Speeding teens in luxury cars face fines by Tracy Holmes Black Press More than a dozen high-end vehicles spotted southbound on Highway 99 at speeds estimated at up to 200 km/h were seized in South Surrey and White Rock Wednesday. White Rock RCMP Const. Janelle Shoihet said police in the two communities were tasked to assist Deas Island RCMP, after the highway patrol fielded several complaints regarding the fast-paced vehicles coming out of the Massey Tunnel around 3:30 p.m. All 13 of the vehicles were travelling “well over the posted speed limit,” Shoihet said, and included Ferraris, Maseratis and Lamborghinis—a combined value of more than $2 million. While no charges had been filed by press time, sources say some of the drivers are from Richmond. Witnesses on the highway reported seeing on several occasions two of the luxury cars travelling side-by-side then slowing down to allow two other vehicles in front of them to race. The drivers—all 20 years old and younger, according to police—face charges of driving without due consideration for others. They are to be fined $196, and their vehicles have been impounded for a week. “You’re talking about young males, and obviously, they have a lot of money,” said Supt. Norm Gaumont, of the Lower Mainland Traffic Services. “Hopefully, it’ll teach them a lesson.”

Families left homeless after fire Firefighters responded to two blazes Wednesday morning in opposite ends of city by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Acrid smoke still filled the air around Dockside Village in Steveston yesterday, where two days earlier a fire left a dozen people homeless. The townhouse complex’s common room was filled Thursday afternoon with children playing video games and watching TV. All had been displaced by the fire. One family with no place to go—a single mom with four kids—returned to the scene of the fire, vividly recalling early Wednesday morning. “I had this feeling I had to bring my daughter in my room with me that night, and usually she sleeps in her own room, which is the one closer to the fire,” said mom Maria Carmen Froess, a music teacher. Froess woke up around 4 a.m. to the smell of something burning and the sound of wood crackling. She looked out the window and saw a fire she said appeared as “an upsidedown waterfall.” “I screamed to my daughter, ‘There’s a fire!’ So she woke up her brothers, and I told her to grab the hamster and I’ll grab the fish and call 911.” Richmond Fire-Rescue responded to the three-storey subsidized housing complex at 12500 Trites Rd. shortly thereafter. Flames engulfed at least one of the units before crews put out the blaze in a two-hour fight. Two adjacent suites—including the one belonging to the Froess family, who had no insurance—were also damaged. No one was injured in the fire, Richmond Fire-Rescue reported.

ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT TO WIN

Matthew Hoekstra photo Maria Carmen Froess, her daughter Sarah, 15 and three other songs, ages 10 to 17, have lost their home for at least three months due to a ﬁre.

The city’s emergency social services team assisted nearly a dozen people and arranged temporary accommodation for them. Fire ofﬁcials are still investigating the cause of the blaze. Dockside Village is a 40-unit complex owned by BC Housing and operated by More Than A Roof Housing Society. Christine McWilliams, manager of the complex, said the ﬁre left 12 people homeless. Displaced residents stayed in a hotel this week, but McWilliams said the families will be out of their suites for at least three months, so the society is now trying to make alternate living arrangements for them. McWilliams said a number of people have come forward with offers

to help, but noted two of the families, including another single mom and daughter, had no insurance are in dire straits. “They lost everything. They don’t even have a toothbrush. Every single thing is gone,” said McWilliams. “The little girl is upset—she had all her back-to-school stuff ready.” Anyone wishing to help can do so by making a donation to More Than A Roof Housing Society, which has set up a special account for the families. Tax receipts are available. Donations of quality furniture and household items are also welcome. Contact McWilliams at 604-271-2592. Richmond Fire-Rescue also responded to another call Wednesday morning. Crews arrived to 10220 Bird Rd. just before 9 a.m. to ﬁnd a

hedge fire. The blaze had spread to a fence and siding of the house, but was quickly doused by firefighters. Fire officials are investigating, but the small fire is being blamed on “careless disposal of embers,” said city spokesperson Kim Decker. Decker said firefighters responded to a few other small fires last week in which hot embers were the cause— in one case a cigarette. She said fire officials are warning residents to take extra precautions with open flames given recent dry weather. “The conditions right now are just so dry that they’re perfect for this type of fire. The two [fires] today were extremely damaging and there was the potential for loss of life— there wasn’t—but there definitely was the potential.”

Riot crowd gathered early, review finds Police were greatly outnumbered by Tom Fletcher Black Press Fewer than 500 police officers found themselves dealing with a crowd of 155,000 hockey fans and troublemakers who gathered much more quickly than they expected, a review of the Stanley Cup riot has found. Police started out with 446 officers on the streets of downtown Vancouver the night of June 15, and had 928 on duty by the time the situation was brought under control, said a report issued Thursday by two reviewers appointed by the B.C. government. Unlike the 1994 Stanley Cup riot, police from different cities were able to communicate, but due to a lack of practice working together, there was still confusion, the report said. Another difference from 1994 was the expansion of the SkyTrain service in the region, which rapidly delivered many more people to the downtown core. The police “meet and greet” technique that was effective during similar downtown gatherings at the Olympics in February could not function

because of the size and early arrival of the crowd, said Doug Keefe, the former Nova Scotia deputy minister who conducted the review along with former Vancouver Olympic CEO John Furlong. The report makes 53 recommendations to prevent or contain future incidents, including having the RCMP and Vancouver Police tactical squads train together. Police and fire services across the region should have a clear framework for covering major regional events. Furlong said downtown “live sites” such as those set up for home games of the Stanley Cup playoffs need to have secure fencing and control over coming and going. “Vancouver’s downtown became a stadium that night— but without all the traditional and critical amenities that deliver a safe stadium experience,” Furlong said. “Officials tried to do a good thing and acted with great courage but their plans were overwhelmed and their mistakes amplified by the impact of an immense crowd far beyond what was expected. Alcohol fuelled those bent on destruction and it resulted in a nightmare that embarrassed and shocked the city, the province and the country.” Only two charges were laid as of this week against rioters. Vancouver Police launched a

website Tuesday with pictures to help the public identify offenders caught by the many cameras that were used the night of the riot. Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu said he wants a full collection of evidence so people

who committed major offences don’t get off with lesser punishment. Police asked City of Vancouver ofﬁcials to make the outdoor gathering a ticketed event and check everyone for alcohol, but there wasn't time to orga-

nize that, Keefe said. And the 100,000 people who massed in the streets outside the live site led to the congestion and confusion that allowed looting and vandalism to continue for several hours. Regional co-operation and

planning would have helped, but there is no indication that a new regional police service would help, the reviewers said. The full report is available at www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/vancouverriotreview/

Grandma poo-poos pool policy at South City says rule forbidding spectators on pool deck is for safety reasons by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A grandmother is protesting a policy at South Arm Pool that forbids people from loitering on the pool deck. “Our rights have been taken away from us,” said Valdean Brown. “Only lifeguards are able to stand around the big wide cement area around the pool.” Brown contacted The Richmond Review this week after arriving at South Arm with her three grandchildren, ages 11 to 13. Brown had planned to watch the kids from the pool deck, but was told she couldn’t.

Brown said she has visited the pool many times over many years, but hasn’t been to the city-owned outdoor pool for two years. That’s about when the policy was introduced, forcing sunbathers and spectators to head to a down-sloping picnic area or other areas away from the pool deemed permissible by staff. “I stood on a picnic table so I could see my grandchildren,” said Brown, who said she met other women who had a similar complaint. She’s urging the city to create viewing areas close to the pool where spectators can watch as they used to “for years and years.” Pool staff say there’s been a handful of complaints since the policy was introduced, but note it was implemented for safety reasons, said city spokesperson Kim Decker. Decker said when the pool deck was open, patrons blocked emergency areas and walkways, and brought food onto the deck, near the pool

water, which isn’t permitted under health rules. And although the picnic area does slope downward, much of it is level and often isn’t full, said Decker. She noted spectators can also watch from an area near the pool’s cubbyholes. Decker added that children must be at least seven years old to be in the pool without adult supervision. “It is a problem,” said Decker. “When their children are under the age of seven the adult accompanying them must be within arm’s reach at all times.”

Richmond’s second $7 million Lotto 6/49 winner steps forward The winner of the other $7 million Lotto 6/49 ticket bought in Richmond has now come forward. Eddie Uy of Richmond won the jackpot from the August 3 draw. His is the second winning Lotto 6/49 ticket over $7 million sold in Richmond in August. Fisherman Van Hen Lu, and his wife Thieu Mai Ly, won a $7.2 million jackpot on August 17. Uy has played the same numbers for 21 years, matching all six on the Lotto 6/49 draw to win the $7 Million jackpot.

“I was going through my usual routine when I checked my tickets; I woke up early, made my lunch and got ready for work,” said Uy as he received his cheque at B.C. Lottery Corporation’s Vancouver ofﬁce Wednesday afternoon. “Then I rubbed my eyes and couldn’t believe what I was seeing.” Uy’s future plans include buying a new house and investing for retirement. —by Bhreandain Clugston

Vancouver parking prices not world class yet It may seem like it costs a fortune to park in downtown Vancouver. But a new survey of parking rates shows it’s actually a bargain here compared to many cities around the globe. Parking on average costs $20 a day in Vancouver, according to Colliers International. That’s about 25 per cent higher than the average for both Canadian and U.S. major cities. But Calgary and Toronto motorists both pay more – $25 and $23 a day respectively. -by Jeff Nagel

Province issues annual ﬁnancial disclosure statements for top public sector executives Salary for ex-Kwantlen boss tips $250,000 by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s highest paid executive in 2010-11 was David Atkinson. Atkinson, who quit his post as university president June 30, earned a total of $250,984, according to financial disclosure statements released by the B.C. government Tuesday.

Kwantlen’s second highest paid staffer was Gordon Lee, vice-president of finance and administration, who earned $191,504. John McKendry, acting provost and vicepresident of academic services, was third in pay, collecting $157,082. McKendry has since been appointed acting president, while Atkinson has moved on to Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton, where he serves as university president. The salaries pale in comparison with Richmond’s other major provincial public sector body, WorkSafeBC. CEO David Anderson earned $452,860, with chief financial officer Steve Barnett close behind, collecting a compensation package of $436,296. Third in pay was vice-president Roberta Ellis, who earned $347,341. Topping the money-earners at Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, the administrator of health services in Richmond,

The B.C. government’s carbon neutrality program is working, but it needs changes, Environment Minister Terry Lake says. Lake spoke to a conference of senior federal officials in Victoria Monday, reminding them that B.C. is the first state or provincial government in North America to be “carbon neutral,” requiring public services to offset carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions by buying credits from the government’s Pacific Carbon Trust. The offset payments are used to fund emission reduction projects, and to create an incentive for managers to find ways to reduce fuel consumption. The requirement covers not only provincial ministries but school districts and health authorities, and Lake acknowledges that has been controversial because beneficiaries include private resource companies. “I think the principles are correct, but the implementation needs to be worked on,” Lake said in an interview. “I think people would prefer that when we see public institutions putting money into the Pacific Carbon Trust for instance, that there should be a direct correlation coming back to those organizations to help them reduce their carbon footprint.”

The health authority’s Jeff Coleman, previously head of Richmond Hospital and now vice-president of regional programs and service integration, cracked the top-five, earning $300,982. But Richmond Hospital’s boss, chief operating officer Susan Wannamaker, didn’t make the short list.

The financial disclosure statements released this week include only the top five executives. This is the fourth year the province has made such information available. Across B.C., the top paid public sector executive was T.M. Bechard, managing director of Powerex, a subsidiary of BC Hydro. Bechard earned $1.01 million in 2010-11.

Premier to wait until 2013 to seek mandate

Black Press Premier Christy Clark has ended months of speculation, announcing she will wait until the scheduled date of May 2013 to face the voters in a general election. Since winning the B.C. Liberal leadership vote in February, Clark has questioned whether she has a sufﬁcient mandate to govern until the election date specified in provincial law. She reversed that position in interviews with selected Vancouver media outlets Wednesday. Clark denied that the defeat of the harmonized sales tax or party polling changed her mind. In various interviews, she emphasized the instability of the world economy and the lack of a public appetite for another election this year. NDP leader Adrian Dix said the government’s unpopularity after the two-year HST furore and

Mayors to push for TransLink container tax A tax on each shipping container that passes through Metro Vancouver is being eyed by area mayors as one way to help ﬁnance transit expansion without digging as deeply into the wallets of local residents. With 2.5 million containers passing through the port each year, even a $10 per container tax would generate $25 million a year – more than a third of the $70 million a year TransLink needs to raise to ﬁnance both the Evergreen Line and a broader package of transit upgrades. TransLink’s current proposal calls for a two-centper-litre increase in the gas tax to raise $40 milllion a year, with the remaining $30 million to come from other sources negotiated later with the province. If there’s no agreement within a year on the new sources – such as a vehicle levy, road pricing or a second carbon tax – property taxes would go up temporarily instead. A container tax will be pursued in the fall as one possible alternative, said North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton.

its lack of new ideas are the reason for the reversal. After being sworn in as premier, Clark appointed an election readiness committee chaired by cabinet minister Rich Coleman and Brad Bennett, son of former

premier Bill Bennett. Election preparations recently cost Clark a cabinet minister, as Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner stepped down as attorney-general in August, citing the pressure to name a campaign team for a possible fall

election. B.C.’s election law specifies a provincial election every four years, but reserves the traditional right of the government to deal with unusual circumstances such as death or resignation.

technic University students will have access to a special shuttle bus this fall.

It comes as part of a modified U-Pass system (known as Multi-Pass) for Kwantlen students, and it is yet another proof of the inadequacy of the transit system south of the Fraser. Last summer, Kwantlen students organized a unique test to see just how easy it was to get from the Surrey campus in Newton to the Langley campus. One student cycled, one used the transit system and one ran. Not too surprisingly, the cyclist arrived first, in just under an hour. But what was quite surprising is that the runner also beat the bus, arriving 13 minutes before the student who took transit arrived. The shuttle bus service will run between the Langley, Cloverdale and Surrey campuses. It will allow students and staff to more easily get to classes or meetings at another campus, without the cost of driving and the challenge of finding a parking place, which can be difficult. With Multi-Passes, Kwantlen students will still be able to use the transit system as well, and undoubtedly some

will use it to get to the Langley campus. But given the fact that most Langley residents have very limited access to transit, it is doubtful that too many from Langley will be able to use the U-Passes in the way that students in Vancouver, Burnaby and Richmond do.

Kwantlen student leaders and administrators are to be commended for coming up with a creative idea which should work well for both students and staff. While students will pay $40 per month instead of the $30 they would pay for a standard U-Pass, they will be able to use

the transit system, the shuttle bus and get access to several other services, including Car2Go. The Kwantlen solution to the transportation problem is one that civic politicians should bring up every chance they can. They need to impress on provincial MLAs and

s it evil for a parent to be thankful that school is starting again? I hope not because I sure am looking forward to getting the kids back onto a schedule and where math doesn’t involve counting their pennies to make sure you have enough to buy a Slurpee. One of the biggest sources of consternation, however, is the dreaded

school lunch. I have a personal pet peeve around lunches that make noise when you open them. You know, everything in packages, crinkling as they’re opened, and filling up the garbage can to no end. The only sound that should come from a lunch, in my humble opinion, is the crunch of carrots as they’re chewed. Crisp apple bites are also acceptable. I am a firm believer that every lunch should have at least one piece of raw fruit or vegetable. And this rule bothers my kids to no end. Why, because their friends are noshing on things like Bear Claws and chips and the only fruit-like item is in the form of some kind of elasticized product known as a Roll-Up. What percentage of fruit that is actually in it is arguable. And, as much as I hate

having to figure out what to make for school lunches again, I know some kids are going to school with no lunch at all. Richmond has a very high child poverty rate and you just have to ask teachers to know how difficult it is to try to instruct hungry (or sugared-up) kids. So it was so refreshing to hear that a movement has started in British Columbia to bring farm-fresh produce into schools. The Farm-toSchool program, funded in large part by the Public Health Association of BC, targeted schools in the Interior, North, and Vancouver Island to allow children to connect with farms and eat produce from their own community. For farmers, it means a steady income and for kids, many of them eat raw produce for the first time in the form of a weekly Salad Bar. Often,

the kids would take field trips to the farm to see where their food grows and who grows it. Farmers become superheroes! For years, these programs were only available to schools in outlying areas. In 2011, Farm-toSchool was launched in the Lower Mainland. Five schools were going to pilot the program. Richmond was meant to be the site of one of these pilots. The other schools in Vancouver on the North Shore were able to cobble together about $1,500 per class to start. Richmond found a funding partner to donate $20,000. The other schools are going ahead as of September 2011. Richmond is not. After a year of negotiation, apparently no school was willing to host the program in Richmond. So now, the money has disappeared too. What a huge missed

letters Extending Rice Mills Road would ease Steveston and No. 5 congestion Editor: The Steveston Highway and No. 5 Road intersection is my nightmare it affects my life and has forced me to change my habits. It shouldn’t be that way. City council allows for more and more density in Richmond and is responsible to also allow for more and more infrastructure improvements. This intersection is gridlock at rush hour and if there is a accident or stall anytime of the day it can be a extremely slow intersection to get through. The city owns land on the south side of Steveston Highway that needs to be developed into more lanes to move the trafﬁc through the intersection. The grass is pretty, but what we need is pavement. Townline homes has allowed in their development plans at the Gardens for widening of Steveston Highway on its block, east of No. 5 Road. and the city needs to take responsibility across the street. I travel often away for the weekend and the worst part of my trip is not the border or Highway 99, but the Steveston Highway and No. 5 Road intersection—my vacation begins when l get through that mess. The Ministry of Transportation is responsible for Highway 99 and the overpass and we will probably have to wait for eternity before we see any improvements there, but there is another option. Rice Mill Road could be extended to Steveston Highway on the east side of Highway 99 diverting trafﬁc away from the disastrous intersection of Highway 99 and Steveston Highway. There is already an overpass over Highway 99 now and it could be better utilized. The glitch in the plan to connect Rice Mill Road and Steveston Highway is the land needed is in the Agricultural Land Reserve, but l suggest that a minimal amount of land be used for the road and that the road be adjacent to the Fraser Wharves car lot. The city could also expropriate land from the Fraser Wharves lot as an alternative to removing land from the ALR.

Would extending Rice Mill Road help alleviate trafﬁc problems at No. 5 and Steveston?

Either way the beneﬁt to the environment would be a substantial decrease in harmful automotive emissions and that’s good for everyone. Carol Day Richmond

What comes around goes around for Conservatives Editor: I've just returned from Jack Layton's celebration of life in Toronto. I was going to ignore the recent letter by Kevin Seney that commented negatively on my particular style of continual opposition to the Harper Conservatives. But I'm not about to do that. After listening to a nasty parade of vitriolic conservative call-ins on CKNW radio in the hours and days following Jack Layton's death, reading the similarly veined postfuneral attacks on Jack Layton by Conservative pundits such as Christie Blatchford and Ezra Levant, and recalling the nature and

content of the nasty career and reputation ending Conservative attack ads before and during the last couple of elections, I think my occasional anti-Conservative comments fall under the category of throwing rose petals at the feet of Conservatives in general, albeit laced with the odd thorn. What comes around goes around, and the Conservatives are long overdue for a taste of same. Jack Layton espoused an optimistic social democratic view of the world, one that I fully supported by running in several federal elections for Jack despite Richmond being considered an un-winnable

riding. Jack was exactly as we saw him, but he was also a moderating inﬂuence on activists such as myself who espoused a much more vocal and focused opposition to the Conservatives. But I'm not Jack Layton and never will be, and he's now gone. We are all a product of our life experiences. I'm an ex-military veteran of Middle Eastern wars and I catch bad people for a living. I do what comes naturally for me, as Jack did what came naturally for him. You can expect only more of the same from me. Dale Jackaman Richmond

Litter-less lunches anyone? Editor: Re: “Richmond ﬁrm delivers on hot lunch promise for schools,” Richmond Review, Aug. 26. I cringed when I saw all those plastic containers used to deliver hot lunches for children at school. More waste and pollution. We all have a responsibility towards the environment. What happened to “reduce, reuse and recycle?” It takes ﬁve minutes to make a lunch, is this too much to ask? J. Henri Richmond

Trailer causes a hitch Editor: I ﬁnd inconceivable that the City of Richmond has allowed Onni to place it’s construction site trailer on city property between Bayview and the boardwalk. When they gravelled and widened the walkway east of where site trailer is that was used by the Anglers, we assumed (mistake) that the equipment was going to be placed there. The wife and I were mortiﬁed to see the trailer being lowered into position. Onni have two parcels of land. Why can they not place their equipment on one whilst working on the other? That trailer has cut off access from the boardwalk to the community centre via the street east of No. 1 Road. The roundabout and sidewalk are maintained by Richmond taxpayer dollars, not Onni, and the access should be returned to us. Graham Swindell Richmond

letters RVers need local sani-station Editor: I am very frustrated with city council. I had contacted them before summer inquiring about putting in a sani-station for recreational vehicles in Richmond. Now summer is almost over and nothing has happened. We only had one sani-station close to us, in Ladner, and we went there last weekend only to ﬁnd it shut down. Now where do we go? The closest one now is in Surrey. This is unacceptable to us as we live in Richmond and have many RVers living here as well. Where do we go to dump?

I believe our city council just doesn’t care. I would like to know how many RVers are in agreement with us that we need something here. As for all the tourists that come up from the U.S. and abroad where are they supposed to dump? Look down any road in Richmond and you will see some kind of RV in driveways. Sure some people go to places with sani-stations on site but we like to go to places that only have dry camping. We need something done. Lisa Nowak Richmond

Editor: This is in response to Rosemary Casson and her son’s unfortunate experience at the bike park (“Show caution at bike park,” Letters, Aug. 26). The careless bike riding of the teenager who seriously injured her son, then the lack of sympathy from him afterwards, absolutely angered me. Can’t that teenager be charged with reckless bike riding causing severe bodily harm or something? Did the Casson family go to the RCMP and report this, because this is a pretty serious incident?

If there’s going to be a bike park, then those who use it must do so in a responsible manner. What angers me even more is that the teenager’s father was there too and had to apologize for his son’s reckless behaviour. How sad! To the father of that teenager, how unfortunate that you’ve raised an uncaring and unfeeling monster. No doubt, this isn’t the ﬁrst nor will this be the last reckless incident with your son, unless you actually have the guts to administer some tough love onto him. To the Casson family, all the

best to you amd kudos to your son Sidney for being such a brave kid. This unfortunate experience shouldn’t keep him from biking at the bike park. Perhaps record Sidney’s rides on a video camera or the camera of a cell phone next time. That way not only do you have wonderful memories of him, but also should anything happen, you can take it to the authorities and it won’t be a case of your word and against some reckless, uncaring teenager.

How to protect those berries Editor: I’m not a blueberry farmer, but live close to the ﬁelds and have some bushes on my own. My suggestion to stop the “disappearing berries”: Put two full time berry pickers in the ﬁeld for

the month of August. They would be a presence and pick the berries that ripen all through the month, in stead of drying up or falling on the ground and give the next berries a chance to grow bigger. The cost would be minimal, since

the farmers only pay a pittance, and offset by the extra berries, Talking of spray in our time of organic farming, could do more harm than good for the business. H.J. Ruger Richmond

Series helps Richmond caregivers Topics include dealing with dementia issues A few hours could make a huge difference in the lives of Richmond caregivers. The free Family Caregiver Series, starting on Sept. 6, will explain effective ways to care for a person with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia. “For family caregivers, the commitment can last many years, and can bring with it high stress levels and illness,” explains Anthony Kupferschmidt, the regional support and education coordinator for the non-proﬁt Alzheimer Society of B.C., which is putting on the series. “It’s very important for caregivers to take care of themselves. They need to eat well, exercise and get enough rest so they can remain healthy.” Those points will be emphasized during the workshops, which are designed for family members who are caring for a person with dementia. The series runs on Tuesdays from Sept. 6 through Oct. 4 from 2 to 4 p.m., in Richmond. Pre-registration is required as space is limited; contact Kupferschmidt at 604-2387390 or anthonyk@ alzheimerbc.org Topics to be covered in the series include: •Understanding Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. •Effective and creative

ways of facilitating communication with a person with dementia. •Problem solving for behaviours that concern us. •Planning ahead to ensure the wishes of the person with dementia are honoured, and understanding the health care system. •Self-care for caregivers. The Alzheimer Society of B.C. was formed to alleviate the personal and social consequences of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, to promote public awareness and to search for the causes and the cures.

VW hopes U.S.-built Passat will grow North American sales by Lorne Drury Special to Black Press Volkswagen is intent on growing its car business in North America and has put its money where its hopes lie. A new (US) $1.1 billion assembly plant was ofﬁcially opened in late May in Chattanooga, Tenn. to build the redesigned 2012 Passat sedan. The new Passat will arrive at Canadian dealerships in late September and it has been tailored to the North American buyer, said John White, president of Volkswagen Canada at Passat. Larger in every way than the previous Passat which was last sold here as a 2010 model, the

2012 Passat has the longest wheelbase among its core competitors and has best-in-class interior room. While it is classiﬁed as mid-size, in reality it is more like a full-size car. But what is most intriguing is the price. Starting at $23,975 in Canada, the new Passat is $3,800 cheaper than the outgoing model and $7,000 less than in 2008. Volkswagen hopes to sell about 8,000 of them a year in Canada, a huge jump from the 3,644 combined Passat and Passat CC units that were sold for the2010 model year. While small cars dominate in Canada, the mid-size or inter-

mediate class is key to the U.S. car market. So for Volkswagen, the Passat’s success is important and part of a new strategy, which involves building cars in the markets where they are sold. Fully 85 per cent of all components of the new

Jetta are sourced from North American suppliers, helping eliminate currency ﬂuctuations and import duties, both of which play havoc with the pricing. The 2012 Passat comes to Canada with a wide choice of powertrains and trim levels,

with prices topping out at $37,475 for a V6 Highline with automatic transmission. It is expected about 90 per cent of overall volume will be split between a 2.5-litre ﬁve-cylinder gasoline engine and a 2.0-litre turbo diesel.

Healthy recipes start here

Food for Thought Arlene Kroeker

eel that? How is it the body always knows that summer as we know it is ending and the new school year is about to begin? My daughter attends post-secondary, so I still feel it, as a mother prepping for routine again. Even if she wasn’t, there’s still some prompting that urges me to buy new clothes, a book, or start a project. Or try new recipes and eat as healthy as I can. Just in time is Mairlyn Smith’s Healthy Starts Here! I first met Mairlyn years ago at the airport. She was waiting for a flight back to Toronto and it was the only time she had to talk to me. We finished the interview as she ran for her gate. That was when she launched her co-authored bestselling book Ultimate Foods for Ultimate Health. Mairlyn, a professional home economist, grew up in Vancouver, with a vegetable garden “the size of a badminton court” and a composter “the size of a Mini Cooper.” Mairlyn is an advocate of local, fresh, and seasonal, but says she’s never giving up certain foods—such as bananas, mangoes, and chocolate—just because they don’t grow in Canada. Created as a lifestyle guide, this cookbook is geared for busy families. Recipes, 140 of them, are full of nutrition with foods that could reduce the chances of developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer’s. Nuts, fish, poultry, fruits, dark green leafy and cruciferous veggies, beta-carotene-rich veggies, whole grains, mushrooms, alliums, yogurt, and a little bit of chocolate. The book is full of info and accompanied

photos, such as how to retrain your sodiumaddled taste buds (only 3 recipes contain salt), how to know “How Much is Enough,” a list of kitchen tools and why you need them, a list of ingredients and why you need them (such as cocoa nibs which are sweet but have a ton of ﬂavanols), and “Handy How-Tos” (such as how to clean leeks, roast peppers, and remove thyme leaves from stems). The chapters are categorized by food item, alphabetically. First up is “Apples: The Perfect Fruit.” (“Eat the peel,” she says several times.) That’s what I like about this book – humour (she is an alumna of the Second City comedy troupe). Mairlyn also says, “There’s an old saying that goes, if I had known I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself. You don’t want to be that person.” And you don’t want your kids to be that person either. So begin the school year with a new repertoire of dishes that will instill healthy habits.

by Tom Fletcher Black Press A work-to-rule campaign by public school teachers, set to begin on the first day of school, is only one dispute expected in education in the coming year. The B.C. Teachers Federation confirmed Wednesday it will file strike notice to take effect Tuesday morning. The BCTF says phase one will be to refuse administrative duties such as meeting with principals, supervising playgrounds and writing report cards. The union and the employers’ association are far apart on a range of issues, including salary and a list of benefit improvements sought by the BCTF. One major point in dispute is the meaning of a B.C. Supreme Court decision handed down this spring on the government’s 2002 removal of class size and composition from teacher bargaining. BCTF president Susan Lambert says the decision means the government must add $336 million to the public school budget to guarantee a level of service. “Teachers are determined in this round of bargaining to regain those lost services, jobs and resources to meet students’ needs,” Lambert said. Education Minister George Abbott has repeatedly said any settlement must fit with the gov-

ernment’s “net zero” mandate that other public service unions have already accepted. Abbott said in an interview Wednesday that the BCTF is demanding “restoration of the world as it existed in 2001, and once that’s done, then they’ll start talking.” Abbott said the court does not prescribe an outcome, but gives the two sides a year to work out a compromise. On another long-running dispute, Abbott said he hopes to have amendments ready for the fall legislature session to revamp the B.C. College of Teachers. He said the current system still allows teachers who have complaints against them to surrender their teaching certiﬁcate, avoid a disciplinary record, and then get reinstated to teach in a different district later on. A review of the college last year by Victoria lawyer Don Avison

found that even teachers with criminal convictions, including one case of sexual assault of students and another of cocaine trafﬁcking, were able to resume teaching. A bright spot for the new school year is the completion of B.C.’s full-day kindergarten project, which is now available provincewide. There are 37,000 kindergarten students expected to enrol in the program, after a $150 million investment in classrooms and an operating budget expanded to $345 million. Abbott said some parents were apprehensive about putting ﬁveyear-olds into a full-day school program, but the pilot program last year was well received. “It was remarkable how the kids embraced play-based learning that is a part of the kindergarten program,” he said.

As of 8 a.m. on Sept. 6, school zones are back in effect. Excited children will be walking, biking and jumping off of school buses all over the province, and drivers need to pay attention. Research shows that most child pedestrian related injuries occur in September and October, followed by May and June, and that children aged 5 to 14 years are at the greatest risk for pedestrian-related fatalities. The BCAA Road Safety Foundation recommends that you avoid driving through school zones if possible throughout the school year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That goes for parents too,â&#x20AC;? says David Dunne, director of road safety programs for the foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents that drive their children to and from school are actually the biggest danger to child pedestrians and cyclists around schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The congestion caused by so many vehicles creates a very dangerous environment.â&#x20AC;?

agendas) and kids (white out, cool erasers, pencil sharpeners) for educational needs. This year I got tough. I had my kids go through their entire collection of past year supplies to see what they really needed. Pencil crayons, yes, and a new black liner but that’s all I’d concede. School bags are to be replaced only every second year or as needed due to wear and tear. I refused to foot the $400 bill my best friend did on trendy binders, fancy pens, and backpacks. We’d make do with what we had. But then there’s back to school clothes. Everything would be so much simpler if children wouldn’t grow so much. I try and tell them the 3/4 sleeve is fashionable and that short yoga pants really are like trendy pedal pushers. No go. Running shoes rarely survive six months in our house because of either growth or mind

boggling wear and tear. One of my daughters actually had her toe sticking out of a pair of sneakers last year. Sadly, she’s not into the “distressed look.” Even if I penny pinch on the school supplies, I’ll be lucky to get away with a mere $400 in outﬁtting all three of my kids in sneakers, fall clothes, boots, and winter jackets. Even with the generous donation of hand-medowns from friends and trips to second hand stores, costs add up. I imagine the bills will only get paid off entirely in November, just in time for holiday shopping, hurrah. Whew, it’s meltdown time. Watch out. Andrea Phillpotts is a Richmond writer and teacher.

e had a meltdown in the mall,” my best friend admitted to me this week. With her three children and back to school shopping, I understood. I ﬁgured it was probably one of her two preteen daughters or her nine year old son throwing a hissy over some tooexpensive deck shoes.

Nope. “I should clarify,” she said weakly, “I had a meltdown in the mall.” ’Nuf said. Over the next two weeks, the most stressful shopping of the year takes place for parents. Worse than Christmas shopping, when at least parents have holiday parties and gifts to look forward to, back to school brings with it swollen credit card bills, keeping-up-withthe-Joneses-buying pressure, and stressed out families. How is it that in a country with free education, September can cause such ﬁnancial stress year after year? In theory and legally, education should be free. The 2006 landmark B.C. Supreme Court decision made it clear that schools should not charge for any supplies necessary for education. Still, every year, I get requests from both schools (tissues, pencil crayons, sitting balls, French dictionaries,

A Labour Day message from the B.C. Federation of Labour

Guest Shot Jim Sinclair

abour Day this year heralds the beginning of the B.C. Federation of Labour’s second century.

Arts & Entertainment EVERY THURSDAY IN

As we greet the dawn of our second century, the B.C. FED today represents more than 450,000 members across British Columbia. And as our province has grown, so too has organized labour.

Organized labour’s earliest days were not unlike the present: prosperous for many, yet turbulent. In 1911, the census counted British Columbia’s population at just under 393,000. The province was thriving, in part because of a roaring mining industry in the Kootenays, and a nascent forestry sector that sent countless carloads of lumber to the then-booming prairie provinces. Two transcontinental railways (the Grand Trunk Paciﬁc and the Canadian Northern) were under construction, with thousands of workers laying steel rails across the province. Two years later, B.C. was hit with a global economic downturn.

In its earliest days the labour movement was at the forefront of many battles, including the fight for a minimum wage, an eighthour day, workers’ compensation and women’s suffrage. Unemployment soared and the housing market crashed. In the following year, 1914, armed conflict erupted in Europe and Canadians soon were fighting in the First World War. British Columbia now is home to more than

4.5 million residents. Skyrocketing commodity prices have sparked impressive growth in the province’s mining, and oil and gas sectors, and our forest products are finding new markets in China and elsewhere. At the same time, the recent collapse in financial markets led to a painful, if thankfully brief, economic recession, and reminded British Columbians that we often are subject to forces beyond our control. Sadly, Canada in recent years has had soldiers serving overseas, many of whom sacrificed their lives in the name of our country. In its earliest days the labour movement was at the forefront of many battles, including the fight for a minimum wage, an eight-hour day, workers’ compensation and women’s suffrage. Victory came quickly on a few fronts — a Workers’ Compensation Board was set up in 1916, and a minimum wage for women became law two years later. (Men received similar protection in 1925.) In 1917, women won the right to vote in provincial elections, and in 1918 a Department of Labour was established to represents workers’ interests. Other battles took longer to win. BC first enacted a law for an eight-hour day in 1899, but it applied only to miners working underground. Many decades were to pass before all workers won similar protection. More recently, the B.C. Federation of Labour won the fight for an increase in the province’s minimum wage, stuck at eight dollars an hour (with a ‘training wage’ of just six dollars) since 2001. The B.C. Federation of Labour is proud of its record of success and is dedicated to protecting and helping workers and their families through the 21st Century. Together, we will continue to make British Columbia a safe and prosperous place to work and live. Jim Sinclair is president of the B.C. Federation of Labour.

labour day Labour Day in Canada Labour Day in Canada can be traced to a worker's strike that took place in April of 1872. The Toronto Typographical Union was at the center of the Toronto Trades Assembly’s first significant demonstration for worker's rights. Typographical Union workers, who were breaking the law at the time by simply being members of a trade union, went on strike to campaign for a nine-hour work day, only to witness two dozen of their union leaders be imprisoned. A parade was staged to show support for the union's workers as well as its imprisoned leaders. Another parade was scheduled for September, and Canadian Prime Minister Sir John McDonald eventually promised to repeal Canada's anti-union laws. Originally celebrated in the spring, Canadian Labour Day is now celebrated on the first Monday in September, the same day as Labor Day in the United

Poll says workers’ needs not being met A large group of working Canadians at both the beginning and end of their careers feel companies are missing the mark in terms of what they need and want, according to the third annual Labour Day poll by Monster.ca. The survey conducted by Harris/ Decima of over 1,000 Canadian baby boomers (aged 47-62) and members of generation Y (aged 18-30) shows they share a common complaint that companies are falling short:

•More than 1 in 3 twenty-somethings feel companies do not provide sufﬁcient mentoring, while almost 1 in 2 boomers agree; •More than 1 in 3 in both generations agree that companies do not use younger workers to their full potential; •More than 1 in 3 in both generations also believe companies lack vision, and fall short in productivity. •Nearly 1 in 3 boomers do not feel companies treat workers nearing retirement with respect.

Back to hockey school Glenn Wheeler prepares players for season ahead by Don Fennell Sports Editor Most of Glenn Wheeler’s waking hours are devoted to hockey. Teaching hockey to be precise. So it’s not surprising his voice sounds raspy, punctuated by the fact he talks a lot—and loud. But while he’s also a physically big man, well over six feet tall and 200 pounds, he is an engaging personality. “It’s how Glenn gets (the players’) attention,” says colleague Kirk Darbyshire.

“The ﬁrst time I was on the ice with Glenn (whom he assisted with Richmond’s Peewee A team last season) I couldn’t ﬁgure it out. But the kids absolutely revere him. It’s all in the way he presents the material. One of the things I’ve learned from him is you can’t get mad, or on a kid, unless you have his or her respect. If you can build that relationship and at the same time have fun, then when you have to get in their face they’ll pay attention. They want to make you happy.”

Wheeler has coached many young players, including beginners over the last decade. He says it’s essential they relate to you. “If you just yelled and didn’t have a rapport with them you’d never get anywhere,” he says. “When I’m loud it’s not in an intimidating or mean-spirited way. Patience is the biggest thing with kids and sometimes you have to reinforce things for them. Everyone has to feel some amount of success regardless of where they are in the

group.” Clearly, the kids are buying in as Wheeler’s services have never been more in demand. Besides coaching (he’s signed on to be the head coach of Richmond minor’s Bantam A1 team this season), he will also oversee the start-up operations this month of R.C. Palmer Secondary’s Hockey Academy. Wheeler is also chief instructor of a family-based business that is quickly carving a solid niche in the local market place. The Paciﬁc Elite Hockey

Players pushed tire to improve core strength.

School was the idea of Glenn’s mom Irene, the matriarch of the Wheeler family. Impressed by her son’s knack for communicating with young players, she suggested he start up a program along with with his dad Gary, himself a former hockey player who nearly made the Montreal Junior Canadiens in the early 1960s. Since starting up in 2004, with 80 students, the Paciﬁc Elite Hockey School has grown exponentially. See Page 21

A pre-season training school is offered for six days each week over a ﬁve-week period. Each session, twice a day, is an hour. There is also an hourlong dryland training session with Gold’s Gym trainer Eric Cronier where the focus is on improving stability, endurance and hand-eye co-ordination. As well, players participate in office shooting/puck control sessions at Flexx Training, which is also at Gold’s Gym. The hockey sessions focus on improving power skating and stick skills. This year’s sessions, held mostly at the Richmond Ice Centre, drew nearly 600 players from throughout B.C. and as far away as Latvia and China. Gary Wheeler regales a story, from a few years ago, he says exemplifies Glenn’s ability to communicate with young players. Glenn was coaching at Seafair when a woman brought her son, who was then eight or nine years old, to the rink and hearing Glenn’s loud voice was intially reluctant to put him on the ice. She later explained to Gary that her son’s previous coach was constantly screaming. After only two sessions with Glenn he told his mom “this is the best coach I’ve had in my whole life.” “After I watched a practice I realized while he yells there is no anger on his face and the kids see that,” she said. “He’s not getting mad, but talking loud to get their attention.” Gary is also pleased that Glenn shares his view on the importance of teaching individual skills. “When I was coaching 30 years ago we never spent the time to develop individual skills, it was more a team game and I think (over time) the skills began to wane,” says Gary, who played college hockey at Providence. “It’s still a team game, but even when I watch the NHL now I can really see the individuality of certain players. Look at the improvement over the last three or four years of a player like (Ryan) Kesler. He’s always been aggressive, but

watch his stick skills now.” “A lot of stuff now is technical, little things that were overlooked when I was a kid but that probably could have made me a better player,” adds Kirk Darbyshire. “Just little things like stick placement when you’re doing cross-overs and the way you handle the puck.” Goaltenders also get plenty of instruction at the Paciﬁc Elite Hockey School. They skate with the forwards and defencemen during two on-ice sessions and also get one-on-one tutorials each afternoon from Glenn’s brother, Paul. Paul Wheeler played goal at Ferris State University on a full scholarship and competed against many current and former NHLers before ﬁnishing his competitive career at McGill University. He believes that while style may differ from one goaltender to

another, the fundamentals are essentially the same. Growing up in Montreal, Glenn Wheeler attended John Abbott College and later St. Lawrence University and played junior hockey in Belleville, Ont. A nationally-certiﬁed coach with over 15 years experience, he has trained players from beginner to pro in both Canada and the U.S. Two years ago, with Al Wozney, he co-founded Paciﬁc Stars Hockey Academy to train young athletes in Asia and will be returning to China next January to work with a hockey delegation there. “(When I started coaching) I wanted to make impact on the culture of hockey in our community, which is what my dad did in Montreal,” Glenn says. “I’m blessed. I don’t think I would get the same reward if I was out only evaluating players.”

OBITUARIES WILKINSON, Leonard Robert March 3, 1929 - Aug. 29, 2011

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing away of our beloved father, granddad, brother, husband and friend. Len was born in Ealing England on March 3, 1929 to Albert and Minnie Wilkinson. Len was predeceased by his wife Shirley, survived by his current wife Piya, his children Tim (Joanne) Lyn, Amanda (Steve); grandchildren Mitchell, Shonna, Emily and Zack; sister Edna, brother Sid (deceased), brother Ron; Piya’s sons June and May. Len served for several years in the Royal Navy and was a talented craftsman who worked as a custom coach builder, shipwright, and steel fabricator. Len enjoyed a good adventure which included sailing amongst the Gulf Islands, playing golf with friends and playing his trumpet in the Vancouver Naval Veterans and Shriner’s bands. Thank you to the palliative care team of nurses and doctors at Richmond Hospital for the wonderful care that Dad received during his last days. A gathering of family and friends will be held at the Richmond Funeral Home (8420 Cambie Road, Richmond, BC) on Sunday September 4, 2011 between 11 am and 1 pm. Dad, grandad, brother, husband, friend, we love you and miss you. If desired, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society in lieu of flowers.

Clarke scores in friendly Richmond’s Summer Clarke scored the opening goal of the match Monday as Canada drew 1-1 against Japan in an under-17 women’s soccer friendly in Carson, Calif. Clarke scored in the 26th minute before Akari Shiraki drew level in the 61st minute. It was Canada’s second match with the under-17 group, following up a 2-1 loss to Japan three days earlier. Canada’s coach Bryan Rosenfeld said he was content with the team’s progress from one match to the next. “It was a strong start for us in that we were very well organized, we stuck to our game plan and we created some good opportunities,” said Rosenfeld. Clarke’s goal was a result of some sustained pressure in the Japanese defensive zone. Nichelle Prince had struck the post and the Japanese goalkeeper Miyu Someya was forced to make a save before Clarke collected a rebound and knocked it into the net.

Marquardt and mates row for world title by Don Fennell Sports Editor

Submitted photo A member of Richmcond’s Red Hot Selects under=16 provincial champions, Summer Clarke lifted Canada to a 1-1 tie with Japan on Monday.

Richmond’s Darcy Marquardt and her Canadian women’s heavyweight eight teammates are going for world gold today at 5:45 p.m. Paciﬁc time. And the crew is full of optimism after qualifying for the ﬁnal earlier in the week. “It was a cracker of a race,” said Marquardt. “Both the U.S. and ourselves advanced directly to

the A ﬁnal along with the top four out of the mid-week repechage. All the countries will be upping their game with more than medals on the line. This is one of ﬁve Olympic qualifying berths (to next summer’s Games in London, England).” The Canadians were fast and steady in their qualifying race. Marquardt said their starting sprint was clean and fast as they built up a three-quarter boat length lead at the 500-metre mark.

“We just kept building rhythm and didn’t have to pressure of another boat challenging,” she said. “The result is a confidence boost but we never underestimate the competition,” she said. “Even with our substantial lead, you never want to get too confident. The Dutch are notorious for their crazy final sprints, and Romania for their come-from-behind attacks, but we were on a mission from stroke one.”

Pool powers Leo Liu, Chris Girard and Alex Ball were three of the stars for the Richmond Kigoos in their ascent to third overall at the recent provincial summer swiming championships. Bob Frid photos 750
