Happy Canada Day at the Salmon Fest

Steveston is the place to be today—Canada Day— as the 66th Steveston Salmon Festival takes place.

Events include the children’s bike parade at 9:30 a.m., the main pa-rade at 10 a.m., a salmon barbecue that sells out fast, Japanese cultural displays, entertainment, a craft fair, children’s entertainment and much, much more.

To help locals sample the comprehensive menu of sports on offer, great efforts have been made to temporarily relocate the Richmond Olympic Oval to the fi shing village...well at least the guts of the oval.

The new Richmond Olympic Oval area will sit east of the food court, and give visitors a chance to practise their slap-shot at the Scotiabank Street Hockey Zone. In the afternoon, Vancouver Canuck Manny Malhotra is expected to make an appearance.

To make this year’s festival the greenest ever, volunteer sorters will be strategically located throughout the festival site, to help everyone properly sort their gar-bage.

Only biodegradable or compostable cutlery and dishes will be supplied by food vendors, so it all goes into compost, said festival organizer Janice Froese.

See www.steveston-salmonfest.ca for more information on festival events.

Richmond growers now selling B.C. berries

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Local strawberries will be at their peak this long weekend, according to a lifelong grower in East Richmond.

“You can’t get them any better than they are right now,” said Bill Zylmans, who started selling his ripe red product two weeks ago at his roadside stand.

Although cool, wet weather pushed the strawberry season late, the me-teorological mix is helping produce the best berries in a decade, said Zyl-mans.

“I’ve never experienced a spring and summer like this one,” he said. “But the crop is awesome.”

Zylmans said his berries are pesti-cide-free, and notable for large size, full red colour and rich fl avour.

“That’s what sets B.C. strawber-ries apart from California berries,” he said.

According to the Fraser Valley Straw-berry Growers Association, 30 produc-ers grow the red berries on approxi-

mately 600 acres across the region.Strawberry sales at Zylmans’ W&A

Farms (17771 Westminster Hwy.) are expected to continue for at least an-other week. The stand is open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. A U-Pick fi eld is open daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., weather permitting.

Another longtime Lulu Island grower, Gurpal Singh Birak, sells his product at Birak Berry Farm at 4200 No. 6 Rd. The stand is open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., sell-ing ready-picked berries and offering fi elds to pick your own.

G.S. Farm at 11400 No. 4 Rd. has them, as do a few farms along Ste-veston Highway.

Riot hero earns kudo

A local sous chef will be honoured for his efforts to stop some of the vandalism during the Stanley Cup Riot in downtown Vancouver earlier this month.

R o b e r t Mackay will be presented the Chair-man’s Award of Merit—the highest hon-our given to an employee of the orga-nization—by Great Cana-dian Gaming Corporation rep-resentatives next Thursday.

He’ll be presented the award outside the Hudson’s Bay fl agship store in Vancou-ver, the very place where he tried to prevent rioters from smashing display windows, only to be beaten down by a mob of them.

Mackay works at Tramonto restaurant at River Rock Ca-sino Resort, and was spared further injury when Rich-mond’s Dean Seskin, 18, stepped forward to use his body to shield Mackay from a fl urry of punches and kicks. Chris McLelland, 19, also helped.

“We are extremely proud and honoured to have such an amazing employee be a part of the River Rock Casino family,” said corporation president Rod Baker. “Mr. Mackay is an example to all British Columbi-ans as he exemplifi ed courage and honour in the face of ex-treme danger and adversity.”

The CEO of Hudson’s Bay, Richard Baker, the City of Vancouver and the Downtown Business Improvement Asso-ciation will also acknowledge Mackay’s actions.

Matthew Hoekstra photoThe tattered fl ags of Richmond Public Market has raised the ire of a resident.

Resident irked by poor condition of flags at Richmond Public Market


Torn, tattered and faded, the Canadian fl ags fl ying above Rich-mond Public Market have raised the ire of a resident ahead of Canada Day celebrations today.

“They are an absolute disgrace to our community, they’re dis-respectful and they’re just not right,” said John Way, 62, a long-time Richmond resident who lives on Buswell Street across from the City Centre market.

Multiple fl ags fl ying from roof-

top poles adorn the building. B.C. fl ags fl ying in tandem are in a similar state.

Way said his father served as a Canadian naval offi cer for 36 years, a career that led him into major confl icts including the Sec-ond World War and Korea.

“He always stood at attention and saluted the fl ag,” said Way. “I just think people need to pay more attention to the fl ag and the provincial fl ag as well especially on Canada Day.”

A call to the administration of-fi ce of the market, which special-izes in Chinese food and produce, was not returned.

According to the Canadian Heri-tage department’s rules for fl ying the fl ag, when a fl ag becomes tat-tered and is no longer in a “suit-able condition,” it should be de-stroyed in a “dignifi ed way.”

‘Giant within the community’


Richmond developer, philanthropist and community leader Milan Ilich died Wednesday following an extended illness.

Ilich built infrastructure across the province, advanced professional and amateur sports and supported nu-merous charitable causes over the years.

“As a community, a province, a country, we’ve lost a great British Columbian,” said John Yap, MLA for Richmond-Steveston.

Yap said Ilich was a great Canadian immigrant success story that reso-nates with so many Canadians—arriv-ing here with little and through hard work and an entrepreneurial spirit, built a successful business.

What really impressed Yap about the man was how much he cared about

the community.“The story of Milan Ilich is a great

Canadian example for all of us,” said Yap.

Born in the small northern B.C. min-ing town of Anyox to Yugoslavian par-ents, Ilich later settled in Richmond with his family of 10. During the Great Depression, Ilich left school to help bring food to the family table.

Ilich later carved out a career in the construction industry. In 1965, he and his wife Maureen invested their savings in a small business that has grown into the Progressive Group of Companies, which has been behind many development projects in Rich-mond and elsewhere.

In recent years, Ilich has become known more for his charitable contri-butions through the Milan and Mau-reen Ilich Foundation, which contrib-uted half the $4-million needed to bring an MRI machine to Richmond Hospital.

His interest in building B.C. sports led him to invest in the Vancouver Giants hockey team. He’s also a for-mer owner of the Vancouver 86ers soccer team.

He has provided support to count-less others. In 2008, when The Rich-mond Review reported on the plight of a young mother who had just lost her husband and wasn’t sure how she’d pay her bills, Ilich handed the woman a dozen post-dated cheques worth $24,000.

Last fall the provincial government bestowed his highest honour on Ilich—the Order of B.C.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie called Ilich a “giant within the community.”

“There were very few community organizations that were not sup-ported directly or indirectly by his contributions and his support,” said Brodie.

Sometimes the support would be fi nancial—as the largest single donor to the Caring Place—but he also lent his personal support to various proj-ects. Brodie said an example came when the city was building the oval, and Ilich stepped in as honourary chairman of the building commit-tee.

Brodie said Ilich was also a dedi-cated family man who loved Rich-mond.

A veteran councillor is serving up an idea for on-street food ven-dors the city could allow in the future—SOUL food.

The acronym is short for sustain-able, organic, unprocessed and primarily local food, a diet grow-ing in popularity and encouraged by nutritionists.

“If we are the healthiest city in Canada and the least obese city in Canada than we should make sure the street vendors are selling healthy food to the public,” said Coun. Harold Steves this week.

City staff are mulling the idea of allowing food carts to sell food to pedestrians in high-traffi c ar-

eas along the Canada Line. Ac-cording to a report considered Monday, retail operations are being explored on city property near Aberdeen Station and near the No. 3 Road and Westminster Highway intersection.

Vancouver recently opened up its streets to food vendors through a selective bidding pro-cess. Among those who favour food carts here is Coun. Sue Halsey-Brandt.

“The inclusion of vendors on street corners will animate and enliven the street and provide our citizens services they want and services they require,” she said.

Robert Kates, manager of real estate services for the city, said staff still must determine what interest the market has, but not-ed he already received a call this week from an interested vendor.

Staff must also decide what lo-cations and types of vendors the city would welcome. Kates said his intention would be to work with existing bricks-and-mortar businesses, and not offer them up new street-side competition.

Said Kates: “Certainly the in-tent is to have something different lively and something to animate the street, so to speak.”

Draw to break election tieThe possibility is remote, but what the city does if candidates

tie in a municipal election erupted into the only debate at city hall Monday night.

Council voted 7-2 to decide the winning candidate by a random draw—not a runoff election that some had hoped for.

If a tie for the mayor’s seat or final council position stands after a judicial recount, past practice in Richmond was to hold a runoff election.

But Mayor Malcolm Brodie said provincial legislation requires all unsuccessful candidates to be included in the runoff election—not just those who tied.

“That’s a very expensive way to go,” he said, noting the second election would cost $250,000. “It just doesn’t seem to make cost effective sense in my opinion.”

Coun. Evelina Halsey-Brandt, who along with Coun. Sue Halsey-Brandt favoured the runoff option, said flipping a coin to decide the winner is a “kick in the butt” to democracy.


City council approved a bylaw Mon-day that will give some Brighouse businesses a partial break from in-flated tax bills.

Skyrocketing land prices in City Cen-tre have forced longtime businesses to stomach property tax bill increases of 107 per cent since 2005, according to the city’s finance department.

The new bylaw makes some proper-ties eligible for a 20 per cent reduction in assessed value—bringing down the tax increase to 66 per cent.

Andrew Nazareth, head of finance at city hall, called the new tax rate “more reasonable,” while Coun. Greg Halsey-Brandt called it “nice, but it’s not great.”

Up to 40 City Centre properties are eligible for the tax break, according to city staff. It will be offered each year until 2016.

Coun. Ken Johnston said in some cases the tenant of a building is suf-fering under the high taxes—not the landowner.

“I think it’s trying to put equity and fairness in a system where, especially the tenants, had no control over,” he said.

Final adoption of the bylaw is ex-pected July 11.

Staff will offer details of the bylaw at a public meeting at city hall July 6 at 4 p.m.

Is There a “Right to Drive”?Road Rules ‘mission’

throughout its continuous weekly publication since June 2003 in community newspapers throughout the lower mainland of Vancouver and online at www.roadrules.ca is to inform our readers about and assist them with better understanding of local road safety issues.

We hope that all road users who are better informed about the myriad road safety issues they must confront everyday will also be safer road users. Despite our local focus, we have come to appreciate the degree to which road safety is a many tentacled subject with a global reach. Local focus inevitably has lead to comparison, exploration, and analysis of how similar issues are dealt with elsewhere — in the rest of Canada and the US, and in the rest of the motorized and ‘becoming-motorized’ world. This has secured www.RoadRules.ca a dedicated worldwide readership.

Recently a story about a unique driving rule in Saudi Arabia has reminded us about the intrinsic signifi cance of mobility freedom in modern life. Saudi Arabia has the distinction of being the only country in the world that bans women from driving. The ban is not a written law but rather a religious edict about an inevitable spread of temptation, vice, and corruption if women went about on their own encountering male strangers, as driving would enable them to do.

Farzaneh Milani, chairwoman of the Department of Middle Eastern and South Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Virginia disputes this characterization of the underlying reason for the ban. Writing in The New York Times, she said, “In Saudi

Arabia … anxiety [over women’s unrestrained mobility] is acute: the streets — and the right to enter and leave them at will — belong to men. A woman who trespasses is either regarded as a sinful “street-walker” or expected to cover herself in her abaya, a portable house. …The Saudi

regime, like the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Taliban in Afghanistan, the military junta in Sudan and the Islamic Salvation Front in Algeria, … expects women to remain in their “proper place.” ...[This] is about dominating, excluding and subordinating women. It is about barring them from political activities…. It is about denying women the basic human right to move about freely.”

In mid-May 2011, a Saudi mother, Najla al-Hariri, who was an experienced motorist having driven in Egypt and Lebanon, defi ed the ban by driving non-stop for four days in the streets of Jeddah “to defend her belief that Saudi women should be allowed to drive.” She ridiculed the notion that in being driven around by their male relatives or hired drivers, Saudi women are treated “like queens.” “This is a big lie,” she said. “We are always at their mercy to give us a lift.” Soon thereafter, Manal al-Sharif, who posted a video of herself driving around Al Khobar was jailed for nine days. Since then, an internet-based campaign for a nationwide protest drive that started on June 17th has rallied a small number of Saudi women to follow their examples.

Two local schools were honoured for their concerns about Mother Nature, and tied for fi rst place in the Climate Change Showdown.

A Grade 7 class at Kathleen McNeely el-ementary, and a Grade 4/5 class from Jessie Wowk earned kudos for coming up with solutions to climate change.

Students from the two schools were recog-nized during a June 27 council meeting, where Richmond Mayor Mal-colm Brodie presented them a certifi cate of achievement.

“These young ambas-sadors of change are an inspiration to our com-munity,” Brodie said. “We appreciate their commitment to help im-prove the environment and hope their actions motivate and encourage others to follow in their

sustainable footsteps.”Some 41 Richmond

classrooms and more

than 1,000 local elementary students participated in this

year’s showdown, combining to prevent more than 700 tonnes

of green house gasses from going into the atmosphere.

No leaders’ debate on HST

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

Premier Christy Clark has turned down a chal-lenge from NDP leader Adrian Dix to a one-on-one debate on the har-monized sales tax.

Dix accused Clark of so far avoiding debate on the issue and proposed a debate on CKNW.

“When she had a chance to debate the HST in the legislature she shut proceedings down just before she was due to speak,” Dix said. “I’m inviting her to do the right thing and participate in this forum.”

He said the B.C. Liberals under Clark are heading a partisan campaign to sell the HST to voters who decide the fate of the tax in this summer’s mail-in referendum.

“We won’t be playing those games,” Clark re-sponded in a statement issued by her staff, add-ing voters need to make the HST decision on the merits of the policy, not a debate of leaders.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon, meanwhile, tried to highlight two other lead-ers—the Greens’ Jane Sterk and BC Conservatives’ John Cummins —for their sup-port of the ‘No’ side to keep the HST in place.

Referendum ballots are expected to be delivered by July 7.

55 per cent of poll respondents say drivers getting worse

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

It’s getting uglier on the roads, according to an opinion survey of B.C. motorists conducted for the Insurance Corporation of B.C.

Fifty-fi ve per cent of Lower Main-land residents believe drivers in their community have become less courteous over the past fi ve years, the Ipsos Reid survey found.

Forty per cent said it’s about the same while just three per cent thought drivers are more courte-ous.

ICBC psychologist John Vavrik said rude, discourteous driving can trigger road rage incidents.

“Aggressive or careless driving such as cutting off other drivers, speeding, tailgating, talking on cellphones and not using proper signals is almost always what incites road rage,” Vavrik said. “While road delays play a part in adding to driving stress, it’s the be-haviour of other drivers that leads to the greatest frustration.”

He said the heated emotions that result can impair a driver’s ability to concentrate, react and make smart driving decisions, putting them at increased risk of crashing.

On balance, those surveyed gave their fellow drivers a C letter grade for courteous driving, while resi-dents in the rest of B.C. gave their local drivers a C+.

Most drivers denied they’re the problem.

A large majority gave themselves either an A or B grade for driving courtesy.

“There’s a clear disconnect be-tween how drivers perceive their own driving behaviours and the re-ality of their driving,” Vavrik said.

The single biggest peeve?Drivers who signal late or not at

all—an infraction experienced by 82 per cent of those surveyed in the last three months. Seventy-one per cent reported being tailgated, 68 per cent said other drivers re-fused to let them merge or change lanes and half said they’d been cut off.

Less common grievances were drivers who honk horns, yell, make obscene gestures, wave arms or fi sts, fl ash lights or steal your park-ing spot.

Two per cent reported another

driver got out of their vehicle to confront them.

Nobody admitted to doing that but 30 per cent admitted to honk-ing in anger over the past three months and between 10 and 20 per cent said they’ve yelled, blocked a merging car, tailgated or failed to correctly signal in recent months.

Ninety-four per cent say they acknowledge with a wave when another driver is courteous.

Most of those surveyed said they believe their wave in turn encour-ages others to be more courte-ous.

Two-thirds said it’s important to them that other drivers acknowl-edge their courtesy, but the rest said it’s not that important.

The online survey polled 899 adult B.C. drivers.

A group of volunteers who work out of the South Arm Community Police Station are doing their part to get local drivers to smarten up for safety’s sake.

While most people frown at the thought of driv-ers texting on their phones as they drive, there are plenty of other things drivers do every day that are punishable by hefty fi nes, according to Richmond Block Watch’s Wendy Milford.

Take drinking one’s coffee as an example.Or reading a map while behind the wheel.And even drivers with a pet sitting in their lap.All are examples of distracted driving.Last week, volunteers Jason Lee, J.B. Burgos and

Priscilla Shiu were spying on driver behaviour in downtown Richmond, with the hope that warning letters will get locals to smarten up.

Locals are being alerted to their bad driving behav-iour via a letter they receive in the mail.

Last month alone, 778 such letters were issued at 21 Speed Watch deployments, bringing the total to more than 2,000 warning letters for the fi rst fi ve months of 2011.

“Please note that if you had been ticketed for this offence by a police offi cer you may have been required to pay the following fi nes,” the letter reads, and then refers to fi nes of between $109 and $368.

Last week, Shiu spotted one driver reading a map, two others texting while behind the wheel, and three drinking their coffee, all in the span of 26 minutes.

Lee and Burgos jotted down licence plate numbers of several vehicles seen exceeding the speed limit in the 30-kilometre zone, including a Fastfrate truck clocked at 81 km/h.

The letters are sent to the registered owner of each vehicle, and they are told the warning won’t be a part of any permanent record.

Warning letters in mail help get word out about distracted driving

Martin van den Hemel photoJ.B. Burgos, Jason Lee and Priscilla Shiu conduct a distracted driver public awareness session near Alderbridge and Cedarbridge ways. They caught one rumbling truck going 81 km/h in a 30 km/hour zone. Aside from speeding, three drivers were spotted drink-ing coffee, two were seen texting and another was shifting his focus between a map and his steering wheel.

School project produced potato crop

by Don FennellStaff Reporter

It may be a simple spud to some, but the potato is a source of great pride for a group of students at Westwind Elementary.

The kids, who just graduated from grades 5 and 6, spent the last couple months of the school year growing the tuber.

“It was even easier and better than we expected,” said teacher Patti Fluker, whose class applied for and received a Spuds in the Tubs kit from Agriculture B.C.

“We also put in pumpkins earlier, but they didn’t do that well.”

Each day, the kids meticulously cared for the plants, while making sure not to overwater them. Encouraged by their success, the kids also held an assembly for their peers encouraging them to join in the fun. At least one other class did, sharing in the joy of growing not only pota-toes but also chives, carrots, lettuce and strawberries.

“Not only have the kids loved it, but they’ve learned where their food comes from and how sustain a little for themselves,” said Fluker.

“And of course there are lots of ways you can use this project in courses like math and science.”

The kids were able to enjoy the fruits of their labour during the final few days of classes. On one of the days they boiled the potatoes and enjoyed them with butter and chives. On another day they picked the lettuce which formed the basis of a salad.

The average Canadian eats 65 kilograms of potatoes per year, According to a 2008 Canadian government report.

It’s berry season, and I’m seeing lots of fruit stands pop-

ping up around the edge of the city. Fami-lies are stocking up for jam making and to freeze for the winter. But, do people know exactly what they’re buying?

There’s an issue about our farms here in Richmond that needs to be aired. On a weekly basis, I get e-mails from individuals, buying groups, and companies ask-ing for organic fruits and vegetables. They contact the Richmond Food Security Society since we publish a local food guide on our website.

It’s with great sadness that I have to turn them away and send them into the val-ley. Why? Richmond does not have one single certified organic vegetable or berry farm. Does that surprise you? It might, since many small growers along Blundell

and Granville advertise their product as “organic.”

Not only is that not true, it’s highly unethical. Organic growers have to go through stringent processes to prove that they manage their farms organically. Their farms are inspected at least twice a year, a buffer has to be grown so that no sprays come in from nearby farms, and they have to keep every single scrap of paper to show what inputs were pur-chased and how soil fertility and pest management was practiced. The cost of certi-fication is high both in time and money.

But for those farms who are willing to go through the process, I can be rest assured that someone has checked up on them. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for some of our local farms. Watching the practises of our blueberry growers, for instance, I can say without hesitation that there is not one blueberry grower in the McLennan area that does not have either Round-up and/or a fungicide sprayed on their fields.

And yet, I still see the term “unsprayed” on farm signs. What does that mean? Often, the farmer is implying that the berries themselves have not been sprayed. But, if you ask them what they use for weed control, or if any fungicide or insecticide was used prior to flowering, you often get…silence. It’s the dirty little secret that we’ve all turned a blind eye to. And it’s not fair.

I would love to see more organic farms in Richmond where I could trust that what is claimed is actually true. I can’t understand why more growers would not want to convert to organic. The price for local, organic strawber-ries is $5/lb and I’m stocking up at the Oak Street Farmers market.

About a year ago, I noticed that Nature’s Path Foods was looking to purchase about a million pounds of certified organic blueber-ries. Their offices are here in Richmond and their process-ing plant is in Delta. Where did they end up getting their blueberries? Eastern

Canada. What was the dollar value that local blueberry growers lost out on (and continue to lose)? $2.7 mil-lion per year.

What will it take to turn this around? It’s hard to say. Maybe a new genera-tion of farmer willing to put in some time and effort to grow sustainably? But, we as consumers certainly need to know what our money is supporting. And right now, it’s not supporting pesticide-free food.

Richmond’s dirty little secret

EDITORIAL: Remembering Milan Ilich

For a man who didn’t like the spotlight very much, Milan Ilich was

very much a star when it came to making Richmond a better place.

Ilich passed away this week after a long illness.

In the business community, he was known for his Progressive group of companies, which have played a big factor in the development of Rich-mond over the past few decades.

Ilich has also been a friend to the sports community. He stepped up and bought the old Vancouver 86ers soccer team when it was facing fi nancial troubles. While he later sold the team, he saved the day for the 86ers and the franchise has since evolved into the Vancouver Whitecaps. He also invested in the interest in sports led him to invest in the Vancouver Giants junior hockey team.

But Ilich’s greatest impact has been in giving back to the community.

For years, he has generously helped to support various commu-nity projects.

Caring Place wouldn’t have been

built had it not been for Ilich’s sup-port.

A $1 million donation from the Maureen and Milan Ilich Foundation kicked off a fundraising campaign in 2007 that led to the Richmond Hospital acquiring a new Magnetic Resonance Imaging machine and

CT scanner, both located inside the medical imaging centre named in their honour.

Our hospital would be a lot less functional were not for Milan and his wife Maureen.

Through all his philanthropic work, Ilich retained a humble nature and

never overlooked the little guys. Last year, he and his wife’s foundation gifted $15,000 to the families left homeless due to a Knightsbridge townhouse fi re.

He will be greatly missed for his quiet contributions that resonated loudly.

Editor:Adrian Pollard of Vancouver

Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation wrote in a letter that “The rigorous provincial and federal environmen-tal assessment process, which includes the City of Richmond and Richmond Fire Department, will ensure the project provides a safe and environmentally responsible solution to serve the airport ...”

This quote implies that Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation is implementing recommendations made by Richmond Fire-Rescue, but actually that could not be further from the truth.

Richmond Fire-Rescue told me it would not be receiving any ad-ditional resources from Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation. Jet fuel fi res cannot be fought with water and require foam. Richmond Fire-Rescue also indicated that due to the location of the Marine Terminal, it would take more than nine minutes to respond, double its standard response time. Richmond Fire-Rescue also indicated that in order to tackle a fi re where up to 80 million litres of jet fuel was being stored, would likely require most of the on-duty staff from across Richmond.

Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation is under no obliga-tion to implement any of the city’s recommendations. The icing on the cake is that in the event of a fi re at Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation’s marine terminal or

80-million-litre tank farm, it would be the Richmond taxpayer who gets to pick up the bill.

On March 24 there was a fi re a Miami International Airport’s tank farm apparently caused by a fuel pump. The fi re was so hot that it melted a 250,000 gallon fi re suppression system before it could deploy. The fi re took hours to extinguish with airport fi re-fi ghting foam trucks and the fi re department stated it was one of the worse fi res it had experienced. Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation’s plan would be to dump this risk onto the Richmond community that is not equipped to properly deal with an emergency of this potential. Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation is also a non-profi t entity meaning that they would incur the lowest level of liability to cover damages to people and property.

Pollard also states: “The opera-tional areas of the marine terminal are more than a half-kilometer away from the condo complex...This separation does not pose a signifi cant risk to residents of this complex.”

According to the Google Earth measurement tool, the marine ter-minal land is 350 metres from the closest condo building. In addition to the threat of jet fuel vapour and fi re, the condos are located down-stream from the marine terminal and any fuel spill on the river would reach them almost instantly due to

the proximity and containment dif-fi culties caused by the fl ow of the river. As per Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation’s own risk as-sessment, we can expect an almost 6,000 litre spill every six years and 117,000 litre spill every 32 years. This is completely unacceptable!

On April 28, Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation re-quested and received a 120-day extension from the B.C. Envi-ronmental Assessment Offi ce to explore the feasibility of changing the proposed pipeline to follow the Highway 99 right-of-way instead of through residential communities as it stands now. Really?! Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation has been working on this proposal for years and they just now fi gured that maybe it would better to run a pipeline down the rarely dug up right-of-way to the instead of the commonly dug up (by comparison) residential communities!?

I understand YVR’s need for fuel expansion. However, I want the ap-proved fuel delivery system option to be responsible and the currently proposed marine terminal is not it. A more responsible option would be a pipeline from Cherry Point refi nery to YVR to keep fuel tankers out the Fraser River estuary.

Gateway says thanksEditor:

Thank you for Wednes-day’s spread by Amanda Oye of Gateway Theatre’s annual fundraising “pARTy” and for report-ing on the vitality of the arts and artists in our community. Not only is there a ravenous appetite for a variety of canvases and sculptures but there is a genuine commitment by artists to support each other to sustain this vital sector of our local economy. All the artists donated their work so the theatre could raise funds for upcoming shows.

Gateway’s board, staff and volunteers used their creativity, innovation and skills to produce a unique event that will no doubt be the highlight of upcoming seasons. But expertise aside, they gave freely from their hearts and put the “fun” in fundraising.

To all the restaura-teurs, wineries, caterers, volunteers, media and artists, you accomplished more than just a positive fundraiser. You contrib-uted to doing what the arts do best. You brought members of our commu-nity together to celebrate and support each other. And we are stronger for it.

Editor:As I read the account of the

seniors’ rally at city council (Rich-mond Review, June 29), I found myself rereading one paragraph with a complete sense of unreality.

“Chief administrative offi cer George Duncan told council that staff have now been instructed to no longer lower the project’s prior-ity rank, adding staff will ‘very soon’ present a new timeline for the city’s top capital projects.”

Oh boy, now I begin to under-

stand why this administration has been such a disaster.

If subordinate staff are suppos-edly allowed to re-rank fi nancial projects, what are the senior (over-paid) bureaucrats and/or council doing to earn their daily stipend?

In my working life, for a time I served in the federal government as a minor bureaucrat, if you wanted a quick and unlamented route to oblivion and probably unemployment, just try to alter any of the priorities that were handed

to you by the senior staff!Perhaps the Brodie Bunch could

stop contemplating their navels, planning for the next election, and patting themselves on the back and come up with a more creditable explanation for this whole fi asco!

Don’t ever forget that seniors are the most dedicated voters around, and a cynical brush off such as this could lead a whole bunch of them to re-align their votes!

I know summer, according to the calendar,

is here, but the weather—need I say more?

I gauge the onset of spring by the arrival of rhubarb and fi nally picked my fi rst stalks

only a month ago(it’s been a long wait). I love everything rhubarb – crisp, stewed, roasted, squares, muffi ns, and I’ve discovered it pairs well with lamb.

The second sign of spring is the arrival of scapes. Those elegant fl ower stalks shoot tall

from hardneck garlic, then curl. Garlic grow-ers remove scapes in the spring in order to send more energy into the garlic bulb. For too long, scapes were discarded, but as garlic lovers know, they are a versatile culinary treasure and, thank-fully, growers now sell bundles of these mild garlic tasting tender shoots. The scape is edible, from end to end. It is tender and also has a somewhat “green” taste much like scallions or asparagus. I use them in soups, sal-ads, stews, salsas, dips, guacamole, omelettes, frittatas, marinades, pesto, salad dressings, sauces, and stir-fries. They can be pickled and added to homemade fl avored vinegars. They also freeze well.

Arlene Kroeker writes about food in The Richmond Review. She may be reached at [email protected].

Roasted Garlic Scapes

Place scapes in a lightly oiled roast-ing pan, top with salt (kosher or sea salt works best). Cover and roast at 425°F for 30 to 45 minutes, until they begin to turn brown. Serve as a side dish. They taste like roasted garlic, but creamier. More recipes, next page

Rhubarb Bread Pudding 4 eggs1 cup whole milk1 cup half-and-half1/2 cup sugar1 tsp vanilla1/4 tsp Kosher salt5 cups day-old cinnamon

bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1 lb fresh rhubarb (about 6 stalks), cut into 1/2-inch slices

1/2 tsp cinnamonIn a large bowl, whisk

together the eggs, milk, half-and-half, 1/4 cup of sugar, vanilla, and salt.

Stir the bread into the egg mixture, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours, pushing the bread down

into the liquid from time to time.Butter an 8-inch-square

baking pan. In a medium bowl, combine the rhubarb, remain-ing 1/4 cup sugar, and cin-namon. Gently stir the rhubarb mixture into the bread mixture. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake at 375˚F until golden brown, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and cool on a rack for about 30 minutes. Serve with whipping cream or ice-cream.

Garlic Scape Pesto1⁄3 cup walnuts3⁄4 cup olive oil1⁄2 cup grated parmigiano1⁄2 tsp saltblack pepper to taste1 cup garlic scapes, cut into

1/4-inch slices

Place scapes and walnuts in the bowl of a food processor and whiz until well combined and somewhat smooth. Slowly drizzle in oil and process until integrated. With a rubber spatula, scoop pesto out of bowl and into a mixing bowl. Add parmigiano to taste; add salt and pepper. Makes about 6 ounces of pesto. Keeps for up to one week in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. For 1/2 pound short pasta such as penne, add about 2 tablespoons of pesto to cooked pasta and stir until pasta is well coated.

Garlic Scape and Spinach Soup2 tbsp olive oil1 tbsp butter

1/2 to 3/4 lb garlic scapes, trimmed

Salt4 cups vegetable or mild

chicken broth1 bunch spinach leaves1 tbsp crème fraîche or sour

creamWarm the olive oil and but-

ter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic scapes and a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring frequently, until soft. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Add the spinach, and immediately turn off the stove. Let it sit for 5 minutes—not too long, or the spinach will lose its colour—and then, working in batches, purée the mixture in a blender. The soup should be a rich shade of green and very smooth.

The Richmond Red Hot Selects hope to cap an undefeated season this weekend with a Provincial A Cup.

The only local team in B.C. Soc-cer’s annual championships, which are being held Saturday and Sunday at Hugh Boyd Park, the Selects will square off with the Prince George Kodiaks at 12:30 p.m. Saturday for the under-16 girls’ title.

Other Provincial A Cup finals, which match the Interior champi-ons against the Coastal champi-ons in a one-game, winner-take-all showdown, will see the Surrey Guildford United Selects playing Kamloops Blaze at 10 a.m. Sat-urday in the under-14 girls’ final; Langley United versus Kamloops Blaze at 11 a.m. Saturday in the under-13 boys’ final; and Victoria Capitals versus Kamloops Blaze

On Sunday, Cliff Avenue Synergy and Kamloops Blaze will play at 10 a.m. for the under-18 girls’ title, while at 11 a.m. the Abbotsford Mariners meet the Shuswap FC Se-lects for the under-18 boys’ title.

The champions in the under-U14, under-16 and under-18 categories will qualify to compete at the BMO National Club Championships, or-ganized by the Canadian Soccer Association, which take place in October.

“It’s a great honour for us to be hosting such a prestigious week-end of soccer and we would like to

thank everyone who has put in a lot of time and effort to make this happen,” said Stewart MacPher-son, Richmond Soccer Association director of operations.

“ We hope that the local soccer community comes out to sup-port the events and participating teams.”

Added B.c. Soccer competitions co-chair Don Dancey: “It’s a very exciting weekend of soccer for the participating teams especially with the straight final format and the chance of representing BC at the National Club Championships for under-14, under-16 and under-18 teams.”

One on one

For Mike Quinn, soccer is a lifelong love.

And teaching the game is a labour of love.

For the 15th consecu-tive year, Quinn will be overseeing a series of popular summer soccer camps at Hugh Boyd Park, which will run from July 11 through Aug. 26.

Endorsed by both the Richmond girls’ and boys’ soccer associations, the camps are divided into four different age groups: four- to six-year-olds, sev-en- and eight-year-olds, eight- to 10-year-olds, and 11-and 12-year-olds.

“The camp has a lot of beginner students, and for many it is their fi rst experience playing the beautiful game,” said Quinn.

“In the older classes we get a mixture of new play-ers intermediate players and experienced players and we make it work,” he added.

“Quite often the stron-ger players actually learn a lot by teaching the less experienced players how to do various skills they themselves have already conquered. It becomes a win-win situation.”

Each Friday we fi nish with a mini world cup with players representing different countries.”

Registration is ongoing. sign up weekdays at 604-276-4300 or in person at the West Richmond Com-munity Centre, 9180 No. 1 Rd. For more information on the camps call 604-238-8400.

Kids fl ocking to Palmer Hockey Academy

by Don FennellSports Editor

For most Canadians, hockey is more than just a game. It’s part of our culture and heritage. A refl ection of where we live and who we are.

Some will argue Canadians take the game too seriously. But the passion is only growing.

It used to be that nearly every Cana-dian boy grew up dreaming of playing in the NHL. Now the girls share similar aspirations.

And as competition for playing time and recognition grows, especially at the youth level, so does the desire for more ice time and instruction. Much of the latter is being fi lled by a wave of new hockey academies sweeping across the country.

While private businesses make up the majority of the academies, the R.C. Palmer Hockey Academy, which will debut this September, is one of a grow-ing number of public schools offering programs.

“We saw a need in the community to meet the needs of kids in hockey,” said Richard Steward, principal at Palmer Secondary. “So much of the time their practices are odd hours, early in the morning or late at night, and that’s tough on them. With our schedule, because we have a fi xed block every

other day all year, it fi ts into the regular school day and they can get quality instruction. It also allows them to do some other things like homewor or have a job.”

Sixteen students, in grades 8 to 11, are currently enrolled for the 2011-12 school year. There is space for a maximum 30 students. Cost is $2,900 per year.

“I expect at least a few more kids to sign up for this year,” Steward said. “We then expect to retain a reasonable number, if not all, while adding more students in the second year (to reach capacity).”

The majority of the students are from Richmond, including Joel Murga who played last season at the Burnaby Winter Club.

“I thought it would be a great oppor-tunity to start working out with friends again, and developing more (skills),” said Murga. “I think it’s going to make me a stronger player because there is always room for more improvement.”

Owen Seidel, who also played at the Burnaby Winter Club last season, said the added hard work and commitment will only help him in his quest to make it to the NHL.

“Hockey is my life,” he said. “But you don’t go anywhere without hard work.”

“It’ll be good for fi tness and stuff, while also allowing me to get a good education,” added Tyler Shugrue.

Kaelan Baker is one of two girls enrolled in the academy. She played last season in the Richmond Girls’ Ice Hockey Association.

“I wanted to get serious about hockey and with this I feel can really strengthen myself as a player,” she said.

Glenn Wheeler is the head coach of the Pacifi c Elite Hockey School, which will provide the coaching services for the Palmer Hockey Academy. A former junior player in Belleville, Ont., Wheeler is a certifi ed coach with over 15 years experience in skills development and

power skating and has trained players from beginners to pro throughout the world.

“Ice is at such a premium right now with skill development, training, and things like that,” said Wheeler. “And come the winter we don’t necessar-ily have outdoor rinks because of the climate. Back east kids are playing two to three hours a day on the outdoor

rink and then going to their recreation and travelling teams. Out here, you’re subject to what you get through your minor hockey association and there aren’t enough rinks as it is in Richmond, or B.C. for that matter. A lot of these kids maybe get four to four-and-a-half hours a week and that’s it. It’s why there’s been such a growth in skill develop-ment.”

Still space for September start

Just back from Spain, where she played her fourth year of pro basketball, Richmond’s Breanne Watson took a detour on her way home to play in Hoopfest in Spokane, Wash.

Gearing up for the annual Dolphin Park Classic, a four-on-four playground tourna-ment set for July 15 to 17 at Thompson Community Cen-tre, Watson (who played her college ball at the University of Washington) teamed with Lindsey Wilson (Iowa State), Casey Bunn (Oregon State)

and Amy Taylor (Seattle Pa-cifi c) to defend their Elite Divi-sion women’s championship featuring ex-WNA and U.S. NCAA stars.

Hoopfest is the largest out-door three-on-three basketball tournament in the world. This year there were over 27,000 participants, 4,300 teams, and 450 courts. Most of downtown streetsin Spokane were shut down to vehicle traffi c.

“We were there supporting Breanne but were just two of the 50,000 spectators,” laughed Watson’s dad, Brent.

“They were great games and Breanne’s team went unde-

feated in six games, winning the fi nal 20-17. All the games went to 20 points.”

Watson and her teammates defeated an all-Montana team in the fi nal that included a six-foot-four former NCAA All-american and professional player. The game drew more than 3,000 spectators.

Watson was named tour-nament, MVP of the tourna-ment.

After playing in the Dolphin Park Classic, Watson will re-join her three-on-three team in August in Los Angeles as they attempt to defend their LA Nike championship.

It promises to be a busy summer for several Rich-mond fi eld lacrosse play-ers, who will accompany their Burnaby Mountain elite development teams to several recruiting tour-naments.

Jon Bailey, Brad Hoff-mann, Nick Jensen, Josh Kelly, Dylan Miller, Cooper Yates and four members of the Sahota family—

Jonah, Mark, Matt and Parker, will play for their respective travel squads set to play in events in Colorado, Maryland and New York. During the tournament, players will also receive organized tours of NCAA Division 1 college campuses and enjoy local sites and at-tractions.

Co-head coach of the

Burnaby Mountain La-crosse Elite Development Program, Brent Hoskins (also co-head coach of the Simon Fraser Uni-versity men’s lacrosse team) said the goal of the program is to follow the same collegiate tem-plate as the Simon Fraser University men’s lacrosse program, with the objec-tive of best preparing

young student-athletes to play at the collegiate level.

The under-13 and un-der-15 elite teams kicked off the Selects’ 2011 sum-mer tournament sched-ule in Denver, Col. June 22 to 27, competing at the University of Denver Pioneers Team Camp. The four-day event featured a clinic attended by NCAA

coachesIn July, the junior Selects

will travel to Syracuse, New York, to compete at the Syracuse University Summer Shootout July 5 to 10. The Shootout is hosted by Orange head coach John Desko and the men’s lacrosse coaching staff of the 11-time NCAA national champion Syra-cuse University. The tour-

nament will provide elite teams from across North America with the oppor-tunity to compete in front of college coaches in at-tendance from many of the NCAA’s top lacrosse programs, said Hoskins.

Two weeks later, the senior elite team will conclude the 2011 sum-mer season with a trip to Baltimore, Mary-

land, compete in the nationally-renowned Champ Camp July 19 to 26. Teams are selected to compete by invitation only, with an emphasis on assembling the top high school aged club teams in North America. Burn-aby Mountain is the only program to be selected from Western Canada in tournament history.

Veteran Canadian rower Darcy Marquardt of Richmond was impressed with the quality of competition after two days of the Konin-klijke Hollard Beker near Amsterdam.

It was in this Netherlands city than sev-eral Canadian crews, including Marquardt’s women’s eight, looked strong as they gear up for the World Cup in Switzerland on July 8.

“The quality of our event made this a good benchmark to start our summer racing season,” said Marquardt, who is joined on this year’s eight by Lesley Thompson-Willie (London, Ont.), Ashley Brzozowicz (London, Ont.), Krista Guloien (Port Moody), Jan-ine Hanson (Winnipeg), Natalie Mastracci (Thorold, Ont.), Andreanne Morin (Montreal, Que.), Cristy Nurse (Georgetown, Ont.) and Rachelle Viinberg (Regina).

The Canadian women’s eight again fi nished second (6:11.99) to the Dutch (6:07.58). A British crew was off the pace in 06:28.90.

Dave Calder of Victoria and Scott Frandsen of Kelowna won the men’s pair event again today, in a time of 6:26.19 (2,000 metres). Dutch crews were second (6:31.19) and third (6:35.22) in this fi nal. Calder and Frandsen were on top of the podium yesterday as well.

“It was a great starting point and good to be back racing side by side; we know what we’re going to work on heading into the World Cup in Lucerne,” said Frandsen, 2008 Olympic silver medalist with Calder in the pair.

“Beijing was our last international race together, so we have high expectations on ourselves,” said Calder. “The reality is that

we have to take things one step at a time in order to slowly work our speed back to a high standard.” Last year, Calder rowed in the men’s eight, and Frandsen was not competing internationally.

“It was a fun racing atmosphere this week-end and served as a nice distraction during our acclimatization here in Europe,” said their coach, Terry Paul. “The real work is in the next two weeks in preparation for the World Cup.”

In the exciting men’s four fi nal today, Can-ada’s lightweight men’s four was a close second to a heavyweight crew from the Netherlands (05:53.87) in 05:54.58.

Canada’s men’s eight chose to remain in Canada this week, but will join the others leading up to the World Cup in Lucerne July 8.

Anthia Chen, a Grade 12 Steveston-London Secondary student, received a $1,000 scholarship award from Mayor Malcolm Brodie at city hall Monday for her winning design in the city’s 2041 offi cial community plan student art con-test. Chen’s artwork will be used on the cover of the planning document, ex-pected to be completed next year. Anna Toth, a Grade 11 J.N. Burnett Secondary student, won a $500 second-place prize for her artwork, which will be included inside the document.

Riley Turner (centre) will entertain the crowds at the 2011 Steveston Salmon Festival Canada Day Parade from a boat built in Richmond by his grandfather Dan Parker. For the third year in a row, Riley and other members of Parker’s family will try to catch “the big one” (a giant stuffed fi sh) from a Monaro brand boat during the parade. Monaro Marine is celebrating 35 years of building cus-tom power boats.

Last week’s River Green on the Green golf tour-nament raised nearly $100,000 for the Rich-mond Hospital Founda-tion. The sold-out June 23 event, at QGolf Club, benefi ted the founda-tion’s $1.5 million oper-ating room campaign. It will purchase sophisti-cated new cutting-edge surgery equipment. The highlight of the evening was the Helicopter Golf Ball Drop. Participants watched from the club-house deck as a heli-copter fl ew over the 9th hole to drop 1,500 golf balls from the sky.

The Richmond Chamber of Commerce golf tournament winners received the Da-vid Reid Memorial Trophy presented by Reid Hurst Nagy Inc. Front row, left to right: John Nagy, Melissa Mc Taggart, Bruce Hurst, Jamie Baxter, Matt Ayre. Back row: Mike Smedstad. The tournament was held at Richmond Country Club.
