Harold Cross has lunched at same spot each day for 31 years

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

At the restaurant named after him, Harold Cross has his own parking spot, table and now has a chair engraved with his name.

The staff of the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel and its restaurant, Harold’s Bistro and Bar, celebrated the 90th birth-day of the eatery’s namesake Monday by presenting Cross with a birthday cake—and his own chair.

Cross has been a regular at the restau-rant since 1980, rarely missing a day for lunch. If he doesn’t arrive by 12:15 p.m., he’ll get a phone call from worried staff.

The tradition began when he and his wife Jeannie retired. They agreed they’d get up everyday, get “properly dressed” and do something. Somehow that ended up being lunch at the Wayfaring Tree, as Harold’s Bistro was then called.

Soon, coming to the restaurant was like coming home to family, said Cross, a Van-couver native who moved to Richmond with his wife after retirement.

When the hotel changed ownership a few years ago, hotel executives decided to rename the restaurant after their best customer.

“He’s like extended family for every-body, and I think he considers us his

extended family,” said Ryan Soderberg, the hotel’s director of sales and mar-keting. “He’s very well loved here at the hotel.”

Cross, who spent his career with the federal government, acknowledged it’s the people that keep him coming back.

“When they refi nished this, it’s just gor-geous, and what comes out of the kitchen is always great, but it’s the people—all of them around here, everybody,” said Cross, following a hotel staff rendition of “Happy Birthday.”

His wife passed away fi ve years ago, but Cross still sits at the same table for fi sh and chips or a sandwich and soup each day—with the restaurant picking up the tab—mostly alone.

“Actually,” he pauses, “I come to have lunch with my wife. Still.”

Massive meth lab busted by Mountiesby Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

An active, commercial-scale bubbling methamphetamine lab in the midst of an upscale residential neighbourhood, was busted last Thursday by members of the RCMP’s Fed-eral Drug Enforcement Clan-destine Lab.

Investigators executed a search warrant at 6251 Gib-bons Dr. late Thursday after-noon and arrested a man and a woman. Three other men, seen fl eeing out the back of the house, were also arrest-ed, RCMP Cpl. Annie Linteau said. All fi ve have now been released from custody and could soon be facing drug-related charges, though no charges have yet been laid.

A police video (http://bit.ly/o4rlca) of the interior of the older split-level house gives a fascinating glimpse inside an active meth lab, with the house used exclusively for making illegal drugs, accord-ing to police.

Police, fi re department, emergency health services and hazardous materials crews took the entire day on Friday to clean up the home and remove the volatile chem-icals and lab equipment.

Largely hidden from the road by a row of tall hedg-es, the house backs on to James Thompson Elementary School—near No. 1 Road and Westminster Highway—which throughout the summer hous-es a daycare.

Friday, July 22, 2011 Richmond Review ·

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

Sara Dubois still can’t believe that raccoons in Richmond are attacking and eating cats.

“I’d literally have to see it to believe it,” said the manager of wildlife services for the B.C. So-ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

While raccoons and cats are known to fight, raccoons aren’t aggressive by nature, and she’s never heard of them acting in a predatory fashion like coyotes, which hunt and stalk their prey before eating it.

Nicole Thibault said her 17-year-old cat Kokanee was attacked by two raccoons early Saturday morn-ing at the family’s Springthorne Crescent home.

Nicole’s mother, Wendy, heard her male Siamese cat’s distinctive cries around 5:30 a.m., and walked out to the carport, where two raccoons were fighting with Kokanee. Using a garden hose to try to fend off the raccoons, they eventually scur-ried away, but carried the fight with Kokanee into the dark. Kokanee’s body was never found.

Three days earlier on Wednesday, July 13, Nicole’s friend, Tara-Lee Lovo, found the family’s cat had

apparently gotten into a skirmish with a raccoon, which chewed up its hind legs. The cat was brought to the vet, but later died.

Letter-to-the-editor writer Bryn Nixon detailed how four raccoons were seen eating the lifeless body of their cat right before their eyes on the evening of Sunday, July 3.

Cats and raccoons can fight over food, but SPCA’s Dubois said they’re just as likely to sit side-by-side to share a meal.

Raccoons are known as scaven-gers, and are erroneously blamed for killing an animal by people who see them hunched over an animal’s carcass, she said.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Stephen Vantassel, who runs its Internet Centre for Wildlife Damage Management, said raccoons can aggressively go after live prey, and has seen the aftermath of a raccoon reaching into a metal cage and pull-ing out a trapped squirrel.

But most predators don’t go after prey that are about the same size,

as is the case between raccoons and cats, he said.

University of B.C. zoology lecturer Wayne Goodey, who researches animal behaviour, agreed.

While they’d prefer better sources of protein, it’s unlikely the omnivo-rous raccoons are turning en masse toward cats.

But Goodey said the step from scavenging a dead cat’s carcass to killing one for food is a small one.

Dubois said the best advice is for cat owners to keep their animals inside.

“I have an indoor cat for a rea-son,” Dubois said.

KISS legend and family to take show into audience


Fans of the brooding man behind the demonic tongue-wagging bassist and vocalist of

the 1970s hard rock band KISS, will never get a better chance to get up close and personal with him.

Gene Simmons will be at River Rock Show Theatre tonight (8 p.m. Friday, July 22) for a one-of-a-kind show, highlighted by his fam-ily’s appearance not just on stage, but in the audience, where they’ll be taking questions from those in attendance.

He will be joined by his partner of 28 years, Shannon Tweed, and their two children, Nicholas and Sophie, who together star in the reality TV series, Gene Simmons Family Jewels, currently in its sixth season on A&E.

Simmons will spend the fi rst half-hour of the show sharing his fi nancial wisdom, and waxing philosophical about life, before bring-ing his family on stage with him.

Simmons was convinced to come to River Rock by Great Canadian Gaming vice-pres-ident Howard Blank, despite the fact he’s still shooting his TV show and performing with KISS, which is currently at the tail end of a North American tour that will see him in Montreal on Sunday.

Blank pitched the idea of having Simmons on stage at River Rock, alongside his family.

“That’s not going to happen, Howard,” Sim-mons said Thursday morning from River Rock, after fl ying in on Wednesday evening.

“We’ve never done anything like this and I don’t know if I want to put my family up to that."

Blank kept calling, and Simmons said the idea became more palatable because of the family’s vacation home in Whistler, where the kids—who thanks to Canadian Tweed carry dual Canada-U.S. citizenship—love spending their time.

“Clearly what everybody wants to do is meet the charming part of the family, not the tall, dark, brooding guy.”

Simmons and Tweed recently appeared on CNN’s The Joy Behar Show, where Tweed

walked off, upset about Simmons’ philander-ing ways.

That was not a publicity stunt for their TV show, he said.

“I’m crazy about this girl, and I’m certainly not a saint. And anyone you love and care for, is worth fi ghting for. And that means as a man, I have to do something that we men don’t do, which is to be introspective, and confront myself...because men feel entitled, we’re selfi sh, we’re arrogant about it, we don’t want anybody to tell us what to do, where you go...

“And after 28 years and two wonderful kids, it’s probably time for me to grow up, don’t you think?” he said. “There’s no better drill sergeant than Shannon Tweed. I would urge any guy who wants to set his life in order, get yourself a Newfi e gal, she’ll whip you into shape, real fast.”

Simmons said he’s still mending fences with Tweed.

“Big fences, my fences, nobody else’s. But it ain’t easy. I’ve got a lot of baggage.”

But is change possible?“I sure hope so.”Is this a different phase in his life?“When I was a kid, I never imagined I’d do

things, ‘Oh, I’ll never do that,’ but then when you grow up, you do stuff. I never imagined I’d be with one girl 28 years, much less have kids, but then I did do that. And life for me as an only child has always been about me, me, me.”

His mother referred to him as King, and when friends called and he was in the wash-room, she’d say the King was on the throne.

“All this kind of privileged upbringing makes a guy kind of arrogant when he grows up. Ev-erything changed when Nick and Sophie were

born. It’s all of a sudden, it was this kind of epiphany. It ain’t about me, it’s about them.”

Simmons said men are 14-or 15-year-olds for their entire lives.

“No matter how old you get, there’s that little boy inside whose selfi sh and wants to cause trouble.”

After relating some fi nancial advice, Sim-mons will bring out his family, who will do more than just sit on the stage.

“We intend on getting off stage, and walk-ing into the audience, all four of us, so that

anything you want to talk about is face-to-face without the big stage and the body-guards getting in the way. We’d like to take the action right to people’s faces.”

Asked how he musters the energy to shoot a TV show, perform concerts and then do corporate events, Simmons said: “I’ve never been drunk or high in my life.”

Simmons gave a preview of his show and his philosophy.

“I’m the pest exterminator. I come into your house, and I get rid of all the crap around you so that your life is easier. Or like the guy who works you out, so you lose those extra pounds and actually are more able to lead a successful life,” he said. “We’re all fi nancially fat, which is we have extra pounds of fat around us, which means we throw all kinds of stupid money around, which means we don’t have enough money ever.”

The solution? Jettison the insignifi cant things that eat up time, money and effort, so that the money is used for the important things: health, security and all that kind of stuff, he said.

“I’ve shown people at these Rich and Famous symposiums...how to double their money in a year, without changing their life, without getting another job, without moving. It’s just prioritizing.”

And Simmons has come to the realization that his family is his priority.

Discover Terra Nova’s hidden gemBy Linda Barnes

Our Australian houseguest came back from his bike ride and exclaimed “G’day mate! What’s that place past the golf course where the dyke curves? It’s a beaut!” Well he’s talking about Terra Nova Rural Park of course! It was the centre of controversy back in the late ‘80s and the subject of a spending referendum in the ‘90s. The park was officially opened in 2005 and has won numerous national and provincial awards. It is home to demonstration gardens and programs to introduce school-aged children to planting, growing and harvesting, as well as educational, agricultural and environmental courses. Despite all these things, Terra Nova is still one of Richmond’s least known parks!

Currently the over 100-acre park is divided into two main areas. South is the natural area where dogs can roam on a leash. This is also a resting place for over 142 species of birds. North is a no dog zone with gardens and heritage areas reflective of Richmond’s agricultural and fishing past. Already in operation are demonstrations around planting, cooking, preserving, organic gardening, composting, healing herbs, cob

oven bread baking and much more. The historic slough has been

daylighted—which means the City’s Parks Division expanded and deepened the original slough and filled it with water for future fish habitat. This is reminiscent of Richmond prior to our existing dykes. Further north were two fish canneries, stores and several homesteads. Many buildings remain and are in different restoration phases. They will be refurbished and could possibly become a restaurant, bed and breakfast, live-work spaces or other such uses in the future.

Current plans include telling historic stories about the area and the people who lived and worked there. Plans for a major waterfront and play area on the north side will be initiated during 2011. These plans will also connect the waterfront, the Middle Arm Greenway and the parklands behind the dyke.

As the City’s Parks Division moves through this process, the public will be invited to participate in many ways. Many interpretive signs are already in the park and my Aussie friend takes great delight in telling Richmondites stories and information about their city that they don’t know themselves. As he says, “it’s a beaut’ and no one knows about it!” Visit Terra Nova Rural Park and find out for yourselves!

Local MLA ranks second in living expenses


Richmond Centre MLA Rob Howard recorded the second highest capi-tal city living expenses among MLAs, according to newly released fi nan-cial statements.

The Liberal MLA billed taxpayers $21,718 for liv-ing expenses in Victoria, $11,175 in travel costs and earned a salary of $101,859, according to the B.C. Public Accounts 2010/11 report, released by the Ministry of Finance.

Only Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm claimed more in capital city liv-ing expenses, charging taxpayers $22,877.

John Yap, Liberal MLA for Richmond Steveston, charged $16,138 for living expenses and $25,748 for travel. He earned a salary of $133,760, which included a parliamentary secretary bonus and ex-tra salary for his former role as minister of state for climate action.

Richmond East MLA Linda Reid expensed $14,812 for living costs and $20,160 for travel. The Liberal MLA earned $138,356, which included a bonus for her role as deputy speaker.

All MLAs who live out-side the Capital Regional District can claim a capital living allowance, which can include a maximum annual housing cwost of $19,000 and a meal al-lowance of $61 per day.

The figures, released Monday, are for the fi scal year ending March 31, 2011.

Gordon Campbell, B.C.’s premier during the period, recorded $13,410 in cap-ital living expenses and $62,637 in travel costs.

But SFU professor says B.C.-led initiative should be scrapped


Richmond is pushing forward to be-come carbon neutral by 2012, but an energy expert suggests the province-led idea should be scrapped.

Simon Fraser University Mark Jaccard said Wednesday B.C. should abandon

its goal of creating a carbon neutral public sector.

A paper penned by Jaccard and re-search associate Brad Griffi n encour-ages the government to instead focus on extending its carbon tax, which the researchers say currently targets only three-quarters of B.C.’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Achieving carbon neutral status, and having net zero carbon emissions, often requires offsets—paying someone else to reduce future emissions by investing in energy effi ciency or planting trees.

“The carbon offset industry claims that these purported emissions reduc-

tions are real and verifi ed, but we can-not be certain,” said Jaccard in a news release. “Someone is paid for some-thing they would have done anyway...meaning that the offset payment does not cause additional carbon reductions and carbon neutrality is not achieved—although it appears to be.”

Jaccard said B.C. should instead focus on extending emissions pricing to what is currently untaxed.

Richmond is committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2012, as a signatory to the B.C. Climate Action Charter, a voluntary agreement between the prov-ince, Union of B.C. Municipalities and local governments.

To get there, Richmond has introduced a green fl eet policy, high performance building policy, corporate car-pool program and corporate energy retrofi t program.

But it has more work to do. According to city spokesperson Kim Decker, the

city will be exploring “additional local initiatives” over the next year.

Becoming carbon neutral is the “fi rst step” toward sustainability, suggested Mayor Malcolm Brodie.

“We have to bear in mind that carbon neutrality is not the end goal. Com-munity sustainability is the end goal,” he said. “Carbon neutrality is only one facet of it.”

Beyond the city’s operations, city council has pledged to reduce green-house gas emissions Richmond-wide by one-third from 2007 levels by 2020.

By 2050, it hopes to achieve an 80 per cent emissions reduction—a signifi cant challenge considering civic emissions are just one per cent of community emissions, noted Brodie.

“Were going to have to be very ag-gressive and assertive in moving to it,” he said. “I know we can do it if we set our minds to it, but it’s going to be very diffi cult indeed.”

City pushes ahead with its carbon neutral goal“Someone is paid for some-thing they would have done any-way...meaning that the offset payment does not cause ad-ditional carbon reductions and carbon neutrality is not achieved—although it ap-pears to be.”

But for the last few years the 42-year-old, who uses a wheelchair to get around, has had to rely on the HandyDART service or a borrowed van—until now.

On Wednesday, the Greater Vancouver Commu-nity Services Society unveiled a new addition to the driveway of Evans’ Williams Road group home. A new $55,000 van, specially equipped to transport three passengers in wheelchairs, will now allow the home’s six residents, who have profound developmental dis-abilities, to participate in activities in the community they otherwise wouldn’t be able to.

And it wasn’t possible without a little help from the late Milan Ilich, whose life will be celebrated at a funeral service today. The Milan and Maureen Ilich Foundation provided partial funding—and the largest donation—for the vehicle.

Now Evans, who has cerebral palsy and other dis-abilities, will be able to easily visit his mom, who lives in Surrey. It was a trip that wasn’t provided by the HandyDART service, as it involved crossing municipal boundaries.

“For quite awhile they weren’t able to see each other, and it also meant that every time we used the vehicle we were pulling from the clients in the other home, so it’s been a juggling act,” said Robin Turnill, chief operating offi cer of the society.

Three years ago, budget constraints left the home without a vehicle.

“This is just a tremendous resource for the home,” said society CEO Ron McLeod. “We owe a great debt of gratitude to the Ilich foundation...”

A cockroach infestation forced health offi cials to close down the Golden Sea City Restaurant, at 145-8360 Granville Ave. at St. Albans Road, on Monday.

The restaurant was permitted to re-open on Tuesday afternoon after a thorough cleaning.

While there were a number of cleanli-ness concerns noticed by a health in-spector—including the operator’s lack of the use of sanitizers when cleaning—it was the presence of cockroaches that raised alarm bells.

“Found cockroaches in varying stages of development at time of inspection,” this week’s inspection report states. “Large amount of cockroaches found around the dim sum preparing area, dishwashing areas as well as the side stainless steel preparation area near the dim sum table. Cockroaches were also found by the bubble tea side of restaurant in multiple cupboards as well as beneath and around the small reach in coolers.”

The pests were also found in the draw-ers where staff kept their personal be-longings.

“General sanitation in premises is poor which is contributing to the cock-

roach infestation based upon the site inspection.”

The restaurant’s primary operator, Wil-liam Cheung, was ordered to ensure all cockroaches were eliminated and areas of potential contact thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.

Monday’s inspection was labelled as routine, but it’s the second such inspec-tion in just over two months.

In May, a health inspector also found a cockroach in the dessert and bubble tea section, and ordered the company to contact a professional pest control company. Later in the month, a re-in-spection found no pests.

But general sanitation continued to be viewed as inadequate.

Tenshi the cat, who has been a good friend to Rich-mond’s Glenn ter Borg, has found a new home.


Glenn ter Borg will sleep easy in his new home in Brazil, knowing that his beloved cat Tenshi has found a new home.

After sharing his story with The Richmond Review, more than a half dozen locals came forward, offering to adopt Tenshi.

“It’s all be solved, thanks to your article,” ter Borg wrote. “I weeded some out as they had dogs. One wanted a mouser; Tenshi is too old and fat for that.”

Ter Borg screened out several, before landing on a woman he’d met before who works at an extended care home.

“She has an old cat, and today Karen came with her cat. We watched the 2 cats together, and we feel that neither will be aggressive. She is more of a cat lover than myself, so although I’m sad to part with Tenshi, I know he has a good home.”

Ter Borg is moving to northern Brazil to join his wife, who lives there. He can’t bring Tenshi with him to South America because he doesn’t want to risk losing Tenshi during the grueling 36 hour-long combination of fl ights, transfers and airport layovers between Vancouver and Brazil.

Ter Borg suffers from Friedreich’s ataxia, a degenerative neurological disorder, and is confi ned to a wheelchair.

Best year yet for markets, selling everything from dog outfits to kelp baskets


A summer of cool, wet weather hasn’t kept the crowds away from Richmond’s two outdoor markets, as each are enjoying record attendance.

“The weather most defi nitely has not affected the market. It seems to be more in demand than it ever was,” said Paula Morimoto, manager of the Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market, now in its fourth year.

Regulars keep coming back, but Morimo-to said vendors are also noticing plenty of fi rst-time visitors among the up to 5,000 people at each market day.

Two Sundays each month, 100 vendors set up shop in Steveston Village, selling baked goods, handicrafts, fresh produce and other items. Vendors popular among the curious include a woman who creates custom succulent planters, a mushroom specialist and an artist who weaves bas-kets out of kelp.

The momentum might keep the market going through another winter. Last year, for the fi rst time, the summer market moved indoors during winter, drawing up to 2,000 visitors to the Gulf of Georgia Cannery each market day.

Meanwhile, in North Richmond, the Sum-mer Night Market—also in its fourth year—is drawing an average of 22,000 people every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, according to organizer Paul Cheung.

“This year has been our best yet,” Ch-eung said. “With all the rain—they’re still coming out.”

Armed with umbrellas and sweaters—and some defying cooler temperatures in short shorts—market-goers are returning regularly for good eats.

“Food is obviously the greatest attrac-tion. The people that come tell us that. Even though some of it can be found at restaurants, it just doesn’t taste the same in a restaurant as at an outdoor market,” said Cheung. “Vendors have really im-proved their quality because of the sheer competition.”

Special events have also been popular, including the market’s grand opening, which the Korean consulate sponsored with a display of their country’s culture. A Filipino Independence Day celebration offered another cultural showcase.

From Page 8“People are fi nding out other people’s

culture when they come down because of all these diverse cultures that we invite to the market,” said Cheung. “People are having a new experience every time they come down.”

One of the market’s 200-plus vendors is Eddy Lee, a four-year food vending veteran. Lee, 32, works side-by-side with his dad selling roasted dried squid, fresh coconuts and bubble tea.

“Most of them come back for the squid, because it’s something unique—something different,” said Lee. “It’s like beef jerky, but made from squid.”

Lee said business has been good this year, attracting plenty of people willing to spend $3.50 on a bag of specialty squid.

“It’s a way to make some money and meet new people. It’s something to do on the weekends,” he said.

Retail vendors have also proven to be popular draws, including those everything from cultural handicrafts to socks and un-derwear.

Vendor Amy Wong, 40, sells clothing and accessories for pets, and beauty products for their human owners. Big sellers for Wong are costumes for canines, including Winnie the Pooh, panda and dinosaur designs.

Customers buy them to dress up man’s best friend for Halloween or just to keep their pooches warm. Some pets like wear-ing the getups—others not so much, Wong admits.

Perhaps to the chagrin of dogs resistant to prehistoric-themed threads, business has been brisk, Wong said.

“This year there’s more visitors,” she said. “The traffi c of people—you don’t see that traffi c anywhere. It’s very good for a startup business.”

‘Those pansies might not last very long,”

my neighbour sug-gested the other day, visiting us from next door, “We’ve got a bit of a rat problem.”

Apparently, there’s a rodent with a posh life on the West End of Richmond. This critter has made a nest in our neighbour’s hot tub cover and saunters around at night, nibbling on tender edibles—namely his wife’s carnations and tomato plants.

Now rats and humans have a long and testy relationship. Humans have accused rats of doing ev-erything from biting babies in their cribs to spreading the bubonic plague to deci-mating indigenous species of birds. Writer William Stolzenburg recently re-ferred to them as “biologi-cal bombs.” Indeed.

Rats are indeed intel-ligent opportunists. The brown rat has spread to all corners of the earth (except Alberta and Antarc-tica) and is considered the most successful mammal after humans. It can swim for hours, travel miles in pursuit of food, and has fi ve litters of “kittens” a year. The more I read about them, the more I fi nd them

fascinating.They are admirable crea-

tures, but not ones I’d nec-essarily want in my garden or house for that matter. For one, they can spread hantavirus, a disease that can be fatal.

What to do? My el-derly dog is of no use (she wouldn’t even be able to see the rats let alone chase them) and my indoor cat would likely end up as racoon or coyote kibble if left outdoors overnight.

I scattered wet kitty litter around the garden (eww, I know) in hopes that a feline threat would keep them at bay. Who knows, maybe the rat wouldn’t attack my little garden, preferring the neighbour’s carnations.

But no. The next morning brought with it fl oral dev-astation. Stumps of fl owers littered the garden. Those sunny pansy blooms we’d planted for brightening up our summer salads were all gone. Interestingly, only the maroon pansies were left. Were they less tasty

or was it sort of a yellow-versus-red-M&M thing for rats?

Clearly the kitty litter idea didn’t work. Are there people that would rent out their cats or terrier for rat work? I wonder. I missed my old cat, Fergus, who was a ratter and an outdoor cat before this became unfashionable and cruel. What would be my

next step of e-RAT-ication?This morning I woke up

to no pansies whatso-ever. I guess the maroon pansies taste OK if they are the only things left. I was delighted to see that my tomatoes and lettuces were still intact but for how long? Would they become tomorrow’s casualties?

My neighbour mentioned calling a rat extermina-tor. Apparently their store-bought traps aren’t working. I’ll have to either abandon my garden or else join forces against the second most successful mammals on earth (and possibly more intelligent.)

Full out e-RAT-ication begins tomorrow, making it safe for West Richmond gardens everywhere—or at least on my block.

EDITORIAL: Ilich demonstrated love of humankind

A startling announce-ment this week by the Royal Columbian

Hospital Foundation proved that philanthropy—even when encouraged with a chance to win a prize home—is challenging to cultivate.

The foundation lost $3 million in its inaugural vacation home lottery. Nearly two-thirds of the 120,000 $100 tickets went unsold.

Against the backdrop of the an-nouncement were quiet prepara-tions for the celebration of Milan Ilich’s life today. Ilich proved him-self a philanthropist—rarely with words, but always with action.

He willingly gave so much for so many. He led by example in a world that constantly needs reminders of the need to lend a helping hand to others.

In the case of Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation, it’s attempt-ing to raise money for a much-needed hospital expansion. Donor dollars are tight at a time when it seems an endless number of hands are stretched out. Chari-ties, Scout troops, places of wor-ship, sports teams, schools, arts groups and many others are all asking for help.

So Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation offi cials took the deci-sion to launch a new prize home lottery. But like the Richmond Hospital Foundation had already discovered, asking for donations while offering fancy prize pack-ages isn’t a guaranteed success.

In fact, lotteries can be a real money-loser for an organizer.

For Ilich, a longtime Richmond developer who died June 29 of acute myeloid leukemia, it wasn’t the promise of prizes that attract-ed him to the Richmond Hospital Foundation, one of many benefac-tors of the Milan and Maureen

Ilich Foundation.Later in life, Ilich became more

acutely aware of the need to give back. He had the fi nancial means, but also the ability to lend his expertise to community groups as an accomplished businessman.

Ilich shied away from the spot-light, but through quiet actions,

he fi t the defi nition of philan-thropy.

Oxford defi nes it as an effort to promote the happiness and well-being of one’s fellow people.

At its heart, philanthropy is a love of humankind, and Ilich demonstrated—for Richmond—he had lots to go around.

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.

2952

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.

Why not be good neighbours?Editor:

Re: letter written to the editor by Pricilla Chung about recovery home won’t hurt “hood.”

The above mentioned letter was anti-recovery house.Is there ever an ideal site for a recovery house? Is there really a Richmond neighbourhood where you

could place a recovery house that wouldn’t be too close to a school?

Is there a proper place for the house in a poorer neigh-bourhood?

Do areas where the housing prices are not quite as high as Steveston not care just as much about their children’s ongoing and future education?

If neighbours would just embrace the recovery house, maybe their children would have the opportunity to get an education about acceptance and tolerance and a chance to volunteer by giving to those less fortunate.

Would we be better off not offering any recovery? What would the results look like?

Bake some cookies and welcome some new neigh-bours!

Ann GreenSteveston

lettersRecovery homes workEditor:

The assertions, assumptions and other prejudicial claims in Mr. Mendoza's recent letter question-ing the effi cacy of drug and alcohol treatment is completely without foundation in reality or fact, let alone any science he purports to understand.

People affl icted by substance abuse are not foreign to Richmond's neighbourhoods. Their strug-gles begin in homes in neighbourhoods where I live and where Mr. Mendoza lives. Thankfully, treatment and recovery programs have existed in countless communities worldwide, including Richmond. We don't need to argue about the science that might be applied to evaluate their effectiveness. Thousands in Richmond live clean and sober lives today after ending their struggles with addiction after being able to access community-based treatment and recovery programs.

I volunteer on the board of a 40-year-old national residential substance abuse treatment program that has saved thousands of lives across Canada. I have seen fi rsthand the inspiring work they have done here in B.C. in recent years helping a large number of young people end their addiction and embrace life to it's fullest.

As a fourth-generation resident of this wonderfully diverse and caring community, I remain hopeful that the fear-mongering and prejudice displayed by people who have attitudes similar to Mr. Mendoza will not ever eclipse the caring, resourcefulness and common sense of a citizenry that has made this place what it is.

Bob Ransford, Richmond

Stop by a Turning Point houseEditor:

Ernie Mendoza’s recent letter decrying the efforts of Turning Point Recovery Society is a shameful and ignorant mess.

Here is Mr. Mendoza’s most unknowing statement: “The grim reality is that no social program here in Richmond and anywhere in the world has resulted in successfully minimizing or eliminating the tragic consequences and miseries of substance abuse.”

Turning Point itself has been turning out clean and sober citizens for just under 30 years now.

Add to that local, provincial and national programs such as Welcome Home, Innervisions, Pacifi ca, Avalon, West-minster House, Baldy Hughes, Portage (in three provinces for 40 years), Behavioural Health Foundation (celebrating its 40th this September) and a few dozen more private, profi t, non-profi t and public treatment programs. None of these programs has any record of discord with their local communities. All of these programs together have accu-mulated millions of Clean Living Days with their resident and graduating clients.

These highly effective and dedicated programs are mir-rored worldwide in most countries.

Mr. Mendoza knows not of where he speaks, and, worse, he couches his questionable, prejudicial argu-ments in the language of pseudo-science, the second oldest trick in the book.

Here is my recommendation. Stop by a Turning Point house. Meet the people. Have a coffee. Engage.

Your fear will be replaced by admiration and support.David Berner, Executive Director

BIRTHDAY PARTIES

OUR SPECIALTY

Editor:Milan Ilich has been called a

man who made dreams a reality. Certainly for Richmond Caring Place he was that and more.

More than 20 years ago a dedi-cated group of Richmond resi-dents dreamed of a place where agencies and organizations, that helped people in need, could have a well-designed and centrally located building in which to deliver services and care for people. Seventeen years ago that building opened its doors and each and every day its 12 social service tenant agencies provide services and support to Richmond residents.

The doors to Richmond Caring Place would never have opened or even been built if it had not been for the gener-ous support of Milan Ilich and his wife Maureen. They believed in the dream and through their generosity and commitment it became a reality. Their love for this com-munity is defi nitely evident in Richmond Caring Place.

I once had the pleasure of seeing Milan’s collection of frog-themed items that decorated his offi ce. It seemed to me very appropriate that he collected frogs. Frogs act like a compass for our ecosystems and

quietly tell the world that there is a problem that needs to be fi xed. Milan Ilich quietly recognized problems that needed to be fi xed and understood the need to intervene. He effectively set about fi xing those problems by helping individuals and organizations, making his community and this world a better place. The Rich-

mond Caring Place board of directors, the staff, the tenants and the community of Richmond owe our gratitude to Milan Ilich for his forward thinking and his generosity.

For the past 17 years Richmond Caring Place has been an important part of this community. As the board plans for expan-sion to meet the needs of our growing community we will seek support from people in our community that feel com-pelled to make dreams come true.

Richmond Caring Place will be honour-ing Mr. Ilich by planting a tree on the grounds of Richmond Caring Place. It will be a strong tree that will grow tall and remind us that he was truly a giant in our community who provided his support to those in need allowing us all to grow in a community of caring.

Editor:Things are happening

in Richmond, late at night and you could be the next victim. This is your warning.

I noticed as soon as I pulled into my driveway, something was amiss. My fi rst reaction was to

blame my husband, what had happened? He knew nothing about it. He was as shocked as I was. There had to be some explana-tion for this invasion of our property and the theft while we apparently were home sleeping in our bedroom.

Our new neighbours were totally baffl ed and one commented how she had admired our house because of it. There was a gathering over the next

few days with our neigh-bours coming to our house to witness what had transpired and all of them had never heard of anyone doing anything like this before. My husband wanted to call the RCMP but what were they suppose to do? We could call the City of Richmond and perhaps ask them for guidance in the future which we did. Seems this situation was a total surprise to

them as well. No, they had never heard of this happening in Richmond before.

I went to the Internet hoping to track down why someone would come into our security and rob us like that? I was going to fi nd out if there could be another explanation. I googled and the answers I got back were disturbing. No it wasn’t a vole, mole, muskrat, deer, rabbit, rac-coon or anything else on

four legs that snuck onto our property in the middle of the night and robbed us. It had to something with two legs.

Our neighbourhood is wondering if the perpetra-tor will come back and vic-timize them. My son said we should install security

cameras on the perimeter of our house but I refuse. The RCMP can’t help us.

So to those people or person who snuck into our yard and cut our entire fl owering three-foot hosta plant to the ground—you didn’t leave one stem so you must have had a

rather large bundle—why? Has anyone else had their entire hosta plants cut to the ground and taken? Holy hosta, Robin, are there hosta hustlers hov-ering in Richmond now?

Richmond

Summer is my absolute favourite season to shop for new clothes since the shapes are more fun and the colours

are brighter. Even though short-sleeved blouses and shorts are cheaper than chunky winter sweaters, it’s still hard to happily update my wardrobe without breaking the bank. As mentioned in previous columns, accessorizing is one very inexpensive alternative and tailoring or altering is another option to update clothes you already own. I also have friends who always lighten their hair colour or get a fresh haircut for the warmer weather. However, if the need for something new(ish) still lingers in the back of your mind, try heading to your nearest thrift store.

Thrift shopping can be pretty daunting at first, but with these tips, shopping at thrift

stores will get easier and even fun! • Be in a scavenging mood and have lots of

time to peruse. • Never look for something specific because

you’ll never find it. (I needed photos of thrifted summer pieces, but ironically, ended up with a black heavy wool sweater and a pair of taupe leather boots.)

• Bring a stylish friend to prevent you from buying a scary outfit straight from the 80’s. ‘Nuff said.

• Look at every sized section. You may find an item in a beautiful fabric that doesn’t fit properly, but it can be tailored, chopped, or completely restructured into a new garment. I thought about chopping off the crazy tapered legs of these high-waisted, mom jeans by Levi’s (see photo) to make relaxed boyfriend shorts, but the waist was too small.

Altering thrift clothes like these Levi’s jeans can help you find that budget summer item.

• Only buy things if you love them, not because they’re

cheap. (At thrift store prices it’s so hard to resist!) If it screams 80’s or 90’s to you, you’ll never be able to wear it in a current way.

A few of this season’s trends can easily be found in thrift stores; it just takes a little looking and a lot of debate.

COLOR BLOCK Try these saturated hues on everything from tops, bottoms, accessories and shoes. And don’t be afraid to layer multiple vivid colors for an even bolder effect.

70’s SOPHISTICATE The 70’s are back in a big way — bellbottoms, halter tops and all master the look with high waisted wide-leg pants or flares, a billowing silk top tucked in, topped with a smart, skinny belt and layered beaded necklaces.

must haves

COLOUR BLOCKING: Since thrift stores aren’t limited by trend forecasting, they offer any colour imaginable including this season’s hottest colours: tangerine orange, fuschia pink and crisp white. Avoid knits which show wear more quickly and search for pieces in woven fabrics such as silk or cotton. Become familiar with true quality fabrics and feel items for drape, softness and smooth texture. Leave items that have signs of wear such as pilling or worn-down fabric because this distracts from the beauty of the garment’s design.

DOUBLE DENIM: For easy summer outfit ideas, look to designers such as Stella McCartney, Derek Lam, and Celine who all had modern looks consisting entirely of denim. Denim can be found in any section of thrift stores from jackets to jeans to button-up shirts. This shopping trip, I was hoping to find a relaxed denim shirt or shirtdress to wear unbuttoned and belted over tunics, but no such luck. (See, I was looking for something specific and did not find it!)

MID-CALF SKIRTS: With the 70’s being a huge influence on Spring/Summer 2011 runways, it was expected that full mid-calf skirts in pleats, chiffon, or silk were frequently showcased. See collections by Fendi and Chloé for inspiration pieces to pair with your mid-calf skirt. This type of skirt is perfectly breezy for the summer, but can transition into the fall when worn with knee high boots and thick tights. Since these skirts could be worn high-waisted with a belt, look in both your size section and the next size up.

ACCESSORIES: If you’re new to thrift shopping, search for this season’s hottest accessories such as mini satchel bags, crescent or choker necklaces, or minimalist metal cuffs. Again, look for signs of wear such as rust or chipped metal finishes. Go with minimalist designs to stay safe or look for details that you love, but are still modern. Adding a thrifted, vintage accessory to pieces from your current wardrobe will add a unique artistic flair to your outfit.

Other Spring/Summer trends to look out for while thrifting are: sheer fabrics, stripes, snakeskin prints, loose pants such as palazzo pants, flares or bell bottom jeans.

This summer season offers multiple trends that can be effortlessly re-created and incorporated into your wardrobe through a variety of ways. Looking at fashion magazines or websites online will give you an idea of what to look for when budget-conscious shopping. In the end, the process can be rewarding to find a deal without sacrificing style! See photos of my other thrift store buys

Badminton ace won’t rest on his laurels

by Don FennellSports Editor

Sweden’s No. 1 men’s singles badminton player isn’t comfortable resting on his laurels.

With only 371 days until the opening of the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London, England, just about everything Henri Hurskainen does is cen-tred around securing a spot on the Swedish team. That includes a carefully-orchestrated

schedule that this week sees him playing in the 2011 Yonex Canada Open, on through Sunday, at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

“We had planned to play in the Singapore Open (in June), but felt with my world ranking (46th) it was probably better to play in the U.S. and Canadian opens, giv-ing me a better chance to go further in the com-petition and get more qualifying points for the

Olympics,” he said.Hurskainen, 25, won

his fi rst two matches at the U.S. Open last week in Orange County, Calif. over Canada’s Sergiy Shatenko (29-9, 21-8) and England’s Rajiv Ouseph (21-18, 14-21, 21-13) before bowing to the world’s 45th-ranked player in Taiwan’s Hsuan

Yi Hsueh (22-20, 21-17). Ranked ninth in the Can-ada Open, Hurskainen needed only 23 minutes to eliminate Austria’s Da-vid Obernosterer (21-7, 21-11) in fi rst-round play Wednesday, and antici-pated a possible show-down with Marc Zwiebler of Germany (the world’s No. 16-ranked player) later in the tournament.

Hurskainen, who with his blue eyes, red hair and beard bears a strik-ing resemblance to Van-

couver Canucks twins Henrik and Daniel Sedin, spends upwards of six hours a day honing his skills. But he said there is still plenty of room for improvement.

“I’m particularly work-ing on getting a lot faster and explosive,” he said. “Men’s singles play is getting more and more (noted for) that kind of play. You have to (keep up) because everyone is so good now.”

Car Surfi ng, and Other Bad IdeasOf the four main

factors infl uencing road safety: roadway and traffi c engineering, automotive engineering, driver performance, and driver behaviour, changes in driver behaviour are considered the most important. Understanding how human behaviour can be changed is therefore key to reducing the risk of harm on our roads. Dr. Leonard Evans, the author of Traffi c Safety (Science Serving Society, 2004) and our favourite traffi c safety expert proposes four types of infl uence on driver behaviour: • fear of adverse consequences. • social norms. • mass media. • legislative interventions.

Recently, we have seen at close hand examples of the latter two—for good and bad—at work.

Take the positive infl uence of recent legislative intervention. In British Columbia in September 2010, the laws regulating drinking and driving changed in two ways: the fi rst reinforced a blood alcohol content of .05 as a threshold for legal consequences; the second made these consequences immediate—impaired drivers are separated at the roadside from their cars and their licenses—and effective enough to deter repetition by making the recovery costs both time-wise and moneywise signifi cant. The government’s goal was to reduce drunk-driving fatalities by a third in three years.

The fi rst sign of effectiveness was an almost immediate business decline for bar and restaurant owners. The second was the statistics: between October 2010 and April 2011, with more than 10,000 vehicle impoundments throughout BC, there were 30 impaired driving fatalities, compared to the

prior fi ve-year average for the same period of 61 fatalities. Likewise in the fi rst six months of 2011, in the lower mainland, there were seven impaired driving fatalities compared to the prior fi ve-year average for the same period of 21 fatalities. RCMP Superintendent Norm Gaumont, head of Lower Mainland District

Traffi c Services said, “I can’t think of any other legislation where we saw such an immediate change in driving behaviour.”

Mass media infl uence can be harder to pinpoint. The recent death of a young BC man - age 21 - from the head injuries he suffered after falling off a moving car on which he was balancing in a surfi ng-like stance was the second recent car-surfi ng tragedy in BC. Car surfi ng is a stunt reportedly fi rst performed in the 1985 movie Teen Wolf and then in the Jackass movie series, in Grand Theft Auto video games, and in YouTube clips.

Neurosurgeons at Case Western University School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio reportedly found that spikes in car-surfi ng injuries during the past decade neatly overlapped with the release of the above-mentioned depictions. In trying to understand why teens undertake such risky behaviors, they concluded that, as one reporter summarized it, “while some stupidity among teenagers is to be expected, really, really stupid ideas come from the popular media.”

Albert Einstein is said to have noted that “one difference between genius and stupidity is that stupidity has no limits”.

…by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffi n, LL.B.

The Richmond Roadrun-ner Peewee A2 lacrosse team captured second place honours at the pro-vincial lacrosse champion-ships July 8-10 in Vernon.

The Roadrunners were

3-0 in pool play, beating the host North Okanagan 9-4 in the opening game, followed by an impressive 13-4 victory over a strong Abbotsford team and then overcoming a 5-3 defi cit to

defeat Nainamo 6- in over-time.

In the playoff round, the Roadrunners beat the fa-voured Surrey Rebels 10-8 in the semifi nals to reach the title game against Lan-

gley. In the gold medal game,

Richmond trailed 2-0 early but battled back to take a 3-2 lead late in the second period. However, Langley capitalized on some un-timely penalties and used their superior talent to pull away to a 12-6 victory.

“The boys’ put out a re-ally good effort and came together at the right time,” explained proud head coach Rod Jensen. “With a few lucky breaks here and there, I think we could have taken Langley right down to the wire.” Overall, the team had some great individual achievements as well. The offence was led by tourna-ment all-star and MVP Josh Bourne, who compiled 18 goals over the fi ve game tournament. Two-time game MVP Ryan Jensen scored 12 goals and added 10 assists. Other offensive contributions came from Hunter Van Hest, Mitchell Lavoie, Jordan Sandhu, Kyle Alhfi eld, Brock Jung and Jordan Roberts.

The defence was led by fi rst-year goalie Sam Loe-wen, who also won a game MVP award.

“It is truly amazing that a fi rst year goalie could per-form at this level under the extreme pressure,” coach Jensen said.

The big, athletic defence consisted of Dorrin Luding, Taylor Dudlets, Connor Sex-smith, Callum MacBeth, Graham Lynn (who won the tournament’s Fair Play Award) and Justin Pres-ton.

“We were by far the most athletic and aggres-sive team,” said assistant coach Roy Van Hest. “To have such a small associa-tion and achieve the silver clearly shows the character and determination of this group of boys.”

Most of the tourna-ment’s other top play-ers also breezed to vic-tories in the opening round, including No. 1 seed and world No. 4 Taufik Hidayat of In-donesia who defeated Anthony Dumartheray of Switzerland (21-16, 21-13).

Among the Canadians, Stephan Wojcikiewicz of Ottawa (Canada’s high-est-ranked player at No. 63) edged out Mahmoud Elsayaad of Egypt (12-21, 21-17, 21-18) and Michele Li of Toronto (ranked No. 40 in the world) fought through a tough opening round match in women’s sin-gles play against Peru’s Christina Aicardi (21-12, 21-14).

“I just have to get my best level out,” said Li. “When I do that it is dif-ficult for opponents to handle my attack.”

by Don FennellSports Editor

The preparation is done, and now it’s up to the players to show what they’ve learned is enough to garner one of three berths to the nationals.

That’s what’s on the line beginning today (Friday) through Sunday at Lon-don Park, as the Richmond Islanders 95A girls’ fastpitch team hosts the provincial Bantam A Division cham-

pionships.The Islanders looked impressive in

their fi nal tune up, placing third in the Showcase Division (under-16) at last week’s Canadian Open at Softball City. Richmond lost out reaching the fi nal by a single run, losing to Abbotsford Outlaws 7-6 in extra innings. Earlier, they lost 10-0 to eventual-champion Hawaii but doubled second-place fi n-isher Arizona Cats 4-2 and also topped the White Rock Renegades.

Host Islanders have high hopes at provincials

Richmond’s Raymond Sawada is returning to the Dallas Stars.

Sawada, 26, inked a one-year, two-way con-tract.

The 6-2, 207-pound right winger played one game with Stars last sea-son and in 57 games for Dallas’ top affi liate, Texas Stars had 29 points. He had fi ve assits in six play-off games.

Sawada re-signs with Dallas

Motor enthusiast Hon Chan of Richmond is passionate about keeping his car clean from the inside out. To prove it, he posed alongside his favourite ride, a 2010 Infi niti G37x, with the hood up to show off his clean engine and entered the photo into the Shell V-Power “Fuel My Passion” contest. That photo earned Chan the most votes in the online contest and the grand prize of Shell V-Power Premium Fuel for fi ve years.

Wayne Emde photoArmy Cadet Antonio Hurtado-Gomez of Richmond, B.C. refi lls the water jug of one of the 1,200 riders who took part in the 115-kilometre RBC GranFondo Kel-owna on the weekend.
