Feathered feeding frenzy

David Wong photo Photographer David Wong (R-Gasman on Flickr) recently captured these feeding barn swallows in Richmond's Terra Nova Rural Park. The bird species is common around the world, with a global population estimated at over 190 million. Wong had spied the group, usually up on wires, for a few mornings. On this occasion, he was able to get close to them to take a few photos—before a jogger ran past and scared them away.

Black Press Negotiators for the B.C. Teachers' Federation and school districts are meeting today (Friday) for the first time since schools were shuttered by a strike in late June, and Education Minister Peter Fassbender expects new proposals from both sides. Fassbender said it's the first meeting of full bargaining teams in more than a month, and the B.C. Public School Employers' Association has some "new concepts" to bring to the discussion. "We've already demonstrated our willingness to

move on some key elements," he said. "We need to see the same from the BCTF. They've indicated they're willing to do that." He wouldn't comment on the new proposals, except to reiterate that the BCTF's position on benefits and other compensation is not in the "affordability zone" established by other public sector union agreements. If the strike shuts schools again in September, the government plans to use the savings to compensate parents $40 a day for each child under 13 in public school, to assist with daycare or tutoring costs. Fassbender said there would be no condi-

tions attached to the payout. "My hope is that there isn't a nickel available as of September, because schools are operating, teachers are back in the classroom, students are there and there is no further disruption," he said. The B.C. School Trustees' Association has urged the government to direct its $12 million a day in payroll savings from the strike to a fund to address class size and special needs support. Trustees have also called on the union to moderate its benefit demands, which include parental leave, dental benefits, massage therapy and increased preparation time.

A public piano awaits a player outside Richmond Cultural Centre, in Minoru Plaza, yesterday.

Trio of open-air pianos make debut in city Cultural centre, oval and Britannia will host the public instruments by Matthew Hoekstra Martin van den Hemel photo Richmond RCMP Const.

Cops gearing up for fundraiser Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast supports childhood cancer research by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Nearly three dozen cyclists and support crew from the Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast were in Richmond on Wednesday, training for the September event that will see them pedal 900 kilometres in nine days for charity. Richmond RCMP Const. Justin Lee and Const. Terry Crawford are part of the fundraising team, and are working to each raise at least$6,000 in pledges for the effort, which will go to pediatric cancer research as well as caring support programs such as Camp Goodtimes. The participants gathered at Hugh Boyd secondary on

Wednesday morning before embarking on a 60 kilometre training trek through the city. Cops for Cancer tours take place in four regions in B.C., including Greater Vancouver. The Tour de Coast will take participants along the Sea to Sky corridor as well as the Sunshine Coast, the North Shore and cities in Greater Vancouver, from Maple Ridge to Richmond. To sponsor Lee, visit tinyurl.com/CforCJustinLee, or to sponsor Crawford, visit tinyurl.com/CforCTerryCrawford Since 1997, more than $32 million has been raised by Cops for Cancer in B.C., allowing the Canadian Cancer Society to directly fund childhood cancer research and caring support programs.

Staff Reporter Three pianos are being placed at different locations in Richmond as part of a program to create change through music. The Support Piano program Pianos on the Street, sponsored by the Piano Teachers Federation, is placing the instruments in the open air—free to use by anyone wishing to entertain passersby. On Thursday, a piano arrived at Minoru Plaza, outside Richmond Cultural Centre, and at Britannia Shipyards, which is hosting the Richmond Maritime Festival this weekend. A third is destined for the Richmond Olympic Oval area. The program’s goal is to “build bridges throughout the community” and to “bring music into the lives of as many people” as possible, according to a news release this week. Ten public pianos appeared on Vancouver’s streets at the start of the summer, under the Keys to the Streets program. Pianos have also appeared elsewhere in Metro Vancouver, including Surrey, New Westminster and Burnaby. Players are welcome to record themselves performing, upload the video and compete for cash prizes up to $400 and be eligible for a chance to play with Lions Gate Sinfonia, the orchestra of the North Shore.

Fraser River facing ‘environmental disaster’ Mount Polley mine tailings spill raises fears for 1.5 million salmon in Fraser by Jeff Nagel Black Press An estimated 1.5 million migrating Fraser River sockeye salmon are destined for Quesnel Lake, which has now been contaminated by the Mount Polley mine tailings pond spill. The Quesnel system sockeye make up a major portion of what’s hoped to be a record run this year, said Craig Orr, executive director of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society. “This is one of the greatest environmental disasters we’ve had on the Fraser,” Orr said. “Some of the effluent will be getting in the Fraser. The big question is how concentrated, how harmful it will be. Some of these compounds have short term impacts and some have much longer term

Cariboo Regional District photo Quesnel Lake is part of a sockeye spawning system that connects with the Fraser River.

impacts.” While the Quesnel Lake stocks are among the Fraser’s most abundant, Orr is particularly concerned that other much weaker stocks that spawn in other tributaries of the Fraser could be harmed. “People have to be concerned about not just what it means for the returning fish but for the juveniles rearing in the lake right now,” he said.

“We don’t know if it’s going to accumulate in their bodies or potentially affect their olfactions, their ability to find their home waters.” Resident fish at risk include threatened bull trout and plentiful rainbow trout. At a news conference in Likely, Imperial Metals president Brian Kynoch said the water in the pond is tested with rainbow trout, and its arsenic level is one fifth of the limit for drinking water.

He described the effluent as “relatively benign.” The huge spill of tailings and water tore down Hazeltine Creek, which is where endangered Interior coho salmon are supposed to spawn in a few weeks. Gord Sterritt, executive director of the Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance, said the group, which represents 23 First Nations from Williams Lake to the Fraser’s headwaters, had already raised concerns that planned releases of effluent into the creek by mine operator Imperial Metals might harm the coho. Chinook salmon also spawn near the outlet of Quesnel Lake at the Quesnel River. “Those fish will be holding or just about to enter the spawning grounds pretty quick,” Sterritt said. “We’re pretty concerned about what the toxic elements are going to do those fish. And then there’s the scouring of the debris pile that is potentially going to be moving down the lake and into the river.” Contamination that reaches the Fraser could affect fish spawning hundreds of kilometres away. Kynoch said the pond water nearly meets drinking water standards and the main threat to fish is from the silt, which he said is settling rapidly.

Routine stop nets child porn suspect A routine traffic stop by Richmond Mounties recently netted them a man wanted on child pornography charges. Richmond RCMP Cpl. Stephanie Ashton said Geoffrey Scott Ambridge, 29, was arrested after being pulled over by police for a Motor Vehicle Act infraction. It turned out that Ambridge, a resident of Surrey, was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for charges of possession of child pornography and was taken in custody, and will be relocated to Alberta to face those outstanding criminal charges. “Our road safety officers are often the fist line of investigation for arrests like this one,” Ashton said.

DARE gets boost from service clubs Two Richmond Service Clubs donated $4,000 this past school year to help Richmond RCMP teach the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program to 1,782 local children in grades 5 and 6. The Rotary Club of Steveston donated $3,000, while the Army Navy Air Force Unit 284 donated $1,000. Over 200 police officers teach the DARE program each year to thousands of kids in B.C. to equip them with the critical thinking and life skills necessary to choose a drug-free life. While police officers teach the program, the cost of the student learning materials is covered by community donations so the program can be offered for free. The total cost of Richmond’s student learning materials for the year was actually $17,280, leaving a shortfall of $11,320. Donations for the 2014-15 program can be made at darebc.com.

Solution for Denture Sufferers Dental implants give you teeth with secure and solid foundation, so you can chew the foods you like and improve your nutrition. Implants also help preserve the bone of the jaw and help keep you looking younger. Dental implants can now be placed with virtually no discomfort. This procedure is performed in a routine dental setting on an outpatient basis and requires no hospitalization. The patient is able to go home the same day. “With new techniques, my patients are able to continue wearing their existing teeth during the entire healing period and never have to go a single day without teeth,” says Dr. Nelson. Not only do dental implants benefit the person who is missing all their teeth and has loose dentures, they also help individuals missing a single tooth, or just a few of their teeth, by offering a more permanent replacement.

For a Complimentary consult and to receive a FREE Report on How Dental Implants End Denture Problems, Call 604-232-3900.

“I had been missing my four front teeth for over 40 years. My denture was very uncomfortable and I was constantly getting my tongue caught on it. I was having to take it out three times a day to clean. Now, my life is easier! No more taking my teeth in and out to clean. I feel more confident and happier. No more problems. My teeth look excellent! Even my medical doctor said I had very strong teeth and was surprised they were implants. I am definitely enjoying eating again and cleaning my teeth is a breeze. Don’t hesitate to have implants done. It was very well worth it! It made a lot of difference in my lifestyle and I am enjoying having food again. – J. Jepsen

Serial killer’s conviction upheld A Surrey serial killer who dumped the body of one of his four victims in a hockey duffel bag submerged in the water next to the north end of the George Massey Tunnel in 2004, has had his appeal rejected by the Court of Appeal for B.C. Charles Eli Kembo was convicted in B.C. Supreme Court in 2010 of the murders of his wife, Margaret Kembo, his business partner, Ardon Samuel, his female friend and sometime lover Sui Yin Ma, and his stepdaughter Rita Yeung. Ma’s body was found stuffed in a submerged hockey bag purchased at a Richmond retailer. Judges were unanimous in rejecting the appeal.

Trovato lives in Steveston and has worked at Byrne Creek Secondary School in Burnaby for the past decade, as the head of the arts department and a drama teacher. Although he hasn’t been an activist, he was spurred into action by the ongoing labour dispute. “I wanted to do something, be productive and pro-active and stand up and speak out and make a difference,” he said. “I think there’s a lot of things at stake.” Trovato said his family moved from Argentina to Canada in 1965, drawn by Canada’s “democratic, pluralistic, egalitarian society.” Canada has a reputation for providing a level playing field for everybody, meaning those with hopes and dreams

ecent high profile municipal road safety plans—Vancouver’s and New York City’s for example—have imported the ‘Vision Zero’ objective, a future in which no drivers or passengers or vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists are injured or killed on the roads. Inevitably, discussion of this objective turned to the aspirational value of a utopian vision, which implied, of course, that it was impossible to achieve and unrealistic and, hence a nice idea, a catchy term, but out of reach. As trend lines in the early-motorized countries continue to show steady improvement demonstrably linked to specific changes, ‘Vision Zero’ visionaries are encountering less skepticism. Road Rules applauds these developments and all efforts to promote universal ‘buy in’ and hence motivate achievement. Thus we commend and recommend to our readers Cars vs People in the June 10, 2014 Maclean’s Magazine written by Brian Bethune. This article discusses the plan to end traffic fatalities in Canada by 2035 — No Accident: Eliminating Injury and Death on Canadian Roads, written by Neil Arason, a BC civil servant and road safety researcher. Vision Zero visionaries agree that with the possible exception of the self-driving car, there is no silver bullet for achieving zero road fatalities and injuries. Changes are needed in all three main contributing factors: driver behaviours and skills, road design, and vehicle design. Ultimately the sum total of these changes will continue to push the trend

lines in the right direction—down—to zero. Debate tends to concentrate on the needed changes, their effectiveness and the way they combine to produce results. Mr. Arason, however, takes a slightly different approach by favouring the two ‘designable’ factors over the behavioural one. He is quoted as saying that, “the human factor does matter a lot, and safety measures should aim to influence driver behaviour, the more automatically the better, but a shift of focus to the road system and, above all, to the dangerous machines we drive… is what will make Vision Zero conceivable and possible.” The development of Mr. Arason’s thesis makes for a stimulating article (and book, no doubt) but may not persuade everyone interested in the topic. The proposition that we may have reached the limit of controlling or minimizing the risky propensities of the “idiot behind the wheel” —to tire, to be distracted, to disobey the rules, etc. is undercut by the irresistible urge to continue advocating for changes in this area as well, such as lowering the permissible blood alcohol levels and raising the minimum age for starting Graduated Licensing programs. But so be it. Any way to advocating for such a vision is well worth exploring. One rationale commonly advanced for Vision Zero is the economic waste of road injuries and fatalities. Mr. Arason notes, “The annual economic carnage wreaked by car accidents, as estimated by Transport Canada: $63 billion.” This money pays for those who deal with the consequences of motor vehicle accidents: police, emergency responders, doctors and a host of other health care professionals, auto body shops, insurance agencies and brokers, lawyers, judges, and funeral directors. The dreadful disease smallpox, a plague upon humanity for thousands of years was declared to be eradicated in 2011. Likewise one day, the car crash. …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

can realize them through hard work. He believes a high quality and well-funded education system “acts as the cornerstone of our democratic society.” “If you take that away, you get haves and havenots,” he said. Trovato said he’s alarmed by the fact perstudent funding in B.C. is $1,000 less than the national average. “Underfunding is something that should concern every British Columbian,” he said, whether they have children or not, as it benefits everyone to have knowledgable and productive citizens. Students deserve more one-on-one support, every student deserves smaller classes and better resources and supports, he said. If he’s elected, Trovato said he would advocate for a “first rate, high quality, well funded education system for all students.” He would also advocate for a safe, welcoming and inclusive school system. Newcomers Kevin Lainchbury and Peter Liu also recently announced they are running with Richmond First, alongside incumbent trustees Donna Sargent, Debbie Tablotney and Eric Yung. Current trustees Grace Tsang, Rod Belleza and Norm Goldstein could not be reached for comment. Kenny Chiu, who plans to complete his term as a trustee, announced earlier this year that he will be seeking the Conservative nomination in the new Steveston-Richmond East federal riding.

The event will feature a cultural showcase, lecture on Mandela’s legacy, presentations and panel discussions with world-renowned South African scholars and activists. “Mandela has inspired oppressed people throughout the world, and become a universal symbol of forgiveness and reconciliation,” said Dr. Wendy Royal, conference cochair, in a news release. “This conference at-

tempts to understand his historical role, and critically analyze his legacy of greatness and limitations, and their impact on postapartheid South Africa.” Mandela, a former South African president and anti-apartheid revolutionary, died last December at the age of 95. The tribute’s memorial lecture will be delivered by Jay Naidoo, who was a leader in the struggle against apartheid and a member of Mandela’s cabinet. Recently voted one of the top 100 most influential Africans, Naidoo will discuss the former president’s legacy, and the challenges that face South Africa today. The event is part of the third Biennial Kwame Nkrumah Conference, which

Expires August 31, 2014. Applicable to most car models. Valid only at No. 4 Road location.

But the rebuttal argument against allegations that the tail is wagging the dog came recently, to the benefit of everyone in the community who loves the fact there are no obvious ghettos in Richmond. It was just a couple of months ago when city staff suggested that a developer be permitted to forgo building affordable housing near the Richmond Olympic Oval, which is Richmond’s answer to Yaletown

or perhaps Coal Harbour. Instead of building 29 low-end market rental housing units at River Park Place, staff suggested that Intracorp instead be allowed to donate $4.6 million to be used on a much-needed downtown Richmond affordable housing complex. Council could have caved to staff ’s suggestion which was not without merit. Instead, perhaps prompted by criticism that the oval precinct would become a neighbourhood solely for the city’s wealthy, council opted to borrow the money it needed for that other project, and

to urge Intracorp to construct that promised standalone building next to the water near the Olympic oval. That sober second though deserves applause. While building affordable housing is never a bad thing in Richmond, which is one of the most expensive places to live in the Lower Mainland, Richmond should always aim higher. So rather than putting all affordable housing solely in some distant corner, this city’s leaders and planners are planning for diverse neighbourhoods. It should be noted that a year ago city council granted two develop-

ers the right to exclude affordable housing in two emerging riverfront communities. Council dropped the low-cost rental requirement for River Green, near the oval, and Parc Riviera, near River Rock Casino Resort. The move meant a loss of 100 affordable homes at the development sites, netting the city $14.1 million for purpose-built projects instead. Continuing to cave to developers’ wishes would have solidified what some already saw as a precedent. It was a mis-step that this council deftly avoided, despite the best intentions of city staff.

Embracing the manly art of food security

Green Scene Stephen Mullins

ere’s something that puzzles me. When barbecue season arrives in B.C., why is it that many men who normally shy away from cooking will eagerly take to their backyard grills without the slightest hesitation? Being a master of the grill is a point of pride for many guys, something that is easily confirmed by watching shows like Grill It! on the Food Network, where the host and his male guests create barbecued masterpieces on grills that look as shiny and as complex as NASA’s Mars rovers. This isn’t to say women don’t enjoy barbecuing too, but in our society, it seems open flame cooking is one of the few areas of meal planning and preparation that most men embrace, even if they avoid other styles of cooking. Unfortunately for many men, cooking is considered women’s work, a misguided attitude that persists in countries worldwide. I’ve often wondered why this is still a thing, or

was ever a thing. When the great explorers like Jacques Cartier or Simon Fraser went adventuring, they usually had an allmale crew, so the cooks were men. In places like B.C., rugged logging and mining crews were fed hearty meals prepared, in the most part, by male cooks. Most of the time these men weren’t barbecuing, but cooking stews, roasts, pies and other meals on iron stoves, and nobody thought it was unmanly. So how is it that if the same meals are cooked today in pastel coloured suburban kitchens on sleek metal stoves, cooking magically becomes women’s work? I wish I had the space in this article to delve into the psychology of this, but all I can do is point out the illogic behind this discrepancy and hope it will spur people to reexamine their attitudes about meal planning, food shopping and cooking, most of which is still done by women. Food security advocates have been urging men to get more involved in these activities for years now, and fortunately, there has been some progress. A recent study by three University of North Carolina professors, published in the prestigious Nutrition Journal, found that “the proportion of men who cooked increased from 29 per cent in 19651966 to 42 per cent in 2007-2008. For women, the proportion of women cooking declined from 92 per cent in 1965–1966 to 68 per cent in 2007–2008.” Despite this welcome increased participation by men, the fact remains

Metro Creative photo Open flame cooking is one of the few areas of meal planning and preparation that most men embrace, even if they avoid other styles of cooking.

that the majority of men still don’t cook at all. While it’s true some men don’t cook because they were never taught how, it remains that many men don’t cook (other than barbecuing) because it’s not a priority when their partners are doing the cooking for them, or they are discouraged by outdated taboos. This is a big problem because getting people to cook more often, regardless of their gender, greatly helps the cause of food security. When people cook, they quickly learn how hard it is to get fresh, wholesome ingredients at a reasonable price, and they start asking why this is so. They start to learn what’s grown locally and what’s imported, or they begin to wonder if organic ingredients might be better for themselves and their family. And by

choosing to cook their own meals, it also means they have largely turned away from relying solely on poor quality fast or pre-processed foods. There are many favourable consequences that flow from the decision to cook at home, so the more people that do it, the better. So the outdated notion that cooking is unmanly has got to go. The myriad of useful food security benefits that cooking brings can’t be maximized if half the population hasn’t been trained in how to cook or has been erroneously taught that it’s inappropriate for them to do so. What we’re left with is a call to action. Men, forget what you’ve been told about cooking. Be fearless like those early explorers and pioneers, because it’s a man’s world in the kitchen, always

has been. Creating food masterpieces can be just as satisfying on the stove as on the barbecue, if you want it to be. Your choices about what to buy, cook and eat will not only boost your own health, but perhaps that of your community too. So don’t be afraid to boldly take up the spatula and fry pan. Do it for yourself. Do it for your kids or your partner. Do it for your mom. But do it. Be a leader in the manly art of food security.

SEAFAIR MINOR HOCKEY

TRY HOCKEY EVENT

Public education needs public support Editor: Public education: weaken it or strengthen it? That’s the question before British Columbians because it will not stay the same. The government seeks to control class size and composition by deleting it from the next collective agreement. This will lower the taxes necessary to fund public education as class size creeps up and needy children become more concentrated in the public system. Teachers know the classrooms will be forever changed and service to future students will be stratified according to parents’ resources to leave the public system in favour of smaller class sizes in a private school and better options for academic rigour. As a public school teacher, I beg you to consider what will be lost if we allow this shift to occur. Today’s private schools compete for paying “clients” based mostly on academic outcomes as defined by FSA achievement. It’s not hard to achieve perfect scores when a school selects its population using entrance exams and then tailors curriculum to meet the test. But something is lost in this pursuit of academic excellence, especially for young children. Public schools bring together children from the neighbourhood that come from cultural diversity, economic diversity, and intellectual/emotional diversity. The public system strives to teach social norms to generations that will one day be employers, each others neighbours, co-workers and soccer parents supporting the same team. We teach the concepts of Halloween, Mother’s Day, and Thanksgiving as ways of celebrating being Canadian and use the word “inclusion” daily. We monitor playgrounds at recess where the bully clashes with the rules of the acceptable and where the disenfranchised look for ways to belong. We orchestrate projects in class to practise working with others and building common ground where none existed before. Our diversity allows children to organically play and work with others and build a comfort across cultures and capacity that only children can. Canada welcomes 250,000 new immigrants each year. Public schools are for building social understandings in the young. If parents today abandon the public system because it has been made to look unstable and the media shames teachers as “greedy” because we protest the diminishing funding over the past 12 years, than God help us all.

Editor: Re: “Dog park works fine in Steveston,” Letters, July 30. Mr. Barnes comments that the off-leash area in Steveston is located in the middle of the park. It is not. It is tucked away at the very end of the park, bordering a walkway, a playing field on the right, and then a row of single detached houses. I was told these homeowners are not very happy to have a view of a chain link fence, which they consider to be an eyesore. In addition, the only music to their ears is the constant barking of hounds behind bars. I decided to speak with the dog owners walking around and asked why they are not choosing to use the dog park. Their response? “The last thing we want to do is put our dog in the dog park.” Reasons given: too many dogs confined in a pen results in fights, uncleanliness, disease propaga-

tion. I did also speak to dog owners on the boardwalk and got the same response. So, Mr. Barnes, what are you talking about? These pens called “dog parks” do not address the real meaning of off-leash. It is confinement again; a bunch of inmates allowed to have a break in a confined area. The dog park addresses the needs of a few dog owners that have issues with their dogs. Maybe we should have a broader interpretation of the bylaw so all dog owners can co-exist in a harmonious way, should they choose to have their dog on- or off-leash. South Arm Park and Steveston Park do not compare. We 532 whiners, as you called us, do not want a dog park in the middle of South Arm Park. Eve Rollet de Darantes Richmond

Don’t replace Minoru seniors centre Editor: Re: “City should reconsider pool plan,” Letters, Aug. 1. I was stirred to agree with the letter from Chris Neale. My concerns are not regarding the pool but the seniors centre. Our current facility is bright and welcoming with many wonderful features. I enjoy looking through floor-to-ceiling windows in the lounge to the wide vista outside with walkways, shrubbery and large trees to the plaza—a stage where we can watch people and children passing by who are involved in fun activities. Fortunately, the library and cultural centre are right next door and within easy and safe walking distance. What a joy to sit in the comfort of that beautiful lounge and take in the world around us. This holds true for many, if not most of the other activity rooms which also have exits to the outdoors should an emergency occur or the need to evacuate the facility quickly. Many seniors use walkers, wheelchairs or canes and most of us move at a slower pace than our younger population. Our need for unimpeded hallway space is paramount. Other seniors are often helpful to those of us who need a little more assistance. Our cafeteria is a great gathering place where a friend or a smiling face welcomes you to join them. It is also fairly quiet so those of us with hearing concerns do not usually have a problem interacting with others. I am concerned with the sharing of washrooms, halls and a cafeteria with younger members of our community. We love them dearly but their energy level is much higher than ours and this can be overwhelming at times, especially when we have come to our centre to socialize for a few hours. The ‘’Proposed Building Footprint” notice posted in the seniors centre causes me to wonder if some of our seniors (apparently to be renamed “older adults”) will not be well served by the new facility. Will they then forego the social opportunities and programs currently so popular at our present site? On discussing these new plans with others, some seniors have indicated they feel as if they are being pushed into a corner, and the city may be attempting to make the area into an all-inclusive regular community centre. A seniors centre is a seniors centre, not a general multi-purpose activity centre. Please reconsider. Leave us where we are. Please do not put us between other facilities with limited outside vistas that do not compare with what we have already. Shirley Dorman Richmond

opinion Excuse me, do you have any Grey Poupon? by Bob Niles Contributor I want to say something to the flag girl about how much I enjoy the inside of my car on a hot day, but it would do no good. But she’s the face on this traffic tie-up. Whom else could I mouth off to? The big burly tanned bronzed behemoth guy that’s squashing the hot pavement with the vibrating roller? I think not! I value my front tooth. It’s a far far better thing that I think of things to do to take my mind off this impassible inconvenience called roadwork. 1. Roll up all the car windows and make the poor sucker beside you in the ‘87 Honda think you have air conditioning. 2. Check out the rear and side mirrors to see what you would see if you ever actually used them. 3. Pretend that trickle of sweat running down your back is a mouse looking for a home. 4. Try to not move after thinking about No. 3. 5. Test the theory that as soon as road crew workers are spotted, you count all the safety vests worn to see if it’s equal to the minutes you are stuck there. 6. Check to see if the car next to you has any Grey Poupon dijon mustard. 7. From the back seat, as your lane moves ahead, complain loudly that the new feature in your car doesn’t work. 8. Have the kids pretend they’re asleep while you and the wife rehearse lies about how little you bought in the U.S. that afternoon. (Oops! Forgot which lineup I was in.) 9. If you’re a guy take your shirt off and pretend you’re uncomfortable with your nudity when the guy in the next car asks for Grey Poupon. 10. Using your knees drive through the orange cones on the fresh pavement screaming, “It’s trying to park itself!” 11. While advancing faster than the other lanes belt out your favourite Barry Manilow hit while dancing to “Copacabana.” When stopped, remain quiet, don’t look to the left or right. Look straight ahead. 12: Have a mental breakdown.

How To Sell A House That Didn’t Sell Richmond B.C - If your home has just come off the market and hasn’t sold, don’t be discouraged. The reason your home did not sell may have nothing to do with your home or the market. In reality, your home may have been one of the more desirable properties for sale. So Why Didn’t Your Home Sell? Last year many of the homes listed for sale never sold at all, and many sellers found that there was a tremendous amount a homeowner needed to be educated on to sell their home for top dollar in the shortest time period.

Peewee Chuckers’ season ends in heartbreak and Dawson. Broderick Hong contributed three of the 20 Chucker hits. In the semifinals, Hiroki Sato scored after drawing a walk in the second inning on a ground ball by Montaro Uyeyama and powered in two runs in the third to briefly the tie the game against Abbotsford. He also had a key hit in extra innings, but the Chuckers were unable to cash him in. Abbotsford again took the lead in the fourth inning on a solo shot from Connol Sexton, who also pitched a strong four innings for the Angels. After adding another run, the Angels gave up three runs in the bottom of the sixth to put the Chuckers ahead 6-5. Broderick and McElwain got on base with successive singles, and Moscovitz reached on an error, before Ethan Hong drove in the go-ahead

But four players from third-place finishers added to B.C. reps at Westerns, nationals by Don Fennell Sports Editor They lost just three times all season. Unfortunately, the last cut short the Richmond Chuckers’ anticipated championship run at the provincial Peewee AAA baseball championship in Sunday’s semifinals at Cloverdale. Abbotsford Angels took an early lead, held off a bases-loaded rally by the Chuckers in the bottom of the eighth inning, and then got a solo home run by Logan McDonald in the second extra inning to squeeze out a dramatic 7-6 victory in the nineinning contest. The An-

gels went on to win the championship and will represent B.C. at the nationals Aug. 21 to 25 in London, Ont. But it wasn’t all heartbreak for the Chuckers. Besides going into the provincial tournament as the No. 1 seed, with a 12-1 record, they came home with well-deserved bronze medals for their efforts. And they got more good news when the Angels asked two Chuckers—Josh Moscovitz and Peter Broderick, to join them in representing B.C. at the Canadians. Then the coach of Cloverdale, which finished second, requested Reid Dawson

and Jonny McGill join them at the Western Canadian championships in Altona, Man. “That’s pretty big for our program,” said Richmond coach Scott Lunny. “Having our full Chuckers team go to either westerns or nationals would have been ideal, but to have

four Richmond players picked up makes us pretty darn proud.” Richmond went 3-1 in round-robin play. Upset in the opening game 8-5 by Vancouver Minor in which Peter Broderick pitched five solid innings and scored twice, the Chuckers rallied for eight hits in their next game to out-

score a scrappy Victoria Black Eagles 8-5. Gabriel Suessenbacher-Fu, Dustin McElwain, Josh Moscovitz and Justin Thorsteinson shared the pitching while Ethan Hong had two hits. Richmond closed out round-robin play with a 19-2 win over Aldergrove backed by strong pitching from Moscovitz

run with a two-RBI drive to right centre field. The Chuckers almost put the game away but for a game-saving, diving, two-out catch by Sexton in right field. The Angels took advantage of the brief opening to tie the game in the top of the seventh inning, but weren’t able to add the go-ahead run due to a heads-up 4-3-2 double-play initiated by Chuckers’ second baseman Andy Loat. The game remained tied at 6-6 until the ninth inning, largely due to solid relief pitching from two lefties: Richmond’s Thorsteinson and Abbotsford’s Carlin Dick. The Chuckers almost won it in the bottom of the eighth inning with the bases loaded, but the Angels made a great play on a hard-hit Suessenbacher-Fu ground ball to end the inning.

Vancouver-based Robert Burton Hubele plays Gulf of Georgia Cannery Aug. 15 by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter It was recorded in a single take in 1964 and became the Animals’ signature song. It also inspired Robert Burton Hubele to make music. The jazz and blues musician developed a love for the blues listening the the radio as a teenager. But it was the song “House of the Rising Sun” that pulled him in further. He just had to learn to play it. Hubele’s pal Butch, a railway co-worker with an electric guitar and amplifier, offered to teach him. It marked the start of a musical life for Hubele, who plays the Gulf of Georgia Cannery next Friday. His Aug. 15 show begins at 6:30 p.m. at the cannery, 12138 Fourth Ave. The concert is rain or shine; admission is by donation. (Tonight, Aug. 8 is the Irish Wakers.) Raised in southern Alberta as the eldest of eight children, the now Vancouver-based Hubele has written and performed songs since 1972. He plays acoustic and electric guitar and slide-Dobro. He’s recorded nine albums, including his latest record Highway of Dreams. Writing songs is Hubele’s way of leaving his mark on the world.

He writes about little things that make a difference. He writes when a song comes to him—about once a month—and spends up to two hours putting a song together. The best ones, he says, often come the fastest. Polishing and learning a song takes a few more weeks, and sharing it can last a lifetime. The Richmond Review asked the self-described “Poet of the Blues” about his musical journey before a Steveston Folk Guild show earlier this year. In a sentence, describe your music? “Original bluesy/jazzy/ country/pop with a strong story line.” What inspires your songwriting? “Mostly the small things in life. Interactions and reactions between people. A dream.” What comes first in songwriting—the story or the music? “The music comes first, usually an interesting lick. If I can get the first two lines the song is written.” Most memorable concert you’ve attended? “BB King at Calgary’s Jubilee Auditorium. I got to meet and speak with BB after the show.” Have you ever taken formal music lessons?

Robert Burton Hubele plays original jazz, blues, country and pop music. He’ll bring his music to the Gulf of Georgia Cannery in Steveston Aug. 15.

“No. I’m entirely selftaught.” Musician you most revere? “My longtime collaborator and coproducer Brad Steckel of Calgary.” How did the Prairies influence your music? “The wide open landscapes and the hard labour jobs I worked, and the people I worked with, became the tapestry upon which I wrote many of my early songs.” You titled your most recent CD Highway of Dreams. Why? “I’ve

been a truck driver and machine operator off and on through most of my life. The song I titled the album after is about having the perfect long-haul experience. It’s a metaphor for the journey I’m on, I guess. It’s not the destination, it’s the ride.” Most unusual place you’ve performed? “In a gangster cafe in northern Holland, where most of the patrons were big, mean and were carrying guns. They liked me, thank heavens.”

Indo-folk rocker heads to Britannia by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a style of music the Billboard charts have yet to recognize. Probably because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s few musical practitioners of Indo-folk, a style belonging to Ranj Singh. Singh, who plays the Steveston Folk Guild Aug. 21, makes music with a distinct Indian flair that draws on the singer-songwriter and self-taught guitaristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for rock music he grew up listening to. The longtime Surrey resident grew up listening to Boston, Meatloaf and Neil Young. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until 1984 that he had an interest in Indian music. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when a friend took him to a concert in Vancouver to see the famed Indian ghazal singer Jagjit Singh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That very same day I said, I have to learn more about what this is all about. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I fell in love with Indian music,â&#x20AC;? he said in an earlier interview with The Richmond Review. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prior to that, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care for it, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play it, listen to it or anything.â&#x20AC;? In the 1980s, Singh performed with Dal Dil Vog (DDV), an award-winning group known for its bhangra-rock music. Now he plays solo gigs and as part of an ensembleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;depending on the venue.

Welcome elcome to the driver’s seat

Visit the 2015 Escalade gallery at DrivewayBC.ca

An Escalade worth the wait Cadillac recently held the introduction of its all-new Escalade in the heart of Toronto, specifically the heart of Yorkville. This upscale slice of Toronto real estate is home to spendy shops, exclusive restaurants and luxurious hotels. This is a place to be seen or be seen in a vehicle that projects the image one wants to portray. Media guests for the Escalade launch stayed at Toronto’s very first boutique hotel, The Hazelton. As one Torontonian put it, “that’s about the fanciest place in town.” It certainly draws an upscale crowd of rich people, or posers, looking the part. With a steady lineup of Ferrari, McLaren and other exotics parked outside, Cadillac was front and centre showing off its new full-size luxury SUV to a young, well-healed crowd of Toronto socialites and business people. Looks Getting a full-size truck into a boutique hotel is like trying to park in one of those parking spots labelled “small car”. To get around this, the party part of the launch was held on a garage rooftop, transformed into a nightclub, complete with gourmet finger food, fancy

Santorelli keeps working to improve NHL standing

New from IKEA:

KÖRPORATE GRËED

by Don Fennell Sports Editor Mike Santorelli appears antsy. During a drill with a small group of fellow pros Wednesday at the Richmond Ice Centre, it seems clear he’s over the injury that cut short last season’s promising campaign with his hometown Vancouver Canucks. But having recently signed a one-year contract to resume his NHL career with the Toronto Maple Leafs, the 28-year-old centre has to prove himself again. “The game is so competitive you’ve always got to prove yourself. And you’ve always got to get better because there’s always someone who want to take your job,” he said following an intense hour-long workout under the guidance of renowned Vancouver Hockey School instructor Derek Popke.

Game of ‘read and react’ demands using off-season to keep honing skills From Page 21

Fortunately Santorelli is used to hard work. Though a prolific scorer at the junior and college level, he was a late pick (sixth round, 178th overall) of the Nashville Predators in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. But armed with a relentless determination and a strong skill set, the swift-skating Santorelli proved quickly to be a proficient scorer at the minor pro level too. His point-a-game pace with Nashville’s American Hockey League affiliate Milwaukee Admirals in 2008-09 (just his second season as a pro) earned him seven games with the Preds that season. The following year he played 25 games in Nashville, but spent most of the 2009-10 season in Milwaukee where he again averaged about a point per game during the season and playoffs. That consistency and promise earned Santorelli a free agent contract with the Florida Panthers in 2010-11,

where in 82 games he scored 20 goals and 41 points. Last year with the Canucks, he was again on pace for a 20-

goal campaign before a season-ending shoulder injury capped the numbers at 10 goals and 28 points in 49 games.

“It’s like a job actually,” said Santorelli. “Some people think you just have the off-seasons to just enjoy, but we’re all coming out here looking to become stronger and faster. I usually start my off-season training in early July, but this year I started a bit earlier just because I got hurt and wanted to get back in shape. The game is about read and react and you’ve got to be sharp because everything is decided in seconds. It’s also a fast, high-tempo game now and you’ve got to be able to skate or you’re going to be in trouble.” This is the first year Santorelli has worked with Popke and appreciates the intense focus of the drills. “A lot of guys spoke highly of him, and after a couple sessions I definitely notice a difference. I’ve learned quite a bit,” he says. “These drills are good for both hand-eye co-ordination and skating.”

sports Players seeking professional instruction to stay ahead of the curve From Page 23

Popke, who for the fourth year in a row skated the Leafs’ prospects and free agents this summer, said Santorelli reflects a rapid-

ly-emerging trend among NHL players who are seeking out intense off-season workouts with professional instructors. Most prefer the detailed instruction to

be one-on-one or in small groups of no more than three or four players. Ironically, the focus on skill development among the pros is the result of the

development model being introduced at the youth level. “Over the last number of years the development model in minor hockey has

changed, to where more youth kids are exposed to detailed instruction from professional coaches,” said Popke. “What’s happening is that as these kids come through the ranks into junior and then get drafted into pro hockey, the NHL guys feel the pressure from the bottom and are looking for ways to stay ahead of the curve. The way they train is a lot different now. They’re getting more into skill development and individual needs (to address) where they feel there is a weakness in their game.”

Popke said few fans realize the many variables that NHL players face to retain their positions, including the physical wear and tear. “Sometimes the window of opportunity is really small,” he said. “In (Santorelli’s) case, he’s going to a new team and they’re going to see where he slots in. He might start on the first line but he’s got to produce within the first five to seven games, whatever the coach decides. It’s tough to do that, especially when you’re still getting to know your line mates, but being

a skilled forward your job is to produce. When you look at the top NHL players they make it look easy, and when you get on the ice with these guys you realize their talent level is through the roof. The other 85 per cent are just trying to keep up, so whatever you can do during the summer to gain even an inch, perhaps learning a different edge control coming out of a turn, helps your game and keeps your job. One thing can help them prolong a season or add two or three years to their careers.”

Wildwood Lakefront Cottages are located on Washington’s Lake Whatcom, just 55 kilometres from the Blaine border. Right on the pristine shores of the lake, families will find plenty of activities, or just the perfect place to relax and enjoy spending time together.

Canadians are discovering Wildwood Lakefront Cottages By Kerry Vital

Washington’s Lake Whatcom is a largely undiscovered gem for Canadians, yet it is only 55 kilometres south of the Blaine border! Lake Whatcom is over 16 kilometres long and a pristine watershed. It serves as the drinking water for nearby Bellingham so it has stringent rules in place to protect it, and that makes swimming and all lake recreation even better. At the south end of the lake on a quiet cove, a family campground called Wildwood has been a popular designation for Canadians since the 1950s. It has recently been redeveloped into a private cottage community and now you can purchase your own family getaway at Wildwood Lakefront Cottages, right on the picturesque shores at South Bay. The natural setting is one of the highlights of Wildwood, with its two streams, huge cedar trees and pristine lake and shoreline. The Canadian developers have added in a tennis/ball hockey court, a swimming pool and hot tub, playground, walking trails, clubhouse, marina, and covered picnic pavilion to complement the lake activities.

“It’s a real family experience,” says Wayne Lyle, the developer’s Canadian spokesperson. “Canadians are buying here for the legacy, for the memories.” One of the big draws for Canadians is that the property is gated and private, has a resident on-site manager, and your landscaping is all looked after. Whether you want to go fishing, take out the canoe or go for an evening swim, you’ll find a ton of outdoor activities available onsite. The private marina has 34 private boat slips and 15 mooring buoys, and a number of guest slips. The cottages themselves are made for cozy family times, with five different floor plans to choose from and three natural colour schemes. The main floor features the living areas, sunny window seats, decked-out kitchens and one bedroom or one-bedroom plus den configurations with sleeping lofts above. “Kids love the sleeping lofts; the ceilings are five feet in height,” Lyle says. “They think it’s built just for them!” While not large in size, these are upscale cottages with hardwood flooring, quartz

countertops, stainless-steel appliances and stone fireplaces. Some of the cottages have rooftop decks that are perfect for star-gazing. Each cottage includes a covered outdoor deck to give you that indoor-outdoor life that everyone loves in the summer, some with an outdoor fireplace. You’ll also find an outdoor wood burning fire pit with every cottage, perfect for lazy fall nights full of stories and s’mores. Wildwood is also fortunate in that it has over 1,700 feet of waterfront; that means the furthest you can get from the lakefront from any cottage is

only 150 yards! “This a great base camp for families,” Lyle says. “With many other Pacific Northwest attractions nearby and with the price of real estate in B.C., this lakefront property is certainly a very attractive alternative!” Lots at Wildwood start at $160,000, and fully finished cottages including lots start at $330,000. For more information, visit www.wildwoodlakefrontcottages.com or call the Canadian office contact number at 1-855-588-7788. The site is open for tours on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., or any time by appointment except Sundays. Call today for an appointment!

The Ismaili Muslim Community of Richmond donated over 3,000 pounds of food during a food drive held during Ramadan. The Richmond Food Bank is grateful for the donation as it comes at the time of year when stocks are at their lowest. It’s another great example of how generous Richmond residents are.

Kudos is a weekly feature showcasing announcements, achievements and good deeds happening around town. E-mail submissions to news@richmond review.com

Concord Pacific teamed up with the Honda Celebration of Light to produce the second annual Seawall Challenge, an urban adventure across Concord’s master-planned community in downtown Vancouver, benefiting after-school programs in the Lower Mainland. This year, Blundell Elementary School in Richmond received a $5,000 donation through its participating team, the Blundell Blunders (pictured). The funds will be used for after school programming and play infrastructure.

Cindy Howard photos Fudgie the guinea pig was treated to a bit of a makeover at the city shelter, operated by Richmond Animal Protection Society. The long-haired animal, which is up for adoption, had an overgrown and matted coat. Enter Gary Franceschini, an expert hair stylist and hair design instructor at Vancouver Community College, who trimmed and styled Fudgie’s hair Sunday. Fudgie now has a fabulous new look—no more bad hair days for her. The No. 5 Road shelter houses lost, abandoned and surrendered dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and other pets. Call 604-275-2036 for more information about pet adoption opportunities.
