Police detonate suspected pipe bomb by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A powerful explosion rocked a Cambie Road neighbourhood Wednesday morning when police conducted a controlled detonation of a suspected pipe bomb found in a storage locker at Marvel Auctions. Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, police were called to the 4000 block of Vanguard Way, near Cambie and Shell roads, after court bailiffs who were seizing storage lockers because of unpaid rent found a cache of weapons and what appeared to be a pipe bomb. Area resident Maria Reavis said there was a very loud explosion and smoke filled the air when the RCMP’s explosive disposal unit detonated the device around 10:30 p.m. She claimed that as many as 30 weapons were found in the storage locker. The controlled explosion resulted in a small fire that was distinguished by Richmond Fire-Rescue. Family-owned Marvel Auctions has been in business since 1984 and holds a weekly general auction at its warehouse each Thursday at 5:30 p.m. “Due to unforeseeable circumstances, there will be no auction this Thursday, June 9, 2011. Sorry for any inconvenience,” Marvel Auctions wrote on its website. Marvel’s owners could not be reached for comment by press time Wednesday.

Tom Larscheid is still colourful in retirement Young-at-heart commentator marvels at Canucks’ success from his Richmond home
Memories of 1994
by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Tom Larscheid is used to seeing the Vancouver Canucks from the broadcast booth. But these days, the longtime hockey colour commentator is watching the Canucks’ Stanley Cup run at his Richmond condo on TV. And eight months after his final game, Larscheid still has plenty of colour to give. “It’s no different than any other year other than the fact I’m not up in my broadcast perch talking to hundreds of thousands of people. Now I’m just talking to my wife, and she’s heard some of my best lines ever—whether she wants to or not,” laughs Larscheid, 71. Larscheid began his career as the colour-man for the Canucks in 1977, serving over three decades in the role. He won the hearts of fans by being a fan himself, and watching his team make its first Stanley Cup Final appearance since 1994 is bittersweet. “I think I’ve handled retirement to this point and time quite nicely, but if I’m totally honest, I’m missing

the action. I’m missing being around not only the hockey club and this wonderful run, but I also miss the other colleagues around the league that I’ve come to know all these years, and they’re all at the Stanley Cup Final.” Reached Tuesday, a day after the Canucks’ devastating 8-1 loss to the Boston Bruins in Game 3, Larscheid said anytime Vancouver is “shellacked” is concerning, but he said the Canucks have the maturity and leadership to bounce back. “I believe that with all my heart,” he said. “There are going to be times when you’re really challenged and you learn how to win, and I think the Canucks are at this
stage. I don’t think they’re going to wallow in self-pity or be overly concerned about what happened in Boston.” The strength of this year’s Canucks, he said, is that they perform as a team should, with third- and fourth-line players all playing key roles in the team’s success. Ryan Kesler, the Sedins, Alex Burrows and Roberto Luongo have all faced adversity before. Especially in the last two seasons, when the Chicago Blackhawks took Vancouver out of the playoffs. “The Canucks are well prepared for this playoff run. They’ve been disappointed so many years.”
So have the fans. But fans in Vancouver— and B.C.—are coming out in droves to support the team, filling bars, arenas, streets and churches at viewing parties and clamouring to get their hands on any Canucks memorabilia. Seeing it unfold is a proud moment for Larscheid. “This city is just gone bonkers about this hockey team. It’s such a wonderful feeling and a wonderful sight for someone like myself who’s been a broadcaster who has tried to share his passion, his enthusiasm, through the airwaves, that will get people to have the same feeling that I’ve had watching live in the arena.”

•Tom Larscheid says some of his best memories as a broadcaster came in 1994, when the Vancouver Canucks came within one game of winning the Stanley Cup. •Canucks goaltender Kirk McLean’s save on the Calgary Flames’ Robert Reichel in Game 7, Round 1: “You just held your breath because you could see it unfolding—a threeon-one and it looked like the Canucks were going to lose for sure—and he stacked the pads and made the save... I said that will go down as the greatest save in Canucks history, and I think to this point in time, it has.” •Canucks forward Pavel Bure, in the same series, when he scored the winning goal in triple overtime: “That’s probably the most excited I had been up at that point as a broadcaster.” •Larscheid says the biggest disappointment came in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final against the New York Rangers: “To come that close and to lose by only one goal was so disheartening. I felt so badly for the players and the coaches who had worked so hard to overcome all the odds. To come back three-gamesto-one in that series as well. To lay it all on the line is unbelievable.”

Martin van den Hemel photo Police surrounded an apartment at Sussex Square early Tuesday evening after a shot was fired in the area earlier in the afternoon.
Man in custody after standoff in Richmond by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Police negotiators managed to convince a man and a woman in their 30s to willingly come out of a ground-floor apartment at Sussex Square early Tuesday evening after a shot was fired in the area earlier in the afternoon. Around 1:30 p.m., Richmond RCMP responded to a disturbance call on the 7200 block of Lindsay Road, Richmond RCMP Insp. Janis Gray said. When police arrived at the scene, a single shot was fired, but not by police, Gray said. As a result, police evacuated nearby residences and instituted a lockdown at two nearby schools (J.N Burnett Secondary and Donald E. McKay Elementary) for the safety of children who might be living in the sprawling condo complex near Granville and Railway. Gray said a man who is known to police was taken into custody. Police are still interviewing the woman who was with them. There were no children involved, Gray said. Asked if a weapon has been recovered, Gray said Tuesday evening that police had not yet completed the search of the ground-floor apartment where the man and woman had been holed up. Gray said police are continuing their
investigation, and still aren’t saying whether this was ever a hostage situation. Police cancelled a lockdown at J.N. Burnett Secondary around 4 p.m., as dozens of RCMP officers concentrated their efforts at Sussex Square apartments nearby. A helicopter was seen flying overhead an area west of Donald E. McKay Elementary, as emergency response team members continued to deal with what could be a hostage situation. The area was surrounded by police tape, and nearby roads were blocked for hours to traffic. A resident of Sussex Square, a sprawling apartment complex, told The Richmond Review there was a confrontation between two people at the complex before police descended on the scene. Earlier, Gray told reporters there was no threat to the general public, and that police were in control of the scene. Sussex Square is a multi-building apartment complex on Lindsay Road. Some officers were seen holding their shotguns as residents walked by. Students at Burnett had been told to stay in their classrooms, and blinds were drawn. At 3 p.m., as their parents waited outside the area cordoned off by police and wondered why so many police cars were in the area, students communicated with their parents via cell phone.
40,000 come to see the tall ships Though the event was much smaller than what was originally planned, Ships to Shore Steveston 2011 proved to be a much bigger draw than city staff expected. An estimated 40,000 people attended the four-day event at Garry Point Park to see four tall ships, much more than the original city projection of 25,000 people, City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend said. Although it was a little cool along the water, the blue sunny skies made for a majestic weekend. Feedback from all involved has been positive, Townsend said. “We cannot thank you enough for your incredible hospitality,” wrote Catherine Collins, executive director of the non-profit environmental education group Sound Experience, which runs the tall ship Adventuress.
Matthew Hoekstra photo The tall ships were in town.
From spectators to ship crews, it appeared all involved enjoyed themselves. Combined with the Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market on Saturday and Sunday, the Ships to Shore Steveston lived up to expectations. The city’s plan to generate a corridor for visitors to stroll between Garry Point and Steveston Village worked well, Townsend said.
Seung-Chul Baik photo B.C. Hydro plans to decommission the Granville Avenue substation, which is surrounded by condos.
B.C. Hydro plans to mothball substation Granville facility to be decommissioned by 2015 by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter For the growing number of condo residents who live around the B.C. Hydro substation on Granville Avenue near St. Albans Road, the constant hum of electricity flowing through a myriad of transformers is an annoyance they simply have come to live with. But relief appears in sight. The Richmond Review has learned that B.C. Hydro plans to decommission the substation by 2015, meaning the 2.2-acre property, currently zoned school/institutional, could eventually be put up for sale. The substation sits on two parcels of land: 8520 Anderson Rd. and 8511 Granville Ave. On Friday, @realcitylife tweeted: “decommissioning of power plant in Richmond, BC near Granville & Garden City—Fact or Rumour?” The Review initially made a query at city hall, where a staffer referenced a document about the substation, suggesting there was some substance to the query. On Monday, B.C. Hydro’s Donna McGeachie confirmed current plans to eventually take the plant out of service. One former resident and one current one of the adjacent townhouse complex west of the substation, welcomed the news. “It can only be good for the neighbourhood,” said the current resident, who has lived there for 19 years. She asked that her name not be published. “It did make us hesitate,” she said about the substation’s proximity to her townhouse. Whispers about the substation’s removal had residents talking. “I did hear some rumblings. It can’t be a bad thing.”
But with all of the high-density residential development that’s replaced what was once a “countrified” area, she’s eager to get out. And she wonders why the City of Richmond would permit so much family housing directly around a substation, which carries the spectre of a potential health hazard. A former resident, who wished to remain anonymous, said she sold her unit last year after 17 years of living adjacent to the substation. She was happy for her former neighbours. She said she never noticed the substation when she initially bought her townhouse, but said when she sold it last year, the substation’s presence affected its value. The problem with the substation is that it’s reaching its capacity, said McGeachie, B.C. Hydro’s manager of stakeholder relations. Additional distribution equipment will be added to the Kidd 2 substation as part of a multi-million-dollar upgrade at the River and No. 4 road location by the fall of 2012, after which distribution lines which feed homes and businesses will be redone. Adding the new lines could take up to three years, she said. The Kidd 2 substation has plenty of space for the upgrade, and its footprint won’t change, she said. The Richmond substation serves thousands of customers and sits on land owned by B.C. Hydro. McGeachie said it’s very rare to close a substation, but when that happens, it’s B.C. Hydro Properties that decides on what to do with the land. She doubts the central Richmond property, currently assessed at $6.8 million, would be used to either service or park B.C. Hydro’s vehicle fleet. One resident of the townhouse complex Space Style, 6860 Eckersley Rd., welcomed the news that the nearby substation’s days are numbered. “Very happy,” the man said in broken English. The decision to decommission the substation came in 2008, when B.C. Hydro realized it needed to upgrade Richmond’s electrical supply. The alterations were approved by the regulator in 2009.
Human remains discovered on sand pile by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Richmond RCMP have confirmed that human remains were found on the 17000 block of Portside Road, south of Westminster Highway and No. 8 Road in East Richmond on Monday morning. How those remains got there is
now a focus of the police investigation. An employee of Fraser River Pile and Dredge reported that he had located a jawbone while inspecting a pile of sand that had been brought to the area for a construction project, Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said. “The jawbone was located on
the top of the sand and does have teeth intact. The coroner was contacted at which time we were able to confirm that the jawbone is in fact human,” she said. RCMP Insp. Janis Gray said it’s not known if the remains were brought to the area by an animal, perhaps a bird, or if it was dredged up from the river bed.

Did you know that Richmond residents currently recycle about 50 per cent of our waste? That is a great statistic, considering as little as 20 years ago, everything was considered garbage. The City has written a document titled “Report 2010: Towards excellence in recycling and solid waste management” which outlines what we are already doing and has information regarding programs and places to take recycling. It also sets out future goals and programs that will achieve them. Richmond has a new goal of 70 per cent waste diversion by 2015, increasing to 80 per cent by 2020. These targets are achievable, but we must all work together to weed out remaining materials in the waste stream.

Development dips, gaming clicks
Look for these flyers in the richmond
by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A record year for development appears unlikely to be matched in 2011. According to a new finance department report, the city issued 335 building permits in the first quarter, a slight drop from 348 in the same period in 2010. Building permit revenues are also down, as are development applications and housing starts. But the value of the construction that is
occurring, such as the high-end condominiums of River Green—is up. In the first three months of 2011, building permits carried a construction value of $97.6 million, compared to $88.5 million last year. In 2010 Richmond issued a record $813 million in building permits, crushing the previous record set in 2006 of $680 million. Observers pointed to the Canada Line, Olympics and a redrafting of the City Centre area plan as keys to the city’s economic rebound. Housing starts in the first quarter have fall-
en to 178, compared to last year’s 371. So far this year, just 54 units have been added to Richmond’s housing stock, compared to 219 from last year—a 75 per cent drop. Gaming revenue, however, hasn’t suffered any setbacks. Year-to-date revenues for the city total $3.6 million—14.2 per cent higher than the previous year. Staff suggest revenues at the casino have been growing since the opening of the Canada Line and the recent redevelopment of the resort.

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter City council is mulling how to spend $2,452,800 in cash remaining from last year’s budget. The surplus is actually higher, but council already used some of the leftover cash to balance this year’s budget. RCMP contract savings and a boon in development revenue—thanks in large part to a hike in development cost charges that developers rushed to beat—are the city’s two biggest sources
that left the finance department with more money than it spent. On Monday, city staff presented its wish list of 23 projects totalling $2.5 million. Among them: $200,000 for a dyke master plan to forecast long-term upgrades to meet “rising sea levels and seismic concerns,” $145,000 to manually fight weeds in the wake of council passing a bylaw banning pesticides, and $100,000 to develop a new noise bylaw. City council has yet to approve any of the recommended projects.

Mixed results when old meets new
T
hose motoring by Richmond’s infamous intersection at Granville Avenue and Garden City Road won’t see the sign, but metaphorically, it’s there for planners to ponder.
Caution—old Richmond ahead. A B.C. Hydro power substation is being decommissioned at the City Centre corner, just in time for future residents who bought apartments being built around it. Crisis averted. All across the city, old Richmond is meeting new Richmond with mixed results. In South Richmond, townhouse dwellers learned the downside of living next to a light industrial warehouse. Generators at True World Foods hum to no end much to the dismay of those who live in new homes facing it. In Brighouse, the wheels continue to turn in providing concrete legislative relief for businesses suffering under heavy property taxes. The high tax bills began coming years ago after the city introduced a new area plan that opened up a once light-industrial hub to high-density residential—a zoning potential that turns ordinary lots into multi-million dollar parcels. In City Centre, high-rises now stand downwind of the Grimm’s Fine Foods smokestack. It’s only a matter of time before residents rise up against this smoky busi-
A B.C. Hydro substation—surrounded by new residential development projects—is just one example of how old Richmond is meeting new Richmond.
ness, long established before their homes were built. Across the city—especially in North and West Richmond—is aircraft noise. Development is happening in the area at record pace, despite many of the areas being exposed to aircraft noise. Airport officials aren’t keen on new homes under the flight path, warning of
trouble ahead. In East Richmond, farmland is under threat every day, especially on smaller agricultural land parcels—many being bought up by deep-pocketed speculators or investors looking to build estate homes. All are examples of Richmond’s current shift away from a suburb
to a big city. These are the ambitions of those at city hall and the residents who elect them. But what surprises are next? Careful planning is needed before the city allows multi-family residential development in areas never exposed to it before. That means a solid study of how old meets new.

L
ike most patriotic sports fans, my family has been glued to the television on game night.
These playoffs have coincided with the first stretch of good weather and for me, catching up on weeding and trying to get my garden in, have pulled me in outside. I will often lose myself for hours in the garden, especially when work has been stressful. Nothing beats the satisfaction of pulling out a thistle after a hard day’s work. If my kids join me, we’ll go on ladybug hunts or try to
find the bugs inside the “spit” that’s all over the lavender right now. On one such game night/gardening session, I had meant to stop working outside in time to run over to the bank to cash a couple of cheques. Losing all track of time, I glanced at my watch at 10 minutes to closing and dropped everything to rush over before the doors closed While I was out, I figured that I might as well pick up some groceries. So, by the time I returned, the game was well underway. Normally, by this point, a tall ship could have parked itself in our driveway and my husband and kids wouldn’t have noticed. That’s how engrossed they are, watching the box. I’m told that’s the norm for most hockey fans. This time, as I walked into view, I actually got an eyebrow raise from my husband and my eldest daughter blurted out “You went to the bank looking like that?!” Apparently, I
was quite a sight There was dirt on my pants and my shirt, and my fingernails were crusted in soil (I have a hard time keeping track of where I leave gloves). I had managed to smear dirt across my forehead too. But the crowning achievement in my “look” was the piece of thistle that had lodged itself in my hair. My family, by now, had switched their attention back to the TV but I still got a shaking of heads and a couple of eye rolls. Apparently, I was supposed to be mortified at the way I looked and I wasn’t showing any sign of it. In fact, quite the opposite. I’m a gardener and damn proud of it!! Growing food is a noble profession and yet we constantly try to hide the fact that we work with our hands, outside, in the soil. I love being able to identify gardeners and farmers. It’s like meeting members of your tribe. But, there’s that unwrit-
ten code that in public, you sanitize yourself of any association with physical work. Be it growing food, fishing, construction, or any trade that requires manual labour, we don’t want to associate ourselves with it. Why not? I would hope that as awareness of how important these skills increases, we look to the people who raise our food and build our houses and roads with pride. So instead of hiding the fact, we should be thankful they’re around. The Canucks fans may have their jerseys and car flags, but after hockey season fades, I’ll still be in my gardening wear. And, if you see me out and about with streaks of dirt all over myself, smile at my uniform. I wear it with pride. Arzeena Hamir is coordinator of the Richmond Food Security Society.

Better Grades Happier Kids
HST is costing us more
Tall ships’ dark past
Editor: British Columbians should prepare for a government snow job on the benefits of keeping the HST. It will come in blizzards. Remember how last July Colin Hanson estimated that the average B.C. family would pay $322 more each year? Government flacks have recently pegged it at about $300. This is pure 100 per cent, grade A, certified bovine stool! My family, I think, is average. I am a retired teacher on a pension. Our income is less than I would like, but we survive. We have been keeping track of our HST costs
Editor: The recent article regarding publicity for the tall ships is missing a very important fact. The fact that many of the original tall ships were transportation for slaves kept in deplorable conditions sailing while waiting for “resale” and profit in North America should be acknowledged. Locals and tourists should be aware that tall ships are not all about glamour and a festival atmosphere. They were at times used for transporting humans in deplorable conditions. Those people forced into slavery made possible by tall ships are important to remember. Should we all consider most activities “free” when we know that there was much misery suffered and paid by people who were made slaves? Dale T. Pitts Richmond
compared to the GST/ PST combination we paid until last July 1st. As of May 19, our extra costs have been $1010.63. There were a bunch of new taxable categories brought in by the HST. For example, my wife needs massages for back problems about every two weeks. They cost her $6 extra every time. Overthe-counter medications are now fully taxed under the HST. The repairman who fixes our stove now must charge 12 per cent more. There are hundreds of examples like this. No matter how Christy Clark “fixes” the HST, we will still be voting against it.

Ships to Shore superb Editor: I am writing to thank the village of Steveston for hosting a superb “Ships to Shore” event this past weekend. Seeing the tall ships in such close proximity was breathtaking. To that end, I would like to take this opportunity to give kudos to Harold Steves, as well as Deb Robson, Matthew McBride and Matthew Millar with whom I had the pleasure of meeting. It is through their continued efforts since 2002 that we are so fortunate to have an incredible festival on our shores. Richmond is most fortunate to have such capable and hardworking group of volunteers —hats off to all of them. Reesa Steele Richmond

Staff Reporter Jeffrey Ross is walking the boardwalk in Atlantic City hours before doing a comedy show, thinking up jokes about “these people” before turning to “you people.” Ross, a classic insult comedian, will be in Richmond Friday throwing punches in The Nasty Show, the first of two no-holds-barred comedy nights in Metro Vancouver presented by Just for Laughs. Lately, the 45-year-old funnyman has had some plum assignments. On Monday, Ross emceed a roast for the rosewielding Ashley Hebert on TV’s The Bachelorette. In March, he held court as Roastmaster General on a Comedy Central roast of Donald Trump. He also picked apart Charlie Sheen eight times as a guest on the actor’s tour. See Page 12
There is a growing appetite for comedy that insults, says notorious Roastmaster Jeffrey Ross.

Comedy’s main mean man From Page 11 “It goes back to prehistoric times. People love seeing big shots going down hard. It’s almost primitive,” said Ross in a telephone interview. “It’s like a public stoning almost. I feel people are very open to it, and they love to see blood.” Ross got his start working Manhattan comedy clubs. His career grew from years of dedication to the craft—specifically making fun of other people. Earning fame from roasting celebrities like William Shatner, Pamela Anderson and Hugh Hefner, Ross is now recognized as comedy’s main mean man with a knack for honouring people by dishonouring them. The key to a successful roast, he says, is to never apologize. Own your material and don’t back down. And if you dish it out—be prepared to take it. He does, including on his own website where fans compete by hurling insults at an, ahem, artistically posed Ross. Audiences, Ross says, have a growing appetite for roasts— whether jokes are targeted at people, places or things. Take
his “speed roasting” bit as an example. Ross invites audience volunteers to come on stage and be directly subjected to his insults. “They scramble. They climb over each other to get up there. Everybody wants to be the centre of attention, even when there’s a target on their forehead,” he said. “It’s something I’ve been experimenting with. It’s a little scary sometimes, especially in New Jersey, where God knows if they have guns and knives.” In Ross’s world, everything is fair game. He simply avoids doing shows where he could offend people and takes on assignments like The Nasty Show, where the only way to offend the crowd is by being too nice. But that leaves plenty of room for his comedy, even at funerals— if he got the call. “In my world everything is safe. As long as the joke is well-written and funny, people are OK with it. People laugh harder at funerals than anywhere. You know how that goes, you’ll always see a bunch of people in the back laughing at a funeral.”
Quick Quips Comedian Jeffrey Ross teamed up with Charlie Sheen on the actor’s tour earlier this year. He had plenty of material at his first show in Atlantic City. •“Defeat is not an option, Charlie. Are refunds?” •“Your father is ashamed he shares the same fake name as you.” •“Charlie, if you’re winning then something’s wrong with the ——— scoreboard.” —source: courtesy of Hollywood Reporter Ross keeps a short list of notorious celebrities he’d next like to roast on Comedy Central. Diddy, Sheen, Kanye would all be Roastmaster prizes. As was Trump, who offered Ross no shortage of material. “We could have done a whole separate roast of his hairdo,” he said. “Our Trump roast was so successful that President Obama roasted him a month later.”

Sick of Feeling Sick?
Food, machines, drink
Food for Thought Arlene Kroeker FOOD: If you love food, you need to attend at least one of the breakfasts, lunches, or dinners at the 48th annual National Chefs Conference. More than 500 North American chefs will be in Vancouver from June 10-16 to test their skills, share ideas, and explore new culinary trends. The event is open to the public (www.ccfcc. eventbrite.com). Events include: •Women in the Industry Luncheon on June 13 at the Renaissance Hotel Harbourside with Chef Karen Barnaby (Fishhouse in Stanley Park) and others. •Aboriginal Potlatch Supper at Vancouver Community College. The
menu includes indigenous products and a mix of modern and traditional cooking methods. Here’s a sampling: spiced seafood cakes with corn puree dandelion salad, braised bison brisket, roast venison loin with savory bannock bread pudding, rabbit sausage with king oyster ragout and blueberry pine nut chutney. •Dragon Feast of the Century at Rain Flower Seafood Restaurant on No. 3 Road features a once-in-a-lifetime feast created by 16 award-winning Asian chefs using BC products. There’s more, but I’m feeling full. Tickets range from $50-$150. Vancouver hosts the conference once every 10 years, so take advantage of this experience. Oh, I almost forgot, there are also competitions, including ice carving (June 12). MACHINES: My friend, chef Ann Kirsebom, returned from the Callebaut Chocolate Academy in Quebec a few weeks ago, where
she endured an intensive chocolate course. They used a Thermomix for everything they made. “It makes incredibly perfect ganache in just minutes,” she told me. “It weighs the ingredients, programs your products, and voila.” A Thermomix, she told me, kneads dough, mixes, minces, grinds, cooks, steams, stirfries, mills grain, and does so much more. Many people are replacing their food processors and mixers with it. Ann bought one upon her return from Quebec. She’s using it to make her new Callebaut Chocolate and Grand Marnier products, but found that it does everything she needs for her catering as well. Thermomix was developed 50 years ago by 125 German engineers. It boasts a gearless motor that will never overheat. There’s no stress when using a Thermomix. It has a scale, timer, and exact temperature control (something you can’t get on a stove or oven).
We treat allergies naturally DRINK: I attended a Sapphire Speakeasy recently. Central to the evening was Bombay Sapphire, that beautiful blue bottle of gin. Chef Corbin Tomaszeski (Food Network’s Dinner Party Wars host) and Merlin Griffiths (ambassador for Bombay Sapphire) paired cocktails and appetizers. Given the “speakeasy” theme, they both nodded to the prohibition era when patrons in underground bars were asked to “speak easy” so as to not attract the attention of the law. Yes, gin in the glass and on the plate. Chef Corbin said to read the ingredients on the bottle and use one of those when pairing food. The use of cilantro enhances the coriander botanicals infused into Bombay Sapphire gin in the following pairings. See Recipes, p. 16

Gentleman’s Vibe wowed the crowd at Gateway by Krista Ashford Contributor While last week’s RichCity Idol showcased Richmond’s high school talent, for many audience members it was Richmond-based hip-hop duo Gentleman’s Vibe who stole the show. Audience members rushed the stage as Neal Zabala and Justin Villarosa rocked their original beats in the May 31 event at Gateway Theatre.. “I felt like Justin Bieber,� laughs Villarosa. Gentleman’s Vibe sat down with The Richmond Review at the Young Prophecy Enterprises recording studio to discuss their music, their aspirations and how they balance being 18 years old and up-and-coming hip hop artists. “Hip-hop was a way of doing something different instead of doing what
teens usually do—I was trying to stay out of trouble and also, express myself through the songs,� says Zabala. Zabala and Villarosa met in a hip-hop group a few years ago. “When we parted ways with our old group, we were solo artists for a little bit,� says Villarosa. Despite working separately, the two would still call one another to work on collaborations. “We figured that instead of just doing collaborations with each other maybe it was a good idea to start a group, that’s when we started brainstorming names,� explains Zabala. They were signed to Young Prophecy Enterprises in 2010 after manager Lee Asher, heard their self-released EP featuring “One Shot,� “Falling Down� and “Notice It All.� Gentleman’s Vibe has already built a strong fan base in the Vancouver area and their YouTube and Facebook followers are growing steadily.

A Gateway Theatre fundraising event is promising each guest will take home a piece of local artwork valued at over $300. The Gateway Theatre Cocktail Party is set for Thursday, June 23 from 6 to 9 p.m. and features 100 pieces of artwork donated by local artists. “We wanted to create an experience that would showcase more of the arts—not just performing arts. We felt an event like this would appeal to many and create a
collaborative community of artists helping artists,” said Debbie Tobin, a member of the Gateway board. A champagne reception kicks off the evening, and tickets will be drawn 10 at a time until each guest has chosen a piece of art to take home. Throughout the event, guests will be treated to tapas and desserts, along with a wine tasting and martini bar. Only 100 tickets available at $350 per couple.

arts & entertainment Gentleman’s Vibe raps about the real world From Page 14 Zabala and Villarosa remain humble. They are young men with passion and love for music. They are influenced by the styles of Bruno Mars, J. Cole, XV and Wiz Khalifa but Gentleman’s Vibe strives to keep their songs fresh and original. “We rap about real stuff, what we’ve gone through in life,� explains Zabala. “We don’t want to stay within the stereotypes of hip hop. When we first started, people actually made fun of us saying, ‘You’re so gangster’ and we were like, ‘No we’re not. We don’t rap about the hood.’� Villarosa laughs. “We want to be different,� finishes Zabala. The duo are certainly in sync. They bounce musical ideas back and forth like they bounce answers between them, they’re perfectly fluid on stage and in the interview. “I think one way and he thinks another but then we combine,� says Zabala. “And it becomes crazy good in the end,� Villarosa finishes.

Despite busy lives recording, performing and attending classes, the two never lose their energy and their audience can feel it too. “It gets better and better,� Villarosa says about live performances. Gentleman’s Vibe is currently working on an EP to be released by Young Prophecy Enterprises by the fall. A mix tape is available online, featuring Gentleman’s Vibe covers of popular songs like the Jamie Foxx and Drake collaboration, “Fall For Your Type.� “It’s something to give back to our fans while we’re working on original stuff.

Attitude aiming for a third straight provincial fastpitch championships by Don Fennell Sports Editor Richmond Attitude 96 showed Sunday the kind of moxie they’ll likely need again in their quest for a third trip to the provincial championships in July. Though they enjoyed a 3-0 lead going into the seventh inning against North Delta Demons in the final of a girls’ fastpitch tournament in Tsawassen last weekend, the Attitude ultimately needed some extra-inning heroics which they got by scoring five times in the eighth to earn a 8-3 victory. The win avenged an earlier round-robin loss to
North Delta. It’s precisely that kind of determination coach Terry Polquin hopes will help the Attitude realize their goal of playing in the B.C. final July 10 in Chilliwack. “The girls have, for some reason, always seem to have been able to step up to the level of competition they’re playing,” said Polquin. “And they keep getting better.” In their first season at the Bantam Division, the Attitude will this weekend be trying to win the District 6 title at London Park. They played in two B.C. championships as Peewees, including last season when they finished third.

Coaching legend inspires skaters at three-day seminar Manon Perron offers advice, encouragement at on-ice sessions by Don Fennell Sports Editor One of the most influential coaches in Canadian figure skating hosted a three-day seminar in Richmond last week. Manon Perron of St. Leonard, Que., who over a 30-year coaching career is probably best known as Olympic bronze medallist Joannie Rochette’s coach, held exclusive on-ice sessions with Connaught skaters at the Richmond Ice Centre. Perron worked closely with Connaught director of skating Keegan Murphy, who is a longtime friend along with Murphy’s mom Eileen. “I got in touch with (Perron) months ago to ask if she would agree to share her passion and experience with our skaters and coaches,” said Murphy, who as a teen often travelled with his mom and Perron to international competitions across Europe. In recent years, Perron has become a supportive mentor and role model as Murphy begins his competitive coaching career.
Don Fennell photo Manon Perron held three days of skating sessions last week in Richmond.
“Her vision is of longterm development,” said Murphy, a national level technical specialist. “She is an advocate of supporting her athletes through the ups and downs in order for them to reach their maximum potential. Whether that is reached at age 13 or 22, she is relentless in her support. This has brought me more inspiration to
stay true to this longterm development and continue being a pillar to all my skaters.” Murphy said Perron’s emphasis on work ethic was the single biggest lesson she provided during the lessons. She stressed that a skater can have all the talent, but without work ethic their potential will never be reached. “Fortunately this is right in line with our current standards at Connaught,” he said. One of Perron’s current students, Ian Martinez (ranked seventh in Canada), was on hand to help participate in the lessons. Murphy said his presence helped the skaters to visually see the correction or exercise they were being asked to execute. “Ian was also so wonderful in interacting with the skaters and was a great help on and off the ice,” he said. “He is an extremely accomplished athlete and definitely has the potential to make an excellent coach one day.” Murphy said having a seminar at this time of year is a great benefit for the skaters.

sports Seminar injected ‘burst of energy’ in figure skaters, says head coach From Page 21
“June can often be difficult for figure skaters as the season is winding down and academic pressures are building with exams and report cards,” Murphy said. “This seminar has injected a burst of energy and motivation in our athletes that has exceeded our expectations, preparing them
for an intense summer season of training. Manon’s energy, passion and expertise was just what the club needed to push its development forward.” •More than 50 Connaught skaters participated in the recent Victoria Day Interclub competition. Results are online at richmondreview.com.

Sprint ace Davis scratches after winning 100m sprint Misses opportunity to sweep B.C. high school championship sprint events for a third straight year by Don Fennell Sports Editor A hamstring injury suffered early in the season continues to nag Shai-Anne Davis, and stood in the way of a third straight sweep of the girls’ sprint events at the B.C. High School Track and Field Championships last weekend at Swangard Stadium. After winning the 100 metres in 12.20 seconds, and then placing third (25.33 seconds) in the 200-metre preliminaries, Davis, a Grade 12 student at Matthew McNair Secondary, decided to opt out of the 200-metre finals after feeling some restriction in her hamstring. “I didn’t want to risk greater injury,” she said, noting junior and senior nationals are coming up at end of the month. “I of course would have liked to do better, but with my condition I was quite happy with the end results.

Injuries play huge on an athlete’s mind, but with my family and coach’s support they made sure I stayed calm and focused throughout the meet.” Davis hopes to better her personal bests at both 100 (11.68 seconds established last summer at the Edmonton International Track Classic) and 200 metres (24.01 seconds at the 2010 B.C. high school championships) at nationals. But her biggest focus is on qualifying for the Pan Am junior championships in Miramar, Fla. July 22-24. In mid-August, Davis will be moving to Toronto to train with Elite Edge at the national training centre, working alongside some coaches from Athletics Canada. “I won’t be going to school right away as I want to get settled in fully first, but it looks like I’ll be going to York University either in the new year of next September,” she said.

SMIRFITT, Shelley Rae (nee Gentner)
JACOBSON, Helen Rosemary (nee Williams)
May 7, 1923 - May 29, 2011 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother Helen Rosemary Jacobson on May 29 in Richmond, B.C. following a courageous battle with cancer. Helen was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Helen was born in England in 1923 and later moved to Canada as a war bride with her son Trevor where she settled in Powell River, B.C. Helen and her first husband Harold Morton had another son Brian in 1947. The family moved extensively across Canada as Harold was in the RCAF. Wherever they went, she always provided a warm and caring home. The family settled in Richmond in 1961. Helen went about making a secure life for her family. She worked many years at Vancouver General Hospital and then at Richmond General Hospital. She was involved with the Hospital Employees Union as she was always concerned with the well being and rights of workers. A trait she had until the end. Helen and Alvin were married in Mississippi in 1997. She was predeceased by her sister Joan and brother Ronald. She is survived be her loving husband Alvin Jacobson, sons Trevor (Sue) and Brian (Dale), brother Len, sister Val, grandchildren Kim (Stan) and Janet (Zeke), great grandchildren Brittany, Nicholas, Jessica, and Devin, step great grandchildren Darcy and Danielle. She also had a wonderful extended family through her marriage to Alvin. A Service and Celebration of Life will be held at the Minoru Seniors Centre, 7660 Minoru Gate, Richmond, B.C. on Saturday, June 18th, from 3:30pm to 5:30pm.

OF PET THE WEEK
“SEAN” NEEDS A GOOD HOME WITH YOU!
“SEAN”, ID #229075 , 2 YEARS, DSH, NM
Sean is a super loveable young man, who was found abandoned in Vernon BC. He is very loving, affectionate & playful. Sean really warms up to you with gentle handling, rolling onto his back for tummy rubs. This fabulous cat would be happiest in a calm household where he would get lots of attention & love. After being left to fend for himself, this plucky guy deserves a second chance in a loving and consistent home.

> Cork, Canvas and Cuisine at Richmond Centre
$24,000 raised for operating room campaign
A
magical place where pixies dwell was created for the f0urth annual Cork, Canvas and Cuisine event, presented by Richmond Centre, benefiting the Richmond Hospital Foundation last Saturday.
The event, which had 350 guests, raised $24,000 for the foundation’s operating room campaign. “I was very happy,” said Bill Jaffe, chair of the Around Town Richmond HospiAmanda Oye tal Foundation. The overtime win by the Canucks just before the event no doubt put people in a good and generous mood. “All of the reviews that I got from people … they were all thrilled by the evening,” Jaffe said. The guests sampled food and wine, browsed through art, and enjoyed entertainment including a fashion show put on by The Bay and a circus performance at Richmond Centre in an area dressed up to the theme “A Mid Summer Night’s Dream.” One lucky guest won two WestJet tickets. “My concerns were that with the hockey game we wouldn’t have much attendance,” Jaffe said. The cause is one that everyone can relate to though. “The hospital touches everyone at every point in their life,” he said. The foundation’s next event will be a golf tournament featuring a helicopter ball drop on June 23. Amanda Oye covers the social scene for The Review. Reach her at amanda.oye@ telus.net.
