Local government takes stand, despite not having enforcement powers

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Genetically modifi ed crops are now unwel-come in Richmond.

City council endorsed a resolution Tuesday opposing the cultivation of genetically en-gineered plants and trees in Richmond. The resolution states that apart from three exist-ing dairy farms growing genetically modifi ed corn, no further such crops are welcome.

“The city does not have the enforcement powers here. So it is a statement of our in-tention of our consideration of the matter,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie.

Regulation of genetically modifi ed crops and food products is a federal responsibility.

“In the most positive sense we would want to work with the agriculture community in general and to make sure that people are educated as to the possible risks and also to work towards getting better information out to consumers,” said Brodie.

There’s little consensus on risks and benefi ts of genetically engineered plants. According to city staff, a 2008 global review of the available science found a limited number of properly de-signed studies on the impacts to human health.

City council is nonetheless making a statement.

“We don’t know exactly what the ramifi cations could be so why take the chance if through a little more thought and searching out alterna-tives that farmers can grow crops without using genetically modifi ed seeds,” said Brodie.

City council’s resolution, which requires a ratifi cation vote next Monday, also urges senior governments to better manage ge-netically modifi ed plants through mandatory labelling and greater communication with the public.

Local agrologist Arzeena Hamir advocated for the resolution and called Tuesday’s deci-sion “history in the making.”

“In the ideal world we wouldn’t even have to debate this issue. In the ideal world in Canada products that contain genetically modifi ed in-gredients would be labelled and the general public would know what they’re eating.”

Hamir said through choice it would become clear people don’t want these products in their food. But because “we’re all being ex-perimented on” and the federal government hasn’t responded to calls for labelling, it’s up to local governments to respond.

Richmond will be the eighth community in B.C. to adopt such a resolution—and one with the largest agricultural industry—and could lead to more municipal governments to follow.

“When you get a critical mass of communi-ties that have enacted this type of resolution, then you can take it to the provincial level, and then from the province we can then start ad-vocating for a national moratorium, at least,” said Hamir.

Nevertheless, Vancouver Coastal Health of-fi cials don’t believe genetically modifi ed food presents a risk to the public.

“There is no public health reason for a ban of genetically engineered trees, plants and crops as proposed in the resolution presented to council,” said the letter, signed by health offi cers Dalton Cross and Dr. James Lu.

Genetically engineered food products were fi rst approved by Health Canada in 1994. Ac-cording to health offi cials, up to 70 per cent of grocery store food has some ingredients derived from genetically engineered organ-isms.

Richmond’s Sahar Biniaz is now Canadian pageant royalty. The 26-year-old won the crown at the Miss Universe Canada 2012 contest last Saturday in Toronto.

“It was absolutely amazing. The feeling of it is like winning a lottery: you buy a ticket hoping to win, but you’re never ever prepared enough

mentally, emotionally and physically for all these things that will go with it.”

Biniaz is now planning a tour of South America to work with the charity SOS Children’s Villages. In B.C. she’ll be helping raise awareness for B.C. Transplant, an organization close to her heart ever since a 25-year-old cousin died in a car accident—but not before he saved someone’s life with a heart donation.

Who will be RichCity Idol 2012?

Singer-songwriter, performing Tuesday at RichCity Idol

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

With spiked hair, cool clothes and a badass rock band, Andrew Allen remembers one of the fi rst times he performed in front of a crowd. It happened to be his high school.

A teacher had invited him to put on a show between school band sets. Crazy, Allen thought, but he jumped anyway and gave himself an experience that left him shak-ing.

He was hooked.Today, Allen is a singer-songwrit-

er whose career in pop music is taking off thanks to his hit “Loving You Tonight,” which landed him a record deal and a video with 3.6 million online views. On Tuesday, Allen will give back to young artists as a guest performer and judge at the ninth annual RichCity Idol show at Gateway Theatre.

The showcase of local musical talent—featuring one top singer from each public high school in the district—offers young singers a shot on the big stage.

Allen’s advice? Breathe it in.“If there’s any way to get up on

stage and take a big deep breath fi rst—and be able to experience all the people who are there watching you and supporting you—then as

soon as that song’s done, that’ll always be a part of your memory,” he said in a phone interview.

Since jumping head fi rst into a music career four years ago, Allen has been busy making a name for himself through several tours in Canada and the United Kingdom while collecting awards, chart spots and fans. With similarities to Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson and John Mayer, Allen has opened for big acts like Bruno Mars, OneRepublic and Train.

Based in his hometown of Ver-non, Allen is still performing but has taken a break from touring to hone his songwriting while await-ing the imminent release of his next single.

It was 2008 when Allen and wife Julia quit their jobs and sold their house and belongings. They bought a minivan and Allen took his music on the road, performing 210 shows a year. That hard work paid off with “Loving You Tonight,” a song he wrote in Nashville and played for his wife via Skype.

“I could tell right away it defi nite-ly had those special components

to it. Every now and again you write a song (that) has something different. That was defi nitely one of those songs.”

He recorded it and independently released it to Canadian radio. The song picked up steam on the charts and the Epic label noticed, signing Allen, releasing the song in the U.S. and bankrolling a video. The song exploded and was featured in the 2011 Taylor Lautner fi lm Abduction.

“It ended up being much more than this cute little song I had written for the love of my life, and instead had blown up into this thing that a lot of people could identify with.”

His latest song carries a similar buzz—and he’s got a lot more tunes he’s eager to share.

“I think that there’s an honesty to my writing, and I think there’s an identifi able character with a lot of them,” he said. “To tell an old school love story in a song is a new concept in this day and age, so I’d love to see myself carry that torch and sing at that top level, but I’d also like to be able to write those songs for other people.”

When Allen plays at Gateway Theatre Tuesday, he’ll likely have his go-to guitar with him—a Duncan Africa—built in Uganda to support a village and fi nely-tuned by Surrey-based guitar master Jay Duncan.

Said Allen: “It still smells like wood. It wasn’t made in a factory. There’s extra glue in some parts, extra resin here and there, little cracks. I just think it’s so cool.”

Singer-songwriter Andrew Allen is one of three judges who will evaluate the talents of 10 young singers Tuesday at Gateway Theatre.

Do Traffi c Tickets Help Make Roads Safer?

If everyone obeyed all the rules governing the use of our roads and highways, the crash rate would tumble. It might even approach zero. Any crashes would be true ‘motor vehicle accidents’ or at least more closely fi t this still-used but inappropriate catchall term. ‘Accident’ denotes fate or chance at work when, in fact, most crashes are caused by human misbehaviour or error—a distinction that is almost irrelevant when it comes to obeying driving rules. Licensed drivers must know the rules and obey them and, when they fail to do so with harmful results, a range of consequences can follow.

But we do not live in a perfect world. Lots of normally law-abiding drivers do not obey the rules all the time and they make mistakes—follow too closely, misjudge a stale yellow (let alone green) light or exceed the speed limit, even if this just amounts to keeping up with the over-the-limit traffi c fl ow.

Fortunately, there are lots of times when not obeying the rules has no harmful consequences. At other not-so-fortunate times, however —even without harmful consequences—there are painful consequences. Namely, we get caught by the police and penalized in a way that seems to us to be disproportionate to the fault.

Although studies have shown that the “issuance of a traditional traffi c citation reduces a driver’s risk of involvement in a fatal crash by 35% in the month following the citation” (Traffi c Safety, Leonard Evans), the other takeaway from such an experience is usually some loss of respect for the effi cacy of the rules and the purposefulness of law enforcement. For those us who pridefully like to think of ourselves as pretty good drivers, it may look a lot less like

harm prevention, and a lot more like a quota-meeting, revenue-raising exercise.

Leonard Evans, the leading traffi c safety expert quoted above, is a strong advocate for automatic detection technology as a solution to the capriciousness and seeming unfairness of traditional catch-me-if-you-

can enforcement. Although he understates the diffi culties of collecting automatically generated fi nes and the owner /driver conundrum, his fi rst principles are sound: “Traffi c law [must] have only one purpose—to prevent crashes and the injuries and deaths they produce.”

Marni Soupcoff’s recent article “Their radar gun or your rights” in the National Post newspaper is a good reminder of this persistent underlying challenge for law enforcement. The article discusses a leaked memo to Toronto Police Service’s 31 Division, reminding them that “traffi c enforcement offi cers are expected to write 25 tickets a day and “accident car offi cers” are expected to write at least 10 tickets a day, provided they are not dealing with any collisions.”

Call it expectation or quota, the memo, she says, is evidence of a quota system, and not of safety as the priority, which it should be. One perceptive letter writer commented, “I would hazard a guess that Marni Soupcouff recently received a ticket for, in her mind, some minor traffi c violation and so she can’t see beyond anger to the forest. …If it takes quotas to maintain a modicum of safety on roads I say bring them on, even double them.”

Incident underscores need for dredging of waterways

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

The 24-metre tug boat Jose Narvaez ran aground in the waters off Steveston around noon Saturday, an incident that points to the need for regular dredging of the area, according to Steveston Harbour Authority general man-ager Bob Baziuk.

The vessel listed to its port side in the shallow channel that runs between Steveston and Shady Island, after it came to a halt near the narrow island’s western-most edge.

There were no injuries and the vessel was undamaged, according to Lafarge Canada, which owns the boat.

Baziuk doesn’t know what precisely the tug boat struck, but things fi gure to only get worse as long as the chan-nel isn’t dredged again. Some larger fi shing boats are scheduled to come to the harbour in the next few months, he said, adding: “They’re not going to be able to access the harbour very soon.”

The harbour authority has been working with Delta-Richmond East MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay and various levels of government in hopes that funding will be made avail-able for the needed dredging work, Baziuk said.

Recently Baziuk came upon another hazard that threat-ens the harbour, in the form of a tree, branches and all, that had become snagged in the boom at the eastern end of Shady Island.

He said debris coming from upriver fi gures to get only worse as the spring freshet builds, and said the existing protective measures for the harbour aren’t adequate.

“They’re not doing the job anymore,” Baziuk said.Logs and other debris can get under the existing boom,

and cause damage to the harbour’s dockside infrastruc-ture as well as the boats moored there.

He’s suggesting that sand dredged from the channel be deposited alongside the weir that connects Steveston to the eastern tip of Shady Island, which would trap debris originating upriver. This would create an environmental zone that would serve to shelter the harbour.

Asked how much the dredging work might cost, Baziuk said: “If we’re going to do it right, to a standard people can live with, it might reach a million (dollars).”

Baziuk said it’s a constant battle to acquire funding for harbour maintenance, and understands why most politi-cians aren’t eager to divert money toward a project that doesn’t result in a media photo opportunity.

“You can’t see it (dredging work). It’s not like a bright new shiny dock.”

Bone loss in jaws always occurs when teeth are lost. Up to 50% of the bone ridge volume can disappear in the rst year after teeth extractions because there are no longer any roots to stimulate the bone. Extensive periodontal disease and ill tting dentures also lead to the thinning and shortening of the jawbone. This leads to complications when attempting to place implants as the dentist requires a suitable amount of bone to support the implant.

To solve this problem, the dentist can often do bone graft procedures called Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) or a sinus lift (in the upper jaw). Bone grafts in the mouth are a proven way of building a solid foundation for implants to be placed. If you’ve been putting off going to the dentist for years or have been told that you don’t have enough bone for dental implants, Dr. Nelson may be able to help you.

Dr. Greg Nelson offers a FREE initial consultation. During your consultation, you can discuss possible ways to improve your smile and get a better idea of what Dr. Nelson can do for you.

“I lost my two front teeth when I was 7 during a playground accident. It has taken me 28 years to nd a dentist that I was comfortable with and I

knew had the expertise and patient care to tend to my complicated dental case. Dr. Nelson and his team have been exceptional during the entire bone grafting procedure to correct a bone defect that has come from missing my teeth for so many years. I highly recommend Dr. Nelson when it comes to bone grafting and implants. He goes above and beyond for his patients to ensure they are comfortable and have all the information they need to make informed decisions. I’m loving my new smile!”

From Page 1Born in India and raised

in Iran, Biniaz came to Rich-mond at the age of 10. She studied performing arts at Stella Adler Academy in Los Angeles and is working as an actress in fi lm and tele-vision.

Biniaz graduated from R.C. Palmer, but school in Richmond wasn’t an easy road.

In Grade 8 at Richmond High, Biniaz said two girls beat her up in the school bathroom, sending her to hospital. She moved schools, but even in her graduating year, when she started modelling, bullying persisted.

“I never got to enjoy the real setting of a school,” she said.

In 2005, Biniaz was in-spired to compete for the Miss Universe title. At the time she was in Thailand volunteering at an orphan-age. She saw an advertise-ment for Miss Universe and decided to go. Canada won after going decades with-out a crown.

“That really inspired me. That’s why I decided to give it my all, give it my best.”

Sahar will now represent Canada at the 2012 Miss Universe competition, scheduled for mid-Decem-ber. In the meantime she’ll split her time between Van-couver, Toronto and South America.

Two other Richmond

residents, Carla Bradstock, 26, and Elana Wu, 22, were also among the 63 women from across Canada who competed for the title.

Sahar said she’s prom-ised them she’ll visit all the contestants in their provinces.

Sahar also competed in the pageant in 2008, fi n-ishing as fi rst runner-up. But with persistence, she found the stage again this year—this time winning the title. She wants to en-courage young girls to have the same persistence—and don’t let a second-place fi n-ish drag you down.

Said Sahar: “I think it’s the background that I come from, the bullying, that helped me to be able to keep going for what I want—not care about what people think or say.”

Richmond Vancouver Walk for ALS returns Saturday

Join B.C. Lions general manager Wally Buono and former Canadian national team freestyle skier Sylvia Kerfoot at the seventh annual Richmond Vancouver Walk for ALS taking place this Saturday at Garry Point Park.

Registration is at 9 a.m. with the walk getting underway at 10 a.m. Look forward to a fun-fi lled morning with music, food, family entertainment, a 50/50 draw, prizes and a silent auction.

Proceeds from this event go to the ALS Society of B.C. to fund research and to provide support for those living with ALS. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a fatal neuromuscular disease that affects the person’s motor neurons that carry messages to the muscles. When these muscles fail to receive messages, they lose strength, atrophy and die, leaving the person immobilized.

Richmond coun-cil took a pro-gressive leap

Tuesday, thumbing its nose at naysay-ers and even public health officials, by taking a stand on frankenfoods.

This week council voted yes to a resolution op-posing the cultivation of genetically engineered plants and trees in Richmond. Yes, senior governments—and ulti-mately federal authori-ties—are the regulators, but our local politicians are listening to the people and saying no.

Sure there’s no firm evidence suggesting genetically altered food is good or bad for hu-man health. And last time we checked, cities don’t have a science department sandwiched between its bylaws and transportation divisions.

But in the absence of such categorical evi-dence, calling for a ban on such crops was the right move.

Right now the Cana-dian public isn’t being informed of squat when it comes to the genetic engineering behind sup-pertime. There are no labelling requirements.

Farmers aren’t required to disclose to their organic neighbours if unnatural crops are being grown.

As Mayor Malcolm Brodie said, the ramifica-tions of such crops are not exactly known. So why take the chance—

especially when, given this age of information, natural alternatives to what ails a farmer, should exist.

Council’s latest move mirrors one it made a few years ago by panning the use of pesticides, banning the city’s and

residents’ use of Round-up and other chemical products designed to kill garden weeds. Similarly, the science is unclear, but there are enough questions surrounding the chemicals and their use that warranted a sud-den stop.

With cancer rates seem-ingly growing and grow-ing, global environmental changes and unexplained economic crises, “sci-ence” aimed at bettering our lives needs a careful examination.

Let’s start with the din-ner table.

Published every Wednesday and Friday by Black Press Ltd.

If you’ve ever driven up Cambie Road in Vancouver, or

even up Boundary Rd and into Burnaby over the last few years, you may have noticed a peculiar state the grass in the medians and in some of the lawns.

It’s as if every lawn has been rototilled (badly) and tufts of grass are strewn everywhere. No, this is not the work of a poorly trained landscaper. This damage is actually nature’s way of indicating that the Day of Reckoning for lawn owners is near.

A small beetle, about the size of a dime is, responsible for all of this damage. The European Chafer’s single purpose in life is to seek out grass in which to mate and lay its eggs. As the eggs hatch into grubs, the grubs feed on the roots of grass and cause dead patches to appear.

Now if that weren’t enough to drive lawn afi cionados into the underground pesticide trade, Nature then sends in a helping hand. Crows,

skunks, and sometimes raccoons can hear these little grubs munching and they tear out the grass to look for these lovely delectables.

Literally overnight, your lawn is undone. And, as long as there is grass to feed on, the beetles will return to lay their eggs. These bugs mean business. This infestation started in New Westminster a decade ago and has been marching westward ever since.

Last year, I took a wrong turn down Alderbridge at Garden City and turned into the neighbourhood on the north east corner to turn myself around again. What did I notice? Signs of chafer damage. This year, I’m seeing damage on Garden City Road, right in front of the Bridgeport

Skytrain station.The chafer has come to

Richmond. Here’s where it gets interesting. Lawn owners basically have two choices: Commit to fi ghting this beetle for the rest of the time that you own your lawn, or decide that this is nature’s way of telling you that it’s time to put in a garden (chafer doesn’t eat non-grass species).

If you choose the latter, any other type of garden, including a vegetable garden would be ideal. In fact, many homeowners in Vancouver have handed over their non-lawns to young farmers and are now enjoying delicious bounty where a once inedible space stood.

For those who decide that the lawn is just too important, the

only organic treatment (remember, we have a pesticide bylaw in Richmond) is to apply predatory nematodes in the third week of July when new eggs are laid. The lawn then has to be kept moist for at least 10 days for the treatment to work.

Oh, and did I mention that if your neighbour doesn’t treat their lawn, your treatment is pretty much useless? Yup, you have to speak to your neighbours and everyone has too co-operate and do the treatment together.

Can you hear me snickering? Although many would disagree, I think the European Chafer is one of the best things that has ever happened to Richmond. Hats off to Mother Nature!

lettersBleach and dyes are OKEditor:

Don’t you think it’s time you cancelled your rela-tionship with Arzeena Hamir?

Not only does attack her mother-in-law quite un-fairly and unkindly with the ludicrous defence that the poor woman doesn’t read the paper because she has moved, but she also writes infl ammatory and inaccurate things about hair dye and bleach!

There is nothing unhealthful about dyeing one’s hair, and bleach is a product completely safe for use in our environment.

Perhaps if Ms. Hamir believed in science and read what our own Health Canada has to say, she might change her mind. But I’m not counting on it. She has a bee in her bonnet about so many modern luxuries. I wish her a relaxing vacation in a country where women are not free to express themselves and where the water from the tap is not safe!

TransLink fine flap defies beliefEditor:

Re: “Minister delivered on TransLink,” May 16.Your guest editorial lauding Transportation

Minister Blair Lekstrom for quick legislative action on fare evaders seemed to overlook the systemic problem of government oversight of these matters.

How could a ministry not know that for 10 years virtually nobody was paying fi nes? Their own Crown corporation, ICBC, had tracked this problem for years.

In the last year, transit issued twice as many tickets as the previous year. More rigorous enforce-ment? How about common knowledge that you never needed to pay the fi nes? Just ask any fare evader, or their friends.

This situation defi es belief. We should be talking about ministerial incompetence, not congratula-tions, unless you are fond of government creating avoidable fi nancial disasters that they can later try to rectify.

Pesticide ban would protect childrenEditor:

Re: “We’ll take a less toxic environment, thank you,” Editorial, May 23.

Our physicians’ organization much appreciates your thoughtful editorial supporting a ban on lawn and garden pesticides across the province. Such a law—which would protect drinking water, fam-ily pets and, most important, British Columbia’s children—should be enacted immediately.

Evidence from other parts of Canada shows this type of province-wide legislation really works. In the year following passage of Ontario’s pesticide prohibition, for example, concentrations of these toxic chemicals in urban streams dropped dra-matically—in some cases as much as 97 per cent. There’s every reason to believe a B.C. ban would have similar positive effects.

Canadian Tire hosts Jumpstart Day Saturday

by Don FennellSports Editor

This Saturday is a big day for amateur sport and recreation in Canada.

May 26 is Jumpstart Day, when ev-ery Canadian Tire store will feature fun activities and draws to help raise money so that kids from fi nancially disadvantaged families in local com-munities across the country can get in the game.

“It’s extremely benefi cial to have programs like this,” says Roger Barnes, past president of Richmond Soccer. “Normally community sport does whatever it can to ensure all children can play regardless of their economic well-being, and this helps make that possible. It’s important that kids have the ability to play with-

out having to be from a high-income family. One of the goals of community sport is to ensure inclusiveness.”

Barnes says the fact Canadian Tire would establish a program like Jumpstart speaks “very highly of the corporation and shows they have a good understanding of the impor-tance of sport.”

“It’s one thing to support elite ath-letes and sponsor national teams, and while that’s important, helping kids play sport at the grassroots (is particularly exemplary).”

Barnes notes that the cost to play even so-called lower-priced sports is constantly rising, especially when equipment and training fees are added. That, he says, produces two concerns—families who’d like their children to play but simply can’t af-ford it, and those who don’t encour-age their kids to play because they’re concerned about the costs.

“If we can create awareness that there’s help available, and cost

doesn’t need to be a barrier, we’ll get more of those families coming out,” he says.

Sean Davies, co-ordinator of diver-sity services at the City of Richmond, says any chance to provide oppor-tunities for kids that are supported by a corporation with the profi le of Canadian Tire can only benefi t par-ticipation in sport.

“Getting kids involved in sport and recreation creates opportunities for healthy lifestyles, builds self-esteem, confi dence and the ability to learn leadership skills, and develop good social relationships,” he says. “Jump-start is a fantastic way to allow that entry into sport to begin.”

A national charitable program, Jumpstart began in 2005. Its one million red ball campaign is one of the many ways you can donate to Jumpstart. This year there are two new designs, a basketball and a baseball, available for a donation of $2 each.

Sara Holt is returning to her Richmond roots—as a spy.

The Richmond-raised actor is returning to local el-ementary schools to reprise her role of Esmeralda Superspy Planet Protector in DreamRider Theatre’s new play, H2 Whoa! Six elementary schools will see the show next week, from May 29 to 31. Walter Lee, Manoah Steves, Lord Byng, Henry Anderson and Mitchell elementary schools will host the show.

In all, Holt and the DreamRider crew will per-form the show at 120 Lower Mainland elementary schools, reaching 30,000 children, until June 8.

Created to inspire children and their families to conserve water and make the planet more ecologi-cally friendly, Esmeralda and her sidekick Goober set out to save the world’s water supply, which is in danger thanks to Evil Evaporator.

Holt is a Richmond High grad who joined Dream-Rider in 2001 after studying acting at Langara College’s Studio 58.

The show—suitable for students in kindergarten to Grade 7—is provided to schools at no costs thanks to funding from RBC Blue Water Project, Metro Vancouver, TD Friends of the Environment Founda-tion and the Hamber Foundation. The municipalities of Vancouver, West and North Vancouver, Langley, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Burnaby and Abbotsford also sponsor the show.

Sara Holt returns as Esmeralda Superspy

Richmond High grad Sara Holt is returning to lo-cal elementary schools next week as part of a new DreamRider Theatre show.

Giant George: Life with the World’s Biggest Dog by Dave Nasser with Lynne Barrettt-Lee is well…a shaggy dog story of sorts.

Except George isn’t shaggy, it’s a real-life

story, and he looks more like a pony than a dog. In fact, he’s probably larger than some of those miniature ponies you see. Standing 42 inches tall at shoulder height (keep in mind that doesn’t include his long neck and huge head) and seven feet long – yes, you heard right – George, the Great Dane, is in the Guinness Book of World Records for tallest dog EVER.

When Dave Nasser and his wife Christie originally got George as a fl uffy little puppy weighing 17 pounds, they just saw a sweet natured, happy dog. Little did they know that this runt of the litter would turn out to weigh 245 pounds. But as George grew, so did their love for this gentle giant. And despite his size, he turned out to be the perfect family pet.

If you’re thinking this is a Marley & Me knock-off, it’s not. It doesn’t even come close to tugging at the heart strings like Marley did. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a pretty good book; it just lacks that hu-man element that Marley had in spades. Instead, Dave Nasser focuses on George’s size and rise to fame, practically to the exclusion of everything else, including this little family. I mean, when a guy’s wife has just given

birth, do you think he’d be more interested in his dog and his applica-tion to Guinness World Records, than his new baby daughter? You tell me. No wonder Christie was a touch miffed.

As George and his “parents” make friends with other dog owners at the doggie park, the idea starts to percolate that maybe George really is the biggest Great Dane around. Soon enough they form “Team George,” and the machine that is George takes on a life of its own. Nasser’s friends start a George Facebook page and YouTube account and fan club, and before they know it, they have thou-sands of “friends” world-wide wanting to know more about Georgie.

And in case you’re won-dering, George sleeps on his very own queen size bed, eats 110 pounds of dog food each month and has to bend over to drink out of the kitchen sink. And you know what they say: Big dog. Big poop. Don’t even ask. Accord-ing to Nasser, he had to rig up a special snow shovel-like thing to scoop George’s poop.

Detail from a William Watt painting—part of a new exhibition at Richmond City Hall.

B.C. landscape captured by Richmond artist

Richmond artist William Watt is displaying a se-lection of drawings and paintings at Richmond City Hall’s galleria until July 29.

The work refl ects the B.C. landscape Watt has observed while travelling through the province throughout the seasons.

Watt, a member of the Richmond Artists Guild, has lived in Richmond since 1983. According to his biography on the guild’s website, Watt has ex-plored printmaking, photography, screen printing and drawing, but in the last 10 years has focused on landscape painting with acrylics.

With the ever-growing amount of available home technology, buyers need to keep an eye on the trends as well as their future plans.

“Pre-planning saves you money and headaches in the end,” says Lee Rente of Encore Security and Automation.

He suggests that homeowners think about what they will eventually want. Everything from cameras to speakers will need to have a wire somewhere.

The first tip Rente gives buyers is to make sure the house is pre-wired for sound, security, television and Internet.

“Making sure a wire is where it needs to be will save you a lot of money in the end,” he says, since having to go in and

wire a house once the drywall is up will force the installer to cut holes in walls and ceilings to run the wire through.

If you’re planning to mount a television, Rente recommends you look at the construction of your home first.

“It is very difficult to hang a TV on steel studding,” he says. “It doesn’t really support weight well.”

Instead, he tells homeowners to look for a piece of wood between the studs and behind the drywall.

The advice he gives homeowners is to share. “Always tell the tradespeople your ideas,” he says, adding that it will help both parties on their journey to creating the perfect home.

Step up into class at Pier 16.The project, from developer

Woodbridge Homes, features 41 three- and four-bedroom townhomes right in the heart of South Surrey.

Touring the show home, it becomes clear how many small choices in the finishings add up to a satisfying whole. Where many developments opt for intricate, colourful and showy tile backsplashes in the kitchen, Pier 16 offers a relatively simple pattern with larger, plain tiles that remind the viewer of exposed brick. It provides an air of confidence, like someone who knows they don’t need to show off.

Sales manager Trina Brady says this approach has made Pier 16 popular among younger and older buyers alike.

“It’s very classy and simple; you can dress it up with add-ons,” she says. “It leaves it as a blank slate for the buyer to fill.”

You get this sense from the whole kitchen: the quartz countertops are a little thicker than usual and the undermount sink is a little deeper than usual. It adds up to a satisfying package.

The main floor kitchen/dining room/living room has an open concept layout, and it flows well from one setting to the next. Brady says she encountered a bit of skepticism when describing the L-shaped kitchen, but that quickly dissipated when they saw the room in person. That’s because the kitchen L remains unobtrusive even as it stretches into the middle of the space.

“The design here really makes it feel like a large island and not a barrier,” Brady says.

Every home includes nine-foot ceilings, and you will get tons of light coming in from the generously sized windows.

Heading upstairs, you’ll find the same big, bright windows in all of the bedrooms along with a good amount of closet space.

A huge deck flows out from the master bedroom and over the driveway.

It spans the entire width of the house while extending out by eight feet, which provides lots of outdoor space for relaxing as well as shelter for your car.

The master ensuite comes with a marble countertop, his-and-hers sinks and an oversize glass shower. The shower is big without becoming obtrusive and taking over the bathroom. Brady says the glass walls on the shower kept the space wide open.

“To have it all see-through takes away barriers that would otherwise obstruct views where a normal wall would be,” she says.

On the bottom floor, all of the units have single-car garages except for B-plan homes, which come with tandem garages. Homes with single-car garages include finished basement spaces with a bedroom and bathroom.

For your guests, pathways criss-crossing the development will link

visitor parking with each building. Brady says these walking spaces add a sense of community to Pier 16.

“It feels like you’re walking up to a home, not a number,” she says.

Homes at Pier 16 start at $369,900. For more information, visit www.pier16.ca or call 604-542-1616.

Submitted photosKitchens at Pier 16, above, are built in an open concept layout that flows into the living and dining areas, top. With nine-foot ceilings and chic laminate flooring, the homes are modern and elegant, and include thoughtful details such as quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances and plenty of natural light from the large windows.

It didn’t quite match team-mate Nawid Yilmaz’s perfect game a few weeks before, but Brandon Kirk’s no-hitter Sunday was still signifi cant and rare in its own right.

Matching a feat that has only been done 274 times in Major League Baseball history, Kirk didn’t allow a Victoria Eagle a base hit as the Richmond City Chuckers earned a 4-0 win at a B.C. Midget AAA tournament game in Kelowna.

Teammate Jonah Rose made a notable catch in centre fi eld in the fi fth inning to help preserve the feat.

“Otherwise Brandon was in complete control,” said Chuck-ers’ manager Raul Verde Rios. “(Having two amazing pitching feats in the fi rst six weeks of the season) is a pretty incred-ible story.”

Kirk’s achievement comes at a

time when the Chuckers haven’t had much to celebrate. Prepar-ing to host Chilliwack and Kam-loops in a pair of doubleheaders this weekend, Richmond has managed only the single victory in its last fi ve games—includ-ing one-run losses, 10-9 and 1-0, to league-leading Victoria Mariners—and now sits fi fth in the B.C. Minor standings with a record of 10-6.

“It was disappointing to lose the games in Victoria, especially when we were ahead in one of

them, but there’s still lots of time to work on all the things we need to,” said Verde Rios, who calls this month’s stretch the toughest of the season. “Once we get past this I’m sure things are going to get better.”

Verde Rios said several of the players, mainly the fi rst-year Chuckers, are still adjusting to a more intense game and a higher level of ball.

“We’ve had a lot of mental er-rors lately and that’s because the players are at times not as disciplined at the plate as they need to be,” he said. “It’s also because they’re playing against better athletes and having to ad-just to better pitching as well.”

All four of this weekend’s games are scheduled to be played at Latrace Field inside Minoru Park. Saturday’s games against Chilliwack are slated for 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., with Sunday’s start times versus Kamloops at 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

Led by tournament MVP Janet McLachlan’s 47 points and 13 rebounds, BC Breakers outscored Calgary Rollers 77-56 to win the women’s tiltt at the 2012 national wheelchair basketball championships Sunday in Richmond.

Ontario won the men’s title with a 76-52 win over B.C.

B.C. fi nals at hoops

Richmond Kajaks will host the 44th annual Run Inn BC Elementary Track and Field Championships today (Friday) through Sun-day at Minoru Park.

Competition begins at 4:30 p.m. Friday and re-sumes at 8:30 a.m. Satu-day and Sunday.


Richmond Mariners are doing swim-mingly in their Midget boys’ fastball league, so well in fact they’ve set up an interlocking exhibition schedule with Lower Mainland men’s teams to further challenge themselves.

“We don’t expect to win the games against the men, but we do expect to be competitive,” says Mariners’

skipper Marshall Shields. “Seeing the better pitching, having to react to the faster hitting, and just seeing more elite play can only help us.”

The Mariners, 7-0 in league play, are a combination of the defending Bantam A and Midget C provincial champions. The 16- and 17-year-olds, who’ve already earned a bye into the Western Canadian Midget B cham-pionships Aug. 9 to 11 in Winnipeg, are scheduled to play Richmond’s Bantam A team next Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at Palmer Field.

The Mariners played the fi rst of eight exhibition games, plus playoffs,

against the men’s teams last week-end. Predictably, they lost both.

Richmond lost 8-1 to the Vancouver Meralomas, but the game was score-less until the top of the fourth inning. Ryan Shields went 1-for-2, scoring once and producing another run on a homerun.

The Mariners racked up eight hits in a 18-3 loss to Poco’s Cat & Fiddle. Ryan Shields again had a strong outing reaching base twice, scoring once and adding a RBI while tripling in the fi rst inning. They were also led by two-hit performances by Jordan Mezaros.

Harvey Adair SullivanSept 29 1926 - May 11 2012

Our patriarch, our mentor, our rock, our beloved husband and father has left us.

Harvey passed on peacefully in the early morning hours of May 11, 2012 surrounded by his loving wife and family. Predeceased by his parents, brother and two sisters, Harvey is survived by his wife Betty, their children Shauna (Ron), Randy (Micheline), Kerri (Al), Mark (Bev), and Margaret (Keith), grandchildren Alissa (Jason) , Ryan, Elizabeth, Jamie (Karen), Cayley (Frank), Catherine, Anne Marie, Alexa, Amy and Scott, and great grandchildren Hope, Grayson, Lachlan, Hudson and Xavier. He is also survived by his sister Alannah ( Bob) and many nieces and nephews.

Harvey was born in Edmonton and lived most of his life there until relocating to Richmond, B.C. in 1977. After having proudly served his country during World War II, he began his career at Bennett and Emmott in 1949. A self made man, he worked his way up in the organization and at the time of his retirement in 1986 had achieved the position of CEO. Some of his proudest moments with Bennett and Emmott were the opening of the Richmond offi ce, and securing the contract for building the motors for what is now known as Skytrain. Harvey valued the friendships he made while at Bennett and Emmott and continued them into his retirement.

Harvey’s dedication to his work was exceeded only by his love of family. He was never happier than when his family gathered together. Nothing gave him a greater sense of pride than celebrating over 60 years of marriage to his loving and devoted wife Betty, watching his children achieve success in their lives, and being part of the lives of his grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Despite some ongoing health issues, Harvey had an active retirement. Whether he was chairing the strata council at Mariners Village, doing his daily three miles with the mall-walking club at Lansdowne Center, acting as mentor to his grandchildren, polishing his beloved Jaguar , or endlessly pursuing the perfect lawn, he only knew how to do things one way. Fortunately, his way and the right way were one and the same.

Harvey was extremely well read and he enjoyed many spirited discussions about politics and current events. A handyman and problem solver extraordinaire, he had a razor sharp wit and sense of humor right up until his fi nal days. A very happy moment for him was seeing the Vancouver Olympics come to fruition.

Harvey handled his ongoing health issues with quiet dignity and no complaints. He was extremely grateful for the excellent medical care he received over the years. Many thanks to the health professionals who provided care to him, especially Drs. Sigismund, Dirnfeld and Chang. Special thanks also to Dr. Lobb and the palliative care staff at Richmond General Hospital.

A celebration of Harvey’s life will be held at Richmond Funeral Home, 8420 Cambie Road, Richmond B.C. , on Monday, July 9, 2012 at 1 pm. Online condolences may be left at www.richmond-funeral.ca . In lieu of fl owers donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC at www.heartandstroke.bc.ca

Here’s to you Harvey! We all raise a glass of red wine to you, “for medicinal purposes only”. We are thankful for our time with you and know that we are better people for having had you in our lives.

When Irish eyes are smiling,Sure, ‘tis like the morn in Spring.In the lilt of Irish laughterYou can hear the angels sing.When Irish hearts are happy,All the world seems bright and gay.And when Irish eyes are smiling,Sure, they steal your heart away.

Agent: SMC Consulting, 1582 Lawrence Avenue, Penticton BC V2A 3C1 Tel/FAX: (250) 492-6193 E-mail: [email protected]

The purpose of the proposed amendment request is to control wood decay in two timber bridges located (1) adjacent to No. 8 Rd, Lulu Island, Richmond at MP 6.96, and (2) across the north arm of the Fraser River between the 21100 Block River Rd. on Lulu Island and south Burnaby, south of Fraser Park Drive.

The common and trade name of the pesticide proposed for use under this amendment are chloropicrin (Timber Fume). The application method will consist of manually inserting capped vials containing a pre-measured portion of Timber Fume into drilled holes in timbers. The degradable cap on the vial breaks down over time and temperature (within the drilled holes), allowing the liquid Timber Fume to enter the gas phase and move into the surrounding wood. All holes will be plugged with tight fi tting wood plugs following treatment. This ensures that the Timber Fume does not enter a body of water or other environmentally sensitive area. Drilled holes will be located at least 60 cm above the high water mark.

The duration of the proposed amendment to the PMP is from July 25, 2012 to May 3, 2017.

A copy of the proposed amendment to the PMP and a map showing the location of the timber bridges proposed for treatment may be obtained by contacting the Agent (SMC Consulting) listed above.

“A person wishing to contribute information about the proposed treatment sites relative to the development of the amendment to the PMP may send copies of the information to the applicant c/o SMC Consulting, Agent, at the address listed above within 30 days of the publication of this notice”

Richmond RCMP Const. Veronica Fox with the numerous entries the detachment has received in the RCMP’s Help Name our Boat Contest. The 7.3-metre rigid hull infl atable Zodiac boat was donated to the Richmond RCMP by the Steveston offi ce of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Elementary school students were invited to help name the boat, either by submitting a written essay outlining how they think the patrol boat would assist the RCMP to serve the community, or creating a piece of visual art. The winner will be announced publicly on Thursday, May 31 at London’s Landing in Steveston.
