Full teacher strike set for next week Study session Monday ahead of full walkout Tuesday

Martin van den Hemel photo Nader Hatami, owner of Steveston Pizza, has been supporting local teachers by handing out dozens of free pizzas at local schools. The father-of-three said he will continue to support teachers, who are poised for a total walkout on Tuesday.

The B.C. Teachers' Federation has served 72hour strike notice, setting the stage for total walkout next week. For parents with school-aged children, this sets up a challenging scenario, especially for those with kids in elementary school. But even moms and dads with pre-schoolaged children stand to be inconvenienced, as many daycares operate out of local elementary schools, which could be behind picket lines as soon as Tuesday. Eric Yung, vice chair of the Richmond Board of Education, said he's hoping the two sides will come together prior to any escalation in job action. "Obviously we would prefer a negotiated settlement, to resolve the uncertainty that has surrounded everything to date. We ask both sides to consider the needs of the children foremost and believe that a negotiated settlement is best for all sides." Asked about the impact this will have on parents, Yung said: "We're gravely concerned this has turned a corner from a protest to something that has gotten to actual implications that extend beyond just the labour strife... We

are now worrying about graduation and the balanced calendar schools, Spul'u'kwuks and Garden City." He noted that while most local schools wrap up the year on June 25, that's not true for Spul'u'kwuks and Garden City, and what a fullblown strike means isn't clear. Though he's hoping an agreement can be reached before there's a full-scale strike, Nader Hatami, owner of Steveston Pizza, is supporting local teachers. He's dropped off dozens of pizzas to teachers at local picket lines since the teachers began job action. Teachers' federation president Jim Iker said escalated job action would begin with a study session Monday, followed by a full strike starting Tuesday, if necessary. The Monday study sessions will see BCTF members meet offsite—schools won't be picketed but teachers won't be there. Bargaining is expected to continue through the weekend and Iker said he's hopeful a deal is still possible before the weekend ends to avoid a full strike. A full strike would close elementary and middle schools, while secondary schools would be open only to conduct exams for Grade 10 to 12 students, provided the Labour Relations Board makes exams an essential service.

Think tank says Metro cities have spending problem by Jeff Nagel Black Press A new report by the Fraser Institute argues Metro Vancouver municipalities have enough money—they just spend it too fast. The right-wing policy think tank tracked spending over 10 years and found total spending by the region's 21 member cities soared from $1.9 billion in 2002 to $3.3 billion in 2012. That 74 per cent increase was more than

double the combined rate of growth of population and inflation. Civic revenues grew 86 per cent over the same period. “If Metro Vancouver municipalities feel like they’re experiencing a fiscal squeeze, it’s certainly not from a lack of revenue," said study co-author Charles Lamman. "The real problem at the municipal level is poor control of spending." The report notes municipal spending in the region has grown much faster than that of the

B.C. and federal governments. Lamman said residents should question the value they get for municipal spending as the big increases often may not translate into more or higher quality services. While property taxes have grown relatively slowly, the study noted other sources of revenue have climbed quickly, including transfers from other governments. One source the report said has climbed considerably are fees charged to developers,

which it said could—if passed on to homeowners—artificially jack up the price of housing in Metro Vancouver. A big part of the increased spending reflects the growing population and services required in the region. Municipal representatives have taken issue with similar reports before, saying they are simplistic and fail to reflect government downloading and rapidly rising costs in areas cities have little control, such as policing.

Public art to capture Steveston High legacy Polygon planning public art piece as part of its proposed townhouse development on old high school site by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter The developer planning to change the landscape where Steveston High has long stood is planning to commemorate the site’s history with a public art piece. Polygon Homes Ltd., which is planning to develop a neighbourhood of townhouses on the site, is budgeting $170,170 for the art project, which will commemorate the halfcentury-old secondary school. A call to B.C. artists to submit early proposals closed last Friday. “Polygon views the history of the high school and its shared history among the lives of thousands over its lifetime as significant, and proposes that it be celebrated through a work of public art,” according to the proposal call. Steveston Secondary School opened its doors in 1955, starting as a junior secondary, and ending as a full-fledged high school. Polygon noted the school had a long history of community involvement. In 1988, a salmon hatchery was built at the school, al-

lowing students to participate in local ecology. In 1983, students sponsored an orphanage in Guatemala by fundraising throughout the school year. Groups of students would visit once a year and make improvements to the building. Today, former students are still active in an alumni association, which holds regular reunions and fundraisers for community projects. Its projects include fundraising for the public artwork Steveston’s Legacy. Created by Norm Williams, the bronzed sculpture outside the Gulf of Georgia Cannery features three figures from the 1930s fishing village. Polygon is expected to make a shortlist of potential artists later this month, with artwork construction set to begin this fall. Steveston High merged with Charles E. London Secondary School in 2007, becoming Steveston-London Secondary. The old Steveston High building—at 10440 No. 2 Rd.—has sat vacant ever since. Last fall Richmond School District officials announced it had sold a 3.2-hectare (eight-

Massey tunnel one of B.C.’s ‘worst roads’ Big heroin haul for The province is drafting plans to replace the tunnel with a bridge by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Traffic congestion in the George Massey Tunnel has landed the Fraser River crossing on the B.C. Automobile Association’s latest top-10 Worst Roads list. Released Thursday, the fourth annual list— determined by the association through a survey—ranks the tunnel No. 5. Silver Star Road in Vernon ranked No. 1. The only other Lower Mainland routes on the list are the Pattullo Bridge and Maple Crescent in Maple Ridge. Voters nominated 1,277 separate stretch-

year. This says to me that British Columbians want a way to express their road frustrations and appreciate the opportunity to have their

Cousin noted the survey is meant to highlight safety concerns and raise awareness of problem roads. “We all play a role in being safe on our roads. For drivers, pedestrians or cyclists, it’s about being mindful, following the rules of the road and watching your behaviour.” The province is drafting plans to replace the tunnel with a bridge as wide as 10 lanes. Ministry officials say the tunnel has 10 to 15 years of useful life remaining, and construction on a new span could start as early as 2017.

officials at YVR by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Two men have been arrested and charged in connection with the seizure of 35 kilograms of heroin following an 18-month criminal investigation that focused on drug trafficking via Vancouver International Airport. Late last month, Randy Norman Per, 42, and Tenny Guon Lim, 34, were arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. Per has been released by police, but Lim remains in custody. The arrest was the culmination of a co-operative effort between the RCMP’s Federal Serious and Organized Crime agency, Canada Border Services Agency and the Vancouver Police Department. “Organized crime groups continuously seek to penetrate legitimate systems to transport illegal commodities in order to achieve profit,” said Wayne Rideout, assistant commissioner of the organized crime unit. Per and Lim are scheduled to make their next court appearance on July 8 in Richmond provincial court.

Full strike imminent From Page 1 The province has pledged to end its partial lockout of teachers at the end of the school year to enable summer school operations, but it’s not clear whether summer school would happen under a full strike. The province has offered a $1,200 signing bonus if teachers accept its proposal of 7.25 per cent in wage increases over six years by June 30. The teachers’ latest proposal is for increases totaling 9.75 per cent over four years, plus partial cost-ofliving adjustments in each year tied to inflation. The two sides have differing estimates of the compounded grand total of the union’s wage demand.

acre) site northeast of the Alderbridge Way and Garden City Road intersection. The 385,328-squarefoot mall will boast up to 50 stores and commercial spaces, including a Walmart similar in floor area to the retailer’s Queensborough location. Guzzi noted SmartCentres has improved the quality of “architectural expression” around the perimeter of the development, particularly with building facades. At key corner locations, the mall will feature “lantern-like” treatments and more brick cladding. More pedestrian-friendly features have been added, with minor design changes, more landscaping, decorative paving and a public art installation in the central plaza budgeted at $155,077. Following a public hearing last fall, staff were asked to explore a potential agricultural buffer along Alderbridge Way that would create a separation from the Garden City lands across the street. That buffer will be a landscaped boulevard that will serve as a “visual screen,” with three separate rows of trees. One concern raised by the city’s advisory design panel at its March 5 meeting was that the mall was largely “turning its back on the streets.” Architect Christopher Block told the panel significant attention has been given to the mall’s appearance from the street, with mall corners wrapping around and extending the mall’s interior design. The site’s landscape plan includes 612 trees and 12,182 shrubs. A total of 172 trees were cleared from the site, including four tall trees. As compensation, 10 of the new trees will be five metres tall.

Cities fret over tax, farmland hit from medical pot growers by Jeff Nagel Black Press Metro Vancouver politicians are increasingly worried their cities will receive less in property tax if big medical marijuana producers set up shop on industrial land and then convert the property to farm tax status. In one example outlined in a Metro staff report, a 25,000-squarefoot warehouse in an industrial business park in Richmond that pays $33,500 in taxes to the city would pay just $395—a 99 per cent reduction—if a new pot producer moves in and secures farm status. B.C. Assessment has already ruled medical marijuana to be a qualifying agricultural use for the lower farm tax rate because it’s classified as “medicinal plant culture.” “It’s a pretty dangerous precedent we’re looking at here,” Rich-

mond Coun. Harold Steves told Metro’s regional planning committee June 6. The issue has left cities weighing whether to allow pot to be grown on farmland to avoid erosion of their industrial tax base. That scenario also concerns Steves, who said nobody wants to

“It’s a pretty dangerous precedent we’re looking at here.” — Harold Steves see “some big grey concrete box that looks like a D-Day bunker” erected in the midst of productive farmland, reducing the capacity to grow food crops. “If this is about bunkers with barbed wire fences around them, it should be in industrial areas,” said Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan.

He said it’s unfair to local cities that they may lose out while the federal and provincial governments stand poised to earn more tax revenue as medical marijuana becomes a commercial industry. “Why should municipalities subsidize the growing of marijuana through agricultural zoning and taxes while other orders of government make significant amounts of taxation?” Corrigan asked. New pot plantations will be “fraught with issues” and bear very little resemblance to conventional agriculture, he predicted. “Eventually these grow into winery-style businesses where there’s ancilliary uses, tasting labs and all sorts of fallout as a result of it.” The Agricultural Land Commission has already ruled medical marijuana can be grown on farmland in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

EDITORIAL: Give to charities wisely

t’s the season for fundraising. Every weekend it seems there is some sort of walk, run, bicycle ride, or obstacle course event to raise money for worthy causes like cancer research, sending kids to summer camp, diabetes.

The list goes on. Often participants have to raise a certain amount of pledges to enter the event. They spend countless hours soliciting family and friends to help out, organize their own fundraisers such as pub crawls, garage sales, car washes, and hot dog sales. It’s a symbiotic relationship that seems to leave everyone smiling, and satisfied that they’ve done some good and had a little fun along the way. But is it worth it? Since 2009 MoneySense magazine has graded the performance of Canada’s 100 biggest charities to determine whether money raised to support their causes actually reaches its intended benefactor. Last year those charities raised $4.5 billion. Of that, $3.4 billion went to programs the charities supported. The rest, presumably, was the cost of doing business, paying salaries, promotion, and staging events. Many performed admirably. Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart Charities, for instance, funnelled 88 per cent of its spending to programs that sup-

Have farmers been asked what they want?

Participants in the Terry Fox Run at Garry Point Park in Richmond support a foundation that puts 82.4 per cent of its money into cancer programs.

here’s been a lot of chatter supporting local food and to date, we’ve seen the growth of farmers markets, community supported agriculture, restaurants and distributors stocking local foods, local food processors, and much more. Well, what is the missing piece to all of this? Farmers. Have farmers been asked what they want out of all this? I’m reminded of a story told to me by a colleague who was pitching a local food market to Punjabi

farmers in Surrey. They were surprised that these farmers wanted nothing to do with it. Why? Because, no one had bothered to include these farmers or had bothered to address the deeper concerns of this farm population. In many countries, the poorest of the poor are often granted land through federal provisions. One such state is Brazil. This sounds great until you find out that these farmers were provided with the worst land which, by today’s farming standards, is inexcusable. Low quality soils, far away in forested areas, and distanced from large, urban markets. A similar situation exists here in Richmond too, where farmland is degraded or unused for decades. These small parcels are viewed as being too tiny to succeed and that there are no markets that would support this kind of smallscale agriculture. As a side note, there are few domestic policies that call for unused or under-utilized lands to be put into food production. These Brazilian farms went from barely being able to feed their families to earning a living providing food to state funded meal programs and initiatives. In the United States,

the U.S. Department of Agriculture is responsible for all food aid programs, domestic and international. American farmers profit from this initiative as their surplus crops are purchased by the federal government and provided to meal programs. Why can’t food aid become economic development? If we are engrossed and committed to localizing our economies, then federal, provincial, and municipal dollars should be leveraged into meeting a social and economic goal. Public food procurement is a guaranteed investment in a local business that creates jobs, and can mitigate some of the most difficult issues facing our impoverished communities. These kinds of policies can take years to fully realize. Despite the desire to have more local food get into all levels of society, something is missing. There is another level needed between wholesale distribution, which is unfair to farmers, and farmers markets, which are inaccessible to low and middle income groups. Many experts point to the need for something to fill this gap, such as a food hub or cooperative. The idea then would be to have municipal govern-

ment take a lead in convening the school district, charitable food organizations (e.g. food banks, community meals), health authorities, farmers, academics, restaurant owners, and other stakeholders to the table to think about collective purchasing and establishing goals for local economic development around food. With the Richmond Farm School program run by Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Richmond Food Security’s Incubator Farm program (which grows new farm businesses), and the City of Richmond providing land access to small scale

farmers, this is the logical next step. We need to set goals and targets (with appropriate milestones) around local and sustainably produced foods. This in turn helps build the local business community and leverages existing assets available in Richmond. Many have pointed out that government support of local farmers, by taking on the role of distribution, results in improvements to our health, our jobs, our education, and our society. A local food procurement strategy works to improve livelihoods and lives. This is one of the low hanging fruits; there are plenty of institutional models and we are blessed to live in a municipality that isn’t afraid of risk. Strong leadership and a collaborative mindset bring out the best in Richmond. This serves to support so many people in our city that are in need of a hand up—not a handout. Colin Dring is executive director of the Richmond Food Security Society, which works to ensure that all people in the community have access to safe, nutritious, culturally appropriate foods that strengthen our environment and society.

letters Teachers are warning the public of government’s failures in with principals and superintendents, who are not even part of the BCTF union. Why is there bad faith between teachers and government? Here are the facts as simply as I can state them. The B.C. Liberals declared teaching an essential service in 2002, in effect preventing teachers from legally striking. They broke (stripped) their contract with teachers, ignoring clauses regarding class size and composition. The Liberals have lost two times in court to the BCTF which challenged the contract stripping, in a 10-year legal battle that has consumed millions of taxpayer dollars that could have been spent on schools instead. Even now, while we are trying to arrive at a bargained solution, the Liberals are trying to make exams and report cards essential, which will have an even more harmful effect on teacher’s future leverage and ability to bargain. Everyone

knows the NDP has become virtually invisible since the last election. In a climate that amounts to a benevolent dictatorship, teachers find themselves fighting for a wage increase in keeping with the skyrocketing cost of living in this province, while trying to make some improvements to the public education system for students and their own children. I am not an idealistic fool. I will walk right to the edge, but I will not jump off. If the taxpayers of B.C. want me to teach their children in classrooms of 50 with seven or more special needs students thrown into the mix, I will do it with a smile on my face and continue to earn money for my family. But the public should realize that you get what you pay for. Teachers have attempted to alert you, the public, at great personal cost, that the government is shirking its responsibilities. The Liberals would like to steal your children‘s

But who’s responsibility is it to ensure better conditions for students? Don’t both the government and parents have a duty to properly fund the education system and advocate for a better education for children? Why should these responsibilities fall solely to teachers? It would seem that the medium has become the message— teachers have become public education. We have become parent, counsellor, and government watchdog. Politically, we are the ones who end up defending the system when it is in need of help, and are held accountable when it is not working. The government takes every opportunity to shift the blame for their failures onto teachers. They massage the facts until people believe that their version is the truth. For example, the government inflates teachers’ average salaries by using data that lumps classroom teachers

Editor: In light of the overwhelming “yes” vote by teachers to a full-on strike, I know there will be many cries of students being caught in the middle between teachers and government. In fact, it is not students who are caught in the middle, but teachers. Most union workers in the world do not advocate for a better product—they simply advocate for higher wages and better working conditions for themselves. The auto workers union does not care if GM builds a better car. The difference in education is that teachers actually do care, and the product is not an inanimate object, but a human being with a heart, mind and soul. The government is aware of this, and strategizes against teachers accordingly. They know that parents expect report cards and year end events, and that teachers will look like the Grinch for not engaging in these events.

Highway to Heaven forms association Editor: Richmond is a model of multiculturalism. This very diverse community is very proud of its intercultural harmony. Our No. 5 Road is home to more than 20 prominent places of worship. Some of the world’s top religions—Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism—are well represented on this Highway to Heaven. Its myriad of very impressive mosques, gurdwara, churches, temples, pagodas and religious schools is a true reflection of the Canadian mosaic. This Highway to Heaven is a great attribute to Richmond’s respect for diverse cultures and faiths. To their credit, City of Richmond, Richmond School District, Richmond Multicultural Community Services and various other agencies are doing an excellent job in promoting mutual understanding and intercultural harmony. In a sense, it is a total community effort to create such an environment. Highway to Heaven is a favourite field

trip destination for adults and children alike. Students and teachers from all over consider a tour of the No. 5 Road as a valuable learning experience. India Cultural Centre of Canada, home of Gurdwara Nanak Niwas, has the honour of being the first place of worship built on the east side of No. 5 Road almost 30 years ago. Since then it has taken the lead to bring together representatives of various place of worship along this strip of No. 5 Road. It has been serving as a central gathering place for its neighbouring places of worship. These efforts have evolved into the formation of the Highway to Heaven Association. Members of the association meet frequently to discuss issues of common interest. This year, the Highway to Heaven Association will be participating in the popular Salmonfest being held in Steveston on Canada Day. This will be a unique entry into this world famous festival. Balwant Sanghera Co-Coordinator Highway to Heaven Association

Stopping on a Highway to Save Ducklings

THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca

Cedric Hughes

Barrister & Solicitor

n the first week of June 2014, in Superior Court in Montreal, the criminal trial of a 25-year-old university student, Ms. C, commenced. Her case is one of tragic proportions, of an instinctive ‘caring’ response gone horribly wrong. The trial will determine whether charges of dangerous driving and criminal negligence causing death apply to the deaths of Andre Roy, 50 and his daughter, Jessie Roy, 16. The pair was riding tandem on a Harley Davidson motorcycle, followed by Pauline Volikakis, wife and mother respectively. The following recital of information involves extensive quotes from published news reports, primarily the Canadian Press: • On June 27, 2010, a clear summer evening, on Highway 30 in Candiac, Quebec, speed limit 100 km/h. Ms. C. allegedly braked suddenly to a stop in the left lane. Reportedly, she told police the night she was arrested, “I stopped my car because there were baby ducks on the road. I was worried that [the] babies would be killed.” • The Canadian Press reported the unfolding tragedy as told by another motorist: “Ms. Volikakis testified she saw a woman walking dangerously along the narrow shoulder on the side of the highway. She also saw a car at a standstill in the passing lane. “I wondered what she was doing there, it was not the place to be,” Ms. Volikakis said. She testified that Mr. Roy

gestured to the accused as if to warn her it was dangerous for her to be there. • Seconds later, his bike slammed into the stationary car, sending both of the occupants in the motorcycle flying. … Eyewitness Martine Tessier testified she was driving along the same stretch of highway on June 27, 2010… at about 110 km/h when she saw a woman along the side of the road seemingly trying to shoo along a family of ducks. “I shouted to my kids (in the car) “What is she doing there? She’s going to get killed.” …She testified that, moments later, she was staring down a car, completely stopped with no hazard lights on, with the door open on the driver’s side. “It was close enough that I knew I didn’t have time to brake”… Instead, she swerved to get around the car. Then she looked back in her rear-view mirror and saw something else hit the vehicle. “I saw a body go over the car, it was like a rag doll… I shouted to my daughter to call 911 with my cellphone.” • Ms. C. has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutor Annie-Claude Chasse reportedly asked the jury, “Would a reasonable and prudent person, in the same circumstances as was the accused, have done the same? Would that reasonable and prudent person have stopped their car, on a busy highway, in order to save some ducks?” • Antonios Volikakis, Ms. Volikakis’s father was quoted as saying, “[These deaths] have demolished our entire family. He said he hoped others might learn from the case. “If you see a cat or a duck on the road, you don’t stop and you might have to run it over.” At the time of writing, this trial is continuing. …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

Canadian, American and Australian seniors to be tested in new Alzheimer’s fight

Showing people the door

Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston are undertaking a massive research effort to determine whether a new experimental drug can protect the brains of seniors who are currently healthy but may have some signs of risk. Mr. Peter Bristol, of Rhode Island, was the first person to qualify for the research. His mother died of Alzheimer’s disease, and his brother is afflicted. His scan revealed a presence of some amyloid (the protein that can build up in a brain and cause Alzheimer’s). Scientists believe Alzheimer’s may exist a decade before memory problems appear, and the new drug, known as Solanezumab, may slow the progress of amyloid buildup. Volunteers will be given that drug, or a “placebo” (a dummy drug that actually will not have any effect) in the experiment. Volunteers from all three countries will be tested. Watch for various ads in the coming months as the recruitment effort proceeds. The experiment might have an added benefit of telling a person that he or she has some amyloid presence, which in itself is a significant incentive for people to create an Incapacity and/or Estate plan for themselves and their families.

Reduce Belly Fat! Increase Energy!

No dull moments in this gripping gumshoe fiction

Testosterone levels begin to diminish in men around age 30. In fact, by the time men are 60 years old, they typically produce 60% less testosterone than they did at age 20 (a man’s sexual peak). Many men over the age of 35 may already be feeling the effects of lower testosterone including:

Increased Belly Fat Low Energy

Low Libido Mood Changes

Decreased Muscle Strength Prostate Problems and more...

Unfortunately at the same time testosterone is decreasing, estrogen levels are increasing, causing further muscle loss and gain in body fat, making it extremely difﬁcult to maintain a healthy metabolism. Along with a program of proper nutrition and regular exercise, researchers have discovered a group of naturally proven nutrients that can help you safely reduce excess estrogen while maximizing testosterone levels.

Rate of Testosterone Secretion in Milligrams

Ultimate Male Energy™ contains 100% natural ingredients like: Chrysin, Stinging Nettle Root Extract, Indole-3-Carbinol and Broccoli Sprout Powder to help restore healthy, youthful hormone balance by positively affecting both estrogen and testosterone production, which ultimately helps a man look, feel and perform at his best.

ver since author Robert B. Parker passed away I’ve been in mourning. I mean who else writes such quick-witted, funny and gripping gumshoe fiction? Nobody. Until Ace Atkins. I must have been asleep at the wheel when Atkins arrived on the scene a couple years ago with his books Robert B. Parker’s Wonderland and Robert B. Parker’s Lullaby. But better late than never. Chosen by Parker’s estate to carry on the Spenser novels, Atkins’ writing is dead on. In his newest novel, Robert B. Parker’s Cheap Shot, Spenser is back in full swing, sleuthing his way hither and yon with his sidekicks Hawk and Z (Zebulon Sixkill). In this latest incarnation, Spenser has been hired by Kinjo Heywood, a star football player with the New England Patriots, to find out who’s following him and why. When things escalate and Kinjo’s eight-year-old son Akira is kidnapped, the story really takes off. Chasing bad guys, rearranging facial features, breaking limbs and finding corpses is what Spenser, Hawk and

Z do best. It’s their raison d’etre. And when the disappearance of a kid is involved, the stakes are even higher. Juggling known evils against unknown threats, Spencer and his gang of merry men do whatever it takes, and don’t stop until the job is done. Never mind how many laws or limbs they break. For those of you unfamiliar with self-employed, private detective Spenser, he describes himself as “middle-aged and thuggish.” Add to that description beer-quaffing, doughnut-eating and eloquent…when he wants to be. With an additional cast of characters including Kinjo’s sleazy agent Steven Rosen; his alcoholic second wife Cristal, a retired stripper, and her former boyfriend Kevin, a pornographer drug dealer; a bunch of thick-necked thugs and gangbangers; Spenser’s shrink girlfriend Susan, and others, there’s not a dull moment to be had. Atkins stays true to Parker’s signature style, with understated oneliners zinging off the walls right and left. Sarcasm drips from Spenser’s every sentence, and the funny, clipped dialogue keeps the story racing along. At one point Spenser asks his police buddy Lindquist: “You think someone might want to paint me in action?” to which Lindquist replies: “Sarcasm is hard to capture on canvas.” For other popular reading suggestions check out Richmond Public Library’s Web site at www. yourlibrary.ca/goodbooks/.

Our friends to the south don’t have access to such awesomeness. But on the flip side, it’s only available on the base model. Aside from the 6-speed manual, Subaru offers their version of a Continuously Variable Transmission, aka the Lineartronic CVT. While some might not be a fan of this type of transmission, don’t knock it until you try it. Subaru does an excellent job with the gear simulations and I didn’t feel the drone of the system under hard acceleration, even with the 4-cylinder. While I’d pick a manual any day, the CVT is darn good. So is the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, a standard feature on all Legacy trims.

Safety Tip: This early summer weather means more cyclists on the road, so as a driver shoulder checking is very important – especially when making right hand turns at intersections, before pulling away from a curb and before you open your vehicle door.

Nearly New: Ford Escape has full package The Ford Escape came with a new-look exterior, an interior makeover and improved safety features for the 2008 model year, all included a complete second-generation redesign. Although it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look too much different from its predecessor, the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;08 Escape has a wider stance and a slightly higher belt line than its predecessor and there are no carry-over body panels. A domed hood, bigger grille and new headlamps also give this Escape a slightly more aggressive look and it has better off-road attributes in terms of approach, breakover and departure angle capabilities. A base front-drive Escape XLS is powered by a 2.3-litre engine. Moving up a step, the XLT trim allowed a 3.0-litre V6 option and a tow package that bumped trailer-hauling capability to 1,588 kg (3500 lbs). The top-line Limited came with leather, dual climate control

air conditioning and Audiophile sound system, more power features, and the V6 engine. Four-wheel-drive was an option with every trim level. If an urban commute is your vehicles primary job and good fuel economy is important thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a hybrid version of the Escape. It has a smoother and quieter powertrain than the first generation Escape Hybrid, introduced in 2003, and its city-driven fuel economy rating is an ultra-frugal 5.7 L/100 km. It was also available in both front-drive and four-wheeldrive. While stability control was standard on all gasengine versions of the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;08 Escape, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available on the Hybrid. Same story for a related new safety feature on the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;08, called Roll Stability Control (RSC). Particularly useful on taller vehicles, the RSC system automatically responds when a potential rollover is detected, by selectively applying brakes and/or de-

more refined drivetrain. The Escape Hybrid is a full hybrid and capable of running purely on electric power up to about 40 km/ hour. It also uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The 2010 model year brought trim upgrades to Escape and all models got standard Blind Spot Mirrors. The Escape was essentially unchanged for 2011 and 2012, other than some new exterior colours and option packages. The 2012 model was the final year of this generation Ford Escape.

A smart and electrifying choice Cars have been designed as a singular safety cage, called the Tridion Safety Cell. Other cars have exterior panels that absorb impacts the Smart’s exterior metal bits are the strongest part of the car. In crash tests, these tiny cars fare well. The Smart Electric, just like the gasoline version, is available as a coupe or cabriolet. Spotting a Smart Electric is a bit tricky; this is not like buying a Toyota Prius or Chevy Volt. No, this little dynamo blends right in. It is only a small decal on the side with the

Well, after driving the latest Smart ForTwo Electric Drive (Smart Electric) my mood has changed to the point that this might be the best little electric car for the city, it’s that good. Looks The Smart Electric looks like the regular Smart, with a compact little body that provides and amazing amount of interior space and a lot of crash protection on the outside.

by Zach Spencer Which cars on the market today don’t I like? It’s a question I’m often asked and one I struggle to answer. Today’s automobiles are made so well, there are no real turkeys. But, and there is always a “but,” there are certainly cars I like more than others and some I prefer not to drive. The regular Smart ForTwo is one of them. The small dimensions are perfect as a city runabout but the lethargic gasoline engine

emblem of a plug or the subtle badge on that back that gives anything away. Inside My nine-year-old son Charlie really wanted to go for a ride not because it’s electric but because he had never been in a Smart Car before and wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Since there are only two seats, he could place his seat back as far as he liked and had vast amounts of leg room. He also commented on the large cargo shelf behind the two front seats for storage.

The rest of the cabin is refreshingly simple. There are two bug-like gauges on top of the dash that indicate the batteries state of charge and if the car is drawing power or regenerating power when coasting or braking. The instrument cluster provides a simple trip computer displaying the vehicle’s electric range and an “eco” meter that helps the driver be more efficient. Drive Under the cargo shelf in the back is the LithiumIon battery pack that has 17.6kWh or roughly, a 135km range when fully charged. This little car can be quick too, thanks to the 96 ft.-lbs. of instant torque from the electric motor. This moves the car along quickly, but the throttle has been calibrated for smooth acceleration, helping the driver gain the best efficiency. I should point out that the high centre of gravity, short wheelbase and slightly choppy ride all combine to make a less than connected car in the corners, so be aware that this car can accelerate quickly but it will not corner quickly. What the electric version has over the regular gasoline model is a much smoother delivery

of power. No more anemic gasoline engine and gone is the choppy transmission. The electric motor is smooth and refined. Verdict Once again, the Smart is a perfect of example of how to get the most out of a small space. The electric cord that connects the car to a 120-volt outlet is packaged into the tailgate of the car; in fact this is the best electric car packaging I’ve seen. Most companies just leave a bag in the trunk, while this system hides it all away. With a starting price of $26,990 for the coupe or $29,990, the Smart Electric is an expensive two-seat car but a bargain the electric world, the least expensive in Canada. The regular gasoline Smart is really an inner-city runabout, which is why the electric version makes so much sense. With up to 138km of range, this Smart Electric will have more than enough range for existing Smart buyers and a great second car for any city family. The Smart electric is now on my list of cars that I truly enjoy driving, the best Smart of the bunch. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

noon. A related event takes place weeks later at the No. 2 Road Pier in Richmond. On July 5 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Fish for the Future takes place, an event that promotes sport fishing with a variety of activities. From less than half a dozen events when the event was launched in 2000, Family Fishing Weekend has grown to include nearly 50 events across the province. Most of the success can be attributed to the very dedicated volunteer anglers and fishing clubs that host events each year as well as a growing interest in the sport of fishing. The 15th annual Family Fishing Weekend is made possible by financial support from the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC and the Province of British Columbia. Material and volunteer donations are made by numerous like-minded organizations and businesses, and by all the communities that host events.

Dad never wanted a fuss

Fresh Local

by Bob Niles Contributor

ather’s Day has to be the easiest celebration of the year to plan for. A celebration, that if left up to dad, would not have to go ahead at all. Cause really all dads want is just to be left alone.

Metro Creative photo Dad’s favourite game was “Hide-n-go.” He never came looking for us.

I guess we missed the subtle clues through the year that Dad had wanted just to be left alone on his special day. Like when we played tag and he drove. Our first tubby toy was a plug-in radio. And Dad’s favourite game with us was “Hide-n-go.” No, it was just Hide-n-go. He never came looking for us. Little things he’d say like, “I made three just like you. I can take you out and make another and no one would miss you. Your

Mother’s the only one stopping me.” What a kidder. It’s not that he didn’t do things with us, he just had his own style of doing things. Like when it snowed he’d take us out bumper hitching. To you who might not know its grabbing hold of the rear bumper of dad’s car while squatting on your feet and he pulls you along behind in the family Pontiac on the snowy road. See Page 20

Father’s Day was brought about to complement Mother’s Day as Wikipedia would have us believe. And it wasn’t a guy who brought it about, but a woman. A daughter that wanted to honour her dad. I mean what’s he going to say after she had gone to all this work? “No thanks honey. If you really want to do something special just leave me alone.” (The guy had raised six kids by himself! Of course he wants to be alone.) My Dad never wanted a fuss, heck he didn’t want kids! Us boys— he had four—would ask dear old Dad what he would like from us for Father’s Day and each year he would respond, “Get adopted by another family!” Ah what a kidder. His idea of a perfect Father’s Day would be after watching an afternoon of golf he’d get off the couch to find a perfect outline of himself in potato chips. A day that I myself would like to achieve. But every year we would try to do something special for him because that’s what moms like. So why not dads? Moms like to get dressed up and stand in line with a lot of other dressed up moms and wait for their name to be called in a restaurant on their special day. Why wouldn’t dad like something special like that?

Father’s Day not found in days paid for and expected From Page 19 Big in the ‘60s, but now nosey neighbours would probably phone the cops on such a parent. And especially my Dad, cause he made us hold the front bumper! “Keep your arms real stiff!” he’d yell. What a kidder. We were never a huggy-feely family that shared a lot of emotions to let old Dad know we loved him. I remember once hugging my Dad, which greatly surprised him. Had I waited till he was out of the shower...? My Dad was a kidder, he loved to laugh. That was one of the things I really enjoyed growing up was his laughter. A house is so much better with laughter. My happiest childhood memories revolve around my Dad when he was happy. And he wasn’t happy that much. It’s not like he raised us in fear of punishment, but he carried the world on his shoulders and did more worrying than one human should possibly do. So laughter was a welcome change. If there was ever a time that I had the chance to show my Dad how much I appreciated him it wasn’t on a Father’s Day, but was when he and I drove up to Fort St. John in northern British Columbia together. I was doing a plumbing job there and he came along for a two-day drive and then I flew him back home. The scenery and one-on-one time spent together for the two days was a time he more than once thanked me for, and I was lucky he gave me the chance to do it before he passed away. I’ve been blessed with several days in my life that I would describe as a day that I’m so proud to be a father to each one of my kids. It hasn’t been with cards, gifts or dinners bought. But something that each one of them has done within their own lives, that made me proud and made me

think this dad thing is all worthwhile. It’s all right. I wasn’t the best son a dad could have, and I deserved the threat of being taken out and another one made just like me. Thank you Mom! And my kids at times came close to that same threat. But they, like me, came around before it was too late. So this Father’s Day, phone dad, buy him a dinner, play a round of golf, take him fishing or just tell him you understand and leave him alone. That’s what my kids do for me. For Father’s Day is not found in days paid for and expected, but in days that they, the kids, have worked for and made sacrifices within themselves to achieve their desired goal.

I’ve been blessed with several days in my life that I would describe as a day that I’m so proud to be a father to each one of my kids. It hasn’t been with cards, gifts or dinners bought. But something that each one of them has done within their own lives, that made me proud and made me think this dad thing is all worthwhile.

And then, hopefully once from each child during your lifetime they make you so proud that you get the chance to stick out your chest and say, “THAT’S MY KID! Do you know what they just did?” All the work, prayers, hopes and dreams a dad puts into a kid suddenly sprouts. That’s Father’s Day.

Steveston has some fun with World Cup theme The World Cup continues until Sunday, July 13, when the Army Navy Air Force Unit 284 will be hosting a celebration by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter For the next month, Steveston Village will have a little extra kick in its step. The fishing village—behind the efforts of Davood Khatami, owner of Bean and Beyond coffee shop, and Alan Clark, vice president of the Steveston Community Society—will be flying the international colours of the 32 soccer teams currently vying for the World Cup in Brazil. More than two dozen retailers have adopted a country, and have decorated their stores in that country’s national colours.

Visitors will be invited purchase a passport—which costs $5 at select merchants including Bean and Beyond, and comes with a free White Spot Pirate Pack meal—and visit each retailer on their national day to collect a sticker. On each passport, which are limited to 500, there’s an entry form that can be dropped off at the Steveston Community Centre for a chance to win one of three prizes from area merchants. It’s no surprise that Jim van der Tas, owner of Blue Canoe Waterfront Restaurant, wanted to snag Holland, considering his Dutch heritage. A perennial soccer powerhouse, the

Netherlands has made 10 appearances at the World Cup, on three occasions making the final, including in 2010 when it lost to Spain. Khatami’s coffee shop will be hosting Iran Day today (Friday). This weekend will feature England Day at Steveston Barbers, and Portugal Day on Sunday at Hog Shack. The World Cup continues until Sunday, July 13, when the Army Navy Air Force Unit 284 will be hosting a special celebration during the championship final. Also on that weekend, Steveston Park will become the centre of fun, with a number of special activities and promotions planned.

The Steveston Folk Guild welcomes Deborah Holland to the stage at Britannia Shipyards Thursday, June 19. Holland has a long history in writing and performing music—and was the lead singer and songwriter of the band Animal Logic. In 1988 Holland was “plucked from obscurity,” according to her website, to front Animal Logic, a new band formed by ex-Police drummer Stew-

art Copeland and legendary jazz bassist Stanley Clarke. Two weeks after auditioning, Holland found herself singing to growing crowds in Brazil. The group recorded two albums before disbanding. Its limited performances included a gig on the David Letterman talk show. But the Berlin Wall came down that same night, delaying the show, and according to Holland, “hardly anyone saw it.” They also had a gig on Johnny Carson’s show, which was also delayed because of basketball star Magic Johnson’s announcement he had HIV. Since then, Holland has released five solo albums, including Vancouver last year—having moved here from Los Angeles in 2010. The album includes the song “I Wanna Be a Canadian,” which speaks of the differences between Canada and the U.S., with lyrics touching on public health care, the relative obscurity of Canadian music and giving up California sun. She’s also recorded two albums with her folk trio the Refugees.

Aquariums made easy Some pet owners make the mistake of overstocking their tanks, leading to a minefield of maintenance

ish are often the pet of choice when people desire a pet that requires minimal care.

And although home aquariums may not require substantial maintenance, if left ignored, they can quickly transform into a murky, algae-infested mess. As important as aquarium maintenance is, some additional factors can also influence the beauty of a home aquarium. Larger tanks may be better than compact tanks, as they’re generally more stable in terms of water balance. People mistakenly overcrowd their tanks with fish, and a small tank can easily be overrun by bacteria and fish waste. Shade is also key. It’s tempting to put a fish tank where it can be seen by everyone. But if this spot gets a lot of sunlight or even ambient light from overhead fixtures, it may fall victim to excessive algae growth. Algae, like most plants, needs light and a food source to thrive. The fish will provide the food material, but owners can control the light to limit algae blooms. Once algae

is present in large amounts, it can easily overrun the tank. Invest in a few algae-eater fish, such as plecos and some catfish. One mistake that can lead to a high-maintenance tank is overstocking. It can be tempting to buy more and more fish for a home aquarium. But putting too many fish in a tank can throw the water balance off considerably and lead to a high amount

of waste in the water. Fish that are an inch in size need roughly one gallon of water each. Fewer fish are easy to care for and won’t cloud up the water quickly. Filters can help. Be sure the filter is large enough to accommodate the volume of water in the tank. It’s better to have a filter that’s too large for the tank than one that is too small. Weekly partial water changes are recommended. Siphon 10 to 20 per cent of the water each week for optimal health. Try to vacuum around the gravel to remove trapped food particles and waste. Committing to this small bit of maintenance can go a long way toward creating a healthy tank that will not require more maintenance. Choosing the right fish is also key. Goldfish are often purchased because they tend to be inexpensive, but goldfish metabolize food quickly and produce a lot of waste. They can also grow quite large, requiring an upgrade to a larger tank much more quickly than some other fish. Guppies make good starter fish—they’re tolerant of harsh conditions and are quite hardy.

Birgitte Biorn gives workshop at country’s spinal cord rehab centre by Lynn Telias Youth Reporter Imagine you fell off a cliff or got hit by a car and broke your spine, thus leaving your legs paralyzed. Being confined to a wheelchair and not being able to go up the stairs is a major setback for everyday life. It can be worse in other parts of the world. Last November, Birgitte Biorn, principal of Walter Lee elementary school, went on a trip to Nepal, sandwiched between China and India. Although the trip did have some recreational elements, the goal of the journey was to lead a workshop on teaching practices at Nepal’s only spinal cord rehabilitation centre, which is sponsored by SpiNepal, a charity organization within UBC’s Department of Orthopedics. The reason why the rehabilitation centre is so

important is because of the conditions in which most of the people work. Nepal has a population of about 27 million people, with about 76 per cent of the populace living in rural areas, most of them working day and night on a farm to support their families. This kind of work is very hard to do from a wheelchair. In her blog, Biorn wrote: “There is no running to Safeway when you need milk, or popping into the clinic when you have the sniffles. While I can appreciate the proximity of health care if something goes seriously wrong, say you fall from a tree and can’t move, I do think we can learn to do more with less and to rely on our own ingenuity and intuition. ” Thanks to the efforts of many volunteers, the lives of many people with spinal cord injuries have been changed.

Christina Ollson, 36, Burnaby, BC It’s exactly one year since we began using Bell Calming Chronix Stress #66 for our two sons. Our local health food store recommended it. Both of our sons suffer from anxiety disorders. Our older son (14) was going through puberty and had become quite unmanageable, because he is much larger than I am. We are delighted with the immediate results. Our older son became his former sweet self and our younger son’s (12) anxiety is dramatically reduced. Thank you so much.

File photo Richmond volleyball players stand to benefit enormously if a bid to bring the Canadian women’s volleyball program to the Richmond Olympic Oval is realized.

The possibility of Canada’s national women’s volleyball team setting up shop in Richmond has local officials excited. “Having kids closer to women who are passionate about the sport, and hopefully having the opportunity to see them training, would be super exciting,” longtime Richmond player and coach Stephanie Martens told The Richmond Review Thursday. Volleyball BC’s Women’s National Team Training Centre Bid Committee announced this week that the Richmond Olympic Oval would be the centrepiece of a bid to bring the Canadian Women’s National Volleyball Team to B.C. in 2017. The Women’s National Volleyball Team Training Centre is currently located in Winnipeg. Volleyball Canada’s official request for submissions to host the national team is anticipated to be distributed this month, with host city selection determined

in September, 2015. Martens, who coached high school volleyball at R.A. McMath Wildcats last year and this year was head coach of the 16U girls’ Air Attack program, grew up playing the game. Her dad, Eric Ens, was instrumental in establishing the community-based Air Attack program in the early 1990s. “I think having a program like this at the oval would be optimum in giving the young players something to strive toward,” she said. “Having the program in Manitoba for so many years now, you see there’s many Manitoba players succeeding as members of the national team. I hope if it came to Richmond the same situation would occur with our players.” Martens said Air Attack has been fortunate to be able to work with many strength and conditioning coaches at the oval’s Volleyball Centre of Excellence which opened in September 2010. “We’ve absolutely seen an increase in their skills and abilities and for their love of the game,” she said. Since the centre opened, more than 50 participating athletes have gone on to play for their province, post-secondary school, or the junior national team. “We believe that Richmond is the optimal home, offering excellent holistic athlete development in a world-class training facility, that is situated in a city that can also serve the needs of the athletes off the court,” said Chris Densmore, executive director, Volleyball BC. “We are committed as an organization to foster the development of Volleyball in B.C. Exposure to the sport at its highest level for British Columbians will significantly contribute to that mission.” Members of the public and B.C.’s volleyball community can get involved in the bid by going to www. bringtheteam.ca. Here, visitors are encouraged to use Facebook and Twitter to help spread the word and grow momentum for B.C. to become the home of the women’s national team. The BC Bid Committee consists of Volleyball BC, the Richmond Olympic Oval, and the Pacific Volleyball Society.

Thomas earns silver Swimmer steps up at international meet in France by Don Fennell Sports Editor There’s no doubting the determination and talent of Noemie Thomas. That was evident again Wednesday at the second stop on the Mare Nostrum swimming circuit in Canet-En-Rousillon, France where the five-foot-four dynamo from Richmond won the silver medal in the women’s 100-metre butterfly. The 18-year-old world championship finalist clocked 58.99 seconds. Jeannette Ottesen of Denmark was the winner in 56.96 and Amit Ivry of Israel third in 59.53. The Richmond Review Sportsperson of the Year, Thomas suffered an ankle injury earlier this year, leaving her short in her bid to make the Commonwealth Games and Pan Pacific Championships teams this summer. ‘’I just wanted to go back to using my normal strategy for the races here,’’ said Thomas.

‘’Ottesen was really fast today but I was pleased that I stuck to what I needed to do and kept the focus on my own race. My first 50 was particularly strong. I usually struggle with it when I’m in the midst of some heavy training as we are right now.’’

Optimism high in Richmond Chuckers’ Peewee dugouts From Page 29

In separate pools in the Tier 1 playoff round-robin,

the Blue team is currently 3-0 and the Gold 2-2; both are hoping for a Richmond

versus Richmond championship game in mid-June. “We are very excited

about the way the boys on both teams are playing,” said Lunny.

“We were able to evenly balance the two teams and both are having a lot of success.” Chuckers Gold recently edged the always-strong Cloverdale Red 3-2 at Brighouse Park, and Chuckers

Blue defeated the top regular-season team, Burnaby, in an equally close 6-5 game last Saturday. “Win or lose, these are fantastic baseball games to watch,” noted Lunny. “It’s very promising for our

summer season and for the coming years at the higher levels that we have so many talented, hardworking ball players coming up in the Richmond City Baseball Association system.”

Don Fennell photo Sliding safely into third base during a game against Burnaby last weekend at Brighouse Park, Richmond Chucker Josh Wolowicz is one of many Peewee Division players enjoying strong seasons in the B.C. Minor Baseball 13 U AA League.

Real homes for real people with MOSAIC’s York By Kerry Vital

Langley’s Willoughby neighbourhood has been growing over the past year, and offering a wide range of homes for local buyers. However, MOSAIC Homes is bringing something a bit different to the market with York, which is giving first-time buyers a chance to dip their toe into the home-owning waters with an accessible price point that doesn’t sacrifice any of the quality that MOSAIC is known for.

“It’s very rewarding to see someone buy their first home,” says MOSAIC’S Geoff Duyker. “People are taking their first step onto the market.” MOSAIC has introduced a new floorplan at York, called the Grouse plan and featuring two bedrooms and just over 1,000 square feet. “These are the most affordable homes compared to other townhomes on the market,” says Duyker. There are several other two-bedroom plans, as well as three-

bedroom plans. “There are a lot of options in this area for people buying a townhome,” says Duyker. “It’s exciting for us to be the one that people are choosing.” As evidence of this, MOSAIC opened York for sale last weekend, and already more than half of the first release of homes have been sold. In fact, Duyker notes that there were people sleeping outside the Home Store overnight the night before in order to be first in line to see the three model homes. “There is beautiful street appeal,” says Duyker. “We here at MOSAIC love design and love architecture.” That’s also proven inside, with oversized bay windows, curved archways in most homes and nine-foot ceilings on the main living level. “We call it ‘Country Modern’,” says Duyker. “It’s a more heritage-style form that’s been made contemporary. It just feels different than any other home on the market.” Homes at York start at $259,900. For more information, www.mosaichomes.com/york, stop by the Home Store on 207A off 84th in Langley, or call 604-882-6758.

Ledingham McAllister’s Waterscapes includes high-rise tower Skye at Waterscapes and The Herons at Waterscapes, a collection of four-storey low-rise buildings. Luxury is evident everywhere in the development, including the kitchen, top right, living area, bottom right, and The Cascade Club, right.

Resort-style living at Waterscapes By Kerry Vital

Ledingham McAllister brings luxury to Kelowna’s waterfront with Waterscapes, a master-planned community inspired by the sparkling lake and relaxing atmosphere. “It feels like a resort community,” says Manuela Mirecki, senior vice-president of marketing and design for Ledingham McAllister. “The response has been really, really good.” Waterscapes offers a range of home styles,

including high-rise residences at Skye and townhomes and low-rise homes at The Herons. Among the features in the homes are wood-grain shaker cabinetry in the kitchens and soaker tubs in the ensuite bathrooms. Homeowners at Waterscapes have exclusive access to The Cascade Club, which holds a fully equipped fitness centre, billiards lounge, guest suites, library and outdoor kitchen, among many other amenities. “The Cascade Club is literally your own private country club,” says Mirecki. “It’s been in constant use since it opened.” If you venture off the property, Waterscapes is just a short walk away from shopping dining and nightlife in Kelowna. “Living at Waterscapes offers you the whole life experience,” says Mirecki. “There is nothing like this anywhere else.” On June 21 and 22 between 12 and 6 p.m.,

Ledingham McAllister is hosting a blowout sales event for the remaining homes at Waterscapes, and will offer spectacular deals. “For the penthouse (at Skye), we will be reducing the price by up to $150,000, and two-bedroom-and-den homes by up to $60,000,” says Mirecki. In The Herons, Ledingham McAllister will be offering discounts of up to $80,000 on the townhomes and up to $45,000 on the two-bedroom-andden homes. “Ledingham McAllister has been in business for 109 years,” Mirecki says. “There’s no one else in Western Canada who can offer that level of experience.” For more information, visit www.ledmac. com/waterscapes, call 1-250-763-8313 or stop by the sales centre at Sky Tower, PH3, 1075 Sunset Drive, Kelowna, open daily (except Fridays) between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.

IN MEMORIAM GIFTS

OBITUARIES

DAMJI, Nurali Gulamhussien Jinnah passed away peacefully with his family by his side on the morning of June 8, 2014. He will be missed by his loving wife Parin, his only daughter Mubina, son in law Naizer and his two beloved grandchildren that he adored Ziyaana and Elyssa. He is also survived by his siblings Nurkhanu, Sadrudin,

Nizarali and Zarina. He was born in Dar-Es-Salaam Tanzania and immigrated to Canada in 1972. He lived a long and fulfilling life and will be missed by all that knew him. He was a strict man, but very honourable and had an incredible sense of humor. We would like to say a special thank you to all the doctors, nurses and staff at Richmond General that did so much for him. He called it “his all inclusive resort” that he went to almost annually in his last years. Funeral ceremonies have taken place in the Shia Ismaili MuslimTradition.

HARTLEY, Doris Barbara (nee Lenheiser)

May 22, 1928 - June 3, 2014 Doris passed away peacefully on June 3, 2014 at Delta View Life Enrichment Centre, Delta BC. She was preceded by her husband Bill Hartley, mother and father Joan and Herbert, brother Lorne, and sisters Jean and Lois. She is survived by her sister Helen, children Bill (Della), Leslye Szymczak (Peter), Janice Gibson (Brad) and Heather Jones (Michael), grandchildren Aimee, Fraser, Morgan, Becky, Kate, Matt, Joe, Dan, Stuart and Brian and great-grandsons Baron, Sam and Will. Doris was born in Kindersley, Saskatchewan and moved to Vancouver with her family in the early 1930’s. She attended King Edward High School, but left to begin employment at Jantzen of Canada in 1945 until 1986. During those years, Doris met Bill Hartley at Bowen Island and married in 1950, making Vancouver their home until 1957 when they moved to Richmond. They enjoyed life around family, friends and their dream backyard and pool. The happy couple ventured beyond Richmond, on a few tropical holidays before Bill was taken so suddenly. After retirement, Doris went back to school and upgraded her education at Douglas College and began volunteering at Richmond General Hospital and then at Fraserview Care Home where her mother lived her final years. Doris continued to enjoy life with a passion for walks in Steveston, knitting and quilting, gardening, her special times with her children and grandchildren, decorating the family home during festive holidays and occasions. Rest peacefully, Mom/Gramma. We will love you forever. Thank you to the Delta View and Gilmore Gardens staffs for their care and kindness over the past five years. In lieu of flowers a gift to the charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family. A celebration of Doris’ life will be held at a later date.

Canadian Sport Institute aligns with oval Increased presence of high performance athletes will be a source of inspiration for other young athletes by Don Fennell Sports Editor In the months leading up to the 2010 Winter Games, the Richmond Olympic Oval was abuzz. And Canadian speed skaters helped to provide much of the excitement. With the oval home to long track speed skating during the Games, many members of the national team set up shop locally. It wasn't uncommon for oval members to find themselves riding a stationary bike alongside the likes of Christine Nesbitt or Cindy Klassen. Now with the Canadian Sport Institute Pacific about to begin a strategic alliance with the oval, it is hoped a new generation of sports heroes will be spawned here. "Here, a young person can find a path that might lead to a healthy, active lifestyle, a lifelong love affair with sport or the Olympic or Paralympic podium," said John Mills, the oval's chief operating officer. "We are passionate about all these outcomes." Oval program manager Aran Kay expects the presence of more high performance athletes will be a source of inspiration for other young athletes. "If you think of any accomplished athlete all have at least one story of meeting their hero when they were young," said Kay. “The chances of that happening to HOME/BUSINESS SERVICES 356

more people certainly increases with this. To say they met so-and-so when they were seven at the oval, I think will inspire more youth for sure." Starting July 2, Canadian Sport Institute Pacific, working in conjunction with the oval's high performance department, will use the facilities at the oval to provide a world-class, multisport daily training environment for athletes and coaches. "The biggest thing is that it will all be provided under one roof—everything from strength and conditioning, performance nutrition to performance analysis, physiological testing and health services (in conjunction with LifeMark Sport Medical)," said Kay. "I can't think of many places where you can do that and it's a pretty big advantage for locals. I think one day there's going to be a person who started here standing on a Olympic podium." In a press release, Canadian Sport Institute Pacific chief executive officer Wendy Pattenden said there is something unique in the air at the oval. "We hope that the legacy of the Olympic gold medals that were won in the facility will serve as inspiration to the athletes and coaches training in the daily training environment," she said. "Having the high performance training facility and the performance services all under one roof will allow for the optimal training environment," said PETS

The Richmond Chinese Community Society staged its Karaoke Fundraising Dinner and Dance Party at Continental Seafood Restaurant June 8. The event drew Mayor Malcolm Brodie, school trustees Debbie Tablotney, Eric Yung, Kenny Chiu and Grace Tsang. The society is a non-profit organization that helps new immigrants participate in local community activities and encourage them to get involved in Canadian society.

The City of Richmond has won two more awards for the Alexandra Energy District Utility. TOP PHOTO: Peter Russell, Richmond’s manager of sustainability and district energy, presents the Canadian GeoExchange Coalition’s 2014 Excellence Award to Mayor Malcolm Brodie.
