Steveston groups mull more pay parking Economic pressures force Steveston Harbour Authority to look for more cash by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

Martin van den Hemel photo Erlinda Jalandoon is preparing for a three-day cake conference on Sea Island—the ﬁrst of its kind in Western Canada.

Cake bosses showcase sweetness Top North American cake designers gather in Richmond by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Hundreds of Lower Mainland foodies will be rubbing elbows with culinary art celebrities from the Food Network at this weekend’s “Cake. Love. 2011.”—the ﬁrst-ever Western Canada cake design and decorating event. Organizer Erlinda Jalandoon said the three-day conference at the Delta Vancouver Airport Hotel will offer intensive, hands-on classes for all skill levels and is highlighted by a Friday night banquet.

Food Network Challenge’s Colette Peters and Laura Kitchens will also be leading classes. Although registration for the classes has already closed, Jalandoon (a Richmond resident who runs her own cake business, Picture Your Cake) said locals can still see the wonderful work of professional and non-professional cake designers in the cake showroom.

Pay parking in Steveston isn’t the end of the world, it’s just an economic sign of the times. News that two operators of public parking lots are eyeing pay parking expansion may force others to consider the same, Coun. Bill McNulty said. “If you do it, I have to do it, to make it an even playing field,” he said.

Bob Baziuk, general manager of the harbour authority, said pay parking was introduced at a few lots on Aug. 1, but other lots will be considered for something similar. Baziuk said its parking lots have been free for decades, but the environmental costs associated with garbage removal and electricity, combined with economic pressures, have forced the authority to consider pay parking as a revenue source. Operating the harbour is costly, Baziuk said. Marie Fenwick, executive director of the Gulf of Georgia Cannery Society, said the national historic site’s parking lot is also being considered for pay parking.

Rview seeks volunteer editor

Martin van den Hemel photo Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie crashes into a pedestrian while ﬁddling with a calculator during a driving simulation at Richmond City Hall on Thursday as Drivewise manager Seann Wells looks on.

Distracted driving can be a killer mistake Officials say it’s the third leading cause of vehicle fatalities in B.C. by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter It’s not just iPods and cell phones they’re frowning on. It’s donuts, dogs and lipstick too. All are potential distractions for drivers which could have fatal consequences. At Richmond City Hall Thursday, ICBC, WorkSafeBC and police chiefs across the province announced a campaign that has distracted driving in the crosshairs. Whether it’s eating while behind the wheel, driving with a pet in one’s lap, applying makeup during the commute to work, fiddling with an iPod

playlist, or taking a work-related call on the cell phone, all carry risk. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie announced that city council will propose a formal distracted driving policy for the drivers of the hundreds of vehicles in the city’s fleet. “Every step we can take to reduce these hazards makes Richmond a safer place to work and live,” he said. ICBC says it’s time for drivers to change their ways. “We need to shift our attitudes toward distracted driving—we can all do our part to help create a culture where friends, families and colleagues don’t expect you to answer the phone while driving,”

said Fiona Temple, the insurance corporation’s director of road safety. Distracted driving is the third-leading cause of vehicle fatalities in B.C. WorkSafeBC’s motto for the campaign is: “When you’re behind the wheel driving is your only job.” ICBC also issued some tips for safe cellphone use: • place calls before driving; • pull over to make or receive a call; • let your voicemail answer your phone; • let passengers make or receive calls for you; • plan to avoid distraction by placing cellphone in back seat.

Community centre concerned its lot could be overwhelmed From Page 1

Matthew Hoekstra photo Coun. Bill McNulty suggests a combination of strategies could be employed.

“It is something we’re looking at,” she said, adding that a decision will be made in the next year. As a non-profit society that manages the site, Fenwick said it wants to ensure parking is available for visitors, and not just anyone shopping in Steveston. If pay parking is brought in, a decision about hourly rates will “keep the broader picture of the community in mind,” she said. Steveston Community Society’s Jim Kojima said the society is closely watching the spread of pay parking. The concern is that with the move toward pay parking, the community centre’s free lot might become congested with non-users. And that means its users may potentially be on the short end of the stick. McNulty said if free parking spaces evaporate, that could impact area businesses. He suggests that a combination of parking strategies be employed in Steveston to address concerns of area residents, visitors and business owners.

For aspiring journalists, it’s an opportunity and responsibility they’ll likely not ﬁnd anywhere else: directing a team of young reporters tasked with giving fellow local youth a voice in their own newspaper. Rview, the youth edition of The Richmond Review, publishes ﬁve times per year, and is seeking a volunteer editor who will be challenged with the responsibilities that newspaper editors face every day. The winning candidate will have a strong grasp of InDesign and Photoshop. This position will require the editor to provide direction and input during weekly meetings with local students, assisting in the assignment of photos and stories, and editing and providing feedback on articles written by youth. The volunteer editor will also be responsible for writing headlines and captions, and arranging the placement of stories and photos in the section. The first editor of Rview, Stephanie Ip, was beginning her studies at the University of B.C. when she took on the challenge of directing the team of a dozen students. Ip served as volunteer editor from 2006 to 2010, when she began her full-time journalism studies at Langara College. Ip, 24, is now a full-time reporter for 24 Hours Vancouver. “Rview was an awesome opportunity where I received basic handson journalism training and had the chance to put those newly learned skills into practice,” she said. “It was an experience that taught me about my own potential and gave me the confidence to pursue an exciting career that I absolutely love. It motivated me to seek our further training and even today, as a reporter for 24 Hours newspaper, I’m constantly reminded of tips and tricks that I learned while at Rview. The people I met and the staff I worked with treated me as an equal and not as a young person, giving me chances to grow and learn.” Apply be e-mailing martin@richmondreview. com.

City Board

MP backs tough crime bill

2012 City Grant Program

Tories introduce changes that increase penalties

Applications accepted until October 14

by Philip Raphael

The City of Richmond supports the enhancement of a positive quality of life for all its residents, and City Council recognizes that one means of helping achieve this goal is through an annual Grant Program to support the work of community service groups. In July 2011, Richmond City Council adopted a City Grant Policy establishing three separate Grant Programs: 1. Health, Social and Safety 2. Parks, Recreation and Community Events 3. Arts and Culture Information and application forms for the Health, Social and Safety, and Parks, Recreation and Community Events Grant Programs are available on the City’s website at www.richmond.ca (City Services > Social Planning > City Grant Program) or from the City Hall Information Counter, 6911 No. 3 Road, 604-276-4000. Applications may be submitted for only one program per year and will be considered from non-profit organizations meeting the program criteria. Completed applications must be received at the Richmond City Hall Information Counter by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 14. The vision, criteria and application forms are being developed for the 2012 Arts and Culture Grant Program and will be posted on the City website on October 21. If you have any questions regarding the program or your application, please call 604-276-4220.

Black Press The name of the federal government’s new, all encompassing crime bill tabled this week speaks for itself, said Delta-Richmond East MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay. “We believe that we received a strong mandate in the last election to continue to make our streets and communities safe,” Findlay said from Ottawa on Tuesday (Sept. 20). “Hence the name of it (bill) Safe Streets and Communities Act.” Findlay, who is Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice, said it entails nine bills that

have been introduced before, but because of a minority parliament, did not get through all the processes needed to become law. One of the leading changes being sought is an increase of mandatory minimum sentencing for crimes involving cases related to drugs, sex and violence. “People look to the legislature to create a sense of parameters for judges, although they have a great deal of discretion when it comes to sentencing,” she said. “But we’re looked upon to look at maximum as well as minimum sentencing.” With the prospect of

longer sentences as a result, Findlay was asked if the justice and corrections systems will receive increased funding to deal with the possibility of greater case loads. “ The time to get through the court system is a complaint we hear often, but if you have more certainty of sentencing one would think that would lead to less backlog in the courts where you have a greater understanding within the community of the penalties involved if one is associated with criminal behaviour,” she said. One of the new portions of the act specifi-

cally targets organized crime for the production and possession of drugs for the purposes of trafficking. “It’s not aimed at the user, it’s aimed at drug traffickers,” Findlay said. Stiffer penalties for violent and repeat young offenders are also on the list. “It’s taking action to protect families and hold criminals accountable,” she said. “It’s par ticularly looking at the victimization of children, as well as drug trafficking. “It certainly gives the courts and law enforcement the tools they need to treat these things seriously so that where there is a rise in crime they can deal with it more effectively.” One of the criticisms of the bill points to the drop in crime across the country. According to Statistics Canada, crime was down five per cent in 2010. Asked whether the federal government should be concentrating on the economy rather than upping the war against crime, Findlay said, “As far as (crime) statistics are concerned, although one can see they appear to show a reduction in crime it’s not across the board. There is reduction in certain crimes, other crime is up. And other crime remains unreported. So, it’s not really accurate to say that crime is down and this is not necessary. “We are (also) the party that is most prudent fiscally, and we stand by that record. So, there’s no backing off that as a primary focus.” Findlay added the whole package is aimed at making communities safer by making those convicted of crime more accountable, making the sentences more consistent across the country. While no hard figures have been attached to the omnibus bill, failure to proceed with the changes would be a mistake, Findlay said. “There have been a lot of questions about the cost, and I guess the easiest way to answer that would be the cost of crime is such a huge number that the cost of trying to combat it pales in comparison,” she said.

Hydro found bypass, then cut client’s power Customer still not happy about failure to notify by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter A local resident whose power was cut by BC Hydro on the incorrect assumption their home contained a marijuana grow-op says she still hasn’t received a satisfactory explanation from the electrical utility. Teresa Tuazon, who lives with her husband in an older house at the corner of No. 7 Road and Westminster Highway, was told by her landlord that BC Hydro cut the power because there were signs of tampering with the electrical meter. As reported in the Sept. 14 edition of The Richmond Review, their power was cut on Aug. 12, the day after their new smart meter was installed, and wasn’t restored until Aug. 31. BC Hydro spokesperson Jennifer Young said that signs of tampering were indeed found at the house. Keith Anderson, director of deployment for the smart metering project, said a BC Hydro inspector found a meter bypass, indicative of electricity theft. But it could not be determined who was responsible for the theft, and the inspector said it was likely that the current tenants were not involved. But Tuazon said she still isn’t happy, as said BC Hydro should have informed them directly about its safety concerns. “They should have let us know. If we had a ﬁre, and they didn’t let us know about it, whose

fault is it?” In a perfect world, Anderson said BC Hydro would have been in communication with both the landlord and tenant. As for the time it took to reconnect the home, that

came within 11 business days of receiving the necessary paperwork from the landlord, which came on Aug. 16. Meanwhile, Tuazon has been told to submit a claim for the spoiled

food from her fridge and freezer that resulted from the power outage, as well as the damage to several electronic devices and appliances that mysteriously stopped working after the power was cut.

The B.C. government will add an extra $3 million to its small business venture capital tax credit and set up an expert panel to review business taxes in B.C., Premier Christy Clark announced Wednesday. The province currently budgets $30 million a year to provide tax credits to risk-taking investors who put money into qualifying ventures, Clark told a Surrey Board of Trade breakfast meeting. “One of the things we know is

that the majority of new jobs in any economy are created by new businesses,” Clark said. “We’ll be expanding [the tax credit program] so more angel investors can get a 30 per cent refundable tax credit for eligible small businesses. And that means these job creators will get a leg up on capital, it means they’ll get a leg up on hiring and on receiving the strategic advice that they need from experienced investors in the marketplace.” The announcement is the third in a week-long series of campaignstyle stops to roll out an employ-

ment development plan that Clark is pitching as “the central mission of my job as premier.” Clark also announced the B.C. government will extend its apprenticeship training tax credit program until 2014. That program currently spends $31 million a year on refundable tax credits for wages paid to eligible apprentices. Clark also vowed to extend the B.C. Liberal government’s commitment to no net increase in regulations, and to introduce legislation that will simplify government approvals and reduce regulations on citizens and small businesses.

‘We’ve accomplished a lot in this last term’ by Martin van den Hemel

Staff Reporter Few people were likely surprised by Wednesday’s announcement that Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie will be seeking re-election in November. The bigger question in the lead-up to the municipal vote is whether he’ll be up against any big-name rival. In his announcement to reporters at his office at city hall, Brodie recounted the advances the city has made, from hosting high-profile events like the 2010 Winter Olympics to providing high quality public facilities and infrastructure additions such as the Canada Line. “We’ve accomplished a lot in this last term,” Brodie said. “The Canada Line now records well over 100,000 riders per day on average—it takes cars off our streets not to mention the convenience it provides moving people in and out of Richmond.” Although the Canada Line is already running at levels originally forecasted for 2013, Brodie said he’s “not concerned” that it might be insufficient in the future to deal with planned growth for the downtown core of Richmond. Unlike the planned Evergreen line to the Tri-City area, which will be used to shape future development, Brodie said the Canada Line was built with the recognition it would immediately be a “high use” system. It already boasts an average 116,000 riders daily, he said. Brodie also revealed that the existing platforms at Brighouse, Lansdowne, Cambie and Bridgeport stations were designed so that they could be extended, and be compatible with longer trains should ridership continue to grow in the coming decades. Asked about the biggest challenges the city and council face in the future, Brodie said balancing growth with livability will be a key. “The fear is that livability will be compromised,” he said. On the Garden City lands, and whether there’s pressure for council to come up with a resolution in the next term,

Brodie referenced the lawsuit filed by the Musqueam Indian Band and how that complicates matters. But he said that he “doesn’t feel a time pressure” and believes the city should take its time to craft a vision and plan for the land’s future. Fears about sea-level rise and upriver flooding threats and their potential impact on local dykes and the city, has the city mulling over an estimated $200 million dyke upgrading and repair project. Earlier this year, the province introduced new dyking standard, which raises the standards across the province. But Brodie said the future upgrades to the city’s 49 kilometres of dykes are already in the planning stages, as is talks about a mid-island dyke running along Highway 99. He said he’s confident that senior levels of government will come to the table with financial assistance to upgrade the dykes when the time comes.

EDITORIAL: Brodie enjoying success

ayor Malcolm Brodie made official Wednesday what all of Richmond expected. He’s running again in the next municipal election, scheduled for Nov. 19. And this term, as with others, he won’t have any trouble at the polls. Since becoming mayor in 2001 Brodie has enjoyed steady success with voters. His leadership at Richmond City Hall has been widely viewed as good for the community—as evidenced by ballots collected every three years. In the 2008 election, Brodie was challenged by two opponents— a well-funded campaign versus two candidates unknown to most voters. He ﬁnished with 19,694 votes—triple that of Ivan Gerlach and many more than Wei Ping Chen’s 1,811 tally. In the 2005 contest, Brodie was challenged by just one other—Michael Wolfe—and again tripled his opponent’s total. It was another easy election in 2002 for Brodie, who bested a lone opponent by 18,492 votes. Brodie has a persuasive and consensus-seeking approach on city council, and as mayor, has much sway in the management of city hall’s vast bureaucracy and its control and regulation of taxpayers and their property.

Martin van den Hemel photo Mayor Malcolm Brodie speaks to reporters at Richmond City Hall Wednesday.

But he’s also well liked, ingratiating himself with taxpayers through many appearances. He’s stayed out of trouble with voters, managed to keep political challengers at bay and hasn’t given voters much reason to change

their minds in the 2011 election. So far no one has stepped forward to challenge Brodie for the mayor’s job. And it’s unlikely anyone with a chance will. It’s too late for someone to begin to build a proﬁle and challenge

Brodie on issues that resonate with voters—namely city growth and taxes. Only a candidate with an existing—and signiﬁcant—public proﬁle would stand a chance at winning the mayor’s seat.

n Canada we assume that we have certain rights and freedoms to feed ourselves: the right to access healthy food for our families and the right to grow our own food at home, if we so choose to. When people don’t have access to these basic needs, well, riots à la Egypt can happen. And yet, some very slow, subversive changes are taking place in different cities across the continent that need to be brought to light. Over the past

year, gardeners in Toronto, Chicago, and Oak Park, Michigan have been fined for growing food in their front yards. In each of these cases, neighbours complained that they didn’t like the “look” of these gardens. The owners were ticketed and asked to rip out their vegetables. Thankfully, public outcry reversed these decisions but you can imagine the stress that each gardener faced. A similar situation is brewing right here in B.C. Located outside of Nanaimo, the District of Lantzville has filed legal action against Dirk Becker and Nicole Shaw of Compassion Farm for growing and selling produce off of their 2.5 acre property. Why? Their property is zoned residential. I’ve been watching the drama unfold on Vancouver Island since last November. Here is a community, where less than five per cent of their food is grown locally, and the local council is trying to shut down a farm because of zoning. You would

think the council would give them an award, not a cease-and-desist order. But I guess that stigma of “farming equals dirt equals backwards” still prevails in certain corners. I should reveal my own bias. I, myself, have grown and sold produce from backyards all around Richmond. I used manure to grow the produce (which Lantzville council also objects to) and supplied up to 15 families per week with a box of mixed veggies. I’m no longer doing so but two friends have continued a scaled-down version. Growing food is challenging at the best of times. The cost of inputs such as manure, stakes, and floating row cover is increasing every year. The price of seed, especially, has doubled since I started gardening in the late ’90s. For the past three years, I’ve begun saving my own seed to cut down on cost but also to save varieties that are especially difficult to find. I hope to have a stash of Blue Solaise leeks

and Poona Kheera cucumbers this year. But saving seeds is a concern to companies like Monsanto, which owns several seed companies across North America. They don’t make any money when you are self-sufﬁcient so they’ve begun placing restrictions to prevent this from happening. Genetic engineering, contamination of the seed supply, and terminator technology are all on the horizon. Two speakers are coming to Richmond to talk about these issues. Lucy Sharratt, with the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network is speaking on Thursday, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. at the Ralph Fisher Auditorium, Richmond Hospital, on genetically modiﬁed foods in Canada, especially salmon, apples and alfalfa. Dan Jason, owner of Salt Spring Seeds, is teaching a hands-on workshop on seed saving at 5 p.m. on Oct. 3 at the Red Barn in Terra Nova Rural Park

Better Grades Happier Kids

Volunteers make a difference at Terry Fox run Editor: When I counted all the volunteers working for the annual Richmond Terry Fox Run, I was amazed and had to check my numbers again—we had over 150 volunteers! As any event organizer knows, we couldn’t have done it without them, and each and every one of them deserves a huge thank you. This year 700 participants raised over $22,000 in honour of Terry Fox. It was not a record year but considering our numbers were down due to a cool, wet morning we are proud of the generous people of Richmond. Many kind corporate donors and individuals must also be thanked for their contributions to a very successful morning. Save-OnFoods and Price Smart provided the fruit table and Safeway supplied the delicious mufﬁns. We can’t forget Ste-

veston Pure Water’s generous water supply. The 195 Sea Cadet band played their hearts out and gave us a spectacular Provincial ﬂag display. The Jardines, a fabulous Richmond mother/daughter country and western group, entertained the tired runners and St. John Ambulance made sure we were safe. Richmond Amateur Radio Club were our eyes and ears on the dyke and the senior leadership class at R.A. McMath Secondary, led by Di Simonson, were the hard working set up crew and route marshals. Lynn Walter’s Richmond Spirit Runners were once again key to a successful event and Janet Betteridge, Richmond’s ﬁnest personal trainer, got everyone moving. The many interesting articles and ads from The Richmond Review gave very important media attention to our

event and was much appreciated. Thank you also to our event bankers from Coast Capital Savings. Bagpiper Jim Wishlove, provided the beautiful sound of the pipes while escorting the walkers around the point. What better way than this to take a Sunday stroll! Our hard working committee also deserves credit for having everything run smoothly and well: Nina Graham, George Agnew, David Okano, Victoria and Irene Chang,

Editor: We are so fortunate to live here in Richmond. A most beautiful place to live. Thinking about this while at McDonald Beach with our dogs we wondered why don’t we have something like Derby Reach Regional Park here. Out of the way, along the river. Something for everyone. Parks, on-leash, off-leash, hiking, biking trails for the nature lover and outdoorsman alike. You can walk all the way into Fort Langley. McDonald beach would be the perfect spot. Day-picknicking and camping for those who come to town or those from town who just want to get away for a few days. There is so much unused land up there one would think something like this should be done. Come on city council, let’s see what can be done. Then you’ll get my vote.

letters Ban smoking in high-rises Editor: I have been working against smoking for many years. If people live in an apartment building with 14 storeys, I believe that no people on the ďŹ rst seven storeys should be allowed to smoke. I believe that each year the people who live in the next storey should not be allowed to smoke. Hopefully, with this system, people on the lower levels could get down on the elevator if there were a ďŹ re on the higher level. I think there should be ďŹ re equipment provided by the government that could put out ďŹ res at higher levels. I believe children should not be allowed to live in buildings where smoking is allowed.

If people smoke in apartments where smoking is not allowed, they should be ďŹ ned $500. The city should have a plebiscite to determine if people agree with the second paragraph in this letter. Norman Wrigglesworth Richmond

community Jeff Nagel photo Milk cartons and jugs will be sold with an added deposit to encourage recycling if Metro Vancouver and the B.C. Bottle Depot Association get their way.

Milk recycling deposits pushed Depots contend future of entire refund system at stake by Jeff Nagel Island Veterinary Hospital No. 4 Road at Westminster Hwy. 604.273.3158 www.islandvethospital.com

Black Press Metro Vancouver will press the province to add refundable deposit fees to the price of milk and dairy products to improve recycling of empty containers. B.C. has previously rejected milk deposits on the

basis they’d be too heavy a burden on low-income families. But advocates say there’s no reason milk shouldn’t be included along with deposit fees charged on most other ready-to-drink beverage bottles and cans. Metro’s waste committee has previously supported the idea, but decided this

month to mount a more public campaign for milk deposits. “Somebody’s got to stand up to the lobbyists of the industry,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said, adding past claims that deposits hurt families “don’t hold water” or recognize environmental damage from unrecycled

containers. “We know what it’s costing us to dispose of these goods in the garbage.” A voluntary milk container recycling program by Encorp has return rates of less than 10 per cent with no deposit-refund system. In contrast, the recovery rate is 80 per cent for all other containers where deposits are charged and refunded. B.C. Bottle Depot Association executive director Corinne Atwood pointed to Alberta, which in 2009 introduced deposits of 10 or 25 cents on milk containers, depending on size. Milk carton recycling rates there have since climbed from 22.5 to 61 per cent, she said, and 71 per cent of plastic milk jugs are now returned, up from 61 per cent. The dairy industry reported no drop in sales, while Alberta cities saw curbside pickup and waste-handling costs drop. Atwood argues the issue is about more than milk containers. The provincial government has ordered industry-led recycling programs to expand to cover all packaging by 2014. That likely means milk containers will be collected through whatever overhauled blue box system emerges. Atwood thinks big beverage companies—represented by Encorp—will try to eliminate all existing refundable deposits on various bottles and containers and have them also directed through the expanded packaging pickup system. “This will be the beginning of the end of the used beverage container recycling deposit system.”

Guaranteed lifetime income as early as age 55.

No single force stands out as the main culprit behind the die-off of millions of Fraser River sockeye salmon in recent years, according to findings tabled at the Cohen Commission. A new report analyzing cumulative impacts on sockeye suggests the fish most likely died at sea, not in the Fraser itself or one of its tributaries. It points to ocean conditions and climate change as two “likely” factors that may have contributed to the long-term

stock decline, particularly as juvenile sockeye migrate out from the mouth of the river to Queen Charlotte Sound and beyond into the open Pacific. “It is very likely that poor marine conditions during the coastal migration life stage in 2007 contributed to the poor returns observed in 2009,” the cumulative impacts report says. It notes water temperatures were much cooler in 2008, and the better conditions for salmon may have been part of the reason for 2010’s surprisingly large run. See Page 15

A new report suggests missing sockeye likely perished at sea.

Climate change, ocean conditions cited From Page 14

Climate change and ocean conditions may also play a role further out at sea, it says. “Some important predators appear to be increasing in numbers and some prey are decreasing,” it notes, rating that as a “possible” contributor to declines. The report was prepared by consultants ESSA Technologies Ltd. and lead author David Marmorek testified at the commission earlier this week. His role was to distill the findings of a dozen other scientific reports conducted for the commission to probe separate potential threats

to sockeye. The report found no conclusion is possible on the impact of pathogens and diseases in the sockeye decline. It cited widely diverging scientiﬁc opinions of the inquiry’s two researchers who studied the possible role of salmon farms. They found diseases from the farms might play a role but completely disagreed in interpreting the actual evidence. ESSA’s report did note they agreed sea lice, escaped Atlantic salmon and waste from the farms were all unlikely to play a signiﬁcant role.

It’s also unlikely, the report found, that Lower Mainland land use or upriver factors ranging from logging and mining to agriculture or hydroelectric projects were primary drivers of the decline. Similarly, pre-spawn mortality of returning sockeye caused by habitat changes or contaminants were unlikely factors. There are plenty of unanswered questions that were beyond the scope of the commission’s technical reports and therefore weren’t considered by their teams of researchers, Marmorek noted. Large releases of hatchery ﬁsh may compete

with salmon for food or attract predators to the same area, he suggests. That may also be a factor with pink salmon. The report notes there’s evidence pink salmon from Alaska and Russia compete alongside Fraser sockeye in the North Pacific and could cause food shortages that hurt sockeye numbers in years with large numbers of pinks. The Cohen inquiry is in its final days of hearings, with senior officials now taking the stand from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. A final report is due next year. The judicial inquiry led by retired Judge Bruce Cohen was called by the federal government after less than 1.5 million sockeye returned in 2009, far fewer than the more than 10 million expected.

Kwantlen boasts record enrolment Student population up five per cent in Richmond Enrolment across Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s four campuses is up seven per cent over last year. The student population has increased five per cent at the Richmond campus, while growth at the Langley campus is most significant, at 33 per cent. The three programs with the highest enrolment increases are the faculty of social sciences, which filled almost all of the available fall 2011 seats, the faculty of business, and the faculty of science and horticulture. “Demand for BA degree programs has outstripped our ability to offer new seats. In the faculty of social sciences, 94 per cent of our seats are filled for the fall 2011 semester,” said Robert Adamoski, dean of

the faculty of social sciences. “Our ﬁll rate has increased for each of the last three fall semesters, even though we have increased the number of seats offered by 16 per cent during the same period. The growth in enrolment is largely being fuelled by interest in our bachelor of arts degrees.” In a news release, Adamoski said eight new BA programs admitted their ﬁrst students in fall 2011. Applicants have been particularly drawn to the new journalism degree, which emphasizes the technical and writing skills relevant to the new media landscape, he noted. The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Arts, and new programs in anthropology and creative writing have also proven popular.

Skater angling for more on-ice success Canadian men’s novice champion will be among select company at international competition by Don Fennell Sports Editor As an occasional fisherman, Mitchell Gordon knows the joy of landing the big one. But these days he’s mostly angling for success on the ice. A member of Richm o n d ’s C o n n a u g h t Skating Club, Gordon, as the current Canadian junior novice men’s skating champion, has been invited to represent Canada at the International Skating Union Grand Prix in Tallinn, Estonia Oct. 10 to 16. He’s one of only five male skaters to be selected to the international competition by Skate Canada. Gordon, 15, has a clear idea of what he wants to accomplish in Estonia. He wants to place high, of course, but his No. 1 goal is to achieve a score of 150 points. “I did it this summer (at B.C. Summer Skate) and I think it’s attainable again,” he said following a determined practice Wednesday at Minoru Arenas. Since winning the national novice title last January in Victoria,

“What I’m really looking for from my jumps is to perform them with consistency.” - Mitchell Gordon

Gordon has matured considerably, say his coaches Eileen and Keegan Murphy. And he was already a remarkably mature athlete and an honour roll student at Vancouver’s Kitsilano Secondary. Maturity coupled with natural talent and a tenacious work ethic is what separates Gordon from the pack. His success and humbleness make him a role model for Connaught’s younger skaters and popular among his peers in the club. “When an athlete reaches a certain level of maturity it enables them to trust the process,” says Keegan Murphy. “And it allows the coaches to address issues that are not always the most fun or exciting, but ones that sometimes need to be addressed most to help

that individual reach a national or international level.” An avid reader, Gordon is also an astute listener who quickly soaks up advice. He’s also a keen student and fan of skating, often watching online videos of skaters like Patrick Chan and Evgeni Plushenko. Two of his favourite skaters because of their strong performance and jumping skills, he tries to combine the best of both. One of Gordon’s goals at the Canadian championships was to land a triple lutz. He was unsuccessful, but was able to achieve the feat at the Canada Summer Games and is confident he can do it again. “What I’m really looking for from my jumps is to perform them with consistency,” he says. “Summer skate

definitely boosted my confidence and level of performance and I know what I can do under heavy pressure.” Though he’s only skated in two previous international competitions, both in Los Angeles, Gordon is anxious to experience the grand prix in Estonia. “I hope these opportunities will keep coming,” says Gordon, who aspires to skate for Canada at the either the 2014 or 2018 Winter Olympic Games. Keegan Murphy, who accompany Gordon to Estonia, says this competition will be about “nothing but experience.” “Just to be included in an international circuit presents a wide open door for (Gordon),” he says. “This competition can’t be result-oriented, it has to be purely about learning to deal with travel and time changes and competing against guys much older, and his finding his bearings amongst an international field. If he can also give a strong first impression to a panel of international judges that would be great.”

First World Girls’ Hockey Day to be held on Oct. 2 Initiative intended to help grow the female game by Don Fennell Sports Editor In a determined effort to help grow female hockey, the International Ice Hockey Federation is holding its first-ever World Girls’ Hockey Day on Oct. 2. Hockey Canada and its female and minor member associations across the country hold public skating, Esso Fun Days, Try Hockey Days, team building activities and other events to celebrate female hockey. The director of hockey development for the Richmond Ravens, the local female minor hockey association, thinks it’s a good move. “I think the IIHF is trying to market the game to females to show them that the female game is different (than the men’s game),” says Lindsay. “No. 1, there’s no bodychecking. And if you look at the (printed) material it’s all in pink and there are a lot of girls smiling. It’s emphasizing that the game is different than the male game, that it’s a viable option for girls and women.” But selling the game remains a challenge says Lindsay, “even for us in a country that loves hockey.” While the Richmond Ravens boast a membership of 250 players, which matches the total of female players in the Czech Republic, Lindsay says they take nothing for granted. “Our key initiatives continue to be to get more girls to try hockey,” he says, and we continue to focus on how we can strengthen the connection of all the members of Ravens to make the parents and kids feel as much a part of the association, and not just their team, as possible.” It’s that kind of focus on building togetherness that inspired the Richmond Girls’ Ice Hockey Association to change its name to the Richmond Ravens last season. “We also want to con-

tinue to focus on skill development,” says Lindsay. “If the girls don’t continue to improve they’ll look for an alternative which may be outside the sport altogether.”

Lindsay hopes initiatives such as World Girls’ Hockey Day on Oct. 2 will encourage females in countries other than Canada and the U.S., where the female hockey is solid, to at least give the game a try.

Voted “Best Yoga Studio” in Richmond.

“In the big picture if some of the other countries don’t start developing players it could be a challenge to keep female hockey in the Olympics,” he says.

Floorball hockey prepares for new season at Oval, tryouts tonight It’s tryout time as the Vancouver Floorball Hockey League enter its third season. A draft/tryout game session will be held tonight (Sept. 23) at 8 p.m. at the Richmond Olympic Oval. The four general managers will select players from the pool. A $20 tryout fee applies, and includes membership in the BC Floorball Hockey League. Games throughout the season

are held at the Oval on Friday nights, at either 7 p.m. or 8:30 p.m. VFL president Greg Beaudin says the league strives to bring a competitive level of play while maintaining a high focus on fun, fair play and sportsmanship. The league is coordinated by Modern Hockey and is regulated by its team managers, officials and committee volunteers.

Turf triumph

The league is open for all to tryout. Currently, there is only one division in the VFL, the Elite Division and not everyone will make a team. Still, Beaudin encourages players from other team sports to tryout. The VFL is open to players aged 15 years and up, female or male. Tryouts are held at various floorball nights across the Lower Mainland. Visit bcfloorball.com for more details.
