Fraser flood risks threaten economy Business groups back urgent action on flood works by Jeff Nagel Black Press A new report underscores the Fraser River’s importance to the Lower Mainland economy and calls for an urgent program of dredging and other flood prevention measures, as well as upgrades to critical infrastructure. Commissioned by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with other chambers in the region, the study warns the region escaped a very close call in 2007. “The river came perilously close to overtopping the dikes in the Fraser Valley during the spring freshet,” says the report, which was released yesterday. It cites estimates that another flood rivaling the record flood of 1894 would cause tens of billions of dollars in damage and catastrophic losses for the 300,000 residents of the floodplain, as well as business and industry. Unlike the sparsely populated farmland of 120 years ago, there is now $50 billion worth of development on the Fraser’s floodplain. “Failure to deal expeditiously with this problem will leave a large part of the Lower Mainland at risk of enormous damage.” The study comes a few days after new provincial government studies projected major floods will be more frequent and severe as a result of climate change, and warned most dikes in the Fraser Valley are not high enough. The new research on the influence of climate change and the severe flooding in Calgary and Toronto last year“highlighted the need to act urgently to enhance flood protection along the Lower Fraser,”according to the report released by the business groups. It notes estimates of $9.5 billion in spending needed in Metro Vancouver to adapt to an expected rise in sea level.
Facing the challenges posed by the river is made more difficult by the fragmented governance of the region, the report said, noting there are 15 municipal governments, 29 first nations and more than 20 provincial or federal ministries involved in administration of the river. “The current costs just for diking upgrades for the tidal areas of the river and for adjacent coastal reaches required by 2100 are in range of $9 billion,” said the Richmond Chamber of Commerce’s Matt Pitcairn, who co-authored the report. “Damage from a major dike failure could be in the tens of billions of dollars, with very serious effects on the economy of this region, British Columbia, and all of Canada due to the impact on the transportation of goods and services.” Gerard Edwards, chair of the Richmond chamber, noted that some of the largest employers and businesses in Richmond occupy the banks of the Fraser River, “such as the Vancouver Airport Authority, the Steveston Harbour Authority, and Port Metro Vancouver.” Meanwhile, a broad coalition of local and senior governments and other interests have joined forces to craft a co-ordinated strategy to safeguard the Lower Mainland from a catastrophic flood. The Lower Mainland Flood Management Strategy aims to pull together an action plan with costs within two years to begin the process of raising dikes and improving other flood defences in the years ahead. It’s unclear how the billions of dollars in needed work will be raised but advocates hope a regional approach will prove more logical than leaving individual municipalities to work in isolation on flood planning and lobbying for grants. The initiative led by the Fraser Basin Council was announced Tuesday and will focus on the risk of Fraser River flooding and coastal flooding from winter storm surges, which are expected to be amplified by a rising sea level. •For more details on this story, see richmondreview.com

Three of the seven personas Vjeko Sager will take in his diviNation Tower project during Your Kontinent Film & Media Arts Festival, which launches tomorrow.
Your Kontinent festival has towering ideas Artist Vjeko Sager to live in a diviNation Tower during 10-day Richmond festival by Glenda Bartosh Contributor A huge aspect of any expressive undertaking that most people — even artists themselves — often overlook is the creative process itself. What ideas do you use when you create something? What ideas do you discard? Will you express yourself with words? Dance? Paint or charcoal? Do you want your piece to last forever? Or disappear like a sandcastle at the shore? Every year Richmond’s Your Kontinent Film & Media Arts Festival, explores a dynamic new theme, and every year the festival highlights an artist whose practice has contributed significantly to media arts in Canada. This year’s theme asks questions about the interface between being human, art and technology, and this year’s featured artist, Vjeko Sager, is tackling it head on by demonstrating his own creative process and expression, live and in real time from the top of diviNation Tower, a 30-foot tower he’s built in front of the Richmond Cultural Centre. A powerful multi-media artist with international reach, Sager earned his master’s in Applied Arts at the University of Belgrade; his drawings are in collections around the world, including the Drawing Center in New York and
the Museum of Modern Art; he curated CBC Studio’s Art in Exile; plus he’s been featured in Vancouver’s PuSh Festival and Paul Wong’s engaging Thru the Trapdoor Part reality TV, part anthropological study of the creative process, Sager’s project is centred on living and creating on top of his tower 12 hours a day for seven consecutive days — no matter what the weather. During that time, live streaming will connect him to our everyday world below, just like webcams connect us to those other-worldly events like baby eagles hatching or astronauts floating in space. In this case, our subject will be pondering, drawing and creating non-stop using a wide range of media while documenting his creative process and responding to real-time input on his work via tweets and blogs. “I’m using my hand to write and draw, and I’m using my phone to make recordings, videos, photos. I’m using a computer. I’m using my fingers to draw in the sand — everything which allows me to become creative is my tool,” he says. “I don’t find computers any different than making marks in the sand.” Each day of the week-long creative journey, Sager will assume a different persona — from a techno geek and ordinary guy to a rebel/ anarchist, a philosopher and a spiritual person. About 60 per cent of his project will be curated; 40 per cent will be shaped by his viewers and audience. Each persona will determine the clothes he wears, the food he eats, the nature of the artwork he produces, and the media he chooses to create it with. It all symbolizes “how an ordinary person who uses technology learns, evolves and
Your Kontinent •Presented by Cinevolution Media Arts Society and the City of Richmond, Your Kontinent takes place at Richmond Cultural Centre July 17 to July 26. •Now in its fourth year, the festival will showcase over 40 international films, media art installations and performances, workshops, discussions and summer camps for youth. •Among the first special events is Theatre Under the Sky, a drive-in style family-friendly event at Lansdowne Centre’s parking lot July 18 from 6:30 to 11:30 p.m. featuring the screening of the animated film Spirited Away. •For tickets to events, including festival passes, visit ykfestival.ca.
is transformed by the psychological, philosophical, physical and mental work of creating,” a considered theme in his art practice and teaching. Sager, who’s taught at Arts Umbrella and Vancouver’s International Children’s Festival, is currently an instructor at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. What is the truth of things vs. what it seems to be? What will a post-digital age be like? These are the kinds of questions Sager will explore. Another aspect of Sager’s diviNation Tower demonstrates that creativity is rooted in the
idea of playing and just being free. “When we think about games, they all have rules. We can win or lose,” he says. “But with play there are no rules. I think creativity is playful, without any boundaries or any rules. When you start playing in the sand, you don’t expect to have end results. It’s going to vanish the next day.” “…Probably that’s one of the reasons we are scared of creativity, because we expect a finished product. For kids it’s very, very important to remove the fear of finishing anything.” diviNation also speaks to solitude. It’s inspired partly by a dream Sager has had since childhood to be a solitary lighthouse keeper, and partly by the stylites — saints and ascetics of the ancient world who lived atop pillars to transcend the ordinary world. (One stylite in Syria lived on his pillar for 37 years!) It also echoes a broadcast tower, one sending out messages on creativity. “When I was a boy, I had my world and I enjoyed it immensely,” he says. “If I was not alone daily I would really suffer as a person. “I’m sorry to say but sometimes in our society, aloneness and solitude are treated as a negative. But that is the most wonderful human aspect because if we cannot be alone, we cannot be human,” he says. In fact, he believes one side of our personality, the creative side, needs to be isolated to incubate ideas, so they can carefully grow, protected, “until they gain some force, some life of their own, and then they become public.” Check out more details of DiviNation Tower at: http://ykfestival.ca/event/divination-tower.

Restaurant chain eyes Bridgeport
Rail police seek ‘person of interest’
Sex offender leaves Richmond: RCMP
Pirate Paks are replacing Billy bookcases on Sweden Way. White Spot has leased one of two spaces in a new building planned for a portion of IKEA’s old site at 3200 Sweden Way, which fronts Bridgeport Road. According to a Colliers International listing, the restaurant chain has leased a location at 3200 Sweden Way, and an adjacent 3,600-squarefoot space is still available for retail lease. A development permit application for the restaurant is under review at Richmond City Hall. White Spot, founded 86 years ago, is headquartered in Vancouver. The restaurant chain has 128 White Spot and Triple O’s locations throughout B.C., Alberta and Asia. IKEA moved to a new location on Jacombs Road in 2012, and its former location was demolished. —Matthew Hoekstra
Canadian Pacific Police Service issued a plea for help Monday in identifying a person it believes is responsible for a fire on the Marpole Railway Bridge. The span, which connects Richmond to Vancouver, caught fire at about 4:45 p.m. on July 9. Heavy smoke from the blaze forced the temporary closure of the parallel Oak Street Bridge. Police want to speak to “a person of interest” seen leaving the area just after the fire started, according to a news release. Police are also asking for any witnesses, including any who may have taken photographs of the fire scene. Anyone with information is asked to call Canadian Pacific Police Service at 1-800-7169132, or anonymously through
A sex offender who was the subject of an RCMP warning to the public and was living in Richmond, has now been relocated out of the city, local Mounties revealed on Tuesday. On June 27, Richmond RCMP announced that Kosta Tsekouras, 32, was released on strict conditions, including that he must stay away from children, not attend parks, public pools, playgrounds, schools or daycares and not to engage in any activity with anyone under the age of 16. Tsekouras, who has dark hair and stands six foot three and weighs about 220 pounds, was released on a peace bond for incidents dating back to 2010. He was subsequently found to have breached his conditions and was sent to jail for six months. On Tuesday, Richmond RCMP Cpl. Stephanie Ashton said Tsekouras has “now been relocated out of Richmond.” Ashton added that Tsekouras “continues to require an escort when out in the community.” —Martin van den Hemel

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond’s largest residential project marked another milestone Tuesday afternoon, as project and city officials celebrated a pair of art projects that form part of the first phase of the $1.7-billion development. Aspac Developments Ltd. officially unveiled two works of art integrated into the upscale Oval Village high-rise community known as River Green. Jacqueline Metz and Nancy Chew designed a 27-metre pedestrian bridge titled stillness & motion, which links two towers. The artists adopted Richmond’s great blue heron as a focal point for the work, which blends a glass facade of the bridge with a translucent video of herons at rest. “We were inspired by the nature of Richmond, and specifically the iconic bird: the great blue heron,â€? said Chew. “From the outside it’s kind of abstract, but from the inside you’re walking next to the‌ herons. They’re life size.â€? At night—until 10 p.m. now—it has another life, with a slow looping video projection of a heron. Developers in Richmond have the option of contributing cash to the city’s public art fund, or incorporating artwork directly into their projects. Doing that, said Metz, makes a development more personal and intimate. “It’s kind of given it an

identity, or personality,� she said. A second piece comes from renowned Coast Salish artist Susan Point and son Thomas Cannell, who designed Fish Trap Way: a four-part installation that represents spawning salmon and their importance to the Musqueam people. John Ryan, vice-president of development for Aspac, said River Green’s first phase of 458 homes is complete and approximately 80 per cent sold. The firm is now in the development permit stage for Phase 2, which is east of the Richmond Olympic Oval. Those two towers will add another 173 homes to the neighbourhood— along with more public art. “We expect to break ground in March of 2015,� said Ryan, who said a date for the sales launch has yet to be set. “We’re working with the city on a new park right on the waterfront, which will have a pier. We’re looking at how to integrate some of our public art onto the waterfront park.� River Green is expected to comprise approximately 2,500 homes when completed in 15 to 18 years, said Ryan.

EDITORIAL: Before the flood
T
wo announcements yesterday underlined just how important the Fraser River is to the local economy and why it’s vital more steps be taken to prevent flooding. A new report commissioned by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with other chambers in the region, warns a massive flood would cause tens of billions of dollars in damage and catastrophic losses for the 300,000 residents of the floodplain, as well as business and industry. As well, the Lower Mainland Flood Management Strategy wants an action plan to begin the process of raising dikes and improving other flood defences in the years ahead. Saskatchewan and Manitoba were recently hit with severe flooding and it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley could see flood damage in the future. In fact, recent studies by the province project that major floods will be more frequent and severe as a result of climate change. Richmond, being below sea level to begin with, already has an extensive diking system. However, with global weather patterns taking a turn to the extreme in recent years, cities on floodplains cannot take flooding for granted. Look at what happened in Calgary and many parts of normally dry Alberta last year, when the Bow River swelled past its banks. While Richmond may be prepared for flooding, many dikes in the Fraser Valley are not high enough. But if Fraser Valley dikes are strengthened, that means more water will be being directed at Richmond. That’s why a co-ordinated strategy is essential.
A blueprint for deliberate, planned upgrades would aim to avoid a repeat of 2007, when the Fraser threatened to flood and politicians frantically dispatched hundreds of dump trucks to raise dikes as an emergency action.
It’s good that business groups and government are taking a proactive approach at a potential future risk. Let’s hope senior governments put their money where there mouths are in doing upgrades now, rather than throwing money at cleaning up a disaster zone in the future.

‘W
hat’s up, guys?” the vole seems to wonder as he pokes his head out of the Lulu Island Bog in the cartoon. The chance to colour it was a hit
at the Salmon Festival, so Garden City Conservation’s Michael Wolfe and Eldon Lin are adapting the activity for a free David Suzuki Foundation family event. It’s at the Britannia Shipyards site this Sunday, 1–3 pm, and the “Bog Life” part is for “kids from one to 92” and beyond. The cartoon will prompt Michael to share insights, since he loves the sphagnum bog and loves teaching. The event will kick off a farreaching campaign for the human right to a healthy environment. The campaign is starting at the local level, and the aim is for Richmond to be a model for the communities of Canada. The Garden City Conservation board has strongly endorsed it. The first need is for broader awareness—leading toward commitment—about the right to a healthy environment. With council action, the right could become a guiding principle. After two or three years to build locally and provincially, it might be time to include the right in Canada’s constitution. Support across the country could actually
make that feasible. I was curious how a constitutional right to a healthy environment might work in practice. I found that half the national constitutions of the world already state that right, and three-quarters state some environmental rights. Canada, which has yet to act, can glean the best of their experience. Canada’s right to a healthy environment, like other human rights, is sure to include limits to enforcement. And it will have to be moderate to survive the tough formula for amending our constitution. I also see the right as a freedom. We gain freeness from clean water, air and soil and, in the long run, from biodiversity. At this time, the challenge is to apply the right to a healthy environment locally. To become a model for the country, we must get results. A good place for results is the Lulu Island Bog, the area from Westminster Highway north to Alderbridge Way and from Garden City Road east to Jacombs
Road. It’s government-owned land that’s hanging on as a remnant of huge sphagnum bogs that had a vital role in forming the island. That brings us back to the “Bog Life” cartoon and Sunday’s event at Britannia Shipyards. As a follow-up, Michael is enabling further action with a free eco-tour two days later.

Children with learning-difficulties are not getting the full support they need Editor: This past school year I taught a child, who because of deficits in his/ her ability to process receptive and expressive language, scored in the first percentile for the child’s age range. Changes made to the ministry’s criteria for designation of the child’s disability means that the child does not qualify for any additional support. This is a child who is unable to speak or to process what he/she has heard. At the beginning of my career, this child would have been fully supported. Now, the child is lucky to receive help from a speech language pathologist
once every two weeks. This is not conjecture; this is a fact. A colleague who works in an inner city classroom in Vancouver had nine children in her class of 22 who are ministry-designated students with a range of learning difficulties, physical, and mental challenges. Nine. There are thousands of stories like these; these classrooms exist. These children exist. This is not conjecture; this is a fact. Rather than facing these facts head-on, they are ignored, and swept aside by rhetoric that education funding has increased—the problem is, it hasn’t
kept up. The fact is, government routinely downloads costs onto school districts (MSP rate increases, carbon tax, increases to wages [most notably CUPE’s wage increase in the fall of 2013, BCTF’s in 2006], Hydro increases, gas increases, inflationary items such as school supplies), and now costs associated with seismic upgrading. This past spring an unprecedented number of districts made cuts to programs, supports, supplies, personnel, and infrastructures in order to balance their budgets. This is not conjecture; this is a fact. Learning improvement funds are a small
step, but since their creation, have been open to misuse both by government (who recently used learning improvement funds to fund CUPE’s June 2014 collective agreement) and by school district management teams (who award funds to schools who did not apply for funds and deny them to schools who did). This is not conjecture; this is a fact. I’ve been teaching for 20 years. I experience on a daily basis, first hand, the results of what the past decade of cuts to education has done. The “best possible deal for teachers” includes better supports for students. I do
not know how this can be made any clearer and is something government cannot continue to choose to ignore. Sharon Hales Richmond

A gunman who shot four people at the Riverside Banquet Hall in East Richmond in January of 2013, has been found not criminally responsible. Lawyer Danny Markovitz, who represented accused shooter Sukhdeep Singh Sandhu, told The Review that his client will now be assessed by a review board which has the option to give him an absolute discharge, a conditional discharge or can elect to hold him in a mental health centre until they see fit to release him. Richmond provincial court Judge Patrick Chen gave a “reasoned decision� more than a month after the last evidence and testimony was entered in court, Markovitz said. While Markovitz said his client was happy with the verdict, the reaction from the victims and their family and friends in the courtroom last week, indicated quite the opposite. They quickly left the courtroom and huddled in the hallway outside to discuss what had happened, Markovitz said. Had he been in their shoes, Markovitz said he would have felt the same way. “Nobody has won in this,� said Markovitz who said he and his client feel very much for the victims and their families and all those impacted by the Jan. 16, 2013 shooting. Sandhu will remain in a psychiatric hospital after being declared a paranoid schizophrenic. While psychiatrist Stanley Semrau testified that medication has improved Sandhu’s decision, Markovitz believes Sandhu’s placement in a hospital is a much better setting for his treatment. Markovitz said his client regrets the incident and feels all the victims were victims in the truest sense of the word and didn’t deserve what happened to them. “My heart goes out to them,� he said. With his victims and their families sitting in the court gallery, Sandhu testified that he heard voices instructing him to shoot the intended target. Sandhu donned a bullet-proof vest and wore gloves a as he entered the banquet hall and opened fire. A private function was organized by members of the Longshore & Warehouse Union, both as a birthday party and to celebrate 10 newly annointed union members.

B.C. Summer Games a family affair for Kennedy clan by Don Fennell Sports Editor Twenty years after guiding the Fraser River-Delta zone boys’ basketball team, featuring future Richmond legend Pasha Bains, history is about to repeat itself for Chris Kennedy. Only this weekend’s B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo will be a family affair for Kennedy, who will serve as head coach of both his daughter Elizabeth’s under-13 girls’ team and son Nicholas’ under-13 boys’ squad. “It’s going to be pretty special,� says the always-affable Kennedy, who in 1994 was still in the early days of his coaching career in hoops. “So much of my life has been built around basketball and it will be neat to also have my wife and two other kids there to share the experience.� Seemingly always ahead of the curve, the ever-innovative Ken-

Kennedy coaching kids in three-on-three basketball From Page 9
Likening the concept to the streetball made popular by young New Yorkers, three on three is more structured and provides youth with a greater opportunity to develop their skills than traditional five-on-five hoops. “Kids want to be play a part in the games they’re playing and with this there’s more opportunity to be on the ball, to dribble and shoot,” says Kennedy. “And because you always have to be in motion you develop quicker.” “It’s become a cool cousin to regular five on five because the games are short with lots of action,” he adds. “Three-on-three also tends to be even more athletic with lots of one-on-one action, and among adults playing at the high end, plenty of dunks and alley-oops. You’re going to see more and more kids understanding both three and three and five on five basketball.” Kennedy is stoked about getting to coach kids who, at this age, are still eager to learn. He’s equally excited that he is able to work with excellent, experienced and legendary Richmond coaches in Sean Berda (who is helping with the boys) and Trish Nicholson (with the girls). “It’s like 20 years ago all over again when the three of us coached at McRoberts,” says Kennedy. With gym time hard to come by during the teachers’ strike, the teams have spent most nights over the last month at the South Arm Community Centre outdoor courts working through their drills and preparing for the Games. While a competitive zone—open to athletes from Richmond, Delta, Burnaby and New Westminster—the two basketball teams wound up with 16 of the 18 players being from Richmond and 13 of them having been part of the Richmond Youth Basketball League rep program. Kennedy says that’s a real credit to the grassroots efforts in Richmond to grow youth basketball in the community. Players are also developing through
the Steve Nash Program and are now part of the Basketball BC provincial programs. The under-13 girls’ roster is heavy with Grade 7s and includes eight Richmondites—Bella
Roberts, Jayna Wilson, Kara Moscovitz, Olivia Tweedlie, Emma Wallace, Morgan Flynn as well as Grade 6 student Elizabeth Kennedy and Grade 5 student Kate Carkner. The boys’ roster
is much younger and will have to face older competition at the Games. Of the eight boys from Richmond, six have just finished Grade 6—Ian Kern, Apaar Sahota, Jerric Palma, Sargun Singh,
Jordan Si and Nicholas Berda. They are joined by recent Grade 5 student Nicholas Kennedy and Grade 4 standout Marco Esteban. Kennedy says beyond basketball, the opportunity to participate in the B.C. Summer Games will

Petunia returns to Steveston Folk Guild Guild brings show outside as part of Britannia Shipyard’s Summer Music Series by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter The folk musician known as Petunia returns to the Steveston Folk Guild on Thursday for an outdoor show at Britannia Shipyards. Petunia has been swingin’ and swoonin’ audiences at bars, churches, theatres, folk festivals and street corners for a decade and has seven albums to his credit, including his latest, Petunia & the Loons. The Quebec-raised talent has found a home on the road, playing 150 shows each year in Canada, along with some dates in the States. Many of his shows are with his Vancouver
Petunia lives his life on the road, playing shows across the country.
band, the Vipers. He last played Steveston two years ago. Petunia spent the early part of his career playing on every major street corner, subway station and park bench in Canada and New York City. He set out picking, grinning and singing his way to a living, and became a regular on the Canadian touring circuit. He became
known for his cut-to-theheart songwriting. Petunia has a busy summer of touring, playing Edmonton before his Steveston date, and Bella Coola after. With extensive tours under his belt, Petunia boasts a feat of playing with “literally hundreds, and maybe thousands” of musicians throughout his travels. Petunia and his band play a wide variety of music, drawing heavy influence from rockabilly and western swing. He also has his hand in oldstyle Quebec country and western. Also appearing at the Steveston show is Jimmy Roy, who will accompany Petunia on steel guitar. The July 17 concert will be staged on the grass at Britannia, 5180 Westwater Dr., as part of the Shipyards Summer Music Series. The concert begins at 7 p.m.; bring a seat or pillow.

Agreements under the Family Law Act The Family Law Act, in effect since March, 2013, recognizes agreements made between spouses dealing with family law issues, including division of property and debts. While many oral contracts can be binding, agreements addressing family law issues should be written. A written agreement may serve as evidence of its terms, while helping to prove that the parties considered legal principles that might be raised if the agreement is later challenged. In particular, the Family Law Act allows a court to set aside an agreement concerning division of property and debts if there is evidence of: (a) failure to disclose significant property or debts; (b) procedural unfairness; (c) lack of understanding of the nature or consequences of the agreement; or (d) grounds under the common law for voiding the agreement; and, in addition to these factors, the court concludes that it would replace the agreement with a court order that is substantially different from the agreement.
Courts can still decide to set aside an agreement even if none of the above factors are present, if it finds that the agreement is “significantly unfair”, also taking into account: (a) the length of time that has passed since the agreement was made; (b) the intention of the spouses when making the agreement; (c) the degree to which the spouses relied on the terms of the agreement. The threshold of “significant unfairness” required for the court to set aside an agreement is a new concept under the Family Law Act, with few court cases yet decided.

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Sunday afternoon’s second annual multifaith food drive was an upbeat affair, with live musical entertainment keeping donors coming to the event outside the Blundell Centre Safeway. Volunteers from Beth Tikvah Congregation, St. Anne’s Anglican Church, St. Joseph the Worker Parish and Our Saviour Lutheran churches led the fundraising effort for the Richmond Food Bank, which has a mission to provide food security for less fortunate local residents. Both cash and donations of non-perishable

foods were accepted by staff from the Richmond Food Bank, who were on site. The local faith groups have come together to tackle local issues, and are now collectively known as Hand-in-Hand.
“This was our second effort and I hope we’ll have this as an annual event,” said Francie Steen, of the Beth Tikvah Congregation, who hopes that other religions will buy-in to this event in the future.
“It’s special that we’re Richmond-based people doing something for Richmond people.” Steen said poverty crosses all cultural and religious divides. “And unfortunately it’s a growing need.”

AWESOME NAILS NO.2
There's nothing quite like relaxing during a pedicure.
If you’re looking for a relaxing place to pamper yourself for half an hour, Awesome Nails No.2 at Blundell Centre is the place for you. Under new management since November, the store’s clientele is growing, chiefly through word-ofmouth references, according to manager Diem Nguyen. New clients are always welcome, whether by appointment or through drop-ins. There’s a wide range of services available at Awesome Nails No.2. With a name like that, there’s no doubt about what they specialize in. Manicures are just $18, and pedicures are $30. They also offer quicker versions of each, for a better deal. On Mondays, customers are treated to a 10 per cent discount on gel colours for their nails. Diem said gel colours dry faster and last longer than conventional polish, verified by a nearby customer as true.
Once you go with gel colours, you won’t go back, unless it’s a few weeks later for a re-application. On Tuesdays, Awesome Nails No.2 offers a 10-per-cent discount on manicures and pedicures, or both at the same time. While manicures and pedicures take between 30 and 45 minutes, customers can take in an episode of Ellen Degeneres, something from the Food Channel, or even the World Cup broadcast live from Brazil, she said. Awesome Nails No.2 is located at Blundell Centre, Unit 190 - 8120 No. 2 Road, at the intersection with Blundell. They are open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays. For more information or to book an appointment, call them at 604277-7784. The store also sells gift certificates.

messy side braids are also popular this summer due to the athletic fashion trend, you can work a braid for the daytime and untie the plait for the evening, creating beachy waves. As for party makeup, piling on heavy foundation is the last thing we want to do in warmer weather, so it’s no wonder that a sheer, natural face is in this season for a base. Makeup artists backstage at the fashion shows relied on dewy moisturizers and light coverage this season, letting bold colours on either the eyes or lips do the talking.
Celia Leung FASHION STYLIST
O
n humid summer days, even dressing up for an event can feel like a chore. But with some simple yet stylish party look ideas, getting ready will be easy breezy. Whether attending a garden party, barbecue or outdoor wedding, have a few outfit, hair and makeup looks in mind for quick, fuss-free ensembles. A chic alternative to dresses this season are jumpsuits and rompers. One of this season’s hottest trends, the one-piece is a fun go-to party look. Characterized by a top attached to either pants or shorts, jumpsuits and rompers allow a streamlined, unbroken silhouette. It’ll also save you the hassle of determining which top goes with which bottoms. For a more understated look, go for jumpsuits and rompers in solid colours. Solid colours will also make it easier to pair the garment with shoes, bags and jewelry. Belts are an especially good way to break up solid jumpsuits and define the waist. For a more dramatic look, patterned jumpsuits will ensure you stand out from the crowd. Jersey and linen fabrics also offer a casual vibe while silk and satins are better for nighttime or more formal events.
Braids were the highlight of the Calla show. (Source: TheFashionSpot.com) If you prefer shorts to beat the heat, try changing it up with patterned versions. They can easily pair with a solid blouse or tank in a complementary shade. Subtle patterns such as stripes and polka dots are a great way to venture into the trend while the fashion bold can rock colourful prints such as batik, animal or giant florals. The key to finding flattering patterned shorts is fit. Baggy patterned ones tend to enlarge your hips and make it appear like you’re wearing a short skirt rather than a pair of shorts with defined lines. Whatever the length of your shorts, go for a patterned pair that is fitted without adding bulk to your lower half. Summer party outfits aren’t complete without fun accessories, makeup and hair. Since hot days call for easy to maintain hairstyles, waves are an excellent, romantic
option. This season calls for carefree loose waves that don’t need to be overstyled. One of the simplest ways to get the look is through braiding damp hair. Once dried, tousle the hair a bit with your fingers. And since
For a bright pop of colour on the lids, aqua colours such as shades of blue and green were popular on the runway. Marc Jacobs and Miu Miu, for example, incorporated turquoise shadows and cobalt blue liner to eyes of their models. Prefer a less dramatic alternative to try the trend? Switch out your black or brown eyeliner with navy.
If you want to play up your lips, the hottest hue this season veers toward orange lipsticks. Spotted at the Rag & Bone and Prabal Gurung shows, try an orange-red for a more natural shade. Matte fuchsia is also a big trend for those who stick to pink lip colours. Whether you’re making a statement on your eyes or on your lips, finish off with some mascara and a touch of bronzer or blush for a healthy glow. Summer’s the season to incorporate wild colours and patterns into your outfits, so have fun with your party looks!

Luck of the draw provides no favours to Squirt hosts Islanders miss playoffs by bases touched by Don Fennell Sports Editor Richmond Islanders have reason to question the idiom that suggests it’s the luck of the draw. Drawing eventual gold medallist White Rock Renegades and bronze medallist Victoria Devils as well as both Ridge Meadows Pride teams in the round-robin, the host Islanders missed reaching the playoffs by an unkind tiebreaking rule— bases touched—at Softball BC’s provincial under-12A girls’ championship last weekend at London Field. “After battling so hard it may take a while to get that taste out of my mouth,” said Richmond coach Dave Gillis. “I feel for the girls.” Gillis said it’s frustrating but drawing the No. 1, 3, 4 and 5 teams in the league will make the Islanders better in the long run. After a challenging opening day last Friday, in which they lost 8-2 to

B But healt alth has improved forr se fo eiz zed Rottweilers, who h ve each lost between 10 hav a d 15 pounds and by Ja b acq queliine Langen and Ma artin n van den Hemel Bllack k Pre ess
A bid to o h av ve two Rottweilers released frrom dogg g y de ath row was denied by a Richm mond d pro ov in n cii al court judge, who ruled last w week k he e d id d n’t t have jurisdiction to hear the m matte er.
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. Since they were seized on Oct. 25, following a minor biting incident involving a construction worker who suff ffered a dime-sized contusion to his upper thigh, the dogs have gained an estimated 25 pounds each.
The extra exercise, along with a 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.

wo days of music, games and fun in the sun helped wrap up World Cup Steveston at Steveston Park last weekend.
Photo1: Stephen Peng, Lily Zhang, Louie Zhao and Hawk Lu.
“(It was) the big finale,” said Alan Clark, vice-president of the Steveston Community Society. The event in the park

was designed to be oriented towards families while down the street at the Buck and Ear another celebration was being thrown that was geared towards adults. The two-day festival at Steveston Park featured live music from more than 10 different acts, plenty of children’s activities, a barbecue and face painting. “We had a fun experience,” Clark said. A highlight for many was getting to meet and have their picture taken with Rick Hansen. In 1985, Hansen embarked on his world tour, travelling 40,000 kilometres through 34 countries over two years in his wheelchair. He raised over $26 million for spi-

nal cord injury research. Hansen, a Richmond resident, stopped by the park on Sunday afternoon before heading over to participate in the festivities at the Buck and Ear and to watch Germany defeat Argentina in the World Cup final. The Rick Hansen Foundation is the beneficiary of the fundraising efforts of World Cup Steveston, which saw many of the village’s merchants support a competing country by decorating their shops and hosting a special event during the World Cup.
