You won’t have to wait until Canada Day to get into the swing of Ste-

veston.Ships to Shore starts Sunday, June

29, and will feature the fi shing vil-lage’s rich maritime history, with a healthy dose of adventure and fun designed with the entire family in mind.

The annual free event runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday and Mon-day, June 30, and then from noon to 6 p.m. on Canada’s birthday, Tuesday, July 1.

More than a dozen historic and unique vessels, from classically-mast-ed tall ships to modern navy vessels will be docked at Imperial Landing and Britannia Heritage Shipyards National Historic Site—the latter cel-ebrating its 125th anniversary—and will allow free boarding.

The event will then be capped off with a fi reworks display that begins at 10:15 p.m. and will be viewable from anywhere along the Steveston Chan-nel waterfront.

Among the ships visiting this year are the colourful HMCS Oriole, a tall ship with the distinction of being the longest-serving commissioned vessel in the Royal Canadian Navy. The Oriole will be joined by two of the navy’s Orca-class patrol ships and the historic schooners Adventuress and Zodiac.

The navy’s Jolly Tars, a combo fea-turing saxophone, fl ugelhorn and a rhythm section, will perform a mix of

jazz and light pop tunes on Sunday, June 29 and Monday, June 30 from noon to 1 p.m. and from 2 to 3 p.m. each day. They will be situated near Imperial Landing on the Steveston waterfront.

A band of pirates will be roving through the festival, entertaining crowds with their roguish antics.

The Mini-Brigs, a popular miniature pirate ship with just enough space to accommodate a burly pirate, will be puttering around the waterfront too.

Steveston Village will be at the centre of the 69th annual Steveston Salmon Festival, which will see a parade, children’s festival, some fabulous entertainment, a food fair, a car show and the festival’s signature salmon barbecue.

Both the Britannia Shipyards and the Gulf of Georgia cannery are set to be open to the public during the entire weekend.

Parking in Steveston is always a struggle on Canada Day.

Visitors are instead urged to take public transit, to cycle or walk to avoid the traffi c and minimize parking congestion. A free shuttle service will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Canada Day, leaving from the City Operations Yard at 5599 Lynas Lane, and picking up/dropping off at Railway, Moncton and Britannia Shipyards.

Parking will remain free at the City of Richmond’s operations yard.

The escalating excitement of the 2014 World Cup isn’t only inspiring a growing legion of footie fans to view the matches, but also chal-lenging their palates.

In downtown Richmond, thou-sands of kilometers removed from the epicentre of the beauti-ful game’s showcase event, a trio of hotels is showing their spirit by adopting one of the 32 partici-pating nations and building their menus around food common in that country.

Having shared best practices for some time, the Hilton, Marriott and Sheraton Vancouver airport hotels—all located adjacent to each other at Westminster High-way and Minoru Boulevard—are again showing their collaborative abilities around one of the biggest sporting spectacle on the planet. As a result, each of the hotels has quickly become a popular hub for soccer, er, football fans wanting to share the excitement for the games with others.

“Fans who are passionate about the sport get to share that in a spe-cial and unique environment with others who also have that energy,” says Sanjeet Sadana, director of sales and marketing at the Hilton.

Decorated in corresponding co-lours and sporting fl ags of their adopted nations—the Hilton becoming Brazil House, the Mar-riott Germany House and Shera-ton England House during the tournament also aff ords them a unique opportunity to—at the same time— satisfy their taste buds with authentic dishes from

the respective nations.England House features such

traditional British grub as scampi (crispy prawns served with fries and tartar sauce), bangers and mash (grilled English sausages, caramelized onion and mashed potatoes along with gravy and sweet peas), and fi sh and chips (halibut fi lets in a pale ale bat-ter sered with tatar sauce and coleslaw). The menu at Germany House includes such fare as grilled bratwurst and kartoff elpuff er (two poached eggs served with a warm pretzel and mustard), spatzle nord-see (shrimp, scallops and crab with riesling cream sauce) and pan-fried wiener schnitzel (breaded kartoff elpuree and gravy). They’re also serving up other popular eth-nic dishes.

The most interesting menu will be found at Brazil House, where Hilton executive chef Alex Hancock

has come up with such Brazilian-inspired dishes as churrasco skew-ers (beef, chicken or prawns served with a choice of chimichuri yogurt or piri piri sauce) and pao de quei-jo (cheese puff s also served with chimichuri yogurt). Among the entrees is moqueca de camaroa or fi shermen’s stew, a comforting mixture of prawns with coconut milk and capsicums served with rice. Bolinhos de chuva (donut bites) is an additional sweet treat.

“The philosophy behind the menu was to bring an element of Brazil’s beach food, or at least our interpretation, to Richmond,” says Hancock. “Brazil has a huge beach culture and this food refl ects that.

In the week that the menu has been available, the moqueca de camaroa dish—a classic in Bra-zil—has proven to be a particular favourite with hotel guests.

“While it features peppers, it’s not an overwhelming fi reball dish and people love it,” says Hancock.

Hancock says it took a while to come up with a menu he was con-fi dent would appeal to the public. He fi rst began exploring possibili-ties in January, but only fi nalized the menu a month ago.

“We looked to serve a selection of South American food we felt was the best of the best, and that took time,” he says. “From a cre-ative aspect, this has been unique opportunities of my career.”

Taka Kuwata, food and bever-ages services manager at the Mar-riott, says even after just one game featuring Germany the number of patrons to watch games has been encouraging.

“We’ve tried to make our menu as authentic as possible,” he says.

Canada’s biggest little birthday party is set for Tuesday July 1, start-ing with a morning breakfast, fol-lowed by a special ceremony for new Canadians taking their oath of citizenship, and then a children’s parade at 9:30 a.m. followed by the adult-sized version at 10.

This year’s event is once again a huge fundraiser for the Steveston Community Society, providing funding for many area initiatives, including funding 50 per cent of the price for the Steveston water park.

During the opening of that park, in 2007, the Rick Hansen Founda-tion donated a special water-ready wheelchair for people to borrow from the community centre.

The specialized wheelchair is free to use, and means those people with regular wheelchairs won’t have to risk them getting rusty through the exposure to water.

For more information about ac-cessing the wheelchair, call the Ste-veston Community Centre at 604-238-8080

This will be an emotional 69th edition of the Salmon Fest, the fi rst since community pioneer Ted Lo-renz passed away.

Salmon Fest organizer Janice Fro-

ese described Lorenz as a giant part of the annual event for the past six decades.

“His imprint is everywhere,” she said, noting that he brought his wisdom, experience and historical knowledge to the organizers of the event.

To honour his contributions, the Grand Award, handed to the best fl oat entry by a community group, will be renamed the Ted Lorenz Award, in his honour.

The honourary marshall for the Salmon Festival this year is Mary Hi-rano, who for the past three decades co-ordinated the Japanese Cultural Show.

The annual Steveston Salmon Fes-tival will also include a Trade Show, featuring the latest ideas in home improvement, clothing, jewelry, fi tness products, food tasting and locally-farmed products. MacDon-ald Realty Westmar is also hosting a photo booth during the event.

Parking in Steveston is limited and some road closures will be in place on July 1st morning due to the Salmon Festival parade. Festival goers are encouraged to take tran-sit, cycle or walk to avoid traffi c and parking congestion.

Shuttle service will be available from the City of Richmond Works Yard, 5599 Lynas Lane, and the old

Steveston High School site on No. 2 Road just north of Steveston High-way.

For complete details including a schedule of events, parade map, road closure notice and parking

information, see the Steveston Salmon Festival website at www.stevestonsalmonfest.ca.

On Friday June 20th, 2014, in a Montreal courtroom, after deliberating four days, a jury

convicted Emma Czornobaj, 25, of two counts each of criminal negligence causing death and dangerous driving causing death. Th e charges followed from a fatal crash in which a father and his daughter riding tandem on his motorcycle plowed into Ms. Czornobaj’s vehicle stopped in the left (passing) lane of a highway south of Montreal, and from which she had alighted to help ducklings crossing the highway.

Criminal negligence causing death carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment; dangerous driving causing death a maximum sentence of 14 years. Ms. Czornobaj, who had no previous criminal record, is employed as a fi nancial advisor. At the time of the crash she was a 21-year-old university student who had been driving for three years.

In the online ‘court of public opinion’—see, for example, the 167 comments following the CTV news online coverage or the 477 comments following the Global TV coverage—vigorous debate began almost immediately after the verdict. Th e majority question whether criminalizing such an act is an appropriate use of the criminal justice system. Th e criminal law, they say, is not about punishing lack of common sense or foolishness or stupidity no matter the terrible consequences. Th e criminalization of the behaviour in this case seems also to have

overcome the usual reluctance to criticize a victim.

Many of the comments point out that, “Proper operation of a motor vehicle DEMANDS that you be able to stop before hitting a vehicle that is stopping, or has stopped in front of you. PERIOD.” Self-identifi ed motorcyclists agree with this. For example: “My issue is with the criminal conviction. I would like to know how it was proven that she acted with “wanton or reckless disregard for the lives or safety of other persons” (that is how the law defi nes criminal negligence). She acted carelessly. Th e fact that her carelessness resulted in the tragic deaths of two people does not make her actions criminal. …I’ve been a motorcyclist for 25 years and cannot imagine any scenario in which this accident was unavoidable unless the motorcycle operator was every bit as careless as the young woman driving the car.”

But even those who support the verdict generally agree that a harsh sentence would also be an injustice. For example: “Th e verdict was the easy part as the facts seem to speak for themselves. Th e real problem will be the sentence. I am not a soft-on-crime type and I know that two people died as a result of this young lady’s actions but I would not like to see her get a long prison term.”

Most news reports say Ms. Czornobaj is remorseful, regrets her actions and would never do the same thing again. Th e wife and mother of the two victims said to reporters at the Montreal court she would not comment on Czornobaj’s possible sentence and that she didn’t have any ill will towards her. “It’s time that we go on,” she said. “Th is will not bring (back) my loved ones.”

Guilty Verdict in the Stopping-for-ducks Case

Council Update

You may have noticed a hive of activity in Minoru Park. The very exciting precinct project to replace the Minoru Aquatic Centre, Minoru Place Seniors Centre, No 1 Fire Hall and other park facilities has commenced.

Replacement of these facilities was among Council’s top priorities for its current term and Council is delivering on the plan.

The first phase currently underway is an upgrade and relocation of playing fields and tennis courts. The existing Latrace baseball diamond will be converted into an artificial turf field. One artificial turf field and the cricket pitch, track and field throwing events will be relocated. This should be completed by this fall.

Construction of a new integrated, multipurpose complex that will include a new aquatic centre, new older adult centre and new pavilion will commence in the summer of 2014 and is expected to be completed in 2017.

Staff recently presented Council with a number of options for the building configuration for this new complex, ranging from three separate buildings to an integrated single building that would have both dedicated

and shared program space for the various user groups Staff has been directed to do further analysis of the options, consult further with stakeholder groups and bring back a more detailed report for Council’s consideration.

At the same time as this project, a new No 1 Fire Hall will be built to replace the existing facility at the current site. It will be slightly larger than the existing building and construction is expected to be complete at the end of 2016.

Council struggled with the siting of the Minoru makeover. But our decision was aided by the Aquatic Services Board and Minoru Seniors Society who asked that there be no major interruption of service to their programs during any upgrades. We thank them for their input.

There is also going to be extensive public engagement in the planning of these projects. Council has appointed two advisory groups to provide advice on construction and programming. The Project Technical Advisory Committee chaired by Councillor Dang and the Stakeholder Advisory Committee chaired by myself will tap into the expertise of our community partners. There will also be public open houses and online consultation.

These are exciting times for Minoru and our community as a whole and we ask for your understanding as construction starts to move ahead.

What are they doing to Minoru?

Know the risks and bylaws of open air burning in Richmond

Open air burning with-

out a permit is illegal in the City of Richmond.

According to the city, it creates smoke that con-tains many pollutants which pose health risks, is an irritant to eyes and airways, and especially aff ects those with sen-sitive respiratory sys-tems. The smoke is also a hazard when visibility is reduced. Open air fi res have the potential to turn into a wildfi re if the right environmental con-ditions exist.

“Any open burning of wood, brush, foliage, and building materials is strictly prohibited, un-less approved through a permit process,” says Kevin Gray, Richmond Fire-Rescue deputy chief.

“Residents are remind-ed to check local bylaws regarding open air burn-ing, as fi res are only per-mitted within a natural gas, charcoal or propane cooking device, and fu-elled outdoor heaters or fi replaces. All of us at Richmond Fire-Rescue encourage residents to help keep Richmond a safe community by be-ing fi re smart.”

When purchasing any outdoor burning device, residents should refer to City of Richmond Fire Protection and Life Safe-ty Bylaw No. 8306.

Couple pled guilty to multiple counts of theft under $5,000


A Richmond provincial

court judge has handed suspended sentences and a lengthy probation period to a local couple who pled guilty to sell-ing stolen toys via Face-book.

Alyssa Susan John, 35, received a 30-month term of probation and was ordered to pay a victim surcharge of $50, after pleading guilty to four counts of theft un-der $5,000. Four other counts were stayed.

Darren Patrick John, 35, received a two-year probation term and a suspended sentence for three counts of theft un-der $5,000 and was also ordered to pay a $50 vic-tim surcharge. Two other counts he was facing, were stayed.

A Richmond RCMP investigation last year included a search of the couple’s home, on the

4700 block of Steveston Highway, where police discovered a “truckload” of stolen merchandise.

The stolen toys were

sold through a Ste-veston-based Facebook group, according to mul-tiple sources.

Alyssa and Darren both

pled guilty.Most of the stolen

items seized by police were children’s Lego toy sets.

Schools with modified calendars also impacted

by Tom FletcherBlack Press

Teacher pickets will target locations where summer school is being carried out if they don’t have a settlement of their strike by June 30.

B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker announced that decision Wednesday, as he prepared for the fi rst meeting with B.C. Public School Em-ployers’ Association since a full-scale strike began June 17.

The meeting has been characterized as “exploratory talks” dealing with pos-sible mediation.

The B.C. Public School Employers’ As-sociation has applied to the Labour Re-lations Board for summer school off er-ings to be declared essential services, if they are “secondary remedial programs provided to students who have failed a secondary level course.”

Summer programs for elementary school students, international stu-

dents or secondary students trying to improve a passing grade would not be protected by an LRB order, mean-ing the majority of summer programs wouldn’t go ahead.

Iker said the union is also considering the plight of B.C.’s fi ve modifi ed calen-dar schools, which have three month-long breaks instead of the traditional summer vacation. Among the fi ve schools are Spul’u’kwuks Elementary and Garden City Elementary in Rich-mond.

They are in the middle of their fi nal three-month term and are facing more disruption than other schools. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association has also applied for essential service protection so they can resume opera-tion.

Iker said if there is no deal by June 30, BCTF negotiators would be avail-able to continue talks, rather than take the summer off as they have done in previous disputes.

The two sides remain far apart on wages and benefi ts, with a long-run-ning dispute over class size and spe-cial needs support levels going back to court this fall.

BCTF president Jim Iker speaks to reporters in Vancouver Wednesday.

Minors to be welcomed in some pubs, as rollout of new liquor regulations continues

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

The operator of a Richmond pub hopes his establishment will be among the fi rst to welcome minors under liquor policy changes made offi cial Monday.

Liquor-primary es-tablishments—such as pubs and legions—are now free to apply to B.C.’s liquor regulator to ac-commodate patrons un-der age 19. The change would allow families to enjoy a meal together at a place they never could before.

Grant Bryan of O’Hare’s GastroPub, at 5031 Ste-veston Hwy., has already applied.

“We’re hoping to be one of the fi rst,” said Bry-an. “As a neighbourhood pub it’s a really good fi t for us and our Steveston community to be able to allow families in for din-ner.”

To be eligible, the es-tablishment must serve food, said Bryan. Minors must also be accompa-nied by an adult, and stay no later than 10 p.m.

Bryan said he was

raised in the United Kingdom, where a pub is a cornerstone of a com-munity.

“I grew up going to the local pub for Sunday lunch. It didn’t promote drinking, it promoting spending time with your family. Dad had a beer, mom had a glass of wine, we had juice and we had a great time.”

The B.C. government is planning a complete re-write of the Liquor Control and Licensing Act. That’s scheduled for spring 2015. In the meantime, government is phasing in changes. Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap is in charge of the liquor pol-icy reform fi le.

“Our government has opened the door to fam-ily-friendly changes, with updated liquor policies that align with feedback I received from legions, the hospitality industry and British Columbians during the liquor policy review,” said Yap in a news release this week. “We are leaving it up to the local associations and businesses to decide whether to pursue these changes.”

Seventeen of the re-view’s 73 recommenda-tions have been imple-mented so far.

Other changes an-nounced include allow-ing local liquor manufac-turers to off er samples of their products at farmers markets, and pricing flexibility—permitting pubs to off er happy hours, provided the low-

er-priced drinks adhere to new minimums.

Minimum prices are based on alcohol con-tent: draft beer and ci-der is now 25 cents per fl uid ounce, which puts a 12-ounce sleeve at $3, a 20-ounce pint at $5 and a 60-ounce jug at $15. Using a one-ounce minimum, the lowest permitted price for any alcoholic drink is $3.

At O’Hares, the new minimum pricing won’t have much impact—given that its cheapest beer is already at the minimum mark—but it will put all operators on a level playing fi eld, said Bryan.

In East Richmond, at Kingswood Pub on No. 5 Road, owner Randy Craig has already intro-duced three daily happy hours.

“Sales are going to go down because you’re selling cheaper booze, but people are hav-ing more fun,” he said. “I don’t know if I’ll keep three…but right now it’s kind of fun for all the people.”

Some B.C. pub own-ers, however, have met the new regulations with protest, saying they had already off ered drink specials below the government’s new mini-mum prices.

A Grant of Probate over an unsigned Will?A very thorough judgment was handed down last week in the B.C. Supreme Court, granting Probate of an unsigned Will (Polischuk Estate v. Perry). Th e decision sends important messages to anyone who may run across such situations, and to personal representatives in general.Th e deceased made a Will in 2004. Th e original was to have been kept in a credit union branch safety deposit box. It never arrived. Aft er her death in 2012, her Will could not be found, despite extensive searches. What was found was an unsigned copy.Th e deceased’s longtime lawyer prepared the Will, and since he was named the personal representative, he gave the Will to another lawyer to review and sign with the (now deceased) Will maker.A Will believed to be in the Will maker’s possession, but lost aft er their death, is presumed to have been destroyed and revoked. But, that legal presumption can be overcome on evidence. And if the Will maker becomes incapacitated or mentally ill aft er the Will is signed, the presumption is understandably weakened.In fact, the person who alleges the Will was revoked then has the burden of proving it was destroyed while the Will maker had capacity. In this case, the people alleging that the Will was revoked (two nephews) could not meet the burden of proof.Th e Court found that the Will maker did not intend to revoke her Will. Th e Court also found that, if the Will maker had really wanted to change her Will in any way, she had the unlisted telephone number of her lawyer and so could have communicated with him (but she didn’t). Th e other lawyer added that the Will maker did actually sign her Will.Th is case is important. One message I believe it sends is that a person should never throw away anything related to preparing a Will (notes, copies of the Will, etc.). You never know what may later become important in establishing whether the Will was signed, and its contents the same as the copy that (in this case) was probated the Court.

Koho Restaurant closed for two days after live rat discovered


A restaurant inside the international terminal of the Vancouver Inter-national Airport, next to the second-floor food court, was closed last Friday because of unsanitary conditions and a pest infestation.

According to a report by Vancouver Coastal Health, a routine in-spection found a live rat caught in a trap un-derneath the Koho Res-taurant’s commercial dishwasher.

Rat droppings were found in the main food preparation line, on stainless steel food preparation tables, inside the corner of a deep fryer base, along the wall of two handsinks in the kitch-en, along the wall of a food prep area outside the walk-in cooler, be-hind the garage door storage area, on equip-ment push carts locat-ed in food prep area, on top of the commercial dishwasher and on top of liquor boxes in the kitchen.

The eatery was per-mitted to re-open on Sunday, according to environmental health officer Dalton Cross.

The operators were advised to “ensure all rodent droppings are re-moved from the prem-ises. All aff ected areas to be cleaned and sani-tized with an approved sanitizer. Professional pest control company to be contacted for imme-diate service and daily inspections required until further notice,” according to a report available at tinyurl.com/KohoRestaurant.

The report also found “general sanitation poor.”

Though the operator said cleaning had been conducted during the start of the week, there were “multiple areas that show a large amount of food residue, debris and grime accumulation.”

The health inspector ordered the “immediate correction” of the main cook line, dishwashing area, garage storage area, under shelving, grease and liquid pool-ing underneath the deep fryer.

Imagine you are in a pub filled with excited football

fans watching a World Cup match when you notice someone sitting nearby you, obviously puzzled by what they are seeing on the TV.

So you take it upon yourself to explain the rules of the Beautiful Game to them. You have it all planned out; you’ll start with the basics, like how it is properly called football and not soccer, then moving on to explain how many players are allowed on the field, how off-sides are determined, and finally you’ll finish with a carefully crafted narrative about strategies and playmaking.

But then, just as you

begin your lesson, the puzzled patron stops you and asks “What is a sport?” And in that disconcerting moment, you realize that you have a much bigger education project on your hands than you realized. This is the problem many advocates for food security still face.

When I talk to people in Richmond about food security, the responses I get vary greatly. A few know exactly what it is, while others hold basic misconceptions. But many have never heard of the concept at all. This lack of basic knowledge leads to confusion that can create unnecessary resistance to the goal of ensuring public food security.

Some dismiss food security as a leftover hippie cause, or something they don’t participate in because they don’t use the community gardens. Others mistake the meaning of the ‘security’ part of the phrase and think it has something to do with guarding food. These responses, though inaccurate, are at least kind compared to some of the more virulent responses seen in parts of the USA, where efforts to promote food security have been denounced as a sure way to make people lazy, or as

part of an insidious plot by the U.N. to take away their personal freedom.

What this indicates is that many people don’t understand that food security isn’t just some local issue, or a good cause you can support like many others, or something you can opt into or not at your whim, but something entirely more fundamental. It is like saying you can opt out of breathing air or drinking water. Food security affects people whether they’ve heard of it or not.

Every day, in Richmond and all over the world, people ask themselves “What am I going to eat today?” Their choices will be affected by the answers to other questions that are at the core of food security. Is the food affordable, or easy to get access to? Will it be nutritious, and free of contaminants? Is it locally grown, and will it be acceptable to their cultural or religious beliefs?

The thing is people usually don’t sit down and ask themselves these questions deliberately (if they ask them at all), any more than people debate the issues about our water supply when they’re thirsty. Instead, they just go and get a drink. No,

usually most people are too busy to contemplate the broader context of their food choices. That quickly changes, of course, if they are hungry and they can’t do anything about it. When food security turns into food insecurity, then people become perfectly aware of how fundamental the issue is.

However getting people to recognize the broader truth that poor food security can be as damaging to public health as severe droughts or horribly polluted air won’t automatically cause everyone to stop fighting over it. After all, you’re talking about a topic that touches on GMOs, land development, and international trade agreements, so it will be a while yet before everyone is holding hands. But it’s a good place to start, and there is hope.

Just look at what happened in India in 2013, where their Parliament passed the National Food Security Act (NFSA), also known the Right to Food Act. This is a huge measure, on a scale almost incomprehensible from a Canadian point of view. Though there is sharp controversy over the merits of the Act, it provides subsidized food

grains to almost 800 million of India’s 1.2 billion citizens, with a special emphasis on providing for the needs of pregnant women, lactating mothers, and children. This Act affects twenty two times more people than the entire population of Canada.

Food security is a much steeper problem in India than in Canada, so it is not surprising that their awareness of scope of the challenge to secure it seems to exceed our own. India is trying bring a measure of food security to hundreds of millions of people by acknowledging that it is just as important to the well-being of their citizens as clean air and fresh water, and by treating it as a right, not as an act of charity. They have recognized the challenge they face; now they just have to figure out the rules.

EDITORIAL: Happy Birthday, Canada

July 1 is Canada’s 147th birthday. This country now has a lengthy history

as an independent nation.For most of the past 147 years,

Canada has been respectful of other countries and of its wide variety of people, who come from widely disparate backgrounds and traditions.

There are some signifi cant excep-tions however, which must be stated up front. Canada has done a generally poor job in maintaining good relations with the aboriginal people who were here before any immigrants came from off shore. For the fi rst 100 years of our indepen-dence, there were ongoing eff orts to assimilate them, take away their land, unique cultures and heritage, and subjugate them. This was a holdover of the British approach to colonialism, and was actually quite similar to what the British did in other parts of the world.

It is only in recent years that more Canadians have started to appreciate the unique perspective that First Nations people bring to this country. Here in B.C., where we have a wide variety of very dif-ferent First Nations groups, most of whom have no treaties, First

Nations issues are front and centre, as was demonstrated on Thursday by a Supreme Court of Canada de-cision on aboriginal title, brought forward by the Tsilhqot’in Nation.

The other blot on our history comes in the treatment of Asians,

particularly the Japanese during the Second World War. While there have been apologies and fi nancial settlements, that aspect of our his-tory is a shameful one — as were the discriminatory tactics used to keep out prospective immigrants

from China and India.What Canada does do well, how-

ever, is to learn from our past mis-takes. This country has always been a grouping of very diff erent people. In 1867, it was the aboriginal peo-ple, those of French background, and those of British background, including descendants of former Americans who disagreed with the American Revolution.

Since that time, people came to help populate the wide-open spaces in the country, and they have come from all over the world. At fi rst, most came from Europe and the United States. There were also early settlers of Chinese and Japanese backgrounds. In the past 50 years, the doors have been opened wider for people from all over — although it is still diffi cult to come here (even as a visitor) from a poorer country, something Canada needs to consider more deeply and thoughtfully.

Together, these diverse peoples have forged a country respectful of religions, traditions and cultures; committed to fi ght injustices; economically strong and well-positioned — and one of the best places in the world to live.

Happy Birthday, Canada.—Black Press

Editor:Copy of a letter sent to Educa-

tion Minister Peter Fassbender and B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker:

The Richmond Board of Education is gravely concerned at the impasse that exists between the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation and the British Columbia Public Schools Employers’ Association.

We ask that both parties re-sume good faith negotiations in the spirit of compromise to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

Parents, students and staff continue to have questions

about report cards, summer programs, and normal year-end activities that have been disrupted. The conflicts at the bargaining table have reached a point where they are nega-tively impacting our children’s education, staff morale, and the underlying goodwill that forms the basis of British Columbia’s excellent education system.

The Richmond Board of Education will continue to advocate for increased, stable funding for our public educa-tion system. We ask that the government fully fund any negotiated settlement.

The current situation holds our children's education hos-tage to contract negotiations and is unacceptable in regards to the primary purpose of the public education system—pro-viding our children with the best education possible.

We ask that as leaders of our educational community you work together to resolve this impasse in a timely fashion for the benefit of what matters most—our children.

Time for a moratorium on three-storey houses in Westwind area

Editor:As a 25-year resident of Trumpeter Drive in

Richmond I am calling on the council and the zoning department of the City of Richmond to enact a moratorium on the permit issuing of three-storey houses.

It is time for a design review and usage review of three story houses that do not fit the scale or design of the neighbourhood.

The current three-storey monster house under construction on Trumpeter Drive and Puffin Court neither fits the scale of the neighbourhood nor the overall design of the current residences. The lack of design review and the inappropri-ate scale of the house is an appalling insult to the neighbourhood and the neighbours who in the vast majority are disgusted by this monster house.

The City of Richmond needs to pay more at-tention to the design and continuity of urban communities.

It is time for a comprehensive urban planning review and stop to Richmond's history of dis-jointed neighbourhood planning.

The reason people buy in this neighbourhood is for the maturity of the landscaping and scale of the neighbourhood. I am not against new construction in the least. I am opposed to poor planning, poor design and irresponsible preda-tory practises resulting in destroying a neigh-bourhood.

I implore the city to take a look at what is cur-rently built. It’s time for a moratorium on new construction until a policy that defines param-eters of design and scale is determined. What is currently under construction is inappropriate in size and design.

I look forward to discussing an action plan.Joel Berman

Clare Scott photosA collage of poppies and other fl owers found along the Railway Greenway. The 5.6-kilometre greenway is a trail that runs north and south from the Middle Arm of the Fraser River to Britannia Heritage Shipyard on the South Arm of the Fraser.

Editor:Driving down Railway Avenue the other day,

from Granville to Steveston, I was surprised to real-ize I had a big grin on my face . . . the whole way!

Growing up, I had walked to school every day on the railroad tracks that have been torn up to make the new pathway along Railway. It’s odd sometimes, the things that bring back such good memories, but that is defi nitely one of them. And awhile back when I saw the tracks being taken up I was sad that something else—another memory from my childhood, was disappearing. Now, of course I understood why. There are no trains that run through Richmond any more—I’m not even sure they did when I was a kid. I never did see one.

But as I drove along Railway and saw the number of people using the beautiful fl ower and tree lined pathway—parents with kids, people walking dogs (on leash too!), others strolling, jogging, biking and roller blading . . . it made my day. I even saw a mother and son chasing butterfl ies with a net, in the poppies along side of the path.

Fantastic idea City of Richmond! I never thought I would be happy with anything other than the railroad tracks being there, but you changed my mind and you made it gorgeous.

my patients are able to continue wearing their

existing teeth during the entire healing period

and never have to go a single day without

teeth,” says Dr. Nelson.

who is missing all their teeth and has loose

dentures, they also help individuals missing

a single tooth, or just a few of their teeth, by

offering a more permanent replacement.

having to take it out three times a day to

clean. Now, my life is easier! No more

taking my teeth in and out to clean. I feel

more confident and happier. No more

problems. My teeth look excellent!

Even my medical doctor said I had very

strong teeth and was surprised they were

implants. I am definitely enjoying eating

again and cleaning my teeth is a breeze.

Don’t hesitate to have implants done.

It was very well worth it! It made a lot

of difference in my lifestyle and I am

Sometimes the best books are the ones we

stumble across, oblivi-ous to their acclaim, and just hopeful for a few hours of enter-tainment.

Anatomy of a Girl Gang by Ashley Little, the 2014 winner of the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize (BC Book Prizes), is all that and much more. It’s about as gritty a novel as you could wish to fi nd, and follows

the story of fi ve teenage girls who form a gang called the Black Roses, on the infamous Downtown Eastside of Vancouver.

The fi ve girls, ranging in age from 15 to 18, are a ragtag collection of hurt, abused and exploited castoff s. Their leader, Mac, is the ringleader and brains behind the gang. Mercy is the Pun-jabi Canadian Princess whose skill at stealing cars, robbing banks, and shoplifting clothes and jewelry are practically legendary. Z, the newest member of the gang, is a waif-like graffi ti artist. Kayos, a Shaughnessy outcast, is 15-years-old and the mother of a two-year-old daughter. Sly Girl hails from a First Nations reserve where she was abused, beaten and left with a mangled eye and scars on her face. Each of the girls has experienced addiction, poverty and prostitution fi rsthand. But miraculously, they fi nd each other, and hope to

make a better life that will take them far away from the DTES.

Living in a house on Cordova, close to the drug epicentre on Hast-ings and Main, the girls each have their assigned roles in the gang. Bring-ing in ridiculous sums of money by cooking and selling crack, and selling stolen cars to other gangs, the Black Roses manage to form a bond between them. Avenging beatings and other wrongdoings, these vigilante gang girls take things into their own hands. Armed with guns and tough as nails, they navigate their way through daily challenges most of us could never even fathom. Harsh doesn’t begin to cover what these girls have experienced in their short lifetimes. So it’s not surprising that by the book’s end, all but one of the Black Roses succumbs to depression and acts of desperation.

The story is told in six voices—that of each of the girls, and the voice of Vancouver. Be fore-warned: the language is plenty coarse, and parts of the story are so graphic that you’ll want to close your eyes to block out the images that get branded onto your brain. But none of it is gratuitous. As a whole, it’s a believable representation of what goes on in the hellhole they call the Downtown Eastside.

While Anatomy of a Girl Gang is not an easy book to read, it’s written with such blunt and brutal honesty that you can’t not read it. It’s a living fi ctional history of one of Canada’s most infamous postal codes, and of the lost souls who live and die on its streets every day.

Fisheries and Oceans quadruples allowable kill of weak salmon runs

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

Conservationists say a federally approved fi sh-ing plan sacrifi ces too many endangered coho salmon so fi shing compa-nies can catch more of an expected massive run of Fraser River sockeye this summer.

The predicted bonanza of sockeye—23 million with a chance it could be more than 70 million —means there’s intense pressure for fi shermen to capitalize on the huge run.

But if too many coho are caught in the nets along with sockeye, it could be a major setback for Inte-rior coho runs that were nearly wiped out in the late 1990s and had been gradually rebuilding.

In past years, the De-partment of Fisheries and Oceans has limited that unintentional bycatch to three per cent of the in-coming coho run—once that many coho were caught sockeye fi sheries were usually halted to protect weaker runs.

But DFO’s newly re-leased plan more than quadruples that limit to a maximum 16 per cent of the coho run that can be killed this year by Ca-nadian fi shermen, not counting any bycatch by Americans.

“It should be called an overfi shing plan,” said Watershed Watch Salmon Society biologist Aaron Hill, who accuses fi shery managers of neglecting their duty to protect weak stocks.

“The main reason this is happening is because of heavy lobbying from the fi shing interests who want to be able to catch more sockeye.”

A DFO letter to stake-holders says the changes will only be in eff ect for the 2014 season and was informed by an internal scientifi c review.

But Hill contends there is no scientifi c consensus on the safety of the coho protection measures.

Gord Sterritt, executive director of the Upper Fra-ser Fisheries Conservation

Alliance, which represents 23 First Nations from Wil-liams Lake to the Fraser’s headwaters, said aborigi-nal stakeholders were prepared to accept some increase in allowed coho bycatch in recognition that this is “a unique year” but said DFO’s decision goes too far.

“Basically they are open-ing the season on endan-gered species,” Sterritt said. “We’ve been in con-servation mode trying to protect these stocks since 1998. We’ve seen some recovery in the last three years. But it’s still iff y.”

Conservationists argue more sockeye could be taken without putting coho at risk through in-creased use of selective in-river fi sheries, which First Nations have prac-tised for centuries.

DFO spokesperson Mi-chelle Imbeau said the higher permitted bycatch should still allow enough coho upriver to spawn to meet conservation re-covery targets, based on an estimated run size of 50,000 coho.

Hill singled out the Ca-nadian Fishing Co. (Canfi s-co) as a main lobbyist for looser coho safeguards.

Canfi sco vice-president Rob Morley said there’s broad support for the plan in the commercial and recreational fi shing sectors.

“In our view, the scien-tifi c analysis the depart-ment has done them-selves shows the harvest at these levels are sustain-able and don’t cause any conservation issues,” he said.

Besides coho, some weak runs of sockeye that return to Cultus Lake, Pitt Lake, Bowron Lake and Taseko Lake could also be at greater risk in a summer of heavy fi shing for the abundant sockeye runs.

The sockeye now mi-grating back to B.C. from the north Pacifi c are the spawn of the massive 2010 run when 30 million unexpectedly returned.

Last year’s return of four million sockeye was more typical of recent years, al-though the numbers have improved since just 1.6 million sockeye returned in 2009, triggering the Co-hen Inquiry.

EVERY FRIDAY

7:30-10:30

If you are looking for the best prime rib in town, then savour the summer at Rain Restaurant‘s great outdoor patio.

The prime rib, available after 5 p.m., features 6 ounces of reserved Angus beef, along with a giant Yorkshire pudding, mashed potato and sumptuous seasonal vegetables. On Sundays, it’s the dinner special at $20.

Located in the Best Western Plus Abercorn Inn on Bridgeport Road., Rain, formerly known as the Highlander, was reborn last year with a new name, chef and patio.

There’s still favourites such as the prime rib and Shepherd’s pie to match the hotel’s Tudor stylings. But there’s plenty of other imaginative off erings as well—Chef Katt likes to have a variety of Asian meals mixed with Western cuisine. Take the $12.99 lunch specials for example. Four items are featured and the menu

changes often—there could be, for example, short ribs, Japanese fusion food, an Indian feast with butter chicken or traditional Italian lasagna. There’s also $1 lobster soup (with minimum purchase of $10).

Looking for a place to watch the World Cup? Rain has two big screen TVS, one at the bar and one on the patio. Rain also features live music every Friday.

Rain Restaurant is located in the Best Western Plus Abercorn Inn. Call for more info.

Safety Tip:As the summer BBQ season and Canada Day celebrations kick off, it’s important to remember how deadly of a combination drinking and driving can be. Arrange for

a designated driver or use other options to get home safely.

Question of the WeekBob McHugh in his review of the Lincoln MKC reveals there is a new technology called “park out assist” which gets your vehicle out of the tight parking sport that the “park assist” shoehorned you into! Is this kind of technology in danger of diminishing a driver’s control skills?

Lincoln luxury at a non-premium priceSanta Barbara, Calif. - The MKC is the first (luxury) compact utility vehicle from Lin-coln and, while related, it’s very different from the Ford Escape. Development of both vehicles started with Ford’s global “C” platform, but other than its base 2.0 litre turbo-engine, the MKC has little else in common with its Ford counterpart. All-wheel-drive is standard (in Canada) on all three editions of the MKC and a start price just under $40,000 is also inviting compared to other luxury CUVs such as the Acura RDX ($41,390) and BMW X3 ($42,800). (A top-line Ford Escape, by the way, is listed at $35,699). The MKC is the second of four all-new product launches intended to redefine Lincoln. The first being the Lincoln MKZ last year, an all-new MKX is expected next year and a, so-far unnamed, full-sized sedan will follow. The new Lincoln styling theme includes smooth clean lines a slick shape (described as “graceful ath-leticism”) and up front, there’s a contemporary take on the traditional Lincoln split-wing grille.Another eye-catching feature of the MKC is around back, a huge wraparound lift gate includes full-width LED rear lighting assemblies. This unique one-piece hydro-formed steel door opens like a clamshell and allows complete access to the cargo area. An optional hands-free feature also allows it to open with a kick-ing motion below the rear bumper. The MKC also has a roomy feel to its interior, particu-larly for front seat occupants. A dash that slants away, towards the windshield, adds to its airy ambiance. It’s also a much quieter cabin than its stable mate, with numerous built-in sound deadening features that in-clude a noise control system that eliminates unwanted sound waves and enhances others. Available inside accent trims include brushed alumi-num or open-pore Zebrano and Santos Rosewood that

can be matched with standard, made in Scotland, Bridge of Weir “Deepsoft” leather upholstery. The premium car ex-perience actually starts as you approach the MKC with an accent welcoming lighting feature that’s automatically ac-tivated (by the key fob) when an owner is within 2.4 metres (8-ft). Our 320-kilometre-plus route took us away from the coast along the scenic Jacento Reyes Byway. This lightly trav-elled twisty two-lane road gets narrow in sections. It also presented some spectacular vistas along the way and some intimidating cliff faces and rock formations.I was impressed with the MKC’s predict-able handling characteristics through the twisty sections. It was stable, very forgiving at higher speeds and generally more agile than expected for a utility

vehicle - especially after I finally figured out how to set-up the driving modes, called Lincoln Drive Control. The normal, comfort and sport settings for the sus-pension and steering are preset (via vehicle settings on the instrument panel and customizable to a limited extent) by a driver to function with “D” and “S” transmission selections. It’s a different and somewhat complex way of providing this feature. Push-button transmission selection is another feature that I wouldn’t get excited about. I get the space-sav-ing functionality and the historic connection to Lin-coln, but still prefer a shift lever. Manual operation of the transmission’s six speeds can be done via paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The shifts, however, could be crisper and the system tends to be very pro-tective of the engine (over-revving) on downshifts. Only MKC vehicles with the new 2.3-litre twin-scroll turbo engine were available to drive at this U.S. event, which would price tag them close to $50,000 in Can-ada. An impressively smooth and quiet performer (in this application) this engine can produce 285-horse-

power compared to the base 2.0-litre’s 240-horsepow-er, which is the top engine in an Escape. As you might expect, the 2.0L engine gets better fuel economy, but the difference is minimal and both can run on regular grade fuel. All the latest driver-assist technologies are avail-able with MKC including, adaptive cruise control, a collision warning system, blind-sport alert, cross-traffic alert and park assist, with a unique new wrinkle... park-out assist. This added feature can now auton-omously steer that MKC out of that tight parallel parking spot into which it put the MKC! Lincoln may be a little late in joining the booming compact luxury utility club, but the MKC is certainly an impressively well put-together new member and it’s priced to sell.

If there is such a thing as an affordable supercar, the 2015 Jaguar F-Type Coupe might just come close.

Of course, that is relatively speaking, when compared with the sticker prices of its rivals.

This Jag will turn heads, thanks to its styling, and wealthier shoppers will doubtless be interested due to the price. Just as last year’s F-Type convertible won the praises of auto

journalists and the buying public, the hardtop version of this sexy car is more engaging, more powerful and arguably more beauti-ful. The North American launch for the Coupe was held in California traversing the twisty roads outside Los Angeles on the way to the Willow Springs racetrack for a thunderous romp around the circuit as fast as my skill would let me.Looks

The F-Type is sold with three trim levels, the $72,900 base, then the $84,900 S and the top of range R for $109,900. With 340hp, 380hp and a whop-ping 550hp, respectively, these cars are up on power and down on price when compared to similar priced/horsepower Porsches. (The one exception is the new 450hp Corvette Stingray that has 450hp and a stunning $55,000 start-ing price.) What this car has over the competition, and the convertible ver-sion, is a sleek body and platform formed entirely from aluminum. With a special hydro-formed roof support that can carry four times the vehicle’s weight, the stiffness of the coupe is eighty percent greater than the convertible. And a stuff structure is what is needed if you want to make a supercar. The convertible has a 495hp but the coupe is fitted with a 550hp ver-sion of the supercharged V8 because the body and chassis has the strength to accommodate such a powerful engine. Inside

Almost every review of the convertible commented on the raspy exhaust note from either the supercharged 3.0L V6 or V8 engines. The S and R models of the coupe also get a sports exhaust that can be made louder or quieter with the press of a button, but the fixed roof of the coupe muted the impact com-pared to the convertible.

On the road to the track event, I drove the super-charged 380hp S model fit-ted with superb sports seats

and leather everywhere that matters, like the doors and dash. The back cargo area is surprisingly big and capable of accommodat-ing two sets of golf clubs. Jaguar has done a superb job of finishing the hatch area with a cover that helps separate the cabin from the trunk area.

The three main dials on the centre console are easy to use for heat and air conditioning but the radio/navigation unit is not as quick or precise as I would like. In fact, I missed three turns on our drive route due to the lag in navigation display. Drive

As the trim levels increase in price the added features are not so much about additional luxury items, rather more performance features. As each trim gets more power, there are more aids to help get all that power down to the ground. The S trim gets performance brakes and a mechanical limited slip differential but the R model adds torque vectoring to help steer the car through the corners and an electronic active differ-ential to apply power more precisely to the rear wheels when the driver asks. Ceramic brakes are also an option on the R trim. My instructor at Willow Springs was Davey Jones, who has two Rolex Daytona watches to show for his wins at the 24-hours of Daytona. The R on the track is nothing short of amazing.

With such low-end grunt from the supercharged 5.0L V8 engine and endless horsepower, the all-alumi-num F-Type just danced in every situation. Willow Springs is a technical track but after a half dozen laps, the powerful cat roared with pleasure in every turn. In performance mode the electronic aids are more for-giving allowing the car to rotate in the corners when pushed hard, the steering is very sharp and the driver can actually get the power down with confidence.Verdict

The Jaguar F-Type Coupe is an expensive machine but in the supercar world is a relative bargain. If you are in the market for a Porsche or other high-end coupe, this Jaguar, especially the R version is a car that de-mands attention when you look at it and gets respect when you drive it.

The 2014 Honda Odyssey is ready to take you on your next big messy adventure with the kids and it can help you clean up too.

The van features the world’s first in-car vacuum system called the HondaVac. It comes complete with a replaceable filter, canister bag, nozzle accessories, and a hose capable of reaching the front seats.

My sister-in-law Cristina has an Odyssey van and has been transporting a full size shop vac and leaf blower around for years. My two nieces make quite a mess, unlike my tidy offspring. Just kidding. But before we get into an interior clean-up, let’s cast an eye over the vehicle’s exterior looks.

It has a stylish hood that sweeps down towards the grille. The headlights are angled up and back giving

the profile a sculpted look. Honda refers to the overall design as a lightning bolt. Not only does it provide an exclusive appearance, but also adds increased visibility for third row passengers.

Very nice interior, every-thing laid out nicely. So many bells and whistles you almost would want to run through a checklist before driving. Eight-passenger seating with a total passenger volume of 4,887 litres, whatever, that means. And all those passen-gers get thirsty so Honda put in 15 cup holders. The third row is a one-motion 60/40

split ‘Magic’ seat that can ac-commodate three passengers and still leave 1,087 litres of cargo volume – that’s room for a lot of slushies for later in the journey. The second row is a 3 mode seating with fold down center console. Driver and front passenger seats are captain’s chairs that are very comfortable. My tester included a leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, channel selector, cruise control, and hands-free telephone button.

Safety is paramount with mini-van owners; the Odys-sey earned a 2013 IIHS top

safety pick and is the only minivan with a 5-star safety rating from the NHTSA. It comes standard with vehicle stability assist, side curtain airbags, and active

front seat head restraints that are designed to help reduce neck injury in the event of a rear collision. There are also five lower anchors and tethers for

children. 4-wheel anti-lock brakes and tire pressure monitoring system is standard.

The engine is a 3.5 litre, 24 valve, SOHC, i-VTEC V6 that produces 248 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. The engines variable cylinder manage-ment system allows the engine to run on three, four or six cylinders depending on the requirements. All models receive a 6-speed automatic transmission. The combina-tion makes the drive that much more comfortable and enjoyable.

Marigold Santos’s large-scale paintings, such as “encounter 2012,” explore notions of identity and place.

Drawings and paintings from two artists comprise ATTACHMENTS at Richmond Art Gallery


A new art exhibition that focuses on storytelling through drawing is now on at Richmond Art Gallery.

ATTACHMENTS by Lucie Chan and Marigold Santos features drawings and paintings that explore identity and place,

cultural attachment and loss. Chan’s drawings are derived from conversations with others, while Santos’s large-scale paintings are inspired by her immigrant experi-ence and Filipino folklore.

Chan is a Guyanese-Canadian artist and assistant professor at Emily Carr University. For AT-TACHMENTS, Chan enlisted the help of others, often strangers, to collect stories.

Her methods involved placing an ad calling for participants, inter-viewing taxi drivers and living for a month in small town Portugal. These personal exchanges are embodied in her installations, com-prising hundreds of small drawings pinned across the gallery walls.

The paintings in ATTACHMENTS

come from the mind of Santos, a Montreal artist. Featured in some of her works is a frightening creature known as the asuang in Filipino folklore. This vampire-like creature severs her body from the waist up, hunting at night and returning to her lower half before morning.

The exhibition, which opened Thursday, runs until Aug. 17. The gallery, located inside the Rich-mond Cultural Centre at 7700 Minoru Gate, is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (until 9 p.m. Thursdays), and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends.

Artist Lucie Chan will present an Artist Talk on Thursday, July 24 at the gallery. The public event runs from 7 to 8 p.m.

Led by Yngwie Malmsteen, show features Gary Hoey and Bumblefoot


There will be one less god on stage Saturday at River Rock Casino Resort.

The Guitar Gods show, led by iconic axeman Yngwie Malms-teen, has lost former Scorpions guitarist Uli Jon Roth, organizers announced Wednesday.

“Unfortunately we are forced to cancel my participation in this tour due to unforeseen circum-stances which are beyond our control,” said Roth in a statement.

Joining Malmsteen will still be the multi-genre Gary Hoey and Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal of Guns N’ Roses.

The original concert lineup was to stretch over six hours, accord-

ing to a publicist.Malmsteen, touted as one of

the most technically accom-plished guitarists of all time, is coming off a year in which he released his autobiography Relentless and embarked on a worldwide tour. In a career that spans three decades, his signa-ture style of combining metal and classical spawned heavy metal genres known as shred guitar and neo-classical.

For his latest tour—this time of North America—Malmsteen promises fans of his rock and heavy metal guitar music can “expect the unexpected.”

“I raise the bar with every performance I do and this tour will be no diff erent,” he said in a statement.

The guitarist’s wife and man-ager, April Malmsteen, created the Guitar Gods tour and serves as producer.

Doors open at 6 p.m. for the June 28 show; concert begins at 7 p.m. General admission tickets are $34.50, reserved balcony with fl oor access tickets are $44.50.

The Robokids Club brought bragging rights back to Canada after their perfor-mance at the VEX Robotics competition in Anaheim.

Group competed in VEX Robotics competition in Anaheim, California


Four years worth of lessons in com-puter programming and problem-solving paid off for four local Grade 6 students.

Desmund Sun, Dexter Niu, Roark Zhang and William Liu, who for the past four years have been part of the Robokids Club, brought brag-ging rights back to Canada after their performance at the VEX Robotics competition in Anaheim, California in May.

Mentored by Jason Zhang, who ma-jored in computer science and holds a master’s degree in education, the team won the British Columbia title in March, and have been working on their latest robot ever since.

Up against 60 teams from 20 coun-tries in their division, they came away as World Champions for 2014.

A total of 760 robotics teams from around the world, including China, Mexico and the United States, took part in the championships, which drew 15,000 participants, with the Richmond squad entering the VEX IQ championships.

Zhang said he sought a platform via which he could engage children to learn about traditionally-boring computer programming in a fun and stimulating way.

What kid doesn’t like robots, he thought, so he opened a robotics club where children learn about computer code writing and languages, with a

view to making a robot do what they want.

At the competition, the students’ ro-botic creation needed to be capable of operating autonomously as well as via remote-control in a driver mode.

Each team was tasked with design-ing a robot capable of quickly moving large and small multi-sided plastic balls (bucky balls) into goals either positioned on the fl oor, or elevated, with the harder targets earning more points. As well, the robots need to be able to place life-saver shaped hoops on scoring rings, and be able to hang from a high bar at the end of the match.

Teams were also aligned in pairs, where they had to work together toward a common goal, with the emphasis being on teamwork.

The fi nal challenge was to come up with a STEM (Science, Technol-ogy, Engineering and Mathematics) research project which this year had a mathematical theme. The local team of 11 year olds came up with a robot capable of measuring the height of a remote object using simple trigo-nometry.

It was in the team competition where the local group excelled.

Partnered with Discobots from Houston, Texas, the two teams pow-ered to the fi nal.

That’s where they scored 142 out of a possible 156 points to jointly grasp the Teamwork Champion Alliance Trophy in the Middle School division.

Zhang said his club has 200 kids en-rolled and they meet once per week.

Lance Carey marked his 50th anniversary in

fi eld hockey last week handing out awards at the Richmond club’s annual year-end banquet.

A week earlier, Carey was busy off ering sage advice to a group of tots at their fi nal practice of the season after which he put away his clipboard—he insists—for the fi nal time.

The always-aff able Carey is calling it retirement from the game he loves. But he’s agreed to come back as a consultant, an off er sure to be graciously accepted.

Mr. Field Hockey in Rich-mond, Carey is synony-mous with the sport lo-cally. As is his wife, Nancy, who helped to start the local girls’ program and daughter Alisa, who is the club’s current president and a former star player at University of B.C.

It’s been quite a career for Carey, who, refl ective of the true gentleman he is, has consistently put others fi rst.

Ironically, his introduc-tion to the game was quite literally by chance.

Back in 1965, Carey was a fi rst-year student at Uni-versity of B.C. and, being a more than profi cient soc-cer player, was weighing the possibility of trying out for the Thunderbirds. in that sport. Fate, it would seem, had other ideas.

“I didn’t even know what fi eld hockey was,” he says. “It was on clubs day when a friend, who I’d known in high school, was trying to recruit players. He yelled at me, ‘Hey Lance, come over here!’ The next morn-ing I was at practice.”

UBC was a fi eld hockey factory back then with no fewer than four men’s teams. Carey started out playing for the latter as a left halfback.

A self-confessed techni-cian, he immediately showed an aptitude for the game and by his sec-ond or third year found himself suiting up for the B.C. second team in an in-ternational match against New Zealand. By 1976 he had shown enough ability to be selected to Canada’s national team for the Montreal Olympic Games.

After retiring as a player, Carey turned to coaching

and carved out a reward-ing and successful career in that capacity too. One of his Richmond teams—all named after birds by the way—won six straight provincial champion-ships and did not lose a league match. In a 1999 interview, former player Dara Storey said of the Careys: “they taught us so much not only about fi eld hockey but life.”

Lance says coaching has been one of the most rewarding periods of his life. But, he says, the re-wards have exceeded any contributions he’s made. More than anything, he’s immensely proud of the countless number of play-ers who have graduated from the Richmond Field Hockey Club and gone on to play, and often excel, at the university level—among them Kristen Taunton, who earned 99 international caps for the Canadian women’s national team during her career and is now a medi-cal doctor.

“It’s been a big and wonderful part of my life,” says Carey. “I’ll miss the coaching, but it’s been so rewarding to see all the

players grow up to be such wonderful people. And many of them have or are now giving back to the sport by coaching themselves. That they

come back and volun-teer to coach, even if they’re at university, has been one of the special things about Richmond Field Hockey.”

Coach Carey calls it a dayAfter 50 years in field hockey, Lance Carey says he’s retiring

Don Fennell photoAfter fi ve-plus decades in the sport, as a player, coach and administrator, Lance Carey is retiring from the game. But, he says, he’s willing to be an occasional con-sultant.

Y esterday, June 26th, 2014, Gerard Edwards was sworn in as Chair of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce for the

2014-15 year. Edwards’ company, Incisive Marketing Inc. has been a member of the chamber since 2009 and during the past fi ve years, Gerard has been an integral force in the organization. Edwards became involved “literally since the fi rst week I joined and was invited to join the International [Committee], which at the time was chaired by Tony Kwan,” Edwards explains. From there, Gerard joined the Chamber Board of Directors in 2010 and eventually became Chair of the International Committee. Recently, he has been an active member in the Greater China Exchange Sub-Committee and served as Vice-Chair of the Richmond Chamber for the past year.

Professionally, Edwards is the defi nition of a Renaissance Man. He will bringing to the role of Chair his prolifi c experience as an engineer, entrepreneur, educator, author and management consultant, specializing in business development, marketing, sales and education. He is a life time member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of BC. A member of the Canadian Association of Management Consultants, he is also a past director of the Institute of Certifi ed Management Consultants of British Columbia (CMC-BC).

An award winning educator and faculty emeritus, Gerard has developed and managed a variety

He is also the previous owner/partner of several hi-tech companies in the fi elds of satellite, telecommunications, avionics and law enforcement.

With sage experience and a proven track record, Edwards is poised to lead the Richmond Chamber through an exciting year of development and expansion.

Questions and Answers: What inspired you to become a member?

I believe businesses owe it to the community to be involved in ensuring the well-being of the community from both a business view point and that of our society. I attended a breakfast networking session, liked what I saw, met with

the Executive Director and liked what I heard, and joined with a commitment to get involved.

Why do you think networking is important for business people?

Yes, I see it as relationship building and even if the people you meet when networking are not your typical client, invariably they know someone who is, and can introduce you to them. You in turn can do the same for those you meet.

What is some advice you would impart to our recent graduates?

You need to fi nd an industry that you relate to, a fi rm you like who also produce products and services that you would be proud to be associated with, and then do what it takes to get hired. Along the way, if you want to start your own business that’s great, but get some experience fi rst. By that then you should also have made contacts that can be a resource and customers for your new business.

What do you think is the greatest challenge facing the business community in Richmond?

Respecting, embracing and engaging our diversity of cultures, and in particular our youth – they are our future, and a phenomenal and talented resource.

What are the advantages of being a member of the RCC?

Being around people who care and want to make a difference in the well-being of others, our businesses, and our community.

What do you hope to accomplish in your year as Chair of the RCC?

Increased membership engagement! We are a membership organization, and engaging our membership in a benefi cial and meaningful way is key to membership retention and growth. The more engaged we are, the more input we have from our members, and the more informed we will be. We position ourselves as the voice of business in Richmond; with a more engaged membership, the stronger and more relevant our voice will be.

Pathways clubhouse off ers winning partnerships to Richmond businesses

B ayou Brewing has been helping its customers make wine & beer (as well as wine coolers, ciders, ice-wines, ports,

sherries, sparkling wines, etc.) on premises since 1994. Mike Harvey, the current owner, has been involved since 2011. Their value proposition is simple – drink quality alcoholic beverages for a fraction of the price of what you can fi nd in liquor stores.

Customers are savvy shoppers, mostly of two types: discerning beer connoisseurs, drawn by Bayou’s wide reaching reputation and impressive selection, and local wine lovers, who like to entertain and value the savings that U-Brew offers. Beer makers come from all over the lower mainland to brew at Bayou Brewing, whereas wine is more proximity based – 50% plus of whom are local Richmondites, and primarily from the Asian community. Mike Harvey understands his demographics and has hired staff fl uent in Mandarin, Cantonese, Tagalog and more.

When Mike’s family relocated from Alberta to BC in 2010, he was able to turn his long-time hobby of making

wine and beer, into a full-time career. Fascinated by the science, and with a deep love of the craft, Mike committed

fully to providing a better U-Brew experience to his

customers. When he bought the business, he upgraded the computer system, and with that updated technology was able to offer a

more agile inventory. Suddenly, Bayou

Brewing was able to expand from 120 wine and

beer kits choices to over 400!Brewing one’s own beer or wine is

an experience. Not only are customers saving money, they’re learning about the process and engaging in the production. When a customer comes to Bayou Brewing, they’re educated about the fl avour differences in various products and can customize a beverage suited specifi cally to their own tastes, desires and budget. They can even print their own labels – to give as gifts or just impress guests! Once customers mix all the ingredients together, the product is left with Bayou to ferment for 5-9 weeks. Then, customers just pop by the store to bottle and fi nish the process. After that, the only thing left to do is enjoy!

MemberProfile

P athways has been here in Richmond supporting 20 per cent of the

population affected by mental illness for 30 years. Every day, more than 70 people use their location. Those people could be members of your family, your friends, your employees and your colleagues.

The transitional employment program, designed to get members out into the community and earning a living, is the cornerstone of the Pathways Clubhouse program. It works by arranging with an employer for Clubhouse to take on an entry-level job, such as maintenance, food preparation, dishwashing and offi ce work. The employer trains a Clubhouse staff person to do the job. That staff person then arranges for a member, someone who has a mental illness, to take over the job and also takes responsibility to train that person. For the next six to eight months, the person with mental illness does the job, with

the support of the staff person. So if the person with mental illness is unable to show up for work, the staff person covers. The employer gets a guarantee from Pathways that the job will be done. And the member gets support with getting back into the workforce.

For employers, it is a good deal because they train a staff person once only. For members, it’s a good deal because if gives them the opportunity to develop work habits as well as job skills, being punctual, dress, hygiene, social skills in a safe environment. After six to eight months, the job passes to another member, who gets trained again by the Clubhouse staffer.

A Clubhouse member might go through several transitional jobs, before they fi nd a job on their own. They can also restart their education with Pathways Clubhouse help with applications for schools or scholarships. Once a member, they are always welcome at the Clubhouse.

Members have a

variety of educational backgrounds and work experience and possess many skills. Like anyone, each of them has a strong desire to work and be productive members of the workforce. Partnering with Pathways is the perfect opportunity for businesses to make a positive difference in the community.

They have had many

successful partnerships with various businesses in the Richmond area such as Cactus Club, Heatherbrae Construction, Little Caesar’s Pizza, Peake of Catering. Examples of some of the work they do include: production work, retail, food preparation, dish washing, maintenance, offi ce assistance, among others.

Pathways staff train and support members at local businesses.

Spirit of Math Schools Inc. (SMS) has received the honour of ranking #323 in Canada’s Profit 500. The SMS organization has realized 5 year revenue growth rate of 154 per cent. The most interesting part of this announcement is that SMS spends less than two per cent of the total revenue on market-ing, which points towards the fact that this phenomenal 154 per cent growth over five years has been driven by parental referrals. The success of the 4,500+ students who are currently enrolled in 35 schools across Canada, with one in the U.S. and one in India experi-ence in the classroom leads to student / parent referrals which continues to fuel SMS growth. For more than 25 years, Spirit of Math students have dominated the national honour roles and mathematics competitions. The success of the students supported by the hardworking team and accredited teachers at Spirit of Math Schools is driving the growth.

Prospects eye future successDoubles teammates, Canada’s Brayden Schnur and Mexico’s Hans Hach are keen to advance their careersby Don FennellSports Editor

Brayden Schnur’s favourite post-match meal is a healthy serving of lasagna. It may be

the perfect topping to this week’s Richmond Future tennis tourna-ment.

One of Canada’s most promising young players, Schnur is poised to collect both valuable experience and points in the inau-gural Lower Mainland International Tennis Federation men’s pro circuit event which draws to a close Sunday at the Richmond Country Club.

Ranked fourth in singles and third in dou-bles, with Mexico’s Hans Hach, Schnur will celebrate his 19th birthday July 4. Winning either, or perhaps even both, titles would defi nitely be icing on the cake for the aff able University of North Carolina sophomore.

“I’m one of the youngest players in this tournament so it’s really all a learning pro-cess,” Schnur said after he and Hach defeat-ed the Canadian pair of Riann Du Toit and Patrick Walker 7-5, 6-3 Wednesday to reach Thursday’s semifi nal versus Ryan Cheung of Hong Kong and Oscar Matthews of the U.S.

“There are a lot of aspects of my game that can improve.”

Ranked 564th in the world, one that could rise quickly this summer, Schnur’s potential is clear. Armed with a boatload of natural talent, he also aready stands six-foot-three and is still growing.

“I think I could still be bigger and stronger, but I’m getting quality matches and that’s the biggest things for me—playing the best players I can in the world,” he said. “Tourna-ments like this provide great experience. Sure, it’s about results now too, but it’s a learning process even more.”

Highly-recruited out of Bill Crothers Sec-ondary School, Schnur reached a career high junior world ranking of 26th and won the men’s doubles championship at the Mexico F17 Futures event. He also led Team Ontario

to a gold medal at the 2013 Summer Canada Games and also won the boys’ singles title at last year’s Canadian junior championship.

Though they’ve been familiar with one another, having played in many of the same tournaments in recent years, this is the fi rst time Schnur and Hach have teamed

up. After three matches in the Richmond Futures, they seem to have established a good rapport.

“You see a lot of the same people going to the same tournaments, and so we’d known we each other for a while,” said Hach. “So I texted him asking if he wanted to play

doubles. I thought we could do pretty well because he’s got a big serve and that helps me out because I think I do pretty well at the net.”

RICHMOND FUTURES TENNIS

Don Fennell photoOntario’s Brayden Schnur, 18, is among a growing crop of highly-regarded young Canadian tennis players. Currently ranked 56th in the world singles rankings, he’s hoping to make a strong impression—while gaining valuable points and experience—at this week’s Richmond Futures men’s pro circuit tennis tournament on through Sunday at the Richmond Country Club.

Peliwo seems primed for fi nals showdownFrom Page 29

Originally from Culiacan, Mexico, Hans Hach, 24, gradu-ated in 2013 from the small West Texas Abilene Christian University.

Currently ranked 1,100th in the ITP men’s singles rank-ings, Hach was an All-Amer-ican in singles play his fi nal year of college and fi nished ranked sixth in singles and 17th in doubles.

“It was a great experience and a lot of fun, but college tennis is so diff erent,” he said. “College is a process and going pro is another process. You have to get used to play-ing on tour again and having to arrange your own sched-ule. I’m trying to fi nd tourna-ments together, make the main draws and gain points as I’m working on improving my ranking. Right now I’m enjoying it a lot and as long I think I’m getting better why not continue. I’ve given my-self at least three or four years to see where it goes.”

•Top-seeded Filip Peliwo, ranked 242nd in the ITP world rankings, is the favorite to net the singles award at the $15,000 Richmond Futures (sponsored by Davis Trading and Supply Ltd.) Sunday.

Peliwo, 20, who became

the fi rst Canadian male and second Canadian ever to win a grand slam in singles at any level with his 2012 Wimbel-don boys’ title victory (he was also runner-up in the boys’ singles event at the 2012 Aus-tralia Open and French Open events), won his fi rst match at the Richmond Futures defeating fellow Canadian Tommy Mylnikov 6-3, 7-6 and was slated to play George Jecminek, also of Canada, in round two.

Philip Bester, the second seeded singles player in the tournament, won his fi rst two matches 6-1, 7-5 over Felix Fan and 7-6, 6-1 over Chu to advance to a quarter-fi nal match versus fi fth-seed Rik De Voest of South Africa. Bester, 25, of North Vancou-ver, reached No. 229 in the world rankings in 2011. His career singles record is 2-6 (at the ATP Tour level, Grand Slam level and in Davis Cup play).

Jecminek and Chu upset the No.1-seeded doubles team of American Patrick Davidson and Australian Chris Letcher 6-2, 4-6 (10-8) in fi rst-round play, before losing 6-4, 6-2 to Cheung and Matthews in the quarter-fi nals.

Final-round play (singles and doubles) is scheduled to start at noon, but fans are encouraged to revisit the tournament website rccfu-tures.com for updated order of play.

Vancouver’s Filip Peliwo is seeded No. 1 in the men’s singles event at the inaugural Richmond Futures, which concludes Sunday at the Richmond Country Club.

Richmond’s Danny McDermott will play next season for Montreal-based McGill University Redmen.

McDermott set to join McGillAnother Richmond lacrosse

product is heading to Montreal.After signing a letter of intent

to play for the men’s lacrosse program this week, Danny Mc-Dermott will join fellow Rich-mond defender Quinton Brad-ley on the McGill University Redmen next season.

The six-foot-two, 200-pound transfer from New York Institute of Technology will be pursuing a certificate in applied marketing at McGill. He was a three-time Division II All-American and was twice named as the ECC defen-sive player of the year.

Prior to his stint south of the border, McDermott was a member of Team Canada’s Un-der-19 squad that competed at the 2012 world championships where he was named to the All-World team and selected as the tourney’s most outstanding defenceman. McDermott pre-viously played box lacrosse in British Columbia with the Delta Islanders of the B.C. Junior A league.

“Strengthening our defen-sive unit was recruiting prior-ity No.1, so we’re thrilled about the arrival of McDermott,” said Tim Murdoch, who has posted a 116-71-2 career record in 189

games over his 11 seasons as head coach of the Redmen. “He brings unprecedented skill and maturity to our squad.”

The Redmen, which posted a 14-2 overall record last year, including a perfect 10-0 mark in regular-season play, will be

gunning for their fourth con-secutive East Division title in the Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association.

With Quinton Bradley returning, university lacrosse team will feature two Richmond players next season

Provincial B Cup youth soccer kicks off here July 3

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Heritage-style elegance is at top of mind at Polygon’s Kingston House, a collection of two-bedroom apartment residences in a master-planned community that is inspired by an Ivy League legacy.

“You can move in this summer,” says sales manager Judy Rohatyn. “With payments from $899 a month, this is a great opportunity for fi rst-time buyers to purchase a home in the South Surrey market.”

Kingston House is the fi rst apartment collection at Polygon’s Harvard Gardens, a master-planned community that is also

close to top schools, golf courses, shopping and dining.“Th ere’s nothing like this anywhere else,” Rohatyn says.

“Many parents of fi rst-time buyers recognize the great value and are bringing their kids to Kingston House to assist them in buying their fi rst home.”

Th e homes at Kingston House are spacious and inviting, with over-height ceilings on the main and fourth fl oor, generous patios or covered decks, and huge windows. Engineered stone countertops in the kitchen are complemented by fl at-panelled cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. Rich wood laminate

fl ooring is featured throughout the main areas, with lush carpeting in the bedrooms. Spa-like bathrooms have designer-selected imported porcelain tile fl ooring, engineered stone countertops and a contemporary patterned hand-set ceramic tile tub and shower surround with marble and glass mosaic tile accents. Th e master ensuite adds another touch of luxury with dual porcelain undermount sinks (most plans) and polished chrome accessories.

Outside, the architecture is inspired by the East Coast, with brick cladding, natural wood soffi ts and black metal detailing.

Homeowners at Kingston House will also have access to Th e Rowing Club; a private residents-only clubhouse featuring over 9,000 sq.ft . of resort-style amenities such as an outdoor pool and spa, gymnasium, fi tness facilities, a screening room and other amenities. A resident concierge will be available to assist with your every need, and two fully furnished suites are available for out-of-town guests.

Two-bedroom homes start at $259,900. For more information, visit by the presentation centre at 152nd Street and 32nd Avenue, open 12 to 6 p.m. daily except Fridays, call 604-541-8092, or visit polyhomes.com.

Premier living at Polygon’s Kingston House

By Kerry Vital

Th e Cottages at Seabright Farm is the largest and newest residential project in Point Roberts. Construction recently started, and Lower Mainland residents are fl ocking to it to purchase their own private piece of paradise.

“You can purchase an ocean-view cottage for less than the price of an average condominium in Vancouver,” says Wayne Knowles of Orca Shores LLC, the project’s

developer.Seabright Farm is comprised of 58 lots

spread across 62 acres of gently sloping south-facing waterfront. Th e large lots (1/4 to 1/2 an acre) off er privacy along with the great views and are located in three distinct zones: the Bluff , the Meadows and the Woodlands. Seabright Farm will also have a barn/community centre, greenhouse, outdoor swimming pool and hot tubs, sauna, community vegetable and fl ower gardens,

and orchards. Th e trails are perfect for running, cycling or horseback riding, and off er direct access to the beach. Because of both the elevation and south slope of the entire property, you’ll fi nd a gorgeous view no matter where you purchase.

Th e cottage plans range from 850 to over 2,500 square feet, in a variety of two-or-more-bedroom fl oor plans. Th e styles include open fl oor plans, stone fi replaces, sunny window seats, hardwood fl ooring, large relaxing decks and covered porches. All of the plans give owners the option to expand their cottages in the future, whether it’s with a guesthouse, a studio or a separate master suite. Covered decks and breezeways can be built between the buildings, and garages (complete with

guest suites) or potting sheds added to truly make your Seabright cottage your own. Th e cottage designs have been specifi cally developed to refl ect the historical summer cottages and simple farm buildings typical of Point Roberts.

Th at character is obvious when you visit the sales centre, which is actually an original farmhouse from the 1890s that’s been outfi tted with fi nds from garage sales and Pottery Barn. It will become an additional gathering place for Seabright owners, along with the barn-themed community hall that will be used as a venue for neighbourhood

gatherings, art shows for local artists, cooking demonstrations, musical performances and wine tastings, among many other things!

And beyond Seabright Farm, Point Roberts has plenty of other things to do, whether you’re staying for a month, a week or just a weekend. Play a round of golf at the 18-hole Point Roberts Golf and Country Club, or pay a visit to the Lighthouse Marine Park to see Orca whales, comb the beach or go clamming or crabbing. Th e 275-acre Lily Point Marine Reserve is just around the beach corner from Seabright Farm, and features sandy bluff s and tidal fl ats. Th e full-service Point Roberts Marina has over 900 slips and is also only minutes away. Th e Point’s unique restaurants and eclectic shops round out the experience.

Canadians looking to purchase a cottage at Seabright Farm will be able to secure attractive long-term fi nancing through a U.S. banking institution with 20 per cent down, and a Real Estate Disclosure Statement has been fi led in British Columbia.

With the opening of the South Fraser Perimeter Road earlier this year and plans to build a new bridge to replace the tunnel on Hwy 99, getting to Point Roberts is becoming that much more convenient from all parts of the Lower Mainland.

Th e pricing at Seabright Farm is also exceptional, with lots starting at $180,000 U.S., while cottage and lot combinations start at $399,000.

For more information about Th e Cottages at Seabright Farm, visit www.seabrightfarmcottages.com, call toll-free at 1-888-732-6915 or email [email protected].

Submitted photosThe Cottages at Seabright Farm are located just minutes from the Lower Mainland, but you’ll easily be able to put your worries aside at your historically inspired cottage in a gorgeous ocean-view location. Tons of amenities are just around the corner, including the Point Roberts Marina.

Richmond’s Glenn Gawdin has been invit-ed by Hockey Canada to attend the national summer under-18 team selection camp Aug. 2 to 5 in Calgary.

A forward with the Swift Current Bron-cos of the Western Hockey League, which drafted him fi fth overall in the 2012 Bantam draft from Seafair Minor Hockey, Gawdin is one of 44 players in the Canadian Hockey League to be invited to the camp, which will determine the lineup for the team that will travel to Europe to compete in the 2014 U18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup Aug. 11 to 16 in Breclav, Czech Republic and Piestany, Slova-kia. Of the 44 players who have been invited to the selection camp, 22 will be selected for Canada’s National Men’s Summer Under-18 Team. Canada has won the summer under-18 tournament six consecutive years and nine of the last 10.

The camp roster includes 18 players from the Western Hockey League, 15 from the Ontario Hockey League, 10 from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and one who

played U.S. high school hockey last season.In total, 40 players (four goaltenders, 16 de-

fencemen and 20 forwards) competed at the 2014 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, and three players (Mathew Barzal, Lawson Crouse and Travis Konecny) helped Canada’s Nation-al Men’s Under-18 Team win a bronze medal as under-agers at the 2014 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 World Championship in Lappeenranta and Imatra, Finland.

The players, born in 1997, were selected by Ryan Jankowski, Hockey Canada’s head scout for men’s national teams, in consultation with head coach Derek Laxdal .

“It is always a challenge to select players given the depth of talent in Canada,” Jan-kowski said. “As a staff , we will have diffi cult decisions to make, but our goal remains to select the best team, and to represent Cana-da proudly at this event.”

Gawdin, who will be elgible for the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, played 66 games for the Broncos last season in which he scored 10 goals and assisted on 12 others.

Local seniors and other residents in dire need of dental care had reason to smile at a recent free dental clinic at Richmond Hospital. Led by Dr. Doug Nielsen of Ste-veston Smiles and his wife Susan, the third Dental Mission Project / University of B.C. Dentistry clinic brought together 14 UBC students, local dentists and a dentur-ist to provide free dental care April 5. Doug and Susan founded the Dental Mission Project Society in 2008 with the help of family, friends, Milan and Maureen Ilich Foundation, Patterson Dental and Steveston Rotary Club. The society provides dental equipment and supplies to local dental teams to use in volunteer clinics both locally and internationally. It has helped facilitate over $2 million of free den-tistry to thousands of people in need throughout the world.
