Foodies Cookies for a good cause hungry for $50,000 blogging opportunity International press eating up Tourism Richmond’s job posting

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter The international media is eating up Tourism Richmond’s job posting that is a foodie’s delight and includes a premium salary and free eats.

With more than three weeks remaining until the application deadline closes, hundreds of applicants have already emailed in their resumes, hoping to stake the $50,000 salary and the daunting caloric task of eating at a different Richmond restaurant every day for an entire year.

“The online buzz and attention...yeah, it’s exceeded our expectations,” said Tourism Richmond spokesperson Kristen McKenzie.

The job also comes with compensation for accomodations, though those details haven’t been finalized.

So far, applications have come from far abroad, including Indonesia, Australia, Thailand, the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom and the United States, among others.

Interested bloggers can apply online via Tourism Richmond’s Facebook page: www. facebook.com/RichmondBC. Tourism Richmond says this is a genuine candidate search and a standard interview process will apply.

Night market wins conditional approval Council votes 7-2 in favour after operator pledges to scrap pay parking

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter At least one Asian-themed night market is poised to begin selling knick-knacks, novelties and nibbles after city council gave the Richmond Night Market condition-

al approval Tuesday.

In a 7-2 vote, civic politicians decided to advance a permit application for the Richmond Night Market to a March 19 public hearing—the market’s final test at city hall.

The permit would allow a Raymond Cheung—who first brought

the night market concept to Richmond 12 years ago—to operate a market on a large vacant property at the north end of No. 3 Road from May to October for the next three years.

Oval artwork installed in memory of innocent murder victim

Richmond Night Market set for return

Metal sculpture dubbed Volleyball Player honours Ned Mander, an innocent victim of gang violence

From Page 1 “He did everything the city required of him. He also addressed all the issues that the council members proposed to him at the previous meeting,” said Coun. Bill McNulty, who chairs council’s planning committee.

Last month, the committee halted the market’s expected endorsement after Great Canadian Gaming Corporation, which operates River Rock, complained market traffic would negatively impact the casino. The market site is next to the casino.

Casino officials told council that access to River Rock would be impeded by market traffic on River Road— and some pay parking at the market would also drive market customers into casino parkades.

Spokesperson Howard Blank appeared before council again Tuesday to reiterate Great Canadian’s concerns.

But Cheung is now abandoning his potential for pay parking, is pledging to staff lots with attendants and is planning an alternate access route to the parking lot if streets become overwhelmed with vehicle traffic.

The majority of council agreed with city staff, who noted the changes— designed by consultant R.F. Binnie and Associates Ltd.—address the casino operator’s concerns.

Couns. Harold Steves and Evelina Halsey-Brandt voted against the plan. Halsey-Brandt isn’t convinced the area, with its short blocks, is suitable for a market expected to draw thousands of vehicles to the area each weekend. She predicted traffic bottlenecks will negatively impact surrounding businesses and homes.

“You’re going to create traffic nightmares,” she said. “The night market is a wonderful thing to have, but not at the expense of the residents and the people who want to access the airport and the existing businesses.”

Halsey-Brandt failed in her bid to have the three-year permit reduced to one year, which she said would have provided a test to the market’s traffic plan.

Under Cheung’s new plan, a 1,505-stall lot would be free for the duration of the market, with 300 spots reserved for vendors and employees. Free parking removes pay booths, which could have been traffic choke points.

According to the R.F. Binnie report, the market operator is also exploring the possibility of securing an additional parking lot at Bridgeport and No. 3 roads. The consultant also noted the market will promote the use of public transit through advertising, promotions and prizes.

Paul Cheung’s Lions Communications has submitted a permit application to stage his fourth night market on a north Richmond property near Home Depot, at 12631 Vulcan Way. “I would assume with that one we would apply the same principles,” said McNulty. “Free parking, extra people for traffic control, those kinds of things, because obviously we will want to have a level playing field.”

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter The latest piece of artwork at the Richmond Olympic Oval was installed quietly on the building’s third floor last month, a silent tribute from a local family that continues to grieve the loss of a loved one.

Volleyball Player, a 400-pound metal sculpture by artist Cory Fuhr, was commissioned by the family of Narinder Mander, who was the innocent victim of Indo-Canadian gang violence in October of 2001.

Known to friends and family as Ned, Mander was kidnapped and murdered after leaving his NED MANDER North Surrey bath products store. A graduate from Richmond High, he was 28 years old at the time of his death, and his remains have never been found.

After enduring years of speculation by the media and the public, police finally cleared Mander’s name in 2009.

“He was an innocent victim caught in the crossfire of a bitter rivalry,” RCMP Sgt. Tim Shields said at the time.

Mander’s brother, Dave, said the statue will help the family to heal, though without his remains ever having been found, reaching closure has been difficult.

“We are extremely proud Richmondites and it’s wonderful to be able to give something to the city that has given us so much. My brother Ned was a skilled volleyball player so we hope to inspire future generations of young athletes and people who visit the Richmond Olympic Oval,” he said.

Dave Mander credited Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie and the rest of council, city public art planner Eric Fiss, and artist Fuhr—who “created a stunning work of art.”—for helping to make the project a reality.

YVR boss outlines $1.8 billion strategy

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Vancouver Airport Authority boss Larry Berg shared details of YVR’s $1.8 billion in planned improvements at a Richmond Chamber of Commerce luncheon Thursday afternoon.

Berg, the authority’s president and CEO, outlined the 10-year strategy aimed at keeping the airport competitive and boosting the B.C. economy.

“More passengers using YVR means more flight choices, more tourists, more jobs for British Columbians,” Berg told a crowd of business leaders at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel.

Berg said planned capital proj-

ects range from maintaining airport infrastructure to enhancing customer service to improving safety and security.

It will all be funded through operating revenues, debt and the airport improvement fee.

Effective May 1, the airport improvement fee will rise from $15 to $20. The fee for travel within B.C. and Yukon will remain at $5.

Berg noted other major airports in Canada, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary. Edmonton, have already raised their fee to $25.

“Over the last 20 years, we’ve raised the (airport improvement fee) only once, and that was in Matthew Hoekstra photo 2004 to help fund the Canada Larry Berg, Vancouver Airport Authority’s president and CEO, speaks to the Line construction.”

CrossCanada relay arrives in Richmond May 20, concludes in Vancouver

Mark West

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter The Richmond Olympic Oval’s legacy plaza will host a celebration of the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay this spring when the nationwide journey arrives in Richmond.

The relay began in Newfoundland and Labrador Aug. 24, 2011, retracing the Canadian leg of the original Man in Motion World Tour.

Over 7,000 people are participating in the relay, each passing a single medal to the other along the 12,000-kilometre journey. Hansen, who has been appearing in stops along the route, is expected to attend the event in Richmond— where he lives.

City staff are organizing the celebration, which community events manager Eric Stepura said will “recognize someone in our community who has done a tremendous amount of work to improve the lives of people with disabilities.”

On Sunday, May 20, the relay will travel from White Rock through South Delta and into Richmond. Brief stops will be made at community centres in South Arm, Steveston, West Richmond and Thompson, before the relay arrives at the oval’s plaza for a 4 p.m. celebration.

After the Sunday event, the relay will depart Richmond at 7 a.m. May 21 for Vancouver, ending the next day with a homecoming celebration there.

City council has committed $40,000 to the Richmond event, and volunteers will be recruited to help stage it.

“This is a huge event.

It’s a celebration of one of the world’s feats,” said Coun. Bill McNulty Monday. “It pays tribute to somebody who has brought this to the forefront.”

The relay’s arrival at the oval coincides with

Council to scrap natural park plan Townhouses, apartments now likely for 4.86hectare City Centre site

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A planned natural park in a redeveloping neighbourhood of West Cambie is being scrapped by city council, despite the objections of one councillor.

The West Cambie Area Plan calls for a 4.86 hectare (12 acre) natural park near Alderbridge Way and No. 4 Road. The land, still privately-owned and occupied by single-family homes, could soon

anchor townhouses and apartments.

But Coun. Chak Au wondered why staff suggested the change without similar public consultation used to develop the original plan six years ago.

“If we’ve gone through a process to designate these lands as natural park and have reasons for it—for us to consider changing the designation, I think we should go through a similar process,” said Au. Policy planning manager Terry Crowe said council’s 7-1 decision Monday—which requires ratification March 12—will lead to public consultation on future use.

But the possibility of a park—expected by new condominium and townhouse owners moving into the Alexandra neighbourhood— will be off the table.

Asked Au: “What has changed...to suggest that we should consider (changing) the designation?”

Said Crowe: “We have the Garden City lands that could be a benefit there. And whatever the dollars are to buy this land we could apply them somewhere else.”

The city didn’t buy the land in 2006 for $23.6 million because of “other priorities,” said parks manager Mike Redpath in a report to council.

An updated cost wasn’t provided Monday, but skyrocketing land prices have pushed it higher.

The area plan also calls for a neighbourhood park and greenway, and the city has already bought 3.12 hectares (7.71 acres) of land for that purpose. That satisfies the requirements for public open space in the area, said Redpath,

who also noted a greenway will be maintained from Alderbridge Way to Cambie Road.

Coun. Evelina Halsey-Brandt said some areas of the city are inappropriately designated as environmentally sensitive natural areas.

“When you take a look at this and you go down there, you realize those blackberries really are not environmentally sensitive,” she said. “To call this a true (environmentally sensitive area) is really pushing the envelope.”

Meanwhile, at least some of the 15 affected property owners have been anxiously awaiting the city to make a move, since the land’s park designation limited buyers to one—the city.

Scrapping the natural park designation provides certainty for property owners, staff say, while property of equal or better ecological value could be purchased elsewhere.

ill the teachers’ strike morph into a 2012 version of Operation Solidarity, the 1983 labour-led protest that brought B.C. to the brink of a general strike?

While there are some similarities, it isn’t too likely — despite the rhetoric of labour leaders and a mysterious sympathy picket line that shut down some provincial government operations in Victoria on Tuesday.

In 1983, the Social Credit government of Bill Bennett brought in a sweeping program of government economy, and took a few direct pokes at some bodies it did not like, such as the rent review office and the human rights commission, under the “restraint” theme.

This occurred shortly after an election, and unlike the imposition of the HST under Gordon Campbell in 2009, the government was clear during the campaign that, if elected, there would be some attempt to curb spending and government programs.

When the whole program was introduced in a sweeping series of bills, organized labour and many community organizations were appalled. They quickly put together an action plan that included a series of

Don Denton/Victoria News photo Teachers and supporters rally in front of the provincial Legislature.

protests and strikes, with the final step before a planned general strike of all unionized employees being a week-long illegal walkout by teachers.

The Bennett government clearly overreached, and Operation Solidarity did succeed in getting it to back down on a few fronts, notably a plan to fire government employees without cause

and gut contracts with its unionized workers.

However, it took late-night negotiations at the premier’s home with Jack Munro, head of the largest private sector union in the province, to make that breakthrough.

Munro was vilified for years by fellow labour activists for “caving.”

The level of anger at the provincial government was

far higher in 1983 than it is today. Operation Solidarity attracted 40,000 people to a rally at Empire Stadium and succeeded in getting 60,000 people to protest outside a Social Credit convention.

It is highly unlikely that the teachers could attract that level of support.

Most workers, including government workers, are not getting raises. The B.C.

Teachers Federation call for 15 per cent pay increases and improved benefits doesn’t resonate.

However, the BC Liberal government has clearly angered not just the BCTF, but much of organized labour. It has given the labour movement renewed energy and passion.

participants will get to nibble on the creations that the high schools students worked on earlier that morning.

The conference is funded by the Public Health Association of B.C. and Joanne Bays, the provincial manager of Farm to School B.C. has organized this wonderful program. Currently, over 50 schools in B.C. have some kind of system where kids get to eat local food at lunch.

The irony that this conference is happening in Richmond hasn’t been lost on me. However, I am really hopeful that great things will come out of the event. I know

at least one school board trustee, Norm Goldstein, is attending the conference and many other city councilors will be around.

Richmond gets a chance to shine during this event. Competing schools will be shopping at our local farms, conference delegates will be touring the programs at Terra Nova Rural Park, and an amazing amount of brainpower will be in attendance on Saturday at City Hall. Lets hope Richmond gets an even better legacy of a Farm to Cafeteria program of our own. That’s something we can all be proud of.

From farm to cafeteria

Shades of Green Arzeena Hamir

‘W

e’ll take kale. And yes to the Jerusalem artichokes!”

I don’t often hear these words coming out of the mouths of adults so you can imagine my surprise when a group of teens forwarded this message to me. My jaw dropped.

But this is no ordinary group of teens. They’re from David Thompson Secondary in Invermere and they’re coming to Richmond to compete in a Local Food Iron Chef cook-off on Friday, March 9 at the Terra Nova Barn.

And, they’re competing against David Thompson Secondary from Vancouver.

The competition is part of the Farm to Cafeteria Conference that is taking place in Richmond this weekend. Folks from across B.C., as well as across Canada, will be converging in our fair city to discuss how we get more local food into our public institutions such as schools, hospitals, universities and nursing homes.

It makes such perfect sense. Institutions have huge purchasing power

when it comes to food.

What you and I accomplish in a year of buying local, Richmond Hospital would accomplish in a day. Imagine what would happen if they switched even just 10 per cent of their purchasing to supporting local farmers?

The food would be fresher, our tax dollars would be re-injected into the local economy, and hospital patients would get real food. They might even recover more quickly. I would take a bowl of applesauce made from local apples over a pudding cup or Jell-O any day.

The idea that our food could be our medicine is the topic of conversation on Friday night at the Terra Nova Barn. From “Pharm to Farm” is the title of the talk. During the talk,

Richmond Review · Page 9

letters Don’t blame pedestrians for reckless drivers Editor: Re: “Hit-and-run driver claims dog, injures pedestrian,” Richmond Review, Wednesday.

Another reckless driver, another hit-and-run, another mindless death, and more injuries.

The carnage continues in Richmond as pedestrians on cross-walks and road junctions get in the way of speeding, reckless, and distracted drivers, many of whom can barely hold still five seconds to let us cross the road.

This time it was “Ranger,” a sweet dog and friend of my Bella, who was killed. Many of us had the privilege of knowing this gentle dog and lovely owner. Bella will miss her friend. Step forward driver— this time you killed a dog; next time it may be a child or a mother or a senior or your own neighbour.

City hall has to take action and conduct a thorough review of road usage here in Richmond with the purpose of redirecting traffic on to specific arteries and lessen the risk to pedestrians in the great majority of our streets.

Further, all our pedestrian walkways should have the same “touch and feel” and they all need control lights as many drivers seem incapable of driving at speeds safe for local conditions.

Finally, the RCMP should stop blaming pedestrians. The report contained the obligatory two paragraphs lecturing pedestrians about dark clothing and making eye contact with drivers.

Perhaps one day soon the RCMP will explain how to make eye contact at night when a car is moving towards us with bright headlights.

It is past time that the RCMP holds drivers primarily responsible. Tell the truth and issue the following statement after every pedestrian accident: “I would like to remind drivers that if you hit a pedestrian and you are travelling faster than 50 km/h, you will be in a lot of trouble; if you hit a pedestrian on a cross-walk or at a road junction you will be in even more trouble; if you are driving recklessly you may face manslaughter charges.

Please remember: you travel at 10 times the speed of pedestrians, most cars can accelerate to 60 km/h in 10 seconds, your car is made of solid metal and weighs half a ton. The onus is on you to look out for pedestrians.”

Rest in peace sweet Ranger— we will miss you.

musical directions. Since most of his work in recent years has been in the Celtic and folk music realms, his repertoire is mainly focused on Irish, Scottish and English folk songs, as well as his own material in that vein.

Expect to hear some of his original songs and covers.

"My favourite gigs are the ones where people come to listen, to join in and to be entertained," he says on his website. "I like to tell the stories behind the songs and throw in a few jokes and a bit of daft patter."

After the Steveston show, Readman will keep busy after the Steveston show, with performances booked in Harrison Hot Springs (March 17), CelticFest Vancouver (March 18) and Bowen Island (March 24).

Spring break at the cannery Rain or shine, parents and kids will find lots to do at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site this Spring Break. Daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., a host of activities will be taking place inside.

Kids can create their own “best place to catch fish” map, make a compass rose or try their hand at constructing a model fishing boat from cork.

Our popular guided tours through the fascinating history of the 55,000 square foot cannery will also run every hour on the hour. On March 14 and 16 there will be special “Can You Handle It” interactive tours offered, where visitors are invited to take on the roles of specific cannery workers.

Farmers market on March 18 The next Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market is Sunday, March 18, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. inside the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site.

A second fundraising walk is being organized in Steveston to help the children of a small fishing village in Japan destroyed by a tsunami one year ago.

The Steveston Rotary Club and Steveston Community Centre are planning the one-kilometre walk Sunday, March 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., beginning at Fisherman’s Park across from the Gulf of Georgia Cannery. Rotarians will be cooking a pancake breakfast for participants, who are encouraged to drop off donations, for which tax receipts are available.

The walk follows a similar one organized last year following a massive earthquake and tsunami that devastated many areas of Japan. That walk, coupled with other efforts in Steveston, raised over $120,000 to help school children in the small village of Onagawa. The money bought 700 children’s lifejackets, which Jim Kojima helped personally deliver to the village adopted by Steveston.

“The town of Onagawa was completely destroyed,” said Kojima, an organizer of the event and vice-chair of the Richmond Sister City Committee. “We kind of tend to forget about it, but when you go there and see the devastation, I think it’ll take a generation or two (to recover).”

All new funds raised will buy tools, technology and other items needed by the Onagawa students, whose lives were turned upside down following the March 11, 2011 quake.

“So much was destroyed in that area. There’s a lot of things that kids had that they don’t anymore, and the schools want to keep up with technology today.

The governments are having a tough time supplying all the up-to-date stuff,” said Kojima.

Kojima hopes the legacy of Steveston’s connection with the village will continue with student exchanges in the future.

Come to our weekend long Co party Fri, Sat & Sun!

* with this ad on regular prices

Great food and good times at O’Hares purveyor of great food and good times.

That’s always been the motto at O’Hare’s Gastropub & Liquor Store.

From the day Jack O’Hare and his wife Jane launched the business in October 1987 to the present, the popular Steveston establishment has been the place to meet up with your mates for some good old Irish craic (a term for fun, entertainment and enjoyable conversation, particularly prominent in Ireland), or bring your granny for lunch.

Now managed by O’Hare’s daughter Erinn and her husband Grant Bryan, today’s O’Hares retains the same traditions, atmosphere and quality standards akin to a traditional Irish pub.

“We want O’Hares to be a place people are proud to call their neighbourhood pub,” says Erinn, who is elated by the positive response of customers to the new marquee sign on the property depicting a Celtic knot which means unity and longevity.

“It’s a place you can come in and feel at home.”

Family is foremost at O’Hares and reflected throughout the business. That nine employees have been part of the team for 15-plus years is testament to the esteem afforded staff.

“I think a key (to the pub’s longterm success) is that we’ve made a point of getting to know our customers,” says Erinn.

“When people come in servers might not know everyone’s name, but they tend to know what they drink.”

With 16 beers on tap, an assortment of local and international craft styles including core Irish brands, and of course traditional Guinness, O’Hare’s prides itself on serving quality brews alongside

Grant and Erinn Bryan manage O’Hare’s Gastropub & Liquor Store.

traditional and hearty homemade food.

“We pour a great beer,” says Erinn, adding that in part is the secret to a good pint of Guinness.

“You always get a good pint in a pub that sells a lot,” she explains, “because you know it’s fresh. But the key to the perfect pint is in the pour.

“You want to fill the glass about three-quarters full, let it settle, and the top it the rest of the way.

If you rush a pint it doesn’t settle properly.”

Copious amounts of Green Beer, Guinness, Irish Stew & great Craic!

O’Hare’s GastroPub 5031 Steveston Hwy (Railway & Steveston) TEL: 604 277 2305 E: info@ohares.ca

A pint on St. Paddy’s Day It’s the day everyone wants to be Irish. But even for those who aren’t, St. Patrick’s Day—a public holiday in the homeland and also in Newfoundland and Labrador—is occasion to celebrate.

March 17, 2012 will be a particularly special St. Patricks’ Day at O’Hare’s Gastropub in Steveston. It will be the 25th St. Patrick’s Day celebration at the local establishment, and management is promising copious amounts of green beer, Guinness, Irish Stew and great craic. Irish dancers will help complete a unique and special atmosphere.

“We were one of the first to do a proper St. Patrick’s Day party in the Lower Mainland, and by far the first in Richmond,” says Erinn Bryan, who notes this year’s celebration will extend over three days beginning March 16 and extending through March 18.

Besides traditional brew, the pub will also be serving up an extra helping of traditional Irish stew—an old family recipe featuring either beef or lamb complete with Irish soda bread.

Fresh daily, O’Hare’s will also be serving its popular meat pies—including kidney and steak, mushy peas and homemade fries.

“Since the day I was born there’s been green beer in our house,” laughs Bryan, who lived in Ireland for four-and-a-half years and has fond memories of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day there.

“It’s the same there as here, getting together with friends and family and having a lot of fun,”she says. “One of the things I’m proud of seeing here is that we have clientele of all ages. It’s one of the things my father (Jack O’Hare) achieved in creating an Irish pub—not just sticking a sign up and calling it that, but a place for people to gather. We get involved in the community and its events.

(O’Hare’s Pub is a member of the Steveston Merchants Association).”

ired boats surround old wooden homes mounted on uncertain pilings in Finn Slough—a tiny riverside community that’s drawn a steady stream of artists to its docks.

“It just leaves so much to the imagination,” said Vancouver artist and writer Michael Kluckner.

“The way that it fits together just doesn’t seem to conform to the way we now do communities. All these different objects cast the most interesting shadows.”

Kluckner is speaking tonight (Friday) at 7 p.m. during a special celebration at the 12th annual Art About Finn Slough exhibition. The exhibition, which runs through to March 11 at Richmond Cultural Centre, showcases paintings, photography wood works, film, ceramics and poetry about the Fraser River community at the south end of No. 4 Road.

Artists, partly motivated by rumours of Finn Slough’s impending demise, have been captivated

by Finn Slough’s unique and picturesque quality, said Kluckner, who gives a nod to the community in his writings—the latest arriving next month in his new book Vanishing Vancouver: The Last 25 Years.

Kluckner first painted there in 1995, returning to do more in 2000 and 2002. He recently returned to the slough after a decade away and noticed little had changed.

“There’s always this element hanging over it— something that’s going to disappear, something that was once really good and has now maybe fallen on hard times. So there’s a melancholy to it that appeals to writers. It appeals to artists and photographers too.”

Trzeciak will perform an intimate concert Sunday, March 18 at Vancouver International School of Music.

Born in Cracow, Poland, Trzeciak launched into her musical education at the age of seven. She earned a music diploma at the Warsaw Conservatoire, later selected

by the Polish Ministry of Culture to further her education in Moscow.

So began an international career that has taken her around the globe.

Trzeciak has performed in nearly all countries in Europe, along with Canada, the United States, Argentina, Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt and Israel.

She’s also played at many prestigious concert halls and at major

international festivals, and has many recordings to her credit.

More recently, she has performed in such venues as Auditorium Verdi in Milan, RudolďŹ num in Prague, Oratorio del Gonfalone in Rome, Manasterly Palace in Cairo and Yamaha Hall and Steinway Hall in New York.

She last performed with the concert series in 2009, when The Review asked her the difference between playing a major concert hall and a small music school. “Absolutely no difference. It all depends on the contact with the public,� she said.

Trzeciak lives in Brussels, Belgium, practising every day except during the summer, when she’s known to explore her second great passion of hiking.

Research has proven that children who develop strong reading skills early in life learn better, are less likely to fall behind, and are more successful students.

The charm of Finn Slough From Page 12 Today a couple dozen people live in the community, established in 1890 by Finnish ďŹ shermen. It has resisted change despite a push in more recent years from a private landowner to force the residents out. “Finn Slough, a large part of its charm is that it is like something you would run across way out in an unincorporated part of British Columbia,â€? said Kluckner.

Part of Kluckner’s talk Friday will note other B.C. communities somewhat parallel to Finn Slough, particularly Sointula—another community founded by Finns a century ago on a remote island near the northern tip of Vancouver Island.

Dearing Island in the North Arm of the Fraser also has similarities.

The island was home to a Japanese settlement prior to the war, and ultimately couldn’t resist development.

That’s a fate that could be in store for Finn Slough, one which could replace history with homogeny.

Said Kluckner: “To me everything that ends up getting developed, regardless of the good intentions of the developers, ends up becoming really quite generic.�

arts & entertainment New CD for Robert Pacheco Local singer-songwriter Robert Pacheco has released his latest pop-rock work—eight years in the making.

Urban Babylon, available at cdbaby.com and iTunes, is a 10-track album of “intellectual art rock with thought-provoking lyrics.”

The 40-something musician who cites John Lennon as a songwriting influence, has crafted songs with a social conscience and a sense of whimsy. Described on cdbaby.com: “An

interesting and intellectually different sounding collection of music that words alone cannot describe.”

Pacheco’s start in music came at age six, singing from Partridge Family song cards in front of other kids in the neighbourhood. He took up the guitar as a teenager, later adding piano and harmonica to his resume. By age 19, Pacheco began playing pubs, clubs and whoever else was hiring musical acts.

Then in 1992 Pacheco met Jim Larsen, a onetime member of Hellfield. They began a songwriting partnership that evolved into the band the Mustangs, which produced two albums.

Now comes Urban Babylon, Pacheco’s latest work—a solo project made with Larsen’s help on a couple tracks. Pacheco said he’s donating all proceeds from the sale of the title track “Urban Babylon” to palliative care at B.C. Children’s Hospital.

following expert advice from chef and doctor on the run, Diane Clement and Dr. Doug Clement in their book, Start Fresh!

As former Olympians and ambassadors of fitness and health, their goal is to guide people to adopt exercise and proper eating habits into their daily lives. Dr. Clement is an internationally recognized sports medicine clinician and researcher.

Diane lectures internationally with husband Doug on lifestyle: food, fitness and fun.

Their book recommends: “Before you begin to make changes in the amount of exercise you do each day and in your food intake, let’s figure out how healthy you are right now.”

Here are six questions by the Clements to assess your current lifestyle: Are you overweight? A good way is to check your Body Measurement Index. Find a good online BMI calculator on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control website at www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/assessing/ bmi/index.html.

Are you an apple or a pear? Measure your waist and height ratio: divide your waist measurement in inches or centimetres by your height in inches or centimetres.

Is your middle too big? Measure your waist in inches or centimetres. Stand with your abdominal muscles relaxed. Breathe out and wrap the measuring tape around your waist, level with the

highest portion of your pelvic bone. You are at risk: If your waist measures more than 37 inches (94 centimetres) for men or more than 31.5 inches (80 centimetres) for women.

Are you younger than you think? The Real Age calculator is a patented series of online questions that estimate the biological age of your body, your real age compared to your chronological age. The questions assess your medical and family history and then help you evaluate aspects of your lifestyle. See www.realage.com.

What is your life expectancy estimate? A variety of online calculators similar to Real Age are available, all with the goal of estimating your life expectancy.

When using each calculator, complete a questionnaire that probes your current and past medical history and assesses your lifestyle.

How much food is enough? The rate at which our bodies burn calories is known as our basal metabolic rate, or BMR. Use the online calculator at www. bmi-calculator.net. Enter your height and weight and then your age—the online calculator will come up with the results.

In their book, the Clements detail a 13-week walk-torun program. It will help you transform from a walker to a 10-kilometre runner.

The contest opens March 1, with submissions collected via local elementary schools and the Richmond RCMP detachment. Submissions will be accepted until March 30 at 5 p.m., with the winners notified at their respective school.

The goal of the project, according to RCMP Const.

Veronica Fox, is to engage local youth in participating in something police-related that’s fun.

Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place entries in both categories.

First-place winners will receive a pizza party for their class. As well, a student’s suggest patrol boat name, art or essay, may be used for display or other RCMP projects.

The contest is open to all youth in Grades 5 through 7.

Staff Reporter If you’re a local student in Grades 5 through 7, the Richmond Mounties are seeking your help, with pizza parties as the potential payoffs.

Last fall, the Richmond RCMP received a 7.3-metre rigid hull inflatable patrol boat to help monitor the city’s coastal sections.

Now local police are eager to enlist the help of Richmond’s elementary school students to rename the boat.

So they’re launching a boat naming contest, which runs for the month of March.

Students can either submit an essay on how they think the patrol boat will help Richmond Mounties serve their community, or create a piece of visual art depicting the ves-

Architecture just one amazing feature at Evelyn

Not your average tower development Set into the West Vancouver hillside, Onni’s Evelyn seems to be growing out of the mountain. With a unique design and amazing features, buyers are already snapping up the suites.

“You can’t really compare this to a runof-the-mill tower,” says Onni sales manager Nick Belmar. “You won’t find another project with this design and architecture.”

The architecture of Evelyn is seriously stunning, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows that let in huge amounts of light, and a stepped design that means the terraces become the roofs of the homes below. This makes for incredible southfacing views, and a quiet atmosphere as every home feels more private. The terraces range from 100 to 1,600 square feet, so

there is no shortage of outdoor entertaining potential. The buildings almost seem to flow down the hillside, making for a very natural feel to the entire project.

The first phase includes 105 homes in two different building styles, Cliffside and At Forest’s Edge.

“There is a good amount of green space around,” says Belmar. “The way the project was designed (means it) blends into the landscape ... it’s very impressive.”

West Vancouver is one of the most highly sought-after communities in the Lower Mainland, and buyers are able to find much to love there.

Homes at Evelyn start at $759,900. For more information, visit www.onni.com/ evelyn or call 604-922-0330.

Finding a home away from home

Catch cabin fever at the BC Log Home, Timber Frame & Country Living Show in Abbotsford

by Kerry Vital

If you’ve ever wanted to know more about log or timber frame homes, or are looking for something new for your home away from home, the BC Log Home, Timber Frame and Country Living Show is the perfect place for you to be on March 10 and 11. Taking place at the Tradex in Abbotsford from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, exhibitors will be ready and waiting to answer your every question.

Organizers expect close to 100 booths and some full-size log structures to be showcased at the event. Attendees will be able to browse the latest products and check out the newest technology from companies at the top of the log and timber frame home industry, as well as learn about the latest trends and services, such as generators, outdoor furniture, hot tubs, awnings, watersports and accessories, and alternative energy.

This year is expected to be a fantastic year for the industry, as the government has recently earmarked funds to continue its growth.

“Many members I have spoken to have seen a dramatic increase in interest from U.S. buyers in the last

six months, and western Canada has shown a lot of promise,” says BC Log and Timber Industry Association board member and general manger with Sitka Log Homes Walter Bramsleven. “As well, with B.C. leading the way toward proving energy efficiency and setting some basic standards such as blower door analysis and thermal testing, we once again will be the trend-setting builders in the log and timber frame world.”

With vacation cabins continuing to grow in popularity and timber frame homes also becoming a trend, this show is coming at just the right time.

The show has been dubbed one of the best and biggest in Canada, so those interested in finding out more about this type of home will find everything they could possibly imagine under one roof.

Tickets are available at the Tradex ticket counter on the day of the show.

For more information, visit www. bclogandcountrylivingshow.ca.

Submitted photos

Roughly 100 booths will be featured at this year’s BC Log Home, Timber Frame and Country Living Show, taking place in Abbotsford on March 10 and 11. Attendees will find plenty of information about all facets of log and timber frame homes.

Buy a Power Smart home, save three ways Save now, and save later: not many homes can promise you that. But when you buy a home from a Power Smart New Home Builder you’ll save money, including reduced mortgage insurance and lower monthly bills. An EnerGuide label is your assurance that the home is independently rated to be energy-efficient. And don’t forget, an energyefficient home is more comfortable too.

Layout, amenities, and those much-promoted granite countertops. There’s a lot to think about when you’re buying a new home.

But there’s one feature that can make a positive difference to your wallet when you purchase, and every month that you own your home.

Choosing a Power Smart New Home gives home buyers an easy way to find a home that is designed and built to save energy.

“Buying an energy-efficient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,” says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydro’s Power Smart New Home program. “If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage. But many new homes are not built with energy efficiency in mind - so looking for the EnerGuide label is wise.”

An EnerGuide rating is a standard measure of a home’s energy performance, rated on a scale of 0 to 100. A rating of 0 represents a home with major air leakage, no insulation and extremely high energy consumption. A rating of 100 represents a house that is airtight, well insulated, sufficiently ventilated and requires no purchased energy.

The first benefit you’ll find is on your mortgage insurance: Power Smart New Homes qualify for a 10 per cent refund on Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Mortgage

“

Buying an energy-efficient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,” says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydro’s Power Smart New Home program. “If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage.”

Insurance.

You’ll also save on your monthly bills. Homes that are rated EnerGuide 80 use at least 30 per cent less energy than an average new home. That’s money in your pocket every month – especially great when energy costs are only expected to rise. Buy a home with a rating higher than EnerGuide 80, and save even more.

The third benefit is resale value; as energy costs rise and green building continues to gain popularity, a home that demonstrates its efficiency will likely hold its value as compared to one that is inefficient with high monthly operating costs.

There are other benefits as well, Overholt says.

“Builders who are smart about energy efficiency are adopting improved building practices and making use of new technologies. Their homes are more comfortable – cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter – while using less energy overall. It’s hard to add energy efficiency later; you need to get it built in from the start.”

The Power Smart New Home program gives you an easy way to find houses, townhomes, and condos that are designed to save energy.

For more information and to find your energy efficient dream home, check out the full listing of Power Smart New Home Builders and featured developments at bchydro.com/pshomes.

WE MAKE IT EASY TO FIND A HOME THAT’S BUILT TO SAVE. NOT ALL NEW HOMES ARE BUILT WITH ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN MIND. That’s why it pays to look for a Power Smart New Home Builder when shopping for your next home.

Power Smart New Homes are independently rated EnerGuide 80 or higher, which means they use at least 30% less energy than an average new home.

And since they’re built the smart way, they stay cooler in the summer and cozier in the winter—all while saving you money for years to come.

sports ‘Fantastic’ weekend for girls’ soccer Local sides excel in Cup playdowns

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Richmond Red Hot Selects won the under-18 girls’ Metro Division soccer championship Sunday, highlighting a strong weekend by local sides.

Capping a 15-1 regular season, the team is now looking forward to competing in the Coastal Cup playdowns which kick off at the end of March. For the second

season in a row, the finals will be played in Richmond at Minoru Park and Richmond High May 5 and 6.

Glen Ingham’s U15 Gold Division Raiders and Raf Perri’s U17 Rockets have also advanced to the Coastal Cup tournament.

The Rockets won the Coastal Cup at the U15 level two seasons ago.

Red Hot Selects’ coach Clive Clarke also guided his under-12 Allstars to gold in the A Cup final, one of six of the 11 Richmond house and select teams at the under-11 and under-12 di-

visions to reach the semifinals at last weekend’s South District Cup finals. Four of the teams medalled.

“That’s fantastic,” said Richmond Girls’ Soccer executive director Stewart MacPherson.

The under-12 Presidents Medallion B Cup final was an all-Richmond affair, with the Vaughan defeating the Monstors.

Richmond Dragons won silver medals in the under-11 Red Cup, while the Rebels reached the semifinals of the Presidents Medallion A Cup.

Gattens’ boys defend U18 metro league honours

Spec

With the launch of the provincial high performance soccer league this season, the chances of Richmond United repeating as champions of the under-18 boys’ Metro Division seemed in doubt.

They shouldn’t have been.

Though United lost several players to the new circuit, those who opted to stay (there were only 12 players on the roster to start the season and even now only 14) proved more than

capable of meeting the challenge. With last Sunday’s 3-1 win over Surrey Pegasus in the league final at Hugh Boyd Park, the Richmond team not only defended its title but demonstrated what unity can achieve.

“This has been a special team,” said Richmond coach John Gattens.

“These guys have been committed and worked really hard.”

By finishing atop the league, Richmond has earned top seeding and a first-round bye into the upcoming Coastal Cup playdowns which will be decided May 5 and 6 at Minoru Park. Gattens is proud of that feat, but concerned there may be a letdown.

“We don’t have any games scheduled until April, so it may be difficult to keep momentum and our fitness,” he said.

“So we’re going to continue training this week and then once a week during spring break.

I’m also hoping to get some exhibition games.

Last year, we played the University of the Fraser Valley and University of B.C.”

Blues ice PaciďŹ c Coast championship Hockey’s MASH unit overcomes the odds to advance to provincial Midget finals

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Nothing has been typical about the 2011-12 season for the Richmond Blues.

So perhaps its no surprise that a team decimated by injuries will play for a provincial championship later this month in Kelowna.

The Blues secured their place in the B.C. Midget A1 tournament, March 17 to 22, by winning the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association playoff banner. They defeated Semiahmoo 4-2 in the title game last weekend. “It was a nice win for the kids,� says head coach Norm MacAulay,

Fusion hosting games at Boyd

who is rapidly running short of words to describe what his players have already achieved.

Hockey’s version of a MASH unit, the Blues have been forced to play much of the year shorthanded.

In fact since winning their own invitational tournament over the Christmas holidays,

they’ve had up to seven players missing from the lineup.

They were still short three missing in the PCAHA’s final-four playdowns.

Yet, through dogged determination and obvious talent, the Blues have been able to endure. “This is the smartest team we’ve ever

coached,� says MacAulay. “They know their jobs and where they’re supposed to be at both ends of the rink. Defensively, our skaters keep[ the puck to the outside and

let the goalies do the rest.�

Epitomizing the Blues is captain Mark Pearlman, who has scored 100 points and picked up 100 penalty minutes this season.

And goalies Chris Clute and Brodie Burdeny have been solid between the pipes.

Hockey memorial honouring Wong to support lupus society Richmond Devils hosting game April 1 at Minoru Arenas The Richmond Devils will pay tribute to a former coach, and at the same time support the fight against lupus, by hosting a special hockey game April 1.

The Senior A women’s hockey team, coached by Dav Szeto, will face off against the Richmond Ravens Midget AA team, coached by AJ Sander, in the second annual charity game in memory of Samantha Wong. The game will be played at 6:30 p.m. at Minoru Arenas.

Wong was a valued member of the Richmond Devils Hockey Club’s coaching staff, who lost her battle with lupus on Feb. 6, 2011. All funds

Badminton ace nets national bronze Richmond’s Willis Kwee and Vancouver’s Andy Wong teamed up to win bronze medals in men’s doubles at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association National Badminton Championships March 1-3 in Kamloops.

The Kwantlen Polytechnic University students began the tournament in impressive form on Day 1 of the championships, defeating the eventual gold medallists in three sets (15-21, 21-16, 2220).

Unfor tunately the round-robin play wasn’t indicative of the end result as the Eagles lost in straight sets (12-21, 1521) to the duo representing Douglas College.

In the playoff for bronze, the Eagles regained their composure and handily defeated the ACAC pair of Jonathan Chang and Jason Chou in two sets (21-15, 21-10) to take home the bronze in men’s doubles.

Reflecting on their result, fourth-year studentathlete Kwee said: “Even though we’re disappointed with our results, we’re glad to have a spot on the podium. We will continue to train hard to bring the championship banner back to Kwantlen next year.”

SAMANTHA WONG

raised at the game will be donated to the BC Lupus Society in her memory.

This includes the contribution of the referees’ fees and the proceeds from the 50/50 and raffle draws.

Wong was a longtime player and advocate for

female ice hockey. She played through the minor hockey system and eventually the Vancouver Griffins, a National Women’s Hockey League team.

She also assisted in developing female hockey in Hong Kong, where the sport is still relatively unknown. In addition, She was selected by VANOC for the 2010 Winter Olympics as the team host for the women’s China ice hockey team.

In September 2010, Wong’s evident passion for hockey led her to take on the role as one of the coaches for the Richmond Devils. Szeto, the Devils head coach, remembers her as “a key member of the coaching group and

instrumental in helping the team set the coaching direction and player selection in our inaugural year.

“Her professionalism and dedication to the team will be missed, but for each one of us at RDHC, we will always carry a piece of her in our hearts forever,” he said.

“She was a very positive influence to me and the team and the energy she put into the team will be carried through the players and we are all much better for that.”

Individuals interested in participating in this event can contact Pat Korenic, registrar, Richmond Devils Hockey Club at 604-275-1968.

New Residential Construction Guide Benefits Homeowners and Builders Homeowners have a new tool at their fingertipss to help them better understand how warranty providers evaluate claims for possible design, labour or material defects in new homes.

The Residential Construction Performance Guide is the newest online resource available on the provincial Homeowner Protection Office website at www.hpo.bc.ca. It explains how homes covered by home warranty insurance should perform.

Every new home built for sale by a licensed residential builder in B.C. is protected by mandatory third-party home warranty insurance.

It’s the strongest system of construction defect insurance in Canada.

“For most consumers, buying a new home is one of the largest financial investments they will make. So it’s essential that homebuyers can make that investment with confidence, knowing that they will not be faced with additional expenses to repair defects after they move in,” said Tony Gioventu, executive director of the Condominium Home Owners’ Association and an advocate for consumer protection.

This simple, practical guide is easy to use. It outlines more than 200 possible defects that are searchable online. This includes the most common defect claims that might be submitted under a home warranty insurance policy – from windows that malfunction, to driveway or interior concrete floors that have cracked, to siding that has buckled.

Designed primarily for conventional low-rise, wood-frame homes, the guide also provides some helpful guidelines for the common property of multi-unit buildings. Builders can also use the guide to help ensure that they deliver high performance homes.

5:15pm Wednesday, March 14th

Winners in 22 of the 26 games they’ve played this season, Richmond’s R.C. Palmer Griffins head into the Grade 8 boys’ provincial basketball championships at Pitt Meadows Secondary on Thursday hoping for more of the same.

The Griffins went 13-0 in their inaugural year of high school play, capped by winning the Richmond Bantam league playoff title and subsequently the Vancouver and District championship.

Under the guidance of head coach Rob Brown, Palmer was 10-0 in regular-season league play and won each game by an average of 16 points.

R.A. McMath Wildcats will also challenge for the provincial championship, having placed second in league play (8-2), the Richmond championships, and the Vancouver and District playdowns.

R.A. McMath Wildcats will also challenge for top honours in the Grade 8 girls’ division.

R.C. Palmer Griffins Grade 8 boys’ team (above) and R.A. McMath Wildcats’ Grade 8 girls’ team are representing Richmond at this weekend’s B.C. Bantam basketball championships in Pitt Meadows.

“The club records signify the fastest times ever achieved by swimmers in the club. The fact that we had 17 records broken in one weekend is amazing.”

Three Rapids (Evan Ryder, Tony Zeng and Leo

Hong) also achieved new national age-group standards, qualifying them to compete at the Canadian championships in Calgary this July.

Kevin Ye of the Rapids also garnered a berth in the Western Canadian championships.

The Rapids now head into the March break for some well-deserved rest, though Nicolaas Dekker will be away at Olympic trials the last weekend of March in Montreal.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our husband, father, grandfather, friend and Mason.

He passed away at the age of 71 at Delta Hospital in Ladner, to join his beloved parents, Elsie and Leonard, of Southampton, England. He leaves behind his wife, Lorna, son Mark and daughter, Karen, son-in-law Bruce Sabourin as well as his grandsons, Connor and Callum, who will all miss him greatly. His surviving sisters, Leanne and Mary, his niece Teresa and his nephews Stephen and Christopher, who all live in England, have fond memories of special times spent with their brother and uncle.

A Memorial Service is being held at South Arm United Church, 11051 No 3 Road, Richmond, BC on Tuesday, March 13th, at 1:30pm. Masonic brethren: Aprons, to be worn under jackets are welcome, with no collars or jewels.

On Feb. 27, Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Public Relations class of 2012 hosted a cocktail reception to benefit the Richmond Society for Community Living. The garden party themed reception was hosted by Global BCTV’s Mark Madryga and featured a silent auction and live musical entertainment.

Rick Duff (left), general manager of River Rock Casino Resort, presented a cheque for $3,000 to Pat Miller, executive director of the Richmond Hospice Association. Looking on are Chuck Keeling, executive director, stakeholder relations, and Peter Goudron (right), senior vice-president, western operations, Great Canadian Casinos.

Dancing with Richmond Stars held at The Grand Ballroom last weekend raised more than $20,000 for Richmond Hospice. Performers and judges included Wei Wang with Fannie Leung, Gilles Bettner with Kim Howell, Linda Reid, Casey White, Don Dixon, Laura Van Sprang with Andy Wong and Linda Chen with Alan Nixon.

Kudos is a weekly feature showcasing announcements, achievements and good deeds happening around town.
