“It’s sad to see him go,” Vander Zalm told The Richmond Review this week. “He will be long remembered, and we can be very proud of having known Milan Ilich.” Ilich and Vander Zalm first met when Vander Zalm and his wife Lillian first became involved with Fantasy Gardens back in 1984. “He was among the first to drop by and wish us well, and said if there was BILL VANDER anything he could assist with, he would,” ZALM Vander Zalm said. “He was a very generous guy and always contributed to the party as well,” he said. While Ilich worked on Vander Zalm’s campaign and was a financial contributor, he never asked for any favours, he noted. “He was down to earth, very friendly, very optimistic,” Vander Zalm said of the reclusive Ilich, who avoided the spotlight as much as possible, even

as the groups he supported asked him to appear at their events so they could properly thank him in person. “If we had more of that happening, we’d be living in a far happier country,” Vander Zalm said of Ilich’s generosity and commitment to giving back to the community that made him so successful. Vander Zalm said it wasn’t all fun and games for Ilich, who along with other local developers, went through some difficult times during the early 1980s. “It’s not all like it was a bed of roses. He worked hard for it.” Ilich believed Richmond had a rosy future. “All of us, including me, as we go through Richmond now, and we remember what it was like in the ’60s and ’70s, we think why didn’t we pick
up a piece of property? “He did invest in Richmond. He obviously had the foresight to realize this was where it was going to happen.” Coun. Evelina Halsey-Brandt was among those who opposed Ilich’s plans to redevelop Terra Nova. Though they fought for opposite sides, her respect for Ilich grew in its aftermath. Ilich came to city council and asked what would make politicians feel better. And even though he wasn’t required to do so under the original rezoning proposal, Ilich put in social housing and expanded park space. “He bent over backwards to make as many compromises as he could. That was an impressive thing.” And though Ilich previously supported Halsey-Brandt’s campaign, her opposition to the rezoning of
Terra Nova didn’t change his financial support. Halsey-Brandt described Ilich as “genuinely a nice person...an astute business person.” She added: “He never made you think you weren’t his equal.” Ilich’s funeral is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. at the Richmond Funeral Home, 8420 Cambie Rd. It will be followed by a reception. Ilich, 76, died June 29 following a 14-month battle with a rapidly progressing form of leukemia. He is survived by his wife Maureen, children Laurie and Rick, five grandchildren and seven siblings. In lieu of flowers, the Ilich family requested a donation be made in his memory to the Vancouver General Hospital’s leukemia program or Canadian Blood Services.

Gene Simmons to wax on about life, money at River Rock tonight born. It’s all of a sudden, it was this kind of epiphany. It ain’t about me, it’s about them.” Simmons said men are 14-or 15-year-olds for their entire lives. “No matter how old you get, there’s that little boy inside whose selfish and wants to cause trouble.” After relating some financial advice, Simmons will bring out his family, who will do more than just sit on the stage. “We intend on getting off stage, and walking into the audience, all four of us, so that
KISS legend and family to take show into audience by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter
F
ans of the brooding man behind the demonic tonguewagging bassist and vocalist of the 1970s hard rock band KISS, will never get a better chance to get up close and personal with him. Gene Simmons will be at River Rock Show Theatre tonight (8 p.m. Friday, July 22) for a one-of-a-kind show, highlighted by his family’s appearance not just on stage, but in the audience, where they’ll be taking questions from those in attendance. He will be joined by his partner of 28 years, Shannon Tweed, and their two children, Nicholas and Sophie, who together star in the reality TV series, Gene Simmons Family Jewels, currently in its sixth season on A&E. Simmons will spend the first half-hour of the show sharing his financial wisdom, and waxing philosophical about life, before bringing his family on stage with him. Simmons was convinced to come to River Rock by Great Canadian Gaming vice-president Howard Blank, despite the fact he’s still shooting his TV show and performing with KISS, which is currently at the tail end of a North American tour that will see him in Montreal on Sunday. Blank pitched the idea of having Simmons on stage at River Rock, alongside his family. “That’s not going to happen, Howard,” Simmons said Thursday morning from River Rock, after flying in on Wednesday evening. “We’ve never done anything like this and I don’t know if I want to put my family up to that." Blank kept calling, and Simmons said the idea became more palatable because of the family’s vacation home in Whistler, where the kids—who thanks to Canadian Tweed carry dual Canada-U.S. citizenship—love spending their time. “Clearly what everybody wants to do is meet the charming part of the family, not the tall, dark, brooding guy.” Simmons and Tweed recently appeared on CNN’s The Joy Behar Show, where Tweed

walked off, upset about Simmons’ philandering ways. That was not a publicity stunt for their TV show, he said. “I’m crazy about this girl, and I’m certainly not a saint. And anyone you love and care for, is worth fighting for. And that means as a man, I have to do something that we men don’t do, which is to be introspective, and confront myself...because men feel entitled, we’re selfish, we’re arrogant about it, we don’t want anybody to tell us what to do, where you go... “And after 28 years and two wonderful kids, it’s probably time for me to grow up, don’t you think?” he said. “There’s no better drill sergeant than Shannon Tweed. I would urge any guy who wants to set his life in order, get yourself a Newfie gal, she’ll whip you into shape, real fast.”
Simmons said he’s still mending fences with Tweed. “Big fences, my fences, nobody else’s. But it ain’t easy. I’ve got a lot of baggage.” But is change possible? “I sure hope so.” Is this a different phase in his life? “When I was a kid, I never imagined I’d do things, ‘Oh, I’ll never do that,’ but then when you grow up, you do stuff. I never imagined I’d be with one girl 28 years, much less have kids, but then I did do that. And life for me as an only child has always been about me, me, me.” His mother referred to him as King, and when friends called and he was in the washroom, she’d say the King was on the throne. “All this kind of privileged upbringing makes a guy kind of arrogant when he grows up. Everything changed when Nick and Sophie were
anything you want to talk about is face-toface without the big stage and the bodyguards getting in the way. We’d like to take the action right to people’s faces.” Asked how he musters the energy to shoot a TV show, perform concerts and then do corporate events, Simmons said: “I’ve never been drunk or high in my life.” Simmons gave a preview of his show and his philosophy. “I’m the pest exterminator. I come into your house, and I get rid of all the crap around you so that your life is easier. Or like the guy who works you out, so you lose those extra pounds and actually are more able to lead a successful life,” he said. “We’re all financially fat, which is we have extra pounds of fat around us, which means we throw all kinds of stupid money around, which means we don’t have enough money ever.” The solution? Jettison the insignificant things that eat up time, money and effort, so that the money is used for the important things: health, security and all that kind of stuff, he said. “I’ve shown people at these Rich and Famous symposiums...how to double their money in a year, without changing their life, without getting another job, without moving. It’s just prioritizing.” And Simmons has come to the realization that his family is his priority. Tickets to tonight’s show, $49.50 to $149.50, at ticketmaster.ca or 1 -855-9855000.
Pet owners report rash of raccoon attacks on cats by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Sara Dubois still can’t believe that raccoons in Richmond are attacking and eating cats. “I’d literally have to see it to believe it,” said the manager of wildlife services for the B.C. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. While raccoons and cats are known to fight, raccoons aren’t aggressive by nature, and she’s never heard of them acting in a predatory fashion like coyotes, which hunt and stalk their prey before eating it.
Nicole Thibault said her 17-yearold cat Kokanee was attacked by two raccoons early Saturday morning at the family’s Springthorne Crescent home. Nicole’s mother, Wendy, heard her male Siamese cat’s distinctive cries around 5:30 a.m., and walked out to the carport, where two raccoons were fighting with Kokanee. Using a garden hose to try to fend off the raccoons, they eventually scurried away, but carried the fight with Kokanee into the dark. Kokanee’s body was never found. Three days earlier on Wednesday, July 13, Nicole’s friend, Tara-Lee Lovo, found the family’s cat had
apparently gotten into a skirmish with a raccoon, which chewed up its hind legs. The cat was brought to the vet, but later died. Letter-to-the-editor writer Bryn Nixon detailed how four raccoons were seen eating the lifeless body of their cat right before their eyes on the evening of Sunday, July 3. Cats and raccoons can fight over food, but SPCA’s Dubois said they’re just as likely to sit side-byside to share a meal. Raccoons are known as scavengers, and are erroneously blamed for killing an animal by people who see them hunched over an animal’s carcass, she said.
“I have an indoor cat for a reason.” - Sara Dubois
University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Stephen Vantassel, who runs its Internet Centre for Wildlife Damage Management, said raccoons can aggressively go after live prey, and has seen the aftermath of a raccoon reaching into a metal cage and pulling out a trapped squirrel. But most predators don’t go after prey that are about the same size,
as is the case between raccoons and cats, he said. University of B.C. zoology lecturer Wayne Goodey, who researches animal behaviour, agreed. While they’d prefer better sources of protein, it’s unlikely the omnivorous raccoons are turning en masse toward cats. But Goodey said the step from scavenging a dead cat’s carcass to killing one for food is a small one. Dubois said the best advice is for cat owners to keep their animals inside. “I have an indoor cat for a reason,” Dubois said.

City pushes ahead with its carbon neutral goal But SFU professor says B.C.-led initiative should be scrapped by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond is pushing forward to become carbon neutral by 2012, but an energy expert suggests the province-led idea should be scrapped. Simon Fraser University Mark Jaccard said Wednesday B.C. should abandon
its goal of creating a carbon neutral public sector. A paper penned by Jaccard and research associate Brad Griffin encourages the government to instead focus on extending its carbon tax, which the researchers say currently targets only three-quarters of B.C.’s greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving carbon neutral status, and having net zero carbon emissions, often requires offsets—paying someone else to reduce future emissions by investing in energy efficiency or planting trees. “The carbon offset industry claims that these purported emissions reduc-
Discover Terra Nova’s hidden gem By Linda Barnes Our Australian houseguest came back from his bike ride and exclaimed “G’day mate! What’s that place past Linda Barnes the golf course Councillor where the dyke curves? It’s a beaut!” Well he’s talking about Terra Nova Rural Park of course! It was the centre of controversy back in the late ‘80s and the subject of a spending referendum in the ‘90s. The park was officially opened in 2005 and has won numerous national and provincial awards. It is home to demonstration gardens and programs to introduce school-aged children to planting, growing and harvesting, as well as educational, agricultural and environmental courses. Despite all these things, Terra Nova is still one of Richmond’s least known parks! Currently the over 100-acre park is divided into two main areas. South is the natural area where dogs can roam on a leash. This is also a resting place for over 142 species of birds. North is a no dog zone with gardens and heritage areas reflective of Richmond’s agricultural and fishing past. Already in operation are demonstrations around planting, cooking, preserving, organic gardening, composting, healing herbs, cob

oven bread baking and much more. The historic slough has been daylighted—which means the City’s Parks Division expanded and deepened the original slough and filled it with water for future fish habitat. This is reminiscent of Richmond prior to our existing dykes. Further north were two fish canneries, stores and several homesteads. Many buildings remain and are in different restoration phases. They will be refurbished and could possibly become a restaurant, bed and breakfast, live-work spaces or other such uses in the future. Current plans include telling historic stories about the area and the people who lived and worked there. Plans for a major waterfront and play area on the north side will be initiated during 2011. These plans will also connect the waterfront, the Middle Arm Greenway and the parklands behind the dyke. As the City’s Parks Division moves through this process, the public will be invited to participate in many ways. Many interpretive signs are already in the park and my Aussie friend takes great delight in telling Richmondites stories and information about their city that they don’t know themselves. As he says, “it’s a beaut’ and no one knows about it!” Visit Terra Nova Rural Park and find out for yourselves!

tions are real and verified, but we cannot be certain,” said Jaccard in a news release. “Someone is paid for something they would have done anyway... meaning that the offset payment does not cause additional carbon reductions and carbon neutrality is not achieved— although it appears to be.” Jaccard said B.C. should instead focus on extending emissions pricing to what is currently untaxed. Richmond is committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2012, as a signatory to the B.C. Climate Action Charter, a voluntary agreement between the province, Union of B.C. Municipalities and local governments. To get there, Richmond has introduced a green fleet policy, high performance building policy, corporate car-pool program and corporate energy retrofit program. But it has more work to do. According to city spokesperson Kim Decker, the
city will be exploring “additional local initiatives” over the next year. Becoming carbon neutral is the “first step” toward sustainability, suggested Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “We have to bear in mind that carbon neutrality is not the end goal. Community sustainability is the end goal,” he said. “Carbon neutrality is only one facet of it.” Beyond the city’s operations, city council has pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions Richmond-wide by one-third from 2007 levels by 2020. By 2050, it hopes to achieve an 80 per cent emissions reduction—a significant challenge considering civic emissions are just one per cent of community emissions, noted Brodie. “Were going to have to be very aggressive and assertive in moving to it,” he said. “I know we can do it if we set our minds to it, but it’s going to be very difficult indeed.”
Local MLA ranks second in living expenses by Matthew Hoekstra
Social Financial Hardship Assistance
Staff Reporter
Pursuant to Section 24 of the Community Charter:
Richmond Centre MLA Rob Howard recorded the second highest capital city living expenses among MLAs, according to newly released financial statements. The Liberal MLA billed taxpayers $21,718 for living expenses in Victoria, $11,175 in travel costs and earned a salary of $101,859, according to the B.C. Public Accounts 2010/11 report, released by the Ministry of Finance. Only Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm claimed more in capital city living expenses, charging taxpayers $22,877. John Yap, Liberal MLA for Richmond Steveston, charged $16,138 for living expenses and $25,748 for travel. He earned a salary of $133,760, which included a parliamentary secretary bonus and extra salary for his former role as minister of state for climate action. Richmond East MLA Linda Reid expensed $14,812 for living costs and $20,160 for travel. The Liberal MLA earned $138,356, which included a bonus for her role as deputy speaker.

The figures, released Monday, are for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011. Gordon Campbell, B.C.’s premier during the period, recorded $13,410 in capital living expenses and $62,637 in travel costs.
The Chinese Mental Wellness Association of Canada has applied for an interest free loan of $9,000 from the City of Richmond as interim financing due to a cash shortage as a result of delays in receiving funding from external funding agencies.

A Council decision on this matter is anticipated to be made at the regular open Council meeting scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on Monday, July 25, 2011 in Richmond City Hall Council Chambers, 6911 No. 3 Road. For more information please contact the Finance Division at 604-276-4217.

Disabled residents get new freedom thanks to van Milan Ilich helped fund purchase of vehicle by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Jude Evans likes bowling, swimming, movies—and catching the odd Vancouver Giants game. But for the last few years the 42-year-old, who uses a wheelchair to get around, has had to rely on the HandyDART service or a borrowed van—until now. On Wednesday, the Greater Vancouver Community Services Society unveiled a new addition to the driveway of Evans’ Williams Road group home. A new $55,000 van, specially equipped to transport three passengers in wheelchairs, will now allow the home’s six residents, who have profound developmental disabilities, to participate in activities in the community they otherwise wouldn’t be able to. And it wasn’t possible without a little help from the late Milan Ilich, whose life will be celebrated at a funeral service today. The Milan and Maureen Ilich Foundation provided partial funding—and the largest donation—for the vehicle. Now Evans, who has cerebral palsy and other disabilities, will be able to easily visit his mom, who lives in Surrey. It was a trip that wasn’t provided by the HandyDART service, as it involved crossing municipal boundaries. “For quite awhile they weren’t able to see each other, and it also meant that every time we used the vehicle we were pulling from the clients in the other home, so it’s been a juggling act,” said Robin Turnill, chief operating officer of the society. Three years ago, budget constraints left the home without a vehicle. “This is just a tremendous resource for the home,” said society CEO Ron McLeod. “We owe a great debt of gratitude to the Ilich foundation...”

Restaurant closed for a day due to cockroach infestation by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A cockroach infestation forced health officials to close down the Golden Sea City Restaurant, at 145-8360 Granville Ave. at St. Albans Road, on Monday. The restaurant was permitted to reopen on Tuesday afternoon after a thorough cleaning. While there were a number of cleanliness concerns noticed by a health inspector—including the operator’s lack of the use of sanitizers when cleaning— it was the presence of cockroaches that raised alarm bells. “Found cockroaches in varying stages of development at time of inspection,” this week’s inspection report states. “Large amount of cockroaches found around the dim sum preparing area, dishwashing areas as well as the side stainless steel preparation area near the dim sum table. Cockroaches were also found by the bubble tea side of restaurant in multiple cupboards as well as beneath and around the small reach in coolers.” The pests were also found in the drawers where staff kept their personal belongings. “General sanitation in premises is poor which is contributing to the cock-

roach infestation based upon the site inspection.” The restaurant’s primary operator, William Cheung, was ordered to ensure all cockroaches were eliminated and areas of potential contact thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. Monday’s inspection was labelled as routine, but it’s the second such inspection in just over two months. In May, a health inspector also found a cockroach in the dessert and bubble tea section, and ordered the company to contact a professional pest control company. Later in the month, a re-inspection found no pests. But general sanitation continued to be viewed as inadequate.

Departing owner finds his cat a new home
Better Grades Happier Kids Grade 1 - 12 It can start happening today! With Oxford’s personalized programs and low teacher-student ratio, your child will see results almost immediately. - Improved ConÀdence - Higher Self-Esteem
by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Glenn ter Borg will sleep easy in his new home in Brazil, knowing that his beloved cat Tenshi has found a new home. After sharing his story with The Richmond Review, more than a half dozen locals came forward, offering to adopt Tenshi. “It’s all be solved, thanks to your article,” ter Borg wrote. “I weeded some out as they had dogs. One wanted a mouser; Tenshi is too old and fat for that.” Ter Borg screened out several, before landing on a woman he’d met before who works at an extended care home. “She has an old cat, and today Karen came with her cat. We watched the 2 cats together, and we feel that neither will be aggressive. She is more of a cat lover than myself, so although I’m sad to part with Tenshi, I know he has a good home.” Ter Borg is moving to northern Brazil to join his wife, who lives there. He can’t bring Tenshi with him to South America because he doesn’t want to risk losing Tenshi during the grueling 36 hour-long combination of flights, Starting transfers and airport layovers betweenfrom Vancouver and Brazil. $ 50 Ter Borg suffers from Friedreich’s ataxia, a degenerative neurological disorder, and is confined to a wheelchair.

TRAFFIC DELAYS— NO. 6 ROAD, RICHMOND BC Hydro and its contractors will be making improvements to BC Hydro equipment that will require manhole work, and the installation of duct banks (trenches for electrical works) along No. 6 Road in Richmond from Bridgeport Road, south to Westminster Highway.

A summer of cool, wet weather hasn’t kept the crowds away from Richmond’s two outdoor markets, as each are enjoying record attendance. “The weather most deďŹ nitely has not affected the market. It seems to be more in demand than it ever was,â€? said Paula Morimoto, manager of the Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market, now in its fourth year. Regulars keep coming back, but Morimoto said vendors are also noticing plenty of ďŹ rst-time visitors among the up to 5,000 people at each market day. Two Sundays each month, 100 vendors set up shop in Steveston Village, selling baked goods, handicrafts, fresh produce and other items. Vendors popular among the curious include a woman who creates custom succulent planters, a mushroom specialist and an artist who weaves baskets out of kelp.
The momentum might keep the market going through another winter. Last year, for the ďŹ rst time, the summer market moved indoors during winter, drawing up to 2,000 visitors to the Gulf of Georgia Cannery each market day. Meanwhile, in North Richmond, the Summer Night Market—also in its fourth year— is drawing an average of 22,000 people every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, according to organizer Paul Cheung. “This year has been our best yet,â€? Cheung said. “With all the rain—they’re still coming out.â€? Armed with umbrellas and sweaters— and some defying cooler temperatures in short shorts—market-goers are returning regularly for good eats. “Food is obviously the greatest attraction. The people that come tell us that. Even though some of it can be found at restaurants, it just doesn’t taste the same in a restaurant as at an outdoor market,â€? said Cheung. “Vendors have really improved their quality because of the sheer competition.â€? Special events have also been popular, including the market’s grand opening, which the Korean consulate sponsored with a display of their country’s culture. A Filipino Independence Day celebration offered another cultural showcase. See Page 9

Roasted dried squid a hit at market From Page 8 “People are finding out other people’s culture when they come down because of all these diverse cultures that we invite to the market,” said Cheung. “People are having a new experience every time they come down.” One of the market’s 200-plus vendors is Eddy Lee, a four-year food vending veteran. Lee, 32, works side-by-side with his dad selling roasted dried squid, fresh coconuts and bubble tea. “Most of them come back for the squid, because it’s something unique—something different,” said Lee. “It’s like beef jerky, but made from squid.” Lee said business has been good this year, attracting plenty of people willing to spend $3.50 on a bag of specialty squid. “It’s a way to make some money and meet new people. It’s something to do on the weekends,” he said.
Retail vendors have also proven to be popular draws, including those everything from cultural handicrafts to socks and underwear. Vendor Amy Wong, 40, sells clothing and accessories for pets, and beauty products for their human owners. Big sellers for Wong are costumes for canines, including Winnie the Pooh, panda and dinosaur designs. Customers buy them to dress up man’s best friend for Halloween or just to keep their pooches warm. Some pets like wearing the getups—others not so much, Wong admits. Perhaps to the chagrin of dogs resistant to prehistoric-themed threads, business has been brisk, Wong said. “This year there’s more visitors,” she said. “The traffic of people—you don’t see that traffic anywhere. It’s very good for a startup business.”

EDITORIAL: Ilich demonstrated love of humankind

startling announcement this week by the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation proved that philanthropy—even when encouraged with a chance to win a prize home—is challenging to cultivate.
PUBLISHER MARY KEMMIS, 604-247-3702 publisher@richmondreview.com
The foundation lost $3 million in its inaugural vacation home lottery. Nearly two-thirds of the 120,000 $100 tickets went unsold. Against the backdrop of the announcement were quiet preparations for the celebration of Milan Ilich’s life today. Ilich proved himself a philanthropist—rarely with words, but always with action. He willingly gave so much for so many. He led by example in a world that constantly needs reminders of the need to lend a helping hand to others. In the case of Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation, it’s attempting to raise money for a muchneeded hospital expansion. Donor dollars are tight at a time when it seems an endless number of hands are stretched out. Charities, Scout troops, places of worship, sports teams, schools, arts groups and many others are all asking for help. So Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation officials took the decision to launch a new prize home lottery. But like the Richmond Hospital Foundation had already discovered, asking for donations while offering fancy prize packages isn’t a guaranteed success.

Chung Chow file photo Milan Ilich shied away from the spotlight, but through quiet actions, he fit the definition of philanthropy.
In fact, lotteries can be a real money-loser for an organizer. For Ilich, a longtime Richmond developer who died June 29 of acute myeloid leukemia, it wasn’t the promise of prizes that attracted him to the Richmond Hospital Foundation, one of many benefactors of the Milan and Maureen
Ilich Foundation. Later in life, Ilich became more acutely aware of the need to give back. He had the financial means, but also the ability to lend his expertise to community groups as an accomplished businessman. Ilich shied away from the spotlight, but through quiet actions,
he fit the definition of philanthropy. Oxford defines it as an effort to promote the happiness and wellbeing of one’s fellow people. At its heart, philanthropy is a love of humankind, and Ilich demonstrated—for Richmond—he had lots to go around.

Life Lessons Andrea Phillpotts
‘T
hose pansies might not last very long,” my neighbour suggested the other day, visiting us from next door, “We’ve got a bit of a rat problem.”
Apparently, there’s a rodent with a posh life on the West End of Richmond. This critter has made a nest in our neighbour’s hot tub cover and saunters around at night, nibbling on tender edibles—namely his wife’s carnations and tomato plants. Now rats and humans have a long and testy relationship. Humans have accused rats of doing everything from biting babies in their cribs to spreading the bubonic plague to decimating indigenous species of birds. Writer William Stolzenburg recently referred to them as “biological bombs.” Indeed. Rats are indeed intelligent opportunists. The brown rat has spread to all corners of the earth (except Alberta and Antarctica) and is considered the most successful mammal after humans. It can swim for hours, travel miles in pursuit of food, and has five litters of “kittens” a year. The more I read about them, the more I find them
fascinating. They are admirable creatures, but not ones I’d necessarily want in my garden or house for that matter. For one, they can spread hantavirus, a disease that can be fatal. What to do? My elderly dog is of no use (she wouldn’t even be able to see the rats let alone chase them) and my indoor cat would likely end up as racoon or coyote kibble if left outdoors overnight. I scattered wet kitty litter around the garden (eww, I know) in hopes that a feline threat would keep them at bay. Who knows, maybe the rat wouldn’t attack my little garden, preferring the neighbour’s carnations. But no. The next morning brought with it floral devastation. Stumps of flowers littered the garden. Those sunny pansy blooms we’d planted for brightening up our summer salads were all gone. Interestingly, only the maroon pansies were left. Were they less tasty
Writer William Stolzenburg recently referred to them as “biological bombs.”
or was it sort of a yellowversus-red-M&M thing for rats? Clearly the kitty litter idea didn’t work. Are there people that would rent out their cats or terrier for rat work? I wonder. I missed my old cat, Fergus, who was a ratter and an outdoor cat before this became unfashionable and cruel. What would be my
next step of e-RAT-ication? This morning I woke up to no pansies whatsoever. I guess the maroon pansies taste OK if they are the only things left. I was delighted to see that my tomatoes and lettuces were still intact but for how long? Would they become tomorrow’s casualties? My neighbour mentioned calling a rat exterminator. Apparently their store-bought traps aren’t working. I’ll have to either abandon my garden or else join forces against the second most successful mammals on earth (and possibly more intelligent.) Full out e-RAT-ication begins tomorrow, making it safe for West Richmond gardens everywhere—or at least on my block. Andrea Phillpotts is a Richmond writer and teacher.

letters Stop by a Turning Point house
Recovery homes work
Editor: Ernie Mendoza’s recent letter decrying the efforts of Turning Point Recovery Society is a shameful and ignorant mess. Here is Mr. Mendoza’s most unknowing statement: “The grim reality is that no social program here in Richmond and anywhere in the world has resulted in successfully minimizing or eliminating the tragic consequences and miseries of substance abuse.” Turning Point itself has been turning out clean and sober citizens for just under 30 years now. Add to that local, provincial and national programs such as Welcome Home, Innervisions, Pacifica, Avalon, Westminster House, Baldy Hughes, Portage (in three provinces for 40 years), Behavioural Health Foundation (celebrating its 40th this September) and a few dozen more private, profit, non-profit and public treatment programs. None of these programs has any record of discord with their local communities. All of these programs together have accumulated millions of Clean Living Days with their resident and graduating clients. These highly effective and dedicated programs are mirrored worldwide in most countries. Mr. Mendoza knows not of where he speaks, and, worse, he couches his questionable, prejudicial arguments in the language of pseudo-science, the second oldest trick in the book. Here is my recommendation. Stop by a Turning Point house. Meet the people. Have a coffee. Engage. Your fear will be replaced by admiration and support.
Editor: The assertions, assumptions and other prejudicial claims in Mr. Mendoza's recent letter questioning the efficacy of drug and alcohol treatment is completely without foundation in reality or fact, let alone any science he purports to understand. People afflicted by substance abuse are not foreign to Richmond's neighbourhoods. Their struggles begin in homes in neighbourhoods where I live and where Mr. Mendoza lives. Thankfully, treatment and recovery programs have existed in countless communities worldwide, including Richmond. We don't need to argue about the science that might be applied to evaluate their effectiveness. Thousands in Richmond live clean and sober lives today after ending their struggles with addiction after being able to access community-based treatment and recovery programs. I volunteer on the board of a 40-year-old national residential substance abuse treatment program that has saved thousands of lives across Canada. I have seen firsthand the inspiring work they have done here in B.C. in recent years helping a large number of young people end their addiction and embrace life to it's fullest. As a fourth-generation resident of this wonderfully diverse and caring community, I remain hopeful that the fear-mongering and prejudice displayed by people who have attitudes similar to Mr. Mendoza will not ever eclipse the caring, resourcefulness and common sense of a citizenry that has made this place what it is.

Editor: Re: letter written to the editor by Pricilla Chung about recovery home won’t hurt “hood.” The above mentioned letter was anti-recovery house. Is there ever an ideal site for a recovery house? Is there really a Richmond neighbourhood where you could place a recovery house that wouldn’t be too close to a school? Is there a proper place for the house in a poorer neighbourhood? Do areas where the housing prices are not quite as high as Steveston not care just as much about their children’s ongoing and future education? If neighbours would just embrace the recovery house, maybe their children would have the opportunity to get an education about acceptance and tolerance and a chance to volunteer by giving to those less fortunate. Would we be better off not offering any recovery? What would the results look like? Bake some cookies and welcome some new neighbours!

Editor: Things are happening in Richmond, late at night and you could be the next victim. This is your warning. I noticed as soon as I pulled into my driveway, something was amiss. My first reaction was to
blame my husband, what had happened? He knew nothing about it. He was as shocked as I was. There had to be some explanation for this invasion of our property and the theft while we apparently were home sleeping in our bedroom. Our new neighbours were totally baffled and one commented how she had admired our house because of it. There was a gathering over the next

Seems this situation was a total surprise to

ummer is my absolute favourite season to shop for new clothes since the shapes are more fun and the colours are brighter. Even though short-sleeved blouses and shorts are cheaper than chunky winter sweaters, it’s still hard to happily update my wardrobe without breaking the bank. As mentioned in previous columns, accessorizing is one very inexpensive alternative and tailoring or altering is another option to update clothes you already own. I also have friends who always lighten their hair colour or get a fresh haircut for the warmer weather. However, if the need for something new(ish) still lingers in the back of your mind, try heading to your nearest thrift store. Thrift shopping can be pretty daunting at first, but with these tips, shopping at thrift

(I needed photos of thrifted summer pieces, but ironically, ended up with a black heavy wool sweater and a pair of taupe leather boots.) • Bring a stylish friend to prevent you from buying a scary outfit straight from the 80’s. ‘Nuff said. • Look at every sized section. You may find an item in a beautiful fabric that doesn’t fit properly, but it can be tailored, chopped, or completely restructured into a new garment. I thought about chopping off the crazy tapered legs of these high-waisted, mom jeans by Levi’s (see photo) to make relaxed boyfriend shorts, but the waist was too small. Altering thrift clothes like these Levi’s jeans can help you find that budget summer item. • Only buy things if you love them, not because they’re cheap. (At thrift store prices it’s so hard to resist!) If it screams 80’s or 90’s to you, you’ll never be able to wear it in a current way. A few of this season’s trends can easily be found in thrift stores; it just takes a little looking and a lot of debate.

Sweden’s No. 1 men’s singles badminton player isn’t comfortable resting on his laurels. With only 371 days until the opening of the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London, England, just about everything Henri Hurskainen does is centred around securing a spot on the Swedish team. That includes a carefully-orchestrated
schedule that this week sees him playing in the 2011 Yonex Canada Open, on through Sunday, at the Richmond Olympic Oval. “We had planned to play in the Singapore Open (in June), but felt with my world ranking (46th) it was probably better to play in the U.S. and Canadian opens, giving me a better chance to go further in the competition and get more qualifying points for the
video-online richmondreview.com Olympics,” he said. Hurskainen, 25, won his first two matches at the U.S. Open last week in Orange County, Calif. over Canada’s Sergiy Shatenko (29-9, 218) and England’s Rajiv Ouseph (21-18, 14-21, 21-13) before bowing to the world’s 45th-ranked player in Taiwan’s Hsuan
Yi Hsueh (22-20, 21-17). Ranked ninth in the Canada Open, Hurskainen needed only 23 minutes to eliminate Austria’s David Obernosterer (21-7, 21-11) in first-round play Wednesday, and anticipated a possible showdown with Marc Zwiebler of Germany (the world’s No. 16-ranked player) later in the tournament. Hurskainen, who with his blue eyes, red hair and beard bears a striking resemblance to Van-
couver Canucks twins Henrik and Daniel Sedin, spends upwards of six hours a day honing his skills. But he said there is still plenty of room for improvement. “I’m particularly working on getting a lot faster and explosive,” he said. “Men’s singles play is getting more and more (noted for) that kind of play. You have to (keep up) because everyone is so good now.” See Page 21

gley. In the gold medal game, Richmond trailed 2-0 early but battled back to take a 3-2 lead late in the second period. However, Langley capitalized on some untimely penalties and used their superior talent to pull away to a 12-6 victory. “The boys’ put out a really good effort and came together at the right time,” explained proud head coach Rod Jensen. “With a few lucky breaks here and there, I think we could have taken Langley right down to the wire.” Overall, the team had some great individual achievements as well. The offence was led by tournament all-star and MVP Josh Bourne, who compiled 18 goals over the five game tournament. Two-time game MVP Ryan Jensen scored 12 goals and added 10 assists. Other offensive contributions came from Hunter Van Hest, Mitchell Lavoie, Jordan Sandhu, Kyle Alhfield, Brock Jung and Jordan Roberts. The defence was led by first-year goalie Sam Loewen, who also won a game MVP award. “It is truly amazing that a first year goalie could perform at this level under the extreme pressure,” coach Jensen said. The big, athletic defence consisted of Dorrin Luding, Taylor Dudlets, Connor Sexsmith, Callum MacBeth, Graham Lynn (who won the tournament’s Fair Play Award) and Justin Preston. “We were by far the most athletic and aggressive team,” said assistant coach Roy Van Hest. “To have such a small association and achieve the silver clearly shows the character and determination of this group of boys.”

Most of the tournament’s other top players also breezed to victories in the opening round, including No. 1 seed and world No. 4 Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia who defeated Anthony Dumartheray of Switzerland (21-16, 21-13). Among the Canadians, Stephan Wojcikiewicz of Ottawa (Canada’s highest-ranked player at No. 63) edged out Mahmoud Elsayaad of Egypt (1221, 21-17, 21-18) and Michele Li of Toronto (ranked No. 40 in the world) fought through a tough opening round match in women’s singles play against Peru’s Christina Aicardi (21-12, 21-14). “I just have to get my best level out,” said Li. “When I do that it is difficult for opponents to handle my attack.” The Olympic qualifying event features 250 players from 40 countries. Ticket and tournament information is at canadaopen.ca.
Sawada re-signs with Dallas Richmond’s Raymond Sawada is returning to the Dallas Stars. Sawada, 26, inked a one-year, two-way contract. The 6-2, 207-pound right winger played one game with Stars last season and in 57 games for Dallas’ top affiliate, Texas Stars had 29 points. He had five assits in six playoff games.
by Don Fennell The preparation is done, and now it’s up to the players to show what they’ve learned is enough to garner one of three berths to the nationals. That’s what’s on the line beginning today (Friday) through Sunday at London Park, as the Richmond Islanders 95A girls’ fastpitch team hosts the provincial Bantam A Division cham-
pionships. The Islanders looked impressive in their final tune up, placing third in the Showcase Division (under-16) at last week’s Canadian Open at Softball City. Richmond lost out reaching the final by a single run, losing to Abbotsford Outlaws 7-6 in extra innings. Earlier, they lost 10-0 to eventual-champion Hawaii but doubled second-place finisher Arizona Cats 4-2 and also topped the White Rock Renegades.

Motor enthusiast Hon Chan of Richmond is passionate about keeping his car clean from the inside out. To prove it, he posed alongside his favourite ride, a 2010 Infiniti G37x, with the hood up to show off his clean engine and entered the photo into the Shell V-Power “Fuel My Passion” contest. That photo earned Chan the most votes in the online contest and the grand prize of Shell V-Power Premium Fuel for five years.
