‘Nightmare’ predicted with pool closure Treed corner in Minoru Park suggested for new pool to keep existing one open by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter City council is being urged to keep Minoru Aquatic Centre open while a new pool is built to avoid shutting out swimmers for two years. “It’s going to be a nightmare and its going to create an awful lot of complaints,” said Ian MacLeod, chair of the Richmond Aquatics Services Board. “I’m there every day and people complain if the water temperature is one degree different.” Ahead of council’s approval Monday of a $109.4-million plan to replace three aging civic facilities, MacLeod told elected officials the rebuild of Minoru will result in a complete shutdown of the pool for 27 months and disrupt swimmers throughout the city. “We are really concerned about what it will do to programs and access to the 1,100 people at Minoru and 2,500 people across Richmond if we’re two years without a facility.” Council’s plan calls for the demolition of Minoru Aquatic Centre, Minoru Place Activity Centre and Fire Hall No. 1. Although detailed designs have yet to be completed, all will be rebuilt in their same locations. Seniors would get temporary space across the street in the former Richmond RCMP detachment, and Richmond Fire-Rescue services would be temporarily relocated. For pool users, the city plans to turn Steveston Outdoor Pool into a year-round facility with a $2.1-million temporary roof, and possibly rent private pools. Another possibility—although not budgeted—is installing a roof over South Arm Pool. Senior staff have considered the possibility of keeping Minoru Aquatic Centre open during construction, but determined new foundation work would compromise an aging

structure sensitive to cracks. MacLeod urged council to consider building the new pool farther away—at the corner of Minoru Boulevard and Granville Avenue— a spot occupied by a few dozen old trees, which MacLeod suggested could be replaced elsewhere. “It seems to me there’s a pretty good argument to be made that spending somewhere between $2 and $5 million to do temporary facilities elsewhere could buy an awful lot of trees.” Robert Gonzalez, general manager

of engineering for the city, said siting the new pool at the corner might allow the city to keep the existing facility open, but that could come at a higher cost, with more work to reduce risks to a pool already prone to leaks. “While it’s not without risk, it is possible to maintain Minoru pool open but not the seniors centre,” Gonzalez told council. Coun. Harold Steves, who is calling for a complete redesign of the area, also urged staff to consider alternative locations for the new pool,

noting disruptive foundation work would only be temporary. “I think we can build a pool somewhere on site without shutting the existing pool down,” he said. “A couple of years without the major pool is going to be a problem.” On Monday council also approved the hiring of Stuart Olson Dominion to manage construction of the three projects. The firm, which will be paid $2,250,000 for its services, was among 15 that bid for the job. Councillors acknowledged public calls for a referendum, but rejected

the idea. “I think sometimes there’s a council responsibility to take action and that’s what we were elected to do, and this is one of those cases,” said Coun. Ken Johnston, noting the projects replace existing facilities. Mayor Malcolm Brodie agreed. “Dare I say this isn’t TransLink. We’ve got to take some action. We can’t avoid our responsibility nor should we avoid our responsibility by putting it through a referendum,” he said. “We’ve talked about it for so long it behooves us to get moving.”

CUPE education workers picket school district offices by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter An information picket line was formed Tuesday morning around the Richmond School District’s administration building on Granville Ave. at Minoru after CUPE education workers issued 72-hour strike notice to the district. CUPE local 716 is the employees union of the Richmond Board of Education, and represents some 1,000 support workers. This week’s job action wasn’t meant to disrupt services, and nobody was barred from exiting or entering the school district building. “This picket line is for information and to help the government understand that we are serious about getting back to the bargaining table in order to reach

a fair agreement,” the union said to its members in a letter obtained by The Richmond Review. “We will also be showing the government that we are organized and committed to making this work and that, if we are not back at the table soon, an all-out strike in September is inevitable. No one wants that. We would rather be at our jobs, supporting the district and earning a respectable wage.” According to the letter, the last time the union met with the employer was in April. “At that time we were told there was no money available for any wage increase. You will note that once the Liberals took power again, there was money to increase staff wages in their offices.” According to CUPE, action will be happening in every district of the Metro Vancouver area as well as the rest of the province.

Manoah students are DARE grads Grade 5 students at Manoah Steves Elementary School received certificates from the Richmond RCMP after successfully completing their DARE, anti-drug abuse program. The Drug Abuse Resistance Education program was founded in Los Angeles in 1983 and provides children with the information and skills needed to live drug and violence free. Students at Manoah Steves were asked to write a brief essay about the important life lessons they had learned. Sara Jones, 10, was one of three students selected to share their essays with their classmates and family members in attendance. She wrote about the importance of not giving in to negative peer pressure, and the dangers and health risks linked to smoking cigarettes and bullying. —Martin van den Hemel

Patient runs for Richmond Hospital Andrew Campbell, grateful for care he received, raises money for hospital at the Scotiabank Vancouver Half-Marathon A local lymphoma patient ran 21 kilometres in support of Richmond Hospital Foundation at the Scotiankbank Vancouver Half-Marathon & 5K on Sunday morning. Andrew Campbell, 23, was diagnosed early this year with lympho-

ma, a type of blood cancer. While receiving care at Richmond Hospital’s Cancer Care Clinic, Campbell decided he would run the Scotiabank Vancouver Half-Marathon to raise funds for the hospital. With less than two weeks until the event,

has lived in the Richmond community for his entire life. In December 2012, he felt a small lump on the right side of his throat, but he ignored it amidst the hectic month of university exams and holiday family activities. Andrew finally went to the doctor in the New Year and after a series of tests, he was diagnosed with lymphoma. His treatments began in February and just two weeks ago, he was told that he is now cancer free. He said he owes his strength and success not only to the doctors and staff at Richmond Hospital, but also to his family and friends, who have been there for him every step of the way. Andrew’s childhood friend Jeff Homer signed up to run along-

to fundraise for local health care. “People at Richmond Hospital might be going through something similar to what I went through, or something completely different— it’s scary and frightening,” Campbell said. “If I can do anything to improve their situation, or help them in any kind

Seniors get active for Alzheimer’s disease fundraiser by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Residents at Fraserview Care Lodge had full schedules last Friday—a day of games, activities and even a piñata. The 100-bed complex care home played host to an Alzheimer’s Association event called the Longest Day, a fundraiser that recognizes the strength, passion and endurance of those facing Alzheimer’s disease. Partnering with Intellicare, staff organized a day full of activities—from hockey and balloon volleyball to bingo and Jenga—while raising funds to support the research and efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association, a global nonprofit organization dedicated to care, support and research. Local musician Dan Propp entertained residents at the June 21 event, which also included breaks for tea—donated by Steveston’s Adorabelle Tea Room. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive and degenerative brain illness, which causes thinking and memory to become seriously impaired. Donations to the cause can be made at tinyurl.com/fraserview.

he Canadian dollar is sinking. Gas prices have been going up for the past month. Banks are making noise about raising mortgage rates. The housing market is cooling. The weather seems changeable on the hour.

It must be summer. This coming Canada Day holiday weekend is the traditional start of vacation season. Time to get away from it all. And with the ever-increasing

gloom and doom that seems to drain our optimism and energy at a quickening pace, it’s never been more imperative to tune out and step back. At least for a stretch. Getting away from the workplace, turning down the busyness of our lives is an important change to routine. It reduces anxiety and stress, allows us a chance to recharge, maybe even refocus. Holidays make for happier, more motivated employees. But Canadian holiday entitlements lag behind those enjoyed

by workers in many other countries. We get a minimum of 10 working days off depending on the province and tenure of employment. That’s supplemented by five-10 public statutory holidays, like Canada Day. Australian workers get 20 working days off, plus 10 paid public holidays. Brazilians enjoy 22 working days off, plus a 33 percent premium on top of their regular pay. Workers in Denmark get 25 work days off plus an additional nine public holidays. German workers get four

weeks off plus nine-13 public holidays. In Finland, the minimum mandated holiday time is 30 days. Even workers in developing countries like India are granted 12 work days a year for holiday. But in the United States there’s absolutely no legal provision for mandated holiday time. Employees are completely at the mercy of their employer. Canadians may not feel we get enough holiday, but at least we get something. —Burnaby NewsLeader (Black Press)

Clark’s cabinet rookies handed hot files

B.C. Views

Tom Fletcher

here are nine new faces in Premier Christy Clark’s cabinet, seven of them elected to the B.C. legislature for the first time on May 14.

They have been handed some of the hottest problems, and Clark’s marching orders in “mandate letters” for each ministry. And this is the start of a four-year term, when unpopular reforms are attempted. Take Amrik Virk, the former RCMP inspector from Surrey who’s suddenly in charge of advanced education. His mandate includes: “Review the student loan program to make recommendations for improvement to ensure the loan program is meeting the needs of today’s students.” Virk must also set targets to “match the skills we need with the skills we are graduating” and require post-secondary schools to “ensure student seats are being filled.” B.C. can’t afford to keep cranking out university grads with $50,000 in debt and no job prospects in a system that’s subsidized 65 per cent. Virk will be working closely with Education Minister Peter Fassbender, who must “ensure seamless transitions” from high

Tom Fletcher/Black Press Richmond Centre’s Teresa Wat (front row left), the new Minister of International Trade, has to find a way to continue the growth of lumber and other exports to China, India and elsewhere on the Pacific Rim, argues Tom Fletcher.

school to the workforce for post-secondary trades and apprenticeships. In his spare time, Fassbender is to overhaul the school district bargaining agency and achieve a 10-year peace with the teachers’ union. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton has worked as a Crown prosecutor, so she’ll have some insight into the system that still grapples with Stanley Cup rioters from two summers ago. Her orders are to get traffic tickets and other administrative penalties out of the courts, keep working on integrating police fiefdoms and generally treat the constipation that afflicts law enforcement today. Oh, and get that new Okanagan prison built, to relieve a system that has inmates living in tents.

And examine whether to spin off the Liquor Distribution Branch into a Crown corporation, a possible prelude to selling it. Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s first test was a grilling by the Vancouver media. Yup, this Kamloops hayseed has been to the Big Smoke a few times, ridden that fancy SkyTrain and taken the odd ferry, too. Now he has to impose the ferry route reductions that have been worked on by two previous ministers, and push Metro Vancouver through a referendum on ways to fund its own transit. If more tolls or taxes are going to be implemented, now is the time. Coralee Oakes has made a political leap from Quesnel city hall to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural

Development. One of her key tasks is to invent a framework for a “rural dividend” from liquefied natural gas development in northwestern B.C. Oakes has to figure out how to “better provide provincial support” to sport and cultural organizations, but do it with no new money. All ministers have strict instructions to balance their lean budgets and take part in the latest “core review” to identify government functions that can be sold, delegated or shut down. New Minister of International Trade, Richmond’s Teresa Wat, has to find a way to continue the growth of lumber and other exports to China, India and elsewhere on the Pacific Rim. On top of that, the always-delicate softwood lumber agreement with

the U.S. expires in three years. The last major eruption on that front was in 2009, when B.C. cut stumpage rates for remote coastal areas to give communities muchneeded employment. The Americans were livid, just as they were with our beetle-kill harvesting efforts. And of course, the U.S.-directed environmental movement continues to target Canadian industries. Third-term MLA John Rustad gets aboriginal relations, with specific instructions to deal with gas and perhaps oil pipelines through his Nechako Lakes constituency.

MP should step up in funding new seniors housing project

Don’t clutter Garden City Lands with shrines

Editor: Kudos to Richmond city council for its decision to proceed with rebuilding the Minoru seniors centre, Minoru Aquatic Centre and Fire Hall No. 1 at Granville and Gilbert. Each of these facilities no longer meets today’s needs of our larger community and in the case of the fire hall also needs to meet seismic and emergency command centre demands. What is missing from this proposal however is a seniors housing component. Everyone who has looked at the redevelopment of the seniors centre has commented on the need to build a low income seniors residential tower above or adjacent to the new seniors centre. The seniors centre provides activities for seniors plus food service. For many seniors in our community this centre is the focus of their social life and for many others provides the one full hot meal of the day they enjoy. The city has the land for a seniors’ residence that is available for no cost, but the problem is the money to construct the tower. The financial resources of the city in the affordable housing fund have been allocated to the new seniors buildings under construction on the Kiwanis site across from the Bay department store. City staff reported to council that they believe no funds for seniors housing are available from the federal or provincial governments. I believe that city council should formally ask the two senior levels of government for funds to construct the seniors’ residential tower. The construction cost could be carried by the way of a mortgage to be repaid out of subsidized rents. The time is advantageous with record low interest rates. This is a particularly opportune time for our federal Member of Parliament, Alice Wong, to step forward and to solicit a financial contribution from the federal government. The federal government has partnered with the city through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation many times in the past to provide affordable housing for many groups in our city. Alice Wong is also the Minister of State responsible for seniors and therefore has a special responsibility to look after seniors needs. If she cannot get any federal funds for the seniors housing component she could try getting infrastructure money for the seniors centre instead and then the city could build the residential tower with the money it would save from not funding the seniors centre. Either way, seniors in the community would get a new activity centre and more affordable housing units. Over to you, Alice. Greg Halsey-Brandt Richmond

Editor: Re: “Garden City Lands should be turned into a park with monuments of temples, shrines, statues, gardens, churches and mosques,” Letters, June 19. The last thing this wonderful piece of future greensward needs is to be cluttered up with monuments to various and sundry deities! Anybody who feels the need for spiritual satiation can take a stroll down No. 5 Road and partake of all the myths and magic that percolates within these shrines to man’s self delusions. That the denizens of these houses of faith call this area “the Highway to Heaven” explains all we need to know about their grand hopes and dreams. In fact a visit to this infamous area will either turn you into a wide-eyed believer or a latter

Garden City Lands doesn’t need temples and shrines Editor: "Richmond should showcase its ethnic diversity at the Garden City lands,” wrote Eric Miller in a recent letter. I agree with Mr. Miller's letter that Richmond has a vast cultural diversity, but Richmond is not the most ethnically diverse city in North America—in Canada it's Toronto. The Garden City lands should be made into a park for everyone to enjoy, a large children's playground able to accommodate lots of children. Benches scattered throughout the park, shady areas with picnic tables, possibly a water feature somewhere in the park.

It does not need monuments and education on the world's religions, temples, shrines. etc. If people wish to educate themselves they need only to visit a temple, mosque or church where they would be made welcome. As for tourists wanting to view Richmond's ethnicity, they can tour Richmond, either by public transit or private tour bus and see all the religious facilities, ethnic shops and malls and other attractions Richmond has to offer. Richmond does not need any more taxpayers’ money spent on things that already exist. L. Haudin Richmond

day “Doubting Thomas” just like me. We should take a leaf out of some of Europe’s wonderful gardens and make it a place of peace and tranquility and if found necessary to have a monument or two, throw in the odd statue of one or more of Richmond pioneers of which there are many, as a visit to one of our local pubs where these worthies’ pictures are enshrined, will attest. Alan Halliday Richmond

Bubbles and old memories Editor: Re: “I wish I could love bubbles again,” Letters. I appreciated this letter very much. I’m not in any grandparent stage yet and might not have that fortune as Mr. Bob Niles did, have two magnificent granddaughters. I remember when I was a little girl growing up in Asia I loved bubbles too, the homemade ones

mixed with soap and water. I blew them with a drinking straw from the window of a 10th-storey apartment. Though I couldn’t follow how far those bubbles might travel between those congested high-rise buildings. I flew a kite from my window too, just a piece of notebook paper. It didn’t fly at all. Life is so different now in my 50s, still working to provide for my youngest child’s education. For my children, I wish I could let them choose what kind of life they want to live and do anything following their hearts, not like we did when we were young—we didn’t have a dream, didn’t have a chance to fight for it—we just followed a path that laid in front of us. Or, I should say the new generation age between 20 to 30, they have difficulties to find their path because they have too much choices and freedom to explore, to wait and to put it in action.

letters How Onni can make amends Editor: In January 2007 when presenting a rezoning application for development of Imperial Landing, Onni recognized that due to the significant decline in the fishing industry, there would be no demand for maritime related support services, such that the maritime mixed use concept would result in vacant maritime shop areas. Despite this well known negative consequence, Onni Development applied in March 2008 for a development permit based upon the original maritime mixed use zoning approved. This effectively increased the land area for buildings by 19,406 square feet and compounded the potential for vacant maritime space to approximately 56,866 square feet. For an experienced developer such as the Onni Group, to seek approval of a plan which they themselves had considered not economically viable, leaves its motives open to question. Onni owes the community an explanation! In 2007 and 2010, in line with a concept introduced by Onni, which was to plan the area east of Easthope as residential and commercial/retail to the west, suggestions were presented of plans which could have provided the following: 64-68 condo residential units; three buildings limited to two stories, with the most westerly building including six residential units above

commercial/retail; the lower height improved the southerly outlook from Bayview St.; a north/south four storey building at the east limit of the site; a green park/plaza area open to the waterfront between English and Easthope; a good chance of approval at the required public hearing. In July 2011, when Onni decided to implement the provisions of the development permit, it not only disregarded its own “intelligence,” but failed to respect the recorded priorities of the public and showed virtually no interest in recognizing the importance and potential which the historic Imperial Landing site and the walkway experience had for the residential community and visitors. Grass areas are not included and at ground level, the dominant view is of concrete and glass. Onni is apparently gambling on a “bail-out” from the community, to allow the leasing of the 56,866 square feet of potentially vacant ground level “maritime space,” for retail/commercial use. This could result in a significant gain for them. The situation Onni is in, was knowingly and clearly of its own making. I believe, Onni should recognize that what it has produced for this special piece of Steveston waterfront, missed the mark in terms of what was possible and what the community expected. It is time for Onni to make amends,

Onni recognized that due to the significant decline in the fishing industry, there would be no demand for maritime related support services, such that the maritime mixed use concept would result in vacant maritime shop areas. in a way which will serve the best interests of the community. First of all, Onni should explain its motivation in applying for the development permit which increased building space and the vacancy problem and then proceeding to implement it in July 2011. As a start in making amends, Onni should dismantle the square steel framed Building 3, located just east of the Easthope throughway. It is one level of 1855 square feet, open above to the roof, which is the ceiling about two and a half stories in height. There is no convenient ground level parking and this structure offers nothing which justifies its existence on the site. Removal would definitely improve the openness and outlook to the waterfront.

tastes better knowing they’ve been gathered just down the street from us on one of our fertile farms. For our family, the making of strawberry freezer jam is a way to contain the sunshine and sweetness of summer. When we pound the berries into pulp and secure them in jars, we are preparing memories of summer for the gloomy months of winter. But that is a long way away. It’s time to celebrate the here and now. So let the summer begin, the strawberries are here. It is the time of picnics and neighbourhood barbecues. It is the time of getting outside into nature and our gardens.

in June. For those in the know, this is also the season that celebrates the arrival of other goodies such as sweet early potatoes, tender greens, and rhubarb. For pickers, it comes just ahead of raspberries, blueberries, and in the fall, of course, the pumpkin. “It’s very calming, isn’t it?” my friend said, bending over some plants this past weekend. We were just topping up the picking of three buckets of shining berries. With the sun on our backs and birds dipping overhead and singing, I had to agree. It’s nice knowing where your food comes from, touching the healthy plants with the “no spray” signs next to them, and chatting with the farmer. Even better is getting our treats home to eat. There’s nothing quite as delectable as a bowl of local strawberries dipped in some lightly whipped cream. Maybe a chilled strawberry pie, the one with the graham cracker crust, comes close but I suppose this is just a variation on eating them fresh. Best of all, it all

Hopwood taking game to national softball team by Don Fennell Sports Editor Jack Hopwood’s influence on his daughter Sara’s softball career can’t be understated. For much of her 24 years, he’s been a constant. And now that she’s been selected to play for Canada’s national women’s team his guidance is valued even more. “Since coaching with my dad (she’s assisted him with the Richmond Islanders 95A team for the last few seasons) I now have so much more respect for all the volunteer coaches out there,” Sara says. “It is a huge commitment coaching a team, and adding training for the trouts into the mix along with working a fulltime job it has definitely pushed me to have either earlier mornings or later nights to fit it all in. Luckily, I have supportive people around me that have helped me reach all my goals. On top of that, I get to coach with my dad, so I enjoy coming to the field everyday. Even though I’m pretty busy, I know that the hard work will eventually pay off and that I am lucky to be able to do all of the things I love every day.” Though Sara was initially surprised at being named to the national team, she is getting increasingly anxious to contribute any way she can—big or small.

SARA HOPWOOD

“I am most looking forward to training with all the players and learning from them as well as the coaching staff. I can’t wait to grow as a player and take what I learn and apply it back to coaching,” she says. “The team has so many talented individuals and the depth to be a real contender this year.” Between helping to coach the Islanders, an opportunity she describes as a blast—”they inspire me with their work ethic and are a constant reminder of why I love this game so much”—Sara has been able

to find time to continue honing her immense skills that have enabled her to enjoy such a prolific career on the diamonds. A member of The Richmond Review’s 30 under 30 list in 2011, the Hugh McRoberts Secondary grad has demonstrated an uncanny ability as a big-game player. In 2010, for example, she played in all 48 games for the Indiana-Purdue University Mastadons during which she made a school-record 155 at-bats, scored 35 times and batted .323. Her 35 RBI were the second most ever by a Mastadon. Then, just when it seemed her pitching career might be winding down—she anticipates playing either second or third base for the national team—she earned Softball BC’s senior A player of the year award after her 1.66 earnedrun average and .800 batting over the final three games lifted the White Rock Renegades to the Canadian championship. No one would be surprised if Sara comes up big again at the upcoming US World Cup of Softball VIII July 11 to 14 in Oklahoma City, the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship July 16 to 22 at Softball City, or the Pan American championship (Aug. 10 to 18 in San Juan, Puerto Rico). Richmond’s Marina Demore has also been selected to the Canadian national team.

Nurturing the little artist inside everyone is what the dance instructors at Defy Gravity specialize in. Building friends, mentors and champions is what they strive for. “What people love about us is the way we approach dance in a family-friendly way,” said studio director Rishell O’Brien, who has a Bachelor of Science degree from UBC, has studied biomechanics

and physiology, and trained in ballet, jazz, tap and hip hop for 15 years. Defy Gravity has all of the components in place for success. With a Physiotherapist and several mothers on staff, the instructors approach their work in an injury free and nurturing manner.

They encourage children to be comfortable with who they are, and to bring their own unique talents to the studio, and turn them into artists, not dancing machines. “Every dancer is unique and we honour that. And each child learns differently.” The facility boasts three large studios, each fitted with professional wood-sprung floors and the same vinyl dance surface

20 questions with Brian Williams, incoming RCC Chair 2013/14

Brian Williams, Richmond Chamber of Commerce chair – 2013-14. 1. How long have you been active in the Richmond Chamber of Commerce? Ashton signed up in 2004; however, I became actively involved in 2008. 2. What inspired you to become a member? We originally signed up with the Chamber to take advantage of the TD Merchant Visa rate. 3. Why do you think networking is important for business people? Networking is one of the most important ways in which a business advertises itself and forming relationships with other businesses within your community is mutually beneficial. 4. How have you seen the Richmond Chamber of Commerce benefit your practice? Firstly Ashton benefitted by the competitive Merchant Visa rate and continues to benefit from the Infinity Program. The ongoing networking and the introduction to Volunteer Richmond and eventually the Circle of Friends was a major benefit to Ashton. 5. What is your favourite thing about Richmond?

As a Richmond native, obviously I have a long standing relationship with the community and have many friends and business associates that keep me involved. In recent years, I have come to enjoy the many multi-cultural events and lifestyles that are offered in the community. 6. What do you like to do when you’re out of the office? When I’m not working I enjoy spending time with my family. I also have discovered the joy of cycling and train throughout the year for several long distance bike races that take place in the summer months. I also enjoy motorcycling with a few close friends and have recently gone on some 7 day trips throughout the US and Canada. 7. What is your favourite Richmond event? The Steveston Salmon Festival is my favourite Richmond event. 8. Favourite sport or team? As I’m an avid hockey fan, the Richmond Sockeyes are very near and dear to my heart. 9. What book are you reading right now? I’m not currently reading anything but my favourite recent read is “Younger Next Year” by Chris Crowley. 10. Favourite movie? Night at the Roxbury. 11. What is some advice you would impart to our recent high school graduates? I would advise recent High School graduates to not panic about choosing a career right after graduation. They should take their time and investigate their options by perhaps even speaking with a career counsellor. Obviously, I am quite biased about the trade options for young people and one of Ashton’s new initiatives is to make presentations to high school students. I believe there are many misconceptions

about the trades and the more information young people have the better. 12. Where would you like to be in 5 years? We currently have a lot of changes happening within our company with regards to operations and systems. It is a very hands on project for us. Hopefully in 5 years all of the changes and improvements we’re making will be completed and I can take a step back from working so much and try to have a bit more balance in life. The ultimate goal is to be able to spend part of the year in Maui. 13. What do you think is the greatest challenge facing the business community in Richmond? The Richmond Chamber recognizes that one of the biggest challenges facing Richmond businesses is the shortage of skilled labour. 14. What are the advantages of being a member of the RCC? The biggest advantage of joining the Richmond Chamber would be the exposure through the directory and the networking events. 15. What do you hope to accomplish in your year as chair? My biggest goal is to increase membership. There are approximately 1,000 members currently in the Chamber even though there are over 12,000 current Richmond businesses. 16. Ashton Service Group seems to lead with a philanthropic spirit in Richmond, how do you see that spirit carrying through the Chamber during your board year? Another goal of mine is to further cement the relationship between the Richmond Chamber and Volunteer Richmond. As this relationship strengthens, the membership will become inspired by the success of the Circle of Friends. The Circle of Friends is an example of how businesses can make a

difference in the community which in turn will benefit them. 17. Project Emily is a great story that’s garnering a lot of buzz and support. In its early days, what made you confident that the Ashton Caring Team could take on such a large project? I had every confidence in the generosity and compassion of my associates and suppliers for this project. After just brief discussions, it became evident that Emily’s Project was very important for everyone involved. 18. Ashton Service Group is a past recipient of a Business Excellence Award, and was also a finalist last year in the Leadership category, how does it feel to be recognized by your peers? It’s very gratifying to be recognized by our peers within the Chamber. We acknowledge that all of our success is due to the hardworking and dedicated staff on the Ashton team. None of those awards would be possible without their involvement. 19. How did winning a Business Excellence Award affect Ashton? After winning the Business Excellence Award, we became more actively involved in the Chamber which has allowed us to take advantage of all of the benefits of membership. 20. You recently completed a huge office expansion, what will this mean for Ashton moving forward? Aside from the primary benefit of added space for our staff, our proudest addition is our state of the art “Training Room”. This is where our technicians and all staff can get hands on equipment training and lectures to really make Ashton excel within our industry. We will be offering our “Training Room” to special interest non-profit groups within the community for their use in the evenings.

Keeley classic draws rave reviews Men’s fastpitch tourney ends in dramatic fashion; event gives local boys opportunity to tune up for U21 worlds by Don Fennell Sports Editor There was more than a hint of dėjá vu Sunday at Steveston Park. Not only did the inaugural George Keeley Memorial Fastball Classic offer quality play throughout, but plenty of drama as well—none greater than the Rebels’9-7 comeback victory over the Richmond Mariners in the final game. The former “Voice of Steveston Park” would have been further impressed that a couple of kids got the chance to record the balls and strikes and call the title game from Keeley’s old perch in the pressbox. “It was so fitting, and George would have loved it,” said Marshall Shields, tournament organizer and manager of the host Richmond Stealers. With one of the best pitchers in the business on the hill in Ryan Campbell, and ahead 7-3 going into the seventh inning, the Mariners seemed bound for victory. But as former New York Yankees’ manager Yogi Berra once put it so well, “It ain’t

over ‘til it’s over.” With the bases loaded and two away, Riley Singel stepped up to bat and blasted the ball over the fence with a grand slam home run to tie the game, enabling the Rebels to win it with two in the top of the 10th inning. The Stealers took third-place honours following a 2-1 loss to

the Mariners in a pitcher’s duel featuring Darren Strang (Stealers) and Campbell (Mariners). The tournament also afforded the province’s under-21 men’s team a chance to face elite-calibre players and pitching prior to the 2013 under-21 men’s international softball championship July 9 to 14 in Saskatoon. One of the best opportunities came in their first game Saturday, a 2-1 extra-innings loss to Victoria Swiftsure under the guidance of former Richmond Senior Men’s Fastball League pitching ace Sam Aldridge. Victoria threw Colin MacKenzie, generally regarded as one of the premier pitchers in the game, against the youngsters who overcame a late homer with a game-tying blast of their own with two out in the bottom of the seventh inning to prolong the game. “It helps us a lot to see a very good thrower like MacKenzie,” said Richmond’s Ryan Shields, at 17 the second youngest member of the provincial team. “He was very tough to hit against and with our age and experience we were fortunate

to get a pair off him. It definitely boosts your confidence to know we can at least push a team like that to extra innings, and it further prepares us for the kind of pitching we’re expecting to face at the (world championship).” Shields, whose competitive nature helped him earn a spot on the provincial team along with fellow Richmondite Jake Doyle, is both optimistic and realistic about the team’s chances at the worlds. “There are still things we need to work on like our hitting, but we showed this weekend we

have good depth especially since we were without our likely starting shortstop and catcher,” said Shields, who is generally happy with his own play. “I’m happy with my defensive play (at centerfield) but I’m trying to get more power in my swing, rather than just producing singles and doubles. I’ve got three games with the Stealers and our Midget team this week to continue to work on things. I’m hoping we can be at least in the top five in Saskatoon, but I know the competition is going to be tough and we’ll have to play our best ball. I see ourselves

as underdogs but we can be as good as Australia, New Zealand Argentina if we believe. I never see myself as defeated and I’m pretty sure most of the guy see it the same way. There’s no way we’re going to quit.” Despite his young age, Shields has fond memories of Keeley announcing Stealer games and says it was an “honour” to play in a tournament in his memory. “He sometimes let me hang out in the area where he announced and even sometimes announce the players,” said Shields.“He was always encouraging and funny.”

Harriet, Pin Pin, and Santana were surrendered to the Chilliwack branch when their owners were moving and could not find anyone to take them in. They made their way to the Richmond branch through The Drive for Lives program. Still quite shy and apprehensive, these guinea pigs will still need more socialization to be outgoing and be out and about all the time. Guinea pigs can live about 8 years and require a consistent diet with their pellets and daily greens. A large enough space for these three to roam around in will be key as they are bonded and rely on each other to feel comfortable in their environment. If you think these guinea pigs are right for you, please come down to the centre!

Bullhead Derby reels them in

Around Town Amanda Oye

atching and releasing the biggest fish was the goal of the day at the 24th annual Bullhead Derby, presented by the Steveston Salmon Festival and hosted by the Golden Rods and Reels Society at Garry Point Park on Sunday.

Riley and Shoko Nogami.

The event was designed “to introduce the kids to fishing and to just have a fun day,” said John Wells, the president of the Golden Rods and Reels Society and the chairman of the Bullhead Derby.

“We enjoy this thoroughly,” he said. The event had two categories: children 12 and under and seniors 65 and over. It is a great way for generations of families to have fun together, and has become a tradition for many. “We have parents who came out [as children] now bringing their children,” Wells said. Participants crowded along the shoreline at Garry Point and, with their rods, reels and bait attempted to catch the biggest bullhead fish they could. Prizes and trophies were given out to those who caught the three biggest fish, as well as to several other participants through a random draw. The derby acts as a kickoff to the Steveston Salmon Festival. Amanda Oye covers the social scene for The Review. She may be reached at amanda. oye@telus.net.

t’s hard to argue with learned meteorologists— especially when they’re predicting warm weather and sunny skies for Canada’s biggest little birthday party.

Volunteer organizers have brought back the favourite attractions that bring tens of thousands to the fishing village each Canada Day: pancake breakfast, parade, live entertainment, trade show, crafts and children’s activities. And, of course, the salmon bake. “How many people dig an open fire pit in

birthday. Each year the event draws an average of 70,000 people. “The two big draws are the parade and the salmon barbecue,” said spokesperson Janice Froese. “The parade is always so much fun.

or teenagers, it’s among the biggest challenges of boarding the tall ship Adventuress. But leaving cell phones and electronics onshore has provided many youth an experience like no other.

“What ends up happening is they start noticing each other,” said Catherine Collins, executive director of the Sound Experience, a Port Townsend, Wash.-based non-profit organization that delivers programs aboard the ship. “It’s a really powerful environment that develops.” The 41-metre (133foot) Adventuress—built in 1913 and celebrating its centennial sailing season this year—will sail into Steveston’s Imperial Landing this weekend for Ships to Shore Steveston. The June 29 to July 1 event coincides with Steveston Salmon Festival celebrations on Canada Day. The belle of the ball is Adventuress, but another popular favourite returning to Richmond is HMCS Oriole, the Canadian Navy’s sail training vessel and longest serving commissioned ship. Adventuress is currently on a six-day voyage in the San

where teenagers—who at times can emotionally check out—choose to check in. “It’s one of the only environments that I know that this happens, and happens quickly. It can happen on a camping trip or in a wilderness environment, but you can’t leave a ship, and you can’t even

really leave a ship emotionally. You have to be engaged.” The two-masted schooner—last appearing locally at Garry Point Park in 2011—has beaten the odds like few ships can do, said Collins. Launched in 1913 in East Boothbay, Maine, Adventuress was built for an Arctic expedition to secure a Bowhead Whale specimen for the American Museum of Natural History. On board was Roy Chapman Andrews, the museum’s naturalist, who would later discover fossilized dinosaur eggs in Mongolia and serve as the inspiration for Hollywood’s Indiana Jones. The whale eluded the expedition, but Andrews did pivotal research along the way on the Pribilof Islands’ dwindling fur seal population. In 1914 the ship was sold to the San Francisco Bar Pilots, and she plied the treacherous waters off the Golden Gate for more than three decades. During the Second World War, she served the U.S. Coast Guard patrolling the coastline. By 1950, ships of her vintage were becoming increasingly rare. But after years of neglect, Adventuress was saved, and today has a mission to educate, inspire and empower a community to make a difference for the future of our marine environment. Said Collins: “If I would wager a guess, I think she’s still here because she’s so beautiful.”

Volunteers load soil into wheelbarrows to fill newly-constructed garden beds earlier this year in the Steveston Educational Garden. The Steveston Salmon Festival will offer people a chance to see the new garden, located just north of the Steveston Community Centre parking lot. Master gardeners will be on hand to talk about upcoming programs where people of all ages can learn about growing food in their backyards and balconies. “We really want to turn it into a proper learning centre for gardening,” said Janice Froese, executive director of the Steveston Community Society.

Experience adventure and family fun in historic Steveston on Canada Day weekend Tall ships, pirates, mermaids, two national historic sites and Canada’s biggest little birthday party are yours for the taking this Canada Day long weekend. Two great free family festivals will share the stage in historic Steveston Village—the 68th annual Steveston Salmon Festival and the 3rd annual Ships to Shore Steveston festival, featuring free viewing and boarding of a dozen notable and historic vessels.

The City of Richmond presents Ships to Shore Steveston 2013 from Saturday, June 29 through Monday, July 1 on the Steveston waterfront. The festival relives the days when Richmond’s Steveston Village was a major port-of-call for fleets of sailing ships from around the world. Leading the fleet into port this year are the colourful HMCS Oriole, the Canadian navy’s longest serving ship, and the majestic, 100-year-old schooner Advenutress. They will be part of a dozen unique and historic boats ranging from fishing vessels to search and rescue craft to tall ships available for free boarding and viewing throughout the Canada Day weekend. Pirates, mermaids, musicians, food trucks and more will also keep you entertained as you walk the planks of the Steveston boardwalk to visit your favourite ships. The ships will be docked at Imperial Landing and at Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site, along the historic Steveston waterfront. The festival runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 29 and 30 and from noon to 5 p.m. on July 1. Ship viewing and boarding are free, but boarding space is limited and there may be short waits at peak periods. Visit www.richmond.ca/shipstoshore for complete event information.

Ships of all stripes, including the Canadian Navy tall ship, HMCS Oriole, are setting sail for Ships to Shore Steveston this Canada Day weekend.

Ships to Shore Steveston takes place just a few minutes walk from Steveston Park, home of the Steveston Salmon Festival. Visit www.stevestonsalmonfest.ca for a complete festival schedule. Steveston’s two national historic sites, the Britannia Shipyards and the Gulf of Georgia Cannery, will also be open throughout the Canada Day weekend. Britannia Shipyards will be offering several special activities including site tours and the chance to meet Fishing the Coast author Don Pepper. Drop by both national historic sites to view great exhibits on the history

of Canada’s west coast fishing industry. And don’t forget to take a stroll through the quaint Steveston Village centre where you can visit dozens of great shops and restaurants, buy freshly caught fish on the dock, head out for a whale watching adventure and much more. Parking in Steveston is limited. Festival goers are encouraged to take transit, cycle or walk to avoid traffic and parking congestion. High heels, scooters, wheelchairs, strollers, skateboards, bicycles and animals are not permitted on the floating dock.

Festival organized by dedicated volunteers From Page B3 Over 2,300 plates were served last year. Cost is $15 per plate, cash only. Other highlights include the Japanese cultural show, food fair and a youth rock festival featuring local bands. And this year, Funtastic-Inflatables is bringing the fun back to the carnival and midway in Steveston Park. It’s a festival organized by dedicated volunteers. “We’ve got over 400 volunteers. It cannot happen without the volunteer team. It overwhelms me every year at how committed and how generous people are with their time,” said Froese. The fun begins bright and early at 6:30 a.m. with a pancake breakfast at Steveston Community Centre. The Children’s Bike Parade will provide the first spectacle, at 9:30 a.m. The main Canada Day parade cruises down Moncton Street at 10 a.m. with some new entries this year, including a goat from an East Richmond daycare. Other four-legged friends will take part, courtesy of local animal rescue groups. Also expected are emergency vehicles and music courtesy of the 15th Field Regiment Band and Delta Police Pipe Band—a band that performed with Paul McCartney at B.C. Place last fall. Froese said a float from Save-On-Foods is also not to be missed. “I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag but people are going to be excited when they see it rolling down the street.” Following the parade, the festival will be officially opened with the singing of O Canada. Headlining the entertainment on the Main Stage is singer-songwriter Andrew Allen, while the band In Too Deep leads off the Youth Rock Fest Stage. Most attractions are open until 5 p.m. Festival-goers will also find something new on the grounds this year—the tram barn in Steveston Park. The building, at the corner of No. 1 Road and Moncton Street, will be staffed with interpreters from Steveston Museum and be open for viewing. Also new is the Steveston Educational Garden, located just north of the Steveston Community Centre parking lot. Master gardeners will be on hand to talk about upcoming programs where people of all ages can learn about growing food in their backyards and balconies. Parking in Steveston is limited and visitors should expect some road closures due to the parade. Arriving by bus, bicycle or foot is recommended. Shuttle service will be available from the City of Richmond Works Yard, 5599 Lynas Lane, and the old Steveston High site on No. 2 Road.

War Amps bring safety message to parade The War Amps float in the Steveston Salmon Festival Parade on Monday, July 1st, will pass on the vital Playsafe/ Drivesafe message and will commemorate a special milestone for the association—its 95th anniversary! Local members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program are proud to be part of the Association’s 95 years of “amputees helping amputees: and will be joining the float. The following “Champs” will participate as Safety Walkers or will ride on board the float: Maple Ridge residents, Julia Chiasson, 13, and Brayden Ellison, 14; Owen Greaves, 11,

and James Kwaksistala, 8 of Richmond; and Yusuf Azim, 12, Aimee Brennan, 12, Arianna Hunsicker, 9, and Tyra Helland, 11 of Surrey. The colourful, animated float is specially designed to capture the attention of children, with ASTAR, the gold robot from Planet Danger, reminding them that he can put his arm back on but they can’t. To further reinforce the message, the Champs shout out the Playsafe message to kids and the Drivesafe message to adults along the parade route.

68th Annual Steveston Salmon Festival A tram attraction Rich Lam photo A new attraction for festival-goers this year is the Steveston tram barn. This new 2,370-square-foot facility at the corner of No. 1 Road and Moncton Street houses the No. 1220 interurban tram car. The mid-restoration tram was built by the St. Louis Car Company in 1913. It was later bought by the B.C. Electric Railway Company to carry passengers from Vancouver to Steveston, according to the City of Richmond. During the Steveston Salmon Festival, the barn will be open to the public, and Steveston Museum interpreters will be on site.

Singer-songwriter’s career has taken him to Los Angeles, but Canada Day is luring him back by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter It’s a land of freeways, beaches and a population quite literally 100 times greater than Andrew Allen’s hometown in Canada. And it’s here, in Los Angeles, that the singer-songwriter is now sharing his music—a growing repertoire of songs that include “Loving You Tonight,” which landed him a record deal. But Allen is still a Canadian kid, and he’ll be north of the 49th parallel July 1 to help celebrate Canada’s biggest little birthday party. Headlining the Steveston Salmon Festival on Canada Day, Allen will follow up his performance with another, at Coquitlam’s LaFarge Lake Park, to continue his tribute to Our Home and Native Land. These days Allen is known for keeping a busy schedule, one that includes plenty of studio work. His latest pop song, an upbeat boy-meets-girl single, is scheduled for release this week. He’s also committed to his fans. Allen has a big online presence and updates followers on his life each week in an online video. In the weekly video blog, he also answers questions thrown at him, including one this week about how he overcomes stage fright. “I don’t know,” he said. “I’m always nervous before I go and play, but it makes it that much more fun.” Since jumping head first into a music career five years ago, Allen has been busy making a name for himself through tours in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. This while collecting awards, chart spots and fans. With similarities to Jason Mraz, Maroon 5 and and John Mayer, Allen has opened for big acts like Bruno Mars, OneRepublic and Train. He was last in Richmond a year ago, performing at RichCity Idol, the annual high school singing

competition at Gateway Theatre for which Allen also served as a judge. His advice to young performers? Breathe it in. “If there’s any way to get up on stage and take a big deep breath first—and be able to experience all the people who are there watching you and supporting you—then as soon as that song’s done, that’ll always be a part of your memory,” he said in a recent interview with The Richmond Review. It was 2008 when Allen and wife Julia quit their jobs and sold their house and belongings. They bought a minivan and Allen took his music on the road, performing 210 shows a year. That hard work paid off with “Loving You Tonight,” a song he wrote in Nashville and played for his wife via Skype.

“I could tell right away it definitely had those special components to it. Every now and again you write a song (that) has something different. That was definitely one of those songs,” he said. He recorded it and independently released it to Canadian radio. The song picked up steam on the charts and the Epic Records label noticed, signing Allen, releasing the song in the U.S. and bankrolling a video. The song exploded and was featured in the 2011 Taylor Lautner film Abduction. “It ended up being much more than this cute little song I had written for the love of my life, and instead had blown up into this thing that a lot of people could identify with.” See Page B19

Allen plays a guitar built in Uganda From Page B18 His newer songs carry a similar buzz—and he’s got a lot more tunes he’s eager to share. “I think that there’s an honesty to my writing, and I think there’s an identifiable character with a lot of them,” he said. “To tell an old school love story in a song is a new concept in this day and age, so I’d love to see myself carry that torch and sing at that top level, but I’d also like to be able to write those

songs for other people.” When Allen plays in Steveston July 1, he’ll likely have his go-to guitar with him—a Duncan Africa— built in Uganda to support a village and finelytuned by Surrey-based guitar master Jay Duncan. Said Allen: “It still smells like wood. It wasn’t made in a factory. There’s extra glue in some parts, extra resin here and there, little cracks. I just think it’s so cool.”

A popular centrepiece to the Steveston Salmon Festival is the entertainment on the Main Stage. Located in Steveston Park, this stage will showcase music and performing artists throughout the day, following the singing of O Canada at noon. Headlining is singer-songwriter Andrew Allen, whose pop songs have drawn him comparisons to artists like Jason Mraz and Maroon 5. Richmond’s own Shanna Lynn will perform at 2:30 p.m.— a singer whose country vocals are well-known to many locals. Lynn is also known to Steveston residents as a spin instructor. Urban Dance Co. will lead a performance at 3:30 p.m., followed by a zumba demonstration by the local group ViVaZ at 4:30 p.m. On the other side of Steveston Park—at the lacrosse box—five local bands will be performing on the Youth Rock Fest Stage. In Too Deep is first up at noon, followed by Six and Counting, Search Party and Oden. The band No Boy will close the stage with a final performance at 4 p.m.

New look Sammy set for Salmon Festival by Don Fennell Staff Reporter

ammy the Salmon has never been more ready for the annual Steveston Salmon Festival. A year ago, organizing committee members noticed he was looking a little tired and sent him off to a mascot spa for a rejuvenating makeover.

Thanks to the excellent work of Josh Willson of JBW Studios, Sammy is renewed and ready to get back for the annual Canada Day festivities. “He’s still approachable but more durable too,” says Beth Ovenden, president of the Steveston Salmon Festival Society. Coun. Bill McNulty, who was on hand to help a new, sharper-looking Sammy make his grand debut at the Steveston Farmers and Arti-

sans Market at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery earlier this month, says Sammy is a fitting reflection of the stature the Steveston Salmon Festival parade and the accompanying events of July 1 are afforded. For more than 30 years, Sammy the Salmon has represented Steveston and Richmond at countless events locally and throughout the province and is again looking forward to being out front in the Salmon Festival parade.

Bonnie Isaak will be honourary parade marshal by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

onnie Isaak’s last name was Davidson back in 1962, when she wore the sash as the Steveston Salmon Festival’s Salmon Queen.

And it was a lucky yellow marble, and her hard work selling tickets to the community, that led to her honour. This Monday, she’ll get to relive the experience as the honourary parade marshal. Isaak, now 68 and a Surrey resident, was just 16 and a student at Richmond High when she received the honour as Salmon Queen. She told tickets for what was

then known as the Salmon Queen festival. Richmond was divided up into areas—including South Arm, Steveston and Sea Island—with the girl who sold the most tickets being named the princess. By virtue of selling the most tickets in her division, she was named the Princess of the South Arm Division. Marbles were then allocated based on the number of tickets sold, and a person selected as the community’s “best citizen” pulled out a marble, which happened to be yellow, Isaak’s colour. Jean Mill, the retiring Salmon Queen of 1961, presented her with the crown and cape, which is currently on display in the Steveston Community Centre. “I received a lovely silver dresser set, $50 towards my dress, and all the glory of being the Salmon Queen of 1962,” she said. “The Steveston Hotel donated a lovely Bulova gold watch to me that still keeps ticking away after all these

years.” Isaak said when her family first moved to Richmond in 1957, there was just a single traffic light, at No. 3 Road and Westminster Highway. Back then, Lansdowne horse racetrack was still in operation, and the bridges connecting Richmond, Mitchell Island and Vancouver had to be opened to allow the boats to pass underneath. “One of my most favourable times during my reign as the Salmon Queen of 1962 was riding on a huge float that not only carried six princesses, me and four Samoyed dogs in the Pacific National Exhibition parade in Vancouver,” Isaak wrote in an e-mail. “I remember that day so well as it poured buckets but we were so happy to be in the parade and our float won...” This Monday, sunshine is in the forecast, so Isaak appears as though she’ll be able to relive her shining moment minus the soggy stuff.
