Mounties days aren’t numbered Despite RCMP black eyes, there’s no political appetite for change by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter
Matthew Hoekstra photo Kara Frederick takes Ellie, 9, for a walk. Richmond Animal Shelter dogs are walked at least once a day— often by volunteers—and get regular playtime in a fenced yard. Ellie was surrendered to the shelter by someone who suffered from severe depression and thus didn’t give the animal the care it needed. Ellie is now doing well, but is stressed at living in the shelter and is looking for a home. Our special feature, A Day in the Life of Animals in Richmond, begins on page 3.

The latest in a series of high-profile black eyes for the RCMP isn’t likely to alter plans to retain the Mounties as the police force of choice in Richmond and British Columbia, according to local politicians. Last week, The Richmond Review revealed that the lead investigator in a botched local ecstasy investigation, was subsequently charged with obstruction of justice in relation to the probe into the handling of the Surrey Six multiple-murder investigation in 2007. But local politicians don’t believe the Mounties’ days are numbered. “It’s really bothersome to me...this ongoing saga of misadventure with the RCMP,” former Delta Richmond-East MP and current B.C. Conservative Party leader John Cummins said. “I’m sure in any one day, across the country and across British Columbia, the RCMP has thousands of interactions with the public that are positive. But every once in a while, something happens, sometimes with a significant file.” Cummins said it should be the cream of the crop who are leading these investigations but that doesn’t appear to be happening. Turning to a municipal police force comes with a heftier price tag thanks to start-up and training costs, he said. And considering the current economic climate, Cummins doesn’t believe Richmond and B.C. taxpayers have an appetite for that. Richmond Coun. Ken Johnston agrees
RCMP controversy •In June, a Richmond provincial court judge cleared five men of all criminal charges despite their link to a massive ecstasy lab found inside an older West Richmond split-level house in 2007. •Richmond provincial court Judge Paul R. Meyers said police consistently “ignored and flaunted (sic) the accuseds’ Chart of Rights, and did so consistently over a 14-month period.” • In tossing out all evidence gathered by police, the judge put the blame on RCMP Cpl. Danny Michaud, who was in charge of the investigation. Michaud has since been charged with breach of trust and attempting to obstruct justice in the Surrey Six multiple murder case, where six people were murdered in a Surrey condo in October of 2007. • Four Richmond RCMP officers were involved in the October 2007 death of a Polish immigrant at Vancouver airport. that at Metro Vancouver, nobody is eager to take on a pricier policing alternative. “I believe there would be a major initial cost implication of a regional police force...Metro Vancouver’s RCMP cities don’t have an appetite for changing over,” he said. The decision to second an RCMP officer from Richmond to work on the Stanley Cup riot investigation led by Vancouver Police wasn’t something broached with local politicians. That’s an example of a lack of communication and accountability that politicians hope to address as work continues on hammering out a new RCMP contract in B.C. See Page 4

A Day in the Life of Animals in Richmond A Day in the Life is an annual feature where The Richmond Review gets out its cameras and takes photos of happenings in the city over one day. This year we decided to focus on animals. Not the ubiquitous herons and rabbits, but some of the interesting activities of the dogs, chickens, cows and cats in Richmond. See pages 5 through 8 for more photos.

Dr. Yvonne Van Duin looks over Angel, an eight-year-old domestic short hair cat, at Island Veterinary Hospital, where staff don’t just care for animals suffering from ailments or injuries. From checking on the health of an animal’s teeth, to assisting with pets who may be overweight and need to adjust diet and exercise regimen, pets and their owners are the focus of their daily work.

Cleaning is an important aspect of animal care. Roland, who is available for adoption, needs a patient owner willing to work with him to build a trusting relationship. “He’s probably been through a lot,” said the shelter’s Kara Frederick.

Run estimated at around 3.2 million by Jeff Nagel Black Press It won’t be the extraordinary run of 30 million sockeye salmon that surged up the Fraser River last summer and helped fill freezers along the way. But fishery managers have decided there are enough incoming salmon to justify commercial fishing.

The Pacific Salmon Commission approved a two-hour opening for gillnetters in area E of the Fraser River yesterday after the latest estimates pointed to a run of at least 3.2 million incoming sockeye. Gillnetters who fish off Vancouver Island from Nanaimo to Port Hardy were the first to get their nets in the water, with an opening last Sunday. The run strength is believed to be in line with pre-season projections but it’s too early to say with confidence how many later-running sockeye will return. Bob McKamey, vicepresident of the Area E Gillnetters Association, is hopeful the counts will rise and fishery openings will continue. “There are some pretty promising numbers popping up,” he said of test fishing catches of Fraser sockeye off northern Vancouver Island. McKamey said there’s

more scope to allow fishing in the river this year because the Fraser is running so high. The high water level means there’s more vertical room in the river for incoming salmon to avoid nets and continue upstream, he said, so escapement rates should be higher than usual.
“The height of the water is so far above anything we’ve fished in recent history,” McKamey said. “Our ability to catch the fish will be affected.” First Nations, which get to fish ahead of other users for food, social and ceremonial reasons, have already been catching salmon for several weeks.

From Page 1 Johnston said the decision to second the officer, at Richmond’s expense, was not made by Richmond RCMP Supt. Rennie Nesset, but his superiors. Johnston complimented Nesset on the job he’s done on community outreach and heading up the department. Coun. Greg Halsey-Brandt isn’t convinced that a municipal police force would be immune to the types of issues the RCMP has faced in recent years. He questions whether the screening process during RCMP’s recruiting blitz in recent years, when it took on hundreds of new members, was as thorough as it should have been. Halsey-Brandt doesn’t believe a civic force would cost more, noting that the city already pays for supplying the building, administration, vehicles and weapons. Negotiations over a new provincial RCMP deal are ongoing. One area HalseyBrandt hopes will be addressed relates to control. The province wants to ensure there are no unilateral decisions made by the federal government regarding policing. “That could certainly help,” he said. Halsey-Brandt believes the majority of Richmond council are leaning towards keeping the RCMP in Richmond.

Molly Sjerdal, a summer student at the sanctuary and a volunteer of six years, holds Lincoln, whose story has inspired staff and volunteers. Lincoln arrived at the sanctuary a few years ago with broken bones throughout his body. It had been hit by a car. But at the sanctuary, Lincoln was assigned to cage rest—and healed. “This is one of the naughtiest cats in the place and everybody loves him,” said Leslie Landa.

60,000 more students join U-Pass by Jeff Nagel Black Press TransLink and area universities, including Kwantlen, are rolling out a tightened system to dispense and regulate student transit UPasses that were often lost in the mail or illegally resold. The change comes as 60,000 additional students join an expanded, revamped U-Pass program that gives them all unlimited transit for $30 per month, charged with student fees. Each college or university is in-
stalling vending machines that will dispense the new U-Passes to students each month after they swipe their student cards. The monthly U-Passes replace the old system of mailing out passes that were good for an entire fourmonth term. TransLink estimated $15 million worth of U-Passes were being reported lost or stolen each year and replaced. Many of them later found their way into the hands of other users. Officials hope doling out the passes just one month at a time
Better Grades Happier Kids
via machine will solve that problem and make them harder to sell them as well. Paying for U-Passes is mandatory but students in areas poorly served by transit contend they can't use them and often try to resell them. The passes are non-transferrable but equivalent in value to a $151 three-zone monthly pass, so students who sold them could turn a tidy profit. TransLink spokesperson Ken Hardie said websites like craigslist and vansky.com have agreed to delete ads trying to sell U-Passes.

B.C.’s quit-smoking plan attracts critics B.C.’s plan to fund nicotine patches and gum for smokers has been lauded by the Canadian Cancer Society and other health organizations, but the program has its detractors. Public feedback since the program was announced in May include a variety of criticisms, according to documents released by Premier Christy Clark’s office under freedom of information legislation. The program is set to start Sept. 30. It will provide people up to 12 weeks’ supply of over-the-counter nicotine gum or patches, or prescription pills approved by the Pharmacare program. It will cost $15-25 million a year. “As a physician, I am a bit ambivalent about your decision to fund nicotine replacement, as along with the drug there is also need for counselling and follow-up,” said one response posted on B.C.’s new open information website. Others objected to the decision to spend millions on nicotine replacement, while diabetics and other chronic disease patients have to pay to treat conditions they did not bring upon themselves. —by Tom Fletcher

Choosing Allergy Medication Suffering from itchy, watery eyes and sneezing and runny, itchy nose and not sure which allergy medication is best for you? Come ask one of our Live Well Pharmacists which medication is best for you. Antihistamines can be short-acting or long-acting. Short-acting antihistamines work quickly but usually cause drowsiness. Long-acting antihistamines are more commonly used because they only require once daily dosing and don’t cause drowsiness. Long-acting antihistamines include loratadine (or Claritin ), cetirizine (or Reacthine ), and fexofenodine (or Allegra ). Know what you are allergic to and begin taking antihistamines just before the start of the season to prevent you from experiencing symptoms. ®

Half of HST ballots cast More than 1.6 million voters sent in their ballots for B.C.’s referendum on the harmonized sales tax, a participation rate that matches the 51 per cent turnout for the 2009 B.C. election. Elections BC sent out just over three million ballot packages starting in June, then extended the deadline for returning them by two weeks after a labour dispute at Canada Post delayed distribution. Temporary staff at Elections BC are working seven days a week in two shifts, intending to have the ballots verified and counted by the end of August. A simple majority of votes cast will decide whether B.C. keeps the HST and lowers the rate by two points to 10 per cent in the next three years, or reinstates the former seven per cent provincial sales tax on top of the five per cent federal GST. The only other mail-in referendum in B.C. was the 2002 vote on aboriginal treaty principles, which saw a return of 790,182 votes, about one third of the total sent out. —by Tom Fletcher

EDITORIAL: Rioters need to learn about consequences
E
vents unfolding in England this week are remarkably similar to those in Vancouver on June 15.
While the “instigation” differs (police shooting in England, hockey game here), there are many similarities: burning vehicles and looting stores; the presence of black-masked, jerry-can carrying hoodlums; non-stereotypical rioters (a school assistant and a leisure centre worker in England; honour roll students and an Olympic hopeful here); hundreds of bystanders out to watch the mayhem (and should stores be opened for looting, not averse to taking an active part); rioters and looters happily breaking the law even while they know they are being filmed; and swift pressing of charges. Hold on a moment, something is not right. While in England, a parade of rioters and looters have appeared before a magistrate, some already pleading guilty, back in Vancouver, almost two months since downtown Vancouver went amuck, not one person has been charged with riot or looting related offences. This despite the fact many of the perpetrators have been identified and have stated their guilt publicly. Why is rioting suddenly
Seung-Chul Baik photo Richmond voters go to the polls this November to elect one mayor, eight councillors and seven school board trustees.
becoming de rigueur for “misspent yoof ”? It’s because there are no CONSEQUENCES to their actions. Remember those goofs who tried to start a riot at the start of the Olympics? Most got off scot-free. And all signs point to all but the most egregious not ever being charged. The B.C. Liberals have let the justice system slide
for too long. Whether it’s closed courthouses, lack of sheriffs, prosecutions being dropped due to delays or a clogged-up court system, too many cons in this province aren’t paying the price. While the province reversed its decision to cut back on sheriff positions, it should be looking at hiring more. If not, the one’s getting a lesson in consequences
will be the provincial government. People were upset by what happened in downtown Vancouver following the Canucks’ loss. They will be even more upset when nothing happens. This issue, more than the HST or B.C. Rail, will hurt them. B.C. Conservative Party leader John Cummins is already coming up with some memorable lines on the issue (“Thanks to
the Liberals our catch and release justice system will not be able to throw the book at the rioters.”) It’s time for the province to deal with this. Hire more sheriffs. Hire a special prosecutor. Put aside a judge and a courtroom. Otherwise, expect more of the same the next time the Canucks go deep on a playoff run.
Orval Chapman is a great example to follow
Shades of Green Arzeena Hamir “All social movements are founded by, guided by, motivated and seen through by the passion of individuals.” – Margaret Mead.
I
was contemplating this quote recently after attending a meeting at the Vancouver Oxfam office. There is an individual in our community who embodies this quote and who has worked tirelessly, with great passion to affect social change. And if you haven’t met Orval Chapman, it’s
your loss. I met Orval a number of years ago at a World Food Day celebration at the Brighouse library. He was a soft-spoken man who was representing three different organizations that day – Oxfam, Amnesty International, and the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. I was immediately enthralled by his dedication to all three organizations. It wasn’t until a couple of years later that I started to realize the full extent of Orval’s work in Richmond. I would get annual reminders of Oxfam fundraising walks at Garry Point. Only recently, after speaking to Oxfam staff, was I told that Orval himself started this walk decades ago. Orval is such a tireless fundraiser for Oxfam and done so much to raise the organization’s profile that he was awarded one of Oxfam’s highest honours in 2010, the Spirit of Change Award.
About a year ago, Orval asked me to attend his church, Sea Island United, and have a look at the gardens behind it. Apparently, in a very quiet way that is very much Orval’s style, a community garden had been started on the property to allow church members to experience food production. They had a healthy crop of potatoes that year. Recently, through his work with Amnesty International, Orval brought to light the plight of migrant farm workers here in Richmond and was able to garner support from Senator Mobina Jaffer to attend a rally in support of migrant workers. I’m sure I’ve only scratched the surface of all of his accomplishments. Orval is not one to mention the kind of work he does and Google has only provided me with his recent projects. If you saw him today, you would never know that he was recently hit by
a car while walking home one winter night. He spent months in hospital and is still undergoing rehabilitation. It seems nothing slows him down. Orval has already started organizing a walkathon as a fundraiser for the Horn of Africa drought. I urge you to participate on Aug. 28 at 2 p.m. Knowing that the federal government will match every dollar raised until mid September, Oxfam decided to do this walk earlier in the year. It sounds like a very fun event with music and snacks, for a very good cause. There are some people who talk about change and there are some people who do. I urge you to follow Orval’s footsteps and do something for those in need. We couldn’t ask for a better example to follow. Arzeena Hamir is co-ordinator of the Richmond Food Security Society.

letters Canada Line needs extra cars on existing trains
Grammar ride-along
Editor: Re: “Canada Line gets the boost,” Aug. 10. TransLink is patting itself on the back for announcing it will be adding two extra trains per hour during rush hours in order to serve the ever growing number of people using the Canada Line. What the Canada Line needs is two extra cars, not two extra trains per hour. But because TransLink, in its infinite wisdom, did not build the platforms long enough they cannot add even one extra car. They never have been and never will be forward thinking as far as transportation in the Lower Mainland is concerned. For this, thousands of dollars of taxpayers’ money was spent going to look at other country’s transit systems only to return to B.C. and build a system that is inadequate. L. Haudin Richmond
Editor: Please send my kudos to Andrea Phillpotts for her column on grammar in the Wednesday, Aug. 10 paper. Grammar was not my strong suit in school but I became better at it and I understand her “frustration” especially when I read the Vancouver Sun! The same thing with the dollar and cent signs being used incorrectly with decimal point($0.50 not the same as 0.50 cents). I would gladly ride along with her to correct errors! Teresa Laumen Richmond

New cocktails. My friend Jane was attracted to the bottle. It does look like an oversized perfume bottle. She discovered St-Germain, an elderflower liqueur from France. The elderflower has been used for medicinal pur-
poses for centuries, but the liqueur is new. Light pale gold in colour, floral and fruity aroma (with hints of citrus and pears), and not too sweet making it an elegant liqueur to sip straight or over ice. The liqueur is made with fresh-picked elderflowers. About 50 people carefully hand-pick the elderflowers in the French Alps, then place them in sacks and cart them to market on their bicycles. The elderflower is macerated in eau de vie and

Farmers market. Farmers markets are a great place to find produce youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen or tried before. Many folk discovered scapes, guy lan, oyster mushrooms, and so on. This year, I discovered plump, grape-like, red gooseberries (they also come in green, yellow, white, and shades of pink to purple). They are small, about half-inch with a translucent-looking skin, and full of vitamin C. The taste is original, sweet/ sour, and can be eaten on their own, or cooked, baked, etc. The name comes from the fact that the berries were often used as a sauce for roast goose. This chutney recipe can be used with goose, duck, fish, or pork.

StageCoach teaches youth to sing, act and dance with glee by Don Fennell Staff Reporter
I
n the midst of Gleek Week at the StageCoach Theatre Arts School in Steveston, principal Lisa Oppenheim has just finished up a long day teaching a group of young summer campers. But her energy level remains high, buoyed by the infectious spirits of the four- to 18-year-old students. “It’s not exactly Glee (the American musical comedy-drama that’s taken the TV by storm), but it’s similar,” said Oppenheim, who describes the camp as basically a short, intensive version of the school’s regular 10week term which provides kids the opportunity to sing, dance and act. In Gleek Week, campers get a chance to belt out a ballad like Rachel or warble like Kurt by taking on sectionals—with their very own choreography—to some favourite Glee numbers. With the help of their instructors, the older participants learn to write a script, come up with characters and situations in a final musical performance on the Friday. “It’s amazing what they come up with in a week,” said Oppenheim, who like the other members of the instructional team remains active in the performing arts. “I’m blown away each time. They (consistently) surprise us with their imagination, writing ability, and sense of humour. They often come up with really fun jokes. But part of what’s special about experience is they can really take ownership, they’re not just handed some lines that don’t really mean anything. This really allows them to bite in and get that sense of accomplishment.” Earlier this year, Oppenheim was awarded Stagecoach Theatre Arts Schools’ Best Newcomer Award for achieving the highest retention rate—82 per cent—of any principal. She said the award reflects the Richmond community’s appreciation for the arts and what StageCoach is all about. The Richmond school (which
In Gleek Week, campers get a chance to belt out a ballad like Rachel or warble like Kurt by taking on sectionals—with their very own choreography—to some favourite Glee numbers.
opened last September at St. Anne’s Anglican Church, 4071 Francis Rd.) is part of a large and extensive network that spans the globe. StageCoach Theatre Arts Schools was created in 1988 in the United Kingdom and is now the world’s largest network of theatre schools with over 700 franchises from Australia to Germany and Malta to Greece. There are seven Canadian locations, five in B.C. and two in Ontario. One of Oppenheim’s wishes is that, as the number of schools in the Lower Mainland expands, they’ll be able to have regional shows such as those held in London, England. It would also allow for more specialized performance teams, such as a dance team or a choir. Interest in the performing arts schools has been overwhelming, which Oppenheim attributes to a commitment to inclusion. “We get a variety of students, from no experience to some who

are already acting professionally in the film industry,” she said. “Our goal is to give all the children a series of life skills they can carry forward with them whatever they choose to do. We often see a student who is very shy or really interested in the arts and keen, but scared to take the stage. “Then often, in a very short period, within a year, you wouldn’t recognize them from when they walked in. They’re vivacious and confident.” Oppenheim gets great satisfaction from hearing the laughter and seeing the smiling faces of the children, who are never afraid to express themselves. She attributes this to a very supportive environment where every idea is considered. “Far too often kids hear the word no,” she said. “We really stress the idea of saying yes, let’s try it.” To learn more about StageCoach Theatre Arts Schools, call 604-5373669 or visit stagecoachschools.ca.

Save your Shells. Once you’ve had your crab or spot prawn feast, don’t throw away the shells. You can make a great crab stock for bisque or pasta sauce. Simply freeze the shells and when you have a moment, spread them on the baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes at 400F. Add them to a pot and cover with water. Bring to a simmer, but don’t allow it fully boil. Remove white foam. Then add onion, carrot, celery, 2 tbsp tomato paste, parsley, bay leaf, 15 peppercorns, salt, and 1/2 cup white wine. Simmer for 1 hour. The water should just cover the shells. Strain through a fine mesh strainer. At this point, you can refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for 2 months.

A round for the ages Nathan Leonhardtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 62 best-ever score at Mayfair Lakes by Don Fennell Sports Editor Nathan Leonhardt couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have dreamt of a better homecoming. Between events on the Canadian Tour, the rookie pro golfer returned to his Richmond roots last week looking to revive his game. So around 11 a.m. Sunday morning he headed out to Mayfair Lakes Golf and Country Club to hit a few balls on the practice range and also work on his putting and chipping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last couple of weeks Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been hitting the ball very poorly and was getting frustrated,â&#x20AC;? he said. While on the range Leonhardt, 26, found something that was working, a swing heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d abandoned. Almost instantly, it felt right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more I practice, the more technical I tend to get which is not always a good thing, so I went back to something that felt instinctive,â&#x20AC;? he explained. By good fortune, just as he was wrapping up his practice session a couple of friends were just about to get off work at Mayfair Lakes and invited him to join them for a round of golf. He enthusiastically accepted. When he entered the clubhouse around 6 p.m., some ďŹ ve hours after he teed off, Leonhardt had made history. His 18-hole total 62 was the best round ever shot on the golf course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very excited,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going into the clubhouse the ďŹ rst thing I wanted to do was ďŹ nd out the lowest round score. I wanted to hear 63 and not 61 or something. When I got into there there were still a few guys around who had heard I had shot a good round and asked what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d shot. I said I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if it was good enough or not, but it was 62. They told me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yeah, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got it by one.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Leonhardt said the score has armed him with a renewed sense of conďŹ dence heading back out on Tour, starting with the Seaforth Country Classic Aug. 18 to 21 in Seaforth, Ont., followed by the Canadian Tour Championships Aug. 25 to 28 in Windsor, Ont. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sets up nicely,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ďŹ nd this little swing I was searching
so hard for I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be looking forward to going to Ontario as much as I am. Now, everything in my game feel as close to the best itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever been.â&#x20AC;? An unusually brisk crosswind greeted Leonhardt and his two playing partners as they ventured out onto the 418-yard Par 4 ďŹ rst hole. Usually, noted Leonhardt, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing into the wind or itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a down wind. But the elements, including a particularly warm and sunny early August afternoon, had no adverse affect on Leonhardtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. If anything, they aided it as he opened the round with a birdie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt good immediately,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hit my ďŹ rst shot pretty well right down the middle of the fairway, only 120 yards shy of the green. Then I used a wedge to get onto the green and made a 20 foot putt.â&#x20AC;?
Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nathan Leonhardt had 10 birdies on his way to shooting a course record score of 62 Sunday at Mayfair Lakes Golf and Country Club.

Islanders 93A at U19 Canadian Fastpitch Championships Aug. 14 to 21 in Winnipeg by Don Fennell Sports Editor
309-301 East Columbia Street, New Westminster 604-526-2748 1110-750 West Broadway, Vancouver
Island girls hope to medal at nats Mosquitoes are said to be so big and bad during the summer in Winnipeg, that the city has been labelled the mosquito capital of Canada. The Richmond Islanders have packed plenty of repellant to battle the insects, but when the team arrives in the Manitoba capital this weekend its main focus will be on battling a different foe—the host Smitty’s Terminators and the remaining provincial reps that will make up the field at the 2011 Under-19 Women’s Canadian Fastpitch Championship Aug. 14 to 21. The Islanders 93A, with all but one player in their final season of eligibility in the Midget Division, go into the national tournament with high hopes. “Our goal is to medal,” co-coach Debbie Smallwood said. “The team is very well-rounded
but I would have to say our biggest asset is our speed and quickness. We will be very difficult to keep off the base paths.” Smallwood, who shares the coaching duties with Lesley Monk, added the Islanders also possess a powerful pitching staff that features a fair amount of national experience. Richmond qualified for the Canadian championship by placing third at the recent provincial tournament at which they won five of nine games. Smallwood said the season was defined by a win over the rival
White Rock Renegades 93A team. “The girls were able to outlast this powerhouse team in a slugfest, which in turn was the game that qualified us for nationals,” she said. “The girls worked extremely hard throughout the season and it’s now beginning to pay off. I believe we are peaking at the right time and the group is extremely excited about their next challenge.” As for next season and beyond, Smallwood said she doubts the girls have looked that far. “I really believe the girls still think the best part of this season is still to come,” she said. The Islanders are: Courtney Bridge, Stephani Ellis, Jamie Randall, Natalie Mahara, Hilary Novakowski, Emi Nomura, Yasmin Bains, Emily Powroznik, Emily Merlo, Kaeli Alexander, Serena Midttun, and Hillary Streleau. Mariko Nomura is the assistant coach.

Ten birdies highlight Leonhardt’s record score From Page 17
After shooting par over the next four holes, Leonhardt proceeded to pick up birdies on holes No. 6, 7 and 8 before bogeying No. 9. He was even more impressive on the back nine, earning birdies on all but three holes—No. 14, 16 and 18. “After the first three birdies in a row my mindset was this is going to be a good day of golf,” Leonhardt said. “I was always putting well and now that I was finally swinging better I thought as long as I got into the green I was going to be able to do well.” MERCHANDISE FOR SALE 524

Even the bogey could have been a birdie, he said. “I was only 120 yards to the pin and then when I missed a four-foot put for par I was pretty upset for a minute. But getting over it immediately really helped me (on the back nine).” He realized he might be closing in on the lowest round ever when he birdied the challenging 15th hole, which is 203 yards and a par 3. Using a five iron, his shot from the tee got to within 20 feet of the hole. From there, he sank the ball to go to eight under par. Ironically, while it was only

good enough for par, Leonhardt said his best drive of the day was likely on the 18th hole. However he wound up having to dig himself out of a bunker. “I’m usually pretty consistent but I haven’t been a person to go really low,” he said. “And birdies are what you need in pro golf, so being able to do this was very exciting and encouraging.” Following the Canadian Tour Championship, Leonhardt plans to play in the Vancouver Open Aug. 31 to Sept. 4 at McCleery Golf Course. Then it’s off to California to attend the PGA Qualifying School in mid-October.
