Landmark now a fantasy Staff Reporter The iconic Fantasy Gardens theme park at No. 5 Road and Steveston Highway was a demolition site this week as construction workers made way for a new mixed-use development. The park, with its replica Dutch castle and windmill, has been a Richmond landmark since 1984 when former premier and Richmond MLA Bill Vander Zalm created it.

He expressed sadness at its demise. “I feel awful about it being demolished,” he told The Richmond Review yesterday. “It was an inspirational place for both children and adults, and particularly for seniors, from whom we still hear today,” he said. “People have pictures, they have memories, they always mention Fantasy Gardens regardless of where we go in the province, but particularly in the Lower Mainland, of course.” Years of neglect made redevelopment

“I feel awful about it being demolished.” - Bill Vander Zalm of the 8.5-hectare property a certainty. “I guess when the place went downhill from after we left it, it was destined to go that way, but it’s a great pity,” said Vander Zalm. See Page 3

Spinning, side-stepping and strutting the dance ﬂoor in high heels is second nature for 18-year-old Maryana Dudchenko. The Richmond Secondary School grad started ballroom dancing in Ukraine when she was just four years old. When she moved to Richmond 10 years ago with her parents, brother and sister, she continued to train in Latin-style ballroom dance. Last weekend Dudchenko and her dance partner Vla-

dyslav Bohdanov, also 18, took ﬁrst place in the youth division of the Open World Dance Championship, Embassy Ball, in Yucaipa, Calif. The pair came second in the under-21 division. Dudchenko and Bohdanov have been tearing up the dance ﬂoor together for for seven months. Bohdanov, who also hails from Ukraine, moved to Richmond to dance and Dudchenko says he is her best partner to date. “We share the same goals,” she said. “Everything seems to match up almost perfectly.” See Page 3

“I think it’s a great loss to Richmond and the province, perhaps not the state that it’s in now, but what it could have been,” he said. The brick castle, donated by the Dutch city of Coevorden to Richmond after Expo 86, served as a venue for a special reception as athletes, dignitaries and former Olympic champions from the Netherlands during the 2010 Olympic Games. Richmond interior designer Harma Hill spent two months renovating the castle for the event.

“It’s unthinkable to me that this can’t be here anymore. It would be absolutely devastating if this building was gone,” she told the Review in February. “This was a gift. You don’t go and destroy a gift that has value,” she said. The new development by Townline Homes, dubbed The Gardens, will be a residential, retail and commercial neighbourhood. With a 4.8-hectare park and agricultural gardens, the neighbourhood will have “an authentic garden theme,” according to the project website

gatewaytorichmond.ca. Six multi-storey buildings with 450 residential units will be built on the site in a phased development. The project was the subject of a series of community open houses in 2009. City spokesperson Cynthia Lockrey said rezoning went through last year for the mixed-use development, though a fourth and ﬁnal reading is still needed once legal agreements are ﬁnalized. “For all essential purposes, it’s got rezoning,”

Fishing forum comes to Steveston Cummins says commission ‘out of whack’ by Christine Lyon Staff Reporter The public is invited to discuss the future of Fraser River sockeye next Monday as part of a federal inquiry criticized by a local member of parliament. On Sept. 13 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at Steveston-London Secondary, community members can participate in the Cohen Commission of Inquiry into the Decline of Sockeye Salmon in the Fraser River, headed by Justice Bruce Cohen. John Cummins, Conservative MP for Delta-Richmond East, has been critical of the commission. “The thing is out of whack. Personally I don’t hold a hell of a lot

of hope for it,” he said. “To this point there’s very little that Justice Cohen has done that encourages me to believe that this inquiry is going to conduct an effective analysis of the DFO management regime. I just don’t see it.” Steveston is one of eight communities along the Fraser River invited to participate in a public forum. Forums have so far been held in Lillooet and Campbell River, and are scheduled for Victoria on Sept. 16; New Westminster on Sept. 20; Prince George on Sept. 23; Chilliwack on Sept. 29; and Kamloops on Oct. 21. The commission was established last fall with the purpose of mak-

Cummins says the inquiry lacks independence and is simply the Department of Fisheries and Oceans investigating itself. “I think that a lot of the taxpayers’ dollars have been put towards science studies that at this point are unnecessary,” he said.

she said. She added that Townline received its demolition permit and site prep is underway. “They just last week submitted their first development permit for the first two buildings on the site, so that’s still got a process to go through,” Lockrey said. A Townline spokesperson didn’t return calls yesterday. In 1990, Vander Zalm sold the property, leading to conflict of interest charges, which resulted in his resignation as premier a year later.

‘Latin is more crazy, more sensual I would say’ From Page 1

The dancing duo spent most of the summer in Europe training and competing, but returned home in time for Dudchenko’s first day of college on Monday. This week she is adjusting to student life at Kwantlen Polytechnic University where she is studying criminology and psychology. She plans to balance her busy academic schedule with her dance commitments. “Dancing’s going to be my main focus. I’m starting to teach and I’m still going to be competing and travelling, so that’s going to be my main career,” she said. Dudchenko will be teaching new steps to kids, adults and seniors at the

Grand Ballroom on Riverside Way in Richmond— the same studio where she trains every day. Growing up in Ukraine, Dudchenko experimented with rhythmic gymnastics, ballet and jazz dance. But she was always drawn back to ballroom. “I like the fact that it’s a sport where it involves the man and the woman. It’s different like that. It’s a team sport,” she said. Ballroom is extremely popular not only in Ukraine, but all over Europe, Dudchenko says. She explains there are two styles of ballroom dance—standard and Latin. While standard includes dances such as the waltz, tango and foxtrot, Latin includes the samba, cha cha cha, rumba and paso

doble. “Latin is more crazy, more sensual I would say,” Dudchenko said. The two styles are distinguished not just by the music and movements, but also the costumes. Flowing gowns and tuxedos are typical of standard, while short dresses and tight-fitting pants are indicative of Latin. “For the standard the dresses are very closed and very classic and for the Latin it’s very open and very Latin-style influenced,” Dudchenko said. She has about five or six colourful dresses she uses currently, in addition to a handful she’s selling to other dancers. And no ballroom dance outfit would be complete without a pair of strappy 3-1/2 inch heels.

Animal abandonment alarms shelter Cats and dogs being left in cardboard boxes at shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doorstep

Often they are left in cardboard boxes. Once it was a dufďŹ&#x201A;e bag. And even when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a properly secured animal cage, its inhabitant can be left for hours in the rain or cold. Staff at Richmond Animal Shelter have raised the alarm after a recent spate of careless, afterhours abandonment of pet animals at their doorstep. Carol Reichert, executive director of the society that operates the No. 5 Road shelter, said there were three such cases in one week before the Labour Day weekend. Two of them involved cats or dogs being left in cardboard boxes, which â&#x20AC;&#x153;never hold anything,â&#x20AC;? Reichert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really distressing,â&#x20AC;? she said, as the animals often escape only to become lost or killed by road trafďŹ c. Such abandonments usually occur after business hours, she added, presumably because the pet owner seeks to avoid embarrassment. Reichert urges owners to bring their unwanted pets to the shelter while it is open, using a proper animal carrier, to ensure the no-kill facility can care for the animal humanely. She added that owners can often avoid the unwanted-pet problem by getting their pets spayed or neutered. The shelter can assist in cases where owners cannot afford the procedure.

Sockeye fishing cut off to protect coho Sports angling continues as strongest run in a century builds toward peak by Jeff Nagel Black Press Most commercial fishing of this year’s record run of Fraser River sockeye salmon has been halted to conserve much smaller runs of coho salmon and steelhead that could be dangerously weakened by further intensive harvesting. In a typical year, most sockeye migrate before the coho, but late-run sockeye—which account for three-quarters of the massive 2010 run—come back at the same time, mingled with their scarce relatives. Heavy fishing for sockeye from this point on could kill unacceptable numbers of coho, which number just 30,000, according to federal fisheries officials. All fishing in the Fraser below the Mission Bridge ended by 7 a.m. Tuesday and more of the river upstream is to be closed over the next couple of days. Fishery managers estimate this year’s catch by all sectors will total around 11 million sockeye out of an estimated run of 34.5 million—the strongest in nearly 100 years. Up to 15 million laterun sockeye have been delaying in the Strait of Georgia and are destined for the Shuswap Lake/ Adams River areas. “They’re starting to move into the river,

“They’re starting to move into the river, coming in at a rate of 400,000 to 500,000 a day.” - Barry Rosenberger coming in at a rate of 400,000 to 500,000 a day,” said Barry Rosenberger, Interior B.C. area director for Fisheries and Oceans Canada. “We expect that to build over the next several days.” That’s great news for sports anglers, who

are allowed to continue recreational ﬁshing for sockeye until Sept. 19. Sockeye concentrations in the lower river will likely peak around Sept. 12, Rosenberger said. Commercial fishing advocates argue their season is being cut off too early, with millions more sockeye still to come through. Conservative MP John Cummins (Delta-Richmond East) criticized what he called the extreme move to shut down ﬁshing to protect “the last of these weak stocks.” See richmondreview. com for more on this story.

Off-duty cop nets mall thief A morning of regular back-to-school shopping with her seven-year-old daughter burst into crimebusting action for an offduty Mountie at a local mall Monday. RCMP Cpl. Annie Linteau subdued a man who had smashed open a display case at a Richmond Centre jewelry store and attempted to sprint off with the contents. Two civilian bystanders grabbed the thief first. Then Linteau, despite being without handcuffs or weapon, pinned the “fairly resistant” man while onduty police were called to the scene, she said. “We’re police officers 24 hours a day and when these things happen, you just kind of get into work mode,” Linteau said. “It was deﬁnitely an interesting day.” All the jewelry was recovered in the course of the arrest as well, she added. —David Marsh

Don’t Leave This School Year to Chance! A new school year is about to begin—how will your child prepare? The countdown to school is on! For most, getting ready to start the school year means buying new clothes and school supplies. While these things are important to help kids head back to school in style, they do nothing to help children get better grades or have a successful school year. This year, children of all ages should go back to school with the ultimate accessory for the classroom: a brain that is ready to learn! Rather than wait and see how their children will do this school year, parents should prepare them for success from the ﬁrst day of school (or even before) by implementing good habits that will last the entire year. These Five Tips For School Success from Oxford Learning can help students of all grades be better prepared to learn— and have a more successful school year! 1. Break bad habits. Don’t fall back into old routines and bad habits. Start this year with a fresh and new positive routine. The earlier you get your child on track, the easier it is for him or her to stay on track. 2. Get informed. Develop regular communication with the teacher so that both you and your child

know what to expect at this grade level. Be informed of important school dates (big projects, standardized testing) well in advance to avoid lastminute scrambles. 3. Use a family calendar. Manage school, family, and extra curricular activities with a daily reminder, courtesy of a large wall calendar. 4. Get help. Avoid struggling this year from the get-go by making the decision to get professional support for children. 5. Don’t wait and see. Parents often wait until the first report card to see how their child is progressing, but if a child had difficulties last year, get help from day one to improve his or her chances for success.

opinion A village of opinion

proposal to build high-rises in Steveston has touched off a fierce debate. So far, on the letters pages, it’s been largely one-sided. Most letter-writers don’t want to see the quaint fishing village of Steveston turned into City Centre South.

No doubt, the developer would prefer these residents just take an extended holiday until the latest round of public process concludes. But they’re doing what they have a right to—exercising democracy. The final waterfront parcel of the Imperial Landing site proves more than anything that people care about Steveston—deeply. It’s a kind of passion that residents in other areas of the city can only dream about. In City Centre, where rezoning signs pop up in old single family neighbourhoods and commercial districts like they’re going out of style, entire streets are transformed one townhouse at a time, generating nary a peep from neighbours who see change as inevitable. Not in Steveston, where every major development gets a thorough examination by its residents who feel the village’s incredible heritage qualities should be preserved for generations. Steveston is Richmond’s first town centre. During the heyday of fishing, it was a hub of activity now only read about in books—save for this summer’s buzz around the abundant sockeye fishery on the Fraser. For Steveston residents on both sides of the latest Onni rezoning plan for the last piece of Imperial Landing, now is the time to have your say. The public process of a rezoning allows for ample time for citizen input. There’s an open house today (Sept. 9 from 3 to 6:30 p.m.) and a council committee meeting, once city staff finalize a report. If council decides to push forward, there will be a debate at a future council meeting, then a public hearing. In the meantime, residents can also contact council members, continue to write letters to this newspaper and even organize protests or rallies. Steveston is a true representation of a community with heart—one ready to exercise its democratic rights.

Secret negotiations on the HST?

B.C. Views Tom Fletcher

few hours after legislative press gallery reporters unveiled the documents obtained in a long-awaited freedom of information request about B.C.’s preparations for the harmonized sales tax, the Bill Vander Zalm conspiracy clown car clattered by with another urgent message. Zalm wheelman Chris Delaney leaped to his computer to proclaim: “FOI reveals B.C. government in negotiations on HST months before 2009 election.” This would indeed be big news, if only it were true. It would mean not only that the B.C. Liberals deliberately lied about their tax plans before the election, but that senior provincial officials, and at some level the Conservative government in Ottawa, were in on the deception. I asked Delaney to show

me where “negotiations” are “revealed.” Since he apparently hadn’t read the actual documents, he replied with references to various media accounts, including speculation that the proof might be hiding in pages blanked out by officials to protect “advice” to Finance Minister Colin Hansen. Despite the blanked-out pages, Hansen was clearly worried about the release of his ministry’s internal communications in early 2009. He made a special trip from Vancouver to sit for a series of interviews to respond to them, and to make some embarrassing admissions. Yes, Hansen would have got the 11-page briefing note on the Ontario HST deal from his ministry’s senior staff nearly two months before the election. He doesn’t remember it. He would have given it only a “cursory look,” Hansen told me, because it was to prepare him for possible media questions about Ontario’s decision to jump aboard the HST train. Since he and Campbell have insisted for more than a year that the HST was not on B.C.’s “radar” before the election, he didn’t need to read it all. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston grilled Hansen for hours during this spring’s legislative session on

the HST decision. At one point Hansen denied that there was any discussion between senior finance officials about the HST before the May 2009 election. I now hold the proof that there was, but it’s important to understand what kind of communication. A federal official sent out copies of the newly signed Ontario HST agreement to all provinces, including Alberta, which has no provincial sales tax to merge with. B.C. officials watched developments in Ontario and updated the minister’s briefing papers, because that’s what they do every day, on a wide variety of issues. Hansen either didn’t see these communications or didn’t remember them. NDP leader Carole James termed this the “dog ate my homework” defence. The documents confirm that Ontario was negotiating, and getting special exemptions and a transition payment of more than $4 billion. They do not show negotiations with B.C. during the critical time. This is important because it determines whether B.C. finance ministry officials did their jobs in a professional fashion. I’ll remind you that Delaney and Vander Zalm were quick to claim that Elections B.C. officials were

Scratchley). Please include contact information. corrupt, after they delayed the anti-HST petition to see the results of a court challenge. If that were true, it would have been the biggest political scandal in B.C. history, since that office presides over party registrations and campaign finance rules. The Zalmoids dropped that one quickly, and now they’re on to the next baseless claim of Third Worldstyle corruption. Judge our politicians as you will, but let’s not drag our whole democratic system down with false allegations. There is more news in these documents, such as the negative short-term impact of the HST that the B.C. Liberals ignored. More on that later.

letters RCMP a ‘mediocre’ force Editor: I wonder what happened to the local initiative of a year ago to consider replacing the local RCMP contract force with a municipal police department more responsive to Richmond’s needs? The shabby attempts by Mounties to play down Robert Dziekanski’s unnecessary and criminal death have been compounded by their ridiculously excessive bill of $100,000 for Richmond’s “share” of the cost of the federal police force arbitrarily retooling its computer systems. The RCMP is just adding insult to injury and we’re fools to stand for it. Burnaby and other municipalities are giving serious consideration to establishing a community force as both Vancouver and New Westminster already do. A more radical solution would be to establish a single force for the entire Greater Vancouver Area. This would result in much better and cheaper enforcement throughout the communities of the Lower Mainland and it would send a strong message to the federal police mandarins in Ottawa that their current recruitment, training and billing procedures are unacceptable in a worldclass Olympic city. Let them go back to policing rural communities and federal roads. We can do better hiring by ष೴ᇷᄭ ष೴ᇷᄭ locally to police our growing city. I think the worst thing we might do is ୮ࡺᥨ෻ ୮ࡺᥨ෻ lock ourselves and our children into a 20-year contract for a mediocre police force which ᠔᛭ႊव clearly feels᠔᛭ႊव little responsibility to the community it serves. Giles Slade Richmond

Density preserves open space Editor: Yes, mid-rise towers on Steveston’s waterfront will change the local skyline. Density of this magnitude will change the community. The question we need to ask is: will this change be for the better? Steveston has changed dramatically since my family arrived here 100 years ago. Change has re-shaped a small historic industry-dependent village clinging to life at the edge of a suburb as the commercial fishing industry re-tooled over the last two decades. Recent change has brought with it new visitor-related commercial development and the kind of residential growth that has re-invigorated our mixed-use heritage town site and preserved it forever. When I was a member of the citizens’ planning committee that shaped the Steveston Waterfront Sub-area Plan 13 years ago, we struggled for many months debating the appropriate land use designation for the narrow stretch of land along the waterfront where B.C. Packers’ Imperial Plant once stood. It was as clear then as it is today— regardless of this year’s magnificent sockeye run—that industrial fish processing activities weren’t going to continue on the Steveston

waterfront. A few of us warned that the maritime commercial land use designation wasn’t appropriate as such uses would never be viable and therefore never developed. Today, with the residents of Imperial Landing development comfortable in their new homes, many have come to realize that the narrow waterfront strip might make a nice park. Personally, I would rather see a more animated waterfront with commercial and residential uses close to the waterfront promenade. This would make for a more enriching public environment—one that we must admit is an urban environment today, like it was an industrial one for nearly a century. Nonetheless, the only way to preserve open space is to concentrate density. Density is also the currency that allows a developer to make private land available for public uses—like a park. Finally, to the people who live in the condominium apartments, townhouses and small homes on the site that many once tried to preserve: please remember that we welcomed you here just as you have an obligation to welcome future newcomers. Bob Ransford Steveston

Editor: The public has spoken, and Steveston residents don’t want to see two towers polluting their skyline. Keep Steveston a village. Are you kidding me? Most people in Steveston weren’t living there when most people in Steveston didn’t want condominiums and townhouses built that most people in Steveston are living in. “Keep Steveston a village!” they cried. But history, like a bad meal, repeats itself. Change (be it good or bad) happens. Personally, I don’t want the high-rises either. And I hope more people write, get involved, and have an opinion on this and other developments in the community. But it’s like trying to stop the tide from coming in. Bob Niles Richmond Editor: “Many voices to consider in Steveston debate,” Editorial, Sept. 2. Hard to believe how naive your editor is in thinking that just a “select few” would be against developing the Steveston waterfront with high-rise condos. I’m guessing that it will be almost unanimous that the residents will ﬁght this all the way. Any council member that votes in favour of such development should start handing out resumes. They’ll soon be out of a job. David Lindsay Richmond For more letters on Onni’s Steveston redevelopment proposal, see richmondreview.com.

Tougher impoundment rules take effect this month by Jeff Nagel Black Press Leadfoot drivers who speed more than 40 km/h over the limit may have their vehicles impounded for a week under new enforcement rules that kick in Sept. 20. Solicitor General Mike de Jong said the province is aiming to save lives by taking some of the most dangerous speeders off the road. “Excessive speed is of-

ten a death sentence for everyone involved—the driver, their passengers and other innocent roadusers,” he said. Police write 10,000 tickets a year for excessive speeding, which carry fines of $368 to $483, three ICBC penalty points and an ICBC driver-risk premium of $320 per year for three years over and above regular insurance rates. But as of Sept. 20, a charge of excessive speeding will also trigger a man-

datory seven-day impoundment for a ﬁrst offence, a 30-day impoundment for a second offence and 60 days for subsequent excessive speeding offences within two years. “Speed is the numberone contributing factor to fatalities in car accidents in the province,” said Cpl. Jamie Chung of Langley RCMP E Division Traffic Services. “The faster you go, the less likely you’ll walk away from a crash. Anything we

can do to reduce speed in turn reduces the number of needless tragedies on our roads and highways.” The new rules may also lead to longer impoundment of street racers’ cars, ofﬁcials said, noting the previous minimum impoundment for street racing was 48 hours. With children returning to school, drivers are also being cautioned to practice safe driving habits and watch out for school zones.

Ah, one of my favourite authors is back at it again, producing yet another suspenseful, cleverly plotted mys-

tery novel. Hangman is a multi-level mystery, comprised of two separate crimes. The first involves the beautiful Terry McLaughlin, who has a history with Peter Decker, a police lieutenant with the LAPD. She comes to him asking a favour, which naturally ends up involving her crazy, professional hit man husband Chris Donatti, and their son Gabe. Seeing the remnants of bruising on her face, Decker soon finds out that Donatti has beaten Terry badly. And the plot thickens. When Terry inexplicably goes missing and Donatti vanishes into thin air as well, Decker and his wife Rina reluctantly, but kindly agree to take 14-year-old Gabe into their home.

‘Hangman’ will hold your attention He’s a great kid with a wicked talent for piano playing, but life isn’t exactly roses while the kid awaits word of his parents’ whereabouts. Peter and Rina’s daughter Hannah is still living at home, and tries to keep things as normal as possible for Gabe. But when Donatti contacts Gabe, the tension only increases. As if that part of the story isn’t riveting enough, Kellerman introduces the gruesome murder of Adrianna Blanc, who is found hanging from a rafter at a construction site. A whole list of suspects litter the book, but one in particular has Decker chasing down leads from all over the States. When it begins to look like a serial killer is involved, the action really escalates, until almost the very end, when Kellerman all too neatly and conveniently ties up all the loose ends. Under the guise of having Lieutenant Decker write down a summary of events, Kellerman brings all the stray elements of

the mystery together and explains everything away in a few pages. It’s a surprisingly lame technique for such a talented author, and it seemed like a cop-out to me. That being said, I still thoroughly enjoyed the book’s suspense and the clever plotting that brought the two simultaneous investigations together. As a devotee of Kellerman’s work, it’s also fun

to watch her characters growing up. Rina and Peter’s sons Sammy and Jacob are graduating university and one of them is getting married; his daughter Cindy from a previous marriage is pregnant; and Hannah, the youngest, is off to study in Israel. Despite the contrived bit at the end, this is a highly entertaining read that will hold your attention from start to ﬁnish. Recom-

mended for Kellerman fans and the rest of the world, too. For other popular reading suggestions check out Richmond Public Library’s Web site at www.yourlibrary.ca/ goodbooks/.

drive slowly along MacKenzie Road, south of Steveston Highway. I come to the end of the road, turn right into the parking lot and face a large green barn. I take a moment and note the yellow Volkswagen Beetle in the adjacent field. Note the farm equipment, lined up like tired soldiers, the abandoned basketball stand. Glance northward to the house, and note the clothes fluttering on the line. Three daschunds ignore me as I make my way inside the farm

market. Susan Buerger’s granddaughter, Hailee Field (really, that’s her name. And, she tells me, Hailee means “hay field”) stands behind the counter, adding up totals and wrapping the blueberries, packing the extra-sweet long beets, parsnips, broad beans, yellow beans, green beans, roman beans, Russian garlic, super-sweet corn, dill, basil, savoy cabbage, baby beets and German potatoes. (If you haven’t tried these, please do. They can’t be overcooked, they stay firm and tasty whether mashed or baked or cubed in potato salad.) Susan talks with a customer about dill cukes. They are a draw, and it seems everyone is pickling this year, but as Susan explains, they are not growing well this year. They are about the size of gherkins. It’s not unusual to get orders for 100 pounds of dill cukes, but it is unusual

to not be able to fill the orders. In a good season, she harvests about 1,500 pounds of them. Last year was a good year and the cukes were ready in July, but it was also a year when nobody pickled. This year, she delayed planting and got caught by bad weather. Now the sun doesn’t have the strength to finish the job. There is fear in the local food industry that Susan’s farm will follow the fate of Tai-On Farm and close. Susan’s husband died several years ago and while it’s all good and well to try to save the land, she can’t do the work by herself. She needs help. She needs labourers. She needs pickers. The ones she meets at 6 a.m. and takes to the fields. The next generations? “These days, kids are destined for college. They have so many opportunities,” she says. Hailee helps out once

in awhile. She says likes being with her Oma and says, “She has to teach me some stuff.” Like making pickles. “I have to make them this year,” says Susanna, “I only have a couple of jars left.” For years, regulars have visited the farm and the “eat local” campaigns have made a difference. “What do you grow?” is a commonly asked question by newcomers. People are under the impression that what’s on the shelves is grown at the farm, but the soil, Susanna explains, doesn’t allow them to grow everything. “We grow what we can on 55 acres, but we need a variety of produce to sell.” So she brings in peaches, cherries, and Sunrise apples from the Okanagan and other produce from different regions. “How long will I do this?” she asks. Her hand goes to her heart. “It’s in here. I still feel my husband’s presence. He loved to grow food for people.” •J.S. Nature Farm: 11500 MacKenzie Rd.

sports Girls’ hockey growing exponentially

SPORTS EDITOR: Don Fennell Phone: 604 247 3732 E-mail: sports@richmondreview.com

Focus now is on skill development by Don Fennell Sports Editor During his more than two decades coaching minor hockey, Tony Lindsay has always promoted skill development. Now besides coaching an Atom rep team, he’s the director of hockey development for the Richmond Girls’ Ice Hockey Association, a role he took on when his daughter began playing two years ago.

DEVELOPMENT MODEL •The RGIH has adopted an association-wide skill development program, providing all of its players, both in the competitive and recreational streams, with lessons from professional hockey instructors. The costs are included in the registration fees. •Rob Fuchs, co-owner of Proformance Goalie Schools, provides weekly instruction to the goaltenders. •Milan Dragicevic, the ﬁrst coach of the WHL Vancouver Giants, and Derek Popke of the Vancouver Hockey School, provide players at all levels with a wide range of hockey instruction. •Michelle Peppin and Cheryl Dragicevic provide all players with power skating lessons weekly.

Previously, Lindsay had devoted his time to coaching boys’ hockey. It was a rewarding period as his teams were routinely successful and he helped more than a few players reach the Junior A level. But coaching girls’ hockey has been a bonus he didn’t expect. “It’s been an absolute blast,” he said. What stands out is how eager to learn the girls are. “Girls’ hockey is still in its infancy in a lot of ways, especially in B.C. where

Don Fennell photo The Richmond Girls’ Ice Hockey Association continues to grow in leaps and bounds. Hosts of the 2010 provincial Midget A championship, the association is focusing on skill development, providing each of its players—in the recreation and competitive stream—the opportunity to work with professional hockey instructors.

we’re still lagging behind Alberta and Ontario,” he said. “But it’s really under-served I would say, because most of us with experience never considered coaching it and most only got involved because our daughters started playing.” Lindsay said in the brief period he’s been coaching girls’ hockey the level of play has increased exponentially. He attributes that to both the responsiveness of the girls and a focus on skill development. “We’re (also) starting to draw some people with good coaching backgrounds and experience,” he said. “It’s really helped to change the mindset.” Lindsay and his coaching colleagues have brought a philosophy, shared by the RGIH executive board, that the girls should have the same developmental experience as if they

were playing in a boys’ hockey association. “There has been historically a view that girls who are serious about hockey have to play with the boys and that the girls’ hockey associations are more recreational in nature,” he said. “Clearly, there are two streams, a competitive stream and a recreation stream (in the RGIH) which is no different than boys. But what we’ve really focused on is enhancing the overall developmental experience for all the girls, regardless of the stream they’re in. Our belief is all the players, the better they can skate and handle the puck, the more they’ll enjoy playing. If it was all about building provincial champions we would put all our resources into rep, but we don’t believe that’s what it should be about.”

The professional hockey instructors the RGIH has hired to work with the girls are unanimous in their appreciation for the girls’ attentiveness. “They say it’s a lot of fun working with the girls, which is why we’ve been able to attract and retain this quality of instructors,” Lindsay said. “It also means we see a steep learning curve. A lot of younger boys begin playing at ﬁve or six and play for 10 months of the year. Most of the girls though don’t play that much, so when they get a chance to get some extra instruction we see some dramatic changes in two or three months. The girls are responsive and appreciative and tend to work really hard.” Three factors have combined to allow the RGIH to implement this widespread program—an increase in players (more than 200, including

41 from 23 last season at the Atom Division level); introducing pro instructors who are able to facilitate an acceleration of the skills; and attracting more experienced coaches. “As this is happening, more girls are also coming back from boys’ hockey,” Lindsay said. “One thing we can offer that boys’ hockey can’t is the social experience. The social connections are so important to most of the girls; the opportunity to play with friends or with other girls.” Lindsay has no doubt the girls are having fun. “If they’re not having fun at sport they’ll drop in right a way—no ifs, ands or buts,” he said. “I always say to parents the season will be a success if at end your daughter says, ‘I can hardy wait to start playing again.’”

RGIH adopts raven as a symbol of team unity The raven is said to be a quick learner, tenacious and resourceful— precisely the qualities the Richmond Girls’ Ice Hockey Association (RGIH) wants to embrace. Which is why the local minor sports group has chosen to introduce the bird, revered in many societies, as its symbol. Each of its rep teams will also now carry the raven

moniker. The red and black logo (inset) features a ﬁercelooking raven with a swooping hockey stick atop the words Richmond Ravens. “We felt it was important to brand ourselves so that all the teams are seen as belonging to one association,” said RGIH president Patti Perkins. “I think it enhances the

co-operation among the teams and coaches.” Girls’ hockey has never been more popular. And the increasing numbers reﬂect that. A record 200 players have registered with the RGIH for the 2010-11 season. But the number could climb even higher if, as expected, a Juvenile Division team (18 to 20 year olds) is iced. The increase to three

Novice Division teams from two last season indi-

cates there is signiﬁcant growth at the younger

age groups. That pleases Perkins. “It’s important to grow from the bottom because it pushes our quality up,” she said. “The more players we have, the more we can offer them.” Every player in the RGIH will receive additional instruction from professional coaches. The cost is included in registration.

“It’s extremely important that we offer this because parents are demanding more,” Perkins said. “They want to see their daughters getting something meaningful from our program. It’s important we continue to foster new ideas that will help the kids continue to grow.” –by Don Fennell

REVIEW

Senior soccer season kicks off RSSL play begins Friday by Don Fennell Sports Editor Since its start in 1960, the Richmond Senior Soccer League has been a source of many memorable battles in the local men’s soccer scene. Now into its ﬁfth decade, the RSSL has expanded again offering more local players the opportunity to participate in the “beautiful game.” Following is a look at how some of the teams shape up as the 2010-11 season kicks off tomorrow (Friday).

Premier Division: •All-Blacks The All-Blacks have always been one of the teams to beat and there’s nothing to suggest this season will be any different. “Our goal is to ﬁnish at or near the top of the league table, with hopefully one or two pieces of hardware along the way,” conﬁrms coach/manager Kyle Shury.

sports

Predictably, optimism high among teams From Page 22

Dave MacPherson, who was the team’s most versatile player last season seeing duty in nine of the 11 positions on the field, has the speed and work ethic to keep contributing. But Shury is predicting a significant jump in goal production in 2010-11. Brett Sanderson is coming off knee surgery, but is expected to help form a solid midfield. Daniel Tait provides both quickness and speed as he aims to build on last year’s team high in goals. •Lulu Island FC Coach Jon Bula and manager Karl Sandberg have assembled a team with plenty of talent. The question now is: will it all come together? Spencer Coppin is as good a playmaker as there is in the RSSL. His creativity and skill going forward can help to create magic, but he’s equally solid and responsible defensively. Justin Student is a lightning quick midfield workhorse—strong on the ball and capable of beating players one on one. His fearless pursuit of the ball helps to set up many scoring chances. Darren Prentice is an explosive first-step attacking forward who is a natural goal scorer.

Second Division: •AC Richmond Last season was a disappointing one for the Wanderers, hence the name change. Hopes are high with striker Randeep Dhesi back from injury and expected to contribute to an improved offence. Midfielders Jithan Virk and Sanj Bodwal are capable of opening up any defence with pinpoint passing. Defensively, newly-signed Sanjeet Dhari is also expected to make a significant contribution. Coaching will be a family affair. Maninder Mann, a striker recovering from knee surgery, and cousin Bobby Mann will be at the helm trying to keep everyone happy. •Jugadores CF II The goal for the Jugadores this season is to gain promotion to Division One next season. Three players are being counted to help lead the way. Strikers David Hoffmann is the team’s leading scorer and six-yard specialist, Midfielder Matt Annis a newcomer

THE RSSL •In its ﬁfth decade, the Richmond Senior (men’s) Soccer League kicks off its 2010-11 season tomorrow (Friday) with Premier Division play. First and Second Division teams begin play Sunday. •The 2009-10 champions were: League Cup: Dragons President’s Cup: Islanders Challenge Cup: Club Inter Premier Division (Alan Gaster Memorial Award): Dragons First Division: Club Ireland Celtic Second Division: Subway FC The League Cup

with plenty of talent, and defender Jamie Toghill is the team captain and plays like it—always challenging for every ball. •United FC Afﬁliated with the McNair Shooters, United FC sports a strong a potentially dominant young team supported by a few returning veterans. Sonny Janda is sure to be a force again this season as he aims for the goalscoring title, while Indy Bhullar will help solidify a strong back line. •Mark’s Clippers With many former Premier Division players, the Clippers are more than capable of topping the table. Leading the way are Christian Lanz, who controls the back line and is good in the air; Will Townsley, who is smart with the ball and sports an accurate shot; and Derek Gardner, a solid midﬁelder.

Over the past 3 years, our Midget A1 team has produced 16 players who have gone on to play Junior B Hockey. Led by coach Derek Chichak and his coaching staff, our players have learned what it takes to play at the “next level”. If this is your goal, then you need to join our program, while space is still available. Due to a large graduating class (many who are now playing for the Richmond Sockeyes and Delta Ice Hawks), there are still roster spots open for skaters and goalies. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity. Good coaching, good tournaments, good development, good rates and good times, for those who want to become good hockey players.

Looking for players to ﬁll out our C Teams – Reasonable Rates combined with some of the best skills development in the province There are still some spots remaining on our C teams. All C teams will have access to Derek Popke, one of the top instructors in the province, who will help run practices and teach players (all at no extra cost). Sign up with a friend. Our midget division is full, but there is still room for some players in the Peewee and Bantam divisions.

Elementary Hockey Program Vancouver Giant’s head coach has stated on several occasions, “Milan Lucic would not be in the NHL if it weren’t for the development and training he received from “Yogi”. The “Yogi” he is referring to, is our own Director of Hockey Operations, Yogi Svejkovsky. Yogi has teamed up with NHL skating Instructor, Derek Popke, to provide a weekly skills program that will have both of them on the ice working with our players. There is no program in the province that offers this level of training and instruction to minor hockey players. Register soon, as the spots are quickly disappearing!

To register in any of these programs, contact Tina O’Connor at 604-271-3702 or email at registrar@seafairhockey.com

Yarrr! Fun and spunky little Pirate doesn’t seem to be bothered by only having one eye. She gets around great, jumps on things and scoots around like a young cat should. She is playful, friendly, and likes to have all of your attention to herself. Come and meet her today! She is, after all, only 6 months old!

Olympian to help coach Track Rascals

Richmond Review sportsperson of the year Alexa Loo (left) with Coun. Sue Halsey-Brandt.

The Richmond Kajaks Track and Field Club is offering its successful Track Rascals program this fall. The program is led by National CertiďŹ ed Coaching Program-trained coaches, some of whom are world-class athletes. Olympic snowboarder Alexa Loo will be among those on hand to coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve trained with the Kajaks to cross train with my snowboarding and I really enjoyed it. I felt it really helped and I wanted to pass along those skills,â&#x20AC;? says Loo. Track Rascals is a program aimed at children

six- to eight-years-old. The training is based on Athletics Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Run, Jump, Throw program which was developed to focus on the fundamentals of all land-based sports with an emphasis on fun and safety. This includes learning running skills, sprints, high jump, javelin and more. Loo adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Track Rascals teaches skills for track and ďŹ eld that are readily transferable to other sports. Even if their passion is not track and ďŹ eld these skills can be applied elsewhere.â&#x20AC;? The program starts

Sept. 13 for 10 sessions, Mondays and Wednesdays, 6:45 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Clement Track at Minoru Park. For further information or to register visit kajaks. org.

Richmond lawn bowler Pang rolling for national prize Representing B.C. at pairs championship One of the biggest events on the Canadian lawn bowling calendar is underway in White Rock, and a local player is participating.
