Smuggler breached airport security

48 PAGES

Ex-Air Canada baggage handler accessed restricted areas while off duty

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter The former Air Canada baggage handler who tried to smuggle 50 kilograms of cocaine through Vancouver International Airport, breached airport security seven times before being caught in December of 2007.

But there’s no indication that Steven Von Holtum was ever questioned about those earlier incidents, which Crown counsel Charles Hough argued were times where Von Holtum may have successfully smuggled other drugs into the country.

Two security experts called the incidents “serious breaches.”

Ironically, his unauthorized access to the customs hall was recorded by a new technology introduced the same year Von Holtum was caught, and designed to sound alarm bells.

Billed in January of 2007 by the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority as “the world’s first dual biometric airport identification program for non-passengers acccessing restricted areas of the airport,” the RAIC (Restricted Area Identity Card) program was designed to detect and record the comings and goings of airport personnel, including whenever they enter restricted zones.

Hough told The Richmond Review fragments of data he obtained from the airport authority indicate that on at least 20 days in 2007, Von Holtum was at the airport while off duty, and used his access card to cross security lines. On an additional eight days, cell phone records indicate he was at the airport while not working.

And the access card data indicates he was in the customs hall of the Vancouver International Airport on seven different days, six of those while he was off duty, Hough said.

Hough said senior management testified that baggage handlers are not permitted into the customs hall except on the rare occasion when they’ve received specific orders, and that violating this rule was deemed a “serious employee misconduct.”

The Agricultural Land Commission wants public comment on various new or increased fees it may impose to generate more revenue to finance its operations.

Under consideration are increases to existing fees for Agricultural Land Reserve exclusions, as well as subdivisions, nonfarm use and utility corridor applications.

Those fees haven’t been raised since 2002.

The ALC is also considering new service fees to ensure completion of conditionally approved applications and for ongoing

monitoring and site inspections of longterm approvals.

B.C.’s agriculture minister last year agreed to enable new fees to strengthen the ALC after an audit found chronic underfunding had left the commission unable to prosecute many violators for degrading farmland because of court costs.

Comments are being accepted until July 8 at http://www.agf.gov.bc.ca/aboutind/ ALC_Consultation/index.htm Much of East Richmond is in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

Weather cancels tall ship’s Steveston appearance Kaisei backs out, but Hawaiin Chieftain still on course

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Uncertain weather has forced the largest tall ship on course for Steveston’s Ships to Shore festival to cancel.

The two-masted Kaisei was scheduled to arrive for the June 29 opening of the three-day festival at Imperial Landing, but the city announced late last week that predictions of bad weather during a scheduled 10-day sail forced the operators to back out. “It’s disappointing,� said city spokesperson Ted Townsend. “They had quite a long journey to get here and the weather forecast was such that they weren’t going to be able to guarantee they’d be here by the end of the weekend.�

The Hawaiian Chieftain (centre) is the signature vessel coming to Steveston’s Ships to Shore festival.

The 46-metre (151-feet) Kaisei has served as the iconic vessel behind research expeditions of Project Kaisei, a group that formed in 2008 to stem the flow of plastic and marine debris into the Pacific Ocean.

Carlotta, a Vancouver Island pilot cutter built in 1899, has also backed out of the event. A delay in the arrival of a new engine is being

blamed on its cancellation.

Nonetheless, there will be lots for people to see and do, said Townsend. Hawaiian Chieftain and HMCS Oriole tall ships are still on course for Ships to Shore, which will offer free viewing and boarding of seven historic vessels. Other ships include the schooner Mallory Todd—which Townsend said

is classed as a tall ship—and the steam tug SS Master with its distinctive whistle.

Townsend also noted the event coincides with the Steveston Salmon Festival on July 1, and historic sites Britannia Heritage Shipyard and Gulf of Georgia Cannery will also be open on the weekend. “We’ve got a great event,� said Townsend. “Steveston is the place to be on Canada Day weekend.�

Hawaiian Chieftain was built in Hawaii in 1988. The steel-hulled ship is a replica of a typical European merchant trader of the turn of the 19th century. Based in Aberdeen, Wash., the vessel has an overall length of 31.4 metres (103 feet) and has a mast height of 22.9 metres (75 feet).

Other ships scheduled to appear at Ships to Shore: schooner Grail Dancer, gillnetter Silver Ann and the replica Spanish longboat Juanita.

Parking in Steveston is limited and some road closures will be in place on Canada Day morning due to the Salmon Festival parade. Festival goers are encouraged to take transit, cycle or walk to avoid traffic and parking congestion.

Richmond signs off on 20-year RCMP deal despite concerns Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie says council caught in ‘very difficult position’

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Caught between an unstoppable need for policing, and an immovable deadline for signing, Richmond city council opted to execute the proposed RCMP contract, but not before stating its objections and turning its trust to the province. “Richmond city council is caught in a very difďŹ cult position,â€? Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said in a press release. “There is the looming deadline and notice of signiďŹ cant ďŹ nancial penalties if the agreement remains unsigned. However, there remain many important unanswered questions about related costs if the contract is signed. Unfortunately, there is little chance for effective civic input over the 20-year contractual term. This is a

contract of signiďŹ cant importances as Richmond’s RCMP policing budget represents the city’s largest single operational cost.â€?

According to Brodie, he met with B.C.’s justice minister and attorney general earlier this month, and indicated that he would be signing on the understanding that several speciďŹ c items will be addressed by the province.

These concerns include: • limiting the city’s ďŹ nancial liability in regards to the RCMP’s new Green Timbers headquarters, as well as retroactive pay increases and severance entitlements; • deďŹ ning the costs of the Lower Mainland integrated teams; • committing to a process for resolving future disputes in a manner that assures meaningful municipal input.

Brodie clariďŹ ed that the city isn’t worried about the RCMP’s effectiveness, but rather its “overall administration.â€?

Plans calling for a study to consider other models for policing, including both regional and sub-regional policing and a separate municipal force, have already been announced by other Metro Vancouver municipalities, and Richmond plans to join in, Brodie said.

New software tool to help residents on garbage and recycling days A new software is available that can give busy Richmond residents custom reminders about garbage and recycling collection.

The ReCollect program is a new software tool that will aid those who have too many items on their schedules to remember their garbage and recycling collection days.

Via email, text message, Twitter, or a phone call, Richmond residents can customize how they want to be reminded of those days, as well as the times and days of the reminders. “The City of Richmond is always looking for new and inno-

vative ways to serve our citizens on a daily basis,� Mayor Malcolm Brodie says. “Using the ReCollect program to receive customized garbage and recycling reminders is simple and easy—you can get the information you want, when and how you want it.�

Other messages include notes regarding service change or property tax due dates.

To sign up, visit www.richmond. ca/recycle.

ReCollect is the ďŹ rst web-based software program released by the city. More Richmond speciďŹ c programs and apps are coming in the near future, the city said.

TransLink may hike park-and-ride rates Possible end to free parking lots for transit users

by Jeff Nagel Black Press TransLink may make commuters pay to use many of its free parkand-rides and may raise rates at other paid parking lots at rapid transit stations in response to overcrowding.

The strategy is to spur more drivers who can catch a bus from close to their home to do so rather than driving to a park-and-ride, where they board SkyTrain, an express bus or the West Coast Express.

Detractors worry the plan will backfire and push too many of those motorists to ditch transit and drive all the way to work instead.

TransLink corporate communications manager Jason Martin gave no details on which lots might see fees imposed or raised, adding a study is still underway and TransLink’s board of directors will vote on any final plan.

“Pricing is certainly one way to help manage demand,” he said.

“We want to encourage people on the frequent transit network or areas that are well-served to use transit to get to SkyTrain.”

Park-and-rides offer convenience for motorists who don’t want to wait

for a bus near their home to get to a transit hub before transferring to an express bus or rapid transit, Martin said, but added that convenience may come at a price.

“A nominal fee at park-and-ride still represents savings for somebody who might otherwise still be driving downtown to pay for a parking spot.”

The parking congestion problem partly reflects rising transit ridership – more commuters than TransLink expected are using the South Surrey park-and-ride to catch a bus to the Canada Line at Bridgeport.

The South Surrey lot is one of 10 free ones across the region and it routinely overflows despite being recently expanded to 481 stalls.

TransLink has said it will begin towing cars illegally parked there June 25.

“It’s pretty chaotic,” said Fraser Institute economist Joel Wood, who commutes using the lot and said TransLink is right to reassess the region’s park-and-ride fees to reduce congestion.

“The obvious solution to replacing the kind of first-come, firstserved approach we have now to allocating stalls is to charge for them,” Wood said.

“If you put a price in, you’ll want to set the price so the parking lot fills up but there’s no longer cars overflowing.”

Other free park-and-rides include lots in Ladner, Tsawwassen, Walnut Grove in Langley, Sexsmith in Richmond; Phibbs exchange, Park

Royal mall, Westmount and Gleneagles on the North Shore.

Some pay lots already charge hefty fees. An Impark-run lot at King George station in Surrey costs $6 to park for the day, prompting many motorists heading there to park for free a couple blocks away along Fraser Highway instead.

Others are much cheaper—the public parkade at Bridgeport Station, operated by the casino there in partnership with TransLink, charges Canada Line users $2.50 a day, while the Scott Road SkyTrain station park-and-ride charges $3.

Wood said TransLink needs to guard against unintended impacts, like commuters parking on nearby residential streets to save money.

The move will also bring inequities, especially where some motorists heading to a transit hub have less ability to take transit without driving than others.

Many commuters criticized the planned higher fees online, saying they will defeat the purpose of park-and-rides and discourage transit use.

Twitter user @BuckyHermit called TransLink planners “clueless” for thinking fees will encourage people to take a bus to stations.

“Um. If they had a choice, they would!”

TransLink says the capital cost of building park-and-rides ranges from $3,000 to $16,000 per space, while the operating costs are $200 to $800 per year.

Ad blitz heralds new Port Mann Bridge Minister defends $400,000 to promote span

The provincial government is spending $400,000 on an advertising campaign to promote the new Port Mann Bridge.

The spending comes despite repeated assurances from the province that the $3.3-billion Port Mann/Highway 1 project will be fully paid for through tolls and that there is no risk large numbers of motorists will divert to untolled crossings to avoid having to pay.

“I think it is money very well spent,” Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom said Monday

of the ad blitz, which emphasizes the time savings for users.

“We think it’s very important that the public is aware of the opening of the Port Mann Bridge, what to expect when it opens, when it will open – that kind of thing.”

Ministry planners have projected any diversion of toll-averse drivers to free crossings will be largely offset by an influx of motorists who currently avoid the Port Mann because of congestion and are willing to pay the minimum $3 tolls for a faster trip over the new 10-lane span.

Lekstrom said the province is in the final stages of putting the tolling infrastructure in place, adding more information will be coming on that in the next couple of months, in advance of the bridge opening with an initial

eight lanes this December.

The ministry has yet to reveal exactly what signs will be used and where they will be placed alerting drivers to the recommended untolled route via the Pattullo Bridge and the northeast stretch of the South Fraser Perimeter Road. Westbound drivers will have to exit Highway 1 at 176 in order to take the SFPR to the Pattullo.

TransLink’s Golden Ears Bridge hasn’t generated as much paying traffic as initially expected, but officials expect that to improve once the Port Mann no longer offers a free alternative.

NDP transportation critic Harry Bains called the advertising campaign a waste of money.

“The bridge is being built, it’s been adver-

tised all along,” he said.

“How many photo ops have they had?”

Bains said the ministry should instead be working to deliver the promised express bus service over the Port Mann Bridge – currently on hold due to the denial of higher taxes and fares for TransLink.

He said he has serious doubts about the transpor tation ministry’s prediction of what will happen when the new bridge opens and tolls are charged for the first time on Highway 1 in the Lower Mainland.

“It’s going to be chaos in Whalley, the Guildford area and North Delta area,” Bains said, predicting drivers clog 104 and 108 avenues in Surrey to get to the Pattullo or Alex Fraser bridges.

“The Pattullo is going to be jam-packed. It’s going to be even more dangerous.”

William Bridge School’s courtyard underwent a renovation that saw the Coast Capital youth team invest some sweat equity into the outdoor space.

Bridge students get spot to unwind Volunteers renovate courtyard

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter William Bridge Elementary students now have a place to read a book or just unwind courtesy Coast Capital’s youth team.

The school’s courtyard under-

went a renovation that saw the team invest some sweat equity into the outdoor space.

Armed with a $750 budget, the Grade 12 students—Tina Lopez, Vanessa Lau, Justin Uyeno, Connie Ho, Daniel Wang and Elaine Ho—renovated the school’s garden, bringing life to the space by adding flowers, a colourful umbrella, a bench and tiles painted by students at the school.

“It took a lot of time and effort to get done, because we did much of the work ourselves, but we enjoyed every minute of it, especially work-

ing with the students to paint and install the tiles,” said Lau. Bridge elementary principal Patrick von Hahn said he was impressed by the dedication and commitment displayed by the young gardeners and landscapers.

“By creating this beautiful garden for their project, the Coast Capital Richmond Youth Team has left a wonderful imprint on our school that will be enjoyed by current and future students for many years,” von Hahn said. “It’s great for the students, for the staff, and for the environment.”

‘That’s how planes get blown up’ From Page 1 “That’s how planes get blown up,” Hough said.

Von Holtum was convicted by a B.C. Supreme Court jury in November 2011 of importing a controlled substance.

He was finally sentenced on Friday to 10 years in prison by B.C. Supreme Court Madam Justice Miriam Gropper, who also banned him from possessing firearms for 10 years, and ordered him to submit a sample of his DNA to the federal registry.

Von Holtum had no previous criminal record, and the Crown requested an 18-year sentence, while defence counsel Ian Donaldson made written submissions that a sevenyear sentence was appropriate, although he orally asked the court to hand Von Holtum house arrest.

According to Hough, Von Holtum wasn’t scheduled to work in the early morning hours of Dec. 23, 2007, when he “volunteered” to help offload a charter flight from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

After that, he entered the customs hall, where he’s observed to be pushing a trolly with four unclaimed suitcases toward an area that handles fragile luggage.

At this point, he was confronted by an Air Canada worker, who told him he can’t push those suitcases to that area, and referred him to customs.

He’s also spotted pulling off the identification tags from the suitcases, which were later retrieved from the garbage, Hough said.

It was later learned that the suitcases contained 50 one-kilogram bricks of high quality cocaine, with a purity of between 89 and 95 per cent, and worth about $1.2 million.

“Given that 18,000 employees at YVR have RAIC cards, monitoring the access to restricted areas is a joint effort between the Airport Authority, all security partners and tenants.”

- Alana Lawrence

A drug expert testified at trail that couriers carrying this quantity of cocaine would be paid up to $100,000.

The day after the cocaine was discovered, Von Holtum was interviewed by senior management, and he claimed he was at the airport looking for someone with whom he could trade work shifts.

Von Holtum was indefinitely suspended without pay, and later fired.

Hough said the suitcases were loaded onto the plane in Mexico even though there were no passengers linked to them, adding this was “quite a sophisticated scheme.”

University of BC associate professor Garland Chow, an expert in transportation security, said that Von Holtum’s repeated unauthorized access to the airport’s customs hall was “alarming, very much.”

Chow said he “would be disappointed” if Von Holtum’s breaches “didn’t result in multiple responses” in terms of changing airport protocols and follow-up investigations.

While the security access cards collect large quantities of information, software needs to be in place to raise alarm bells

when staff access restricted areas, including on days when they aren’t supposed to be working.

Whenever a truck accesses Port Metro Vancouver, similar security technology is used to verify if a truck is supposed to be there, the cargo that is supposed to be in it, and the person who is supposed to be driving the vehicle.

Simon Fraser University professor Andre Gerolymatos said Von Holtum’s repeated unauthorized access to the customs hall are “very serious breaches,” but said if this didn’t spawn a follow-up investigation and changes, “that would be more serious.”

Meanwhile the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority and Vancouver International Airport Authority were pointing fingers at one another.

While the air security authority unveiled the access cards, spokesperson Suzanne Perseo said the “sole responsibility of access control” belongs to the airport authority.

But Alana Lawrence said: “When the airport authority becomes aware that an employee with a Restricted Area Identity Card (RAIC) is in a restricted area while not in the course of their duties we will ticket them. Transport Canada may investigate further and fine them. Given that 18,000 employees at YVR have RAIC cards, monitoring the access to restricted areas is a joint effort between the Airport Authority, all security partners and tenants.”

Lawrence referred further questions to the RCMP. The RCMP’s federal drug squad was unavailable for comment by press time Tuesday afternoon.

www.richmondbcrealty.com

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter It’s been six weeks since Sean Nolan’s white landscaping trailer was stolen, emptied and then dumped at a dead-end street not far from his Steveston home.

But he still wonders whether someone in the community has unwittingly taken ownership of some of his equipment, courtesy a too-good-tobe-true deal that actually involved stolen merchandise.

It was sometime between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. on Saturday, May 12 when two or three thieves gathered at the front of Nolan’s home.

Parked there was a white four-footby-eight-foot custom trailer with green trim, securely hooked up to Nolan’s Ford F-250 pick up truck.

The next morning, Nolan discovered that the trailer was gone, the back of his Ford’s tailgate gouged out.

“It was super brazen,” Nolan said of the theft.

“I’m so shocked that somebody would do that.”

Nolan is convinced the people behind the theft did their homework.

“They know me, and there’s a chance I know them.”

Stolen were the pieces of equipment he makes a livelihood from, included a green Ryan aerator, a green Ryan power raker, which cost him more than $1,000 each.

“They knew what I had in there, they knew how I locked them up.”

Nolan said the weight of the trailer means it would have taken at least two people, and likely three, to unhitch the trailer and pivot it so that it could be hooked up by another vehicle.

And the people would have had to have local knowledge, considering his trailer was recovered by police at a dead-end street that backs onto the Steveston baseball diamonds on Moncton Street.

Nolan has contacted the police, but so far, there’s no word on a recovery.

In the meantime, he’s called pawn shops in the Lower Mainland, to no avail.

Nolan suspects the thieves might have been trying to set up their own business, considering his ear protection, hand tools and jerry cans were also taken.

“If they didn’t have a buyer in place, they are probably setting up their own business,” he said.

One of the pieces of equipment has sentimental value for Nolan, a California trimmer that was given to him by the family of someone who was dying in hospital of cancer.

While he was insured, the fact he hadn’t updated his insurance policy means the newer equipment he purchased more recently wasn’t covered.

Anyone with information about the stolen equipment is asked to call the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 and reference file number 12-13333.

Gateway Cocktail pARTy supports performing arts in Richmond

by Don Fennell Staff Reporter Fans of the performing arts paid $350 per couple to attend the second annual Gateway Cocktail pARTy fundraiser Thursday at Gateway Theatre.

The all-inclusive evening allowed patrons to mingle with other supporters of the arts, sample a variety of tapas-style cuisine and desserts, and go home

with one of the more than 100 pieces of original artwork donated by local artists. Each work of art was appraised between $300 and $2,000, said Richmond Review ad manager Elana Gold,the production chair for the evening and a board member.

By having her ticket drawn ďŹ rst, Katherine Lecy had her choice of the artwork. She selected a piece by June MacDonald.

T

he real estate industry can breathe a sigh of relief, as can many homeowners.

The Bank of Canada said earlier this month that interest rate increases aren’t likely any time soon, given the economic uncertainty in Europe and many challenging economic situations across the world.

In that environment, an

last significant housing price correction in the Lower Mainland.

At that time, some people simply walked away from their homes. It was a situation very similar to that in many U.S. cities in the past four years.

Here, the housing market has been very stable since the late 1980s.

Prices fluctuated in the 1990s, but for the most part they have been on a steady upward trajectory.

In recent years, prices have jumped to levels where many people are having difficulty buying a home. This is particularly true of single-family homes. Only low interest rates have kept many people in the market.

Interest rates also have other effects, on retired people on fixed incomes.

Low interest rates cut deeply into their purchasing power, as they are dependent on invest-

ment income for at least part of their income.

A long period of low interest rates, as we have seen, can wreak havoc on pension plans.

It all makes for many challenging situations.

Saving is of limited benefit, but so is borrowing too much.

The best approach is to keep expenses under control and pay close attention to interest rates.

Life Lessons Andrea Phillpotts “My friend just spend $200 on her grad dress,

Mum,” my daughter informed me a few weeks ago.

For those readers with kids in high school, you may shake your heads while others might consider two hundred dollars a pretty good deal.

I was speechless. The thing is, my daughter and her peers aren’t in grade twelve. When we speak about grad week including dinner, dance, graduation ceremony, and the $200 dress, we’re talking elementary school.

Enter generational clash. When I finished elementary school, we had an awards ceremony.

My parents attended, I got an award and a piece of paper, and that was that. Today’s grads of 2012, the junior version, have not only ceremonies but a dinner and a beach

day. And that’s just the official school events.

Outside of the classroom, there are several parties planned.

Why all this fuss?

We’re talking elementary school, right? Most kids will do five further years of school not to mention college, university, or training post secondary.

The thing is, apart from the financial pressure some parents feel in outfitting their kids, I’m all for these graduation events. Through an unfortunate coincidence, all three of my children are leaving their present schools for new ones in the fall. In addition to my 13 year old, I have one entering late French Immersion and another starting kindergarten.

All are leaving schools where they have bonded

with teachers, made friends, and connected to a community. All are saying goodbye to the familiar and taking on a new, different challenge.

Guess which kid isn’t stressed about this in the least? Yup, grad girl.

My Grade 7 daughter welcomes high school.

She’s had plenty of time to say goodbye to friends, has feted her teachers, and has mentally made the transition. In a brilliant late term assignment, her teacher had her create a memory book of her elementary years where she put photos and reflections together in a lasting form.

As humans, we have ceremonies like these to ease transitions. We have our Bat Mitzvahs, confirmations, wedding showers, wakes, and the rest

to make the change from one stage of our life to the other easier. There’s a reason for these (apart from the great party factor.) We need them.

So while my daughter most definitely will not be wearing a $200 dress on Thursday, I will be celebrating alongside her this week. I will also be creating opportunities to help the other two with their transitions over summer.

Many thanks to the teachers and staff of Homma and Westwind Elementary. You’re all so very wise.

letters Safe should mean safe Editor: Re: “Science Lesson” (Letters, June 20).

When a science lesson involves chemicals, it’s good to read the labels.

Croplife forgot to do that before lecturing us clueless denizens of, it seems, a nether region of Outer Slobovia.

News flash for the lecturer: Health Canada’s science does NOT show that pesticides are safe. When one reads the label, Health Canada often warns they’re hazards.

Take the weedicide named Wilson® Lawn Weedout® Concentrate (please).

Health Canada says it’s “Toxic to birds, small wild mammals, aquatic organisms and non-target broadleaf terrestrial

plants.” At least it’s safe for what’s (a) already dead or (b) genetically modified to be sprayed with weedicide and sold as food. We’ll survive without it.

But let’s say you have a pet, Chuchi, the world’s smartest Chihuahua. Even if Chuchi can read the small print on the Weedout® label that says it’s toxic to “small wild mammals,” she feels safe as a small civilized mammal. Too bad the weedicide can’t tell the difference.

Bye-bye, Chuchi? Likewise, toddlers toddling into an area wet with Weedout® may be at risk. Maybe we’re nitpicking, but some of us Slobovians think “safe” should mean “safe.”

Picnic was a success

Want jet fuel, then get some insurance first?

Editor: A big thank you to Thompson Community Centre for bringing the community together in such a positive, fun environment. The annual community picnic took place on Thursday and it was the first time I had been to the community centre.

I was so impressed by the friendly staff and volunteers, and was blown away with how well the event was organized. They had something for everyone and it was all free.

The best part was that everyone was joined together as a community for one day.

The flash mob topped it off and reminded me of the importance of taking some time to enjoy life, dance and have fun!

I will be attending this event for years to come.

Sandra Yeung Richmond

Editor: I’m all for all the jet fuel proposals, if and only if, the proponents successfully get insurance that will guarantee repair, to any degree necessary, all damages, including long-term environmental damage.

Insurers must provide coverage if asked, but will expertly assign a value based on the risk.

If the proponents are correct about lack of risk, the cost will be a token amount on their pre-existing insurance contracts.

Put your money where the Fraser’s mouth is, people, or admit you’re full of “pollution”!

Welcome to my first experience at a Korean BBQ restaurant. A few days ago I was thinking about what kinds of food I haven’t yet tried in Richmond, and realized Korean was one of them. I’m not well-versed in this cuisine, though I do have friends who’d swim across an ocean just for a jar of kimchi, and I figured my friends’ good taste plus my curiosity are the only prerequisites I need.

My friends Kyle and Sally joined me in this venture, which was also their first time trying Korean BBQ. I chose Dai Jang Kum (3088 St. Edwards Dr.)

Lindsay Anderson photo Grilling meat at Dai Jang Kum.

We were seated in a booth with a grill in the centre of the table, which truly does look like an inset hubcap.

Our servers weren’t terribly friendly, but they were extremely efficient; when Kyle dropped his fork, there was a new one for him almost before it hit the floor.

We ordered the seafood pancake ($16.95), and the barbecue combo for two ($41.95) which

included beef shortrib, chicken, bulgogi (thinly sliced marinated beef ), a seafood hotpot, and a huge variety of accompaniments.

They first brought the side plates filled with bean-sprouts, wasabi-

marinated radish, plain radish, kimchi, marinated cooked potato, steamed broccoli, fish cakes (which are a common side dish/snack in Korea), and salad. We spread them out around the grill, which our server lit before bringing out the meat platter. I don’t believe I’ve ever had a plate of raw, juicy meat sitting in front of me at a restaurant before, but this is all part of the experience.

Korean BBQ From Page 10 It comes uncooked, and you grill it on your own, personal BBQ – fun! Unless you have a BBQ alpha at the table with you, which we fortunately did not.

Our servers helped us out a bit, showing that the hottest spot on the grill is at the very centre and checking to ensure we didn’t overcook our thin slices of shortrib (I have a tendency to chat a lot and sometimes get distracted from what’s happening in front of me). We each received a small metal container of rice, and with all of our fixings we set to work grilling, grabbing condiments, mixing, scooping from the hotpot, and eating, eating, eating.

Between the three of us we had the perfect amount of food. I especially enjoyed the bulgogi mixed with rice and wasabi radish. With

Korean BBQ, everyone’s meal is distinct depending on what they’ve assembled on their plate and how they mix all of the different foods.

The seafood pancake (haemul pajeon) was one of our favourites – crispy on the outside and filled with various kinds of seafood fried in a thick batter. The seafood hotpot (with mussels, crab, octopus, enoki mushrooms, and fish) was a little trickier to navigate.

The slices of fish were full of bones (not a criticism, just a tricky reality when eating), and the octopus was tough to chew. The broth was nice, though I probably wouldn’t order the hotpot again.

Though the meats were tasty, my favourite thing on the table was the kimchi. This is an absolute staple of Korean cuisine and while there are many kinds, cabbage kimchi is one of the most common.

It’s a mixture of fresh cabbage, garlic, ginger, chili, fish, and salt that’s jarred and left to fer-

ment.

I don’t have a very high tolerance for spicy foods, and some kimchi I’ve tasted burned a little too much. This stuff, however, was just right. It was spicy but also smoky, with a rich

flavour I found addicting. I’m craving it right now just typing about it.

The pickled wasabi radish (daikon) was also wonderful; cut into thin rounds, it was a pale, minty green from its wasabi marinade. The

cooked potatoes had a sweet dressing that offset the saltier dishes, and the fresh salad and steamed broccoli lightened everything up.

It was a nice balance between flavours, and fun to “manage” the

meal ourselves.

Because I’ve never eaten in this style before, nor am I yet very familiar with Korean cuisine, I can’t say where Dai Jang Kum ranks on the list of Korean restaurants in Richmond. I can say,

however, that this is a fun meal to enjoy with friends, and I’d definitely do it again. It’s as much about the experience as it is the food, and you won’t be bored! Just try to talk less than I do and focus on the meat.

Lindsay Anderson is dining out at 365 Richmond eateries in 365 days and blogging about the experience as part of a Tourism Richmond campaign. The Richmond Review will publish an excerpt from one of her blog entries each week. See www.365daysofdining.com for Anderson’s blog.

Together Canada can win, coach says Kevin Orr stressing unity as wheelchair rugby team prepares for Paralympic Games

by Don Fennell Sports Editor After trading goals with Team USA for most of the match, Team Canada’s last-minute rally came up just short in a 56-53 loss to the Americans in the final of the 2012 Canada Cup International Wheelchair Rugby Tournament Saturday at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

In front of a nearly sold-out crowd, the teams were tied 24-24 at the half, but several penalties by Canada early in the third quarter enabled the U.S. to pull away for a gamehigh six-point lead before the latter rallied.

The event, featuring the top eight teams in the world, was a prelude to this summer’s Paralympic Games in London, England scheduled for Aug. 29 to Sept. 9.

“I think we missed some opportunities (with the penalties) but we didn’t give up and played a complete game,” said Canada coach Kevin Orr. “The last two games we played a pretty good system throughout and that’s going to be a key for us at the Paralympics.”

As the sport of wheelchair rugby continues to evolve, so does strategy. And thanks to the success of players such as Australia’s Ryley Batt, considered by many to be the best

in the world, speed is also becoming increasingly a factor in the game.

Zak Madell, an 18-year-old from Okotoks, Alta. is Canada’s youngest player and arguably its fastest. But while it’s tempting to want to take advantage of his quickness, Orr is cautious.

“Certainly I think (speed) is a big part of the game now and the reason why teams are getting fast athletes and training them to get that way,” he said.

“But we’ve got to give (Madell) the opportunity to gain experience. I’m not sure you have to be the fastest team (to be successful) but you have to be the most complete. That’s really what we’re striving for in London.”

Orr said team chemistry will be essential if Canada is to realize its goal of being No. 1.

“We have to ensure what works works, we don’t want to get into a guessing game,” he said. “When I took on this opportunity (to coach) it was to win, it wasn’t to take second. We’ve got to believe we can win and we appreciate Canada is behind us.”

“Speed is a huge part of this game. I think speed wins,” said Canadian captain Ian Chan. “Obviously you have to have the technical part of the game and strategy, but if you don’t have speed I don’t think you have much to work

USA held on for a 56-53 victory.

with.”

“I started playing this game back in the mid-90s and to compare the level of play to where it is today is night and day,” added Chan, a Richmond resident. “Athletes are training harder, and chairs are better. It’s done wonders for the

sport.”

Chan is confident Canada has the ingredients, including team speed, needed to finish first at the upcoming Paralympic Games (Aug. 29 to Sept. 9 in London, England).

“It was a tough battle all the way through (against the U.S.

on Sunday),” he said. “Obviously they’re a very talented team but we came back from a deficit to keep the game close.

You’ve got to tip your hat to them. They were the victors tonight.”

The teams will be on opposite pools at the Paralympics

and will be favoured to meet again in the final. But Chan warns that anything can happen.

“There are so many tough teams now at the international level. We’re going to focus on placing first in our pool and take it from there.”

Wheelchair rugby growing exponentially Games at London Paralympics sold out (10,500 seats) in just three days

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Organizers of the 2012 Canada Cup International Wheelchair Rugby Championship were pleased with the numerous capacity crowds that enjoyed last week’s tournament at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

But the 600-plus fans that packed in to watch Saturday’s heart-stopping final between the top two nations in the world, the U.S. and Canada, pales in comparison to the 10,500 fans who in three days reserved all the seats available at the upcoming Paralympic Games Aug. 29 to Sept. 9 in London, England.

“It’s absolutely amazing,” Great Britain’s Aaron Phipps said following his team’s final Canada Cup match, a 63-47 loss to No. 4-ranked Sweden on Sunday. “Channel 4’s got the rights to broadcast wheelchair rugby and it’s completely taken off. Media interest is going crazy and support for us has been phenomenal.”

The interest in the British team, ranked No. 6 in the world, is indicative of the phenomenal growth wheelchair rugby is experiencing around the globe.

From a game invented in Winnipeg in 1977 by a group of quad-

U.S. fans show their allegiance.

riplegic athletes looking for an alternative to wheelchair basketball, that would allow players with reduced arm and hand function to participate equally, “murderball” as wheelchair rugby was originally known, is now played in more than 26 countries.

“I think it’s brilliant (that all the matches at the Paralympic Games have sold out),” said Gail Hamamoto, who co-chaired the Canada Cup with Kathy Newman.

“The (2005) documentary film Murderball (centering on the rivalry between the Canadian and U.S. teams leading up to the 2004

Paralympic Games) had a lot to do with creating more awareness for sure, but people have really caught on to what a great game it is,” she said. “I’ve watched people come in (to the oval) who weren’t expecting to see wheelchair rugby and you see a look of amazement on their face. Once you see the game, you’re hooked.”

Director of Sport Development at BC Wheelchair Sports, Hamamoto said the introduction of the Wheelchair Rugby Schools Program has also been a boost for the sport.

A legacy of the 2010 world championships, also held at the Richmond Olympic Oval, the program was created as a way of not only getting kids out to watch but to educate them about sport for individuals with a disability. Led by Laurel Crosby, teachers from the Richmond School District generated a resource package, including a manual teachers can use in the classroom.

“The way it’s written keeps with the provincial schools curriculum and fits nicely into the daily teaching environment,” said Hamamoto. “Paired with the school demo program, athletes are invited to share their stories and students are invited to cheer them on and put their knowledge to use at the event itself.”

With provincial government funding, a website www.wcrugbyschool.com has been created featuring resources that can be downloaded for use worldwide.

Ryley Batt of Australia is considered by many to be the fastest player in the game.

Pirates mine gold at Gibbons The Pirates discovered gold at Gibbons Park Thursday.

In the most dramatic finish possible, Gabriel SussenbacherFu clubbed a two-run inside-the-park homer on a full count and two out in the final inning as the Pirates edged the Red Sox 7-6 for the Richmond City Baseball Association Mosquito Division championship.

The Red Sox were equally brilliant, and just moments earlier had fended off the Pirates by throwing a runner out to preserve a narrow 6-5 lead.

The Pirates were coached by Wayne Pulis and Derek Howells, while the Red Sox were guided by Scott Lunny, Chris Dinnell and Ted Lunny.

Girls and boys ages 8 to 16 Girls and boys ages 5 to 10

by Don Fennell Sports Editor High-level soccer returns to the local pitch this Canada Day long weekend, as the Richmond-Vancouver Fusion host the BC Soccer youth provincial Premier Cup finals at Minoru Park.

The action kicks off Friday at 7 p.m. with a match between the Fusion’s under-18 boys’ team and either Coquitlam Metro Ford U17. The winner will play either Thompson Okanagan or Coquitlam Metro Ford U18 in the final Sunday at 9:30 a.m.

The boys’ finals get underway Saturday at 10 a.m. with the under-13 championship match, followed by the under-14s at noon, under-15s at 2 p.m., and under-16s at 4:30 p.m.

In girls’ finals slated for Sunday, Fusion will meet South Fraser in the

under-13 championship game at 9:30 a.m., followed by the under-14s at noon, under-16s at 2 p.m., under-18s at 4:30 p.m. and under-15s at 5 p.m.

“As the vice-chair of the Fusion and chair of Richmond Girls’ Soccer, I’m very pleased with the show of the Fusion in the run-up to the finals and also proud that Richmond is going to host another seminal (soccer) event,” said Aiman ElRamly.

El-Ramly said with any new program, like the B.C. High Performance Soccer League, there are going to be “a few bolts rattle about, but I’m amazed at what the Fusion has been able to put out in a year.

I think we made a good choice with (Richmond youth soccer grad and former Whitecap) Jason Jordan as technical director, hence the results show on the field.”

sports Caps loan Clarke to German side Vancouver Whitecaps FC Tuesday loaned striker Caleb Clarke of Richmond to FC Rot-Weiss Erfurt of Germany’s third-tier team until July 7. If the tryout is successful, Clarke will likely be loaned to FC Rot-Weiss Erfurt for one year.

“Caleb has enjoyed tremendous success since joining the club,” said Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie. “The timing of the trial is a little unfortunate with the start of the USSDA playoffs this week.”

Clarke, 19, finished the United States Soccer Development Academy regular season second overall in scoring with 24 goals in 23 matches in the 78-club league. He currently leads Whitecaps FC’s United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League U23 side with five goals.

consists of girls playing female and boys’ hockey and is coached by Richmond Ravens Peewee AA coaches Tony Lindsay and Tony Wong and Richmond Blues Peewee A1 coach Al Wozney. The squad features five players from the Ravens: Nicole White, Lauren Howlett, Nicole Wong, Hannah Shihundu and Kate Reilly, as well as two players from the Blues: Courtney Vorster and Ghini Sy. The Selects (undefeated in spring league play) opened the tournament with a 0-0 tie against Manitoba, but after a 3-1 loss to

Saskatchewan needed to win their next game to advance to the playoffs and responded with their best game of the tournament to defeat a very good Minnesota team 6-2. The victory earned them a semifinal date against the Stealers, a team made up of top players from Western Canada, Northern Ontario and Minnesota. In a game described by tournament organizers as the best they had seen all spring, the Selects jumped out to a 2-0 lead and held on for a 2-1 victory and a rematch with Saskatchewan. Despite a great effort, Selects lost

the gold-medal final to Saskatchewan 4-0.

The Selects also placed second in the Alberta AAA Champions Cup in April.

“We are very proud of our Selects Hockey BC team, which is the top Peewee spring female team in B.C., and proud of the strength of our Richmond representation,” said Lindsay.

“Our Richmond players consistently demonstrated they could compete with the top players in Western Canada. It also speaks volumes about our Ravens program and sets us up for a very exciting winter season.”

Seven Richmond players suited up for the BC Selects Peewee spring team.

5. Reward your Followers Tweet special offers, discounts and time-sensitive deals to your followers to thank them for following you. They are likely to retweet them too, which will help you gain more followers.

Important Mortgage News If you’re considering buying a new home or refinancing/renewing your current mortgage, it would be a wise move to act before July 9th!

The Federal Government announced June 21st, 2012 four new clampdowns on insured mortgages that will quickly come into effect on Monday, July 9th, 2012.

These changes include: • Reducing the maximum amortization period to 25 years from 30 years • Reducing the maximum amount of equity homeowners can take out of their homes when refinancing to 80% from the current 85% • Limiting the availability of government-backed mortgages to homes with a purchase price of less than $1 million • Fixing the maximum gross debt service ratio at 39% and the maximum total debt service ratio at 44%

Building Security and Trust

The first two changes will have the biggest impact on Canadian borrowers.

If you’d like to review your options or if you have any questions, please give me a call or send me an email, and I’ll be happy to discuss how these changes may affect your mortgage situation.

I am never too busy for you or your referrals!

“CARL” NEEDS A GOOD HOME WITH YOU!

“CARL”, ID #268894, MALE, HAMSTER, 2 MONTHS 3 WEEKS Carl came to the Richmond SPCA from Burnaby where he was found as a stray. He is a lovely little juvenile hamster who loves to be scratched on the top of his head. He may sleep a lot during the day, but he is active and playful at night. He loves to play in his ball and run in his wheel. Carl is also a discoverer who loves to explore around his cage and burrow in his bedding material. He will do best in a home that understands his nocturnal nature and wants a fun pal who enjoys the night life!

Around Town Amanda Oye

T

ons of great food, music, performances and lots of shopping meant that there was something for every-

“Everything turned out, I would say, perfectly,” said Raymond Cheung, the owner and organizer of the Richmond Night Market.

“It was a great success.”

The market’s large lot was packed full of people enjoying the sunshine, many of whom gathered around the main stage for the opening ceremonies.

Local politicians gave speeches on stage and those who played key roles in getting the night market going in just three months were recognized. “[It was great] knowing that we are back in business,” Cheung said of the evening.

Following formal presentations there were performances, including dance numbers and live music.

The traditional Chinese lion dance was a crowd favourite.

“I think it was pretty impressive,” said

Cheung.

The Richmond Night Market features over 200 venders, selling everything from iPhone cases to clothing, and an 88-booth food court where guests can enjoy a variety of Asian cuisines or opt for a deep fried chocolate bar.

Over the course of the summer the night market will host a variety of events.
