n entire warehouse could have collapsed into the Fraser River, if not for two Steveston Harbour Authority workers on their fire boat. According to the harbour’s general manager, Jaime Da Costa, a loading wharf was completely destroyed and the warehouse partly ruined in a blaze Saturday evening, which caused the Richmond Maritime Festival to close early. The building that caught fire, said Da Costa, is actually the old Colonial Cannery building, built in 1895. Thankfully, she added, only a small portion will need repairs.

Celebration of life planned for Larsen Graeme Wood

Staff Reporter gwood@richmond-news.com

tireless advocate for Richmond’s tired, poor and huddled masses has passed away at the age of 85. Jennifer Larsen — who volunteered for a number of local social service agencies and churches and could often be found pounding the pavement helping the homeless in her spare time — will be remembered by family, friends and the public at a celebration of life at Minoru Senior Centre on Aug. 31 (1 p.m.). “If there was anything to do with people who needed help, she was there for them,” said lifelong friend Olive Bassett. “People came away from her feeling as if they had learned something. She was so interesting and varied in her thoughts. It was a pleasure to talk to her.” In 2012, Larsen and Bassett were honoured for their social service work with the Pioneer Award at the Ethel Tibbits Women of Distinction Awards. Larsen worked professionally as a journalist at the Vancouver Sun and raised three children — Tim, Eric and Karen. She was predeceased by her husband, Bruce. Larsen is best remembered by friends and family as caring and feisty. “I just loved her. She became my mentor,” said De Whalen, chair of the Richmond Poverty Response Committee. “She was feisty and not scared of saying what needed to be said. She took on city hall if there was an issue.” Bassett also used the term “feisty” to describe Larsen, who was a regular contributor at city council meetings on issues such as food security, farmland protection, affordable housing and mental health advocacy.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie described Larsen as someone with a “lively sense of humour” and “determined to make life better for those facing real difficulties.” It was mental health advocacy that Larsen was particularly fond of. Bassett said she first met Larsen on the family court committee in 1982. “She was into helping people who she felt had a sad life. And especially the children,” said Bassett. “She enjoyed people but she didn’t suffer fools. She knew what she wanted to work at and... I miss her very much,” said Bassett, 96, a former longtime Richmondite, who moved to Victoria two years ago. Whalen said she first met Larsen on the board of the Richmond Community Services Advisory Committee, where Larsen was an independent member appointed by the City of Richmond. That independence is what suited Larsen, said Bassett. “She was a wonderful person. Very private. And yet she did so much work in the community,” said Bassett. Whalen said Larsen will leave behind an important legacy for the community. “Her legacy? Don’t ignore people who are less fortunate than you and don’t assume Richmond is a rich city and there are no people in need. And, we need to change things for people who are less fortunate. She wanted to change things, and not just in the system, but also outside of it.” One of Larsen’s last acts of community work was to try and organize lunches for homeless and lowincome residents in Richmond. Whalen said Larsen became “incensed” when she recently learned there are outreach food programs that feed up to 700 people weekly in Richmond. That is why at the memorial, in lieu of flowers, donations of $10 or more will be accepted and applied towards those programs.

Fraudsters target female Chinese students DAISYXIONG Staff Reporter

She adds the fraud scheme doesn’t exclusively target female students, since a male friend of hers was contacted as well. Sun advises international students to be cautious and to contact their family members on a regular basis.

Delta stays with its preferred casino site Sandor Gyarmati Delta Optimist

elta is sticking to its preferred site for penny slots, despite Richmond’s objection. There’s been no word if the B.C. Lottery Corporation (BCLC) will go along with Delta’s choice of having a potential casino at the Town and Country Inn site, near the junction of Highways 17A and 99, even though it’s been last November since it was announced Delta was chosen as the preferred host for a new gaming facility south of the Fraser. Overseen by a third party fairness monitor, BCLC said its evaluation committee selected Delta based on a variety of factors, including strong market potential, community plans and transportation access. The gambling facility, which would have to go through the municipal approval process, would be a relocation of Surrey’s Newton Community Gaming Centre, currently a bingo hall. It would be expanded to include more gambling and entertainment options. Gateway Casinos Entertainment Ltd., the private-sector service provider of the Newton facility, would own or lease the facility in Delta on BCLC’s behalf, and operate it. When Delta council approved the Town and Country location, civic staff noted the potential gaming facility would require significant additional amenities, including a hotel, conference centre and restaurants, to support

Delta’s tourism strategy. However, BCLC “expressed concerns” about Delta’s preferred site following Richmond voicing opposition. BCLC stated the Town & Country site “is not a suitable location due to its distance from the identified market opportunity and its proximity to the River Rock Casino Resort.” Asked if other locations have been explored and the status of Delta’s facility, BCLC last week would only state they have no new information at this time. Mayor Lois Jackson said Delta maintains its location is the most suitable for a casino. “Council passed a resolution to that effect and we haven’t changed it,” Jackson said. A Richmond city report notes before Delta can approve a casino, it has an obligation under the Gaming Control Act to seek and consider input from the community and to consult on certain matters with local governments whose borders fall within five kilometres of the proposed gaming facility. The Richmond report also notes that although Delta wants a casino at the Town and Country Inn just south of the George Massey Tunnel, it may be located in an area east of Highway 91, south of the South Fraser Perimeter Road, west of King George Boulevard and north of Highway 10. Surrey and the Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) were also invited by BCLC to submit expressions of interest for a potential casino. The TFN did express interest but Surrey declined to do so.

OktoberfeSteveston aims Illicit drug to be even bigger, better deaths spike Alan Campbell

Staff Reporter acampbell@richmond-news.com

lans are afoot to make the secondannual OktoberfeSteveston bigger and better than last year’s success — but organizers need a little help to pull it off. The festival, which attracted around 2,000 participants last year, is a celebration of all things German – primarily beer and food – and is run by The Steveston Village Voice Society (SVVS). One of the organizers, Davood Khatami, said the society harbours hopes of stretching the event over three days, including brewery-sponsored “pavilions” dotted around local restaurants. However, he is appealing for sponsors and volunteers to come forward to take the second running of the event to a new level. “Lots of people got involved later on last year, but we need more help this time around if it is to grow,” said Khatami, who owns and operates Davood’s Bistro in the village. “The plan is to go around five to 10 local restaurants, which have a liquor licence, who will host an

OktoberfeSteveston pavilion; perhaps in association with a particular brewery. “We would like to start on the Friday, Sept. 29, in the evening, continuing through to Saturday and Sunday, with prizes and promotions, German music, and food.” Khatami has again applied to the City of Richmond to shut down No. 1 Road, from Moncton to Bayview, on Sept. 30, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. “There was no resistance last year from the n OktoberfeSteveston celebrates all things German – business owners; we had primarily food and beer.

ore people have died of illicit drug overdoses in Richmond during the first half of this year than all of last year, according to a recent report by the B.C. Coroners Service. To June 30, 15 people have died from illicit drugs in Richmond, whereas 14 died in 2016, indicating the city is no longer immune from what has become the greatest public health emergency in decades. In 2015, there were six such deaths in Richmond, resulting in one of the lowest death rates in a “health service delivery area” across the province. From 2007 to 2015, Richmond witnessed just 25 illicit drug overdose deaths. This year, 13 of 15 deaths were connected to the powerful opioid fentanyl. Across B.C., illicit drug deaths are up 88 per cent in 2017, compared to the first half of 2016 (780 to 414 deaths). “We are still seeing a significant increase in illicit drug overdose deaths, compared even with this time last year, and are continuing to lose loved and valued members of our communities at a tragic rate,” said Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe. “The drug supply is unsafe and anyone using illicit drugs is at high risk for overdose. I urge anyone using drugs, whether casually or regularly, not to use alone. According to the coroner, fentanyl-detected deaths “appear to account for the increase in illicit drug overdose deaths since 2012, as the number of illicit drug overdose deaths excluding fentanyl–detected has remained relatively stable since 2011 (average of 300 deaths per year).” The coroner said there appears to be no sign of the epidemic slowing since 2012, when there were 269 illicit drug overdose deaths in all of B.C.

Illegal dumping rises Daisy Xiong

Staff Reporter dxiong@richmond-news.com

he City of Richmond is urging residents to dispose of unused items at appropriate sites, with more illegal dumping incidents being reported in Richmond this year. “This year so far, the city has spent $150,000 over 316 instances of illegal dumping,” said Suzanne Bycraft, the city’s manager of Fleet and Environmental Programs. “In 2016, $168,000 was spent to deal with 550 instances. It all comes from taxpayers’ money.” In 2016, cities across Metro Vancouver reported 37,257 incidents of abandoned waste, with the most-frequently dumped items being mattresses, furniture, appliances, carpet, tires, green waste and large amounts of household garbage. More than half of the Richmond’s expenses on illegal dumping went to the handling and treatment of illegally dumped hazardous materials such as asbestos and pesticides, which cannot be disposed of in landfills, according to Bycraft. “We have to send the hazardous materials to special treatment sites and pay professional people to handle them properly, which is very costly,” added Bycraft. “But this should have been the responsibility of homeowners and construction contractors.” In 2016, about $70,000 was spent on special waste; in 2017 to date, the figure is $115,000. Bycraft said that illegally

dumped items are usually found at places such as a dead-end street, or on Triangle Road in rural Richmond. There are some “hot spots” in the city for illegal dumping, such as under the Canada Line bridge near the River Rock Casino. “It is very challenging to catch illegal dumpers, since they usually do it after hours and in (isloated) areas,” said Bycraft. The city has a reward program, where residents who provide information that leads to a bylaw conviction of the dumper can receive $200. The dumpers themselves, if caught, will be fined $1,000. Bycraft said much of the illegal dumping happens due to the lack of information and understanding of proper procedures.

Animal rescuer is a shining light Dear Editor, Re: “Habitual rescuer saves again,” News, Aug. 9. Kudos and karma credits to Jeff Rai for his efforts to save animals hit along No. 5 Road. Many times when an animal is struck by a vehicle, they are not dead, and other vehicles swerve

to avoid them, which could likely cause another accident. I live on No. 5 Road and slowing down to enter my driveway oftentimes feels as if I’m taking my life into my own hands. Something absolutely needs to be done about the speeding vehicles on this

stretch of road. Last, but certainly not least, if you hit an animal, it is your responsibility to stop and help it or move it to the side of the road if the accident was fatal. Animals sense fear and pain, just as we do. Trish McMurray Richmond

More to smoky sky than meets the eye Dear Editor, Blood red sunrise, blood red sunset, low visibility — the skies have been looking downright apocalyptic lately. Today has been an improvement, and I’m sure I am not the only one glad to see a hint of blue in the sky and shadows on the ground. While mostly sparked by natural causes, the severity of the forest fires can be traced back to climate change. Our winters are no longer cold enough to kill off the pine beetle, which leaves large swaths of standing dead trees. More rain falls over the winter

and spring than previously, which causes abundant plant growth. When this is followed by arid summers, plant growth dies and dries. Combined with the tinder dry dead pines, it’s a perfect recipe for forest fires. Now is a good time to think about climate change and what it means for us here in Richmond. We are fortunate to have the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), for our future food security. The ALR is a bank for arable land created over 40 years ago. It is not a requirement that

Sooty reminder of air we breathe Dear Editor, On Saturday, Aug. 12, the air started to feel a lot fresher. The smoke and haze that had enveloped Greater Vancouver for about 10 days was being swept away by a gusty wind. Together with the rain that fell overnight came a sample of what we’d been inhaling, leaving a sinister sooty pool on my deck floor. Sabine Eiche Richmond

Will black market touts pay the price? Dear Editor, Re: “Trunk Trade,” News, Aug. 11. Now that we know of the illegal activities going on in Richmond (i.e. Uber in Chinese and car trunk dealings in

food), what is going to be done about it? It seems to me, that if the law is broken, charges should be laid. Will this happen? Joanne Teraguchi Richmond

Sick of power outages Dear Editor, Dover Crescent residents are fed up with power outages. There have been six power outages in the past month, three of them in the past week. Residents of Dover Crescent in Richmond are afraid to take their elevators for fear of being trapped inside. Two large explosions on Lynas Lane power poles and still the problem persists. Apparently BC Hydro has surplus power. How about supplying some of it to us? Michael Paice, Richmond

the land must be farmed today, but rather that it is kept in reserve for agricultural purposes for when it is needed in the future. At the current pace of climate change affecting major foodgrowing regions, such as California, the ALR is widely seen as a prudent way to ensure we can produce our own food in the future. Since the ALR was created 44 years ago, farmland has been largely protected in Richmond. However, in the last handful of years, speculative development has threatened our bank of agricultural land.

Provincial guidelines recommend a single house with a maximum size of 5,382 square feet in Richmond (Zone 1 of the ALR). Our city council approved a bylaw that allows 10,764-square-foot houses in Richmond’s ALR, with the option to apply for additional square footage beyond that maximum.

Councillor has tunnel vision Dear Editor, Re: “Why wait until 2022 to deal with gridlock?” Letters, Aug. 11. Every time Richmond Coun. Carol Day writes a letter to the editor, I am motivated to respond and point out some of her nonsense regarding a twinned tunnel. It is well known that building a twinned tunnel will cause much more environmental damage than a new bridge, a point she doesn’t mention. A twinned tunnel only provides four lanes each way. One lane would be HOV, I assume, thus trucks and single-occupant cars would be using three lanes, just like we have today when the counter-flow lane is open. A twinned tunnel is virtually no improvement at all from what we have today and is short-sighted. She also suggests we consider

banning trucks during rush hour. That is a non-starter because truck drivers and their companies pay significant taxes to drive on roads. This idea to ban trucks will not work and is possibly illegal. And then she suggests the nonsensical idea of alternating truck use to odd or even days. You’ve got to be kidding. Coun. Day has “tunnel vision” when it comes to her twinned tunnel solution. She needs to open her eyes. The best solution is to continue with the new 10-lane bridge with space for future rapid transit such as light rail. Anything less than this solution will be short-lived and we’d soon be back to more gridlock and increased traffic that a tiny twinned tunnel can’t handle. Keith Munro Delta

Kids' books reviews

he Richmond Public Library (RPL) is the place to be this summer. If your child is age seven to 10, bring them into the Brighouse branch for drop-in Reading Buddies. The program runs each Thursday from 3:304:15 p.m. Children will be paired with a teen “big buddy” who can help them practise their reading skills. For more information about RPL’s summer events, visit the library’s website at YourLibrary.ca. Here are this week’s book reviews:

n Aaron, age 11.

Title: George Author: Alex Gino Reviewed by: Janice, 11 This book is about a boy named George who is transgender and wants to be a girl. Sadly, he has to keep this a secret. Then, George’s teacher n Gabriella, age 10 announces they will be doing a play based on Charlotte’s Web. George has to find out how to tell them he’s a girl and wants to be Charlotte. I like this book because it shows how George faces all these difficult problems, like when the teacher refuses to let George be Charlotte for the day just because he’s a boy. And that it is okay to be different because everyone deserves to be treated equally because everyone is n Janice, age 11. unique in different ways.

Title: Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls Author: Ann M. Martin Reviewed by: Gabriella,10 This book is the second Baby-Sitters Club book and is about how Claudia is frightened about the phantom caller, a person who steals jewelry and makes mysterious phone calls. I liked this book because it’s entertaining and fun. It’s got a few scary parts that are exciting. I like how the characters have interesting personalities. I give this book five stars. Title: Uprooted Author: Lynne Reid Banks Reviewed by: Aaron, 11 This book is about a 10-yearold girl named Lindy who goes on a voyage to Canada with her cousin and mother when their hometown in England is bombed during World War II. I like this book because it explains about how several families in England felt during World War II. Many families panicked when Hitler dropped the first bombs. Children had to leave their fathers, uncles, aunts and grandparents behind to live in a free country. They faced their challenges with courage and hope. I give this book 4.5 stars.

efore opening their doors to the public, business owners must make a bevy of decisions, not the least of which is where the business will be located. A great location may not make a business, but a poor location can certainly break it. As a result, business owners must take their time when choosing a location for their businesses, carefully considering a host of factors long before opening their doors to their Xrst customers. The elements that constitute the “right location” vary depending on the business, but the following are a few tips for business owners as they look for the right location for their businesses. • Consider your potential neighbours. Neighbouring businesses can help or hinder a business. New business owners may not want to open

their businesses where they are surrounded by the competition, which may already have a well-established customer base, making it difXcult for new operations to gain their own footholds in the market. But a location where the surrounding businesses are complementary can make it easier for new ventures to develop a customer base. • Consider your potential employees. Unless a business Xgures to be especially small, owners are going to have employees, who will need to get to work each day. Look for an area that’s capable of providing potential employees. If your business is located in a remote area, you may have to pay workers more to cover the costs of their commutes, and that can stretch your budget. A location that’s accessible via public transportation is beneXcial in various ways, making

it easier for your employees to get to work and keeping your labour costs down as a result, while simultaneously making your store more accessible to potential customers. • Look into the safety and security of a neighbourhood. Crime rate should be considered. Employees should feel safe getting to and from work each day, and customers should want to come to your location without worrying about their personal safety. In addition, business owners want to be sure their businesses are not targeted by criminals or vandals when they go home each night. • Anticipate the potential for expansion. Business owners must plan for the best and worst before opening their doors, and that’s something to consider when choosing a location for your business. — Metro Creative

Spread your good news

oday’s entrepreneurs face an uphill battle when starting their businesses. Whereas the competition in business has always been stiff, many trailblazers of yesteryear typically competed against only other locally owned businesses. But thanks to the Internet, businesses are now competing on a national, if not global, stage, making it harder than ever for businesspersons to draw attention to their products and services. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, roughly 66 per cent of small businesses will survive their Xrst two years. While that number should calm the nerves of entrepreneurs familiar with the widely circulated statistic that eight out of 10 small businesses fail, it’s important to note that the Xveyear survival rate of establishments opened between 1994 and 2010 was just about 50 per cent. A 50-per-cent chance to be in business Xve years after opening is certainly better than a 20-per-cent chance, but a 50/50 shot at being in business Xve years from now is unlikely to excite many prospective business owners. When starting out, small business owners must Xnd ways to make their presence felt in crowded marketplaces. Though the following strategies might take time and some trial and error before a business starts to draw some attention, small business owners can greatly increase their

chances of being successful by committing to marketing. • Start early. Entrepreneurs need not wait until the doors of their businesses open to start spreading the word. In fact, waiting until the doors open may be too late. Take to social media sites, particularly the ones your target customer base is most likely to use, and establish a proXle of yourself and your business. Update the status of your business at least once per week as you draw closer to your grand opening. • Start blogging. Blogging about your business and posting content to that blog that’s easily shared is another effective way to spread the word about your products and services. When creating content, make sure it can be easily shared through Facebook and other social media platforms.

• Encourage reviews. Few modern consumers make a purchase without Brst reading some product reviews. A recent survey from Jupiter Research found that 77 per cent of people take the time to read reviews before making an online purchase. • Don’t forget your local newspapers who can support you through advertising and editorial features. They cover your audience and have the know-how to reach them in a compelling and relevant manner. • Seek help from family and friends. Friends and family members are wonderful assets for small business owners. Ask friends and family to spread the word about your business via social media and traditional word of mouth. — Metro Creative

VOICESon Gardening

It's time to protect our busy little bees LYNDAPASACRETA Garden Club

Blending up good times for a great cause.

FRIDAY AUGUST 18

recently had the pleasure of showing a dozen four- and five-year-olds, from Oak Wisdom Learning Academy’s outdoor program, the beautiful gardens of Paulik Park. One of the children noticed my Richmond Butterflyway Ranger T-shirt I was wearing and told me that his mother’s friend is also a Richmond Butterflyway Ranger. At that point, I realized we were making a difference. These children wanted to know all of the plants that helped our pollinators. They told me how important bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators are to our community. With the removal of habitat by homeowners converting gardens into concrete wasteland and chemical treatments in our landscaping, many of our pollinators are in decline. Butterflyhabitat is somewhat complicated as they require host plants to lay their eggs and feed their larvae and then nectar plants to provide food for the adults. In March, the David Suzuki Foundation began recruiting eager volunteers in Victoria, Richmond, Toronto, Markham and Montreal to be part of a Butterflyway Project to create highways of habitat for butterflies and bees right through our own neighbourhoods. Members from the Richmond Garden Club stepped up to the challenge and assisted in constructing Butterflyways in Richmond’s Thompson, Steveston, Broadmoor, Shellmont, City Centre, Cambie West, Cambie East and East Richmond neighbourhoods. City of Richmond’s Paulik Park was adopted by the Richmond Garden Club in 2008. Today, with approximately 20 Richmond Garden Club and community volunteers, we maintain the perennial flower beds in this beautiful park. We have planted Butterflyway gardens, ensuring both the host plants and nectar plants are available in our butterfly habitat. Host plants such as mallow, hollyhock, snapdragons, sweet fennel, milkweed, willow and aspen trees give our little caterpillars lots to munch on.

Mixed in with our food source for caterpillars are the nectar plants to feed the adult butterflies. Verbena, common sunflower, purple coneflower, zinnia, yarrow, Joe Pye Weed, asters, phlox and many other plants keep our butterflies well fed. While we work in Paulik Park, we enjoy watching the many pollinators buzz around us enjoying a nectar feast in amongst beautiful flowers. Colourful butterflies such as western tiger swallowtail, woodland skippers, Lourquin’s admiral, Anna’s and rufous hummingbirds, bumblebees with their legs full of pollen, and many different species of bees call Paulik Park their home. How lucky for us! So out of the mouths of our four- and five-year-olds, we need to protect the homes of our pollinators to make sure that we have food for us to eat. You can build your own pollinator patch in your home garden. Visit Butterflyway.DavidSuzuki.org for more information about the Butterflyway Project. Visit some of our Butterflyway Rangers who will be volunteering at the Sharing Farm’s Ninth Annual Garlic Festival, Aug. 20, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Terra Nova Rural Park. Lynda Pasacreta is the president of the Richmond Garden Club. For more information visit RichmondGardenClub.ca

Richmond helped Team B.C. to a record medal haul at the Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg. The two-week competition concluded Sunday with B.C. finishing second in the medal standings with a best-ever total of 146 — placing second to only Ontario (212) and ahead of Quebec (138). It was the last medal handed out at the Games that broke B.C.’s previous record and that came in women’s softball, just prior to the closing ceremonies. B.C. routed Alberta 10-3 for its fourth consecutive gold medal on the diamond. The team featured a pair of Richmond Softball products — Sierra Sherritt and Jordan Britten-Yung. B.C. went 8-1 in round-robin play then avenged its only loss with a 3-1 semifinal win over unbeaten Ontario. Sherritt attends UBC where she plays for Team B.C. head coach Gord Collings. Britten-Yung enjoyed an impressive season with the Douglas College Royals last season, earning first team all-conference honours for the second straight year. She was B.C.’s starting catcher. Both girls also won gold two years earlier at the Western Canada Games. In golf, Alisha Lau capped an outstanding competitive summer by winning a pair of silver medals. The Quilchena junior entered Friday’s final round with a one shot lead but was not feeling 100 percent. She fired a 76 to finish at 1-over and six shots behind Quebec’s Céleste

today was a grind for me,” Lau said. “I kind of fell back in the middle of the back nine and was just trying to stay in the silver spot. I’m not too sure what happened. It was pretty warm today but I had my jacket on and everything. I was feeling a little light-headed. I did my best. There was nothing I could do about it.” Lau also helped B.C. finish second to Quebec in the team competition. Her summer began with a dominating victory at the B.C. Junior Girls Championship. She then placed sixth at the Canadian Junior Championship in Ontario before making her way to Winnipeg days later. The Burnett Secondary graduate will soon be heading to Boulder for her freshman season at the University of Colorado. In the pool, a trio of Richmond Rapids Swim Club members helped B.C’s impressive haul of 52 medals. Amanda McCallum and Ethan Chan were members of respective gold medal winning 4x200 free relay teams. McCallum added a silver in the 4x50 free relay and was fifth in the 200 free individual event. Matthew Crawford also reached the podium with silver in the 4x50 medley relay. On the tennis court, Jesse Gong was a member of the silver medal winning B.C. team in the mixed event. B.C. lost 4-2 to Ontario. In men’s volleyball, Shawn Zhao helped B.C. earn bronze with a thrilling five-set win over Quebec. B.C. jumped out to an early 2-0 lead before Quebec came roaring back to win the next two. The deciding set ended up 17-15 for B.C. - With files from B.C. Golf

Vorster named to Team Canada

ourtney Vorster is in national team colours again this summer. The Richmond blueliner was among 24 players named to Hockey Canada’s U18 team that will be competing in a three-game series against the United States in Lake Placid, NY starting on Thursday. The roster was announced following an eight-day selection camp in Calgary that wrapped up on the weekend. Vorster, 17, is one of five returning players from last year’s three-game summer series against the U.S. She is also one of four who helped Canada win silver at the 2017 U18 World Hockey Championship last January. She played rep boys hockey up until two years ago when she took her promising career to Shattuck-St. Mary’s — a renowned hockey boarding school in Minnesota. She was a member of the Sabres’ Girls Prep team that won U.S. U19 Tier One National title last spring, recording four points in five games. The Team Canada selection camp featured 42 players. Vorster and goaltender Kendra Woodland of Kamloops are the lone B.C. players named to the team. The series with the U.S. continues with games on Friday and Sunday. All three games will be played in the 1980 Herb Brooks Arena where the United States stunned the world 37-years ago with their gold medal victory in Olympic men’s hockey.

Next stop Ireland for rugby standout

■ Richmond’s Courtney Vorster is playing for Canada’s U18 national team in a threegame series against the United States, starting Thursday in Lake Placid, NY.

“We want to congratulate all 42 players who took part in the selection camp, and thank our staff for a phenomenal week. As we expected, these young women showed up ready to work hard both on and off the ice, and they made our decision very difficult,” said Delaney Collins, head coach of Canada’s National Women’s Under-18 Team. “Congratulations to the 24 players who were selected to play in Lake Placid; you’ve earned this opportunity, and we’re excited to work with you and continue to see you develop over this upcoming series.”

Following the series in Lake Placid, Hockey Canada scouts, along with the team’s coaching staff and general manager, will continue to evaluate players with their provincial and club teams during the 2017-18 season, including at the 2017 National Women’s Under-18 Championship in Quebec City, Nov. 1-5, in preparation for selecting the Canadian team that will compete at the 2018 IIHF U18 Women’s World Championship in Dmitrov, Russia. Vorster is expected to be playing for Team B.C. for the third consecutive year at U18 nationals.

rom national to provincial team duties. It’s a busy month for Valarie Wideski. The Richmond rugby standout was in Ottawa last weekend where she led Canada’s U18 team to a sweep of the United States in the two-game Can-Am Series. Played at the University of Ottawa, Wideski scored a pair of tries as Canada rolled to a 25-5 victory. The result came on the heels of a dominant 58-12 triumph in the series opener. The recent StevestonLondon graduate was among eight different Canadian players to score tries. Wideski has since turned her attention to the B.C. U18 15s women’s team that is currently in Ireland. The team is playing four matches over nine days and also taking in Canada’s pool match against New Zealand at the Women’s Rugby World Cup in Dublin. The B.C. U18 men’s Valarie Wideski team is also part of the trip. The Tour is part of BC Rugby’s new approach to seek out challenging and valuable competitions to ensure optimum athlete development. In turn, this should help in the process of developing more B.C. players to lead national teams to success. The B.C. women’s team will face a number of club sides including Launguedoc (France) and Leinster (Ireland) at a U18 girls tournament. The trip will conclude with a second match against Munster on Saturday. Wideski plays club rugby for Bayside and concluded her high school career by helping McRoberts reach the tier II title game at the B.C. Championships. Meanwhile, Richmond’s Kate Ferduk has been named to the B.C. U16 girls team that competing at this week’s Canadian Rugby Championships in Calgary.

TRUTH IN EMPLOYMENT ADVERTISING Glacier Media Group makes every effort to ensure you are responding to a reputable and legitimate job opportunity. If you suspect that an ad to which you have responded is misleading, here are some hints to remember. Legitimate employers do not ask for money as part of the application process; do not send money; do not give any credit card information; or call a 900 number in order to respond to an employment ad. Job opportunity ads are salary based and do not require an investment.
