Riot kiss photo taken by ‘instinct’ Richard Lam took photos of couple embracing amid chaos by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

www.cartwheels.ca

Instincts took over for a Richmond photojournalist who snapped a now-famous photo of a couple lying together on the pavement amidst rioters in downtown Vancouver Wednesday. Richard Lam was caught in a raucous late-evening crowd following Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final when riot police made their charge. “You just turn and run because the police didn’t place special preference on media; we were just lumped into one,” he said in an interview. “For me, you just kind of watch your own back and you just go.” He turned around to see a woman lying on a clear stretch of pavement where the crowd just was. “It looked like she was hurt or freaked out. She was kind of run over by the riot police and her boyfriend was there to help calm her down and comfort her.” Lam took photos from approximately 30 metres away. The couple has since been identiﬁed as Alexandra Thomas and Scott Jones, who were watching the game downtown before the riot began. The pair, who were captured kissing in the midst of chaos, have since conﬁrmed the story to media, amid online speculation the photo was staged. “I can’t believe that’s us,” said Thomas in an interview with the Toronto Star. “Then I looked some more and realized that is us. That’s a very revealing picture of us.” The photo has since ran in newspapers around the world. Lam has covered riots before, including the Battle in Seattle in 1999 during World Trade Organization meetings. Lam said Wednesday’s riot, with burning and looting, was more violent. Said Lam: “I have no words to describe it. It was very senseless. I can understand looting, people want things for free, but to burn cars, to burn garbage cans, to beat each other up, I just don’t understand it.”

McRoberts student arrested for Vancouver riot vandalism by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A Richmond teen has been arrested in the aftermath of the post-Stanley Cup riot in downtown Vancouver. The Hugh McRoberts student—whose name we’ve chosen not to publish—was questioned by police for his alleged involvement in the smashing of the windows at a BMO bank branch. He was pulled aside on the last day of school. There’s a photo making the rounds online of a bespectacled skinny young man wearing a Canucks shirt and holding a hockey stick, apparently screaming in front of a row of broken windows. There’s also a video, which seems to show the same man, smashing the windows and passing off the hockey stick to

another person who then also takes a swing at the windows. It didn’t take long for locals to identify the teen, some voicing their disapproval of his actions through his Facebook page. “This guy was arrested at school today,” wrote one Facebook user. “He was showing off that stick with the bear on it at school yesterday,” wrote another. The teen tried to hide his involvement by changing his tune on his Facebook page, something that didn’t go unnoticed by other Facebook users. “Why is everyone smashing Vancouver? It’s giving our city a bad rep,” the arrested teen wrote. “What a joke, you’re giving Vancouver and McRoberts a bad rep,” wrote another Facebook user. “Love the fact he tried to cover his story

and come and say ‘why is everyone smashing Vancouver...’ he knew he was going down,” wrote another. The youth is apparently enrolled in a local cadets program. Richmond RCMP Insp. Janis Gray said local Mounties are assisting the Vancouver Police Department on some follow-up investigations relating to the riot. As well, Richmond RCMP has received information about the riots directly from locals that has prompted local police to investigate. While the Vancouver Police Department would like anyone with information that can lead to the identiﬁcation of rioters to contact them directly, people are also invited to leave anonymous tips through CrimeStoppers. The Richmond Review is not naming the suspect as he is not an adult.

Riot captured by Review photographer Instead of running for cover, rioters posed for photos when faced with the camera lens

by Don Fennell Sports Editor

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Seung-Chul Baik left his downtown Vancouver apartment Wednesday night with a minute left in the hockey game. He stepped onto the pavement at Cambie and Robson streets to see about five police officers running toward a crowd. Baik, a 24-yearold intern photographer with The Richmond Review, followed. Then he saw a car on fire. The streets had begun to descend into chaos. Outside the Canada Post building at Georgia and Hamilton streets, a pickup truck and car were both overturned and set on fire by rioters as a crowd of onlookers cheered. “Police couldn’t control them,” said Baik. “There was a lot of people, and police, there were just a few of them.” Police stood watch as rioters set fires and smashed cars, windows and street furniture. Onlookers posed for photos in the midst of the chaos. The crowd was chanting “F--- Boston,” and “F--- the police.” “It started to get more violent, some were saying something like let’s start a riot.” The police gained some control once the riot police moved in, but couldn’t quell the riot until late into the evening. Violence began with a crowd watching the Vancouver Canucks lose to the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final on a big screen set up on a downtown street. Bottles and cans were hurled at the screen. Around the city, reports suggested at least a dozen vehicles were set on fire or badly damaged, including two police cars. Baik was documenting the violence with his camera, briefly leav-

ing the scene to process photos in his apartment before returning and staying on the streets until midnight, when rioters could no longer be seen. Instead of people in the crowds running away from his camera lens, Baik found bold fans and rioters posing for him. But Baik didn’t ﬁnish the evening unscathed. He was hit in the head with a bottle, a ﬂash bang popped right next to him and he was enveloped by a cloud of tear gas. Baik wondered if the police were

prepared for the game’s aftermath, considering similar riots broke out after the Canucks lost in the ﬁnal round in 1994. “I don’t know if they were prepared or not, but police came late,” he said. “If they had prepared and had cops on the scene at ﬁrst, it might not have gotten that big.” Baik, a native of Korea, has seen plenty of demonstrations and protests in his country—especially during the 2002 World Cup of soccer—but nothing like this. He said Korean police respond to pro-

tests with thousands of ofﬁcers and riot police—boosted by the ranks of the military. Collin Neal, a sales representative at the Review, attended the game at Rogers Arena. “Right when we left the building and crossed Georgia, we looked past the CBC building and saw smoke,” he said. “It was a little chaotic.” Neal left downtown via a water taxi to Granville Island, and said acrid smoke still ﬁlled the air late into the evening.

Reporter comes face-to-face with rioters People who had no intention of rioting, joined in, says Rob Brown by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter The morning after rioters threw downtown Vancouver into chaos, Rob Brown saw a glimmer of hope. The CTV News reporter and Steveston resident was on the ground covering the events of Wednesday night for a live TV audience, witnessing rioters taunting police, looting stores and jumping on burning cars.

Brown said the events that followed Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final at Rogers Arena didn’t offer any positives for the city. But on Thursday morning, with plywood covering broken shop windows, Brown saw lines of people armed with felt markers and pens, writing messages about how sorry they are and that what happened isn’t what Vancouver is about. “To see that visual representation of it and people going to those lines in tears—that offers some hope. But it’s hard to have any after ‘94 and it happens again,” he said in an interview with the Review. Once Brown managed to assemble a full crew, he was on air shortly after the riots ensued. During the melee, someone threw an identiﬁed object at Brown, narrowly missing him and breaking his cameraman’s nose instead.

“That’s scary, but I wasn’t truly fearful for my safety. I was really worried about the people we were shooting and the things that were happening to people around us for sure,” he said. Brown said police began making a concerted effort to close in a group of rioters around 10:30 p.m. by immediately taking out and arresting anyone who caused a disturbance. By midnight, the violence had concluded. What surprised him was the mob mentality that developed among the thousands of people gathered downtown. Some fans were there to simply watch the game, but ended up joining rioters—or were at least entertained by them. “All of a sudden they’re smashing things, all of a sudden they’re jumping on a burning car and falling into the ﬂames and thinking it’s funny.”

The Boston Bruins and Vancouver Canucks aren’t the only ones who need a rest. So do the NHL officials who worked the Stanley Cup final. “In adding up the air miles in this round alone I think I travelled 16,000 miles in the last two weeks,” said Kelly Sutherland, one of four referees selected to work the championship series. “That’s one of the most tiring parts of the series, (which went the full seven games). “Then of course there’s the mental drain from the intensity. It’s an honour to work the final, but I’m looking forward to spending some time with my family which I haven’t seen much in the last nineand-a-half months.” The 2011 Stanley Cup final was the second consecutive Sutherland, who hails from Richmond, has had the honour of offici- KELLY SUTHERLAND ating. “It was great to be part of it again, and to share (the experience) with the seven other on-ice officials and the whole off-ice department,” he said. “They’re just a great group of people.” Sutherland, 40, said for an official it is no less an honour to work the final than it is for a player to reach the championship series. It’s something you spend your entire career striving for. The Stanley Cup Final also brings with it heightened interest and scrutiny. But Sutherland said the officials, like the players, are so focused on the job at hand they don’t notice or hear any of the outside forces—such as the fans. “You know it’s loud but you hear the fans like white noise,” he said. Sutherland credits many people for his ascent in hockey—from family to mentors such as former NHL referees Bill McCreary, Kerry Fraser, Dan Marouelli and Rob Shick. “When I got to the NHL (his first NHL game was Dec. 19, 2000 in Los Angeles) there were so many good guys on staff. I tried to take the best from each of them and improve that way,” Sutherland said. “It’s gone so fast. I’ve known Dan O’Halloran, Dan O’Rourke and Stephen Walkom (who also refereed this year’s Stanley Cup Final) for so long, but we’re still pretty young at heart.” Sutherland’s offseason will be a short one. The 2011-12 NHL pre-season is less than three months away, and while he’s hoping to squeeze in a short holiday this summer, he’s already planning to be back in the gym Monday. “We’re usually training all year, trying to keep our cardio levels up, but it’s hard with the schedule” he said. “Probably 60 to 70 per cent of the intensity workouts, we do in the off-season. You need to stay lean and strong, and you want to be quick.”

HST referendum underway in B.C. What do you think about residences in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR)? Ministry of Agriculture Survey The Ministry of Agriculture has launched an online survey with regard to its draft discussion paper, “Bylaw Standard for Residential Uses in the Agricultural Land Reserve.” The survey seeks the opinions of British Columbians until July 14, 2011 on: • Whether size and location limits should be applied to residences and their amenities in the ALR. • The process in which the standards could be introduced. • Feedback on the draft discussion paper. The survey can be accessed on the Ministry of Agriculture’s website at www.gov.bc.ca/agri, under the special section, “ALR Residential Guidelines Survey.” It can also be accessed directly at www.agf.gov.bc.ca/resmgmt/sf/residential_uses_in_ ALR_consultation/index.htm. This survey was written and is being led by the Province of BC’s Ministry of Agriculture. All online survey comments should be directed to the Ministry of Agriculture (not the City of Richmond). For more information on the survey, please visit www.newsroom.gov.bc.ca/2011/05/ public-comment-requested-on-residences-in-the-alr.html.

Good for trade, or bad for families? by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Voters are being asked to say yes to say no—and no to say yes—to B.C.’s harmonized sales tax in a referendum by mail that began this week. On Tuesday, Premier Christy Clark sought to clarify the referendum question at a media event staged at Bill Zylmans’ East Richmond farm, in advance of ballots being mailed to Lower Mainland residents next week. “It is confusing. There’s no question. For lots of second-language learners the term extinguish is a tough concept,” said Linda Reid, MLA for Richmond East. “For 10 per cent (the HST rate the Liberals have promised by mid-2014), you have to vote no. It’s a bit counter-intuitive.” With labour disruption at Canada Post, voters may be considering the question later than expected. It asks voters if they want to extinguish the HST—meaning those who reject the tax must vote “Yes,” and those who want to keep it must vote “No.” Reid called the HST “Canada’s tax” that will simplify the tax system for foreign investors by not having to deal with a different tax jurisdiction in each province and territory. The HST, she said, will simplify how people do

business in B.C. “This is something that the federal government wanted, which is why they’re providing transition dollars to transition the provinces to a single tax for Canada. That still makes sense for British Columbia because we’re a small trading economy. We would not survive without trade,” she said. The provincial government has pledged to reduce the HST to 10 per cent by July 2014 and offer transition payments to offset consumer costs for parents and seniors earning less than $40,000 a year. Each child under 18 or low-income senior would receive one-time payments of $175 if the HST survives the referendum. Businesses that have to charge customers an extra seven per cent tax on services—restaurants, consultants— and previously exempt items—bicycles, concert tickets—have struggled with the tax. Balwant Sanghera, an East Richmond community activist and former NDP candidate is against the tax, and will be voting “yes” to extinguish the HST. He said the Liberals approved the tax without informing the public. Under the HST, the province will lose its tax system autonomy, as any changes must be approved by Ottawa. “It is a major tax shift from big corporations and businesses to ordinary British Columbians. I don’t think that is fair,” he said. “In the long run, this is not a good tax. I think it’s hitting the families very hard.” Despite fears of the tax reducing business in pubs and restaurants, business has been brisk at Legends Pub on Buswell Street as the Vancouver Canucks made their deepest playoff run since 1994. Owner Glenn Jensen said an established clientele after 20 years of business, and offering reasons for customers to come back, has helped his business despite customers facing an extra seven per cent charge on their meals. “Business-wise I think it helps me out at the end of the day, not as much as I would like it to, but we’re established,” he said. But Jensen also offered some caution: “We’ve had a pretty good run ever since the Olympics, but our quiet times are very very quiet now. So that’s an indication of people (wanting to save) money.”

Riot actions not unique to Vancouver Kwantlen expert says riot also exposed the bright side of human psychology by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter The violent riot that erupted Wednesday in Vancouver isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unique to the city, according to a psychology expert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can happen in Vancouver, it can happen in Toronto or Montreal, it can happen anywhere when you have those conditions at play, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because human psychologyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same everywhere,â&#x20AC;? said Farhad Dastur, associate dean of social sciences at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Dastur, who was at Library Square in downtown Vancouver to watch Game 7 and saw the crowds ďŹ rst-hand, said what gave rise to the riot were alcoholfuelled young people who felt a sense of immortality. That was coupled with feelings of questioning authority andâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in a sea of Canucks jerseys and coloursâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a loss

of sense of self. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When people feel they are part of a larger group and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be identiďŹ ed, they will be disinhibited and step beyond the normal moral boundaries that would control their behaviour,â&#x20AC;? he said. Rioters carried out violence despite having cameras trained on themâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;some even bragging of their actions on social media networks. That suggests young people havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t caught up with just how public social media is, said Dastur. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For this new generation whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown up with social media...their sense of privacy is very different than the previous generation who really cared about privacy.â&#x20AC;? The riots are already forming case studies for Dasturâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students, who are studying all angles, including the bright side of human psychology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really gratiďŹ ed to hear...how hundreds, maybe thousands, of people went downtown to volunteer to clean up. People who had no connection to the stores that were damaged were cleaning glass and giving money and contributing their time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me, that is Vancouver. That is our city, our community and our spirit.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Outraged fans aim to ID rioters The hunt is now on to identify the perpetrators of the orgy of destruction and looting in downtown Vancouver in the wake of the Canucks Stanley Cup loss. Metro Vancouverites quickly banded together on social media, vowing to out the offenders, pooling photos and video captured during Wednesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s riot. Many of those responsible made no attempt to hide their faces, sometimes mugging for photos that were widely shared online. The site identifyrioters.com allows users to browse photos and identify rioters and looters by their Facebook name. Photos

and names are sent to the Vancouver Police Department once multiple users have made a positive ID. Also being used is the Vancouver 2011 Riot Criminals List on Tumblr at http:// vancityriotcriminals.tumblr.com. Multiple Facebook pages also urge followers to identify perpetrators from photos shared there. To anonymously upload videos to Vancouver Police, upload them to youtube as private videos and share them with robbery@vpd.ca. For photos, send them to robbery@ vpd.ca.

Richmond’s Nicole Ngai (right) was named National Sea Cadet of the Year.

The 18 year old is also a full time student at the University of B.C. in the commerce program. Ngai has managed to balance school and her cadet duties and finds the commute from the UBC campus to Richmond the most difficult part. “Sometimes my classes end at 5 p.m. so I have to bring my

uniform with me to school and then rush to Richmond,” she says. After the nomination by her commanding officer, Ngai’s application was screened by a board along with hundreds of other applicants across Canada. Ngai was chosen as the nation’s top sea cadet.

“I couldn’t have made it this far without the support of my family and friends. My mom especially,” says Ngai. Ngai has also received an Admiral Yanow Award of Merit in 2008 and the Lord Strathcona Top Staff Cadet at HMCS Quadra Sea Cadet Summer Training Centre. The ceremony will take place in Ontario.

HST at 10% or GST + PST at 12%? If British Columbians vote ‘NO‛ to going back to PST + GST in the referendum, the HST reduction to 10% will be the law. The province‛s official notification to the Government of Canada guarantees the drop in HST by way of a signed federal government order.

Richmond Sea Cadet Nicole Ngai has been honoured as National Sea Cadet of the Year. “I’m still dazed,” says the cadet chief petty officer, second class from “Bicknell” Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps in Richmond. The award is given to a sea cadet who demonstrates outstanding accomplishment in the corps and must first be nominated by their commanding officer. Ngai has been a sea cadet for five years. “My sister was in the cadets and she thought it was great,” says Ngai. She recalls her first day in the corps. “It was like the first day of school,” she remembers. “But then you find one friend and you stick together, you know. Then you find your group.” Ngai says her time in the sea cadets has helped her build relationships with people.

EDITORIAL: A black mark for Vancouver

hile drunk fans went on a rampage in downtown Vancouver Wednesday night, TV commentators were quick to point out there were only a small number of troublemakers and these people weren’t Canucks fans.

Actually the rioters were Canucks fans. The number of active rioters and their cheerleaders was well into the thousands. That is not a small number. While such attempts at downplaying are no doubt meant to make us “real fans” feel better about ourselves, the riot magnified some disturbing elements about Vancouver culture. The latest mantra is that the riot was started by anarchists. Or was it the antichrist? There were clearly premeditated efforts to start fires. Certainly the black masked troublemakers were at work, quick to smash windows and burn vehicles. But so were hundreds of others who know their Edler, but don’t know their Engels. Others like to blame the riot on the bridges and tunnel crowd. Really? Then why didn’t Surrey have a big riot? And there’s plenty of disturbing video. A group of young women are fighting off a gang of drunk males who are attempting to destroy a car. They are surrounded by a group of slack-jawed young males, passively watching. So much for chivalry. In another video, a man is attempting to defend The Bay from being vandalized. He gets beaten up for his troubles. Fortunately, a few people jump in to defend him, but most stand and watch. What is it about Vancouver’s youth subculture that would see thousands of young adults go on a rampage? Certainly there are some social issues to ponder: Vancouver’s ridiculously expensive housing, lack of good-paying jobs for youth,

Seung-Chul Baik photo Rioters wreak havoc in downtown Vancouver.

bad parenting. But the biggest factors were alcohol and lack of accountability. Vancouver has a drinking problem. It’s not a new thing and it’s not just a downtown phenomenon. Summer festivals from White Rock to Okanagan were cancelled due to riotous drunks. And that was in the 1980s. Things haven’t changed much. Were it not for a massive police presence, The Celebration of Light fireworks would no doubt descend into a riot. Huge crowds of drunken youth are volatile. And then there’s the lack of accountability. Rioters had no fear of police and no fear of consequences, even as they were being

filmed. While many have been arrested, they may never be punished. B.C. has a chronic shortage of court space. Current trials are being delayed; how will the system handle an influx of rioters? Unless there’s a sheriff hiring spree, not very well. However, there is a new sheriff in town and it’s called social media. Some of the worst perpetrators are being publicly shamed. One positive and this also involves social media: a group of concerned citizens horrified by what happened gathered in downtown Vancouver the day after to assist in clean-up efforts. All is not hopeless in Riot City.

s I write this, I am surrounded by high school students studying for their final exams. As a parent, I like to believe I have a fair amount of influence on how my children turnout but even I can’t ignore the amazing impact that a dedicated teacher has on a student’s life. And, although we thank our teachers with cards, and gift certificates, we often forget, as we move on with our lives, to return to our teachers and let them know how much

they helped us. In high school, I had three teachers who made a big impression on me. Just the name of my Grade 12 English teacher, Mr. Hodgins, used to invoke fear in the student body. He was a stickler for grammar and was unforgiving of dangling participles or comma splices. A run on sentence would bring out his infamous red marking pen. As much as I hated being forced to write 500-word essays in 45 minutes, his class certainly prepared me well for life. And although I still make many grammatical mistakes, I use those lessons for everything from press releases to Facebook posts. Apart from English, I also enjoyed other languages, particularly French. My Grade 11 and 12 teacher, Mr. McCallum. He was able to elevate the dryness of verb conjugation and made

French a fun class. Last, but not least, I have much to thank Mr. Gresko, my Biology 11 and 12 teacher. Not only was Mr. Gresko one of the quirkiest teachers I’d ever met, insisting that lab results be handed in dirty with coffee rings (to mimic true lab work), he probably played on of the most crucial roles in my choice of career. After hearing how I wanted to pursue botany but also work in Third World development, he suggested I “try agriculture” instead. I had never even considered agriculture as a subject for university but he certainly planted the idea. If it hadn’t been for his remark, I’m sure I would be stuck in a lab somewhere, probably pumping out genetically modified plants (shudder the thought). I’m not sure if any of my teachers realized what an impact they made on my future but I’m embar-

rassed to say, I never really thanked them for their role. Shortly after graduating high school, I heard that both Mr. Hodgins and Mr. McCallum passed away. They’ll never know how easy it was for me to write essays in university or how I was able to pick up two other languages in my later career. So, if you do have a chance to personally thank a teacher that meant a lot to you, now’s the time to do it, before they disappear for the summer. I can assure you, a personal visit from you will mean more than cards, flowers, or chocolates. So, before I forget yet again, a huge THANK YOU to Mr. Gresko, who I know is enjoying his retirement in Richmond. Arzeena Hamir is co-ordinator of the Richmond Food Security Society.

As a parent, I like to believe I have a fair amount of inﬂuence on how my children turnout but even I can’t ignore the amazing impact that a dedicated teacher has on a student’s life.

Better Grades Happier Kids

Lots to target besides wood smoke Editor: Mr. McCrossan writes that woodsmoke is one of the main contributors to Metro Vancouver’s poor air quality, and therefore, lung disease (“Demand clean air,” Letters, June 18). I agree that, “Our children and the children of the world have the right to enjoy what you and I have enjoyed in our lifetime and what the human race has enjoyed...” namely, clean air. Surely, though, the human race has also always enjoyed a wood fire. Before we target people inside their own homes, let’s first: •outlaw all Metro Vancouver’s noxious-fumed, dieselengine transit buses; •legislate a blanket one-gasoline-vehicle-per-household limit in all major population areas, and at least one, strictly-enforced, car-free day per month; •reroute all YVR aircraft take-offs and landings to occur over ocean only, thereby reducing (one would hope) the nasty film, presumably jet-fuel residue from ever-increasing overhead traffic, that settles on the surface of my family’s backyard rain barrels and, presumably, in our lungs; •ban all trucks in residential areas, including the noisy, stench and debris-spewing, garbage and recycling mon-

community OCP proposals should be of concern to residents

lm o n F e s ti v al

Editor: Edgemere and Richmond Gardens neighbours, l urge you to learn about the potential changes the city is considering for your neighborhoods in the new Official Community Plan. The proposal is for homes in your area to be allowed to have granny flats and/ or coach houses. Think about it, this will potentially change your neighborhoods . I worry that every residential lot in your area could become a fourplex if the home already has a basement suite. Construction of a granny flat and a coach house along with the original house and a basement suite would now allow for four families to live on one lot originally planned for one family. If this zoning goes through this is a developers dream. Houses will get bought up and redeveloped to their full poten-

tial because it would be very profitable. You may want this because you’re planning to move and you don’t care about crowded schools, traffic, densification, lack of infastructure or other problems that could be encountered if this zoning change is approved. It is your choice and if you do not voice your opinion then you must be prepared to accept the major changes on the horizon. The city has advertised two open houses and you can fill out a survey at www.letstalkRichmond.ca. The future of your neighborhood depends on it. Open houses will be held June 20 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Brighouse School for Richmond Gardens and June 21 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Thomas Kidd School for the Edgemere neighbourhood. Carol Day Richmond

before school ﬁnished for summer. June still ignites the anticipation of those red (all the way through) sweet gems. Darlene had toured several farms last week and said the strawberries are there, but they are green. Some are still blossoms. There are a few red berries, but even that particular variety, pampered in a California style, still needed a few more days of sun. I called Susanna Buerger of J.S. Nature Farm on McKenzie Road (just off Steveston Hwy) and ask how her strawberries were doing. “Don’t expect anything before June 26,” she said. She said that one of her varieties has thin stalks

and small blossoms. She doesn’t expect they will size up much. “We have always had strawberries by Father’s Day,” Susanna told me. “At least always enough for shortcake.” Not this year. Strawberries have a long way to go. Even if one side of the berry is red, Susanna said she’ll have to turn the berry to see if the other side is red too. When Susanna told a friend that she should just quit farming (as she threatens each year), the friend said she may be surprised by the end of the season—it might be very good. We’ll just have to pick and see. •See recipes, next page

The Richmond businesses treated Inez, 18, to a day-long makeoverâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just in time for the summer season. The whole makeover lasted a single day, with a morning trip to Goegan Spa for a facial and makeup. Around noon, Inez was given the full hair treatment by Sukiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. In the afternoon, Inez was on to Hipe for a new outfit sure to be a hit this summer. The results were dramatic. Candice Goegan is owner of Goegan Spa, 135-6231 London Rd. After providing Inez

with a thorough skin analysis, Goegan and her team customized a facial using Guinot skin care to suit her skin type and meet her personal beauty goals.

â&#x20AC;˘ Candice Goegan of Goegan Spa says SPF (Sun Protection Factor) measures time to burn, however, re-application is vital every two hours as the skinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural chemistry will begin to break down the protection. Therefore when used correctly a sunscreen with an SPF 30 is sufficient for all skin types, even those sensitive to the sun. There is no need to add unnecessary additional chemicals to your skin. â&#x20AC;˘ According to James Valiant of Sukiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Salon, a number of trends have emerged for summer haircuts: Bob, Fringe, Layers

and Crop. Bob is a classic look featuring strong graphic outlines incorporating curves and sharp lines. Fringe cuts can be seen on top runway models, adding elegance and making a bold statement. A cut with Layers is a natural look easy to create with layers of free-moving hair. The Crop offers short lengths that add textures and bounce to a look. â&#x20AC;˘ To accessorize your look on a sunny day, wear more combinations of fashionable pieces to show off your mood. Go with big-framed sunglasses, big drape earrings, hair bands, hats or even temporary tattoos.

He added histicated bangs that frame her face and bring out a set of beautiful eyes and structured cheekbone.

Added next to the mix was a silver belt, creating a splash of unexaggerated detail while keeping her style chic. A Pandora necklace and bracelet from Bliss gave her outfit an even more extravagant look.

On her feet: sandals. Chosen were timeless black sandals with golden rings— perfect for a shopping trip, dinner dates and evening cocktail parties. The finishing touch was a gold bag that sharpened and completed the look. If you would like to recieve a fashion makeover, please email your contact infomation to stylerx@live.ca.

Q: Can my IT person check for evidence? A:

The answer would be no. This question relates to a computer being used by one or more individuals who are suspected of doing something of questionable legality. In the course of the investigation, most often by a regular IT person, the evidence is often made unusable and inadmissible as they know little about the proper collection of evidence. This, unfortunately, happens all the time and there is little we can do after the fact. If a computer needs to be looked at it shouldn’t be turned on, or if it is already on then turn it off and leave it untouched. If a network is exploited by malware we can often find out who and how if we are brought in soon enough. Involving internal IT staff is often not a good idea for other reasons, they may know and warn the person of interest or the hacker - or even be involved in some fashion. If in doubt about a situation call us right away.

The constant gripping of the tennis racquet causes a repetitive use of the forearm flexor muscles, or the muscles sitting on top of the forearm. The forearm flexor muscle group is used to bend the back of the wrist up (extension) and also allows for some bending of the elbow (flexion). All those muscles converge and attach to the same point on your elbow on the outside or lateral portion of the elbow. With repetitive overuse, the flexor muscle group can become tight and shorten, pulling on the bone of where they attach on the elbow. The end result is a lot of pain whenever you grip your tennis racquet, a condition more commonly referred to as “tennis elbow”. If there is pain radiating down to the hand, like a “pins and needles” sensation, it is also possible that those tight muscles might be compressing on the nerves as well. An Athletic Therapist at Evolution Sport Therapy would be able to determine which structures of the arm are causing the discomfort, and from then on an Active Release Technique would be used to alleviate the pain.

You’ve done a tremendous job so far and it seems like you now require a higher level of intensity to achieve your new goal. Walking and jogging are great forms of aerobic exercise that help to burn fat. However, adding some strength training and anaerobic exercise (short bursts of high intensity intervals with small rest breaks in between) to your routine can help build lean muscle and burn fat simultaneously. This will help boost your metabolism and improve your muscle tone. Try incorporating strength and interval training into your exercise routine 2-3 times per week in addition to your walking and jogging to break through your plateau and reach your new goal.

If a house has a water meter and is not saving money, it is commonly because there is a leak somewhere in the house (usually a running toilet). Once leaks are repaired, the water meter bill will always decrease. This is why the City developed the “First Year Guarantee”. It states that if you pay more than the annual flat rate for water and sewer (after your first four quarterly bills) the City will credit the difference onto your account. This gives residents a chance to fix their leaks without being penalized. The program is designed to save residents money, and on average, families are saving over $500 each year. That said, there is always a chance that you might pay more. Those who do pay more on this program most likely have a leak in their home. If all leaks are repaired and there are 5 people or less living in your home, you should have nothing to worry about – even if you have swimming pools or large gardens.

Having high blood sugar readings when you test your blood sugars is not uncommon but it all depends on when you test. For example, you are much more likely to have a high blood glucose reading above 7.0 mmol/L after a meal rather than before a meal.

Craig Pangindian CAT(C), Bsc. Kin.

Q: Over the last year, I’ve lost close to 50lbs from simply walking and jogging a few times

Q: I have type 2 diabetes. How often should I

I find that many people with diabetes test their blood sugars randomly, sometimes at night, sometimes in the morning, but not with much consistency. This makes it very difficult for doctors and pharmacists to help you achieve your blood sugar goal. I often recommend testing before breakfast and 2 hours after breakfast on one day, then before dinner and 2 hours after dinner on the next. Depending on when your blood sugars are high, we actually recommend different treatments. So test consistently for 2 weeks and bring in your results to your doctor or pharmacist for some recommendations on feasible next steps!

We recently had inexpensive catalogues arrive. The stamp catalogue prices stamps from 1851-2011 for all of Canada and also covers the provinces which had stamps. It is coil bound and retails for only $9.95. The coin catalogue is only $3.95. It is also coil bound and covers all Canadian coins and bank notes from 1858-2010. The 10th anniversary of the Euro is almost upon us and most of the old individual countries’ issues of coins and bank notes will become demonetized. If you plan on selling them, make sure they come in before the end of the year. Note: Many customers have been mentioning that when they are offering scrap gold to the new scrap gold store that the offers are only 60% of what they get when they sell to us. It pays to check our buying prices.

Ask the Experts Q: A:

Q: What do I ask a home inspector? A:

How can chiropractors help to promote health?

First we should look at what the definition of health is, and according to Dorland’s Medical Dictionary, “health is a state of optimal physical, mental., and social well being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” We can not base our health on the absence of symptoms alone. For example, disease processes can be ongoing in the body without symptoms, we can see this with tooth decay, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, etc. A more constructive thought presented by Hanse Selye was “the ability of your body to accurately interpret and appropriately adapt to lifestyle stresses” is what determines our level of health. The spine and nervous system are what control your body’s ability to interpret and respond to its surroundings. As chiropractors our job is to reduce or eliminate interference to the nervous system by detecting and correcting spinal subluxations, misalignments in the spine. Subluxations may be present without symptoms such as pain, muscle tension, numbness or tingling being expressed. However, there is still nerve compression or irritation affecting the nerves wherever they travel; muscles, ligaments, or organ systems. The affected regions will not be functioning at their optimum. Chiropractors remove interference to the nervous system by providing adjustments to correct subluxations. When we do this, the body is in a better position to express its optimal health and adapt to its environment. We often treat our teeth better than our spines by getting regular dental check-ups, yet it is our spine which houses our nervous system that controls our entire body. We need to make getting our spines checked for proper function a part of our lifelong journey towards better health regardless of our expression of symptoms.

If you are considering a home inspection don’t be afraid to ask questions while the inspector is going throughout your house; after all, it is your house! Ask questions like:

Another strategy is to reduce taxes by prioritizing your investment accounts. From a tax perspective, it generally makes sense to maximize your RRSP/ RRIF first, then your TFSA, and finally your non-registered account. (Ideally, of course, you’re able to maximize all of them.) There are exceptions to this general rule.

Q: Should I get my dentistry done in Mexico (India, China, and Russia etc. You pick) to save money? A:

Probably not. For sure you can have dental work done there (or other third world foreign destinations) and save money, however, very often you are not getting the same result you will get here at home. There are a couple of basic reasons for this. First is the level of training Canadian and US dentists have. It is arguably the very best on the planet, and it’s not very easy here to become a dentist. It can be really challenging to qualify and get into dental school and just as hard to graduate out the other end. This is not necessarily the case elsewhere. Secondly, the availability of materials, procedure and good dental laboratory technicians may not be the same. Part of my involvement with students at UBC is with the international students at the dental school. To qualify to practice in Canada, foreign trained dentists must enroll in our accredited Canadian dental schools and complete two years of training to be eligible to practice. Many of these students have been practicing in their home countries for many years. I can tell you that some have had a solid training foundation while many do not. I am often surprised at what they don’t know. This is especially so regarding more complex restorative procedures and implants. A third reason to be wary is for follow up. If you have a problem or failure after you’re home guess who has to step in and help you? While some foreign dental work I have seen is acceptable, much of it is not. It depends who you see and what their training and experience is. Always get a referral and a recommendation from a trusted source about your choice of dentist and their work if you are planning to explore this as an option for your health. But always remember: you can pay now or you can pay later.

Enjoy your smile.... Everybody else does!

How long will it be before I have to replace this? If I do have to replace it, what will that cost me? Can it be repaired or is replacement the only option? Should I be considering energy efﬁcient products? Are there any government rebates?

These are all valid questions that an inspector (be it a home inspector or speciﬁcally a plumbing inspection) should be able to provide you information with, and no matter the answer they give you, it’s always beneﬁcial to further research it yourself to ensure the best quality service and effort!

Q: When is my home ‘really SOLD’ ?? A:

Little tax planning can make a big difference to after-tax investment returns and income ~ Part 2.

Another example is if you think you may leave behind a very large RRSP/ RRIF balance, due to your life expectancy. While RRSP/RRIF balances transfer to your spouse tax free, they are fully taxed as regular income on your (or your spouse’s) final tax return when transferring to another beneficiary. If you are in this situation, it may be better to accumulate and leave more assets in your non-registered account, as certain non-registered assets can transfer to your estate more tax efficiently than registered assets (which are fully taxable).

For example, say you expect more income during retirement than before retirement. In this situation, it can make sense to emphasize your TFSA first, then your RRSP. That’s because you may save more tax on tax-free TFSA withdrawals during retirement (when your tax rate is higher) than on RRSP contribution tax deductions before retirement (when your tax rate is lower). However, it’s important to bear in mind that this situation is relatively uncommon. In addition, your TFSA alone is unlikely to provide sufficient retirement income, due to the smaller contribution limits. The best strategy is to maximize both your TFSA and RRSP.

Honest answer is….. Your home is really SOLD when the money is in your bank account. RARELY, there are occasions where a deal does collapse after subjects are removed. Potential reasons are: one of the Buyers dies; or perhaps the bank refuses to advance the funds because the Buyer loses their job or something changes with their financial situation (yes, it does happen); or your home might be substantially damaged after subject removal due to fire or water damage; or the Buyer chooses to forfeit their deposit and attempts to collapse the deal. Reality is…… It is RARE for a deal to collapse after the subjects are removed and the deposit is in place, but, as a Seller, you and your Realtor must do all of the necessary things to ensure your deal completes as planned. A reasonable deposit by way of a bank draft is suggested, a 5% minimum is our RE/MAX Westcoast policy, but that may vary with agencies. The contract must be strong, written properly to the standards of the Real Estate Board and the Real Estate Council, and must be fully signed and initialed by all parties to the contract (every change must be fully initialled). Inclusions and exclusions to the agreement (appliances, repairs to be done, oil tanks, alarm systems etc) must be clearly outlined within the Contract. The Sellers Disclosure Form should be fully filled out to the best of the Sellers knowledge, and accepted and signed by the Buyer. Every Seller has the option to seek legal advice prior to signing any contract, and that can be written into your agreement. Reality is…… When you have an accepted offer on your property that has any Buyer or Seller subjects at all (like inspection or financing) , your home is NOT SOLD! You are wise to continue to allow your Realtor access to show your property until the subjects are removed, the deal is firm, and the deposit is in place as per the terms of the contract. I prefer to have a back-up offer in place whenever possible so that if the 1st offer does not remove their conditions, we have a second Buyer committed on paper. Our job is to sell your home for terms that are agreeable to you. Showings and marketing should continue until your deal is done, which means accepted – signed – all conditions removed – deposit in place – and copies are delivered to all parties to the Contract of Purchase and Sale. From that point, your lawyer or notary will continue the process to ensure your deal is a happy one that completes as planned.

Ethan Cox has a wellearned reputation as a reliable hockey player, one that can be counted on shift in and shift out. By good fortune, the 23-year-old from Richmond found himself playing this season for a team that, while diverse in personality, shared a common belief in hard work. As a result, Cox and the Alaska Aces enjoyed a dream season capped by an ECHL championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Accountability was the key to a lot of our success this year,â&#x20AC;? said Cox. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team was unlike anything I had ever heard of or been a part of. We had a very diverse group of guys, but in saying that our team was built on respect. Every player had a role and was expected to get the job done every night.â&#x20AC;? Cox found his way to the Aces through an assistant coach at Colgate University, where he wound up a stellar college career last season when he was also selected winner of the U.S. Hockey Humanitarian Award. The Aces are affiliated with the NHL St. Louis Blues and AHL Peoria Rivermen. Signed as a free agent by the Aces, Cox also inked a pair of pro tryout contracts during the season with two AHL teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Peoria (for whom he played one game) and the Portland Pirates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not 100 per cent sure what my plans are for next season yet,â&#x20AC;? Cox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really enjoyed my time up in Alaska, but my goal is to move up in hockey as much as possible.â&#x20AC;?

Cox said his first season of pro hockey provided some important lessons, none more so than how to approach each game. To top it off by winning the Kelly Cup in his first season was surreal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very happy with my play in my rookie season, during the playoffs and regular season,â&#x20AC;? said Cox, who had 32 points in 56 regular-season games and three goals in 13 playoff games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It obviously helps that we won the championship, but in analyzing my season I had a lot of help from teammates and coaches in developing the way I played and approached the games. I learned so many different tidbits of information about the game,â&#x20AC;? he said. Cox also proved to be a popular teammate and good-nature prankster. Just ask Gerald Coleman. Coleman, the Acesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; outstanding goaltender who was named the ECHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best this season, was the target of Coxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hijinks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It came about from an old prank I had picked up with my college team,â&#x20AC;? explained Cox. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On any day, you just casually wish him a happy birthday, harmless of course but more or less annoying due to its consistency. Coleman was my roommate so it was only fitting that the small joke go towards him. If we were on a plane or in a restaurant, as a team we would get a waitress or flight attendant to announce it was his birthday. He usually got dessert or free drinks or even moved up to first class. So the joke has its perks.â&#x20AC;?

Anmol Mattu has been a tower of strength for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under-16 Candette womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team.

Mattu and mates reach semiďŹ nals by Don Fennell Sports Editor Anmol Mattu is used to handling pressure. As a diminutive ďŹ ve-foot-three point guard, she has to be. But forced to regularly go head-to-head against often much bigger opponents has only made the Steveston-London basketball star tougher and more determined. Coupled with her own immense skill and leadership, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earned her a role on the Canadian Cadette Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Basketball Team which is competing this week in Merida, Mexico for the FIBA America under-16 championship. Mattu is making the most of the opportunity, helping Canada ďŹ nish ďŹ rst in Group A and earned a semiďŹ nal date with Brazil on Friday. The championship game goes Saturday. Able to help break down the tough press teams are throwing at Canada, which is 3-0, Mattu said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to win as a team and our focus is winning the gold together.â&#x20AC;? In Mexico to watch his daughter play, Rick Mattu said Anmol is averaging 18 to 20 minutes a game and working hard. One Brazilian mother described her as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the commander of the Canadian team.â&#x20AC;?
