Pool, seniors centre to be rebuilt in Minoru Park Council opts to borrow half the $109 million needed to rebuild three aging facilities by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A trio of aging civic facilities long slated for replacement will be demolished and rebuilt on their existing sites at a cost of up to $109.4 million, city council unanimously decided Monday. Minoru Aquatic Centre, Minoru Place Activity Centre and Fire Hall No. 1 will all be razed and replaced with bigger and better facilities. The decision is forcing the city to hatch a creative plan to accommodate users during construction periods of over two years—tentatively scheduled to begin in late 2015. “I think it’s time council moseyed along with this,” said Coun. Ken Johnston. “We can debate this thing until we’re all blue in the face, but these are aging facilities that have to be replaced.” See Page 3

Craig Richmond was introduced as Vancouver Airport Authority's new president and CEO on Tuesday.

Craig Richmond takes over after Larry Berg’s retirement by Martin van den Hemel

What $109.4 million buys taxpayers

Staff Reporter It’s now fair to say that Richmond is truly a part of the Vancouver International Airport. On Tuesday morning, after weeks of industry speculation about the successor to retired airport CEO and president Larry Berg, Craig Richmond was named to the top position. “Now, the secret is out, I don’t have to keep it quiet anymore, and I can meet the employees,” Richmond said following the announcement in front of hundreds of people including airport workers, volunteers, politicians and city stakeholders.

•$65.2 million: a new integrated Minoru Aquatic Centre (up to 69,000 square feet) and seniors centre (up to 33,000 square feet) that would be ready by 2018 •$22.3 million: new Fire Hall No. 1 with 27,500 square feet that would be ready by early 2018 •$6.8 million: Outfitting of City Centre Community Centre (ready by early 2015) •$3 million: Temporary seniors centre •$2.1 million: Temporary cover for Steveston Outdoor Pool •$10 million: Contingency

Richmond revealed he’d been given the news about his “dream job” a few weeks ago, and since that time, has kept it hush hush. If Craig Richmond’s name sounds familiar, that’s because he spent more than 11 years at YVR in various operational roles, including manager of airside operations and vice-president of operations. Richmond joined Vantage Airport Group in 2006, sharing his management and operational expertise with airports around the world. In January, he was named CEO of Hermes Airports, heading up Larnaka International and Pafos International airports in Cyprus. During a video that he narrated, Richmond said while others wanted to be a rock star, fireman, doctor or next Internet billionaire, all he ever wanted was to be around planes. Born in Vancouver, he was raised in

Kamloops, and his first job was pumping gas at the Kamloops Airport. After high school, he joined the Canadian Air Force, and studied to fly jets, graduating to fighters at the age of 20, piloting F-15 Starfighters and F-18 Hornets. He is married and has two children. “I learned to fly planes before I learned how to drive a car. In fact, I got my pilot’s licence before I got my driver’s licence, a source of some amusement for my family,” Richmond said during a video announcement he narrated. Before taking over the reins at YVR on July 2, Richmond will be returning to Cyprus to bring his replacement up to speed. “I really believe in two things: I believe in getting out there and being with people when they’re doing their jobs so you can really understand what it is they’re going through. And also I’m a huge believer in team work.” See Page 3 ®

Developers interested in Steveston Secondary by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter During an in-camera meeting of the Board of Education Monday, trustees mulled over what to do next with the sale of the Steveston secondary school site along No. 2 Road. Last week, “marathon interviews” were conducted by the Richmond school district with five residential developers who have shown a strong interest in purchasing and developing the site. Those short-listed developers were among a dozen who stepped forward to express their desire to develop the 13-acre parcel that was the former site of Steveston Secondary School. “It’s pretty exciting,” said board trustee Donna Sargent. The five developers who made presentations, which included mock-ups of what could be built on the site, were asked to share their vision, value and voice for the site. The vision refers to the firm that has a good vision for the neighbourhood, and takes into account the surrounding area and what’s currently there. The value refers to the financial compensation the district would receive from those possible futures for the site.

And the voice refers to the firm that will work closely with the community. Sargent promised that there will be extensive public consultation on this project. “The community...will be designing this,” Sargent said. Sargent said the potential look of the site is completely up in the air. “Nothing is set in stone,” she said. “Anything’s possible.” That includes a daycare, a senior’s housing facility, and a mix of different styles of residential housing. It will all depend on the community’s needs, the neighbourhood’s desires, and what’s doable. Asked to describe the five short-listed companies, Sargent said all are “well known, very good reputations.” Sargent said there is a bit of a time crunch the district is working under. “As you realize, this is a really important decision and we want to make sure we’re doing a good job, for the benefit of all.” The planning for the site, and transfer of funds to the distict, must be completed by 2015. “Personally, I’m really excited,” Sargent said, adding that she lives in the neighbourhood. “I am excited for the community, to see some-

thing they can help build and can be a real legacy for the community, for Steveston.” Trustee Eric Yung said Tuesday afternoon that the sale will again be discussed at next month’s board meeting, though if other in-

formation comes forward, another meeting could be called. “We’re trying to make sure we’re looking at every aspect of this, dotting all the i’s and crossing the t’s.”

Aging facilities to be completely replaced From Page 1 To pay the nine-figure bill, council also decided to borrow $50 million over 10 years— instead of drawing the entire amount from reserves—to help satisfy its ambition to move on a long list of capital projects. Staff told council that borrowing at a time of record-low interest rates would allow the city’s reserves to continue earning interest and offer council flexibility to fund other projects. Johnston said the method of financing offers the city “the best of all worlds” and won’t impact property taxes. Coun. Evelina Halsey-Brandt said the low cost of borrowing will allow council to consider “some of the other facilities that have been on the wait list for so long.” “All the things that we want to do here, to make us the most livable and appealing community, you actually have to construct things,” she said. Council must still ratify its decision, likely June 24, after which detailed design work would begin. A staff report provides an early glimpse of each project—and a plan to soften the blow for users who will be without their facilities for two years. Both the Minoru Aquatic Centre and Minoru Place Activity Centre—also known as the seniors centre—will stay in Minoru Park, double in size and be connected in some way. The

Pool programs would be relocated to Steveston Outdoor Pool, which the city plans to outfit with a $2.1-million temporary roof.

combined facility is expected to be complete by the end of 2017. Pool programs would be relocated to Steveston Outdoor Pool, which the city plans to outfit with a $2.1-million temporary roof. But the smaller facility will still leave some swimmers on dry land, so city hall is considering renting private pools to add to its temporary pool inventory. Seniors would see their programs relocated to a building across Minoru Boulevard that formerly housed the Richmond RCMP. Now known as City Hall Annex, the building has already been treated to $1.9 million in upgrades, as city staff now occupy Floor 4. A further $3 million will be spent to convert two vacant floors into 18,000 square feet of space for seniors’ programs. Fire Hall No. 1 will be rebuilt at Granville Avenue and Gilbert Road to a post-disaster standard, grow one-third in size and be completed by early 2018. Part of its operations will be re-

located to the future No. 3 Fire Hall at Cambie and No. 4 roads, while others could be moved to City Hall Annex or elsewhere. Senior staff considered the possibility of keeping the pool or seniors centre open during construction, but determined new foundation work would compromise an adjacent structure—especially an aging aquatic centre sensitive to cracks. “Building a foundation will cause significant damage to the current infrastructure we have in either of those facilities,” said Robert Gonzalez, general manager of engineering. The $109.4-million in spending also includes $6.8 million to outfit the future City Centre Community Centre, a facility being built by Canada Sunrise Developments as part of its Quintet development. The city expects to get possession by August 2014 and have the community centre ready in early 2015. Despite a ringing endorsement of the plan from councillors Monday, many still have questions. Some wondered if the proposed facilities will be large enough for Richmond’s growing population. Others wondered if South Arm Pool could also be covered, or, like Coun. Harold Steves, if Steveston Outdoor Pool’s cover could be made permanent. Coun. Bill McNulty questioned whether the airspace above the new seniors centre could be used—for market or affordable housing. Said McNulty: “If we don’t go up I think we’re missing a golden opportunity here.”

New YVR boss believes in transparency From Page 1 A big focus for the airport in the years to come will be Asia, where over the course of the coming years, some 750 million more citizens will join the middle-class, he said. “What do middle class people do? They travel. So we need to capture some of that market, because if we don’t capture it, we’ll lose it forever. If you don’t get airlines used to flying in, they get used to flying to other airports and we can’t let that happen,” Richmond said. Asked about the increasing number of Canadians who travel out of airports in the U.S. because of significant cost savings, Richmond said he’s planning to commission a study that will quantify the extent of the “leakage”. On accountability and transparency, Richmond said: “We believe what’s in the best interests of the airport is very often in the best interests of the people of British Columbia. Clearly we want to have really good relationships with our communities, and I don’t like to hear that we’ve been butting heads. We would like to work with people. And I have a lot of experience doing that...in different jurisdictions with all kinds of different political parties. So I’m very hopeful we can repair any problems that might have occurred.”

Martin van den Hemel file photo Celine, Maxine, Michael, Michelle and Monique Harjani won the TYE international young entrepreneur competition in Washington, D.C. last weekend.

Palmer siblings repeat as champs in entrepreneurial competition by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter For the second year in a row, a local group of young entrepreneurs has risen to the top in a competition involving the cream of the international crop. Five siblings from R.C. Palmer secondary followed up their April victory in the TYE Vancouver Venture Challenge by walking away with the top prize in an international gathering of young entrepreneurs. Quadruplets Maxine, Michael, Michelle and Monique, 16, and

their younger sister Celine, 15, flew to Washington, D.C. to pitch their Kaya Band, a high-tech device aimed at the 41 million diagnosed diabetics between the ages of 15 and 55 and who use smartphones. Their idea is to develop the band which would be capable of noninvasive glucose monitoring that would employ a special tattoo-like sensor that’s half the size of a postage stamp. “All the hard work paid off. We tried to have a lot of fun and we just did our best,” they said Tuesday afternoon, adding it was a

great experience to meet other high school youth from across the U.S. and the world. So what’s next? Six individual investors approached them after their presentation in Washington to express an interest in funding the project. Now that the Harjani’s have all graduated from Palmer Secondary, they’ll be taking a year off to focus on the project, to talk to manufacturers, and then to investors once they have their answers. And perhaps play some golf, a sport all five excel at. “We are very hopeful.”

Trevor Tomlin, fishery officer for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, told The Richmond Review that following a routine inspection during the offload of herring at the firm’s Twigg Place address, some 30 undersized crabs were found.

The firm pled guilty in Richmond provincial court last week and was fined $2,000. Tomlin said the number of undersized Dungeness crab was a relatively small amount, compared to the size of the commercial plant. Back in 2011, Grand Hale was convicted of the same offence, and was fined $750, Tomlin said.

Thai tourist jailed for 80 days for child porn A tourist from Thailand will be spending 80 days in prison for possessing child pornography. Saman Bannasri, 47, arrived at Vancouver International Airport on June 7, 2013 at 10 p.m. on an inbound flight.

He was referred for a secondary examination, after which Canada Border Services officers found what they suspected was images and videos of child exploitation on his electronic media devices. He was taken into custody and

turned over to Richmond RCMP, along with the mobile electronic media. Bannasri pled guilty in Richmond provincial court last week, and was sentenced to prison, while also ordered to provide a sample of his DNA.

Sea Island park named after Larry Berg

Who has hearing loss? Age 0 - 17 Age 45 - 64

Flight Path Park to take on name of airport’s outgoing CEO

Richmond Review · Page 7

65 % of those with hearing loss are UNDER THE AGE of 65!

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter The outgoing president and CEO of the Vancouver Airport Authority is getting something few living souls do—his name on a longtime Richmond park. Larry Berg is being honoured by airport officials with the renaming of Flight Path Park to Larry Berg Park: A Celebration of Flight. The two-hectare Sea Island green space, located just off Russ Baker Way at the southwest corner of Burkeville, will take on the new name in the fall—after planned upgrades are completed. On Tuesday morning Vancouver Airport Authority board chair Mary Jordan announced Craig Richmond will succeed Larry Berg as president and CEO on July 2. The park is scheduled to close to visitors next Monday as work crews move in to build a central plaza, new pathways and an elevated platform for plane-spotting. Memorial benches will be relocated within the park. According to the airport authority’s website, the park will also “celebrate YVR’s role in connecting people from all over the world with a central globe feature.” A grand opening is scheduled for sometime this fall. Richmond’s most significant parks take their names from a horse (Minoru), long-deceased monarch (King George), river (South Arm) and areas (Steveston and Garden City). Other parks, particularly school parks like Hugh Boyd, are named after pioneers. Coun. Harold Steves, chair of council’s parks committee, said the only park that comes close to being named after a living person in Richmond is Paulik Neighbourhood Park—honouring the Paulik family that originally owned the land. As for Larry Berg Park, Steves believes the name that will nonetheless stay in people’s minds is Flight Path Park. “I think Flight Path Park will probably stick, but that’s their choice,” said Steves. “Larry Berg’s done a good job for the airport, and we’ve worked really well with him. It’s great he has a park named after him, but it is rather unusual.” Added Coun. Bill McNulty: “That is their prerogative. I wish him well.” In a recent tribute speech, Jordan noted Berg’s commitment to improving the landscaping on the airportcontrolled lands of Sea Island, and said the park’s new

name will recognize his legacy. Jordan said Berg saw the airport through turbulent and opportune times during his 15 years as the YVR’s boss. She said Berg was a driving force on the Canada Line project and guided the airport to success during the 2010 Winter Games. He also stood up to the challenges of 9/11 and the SARS crisis, she noted. “You need more than just a great string or great woodwind section to have a great orchestra. You need a great conductor, and Larry has been a great conductor,” said Jordan at the airport’s annual public meeting May 9.

ichmond City Hall has hatched a plan to spend $109.4 million of taxpayers’ money to deliver four new civic facilities.

That’s almost $550 for every resident—in other words, a good deal. What can be seen as an ambitious plan is actually a long and carefully pondered one. Detailed designs of these facilities aren’t ready, but the long wait for a new pool, seniors centre and fire hall in Minoru Park—along with a new downtown community centre— appears well worth the wait. What taxpayers have now is a

commitment from city council to build these facilities in the next five years. One, the new City Centre Community Centre, is a steal for taxpayers, who are having most of the bill paid for by a developer. The other buildings simply need to be replaced. They’re old, cramped and have outlived their usefulness as public facilities. As the city’s population continues to grow, it’s hard to mount an argument against the investment. What has been debated is location. But thanks to some ingenuity and clear thought from city hall, these buildings will be rebuilt

in the same locations, and their users will be temporarily shuffled elsewhere. One good example is Minoru Place Activity Centre. Once flattened, seniors’ programs will be moved into a renovated space in the former Richmond RCMP building. The space could also be used for some displaced Richmond Fire-Rescue personnel, and— down the road—for city offices and other public services. Rebuilding Minoru Aquatic Centre in the same location is the biggest challenge. But the solution seems to be a good one—install a cover on Steveston Outdoor

Pool, making it available to the public year-round. The cover even has the potential to become permanent. Some swimmers will be left out in the cold, but senior staff have pledged to source out private pool space to make up some of the shortfall. No doubt there will be inconveniences to users of these facilities. But rebuilding these significant buildings without the cost of additional land or encroachment into Minoru Park is a plan with prime potential. The real test for city officials is yet to come—showing taxpayers a good return on investment.

The stories we tell and the historical record

Tales of Richmond Erin Hanson

any of us learn about history through books that document military conquests, men in power, and supposedly important dates.

Sometimes, the stories of “regular” people in their day-to-day lives get lost along the way. Yet the stories people tell about their own experiences can give us valuable insight into history and the way people thought and behaved. These “oral histories” can document what other methods of recording history may leave out. When my dad was in high school, he was assigned to write a report on an aspect of Canadian history. His father suggested he speak with an old family friend, Ken Elston, for the assignment. Ken was a familiar face along the Fraser River. Born in Hull, England in 1915, Ken moved to Vancouver as a toddler with his mother, sisters, and aunts after his father died. The family eventually settled in Richmond in 1921. Ken worked as a manager at a number of Steveston canneries. He was also instrumental in establishing the Fishermen’s Memorial at Garry Point Park. Ken had valuable insight

into the history of the working waterfront, yet my dad didn’t interview him. For a student accustomed to learning about history in books, talking to an ordinary fisherman didn’t seem like “real” history. Perhaps my dad also felt uncomfortable asking his parent’s friend, someone who he’d see regularly in ordinary moments, to open up about his personal life. Ken remained a good friend of the family until his passing about twenty years ago. In the 1970s, historian Barry Broadfoot’s book Ten Lost Years helped foster a newfound appreciation for storytelling as a means of filling in the gaps in history books. In university, I began documenting oral histories. My dad, ever passionate about history, was excited I would be speaking with local people. He told me he has since regretted not interview-

ing Mr. Elston. He saw it as a lost opportunity. We wondered what stories Mr. Elston would have told about his life on the river. One day a local historian asked if I had seen the interviews at the Richmond Archives. To my astonishment and delight, in the 1970s, several local people sat down with elderly Richmondites and spoke with them about their lives. Impressively, over 400 people have been interviewed, many of whom were able to recall aspects of Richmond life at the turn of the 20th century. A list of interviews and some transcripts are available online via the Richmond archives website (www.richmond. ca/archives). “The people interviewed actually lived early Richmond history,” Bill Purver, archivist at the Richmond Archives, explains. “Their memories may not be as

accurate as the written or photographic record, but their stories provide a unique perspective on Richmond’s past.” I felt I had stumbled upon a treasure. Some familiar Richmond names are in there: Grauer, McMath, Steves, Trites. But, my heart jumped when I saw one particular name listed there: Ken Elston. Someone had interviewed Ken Elston in 1973! I booked an appointment at the archives. Bill located the tape for me, set up a listening station, and I sat inside for hours with giant headphones on. I listened to Ken’s voice, gruff and weathered but still full of warmth, tell me stories about the working waterfront in the 1900s: the canneries including BC Packers, the unions and their struggles, the internment of Japanese friends during World War II, and

the changing technologies over the years. I loved his story about riding to school in a bumpy old jeep that served as Sea Island’s school bus in the early ‘20s. I ordered a copy of Ken’s tape, wrapped it up, and surprised my Dad with it. He was amazed it existed, and was touched I thought to give it to him. It was a second chance to hear Ken’s stories, so many years later. Sometimes when I ask people to share their stories with me, they seem surprised, even self-conscious. Seemingly “normal” lives all have stories behind them, and can teach us a lot about our community, past and present.

Better Grades Happier Kids

Liberals can’t change their spots Editor: Just as the leopard is not able to change its spots, already, we have evidence that the B.C. “Liberal” Party has the same problem! Just a few short weeks ago, this bunch swanned about the province loudly proclaiming their fiscal prudence, and claiming that only they could keep British Columbia from bankruptcy, and/ or dissolving in some unnamed disaster. Well, it seems that Christy did indeed learn well her lessons

from good Ol’ Gord! “Just tell those dummies what they want to hear before the Election, and when you win, do whatever comes to mind”. The obscene increases for the political staff are a shining example of the Liberal definition of restraint! Charge those old suckers in care homes $25 bucks a month for wheel chairs, oh, and by the way give some more pork to our toadies! We can’t quite get away with

Richmond should showcase its ethnic diversity at the Garden City Lands Editor: We should think bigger with the opportunity we have with the Garden City Lands. The city should be more ambitious in developing a project that showcases that which makes our city special. But what does make Richmond special? Well, when I talk about Richmond to people around the world I always mention it’s the most ethnically diverse city in North America. I don’t mention our malls or our farms, I talk about No 5 Road. The “Highway to Heaven” where a dozen of the world’s religions are practiced within a few blocks. Canada as a nation has a special place in the world when it comes to acceptance and multiculturalism. Richmond’s diverse ethnicity therefore puts it not just on the national frontier of cultural acceptance, but as a leader in the entire world’s goal to accept itself. That is what makes Richmond special. That is what should be celebrated on the Garden City

lands; a park that combines nature with monuments and education on all the world’s religions and cultures. Temples, shrines, statues, gardens, churches, mosques— there are beautiful ways to celebrate culture. To combine monuments of them all, in a naturally beautiful landscape, would be a project that would make Richmond’s residents proud, not just of the Garden City Lands, but of our entire city and what it represents. Richmond’s ethnicity has always made it special and it’s time we show that to the world. Tourism is Vancouver’s second largest industry, but how many of those visitors take a train heading south after YVR? This park is a way to showcase Richmond that helps businesses at the centre of the city while keeping the area green and environmentally friendly. Isn’t it obvious what we should do with our special opportunity? Eric Miller Richmond

Cyclists need to follow the rules of the road Editor: Where is it written that cyclists can ride in a pedestrian crossing and be accorded the same rights as pedestrians? I really would like to know. On one occasion I was driving south on Railway hoping to make a left turn on to Steveston. As I approached I noticed there was a red hand for pedestrians at the crosswalk and I assumed that it would be safe to make the turn. Suddenly a mounted cyclist appeared riding north in the crosswalk, completely ignoring the red hand. Fortunately no harm was done. On another occasion while waiting for a green at the Scramble in Steveston, three cyclists dressed ready for the Tour de France, heads down line astern, rode diagonally across the Scramble, weaving their way through the pedestrians. I have no problem with cyclists who dismount and walk in the crosswalk, but those who chose to ride and ignore the signals should not expect to be treated as pedestrians. Patrick Gannon Richmond

letters Residents can get free tours of the Richmond Olympic Oval Editor: It is unfortunate that someone cannot provide more balance when it comes to the Richmond Olympic Oval. A recent letter from R.A. Hoegler is a case in point. He should have taken the time to ask the friendly front desk staff about the free tours of this fantastic facility. As a person who was a volunteer at the Oval

during the 2010 Olympics and who continues volunteering as one of the 15 Oval Ambassadors offering free guided tours, I can attest to providing hundreds of visitors with educational, instructive tours of our Oval. We Ambassadors provide free tours of the building on weekends from 11-3 p.m. During weekdays we take a variety of school and sports groups on tours as well as visiting groups from many provinces and countries on informative

trips through this magnificent gem in Richmond’s crown. Let’s stop the griping, open our minds and accept the fact that the Richmond Olympic Oval is an important, contributing part of the fabric that makes living in Richmond such a pleasure and a privilege. J. R. Hopkins Richmond

More on ‘biases’ Editor: The letter from Paul Downs criticizing Mark Sakai who wrote about his support for a new Richmond Museum and how writers should “reveal their biases” is itself biased to one person’s thinking. Mark Sakai is a long time Richmond resident who has been very active in the fields of sports and heritage in the Richmond community. While Mr. Downs googled Mark Sakai and to his horror, found that Mark used to be involved with the Delta Museum and Archives. He could read further and found the various areas where Mark has volunteered his time and expertise for many, many years. To save Mr. Downs the trouble of googling me, I am on the board for the Richmond Museum Society and have been a Richmond resident for over 50 years and been very active in our community for over 50 years. My name will also show I have been active with numerous groups in Richmond where most of us let the community know our thoughts and support without the cloud of being biased. Ron Hyde Steveston

Editor: Hello, I personally have had enough of the construction noise on weekends. According to the Richmond noise bylaws, people can build houses from Monday to Saturday, 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. Sunday and holidays, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Conceivably that means Christmas Day, somebody could be banging away, and you can’t do anything about it. The law is on their side We are overdue for a change in the bylaws. People are fed up with the constant construction noise, especially on weekends. How about Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. That gives nine hours a day. Saturday 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Sunday and holidays, you can’t work. This is not at all unreasonable. In the city of Vancouver, you are not allowed to work on construction on Sundays. Why aren’t we the same? Jim Mizel Richmond

SEAFAIR MINOR HOCKEY

Volunteer Richmond photo The Community Action Ambassadors’ motto is ‘Support, Listen, Educate,’ as can be seen from the t-shirts worn by the members of the first graduating class.

Community Action Ambassadors help support seniors This summer, a new group of volunteers will be building bridges in Richmond and beyond. Not between places, but rather, between people. Community Action Ambassadors connect isolated seniors to community resources. Specifically, they work to support seniors—from all cultures—who are struggling with mental health issues or substance use. In addition to offering peer-to-peer support, the volunteers, who are all older adults themselves, attend community events and facilitate public education forums and workshops. “It’s a very rewarding volunteer experience,” says Carol Dickson, manager of Seniors Community Support Services at Volunteer Richmond Information Services, one of the program partners. “It’s a great feeling to know you’re providing information that can really improve someone’s quality of life. So often, people don’t know that help’s out there, but it is.” The current group of Community Action Ambassadors, 15 in total, completed their 11-week training at the beginning of June. They’ve already participated in community centre wellness clinics and seniors celebrations like the Pink Rose Tea. Another round of volunteer training is set to begin at the end of the month, with only a small number of spaces left. “The curriculum is very topical and deals with issues important to seniors,” says Glennford Haslam, a volunteer. “There was lots of class discussion and the participants were diverse, so we learned a lot from each other.” To find out more about the Community Action Ambassadors program

and how to can volunteer, call 604-279-7020 or visit www.volunteerrichmond.ca. In addition to Volunteer Richmond, the program is presented by Richmond Addiction Services in partnership with SUCCESS, Richmond Youth Service Agency, Progressive Intercultural Community Services Society, Richmond Multicultural Community Services, and Vancouver Coastal Health. Funding is provided by the Community Action Initiative.

What to do with all those local strawberries

Food for Thought wait, we all wait, for local strawberries.

An early arrival this year meant a jump start on enjoying these ruby red gems. As we all should know by now, local berries are red through and through, unlike their U.S. cousins with the red exterior and white interior. Local berries are juicy, sweet, and when the harvest is over, well, the harvest is over. Last week I bought my first basket of berries at J&S Farms on MacKenzie (south of Steveston Hwy between Gilbert and No. 3 Road). Those I ate within two days—straight up. OK, maybe a little ice cream on the side. With the next basket I made my favourite strawberry pleasure—Anny’s Fraises Diablo (recipe below). And then I purchased flats of berries—to freeze. I need a taste of summer during the long dark days.

but eat them one by one with pleasure until I finish them all. I don’t dress them in a salad or fold them into chocolate mousse. I enjoy them just as nature intended.” Kasey Wilson, of “The Best of Food & Wine” (CISL 650, Thursdays, 6 p.m.), told me she makes a Strawberry Loaf from her cookbook Gifts From the Kitchen, served with her White Chocolate Butter. Strawberry Loaf ½ cup butter 1 cup sugar ½ tsp almond extract 2 eggs, separated 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp salt 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries Preheat oven to 350˚F. In a mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar, and almond extract. Beat in egg yolks. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add dry ingredients alternatively with strawberries to mixing bowl. Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into mixture.

Local berries are red through and through, unlike their U.S. cousins with the red exterior and white interior.

Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with greased wax paper. Pour batter into a pan and bake 50 minutes, or until metal skewer inserted at centre comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack. Serve with White Chocolate Butter. White Chocolate Butter 1 ¾ cups icing sugar ¼ lb unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces 1 tbsp amaretto liqueur 2 oz white chocolate, melted In a food processor with a metal blade, process icing sugar to remove lumps.

I asked several friends what they do with their berries. Barb Bell, owner of Raintree Wellness Spa, eats them straight up. “Or sliced on sponge cake with fresh whipped cream,” she said. “Or in a smoothie—oh wait—in a daiquiri garnished with mint.” Dr. Neetu Dhiman, a local naturopath at Brio Integrative Health Center, said she is obsessed with blackberries, not strawberries, but when she does eat them, she eats them straight up. Sue Reid, my foodie friend, said, “The simpler the better. We have them with Chantilly cream, dip in sour cream then brown sugar, with a good balsamic, or Cointreau.” Lillian Kroeker, my mother, said, “Eaten right away. Then I add them to cereal, combine with fresh salad greens, add to ice cream, and best of all, in a strawberry pie. The first year I lived in BC, I picked strawberries at a farm in Abbotsford. I ate all I could, warm from the sun, fresh picked off the plants.” Chef Ann Kirsebom, caterer and creator of my favourite—Tequi-Lime Sauce, said, “They are so precious and, being a purist, I don’t do anything

El-Ramly elected to BC Soccer board by Don Fennell Sports Editor One of Richmond’s most dedicated soccer personalities is expanding his reach. Aiman El-Ramly, who most recently chaired the Richmond Girls’ Soccer Association and previously was district chair, has been elected to BC Soccer’s board of directors. One of four new directors, elected by the provincial membership, El-Ramly brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to his new position which is initially a two-year term. “I’m looking forward to serving the greater good of soccer, while still continuing my ties with Richmond,” El-Ramly told The Richmond Review Tuesday. “I was hoping to join BC Soccer because I see Richmond as a real centre of excellence and I think the lessons I’ve learned locally I can (contribute) on a provincial level.” El-Ramly said soccer is advancing tremendously throughout the province and he is anxious to help generate the current level of excitement. “And with Vancouver hosting the 2015 Women’s World Cup , this is a wonderful time for soccer in B.C.,” he said. In addition to serving on the provincial soccer board, El-Ramly will continue to play the game at a recreation level, coach a local ladies’ team, and coach his daughter’s under-18 squad. BC Soccer’s annual general meeting weekend also constituted a number of membership meetings including a youth member forum, adult member leagues forum and a diversity working group forum. Discussion at each of the meetings

will help to further shape the direction of priorities of the association within the strategic plan. “The AGM weekend is a great opportunity for the Board, staff and membership to come together to appreciate what we have collectively delivered in the previous year, discuss the challenges we face and look at the many opportunities that we can take advantage of as we look to grow and develop the game of soccer in BC”, said Roger Barnes, president of BC Soccer. “I am pleased with the very positive feedback we received from members on the progress we are making, the support we are providing them with and how we can continue to adapt to their needs in a very dynamic soccer environment”.

Sports Editor The Richmond Raiders had their chances Sunday—plenty of them in fact—but in the end still couldn’t solve the North Delta Longhorns. And so for the second straight season, the Longhorns are the BC Junior Football Tier 2 champions after overcoming a 12-3 deficit to defeat the Raiders 13-12 before a large and enthusiastic crowd at Minoru Park. The Raiders, which also lost to the Longhorns in last season’s title game and twice during the 2013 regular season (2524 and 17-13) were the better team in the opening half as their lead would suggest. But they began to wear down as the game progressed, and midway through the

fourth quarter the Longhorns engineered an impressive touchdown which they converted to take a 13-12 lead. Then with just under two minutes to play, the excitement level reached a feverish pitch.

Hunter Lake, who had scored Richmond’s only touchdown early in the first quarter, switched to quarterback, and threw a pass to Matt Adams who scampered down the sidelines for the apparent winning score.

However amidst the celebration, the Raiders and their fans hadn’t realized a flag had been thrown in the backfield for what turned out to be a holding call nullifying the touchdown.

“Winning is everything, losing sucks” had always been Fred Dietrich’s motto. But what really helped the 2013 Richmond high school tennis champions get to the top this season was hard work, a good attitude and practice. The team never missed out on any practice opportunities and even in poor weather conditions the Colts still took the motive and practiced indoors. With the help of two professional coaches, Fred Dietrich (retiring after 42 years as Richmond High’s coach) and William Wang, the team worked together and improved strengths every time. After all their hard work, the Colts defeated Burnett in the Richmond final May 6 and from there prepared for provincials. On May 23, the Colts headed to Hollyburn Country Club for their first two games. and the following day won all three games at the Burnaby Tennis club to place ninth in the province. The ranking was definitely not the goal they had in mind, but the Colts admit to having a blast during the provincials. They’re already looking forward to next year’s tennis games when they’ll host the provincials.

sports Dedication to defence delivers gold for Islanders Combining a dedication to defence with timely hitting, baserunning and stellar pitching, the Richmond Islanders 2001-2002B team won the North Delta U12B invitational girls’ softball tournament last weekend. Undefeated in roundrobin play with wins over Ridge Meadows Rage 8-5, Surrey Storm, the 2002 Richmond Islanders and the Fleetwood Force, the Islanders 2001-2002 reached the final with an inspiring 8-3 semifinal playoff win over the Rage in which Megan Saez Co gave up only three runs on four hits and struck out seven Rage batters over four innings. The tournament final saw a great matchup between the only two undefeated teams as the Islanders outlasted the North Shore Stars 8-6. Against the heavyhitting Stars, both Islander pitchers Isy Wick and Saez Co combined to allow only six runs on eight hits and struck out nine over seven innings. A key moment in the game came with the Islanders trailing by one in the second inning and the Stars looking to add to their lead. Saez Co, then catching, made a spectacular play to snag a pop-up at home plate and threw to first

Kick to win sails wide From Page 17

At this point it appeared all the Longhorns had to do now to secure the win was to take a knee a couple of times and let the clock expire. But on third down, they apparently took a knee too soon and with a third of a second remaining on the clock the Raiders got the ball back just inside the Longhorns’ 30 yard line. The Raiders decided rather than kick the ball through the end zone for a rouge, which would have forced overtime, they opted to to go for the win by attempting a field goal. However, the ball sailed wide right of the uprights and the Longhorns, rather than concede a single point, were able to take the ball out of the end zone and preserve their one-point cushion.

“CHOCOLATE”, ID# 288801, NEUTERED MALE, DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR, 7 YEARS 5 MONTHS

Chocolate arrived at the SPCA due to tragic circumstances, and he has recently come back to the shelter after being fostered. His foster mom says once he is comfortable in his forever home he can be quite chatty. He is not a lap cat but will show affection by lying next to your feet when at the computer, meowing for frequent head scratches and the occasional tummy rubs. He does not care to be picked up but enjoy his important playtime! He will do best in a home where there are no other pets.

Pots ‘N Paints at Richmond Cultural Centre

Beautiful works of art, all featuring pottery, went up on display at the Richmond Cultural Centre last Friday for the opening night of Pots ‘N Paints, a juried exhibition put on by the Richmond Artists Guild and the Richmond Potters Club, presented by the Community Arts Council of Richmond. “Every piece has something that relates to ceramics in one way or another,” said Lin Richardson, the president of the Richmond Potters Club. The presentation hall at the Cultural Centre has been filled with

paintings and pottery, created using a wide variety of materials and techniques. “We really show a wide range of what can be done with clay,” Richardson said. Both groups of artists were pleased with the turnout for opening day of the exhibition. “It’s great, we’ll show our work anywhere,” said Marv Skelton, the president of the Richmond Artists Guild. “It’s worked out really well.” Skelton hopes that the show will help promote visual arts. “You don’t want to see it drop off,” Skelton said. “If these arts aren’t preserved, they’ll be gone.” Pots ‘N Paints will be on at the Cultural Centre until June 23rd. Admission is free.

Mary MacNeil, Diane Morley and Arlene Skelton. Tracy, Jarett and William Richardson.
