summer camp.

Summer camp can foster lifelong memories. Parents can help kids prepare in advance for the fun that›s soon to arrive.

SUMMER CAMP

Plenty of choices for camps

S

n Day camp

Day camps are not overnight camps, which means kids will return home each night rather than sleep over at camp. Day camps typically offer many of the activities people have come to associate with camps, including crafts, sports and even day-trips to experience local culture or attractions.

Many day camps are co-ed,

and counselors typically live within the community.

n Faith-based camp

Faith-based camps offer many of the same activities as more traditional summer camps, but do so while simultaneously offering campers the opportunity to celebrate and further explore their religious beliefs.

Some faith-based camps may focus heavily on religion, incorporating faith into daily camp activities, while others may be more subtle with regard to integrating religious beliefs and lessons

into camp activities.

Sports camps may feature guest lectures and lessons from notable local athletes and coaches, while some camps may provide instruction from current and/or former professional athletes.

Some sports camps are overnight, while others are day camps.

BBQ uses old fashioned charcoal From page 18 Looking just like its name implies, the Big Green Egg is a durable, ceramic outdoor cooker that allows you to cook to precise temperatures that rivals even indoor ovens.

It uses 100 per cent natural lump charcoal derived from oak and hickory hardwoods for superior results that help seal in flavour and keep your foods moist. Plus, foods cooked with high quality charcoal that do not contain any fillers or chemicals taste better.

Its ceramic surface doesn’t get as hot as a regular metal grill, and the heat source is contained in a protected, ceramic firebox in its base.

Clean up is a breeze, too, with a professional grade stainless steel cooking grid.

The exterior is also worry-

free with its distinctive glaze that is good enough to last a lifetime.

Inside, the thermal efficiency of the Big Green Egg means there is a minimal build-up of ash, and the residual heat it generates helps burn away any accumulation of grease in a similar way as a self-cleaning oven.

So, whatever your needs are, come see the friendly staff at the Fireplace Warehouse today and discover how they can keep you and your guests warm and comfy year-round.

ith her team trailing 1-0 at the half and the season hanging in the balance, Natalie Cooke put on her ‘Super Girl’ cape and went to work.

She scored four times in the half to lead the Richmond Colts senior girls soccer team to a 4-1 playoff win over the Steveston-London Sharks and lock up a berth in the Vancouver and District playdowns. Cooke won’t be relied upon to that extent for the next chapter in her soccer career.

The Grade 12 striker has earned a full-ride scholarship to the University of Nebraska. She actually leaves for Lincoln in early July to enroll in the school’s summer bridge program which will give her a head start on classes and her training.

The Colts will be in tough to progress in this week’s district playoffs but that’s okay for the city’s unofficial MVP. She is getting one final chance to play with her classmates and the team happens to be coached by her father — Dan Cooke. All four of her goals came on runs beyond 40 metres as she used her speed and skill to weave through Shark defenders.

“It’s definitely different doing things by myself most of the time,” she laughed. “But I have been playing with all these girls since Grade 8 and that’s why I’m out here.”

Cooke came through Richmond Girls Soccer and made an instant impression.

After her first season, she was aged up and played with year older teams. She was also training regularly with Total Soccer Systems (TSS) and eventually was invited to join the Richmond-based academy on a full-time basis.

She left her RGSA team and also stepped away from Richmond Girls Softball to focus exclusively

■ Natalie Cooke is enjoying one last opportunity to play with her Richmond High classmates and friends.

on the TSS program. Cooke joined the TSS Black team in her Grade 10 year which is guided by Brendan Quarry and designed to showcase the academy’s top graduating players to university and college teams.

“It’s very possession based and skilled oriented,” said Cook in describing the TSS philosophy. “You really work on your skills and evasive dribbling. You get that stuff down before working into bigger play.

It’s just a good atmosphere to be in.”

Cooke’s initial interest was attending university in Eastern Canada with Ontario schools Queen’s and Laurier being near the top of her list. That was until TSS put together player recruiting profiles and sent them out to their usual contacts.

Among those to show immediate interest in Cooke was Nebraska head coach John Walker.

Soon after, he flew to Vancouver to watch her play.

Following further correspondence, she was invited to Lincoln for an unofficial visit last June.

Cooke was immediately impressed with the soccer program and the school’s academic opportunities. She even reached out to Sari Raber — a Richmond native and Nebraska women’s soccer grad who continued her studies in medicine at UBC. It’s the same career Cooke is interested in.

She made a verbal commitment then headed back to Nebraska in late September when she had the chance to attend a Cornhuskers football game in front of 90,000 fans.

“It was crazy. Such a great atmosphere,” Cooke smiled. “All the people were so sweet and everyone was saying hello. It was just so different compared to back home.”

Cooke is one of eight recruits in the Cornhusker’s class of 2021. The team plays a fall season and is part of the Big 10 Conference. Nebraska was 116-5 overall last season and qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the second time in four years.

The depth chart suggests Cooke will have a good opportunity for playing time as a freshman.

She is the third city female athlete from the 2017 graduation class to earn a full-ride athletic scholarship to an American school — joining McMath’s Camryn Rogers (athletics, Cal-Berkeley) and Burnett’s Alisha Lau (golf, Colorado).

Corner kicks...

The McMath Wildcats defeated the Colts Thursday to earn the No. 1 “AAA” seed for the Vancouver and District playoffs.

Lauren Dickson and Kirsten Whilshire paced the attack for the unbeaten Wildcats, while senior Georgia Booker anchored the backline.

The McRoberts Strikers earned the top “AA” seed with a 2-0 win over the McNair Marlins in extra time. They both head to the “AA” District playoffs along with the Burnett Breakers who earned the final berth by slipping past Hugh Boyd 1-0.

Gilles helps spoil Stealth’s home playoff debut Mark Booth

Sports Editor mbooth@richmond-news.com

J

ordan Gilles delivered big time in front of a large contingent of family and friends on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre.

The 22-year-old defender had his best offensive game of the season with a pair of transition goals to help the Colorado Mammoth hold off

the hometown Vancouver Stealth 13-12 in National Lacrosse League suddendeath Western Division semi-final action.

The Richmond Lacrosse product showcased his excellent speed to capitalize on a couple of breakaway opportunities, including a key goal in the early stages off the fourth quarter to give the Mammoth an 11-8 lead at the time. Gilles had three

goals and five points during the regular season after scoring eight times in his rookie campaign.

He proved on Saturday of what he is capable of at any given time and what he has done for much of his lacrosse career.

“I haven’t been scoring as much as last season but my defence has definitely got better,” smiled the McMath graduate. “To score in the

playoffs, I will do anything for that. I think we were given the green light more (to attack) tonight, and for me, I want the green light whenever I can.

“This is a building I’m definitely comfortable in. Playing in front of a sold out crowd, that included my family and friends, certainly helped too.”

After the game, Gilles posed for photos and received and plenty of hugs

before heading back to Denver where the Mammoth will take on Saskatchewan next weekend to open a best-ofthree Western Division final series. The UBC kinesiology student took a semester off to live in Colorado during the NLL season.

“There are 10 of us down there doing that,” he explained. “It’s great bonding time and gets the team

chemistry going too.”

Following the Mammoth’s playoff run, Gilles is expected to join the Nanaimo Timbermen for his second season in the Western Lacrosse Association. He managed 11 points, including five goals, in 13 games last year.

His junior career included winning a pair league championships with Coquitlam.
