$28m autism centre planned State-of-the-art facility eyed for Sea Island by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

‘Rollergirls’ raise regular ruckus at Richmond rink The sport of roller derby fills stands at Minoru Arenas It’s a night of banging, crashing and frenzied action in Richmond when a little known sport takes over Minoru Arenas. But the popularity of women’s roller derby is growing—as witnessed by fans who filled the local venue last weekend for a battle of global proportions. The Terminal City All-Stars hosted London Brawling for a match. Boasting a much higher international rank, the foreign squad took it to the local women by a score of 202-69. But for many fans, the final score is secondary to the entertainment offered by the contact sport. Roller derby is a series of races between

two teams who skate in the same direction around a track, in which points are scored by designated players able to battle through the pack. A contest can look like a no-holdsbarred free-for-all, but rules cover everything from gameplay to behaviour. Blocking is legal, but players can’t grab, pull or trip. The local team that skated at Minoru June 1 features some of the best players in Vancouver’s Terminal City Rollergirls league. Created in 2006, the league boasts approximately 100 competitors with tough-as-nails names, including Flower Plow’her, Walker Texas Mangle’her and Buffy Sainte Fury. —Matthew Hoekstra

Construction of a new 58,000-square-foot centre for the study, treatment and assessment of autism, could begin on Sea Island in the next three months. Sergio Cocchia, co-founder of the Pacific Autism Family Centre Foundation, said the $28-million facility was originally slated to be built in Vancouver, but a change-of-heart involving one of the project’s partners led the foundation to try to secure a property in Richmond. Cocchia met with members of Richmond council at a general purposes committee meeting on Monday, at which he presented his plans and said he received a great response. “They were incredibly supportive,” Cocchia said. As long as there aren’t any hiccups in the coming weeks—the deal on the property should finalize in the next six weeks—Cocchia hopes to break ground on the project in as little as three months. The project is buoyed by last year’s $20 million grant from Victoria. The vision for the centre is that it becomes the hub for autism services in B.C. See Page 3

Food blogger Lindsay Anderson’s year-long campaign wrapped up this week, and the vast majority of the 365 restaurants she dined at deserved praise. Among her experiences (clockwise from left): holding an Alaskan king crab at Lucky Tao, enjoying her first meal of the campaign at Sun Sui Wah Seafood Restaurant and celebrating her 100th day with a cake from Diplomat Bakery.

Food blogger’s year with Richmond ends Lindsay Anderson got to know city well while dining at 365+ restaurants over the past year by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Before she set out on her year-long exploration of local eateries, food blogger Lindsay Anderson didn’t know much about Richmond, its restaurants or residents. This week, her journey came to an end—some 400 meals later—and thanks to having spent seven-days-per-week in Richmond over the past year, she’s gotten to know the city and its people really well. “I learned a lot more about Asian cuisine than I thought was possible,” Anderson said just before heading into another media interview Thursday morning. Anderson won the $50,000 job posted by Tourism Richmond last year to eat at one local restaurant per day for an entire year, an effort to boost Richmond’s profile

on the national and international scene. But Anderson’s profile has also grown, as people would recognize her in the community, ask her questions and make suggestions about places to visit. “It exceeded my expectations,” she said Thursday of the experience. She’s tried many new foods, including sea urchin, durian, duck feet and squid guts. And she’s added many dishes to her list of favourite comfort foods. This week, she got to go spot prawn fishing with fisherman Frank from Organic Ocean, adding to her adventures that also included whale watching—no, she didn’t eat an Orca—visiting an indoor trampoline park, an indoor beach volleyball centre, and attending an opera at Minoru Chapel. She also repeatedly visited Richmond’s

two night markets. And while it involved a whole lot of fun and great foods, it was still work. “It was definitely a job, seven days a week,” she said, adding how she constant-

“I learned a lot more about Asian cuisine than I thought was possible.” – Lindsay Anderson ly explored different parts of the city, and brainstormed new content. “I think I got to know Richmond on a level that I hadn’t expected.” And while she can count on two hands how many eateries didn’t deserve praise, the vast majority were excellent, with the

remainder being at least average. So how did she perform her job without adding too many excess calories? Anderson said she focused on regular exercise, cycled a lot—made convenient by Richmond’s lack of hills—and raved about the Richmond Olympic Oval, to which she received a membership. And her strategy involved starting her day by eating as many healthy things as possible—salads and power fruit smoothies galore—since she never knew precisely what type of deep-fried, greasy or salty foods might be on her menu. But she purposely avoided obsessing about healthy eating, and was reluctant to give up her cake and cookies. “I tried to keep a balance and managed to do that quite well,” she said. Anderson’s blog is www.365daysofdining. com.

Autism centre aims to help families across the province From Page 1 The plan is for three additional spokes to be opened sometime this year, and that a total of eight will eventually be created across B.C. “We are extremely proud of this unique, not-for-profit charity, which will serve those across their lifespan,” he said at the committee meeting. “Included in our mission is to support related diagnoses such as developmental disabilities. Providing support for those in need is the mandate.” Cocchia and his wife, Wendy, have a son who is on the autism spectrum.

But they have the resources to assist their son, while others aren’t as fortunate. “We are aware of what happens to other families out there.” He’s hopeful the new centre will bring people and families together, and provide them with support and access to services. The foundation is a parent-led initiative that began three years ago, when it gathered some 85 experts, family representatives and groups, and spoke to them about problems with current autism service delivery. The centre will help steer parents through

the difficult autism world and help doctors and researchers access unbiased information. It will feature a lending library, a 24-hour autism line, a treatment centre, beforeand-after school care, recreational activities and a lifespan centre, providing vocational assistance and support for those 18 and older. The centre will also enable universities, colleges, behaviourists and student education assistants to obtain hands-on experience with children. The centre’s proximity to the airport will

make it accessible for families across the province. According to the foundation, autism spectrum disorder is a developmental condition that affects one in 88 children, with symptoms appearing in the first three years of life. Autism is a neuro-developmental disorder whose cause remains a mystery, but current research suggests has both an environmental and genetic component. The disorders are characterized by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and non-verbal communication and repetitive behaviours.

No public hearing on coal exports, port insists Critics speak against new coal terminal, cite climate change by Jeff Nagel Black Press Port Metro Vancouver CEO Robin Silvester stood firm Tuesday against calls from coal export opponents for public hearings into a planned new coal export terminal in Surrey. Critics of the proposal by Fraser Surrey Docks spoke at the port authority’s annual general meeting in Vancouver, most stressing concerns over climate change if more coal from the U.S. is exported through Metro Vancouver and burned in Asia. Silvester said there will be no public hearing because there’s no legislative trigger for one as Fraser Surrey Docks is an existing facility and coal has been exported through the region “for decades” without difficulty. The proposed terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks would export an additional four million tonnes of coal per year, an increase of less than 10 per cent in the port’s overall coalhandling capacity. Critics say the port should have held formal public hearings on the proposed new terminal, rather than let proponent Fraser Surrey Docks lead open houses.

Jeff Nagel photo Two Vancouver women who identified themselves as “Barb and Barb” sing their critique to port officials.

Metro Vancouver’s board has agreed to hold a public meeting on the issue June 14. Surrey resident and Burns Bog Conservation Society member Steve Faraher-Amidon told the AGM he’s concerned about the port’s lack of transparency on the project and suggested full public hearings would bolster the credibility of the port’s eventual decision. Vancouver’s Sam Harrison asked if the port could conclude it has broad public support if it green lights the

Surrey terminal based on the reaction to date. Port officials said it was hard to accurately gauge the public mood. Two women in colourful hats used verse to make their point, singing: “Port authority what are you thinking? Are you responsible? If so to whom? Do you answer to Harper only, what happens when global warming catches up and lowers the boom?” Others said the port’s aim for sustainable growth should be replaced

with a goal of “sustainable shrinkage.” A Surrey woman living adjacent to Fraser Surrey Docks said the industrial area should instead become a waterfront park. Silvester said those concerned about climate change from coal should take up that issue with the federal government—the port’s role is to foster the efficient flow of trade, not reject certain types of cargo. Issues that are beyond the port’s jurisdiction are being relayed to Ottawa, he said.

The potential health hazard from coal dust along the BNSF rail line through White Rock and South Surrey was also raised by a few speakers at the meeting. But Eric Seiz, president of the Crescent Beach Property Owners’ Association, told the port his group’s issue isn’t coal dust but all trains whistling and blocking the two level crossings that are the only way in and out of the South Surrey neighbourhood. “Fundamentally, we have no position on what’s sent,” Seiz said. “It’s just how it’s sent in terms of quality of life.” Seiz said many more trains now roll through and they must whistle four times approaching each level crossing, translating into at least 150 horn toots a day. He urged the port to consider an underpass to separate trains from road traffic entering Crescent Beach, adding the BNSF north-south line taking cargo to and from the U.S. hasn’t received the hundreds of millions of dollars that has been poured into overpasses along the east-west Roberts Bank rail corridor. Deltaport critic Roger Emsley also urged the port to address the rush hour “chaos” being caused on Highway 99 at the Massey Tunnel by container trucks congesting the area. “You’re expanding, it’s getting worse.” Emsley said. “When is Port Metro Vancouver going to get serious about looking at the alternatives, such as short-sea shipping or shorthaul rail, or ensuring that those trucks are not using the Massey Tunnel during the peak hours?”

Volunteers get hands dirty at Sharing Farm for Day of Caring

Asphalt paving advisory May 6 to June 30, 2013

Second annual event allows local organizations to engage with the community The Day of Caring, an event that highlights employer-supported volunteerism and its impact on the community, will mark its second year on Saturday, June 8, at the Sharing Farm. Over 100 volunteers from nearly a dozen Richmond businesses took part in last year’s event, also held at the Sharing Farm, where they spent a morning in the fields digging, weeding, and planting for a great cause. “Employer-supported volunteerism is on the rise, and for good reason,” said Elizabeth Specht, executive director of Volunteer Richmond Information Services. “For businesses, the benefits are clear: increased employee morale and productivity, a greater sense of loyalty to the company. Of course, all of this contributes to a business’s profitability.” The Day of Caring is part of the Richmond Caring Companies program, presented by Volunteer Richmond, the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, and Ashton Service Group. Through the program, which involves a series of workshops and one-on-one consultations, local businesses learn how to engage their employees by having them engage with the community. “The Caring Companies program has shown us that Richmond is home to a diverse group of businesses—large and small, from all industries—that are truly committed to this community,” said Specht. The following businesses will have volunteers at farm: Back In Motion, Beavis Wong and Associates, Innovation Networks, Misty Mountain Specialties, Opacity Design Group, Sandman Signature Hotel and Resort Vancouver Airport, Sutton Group – Seafair Realty, and Scotiabank. The third Richmond Caring Companies cam-

During a secondary search, border officers found two kilograms of a substance they believed was opium. The investigation was then turned over to the Greater Vancouver drug section of the RCMP. Hadady appeared in Richmond provincial court last week, when he was sentenced after pleading guilty to one count of importing a controlled substance. Aside from the prison sentence, Hadady is banned from possessing a firearm for 10 years. Crown counsel Margaret Loda was unavailable for comment, and Hadady’s lawyer, Chester Bridal, declined to comment about the case.

Silvester said they were unable to provide him any evidence that existing coal shipments pose any significant health risk to residents, nor has such evidence been heard through the review process.

Port authority officials have previously said environmental reviews conducted as part of the proposal already address health concerns. Coal trains already roll through various rail lines in the region. Some also take the BNSF rail line to Westshore Terminals open-air coal terminal at Deltaport, where more than

23 million tonnes was handled last year. Coal is also hauled to North Vancouver to Neptune Terminals, which the port authority recently approved an expansion. Smaller amounts of coal have also been shipped for Teck Resources out of Port Moody’s Pacific Coast Terminals over the past two years.

EDITORIAL: Long-term funding fix needed for B.C.’s education system

ducation was hardly a burning issue in the provincial election, leaving many educators, trustees and administrators—not to mention parents—scratching their heads.

Cash-strapped school districts from around B.C. were expecting to hear something specific about a long-term vision for funding a 21st century education system. But whatever was in the political kit bags of the two party front-runners was lost in debates over who would better handle the economy.

many clubs and sporting events being cancelled? It was drowned out by political recriminations on both sides. Now though, Premier Christy Clark is re-floating an earlier trial balloon to seek a 10-year labour agreement with teachers. While it’s true that labour peace would surely benefit the education system, it’s hard to see how making the B.C. Teachers’ Federation eat crow so soon after the election (many teachers thought they’d be dealing with a friendly NDP government) is going to bring this about. And because the issue hardly

came up, it’s hard to argue the 10-year deal is part of her mandate. For many people, what’s needed first is a new, more equitable funding formula that doesn’t pit urban school districts against rural districts for scarce cash. Once a long-term vision for funding is revealed, then Clark might be in a better position to work with teachers on the vaunted 10-year labour deal. But until then, all she’ll accomplish with re-writing the teachers’ labour contract is more instability in schools. So, um, good luck with that. —Tri-City News

Meanwhile, districts across the province are slashing budgets to keep spending in line with funding. Districts are cutting back and few would argue that the education system is awash in cash. Rather, it is merely holding the line while expectations for smaller classes, support for special needs and help for children with learning disabilities, technology and other demands increase. So where was the talk about building a sustainable funding system for schools? Where was the leadership given last year’s labour unrest that resulted in

on West was one of the nicest guys around. The longtime Black Press employee died suddenly two weeks ago at Surrey Memorial Hospital, where he had been scheduled to undergo a routine operation. He was 55.

He had spent the past quarter-century doing a variety of tasks at newspaper offices, from courier work to photography and darkroom efforts. Darkrooms, of course, are a thing of the past at newspapers these days, as are the film cameras that were the mainstay of photographers for many years. Ron loved to take photos. That’s how we met, when I worked as editor at The Richmond Review’s sister paper The SurreyNorth Delta Leader. He knew that newspapers welcomed photos taken at fires, car crashes and

other high-profile public incidents, and he started to supply us with a steady stream of them. It didn’t seem to matter what time of day (or usually night) these incidents occurred, he would be there taking photos and bringing them in to us. Then, as now, there was no shortage of police and fire-related incidents in Surrey and Delta, and it was a rare week when we didn’t get a good photo from him that we could use somewhere in the paper. As it was an age before the Internet, the newspaper or TV newscasts were the only places where people could see visual images of these types of incidents. Ron was often on scene with Gary Hanney, a longtime BCTV camera operator who frequently attended breaking news events in Surrey. The role Ron played in obtaining those photos in those situations cannot be underestimated. They were often tricky situations. But they were like gold for the newspaper. The Leader was competing for the attention of busy Surrey residents, and while they may not have been interested in the doings of council, they had far more interest in the major car crash, fire or train derailment (Ron attended several of those) that occurred down the street or even a few miles away. Ron continued to do this work, but was around often enough that he

Ron West had a knack for getting great photos.

branched into helping out in the darkroom and doing courier work. At that time, all of the Leader’s production work was done in Abbotsford, and that necessitated several runs a day to and from the office there. There were also regular runs to other newspapers in the group. A newspaper is the result of work of many people, from the reporter and photographer to the sales representative and,

ultimately, to the carrier. Ron was an integral part of making sure the papers were produced, printed and delivered. When I first met him, he lived in Newton, and he later lived in Whalley for many years. He had no immediate family in B.C. He loved to take photos of animals and frequently visited Stanley Park to see and photograph the squirrels. He was a hard worker, who worked at numer-

ous other jobs to pay the bills. Most recently, he was employed as a dishwasher at Montana’s in South Surrey. I never heard him complain about anything. He was cheerful and had a smile on his face. He knew everybody in the local Black Press organization and got along with everyone. Like everyone else, I was shocked to hear of his death. I’d just seen him a few days before and, as usual, he didn’t mention any personal issues. He did his job, kept smiling and headed off to his next stop. There are a lot of people like Ron who make our businesses, schools, organizations and non-profits succeed. They don’t get a lot of glory, but they are the heart and soul of organizations. That’s why Ron is so sorely missed, by so many of us. Frank Bucholtz is the editor of The Langley Times.

Stop the bleeding and withhold oval subsidies

Fresh Values in Store This Week!

Editor: Recent newspaper announcements by the elite oval board of directors indicate a profit of $3,066,824. My only trusted councillor informs me that the taxpayer subsidy was $3.2 million. I understand this does not include the property tax exemption of approximately $1 million. Another newspaper article indicates a taxpayer subsidy of $5.6 million, which was one half of the operating costs. May we suggest that if the council and mayor, who reportedly cannot obtain meeting minutes, stop the bleeding by simply withhold all subsidies? It may be then the board of directors will be responsible for the debt, if in fact they have not covered their liabilities. What are the facts? It can be suggested that this is another ongoing “infantile disorder.” Dale T. Pitts Richmond

letters Searching for relatives of Earl English

Garden City lands hold much promise for food security

Editor: I am writing to you in the hope that your readers may be able to help me with some research I am undertaking into the wartime Royal Air Force, and one particular operation carried out in May 1943. Amongst the crews who trained for it was a Warrant Officer Earl Thomas English of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Earl was born in Lytton, B.C. in November 1919, and after his parents died at an early age, he and his sister were raised by their grandparents. After studying at Vancouver College and University of B.C. he became an apprentice pharmacist, before joining the RCAF in June 1940 in Vancouver. He flew operationally from England

Editor: I was part of a community group which produced the 2006 Richmond Food System Assessment, along with the late Mary Gazetas, and Arzeena Hamir, who is now farming near Courtenay. Around the time the report was presented to Richmond city council, we met with the then federal minister of Agriculture, Chuck Strahl, to propose an innovative sustainable food system centre for the Garden City lands. I am alarmed that the city ‘s website on planning for the Garden City lands contains none of the recent history of the lands and the long fight to keep it in the Agricultural Land Reserve. There is a wonderful opportunity to do something special and world-class on these lands. In collaboration with community partners, Richmond could showcase the unique natu-

as a navigator, and having completed his tour of operations returned to Canada in late 1943. After the war he returned to the UBC to complete his studies, and in 1955, took up a position as assistant clinical pathologist at the Vancouver General Hospital, later being appointed head of the hospital’s new microchemistry laboratory. I know that Earl passed away at the end of March 1989 in Richmond aged 69, but I am hoping that some of your readers might remember him, and will be able to put me in touch with any surviving relatives. The only information I have on his sister is that her name began with an “A.” Alex Bateman North Harrow, Middlesex, UK

ral features of the site (Michael Wolfe’s tour opened my eyes to this), create marvelous outdoor community space, as well as a showcase for emerging urban agriculture development, which will become increasingly important to Richmond with its ever-growing population. Residents of all ages and incomes could learn how to grow, cook and consume more of their own food. Let’s dream of a future where food is rarely transported thousands of miles, and only when it cannot be produced locally. Let’s dream of a future when there is no need for the charity model of food banks and community meals. In an area of such wealth, both natural and monetary, surely we can do something truly amazing on the Garden City lands for the benefit of the whole community. Mary Phillips Richmond

Up until not so long ago, the world was quite different. No cars, computers, phones and many other things. Daylight was the sun and at night the moon, on a cloudy night a candle perhaps. There were no texts. People talked and made personal time. There were no e-mails, so there were letters and the content still sincere after all the travel. Men were out there working away and were titled the breadwinners. Times changed of course. Electricity, phones, computers and e-mails to name a few and then there were video games. Some men no longer went out and simply just played. They forgot to go out there and evolve. Boys remained boys. And that is how breadwinners became bread wieners. That’s how hot dogs came about.

Metro Vancouver short lists waste-to-energy bidders Mass-burn incinerators, Delta cement plant advance by Jeff Nagel Black Press The company that operates Metro Vancouver’s existing garbage incinerator is one of several bidders now short-listed by the regional district to build a new waste-to-energy plant. Covanta Energy has hedged its bets with two proposals that were short-listed by Metro—one for a mass-burn incinerator and the other to build a gasification plant. A total of 10 proposals out of the 22 received have been short-listed based on proponents’ proven track record converting garbage into energy and the expertise of their teams. Metro intends to add 370,000 tonnes per year of new waste-toenergy capacity, but the project is controversial and under steady attack from Fraser Valley critics over air quality concerns as well as others who see incineration as a threat to increased recycling. Seven of the 10 proposals are for mass-burn incinerators. Besides Covanta, they include engineering giant Aecom, Plenary

Metro Vancouver’s existing waste incinerator in south Burnaby burns 280,000 tonnes of garbage per year. A new facility would increase waste-to-energy capacity by 370,000 tonnes each year.

Group Canada, Energy Answers International, Termomeccanica Ecologia, Wheelabrator Technologies and Aquilini Renewable Energy. Aquilini has been in talks with the Tsawwasen First Nation to potentially base an incinerator on treaty lands there. Another short-listed proponent— Lehigh Cement—proposes to preprocess garbage as refuse-derived fuel and then burn it at its Delta ce-

ment plant on River Road at Tilbury Island, offsetting its use of either coal or natural gas. Energy Answers’ incinerator proposal would also pre-process waste as refuse-derived fuel (RDF). RDF systems typically dry garbage, remove inert materials and otherwise process the waste so it burns better and hotter. The only other short-listed proponent, Mustang JFE, proposes to

combine an RDF approach with anaerobic digestion of organics along with gasification. According to a Metro report, gasification systems typically convert waste to a gas stream that is directly combusted or can be converted into a syngas, which can be converted into a fuel or other product. Proponents that didn’t make Metro’s short list include Chilliwack Bioenergy Group, as well as several

other firms, some of which proposed lesser known technologies. Some Metro directors had previously voiced concern the process would ultimately result in a massburn incinerator, rather than the use of emerging alternative waste-toenergy technologies. The Metro staff report on the short list notes Metro hired a third-party expert panel and a fairness advisor to ensure the procurement process is not biased in favour of any particular technology. The fairness advisor and third-party expert panel both endorsed the process to rate proponents and the outcome so far. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, chair of Metro’s zero waste committee, said a new waste-to-energy plant would be far advanced from older ones. “Improvements are being made to the technology all the time,” he said. “There’s great interest in this entire area within the professional realm.” Apart from the potential sites like Lehigh in Delta, Metro Vancouver residents are still a long way from learning if the new plant may be built in their neighbourhood. Metro will ask for land owners who want to propose their properties to step forward this summer. Five shortlisted sites, along with others that the short-listed proponents have secured, are to be made public later this year. Metro intends to pick a site by 2015.

Light reading that you just might read cover to cover

Book Club

Shelley Civkin

fter oohing and ahhing over all the fabulous fashions in Rome, I realized that some of it is eminently doable myself.

Enter I Spy DIY Style: Find Fashion You Love and Do it Yourself by Jenni Radosevich. From brooches and bows, shoe bling and purse accents, to sparkly dress accents, decorated hats and painted sunglasses, this book is a treasure chest of ideas for the creative among us. Ribbonizing a tank top, stringing safety pins to make a necklace, and using a silver thin-tip Sharpie to decorate black ballet flats are just some of the cute ideas. Each idea comes with a rating for the skill level required, the supplies and equipment you’ll need, step-by-step instructions,

and pictures of the final product. The ideas are very unique and utilize all kinds of unusual materials, including copper tubing, rope, chopsticks, and straws, just to name a few. If you have even a shred of creativity and love fashion, this will help you look great and save money. On my search for light reading I found Zipper Accidents and Other Cringe-Worthy Events by the Bathroom Readers’ Institute (seriously!). This is one of those browseable

books that fascinate you so much that you end up reading it cover to cover instead of just in bits and pieces. Take for example the section on weird (and real) cell-phone insurance claims, one of which involves a woman from Bristol, England who filed a claim to have the cost of a new Blackberry Bold 9900 reimbursed because she had worn out the phone’s vibrator function. I’ll leave the rest to your imagination. Or the case of the bad

dot-com names like the one used by the Speed of Art design firm, not a swimsuit flatulence company: Speedofart.com. Or the statistic that approximately 450 Americans die annually after falling out of bed. Most are very young, very old, or very drunk. Then there’s the ultra-weird one about the couple who were visiting a cemetery and…well… one thing led to another and while they were engaging in “extracurricular activities” the headstone fell on the woman’s leg

OUR CITY ¦ OUR YOUTH ¦ OUR VIEW

Social media offers pros and cons for teens Having more friends on Facebook lowers depression, says university professor by Rebecca Lin Youth Reporter

ocial media has changed the way adolescents communicate. But has the change been for the better or worse?

Instead of having physical interaction, teens bury their faces in their phones to converse through Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. It raises a question of whether social media has a positive or negative impact on their communication. For Larry Rosen, professor and past chair at California State University, who specializes in psychology of social media, he thinks that the overall effects are both good and bad. Even though his studies have shown that Facebook activity is related to psychiatric disorders such as narcissism, Rosen concludes that the benefits of social media

outweigh the damage. “Research shows,” Rosen says, “that having more friends on Facebook predicts lower depression.” And another benefit is that “Facebook helps teens practise and learn how to be empathic in the real world,” he says. “Shy teens are assisted in learning communication skills by practising online.” Social media can help adolescents overcome their shyness and come out of their shells before interacting face-to-face. Social media can offer speed, accessibility, efficiency, and more connections in communication. Years ago, a letter could take days in transport, whereas today, one arrives instantly after being sent through social media. Furthermore, you can text a group message instead of calling multiple people, and connect with people all over the globe, offering you speed and convenience for your communication. Social media has enabled her

to bond with more people with shared interests. Some parents say that social networks can help children expand their ideas, and learn about people with varied backgrounds. Even though social media has many good qualities, it also has

its downsides: causing misunderstandings in our communication. Without body language and facial expressions, we can often misinterpret the tone of a message or comment. Moreover, it decreases face–toface interaction because “there is

no need for physical interaction to get to know someone, or become close with him of her in our generation,” says Lorie Leung, a Grade 11 student at R.A. McMath secondary. She believes that our physical communication has become “often distracted and of low quality.”

Chuckers’ skipper sees the big picture Slow start no reason to panic, Raul Verde Rios says by Don Fennell Sports Editor Baseball has frequently been called the game of life, and there’s a lot to be said for that claim. After all, baseball just might be the quintessential school of hard knocks, where the ongoing lesson is that if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Consider that it’s a game where a .300 hitter is revered even though he’s called out 70 per cent of the time.

It’s a game Raul Verde Rios knows well, and appreciates for all its nuances. Richmond City Baseball is fortunate to have someone with his character and understanding to pass along the game’s lessons to its Midget AAA players. After a few seasons that would best be described as stellar—including the 2012 campaign which was chock full of highlights; a B.C. final appearance, and pitchers Nawid Niyaz and Brandon Kirk throwing a

perfect game and no-hitter among them—2013 has been more challenging. But Verde Rios is far from panicking. “It’s a process,” he says matter-of-factly. “You can’t just think of winning all the time, it doesn’t work that way.” Just over two months into this season, the Chuckers sit mid-pack in the standings with nine wins and 10 losses but with plenty of opportunity to grow. Though their start is clearly behind last year’s pace, Verde Rios remains confident in the players’ abilities going forward.

“We set some goals at the beginning of March, when we held our first practice, and that was for the players to get to know each other and try to establish a bit of chemistry,” he says. “Now it’s time to reset our goals. The next phase will be trying to build upon that chemistry to the point where we can ask the players to take on new roles. This month will tell a lot about how we’re going to do for the balance of the season, but I understand there’s a lot of exams at school now and I don’t want to put any more pressure on them. In terms of baseball, I just

want them to meet some achievable goals and then be ready to go all out in July.” With the summer months of July and August affording the players an opportunity to focus solely on baseball, Verde Rios is hoping the Chuckers will respond in kind. He’s hoping they’ll even find their own roles within the team framework, and

not rely only on the coaching staff to make those type of decisions. In preparation for that period, and hopefully a push toward a return to the provincial championships, Verde Rios will likely consider using players out of position. “I like to see not only how they react to the game, but also to be able to read their mental makeup,” he

says. “Ups and downs are a part of baseball, but it’s how you handle the situations during the season that prepares you for the playoffs. Players aren’t going to learn if they don’t go through some adversity.” The Chuckers are scheduled to return to action this weekend, playing a doubleheader in Victoria Sunday.

deJesus comes up big as Thunder rolls by Don Fennell Sports Editor Demonstrating immense skills and a clear love of the game, Richmond’s Machoops Thunder made plenty of noise at Basketball BC’s annual club championships last weekend at the Langley Events Centre. Featuring mostly the same players that captured gold at the under-15 level two years ago, the Thunder won the under-17 boys’ title with a thrilling 57-54 overtime victory over the Heritage Heat. And inspired by their namesakes, a younger Thunder team earned silver in the under-15 Red Division—losing the final game by 10 points to a strong Force team made up of Vancouver College players. With victories over Allball, 16 Cadets, Phantoms and Force, the under-17 Thunder (Miki Macapagal, Andy Cheng, Ali Tung, Nathan Thomas, Nolan Howell, Umar Tung, Matthew Sim, Denzel deJesus, Arnold Macalipay, Ernie Penas, Josh Rivera, JP Peralta, Chris

MASTER OF COUNSELLING

by Don Fennell Richmond Devils are making their Hockey Night in Canada debut this weekend. The local women’s hockey team, which reached the bronzemedal game at the recent Western Shield, will suit up in Hockey Night’s popular Play On! 4 on 4 street hockey tournament Friday through Sunday in Coquitlam. “I think that this is a great way for the Richmond Devils to get their name out in the Lower Mainland. It’s exciting to be part of such a big tournament, and here we can show off some of our skills while having a great time,” says captain Carly Millman. Adds teammate Natalie Korenic: “I am really looking forward to this tournament because what Canadian hockey fan doesn’t love street hockey? It is the simplest form of the game and a lot of memories growing up involve playing on the street with kids in the neighbourhood. I think it’s a great event to bring a community together.”

Tsang, Paul Dichosa, Johnny Li, John Tseng and Josh Koentjero) seemed to be poised for a sweep against the Heat in Sunday’s final. But to their credit a tenacious Heat took advantage of playing only one previous game that day, though with just six players (two of whom fouled out) eventually wore down in the fourth quarter. With three minutes to play, deJesus sank a three-pointer to send the game into overtime. The under-15 Thunder (Justin Dy-Pe, Julian Malapitan, Antonio Pablo, Joshua Ignacio, Andrew Tolentino, Don Sanares, Luke Lou, Raph Juliano, Wilson Wong, Jan Niu, Nicholas Wong, Nico Portugal and Louie Lin) needed heroics of their own, relying on a buzzer-beater to edge Athelite in their opening game which was followed by a victory over Vancity 14 Elites in the semifinals. Many of the under-15 Thunder will remain eligible to play in this division again next year. All told, 49 teams (boys and girls) from throughout B.C. participated in 84 games over three days.

Richmond hoops stars added to BC teams by Don Fennell Sports Editor The basketball season is being extended for several of Richmond’s up-and-coming high school stars. After helping to lift the R.A. McMath Wildcats Grade 9 girls’ team to an undefeated season in the Richmond junior league and a berth in the provincial championship in 2012-13, Jessica Jones and Jessica Zawada will be joined by Tia Leung of the Hugh McRoberts Strikers as locals on the under-15 Team BC which will participate in a number of events this summer. The under-16 boys’

team will also boast a local talent as Chris McAlpine, a six-foot-two guard who attends Vancouver College, has been selected to Team BC, which will be coached by Casey Archibald. Finally, Antonio Jhuty, a six-foot-two shooting guard who played for the R.C. Palmer Griffins last season has been selected to the provincial under-17 team coached by Todd Jordan, who will be assisted by Richmond’s Jon Acob. Among the highlights of the team’s summer schedule is the Las Vegas Live classic July 17 to 21 and the Canadian Summer Games Aug. 1 to 9 in Sherbrooke, Que.

•A team consisting of players from several Richmond high schools placed second at the recent Basketball BC under-14 zone team championships at the Langley Events Centre. Featuring Hugh Boyd’s Pavel Prasad, Justin DyPe and Josh Ignacio of MacNeill, Ian Moon and Jeremy Kuo of McRoberts, Antonio Pablo of Palmer, Ryan Yeung of McMath, Matt Chan from Richmond High, Kevin Dhillon of Cambie, and Fardaws Aimaq of Steveston-London, the team went 4-0 in pool play to advance to the semifinals against Burnaby/New Westminster, winning in overtime on a key three-point play by Aimaq and key blocks by Dhillon. “We were in tough against Burnaby/New Westminster, having played them in exhibition play and losing both games,” said Dy, who coaches the A.R.

MacNeill Ravens during the season. “But with everything at stake, and the winner advancing to the gold medal game, we had to play our best basketball. Our guys showed composure and calmness, taking in one possession at a time.” With 36 seconds to play in the fourth quarter and down by three points, Aimag split a pair of free throws and in the following possession lead guard Prasad rushed up the floor, was fouled, and drained two free throws to force overtime. Richmond struggled in the gold medal game against Vancouver Island South’s five-out offence and appeared tired from the hard battle in the semis. “Overall, our boys made us proud and have improved tremendously,” said Dy. “It’s an awesome group of guys that are keen on learning the game of basketball.”

Jessica Zawada is one of three Richmond basketball players named to the provincial under-15 girls’ team.

Cox contributed seven points in 22 playoff games as the Royals defeated the Stockton Thunder four games to one in the final. But it was Cox’s steady play every shift—reflected in his plus-11—that made him such a valued member of the team. Cox, who had 29 points in 65 regular-season games, joined the Roy-

als late last season, after playing for the Alaska Aces with which he won the ECHL title in 2011. Cox was a stellar college player at Colgate University, and won the U.S. Hockey Humanitarian Award in 2010. The Royals are affiliated with the NHL Washington Capitals and AHL Hershey Bears. ETHAN COX

Pros from Quilchena Golf & Country Club, Green Acres Golf Course, Richmond Country Club and Mayfair Lakes Golf & Country Club will golf as many holes as possible to raise awareness and funds for the ALS Society of BC. These Richmond courses are four of 40 golf courses located across B.C participating in the PGA of B.C. Golfathon for ALS. First up are Victor Vianzon and Paul Girard of Quilchena, who will be golfing June 10. On June 14, Derek Whipple of Green Acres will start driving. On June 17, Richmond Country Club pros step up: Mike Cyndroski, Mark Strong, Nick Anderson, Chris Carmichael and Andrew Chapman. On June 19, Mayfair Lakes pros Taylor Hull, Nicky Jordan and Brian Coe will tee it up. “We are excited to see the program grow, year after year and look forward to contributing towards the fight against this deadly disease,” said Donald Miyazaki, executive director of the PGA of BC. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also referred to as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder that affects the person’s motor neurons that carry messages to the muscles resulting in weakness and wasting in arms, legs, mouth, throat and elsewhere. The disease typically is immobilizing within two to five years of the initial diagnosis. There is no known cause or cure yet, but there is hope through the ALS Society of BC. Proceeds from the Golfathon for ALS provide important support services to ALS patients and research to find a cure. For more information and to donate, visit www.golfathonforals.ca.

Lake Whatcom recreation

Nature at its best at Wildwood Lakefront Cottages By Kerry Vital

Washington’s Lake Whatcom is a largely undiscovered gem for Canadians, with a myriad of outdoor activities, a peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity for a ton of family bonding. Now you can purchase your own family getaway at Wildwood Lakefront Cottages right on the shores at South Bay. “It feels like you’re in the middle of a cedar forest,” says sales director Wayne Lyle. The natural setting is one of the highlights of Wildwood, with its two streams, huge trees and pristine lake and shoreline. Lake Whatcom holds the drinking water for the city of Bellingham, so there are numerous restrictions in place in order to ensure it stays pristine. The lake is over 12 miles long, with Wildwood and its 11 acres located at the quiet south end. Just 45 minutes from the Canada-U.S. border, Canadians have been flocking there to purchase their little piece of paradise. “It’s a real family experience,” Lyle says. “They’re buying for the legacy, for the memories. Our buyers are strictly families and have either kids or grandkids.” The developers of the site are a group of Canadian families who now own cottages on the lake themselves. “It gives it a personal feel,” Lyle says, adding that the vast majority of the buyers so far are Canadian. One of the big draws for Canadians is that the property is gated and private, has a resident on-site manager and your landscaping is all looked after. Wildwood started life in the 1950s as a campground, and that natural flavour still survives today as an outdoor experience with all the comforts of home. “The historical factor is quite cool,” Lyle says. “I’ve met many people who learned to water-ski here 40 years ago.” Whether you want to go fishing, take out the canoe or go for a swim, you’ll find a ton of outdoor activities available on-site. The private marina holds 34 private boat slips, 15 mooring buoys and a number of guest slips. You’ll also find a clubhouse, pool and hot tub, tennis court, recreation centre, playground, community herb garden and a winding walking trail. The cottages themselves are made for cozy family times, with five different floorplans to choose from and three

from the other cottages, you can purchase a lot at Wildwood and have your own cottage built instead of choosing from one of the floorplans. Wildwood’s proximity to Seattle makes it a convenient spot to stop if you’re planning to fly out of the Seattle airport as well. You can also pay a visit to Mount Baker for skiing, just an hour and a half away. “This a great base camp for families,”

Lyle says. “You take a deep breath when you look out at the water. And with the price of real estate in B.C., this lakefront property is a bargain!” Lots at Wildwood start at $174,900, and fully finished cottages plus lots start at $324,900.

McMath emerges as new force in high school track and field The Wildcats used five podium finishes—two by Camryn Toney (discus and shot put), Tianna Bobarill (high jump), Montana Leonard (400m) and the girls four-by-400 relay team of Meghan Higashitani, Sara Cathcart, Zandalee Uyeyama and Leonard to push ahead of more than 125 schools. Other top placings for McMath were from Alon Aminov (high jump and long jump) and Cathcart (long jump) to post the highest-ever placing for the Richmond school.

This was a historic year on the track for the R.A. McMath Wildcats. After a first-ever win at the Vancouver and District finals, the Grade 8 and 9 Wildcats surprised many at last weekend’s provincial championships in Langley by placing third overall. The girls’ team was a close second in their competition, narrowly missing the title won by Semiamhoo. In fact, only a dropped baton in the four-by100-metre relay prevented a provincial championship for McMcMath.

Devils aim to net street hockey prize From Page 23

Other team members who scored points were Sierra Louie (high jump) and the boys relay teams consisting of Alex Dawson, Seth Wong-Hen, Zach Balen, Matt Loveland, and Nate Loewen. A promising group of athletes from elementary champion Dixon and runners-up Westwind will be joining the McMath squad next season as they attempt to continue to become an even greater force on the provincial track and field scene.

The Devils will be participating in the Elite Women’s Division, hoping not only to net first place but also to help set a Guinness world record for the largest street hockey tournament. There are currently 349 teams registered for 10 events across the country (with play beginning last month and continuing throughout June). The current Guinness record for largest street hockey tournament is 205 teams. Hockey Night in Canada’s Play On!

features recreational and competitive 4-on-4 street hockey tournament divisions for boys, girls, men, and women of all ages and skill levels. Each tournament also includes a corporate division, with teams consisting of between four and seven players. Trophies and other prizes are awarded to the winning teams in each division, with winners and finalists from each event invited to the 2013 national championship where teams will compete for the Redwood Cup.
