Moncton becomes main street for TV series Hyped ABC drama is brainchild of Lost executive producers by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

Japa Dog comes to Richmond Food cart spices up hot dogs with Japanese toppings by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A street meat phenomenon that’s proven a big hit with Vancouverites is now in Richmond. Japa Dog began selling its unique hotdogs earlier this month from the Canadian Tire parking lot on No. 3 Road in North Richmond. The street food vendor operates three hot dog carts in Vancouver and a small Robson Street restaurant, selling nine different hot dogs with a Japanese twist. The company has attracted plenty of attention from media and celebrity customers, whose photos adorn its Richmond trailer-based kitchen. Its most popular hotdog is the $4.75 Terimayo, a beef sausage and white bun dressed with teriyaki sauce, julienned seaweed shavings, Japanese mayonnaise and fried onion. Manager Toshiaki Tanaka said he can’t explain why Japa Dog has become so popular. “I do not know exactly why,” he said. “We’d like to be (the biggest) hotdog shop in the world.” Its mission statement is simple: “Making the world happy and alive through hotdogs.” Japanese native Noriki Tamura started the business in 2005 and, buoyed by success during the 2010 Olympics, is now eyeing international expansion. Tamura, who was unavailable to speak to The Review, is said to be busy securing new locations in major U.S. cities. See Page 5

It’s not every day Snow White strolls through Steveston wearing jeans—but it could become a regular sight. On Tuesday film crews transformed Moncton Street into the fictional New England town of Storybrooke, a set in the new ABC TV series Once Upon a Time. The heavily-hyped fantasy-drama is the brainchild of Lost executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, and premieres Oct. 23. A day after filming, crews removed props, took down signs and restored Moncton Street to its roots. But if the series is a success, they’ll return regularly. Producers have already committed to shooting intermittently here through to Christmas. According to Sandi Swanigan, co-ordinator of the city’s film office, Once Upon a Time has the potential to become Steveston’s Smallville—another TV series that filmed in Cloverdale for six years. “Steveston’s so attractive because it plays really well, there’s not a lot of high buildings and the people are really friendly,” she said. Location managers are also drawn to the village because it can also easily take on an East Coast or small-town California look. Producers filmed portions of the pilot episode in Steveston in March. This week Moncton Street’s Splash Toy Shop was transformed into a “five and dime” store, Steveston Marine and Hardware became Storybrooke Hardware and Paint and Nikka Fishing and Marine was completely boarded up. At the Gulf of Georgia Cannery, the high-flying Canada flag was temporarily removed to avoid country confusion in background shots. Once Upon a Time chronicles the lives of fairy tale characters who are stuck in the real world without knowledge of who they really are. The story centres around Emma, believed by her son to

be the missing daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. Filming is also taking place elsewhere in Metro Vancouver. It stars Ginnifer Goodwin and Lana Parrilla. Swanigan said if the series makes a long-term commitment to Steveston, the benefits are many—especially outside summer months when tourism drops off. An example came in March when crews were filming in poor weather and spent tens of thousands of dollars with
merchants, some of whom were asked to change their storefronts or were bought out for the day. That day crews also contributed $1,000 to a local tsunami relief fundraiser organized by Janet Yau. Swanigan said they’re also known to buy gift certificates from merchants to hand out to shoppers who may be inconvenienced by the filming. Also filming in Steveston is the TV teen drama The Secret Circle, set to air on The CW, a U.S. cable network, in September.

Cat burglar’s Ram gets herded by Mounties habits land Sheep wandered around East him in the Richmond for hours slammer by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter
Dylan Raniga left behind clues investigators needed by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A good habit and a bad one landed Richmond cat burglar Dylan Raniga behind bars. As his father sat in the gallery, the prolific 26-yearold offender was sentenced to four years in prison by Richmond provincial court Judge E. Jane McKinnon after pleading guilty to two counts of breaking and entering. Crown counsel Ron Beram told The Richmond Review that Raniga broke into two local homes last December, and left behind the forensic clues that Richmond Mounties needed to pin him to the crimes. In late December, Raniga entered an occupied home by prying open a screen window, and then took off his shoes and socks before snatching an expensive watch, among other things. In stepping across a covered hot tub, he left behind a footprint on the cover that was positively matched to him. A couple of weeks earlier, a midnight break-in was interrupted by a homeowner who was alerted by a chime on the garage door, and then confronted Raniga. He fled the scene after claiming the door had been left open. The non-smoking occupant discovered a single cigarette butt inside the garage, which was seized by investigators and analyzed. It matched to a DNA sample belonging to Raniga that was already in the system. After a couple of days of trial earlier this year, Raniga entered a guilty plea to the Christmas break-in, and subsequently plead guilty to the other December break-in. Beram sought a sentence of between four and five years, while defence counsel Andrea Turton sought a three-to-four-year jail term.
A black ram, curled antlers and all, took a two-hour stroll through the streets of a Shellmont neighbourhood, with Richmond’s finest on its tail mid-Wednesday morning. A YouTube video of the male sheep as it scampered down Williams Road was taken around 10:15 a.m. (See: http://bit. ly/nVFupd) But someone who posted a message at richmondreview.com, said the incident actually started hours earlier, at 8 a.m. and claimed to have called police at that point. “Don’t tell me it took them over two hours to catch the poor little guy.” Ironwood resident Andree Lau was driving down Williams, near Seacote, and heading for Tim Hortons with her 11-month-old son when she spotted three or four RCMP cruisers with their emergency lights activated. “It looked like they were trying to box someone in. I thought they were trying to stop a vehicle.” But then out pulled the ram, and over pulled Lau. “It slowed down to walk past my car and then took off again, down Williams. I only had a few seconds to fish my iPhone out of my purse to try to take a video.” She then uploaded it to YouTube. RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said police weren’t trying to chase the ram, but were trying to corral it. “Our goal was to ensure its safety and the safety of everyone else in the area,” Turley said. Eventually, the ram got tired, and laid down in the back yard of a home on Seacote Road. With help from Richmond Animal Protection Society, the ram was cornered and secured with a rope belonging to an unknown bystander, who police are hoping will step forward to reclaim the rope. The ram, who

appeared unstressed, is now being housed in a shelter. Shelter volunteers have nicknamed him Rambo and he’s resting in a pen, where he has access to plenty of water and hay.
The ram’s ear was tagged with the following serial number: CA315-987398. No word at this point where the ram came from, who owns it or how it got loose.
Riot probe steals Richmond cop Richmond stuck with the bill; asks province to buck up by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter City council is demanding the province pay for the cost of seconding a Richmond RCMP officer to the City of Vancouver to aid in the riot investigation. “It was done basically, in my opinion, by the RCMP without consultation,” said Coun. Bill McNulty. “We kind of found out after the fact.” A Richmond officer has been sent to Vancouver to assist police there in investigating a massive riot that broke out in downtown Vancouver following Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final. Officers in six other municipalities have done the same. The six-month posting will cost Rich-
mond up to $75,000, not including a required police cruiser or overtime costs to do the officer’s work here. It’s not clear if the RCMP volunteered its services or whether Vancouver requested it, according to a report from city general manager Phyllis Carlyle. It’s common for a neighbouring municipality to provide complementary resources to another city during emergency events—such as the night of the riot. But this latest action is an exception, Carlyle said. City council is asking the solicitor general to pay Richmond’s bill, and in a resolution, is advising RCMP brass that Richmond doesn’t support such deals unless full costs are paid. Apart from salary cost, McNulty suggested the Richmond officer’s investigation may stretch well beyond six months. “He will be the expert witness in reviewing videos and may have to testify in court,” he said. “This may go on for a year or two. They’re just starting in Seung-Chul Baik photo on the files to bring these people to A riot broke out in downtown Vancouver following the Vancouver Canucks’ Stanley Cup loss on June 15. task.”

Developer takes green leap Plan to subdivide Ash Street lot returns
Geothermal heating and cooling systems still ‘few and far between’ says expert
Applicant held open house for neighbourhood at city hall’s request
by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter
by Matthew Hoekstra
Before drilling holes 60 metres deep for a high-tech geothermal system, developer Clive Alladin contacted a Coast Salish elder to bless the land. “We did that not only to respect the land, but to respect the First Nations people,” he said. “This house is going to be forever tied to this land through that energy system.” Alladin’s company, Richmondbased Balandra Development, is building a single-family home equipped with a geothermal heating and cooling system—without a buyer waiting in the wings. That’s a first for Richmond, he said. Developers usually consider such a project a risk, since geothermal systems can cost two to three times as much as conventional systems. “We thought about it for a long time, but never found the right project because it’s very cost-prohibitive,” said Alladin. “Someone needs to get the ball rolling, and we feel we’re in a position right now to do that.” He took the green plunge with a 3,400-square-foot house he’s building on Springhill Crescent, a West Dyke property that boasts commanding views of Sturgeon Banks. The property will also have a 550-square-foot garage and a host of environmentally-friendly finishes. It’s scheduled to be finished by year’s end and will carry an estimated price of $3.5 million or more. Although the Balandra home may be the first geothermal house for the open market here, the green system has been employed elsewhere in Richmond, including the Hamilton fire hall and BCIT Aerospace Campus. The geothermal system works by capitalizing on the earth’s

Japa Dog comes to Richmond From Page 1 Japa Dog’s offerings include the Oroshi, a bratwurst hotdog with grated radish, green onion and special soy sauce; the Negimiso, a turkey hotdog with miso sauce, green onion and fried cabbage; the Okonomi, a kurobuta sausage with “special Japanese sauce,” Japanese mayonnaise, bonito flakes and friend cabbage. The Richmond cart has operated throughout July noon to 6 p.m. at 3500 No. 3 Rd., but the vendor is working to secure a new location in Richmond.
A proposal to build six “affordable” single-family houses on a site once eyed for an addictions recovery house is now back on the table. In February, city staff had recommended approval of a pilot project at 8180 Ash St. to build six “affordable” single-family houses on the 25,069-square-foot lot. But neighbours complained to city hall—with comments largely focused on inadequate consultation—and officials shelved the application. On Wednesday the development permit panel considered the application again, and is recommending city council approve it. The plan doesn’t require rezoning,
but the Provincial Rental Housing Corporation, which is BC Housing’s land holding company, is requesting variances to squeeze six lots on the site, which is surrounded by other single-family homes. At the city’s request, the applicant held a public open house June 21, and this time more neighbourhood homeowners were told about it. A total of 34 people came to the open house to learn about the project and offer comments. Changes include alterations to the driveway design and a wider access road. The applicant has also offered more information on how the subdivision will integrate with the existing neighbourhood, including its use of landscaping. According to planner Diana Nikolic, “the quality of the project has been improved” by the changes, and new information shows the subdivision “can compliment the character of the established neighbourhood.” The houses would be made available to first-time homebuyers with a maximum income of $61,233.

temperature of approximately 10 C. A series of liquid-filled underground pipes pick up heat from the earth, and it’s extracted by a compressor for heating space and water. The system can also be reversed to provide cooling, and the only operating cost to homeowners is the electricity required to operate the equipment. Exchangenergy is the firm contracted to install the geothermal system. Company principal Jeremy Jacob said the majority of his installations are in custom homes built to an owner’s specifications. “The way that we sell it is on payback,” he said. “These systems typically pay for themselves in 10 years and after that you’re banking the operating cost savings, and over the life of a home, that becomes very significant.” Jacob said a growing population
in the region will continue to put upward pressure on energy costs, making geothermal systems that much more attractive. But they’re still “few and far between” in single-family homes because of the high initial cost, according to geothermal expert and University of B.C. professor of mining engineering John Meech. Balandra Development is spending $65,000 for the system on its Springhill Crescent property. Meech said the payback period for a geothermal system varies from seven to 12 years. Creating district heating systems—such as one being installed in Richmond’s redeveloping Alexandra neighbourhood—brings down the cost. “The long-term cost-savings are enormous,” he said. “In the long run, it’s the cheapest energy on the face of this earth.”

by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Veteran Richmond mortgage broker Gord Pipkey wasn’t just among the top 50 brokers named by Canadian Mortgage Professional magazine this week. He was at the top of the list of the country’s 50 best. Pipkey funded $263 million dollars worth of mortgages last year during his work for VERICO Mortgage Services, located in Richmond. So you’d expect Pipkey was over-themoon about last year’s numbers. Turns out, he’s had better years, including in 2007, when he and his son Steve churned out $305 million in mortgages. Pipkey said he learned that he’d be named in the magazine a few weeks ago. Up until last year, when he joined VERICO, a network for mortgage specialists, he had remained largely under the radar, even though he was generating large numbers. Pipkey, who has been in the business for over 25 years said there’s a public misconception about mortgage brokers. He works entirely in the interest of prospective homeowners who are seeking financing for their new purchase. Pipkey doesn’t charge them fees, but instead gets paid directly by a lending institution. And because of the volume of mortgages he handles, he’s able to get rates that the ordinary Joe might not. And while a bank’s representative might claim to be working for a customer, a mortgage specialist’s experience and extensive education are for the benefit of his or her client. Up until his son began to cultivate his firm’s database, Pipkey was more
Gord Pipkey was listed as Canada’s top mortgage broker.
focussed on the idea that if he did a good job, his clients would keep coming back. Now, he’s generating business by looking for positive referrals from clients. Although he’s now considered the cream of the crop, Pipkey said there’s still room for growth. In the United States, some 75 to 80 per cent of mortgages originate through brokers. In Canada, that figure sits at a little over 30 per cent. In 2010, the top 50 brokers in the country averaged 23 closings per month, valued at $6.7 million, compared to just 19 in 2009, worth $4.9 million. “A high volume and a large number of deals can indicate that you are doing something right to stand out from the crowd, be it launching a clever marketing campaign, tapping into new referral sources, building a list of ‘niche’ clients or simply providing top-notch customer service,” wrote Canadian Mortgage Professional. “It also, in many cases, speaks to a mortgage professional’s hard work over his or her years in the industry.”

Ancient Egypt rebuilt with M&M’s by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Ancient Egypt meets candy-coated chocolate at Aberdeen Centre this week. For weeks a Hong Kong design team has been creating a series of sculptures depicting icons of the ancient world—made with M&M’s chocolate candies. The sculptures form part of an interactive exhibition that opens Friday and runs until Sept. 5. The Boy King features reproductions of the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx of Giza, Egyptian themed musical and dance acts and a choreographed water fountain show set to the song “Walk Like An Egyptian” and songs from The Mummy soundtrack. The show also features an actor playing the part of King Tutankhamun, who ruled Egypt for 10 years until his death at age 18. In advance of the designers’ arrival, workers painstakingly sorted boxes of mixed M&M’s into bins of red, yellow, green, blue and orange. Separating the colours required the full-time efforts of 10 people for 10 days, according to mall spokesperson Joey Kwan. “We didn’t want to surprise him with all the colours and he had to sort it out.” Then Dio Wong and assistant Henry Leung began leading a team in crafting the chocolatey masterpieces by individually gluing the tiny candies on pre-

sculpted forms. “I actually did it before, but much more small scale, using M&Ms to recreate the Hong Kong skyline,” said Wong, 37, through a translator. Wong is known primarily as a toy designer, creating concepts for action figures, electronic toys and model kits. He also lends his skills to film production companies for set design and teaches at a design school. The difficulty in keeping track of the number of M&M’s used is only compounded by workers with hunger pangs. Wong has been “well behaved” when it comes to snacking on the coloured building blocks, laughs Aberdeen’s Kwan, adding, “But for some of us, we are not that behaved.”

EDITORIAL: Internet dogpile
A
Kwantlen political science professor gave a good lesson yesterday—in how not to use social media. Yesterday afternoon, Shinder Purewal, who ran unsuccessfully for the Liberals in Surrey-North in May’s federal election, tweeted (@ShinderPurewal) “Vancouver’s so-called “Pride Parade” should be banned. It is vulgar... to say the least! #cdnpoli” Purewal’s tweet-and-run quickly provoked a lot of responses, mostly hostile.
“Wow - disgraceful,” wrote Braeden Caley (@braedencaley), a lifelong Liberal. And on and on it went: “That tweet was vulgar.” “Feel free to leave.” “Don’t hold back, tell us what you really think. Let your homophobic flag fly free!! I’ll be unfollowing now. Thanks.” His former school, Simon Fraser University, and his current one, Kwantlen, quickly distanced themselves. After an hour, Public Eye (www. publiceyeonline.com) did get some clarification from the prof. “My view was if I’m not able
to take my family to an event, if I can’t take my kids to an event simply because of the sexuality at display (it should be banned),” Purewal said. “It’s got nothing to do with my approval of same-sex marriages, which I have supported.” Almost 90 minutes after his first tweet, he reiterated his comments to Public Eye in a follow-up tweet. “My concern is obscene sexuality at display in the parade.” By then, the damage had been done. A few lessons to be learned:
•The 140-word character limit is not ideal for explaining potentially Inflammatory opinions •While some people understand why he wouldn’t want to take his children to the Pride Parade, using words like “banned” went too far. •Don’t tweet-and-run. If you make such a controversial tweet, put it into context in a follow-up tweet. Social media can be a volatile place. If you wish to controversial, don’t be surprised if you are at the bottom of an Internet dogpile.

Guest Column John Yap
T
his summer, British Columbians will choose between a 12 per cent GST + PST and a 10 per cent HST.
Adrian Dix and the BC NDP love higher taxes, so it is no surprise they want to go back to the higher GST + PST. What is interesting, though, is their refusal to responsibly discuss two important questions. What is the cost of going back? And how should we pay it? The cost of returning to the old GST + PST system would be staggering – roughly $3 billion. This includes the $1.6 billion penalty for breaking the contract with the federal government, $85 million per year in interest on the money we would borrow to pay the penalty, as well as roughly $1.2 billion in reduced provincial government revenue over the coming years – revenue which is reinvested into infrastructure, health care, education and more. Rebuilding the PST tax office would cost $15 to $20 million. And it would cost $35 million a year to run it. How do Adrian Dix and the BC NDP suggest we

pay the $3 billion cost of going back? Should taxes be raised? Should spending on important services such as health care and education be cut? A combination of the two? How would they make up for this huge hole in the budget? They refuse to say. This is quite simply the height of irresponsibility. I wish I could say I’m surprised, but I’m not. Recklessness and irresponsibility have always been the hallmarks of the BC NDP. They give no thought to whether or not their promises are prudent or practical. They will say anything they think will bring political gain. I almost expect to hear them promise to stop the tides, repeal the
law of gravity and give every child a unicorn. As government, we don’t have the luxury of promising unicorns. We must be realistic. We must also listen to the people, and that is what we have done with the HST. It is no secret that we did not get the HST quite right when we introduced it. That is why Premier Christy Clark initiated the most extensive consultation any government has ever held with British Columbians. We engaged with 275,000 people, and we listened to your suggestions. The HST will be reduced to 10 per cent in two stages, and the average family will come out ahead by about $120 compared to
the old GST + PST. The cost of the HST to families and seniors before the rate cut will be offset by providing onetime transition cheques as soon as possible after the referendum. Families will receive $175 for each child under 18, and senior citizens with a family income of $40,000 and less will receive $175 each. The choice this summer is clear: Do we keep the 10 per cent HST which will see people in every income bracket come out ahead, or do we go back to the 12 per cent GST + PST? That is the $3 billion question. John Yap is RichmondSteveston MLA.

letters City needs more speed enforcement Editor: Has anyone but me noticed the rampant disregard for our speed limits. I for one, drive for a living and encounter all forms of speeding on a daily basis. Whether it be the speeder on a cell phone, the guy who just needs to get to the next red light or my favourite: the speeding transit buses who not only speed but do it in the marked construction areas. (Thanks for the brake.) I too like to go home at the end of the day safe and sound. My question is where is all the traffic enforcement in Richmond? All the surrounding cities like Burnaby, Delta and Vancouver all run steady enforcement on their streets but all we get is the odd three-day blitz and the rest of the time it is just a free-forall for our budding race car drivers. If the RCMP was to do enforcement on a steady basis on such raceways as Steveston Highway, Gilbert Road, No. 2 Road, etc., not only would it make our streets safer, the resulting fines coming back to the city would help offset all of our rising property and gas taxes. We pay our local police to enforce our speed limits and I think it is about time they did just that. Bruce Neil Richmond

Kudos and a ‘how could you?’ Kudos to the artistic soul who designs the absolutely lovely median plantings, especially the ones around the intersection of No. 2 Road and Westminster Highway. The harmony of colours and the clever gradations in height create a feast for the eye. What on earth were the city planners thinking when they permitted the only remaining heritage home on River Road (near Gibbons Drive) to be razed, and likely replaced by another sterile mausoleum-type house with permanently closed blinds? I only just discovered this travesty and it saddens me very much.

Luckily, someone noticed that they planted it all upside down. Kimi Hendess redid them all (well, not quite all, as they discovered during harvest). That was only one of the challenges the Fruit Tree Sharing Farm encountered. A wet autumn meant soggy ground, so the team needed to find higher ground on the property to plant the garlic. (This is flat land.) For those who aren’t familiar with Richmond Fruit Tree Sharing Farm, it’s a not-for-profit project that grows food for chari-
table food distribution organizations. The Sharing Farm began in 2001 with a group of volunteers who picked surplus food from people’s gardens to give to the food bank. Today, 10 years later, they grow vegetables on donated land, including three acres in Terra Nova. They also grow pears and apples on an orchard at the foot of Gilbert Road. They need funding, that’s why they planted the garlic. So a Garlic Festival is being held in Terra Nova on Sunday, Aug. 14, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Two hardneck garlics—Musik and Hornby,—and one softneck—Organic Silverskin—are available. How much garlic will be available? When harvest began a few weeks ago, the volunteers pulled the garlic and hung it under a white tent to dry. After the first few rows were pulled, the tent was full. Mary Gazetas got on the phone and thanks to her friend Bugsy, the garlic now fills a hangar at the Delta airport. Meanwhile, during the harvest, everyone pitched in, from the Richmond Farm School’s students, high school students, and families with children who happened to be in the park for a picnic. It took four days to harvest over 5,000 heads of garlic, more than 1,000 lbs. The garlic sells for $3 a bulb or $15 per pound. You don’t have to wait for the festival to purchase the garlic. Pre-ordering is welcome (info@ richmondfruittree.com

The Sharing Farm, reliant on donations, sponsorship, grants, etc., is trying to be more of a social enterprise, more self-reliant. So they will host the garlic festival and raise money to grow more food. Anything you can do to support them is appreciated, even buying sweet peas from Save-On.

Driver in fatal boat crash that claimed Richmond man fined by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter The man who piloted a five-metre speedboat that crashed into a red marker buoy in Tauranga Harbour, New Zealand last February, killing his good friend, Richmond’s Richard Evans, will not be going to jail. According to daily news website SunLive. co.nz, Keith Clifford Longley, 65, pled guilty to a charge under the Maritime Transport Act, and was ordered to make a $3,000 donation to the Tauranga Volunteer Coastguard, and $500 in court costs. Those fines should serve as a sufficient deterrent, Tauranga District Court Judge Peter Rollo ruled. Evans’ good friend, Richmond’s Alan Brown, said Longley’s family and Evans’ family remain close. “They’re still friends. In fact, (Longley’s family) came over here to Canada just a few weeks ago and went back for this court case, I believe,” Brown said. “They’re certainly still in touch and there’s no animosity there.”
Brown said he believes the fines that Longley had to pay, along with the pain of losing a friend in such a fashion, were punishment enough. “It was a tragic accident. He probably shouldn’t have been navigating at that speed and in that area. But things happen, and it was really unfortunate,” he said. Longley pled guilty to operating a vessel in a manner likely to cause unnecessary danger to persons or property. Evans, a 63-year-old retired international rugby referee and former Vancouver Police detective and lifelong friend of Longley, was killed when his forehead struck the cockpit coaming, and he fractured his forehead, according to the report. He was then trapped in the forward cabin as the bow of the vessel sank. Longley, who has no prior convictions, suffered a fractured skull, jaw and eye socket, according to SunLive.co.nz. Police investigators were hoping that Longley would be convicted of the maritime equivalent of careless driving of a motor vehicle causing death.

Richmond abuzz with Mosquito baseball Provincials through Sunday at Steveston Park by Don Fennell Sports Editor
After reaching the semifinals at the 2010 B.C. Mosquito Baseball Championship, Richmond City Chuckers hope to be playing for the title at the 2011 provincials, which they’re hosting today (Friday) through Sunday at Steveston Park.

Steveston Park is empty now, the serenity of a summer day interrupted only by the presence of a few birds perched on the outfield fence. The thick, green grass in the outfield is neatly trimmed and the concession well-stocked with ballpark franks in anticipation of a busy B.C. Day long weekend. It’s time to “Play Ball!” The top 10- and 11-yearold baseball players from around the province are
gathering here over the next four days to participate in the 2011 B.C. Mosquito A championships, including the host Richmond City Chuckers, which last year reached the semifinals at which they bowed to Cloverdale in extra innings. “We improved a lot last year and took some of the traditionally stronger teams by surprise,” said head coach Scott Lunny. “This year the expectations are definitely higher. We expect to be competing Sunday for a chance at the championship.” The Chuckers’ roster is virtually identical to the 2010 lineup. But that alone is no guarantee of success.
“We aren’t a big or overpowering team, but we play solid defence and have steady, consistent pitching,” said Lunny. “You certainly won’t see very many homeruns out of the Chuckers and we don’t expect to blow anybody out. We try to play close, low-scoring games and when we do that we have been successful.” But this is the provincial championship, and anything can, and often does, happen. Lunny knows he and assistant coach Dave Wong will have to keep the boys on their toes. “Our team, as I’m sure with all the teams, has been practising and playing games almost every day to prepare for

this tournament since we formed June 21,” he said. “The kids have worked hard and we are extremely excited to be able to play at home. It will be good ball and should be lots of fun.” The provincial championship began Thursday with an offiicial opening ceremonies followed by a skills competition, but game action doesn’t begin until today (Friday) at 8:30 a.m. when Cloverdale faces Duncan. Games are scheduled every 90 minutes until 6:45 p.m. both Friday and Saturday, with Sunday’s championship round beginning at 9 a.m. The third-place game is set for 1 p.m. and the title game at 2 p.m.
They didn’t win the provincial Midget B girls’ fastpitch title Sunday in Nanaimo. But for the Richmond Islanders 93B, a fifthplace finish may be just as rewarding. It has inspired many to want to continue to play. “We have players graduating from six Midget teams in Richmond,” said coach Al Groff. “And being able to keep them together would be very rewarding. I’m hoping we can have at least two or three Junior teams next season.” Although the Islanders went into last weekend’s 16-team B.C. championships as decided underdogs, they surprised even themselves, said Groff, whose squad was a run shy of advancing further losing 3-2 to host Nanaimo in a playoff eliminator. Richmond held a 2-1 lead going into the bottom of the seventh inning and had

two outs when Nanaimo scored on a seeing-eye single over second base. Sporting a 3-1 record after round-robin wins over Cordova Bay, Strawberry Vale and Prince George (losing to White Rock), the 93B Islanders placed two spots ahead of the Richmond Islanders 92B
team, which had the best round-robin record at 4-0 following wins over North Shore, Nanaimo, Prince George and Fleetwood. The two Richmond teams wound up facing each in the playoffs, with the 93B team winning 7-0 in five innings. Planned starting pitcher Emily Agawa re-
injured a hamstring in warmup and was replaced by Micki Baydack who threw a four-hitter, struck out seven and walked only one. Offensively, outfielder Kathleen Cathcart, Sam Mah, Kajsa Moore and Sydney Jeffers had multiple hits. Defensively, outfielder Kajsa Moore played outstanding substituting at third base for the injured Erin Boivin; her first game ever in the infield position. The game came on the heels of a pair of showdowns against the South Delta Invaders Saturday. The 93B Islanders lost 9-4 to the 93B Invaders, giving up six unanswered runs in the bottom of the fifth inning after leading 4-3. The 92B Islanders also had a lead against the 94B Invaders going into the seventh inning but lost 10-8 in extra innings. The Invaders 94B won five games Sunday, including a final-game win over the previously-unbeaten 93B Invaders, to capture the tournament title.

QGolf Club set to host Canadian Junior Girls Championship by Don Fennell Sports Editor The nation’s best young female golfers will tee it up next week at the Royale Cup Canadian Junior Girls Championship in Richmond. Practice play begins Monday at the QGolf Club, which in April changed its named from the Quilchena Golf and Country Club. The opening day will also feature a long drive competi-
tion. The first round of stroke play in the 72-hole tournament begins Tuesday at 7:30 a.m., with the opening round of the 36-hole inter-provincial team championship commencing at 12:30 p.m. The events resume at the same times Wednesday. After 36 holes of stroke play, the field will be reduced to the low 70 players before resuming Thursday at 7:30 a.m. The final
round begins Friday at 7:30 a.m. F o u r members of the host QGolf Club are expected to play in the championship. Stephanie Wong, 17, has competed in three previous national junior championships while Nayan Calsin Murdoch, 15, Janet Zhang, 13, and Gen Nugent, 17, are all first-timers.
Jennifer Yang, Jisoo Keel and SooBin Kim (all of Coquitlam) will represent B.C. in the team competition. Keel, 16, won the CN Future Links Pacific and finished third on the CN Canadian Women’s Tour Order of Merit earning her exemption to the CN Canadian Women’s Open. Meanwhile, Kim is also the B.C. Junior Girls champion. The Royale Cup Canadian Junior Girls Championship
debuted in 1955. Among the notable past winners are Sandra Post (the first Canadian to play on the Ladies’ Professional Golf Association Tour and as a 19-year-old rookie the
then-youngest player to win a major) and Heather Kuzmich (the only player to win four consecutive titles from 1981 to 1984). Kuzmich, Lisa Meldrum and the legendary Mabel
Thomson (who won five Canadian Ladies’ Amateur titles between 1902 and 1908) are the only players to ever four-peat in Canadian women’s amateur golf history.

sports Step Your Game Up hoops tournament debuts at South Arm Basketball BC had barely wrapped its first annual Step Your Game Up tournament last weekend at South Arm Community Centre when participants already began talking about the 2012 edition. “It was a great weekend of fun, excitement for hundreds of participants, parents and friends,” said Lawrie Johns, executive director of Basketball BC. The event showcased the International Basketball Federation’s new three-on-three 10-minute game as well as the new outdoor courts at the community centre. Some 43 teams, bys’ and girls’ divisions, participated in under-13, under-15 and under-17
divisions. Ahead most of the game, NIGBA held off a tenacious Drive team 8-7 to win the under-13 girls’ championship, while the Blue Devils completed a secondhalf comeback to edge the Geeks in Sneaks 1613 in overtime to net the boys’ title. The under-15 finals also went down to the wire with the Suns outscoring Deja Vu 8-5 for the girls’ title and Premier Hoops clutched up on defence to shade the hometown Elite 4 by a single point, 8-7, for the boys’ title. And in the under-17 boys’ final, a poised and passionate Monsantos held off an intense Excell II team for a 10-8 victory.

Smooth buying experience the norm in Lower Mainland
Home-buying doesn’t need to be stressful Everyone has heard horror stories about buying a new home. Homes not being finished on time. Salespeople looking down their nose at you when you don’t decide to install those hardwood floors. And of course, the worry that it won’t live up to your expectations. Those nightmares are rarely a reality in the Lower Mainland, with its range of wonderful builders, all of whom are committed to providing a smooth, seamless buying experience for every single customer. “There were no problems with the buying process,” says Kseniya Stepanova. “It was quick and smooth.” Stepanova and partner Arseniy Tkachuk purchased a home in Vancouver’s Maynards Block, a project built by Aquilini Development and Construction. Their home is still being built, but Stepanova
was impressed by the flexibility. “We have actually changed our mind in the process and moved up two floors, so we had to come back a second time – all was good.” South of the Fraser River, Corina Accili had a fantastic experience with Benchmark Homes, the builders of the Yorkson South development. “Benchmark was wonderful to work with,” she says. “Everything has been painless.” She was particularly impressed by the staff at Benchmark, saying that everyone from the sales staff to the project manager have been great. Buying a home can be stressful (even when it’s good stress), but perhaps the experiences of Accili, Stepanova and Tkachuk will turn those nightmares to dust.
‘We have been overwhelmed with phone calls and visits to our open houses’
Heritage Woods welcomes The Views by Kerry Vital
You won’t find a much more exclusive community than ParkLane’s The Views at Heritage Woods. With just five townhomes available, The Views is a true example of great value for a lower price point. “The Views offers the very rare opportunity to own a brand-new home in an already established community,” says ParkLane General Manager of Sales and Marketing Yosh Kasahara. The development is set in the heart of ParkLane’s master-planned community of Heritage Woods on Heritage Mountain in Port Moody. With over 15 other single-family and multi-family projects at the development, The Views is right at home with previous projects like Echo Ridge and Creekside, among

builders read your mind. Maple shakerstyle cabinets complement the stoneslab counters, and a high-end stainlesssteel appliance package will have you cooking up a delicious meal in minutes. At the end of the day, everyone wants to kick off their shoes and relax. The master bedrooms at The Views have been built for this, with lush carpeting, private balconies, huge walk-in closets and an ensuite featuring his-and-hers sinks and a separate soaker tub. The bottom floor features a fully finished recreation room, perfect for turning into a media room or home theatre, and double garage. One of the biggest selling points at The Views is, obviously, the stunning views. “You can see everything from
Mount Baker to the Gulf Islands from this community,” Kasahara says. Buyers who are planning to work from home will find it easy at The Views, as the townhomes are zoned for a live/work space, according to Kasahara. All five homes are completed and ready to move in to, Kasahara says. “We have been overwhelmed with phone calls and visits to our open houses by people who are interested in purchasing here ... people don’t want to miss out.” The townhomes at The Views at Heritage Woods are 1,793 or 1,798 square feet, and start at $569,900. To make an appointment to see the homes, visit theviews.parklane.com or call 604-961-3559.
others. ParkLane has won several awards for Heritage Woods, including more than 30 Georgie Awards given out by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of British Columbia. The homes come standard as a two-bedroom and loft, but Kasahara says they can be converted to a threebedroom for no extra charge. Every home features a great roomstyle layout with a nine-foot ceiling, adding to the sense of spaciousness that comes standard at The Views. In the kitchen, owners will no doubt be quickly taking advantage of the large workspaces, islands and pantries that are so perfectly situated it’s as if the

Canwest Farms’ Humraj Kallu presented a cheque of $5,000 in support of the Richmond Hospital Foundation. Humraj was introduced to the foundation by longtime supporter, Amit Sandhu, who invited him to participate in the River Green on the Green Golf Tournament on June 23. “I thought the event was great and the cause really interested me,” said Kallu. “People often don’t realize that there is a cost for the great health care available to us, and it was eye-opening to see how much the foundation helps to provide the latest medical equipment.” Canwest Farm’s donation will be put towards Richmond Hospital Foundation’s $5.5 million Operating Room Campaign to renovate and equip two new OR suites with state-of-theart technology for minimally invasive surgery. John Bateman, chef at Richmond’s Gilmore Gardens retirement residence, has been honoured by the Canadian Culinary Federation during its 2011 National Conference held at the Westin Wall Centre Airport Hotel in Richmond. Inducted as a member of The Prestigious Honour Society, the award is bestowed in recognition of foresight, dedication and contributions made to the federation and lifetime passion and service to the culinary profession. A celebration in recognition of Bateman’s achievement was held at Gilmore Gardens on Thursday.
ALISHA PARMAR, Volunteer Match Advisor What does a typical volunteer shift look like?
Kudos is a weekly feature showcasing announcements, achievements and good deeds happening around town. E-mail submissions to news@richmond review.com
I meet with potential volunteers who want to give back to the community, but aren’t sure where to start. My job is to get to know the potential volunteer’s skills, availability, interests and preferences, and then to connect the potential volunteer with suitable volunteer positions.
Who does your volunteering help? Alisha has been volunteering since she was in high school
Volunteer Today!
People who want to volunteer may not know where to begin searching or they may not be able to find volunteer positions that match them. Volunteer Match, a program of Volunteer Richmond, benefits potential volunteers by making the search process easier.
What’s your advice to someone considering volunteering? Start now! It’s never too late (or too early) to start volunteering,
604-279-7020 and it feels amazing to give back. Plus with the number of volunteer volunteerrichmond.ca opportunities available you can find something that is just right for you (should you have trouble searching, you know who to call!)
Chapter BI, Richmond of the PEO Sisterhood of British Columbia presented Richmond’s Perri Tutelman with a $2,500 STAR Scholarship. This is the third year that this local chapter has been able to present a local Richmond student with this prestigious scholarship that is based on academics, leadership and community service.
