Meet Richmond’s Foodie Blogger Lindsay Anderson begins culinary journey in Richmond today on behalf of Tourism Richmond by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Lindsay Anderson is preparing for a big meal—actually 365 of them. Tourism Richmond has named the 27-yearold Vancouver resident its Richmond Foodie Blogger as part of the organization’s 365 Days of Dining campaign. Anderson landed her “dream job” after a competition between 1,506 candidates who put their best fork forward. Anderson launched an online campaign from her blog (linds-eats. blogspot.ca) to help secure the year-long position. “I was pretty speechless. Everyone’s joked that I’m a happy talker, so for me to be speechless, that says something,” laughed Anderson in an interview Tuesday morning following the announcement. Born and raised in Prince George, Anderson has lived “all over the place,” but has called Vancouver home since last fall. Her interest in food, she said, is “just a part of me.” “My whole family is not really sure where it came from. I didn’t grow up in a big household that’s always around the table. We ate really good, healthy, nutritious meals growing up, but it wasn’t the centre of my family’s life.” Anderson has worked as a ﬁlm set caterer and served as head cook for 120 tree planters. She last worked at the Dirty Apron Cooking School in Vancouver, showcasing her talents as writer and photographer for the Dirty Apron Blog. She holds a bachelor’s degree in art history from University of Victoria, and last year completed a one-year master in food culture and communications program at University of Gastronomic Sciences in Italy. As Richmond Foodie Blogger, Anderson will chronicle her restaurant adventures online. She’ll earn a $50,000 salary and receive a meal

allowance and living expenses. Her first day on the job is today Wednesday, with her first restaurant blog post expected Thursday. Anderson said she’ll turn to locals to guide her restaurant journey, which will include everything from casual breakfasts and fancy lunches to fish and chips and night market eats. “Whenever I’m in a new place, I just ask people where your favourite place is to go, and I’ll start with that,” said Anderson, adding she’s looking forward to learning about Asian cuisine. “It’s definitely not my specialty. I’m much more familiar with Italian food or European food. This is going to be a huge learning opportunity for me. I love learning about food culture as much as the food itself.” Tourism Richmond is also giving Anderson a one-year membership to the Richmond Olympic Oval, where she’s planning to join exercise classes and flex her muscles on

About Lindsay Anderson •Travelled solo throughout southern Africa •Jumped from the highest bungy bridge •Eaten cheese made by hand in mountains of Crete •Stood on Kjeragbolten Rock in Norway •Lived in a tent for months while cooking in rural B.C. tree-planting camps •Catered for an indie movie on farmland with no running water or power •Helped plant crocus bulbs (for saffron) and harvest olives in Tuscany the climbing wall. “That’s a huge part of my strategic plan,” she said. “The more you exercise the bigger appetite you have, is how I look at it.” Michelle Dunn, director of communications for Tourism Richmond, said the contest winner

had to be pretty special to handle the year-long post and keep blog readers engaged. “(Anderson) does everything with a big smile on her face. She’s very positive and enthusiastic, bright, articulate, and she’s not afraid of anything.” Since Tourism Richmond is a destination marketing organization, the goal of the promotion is to convince travellers and visitors to want to spend time in Richmond—a city Dunn said unique due to its 800 restaurants, 400 of which are Asian eateries. “It’s a very unique job. As far as we can tell no one else has done this anywhere in the world,” said Dunn. “Ultimately we’d like to think that people will fall in love with Richmond like Richmond residents already have.” Kelly Brisson of Ottawa, Ont. and Melanie Hillier of Toronto, Ont. were two other ﬁnalists in the competition.

Council spends $4.6M surplus Accounting practices of community associations to be overhauled following loss of $200k by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter City council spent or otherwise squirrelled away $4,556,000 Monday—cash collected from taxpayers that went unspent last year. In a 7-2 vote, elected officials divvied up the 2011 surplus for 17 projects or reserve accounts, the largest amount, $1.3 million, being set aside for RCMP officers, who are in line for retroactive pay once a wage dispute concludes. Higher building permit revenues, vacancies in emergency services and a city hall directive last September to freeze discretionary spending contributed to the surplus, according to staff. Good weather, which reduced costs for snow removal and windstorm response, also had a positive impact. As part of surplus spending, council is budgeting $100,000 to hire a consultant to update accounting procedures of community associations, which run the city’s community centres. In January, The Richmond Review reported that police were investigating the disappearance of $200,000 from the South Arm Community Association. A city spokesperson said last fall financial irregularities were discovered involving the association’s funds, resulting in the termination of a city employee. The consultant will be tasked

with updating cash handling procedures of local associations, and will “develop ongoing monitoring and reconciliation processes to ensure appropriate financial checks and balances are in place,” according to a staff report. In City Centre, staff say an “unanticipated rate” of development has pushed the Lansdowne Road greenway project to the front burner. Council has budgeted $150,000 to design the greenway—a 10-metre-wide linear park envisioned in the City Centre area plan—to avoid “piecemeal” development. Council is also putting more cash toward community sustainability. Budgeted is $85,000 for a consultant to complete up to eight pre-design assessments for energy management projects. Richmond is committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2012, as a signatory to the B.C. Climate Action Charter. Council has also pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions Richmond-wide by one-third—from 2007 levels—by 2020. At Monday’s finance committee meeting, Coun. Evelina HalseyBrandt made a successful motion to hire a part-time temporary child care co-ordinator for $50,000. “We have five city-owned facilities that are under negotiation. Those need to be maximized to serve the community in the best way possible,” she said. Coun. Bill McNulty, who voted against the overall spending formula along with Coun. Ken Johnston, also made a motion—to earmark $3 million for city reserves. “I see no break in here for the taxpayer,” said McNulty. “I see nothing for reserves; I see nothing held back.” “OK. Where are you getting the money from?” replied Mayor Malcolm Brodie. McNulty suggested deleting nine items, but couldn’t find support at the table. Council is expected to ratify its decision June 11.

Breakdown of surplus spending •$1,289,053: RCMP retroactive pay •$975,188: Additional capital projects for 2013 •$500,000: Capital building and infrastructure reserve •$400,000: Richmond Fire-Rescue equipment/vehicle reserve •$275,000: Public works infrastructure replacement •$250,000: Consultant to assess contaminated sites, as per new Public Sector Accounting Board requirement •$150,000: Design for Lansdowne Road greenway project •$125,000: Major events fund •$100,000: Salmon Row 2013 play at Britannia Heritage Shipyard (half the cost of a 10-day run) •$100,000: Integrating donation of 46,000 Chinese language books into library system •$100,000: Consultant to update accounting procedures at community associations •$89,259: 9-month extension of lease for city offices on Hollybridge Way •$85,000: Consultant to complete 5 to 8 “pre-design assessments” for energy management projects •$67,500: Replacement of Richmond Fire-Rescue’s Mobile Community Safety Education Unit •$50,000: Part-time temporary child care co-ordinator (one year) •$30,000: Consultant to review and update 2008-2012 youth strategy •$20,000: Child care grants

Man gets ﬁve years in prison after 600,000 ecstasy tablets seized

A 32-year-old Richmond man who was convicted of possessing a schedule 3 drug for the purposes trafficking, has been sentenced to five years and five months in prison. William Liang appeared in Richmond provincial court late last month, where he was sentenced in relation to the discovery of more than $3 million worth of ecstasy tablets in a Centro highrise condo, at 7080 No. 3 Rd in June of 2010. Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said police were called in for assistance on what Richmond Fire-Rescue suspected might be

a clandestine drug lab nearly two years ago. Fire crews had been dispatched to a report of possible smoke coming from the condo, near Granville Road. Although there was no drug lab, more than 600,000 tablets of ecstasy were found inside the vacant condo. Following an exhaustive ﬁvemonth investigation, investigators were led to William Liang who they suspected was responsible for the storage of the tablets. Liang was arrested on Nov. 24, 2010 and made an appearance for sentencing late last month. “This seizure represents the removal of approximately $3.1 million worth of dangerous synthetic drugs from the Lower Mainland streets,” Turley said of the 628,666 tablets seized.

$80,000 Rolex nets man $9,600 fine An $80,000 Rolex watch could wind up costing a B.C. man 50 per cent more if he hopes to have it returned by Canada Border Services following a flight from Korea last summer. Chungyool Kim pled guilty to attempting to evade duties on the purchase of a $81,510 Rolex watch he’d purchased during a trip to Korea. According to Canada Border Services Agency, Kim returned to Canada from Korea via Vancouver International Airport on Aug. 5, 2011. He declared $200 worth of goods and said he was travelling alone. Upon closer examination, a border services agent discovered in his luggage a guarantee card relating to the purchase of a Rolex. Kim denied purchasing the Rolex for himself. But the officer then discovered his wife had been travelling with him, as had their daughter. Kim’s wife was located and as border services officers waited to examine her, she tried to conceal the watch in her coat, and pass it to her daughter. But the watch was discovered and seized. Kim pled guilty and was fined $9,600, an amount equal to the duties he would have normally paid. He will also have to pay a penalty of more than $30,000 for the return of the watch.

Development to displace Tim Hortons City council has approved a 660-unit apartment complex on Alderbridge Way despite objections from the owner of a Tim Hortons restaurant. Mike Rasberry told city council at a May 22 public hearing that Onni’s proposed four six-storey wood frame buildings should include commercial and retail space. The site of the project, 7731 and 7771 Alderbridge Way, is where the

doughnut eatery is located. Onni’s plans call for residential units only, leaving Tim Hortons without a location. City council granted Onni third reading for the project, but added a condition to fourth and ﬁnal reading—that any leases registered on title, including that of Tim Hortons, must be discharged ﬁrst.

Hamilton poised for growth Residents of Hamilton are expected to have their say later this month on how big their East Richmond community should grow. On Tuesday, city staff updated council’s planning committee on ﬁndings from a March 13 open house, held as part of the overhaul of the community’s area plan. Approximately 135 people attended that open house, along with representatives from Oris Consulting Ltd., a development ﬁrm driving the plan’s redesign. Hamilton is home to 4,825 people, a number that could almost quadruple if council elects for the highest density option for Hamilton’s future. At the next open house, expected to be held late June, residents will be presented with three options for growth, giving them between 7,212 to 12,696 neighbours.

Japanese history to get facelift The city is preparing to overhaul the exterior of a Steveston heritage building once known as the Japanese Nurses Residence. Council decided to relocate the building behind the Steveston Museum on Moncton Street three years ago from a site on Chatham Street. The structure was built in the 1890s or early 1900s. The $419,045 project includes a new cedar roof and a grey-and-ivory paint job. An original front porch will be restored, along with a set of double doors. Wheelchair access will also be added, along with a partially-enclosed connection to the museum.

here has been much outrage over the RCMP decision to ship a Mountie who abused his position as head of a polygraph unit in Edmonton to B.C. Don Ray exposed himself, had sex with subordinates, and kept a well-stocked liquor cabinet in his crime lab. His punishment for all of this was to be demoted to sergeant from staff-sergeant, lose 10 days pay and come to B.C. We’re not sure why he has been sent to B.C. From a public relations perspective, it was like spraying a wasp nest with insect repellent — in the middle of the day. When you do so, they will come swarming out in droves to go after the attacker. Even when a nest is sprayed at night, when wasps are inactive, a sting or two is inevitable. The B.C. public is extremely cynical about the RCMP (as an organization) right now. This is the result of a number of things. The most notable ones are the widespread perception that many men within the RCMP systematically harass female members and civilian workers; the Tasering death of a confused Polish man at the Vancouver Airport; the subsequent actions by one of the four RCMP members who Tasered him, in

leaving the scene of a fatal accident and fortifying himself with vodka; and the shooting of an unarmed prisoner at the Houston police detachment.

Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens, who has taken over as the top Mountie in B.C., says things will change — but this transfer tells people that things aren’t

changing. Coming on the heels of renewal of the RCMP contract in B.C. for a 20-year period, it’s too much for many. —Langley Times

Life Lessons Andrea Phillpotts

‘I

’m nervous to go in,” an old classmate confessed to me on the threshold to our 25 year high school reunion party.

Handsome and successful with a quarter century of adulthood since graduation, he was unsure about what it would be like to face the old friends and adversaries of yesteryear. I know what he felt like. While I was no longer the skinny, shy girl from high school, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to be there. Why would I voluntarily mingle with the ghosts from my past? In this room, in addition to old friends, were the bullies and mean girls of my adolescence. We nudged our way into the room. Within minutes, strangers who looked vaguely like people I used to know from high school surrounded us. Old friends and rivals alike embraced me with a “you look EXACTLY the same.” I wasn’t sure how I felt about this. Was it a compliment to my youthfulness or a subtle reinforcement that over 25 years of experience, I was still the same quiet, frizzy haired girl? I took it as a

compliment and moved on. After half an hour had passed, I started enjoying myself. A lot. Time is the great equalizer. No longer teens with hours to tease their hair into Flock of Seagulls hairdos, many of the guys were just lucky to have hair. Most of the women, like myself, had produced a few kids and now wore mature fashions instead of the bubble skirts, blue eyeliner, and acid wash miniskirts of our heyday. A lot of us were curvier and we all were more weathered and crinkled. But while time had eroded the outside of our persons, experience had made us richer on the inside. At our 15 year reunion, there was still a sense of competition in the air: who had made it the biggest, who drove the best car, who was the best looking. At this anniversary, we’d mellowed out, become nicer and more reﬂective.

After 25 years of adulthood, you know who you are. You know what you like to do, who you love, what is important to you. After all this time, our group had felt love, had lived in long term relationships, had found careers that gave satisfaction and sustenance, and had gone through the humbling experience of having children in our lives. We no longer worried about the pettiness of what others thought about us. We knew who we were and if someone didn’t like us, too bad for them. What was better was the intimate compliments shared: “Did you know I had a crush on you in grade 10?”, “I always thought you were the nicest person”, “My greatest regret was not asking you out.” Our lives were set now; past bitterness was put aside and we delighted in the funny memories of the past. We snickered at our old haircuts, remem-

bered old teachers, and secretly were relieved that we’d left those uncertain years behind us. And we were thankful to be there. There were three deceased grads from our grad year. There were those who had lost spouses, survived life threatening accidents, overcome serious hardship. We were also the survivors of our graduation year. We had made it through another rite of passage in the dance of life… and we were ready to break dance to it. At the end of the evening, I saw my old friend again. He had a smile on his face and an arm on the shoulder of one of his lifelong buddies. I’m sure I’ll see him again at the 30th anniversary. Andrea Phillpotts is a Richmond writer and teacher.

Pre-K to Grade 12 Grammar

Librarian’s love of her job is an inspiration Editor: I am writing to tell people about an amazing librarian, Melanie Au, who works in the Kid’s Place at Richmond Public Library’s Brighouse branch. I entered the library on a beautiful sunny day feeling somewhat negative about having to do some planning for the class I teach. I am happy to say, I left genuinely impressed and excited about what I learned and would be teaching on Monday. While waiting at the children’s desk I listened to the Melanie offer advice to a boy “looking for a fantasy book that is not too kiddy.” I became intrigued as I watched her take him through several sections and describe various books on related topics. She was obviously very knowledgeable and thorough. But she also did this efficiently because I did not have

to wait long. I asked her a simple question about a book I could not find. I was looking for fractured fairy tales. It was truly impressive how this young woman helped me. The amount of information she had off the top of her head on the subject of fractured fairy tales was remarkable. She guided me through the library expertly pulling out a variety of books on the topic. She also brought other types of useful books to my attention. As I was looking through some things she headed back to the counter to help some another person. She told me she would find a few more things for me and I assumed she would probably forget about me. But sure enough, about five minutes later, she found me and had even more suggestions for my lesson. This librarian went above and

beyond what I have ever experienced in Richmond Public Library and I have dealt with plenty of librarians over the years as a student and teacher. She even used the Internet to look up some older books that were no longer carried by the Brighouse library and wrote down the names of “prolific” authors for me. She showed great passion for the literature she discussed and made me look forward to my class on Monday. I am confident this excitement will also trickle down to my students. It was genuinely inspiring to see such a knowledgeable and helpful librarian and it reminded me why I love literature and became a teacher. This librarian deserves to be acknowledged for her helpfulness and knowledge of literature. Sonja Bone Richmond

I very much appreciate the bees Hamir has in her bonnet. She is one of the best observers we have in our city. She often calls us back to the basics. Thank you Arzeena for initiating the petition

that contained 1,000 names to oppose genetically engineered foods and presented this to city council. According to Dr. Anderson who teaches at UBC and has a practice in White Rock, GMO is the cause of many of our diseases. These are some of the issues that help put Richmond on the map!

Betty Jean McHugh at 84: The world’s fastest senior distance runner

A Runner’s Mind Christine Blanchette

To 84-year-old North Vancouverite Betty Jean McHugh, ‘BJ’ was the nickname bestowed on her at nursing school when everyone in nursing had a nickname. She still goes by BJ to her friends and running acquaintances but since setting 30 world records as a senior long distance runner, she’s gotten used

to seeing her full name in the record books. McHugh, who only started running in her early 50s – long after retiring as a registered nurse—looked race ready over coffee this week as we sat down to discuss her athletic passion and her inspiration to others. Her assault of every common stereotype held

by the masses regarding how older ladies are expected to behave is merely a byproduct of her positive attitude towards life. Easily able to pass for 60, Hughes was resplendent in her athletic gear, happy, ﬁt, with a contagious laugh—a perfect example of someone who has turned back the clock and hasn’t looked back since her running start. She is regarded as the world’s fastest women’s senior distance runner today. She never expected her passion for running would take her to setting world records in her age group to eventually taking her fast feet to Rome as a sponsored athlete to compete in the 2009 marathon. It was

her time of 4:49:42 in the 80-84 age group at the 2008 Honolulu marathon that caught the attention of race director Massimiliano Monteforte to invite her to compete in the Rome marathon as an elite athlete. In 1979 she ran her first road race—the 9.5 km James Cunningham Seawall Race—and finished in 43:52 at age 51. In her book, My Road to Rome, written with Bob Nixon, McHugh remembers fondly where it all began for her. “I owe (Cunningham) for the race named in his honor.” She has run over 300 races since then. Like a fine wine McHugh’s times improved despite her advancing years. “As I got

older my speeds slowed only marginally, and by the time I was sixty years old I often ran faster in races than I had in my early 50s,” she explained. Due to space limitations, we can’t list every record she owns but all of them may be viewed on her web site: myroad toromethebook.com. One notable must be mentioned here, such as 1993 when she broke the Canadian 65-plus record at the Big Sur (California) Marathon in 3 hours and 51 minutes. She says “Running for me has become as much a part of my life as brushing my teeth. For me, there is no alternative. I simply love to run. I cannot imagine a day when I give it up…..” McHugh

plans to run when she is one hundred. McHugh has helped pave the way for many women at a time when running was considered unsafe for the fairer sex. She expects her records to be broken down the road because more women are running now. She is old school when it comes to training. “I have never worn a heart rate monitor. I run how I feel. I do wear a watch to record the time—no splits or intervals and no special drink or gels because it upsets my stomach,” McHugh said. With that in mind, I asked her what she thinks about while running and she laughs, “Food, ice cream. It is my comfort food.” She runs regularly every morning with a group of friends and cross trains at the gym by lifting weights and doing yoga. She’s married to Bob with four children and a grandmother of four. No question, McHugh is a role model for many to take up running no matter what age, and to live life to the fullest. Her book is inspirational and includes some great history facts on the running boom and what it means for women. Christine Blanchette is a Richmond runner and writer.

Leveraging home’s equity can help solve credit crunch Many financial vehicles available to help retirees through golden years by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

ouse rich and cash poor is a term that describes many Richmond residents.

As the values of most homes have more than doubled—and commonly tripled—in the last decade, income hasn’t followed suit. And that’s put some seniors who are relying on retirement income feeling the financial pinch, thanks in part to continually increasing property taxes that have saddled homeowners with more than $3,000 in additional annual living costs, and some cases much more. In many instances, people are relying on credit cards to make it by. Richmond realtor Lynda Terborg said considering today’s low-interest rate environment,

the thought that some people are still paying credit card company interest rates nearing 20 per cent is bewildering. “It is absolutely shocking,” Terborg said. So what’s a homeowner to do? Terborg suggests reaching out to experts in the financial field to find solutions. While she’s no financial expert, Terborg said seniors need to get as much advice as possible about all of their alternatives to deal with the debts, in order to make an informed decision that’s best suited to their unique situation. The key is to talk to the experts, and to avoid the temptation—or pressure in some cases—to make a decision quickly. One alternative that’s commonly considered by seniors is the reverse mortgage. While this may be a viable alternative for some, Terborg cautions that homeowners need to be explained all of their options beyond reverse mortgages by financial advisors and those in the lending field.

Whether it’s a mortgage broker, or an expert from a bank, or a financial advisor, seniors need to sit down with those in the know, and be explained what makes one option better than others. For seniors wishing to remain at home, but can’t afford to pay for the necessary renovations, banks can offer loans at low interest rates. This can provide immediate cash for installing chair lifts, ramps, updating bathrooms and renovating basements to allow for one-level living, among other things. One of the challenges with reverse mortgages, Terborg said, is that the amount owing can grow at a much quicker clip than a family anticipates, compared to the amount borrowed. That’s why she doesn’t believe reverse mortgages are inherently the best. But there are a variety of creative solutions to each financial problem out there, Terborg said. “It’s a quality of life issue. It is an expensive world to live in.”

sports Torch run supports Special Olympics Each year, law enforcement personnel including members of the RCMP and Canada Border Services Agency join forces in an annual torch run for Special Olympics B.C. Par ticipants will complete a run of three to five kilometres and then join Special Olympic athletes and community members for fun and festivities. The Richmond run is scheduled to begin at noon at Cornerstone Christian Academy (7890 No. 5 Rd.) and will end at the new Richmond RCMP detachment building (11411 No. 5 Rd.).

Little Links coming to Country Meadows Applications being accepted for kids’ summer golf camp until July 2 by Don Fennell Sports Editor The Little Links Summer Golf Camp is about to tee off. Intended to introduce the game of golf to Richmond elementary school-aged children who’ll be entering grades 4, 5 and 6 in September, the free program is the brainchild of the Country Meadows Senior Men’s Golf Club. “We feel it’s important to be introducing youngsters to the game,” said club member Graham Boyle. “And since 98 per cent of us are retired and have the time to devote to this, we’d like to do this on an annual basis if we can.” While the emphasis is on fun, there will be an opportunity to learn at least the basics of the game, Boyle said. Thus, participants will require no previous golf

experience. However, space is limited and those interested in participating in the program (presented by the Country Meadows Senior Men’s Golf Club and sponsored by The Richmond Review, Savage Creek Golf Course and Driving Range and Sysco foods) need to apply by 5 p.m. Monday, July 2 by e-mailing grahamboyle@shaw.ca. Call 604277-7400 for more information. Participants will be divided into groups of 30, with all equipment (including golf balls), lunch and prizes provided. Camps will be held each Tuesday from July 24 through Aug. 14 at Savage Creek Golf Course and Driving Range, 7388 No. 6 Rd. Registration will be at 10:30 a.m. each day, with putting and range time from 11 a.m. to noon, followed by lunch and prizes.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about having fun, building confidence, and learning a few lessons in life,â&#x20AC;? says the skipper of Richmond City Baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Midget AA club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And by that measure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve (already) had an incredibly successful season.â&#x20AC;? The 15- to 17-yearolds are playing whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;house levelâ&#x20AC;? ball. They are the 18 players who were who werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t selected for the AAA all-star team, but have found success together. Although it makes for a large roster, Watanabe says there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough players to make up two teams and keeps with the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philosophy that every kid who wants to play baseball should be given the opportunity. The Rangers reflect a spectrum of talent and experience. Some players have been playing the game much of their lives and have played on Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AAA teams in previous years, while others have very limited experience, including four who had never played baseball before this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With this broad mix of talent, my goals this season have been to

Stevens said, noting that everything is made fresh-to-order. Jumbo Sushi, 6648 No. 3 Road, at Times Square across from Richmond Centre, has a special 20-piece sushi deal for a California roll, cucumber roll, half a tuna roll, and half salmon roll, all for $6.75.

Watanabe and his coaching staff further stimulate this attitude by giving the Rangers a wide variety of experiences, including playing many different positions on the field. At times, he says, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meant sacrificing the

best possible defence and possibly some scoring but in the long run has helped build confidenceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;particularly among the first-year players. â&#x20AC;˘For more photos, see our slideshow at richmondreview.com.

Fyffe counts four medals

Kendoka stand tall From beginners to black belts, Steveston Kendo Club athletes continue to be models of consistency. In the last two months many have earned multiple awards, with the juniors sweeping the beginners’ division at the B.C. Junior Kendo Tournament last weekend as Gene Tze placed first, Kaito Cheung second and Nathaniel Estrada and Sarah Rotenberg finishing third. The junior team claimed second place after narrowly losing a hard-fought match to the kids from Victoria. Team members were

Jennifer Matsushita, Kenta Muramatsu, Jasmine Chao, Chris Lam and Jacob Tubajon. Muramatsu completed the awards by receiving the ﬁghting spirit award. In earlier competition, Ryan Murao (1-2 degree black belt) and Wendy Robillard (senior ladies’ open) gained ﬁrst-place honours at the University of Washington’s senior tournament in mid-April. Robillard also placed third in the fourth-degree black belt division. Two weeks later, at the Vancouver Open, Murao dominated his 16- to 20-year-olds di-

vision to again ﬁnish ﬁrst. Other award winners at the University of Washington included Darren Lin, third in the 16- to 18-year-olds division; and David Yao, Sean O’Sullivan, Murao, Philip Nishikihama and Ray Murao joining forces to place third in the team category. Additional medalists at the Vancouver Open were: Roger Knecht, third in the 41-plus division and Jennifer Matsushita, Kenta Muramatsu, Jasmine Chao and Brandon Kato which placed third in the junior team event.

Kajak shines at provincial high school track and field championships by Don Fennell Sports Editor

A pair of Richmond Kajaks athletes stood tall at the 2012 B.C. High School Track and Field Championships held last weekend at Swangard Stadium. Nick Fyffe, competing as a member of the Vancouver College Fighting Irish, collected four medals including gold in the men’s triple jump with a winning distance of 15.10 metres.

He was second in the long jump (6.55 metres) and third in both the men’s javelin throw (53.56 metres) and decathlon (6253 points). Competing for Little Flower Academy Angels, Asianna Covington earned a pair medals, gold for winning the women’s hammer throw (54.80 metres) and silver for a second-place ﬁnish in the shot put (11.28 metres).

Crosley arrived in Richmond from the Chilliwack SPCA via the Drive for Lives Program. He originally came to the Williams Lake SPCA as a stray. He is a big 2 year old who enjoys relaxing.

> Slugfest at Richmond Nature Park

Friendly slugs

ometimes the best friends are the slimiest.

At least, that was the case for many of the kids who attended Slugfest at the Richmond Nature Park on May 27. Around 250 people came out to enjoy games, face painting and other slug-related activities. “This is kind of like our kickoff to summer here,” said Around Town Kris Bauder, Amanda Oye the Richmond Nature Park coordinator. “It’s a nice way to come and see the park,” she said. Kids were all invited to bring out their own slugs, which they registered and weighed in for contests and races. There were prizes for the largest, smallest, slimiest and prettiest slugs and for the winners of two races- one for small slugs and one for big slugs. “Everything culminates with the race,” said Bauder. Along with being a fun family event, Slugfest was an educational opportunity. “We want to teach people about the environment,” said Bauder. “For most people slugs are kind of a mysterious thing in the garden that they don’t really like,” she said. Children learned at Slugfest that they don’t have to be afraid of slugs. “It’s a living thing, it has a role in the environment and there is value to that,” Bauder said. Amanda Oye covers the social scene. amanda.oye@telus.net.
