Being persistent and striking a balance in your life can put you on the road to success in whatever you do.

That’s advice students at BC Muslim school in Richmond heard from Canadian Paralympian and local resident Walter Wu on a drizzly Wednesday morning.

But even Scan if the weather this didn’t cooppage erate, Wu’s to view a address to the video Grade 6 and 7 classes left a sunny impression on the group assembled to listen to the multi-medal-winning swimmer.

To illustrate his message Wu brought along his haul of Paralympic swimming medals for the students to see and touch.

In total, Wu earned five gold medals at the 1996 Games in Atlanta, two more gold in a fivemedal intake in Sydney in 2000, and achieved numerous world record performances, and was

Immigrant students want credit for ESL courses

Walter Wu, a Canadian Paralympian, visited BC Muslim school Wednesday morning to inspire Grade 6 and 7 classes.

RCMP’s Sports Event that brings high level athletes to local schools for a dose of inspiration, and then offers a chance for the youngsters to square off against members of the RCMP in a sports activity.

This time it was floor hockey in the school’s gym.

Wu added that school balanced with other activities is what they should strive to achieve.

“You always want a balance.

School’s important. Good grades are important,” he said. “You want to be good at school? Fantastic.

But you also need a second part to your life, as well. And it doesn’t even have to be sports. It could be in the arts.”

Wu said he had a well-roundedchildhood, taking part in a number of sports growing up, as well as music.

All the time, he had the support of his parents who never pushed him to compete.

“They never pressured me,” he said, “or said you have to be number one, you have to win medals.

They didn’t know how far I was going to get, they just encouraged me.”

When a high school student learns another language, they get a credit towards their graduation — unless that other language is English.

Having English Language Learning (ELL), also known as English as a Second Language (ESL), courses count towards high school graduation is just one of 16 recommendations B.C. immigrant and refugee youth are sending to the Ministry of Education.

The report, Fresh Voices from Long Journeys: Insights of Immigrant and Refugee Youth, was sponsored by the Vancouver Foundation and B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth (RCY).

based on extracurricular activity.

“We problem solve to figure out the best plan for the student and award external credits such as horse-back riding or piano, so learning English can be like one of those.

“But I think the graduation requirements should stay the same, like completing English 12, or Math 10.”

Fresh Voices isn’t looking to replace regular English, but wants their ESL courses to contribute to the final tally needed to graduate.

The report came out of an immigrant and refugee youth summit, organized by Vancouver Foundation and RCY, in 2011, followed by a series of regional meetings in 2012.

If they’re dedicating their time towards this during and after school, why not give them credit for something Canadian students get already?”

It’s also an opportunity for the Ministry to take action and show it’s listening to the province’s youth, according to Gifford.

“They really want to strengthen the communities they live in and it’s great to see them so engaged,” he said. “It’s not a budget issue, it’s a way to assign real value to something, and credits are the real currency for them.”

The advisory team also launched an online petition at www.make-it-count. ca and will present the results to the

The report contained 15 other recommendations about how organizations can better address the challenges that immigrant and refugee youth face living in B.C., such as, inequalities in the school system and the unique For a role they play in the family. video Approximately 200 youth were of the consulted. cam“School in general can be paign hard when you’re new, particularly being a person of colour in a school is difficult in a place that’s not your home,” said Bhatia, whose family moved to B.C. from India. “Having something like this count in some way will really help students know their hard work is getting them somewhere.”

News District mulls cuts, union makes suggestions with other districts, like bulk purchasing to save money?” Kaiser said.

BY PHILIP RAPHAEL

praphael@richmond-news.com

The Richmond school district is slated to announce how it will pay for a 3.5 per cent wage increase for non-teaching staff Monday (Oct. 7), although school officials are still unsure how much the increase will cost in terms of dollars and possible job cuts.

School board chair Donna Sargent told the News district staff are still crunching numbers on the contract agreement worked out last month between members of CUPE — which represents about 1,000 workers locally, ranging from education assistants to janitorial staff — and the ministry of education. The calculations are being done because the province is downloading the increase on districts, rather than providing funding.

The government’s directive is for school districts to meet the contract increase through savings found locally — and that could mean pink slips for some staff.

It’s a scenario that will not take affect this school year, Sargent assured.

But there could be job losses for the start of the 2014 school year.

Hoping against that is June Kaiser, president of CUPE Local 716, who said she has been in discussion with the district to make suggestions where savings can be made, such as shared services.

“Are we sharing enough services

“It (cuts) can keep happening as long as the erosion of morale, services and degradation of our capacity to provide a quality public education is acceptable.”

on a local level that they should be looking at,” Kaiser said. “I think (school district staff) are doing the best they can ... to find money.

“We’ve given them our ideas, and we’ll see what they do with it.”

Aside from poring over the district’s budget items, Kaiser said she feels the province is abandoning its responsibility to properly fund education.

“For (the B.C.’s Ministry of Education) to still expect the districts to pay is ludicrous,” she said. “And I don’t think the districts are fighting hard

enough. I’m sure there’s fear and some political stuff happening.

“The government has to understand that it’s their negotiated settlement. We negotiated with the government because that’s where the money is. Had we not been told that, we’d still be negotiating.”

Also upset with the downloading on districts is Richmond school trustee Eric Yung.

“It’s a process that has been fairly prevalent over the past few years,” Yung said. “It can keep happening as long as the erosion of morale, services and degradation of our capacity to provide a quality public education is acceptable.”

Most school districts across B.C. spend close to the full amount of their budgets annually, leaving very little left over to deal with expenses from a contract increase they did not negotiate directly, Yung added.

Richmond does have a $6.1 million surplus that Sargent said a portion of which may be used. But it represents a small percentage of the local district’s $200 million-plus budget.

While the surplus may seem like a lot of money, it can disappear very quickly given other contract talks on the horizon, Yung said.

“This isn’t an isolated incident.

We’re probably going to have to start thinking about 2014 and onward for CUPE,” he said. “And we still don’t know what’s going to happen with the teachers.”

state school administrator, speaking at a community forum organized by the parents of Tyler, a relentlessly bullied 17-year-old who took his own life.

Free up air space: Chamber

BY ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

The Richmond Chamber of Commerce is the driving force behind a bold bid to free up the marketplace in the skies above the city, B.C. and Canada.

Alongside the Vancouver Board of Trade, the chamber managed to convince their national body — the Canadian Chamber of Commerce — to adopt a policy at its AGM on Monday in Kelowna which advocates for an “open skies” policy for airline access to Canada.

The chamber insists that opening up the market to even just one new 777 cargo flight per day could create 1,700 labour hours or 310 family-supporting jobs.

Currently, that market is heavily restricted by the government’s current “blue sky” policy which severely limits the amount of passenger and freight traffic which can come in and out of YVR, according to the chamber.

“There are flights from places such as Asia coming in and out of our airport here, but there could be even more if the policy was changed,” Howard Harowitz, chair of Richmond Chamber of Commerce’s policy advisory committee, told the News.

“Canada is a trading nation, including tourism and freight, we’re an open economy and having free flow of goods and services is critical, yet we have policies in place that restrict that flow.”

Now that they have the ear of their national chamber – although it took some convincing the 600-plus delegates over the weekend

– Harowitz said it opens the door for the organization to put some serious lobbying pressure on Ottawa to re-think its policy on flight restrictions.

“We hope it will also galvanize our many local chambers across the country to lobby their MPs and business communities,” said Horowitz.

“The more pressure we can put on the government, the more chance we have of affecting change.”

However, this change will also put more pressure on the environment, according to the Suzuki Foundation.

“Although aviation is a relatively small industry, it has a disproportionately large impact on the climate system. It accounts for four to nine per cent of the total climate change impact of human activity.

“A special characteristic of aircraft emissions is that most of them are produced at cruising altitudes high in the atmosphere.

Scientific studies have shown that these high-altitude emissions have a more harmful climate impact because they trigger a series of chemical reactions and atmospheric effects that have a net warming effect,” states the foundation’s website. It’s estimated that the climate impact of aircraft is two to four times greater than the effect of their carbon dioxide emissions alone.

However, as far as trade is concerned, aviation restrictions are “driving both cargo and travellers across the border to U.S. airports and costing our economy dearly,” said Vancouver Board of Trade President and CEO Iain Black.

Perhaps it was more than money Last year I wrote about the case Moore v. Drummond, in which an adult child sought to overturn his mother’s Will on the basis that she did not have the necessary capacity. The Court held that the mother did, in fact, have capacity. The child (defendant) then sought to vary the Will, based on the Wills Variation Act. Reasons for judgment were handed down last week.

In the case, the defendant was disinherited in his mother’s Will. The circumstances were sad; the mother apparently had not wanted to become pregnant and seemed to resent her son for being born. As you might expect, they were distant. The child visited her periodically, but their contact was mostly by telephone. Curiously, the mother stated in her Will that her son “never visited her” and so disinherited him. The Estate was instead left to her neighbours, who were close friends.

The Court, in a rather short decision (also understandable), found that the deceased owed her son a moral obligation and that the reasons for disinheritance were insufficient to override the moral obligation. Nevertheless, the Court did not want to fully exclude the deceased’s Testamentary freedom, and therefore divided the Estate equally between the adult son and the neighbours.

This case has an unfortunate and sad background. It also appears that, since the Estate is valued at only about $110,000, after the expense of the litigation, the son will be left with a very modest amount. In the overall picture, I believe he deserved better.

No gains, no cooperation

W

e’ve already heard enough about the so-called cooperative gains mandate to last a lifetime, but we’re going to hear a lot more of that phrase.

Somewhere, tucked into an office in the Legislature or in a BC Liberal back room, is the architect of that phrase. This person is one of the masters of Orwellian doublethink.

Cooperative gains is what the government calls its policy of giving public sector workers raises, without actually giving them any more money.

How does that work, you ask? Email your answer with, “We’re not sure.” Apparently, the Liberals believe contracts like the ones they just signed with the CUPE school support staff will be magically filled thanks to the pots of leprechaun gold that school districts have hidden under their foundations.

In reality, it will mean finding money by cutting something else in the short term, and in the long term, likely by reducing the number of people on the support staff payroll. Which will, of course, have no impact on schools being cleaned, blocked pipes being cleared, or bad wiring being fixed.

This seems to be part of the belief by many governments, not just the provincial folks, that there is always waste, and that cutting of this waste can and must go on indefinitely.

Now, either this is true, and the government will eventually be two guys, one of whom will fire the other, or it isn’t. If it isn’t, then eventually everything that’s not vitally necessary will have been cut already.

Considering the Liberals have been in power for more than 12 years, you’d think they’d have finished this process by now.

So to sum up: cooperative gains involve no cooperation, and no one gains any extra resources from Victoria. But someone had fun coming up with the name.

CHOICE WORDS

Our lands face new threat The Editor, I am writing to advise Richmondites that our farmland and particularly the Garden City Lands (GCL) is under threat by actions of the B.C. government. Bill Bennett, Minister responsible for the B.C. government’s Core Review said recently, “We’re going to look at some sacrosanct things, like certain agencies.

We’re going to look at the Agricultural Land Reserve and the Agricultural Land Commission. I’m going to look at things that politicians have been nervous about looking at over the years and ask to better understand how they make their decisions and why they make their decisions and determine whether they’re structured to help achieve the goals of our provincial government.”

After fighting so hard to save the GCL from development, it would be a real shame if the provincial government overruled the City of Richmond and declared there would be no more Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). We Richmondites have big plans for the GCL. The city heard loud and clear that we want public open spaces, community gardens, test plots for new farmers, and natural parkland accessible to all.

Where would Richmond be without the ALR? I could see wall to wall highrises instead of beautiful vistas of the mountains; pavement and concrete instead of rich, productive land growing us food and giving us clean air.

As is evidenced by the planned expansion of PMV and Deltaport, it appears provincial and federal governments are bent on destroying our natural environment in order to ship in food and manufactured goods. But once the oil is gone and the ships stop coming, we’ll need to provide for ourselves.

I would urge everyone who cares about the Garden City Lands and farmland in Richmond to write a short note to the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Facilities at: FinanceCommittee@leg.bc.ca. The deadline for submissions is Oct. 16.

Steam engine older than states This Oct. 3 marked the anniversary of the unification (or re-unification) of the separate countries of East and West Germany.

This Oct. 30 marks the anniversary of the most recent attempt by the Parti Quebecois to secede from Canada by referendum.

The idea of the country, of states, is so universal it’s hard to imagine them not existing.

Every scrap of land, barring Antarctica, is claimed by one country or another.

Some of those countries are so damaged by civil war or government collapse that they barely qualify as states at all. Does Syria or the Central African Republic really exist just because we can find them on maps?

For the vast majority of human history, countries and nations as we know them didn’t exist.

We tend to project our modern ideas about nations into the past. We picture the Wessex of Alfred the Great and imagine it as basically modern England, but with fewer paved roads and One Direction concerts.

In fact, medieval Europe didn’t really have nationstates at all. People didn’t think of themselves as citizens of Wessex, or France, or Prussia. They identified themselves by their religion, by their village, by their language and culture, and by the person to whom they owed fealty.

In place of citizenship, feudalism had systems of personal oaths and obli-

gations. Miserable, dirtscratching peasants gave their oaths to the local landowner, who gave his to the nearest lord, who was a subject of a greater lord or duke, and so on up to the king. And it didn’t necessarily stop there.

Kings might owe their allegiance to other kings, at least in part. What we might call an empire was often less a single entity than a big central blob directly controlled by an emperor, plus a bunch of fringe areas ruled by their own kings, nabobs, lords, grand dukes, governors, and satraps, giving gifts, taxes, or military assistance to the emperor.

But most people just worried about their local lords or village bigwigs.

Borders were more fluid.

Villages and arable lands were known quantities and belonged to one king or another, but land was seldom mapped out accurately enough to say who owned what out in the woods or mountains.

There was nothing to prevent one person from holding multiple roles in a feudal structure. If the right people got married and/or died in the right order, a single individual could be,

say, King of Scotland and England at the same time, or King of England and Elector of Hanover.

Further, none of their possessions technically had to touch one another.

Go and look at a map of Germany before Napoleon used gunpowder to smooth things out. There were hundreds of little principalities and micro-kingdoms.

Parts of the IndiaBangladesh border are like that to this day because the border tried to follow the boundaries of the old local petty kings, turning it into a crazy patchwork. Parts of Indian territory are inside Bangladesh, itself surrounded by India.

Even once governments grew stronger and started creating something like a modern state, with a bureaucracy, national symbols, and firm borders, the people took a long time to catch up.

Feudalism might have been pretty cruddy, but at least you could point to a particular person as your local lord. Modern states depersonalized that, and it took a long time for the abstract concept of patriotism to catch on.

The next time you see a national flag, hear an anthem being sung, or look at those border lines on a map, remember that every single one of those things is barely older than the steam engine.

Pathways is a godsend, lifeline The Editor Re: Pathways to Support, News, Sept. 26.

Thank you for your excellent article on the Pathways Clubhouse here in Richmond.

The clubhouse, operated by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), is a godsend and a lifeline for people with serious brain disease.

We are very, very fortunate to have this wonderful organization right here in our own backyard.

The Clubhouse gives its members a friendly place to go 365 days a year where they find friendship and inexpensive, nutritious meals. Run by the CMHA — Richmond, Pathways also helps members find affordable, safe and secure housing and advocates on behalf of members.

One member I talk to loves the Pathways Clubhouse. Pathways also operates a Thrift Shop, staffed by members. There is a comprehensive mental health library on site, as well.

They also assist members in finding jobs and in making the transition from temporary to permanent employment.

Having the Pathways Clubhouse and the CMHA in Richmond makes it easy for us to give back to our own community.

There are many ways to help: You can give money, or drop off gently used items for the Thrift Shop, and then turn around and shop there yourself!

You can volunteer your services. Every dollar stays in Richmond and helps get Clubhouse mem-

Friday Feature GO FLY A KITE

GORD GOBLE/SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Some members of the British Columbia Kitefliers Association show off their spectacular kites during a session at Garry Point Park, a venue the organization regards as having the most reliable winds in the Lower Mainland.

Garry Point gusts are wind beneath fliers’ wings News photographer discovers passion driving enthusiasts to the city’s most westerly point every weekend

BY G ORD G OBLE

Special to the News

ell Dianne O’Brien to “go fly a kite” and she’ll likely smile and answer, “where?” and “when?”

O’Brien, you see, is rather passionate about the concept of kite-flying.

Indeed, the now-retired Richmondite has been that way since the 1990s, when she caught her first glimpse of a wild new take on the old-school Ben Franklin electricity experiment. Called “dual line” kites because they were tethered to their pilots by two lengths of string rather than one, the objects of O’Brien’s affections tore through the skies at unimaginable speeds and manoeuvred like barn swallows.

That they often did so in groups, in tandem because their operators worked as a team down below, only added to her fascination.

Soon, O’Brien would buy her own kite — a “Trilby” — which she promptly hid under her bed.

For the next year, she shied away from participating in the male-dominated pastime and wondered if she’d ever jump in the deep end.

But jump she did. Today, O’Brien is an ambassador for the sport in her role as workshop coordinator for British Columbia Kitefliers Association (BCKA) and one of the keenest team fliers you’ll find.

Sari Becker, conversely, is a relative noob. Spurred by a festival at Vancouver’s Vanier Park in 2011 where worldclass teams brandished newfangled state-of-the-art kites called “quad lines,” Becker took the plunge soon thereafter

and began flying.

She spent “four winter months, mostly flying alone, practising at a friend’s place in Dewdney” and felt the obsession grow. Yet, it didn’t take long to realize that watching and doing are two completely different things. She calls it the “I want to break my kite stage,” and believes most serious fliers endure the very same sense of overwhelming frustration that ruled over her for the better part of the next year.

Bob Koga wanted to learn to kiteboard. He was “looking for a place to fly” and, like Becker a decade later, ended up at windy Vanier Park where he got his first taste of team kite flying. As low-key as they come, Koga nevertheless fell hard for the idea and spent untold hours over the next few years coming to grips with this most deceptively tricky discipline.

O’Brien, Becker, and Koga. Three distinctly different people, separated by vast distances (Koga and Becker live in the Fraser Valley) yet drawn together by one critical bond — the love of team kite flying.

It is that bond that keeps them coming back virtually every weekend to Richmond’s Garry Point, where they spend the better part of the afternoon letting their imaginations soar.

W

hy Garry Point? For one thing, it’s home to some of the most “reliable winds,” as Becker puts it, in the Lower Mainland. (More on that in the sidebar.) But there’s something else.

Garry Point is also home turf to the glue that brought the group together. Koga calls her the “catalyst.” Becker speaks of her “tough love” coaching. Her name is Cathy Tung and all three point to her as the…ahem…wind beneath their wings.

It was a warm September afternoon when I chanced upon this informal group that, as usual, included Tung and her clearly talented kite-flying partner Steve Brown.

At first, I couldn’t grasp the magic. Viewing the spectacle from the side, kites to the left and operators to the right, is far from optimal. But shift your perspective 90 degrees and prepare to be dazzled.

In the foreground, a row of fliers. In the distance, a row of kites, flawlessly spaced and propped upright in takeoff position. The “caller,” (here it is Koga) issues his first command and, in near-perfect synchronicity, the kites move skyward.

Just as suddenly, they stop, hovering in space as if held see Flying page 11

Flying: ‘Freeing feeling’ Continued from page 10 by an unseen hand.

Then they’re off again, moving this way and that — perhaps a starburst, a game of chase, or any other equally impressive versions of aerial ballet. And all the while, the strings connecting each human to their device — all were quad-line kites, so that’s four strings to each kite — somehow manage to remain tangle-free.

The soft-spoken Koga, a guy who can fly no less than three kites simultaneously, talks of the group’s role in a world record-setting, 81-kite grid performed in Washington State earlier this summer.

Jung is effervescent, comfortable in her role as catalyst. Becker does not hide her past frustration — a feeling shared by the others

as they learned the ropes — or her desire to become a better flier than she is today.

And O’Brien, a woman who regularly takes the art of kite-building to local classrooms and has seen kites evolve from singleline to double-line to the current quad-line beasts, just enjoys the day.

Soon enough, Koga volunteered a brief tutorial and handed me the reigns. That’s the way this group rolls — seemingly never too busy to help out a rookie.

Though my 10 minutes of flying generated no less than a half-dozen painful crashes with the hard, hard ground, it also produced one brief dalliance with greatness — one moment where the slick contraption at the end of my tethers actually responded to my wishes. It was an amazing, freeing feeling.

Park boasts windy history

BY GORD GOBLE Special to the News

Way back in 1821, British businessman Nicholas Garry, working for the powerful Hudson’s Bay Company, undertook a monumental journey to ensure his place in history.

Sailing from London to New York and then travelling — often by canoe — to distant outposts across the colonies that now form Canada, Garry was on a mission to explain a potential merger between Hudson’s Bay and the North West Company.

The surprisingly descriptive diary Garry kept during his voyage is still with us today, delivering a rare glimpse into the Canada of two centuries ago.

His name lives on in other ways too, such as the Winnipeg forerunner known as Fort Garry. Or the native B.C. tree known as the Garry Oak. And even closer to home we have the kite-flier’s paradise known as Garry Point.

It’s unlikely anyone flew kites at Garry Point in the 1820s, but one thing is certain — it was just a windy then as it is now.

And therein lies the key to Garry Point’s

high-flying success. The park juts into the ocean like a handle at the base of Richmond.

It’s surrounded on three sides by water and is thus a prime target for westerly, southwesterly and northwesterly winds.

Even its landlocked edge, being connected as it is to oh-so-flat Steveston, is unguarded.

This makes it quite unique amongst kiting hot spots.

But there’s more. Garry Point itself is relatively flat, never rising more than a few feet above sea level. It is bereft, for the most part, of trees and structures, providing plenty of uninterrupted space for every form of kite.

Thomas highlights the focus on the online world as a shift that makes writers all the more important in every day jobs.

“There haven’t been too many other times in history where it’s so important to be a writer,” she said. “All companies need good writers, whether it’s updating the web content, writing sales copy. They need staff writers.

“And working on writing also means working on communication skills, which is the bedrock of a society. It has a pay-off to how that child develops and becomes a leader.”

Tickets for the conference are $89, with a $79 sibling rate. They include six workshops, a goody bag, door prizes, a morning and afternoon snack and lunch.

Scholarships for families who couldn’t afford admission were available, but the deadline was Sept. 30.

Participants also get to take part in the launch of Thomas’ new book, Polly Wants to Be a Writer: The Junior Authors Guide to Writing and Getting Published. The conference runs until 6 p.m. For more information, or to buy tickets, visit laurathomascommunications.com/conference.

The store is decorated with fine wine crystal to make your wine look and taste better. Wosk recommends Schott Zwiesel, break-resistant titanium crystal at half the price of other glassware.

And Sip Wines holds special wine events such as the Nov.14 Iconic Red Wine Tasting and Winemaker Dinners to really educate your palate. Sip Wines is located at 1030-11660 Steveston Hwy (www.sipwines.ca).

Wine&Dine Recipe: Include plums, other fruit as peaches get scarce Continued from page 16 fruits and vegetables, not only raw, but also cooked or prepared in a different way to show the students how versatile and tasty fruits and vegetables can be.

Last week was our second delivery of local B.C. produce and we were fortunate enough to receive a shipment of organic peaches from Harker’s Organics, a five-generation family business located in Cawston, B.C. The variety of peaches they supplied was O’Henry, a bright redskinned, medium-large freestone peach with very little fuzz and yellow flesh that is sweet and juicy.

This week, I will be featuring the leftover peaches in peach hand pies.

Actually, the ones that my students and I will be making for the student population to sample are more like “finger pies” because they are tiny.

Since we’re into October now, peaches are scarce, but you can make hand pies with peaches, nectarines, plums, or almost any other fruit that you like.

Just be sure to dice the fruit finely and depending on how sweet and juicy the fruit is, adjust the amount of sugar and cornstarch accordingly.

The recipes are adapted from Smitten Kitchen (Deb Perelman’s popular food blog and website).

Peach Hand Pies

it together into a ball by kneading gently.

If it is still too dry, add more buttermilk, about one tablespoon at a time and knead briefly until it comes together.

Divide dough in half, wrap each half in plastic wrap, flatten into a disc and chill in fridge for at least one hour or overnight.

Ingredients for Filling: 2 1/2 lbs peaches 2 tsp fresh lemon juice 3 tbsp sugar (1/4 cup for a sweeter filling) 3 tbsp light brown sugar (1/4 cup for a sweeter filling)

pinch ground cinnamon pinch salt 2 tbsp + 1 tsp corn starch Directions for Filling: 1. Chop peaches into small pieces (approx. 1/4inch dice).

2. In large bowl, mix together fruit and remaining ingredients; mix until well combined.

Set fruit mixture aside.

Assembling the Pies: 1. Remove dough from fridge, unwrap and roll dough on a floured work surface until 1/8 inch thick.

Using a 3” cookie cutter, cut out pie shapes (round or square) from dough and remove scraps.

Place on a parchmentlined baking sheet and fill the centre of each pie with a small amount of fruit filling.

Do not be tempted to overfill the pies. Dough scraps can be re-rolled but handle the dough as little as possible and work quickly to prevent making the dough tough.

2. Quickly brush a little cold water around the circumference of the dough, and fold it in half so the other side comes down

egg yolk wash.

Sprinkle sanding sugar generously over the pies and place pies in the oven to bake.

Bake until the hand pies are golden brown and just slightly cracked, about 2025 minutes.

Remove the pies from the oven and let stand to cool slightly before serving.

4. Leftover fruit filling can be placed in a saucepan, cooked and stirred gently over medium heat until cornstarch and juices thicken. Remove from heat, cool and serve with ice cream.

2. Stir in the 3/4 cup buttermilk; the dough won’t be cohesive.

Using your hands, bring

over the filling, creating either a semicircle or triangle.

Seal the hand pie, and make a decorative edge by pressing the edges of the dough together with the back of a fork.

Repeat process with remaining dough.

Roadrunners in the market for new head coach After three outstanding seasons at the helm, Greg Rennie returns to Junior “A” ranks in 2014 with Delta Islanders

BY MARK BOOTH

mbooth@richmond-news.com

A major shake-up with the Delta Islanders Junior “A” Lacrosse Club has made a rippling impact on the Richmond Roadrunners Intermediate “A” team for the 2014 season.

After three outstanding seasons running the Roadrunners’ program, Greg Rennie has accepted the head coaching position with the Islanders. He will also serve as the club’s assistant general manager and be heavily involved in player personnel decisions.

Rennie guided Richmond to three consecutive provincial appearances, highlighted by a silver medal finish this summer. The Roadrunners also won a pair of regular season titles. He says he will help the club find a replacement and has a potential candidate in mine. His assistant coaches — Dave Perog and Ryan Keith — are also heading to Delta.

“It’s tough to leave such an outstanding organization,” said Rennie. “For all the guys coming back, I wish I could stay another year and go win a provincial championship but this was too good of an opportunity to pass up on. But I definitely will be helping them out with finding a new coaching staff.”

The Islanders also announced Gary McBride has stepped down as president and replaced by Bruce Davidson, who will also continue on as general manager.

Davidson’s son Connor played for Richmond last season.

The developments added up to a harsh send-off for Islanders former head coach Shaun Springett

MARK BOOTH/RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond Intermediate “A” Roadrunners are looking for a new head coach after Greg Rennie agreed to return to the B.C. Junior “A” Lacrosse League with the Delta Islanders in 2014. Rennie guided Richmond to three consecutive provincial berths. who guided the club to its firstever berth in the league finals a year ago and had the team in contention again this past season.

That changed in July when the club sent top scorers Cody Nass and Eli McLaughlin to the New Westminister Salmonbellies for prospects and draft picks. Nass led the B.C. Intermediate league in scoring in 2012 with Richmond before forgoing his final year of eligibility to play for Delta.

The fact Springett had no say in the transaction hinted the direction the Islanders were headed in 2014. However, it was a deal many believed had to be made

with the organization thin on talent beyond next season.

Rennie’s return gives the Islanders a coach who has had his finger on the pulse of the B.C. Intermediate “A” Lacrosse League. The Ladner native is also aware of the current talent at the midget level which will serve well for future drafts.

“This really has nothing to do with Shaun’s ability as a coach,” said Rennie on Monday. “He did a great job here. It had everything to do with scouting and recruiting. I never would have agreed to return if that trade with New West wasn’t made because there would

have been so little to work with beyond next season.”

Springett had heard rumours in the summer the club was planning to go a different direction but thought there might have been a change in plans until he got the news late last week. He is expected to land on his feet very soon with another team.

“Lacrosse coaches are hired to be fired,” he chuckled. “I thank the organization for the opportunity they gave me and I will really miss working with those kids. Sure, I was looking forward to making a run at a championship next season with the team we

had coming back. If anything, I wished they had made the move at the time of the trade as it would have made more sense to me.”

Meanwhile, Rennie has already been green lighted to shore up his roster for 2014 and promises it will be a very busy offseason, starting with the upcoming league AGM. “We will be making some huge deals,” promises Rennie.

“You will see more trades (in the next five months) than you did in the past two years. We will definitely be looking at bringing some third-year guys to help push this team over the top.”

Local pair help UBC to fast start

A pair of Richmond Girls Soccer alumni have helped the UBC Thunderbirds off to an impressive start to the Canada West season.

The nation’s fourth ranked women’s soccer team blanked the University of Northern British Columbia Timberwolves 4-0 last Sunday in Prince George.

Third-year defender Sydney Morrison came off the bench to earn an assist on Janine Frazao’s second goal of the game in the 72nd minute which rounded out the scoring. The McMath secondary graduate was with the Vancouver Whitecaps U18 Elite Girls Program prior to enrolling at UBC. The Thunderbirds’ starting 11 includes forward Taryn Lim. The McNair secondary graduate enjoyed an outstanding collegiate career at Langara before heading to the Point Grey Campus.

The Thunderbirds remain unbeaten on the season and improve to 3-0-3 without having surrendered a goal to its opponents for the fourth straight game.

Up next for UBC is a pair of games at home against the University of Manitoba today and tomorrow. Both matches are set to kickoff at 5 p.m. at David Sidoo Field.
