101 things to do in Richmond

Looking for gifts for the heartSharing Farm needs new operations centre, launches local crowdfunding campaign

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

Many of the people who rely on The Sharing Farm for the most nutritious part of their daily meals don’t even know of its existence.

As Richmond Food Bank execu-tive director Margaret Hewlett aptly put it, “when somebody’s in a crisis situation, that’s not a piece of information they’re looking for, or even take in.”

But that lack of awareness—exacerbated by the language barriers on ethnically diverse Lulu Island—makes the daily supply of fresh fruits and veg-etables grown by the hundreds of volunteers and a handful of part-time staff at Terra Nova Ru-ral Park no less critical.

Teens urged by father to open Presto Print in 1978


Much has changed in Richmond since Heather Kaplan and her sister Laurel Wright ventured into the world of business as teenag-ers, at the urging of their father back in 1978.

At that time, the Richmond High students were being taught to run an AB Dick one-colour printing press in their graphics com-munication class at school under the guidance of teacher Ron Zadorozny. And their dad, Allan Wright, had learned from a friend of a new printing process that eliminated the need for making a metal plate and was much faster.

“It all kind of fell into place,” Kaplan said from Presto Print’s offices at 13988 Cambie Rd.

Their dad had the insight to invest in the equipment for the business, which first opened on Bridgeport Road at No. 5 Road, and has provided a great career for the sisters and helped them forge long-lasting relationships with the business community.

“He decided to invest in our future that way,” Kaplan said.

While Richmond has grown into a full-fledged city, and technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, one thing has remained the same in the past three-plus decades: if you keep your customers happy, they’ll continue to return and spread the positive word too.

This month, Presto is celebrating its 35th anniversary of catering to mostly small and medium sized businesses, offering business cards, letterhead, envelopes, tickets, cheques, and photocopies among other things.

Over all those years, they’ve never had to hire a salesperson, relying almost exclusively on drawing in customers by hanging a shingle on the sidewalk, and word-of-mouth.

Presto survived despite naysayers proclaim-ing doom-and-gloom about the printing industry with the advent of home printers and other technological advances.

Laurel Wright said she and her sister take pride in the quality of the products they cre-ate, and being able to work with customers who know very little about what they want, but who walk away extremely happy.

It’s been their secret to success, one copy at a time

A sister act for 35 years

From Page 1Every year, the blood, sweat and tears

of those who work the 4.5 acres of City of Richmond-supplied soil at The Shar-ing Farm, results in some 30,000 pounds of apples, strawberries, tomatoes, broc-coli, lettuce, garlic, bok choy and gai lan, destined for the plates of some 1,000 people each week.

This year, there were plans to renovate the multi-car garage that had served as the make-shift hub for the entire farm-ing operation, where the perishable harvest was washed, sorted and kept cooled.

But then a rodent problem, and the discovery of mould, derailed the project.

On Thursday, the garage was razed, leaving the farm without a centre of operations for the foreseeable future.

So added to the daunting task of run-ning a farm on a barebones budget and extremely limited resources was yet another job: overseeing a monumental fundraising project.

The goal: to build a new farm centre.The cost: $170,000.The timeframe: as soon as possible.“In reality, it would become our first

real farm centre,” Frazer said of the new hub, the sketches of which are available at sharingfarm.ca. “For us, the amount of money is astronomical, more than our annual operating budget.”

Further complicating matters is the fact that the hub is gone at the height of the season, when droves of community volunteers roll up their sleeves in hopes of making a real difference in the lives of needy local families.

So The Sharing Farm is hoping to speed up the fundraising process through crowdfunding, hoping that the tens of thousands of local families recognize the importance of their work, and will contribute what they can afford, a few dollars at a time.

The effort was launched Thursday on the indiegogo.com crowdfunding web-site. Details are available at tinyurl.com/TheSharingFarm.

Crowdfunding has helped with all sizes of projects, including when entre-preneurs sought to raise capital to fund the construction of a high-tech watch—the Pebble, which is currently on sale—

that links directly to smartphones. Same goes for the effort to pay the owner of a video purporting to show Toronto May-or Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine. As well as the filming of a movie for fans of the TV teenage-detective show Veronica Mars.

Frazer said this fundraiser will help countless locals for decades to come.

“This is not going to be a temporary structure,” she said. It will house facilities to clean and store the harvest, as well as park crucial farming equipment.

Thus far, the community’s support for The Sharing Farm has been amazing.

The City of Richmond has supplied the land in West Richmond, as well as the Gilbert Road Community Gardens, for growing food, as well as the water necessary for irrigation and a variety of facilities at no cost.

City spokesperson Kim Decker said the project is being reviewed for possible inclusion in the city’s capital campaign.

But the need is now for a new facility, and Frazer is hoping local residents, as well as the corporate community, will recognize the urgency for the unique facility.

The lack of a garage will impact the efficiency of the farm’s operations, and will eventually reduce its output, which will translate into less food for those who can least afford to go without.

Mack Foster, owner of Mack Foster Building Materials Ltd. doing business as RONA (at Gilbert Road and Elmbridge), said his Richmond store will be donat-ing $15,000 to the building effort after being impressed by what he saw during a tour of the site a couple of weeks ago.

“I think it’s a really good cause. Just looking at the way they do things, there’s not a lot of big payroll going to administration and they’re putting food into people’s kitchens that can’t afford it,” he said.

Vancity has also stepped forward to support The Sharing Farm, providing a $15,000 Envirofund grant.

Martin van den Hemel photoThursday’s demolition of this garage, which was the centre of operations for The Shar-ing Farm—which provides tens of thousands of pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables to local needy families—served as the launch for a crowdfunding effort.

Community support for farm has been amazing

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

A promised referendum on new TransLink taxes or tolls was the topic of debate among MLAs in the B.C. Legisla-ture Monday.

It came as a private member’s motion was tabled to reinforce the BC Liberals’ election campaign promise to put any new TransLink revenue sources to a vote at the same time as the November 2014 municipal election.

Opposition New Democrats continue to oppose the idea, saying it threatens to keep Metro Vancouver transit stuck in neutral for years to come while the region keeps growing and congestion worsens.

“It’s a referendum that assures us that nothing much gets done till 2015, at least,” said NDP MLA Shane Simp-son (Vancouver-Hastings).

He said the Liberals have failed to solve TransLink’s fi-nancial bind nearly three years after a September 2010 agreement with Metro Vancouver mayors to hammer out new funding sources.

Simpson said the paralysis at TransLink extends back to 2007, when then-Transportation Minister Kevin Falcon “had a snit” over the elected board’s deliberations about building the Canada Line and replaced them with ap-pointees.

But New Democrats weren’t the only ones critical of the government’s record.

Newly elected Liberal MLA Marvin Hunt (Surrey-Pan-orama), who sat on the old TransLink board as a Surrey city councillor, told the Legislature past premiers Glen Clark and Gordon Campbell both share blame for Trans-Link’s failure to secure needed funding over the years.

Clark’s NDP got cold feet on implementing a $75 per year vehicle levy for TransLink in 2001, Hunt noted, and then the Campbell Liberals likewise cancelled a new parking stall tax after $5 million had already been spent preparing property assessments.

Hunt said both premiers argued they were listening to the public while TransLink wasn’t.

A referendum is the only way to end the perpetual con-flict between provincial and regional interests, he added.

“I believe the taxpayers are the only ones that can actu-ally settle this so that we can get on with building transit and transportation in the Lower Mainland.”

TransLink officials estimate $23 billion is needed over 30 years to both maintain the existing system and add new rapid transit lines.

Metro mayors have suggested funding options includ-ing a vehicle levy, road pricing and a regional sales tax.

George Heyman, the NDP’s new critic for TransLink, said the province should cancel the referendum and in-stead hand authority back to locally elected mayors and councillors. “To let the future of the transportation system in the region hang on a vote in a referendum, I think is dangerous,” Heyman said in an interview.

He said the Liberals never held a referendum on Port Mann Bridge tolls or BC Hydro projects, and aren’t likely to do so on the promised replacement of the George Massey Tunnel either. Heyman noted TransLink faces significant cuts in service hours between 2013 and 2015 because expected new funding sources will not have ar-rived in time.

TransLink also risks losing $100 million a year in federal matching funds because it won’t be able to stump up its share, he said.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone, who wasn’t pres-ent for the debate, has yet to give a clear indication of what the referendum question might look like.

He’s pledged to consult closely with Metro mayors.

Bristol Court condos on Ryan Road hit with $2.7 million in repairs


More headaches for local lease-hold condo owners, this time in the South Arm neighbourhood where dozens of residents were recently informed they live in a building that needs sizable repairs.

Leasehold real estate properties can be purchased like regular properties, but they revert back to the landlord after a specified period of time, with leases running up to 99 years.

While buyers own the lease and enjoy the property at often below-market prices compared to similar-sized strata condos, they also have legal obligations to maintain the building and return it at the end of the lease in the same condition as when they purchased it.

Footing the bill at Bristol Court, 8020, 8040, 8060 and 8080 Ryan Rd., will be the leasehold purchas-ers themselves, who will be doling out tens of thousands of dollars each over the next two years, ac-cording to a notice by Westsea Con-struction that was obtained by The Richmond Review.

While Westsea Construction, the company that owns the four build-ings, declined to comment for this

story, their notices gave a detailed picture of what was happening.

“Beginning on June 24, 2013, Bristol Court will undergo remedi-al work, which includes demolition and replacement of the cladding, windows, sliding doors, guardrails and associated work...Please be advised that both interior inspec-tions and asbestos abatement will require access into your unit,” one notice states.

“The total costs of the project are estimated to be $2,729,338.67 (including taxes). Your portion ac-cording to your unit entitlement is shown below; each individual leaseholder’s portion has been di-vided into 12 equal payments. Pay-ments are due on the first of each month starting August 1, 2013 and ending on July 1, 2014.”

And for those who opt not to pay?“Interest at 6 % will be charged on

all overdue balances.”For one homeowner, the bill is

$76,520.68, though it’s unclear if this is for one home, multiple units, or the result of a typo. Most residents are paying an additional $1,400 to $2,300 per month for a year.

If this story sounds familiar, you might recall the residents of Sus-sex Square, another multi-building leasehold condo complex near Granville and Railway belonging to Westsea Construction, where own-ers faced similarly hefty repair bills, averaging $47,000 per unit.

Many residents at Sussex Square

banded together to hire a lawyer, and take Westsea to court. But the B.C. Supreme Court ultimate-ly ruled against the homeown-ers, who had failed to prove their claim that Westsea was negligent in maintaining the building and alleging Westsea’s actions contrib-uted to the damage.

Five condos at Bristol Court are currently for sale, but there’s no mention in the descriptions of the assessment in any of them on real-tylink.org.

Local realtor Peter Wen, who is listing a 693-square-foot one bed-room, one bathroom apartment at Bristol Court for $116,000, said there’s a requirement by law to dis-close to potential buyers about the assessment the owners face.

He declined to disclose his client’s share of the bill.

Another two-bed, one bath 966 square foot condo is listed for $155,000, and billed as “total reno-vated...owner spent $40,000.”

But it also says: Roof repair 2011, balcony repair 2010.

Another description goes as far as to say: “Great opportunities for first time buyers and investors.”

At Bristol Court, a meeting to in-form the residents about the multi-million dollar repair bill was held in the parking lot outside one of the buildings on June 26.

“Please bring your umbrella if it is raining,” the notice said.

For most residents, it must have felt like it was pouring.

Leasehold condo owners get big repair bill

Footing the bill at Bristol Court, 8020, 8040, 8060 and 8080 Ryan Rd., will be the leasehold purchasers themselves,

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities.

Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in.

Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats.

Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help.

Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

Poisonous gases roll through dense neighbourhoodsby Jeff NagelBlack Press

Authorities are playing down con-cern over potential for a deadly rail disaster in the Lower Mainland after a runaway train laden with crude oil destroyed much of the Quebec town of Lac Megantic.

Shipping oil by rail has been on the upswing as pressure grows to get landlocked Alberta oil out to global markets.

Train loads of crude oil aren’t yet rolling through Metro Vancouver for export, but there’s growing specula-tion that could come, particularly if proposed new pipelines are rejected. (Small amounts of crude have come by truck or train to Chevron’s Burn-aby re� nery at times when it was unable to get enough supply from the over-subscribed Trans Mountain pipeline.)

But poisonous or explosive gases do roll on rail through heavily devel-oped Metro neighbourhoods and those are the train cars that are of greatest concern to emergency re-sponders if a train derails.

Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis said one risky substance is propane, which is explosive and heavier than air, so it

doesn’t readily dissipate.Other chemicals that move on rail

in this region include chlorine, hy-drochloric acid and sodium hydrox-ide, which spilled from CN Rail cars into the Cheakamus River in 2005, killing half a million � sh.

Rail disasters are a “low frequency, high risk” threat that emergency re-sponders in the region prepare for, he said.

“We haven’t taken it lightly,” Garis said.

But he emphasized the rail indus-try’s safety record moving danger-ous goods has steadily improved since a 1979 chlorine leak in Missis-sauga, Ontario forced the evacuation of 218,000 people.

That incident triggered major regu-latory reforms, including beefed-up tanker cars for hazardous goods.

“The rail cars that carry commodi-ties that pose risks are designed to roll over, they’re designed to crash into each other end-on-end, so even if they do derail, they’re designed to withstand the consequences of that,” Garis said.

“The track record in recent years is extremely positive.”

Garis also noted the volumes of such chemicals moving here are relatively small.

Unlike derailments in rugged slide-prone parts of B.C., Garis noted the Lower Mainland is mostly � at and trains move slowly so risks of an ac-cident are reduced.

North Vancouver energy consul-tant John Hunter said Lac Megantic underscores the fact that pipelines are safer than rail transport of oil.

He said more should be done to protect area residents from a chemi-cal or hydrocarbon spill from a train along CN line on the North Shore, in close proximity to residents.

Hunter suggests a siren to warn residents to take emergency action.

“I think it’s highly unlikely we’ll ever have one, but I think we should have a noti� cation system in case some-thing goes wrong.”

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said the Quebec disaster is a “wake-up call” on rail safety and for the federal gov-ernment to ensure there’s adequate regulation and enforcement.

But she noted dangerous chemi-cals like propane and chlorine may be a greater threat when carried in heavy trucks on the roads with other tra� c.

“You have to look at the risks,” she said of hauling by rail. “It’s either that or put it on a truck.”

Jackson recently came back from a fact-� nding trip to Norway on that country’s approach to moving oil.

While there are no plans yet in southern B.C. for an oil-on-rail export terminal, Jackson said she wants to be “well-versed” on that and related port issues.

“We are a major port here in Delta-port, and from eveything I can see, it is going to continue to grow.”

Chemicals, not oil, are the riskiest rail cargo on Metro trains

With June, the gradu-ation month justaround the corner,our thoughts turn tonew drivers, especial-ly new teenage driv-ers. Last week wedescribed BritishColumbia’s original

Graduated LicensingProgram [GLP]. Thegoal of the originalprogram, introducedin August 1998, was to tackle the awfulstatistics: 35% of all deaths in the 13 to21 year s age group caused by car acci-dents; and 20% of all new drivers involved in crashes within their first two years ofdriving.

Initially the results were positive. Duringthe first two years, the new driver crashrate went down 26%. But most of theimprovement was by Learners rather thanNovices who remained 45% more likelythan experienced drivers to be involved incrashes.

The carnage continued. On March 21st,2002, four Delta teens were killed whenthe teen driver failed to stop at a stop signat the intersection of 57B Street andDeltaport Way and was broadsided by asemi-trailer. The teen driver, licensed foronly two weeks, was the only survivor.On May 31st, 2003, a 19-year-old driverand his three friends, after watching ahockey game and drinking, attempted todrive home together. The driver wove inand out of traffic at high speed and col-lided with a truck on the other side of ablind hill on Cedar Hill Road in Victoria.In this case, the three friends and thetruck driver survived while the teen driv-er was killed. On July 18th, 2003, fourfriends were involved in a single-carhigh-speed crash on the Old IslandHighway. Their car crashed into a con-

crete utility pole justbefore 4 a.m. All fourwere thrown from thecar. Two of the fourdied from their injuries.

Prompted by thesetragic events andresults in other GLPjurisdictions, the BCgovernment madechanges to the programthat came into effect onOctober 7, 2003. These

changes are more than fine-tuning. Theyextend the basic two-year term of theGLP to three years: a 12-month Learnerterm (reducible by 3 months for certifieddriving training) plus a 24 consecutive,prohibition-free month Novice term. ALearner must be accompanied by asupervisor 25 years of age or older with avalid Class I-5 driver’s license and mayhave only one passenger in addition tothe supervisor. A Novice is limited toone passenger only, excluding immediatefamily members, unless he or she isaccompanied by a supervising driver 25years or older. Immediate family mem-bers are defined as father, mother, broth-er, sister, spouse, children, and grandpar-ent including the same step or foster rela-tions. Novices who receive a driving pro-hibition must go back to the beginning ofthe novice stage, that is, they lose allaccumulated driving experience time andmust start again at Month 1. For a com-plete outline of all the Learner andNovice rules, visit the ICBC websitewww.icbc.com.

The immediate reaction to these changeswas predictably mixed. With fingers-crossed, we look forward to positiveresults from these changes to the pro-gram.

Ethanol is an alcohol-based fuel made by fermenting and distilling starch crops or from cellulosic biomass.

In North America, using ethanol to fuel internal combustion engines, either alone or in combination with gasoline, has been undertaken as part of the effort to reduce dependence on imported oil and to reduce the harmful environmental impact of purely petroleum-based fuels.

From 2000 to 2007, ethanol fuel production tripled globally from 17 billion to more than 52 billion litres. In 2011, worldwide ethanol fuel production reached 84.6 billion litres. The US and Brazil are the top producers accounting for approximately 62% and 25% respectively of global supply.

Most cars on the road today in the US can run on blends of up to 10% ethanol or E10 —known colloquially as ‘gasohol’. Flex fuel vehicles are specially designed to run on gasoline, E85— a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline, or any mixture of the two. The cost of ethanol blend fuel, the effect on vehicle performance, and the net fuel efficiency are variable depending on region and vehicle type, although reportedly there is no noticeable difference in the performance of flex fuel vehicles running on E85.

The rapid growth in ethanol fuel production, distribution, and usage in the past decade has challenged almost all of the assumptions and predictions underlying this initiative. No aspect is without controversy from the effect on oil prices, food production, poverty reduction, deforestation and soil erosion,

biodiversity, water resources and, indeed, on even the most basic assumptions—that biofuel production is sustainable and net carbon neutral. Environmental advocates hold opposing views. Politicians have been all over the map in terms of their support and then non-support.

As the biofuel debate continues, so it drives and is driven by ongoing research offering new possibilities for answers, but also highlighting new challenges and problems. One new BC-based possibility is the production of ethanol from large-scale seaweed farms. Research from the University of Victoria suggests that, (quote) “the climate benefits of converting … brown seaweed to ethanol are considerably greater than the advantages conferred by corn-based ethanol.

Seaweed production requires no arable land, uses no fresh water, and most importantly, the ethanol produced has a considerably lower carbon footprint than corn-based ethanol, which makes up five per cent of the renewable content in our gasoline and four per cent of our diesel fuel.” (end quote)

Media attention on this research into a seaweed-based ethanol industry in BC coincided with new BC regulations, effective July 1st, setting a dual standard for automobile fuels including minimum requirements for renewable content and the goal to reduce carbon intensity by 10 per cent by 2020.

According to Statistics Canada, annual consumption in BC of gasoline is 4.5 billion litres and of diesel 2.2 billion litres. The University of Victoria research suggests that at maximum capacity, a seaweed-based ethanol industry could annually produce 1.3 billion litres of ethanol. Another possible benefit: this would build on BC’s ‘artisanal’ seaweed farm industry that already produces raw materials for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and food for export.

Keepsafe Mobile Storage no longer in business, but 30 units remain unclaimed


Darcy VanIeperen is seeking to re-unite 30 owners with their belong-ings.

Trouble is, the Elite Bailiff Services worker doesn’t know who the own-ers are, and they don’t know what they’re missing.

In August of 2012, Keepsafe Mobile Storage, at 11482 River Rd., went out of business.

And while most of the 80 original owners who rented units in the fa-cility between Shell Road and No. 5 Road have been notified, the identity of more than two dozen other own-ers remains a mystery.

VanIeperen said back in December, the owner of the storage company, Garry Rempel, provided the bailiff company with an incomplete list of clients.

According to a story by CBC, at least one owner continued to pay his monthly rent, completely unaware the storage firm went belly up, and his belongings were in the hands of a bailiff.

VanIeperen believes some unwit-ting locals are continuing to pay their monthly rents, oblivious to the firm’s status.

If you rented a unit at Keepsafe Mobile Storage, you’ll have to pres-ent your identification, as well as a copy of your rental contract, to get your stuff back.

If you have neither, VanIeperen said you’ll have to be able to identify the contents of the lockers.

“It’s just terrible,” VanIeperen said.For more information, call 604-539-

9900 or e-mail VanIeperen at [email protected]

Carbon credit costs add up

The Vancouver Coastal and Fraser health au-thorities spent more than $1 million each on carbon offsets last year.

A provincial govern-ment report detailing the mandated purchas-es shows UBC spent the most on offsets – $1.7 million – while school districts spent a com-bined $4.5 million.

Government bodies must buy carbon offsets through B.C.’s Pacific Car-bon Trust to make up for their own greenhouse gas emissions as part of the province’s policy of carbon neutrality launched by former pre-mier Gordon Campbell.

Offsets bought in 2012 totalled $18.8 million, with health authorities making up the single largest contributing sec-tor at $5.7 million.

Critics have called the program a waste of scarce public sector money as schools and hospitals can’t eliminate their own emissions to avoid the charges.

An audit of the Pacific Carbon Trust also found some of the made-in-B.C. offset projects that received funds did not credibly reduce emis-sions.

Premier Christy Clark has directed new Envi-ronment Minister Mary Polak to reform the off-set system.

Water plant averted boil warning

A heavy rainstorm last October would likely have triggered a boil-water advisory affecting many Metro Vancouver-ites had the region not constructed its massive water-filtration plant on the North Shore.

A Metro water qual-ity report for 2012 said the storm last fall stirred up sediment in the Sey-mour watershed, but it was filtered out by the new $817-million Sey-mour-Capilano Treat-ment Plant.

Metro utilities commit-tee chair Darrell Mus-satto said in previous years it would likely have caused a boil water ad-visory to a million Metro residents, as happened once before in 2006.

The new treatment plant still isn’t yet filter-ing water from the Cap-ilano reservoir, because of lengthy delays com-pleting connecting wa-ter tunnels.

opinion

Feeding the hungry is one thing. But nourish-ing them with healthy

foods like fresh fruits and vegetables is becoming an increasing priority at the Richmond Food Bank.

Those efforts will be seriously hampered for the coming weeks and months, as The Sharing Farm in West Richmond limps along without a much-needed operations centre.

On Thursday, the previous make-shift hub, a rodent infest-ed and mould tarnished garage, was torn down.

What’s needed now is a re-placement, which could cost as much as $170,000.

Like a phoenix rising from the

ashes, the half-dozen part-time farm staff are hoping the death of the old facility simply marks the birth of a new one.

But that won’t happen without the entire community rallying together.

There’s an urgent need for funding for the new operations centre.

With each passing day, the farm’s operations become less efficient, and the annual pro-duction of some 30,000 pounds worth of fruits and vegetables will slowly diminish.

And with this being the height of the growing season, the timing for the loss of the hub couldn’t be much worse.

But there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.

The Sharing Farm is located in

one of the most generous com-munities in the Lower Mainland. One with a reputation for self-lessness. One that has repeat-edly stepped forward to assist when help was needed most.

And with local infants, chil-dren, young families and seniors likely to be hardest hit by reduced access to nutritious foods, the cause couldn’t be more worthwhile.

The City of Richmond has done its part, supplying the 4.5 acres of land, as well as free water for irrigation, and office space, as well as the money for the demo-lition of the garage.

Organizers are hoping that crowdfunding will solve the problem.

Locals can visit the indiegogo fundraising website, at tinyurl.

com/TheSharingFarm, and do-nate as little as $25 or as much as $10,000 to the effort.

The initial goal is to raise $40,000, which will be enough to buy the kit for the new facil-ity.

Mack Foster, owner of the RONA on Gilbert Road and Elm-bridge Way, has already stepped forward from the corporate community to commit $15,000 to the build.

Vancity has done the same, committing another $15,000 from its Envirogroup fund.

At this rate, with other gener-ous corporate donations, the goal of $170,000 is certainly achievable.

Do you suffer from any of the following:• Unstable dentures when speaking, laughing,

eating or even smiling?• Use denture adhesive goo?• Difficulty eating certain or many foods?• Unable to enjoy the taste of foods you used

to enjoy because of palate coverage and plastic bulk?

If you answer YES to any of these questions, you may want to consider finding out if dental implants are an option for you. Some denture wearers do not experience enough problems to feel fed up with their dentures (yet). Most denture wearers are not even aware of the vast improvements that implant dentistry can provide to their health, happiness and well-being. If you’re curious, even if you’re not ready yet, it is worth your while to get the information.

“Over the last twelve years and several upper dentures, realignments and much discomfort, I consulted Dr. Nelson. Dr. Nelson recommended implants that would secure and hold my denture in place. The surgery was quick and painless. My existing denture was fi tted onto the implants and it was a perfect fi t!It is indeed great to know that such procedures are available to troubled denture wearers. I smile even more now and with more confi dence.”

Editor:Richmond is planning to

spend more than $6 million on an unproven Olympic Experi-ence concept to help oval attendance, when it could increase local tourism with a proven desirable short-term recreational vehicle park for only a tiny fraction of the cost.

In September 2009 for the BC Senior Games in Richmond, I coordinated a RV park on the land east of the Richmond Olympic Oval, and another RV park at the South Arm Pool and Tennis parking lots. Both lots were successful with 100 RVs staying during the games. It was profitable.

A much more modest service was provided the following February for the 2010 Winter

Olympics. Despite it being win-ter here and no marketing be-ing done but an internet ad a month in advance, the tempo-rary RV park attracted people from as far as Whitehorse, Colorado, and Los Angeles. It was profitable.

Once something is on the Internet it is there forever, so I still get emails and calls about RV sites in Richmond! People wishing to stay while their child undergoes surgery, or park while going on guided fishing or hunting trips, or in most cases wishing to stop here for a few nights while heading south or north, or for a tournament.

MacDonald Beach is an attrac-tive park with plenty of space, a water supply and showers and

a caretaker. It is only a three-km walk to the Canada Line transit to Richmond shops and attractions and events.

Add a 15 amp electrical hookup and wi-fi and over $50/space daily is possible. Though a sani-dump is also desirable, if stays are limited to three to four days it isn’t essential. Subse-quently, if RV visits become as popular as in past, a pump out service or sani-dump could be added later.

While Richmond is consider-ing spending millions on an Olympic Museum to boost oval attendance a bit, it seems so obvious that Richmond should spend thousands to provide for RV tourists to visit.

Editor:As a first-time parent

in 2003, I worried about returning to work in the midst of a childcare shortage, particularly for infants and toddlers. 10 years later, and after enrolling three children at Bowling Green Chil-dren’s Centre, our time has come to say good bye.

My husband and I learned so much from the talented early childhood educators at Bowling Green. They taught us strategies to deal with challenging behaviour and opened our eyes to the amazing things our children were capable of. They helped prepare us and our chil-dren for kindergarten. And, at the end of every day, they made us feel as if our children were special.

The Society of Rich-mond Children’s Centres is a non-profit organiza-tion currently running Bowling Green, Cook Road and Terra Nova Children’s Centres. Un-der the guidance of their dedicated executive di-rector, Nicky Byres, and board of directors, the society provides an out-standing service for our community. Luckily for Richmond families and businesses, the society

is growing and will soon open the West Cambie Children’s Centre.

Sadly, 10 years after having my first child, the overall shortage of qual-ity childcare, particularly for infants and toddlers, still exists. As parents, we don’t work to buy fancy cars, Jimmy Choo shoes or go on elaborate

vacations. We work to pay our mortgages, afford orthodontics and give our children music lessons. We may work, but we also devote ourselves to our children. Childcare is not about delegating the raising of our children to someone else. It is about a community of care—one that allows

families to be financially stable, keeps skilled and educated workers in the workforce, and nurtures our future leaders.

To Nicky and the Bowl-ing Green teachers—our heartfelt thanks for all you do. The Pan Family will miss you immensely.

Teresa PanRichmond

Editor:Thanks to the quick

action and co-operation between RCMP-led Integrated National Security Enforcement Team in BC, CSIS, RCMP and other law enforce-ment agencies, a major tragedy has been averted from happening.

All of these agen-cies must be com-

mended for prevent-ing carnage in our provincial capital on Canada Day.

It is hard to imagine as to why the two Canadian born and bred suspects would even think of killing and injuring innocent Canadians celebrating this country’s birthday with a great deal of enthusiasm.

This goes to show that no community or country is safe from these fanatics with twisted minds.

Thank God the dedicated profession-als charged with the safety and security of this nation and its citizens are pro-active, vigilent, alert and on the ball.

Margot Berwin, the author

of Scent of Dark-ness, has created a mesmerizing novel that transports the reader to the dark, hot bayous of Louisiana, where Tarot card readers, fortune tellers and healers populate the story.

Evangeline, a young woman whose grand-mother Louise is an aromata, or creator of scents, is left a gift that is both intriguing and troubling. When Louise dies, she leaves her house in the tiny town of Cyril to Evangeline. Inside is a white room that has always been off limits to Evangeline.

When Evangeline first goes to the house after her grandmother has died, she finds a young man, Gabriel, inside, studying. She comes to believe that Louise has sent Gabriel to her as a special gift. No sooner do the two realize their mutual attraction, than they start to explore the house.

Upon entering the white room, they find a special elixir in a ruby vial that has been left for Evangeline. Cau-tious about opening it, since the warning accompanying it tells her that her life will change forever once the vial is opened, Evangeline decides to take the chance. Once she opens the vial and places the liquid on her neck, her life is irrevo-cably transformed.

The scent from the ruby vial makes Evan-geline instantly irresist-ible to everyone—men, women, and animals.

Not understanding the powerful effect of the scent, Evangeline and Gabriel attempt to car-ry on with their lives. But soon enough they realize that Louise’s gift to Evangeline is both a blessing and a curse.

Gabriel asks Evan-geline to go to New Orleans with him while he’s studying medicine, and she agrees, having nothing to hold her to Cyril. Once there, they meet their new landlord Michael Bon Chance, a painter, who is instantly drawn to Evangeline. Likewise, she is inexplicably drawn to Michael, while still in love with Gabriel. She says “I didn’t belong to myself anymore; the power of my scent had made me public property.”

Soon after meet-ing her, Michael asks Evangeline to “sit” for him while he paints her. Bored and unem-ployed, Evangeline takes up his offer, not realizing that this is the beginning of the road to destruction for her and Gabriel. What transpires in between is filled with fortune tellers, predictions and a restlessness that can’t be quenched. Evange-line says at the end “I had been in love with two men at the same time, and one was evil and one was good.”

The story, while com-pelling in its premise, is as slow moving as thick oil. But the setting of New Orleans exudes the smells, sounds and sights that only Loui-siana can conjure up. Engulfed in the heady mix of scents and lust, Evangeline learns that sometimes what looks like a gift can turn out to be a curse.

I haven’t read any-thing quite like Scent of Darkness before, but I enjoyed its meandering storyline and sensual premise. Berwin is also the author of Hothouse Flower and the Nine Plants of Desire.

DEVELOPED BY

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

Provincial Health Of-ficer Dr. Perry Kendall is wading into the debate on increased coal exports through Metro Vancouver, backing calls for a health impact assessment on a proposed new terminal on the Fraser River.

He spoke out Wednes-day, a day after Vancouver council voted 9-2 to ban coal movement, handling or storage within Van-couver city limits as a pre-emptive strike against any similar proposal.

“I think it would be eminently sensible,” Ken-dall said when asked by Black Press if he supports the requests from Lower Mainland medical health officers for a health impact assessment.

He noted Dr. Patricia Daly of Vancouver Coastal and Dr. Paul Van Buyn-der of Fraser Health have raised potential risks to the public from air qual-ity degradation and coal transportation issues re-lated to the Fraser Surrey Docks proposed terminal, which could see eight mil-lion tonnes of coal per year

loaded from trains onto barges.

“I think it makes sense to ask the proponent to do the studies,” Kendall said.

“I think it would be a use-ful thing to do because it might indicate risks that can be mitigated. If you can demonstrate you can mitigate the risks it might reassure folks.”

Kendall denied he has authority under the B.C. Public Health Act to order a health impact assess-ment – a City of Vancou-ver staff report said he can mandate one.

“I don’t have that power,” he said.

But Kendal noted the province delegates its air quality authority to Metro Vancouver, so the regional district has considerable power to require further study at the permitting stage.

Port Metro Vancouver is expected to rule at any time on the Fraser Surrey Docks terminal.

It previously approved an expansion of Neptune Terminals in North Van-couver to export more coal, but the terminal operator there has yet to make a formal application

to Metro Vancouver for an air quality permit.

Metro Vancouver Air Quality District Direc-tor Ray Robb confirmed he could – if he decides it’s necessary – require a health impact assessment either in advance of an air

quality permit decision or as a condition of granting one.

Vancouver’s revision of its zoning bylaw to block any coal exports there came in response to in-dustry inquiries about the potential to ship coal from

private waterfront land in the northeast corner of the city.

Politicians from the Kootenays spoke out at the council meeting in defence of the coal indus-try, arguing it supports thousands of jobs in their

region alone.Richmond Coun. Harold

Steves, who has fought the port’s incursions into agricultural land, said he doubts the City of Vancou-ver’s ban has real teeth to block a new coal terminal there.

The port has taken the position it can supersede the Agricultural Land Reserve if necessary to develop new terminals, Steves noted, and he said it could likewise use its federal powers to override Vancouver zoning.

PUBLIC NOTICERECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act.

Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013.

The Title of the Initiative is:An initiative to amend the Police Act.

Summary of Initiative:The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Opponent Registration:Individuals or organizations who intend to incur expenses as opponents must apply for registration with the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, August 12, 2013. Registration applications for opponents are available from Elections BC.

Initiative Advertising:Individuals or organizations who sponsor initiative advertising, other than the proponent and registered opponents, must register with the Chief Electoral Officer before they conduct or publish initiative advertising. Registration applications are available from Elections BC.

Who May Sign the Petition:Registered voters as of Monday, September 9, 2013 may sign the initiative petition. Individuals may only sign the petition once, and must sign the petition sheet for the electoral district in which they are registered at the time of signing. Signed petitions are available for public inspection.

For More Information:The initiative application and draft Bill are available for public inspection on the Elections BC website and at the Elections BC office at the address below.

101 things to do inRichmond


Summer is here and the time is right for checking out the many things to do around Richmond. Here’s a list of some of the many fun things you could do on a Richmond staycation.

1. Iona Jetty. How would you like to take a walk right out into Georgia Strait? The Iona Jetty stretches nearly four kilometres into the water and features a walking or cycling path atop a large sewage outfall pipe. That’s much better than it sounds. The jetty is at the northwest tip of Sea Island.

2. Richmond Maritime Festi-val. From Aug. 9 to 11, celebrate the seas at Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site. It’s the 10th anniversary of the festival, which features maritime displays, entertainment, children’s activi-ties and much more. Among the vessels taking part this year is the tall ship Lady Washington. See www.richmondmaritimefestival.ca for info.

3. London Heritage Farm. Home to a fully-restored, 1880s-built farmhouse and located in a park-like setting across from the South Arm of the Fraser River. The house is open to the public with entrance by donation and features six rooms, including a country-style tea room which serves “Lon-don Lady”—London Farm’s own blend of tea—and homemade scones. 6511 Dyke Rd., www.londonheritagefarm.ca.

4. The Gulf of Georgia Cannery is a national historic site that com-memorates the fishing industry. The Steveston site was used as a cannery, reduction plant, and net loft beginning in 1894. There are exhibits and a gift shop. Its artifact collection totals 10,000 items relating mostly to salmon, her-

ring and halibut fisheries. 12138 Fourth Ave., www.gulfofgeorgia-cannery.com.

5. Steveston Dragon Boat Festival. Late August promises to deliver a great day of fun, entertainment and paddling in the form of the Steveston Dragon Boat Festival Aug. 24. The fun begins at 9 a.m. with racing as well as an assortment of food, activities and vendor booths. By 11 a.m., entertainment on they main stage will heat things up even more.

6. Go golfing. If you love to hit the links, then Richmond is the place to be. The selection of golf courses and practice ranges is extensive, sure to satisfy even the most discerning of players.

7. Steveston Community

Pool. Neatly nestled inside Steveston Community Park, just in behind the community centre, the Steveston Outdoor Pool is one of the city’s underrated rec-reation gems. The six-lane heated outdoor pool is 25 metres long, but also features a three-metre slide and a shallow pool for the youngsters. To top it off, there’s even bleacher seating.

8. Paws for a Cause. Sun-day, Sept. 8 promises to be a “fur”tactic day in Richmond, as Scotiabank and the B.C. SPCA present their annual walk featuring hundreds of two- and four-legged participants raising funds for neglected and home-less animals. Registration is at 11:30 a.m. and the walk at 1 p.m. at Garry Point Park.

cluded in a downtown Richmond complex that also houses the main branch of the public library and the city’s cultural centre and archives, the Richmond Museum’s collection was started in 1961 by a group of local residents and today contains over 12,000 artifacts relat-ing to the city’s history.

23. Watermania. The name pretty much says it all. Part of the extensive Riverport Sports and Entertainment Complex that also includes the six-rink Richmond Ice Centre, Watermania offers a complete aquatic and fitness expe-rience under one roof—including a 57-metre competition pool, one and three metre springboards, a five-metre tower, an interactive wave pool, and a pair of water-sides. Oh, and there are two large whirlpools and a 3,000 square foot fitness centre too.

24. The Zone Bowling. Get into the Zone and enjoy the magic of cosmic bowling, where every Tues-day is dinner and bowling night.

25. Dolphin Basketball Clas-sic. Since its creation as a summer event for bragging rights between Richmond high school friends, the four-on-four classic has evolved into one of North America’s pre-mier outdoor hoops events.

26. Terry Fox Run. Inspired by a dream to eradicate cancer, the annual Terry Fox Run will be held in Richmond Sept. 15 at Garry Point Park. Registration will be at 8 a.m., with the one, five and 10-kilometre

runs starting at 10 a.m.27. Nations Cup. Billed as West-

ern Canada’s Premier Summer Soc-cer Tournament, the 34th annual Nations Cup kicks off July 19 to 21 at Hugh Boyd Park. The unique concept of grouping players based on their ethnic backgrounds and/or countries or origin creates an exciting atmosphere that provides players and fans alike the chance to express their ethnic pride.

28. Watching/photograph-ing the planes landing at YVR. It’s a long held tradition among local residents to head over to Sea Island and check out the action in the air. On any given day, particu-larly the clear summer ones, it’s commonplace to see eyes and cameras focused on the skies as planes of all sizes take off or land at Vancouver International Airport.

29. Richmond Sockeyes. The best Junior B hockey team in Western Canada (winners of the 2013 Keystone Cup) begins the 2013-14 Pacific Junior Hockey League season in September. The team plays its home games every Thursday, beginning at 7 p.m., at Minoru Arenas.

30. Blueberry Sale & Tea. An annual tradition, Richmond Nature Park’s blueberry sale and tea is back Aug. 5 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. It’s a great chance (or excuse) to have a delicious piece of pie, or you can take home a carton of fresh berries. There’s also the chance for kids aged four to 12 to enjoy a pony ride. Call the park at 604-718-6188 for details.

31. Public skating. It may be summer, but it’s still possible to go ice skating in Richmond. Weekdays from noon to 3 p.m. and weekends from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., skaters of all skills and sizes are invited to take to the ice at the Richmond Ice Centre. For your safety, it’s strongly advised you wear a helmet. And to avoid disappointment, call 604-448-5366 to double check today’s schedule.

32. Steveston Tram. Interurban rail car #1220 has found a home, permanently, in Steveston Park. Originally built in St. Louis in 1913, she worked long and hard carry-ing passengers between Steveston and Vancouver for 45 years through to February, 1958.

33. Richmond Olympic Oval. Ini-tially constructed to host the long track speed skating events during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, the 47,500-square-foot facility has been reinvented as a catch-all for local sports and recreation.

34. Berry picking. Strawberries. Blueberries. Raspberries. Blackber-ries. Whatever your favourite, you’ll find them in Richmond. And with several farms in the ‘hood, there’s a plethora of opportunities to pick your own.

35. Regional summer swim-ming championships. Richmond Kigoos will host the Fraser South Regional Championships Aug. 2 to 7. For many swimmers, this event is the culmination of the summer season. For others, it’s a prelude to the provincials two weeks later in Coquitlam.

36. Go fishing. Since Richmond is made up of a group of islands, located at the mouth of the Fraser River, it’s only natural there are plenty of angling spots. A couple suggestions to reel ‘em in include the No. 2 Road Fishing Pier and float, a historic area at the start of the South Dyke Tail with views of Steveston Island and Cannery Channel, as well as the No. 7 Road Pier which is a restored former barge loading pier.

37. Hoop it up. Richmond’s affin-ity for the roundball game is leg-endary, so there’s a good likelihood of finding a pick-up game any time of the day or night.

38. Take riding lessons. Go ahead, horse around a little this summer. But do so safely by visit-ing one of Richmond’s equestrian centres which offer a full range of expert riding lessons.

39. Learn the art of woodcarv-ing. Started in 1988, the Richmond Carvers Society is a non-profit group of close to 100 members whose goal is to advance woodcarving as a hobby and an art form. But even on their own, beginners may find it enjoyable and rewarding to chip away.

40. Garlic Festival: The fifth annual festival, a fundraiser for The Sharing Farm Society, from 10 a.m to 3 p.m. on Aug. 25. The free-admission/free-parking event is expected to draw about 3,000 people to The Sharing Farm at 2771 Westminster Highway, at the Terra Nova Rural Park.

99. Birdwatching. Richmond is an amaz-ing place to look for a wide variety of feathered friends. There are bald eagles galore, along with a variety of hawks and falcons, and numerous other species. Great van-tage points for viewing

are the north end of Sea Island, as well as the fields of East Richmond.

100. Scaling tremen-dous heights. There are a pair of premiere places to scale tall structures in a single bound. Both the Richmond Olympic Oval and Cliffhanger Climb-ing have outstanding indoor climbing facilities. Cliffhanger is located at 520-3771 Jacombs Rd. and is available by calling 604-276-0012.

REGISTERNOW FORFALL TERM

STARTSSEPT. 21

Musically Ever After:

July 15-19

The Great Gatsby pin curls? Cin-dy Crawford 1980s big hair? Per-haps an Elvis qui� ?

The choice is yours at Steveston Museum’s Styling the Past on Saturday, July 20 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Town Square—the park surrounding the museum.

Hair and makeup stylists from Cherry Makeup and Hair will be o� ering free retro hairstyles to visitors to the museum’s park.

You can sign up for a hairstyle on the day or in advance by call-ing the Steveston Museum Coor-dinator at 604-718-8439. Spots are

limited. Musical entertainment will add

to the atmosphere with return-ing Latin music favourites Sangre Morena playing from 11:30 a.m. The Squares Barbershop Quartet, a group of young men who revel in singing in a cappella harmony, will be taking the stage at 1:30 p.m.

Children will be able to create a � apper style headband or decorate a sailor’s hat. A colouring contest will o� er prizes from Splash Toy Shop and The Candy Dish.

Everyone is encouraged to bring

their blankets and picnic baskets as they relax beneath the park’s shady trees.

Mark your calendars now for two other Picnic in the Past events.

On Aug. 3, relive an old fash-ioned wash day with Washing the Past. On Aug. 17, experience the delights of Japanese culture with Kako no Piknikku (Picnic in the Past—Japan Style).

For more information, call the Steveston Museum and Visitor Centre at 604-718-8439 or visit www.richmond.ca/stevestonmu-seum.

Gulf of Georgia Cannery hostsconcert series Friday night

The Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site’s “Mu-sic at the Cannery” concert series takes place Friday nights at 6:30 pm, from July 5 to Aug. 30.

Every Friday night during the two sum-mer months a different musical act will take the stage, catering to a wide range of musical tastes.

This summer’s line-up contains both old favourites from past years and new acts:

July 12Darren Specht & the

Bluehawks. The Blue-sHawks style is wide and diverse, drawing influences from au-thentic roots and a blend of Chicago styles

mixed with boppin’ jump, rockabilly, mea-sures of Latin jazz and sizzling funk and if the occasion calls, a ballad or a tasty rock n’ roll tune.

July 19Gerry Layton. Gerry

performs the best pop hits of the 1960’s and ‘70’s.

July 26Dancetime Big Band.

Get your feet tapping with this ten piece swing band as they play your favourite big band tunes.

Aug. 2The Jessica Stewart

Few. This folk jazz pow-er trio is one of the hot-test groups to emerge from Canada’s eclectic indie folk scene.

Aug. 9

Hang-Ten Hangmen. These surf rockers trav-elled forward through time to teach the peo-ple of the 21st century how to play surf music!

Aug. 16Now’s the Time. Play-

ing everything from swinging blues and bebop to favourite standards and gentle ballads, this trio is sure to provide a perfect soundtrack for the Ste-veston sunset.

Aug. 23Harpdog Brown &

Brandon Isaak.Once of Canada’s

newest, coolest acous-tic blues duos. Expect infectious harmonies, great songwriting and an exceptional perfor-mance

Aug. 30

Sibel Thrasher. Her smooth and unforget-table voice is always a favourite! Sibel brings her own brand of classy Jazz to Steveston.

Music at the Cannery is generously spon-sored by G&F Financial and produced in collab-oration with The Beat Merchant record store in Steveston.

Admission is by dona-tion.

Concerts are held out-doors on the Cannery’s Tank Deck, so dress warmly for a cool eve-ning.

The Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Histor-ic Site is operated by the non-pro� t Gulf of Geor-gia Cannery Society, on behalf of Parks Canada.

The cannery is located at 12138 Fourth Ave., Richmond (Steveston Village).

For more information, call (604) 664-9009 orvis-it their website at www.gulfofgeorgiacannery.com.

“Food is meant to be social and meant to be shared,” said James Addington, manager of Pier 73 restaurant, next to the Delta Vancouver Airport Hotel on Sea Island.Formerly the Elephant and Castle, the eatery suspended by stilts above the Fraser River o� ers amazing views thanks to tall, wrap-around windows.The trend at eateries is for people to share a handful of dishes rather than order individually, which encourages interaction and stimulates conversation, he said.With an updated menu that picks up on this trend and sources ingredients from local providers who use sustainable

practices—Gelderman pork, Rainier grass-fed beef and salmon caught by local � sherman Rick Burns—customers are sure to enjoy the great food and family-friendly atmosphere.And with summer just three weeks away, there’s 120 patio seats on the restaurant side, and another 60 on the lounge side, for eating outdoors.Pier 73, at 3500 Cessna Dr., has daily and weekly specials, which are available at pier73.com. Follow them on Twitter (@Pier_73) or friend them in Facebook, for updates on food specials. Parking is free; just register your licence plate.

I would like to introduce you to UBC Associate Clinical Profes-sor in Medicine and Richmond Hospital’s lead pulmonologist, Dr. Iqbal Ahmed, who can tell us how this specialized part of our hospital works to serve you and your family:

“Being part of Richmond Hospital’s exceptional Pulmonary Function team is an absolute privilege. The men and women on this team are so passionate about treating patients and improving their quality of life. Many people don’t realize how widespread lung problems are in our community and how vital

successful diagnosis and treat-ment can be. Often those most affected by breathing disorders are highly contributing members of our community, such as con-struction workers who breathe in fine particulate material and fumes or firefighters who may inhale smoke and other foreign fumes.

“Today I want to thank you. It’s because of your generous dona-tions that we can purchase the best equipment for the job.

“If it weren’t for Richmond Hospital Foundation and donors like you, we would have to do without the equipment we so critically need. For example, donor gifts have been made to-ward helping us purchase a body plethysmograph, or ‘breathing box.’ We need this equipment to be able to diagnose a variety of lung conditions, including COPD, emphysema, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, restrictive lung diseases and occupational lung diseases. Our current breathing box has served us well but is now at the

end of its lifespan. “If our aging ‘breathing box’ broke down, we would not be able to have it serviced and could not treat Richmond’s patients. Modern equipment makes a tremen-dous difference in how well we can do our jobs, and so we are very grateful that you can help us bring the right tools to our hospital.

“With your continued support we will be able to continue to go above and beyond in providing quality care to you, our patients and our neighbours. When it comes to living a healthy life, breathing quality air is non-ne-gotiable. The good news is that we’re here. Breathe easy—if you need us, Richmond Hospital is ready to care for you.”

Please tell us your own story. If you have had a positive life-changing experience at Rich-mond Hospital, we would love to hear from you. Please email us at [email protected].

Richmond tops showcase tournamentas Special Olympics BC, BC Soccer unite

Soccer spawns special memoriesby Don FennellSports Editor

It was a spectacle like few others. Where the true spirit of sport shone every bit as brightly as the midday sun.

Over the weekend of July 6 and 7, BC Soccer joined forces with Special Olympics BC to present a showcase tournament at the BC Soccer Girls Provincial B Cup at North Vancouver’s Inter River Park. Amidst the high level

of soccer being played, four Special Olympics squads from Richmond, Ab-botsford, Mission and North Vancou-ver demonstrated the skills of Special Olympics athletes. All four played hard, but Richmond was fortunate to win all of their games and claim gold medals courtesy of BC Soccer.

The Richmond team proved to be a Pawer-ful force, led by showcase tour-nament MVP Brayden Pawer and his head coach/dad Je� . The players were particularly proud of their achieve-ment given the hard work they’ve put in preparing for the Special Olympics Summer Games this weekend in Lang-ley. Richmond will be representing their region at the Games in hoping of becoming provincial champions.

Je� Pawer was ecstatic about last weekend’s partnership between BC Soccer and Special Olympics BC.

“BC Soccer always put on � rst-class tournaments and together will the lo-cal organizing committee on the North Shore this showcase tournament was no exception,” he said. “All of the Spe-cial Olympics’ athletes felt welcome and very much a part of this exciting weekend.”

With respect to Richmond’s success, Pawer said his team came to play hard and use all of the skills and strategies

they have been practising over the last year.

“Each and every athlete contrib-uted in some way to an excellent team showing at this tournament. We were very fortunate that BC Soccer allowed us this opportunity to get in

some competition before the Summer Games.”

The Special Olympics BC–Richmond soccer program provides opportuni-ties for athletes with an intellectual disability to train and compete in soc-cer at whatever level the athlete is

comfortable with. “Regardless of age, gender or ability we have a sport in our soccer program for every athlete with an intellectual disability. We also try and create a social culture where the athletes build strong friendships, team play and sportsmanship,” Pawer said.

A united Special Olympics BC-Richmond team topped the � eldin last weekend’s showcase tournament at the BC Soc-cer Provincial B Cup in North Vancouver.

Midget AAA Chuckersstill � nding their wayby Don FennellSports Editor

While still a work in progress, the Richmond Chuckers are clearly be-ginning to look like a team capable of playo� success.

And certainly that’s the hope of longtime manager Raul Verde Rios, who continues to be optimistic even after the Chuckers dropped both ends of a B.C. Minor Baseball Midget AAA doubleheader last weekend at Latrace Field.

“We didn’t play that poorly in the � rst game, but (as has often been the case) we had one particularly bad inning,” Verde Rios said of Rich-mond’s 7-2 opening-game loss to league-leading Cloverdale.

He was even more encouraged following the nightcap which Clo-verdale won 4-3, but needed extra innings to do so. The winning score was the result of a walk.

Buoyed by the presence of a few Premier league players, Cloverdale is the class of the league as re� ect-ed in their 29-win, two-loss record. But it could be argued Richmond (provincial silver medallists a year ago and currently � ghting for a

playo� spot at 13-17) also gave their opponents too much respect.

“We made some adjustments to try to maximize our potential in the second game and we saw some things we hoped to,” Verde Rios ex-plained. “We know (Cloverdale) is a very good team, but we wanted to see how well we’d compete against a top team. Good teams are going to push your limits and that’s why I’m trying to get our team to do. They’re not out of league, we just to have to be better mentally pre-pared to compete against teams like them.”

Cloverdale built up a 3-0 lead after three innings in the opening game, but Richmond rallied with two in the bottom of the fourth before squandering four runs in the top of the � fth. Michael Yama-guchi with a double, single and RBI and Nikky Mah with a single and double were both 2-for-3 for the Chuckers. The second game was scoreless until the fourth inning—thanks in part to the � ne pitching of Byron Prasad of the Chuckers—when Cloverdale scored twice.

Richmond is scheduled to host Kamloops on Sunday (beginning at

noon) at Latrace Field. Kamloops is 10-19 on the season.

•BANTAMS CONTINUE ROLL: In contrast to the Midget AAA Chuck-ers, Richmond’s Bantam AAA team keeps rolling along. Coming o� winning � ve games to capture the Bantam Wood Bat Classic in Kamloops lasts weekend, defeat-ing the Aldergrove Dodgers 10-4 in the championship � nal, the Chuckers sit second in the league standings with 23 wins against six losses. Vancouver is tops at 27-6, but has played four more games than Richmond.

Mackenzie Marquis threw the � rst three innings of the tourna-ment � nal against Aldergrove, be-fore making way for Ryder Davis for the � nal four innings. The pair combined on a � ve-hitter.

Marquis also scored once, while Marc Ashford and Isaiah Hayes each crossed home plate twice. Alex Dawson, Mitchell Rennie, Spencer Rankin, James Hardy and Logan Newman also scored for Richmond, which is slated to play in Nanaimo and Campbell River this weekend.

Don Fennell photoWith teammate Nikky Mah stepping up to bat, Michael Yamaguchi heads back to the dugout amidst a chorus of cheers after his run brie� y pulled the Richmond Chuckers to within a run of Cloverdale during a B.C. Minor Baseball Midget AAA game Saturday at Latrace Field. Cloverdale, however, went on to win the game 7-2 and topok the nightcap too, 4-3.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

The hot summer weather has finally arrived, and it’s officially time to get away on a long-awaited vacation. What better place to relax with the family than at your own lakeside cottage in sunny Osoyoos?

“You might get only an inch of rain a month here,” says Eric Van Maren, partner of Van Maren Construction Group. The company is currently selling the Cottages at Osoyoos Lake, a gorgeous waterfront property with 284 cottages, tons of amenities and a close proximity to everything Osoyoos has to

offer.A wide range of people have been interested, but Van Maren

notes that something did surprise him.“Many of our buyers are retired or planning to be retired,”

Van Maren says, chalking that up to “Osoyoos is a more relaxed pace of life.”

Many of these buyers are looking to live in their cottage full-time, a serious possibility when the homes range from 1,281 to over 3,000 square feet with two to four bedrooms. With 14

different floorplans to choose from, it won’t be hard to find the perfect space.

“I think the number of retired buyers speaks to the amenities that are available here,” Van Maren says. “These are detached homes for the price of condos.”

You’ll also get access to two swimming pools, a 7,000-square-foot clubhouse and 20 acres of lawn, on top of the 1,500 feet of waterfront and 500 feet of beach.

Buyers with families are also a big demographic at the cottages. Van Maren says the project is perfect for children, who can play on the beach or on the lawn and make friends with other cottage-goers.

The location is definitely the biggest draw for those who want a taste of waterfront living without a high price point.

“This is the warmest lake in British Columbia,” says Van Maren, adding that Osoyoos is also the wine capital of B.C. and has several golf course within 10 to 15 kilometres of the project.

For more information about the Cottages at Osoyoos, visit www.osoyooscottages.com or call 1-855-742-5555.

Cressey is rising above the rest with MThree, Coquitlam’s tallest tower at 48 storeys and the final phase in their very popular Metropolitan Series.

“The response has been phenomenal,” says Cressey Senior Development Manager Jason Turcotte. “We have a variety of homes to choose from, and people are loving the amenities and the finishings.”

MThree joins MOne and MTwo, which raised the bar for condominiums in the neighbourhood.

“Each project has added pieces to the puzzle,” Turcotte says. “The feedback has been great, and I think it’s really helped buyers to physically see what we’re offering here.”

Like all Cressey projects, one of the most amazing features at MThree is also one of the main gathering areas in the home.

“We take a lot of pride in our CresseyKitchens,” Turcotte says. “The kitchen design at the presentation centre is in virtually every home in the project. People love being able to touch and feel the kitchen they will actually have in their home.”

The kitchens at MThree include wood-grained laminate cabinetry, modern under-cabinet lighting and sleek quartz composite countertops, complemented by a glass tile backsplash and integrated European

appliances that will please any gourmet chef.Moving into the bathrooms, you’ll find

a luxurious rain shower head perfect for washing away the day’s stresses, in-floor heating (in the main bathroom in the one-bedroom homes and in the ensuite in the two-bedroom homes) and large handset tile flooring. The ensuite bathroom also includes a limestone countertop, while the main bathroom features marble countertops.

There are a variety of floorplans available, ranging from over 600 square feet to more than 1,000 square feet in the penthouse homes. Every home is built in an open-plan layout to maximize your square footage, and the overheight ceilings add to the sense of space.

The best part of MThree could be The Summit Club, located on the top two levels. With over 9,000 square feet of space, the amenities are spectacular. The clubhouse

includes multiple workout areas, a large outdoor deck, a games area with billiards tables, foosball tables and a big-screen TV and, best of all, a huge indoor atrium soaring 32 feet high with trees and a park-like feel.

The atrium will also include plenty of greenery and places to sit and relax.

Other amenities at The Summit Club include a lounge with a chef ’s kitchen, a baby grand piano and plenty of space to entertain, and a children’s play area on the fifth floor.

MThree is located in the thriving neighbourhood of Coquitlam Town Centre, meaning you can easily walk to shopping, restaurants, schools and leisure activities. You’ll also find the upcoming Evergreen Line and the West Coast Express easily accessible, so your commute doesn’t need to include a car.

Homes at MThree start in the low to mid-$200,000s for a one-bedroom and the low-$300,000s for a two-bedroom. For more information, visit www.liveatmthree.com, call 604-472-9555 or visit the presentation centre at 2992 Glen Drive, Coquitlam, open every day except Friday between 12 and 5 p.m.

Submitted photosThe homes at Cressey’s MThree include overheight ceilings, spacious open floorplans and the renowned CresseyKitchen, with its integrated European appliances, wood-grained laminate cabinetry and quartz composite countertops.

REVIEW the richmond Richmond sisters' startup

celebrates 35 years 3

Soccer showcase tournament spawns special memories for athletes 25

Martin van den Hemel photoMichael and Maria survey some of the projected 1,000 pounds of harvest for the fifth annual garlic festival, a fundraiser for The Sharing Farm Society, from 10 a.m to 3 p.m. on Aug. 25. The free-admission/free-parking event is expected to draw about 3,000 people to The Sharing Farm at 2771 Westminster Highway, at the Terra Nova Rural Park. It's one of 101 Things to Do in Richmond this summer. See p. 14 for more information on this and 100 other local events and activities.


Looking for gifts for the heartSharing Farm needs new operations centre, launches local crowdfunding campaign


Many of the people who rely on The Sharing Farm for the most nutritious part of their daily meals don’t even know of its existence.

As Richmond Food Bank execu-tive director Margaret Hewlett aptly put it, “when somebody’s in a crisis situation, that’s not a piece of information they’re looking for, or even take in.”

But that lack of awareness—exacerbated by the language barriers on ethnically diverse Lulu Island—makes the daily supply of fresh fruits and veg-etables grown by the hundreds of volunteers and a handful of part-time staff at Terra Nova Ru-ral Park no less critical.
