quiet, residential area of Richmond was turned into a crime scene Tuesday morning after the victim of a shooting was taken to hospital. Richmond RCMP cordoned off the area around a detached home on Waterton Drive at Malahat Avenue – close to No. 3 Road and Steveston Highway. The shooting, say police, took place in the 7800 block of Waterton Drive shortly before 6 a.m., and by 8 a.m. the small

street was closed off to the public. According to the RCMP, one victim was taken to hospital with serious injuries. It’s not clear whether it was a man or woman or whether they resided at the home in question. There is also no word on whether the shooting was targeted or if the victim is known to police. “This is an active and unfolding investigation,” said acting Cpl. Adriana Peralta. “We want to stress to the public that we take their safety seriously and have engaged every available resource to investigate this incident and ensure their safety.” A local resident, who didn’t want to give

her name, told the Richmond News that she heard some kind of noise early Tuesday morning, but “didn’t think more about it” until police taped off the street near her home. A police dog and handler were inspecting the area around the home, while other investigators came and went from the residence. More details are expected to be released later. Anyone with information regarding the incident is being asked to contact Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 or CrimeStoppers anonymously at 1-800222-8477.

Affordable units coming GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter

Richmond condo prices still breaking records Realtor: One-bedroom units are most in demand Daisy Xiong

Staff Reporter dxiong@richmond-news.com

he Richmond condo market continues to heat up as more local buyers enter the market. The Real Estate Board of Metro Vancouver (REBMV) released its July data last Thursday, showing that the average condo price in Richmond has now reached a record of $567,117 ($632 per square foot), a two-per-cent rise from June and a 27-percent rise compared to the same time last year. “The Richmond condo market is as hot as it has never been. It has been rising in the past year and is now reaching a peak,” said Steve Saretsky, a realtor and real estate blogger. The sales-to-active-listings ratio of condos in Richmond is as high as 80 per cent, according to Saretsky, which means that eight out of 10 condos are sold on the market. “That’s a very hot seller’s market,” he said, explain-

ing that a market with over 20 per cent sales-to-active listings ratio is considered a seller’s market. “The condo market is so hot because it is now driven by local buyers and most of them can only afford condos,” he said. Saretsky pointed out the most in-demand properties are one-bedroom condos, since many first-time buyers choose a one-bedroom unit as a realistic way to break into the housing market. He predicts the condo market will keep going up in the short term, “But there is a limit to how much people can pay, especially in a local-driven market. “The price can’t keep going up like this. Buyers will tire themselves out. The market will reach a point and start to stabilize, like what happened to detached houses after June 2016.” The market for condos and detached houses in Richmond is increasingly heading in different directions, a trend Metro

Vancouver has been seeing over the past a few months. The benchmark of a detached house in Richmond was $1,682,000 in July, a 1.7-per-cent decrease from last year. The number of detached houses sold in July was 104, marking a drop from 122 in July 2016 and was 26-per-cent lower than the 10-year average. “Most of the price declines and softness in the market are from higherend luxury homes,” said Saretsky, who believes the weakened detached house market is a result of the 15-per-cent foreign buyer tax that was implemented by the provincial government a year ago. “It has prevented some streams of foreign capital from entering the expensive detached house market.” Also driven by local buyers, the Richmond townhouse market is rising steadily, with a benchmark price of $787,500, a 9.7 per cent rise from a year ago.

new 80-unit subsidized apartment building will be constructed at the foot of No.2 Road Bridge near Dover Park beginning in spring 2018. The provincial government announced the project is in partnership with the City of Richmond and housing provider Pathways Clubhouse Society. The units are intended to house lowto-moderate-income residents as well as adults with mental health challenges. “This will make an enormous difference in the lives of those living with mental health issues to have access to community, hope and a future that is rich with purpose and respect,” said Dave MacDonald, Pathways executive director in a statement. The province will contribute $12 million in cash and $10.4 million in financing while the city will be contributing $2.2 million in cash and providing the land, which is valued at $5.8 million. Mayor Malcolm Brodie said the project is reflective of the city’s Affordable Housing Strategy, which aims to leverage development fees to create partnerships with

senior governments and non-profit housing providers. The apartment will be immediately west of the bridge, built between existing townhouses and apartments. A new elementary school will soon be constructed immediately south of the building, at Dover Park. The land is considered the last undeveloped remnants of city-owned land from the historic Brighouse Estates. To the east, across No. 2 Road, is the River Green luxury condo development and Richmond Olympic Oval. “We held back this parcel specifically for future affordable housing use. The future is now,” explained city spokesperson Ted Townsend, by email. The provincial funds, announced in April, came from a $500-million fund for affordable housing announced in 2016 by the BC Liberal government. Pathways already owns and operates the 24-unit townhouse complex Alexandra Court. It provides subsidies for some individuals and works alongside BC Housing with others in a “rent geared to income” program. Its office and clubhouse will soon move from Elmbridge Way to a new one at Storeys, a new outlet for social service agencies in Richmond on Granville Avenue.

Habitual rescuer saves again Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

he man making a habit of saving stricken animals on Richmond’s roads has done it again. Last December, the Richmond News reported how Jeff Rai risked his own safety to help an injured dog lying prostrate on No. 5 Road near Westminster Highway. Last Monday at about 8:30 p.m., Rai was at it again, this time stopping traffic on No. 5 Road to come to the aid of a family cat, which was still alive, but couldn’t move due to injuries presumably sustained by a car. After trying to call the local animal shelter,

Rai decided to pull the cat to the safety of the sidewalk. Dashcam footage from his car shows the animal lover carrying out the rescue. After about 10 minutes of comforting the cat, two people, claiming to be the animal’s owners, arrived with “tears in their eyes,” according to Rai. “The cat seemed to spring to life, got up and ran and hid close by. But the couple finally got hold of it and took it away; it seemed to be okay.” Rai said drivers speeding up and down No. 5 Road continues to be a major issue for public safety on that stretch. “Somebody needs to address the speed on this road, it’s crazy,” he added.

ew 2016 census data on families and language show Richmond continues to lose native English speakers, gain Chinese speakers and remain grounded in marriage and family as it continues to age. Since 2011, Richmond – which now has an official population of 198,309 – has lost 4,110 people who identify English as their mother tongue. English speakers number 65,350 and now constitute 33.1 per cent of the city, whereas in 2011 they made up 36.7 per cent (69,460 speakers). Over the past five years, the number of people who speak neither English nor French has risen 12 per cent, from 19,740 to 22,110. As a percentage of the population, 11.2 per cent of residents cannot speak an official language in this city (the national rate is 1.9 per cent). Meanwhile, English-French bilingualism is on a downward trend by a hair, with 9,615 such speakers. Richmond’s French-English rate is roughly one-quarter that of Canada. On the upswing are Chinese speakers – Cantonese and Mandarin. In 2011, 75,520 Richmondites claimed Chinese as a mother tongue. That number is now 88,455. Cantonese speakers (43,295) slightly outpace Mandarin ones (39,450). Across Canada eight per cent of all Cantonese speakers reside in Richmond, which represents 0.6 per cent of the country of 35.2 million. Between 2011 and 2016 Tagalog speakers (primarily from The Philippines) went from 7,305 to 7,780, whereas Punjabis lost a bit of ground, going from 5,795 speakers to 5,250. Aside from one’s mother tongue, the census also counted

what languages are most spoken at home. English barely remains the language most spoken at home (90,050 speak only English and 19,820 speak English and another language). There are 70,455 Richmondites who speak Chinese at home. English remains the city’s common language, with 174,345 able to communicate in it to some degree. Meanwhile, Richmondites continue to show a strong commitment to marriage and children. The number of married/common-law residents to non-partnered residents (over age 15) was 94,525 to 69,305, respectively. Richmond was above the national average for folks living as a couple (59.5 per cent to 57.6 per cent). In 2016, 92.5 per cent of persons living in a couple were married, while 7.5 per cent were living common-law. Across Canada the rates are 78.7 per cent and 21.3 per cent, respectively. Some of 48,260 couples identified as same sex. Notably, Vancouver had 4,110 same-sex couples. Nationwide there are 72,880. In Richmond, 58.5 per cent of families have children; in Vancouver that rate dropped to 47.3 per cent; across Canada 51.1 per cent of families have children. Of Richmond families with children, 47 per cent have one child. From 2006 to 2016 data show household sizes shrinking, from 3.0 people per household to 2.7. Richmond has 9,710 single parents, of whom 8,075 are women. If you are a young adult, age 20-34, you’re likely living in Richmond with your parents (52.9 per cent). Those in Vancouver have spread their wings a bit more (only 25.1 per cent live with parents). Across Canada, it’s 34.7 per cent. The 2016 census data on languages and families was the third set of data released by Statistics Canada this year. Other data included households and population. Data on income, immigration, mobility, education and industry will be released by the year’s end.

ichmond-Queensborough MLA Jas Johal has bolted out of the gates as a rookie politician in Victoria. After briefly being named the Minister of Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services before the B.C. Liberals lost confidence in the House, last month Johal was named opposition critic to the Ministry of Jobs, Trade and Technology headed by NDP Minister Bruce Ralston. “I’m excited about the opportunity. I spent a lot of my journalistic career covering the economy,” said Johal. He’s also considering throwing his hat into the B.C. Liberals’ leadership race following the resignation of former premier Christy Clark. “It’s not official. I’m considering it. I wanted to lend a voice certainly to Generation X and Millennials in regards to their concerns to policy issues,” said Johal, a former GlobalBC television reporter and international correspondent who changed careers in late 2014 to become a spokesperson for the BC LNG Alliance. “In nine out of 10 provinces in Canada, Gen-Xers and Millennials outnumber Baby Boomers. Their concerns have to be addressed. Affordability, housing, daycare, transportation. We need to do a better job addressing these issues,” said Johal. Johal, who considers himself socially liberal and a centrist, said he comes in as “an

outsider,” which could be considered a good thing considering the controversies that have surrounded the B.C. Liberals in past years. Johal has made headlines elsewhere. He was outspoken against the new NDP government a week into its job when he claimed Petronas cancelled an LNG plant near Prince Rupert (Pacific Northwest LNG proposal on Lelu Island) because of so-called anti-LNG statements (the need for more regulations, a higher carbon tax and need to address climate change) made by New Democrats while in Opposition. However, Petronas publicly denied the NDP had anything to do with the cancellation. And despite LNG markets being on a downward trajectory with a glut of supply, Johal maintained Petronas executives were “being diplomatic.” He added LNG executives “absolutely” factor in government intentions and statements as part of market conditions. Johal also took some heat in a report in TheTyee.ca that revealed that Liberal communications manager Ben Chin was given a “heads up” by Johal about the August 2014 Mount Polley tailings spill. “Just finished talking to Jas... it’s just a heads up, not an interview request. He tells me the pictures at 6 will be very graphic. Imperial should get out in front,” Chin wrote. Johal dismissed the notion he was assisting the government in its communications plan, saying he was telling Chin the government would need to make a statement. On May 9, Johal won his riding by just 263 votes (7,525 to 7,262) over another rookie candidate, Aman Singh of the NDP.

More trees save money: Climate expert GRAEMEWOOD Staff Reporter

GWOOD@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

new study out of the University of British Columbia reinforces the value of trees in suburban neighbourhoods, this time connecting Mother Nature’s greenery to energy efficiency. Dr. Andreas Christen, who studies microclimates at University of B.C., used computer programs to simulate what happens to wind if all significant trees are cut down. “People will often think a big tree is a nuisance; it can fall down in a storm. We have to say, no, they benefit from these trees. Not only are they an aesthetic element but they reduce the cost of heating and cooling and make the climate around us more comfortable,” said Christen. “We can show that trees are able to reduce wind speed by a factor of half.” Christen found that cutting down trees can thus impact the comfort level of a pedestrian but also increase one’s energy bill significantly, particularly in single-family homes and townhouses. “The heating demand is much higher if you have a lot of wind. Trees absorb some of this force from the atmosphere. If the building (home)

has lower wind speeds then there’s less heat loss,” explained Christen. He found that with less wind speed and the shading factor of trees in the summer, a home can save about 10 to 15 per cent in cooling costs. He said even bare branches can mitigate wind in the winter, thus putting less of a chill on homes. “So you actually save money having trees around,” exclaimed Christen. Christen studied a Vancouver neighbourhood and replicated its trees into a 3D computer model using laser technology from an aircraft. He simulated wind hitting the homes in a tree-lined neighbourhood and compared the velocities to a model

without trees. Importantly, he noted trees also pick up air pollutants so tree-lined highways can trap smog in the corridors. The same applies to downtown cores with tall buildings. But that sword is double-edged because trees can mitigate wind, which can swirl between buildings. “The optimum place to have trees is in a residential zone. Trees are not beneficial next to highways,” said Christen. “The best strategy is to have trees all over the city and trees that are taller than the buildings, which is typically the case in Richmond. Trees absorb the windstorms” that often hit the city. When asked about trees that fall over and the dangers they pose, Christen said properly planted trees are sturdy and the benefits outweigh the risks. In 2015, a drought caused soils to dry more than usual and several trees fell over. This was an unusual situation, noted Christen. He’s also quantified the impact of carbon uptake by neighbourhood trees compared to the amount of pollution we create and found the results “rather depressing.” “It’s less than one per cent of Vancouver emissions. So, It’s not a big motivator in terms of carbon intake,” he said.

Fireworks display disrespectful Dear Editor, While our province is experiencing unprecedented wildfires, and the Richmond News, too, had a front page story on cigarette butts causing fires in Richmond, it was very disheartening to see that the Celebration of Light went on uninterrupted, with all those incendiary fireworks going on at English Bay. It looked like a rather contemptuous mockery of what was going on in the rest of B.C.

While many may say that it happens in English Bay with water all around (on a barge and all that), I can assure you that the VFD must have been on pins and needles lest one of those fireballs go awry and land on a patch of dry grass causing a fire in or around Stanley Park or nearby Point Grey, etc. We’re literally playing with fire, in a fire-prone area. I know some may say, it is the City of Vancouver’s jurisdiction, but we are right there too and should a fire have been

caused, Richmond resources would have been surely called for. I do not suggest cancelling the show, but at least defer it until the B.C. wildfire situation gets better than the extreme level we are currently at, in respect for those whose livelihoods have simply evaporated overnight due to the same element of fire these guys are celebrating. Rommel R. Coelho (M.Tech) Richmond

Yes, tractor is a waste Dear Editor, Re: “Was tractor really worth it?” Letters, Aug. 4. In answer to Donald Flintoff’s letter, no — the tractor was not worth it. Consider, the city will demand total property taxes from 55 $300,000 residential properties to pay for the $50,000 tractor. This equates to the total property tax from 33 $500,000 homes or 17 $1-million residential properties, without adjusting for homeowner grants funded by provincial taxpayers. Perhaps use of a few shovels and wheelbarrows could achieve the necessary tasks while simultaneously providing fitness benefits at much less cost than working out at the Oweful (Oval). Recent fires in Richmond resulting from cigarette debris are a disgrace. Do we not have anti-littering bylaws with significant financial penalties? I agree wholeheartedly with Lilian Tiro on the issue of accumulated trash around bus stops. Sadly, Lilian, apparently it is too difficult for many to walk a few more steps to stump those butts and place garbage in the trash. That chore is everyone else’s responsibility. May I suggest enforcement of significant fines (starting at $500 and escalating with subsequent offences) for violations (regardless of how small the item) coupled with public shaming after the second offence? City taxpayers will appreciate the new source of revenue and reduced city maintenance costs. I hope city management is listening. Ken McLennan Richmond P.S. The above tax revenue details are based on the 2017 Richmond residential mill rate of 3.01422: A $300,000 home attracts taxes of $904; 27 $500,000 homes, $1,507.11; and $1-million homes, $3,014.22 each.

Rabbits are pets, too Dear Editor, Re: “New animal hospital gets large loan,” The News, Aug. 4. Kudos for RAPS in taking progressive action for the welfare of dogs and cats, and thanks to the City of Richmond, Applewood Nissan and Vancity for their funding partnerships. However, there is much-needed attention required for the feral rabbits in Richmond. Yet, it doesn’t appear that any accommodation, care, or consideration has been given to these highly intelligent and neglected creatures. Rabbits are the third most popular pet, but irresponsible or ignorant owners are disposing them on public lands, and then they multiply. And this rabbit abandonment issue is not limited to Richmond but occurs in multiple jurisdictions across B.C. Pets are not limited to just dogs and cats; there are other lovable crea-

tures as well. I strongly urge the City of Richmond, Richmond Auto Mall, and Vancity to consider appropriate funding partnerships and space for a rabbit sanctuary, and that a skilled rabbit organization oversee the care of feral rabbits. They are just as worthy of attention as dogs and cats. Having lived with dogs and a rabbit, I can attest to the social, loving, and highly intelligent nature of rabbits. Dr. Patricia Tallman Langley

COMMUNITYin Focus Colourful characters to run wild at Maritime Fest Live entertainment a big part of fun at Britannia Shipyards

ikki the Rat, Lulu the Mermaid, the Shady Isle Pirates and numerous other salty dogs, scallywags and creatures of the deep will be on the loose this Saturday and Sunday at the 14th annual Richmond Maritime Festival. Surprise encounters are a big part of the entertainment at the event, which is being presented by the Port of Vancouver.

n Arrrgh matey, there will be pirates galore, along with other live entertainment, at the Richmond Maritime Festival, Aug. 12-13 at Britannia Shipyards National Historic site. Photo submitted

Pop-up entertainment will occur throughout the eight-acre Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site. Another popular highlight is the group of Shady Isle Pirates, who will be found pillaging and parlaying along Britannia’s 600-foot dock and throughout the site. They will also be launching the alwayshilarious mini-brigs (imagine pirate ships the size of a clown car, on water – with cannons). There’s also plenty of live music and other entertainment on the festival’s multiple stages, including a headline performance on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. by local rockers Good For Grapes. Celtic folk-rock trio Tiller’s Folly; the folkrock mash-up sounds of the Halifax Wharf Rats; bluegrass favourites Lonesome Town Painters; and Vancouver’s “First Lady of Uke,” Daphne Roubini and Black Gardenia are also part of the eclectic mainstage mix. There will also be First Nations dancers, Chinese choral music and Bhangra. Festival-goers can tour the numerous historic buildings, including B.C.’s oldest shipyard. Many of the historic buildings on site have been restored and feature engaging and interactive displays about B.C.’s maritime history. Meanwhile, the new Our Coastal Communities exhibit in the Seine Net Loft, which shows how grassroots community efforts are helping to combat the issue of plastic and other waste being dumped into oceans, lakes and rivers. The Richmond Maritime Festival will run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 12, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 13. Admission is free.

he art of wooden boat building will feature prominently at Richmond’s 14th annual Maritime Festival this weekend at Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site. Dubbed by the City of Richmond as a “festival within a festival,” wooden boat enthusiasts and visitors alike will be privy to a number of free wooden boat displays and related activities organized by the city and Britannia Heritage Shipyard Society. “Historically, boats were built out of wood all over the world and certainly on the West Coast. Very few

wooden boats are built today unless they are heritage projects. So it’s preserving maritime history,” said Simon Fawkes, vice-chair of the society. A number of ships will be tethered to a 600-foot dock, including the steam-powered sister ships, SS Master and Merrie Ellen, both built in 1922 in False Creek, and Ella McKenzie, a 38-foot wooden tug boat built in 1951. Also on display will be Providence, an 80-foot wooden sailboat owned and operated by Fawkes, a sea captain by trade. Providence was built in 1903 in Denmark to act as a seiner. Fawkes bought the ship earlier this year to use as a cargo and charter vessel.

Off of the dock, there will be “Wooden Boat Lane,” featuring more than a dozen exhibitors displaying the likes of wooden boats, kayaks and canoes. Another wooden boat element of the festival will be the Kids Cove area, which features activities for youth, such as the chance for them to assemble their own wooden boats and float them in a big tub. Wooden boat experts from around the region will be on hand to offer informative stories. Meanwhile, woodworker Tony Grove will provide live demonstrations of wooden boat building as he crafts a 12-foot Davidson Canoe. A 40-foot cedar strip traditional dugout canoe will also be under construction.

new program called the EXPLORE Project will be launched in the fall, allowing students to connect what they have learned at school with workplace skills. It comes after a successful initiative by the Richmond School District at Hugh Boyd secondary in April, when an eight-week class was held to help students explore their career goals and teach employable skills. “We’ve heard many parents saying there are gaps between school and getting a job, and they need programs to help the kids transitioning from high school to the adulthood,” said Catherine Kwan, project lead and district consultant. Different from career planning courses high schools usually offer, this project is a joint effort by three organizations – the school board, Avia Employment Services, and Developmental Disabilities Association. EXPLORE will provide students with as much career-related resources as possible. Plus, the classes are small, so programs can be individually tailored. The first class in April had just six students. “We wanted to make sure that everyone had a positive experience. We figured out each student’s needs. Some students don’t have an idea yet and we helped them explore their career interest; some students already knew what they were interested in and we went from there,” said Kwan. Attending class twice a week, students received lectures from career experts, training in career-related skills, such as sociable skills, research and career preparation, and exploration of their strengths. Students also went out for “job tasting” field trips to experience various job professions, ranging from Starbucks to the newsroom at CBC. They had the chance to talk to people from the industry and get first-hand information and advice. Kwan said one student discovered she wanted to pursue a career in graphic design and is now looking for a postsecondary program and work experience. The program also offered workshops to the parents on how to support their kids during this transition time. Kwan said the school board is going to launch another EXPLORE Project this fall. Enrolment notices for the program will be sent out through schools and interested students can also contact the school board for more information.

WE’VE GOT OUR FINGERS ON IT RICHMOND CELEBRATES CANADA 150

n Above, Natalie Korenic (right) and Ruth Taverner of Richmond Family Place are grateful for a $150 donation from RBC’s Broadmoor branch. In honour of Canada’s 150th, RBC has been running a campaign called ‘Make 150 Count.’ Each RBC branch has been giving out $150 to one young person in the community with a request to make a difference in the community using that money. Richmond Family Place used the money to purchase sports equipment and host a sports day, which Korenic said was a great success. ‘It was awesome to see a group of kids, some of whom did not share a common language, playing together, sharing and laughing,’ Korenic said. “I know that I made this $150 count and it is an investment that will continue to give many times over.” Photo submitted n Top right, artist Brian Minichiello hangs up his arwork for display at the Richmond Chinese Community Society’s Canada 150 Richmond Arts and Cultural Festival at Lansdowne Centre on July 29.

Math, science camp nurtures new minds

STEM Aces camp has Richmond students buzzing with excitement about ‘real-world’ learning ALANCAMPBELL Staff Reporter

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

NA, genetics, forensics, 3D printing and thermoelectric generators. If it sounds like the latest episode of CSI, then you couldn’t be further from the truth. In reality, all of the aforementioned fields of expertise were covered by 48 students, aged nine to 18, during the increasingly popular STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Aces camp at two Richmond secondary schools. Run by STEM Aces’ education leader and CEO, Olivia New, the program is run in partnership with the Richmond School District and has grown in stature since it started two years ago. The camp, run out of MacNeill and McNair secondaries, is now finished for the summer, but New told the Richmond News how she’s still buzzing with how excited the students were during the program. “The camp has left us all literate and a very happy-tired. This is truly some of the

most gratifying work we have had the pleasure to be involved in,” said New, a Richmond-based mom of two young children who has lectured in chemistry recently at UBC and Trinity Western University. “The STEM kids were all simply marvelous and superseded our expectations. We all, in fact, had a great deal to learn from one another. “Most amazing is the fact that these kids were in these enrichment, non-credit camps, actually giving the learning process their all.” The STEM camps are designed for a specific purpose: to show students how to integrate and apply the knowledge of math and science in order to create technologies and solutions for real-world problems using an engineering design approach. The younger students, said New, learned about DNA technologies in many fields like medicine, agriculture, and forensics from STEM experts and met distinguished speaker Dr. Grace Gohy, a genetics specialist. “They learned about hereditary disorders and gene therapy… and selective breeding of crops and livestock; cloning and lab

meat; and DNA fingerprinting for forensics. “The older group… had the opportunity to learn from Dr. John Grace, Officer to the Order of Canada, cited for his contributions as a chemical engineer, notably to the development of cleaner technology for industrial processes... “I believe the students came away with new knowledge about how to apply the ideas and had a real life referencing to education through meeting the presenters and going on the STEM tours,” New said. “They built a good network of mentorship and alliances with other students.”

he Sharing Farm is built on our volunteers. We started as a volunteer-run organization and volunteers still hold an integral role. There is a lot of work to be done on a farm, especially an organic farm. The weeds are persistent and return at an astounding pace; in the hot summer, watering is a constant concern and we always need many hands for harvesting. We have more than 1,000 volunteers a year and each one of them is important. The need for volunteers is especially strong when it comes to our annual Garlic Festival — the largest of its kind in Metro Vancouver — which is an important fundraiser for The Sharing Farm. Proceeds from the day allow us to continue to grow food for families in need. This year the festival falls on Sunday, Aug. 20.

■ Richmond 2003 Islanders capped an outstanding season with a gold medal performance at Softball B.C.’s U14B provincial championships in Surrey.

’03 Islanders crowned B.C.champs

ard work, dedication and sportsmanship continues to pay off in a huge way for the Richmond 2003B Islanders. The rep girls softball team is provincial champion for the second time in three years, this time capturing the U14B event — held July 14-16 at Sullivan Park in Surrey. Led by head coach Angie Hill and assistants Kyla McWiliam, Michelle Akizuki and Erin Turko, the Islanders were also winners of the U12B championships back in 2015 as the girls continue their impressive fastpitch journey over the past four seasons. The team includes: Gabriella Papillon, Kyla Sagert, Olivia Zahar, Taryn Hill, Kaitlyn Eng, Kayla Baxter, Kim Cho, Sarah Dawson, Emily Smith, Chloe Maher, Shae Sever and Tamryn Ward. Before even thinking about being on top of the podium, the Islanders first had to make it out of what was considered to be the most difficult

pool group in the championship. In round robin play, they secured wins over the Ridge Meadows ’03 Rage (13-1) and the Coquitlam Classics (8-0). It was then a pair of match-ups against opponents who were also considered title contenders. After falling 5-2 to the Surrey ’03 Storm, the Islanders came back strong in a must-win game the Langley ’03 Xtreme — getting ahead early in a 6-4 win. Their 3-1 record was good enough for fifth in the standings heading into the playoffs. Richmond would then face a strong Strawberry Vale Kryptonite team from Vancouver Island. The girls erased an early 1-0 deficit and eventually opened up a lead thanks to four runs, off six hits, in the third. The Kryptonite responded with three runs of their own in the top of the fourth before the Islanders pulled away for good in an 11-5 triumph. Up next was their friendly rival — ’03 Storm — for the second time in

the tournament. Surrey was nursing a 2-0 lead in the third when the Richmond bats came alive in a big way. A lead-off single by Papillon ignited a six-run inning and her team was on its way to a big 9-3 victory. The semi-finals saw the girls face the Prince George Thunderbirds. After two scoreless innings, the TBirds scored twice in the third. The Islanders stormed back in the fourth with four hits and a pair of walks to produce four runs and never look back. The girls added four more insurance runs in the bottom of the six to seal an 8-3 victory and a berth in the gold medal game against the Kelowna Heat. Richmond took a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the second of when the Okanagan champions threatened to break the game open. With one out and runners on second and third, Leung gave up an easy fly ball to Maher, in centre field who preceded to throw a strike to Smith at catcher

to nail the runner attempting to score — completing an outstanding double play. The Islanders kept chipping away at the Heat, scoring one run in each of the last four innings to take a 6-2 lead into the bottom of the seventh. The margin was trimmed to 6-4 when a fly ball to left field afforded the Islanders their first out. Sever then struck out the Heat’s lead-off batter and extinguished the rally with a simple pop up back to her to secure a 6-4 win and the provincial title. Extra Bases...

Spending summer with Sidney

t was one very special trip to Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia for Carter Chow. The Richmond hockey player was one of just three from B.C. accepted into The Sidney Crosby Hockey School — held July 10-14 in the Pittsburgh Penguins superstar’s hometown. The four-day camp costs $675, with all proceeds going to the Sidney Crosby Foundation, and attracts immense interest from across North America. Over 10,000 boys and girls, between the ages of 9-12, registered this year and only 160 were chosen to participate — with the mandatory half coming from Nova Scotia. The selection process included Chow having to write an essay on why he wanted to attend. He explained Nova Scotia is his mom’s

home province and his grandparents still live there. They had yet to see him play hockey. This was the third straight year he had applied. Crosby was on the ice with the players for every session, running drills and getting help from Colorado Avalanche’s Nathan McKin-

non, another native of Nova Scotia. There were also daily dryland sessions run by the Penguins strength and conditioning coach. The biggest thrill for Chow was getting to play on the same line as Crosby during a three-on-three scrimmage on the camp’s final day.
