Investigators pick through Remy remains for clues
32 PAGES
McMath stages spelling bee
Cause of devastating condo blaze may not be known for some time Martin van den Hemel photo Flames from The Remy fire could be seen from as far away as downtown Vancouver.
by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter As firefighters were dousing the last remaining hotspots Thursday at the construction site of The Remy on Cambie Road, there were more questions than answers about Tuesday night’s spectacular blaze visible from as far as downtown Vancouver. Charan Sethi, a local developer, found out about the fire Tuesday evening from his daughter and feared that a personal horror story was in the midst of repeating itself. It was on the afternoon of Oct. 1, 2008 that Sethi’s four-storey residential project in Surrey burned to the ground and to this day, he still doesn’t have all the answers. Despite the best efforts of police, fire and insurance investigators, and even the assistance of polygraph lie detector tests, the cause of that fire remains a mystery. And so there’s been no closure for him. “I’ll never forget that date,” Sethi told The Richmond Review Friday morning. While Sethi breathed a bit of a sigh of relief that it wasn’t one of his Richmond projects that was burning before his eyes, he empathized with the developers at The Remy and Oris Developments—Dana Westermark and
Barry Cavanaugh—who were about to go through the same nightmare he experienced. “It’s shocking for all of us,” he said. The Remy was a six-storey structure— the first woodframe building of its size in the province—and was completely engulfed in flames by the time fire crews were called at 10:50 p.m. The $60-million 188-unit condo tower was to include a wide array of affordable housing options. Westermark vows to rebuild it as quickly as possible. Sethi said he’s now looking at steps he can take to reduce the risk of a fire during the most vulnerable part of the construction process. Among the considerations is getting the sprinkler system activated earlier on, to help stem a fire should one start. A fire doubles in size every minute, Sethi said, and it wouldn’t take long for it to get beyond the controllable stage in a building like The Remy that was little more than exposed, tinder-dry wood studs. There are also other ideas being tossed around, but he declined to make them public for security reasons. See Page 3

Steveston history documented in new book Author Bill McNulty says sale proceeds will go to Onagawa by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Combing archives, museums, libraries and minds of historians, Bill McNulty has authored a new book on the history of one of B.C.’s oldest communities. Steveston: A Community History details the fishing village from 1859 to present and includes over 100 photographs. McNulty, a longtime Richmond city councillor, wrote the book after he was asked to update the Steveston
A Fleury of activity today Theo Fleury is in town for Hockey Day in Richmond today at H.J. Cambie Secondary School. Hockey Day in Richmond, a Youth Week event, is attracting hockey enthusiasts from across the Lower Mainland, including players from the Vancouver Giants, Delta Ice Hawks and Richmond Sockeyes. Former Calgary Flames great Theo Fleury, Hockey Day in Richmond’s keynote speaker, is also expected to pick up a stick for some tournament play before he talks about his own personal struggles with addiction to substances and gambling. Organized by Richmond Addiction Services, Hockey Day in Richmond begins at 12 noon, and runs to 5 p.m. Fleury’s speech begins at 3:45 p.m.
Community Society’s history. “I started to look at it and there seemed to be conflicting comments about Steveston and conflicting facts, so I decided to launch my own primary sources historical search of Steveston,” he said. The result is a 132-page chronological history of Steveston and the society, along with facts and anecdotes most people in Richmond have never heard before, he said. This is McNulty’s sixth book, and others are on the way, including one about Richmond’s sister cities and another about local sports heroes. “History has always been my passion. I’ve been a collector of everything from Olympic memorabilia to local Pacific Northwest memorabilia,” he said.
Despite the first published copies arriving just yesterday, McNulty has already heard more stories that could form an update. For example, he’s since learned about Charles Point, a fisherman who landed in Steveston in 1892—the great-grandfather of Lt.-Gov Steven Point, whom he met recently to discuss the Point family history. A big part of Steveston’s unique history is owed to Japanese Canadians, so proceeds from book sales will go to the tsunami-ravaged village of Onagawa, Japan. The Gulf of Georgia Cannery (12138 Fourth Ave.) will host a book launch Thursday, May 12, at 10:30 a.m. All are welcome to the event, where copies of the book will be available for a suggested donation of $20.
Remy was at a vulnerable point in construction phase From Page 1 City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend said investigators were carefully picking through the remains of The Remy—a $60 million, six-storey woodframe residential project that was to include affordable housing and a badly-needed daycare—in hopes of not destroying any clues while eliminating any flare-ups. Townsend said he doesn’t expect any potential causes for the fire to be known until next week. And even then, firefighters won’t be making that information public until after they’ve eliminated other possibilities, he said. According to Sethi, investigators will be looking at whether plumbing or roofing activity that involves torches, took place on the day of the fire. Asked what type of construction delay the fire might cause at The Remy,
Sethi said he didn’t know, but that in his case it was 14 or 15 months. He added, however, that his project in Surrey was smaller. Townsend said it would be premature to conclude that the height of The Remy had anything to do with the fire. It was scheduled to be the first six-storey woodframe structure of its kind in the province after Victoria changed the rules that had once limited woodframe buildings to four storeys. He noted that the building was still in the midst of the construction phase, and at a very vulnerable point. Had the planned safety measures been in place, such as drywall and a charged sprinkler system that extended to the balconies, that would have slowed the progress of the fire and perhaps limited the damage to one or perhaps two adjacent units.

Premier supports banning the use of cosmetic pesticides by Tom Fletcher and Bhreandáin Clugston Black Press NDP leader Adrian Dix proposed legislation Thursday to ban the use of cosmetic pesticides across the province, then challenged Premier Christy Clark to take action on a bill she says she supports. Clark was asked about the issue Wednesday, and replied that she has supported such a ban for years. She said she wants to work with the opposition and the public to work out the best way to further restrict the use of lawn and garden weed killers, a move that has already been made by several other provinces and numerous municipalities. Clark stopped short of saying the B.C. Liberal government would support the NDP bill, which refers to pesticides that mainly target insects and are not generally considered cosmetic. Clark also repeatedly referred to cosmetic pesticides as the target of the proposed legislation. Dix said the NDP introduced similar legislation on Earth Day last April, but the government took no action. Ontario and Quebec have already banned “cosmetic pesticides” and have seen broad compliance from the public, he said. The most common target of such bans is herbicides used to kill dandelions and other broad-leafed weeds. Michelle Li, chair of the Richmond
Jennifer Gauthier photo Michelle Li and the Richmond Pesticide Awareness Coalition fought to have cosmetic pesticide use banned in Richmond.
Pesticide Awareness Coalition, was encouraged by the news, though wondered why a committee needed to be formed. “I am wondering why delay it any longer? We have already had a public consultation on the issue. Ontario already has legislation in place that we can base our legislation on, so I really don’t understand the purpose of another committee and delaying this any longer. There is support from so many organizations that it should be easy to implement,” she said. Richmond banned the use of pesticides on residential property and most city property in 2009. The by-
law gives the city the power to fine homeowners up to $1,000 for using products like Roundup and Killex to maintain outdoor grass, trees, shrubs, flowers and other plants. “We know the risks, we know that other cities and provinces have banned it, so there is no need to have yet another committee,” Li said. “I hope that this is one issue that Christy Clark will really rally behind and show B.C. that she will take a stand where others haven’t—that she will make sure that not another person is exposed to unnecessary pesticide exposure for the purpose of a weed-free lawn or park.”
Woman sues hotel over elevator mishap
A woman is suing a Richmond hotel and its management company after elevator doors allegedly closed on her without warning. Diane Allen was attending a conference May 9, 2009 at what was then known as the Best Western Richmond Hotel, at 7551 Westminster Hwy. Upon entering a guest elevator, the doors closed on her, she claims, causing a fractured rib, bruises, contusions and pain and suffering. Allen has filed a civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court against Richmond Inn Hotel Ltd. and Larco Hospitality Management Inc., saying the defendants were negligent in failing to ensure the elevators were “reasonably safe.” She is seeking general and special damages. The defendants have yet to respond to the allegations, which have not been proven in court.

Election analysis: Majority no surprise, but still surprises

Allan Warnke predicted a Conservative majority after doing a ridingby-riding analysis, but didn’t anticipate the NDP finishing with 102 seats, giving it Official Opposition status for the first time. “They may end up being potentially very effective, simply because of the Conservative majority, strangely enough,” said Warnke, a former Richmond-Steveston MLA. “Everyone’s settled down now for four years, and that means even in the first year where they may be some rough edges exposed, they have four years to hone themselves...” In Richmond, the NDP didn’t gain much of a foothold. Despite the NDP gaining dozens of seats, the party didn’t make significant gains here. “Richmond is a pretty small-c conservative riding, that gravitates
toward whatever party is about to form government, whether it’s Liberal or Conservative,” said Warnke, who lectures on political science at Vancouver Island University. Another surprise of the night was the Liberal party being reduced to third-party status. “We knew that the Liberal party was bleeding nationally,” he said. “In some ways it was not just [leader Michael] Ignatieff. It was the organization of the Liberal party. It was in a mess, and you could tell that during the campaign.” The Greens lost many votes across the country, but party leader Elizabeth May did gain a seat, finally giving a party that was once just a political movement a base it needed, said Warnke. “If she wants to see the Green party go anywhere, she’ll have to do a lot of work. Not just during campaign time, she has to build on the profile she has right now.” Bob Ransford, who was B.C. campaign co-chair for the Conserva-

tives in 2004, said Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s strategy to define and knock down Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff prior to the election was brilliant. “In doing that I think there was a deliberate strategy to set up a very stark contrast between him (Harper) and whoever remained standing. And there was a bit of calculated risk in doing that though because he wasn’t sure how [NDP leader Jack] Layton, if Layton become the one standing, how he would perform,” said Ransford. “Had the campaign gone on a bit longer, Layton’s populism could have caught wildfire and that strategy could have backfired.” But the federal Orange Crush, as the NDP’s surge in popularity was dubbed, didn’t translate into major advances among voters in Richmond. Ransord said the Conservatives’ strong base in B.C. helped repel the NDP wave.

Students cycle for diabetes fundraiser Students from across the city will be burning up their muscles for a good cause next week at J.N. Burnett Secondary. Students from Richmond schools have signed up to cycle on a stationary bike for 12 hours to raise funds for research into a cure for juvenile diabetes. Cyclebetes will be held on Friday, May 13, and Saturday, May 14, in Burnett’s gymnasium, 5011 Granville Ave. Students are invited to come as individuals— where they can join any of the teams already signed up—or as teams. “Students can make friends here as well as exercising and enjoying the entertainment we’ll be having,” said Claudia Chang, a member of Burnett’s Cyclebetes student leadership team. Organizers are planning movies, performances by local students and music for throughout the event. There will be hourly prize draws for students riding on the stationary bikes, and up for grabs are gift cards or small gift bags from sponsors. Students are asked to provide a minimum $15 pledge in order to participate. All proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. —by Martin van den Hemel

EDITORIAL: Here’s to a less toxic environment
I
t looks as if B.C. will soon get a ban on cosmetic pesticides.
On Thursday, newly-minted NDP leader Adrian Dix proposed legislation to ban the use of cosmetic pesticides across the province, then challenged Premier Christy Clark to take action. Clark, who also recently became leader, says she has supported a ban for years and wants to work with the opposition and the public to work out the best way to further restrict the use of lawn and garden weed killers. If the two leaders can work together to pass a bill it would be a promising sign that bi-partisan co-operation is possible in a forum more noted for rancorous debate. We are not sure how much there is to study. The dumping of toxic chemicals on such “weeds” as dandelions and chickweed (which are both edible) is totally unnecessary. Why should those who can’t be bothered to weed by hand endanger others by building up a toxic environment. The province can look to such cities as Richmond, which has had a cosmetic pesticides bylaw since 2009. (Technically, it’s herbicides that such bylaws target, but most people involved in the debate refer to them as pesticides.) Richmond’s bylaw gives the city the power to fine homeowners up to $1,000 for using products like Roundup and Killex to maintain outdoor grass, trees, shrubs, flowers and other plants. The bylaw came about in part from pressure from the community. The Richmond Pesticide Awareness Coalition was formed by concerned citizens, some of whom had actually been sprayed by weedicidal maniacs. Thanks to their lobbying, the message is getting heard at the provincial level. Ontario and Quebec have already banned cosmetic pesticide use and B.C. looks set to join them. More than 20 cities throughout B.C. have already banned cosmetic pesticide use. It’s essential to have a province-wide ban so we don’t have examples of people being able to buy their dandelion death juice from a neighbouring municipality. So here’s to a less toxic environment, both in the legislature and on our lawns.
Soon, B.C. residents will have to tackle weeds with garden shears, not herbicides.

O
n Monday night, my kids were glued to the television set. No, not a Disney special or a kids movie, they were keenly watching the election results. And even though they understood the significance of Elizabeth May’s election into parliament they were devastated by the overall results.
During the weeks leading up to the election, I tried to keep them informed of what each party stood for and who represented them in our riding. I think my five-year-old was one of the few kindergarteners actively polling people who they were going to vote for. Most were quite surprised that they were so interested in politics. But why shouldn’t children be interested in our political environment. It impacts their future directly. In fact, I truly believe that children should influence their parents on how to vote. My children chose their party based on three criteria: How did the party protect the(ir) environment? What kind of support did the party give to teachers, doctors, and all the services that kids need? And last, but not least, how well did the
party play with others? I think their thought process was pretty powerful and they didn’t come to their conclusion lightly. They saw the direct connection between the physical environment and their future. They understood how our medical and education system required government support, and they wanted government representatives who worked with integrity. I don’t think it was a surprise to say they were not in support of the Conservative Party. They came to that decision based on the party’s support for the tar sands, for asbestos mining, for genetically modified food, proroguing parliament, and the final contempt of Parliament finding. We got quite caught up in this federal election, unlike any other. In
We got quite caught up in this federal election, unlike any other. In some ways, it was quite surprising to me, since I don’t often put much faith in federal politics. some ways, it was quite surprising to me, since I don’t often put much faith in federal politics. My own work is very much at the grassroots (literally) and that’s where I see real changes taking place. So, when the blue wave swept across Canada and my kids looked at me with worry in their eyes, I had to remind them of all the amazing things that are going on in our community. In Richmond, we have a gold-standard pesticide
bylaw that protects children from exposure to cosmetic pesticides; more than fifty per cent of Richmond schools are now growing food gardens; a new community garden was born over the weekend in front of Homma School; and chickens are hatching at the Terra Nova Sharing Farm. All of these small actions have an influence on politics and that’s what I need to remind both the girls and myself about. Ordinary citizens are change makers, not our representatives in Ottawa. No one party, be it blue, red, orange or green, is going to “save” us. We need to do that for ourselves. Arzeena Hamir is co-ordinator of the Richmond Food Security Society.

letters A win for casino foes Editor: As someone who spent many evenings at Richmond City Hall seeking to fight the expansion of the casino years ago, I want to report some exciting news: Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson has led the way to veto Vancouver’s casino expansion. “Vancouver, not Vegas.” Nearly a dozen churches in Vancouver along with civic leaders and political, medical, professionals, artists and law enforcement types, said no to a proposed large casino in the downtown core of Vancouver. The mayor said, “Enabling the largest casino in Western Canada in our downtown doesn’t fit with Vancouver’s global brand as the world’s most livable city, the green capital, and hotbed for innovation from clean and digital technology to resource management.” Vancouver had the integrity and courage to turn down $140-million a year if the new casino’s revenues had reached the projections forecast. Maybe it’s time for some changes to come to our Richmond City Hall! Esther McIlveen Richmond

‘Boring’ election proved to be anything but Editor: The May 2 federal election was the one that no one wanted. It was considered to be not only unnecessary but also a boring one. On the contrary, the five-week campaign and the results proved this to be a very exciting and unpredictable election. This election has brought about a seismic shift in Canada’s political landscape. Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have finally received their longcherished majority. Let’s hope
that they will use this mandate wisely. The NDP’s historic breakthrough in Quebec bodes well for Canada. With the near demise of Bloc Quebecois, the issue of Quebec’s threat of separation can be laid to rest. The collapse of the natural governing party (Liberals) indicates that they need to reinvent themselves in order to regain public trust. All in all, it was a fascinating display of our democratic process. At the local level, congratula-
tions are in order to Alice Wong and Kerry-Lynne Findlay. It is a great credit to all of the candidates in both of our ridings— Richmond and Delta-Richmond East—that the campaigns were run on policy not on personalities and mud slinging. They were well run by all parties. For this, all of the candidates and their campaign workers must be commended. Balwant Sanghera Richmond

letters Fuel facility has safety features Editor: Re: “New homes and jet fuel not the best mix,” April 29, Letters. All elements of the proposed Vancouver Airport Fuel Delivery Project will be designed, constructed and operated according to the latest regulations, standards, codes and guidelines associated with marine terminals, fuel handling facilities, and pipelines. In Canada, fuel handling facili-
ties must be designed and built to stringent seismic, fire and building codes. They must comply with CSA, National Fire Code and Federal Storage Tank regulations. If built, our fuel receiving facility will incorporate a number of prevention measures, such as secondary containment, emissions control systems, and modern corrosion protection and leak detection systems. It will be controlled and monitored by operations personnel during all offloading, fuel transfer and fuel handling activities. Our facilities would be located on land zoned for industrial use. The
operational areas of the marine terminal are more than a half-kilometre away from the condo complex, and the fuel receiving and storage area even further. This separation does not pose a significant risk to residents of this complex. The rigorous provincial and federal environmental assessment process, which includes the City of Richmond and Richmond Fire-Rescue, will ensure the project provides a safe and environmentally responsible solution to serve the airport long into the future.

letters This voter wanted to vote Editor: Your front page on Thursday says nearly half of Richmond voters didn’t vote. I’m one who was effectively denied my option to vote, as, I hear, were other disabled people. I received my voting card in the mail a week or two ago—looked at it, saw “school� and figured, “good, at the same place, next door, I’ve voted the past three or four elections.� On election day I show up at Blundell Elementary School only to be told that my polling station is actually a mile farther from my home, at Richmond High on Minoru. I asked the supervisor there if any accommodation could be made (for example, was there a budget for an accessible taxi?) He phoned the chief electoral
officer (I think to ask if they could take my vote here, at the logical and usual location) but the chief said no. I’m in a power wheelchair and it was pouring rain really hard on Monday. I was frustrated that the recent gerrymandered addition of DeltaRichmond East had arbitrarily pushed a mile farther from home to vote. (I know the gerrymandering wasn’t extreme, like “Gracie’s Finger� from way back, but still comes across as arbitrary and counterfunctional.) Since the last election, I actually moved a block farther from Blundell Elementary, yet they still saw fit to make me go even farther (by two kilometres). George Pope Richmond

Don’t be a victim of telephone fraud Seniors are too often victimized by telemarketing fraud. Studies from the American Association of Retired Persons have shown that many elderly fraud victims simply don’t suspect the person soliciting money on the phone could be a criminal. In Canada, the Better Business Bureau is warning of phone calls that are fraudulently claiming to be from legitimate businesses, but are in fact scams meant to steal credit card numbers and other sensitive personal information. “People should think twice when giving out any information over the phone—even if the name sounds legitimate,” says Lynda Pasacreta, Better Business Bureau president and CEO. “Scammers often use familiar or well-established names in order to gain trust, which poses a real danger to the public.” The Better Business Bureau has received reports from the public recently about unsolicited phone calls from companies such as Safeway, Air Miles, Microsoft and West Jet. Most of these fraudulent phone calls begin the same way: an automated or live caller contacts the person, referencing membership points and a prize—including bonus points, extra miles or a vacation. The caller then asks the person to provide their credit card information for verification. These companies have advised that they do not make unsolicited calls in which they request personal or financial information. In the case of the alleged caller from Microsoft, they claim to be phoning about a serious problem with the person’s computer. The caller warns that if the problem is not solved, the computer will become unusable. In order to “fix” it, the computer owner is directed to a website and told to download a program, plus pay a fee for a subscription to this preventative service. The catch: there was never anything wrong with the computer, the caller is not working for Microsoft, and the owner has downloaded to their computer damaging malware and spyware. BBB advises the public that these phony phone calls are common, and people should: •Treat all unsolicited phone calls with skepticism. Check with the organization directly that the caller
is claiming to be from, using the contact numbers found on their website. •Do not provide any personal information. Many of these scam calls are an attempt to steal your identity, not just your money. Don’t provide personal information over the telephone. •Never provide credit or debit card information for payment. You may be able to reverse charges made through your credit card, but you’ve given enough information for fraudsters to use your account for other transactions. And debit purchases are difficult to reverse. Report any fraudulent activity, especially if you’ve been a victim. Consumers should report any fraudulent activity to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or www.antifraudcentre.ca.

sports Bhullar is Sportsperson of the Year
SPORTS EDITOR: Don Fennell Phone: 604 247 3732 E-mail: sports@richmondreview.com
by Don Fennell Sports Editor Legend has it that Arjan Bhullar’s first steps were taken on a wrestling mat. True or not, wrestling has been his No. 1 passion from an early age. Defeating Joginder Kumar in the gold medal match of the men’s 120-kilogram weight class at last year’s Commonwealth Games in New Dehli made him a folk hero in India, and armed him with renewed confidence and determination as he pursues his dream of competing at the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London, England. “I am definitely going to continue to wrestle until the 2012 Olympic Games. Beyond that I don’t know right now,” said Bhullar, recognized as The Richmond Review Sportsperson of the Year for 2010 at the 12th Richmond Sports Awards and Recognition Banquet Thursday. (The annual celebration is presented by The Review, Richmond Sports Council and City of Richmond). Bhullar has expressed an interest in mixed martial arts and a possible career in that sport. In the long term, he
said he would like to stay involved in wrestling—perhaps as a coach. “But right now all the focus is on 2012,” he stressed. A week shy of his 25th birthday, Bhullar was treated like royalty after his gold-medal victory in India. Children clamoured to get his autograph and admiring adults to get their photo taken with him. But while enjoyed the moment, it didn’t take long before reality—and the hard work still ahead—set in. Recently returning from a training camp in Cuba, Bhullar is now preparing a summer schedule that will culminate at the world championships in Istanbul, Turkey Sept. 8 to 10. As important as wrestling is to Bhullar, family is equally so. Growing up on a Richmond farm, he was surrounded by a large, supportive family that ensured there was never a dull moment. A makeshift gym provided the foundation for many hours of fun, and for the athletic Bhullar a place to hone his wrestling skills under the tutelage of his dad Avtar, a national-level wrestler who won many tournaments
and championships in Canada and India and came close to qualifying for the Olympic Games. While attending James Whiteside Elementary, Bhullar also began to display a notable athletic prowess in basketball and football. But eventually he stopped participating in the two sports to concentrate solely on wrestling. Bhullar won three provincial high school championships and in Grade 12 added a national age-group title. The hard work was clearly paying off. After graduating from high school, Bhullar enrolled at Simon Fraser University and joined the wrestling team. He earned several honours, capped in 2010 by a second consecutive National Intercollegiate Athletic Associationchampionship in the 120-kilogram weight class. He also graduated with a political science degree. There’s only two more achievements to make Bhullar’s wrestling resume complete: a world championship and and Olympic gold medal. Mike Jones, in his 32nd
Arjan Bhullar had plenty to celebrate in 2010, including a second consecutive NAIA wrestling championship and a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games.
year coaching wrestling at Simon Fraser University, said although Bhullar
(at 6-1, 100 kilograms) is small for a heavyweight, his persistence and work ethic are
outstanding. “I’ve been very pleased with his progress,” Jones said.

The City of Richmond would like to congratulate all the nominees and winners of the Richmond Sports Awards.

A strong communicator who stresses discipline, Maurice Hamlin guided the Richmond Blues to the provincial Juvenile A1 ice hockey championship in 2009-10. Since joining the Richmond Minor Hockey Association in 2002-03, Hamlin’s teams have never failed to qualify for the provincials. Coaching at the Juvenile level poses its own unique challenges. The players are involved in post-secondary studies or work full time; and their focus may not be on learning new team tactics. By communicating with and treating his players as men, and by exhibiting fair play and sportsmanship, he gains the respect of his players.
Hamlin stresses discipline and avoiding taking “stupid penalties,” and his teams are routinely among the least penalizes. Richmond hosted the Juvenile provincials in 2009, due in large part to Hamlin’s efforts in spearheading the hosting committee. While he does not have any kids playing hockey at the minor level, he continues to give unselfishly of his time and expertise. This dedication to the game has rubbed off on his son, who has assisted him in coaching the RMHA Juvenile A1 teams for the past several years. •Also nominated: Derek Chichak, Seafair Minor Hockey; and Ferenc Szabo Jr., Richmond Gymnastics Association.

Kaelan Watson was the most valuable player at the Canadian university women’s field hockey championships in 2010, leading her University of Toronto Blues to the national championship.
Kaelan Watson Kaelan Watson was selected tournament MVP and All-Canadian for the second straight season in leading the University of Toronto Blues to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport women’s field hockey title. Recently named captain of the Blues for the upcoming season, the Canadian national women’s team member began her field hockey career with the Richmond Field Hockey Club in 2000, graduating from the junior club in 2008. Club play was augmented when she became an Unner-14 player through the Field Hockey B.C. regional and provincial development program. She achieved success in this program through more refined skill development and a more competitive level of play. She also developed her skills from a different methodology by taking on the role of a club junior coach and later as a coach in the regional program. School field hockey at Hugh McRoberts Secondary also became an important field for her development, capped in 2007 when she and her teammates celebrated a provincial AAA championship. •Also nominated: Sara Hopwood (softball) and Christine Wong (golf ).

Jordan Oye Jordan Oye was a hockey player from the day he was born. Raised in Richmond, which is where his passion for hockey developed, Oye has given back to the community through teaching other kids how to skate and play hockey, as well as through other humanitarian ventures he came across while completing his Human Services Career Prep course at R.A. McMath Secondary, where he graduated. Oye’s skill and talent as a hockey player led him from the Richmond Sockeyes Junior B team to a Junior B team in Ontario and then to Fredonia State University where he is just finishing up a double major in business and economics. He has excelled over the past four years at his chosen sport as well as in the classroom, which has landed him on the dean’s list on several occasions. Not only has he often been on the dean’s list, but he has also won many awards and honours including this past season as the SUNYAC Herb Hammond Player of the Year award, and was named to the NCAA Division 3 All-American Hockey Team by the American Hockey Coaches Association. On top of that, he was nominated for a Chancellor’s Award, which is given to a student who excels at both school and athletics. He was chosen as a nominee from students from all across America. Also nominated: Evan Dunfee (track and field) Laurence Nixon (football).

High School Athlete
Nick Fyffe broke a 30-year-old B.C. record in 2010.
Nick Fyffe A long jumper, triple jumper, sprinter and decathlete with the Richmond Kajaks, Nick Fyffe is also a student at Vancouver College. At the 2010 BC High School Track and Field Championships, he placed first in the triple jump and third in the decathlon (as a Grade 10 athlete competing against Grade 11s and 12s). He also placed first in the triple jump and second in the long jump at the BC Juvenile Track and Field Championships, and second in the triple jump at the Canadian Juvenile Championships (competing against athletes of the same age and one year older). In winning the triple jump, Fyffe jumped 14.08 meters, breaking a 30-year-old B.C. record. Also nominated: Hans and Karsten Fast (volleyball).
JJ Schmidt Jean-Jacques (JJ) Schmidt moved to Canada from France in 1971, and to Richmond shortly afterwards. Before coming to Canada, he served in the air force as a technician. He carried on this vocation in Canada, and is known as a technologist. He got involved with the Richmond Kajaks Track and Field Club in the late 1970s as both an athlete and a coach. He has had considerable success in both. Schmidt spends 20 to 25 hours a week coaching, attending meetings or planning Kajaks events; and has been involved for many years in timing and organizing the likes of the Icebreaker 8k road race, B.C. Elementary Track and Field Championships, and the Richmond Olympic Oval 10k road race.
Victor Gantsevich Founder of the Dynamo Fencing Club, the largest and most successful in B.C., Maitre Victor Gantsevich has taught fencing in Richmond for the past 14 years. A qualified Master of Sport in Fencing, the highest sport specific level of coaching attainable, he has extensive experience at all levels from beginner to elite and recreation to Olympic, as well as in all three weapons—sabre, foil and epee. Gantsevich’s competitive students consistently achieve high rankings at all competition levels. Among the notables are his son Igor, who has been a member of the Canadian national team since 2004 in senior men’s epee; Tigran Bijgoric, also a Canadian national team member since 2004 in senior men’s epee; and Shaul Gordon, a Canadian national team member at the cadet and junior men’s level in sabre.
Gary Rosval Overseeing the day-to-day operations of the largest girls’ softball association in the province, and second biggest in Canada, is no easy job. But Gary Rosval makes it seem routine. As president of the RGSA, Rosval not only promotes the best qualities of the game, such as sportsmanship and participation, but has ensured the opportunity for local softball participants to participate in numerous tournaments throughout the season. Indeed, Rosval has helped Richmond establish a reputation as a tournament hosting capital, with girls’ softball tournaments just about every weekend at either London Park and McNair Park.
Wayne Braun Wayne Braun is the volunteer that sports organizations pray for. Having devoted more than 25 years to the advancement of curling in Richmond, he has also held executive positions in the Pacific Coast Curling Association, Curl BC, and is a founding member of the Pacific International Cup, an annual Richmond-based event that brings men’s and women’s teams from the U.S. and elsewhere to play against B.C. regional club champions. Braun was instrumental in the almagamation of three provincial curling associations to form one governing body—Curl BC. He was elected the first president of the new body. Braun doesn’t shy away from physical work either. Despite having to cross an international border (residing in the U.S. for family reasons), he paints much of the interior of the Richmond Curling Club every summer.

Don Fennell Award of Distinction Dolphin Park basketball classic organizing committee ’Twas the summer of ‘86. Designated the International Year of Peace by the United Nations, it was also the year Vancouver hosted the world at Expo 86. Out of Africa was the best picture, Madonna ruled the pop charts, and Search for Tomorrow ended a 35-year run on TV, the longestrunning non-news program in network history.
In Richmond, a group of recent high school grads had just organized a somewhat impromptu day-long basketball tournament with the top prize being a case of a popular adult beverage that would be consumed by end of the final.

Showcasing more than 8,000 plants, the “Blossom at Richmond Centre” event engaged mall visitors to create origami wishes to attach to the Flowering Wishing Tree. For every wish attached to the tree, Richmond Centre promised to donate $1 to Children’s Wish Foundation (to a maximum of $10,000, the average cost of granting one child their wish). In total, 12,902 wishes were put on the tree. Leslie Matheson (left), mall marketing director, and Maria Valley (right), marketing co-ordinator, present a $10,000 cheque to Kim Antifaeff (centre), fundraising co-ordinator, Children’s Wish Foundation.
Matthew Hoekstra photo Inspired into action by local fundraising efforts for victims of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan, Steveston’s Janet Yau, joined by her four-year-old son Tysen Nitta, rallied together 55 Steveston merchants and many moms to raise $8,100 for the Canadian Red Cross Society through a raffle.
