Strawberry season may be over, but Richmond’s other berry crops are ripe and ready—including one of the city’s lesserknown varieties. Tayberries have been a mainstay at Shell Road Farm since the Baerg family started business 23 years ago. They might be less popular than the farm’s sweet crop of raspberries, but with few local growers, the tayberry is a popular draw for the South Richmond farm. “We are getting more and more customers every year. Once they try it, they’re a repeat customer,” said Betty Baerg said of the deep red berry that’s a cross between a blackberry and raspberry. “It makes a very nice pie.” Berry season started at the small farm two

weeks ago, and should continue through July. Meanwhile, at CanWest Farms at Blundell and Sidaway roads, blueberries began coming off the fields about a week ago—a little earlier than last year. “This weekend we’ll be in full production for berries,” said Humraj Kallu, operations manager at the 40-hectare operation. “As of right now, the volume looks promising.” CanWest sells to numerous markets, including Japan, and direct to customers at its East Richmond farm. The blueberry harvest will continue through the summer months, according to Kallu, who said the berries are the biggest he’s seen in recent years. The season for June-bearing strawberries also started early this year. Sales ended this week at W&A Farms in East Richmond, and longtime grower Bill Zylmans said the season was long—lasting five weekends this year compared to the usual three or four. “We had a phenomenal crop. Our berries looked extremely well, and the quality was great. The weather was a little bit of an issue, but that’s part of being in farming.”

Richmond cancels summer school as strike continues by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond School District has cancelled summer school courses and programs due to the teachers’ labour dispute, superintendent Monica Pamer announced Thursday. In a message posted on the district’s website, Pamer said cancelled

courses include Continuing Education’s academic full credit, academic remedial, enrichment, Richmond Virtual School and Distributed Learning, and summer camps for elementary students. “We realize this is disappointing news for the many students who were planning to enrol in these programs. Unfortunately our staff who deliver

these cannot participate if there are picket lines at our school sites.” A labour dispute between the B.C. Teachers’Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association also ended school early for students—and there appears to be no end in sight. A B.C. Supreme Court justice concluded this week that teachers and government are too far apart on wages and

working conditions for mediation to be effective. Pamer said the district shares parents’ disappointment, and said she hopes a negotiated settlement will be reached “as soon as possible.” The Labour Relations Board has ruled that summer school programs are essential only for students in grades 10 to 12 who failed a course

during the previous year and can’t take the course next year. Pamer said no Richmond students face that dilemma. “Our management staff has contacted the small number of students needing a course credit to graduate to ensure they are aware of other options available to them to give them the best possible chance for success.”

Record crowd for Salmon Fest Tens of thousands flock parade route to celebrate Canada’s birthday by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Tens of thousands of revellers crowded the streets of Steveston under the blazing sun Tuesday to take part in Canada’s biggest little birthday party. Early reports suggest this year’s Steveston Salmon Festival drew a record crowd—over 100,000, according to estimates—to the fishing village for the 69th annual Canada Day event. “It was a spectacular day from start to finish,” said Janice Froese, executive director of Steveston Community Society. Temperatures climbed to 27.5 C by midday, but spirits remained high despite the heat. Celebrations began with a pancake breakfast, followed by a morning citizenship cer-

emony, in which 40 people were sworn in as new Canadians. “It was thrilling,” said Froese. “I was just choked with emotion and pride as a Canadian to watch these 40 new people join our Canadian family.” A kids’ bicycle parade was first out of the gate on the Moncton Street parade route. The main parade—with 111 entries and 3,000 participants—followed. Salmon Fest staples were back this year, including the Japanese cultural show and children’s festival. New this year was a car show with an authentic NASCAR display, which proved popular. Traditional food offerings of wood-smoked salmon and chow mein sold out—many grabbing plates ahead of a 1 p.m. performance from the Canadian musical trio the Arrogant Worms. Froese said the festival is a result of hard work from hundreds of volunteers. “We worked really hard to try and provide attractions for everyone. I feel like we accomplished that again this year.” •See more photos on page 31 and at www. richmondreview.com.

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter It was an unusual sight—an impressive flotilla of classic and working ships—and thousands came to Steveston to see it this week. Ships to Shore Steveston 2014 wrapped up Tuesday with a bang, as a waterfront fireworks show ended a three-day event that drew an estimated 37,500 to view a range of vessels. “It was a big success. We had record crowds this year,” said Ted Townsend, spokesperson for the city, which organized the event. A popular draw this year was the colourful HMCS Oriole tall ship, along with two of the Navy’s Orcaclass patrol ships. “The Navy ships were very popular. There was a friendly competition between the two patrol boats and the Oriole as to who would get the most people,” said Townsend. A dozen other unique and historic ships—including the 41-metre schooner Adventuress—were also anchored at Imperial Landing and Britannia Shipyards. Townsend said crews were pleased with the response they received from the community. “They get more people through their boats here than they do at similar events in larger centres,” he said. “That’s why a number of these ships are willing to come back year after year.” The event’s final day coincided with the Steveston Salmon Festival, which also drew a record crowd and filled the fishing village. Evening fireworks could be seen anywhere along the Steveston waterfront—the first local Canada Day fireworks display in years. Townsend said there was some trepidation in bringing pyrotechnics back, but police reported no major problems, handling only a few liquor pour-outs and the odd “accessory firework.”

Mediation bid fails in teacher talks by Tom Fletcher Black Press A B.C. Supreme Court justice has concluded the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. government are too far apart on wages and working conditions for mediation to be effective. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association and the BCTF confirmed Wednesday that Justice Stephen Kelleher has taken part in “exploratory” talks in recent days to seek an end to the teacher strike that wiped out the last two weeks of the school year. “He had some exploratory discussions with the parties and determined that mediation is not indicated at this time,” said an agreed statement by both parties. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the BCTF’s total compensation demands are still more than twice what other government unions have settled for. The union’s benefit demands alone represent an additional $225 million a year, Fassbender said. Those include increases to preparation time, pregnancy and parental leave, extended health and dental and substitute teacher compensation. “There is no process and no mediator that can bridge this gap at this time,” Fassbender said. BCTF president Jim Iker said the government placed unacceptable pre-conditions on wage

negotiations going to mediation. “We will keep the lines of communication open in July to restart bargaining if the government is ready to make a real effort and

bring the necessary funding to the table,” he said. BCPSEA has proposed a 7% pay increase over six years, plus a $1,200 signing bonus with a deadline that expired

June 30. The BCTF has countered 8% over five years with a proposed $5,000 bonus, to make up for a year the union has worked under an expired contract.

t just got quicker to get around parts of British Columbia.

On Wednesday the provincial government announced new, higher speed limits on 35 sections of rural highways, with more promised for later in the summer. In total, drivers will be able to put their gas foot down a little harder on 1,300 kms of blacktop. The Ministry of Transport says serious crashes on provincial highways have decreased 28 per cent since 2003. Cars are safer, drivers have more technology and education at their disposal. Enforcement is better. While lead-footed drivers and owners of sports cars may celebrate the decision, not everyone is happy. The RCMP who patrol many of those highways and attend to the carnage that sometimes results from excessive speeding don’t like the new limits. ICBC is worried about safety and vows to monitor those stretches of highway with the new limits to see if there’s an effect on crash rates and severity. Truckers aren’t pleased with the new limits either. The B.C. Trucking Association says it will direct their drivers to stick to their current speed policies because the faster a fully loaded truck travels, the

longer it takes to stop. Also, the faster a truck moves, the more fuel it consumes. That money comes out of the pockets of truckers and, ultimately, consumers.

To alleviate safety concerns, the province has said it will adjust speed limits to weather conditions on some of those stretches of highway.

The numbers behind the oval

Daft changes to draft beer

Editor: Your June 27th edition supplement identified a profit of $3.69 million for the Oval Corporation. It did not identify the specific City of Richmond subsidies making that profit possible— property tax forgiven, grants, staff subsidies (?), no lease/mortgage costs, etc. The statement also claims the oval has been profitable every year except 2010. It does not acknowledge Richmond taxpayers making that possible. Good luck trying to find it in the annual statements for either the oval or City of Richmond. In comparison, privately operated fitness and sports facilities do pay taxes and operate at no cost to taxpayers. Imagine how profitable these businesses could be if forgiven property tax obligations! They also pay mortgage/lease costs etc. More than 20 per cent of the users of the oval are subsidized by Richmond taxpayers. When did this become a civic responsibility? A single oval total cost/ benefit number (transparency) would be appreciated and respectful of Richmond taxpayers instead of the current spin standards. Ken McLennan Richmond

Editor: Recently the Liberal government and the liquor commission headed by MLA John Yap made several changes to the liquor act. Most of these made sense, but one did not—minimum pricing per ounce on beer, wine and liquor. One of these changes is up to 25¢ per ounce on draft beer—this doesn’t make sense. For example in the pub where I visit the price of draft sold for $4.75 including tax before the change. As I understand it they will now be forced to raise it to $5.00 plus 75¢ tax a new cost of $5.75 or $1 more per pint. Happy hour on draft—what a joke: they would now have to raise it to $6.25 a pint to reduce it by 50¢ at happy hour. This same scenario applies to many formerly reasonably-priced establishments, such as some pubs and veterans clubs. This will have a huge effect on pensioners, people on fixed income, and veterans, many of these people supported the Liberal government in past elections and I am sure many will be reassessing this choice. What happened to free enterprise? What’s next—a minimum price on hamburgers because they are considered unhealthy? Surely the government will take a second look at these changes as it applies to draft beer. Jim Wilson Richmond

Recycle TVs, don’t dump them Editor: I am writing to the owner of an old TV who evidently mistook the flower garden outside our Steveston office for an electronics recycling depot. This individual’s lack of knowledge of B.C.’s free electronics recycling program is second only to their lack of respect for our landlord, his property, and this community. The recycling depot staff just minutes away on Trites Road are friendly, work long hours, and love to recycle TVs. Dumping old TVs and other garbage on other people’s property is an act without class or conscience. Adrian Wade Steveston

Too many monstrosities Editor: Re: “Time for a moratorium on three-storey houses in Westwind area,” Letters, June 27. I think letter writer Joel Berman’s point regarding a design and usage review is well made and should be expanded to other areas of Richmond and beyond the three-storey houses to include the huge houses being erected on almost the entire lot that are cropping up all over the city. What ever happened to the mandatory set-

Too many drivers already treat speed limits as a suggestion, rather than law. Now their threshold has just been raised. —Black Press

backs from the road/sidewalk we used to have? Many of these new houses are monstrosities with stone walls, gates, concrete or paving stone front yards leaving little, or no, areas of grass or landscaping. They dwarf the neighbouring houses and are changing the neighbourhoods, and not for the better. Where we used to see trees,flowers and shrubs, now we see walls, three or four car garages, and paving stones! I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Berman’s request for a comprehensive urban planning review, and urge that it be done before we are a city of monster houses and driveways. I have lived in Richmond since 1971 and am sad to see what we had disappearing, and not so slowly. I understand that change, and progress, are both necessary, and support both, but not at the cost we are now paying in our lovely neighbourhoods. Arny Abramson Richmond

No such thing as settle science Editor: Re: “Ottawa flip flops on science,” Editorial, July 2. Indeed facts can be problematic—perhaps you would care to identify the Harper agenda you refer to amongst other things and, if you were to look at the topic in the cold light of day, scientific research continues to be decidedly selective in their choice of statistics to support their findings which problematic at best. Need I remind you that there is no such thing as “settled science” as all too many, obviously including yourselves, would have us believe. Your closing paragraph “If we don’t know how mismanaged and mistreated the environment is, then we won’t have to lie awake worrying”—what drivel—believe the only thing keeping you awake at nights is dreaming up more hyperbole in support of the Black Press agenda.

Better Grades Happier Kids

Another neighbourhood may soon be destroyed Editor; Re: Moratorium in Westwind, Letters, June 27. Kudos to Joel Berman for an excellent letter about inappropriate development in established neighbourhoods. The house he refers to in Westwind is not the first example of “irresponsible predatory practises resulting in destroying a neighbourhood” and unfortunately will not be the last. A proposed development slated for the former Gulf and Fraser Credit Union site on Chatham Street at Third Avenue in Steveston is another case in point. The design put forward, and already accepted by Richmond’s planning committee for a rezoning hearing, is a massive three-storey structure housing 10 residences over ground level commercial space, which is a major intrusion in a block of single family homes. By allowing the developer to construct an oversized building by paying for a totally unnecessary increase

in density, Richmond gains a few hundred thousand dollars, but the neighbours lose their sunlight and their privacy, and the neighbourhood loses its character and appeal. The building, which will require a variance since it is above the allowable height limit, will overshadow all the surrounding yards, but our elected officials, none of whom live adjacent to the proposed building, seem quite prepared to yield to the developer’s wishes rather than consider the best interests of the neighbourhood. The suggestion by the developer that the building will “transition” from the commercial village on Moncton Street to the residential neighbourhood is totally ludicrous since it will be taller than anything around it. Unless a considerable number of people oppose this proposal at the rezoning hearing, we will have another neighbourhood destroyed. Ralph and Edith Turner Richmond

Steveston interchange is a mess Editor: Over the past few years, the City of Richmond has not kept up with road-stewardship. Arterial roads are poorly managing the influx of drivers from the density afforded by numerous new condos and townhome developments. One frustrating case is eastbound Steveston Highway, immediately east of No. 5 Road. The Highway 99 south traffic, lining up for the Massey Tunnel, occupies the right lane and can sometimes extend onto Steveston Highway. To avoid this long queue, many drivers cut into the exiting traffic by stopping in the left lane—a Richmond driver’s favourite activity, second only to driving slowly in the left lane. This backs up traffic and prevents drivers from accessing the Highway 99 north exit and/or moving along Steveston highway towards Riverport/No. 6 Road. It is time the City of Richmond stepped up and took action at this horrendous stretch of road. Sanjiv Khangura Richmond

CORNER OF BLUNDELL AND SIDAWAY (look for the red barn) RICHMOND, BC Kathryn Nickford photo Baritone Riley McMitchell and soprano Robin EderWarren star in a new production of Menotti’s The Telephone.

Opera singers ring in season finale with ‘The Telephone’ Opera Mariposa presents four performances of opera, along with a concert of English arias

Richmond singer will take centre stage in a new production of Menotti’s The Telephone at Marpole United Church next week.

Opera Mariposa, an opera company for young artists, will stage the one-act opera in English alongside a concert of Englishlanguage arias, and will star local soprano Robin Eder-Warren. The Telephone tells the story of a lovelorn man desperate to propose to the woman he adores, and the incessantly ringing phone that foils his every attempt. The production marks the end of Opera Mariposa’s second season. Eder-Warren, 22, said the accompanying concert will feature a

different performer for each song. “The English-language repertoire is so diverse, and we’re thrilled to celebrate it with selections from Gilbert and Sullivan’s Pirates of Penzance, Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, Leonard Bernstein’s Candide, Kurt Weill’s Street Scene and…even a hilarious operatic moment from Spamalot,” she said. The opera will be directed by baritone Jason Cook, and will feature two casts. Eder-Warren will perform as Lucy on the July 12 matinee and on July 13—sharing her role with soprano Allison Cociani—and sing in the concert portion for all four performances. Other singers include soprano Jacqueline Ko, and acclaimed baritones Riley McMitchell and Ed Moran. The comic opera runs July 11 to 13 at 7:30 p.m., along with a 2 p.m. show July 12, at Marpole United Church, 1296 West 67th Ave. in Vancouver. Tickets are $15 to $22, available at the door, operamariposa.com or from Brown Paper Tickets at 1-800-838-3006.

Public Transportation Becomes a Political Priority

THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca

Cedric Hughes

Barrister & Solicitor

n early March 2014, Metro Vancouver residents were facing the prospect of having to choose in a referendum at municipal election time this coming fall between various options for public transit flowing from a defined regional transportation plan. There was, however, a very basic problem: the ‘plan’ definition was up in the air, as was the responsibility for it and the public transit options it generated. The mayors of the 21 various regional municipalities wanted greater involvement in the process, challenging the role of Translink, the government-created authority responsible for Metro Vancouver’s regional transportation network, and hence the presumptive generator of the plan and the referendum options. BC’s Minister of Transportation responded by increasing mayoral authority over Translink’s long-term strategies, and by setting June 30, 2014 as the deadline for the mayors’ council to define its plan. With deadline time upon us, it’s time to look at what progress, if any, has been made in the past four months. In mid-June, the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation Investments issued a 10-year, 7.5-billion-dollar plan, the main elements of which are—“…neither everything we want nor all that we ultimately need….”: a new Pattullo Bridge, a new subway line along the Broadway corridor, a new LRT line in Surrey and Langley, upgrades to the existing rapidtransit lines, seabus service improvements, and bus service improvements. Funding should

come from senior levels of government, a 50% share of the BC carbon tax, tolls, ‘mobility pricing’ and possible fare increases. The province’s reaction was a prompt and definite ‘no’ to funding via a greater share of the carbon tax. (Most media reports pointed out that the provincial carbon tax was implemented in July 2008 for the purpose of reducing our carbon footprint and hence our car usage. Funding transit expansion would seem to have been an obvious use but, almost immediately, said Gary Mason in the Globe & Mail Newspaper, “that money ended up going into that deep, dark hole in Victoria known as general revenue.”) But the Transportation Minister agreed to at least listen to the idea of funding via an additional regional carbon tax. Now the Mayor’s Council is facing the prospect of seeking referendum approval of a second carbon tax. (As Mr. Mason opined, “Good luck with that. In fact, good luck with the entire referendum.”) The “mobility pricing” source of funding has been called “politically courageous.” The Globe & Mail noted that, while not well defined, the principles “are clear enough,” and that the stated goal of reducing commuting distances by 24 per cent by 2045 largely by introducing time- and distance-based road tolls was a lead that other Canadian cities should follow. As of the end of June the following decisions have been made, and the following questions remain: The referendum will not be held coincident with the November civic elections, and if it goes ahead, this will be in early spring 2015. The Mayors’ Council needs to know whether or not the Provincial government will approve a referendum question seeking approval for multiple funding sources. …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

From Page 10 Legally Blonde opened on Broadway in 2007, years after the 2001 release of the popular like-named film starring Reese Witherspoon. The Broadway production enjoyed 538 performances before going on tour. And in its relatively short life, the musical has proven a hit with audiences for its music, colour and smart script that’s centred around a woman much deeper than her appearance lets on. “On the surface she’s your stereotypical dumb blond sorority girl. But she’s really not. In my research for the character, she actually gets a 175 on her LSAT (Law School Admission Test), which is actually a really good score. I looked it up,” said Gauthier. “She’s actually very pragmatic, she’s very savvy, and she’s very kind.”

The 9-speed automatic shifts quickly and smoothly, in fact I forgot it had so many cogs but it does improve fuel economy with a highway rating of 6.4L/100km with the 4-cylinder and 7.0L with the V6. Most Canadians will opt for the AWD versions thanks to our winter conditions, but here too there are more choices. Jeep has included three AWD systems. The first is a called Active Drive 1 with a selectable drive mode called Select-Terrain, for automatic, snow, mud and sand settings. The second is called Active Drive 2 and offers a two-speed mode for low speed crawling. The most aggressive system is Active Drive Lock, which comes in the off-road purpose-built Cherokee called Trailhawk. The Trailhawk is a ‘real’ Jeep; this is thanks to a locking rear differential and a host of electronic aids. The most impressive feature is the low speed crawling mode for both up and down hill tasks. Therefore, Jeep purists, yes there is a Cherokee for you. Verdict This new Cherokee is off to a fantastic start. Sales are strong and the sharp design is bringing in buyers, not shoving them away. The 2014 Cherokee could not be further away from the last model; this is a thoroughly modern SUV with go-anywhere capability and aroundtown refinement that needs to be experienced. The Lowdown Power: 184hp 2.4L 4-cylinder, and 271hp 3.2L V6. Fill-up: 9.9L/7.0L/100km (city/highway AWD) Sticker price: $23,695-$32,195

Question of the Week There is talk in Greater Vancouver of introducing a regional carbon tax to fund transit and highway initiatives. Should such a tax be extended B.C.-wide to help fund much needed transport infrastructure throughout the rest of the province? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: With summer in full swing, remember that if your activities will involve alcohol, make the smart choice: choose a designated driver before going out and plan to get home safe. Share the responsibility of being a designated driver; have you taken a turn recently?

During the competition, the 20-yearold sang “Popular” from the musical Wicked. Pageant director Darren Storsley said in a news release the event “is about finding role models for B.C. women.” “As a result, the judges are looking for well-spoken, well-rounded, intelligent and outgoing—like Taylor.” Judges also selected winners for the 2014 Mrs. B.C. and Miss Teen B.C. titles among 50 competitors at the 310-seat theatre.

We are grateful to the many corporations, organizations, volunteers, parent advisory councils (PAC), school administrations and individuals who made it possible for DRY AFTER GRAD events to take place this year. Parentsponsored/chaperoned parties were held at H.J. Cambie, J.N. Burnett, Richmond Bethel Church-Joe’s Place (Matthew McNair), A.R. MacNeill, R.A. McMath, Hugh McRoberts, Richmond Secondary & Steveston-London. The graduates were guaranteed a safe and fun environment to celebrate after hours. Private & corporate donors, event volunteers, family/friends who supported our fundraisers or offered help in other meaningful ways showed a great spirit of community. With awareness and commitment, we can reduce the risk of our youth being involved in deadly drinking and driving accidents during the graduation season.

The future of Canadian soccer will be on display tonight in Richmond when the under-20 women’s national team faces the provincial under-15 boys’ team in an exhibition tilt at Minoru Oval. Kickoff is 7 p.m. Following the opening ceremonies of the Les Sinnott Memorial Boys’ Provincial B Cup, on through Sunday at Minoru and Hugh Boyd parks, the feature match will provide an opportunity to see some of the best young players in the country—some of whom will go on to play for Canada’s senior squads. “With the U20 World Cup coming up soon, it’s an opportunity for the ladies to play in front of an appreciative soccer audience and for young fans to get some autographs,” says Clive Clarke, who, as a member of the Richmond Girls’ Soccer Association board, arranged the match for the local organizing committee. “It will be a good match for the ladies to be challenged by top-level strength and quickness, while the boys will also benefit from playing a ladies’ team that is skilled and plays the ball well.” Coached by Andrew Olivieri, the women’s national squad—which is tuning up for World Cup matches next month in Edmonton, Moncton, Montreal and Toronto—features a lineup that includes three B.C. players: Chelseay Harkins, Sessen Stevens and Emma Fletcher, the latter a high-scoring midfielder from Victoria who is coming off strong freshman season at Louisiana State University where she teamed with Richmond’s Summer Clarke to power the Tigers’ offence. “Emma is very quick and agile and an attack-minded midfielder,” said Clive Clarke. Youth teams from throughout the province are competing at the Les Sinnott Memorial Boys’ Provincial B Cup for top honours at the under-13, under-14, under-15, under-16, under-17 and under-18 age groups. Richmond has teams entered in each division—Athletics (U13), Seair (U14), Lightning (U15), Athletics (U16), Gunners (U17) and Athletics (U18). Fresh off their Major League Soccer match versus Seattle Sounders, Vancouver Whitecaps FC are expected to make a special appearance at the championship Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to noon where a player will be on hand for photos and to sign autographs.

Fastpitch invitational double fun for Shields Stealers edge A’s in all-Richmond final at Mt. Vernon invitational by Don Fennell Sports Editor The 17th version of the Big Rock Men’s Fastpitch Invitational last weekend in Mount Vernon, Wash. proved doubly delightful for Marshall Shields. Wearing two hats as manager of both the Richmond Junior Athletics and Stealers, Shields relinquished the latter for one game Sunday after both teams made the tournament final. Then in the championship game, his two boys exchanged home runs— for opposing teams—as the Stealers overcame a 4-0 first-inning deficit to defeat the Athletics 8-6.

Ryan Shields connected on a massive 300-foot shot off Stealers’ starting pitcher Darren Strang in the second inning, his brother-in-law James Spooner cleared the fence with a third-inning offering. “It was a family affair,” laughed Marshall, who after filling out both lineup cards surrendered control of the Stealers’ dugout to Strang to focus on managing the under-19 Athletics. Though he gave up a home run to Jake Doyle on the game’s opening pitch and two more first-inning singles to the Athletics, and additional runs in the second and fifth innings, the victory ensured Strang had the last laugh. The young Athletics reached the final with a come-from-behind victory over their own in the semifinals, defeating Seattle Inter Door 6-5. Doyle also delivered a home run in that game, the deciding score being set up by a pair of back-to-back singles by Tyler Mackoff and Michael

FIFTEENTH ANNUAL

Hicks in the bottom of the seventh inning. The Athletics had trailed 5-1 going into the inning. Midget-aged sensation Brandon Donegan pitched three games for the Athletics and also had three homers in the invitational. His play, and that of his teammates, drew much praise from opponents. “The other clubs were so impressive with how well the boys played,” said Marshall. “It’s a credit to the Richmond boys’ program.” The Stealers are slated to be back in action Tuesday against Team Canada’s under-19 squad—featuring Ryan Shields and Jake Doyle—in an exhibition game at Steveston Park. First pitch is 7 p.m. Team Canada will also square off against the Richmond Mariners at 8:30 p.m. On Monday, Richmond Canadians and Richmond Mariners will play back-to-back games against New Zealand’s under-19 national men’s fastpitch team at 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.

Danton Heinen has joined the bears. The former Richmond Sockeye, who as a rookie was instrumental in leading the team to the Pacific Junior Hockey League championship in the 2012-13 season, was selected in the fourth round (116th overall) of the National Hockey League Entry Draft Saturday by the Boston Bruins. Captain of the Surrey Eagles last season, Heinen,18, scored both goals for the Sockeyes in their game-clinching victory over Aldergrove Kodiaks in

Richmond’s playoff final sweep. The Sockeyes went on to win both the Cyclone Taylor (provincial) and Keystone Cup (Western Canadian) championships as well. Heinen scored 21 goals and 49 points in 43 games as a rookie with the Sockeyes in 2012-13; third best on the team. He added six goals and 14 points in the PIJHL playoffs. He had 29 goals and 61 points in 57 regularseason games for the Eagles in 201314 and two goals and seven points in six playoff games. Heinen will play for University of Denver Pioneers next season.

Appealing to the younger buyer at PortLiving’s Midtown In Metro Vancouver’s thriving housing market, the younger buyer is an important piece of the puzzle, and PortLiving’s Midtown development in Mount Pleasant is a project that is hitting all the right notes for that demographic. “Some neighbourhoods are more appealing to a younger buyer,” says Tobi Reyes, founder of PortLiving. “Mount Pleasant is one of those.” Midtown is a low-rise mixed-used condominium development that is focusing on being both sustainable and

connected. “There’s a lot of heritage in this area,” Reyes says. “We wanted to add to this existing community, not change it. It’s all about getting the vibe of the neighbourhood.” PortLiving conducted the Midtown Experiment earlier this year, allowing businesses to open a pop-up shop for a week to gauge how popular they would be for local residents. Among the requests they had was a coffee shop and a microbrewery. “The sense of identity in the context of a neighbourhood

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

is important to people,” Reyes says. “This area is a bit underserved and a bit overlooked. We wanted to create a sense of community.” The homes themselves are also appealing to a younger buyer, whether they are first-time homeowners or those looking to upgrade from their current place. Among the features are larger covered patios and a shared communal courtyard to encourage mingling with your neighbours. Homeowners will also have access to bazinga!, a social network that connects you with your neighbours, property manager and the developer, as well as a place to keep documents such as warranties and appliance manuals organized. Eco-conscious living is top of mind at Midtown, and homeowners can be part of that with the One Earth Eco Strata Guide, which will offer sustainable living tips for buyers. Reyes is also the director and co-founder of One Earth, so sustainability is extremely important to him. “The buyer support and community support has been really encouraging,” he says.

The homes at Misson Group Homes’ Secret Ridge are spacious and elegant, with plenty of natural light, custom wood shaker cabinetry in the kitchen, above, luxurious bathrooms, top right, and tons of space for entertaining or relaxing.

A hidden gem is found at Secret Ridge By Kerry Vital

Secret Ridge, built by Mission Group Homes on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain, is no longer a secret due to its amazing location, stunning homes and large floorplans. “You won’t find this anywhere else in Metro Vancouver,” says sales manager Barbara Hughes. “They feel like single-family homes, without the maintenance and upkeep.” The duplex homes, which Mission Group calls “paired homes” and which are more than double the size of a usual townhome, have already garnered an extremely positive response. The project is over 75 per cent sold, and Hughes notes that the location is one of the biggest draws. “It’s a beautiful setting,” she says. “There’s no one near you, so it feels incredibly private.” Secret Ridge is situated within the Foothills at Burke Mountain community, and bordered by East and West Smiling Creek, making your new home feel like it’s a part of nature. “This a really unique product offering in a beautiful, growing community,” says JoAnne Adamson, director of sales at Mission Group. “It’s an ideal location; there’s no one else offering this kind of opportunity.”

Craftsman-style architecture lends itself to great curb appeal, along with spacious southfacing covered decks and patios, double-wide attached garages and painted wooden fences surrounding each yard. Inside, rich wood laminate flooring throughout the main living areas and soaring vaulted ceilings (with many up to 17 feet) on the main floor welcome you home. The gourmet kitchen includes custom wood shaker cabinetry, complemented by double thick polished granite countertops with a full-height mosaic tiled backsplash, an expansive kitchen island and undercabinet lighting for extra illumination while you cook. Homeowners can choose Kitchen Aid stainless-steel appliances as an optional upgrade. Luxurious bathrooms are another feature of Secret Ridge. All of them include custom wood shaker cabinetry, with the master ensuite going above and beyond with their own double thick granite countertops and large format polished porcelain tile flooring. The main bathroom and secondary ensuite (depending on floor plan) have square-edge laminate countertops, a full-width vanity mirror and a soaker tub and/or full height shower with a gorgeous tile surround. The master-on-main floorplans have been appealing to downsizers and young families alike, Hughes says. One of the floorplans actually has two master suites; one on the main floor and one on the upper floor. “It works well for people who have family living with them,” Hughes says. “It’s very

appealing that way.” Because the homes are paired with another one, all of them are prime corner homes, and have been built wider than any other home in the area. “I can’t stress enough how large these homes feel,” Hughes says. “ Homeowners at Secret Ridge are within easy driving distance to everything the Tri Cities have to offer, including dining,

shopping, leisure opportunities and excellent schools. Burke Mountain itself is steadily growing, with its own restaurants, retail opportunities, trails and schools. Remaining homes at Secret Ridge start at $669,900. For more information, visit www. secretridge.ca, call 604-916-8805 or stop by the display home at #105-3458 Burke Village Promenade, open Saturday to Wednesday between noon and 5 p.m.

Emily de Boer is again displaying her athletic prowess— this time in the pool. Captain of her soccer team and co-captain of her hockey team prior to a 2011 surgery in which she lost the use of her legs following a surgical attempt to correct a spine curvature, de Boer shone in her first career swim meet with the Richmond Rapids at the recent West Coast Open at Watermania. She made the qualifying standard to compete at this year’s Can-Ams—a paraswimming-focused event with top-level teams from all over the world—starting Dec. 14 in Edmonton. de Boer achieved the time standard in the 100-metre breaststroke, while also achieving the time standards for this weekend’s provincial championships in Victoria in both the 100-metre breaststroke and 100-metre backstroke.

rigorous, multi-step process, de Boer had actually been training for three seasons before she was able to post a sanctioned time, said Drew McClure, head assistant coach of the Rapids. These performances marked de Boer for participation in B.C.-wide programs. She was invited to attend a provincial camp, which included both provincial and national team head coaches, and a group of her fellow B.C. athletes. de Boer will join 45 of her Rapids teammates in Victoria; her first championship meet. “This marks one of the largest groups of swimmers that has ever represented the Rapids at provincials,” said McClure. “It bodes well, as the Rapids look to repeat their championship-winning performance from short-course provincials.” Live results for the meet will be available at richmond rapids.com. de Boer will also compete for Fraser River-Delta Zone 4 at the B.C.
