End of an era at Richmond High

Richmond teachers held one-day strike yesterday by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker joined teachers picketing outside Matthew McNair Secondary School on Tuesday. Teachers are holding rotating one-day strikes throughout the province from Monday to Thursday of this week. The rotating strike impacted Richmond schools yesterday. Iker thanked teachers for their support as the province and the union continue to negotiate for a new collective bargaining agreement. The two main issues that need resolving are class size and composition, and a fair wage increase for teachers, he said. Judging from the honks of vehicles passing by the picket line on No. 4 Road, just north of Williams, there’s no shortage of public support for teachers. One driver even pulled over to voice his support, handing a box of Timbits to Rich-
mond Teachers Association’s Al Klassen. “I want to be totally supportive, all the way. It’s really important,� the driver said. Elsewhere, Steveston Pizza delivered pizza to some picketing teachers as a sign of support. In Hamilton, some students supported their teachers by making signs and bringing treats. The B.C. government is not planning to legislate a settlement to the latest teacher strike, which is shutting down schools in each district for a day this week. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Monday the government is looking for movement from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation on its wage and benefit demands, but isn’t going to impose another contract extension on the union. Iker told reporters that bargaining table negotiations were to continue today. After that, the teachers union will decide on whether to proceed with further job action.

Song show will be a ‘highlight of their lives’ Popular Richmond singing competition RichCity Idol has outlasted Canadian Idol by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter
T
eachers, mentors and coaches have relentlessly told their disciples you get what you give.
Terry Che photo This year’s crop of RichCity Idol competitors include Carlos Vidanes (Steveston-London), Carol-Lynn Gee (McRoberts), Chris Yan (McMath), Jessica Wong (Burnett), Jiana Gonzales (Richmond), Kamaira LeBlanc (Boyd), Kavya Balajepalli (Cambie), Kennedy Williams (MacNeill), Maria Encarnacion (McNair) and Suani Rincon (Palmer).
For 10 Richmond high school students this Thursday night, the same is true. They’ll be at Gateway Theatre, attempting to suppress the stress of singing in front of the biggest crowd they’ve likely ever faced. Natasha Jung, executive producer and co-creator of this 11th annual evening known as RichCity Idol, has similar advice for the teenaged singers—you get what you put into it. “Put in the time and dedicated effort and you’ll see great results,” she said. “Use RichCity Idol as an opportunity of a lifetime to perfect your craft, grow as a person and create lasting friendships through music.” The show is a tribute to the young talent in Richmond. On stage is one top singer from each public high school in the district. Behind the scenes are dedicated student volunteers Jung helps guide along the way. The fact RichCity Idol has outlasted the TV talent show it mirrors—Canadian Idol—is a testament to its longevity. Canadian Idol ended in 2008 after six seasons. “We’ve survived long after Canadian Idol ceased production because the opportunities we provide are still relevant to students and to the Richmond community,” said Jung. “For organizers and singers alike, being involved in RichCity Idol is an opportunity to connect with fellow students and be part of something bigger that we hope they look back on as a highlight of their lives.” As Canadian Idol helped propel numerous singers to stardom—Carly Rae Jepsen and Jacob Hoggard come to mind—RichCity Idol gives participants valuable experience in singing, competing and developing leadership skills. This year’s event will feature past idol personalities behind the judges’ table. Recording artist Paige Morgan is a 2006 RichCity Idol winner, and

radio personality Andrew Sosa is a former host. RichCity Idol is one night, but the lead-up to May 29 is much longer. Organizers are chosen at the beginning of the school year, and are required to go through an interview process. From there, lead producers build their team by picking applicants from across the district. Then comes the ideas, plans and schedules—and the event comes to life. “The amount of organization that is required is immense. It’s like the students are running their own business or have another full-time job on top of school,” said Jung. Idols are made after being chosen through a singing competition at their local high school. Working with a rehearsal manager, the idols hone their talents and select group songs. Choreographers are brought in to show the singers some moves, and professional vocal coaches and other performers help develop their talents. RichCity Idol aims to develop confidence and a strong work ethic in the singers, said Jung, while giving them a creative outlet that also creates long-lasting friendships. Said Jung: “At the end of the day, we want to make sure the idols have opportunities to grow as singers and as people.”

Four new off-leash areas suggested by Richmond park planners Proposed areas will be one-year pilot projects by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond City Hall has unveiled a plan for new off-leash areas around the city, two weeks after a report showed one-quarter of dog owners were flouting leash rules on West Dyke. At a council committee meeting Tuesday, staff presented plans for four new fenced areas where fidos can frolic tether-free: Garden City Community Park, South Arm Community Park, McCallan Neighbourhood Park
and a lot on Elmbridge Way. “With increased growth in Richmond’s population, and approximately 5,200 licensed dogs, there has been an increased demand for dog off leash areas where residents can exercise their pets off leash responsibly,” said Dee Bowley-Cowan, acting manager of parks programs, in a staff report. A temporary off-leash area at Dover Park— where feedback from area residents suggested it had limited popularity—would be moved to McCallan Neighbourhood Park, along the Railway corridor, as a one-year pilot project. The three other new off-leash areas are also considered pilot sites. Fences would go up this summer and be reviewed after a year.
The dog area inside Garden City Community Park would be along Granville Avenue near Ash Street. At South Arm Community Park, the off-leash area is proposed for a 1,400-square-metre site near the tennis courts. The site at 7300 Elmbridge Way is on land once home to a controversial sculpture depicting communist dictators Lenin and Mao, and is next to the ICBC claims centre. Staff suggest the plan benefits those who own dogs and even those who don’t. “The privilege of being able to access safe and accessible off leash areas is valued by dog owners and also welcomed traditionally by non dog owners as the program provides certainty to the community as to where responsible dog off leash use is permitted,”
noted Bowley-Cowan. City council must still approve the plan. Another off-leash area is planned for City Centre in the future Capstan Village Park. It’s scheduled to open in summer 2015. After the city revealed plans for stronger enforcement of leash laws this summer, dog walkers told The Review the city was lagging behind in providing off-leash areas. “Richmond desperately needs more offleash dog trails and not just areas to hang out,” said Jezebel Erding of Woofer Walkers Dog Walking Services. “Dog owners, professional dog walkers and dogs all want to go for a decent walk, and not just in some square enclosed off-leash space. “Those are all the reasons why there are dogs off leash on the dyke.”

Charges recommended following death of six dogs by Frank Bucholtz
Doors Richmond June 7 and 8, 2014 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Black Press The B.C. SPCA announced Monday it will be recommending charges of animal cruelty against a dog walker, after six dogs died in her care in Richmond on May 13. Dubbed the “Brookswood Six” by many media outlets, the dogs were initially reported stolen from the Brookswood dog walking park by dog walker Emma Paulsen. After a massive search effort and fundraising to assist in the search, on Sunday, May 18, she admitted that the dogs had died after being left in her vehicle on a hot day. At that time, she said that the dogs had died in Richmond. Their bodies were found in an Abbotsford ditch, before being reclaimed for the necropsies. The B.C. SPCA is still completing its report, which will be submitted to Crown counsel within the next few weeks. Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer for the B.C. SPCA, said enough evidence has been obtained in the investigation so far to warrant a recommendation for separate charges of animal cruelty for each of the six dogs under the Criminal Code of Canada.

“Obviously the ultimate decision about whether or not charges will be laid rests with Crown counsel, but the preliminary necropsy results and other evidence gathered in our investigation so far supports our recommendation,” said Moriarty. She said that the SPCA could not discuss further details of the case at this point, but would be submitting its full report to Crown counsel as quickly as possible. The B.C. SPCA investigates nearly 8,000 complaints of animal abuse and neglect each year, under provincial legislation that gives it the power to do so.

Richmond High toy drive founder calls it a career Fred Dietrich is retiring from his job as a shop teacher after 43 years at Richmond High by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Richmond High shop teacher Fred Dietrich will leave some big steel-toed shoes to fill, when the founder of the school’s annual Christmas toy drive rides into the sunset after 43 years next month. Thousands of people he’s never met have benefitted from his community-minded spirit, as he enlisted his students to repair bikes and toys for less fortunate families when he first became a teacher at Richmond High.

EDITORIAL: Time to solve teachers dispute
R
ichmond teachers were on picket lines yesterday as part of one-day rotating strikes throughout the province.
Considering the years of poor relations between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the provincial Liberal government, it may not be the last time pickets go up at schools. Teachers have legitimate grievances about cutbacks, class size and composition and lack of support staff, among others. The provincial government has legitimate concerns about how taxpayers are going to pay for it all. They have shown some compromise in dropping the unworkable proposal of a 10-year contract, but the two sides are still far apart. The BCTF hasn’t exactly been the easiest union to deal with in the past with its ask-for-the-moon demands and often fiery rhetoric. However, BCTF president Jim Iker is a relatively new face and so far is playing it cool, which will result in broader public sympathy for the teachers’ cause. Meanwhile, the Liberals do not have a great track record in dealing with teachers either. A judge ruled the Liberal government bargained in bad faith during the last contract go-around and the government’s attempts to limit teachers’ bargaining rights have been tossed out in several judgments. Then there’s the question of priorities: There’s no money for the raises

for the people who teach our children while B.C. Ferries bosses and senior civil servants get big raises. However, other unions have settled for less with government, while the teachers seek 15.9-per-cent over four years. With the possibility of more job action from teachers or the threat of a lockout at the end of the school
year by the employers’ association, this could be a long dispute. The B.C. government has said it doesn’t want to legislate a new contract (and since it rarely sits, it’s unlikely they would get around to it for a while if they changed their minds). As talks continue, maybe the two sides can have some meaningful discussions towards a settlement.
We’re not holding our breath. It’s time to appoint a mediator and if the two sides still can’t hammer out an agreement, then move to binding arbitration. School strikes cause a huge disruption to everyone involved—students, parents, teachers, administrators. If the two sides can’t reach an agreement, it’s time to bring in some outside help.
Are our public schools really racist?

Martin van den Hemel photo Teachers walk the picket line at McNair Secondary yesterday.
ast week’s column on the proposal to add a mandatory high school course on the effects of Canada’s aboriginal residential school policy attracted a range of responses – some of which are printable. I referred to comments made by B.C. Teachers’ Federation vice-president Glen Hansman at a 2012 aboriginal education conference, where he insisted that “racism is the norm in public schools – still today” because of a colonial perspective that remains ingrained in our culture. Aboriginal education has
been built into social studies curriculum for years. It’s come a long way from my high school days, where Mr. Spillers, my Grade 8 English teacher, assigned us an essay proposing solutions to Canada’s “Indian problem.” That was 1972, and it was the only time the subject came up. My lone aboriginal classmate wasn’t around by then. I never saw him again after we graduated from our rural elementary school. How are things now? I received a thoughtful letter from a young woman who graduated from high school in the Okanagan last year. She writes: “The idea that information about residential schools is not presented to students is entirely incorrect. The social studies curriculum that I went through included a large emphasis on First Nations culture and post-European colonization history. “First Nations studies began in elementary school and continued to the last mandatory social studies course in Grade 11. I can say with no hesitation that if anything, I have been informed too often about
the residential schools, and the horrendous things that occurred there. “If aboriginal culture courses are poorly attended, I would be inclined to suggest that it is because students are tired of being taught the same limited perspective over and over, and, if of European descent, being made to feel somehow responsible for all possible troubles plaguing First Nations today.” Another reply I’d like to share is from Keith Thor Carlson, editor of the Stó:lo Nation historical atlas I referred to last week. Carlson is now a history professor at the University of Saskatchewan, specializing in the Salish people of B.C. and the Métis of Northern Saskatchewan. He writes: “We do need to teach the history of the First Peoples of this country in our schools, and we do need to keep vigilant about the racism that continues to haunt the hallways and classrooms where our children learn. “Of course aboriginal history should never be reduced to victim history, and with the Stó:lo atlas we sought to show the complexity of aboriginal

history, and we sought to show that not only are there aboriginal people in Canada’s history, but that Canada is in aboriginal peoples’ histories. “There were times in the past when aboriginal people were victimized (residential schools being a tragic example), and there were times when aboriginal people showed
great agency (retaining the masked dance, and continuing to fish salmon, for example). “Knowing that native society was not a Utopia when Europeans arrived does not take away from the importance of learning about the full history of aboriginal people and their relationship with Canadian society. “And of course, as Ernie Crey has reminded me many times, let’s never forget that native rights are not based on race. Rather, they are rights based on prior occupation. And let’s also not forget that it is British and Canadian law that recognizes aboriginal peoples’ inherent rights. “Let’s teach good history to our youth so they can understand the complex relationship between settler society and aboriginal society. Through knowledge comes understanding and through understanding can come reconciliation.” Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Better Grades Happier Kids Recycled books are put to a good use
Editor: Re: "Offleash complainers must be pretty important," Letters. Letter-writer Lori Yonin believes that about two dozen people in our city “have the resources of the RCMP, city bylaw officers and the parks department.” She is dead wrong. She says that, because “only” a few dozen people have complained about off-leash dogs on the west dyke (where dogs owners unleash their dogs with impunity,) they must be “pretty important” to get the city to enforce the bylaws. But the number of complaints that city hall receives is just the tip of the iceberg. For
Editor: We have been flooded recently with excellent information from the city about the new recycling system. But there is one glaring omission —books. Why have we not been told about the recent addition of books to the materials which can be left at the Lynas Lane recycling depot? If that new novel that you bought and read once is not a keeper, surely someone else would like to read it. If you leave it at the Recycling Depot (or at any Richmond Public Library branch) it will not be shredded for waste paper. No, if it is a candidate for resale it will appear at a Friends of the Library “Whale of a Sale” with the proceeds then donated to the Richmond Library. Janet Clark Richmond
each complaint received, I can assure her that there are literally dozens of other people who just quietly fade away and try to find another, safer place to enjoy a morning walk. To be confronted by an unleashed dog is terrifying for many people. I doubt that any of us dyke walkers are “pretty important,” as she asserts. We just want our bylaws enforced so that we can enjoy the wonderful walking trails in Richmond with our children and grandchildren, without fear of being jumped on and bothered by unleashed dogs. Marilyn Baker Richmond
While monitoring off-leash dogs, try outof-control cyclists, too Editor: Let’s see if I have all of this in proper perspective. The RCMP has so little real policing to do In Richmond that they send three officers to walk the dyke in search of off-leash dogs and dogs without licences while cyclists, who don’t need licences, ride three abreast and/or at exceptionally dangerous speeds unchecked along the dyke pathway arrogantly endangering walkers and families with small children. Two years ago I witnessed a fast moving cyclist force an elderly woman to quickly step out of his way and tumble down the embankment, sustaining several cuts and bruises. The cyclist didn’t even look back and neither of the two cyclists coming the other way that witnessed the incident deemed it necessary to say anything to him in passing. If you are as sick of these self-centered cyclists as I am, emulate the one or two vocal people who have been complaining about dogs and query the RCMP about when they are going to start being as vigilant about policing the inconsiderate and sometimes dangerous behaviours of reckless idiots on their metal chariots as they are about checking for dog licences. Those of us, and we are many, who would like to enjoy an unobstructed and safe stroll along the dyke path would appreciate it. Ray Arnold, Richmond

community Richmond Sunrise Rotary Gala raises almost $100,000 Richmond showed its heart at the annual Richmond Sunrise Rotary Gala recently. And the community’s charities will be among the beneficiaries. Close to $100,000 was raised at the May 9 gala attended by a record 450 guests. The money will go to assist various local projects such as FeedU-Cate, a program started by former school district co-ordinating principal Glenn Kishi that helps provide fund-
ing to schools that run breakfast and lunch programs for students. Some of the money will also go to provide scholarships for deserving students, said Sunrise Rotary president Kal Mahal. Mahal said the $100,000 is also a record amount raised through the annual auction, which was headed by Richmond Sunrise Rotary member Melinda Newman.

disease. It attacks the motor neurons that transmit electrical impulses from the brain to the voluntary muscles in the body. When they fail to receive messages, the muscles lose strength, atrophy and die. The Richmond-based ALS Society of BC is dedicated to providing direct support to ALS patients, along with their families and caregivers, to ensure the best quality of life possible while living with ALS. Through assisting research, the society is committed to finding the cause of, and cure for ALS. To register or donate visit www. walkforals.ca/richmondvancouver.

Richmond youth soccer rebrands as Richmond FC by Don Fennell Sports Editor Richmond Soccer is no more, with the local boys’ club having been rebranded Richmond FC. Effective Friday, with an eye to the future, Richmond Football Club (soccer is most commonly known as football around the world) marks a new direction while continuing to celebrate the past. The revamp also includes an updated vision, mission and values developed with input from parents and players. “It’s a big, but exciting change for the club,� said Dan Brodie, director of marketing and brand. “And so far it’s been overwhelmingly positive. In fact I haven’t heard anything negative at this point.� Brodie said the name change is intended to help easily identify Richmond teams and make it easier to brand, hopefully helping to encourage more youth to take up soccer and continue playing it for life. The logo itself, a soccer ball featuring a mariner’s wheel and waves as a backdrop, recognizes Richmond’s location as an island city. The year 1955 is also noted, acknowledging the inaugural season of youth soccer locally. “It really helps too that both the Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto ‘s Major League Soccer teams use FC in their names, making it a little more common,� said Brodie. “We did a lot of research into selecting a name that was simple and easy to remember, while avoiding a name that was representative of A European team or city like United or Barcelona. We didn’t want the name to be divisive.� Brodie said he was surprised how quickly members approved the rebranding. Following a survey which was initiated early last season, he anticipated it would take a least another year before a new name would be unveiled. Now, he hopes the new logo and jersey will be on display as soon as this July—in time for the Provincial A and B Cups. Brodie said the Richmond FC brand also helps to reflect a goal of making soccer a lifelong activity. He added there are already a number of teams playing at the senior level sponsored by Richmond FC, featuring recent graduate players.
Summer Camps... social, creative and active!
A lifetime Richmondite, Brodie began playing when he was old enough to walk and established a lifelong friendship with Rob Banks. Banks’ dad was their coach in youth soccer for six seasons. Today, Brodie and Banks are co-coaches of Richmond’s under-12 select team. “It’s the type of (lasting friendship) we hope the young kids coming up will enjoy,� said Brodie.

Elementary athletes deliver extraordinary results by Don Fennell Sports Editor Resembling a lineup akin to a popular Disneyland ride, a group of Grade 3 girls waited nearly 40 minutes Friday for their chance to compete in the long jump at the B.C. Elementary Track and Field Championships at Minoru Park. Such was the popularity of the 46th annual meet, hosted over three days last weekend by the Richmond Kajaks. For longtime volunteers like Bob Riddell—who with the assistance of some of the Kajaks’ older junior development athletes—co-ordinated many of the track events, it was an encouraging sign.
Riddell has long appreciated and promoted track and field for its many qualities—from the basic fundamentals of running, jumping and throwing to the supportive environment among the competitive stream of athletes. The unique show of support for fellow athletes was apparent Saturday, when many of the Kajaks’ junior athletes performed the wave in support of teammate Carson Bradley as he blazed to victory (while wearing the colours of the Dixon Dragons) in the 13-year-old boys’100-metre dash. Bradley’s time of 12.40 seconds bettered his preliminary time of 12.54 and was a personal best. Don Fennell photos Richmond Kajaks’ junior development athletes did the wave Saturday in support of teammate Carson Bradley (right).

B.C. Chamber debates policy in Richmond for 62nd AGM
UpcomingEvents
T
MONDAY, JUNE 2
his past weekend at the 62nd B.C. Chamber of Commerce Annual General Meeting and Policy Conference, business leaders from across the province passed policies calling for energy policy reform, a new take on Property Transfer Tax and better oversight of product stewardship (recycling) organizations such as Multi Material BC. These policies were passed at the B.C. Chamber policy forum, the province’s foremost business gathering, held this year at the Sheraton Airport Hotel in central Richmond from May 23-24. This unique grassroots policybuilding forum brought together approximately 200 Chamber delegates from across B.C. to vote on new business/economic policies. Policies that are adopted become part of the BC Chamber’s advocacy agenda. This year, delegates voted on nearly 50 proposed policies. This year the Richmond Chamber of Commerce submitted an successful resolution calling on the Provincial government to work to facilitate the ability of specific industry groups to request creative responses to proven and targeted labour market needs through enhancements to the Provincial Nominee Program. “Our policy development process canvasses the best and brightest ideas from business leader’s right across B.C. Once again this year, this unique grassroots process has delivered some excellent policy recommendations to help enhance B.C. as a business jurisdiction” said John Winter, CEO of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce. Policies voted into force include: • Optimizing the Clean Energy Act for

Is Coming to Size You Up
Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.
Chapman is coming to RICHMOND ON MON. JUNE 9 TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

Supplement to the Richmond Review
Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

It is with profound sadness that we say goodbye to Sue, who passed away peacefully on May 22 2014. She managed her brief battle with courage and humour.

for a few hours each day, according to lawyer Joe Peschisolido, whose fi firm has been hired by the family after the City of Richmond applied to have the dogs destroyed. The Richmond Review revealed two weeks ago that volunteers and staff ff at the Richmond Animal Protection Society were barred from walking the seized dogs, which have been labelled as dangerous by the city. A society policy had prohibited anyone from walking dangerous dogs, which under normal circumstances would have been seized for a maximum of 21 days. Since they were seized on Oct. 25, following a minor biting incident involving a construction worker who suff ffered a dime-sized contusion to his upper thigh, the dogs have gained an estimated 25 pounds each.

The extra exercise, along with a chaang ge to their diet, has resulted in a notable up pticck in their health, Peschisolido said. The Nijjers are hoping their pets willl be returned and have built an enclosure th hey say ensures that the dogs never escape ag gain n. The enclosure was inspected by anim mal behaviour specialist Dr. Rebecca Ledgeer, who noted there are now three fences—eaach “at least five feet tall, robust and well-consstru ucted”—between the Nijjer’s yard and thee ad djaacent Henry Anderson Elementary Scho ool. “These fences prevent school children n from looking into your yard to see the dogs,, and also prevent the dogs from seeing out or coming within 20 feet of the property line,” Led dger wrote.

Please leave your name, phone number and address at City lawyer Kevin Westell argued before Judge Dennis Schmidt that the court didn’t have the power to grant an interim release of the dogs before a scheduled hearing on April 10 at Richmond provincial court. Fearing for the welfare of their pets, after learning they hadn’t been walked in months and had ballooned in weight, owner Nav Nijjer and his mother Prabjot Nijjer sought to have the court intervene and release the dogs prior to the court hearing. But it wasn’t all bad news for the Nijjer family, who have seen a significant improvement in the health of their pets, Axel and Paris. They appear to have lost between 10 and 15 pounds each in the past couple of weeks, are being walked daily, and are out in the yard

24TH ANNUAL SOCKEYE RUN CAR SHOW & SHINE
Annual spectacular set for Sunday in Steveston by Don Fennell STAFF REPORTER
The Sockeye Run is returning to Richmond Sunday. Not the salmon, mind you, but the 24th version of the specialty car show held annually in Steveston. Doug Harder has only been helping to organize the popular event for the last decade, but his enthusiasm for the extravaganza is contagious. With the help of a few colleagues from the Richmond Lions Club, for whom this is the biggest fundraiser of the year, Harder spends several months planning and then co-ordinating the show. “The whole club is really involved,” says Harder. “And the Steveston Merchants Association has come on board in a big way, not only endorsing it but providing prizes too, which has made for a really strong connection with the community.”
The range of cars in the show is extensive, spanning nearly a century—from a classic 1919 Model T Ford to the always-popular hot rods (typically drawing the most entries) and the appealing muscle cars. “What’s neat about the hot rods is they’re all unique and different, including different wheel combinations and engines,” says Harder. “And the muscle cars are often modified or restored, like your Corvettes and Mustangs which are 40 years old.” One of the biggest attractions at this weekend’s show may well be a $300,000 McLaren, imported by Motor Trends of Richmond. Harder says just about everything about the cars is judged by an expert panel—from paint and upholstery to alignment. There will also be plenty of opportunities for kids to get involved in this weekend’s show. They’re invited to participate in a pair of
challenges—a model car building contest from noon to 2 p.m., and Hot Wheels racing in the park, with a chance to win one of 100 Hot Wheels. “While these events (both free to enter) are about fun, it’s amazing to see what the kids can accomplish,” says Harder. “They’re so proud of what they do and it really endorses learning a hobby. It’s a skill they’re able to use their whole lives.” The show will be held at Steveston Park, at the corner of No. 1 Road and Moncton Street. Spectator entry into the Sockeye Run Car Show and Shine is by donation. Entertainment will include an appearance by local top-40 band Rainshadow. There will also be a concession on site featuring burgers, hot dogs, fries and drinks. A car cruise around Steveston Village will follow the show, after the final awards are presented at 3 p.m.
Hot Wheels racing in the park is among the many events at this Sunday’s 24th annual Sockeye Run Car Show and Shine.

24TH ANNUAL SOCKEYE RUN CAR SHOW & SHINE
Lions’ commitment to community heartfelt by Don Fennell STAFF REPORTER
To be lionhearted is to be stalwart, ready and able to serve others. That’s the motto of Lions Clubs International, and enthusiastically upheld by the Richmond chapter since 1946. Like Lions throughout the world, local members contribute time and skill to make their community a better place. And since the Richmond and Steveston Lions merged a few years ago, the conviction to assist others has become even stronger. One of the Lions’ greatest
contributions is helping youth, through support for both the Easter Seal House and Camp Squamish to the Richmond Colts Daycare Centre. They’ve also found time to gather eyeglasses to be distributed to those in need in economically challenge countries, and each year provide a scholarship to the Richmond School District, sending a graduating Grade 12 student to post-secondary school in a
trade of their choice. The Richmond Disability Resource Centre, Richmond Working Poor Fund and Steveston Salmon Festival are also among the Lions Club’s favourite initiatives. The annual Steveston Salmon Festival each July 1 is one of the largest Canada Day celebrations in the country, and the Lions are always centre-

stage with their time and energy. For a decade, the club held the always-popular beltsander drag races. One of the Lions’ lasting legacies in Richmond is the establishment of Lions Manor, a seniors care home facility that is now located in a renovated Bridgeport Road hotel. Another of the Lions’ longest-existing initiatives is its support for the Sockeye Run Car Show, which this Sunday (June 1) will celebrate its 24th anniversary. The event, in Steveston Park, is free to the public, the costs borne by the many participants and sponsors that support the club.
