Council tables demands for new bridge

48 PAGES

Moo and a-woo

Mayor says province’s tunnel replacement project is ‘first and foremost a shipping project’ by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Agriculture, architecture and the need for rapid transit are among city council’s concerns with a provincial project to replace the George Massey Tunnel. Civic politicians decided Monday to urge Ministry of Transportation officials to consider a made-in-Richmond list of objectives for a planned bridge. The new South Arm span has yet to be designed, but could be a 10-lane cable-stayed structure modelled after the Alex Fraser Bridge. Key among council’s concerns is the potential impact to farmland. The bridge option being pursued is said to have the least impact on farmland on both sides of the river, but the full extent of land requirements is not yet known. Council’s wish is a “net zero” loss—or even a gain—of farmland. Council is also pushing for the inclusion of rapid transit on a bridge it says should be “iconic.” “If they are going to give us a bridge, I think it’s important that we ask them that it be an iconic bridge, frankly,” said Coun. Evelina Halsey-Brandt. “Architecturally it can be designed so that it is a visual gateway into Richmond.” Construction on the new bridge is scheduled to begin in 2017. Each direction of the 10-lane bridge could include three general purpose lanes, a transit/HOV lane and a lane for trucks or future rapid transit. There’s been no decision on tolls, but they’re likely, staff say. Richmond council’s list of objectives also urges the province to reduce congestion, not simply move it elsewhere, and ultimately get more people out of their cars. Last year just 27 per cent of the region’s trips were completed by a method other than a private vehicle, according to a staff report. TransLink has a goal to increase that to over 50 per cent. For local politicians, achieving that means the bridge should give priority to transit and high-occupancy vehicles, while also offering improvements for cyclists and pedestrians. See Page 4

Salaries reach new heights at city hall Expenses continue to level off by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond City Hall’s payroll has grown by $15 million in five years, while expenses continue to fall from Olympic heights, according to financial statements released this week. Salaries for 1,980 city employees totalled $108.2 million last year, and expenses rang in at $516,823.

In five years, 134 more workers have been added to the payroll, which has grown 16.25 per cent. Annual expenses, however, have dropped by more than half. The city’s top earner is chief administrative officer George Duncan, who made $291,250 last year. Department heads also scored high on the pay scale, as five of six general managers topped the $200,000 mark. Richmond’s annual statement of financial information—required under B.C. law—details all wage earners over $75,000. In 2013, 593 employees reached that salary mark, up from 478 the year before.

Artist hopes work will aid wounded soldiers Canadian Heroes poem Soaring warriors watching the sky Marching footsteps on the ground Grey metal cutting through the waves We know our lives are safe and sound

Former Richmond resident designed greeting card to raise money for Wounded Warriors Canada by Evan Seal Black Press

Evan Seal photo Graham Force’s card features a Canadian fighter jet flying over a large Canadian flag.

ince he was a child, Graham Force has been fascinated by planes.

Growing up in Abbotsford near the airport, Force often found himself sketching the various aircraft that he saw in and around the airfield, often captivated by the sounds and power of the military jets he saw during trips to the annual air show—especially the Blue Angels and the Snowbirds. It was after reading an article recently about the many wounded and disabled soldiers who have come home from various conflicts around the globe, including Afghanistan, that Force decided to try to offer his talent as an artist to give back. “There are roughly 1,800 soldiers who are dealing with some sort of conflict-related injury or mental health issue,” said Force, a former Richmond resident who now lives in Surrey. “So why not use my talents to help them out?” He has created a greeting card that will be offered for sale with proceeds going to Wounded Warriors Canada, an organization dedicated to helping

injured Canadian military personnel and their families. The card features a Canadian fighter jet flying over a large Canadian flag with the phrase “True North Strong and Free” across the top and “Canadian Heroes” along the bottom, along with a poem written by Michelle Jane Sales, recognizing the Army, Navy and Air Force. “We live in such a beautiful country with so many freedoms,” Force said, “and it’s so free because of the soldiers. People tend to forget that.” The initial printing will be 1,000 cards and depending on the success, he may make larger prints as well. The $6 cards are available through his website, grahamforceaviationart.com, or donations can be made directly at woundedwarriors.ca. Force will also be selling them at the Boundary Bay Air Show July 19.

Transit plan doesn’t add up on funding, says minister Todd Stone says too much sought from Ottawa, Victoria by Jeff Nagel Black Press Transportation Minister Todd Stone said he’s prepared to authorize a referendum next year on creating a new regional carbon tax for TransLink – provided Metro Vancouver mayors confirm by July 15 they want to hold one. Stone gave a formal response to the mayors’ call for new TransLink funding sources Tuesday, reiterating the province’s refusal to reallocate any existing carbon tax revenue. But he also said the mayors’ ambitious transit expansion plan asks for too much, too quickly, in terms of federal and provincial government contributions. He said the plan’s expectation of $1.5 billion over 10 years from Ottawa is $500 million more than the federal government’s entire Building Canada program allocation for B.C. and Stone indicated it may be too much to expect a similar amount from the province as well. “The funding assumptions don’t add up and call into question whether or not the plan is realistic,” Stone said. He said that could be resolved by extending the investment time frame from 10 years to 20 years to spread out the demand on senior governments. Otherwise, he said, the mayors might have to contemplate

either shelving some priorities or else raising more money within the region. The mayors’ plan aims to invest $7.5 billion into new rapid transit lines in Surrey and Vancouver, a major bus system expansion, a replacement of the Pattullo Bridge and other projects. Their preferred funding method was a reallocation of carbon tax on the short term – or a new carbon tax if the province refused reallocation – followed by a shift to yet-to-be-defined system of mobility pricing in several years time. As for the government’s appetite to introduce mobility pricing – which could involve per kilometre road tolls – Stone reiterated the province is prepared to discuss that. But he noted it would be challenging to embark on major new transit system upgrades until there’s certainty on how a mobility pricing system would work. Stone also rejected the mayors’ request for a 50 per cent provincial contribution on on new capital and operations costs for HandyDart, noting that has always been TransLink’s sole responsibility in the past. “Substantially, this would appear to be a good plan,” Stone said, adding “a bit more work” is needed to determine how it will be financed. If the mayors agree to hold the referendum sometime next spring – and not during this November’s municipal elections – Stone said the wording of the question would not have to be decided until this fall. The province would also have to determine how to implement a new regional carbon tax and assess all the costs and economic impacts from a higher tax on vehicle fuels, home heating and industry.

Although the mayors have consistently opposed further increases in property tax over and above the extra three per cent lift TransLink is automatically permitted each year, Stone once again pointed them back to that option. “As property taxes are not a new source of funding, any increases would not be subject to referendum,” Stone’s letter to the Mayors’ Council states. “I encourage the Mayors’ Council to give further consideration to this opportunity.” The Mayors’ Council meets again Thursday to consider its next steps.

From Page 1 Coun. Harold Steves said Monday the bridge will come at a cost to farmland, and create more traffic congestion and greenhouse gasses. Since removing the tunnel would open the river to larger vessels capable of transporting jet fuel and coal, Steves suggested the new structure be called “the bridge to climate change.” Mayor Malcolm Brodie said the project will face significant challenges in funding and easing congestion at the Oak Street Bridge, and called it “first and foremost a shipping project.” “This is a way to clear that channel for the biggest ships in the world to come up the South Arm of the Fraser River. Not just to Richmond, but to Fraser Surrey Docks, to New Westminster,” he said. “I think we’re going to see great changes in that entire area, but they can’t do those changes as long as that tunnel is there.” Richmond resident Michael Wolfe told council it was “admitting defeat” in its battle against the jet fuel pipeline—a project that recently cleared an environmental assessment hurdle. “If you are approving this then how can you think that you are against the jet fuel pipeline? By not stopping this at this current report, you are going ahead with this. You have basically given up on protecting the city from the jet fuel pipeline.” Premier Christy Clark announced in September 2012 the province would begin a process to replace the tunnel. The core project involves a new bridge, interchanges at both ends and the removal of the tunnel due to the ongoing maintenance costs that would be required. Also being considered is an expansion of Highway 99 from Bridgeport Road to the Canada-U.S. border. Coun. Ken Johnston said traffic improvements are needed to the “nightly tunnel horror show,” and it’s important for council to state its position. “The status quo just doesn’t work for me, and what I’m hearing from the residents of Richmond and certainly the people in East Richmond, the status quo is not acceptable.”

Not all are happy with new happy hour rules

by Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government has begun allowing “happy hour” discounts for alcoholic drinks, imposing minimum drink prices that force some outlets to raise their prices. Effective last Friday, the minimum price for draft beer or cider in B.C. is 25 cents per fluid ounce, which puts a 12-ounce sleeve at $3, a 20-ounce pint at $5 and a 60-ounce jug at $15. Using a one-ounce minimum, the lowest permitted price for any alcoholic drink is $3. The release of the regulations Friday was greeted with protests from some pubs that were offering drink specials below that price. The regulations also give licensed restaurants the ability to serve drinks without a food order, although their licence still requires them to offer a full food menu. The B.C. government’s liquor policy review also levels the field between pubs and restaurants by allowing families with children into pubs at mealtimes. The B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association issued a statement reminding its members that the new rules also allow customers to carry a drink from a lounge to an adjoining restaurant. Licensees are also allowed to transfer small amounts of stock from one to the other if they run out of a particular product. In a policy directive to industry associations, local governments and police agencies, the government’s Liquor Control and Licensing Branch says the lower price may be applied selectively for “ladies night”

Summer is a fantastic time of year for students. Sleeping in, extended bedtimes, no homework - it’s a break from the regular routine. There’s that old saying: No more school, no more books... well, you know the rest. Seema Ahluwalia of Oxford Learning Centre believes it’s time to rethink that saying, especially the “no more books” part. Did you know that students who take a complete break from learning during the summer months could potentially lose up to 40% of their learning momentum? Research has proven this time and again. That’s why it’s so important to include education in your summer plans. During the past school year, did your child encounter any academic obstacles? If so, then summer is the perfect time to not only catch-up in those problem areas, but also to get ahead. Don’t exclude summer school from your summer planning because of any negative preconceptions you may have; summer school is an opportunity, not an obstacle. It offers a less strenuous learning environment and allows your child can get the individual attention that he or she may not get throughout the school year. Summer is an open expanse of time that’s perfect for working on trouble areas, catching up, getting

uch will be made of the federal government’s decision to give the Northern Gateway pipeline its approval. However, it is important to put last week’s decision in the proper perspective. The Joint Review Panel, which earlier gave Northern Gateway the green light, put 209 conditions on that approval — conditions which Enbridge, the proponent, has said it will fulfil. There probably isn’t anyone in B.C. who hasn’t heard an Enbridge ad about the 209 conditions.

Then there’s the five provincial conditions that Premier Christy Clark laid down before last year’s provincial election. While they are general in nature, they constitute some stiff barriers. One of them, calling for the proponent to have agreements with First Nations, may prove impossible, unless there is a marked change on the part of many northern B.C. First Nations. Even if agreements with First Nations are reached, it is quite likely that there will still be some lawsuits over the pipeline. Any First Nations group or individual wishing to sue has the ability to stop the entire pipeline in its tracks — possibly for years.

The Mackenzie Valley pipeline, proposed for the Northwest Territories in the 1970s, is a classic example of how lawsuits can effectively kill a resources project. By the time all lawsuits and other regulatory hurdles were dealt with, the project was no longer economic and it has never been built. At this juncture, it seems that is the most likely scenario for Enbridge’s proposal. Is there a need to move Canada’s resources to offshore customers? Yes, there is. Those resources include oil. But given the nature of bitumen, the product being shipped, and the hazards of navigation on B.C.’s north coast,

there are many legitimate concerns about shipping this product, particularly from Kitimat, which is connected to the Pacific Ocean by a relatively narrow channel. It would make more sense to ship refined oil products, from proposed northern B.C. refineries in Kitimat and Prince Rupert, and that would meet at least some of the objections to Northern Gateway. Such projects would also create many more jobs in B.C., which means that this province would gain more benefits for the considerable risk it is being exposed to. The final decision on this project is a long ways off. —Black Press

A brief history of teacher demands

B.C. Views Tom Fletcher

few things have changed since the last all-out teacher strike in B.C.

That was just two years ago, when the B.C. Teachers’ Federation was coming off its second-ever voluntary agreement with a 16% raise over five years and what the union termed an “enhanced” signing bonus of $4,000. Even with special teacher-only top-ups, BCTF members almost rejected the last of the government’s big-spending pre-Olympic labour deals signed in 2006. By 2012, outraged teachers were back on the legislature lawn, howling for another 16%, with backup vocals provided as usual by HEU, CUPE, BCGEU and other public sector unions that settled for less. Teachers had just sailed through a crippling global recession with a series of raises, but were oblivious to all that. Last week the protest venue switched to Vancouver, where both the crowd and the demands looked a bit thinner.

basket of cash disguised as benefit improvements and so forth. Government negotiators put their total compensation demand at 14.5%. One obvious dodge: they want the bottom two steps of the teacher salary grid dropped. That’s simply a raise for entry-level teachers. Admittedly those are rare creatures these days with shrinking enrolment and ironclad seniority rules that allow retired teachers to monopolize substitute

work. Something else that’s changed since 2012 is that the government has granted the BCTF’s wish to bargain directly with the province. The education ministry executed a takeover of the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association after last year’s election, and installed veteran industrial union negotiator Peter Cameron. He’s backed up by longtime labour specialist Lee Doney, whose task is to

keep the teacher deal within Treasury Board limits that have defined all other public sector union settlements. Doney made it clear last week that no mediator is going to come in and “split the baby” as long as the BCTF position is so far beyond the current compensation framework. Despite constant union complaints of low wages and deteriorating working conditions in B.C. schools, education grads remain lined up around the block

hoping to get in. Why is that? For those who have been exposed to life outside school for a while, it’s fairly simple. The job market out here in the real world is tough. And here’s how the real world evaluates a teaching job. Start with 189 working days, each nine hours long as per the accepted definition, and the top-heavy seniority list that places the average teacher salary at around $72,000 a year. That works out to $42.32 an hour, plus a suite of benefits that most private sector employees can only dream about, starting with three months of prime-time vacation. I am occasionally lectured by teachers that the job goes far beyond five hours in the classroom and an additional four hours a day preparing and marking. They throw out different estimates, variously defined. Alas, it’s a salaried job, and we salaried employees in the real world don’t waste a lot of time counting hours. Here’s the work, here’s the deadline, here’s the pay. Take it or leave it. Consider another union demand that seems to be just another thinly disguised raise. The BCTF wants a large increase in preparation time for elementary school. There are no duties being added here. For this one item, government negotiators calculate the cost to taxpayers at $86.2 million every year by the fifth year of the BCTF proposal.

Seniors need a dedicated centre Editor: Re: “Single Minoru Park building offers most flexibility”(Richmond Review, June 18). I have been a member of the Minoru Place Activity Centre for more than five years and have been involved in several of the activities offered there. As the centre is becoming more and more utilized by more and more seniors we were very excited at the prospect of the new larger seniors centre. While I fully understand the need to incorporate best practices and trends the idea that seniors compromise and co-operate with other groups that will ultimately in reality offer less than they are presently utilizing is an unthinkable solution. If taken a vote I would think that

every senior would unanimously choose to stay exactly where we are now. The reality is that demographically the seniors will be the spike of the population for at least the next 20 years. So while I agree that space should be well built that eventually could be put to other uses the safety and well-being of the rapidly growing baby boomers flooding our community should be given priority over other perceived requirements at this time. Many of us, myself included are handicapped and would find multipurpose rooms not dedicated to the needs of seniors to be overwhelming and perhaps even a little bit scary. As seniors are living longer, more and more programs will be developed that will incorpo-

rate morning, noon and night use of the senior facility. We will require dedicated parking with plenty for handicap, dedicated washrooms, social spaces and exercise spaces. At present the facility has a dedicated billiards room which is in constant use. It would be a tragedy if that was no longer available. The seniors cafeteria offers excellent and nutritious choices for seniors and we would be reluctant to share a hubbub of a multiuse cafeteria. Seniors have compromised and co-operated their entire lives. I urge city council to build us the large, safe, functional and dedicated facility that we so richly deserve. If not, leave us where we are! Marilyn Berger Richmond

The melodic sounds of demolition Editor: Well, it’s that time of the year again— that time when you can sit on your back deck and savour the melodic sounds of another house being demolished, the incessant hammering, loud music, and shouting emanating from the construction site a few doors away, of dump-trucks hissing and rumbling their way up and down your street, and the ringing of your doorbell as another ambitious realtor stops by to ask if you are interested in selling your home. Add to this symphony the neighbour

who seems to have nothing better to do with his time than mow the lawn and power wash every vertical surface on his property three times a week and the extremely active party house down the block, and you have the complete Richmond summer experience. So, everybody raise your voices once again in that anthem to summer: “Summertiiiiime, and the living is noisy/ Hammers are jumpin’ and the dust is risin’ high.” Ray Arnold Richmond

Shouldn’t investing in education be a good thing? Editor: There are no winners in this latest provincial dispute in public education. We all lose. Students lose time and valuable experiences at school. Parents lose faith in the public school system and sick days. Teachers lose morale and wages to pay the bills. Even the government loses some public support. The only winner here is the media who has a constant source of highly contentious drama to feed upon. I am a very proud product of the Richmond school system and now I’ve taught in this district for more than 16 years. I knew I wanted to be a teacher when I was enjoying my Grade 10 English class at J.N. Burnett (thank you, Mr. Rance!). Little did I know that following in the footsteps of my teaching mentors presented challenges that were so incredibly varied: trying to be teacher, parent, counselor, doctor, therapist, motivational speaker, entertainer, historian, organizer, security, custodian, and chauffeur all in one. Juggling these hats is just a part of our regular days. Like countless classrooms around the province, my Grade 6/7 class is like a slow, simmering crockpot of society. The recipe includes behavioral challenges, intellectual disabilities, autism, ADD, ODD, ELL, IEPs (and if you know what these are, you must be a teacher), along with a sprinkle of gifted here and many social/ familial issues that arise each and every day (many of which leave a deep stain). Oh, and for a little extra seasoning we add governmental changes to curriculum that just do not add anything to the recipe. And of course, we set the table each day with our lessons neatly placed and within our heads we have visions of adding something a little special to the meal like coaching teams, sponsoring clubs, mentoring young teachers, and planning with our peers. Marking and report cards are like the vegetables that we need to include in the meal but it’s a challenge to fit them in. Somehow, like my colleagues, we make it all palatable, knowing full well that not everyone is a fan of the meal and that the table will be a mess afterwards. Once the metaphorical daily meal is over, I often spend my evenings and weekends marking assign-

ments, planning lessons, and writing reports for the kids. During seven months of the year, I coach basketball, volleyball, and track while balancing various staff committees and attending meetings; most of all, I take immense pride in the classroom lessons I create for my students. I’m not self-indulgent enough to think that we are the only difficult job in the known universe. Every job comes with its challenges and everyone has issues with their employer. I get that and I appreciate that. It’s just that when teachers seek changes to the education system and dare we say it, ask for a raise, we are much maligned for it. That hurts. I realize that our system of bargaining is often a propaganda monster and a highly publicized mess. I’d be foolish not to see that as it stands it is fractured and flawed. I also see that some of our “demands” in bargaining seem outlandish (some of which the membership were not consulted upon). But that is a part of the legal maze that most of us never, ever imagined would be a part of our job description. What we have always wanted was for public schools to be properly funded to support all the students in the best learning environment possible. I write this letter because I’m one of the thousands of passionate teachers in this province that care deeply about the kids and an educational system that allows for every student to succeed in a future that will shape our society for the next generation. I owe a great deal to those teachers who spent time nurturing me. Now, I’ve had the opportunity to teach some wonderful kids and I will never forget any one of them. I’ve spent many days and nights worrying about each of them and how they would function in the future. But, that leads me to the one question in all of this mess just never leaves my mind: Shouldn’t investing more money into educating children always be a good thing? If not, eventually we will all lose. Sean Yesaki Garden City School

Amateur radio club holds annual field day exercise Local amateur radio operators will be connecting with tens of thousands of colleagues across Canada, the U.S. and the world for the annual field day exercise on June 28 and 29 at Garry Point Park. The field day is the most significant onthe-air event for the Richmond Amateur Radio Club, as it will be an opportunity for operators to demonstrate their emergency radio communication skills. The weekend event is also a chance to practice in field conditions under a lessthan-optimal environment, participate in an international contest to contact as many radio stations as possible, and promote the local club to the general public. “Carrying out exercise like Field Day and providing radio communication support at local community events makes our members better prepared when

Singer known as Nikki Omen talks about his saxophone skills, Taco Luis and metal fans by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

bsence can indeed make the heart grow fonder. But this fairytale isn’t one lined with chirping birds and show tunes, it’s set to the sound of heavy metal.

Nick Oszinski, born and raised in Steveston, is the frontman of the heavy metal and hard rock band Among the

8160 Cook Road (across from Staples) 604-207-2636 • 11AM-11PM DAILY •

Betrayed, a group that formed a decade ago only to part ways a few years later. The guys found other bands, and in those years apart Oszinski recorded a track with Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger, and opened for acts like Our Lady Peace and Ian Thornley from Big Wreck. But they all missed playing together, so the guys reunited. Now Among the Betrayed is celebrating its first real release, the EP The Need to Make a Change—available for free on the band’s website starting June 27, the same day as a release party at the Media Club in Vancouver. Oszinski, also known as Nikki Omen, handles the vocals. Fellow Richmond natives Maximus Whyman and Monty Lang play guitars and drums respectively, and

Nick Oszinski, also known as Nikki Omen (at left), is lead singer of Among the Betrayed, which also includes Monty Lang, Maximus Whyman and Steve Myers. All but Myers are Richmond natives.

Steve Myers rounds out the sound on bass. Oszinski, 29, attended Tomekichi Homma Elementary and R.A. McMath Secondary, and now lives in Vancouver. He started making music in Grade 6 with the alto saxophone. He wanted to play guitar, but his band teacher

didn’t see it as a concert band fit. As a teen he played both instruments, and developed his talent for singing. Away from his band, Oszinski is a radio producer for Willy in the Morning on Classic Rock 101. 1. How did you get into radio? “I remember wanting to get into

radio as early at about six or seven years old. The only problem was I had a lisp and I talked really slow for a long time. Everyone said I would never make it—if I didn’t get over it. But eventually, after speech therapy and practice, I did get over it.” See Page 11

20 Questions with… Nick Oszinski From Page 10 2. What’s Willy (Percy) like away from the mic? “Willy is pretty much exactly the same on and off mic. He’s one of the most generous and real people I’ve known to date. I could tell you a lot of stories that nobody hears about that make this guy such a solid dude. I know he doesn’t like to talk about a lot of the amazing things he’s done for people over the years, but let me tell you, this guy gives his time, money and heart like pretty much nobody I’ve ever seen in this business.” 3. What drew you to metal? “I think frustration has a lot to do with that. Growing up feeling different, feeling like nobody was listening. I was also bullied a fair amount when I was young, and that leads to a lot of resentment and anger. I guess those can be common themes in a lot of metal. I think what really drew me to it was the realization that there more people out

with... there like me, people that saw the world a little differently.” 4. What explains the continued interest in the genre among fans? “Metal fans are really the most dedicated fans in the world. As long as you have people that are being oppressed and pissed off in the world, I think there will always be some form of metal. To me, it’s something that unifies the voiceless.” 5. Something that happens at a metal concert, not at a Bieber show? “Intelligent music and moshing.” 6. Greatest misconception about heavy metal? “That it’s just a bunch of noise. I grew up playing jazz on the alto saxophone. Sometimes I see a parallel between metal and jazz in just how intricate they can both be.”

7. Your band has a documentary film? “Yes. We will be releasing it online for free in the weeks following the release of The Need to Make a Change. The documentary follows the writing and recording process of this new EP as well as some live footage, and some of the band’s shenanigans.” 8. A memorable show? “In my other band, Southern Death Threat, we played an outdoor festival with Our Lady Peace, Marianna’s Trench, Social Code, Faber Drive and a bunch of others when we were on tour in Brandon, Man. It was the biggest show I’ve ever played to date. It was a rush!” 9. A music legend you’d love to jam with? “Slash. He’s pretty much my favourite guitar player.” 10. An instrument you’d love to learn? “I’ve always wished that I had learned the piano. It’s such a diverse instrument.”

11. Something unusual on your iPod? “The Counting Crows. Always loved those guys. It’s kind of a guilty pleasure.” 12. Best fast food meal? “Taco Luis in Lansdowne. The guy that runs the place is hilarious too.” 13. A favourite Richmond memory? “Drinking with the boys in Sherwood Forest and Hunter’s Trail.” 14. Best time of day? “It depends on my mood. Sometimes I like 4 a.m. in the summer when the sun is coming up and nobody’s awake. Sometimes I like 11 p.m. when the party is just getting started.” 15. Some of your favourite bands growing up? “Growing up I listened to a lot of the Seattle scene of the early ‘90s. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Temple of the Dog. Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson were big ones for me as well… When I got to high school it was all about Pantera, Slayer

and Slipknot.” 16. Listening to music on vinyl is…? “A warmer sound.” 17. Place you might take a first date? “The aquarium, followed by a bar.” 18. How did The Need to Make a Change come together? “It was a collection of songs we felt belonged together. We didn’t have a big budget to spend on this

EP, so we decided to demo about 12 songs before we narrowed it down to the five we were going to record. We did five songs in five days. I think the final product has actually exceeded band expectations. We think it sounds killer, and we hope the audience is on the same page.” 19. Your hope for Among the Betrayed?

Don Fennell photo Jeremy Wowk of the Richmond Mariners keeps a close eye on the ball during a game against the Poco Angels at the second annual George Keeley Memorial Fastball Classic Saturday at Steveston Park. Mariners won 3-2.

Rebels repeat at Keeley Classic by Don Fennell Sports Editor Richmond Canadians found a way to reach the final Saturday. But they had little left when they got there. After edging Richmond rival Stealers, 5-4 in a 13-inning classic, the Canadians bowed 5-1 to Surrey Rebels in the championship game—played immediately afterwards—of the second annual George Keeley Memorial Fastball Classic at Steveston Park. The Canadians had a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the seventh inning against the Stealers, only to

watch it disappear on a two-out, two-strike home run by Matt McMann. “The tournament featured some excellent ball,” said tournament organizer and Stealers’ manager Marshall Shields. The tournament honours Keeley, who was a longtime volunteer in local men’s fastball circles. He was affectionately known as the “Voice of Steveston Park,” where for many seasons he called the games of the nowdefunct Richmond Senior Men’s Fastball League. •The Canadians, Stealers and Mariners (which also partici-

pated in the Keeley Classic) are all scheduled to play a series of exhibition games against the under-19 men’s national teams from Australia, New Zealand and Canada over the next couple of weeks. Canadians are slated to kick off play 1 p.m. Saturday versus Australia at Steveston Park. Mariners will cap the doubleheader versus Australia at 3 p.m. Also on tap at Steveston Park are games featuring New Zealand on July 7—versus the Canadians at 6:45 p.m. and the Mariners at 8:30 p.m.. The Stealers are slated to play Team Canada on July 8 at 6:45 p.m.

Team will face tough test in A flight at B.C. championship next month by Don Fennell Sports Editor

Don Fennell photo Al Groff is immensely proud of his Islanders 92/93 women’s fastball team as it prepares to play in the provincial A championship next month in Victoria.

(Wednesday) at 8:30 p.m. versus the Rage at London Park. Their final home game is set for 7 p.m. July 2 versus Surrey Storm, with the season-ender July 8 versus the Elite at Fleetwood Park. “This season has been one of consolidation, integrating some new players into

a good team and making it better,” says Groff. The Islanders are coming off a surprisingly strong showing at the Kassandra Kaulius Memorial Tournament, hosted by the Surrey Storm, last weekend. The Islanders didn’t win any of their four games in the A flight, but showed well in each. Groff was particularly proud of the way his team played in a 3-2 loss to the defending national champion Storm 95 that included many college players. Richmond’s Sara Hopwood, a member of the Canadian national team, played second base for the Storm. But the Isles refused to be awed by their talented opponents and actually led 1-0 early on. Catcher and third-base player Amanda Odorico, one of eight first-year players on the team, was inspired when she was able to power a hit past former coach Hopwood during the game. Centrefielder Shayla Kaplan, who played as a rookie for University of B.C. Thunderbirds this past season, has also stood tall this season for Groff’s team, as has Carling Hare, a pitcher from Douglas College Royals who following the senior women’s campaign will head to Great Britain to play for the latter at the world championship. •Richmond will be hosting the Lower Mainland U16 girls’ championship this weekend at London Park.

huge strides as a team,” Orr said. “Now, however, we’re focused on our goal of winning gold at the world championships.” Canada, which also lost to Australia in the gold-medal match at the 2012 Paralympic

Youth on Islanders’ side as team readies for provincials

Richmond Islanders 92/93 women’s fastball team made quite a splash in their debut at the senior women’s B championship last year. But an encore performance may be asking too much. Not only will the Islanders be playing for the A flight title (they were automatically elevated as a result of their second-place finish), but also won’t have home-field advantage either with the 2014 tournament scheduled for July 25 to 27 in Victoria. Yet while coach Al Groff has no illusions of grandeur for his team, he isn’t exactly throwing in the towel. “Our oldest player is only 23, so we’re certainly not an old team,” he says. “I’m not sure how much we’ll win, but I expect we’ll be competitive. We’re going to try to take up the challenge.” Currently a point back of Fleetwood Force for first place in the Fraser-Delta Women’s Fastball League, the Islanders (12-3-1) have three games remaining in their Tier 1 schedule including tonight

The dynamic duo simply couldn’t be contained. Ryley Batt and Chris Bond combined on numerous offensive forays to power Australia to a 62-54 win over Team Canada in the final of 2014 Canada Cup International Wheelchair Rugby Tournament Saturday at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Playing in front of packed crowd of supporters, often showing exuberance and appreciation for the skills of the athletes on the floor, Batt—who has previously been referred to as the best wheelchair rugby player in the world—demonstrated breakaway speed and a unique ability to spin away from defenders to keep the Aussies in front throughout the gold-medal match between the No. 2 and 3 ranked teams in the world. And whenever Canada did attempt to double team the elusive Batt, he was able to find the equally-quick Bond with a breakaway pass. “That combination of Batt and Bond is so deadly that if we want to beat them, we simply can’t afford any mental lapses,” said Team Canada head coach Kevin Orr. There’s a good chance the teams might square off again in just over a month. Both teams have qualified in the 2014 International Wheelchair Rugby Federation World Championships Aug. 4 to 10 in Odense, Denmark. The event will also include No. 1-ranked U.S. “The Canada Cup was an excellent learning experience for us and we made some

B But healt alth has improved for fo r se eiz zed Rottweilers, who h ve each lost between 10 hav a d 15 pounds and by Ja b acq queliine Langen and Ma ar tin n van den Hemel Bllack k Pre ess

A bid to o h av ve two Rottweilers released fr rom dogg g y d e ath row was denied by a Richm mond d pro ov in n cii al court judge, who ruled last week w k he e d id d n’t t have jurisdiction to hear the m matte e r.

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

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.

The extra exercise, along with a cha ang ge to their diet, has resulted in a notable up ptic ck in their health, Peschisolido said. The Nijjers are hoping their pets willl be re turned and have built an enclosure th hey say ensures that the dogs never escape ag gain n. The enclosure was inspected by anim mal be haviour specialist Dr. Rebecca Ledge er, who noted there are now three fences—ea ach “at least five feet tall, robust and well-cons stru ucted”—between the Nijjer’s yard and the e ad dja acent 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.

uckets full of slippery, slimy, squirmy fish were caught, measured and released at the 25th annual Bullhead Derby, hosted by the Richmond Golden Rods and Reels Society at Garry Point Park on Sunday.

“We look forward to it every year,” said John Wells, president of the Richmond Golden Rods and Reels Society. The event, which was presented by the Steveston Salmon Festival, was open to kids aged 12 and under and seniors 65

Neil and Kyle Paterson.

and older. There were close to 100 participants who had two hours to try and catch the biggest bullhead fish they could find. All of the fish, regardless of species, were measured once they were caught and then released back into the river. The event is a fun way to introduce kids to fishing as a recreational activity. “The earlier they start the better,” Wells said. Trophies were given to the kids who caught

the three longest bullheads, which were 13.5, 12 and 10.5 inches long. There were also a number of rods, reels and other fishing gear that were given away in a random draw and as prizes for things including the smallest bullhead, the longest non-bullhead and the youngest fisher.

69th Annual Steveston Salmon Festival

Steveston is home to Canada’s biggest birthday party The streets of Steveston will be alive with red-and-white colour as revellers celebrate the nation’s 147th birthday on Canada Day. The 69th annual Steveston Salmon Festival returns on July 1 and volunteer organizers have brought back the favourite attractions that bring tens of thousands to the fishing village each Canada Day: pancake breakfast, parade, live entertainment, trade show, crafts and children’s activities. It’s a festival organized by dedicated volunteers. Janice Froese, executive director of the Steveston Salmon Festival, says people never tire of the annual Steveston Salmon Festival parade because, she believes, it reflects positively on the community. “We try to keep the focus on community and because of that we see a lot of the community organizations represented in the parade,” she says. “It’s an opportunity for them to be seen by tens of thousands of people along the parade route and also for show their Canadian pride. And one of the things I really enjoy about the parade is seeing all the kids and their sports teams and the smiles on their faces and how much fun they’re having.” The fun begins bright and early at 6:30 a.m. with a pancake breakfast in the parking lot of Steveston Community Centre hosted by 12th

Richard Lam photo One of the colourful floats from last year’s Steveston Salmon Festival. This year’s parade starts at 10 a.m. on July 1.

Steveston Salmon Festival turns 69 Where it’s going: Although the 2014 Steveston Salmon Festival hasn’t happened yet, organizers are already working on next year’s event. And it’s shaping up to be a doozy, if for no other reason than it’s the 70th anniversary of the event. Though the Steveston Salmon Festival is a oneday affair, organizing it takes months of effort, and involves hundreds of volunteers.

Where it came from: From a humble sports day event organized by neighbours hoping to fundraise for a playground at Steveston Park in 1944, to drawing 70,000 people for the parade, the Steveston Salmon Festival has come a long way. Today, it is one of the largest non-profit Canada Day celebrations in the country. But even back then, residents marvelled at the grassroots-organized event. It said as much in the headlines in the then Marpole-Richmond Review: “Steveston Sports Day Best In Living Memory of Present Residents.” A Salmon Queen pageant was added to Sports Day in 1946, and that addition gave the event more publicity than ever before. Soon the event blossomed into a carnival. The event has since undergone many transformations, including the name, which went from Richmond Salmon Queen Carnival to the Steveston Salmon Festival. The day of the Salmon Queen came to an end in 1986, but the festival continued to grow. And while there have been other changes, what’s at the core has remained the same. The event is an homage to the fishing village’s salmon empire, and it’s organized and operated by selfless, dedicated citizens of Steveston who are happy to host what’s known as “Canada’s biggest little birthday party.” — courtesy Victoria Kendall, Steveston Community Society

Salmon at heart of festival

ne of the highlights of the Salmon Festival is the salmon.

Every year as salmon is placed on the grill and its delicious aroma fills the air, crowds gather and a long lineup forms for the Salmon Bake Barbecue.

It’s hard to resist the freshly barbecued, wild salmon served each year at the Steveston Salmon Festival. It always sells out. There is no marinade or spice; all of the flavour comes from the fish itself and the alder wood the fillets are cooked over. Canada Day’s famous Salmon

Bake couldn’t be done without the 35 to 40 volunteers from Sutton Group - Seafair Realty who barbecue more than 1,200 pounds of salmon each year. Barbecuing starts at 11 a.m. until the fish runs out later in the afternoon. Cost is $15, cash only.

69th Annual Steveston Salmon Festival

Longtime volunteer helped showcase Japanese culture Steveston’s Mary Hirano named honorary parade marshal for this year’s Salmon Fest

Motorheads will surely be revved up to see a pair of NASCAR showcars at this year’s Steveston Salmon Festival. Kasey Kahne’s #5 Great Clips and the open-wheel Great Clips #9 car driven by current World of Outlaws champion Daryn Pittman will line alongside 24 hot rods which were on display at the recent Richmond Lions Club’s annual Show and Shine.

Fans are encouraged to take their photos with the show cars and pick up a free card that includes driver photos and bios. As of June 25, the Richmond Lions Club, which is organizing the display, was looking for another 25 entries to fill the space. Interested parties were asked to contact Doug Harder at dougharder42@yahoo.ca.

PROTECT THE PEOPLE AND PLACES YOU LOVE.

n 68 years, the Steveston Salmon Festival has seen plenty of change. But Mary Hirano has come to know a few things that never change—the people and their community spirit. “I have many wonderful memories over the years. However it was working with such a strong team of awesome staff and volunteers that I will always remember,” she said. “The Steveston Salmon Festival has the strongest community spirit. “When it comes time many people come to support it, and it has become a tradition for many in Steveston on Canada Day.” On July 1, volunteers will stage the 69th installment of the festival—with Hirano, who turns 73 the day after, as the honourary parade marshal. Hirano, a thirdgeneration JapaneseCanadian, was born in Steveston and graduated from Steveston High. She lived in Wakayama, Japan for five years after the Second World War, returning to Steveston in 1952. While in Japan she learned the art of Japanese dance, and her insight into Japanese culture grew. Her passion for Japanese dance prompted her to earn a teaching degree and begin conducting dance workshops. She became co-ordinator of a Steveston Salmon Festival staple: the Japanese Cultural Show. In its first year, the entire show was

held in a single hall. It has since grown much larger. At this year’s festival, the Kendo Hall of the Martial Arts Centre will host displays of Japanese culture from

10 a.m. to 4 p.m., including ikebana, bonsai and calligraphy. Inside the Judo Hall, martial arts and dancing demonstrations will take place in the afternoon. The Japanese Cultural Centre, meanwhile, will host craft demonstrations, Japanese Language School displays and sales. Hirano said being a part of the festival gave her the opportunity to share and promote the cultural heritage of our multicultural society. “I wanted to help introduce and showcase the many local artists and their talents, share and present our cultural heritage in a respectful manner while having it accessible to everyone,” she said. She enjoyed the

challenge of improving the show each year by carefully considering viewers’ suggestions to enhance the cultural displays, making them more colourful and meaningful. When comment books started filling with positive feedback, Hirano realized she had done her job, and it was time to pass it on to someone younger to bring a new energy to the show. That was two years ago. Said Hirano: “I enjoyed the challenges of organizing and creating such a meaningful event and working with a variety of wonderful volunteers, artists and demonstrators. It was a fulfilling experience over the many years.”

hen Maricel Cabral takes her oath to become a Canadian citizen at this year’s Steveston Salmon Festival, her parents who are visiting from the Philippines will be there to witness it. Cabral, 31, will be among 40 people who are sworn in during a special hour-long ceremony that begins at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, July 1. “I’m sure I’m going to cry,” Cabral said as her three-year-old son Xavier kicked around a ball in their home’s backyard. Cabral’s story is like so many who have moved to Richmond from the Philippines. She’s seeking a better life for her family, and knows that in Canada, if you work hard, the rewards will follow. Her grandmother already lives in the Lower Mainland, and Cabral

is seeking to sponsor her 24-year-old brother and 22-year-old sister to come here too. It was nine years ago that Cabral first moved to Canada, initially working as a live-in caregiver. She’s now married to Ivan, and they have a three-yearold son, Xavier.

Canada has a stellar international reputation, and it’s no different in the Philippines, she said. “Everybody wants to come here,” she said, adding it will be a proud moment when she reads out the oath with dozens of other candidates. Cabral said Canada’s

health care and education systems translate into a brighter future. She’s now working as a home support worker, helping seniors with bathing, medicine and meals, she said. Her husband works for a group home, working with adults with mental disabilities. Had she stayed in the Philippines, which remains a Third World country, even a college education doesn’t guarantee a better future. Cabral said in order to work at a McDonalds in the Philippines, you need a degree. The Canada Day ceremony will feature a judge who will swear in the candidates, Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie will serve as master of ceremonies, the Richmond Delta Youth Orchestra will provide a string quartet, and Richmond’s Audrey De Boer will sing “O Canada.” It’s the first year the Salmon Festival has had a citizenship swearing-in ceremony.

69th Annual Steveston Salmon Festival

Parade marshal taps his expertise Bill Di Pasquale’s skills as an air traffic controller help keep the parade moving smoothly by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

ining up more than 100 different groups, and north of 3,100 people of all ages, and then getting them to march a one-mile parade route without bumping into one another requires some serious skills. Bill Di Pasquale, one of two parade marshals for the 2014 Steveston Salmon Festival—along with engineer Randy Hing who brings a cool head and problem-solving ability—is an air traffic controller by day, and that expertise has come in handy when sweating the logistics of the event. “It’s like herding cats,” he joked. Di Pasquale has worked at Vancouver International Airport for the past 24 years, and lives in the fishing village. Keeping jumbo jets sufficiently apart allows him to retain his day job, and for his volunteer work, he’s made similar calls to ensure there are no groundlevel clashes. From making sure two loud groups aren’t lined up back-to-back, to ensuring political interests are kept apart, there’s a certain finesse that goes into organizing the Canada Day parade. Di Pasquale, who took over the parade marshal responsibilities several years ago from Craig Ross who did it for so many years, said he simply loves doing the work for the community, volunteering about 50 hours in total, including about 20 hours on the day

69th Annual Steveston Salmon Festival

Salmon Fest hosts volleyball tournament

“All it takes is a really good team not having a good morning to upset the order of things.” — Dustin Schmaltz

Seafair Minor Hockey Association Update Great Hockey – Great People

by Don Fennell Sports Editor

midst all the colourful floats and traditional pageantry, a “reverse co-ed” 4’s volleyball tournament serves as one of the hidden gems at the annual Steveston Salmon Festival.

Set to tip off Canada Day (Tuesday, July 1) at 8:30 a.m., the all-day event (the final goes around 5 p.m.) will feature some 65 teams of four from all around the province. “Not that recreation teams won’t be included, but it will be a very competitive group including even some college and university players,” says longtime organizer Dustin Schmaltz. “And the open category is very competitive. Once the playoffs roll around toward the end of the day the matches become intense and the rallies long. It’s really fun to watch.” In addition to two male and two female players being required on the court at all times, the reverse rules help to level the playing field, says Schmaltz—who prior to conceding at a recent tournament that his playing days are over—excelled in the game despite being

The Salmon Festival volleyball tournament promises to be unpredictable.

only five foot six. “Personally, I consider volleyball a short person’s game,” he laughs. Among the notable rule differences in the reverse game: male players must hit behind the 3-metre line and cannot block shots by females. All this adds up to unpredictability, says Schmaltz, who previously coached high school volleyball for eight years at R.A. McMath Secondary, helping to guide the Wildcats to three provincial championship tournaments. “Each team plays five

round-robin games in their designated pool, usually completed before lunch, and there are always some surprises,” he says. “Some teams that register as AA teams, who don’t necessarily think they’re as good as they are, end up in the open pool. All it takes is a really good team not having a good morning to upset the order of things.” Held since 2003, the tournament is organized by Cambie Sports and takes placed on the grass ball diamond adjacent to the Steveston Community Centre.

Come to our our 3rd Try Hockey Event and Equipment Swap. It’s free, thanks to the sponsorship from VANCITY.

Steveston Salmon Festival honours Ted Lorenz by Don Fennell Staff Reporter

man whose vision and footprints helped to shape the community is being honoured at this year’s Steveston Salmon Festival.

Ted Lorenz, who passed away in February following complications after undergoing double bypass heart surgery in late 2013, made significant contributions to the annual Canada Day celebrations for more than 60 years. The grand award presented to the best community group in the parade is being renamed the Ted Lorenz Award in his honour. “His imprint is everywhere,” says Janice Froese, executive director of the Steveston Salmon Festival. “I miss Ted at this time of the year for his wisdom, experience and historical knowledge. “As we closer to July 1, I realize even more how much impact he had on this event, especially with the parade. His

fingerprints are everywhere and I feel his

presence with us.” Known by many for

his longtime service with Richmond FireRescue, eventually moving up the ranks to become chief in 1979, Lorenz was a former president of the Steveston Community Society and was among a handful of individuals who mortgaged their homes to help pay for the completion of Steveston Community Centre facilities. He enjoyed a lifelong association with the society and the Steveston Salmon Festival. He considered community as a way of life. The parade begins at 10 a.m. at Garry Point Park, Seventh Avenue and Chatham Street, then turns south on Third Avenue, winds back onto Moncton Street and ends at Railway Avenue. Featuring more than 100 entries including floats, marching bands, celebrities, politicians, and community groups, it is the official kickoff to the 69th annual Salmon Festival.

Children’s Fest has loads of fun for the young

Richard Lam photos The Children’s Bike Parade kicks off at 9:30 a.m.

Children get their own parade While the Steveston Salmon Festival is known for its parade, children get one of their own beforehand. The Children’s Bike Parade is a chance for kids to show their Canadian pride and cycle the parade route before the floats embark on the main parade. Children interested in entering the bike parade should bring their decorated bikes, trikes and wagons to the corner at Chatham and Third Avenue at 8:30 am. Pre-parade fun includes a special participation ribbon and treats for the kids as they wait for the parade marshals to send them off. The bike parade travels down 3rd Avenue then East on Moncton Street to the Community Police Station. All children must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian. Helmets are mandatory. No preregistration is necessary. For info, e-mail: bikeparade@stevestonsalmonfest. ca.

69th Annual Steveston Salmon Festival

Arrogant Worms are still finding the funny in Canada Familyfriendly group headlines Main Stage at Canada Day celebrations

â&#x20AC;&#x153;And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ever in any trouble, you just yell out: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Canada.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; You can pretend theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cheering for you.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Trevor Strong

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something distinctly Canadian about the longtime comedic music trio the Arrogant Worms. OK, make that obviously Canadian. The Worms sing about goofy ordinary stuff. It just so happens much of it is about the Great White North. Their newest album SPACE offers plenty of hat tipping to Canada with songs like

The Arrogant Worms: Mike McCormick, Chris Patterson and Trevor Strong.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yoga Pants,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We Talk About the Weatherâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Canada Rules the World.â&#x20AC;? The music comes from the minds of Trevor Strong, Chris Patterson and Mike McCormick. The group, which headlines the Steveston Salmon Festival Main Stage on July 1, started in 1991 by entertaining a small Kingston, Ont. campus radio audience with sketch comedy. They morphed into a musical group that was soon bringing â&#x20AC;&#x153;fast, furious and family friendlyâ&#x20AC;? shows to crowds across Canada. Fans of folk and patrons of parody had to wait nearly six years

between albums until the March arrival of SPACE, whose digital liner notes explain where their ideas come from: outer space (aliens send lyrics), inner space (large areas of their brains filled with useless thoughts) and that space between albums. Their 12th release comes at a time when the Worms have slowed down from early days of regular recordings and plenty of performances for peanuts. The guys now have kids and live in different cities, said Strong, the Wormsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead singer, in a telephone interview from Kingston.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before if we had a really good show in Winnipeg, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go do that show and have our agent dig up five or six more, even if they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really paying. Now we just fly out, do the good show, and fly back again,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little too old to sleep on floors and do the extra long drives for the show that may or may not pay us.â&#x20AC;? Before last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest hits compilation Hindsight 20/20, the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous effort of Torpid came in 2008 with songs everyone can relate to like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Box Store,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;She Talks During Moviesâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I Were Prime Minister.â&#x20AC;? The Worms deliberately write about the Canadian experience, in part because they never felt the need to do things differently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because we never went through that phase of breaking internationally,â&#x20AC;? said Strong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of Canadian acts that do Canadian songs, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also that temptation of why would I put all my effort into doing this song when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only going to appeal to people in Canada.â&#x20AC;?

In their early days, the Worms got work writing songs for CBC Radio. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also seen lots of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;repeatedlyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; so they write what they know. The group performs on Canada Day about every other year, and gigs have included the big stage on Parliament Hill. Strong said performing in front of the big Ottawa crowd isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as nerve-racking as it might seem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually much easier than you would think it is. When thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that many people, they all look like ants. And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ever in any trouble, you just yell out: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Canada,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can pretend theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cheering for you.â&#x20AC;? When the Worms play outside Canada, they bring some of their Canadian material. Songs with obvious themes like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Really Bigâ&#x20AC;? work well, while tracks with more subtle Canadian humour like â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I Were Prime Ministerâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which suggests making the doughnut our official flowerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;might draw confused looks south of the border. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ones that do work, people like it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being celebrated for our ethnicity,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the charm when we do them in the States: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian humour.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?
