Lee wouldn’t have been fined if he had declared birds, but officials say he still wouldn’t have been allowed to keep them

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

Being greedy has proved costly for a Van-couver man, who tried to smuggle 29 song-birds into Canada last April.

Kwok Sing Lee was fi ned $7,500 in Richmond

provincial court on Thursday after pleading guilty to two counts under the Health of Ani-mals Act.

He was also charged with one count of fail-ing to report in person at a customs offi ce, but that charge was stayed following his guilty plea.

According to Canada Border Services, Lee returned to Canada through the Vancouver International Airport on a fl ight from China.

His declaration card indicated he had no birds.

But the border services’s detector dog, Lady, who is trained to detect agricultural goods, indicated to Lee’s carry-on bag. Inside, border services offi cers discovered wooden boxes containing birds.

Lee told the offi cers he purchased the birds at a market in China. He admitted the birds had not been inspected.

He was carrying three species of songbirds: red billed leiothrix, melodious laughing thrush and Oriental magpie robin.

Lawyer David Clements, an agent for the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, said the importation of songbirds from China is absolutely prohibited because of the fear that disease pathogens the birds might carry with them.

Lee fl ew into Vancouver from Guangzhou, China, where the highly-pathogenic avian in-fl uenza virus is considered endemic.

Clements said last month that because of the serious risk to health to not only wildlife but humans in Canada, that Lee was facing a major fi ne.

Lee returned to Canada on April 13 of this year, and was found trying to smuggle 29 songbirds on his carry-on luggage, of which eight had died in transit.

Nearly all drivers see others illegally using cellphones

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

Idiotic, dangerous driving seems more prevalent in B.C. than any-where else in Canada, according to a new poll.

The national survey of drivers by Angus Reid Public Opinion found 95 per cent of B.C. drivers spotted others talking on cellphones in the past month, more than in any other region and well above the national average of 90 per cent.

B.C. respondents also reported above-average rates of drivers speeding (93 per cent), tailgating (83 per cent), turning without sig-nalling (85 per cent), changing lanes without warning (83 per cent) and running red lights (63 per cent).

Seventy-one per cent had spot-ted a driver multitasking – such as reading, checking text messages or applying make-up – compared to 65 per cent across Canada.

And 56 per cent here had seen

drivers invade a crosswalk with pe-destrians in it, far above the 33 per cent national rate.

“There’s a lot of bad behaviour we’re seeing on the streets,” said Angus Reid vice-president Mario Canseco, who is based in Vancou-ver and reports similar observations himself.

He said the apparent rate of illegal cellphone use is shocking consider-ing B.C. has outlawed the practice for more than two years.

“It’s just bizarre that we keep see-ing people using their cellphones,” he said.

But Canseco noted 81 per cent of B.C. respondents said only a few of the drivers in their city were bad drivers, while 19 per cent said most to all others on the road were bad.

He said that result – better than the national average – suggests mo-torists here on the whole are fairly safe but a few particularly reckless drivers are highly visible.

The only area where B.C. scored better than the national average was in littering, which only 43 per cent of respondents here witnessed recently compared to 46 per cent nation-wide.

Other fi ndings of the poll found 43 per cent of B.C. motorists said they’ve honked their horn at a bad driver, 27 per cent swore, 18 per cent waved their fi st, arm or hands, 16 per cent made an obscene gesture and nine per cent called police.

Trinity Western University’s new degree completion program helps adults with unfinished business


Wasted university credits will become valuable once more

and transformed into ap-plicable workplace skills thanks to a new local edu-cational offering by Trinity Western University.

Starting this fall, locals will be able to complete their unfin-ished post-secondary under-graduate degrees, putting good use to unfinished education that could pay off inside the work-place.

“Leadership is the number one discipline in degree comple-tion,” explained Philip Laird, associate provost at Trinity Western, which will in the fall of 2014 open a new campus in downtown Richmond.

Whether you’ve studied the arts or sciences at college or university, the first couple of years of that education could still translate into a boosted paycheque.

A degree in leadership is some-thing employers value, and this program will arm students with skills that can enable them to advance in their companies.

“It opens doors that wouldn’t be open before,” Laird said.

The university will begin to of-fer the adult degree completion program in Richmond this fall, after introducing the program in 2008. The program is currently offered in Langley, Bellingham, Wash. and online.

There are many people who for one reason or another—marriage, children, work—were unable to complete their post-secondary degrees, said Laird.

The new program will allow these people to get credit for their first couple of years of university or college education, and then take up to two more years to complete their degree requirements.

What’s more, they can do so while working.

Classes will run on Wednes-days from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Richmond Cultural Centre, with new courses beginning every six weeks, enabling adults to finish their degree in as little as 18

months, depending on the num-ber of course credits that remain outstanding.

Asked why offer this program in Richmond, Laird said: “We see Richmond as really the gateway to Canada in terms of interest internationally.”

There’s a rule of thumb for peo-ple seeking to complete their degrees, he said: They won’t

drive more than 30 minutes to get to their destination.

So by building their campus in Richmond, and offering a full slate of programs, they’ll be able to reach a greater Vancouver-area audience, thanks in large part to the Canada Line, which is a stone’s throw from where the new campus will be completed by 2014.

Two years of classes will cost about $25,000, and the student will walk away with a bachelor of arts degree in leadership, Laird said.

Those who already have em-ployment will find new opportu-nities for advancement open to them, either within the organiza-tion itself, or outside of it.

For those interested in more information about this program, a pair of information nights have been scheduled for Septem-ber and October, but space is limited.

To learn more about BA in Leadership, visit the Richmond Cultural Centre on Wednesday, Sept. 12 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., or on Monday, Oct. 1, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. To book a spot at the information night, visit www.trinitywestern.com or contact Sandy Cameron at [email protected].

Classes will be kept small, and are designed for engaging, interactive adult learning.

Plans call for graduate-level post-secondary programming at the Richmond campus in the future.

The new 22,000-square-foot facility, scheduled to open in the fall of 2014, is funded courtesy the developers at Quintet on Mi-noru Boulevard, along with a $4 million investment in program-ming and technology by Trinity Western.

The yet-to-be constructed building that will house the university will also be home to a new community centre for down-town Richmond.

Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper has re-jected suggestions his government is consid-ering pushing through the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline across northern B.C.

Harper was asked about Enbridge Inc.’s pipeline project at a stop in Vancouver Tues-day, and the frequent accusation that he has already decided it is in the national interest for it to proceed.

“I’ve been very clear that decisions on these kinds of projects are made through an in-dependent evaluation conducted by scientists into the economic costs and risks that are asso-ciated with the project,” Harper said.

“I think that’s the only way governments can handle controversial projects of this manner, to ensure that things are evaluated on an in-dependent basis, scien-tifically, and not simply on political criteria.”

Harper told report-ers he has spoken with B.C. Premier Christy Clark and other pre-miers about pipelines, but those conversa-tions are private. It’s his first public com-ment since a dispute

erupted between Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford in July over Clark’s demand for more revenues.

“I’m not going to get into an argument or dis-cussion about how we divide hypothetical rev-enues,” Harper said.

He did emphasize that in general, it is important for Canada to diversify its trade and open up new mar-kets in Asia. The federal government is planning “huge investments” to improve environmental protection for shipping

resource material, but it won’t favour any in-dividual project, he said.

Kinder Morgan hopes to twin its existing oil pipeline from Alberta to port and refinery fa-cilities in Burnaby, to transport more heavy oil from the Athabas-ca oil sands. But the company has not yet formally applied for federal environment assessment.

Clark initially said her government would wait until the federal assess-ment of Enbridge is con-

cluded in 2013 before deciding whether to support it. Then in late July, the B.C. govern-ment presented a list of five preconditions, including a positive recommendation from the federal review.

The others are “world-leading” oil spill pre-vention and response capability on land and at sea, meeting legal requirements to con-sult and accommodate aboriginal groups along pipeline routes, and a “fair share” of oil rev-enues for B.C.

Pipeline won’t be imposed on B.C., prime minister vows

Don’t rush carbon tax review, Metro urges

Metro Vancouver politi-cians want the province to take more time to consider the future of B.C.’s four-year-old carbon tax and not rush to either reject further increases or axe the tax altogether.

The province is review-ing the tax and the regional board voted Friday to call for an extra 90 days of pub-lic comment beyond the current Aug. 31 deadline.

An extension would give Metro and its member cit-ies more time to consider the issue and formulate positions on how the tax should be improved in the years ahead.

The board is also remind-ing Victoria that it is already on record supporting the carbon tax – Metro’s In-tegrated Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Manage-ment Plan endorses contin-ued increases in the tax.

Vacant lot at Gibbons Drive has become area eyesore


A Richmond senior is calling on city offi cials to enforce the city’s unsightly premises act.

Beryl Woollard, 85, has lived on Gibbons Drive—a pricey area near Terra Nova on Westminster High-way—since 1984, and fi rst called Richmond home in 1969.

There’s a property at 4280 West-minster Hwy. that used to have a house one it, but that was torn down many years ago.

Now the property sits fallow, and has devolved into an overgrown jumble of weeds and tall grass.

“I consider it an eyesore and an affront to our community,” Wool-lard said.

Gibbons Drive is among the most sought-after areas in terms of real estate in Richmond, with some of the city’s highest priced houses.

But the gateway to the area, which has a baseball park across the street from it, hardly looks like a gem.

The untended property is just the latest blemish for the neigh-bourhood, which once housed a

massive methamphetamine lab in-side a house that has subsequently been torn down.

Woollard said the ballpark is frequently used, and that means more people are seeing the mess of a property, which serves as a backdrop of the outfi eld to parents, players and fans as they look to-ward the outfi eld.

“It makes the street look ter-rible,” Woollard said.

Woollard is hopeful the city will reach out to the owner of the prop-erty, and strongly urge him or her to deal with the overgrowth.

City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend said he would look into the complaint, but was unable to provide a comment before press time Tuesday afternoon.


Three people are scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday in Richmond provincial court after pleading guilty to 26 counts under the city’s tree protec-tion bylaw.

Amandeep K. Dhillon, Paramjit S. Pan-dher and Karpal Singh were accused of preparing a site for rezoning, and damag-ing 27 trees before the site assessment

process had been completed.A property at 22391 Westminster Hwy.

was eyed for a residential development, and at one point, protection had been put in place for the trees on the prop-erty.

But those barriers were removed at some point, and the three men, linked to a B.C. numbered company (0740769 BC Ltd.) went ahead with preparing the site and in doing so damaged a variety of species of trees.

Resident calls for action on dumpy property


Every two years, once the Olympic torch is lit and the confetti from the opening ceremonies has been swept up, we begin to learn a little something about the human spirit.

And about human nature.We’re blown away by what

athletes can and do accom-plish, often in the face of overwhelming odds.

National heroes are born every day for two weeks — even if the lifespan of that public ardour is painfully short.

Eventually, however, that impressive drive to give as much as it takes to win, clashes with a ‘win at any cost’ mentality.

We’ve already seen it in London, as four teams of badminton players did their best to throw their respec-tive matches in an effort to draw easier partners in the next round.

Never mind that they were on a world stage, where excellence and effort are the whole point of the exercise.

Never mind the thousands of people in the stands who had paid good money for their own Olympic experience — to watch elite athletes battle it out for a chance at athletic glory.

No, once they’d been (rightfully) given the boot, the excuses started. One player even announced she would be quitting the sport in protest.

Some commenters have defended it as an accept-able strategy.

What it was, in fact, was a disgraceful display of disrespect for their sport, the fans and the Olympics themselves.

Happily, though, it was but a small blight on what has otherwise so far been a fantastic show.

We’ve watched in awe as

cyclist Clara Hughes — a multi-medal winner in both the Summer and Winter Games — rode to fi fth spot in the time trials, only to learn afterward she’d broken her back in a fall two months earlier.

Diver Alexandre Despatie returned to the board to earn a bronze in men’s syn-chronized diving — perform-ing the same dive he’d been

doing earlier this summer when he smashed his head on the diving board.

Now that takes guts.Even the equestrians,

like Langley’s Hawley Bennett-Awad, risk life and limb on some of the most hair-raising courses out there to bring home a bit of hardware.

Those are just the Cana-dian examples — and only

the ones we’ve witnessed so far.

With some of the nation’s best medal hopes yet to compete, it can only get better.

Forget the Real House-wives of wherever. Never mind the pickers and the hoarders.

This is reality television at its best.

Pipeline posturing doesn’t help

The B.C. Liberal government is taking its new

hard-line approach to federal environmental hearings on the En-bridge Northern Gate-way pipeline proposal in September.

Environment Minister Terry Lake has fi led the B.C. gov-ernment’s notice to cross-examine Enbridge, one of the world’s biggest pipeline operators. Lake outlined the “tough questions” B.C. representatives will ask about spill response capac-

ity on land and sea, tanker escort tugboats, pipe wall thickness, and Enbridge’s sluggish response to a pipe-line rupture in Michigan.

That’s all fi ne, and to be ex-pected after Premier Christy Clark’s high-profi le confron-tation with Alberta Premier Alison Redford going into the recent premiers’ meeting in Halifax.

Clark’s demands for “world-leading” safety and spill response, as well as meeting the constitutional obligation to consult and accommodate aboriginal groups along the route, are mostly a statement of the obvious. Her call for a “fair share” of proceeds from exported oil to refl ect B.C.’s risk has been assaulted from all sides.

Pipeline opponents seized on Clark’s suggestion that a major oil spill might be toler-able if there was enough money in it for B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix picked up the theme as he conducted his own belated tour of the

proposed route to reiterate his opposition.

There had been earlier hints from Alberta that B.C. might need further rewards for the risk. But when Clark made the “fair share” demand public, Redford was moved to channel Margaret Thatcher, declaring: “The Premier of Alberta is not going to blink on royalties.” The lady’s not for blink-ing, but neither is B.C.’s Iron Snowbird, as Preston Manning dubbed Clark this spring.

All this political theatre doesn’t amount to much. I’ll stand by my January predic-tion that the Enbridge pro-posal is unlikely to proceed, mainly due to the tangled state of aboriginal claims. Wealthy U.S. foundations that view the B.C. North Coast as their 500-year eco-experiment will be happy to help fund a decade of legal challenges, while continu-ing the media-spinning and protest support they are doing now.

Even if some way can be found to levy a B.C. tax on revenues from the Northern Gateway pipeline, it’s no so-lution. For one thing, it would confer an advantage to the Trans-Mountain pipeline that has been shipping Alberta oil to Burnaby and the U.S. for more than 60 years.

The competing expan-sion proposal by Trans-Mountain’s current owner, Kinder Morgan, shows the inconsistency of opposition to pipelines. Does anyone really believe that a new pipeline built to the highest standards ever would be too dangerous, while a 60-year-old pipeline is acceptable?

Protesters have an easy target in Kinder Morgan. With a tenfold increase to 25 tankers a month proposed to sail under the Lions Gate bridge, a heavy oil spill from Second Narrows to Stanley Park would be catastrophic to Vancouver’s environment and economy. Tankers have made that trip safely nearly 100 years, but the congested

modern shipping lane offers more threat of collision, and clearing Burrard Inlet for near-daily tanker transits would disrupt the rest of B.C.’s shipping trade.

An Angus Reid poll last week showed as many as half of respondents remain open-minded about the costs and benefi ts of new oil pipelines across B.C. Unlike B.C. politicians, they seem interested in learning more before making up their minds.

Dix and the NDP ran to the front of the anti-pipeline pa-rade early, as they did with the carbon tax and other issues. Clark began the Northern Gateway discus-sion with a principled posi-tion to wait for the result of the federal review, but that’s apparently out the window with an election looming.

Editor:The thief, as will become appar-

ent, was a special type of thief. This thief was an artist of theft. Other thieves merely stole everything that was not nailed down, but this thief stole the nails as well.

—Terry Pratchett

It seems that stealing is becom-ing quite an art in our beloved Steveston and beyond. My wife Willa, and her friend drove to Garry Point, parked the car and locked their purses in the trunk as they planned a walk along the shoreline. Upon arriving back and unlocking the trunk, they were shocked to discover some-

one had stolen both purses. There was no evidence of

forced entry. The loss of two purses put two women into a very stressful situation.

They reported the theft to the RCMP and within two hours the thief was able to get cash advances of $800 plus $200 in gas from Petro Canada and Chevron. In the days ahead the inconvenience of having all one’s personal I.D. stolen caused loss of time and headache.

Willa made four different trips to ICBC, taking her passport. but that wasn’t suffi cient as they required two pieces of identifi ca-tion. She explained again that all

her information was stolen, she returned with her birth certifi -cate and her passport (“but your name is different”), then her marriage certifi cate. She was told it would take fi ve weeks to get a new driver’s licence. Along with all her cards and informa-tion, her purse contained, cash, car keys, photos and house keys, etc.

Will the police follow up know-ing that there are photos of the cash advances at the Bank of Montreal and Petro Canada and Chevron photos of the licence number for the gas purchases?

Theft results in loss of time and heartache

Editor:The tragedy at Wisconsin Sikh Temple in Oak

Creek Wisconsin, on Sunday, Aug. 5, has shocked the entire 25 million strong Sikh community around the globe.

Six innocent people have lost their lives and a few more are fi ghting for their lives in the hospital. One of the victims—a priest—had just received his green card and had arrived at the temple only four days ago. Our heartfelt sympathies go to the fami-lies of the victims. May their souls rest in peace. We pray for the fast recovery of the injured.

This senseless act of violence has raised a num-

ber of questions. Why would this former soldier with a twisted mind pick the place of worship of a very peaceful, peace loving, hardworking and generous community to commit such an abhorrent act of violence? What prompted him to commit this horrifi c crime?

This, coming right on the heals of the Colorado movie theatre tragedy has raised even more ques-tions for the society in general and the authorities in particular. Let’s hope that tragedies like these never happen again.

Editor:If the likes of David Chung and his shark-fi n deal-

ing cohorts take Richmond City Council to court for banning shark fi ns on grounds of “racism” and “discrimination,” they are walking into a trap of their own making.

Right now, a group of self-interested shark-fi n profi teers in San Francisco is taking California to court for banning shark fi ns state-wide for over a year, during which time no business in Chinatown has failed due to the ban.

Much more important is a poll revealing that 76% of Californians and a full 70% of Chinese Californians support the ban. Richmond will fare likewise.

I ask these people why not also charge the standing bans on elephant ivory, tiger bone and rhino horn for being racist and discriminatory. I am Chinese myself, and would like to see them sue, just for the pleasure of seeing them lose.

Richmond building Bantam powerhouseby Don FennellSports Editor

Wait till next year may be a popular refrain in sport, but the manager of Rich-mond City Baseball’s Ban-tam AAA team insists he’s not spouting hyperbole.

“I don’t want to think too far in advance, but you can’t help notice there are potentially seven re-turning players,” says Alex

Klenman, who guided a primarily fi rst-year Chuck-ers’ team to within a vic-tory of the semifi nals at last weekend’s provincial championship at London Park. “The differences between a fi rst- and sec-ond-year player is pretty obvious and statistically rarely takes a step back. That could translate into 10 to 15 more wins.”

Entering as the seventh

seed, Richmond was pooled with the likes of No. 2 Abbotsford Angels and No. 3 Vancouver Mount-ies which turned out to be the deciding factor in the tournament. The Chuck-ers’ only losses were to the eventual fi nalists, with Vancouver ultimately edg-ing Abbotsford 6-5 in the title game Sunday. Boast-ing a strong defence, solid hitting and top-level pitch-ing, Abbotsford scored a 7-1 win over Richmond on Thursday, while a similar-ly-powerful and veteran Vancouver squad started strong and never wavered in an 8-0 victory Saturday afternoon. Vancouver will now represent B.C. at the nationals Aug. 23-27 in Vaughn, Ont. and Abbots-ford at the westerns Aug. 17-19 in Regina.

Richmond, 22-19 in league play, defeated Victoria Red Eagles (which had defeated the Chuck-ers in all three regular-season match-ups) 15-5 Friday and Cloverdale Red Spurs 9-1 in a must-win game Saturday morning thanks in large part to a fi ve-run fi rst inning and solid pitching from Mitch-ell Rennie.

Klenman said for a team to realistically compete for a provincial championship it needs at least eight top-level pitchers on its ros-ter. He adds at least half of them must be capable of dominating at any time, throwing the way the An-

gels and Mounties did versus the Chuckers.

“Baseball is pretty simple when you break it down,” he added. “You need to have good defence, pitch-ing and timely hitting.”

Klenman is proud that the Chuckers—to a player—made consistent strides over the course of the season and will make

even further progress in this off-season. He hopes the majority will play fall ball from the beginning of September through mid-October, and is planning a challenging schedule that may include games against U.S. teams. The games will help to fur-ther evaluate prospects for next season’s Bantam

AAA team.At the conclusion of fall

ball, the Chuckers will begin extended indoor training two or three days a week through to next spring when they’ll resume outdoor practices. Klenman hopes to have some “high profi le” guests instructors for some of the indoor training sessions.

“We’ve always had a successful development program but we want to ramp up the training more than in previous years,” said Klenman, who is even considering taking the team to Arizona dur-ing Major League Baseball spring training and hope-fully schedule a few games against U.S. teams.

Hosts go 2-2 at provincial AAA baseball championships, narrowly missing semifinals

Richmond Maritime Festival

Martin van den Hemel photoJeremy Coon, engineer on the Japanese research vessel Kaisei, and a group of prospective volunteers for this week’s maritime festival at the Britannia Heritage Shipyard on Tuesday. The vessel is open for public tours from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday during the 9th annual festival, which kicks off Friday at 7 p.m.

Richmond Maritime Festival returns to Britannia Heritage Shipyard with tall ship, concerts

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

At age nine, actress Shirley Temple became a millionaire, Mozart

began composing symphonies and American gold medal fig-ure skater Peggy Gale Fleming took up skating.

Also—this weekend—the Rich-mond Maritime Festival enters its ninth year with plenty of family-friendly attractions to carry the weight of such expectations.

Among those making an appear-ance is Crabby the Crab. He’s no millionaire, composer or gold med-allist, but he has support from tall ship Kaisei, emerging folk-pop band Headwater and the historic Britan-nia Heritage Shipyard to make for a fun festival weekend.

The Richmond Maritime Festival runs Friday, Aug. 10 through to Sunday, Aug. 12 at the historic Ste-veston shipyard. Admission is free to the event, as are the ship tours, children’s activities and entertain-ment jam-packed into the weekend.

It all starts with an evening of music on Friday from 7 to 9 p.m., with the indie folk-pop band Head-

water headlining. Emceed by CTV’s Norma Reid, the evening will also feature the taiko drumming group Tetsu Taiko and the Eire Born Irish Dancers.

Two days of maritime activities—Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.—follow, with attractions suitable for landlubbers and sailors alike.

Visitors are welcome to explore local maritime lore, board rare wooden boats and create their own nautical works of art. Picnick-ing is encouraged while taking in entertainment courtesy of musi-cians, roving performers, painters, woodcarvers, potters, stilt-walkers, puppeteers, storytellers, dancers and drummers.

A centrepiece at this year’s festi-val is the 151-foot Kaisei tall ship, which visitors are welcome to board and see up close.

Maritime-themed displays, colour-ful characters and exhibits chroni-cling the history of Canada’s West Coast fishing industry are also on deck all weekend.

The band is also one of 20 fi nalists in this year’s PEAK Performance Project, the fourth annual radio station contest that offers experience and a shot at a prize package worth $100,000.

From Page 12They’ve been lucky

enough to make a living with music for a few years, and by most ac-counts, a hit single can’t be far away.

“I think we’re getting pretty close,” said Matt Bryant of Headwater, which performs Friday, Aug. 10 at Richmond Maritime Festival. “If not from this record, maybe the next record we put out might actually get us some serious attention and really make a name for ourselves. We’ve been working hard for a long time trying to get a fan base together. Now we’ve got one, and we’ve got a sense of where to go with it.”

Bryant, who plays gui-tar, mandolin and sings, said the band has a simple goal that hasn’t changed: to make really good music that people like a lot.

Headwater formed several years ago when Bryant and his longtime pal Jonas Shandel put away their rock music leanings to play acous-tic tunes that people would enjoy.

On the local folk circuit they met Patrick Metzger and Tim Tweedale, rounding out the Headwater lineup that produced records My Old Friend in 2006 and Lay You Down in 2009. They became known as stringed-instrument specialists

with music steeped in sounds from the guitar, mandolin, banjo, steel guitar and bass. Drums weren’t necessary.

“That was really empowering for us,” said Bryant of learning to eschew percussion. “Our grooves weren’t as good with a drum-mer before that. When we lost the drummer and started just doing string-band music, the grooves got heavier and we got better. It was sort or sink or swim, and we swam.”

It was good music education, but today the drums are back. Headwater released its latest album Push

in May—a journey into the pop-rock genre. It’s a departure from the roots and folk the band had been known for—with comparisons with Tom Petty, Peter Gabriel and even Katy Perry—

but the steel guitar, mandolin and banjo are still there.

Headwater has had a busy summer. A gig this past weekend took the band to the Koote-nays to perform at the Kaslo Jazz Festival. Next month, the band is in Calgary.

Their live shows are known for experimen-tation, improvisation, dancing and even howl-ing. So what’s in store for the Friday crowd in Richmond?

Said Bryant: “They can expect a whole lot of energy, some really good singing and some great tunes to listen to.”

Richmond Maritime Festival visitors to get first-hand look at Project Kaisei’s research

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

It shook the core of a country 16 months ago, but the impact is still being felt across an ocean.

After a 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck Japan on March 11, 2011, a tsunami as tall as three storeys washed over the coun-try’s northern shores killing thousands and washing entire towns out to sea.

Tsunami debris is now washing up on far-away shores, or fl oating aimlessly in

the Pacifi c Ocean. That debris has found its way onto the radar of Kaisei, a tall ship now docked in Steveston for this week-end’s Richmond Maritime Festival.

The 46-metre (151-foot) brigantine is the ship behind Ocean Voyages Institute’s Project Kaisei, an ocean initiative that launched its fi rst expedition in 2009. It has been sailing through the North Pacifi c Gyre to understand the impact of waste in the ocean and how to potentially remove it.

Kaisei is one of the tallest ships to ever dock in Steveston.

Mary Crowley, co-founder of Project Kaisei, is hosting a press conference at Britannia Heritage Shipyard today (Wednesday) to provide an update of the ship’s latest research.

Physical debris is only one focus of Proj-ect Kaisei’s tsunami research. Scientists are also taking large water samples to examine the degree of radioactivity—from an earthquake-crippled Japanese nuclear power plant—bring spread throughout the ocean.

A continuing focus of Project Kaisei is to raise awareness of society’s use of perma-nent materials for disposable products.

“Unfortunately our lifestyle of the last 30 years has created a terrible problem for the world’s oceans,” said Crowley in a video posted on Project Kaisei’s YouTube channel.

“We have to change the world. We have to change the way we’re treating the oceans, and the way we’re treating the planet.”

Doug Woodring co-founded the project with Crowley after learning about the vol-ume of non-biodegradable plastic fl oating in the Pacifi c. The mass of debris—esti-mated to be twice the size of Texas—is caught in ocean currents.

Visitors to the Richmond Maritime Festi-val will be able to board Kaisei and get a fi rst-hand understanding at how its crew conducts ocean research.

Boarding opportunities are Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sun-day from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Marquardt’s silver medal hasn’t lost any of its lustre

by Don FennellSports Editor

It’s been nearly a week since Rich-mond’s Darcy Marquardt and her Canadian teammates fi nished sec-ond to the U.S. in the women’s eight rowing fi nal at the London Olympics, but their silver medals haven’t lost any of their lustre.

“The silver medal is a physical rep-resentation of all the long hours of

hard work over the past 10 years,” Marquardt told The Richmond Re-view. “What a great way to top off my career. I’m so excited to share this hardware with everyone who has sup-ported and cheered me on along the way. It wouldn’t have been possible otherwise.”

Describing the fi nal as “an incredible race,” Marquardt, 33, said the Cana-dian crew laid it all out on the course. She said the Americans, which won in 6:10.59, just under two seconds faster than the Canadians in 6:10.59, enjoyed a great start and it was up to the Canadians to chase. She added she had full belief they weren’t going to let the Dutch (which fi nished third in 6:13.12) catch them like they had

at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 when they passed Canada en route to sil-ver. Canada wound up fourth behind bronze-medalist Romania.

Marquardt said the Canadians found their rhythm going into the second 500 metres and really gained ground with an effi cient middle 1,000 metres.

“We said before the race that we were prepared as individuals as as a crew to have the race of our lives and I’m proud to say we did,” she said. “We left no stone unturned and had no ounce of energy left.”

But Marquardt, who placed fourth in her fi rst Olympics in Athens in 2004 competing as a pairs rower, said she wasn’t prepared for the fl ood of emotions that followed on

the podium dock when they saw their families waving and cheering from the stands.

“These are the people who believed in us throughout,” she said.

Marquardt and her fi ance (Canadian swimmer Richard Hortness, a two-time Olympian who helped the men’s 4x100 metre freestyle relay team to a fi fth-place fi nish in the heats at Lon-don) are now spending the rest of the Games taking in the other sports and enjoying the sounds and sites through the closing ceremonies. They then plan to relax for a week or two in Spain and France before heading back to London, Ont. (where they’ve lived and trained) to pack up and plan a permanent move to the west coast.

“SAVANNA”, ID # 235874, SF, MALTESE X PAPILLON, 10 YEARS 2 MONTHSSavanna was adopted from the BCSPCA 2 years ago, but unfortunately there was a break up in the family. Savanna is back again hoping that her next home will be forever. She has always been an indoor dog but when left alone she gets anxious and does bark as she loves hanging out with people and going for car rides. Savanna is shy by nature, cuddly, and enjoys being a lap dog but she should not live with young children as she had a bad experience in the past with having her tail pulled. Gentle, older children would be okay. Savanna knows how to “sit” and walk on a leash. As she is a mature dog, regular care will need to be taken with her teeth.

> Summer WHAM at West Richmond Community Centre

Living a healthy lifestyle is important for

everyone, but it does get trickier with age.

This is why Volunteer Richmond’s fourth annual Summer Wellness, Health and More (WHAM) event, which took place last Thursday at West Rich-mond Community Centre, aimed to help seniors fi nd the resources they need to live well.

The event, put on in partnership with the City of Richmond, was attended by close to 100 seniors who enjoyed refreshments and had the opportunity to talk to 22 organizations who had

information tables set up around the community centre gym.

“Our seniors seem to be very receptive to the event,” said Kathleen Holmes, the chair of Summer WHAM and a volunteer at Volunteer Richmond.

“There is a wealth of information that the organizations put out,” Holmes said.

A highlight of the event was guest speaker Anthony Kupferschmidt of the Alzheimer Society of BC, who spoke about Alzheimer’s disease and reducing the risk of dementia.

“We had a wonderful guest speaker,” Holmes said. “(Brain health) is a big topic now.”

Those who attended the event also had a chance to win health and wellness-related prizes throughout the day including a fi tness punch card and a fi re extinguisher.
