Strawberries are at their peak Richmond growers now selling B.C. berries by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Local strawberries will be at their peak this long weekend, according to a lifelong grower in East Richmond. “You can’t get them any better than they are right now,” said Bill Zylmans, who started selling his ripe red product two weeks ago at his roadside stand.

Steveston is the place to be today—Canada Day— as the 66th Steveston Salmon Festival takes place. Events include the children’s bike parade at 9:30 a.m., the main parade at 10 a.m., a salmon barbecue that sells out fast, Japanese cultural displays, entertainment, a craft fair, children’s entertainment and much, much more. To help locals sample the comprehensive menu of sports on offer, great efforts have been made to temporarily relocate the Richmond Olympic Oval to the ﬁshing village... well at least the guts of the oval. The new Richmond Olympic Oval area will sit east of the food court, and give visitors a chance to practise their slapshot at the Scotiabank Street Hockey Zone. In the afternoon, Vancouver Canuck Manny Malhotra is expected to make an appearance. To make this year’s festival the greenest ever, volunteer sorters will be strategically located throughout the festival site, to help everyone properly sort their garbage. Only biodegradable or compostable cutlery and dishes will be supplied by food vendors, so it all goes into compost, said festival organizer Janice Froese. See www.stevestonsalmonfest.ca for more information on festival events.

mately 600 acres across the region. Strawberry sales at Zylmans’ W&A Farms (17771 Westminster Hwy.) are expected to continue for at least another week. The stand is open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. A U-Pick ﬁeld is open daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., weather permitting. Another longtime Lulu Island grower, Gurpal Singh Birak, sells his product at Birak Berry Farm at 4200 No. 6 Rd. The stand is open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., selling ready-picked berries and offering ﬁelds to pick your own. G.S. Farm at 11400 No. 4 Rd. has them, as do a few farms along Steveston Highway.

Although cool, wet weather pushed the strawberry season late, the meteorological mix is helping produce the best berries in a decade, said Zylmans. “I’ve never experienced a spring and summer like this one,” he said. “But the crop is awesome.” Zylmans said his berries are pesticide-free, and notable for large size, full red colour and rich ﬂavour. “That’s what sets B.C. strawberries apart from California berries,” he said. According to the Fraser Valley Strawberry Growers Association, 30 producers grow the red berries on approxi-

A local sous chef will be honoured for his efforts to stop some of the vandalism during the Stanley Cup Riot in downtown Vancouver earlier this month. Robert Mackay will be presented the Chairman’s Award of Merit—the highest honour given to an employee ROBERT of the orgaMACKAY nization—by Great Canadian Gaming Corporation representatives next Thursday. He’ll be presented the award outside the Hudson’s Bay flagship store in Vancouver, the very place where he tried to prevent rioters from smashing display windows, only to be beaten down by a mob of them. Mackay works at Tramonto restaurant at River Rock Casino Resort, and was spared further injury when Richmond’s Dean Seskin, 18, stepped forward to use his body to shield Mackay from a flurry of punches and kicks. Chris McLelland, 19, also helped. “We are extremely proud and honoured to have such an amazing employee be a part of the River Rock Casino family,” said corporation president Rod Baker. “Mr. Mackay is an example to all British Columbians as he exemplified courage and honour in the face of extreme danger and adversity.” The CEO of Hudson’s Bay, Richard Baker, the City of Vancouver and the Downtown Business Improvement Association will also acknowledge Mackay’s actions. —by Martin van den Hemel

Frayed flags cause flap Resident irked by poor condition of flags at Richmond Public Market by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Torn, tattered and faded, the Canadian flags flying above Richmond Public Market have raised the ire of a resident ahead of Canada Day celebrations today. “They are an absolute disgrace to our community, they’re disrespectful and they’re just not right,” said John Way, 62, a longtime Richmond resident who lives on Buswell Street across from the City Centre market. Multiple flags flying from roof-

top poles adorn the building. B.C. flags flying in tandem are in a similar state. Way said his father served as a Canadian naval officer for 36 years, a career that led him into major conflicts including the Second World War and Korea. “He always stood at attention and saluted the flag,” said Way. “I just think people need to pay more attention to the flag and the provincial flag as well especially on Canada Day.” A call to the administration office of the market, which specializes in Chinese food and produce, was not returned. According to the Canadian Heritage department’s rules for flying the flag, when a flag becomes tattered and is no longer in a “suitable condition,” it should be destroyed in a “dignified way.”

Draw to break election tie The possibility is remote, but what the city does if candidates tie in a municipal election erupted into the only debate at city hall Monday night. Council voted 7-2 to decide the winning candidate by a random draw—not a runoff election that some had hoped for. If a tie for the mayor’s seat or final council position stands after a judicial recount, past practice in Richmond was to hold a runoff election. But Mayor Malcolm Brodie said provincial legislation requires all unsuccessful candidates to be included in the runoff election— not just those who tied. “That’s a very expensive way to go,” he said, noting the second election would cost $250,000. “It just doesn’t seem to make cost effective sense in my opinion.” Coun. Evelina Halsey-Brandt, who along with Coun. Sue HalseyBrandt favoured the runoff option, said flipping a coin to decide the winner is a “kick in the butt” to democracy. — by Matthew Hoekstra

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond developer, philanthropist and community leader Milan Ilich died Wednesday following an extended illness. Ilich built infrastructure across the province, advanced professional and amateur sports and supported numerous charitable causes over the years. “As a community, a province, a country, we’ve lost a great British Columbian,” said John Yap, MLA for Richmond-Steveston. Yap said Ilich was a great Canadian immigrant success story that resonates with so many Canadians—arriving here with little and through hard work and an entrepreneurial spirit, built a successful business. What really impressed Yap about the man was how much he cared about

Food carts floated for City Centre streets A veteran councillor is serving up an idea for on-street food vendors the city could allow in the future—SOUL food. The acronym is short for sustainable, organic, unprocessed and primarily local food, a diet growing in popularity and encouraged by nutritionists. “If we are the healthiest city in Canada and the least obese city in Canada than we should make sure the street vendors are selling healthy food to the public,” said Coun. Harold Steves this week. City staff are mulling the idea of allowing food carts to sell food to pedestrians in high-trafﬁc ar-

eas along the Canada Line. According to a report considered Monday, retail operations are being explored on city property near Aberdeen Station and near the No. 3 Road and Westminster Highway intersection. Vancouver recently opened up its streets to food vendors through a selective bidding process. Among those who favour food carts here is Coun. Sue Halsey-Brandt. “The inclusion of vendors on street corners will animate and enliven the street and provide our citizens services they want and services they require,” she said.

Robert Kates, manager of real estate services for the city, said staff still must determine what interest the market has, but noted he already received a call this week from an interested vendor. Staff must also decide what locations and types of vendors the city would welcome. Kates said his intention would be to work with existing bricks-and-mortar businesses, and not offer them up new street-side competition. Said Kates: “Certainly the intent is to have something different lively and something to animate the street, so to speak.” — by Matthew Hoekstra

the community. “The story of Milan Ilich is a great Canadian example for all of us,” said Yap. Born in the small northern B.C. mining town of Anyox to Yugoslavian parents, Ilich later settled in Richmond with his family of 10. During the Great Depression, Ilich left school to help bring food to the family table. Ilich later carved out a career in the construction industry. In 1965, he and his wife Maureen invested their savings in a small business that has grown into the Progressive Group of Companies, which has been behind many development projects in Richmond and elsewhere. In recent years, Ilich has become known more for his charitable contributions through the Milan and Maureen Ilich Foundation, which contributed half the $4-million needed to bring an MRI machine to Richmond Hospital. His interest in building B.C. sports led him to invest in the Vancouver Giants hockey team. He’s also a former owner of the Vancouver 86ers soccer team.

He has provided support to countless others. In 2008, when The Richmond Review reported on the plight of a young mother who had just lost her husband and wasn’t sure how she’d pay her bills, Ilich handed the woman a dozen post-dated cheques worth $24,000. Last fall the provincial government bestowed his highest honour on Ilich—the Order of B.C. Mayor Malcolm Brodie called Ilich a “giant within the community.” “There were very few community organizations that were not supported directly or indirectly by his contributions and his support,” said Brodie. Sometimes the support would be ﬁnancial—as the largest single donor to the Caring Place—but he also lent his personal support to various projects. Brodie said an example came when the city was building the oval, and Ilich stepped in as honourary chairman of the building committee. Brodie said Ilich was also a dedicated family man who loved Richmond.

Tax breaks offered to 40 businesses City council approved a bylaw Monday that will give some Brighouse businesses a partial break from inflated tax bills. Skyrocketing land prices in City Centre have forced longtime businesses to stomach property tax bill increases of 107 per cent since 2005, according to the city’s finance department. The new bylaw makes some properties eligible for a 20 per cent reduction in assessed value—bringing down the tax increase to 66 per cent. Andrew Nazareth, head of finance at city hall, called the new tax rate “more reasonable,” while Coun. Greg Halsey-Brandt called it “nice, but it’s not great.”

Up to 40 City Centre properties are eligible for the tax break, according to city staff. It will be offered each year until 2016. Coun. Ken Johnston said in some cases the tenant of a building is suffering under the high taxes—not the landowner. “I think it’s trying to put equity and fairness in a system where, especially the tenants, had no control over,” he said. Final adoption of the bylaw is expected July 11. Staff will offer details of the bylaw at a public meeting at city hall July 6 at 4 p.m. — by Matthew Hoekstra

No leaders’ debate on HST by Jeff Nagel Black Press Premier Christy Clark has turned down a challenge from NDP leader Adrian Dix to a one-onone debate on the harmonized sales tax. Dix accused Clark of so far avoiding debate on the issue and proposed a debate on CKNW. “When she had a chance to debate the HST in the legislature she shut proceedings down just before she was due to speak,” Dix said. “I’m inviting her to do the right thing and participate in this forum.” He said the B.C. Liberals under Clark are heading a partisan campaign to sell the HST to voters who decide the fate of the tax in this summer’s mail-in referendum. “We won’t be playing those games,” Clark responded in a statement issued by her staff, adding voters need to make the HST decision on the merits of the policy, not a debate of leaders. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon, meanwhile, tried to highlight two other leaders—the Greens’ Jane Sterk and BC Conservatives’ John Cummins —for their support of the ‘No’ side to keep the HST in place. Referendum ballots are expected to be delivered by July 7.

Rude, discourteous driving on the rise 55 per cent of poll respondents say drivers getting worse by Jeff Nagel Black Press It’s getting uglier on the roads, according to an opinion survey of B.C. motorists conducted for the Insurance Corporation of B.C. Fifty-ﬁve per cent of Lower Mainland residents believe drivers in their community have become less courteous over the past ﬁve years, the Ipsos Reid survey found. Forty per cent said it’s about the same while just three per cent thought drivers are more courteous. ICBC psychologist John Vavrik said rude, discourteous driving can trigger road rage incidents. “Aggressive or careless driving such as cutting off other drivers, speeding, tailgating, talking on cellphones and not using proper signals is almost always what incites road rage,” Vavrik said. “While road delays play a part in adding to driving stress, it’s the behaviour of other drivers that leads to the greatest frustration.”

He said the heated emotions that result can impair a driver’s ability to concentrate, react and make smart driving decisions, putting them at increased risk of crashing. On balance, those surveyed gave their fellow drivers a C letter grade for courteous driving, while residents in the rest of B.C. gave their local drivers a C+. Most drivers denied they’re the problem. A large majority gave themselves either an A or B grade for driving courtesy. “There’s a clear disconnect between how drivers perceive their own driving behaviours and the reality of their driving,” Vavrik said. The single biggest peeve? Drivers who signal late or not at all—an infraction experienced by 82 per cent of those surveyed in the last three months. Seventy-one per cent reported being tailgated, 68 per cent said other drivers refused to let them merge or change lanes and half said they’d been cut off. Less common grievances were drivers who honk horns, yell, make obscene gestures, wave arms or ﬁsts, ﬂash lights or steal your parking spot. Two per cent reported another

Nobody admitted to doing that but 30 per cent admitted to honking in anger over the past three months and between 10 and 20 per cent said they’ve yelled, blocked a merging car, tailgated or failed to correctly signal in recent months. Ninety-four per cent say they acknowledge with a wave when another driver is courteous. Most of those surveyed said they believe their wave in turn encourages others to be more courteous. Two-thirds said it’s important to them that other drivers acknowledge their courtesy, but the rest said it’s not that important. The online survey polled 899 adult B.C. drivers.

Warning letters in mail help get word out about distracted driving by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A group of volunteers who work out of the South Arm Community Police Station are doing their part to get local drivers to smarten up for safety’s sake. While most people frown at the thought of drivers texting on their phones as they drive, there are plenty of other things drivers do every day that are punishable by hefty fines, according to Richmond Block Watch’s Wendy Milford. Take drinking one’s coffee as an example. Or reading a map while behind the wheel. And even drivers with a pet sitting in their lap. All are examples of distracted driving. Last week, volunteers Jason Lee, J.B. Burgos and Priscilla Shiu were spying on driver behaviour in downtown Richmond, with the hope that warning letters will get locals to smarten up. Locals are being alerted to their bad driving behaviour via a letter they receive in the mail. Last month alone, 778 such letters were issued at 21 Speed Watch deployments, bringing the total to more than 2,000 warning letters for the first five months of 2011. “Please note that if you had been ticketed for this offence by a police officer you may have been required to pay the following fines,” the letter reads, and then refers to fines of between $109 and $368. Last week, Shiu spotted one driver reading a map, two others texting while behind the wheel, and three drinking their coffee, all in the span of 26 minutes. Lee and Burgos jotted down licence plate numbers of several vehicles seen exceeding the speed limit in the 30-kilometre zone, including a Fastfrate truck clocked at 81 km/h. The letters are sent to the registered owner of each vehicle, and they are told the warning won’t be a part of any permanent record.

Martin van den Hemel photo J.B. Burgos, Jason Lee and Priscilla Shiu conduct a distracted driver public awareness session near Alderbridge and Cedarbridge ways. They caught one rumbling truck going 81 km/h in a 30 km/hour zone. Aside from speeding, three drivers were spotted drinking coffee, two were seen texting and another was shifting his focus between a map and his steering wheel.

Westwind students ﬁnd love for the spud School project produced potato crop by Don Fennell Staff Reporter It may be a simple spud to some, but the potato is a source of great pride for a group of students at Westwind Elementary. The kids, who just graduated from grades 5 and 6, spent the last couple months of the school year growing the tuber. “It was even easier and better than we expected,” said teacher Patti Fluker, whose class applied for and received a Spuds in the Tubs kit from Agriculture B.C. “We also put in pumpkins earlier, but they didn’t do that well.” Each day, the kids meticulously cared for the plants, while making sure not to overwater them. Encouraged by their success, the kids also held an assembly for their peers encouraging them to join in the fun. At least one other class did, sharing in the joy of growing not only potatoes but also chives, carrots, lettuce and strawberries. “Not only have the kids loved it, but they’ve learned where their food comes from and how sustain a little for themselves,” said Fluker. “And of course there are lots of ways you can use this project in courses like math and science.” The kids were able to enjoy the fruits of their labour during the final few days of classes. On one of the days they boiled the potatoes and enjoyed them with butter and chives. On another day they picked the lettuce which formed the basis of a salad. The average Canadian eats 65 kilograms of potatoes per year, According to a 2008 Canadian government report.

Don Fennell photo Grade 5/6 Westwind Elementary students Sarah Marcoe, Ryan Hung, Aliana Santiago and Madi Sherrett enjoy the potatoes they helped to grow as part of their class’s participation in the Spuds in Tubs project.

EDITORIAL: Remembering Milan Ilich

or a man who didn’t like the spotlight very much, Milan Ilich was very much a star when it came to making Richmond a better place.

Ilich passed away this week after a long illness. In the business community, he was known for his Progressive group of companies, which have played a big factor in the development of Richmond over the past few decades. Ilich has also been a friend to the sports community. He stepped up and bought the old Vancouver 86ers soccer team when it was facing ﬁnancial troubles. While he later sold the team, he saved the day for the 86ers and the franchise has since evolved into the Vancouver Whitecaps. He also invested in the interest in sports led him to invest in the Vancouver Giants junior hockey team. But Ilich’s greatest impact has been in giving back to the community. For years, he has generously helped to support various community projects. Caring Place wouldn’t have been

built had it not been for Ilich’s support. A $1 million donation from the Maureen and Milan Ilich Foundation kicked off a fundraising campaign in 2007 that led to the Richmond Hospital acquiring a new Magnetic Resonance Imaging machine and

CT scanner, both located inside the medical imaging centre named in their honour. Our hospital would be a lot less functional were not for Milan and his wife Maureen. Through all his philanthropic work, Ilich retained a humble nature and

never overlooked the little guys. Last year, he and his wife’s foundation gifted $15,000 to the families left homeless due to a Knightsbridge townhouse ﬁre. He will be greatly missed for his quiet contributions that resonated loudly.

t’s berry season, and I’m seeing lots of fruit stands popping up around the edge of the city. Families are stocking up for jam making and to freeze for the winter. But, do people know exactly what they’re buying? There’s an issue about our farms here in Richmond that needs to be aired. On a weekly basis, I get e-mails from individuals, buying groups, and companies asking for organic fruits and vegetables. They contact the Richmond Food Security Society since we publish a local food guide on our website. It’s with great sadness that I have to turn them away and send them into the valley. Why? Richmond does not have one single certified organic vegetable or berry farm. Does that surprise you? It might, since many small growers along Blundell

and Granville advertise their product as “organic.” Not only is that not true, it’s highly unethical. Organic growers have to go through stringent processes to prove that they manage their farms organically. Their farms are inspected at least twice a year, a buffer has to be grown so that no sprays come in from nearby farms, and they have to keep every single scrap of paper to show what inputs were purchased and how soil fertility and pest management was practiced. The cost of certification is high both in time and money. But for those farms who are willing to go through the process, I can be rest assured that someone has checked up on them. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for some of our local farms. Watching the practises of our blueberry growers, for instance, I can say without hesitation that there is not one blueberry grower in the McLennan area that does not have either Round-up and/or a fungicide sprayed on their fields. And yet, I still see the term “unsprayed” on farm signs. What does that mean? Often, the farmer is implying that the berries themselves have not been sprayed. But, if you ask them what they use for weed control, or if any fungicide or insecticide was used prior to flowering, you often get…silence. It’s the dirty little secret that we’ve all turned a blind eye to. And it’s not fair.

It’s strawberry season, but Richmond does not have one single organic vegetable or berry farm. I would love to see more organic farms in Richmond where I could trust that what is claimed is actually true. I can’t understand why more growers would not want to convert to organic. The price for local, organic strawberries is $5/lb and I’m stocking up at the Oak Street Farmers market. About a year ago, I noticed that Nature’s Path Foods was looking to purchase about a million pounds of certified organic blueberries. Their offices are here in Richmond and their processing plant is in Delta. Where did they end up getting their blueberries? Eastern

Canada. What was the dollar value that local blueberry growers lost out on (and continue to lose)? $2.7 million per year. What will it take to turn this around? It’s hard to say. Maybe a new generation of farmer willing to put in some time and effort to grow sustainably? But, we as consumers certainly need to know what our money is supporting. And right now, it’s not supporting pesticidefree food.

EET SWJUICY&

Editor: Adrian Pollard of Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation wrote in a letter that “The rigorous provincial and federal environmental assessment process, which includes the City of Richmond and Richmond Fire Department, will ensure the project provides a safe and environmentally responsible solution to serve the airport ...” This quote implies that Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation is implementing recommendations made by Richmond Fire-Rescue, but actually that could not be further from the truth. Richmond Fire-Rescue told me it would not be receiving any additional resources from Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation. Jet fuel fires cannot be fought with water and require foam. Richmond Fire-Rescue also indicated that due to the location of the Marine Terminal, it would take more than nine minutes to respond, double its standard response time. Richmond Fire-Rescue also indicated that in order to tackle a fire where up to 80 million litres of jet fuel was being stored, would likely require most of the on-duty staff from across Richmond. Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation is under no obligation to implement any of the city’s recommendations. The icing on the cake is that in the event of a fire at Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation’s marine terminal or

80-million-litre tank farm, it would be the Richmond taxpayer who gets to pick up the bill. On March 24 there was a fire a Miami International Airport’s tank farm apparently caused by a fuel pump. The fire was so hot that it melted a 250,000 gallon fire suppression system before it could deploy. The fire took hours to extinguish with airport firefighting foam trucks and the fire department stated it was one of the worse fires it had experienced. Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation’s plan would be to dump this risk onto the Richmond community that is not equipped to properly deal with an emergency of this potential. Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation is also a non-profit entity meaning that they would incur the lowest level of liability to cover damages to people and property. Pollard also states: “The operational areas of the marine terminal are more than a half-kilometer away from the condo complex... This separation does not pose a significant risk to residents of this complex.” According to the Google Earth measurement tool, the marine terminal land is 350 metres from the closest condo building. In addition to the threat of jet fuel vapour and fire, the condos are located downstream from the marine terminal and any fuel spill on the river would reach them almost instantly due to

the proximity and containment difficulties caused by the flow of the river. As per Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation’s own risk assessment, we can expect an almost 6,000 litre spill every six years and 117,000 litre spill every 32 years. This is completely unacceptable! On April 28, Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation requested and received a 120-day extension from the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office to explore the feasibility of changing the proposed pipeline to follow the Highway 99 right-of-way instead of through residential communities as it stands now. Really?! Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation has been working on this proposal for years and they just now figured that maybe it would better to run a pipeline down the rarely dug up right-of-way to the instead of the commonly dug up (by comparison) residential communities!? I understand YVR’s need for fuel expansion. However, I want the approved fuel delivery system option to be responsible and the currently proposed marine terminal is not it. A more responsible option would be a pipeline from Cherry Point refinery to YVR to keep fuel tankers out the Fraser River estuary. Scott Carswell Richmond

Gateway says thanks Editor: Thank you for Wednesday’s spread by Amanda Oye of Gateway Theatre’s annual fundraising “pARTy” and for reporting on the vitality of the arts and artists in our community. Not only is there a ravenous appetite for a variety of canvases and sculptures but there is a genuine commitment by artists to support each other to sustain this vital sector of our local economy. All the artists donated their work so the theatre could raise funds for upcoming shows. Gateway’s board, staff and volunteers used their creativity, innovation and skills to produce a unique event that will no doubt be the highlight of upcoming seasons. But expertise aside, they gave freely from their hearts and put the “fun” in fundraising. To all the restaurateurs, wineries, caterers, volunteers, media and artists, you accomplished more than just a positive fundraiser. You contributed to doing what the arts do best. You brought members of our community together to celebrate and support each other. And we are stronger for it.

letters Seniors are the most dedicated voters around Editor: As I read the account of the seniors’ rally at city council (Richmond Review, June 29), I found myself rereading one paragraph with a complete sense of unreality. “Chief administrative ofﬁcer George Duncan told council that staff have now been instructed to no longer lower the project’s priority rank, adding staff will ‘very soon’ present a new timeline for the city’s top capital projects.” Oh boy, now I begin to under-

stand why this administration has been such a disaster. If subordinate staff are supposedly allowed to re-rank ﬁnancial projects, what are the senior (overpaid) bureaucrats and/or council doing to earn their daily stipend? In my working life, for a time I served in the federal government as a minor bureaucrat, if you wanted a quick and unlamented route to oblivion and probably unemployment, just try to alter any of the priorities that were handed

to you by the senior staff! Perhaps the Brodie Bunch could stop contemplating their navels, planning for the next election, and patting themselves on the back and come up with a more creditable explanation for this whole ﬁasco! Don’t ever forget that seniors are the most dedicated voters around, and a cynical brush off such as this could lead a whole bunch of them to re-align their votes! T.R. Murphy Richmond

from hardneck garlic, then curl. Garlic growers remove scapes in the spring in order to send more energy into the garlic bulb. For too long, scapes were discarded, but as garlic lovers know, they are a versatile culinary treasure and, thankfully, growers now sell bundles of these mild garlic tasting tender shoots. The scape is edible, from end to end. It is tender and also has a somewhat “green” taste much like scallions or asparagus. I use them in soups, salads, stews, salsas, dips, guacamole, omelettes, frittatas, marinades, pesto, salad dressings, sauces, and stir-fries. They can be pickled and added to homemade ﬂavored vinegars. They also freeze well.

The champions in the under-U14, under-16 and under-18 categories will qualify to compete at the BMO National Club Championships, organized by the Canadian Soccer Association, which take place in October. “It’s a great honour for us to be hosting such a prestigious weekend of soccer and we would like to

thank everyone who has put in a lot of time and effort to make this happen,” said Stewart MacPherson, Richmond Soccer Association director of operations. “ We hope that the local soccer community comes out to support the events and participating teams.” Added B.c. Soccer competitions co-chair Don Dancey: “It’s a very exciting weekend of soccer for the participating teams especially with the straight final format and the chance of representing BC at the National Club Championships for under-14, under-16 and under-18 teams.”

Clive Clarke hopes to coach the Richmond Red Hot Selects to a Provincial A Cup title Saturday.

Endorsed by both the Richmond girls’ and boys’ soccer associations, the camps are divided into four different age groups: four- to six-year-olds, seven- and eight-year-olds, eight- to 10-year-olds, and 11-and 12-year-olds. “The camp has a lot of beginner students, and for many it is their ﬁrst experience playing the beautiful game,” said Quinn.

“In the older classes we get a mixture of new players intermediate players and experienced players and we make it work,” he added. “Quite often the stronger players actually learn a lot by teaching the less experienced players how to do various skills they themselves have already conquered. It becomes a win-win situation.” Each Friday we ﬁnish with a mini world cup with players representing different countries.” Registration is ongoing. sign up weekdays at 604276-4300 or in person at the West Richmond Community Centre, 9180 No. 1 Rd. For more information on the camps call 604238-8400.

Kids flocking to Palmer Hockey Academy Still space for September start by Don Fennell Sports Editor For most Canadians, hockey is more than just a game. It’s part of our culture and heritage. A reflection of where we live and who we are. Some will argue Canadians take the game too seriously. But the passion is only growing. It used to be that nearly every Canadian boy grew up dreaming of playing in the NHL. Now the girls share similar aspirations. And as competition for playing time and recognition grows, especially at the youth level, so does the desire for more ice time and instruction. Much of the latter is being filled by a wave of new hockey academies sweeping across the country. While private businesses make up the majority of the academies, the R.C. Palmer Hockey Academy, which will debut this September, is one of a growing number of public schools offering programs. “We saw a need in the community to meet the needs of kids in hockey,” said Richard Steward, principal at Palmer Secondary. “So much of the time their practices are odd hours, early in the morning or late at night, and that’s tough on them. With our schedule, because we have a fixed block every

other day all year, it ﬁts into the regular school day and they can get quality instruction. It also allows them to do some other things like homewor or have a job.” Sixteen students, in grades 8 to 11, are currently enrolled for the 2011-12 school year. There is space for a maximum 30 students. Cost is $2,900 per year. “I expect at least a few more kids to sign up for this year,” Steward said. “We then expect to retain a reasonable number, if not all, while adding more students in the second year (to reach capacity).” The majority of the students are from Richmond, including Joel Murga who played last season at the Burnaby Winter Club. “I thought it would be a great opportunity to start working out with friends again, and developing more (skills),” said Murga. “I think it’s going to make me a stronger player because there is always room for more improvement.” Owen Seidel, who also played at the Burnaby Winter Club last season, said the added hard work and commitment will only help him in his quest to make it to the NHL. “Hockey is my life,” he said. “But you don’t go anywhere without hard work.” “It’ll be good for ﬁtness and stuff, while also allowing me to get a good education,” added Tyler Shugrue. Kaelan Baker is one of two girls enrolled in the academy. She played last season in the Richmond Girls’ Ice Hockey Association.

Don Fennell photo Students and staff in the new R.C. Palmer Hockey Academy sported the new Grifﬁns jerseys Friday at the Richmond Ice Centre. The program starts in September.

“I wanted to get serious about hockey and with this I feel can really strengthen myself as a player,” she said. Glenn Wheeler is the head coach of the Paciﬁc Elite Hockey School, which will provide the coaching services for the Palmer Hockey Academy. A former junior player in Belleville, Ont., Wheeler is a certiﬁed coach with over 15 years experience in skills development and

power skating and has trained players from beginners to pro throughout the world. “Ice is at such a premium right now with skill development, training, and things like that,” said Wheeler. “And come the winter we don’t necessarily have outdoor rinks because of the climate. Back east kids are playing two to three hours a day on the outdoor

rink and then going to their recreation and travelling teams. Out here, you’re subject to what you get through your minor hockey association and there aren’t enough rinks as it is in Richmond, or B.C. for that matter. A lot of these kids maybe get four to four-and-a-half hours a week and that’s it. It’s why there’s been such a growth in skill development.”

Just back from Spain, where she played her fourth year of pro basketball, Richmond’s Breanne Watson took a detour on her way home to play in Hoopfest in Spokane, Wash. Gearing up for the annual Dolphin Park Classic, a fouron-four playground tournament set for July 15 to 17 at Thompson Community Centre, Watson (who played her college ball at the University of Washington) teamed with Lindsey Wilson (Iowa State), Casey Bunn (Oregon State)

and Amy Taylor (Seattle Paciﬁc) to defend their Elite Division women’s championship featuring ex-WNA and U.S. NCAA stars. Hoopfest is the largest outdoor three-on-three basketball tournament in the world. This year there were over 27,000 participants, 4,300 teams, and 450 courts. Most of downtown streetsin Spokane were shut down to vehicle trafﬁc. “We were there supporting Breanne but were just two of the 50,000 spectators,” laughed Watson’s dad, Brent. “They were great games and Breanne’s team went unde-

feated in six games, winning the ﬁnal 20-17. All the games went to 20 points.” Watson and her teammates defeated an all-Montana team in the ﬁnal that included a sixfoot-four former NCAA Allamerican and professional player. The game drew more than 3,000 spectators. Watson was named tournament, MVP of the tournament. After playing in the Dolphin Park Classic, Watson will rejoin her three-on-three team in August in Los Angeles as they attempt to defend their LA Nike championship.

Retirement to Richmond B. C. not only brought many new friends, but enabled Rose to pursue her joy of flower gardening. She leaves to mourn, her loving family, Elsie Bell, Evelyn Mackin (Bill), Maxine Deck (Luke) and Karen Hanevich (Harold). Mum was so proud of her 8 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandson. She will also be fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews. Rose was predeceased by her first husband John and second husband Arnie, her daughter Joan Star, and sons-in-law Jerry Erber, Allan Bell and Bill Star. A celebration of this long life will be held on Saturday, July 2 at 2:00 P. M. at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 6340 Number 4 Road, Richmond. If so desired, memorial tributes may be made to a charity of your choice.

Marquardt makes mark with Canada’s eight Rowing veteran confident as crew readies for World Cup in Switzerland Veteran Canadian rower Darcy Marquardt of Richmond was impressed with the quality of competition after two days of the Koninklijke Hollard Beker near Amsterdam. It was in this Netherlands city than several Canadian crews, including Marquardt’s women’s eight, looked strong as they gear up for the World Cup in Switzerland on July 8. “The quality of our event made this a good benchmark to start our summer racing season,” said Marquardt, who is joined on this year’s eight by Lesley Thompson-Willie (London, Ont.), Ashley Brzozowicz (London, Ont.), Krista Guloien (Port Moody), Janine Hanson (Winnipeg), Natalie Mastracci (Thorold, Ont.), Andreanne Morin (Montreal, Que.), Cristy Nurse (Georgetown, Ont.) and Rachelle Viinberg (Regina).

The Canadian women’s eight again ﬁnished second (6:11.99) to the Dutch (6:07.58). A British crew was off the pace in 06:28.90. Dave Calder of Victoria and Scott Frandsen of Kelowna won the men’s pair event again today, in a time of 6:26.19 (2,000 metres). Dutch crews were second (6:31.19) and third (6:35.22) in this ﬁnal. Calder and Frandsen were on top of the podium yesterday as well. “It was a great starting point and good to be back racing side by side; we know what we’re going to work on heading into the World Cup in Lucerne,” said Frandsen, 2008 Olympic silver medalist with Calder in the pair. “Beijing was our last international race together, so we have high expectations on ourselves,” said Calder. “The reality is that

we have to take things one step at a time in order to slowly work our speed back to a high standard.” Last year, Calder rowed in the men’s eight, and Frandsen was not competing internationally. “It was a fun racing atmosphere this weekend and served as a nice distraction during our acclimatization here in Europe,” said their coach, Terry Paul. “The real work is in the next two weeks in preparation for the World Cup.” In the exciting men’s four ﬁnal today, Canada’s lightweight men’s four was a close second to a heavyweight crew from the Netherlands (05:53.87) in 05:54.58. Canada’s men’s eight chose to remain in Canada this week, but will join the others leading up to the World Cup in Lucerne July 8.

Locals gearing up for busy summer with elite lacrosse touring teams It promises to be a busy summer for several Richmond ﬁeld lacrosse players, who will accompany their Burnaby Mountain elite development teams to several recruiting tournaments. Jon Bailey, Brad Hoffmann, Nick Jensen, Josh Kelly, Dylan Miller, Cooper Yates and four members of the Sahota family—

Jonah, Mark, Matt and Parker, will play for their respective travel squads set to play in events in Colorado, Maryland and New York. During the tournament, players will also receive organized tours of NCAA Division 1 college campuses and enjoy local sites and attractions. Co-head coach of the

Burnaby Mountain Lacrosse Elite Development Program, Brent Hoskins (also co-head coach of the Simon Fraser University men’s lacrosse team) said the goal of the program is to follow the same collegiate template as the Simon Fraser University men’s lacrosse program, with the objective of best preparing

young student-athletes to play at the collegiate level. The under-13 and under-15 elite teams kicked off the Selects’ 2011 summer tournament schedule in Denver, Col. June 22 to 27, competing at the University of Denver Pioneers Team Camp. The four-day event featured a clinic attended by NCAA

coaches In July, the junior Selects will travel to Syracuse, New York, to compete at the Syracuse University Summer Shootout July 5 to 10. The Shootout is hosted by Orange head coach John Desko and the men’s lacrosse coaching staff of the 11-time NCAA national champion Syracuse University. The tour-

nament will provide elite teams from across North America with the opportunity to compete in front of college coaches in attendance from many of the NCAA’s top lacrosse programs, said Hoskins. Two weeks later, the senior elite team will conclude the 2011 summer season with a trip to Baltimore, Mary-

land, compete in the nationally-renowned Champ Camp July 19 to 26. Teams are selected to compete by invitation only, with an emphasis on assembling the top high school aged club teams in North America. Burnaby Mountain is the only program to be selected from Western Canada in tournament history.

Anthia Chen, a Grade 12 Steveston-London Secondary student, received a $1,000 scholarship award from Mayor Malcolm Brodie at city hall Monday for her winning design in the city’s 2041 ofﬁcial community plan student art contest. Chen’s artwork will be used on the cover of the planning document, expected to be completed next year. Anna Toth, a Grade 11 J.N. Burnett Secondary student, won a $500 second-place prize for her artwork, which will be included inside the document. Riley Turner (centre) will entertain the crowds at the 2011 Steveston Salmon Festival Canada Day Parade from a boat built in Richmond by his grandfather Dan Parker. For the third year in a row, Riley and other members of Parker’s family will try to catch “the big one” (a giant stuffed ﬁsh) from a Monaro brand boat during the parade. Monaro Marine is celebrating 35 years of building custom power boats.

Last week’s River Green on the Green golf tournament raised nearly $100,000 for the Richmond Hospital Foundation. The sold-out June 23 event, at QGolf Club, beneﬁted the foundation’s $1.5 million operating room campaign. It will purchase sophisticated new cutting-edge surgery equipment. The highlight of the evening was the Helicopter Golf Ball Drop. Participants watched from the clubhouse deck as a helicopter ﬂew over the 9th hole to drop 1,500 golf balls from the sky.
