Celebration of life for Milan Ilich to be held July 22by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

A celebration of the life of Richmond philan-thropist and developer Milan Ilich has been scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Friday, July 22 at the Richmond Funeral Home, 8420 Cambie Rd.

•Ilich helped family through tough time, p. 10

Ilich died June 29 follow-ing a 14-month battle with AML Leukemia, a rapidly progressing form of cancer of the blood cells, according to an obituary placed by his family.

“They gave him weeks, he was not ready, so he took 14 months,” the obituary reads. “He was a champion to those in need, who not only gave back, but also inspired others to do the same.”

Ilich was born Aug. 19, 1934 in Anyox, B.C., but moved to Richmond early on. 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 Richmond and elsewhere.

“His love for family, and business as well as his commitment to his community was so deep, and complete that no one could con-vince him that there was anywhere in the world that compared to his beloved home town of Richmond,” his obituary reads.

“From humble days of pumping gas, and driving a dump truck, Dad was driven to pro-vide and succeed. Business taught him the value of a dollar and forgiveness, and family taught him about love and compassion...and at times patience.”

Ilich is survived by his wife Maureen, chil-dren Laurie and Rick, five grandchildren, and seven siblings.

From Page 1In lieu of fl owers, the Ilich family had

made a request: “The family would appreciate that you take this time of sorrow to follow Milan’s example, and to do something good for those in need, by donating to the VGH Hospital Foundation, Leukemia/BMT Program...or by donating blood to the Canadian Blood Services in his memory.”

In recent years, Ilich has become known more for his charitable con-

tributions through the Milan and Maureen Ilich Foundation, which contributed half the $4-million needed to bring an MRI machine to Richmond Hospital.

“Milan’s dedication to the commu-nity, philanthropic efforts and gen-eral willingness to help others will be missed by everyone that had the pleasure of meeting him,” said Bill Jaffe, chair of the Richmond Hospital Foundation.

Mark Patrick says humble Ilich shunned spotlight, simply wanted to make community a better place

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

Retired Review photographer Mark Patrick remembered local philanthropist and developer Milan Ilich with great fondness.

Patrick got to know Ilich—who passed away last Wednesday after a prolonged illness—through many chance encounters in the commu-nity over the decades.

But one memory of Ilich stood out for Patrick, and was genuinely refl ective of the type of man he was, he said.

It was at the 2006 funeral of long-time local mayor Gil Blair.

Instead of taking a seat of promi-nence alongside politicians and dignitaries at the front of the funer-al hall, Ilich quietly seated himself in the very last pew.

“It was just to be there, not to be seen there, just to be there,” Patrick said Monday. “That was just Milan, how he presented him-self.”

Ilich long shunned the media spotlight, and reluctantly posed for photographs.

One day, during a chat, Ilich ex-plained to Patrick why that was.

“The one thing he told me was this. When people see his name, no matter what, he got other phone calls from people asking for him to help them out.”

“’As much as I want to help ev-erybody out, you can’t. You have to draw the line,’” Ilich said, accord-ing to Patrick. “That’s why he didn’t want his name in lights. It was just

about doing the best he could with the least amount of hassle.”

Patrick recalled meeting Ilich during the early part of Patrick’s career, which started on Oct. 1, 1981.

A popular gathering spot in those days for breakfast and lunch was Al Solloway’s coffee shop at Times Square, across from Richmond Centre.

“Everybody and their dog would show up there,” Patrick said, recall-ing how fi refi ghters and city work-ers, among others, frequented the shop.

Ilich would pop in every couple of months or so, wearing a suit and a white shirt with an open collar.

“Everybody knew him,” Patrick said. And Ilich was always friendly, extending a friendly greeting and a warm smile, he added.

During the mid-1980s, both Ilich and Patrick frequented the Keg boathouse for lunch.

Patrick went so often that a brass plaque with his name on it was set into one of the tables, a fact that didn’t escape Ilich’s eye.

“He said ‘I come here as much as you do,’” Patrick chuckled. “I still don’t know if he ever got his brass plaque, but he was deserv-ing of it.”

Patrick described Ilich as a hum-ble, friendly man who cared about the community around him.

“He really liked people. He want-ed to give back to the community, no matter what it was.”

Ilich was also a friend of The Rich-mond Review on at least one par-ticular occasion, Patrick recalled.

The Review needed to take aerial photos of Richmond for some rea-son, and then-publisher Murray Poskitt dialed up Ilich for help.

Ilich was more than happy to ac-commodate, and before Patrick knew it, he was taking off from a helicopter pad east of Lansdowne Centre and soaring above the fer-tile fi elds of Richmond.

“He didn’t even ask for a dollar.

All he wanted was a few prints,” Patrick said.

“That was just Milan being Milan for The Richmond Review.”

Rather than just throwing around money, Ilich supported issues dear to his heart, Patrick said.

When he saw the manner in which older people were cared for in extended care facilities in Richmond, Ilich stepped forward to do something about it.

“He wanted to make rooms brighter, bigger, more friendly. He strove to improve things. That’s why I think he donated to things...being able to help people who couldn’t help themselves.”

Then there was the time Ilich perched himself in a bus seat be-side Patrick.

“He said, ‘I’d really like to go down to Vegas with you. We’d have a great time.”

Patrick replied that he didn’t gamble, and as it turned out, nei-ther did Ilich.

“But it would be fun,” Ilich smiled.

Retired Richmond Review photog-rapher Mark Patrick remembers Milan Ilich as a man who loved people, but not the limelight.

District will continue to monitor research


The majority of current scientific evidence indicates there’s no health concerns related to the use of WiFi in schools, a Richmond Board of Education safety committee has concluded.

But the Richmond school district will continue to request regular re-search updates from the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority and Health Canada, and will monitor any fu-ture scientific developments into whether low-energy radio signals can harmful to human health.

Board chair Donna Sargent said that the safety committee, includ-ing Richmond chief medical health

officer Dr. James Lu, has been scru-tinizing the issue for the past two months.

Sargent said the board will contin-ue to rely on the expertise offered by Dr. Lu, and other provincial and national health agencies, to remain on top of the issue.

As it stands, trustees feel con-fident that students are safe in schools connected with WiFi sys-tems.

But in the hope of better informing parents about the WiFi debate and concerns, a brochure will be handed out to parents, letting them know what the board has decided and how it reached that conclusion.

Sargent said there’s a huge pile of information online about WiFi, but not all of the research has been substantiated.

“We needed some sort of filtering system,” Sargent said, noting that trustees aren’t scientists and so turned to individuals with relevant expertise that enabled them to sort out fact from fiction.

Ilich remembered for his generosity

Leaseholders take fight against $10 million leaky condo repair bill to court


The courts have brought some temporary peace-of-mind to more than 100 residents of Sussex Square, who no longer are facing eviction as they battle a $10 million leaky condo repair bill.

Lawyer Robert Jenkins, who is rep-resenting a large group of 99-year leaseholders in the condo complex near Railway and Granville avenues, said court action was commenced last year because landlords Westsea Construction and Capital Construc-tion Supplies were threatening to terminate the leases and kick every-one out who didn’t pay their unit’s share of the repair bill.

At issue is whether the leasehold-ers are responsible for the repairs, or whether Westsea and Capital,

which own the complex and have been managing and maintaining it for decades, is culpable.

Jenkins said he’s unaware of any similar cases anywhere in Canada. What’s unique in this case is that the residents are battling against the landlord to avoid a massive assess-ment—rather than a strata-owned condo seeking financial compen-sation from a developer, architect or construction company to pay for repairs. The complex, comprising six three-storey apartment build-ings, is currently surrounded by scaffolding and tarps and millions of dollars in repairs have already been completed.

“The plaintiff leaseholders...have refused to pay the assessment. They take the position that owing to the negligent design, construction and failure to maintain the buildings, they are not obliged to pay the spe-cial assessment. They take this posi-tion even though the buildings were designed and constructed more than 30 years ago,” according to a B.C. Supreme Court decision related to the case last month.

The case isn’t likely to get to trial until 2012.

8th Annual FRASER RIVER

Summer is a fantastic time of year for students. Sleeping in, extended bedtimes, no homework - it’s a break from the regular routine. There’s that old saying: No more school, no more books... well, you know the rest. Seema Ahluwalia of Oxford Learning Centre believes it’s time to rethink that saying, especially the “no more books” part.

Did you know that students who take a complete break from learning during the summer months could potentially lose up to 40% of their learning momentum? Research has proven this time and again. That’s why it’s so important to include education in your summer plans.

During the past school year, did your child encounter any academic obstacles? If so, then summer is the perfect time to not only catch-up in those problem areas, but also to get ahead. Don’t exclude summer school from your summer planning because of any negative preconceptions you may have; summer school is an opportunity, not an obstacle. It offers a less strenuous learning environment and allows your child can get the individual attention that he or she may not get throughout the school year.

Summer is an open expanse of time that’s perfect for working on trouble areas, catching up,

getting ahead, and building strong learning skills. When students keep learning all summer long, they are more than ready to learn when school begins again.

Oxford Learning Centre has individualized summer programs for reading, writing, math, French, SAT preparation and study skills that help kids develop new thinking and learning habits while reinforcing and building existing academic skills. Their Little Readers program also runs throughout the summer and helps kids from age 3 to 6 to prepare for Kindergarten by teaching them reading and writing skills.

Oxford offers a variety of fun-fi lled academic summer camps to suit every family’s needs. They have a choice of hourly, half-day and full-day programs that are all tailored to your child’s needs. Their fl exible schedule also allows you to make time for outdoor camps and family vacations while ensuring that your child stays sharp all summer.

Parents can contact Oxford Learning Centre at 604- 233-5566 for more information. They can also visit their offi ce at 200 - 7380 Westminster Hwy (near Minoru Blvd) for wonderful tips and programs to help their kids get organized.

Doubts linger over province’s pledge to restore cut hours

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

The provincial government had ad-vance warning from a senior offi cial several weeks ago that cuts to the number of sheriffs guarding court houses could spark trouble in the justice system.

In a May 31 letter to B.C.’s chief jus-tices, copied to the deputy Attorney General, Assistant Deputy Minister Rob Wood noted full-time staff lev-els in the court services branch had already been cut nine per cent since 2008/09.

“These fi scal changes have made it progressively more diffi cult to main-tain operational service levels in both court security and court administra-tion,” Wood said.

Deeper cuts took effect at the be-ginning of June and Wood’s letter set out minimum service levels for court registries and sheriffs, including a system of roving sheriffs to spread staff further.

Wood’s letter indicated the number of court clerks has also been cut and the ministry would respond by reas-signing court registry staff to act as clerks as needed.

He cautioned those levels would not be sustainable for long.

Wood also noted it would be up to judges to gauge the security risk and decide if they can operate without a

dedicated sheriff using the rover system.

“The safety of all court participants is of paramount concern,” he said.

“We will do everything we can, in consultation with the judiciary, to ensure the most important matters go forward and that the safety and secu-rity of the courts and court users is maintained.”

The elimination of the equivalent of 34 full-time deputy sheriffs caused delays in several trials last month when some judges refused to let their trials proceed without a sheriff present.

By late June, Attorney General Barry Penner—after hearing direct-ly from judges about their security concerns—pledged to reverse the cuts to sheriffs’ hours.

But the cut hours have not been permanently restored and are only being scheduled a week at a time so far, said Dean Purdy, spokesman for the union representing sheriffs.

“We’re concerned that they’re so keyed into the budgetary side of things they’re going to let the court

system slide rather than truly fund the system,” he said.

Purdy said two of the most senior managers in the sys-tem are currently fi lling in for sheriffs in Victoria because of the lack of deputy sheriffs.

“You can’t do justice on the cheap,” he said, adding the province needs to hire more sheriffs to reverse some of the loss of more than 100

positions in recent years.The NDP lashed the province for

allowing “chaos” in the courts to con-tinue and failing to fi nd a permanent solution.

“It appears that when making this announcement, the Liberals were pri-marily interested in temporary dam-age control, not returning security to our courts so they can function again,” NDP Attorney General critic Leonard Krog said.

Penner said he doesn’t want the shortage of sheriffs to result in trial delays and added his ministry is working to fi nd more money to sup-port staffi ng levels on an ongoing basis.

He said the auxiliary and part-time sheriffs whose hours were cut had always been called out as required.

“They will be utilized as required,” Penner said. “The safety and security of our courthouses and the people in them remains our paramount objec-tive.”

He said most government ministries remain under pressure to cut costs and streamline processes as a result of health and education spending that has risen faster than government revenues.

Province warned sheriff cuts could hinder courts

The following bylaw will be considered for adoption by City Council on July 11, 2011:City Centre Area Transitional Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 8776Pursuant to the Municipalities Enabling And Validating Act (No. 4) (Bill 15) and Section 227 of the Community Charter, public notice is being provided that Richmond City Council will consider adoption of the City Centre Area Transitional Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 8776 (“Bylaw 8776”) at the July 11, 2011 Council meeting.

Commercial and light industrial properties in the City Centre area have experienced substantial increases in property taxes since 2005 due to various factors, including changes to the Richmond Official Community Plan to permit high density mixed-use developments in the area, construction of the Canada Line, rapid redevelopment in the area, and demand causing significant increases to the fair market and assessment values of properties in the area. The purpose of Bylaw 8776 is to protect jobs and businesses in the City Centre area during the transition of the area from primarily commercial and light industrial to high density mixed-use by providing temporary partial tax exemptions to eligible properties located within the City Centre Area Plan (“CCAP”) area, as specified in the Richmond Official Community Plan Bylaw 7100 Amendment Bylaw 8383, Schedule 2.10 – City Centre Area Plan.

All properties that satisfy the following criteria and conditions will be eligible for the exemption:a) the property is located within the CCAP area;b) the property is classified only as Class 5 or 6 under the Assessment Act;c) the property’s assessed land value (not including improvements) has increased

by 100 per cent or more between the 2005 and 2011 revised assessment rolls;d) the municipal taxes for the property has increased by more than $30,000

between the 2005 and 2011 taxation years;e) the property contains improvements, as determined by the BC Assessment

Authority;f) the property is not a strata lot;g) the property contains at least one business that holds a valid City business

licence;h) the owner of the property has entered into an exemption agreement with the

City; andi) the property has been issued an exemption certificate.

Diyan Achjadi, Convergence – Aberdeen Canada Line Station


You can imagine Pranjal Kathari’s heartbreak.

Just one day after receiving a gleam-ing new mountain bike, the 14-year-old found that it had been stolen from the family’s backyard in Burkeville.

Investigators had little to go on, but went back to the well, so to speak, searching for answers.

Investigators from the Richmond RC-MP’s property crime unit were brought in and learned that a prolific offender had been released from custody just days earlier.

The offender’s whereabouts lead-ing up to the arrest were determined, and the mountain bike was recovered in the offender’s known stomping grounds.

So, just six days after his bike was stolen, Kathari was reunited with it.

There were high hopes and harsh words in

2000 when the pro-vincial and federal governments signed Canada’s first mod-ern-day treaty with the Nisga’a people of northwestern B.C.

The four villages are now governed by the Nisga’a Lisims government, which holds broad author-ity transferred from the federal and provincial gov-ernments. While Canada’s fi nancial support continues to fl ow, the Nisga’a Nation is nearing the stage where it must begin to collect taxes and become self-sustaining.

A new study by the

Winnipeg-based Frontier Centre for Public Policy of-fers a unique look behind the scenes of this remote experiment. And judging by the hostile response of the Nisga’a government to the fi ndings, it may be the last one for some time.

Is the Nisga’a Nation ready to support itself? The short answer is no, ac-cording to polling data and extensive interviews with “key informants” who are not identifi ed.

Co-author Joseph Quesnel told me he interviewed 15 infl uential people, both supporters and critics of the treaty, since he fi rst visited the region last fall.

A larger phone survey by COMPAS Research found that more people trust the Nisga’a government compared to the old Indian Act regime. But divisions remain, particularly over giving up aboriginal tax exemptions.

Quesnel said he met people who have left the Nisga’a villages for nearby Tsimshian communities, before sales and income taxes take effect in 2013.

According to the study, a culture of dependency that

grew up during a century of colonial-style rule remains pervasive. The authors report many of the same problems that plague In-dian Act reserves, such as willful damage to housing, accusations of nepotism and failed business invest-ment.

“More than one key informant observed that old attitudes and men-talities persist regarding public services,” the report states. “Expectations at the local level that the village government will provide everything are still rampant.”

Quesnel said the Nisga’a Nation’s recent move to allow fee-simple ownership of municipal-style lots is a key step towards self-suf-fi ciency. But the land title system is still in develop-ment and it’s too soon to see results.

The study notes that economic conditions in Nisga’a territory have become worse since the treaty. Quesnel agreed with my suggestion that this has more to do with the decline of forestry and fi shing than any failure of governance.

Nisga’a Lisims President

Mitchell Stevens issued a statement rejecting the report’s fi ndings, citing two factual errors and denying that he had participated.

Quesnel, a Quebec Metis with a background in journalism, said he was welcomed on his initial visit and was even invited to attend a Nisga’a Lisims executive meeting. But he said Stevens and other offi -cials “stopped responding” as the project progressed.

In his statement, Ste-vens described the code of conduct for Nisga’a offi cials and the complaint process people can use to

hold them accountable for decisions. The president dismissed the “colourful commentary” of a few “key informants” who didn’t expect to be quoted.

Quesnel says that despite the slow progress, he remains convinced the Nisga’a treaty is a positive step. Now investors have only one government to deal with, and the region has electricity, mining and gas development on the drawing board.

And there are lessons to be learned by other aborig-inal communities, such as tackling dependency and addiction problems before a treaty is signed, and bringing in outside experts to set up businesses.

“Mitchell Stevens, when I spoke to him, was opti-mistic about the ability to reduce transfers, even eliminate them,” Quesnel said. “Without fi nancial independence, I think political self-government is really an illusion. Ultimate-ly, you’re still dependent.”

We’ve heard of the politics of fear, but Premier Christy

Clark is quickly defining the politics of the fearful.

The politician-turned-talk-show-host-turned-politician con-tinues to avoid defending her political beliefs in public with yet another refusal to debate her opponent.

NDP Leader Adrian Dix chal-lenged Clark to a debate on the HST, a verbal tussle that would have been aired on Vancouver’s CKNW radio station. Clark de-clined the invitation.

The premier’s decision to avoid debating Dix follows her avoidance of speaking to the HST in the legislature when she invoked closure when it was her turn to speak to the issue.

And, of course, Clark refused to attend all-candidates meet-ings during the Vancouver-Point Grey byelection campaign that saw her barely defeat NDP can-didate David Eby.

It is clear Clark is afraid to back up her style with substance, but why? If Clark truly believes the HST is good for B.C. and crucial to the future of this province’s economy, wouldn’t she be salivating at the opportunity to discredit HST opponents like Dix? Heck, even the Green Party is supporting the HST.

In a statement in response to

Dix’s challenge, Clark said the NDP is trying to politicize the issue – presumably unlike Clark and the B.C. Liberals politicizing the issue by running information ads that

look and sound suspiciously like pro-HST promotional commercials.

Critics have long accused Clark of oozing style and possessing little substance.

The fact she appears to be running from every challenge does nothing to counter that criticism.

1 HOUR BODY MASSAGE Editor:

After having read Arzeena Hamir’s article “Richmond’s dirty little secret” (July 1), I thought it was necessary to clarify a few things for Review read-ers in the case that any misunderstandings arise.

In running a farm one can pursue one of two options when raising an organic crop: having your customers trust that you follow organic practices or have yourself certifi ed by an external body. As is the case of more than a few farmers in Richmond, they simply guarantee to their customers that their product is organic. Many too tell their customers that their product is “not sprayed.” There are many people who do not lie about this and I fi rmly believe that we should trust them more than any certifi cation body, as many a longtime farming family has been instrumental in our community (think of Ralph Fisher Auditorium at the hospital, a good por-tion of his estate went to building that).

Just because we may not be certifi ed does not mean that every one of us coats our products in chemicals when no one is looking. Anyone who assumes such really needs to reassess their view on humanity.

Of course there are also people who misinform their customers to get a better price for their product or a greater volume of customers,

but this is the case with every single industry that exists. Although it doesn’t legitimize the practice, the main reasoning for this is because of low food prices brought on by free-trade agreements. The politics of food is quite complex and is beyond the scope of an editorial, but our main problem as farmers in the Lower Mainland (besides land prices) is competition primarily from Californian produce, which is far more detrimental to the environ-ment, farm workers, etc., than crops raised here.

The Californian grower has many advantages over the local grower fi nan-cially such as market size, cheaper land and a much longer growing season. The consumer gets used to the prices of cheap produce and then expects us to supply them with our products at the same price if not lower! This very unequal playing fi eld is destined to create decep-tion so I think that fl ogging the effect rather than the cause is misguided especially when those who blatantly misinform the public give a bad name to those of us who do not.

Then there’s the second option: certifi cation. Inputs that are allowed on a certifi ed organic farm vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and there is really no agreement as to what “organic” really means—certain people say that streptomycin, an antibiotic, is suitable

for organic growing. Any agro-company that wishes to have their product be deemed “organic” has to jump through numerous hoops, which verge on ridiculous at times, thus causing most certifi ed inputs to be very hard and expensive to obtain. Thus, it’s little wonder that there are no certifi ed organic farms in Richmond: certifi cation benefi ts large American farms the most,

and our individual farms are tiny. One also has to question the chance of chemical contamination of products that are certifi ed.

There are numerous pitfalls with both ways of marketing organic/no-spray produce. I hope that this illustrates why I believe that everyone is far better off building a rela-tionship with a local farmer who you can come to trust than relying on a label that

has quite frankly lost its former innocence, as many longtime farming families grow the best possible food that we possibly can.

As with any business, the only possible way that you can be rest assured that you’re buying a solid product is to do more than maintain a passive rela-tionship with the person who produced it!

Editor:I never got to meet Milan Ilich but

he touched my life in such a way that I will never forget him.

In January 2008 my husband, Mark, died suddenly and totally un-expectedly of heart failure. He was 36 years old. I was a stay-at-home mom with two young children to look after. Mr. Ilich heard about my husband’s death through members of the community and although he had never met us, he reached out to my family in such a way that I will be forever grateful.

After almost four years I still fi nd it hard to put into words the gratitude I feel towards Mr. Ilich. Through his generosity and absolute compas-sion for my family and the situation

we were in, he gave us the biggest gift he could ever give and that was time. That was the most precious thing he could have done. He gave us time to grieve for the loss of my husband. He gave me time to spend with my children without having all the day-to-day fi nancial pressures getting in the way.

He allowed us to spend time with Mark’s family in England so we could all try to come to terms with his death.

I have since heard over the years other people’s stories about how Mr. Ilich had touched their lives from his employees to members of our community, to families throughout B.C. in similar diffi cult situations. It shows you what a

tremendously giving and kind person he was. He never asked for acknowledgement—he just wanted to help others.

I wish the Ilich family all the best and hope their memories of him bring them some happiness at this diffi cult time. He was truly loved and respected by so many people whose lives he touched.

To Milan—I want him to know that my family is doing well now and for that I can only thank him from the bottom of my heart. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about what he did for us.

You were truly a remarkable man, and I will never forget you.

TTOOPP 77 HHSSTT MMYYTTHHSS

The BC Liberal “myths” about the HST just keep piling up. Following is their latest Top Seven – all new

and misleading as ever – HST Myths:

1. The HST is now 10% - False The HST is 12% and will not be 10% for three years – if ever. There will be an election before that, and even if the HST were to miraculously drop to 10% - it will still apply to hundreds more goods and services than a 12% PST/GST for a total tax increase to consumers of $1.6B per year. And who says it won’t go right back up again later?

2. The HST will lower taxes – False This one is hilarious. The HST increases taxes for British Columbians by $2.8 Billion per year. That’s an average annual increase of $500 per person - or $1208 per average family – forever. Finance Minister Falcon says if his side loses he may disregard the result and expand the PST to items previously exempt – which would be illegal. Do you really trust this guy to cut the rate if he wins?

3. The HST will save you money - False And the tooth fairy is going to leave you a quarter under your pillow too. To get their numbers to show the HST actually “saving” you money they are calculating only “routine purchases” and that 90% of what you pay in HST will be passed back to you in lower prices. Have you seen lower prices?... We didn’t think so.

4. The HST benefits seniors - False Seniors and people on fixed incomes are some of the hardest hit by the HST. A one time rebate of $175 if you vote in favour of their tax in exchange for paying it for the rest of your life is a deal only a snake oil salesman would offer. Why take $175 when you can vote to cancel the HST and keep all your money? How dumb do they think we are?

5. The HST benefits families – False Next to seniors, working families are hardest hit by the HST because they are among the largest consumers and have dependent children. Bribes of $175 per child when your cost is closer to $400 a year each makes you wonder if they think all of us failed math as badly as they did. And what about a single mom with two kids going to college? She gets nothing while the Premier and Finance Minister who earn big six figure salaries get the rebate. Nice.

6. Business will pay more so you pay less - False A temporary increase of 2% in corporate taxes will be passed on to consumers with increased prices. Either way you pay the final bill whether it’s in HST or higher prices.

7. We’ll owe $1.6 Billion if we cancel the HST - False The “Independent Panel” says the HST generated $850 million more than budgeted. Setting aside that is the biggest tax grab in BC history, it means government already has $850 million to repay Ottawa. BC has only received $1B, and Ottawa collected $300M more in corporate taxes under HST than under PST. So it’s a wash. And keeping the HST would cost British Columbians alot more than killing it – over $28 Billion in new taxes in just 10 years.

Vote YES to extinguish the HST and save your province, your democracy, and your money!

Editor:Thank you Arzeena Hamir (“Richmond’s

dirty little secret,” July 1) for fi nally exposing the dirty practices of some local farmers.

I am so tired of seeing the signs for “no spray strawberries” or “pesticide-free berries” on signs and advertising for local berry farms only to fi nd out (upon questioning) that all local farmers use fun-gicides and/or herbicides on their plants (just before they berry-up). Although this may be slightly better than berries that are sprayed every few days (and even on the day of harvest), we should really call it what it is—false advertising.

Most people assume those signs mean that local growers are growing berries naturally and without chemicals, which is far from the truth. If you are a farmer that uses chemicals, then please don’t

make false claims. People pay a premium for truly pesticide-free, organically-grown berries and it is not fair to consumers to mislead them.

As a parent of young children, with a his-tory of cancer in our family, I choose to buy organic. As someone who is concerned about the plight of birds and bees and our natural environment, I choose organic.

I wish local farmers would realize that people are willing to pay a premium for berries and other foods that do not harm our children and our natural environment.

Consumers should be asking their local farmers what they are using on their berries. By asking, it means that you are concerned and that you want to see change and it shows farmers that people want to be better informed about how their food is grown.

The Best of Both Worlds!Fish and Chips and Indian Food may at fi rst seem like an

unlikely combination.But when you discover that the fi sh and chips are the

perfection of the art—fresh, hot, crispy and NOT GREASY—and the Indian food is arguably the best in Richmond. Wow! Now that is a great idea!

Pam took over Pisces Fish & Chips in 2008, and her results speak volumes. Her restaurant earned top-three votes in three Best of Richmond categories: Best Fish & Chips, Best Curry and Best Restaurant.

Pisces has become a casual restaurant summer must.Dine in or beat the summer heat and take out.The halibut and chips really are particularly outstanding

and will be appreciated by the most discerning Fish and Chips connoisseur. Fork-tender and tasty with a batter that is so crispy it crackles. The chips are great too and this is probably a testament to the fact that all frying at Pisces is done with 100 per cent vegetable shortening.

Snack on tasty pakora, samosa and tikki appetizers so perfectly seasoned that you’ll order them again and again.

If Indian food is your passion, be sure to try the new All -You-Can-Eat Indian Dine-in Buffet featuring Pisces’ famous Butter Chicken and much more. Monday to Friday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Friendly staff, attentive service, and great dishes.Located at 115—3675 Westminster Hwy.

Red Hot Selectsrefuse to loseUndefeated this season, Richmond U16 girls’ socccer team adds Provincial A Cup

by Don FennellSports Editor

Richmond Red Hot Selects went into every game this season with a simple, but heartfelt motto: refuse to lose.

Now, they’re B.C. champions.“We’re all contributors here,”

a physically-exhausted Alyssa Graeme said Saturday, taking a moment to soak up the team’s 4-0 victory over the Interior champion Prince George Kodiaks in the Pro-vincial A Cup under-16 girls’ soccer fi nal at Hugh Boyd Park.

“All of of us have been so commit-ted, dropping others plans when needed for the team. We’ve wanted this so bad. It’s so amazing.”

After a two-month layoff follow-ing a 3-2 win on penalty kicks over

longtime rival Semiahmoo Thunder in the Coastal Cup fi nal in May, the Selects were predictably sluggish

early in their match against the Kodiaks.

For 50 years, BC Hydro has been providing clean, reliable electricity to you. Today we are planning for the next 50 years by investing in new projects, upgrading existing facilities and working with you to conserve energy through Power Smart.

WE’LL BE IN RICHMONDTO EXCHANGE YOUR OLD METER WITH A NEW SMART METER.

2939

BC Hydro will begin upgrading homes and businesses with new smart meters. Moving to a more efficient, modernized grid will create immediate savings for you, and it will help us all enjoy safe, reliable, and more affordable power for decades to come.

Here’s what you can expect:

Typically, meter installation will take place Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. PST.

Meter installers will have BC Hydro and Corix logos on their trucks and uniforms, and photo identification badges.

You don’t need to be home, as long as we have safe and clear access to your meter – please remove any physical modifications that prevent a meter exchange.

In most cases, the exchange will take less than 10 minutes.

You will experience a brief power interruption, in most cases it will last 60 seconds.

But while they failed to show the take-charge attitude that epitomized the 27-0 team, and often appeared to be on their heels in the opening half, it didn’t take long for their superior talent to show. Summer Clarke scored two of her three goals on the Selects’ fi rst two shots.

“We came out a little slow in the fi rst half, but in the second were mak-ing a lot better passes,” said Clarke, who was se-lected the most valuable player of the match.

Amrit Berar, who capped the Rich-mond scoring with the prettiest goal of the game, splitting the Prince George defence and beat-ing the keeper one-on-one, wasn’t surprised the Selects found a way to get the job done.

“The girls really wanted this,” she said. “We were not going to step back

and let others take it from us. Now our expectation is to go to nationals (in Lethbridge in October) and do the same.”

The consistent hard work between matches throughout the season

prepared the Selects for their provincial champi-onship, said coach Clive Clarke.

“The sign of a good team is even though things are not going well it still fi nds a way to win, even when its rhythm is off” he said. “All the girls bought in and matured so much this year. I’m so proud of them.”

National title next goal for Red Hot Selects

- Richmond Review Wednesday, July 6, 2011

On June 29, 2011, after a courageous battle with AML Leukemia, Milan Ilich, President and Owner of Progressive Construction sadly passed away at 76 years old. They gave him weeks, he was not ready, so he took 14 months. As a great husband, father, grandfather (Dabby), brother, business man and philanthropist, Dad will be so missed by us all. He was a champion to those in need, who not only gave back, but also inspired others to do the same. He was a proud recipient of the Order of BC award for his philanthropist efforts.

From humble beginnings, his Yugoslavian parents worked hard to care for their 10 children. Dad was born in Anyox , BC on August 19, 1934, and then moved to Richmond where he lived the rest of his life. His love for family, and business as well as his commitment to his community was so deep, and complete that no one could convince him that there was anywhere in the world that compared to his beloved home town of Richmond. From humble days of pumping gas, and driving a dump truck, Dad was driven to provide and succeed. Business taught him the value of a dollar and forgiveness, and family taught him about love and compassion...and at times patience. Dad is survived by Maureen, his beautiful wife in both spirit and grace; his kids, Laurie (Barry), and Rick (Lauren); his grandchildren, Ashley (Marty), Chelsea, Tanner, Ryder and Mackay, and his siblings, Millie, Rose, Olga, Mirko ( Joan), Milo, Danny, and Bobby. He was preceded by two siblings, Tommy and Maria.

We can not express enough how much Dad, and our family does appreciate the professionalism, and compassion that was present every day that was spent in the Outpatient Daycare Unit of the Leukemia/Bone Marrow Transplant Program at VGH. As well as to Dr. Lesley Brown, our family doctor and the nurses and care givers at both Coastal Health, and Nurses Next Door who took such good care of Dad at home. You are all so kind, and respectful to those who are most vulnerable. We will never forget you.

Please join us in celebrating Milan’s life at the Richmond Funeral Home (8420 Cambie Road Richmond, BC) on Friday July 22,2011, at 1:30 pm. The family would appreciate that you take this time of sorrow to follow Milan’s example, and to do something good for those in need, by donating to the VGH Hospital Foundation, Leukemia/BMT Program, 855 West 12th Avenue, Vancouver BC, V5Z 1M9, or by donating blood to the Canadian Blood Services(1-888-236-6283) in his memory. No fl owers please.

Isles 95A showcase skills at PortlandFor three days each June, the

Valley Invitational Bantam Girls’ Fastpitch Tournament in Portland, Ore. offers players an opportunity to experience what playing university ball might be like.

But that’s on the fi rst day, which is devoted to a series of evaluations. Player register for various positional and athletic drills under the watch-ful eye of organizers and U.S. col-lege coaches.

Three members of the Richmond Islanders 95A, which teamed up to win the Silver Division over the remaining two days, have already been contacted by U.S. schools.

“The softball evaluations include hitting, fi elding and overhand throw speed,” said Islander coach Jack Hopwood. “Pitchers and catchers are measured on catch and release

times, blocking ability and fi elding bunts and pop-ups (for catchers) while pitchers face radar guns and movement detection devices de-signed to test the amount of spin rotation they are generating on their various ‘trick’ pitches. The camp was extremely well organized with over 600 potential university-bound softball players competing against each other (the vast majority from U.S. high schools) in the 15-18 year old bracket. Overall, our players ac-quitted themselves well with a high percentage showing of above aver-age skill and athleticism.”

The tournament format allowed teams to bat their roster in order to showcase everyone, and all the Sat-urday games encourage coaches to maximize substitutions in order to showcase a team’s entire roster.

U.S. university coaches receive ac-cess to the camp database Friday night in order to establish priori-ties and determine where they need to be to do game evaluations on those that they identifi ed from the camp.

The 95A Islanders played three games on Saturday against under-18 opponents (in the U.S., the second-year Bantam Islanders would be classifi ed as a fi rst-year under-16 team), losing all three by scores of 8-5, 15-3,and 10-6. Strangely enough, in each game, one inning proved to be their downfall.

After settling down, the Isles proved competitive and remarkably resilient on their way to winning the Silver Division title.

> Steveston Salmon Festival on Canada Day

Celebrating Canada Day in Steveston

The streets were taken over by a sea of red and white last Friday

during the Steveston Com-munity Society’s annual Steveston Salmon Festival.

Tens of thousands of people came out to Ste-veston dressed in their best Cana-dian gear including top hats, jerseys and giant flags that doubled as capes.

“Everybody was in a great mood, and everyone was having fun,” said Janice Froese, the ex-ecutive director of the Steveston Community Society.

A parade started off the day, with 100 entries representing businesses, groups and teams from all over the community.

“It’s about the diversity of the community,” said Froese of the floats selected to be in the parade.

The parade route ended near the Steveston Community Cen-tre, which was surrounded with live entertainment, games, food including barbequed salmon and information about local busi-nesses.

Inside the centre there was an art show and pie sale.

“I’m very happy with how the festival has gone,” Froese said.

The event allowed the society to not only celebrate Canada’s birthday, but to raise money to support the community.

Any surplus money from put-ting on the festival this year will go towards building an educational garden and to the fundraising efforts for tsunami-ravaged Onagawa, Japan.

On a Satur-day night, I head to

Steveston, more particularly I head down an alley in Steveston to Gudrun. I’m meet-ing friend Lynn and arrive first.

I take a seat at the bar beside Mas, a familiar face to anyone who hangs out in Steveston. He’s drinking an India Pale Ale (Gudrun has one of the best selections of beers and wines), so I order the same. We chat. I say hi to Bert, another familiar face in Steveston. I don’t think I’ve ever been to Gudrun and not known someone.

Meanwhile, I take a closer look at what’s considered the kitchen, behind the bar, in about as much space as a walk-in pantry. It starts with a fridge—behind the glass door I spy the Oyama dried and cured meats, bowls and containers of mushroom bisque, and more. On the counter: a double sink, cheese cutter, knives hang along the wall, a salad spinner, cutting board, meat slicer,

Panini machine, and an induction cooktop. Mason jars line the shelves, filled with dried apple rings, apricots, beans, lentils, and other staples.

Flanked by the tools of her trade stands chef Allison Flook, dressed in a white shirt emblazoned with “Gudrun” and a headband circling her short blond hair. She’s plating salads with her finds from Granville Island public market: fingerling potatoes and arugula (“because it looked so good”).

Then she turns her attention to building a cheese and charcuterie platter: Oyama cured meats, a selection of cheeses, olives, cornichons, pistachios, plums, quince paste, mustard. Thinly sliced sfilatino (an Italian wet bread baquette) lines a basket.

Allison, formerly of Havana Café, Alibi Room, and Lolita’s, turns to the slicer, then to the sizzling Oyama bacon (for the salad of the day). She’s mastered the art of cooking in small places. I’m reminded of a ship’s galley, everything organized and within reach.

Lynn arrives. “Do you have low-fat cheese?”

Allison doubles over with laughter. She suggests Shropshire Blue as she pours melted cheese into a fondue pot.

We order Allison’s famous veal sliders, topped with blue cheese, her house-

made onion jam and watercress. We order a second round of sliders.

Gudrun is a Best of Richmond favouriteFrom Page B1

Gudrun, named after a Norwegian woman who owner Patrick Tubajon (Steveston grad 1985) met in France 20 years ago (she showed him that cheese was more than a Kraft single), has won several awards since opening in late 2008. In 2009 the tasting room won the Golden Plate award for best new restaurant in the suburb. More recently, Richmond readers voted Gudrun as one of the best for beer selection, wine selection, lounge, and for a first date in the Best of Richmond issue.

Thanks to Allison who uses the freshest ingredients, talks to the farmers and fishermen, and every day tells Patrick what to write on the giant chalkboard.

As Lynn and I finish our sliders, we watch Allison plate milk and dark chocolate mousse with cinder toffee, then a vanilla panna cotta with mango and blackberry. More charcuterie and cheese platters, more fondue, more salads. Jazz plays. The communal table is full—a birthday party. Allison, cool and calm, listens to our crazy conversation, and shakes her head. She doesn’t stop, hands in motion from knife to pan to plate.

On a Satur-day night, I head to

Steveston, more particularly I head down an alley in Steveston to Gudrun. I’m meet-ing friend Lynn and arrive first.

I take a seat at the bar beside Mas, a familiar face to anyone who hangs out in Steveston. He’s drinking an India Pale Ale (Gudrun has one of the best selections of beers and wines), so I order the same. We chat. I say hi to Bert, another familiar face in Steveston. I don’t think I’ve ever been to Gudrun and not known someone.

Meanwhile, I take a closer look at what’s considered the kitchen, behind the bar, in about as much space as a walk-in pantry. It starts with a fridge—behind the glass door I spy the Oyama dried and cured meats, bowls and containers of mushroom bisque, and more. On the counter: a double sink, cheese cutter, knives hang along the wall, a salad spinner, cutting board, meat slicer,

Panini machine, and an induction cooktop. Mason jars line the shelves, filled with dried apple rings, apricots, beans, lentils, and other staples.

Flanked by the tools of her trade stands chef Allison Flook, dressed in a white shirt emblazoned with “Gudrun” and a headband circling her short blond hair. She’s plating salads with her finds from Granville Island public market: fingerling potatoes and arugula (“because it looked so good”).

Then she turns her attention to building a cheese and charcuterie platter: Oyama cured meats, a selection of cheeses, olives, cornichons, pistachios, plums, quince paste, mustard. Thinly sliced sfilatino (an Italian wet bread baquette) lines a basket.

Allison, formerly of Havana Café, Alibi Room, and Lolita’s, turns to the slicer, then to the sizzling Oyama bacon (for the salad of the day). She’s mastered the art of cooking in small places. I’m reminded of a ship’s galley, everything organized and within reach.

Lynn arrives. “Do you have low-fat cheese?”

Allison doubles over with laughter. She suggests Shropshire Blue as she pours melted cheese into a fondue pot.

We order Allison’s famous veal sliders, topped with blue cheese, her house-

made onion jam and watercress. We order a second round of sliders.
