All roads led to the Olympics BY MICHELLE HOPKINS
mhopkins@richmond-news.com
January and February was all about Richmond’s role in the Games
January:
# The year began with the Ministry of Education approving a plan to adopt all-day kindergarten in 20 elementary schools. Richmond school district trustee Donna Sargent voiced her concerns as it was expected only half of the students entering kindergarten would get into the program. # The slick scammer with the English accent was back at it again after the News had exposed him 18 months earlier. The professional liar managed to talk many people out of their money with his sob story about needing money to get back home to England to help out a relative. Welder Phillip LaPointe was sucked into handing the con $30 as he walked through the parking lot of Richmond’s Canadian Tire. # The end of the month brought growing excitement for the Winter Games as the countdown clock ticked away. Olympic hopeful, snowboarder Alexa Loo was one of 18 from across Canada to snag a spot on the snowboarding team. # After the earthquake hammered Haiti on Jan. 12, Richmond’s Thad and Sharon Newman waited anxiously for news about children and staff of the Hope Hospital and four orphanage buildings their non-profit organization, Canadian Foundation for the Children of Haiti (CFCH) supports. Luckily, the couple learned that none of the children or staff were lost in the quake and all of its buildings survived intact. # Hot on the heels of the Lenin/Mao public art structure controversy, the city’s Vancouver biennale exhibition came under fire yet again. The fourth large piece of public art by Mexican artist Javier Marin, featuring three large human heads prompted lots of reactions, good and bad, as the News was flooded with letters and calls.
February:
# The Dutch descended on Richmond with 37 containers filled with Dutch house
# American political satirist Stephen Colbert accepted the role of speed skating ombudsman at the Olympic Oval after he accused the Canadian speed skating team of hogging the ice at the oval. Colbert was in town broadcasting segments of The Colbert Report. Colbert was a hit with legions of fans, and he proclaimed British Columbians as “the friendliest people and incredibly easy to pander to.”
CHUNG CHOW/RICHMOND NEWS
Holland Heineken House, above left, and the Richmond Olympic Oval, above right, were the places to be during the 2010 Games as the city went Dutch crazy for two weeks. Below, the City of Richmond’s O Zone celebration site was a massive success at Minoru. fixings for what was to become one of the most anticipated 2010 Winter Games attraction — the Holland Heineken House in Minoru Arenas. The Heineken house team quickly became a recognizable fixture in Richmond dressed as they were in Holland’s national colour — bright orange — and riding around town on bicycles. # During a school board meeting, MacNeill secondary teachers, Tanya Vukoja, Marsha Thompson, Emily Moorhead and Dauvrey MacDonald, were credited with saving the life of a 15-year-old student who collapsed in November and went into cardiac arrest. It was not known what caused Vishan Hettiarachchi to suffer a sudden heart attack
while in Vukoja’s Grade 10 English class. Hettiarachchi and his parents were in the audience to share in the special commendation. # The Olympic torch descended on Richmond on Feb. 9 for the start of its 21-kilometre journey through our city. Game fever reached a frenzy as 70 torch-bearers passed the flame through the city to the O Zone, where Rick Hansen lit the Olympic cauldron. Lit in Olympia Greece in October, the torch travelled 44,000 kilometres across Canada. # A 20-year-old woman and her boyfriend were facing a charge of infanticide after they allegedly threw their full-term newborn son into a dumpster in the
Landfill at Delta’s Burns Bog. The woman was arrested and released with a promise to appear in court. Richmond police said the woman alleged she miscarried in her boyfriend’s Richmond apartment. Rather than call 911, the couple allegedly decided to dispose of the baby boy. Police recommended four counts against her: infanticide, indignity to a dead body, concealing the body of a child and neglect to obtain assistance at birth. # The Dutch further enamored themselves to Richmond by donating 25 bikes to needy local kids. Dutch Rail brought 400 transit bikes with them for Holland House staff use during the Games.
# Canadian speedskater Christine Nesbitt took home the first gold medal on Richmond soil. On Feb. 18, the reigning-world champion captured gold in the 1,000-metre event. Her win marked just the second time in Olympic history a women’s speedskater won gold on her own soil. # On Feb. 18, 300 bar and restaurant workers were locked out of their jobs at Vancouver International Airport by their employer Maryland-based HMS Host. The lock out went on for a week until the company agreed to end the dispute. # Richmond firefighter Teresa Rush broke her silence about the sexual harassment and discrimination she, along with three other female firefighters, suffered at the hand of their male counterparts at Richmond Fire Rescue. Rush had not worked as a firefighter for more than a few months at a time since 2004, due to post traumatic stress disorder she believed was caused, in part, from witnessing a gruesome medical trauma while working in a non-supportive work environment. She said women were considered outsiders by their male counterparts. She wanted the city to make a serious alternative job offer or pay her severance.

March: City buys Garden City lands for $60 million Continued from page 3 oval spectators watched Canadian speedskaters win five medals — two gold, one silver and two bronze.

# The Vancouver Biennale public art piece, Cabeza Vainilla, Cordoba and Chiapas by Mexican artist Javier Marin, was vandalized. The three large heads, which are located underneath the Lansdowne Canada Line station, were found with gaping holes in them.

The board reported teachers needed the extra time as they were dealing with more and more pressure from the Ministry of Education. In a survey, 77 per cent of parents were in favour.

# A Richmond neighbourhood rallied around a single mom fighting cancer and her two children when they were left homeless by a townhouse fire complex. Masumi Sekimoto was one of three low-income families who lost everything. Because Sekimoto was recovering from breast cancer and working only part-time as a cleaner, she had no insurance. Neighbours and church members offered up temporary housing, donations of clothing and furniture, and a bank account was set up for donations. (A week after their story broke in the News, the family was flooded with donations, including $800 and meals prepared by a PAC parent). # Blue Sea Health Spa was the third massage parlour in 10 months to be hauled in front of city council for repeatedly flouting bylaws governing how they operate.

Community centre to get make-over $300,000 set to come from projected new fire hall $1 million surplus BY ALAN CAMPBELL

A 20-year-old building at the Steveston Community Centre is to get a $300,000 makeover. The “tennis building,” as it’s known, was originally designed as a “roof only” structure, but has had add-ons built onto it over the years to accommodate special events. As such, the building is still not completely enclosed and runs up high energy bills as a result and has experienced rodent problems. However, City of Richmond staff have indicated that there could be around $1 million left over in the pot from the current new Steveston Firehall construction project. And a report placed before city council’s general purposes committee this week recommended that $300,000 of that projected surplus be drained off to help bring the tennis building up to standard. “This new scope of work requires specialized trades which cannot be done by Steveston Community Association and is estimated to cost $300,000,” wrote the city’s project manager, Janet Whitehead, in her report. “To replace the building with a new structure of similar size and finishes
would cost approximately $2.88 million.” Whitehead said that the new firehall is around 70 per cent complete and a $1 million surplus is predicted due partly to “accelerated cost escalation in the construction market.” An analysis of the current building indicated a number of life safety issues, such as: Partial failure in the canopy roof beams (twisting); Undersized beams relative to the building code at the time of construction; Inadequate
number of emergency exits for martial arts tournaments and special events. To address the issues, the report calls for: New exit doors; Emergency exit signs; New bracing on the existing cantilevered beams; New concrete grade beams at exit doors; Additional storage on the north side of the building. Committee approved the recommendation to reallocate funds from the firehall project for the tennis building improvements.

animal shelter and provide animal control services. RAPS promised the community they would change the municipal shelter to a no-kill facility, only euthanizing animals that are too sick or injured to recover or who are deemed too dangerous and unstable to allow them to live a quality life. Euthanasia is never used to deal with the massive animal overpopulation in Richmond including the abundance of homeless dogs, cats and rabbits. RAPS has also implemented innovative policies such as a low-cost community spay/neuter program for dogs and cats, dog training classes for the public, special reactive dog-training programs for volunteer dog handlers and worked to stop the retail sale of rabbits and dogs in Richmond. The society is a non-profit organization, operating two shelters in the City of Richmond, the Richmond Animal Shelter and the RAPS Cat Sanctuary Year-end donations can be made to RAPS to support the no-kill sheltering policy in person or online at www.rapsociety.com or by calling the Richmond Animal Shelter at 604-275-2036.

After four years of operating the Richmond Animal Shelter as a no-kill shelter, the Richmond Animal Protection Society (RAPS) is holding a special event on New Year’s Eve. On Friday, Dec. 31, from noon to 3 p.m., RAPS will have an open house and anniversary party to celebrate four years operating a municipal animal shelter under a no-kill policy of animal welfare and rescue, according to a news release from RAPS. The public and Richmond city councillors are invited to join RAPS in marking their fourth birthday by attending the open house and seeing what no-kill sheltering has done for Richmond’s homeless animals. Punch, cookies and other desserts will be served. The public is invited to sign RAPS’ anniversary card by answering the question, “What does having a no-kill animal shelter mean to me?” A volunteer will provide guided tours of the facility. RAPS has operated for 21 years as a no-kill animal rescue organization, but in 2007 was awarded the contract by the City of Richmond to operate the city’s

Drink, just don’t drive If you’re a party animal and you haven’t done so already, it’s not too late to makes plans to survive New Year Eve’s celebrations. It’s always a good idea, after all, to make it all the way home after a party, without killing yourself or someone else … or having to take a side trip to the nearest police station. While B.C.’s solicitor general and others in authority have expressed second thoughts, police officers have demonstrated that they are quite serious about the province’s relatively new drinking-and-driving laws, implemented last September — especially police officers who have grown tired of cleaning up the messes left behind by drunks who were absolutely certain they were “good to drive.” Of course, you could plan to contest the constitutionality of a provincial law that penalizes you below the federal limit of .08 per cent blood alcohol. Good luck. First, you’ll have to ensure you’ve drunk just the right amount of alcohol to put you between .08 and .06 per cent (actually .05 per cent, but breathalyzers have been re-calibrated to provide a margin of error in favour of errant drivers). Otherwise, the federal laws get you anyway. Then you’ll have to make it all the way to a roadblock — or catch the attention of a patrolling officer — without getting into an accident. And you can’t be visibly impaired, otherwise once again, the feds get you. Under the Criminal Code, if you’re impaired, you’re impaired, no matter how little you’ve been drinking. Then you can go through all the inconvenience, expense, and stress of having your car impounded, fetching up a lawyer, preparing for an expensive trial — and keeping your fingers crossed that, in the end, the judge will agree with you. It’s far easier and far less stressful to make arrangements for a safe ride home. And the bonus is that you can enjoy the entire evening without having to cross your fingers. — Langley Advance editorial
CHOICE WORDS
Don’t blame immigrants
The Editor: Re: “Enough of happy holidays,” News, Dec. 24. Like Carlie Holland, I am sick of happy holidays as well. As a Hindu, I feel as though somebody is staring and pointing at me and saying, “It is because of you, the immigrants that we cannot even celebrate the birth of Christ. You screwed it up for us.” I have no idea where my Christian friends picked up this virus that they might end up offending non-Christians if they wished them or each other “Merry Christmas.” I personally know that neither Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, Sikhs and Muslims are anti-Christ, nor do they come from spiritual slums. I celebrate it. You should too. Suresh Kurl Richmond

Female votes key to next leader The role that women voters play in determining who holds political power in this province appears to be taking on added significance. Recent polls show the NDP is experiencing serious slippage in support from women, while the B.C. Liberals are gaining ground in that area. Both the Mustel Group and the Angus Reid polling firms have documented this shift, and it appears linked to both the brutal take-down of a female leader by the NDP, and the departure of Gordon Campbell from the B.C. Liberal leadership. Campbell has long been seen as a liability with women voters, but he was able to get their support when it counted most – at election time. With him leaving the scene, the picture gets rosier for the B.C. Liberals on this front. His potential successors would all appear to be more appealing to women voters, but none more than Christy Clark. In fact, if Clark were to become premier it is likely the Liberals would stand a good chance of corralling a huge chunk of the electorate denied them in the past. I suspect Clark appeals to a lot of young and middleaged women voters who may have harboured suspicions of Campbell. And, for now anyways, Clark appears to be the candidate of choice for both the voting public and those who consider themselves B.C. Liberal supporters. So the table is set for a complete reversal in B.C. politics (as

if that should ever come as a surprise). The NDP has long prided itself as a champion of the interests of women, and it even implemented an affirmative action policy to ensure more female candidates in the last election. But it is now seen as the party that undemocratically turfed a female leader, and it will undoubtedly elect a man to succeed Carole James. Meanwhile, the B.C. Liberals couldn’t be happier about this. The polls show the NDP’s loss in support from women is in the double-digits, as many have gone over to the B.C. Liberals. The significance of this political shift cannot be underestimated. When the B.C. Liberals and NDP square off in elections, the question of which party wins power lies in the hands of several thousand voters. Politicians always talk of the importance of winning the support of the proverbial “soccer mom.” In other words, suburban women with a young family are a key demographic in elections. If the choices are Christy Clark versus Mike Farnworth or Adrian Dix, which party do you think holds the advantage? Now, there is time for
the NDP to recover their support from women. The memories of the ugly ouster of James will fade, and if the B.C. Liberals opt for Kevin Falcon, Mike de Jong or George Abbott as leader the contrast in leadership of the two parties will be less striking. And Clark still strikes me as someone who can come flying into the job with great energy and great positives, only to see things gradually go sour over time. But in this year of great upheaval in B.C. politics keeping track of the female electorate will be fascinating. If the B.C. Liberals were still trailing the NDP by a huge margin in public opinion, the views of women wouldn’t matter so much. But now, with the political scene competitive again, all votes will be critical. History shows it is very difficult for the NDP to gain power in this province. The party’s pool of potential supporters simply isn’t as large as that of its chief opponent. All things must go the party’s way to ensure victory – there has to at least a bit of a vote-split on the centre-right of the political spectrum, and the party has to ensure it gets every single one of its supporters out to the polls. But if the NDP loses even a fraction of its female support, it could cost the party the next election. And as it stands right now, that’s exactly what it’s facing. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

The Editor, I find the several statements about voting age as a means of getting a higher rate of voter turnout somewhat sad and somewhat ironic. When the HST is being debated, why are so few politicians saying what they feel is best for their ridings? Is it that the party says they must represent the party, not the people or be silent? Where were the politicians, who now see voter apathy as a major issue, when we had a genuine chance to increase voter turnout by giving them the choices that many want? The Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform thought long and hard about how to increase voter interest and engagement in the political process in B.C. through the three over-riding values of proportionality, local representation and voter choice. After a year of deliberation in what was the best consultation process done on this issue, they opted for the Single Transferrable Vote as the best means of meeting these values. They recognized that it was somewhat
complicated, but also recognized that voters want true choices to be able to vote for the person and the party to get representation that addresses their issues. Now we hear only about increasing the numbers of voters not increasing the response of voters. If voters are not engaged, the rate of voters who take the time to mark their ballot will not change and may slip further. We need the vision of the Citizens’ Assembly to be supported by the politicians, to be a clearly stated platform plank and to actively engage more voters to allow true representation in our provincial legislature and in our municipalities. Candidates who want better representation through reform of an archaic system to the single transferable vote system or STV need to speak up. What better time than during leadership races in two parties to have the STV brought forward for debate? I await reading how well our leadership candidates understand the democratic process.

within the Agricultural Land Reserve in an area sandwiched between No. 5 Road and Highway 99. Lingyen Mountain Temple’s architect, James Cheng, has agreed Wednesday to withdraw the rezoning proposal to build a 140-foot high five-storey temple, while the review is completed. Carol Day, a school trustee and spokeswoman for the residential group vehemently opposed to the expansion plans, said on Thursday that she is “very worried” about the city’s
decision to review the policy. “I’m scared. What does that mean?” Day said. “The bylaws are written for a reason and they should be upheld. This worries me that they’re thinking of changing the bylaw. “I believe it’s the city’s and council’s responsibility to uphold the bylaw, not change it every time there’s some pressure.” Cheng, the temple’s architect, however, believes the review will be a “great thing” for the community.

Armstrong still skipping
City to review ‘backlands policy’ regarding farming behind Highway to Heaven The contentious plans to expand the Buddhist Lingyen Temple on No. 5 Road have been shelved — for now. The City of Richmond has asked the temple’s architect to temporarily withdraw the application after the city decided this week to launch a comprehensive review of its No. 5 Road Backlands Policy. The policy allows assembly uses, including religious institutions, to locate on property

Larger than life ... No, your eyes are not deceiving you, 91-year-old Gerald Goveil’s homemade bike is actually more than six feet tall and ten feet long. The retired firefighter and Second World War veteran — who still runs a workshop from his Westminster Highway home in East Richmond and restores vintage Model Ts — made the contraption himself “for fun.”

“We want to fit into the community and want to fit into the vision of that community, whatever that may be,” he said. Cheng said that he wasn’t at all confident that the review would actually help his application. “I didn’t realize that it’s been 20 years (since the policy was created),” he added. “But the purpose of the temple is to serve the community.” Richmond first adopted its No. 5 Road Backlands Policy in 1990. see Temple opponent page 3
Jim Armstrong — Richmond’s skip of Canada’s gold-winning Paralympic curling team — will find out this weekend if his national playing career is over. The Canadian Curling Association (CCA) has allowed Armstrong to continue representing Canada — including in Richmond last month — despite the 59-year-old gold-medal winner pleading guilty in October to selling and dispensing counterfeit Viagra and Cialis. But the News has learned that the CCA’s committee and its stakeholders have completed their review into Armstrong’s off-ice indiscretions and have finalized a “course of action” on the curling hero’s future on the national stage. Greg Stremlaw, the CCA’s chief executive officer, told the News that Armstrong has been made aware of the committee’s decision. “Mr. Armstrong is still a part of Team Jim Armstrong Canada and the team program,” he said. “The stakeholders have reviewed the details and met over the situation. A formal and comprehensive review of the situation has been taken and we’ve just recently communicated our assessment to the athlete. “He has been made aware of it and we anticipate there will be more discussions with him to follow this week. It would be premature to comment on what that course of action is until the athlete has had a chance to respond.” see Armstrong page 4

Have you ever taken the time to investigate who you are? I don’t mean the typical response, such as ‘My name is John Brown, I’m 36 years old and live in Richmond.’ What I’m asking is what are the KEEP IT values you hold in life, are you authentic in the way you live in the world and do your honour yourself? I believe everything is created out of consciousness and it’s only our personalities and bodies that make us appear different. As we live the human experience with thoughts related to the identification of who we think we are along with attachments to families, jobs, concepts and belief systems the choice arises to investigate and discover if you are being true to yourself and your values during difficult times. How many of you have lost a job, relationship, family members, friends or had some significant change occur in your life to discover you no longer have a reference point in which to identify yourself now that object has been removed? Although these situations can be frightening to experience when you don’t know who you are and have no reference point, they can actually open up the possibility for you to discover deeply who you are. Many people have ‘aha’ moments during these very experiences that change their lives forever. I’m sure we would all agree there have been moments in our lifetime where we ignored our own values to accommodate oth-
ers or to keep the peace. There is nothing wrong with that but when a situation arises that brings the choice of being true to your own self or surrendering to someone else’s vision of who you should be, then it might be time to ask yourself SIMPLE ‘Who am I?” I have met many people who have told me throughout their lifetime they constantly, not occasionally but constantly, sacrificed their own values and eventually the day comes when your own heart calls and says ‘I can no longer do this, I can no longer betray my self.” When we come to this realization it can bring up emotions. My suggestion is to be present with the emotion and let it move through the body without resistance. It will go in its own time. When we choose the path of self love we begin to live our life from a healthier, peaceful place and those in our life benefit from us being in the world in this way. Take some quiet time and ask yourself what is it you really want? Practice being mindful. Watch when situations occur in your life and recognize when you are not being authentic. Authentic is being ‘genuine or real, not false or copied’. The more your practice mindfulness the more you will notice when you are not in alignment with your higher self. Make a decision today to keep your life simple by living an authentic life and then discover who you are. Lorraine Wilson is a Richmond resident, guest speaker and group facilitator.

savings of $45,000, making the real cost of the $50,000 charitable gift only $5,000. Flow-through share purchases should be assessed to ensure that potential tax advantages are not just apparent. These shares are usually issued at a price higher than the market price of the underlying common shares. The size of this premium, combined with various fees, will have an impact on the real value of the favourable tax treatment. And, liquidity can be a problem if investors need to sell in a hurry. 12290817
As the year draws to a close, investors focus on their tax planning. While many have been working on tax-loss selling strategies, others have been examining flowthrough opportunities to FINANCES help defer and save taxes. Since a number of companies have been coming out with new flow-through share financings, we should review their structure. Used correctly, flow-through shares can be an excellent tax-planning tool. Early-stage Canadian resource companies can fully deduct certain exploration expenses, which “flow through” to investors who use these special deductions against their own income. In most cases, this can be up to 100 per cent of the amount invested. Investors can take taxable income from a current year and convert it to capital gains taxable in the future. Due to the preferential tax treatment of capital gains, the adjusted cost base of the flow-through shares is low or nil. Investors have the flexibility of offsetting capital gains backward three years or forward indefinitely. Flow-through shares can reduce the cost of philanthropy. Donated to qualified charities, they provide investors with the same tax credit as if they had made a straight cash donation. Investors also benefit from the tax deduction they receive when buying the flow-through shares, and the combined tax savings can be significant. Let’s look at an investor with a marginal tax rate of 45 per cent who makes an initial flow-through investment of $50,000, and assume the entire initial investment was deducted over the life of the flow-through. The total tax savings from deductions would be $22,500. If the market value at maturity were still $50,000, with the 45 per cent rate applied the tax savings from the charitable donation would be $22,500. That’s a total tax
Flow-through shares are complex investments most suitable for investors subject to the highest marginal tax rate. Investors should have a high degree of risk tolerance and should be comfortable with small-cap junior resource companies. Investors may wish to diversify their risk with flowthrough limited partnerships, which provide a basket of flow-through shares actively monitored by professional managers.

We are going away to Hawaii for our holidays and want to know as to what kind of travel insurance is appropriate."
A
This type of insurance is just fundamental. I wish it was called 'out of province' medical insurance as BC Medical insurance does not pay the full medical bills for incidents outside of BC. The cost is probably the least expensive of all the types of insurance there is, premiums start as low as about a $1 a day. The basic needed is excess hospital & medical which provides funds for costs above the amounts BC Med covers which is < $100 outside the province. Other types of coverages available are annual plans, baggage, cancellation, accident and sickness. Definitely do not leave the province with out at least the basic coverage; call us with any questions about this topic. Season's Greetings

Yes, the majority of lenders will accept funds that are a gift from family as a down payment. A gift letter signed by the family member is usually required to confirm that the funds are not required to be paid back. In most instances in addition to the “gift” letter, a copy of the home buyer's bank statement showing the funds being deposited are needed as well. This is often a requirement of Canada Mortgage and Housing.

Q
Because of the holidays I quite often feel very stressed, plus the decreased hours of daylight affects me in a negative way. Any suggestions?
A
We equate the holidays with excesses of food, drink and insufficient sleep. To bring balance to the season and maintain good health, try "food tasting"or samplings of the yummies rather than full servings; the 2nd and 3rd drinks to be a seltzer and then, you leave early enough to get the necessary 7-8 hours of sleep. Substitute Soy Nog for Egg Nog. Partake in a midday walk to enjoy the available sunlight. Our nature follows the seasonal changes. We naturally need more sleep during winter months. To defy our nature is a major stress to the body. We wish everyone good health and happiness while enjoying the celebrations of the season.
On a property purchase, how is title actually transferred to me and how is ownership registered if there are two or more buyers?
A
Title to property is conveyed under a Deed or Transfer from the seller to the buyer. The contract for sale will usually provide that the seller is to convey fee simple title. This is the highest form of title. If there is more than one buyer, title can be taken as joint tenants or as tenants-in-common. If it is desired that title be as joint tenants, this must be specified on the Transfer, otherwise the law presumes title is taken as tenantsin-common. Joint tenancy carries with it the right of survivorship, that is, upon the death of one joint tenant, the entire tenancy goes to the survivors, and so on until the last survivor.
Q
How do I choose the right tires?
A
There is a lot of info out there about wheels and tires. Find a shop you can trust that services cars like your make and model and understands specific nuances about it. Choose tires for your typical road conditions, driving style and seasonal needs. A good shop will look at and ask questions about your needs. Do your research. Go on line to cars forums and opinion sites. Don’t skimp on cost. Your tires are the only thing between you, your car, and the road. Get the best you can afford that fit your wheels and car properly. Stay with tried and true brands. If you don’t want to put a lot of effort into deciding, go with what the manufacturer specified on the original vehicle. They did their homework already. Keep your tires properly inflated and rotated for the best ride, handling, and fuel economy.

(Right) Mark Pearlman scores his team’s second goal as Richmond rolled to a 6-1 victory over the Tri-Cities Jr. Americans in AAA action Monday night to improve to 2-0 in round-robin play.

Woodley earns spot on Winter Games ringette team
Richmond player named to Team B.C. final roster after surviving selection process that got underway in June 2009 It was a journey that began 18 months ago for Melissa Woodley and, to this day, she still can’t let out a sigh of relief. The ringette standout was among 16 players recently named to Team B.C. for the upcoming 2011 Canada Winter Games in Halifax — concluding an intense selection process. However, before Woodley can celebrate the highlight of her athletic career, she must first must prove she is healthy enough at a Team B.C. training camp in Richmond this weekend. The 16-year-old has had back trouble and the injury flared up after taking a hit during a tournament in Regina. It forced Woodley to sit out the team’s final two competitions but she was still selected to the roster. “The coach told me they had faith in me

She admits the Team B.C. tryout process was somewhat of an emotional roller coaster ride with some of Lower Mainland teammates making the final roster and others not. “That’s what made it tough was your friends getting cut then seeing them at practice. It was a little awkward,” said Woodley of the tryouts. “With so many skilled defenders, I had to work very hard and stay focused.” It was a school take home flyer that piqued Woodley’s interest in ringette and she has been hooked on the sport since despite giving girls ice hockey a try. “I did play girls spring hockey but I just prefer ringette and the speed of the game, especially at the top level,” added Woodley, who is also an accomplished field hockey player. “It’s just so much faster.”

Selects finished strong for the well-deserved 2-1 victory. “It has been quite satisfying to have seen the 12 players compete in each of the games to this point,” said coach Clike Clarke. “They always need to compete as their opponents are motivated to measure themselves against them.” The players have received much praise for their fastpaced, possession style of soccer which has resulted in over 30 goals for and just eight against. A busy second half of the second half of the season will include cup play and a trip to Las Vegas, to take part in a college showcase tournament.

When the second half resumed, the Selects continued to press and were soon rewarded when forward Summer Clarke ran at the North Shore defense and laid a pass off for midfielder Natasha Magnus to finish nicely past the Caps goalie. Richmond crafted a second goal after Monika Levarsky went on one of her runs through the midfield and passed through for Clarke to blast a shot off the Caps goalie and in.

The Richmond Red Hot Selects took on 12 opponents during the first half of the season and beat them all to remain firmly entrenched atop of the very competitive U16 division of the Metro Girls Soccer League. The Red Hot Selects latest game saw them host the North Shore Caps at the Hugh Boyd turf for a rare Friday night encounter. The Selects started off strong and earned the first scoring chance when a pass from forward Alura Castle found teammate Amrit Berar who shot just wide from 12 yards out. Richmond’s fine play continued with defenders Ashley Chen, Alyssa Graeme, Brenda Murillo, and Justine Do keeping tight form at the back in preventing North Shore forwards from making any trouble for goalie Joscelyn Wallace. Another Richmond scoring chance was created from a corner when a header by Do narrowly missed the far post from six-yards out, just 10 minutes before the
