Recovery home set to open despite neighbours’ protests
by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter
Turning Point Recovery Society is making a second attempt to open an addic-tions recovery house after neighbourhood opposition forced it to abandon plans on Ash Street.
The city has granted an 18-month lease to Turning Point for a women’s support recovery centre in a single-family home at 10191 No. 2 Rd., near London-Steveston Secondary. The facility will house up to 10 women and does not require public rezoning approval.
Kritesh Dewan has lived across from the Steveston home since 1999, and said the process hasn’t been transparent, noting few residents in the area were notified of Turning Point’s expected presence.
“It seems to me the city is not thinking of the best interests of the neighbour-hood,” he said.
Dewan said his neighbours have collected between 100 and 200 signatures oppos-ing the recovery home, not-ing there are fears of crime and declining property val-ues.
He said city officials haven’t communicated what potential impacts the recov-ery home could have on the neighbourhood.
“Without them being able to answer simple basic questions, why is this being approved?”

Police dog dies following crashby Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter
A police dog was killed following a two-vehicle crash involving an unmarked RCMP sports utility vehicle Tuesday morning.
Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said police were responding to a theft in progress in Steveston when the RCMP vehi-cle crossed the road as a result of a collision with another vehicle and slammed into a hydro pole.
While there were no serious injuries to any of the human occupants of the vehicles, police services dog Bo died at the scene as a result of his injuries.
Westminster Highway was shut down between No. 6 and No. 7 roads for several hours Tuesday morning following the 1:30 a.m. accident.
Police investigators were still at the crash site Tuesday morning, photographing a dark Chevrolet SUV that had slammed into a power pole, slicing it off at the base, and knocking
out power to a few dozen homes in the sur-rounding neighbourhood. Damage to the SUV was just behind the driver’s side door and took the form of a deep rounded crater that ran the entire height of the vehicle.
Police were also photographing a red Chevrolet Aveo sedan and had placed dozens of yellow markers on the road as they gath-ered evidence.
“There are no words to describe how upset-ting this is as we have lost a member of our police family,” Turley said.
“Police dogs receive regimental numbers just as every other sworn member of the RCMP and are heroes in every sense of the word. From finding missing children to locating discarded weapons at crime scenes to facing dangers head on to save the lives of their handlers. I don’t know how front line officers could do their jobs if it wasn’t for our police dogs.”
Bo was two years old and only eight months into his career following five months of intense training with his handlers at the RCMP’s train-ing facility in Innisfail, Alta.
Bo, a police services dog, died Tuesday morning.

Glenn ter Borg will soon join his wife in Brazil
by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter
Glenn ter Borg will be starting a new chapter in his life that will soon see him relocate to northern Brazil to join his wife Katia Gomes.
Theirs is a love story that spans two conti-nents, a relationship that was sparked online, blossomed in person, and ended in a life-long partnership when they were married in 2008.
But moving in with her means the 39-year-old longtime local will fi rst have to ensure a good friend is properly cared for.
Ter Borg is looking for a home for his cat Tenshi, and is hoping somebody in Richmond will step forward to provide his beloved pet with a good, loving and caring home.
The dwindling number of apartments in Rich-mond that permit pets has contributed to the Richmond Animal Protection Society’s ever-growing number of cats cast-off by families moving to town, he said.
Ter Borg doesn’t have the heart to relocate Tenshi, whom he’s had for four years, into a warehouse-like setting at the animal society.
But he’ll have to fi nd a home somewhere for Tenshi before the end of July, when ter Borg tem-porarily moves in with his mother in Kelowna until November, after which he’ll be taking off for Brazil and the northern city of Teresina.
Asked why he can’t bring Tenshi with him to South America, ter Borg said he doesn’t want to risk losing Tenshi during the gruelling 36 hour-long combination of fl ights, transfers and airport layovers between Vancouver and Brazil.
“If I were to lose him along the way, I’d feel so bad about it.”
Ter Borg would have liked to stay in Richmond, and had originally planned to bring his wife to live with him in Canada.
But because he remains unemployed, spon-soring her to come here has proven impos-sible.
“If she moved here, we’d both be unem-ployed.”
Ter Borg suffers from Friedreich’s ataxia, a de-generative neurological disorder, and since he’s confi ned to a wheelchair, he said he’s viewed by potential employers as being ineffi cient compared to someone unhampered by the malady.
However his wife Katia, despite having the same disorder, is fully-employed in Brazil, and so they’ve decided to live there instead.
Ter Borg is optimistic about his future job prospects.
He does architectural visualization—creating two-dimensional images of ar-chitectural designs—and there are only two other people in Teresina who do that. He said both are backlogged with work and
turning down contracts.The Lower Mainland, on the other hand, is
fl ooded with workers and the work is also be-ing outsourced to China, he said.
Ter Borg was diagnosed with Friedreich’s ataxia in 1996, and began to display symptoms as a teenager, when he had diffi culty walking to school. He’s now lost his ability to walk. His sister also has the genetic disorder and was diagnosed in 1999.
Ter Borg met Katia while chatting online in 2001, and they met in person about six months later, when he decided to go to Brazil.
“I really wanted to travel and she offered me a place to stay.”
Now the couple is having their two-bedroom home renovated to accommodate their wheel-chairs.
Anyone interested in adopting Tenshi is asked to e-mail Glenn at [email protected].
Aircraft noise shield nears completionby Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter
Civic politicians lauded the Vancouver Airport Authority’s ground run-up enclosure Mon-day as a point of victory in the war against aircraft noise.
“This will make a huge difference to people, for example, who live in the Terra Nova area,” said Coun. Sue Halsey-Brandt.
Construction began in April of a $12-million ground run-up enclosure for propeller-engine aircraft at South Terminal. The three-sided structure with no roof will stand 11 metres high and serve as a shield for noise caused by routine aircraft engine maintenance tests.
As many as 15 such tests are done each day, most done with propeller engines. Officials say noise levels will drop by 11 decibels—or 50 per cent—for residents who live south of Sea Island.
The building is scheduled to be completed in December, making YVR the only airport in Canada with such an enclosure.
Richmond’s two citizen representatives on the airport authority’s noise management committee—Haydn Acheson and Margot Spronk—called it “the most significant de-velopment” to report on in their first semi-annual status report to council.
Coun. Linda Barnes recently toured the construction site.
“We’re creating something new and it’s a very large part due to this committee and to our staff to continuing to let YVR know that their noise is not acceptable and they need to find ways in which to [control] that.”
A staff report considered Monday also not-ed progress on other noise issues identified by a city task force last year—including float plane operations.
By the city’s urging, airport staff analyzed how closely pilots followed recommended flight paths last summer. They found 98 per cent complied with the routes, but aircraft altitude wasn’t measured. According to a staff report, float plane operators have since pledged to undertake regular flight path training.
City staff also noted new restrictions on the use of reverse thrust on the south runway, something already in effect for the north runway.
Richmond residents lodged 196 noise com-plaints with the airport in 2010—about 16 per cent of all complaints in the region.
But resident Doug Louth, who has long called for restrictions on night flights, told council Monday he no longer bothers mak-ing complaints, and suggested there are others like him. According to city staff, the frequency of flights between midnight and 6 a.m. of both cargo and passenger aircraft haven’t changed in several years.
Martin van den Hemel photoGlenn ter Borg is hoping someone will adopt his cat Tenshi in the next couple of weeks be-fore he moves to Brazil.
Love story gets happy ending, but cat needs new home
From Page 1City spokesperson Ted Townsend
said 30 households were informed and invited to a meeting, where residents were provided informa-tion and a chance to offer opinions that have since been forwarded to city council and the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, which is the licensing authority.
Townsend said fear is typical in neighbourhoods slated for a recovery home, but noted his-
tory has shown that crime and dropping property values don’t materialize.
“The reality is those fears are unfounded. These types of facili-ties don’t create problems in neighbourhoods,” he said.
Townsend said there is a need for the facility in Richmond, which has substance abuse problems as any other city does, and the proposed recovery centre helps Richmond fulfill its objective of
providing a complete continuum of care.
“They’re most effective when they’re in the community and people are able to receive the treatment that they need within their own community,” he said.
The city bought the 22-year-old house in 2009 for $690,000, and spent $33,000 on repair and clos-ing costs. Turning Point will pay the city $2,200 per month under the lease agreement.
In 2007, Turning Point proposed a 40-bed recovery centre—later downsized to 32 beds—at 8180 Ash St. before the neighbourhood vociferously fought to quash it. As many as 17,000 names were collected for a petition against that project.
Turning Point currently operates a nine-bed addictions recovery home for men on Odlin Road.
Group homes with up to six beds don’t require rezoning or neigh-
bourhood notification, according to city rules developed by a task force a decade ago. Proposals for seven to 10 beds also don’t require rezoning, but city officials are required to notify neighbours within a five-house radius. A facil-ity over 10 beds requires rezoning with a full public hearing process.
Richmond has approximately 30 group homes, including Horizon House, a group home for the men-tally ill that opened in 2008.
History has shown recovery homes ‘don’t create problems in neighbourhoods’

Among proposals is hotel at edge of Richmond’s Eat Street
by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter
Proponents of a pair of new high-rise towers—including one hotel—will face a public hearing later this month.
On Monday, city council gave early approval to a 10-storey hotel at 8540 Alexandra Rd. and a 16-storey resi-dential tower at 9099 Cook Rd.
The hotel is a project of Home Run Developments Ltd., which has de-signed a 101-room hotel that would boast a penthouse restaurant, along with another eatery and bar at street level. The vacant property lies along Kwantlen Street, between Alexandra Road and Alderbridge Way.
High-rises aren’t unusual in the area. Three 16-storey high-rise tow-ers also front Kwantlen Street, just south of Alderbridge Way.
Staff say the development will
contribute to the urban design en-visioned in City Centre, boosting pedestrian-oriented character of the street and enhancing the local road network.
Director of development Brian Jack-son earlier told a council commit-tee that one-quarter of the site is dedicated to widening and extending area roads.
Plans surfaced for the project in 2007, but it was shelved due to “eco-nomic circumstances,” according to a staff report.
A few blocks away in the redeveloping McLennan neighbourhood,Concord Pacific Developments Inc. is planning a 142-unit residential tower at Cook and Garden City roads.
Besides the main tower, the project also includes a six-storey mid-rise building over a parking structure with 11 two-storey townhouse units at ground level.
To the north and south of the treed site are newer high-rise towers, in-cluding the four-tower complex of Hampton Park.
Applications for both projects will now go to a public hearing at city hall July 26 at 7 p.m.

The stuttering start to summer, with rain, clouds and sun appearing in equal yet inconsistent measure, has made for less-than-ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes.
While the high river levels and tides have left plenty of pools of stagnant water at Sturgeon Banks, the relative-ly cool weather has kept the buzzing itchy-pest population in check.
A team of six students—including fi ve-year veteran Jonathan Tsang and newcomer Tiana Gale—is hoping to keep it that way by taking a bite out of the mosquito population, one larvae-infested pond at a time.
Armed with a map of Richmond’s ditches and regular spots where mosquitoes breed, including Stur-geon Banks, the team looks for the wriggling larvae by sampling pond water, and sprinkling in a biological pesticide when it fi nds something.
On Tuesday morning, Tsang said the numbers outside the dyke, at the western end of Steveston Highway, were relatively low.
High temperatures tend to drive the numbers skyward, but so far it’s been a relatively cool summer with no complaints to the city.
Anywhere from zero to four larvae per dip of water is low, while 20 to 30 suggests an out-of-control problem. Tsang and Gale found some ponds outside the dyke had no larvae, while others had as many as fi ve per dip.
Dressed in rubber boots, wearing gloves, and protected by mosquito netting over their upper body and
face, Tsang and Gale used a biologi-cal pesticide known as Vectobac that specifi cally targets mosquito larvae and is harmless to fi sh, amphibians and other wildlife.
Dalton Cross, head of Richmond’s mosquito control program, said the tides make Sturgeon Bank a great place for mosquitoes to breed in the still salt-water-fi lled pools that remain when the tide recedes.
But mosquitoes aren’t fussy, and only need a calm body of water in order to multiply.
That means tires, frisbees, plant pots—wherever water tends to col-lect after a rainfall—help mosquitoes to fl ourish.
Since mosquitoes are relatively poor fl yers, they don’t stray far from where they were born, meaning if you’ve got a lot of mosquitoes bothering you at
home, chances are the source of the problem is somewhere in your yard, Cross said. High winds can carry mos-quitoes into surrounding areas, which can be the case in West Richmond, adjacent to the dyke.
Cross said the mosquito crew is aiming to hit all of Richmond’s system of dykes and other bodies of water as many as seven or eight times this summer. If the ditches are dry, it can take just over a week to cover Lulu Island.
Surveillance continues for the West Nile virus, which is carried by mosqui-toes which require two blood meals before breeding.
West Nile can result in no symptoms at all, but can also cause headaches, fevers and chills, while in the most serious of cases, can cause death through encephalitis.

More than half of all B.C. Provin-cial Court cases have been stuck in the system for at least a year and a growing number are at risk of being thrown out as a result.
Those are among the fi ndings of a new update to the B.C. Provincial Court’s Justice Delayed report, which originally warned of serious delays in the system last fall.
The update shows there were 2,371 adult criminal cases before the courts for more than 18 months as of March 31– a 16 per cent increase from 2,038 a year earlier.
Criminal cases 12 to 18 months old climbed 18 per cent over the same period from 4,856 to 5,744.
Together, the two categories make up just over half of the court’s entire caseload.
Judges are bound by Supreme Court of Canada rulings on how long cas-es can drag on and trials are being quashed over unacceptable delays of as little as 14 months, depending on the circumstances.
The average delay across B.C. for a two-day criminal trial in March was 10.6 months, slightly worse than nine months earlier, although the stats show some improvement in the waits for child protection hearings, small
claims trials and family law trials.But the numbers vary considerably
depending on the court house.Surrey remains the worst for adult
criminal cases, with a 16-month wait for a two-day trial.
Fort St. John, Chilliwack, Terrace, Vancouver (Main Street), Kelowna and Vernon were all booking two-day crim-inal trials at least 13 months away.
The longest delays for child protec-tion hearings (13 to 15 months) were in Cranbrook, Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Terrace, while delays of 14 to 15 months were being recorded for fam-ily trials in Fort St. John, Cranbrook, Abbotsford and Chilliwack.
The original report recommended B.C. move to restore the number of Provincial Court judges from 126.3 full-time equivalents (FTEs) in Sep-tember 2010 to the 2005 level of 143.6.
While a few new judges have been hired since the initial report, others have retired, been promoted to B.C. Supreme Court or opted to start to cut their hours to part-time.
As a result, the number of judges is now 125.1 FTEs as of the end of June, about 15 per cent fewer than in 2005 despite more cases of greater complexity.
The province passed a budget this spring requiring further cuts to court staffi ng.
Congested courts put more cases at risk
Body found in river, but foul play not suspected
A body was discov-ered last Wednesday in the Fraser River off Steveston Harbour by a whale-watching vessel.
But on Monday, police announced that no foul play was suspected, and efforts remain underway to identify the body.
Mounties were con-tacted about 5 p.m. on July 6, when the Coast Guard hovercraft Penac retrieved the body and brought it back to the Sea Island base at 4262 Inglis Rd. The body was of a woman between 20 and 30 years old.
A coroner ruled out foul play as there were no obvious signs of trauma. An autopsy has been conducted, and dental records were searched, but the results aren’t known yet, RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said.
Local investigators are now reaching out to surrounding police ju-risdictions in an effort to identify the body.—by Martin van den Hemel

A Sunday morning fire at a duplex in North Richmond has left at least one tenant home-less and looking for the public’s help.
“I was sleeping and my friend woke me up and said, ‘Fire, Fire!’” said Camilla Mason, who fled the home shortly before 3 a.m. as flames shot from the roof of the ad-jacent unit at 9600 Pat-terson Rd., north of No. 4 and Cambie roads.
She’s called the duplex home for the past five years, but as this was the first time she’s rent-ed, didn’t realize she could purchase content insurance.
Although the fire didn’t hit her unit, smoke and water damage ruined her furniture and cloth-ing.
Now she’s looking for a place to stay, and a bed on which to sleep.
Mason works as a spe-cial needs caregiver for the Richmond Society for Community Living, and works overnight
shifts. When she’s not scheduled to work, she’s planning to stay with her boyfriend in the U.S., but is looking for a one-bedroom unit in Richmond.
Otherwise, she’ll be sleeping in her car un-til she finds other ac-commodations. Anyone wishing to assist Mason can reach her through her boyfriend’s e-mail at [email protected].
Asked what caused the fire, Mason said she overheard an insurance adjuster speculate that perhaps a barbecue had been left on.
The duplex was oc-
cupied by the landlord, who was on vacation in Las Vegas, along with a family that was on va-cation in Los Angeles. That family’s teenage son and girlfriend, how-ever, were home at the time of the blaze, which appeared to be confined to the back and upper portions of one half of the duplex.
Fire crews were able to get the blaze under control within about 15 minutes of arriving.
While none of the resi-dents were injured, one firefighter suffered a mi-nor injury while battling the blaze.

While collecting taxes to fund society’s ser-
vices is considered a group responsibility, for the most part we pay based on ability.
With income taxes we pay progressively more as our earnings increase, thus the wealthier can afford to pay more.
This works reasonably well since it means that those who can least af-ford to pay for collective services are still entitled to the same standard of living.
With consumption taxes, however, we have a more flat tax system, whereby income doesn’t matter; you pay the same amount on products and services as everybody else.
Nobody seemed to have a problem with this concept in B.C. until the provincial government decided to unilaterally harmonize the federal and provincial sales taxes into one value-added tax.
Suddenly, it’s become an attack on the poor and those families who can least afford it, or so you’ve been told by HST dissidents.
They call the HST a “re-gressive” tax, a $2 billion
tax shift onto the poor and a jobs killer for the services industry.
Well, the HST is a re-gressive tax, as was the PST and GST. Consump-tion taxes are inherently regressive, as they don’t discriminate on the basis of those who can afford to pay for an item.
What this means is that the new car that was taxed at 12 per cent under the PST/GST and is still taxed at 12 per cent under the HST is the same regressive tax system, since it doesn’t charge a lower tax rate based on the relative affordability for the con-
sumer.That’s simple enough.But what has people
angry is the fact that some services that were PST-exempt under the old system are now taxed seven per cent higher under the HST.
This has been a difficult adjustment as consump-tion taxes went from a narrow-based system taxing mainly goods and not services, to a broad-based system where taxes are applied equally.
That’s naturally going to take some adjustment for an economy like British Columbia where four out of every five workers are
employed in a service. But that isn’t a coinci-dence.
A tax system that arti-ficially favoured services was caused by govern-ment, and so the market adapted to that unnatu-ral imbalance in services.
And though the change to the HST has been dif-ficult, the benefits are showing.
Broad-based consump-tion taxes curtail infla-tion, stabilize consumer prices and allow free market forces to work.
The input HST tax credits have allowed B.C. businesses to expand, hire more people and re-
cover from the economic downturn.
It’s unfortunate that the HST has become a political debate, when it has very little to do with politics beyond the way it was introduced.
But don’t take my word for it. Ask any economist, accountant or tax expert.
They’ll tell you the HST is a more fair, simple and equitable means of col-lecting taxes for the high quality services British Columbians demand from their government.

The City of Richmond and Turning Point Recov-ery Society have been
quietly working on putting a women’s support recov-ery centre in a single-family home near the old site of Steveston Secondary.
A group of neighbours are understandably concerned and have signed a petition, opposing the home.
Addiction raises all sorts of fears of the unknown and visions of trembling, disheveled drug addicts descending en masse onto a helpless family-oriented neighbourhood. But it’s worth remembering that recovering addicts are far away from addicts.
The women who will be living in
the house have battled addiction and are in a recovery mode, using the home as a final step in get-ting their lives back on track.
Turning Point, which will lease the facility from the city, has been a flashpoint for controversy in the community over the past 12 years.
Its first facility, a nine-bed group home on Odlin Road, opened in 1999 to hysterical opposition. There were claims drug dealers would take over the area and property values would plummet.
It never happened. Not only have the residents been no trouble, they’ve been community minded as well. They’ve helped build several community gardens over the past few years.
In 2007, Turning Point proposed another facility for Ash Street. That proposal was flawed. A large 40-bed facility was planned for a residential neighbourhood, largely populated by single-family homes. It was too big. (The province, which owned the land, asked for a bigger facility.)
It too faced significant opposi-tion, some of which was mean-spirited and highly misleading, implying Turning Point used “experimental” methods and the area was about to over-run by crooks and addicts looking for a fix. The proposal was eventually withdrawn.
However, Richmond is in dire need of a recovery home for women. The No. 2 Road house has beds for up to 10 women and
does not require public rezoning approval, so it’s a done deal.
There are people in our commu-nity who have had troubles with substance abuse. Helping them get back on their feet is an impor-tant contribution the community can make.
Turning Point has a strong record of safety and success to stand behind. There are many group homes in Richmond, includ-ing Horizon House, a six-bed mental health facility, and Nova House, a transition house for women and children.
This new group home won’t lower property values and won’t bring crime to the neighbour-hood. It will provide a great home and a helping hand for those who need it.

Editor:Re: “Teachers demand extra leave
as talks to resume in August,” July 10.
Your article and headline on teacher bargaining in B.C. seems to imply that the contract demands in the current round are exorbitant and patently unreasonable. Such comment deserves a response.
First, bargaining is just that, bargaining –both sides present their demands and work toward something in the middle. To put it into perspective: when is the last time anyone walked in a car lot and started bargaining at the asking price?
Second, teachers are commit-ted to making sure they are paid fairly, receive reasonable benefits, and have good working conditions (working conditions by the way, which are actually also our stu-dent’s learning conditions). Seeking contract improvements that keep teachers in B.C. competitive with other public and private sector contracts in Canadian jurisdictions is not unreasonable.
(As an aside, a decade ago teach-ers in B.C. used to be in third place with respect to salary, having given up increases to gain improvements to class size and class composi-tion—we know how that turned out, with the current government unilaterally stripping all class size
and class composition limits out of the collective agreement).
B.C. teachers are now around eighth—when Saskatchewan teach-ers (who are asking for 16 per cent) settle for anything above a zero-per-cent increase, we’ll be ninth.
Finally, no taxpayer wants his or her tax money spent unwisely. But government is making choices with respect to taxpayer funds. The current beneficiary is not public services —such as education, health, etc. Rather, government is committed to funding tax decreases to corporations and businesses.
To see the proof, one need look no further than the government’s own document, “Building B.C. for Your Family,” distributed at the B.C. Legislature’s Select Standing Com-mittee on Public Finance hearings, in which government proudly stated that by 2012, B.C. would have the lowest corporate income tax rate in the G7 countries (not third, or eighth or ninth). And by 2011, the small business tax rate in B.C. would be reduced to zero!
No wonder public services in B.C. are facing budgetary constraints, and no wonder the employer/gov-ernment is trying to portray teacher bargaining demands as exorbitant and unreasonable.

lettersSmart meters a smart ideaEditor:
B.C. Hydro plans to replace the existing meters with smart meters in homes and businesses in BC this year. These smart meters transmit informa-tion about energy use several times a day and will improve reliability and effi ciency greatly.
These smart meters can detect and report power outages, which shortens power restoration time. With the smart meters, the meter readings are more accurate and estimated billing is eliminated. Also, these smart meters will help to identify elec-tricity theft and tampering of the meters.
There are some concerns about health issues, but B.C. Hydro is confi dent that the level of radio fre-quency transmission is safe and that exposure to these frequency from a smart meter over 20 years is the equivalent of a 30-minute cell phone call.
I believe that the idea of smart meters replacing the old meters is fantastic and should be encour-aged not only in B.C. but worldwide.

Food not webcamsEditor:
I note that the Christy Clark government recently announced a $3.5-million CanConnect service to aid persons with disabilities live independently.
This new service does not put one single penny more into the hands of actual persons with disabili-ties, many of whom are living at near starvation levels. These people need food—not webcams.
Change the cash fl ow. The income of most per-sons with disabilities is so low now that almost all of it must go right back into the retail economy anyway.

Editor:I find it just incredible that some
seven years have passed since Debbie Judd effectively stole $175,000 from the piggy banks of children in Richmond via the Richmond Youth Soccer Asso-ciation and she still has not been sentenced. We now find out the court needs another four months to come to a conclusion.
I would call it a joke but it’s not funny. The so-called “justice sys-tem” has turned into an industry of its own with lawyers, the courts, the experts, etc. each grabbing a teat and milking the justice cow of cash until it falls over with ex-haustion. How much money is this costing the taxpayer?
Seven years is a very long time. International war criminal cases involving several hundred witnesses are concluded quicker than this. I would suggest starting an investigation into whether sheer incompetence played a roll in this delay or it’s just par for the course, but I don’t have another fi ve years to wait for the answer.
I am also pretty sure that at the end of all this only to add insult to injury she will not serve one day in jail anyway. Well they do say “jus-tice delayed is justice denied,” but maybe it should be “Justice delayed is just more earnings implied.”

When it comes to pan-try staples, I always have quinoa on hand. I add to soups, salads, or serve with a main course; it’s just that versatile.
Quinoa is a great source of fi ber, complex carbohydrates, calcium, phosphorous, iron, vitamins B and E. It also has more protein than any other grain and yet is lower in carbs than any other grain.
As a complete pro-tein, it contains all the essential amino acids and easily digested. This means, quinoa is great as a baby’s fi rst food and is ideal for gluten-free or gluten intolerant diets. Two cups of quinoa has 626 calories and a whop-ping 24g protein.
While grain-like, quinoa is really a seed—small, curled, in ivory, red, or black. I’ve never noticed
that much of a fl avor difference.
Quinoa cooks like rice, in about 15 minutes, but the taste is more like couscous, on the bland side, with a hint of nutti-ness. Cooked, it fl uffs up and triples the original uncooked amount. I like to steam my quinoa, instead of simmering or cooking and draining, but any way works.
Organic by nature, quinoa needs a thorough rinse before cooking to eliminate any remnants of the natural protective coating called “saponin” which can give a slightly bitter taste.
When summer fruits are available, I cook 1 cup of quinoa and add 3 cups of cubed fruits (raspberries, peaches, apricots, blueberries, etc.), half a cup of toasted and chopped walnuts or pecans, and 1 chopped green onion. The dressing is simple: juice and zest of 1 lemon whisked with 1 tbsp honey (local if you can) and 1 tbsp olive oil (I pre-fer rice bran oil). Toss.

Place quinoa in a saucepan of boiling water and cook for 9 minutes, until tender. Drain in a fi ne sieve, rinse under cold water and leave to dry.
Brush the bread with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Lay the slices on a baking sheet and bake at 350˚F for about 10 minutes, turning halfway through. The bread should be completely dry and crisp.
Remove from oven and allow to cool, then break by hand into different-sized pieces.
Cut the tomatoes into roughly 3/4 –inch dice and put in a mixing bowl.
Cut the cucumbers into similar-size pieces and add to the tomatoes. Add remaining ingredients, including quinoa and bread, and stir gently until everything is mixed well together. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Mortal Coil Performance Society
is staging a series of free weekend workshops in lantern making, stilt walking, mask-making and music beginning later this month.
The Saturday and Sunday work-shops, July 23 to Aug. 15, are geared to families and open to participants of all ages. Sessions will be led by Mortal Coil’s professional artists and performers, and most will be held at Britannia Heritage Shipyard. (Workshops on July 23 and 30 will be held at Phoenix Art Workshop in Ste-veston.) Workshops run 1 to 4 p.m.
On the weekend of Aug. 5 to 7, free salmon lantern-making work-shops will be offered throughout each day at the Richmond Maritime Festival.
Workshop participants could also land a part in Mortal Coil’s upcom-ing outdoor theatrical production Salmon Row, which runs Aug. 18 to 28 at Britannia. This new Canadian play is about the importance of can-neries to the history of the region, and will include the company’s sig-nature stilts, puppets and masks.
Mortal Coil is a Vancouver based, professional theatre company dedicated to creating imaginative, spectacle-arts theatre to audiences of all ages. Since 1999, it has served as the artistic directing company for the Stanley Park Ghost Train and Bright Nights events.

Who’s who in hoops drawn to Dolphinby Don FennellSports Editor
In the world of summer street-ball, surprises are often the order of the day.
Player schedules can and fre-quently do change at a moment’s notice. It’s part of the charm of events like the Dolphin Park Clas-sic, the 26th edition of which tips off Friday afternoon at Thompson Community Centre.
“We’re (actually) lucky to have a great return rate of players and teams,” said Bruce Watson, one of the organizers of the annual four-on-four tournament. “But hav-ing said that things come up like holidays, weddings and other bas-ketball commitments—especially for younger guys enrolled in the national team programs. And then there are injuries.”
The Dolphin Park Classic is typi-cally a who’s who of local talent buoyed by a healthy dose of imports from surrounding communities. It is the teams, or more accurately the captains that prepare for the unexpected, that usually fare best by snagging at least a free agent or two. In streetball lingo, a free agent is a player who has not committed to any team. He or she might have just graduated from playing college or university basketball and fi ts a particular team’s needs.
“Thats when the wrangling be-gins,” Watson said.
“It’s up to the captain to convince that player, who might be the type to put their team over the top, to play for them.”
Josh Masters, the former Matthew McNair Secondary standout and perennial Dolphin Park dunk con-test winner, may be the ultimate free agent. A veteran of the outdoor hoop wars, he’s a known commod-ity and always much sought after.
“Ultimately every player at Dol-phin is a free agent, but most of the teams are built around friend-ship, loyalty and chemistry,” said Watson.
Many of the teams on the men’s side of the draw are what he calls “theme teams.” Good examples are the Monkeys, Athletes in Ac-
tion and the defending tournament champion X-Falcons.
Though represented by a new gen-eration of players—former Univer-sity of B.C. standout and Richmond native Alex Murphy among them—the Monkeys are steeped in tradi-tion and continue to pay homage to it. With original leader John Dykstra (head coach at White Rock Christian Academy) now piloting from the sidelines with the help of Univer-sity of B.C. assistant coach Vern Knopp, the Monkeys remain of the most animated teams in the tour-nament’s colourful history. Known
for their sometimes outrageous uniforms and friendly disposition, the Monkeys have shown they can also play basketball.
“They’re an example of old school working with new school,” said Wat-son of arguably the most popular team ever at Dolphin Park.
Athletes in Action is a team found-ed on Christian fellowship. Captain Steve Janzen, who plays pro ball in Germany during the traditional basketball season, is one of many players who graduated from Trinity Western University.

One of the recent additions is Yale Secondary grad Marek Klas-sen who dominated as a high schooler and just completed his freshman season of college ball at Point Loma Nazarene University,
near San Diego. He was a late cut from this year’s Canadian junior national team.
Winners of two of the last three men’s titles at Dolphin Park, the X-Falcons were launched in the mid-1990s—mainly consisting of
players with a connection to the Langara College Falcons. Though it has been many years since Lan-gara alums have made up the basis of the team, two former Falcons still form its nucleus—original captain Navi Sekhon and Randy Nohr.
Last year, women’s hoops made its debut at Dolphin Park thanks in large part to the efforts of Richmond’s Breanne Watson. A University of Washington alum who has played pro ball the last few years in Europe, she has been able to convince several high-level players including 2003 WNBA draft pick Lindsey Wilson to suit up. Watson and Wilson, who grew up playing outdoor basketball against the guys, combined to lift the U.S.eh? to the inaugural women’s title.
Watson, 26, a Dolphin Park dev-otee most of her life along with her younger brother Kyle (who played for the men’s champion X-Falcons in last summer’s tournament) is hopeful the women’s division will continue to expand.
“These are high-level athletes that can really play,” she said.

It’s silver for Marquardt and matesDuring the second 500 me-
tres of the fi nal World Cup rowing race this season Sun-day in Lucerne Switzerland, the words of coxswain Lesley Thompson-Willie rang out.
“We had the Dutch, now let’s get the Americans,” the sev-
en-time Canadian Olympian told her Canadian women’s eight crew as it made its way to a second-place fi nish (to the U.S.) in six minutes, 29.41 seconds.
“Man, was that ever a rush,” said veteran Darcy Marquardt
of Richmond. “You could just feel the boat surging with more power and determina-tion. We were able to battle it out with the U.S. for rest of the race, but they moved ahead in the fi nal 250 metres and we just ran out of room to catch
up. So silver it is. For now.”Marquardt, who hopes to
compete in her third Olympic Games next summer in Lon-don, England, had a feeling it was going to a good race. The crew had been relegated the repechage Saturday af-
ter losing to the Dutch in the semifi nals, a result that both angered and inspired the Ca-nadians.
“I firmly believe that we needed that extra race to pre-pare fully for the fi nal,” said Marquardt.
The crews are now preparing for the Olympic qualifi er in 49 days at the world champion-ships in Bled, Slovenia.
“It’s been a roller-coaster of a month and it will only get better over the coming weeks and year, “ said Marquardt.

Rugby Canada and the Dog River Howlers Rugby Club (www.dogriverhowl-ers.com) are teaming up for a joint fundraising program Friday at the Red Lion Bar & Grill, 2427 Ma-rine Dr. in West Vancou-ver, to help the National Senior Men’s Team raise funds to offset their costs to participate in the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
The Dog River Howlers spearheaded a similar initiative in 2007 and successfully raised over $100,000.
This year’s fundraiser has been dubbed “We Stand on Guard for Thee” and features two compo-nents. The fi rst part of the fundraising effort is an exclusive gathering being hosted by Gren Thomas at his Red Lion Bar and Grill in Vancouver on July 15, 2011. The evening will feature members of the National Senior Men’s Team, past Rugby World Cup captains, guest em-cee Lorne Cardinal of the TV hit Corner Gas and art-ist Ladd Fogarty. It will be a rare opportunity to see all of the past Rugby World Cup Captains in one place and meet the 2011 team that will stand on guard for us at the Rugby World Cup.

Chevrolet Safe and Fun Hock-ey is providing all five-year-old players across Canada with an opportunity to get their first hockey helmet for free, giving parents peace of mind while instilling the importance of on-ice safety from the beginning of their child’s sporting involve-ment. By providing new and safe equipment, the Chevrolet Canada Hockey Helmet Program will help these young players learn that safe hockey is fun hockey.
“We’re focused on serving our customers and communi-
ties better than ever, and with more than 400 dealers in com-munities across Canada, we have the opportunity to make a real impact through this bold new initiative,” said Rob Assi-makopoulos, general director of marketing at Chevrolet.
“For over a decade, Chevrolet Safe and Fun Hockey has been involved in creating a safe and enjoyable environment for kids across Canada, “said Bobby Orr. “The new program to provide free helmets to young players is a great initiative that will help us build safety into the culture of
sports and help kids understand that hockey can be lots of fun, while still being safe.”
All players born in 2006 who register to play hockey with Hockey Canada in the 2011/2012 season will be eligible to receive a free Bauer Hockey helmet from Chevrolet. In the 2010/2011 sea-son, over 23,000 five-year-olds were registered with Hockey Canada.
To pre-register for a Chevrolet Safe and Fun Hockey package, including a free helmet, parents can visit www.chevrolethockey.ca beginning July 12.

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.

Winning a championship is diffi cult at the best of the times. Defending it is even more demanding.
But that’s what India hopes to do in the men’s Open Division at the 32nd annual Nations Cup Soccer Tournament this weekend at Hugh Boyd and Minoru parks.
“We have basically the same squad as last year, but I’ve tried to make it a bit bigger with the addition of a few more young kids,” said coach Bindy Braich. “It’s a tough grind to play fi ve games over three days and it’s easy to get burned out.”
Braich, whose team won the 2010 title with a 1-0 vic-tory over Ireland, is encour-aged by the young talent that forms the nucleus of India. That’s why he was reluctant to make many changes.
“We had loads of energy last year,” he said. “In fact I’d never seen that much energy with kids that want-ed to win something and believed if they worked hard and took it a game at a time they’ve have a good chance. So why wouldn’t you stay with a winning lineup?”
Having said that, how-ever, Braich knows all the other teams are stronger and everyone wants to beat the best. That’s why his squad played at least a few exhibition matches prior to the tournament.
“We threw a lot of young kids into the deep end to see if they’re going to be ready to play at the next level,” he said. “They looked pretty good.”
If India succeeds in de-fending their Open Divi-sion title, they’ll become the first team to do so since Germany in 2001 and 2002.
Coached by Stephen Frank and assisted by for-mer Richmond youth soc-cer standout and ex-Van-couver Whitecap striker Jason Jordan, Canada is one of the teams hoping to challenge India’s su-premacy.

Don Fennell photoThe 32nd Nations Cup Soccer Tournament, this weekend at Hugh Boyd and Mi-noru parks, will feature 46 teams representing 18 nations.
From Page 17
“We’ve turned out a completely new leaf with a whole different crew—much younger, faster and skilled,” promises Frank, who fi gures the average age is only 21.
“These kids are very good players and have played at a good level.”
But they won’t have to wait long to see how they fare at the next grade. Canada is scheduled to square off against India in their opening game at the Nations Cup Friday at 7:45 p.m. at Hugh Boyd Park.
“This is huge for them and we’ll see how they cope,” Frank said. “I think we’ll do OK but India is always the team to beat. They have a great com-munity behind them and everyone wants to play for the team and make them proud. But I don’t care how experienced a team you have, playing India on a Friday night is always a big deal.”
Both Frank and Jordan are proud to be leading Canada, a team they themselves played for. For Frank, the bond goes back to when he was a young
child and his dad coached the team.
“It’s huge and I take great pride putting out a team that can do well and win,” he said. “When I was growing up there were a lot of tournaments in Richmond, one every long weekend, but this is the only one left. It’s great
for the local soccer com-munity.”
While the focus is large-ly on the men’s Open Divi-sion, the Nations Cup also features men’s over-30, over-35 and over-38 divi-sions as well as an open women’s division. They are equally important in the ongoing success
of the tournament, said Nations Cup chair Jeff Wilson.
“It allows the history of tournament to be show-cased because some of these players were elite players 20-plus years ago, and having that legacy is great. ”

Prepping for provincials
Don Fennell photoRichmond’s Peewee A Islanders prepared for this weekend’s provincial championships in Surrey by topping Delta Heat last weekend at London Park. The fi rst-year Islanders are coached by a pair of former Islanders in Charmaine Lum and Briana Adams.

The top Peewee B girls’ fastpitch teams in the province will gather this weekend in Rich-mond.
The B.C. champion-ship tournament be-gins Friday and contin-ues through Sunday at London Park.
One of the entries will be the host Islanders 97, under the guidance of head coach Steve Smith.
“Our season has shown a marked im-provement from our first year in Peewee where we won only seven games all last year,” said Smith.
The Islanders’ record this year, including tournament play, is
24-19-2. The Islanders would
of course love noth-ing more than to cap this season with a B.C. title, but Smith said the goal is primar-ily to make the playoff round (top eight), and ultimately make the medal round.
“Our team has won two silver medals in tournaments this year, adding to a growing sense of confi dence in our abilitities,” he said. “Batting is currently our greatest strength, with defence a close second. Our middle infield is outstanding. The girls have had a very enjoy-able year, despite the early-season weather, and they are looking forward to the week-end.”

The last time the Vancouver All-Stars squared off with a Port-land team, they blew the roof off the place as TCRG beat the

This time, Portland’s Rose City Rollers sent up their talented B-Team, the Axels of Annihila-tion.

> Fraser River Art Festival at London Heritage Farm
Art by the river
It was a picture perfect summer day at London Heritage
Farm last Sunday with lavender tea served in the tearoom and the Richmond Artists Guild’s eighth annual Fraser River Art Festival out-side in the park.
“It’s almost like an old-fashion picnic,” said Marvin Skelton, the president of the Richmond Artists Guild.
The festival brought out over 20 different artists and art clubs from Richmond to display and sell their work.
Visitors browsed and bought art and sat at the picnic tables or stretch out on the grass to enjoy the live music put on by the Steveston Folk Guild.
This year some of the art-ists, including Skelton, could be found painting under the white tents set up to house the artist’s work.
“It brings it more out to the people,” he said.
“People don’t realize that there’s a lot of good artists living in Richmond,” Skelton said.
The fi rst years of the festival saw only painters, but this year the festival branched out to include the Richmond Pot-ters Club and the Richmond Gem and Minerals Club.
Ten per cent of the money each artist and club made at the festival will go to the Lon-don Heritage Farm Society.
