City heads to China Four politicians to focus on relationship-building on taxpayer-funded trip by Christine Lyon Staff Reporter

Rob Newell photo Michael Chira was the Apple store’s ﬁrst customer Saturday at Richmond Centre. Chira camped out at 6 p.m. Friday to be the ﬁrst person to buy an iPhone 4.

Apple store opening draws huge crowd by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Hundreds lined up Saturday at Richmond Centre mall to be among the ﬁrst inside B.C.’s newest Apple store. The lineup of those hungry for iPads and iPhones stretched outside along the sidewalk of the mall. First in line were Michael Chira and dad Vasile Chira after spending the night outside Richmond Centre to secure their spot.

The Chiras had an eye on the store’s fresh stock of iPhone 4 smart phones. In keeping with the store’s custom the ﬁrst 1,000 customers through the doors received a limited-edition Apple T-shirt. It’s B.C.’s third Apple store, and ﬁrst outside Vancouver. “We’re really happy to have them here at Richmond Centre,” said mall spokesperson Leslie Matheson. The new location, one of 17 in Canada and more than 300 worldwide, features the stan-

dard Apple repertoire of electronics products like computers, iPods and iPhones. It also boasts a Genius Bar, at which Mac users can set an appointment to get expert advice on their computing issues. The store opened in a renovated space in Richmond Centre, which is in the process of negotiating with other large retailers. Meanwhile, Sephora will open at the end of October and Forever 21 is expected to open after Christmas.

Four civic politicians have signed up for a taxpayer-funded trip to Asia aimed at boosting relationships overseas. The mayor and three city councillors will be attending several meetings in Asia in conjunction with a separate delegation led by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce. Mayor Malcolm Brodie and Coun. Bill McNulty, Coun. Linda Barnes and Coun. Sue Halsey-Brandt will make their first stop in Richmond’s sister city, Wakayama, Japan. Then they head to Richmond’s friendship cities in China, Xiamen and Qingdao. “It really is fostering the relationships we’ve developed with our friendship and sister cities,” city spokesperson Cynthia Lockrey said of the trip. The trip is scheduled to end in Shanghai where the mayor and councillors will hold Richmond Day in the Canada Pavilion at the Shanghai Expo and network with businesses and individuals from China. One goal is to promote Canada’s Approved Destination Status, which gives Chinese tourists more access to the country. See Page 5

Massage parlour robbed at gunpoint by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

David Code, author of ‘To Raise Happy Kids, Put Your Marriage First,’ will speak on the topic in Richmond next week.

Author helps crack family code Free Monday workshop will address parenting, marriage myths by Christine Lyon Staff Reporter Making your marriage priority No. 1 and the kids a close second promotes a happy home life, says family coach David Code. That advice forms the basis of Code’s latest book To Raise Happy Kids, Put Your Marriage First and will be the subject of a seminar Monday night in Richmond. Code has teamed up with the Touchstone Family Association to hold a free workshop for parents Sept. 20 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Ralph Fisher Auditorium at Richmond Hospital. Originally from rural Saskatchewan, Code attended Yale University, Princeton Seminary, and did post-graduate studies

“These days it seems like parents are marrying their children instead of their spouses.” - David Code at Georgetown Family Centre. At Monday’s workshop he will attempt to debunk what he says are the top three myths of parenting and marriage. The ﬁrst is the more attention parents give kids, the better they turn out. “These days it seems like parents are marrying their children instead of their spouses,” said Code. “It’s seen as the child-friendly approach, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.”

Code said children are influenced by household stress. “Kids soak up all that anxiety and tension until their fragile little systems hit overload and then they act out or they develop symptoms.” On Monday Code will offer tips on how couples can “feed and water” their relationship. “I’m not asking parents to face some kind of a dramatic ‘either or’ decision where they have to choose; it’s merely a question of priority,” he said. “It also provides a great example for kids to model when they grow up and have their own relationships.” The second myth is that arguing leads to divorce. “The real silent killer of marriage is not our fight response, it’s actually our flight response,” explained Code. “There are many ways that we flee our spouses everyday: working long hours, retreating into our electronic screens, or throwing ourselves into our kids.” Last but not least, Code will dispel the myth that sex is optional in a marriage. “A lot of couples these days feel that they don’t have sex because they’re co-sleeping with their children and they’re just so exhausted after a busy day of giving all to their kids.” But when parents forget about sex, they stop participating in what Code says is the ultimate bonding act for couples. “They’ll wake up five years from now and look across the pillow and realize that they’re living like roommates and at that point someone will either file for divorce or have an affair.”

Four armed Asian men entered the Atlantis Relaxation Massage Center on Leslie Road late Friday night and robbed the massage parlour before fleeing on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. Around 10 p.m., police descended upon the massage parlour, at 8080 Leslie Rd. The RCMP helicopter, Air 2 was deployed, using its spotlight to search the area from the darkened skies above downtown Richmond, and many police cruisers were stopped at strategic intersections as police continued to hunt the robbers. According to Richmond RCMP’s watch commander, the four robbers were armed with firearms and knives when they entered the business. There were employees inside, but no patrons, the watch commander said. Only minor injuries were suffered by the employees, he said. The suspects, all five feet five inches and shorter, fled the area on foot. No suspect vehicle was seen, and the direction the four suspects fled wasn’t known. Police were still interviewing one female employee outside the massage parlour even as a helicopter hovered hundreds of feet overhead.

In addition to his book, he has created a selfimprovement audio coaching series. Code lives in State College, Pa. with his wife of 14 years, Karen, and their two children, ages nine and 11. Touchstone executive director Michael McCoy learned of Code’s book during a discussion at the family support organization. “When we researched it we were stuck by the practicality of his message and felt that it was something that needed to be put forward for Richmond parents,” McCoy said. “We would like to ensure that parents are aware that taking care of themselves is truly also taking care of family,” he added.

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Authorities have intercepted a drug cache worth a quarter of a million dollars at Vancouver International Airport, Richmond RCMP announced Wednesday. On Sunday, Sept. 5, at 9:30 p.m. police were alerted by Canada Border Services Agency officials that a man was being held in custody after border guards found drugs in his luggage. CBSA officers became suspicious of the man once he touched down at YVR from Tehran via Amsterdam, police said. He was directed into a secondary screening area, where officers found five kilograms of opium concealed in packages of tobacco and candy inside the man’s checked luggage. According to Richmond RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Sherrdean Turley, the drugs are worth $200,000 to $300,000 on the street. Arrested is Mohammadreza Haratisani, 21, of West Vancouver. He’s been charged with importation of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. “This is a perfect example of how different agencies work together towards the same goal of making our communities safer,” said Turley.

MLAs back HST vote Amendment to the 5 Year Financial Plan (2010-2014) Bylaw No. 8568 The Community Charter requires that Council adopt a 5 Year Financial Plan each year prior to the adoption of the Annual Property Tax Rates Bylaw. The Community Charter also allows for amendments to the 5 Year Financial Plan. Subsequent to the adoption of the City’s 5 Year Financial Plan (2010-2014) Bylaw No. 8568 on March 18, 2010, additional opportunities and projects have emerged. The current expenditure bylaw does not include these amounts. Therefore the City is proposing to amend its 5 Year Financial Plan Bylaw. The proposed amendment to the 5 Year Financial Plan (2010-2014) Bylaw 8568, Amendment Bylaw 8653 is currently available in PDF format on the City website at www.richmond.ca/cityhall/finance/reporting/fiveyear.htm. The City is required by the Community Charter to undertake a process of public consultation before the amendment is adopted by Council. We welcome your feedback via email to finance@richmond.ca. It is anticipated that Amendment Bylaw 8653 will be considered by Council for adoption at the regular Council Meeting on September 27, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. in City Hall Council Chambers. Public delegations at the Council Meeting are also permitted with regard to this bylaw.

Tax critic calls referendum ‘delaying process’ by Christine Lyon Staff Reporter The provincial government’s decision to take the anti-HST petition to a referendum next fall was a predictable move, said a local critic of the controversial harmonized sales tax. “I think it was pretty much expected as one of (Premier Gordon Campbell’s) delaying processes—gives him a year to try and soften up the public,” said Jean Sickman, who helped organize the anti-HST battle in Richmond.

“He’s trying to gain back some support by being the nice guy.” On Monday the legislative committee unanimously voted for the anti-HST petition to go to a province-wide referendum on Sept. 24, 2011. Campbell said he will scrap the HST if that’s how the majority of voters cast their ballots. In the more immediate future, Sickman supports Fight HST leader and former premier Bill Vander Zalm’s MLA recall campaign. Vander Zalm hopes to recall enough

Liberal MLAs to force the government to ditch the tax or lose their hold on government. “The recall can start anytime after Nov. 15 and I’m sure that’s the way we’ll be going,” said Sickman. Richmond Centre MLA Rob Howard backs the 2011 referendum, however, as well as its $30 million price tag. “The estimated $30 million is recovered in a single year just by the savings of not having to administer the (provincial sales tax),” Howard said.

“To invest that back into the opportunity for our constituents to have a fuller debate I think is not a bad thing.” Over the next year, the provincial government will be able to better explain to the public the benefits of the tax, Howard said. “I think there was lots of misinformation and I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to put the case to my constituents.” Richmond East MLA Linda Reid said putting the HST to a vote is a good thing. “I think there’s lots of opportunity for individuals to give their comment, and that’s how democracy works,” she said. And as for the costs associated with a province-wide referendum? “Sometimes that’s the price of democracy. It’s an unbelievably important undertaking. Does it come with costs attached? No question.” Meanwhile, RichmondSteveston MLA John Yap warned that scrapping the HST will require the province to give back $1.6 billion provided by the federal government to help ease the taxation change. “If we are going to unwind the HST and get out of the deal with the federal government we will have to return the $1.6 billion, which means either cuts to services or increased deficits and future higher taxes on British Columbians.” While Yap continues to support the tax, he said: “I understand that people want to have their say. The way that we introduced HST last year made people feel that they were left out of the decision.” If voters realize over the next 12 months that they can continue to live normal lives under the HST, “that would, for some people, be tangible and practical evidence that HST is the right decision and really for most people has not been a major change,” said Yap.

More red light cameras to patrol intersections by Jeff Nagel Black Press ICBC is installing 140 new traffic enforcement cameras at intersections across B.C. this fall to bust red-light runners. It’s a nearly five-fold increase from the 30 existing cameras that snap the licence plates of drivers who race through lights on red, earning them $167 tickets in the mail. The $20-million upgrade will eliminate the old film cameras, which rotated through 120 targeted intersections, in favour of new digital ones that automatically transmit images of offenders’ plates to the ticket processing centre. The new cameras will remain fixed in 140 locations that have

now been determined. ICBC isn’t yet releasing the list of target intersections, saying that will come via a government announcement later this year when the new system is up and running. However it’s a fair bet that it will mean a significantly higher risk of getting caught for prolific red light scofflaws, particularly in cities where there are already plenty of intersections with camera mounts. Vancouver currently has 25 of the 92 Lower Mainland camera sites, while Surrey has 13, Burnaby and Delta have seven each and Richmond and Abbotsford have five each. “We looked at over 1,400 signalized inersections throughout the province and gradually winnowed that down,” said Mark Milner, manager of ICBC road safety

programs. He estimated there will be a sixper-cent reduction in serious injury and fatal crashes at intersections as a result of the cameras. The amounts paid out in claims for crashes should go down accordingly, he said, covering the cost of the new cameras. The ticket ﬁne revenue will go to local municipalities, not to ICBC. The digital system means tickets could go out in days, rather than the current four to six weeks. Although the cameras could run all the time, Milner said each one will only be activated part of the time. The aim, he said, is to maximize safety, not ﬁne revenue. ICBC will study which times of day and days of week it makes most sense to run the cameras.

“Richmond’s already had lots of Chinese visitors, but this will open it up to even more Chinese visitors,” said Lockrey. For flights over four hours, city staff and council members are eligible to fly business class, a policy that is consistent with other levels of senior government, said Lockrey. “Staff and council, on these types of trips, have very full agendas when they arrive on the other end,” she said. “They begin meetings right upon arrival so this ensures that they’re able to work upon arrival.” She said all the city’s travel policies, including flights, hotels and per diems, are drafted to reflect what other levels of government have. Fourteen members of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce are scheduled to embark on a separate trip to China this Friday to enhance business relations.

City committee urges feds to restore emergency preparedness cash

‘Unsightly’ property needs cleanup, city says by Christine Lyon Staff Reporter

by Christine Lyon Staff Reporter City council is concerned that the federal government has reduced funding to a national emergency preparedness program. The community safety committee on Tuesday decided to send a letter to Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, local MPs and the Canadian Federation of Municipalities in hopes of restoring funding to the Joint Emergency Preparedness Program.

Public Safety Canada reduced funding for the program for 2011/2012 by 35 per cent to $3.25 million across Canada. That leaves $266,500 earmarked for B.C., according to a staff report prepared by Deborah Procter, manager of emergency programs. The program contributes up to 50 per cent to municipal emergency preparedness projects. From 2001 to 2009 Richmond received $427,680 in grants for training, exercises, plan development and new equipment.

City councillors are recommending this property be cleaned up.

A Richmond property owner has less than two weeks to clear his yard of debris or he could be stuck with a $5,000 cleanup bill. City officials recommended Tuesday that city council authorize a contractor to clean up 13371 Blundell Rd. and send the property owner the invoice. A neighbour complained to city hall in April about the “unsightly appearance of the property,” according to a staff report. City staff inspected the property shortly after receiving the complaint and found a large amount of miscellaneous debris including derelict vehicles, plastic pails, appliances, wood debris, tires, car parts, plumbing ﬁxtures and scrap metal. Since then, city staff have asked the owners, John and Christine Varga, to clean up the debris voluntarily, but the property remains “unsightly,” according to the report. Staff estimate the cleanup will cost $4,939. City council is expected to take a final vote on the matter at the Sept. 27 council meeting.

Don’t save HST receipts, Hansen says Referendum set for Sept. 24, 2011 by Tom Fletcher Black Press Don’t bother gathering up all the receipts that show harmonized sales tax you paid on haircuts and restaurant meals, in hopes of getting reimbursed for them a year from now. That’s the advice from Finance Minister Colin Hansen, who says it would be all but impossible to do what former premier Bill Vander Zalm’s anti-HST petition calls on the government to do. The petition’s proposed “HST Extinguishment Act” demands that the old seven per cent provincial sales tax be reinstated retroactive to July 1, 2010, and that B.C. residents be reimbursed “on a per capita basis” for any HST they paid in excess of the provincial tax. Hansen said Tuesday that his government will undo the HST if that is what the people vote to do in a referendum next September, but he has no intention of trying to sort through millions of big and small transactions. “In my opinion it would not be responsible for any government or any legislature to commit to passing the HST Extinguishment Act as it is currently drafted,” Hansen said Tuesday. The anti-HST petition is now scheduled to go to a province-wide referendum on Sept. 24, 2011, in the first use of B.C.’s 15-year-old citizen initiative legislation. Premier Gordon Campbell announced Monday that if the referendum produces a simple majority of voters who want to scrap the HST, that will be done. But it almost certainly won’t be done the way Vander Zalm is demanding, after B.C. residents have paid the HST for 15 months. Sorting through those millions of transactions subject to sales tax would be “extremely difficult,” Hansen said. And then there are the myriad input credits given to businesses under the HST, as well as HST rebate cheques that are now going out quarterly to about one million B.C. residents at the low end

of the income scale. N DP finance critic Bruce Ralston, who helped collect signa-

tures for Vander Zalm’s petition, said he doesn’t know how the government will refund the HST costs as the petition demands. Ralston suggested an estimate of individual HST costs could be prepared for each of a range of incomes, and

one-time refunds paid to everyone in the province. Neither Hansen nor Ralston would venture a guess how much that would cost, but both agreed it would be on

top of repaying a $1.6 billion i n t ra n s i t i o n funds to the federal government and rehiring hundreds of B.C. sales tax collectors who were moved to

HANSEN

the federal payroll this year under harmonization. The former provincial tax and the new HST apply equally to many items, and exemptions for basic groceries and other necessities still apply. But a range of

services such as hairdressing and gym memberships escaped the old PST, and items such as bicycles and energyefficient windows had enjoyed provincial exemptions that were lost when B.C. adopted the HST.

opinion Toughest drunk driving laws come to B.C. Monday

eginning Monday, Sept. 20, British Columbia drivers will face the most stringent laws against drunk driving in the country.

They’re being adopted to help end the carnage caused by impaired motorists that kills more than 100 people and injures 3,000 more every year. Drivers caught with a blood alcohol reading between .05 and .08 will no longer receive a 24-hour suspension and possible impounding of their vehicle; they’ll now lose their licence, and likely their vehicle as well, for three days and be subject to $450 in fines and licence reinstatement fees. If they’re caught again in a five-year period, they’ll be immediately pulled from the road for seven days and find their wallets at least $550 lighter. A third offense in five years will cost a driver his licence and vehicle for 30 days, $650 in fines and fees, and they’ll have to get an ignition interlock device installed on their vehicle for one year following their suspension. Such a device requires a driver to give a breath sample to even start their car and random samples while they’re driving to ensure they’re driving alcohol free. If a driver blows more than .08, registering a fail on the breathalyzer, they’ll immediately lose their licence for 90 days and their vehicle for 30 days, get whacked with at least $750 in fines and fees, be required to install the ignition interlock device on their vehicle when they do regain their driving privileges, and face possible criminal charges. It won’t take much alcohol for these new levels of enforcement to kick in; according to the University of Oklahoma Police Department’s online Blood Alcohol Calculator, a 180-pound male who’s consumed one pint of Canadian beer in less than an hour will blow a blood alcohol content of .06. That means that quick drink on the way home from work, or after the game, could land you in a world of hurt. That’s the sobering new reality. — Black Press (Burnaby NewsLeader)

here are a handful of professions in the world which are held in high regard by virtually all. Mostly, it’s because they are key to our health and safety, or provide a crucial service to society. Doctors. Firefighters. Police officers. Teachers. I think there’s another batch of people out there who belong on that list, too. Computer techs. Hey, I’m not kidding. Just watch someone who has just put 50 hours into creating a PowerPoint sales presentation, and has inadvertently filed it where it can no longer be found. Someone call a doctor, this man is having a heart attack! Ever been around someone on a critical deadline, and their computer

freezes? Phone 911, someone’s gone berserk on the fifth floor! He’s pushed his computer out his office window, and now he’s climbing out after it! Seriously, if you depend on a computer for your living, or your whole life is stored on your laptop, you know what I’m talking about. That’s when the “computer guy” becomes godlike. At any time prior to that, they exist in remote rooms, hunched over glowing screens doing black digital magic, understood by only those of their dark order. They don’t hang out in the lunchroom. They don’t sit at the board table and offer suggestions on how to monetize the online opportunity. They are invisible. And then, IT happens. Your precious file suddenly disappears. Or it refuses to open. The hard drive is flaccid. The mouse is lifeless. Instead of a cursor, there’s the dreaded endless clock, or the spinning beachball of death. You are jigged. Pooched. Rendered as helpless as a newborn baby. To the computer techs,

Phone 911, someone’s gone berserk on the fifth floor! He’s pushed his computer out his office window, and now he’s climbing out after it!

that is precisely what you are. And now, they become the most important people on the planet. Your very existence rests in their hands. If they demanded it, you would cast yourself on the floor before them, and chant their praises. And so, the computer tech listens patiently on the phone as you detail the disaster. The @##%$! computer lost my file! Where did you last put it? Nowhere! In my folder. Are you sure? Of course, I’m sure! I can’t live without that file! OK, take it easy. Go to Recent Items in the menu bar. OK... Do you see your file

there? OHMYGAWD! There it is! You’re incredible! Thank you, thank you! Yeah, no problem. Next time just watch where you store your files. And then there’s the classic ‘crash.’ The computer won’t do anything! I’m on deadline! OK, take it easy. What do you see on the screen? My stuff, but nothing works! OK. Did you try rebooting? Howzat? Rebooting. Hold down the power button for several seconds. Where’s that? Never mind. Unplug the computer. OK, done. Plug it back in. OK. Now turn it back on. OHMYGAWD! It works again! You’re incredible! Thank you, oh thank you! Yeah, sure, no problem. To all you computer techs out there, I salute you. I worship you. Doctors, cops, firefighters? Sure. But when you have a real crisis, like a corrupted hard drive, who’s coming to the rescue then? Andrew Holota is editor of the Abbotsford News.

letters How about leadership by example? Editor: Re: “Time for ‘new blood’ on council,” Letters, Sept. 11. Mr. Wrigglesworth is right in his assessment of council and the need for new blood. He’s been here much longer than I have and I’m sure he sees the pattern that evolves. Mayor and council tend to stagnate after a while. Oh sure there is plenty of attention and promises during a campaign and yes it takes years to actually make things happen. But after one term or maybe even two, if the city hasn’t started moving in the direction that was promised then it’s time to move on. Let’s face it, municipal government is not a career. Most have careers and should step down in favour of others who feel they can contribute, with new ideas and a fresh outlook. If mayor and council feel they have done—or are doing—such a great job, then pass the city on to new blood, and move onto another government to spread this perceived magic they are working. They constantly preach change and progression, well let’s see some leadership by example. Dean Beauvais Richmond

Better Grades Happier Kids HST hit not that big

Grade 1 - 12

Editor: Re: “Liberals give us tax, tax and tax,” Letters, Sept. 11. Terry Murphy writes about how hard done by he is paying taxes and fees on two bottles of Coke. The deposit is refundable at the same store he bought the Coke from. That way he doesn’t to pay the environmental fee on the gas for his Hummer to drive to the bottle depot. As for the HST, 10 cents goes to the feds and 15 cents to the province. So really your gripe is over a whole 15 cents extra you pay on four litres of Coke. Please note that low income people will receive an HST rebate. In addition, our provincial income taxes have been lowered. Seriously how much real impact does the HST have? The HST value-added tax is the system that most countries are going to. Most B.C. businesses are in favour of the new arrangement as it keeps the playing ﬁeld level with other value-added jurisdictions. Roger Bryant Richmond

Editor: As bad as the Onni proposal to build two highrise towers in Steveston is—and it is terrible—the proposal being put forward by City of Richmond staff to place pontoons in the ocean off Garry Point Park for the Tall Ships festival, which city staff suggest could remain in place year-round, is worse. Garry Point Park is perfect as it is, with its natural setting, unimpeded views of the Strait of Georgia and the islands, and sunsets that must rank among the most beautiful in the world. I, for one, do not want to see the beauty of Garry Point lost to a forest of masts and luxury yachts, anymore than I want to have Garry Point transformed into Coal Harbour South. Just like the Onni proposal, placing ship piers off Garry Point would change the nature and character of Steveston, and irrevocably harm the heritage values that make this community so special. And City Council proposes to do this with no public hearing or input, just as it intends to put $6 million in city funds at risk to hold a Tall Ships festival without having consulted the people of Richmond on whether we feel this is an appropriate use of taxpayers’ money. Perhaps it’s time to determine if the provincial recall legislation applies to city councillors. If either of these proposals goes ahead, I intend to do so. Terence Davis Richmond

Add retail and restaurants to waterfront Editor: While I appreciate the fact that sustainable growth requires a certain amount of density, limiting the scope of development to two purely residential towers at the far end (and leaving the rest for the city to deal with) seems to be a copout solution, counter-intuitive to promises of a “complete” community. Building a park just a few blocks from Garry Point park is a poor use of the land, especially considering the potential that the location has for a lively waterfront promenade with restaurant patios. I’d rather see a denser version of the original scheme: three to ﬁve storeys with terraces, in exchange for a half-acre donation to be used for public functions or a pocket park. A contrived neighbourhood character is meaningless; lose the maritime designation, and the retail or restaurant spaces will ﬁll up in no time. Martin Chow Richmond

letters Chinese businesses should have English signs Editor: Richmond should have a bylaw akin to the language laws that were implemented in Quebec. It annoys me that there are so many

businesses in this city that put up signs solely in what is fast becoming the unofďŹ cial language of Richmond: Chinese. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m no racist. I understand that Canada is a

desirable location for Chinese immigrants for a variety of reasons and I have no problem with them coming to this great land. I work as an English as

a second language teacher and I love to extol the virtues of this great country to my students. I love it even more when my studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;some newly permanent residents or

freshly minted citizens, some curious visitors for a month or twoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; express their fondness for Canada. I also understand all too well the barrier of language and it makes sense to me that when a business that caters par-

ticularly to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chinese population (many of whom see learning English as unnecessary given their ability to conduct the vast majority of their daily affairs with people who speak Chinese) puts up signs, it would be in Chinese characters.

However, the ofďŹ cial language of this provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and therefore the language of business conducted in this provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is English. This means that all businesses, regardless of their clientele, should post signs in English. It can be posted next to signs in the language of the businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s target clientele. I believe that this should be enforced by a language bylaw. It should apply to all businesses and include everything from signs posted on buildings occupied by a business to delivery trucks used by a business. What would happen if I saw a delivery truck, labelled with nothing but Chinese characters, driving erratically? How would I be able to notify the company of my concern regarding the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recklessness if I had no knowledge of its English name? What if the driver of the same truck committed a hit-and-run on a car or a pedestrian and I was only able to get a couple of letters off the licence plate? It would be best for harmonious relations in Richmond between current English-speaking residents and future residents (with the sundry languages that they bring) if we introduce a bylaw that would require English to be included in all business signs alongside the language of each businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s target clientele.

Mid-Autumn Festival coming to Lansdowne According to the Chinese lunar calendar, the seventh, eighth, and ninth months constitute the autumn season. Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated on the ﬁfteenth day of the eighth month, precisely in the middle of the season when the heat of summer gives way to cool autumn weather. In 2010, this festival falls on Sept. 22. The Mid-Autumn Festival is the Thanksgiving for the Chinese people. The Richmond Chinese Community Society is sharing this annual event with the community at Lansdowne Centre Sunday, Sept. 26.

In accordance with the spirit of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is of kinship and charitable love, this year’s celebration will include multicultural performances such as a lion dance, Chinese opera, folk dance, kung fu, taekwondo, Chinese calligraphy and game booths. Five hundred moon cakes will also be given away, along with colourful lanterns. The society is also inviting community organizations to host exhibition booths. It gets underway at 12:30 p.m. with an opening ceremony. For info call 604-270-7222

Terry’s memory lives on Betty Fox reflects on 30 years since her son embarked on an unforgettable journey by Katie Bartel The Progress It took Betty Fox nearly three decades to truly understand what her son meant to the world. Tears streamed down her face as she recalled, a few years ago, watching kids in Bangladesh— without proper clothes or regular meals—running to raise money for cancer research, all in the name of her son. “They had nothing,” she said, squeezing her eyes shut. “They were living in pure poverty. “That’s when I ﬁnally, truly understood what Terry meant to the people.” More than 30 years after Terry Fox, a then unknown runner, started his Marathon of Hope, his parents, Betty and Rolly Fox, are still amazed at how far their son’s dream has come. This Sunday, Sept. 19, will mark the 30th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run. More than 800 locations across Canada, including Richmond, will host the annual run, which has raised $500 million worldwide for cancer research; 20 million a year in Canada alone. Betty thought her son was crazy when he ﬁrst approached her about the idea for the run. On a September evening in 1979, the day after Terry had completed the 17-mile “Prince George to Boston Marathon,” he walked over to the kitchen sink where Betty was preparing dinner and told her of his plans

to run across Canada for cancer research, something he’d already been training for. Betty couldn’t believe her ears. She boiled over with anger. As far as she and the rest of the family knew, the Prince George race was supposed to be a prep run for Terry, who had been telling everyone he was training for the Vancouver Marathon—not a catalyst for running across Canada. When Terry had been diagnosed with bone cancer two years earlier, and had his leg amputated as a result, he had seen far too many kids suffering from the disease. He was determined to stop the suffering. Betty didn’t like the idea; it made her sick with worry.

his ﬁght on June 28, 1981. Before he passed away, he asked his fellow Canadians to complete his mission, to keep running until a cure was found. Three months later, on Sept. 13, 1981, the first Terry Fox Run was held all over Canada. Three hundred thousand people participated and $3.5 million was raised. Some told Betty that the

support would peter out in a few years, people would get bored, they’d forget, they’d move on to something else. But the proud mother, who quit her job in 1982 to fully engulf herself into Terry’s cause, staunchly shook her head. No, she said, they won’t forget. The Richmond Terry Fox Run is on Sunday, Sept. 19 at Garry Point Park at 10 a.m.

Parker won’t continue as chair of TransLink TransLink board chair Dale Parker will step down from the role at the end of this year. His three-year term is expiring and at age 75 says he’s decided to rein in his commitments and stop serving on the nine-member board.

Onni to hold second open house on highrise plan Onni Group is holding a second public open house where residents can learn more about a rezoning application that could result in two new high-rises on the Steveston waterfront, if approved. The open house will take place Wednesday, Sept. 22 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Steveston Community Centre, 4111 Moncton St. Onni will display presentation boards and scale models detailing the company’s plan to rezone the last of its Imperial Landing parcels on Bayview Street. Current zoning allows a maximum of six four-storey buildings on the site, with ground-ﬂoor space reserved for commercial tenants that support the maritime industry. Under the new highrise proposal, the entire development would be residential and contained in two buildings. Onni would dedicate two acres of land to the city.

Steveston resident Evgenia Rabinovich stands with the $450,000 Fazioli piano she will play Saturday at Aberdeen Centre.

Tickling the tip top ivories World’s most expensive piano makes music at Aberdeen Centre Saturday by Christine Lyon Staff Reporter

t just 17, Evgenia Rabinovich is already a third year university student, accomplished musician, and has laid her fingers on the most expensive piano in the world.

On Saturday, the Steveston resident will get another chance to perform on the $450,000 Fazioli M. Liminal during a free public concert at Aberdeen Centre. “It’s incomparable to playing any other piano,” she said of the luxury instrument. “The thing with playing a Fazioli piano is it’s so easy to get across the sound that you have in your head.” Every pianist imagines exactly how they want their music to sound, she explained. “That’s the way that it comes out on a Fazioli because it really allows you to turn your dream into reality when it comes to making music.” And the player-instrument relationship is like no other. “You can really connect to a Fazioli on a very personal level

because it’s such a sensitive instrument,” she said. On Sept. 18 at 11:30 a.m. Rabinovich and 13-year-old Tristan Teo of West Vancouver will take turns in front of the keyboard in a performance that is sure to draw shoppers’ attention. The avant garde M. Liminal model—one of only eight in the world—was handbuilt by Italian piano maker Paulo Fazioli of the Fazioli Pianoforti company. Established in 1981, the company is a relative infant in the world of piano manufacturing but is renowned for producing high-quality instruments. Wood for the soundboard comes from the Val di Fiemme forest in northern Italy—the same place Stradivari found wood for his world-famous violins.

The M. Liminal’s artistic design features a sleek, futuristic body. But perhaps its most defining feature is its one central foot (a typical grand piano has three). Moviegoers may recognize the instrument from a scene in Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, which was filmed last year in Burnaby. The half-million-dollar instrument is up for sale at Showcase Pianos in Aberdeen Centre. Manager Manuel Bernaschek opened Showcase’s original location in Vancouver in 2007 and has since sold 27 Faziolis. One of those is a custom-made Fazioli in the lobby of Vancouver’s Shangri-La Hotel and the other, with a $225,000 price tag, found a home in the lobby of the Fairmont Pacific Rim. Bernaschek said the M. Liminal turns heads at Aberdeen Centre. “We always have a crowd around the store on the weekends,” he said. That’s especially true when young performers like Teo and Rabinovich come by to demonstrate

Evgenia Rabinovich • Performs a free public concert Saturday, Sept. 18, 11:30 a.m. at Aberdeen Centre the powerful instrument. Rabinovich has a Hazelton Bros. at home and takes lessons on a Yamaha or Steinway. She’s been studying classical piano since the age of four, and travelled to Edmonton this summer where she took first place in her age group in piano at the Canadian Music Competition. Originally from Saratov Russia, Rabinovich and her family moved to Steveston 10 years ago. She finished high school at 15 through the University Transition Program and just started her third year at University of B.C. as an English major. Being a couple years younger than most of her classmates doesn’t bother her. “I just feel like I’m supposed to

be there and I’m comfortable being there…to me the age doesn’t really matter,” she said. Sometimes homework has to wait until 10 p.m. so Rabinovich can make time for piano practice. “I love playing. That’s something that I’m always going to do in my life and I would love to be able to be a professional in that field.” She is drawn to the versatility of the piano. Someone once told her: “A piano is unlike any other instrument because you can create the sound of entire orchestra on it.” Rabinovich agrees. When she plays, the sound is often reminiscent of a violin, cello or even a trumpet. Asked if she feels nervous playing the valuable M. Liminal she replied, “No.” “The worst thing you can do is break a string,” she said. For the future buyer of the $450,000 instrument, the cost of a string repair is unlikely to put a dent in the pocketbook.

he Reluctant Tuscan: How I Discovered My Inner Italian by Phil Doran, is a funny little book about the author’s experiences living in a tiny Italian village called Cambione. Having made his living as a Hollywood writer (or “professional sitcom wordbag”) for over two decades, Phil Doran is encouraged by his wife Nancy, a marble sculptor, to make a life-changing move. In an effort to rekindle their marriage and ﬁnd meaning in life, Nancy buys a 300-yearold, falling-down farm house for them to restore.

also manage to meet some wonderfully warm people who invite them into their lives wholeheartedly. This is what eventually wins Phil over. Not that the ongoing process of making Italy their home is any less stressful, but at least it’s peopled with those they can truly call friends. When they have a major car accident and Nancy breaks her arm and suffers a concussion, their friends gather around to support and comfort them with food, wine, and every imaginable act of kindness. While Nancy is fully committed to making Italy their new home, Phil has ongoing anxiety about whether they’re making the right decision, but in the end, he is won over by the beauty and uniqueness of Italy and the Italian people. Until he gets an e-mail from his Hollywood agent… Filled with sarcasm and laugh-out-loud humour, The Reluctant Tuscan is a delightful romp through a country that’s irresistible.

the rat race behind, Phil reluctantly agrees to try out life in “Il Piccolo Rustico.” Despite the exquisite setting and fabulous food, both Phil and Nancy find frustration at every turn. They’re not used to the way Italians do business and any rules they may have lived by in Los Angeles fly out the window in Tuscany. If it’s not the absurdly inefficient bureaucracy, then it’s the crazy neighbours giving them the “malocchio” (evil eye). Nancy is committed to making a go of it, but workaholic Phil still has one foot in Hollywood. Phil and Nancy come up against a barrage of red tape when trying to restore their farmhouse—everything from the inability to get building licences because the house has no official address, to the fact that there’s no road leading up to the house, to construction workers who are more interested in drinking wine and chasing women than working— and it seems to be one nightmare after another. Despite all the hassles they encounter, they

Steveston artist Jane Bronsch, who moved to Canada from Moscow 18 years ago, says living in B.C. has given her a source of ‘continuous inspiration.’

Inspiration comes easy Steveston artist has show on in North Vancouver Finding inspiration for her next piece of work is usually not a problem for realist painter Jane Bronsch. What is an obstacle, she says, is ﬁnding enough hours in the day to act upon all her inclinations. “People always ask me where my next idea will come from, but that’s never really an issue for me. I usually have more ideas than I have time,” she laughs. The Russian-born artist, who has been painting since she ﬁrst picked up a brush at the age of eight, says

she’s been overwhelmed with ideas and creative impulses since she moved to Steveston three years ago. “I ﬁnd it so inspiring to live here. I love to paint landscapes and seascapes, so I walk out my door and there is continuous inspiration,” she says. For the past year her work has been on display at the Marilyn S. Mylrea Art Gallery in Vancouver, but until Oct. 13 Bronsch has an exhibition at the District Foyer Gallery, 335 West Queens Rd. in North Vancouver. — Black Press

and compassion. The organic farm includes community gardens, daycare for elders with diminished mental capacity, a therapeutic riding program, sheep, chickens, alpacas, and fields of vegetables which they grow and sell at the farmers market. (I couldn’t help but think of how the Terra Nova gardens might grow in 30 years.) On this weekend, a sea of cars, motor homes, and tents settled in on the farm. Thirteen white tents formed a semi-circle around a stage, with a large fire pit at one side. Salt Spring Coffee served coffee (my favourite was Byron’s Maracaturra from Nicaragua); Silk Road Tea served tea from elegant silver pots; Merridale Cider poured; wineries poured; R&B Brewing Co. poured. Chefs from across Canada (and local) donned white chef jackets, fired up their charcoal or gas barbecues and prepared everything from locally raised bison to grass-fed sirloin steak; Sooke Hill rainbow trout to Pacific sardines; marinated B.C. kazunoko kombu (kelp) to local wild ginger root and sea asparagus. Food was the central theme. From 7 a.m. to 2 a.m., food, food, food, from a Sloping Hill Farm Firelight Pig Roast to fois gras pizza baked in the newly completed wood burning oven, a legacy to the farm in honour of the late James Barber (aka Urban Peasant). During the course of the weekend, I spoke spot prawns and halibut with Laura Neufeld, a third generation fisher; salmon and spot prawns with fisherman Frank Keitch from Organic Ocean; sardines with Don Pepper from Canadian Pacific Sardine Association; sustainability with Guy Dean from Albion Fisheries; and organics with Mark Bomford director of UBC Farm. I listened to fish biologist Alexandra Morton say with regard to this year’s return of millions of sockeye, “We are in the midst of a perfect miracle.” See Page 19

Chefs are the gateway to food From Page 18

She went on to say that there are signs that the ocean is doing well. Nature is incredibly resilient—just look at the sockeye salmon and herring returns. The natural world can feed us. We are on the edge of thinking for ourselves and remembering that the food we take in represents us. We had lost our relationship with food, she said. It’s time to re-unite humanity with the wild. Chefs are the gateway to food. They’ve already made a difference by influencing the public to eat local spot prawns

(chef Robert Clark of C Restaurant said to boil the salt water the prawns come in, pour the boiling water over the prawns and let sit for about 30 seconds, drain, and eat) instead of imported tiger prawns; sable fish instead of Chilean sea bass. The conference offered an opportunity for chefs to gather and talk about change. The conclusion: Don’t buy genetically modified fish; develop relationships with local fishers, farmers, and specialty producers; reduce the portions and promote more vegetables; buy,

and eat, as local and organic as possible; encourage city landscaping to include edible nut and fruit trees; discontinue the sales of bottled water and use tap water; and support urban initiatives, community gardens, and farmers markets. This is something we can all do. And we have something that no one else in Canada has: we have Steveston in our backyard. Arlene Kroeker writes about food every Thursday in The Richmond Review.

Saturday, September 18, 2010

Honda has learned over the years that you don’t mess with success. For that reason there aren’t any radical changes on the Honda Odyssey minivan that enters its fourth generation with the 2011 model. Instead, what Honda has done is listen to the needs and wants of its customers and improved the fuel economy, safety, and ride and handling in the new model. In a nutshell, it’s more reﬁned and better all-round. Minivan sales have shrunk to about half the levels of a few years ago (Canadian

sales are expected to be in the 70,000 range this year), but Honda Canada executive vice-president Jerry Chenkin said the company feels there is still a market for minivans, even though many other manufacturers have abandoned the segment altogether. Chenkin said Honda Canada is “cautiously optimistic” that the overall vehicle market will improve slightly in the coming year, as will sales of the new Odyssey. For 2011, the Odyssey has a new look inside and out. As with any minivan, it’s still basically a box on wheels, but Honda has added new chrome styling to make it stand out .

Honda’s 2011 Odyssey comes in below price for 2010 model From Page 22

the LX, $1,700 below the starting price for the current 2010 DX model. Prices climb to $46,990 for the fully loaded Touring model that has all the bells and whistles at $2,700 less than the current Touring model. Inside is where the biggest advances have been made—particularly the increase in space for both passengers and cargo. Most members of the Odyssey engineering team are long-time Odyssey owners and it shows in the versatility this new model offers. There is room for six adults in comfort in the three rows of seating and a seemingly endless combination of passenger and cargo combinations. The LX seats seven passengers, all others will accommodate eight. The second row, for example on the EX and above trim, has what Honda calls a Wide-Mode as the two outside seats can adjust sideways. The primary benefit of that is the ability to install up to three child seats side by side. The centre seat in the second

row is also considerably wider and it also moves forward to allow for a child seat closer to mom and dad up front. In total, the Odyssey can handle up to five child seats, depending on the trim level. When only two passengers are in the second row, a fold-down armrest provides three beverage holders and a tray. If needed, all second row seats can be removed totally to produce a ﬂat ﬂoor that might be needed if you’re carrying

a 4x8 sheet of plywood or drywall that yes, does fit! No need to borrow a pick up to bring that building material home from the lumber store. Power comes from a 3.5-litre 24-valve SOHC V6 engine that generates 248 hp (up four hp) and 250 lb/ft of torque (up five lb/ft). The Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) helps conserve fuel. A five-speed automatic is standard in all models except for the Touring which has a six-speed.

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

Sports for life strategy moving ahead by Don Fennell Sports Editor Sports and community groups in Richmond are united in their efforts to develop a framework to help residents become more active. Richmond Sports for Life Strategy is being developed collaboratively through a working group comprised of city staff, Richmond Sports Council, Richmond Arena Community Association, Richmond Oval Corporation, Richmond School District, Richmond Community Association and Richmond Aquatic Services. The local strategy is based on the Canadian Sports for Life model which lays down a framework for how an effective sports system needs to operate to deliver two goals: increasing participation and healthy living and secondly personal achievement. Roger Barnes, chair of the Richmond Youth Soccer Association and a member of the Richmond Sports for Life Strategy working group, said he’s pleased with the vision as outlined in the report which was two years in the making. The draft was unanimously endorsed by sports council Tuesday and is expected to be presented to city council— which has endorsed a sports and wellness initiative—in October. But as much as Barnes is encouraged by the strategy, he stressed the importance of it being implemented. “Even if everyone doesn’t agree on everything the important

thing is there’s one plan that everyone follows,” he said. “It’s a bit like a rugby scrum or a dragon boat crew—we need to go in the same direction.” Barnes said the Canadian Sports for Life model is well-based in sports sciences and reflects many of the approaches employed around the world. “It’s based on real world experience,” he said. “That if you’re going to succeed in sports you need to have a strong grassroots program and a strong development program. Those two will combine so lots of people are playing and you’re also doing very well competitively.” Barnes emphasized the importance of children, particularly young children, participating in many activities to realize one of the strategy’s foremost goals—developing a well-rounded individual who will want to remain physically active for life. “You get children involved by making an activity enjoyable and fun, while introducing structure and formal development programs suitable to their age and where they’re at developmentally,” he said. Barnes said the importance of enjoyment can’t be over-emphasized. He noted at the 2009 B.C. Seniors Games in Richmond there were individuals as old as 90 participating and staying active. “An investment in sports is an investment in health for years to come,” he said. See Page A28

Rob Newell photo Richmond Rugby Football Club’s Graham Haig (right) is challenged by Seattle’s Aurelio Silvestroni during the opening-day match for both teams in Lower Mainland Coulter Rugby League Second Division play Saturday at King George Park. Richmond won 4120.

Teams take advantage of a perfect day for rugby football The Richmond Rugby Fotball Club begins the 2010 season havingexperienced a shifting player base. Players taking time off, travelling, going back to university and recovering from injuries have taken its toll on the playing numbers. In response, the executive decided to pull the Third Division XV in the fall season to make sure that two strong teams were being ﬁelded against Seattle for opeing-day play last Saturday at King George Park. The Second Division lineup was a perfect mix of experienced veterans (the forwards), and youth (backs). As a result, Richmond was able to put the ball over the touchline seven times in a 49-20 victory. Graham Haigh started off with a chip and chase after weaving through the Seattle defense. The full back blatantly interfered with the chip and was immediately given a red card and Richmond was awarded a penalty try. Jamie Overgaard scored two

tries. A former Velox player, Wayne at inside centre scored our third try after running over and through several Seattle players. Salvador Pimentel, Matt Carmen and Graham Martin-Muir scored the other tries. Martin-Muir also added six converts and one penalty . Seattle, for the first 40 minutes kept it close, capitalizing on Richmond penalties. The scrumhalf for Seattle slotted 4 penalties all from beyond 35 meters. The second half saw them score eight point, far too few to keep up with the Richmond onslaught. Richmond’s First Division XV played well for the first 50 minutes, leading for most of the time and showing flashes of brilliance in open play but some fitness issues and poor tackling contributed to a 40-27 loss to Seattle. Dan Woods capped off some brilliant ball movement with a score in the corner for Richmond. Recently returned from UBC to the Richmond RFC, Martin Urbanowitz

also impressed. Alex Brown rounded out the scoring. Ryan Shams converted two and added a penalty. The Seattle side had a several advantages on the day. First was size and second was experience, third was the fact that Richmond found two of their players in the sin bin at the same time, and ﬁnally offside penalties saw Richmond constantly being put under pressure. This weekend’s games will be at Sullivan Heights in Surrey on Saturday (Sept. 18) at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. •The Richmond rugby club would like to thank its current sponsors for their generous ﬁnancial support; Columbus construction (www.thecolumbus.com), The Red Mirchi (www.redmirchirestaurant.com) Durasign (www.signsbc.com), Dr. Neil Zastre DDS.

The Rutland Voodoo hoped to cast a spell on the Hugh Boyd Trojans when the schools’ senior football teams met for an exhibition game Friday in Richmond. Instead, after a shaky start, the Trojans settled down to secure a 22-7 victory in the 2010 season opener for both. “It was a decent start for a first game,” said Hugh Boyd head coach Bill Haddow, now in control of the reins after his brother Bruce retired at the end of last season. “There were certainly mistakes (though) and I was disappointed with us taking three personal fouls. Two were undisciplined and that upset me because I emphasized that at the start of the game.” The game was delayed

nearly two hours after a travel snafu caused Rutland (a triple-A school) to arrive late. But Rutland seemed no worse for wear early on. Jared Dalmolin, a shifty five-foot-nine Grade 12 running back, scored the game’s first points, a rushing touchdown, on the opening series. He continued to raise many eyebrows with his stellar play for the balance of the game, but the Trojans were able to limit him to the one scoring major. “It’s hard to say how the late start affected us,” Haddow said. “The kids had been psyched up all day, probably since they woke up and then having to wait certainly doesn’t help.” Tiernan Docherty shook off a nervous start to demonstrate the leadership qualities and poise the Trojans (playing in the B.C. double-A varsity league) are counting on from their starting Grade 11 quarterback. He didn’t throw often but was frequently on the mark when he did to complete five of six passes for two touchdowns. One of Docherty’s passes was a six-yard touchdown toss to his Grade 12 brother Aidan, who also added a two-point convert on Tiernan’s 11yard TD throw to Matt Zimmerman. Tiernan also completed a 20-yard TD pass to Daniel Chernoff for Hugh Boyd’s other major score. The Trojans botched the ensuing single point convert, but an alert Tiernan was instead able to throw the ball to Jordan Jacobs for a twopoint convert. Aidan Docherty and Jacobs also had strong games at outside linebacker; their aggressive play anchoring an impressive looking secondary. As well, Matt Adams had an interception for the Trojans and Ivanne Hertez impressed the coaches with his effort on the offensive and defensive lines. Hugh Boyd hosts Kelly Road of Prince George in its next game, Saturday (Sept. 18) at 2:30 p.m. at Hugh Boyd Park (9180 No. 1 Rd). Kelly Road (AA) defeated Mount Baker of Cranbrook 19-13 in their regular-season opener last weekend in Prince George.

Richmond socks it to Pack in Squamish Hosting Abbotsford Pilots tonight by Don Fennell Sports Editor Sir Elton John penned “Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting).” It was last weekend, at least in the third period of the Richmond SockeyesSquamish Wolf Pack’s Pacific International Junior Hockey League game in Squamish. Strange perhaps, since the teams played a tame first period in which only two minors—one to each team—followed by a penalty-free second period. With Richmond comfortably leading 5-0 after two periods, on their way to a 6-0 win, Squamish’s frustration grew. At 5:06 Squamish’s Ty Babych got into a scrap with Richmond captain Patrick Hunter for which both received five minute fighting majors and 10 minute misconducts. Hunter also got two for roughing. The rough stuff contin-

ued when Squamish’s Luke Kasteel was called for roughing after the whistle at 6:28. At 10:11, Richmond’s Djorde Leposavic was given a tripping penalty and then got into an exchange with Michael Little, with each player receiving two-minute roughing minors. Another ﬁght broke out at 11:21 between Richmond’s Turner Popoff and Squamish’s Jaret Babych, to which referee Mike Campbell also added 10-minute misconducts. Finally at 18:38 Squamish’s Brady Bjornson was given a double minor for slashing and a 10-minute misconduct. The Sockeyes, 8-2 winners over the Port Moody Black Panthers in their home opener last Thursday, followed up with another dominating show of skill in Squamish outshooting the Wolf Pack 39-22. Richmond goalie Devin Nijjer, who was

solid against the Panthers, was even better in earning the shutout Saturday. Jake Roder, who had the hat trick (three goals) against Port Moody, had a goal and an assist against Squamish. Sebastien Pare scored twice and Jeremy Hamaguchi, Kyzen Loo and Eli Wiebe also had two-point games as 11 Sockeyes shared in the scoring. The Sockeyes, now 2-0 to start the season, host the Abbotsford Pilots (1-0) tonight (Thursday) at 7:30 p.m. at Minoru Arena. The Pilots needed some late-game heroics to pull out a 5-4 overtime win over the Delta Ice Hawks in their home opener last Friday. Kevin Lourens scored the winner at 1:28 of extra time after Brad Parker had netted the equalizer with two seconds to play in regulation.

Don Fennell photo Led by their feisty captain Patrick Hunter, the Richmnd Sockeyes showed Saturday in Squamish they won’t be pushed around. Sockeyes defeated the Wolf Pack 6-0.

Sports for Life Strategy to be presented to council From Page A25

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve faced environmental trends in recent decades in which people have become less active and we need to reverse that,â&#x20AC;? said Barnes. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessary have to be sportsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;walking or cycling

are fabulous. Being involved in organized sports helps people to be more active, but at the end of the day as long as people are active thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the goal.â&#x20AC;? Barnes blames the increasing sedentary lifestyle partly on todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fast-paced eco-

nomic world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are busy and there are more white-collar (ofďŹ ce) jobs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are also more attractions that are actually sedentary. Thirty years ago there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t video games and kids are spending a lot of time in front of their comput-

ers. Plus there are over 200 T.V. channels. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty strong competition weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to ďŹ ght against.â&#x20AC;? So how to win? Barnes suggests two things to start. Ensure people are aware of the sports and recreation opportunities that exist. He

said Richmond is particularly blessed by the number and variety of opportunities. Secondly, he said, it must be easy to participate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to get the barrier to enter lower if you like,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then we need to ensure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun, satisfying

experience.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the younger ages fun and enjoyment is critical,â&#x20AC;? Barnes added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come back if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a good time. The ďŹ rst couple of years (participating in sport) are about enjoyment. The training and competition come later.â&#x20AC;?

2010 World Wheelchair Rugby Championships Sept. 17-26 at the Richmond Olympic Oval

Kevin Bogetti-Smith photo A determined Ian Chan of Richmond (shown here in a match against Australia) will be playing on home soil as his Canadian team hosts the 2010 World Wheelchair Rugby Championships Sept. 17-26 at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

Captain Canuck ready to lead Richmond’s Ian Chan pumped as Canada prepares to host world championship by Don Fennell Sports Editor Ian Chan is a study in contrasts. Besides commitment and intelligence, one of his strengths as a player is speed—just not before a game. He’s so meticulous preparing for a match that he’s usually the last player dressed, which teammates are quick to rib him about. On the ﬂoor Chan, 33, has few peers who can match his overall skill set. And having played wheelchair rugby since 1995—on the Canadian national team since 1997—he brings plenty of experience too.

The undisputed leader of the Canadian squad at the 2010 World Wheelchair Rugby Championships, Richmond’s Chan is pumped to play in front of friends and family. “I don’t expect any nervousness,” he said. “We’ve played in front of large crowds before. The Canada Cup is an international event always played on home soil the same year as worlds or Paralympics. There’s a little more at stake maybe because it’s worlds, but I don’t the think the guys have put any added pressure on themselves. We’ve trained hard and I think we’re ready.” With a good mix of veterans and rookies, Chan likes Can-

He said new head coach Kevin Orr, an American, has introduced a few wrinkles while instilling conﬁdence in the team. “Kevin has done a great job,” Chan said. “He’s obviously a seasoned coach with a lot of international experience and brings with him all sorts of knowledge he’s

passed on to us. Even though he’s an American coach coming into a Canadian system he’s a good ﬁt for us.” One of the changes Orr has made is to Canada’s style of play. The club has basically adopted hockey shifts in which the players go hard for several minutes—not worrying about conserving energy—before taking a two

or three-minute rest. “I was a little weary at ﬁrst,” Chan said. “I didn’t know how the team would respond and everything would gel, but I personally like it and I think it helps with our conﬁdence too.” Under Orr, the Canadians also play a more up-tempo game, taking advantage of good team speed that has dramatically contributed to higher goal production. All this suits Chan well. “He’s (not only) one of the more cerebral players on team, but is very tacticallyminded,” Orr said. “He’s also a good athlete who enjoys sharing his knowledge with other players and

leading by example is his strongest attribute.” Orr said one his biggest objectives has been to develop team depth. Having veteran athletes like Chan mentor young athletes helps in that process. “Chan leads by example as opposed to be a real verbal leader,” Orr continued. “And he’s like having another coach on the court. From a technical standpoint he knows how to break down every single team we play. He’ll sit and watch video of every team and how certain teammates with shape up because he’s anticipates so well where the other person is going to be on offence and defence.”

2010 World Wheelchair Rugby Championships

Murao borrows from hockey background by Don Fennell Sports Editor It’s late Thursday afternoon, just over a week before the start of the World Wheelchair Rugby Championship at the Richmond Olympic Oval, and hometown boy Travis Murao can hardly contain his excitement. “I’ve come a long way in the last couple of years and it’ll be nice to show friends and family what I can do these days,” he says. Now one of the most valuable players on the Canadian national team, Murao, 27, has matured both physically and mentally. When he initially took up the game he admits he probably didn’t understand what it takes to be a high-performance athlete. Now he embraces the lifestyle. “I was going to school

and playing rugby and maybe I wasn’t giving it 100 per cent,” he said. “Now I’m training 25 to 30 hours a week with weights or on the court, and on top of that there’s so much more mental training and video work. Physically, I think I’ve made the biggest strides. I’m faster and stronger now and when I made the team I think it clicked that all the hard work pays off and that the rewards outweigh the sacriﬁces.” Murao played many sports growing up including baseball and hockey. He was talented and competed hard at all of them, but none ever produced the satisfaction he gets from wheelchair rugby. “A lot of it could be being older,” he said. “When you’re younger you don’t really appreciate how lucky you are to be part

of a sport and how much fan you can have. But I can really grasp now this opportunity to represent Canada and how fortunate I am to compete at such a high level with 12 of my best friends.” There’s no shortage of competitive ﬁre within wheelchair rugby athletes. And like hockey, there’s sometimes no shortage of trash talking or contact behind the play. But Murao doesn’t mind and has been known to contribute if it can help his team gain an edge. “A lot of the players come from a hockey background where you’re used to rolling lines and it ﬁts into our team mentality,” he said. “I think I can contribute most by providing good, hard minutes. My job is to work the opposition as hard as I can and give

my teammates a break and wear on the other team.” Murao’s all-around talents—both physically and mentally—aren’t lost on the coaches. “He’s a relatively new player within the (national team) program, but he’s a very good example of trying new things,” said Canadian head coach Kevin Orr. “Any kind of new technique or training program he’s a guy who’s been able to pass it over to others on our team. He’s a very bright person (from whom we’re) able to get a lot of good feedback. It was his conditioning that really paid off and moved him into (being) one of the keys in our lineup.” Murao is excited at the rate wheelchair rugby is growing. And he doesn’t see it slowing down. “I really think it’s a spectator sport,” he said. “You don’t really have to know any of the rules to ﬁgure out what’s going on. But I also think we’re still in relative infancy of the game. There’s already been changes in the technology and chairs we use. When we ﬁrst started the chairs were pretty heavy and cumbersome, nothing similar to what we

“To me that’s a big strength,” Orr said. “But we probably put more pressure on ourselves than anyone else.”

The rules •Games consist of four eight-minute quarters. •The object is to move a ball down the length of the court and score a goal by carrying it across the opposing goal line. •The goal line is the section of the end line within the key marked with a cone-shaped pylon. For a goal to count, two wheels of the player’s wheelchair must cross the line while the player has possession. •Teams have 12 seconds to advance the ball from their back court into the front court and 40 seconds to score a point or concede possession. •A team is not allowed to have more than three players in their own key while defending their goal line. Offensive players cannot remain in the opposing team’s key for more than 10 seconds. •A player with possession of the ball must bounce or pass the ball within 10 seconds. •The game clock is stopped when a goal is scored, or in the event of a violation such as the ball being played out of bounds or a foul. Players may only be substituted during a stoppage in play. •If tied at the end of regulation play there are three-minute overtime periods. • Physical contact between wheelchairs is permitted and forms a major part of the game. However, physical contact between wheelchairs deemeddangerous—such as striking another player from behind—is not allowed. Direct physical contact between players is not permitted. •Fouls are penalized by either a one-minute penalty for defensive fouls and technical fouls, or a loss of possession for offensive fouls. Common fouls include spinning (striking an opponent’s wheelchair behind the main axle, causing it to spin).

2010 World Wheelchair Rugby Championships

The Worlds: Let the games begin On Sept. 21, exactly six months after the closing ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games, Paralympic sport is returning to British Columbia with the start of tournament play at the 2010 World Wheelchair Rugby Championships (on through Sept. 26) at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Wheelchair rugby is equivalent to sledge hockey in intensity and contact. It’s popularity is in part thanks to the 2005 Oscar nominated documentary, Murderball, that tells the story of the rivalry between the Canadian and U.S. teams in the lead up to the 2004 Paralympic Games, where Canada took silver over the U.S team’s bronze. Wheelchair rugby is one of the most physical and dynamic Paralympic sports and the rivalry will now continue on home soil, as Canada, the U.S. and 10 other teams will compete for the title of 2010 world champions. One of the world’s most popular Paralympic sports, wheelchair rugby was invented in Manitoba in 1976 by Canadian Duncan Campbell. Duncan along with Jerry Terwin, Randy Dueck, Paul LeJeune and Chris Sargent created the sport for players with reduced arm and hand function to participate equally. Laurel Crosby is chair of the organizing

committee for 2010 World Wheelchair Rugby Championships. A school principal and former president of the Canadian Paralympic Committee, Crosby has spent 25 years dedicated to the Paralympic movement. B.C. is recognized worldwide as a leader in the development of wheelchair sports and her leadership has been instrumental in achieving this. She was the

2008 recipient of Sport BC’s Daryl Thompson Award. Wheelchair rugby first appeared outside Canada in 1979 at a demonstration at Southwest State University in Minnesota. The first Canadian National Championship was held the same year. The first team in the U.S. was formed in 1981 and the first international

tournament, which brought together teams from the U.S. and Canada, was held in 1982. Throughout the 1980s other local and national tournaments took place in various countries. The first international tournament was held in 1989 in Toronto with teams from Canada, the U.S. and Great Britain. Wheelchair rugby first appeared at the World Wheelchair Games in 1990 as an exhibition event. In 1993, with 15 countries actively participating, the sport was recognized as an official international sport for athletes with a disability and the International Wheelchair Rugby Federation was established. In 1994, wheelchair rugby was officially recognized by the International Paralympic Committee as a Paralympic sport. The first Wheelchair Rugby World Championships were held in Switzerland in 1995 with eight teams competing. In 2000, wheelchair rugby was included for the first time in the Paralympic Games competition as a full medal sport at the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games. In 2007, wheelchair rugby was declared a Heritage Sport by the Canadian government, one of only six sports given that designation.
