Drums, paddles keep time in Steveston Dragon Boat Festival grows by strokes and glides over past three years
BY YVONNE ROBERTSON
yrobertson@richmond-news.com
At the first sound of the horn, they’ll be off — hundreds of dragon boats skimming across the waters during the fourth annual Steveston Dragon Boat Festival on Saturday, Aug. 24. Every 10 minutes throughout the day, teams of 20 will paddle to the steady rhythm of their drummer, beating at the end of the narrow, 50-foot long boats. “Since the first festival, Scan this it’s grown by probably 300 page for a per cent,” said general manvideo
ager Ann Phelps, who’s been organizing the festival since its beginnings. “Now we have paddlers coming in from Metro Vancouver, Vancouver Island, Washington State. “It’s all about team work. The sport has a great social aspect, people can get together and make friends.” It’s that experience that got 20-year-old Gene Figueroa hooked on the sport in the first place. “The whole team dynamic of it is really engaging and I couldn’t participate in a better sport,” he said, ready for an early-morning practice session. “It’s been very challenging and a fun experience at the same
time.” Figueroa was roped into the sport in high school when there weren’t enough people for the team. He’s now gearing up to compete in the national championships in Victoria. This year’s festival saw the maximum amount of paddlers entered, at 1,600, according to Phelps. Besides the boaters, the day features cuisine from a variety of food trucks, a children’s arts and craft tent and entertainment performed by five musical acts on the main stage, starting at 11 a.m. “We’re going to have five different bands
playing a variety of world music, indicative of the community that we live in,” said Phelps. “There’ll be the Fiddlestix with Celtic music, the Maria Ho Quartet playing some jazz, and then some reggae as well, so it’s quite the mix.” There will also be a variety of vendor booths, activities and a barbeque following the racers awards party in the afternoon. “It’s going to be really fun and it’s really nice that it’s in Steveston,” said Phelps. “There’ll be that nice, small community feel, but there’ll also be a variety of people from all over who take part in it.” — with a file from Philip Raphael

As Sheraton expands so does staff work load, but wages not keeping pace: Union BY YVONNE ROBERTSON
yrobertson@richmond-news.com
Hotel workers at Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel went on a one-day strike this past Saturday to send a message to owners and management. The workers — which includes kitchen staff and room attendants — protested 14 months of stalled negotiations after their contract expired on May 31, 2012. It was the first strike by hotel workers in the Vancouver area in 13 years. “The owners have been investing millions into the hotel, like expanding meeting spaces and with that, the workload has gotten heavier,” said Michelle Travis, the Unite Here! Local 40 spokesperson. “The workers see this happening around them, while they don’t even have wage parity with other Scan page for hotels.” Workers want wage, benefit and more photos workload parity with other unionized hotels like the Delta Vancouver Airport Hotel. They would also like to meet with management directly to discuss hotel-specific issues. However, Sheraton’s bargaining agent, Hospitality Industrial Relations (HIR), represents 47 hotels in B.C. under one Master Collective Agreement, and does the negotiating. “The Master Agreement is a collective agreement with terms and conditions of employment common to all 47-member hotels,” wrote Jason Koshman, an HIR spokesperson in an email. “No single hotel of the 47 negotiates separately with the Union.” It’s something room attendant Jean Harvey wishes would change. “HIR has too many hotels and Sheraton is so big compared to the other ones,” said Harvey. “We deal with different issues.” Harvey has worked at the hotel on Westminster Highway for nine years, seeing it change from the Richmond Inn to the Sheraton in 2010.

Hotel workers picketed outside the Sheraton Hotel on Westminster Highway Saturday. With the change, she also saw a rise in the hotel’s status, new amenities and an increased workload for her and the other workers. “The workload is more, but we’re still getting paid the same as before,” said the single mother of two. “It’s tough, the beds are heavy and we have to clean 16 rooms each, so that’s 32 beds to lift. We often say we’re working in pain.” Harvey works 40-hour weeks and makes $16.75 an hour, whereas room attendants at Delta make at least two to three dollars more and clean 14 rooms a day. And, if Harvey calls in sick, she doesn’t receive pay. HIR did not comment on what the employers brought to the table. “Out of respect for the bargaining process, HIR does not negotiate through
the media,” wrote Koshman. Last fall, the News reported on the BC Poverty Reduction Coalition’s press release in response to Canadian Business’s “Rich 100: The Richest Canadians in 2012.” The Coalition’s release, “What does the other side of the ‘Rich 100’ look like?” featured another Sheraton room attendant Anna Wong, while the owners of the hotel, the Lalji family, placed 24th on the Rich 100 list. “While the Laljis are now worth $2.25 billion, an increase of 9.7 per cent over last year, Anna makes just $16 an hour after working almost 20 years at the hotel. Despite seeing room rates at the hotel more than double in her time there, Anna’s wage has barely increased,” notes the release. SUBMITTED BY MICHAELA LYNN
Traffic was snarled along Steveston Highway and No. 5 Road Monday after a truck overturned, spilling what appeared to be construction waste near the Highway 99 overpass.

RTA: Money needed to strike a deal Trustees should be part of negotiations, Klassen BY PHILIP RAPHAEL
praphael@richmond-news.com
It doesn’t matter much who comes to the bargaining table, they had better be ready to discuss making a deal. That’s the short explanation of where local teachers stand after the province recently announced it had done away with the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) in favour of hashing out an agreement directly with a government representative. “The biggest issue, whether it’s as a direct negotiator for the government or not, you have to have the resources in order to make a deal at the bargaining table, no matter who it is,” said Al Klassen, president of the Richmond Teachers’ Association. “If the government holding the purse strings says there’s absolutely no money in the system and we’re not interested in settling on anything, other than wage rollbacks, then that becomes a huge problem.” In a posting on the province’s Ministry of Education website it states the move to have Michael Marchbank — CEO of the Health Employers’ Association of B.C. — assume all responsibilities of the BCPSEA board of directors is a temporary one to ensure “government can advance its plans to restructure the K-12 bargaining process and its mandate to secure a long term deal with the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation.” Despite the new minister of education’s statement that school trustees, who have been serving as BCPSEA directors, have been invited to remain in an advisory capacity to government, the RSA’s Klassen is not convinced that’s good enough. He is concerned there will no longer be a direct connection back to the communities with the elimination of school trustees from direct negotiations. “I would argue if you have people from the system negotiating, they have a direct tie-back,” he said. “(School trustees) are the ones who hear from their employees (teachers), as well as the public they are representing. They are not as far removed from the system as somebody appointed.” Klassen added trustees also bring to the bargaining table more realistic expectations of what can be done to
strike a deal. “You’re better off with a negotiating team composed of people direct from the employer, than a single representative appointed by the government.” School trustee Debbie Tablotney, who is vice chairperson of the local Board of Education, said the elimination of the BCPSEA came as a surprise and caused concern among fellow trustees. “Our concerns were that we needed to have a voice at the table,” Tablotney said, adding that Richmond has yet to invited to provide any input at upcoming contract talks. One main concern trustees want ensured at the negotiating table is that any increase agreed to be fully funded by the province. Overall, Klassen said there have been so many cutbacks to education over the years that he finds it hard to remain optimistic a deal — let alone a 10-year agreement the government is pressing for — will be easily reached with teachers. “We’ve had this current government in place now for 12 years, and they’ve pushed hard on public education as well as other sectors, and spent less and less money,” he said. “They are coming to the table with the mindset to keep all costs down, and don’t care that the cost of living is going up.” The constant paring down has left B.C. teachers far down the list in terms of pay — eighth or ninth in the country — Klassen claims. According to the BCPSEA, in 2011 B.C.’s teachers were fourth in Canada for both average starting salary ($47,461) and average maximum salary ($75,083). Teachers in Alberta are recognized as being at the top for starting salaries ($54,347), while Ontario educators have the highest maximum salary ($90,096). “We used to be third across the country and with our high living costs, it’s certain that we need reasonable wages in this province,” Klassen said. “We are now eighth, ninth to 10th,
“Our concerns were that we needed to have a voice at the table.” — Debbie Tablotney, trustee
depending on who does the numbers. We’re well behind in terms of salary.” It’s something that cannot be hidden anymore, Klassen said. “And at some time you have to bite the bullet and increase the wages appropriately. And that’s for everybody, not just for teachers, all workers in either the private or public sector.” Another issue being offered to teachers as they prepare to begin bargaining talks next month is the right to strike — something the government has said it will consider by removing teachers from the list of essential services. It’s a move Klassen said makes sense. “We’ve long argued that we’re not truly in the fold of essential services,” he said. “If you look at who is, across the country and world, basically the idea is reserved for people responsible for life and limb — firefighters, ambulance workers, police and medical staff. “Can you equate life and limb with the education system — not really.” As for striking a 10-year deal, Klassen said the lack a decade-long agreement elsewhere in the country is a clear indication it’s not feasible. Even in Alberta, where Klassen said relations between government and teachers is much more amicable, both sides stepped away from a 10-year agreement because it was impossible to implement. “There were too many unknowns at the 10-year state level,” he said. “If they (B.C. government) came forward with a very competent class size, composition and compensation package, yes, teachers would not stand in the way of a 10-year deal. But these guys aren’t willing to put resources on the table even for a two or three-year deal. So, how can you trust that the government would be willing to do that for a 10-year deal.”

Wrong direction
bus ticket has always been a valid fare aboard the Canada Line. Until now. TransLink, the top-heavy money pit that has been the bane of nearly every mayor unlucky enough to sit on its impotent second board, now plans to introduce the Compass Card. The card may be a good idea. TransLink’s execution has been woeful. It would cost far too much, TransLink argues, to implement a system at the SeaBus terminals and SkyTrain stations so that bus riders without a Compass Card don’t have to pay twice. What’s more, TransLink’s tireless canvassing of focus groups has revealed that customers don’t want $9 million spent on new fare boxes. It’s good TransLink listens to its customers at least some of the time. Listening to its employees may be another issue. Demonstrating the caution we’d expect from a major corporation, TransLink commissioned its own study on the cost of fare gates several years ago. The study concluded fare gates were a bad idea. If nothing else, going ahead with a project repudiated by your own staff illustrates the pitfalls of political interference. TransLink services one of the largest transit areas in Canada, and much of the service is quite good. Still, the notion of requiring some 6,000 riders a day, not to mention tourists, pay twice for one product is unconscionable. A compass can show you where you’re going. The Compass card is showing us what we should get away from.
CHOICE WORDS
More history than Britannia The Editor, Britannia is not the only city-owned heritage site in Richmond, but judging by the amount of money being poured into it, you might believe it is the only one the city really cares about. While many thousands of taxpayer dollars were spent on weeks of full-page colour advertisements in several greater Vancouver newspapers touting the recent Britannia Maritime Festival, London Farm Day got nothing more than one simple text press release in our local papers. Britannia was flamboyant with signage, pennants, flags and massive origami cranes. London Farm didn’t even rate a banner. Don’t get me wrong, after more than 30 years of advocating for the preservation of Steveston’s heritage, I applaud the city for finally realizing there is value in our history and I want Britannia to be a success, but not at the expense of other sites, which are equally valuable and deserving of attention. Granted, Britannia is a big site, but it is getting a disproportionately large percentage of the city’s heritage budget. It’s time for Richmond to be fair and equally support all the heritage sites that are struggling to keep our history alive. Edith Turner Richmond

Liberals conveniently bury bad news Governments like to try to bury bad news announcements, and using a Friday in the dog days of summer is usually a good time to try it. And that’s what the B.C. Liberal government did last week, with a bolt from the blue announcement that it was ending its decadelong fight with the state of California and electrical utilities there over whether B.C. Hydro acted legally when it sold power to the state in 2000 and 2001. It’s been a fascinating story since it first unfolded and the sudden end to it leaves a lot of questions unanswered. And the way it has ended has also cost British Columbia a lot of money. The out-of-court settlement cost B.C. Hydro $750 million. Considering the government’s fierce insistence for years that it would never back down because nothing illegal occurred, it’s extraordinary it is actually writing a cheque to the Americans. The saga began in the winter of 2000-01, as California experienced an energy crisis brought on by a number of factors. Quite simply, California couldn’t generate enough electricity on its own to keep up with demand, and so was forced to look outside the state for help. One of the energy companies California officials called was B.C. Hydro, which sells surplus electricity it generates through its export subsidiary, Powerex.
Keith Baldrey IN THE HOUSE
At the time, I interviewed the energy traders responsible for selling the power to California. They use a complex system that requires them to ensure that B.C. energy demands are met before they start moving power. They also are acutely aware of the price of electricity at any given moment. It is traded on an open, “spot” market and the price can vary at different times of day. In this situation, because California was in such a desperate and precarious situation, the price on that open market had skyrocketed and that meant B.C. Hydro, through Powerex, made a lot of money selling its power (roughly about $1 billion). At the time, B.C. Hydro was viewed as a saviour by California. However, within months, the Americans’ view had dimmed considerably, as they began to suspect they had been “played” by an energy market that had been manipulated by outside interests, including Powerex. The company was accused, in a lawsuit, of engaging in a lot of “Enronlike games” that effectively and illegally fixed energy prices through manipulation
and deceitfulness. Enron would mislead California’s power grid operators on how much power was needed, in order to increase scarcity and boost prices, and then sell at the artificially high rate. It also created false “congestion” on the grid, and then charged huge prices to relieve the congestion. Powerex was accused of being part of these schemes, although the company has strongly denied the allegations. It has argued it was paying by all the rules, and had simply taken advantage of the looseness of those rules. Energy Minister Bill Bennett has argued that throwing in the towel in this fight fends off what could have been an even more expensive outcome if U.S. courts had ultimately ruled against Powerex. He may be right, but his predecessors in that portfolio had adamantly maintained there was not a shred of evidence to implicate Powerex in any wrongdoing. So what’s changed? No real explanation has been provided, other than the claim that Powerex wants to “move forward and enhance (its) relationship with California”. If California ever goes through another such energy crisis, perhaps Powerex may think twice before picking up the phone when the Americans come calling. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Support staff requests reasonable Let Bentley live Open letter to MLA Teresa Wat, I am compelled to write to you regarding the breakdown of negotiations of the contracts for Richmond School Districts CUPE 716 support staff. As a school district employee, I do not want to strike, but I feel I need to support our negotiating team in what I feel are reasonable requests for the ongoing struggle to have a fair collective agreement. I love my job and I enjoy working and supporting the children in our district and have been an advocate for our children for many years. My advocacy started before I was an employee, but as a parent who was proud of the educational staff and goals in our district. I am still proud of what is accomplished in our district. I am asking that you urge Premier Christy Clark and the people responsible to return to the negotiating table with fair, reasonable requests.
When the government asked us to come back with cost savings, we did but they did not respect this because when they returned to the table, they did not come back with anything. We have not had a pay increase since 2009. Prior to this, it was one per cent (2006), 0.5 per cent (2007) and 0.5 per cent (2008), while the cost of living has increased at a pace at least triple this. We also showed our faith in the government in the last negotiations by accepting concessions and deferring any pay rises as we understood that our economy was struggling and wanted to do our part to help. We can’t do this anymore. Our requests are reasonable. When I continually see our taxes used to give corporations like TransLink pay raises for inadequate support in our communities, I have to shake my head and ask why we are struggling so much. When I see that our gas prices are the highest in North America, I shake
my head again. These things help me to stand firm in supporting our union leaders. When I look at all my fellow employees and what they face every day in their schools, I stand firmly behind my union representatives. When I see my municipal and provincial taxes rise every year, I support my union. Our representatives are prepared to return to the table but not if the government is unprepared to negotiate fairly and with reasonable concessions. Please help us continue to work in our schools by supporting our requests for fair pay increases, no more cutbacks and respect from the government. I want to continue working, I don’t want to strike, but at this point that seems to be my only option. Ingrid Trouw Business Assistant, JN Burnett Secondary School
The Editor, Re: “Having the right to die,” Opinion, Aug. 14. Feeding Margaret Bentley food and water is the most fundamental of nursing duties. It is NOT an artificial or extraordinary means of keeping her alive. Let’s suppose that we find an abandoned one year old child crying for food. Would we leave her to starve to death because she is not able to talk, go to the bathroom or do things for herself? Like this child, a person in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s no longer has a self-awareness of their condition. Like this child, she is a precious human being who needs love and care until the natural end of her life. Giving someone the ability to decide whether or not one’s life is worth living leads to a slippery slope. Just as our parents spent many sleepless nights taking care of us, let us care for them when they are no longer able to care for themselves. If we show them that we will be there loving them and taking care of them, however disabled they are, until their natural death, they will not feel that they will be a burden to us and wish to end their life sooner. They are NOT a vegetable but a human being with a soul. Caroline Macken Richmond

Some hot action on the Richmond Oval ice Sunday helped raise upwards of $30,000 for the 9th annual Noah Yelizarov Memorial Hockey Tournament. Roughly 120 players joined 500 or so others — fans and family friends — to support a variety of charities in memory of Richmond hockey player Noah Yelizarov who, in 2004, died in an accident while travelling in Thailand. Proceeds raised through the event’s three-on-three tournament, silent auction, beer garden and dinner will be distributed to Canuck Place, BC Children’s Hospital and other groups including a new one this year called Feed-U-Cate 38 that provides meals for Richmond school students in need.
Organizers said the tournament has raised around $200,000 since it started, and this year’s $30,000 is a preliminary figure. Don Taylor, who organizes the hockey side of the event said the ice traditionally draws 20 or more teams that are split across two divisions. This year the Division One Champions were Team Yelizarov, led by Noah’s older brother, Jonathan and Ladner’s David Rutherford, a former Vancouver Giants forward and current member of the AHL’s Charlotte Checkers, the minor league affiliate of the NHL Carolina Hurricanes. Top honours in Division Two went to Team Langham which was composed of players who played with Noah Yelizarov in their youth. Tournament MVP Rutherford is a good example of the young, high level, pro talent the tournament
attracts, said Taylor. “Noah and Jonathan had a lot of good contacts in the game who are all now in the 25 to 33 age range — players who are at the prime of their playing careers who take time out to come and support a very worthwhile cause,” said Taylor who was part of the very first Richmond Sockeyes Junior hockey team in the early 1970s. Also adding his presence to the event was Vancouver Canucks blue liner Jason Garrison, another former Sockeyes player. Garrison took a turn on the seat of the dunk tank set up on the Oval’s plaza area and invited those to take aim and raise funds for the event.

Every kid, regardless of their family’s financial situation, deserves to go to school with brand new school supplies, said Major Brad Smith with the Richmond Salvation Army. To help make that happen, the local chapter at 8280 Gilbert Rd. is giving away 75 brand new, black backpacks filled with supplies like pencil crayons, pens, paper and duo-tangs to children in need from Grades 1 to 12.
“They’re expensive — some people really can’t afford it. That’s why we’re trying to help,” said Smith. “It’s just for needy families, not John Doe who comes in for three backpacks. You also have to prove these kids are in the family by bringing CareCards or what have you.” Smith added the packs given out at the Richmond office are meant for those living in the community, and anyone who believes they qualify can drop by the office during regular business hours, see Smith page 17

Smith: Also Ensure proper backpack safety accepting backto-school gear Continued from page 16 Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Major Russ Holland, executive director at the Salvation Army Vancouver Community & Family Services said this initiative has been happening at locations across the the province for several years. “In the beginning the scale was pretty small,” said Holland. “It was just supplies in a paper bag, and then it grew to supplies in about 500 backpacks a few years ago. “And then last year the BC Chiropractic Association donated 5,000 to promote back health for children.” Each pack contains a fact sheet outlining safe carrying habits. Other businesses, such as Starbucks, Staples and Fitness Town, also chip in by either collecting donations or providing volunteers to help with the stuffing and distribution of supplies. Aside from the new backpacks given out, Smith said the Richmond branch is also accepting back-to-school gear. “If anyone in the community wants to donate, we can always use the stuff. We usually have more requests than just the backpacks,” he said. Families needing clothing can request a voucher that can be redeemed at any of the Salvation Army thrift stores.
Trips and falls on the playground may account for the majority of injuries that send school children to the nurse’s office. But backpacks cause their fair share of injuries as well. Children routinely carry more than the recommended weight in school backpacks and, compounding the problem, also carry their bags incorrectly. The American Academy of Pediatrics and other medical agencies recommend a child’s backpack should weigh no more than 10 to 20 per cent of the child’s body weight. However, this figure should be adjusted based on a child’s fitness level and strength. That means the average seven-year-old second grader, who weighs between 55 and 60 pounds, should be carrying no more than 11 to 12 pounds in his or her backpack. A backpack that is too heavy may cause: " red marks on the shoulders or back from the straps; " tingling or numbness in the arms and back; " changes in posture when wearing the backpack; and " pain anywhere in the back. To compound these problems, which also may include nerve damage resulting from pressure on nerves in the shoulders, children
should lighten their loads and carry backpacks correctly. Some tips: " Carry only necessary items. If teachers routinely have students carry home many heavy books, parents can consult with the teachers to see if there are other options. " Distribute weight evenly. Items in the backpack should be spread out to distribute the weight across the entire back. Heavier items should be at the bottom. " Use both straps. Using only one strap shifts the backpack weight to one side, causing the back and shoulders to strain. " Choose the correct backpack size. The size of the backpack should match the scale of the child and should rest evenly in the middle of the child’s back. " Lift safely. Children should lift their backpacks by bending their knees and lifting to protect their backs. There are some safety features parents can look for when purchasing backpacks. A padded back reduces pressure on the muscles and can be more comfortable, while compression straps make the backpack more sturdy. Additionally, reflective material on the backpack can make the child more visible to motorists.

Goaltender taking her talents to Notre Dame Perseverance paying off for Kylee Styles who is headed to renowned Regina school after cracking Team B.C. roster BY MARK BOOTH
mbooth@richmond-news.com
Kylee Styles’ perseverance has paid off with a one way ticket to Saskatchewan. The 16-year-old Richmond goaltender leaves for Regina Aug. 29 where she will be spending her Grade 12 year at Athol College of Notre Dame as a member of the renowned Hounds hockey program. She will be suiting up for one of the Midget girls teams that annually compete for the national championship and attend highprofile tournaments throughout the season. The hope is Styles can show off her talents to college and university scouts as a potential option in 2014. Not bad for someone, who up until recently, couldn’t crack the rep level locally. Styles has spent much of her career playing for boys teams after failed tries with rep programs in South Delta and Richmond. The difference is she refused to give in and kept working hard each summer to get better. It paid off two years ago when she played her first season of midget with a Richmond Minor boys team but was affiliated with the Pacific Ravens of the B.C. Midget AAA Female Hockey League. It got even better last season when she made the Ravens roster and went on to become one of three goalies named to the provincial U18 team. “I just always felt I was better than the opportunities I was given and deserved more of a chance to show what I could do,”
said Styles. “It just pushed me to better myself. Instead of always hanging out with my friends in the summer, I was in the rink working hard to improve. “I was looking for a new experience and something that was going to take me to the next level. One of the (Nore Dame) coaches approached me about the opportunity to play for them and I’m just really excited to be going.” Styles was a part-time goalie when she first began playing competitive hockey but always found herself diving on the ice to block shots. She figured she was born to be standing between the pipes. “I just didn’t last long as a player,” she laughed. “We had a rotation of goalies but all I wanted to do was block shots. It was just a natural fit for me and started soon after to take it seriously with the extra training.” Much of her off-season work was done working with Pasaco Valana. It helped paved the way to an invite to last May’s U18 B.C. Cup in Salmon Arm that featured the top 80 midget age players from across the province including eight goalies. She advanced to a second camp in Cowichan and was finally selected to Team B.C. that will be competing at the 2013 National Women’s U18 Champion in Calgary come November. Styles attended another week long camp at UBC in July that focused on strength and conditioning, along with team bonding. In the end, she has been named as the alternate goalie but has no regrets about the process. SUBMITTED PHOTOS
Kylee Styles’ determination has paid off with the opportunity to spend her Grade 12 year playing for the Notre Dame Hounds. She enjoyed a solid season with the Pacific Ravens and earned a spot with the Team B.C. U18 women’s program thanks to her play at the B.C. Cup (left) last spring. “It was an amazing experience to the point where I really didn’t mind being cut,” she said. “A lot of players would have gladly traded places with me. Besides I still could end up going (to nationals) and will have to prepare myself for it.” For now Styles is getting ready for what will be a college-like lifestyle at Notre Dame. She will be in a dorm room with other students and will have a flexible academic schedule that will work around her hockey commitments. “I think that’s what excites me the most. Just going to school that has that kind of a environment
and not worrying about telling my teachers I might be missing something for hockey,” added Styles. “It’s a semester system with four classes a day with a lot of work on the ice. We are also expected to be volunteering in the community quite a bit.” As far as dealing with the cold prairie winter for the first time in her life, Styles doesn’t mind the climate adjustment. “We went to a tournament last winter in Regina so I kind of know what to expect,” she said. “(Laughing) I just have to make sure I don’t go outside after games with my hair wet like I’m used to doing.”

Justin Turner-Pearce (left) helped B.C. win silver in the men’s soccer competition at the Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke QB.
Richmond rowers lead way in final week at Summer Games Cameron Howie, Colin Schaap & Kelly Jackson combine to win seven gold medals as B.C. dominates on the water Richmond athletes ensured Team B.C. finished with a flourish at the Canada Summer Games in Quebec. An impressive final day saw B.C. secure third place in the medal standings with 122, including 47 gold. BC’s rowing team was a force to be reckoned with, earning five gold and one bronze and finished the competition earning 12 of a possible 14 medals including 10 gold. Leading the way was Richmond’s Cameron Howie with an outstanding three gold medal performance. He teamed with Delta’s Max Lattimer to win the pairs event and added gold in the lightweight four and eight races. Colin Schaap produced a pair of gold. He too was part of the eight winning crew and joined Samuel Harris (Kelowna), Martin Barakso (Nanaimo) and Lucas deGelder (Vancouver) to rally back and win the the men’s four by an open water margin. It was also terrific regatta for Kelly Jackson. The 19-year-old Boston University student teamed with Cloverdale’s Hillary Jannssens to capture the women’s pair a event by an amazing 23 seconds over runner-up Ontario. Jackson then joined three Vancouver Island rowers — Mickey Aylard, Morgan Cathrea and Allie DeLarge — to win the four race by nine second margin. “It’s been a pleasure to be one of the coaches on this journey and we’re all very proud of our kids, how well they performed, and how well they conducted
themselves,” said assistant coach and Olympian Barney Williams. “One of the commitments we made was to engage the rowing community of B.C. through our experience, to try and bring the community together through the Games, and I think we succeeded in our goal. We took a picture of all of us in front of the flame and it will be displayed at every club in the province who produced an athlete on this team.” The B.C fencers also finished the Games in style with a total of 10 medals. Richmond’s Shaul Gordon won gold and silver while Dylan French added a silver and bronze. The coaching staff included Victor Gantsevich of the Richmond-based Dynamo Fencing “We selected the right group of athletes for these Games,” he said. “The development program in British Columbia has resulted in a new breed of fencers and has now shown that we are a real force to be reckoned with - both nationally and beyond!” On the soccer field, Richmond’s Jason Roberts an Justin Turner-Pearce won silver after a 2-0 loss to Quebec in the final. It was an impressive run to the gold medal match given B.C. entered the tournamwnt seeded eighth based on their showing in 2009. In track and field, high jumper Emma Kimoto continued her busy summer with a silver medal performance. Her best jump of 180 cm was beaten out by Alberta’s Rachel Machin.

Business born from love of bikes by Benjamin Yong At the age of 21, John Hauter first set foot in the heritage town of Fairhaven,Washington where he and his brothers opened up the shop Fairhaven Bike & Ski.That was 43 years ago, and he says he has no plans on going anywhere. “Fairhaven was, at that point, inexpensive to open a new business. There were not a lot of businesses there at the time, there was a hardware and a drug store. It was a beautiful little location on the bay.” said Hauter. “We opened the bike shop partially out of a love of bikes. Back in 1971 there was an oil shortage and there was a lot of talk of oil not being available to fuel cars in the future. Bikes were a good alternative means of transportation.” The now 63-year-old entrepreneur, originally from Renton, said it was kind of a gamble at the time — a gamble that has clearly paid off, seeing as how Hauter has the distinction of running the oldest continuously owned business in the area. Starting off selling strictly bicycles, the company soon expanded into apparel as well as winter sports gear catering to Mount Baker enthusiasts and even Canadians. In 2004 they built their current location at 1108 11th St. and are now a specialized dealer for exclusive ski
and snowboard brands like Never Summer Industries, Arbor Collective and nearby Seattle-based Union Binding Company. Customers can find the newest offerings from the above companies and others, and also closeouts on leftover spring and summer products on Sept. 21 during the eighth annual Fairhaven Historic Sidewalk Sale. “It’s a once a year sidewalk sale where merchants put out tables in front of their shops and sell off excess inventory,” said John Servais, who sits on the board of the Historic Fairhaven Association and looks after the town’s official website. Fairhaven will be busy for the eighth annual Fairhaven Historic Sidewalk Sale. “It’s a lot of choice handmade and craftsman stuff that’s There are over 20 places you can eat,” he said, adding that there made in the northwest rather than imported.” are a lot of similarities to Richmond’s Steveston Village.

Sports Great smiles that Clarke wastes little time in making an last a lifetime impact in her debut with LSU Tigers
A pair of longtime teammates didn’t waste anytime making an impact with the Louisiana State University women’s soccer team. Richmond’s Summer Clarke and Victoria’s Emma Fletcher showed why they are high-profile incoming freshmen by combining for the first two goals of the match as the Tigers opened the 2013 campaign with a 4-1 victory over Nicholls State University. Clarke scored the breakthrough goal in the 16th minute when she flicked the ball past Colonel goalkeeper Amanda Boylson inside the far post on an end-line cross from Fletcher inside the six-yard box. Clarke then returned the favor just four minutes later when she dribbled into the left side of the area and drew Boylson off her line to defend before centering to Fletcher standing near the penalty spot for an easy one-time finish into an empty net in the 20th minute of play. Clarke and Fletcher showcased the chemistry that has developed throughout their youth careers while playing alongside one another in the Canadian Women’s National Team system and Vancouver Whitecaps Elite Girls program before joining the Tigers this fall. “It’s the coolest thing,” Clarke
Summer Clarke
said of combining with Fletcher on their first goals as LSU Tigers. “I’ve been playing with Emma for five or six years now. We have good chemistry together. It was fun to have my first goal experience with her tonight. It was one of the most fun games I’ve had in a while. I thought our team meshed well together in our first game. It was a good start for the
team.” “I think our strengths complement each other,” Fletcher added. “She (Clarke) has amazing speed. I managed to find her quite often tonight. That usually results in a goal for us.” Clarke came close to scoring a second goal with just 10 minutes remaining in the first half. After beating Nicholls State’s defensive back line, she found herself one-onone with the keeper, but Boylson denied Clarke on a diving attempt for one of her seven saves on the night. The Canadian international is among 11 rookies nationwide named to the Pre-season All-Freshman Team. “During the evaluation process, our staff rated Summer the top striker in North America for the class of 2013. We also feel the same about the potential impact of Emma (Fletcher), Megan (Lee) and Rebecca (Pongetti) in each of their positions,” said LSU head coach Brian Lee. “We look forward to helping them assimilate to the college game, and are confident that as individuals and as a group they will have an exciting four years in our program.” The nationally 22nd ranked Tigers are set to open up the regular season on Friday when they play host to instate rival Louisiana Tech.
