Still no port plans to build on farm Pressure mounts to find new space for industrial uses by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter There are still no plans to convert an East Richmond farm into industrial land despite Port Metro Vancouver buying it four years ago, according to a new report from Avison Young. In a Metro Vancouver industrial report released this week, the real estate firm noted large industrial buildings are in increasingly short supply, and pressure is mounting to build as the port seeks to grow trade. The firm suggested the Agricultural Land Reserve—which 39 per cent of Richmond is locked in—”remains a potential source of new industrial lands, particularly those parcels that are unproductive or not in production.” “A reconsideration of the ALR boundaries, which were established 40 years ago, in light of the development, employment and economic pressures facing the region today, may lead to an equitable solution for all stakeholders,” stated the report. In 2009 the port bought an 81-hectare (200-acre) East Richmond farm, which Tom Corsie, the port’s vice-president of real estate, addressed in the Avison Young report. “Although (Port Metro Vancouver) owns a large parcel of agricultural land adjacent to its Richmond Logistics Hub, we do not at this time have an interest in converting that land to an industrial distribution use that would support the containerized goods supply chain,” he noted, adding a new container terminal at Roberts Bank is the “most efficient way” to build longterm capacity. The property is known as the Gilmore farm and Richmond Coun. Harold Steves has said the port can expect a fight if it port moves to expand its industrial operations there. Richmond has the largest industrial inventory in the Lower Mainland, with 36.3 million square feet. Its vacancy rate is also among the lowest—at 2.6 per cent. Metro Vancouver’s average vacancy is 3.5 per cent.
Invisible Godzilla attacks
A virtual Godzilla made quite a big splash in Steveston on Thursday morning, when locals and visitors were treated to a Hollywood behind-the-scenes moment. Using a massive hydraulic lift, a floating stage, a megagreen screen suspended from a crane, water cannons simulating bow-breaking waves, along with a replica of a navy ship, what looked like a monster-sized battle was being filmed by what’s known as a second unit—none of the big actors were on site. The $100-million-plus movie is slated to be released in May of 2014, and stars Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston. Philip Chin (@iPhilFlash) photos

Apartments and townhouses are beginning to take shape along the North Arm of the Fraser River.
Renewal beginning to sweep through Bridgeport Available land has drawn development, including master-planned community of Parc Riveria Part of a monthly series looking at Richmond’s neighbourhoods.
by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter
H
istory, grit and character can all be found in the North Richmond neighbourhood widely known as Bridgeport. But its identity is changing.
Originally settled in 1867, its one of the oldest developed areas in Richmond. Long known for its retail strip of big box stores such as Costco and IKEA, along with auto wrecking yards on Mitchell Island, developers are discovering plenty of potential here. Private investment has brought the area Metro Vancouver’s largest casino and Richmond’s single biggest attraction. Public spending is also bringing change, such as the No. 4 Road pump station—an awardwinning structure that incorporates public art and a public viewing platform. The biggest project now under development here is Parc Riviera. Located at the north end of No. 4 Road, the master-planned community from Dava Developments calls for hundreds of apartments in four-to-sixstorey buildings, and more in a series of townhouses along River Drive. The first phase alone is expected to contain 383 homes, affordable housing units and space
richmond’s
neighbourhoods for retail, restaurant and office uses. Coun. Derek Dang said available space is a key reason developers have taken notice of North Richmond. “The Parc Riveria development, that was just wide open space that isn’t available elsewhere, probably at a reasonable cost in comparison,” said the six-term councillor. “That’s more the impetus for the area. You had a large tract of land that you could do some interesting things with.” Just down the road is River Rock Casino Resort, an attraction that has recently expanded, now boasting nearly 400 hotel rooms, multiple restaurants and a sprawling casino. Next door is Duck Island, a 30-hectare (73-acre) former industrial site where Jingon International Development Group is proposing to build a retail and entertainment district. Floating restaurants, high-end hotels, shops, bars, clubs and theatres could all be part of the project. Planned nearby—on Bridgeport Road near the Oak Street Bridge—is a $100-million hotel and office tower complex. Ampar Ventures Ltd. plans to construct two hotel towers and a 12-storey office tower. A little farther south is West Cambie, where a proposal from Walmart precipitated a rewrite
of the area plan, leading to multiple new residential projects. A number of those will be powered by Richmond’s first district energy utility, which uses geothermal energy to heat and cool homes.
But industry is still king in Bridgeport. Residential development is restricted in most areas outside an existing district of single-family homes surrounding Tait Elementary. Civic politicians recently affirmed that in the city’s new official community plan. Office parks and warehouses are here to stay, as are the industrial lands along the river and Mitchell Island. Renewal may be underway, but Coun. Dang said the city can’t forget about what’s already there. “We have to be mindful of who we’re squeezing out,” he said. “There’s some businesses in there that have been in there for a long long time, so we have to make sure that we don’t eliminate them by doing this.”

If the recent long weekend was the unofficial start to summer, the unofficial start of summer roadwork is now upon us. Paving projects, which rely on warm and sunny weather, are now getting underway—bringing lane closures and traffic delays with them. In Richmond, city officials don’t wait for roads to break apart before sending paving crews in. Instead, crews grind and recap city streets every 10 to 15 years—before cracks appear and deteriorate the base. “It’s like boots and hearts. When they start to fall apart they really fall apart,” said John Irving, Richmond’s director of engineering. “When they do completely far apart, there’s a very high cost to complete reconstruction.” This year, $4 million will be spent on repaving in 32 locations. Irving said it’s relatively inexpensive for the city to simply reconstruct the surface of roads to prevent major failures. “In a lot of cases to the eye it might look like the road’s fairly good, but we’re repaving it to basically keep it in that condition, and not let it hit that more rapid deterioration curve.” Roads are repaved based on priority, determined by software that

Several road widening projects are also scheduled for the spring and summer months, including No. 6 Road between Wireless Way and Commerce Parkway in East RIchmond and an interim extension of Lansdowne Road in City Centre. Imperial Paving, the city’s contractor, is scheduled to work Mondays to Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Paving is scheduled to continue until the
end of October. Work is weather dependent. Irving explained that crews avoid wet and cold weather, which can affect bonding and curing of asphalt, leaving the city with an inferior product that lasts a shorter time. According to the city, Imperial Paving will notify owners of properties that front roads set to be repaved. Parked vehicles are not permitted on the street while crews are working.

by Martin van den Hemel The Richmond man who butchered his three pets in 2011 has avoided any jail time. Kendal Goheen received a suspended sentence, along with a one-year term of probation, after pleading guilty to three counts of causing an animal to be in distress. Goheen, 52, appeared in Richmond provincial court earlier this month, where he was also barred from owning a pet for the next decade. Goheen’s ex-wife, Latia Del Rivier, contacted The Richmond Review shortly after her dog Maza and two cats, Pepper and Liston, were killed on Oct. 7, 2011 at Goheen’s home on Garden City Road. The incident happened shortly after Goheen lost his job. Goheen was also jailed in 2004 for his role in a botched drug purchase involving undercover U.S. federal agents. He had been arranging to buy 150 kilograms of cocaine and was carrying nearly $450,000 in cash. He was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to trying to buy the cocaine.

developing countries for children and adults who often go barefoot as they simply can’t afford shoes, “ Yau said. “We take so much for granted, especially basic necessities such as shoes and clothing, so this was an opportunity to give back as a community.” With more than 600 pairs of shoes collected at Lord Byng alone, the founder of Ruben’s Shoes, Kelly Strongitharm, appeared at the school, joined by the rest of her team: Desiree Dupuis and Crystal Bublé, sister of crooner Michael Bublé. In total, more than 2,000 pairs of shoes have been collected through the overall community effort. Ruben’s Shoes was founded this year, after Strongitharm, co-founder of Three Sixty Financial Group, met the young boy she’d been sponsoring through World Vision in December of 2012. “Seeing how radically different life in the Dominican is, Kelly felt compelled to do something to give back to the community that affected her life so profoundly and thus Ruben’s Shoes was born,” according to a website (tinyurl.com/RubensShoes) about the initiative. Anyone interested in participating can still drop off their gently-used shoes to a drop-box at Lord Byng Elementary, 3711 Georgia St., or to the Steveston Community Centre, at 4111 Moncton St.
Lansdowne Rd.
What began as one elementary school’s bid to help out a developing country wound up blossoming into something much bigger. In April, Lord Byng Elementary school started a community shoe drive, gathering gently used footwear for residents of the Dominican Republic. When four other elementary schools learned of the initiative—Garden City, McKinney, Hamilton and Westwind— they jumped on board. From there, Steveston, Thompson and West Richmond community centres also joined in, and soon word about the shoe drive had the community buzzing. “Some individuals actually went out and bought new kids shoes and donated them with the box and bag,” said parent Janet Yau, Lord Byng’s parent advisory council fundraising chair. “It was a good opportunity to raise awareness about the need of shoes in

EDITORIAL: If we are stuck with the Senate, then at least keep senators on a tight leash
P
rime Minister Stephen Harper tried to distance his office from the growing scandal involving Senator Mike Duffy on Tuesday, but while his words may have soothed Conservative MPs and senators, they don’t wash with taxpayers.
Harper said there needs to be a tightening of the rules regarding expenses. He sounded angry that some members of his government continued to fleece taxpayers. While his anger is welcome, action would be preferable. Yes, the rules regarding expenses need to be tightened. There also needs to be far more accountability than there is now, and that includes accountability from the prime min-
ister’s office. Harper’s former chief of staff, Nigel Wright, resigned Sunday after it was learned that he had written a personal $90,000 cheque to Senator Mike Duffy, allowing Duffy to withdraw from an audit into his housing allowance. Whether or not Harper knew of the cheque, it is obvious that his top aide both wrote the cheque and had no problem with Duffy unilaterally shutting down an audit, by repaying the housing allowance. The problem is that MPs and senators do not disclose all their expenses. Every single item they bill to taxpayers, whether it be a $15 glass of orange juice or a $90,000 housing allowance, needs to be itemized and posted online as soon as payment has been made. Then taxpayers can find out for themselves how these people
spend our money, and draw their own conclusions. A further probe may reveal all the details, but it seems obvious that Wright wrote a cheque to Duffy to specifically prevent information from being released. This is unacceptable. Duffy and Senator Pamela Wallin (both former members of the media), who racked up $300,000 in expenses in less than two years, have left the Conservative caucus. But they continue to sit as senators, as do Patrick Brazeau, who was kicked out of the Conservative caucus due to criminal charges he is facing, and former Liberal Senator Mac Harb, who is under investigation for use of the housing allowance. All four of these people need to resign from the Senate. In addition, Harper should not appoint
any more senators until a whole new set of rules are in place to ensure that there is 100 per cent transparency and accountability for all MPs and senators, and indeed for all senior officials of the federal government. The Senate may be a joke to most Canadians, but we are stuck with it, since reform or abolition will require virtually unanimous agreement from provinces. If we are stuck with it, let’s ensure that senators are on a tight leash as far as expenses go, and let’s at the same time ensure there is accountability and transparency for the expenses of all MPs, senators and senior government officials. Taxpayers deserve to have their funds spent carefully and judiciously, and to know exactly how those funds are spent. —Black Press

very morning for the past two months, I get out of bed and stumble weary-eyed to the kitchen where I pour myself a bowl of granola, add some banana and plain yoghurt.
Then, I clean and chop four leaves of kale and steam it. This amount of kale in the morning has made a huge difference in my energy levels. It’s a miracle food. In fact, everyone should stop eating everything else and just switch to eating kale. I’m on the kale diet. There are so many fad diets that are on the market these days. I find that diets really irk me because many are based on the ‘good’ and ‘bad and not the whole food. Are there really ‘good’ fats or ‘bad’ fruits? It’s all food. At the end of the day, a balanced diet of whole, unprocessed foods with lots of fruit and veggies
Maybe we need to recall the messages from the past and go back to the basics or maybe just eat a whole lot of kale.
is a simple way of looking at it. Consider the idea of balance between your carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, with about 30 minutes of exercise a day, and a whack of greens, your health should be golden. So why are people making poor choices about their food and diet? First thing is that we have a perceived abundance of choice. The diversity of food products at our supermarkets belies the fact that most processed foods are variations on a theme of corn and soya. As noted in a previous article, the amount of food diversity in our fruits, vegetables, and meats has diminished over time. Although the choices seem abundant, processed foods
do not make for healthy choices. In our grandparents era people were connected with food by growing and buying directly from the farmer. In today’s society everything comes pre-made, pre-washed, pre-chopped from the store which creates a disconnect from our food. Secondly, we live in a modern Western culture which ennobles an unattainable ideal body image of thin and muscular. We know that most models in advertisements put themselves through incredible lengths to obtain and maintain their bodies. These images are then subjected to alteration through computer programs, lighting and makeup. The ensuing result, none of it is real, but sold as real.
This body image is another strong driver for making poor diet choices. Thirdly, the science of nutrition is complex. Many of the breakthroughs in nutrition science have revolutionized our understanding of how our bodies work and the building blocks of healthy living. However, simplifying these very complex actions into smaller parts does not help to give us healthy choices or how to eat. For example, blueberries contain antioxidants; they have the ability to neutralize harmful molecules in our cells. There are many questions that we need to ask ourselves, which is better for us, food in its natural form or the food that has added antioxidants? Simple messages seem to
work well for most people. As time goes by we get inundated with more information about the nutrition of food. Maybe we need to recall the messages from the past and go back to the basics or maybe just eat a whole lot of kale. In any event, I’ll be waiting with great expectation for the next diet fad to be no diet fads at all.

Why is farmland being abused? Editor: “East Richmond farm now a garbage dump,” May 8. Three cheers for Richmond agriculturist Bill Jones for opening the eyes of your readers to the very unbalanced actions of the pressure group Farm Watch, and an accolade to The Richmond Review for giving Mr. Jones an opportunity to say his piece. What has disappointed me in the past has been the publicity given to Ray Galawan and his fellow protester, Mike Featherstone of Farm Watch by Richmond papers, and how the former's distortion of the facts has been swallowed by the latter and also by many letter writers to these papers. What Mr. Jones and his partners are planning for the land they have leased has been approved by the necessary authorities, and anyone with a glimmer of common sense could see that the contentious access road Farm Watch are up in arms about, is as easily removed as laid. If there is a travesty occurring on Finn Road it is the current building of two gigantic 'farmhouses' on the side opposite the Farm Watch's blockade. Now that The Review has given us Mr. Jones's response, may I propose some real investigative reporting takes place. The ALR is a very grey area to most of us and it would be most helpful if a reporter did some digging and came up with a story which explained why farmland is being abused or disappearing with no visible signs of resistance. A start would be a list from Agricultural Land Commission showing the addresses of farms (with photographs) that have been given a stop work order in the past 10 years, and a short account of the present position.

must be on their own dime so that a modicum of “punishment” might be meted out to them for their idiocy. As a veteran of the Korean War, I take exception to those who profess to be Canadians but spit on the graves of their countrymen (and women) who stepped forward and said, “Ready, Aye, Ready” by not voting. I suppose these are the same ones who see little merit in attending a Cenotaph on Remembrance Day or who claim that Cenotaphs put out the wrong message. Were I king for a day, I would. . .

letters Pollsters have egg on their faces Editor: Well, the election is finally over. What a surprise? Anyway, the people have spoken. The polls, pundits and the media were all predicting an NDP government. However, once the votes were counted, it emerged as a completely different story. This has prompted a lot of navel gazing
not only for the NDP but also for the pollsters and political pundits. First in Quebec, then in Alberta and now in BC, the pollsters have egg on their faces. Anyway, provincially, the B.C. Liberals must be congratulated for an impressive victory. Also, all of our local candidates, who ran under different party banners

Editor: Having had time to catch my breath and reflect on the provincial election last week, I must say how very impressed I was with all my fellow candidates in the Richmond-Steveston riding. All are clearly very passionate about helping build a strong community and for that I think we are all very fortunate. I'm humbled by the more than 1,700 voters in this riding who cast their ballot for me and the vision of a sustainable future put forward by the Green Party of B.C. We made history in B.C. and Canada and will take a moment to celebrate before getting back to task of continuing to build strong communities by working together. To each of these 1,700 voters, thank you for exercising your right to vote and refusing to become part of the 48 per cent who didn't vote on Election Day. You are democracy! Now I'm back to focusing on family, friends and serving you as a community volunteer. Jerome Dickey Green Party of B.C. candidate for Richmond-Steveston

MLA humbled by voters’ support Editor: The voters of Richmond Steveston have spoken and I am humbled by their support. I would like to express heartfelt thanks to them for their confidence in electing me. On their behalf I will do my very best to represent them in Victoria. To the staff and many volunteers who came forward to assist with my campaign, I say a big thank you! We couldn’t have succeeded without you. Many of you spent hundreds of hours contributing to the campaign and I sincerely thank each of you. To my fellow elected Richmond B.C. Liberal candidates, Linda Reid and Teresa Wat: Congratulations! I look forward to working with you as a team to advance issues of importance to our community. To the other candidates from the other parties who ran in Richmond Steveston, I thank you for participating in the democratic process. Our community and province are the better for it.

Fresh is first at Super Seafoods
Family-run store shifts spots at Blundell Centre
It’s been nearly a quarter century since Super Seafoods first opened its doors at Blundell Centre. One customer revealed the
family-operated store’s secret to success. For 15 years, the man who lives in the Seafair neighbourhood of Richmond, has trekked toward
the middle of town for his seafood. “It’s not because it’s the cheapest, but because it’s the best,” the man said of the store’s offerings of fresh seafood. “Sure, you can walk to one of the large grocery stores and find lower prices. But you get what you pay for,” he said. And at Jennifer Yoo’s store, what’s for sale truly is super. From wild salmon to halibut filets, Super Seafoods’ offerings are fresher and flakier, the man said. When it comes to seafood, freshness is the key, and it’s that mindset that Yoo has been bringing to Super Seafoods for
more than 23 years. Yoo knows most of her customers by their first name, and lives by the philosophy of treating her customers as she would like to be treated, which means a warm smile and respect whenever they enter her store. Super Seafoods is located at Unit 115 - 6020 Blundell Road, recently moving from its previous spot at Blundell Centre to a nearby location, next to the neighboring Safeway, facing Blundell Road. The store offers a full selection of Japanese groceries, and packs seafood for air travel. It offers

everything from B.C. prawn and tiger prawn to sable fish, scallops, red snapper and cod. It also specializes in frozen and smoked salmon and live crabs. The store is open from Monday to Saturday. For more information, call them at 604-271-1424.

Traumatic brain injury caused cyclist’s death by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A coroner’s report into the death of an East Richmond man who was cycling with his two young children when he fell to the ground in August of 2012, notes the condition of the pedestrian overpass where the accident occurred could cause “significant difficulty” for a bicycle rider. Ming Leong, 64, suffered a fatal head injury during the incident at the Gates Avenue pedestrian overpass of Highway 91 on Aug. 14, 2012, a bright, sunny, summer mid-afternoon. “As he descended the ramp near the end of the overpass, he fell from his bicycle and struck his head on a metal hand railing,” wrote B.C. Coroner Lisa Graham. “He was not wearing a helmet at the time of this incident
and suffered a serious laceration to his head.” An off-duty nurse came to Leong’s side, and he was rushed to hospital, but he had suffered an “inoperable traumatic brain injury,” Graham wrote. “The location at which the overpass cement ends and the walkway concrete converge shows evidence of buckling and cracking. A bicycle rider who is not aware of this damage ahead of time, and traveling at moderate rate of speed, may have significant difficulty controlling their bicycle,. But she also noted that there are warning signs on the overpass. “On both sides of the overpass are located signs that read, ‘cyclists dismount to cross pedestrian overpass.’” Meanwhile, the City of Richmond is aware of the coroner’s report and considering what
actions to take, if any, in response. City spokesperson Ted Townsend said the city has previously been in discussions with the Ministry of Transporation about the incident, and which parts of the pedestrian overpass fell within the ministry’s jurisdiction, and which was the city’s. City crews have addressed the “buckling and cracking”, and also have improved signs advising cyclists to dismount at the overpass, Townsend said. Leong’s death was classified as accidental, and Graham made no recommendations. The nurse who came to Leong’s side and comforted his 12-year-old daughter and six-yearold son, told The Review last year she’s seen injuries resulting from the steep ramp that leads too and from the overpass. Most times, it’s just

scraps and bruise. But Doris said this time, the outcome was tragic. “It’s horrible,” she said last summer. “The thing that sticks in my mind is that they (the children) were there watching him and no helmets...That could have saved his life.” While she views the overpass as fine for pedestrians, it’s too steep for inexperienced cyclists. “These people don’t realize you pick up a lot of speed coming down that hill,” said Doris, who asked that her last name not be published.

Bill Cosby brings standup show to River Rock Multimedia A comedian celebrating his 50th year in show business is coming to River Rock Show Theatre next Saturday. The legendary Bill Cosby will deliver two standup shows on June 1 at the Richmond venue. In 1962 Cosby left Philadelphia and began appearing at New York’s Gaslight Cafe. His comic routines were so successful that he soon became a coastto-coast sensation spawning a string of top-selling comedy albums. In 1965, he became the first African-American actor to star in a weekly television show. I Spy
ran on NBC for three seasons with Cosby winning three consecutive Emmy Awards. Three years later, he starred in his first sitcom, and he later created the animated Saturday morning show Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. He returned to the sitcom world in the ‘80s with The Cosby Show. A huge success, the show ran on NBC for eight seasons and is said to have single-handedly revived the family sitcom. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. Tickets start at $74.50, plus service charges, at ticketmaster.ca and 1-855-985-5000.

ome 200 people crowded into the rotunda at R.A. McMath Secondary School Wednesday evening to help recognize excellence in Richmond sport.
The 14th annual Richmond Sports Awards and Recognition Banquet recognized outstanding achievement in several categories, both in terms of athletic performance and the many and varied contributions by those behind the scenes. From graduating StevestonLondon Secondary student Anmol Mattu, who was recognized as the High School Female Athlete of the Year to, Jimmy Van Ostrand, a McMath grad from a decade ago who was applauded as the Adult Male Athlete of the Year to Special Olympian Magnus Batara who stood the swimming world on its head with six gold medals at the 2012 B.C.

Presented annually by The Richmond Review, Richmond Sports Council and the City of Richmond, the Richmond Sports Awards began in 1999 as an long overdue idea to honour at least some of the many outstanding field of athletes and volunteers. The first awards, ironically also held at McMath, were dedicated to Robert A. McMath, the former city councillor after whom the school is named. McMath was a visionary who was very much ahead of his time. Also an ardent sportsman and community soccer coach, he successfully promoted the concept of building parks and schools close together. For the last two years, the Leadership Class at McMath Secondary School has also contributed greatly to the awards and banquet which strive to recognize the efforts of all those in sport who exemplify and promote the qualities of sportsmanship, teamwork and leadership while teaching fairness and empathy.

Builders: Lance and Nancy Carey The husband-andwife team of Lance and Nancy Carey continue to be inspirations to players and peers alike. Lance is a former Canadian national men’s field hockey player, who competed for his country at the 1976 Olympic Summer Games in Montreal. The couple has long been a catalyst behind the success of the Richmond Field Hockey Club, and they continue to coach the game. In 2009, buoyed by his love and passion for the sport, as well as his vast knowledge and positive communication skills, Lance coached a young Richmond Ravens team to the Third Division championship and promotion next season to the Second Division in the Vancouver Women’s Field Hockey League. Players are unanimous in their opinion that the approach taken by Lance and Nancy continues to make them better players and better people—by encouraging them to always try their best.
Builder: Stu Corrigal It was back in March 1968 that Stu Corrigal began training in kyokushin karate at St. Anne’s Church Hall. Today, Corrigal travels the world as an executive referee in the sport and teaches worldwide tournament officiating. In 1983, Corrigal began the Canadian Kyokushin Karate Championships which were recently held for the 30th consecutive year.

Congratulations to the 2012 - 2013 Dynamo Fencing Club National Team members and to coach Victor Gantsevich
High School Female Athlete: Anmol Mattu, basketball
Anmol Mattu of the Steveston-London Sharks.
Set to launch her postsecondary basketball career this September at the University of Calgary, Anmol Mattu exemplifies effort. The greater the challenge, the more she thrives. Though only five-footthree, Mattu has reached heights many thought impossible or at the very least unlikely. She’s proven all of them wrong, and in 2012 as a Grade 11 student at Steveston Secondary helped Canada win bronze at the FIBA Americas Under-16 championships in Mexico. Les Hamaguchi, coach of the Steveston-London
Sharks, knew he was getting a talented player when Mattu enrolled at the local high school five years ago. What he didn’t know was her off-thecharts level of will and determination. She made the senior girls’ team as a Grade 8 student and continually matured as a player and person, ultimately leading the Sharks to the B.C. AAA championships this past season while leading the tournament in scoring. •Other finalists for the award were Katrina Tolentino (volleyball) and Rebecca Hansen (volleyball).

High School Male Athlete: Isaiah Solomon, basketball Isaiah Solomon recently completed a successful first season of postsecondary hoops at the University of B.C. As a T-Bird, the six-foot guard enjoyed an auspicious de-
but against Trinity Western with 20 points. Solomon, who began playing high school hoops at Hugh Boyd Secondary, capped an outstanding high school career in 2012
by leading the Vancouver College Fighting Irish to fourth place at the B.C. AAA boys’ championship, averaging 21 points per game along the way. The previous season he
helped power the Irish to second place against the R.C. Palmer Griffins. •Other finalists for the award were RJ Ramsey (volleyball) and Nick Fyffe (track and field).
Administrator of the Year: Terry Kehoe, football In addition to six years as coaching co-ordinator for Richmond Minor Football, and four as equipment manager, Terry Kehoe also started the local association’s Midget Division program in 1998. But one of his biggest contributions to the game may well have come in 2012 when he started the Juvenile Division program in the B.C. Football Conference. •Other finalists for the award were Keith Dawson (baseball) and Linda Hilts (triathlon).

Junior Male Athlete: Troy Stecher, hockey Averaging 30 minutes a game and playing in all situations, 18-year-old defenceman Troy Stecher was the captain of the Penticton Vees this past season, after being instrumental in Penticton winning the B.C. Hockey League championship in 2011-12 and then going on to win the national Royal Bank Cup in which Stecher was named top defenceman. Stecher is also a twotime World Junior A Challenge medallist, winning silver with Team Canada West last season. •Other finalists for the award were Ryan Shields (baseball) and Joshua Stuart (gymnastics).
After a pair of stellar seasons with the Penticton Vees, Troy Stecher is off to the University of North Dakota.
Junior Female Athlete: Summer Clarke, soccer Having recently accepted a full four-year scholarship to Louisiana State University, Summer Clarke is the latest in an athletic family to suit up for Canada. And like her older brother Caleb, a promising member of the Vancouver Whitecaps of Major League Soccer, Summer shows similar natural goalscoring instincts. She led Canada’s under-17 squad with a club-record seven goals at the 2012 CONCACAF women’s under-17 championship in Guatemala and at the World Cup last summer in Azerbaijan. Though CLARKE
she helped lead her club team, Richmond Red Hot Selects to five straight metro championships from U14 to U18, Summer
didn’t expect to become such a prominent player at the national and international level, at least not so soon.
•Other finalists for the award were Noemie Thomas (swimming), Christine Wong (golf) and Jodi Gentile (hockey).

Good things come to those who wait.
Richmond Red Hot Selects U18.
Female Youth Team: Red Hot Selects U18, soccer Consistently one of the most successful teams over the past decade, Richmond Red Hot Selects capped their youth soccer journey last July in Kamloops with another victory—doubling the host Blaze 2-1 in the Provincial A Cup under-18 girls’ final. It was the Selects’ quick pace and positive mindset— and, of course, all that extra training—that netted them their second consecutive B.C. title. •Other finalists for this award were: Richmond Peewee Ravens (girls’ice hockey) and Richmond Kigoos’ Div. 1, 200 Freestyle relay team (swimming).
And by ‘good things’ we mean sweet, sweet cash.

With the launch of the provincial high performance soccer league this season, the chances of Richmond United repeating as champions of the under-18 boys’ Metro Division seemed in doubt. Although United lost several players to the new circuit, those who opted to stay (there were only 12 players on the roster to start the season) proved more than capable as the team not only defended its title but went on to win the Coastal Cup. •Other finalists for this award were: Richmond Broncos U14 (football), Kigoos’ Div. 5 freestyle relay, and Raiders’ 9-man Bantam (football).

In a last-shot-wins battle during which the teams combined for 98 shots, Richmond outlasted the Coquitlam Adanacs 9-8 to improve to 4-0 in the B.C. Intermediate A Lacrosse League. Jayden Campbell and Braeden Jensen each scored twice to pace Richmond, while Spencer Bromley, Connor Davidson, Wyatt Kinna, Matthew Sobey and Tyler Vogrig added a goal apiece. Bromley and Brad Hoffman each had three assists. A nailbiter than went back and forth. The game was tied 2-2 after a period with the host Adanacs enjoying a 6-5 advantage after two periods. But in the third, Richmond gained the lead late and held on for the win when Coquitlam was unable to score with control of the play with 30 seconds remaining.

‘Everything Vancouver has to offer’
Mixed-use housing comes to Dunbar Local developer Omicron is bringing the first mixed-use housing project since 2008 to the Dunbar neighbourhood with their 5555 Dunbar project, a collection of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes in a variety of floorplans. Located right next door to the Blaq Sheep Coffee House and Bistro and close to any other amenity you can possibly imagine, from restaurants to community centres to shopping to education and beyond, 5555 Dunbar is perfectly situated. “It has everything that Vancouver has to offer,” says Scott Brown, senior vice-president of residential and
commercial marketing services at Colliers International Marketing. “5555 Dunbar feels like single-family living and (the homes are) larger than you’d find downtown.” On June 1, the neighbourhood will host a block party to welcome 5555 Dunbar to the neighbourhood. Among the entertainment and activities will be an urban market, muralist, golfing station, live band and a barbecue, along with many others. The barbecue will be by donation, with all proceeds donated to the Vancouver Food Bank. Homes start at $349,000. For more information, visit www.5555dunbar. com or call 604-568-7551.
homeownership,” Paukkunen says. The Westbank name has been a huge part of the interest in 188 Keefer already. “The developments speak for themselves,” says Paukkunen. “They have incredible attention to detail and the quality is evident.” Past Westbank projects include Living Shangri-La Vancouver, Coal Harbour’s Shaw Tower and the Fairmont Pacific Rim. They are also
involved in the redevelopment of the iconic Woodward’s property in downtown Vancouver. Sales will begin soon, Paukkunen says, and the presentation centre at the corner of Main Street and Keefer Street is slated to open in the near future. Homes start at $239,900 for a one-bedroom and $399,900 for a two-bedroom. To register for more information, visit www.188keefer.com or call 604-620-2018.
‘Location is really an advantage’
Achievable living at Westbank’s 188 Keefer By Kerry Vital
Vancouver’s historic Chinatown is welcoming a newcomer to its midst with Westbank’s 188 Keefer, a stunning addition to a community already known for its friendly atmosphere. “This is an amenity-rich neighbourhood that’s poised for tremendous growth,” says Alexa Paukkunen, sales and marketing director for Magnum Projects. “Chinatown has such a storied heritage.” With restaurants, cultural activities and shopping right on your doorstep, living at 188 Keefer gives you a downtown Vancouver experience without being right in the hustle and bustle. “The location is really an advantage,” says Paukkunen. The one- and two-bedroom homes will feature spacious floorplans ranging from approximately 460 to over 1,000 square feet. Retail space will be located on the ground floor of the 17-storey building, with 156 homes in total. Two different levels of interior specifications are available, divided into tower and podium homes depending on which floor you purchase on. The podium homes up to the ninth floor will include polished granite countertops, premium plank vinyl flooring and stainless-steel appliances, among several other beautiful features, while the tower homes will feature engineered hardwood flooring, Miele and Blomberg stainless-steel appliances and Corian countertops. Tower homes are located on the upper floors. No matter where in the building

Place and the North Shore Mountains. A concrete feature wall will be included on the tower that will be home to a public art installation by Vancouver artist Ron Terada. In the building, homeowners will find nearly 4,000 square feet of amenity space, including a huge outdoor terrace, indoor lounge and fitness facility. The outdoor space will include a children’s play area, urban garden plots, outdoor barbecue, fireplace and seating area, while the indoor lounge will feature a large living room seating area, flatscreen TV, kitchen space and a dining room perfect for entertaining. “This is a unique opportunity to be able to afford a home in a unique community,” Paukkunen says. “It’s an achievable price point and an achievable downpayment option.” Indeed, buyers are able to own at 188 Keefer with just five per cent down, something that is rarely seen in the Lower Mainland’s housing market. “We want to minimize the (financial) threshold to get people into

Five major singers and teen idols from Taiwan and China made their appearance last week at Aberdeen Centre of Richmond to promote Fairchild Radio’s 20th anniversary special – the Global Chinese Golden Chart North America Concert. Hundreds of young fans had waited for hours before meeting their beloved idols face to face, and they were not disappointed. The five stars appearing were Will Pan, Aaron Yan, LaLa Hsu, Yisa Yu and Hu Xia.
