Teens step in to save local riot hero Richmond is

light on its feet

Dean Seskin says he had to do something when he saw Robert Mackay being pummelled by rioters

Adult obesity rates lowest in the country

by Martin van den Hemel

Staff Reporter

Two teens are being hailed as heroes after coming to the aid of a local Good Samaritan who tried to fend off a mob of rioters hell-bent on smashing the windows at The Bay during last week’s riot in downtown Vancouver. Richmond’s Dean Seskin, 18, knew he had to do something as he watched a dozen-strong mob rain down punches and kicks onto the body of a hunched-over Robert Mackay, who himself was moved into action by the heroism of another man. Seskin and a man he’d never met before, 19-year-old Chris McLelland, came out from the crowd to intervene when they saw Mackay surrounded and being pummelled. Moments earlier, Seskin had been heading home with a group of friends and was walking down Georgia when he saw Mackay trying to defend the glass storefront. At one point, Seskin saw Mackay carrying a long metal pole that he used to push the crowd back and away from the Bay. And that’s when Mackay was jumped, Seskin said. “People would run to get a punch or a kick in,” he said in a phone interview. “He was just getting hit from all angles, all over his body.” Seskin, who was wearing a gas mask that fell at his feet earlier in the evening—it proved to be useless because the ﬁlter cannister was broken—got in between the mass of people and Mackay, using his body as a shield. At six feet tall and 160 pounds, Seskin was no giant, but he ﬁgured he could endure a few blows to spare the already bloodied Mackay further potentional injury. Asked why he stepped up, Seskin said: “If I didn’t, what would have happened?” Mackay, a 36-year-old sous chef at River Rock’s Tramonto restaurant, believes he can answer that one. He’s convinced that Seskin and McLelland saved his life. “I was very lucky,” he said. “They saved my life.” Images of a bloodied Mackay being helped

Adult obesity rates in Richmond were the lowest in the country, according to a report released Monday by the Canadian Institute for Health Information and the Public Health Agency of Canada. With an adult obesity rate of 5.3 per cent, Richmond was the lowest among Canadian health regions, while Vancouver registered a rate of 6.2 per cent. Kings County, PEI, with a population of 22,000 people as of 2006, was among the highest in the country, at 32.1 per cent, while the Mamawetan/Keewatin/Athabasca region of Saskatchewan registered 35.9 per cent. Jean Harvey, director of the Canadian Population Health Initiative, told The Richmond Review Wednesday that Lulu Island’s large Asian population is likely among the many factors contributing to the city’s low obesity rate. Known as the healthy immigrant effect, the rate of obesity among new Richmondites is generally lower than the Canadian average, which sits at 24 per cent. The national adult obesity rate in the U.S. is 34 per cent. Harvey noted that once these new immigrants arrive in Canada, their obesity rates tend to climb as they begin to eat Canadian foods. Other factors impacting the obesity rates include how cities are built and the socio-economic status of its citizens, Harvey said. The report found that regional variations across Canada were not due to lifestyle factors alone. Half of the populations of both Mamawetan/ Keewatin/Athabasca and Richmond reported being physically inactive. Just 15 minutes of low-impact activity a day could cut the number of obese women by 646,000 cases, and men by 405,000, according to the report’s analysis. “Not surprisingly, this report shows that improving lifestyle behaviours, such as healthy eating and physical activity, can have a signiﬁcant impact on reducing the waistlines and improving the health of Canadians,” said Jeremy Veillard, vice-president of research at the Canadian Institute for Health Information. “However, obesity is complex, and there area many other factors that contribute beyond lifestyle habits.”

At one point, as he told the mob that Vancouver was “my city,” a guy carrying a metal pole suddenly lunged at him. Mackay, who stands six foot three and tips the scales at 250 pounds, wrested the pole away from the man, and then used it to push the increasingly aggressive crowd back. But in the process of pushing forward, Mackay left his back exposed and found himself surrounded. He recalls feeling six, seven or eight blows landing all over his body, and then someone emptied a can of bear spray. That, combined with Seskin’s and McLelland’s heroics, resulted in the mob suddenly backing off. “There was someone looking out for me,” said Mackay. Mackay said that while much of the speculation surrounding the riot casts the blame on teenagers and young adults for causing much of the damage, here’s an example of two teens doing the right thing. And he said the true story is the rallying that’s come in the riot’s aftermath, with citizens coming together to clean up the mess in downtown, and expressing their sorrow through messages on a plywood signing wall at The Bay, and sticky notes that smothered a Vancouver police cruiser.

to his feet by Seskin and McLelland are now among the most memorable of the riot. Mackay suffered a few bruised ribs, a bruised upper nose, and a lump or two on his head. But he didn’t require hospitalization and ended up walking home that evening. Mackay was downtown with his girlfriend, and had been watching Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, when they started walking up Seymour. “Everything was pretty cool,” he recalled. Then as they stood at Seymour and Georgia, he saw a plume of black smoke billowing into the air. He then described seeing a mob of people pushing their way along Georgia, and told his girlfriend he was going to take a peek, and that he’d be right back. That’s when he saw the storefront of The Bay, and another Good Samaritan—somebody he still doesn’t know the identity of—wearing a Markus Naslund-era Canucks jersey, dancing in front of the window and trying to prevent rioters from kicking-in and smashing the windows. That’s when he jumped in to lend a hand, a spur-of-the-moment decision. “I was just reacting...I didn’t have time to think about it. If I was thinking, I would have done things differently.”

Employees canned over riot Camille Cacnio and Connor Mcilvenna lose their jobs by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter One’s a scholarship winner, another a young, upand-coming carpenter. Both are learning that their connection to the Vancouver riot last week has serious consequences. Camille Cacnio, who in 2007 while attending J.N. Burnett Secondary won a $3,500 merit award and was eying an associate of science degree, was captured on camera carrying merchandise out of a vandalized Black & Lee tuxedo store in downtown Vancouver. She was quickly identified and her name was plastered all over the internet. In a blog posted Sunday, Cacnio apologized and said she has turned herself in to Vancouver police and is ready to face the music for her actions. (Her blog, at www.camillecacnioapology.wordpress.com, has since been revised.) She admitted she’s the young woman pictured at the 1:33 mark of a YouTube video: http://youtu.be/ MSNFxnaGqcA. She explained that she was caught up in “mob mentality,” was seeking an “adrenaline rush” and suggested her judgment was impaired by alcohol. “At the time, being a part

The screen grab that identiﬁed Camille Cacnio: video from the riot of Cacnio leaving Black & Lee (left), a Facebook photo (right).

of the riot was simply to fulfill the adrenaline rush I was looking and hoping for—an adrenaline rush that I previously got from post-winning games: hugging randoms, dancing on the streets, honking car horns non-stop, and highfiving just about everybody. In the same way that everybody enjoyed collectively showing pride in our team, it was enjoyable to express my disappointment in a collective manor [sic].” She went on to write: “I had no intentions of defiling the city. I love Vancouver as much as you do—I’ve lived her since I was 7 months old. But in my immature, intoxicated perspective all I saw was that the riot was happening, and would continue happening with or without me, so I might as well get my adrenaline fix.” Cacnio lashed back at

those social media users who said she should “go back to her own country” and that “we CANADIANS dont want her here.” She noted she’s a Canadian citizen and said: “Racism is not accepted in my country, so to the following people, and all others of the like, if you are going to make racist remarks, then maybe you should leave our country.” Cacnio had until the riot had been working as a receptionist at Burrard Acura and was employed at the UBC Birdcoop Fitness Centre. On Saturday, Cacnio was handed her pink slip from Burrard Acura. Her status at Birdcoop wasn’t known. “You make me sick and you are a disgrace to UBC and the City of Vancouver,” wrote Facebook user Mark S. “I’ve called the UBC Bird

COOP to complain to the manager. Voice your opinion here,” wrote Amelle, who provided an e-mail address and phone number for the Birdcoop. Cacnio was among more than two dozen volunteers who ﬂew to the Philippines in 2009 as part of Enspire Foundation’s efforts to build housing for some of that country’s poorest people. Concerned by online comments that urged the public to stop supporting Enspire, the foundation issued a public statement. “Enspire does not condone criminal acts or acts of violence conducted by anyone, including past or current volunteers. With the vision to empower, educate and encourage people to help themselves and others, Enspire sees criminal activity as a direct contradiction to what the organi-

zation represents and who we are,” wrote foundation president Lorie Corcuera. “This incident is uncharacteristic for Camille and I’m sure for most of the people.” Connor Mcilvenna insists he only watched the mayhem unfold with his Richmond friends after the Stanley Cup Finals game between Vancouver and Boston, but it’s his comments posted on his Facebook page that got him fired. He wrote: “atta boy vancity!!! show em how we do it!!!” and “vancouver needed remodeling anyway....” A teary-eyed Mcilvenna apologized in a television news report by CTV. “Yeah, big regrets for making stupid comments I shouldn’t have made.” “I didn’t do anything. I did nothing wrong. I was just there.” Also listed on Mcilvenna’s Facebook page was the name of his employer. His boss, Justin Reitz from Rite Tech Construction, was flooded with 100 e-mails the day after the riot from people who threatened to pull their business if something wasn’t done. “Obviously, I was appalled, disgusted. By no means does my company condone that type of behaviour.” Reitz described Mcilvenna, who worked as a carpenter’s helper for about a year, as a “good kid who said some stupid things.” Reitz had to fire Mcilvenna “for the well being of my company,” he said. “He could be a good carpenter one day.”

Riot photos may be searched against ICBC records

Few charged in Olympics vandalism

ICBC’s offer to let police use its new photo database of B.C. drivers to identify rioters from images circulating online opens an alarming new chapter of anti-privacy surveillance, according to the B.C. Civil Liberties Association. Policy analyst Micheal Vonn said it’s “deeply disturbing” the facial recognition software ICBC uses mainly to detect driver’s licence and insurance fraud may quickly be put to other police purposes. “We are in a new world because of the amount of information that was collected through social media and the ability to run that information through population-level biometric databases,” she said. “Your face itself – recorded anywhere in public space – will now be traceable to your identity.” Vancouver Police have already received a million images and thousands of videos of activity during the June 15 Stanley Cup riot, much of it crowd-sourced from hundreds of cameraphone users. —by Jeff Nagel

No one yet punished for 2010 window smashing spree by Jeff Nagel Black Press Anti-Olympic rioters who smashed windows in downtown Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Games have mostly walked out of B.C. courts without so much as a slap on the wrist. Only a handful of the violent protesters were charged 16 months ago and even the accused ringleader has since escaped court-imposed punishment. Guillaume Joseph-Marc Beaulieu, 27, was charged with mischief over $5,000 for allegedly inciting vandalism and leading black-clad anarchists in a destructive spree through downtown Vancouver Feb. 13, 2010. Protesters used newspaper

boxes as battering rams, spraypainted vehicles and clashed with police. But Crown counsel spokesman Neil McKenzie said the mischief charge against Beaulieu was stayed by prosecutors Jan. 5 after they decided there was little chance of conviction. “Although he apparently participated in the march, there was not any evidence he was personally involved in any violence or vandalism,” McKenzie said Tuesday. Nobody else was ever charged with actual vandalism from the incident, McKenzie said, adding most of the vandals who broke windows were masked and unidentifiable. Other charges mainly stemmed from clashes with police. Lliam Arthur Brander, 27 of North Vancouver, was charged with assault but McKenzie said that charge was eventually stayed and dealt with through

alternative justice measures. Willow Violet Louise Riley, 18, was also charged with assaulting a police officer. The trial was to have gone ahead March 3 but was postponed and the case has been repeatedly adjourned since then. Riley is currently scheduled to be back in court this Friday to set a new date for trial. A couple of others pleaded guilty and received discharges, McKenzie said. The court outcomes may be far different with the rioters and looters charged in last week’s Stanley Cup hockey riot. In this case, police have many more images of rioters with their faces unmasked, McKenzie said. Even so, he cautioned, photos and video may not amount to sufficient evidence by themselves for conviction and will have to be weighed carefully by first police and then Crown.

Province reverses latest cuts to sheriffs by Jeff Nagel Black Press The province will pay for more sheriffs to guard court rooms, reversing cuts imposed late last month that triggered a wave of trial adjournments and sparked strong criticism from judges and lawyers. Attorney General Barry Penner said the government will restore the hours of 52 auxiliary and part-time sheriffs, which had been sharply reduced in late May, bringing back the equivalent of 34 full-time positions. Penner ordered his staff to find more money within the ministry budget to cover more sheriffs after judges told him they were uncomfortable about the safety of courtrooms in the wake of the reductions. Under the cuts, a roving system was in force where each court didn’t necessarily have its own sheriff but was supposed to be able to call on one quickly if needed. “I do not want cases to be adjourned or dismissed simply because a sheriff is not physically present in a courtroom,” Penner said in a statement. “This comes at a cost. Budgets are already tight because of rising health care costs and global economic uncertainty.” At least 23 trials were delayed this month, including a murder case and home invasion case, after judges refused to run them without sheriffs present to provide security. Penner noted auxiliary sheriffs work on an as-requested basis and he expects their hours to continue to fluctuate. “We’re pleased to see the hours come back,” B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union spokesman Dean Purdy said. “But really it’s just a Band-Aid solution. Even before the judges in many locations around the province were refusing to run their trials because of the shortage of deputy sheriffs.” A hiring freeze in effect for the last couple of years has meant B.C. courts have lost more than 100 sheriffs to attrition prior to the now-reversed cuts. Many departing sheriffs left for other higher-paying law enforcement jobs, Purdy said. He’s also worried Penner’s plan to find money elsewhere in the ministry means “robbing from Peter to pay Paul.” NDP Attorney General critic Leonard Krog said the restored hours will help but the government must commit to a broader overhaul of the embattled justice system. “This doesn’t deal with all of the other issues plaguing the justice system,” he said. “We are still down 17 judges across the province,” Krog said. “There are still not enough prosecutors. We know the premier, riding the wave of revulsion over the Vancouver riots, has promised swift prosecution. And we know there aren’t enough prosecutors to do it.” The provincial court has warned 2,100 alleged criminals are at risk of walking free because their cases have already dragged on so long they are at risk of being quashed due to unacceptable delay.

School district staff have requested more time before presenting a report on the health impact on students of using Wi-Fi networks in local schools. Richmond’s chief medical health ofﬁcer, Dr. James Lu, who has been asked to assist the district, said there’s a large volume of material that needs to be perused. The special Wi-Fi safety committee, chaired by trustee Linda McPhail, was struck after a presentation last May from a group called SafeinSchool Parents. The World Health Organization recently named electromagnetic ﬁelds as a “possible carcinogen” alongside lead and DDT. Victor Khong, of SafeinSchool, has asked that WiFi use be limited only to certain parts of the school, and that Wi-Fi be disconnected in rooms that do not use computers. The report is expected to be tabled at the July 4 meeting of the board. —by Martin van den Hemel

More than ﬁve hours later, the two occupants left the apartment without incident. The following day, police obtained a search warrant and seized evidence from the ground-ﬂoor condo. James Roper was charged Friday in Richmond provincial court and will be making his next court appearance on June 23.

BEGINNING THIS JULY, WE’LL BE IN RICHMOND TO EXCHANGE YOUR OLD METER WITH A NEW SMART METER.

Mumps outbreak reported by Jeff Nagel Black Press An outbreak of mumps is underway across the Lower Mainland including Richmond, affecting mainly young adults. The B.C. Centre For Disease Control says it’s the ﬁrst sizable mumps outbreak since 2008 and extends across both the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser health regions. The disease centre urges the public to ensure their vaccinations are up to date. It also says many people in their late teens or early 20s haven’t had a second dose of the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine, which is recommended for anyone born after 1970. The virus attacks the glands but it can be considerably worse than the classic sore throat and swollen chipmunk cheeks typically experienced by children. Those most at risk are people who have never been vaccinated or who were vaccinated long ago. Anyone who suspects they have mumps should phone a doctor or Health Link BC at 811 and avoid going to a clinic or ER where they may spread the virus to others.

Richmond man honoured for conservation efforts Retired biologist Otto Langer named co-recipient of Roland Michener Conservation Award

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Retired Richmond biologist Otto Langer has been honoured with a Canadian Wildlife Federation Award. Langer and Dennis Sherratt were named co-recipients of the Roland Michener Conservation Award, which recognizes individuals who

demonstrate an active commitment to conservation through effective and responsible activities. Langer worked for the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans for 30 years and became a pioneer in the field of conservation. He has offered his expertise in more than 100 environmental court cases across the country. He’s supplied training in methods

of gathering evidence, getting the cases before the courts, played a role in adding habitat protection sections to the Fisheries Act and lobbied for strong government guidelines on habitat mapping and monitoring. Wade Luzny, president of the wildlife federation, said the award “recognizes the excellent work for wildlife being carried out across

our country. We are thrilled with the depth and magnitude of all the nominations we receive. These awards are one way to pay tribute to what so many people have made their life work—to ensure our natural heritage remains for future generations.” Sherratt is a Saskatchewanbased environmental researcher who is studying climate change.

Olympic oval board members re-elected by Matthew Hoekstra

Argyle St.

City council re-elected the Richmond Olympic O va l C o r p o ra t i o n’s board of directors Monday. Among those returning to the board is George Duncan, the city’s chief administrative ofﬁcer. City spokesperson Ted Townsend said Duncan— who also serves as the oval’s chief executive ofﬁcer—is staying on the board to provide “continuity,” noting much of the vision for the building’s operation was formed by the city under Duncan’s direction. “We still consider ourselves to be in the startup phase of the facility,” said Townsend. “The post-Games conversion of the facility is not 100 per cent complete yet.” The board of directors is responsible for the operation of the oval, whose sole shareholder is the city. Other board members elected with one or twoyear terms are Michael O’Brien, Moray Keith, Roger Barnes, Linda Sanderson, Vic Farmer and Umendra Mital. One other board member, B.C. Lions president and chief executive officer Dennis Skulsky, was appointed in February for a one-year term. Architect David Thom, a board member last year, is not returning. According to Townsend, the board is compensated similarly to Metro Vancouver board members, who now receive $330 per meeting. Duncan, however, doesn’t receive additional compensation for his two roles with the oval, according to the city.

EDITORIAL: Easy to judge, not so easy to forgive

he Vancouver riot of 2011 has completely overshadowed the Vancouver Canucks’ great playoff run and such issues as should Cory Schneider have started Game 4 or why bench healthy Keith Ballard over several hobbling defencemen. One of the enduring stories of the riot will be the use of social media. A frequent scene in the riots was that of thousands of bystanders getting in the way of police and passively watching crimes taking place. They were watching the action unfold through their cellphones. However, the resulting video has turned into a goldmine of evidence. Within hours of the riot, websites sprang up with images of rioters. Many of the hooligans were quickly identified and publicly shamed online. Thanks to social media, the public has played the role of journalist and investigator. Unfortunately, many are adding the role of judge (and a hanging judge at that) as well. The rioters certainly reaped what they sowed. But attacking their family, employers and friends with abusive phone calls

and e-mails is counter-productive. While many blogs and Facebook sites have done excellent work in exposing the identities of rioters, those who run such sites need to do a better job of monitoring hateful comments. One rioter had his home ad-

dress published. Another has been subject to racist, sexist attacks. Several of the rioters have come forward and apologized in varying degrees of sincerity. Many online vigilantes aren’t accepting these apologies.

Certainly the rioters all deserve their lumps, but rehabilitation is just as important as retribution. Saying sorry is an important step in seeing the error of one’s ways. Rioters should be encouraged to do so and not be forever ostracized by a mob mentality.

Seung-Chul Baik photo Rioters attack a vehicle in downtown Vancouver.

What would I have done at that age? In the aftermath of the riot in downtown Vancouver, pointing the ﬁnger has been easy—at police, at out-of-control youth, at hockey hooligans in general—but I’ve turned my index digit inward and done a little soul searching ever since this question popped up at the ofﬁce water cooler. And I’m now convinced that had I been downtown under similar circumstances to those who actively participated, I might have made the same bad decisions that have landed so many of these young adults in hot water. This might come as a surprise to those who know me well. I’m a relatively clean-cut,

non-violent, law-abiding, happily-married father-ofthree, who has never had a run-in with the law. But I draw on one memorable experience I had 14 years ago, a story I’ve retold several times and has induced ﬁts of laughter, yet at the same time provided a lot of insight into the inner-Martin. Though I’m a Dutchman, I’ve never acquired a taste for Heineken or any other alcoholic beverage. Consequently, I’ve only been drunk once in my life. It was during a stag my buddies held for me prior to getting married in 1997. From what I can remember, it was a fun night, and I was acting as silly as I normally do. Check that: with all that alcohol in my system, my friends tell me I was funnier, more laid back and louder than ever. In the early-morning stag aftermath, I recall stumbling into my parents’ bungalow, somehow ﬁnding the washroom, using the toilet, grabbing my toothbrush...and then it happened. I fumbled my toothbrush into the toilet I’d just vacated.

I remember chuckling to myself as I looked at my hazy, disheveled reﬂection in the mirror, dipping my wandering hand into the cool rippling water, and retrieving my toothbrush. Then I did the unthinkable: I rinsed it off, topped it with some fresh mint toothpaste, and brushed my teeth without a second thought. It wasn’t until the following morning, when I awoke with a massive headache, that I recalled what I’d done. Bleeehhh, I thought, before rushing to the washroom, trashing said toothbrush, getting a new one, then brushing, rinsing and repeating a few times, mixed in with a cap or two of mouth-burning green Scope. Fast forward to the 2011 version of the Stanley Cup riot, and the story of Richmond’s Camille Cacnio. A good, bright, caring kid, judging from her history. In her original, insightful, introspective apology, written on a blog she entitled ‘Dear Vancouver, I am sorry’ she confessed she’d been drinking on the day she waltzed into a Black

& Lee amidst the chaos. (She’s since removed the bulk of the apology, in which she went into a bit of a rant, seemingly tried to rationalize what she’d done, and arguably even minimized her actions by writing that her theft was much less serious than burning a police car, for instance.) I could relate to Camille’s wayward walk onto the wrong side of the law. Had I been downtown as a teenager, and intoxicated by both alcohol and the lookie-loo pulse-pounding thrill generated by a throbbing mass of misbehaving humanity, I might still not have kicked-in any windows or burned a police car. But darting into a smashed storefront and snatching a new toothbrush in that disgusting context? Perhaps, in my alcohol-addled frame of thinking. And if I’d been cheered on by equally impaired “friends”? Likely much worse. And that’s the point. Alcohol isn’t an excuse for what Canadians and the world witnessed last week. But in my books, it sure explains why we’re now

learning that a lot of the rioters weren’t masked, molotov-cocktail-armed anarchists after all. They were gifted athletes, intelligent scholarship-winners, and fine blue-collar workers. And in the case of at least Camille Cacnio, alcohol played some sort of a role. It’s tough enough for sober teens and young adults to navigate through the temptation-filled boobytrapped pylons of life. Add Budweiser to the mix, and it can become a perilous regret-filled journey. I’m convinced too, that minus the alcohol, much of the anger that boiled over would have been kept in check by each person’s sensibility. Some of us tend to become enraged drunks when under alcohol’s influence. On the bright side, last week’s mess has sprouted sober second-thoughts and seemingly sincere apologies, no-doubt expedited by all the iPhonewielding cheerleaders and photojournalists who unfortunately captured images of Vancouver at its worst. It’s a reality we’re all waking up to.

OUR FAMOUS SUMMER

Rioters were urban terrorists Editor: All those who instigated and participated in what happened last Wednesday, were simply “urban terrorists” and when caught, should be charged to the fullest extent of the law, under the Canadian AntiTerrorism Act. First on the list should be Brock Anton and charged to the full extent of the act as well. Mr. Anton and others came downtown with the speciﬁc intent to cause trouble and terrorize downtown. As a result, the police were paralyzed, the ﬁre department was paralyzed and

transit was paralyzed and so in my view, the city of Vancouver was “terrorized.” I hope that the police make those terrorists who were wearing Canuck jerseys trade them in for prison uniforms and wear those uniforms for a very long time. We need to deal with these people to the fullest extent of the law, and make sure that this doesn’t happen again. We need to show them that Vancouver belongs to all and not to them!

letters Anger lurks beneath the surface in Vancouver

FREE Win a Hyundai Car at the Market

Editor: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure there are as many theories about why the Stanley Cup riots occurred as there are people. Vancouver is renowned around the world as the best place to live with its stunning mountain scenery, abundance of natural resources, diverse population and culture. Yet with all of this postcard beauty I have always felt a suppressed anger lurking just beneath the surface among the people who live here. Vancouver is a city unlike any other that has gone through many changes over the

last 20 years socially and economically. This has been even more apparent in the last 10 years. Buildings and houses have been torn down at an unprecedented rate for the purposes of welcoming the international wealthy. In the process of achieving its ďŹ nancial goals, the city has created a whole generation of the middle-class that are ďŹ nding they are now the lower middle-class. The gap between the rich and poor has been widening at an alarming rate and yet the poor are smugly told to be polite, adapt and ďŹ nd something positive to

take from all of this. I think one would have to be very naĂŻve to think this trend would continue without a backlash of some sort. The Stanley Cup ďŹ nal was that perfect trigger. No one condones the actions of those who took part in the riot. We can point our ďŹ ngers at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;hooligansâ&#x20AC;? saying they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t represent the true Canucks fans, and we would be right, because this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really about a hockey game; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really about where we are as a city in 2011, for better or for worse.

Editor: I am writing to you because I want to talk to you about the riot that happened after the Stanley cup game. I am upset that adults were wrecking and destroying Vancouver just because the Canucks lost against the Boston Bruins and they came in second place. I do not think the people in the riot are good Canuck fans because good Canuck fans are proud and happy for whatever place their team comes in and if they win or lose. I am also sad because the adults were not showing a good example for children like me. I feel sad and angry because they destroyed a beautiful city. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like what they did after the game. They are not showing that they are Canuck fans! Jessica Agregado Richmond

Editor: I am writing to you because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m disappointed in how the people acted after the Stanley Cup game. I did not like that those people called themselves fans when they destroyed my favorite Chapters book store and many other stores. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m upset that grown ups acted so immaturely. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in Grade 3 and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even act like that!! A good fan doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t destroy a city. A good fan does congratulate the other team. This damage affected so much! Vancouver used to have a great reputation and now half the world thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dangerous place! My whole Grade 3 class are better fans than those people who caused all the destruction. None of those trouble-makers were representing Vancouver. I think that these people werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t acting smart at all. Liam Gorsuch Richmond

The Vancouver I know and love Editor: “Yikes! Not our Vancouver!!??” This was the subject line of an e-mail I received from a friend travelling overseas. She’d just seen the riots on TV. No, I replied, not our Vancouver just a very few deeply disturbed individuals who decided to give this fair city a black eye. It was a young man who started the cleanup crew. He was shown on TV, as the riots were ﬁzzling out, his arms full of garbage, pleading to others, with such a passion, to come out to help. It was said that 12,000 volunteers came into the city for the organized clean up—that’s Vancouver! Young people who had deliberately caught images of the hoodlums on their cell phones to pass on to the Vancouver Police Department sat up all night downloading them to their computers, searched the Internet for those who had brazenly posted their criminal activities and downloaded those images before the criminals could erase them. Now that’s Vancouver! Vancouver police set up a website and e-mail address for those who had pictures and information to get it to them. That’s Vancouver. Mayor Gregor Robertson and Premier Christy Clark vowed to bring every single one of those people to justice—swiftly and harshly—to send the message that this will never happen here again—that’s Vancouver. And, oh yes, about our amazing fabulous Canucks! Our local radio stations and TV channels opened their lines to the public who expressed their deep love, allegiance and appreciation to our Canucks for the amazing season us hockey fans had the privilege to be integrally part of and the majority of us peacefully celebrated. That’s the Vancouver I know and love. Audrey Truth

Rioters an embarrassment Editor: As a proud Canadian and proud Vancouver Canucks fan, losing Game 7 made me sad. But what made me almost cry, was watching the Vancouver riot. I’m only 12 years old and I know that what happened was wrong and not Vanouver at all. After 1994 after we lost there was a riot, then we were not trusted until 2010 Winter Olympics. And now when we mention to someone that we are from Vancouver, people will no longer say, “Oh what a beautiful city!” I am completely disgusted, ashamed and embarrassed. I hope people in the riot realize what they did wrong and accept the consequences, because people will not forget this. Why not just be proud of our Vancouver Canucks who got so far?

"With our annual summer Burn Camp for kids, we give children survivors a chance to be among their peers and really just enjoy the experience of camp," Hughes said, noting the Burn Fund's reach extends throughout B.C. and the Yukon. "Through the various programs run by the Burn Fund, we give burn survivors the ability to gain confidence and move forward through life." As one of the largest fundraisers for the Burn Fund (www.burnfund.org), Hughes said the money raised by the Hometown Heroes Lottery provides a large and important boost to the fund's programs.

The ﬁne art of ﬁbre Artists trace the movement of life in a non-traditional medium by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

raversing a short maze of floor-toceiling netting is part of the experience, as is jumping at the unexpected sight of someone else’s shadow. The web of ropes—and a passing projected silhouette—is an installation from Toronto’s Ed Pien, one of four artists behind Fibred Optics, a new art show that pulls the rug from under a perception that ﬁbre arts are merely crafts. Curator Andrea Fatona calls the labour-intensive piece a “three-dimensional drawing in space” that speaks to the continued global movement of people. “Ever since the beginning of time, even if we don’t know or have had personal engagement with other people or tribes, we haunt each other’s spaces,” said Fatona, who serves as curator of contemporary art for the Ottawa Art Gallery. Fatona chose the name Fibred Optics to make the exhibition accessible to a public interested in seeing works made of ﬁbre, while challenging widelyheld perceptions of the medium. See Page 16

A band whose career spans over 70 years comes to River Rock Show Theatre Friday. The Blind Boys of Alabama are gospel music legends, having formed at the Alabama Institute for the Negro Blind in 1939. The group toiled for four decades almost exclusively on the black gospel circuit, mostly playing churches and auditoriums. In 1983 the group found a new audience for its role in the musical The Gospel at Colonus, and in recent years has been honoured with five Grammy Awards. Jimmy Carter is the last regularly performing member from the original group. In an interview last fall, Carter said four of the group’s current members are blind and three can see. Joining the group on stage will be Dr. John and the Lower 911 Band. Tickets to the June 24 show are $59.50 to $69.50, available at ticketmaster.ca or 1-855985-5000.

From Page 13 “When I started to think about the show, a show with fibre is really about interrupting a space of fine arts. Most artists who work with fibre tend to be relegated to the space or the category of craft,” she said. All four artists are trained in fine arts and spent countless hours creating the pieces in the show. Montreal’s Jérôme Havre crafted arm-sized mythical sculptures by sewing together recycled, stuffed nylons to create bodies with functioning joints, giving them an almost lifelike quality—in a voodoo

doll-like way. In many ways, the sculptures represent multiple cultures coming together, ﬁtting nicely with the show’s clear message of hybridity. Michèle Provost, of Gatineau, Que., took words from high-level art writing and crafted 3,000 individually-made tags, each stamped, punched and clipped into shape with nail scissors before volunteers layered them on a gallery wall this week. The words are used to describe art around the world, and together form a visual representation of how art functions across borders. Halifax artist Frances Dorsey is the fourth artist in the show. In her large landscape-like works, Dorsey merges personal memories with history, namely warfare. War is part of Dorsey’s history beginning with her father, who served as a soldier in the Second World War. “It made him crazy the way combat makes everybody crazy. I just

found it interesting to think about the ways people come to cope with that kind of trauma but how it plays out in the next generation and the next generation and the next generation. It’s like it never ends,” said Dorsey, a Halifax artist and university teacher in Richmond for Thursday’s opening. Her work, “Rice Paddies,” and the accompanying stories in the exhibition, is a 28-panel fabric work

reflecting on the war in Vietnam, where she lived for several years as a child. Imbedded in the fabric panels are images of Second World War soldiers who emerged from the conflict shattered, “but created Vietnam in spite of themselves.” Dorsey said working with cloth is “really really slow,” but gives back with its malleable and receptive form. “You push it and it pushes back, and it pushes back in an uncontrollable way because it has no substance. If you let go of it it just flops on the floor. There’s an interesting interaction that happens, but, it happens really slowly.” It also gave Dorsey time for memories to flood back. “When I started making the work, I was just washed by things I hadn’t thought about since I was 10. In that way, it...allowed me to sit and be with the experience so that things came back to me.”

It all starts with strawberries

Food for Thought Arlene Kroeker At Saturday’s Steveston Farmers Market, Darlene Tanaka took the Chef in the Market stage with a bowlful of fresh local strawberries

and two boiling pots of water. She explained the canning process as she mixed berries with sugar and pectin, pulled sterilized jars from the boiling bath, used a magic, I mean magnetic, wand to retrieve lids, and ﬁnally sealed them with a ring, but not too tightly. When she answered all the questions, she moved down the table and stood behind six strawberry desserts. Time to judge. Along with Chef Kieran from The Sweet Spot Bakery in Steveston, Darlene and I

picked up a spoon and took the challenge. Les Wessels brought his beautiful Eton Mess. He told me that he’d gone to Birak Farms (4200 No. 6 Rd. – one of the ﬁrst farms to have ripe berries) on Friday evening, but they were closed. Saturday morning he arrived at 8 a.m. only to be told that the berries hadn’t yet been picked. He explained his urgent need so he could enter the strawberry dessert contest, so the dear farmer went into the ﬁeld and picked them. The South Arm United

Church Community Garden submitted their deep-dish strawberry rhubarb pie. Chef Kieran said it would have won ﬁrst prize if it was just strawberries. He raved about the crust and the crumble. JoAnn Malysh brought strawberries with lemon cream in phyllo pastry cups. Sharon Wickham offered up a strawberry coffee cake, and chef Ralphe Legay, who teaches cooking classes in Richmond, submitted and assembled his elegant strawberry peppermint mousse in chocolate cups. In the end, it was Chris

Food Notes

Evans who won us over with the simplest of recipes. She almost didn’t enter, but when she found local berries at Kins on Friday, she asked if it wasn’t too late to enter. Her strawberry ice-cream was so full of fresh local ﬂavour that we gave it top marks. Chris, by the way, won the blueberry recipe contest 12 years ago. I still make her blueberry pie every summer. She says she gets invited to a lot of potlucks over summer because everyone knows she’ll bring one or the other. See recipes, p. 20-21

BBQ Class: Chef Ralphe Legay grills naan bread, vegetable salad, eggplant and plantain, fresh local fish wrapped in banana leaves, and infused pineapple this Saturday, 1-4 p.m. at Richmond Alliance Church (11371 No. 3 Rd.). Cost: $39. Register at 778227-2204. www.chefralphecookingclasses.com. Canning Demo: Darlene Tanaka, of B.C. Strawberry Growers Association and Bernardin, explains how to preserve summer this Saturday, 1-2 p.m. at Galloway’s Specialty Foods (7820 Alderbridge Way).

Chris Evans’ Strawberry Ice Cream

Blend or liquidize one lb of fresh, local strawberries (it doesn’t work with California berries) with one tbsp of lemon juice and one cup of sugar. Stir in two cups of coffee cream (18 per cent). Freeze for 2-3 hours. Remove and stir thoroughly. Refreeze. (To reduce fat content: Increase strawberries by half a pound and use half-and-half cream instead of coffee cream. Or, as Chris says, “Eat half the amount you planned to.”

Mattu learns much in Mexico

Kajaks master meet

Sharks’ star helps Canada qualify for 2012 world championships by Don Fennell Sports Editor She’s the best high school female basketball player in Richmond, and one of the best in the province. But Anmol Mattu, the ﬁve-foot-three Grade 11 point guard for the Steveston-London Sharks, had never experienced the game at the level she did last week. “It was deﬁnitely an amazing experience, like none other,” said Mattu, after helping Canada’s Cadette women’s national team place third at the 2011 FIBA (the international governing body of baskeball) Americas under-16 championship in Merida, Mexico. A 53-36 win over Puerto Rico on Saturday gave Canada third place overall and earned it a spot in the 2012 FIBA under-17 world championships to be played in the Netherlands. “The people you play with and against, the coaches, everything is exceptional,” Mattu said. “And you can never feel more proud than wearing Canada across your chest. Unless you’ve experienced that you never know how it feels, but it’s amazing.” Mattu is anxious to put into practice what she learned during the Americas tournament. That includes going into

Ruggers picked Two players from the Richmond Rugby Club have been selected to the B.C. Elite Youth Sevens team for the Western Canada Summer Games in Kamloops this August. Ironically, Tomasi Vataiki and Harjun Gill are standouts in 15-a-side rugby, recently winning the Lower Mainland club championship.

every game ready to play, and retaining that energy and focus throughout. “Though there was an amazing calibre of players there, you can never walk into a game expecting to win,” she said. “In our loss to Brazil (56-35 in semifinal play on Friday) we didn’t come with the energy we did in the other games. It’s easy to maintain that energy when things are going your way, but definitely we all should work on that part of the mental game.” That said, Canada’s squad, which was only together a couple of weeks after final tryouts in Toronto June 9, was as talented and hard working as any team in the tournament, she said. And it was like a big family. “It was really good for me to play (in an environment) like this,” Mattu said. “When you play against players as good or better than you, you’re consistently challenged and little mistakes show. Many of the girls are at least a foot and a half taller than me and I had to learn to either finish a play in a different way or shoot the three. I also loved learning from the coaches. They all had a different style but everything they tell you, on or off the floor, is for a reason—like passing to the post even when you think the shot is open for you.”

Nass makes grade with B.C. lacrosse team Cody Nass’ love of lacrosse keeps growing, and so do his achievements. Nass is the only Richmond player to make the 2011 provincial box team after tryouts concluded Sunday in Penticton. It was a tense weekend as players from four districts vied for 20 spots. They played three games to cut down to half, and

one more to ﬁnalize the roster. “I made it,” said Nass, sporting a big smile as he greeted family after the ﬁnal game. It was a goal he set for himself at the beginning of the year. A member of Richmond’s Midget A team, and an underage player for the Intermediate A squad, Nass clearly

has his hands full with lacrosse. He decided a couple of years ago to dedicate himself to lacrosse when he gave up a promising career in hockey. It was a tough choice, but he wanted to also have time to participate in school sports and keep up his grades. In focusing solely on lacrosse, Nass plays ﬁeld in the winter season and

box in the spring. He played for the Burnaby Mountain Selects (a regional travelling field team that promotes players at U.S. scholarship scouting tournaments) for a season, and his long-term goal is to play at the university level. Nass’ strengths are many. The top goal scorer on his Midget and ﬁeld teams each of

the past few seasons, he also demonstrates excellent stick skills and the ability to move the ball quickly. Coaches also appreciate his tremendous focus and dedication, which includes a penchant for ﬁtness. The national box lacrosse championships are July 31 to Aug. 6 in Whitby, Ont.

Richmond Kajaks Track and Field Club athletes stood tall at the B.C. Masters Championships last weekend in Langley. Jess Brewer set the pace by establishing two provincial records in three events. Brewer won the 100-metre hurdles in a record 20.18 seconds and the 300-metre hurdles in a record 51.77 seconds, sandwiching a second-place finish in the 200-metre sprint in 30.94 seconds. Rose Hare finished first in three and second in two field events in the women’s 60-to64 age group. She won the hammer event with a throw of 28.99 metres, and was best in the javelin (21.30 metres) and weight throw (11.65 metres). Her best throw in the discus was 22.24 metres and in the shot put 8.69 metres. Other results were as follows: •G abriella Moro (women’s 60-64) first in discus and shot put and second in hammer; • M a r k P i n c k a rd (mens’ 50-54) first in 400, 800 and 1500 metres; •Chris Maika (men’s 45-49) first in 800 metres and second in 1500 metres; •Steve Hosford (men’s 60-64) first in 800 and 1500 metres; •Fred Pawluk (men’s 60-64) second in 800 and 1500 metres; •Jake Madderom (men’s 65-69) first in 800 metres; •Gwen McFarlan (women’s 75-79) first in 1500 metres.

Don Fennell photo Alex Bott was one of three Richmond Chuckers trying out for Team B.C.’s Midget baseball team Saturday at Latrace Field. Teammates Sebastien Hayes and Hayden Malcolm were also among a group of 40 prospects who also battled frequent showers during a morning skills session and afternoon scrimmage.

Curl BC introduces new qualifying process Curl BC is introducing a new inter-regional qualifying process for the 2012 Canadian Direct Insurance BC Men’s Curling Championship. The four open qualifying events have been eliminated, and 16 provincial berths will now be awarded as follows: •one berth to the defending champion; •one berth to top B.C. points leader; •10 berths to ﬁve inter-regional events; Kootenays – Regions 1 & 2; Thompson / Okanagan – Regions 3, 4, 7; North – Regions 5, 6; Island – Region 8-10; Lower Mainland – Region 11; •four berths to an open qualifying event

In order for each inter-regional playdown to receive two berths, they must have eight or more entries. If an event has less teams enter, they will receive one berth and the remaining berth will be reallocated to the inter-regional playdown with the most entries. If a playdown has less than four entries, it will be cancelled and teams will be required to enter one of the other inter-regional events which the berths will be re-allocated to. This change comes as a result of an ongoing playdown review being conducted by Curl BC to ensure that all respective playdowns meet the needs of the changing face of curling in B.C.

“ROOFUS” NEEDS A GOOD HOME WITH YOU!

“ROOFUS” ID # 229126, NM, 5 YEARS, DSH

This robust guy was brought to the SPCA by ambulance because he was found on a roof, very dehydrated. He is the King of the Castle, & will appreciate having a chair to hang out on and watch the world go by. He is full of personality & likes to talk to you to ﬁnd out how your day is going! Roofus is a brown tabby with gorgeous green eyes & has won the hearts of the staff & volunteers at the Richmond BCSPCA with his sweet & cheerful disposition.

> Richmond Lions Club’s 21st annual Sockeye Run Car Show and Shine

Car buffs turn out for show and shine The hearts and souls of many of classic car enthusiasts were on display at Steveston Community Park last Sunday for the Richmond Lions Club’s 21st annual Sockeye Run Car Show and Shine. Over 100 cars were parked on the grass and enjoyed by an estimated 1,000 spectators. Registration fees, donations and sponsorships helped raise $2,700 for the Around Town Richmond Lions Club. “This year was anAmanda Oye other great show,” said Randy Scherk, the Sockeye Run organizer. Eight judges from the automotive industry picked winners for 35 different awards that were each sponsored by a local business or individual. Many car owners also won rafﬂe prizes. “We had a lot of fun doing this,” Scherk said. They had a musician, Bob Marlowe, to entertain the crowd and a concession for refreshments. The total amount from the 106 car registrations, a $10 fee, and donations for entrance by spectators went directly to the club as all of the costs of running the event were paid for through sponsorship. “Without our sponsors the show wouldn’t happen,” Scherk said. The Richmond Lions Club supports various causes with the money it raises, but “the focus is on special needs children within our own community,” according to Scherk.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: James Sharples, owner of the 1956 Oldsmobile 442 on display and Ryan Staples; Christina Lindahal, Lee and baby Kinley O’Brien; Ian Fosbrook in front of his 1968 Lincoln; Les, Cameron and Matthew Weeks.
