How does your Garden City Lands grow?

City officials want the public’s help to shape the future of the 136-acre lot

BY PHILIP RAPHAEL

praphael@richmond-news.com

City officials are calling for the public to help shape history this Saturday (June 1).

That’s when the ball will get rolling on the future of the Garden City lands, a 136-acre parcel close to the city’s core, which has been off limits to Richmond residents pretty much since the early 1900s.

That will change Saturday with the Garden City Ideas Fair when from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. all will be welcome to visit the site, learn about its history, soil type and what wildlife currently call it home.

What will not be supplied by city officials are ideas on what the future holds for the land located between Westminster Highway, Garden City Way, Alderbridge Way and No. 4 Road. That’s what the public is being asked to provide.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie said the land is pretty much a blank canvas — city staff and council have no preconceived notions of what should be done with the property that Richmond purchased in March 2010 for $59.17 million from the Canada Lands Company (CLC) Ltd. and Musqueam Indian Band.

Previously, when Richmond was in negotiations to buy the land, its objectives were to use it for public amenities, community wellness, urban agriculture and environmental sustainability.

“Those were the three objectives at that time, and those will be very important factors as we go forward,” Brodie said, adding he personally wants to keep “a very open mind as to what we should be doing with this land.”

“And now is the time to start asking the public for their view, how do they see it, what

What the finan“So, it’s both an opportucial commitments will nity and a constraint.” be, it remains to be seen. But how can you “I have shied away from being specific shy away from supporting Terra Nova, or the in what I think would be appropriate there,” Garden City Lands.”

Brodie said. “There are so many factors Hopes are to achieve a consensus vision involved. From my point of view, I don’t see after consultation with the public by spring of

next year.

Whatever the outcome is, it’s expected to be a far cry from what the Garden City Lands had been used for in the past.

The federal government acquired the property in 1903 and it was used as the Vancouver Rifle Range for military training during the First World War. After its closure in 1928, the land sat vacant until 1949 when the federal Ministry of Transport erected radio transmitters on the site for maritime use. That lasted until 1994 when the “antenna farm” many Richmond residents came to know was removed.

In the late 1980s, proposals for the land were driven by the need for sports facilities and bids to host sporting events.

There was also the proposal to build a trade and exhibition centre that would have initially been used as a media centre during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.

Now, with the public input being sought, other uses in keeping with the ALR designation have been floated.

Kwantlen Polytechnic University has expressed interest in establishing an educational farming facility on a portion.

“They’ve already approached us through the parks committee, and they would like to have something as part of their curriculum of studies on sustainable horticulture,” Brodie said.

But with the myriad of ideas sure to be submitted, the ultimate conclusion may be to leave the Garden City Lands in its current state for future generations to decide its use.

Either way, Brodie said the opportunity of deciding its future is a unique one.

“This is 136 acres, right in the heart of our city. It’s an opportunity to plan something very special and significant, right in our midst. To be able to take that land and carry out your vision with the input of your citizens is something very few cities are able to do.”

Free public parking and shuttle service will be provided from nearby Lansdowne Centre. For more information about the site, visit http://creategardencitylands.ca.

Ng hockey tourney wraps up after 11 years, but legacy lives on

The ball may have dropped for the final time in the Jimmy Ng Memorial Street Hockey Tournament last Saturday, but its legacy of educating youth and the greater community on safer streets will continue, said organizers.

Since the event started 11 years ago to celebrate the life of Richmond RCMP Const. Jimmy Ng — who was killed in 2002 when his cruiser was broad-sided by a street racer — it has raised money and awareness about dangerous driving and behaviours that put safety at risk.

Its impact has been profound, according to one officer.

“Since Jimmy’s unfortunate death we have not had one death related to street racing in Richmond,” said Sgt. Katherine Hansen, one of the organizers of the tournament that wrapped up May 25 at the Thompson Community Centre. “We went from an average of three a year prior to 2002, to not one.”

At the heart of the turnaround has been connecting with youth through the RCMP’s DARE (Drug Awareness Resistance Education) program. The $130,000 raised through the hockey tournament over the past 11 years helped the program reach out to students in Grade 5.

It also provided a donation to the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue, which named a boat after Ng. And scholarships were provided to youngsters who had volunteered their time to community service.

this would be the last year for the tournament.

“You have a sense when something’s run its course, because it’s always been about Chris and Therese to a lot of us,” Baziuk said. “We lost her this year and it was time.”

Throughout the years, Baziuk said he saw the genuine delight the couple had attending the tournament honouring their son.

“Those folks would come and they would just beam,” he said.

“It was their day to celebrate their son. And they forged a lot of close friendships as well.”

Those connections will live on, and so will the commitment to educating youth locally despite the disPHOTO SUBMITTED continuation of the tournament.

Extreme high tides leave folks stranded on Shady Island

crossed during low tide and became stranded when it rose quickly.

“It’s not unusual for the season, in May and June, we generally get really high highs and really low lows,” said coxswain Brian Hobbs.

“Sometimes people aren’t expecting such an extreme swing.

They like to go out and explore at low tide, then the quick rise catches them off guard.”

Hobbs cautions that should people find themselves stranded, the best solution is to call for help rather than attempt to beat the tide.

Due to snow melting from the mountains into the water this time of year, the currents are unexpectedly strong.

The same goes for pet owners to keep their pets away from the extreme tides.

“Sometimes people think they can swim across or help out a pet that’s struggling, but the currents can sweep up even a strong swimmer,” said Hobbs. “When in doubt, it’s best to call for help.”

If you find yourself stranded or in trouble, call 911, or Channel 16 on a Marine VHF radio. For more information, contact info@ rcmsar10.org.

Young people not sold on home ownership

Honing in on home ! The second, and last part of “Honing in on home” looks at Millenials (those born between 1980 and 1995) and how they are approaching the issue of home ownership.

The North American dream of owning a house with a backyard for the kids might be fading with a new generation of professionals.

Patterns showing a preference for renting and public transit were discussed at a recent Metro Vancouver sustainability breakfast, Rental Housing Matters, at the Radisson Hotel in Richmond. “(Millenials) are looking for housing flexibility, which is why they’re most likely to rent,” said Bev Grieve, manager of planning for New Westminster, at the conference.

“They’re starting out in new jobs that might require them to move around, so home ownership isn’t a priority yet.”

As well, people today are far less likely to stay with the same company or even in the same profession throughout their working life, making them less interested in being tied to a mortgage.

Besides housing flexibility, the type of houses young professionals are looking for is different.

“I don’t need to be the owner of a single-family dwelling,” said 26-year-old

Jonathan Lai, 26, currently lives at home, while saving up to buy his own place. The Richmondite says finding a single-family dwelling is not as important to him as it might have been to his parents.

Jonathan Lai, who is looking to buy within the next two years. “There are a lot of condos and new mini communities being developed, which I like. It’s not the same as having a backyard, but it also has a more community feel.”

Lai recently looked at the River Park Place complex, which attempts to create a sense of community through amenities such as a shared park for families.

When he was there, he was told that, although not the target market, most of the units have been sold to people under the age of 40, which could be reflective of a new way of thinking.

“The reality is, in Vancouver and Richmond, these types of options are more affordable,” Lai said.

“We don’t need detached homes anymore.”

Both social and economic factors have lead to people requiring less land.

Richmond city planners

have noticed a similar trend among young adults like Lai living at home, which, in part, led to the legalization of secondary suites and granny flats in 2007.

The new bylaw provides an opportunity for children to live in these suites, according to city spokesperson Ted Townsend.

Another significant trend planners have taken note of is the fact young adults are less likely to have a driver’s licence, let alone own a car.

It means that as an update of Richmond’s Affordable Housing Strategy is prepared, it includes a study on this age group, incorporating a variety of housing types, as well as linking transit accessibility with housing.

“Transit factors very much into developing housing units,” said Terry Crowe, Richmond manager of policy planning.

“With the Canada Line, we’ve been building high-

density villages around the stations and we don’t let developers put the normal amount of parking there.”

Crowe said the purpose is to encourage people to use public transit. It is also cheaper for the developer, as it costs approximately $35,000 per stall.

Some of these savings are directed to bus passes or bike stalls, according to Crowe.

With fewer parking spaces, the overall cost per unit decreases as well.

The city hopes the increased ridership in public transit will encourage extra buses to be put on routes.

“I know a lot of people where transportation plays a huge role in where they decide to live,” said Lai, although he owns a car. “If transit were better, I’d take it as well.”

For now, a proximity to the city centre and urban dwellings remains a priority for Lai and his peers.

Former beauty queen should get two months house arrest: Crown

BY SUSAN LAZARUK The Province

A beauty contestant who pleaded guilty to looting London Drugs said she made a “split second” decision to follow crowds through the broken door to steal a bag of chips, two bottles of water and a Canucks water bottle.

Sophie Laboissonniere of Richmond, who was 19 at the time of the 2011 Stanley Cup riots, has pleaded guilty to rioting.

She told police in a statement when she first turned herself in that she was both “fascinated and repulsed” by the rioting on June 15, 2011.

Laboissonniere chatted occasionally with her lawyer as Crown counsel Patti Tomasson entered facts into the record at her daylong sentencing hearing in Vancouver provincial court.

She was accompanied by four people in court, including her parents.

The Crown is seeking a two-month jail sentence to adequately deter others from similar crimes, but isn’t opposed to Laboissonniere

serving it in the community as a conditional sentence, commonly called house arrest.

Her lawyer, David Baker, has asked for a conditional discharge, meaning his client wouldn’t have a record.

Baker argued the notoriety she’s suffered by her story being published and broadcast around the world would deter others.

He said Laboissonniere, who won Miss Congeniality in the 2011 Miss Coastal Vancouver pageant, has received more media attention than any other rioter.

She was mentioned by late night talk show host Jay Leno and compared to a porn star on pornography websites, he said.

He also noted Laboissonniere volunteered to give seminars on her experience to her former high school, McMath secondary, and spoke to 700 students.

And he said a change in her anti-depressant medication shortly before the riot may have affected her judgment that night. He said her identical twin sister said she

wasn’t herself at the time.

Tomasson said a discharge is inappropriate and has been denied for other rioters already sentenced.

She noted Laboissonniere had spent hours downtown in the midst of the riot before deciding to loot.

The judge will sentence her at a hearing next month.

Laboissonniere said in her statement that after she followed the crowd into

London Drugs and stole the items, she returned to join her sister. Her sister told her she was angry with what she had done and she dropped the merchandise.

Laboissonniere was among 300 looters who entered the store that night.

London Drugs suffered $900,000 in losses, most in lost or damaged merchandise. For the full story, visit www.richmond-news.com.

RCMP close travel firm investigation

News

BY YVONNE ROBERTSON

yrobertson@richmond-news.com

Richmond RCMP have finished its investigation involving Alameda Travel Limited after the travel agency suddenly ceased operations last month.

The investigation looked into the company’s business practices and spoke to several of

the complainants, concluding the financial difficulties experienced by Alameda Travel were not deemed criminal in nature.

Last month, the News reported a customer, Tingting Yao, accused Alameda owner, Deanna Leung, of doctoring a cheque Yao had made out to the company.

When looking at her bank statement, Yao noticed the name on the cheque had been

Q A

I need to lower my cholesterol.

Can TCM help me?

Yes TCM is very effective in keeping the cholesterol levels in check. This is important to maintain good circulation of the heart muscle and organ. Traditional Chinese Medicine has a variety of herbs and food cures that can assist the breakdown and assimilation by the Stomach and Spleen systems of the foods so that the pure essence of the foods can be separated from the non-essentials.

Dampness can accumulate when the digestive organs become inefficient from overeating, irregular eating or eating too many concentrated foods such as meats, dairy, eggs and syrups. Treatment involves strengthening of the digestive organs to make digestion more efficient to break down the accumulated dampness and expel it to keep the blood circulation smooth and strong.

QWhat is an Enduring Power of Attorney?

A

An Enduring Power of Attorney is a legal document, governed by the Power of Attorney Act of B.C., by which you can appoint someone to act on your behalf for all of your legal and financial matters, in the event you become mentally or physically incapable of acting for yourself. It is also in effect even if you are capable of acting for yourself. For example, you may be away on holidays and need someone to act for you while negotiating the sale of your property, or sign mortgage and land title documents for the purchase of your new home.

It does not stop you from looking after your own personal affairs while you are still capable of doing so. Contact your local Notary Public for more details and to assist you with all of your Power of Attorney needs.

Q

My current dentures have smooth artificial looking gums. Is there a new process that produces natural looking gum tissues for dentures?

A

Denturism / denture technology is a combination of art and science. The artistic portion of denturism involves the elaborate carving and colorization of gum tissues. Colorization or tissue toning of the acrylic gum tissues to represent healthy vibrant tissue is the objective of the denturist. The carving portion of gum tissues requires accurate representation of root structures in order to provide vital lip support as well as realism. Tissue toning combined with root carving provides youthful appearance and vitality. The viewer, from conversation distance, finds artificial tissues discernible from real tissues and the wearer has physiological reassurance that their secret is safe. If you have any questions regarding this procedure or any other denture subject, please book your free consultation with us.

The Real Estate industry is changing. With the introduction of realtor.ca, the general public has access to ALL the listings which were previously ONLY available to Realtors®.

Technological advances have changed the job of a real estate agent and the Internet has driven huge efficiencies into the real estate market. Today, the amount of time Realtors® spend on many aspects of each transaction is greatly reduced. With 1%, I provide full service for less and still remain profitable.

A co-signer is registered on title with you, effectively making them a co-owner of the property. A guarantor guarantees the mortgage, and that the payments will be made but is not registered on title. After a period of time, a co-signor or a guarantor can apply to be removed off title and or mortgage should the owners of the property be able to qualify on their own.

Q A

How do I keep the outside of my house well maintained?

Diverting moisture away from the home is the most important part of exterior maintenance. If you live in an older home, then you may have seepage issues if the drain tile is made of clay or concrete, so a modern drain tile system is always recommended.

Have the gutters cleaned at least twice annually.

Areas around all windows, doors, balconies or any joints should be properly sealed. All wood will have to be painted, ideally in the summer with an outdoor approved paint. Monitor for repairs annually. With stucco, be sure to seal any cracks as soon as possible.

Seal all voids & cracks, no matter what the siding is made of.

Keep vegetation at least 1 foot away. Also, I don’t recommend flower beds or soil right against the foundation wall. Bottom line, keep the outside dry, maintain often and it should serve you well. For more info, send me an email or call me.

Q A

Is paying for Earthquake Insurance a waste of money in Richmond, BC due to the issue of flood waters?

There are many thoughts and factors to consider on this question and when a person comes to the final decision on this it does depend on how a person feels about it. To answer the question directly, if there is an earthquake and then a flood then an insurer would respond to the claims. If there is no earthquake and a flood; in the Province of BC there is typically no flood insurance available for the owners of dwellings to purchase. There are many comments in the general public about the ability of insurers to be able to pay claims, however the Federal and Provincial governments monitor and regulate insurers strictly and to the point where insurers are required to report and meet certain ratios on a regular basis.

Reinsurance is involved as well but this is topic for another day. Most people have earthquake coverage in our offices due to the ‘what if factor’; meaning most people do not have the financial capability or resources to live somewhere else and to recover from the potential disaster that could wipe out their home and finances that, in a lifetime, they may never recover from. It’s viewed by many that it is part of the cost of owning a home.

If your system is over 5 years old , it is recommended A you should have it checked by a professional technician.

If not, you should be changing your filter or cleaning it.

For an outside unit you should always ensure outdoor unit is clean of debris or leaves, so that it will function more efficiently. Always make sure the grass and bushes are trimmed around the unit to allow proper air flows. For a window unit that is in place permanently always check to make sure there is no fin damage on the outside, the filter is clean and it’s still secure. Taking these steps every year will ensure a trouble free cooling season!

QWhat is it exactly?

STAGER

A

Elle Hunter

Home staging is a relatively new concept for home owners and is growing in popularity every year. Part of the process involves arranging furniture and decor to create a visual experience to showcase the homes best features. The visual impact and positive first impression are very important so prospective buyers can imagine themselves living in the house.

Staging also involves analyzing demographics and appealing to the lifestyle of the potential buyers in order to attract them to view your property. De-cluttering, curb appeal ideas, and any other key info should be addressed respectfully by your professionally trained Stager so that your home looks warm and inviting. Staging helps obtain the best possible selling price and usually decreases the time on the Tel: 604-512-2002 market.

* For personal answers please feel free to call your local professionals directly.

All dogs, regardless of size or breed, need to be taken on daily walks, jogs, runs, bike rides, rollerblading, or any other means you have to get your dog moving. Taking your dog for a walk is an important ritual in keeping your dog mentally stable. A dog, as an animal, is a walker/traveler by instinct. Packs of dogs get up in the morning and walk. Simply having a large backyard or taking your dog to the dog park is not going to satisfy this instinct in your dog. As Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer says, "To your dog, your backyard is like a large fish bowl in which they are trapped. Fish swim, birds fly and dogs walk. Having a dog should not be about only fulfilling our human needs, we owe it to our dogs, to give them what THEY instinctually need."

What constitutes a “good offer” for a Qnew car?

A

As a sales professional in the automotive industry, I encounter individuals daily looking for the “best deal” on their new purchase. And why not? A car is often a person or families second largest purchase (behind housing) and takes up a big piece of our monthly budgets. Well as both a salesperson and as a customer who also has bought cars myself, I can safely say that the “best deal” isn’t always about the lowest possible price.

First off, many consumers still hold and perpetuate misconceptions about how much profit is in a new car to begin with. The majority of dealerships out there (especially with import dealers) have only about 3% to 8% of profit in their cars – meaning that a $20,000 car only has $600 to $1600 of profit (manufacturer rebates do not count against the profit). Fair deal lies between 3-4% profit margin.

QWhat is Life Coaching?

A

Life coaching is a one-on-one process where a trained professional helps people achieve their life goals.

This involves the coach skillfully helping people make discoveries around what's holding them back, overcoming fears and making them accountable to action. A good coach doesn't judge people and creates a space where they feel safe. Coaching asks powerful and thought provoking questions. These questions challenge people into finding new perspectives on issues they face. The awareness a client experiences is trans-formative and allow people to move forward much more quickly in their lives.

This is a common question asked by many vehicle owners.

You are not “required” to have your services done at the dealership. The only thing that you need to make sure of is that the service facility is using the correct warranty approved products required to service your vehicle. Today’s vehicles require a variety of different specified fluids especially when it comes to engine oil, transmission fluids and coolants. Be sure to read your owner’s manual and ensure that the fluids going into your vehicle meet all the necessary specifications. As long as you have confidence and a good relation with your repair facility this should not be an issue for you.

Hollow laughter at Ford

I

t wasn’t a national story when Toronto’s controversial mayor, Rob Ford, was accused of inappropriate touching on March 7 by Sarah Thomson, a former mayoralty rival.

Even video footage of a man alleged to be Ford smoking crack cocaine could have remained Toronto-centric. What has made this story go viral, has been Ford’s response — or lack thereof.

He initially called the allegations “ridiculous”, but then refused to talk to the media, delegating his brother, also a Toronto councillor, to do that on his behalf.

Last Thursday, Ford summarily fired his chief of staff after a conversation that apparently included “advice” to the mayor.

He finally denied the allegations and then, on Monday, his press secretary and deputy press secretary suddenly quit.

One of three scenarios are at play here: it’s a case of mistaken identity; it’s a frame-up; Ford is smoking crack.

If either of the first two possibilities are true, does it not seem likely that an innocent politician would not just deny and denounce, but would be screaming for the police to get to the truth of the matter, right from the get go?

Ford’s prolonged silence on the matter would be an appropriate response if indeed he has been captured on video. He could not be prosecuted on the basis of a video alone, so hunkering down until the media move on would be common sense.

Then again, maybe he’s entirely innocent and just doing what his lawyer has advised.

The problem for all Canadians now is that, innocent or not, Ford has become the target of U.S. comedians.

The “bits” are funny, but the laughter has a hollow ring.

It’s a joke like this that gives citizens a reason not to vote.

CHOICE WORDS

Dodging debris in city’s bike lanes The Editor, I have been a commuter using my bicycle in Richmond for many years.

It is great that the City of Richmond has many bicycle lanes, which helps keep cyclists safe from traffic.

However, with all the construction going on in the city, the lanes are full of rocks and debris. At intersections where there has been a car accident, the glass and car parts get swept into the bicycle lanes and stay there for weeks before a street cleaner sweeps the debris away.

All this debris in the bicycle lanes makes cycling a challenge and cause flat tires on occasion.

The city and the province promote healthy living and getting out of your car to help save the environment.

The least they can do is look after and clean the bicycle lanes in Richmond more often.

Teacher talks could result in fall strike

As Premier Christy Clark prepares her B.C. Liberal government for its fourth term in power, she may be thinking she’ll be facing a political opposition that is spent, demoralized and likely about to be consumed by internal strife.

But while that may describe the shattered New Democratic Party, Clark would be wise to realize opposition to her government can take the form of other entities.

Both the B.C. Teachers Federation and the unionized support staff in the K-12 education system may be in a position to take job action in the fall.

Clark has re-issued her idea of a 10-year contract with B.C.’s teachers, and has gone further by formally making it her government’s position at the negotiating table. The 10-year plan was largely dismissed when Clark first floated it, but that’s because it seemed part of her ongoing election campaign and not representative of actual policy.

But now that she has won a mandate from the voters, the 10-year contract proposal has to be taken more seriously. Of course, that doesn’t make it any easier to achieve at the bargaining table.

Details haven’t been made public, but I suspect the government’s proposal will include some kind of wage indexing to ensure teachers get at least the average of public sector union wage increases every year of the contract, plus

Keith Baldrey IN THE HOUSE

some kind of guaranteed funding increase to address class size and composition.

As well, look for the government wanting more “flexibility” to be incorporated in the system, with the argument that flexibility will allow for savings to be realized, with those savings passed on in turn to teachers and the issues they deem most important.

It will be an interesting set of negotiations, but I have a hard time believing the BCTF leadership will sign such a long-term deal.

This brings us to an interesting question: will the B.C. Liberal government impose a 10-year deal if one can’t be freely negotiated?

As much as some members of the government caucus might want to do just that, I doubt the courts would allow such a long deal to be imposed on a collective bargaining process.

Still, it’s clear the B.C. Liberals are intent on trying a radically different approach in this round of talks with the BCTF. Just days after the election, they bailed on the current set of negotiations, even though the union said progress was being made, in favour of shifting talks towards the 10-year plan.

As for the unionized

support staff, they’re looking for a wage increase in the neighbourhood of two per cent a year.

This sets the stage for a possible confrontation between the unions and the B.C. Liberal government in the fall. Of course, it’s quite likely the government will simply impose a contract on both unions if they can’t be negotiated and if job action becomes problematic.

Nevertheless, this situation could be Premier Christy Clark’s first real test as an elected premier with a mandate.

It is imperative that her government delivers its budget with its projected surplus if it wants to establish credibility when it comes to budget-making. This means there is very little money for wage increases in the education sector.

So to get to that magic land of a balanced budget, Clark will have to hold firm against two public sector unions.

Both unions no doubt expected to be dealing with a newly elected NDP government in contract talks, and probably assumed they were in for an easier ride.

But the upset win by the B.C. Liberals changed many things, not the least of which has to be the expectations of the public sector unions. They are about to discover the new sheriff in town is actually still the old one, but her hold on the job is much stronger now.

BRAEN’S CUT (for Men)

MUNICIPAL SPENDING

The Editor, The idea that the City of Richmond might spend more than $5 million on an Olympic Sport Museum is startling and troubling.

For a moment, I thought the idea was a joke.

If such a plan were ever carried out, it would be a travesty and a tragedy.

At the very least, the citizens of Richmond must be asked to vote on such a proposition if it is ever seriously considered.

There are so many more important issues confronting the city at this time.

The original Olympic ideal was a good one, but it was destroyed in ancient times, and it has been destroyed by outand-out professionalism again today.

The Editor, Another expertly fudged report, this is council’s best yet. But, of course, it should be, council has been fudging them for 10 years now.

The transfer of the casino’s revenue of $5 million, plus the Legacy contribution of $3 million and the taxpayers’ contribution of another $3 million makes a total of $11 million spent on the Owe-val (I wish Council would get the spelling correct).

BUT the Owe-val made a profit of $3 million. That’s it — a $3-million return on an $11-million investment.

I’m surprised that Senators Duffy and Wallin didn’t contact Richmond City Council to look after their financial affairs. Then they wouldn’t be in the mess they are in now.

Church concert connects musical community PHOTO SUBMITTED

BY YVONNE ROBERTSON

The Steveston United Church choir will perform at Saturday’s annual spring concert at the church.

yrobertson@richmond-news.com

The spring concert at Steveston United Church usually brings together the community’s music players and lovers under one roof, and this year is no exception.

In fact, the concert this Saturday (June 1) at 7 p.m. is expected to be better than previous, as special performers like the Fraser River Fiddlers, have approached

HEALTH PRODUCTS THAT REALLY WORK FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE Stem Cell Activator

Helps to activate naturally millions of stem cells from our own bone marrow. The increase in stem cells released from the bone marrow into the blood stream have the potential to become other types of tissue cells with specialized function. Stem cells will multiply and are able to become heart cells, liver cells or any other organ. Located everywhere in our body, stem cells are even under our skin layered between the epidermis and dermis. This is why an increase in stem cells under our skin may help to create a more youthful cell that would replenish elastin and collagen and thus may make us look younger. If our bone marrow does not produce enough stem cells this can result in many illnesses, especially a weak heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, in fact all healthy functions of our body are decreased. Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential of selfrepair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues. !Women looking for anti-aging help! We all want to slow down aging. After using a bottle of Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 my skin seemed smoother and brighter. My hair looked healthier. It seems to have a cleansing effect. I’m delighted. Leona McCormick, 50, Clgary, AB ! All around healing effect! The first thing I noticed after starting Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 was that my skin feels firmer and stronger. My friends commented that my skin looks more vibrant. My doctor at my yearly physical told me that my blood pressure is significantly lower. Many good things are happening.

During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, #23 because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS !It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing.

GREEN CARTS

Compost program extended The City of Richmond kicked off its new Green Cart collection program, which starts next week, with an official event hosted by Mayor Malcolm Brodie Tuesday afternoon.

The program gives Richmond residents living in single-family homes and townhouse units a convenient way to dispose of their food scraps and yard trimmings.

The carts allow for curbside collection and will be available to more than 40,000 households in the city.

Yesterday’s event debuted the new collection trucks to be used by city contractor Sierra Waste Services, which made the first

Event: Includes sing-a-long Continued from page 12 Flemming and a professional trumpeter.

There will also be singers, flutists and pianists, all from the wider Steveston community.

“We’ve also got some French horns, who aren’t necessarily professionals, but they’re certainly enthusiastic amateurs,” said Flemming.

“So there’s going to be quite a variety of performances.”

Flemming, who has been playing music for more than 40 years, originally organized the concert in order to raise money for a new organ at the church.

— Tyler “We Flemming promised to continue it every year,” he said.

“Now all proceeds go to the music program at Steveston United.”

He likes the idea of getting as many community members and music enthusiasts involved as possible and therefore, he keeps choir requirements flexible.

Understanding people’s busy schedules, they’re able to participate whenever they have time.

“If they can’t show up for a few sessions, that’s fine,” he said. “I always have a few Plan Bs.” Saturday’s event will include a sing-a-long and will be held at the church, 3720 Broadway St. (at 2nd Avenue). Admission is by donation.

“We promised to continue it every year.”

official pickup from a residence on Plover Drive.

Francis Li from SUCCESS also discussed his organization’s role in assisting the city in promoting the program to the Chinese-speaking community.

Next week also marks the kick off of the new Large Item Pick Up program to provide curbside collection of up to four large household items per year.

Studies have shown food scraps comprise of approximately 20 per cent of garbage going to the landfill, and it is anticipated that there will be a regional disposal ban on food scraps starting in 2015.

Volunteers from RCMSAR were recognized last month for their efforts during a rescue mission in 2011, when a fiveperson speedboat hit a log boom and two people were thrown overboard. All five were saved. The team was presented with the Seattle Yacht Club Appreciation Trophy, which recognizes extraordinary performance.

Earlier this month, members of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce served up food at the MacDonald’s adjacent to Lansdowne Centre for McHappy Day on May 8. All proceeds raised went to children’s charities across Canada.

“Get your life back” on the Canada Line @ Lansdowne Station

Clarke taking her scoring touch to Louisiana State

Talented Richmond striker leaves in August for the next stage of her promising career with NCAA program

BY MARK BOOTH

mbooth@richmond-news.com

She routinely blows past defenders, has explosive lateral movement with the ball at her feet and can effortlessly finish into the top corner of the net. So what propelled Summer Clarke into becoming one of the country’s top up-and-coming soccer players?

“When I was 10 or 11 years old my dad use to always make me go to my brother’s practices. He basically had to drag me there,” laughed Clarke. “It was a challenge just to try and keep up with them but it definitely helped me when I was playing with girls.”

Summer’s older brother happens to be Caleb Clarke of the Vancouver Whitecaps and her father Clive is one of the most successful coaches in the history of youth soccer in Richmond.

He just guided a third local team to a Coastal “A” Cup championship.

Those days of training with the boys have since paid off in a big way for Summer. She had a leading role in Canada qualifying and competing in last fall’s FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup in Azerbaijan. She is also headed to Louisiana State University this summer on a full-ride scholarship.

She agreed to the lucrative deal soon after touring the Baton Rouge campus in November. The recruiting process began when Clarke was playing for the provincial U16 team two summers ago. LSU was originally interested in her B.C. teammate Emma Fletcher but it didn’t take long for Clarke to get their attention as well.

Now both girls are heading south, along with another Canadian U17 member — Rebecca Pongetti. The trio will be living together on campus when the Tigers’ training camp opens the second week of August.

Clarke admits she had other options, especially once she cracked the national team roster and led Canada in scoring during qualifying play.

“Scouts would come and watch us train,” said Clarke who estimates at

least a dozen schools were in pursuit of her, including Christine Sinclair’s alma mater — University of Portland. “The national team definitely opened a lot of the doors but in the end I was always impressed with LSU’s program and what the school had to offer. Besides, one of the things on the top of my list was playing in warm weather all the time.”

Clarke split last season between her national team commitments amd helping the Richmond Red Hot Selects repeat as provincial champions, this time at the U18 level. She then suited up for the Richmond-based Total Soccer Systems girls’ elite team in the Pacific Coast Soccer League (PCSL) before finally accepting a long-standing invitation to join the Whitecaps Residency program where she has been reunited with former Red Hot select teammate Justine Do. The Whitecaps commitment includes four training sessions per week at Simon Fraser University and at least one game.

“It’s been a really good experience,” said Clarke. “Jesse (Symons) is an excellent coach and I have learned a lot during my time with the program.”

The Whitecaps are currently playing in the PCSL where Clarke has been on a tear. She has seven of the Whitecaps 12 goals in three wins, including a pair against her former TSS teammates last week at Minoru Park.

“The league itself is actually quite strong,” said Clarke. “I think, overall, we are just a bit further along with our skill development but the competition has been really good for us.”

Clarke had to decline a recent invitation to a national U20 development camp to on finishing her Grade MARK BOOTH/RICHMOND NEWS 12 year at RC Palmer.

More camp invites are Summer Clarke had a rare chance to play a home game last week when the Whitecaps FC Residency Team took on the Total Soccer Systems Elite Team in Pacific Coast Soccer League sure to come in the action. Clarke scored twice in a 4-2 win. months ahead.

Sports Richmond forward selected

by Broncos in WHL draft Owen Seidel working hard for next step of his hockey career

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Owen Seidel made it two straight years the Swift Current Broncos have selected a Richmond player in the Western Hockey League Bantam Draft.

For the second straight year, the Swift Current Broncos have selected a Richmond prospect in the Western Hockey League Bantam Draft.

On the heels of taking Seafair Minor Hockey standout Glenn Gawdin in 2012, the Broncos used their seventh round pick (144th overall) to draft forward Owen Seidel.

He also spent his early years of minor hockey in Seafair’s Hockey 1-4 program before moving onto the Burnaby Winter Club where he earned roster spots with its A1 rep teams for six consecutive seasons.

This past campaign, Seidel posted 98 points in 52 games, including 34 goals, in helping BWC finish second at the provincial championships in Cowichan. The season also included a first place finish at the Medicine Hat Hounds Bantam AAA Tournament where Seidel scored the overtime winner against the Calgary Bisons in the final.

Seidel attends the Palmer Hockey Academy and admits draft day was too big of a distraction to focus on school.

“I was very excited and a bit nervous, that I couldn’t even concentrate at school, so I went home,” he laughed.

“I kept looking at the website at the list draft prospects being chosen, and was so thrilled and grateful when my name came up with the Broncos. I received a phone call

shortly after from (Swift Current Assistant GM) Jamie Porter and I was still on cloud nine that I barely remember what took place in that conversation.”

Seidel was interviewed by a Swift Current radio station and immediately felt like he was member of the Broncos team.

“It has been my goal to play in the WHL for a couple of years and and I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of their organization,” he continued.

Seidel’s next goal is to make the jump to the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League with the Richmond-based Greater Vancouver Canadians. He is now busy with off-season training that includes shooting sessions with former Sockeyes coach Ron Johnson, dryland training with Tia Clearihue and two more on ice sessions through the Vancouver Hockey School with Derek Popke and Yogi Svekovsky.

If that’s not enough, Seidel joins his BWC teammates for development sessions run by recent Canadians coaches Leland Mack and Kevin Pederson.

“All these coaches help me be a better player and work harder to achieve my ultimate goal of playing in the WHL,” he added.

I am always wanting to improve my game and learn new ways to get better, faster and stronger."

Roadrunners improve to 5-0

CYNTHIA BRADLEY/ SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Richmond Roadrunners returned to work in the Tri-Cities area last week with a pair of wins to remain perfect on the season in B.C. Intermediate “A” Lacrosse League play.

Following a 13-day layoff, the Roadrunners travelled to Coquitlam where they trimmed the Adanacs 98. Two nights later, they were in Port Coquitlam and produced an 18-9 triumph over the Saints.

Jayden Campbell and Braeden Jensen led the way against Coquitlam with a pair of goals, Spencer Bromley added a goal and three assists. Connor Davidson, Wyatt Kinna, Matthew Sobey and Tyler Vogrig had the others.

The contest was close throughout and

Tyler Vogrig scored five goals as the Richmond Roadrunners remain perfect (5-0) in the B.C. Intermediate “A” Lacrosse League with an 189 road victory over the Port Coquitlam Saints last Thursday.

Richmond returns to action tonight when it hosts Burnaby at 8 p.m.

featured excellent goaltending at both ends. Richmond took a 6-5 lead into the final period and held off the Adanacs in the final minute to preserve the win.

Richmond enjoyed a 58-40 advantage in the shot department.

The match-up in PoCo proved to be a physical affair with the Saints having no answers for the Roadrunners’ highoctane offense.

Vogrig has a big night with five goals. Jensen added five points, including a hat trick. Chandler Bradley, Patrick Szabo and Campbell each scored twice.

Bromley had a goal and five assists.
