Activists confront restaurateur on shark stance Vancouver Animal Defense League members demand restaurateur submit shark fin samples for DNA testing
What’s in that bowl of soup? •Conservationists recently collected samples of shark fin soup in 14 U.S. cities, including Seattle. Scientists tested DNA and could identify the presence of shark in just 32 of 51 bowls of soup. Of those, six could not be linked to a particular species, but the rest were identified. Those identified were all threatened (one endangered) or vulnerable, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. •The bowls of soup cost up to $100 each. •Stony Brook University in New York, the Field Museum in Chicago and Pew Environment Group in Washington, D.C. led the study.
by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter The battle over shark fin soup boiled over at a Richmond restaurant Wednesday, as animal rights activists challenged a restaurateur over his decision to keep the Chinese delicacy on his menu. Marley Daviduk and Brooklyn Fowler of the Vancouver Animal Defense League confronted owner David Chung in the lobby of The Jade Seafood Restaurant in a heated lunchtime showdown. During the surprise meeting in front of invited reporters, Chung was asked to provide 10 fin samples from his restaurant kitchen to test for endangered species. The activists left emptyhanded. “If he doesn’t put forth samples, then he’s obviously worried about what we’re going to find,” said Daviduk, who suggested one-third of shark species are endangered. Other estimates vary, and Chung said without a definitive endangered list, a test wouldn’t prove anything. “We are not a lab,” said Chung. “I don’t want people to destroy my right to eat anything if it is not the truth.”

Matthew Hoekstra photo Marley Daviduk of the Vancouver Animal Defense League confronts The Jade Seafood Restaurant owner David Chung Wednesday.
Daviduk, who has also campaigned against fur, foie gras and the Canadian seal hunt, pointed to new data released by Pew Environment Group, which tested the DNA of shark fins in 14 cities in the U.S., finding—of those that could be identified—all were threatened or vulnerable species. Daviduk said new estimates suggest 100 million sharks are dying each year because of shark fin soup, and a shark fin ban is needed now. “There’s not a species on
the planet that can handle that kind of devastation, that kind of so-called harvesting. To take an animal just for their fins—because that’s the most valuable part of the animal—that’s a crime and it should be treated as such.” Chung, who is also president of the the B.C. Asian Restaurant and Cafe Owners Association, has been a vocal opponent of a fin ban— as being mulled by the City of Richmond. Chung said just three shark
species are facing extinction according to the CITES international agreement, also known as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna. Conservation group Oceana, however, suggests 50 of 307 species are vulnerable or endangered. But Chung said if the federal government finds reason to enact a ban on shark fins, he’ll remove the soup from his menu. “But it has to be proven,” he said.

The Jade offers four types of shark fin soup on its dinner menu, ranging from $24 to $63, and it’s a popular choice on banquet menus. Chung has said he offers the soup because it’s a tradition in the Chinese community he doesn’t want to break— not because it’s making him money. “Tomorrow, if I take it off the menu, I won’t cry, because it’s not going to affect the business.” But activist Daviduk reject-
ed the argument. “I don’t support any violent traditions, whether it’s female genital mutilation in Africa, stoning to death of women in the Middle East or the Canadian seal slaughter. Just because that happens in Canada doesn’t mean that’s my tradition.” While Richmond considers a possible ban on the product, other cities have already enacted bylaws, including Toronto. The ban on the possession, sale and consumption of shark fin products in Canada’s largest city goes into effect Sept. 1. Last week, Vancouver Coun. Kerry Jang said he plans to introduce a motion to work with Richmond and Burnaby to implement a simultaneous ban. •See richmondreview.com for a video on the subject.

Rescuers offer ailing rabbits hope Bandaids for Bunnies group hopes to find support for a rabbit sanctuary in Richmond by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Rescuers found Chiquita on the grounds of Richmond City Hall in rough shape. As an abandoned pet, the rabbit had been forced to fend for itself. Chiquita was skin and bones and suffering from infections, blindness in one eye, abscesses and a large internal mass. She was booked for surgery by generous local veterinarian Dr. Joseph Martinez, but during surgery it became clear its body had been overtaken by cancer. Chiquita had to be euthanized. “This is what happens to pet rabbits that are abandoned. They either die on the street or end up in a terrible state like Chiquita,” said Cindy Howard. “The only good thing is that Chiquita spent her last few days on earth being loved and cared for rather than suffering and dying alone on the street.” Howard is co-founder of Bandaids for Bunnies, a Richmond rabbit rescue organization that has launched a new poster and online campaign—No Rabbit Left Behind—to stem the tide of abandoned bunnies. The group aims to raise public awareness of the issue and ultimately secure a sanctuary for rabbits like Chiquita. Abandoned pet rabbits roam throughout Richmond, especially hotspots like Minoru Park and the Richmond Auto Mall. A ban on the retail sale of rabbits implemented by Richmond council in April 2010 might have lessened populations, but bunnies aren’t hard to find in pet stores elsewhere in Metro Vancouver, and the animals are still pervasive on the local landscape. Local rescuers have even found them in lessthan-pastural locations, including the Quintet construction site and on a hotel rooftop patio. “Once you start looking for them, all of a sudden (you realize) they’re everywhere,” said Howard. Bandaids for Bunnies concentrates its rescue efforts on rabbits suffering from injury or illness. Co-founder Krystal Grimm, a veterinarian’s assistant, offers shelter to the animals that, once rehabilitated with help from Dr. Martinez of Little Paws Animal Clinic, are offered up for adoption. The group believes a sanctuary—which could only be built with community and government support—would not only offer safe homes for street rabbits, but serve as an educational facility allowing visitors to appreciate how domestic bunnies are ill-equipped to survive in the wild. A sanctuary would also promote spaying and

“Once you start looking for them, all of a sudden (you realize) they’re everywhere.” - Cindy Howard neutering. “Some people are dumping because they think they’re freeing the rabbits, and they’re giving them a better life, which they’re not,” said Howard. Rabbits, she said, are territorial, and new rabbits trying to make a home in the same area can lead to bunny conflict. “We have a couple rabbits with such severe injuries: they’re missing ears, pieces of their face are missing—just because of the other rabbits, not necessarily another predator.” The city’s shelter is also home to abandoned rabbits, which are available for adoption, but the No. 5 Road facility has limited room.

Library offers lessons in Chinese culture English seminar led by Jan Walls and Yvonne Li Walls next Tuesday A lesson in Chinese dinner etiquette, gift-giving and symbolism
will be offered at Richmond Public Library next Tuesday, Aug. 28. Professor Emeritus Jan Walls and Yvonne Li Walls will share their knowledge about cross-cultural understanding between Canadian and Chinese at a free seminar. In the seminar, the pair will also compare Canadian and Chinese views and attitudes toward individuals and groups, directness and indirectness, interpersonal relationships and age.
Jan Walls began his academic career teaching Chinese language and East Asian cultures at University of B.C. in the 1970s. Besides teaching, he founded and directed the Centre for Pacific and Oriental Studies at the University of Victoria, as well as the David Lam Centre for International Communication at Simon Fraser University. Since his retirement in 2006, he remains active in many community organizations and on the province’s
multicultural advisory council. This year, he received the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal. Yvonne Li Walls is director of the Canadian Institute of Chinese Art, and an editor and translator at the North American Fine Arts Publishing House in Vancouver. This seminar is part of a celebration of Chinese culture in honour of Dr. Kwok-Chu Lee. Lee (also known as Master Lam Chun) is a generous supporter of Richmond Public Library.
This ongoing relationship started in 1995 when he donated 1,800 Chinese books to the library. Donations continued, with his most significant coming last year by donating 47,000 Chinese books to the library, valued at $1.2 million. Earlier this year Richmond council has earmarked $100,000 to integrate the books into the library system.

All applications will be reviewed by Richmond City Council who will select a candidate to nominate for membership on the Metro Vancouver Agricultural Advisory Committee.
Staff Reporter There were certainly some signs that drew suspicion from neighbours about a house at 4871 Larkspur Ave. which was destroyed by fire Wednesday night. Inside the house, firefighters who responded to the blaze around 6 p.m. found 30 containers of acetone, a chemical precursor found in methamphetamine drug labs. According to one neighbour, the house on at least two occasions hosted loud and “crazy” parties that drew dozens of teens to the house in June. “There were lots of young girls, very crazy,” the neighbour said. The witness, who has young children, was surprised to learn the house contained a drug lab.

“That’s really terrible, terrible.” Another neighbour said she saw flames coming from the back of the house as she pulled up to her home and followed a fire truck, but before police arrived. The house was frequented by “sketchy” people and cars, she said. Another neighbour said the house was put on the market earlier this year, and the young family who had been living there were tenants who vacated when the house sold. The house is in the midst of a quiety, family neighbourhood, and another
neighbour expressed his surprise that volatile chemicals were found in the house, possibly for the purposes of cooking methamphetamine. “It definitely surprises me,” the neighbour said. “I don’t know much about methamphetamine, but yes I would be concerned
that it’s got that explosive.” This drug lab is not far from where another meth lab was found, at 6251 Gibbons Dr., near James Thompson elementary school, in July of last year. •See richmondreview. com for video.

Neighbours evacuated after suspicious cube van pulled over by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A suspicious white cube van that had been gingerly making its way down Reeder Road prompted Mounties to pull it over, and now neighbours have been asked to evacuate their homes. This all unfolded around 9:30 a.m. Thursday on the 7500 block of Reeder Road in the Broadmoor neighbourhood near Thomas Errington Elementary School. A neighbour, who had been asked to evacuate, contacted The Richmond Review Thursday, and said that the van had been pulled over after it was driving so slowly as to raise alarm bells. Police investigators are currently interviewing the driver, Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said Thursday around noon. Containers of chemi-

cals were found inside the vehicle, and as a precautionary measure, residents in the immediate area have been evacuated, and streets in the surrounding neighbourhood have been closed to vehicular and foot traffic, Turley said. The RCMP’s clandestine lab team is currently assisting with the scene, and the RCMP’s command vehicle is also at the site of the investigation just
west of No. 3 Road, and south of Francis Road. Police were expecting to remain at the scene for about four or five hours. “At this time the exact contents of the containers in the vehicle are not known, however we can confirm that there is no immediate threat to the public,” Turley said. A witness said a large Caucasian man was pulled from the van, and was taken away by police.

EDITORIAL: Ask voters if they want a pipeline
P
erhaps Premier Christy Clark sees a battle with Alberta – over revenue from allowing the Enbridge pipeline to use B.C. to link Alberta oil with tankers on the Pacific Ocean – as the last hope to rally voters in time for the spring 2013 election campaign.
It stands to reason, since the B.C. NDP has staked the opposedto-pipeline position and the B.C.
Conservatives have claimed the support-with-conditions spot. However, by demanding that B.C. receive oil royalties from profits made from what flows through the pipeline, Clark is simply catering to those who already support the Enbridge proposal. Those opposed have said loud and clear it is not about money, but about inevitable environmental damage. Grand Chief Edward John of the First Nations Summit political executive summed it up in a scathing press release, when he said the B.C. Liberal government has
missed the mark, stressing “B.C. First Nations’ traditional territories and pristine environment are not for sale.” John reminded Clark of the Supreme Court of Canada’s stance that there is a legal requirement for governments to “consult and accommodate” First Nations regarding any and all land and resource development initiatives in their respective territories. If First Nations cannot be convinced to allow a pipeline to be constructed through their territories the pipeline simply will not be.
With Clark’s demand having been rejected by Alberta Premier Alison Redford, with First Nations still on the sidelines and with strong opposition among the public, perhaps it would be wise for Clark to add a non-binding referendum question to the May 14, 2013 general election ballot. A simple question – Are you in favour of the Enbridge pipeline proposal? – could produce results that tell the government of the day exactly which direction it should travel on this pipeline proposal. —Victoria News
Chasing the American ‘cheap food’ dream
Green Scenes Colin Dring
A
number of friends and family, who will remain nameless, have guiltily admitted to shopping down in Washington. “It’s so much cheaper,” they explain, using this as a valid argument for investing in American agriculture. “Milk, eggs, butter, cheese cost so little!” My immediate reaction to food shopping in the United States is that it is a bad idea. It’s important to understand though, why food in the States is comparably cheaper and why we should still be sticking close to home for our groceries. The most common answer to why food seems more expensive here at home is that it has to travel a lot of miles to get to the store and that along the food supply chain (e.g. distributor, retailer, producer) dollars are being added to the product before it gets to the shelf. This would be a good answer, but clearly in the United States, the same thing is happening. Food is travelling from California, Florida, Central and South America, but still the prices are lower. The other ‘fact’ that gets thrown around is that there is greater competition in the U.S. between food companies resulting in lower prices as businesses
fight for the consumer’s dollar. But in reality there is a smaller number of agricultural and food corporations that own and control the majority of the production system. As an example, three companies (Cargill, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) and Zen Noh) control 65 per cent of U.S. soybean exports and 81 per cent of corn exports. The other factor keeping those pop-tarts and milk products cheap is subsidies that the government pours into agriculture, specifically for corn and soybean operations. In 2009, the US government put in over US$124 billion into agricultural subsidies; the number in Canada, US$10 million. So while you may save a few bucks at the checkout, your dollar is going towards a broken agricultural system where poor agricultural practices, such as corn-fed cows and higher usage of antibiotics are the norm. As well, this kind of corporate farming primarily aims to maximize profits and yields for agri-corporations while negatively impacting nutrition, freshness and flavour. Could this be the reason why dairy and meat are so much cheaper? The major concern for the consumer is that food has to travel thousands of miles to get to your plate. Products coming from right here in the Fraser Valley have a shorter trip to your dinner plate resulting in fresher and tastier food. Our farmers here operate under tighter restrictions and you’ll never find growth hormones in our Canadian food products.

Regardless of why food is cheaper down south of the border, I’m going to continue to purchase food produced in B.C. and here’s why: Local food produced as close to home is fresher and has higher nutritional value. My health and the health of my friends and
family are really important to me. I want to feed them a high quality product that I know has travelled fewer kilometres and I know where and who is producing my food. Buying from farmers and B.C. products supports the local economy and generates investment within the community. It also helps to teach us about our food and

Fresh Values in Store This Week!
Seniors’ lunch brings the community together Editor: The 10th anniversary seniors’ luncheon hosted by Richmond Chinese Community Society was held at the Continental Seafood Restaurant on Aug. 18. The dignitaries present were Minister of State for Seniors Alice Wong, Mayor Malcolm Brodie and councillors Linda McPhail and Bill McNulty. The sponsors of the event present, among others, were representatives from River Rock Casino and The National Bank. As always, approximately 500 guests at this gala event enjoyed great food, great company, great entertainment and great service. For the 10th consecutive year, the seniors enjoyed an outstanding meal in a very pleasant environment which would not have been possible without the generosity of Richmond Chinese Community Society. The event continues to be successful every year because of the dedication and goal of RCCS to promote interaction within the community and to bring all the cultures together. As part of its goal to achieve multicultural integration within the community, RCCS was very generous in providing free tickets to local community centres for seniors to attend this gala event. All the seniors are looking forward to continuing this extremely popular event! Thank you RCCS. Harry Ghandan Richmond

of agriculture and their opposition critics. The timing for this resolution couldn’t have been better. Canada recently hosted UN Special Rapporteur Olivier De Schutter and the press coverage of his visit hit every major paper across the country. “Canada has long been seen as a land of plenty. Yet today one in 10 families with a child under six is unable to meet their daily food needs. These rates of food insecurity are unacceptable, and it is time for Canada to adopt a national right to food strategy,” De Schutter said. CFUW members have taken an active role in public affairs, working to improve the status of women, human rights, health, environment, education and justice. Ensuring Food Security in Canada asks all levels of government to support a National Food Policy, preserve agricultural land, and encourage new farmers. CFUW Richmond looks forward to taking an active role with you Colin in the advocacy for access to safe and nutritious food for all. Sue Burford President CFUW Richmond

letters Longtime Richmond citizens are left to endure eyesores Editor: I share the same concerns as Beryl Wollard in the article “Resident calls for action on dumpy property” in The Richmond Review. In the McKay School area, we have a vacant lot on Lancing Road. The house sat empty for over a year, like so many of the houses do in this area and throughout Richmond.
Due to squatters and theft, the house has been demolished. Now, the lot is knee-high in tall grass and weeds. When my husband has the weedeater out, he will chop down the weed-filled long grass boulevard, but the property is a dumping ground. As I walk through our subdivision, I rarely see small children. I
look at the big mansions and wonder if anybody lives in them; shoes never move from the front porch, and cars never leave the driveway.

Editor: One should be careful for what one wishes for. In reference to The Langley Times editorial about ICBC (Aug. 22) I would like to point out how a little bit of research work by the writer would have helped ferret out the truth. The truth of the matter is that ICBC is in its third year of a $500 million transformation project to bring its 1972 computer platform into the 21st century. Of the 200-plus managers hired in the past four years, only 31 were actually there to do day-to-day management and the balance were hired specifically for the transformation project. Over the next one to three years most of them would have been let go as their contributions to the project ended. I also have to question the writer’s opinion as far as having true competition for our auto premiums as they are complaining about all the dollars being siphoned off by the provincial government to pay for his/her ongoing services provided in this province. Would the writer be far happier if those same dollars were siphoned off to pay the shareholders of those numerous private companies and have the money dispersed around the world as dividends? As far as ICBC being non-competitive, one should look closely at the facts. Granted we do not have the cheapest rates in the country, but have you looked at the price of real estate in Vancouver lately? In addition to all the road improvements that ICBC contributes to on an annual basis to reduce accidents (private companies certainly don’t) ICBC also offers one of the only true tort systems in Canada for bodily injury claims. That might be why our basic rates are going up 11 per cent, not the lack of competition. Maybe the edito-

TURN YOUR EMPTIES INTO A NEW SET OF WHEELS.
Heading Out to Wonderful, by Robert Goolrick, is a must-read novel about adultery and doomed passion, set in the mid-1900s in the Virginia Valley. The small town of Brownsburg is never the same after Charlie Beale, back from the Second World War, arrives in town. Carrying two suitcases—one filled with money and the
Sylvan is a backwoods, teenage girl whose fascination with Hollywood movie stars turns into an obsession once she moves to Brownsburg. A desperate tactic for her own survival, the line between identity and fantasy becomes blurred. Sylvan begins to talk like the stars, dress like them and conduct herself as though she were one of them, when all she really is is an uneducated country girl whose family has benefitted big-time from her premature marriage. Sylvan soon becomes friends with Claudie Wiley, the town’s talented black seamstress, and has her make copies of the extravagant outfits she sees at the movies. Tarting herself up like a Hollywood starlet, complete with the blond styled hair and siren-like make-up, Sylvan stands out like a cream puff at a hog-tying competition. Once Charlie sets eyes on Sylvan, he’s done. He thinks he's never seen a woman so beautiful, and one day he crosses the line. His admiration of her from afar turns into a full blown obsession. And it’s not exactly six o’clock news that nothing good ever comes from adultery. Meanwhile, Charlie has grown very close to Will and Alma’s little boy Sam, and spends lots of time with him, almost becoming like a second father to him. Taking Sam on trips with him to the slaughterhouse, teaching him how to play ball and buying a dog so that Sam can play with him - all these seem innocent enough in small town Virginia in 1948. Until Charlie’s obsession with Sylvan escalates. Then Sam unwittingly becomes entwined in their illicit affair, with devastating consequences. Author Goolrick deftly sketches the small-minded Brownsburg residents and brings them to life in all their misguided glory, at the same time weaving a story of pure but doomed love. There’s a poignant circularity to the story, with profound love and profound grief battling each other for ascendancy. Heading Out to Wonderful is an enchanting novel of jealousy, power and the havoc that money can wreak. Shelley Civkin is communications officer with Richmond Public Library.

The latest injury prevention tips will help you hit the ground running
A Runner’s Mind Christine Blanchette
If the unmatched spectacle of Usain Bolt winning the sprint double—again—at the London Olympics hasn’t captured your imagination, how about his classy compatriot, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce repeating as women’s
Olympic 100m champion? Jamaica is a tiny island nation of three million people, of which approximately half, or so it seems, are Olympians that took London by storm. The Games of London, with all its glamour and pomp and “Dream Teams” and “Fab Fives”—yet which country will be most remembered? I put the question to a group of friends and the overwhelming response was – Jamaica. The Games feature several “sports” like pistol shooting, dressage and sailing (10 different
classes). Ballroom dancing is still trying to get in. No, the sprints are the glamour events for a reason. The fastest man and woman on earth capture the imagination like no other Olympian. In Atlanta 1996, Canada won 22 medals, including Donovan Bailey’s gold in each of the men’s 100m and sprint relay. Afterward, a European official (unofficially) proclaimed the Atlanta Games to be, “Canada’s Games,” such is the prestige held by the sprint champions. Doubtless a new generation, not just in Jamaica—but world wide—will be inspired
to become the Olympic heroes of tomorrow, taking on the challenge of matching or beating the phenomenal performances we’ve witnessed. Others will be inspired to just get out and get moving, enjoy the freedom our bodies give us while we still have it. Injuries are one sidebar of training, however, that most of us will experience from time to time. The resulting frustration is sometimes enough to derail a comeback permanently. Those that persevere will have a better appreciation of getting there. See Page 14

Injury prevention
From Page 13 So before tying your shoes and heading out the door, you might want to know some injury prevention tips that will keep you on the road or trail. The key is to listen to your body and see a doctor, physiotherapist or chiropractor when you feel injured. Those aching shins could mean the onset of shin splints and lead to stress fractures. It likely means your shoes are old and need replacing. Dr. Sean Graham, a Richmond chiropractor, offered his insight to beginners and seasoned athletes. There are various techniques that elite runners use to lower the risk of injury: Kinesiotape which helps to reduce muscle spasm and add strength to weak or strained muscles; active release techniques which is a soft tissue technique

I asked, can a runner ever not get injured? “If you run long enough,â€? says Graham, “you will eventually have to deal with an injury.â€? Graham is noticing more injuries due to barefoot running. We are seeing more repetitive strain injuries due to the increase use of barefoot running shores. Injuries to the lower leg such as calf strains, Achilles tendonitis, and stress fractures are more common since runners are forced to run on the balls of their feet which put more strain on the muscles and tendons on the posterior part of the lower leg.

Graham notes, “Runners should understand that it is OK to take time off from running if dealing with a nagging pain. It is better to take an extra day or two off from your training to allow your body to heal. Sometimes taking time off from running and substituting some cross training will increase your performance in the long run and prevent yourself from getting injured.â€?

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A Richmond High teen hopes a new youth mentorship program will help young immigrants adjust to Canada’s way of life. Bill Cao, 16, is the vice-president of the Greater Vancouver Society of Students for Accelerated Integration, and the society’s youth outreach team won second prize in the Zenith in Action community grants competition a few weeks ago at Lansdowne Centre mall earlier this year. Armed with an $800 grant, Cao said the new program will connect newcomers with a same-age “buddy” who speaks the same language and can show them around town. Born in China, Cao came to Canada in 2000 at the age of five, and had no other siblings or family in the Lower Mainland. “We didn’t know anyone. We had to leave everything we knew behind. Basically, everything was new,” he said. “In the beginning it was really difficult. I felt isolated. In the beginning, especially since you can’t speak English that well, it’s hard to make new friends.” But a few months after moving here, Cao was introduced to the son of his father’s friend.

back to school
Do your homework when back-toschool shopping School is just around the corner and students are rushing to take advantage of back-to-school deals on everything from computers to clothing. Better Business Bureau has some back-to-school basics to keep in mind. “Whether shopping for new clothes, pens and pencils, or electronic items it’s important to be prepared and have a plan,” says Danielle Primrose, president and CEO for the BBB serving Mainland British Columbia. “It will keep you on budget, save you money, and avoid getting stuck with an item you don’t want.” The 2012 Huntington Backpack Index estimates that back-to-school costs for students in kindergarten through high school are expected to increase by as much as six per cent this year. A child in elementary school could cost a parent up to $548 in shopping costs. Consumers need to sharpen their own pencils and take out their calculators to factor in whether they are getting a good deal. BBB has these tips to help you be a savvy back-toschool shopper: •Plan ahead. Set a realistic budget and stick to it. First check what you have from last year’s supplies which could be re-used, then make a list of the items you need to purchase to avoid buying on impulse. •Ask about returns and refunds. Ask the store about their return policy and always keep the receipts. •Ask about restocking fees. Some merchants charge a restocking or “open box” fee—sometimes as high as 20 per cent of the original cost—for returns of electronics products or large-ticket items. •Shop smart online. Find out the physical location and phone number of the merchant. Read the refund and return policy, have in writing any warranty details, be familiar with shipping costs and time schedules and feel comfortable that the merchant is reliable and not the subject of consumer complaints.
Society helps newcomers From Page 16 “We talked and stuff, he brought us to places in Richmond and Vancouver, and that helped me have more self confidence and feel more a part of the community,” Cao said. “He showed me around the area and pointed out many interesting places where I could go to have fun, such as Richmond Center and Minoru Park. Thinking back on this event I realized that I was very lucky to know him. The goal of the GVSSAI is to do exactly what Kevin
did—to familiarize new immigrants with the new world around them and give them tips on adapting to a new lifestyle that they may have never experienced before.” Cao said all volunteers will be pre-screened for bilingualism, criminal records and general social skills.” The society is also working on a writing contest, What’s Your Story, and is encouraging youth to share their immigrant tales, with the ultimate goal of producing a small book or magazine.

by Don Fennell Sports Editor In the end, another showdown between two old rivals from the Fraser South Region decided the overall winners at the 2012 B.C. Summer Swim-
ming Association championships last weekend in Nanaimo. White Rock Guppies took top honours, edging out Richmond Kigoos by fewer than 300 points. “The Guppies and Kigoos have always been

very competitive teams and any time you place in the top two in the province you can’t be too upset with that,” said Richmond head coach Fraser Roberts. The Kigoos’ dedication to additional training out of the pool helped power its athletes to success at the provincials, said Roberts, though many under-estimated how much staying in a hotel and eating out changed their normal routine. “It affected a lot of the kids quite a bit, but the fact they’d worked on their conditioning helped both to both mentally and physically bounce back faster than many other athletes,” Roberts said. Perhaps the most notable highlight was produced by the Division 5 boys’ swimmers in the medley relay. While compiling a team featuring the four fastest swimmers would have all but assured the Kigoos of a first-place finish, the coaches opted instead to enter two teams because the times of all eight swimmers were relatively close. It was a wise chose as the teams finished first (Ryan Lam, Matthew Chen, Brandon
Lam and Eric Chang) and second (Mark Qiu, Silas Tsui, Frankie Lui and David Do). Kigoos also stepped up in the Division 1 girls’ medley relay with the South Region team consisting entirely of Richmond swimmers Hope Chan, Ella Crawford, Lianna Holz and Elizabeth Lee taking top honours. Rober ts was also pleased for Cassandra Goh who surprised many by winning the Division 7 girls’ 50-metre freestyle. Initially it was thought she’d finished eighth in the final, but it wasn’t until the following morning her coaches learned she’d actually won the race after a timing error was discovered. “It was quite an emotional roller-coaster for her as well as the coahes,” Roberts said. •Results of Kigoos’ finalists on Page 21.

As part of an extensive prevention program, Richmond Addiction Services hopes to score with its annual ball hockey tournament. The second annual Hockey Day in Richmond was held Wednesday in the Brighouse Lacrosse Box beside Caring Place, attracting over five teams of youth aged 10 to 15 for an afternoon of four-on-four play with staff members such as executive director Rick Dubras joining in the action. “Hockey Day this year was about the kids having an opportunity to have some fun outdoors and enjoy the sun, and also to engage and connect them to the community resources available to them,” said Jaclyn Chang, a prevention worker at Richmond Addiction Services. “It’s also a great opportunity to keep kids aware we’re still here and for them to become more familiar with the (agencies) out in community when a lot of times they aren’t. We also want to let them know (services) are not just for people suffering addiction but those affected by it as well.”
Discover your sport The first annual Discover Your Sport Day is set. From noon to 4 p.m. Sunday at Minoru Park, many local sports groups will provide a free introduction to their sport—from baseball to football and cricket to gymnastics. The day is being presented by Richmond Sports Council and supported by the City of Richmond and many of the 50 local sports organizations. Kids can pick up their special collectors’ passport at Minoru Pavilion. It will be stamped by each sports group they visit.

Scrubb invited to Canadian men’s national basketball team camp by Don Fennell Sports Editor Richmond’s Phillip Scrubb has been invited to the Canadian senior men’s basketball team’s training camp to be held Friday through Tuesday at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. Scrubb, 19, capped a dream 2011-12 season by leading the Carleton Ravens to the Canadian university men’s basketball championship in
Halifax. The sophomore guard, who was selected the top university men’s player in the nation, added tournament MVP honours to his personal trophy case by leading the Ravens in scoring in each of the final eight games, including 26 points in Carleton’s 86-67 win over the Alberta Golden Bears in the championship game. Scrubb’s brother Thomas was also a member of the Canadian championship team at Carleton.

Richmond Chinese Community Society celebrated its 10th annual Seniors Lunch Party last Saturday at Continental Seafood Restaurant with the purpose of promoting a “long and healthy life.” More than 500 seniors from different ethnic backgrounds in Richmond attended the lunch party. Coun. Bill McNulty joined in with RCCS members dancing at the lunch party (right).
YVR Airfield and Emergency Services members Chris Miller, Chris Finch and Alex Roth (left to right), and Vancouver Airport Authority President and CEO Larry Berg (second from right), flip flapjacks as part of an Aug. 15 pancake breakfast fundraiser for Burn Camp. Hundreds of employees from YVR’s Sea Island home enjoyed the by-donation breakfast to support the B.C. camp, which provides children affected by burns with a week of fun and excitement. More than $2,200 was raised from the breakfast, with the Airport Authority’s Community Investment program topping up funds raised for the B.C. Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund to $5,000.
