$1.3 M drug home forfeited BY PHILIP RAPHAEL
praphael@richmond-news.com
A Richmond home valued at $1.33 million will be turned over to the Crown after the B.C. Court of Appeal upheld a forfeiture ruling following a police investigation in 2007 discovered the property was being used as a marijuana grow-op. The three-judge panel voted unanimously Aug. 9 that the sprawling, five-bedroom, 4,000square-foot home owned by Fan Qiang Zeng in the 9300-block of Bakerview Drive be handed over. Zeng had argued the judge failed to consider the impact forfeiture may have on his immediate family members and was not

supported by the evidence in the case. He also contended the marijuana grow op — spread out over the top floor of the home — was master-minded by his now exwife, Ye Jin Li, who had entered a guilty plea. The grow-op yielded 760 marijuana plants and was on a three-month growing cycle. All five bedrooms and bathrooms contained plants where they were growing under the glow of 31 industrial lights connected to timers, which ran between 12-18 hours a day. The equipment used to grow
the plants was powered by electricity from an electrical bypass, concealed in the wall of the garage. The lights were connected to a series of electrical ballasts in the upper level hallway and powered by stolen electricity. The side door to the property was barricaded from the inside with a metal bar and brackets to prevent people from breaking into the home. There was also a living space on the home’s lower floor. The estimated value of the crop was between $255,000 and $426,000. see Zeng page 4
School strike looming Talks with non-teaching staff break down BY PHILIP RAPHAEL
praphael@richmond-news.com
Schools in Richmond, and around the rest of the province, could be out for summer longer than planned. That’s if unionized non-teaching and support staff and the BC Public School Employers’ Association don’t get back to the bargaining table by the end of August to hash out a contract agreement after talks broke down this week. The failure to continue discussions is a major disappointment for June Kaiser and the rest of CUPE’s bargaining committee. Kaiser, president of CUPE 716 which represents about 1,000 work-
ers in Richmond, told the Richmond News her group was fully prepared to bargain. But at the end of three days of talks, they were told there was nothing the employers’ association could offer them. Kaisier said CUPE is hoping to resume bargaining by the last week of August. But if that doesn’t happen, there is a real likelihood of job action that would close schools just as they are getting ready to begin a new academic year. “We told them if they are not prepared to bargain at the end of August, respectfully and with a deal coming up, we walk,” Kasier said. The employers’ association has yet to agree on talks resuming see Messages page 5

It is said time is a great healer. Richmond’s Lori and Michael Yelizarov know this well. It has been nine years since they lost their son, Noah, who died in 2004, just shy of his 19th birthday, after being electrocuted during a holiday in Thailand. From that tragedy has sprung a memorial hockey tournament that bears his name which has raised funds for numerous charitable, community causes. And with each passing year, the event gets larger, spreads its caring further and the sadness of losing Noah eases. “In the first few years it was kind of hard on myself and Lori because it was a sore memory,” Michael says. “Now, it’s becoming not so much of a challenge for us. Of course, we want to remember Noah — it’s always a sweet memory. And what the challenge is now is trying to raise as much as we can for the causes we support.” This year’s Noah Yelizarov Hockey Tourney hits the ice at the Richmond Oval Aug. 18. The three-on-three format attracts entries from far and wide. So too, does the accompanying beer garden, dinner and live auction, all of which last year helped raise $31,000. Since the event started, it has provided close to $200,000 shared by organizations such as Canuck Place and BC Children’s Hospital. It’s an impressive display of community spirit, says Lori. “Am I surprised? I am and I’m not,” she says. “It started out small and became so big. You could see the people were so passionate and really wanting to do good in Noah’s name, and keep his memory alive. He was really loved and people wanted to support us and him to keep the tourna-

ment going. “And it just looks like it’s getting stronger and stronger because I do think people recognize we are doing good in the community. It’s a community effort that everyone wants to be part of.” Addressing that aspect of community is support for programs providing young children with food in schools and at home. New last year was Blessings in a Backpack (www. blessingsinabackpack.ca), a Canadianbased food distribution charity, which provides backpacks filled with nutritious food for children in inner city elementary schools to take home on weekends. The event also assists the Vancouver School
District’s efforts to provide food for students. “A lot of these kids literally go hungry at school and under perform because of that,” Michael says, adding that last year that program received $6,000. “We’ve been told it would feed 100 kids for two years, and we’re very happy about that,” he says. “Now, this year, we brought the program home and we’re going to be doing the same thing here, for the Richmond School District.” The local program is called Feed-U-Cate 38 and is designed to provide a meal to students in need. Recently retired Richmond School District administrator Glenn Kishi, who is coordinating the program, said there’s a common belief Richmond see Poverty page 4

Each singing one word at a time, the crowd managed to belt out the nursery rhyme Row, Row, Row Your Boat on the opening day (Aug. 9) of the Maritime Festival in Steveston. The attempt has still to be verified by Guinness World Record officials. The previous record was held by members of the Jim Pattison Group, which had 154 people turn out in March 2011 at its JPG Partners in Pride Conference in San Antonio, Texas.

But when he discovered last year as many as 16 local schools already had food programs in place and each was conducting their own fundraising initiatives, he knew it was time to coordinate them and get others involved. “In Richmond, the poverty is not in one area,” Kishi says. “It’s not like in east Vancouver. It’s in pockets here. We have kids who live in housing co-ops and low-cost rentals that are right beside homes that cost $2 million. So, these kids come to school together.” Part of the fundraising push is to enlist the efforts of We Day — where students commit to a global, as well as local project. “If they are going to raise money to build

evidence — he simply did not accept it. There is no palpable or overriding error in coming to this conclusion. It was a conclusion reasonably based in the evidence. I would not accede to this ground of appeal.” Bennett also stated that it was in her view that the judge was clearly alive to the issue of any potential hardship to Zeng’s family, and considered when he made the forfeiture order. “I would not accede to this ground of appeal,” she wrote. The Crown argued that this section has no application to Zeng since he moved his family into the Bakerview Drive residence after the warrants were executed.

a residential property. The judge concluded that this was a commercial enterprise, amply supported by the evidence. In the appeal judgement, Madam Justice Bennett stated the judge presiding over the forfeiture hearing was entitled to conclude that Zeng was not telling the truth regarding where he obtained the downpayment for the Bakerview property, since he did not produce any documentation confirming a mortgage was obtained on his Vancouver property. “Mr. Zeng was not forthcoming about many things, in particular the source of his income,” Benett wrote. “It cannot be said that the judge misapprehended this

Zeng also claimed he earned $4,000 per month. However, his tax returns show that he reported earning significantly less. In 2003-2005 he reported annual earnings of $7,112, $6,331 and $3,821 respectively. He claimed he made a $360,000 downpayment to buy the Richmond home by placing a mortgage on a Vancouver property he owned. In the forfeiture hearing, the judge concluded the grow operation was started shortly after the property was purchased and Zeng and his family lived elsewhere. The evidence also supported Zeng purchased the home to operate the business of a grow operation as opposed to
a school in Kenya, well they can raise money to help feed their friends at other schools,” Kishi says. The goal is to raise $15,000 to $20,000 over the course of the school year. Thanks to a connection with the Noah Yelizarov Hockey Tourney through former Richmond school principal Don Taylor, FeedU-Cate 38 is going to get some exposure and assistance. So, how does it feel being able to provide that kind of help? “It makes me feel really good. It makes me feel tingly warm inside,” says Michael. “I think Noah would be proud of us. And that gives us the strength to do it next year, and again and again.” For more information about the Noah Yelizarov Hockey Tourney visit www.noahmemorialhockey.ca.

DISPUTE
YVR workers poised to strike BY PHILIP RAPHAEL
praphael@richmond-news.com
Labour Day could give rise to some “labour” pains for travellers using YVR. While it’s still early in the process, and no strike date has been set, there could be delays at the airport if unionized workers launch job action over the coming long weekend. The workers in question are responsible for emergency response, international arrivals customer care and runway maintenance. On the union’s website, Bob Jackson,
PSAC’s regional executive vice president for B.C., said the 300 or so union members at the airport voted 83 per cent in favour of strike action last week. “PSAC members are united behind their bargaining team and prepared to walk the picket line if necessary,” said Jackson. Contentious areas of contract talks include flexible work hours and job protection. Also on the union’s website, Dave Clark, regional vice-president of the UCTE, a component of PSAC, said, “We felt we had no choice but to take a strike vote.
“YVR says they’re one of B.C.’s top employers, but are refusing to discuss our demands around work-life balance and job security. “They also want to weaken the apprenticeship provisions in our collective agreement and create a two-tier wage system by creating a new class of ‘seasonal’ workers. “We’re prepared to strike if our key issues aren’t dealt with. The next move is up to the employer.” YVR spokeswoman Robyn McVicker said the public will be kept informed of the situation and stressed there is no immediate impact at the airport.
Messages: Back action Continued from page 1 before the end of the month. Kaiser said she is hopeful job action can be averted, although as news filtered out about the collapse of talks she received a torrent of messages from her members supporting a strike. “I got an unprecedented response, with people saying we need to draw a line in the sand, and tired of being treated like second class citizens,” Kaiser said. According to the union, education assistants, clerical staff, trades, custodians, bus drivers and other workers they represent have been without a wage increase for more than four years. Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for the employer, said in a press release the two sides made it clear they’re willing to work towards a provincial framework agreement, but added the union would have to make concessions.

Shopping solo or with the kids BY BENJAMIN YONG Special to the News
Back-to-school shopping can be a stressful time for parents and students alike. And according to a recent Vision Critical survey, more than half of British Columbian shoppers prefer to leave their kids at home when hunting for binders and art supplies. But is that really the case in Richmond? Jared Worfolk, business support manager at Staples on No. 3 Road, said, as a parent, he understands some people’s preference to fly solo on trips to the store. “It probably has to do with, I guess, the time limitations,” said Worfolk, who’s often asked to perform personal shopping duties by busy mothers and fathers. “They prefer doing it during their breaks at work. I myself am a parent and I don’t like bringing my kid. “It takes time when you have children in the store with you.” Kwantlen library assistant and mother of two Ginger Lu has a slightly different perspective on keeping company during supply runs. “I quite like the experience — it’s never stressful and I

have several reasons to bring them with me,” said Lu. “The first is, if I bring them, they buy what they want and they’re happy with what they get, they don’t say, ‘Hey I don’t like this colour.’” She also said it provides an opportunity to bond with her kids and educate them about budgeting and making good decisions, rather than grabbing the newest and shiniest thing on the shelf. “First Staples Back-to-School Annual Study” is a survey commissioned by the stationary giant to gather more information on the season and put on paper the pattern of Canadians in different locations and explain various behaviours, said Staples public relations specialist Valerie Outmezguine. “It’s an emotional time for everyone, especially parents that have to go out and shop who have more than one child,” she said. “We wanted to learn more about their shopping experiences and opinions.”

Having the right to die
T
o a layman, it seems unambiguous: Margaret (Margot) Bentley, while of sound mind, left a living will in 1991 that states she does not want liquids or nourishment if diagnosed with an incurable disease with no reasonable expectation of recovery. “I direct that I be allowed to die,” she wrote. Bentley, a former nurse, would have had a clearer idea than many of what end-of-life care might entail, and rejected being kept alive by artificial means. Yet Fraser Health has directed the Abbotsford care facility where she has lived in a vegetative state for the past four years to continue feeding her against her family’s wishes - and despite the legal directive she had the forethought to create some 13 years before she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. To be clear, Bentley’s brain function is mostly destroyed. She is not sitting up in bed and waiting for supper. “Feeding” is a matter of repeatedly touching her bottom lip with a spoon until she opens her mouth. Her family says she could die before the suit they have launched against the province and the publicly funded care home is settled. But they want her case to provide clarity to B.C.’s health care consent legislation. We applaud their painful decision to go public in pursuit of Bentley’s wishes. The court decision, especially if appealed, likely won’t come quickly, either. But we sincerely hope their uncomfortable time in the spotlight of media attention will leave a legacy so that others will not have to suffer the appalling sight of a loved one kept alive as a vegetable.
CHOICE WORDS
Onni presents lost opportunity The Editor, Re: “Fix unsightly ATM on wharf,” Letters, Aug. 7. The letter from Jackie Bulmer regarding the unsightly ATM on Steveston Wharf voices the opinion of many local people. Not only is it ugly, but unneccessary, as the Royal Bank has one just moments away. As to the ghastly Onni development, I can only describe it as an informed exercise in bad taste. How dreadful for the residents on Bayview to face onto such a horror. No wonder the complex is practically empty. The opportunity to build a series of buildings in-keeping with the rest of Steveston is lost for now. Perhaps if the Onni horror remains empty, it can be demolished and we can start again. Michael Page Richmond
Railway corridor anti-progress The Editor, Silly me, I thought the paving of the green corridor beside Railway was still being discussed. I was by there last night — blackness, tar stench and a long swathe of Richmond’s green lungs destroyed! No wonder it’s so hot and smelly in Richmond these days, with removing that which cools and cleans the air! It’s well proven that natural green space in a city keeps it cooler. So why destroy our defining namesakes (Garden City, City by Nature)? This is anti-progress and may well take away all our wins as longest-living, healthiest community in Canada. Smarten up, you city council (expletives), who are merely pretending to represent me and my family! George Pope Richmond
Redrawing the maps favours Liberals As if things weren’t bad enough for the NDP these days, it looks like the B.C. Liberals are about to be handed an even bigger advantage. The province’s electoral map will soon be redrawn, and odds are the addition of new ridings will favour areas that are traditionally B.C. Liberal strongholds. The changes will mostly reflect the population shifts that have occurred since the last redistribution, which took place after the 2005 election. B.C.’s population has grown by more than a half million people since then, and most of the growth has taken place in areas such as the Vancouver suburbs and the Okanagan. As a result, it appears several seats will be added to reflect the mushrooming population in places like Richmond, south Surrey, Langley and the Okanagan — all areas that can be considered fairly safe territory for the B.C. Liberals. The looming changes don’t look promising for the NDP. The party is in danger of becoming marginalized because its core areas of strength are not in areas of high population growth (other than New Westminster and north Surrey). The last election results confined the NDP to the city of Vancouver, a few of its suburbs, most of Vancouver Island, the Kootenays and the coast. It’s unlikely the commission will increase the number of
Keith Baldrey IN THE HOUSE
seats in those areas. In fact, if the Island gets another seat it will likely be in the Comox Valley region, which has been held for years by the B.C. Liberals. Of course, the boundaries commission responsible for redrawing the map may also consolidate some ridings that have far less people living in them and are not showing big increases in population. These are mostly located in the north and the Kootenays, and any consolidation would likely penalize the B.C. Liberals and the NDP in equal terms. The commission, of course, needs to be sensitive to the concerns of those who live in remote, rural regions and fear their representation in the legislature could become diluted as the more populous, urban areas get more and more ridings. This has always been a concern whenever B.C.’s electoral map is altered, and it is one reason why our number of MLAs keeps increasing. Surrey-Cloverdale is home to more than four times that number of voters yet both get the same number of MLAs. In fact, it can be argued the two Peace River ridings could be combined (such
a riding would have about 43,000 voters, roughly the same as Victoria-Beacon Hill), or that the North Coast, Skeena and Stikine could be consolidated into a single seat (and have the same number of voters as New Westminster). But reducing the MLA representation in those regions would be met with a huge protest from the communities affected and so it likely will not happen. Instead, it’s more likely we will continue to add seats into our already overcrowded legislative chamber, which has almost reached the limit in terms of how many desks can fit inside the thing. And it’s likely those additional seats will be created primarily south of the Fraser River and in the retirement communities of the Okanagan — sources of electoral strength for the B.C. Liberals. It’s also important to note that our ethnic communities — particularly the South Asian communities — are centred in those areas of growth. To not add seats in those areas would unfairly dilute their political representation over time. The population is growing in areas that have long turned their backs on the NDP. And that’s where any new MLAs will be coming from, thus making it even more difficult for the NDP to win a majority election. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

PUBLIC TRANSIT
Make buses more efficient The Editor, I am writing about what I personally think are the most important problems with public transit. Acknowledging the point that public transit is usually slower than commuting by car, public transit can be more convenient in terms of subtracting the time spent in luxurious solo pursuits and putting that time into more useful things such as work or even putting our electronic devices to good use. Many transit users waste fewer minutes in their daily commute than motorists do, but with this, public transit begins to become over-packed causing (in multiple occasions) many people to either not
be able to board the bus because it was full (making them late to wherever they are going). It also sometimes means people have to get off at a later stop and walk back because some people can’t even make it through the crowd so that they can exit the bus at their desired stop. I suggest that Coast Mountain Bus Company either make busses come more frequently during the busier times of day or change some busses to articulated busses. If that doesn’t happen, is public transit still truly more efficient? Sam Twaites Richmond

ELECTION
Target youth for voter engagement The Editor, Re: “Tune in, but turned off,” Column, July 12. After reading the editorial opinion, I have come to realize that the pollsters’ way of surveying people for the 2013 B.C. election didn’t reflect the real situation because of one thing — they surveyed the wrong group of people. Since the survey was online, the younger generation is more likely to find out about the surveys through social media and do the survey, but not actually go to vote. Whereas, the older generation is more likely to vote and not participate in the online surveys, partly
because of their lack of knowledge about technology and social media. Even though some of the younger generation did the online survey, they didn’t go to vote. There could have been several reasons why they may have chosen not to vote. One, they may not understand politics and what the political parties have to offer; two, they may think their one vote won’t make a difference; three, they may think choosing a government will not affect them. In order for the pollsters to be more accurate with their predictions, they
need to find a better way to get the sample for their survey, which has a wider coverage of the population. The government should educate and help the younger generation understand more about politics, so they can use their vote to vote for a government that will help them get a home, get employment, or help them out of their student debt.

McDonald’s manager wins a top award Food programs BY Y VONNE R OBERTSON
yrobertson@richmond-news.com
On a busy Monday morning at Canada’s first McDonald’s restaurant, manager Rob Lombaert takes to the floor, helping out wherever possible. Dressed in a black collared shirt and tie, he stands out from the other uniformed employees, but nevertheless, he takes up the same tasks and strikes up conversations with the customers to help the morning rush. “I wish I was on the floor more, I really do,” said Lombaert at his No. 3 and Granville roads restaurant. “I like to interact with my guests. I actually spend a lot of time in the lobby, walking around. A lot of our customers have been coming here for 20, 30 years, so I like to get to know them, talk to them a little bit. It’s probably my favourite part of the job.” The 13-year employee recently received the 2013 Outstanding Manager of
YVONNE ROBERTSON/RICHMOND NEWS
Rob Lombaert, manager at McDonald’s on No. 3 Road, received the 2013 Outstanding Manager of the Year award. the Year National award for his efforts. The award is one of McDonald’s Canada’s top honours and is presented to select managers across the country. Lombaert has been at the current location for
two years, but started his career at the popular fastfood chain working the till in Burnaby, while he was in Grade 12. His interest in numbers and business allowed him to advance through the system, picking up the odd
receive grants
business course along the way. He’s taught numerous training classes and helped train about 715 employees when they were hired on for the Winter Olympics in 2010. “My thing is you take care of your people and the people will take care of your guests,” he said. “To be honest with you, I’m not that outstanding, it’s the people. It’s the people I work with, the customers that come in. It’s my boss. And to be recognized nationally, it’s pretty special.” Some of the reasons he received the award was for his commitment to building sales, focus on customer satisfaction and development and training of staff and the No. 3 Road location makes about $3.5 million a year, according to Lombaert.

The second annual outdoor movie night in the city centre returns this Friday, Aug. 16 with the animated family flick Despicable Me. The free event at Garden City Park, 6620 Garden City Rd. — hosted by City Centre Community Centre and sponsored by Lansdowne Centre, Ashton Service Group and ADESA Richmond — will also feature a car show and live performances from Mrs. Lori and the Taiko Drummers. If that’s not enough to get the family out, there will be food vendors, face painting, bouncy castles and giveaways. There will also be popcorn, cotton
candy, free coffee, door prizes and car judging. More than 1,500 people turned out last year and one of the organizers, Matt Pitcairn, City Centre Community Association’s board of directors president, is hoping even more show up this Friday. “This event is a great free family outing, during a time when it is getting more and more expensive to take the family out,” said Pitcairn. “Our classic car show promises to have some great entries.” Registration for the car show is from 5 to 6 p.m., with the show, which is open to all cars, running from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The movie is set to start at around 9 p.m. For more information on this event and others, go to www.rccca.ca.

B.C. & BANFF
Sunshine with and without the canine BY JANE CASSIE
Travel Writers’ Tales
There are fringe benefits for being a dog owner. As well as free kisses and pampering, you get more exercise, especially when hiking the trails in Banff’s Sunshine Village. “Sorry, there’s no exception to the pet rule,” the straight-faced ticket seller says from behind the counter. “None are allowed onboard.” We’re at the base of this ski resort, a short drive from the town’s hub, where, for a price, a shuttle will whisk us up to the 2,195-metre level (7,200 feet) to scenic ridges. But heeling politely between us, and looking up with apologetic eyes, is Kalli, our tag-along pup. “There’s another option,” my husband says, when glancing at the map. “We can hoof it all the way on foot.” I sigh at Brent’s idea, partly with frustration and partly trepidation. Can I manage the 18-kilometre round-tripper to Healy Pass? I might be okay if it was a level playing field, but the elevation gain from this parking lot is 655 metres (2,150 feet). “With all the hiking we’ve done this holi-
day, it’ll be a breeze,” he reassures me. It’s true and my buffed-up quads are proof. From the Kootenays to Banff, we’ve paced everything from walk-in-the-parkers like the Bow Falls Trail to mountaineer challenges such as Cory Pass. And we have truly been rewarded with visual overload in return. This Healy trek ends up being no different. There’s no way of disguising the length, but for the most part, this incline is gradual. Healy Creek weaves in and out of our view and while canopied by evergreens we bisect the occasional blueberry field, cross a few bridges and ogle at rugged peaks that pop into the backdrop. A primitive campground dots the 5.5-kilometre mark, a fork to Simpson Pass is just before kilometre eight and flowery meadows sprawl over the sub-alpine. While Kalli goes ga-ga over the gopher holes that burrow through this scruffy groundcover, Brent prepares for bigger game. “Three grizzlies have been tagged on this ridge,” he says, while reaching for the bear spray, “it’s unlikely we’ll see any.” In spite of all the previous warnings we’ve had on this see Split page 20

Ninth of a 10-part series We have access to investment technology today that Warren Buffett could only have dreamt of several decades ago! In today’s sophisticated marketplace, investors have all the information, advice and tools they need to help them grow wealth effectively. With these resources at hand, it would seem natural that people could pursue a successful investment experience. However, lack of insight, emotions and the temptation to speculate keep many investors from reaching their financial goals. Without a well-defined investment plan, investors may pick money managers for the wrong reasons and make other decisions that increase risk in their portfolios. By understanding markets and the nature of risk, and learning to manage their emotions, investors may avoid mistakes that can compromise returns. Here are some leading investment traps: ! No investment plan — You’ve probably heard this before, but it bears repeating: “People don’t plan to fail. They simply fail to plan.” ! Lack of manager scrutiny — We underestimate human risk. Very few people have developed a full-proof methodology for reduc-
Richard Vetter WEALTH SMARTS
ing the risk inherent in selecting an investment manager. ! Chasing performance — In past columns I’ve made it crystal clear that your chances of picking a winning manager by chasing his past performance are about as safe as driving your car backwards down a highway using the rearview mirror. ! Overconcentration — Let’s take a walk down memory lane. Can you remember Confederation Life, BreX, Pan Am, Nortel, Enron, Lehmann Brothers? At one time, many investors thought these companies were a sure thing. Many lost their life savings through over-concentration. ! Market timing — Successfully timing the markets requires you to consistently get it right twice for each investment. You need to know when to buy and when to sell. Successful investors, over time, are those who diversify broadly among many asset classes and hold on through thick and thin. ! Wrong time horizon — If you’re
saving up for a purchase within the next five years, you don’t invest in stocks or real estate. Conversely, if you’re looking to draw an income that grows with inflation, you don’t invest in bonds. Know clearly what you are saving for before you invest. ! Forecasting — Prophecy worked in Scripture — it has never worked well in the markets. No one knows for sure what the future holds, so don’t even try to guess. The news is forever changing. ! Excessive risk-taking — Yes, over time the market tends to reward investors according to the risk they take. It is risk, however, and that can blow up on you. Acknowledge all risk factors when structuring your portfolio. I never said investing was easy! You’ll go far by making sure you and your financial advisor are consistently on the same page in avoiding these traps. The opinions expressed are those of Richard Vetter, BA, CFP, CLU, ChFC. Vetter is a senior financial advisor with WealthSmart Financial Group/Manulife Securities Incorporated in Richmond. Manulife Securities Incorporated is a Member of the Canadian Investor Protection Fund.

Her talent and potential was enough to earn status as a carded athlete during her third year at Toronto but she still wasn’t ready for the frequent commuting to Vancouver to train with the team. “It was just too tough to do and manage everything,” Watson recalled. “I gave them the card back and told them it just wasn’t the right time. I still wanted to be in good
standing (with the program) in case it was something I wanted to do later on.” Watson was at least a fixture with the national indoor team that is based out of Toronto. The game is popular back east where the climate sends programs indoors to train throughout the winter. It is played in a hockey rink and was recently reduced to 4-on-4. She will be suiting up for Canada at the Pan Am Indoor Cup next April.

Sports Batara’s three gold leads medal haul at Canada Summer Games A four medal performance from swimmer Magnus Batara led the hardware haul for Richmond athletes at the Canada Summer Games in Quebec. Batara captured captured the Special Olympics men’s 50 metre breaststroke in a time of 36.80 seconds. He then dominated the backstroke events, winning both the 50 and 100 metre distances. The 22-year-old’s outstanding week also included a bronze medal swim in the 50 metre freestyle. Also making a big splash in the Games pool was Luke Reilly who won the 400metre individual medley in a meet record time of 4:24:26. Another multi-medal winner was tennis player Hoalong Fan. He won gold in men’s doubles and silver in the team event. Meanwhile, on the softball diamond, Yasmin Bains and Hilary Strelau helped B.C. capture gold the hard way. After finishing fourth in the prelimi-
nary round with tight losses to Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba, British Columbia fought all the way back to defeat those three very same teams in the playoff round to win their third consecutive gold medal at the Canada Summer Games. After slipping past Quebec 2-1 in the semi-final game, B.C. carried momentum into the final against a rested Manitoba squad and cruised to a 9-1 mercy rule win. Strelau helped break the game open with a two-run double in the second to give her team a 3-0 lead. \ B.C. would add five more in the fourth. In women’s volleyball, Kristen Almhjell helped B.C. come away silver after a heartbreaking five set loss to Alberta in the final. B.C. took the opening two sets (25-21, 25-13) before Alberta came storming back including a 15-9 triumph in the fifth set.
De Costa leads way at Nationals
The Richmond Rapids sent four members to Montreal last month to compete at the Canadian Age Group National Swimming Championships. This was the final event of the season for the club, who had been training in Montreal for over a week, while Rapids swimmers Brandon De Costa, Nicolaas Dekker and Morgan Mark were competing at the Canadian Senior Nationals. De Costa won his first two individual Age group National medals — both backstroke disciplines. The 50 backstroke was the crowning achievement – not only his first medal, but a gold medal and national title. He also won this event in February at Western Nationals. His 100-meter swim was good enough to get him on the podium after a significant time drop, posting a 58.6, his second time ever under a minute long course. De Costa
H S FI
also set club records in both events. All four members were able to qualify for finals, mostly for the first time ever. Michael Jacak-Sinclair beat his current 50 freestyle best time in finals, breaking 25 seconds in the process. Brandon Crawford stepped up in a big way in the 100 breaststroke, with his 50 meter split faster than his best 50 breaststroke, and going sub-1:10 for his first time. Serena Xue qualified for finals in the 200 breaststroke, finishing in eighth, her best national ranking yet. She also set club records in both the 200 and 50 breaststroke events. The club starts open registrations on Aug. 24. More information about the Rapids, including next year’s registration package, can be found on their website: www.richmondrapids.com.
Richmond swimmer Magnus Batara starred in the pool at the Canada Summer Games in Quebec, winning four medals including three gold.
