Re-design unlikely to save lives: Transport CanadaChanging the way aircraft are designed
to save lives by limiting fires after planecrashes wouldn’t be simple, nor wouldit be the most effective way to reduceaviation fatalities, a senior official withTransport Canada says.
Martin Eley was responding to a scath-ing report from the Transportation SafetyBoard that argued two pilots might stillbe alive if the federal government heededrecommendations that date back sevenyears.
The safety board’s report last weekprobed an October 2011 crash inRichmond in which two pilots were killedand seven passengers were seriouslyinjured when a turboprop plane slammedinto a road while preparing for an emer-
gency landing at Vancouver InternationalAirport.
The board’s report concluded thepilots could have survived the crash, butinstead, a cockpit fire fuelled by arcingwires connected to the plane’sbattery left them with fatalburns.
An investigator told a newsconference that Transport Canadahas repeatedly ignored recom-mendations first issued in 2006to prevent or reduce the severityof post-crash fires, including introducingtechnology to disconnect aircraft batteriesupon impact.
Eley, Transport Canada’s director gen-eral of civil aviation, said it would take
significant research to evaluate whethersuch changes would even work, as well asthe cooperation of foreign regulators.
He said Transport Canada, aswell the U.S.-based Federal Aviation
Administration and regulatorsin Europe, have instead focusedtheir resources on preventingcrashes in the first place, identi-fying the issues most associatedwith fatal crashes and concen-trating on those.
For example, Eley said halfof all aviation fatalities are linked toeither the pilots’ loss of aircraft control,controlled flight into terrain, or poorresponse to engine failure.
“Those areas contribute to the larg-
est number of accidents, so the decisionwas made to focus on those things, whichare clearly all about avoiding accidents,in preference to focusing on a particularpiece that is not going to create the sameimpact in terms of the overall fatalitynumbers,” Eley said in an interview.
Eley said it would be difficult forCanada to unilaterally introduce newstandards that differ from design speci-fications elsewhere in the world, and heargued that widespread change would beextremely slow, given that many aircraftremain in operation for decades beforethey are replaced.

Soccer school to offer Brazilian touchRichmond coach probing a new way to teach players
A Richmond soccer coach is bringing a littlebit of Brazilian flair and fundamentals to the
Richmond Oval starting nextmonth.
Huw Harris is spearhead-ing the push to set up the firstoperation to bear the BrazilianSoccer Schools banner locallyand is hoping to attract youngplayers to a system of trainingthat emphasizes much more
contact with a soccer ball to improve their footskills, as well as conditioning.
It’s a concept developed in the U.K. and hasspread around the globe. Harris, who is also thevolunteer, technical director for Richmond YouthSoccer, said the idea embraces what is calledFutebol de Salao, a method designed to acceler-ate the technical confidence of young players.
Futebol de Salao stems from impromptu soc-cer games in small, crowded and impoverishedBrazilian backstreets where players often usewhatever can be cobbled into a ball — oftenwrapped up plastic bags or even rags.
“You can see why these young Brazilian kidsare so technically competent,” said Harris. “Theyare not just doing the one-on-one things, buttheir deftness of touch is so much more superiorat a younger age because they are playing thegame in confined spaces, often using differentthings that your brain gets to the point where itdoesn’t matter what shape the ball is, you cancontrol it.”
The more structured Brazillian SoccerSchools’ version harnesses that pure form ofFutebol de Salao, as well as the Brazilians’unbridled joy of the “beautiful game” in small-sided games using a small — size 2 — soccerball that has limited bounce, is weighted andcannot be lifted off the ground easily.
That forces players to become more adept atcontrolling the ball with their feet and not simplyopting for long, high passes.
“It was former English manager, BrianClough, who said that, ‘If God had wanted usto play football in the air,he’d have put grass upthere,’” Harris said with asmile.
Harris added the aver-age Brazilian Soccersession also encouragesa much greater numberof touches of the soccerball than traditionally runpractices.
According to the Brazilian Soccer Schoolswebsite (braziliansoccerschools.com), play-
ers in a traditional 11-a-side soccer match touchthe ball 0.60 times a minute.
Dropping down to afive-a-side game, the num-ber rises to 2.73.
And using the BrazilianSoccer School methods,that per minute figurejumps up to just undereight.
“The number of timeskids touch a soccer ball
is what really drives how good they are going tobe,” Harris said. “For most soccer programs, kids

Don’t delay 911 calls, Richmond-Fire rescue warns
Richmond Fire-Rescue offi-cials are reminding the public tocall them first before trying tofight a fire themselves.
The message comes after a fireFriday evening in a townhouse
complex in the 9500-block of No.3 Road.
Deputy Chief Kim Howellsaid that according to reports theblaze started in the attic of oneunit where residents attempted todown the flames themselves usinga fire extinguisher, before calling911.
It’s that delay which has fireofficials concerned.
“It’s really important for thepublic to, first thing, get everyoneout of the building, call 911, andthen use your fire extinguisher,”Howell said, adding an immediatecall for emergency help providesfirefighters the opportunity to be
on scene in a timely fashion.Two people were treated in
hospital for smoke inhalation andlater released.
Cause of the fire, which result-ed in heavy damage to one unitand spread to an adjoining home,is still under investigation.

JUDY’S MOTIVATIONAL TIP
A4 August 7, 2013 The Richmond News
NewsFire: Heightened victims’ scarsengined plane operatedby Northern ThunderbirdAir. It left the airport onOct. 27, 2011, but turned
around after the pilotsnoticed an oil leak about15 minutes into the flight.
The safety board con-cluded a series of problemsand mistakes contributedto the crash, beginningwhen maintenance crewsfailed to properly securean engine oil cap and end-ing when the pilot appliedpower to only one propel-ler immediately before thecrash.
Six of the seven sur-viving passengers fileda lawsuit earlier this
year against NorthernThunderbird Air, allegingthe airline and the pilotswere negligent.
One of the passengers’lawyers, J.J. Camp, saidthat while most of his cli-ents weren’t burned by thesubsequent fire, it “height-ened the stress and theemotional scars” they wereleft with.
Camp, whose firm hasa long history overseeingcases involving aviationcrashes, said the TSB’srecommendations on post-
impact fires should be ano-brainer for TransportCanada.
“If there are ways andmeans to prevent (fire-related fatalities) or at leastcontribute to preventingthat, then those need to befound,” said Camp.
“What the TSB did in2006 was make what wein the air-crash industrybelieve were reasonableand sensible recommenda-tions.”

Kids: Re-learn physical literacygo out once a week and have training, andconsequently, these kids don’t touch the ballenough.”
The program will also address the subjectof physical literacy, a term that describesa youngster’s adeptness at controlling theirbody — something Harris contends has beendulled by today’s computer/video game-cen-tred youth.
“Kids today don’t go out and play unstruc-tured games as much any more,” Harrisexplained. “They don’t climb trees, runaround the park, play cowboys and Indians.Consequently, they have to be taught to fall tothe ground, pick themselves up, whereas it’sinstinctive for kids from two generations ago.
“Now, our kids are so structured in termsof their time, there’s a physical literacy sideto all sports that’s missing in a lot of these
kids,” he added. “I have seen seven- andeight-year-olds who have difficulty catching asoccer ball. And that’s because they’ve neverhad to try and catch something. No one’s everplayed catch with them.”
Music will also be used to help stimulatebody movement and rhythm during the train-ing. And to help encourage the players toimprove, the Brazilian system uses a badge/reward system.
“It’s a bit like Boy Scouts in that there is ameasurement whereby the kids are assessed,and once they achieve something they aregiven an award. So, there’s this ongoing pro-cess where they are assessed and their suc-cess is reinforced. And it gives them targets,levels to attain — a bit like martial arts.”
At the outset, the school will offer pro-grams for three age groups: six and seven-year-olds, eight and nine-year-olds, and 10 to11-year-olds.

It didn’t take long forthe latest addition to theSteveston-based CanadianLifeboat Institution’s fleet ofrescue vessels to get her hullwet in action.
Not long after the sec-ond-hand, 47-foot, TyneClass lifeboat, renamed theFraser Lifeboat, was unload-ed at Surrey Fraser Docksfrom its deep sea carrier thatbrought it from the U.K. onAug. 1, she was tasked withanswering a distress call.
“Within two hours ofhitting the water she wasoff on her first rescue,” saidCLI Capt.JohnHorton,whosecrew thenmade foran areacalled theAbionBox onthe southside of the Fraser River.
It was there, in the tricky-to-navigate shallows that a26-foot pleasure craft — theChevy Chase — had driftedafter its main engine hadbroken down.
“It’s a very dodgy placeto get into if you don’t knowwhat you’re doing, and wemanaged to bring the ves-sel safely into Steveston,”Horton said.
The addition of the latestvessel — purchased fromthe Royal National LifeboatInstitution (RNLI) — bringsthe CLI’s compliment totwo that are responsiblefor rescues in the Straightof Georgia, and the FraserRiver Estuary right up tonew Westminster.
“A lot of what we do islooking after the commercialfishing fleet,” Horton said.
“We actually provideclose escorts during the fish-ing season.
“And we will be out thisupcoming weekend becausethere is a sockeye openingfor the native fishery.”
And now, with two ves-sels to call on, coveragein that area will be vastlyimproved.
“Better coverage, anda faster coverage, too,”Horton said. “The StevestonLifeboat has a maximumspeed of 10 knots, and thenew boat has a speed of 18knots.
“So,for someof thetrafficthat needsto travel abit faster,such asthe railferrieswhich
are carrying more and moredangerous cargo in the river,the greater speed will giveus the ability to stay aheadof those vessels.”
Horton said a confiden-tiality agreement with theRNLI prevents him fromdivulging what it cost theCLI to attain the FraserLifeboat this spring.
But he assured that allmoney raised for the orga-nization is done so on aprivate donation basis anddoes not involve any gaminggrants or government fund-ing.
The CLI is a volunteer-run, privately-funded marinesearch and rescue service,which has been in operationout of Steveston since 1981.

Richmond residents are being called onto try and set a Guinness World record onFriday — one word at a time.
The attempt is set for the first day ofthe Richmond Martime Festival where atBritannia Heritage Shipyardspeople are being asked to sign upand help sing the nursery rhymeRow, row, row your boat.
Sounds easy, right?But in order to make the
attempt, a minimum of 155people are required to sing oneword of the song each, in series, in time, andin tune.
The current record is held by mem-bers of the Jim Pattison Group, which had154 people turn out in March 2011 at itsJPG Partners in Pride Conference in SanAntonio, Texas.
Organizers here are hoping to not onlybreak that, but clearly own the title with asmany as 200 or so singers doing their one-word part in the lengthy relay.
A group of 18 city staff members recent-ly made a video demonstrating how theGuinness attempt has to be performed (scanpage using Layar).
“There’s 18 words in the song, so weexpect to be going through it about ninetimes in total to set the record,” said City ofRichmond spokesperson Ted Townsend.
“Each person sings just one word, but ithas to be done in tempo to musical accom-paniment, without any miscues in order toset the record. On the surface it may soundeasy because it’s a song most people knowby heart. But when you attempt it, youfind very quickly that it often doesn’t takelong before somebody miscues, or falls off
tempo.”The public, 12 and older, is
encouraged to pre-register for theattempt at the Richmond MartimeFestival website (richmondmari-timefestival.ca). Registration canalso be made on the day.
Those taking part will beawarded a commemorative certificate, a but-ton, and have their name entered for a $200-gift card at Richmond Centre Mall.
“Plus, they have the potential of beinga co-world record holder,” Townsend said,adding participants are asked to be atBritannia Heritage Shipyards at 3 p.m. torehearse before the actual attempt begins at5 p.m.
Part of the judging panel for the Guinnessattempt is Canadian Olympic silver medalist(women’s eights) rower and Richmond localDarcy Marquardt.
In addition to a second judge, video cer-tification will be used to verify the eventand submitted to the Guinness World Recordofficials.

Thank you for electing me as theMLA for Richmond Centre.Creating jobs is the best thing we can do to protect and secure abrighter future for B.C. families. That is why the foundation of The B.C.Jobs Plan is based on diversifying and expanding new markets forB.C.’s goods and services, especially in those emerging economies inAsia and beyond. As a small, open economy, BC recognizes the crucialimportance of trade for our economic prosperity.
B.C. has a long shared history with Asia, and Richmond has one of themost diverse populations in North America, with many community andbusiness connections to countries across the Pacific. I look forwardto working with the community and local companies in achieving ourJobs Plan goals.
Just recently, we saw China Eastern announced the doubling ofdaily flights from YVR to Shanghai, further cementing YVR’s as theairport that welcomes more Asian passengers than any other in NorthAmerica, and an important part of the Asia Pacific Gateway.
Our government has invested $22 million in the Pacific Gatewaywhich has improved the movement of goods. The Asian middle classis growing and they need our resources such as natural gas, copper,agrifoods, coal and lumber. B.C.’s goods exports to Asia have increasedby more than $7 billon since 2001, reaching a record amount of morethan $14 billion in 2011.
Since the launch of the Asia Pacific Initiative in 2007, our province’sexports to Asia have increased by more than $5 billion.
We must leverage our many family, cultural and business connectionsto countries across the Pacific and around the world to strengthen ourtrade relationships, attract new investment, and create and protectjobs for British Columbians. Now is the time to seize the opportunityto market ourselves as never before as the preferred destination forinternational investment.

EDITORIAL OPINION
According to the “Big Count” in 2006, FIFA — the world’sgoverning body for soccer — almost three million men, womenand children played the “Beautiful Game” in Canada.
Easily the most participated sport in a country of 10 millionsquare kilometres, nearly one in 10 Canadians, out of a popula-tion of 33.5 million, kick a soccer ball either competitively orrecreationally.
Canada, which recently had its backside handed to it ona plate during World Cup 2014 qualifying match-up withHonduras, ranks 88th on the planet and hasn’t graced the grassof a World Cup Finals since Mexico in 1986.
Trinidad and Tobago, a total land mass of 5,000 square kilo-meters and a population the size of Richmond and Vancouvercombined (1.2 million), sits 87th at the top table of soccer.
Anyone see a problem here?Clearly, we Canucks love the game; we’re just not particu-
larly good at it or not the best at coaching it…or both.So a Richmond soccer coach’s bid to bring in a Brazilian-
style soccer school to the city simply has to be welcomed withopen arms.
It’s called “Futebol de Salao,” is based on old-school, street-style soccer and it’s all about getting as many touches on theball as humanly possible during a mini-sided game.
After all, if we’re going to get better and climb those rank-ings and perhaps challenge for a coveted World Cup Finalsberth, why not learn from the most successful nation in worldsoccer history.
The move is bound to create a few ripples in B.C. and possi-bly Richmond, where not everyone sees eye-to-eye on how bestto develop the game and its young talent.
The Canadian Soccer Association, in all fairness, has recog-nized the country’s shortcomings and implemented a “Wellnessto World Cup” long-term player development program.
And we have some talented and exciting youngsters filteringthrough Richmond’s grass-roots soccer programs, graduating touniversity, Whitecaps and national levels of the game.
But surely every little bit of help we can get, includingsamba-style soccer from Brazil, can’t be sniffed at, can it?

The B.C. Teachers’Federation is about to begiven the right to engagein a full-scale strike, some-thing many of its membershave been demanding foryears. But they better becareful what they wish for.
The public simply won’ttolerate prolonged workstoppages that close schoolsbehind picket lines. I wouldguess a teachers’ strikewould last a maximum twoweeks before public pres-sure mounts on the provin-cial government to end thedispute through legislation.
Granting teachers thepower to strike is part ofEducation Minister PeterFassbender’s interestingpitch to the BCTF, and sofar the BCTF has tenta-tively expressed interestin what he has to say, buthas also made it clear thatit’s time to “show us themoney.”
And there doesn’tappear to be much moneyto be had. Fassbender wantsa 10-year deal with theunion, but with provincialfinances expected to befairly bleak for the next fewyears, it’s hard to see howthe BCTF would be moti-vated to sign a long termdeal that gives its membersminimal pay raises for thatstretch.
Nevertheless, it’s tooearly to completely writeoff the chances of a long-term deal being reached.The government has sig-nalled it’s willing to be cre-ative and bend a bit to meetsome of what the BCTF islooking for in certain areas.
For example, Fassbenderhas said more items can bebargained at the local levelrather than the provinciallevel, which may meet along-standing demand bythe BCTF.
He has also agreed tohave face-to-face negotia-tions between the centralgovernment and the union,something the BCTF hasbeen calling for.
Fassbender has takenaway the provincial bar-gaining authority ofthe B.C. Public SectorEmployees Associationand has put it in the handsof two people: HealthEmployers AssociationMichael Marchbank, andlong-time labor negotiatorPeter Cameron.
In elbowing BCPSEAaside, Fassbender hasremoved school trustees,who had representation onthe BCPSEA board, fromthe bargaining process.This is not necessarily abad thing, given that schooltrustees, who are electedby a relatively small part ofthe population, can’t pointto any great success that isdue to their presence at theprovincial bargaining table.
Cameron is an interest-ing choice here. His back-ground includes workingfor a fairly militant union,
CAIMAW, back in the1980s. Since then he hasemerged as a top labournegotiator and mediator,and if anyone can pull off amiracle deal it’s him.
While a 10-year dealseems like a remote pos-sibility, I wouldn’t discountthe chances of, say, a five-year contract.
Given the government’stight money situation, sucha contract would have to beback-ended loaded, mean-ing any wage hikes and bigfunding lifts would comein the last years of the dealrather than the first twoyears.
Would the BCTF agreeto a contract that has nowage increases for the firsttwo years, but then giveshikes of around three percent in each of the nextthree years of a contract?
If the government alsoagreed to increase fundingto address class composi-tion and class size in theback end of the contract,along with assigning moreitems to local bargaining,the roots of a contract startto become visible.
Of course, Fassbendermay discover, as his prede-cessors in the portfolio did,that the BCTF isn’t reallycapable of true collec-tive bargaining and so anyhorse-trading that tradition-ally goes on in negotiationsjust doesn’t happen. But theleadership of the BCTF haschanged since the last con-tract round.

The Editor,I am curious as to who had the awful idea of placing an
unsightly ATM Machine on Fisherman’s Wharf. What anunsightly contraption it is — a white, metal, glass-boxy thing,set in one of our Village’s most photographed areas.
Surely there must be an alternative location for this eyesore?It sticks out like a chapel hat pin.
Failing that, how about a nice wooden kiosk to house it? Thatwould fit in with the design of the Wharf, don’t you think?
Better yet, how about putting it somewhere on the vastamount of retina-blistering concrete Onni “enhanced” us withalong the once picturesque boardwalk? It would blend right in!
To the powers that be: your designs are making the villagelook cheap and nasty. Just saying. Power and money obviouslyreigns over taste.

The Editor,Few cities in the world have the
opportunity that currently presentsitself to the citizens of Richmond. TheGarden City Lands is a predominantlyuntouched piece of real estate in themiddle of a busy urban core.
For years the debate has raged as towhat our city should do with this pieceof land; some favour preserving it asfarmland as its current ALR zoningdesignates, while others would like torezone and develop the land.
I personally believe the solution restsin a combination of both options, creat-ing the most for all citizens of our com-munity today, while creating a legacyfor Richmond residents of tomorrow.
My answer to this quandary is eco-friendly, vertical farming; a trailblazingsolution, which using a small portion of
the land base, could significantly pro-duce more output than if the entire areawere farmed traditionally.
Vertical farming is the future. Arableland is fast disappearing and popula-tions around the globe are ever increas-ing at an unsustainable rate.
Resembling high-density residentialdevelopment in urban areas, future cit-ies will inevitably rely on high-densityagriculture.
Consider this stat from ScientificAmerican Journal: “A one-square-blockfarm 30 stories high could yield asmuch food as 2,400 outdoor acres.”
Engineers calculate a typical cityblock at roughly 2.25 acres; thereforeat 136.5 acres the Garden City landswould be equivalent to 60 average cityblocks.
If 10 per cent of the Garden City
Lands (13.65 acres) was used to buildsix vertical green houses, at 10 storieshigh (60 stories total), it would producethe equivalent of 35 times more thanif the entire Garden City Lands werefarmed traditionally, and leave the other90 per cent for other community uses,and renewed public discussion.
Vertical farming could provide theCity of Richmond with the opportunityto create an audacious legacy, and seta worldwide vision for the future ofagriculture; fittingly revolutionizingthe same industry which facilitated theestablishment of our city in the fertileFraser River delta over a century ago.
The future is bright and it’s time forRichmond to be bold.

Ken Shultz states the“greenway” constructionwas not a surprise, men-

The plan approved bycouncil in December actu-ally shows the path fromGranville Avenue to Garry

A good friend and I havebeen splitting a share in a CSA(Community Supported Agriculture)for several years.
The CSA model is one that con-nects people directly with theirsource of their food. It providesfarmers with timely working capital,a secure market for their produce,and a way of sharing the inherentrisks involved in farming.
In return, shareholders receive aseason’s supply of fresh, affordable,local (and often organic), sustainably-produced food. Moreover, it providespeople with a meaningful way toconnect with farmers, the local com-munity and the land.
The CSA project to which Ibelong is with A Rocha, a Christiannature conservation organizationthat originated as a humble fieldstudy centre and bird observatory inPortugal in 1983.
As the A Rocha community real-ized that habitats and wildlife aroundthe world were in dire need of pro-tection, they expanded their scopeand now have projects in Europe,the Middle East, Africa, India, NorthAmerica, New Zealand and SouthAmerica.
A Rocha’s Canadian presence wasestablished in 2000 and its nationaloffice is located at BrooksdaleEnvironmental Centre, a 40-acre
property in Surrey. It is “a hub forpractical conservation, education andsustainable agriculture work, (and)regularly hosts hundreds of volun-teers and scores of interns who cometo study wildlife, restore habitats,plant gardens and teach school kids.”
A Rocha BC’s CSA program hasbeen operating for nine years, andfarmers Paul Neufeld and Wes Smithare busy growing vegetables; train-ing interns, volunteers and staff inorganic farming practices; and build-ing community.
Shareholders have several pickuplocation options (Surrey, EastVancouver, Main Street and the WestSide), and each week’s bin contains amix of eight to 12 varieties of vege-tables and herbs — enough to supplya family of four or five with most ofthe vegetables they need for a week.
Since each week is a surprise, aCSA box appeals to people who havea sense of adventure in the kitchenand enjoy discovering and experi-menting with ingredients. Over the
past seven weeks, we have receivedgarlic scapes, zucchini, cucumbers,summer squash, turnips and more.
In Richmond, there are sev-eral farms that offer CSA boxes.Although the CSA season is wellunderway, since it has been such abountiful summer, CSA shares maystill be available.
Some farms also offer late seasonboxes that run through the fall, socontact them or look them up onlineto find out more.Richmond CSA offerings:" Barefoot Farms: Farm manager:Mark Seiling, 778-859-5052, [email protected], www.barefoot-farms.ca;" On the Farm Vegetables: 604-284-5578, www.onthefarmvegetables.com;" The Sharing Farm: 604-227-6210,[email protected], www.sharing-farm.ca;"Yummy Yards: Farm manager: EmiDo, 778-828-6353, [email protected], www.yummyyards.ca.

Training camp starts newcampaign for Connaught
Rising Richmond club now attracting skaters from abroad
The rest of the country and even partsof the world have taken notice of what theConnaught Skating has accomplished oflate.
That was evident at the Richmondclub’s recent training camp that officiallylaunched the 2013-14 competitive season.The sessions not only featured some ofConnaught’s top homegrown talent whohave gone on to win national titles andrepresent Canada, but skaters from as faraway as Estonia and China. In fact, twoothers from Prince Edward Island andSaskatchewan have relocated to Richmondjust to work with the Connaught coachingstaff in the months ahead.
It’s a huge endorsement of the work theclub has been doing to produce some of thecountry’s finest up-and-coming talent.
“We work hard here in Richmond andare proud to have this type of elite train-ing,” explained Connaught Director ofPrograms Keegan Murphy. “It’s a testamentof the hard, hard work we are doing. Thistype of production doesn’t happen by acci-dent. It comes with a team of staff that isworking together with athletes who are inlove with the sport.”
It was Mitchell Gordon who producedthe club’s first rumblings at the nationallevel, winning the Canadian junior nov-ice and junior men’s titles in consecutiveyears. He jumped up to senior men’s lastseason and finished a more than respect-able seventh thanks to a splendid free skate
at nationals which earned him a spot in theWorld Junior Championships.
Clubmate Larkyn Austman also madenoise a year ago by winning the Canadianjunior women’s title in her debut. Theaccomplishments means the bar needs to bepushed higher as these young skaters moveforward with greater expectations. That’swhere the week-long training camp is criti-cal in the big picture.
The first challenge for the Connaughtstaff is bringing these skaters into a frigidrink on beautiful summer day and ensuringthey are focused on the task at hand.
“For skaters at this (elite) level, the realdevelopment and improvement happens inthe summer,” continued Murphy. “It’s quiterare to acquire a new skill in Novemberduring competition time. This is the time ofthe year where the skaters really have thepsychological, physical and emotion energyto give everything they can in training.
“It is really quite amazing they havecome to a place in their life where theyare willing to be in this training environ-ment from 9-4 five straight days and giveup their summer season. Those are the lifeskills we talk about that will make themstronger adults down the road.”
When the skaters weren’t on the ice,there were plenty of dryland training ses-sions — working with a personal trainer ora ballet teacher.
The competitive schedule kicked off atthe recent Glacier Falls Classic in Anaheimand will continue for the many at theupcoming B.C. Summer Skate in Burnaby— Aug. 15-18.

Connaught Skating Club’s Director of Programs Keegan Murphy shares alaugh with 2012 Canadian Junior Men’s champion Mitchell Gordon during the club’srecent training camp at the Richmond Ice Centre.
Richmond’s Gill captaining host B.C. at U18 Rugby NationalsRichmond’s Harjun Gill will be captain-
ing two-time defending champion B.C.when it begins play today at the RugbyCanada National Festival at the Universityof British Columbia.
The coaching tandem Jeff Williams andRamses Langston selected Gill to captainthis year’s squad, going with experience asthe Richmond Rugby Club standout is oneof two returning players from last year’sroster.
“Harjun has very good vision on thefield and remains calm under pressurearound the park,” Williams said. “The play-
ers look to him for leadership and reallyrespect him. Naming him captain wasreally an easy decision to make.”
Williams and Langston return for athird straight year as the program seeksa rare three-peat. The coaching staff helda final selection camp two weeks ago atShawnigan Lake School where they wereable to fine tune their squad heading intothe tournament.
“Our camp went really well and wehad 30 guys in attendance,” said Williams.“We’ve been working a lot on our defenceand putting in the hard yards and focusing
on our tackling.”Gill and St. George’s teammate Karsten
Leitner will be relied upon heavily as veter-an players. Both are part of the B.C. RugbyAcademy.
“There is some real parity in the U18rugby competition this year with Quebecemerging as a top side, Ontario always pos-ing a challenge and with Alberta proving tobe a tough team,” Williams added.
B.C.’s opening match against Albertathis afternoon (4:30 p.m.) will be a repeatof the 2012 national final where theydowned Alberta 40-16 in Sherbrooke,
Quebec. B.C. will also face Ontario andNewfoundland in round-robin before theplayoff rounds start on Saturday.
Meanwhile, another Richmond RugbyClub product will be suiting up for theTrueBlue U17 men’s provincial team whichwill be competing in the tier two tier com-petition of the U18 championships.
McRoberts secondary student NolanHowell is a member of the B.C. squadthat will be taking on Nova Scotia, NewBrunswick and Saskatchewan in pool play.It marks the first time ever BC has entereda second team at the tournament.

Rapids enjoy best ever showing at provincialsThe Richmond Rapids
enjoyed their best show-ing in club history at theB.C. “AAA” Long CourseChampionships, placingsecond overall and comingwithin a top eight finish ofwinning it all.
The Rapids finishedThursday’s finals sessionin seventh overall, andslowly started to climb upthe rankings, due to hugeefforts from their athletes.
Morgan Mark, who nowswims for the Universityof Hawaii, claimed fourmedals for herself, threein the freestyle disciplines.Three 11-year-old Rapidsdistinguished themselves,as Matthew Crawford suc-cessfully defended his 100backstroke title from shortcourse; Jeremy Fung earnedhis first provincial medal inthe 1500, and Dini McIverwalked away with two med-als from her provincials
debut.The Boys 14 and under
relay team won all threecontests – a feat that thisgroup of swimmers hasbeen able to do severaltimes. The Boys U12 teamwere able to bring homethree bronze medals to addto the collection.
As the meet progressed,the top five teams changedplaces after nearly everyevent, regularly with fewerthan 50 points separat-ing first from fifth. It wasa monstrously dramaticSunday finals, with theRapids swimmers making ahuge push to put the teamat the top of the listings.
“This was the crazi-est session I’ve ever wit-nessed,” says coach AlexPettifer. “In all my yearswith BC swimming, I’venever seen tighter competi-tion.”
The impressively enthu-
siastic Rapids cheeringsection was attempting toput as much effort into theirshouting as their team-mates were putting intotheir races, and elevated theatmosphere of an alreadyclimactic finals.
What does this mean fornext year? Coming so closeto victory has only madethe club hungrier to be atthe top, to continue chas-ing what no Rapids teamhas ever done – finishingas provincial team cham-pions. Clearly the club hasthe speed to accomplish thetask.
“It will take a cleanermeet,” says coach DrewMcClure. “There weremissed opportunities allover the place. Our firststep should be racing harderin prelims and having moreRapids in finals. It’s clearthat all of our athletes stepup at night – that’s not the
issue. We just need more ofthem with a lane. That’s thegoal for next year.”
