Excited fans packed out the Aberdeen Centre last week to see five major singers and teen idols from Taiwan and China. They were in town for Fairchild Radio’s 20th anniversary special, Global Chinese Golden Chart North American concert. The concert took place last Friday night.

Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism presented each star with a Certificate of Appreciation for promoting cultural exchange between Canada and Asia.

While debate continues to burn over a campaign for English sign bylaws to rule over pockets of Chinese business resistance, a supermarket chain has pulled off a cross-cultural culinary coup.

Many businesses across the city display dual language signage — usually English and Chinese, in varying proportions depending on what community you’re in.

Few, if any, however, can boast being able to cater in almost every way possible to both the Asian and English-speaking communities under one roof.

The result of PriceSmart’s transformation 16 months ago at their Ackroyd Road store has resulted most days in parking lot overload, such is the success of the initiative.

Half of the store is dedicated entirely to Asian products and half Western, with the neutrality of fruit and vegetables a “no man’s land” down the middle.

The signage on the outside — half English and Chinese — reflects what shoppers see inside.

And according to Darrell Jones — president of PriceSmart’s owner, the B.C.-founded Overwaitea Food Group — the store is the only one of its kind in North America.

“We’re quite unique in we have a complete

Conner Macdonald, 11 (right) began raising money for the Ryan’s Well Foundation when he was 10. He encouraged his St. Paul’s Catholic School classmates (above) to join him.

BY ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

It was 18 months ago that 10-year-old Conner Macdonald caught a TV show about a six-yearold boy called Ryan who made it his life’s work to help build wells in Africa.

After discovering that sick Ugandan families would walk for hours to get a drink of dirty water, Conner, a Grade 5 student at the time, felt compelled to help the Ryan’s Well Foundation in some way.

He started by saving Christmas money from relatives in 2011, then it was his birthday money and other meagre sources of income that a 10year-old could muster — all with the goal of hitting a $2,000-target some point down the line.

Realizing it wasn’t an overnight compulsion, it wasn’t long before friends and family began to take Conner, now 11, seriously and dad Angus helped him set up a bank account for the fundraising.

And last year, when his classmates and teacher at Richmond’s St. Paul’s Catholic School found out, the ball really started to roll when they all put a shoulder to the wheel and organized a bake sale, raising $440.

“His teacher was so inspired that she put in another $100 herself,” said his proud dad, who added Conner’s instincts to lead and to help stem from watching his big brother Jordan, who was a Cops for Cancer junior captain at age six.

“He’s now up over $1,000 and we’ve been in touch with Ryan’s Well to ask them how we can work together and help even more.

“After talking with them, the target for Conner and his class is now $5,000, double what we originally were going to raise.”

The reason, said Macdonald, for the higher target is that the project will be earmarked as a personal project, “rather than one under an umbrella of world-wide fundraising.”

“This way, the kids will feel an attachment to a particular village and to its people, especially the children who will drink from the well.

“It’s a wonderful feeling knowing that these school children, led by my son Conner, are learning a valuable lesson that their world is much larger than what they perceive and that they, even as children, can make a difference and teach us all a lesson.”

Macdonald even contacted a local realtor, Izabela Wasiela, who he’d read about in the News after she and Kanya Deutsch spent two weeks in

Livingstone, Zambia volunteering with the Happy Africa Foundation.

Conner’s dad thought the women’s efforts — teaching special needs children and caring for young children in an afterschool program — would be great for the students to hear and urged Wasiela to talk to them.

“I was only too happy to go see them,” said Wasiela, who also chipped $100 into the class’s Ryan’s Well pot. “It took me to age 31 before I did something like this and these children are doing it already, they’re amazing and it was a very rewarding experience for me.”

The children are organizing another fundraiser soon and hope to hit their target before the end of 2013.

Oval marketing plan sought for new Olympic Museum

BY PHILIP RAPHAEL

praphael@richmond-news.com

Think you’ve got an idea to market and establish the brand of the forthcoming, $5.6-million Olympic Museum at the oval?

Officials with the City of Richmond and Richmond Olympic Oval Corporation

are hoping there will be plenty of great ones after calling for an expression of interest in the task last week. Those interested are expected to attend a meeting today (May 22).

City spokesperson Ted Townsend said the job to develop a marketing plan for the facility called

the Richmond Olympic Experience is something needed for any tourism attraction in order for it to be successfully marketed to a potential audience.

Opening day for the museum is scheduled for late 2014.

Originally, the facility was slated to open this fall,

but Townsend said that does not represent a delay.

“As we worked through the project plan we realized that to do the detailed design and exhibit development and acquisitions that’s going to be required, our initial date was a little ambitious,” Townsend said.

Oval officials are still

waiting to re-schedule a design theme unveiling for the project that was supposed to take place in February to coincide with a Canadian Olympic Committee meeting.

Changes to COC board members’ schedules nixed that and a date has yet to be re-scheduled.

NEW EXHIBIT NOW OPEN

No feather-flapping among Chinese radio listeners

BY ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

A few years ago, the thorny issue of too much Chinese language on signs

would have gotten under the skin of Richmond’s predominant Asian community.

Not this time around, according to the city’s leading Chinese-speaking radio

station, Fairchild.

Travena Lee, Fairchild Radio’s news and public affairs director, recalls when the topic hit the headlines three or four years ago and she remembers lots of people getting very “excited” and feeling discriminated against.

By contrast, after a group of English-speaking residents, armed with a 1,000signature petition, failed in March in a bid to convince city council to investigate a language bylaw, Fairchild’s phones hardly lit up after it reported all the fuss.

“A few years ago, people were asking questions like ‘why are people not welcoming us,’” said Lee.

“(The Richmond News stories) on Chinese signs in Richmond was widely reported in the Chinese media and our station did an open-phone show to gauge public opinion on it.

“The callers were not very upset and took it as a fact of life.

“I think they have just come to the conclusion that people will continue to talk about it, but I don’t think (the Chinese community) takes it that seriously any more.”

Although pointing out it’s only a very small section that advertises in Chinese only, Lee believes the Asian business community is growing more confident in its identity

Fairchild's Travena Lee.

as time wears on and doesn’t feel the need to change if change is not needed to succeed. “The feeling we get is they can do well in the Chinese market and they don’t think the non-Chinese market would want their business anyway,” added Lee.

BUILDING BRIDGES

Little Saigon shows signs of hope

BY ALAN CAMPBELL

acampbell@richmond-news.com

Much like its next-door neighbour, Vancouver has its fair share of Asian immigrants, generously spread into ethnic enclaves around the city.

And much like Richmond, Vancouver is no stranger to the debate over the language used on business signs, inside stores and in communities.

Vancouver has, historically, juggled off and on over the decades the hot potato of what language should be most prominent on things such as signs.

And while earlier this year a group of Richmond residents appealed to their city to introduce a bylaw demanding a mandatory predominance of English, a Vancouver councillor can actually remember a day when Chinese businesses went out of their way to lure the Englishspeaking community.

“The language issue goes as far back as the ‘70s,” said Coun.

Kerry Jang, who’s third-generation Chinese and spent a lot of time in Vancouver’s Chinatown while growing up.

“I was much younger but I do recall that the (Chinese) merchants

realized very quickly that it was good for business to have both languages.

“They even held their own “We Speak English” campaign to bring English-speaking customers in.”

The situation in Vancouver 40 years ago is the polar opposite of what’s happening in small pockets of Richmond today.

Customers: Taken by surprise Continued from page 1 “We’ve been in business for 98/99 years and if you’re going to be successful, you’d better understand your community.”

Explaining the decision to flip half of its store over to an Asian theme, Jones said it was vital to “take a look at the demographics, to better know what the community is looking for.”

The non-Chinese-speaking customers were taken aback at first, Jones revealed, before they started to realize the benefits.

“Initially, I think it was a bit of a surprise, but I think we found that our customers remained loyal to us,” he said.

“I think they realized there were lots of meal solutions on the ‘other side.’”

Becoming bilingual inside and out has come at a cost, which, for business reasons, Jones wasn’t willing to divulge.

He said, however, the investment has been more than worthwhile and they’re starting to see the benefits in catering to two different worlds under one roof.

Officials with home furnishings giant IKEA are saying they offer some of the industry’s most generous conditions for their employees to qualify for benefits.

This comes in light of the current work disruption at the Richmond location by striking members of Teamsters Local 213 who started job action last Monday (May 13).

Benefits begin for employees at 15 hours a week, not the 24 hours union officials stated last week, said Madeleine LöwenborgFrick, public relations manager for IKEA Canada.

Employees who work between 15 and 23 hours receive 80 per cent company

paid benefits for themselves, but not their families. This is well above the industry standard, she added.

Union officials contended the majority of their members, who work part time, find it difficult to accumulate enough hours to qualify.

The company also differed over the union’s statement regarding wage rates topping out at $21/hour.

Currently IKEA Richmond employees are paid a range between minimum wage and $23.67, with 27 per cent of the 360 IKEA Richmond employees earning more than $21/hour.

These wages are well above industry standard, said Löwenborg-Frick, adding it is important to note that the new contract does provide for annual increases

Feathering the nest

f there was every any doubt that Stephen Harper’s Conservatives bear zero resemblance to the long ago reformers who railed against government corruption and pork barrel politics, the expense scandal that’s engulfed Senator Mike Duffy has surely put it to rest.

Duffy’s challenges with basic standards of ethical behaviour, not to mention the former journalist’s professed difficulty understanding forms, are already well known. The senator was caught claiming that he lived in P.E.I. — despite being a fixture in Ottawa for decades — in order to claim $90,000 in expenses over a period of several years, to which he somehow felt entitled.

Duffy later said he was going to do the right thing and pay the money back.

Last week, however, it was revealed Duffy never had to worry about coming up with the cash himself. That’s because Nigel Wright, Harper’s former chief of staff, wrote a personal cheque to cover the $90,000 for the hard-up senator. Wright quit his post May 19.

Why do this? Duffy has attributes valued by the Conservatives. He’s a partisan fighter and bagman who delivers — qualities more admired than nobler traits in many Ottawa circles.

Duffy has already disgraced himself and readily become the poster boy for everything that’s wrong with the Senate, largely seen as a parking garage for party faithful. But Wright should have known better. Not only was the “gift” against the rules, it leaves the impression that the prime minister’s closest allies condone Duffy’s fraud. Harper spoke briefly Tuesday on the issue, but the public still deserves a fuller explanation.

CHOICE WORDS

Seniors need more help

The Editor, I would like to congratulate the three MLAs that were elected to represent Richmond the Legislature on May 14.

It was disappointing that during the election the majority of the other candidates were so ill-informed on the issues facing the older adult population in Richmond.

We have a very unique community of elders in Richmond who are facing some significant challenges.

For instance, almost 60 per cent of them immigrated to Canada and a large portion of those speak little or no English, which in itself causes a huge barrier for them to get information and access programs and services they need as they age.

Compounding this is the fact that with today’s technology, most information is web-based. For example, there are a couple of very good videos on YouTube explaining the DriveABLE testing process, but how many who are 80 or older, which is the demographic that is mainly being referred for this test, have computers let alone know how to use You Tube?

The last B.C. Liberal government has produced some very helpful resources publications in English, Chinese, Punjabi and some other languages for our older population on government services and programs, but the target population isn’t getting connected to these.

It would be very helpful if the new Liberal government would work with the older adult population in the province to find better ways to connect the information with the intended users.

Providing seniors with information in a senior friendly way will help to keep them healthy and happy longer with less stress on health care dollars.

I hope that Linda Reid, John Yap and Teresa Wat will take issues like these impacting on our older adults to the Legislature in Victoria.

Louise Young Richmond

Can Clark the Campaigner govern?

Well, I was wrong.

Along with pretty much everyone else, I thought the election last week was going to produce a result exactly the opposite of what actually happened.

Polls were uniformly incorrect and created an entrenched impression that the B.C. Liberals were too far behind in public opinion to stand much of a chance of winning.

But the election also served as a reminder that what actually happens during an election campaign matters, and can shape the outcome of the vote.

The shorthand is this: the B.C. Liberals ran a masterful campaign, while the NDP’s campaign totally flopped. That statement applies to both the central campaign, which is wrapped around the party leader, and the local campaign, which is responsible for identifying supporters and getting them to the polls.

The B.C. Liberals’ campaign was harshly negative towards the NDP, and filled with inaccuracies about their track record and achievements.

Yet there was also a positive tone to it as well, and it obviously appealed to voters.

For all the ridicule heaped on Christy Clark (by myself and others) for her fantastical promise to retire the province’s enormous pile of debt through

Keith Baldrey IN THE HOUSE

the creation of liquefied natural gas terminals, it’s clear that people bought into at least part of that message because it was about the future.

Clark and her party had a central campaign theme and stuck to it, relentlessly hammering home the idea that they alone could be trusted on economic issues.

In stark contrast to the B.C. Liberals’ clarity and consistency was the inept NDP campaign, which was unfocused and over confident. Party leader Adrian Dix’s sudden announcement that the party opposed the Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal helped cement the idea the NDP was opposed to economic development.

The NDP also decided not to hold the B.C. Liberals accountable for a number of scandals and controversies. The B.C. Liberals, on the other hand, attacked Dix’s character and honesty. One approach was positive and disastrous; the other was nasty and effective.

Clark can now stop campaigning and focus on governing. She has rebuilt her party and renewed her caucus (half of them are

first-time MLAs, many of them with experience at the municipal politics level).

Past controversies (the HST being the most notable) have now been wiped clean from the slate. The people have spoken and have sent an unmistakable message: Clark and her party are the ones they trust, and not the NDP. It came down to a choice between a beaming, bouncy and positive woman and a serious, uncomfortable and uninspiring man.

The result shows voters didn’t really care what happened the past two years, and were more concerned about the future.

And in the end, they went with that beaming woman in the Canucks jersey over the unsmiling fellow they didn’t really know.

Clark now has been given a mandate by the people and even though only about half the electorate voted, it’s a strong one.

She proved to be a dynamic political campaigner and her challenge now is to show she’s also an effective governor.

But until she falters, she should be given the benefit of the doubt and the chance to show her stuff.

And I’m not wrong about that.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

The Richmond News May 22. 2013 A9

Clark should go seat-less real job? Oh, yeah, there are none in the B.C. Liberals’ economy!

Looks to me like the beleagured taxpayers have decided to boot this one pig off the trough.

Deal with it.

George Pope

B.C.`s economy strong.

I will work as part of the BC Liberal team towards delivering on this priority, and others, for the consitiuents of RichmondSteveston.

To the staff and many volunteers who came forward to assist with my campaign, I say a big thank you! We couldn`t have succeeded without you. Many of you spent hundreds of hours contributing to the campaign and I sincerely thank each of you.

The Editor, Having had time to catch my breath and reflect on the provincial election last week, I must say how very impressed I was with all my fellow candidates in Richmond-Steveston.

All are clearly very passionate about helping build a strong community and for that I think we are all very fortunate.

I’m humbled by the over 1,700 voters in this riding who cast their ballot for me and the vision of a sustainable future put forward by the Green Party of BC.

We made history in B.C. and Canada and will take a moment to celebrate before getting back to the task of continuing to build strong communities by working together.

To each of these 1,700 voters, thank you for exercising your right to vote and refusing to become part of the 48 per cent who didn’t vote. You are democracy! Now I’m back to focusing on family, friends and serving you as a community volunteer.

Jerome Dickey MLA Candidate

during contract negotiations.

Class size and composition limits helped to ensure that special needs students had the qualified teacher and educational assistant help they needed.

This benefited every student in the class. When Ms. Clark proudly, as she described it, passed a law to remove these limits, educational conditions immediately began to deteriorate.

When the Liberal government subsequently imposed contracts with modest salary increases for teachers but refused to fund these increases, it meant that school boards were forced to cut: programs, teachers, educational assistant hours, resources and supplies not to mention things such as school maintenance and janitorial services.

Yet the process of inclusion has continued and, as Ms. Champion pointed out, the needs in certain categories, such as students with autism have increased dramatically.

Many special needs students today have a complex combination of learning needs, social, emotional and behaviourial issues and may

also be learning English and experiencing Canadian school culture for the first time.

The provincial Liberal government estimated that, with this legislation, it removed $275 million from the education system each year. The BCTF estimates that since 2002 a total of $3.36 billion, which should have been available to education B.C.’s children, has been siphoned off into provincial coffers.

This has meant a loss of 1,500 specialist teachers.

What has this meant for public education? It has meant huge unmanageable case loads for remaining special education teachers.

It has meant that students new to the district are usually dropped into classrooms without any kind of assessment.

It has meant that students can wait months or even years for diagnosis and because of this go without adequate support in classrooms.

You can imagine the strain that this creates on learning conditions in classrooms. Many teachers and educational assistants feel

that they are reaching a breaking point.

Richmond School District is to be commended for its philosophy of inclusion and for its efforts to maintain inclusive programs in the face of the Liberal government’s funding cuts.

Given that it attracts special needs students from elsewhere, it appears that other school districts may have given up.

Gilbert Smith Richmond teacher

To the other candidates from the other parties who ran in Richmond Steveston, I thank you for participating in the democratic process.

Our community and province are the better for it.

Well done for making your mark

Learning conditions deteriorate under Liberals The Editor, Re: “District updates inclusion policy review,” News, April 9.

I read with interest the comments of Kathy Champion, director of instruction and learning services for Richmond School Board.

It is definitely a testament to Richmond teachers and educational assistants that this district’s policy of inclusion attracts special needs students from outside the district.

However, given that resources to meet the needs of these students are strained to say the least, I wonder if this is a good thing. Teachers, educational assistants, school administrators and I am sure school board personnel are well aware of a very important fact: for years the education system in B.C. has been strained to the breaking point by lack of provincial funding.

This began in 2002 when Christy Clark, as education minister, illegally tore up teachers’ contracts.

Since the 1990s, teachers had focused on improving student learning conditions rather than substantially increasing their own salaries

To my fellow elected Richmond BC Liberal candidates, Linda Reid and Teresa Wat: Congratulations!

The Editor, Re: “Riding slips to bottom of turnout pile,” News, May 17.

Perhaps those who feel voting is a waste of time or that there are better things to do, ought to be forced to visit the various gravesites that dot the world where Canadians fought and died for democracy.

For starters, I would have these nincompoops visit Busan, South Korea and the UN gravesite — a beautiful place but for a horrible reason.

These silly people who offer nothing more than lame excuses will be able to look at the row upon row of perfectly kept gravestones that includes the Canadians who fought and died in Korea along with the thousands of others from the other UN countries that went to the aid of South Korea when called upon.

Or, if the Far East is not to their liking, then they can hop on over to Europe and walk among the thousands of crosses that cover acres of land to signify where Canadians and other are buried. As a veteran of the Korean War, I take exception to those who profess to be Canadians but spit on the aforementionedgraves by not voting.

Lord Byng elementary school started the Richmond chapter of Ruben’s Shoes, a charity currently collecting shoes for children in the Dominican Republic. The school started fundraising a few weeks ago and got three other elementary schools involved: Hamilton (pictured above), McKinney and Westwind. Steveston, Thompson and West Richmond Community Centres also got involved. The school hoped to collect 500 pairs, but reached 1,750 by May 10. Although the shoe drive is over, Lord Byng is still collecting.

Directions to the best patios in Richmond The News takes a look at five of the city’s hottest spots to sit and sun

BY JAMIL A. KARIM Special to the News

Look outside and you’ll notice something different. It’s not raining, it’s half past 9 and the sun’s still out, and it’s warm enough to not wear socks for at least the next three months. These are the early signs patio season has arrived.

This time of year is especially fun in Richmond, as the city is blessed with a wide variety of patios that are located in all parts of the city. We’ll take a look at our five favourite patios and let you in on any unique quirks or special features that make these patios the place to be this summer.

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Pier 73, above, has one of the best views in the city. The Blue Canoe in Steveston is one of the most popular watering holes in the village. It comes with blankets and a marina view, as well as a guiding post for those en route to Kelowna or Nelson.

PHOTO SUBMITTED

The Flying Beaver is one of the most unique patios in the Lower Mainland.

The Flying Beaver

Located on the Fraser River, The Flying Beaver has one of the most unique patios in all of the Lower Mainland. Whether you’re looking for a beautiful view, entertainment, or even wildlife, you’d be hard-pressed not to find it at The Beaver.

“We provide the whole package,” said Scott McVicker, general manager at The Flying Beaver. “We face both south and west so we have a great view of the sunset. We have a ton of activity with the seaplanes coming in and taking off all throughout the day.

We even have a family of beavers who live under the ramp.”

The Beaver features both a covered and open-air patio and is one of Richmond’s most appealing hot spots during the summertime.

Pier 73 – Delta Hotel

(Formerly The Elephant and Castle)

An “Island Oasis” as it sometimes referred to as, the Pier 73 patio is located right along the Fraser River and has one of the best views in the entire city.

“The size [more than 100 seats] and views of our patio is what makes it so unique,” said James Addington, food and beverage manager. “People can see the boats and planes coming in throughout the day, and at night time we have a perfect view of the sunset.”

This patio is one of the largest in Richmond. Additionally, it has both alcoholic and non-alcoholic seating, making it perfect for families and a night out.

and surrounding trees.

“We have golfers who come down and sit on the patio after a round, and we’ll also get families who want to spend time out there as well,” said Jivan Sahota, a Country Meadows employee for the last eight years. “The fire pit and tiki torches keep it nice and warm so we’ll have people out there all night” The patio has more than 20 tables and is one of the largest golf course patios in the city.

The Mandalay

Another Steveston gem, The Mandalay

offers a beach style patio, equipped with large umbrellas, lounge sofas and wicker seats.

Additionally, The Mandalay’s patio is closest to the water than any other patio in Richmond, with it being only three meters above the pier. It’s often in the details where we find the most vital information.

“I think we have some big differentiators compared to other patios in Richmond,” said Allan Yeo, owner of The Mandalay. “You won’t find another beach/Mediterranean style patio in the city and our location is very good”.

The Blue Canoe

One of the most attractive locations in Steveston, The Blue Canoe is known throughout Richmond for its waterfront patio.

Located right on top of the Lower Fraser River, the patio is one of the busiest hotspots in the city for good reason. Seating more than 40, this patio comes equipped with a marina view, cozy blankets, and a friendly guiding post if you’re looking to make it to Kelowna.

What more could you ask for?

Country Meadows Golf Course

The only patio on this list that’s not set right above the water, this location has a spectacular view and peaceful environment that more than makes up for it.

The patio has a clear view of three holes, and is accompanied by a brand new fire pit

INVISIBLE DISABILITIES

Camp caters to all learning types Eureka tailors programs for kids with ADHD, autism

BY PHILIP RAPHAEL

praphael@richmond-news.com

Every child deserves a camp experience.

That was the premise behind the formation of the Richmond-based Eureka Camp Society back in the 1970s when a group of parents from across the Lower Mainland banded together to provide the opportunity for children with “invisible disabilities” to spend part of the summer canoeing, hiking and spending time around the campfire.

Today, the mostly volunteer-run society continues to offer a unique experience for children who come from as far away as Inuvik and Yellowknife.

“We’re not able to find one (camp experience) quite like it anywhere else in B.C.,” said Liz Keres, executive director of the society.

The camp serves youngsters from age eight to 18 who have conditions ranging from ADHD to autism and Tourettes Syndrome to obsessive compulsive disorders.

“They are all the types of disorders where what we like to say that input

Sign up for summer camp at the Richmond branch of the BCSPCA and you’ll get to spend your days immersed in the world of animals.

Play animal-themed games, meet animal experts, get crafty, connect with new friends (both furry and human) and become the expert on animals in your family.

For one hour each day, kids have the chance to interact with some of the friendliest cats and small animals at the shelter, as well as some lovable dogs belonging to BC SPCA staff members in Richmond.

The BC SPCA offers week-long summer camps, which feature fun animal-themed activities for kids while empowering them to create a better world.

Camps are being offered this year in Richmond at the branch at 7791 Steveston Hwy. One of the main goals of the camps is to help children develop empathy by teaching them to regard the world as a shared space with other living beings, not only pets, but farm animals and wildlife, too.

These skills are developed through a range of educational and fun activities, including animal-themed games, skits, crafts, guest speakers and more.

Neuman: Children tune in to other people’s needs Continued from page B3 knowledge, children become attuned to the needs of other people, animals and the environment,” said Neuman.

“It helps them build confidence to follow their passion and take their love of animals to the next level. They leave feeling inspired to be young ambassadors for safer,

more humane communities.”

The BC SPCA summer camps offer a unique experience for children.

As Neuman explains, it may be challenging for some children, especially boys, to express nurturing behaviour in a competitive society where such a virtue is often not encouraged.

“Compassion and empathy towards other living beings are characteristics of nurturing behaviour,” she said.

“By providing an opportunity for children to express these behaviours in a positive environment we hope to build children’s confidence so they incorporate this into their daily lives.”

The week-long camp costs $175 ($160 for Kids Club members).

Age ranges are: six- to sevenyear-old camps are for children born anytime during 2006-2007; eight- to 11-year-old camps are for children born anytime during 2002-2005; seven- to 12-year-old camps are for children born any-

time during 2001-2006.

In order to provide a full learning experience and to ensure the well-being of animals in their care, time spent with animals each day is usually limited to approximately one hour.

For the keen, young athlete, the summer months don’t have to mean a big break from sport.

The Richmond Olympic Oval sees to that with a variety of camp programs that offer youngsters the opportunity to try out a whole host of different physi-

cal challenges, plus the chance to get the building blocks of their coaching careers.

Kristina Macdonald, the oval’s sport camp programmer, said the Get Outdoors (six- to nine-year-olds, and nine- to 12year-olds) and Outdoor Athletes (13- to 15-year-olds) camps are the perfect venues to try new things.

“They can test their athleticism in some new, outdoor, adventurous activities and have some fun.”

All of the day camps run Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

While most of the activities in the camps are geared to the outdoors, campers will also get a chance to experience the oval’s facilities such as the climbing wall that stretches as high as 45 feet, plus the rowing tank that provides a realistic training environment.

Unlike using a rowing machine, the tank incorporates the need to have the correct rowing technique of positioning the oars’ rowing blades in the water to achieve the greatest efficiency.

For those young athletes who want to go a step further than just participating, the oval offers a Sport Leadership program.

In its second year, it offers a unique opportunity for those 15 and up to undertake coaching workshops and then put what they have learned to practical use volunteering at the oval’s camps.

Popoff enjoys all-star season in Birds’ nest Richmond shortstop couldn’t be happier about living and playing at home again after two years down south

BY MARK BOOTH

mbooth@richmond-news.com

There’s nothing quite like home cooking. Just ask Tyson Popoff.

The comfort of being in familiar surroundings and no longer worrying about what’s going to be on the dinner table each night, reflected in the season the Richmond baseball standout put together with the UBC Thunderbirds.

After spending two years at Salt Lake Community College, Tyson returned to the West Coast and enjoyed an outstanding 2013 campaign, earning a spot on the AllNAIA West Team.

He broke an eight-year-old school batting record (.390) by hitting .401. He also was a Gold Glove winner as the team’s starting shortstop, with a .975 fielding percentage over 38 games. UBC went 19-9 in conference play before bowing out at the NAIA West Tournament earlier this month.

“I was really curious to see if there was going to be a big difference (in the level of play) from junior college,” said Popoff. “It was really compatible in the high to low end players. The difference is, from one to nine, everyone can hit up here. It’s also a different style of pitching. You see a lot of fastballs or sliders in junior college where here there’s a more variety of pitches.”

Popoff ’s decision to come back home had nothing to do with his performance on the ball diamond. He thrived at Salt Lake as the Bruins’ number one shortstop, battling .371 and helping the team to a 45-9 overall record. The big adjustment was living on his own right out of high school.

Back in 2010, he was in his final season in the B.C. Premier Baseball League with the North Delta Blue Jays when his play at a tournament in Portland got the attention of a Salt Lake representative.

After exchanging e-mails with the school, he accepted an offer and was soon on a plane for Utah just weeks after graduating from McNair secondary.

“Two years away from your home and your family and friends were pretty tough,” he said. “I was 17-years-old and suddenly out there living on my own. Sure, I was friends with my teammates but Salt Lake was nothing like Vancouver and it felt like I was a long way from home.

“It was in January of my second year there when I learned I had a chance to come back home and play for UBC. Really, it was a no brainer decision.”

Ironically, it was the one baseball player in the Popoff family who had to adjust to life away from home — not Tyson’s hockey playing brothers.

Turner and Carter were outstanding prospects growing up through Richmond Minor Hockey. They both helped the Richmond A1 Bantam Blues reach the provincial championship game with their father Ron coaching the squad. They have moved onto the junior ranks but are still close to their roots.

Turner is now a defenceman in the B.C. Hockey League with the Langley Rivermen, while Carter just completed his first full season in the Western Hockey

As for Tyson, he played hockey through Bantam rep and also thrived on the soccer pitch in Richmond’s Metro program. His final year of baseball locally was with Alex Klenman’s Bantam AAA team that won the regular season pennant and was third at the provincials. UBC teammate Sean Callegari was also on that squad.

“I played at the rep level but hockey was just not my sport,” said Popoff. “After Grade 9 I had a decision to make and went the baseball route.”

He went on to play the next three seasons in the PBL with North Delta before heading south. Now he’s back in Richmond

with a new appreciation for home life and his family.

“It sure is nice not to be worrying so much about cooking or laundry any more,” he laughed.

Callegari also was recognized for his outstanding season with the Thunderbirds, earning all-conference honours.

He finished the year as the hottest pitcher in the league, winning NAIA West Pitcher of the Week the final two times the honour was given out.

He finished 5-2 with a 2.56 ERA and gave up just five runs in his last 38.1 innings pitched.

McMath Wildcats will ride their unbeaten season into next week’s provincial “AAA” girls soccer championships in North Vancouver after capturing the Lower Mainland title last week with a 1-0 win over Churchill. Earlier, the Wildcats captured the Richmond championship, The team includes: Carmen Milne, Tara MacKinnon, Niki Glavina, Emma Partridge, Camille Robinson, Stav Kimhi, Danielle Kiss, Charlotte St. Cyr, Courtney Bergunder, Delaney Booker, Tessa Tasaka, Chelsea Harkins, Sarah Street, Rachel Kwan, Andrea Clute, Mackenna Shaw, Ashely Kidd and Josie Butler. The girls are coached by Jordan Steblin and Brett Livingston. The provincials are slated for May 30 to June 1.

Attention Lower Mainland Home Owners: 23 of you are about to make an important financial decision...

“Frustrated Contractor ‘Giving Away’ $5136 Furnaces for $1181 with purchase of Off-Season Central Air ...”**

NO MONEY DOWN, NO PAYMENTS AND INTEREST FREE TIL 2014* (This is the Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century” ... especially if your furnace is over 8 years old)

Dear Friend I’m about to make you a deal that’s hard to refuse if you’ve got an “older” (and probably less than optimally efficient) furnace.

I’ll replace your old furnace AND heat pump as a “package deal” for at least $3136.00 less than you would pay any other time of the year.

Sound too good to be true?

It’s not and here’s why. I’m making you what sounds like an unbelievable offer because it actually makes good sense for my business. And you come out a winner, as well!

You see, I know from experience that in my slowest months I actually end up losing money ... then I have to spend the rest of the year trying to make up for it. Right now, I have no reason to believe 2013 will be any different.

That’s why I’ve decided to give up trying to make a profit during these months and minimize my losses ... so I can come out ahead the rest of the year.

So here’s how I can make the incredible offer at the top of this letter.

Every year the biggie furnace manufacturers guesstimate how many furnaces to produce. Since there’s no way of knowing what the weather will be like and other factors that affect sales, these guys always have leftover inventory they have to hold onto until the next heating season.

I saw a great business opportunity in this and went to one of these biggie companies (they won’t allow me to use their name in this letter) and contracted for the purchase of these furnaces that were going to just be sitting around. Plus, I bought 23 heat pumps all in the 3 most popular sizes used in Lower Mainland homes.

Because of the number I bought and the time of year I purchased them, I got an unbelievable deal ... rock-bottom prices.

Don’t get me wrong - these are brandnew, top quality, 2013 models. Not “seconds.”

Not “blems.” Not builder-grade. These are premium furnaces and heat pumps fresh from a name-brand factory with a full factory warranty.

How to Get Your Name Brand Furnace for Virtually Nothing By putting together this furnace-plusheat pump package (I call it the “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century”), going through some heavy negotiations with the

manufacturer, and then committing to buying 23 systems outright, I got BOTH the furnace AND the heat pump at a price that would have made Sam Walton proud. This means when you buy one of these 23 new, premiumquality heat pumps I will “give” you the furnace and ask you to pay only the $1181 in labor it costs to install your furnace.

Pick up your phone right now Simply call me at 946-1000 at anytime so I can come out and measure your home (to see if I’ve got the proper size unit).

Remember ... I’ve got only 23 matched systems in 3 sizes so you’ll want to let me know VERY SOON that you’re interested.

When these 23 systems are gone, they’re gone, and this offer is null and void. Call me right now so we can get the ball rolling!

As part of the deal, I’ll show you how much the heat pump costs ... how much the furnace WOULD have cost ... and your savings when you buy your new heat pump and furnace as part of this special offer. The price I show you will include all installation materials and labor. There’s no fine print, nothing left out.

Earlier I said that making you this amazing offer is also good business for me The way I look at it, by letting YOU win big now, I’ll win at the end of the year. And I won’t have to “make up” for the lost sales during my slowest months.

I figure if I make you an absolutely irresistible offer .. if your furnace is pushing 8 years or more ... and if I barely mark up the price I paid, I’ll accomplish 2 major objectives that will allow me to reduce my losses the rest of the year. I’ll be able to ...

• Pay my overhead (rent, utilities, insurance and taxes) during the slow period • Keep my service & installation technicians busy enough to pay them to work instead of sit at home.

As you can see, when you take me up on my “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century,” EVERYONE IS A WINNER! And by the way, there’s no obligation when you have me come out to measure your house and explain the installation If you decide you don’t want to take advantage of this incredible deal (although I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to save this kind of money), it’s no problem.

You’re not obligated in any way. In fact, just for taking time to read this letter and having me out to survey your house ... I’ll give you a

Very Special Free Gift Coupon ($50 value).

Why? Even if we don’t do business together now, I want you to remember us in the future.

If you’re thinking a new furnace (& heat pump) isn’t in your budget - don’t worry!

You don’t have to pay me right now Because I’ve tried to think of every reason possible why you WOULDN’T take me up on this spectacular offer, I’ve even made arrangements for a super bank rate financing plan. And I’m not “marking up” the interest rate like so many other companies do.

While I can’t promise you this, it’s possible that with this financing plan your monthly investments in a new system could be more than paid for by the savings you see on your monthly utility bills.

My Disappointment-Proof Guarantee Talking about lower utility bills, I’m so sure you’ll see at least a 25% cut in your heating and cooling bills (in reality, it may be more like 35%+), if you don’t I’ll pay you twice the difference for 2 years.

Not only are you getting a new, firstquality furnace virtually free, plus a firstquality heat pump at a great price, I guarantee you’ll lower your heating and cooling bills by at least 25% or I’ll pay you double your savings for 2 years. (This alone should convince you that these systems are some of the very best quality and most efficient available).

But you’ve got to act fast ... call me at 946-1000 right now! This offer ends May 15th no matter what Don’t wait to call me. Here’s why. I have only 8 of each of the 3 sizes. When all of the air conditioners are sold and all the furnaces “given away” in a certain size, the “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century” is over.

And if I still have any of the 23 systems left on May 31st, this offer still ends. The reason is that my business only slows down for a short time. Since these furnaces cost me so little, if I’ve got any left, I’ll sell them next winter at last year’s prices and still come out ahead.

So call me right now at 946-1000 Thanking you in advance, Scott Campbell Owner P.S. Remember, there’s no obligation and even if you change your mind once I measure your house and give you the estimate - you still get that Free Gift Coupon worth $50.

Dunfee competing at PanAm championships Richmond’s Evan Dunfee is among four Canadian athletes who will be competing in this weekend’s Panamerican Race Walking Cup in Guatemala City.

Dunfee won gold at the NACAC U-23 championships last season over 20000 metres and also the senior national title at 10km. He is joined on the team by fellow B.C. athletes Creighton Connolly, Benjamin Thorne and 2012 Olympian Inaki Gomez.

“Canada’s senior men race walkers are ready to show the rest of the western hemisphere that we are once again contenders for the top spots,” said Dunfee’s longtime coach Gerry Dragomir who is also heading the Canadian contingent heading to

Guatemala. “This team representing Canada is the strongest senior men’s 20km race walk team that has ever been sent into competition.

“These young men have trained together since they were juniors and know the event, as well as their competitors, better than most.

Up to now we have only been shown a few promising glimpses of what these athletes are capable of.

This is a challenging event for us with the altitude, heat and long travel; a set of good finishes here will create a lot of excitement for the bigger events to come.”

The 20 km race walk is scheduled for this Saturday. Athletes from 45 countries are expected to compete.

Wong & UBC look to defend title at NAIA Golf Championships

Stephanie Wong and the UBC Thunderbirds women’s golf team defends its title this week at the 2013 NAIA Women’s Golf Championships in Lincoln, Nebraska.

The Richmond native helped UBC capture the recent Association of Independent Institutions (AII) Conference Championship, combining to shoot back-to-back rounds under 290 and winning by 13 strokes. Wong finished fourth overall in individual play.

“The AII Championship says a lot about where the team is right now,” said UBC head coach Chris MacDonald. “When they free their minds and just swing it, it is pretty amazing what they can do.”

“Our biggest strength is our consistency. “We have five players who could be the number one player on any given day and when you have that kind of talent you are never out of a tournament.”

UBC’s biggest competition is expected to once again be the number one ranked team in the NAIA, Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) from Georgia.

The Thunderbirds rallied from a three stroke deficit with three holes to play in last year’s final round to defeat SCAD and capture the 2012 NAIA Championship by two

shots.

Kylie Barros, Casara Hong, Reagan Wilson, and Wong were all part of the 2012 team.

This year’s event is a four-day, 72-hole tournament and will be played at the Wilderness Ridge Golf Club in Lincoln. The course officially opened in 2001 and measures just over 7,100 yards with a par score of 71.
