Poll ﬁnds bad driving habits most visible in B.C. Nearly all drivers see others illegally using cellphones by Jeff Nagel Black Press Idiotic, dangerous driving seems more prevalent in B.C. than anywhere else in Canada, according to a new poll. The national survey of drivers by Angus Reid Public Opinion found 95 per cent of B.C. drivers spotted others talking on cellphones in the past month, more than in any other region and well above the national average of 90 per cent. B.C. respondents also reported above-average rates of drivers speeding (93 per cent), tailgating (83 per cent), turning without signalling (85 per cent), changing lanes without warning (83 per cent) and running red lights (63 per cent). Seventy-one per cent had spotted a driver multitasking – such as reading, checking text messages or applying make-up – compared to 65 per cent across Canada. And 56 per cent here had seen

drivers invade a crosswalk with pedestrians in it, far above the 33 per cent national rate. “There’s a lot of bad behaviour we’re seeing on the streets,” said Angus Reid vice-president Mario Canseco, who is based in Vancouver and reports similar observations himself. He said the apparent rate of illegal cellphone use is shocking considering B.C. has outlawed the practice for more than two years. “It’s just bizarre that we keep seeing people using their cellphones,” he said. But Canseco noted 81 per cent of B.C. respondents said only a few of the drivers in their city were bad drivers, while 19 per cent said most to all others on the road were bad. He said that result – better than the national average – suggests motorists here on the whole are fairly safe but a few particularly reckless drivers are highly visible. The only area where B.C. scored better than the national average was in littering, which only 43 per cent of respondents here witnessed recently compared to 46 per cent nation-wide. Other ﬁndings of the poll found 43 per cent of B.C. motorists said they’ve honked their horn at a bad driver, 27 per cent swore, 18 per cent waved their ﬁst, arm or hands, 16 per cent made an obscene gesture and nine per cent called police.

Man ﬁned $7,500 for trying to smuggle 29 songbirds Lee wouldn’t have been fined if he had declared birds, but officials say he still wouldn’t have been allowed to keep them by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Being greedy has proved costly for a Vancouver man, who tried to smuggle 29 songbirds into Canada last April. Kwok Sing Lee was ﬁned $7,500 in Richmond

provincial court on Thursday after pleading guilty to two counts under the Health of Animals Act. He was also charged with one count of failing to report in person at a customs office, but that charge was stayed following his guilty plea. According to Canada Border Services, Lee returned to Canada through the Vancouver International Airport on a flight from China. His declaration card indicated he had no birds. But the border services’s detector dog, Lady, who is trained to detect agricultural goods, indicated to Lee’s carry-on bag. Inside, border services officers discovered wooden boxes containing birds. Lee told the officers he purchased the birds at a market in China. He admitted the birds had not been inspected.

He was carrying three species of songbirds: red billed leiothrix, melodious laughing thrush and Oriental magpie robin. Lawyer David Clements, an agent for the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, said the importation of songbirds from China is absolutely prohibited because of the fear that disease pathogens the birds might carry with them. Lee flew into Vancouver from Guangzhou, China, where the highly-pathogenic avian influenza virus is considered endemic. Clements said last month that because of the serious risk to health to not only wildlife but humans in Canada, that Lee was facing a major fine. Lee returned to Canada on April 13 of this year, and was found trying to smuggle 29 songbirds on his carry-on luggage, of which eight had died in transit.

Course correction Trinity Western University’s new degree completion program helps adults with unfinished business by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

asted university credits will become valuable once more and transformed into applicable workplace skills thanks to a new local educational offering by Trinity Western University.

Starting this fall, locals will be able to complete their unfinished post-secondary undergraduate degrees, putting good use to unfinished education that could pay off inside the workplace. “Leadership is the number one discipline in degree completion,” explained Philip Laird, associate provost at Trinity Western, which will in the fall of 2014 open a new campus in downtown Richmond. Whether you’ve studied the arts or sciences at college or university, the first couple of years of that education could still translate into a boosted paycheque. A degree in leadership is something employers value, and this program will arm students with skills that can enable them to advance in their companies. “It opens doors that wouldn’t be open before,” Laird said. The university will begin to offer the adult degree completion program in Richmond this fall, after introducing the program in 2008. The program is currently offered in Langley, Bellingham, Wash. and online. There are many people who for one reason or another— marriage, children, work—were unable to complete their postsecondary degrees, said Laird. The new program will allow these people to get credit for their first couple of years of university or college education, and then take up to two more years to complete their degree requirements. What’s more, they can do so while working. Classes will run on Wednesdays from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Richmond Cultural Centre, with new courses beginning every six weeks, enabling adults to finish their degree in as little as 18

months, depending on the number of course credits that remain outstanding. Asked why offer this program in Richmond, Laird said: “We see Richmond as really the gateway to Canada in terms of interest internationally.” There’s a rule of thumb for people seeking to complete their degrees, he said: They won’t

drive more than 30 minutes to get to their destination. So by building their campus in Richmond, and offering a full slate of programs, they’ll be able to reach a greater Vancouverarea audience, thanks in large part to the Canada Line, which is a stone’s throw from where the new campus will be completed by 2014.

Two years of classes will cost about $25,000, and the student will walk away with a bachelor of arts degree in leadership, Laird said. Those who already have employment will find new opportunities for advancement open to them, either within the organization itself, or outside of it. For those interested in more

“We see Richmond as really the gateway to Canada in terms of interest internationally.” - Philip Laird information about this program, a pair of information nights have been scheduled for September and October, but space is limited. To learn more about BA in Leadership, visit the Richmond Cultural Centre on Wednesday, Sept. 12 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., or on Monday, Oct. 1, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. To book a spot at the information night, visit www. trinitywestern.com or contact Sandy Cameron at sandy.cameron@twu.ca. Classes will be kept small, and are designed for engaging, interactive adult learning. Plans call for graduate-level post-secondary programming at the Richmond campus in the future. The new 22,000-square-foot facility, scheduled to open in the fall of 2014, is funded courtesy the developers at Quintet on Minoru Boulevard, along with a $4 million investment in programming and technology by Trinity Western. The yet-to-be constructed building that will house the university will also be home to a new community centre for downtown Richmond.

Black Press Prime Minister Stephen Harper has rejected suggestions his government is considering pushing through the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline across northern B.C. Harper was asked about Enbridge Inc.’s pipeline project at a stop in Vancouver Tuesday, and the frequent accusation that he has already decided it is in the national interest for it to proceed. “I’ve been very clear that decisions on these kinds of projects are made through an independent evaluation conducted by scientists into the economic costs and risks that are associated with the project,” Harper said. “I think that’s the only way governments can handle controversial projects of this manner, to ensure that things are evaluated on an independent basis, scientifically, and not simply on political criteria.” Harper told reporters he has spoken with B.C. Premier Christy Clark and other premiers about pipelines, but those conversations are private. It’s his first public comment since a dispute

erupted between Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford in July over Clark’s demand for more revenues. “I’m not going to get into an argument or discussion about how we divide hypothetical revenues,” Harper said. He did emphasize that in general, it is important for Canada to diversify its trade and open up new markets in Asia. The federal government is planning “huge investments” to improve environmental protection for shipping

resource material, but it won’t favour any individual project, he said. Kinder Morgan hopes to twin its existing oil pipeline from Alberta to port and refinery facilities in Burnaby, to transport more heavy oil from the Athabasca oil sands. But the company has not yet formally applied for federal environment assessment. Clark initially said her government would wait until the federal assessment of Enbridge is con-

cluded in 2013 before deciding whether to support it. Then in late July, the B.C. government presented a list of five preconditions, including a positive recommendation from the federal review. The others are “worldleading” oil spill prevention and response capability on land and at sea, meeting legal requirements to consult and accommodate aboriginal groups along pipeline routes, and a “fair share” of oil revenues for B.C.

Don’t rush carbon tax review, Metro urges Metro Vancouver politicians want the province to take more time to consider the future of B.C.’s fouryear-old carbon tax and not rush to either reject further increases or axe the tax altogether. The province is reviewing the tax and the regional board voted Friday to call for an extra 90 days of public comment beyond the current Aug. 31 deadline. An extension would give Metro and its member cities more time to consider the issue and formulate positions on how the tax should be improved in the years ahead. The board is also reminding Victoria that it is already on record supporting the carbon tax – Metro’s Integrated Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Management Plan endorses continued increases in the tax.

Trio plead guilty to damaging trees on Westminster Highway property by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Three people are scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday in Richmond provincial court after pleading guilty to 26 counts under the city’s tree protection bylaw. Amandeep K. Dhillon, Paramjit S. Pandher and Karpal Singh were accused of preparing a site for rezoning, and damaging 27 trees before the site assessment

process had been completed. A property at 22391 Westminster Hwy. was eyed for a residential development, and at one point, protection had been put in place for the trees on the property. But those barriers were removed at some point, and the three men, linked to a B.C. numbered company (0740769 BC Ltd.) went ahead with preparing the site and in doing so damaged a variety of species of trees.

Resident calls for action on dumpy property Vacant lot at Gibbons Drive has become area eyesore by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A Richmond senior is calling on city ofﬁcials to enforce the city’s unsightly premises act. Beryl Woollard, 85, has lived on Gibbons Drive—a pricey area near Terra Nova on Westminster Highway—since 1984, and ﬁrst called Richmond home in 1969.

There’s a property at 4280 Westminster Hwy. that used to have a house one it, but that was torn down many years ago. Now the property sits fallow, and has devolved into an overgrown jumble of weeds and tall grass. “I consider it an eyesore and an affront to our community,” Woollard said. Gibbons Drive is among the most sought-after areas in terms of real estate in Richmond, with some of the city’s highest priced houses. But the gateway to the area, which has a baseball park across the street from it, hardly looks like a gem. The untended property is just the latest blemish for the neighbourhood, which once housed a

massive methamphetamine lab inside a house that has subsequently been torn down. Woollard said the ballpark is frequently used, and that means more people are seeing the mess of a property, which serves as a backdrop of the outﬁeld to parents, players and fans as they look toward the outﬁeld. “It makes the street look terrible,” Woollard said. Woollard is hopeful the city will reach out to the owner of the property, and strongly urge him or her to deal with the overgrowth. City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend said he would look into the complaint, but was unable to provide a comment before press time Tuesday afternoon.

EDITORIAL: That’s the spirit Every two years, once the Olympic torch is lit and the confetti from the opening ceremonies has been swept up, we begin to learn a little something about the human spirit. And about human nature. We’re blown away by what athletes can and do accomplish, often in the face of overwhelming odds. National heroes are born every day for two weeks — even if the lifespan of that public ardour is painfully short. Eventually, however, that impressive drive to give as much as it takes to win, clashes with a ‘win at any cost’ mentality. We’ve already seen it in London, as four teams of badminton players did their best to throw their respective matches in an effort to draw easier partners in the next round. Never mind that they were on a world stage, where excellence and effort are the whole point of the exercise. Never mind the thousands of people in the stands who had paid good money for their own Olympic experience — to watch elite athletes battle it out for a chance at athletic glory. No, once they’d been (rightfully) given the boot, the excuses started. One player even announced she would be quitting the sport in protest.

Jason Ransom / Canadian Olympic Committee photo Canada’s women’s eight rowing team celebrate their silver medal performance at the 2012 London Olympic Games.

Some commenters have defended it as an acceptable strategy. What it was, in fact, was a disgraceful display of disrespect for their sport, the fans and the Olympics themselves. Happily, though, it was but a small blight on what has otherwise so far been a fantastic show. We’ve watched in awe as

cyclist Clara Hughes — a multi-medal winner in both the Summer and Winter Games — rode to ﬁfth spot in the time trials, only to learn afterward she’d broken her back in a fall two months earlier. Diver Alexandre Despatie returned to the board to earn a bronze in men’s synchronized diving — performing the same dive he’d been

doing earlier this summer when he smashed his head on the diving board. Now that takes guts. Even the equestrians, like Langley’s Hawley Bennett-Awad, risk life and limb on some of the most hair-raising courses out there to bring home a bit of hardware. Those are just the Canadian examples — and only

the ones we’ve witnessed so far. With some of the nation’s best medal hopes yet to compete, it can only get better. Forget the Real Housewives of wherever. Never mind the pickers and the hoarders. This is reality television at its best. —Langley Times

he B.C. Liberal government is taking its new hard-line approach to federal environmental hearings on the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal in September. Environment Minister Terry Lake has ﬁled the B.C. government’s notice to crossexamine Enbridge, one of the world’s biggest pipeline operators. Lake outlined the “tough questions” B.C. representatives will ask about spill response capac-

ity on land and sea, tanker escort tugboats, pipe wall thickness, and Enbridge’s sluggish response to a pipeline rupture in Michigan. That’s all fine, and to be expected after Premier Christy Clark’s high-profile confrontation with Alberta Premier Alison Redford going into the recent premiers’ meeting in Halifax. Clark’s demands for “world-leading” safety and spill response, as well as meeting the constitutional obligation to consult and accommodate aboriginal groups along the route, are mostly a statement of the obvious. Her call for a “fair share” of proceeds from exported oil to reflect B.C.’s risk has been assaulted from all sides. Pipeline opponents seized on Clark’s suggestion that a major oil spill might be tolerable if there was enough money in it for B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix picked up the theme as he conducted his own belated tour of the

proposed route to reiterate his opposition. There had been earlier hints from Alberta that B.C. might need further rewards for the risk. But when Clark made the “fair share” demand public, Redford was moved to channel Margaret Thatcher, declaring: “The Premier of Alberta is not going to blink on royalties.” The lady’s not for blinking, but neither is B.C.’s Iron Snowbird, as Preston Manning dubbed Clark this spring. All this political theatre doesn’t amount to much. I’ll stand by my January prediction that the Enbridge proposal is unlikely to proceed, mainly due to the tangled state of aboriginal claims. Wealthy U.S. foundations that view the B.C. North Coast as their 500-year ecoexperiment will be happy to help fund a decade of legal challenges, while continuing the media-spinning and protest support they are doing now.

Even if some way can be found to levy a B.C. tax on revenues from the Northern Gateway pipeline, it’s no solution. For one thing, it would confer an advantage to the Trans-Mountain pipeline that has been shipping Alberta oil to Burnaby and the U.S. for more than 60 years. The competing expansion proposal by TransMountain’s current owner, Kinder Morgan, shows the inconsistency of opposition to pipelines. Does anyone really believe that a new pipeline built to the highest standards ever would be too dangerous, while a 60-yearold pipeline is acceptable? Protesters have an easy target in Kinder Morgan. With a tenfold increase to 25 tankers a month proposed to sail under the Lions Gate bridge, a heavy oil spill from Second Narrows to Stanley Park would be catastrophic to Vancouver’s environment and economy. Tankers have made that trip safely nearly 100 years, but the congested

modern shipping lane offers more threat of collision, and clearing Burrard Inlet for near-daily tanker transits would disrupt the rest of B.C.’s shipping trade. An Angus Reid poll last week showed as many as half of respondents remain open-minded about the costs and beneﬁts of new oil pipelines across B.C. Unlike B.C. politicians, they seem interested in learning more before making up their minds. Dix and the NDP ran to the front of the anti-pipeline parade early, as they did with the carbon tax and other issues. Clark began the Northern Gateway discussion with a principled position to wait for the result of the federal review, but that’s apparently out the window with an election looming.

Most Chinese Californians support shark fin ban Editor: If the likes of David Chung and his shark-fin dealing cohorts take Richmond City Council to court for banning shark fins on grounds of “racism” and “discrimination,” they are walking into a trap of their own making. Right now, a group of self-interested shark-fin profiteers in San Francisco is taking California to court for banning shark fins state-wide for over a year, during which time no business in Chinatown has failed due to the ban.

Much more important is a poll revealing that 76% of Californians and a full 70% of Chinese Californians support the ban. Richmond will fare likewise. I ask these people why not also charge the standing bans on elephant ivory, tiger bone and rhino horn for being racist and discriminatory. I am Chinese myself, and would like to see them sue, just for the pleasure of seeing them lose. Anthony Marr Vancouver

Another senseless act of violence Editor: The tragedy at Wisconsin Sikh Temple in Oak Creek Wisconsin, on Sunday, Aug. 5, has shocked the entire 25 million strong Sikh community around the globe. Six innocent people have lost their lives and a few more are ﬁghting for their lives in the hospital. One of the victims—a priest—had just received his green card and had arrived at the temple only four days ago. Our heartfelt sympathies go to the families of the victims. May their souls rest in peace. We pray for the fast recovery of the injured. This senseless act of violence has raised a num-

ber of questions. Why would this former soldier with a twisted mind pick the place of worship of a very peaceful, peace loving, hardworking and generous community to commit such an abhorrent act of violence? What prompted him to commit this horriﬁc crime? This, coming right on the heals of the Colorado movie theatre tragedy has raised even more questions for the society in general and the authorities in particular. Let’s hope that tragedies like these never happen again. Balwant Sanghera Richmond

Theft results in loss of time and heartache

EVERYTHING GOES

It seems that stealing is becoming quite an art in our beloved Steveston and beyond. My wife Willa, and her friend drove to Garry Point, parked the car and locked their purses in the trunk as they planned a walk along the shoreline. Upon arriving back and unlocking the trunk, they were shocked to discover some-

one had stolen both purses. There was no evidence of forced entry. The loss of two purses put two women into a very stressful situation. They reported the theft to the RCMP and within two hours the thief was able to get cash advances of $800 plus $200 in gas from Petro Canada and Chevron. In the days ahead the inconvenience of having all one’s personal I.D. stolen caused loss of time and headache. Willa made four different trips to ICBC, taking her passport. but that wasn’t sufﬁcient as they required two pieces of identiﬁcation. She explained again that all

her information was stolen, she returned with her birth certificate and her passport (“but your name is different”), then her marriage certificate. She was told it would take five weeks to get a new driver’s licence. Along with all her cards and information, her purse contained, cash, car keys, photos and house keys, etc. Will the police follow up knowing that there are photos of the cash advances at the Bank of Montreal and Petro Canada and Chevron photos of the licence number for the gas purchases?

Richmond building Bantam powerhouse Hosts go 2-2 at provincial AAA baseball championships, narrowly missing semifinals by Don Fennell Sports Editor Wait till next year may be a popular refrain in sport, but the manager of Richmond City Baseball’s Bantam AAA team insists he’s not spouting hyperbole. “I don’t want to think too far in advance, but you can’t help notice there are potentially seven returning players,” says Alex

Klenman, who guided a primarily first-year Chuckers’ team to within a victory of the semifinals at last weekend’s provincial championship at London Park. “The differences between a first- and second-year player is pretty obvious and statistically rarely takes a step back. That could translate into 10 to 15 more wins.” Entering as the seventh

seed, Richmond was pooled with the likes of No. 2 Abbotsford Angels and No. 3 Vancouver Mounties which turned out to be the deciding factor in the tournament. The Chuckers’ only losses were to the eventual finalists, with Vancouver ultimately edging Abbotsford 6-5 in the title game Sunday. Boasting a strong defence, solid hitting and top-level pitching, Abbotsford scored a 7-1 win over Richmond on Thursday, while a similarly-powerful and veteran Vancouver squad started strong and never wavered in an 8-0 victory Saturday afternoon. Vancouver will now represent B.C. at the nationals Aug. 23-27 in Vaughn, Ont. and Abbotsford at the westerns Aug. 17-19 in Regina. Richmond, 22-19 in league play, defeated Victoria Red Eagles (which had defeated the Chuckers in all three regularseason match-ups) 15-5 Friday and Cloverdale Red Spurs 9-1 in a must-win game Saturday morning thanks in large part to a five-run first inning and solid pitching from Mitchell Rennie. Klenman said for a team to realistically compete for a provincial championship it needs at least eight toplevel pitchers on its roster. He adds at least half of them must be capable of dominating at any time, throwing the way the An-

gels and Mounties did versus the Chuckers. “Baseball is pretty simple when you break it down,” he added. “You need to have good defence, pitching and timely hitting.” Klenman is proud that the Chuckers—to a player—made consistent strides over the course of the season and will make

even further progress in this off-season. He hopes the majority will play fall ball from the beginning of September through midOctober, and is planning a challenging schedule that may include games against U.S. teams. The games will help to further evaluate prospects for next season’s Bantam

AAA team. At the conclusion of fall ball, the Chuckers will begin extended indoor training two or three days a week through to next spring when they’ll resume outdoor practices. Klenman hopes to have some “high proﬁle” guests instructors for some of the indoor training sessions.

“We’ve always had a successful development program but we want to ramp up the training more than in previous years,” said Klenman, who is even considering taking the team to Arizona during Major League Baseball spring training and hopefully schedule a few games against U.S. teams.

Tsunami debris tracked by tall ship Richmond Maritime Festival visitors to get first-hand look at Project Kaisei’s research by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

Martin van den Hemel photo Jeremy Coon holding up a sample of the ﬂoating debris collected from the Great Paciﬁc Garbage Patch.

t shook the core of a country 16 months ago, but the impact is still being felt across an ocean.

After a 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck Japan on March 11, 2011, a tsunami as tall as three storeys washed over the country’s northern shores killing thousands and washing entire towns out to sea. Tsunami debris is now washing up on far-away shores, or ﬂoating aimlessly in

the Pacific Ocean. That debris has found its way onto the radar of Kaisei, a tall ship now docked in Steveston for this weekend’s Richmond Maritime Festival. The 46-metre (151-foot) brigantine is the ship behind Ocean Voyages Institute’s Project Kaisei, an ocean initiative that launched its first expedition in 2009. It has been sailing through the North Pacific Gyre to understand the impact of waste in the ocean and how to potentially remove it. Kaisei is one of the tallest ships to ever dock in Steveston. Mary Crowley, co-founder of Project Kaisei, is hosting a press conference at Britannia Heritage Shipyard today (Wednesday) to provide an update of the ship’s latest research. Physical debris is only one focus of Project Kaisei’s tsunami research. Scientists are also taking large water samples to examine the degree of radioactivity—from an earthquake-crippled Japanese nuclear power plant—bring spread throughout the ocean.

A continuing focus of Project Kaisei is to raise awareness of society’s use of permanent materials for disposable products. “Unfortunately our lifestyle of the last 30 years has created a terrible problem for the world’s oceans,” said Crowley in a video posted on Project Kaisei’s YouTube channel. “We have to change the world. We have to change the way we’re treating the oceans, and the way we’re treating the planet.” Doug Woodring co-founded the project with Crowley after learning about the volume of non-biodegradable plastic floating in the Pacific. The mass of debris—estimated to be twice the size of Texas—is caught in ocean currents. Visitors to the Richmond Maritime Festival will be able to board Kaisei and get a first-hand understanding at how its crew conducts ocean research. Boarding opportunities are Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Britannia hosts emerging folk-poprock band known for its string sounds From Page 12 They’ve been lucky enough to make a living with music for a few years, and by most accounts, a hit single can’t be far away. “I think we’re getting pretty close,” said Matt Bryant of Headwater, which performs Friday, Aug. 10 at Richmond Maritime Festival. “If not from this record, maybe the next record we put out might actually get us some serious attention and really make a name for ourselves. We’ve been working hard for a long time trying to get a fan base together. Now we’ve got one, and we’ve got a sense of where to go with it.” Bryant, who plays guitar, mandolin and sings, said the band has a simple goal that hasn’t changed: to make really good music that people like a lot. Headwater formed several years ago when Bryant and his longtime pal Jonas Shandel put away their rock music leanings to play acoustic tunes that people would enjoy. On the local folk circuit they met Patrick Metzger and Tim Tweedale, rounding out the Headwater lineup that produced records My Old Friend in 2006 and Lay You Down in 2009. They became known as stringedinstrument specialists

with music steeped in sounds from the guitar, mandolin, banjo, steel guitar and bass. Drums weren’t necessary. “That was really empowering for us,” said Bryant of learning to eschew percussion. “Our grooves weren’t as good with a drummer before that. When we lost the drummer and started just doing string-band music, the grooves got heavier and we got better. It was sort or sink or swim, and we swam.” It was good music education, but today the drums are back. Headwater released its latest album Push

in May—a journey into the pop-rock genre. It’s a departure from the roots and folk the band had been known for— with comparisons with Tom Petty, Peter Gabriel and even Katy Perry—

but the steel guitar, mandolin and banjo are still there. Headwater has had a busy summer. A gig this past weekend took the band to the Kootenays to perform at the Kaslo Jazz Festival. Next month, the band is in Calgary. Their live shows are known for experimentation, improvisation, dancing and even howling. So what’s in store for the Friday crowd in Richmond? Said Bryant: “They can expect a whole lot of energy, some really good singing and some great tunes to listen to.”

Marquardt’s silver medal hasn’t lost any of its lustre Richmond rower still caught up in Olympic fever by Don Fennell Sports Editor It’s been nearly a week since Richmond’s Darcy Marquardt and her Canadian teammates ﬁnished second to the U.S. in the women’s eight rowing ﬁnal at the London Olympics, but their silver medals haven’t lost any of their lustre. “The silver medal is a physical representation of all the long hours of

hard work over the past 10 years,” Marquardt told The Richmond Review. “What a great way to top off my career. I’m so excited to share this hardware with everyone who has supported and cheered me on along the way. It wouldn’t have been possible otherwise.” Describing the ﬁnal as “an incredible race,” Marquardt, 33, said the Canadian crew laid it all out on the course. She said the Americans, which won in 6:10.59, just under two seconds faster than the Canadians in 6:10.59, enjoyed a great start and it was up to the Canadians to chase. She added she had full belief they weren’t going to let the Dutch (which ﬁnished third in 6:13.12) catch them like they had

at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 when they passed Canada en route to silver. Canada wound up fourth behind bronze-medalist Romania. Marquardt said the Canadians found their rhythm going into the second 500 metres and really gained ground with an efficient middle 1,000 metres. “We said before the race that we were prepared as individuals as as a crew to have the race of our lives and I’m proud to say we did,” she said. “We left no stone unturned and had no ounce of energy left.” But Marquardt, who placed fourth in her first Olympics in Athens in 2004 competing as a pairs rower, said she wasn’t prepared for the flood of emotions that followed on

the podium dock when they saw their families waving and cheering from the stands. “These are the people who believed in us throughout,” she said. Marquardt and her fiance (Canadian swimmer Richard Hortness, a twotime Olympian who helped the men’s 4x100 metre freestyle relay team to a fifth-place finish in the heats at London) are now spending the rest of the Games taking in the other sports and enjoying the sounds and sites through the closing ceremonies. They then plan to relax for a week or two in Spain and France before heading back to London, Ont. (where they’ve lived and trained) to pack up and plan a permanent move to the west coast.

“SAVANNA” NEEDS A GOOD HOME WITH YOU!

“SAVANNA”, ID # 235874, SF, MALTESE X PAPILLON, 10 YEARS 2 MONTHS Savanna was adopted from the BCSPCA 2 years ago, but unfortunately there was a break up in the family. Savanna is back again hoping that her next home will be forever. She has always been an indoor dog but when left alone she gets anxious and does bark as she loves hanging out with people and going for car rides. Savanna is shy by nature, cuddly, and enjoys being a lap dog but she should not live with young children as she had a bad experience in the past with having her tail pulled. Gentle, older children would be okay. Savanna knows how to “sit” and walk on a leash. As she is a mature dog, regular care will need to be taken with her teeth.

Spotlight on wellness for seniors

Around Town Amanda Oye

iving a healthy lifestyle is important for everyone, but it does get trickier with age.

This is why Volunteer Richmond’s fourth annual Summer Wellness, Health and More (WHAM) event, which took place last Thursday at West Richmond Community Centre, aimed to help seniors ﬁnd the resources they need to live well. The event, put on in partnership with the City of Richmond, was attended by close to 100 seniors who enjoyed refreshments and had the opportunity to talk to 22 organizations who had

information tables set up around the community centre gym. “Our seniors seem to be very receptive to the event,” said Kathleen Holmes, the chair of Summer WHAM and a volunteer at Volunteer Richmond. “There is a wealth of information that the organizations put out,” Holmes said. A highlight of the event was guest speaker Anthony Kupferschmidt of the Alzheimer Society of BC, who spoke about Alzheimer’s disease and reducing the risk of dementia. “We had a wonderful guest speaker,” Holmes said. “(Brain health) is a big topic now.” Those who attended the event also had a chance to win health and wellness-related prizes throughout the day including a ﬁtness punch card and a ﬁre extinguisher. Amanda Oye covers the social scene. amanda. oye@telus.net.
