Telephone pole is in the middle of the sidewalk It’s only temporary, developer says by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter No, it’s not some Georgianinspired design style. But if you’re texting, tweeting or surﬁng on your iPhone while walking on the sidewalk in front of the new Mayfair Place residential development on Odlin Road, it may just deliver a jarring message. On Sunday, Graeme Bone (@graemebone) tweeted about the new Polygon residential development between No. 4 Road and Garden City, and how a wooden telephone pole sprouts from the centre of the freshly-laid concrete sidewalk in front of the multifamily project. “New building, new sidewalk...and this. Would someone like to explain? #richmondbc gov? @polygonhomes?” Bone said on Twitter. On Monday morning, Polygon explained that the telephone pole is temporary, and will eventually be replaced by underground service. How long that will take before it’s complete, Polygon didn’t say, and a call to the developer’s head ofﬁce was not immediately returned on Monday afternoon. But Bone still had concerns. “I can accept that pole in sidewalk is temp, but would have preferred a more people friendly solution,” he tweeted, adding: “Not blaming the Polygon though. The city needs to provide better guidance when developers build public infrastructure.”

Shark ﬁn debate ‘could get ugly’ Councillor calls for calm in debate about possible ban by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

A Richmond councillor is calling for calm in a divisive debate he believes could pit cultures against each other. “I am concerned that the shark fin debate will divide our community along racial and cultural lines,” said Coun. Chak Au. “Things could get ugly in the next six months, and I don’t want to see that happen.” Richmond City Hall staff have until year’s end to report on a possible ban of shark fins, which animal rights activists say are harvested inhumanely and threaten species with extinction. Toronto is enacting a ban in September and prohibition talks are spreading fast. On Monday, council in Calgary voted 13-2 to draft a ban on possession of shark fin. Politicians in Saanich backed a shark fin ban resolution for the Union of B.C. Municipalities to consider. Some communities like Port Moody already prohibit shark fins, but with few Chinese restaurants and food retailers, have less at stake than Richmond. Local restaurateur David Chung told The Review last week that shark fin soup “is a tradition that we don’t want to break,” suggesting “Chinese people have become part of the food chain,” keeping shark populations in check. Online reaction was swift, with many commenters attacking Chung. See Page 3

Airport ‘totally out of control,’ councillor says City seeks legal opinion on airport’s authority to build luxury mall by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter City council blasted a luxury outlet mall planned by airport ofﬁcials, promising Monday a legal probe of their authority before shovels hit the ground. “They really should stick to the core business,” said Coun. Derek Dang. “They’re not headed in the right direction as far as we’re concerned as a community and as a city.” Vancouver Airport Authority’s board of directors has approved a plan to prepare a 21.5-hectare (53acre) site along Russ Baker Way for a 459,600-square-foot retail mall. The land is controlled by the airport, but is located three kilometres away from the terminal on Russ Baker Way, between the Dinsmore Bridge and BCIT Aerospace Campus. The joint project between the airport and London-based McArthurGlen Group is expected to bring the world’s leading fashion brands to a mall similar in size to Lansdowne Centre. But civic politicians, who have no authority on airport lands, have concerns, chief among them are land use, trafﬁc impact and design. The mall is also a diversion from the City Centre area plan, which concentrates commercial growth in the No. 3 Road corridor. “It’s basically a mall with a sea of parking around it. Would we let any mall owner anywhere in Richmond these days do that?” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “Given what we’ve

Vancouver Airport Authority ofﬁcials are moving ahead with plans to develop a 459,600-square-foot luxury mall near the BCIT Aerospace Technology Campus.

done for Aberdeen, given what we’ve done with IKEA...surely that’s the contemporary design, not this sea of parking.” Brodie said the airport authority spent $300 million on its share of the Canada Line, only to plan a retail mall that doesn’t support it. And despite the promise of a shuttle bus connecting the line with the mall, Brodie doesn’t believe Prada shoppers will line up for transit. On Monday council formalized its

opposition to the plan, and asked staff to obtain a legal opinion regarding the airport’s mandate to approve it. Council is demanding a meeting with the airport authority board, and also wants the ear of local MPs and federal Transport Minister Denis Lebel, the politician ultimately responsible for airport activities. City policy planning manager Terry Crowe noted the mall’s design includes a “hostile” exterior, where a service road, hidden by fencing,

Shark fin education has been effective From Page 1 Au, an immigrant from Hong Kong, sees himself as a bridge between cultures, and said efforts at building awareness around shark fin harvesting are paying off. He said attitudes are changing, particularly among young people, and sales are down. “A shop owner told me that he had not sold an ounce of shark fin in three months. This shows that education has been effective,” said Au. “You can do more (through education) without the negative side-effect of people feeling angry.” Au is calling for a “made in Richmond” solution, and encourages residents to offer comments to city hall while considering all implications of a ban. “I hope that the issue around shark fin ban can be discussed in a calm and rational manner with stakeholders will be consulted before a decision is made, so that we can do the right thing in the right way.” Any ban must be “reasonable, enforceable and without unintended negative consequences,” he said, noting consequences are many for a municipal government. A ban could open the city up to legal

“A shop owner told me that he had not sold an ounce of shark fin in three months. This shows that education has been effective.” - Chak Au challenges—reportedly happening in Toronto—since the federal government currently allows shark fin imports. A ban could also prompt local retailers and restaurateurs to seek compensation from the city for lost revenue, said Au. Another potential challenge with a local ban could arise at the airport, Au noted, when people arrive in legal possession of shark fins—then leave the airport and enter Richmond. Au noted in the U.S., Pacific coast state governments—not city councils—have shark fin bans in place. In Canada, federal NDP MP Fin Donnelly has proposed legislation banning importation of shark fins, but no action has yet been taken on the bill.

surrounds a mall marooned in a parking lot. What’s unclear is what form retail signs—directing trafﬁc to the mall—could take, staff noted. Metro Vancouver planners have also attacked the plan, saying it’s a diversion from the Regional Growth Strategy. Coun. Harold Steves called the design “yesterday’s thinking.” He said the airport authority, like the federal arms-length agency Port Metro Vancouver, are going too far.

“The two authorities are totally in unison in attacking our regional plan, and I think the only way we’re going to deal with it is to go after both of them head on,” he said. “We need local people having a major say in the running of the Vancouver Airport Authority and the port authority. Both of these two major government agencies are totally out of control.” Coun. Evelina Halsey-Brandt said she remembers when Transport Canada handed gave the Vancouver Airport Authority control of the airport in 1992—but doesn’t remember the authority’s mandate to include retail mall development. “I was around when that happened, and I believe this goes way past what we were led to believe,” she said. Vancouver Airport Authority officials announced last month that site preparation work for the mall begins in August, and Phase 1 of the mall—97 stores—would open in fall of 2014. The authority, which commissioned its own traffic study, says traffic impact would be “minimal,” noting the mall would open after the morning rush. The mall is among a number of development plans or proposals on the airport-controlled island. The airport authority has preliminary plans to build a 250-room hotel and business park next to Templeton Station, and a new 700,000-square-foot Canada Post processing facility is under construction on Ferguson Road. In addition, officials announced in January $1.8 billion in improvements planned for the next decade, including 700 metres of corridors and moving walkways, new high-speed baggage systems, upgrades to the domestic terminal building and runway safety enhancements.

ABC-TV’s Once Upon a Time returns soon to Steveston by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Fans of the ABC TV fantasy series Once Upon a Time will be able to satisfy their cravings for the show long before the second season resumes this fall. This week, production began for the surprise first-season hit TV show, which centres around a woman who lives in the town of Storybrooke, Maine (real-life Steveston, B.C.) and doesn’t recall her fairy-tale origins, and that of the characters around her. It’s her son—who she gave up for adoption and is reunited with at the start of the first season—who tries to jog her memory, and he finally met with success toward the end of the inaugural season. But this week’s shooting wasn’t in Richmond, but did take place elsewhere in the Lower Mainland, a source told The Richmond Review. Shooting in Steveston is set to re-

Sea plane makes emergency landing at Garry Point No injuries after plane loses power by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A ﬂoat plane which lost power made a successful emergency landing in the waters off Garry Point around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. Kim Moldowan and her kids were enjoying the weather, playing in the stretch of beach near Pajo’s Fish and Chips, when Moldowan’s attention was drawn to the unusual sound of a plane “scooting around” in the water.

“I thought, that’s odd. I’ve never seen a sea plane in the water here at Garry Point,” Moldowan told The Richmond Review. Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said there were no injuries in the incident. “Apparently the plane had to make an emergency landing due to a loss of power,” Turley said. She wasn’t able to provide any other details. While Moldowan said she didn’t see the plane make the successful landing, she did notice a police boat trying to get the pilot’s attention, and approaching the sea plane. The police officers were trying to speak to the pilot, who was revving the plane’s engines, making communication difficult. But police did finally get their point across, and the plane was last seen being towed.

Floatplane noise drops as planes ﬂy higher

Film fest starts Friday

But redrawing of flight paths ‘will probably take years’

The Your Kontinent film festival returns July 20 to 22, with most events and screenings held at Richmond Cultural Centre. Previously the New Asia Film Festival, the event has grown in scale and scope since organizers rebranded it Your Kontinent in 2011. Screenings of films and documentaries from around the world are augmented by various arts events, including a three-day retrospective exhibition and single live performance piece by Margaret Dragu. A full event and screening schedule is wrapping today’s Richmond Review or see ykfestival.ca. Tickets are $8 to $35, and are available in advance at Richmond Cultural Centre’s front desk.

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A decision to force floatplanes at least 1,000 feet higher when flying over Richmond is offering some noise relief for residents, but major change is still years away. Margot Spronk told city council Monday the new rule—primarily aimed at safety—has forced aircraft that can’t maintain a high altitude to fly offshore. “Not only is there a reduction [in noise] because of the additional altitude, there is also a reduction because there is less aircraft,” said Spronk, one of the city’s two representatives on the Vancouver Airport Noise Management Committee. Transportation officials made the change April 5, requiring floatplanes to fly over Richmond at 3,500 feet or above. The semi-annual report to council from Spronk and fellow representative Haydn Acheson, was largely positive. Spronk noted success in the fight against noise with the Jan. 25 opening of a ground runup enclosure for propeller aircraft. But

more work is still needed, she said, particularly around changes that will boost air traffic, especially at night. And while most recommendations from a former city-led task force have been addressed, one significant topic is outstanding. Victor Wei, the city’s transportation director, said yet to be solved is a redesign of the airspace over Richmond— redrawing the flight paths in and out of YVR—to limit noise for residents. NAV Canada, a corporation that co-ordinates aircraft movement in Canada, is working on it, but the file is complex. “It will probably take years to result in significant changes,” said Wei, noting NAV Canada, the airport authority and Transport Canada meet regularly to reduce aircraft noise over Richmond. Spronk agreed any changes will be difficult. “It is clear if you change things in one place, you’re going to also effect change in other places,” she said. “It does make making change very complex, because the other factors that go into those changes are already considerably complex.” In 2011 runway operations on Sea Island rose one per cent and passenger volume increased two per cent. That same year 117 noise complaints were made by 81 Richmond residents— down from 196 complaints from 116 locals in 2010.

City looking for ideas for land formerly slated for parkland City staff are collecting ideas on the future use of a West Cambie corner—provided the ideas don’t involve parks. In March, council voted 6-1 to allow development on a 4.86-hectare (12acre) site near Alderbridge Way and No.. 4 Road and strip the land of its previous park designation. The land, in the Alexandra area, is privately owned and occupied by singlefamily homes. Surrounding the site are new apartments and land subject of a Walmart rezoning proposal.

In 2006 council decided to turn the area into a natural park, but this year agreed with staff that cash set aside for the land can be used to buy natural parkland elsewhere—farther away from the Garden City lands. An open house is scheduled for Wednesday, July 25 from 4 to 8 p.m. at city hall, where planners will explain options they’re considering. Development could include an extension of Walmart’s retail centre, townhouses or apartments. —by Matthew Hoekstra

New MINI dealership minimizes ecological footprint $500,000 invested in green design by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

On Friday night (7:00–9:00) enjoy this national historic site with live music, drumming and light refreshments. Come back on Saturday and Sunday (11:00–6:00) for full-scale festival fun for all ages.

Step into the new MINI dealership at Cambie and Shell roads, and you can understand why managers refer to it as a theme park. On Tuesday morning, Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie helped open the brand new facility, cutting the ceremonial ribbon alongside Auto West Group founder Joachim Neumann. Inside the showroom, LED lights against a black backdrop help the uniquely customized candy-coloured MINI vehicles stand out much like a glitzy rollercoaster car. But this new dealership has both style and substance. Peter Sargent, project development manager, said $500,000 was in-

vested into the facility to make it eco-friendly inside and out. That brings to $2 million the investment in Mother Nature friendly features between the new MINI dealership and the Auto West BMW site next door. Some 168 solar panels have been installed to make the largest solar panel installation on a car dealership in B.C., Sargent said, creating energy that offsets what

the facility uses. Rain water is reclaimed for use in the toilets, and to irrigate the lawns, gardens and green walls, LED lights keep energy consumption lower, and the south facing walls are green, which help the dealership remain cool in the summer months. The 25,000-squarefoot dealership is the largest MINI has to offer in Canada. Electic vehicle charge

City Board Land use re-designation in the West Cambie Area Plan We want to hear from you The general public and neighbouring residents are invited to attend an information open house to learn about and provide feedback on the City’s plan to remove the West Cambie Area Plan “Park” land use designation from the properties located in the north west corner of No.4 Road and Alderbridge Way, and discuss other land use options. The drop-in style open house is: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Richmond City Hall 6911 No. 3 Road, Room M.1.002 There will be representatives from the City’s Planning Department available to guide you through the options being considered by the City. Your feedback is important to us and it will be compiled and taken into consideration by Council when staff present their recommendations. Background In March 2012 Council directed that the “Park” designation be replaced for the affected properties from the West Cambie Area Plan – Alexandra Neighbourhood Land Use Map. At the Open House, you can learn what this means to the neighbourhood and provide feedback on options that are being considered by the City. For more information For more information, a copy of the proposed land designation options and the feedback form are available by contacting David Johnson, Planning Department at david.johnson@richmond.ca or 604-276-4193.

stations have also been installed to meet future demands by electric vehicles. “Our goal was to create a sustainable, healthy and comfortable environment for both customers and employees,” Neumann said. “By integrating sustainable design and energy efﬁ ciency with comfort, safety, utility and aesthetics, we’ve been able to achieve this goal.”

There’s the ban on bunny sales in pet stores, and the ban on puppy sales too. Genetically modiﬁed foods are no longer welcome, and same goes for smoking in public places. That’s right, 6911 No. 3 Rd. could be confused for the Moral Authority of Richmond, and we have Victoria and Ottawa to thank for that. Everyday issues that really mean something to people are sparking them to voice their concerns at levels not seen in Richmond in nearly a decade. And rather than the province or the feds taking the lead, their inattentiveness has left civic politicians to pick up the slack and try keep pace with social changes. A perfect recent example is cosmetic pesticides. Many municipalities, including Richmond, have passed bylaws banning the unnecessary use of pesticides and herbicides on such threats to public order as clover and dandelions. But surely it would make sense for a province-wide ban, just like Ontario and Quebec do. B.C. NDP Opposition leader Adrian Dix proposed a private member’s bill to do just that. Premier Christy Clark even agreed and struck a committee which er... dropped the ball.

Matthew Hoekstra photo Shark ﬁn soup protesters brought t heir message to Richmond City Hall last week.

Today, the hot issue is shark ﬁn soup, with concerns about endangered sharks on one side, and cries for the preservation of cultural traditions on the other. Is a similar debate about foie gras that far behind? Metro Vancouver newspaper reports that California eateries are ducking that state’s ban on foie gras, made from the engorged livers of ducks or geese that are force-fed through funnellike tubes. In Richmond and a handful of other cities across Canada,

Editor: Growing up in Richmond with a Chinese cultural background, I have never understood why the shark fin was so valued and viewed as a symbol of power according to the Chinese tradition. Every year, more than a hundred million sharks gets slaughtered for their fins and the rest of the shark’s body goes back into the ocean. This is such a waste! We need to stop the Chinese restaurants in our city from making shark fin soup. Not only do the sharks get bloodied to extinction, but it will also affect our oceanic ecosystems. The sharks have special jobs in the ecosystem which includes eliminating diseased and geneticallydefective animals and helping us to stabilize the fish populations. Also, sharks are unlike other fishes that

civic politicians have direct city staff to brush up on their knowledge of shark ﬁn soup, an issue that couldn’t be further removed from the day-to-day operations of a city of 200,000 people. It seems Richmond has an ever-growing appetite for social injustices, whether it’s puppy mills or the inhumane de-ﬁnning of sharks who are simply tossed back into the water to die. But wouldn’t it make much more sense for the federal government, or the provincial government, to tackle these

lay thousands of eggs each year. Instead, sharks can only reproduce when they reach up to maturity (about 15 years) and they can only give birth to one shark pup per year! It’s ridiculous how millions of sharks are being killed for the nonexistent “status” that egotistical humans try to label themselves with by consuming tasteless meat and with flavourful, rich chicken broth that is, of course, worthless without the shark fin. We need to take action now and stop supporting the cultural practice of consuming shark fin soup! Emily Chow Richmond Editor: After reading your recent article “City mulls shark fin ban” and the statements provided by the organization Shark Truth, I would like to wade into the debate and share with you my recent research into this matter. Earlier this year, I searched for

heady issues? What use is there for a Richmond ban, when a neighbouring jurisdiction hasn’t tackled the topic? To make a real difference, a provincial or national stance needs to be made. Or not. One great thing about dealing with these issues at the civic level is that taxpayers feel more connected to their city governments, and are seemingly more willing to express their opinions at city hall, or in the Letters to the Editor pages of The Rich-

a suitable Chinese restaurant in Richmond to host a 30-person dinner party to celebrate our special event. My key consideration was to find a dinner banquet menu that did not serve shark’s fin soup. With this ground rule in mind, I contacted 10 well-known Chinese restaurants in Richmond, considered their 10-person set menus, and spoke with their respective managers. I informed each of the managers that due to environmental concerns, I wanted the shark’s fin soup replaced with a different soup and asked for some options. All of them suggested a substantially cheaper alternative, like winter melon soup, seafood tofu soup, or even hot and sour soup. When I asked that the set menu price be adjusted to reflect the cheaper soup, all 10 restaurant managers flatly refused. Because of this situation, I debated with my family about the pros and cons of serving shark’s fin soup at our function. Indeed, I admitted

mond Review. Indeed, based on public feedback thus far, there’s a lot of disdain for shark ﬁn soup. In a perfect world, our federal government would have been on top of this issue long ago. But considering the feds seem more concerned about farmed salmon rather than wild salmon, it’s doubtful they’ll be concerned about ﬁshing practices halfway around the world. So once again, it’s up to Richmond council to pick up the slack.

that it was hard to accept the idea of grossly overpaying for a regular soup in order to take a stance against shark’s fin, especially when the restaurants would (likely gleefully) make a highly unreasonable amount of extra profit from my environmental concerns. Due to these restaurants’ position and the concerns of my family, I almost caved into accepting shark’s fin soup despite my own ground rule. No consumer likes being ripped off and without fair restaurant deals in place to reward those who refuse to eat shark’s fin, public education on this matter would be futile. Only an outright ban can properly protect the world’s vulnerable shark populations. In case you were wondering, things worked out for us in the end. Alaska king crab became in season again and we chose a set menu that had this as the “luxury dish” instead. Rhea Se Richmond

letters Having shark fins on your menu will affect your bottom line

Our rights have led to bad things Editor:

Editor: Re: “Restaurateur rejects shark fin ban,” July 13. David Chung is quoted as justifying continuing to serve shark’s fin soup as it is a “right.” His “right” is not enshrined in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms of March 29, 1982. Maybe he considers it a cultural right or some other kind of right. Maybe he considers serving abalone is a right even though it endangers the species. Maybe he considers killing elephants and rhinoceros for their ivory or powdered horn as an aphrodisiac a right as well or killing tiger’s for their penises or bears for gall bladders or paws, actions condemned and banned in Canada are also rights. Serving shark’s fins is an attempt to create profit for an uncaring and dare I say it unCanadian group of restaurateurs as Canadians have expressed their views on killing wild and free living animals, solely for profit and damn the survival of the species. Our response, as is our right as Canadians, must be to call ahead to the restaurant of our choice to determine if they have shark’s fins on their menu or to leave if we see shark fin on the menu. Restaurateurs understand profits and we need to make them understand that continuing to have shark’s fin on their menu or served in their establishment will affect their bottom line. I encourage the readers of The Richmond Review to write in and say which restaurants do not serve shark fin so that I and your readers can continue to enjoy Asian cuisine without endangering sharks as I have neither the “right” nor the desire to endanger any species of animal or bird due to a culinary choice. Richard Mathias Richmond

We human beings find it so difficult to let go of what we feel are our rights. Our rights have done abominable things to our precious environment. There was a time when fish were plentiful here in Steveston and our selfishness harmed the ecosystem. When 100 restauants are claiming “rights” that is no “little” issue! Chinese people need to keep in mind they are now in Canada and they need to honour both their amazing environment and the leaders who are seeking to protect it. As adults we also need to model restraint and obedience to our younger people. Laying down some of our rights will speak volumes to them. Let’s seek to work together for the good of our planet and for each other, keeping in mind our precious children. How will we leave the environment for them?

Esther McIlveen Richmond

The City of Richmond is looking at whether to ban shark ﬁn soup or not.

Tobacco ban would save more lives Editor: If Richmond city council is going to ban things that are allowed by the federal government— pesticides, genetically modified food, and now shark’s fin—why not focus on something that’s agreed by all to be harmful? Activists of all stripes should unite and lobby for the ban of tobacco sale in Richmond. It has no benefit in agricultural output, lawn aesthetics, or culinary experience. You will save more human suffering than anything else that you could have done with

other activities.

Mark Lee Richmond

Some traditions need to be broken Editor: Thanks to animal rights activists, many species of animal life that would have been extinct are not. David Chung has the notion that “if sharks are left unchecked, they will consume more and more ﬁsh.” Get real David—they will still leave some for you and me as they have since before you and I were born. They have as much

a right to the bounty of the ocean as we humans have. We don’t own the oceans. If some traditions are abhorrent, they need to be broken. Using rhino horn in medicine is a Chinese tradition, driving rhinos to extinction. I understand eating the placenta is also a Chinese tradition and there is plenty of it available. Why not permit this under David Chung’s “it is our right to eat things like this.” Perhaps it should be available as a dish in the Chinese restaurants in Canada. Just because it is an ethnic tradition, does not make it right. If banning shark ﬁn is not hurting the bottom

line, why not let it be? Apparently $24 to $63 per bowl does hurt the bottom line and it is not a matter of one’s rights. I fully support Anthony Marr and feel that Canada should ban the import of shark ﬁn just like it has banned the import of ivory and other parts of animals being driven to extinction. We should all support Anthony Marr in his quest for a better more equitable planet. Glen Heredia Richmond

Many species on endangered list Editor: Mr. David Chung must have been living in a cave on Shady Island not knowing that many shark species are on the endangered list due to overﬁshing. He says Chinese people are part of the food chain, keeping the sharks in check. He should be ashamed of himself with a statement like that? I do hope our city leaders will vote to ban the serving of shark ﬁns.

West Lake Vietnamese Kitchen used to sit in Empire Centre, and only last year moved to its new location off the Canada Line on No. 3 Road. It has a fairly extensive menu (vegetarian options available), and are known for their combos: appetizer + entrée + drink, starting at $9.

thirst-quenching, and our prawn salad roll ($3) had plenty of basil tucked inside it, which as Martha would say, is a very ‘good thing.’ The banh mi (Vietnamese sub, $4.50) was great, with brightly-pickled carrots and daikon. It also had fresh cilantro, ham, Vietnamese ham, and just the right amount of tangy mayo. I’d grab one for a picnic any day, and am already looking forward to comparing it to other banh mi around town.

with bean sprouts, Thai basil, and jalapenos. Its spicy, ﬂavourful broth pushed my heat tolerance to its limit (though it is building daily!) and the meat, especially the beef, was fantastic. We also ordered the Special Dry Rice Noodle ($7), which had a crispy, herby garnish, more beef, and a savoury brown sauce that stuck to the rice noodles. It came with a bowl of broth to loosen them, just like the lo mein at Lido, only this one had beef balls in it. But now, to my two new favourite words— LEMONGRASS CHICKEN. The presentation of this dish ($6) was simple: two pieces of chicken, a mound of rice, and a small salad garnished with a slice of fresh orange. The chicken breast was split lengthwise, marinated, and grilled. It was perfectly cooked, moist from the chicken skin, and tasted citric and slightly charred, just like summer. Afraid of chicken skin? Fear not; you could simply remove the skin and enjoy it just the same. We followed this up with a deep-fried banana with coconut ice cream ($6, yup, DO IT), and I was one very happy camper.

Planning Nations Cup no walk in the park Organizing committee meets year-round for annual soccer classic by Don Fennell Sports Editor The 33rd edition of the annual Nations Cup soccer tournament kicks off Friday at Hugh Boyd Park, but for the organizing committee it’s an ongoing exercise. “As much as it maybe should be kind of a turnkey thing from one year to the next, there are always new challenges,” Nations Cup Society president Jeff Wilson says. “The details stuff can stress you out. Last year, for example, they knocked down the scout hall which had been our primary source for power, storage and water so we were left wondering what we were going to do about that.” What organizers did was work with the conditions as best they could. This year, they’ve made a conscious effort to attract food vendors in self-contained mobile units who don’t require running water. And they’ve acquired a room in the nearby West Richmond Community Centre for storage. “Preparation for us starts within a month after the previous tour-

nament,” Wilson says. “We keep a notebook handy at the tournament and list any ideas, problems or issues that come up and then meet while everything is still fresh in our minds. Then we meet a couple more times before the end of the year and every month once the calendar turns to the new year.” One of the ongoing debates—within the organizing committee as well as teams and fans—is whether or not to expand. It’s a question that’s not easily answered, as already the three-day event attracts 48 teams and close to 800 players in six divisions. The sixth, the over-52 men’s division, is only being added this year. “It’s stemmed exclusively out of demand,” says Wilson. “We had some guys who were playing over-45 and who wanted to keep playing. Initially we thought it was too much work, but with a bit more time to plan this year we were able to find a way to make it work without exhausting the over-45 teams.” The division will only

feature four teams (India, China, Ireland and Scotland) this year, but Wilson says there are some obvious candidates (Canada and England among them) that should double the number of entries next year. Wilson believes the determination of these players to continue on reflects their interest in the Nations Cup as a whole. “They were the guys

who played in the open division in their early 20s when the tournament began 33 years ago,” he says. “I think it’s a testament that they don’t want to relinquish their participation. And it also shows the younger players there’s a place for them (when they’re older).” Wilson, 42, is himself a disciple of the tournament’s early days. He used to attend games as a youth, yearning for

Canada’s badminton team tunes up for London Olympics by Don Fennell

Canada’s Olympic badminton team (from left Grace Gao, Michelle Li, Toby Ng and Alex Bruce) signed autographs Sunday, following their participation in the Yonex Canada Open at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Don Fennell photo

Sports Editor In a final tune-up for the London Summer Games, Canada’s fourmember Olympic badminton team tested their mettle against several other top players from around the world at the Yonex Canada Open which wrapped up Sunday at the Richmond Olympic Oval. None of the four—Michelle Li, ranked No. 1 in women’s singles; Toby Ng, Grace Gao (ranked first in mixed doubles); or Alex Bruce (with Li ranked second in women’s doubles) made it past the semifinals. But that wasn’t the point of their participation. Sure, winning a final would have been nice. But as Canada Open cochair Robert Wilson explained, “it

was more about the exercise.” “Our Canadians performed very well up to the semifinals,” he said. “If we could replay the matches, at least two or three of them would have gotten through to the final seven of 10 times,” Wilson said. “But they didn’t have their best games that night (Saturday) and that happens in sport. But I was pleased with how they performed, and it was good for them to play other very competitive players and see what small adjustments they need to make in preparation for London.” Wilson said while the Canadians had the pressure on them as favourites, that won’t be the case at the Olympics.

Nations Cup kicks off Friday From Page 13 A miniature version of the World Cup, the Nations Cup is three days of frenetic football in which teams play for national pride and bragging rights. Wilson would like to further promote the various cultures and create an even more vibrant atmosphere by encouraging ethnic music and dance at the matches. “I think it would heighten the tournament’s cultural diversity, and from a strategic view could be a good draw if we also got performing groups coming out,” he said. With the number of teams interested in participating in the Nations Cup growing each year, organizers are constantly faced with how to accommodate them all. In each of the last three years, a qualification tournament has been held each May to add one new entry to the open division. This year, South America earned the berth by defeating Saudi Arabia 4-1 in the final game. Hosting qualification tournaments in other divisions, or expanding the number of teams in each, has also been floated by organizers. “We’re seriously looking at that for the over-30 men, but we also have enough players in that age group that it might be easier simply to expand the number of teams,” says Wilson. With only six teams, a drop of two from two years ago, keeping the women’s division afloat is becoming a concern. Wilson thinks it’s important to maintain it, but questions the level of interest. “I think we need to bring in some people that assist with helping it grow, but I also think it needs a bit more time to establish some tradition,” he says. •All divisions finals are scheduled for Sunday at Hugh Boyd Park. The men’s over-52 championship game is set for 2:30 p.m., with the over-30, over-38, over-45 and women’s title games all commencing at 4 p.m. The open division final goes at 5:45 p.m.

Youngsters poised for upset? From Page 13 “The Canadians will be going in as one of the lower-ranked teams on paper, but we may well take out a powerhouse and win a big game,” he said. “But for us to defeat two powerhouses in a row will be very difficult.” Canada will be one of the youngest teams at the Olympic Games, with Ng the elder statesman at 26 years old. Li, at 20, is the youngest player. “I think that’s a huge advantage in a way,” Wilson said. “The powerhouse teams at present are much older and when you look at Canada you say, ‘Wow, these guys are (at this Olympics) imagine how much better they’ll be in Brazil with four years extra experience under their belts.’ And there are a few more players just on the edge, and when they get that international experience they’re also going to be very strong.” All four members of Canada’s Olympic squad made the grade primarily because of the points they acquired at the Pan-American Games last year in Mexico. Li burst onto the national badminton scene by winning gold in the women’s singles and doubles with Bruce at the 2011 Canada Winter Games in Halifax. She repeated the feat at the PanAms Guadalajara. Gao and Ng teamed up to win the mixed doubles title at the same PanAm Games.

He gets along well with other cats and loves attention and affection. He will need regular grooming and a special diet, as he is a little on the chubby side. Sylvester will do well with children due to his relaxed nature - just one of the many advantages of adopting an adult pet!

> Cosplay fashion show at Summer Night Market

Around Town Amanda Oye

Anime fans dress up

opular anime characters including Pichu, Ash, Ranka Lee and Sheryl Nome came out to the Summer Night Market last Friday evening for a cosplay fashion show put on by Anime Revolution.

The show featured more than 50 people, each dressed up as their favourite anime character. “It’s just been a great experience,” said Can Ngo, the president of Anime Revolution. “It exceeded my expectations for sure.” This was the second cosplay fashion show Anime Revolution has put on at the Summer Night Market this year and there will be one more in August. During the show the cosplayers each took turns showing off of their costumes, some of which were purchased while others were handmade—a process that can take over a year. Friday’s two-hour show also featured singing and dance performances. Participating in the Summer Night Market is Anime Revolution’s lead up to their big convention in Vancouver in August. There were tickets for the convention sold during the show, and given out as prizes. Anime Revolution is trying to create “awareness of the culture,” said Ngo. “What makes it attractive to me is that … the story lines can get deep and complex,” he said.
