Rescued: Elementary staff save mamma’s little ducklings Principal scooped up new ‘students’ who fell into manhole BY ALAN CAMPBELL

School principal, Larry Hurst, left, and a team of Westwind elementary teachers rescued a flock of ducklings from down a manhole in the school’s centre quadrant.

Teachers and staff at Westwind elementary won’t usually tolerate students beaking off when things don’t go their way. But school principal Larry Hurst and his team took a sympathetic view when eight little “students” arrived unexpectedly on the weekend. For the staff at the Steveston school banded together to free a trapped family of newborn ducklings from a manhole in their schoolyard. No one at Westwind was even aware duck eggs had been laid in its enclosed quadrant in the centre of the school. And the freshly hatched baby ducks were only discovered on Sunday by a member of staff. By Monday, however, the ducklings had disappeared, leaving only a distressed momma duck in the quadrant. “We realized that the ducklings had somehow fallen four feet down the manhole,” said Hurst. “The ducklings were in distress and it took

about 15 minutes to get the manhole cover off and get the ducklings out. “I was the one who reached down and scooped them out, but it was a real team effort.” Hurst said the school is now trying to work out what to do with them. “We’ve contacted the wildlife rescue people and they said it might distress them further to move them,” he said. “So, right now we’re feeding them and giving them water as they’re not able to fly out.”

CRIME

Man faces 10 charges for kidnapping, hostage taking Bullet shot from apartment went through wall, narrowly missed police and ended up in neighbour’s apartment A man is facing 10 charges, including kidnapping and attempted murder, after an apparent hostage-taking drama. James Roper, 38, is alleged to have kidnapped and held a woman, understood to be his partner, hostage in an apartment block. When police arrived at the door to respond to a report of a domestic disturbance, Roper is alleged to have shot a bullet through the wall of the apartment, narrowly missing a police officer and going

through the wall of another apartment. After the shot was fired in the 7200 block of Lindsay Road — just south of the Granville and Railway avenues intersection — on June 7, emergency response teams (ERT) arrived and sealed off the area. Nearby Burnett secondary was locked down for almost two hours as RCMP officers attempted to communicate with Roper inside the Sussex Square building. They finally talked him out without incident almost six hours later. Charges of kidnapping, unlawful confinement, assault, sexual assault, unau-

thorized possession of a firearm, possession of a prohibited firearm, discharging a firearm, discharging a firearm with intent and two counts of attempted murder have been approved. “We are extremely fortunate that no one was injured or killed,” said Cpl. Sherrdean Turley, of Richmond RCMP. Roper is known to police and has an extensive criminal history. He will appear back in court Thursday. Richmond RCMP said it would like to thank the community members and volunteers who assisted police during the incident.

Brave teen ‘sickened’ by hero tag Dean Seskin saved good Samaritan from Stanley Cup riot mob BY ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

Dean Seskin waded into the baying Stanley Cup riot mob to pluck to safety a good Samaritan who was being viciously attacked. But 18-year-old Richmondite Seskin cringes when he hears the word “hero” being banded around. In fact, he’s disgusted by it. “He was going to get killed or something in there. “I didn’t mind getting hit, it was no big deal, so I had no hesitation,” Seskin said. “If other people in the crowd had put down their phones and helped, it might have been different. “I wasn’t scared. But it was upsetting that everyone else just kept shooting with their phones so they could get the best Facebook videos. It’s sickening that what I did is being called heroic. It should be normal.” As the post-Game 7 riot was preparing to ignite, Seskin — who’s studying political science at UVIC — had been walking along Georgia Street in Downtown Vancouver, trying to get to a train station when he heard windows being broken at The Bay. “I looked over and I saw this one guy (Robert MacKay) trying to stop people from looting,” Seskin recalled.

An abundance of fresh air, recreation facilities and level terrain may be some of the reasons why Richmond has the lowest obesity rate in Canada, residents say. According to a joint report issued Monday from the Canadian Institute for Health Information and the Public Health Agency of Canada, one in four adults are now obese. In Richmond, however, just five per cent of adults — one in 20 — are obese. While the report doesn’t say why the community beats even fitness-

Darrel Seskin didn’t want his son Dean to go downtown for Game 7. But he’s proud of his son for risking his safety to help another man who, while trying to stop people from looting a store, was attacked by the crowd. “He was the last line of defence. I saw one guy charge at him with a pole and that’s what kicked it off.” As the thugs pounced on MacKay — forcing him to the ground and raining down punches and kicks to his head and body — Seskin pushed his way through the crowd to save MacKay from a more severe beating. A YouTube video clearly shows

Seskin, wearing a gas mask he’d found earlier and an old style yellow Canucks jersey and helped by another man, pulling people off a bloodied and dazed MacKay. “They just grabbed him and I could see what was going to happen and that’s when I realized that I need to get in there,” Seskin said. see Seskin page 6

crazy Vancouver, which stands at 6.2 per cent, jogger Shable Cheng-Yuan Hszgh said it’s all about the fresh air. “We like to exercise: walking, jogging or any exercise,” he said near the entrance to the city’s West Dike Trail. Gesturing to the tall grass and cattails swaying alongside the Fraser River, he added, “It feels very isolated here. It’s easy to get outside.” According to estimates by researchers, the equivalent of 405,000 cases of male obesity, and 646,000 cases of obesity in women could potentially be “altered or averted” if inactive Canadians did at least 15 minutes of low-impact activity a day, such as walking.

A McRoberts secondary student was arrested at school on Thursday as a result of his alleged involvement in the Stanley Cup riots. The student, who cannot be named due to his age, came to the attention of police after he was identified in a YouTube video smashing the window of a BMO bank with a hockey stick. McRoberts principal Craig Svalestuen said he called the RCMP after he was sent a couple of anonymous emails with attached links to video clips showing one of his students involved in the violence downtown. RCMP officers attended the last day of school on Thursday to question the student. “I contacted the police as soon as I received these emails in the morning,” said Svalestuen. “This really is a police matter. There is no story as far as McRoberts is concerned.” When asked if he was shocked to learn that one of his students may have been involved in the mayhem, Svalestuen said, “I’m shocked at all of the things that took place in Downtown Vancouver.” Svalestuen would not make any comment directly related to the student, see Police page 4

quality” diets by eating more fruits and vegetables, potentially 265,000 fewer men, and 97,000 fewer women, would be obese. The report was quickly attacked by obesity experts as simplistic and misleading, arguing it risks leading to more discrimination against the overweight. “The notion that 15 minutes of extra activity and eating more fruits and vegetables will have any noticeable impact on this epidemic is both simplistic and misleading,” said Dr. Arya Sharma, professor of medicine and chairman in obesity research and management at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. Many underlying drivers contribute to obesity, he said -including mental-health issues and the fact people are sleeping less and working longer hours. Researchers are exploring whether obesity starts in the womb. “All of this is completely ignored when you bring it down to diet and exercise,” Sharma said.

Continued from page 3 “You always see a lot of people out here,” Maureen Wielens said. “It’s flat, which makes it easier to bike across the dike. “I wouldn’t be getting on a bike if I had to go up a hill,” she laughed. The low rate of obesity in Richmond and neighbouring Vancouver stand in stark contrast to other regions of Canada, where rates shoot as high as 32 per cent in Kings County, P.E.I., and nearly 36 per cent in the northern Mamawetan/Keewatin/Athabasca region of Saskatchewan. Between 1981 and 2009, obesity — based on actual measures of height and weight, and not people self-reporting their weight — roughly doubled across all age groups, and tripled for youth aged 12 to 17. When figures for obesity are combined with those for being overweight, 62 per cent of Canadians overall weigh more than they should. In addition to an increase in exercise, researchers say if people improved “poor-

But she urged people to contact the VPD, Richmond RCMP or Crimestoppers if they have information about one of the rioters. “We can relay the information to the VPD, or people can contact us if they feel more comfortable,” she added. “This is not just a Vancouver issue, this is provincial and this will be a continued effort over the next little while.” Although the News cannot name the student in question, it hasn’t stopped people commenting about him on YouTube.

Halsey-Brandt lone voice against ‘the flip of a coin’ If two candidates tie for a place on city council after this fall’s civic election, they will draw lots to decide the winner. The current city council made the call Monday after staff surveyed all Metro Vancouver municipalities and realized that everywhere — apart from Burnaby and Richmond — decided tied votes by a random draw. When it was highlighted that the current city bylaw requires the entire election to be re-run at a cost of around $250,000, council decided that drawing lots would serve the community better. Even though the chances of such a tie are remote — it happened in Hope and Whistler in 2002 — not everyone was happy to let Lady Luck decide who sits on council. “I don’t think democracy will be served by the flip of a coin or drawing straws,” Coun.

The new signalized scramble crosswalk planned for No. 1 Road and Moncton Street will have an artistic pattern, which came about through a contest held by the City of Richmond. In late 2010, the Historic Steveston Contest was launched to find a pavement-top art design for the intersection upgrade. There were 70 designs submitted by people who live, work or go to school in Richmond. The contest was open to people of all ages and was not limited to just artists and designers.

Continued from page 3 “I just tried my best to get in there between them and Robert and make a shield around him, as he had been sprayed by mace and couldn’t protect himself.” As the mob backed off a little, the pair managed to get MacKay — who works as a chef at the River Rock casino in Richmond — to his feet and drag him to safety. Seskin and the other man, Chris McLelland, then carried MacKay through the crowd. “No one was helping. All the cops said was that he seemed OK now and the mace would wear off soon,” Seskin said. “We sat with him for almost an hour to make sure he was OK, then he left to meet his girlfriend.” When Seskin finally got home later that night, he merely told his dad, Darrel, that he’d helped a guy who was hurt and who’d been sprayed with mace. It wasn’t until two days after the riot that the full extent of his bravery went public. “My dad called me to say I was on YouTube. I was worried, because you never know how you are going to be portrayed,” Seskin said. “I was scared that I might be shown to be participating.” Thankfully, an accurate account of what Seskin actually did was what was exploding on his Facebook page, with messages of congratulations pouring in from around the continent. “(Dad) was very proud, but he said that I could have got seriously hurt,”

Fifteen seconds of shame Vancouver’s now infamous hockey riot could just as easily have been dubbed the Facebook/YouTube/Twitter riot. Drunken fools behaving badly isn’t exactly a new phenomenon. What’s different this time is the proliferation of social media postings that both documented and spurred on their antics. That kind of mass citizen surveillance is very much a doubleedged sword. As some of the rioters have discovered, anonymity is impossible when photos of your misdeeds have already gone viral online. But for other goons, knowing their acts would be videotaped and re-posted by the crowd just added to the rush of starring in their own riot reality TV show. How else to explain the photos of people posing for the cameras near burning police cars or brandishing looted mannequins? Even those who weren’t participating in the riot hung around long after it was clear they should leave, not wanting to miss a piece of this sorry street theatre. Mainstream media also haven’t been guiltless in this cult of me-focused thrill seeking, exhorting their readers and viewers to send in their best riot clips. Now, of course, the same I-was-there impulse has quickly turned on these performers, with citizen snitches outing rioters in online blogs — with little regard to accuracy or the ages of those involved — whose exploits will now follow them like an electronic tattoo. Those who’ve grown up in the any-attention-is-good-attention era may now discover how bad that 15 seconds of re-tweeted fame can be.

My city came through

The Editor, “Yikes! Not our Vancouver!!??” This was the subject line of an email I received from a friend traveling overseas. She’d just seen the riots on TV. No, I replied, not our Vancouver just a very few deeply disturbed individuals who decided to give this fair city a black eye. It was a young man who started the clean up crew . . . he was shown on TV, as the riots were fizzling out, his arms full of garbage, pleading to others, with such a passion, to come out to help . . . like someone had defecated in his house and he was responsible to clean it up . . . now that’s Vancouver. It was said that 12,000 volunteers came into the city for the organized clean up . . . that’s Vancouver! Young people who had deliberately caught images of the hoodlums on their cell phones to pass on to the VPD sat up all night downloading them to their computers... searched the internet for those who had brazenly posted their criminal activities and downloaded those images before the criminals could erase them . . . now that’s Vancouver! The VPD set up a website and email address for those who had pictures and information to get it to them . . . that’s Vancouver. Mayor Robertson and Premier Clark vowed to bring every single one of those people to justice to send the message that this will never happen here again . . . that’s Vancouver. And, oh yes, about our amazing fabulous Canucks!! Our local radio stations and TV channels opened their lines to the public who expressed their deep love, allegiance and appreciation to our Canucks for the amazing season us hockey fans had the privilege to be integrally part of and the majority of us peacefully celebrated. That’s the Vancouver I know and love. Audrey Truth Richmond

Riot reaction affects Clark, Robertson The huge public outpouring of rage in response to the Vancouver riot may shake things up in a number of areas – not the least of which is the political arena. Two politicians in particular have been front and centre in response to the riot, and the popularity and credibility of each of them may be impacted in different ways. Premier Christy Clark was quick to correctly gauge the public mood when she warned the rioters they would be pursued and prosecuted. Sounding like a marshal from the Wild West, she sent her you-canrun-but-you-can’t-hide message in blunt, even threatening fashion. In any other situation, her aggressive insistence on laying charges and seeking jail sentences may have seemed a bit intrusive to the criminal justice system. But given the widespread revulsion towards the antics of the rioters (or, as they are now more commonly called, “losers” or “jerks” or “morons”) I don’t think anyone is going to go after the premier on this one. However, her demand that justice be swiftly handed out also served as a timely reminder of some of the problems that exist in the justice system, and how many of them can be laid at the feet of her government. Just days before the riot, several serious criminal trials were delayed because judges say there aren’t enough sheriffs to guarantee safety in the courtrooms.

Keith Baldrey IN THE HOUSE

The attorney general’s ministry has failed to fund more than 30 sheriff positions. This gave NDP leader Adrian Dix the perfect opening to demand restored funding for sheriffs. The contradiction between the premier demanding a whole bunch of new prosecutions at the same time her government is being accused of frustrating justice being carried out was readily apparent. The premier has now set the bar quite high. She has demanded prosecutions for charges that most likely will turn out to be a bunch of break-and-enters and mischief counts, but if funding problems allow a murder trial to go sideways she may find that being a tough lawand-order premier demands some consistency. Throw in the fact that our jails are already overcrowded and understaffed, and the prospect of several hundred moronic rioters tying up the system even more over relatively minor charges, the end result may not be as appealing as first thought. The other politician with some potentially large amount of political capital at stake here is Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, who is perhaps in a more vulnerable position.

While Robertson was also quick to correctly align himself with public opinion, the fact that his city’s police department is fending off criticism over how it handled the riot can blow back on the mayor. The premier has announced there will be an independent, external inquiry into the riot, and that will touch on such issues as police preparedness and response. If any evidence emerges that suggests funding pressures for the police department in any way influenced the outcome of the riot, things could get very sticky for the mayor. The police have been criticized for not having enough officers on hand the night of the riot, and for their benign response, which included not helping small businesses (and their staff) while their stores were being ransacked and looted. I’m not sure when the external inquiry wraps up its work, but keep in mind Robertson and his Vision Vancouver council colleagues face an election in November. They had all better hope nothing negative arises from that inquiry, because if something bad does emerge, it may give the rival NonPartisan Association, which has been on life support for several years, the kind of issue it has been searching for so desperately to allow it to get back on its feet. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global BC.

Pre-K to Grade 12 Grammar

Riots: shameful, pathetic The Editor, After seeing the riots occurring Wednesday night after the game, I am absolutely horrified by the inappropriate behaviour and riots happening downtown. Store windows smashed, cars getting turned over, fire set to different places, and fighting. What exactly is this?

What has happened to good sportsmanship and being the good people that we were? I find it extremely hard to believe that these are people from Vancouver! I just find it downright pathetic and shameful to our city. This is an extremely shameful replay of what happened in 1994 and still people haven’t learned.

Shame on you rioters. You have absolutely no respect to our wonderful city. I just hope you will have learned your lesson in time for next year’s playoffs, and also on behalf of those troublemakers, I’d like to apologize to our city. Patrick Shr, 13 Richmond

The Editor, I am writing to you because I want to talk to you about the riot that happened after the Stanley Cup game. I am upset that adults were wrecking and destroying Vancouver just because the Canucks lost against the Boston Bruins and they came

in second place. I do not think the people in the riot are good Canucks fans because good Canucks fans are proud and happy for whatever place their team comes in and if they win or lose. I am also sad because the adults were not showing a good example for children like me. I feel sad and angry because they destroyed a beautiful city. They are not showing that they are Canucks fans. Jessica Agregado

and 20 per cent of girls are home alone after school for the majority of the week. I’ve been teaching for 20 years. I’m happy for the students who are lucky enough to have two parents home to take them on outings to the beach and go fishing. My heart breaks for those whose parents are refugees, or speak no English, and the working poor who live in subsidized housing and count themselves lucky to have a job. Those are my students.

Students need support, not criticism The Editor, Re: “Not all kids waste break,” Opinion, June 1. I advocate for under-privileged youth when I recommend restoring public school funding so students can attend for less minutes/day and more days/year. In 2007, the United Way partnered with the UBC in a research project called Middle Childhood Inside and Out. It was found that almost 30 per cent of Grade 7 students surveyed could not identify a single important adult in the neighborhood to whom they could turn. In addition, about 25 per cent of boys

Adults, you need to smarten up The Editor, I am writing to you because I’m disappointed in how the people acted after the Stanley Cup game. I did not like that those people called themselves fans when they destroyed my favourite Chapters book store and many other stores. I’m upset that grown ups acted so immature. I’m in Grade 3 and I don’t even act like that! A good fan doesn’t destroy a city. A good fan does congratulate the other team. This damage affected so much.

Event poorly planned The Editor, Perhaps the one good thing that will come out of the Ships to Shore festival is that it will provide the City of Richmond with a list of worst practices that will help it to avoid staging such a poorly planned and executed event in the future. For the city to expect that grass seed would germinate in less than a week and a half, or that the chemical mix of seed and fertilizer they applied to the areas of Garry Point Park they had denuded of vegetation to obtain good sight lines would appear attractive to people attending the festival (or to park users afterwards) is beyond comprehension – especially as city workers drove trucks across the seeded areas until the day of the event. It’s equally mind boggling that city planners thought closing 7th and 4th avenues would resolve traffic and parking problems. They might want to talk to the residents of Broadway, Richmond and Garry streets, whose driveways were blocked and grass boulevards damaged, or the owners of the strata and apartment complexes on 7th who were forced to hire security to keep illegal parkers out of their

Merchants struggled during festival

lots. If only the city had taken the time to plan Ships to Shore, or even to let the grass grow in the park before they staged it, we might not be left with an ugly, viewblocking and dangerous pier in Garry Point Park, beaches that are littered with wood scraps instead of logs and driftwood, or a chemical/seed mixture throughout the park that will be blown away in the summer drought. How the mayor and council could have supported the construction of a $1.5-million pier stuck out in the current, subject to damage from floating logs and debris, which will likely be permanently closed to public access to limit the city’s liability, (although the barriers and signs on the ramps won’t stop young people from going out on the pier) I don’t know. What I do know, however, is that if the mayor and current council do not commit to removing this eyesore and restoring Garry Point Park to its pre-festival condition, I will be voting for a full new slate of councillors come November. Terry Davis Richmond

The Editor, Re: “Ships to Shore a tall order,” Letters, June 15. I just wanted to say I agree wholeheartedly with Maxine Barclay’s letter. A point I would like to add as a merchant in Steveston village is the total disregard to the merchants of the village by having the Farmers Market on both Saturday and Sunday of the Tall Ships visit that weekend. It always seems that the market gets the people on market day and the Steveston merchants get the constant traffic jam. Frankie Neilson The Beatmerchant Steveston Village

How to care for someone with hearing loss As promised in the last “corner” here are some great tips for communicating with a hard of hearing (HOH) person. Oh, did you watch your favorite TV show with the volume turned completely off? If you didn’t, do yourself a learning favor and go for it. Also please pass this information on to someone who might benefit. We’re trying to change the

world. So here goes with the tips: 1. This is a phenomenon that many people don’t know about. Gently touching the hard of hearing persons arm

actually improves their hearing. Why — because it tells them that you care about them — enough that you’re going to do everything possible to help them hear what you are saying. 2. Look directly at the person while speaking. Even a slight turn of the head or putting your hands in front of your mouth can obscure the person’s vision. 3. Speak slowly and clearly, and don’t over exaggerate the words. 4. Speak slightly louder and ask the person if you’ve got the right volume.

5. Body language and facial expression are important. Use what works. 6. Maintain eye contact with the hard of hearing person. 7. If the person has not understood you, rephrase your thoughts rather than repeating the same words. 8. Don’t be embarrassed about communicating with paper and pencil. Sometimes it’s a relief for both people. 9. Not all hard of hearing people communicate the same way. It’s a good rule of thumb to experiment until both people are comfortable. 10. People’s accents are a problem. Go slowly and get out a pen. 11. Work extra hard to help a hard of hearing person at meetings or social events. It’s worth the extra effort. 12. Accusations that the

hard of hearing person hears only what he or she wants to are unjust. In order to pick up information they have to concentrate harder and tire easily. So in actuality, they do hear only what they can. Ones ability to hear changes with each situation. 13. Be patient. The more relaxed and accepted the hard of hearing person feels the more they can communicate. 14. Find out if they have a “good” ear and speak to that side. 15. A deadpan face makes hearing more difficult. 16. Hearing loss need not mean loss of fun. Theatre, music, dancing can all, with a little forethought, be a part of life. 17. Most important of all don’t give up. If you give up on communicating, you give

up on the person. We have many more tips to give you. But that’s enough for this “corner”. Thanks for reading this, thanks for putting it into practice and thanks for passing it along.

Richmond-born filmmaker Cole Walliser directs Katy Perry as she pops out to discover cotton candy clouds, or “Candyfornia Land” during a filming of a music video for her upcoming tour.

McRoberts grad videotaping stars in Hollywood Local boy, Cole Walliser, creates music videos for top pop sensations Katy Perry, P!nk, Britney Spears BY MICHELLE HOPKINS

mhopkins@richmond-news.com

While creating an Alice in Wonderland-type scene, music video director Cole Walliser explains to pop sensation Katy Perry what she is seeing when she comes out of the “rabbit hole.” “She pops out of what is really a cat door and discovers the cotton candy clouds, which we call Candyfornia Land,” said Steveston-born-and-raised Walliser. “We shot mostly 17 to 18 hour days to create videos for Katy’s upcoming tour.” The News reached Walliser at his adopted home in Los Angeles. He just wrapped up a number of videos, which will be shown on three large screens behind Perry during her upcoming California Dreams World Tour, which includes a concert in Vancouver on July 19. Only 29, Walliser is already making a name for himself in the industry. Singing stars such as Britney Spears, P!nk and Whitney Houston have hired him to create their music videos. Walliser’s big break came in

2008. A dance friend asked the young, aspiring videographer if he would be interested in shooting dance videos for young pop sensation Miley Cyrus. “A friend was choreographing Miley’s work and asked me to be involved in some dance videos,” he said. “I understood dance because I’d worked with so many dancers so that helped me tremendously in my work.” From there, word spread about his talent and innovative ideas. Walliser said he couldn’t remember a time when he wasn’t interested in filmmaking. “When I was 14, I started filming skateboarding at the Richmond skateboarding park,” said the McRoberts graduate, adding he was involved in the design of the park. “For some reason, my friends would always hand me a camera and ask me to videotape them … I guess I had a knack for it.” Yet, when it was time to pursue a university degree, Walliser opted to study psychology. “During university though, I began filming again, constantly

shooting dancers,” he said. Right after his convocation from the University of B.C., Walliser told his mother he was going to move to L.A. He was 24. “My mom was really supportive but I think she was a little shocked when I told her I had to move to L.A. if I wanted to follow my passion,” said Walliser. “No other options really existed for me if I wanted to work in the industry because California is where the music videos industry is.” With no formal training and no job offers, Walliser headed to Los Angeles. Some friends thought he would be swallowed whole and spit out in Lotus Land, but Walliser was undeterred. “I did have a few contacts there and I began by shooting videos for professional dancer friends on a pro-bono basis,” added Walliser. “I actually attribute my success to them because they were the ones to introduce me to friends of friends of the big names in music.” Meanwhile, Walliser said he constantly wants to push the

creative boundaries and did just that for Perry’s videos. However, Walliser said his innovative ideas proved to be far more challenging to put into reality than he first thought. He had to somehow have the video move through three screens simultaneously. What looked creatively “genius” on paper was “complicated and a real challenge.” “The story is told over three screens and I wanted to tell the story in a unique way … showing different things all at once,” said Walliser. “It sounded really cool but putting it together was extremely complicated. “It was also the biggest budget I have ever had for music videos.” When asked if he’s worked with any difficult stars, Walliser is pragmatic and diplomatic. “Everyone has been fun to work with … although I wouldn’t tell you if they weren’t,” he said laughing. “I try to only work with artists that I have a good vibe with and ones who have interesting projects. “When the artist and I are both wanting to create something new

and exciting it’s hard to get someone with a bad attitude.” In fact, he recalled, during one particularly late shoot, Perry and her friends brought over beers for Walliser and his crew. “Katy wasn’t pretentious at all,” he added. “She was nice and really fun to work with.” As far as future projects, Walliser said he wants to keep pushing the artistic envelope and he dreams of working with Canadian rapper/singer Drake. “What Drake is doing creatively is awesome and I love his music,” Walliser said. Meanwhile, Walliser was hoping to get back to the Lower Mainland for Perry’s upcoming concert, but alas, he has a wedding in Hawaii. “Yeah, I really wanted to be there but I can’t,” he added. “But I do try to get back to Richmond a few times a year.” Watch for Walliser’s videos, which will be featured during Katy Perry’s concert on Tuesday, July 19 at Rogers Arena.

dictory was held on June 11 at The Chan Centre for the Performing Arts. The procession was to begin promptly at 1 p.m. as 261 grads nervously waited to cross the stage. The day began at the rose gardens where endless amount of photos were taken. Grads scrambled around everywhere to make sure to get a photo with all their friends and family. After photo taking time was over, the grads were quickly arranged into proper order and slowly but surely began to shuffle into the Chan Centre. In those few seconds that I walked across the stage all the pre nerves of tripping or stumbling were gone. That was my moment and each of us grads had earned the right to cross that stage. A few hours later the last grad crossed the stage and then the entire grad class was asked to stand… we all waited for the iconic

moment and then tossed our hats in the air. The feeling in that moment is indescribable. A great feeling of achievement and relief is felt. The commencement ceremony truly made the feeling of graduation set in. The realization that a huge chapter in our lives had come to and end added the bitter to that bittersweet feeling. In the end, commencement brought an extraordinary feeling of completion and that our right of passage was over but at the same time it made us realize that our lives and futures were just beginning to unwind. Although we may part ways in the future and some of us will never look back, we will all always be a part of Steveston-London’s graduating class of 2011. Congratulations to all the grads of 2011. Nafisah Baksh was a Grade 12 student at Steveston-London secondary.

Canada calls on Robinson for Women’s World Cup Richmond striker who has been attending school in Florida will get her second stint on game’s biggest stage

Richmond’s Jodi-Ann Robinson will once again be wearing national team colours when Canada kicks off play at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Germany this weekend. The Richmond native was among 21 players named by head coach Carolina Morace for what is the world’s biggest women’s sporting event, taking place in nine German cities. Despite her young age, this will be the second World Cup for the 21-year-old striker who also suited up for Canada four years ago in China. Robinson has scored seven times in 50 appearances with the national team. The RC Palmer graduate is coming off an impressive freshman season at the University of West Florida where she finished second in team scoring with 54 points, including 20 goals. She was named a First Team All-American selection and was named to the All-South Region First Team. This will mark Canada’s fifthconsecutive participation in the FIFA Women’s World Cup, dating back to 1995. The team has also already qualified for the next FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2015 when Canada will host the event. Canada’s round-robin schedule includes: Germany on June 26 in Berlin, France on June 30 in Bochum and Nigeria on July 5 in

Dresden. Of note on the Canadian roster, goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc has been selected for her fourth FIFA Women’s World Cup, making her just the second Canadian to earn that distinction. Canada’s only other four-time FIFA Women’s World Cup participant is Andrea Neil, now an assistant coach (along with Elisabetta Bavagnoli) on coach Morace’s staff. Canada’s captain and all-time leader in appearances is Christine Sinclair, now taking part in her third FIFA Women’s World Cup. The Burnaby native ranks amongst the top-5 all-time global leaders in international goals, with 116 to her credit in 159 career matches. Of the nine first-time participants at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, three are actually taking part in their first-ever FIFA event: Christina Julien, Marie-Eve Nault and Kelly Parker. Canada, whose title sponsor is Winners and presenting sponsor is Teck, has a 2011 record of 10 wins, one draw and two losses in 13 matches. This marks the first time Canada has won 10 or more games in back-to-back seasons. Canada also enters the FIFA Women’s World Cup as the reigning CONCACAF champions, having won the confederation title back in November in Cancún, Mexico.

that the national cadet team has medalled and qualified for the FIBA U17 World Championship. “The girls were very prepared for the game tonight and really executed our game plan,” said head coach Carly Clarke of the win. “We had contributions from the whole group and our team defence was once again outstanding. “We are extremely excited and proud to have qualified for the FIBA U17 World Championships and are excited to start preparing for next summer.” The Canadians maintained a comfortable lead in the first half, but held only a 22-19 edge at halftime. Early in the third quarter, Puerto Rico came within two points, but a 10-0 run, thanks to shot-making by Cheyanne Roger (Toronto, ON), Kolbie Orum (Maple Ridge, B.C.), Audrey-Ann Caron-Goudreau (Gatineau, Que.) and Mattu stretched the lead to double digits and the Cadettes never looked back.

Richmond basketball standout Anmol Mattu has helped Canada qualify for the 2012 FIBA U17 World Championship for Women in the Netherlands. Canada earned a trip to Europe by capturing the bronze medal at the 2011 FIBA Americas U16 Championships with a convincing 53–36 victory over Puerto Rico on Saturday in Mexico. Mattu, who just completed her Grade 10 year at Steveston-London secondary school, was one of just three B.C. players on the roster. The 5-foot-3 point guard’s performance was highlighted by a 10-point outing in an earlier 80-66 round-robin win over Puerto Rico. The two-time Richmond Senior Girls Basketball League MVP was noted for the high energy she brought to her team each time she stepped on the floor. The result marked the first time Canada has won bronze at the FIBA Americas U16 Championships and the second time in a row
