orkSafeBC is investigating the collapse of the walkway onto a floating dock at one of Steveston’s most famous tourist attractions. At about 2 p.m. on Sunday, the walkway leading down to Pajo’s Fish and Chips suddenly cracked and buckled, with a reported four people on the ramp. One of them is understood to have been taken to hospital with minor injuries, while the others were unhurt as the walkway plunged about 15 feet into the harbour. However, about 20 to 30 customers and staff were stranded on the dock and had to wait for almost an hour before emergency services provided a make-shift dock for them to get safely back to land. Witnesses on the walkway reported hearing a cracking sound before it gave way and “free-fell” into the harbour.

emo to car thieves: Don’t try to hide the evidence in front of the public. Two suspects, who are now in custody, clearly didn’t get said memo after they were allegedly caught in the Hamilton area frantically trying to clean a reportedly stolen car. Last Thursday, July 6, just before 2 p.m., a local resident spotted two suspicious men wearing gloves and using a spray bottle to frantically clean a car near her residence. She quickly took a photo of the men and called police, just before they sped away in a second, waiting vehicle. Due to quick reporting of the suspi-

Mountie rescues ‘kids’ in distress
Sign clutter bylaw comes into effect

Richmond Mountie is making a habit of rescuing and relocating “children” in varying forms of distress or displacement. The officer in question, Const. Dawn But (pronounced “Bute”), didn’t hesitate when she responded to a recent call of “children” reportedly in trouble. Last Thursday, July 6, shortly before 7:30 a.m., But was called to the 8500 block of Cook Road, where a group of ducklings had “allegedly” wandered off from their mother and become trapped in a deep drainage pipe. Although a high-angle rescue team was considered, But acted quickly and was able to safely rescue the 14 ducklings and re-unite them with their mother. According to police, no imprinting (adverse contact with humans) was observed and the mother duck appeared grateful to accept her children back into the family. The ducklings were apparently shaken, but otherwise unharmed by the ordeal. This is not the first time But has been called into her new animalwhisperer role. Earlier, in May, she assisted with the relocation of three goats that had been “unlawfully at large” in the No. 2 and Moncton Street area of Richmond.

ichmond city council has approved a new de-cluttering bylaw with regard to business signs. The city claims the updated bylaw will “modernize regulations related to signage, increase education and enforcement, introduce new permit fees and address a variety of concerns about clutter and visual pollution.” What it doesn’t address, despite public pressure last month, is a demand for mandatory English on the signs.

Such a move was blocked by city council, citing concerns over legal challenges and the fact that city staff say they’re getting “100 per cent” compliance from new sign applicants to consider having English on their signs. The new bylaw, which went into effect Tuesday (July 11), includes a number of changes which will limit the percentage of storefront windows that can be covered by signage and clarify rules for temporary signs.

The car they were allegedly “cleaning” was reportedly stolen out of Surrey. The suspects, a 35-year-old male from Surrey, and a 28-year-old male from North Vancouver, are known to police. Charges are pending and the investigation, according to Richmond RCMP, is ongoing. “Richmond RCMP officers care about their community and are thankful when vigilant community members report suspicious activity,” said Supt.

f you’re feeling a little long in the tooth or short on the savvy when it comes to computers, don’t worry. The next generation of geniuses is getting the lowdown on their downloads next week in Richmond. That’s because self-described computer geek (he means that in a good way) Roland Tecson will be in the district, teaching computer programming language – or as the kids say, coding. From July 10-14, Tecson, 49, will be sharing his 30-plus years of industry experience in technology and telecommunications with more than a dozen teens during a Coding Summer Camp being held at McNair Secondary. What exactly is coding? It’s the creation of an app or a program on a computer, such as an iPhone or iPad, Tecson explained, things that are used everywhere, every
day. The apps are written in code. Tecson, who grew up in Richmond and is a McNair grad himself, wrote his first computer program in 1980 on the first batch of Apple

II computers the Richmond School District had purchased.
At the time, the district touted its acquisition in an article published in the now defunct Richmond Review, titled: Microcomputers are with us. “The fascination and involvement of youngsters playing with and learning from microcomputers is often in contrast to the bewilderment and nervousness shown by many adults when first encountering these new electronic wonders,” the story stated. The more things change… Clearly, being fluent in computer-speak isn’t a flash in the pan. In fact, according to the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Council, Canada will need more than 200,000 ICT jobs by 2020. That’s why in 2016, the B.C. Education Ministry released a new kindergarten-toGrade 12 curriculum focused on design and coding competencies. Last month, the federal government announced a $50-million program for

youth to learn coding and other digital skills. But only a fraction of the positions will be filled, as not many students seek out computer programming careers, said Tecson. “Kids enjoy using computers, but a very small percentage of them go into coding,” he said. Tecson believes there are two main challenges: a lack of qualified teachers and insufficient exposure to youth. Tecson said forming new partnerships between schools, industry professionals and local corporate
sponsors would help address the gap, as well as showing students and parents that coding isn’t boring, nerdy or open only to “male geeks.” Nothing could be farther from the truth, said Tecson, who noted ICT jobs also require artists, designers and other creative types, as well as project managers and marketers. “I learned the BASIC programming language by going through the manuals after school with Mr. Glen Bussey, my Grade 7 teacher at Walter Lee Elementary,” said Tecson. “He instilled in me a

love for building software and launched me into a fulfilling career in technology.” After three decades in the industry, Tecson is proficient in several computer languages, has developed critical telecom systems still deployed in international networks today, and has coded numerous iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch apps, with some supporting more than 270,000 daily transactions. Tecson said he’s now come full circle to teach the next generation of students in the Coding Summer Camp through the district’s Continuing Education program, and hopes to expose kids – and their parents – to the vocational possibilities. The camp will show participants how to code using Apple’s newest programming language, Swift – a powerful modern programming language used by a growing number of professional developers. Students will learn coding fundamentals and will write their own apps, such as an Angry Bird lookalike game and an AI (artificial intelligence) conversation app. Grace Tsang, a former Richmond school trustee, is excited to see Tecson on board. “Partnerships between educators and industry professionals are an excellent way for school districts to keep up with the rapid advances in technology,” she said. “The schools are able to supplement their programs with help from developers who have practical hands-on industry experience, while the industry ensures the future work force will have the necessary coding skills for 21st-century jobs.” The Review was bang on 37 years ago: “It is clear that this technology will be a central fact of life and a fundamental social force in the future.”

eling Huang said she is very excited and still can’t believe she’s won. Huang told reporters Tuesday, via an interpreter, that this win means she will be able to focus on spending time with her family. The winning ticket was purchased Saturday at the Lottery Ticket Centre in Richmond Centre. Earlier in the day Tuesday, it was revealed that a Lotto 6/49 ticket worth $9.5 million had been purchased in Richmond on July 8. However, the ticket holder had yet to come forward. Their identity, along with the specific retail location where the lucky ticket was purchased, was only announced after the winner had come forward to claim the prize. The single ticket was the only one in Canada to match all six numbers in the draw.
he City of Richmond is calling on the public to have its say on the latest vision for the future of Steveston. The city is currently undertaking its initial consultation on preferred options for updated design and heritage policies in the Steveston Area Plan, as well as options for streetscape concepts for Bayview, Chatham and Moncton Streets. Two upcoming open houses will offer information boards on the options and the opportunity to complete a public survey on site or on the city’s website – LetsTalkRichmond.ca – and to speak with city staff from community planning and transportation. The open houses take place:

On June 6, city council endorsed the launch of public engagement on options for updating design and heritage policies and options for streetscape concepts for Bayview, Chatham and Moncton Streets. Next steps include staff reporting the findings back to council in October.

Crowd-funder helps kid fighting flesh disease Alan Campbell

Be careful with the summer jumping A
n afternoon of fun on a neighbour’s trampoline ended suddenly when three-year-old Remy crashed to the ground. His parents rushed him to the emergency department. “He was in a lot of pain,” said his dad, Cameron. “I was surprised to hear how bad it was.” Remy fractured his arm and was in a cast for a month. Doctors see hundreds of kids like Remy every year in hospital emergency departments. They most often see fractures, with the ankles, elbows and heads being the most commonly injured parts. “In Richmond Hospital, we see a peak in trampoline injuries between April and September,” said Dr. Erik Swartz, Richmond-based head of pediatrics at Vancouver Coastal Health. “I see a lot of concussions and broken arms, but more serious injuries definitely do occur.” Stats from the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP) show that spine injuries can occur during falls, but more often happen when someone somersaults or flips. The most common injuries involve jumping or falling off the trampoline. The majority of injuries (80 per cent) occur when two or more children are on the trampoline at the same time. The trampoline Remy was on did have a safety net but the door wasn’t closed at the time. “We’ve learned our lesson,” said Cameron. “We only want him using trampolines that have the safety nets, so he’s more secure. “This was the one time it wasn’t zipped up. We need to be more mindful next time.” Swartz said he would always “want to encourage physical activity and being outdoors. “But we also want parents and caregivers to err on the side of caution, and take as many precautions as possible to limit preventable injuries.” Evidence-based safety tips: n Only one person should be on the trampoline at a time; n Closely supervise all children; n Don’t jump onto or off a trampoline; n Have a safety net and keep the door closed; n Reduce risk of neck or spine injuries by limiting flips or somersaults.

GoFundMe, the popular crowdfunding website, has donated $1,000 to help boost the campaign of 11-yearold John Zhuang Chen, who is recovering from a devastating flesh-eating disease. The website’s donation was one of 75 similar ones across the country in honour of Canada’s 150th birthday. GoFundMe picked out 75 impactful
campaigns started by Canadians and John’s campaign was chosen as one of the recipients. More than $35,000 of $150,000 goal raised so far for John, whose family is looking to the United States where there are trials for muscle implants. For that, they are fundraising, which should also help offset the costs of both parents not working. The Richmond News reported in June how, after an initial visit to the local clinic resulted in an order for
bed rest and some ibuprofen, John found himself surrounded by doctors at BC Children’s Hospital, soon to be diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis (or flesh-eating disease). The disease attacked his tendons and skin, which has resulted in nearly two dozen surgeries that have left him without a right calf and left tricep muscles and limited muscle mass in his other limbs.

Liberal MLAs have chance to learn humility Dear Editor, Re: “MLAs eyeing Opposition role,” News, July 7. John Yap, Linda Reid, Teresa Wat and Jas Johal didn’t quite get what they were hoping for. The voters elected enough NDP and Green party candidates to provide a coalition to form government. Enough B.C. residents, outside of Richmond, also saw fit not to support the rightof-centre “Liberal”government’s platform or record in the last election. The NDP and Green coalition handed longtime Liberals a long-overdue reality check, showing them how far out of touch they really are with working families. For the new MLAs, such as former journalist-turned-LNG lobbyist Jas Johal, who grabbed the coattails of longtime Richmond right-of-centre provincial politicians, lower your expectations. Johal says he signed up for public service. I would ask, why? What is in it for you? Serving the public is a curious detour from your previous endeavours. Looks more like calculated opportunism from were I am sitting. For Yap, in spite of the controversy with the 2013 ethnic vote scandal resulting in his resignation as minister, he continues to be sent to Victoria by Steveston voters. The record of Richmond MLAs is the same as their party’s on education, health care, Site-C, childcare, big-money party donations, etc. They cannot talk or spin their way out of the last 16 years. By the numbers, B.C. voters think they are, and have been, out of step and out of touch. Richmond MLAs are putting on a brave face, keeping to the party talking points and sucking up a big dose of humility. I have been waiting 16 years for this. It is worth it. David L. Merke

Real estate industry needs a shake up Dear Editor, Re: “Real Estate 2.0,” Feature, July 7. The real estate game needs to be shaken up to change the outdated model of outrageous commission-based selling, which helped fuel the madness of grossly overpriced homes. It’s a big payoff for little work. The real estate agents will argue differently, but the reality is that it’s the lawyers and notaries who do the real legal work in real estate transactions. As one lawyer said, it’s crazy what these real estate people make in commission for the work they do.
Homeowners are not the problem Dear Editor, Re: “The big squeeze is on firsttimers, not homeowners,” Letters, July 5. Steve Mullin speaks for many young people who cannot afford to get into the housing market. However, long-time homeowners are not tone deaf to their plight. Many are acutely aware that their own children and grandchildren are caught in the same situation. The housing crisis was not created by homeowners. Look instead at those who profit from a hot housing market: the construction and real estate industries, property flippers and speculators, and local governments that rake in fees and property taxes. Also to blame is the provincial government, which looked the other way while the situation got out of control, and a federal government with no national housing policy. We all need to put pressure on
government to solve the problem because young families and singles need decent, affordable housing. So do older, mostly retired homeowners without the financial resources to afford annual tax increases of 10 to 40 per cent. Mr. Mullin’s assumption that a $5,500 tax bill would be for a house worth over $3 million is off the mark. Our tax bill is larger than that on a property valued at less than $2 million. There is something wrong with the way that property taxes are calculated. We all use roughly the same amount of public services, yet taxes for single-family dwellings are rising while those for condos are falling. This needs to be fixed before large numbers of homeowners decide to protect their equity by moving into the condo/townhouse market. Marion Smith Richmond
Even the B.C. government got fed up with the greedy antics within the real estate business and recently took away its ability to regulate itself. In a hot real estate market, you don’t really need a middle agent. Do your homework, don’t be greedy and have a conveyance lawyer or notary lined up to do the legal paperwork. If you do choose to use an agent, negotiate the commission and don’t forget that there are more real estate agencies offering flat fee or one-per-cent commission selling. L. Hoi Richmond
Speculation hurts society as a whole Dear Editor, Re: “The big squeeze is on first-timers, not homeowners,” Letters, July 5. Steve Mullin’s statement, “Foreign buyers haven’t hurt you. In fact, they have done you a huge favour and added hundreds of thousands to your net worth.” Mr. Mullin, you may laugh till you drop your jaw, but I won’t. Foreign buyers who are buying up a high percentage of properties and hoarding them for profit is hurting our society. This kind of speculation is a main factor in sending property prices skyrocketing in recent years. The deteriorated real estate market inflates the cost of living and the cost of running business. Everyone hurts, especially when a high percentage of owners are using opaque titles to hide their real identities. It is reasonable to think that the money pouring into our housing market is questionable. If our society is turning a blind eyes to this matter, we are complicit in diminishing our Canadian values and we are putting our next generation in a very disadvantageous situation. We are in debt to our younger generations. After all, housing is a basic necessity for every citizen. I support the foreign investor tax and believe the government should also implement an unoccupied property tax to regulate the deteriorated market. Meanwhile, the Anti-Money Laundering Act should be diligently enforced to retain a fair playing field for law-abiding citizens. Michael Poon Richmond

Garlic scapes all the rage

SARAHDREWERY
Down to Earth
I
f you’ve ever bought a harvest basket from The Sharing Farm or from another local farmer, or if you are a frequent customer of the local farmer’s market, then the chances are you know about garlic scapes. If you haven’t, likely as not, you’ve never heard of them. Garlic scapes are vibrant, green twisty shoots that grow from hard neck garlic. The shoots are the flowering stalks of the garlic and we are careful to harvest them before the seeds are formed so that the plant can put all of its energy into producing big delicious garlic bulbs. If you leave them on, they will eventually form small bulbils that can be planted to grow more garlic, but it takes two to
three years for them to form large bulbs. Instead, we save about a quarter of our garlic crops to use as seed garlic for the following year. Scapes are available fresh for a few short weeks in the summer and we are harvesting them right now. You know when they are ready when they have curled round twice, like a pigs tail! The flavour is, unsurprisingly, garlicky, but is not as strong as the bulb. It can be sautéed or grilled and used in pretty much any dish that you would use garlic bulbs in. At The Sharing Farm, we like to make it into a pesto, which we freeze and use year-round to feed our hungry volunteers. It’s always a popular treat, especially after a hard morning’s work in our fields! Despite the late start to the year, our farmer has worked his magic and we have already started donating produce
City of Richmond
to the food bank and selling some of our produce at the Ladner and Steveston farmers’ markets. If you fancy trying out garlic scapes, head on over to our stall and give it a whirl. The scapes are also particularly exciting for us at The Sharing Farm, as they herald our Annual Garlic Festival. The festival is a family-friendly celebration of all things garlic, featuring delicious garlic-based food prepared by local chefs, music, a kid’s zone and of course, plenty of garlic. This year it will be held on Aug. 20. By that time, the only scapes available will be those we have pickled, but I happen to know the pickled variety goes very nicely with a Caesar! Sarah Drewery is the executive director of The Sharing Farm, a non-profit farm which grows food to donate to the food bank and community meal programs.
Steves kicks off Speaker Series T
his Saturday, July 15, veteran city Coun. Harold Steves and historian and former Gulf of Georgia Cannery Society president, Bud Sakamoto, will open up the Summer Speaker series. The pair will present “Working Together: How Multiculturalism Shaped the B.C. Fishing Industry.” Together, they will explore the many ways the Chinese and Japanese communities contributed to the local fishing industry. Both former fishermen, and lifelong friends, Steves and Sakamoto will also share their personal connections to the industry. Salmon is central to the identity of Steveston for many people; from the annual Salmon Festival to its former nickname “Salmonopolis,” the salmon theme can be found throughout the village for good reason. Historically, Steveston had the largest concentration of salmon canneries along the coast of B.C. and during canning season, the population grew exponentially as people flocked here to work for one of the 15 canneries that were part of Steveston’s Cannery Row. The cannery’s feature exhibit “The Pull of the Net” celebrates this history, and the summer Speakers’ Series delves deeper into the most compelling stories. The cannery’s manager of audience engagement, Shannon King, sat down with Steves and Sakamoto to talk about their perspectives. “Both Harold Steves and Bud Sakamoto have fished on the Fraser River, so they know this topic inside and out,” said King. “In this presentation, they want to emphasize the work that previous generations did in creating the community that we know today. Racial discrimination existed for sure, but Harold said that being on the water was an equalizer...cultural differences disappeared.” The Speakers’ Series is free and will be held in the cannery’s Boiler House Theatre on July 15, from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Seating is limited.

Night riding in Richmond is the place to be GEORDIEMcGILLIVRAY
Saddle up
W
ith the amount of cycling I do, it’s hard not to compare Richmond to other neighbouring cities, especially Vancouver. I can tell you from my riding experiences over the past years that having a city council that ride bikes in their city, and especially having a mayor that rides a bike in his city, makes all the difference when it comes to making that city cyclist-friendly. In Richmond, we aren’t that fortunate. However, I need to recognize Richmond for being the best at one thing with regards to
cycling. Interestingly, by comparison, Vancouver rates very low when it comes to this. Every year during the week of the summer solstice, I organize and lead a bike ride. Last year, it was a 400-km ride; last week it was a 500-km bike ride. This ride is done in one ride. No going to sleep and continuing the next day. We have breaks for food, but otherwise we are rolling all day. I allowed for 24 hours for this ride, which meant I would need to plan the last part of the ride, which would be about 150 km in the dark from 10 p.m. until 4 a.m. While the first 18 hours would be spent up in the mountains around Whistler, Squamish and all down the Sea-To-Sky,
the end of the ride would be on Richmond’s flat, open roads. A month ago, I noticed city workers all around Richmond upgrading new street lights. In fact, one week before this ride happened, many city roads were still dark because the lights had not been fully installed yet. However, it all worked out. Richmond, once the sun is down, now has excellent lighting on almost every road in every neighbourhood. It’s really quite fantastic. It’s a shame really, that with lighting this good, almost no cyclists will ever see them, since midnight and later isn’t a popular riding time. While we had lights
on our bikes, it was a rare time where I didn’t feel I really needed them. I wasn’t going to write about this until yesterday, and it’s only because of what I heard in the mountains of the North Shore while riding. At a food stop, some people were asking a friend of mine about our 500-km ride, and from out of nowhere she started telling them all about how great Richmond is for cycling at night because of the lights. My friend lives in Vancouver, rides as much as I do, and was telling everyone about Richmond. I hope everyone has a safe cycling summer. Geordie McGillivray is an avid Richmond cyclist

large part of a massive 252-metre hand-painted scroll by visual artist John Chen is being exhibited at Richmond City Hall during the month of July in celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation. The 80-metre elaborately painted watercolour landscape has been hung in the Richmond City Hall atrium and will remain on display through Monday, July 31. Originally from Taiwan, Chen initially set out to create a painting that was 150 metres in length to symbolically honour the confederation of the country that he now proudly calls home. He became so inspired about what he was doing that he ended up adding another 102 metres to his creation. The title of the work roughly translates to “Falling in Love with the Rocky Mountains” and the images on the scroll are inspired by views of the Lower Mainland. The style of landscape painting that Chen’s work follows can trace its roots back almost 5,000 years.

A
pair of dramatic comebacks produced Provincial Cup titles for Richmond soccer teams on Sunday afternoon in Surrey. U18 Richmond United boys and U16 Richmond F.C. girls capped outstanding campaigns in style at B.C. Soccer’s Provincial “A” Cup Championships at Newton Athletic Park. United completed a remarkable season that saw them accomplish the rare treble as Metro League, Coastal and Provincial champions thanks a thrilling 4-2 overtime win over archrival Burnaby Selects. Richmond was seconds away from its first defeat of the season, in league or cup play, when the equalizer was scored to send the match into extra time. The locals carried the momentum and took advantage of their tired opponent, playing with just 10 men after a second yellow late in regulation resulted in a red card and an automatic ejection. The gold medal match was the final chapter of a terrific rivalry between the two clear top
teams in the Metro Selects League all season. Richmond also defeated Burnaby 1-0 in the Coastal Cup final back in early May and needed more late heroics to salvage a 1-1 draw in the opening game of provincials Thursday. United’s road to the final also included a 2-0 triumph over Bays/Peninsula and playing Prince George to a 2-2 draw. Richmond’s roster featured: Captain Talvinder Jagde, Jovan Dhillon, Sajad Bakhtani, Khalil Virji, Daniel Judkowicz, Matthew Loveland, Sean Minato, Jordan Sandhu, Logan Hooper, Benjamin Weber, William Jackson, Nicholas Perrott, Zachary Balen, Reese Hafner, Peiyu Song, Marko Jovic, Maciej Wysocki and Zach Cantwell. The coaches included Shawn Sandhu, Indy Dulay and Richmond
F.C. technical coach Greg Dunham. Bob Minato is the team manager. Meanwhile, Richmond F.C. became the first city girls’ team to be crowned B.C. champs since the U15 Richmond Synergy and U13 Richmond Selects did it in 2013 thanks to a 2-1 triumph over the Upper Island Riptides. In a rematch of the Coastal Cup final that saw Richmond prevail 3-2 in penalty kicks, it was the Riptides that took a 1-0 lead into the final 40 minutes. The girls dug deep, overcoming another warm afternoon on heat-absorbing field turf, to score a pair of unanswered goals to cap their memorable season. Richmond opened the championships with a pair of wins over Metro League rivals,
defeating Coquitlam Metro Ford and Delta Coastal Selects by 2-1 scores. It was then a preview of the final Saturday as the girls played Upper Island to a scoreless draw. Richmond F.C. roster included: Megan Estrada, Sammi Seaborn, Harmony Bulloch, Gabby Lee, Kara Moscovitz, Allison Carver, Samantha Trueman, Izzy Loschiavo, Bella Lawson, Morgan Flynn, Samantha Mah, Grace Stephenson, Alex Legge, Keanna Foster, Leora Bloom, Kayla Seaborn, Kayla Nimchuk and Reiko Bohmert. Richmond F.C. was coached by Sean Lawson and Richmond Girls Soccer staff coach Brent Branker. At the Provincial “B” Cup Girls Championships in South Surrey, the U17 Richmond Force capped their outstanding campaign with a 2-1 win over Langley United in the bronze medal game. The Force just missed out on a berth in the cup final after going undefeated in pool play with a 1-0-2 record. Cowichan Valley advanced with a 2-0-1 record. Richmond played the eventual silver medalists to a 3-3 draw and also tied Guildford AC 2-2, while defeating the Kootenay Storm 6-1. The U13 Galaxy nearly reached the podium too, falling 1-0 to Bays United in the bronze medal game. It was the girls’ only loss of the championships after finishing second in their group with a 1-0-2 record that included a 2-1 win over Williams Lake and scoreless draws against group winner Surrey United Hurricanes and Kelowna United.

Alisha Lau crowned B.C. Junior Girls champion Quilchena golfer headed to Colorado University on a fullride scholarship
A
lisha Lau’s summer just got a little more hectic before she embarks on her NCAA golf career at the University of Colorado and she doesn’t mind one bit. The 17-year-old Quilchena junior and JN Burnett Secondary graduate is the 2017 B.C. Junior Girls champion after a dominant four days on the Okanagan Golf Club’s Bear Course in Kelowna. Lau opened with a ladies’ course record five-under 67 and never looked back — cruising to a nine-under total and a 10-shot victory. She not only will lead the B.C. team into next month’s Canadian Junior Girls Championship in Ontario, she also learned she was named to Team B.C. for the Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg — July 28Aug. 13. She got that bit of good news from Team B.C. coach Keri Moffat, who happens to be a teaching pro at Mayfair Lakes. “It’s something that’s been on my mind for quite a while. I really wanted this so it’s just great news,” said Lau who will be headed to Colorado on a full-ride scholarship soon after nationals. A disciple of the Rob Houding Golf Academy, she was never challenged after her

record-breaking opening round. She led from wire-to-wire, taking an eight-shot lead into the final round, eventually extending it to a 10-shot victory thanks to a bogey-free two-under 70 on Friday.
Whereas she said winning the event feels “unreal,” it became apparent pretty early on that her biggest competitor was going to be herself, and that’s how she viewed it during her final round, in which she put on
a clinic of tee-to-green golf. “Not like it’s a bad thing, but I wasn’t feeling the pressure of playing,” said Lau. “I was just going out to compete for myself. To win the tournament is unreal and crazy and it’s a great feeling to know that, even though I had some injuries, I put my head down and did some work afterwards and I was able to come here and play well.” Lau already has experience attending multi-sport competitions. She was a member of the B.C. team that won gold at the 2015 Western Canada Games in Alberta. Other notable scores in Kelowna included Lau’s Quilchena teammate Karen Zhang finishing in fourth place. The 2015 B.C. Bantam Girls champion fired rounds of 74-71-75-74. Meanwhile, a pair of Vancouver brothers who play out of the Richmond Country Club made plenty of noise at the B.C. Junior Boys Golf Championship at the Squamish Golf and Country Club. Christian Zalli held off his younger brother Ilirian and Victoria’s Keaton Gudz for a two-shot victory. The Zalli brothers were grouped together for the final round and it came down to the last hole when Christian’s par was enough to seal the win. They both will represent B.C. at the Canadian Junior Boys Championship, July 31-Aug. 3 in Ontario. Other local scores included Keith Ng of Mayfair Lakes finishing tied for 19th after rounds of 76-74-76-78. – with files from Bryan Outram/British Columbia Golf
