dise. Some have pre-scouted, others are there simply for the thrill of the hunt. At 5:30 p.m. Marlin Martin begins calling out prices at Marvel Auctions’ weekly public general auction, a sale brimming with hundreds of items all sold to the highest bidder. The floor is full of furniture, home furnishings, tools, jewelry, electronics, office equipment and other goods. “Anything you’d find around the home is basically what you’d find here on a

Thursday night auction,” said Martin. Those competing for the items— many from estate sales, factory seconds or seized from unclaimed storage lockers—include the serious and the curious, and some who are just “buying fanatics.” “We do have a weekly following,” said Martin. “They buy not because they need, but because the price is right and you can’t pass that deal up.” See Page 3

A Richmond man who used his cellular phone to take photographs up women’s skirts at Aberdeen Centre in 2009 has been handed a conditional discharge. Jaihyun Yoo, 29, was handed a two-year term of probation, meaning if he meets the conditions of his probation and avoids running afoul of the law, his criminal record will be wiped clean. Yoo’s probation order has 18 conditions, including: • not to consume nonprescribed drugs; • participate in group therapy for sex offenders; • participate in psychiatric, psychological counselling programming; • not be in possession of device capable of taking still or video images; • not to access or be in possession of pornography; • complete 30 hours of community work service. Back in September 2009, Yoo was allegedly seen taking pictures of women at Daiso, a dollar store at Aberdeen Centre. He was subsequently charged with secretly observing or recording for a sexual purpose.

Richmond doctor celebrates milestone Dr. Lionel Tenby has been treating patients at his family practice for 50 years by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

Matthew Hoekstra photo Dr. Lionel Tenby celebrates 50 years of practising medicine in Richmond with a garden party behind his Seafair ofﬁce.

Finding a family doctor can be like ﬁnding a cure for the common cold, so when Ethel Parkes found Dr. Lionel Tenby, she didn’t let go. “He manages to keep me healthy,” said Parkes, 88, who’s been a patient of Tenby’s for 50 years. Parkes was among the patients, colleagues, friends and family gathered Monday in a garden behind Tenby’s Francis Road ofﬁce to mark the doctor’s half-century milestone of practising medicine in Richmond. “I have no intention to quit for the foreseeable future. I’m happy to keep on working and looking after my patients,” said the 79-year-old Tenby. Tenby followed his father into medicine. He emigrated from London, England and opened his of-

ﬁce in Seafair on Aug. 15, 1961. In 50 years, he said, Richmond has changed, but his practice hasn’t. Tenby still gives his patients plenty of time. “I let them talk and tell me what their problems are. I’m not looking at the clock to kick them out to get the next patient in. The only people who don’t like it are the patients waiting in the waiting room... But when they get in, I give them the time too,” he said. “It’s the way we’ve been operating the last half-century, and people seem to appreciate that.” The doctor is known for visiting patients at home and in hospital—including during the days before Richmond Hospital, when such visits took him to Vancouver and New Westminster. Given the long hours and mounds of paperwork a family practice entails, many medical students today opt to specialize instead. But Tenby said if he could do it all over again, he wouldn’t change paths. “I like the variety—looking after the whole person.” Ed Rienks, 49, has been seeing Tenby his entire life. “He’s been good to my family,” he said, remembering Tenby’s house calls to his parents when they were ill. “I’m glad he’s hang-

“I’m not looking at the clock to kick them out to get the next patient in. The only people who don’t like it are the patients waiting in the waiting room... But when they get in, I give them the time too.” - Dr. Lionel Tenby

ing in there because I hear it’s very difficult to get a family doctor these days. To go to a clinic, I don’t think you get the same sort of relationship.” At Monday’s celebration, Tenby paid tribute to his office staff, including Dolly Griffiths, who retired several years ago after 42 years on the job. “He hired me when I really needed a job—that was really important to me—and we got along really well,” said Griffiths, 79. “I can honestly say during all that time we never had any arguments of any kind. He was really good to work for.”

Auctions draw dealers, pickers and ‘buying fanatics’ From Page 1 The fast-talking auctioneer started the Vanguard Road business in 1984 after attending the Western College of Auctioneering in Montana, learning the ways of the gavel from some of the top auctioneers in the U.S. His younger brother Ross also trained at the college and joined him in the business. Martin was working in a flagging construction industry before he made the career switch on the advice of someone who heard Martin singing while swinging a hammer. “My dad had a hobby farm so I attended a lot of auctions in the Fraser Valley, and I was intrigued by it. It was slow in the (construction) industry, so dad said, ‘Hey I’m going to send you to auction school.’ I came back from there and was quite encouraged by what I learned.” TV shows like American Pickers and Antiques Roadshow have stirred more recent interest in picking through used items, which have yielded unique finds such as coffins, a 1940s wine press and a pickupmounted snowplow. Treasures have also been unearthed at weekly auctions at Love’s Auctioneers and Appraisers Ltd. on No. 5 Road, a 99-year-old business that began in Vancouver. Today (Wednesday), Love’s will host an estate collection packed with sports memorabilia. Other recent sales have included a collection of porcelain bells, headstones and even a fire engine.

There have been lots of treasures that have come out of here, especially when we’ve sold off sealed lots,” said April Jones of Love’s. Sealed lots often come from storage containers with unpaid bills. Boxes can’t be opened on site, so bidders have to be willing to take a chance. “You could be buying a whole box of old telephone books and paperwork, [or] it could be located with sterling silver ﬂatware,” said Jones. Buyers are drawn to weekly auctions for constantly changing merchandise, cheap prices and to meet people with similar interests. Jones said others simply have “auc-

tion fever.” “They get caught up in the excitement and the rush of bidding on their items.” Besides its regular offerings, Love’s hosts a special monthly auction with antiques, collectables, fine furnishings and jewelry. Love’s also does appraisals and estate sales, sometimes being called upon to pick through a hoarder’s house. But sometimes gems lie amongst the mess. A recent case involved a man who passed away and left his estate for a church. Love’s picked through the home and pulled out a large collection of native art. “Everything was a mess; it was basically a hoarder’s house,” said Jones. “But we ended up having a very large three-day auction. These items that this man had were going for thousands and thousands of dollars.” For some potential buyers, the thought of bidding at an auction is intimidating. Jones advises new buyers to avoid bidding for the first hour of a sale to understand how it works. Looking over an item before bidding is also important, she said, noting the auction’s “as is, where is” policy. At Marvel Auctions, Marlin Martin said he gets plenty of green customers. He suggests potential bidders predetermine their highest bid for an item they’re interested in. Said Martin: “If they come in and Matthew Hoekstra photo watch a little of what’s going on... On the auction fl oor of Marvel Auctions, Marlin Martin shows off some of most people by the end of the night the items available at Thursday’s auction. feel quite comfortable.”

Crown wants jail for insurance agent who ripped off clients Drivers were unaware they were driving around uninsured by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A former local insurance agent has pled guilty to 25 fraud-related counts following a special investigation launched by the Insurance Corporation of B.C. two years ago. Ka Chun Chan, 49, was working at Admiral Insurance Paciﬁc, 8175 Park Rd., and two Vancouver insurance ﬁrms— New World Insurance and Roswell Insurance—when he stole insurance premiums from his clients. There were about a dozen victims who were unaware they were driving around uninsured. Chan was using the money he stole to gamble, according to an Insurance

Council of B.C. document. On Thursday, Chan appeared in Richmond provincial court, where he entered the guilty pleas to 19 counts of fraud, four counts of theft, and one count of uttering a forged document. Chan is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 21 following the completion of a pre-sentencing report. Crown counsel Louisa Winn said she expects to ask for a jail sentence “in the provincial range” meaning less than two years. The offences occurred between the fall of 2008 and November of 2010, and Chan tried to cover his tracks when confronted by his clients about the cancellation of their coverage. ICBC’s investigation wrapped up in the spring of 2010, but charges weren’t laid until earlier this year. Chan was originally facing 40 counts, but some of those will be dropped following the completion of his sentencing hearing, Winn said.

Police say they believe a minivan, which had been travelling in the slow lane on Highway 99, cut off a Coast Mountain bus Sunday night, causing the bus driver to swerve and crash into a cement barrier. The driver of the bus has been charged with speeding and failing to wear a seatbelt. Charged is Laurence Douglas Brand, 48, of Delta. Nearly two dozen people on the bus were sent to hospital following the crash south of the Oak Street Bridge and near the Cambie Street overpass at 9:20 p.m. Deas Island TrafďŹ c Service Cpl. Aaron Sproule said evidence from the scene and information from witnesses obtained indicate a minivan made an abrupt lane change, causing the bus driver to take evasive action. The bus went down a steep grass embankment, onto an on-ramp, and then swerved back toward the highway, before crashing into a cement barrier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a classic example demonstrating what can happen when drivers fail to pay attention to their speed, their driving, and to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on around them,â&#x20AC;? Sproule said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The results can be catastrophic, especially when travelling at highway speeds.â&#x20AC;? Police are seeking information from other witnesses in the hope of tracking down the minivan and its driver. Call 604-946-2184 if you have information. TransLink spokesperson Drew Snider said the No. 351 bus was travelling northbound in the bus lane on Highway 99, near Cambie Road, when it appears to have tried to avoid another vehicle. When a bus approaches in the bus lane, a series of lights begin to ďŹ&#x201A;ash, warning those using the on-ramp, Snider said. As far as TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aware, this is the first crash of this kind at the newly conďŹ gured on-ramp since it was added about a year ago, he said. After the victims were triaged, 16 people suffering from minor scrapes and bruises were transported to Richmond Hospital, B.C. Ambulance Service superintendent Pascal Rodier said. Four others with more serious injuries were transported by ambulance to Vancouver General Hospital.

said Nancy Bryan, community development co-ordinator for Canadian Blood Services. “It’s basically a blood donor clinic on wheels that makes it easy for people to donate at a location that is easy and comfortable for them.” Donors must be at least 17 years old, weigh 110 pounds or more and be in generally good health. “People can donate blood every two months and you must hydrate well the day before you donate and the day of donation,” Bryan said. “Blood donors should also expect

to rest and not exert themselves for the remainder of the day.”. Be sure you have eaten well at least two hours before donating. It takes a little over an hour to donate blood but if it’s your ﬁrst time, it may take longer, as the clinic staff will spend more time explaining each step to you. According to Canadian Blood Services one blood donation can save up to three lives. “Giving blood is the ultimate altruistic act, and can literally save lives,” added Bryan.

Saturday lunch honours local seniors Henry Beh was surrounded by 500 friends Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;new and old. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what the executive director of the Richmond Chinese Community Society hoped the annual seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lunch, held at the Continental Seafood Restaurant, would yield when he and colleagues came up with the idea nine years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal of the lunch is to promote our members and the community, bring our cultures together, (encourage) health and exchange ideas,â&#x20AC;? said Beh. The City of Richmond has declared Seniors Lunch Day every August since its debut in 2003. And Beh is proud to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never failed to hold itâ&#x20AC;? thanks to the efforts of volunteers and sponsors. This year, the sponsors included National Bank, River Rock Casino Resort, and the Vancouver Shaughnessy Lions Club. Several other Richmond merchants also donated gifts. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;by Don Fennell

Vancouver man arrested after bear paws seized at airport Suspect, 29, faces up to $250,000 fine and six months in prison by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter To airport security screeners for a red-eye flight to China, the X-ray images might have looked like the dismembered hands of a human. As it turned out, Sunday morning’s grisly discovery inside a 39-year-old Vancouver man’s carry-on luggage was actually three black bear paws and part of a bear’s leg, wrapped in tin foil and a plastic bag. Sgt. Dave Jevons, a provincial conservation officer, said his office was contacted about 2 a.m. Sunday to deal with a passenger flying out of Vancouver International Airport. The man was pulled aside after screeners noted something unusual in his bag, and a search

unveiled the bear paws. The man was arrested and charges have been laid under the B.C. Wildlife Act and the federal Wild Animal and Plant Protection and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act. He faces a maximum fine of $250,000 for a ﬁrst offence and/ or six months in prison. Jevons said the skeletal structure of a bear’s paws is similar to a human’s. Bear paws are desired for both their medicinal qualities and as a food delicacy. A market for them still exists in both North America and Asia, but Jevons believes it’s mostly among the older generation that they are coveted for their status as well. Asked how much money the bear paws might fetch overseas, Jevons said he wasn’t sure, but said gall bladders go for between $100 and several hundred dollars. According to an article in The New York Times last year (http://nyti. ms/nVHolr), bear paws are a ritual

dish for the Chinese, and are “the most common commodities in this underground market” with thousands smuggled annually. The investigation is continuing, as ofﬁcers will be looking for how the Vancouver man obtained the paws, and what happened to the other parts of the bear. This is the ﬁrst time, Jevons said, that he or any of his veteran colleagues with two decades under their belt, have seen somebody try to smuggle bear paws in their carry-on luggage. He said they’ve been found in homes, vehicles and shipping containers, to name a few. Stefanie Wudel, spokesperson for Canada Border Services, said stopping the smuggling of protected and/or endangered species is important to ensure their very survival and existence. “The illegal importation or exportation of prohibited or endangered plants and animals is an ongoing concern for (the agency),” she said.

Five people were injured Saturday night when a six-metre Sea Ray speedboat heading east on the Fraser River apparently slammed into a log or perhaps a log boom in the waters on the north side of Mitchell Island and on the east side of the Knight Street Bridge. The incident occurred around 10:45 p.m., and sent three men tumbling into the water, while two other men managed to remain aboard. John Millman, maritime co-ordinator for the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Victoria, said the Canadian Coast Guard hovercraft Penac, and three other fast-response rescue vessels were dispatched to the scene, and pulled the survivors from the water and the wrecked boat. Millman said the operator of the boat indicated that all of those on board were fine. The rescue centre was called by the Vancouver Police, which had been alerted by a concerned citizen after hearing three people yelling for help. —by Martin van den Hemel

ith the American economy continuing to sputter, and the country saddled with an enormous deficit, one of the wealthiest men in the world has come forward, arguing that those who can most afford it should be taxed more heavily.

Billionaire American industrialist and philanthropist Warren Buffet wrote an editorial last Sunday in The New York Times headlined: “Stop Coddling the SuperRich.” “Our leaders have asked for ‘shared sacrifice.’ But when they did the asking, they spared me. I checked with my mega-rich friends to learn what pain they were expecting. They, too, were left untouched.” In his editorial, Buffet gave Americans and the world a peak at the amount of taxes he was paying, only 17.4 per cent of his taxable income. What Buffet wrote makes sense.

Canada hasn’t escaped the worldwide economic slowdown. And although B.C. has fared better than most provinces, the downturn can be seen in the closure of restaurants and businesses all over the city. At a time when British Columbians want to see more money spent on healthcare and education, our political leaders are trying to maintain the status quo, which in effect means less, when factoring in negotiated payroll increases. So where to turn? Perhaps Canada’s mega-rich should take some lumps like the rest of Canadians. Rather than providing Canada’s ultra-rich with more tax breaks, and using the excuse that this could result in more jobcreating investment, our political and government leaders need to try to syphon more money from those who can actually afford it. Seniors on a fixed income, and the middle class, shouldn’t be called upon to supply the money needed to get Canada back on its feet.

Billonaire American industrialist Warren Buffet is advocating governments to “stop coddling the super-rich.”

“My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-

friendly Congress,” Buffet wrote. “It’s time for our government to

get serious about shared sacrifice.” Here here.

promising option for Richmond’s city centre is looking better than ever. It is urban-agriculture research and education led by a local university. When Dr. Kent Mullinix presented the concept in February 2008, Richmond council’s planning committee liked it enough to direct staff to look at 48 acres of the Garden City Lands for it. That was the entire acreage not slated for a trade centre and other big buildings at the time. Kent is a researcher and educator with Kwantlen Polytechnic University, where he is Director of Sus-

tainable Agriculture and Food Security. Since 2008, Kwantlen has teamed with the city and local groups in the innovatively successful Richmond Farm School. The university has a new sustainable agriculture degree program, and Kent directed its development. At my suggestion, we met on the Garden City Lands, since I wondered if the research-and-education concept and that Agricultural Land Reserve parkland are still meant for each other. I now think there could be a solid partnership for mutual benefit. Kent wasn’t looking for perfect soil. For the “land laboratory” the program needs, the fields might include the raised clay fill in the northwest corner. From there, they might extend east along Alderbridge Way to peatland and/or south in the disturbed area along Garden City Road. “We have to learn to make the most of what we’ve got in British Columbia,” he said. Much of the parkland is likely to go to ecological habitat, trails, playgrounds,

etc., within the single ALR unit, but any part of it can become suitable for urban agriculture education and for community gardens and farms. For the Kwantlen program, a small barn would serve as the research centre, and classes would be at the nearby campus on Lansdowne Road. Since the Garden City Lands will be a popular park destination, I suggested interpretive signs about the research and education along trails between the ﬁelds. “A valuable element,” said Kent. In his view of agriculture, “You can’t ask people to appreciate who and what you are if you shun them. You’ve got to invite them in. You’ve got to be part of their lives.” Similarly, he said, “doing world-class research and education here doesn’t mean we can’t work with community groups and community gardeners. In fact, the curriculum will necessitate the students doing that.” Kent mentioned that farms that function well also look well maintained. No doubt the faculty, along with the

city’s excellent parks staff, would ensure that the Garden City Lands are kept up in a ﬁrst-rate way. All of this costs money, and Kent foresaw the university and city pursuing a joint strategy together to bring in federal and provincial funding. Kent said, “In the next three years we’re likely hiring several agriculture faculty focused on urban and near-urban agriculture, teaching soils and pest management and cropping systems. . . .” With Kwantlen, the time to partner in that sort of thing is now. Any concept has ﬂaws. Personally, though, I think Richmond council members were brilliant to encourage the urban agriculture education concept. Way back in February 2008, they somehow looked ahead to when it would be feasible in the city centre on the Garden City Lands. Jim Wright is president of the Garden City Lands Coalition Society.

letters RCMP has to walk a thin line Editor: Re: “RCMP needs to be accountable, not arrogant,” Letters, Aug. 10. I am not a Mountie, nor have I ever been one. We all agree that the death of Mr. Robert Dziekanski was a tragedy. It was the unintended outcome of a police use-of-force event. I am not saying that mistakes were not made but I am saying that they were mistakes. As for Mr. Robert Dziekanski, when I saw the video he did not look that innocent, but his actions did not warrant the outcome. But as I said it was an “unintended outcome.” Then we move on to the same RCMP officer killing a second “innocent man” in a motor vehicle crash. It is my understanding from documents in the media that the motorcyclist had an alcohol level above the legal limit and was speeding. I must question the letter-writer’s use of the word “innocent.” Facts are facts—it is nice to have them straight, lest one be criticized in the media. I am not saying that there were no wrongdoings; in fact the RCMP are not saying that either. One of the benefits of being a member of the RCMP is that after the public courts are finished with you, you may look forward to a second trial by RCMP where the standard of proof is much lower. The RCMP hire from the same pool of humans as the rest of us, and those people make mistakes. Ever see the name of a mechanic in the newspaper for botching a muffler repair? We talk loosely of “life and death decisions”— the police make them. It may be their lives or someone else’s life, those

decisions may be made in a fraction of a second. And sometimes they are “damned if you do and damned if you don’t.” Then the public and the media have months to pore over the decision for possible defects. Of course unlike the mechanic, the event is publicized.

Yes, the RCMP should be held to a higher standard, and they are by the courts, by the public and by their own internal discipline. Yes, the RCMP should be held to a higher standard, and they are by the courts, by the public and by their own internal discipline. Do you know who dictates how employees may be disciplined? The courts! If RCMP act too harshly and dismiss the employee then that decision is torn apart by the courts and often overturned, resulting in an additional financial burden. RCMP management walks a thin line. They understand the stress of the job, the nature of the work and the need to care for the employee. At the same time they are trying to maintain a very high standard in the ranks and answer to the needs of the public. All this while managing the greatest intangible of all, human beings. Yes I love the life of an armchair quarterback, or in this case an armchair cop! No personal risk, no risk to my life and we get to accuse, second guess and name-call. Scott Stewart Richmond

letters Here’s to giving kids a summer of memories Editor: I would like to offer kudos to the summer volunteers and employees that are involved with kids of all ages. From tots to teens, youngsters have been engaged in all kinds of sports and activities thanks to the guys and gals who have offered their

time and seemingly tireless efforts to motivating kids to become engaged in healthy, fun-filled physical activities and not glued behind the computer for hours at a time. Even at my age, I know what it’s like to become “obsessed” with a computer game!

Hats off also to all the Moms and Dads who are not “too busy” to get out, interact, play and have fun with their kids. You are strengthening family bonds and building memories that will last for years to come. D. Weston Richmond

We need to uphold the values that make this nation so unique Editor: Recent tragedy in Norway, riots in the U.K. and the growing sentiments against immigration and multiculturalism don’t bode well for the international community. This is more so for countries like Canada. For the past couple of years, these issues have been front-page news in most of the European countries. As a matter of fact, the leaders of countries like Germany and Great Britain have declared multiculturalism as a failure in their countries. In view of all of these developments overseas, Canada needs to be more proactive than before in addressing the issues of immigration and multiculturalism. Fortunately, here we have quite different dynamics than in Europe. First, the mere geographical location of this country offers as a kind of buffer against some of the problems facing Europe. It is a bit more difﬁcult for undesirable people to enter Canada than it is in Europe. This serves as a natural screen to keep most of the shady characters and troublemakers out. Second, Canada was founded by two nations—English and French. Along with that was a very rich pre-existing Aboriginal culture. Thus, despite occasional conﬂicts, Canada has a long history of different cultures living side by side. Furthermore, the history of immigration from China, Japan and South Asia goes a long way. This gradual

fusion of cultures has been a great facilitator of multiculturalism in Canada. Third, Canadians are more open minded, compassionate, accepting of cultural diversity. Even those who have diverse opinions about these issues express their views and concerns in a civilized and respectful manner. Four, to their credit, every level of government in Canada—federal, provincial and local—has been making an earnest effort in promoting tolerance and harmony between different cultures. Canada was the ﬁrst country in the Western world to ofﬁcially adopt multiculturalism in early 1970s. Finally, the international image of Canada as a country of peace, prosperity, stability, mutual respect and understanding goes a long way in shaping people’s thinking. It is considered to one of the best, if not the best, country to live in. However, as Canadians, we shouldn’t take anything for granted. We live in a global village. Thus, if something happens in one corner of the world, it does have an impact everywhere. Consequently, it is incumbent upon all of us to uphold the values that make this nation so unique. Rather than being complacent, we need to learn the lessons from the troubles in Europe in order to avoid the pitfalls that are affecting that continent these days. Balwant Sanghera Richmond

We went to Vancouver Island recently to sightsee and decide as we went along. We were left “stranded” if we wanted to visit one of the smaller Islands to see if it would ﬁt in our time over there (since) we didn’t have any schedule to look at the times of the ferries. When we spoke to ferry staff about it, they said they’ve had a lot of complains from travelers but nothing has changed.

Regional champion Kigoos hosting BC’s Richmond swimmers may be poised to end club’s 20-year drought as provincial titlists by Don Fennell Sports Editor Bouyed by another dominating victory at the Fraser South Regional Swim Championships, the Richmond Kigoos head into this week’s provincial meet at Watermania hoping to end a long drought. Though they’re perennial summer swimming

powers, it’s been 20 years since the Kigoos won a B.C. title. That was in 1991 when Super Nintendo was the hottest game console on the entertainment market and the Minnesota Twins defeated the Atlanta Braves in the World Series. It’s not like the Kigoos haven’t been close. They have frequently placed in the top three since,

and last year finished second to the Vancouver Vikings. “It would be nice to break the drought,” said head coach Benji Hutton. “We are consistently in the top three in our events and also boast the most relays of any team in the province. We have winning the provincial championships on our mind.”

ing to Hutton. “He’s very focused and determined to do well in his events,” said Hutton, who attributes Ball’s success in part to a natural ability (which he appears to have inherited from his parents who were both fast swimmers in their own right as youth) as well as his coach Liam Finlay. A pure sprinter who ranks ﬁrst in the province in freestyle, Ball is particularly dominant over 50 metres. He placed ﬁrst or second in each of his events at regionals among Division 3 boys. Fellow Division 3 swimmers Michael Ge and Jacob Lee also earned provincial qualifying times. Division 2 swimmer Vincent Lee is another youngster also armed with great potential, said Hutton. “He’s super-focused and got the mental side of things down well,” explained Hutton. See Page 22

Richmond athletes played a big part in Team BC’s most impressive medal haul in recent history at the 2011 Western Canada Summer Games which ended Sunday in Kamloops. Earning medals in every sport, the 345 athletes from around B.C. combined for 130 gold, 68 silver and 63 bronze medals, an increase of 32 per cent over the previous-best 197 won at the 2007 Games. “The talent pool of athletes in this province is deep,” said Team BC Chief de Mission Irene Schell. “I look forward to following these athletes as they continue their journey to the top of national and international podiums.” Alphabetically, here’s how the Richmondites fared:

The work is scheduled to begin in at the end of July and continue until at least the end of September. The hours of work on most days will be from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., with occasional evening work. Please watch for the electronic signs that will show any change in hours of construction work. All businesses and residences along this section will continue to have access.

Richmond Businesses Unite to support Richmond United Soccer Team

A highly successful season saw Richmond United U18 Selects soccer team topping the ranks in BC before going on to win against some of the best teams in Washington state and Oregon.

They’re so adorable when they’re having fun. (So are the kids.)

Richmond businesses united to send the team to the prestigious Santa Clara Tournament in Santa Clara California. Richmond U18 selects were the only Canadian Team to be invited to the Tournament and came in second of their group at Santa Clara. The team was eventually knocked out in the play-off rounds but showed Coaches and Scouts present what Canada could produce in the way of young talent. Some players may play college level soccer thanks to hard training plus an opportunity to show, in part made possible by the Richmond Business team that assisted. The Richmond United U18 Soccer Selects thanks Richmond Businesses United for the assist.

At Timbits Soccer, everyone gets into the game. Kids make new friends, and parents have fun cheering them on. Your local Tim Hortons is proud to support the over 9,200 boys and girls who play Timbits soccer in the Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley area.

Players step up for pair of exhibition ball games by Don Fennell Sports Editor Serj Sangara says he was simply trying to help out a friend, but his buddy, the coach of the provincial Midget AAA baseball champion Kamloops RiverDogs, insists the gesture was anything but routine. Last Tuesday, Sean Wandler contacted Sangara hoping for assistance in arranging a couple of exhibition games for the RiverDogs prior to the Western Canadian championships Aug. 25 to 28 in Victoria. Less than 48 hours later Sangara was able to book a doubleheader Saturday at Richmond’s Latrace Field by convincing a group of Douglas College Royals to put together a squad, and then encouraging the Richmond City Chuckers’ junior men’s team (which two weeks ago won the B.C. Tier 2 title) to pull out the gear one more time. “The way the baseball community stepped up

return the favour.” The Douglas boys won the ﬁrst of the challenge games 10-2, and the Chuckers came back for a 3-2 victory in the bottom of the eighth in the second game. The Dugout Club, a not-

“MARISKA” NEEDS A GOOD HOME WITH YOU!

“MARISKA,” #221953, YOUNG ADULT, SF, DSH

My name is Mariska and I am sure lucky! A Good Samaritan in Abbotsford found me in their carport with a broken pelvis and rushed me to their local vet where the SPCA rescued me and gave me all my medical care and love I needed to get better. Since recovering, I am now ready to go into a forever home where I will be safe and given plenty of cuddles. I will adjust quickly to a new environment, and, BONUS....I still love to talk and play!

> Garlic Festival at The Sharing Farm

Garlic celebration

rmed with enough garlic to ward off all of the world’s vampires, The Sharing Farm hosted its third annual Garlic Festival at Terra Nova Rural Park last Sunday.

Thousands came out and enjoyed live music, a silent auction, face painting, arts and crafts and garlic ice cream, which sold out within the first hour. The Sharing Farm sold fresh flowAround Town ers, herbs, organic vegetables and of Amanda Oye course, garlic. The Garlic Festival “started about three years ago when we planted garlic,” said Arzeena Hamir, the event organizer. They harvested the garlic and then sold it as a fundraiser for The Sharing Farm. “It sold out within an hour,” she said. The following year they grew more garlic and doubled their sales. The festival expanded again this year, raising over $6,000 for The Sharing Farm. They also had more garlic than ever. “We really went all out,” Hamir said. “We grew three varieties this year, Music, Hornby and Russian Softneck,” she said. Garlic is one product where the difference between locally grown and imported is very noticeable. “It makes a huge difference in flavour,” Hamir said. Locally grown garlic probably has ten times more flavour than imported garlic, according to Hamir.
