by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

A Surrey woman’s four-month battle to reclaim her stolen iPhone4 from the Apple Store at Rich-mond Centre appears to be nearing a positive con-clusion.

But her frustrating expe-rience involving a stone-walled Richmond Mountie and an unco-operative Apple Store manager has exposed a potential head-ache for all other owners of Apple products who are victimized by thieves.

Surrey’s Nicolette Olson contacted The Richmond Review this week, at wit’s end after learning four months ago that the iP-hone4 that was stolen from her home last October, was in the hands of a manager at the Apple Store in Rich-mond.

Despite turning to po-lice, which attempted to retrieve the stolen item to no avail, and pleading her case directly to Apple, she found herself no closer to reclaiming what was right-fully hers.

Olson’s roller coaster ride began during her 19-year-old son’s birthday party

held at her home in October. She set down her iPhone on a tray of food she’d been carrying, then forgot about it, only to return a half hour later to fi nd that it had dis-appeared.

She had her suspicions of who took the phone, along with some other missing electronics, but had no proof.

She reported the theft to Surrey RCMP and Telus, her cellphone service provider, and that seemed to be the end of the story.

That was until the after-noon of Feb. 7, when she checked her e-mail and found one message from Apple’s warranty depart-ment, indicating her phone repair was done at the Rich-mond store.

Puzzled, she called the store, and an employee confi rmed the phone was there.

Someone had apparently brought the iPhone in be-cause it wasn’t working, but the store didn’t check identifi cation.

What’s more, not only was the stolen phone collected for repair, but a new iPhone was handed to the thief. No questions asked.

Seung-Chul Baik photoB.C. Hydro plans to decommission the Granville Avenue substation, which is surrounded by condos.

Granville facility to be decommissioned by 2015

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

For the growing number of condo residents who live around the B.C. Hydro substation on Granville Avenue near St. Albans Road, the constant hum of electricity fl owing through a myriad of transformers is an annoyance they simply have come to live with.

But relief appears in sight.The Richmond Review has learned that B.C. Hydro plans

to decommission the substation by 2015, meaning the 2.2-acre property, currently zoned school/institutional, could eventually be put up for sale. The substation sits on two parcels of land: 8520 Anderson Rd. and 8511 Granville Ave.

On Friday, @realcitylife tweeted: “decommissioning of power plant in Richmond, BC near Granville & Garden City—Fact or Rumour?”

The Review initially made a query at city hall, where a staffer referenced a document about the substation, suggesting there was some substance to the query.

On Monday, B.C. Hydro’s Donna McGeachie confi rmed current plans to eventually take the plant out of ser-vice.

One former resident and one current one of the adjacent townhouse complex west of the substation, welcomed the news.

“It can only be good for the neighbourhood,” said the current resident, who has lived there for 19 years. She asked that her name not be published.

“It did make us hesitate,” she said about the substa-tion’s proximity to her townhouse.

Whispers about the substation’s removal had residents talking.

“I did hear some rumblings. It can’t be a bad thing.”

But with all of the high-density residential development that’s replaced what was once a “countrifi ed” area, she’s eager to get out.

And she wonders why the City of Richmond would permit so much family housing directly around a substation, which carries the spectre of a potential health hazard.

A former resident, who wished to remain anonymous, said she sold her unit last year after 17 years of living adjacent to the substation. She was happy for her former neighbours.

She said she never noticed the substation when she initially bought her townhouse, but said when she sold it last year, the substation’s presence affected its value.

The problem with the substation is that it’s reaching its capacity, said McGeachie, B.C. Hydro’s manager of stakeholder relations.

Additional distribution equipment will be added to the Kidd 2 substation as part of a multi-million-dollar upgrade at the River and No. 4 road location by the fall of 2012, after which distribution lines which feed homes and businesses will be redone. Adding the new lines could take up to three years, she said.

The Kidd 2 substation has plenty of space for the up-grade, and its footprint won’t change, she said.

The Richmond substation serves thousands of custom-ers and sits on land owned by B.C. Hydro.

McGeachie said it’s very rare to close a substation, but when that happens, it’s B.C. Hydro Properties that decides on what to do with the land.

She doubts the central Richmond property, currently assessed at $6.8 million, would be used to either service or park B.C. Hydro’s vehicle fl eet.

One resident of the townhouse complex Space Style, 6860 Eckersley Rd., welcomed the news that the nearby substation’s days are numbered.

“Very happy,” the man said in broken English.The decision to decommission the substation came

in 2008, when B.C. Hydro realized it needed to upgrade Richmond’s electrical supply. The alterations were ap-proved by the regulator in 2009.

Martin van den Hemel photoPolice surrounded an apartment at Sussex Square early Tuesday evening af-ter a shot was fi red in the area earlier in the afternoon.

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

Police negotiators managed to con-vince a man and a woman in their 30s to willingly come out of a ground-fl oor apartment at Sussex Square early Tues-day evening after a shot was fi red in the area earlier in the afternoon.

Around 1:30 p.m., Richmond RCMP responded to a disturbance call on the 7200 block of Lindsay Road, Richmond RCMP Insp. Janis Gray said.

When police arrived at the scene, a single shot was fi red, but not by police, Gray said.

As a result, police evacuated nearby residences and instituted a lockdown at two nearby schools (J.N Burnett Second-ary and Donald E. McKay Elementary) for the safety of children who might be living in the sprawling condo complex near Granville and Railway.

Gray said a man who is known to po-lice was taken into custody. Police are still interviewing the woman who was with them.

There were no children involved, Gray said.

Asked if a weapon has been recovered, Gray said Tuesday evening that police had not yet completed the search of the ground-fl oor apartment where the man and woman had been holed up.

Gray said police are continuing their

investigation, and still aren’t saying whether this was ever a hostage situ-ation.

Police cancelled a lockdown at J.N. Burnett Secondary around 4 p.m., as dozens of RCMP offi cers concentrated their efforts at Sussex Square apart-ments nearby.

A helicopter was seen fl ying overhead an area west of Donald E. McKay Elemen-tary, as emergency response team mem-bers continued to deal with what could be a hostage situation.

The area was surrounded by police tape, and nearby roads were blocked for hours to traffi c.

A resident of Sussex Square, a sprawl-ing apartment complex, told The Rich-mond Review there was a confrontation between two people at the complex be-fore police descended on the scene.

Earlier, Gray told reporters there was no threat to the general public, and that police were in control of the scene.

Sussex Square is a multi-building apart-ment complex on Lindsay Road.

Some offi cers were seen holding their shotguns as residents walked by.

Students at Burnett had been told to stay in their classrooms, and blinds were drawn. At 3 p.m., as their parents waited outside the area cordoned off by police and wondered why so many police cars were in the area, students communicated with their parents via cell phone.

Man in custody after standoff in Richmond

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

Richmond RCMP have confi rmed that human remains were found on the 17000 block of Portside Road, south of Westminster Highway and No. 8 Road in East Richmond on Monday morning.

How those remains got there is

now a focus of the police inves-tigation.

An employee of Fraser River Pile and Dredge reported that he had located a jawbone while inspect-ing a pile of sand that had been brought to the area for a construc-tion project, Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said.

“The jawbone was located on

the top of the sand and does have teeth intact. The coroner was con-tacted at which time we were able to confi rm that the jawbone is in fact human,” she said.

RCMP Insp. Janis Gray said it’s not known if the remains were brought to the area by an animal, perhaps a bird, or if it was dredged up from the river bed.

Human remains discovered on sand pile

Though the event was much smaller than what was originally planned, Ships to Shore Steveston 2011 proved to be a much bigger draw than city staff expected.

An estimated 40,000 people at-tended the four-day event at Garry Point Park to see four tall ships, much more than the original city projection of 25,000 people, City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend said.

Although it was a little cool along the water, the blue sunny skies made for a majestic weekend.

Feedback from all involved has been positive, Townsend said.

“We cannot thank you enough for your incredible hospitality,” wrote Catherine Collins, executive direc-tor of the non-profi t environmental education group Sound Experience, which runs the tall ship Adventur-ess.

From spectators to ship crews, it appeared all involved enjoyed them-selves.

Combined with the Steveston Farm-ers and Artisans Market on Saturday and Sunday, the Ships to Shore Ste-veston lived up to expectations.

The city’s plan to generate a corridor for visitors to stroll between Garry Point and Steveston Village worked well, Townsend said.

Working towards less wasteCheck out the City’s current and future recycling and solid waste management plans

Did you know that Richmond residents currently recycle about 50

per cent of our waste? That is a great statistic, considering as little as 20 years ago, everything was considered garbage.

The City has written a document titled “Report 2010: Towards excellence in recycling and solid waste management” which outlines what we are already doing and has information regarding programs and places to take recycling. It also sets out future goals and programs that will achieve them.

Richmond has a new goal of 70 per cent waste diversion by 2015, increasing to 80 per cent by 2020. These targets are achievable, but we must all work together to weed out remaining materials in the waste stream.

For more information and to view Report 2010: Towards excellence in recycling and solid waste management, visit www.richmond.ca/recycle.

Water sprinkling regulationsJune 1 – September 30

During the summer months, City of Richmond residents are reminded

of lawn sprinkling regulations in effect throughout Metro Vancouver. This year, from June 1 to September 30, lawn sprinkling is allowed only in the mornings from 4:00 – 9:00 a.m. on the following days:• Even-numbered addresses may

sprinkle Monday, Wednesday or Saturday.

• Odd-numbered addresses may sprinkle Tuesday, Thursday or Sunday.

While these regulations apply only to lawns, residents and businesses are encouraged to always think

about water conservation, especially during the peak demand period of summer.

Block watchWork together to keep your neighbourhood safe

Block Watch is a free, community-based, crime prevention program aimed

at helping residents organize their neighbourhoods to help prevent crime in the community.

For more information, please contact the Richmond RCMP Crime Prevention office at 604-207-4790 or visit www.richmond.ca/blockwatch. For home security tips, visit www.richmond.ca/homesafety.

City offers online options for property taxesTaxes and grants due July 4

With Canada Post employees participating in rotating strikes, the City

of Richmond reminds property owners of a quick and easy way to pay their taxes and claim a home owner grant – online. No more stamps, no more driving to City Hall and standing in line. Taxes and grant claims are due at the City by Monday, July 4.

Home Owner Grants can be claimed on the City of Richmond’s secure website at www.richmond.ca. Go to the “Pay & Purchase” tab on the homepage. Enter the unique folio number and access code located on the tax statement. Once the grant is submitted, a confirmation number will be displayed immediately.

A record year for development appears unlikely to be matched in 2011.

According to a new fi nance department report, the city issued 335 building permits in the fi rst quarter, a slight drop from 348 in the same period in 2010. Building permit revenues are also down, as are development applications and housing starts.

But the value of the construction that is

occurring, such as the high-end condomini-ums of River Green—is up. In the fi rst three months of 2011, building permits carried a construction value of $97.6 million, com-pared to $88.5 million last year.

In 2010 Richmond issued a record $813 million in building permits, crushing the pre-vious record set in 2006 of $680 million. Ob-servers pointed to the Canada Line, Olympics and a redrafting of the City Centre area plan as keys to the city’s economic rebound.

Housing starts in the fi rst quarter have fall-

en to 178, compared to last year’s 371. So far this year, just 54 units have been added to Richmond’s housing stock, compared to 219 from last year—a 75 per cent drop.

Gaming revenue, however, hasn’t suffered any setbacks. Year-to-date revenues for the city total $3.6 million—14.2 per cent higher than the previous year.

Staff suggest revenues at the casino have been growing since the opening of the Can-ada Line and the recent redevelopment of the resort.

Development dips, gaming clicks

City council is mulling how to spend $2,452,800 in cash remaining from last year’s budget.

The surplus is actually higher, but council already used some of the left-over cash to balance this year’s bud-get. RCMP contract savings and a boon in development revenue—thanks in large part to a hike in development cost charges that developers rushed to beat—are the city’s two biggest sources

that left the fi nance department with more money than it spent.

On Monday, city staff presented its wish list of 23 projects totalling $2.5 million. Among them: $200,000 for a dyke master plan to forecast long-term upgrades to meet “rising sea levels and seismic concerns,” $145,000 to manu-ally fi ght weeds in the wake of council passing a bylaw banning pesticides, and $100,000 to develop a new noise bylaw.

City council has yet to approve any of the recommended projects.

Like most patriotic sports fans, my family has been

glued to the televi-sion on game night.

These playoffs have coincided with the fi rst stretch of good weather and for me, catching up on weeding and trying to get my garden in, have pulled me in outside.

I will often lose myself for hours in the garden, especially when work has been stressful. Nothing beats the satisfaction of pulling out a thistle after a hard day’s work. If my kids join me, we’ll go on ladybug hunts or try to

fi nd the bugs inside the “spit” that’s all over the lavender right now.

On one such game night/gardening session, I had meant to stop work-ing outside in time to run over to the bank to cash a couple of cheques. Losing all track of time, I glanced at my watch at 10 minutes to closing and dropped everything to rush over before the doors closed

While I was out, I fi gured that I might as well pick up some groceries. So, by the time I returned, the game was well underway.

Normally, by this point, a tall ship could have parked itself in our driveway and my husband and kids wouldn’t have noticed. That’s how en-grossed they are, watch-ing the box. I’m told that’s the norm for most hockey fans.

This time, as I walked into view, I actually got an eyebrow raise from my husband and my eldest daughter blurted out “You went to the bank looking like that?!” Apparently, I

was quite a sightThere was dirt on my

pants and my shirt, and my fi ngernails were crusted in soil (I have a hard time keeping track of where I leave gloves). I had managed to smear dirt across my forehead too. But the crowning achievement in my “look” was the piece of thistle that had lodged itself in my hair.

My family, by now, had switched their attention back to the TV but I still got a shaking of heads and a couple of eye rolls. Apparently, I was sup-posed to be mortifi ed at the way I looked and I wasn’t showing any sign of it. In fact, quite the op-posite. I’m a gardener and damn proud of it!!

Growing food is a noble profession and yet we constantly try to hide the fact that we work with our hands, outside, in the soil. I love being able to identify gardeners and farmers. It’s like meeting members of your tribe.

But, there’s that unwrit-

ten code that in public, you sanitize yourself of any association with physical work.

Be it growing food, fi shing, construction, or any trade that requires manual labour, we don’t want to associate our-selves with it.

Why not? I would hope that as awareness of how important these skills increases, we look to the people who raise our food and build our houses and roads with pride. So instead of hiding the fact, we should be thankful they’re around.

The Canucks fans may have their jerseys and car fl ags, but after hockey season fades, I’ll still be in my gardening wear. And, if you see me out and about with streaks of dirt all over myself, smile at my uniform. I wear it with pride.

Wearing my gardening uniform with pride

Mixed results when old meets newThose motoring by

Richmond’s infamous intersection at Gran-

ville Avenue and Garden City Road won’t see the sign, but metaphorically, it’s there for planners to ponder.

Caution—old Richmond ahead. A B.C. Hydro power substation

is being decommissioned at the City Centre corner, just in time for future residents who bought apartments being built around it. Crisis averted.

All across the city, old Richmond is meeting new Richmond with mixed results.

In South Richmond, townhouse dwellers learned the downside of living next to a light industrial warehouse. Generators at True World Foods hum to no end much to the dismay of those who live in new homes facing it.

In Brighouse, the wheels con-tinue to turn in providing concrete legislative relief for businesses suffering under heavy property taxes. The high tax bills began coming years ago after the city introduced a new area plan that opened up a once light-industrial hub to high-density residential—a zoning potential that turns ordi-nary lots into multi-million dollar parcels.

In City Centre, high-rises now stand downwind of the Grimm’s Fine Foods smokestack. It’s only a matter of time before residents rise up against this smoky busi-

ness, long established before their homes were built.

Across the city—especially in North and West Richmond—is aircraft noise. Development is hap-pening in the area at record pace, despite many of the areas being exposed to aircraft noise. Airport offi cials aren’t keen on new homes under the fl ight path, warning of

trouble ahead.In East Richmond, farmland is

under threat every day, espe-cially on smaller agricultural land parcels—many being bought up by deep-pocketed speculators or investors looking to build estate homes.

All are examples of Richmond’s current shift away from a suburb

to a big city. These are the ambi-tions of those at city hall and the residents who elect them.

But what surprises are next? Careful planning is needed be-fore the city allows multi-family residential development in areas never exposed to it before.

That means a solid study of how old meets new.

Tall ships’ dark pastEditor:

The recent article regarding publicity for the tall ships is missing a very important fact. The fact that many of the original tall ships were transportation for slaves kept in deplorable conditions sailing while wait-ing for “resale” and profit in North America should be acknowledged.

Locals and tourists should be aware that tall ships are not all about glamour and a festival atmosphere. They were at times used for transporting humans in deplorable conditions. Those people forced into slavery made possible by tall ships are important to remember. Should we all consider most ac-tivities “free” when we know that there was much misery suffered and paid by people who were made slaves?

Dale T. PittsRichmond

should prepare for a government snow job on the benefi ts of keeping the HST. It will come in blizzards.

Remember how last July Colin Hanson esti-mated that the average B.C. family would pay $322 more each year? Government fl acks have recently pegged it at about $300.

This is pure 100 per cent, grade A, certifi ed bovine stool!

My family, I think, is average. I am a retired teacher on a pension. Our income is less than I would like, but we survive.

We have been keeping track of our HST costs

compared to the GST/PST combination we paid until last July 1st. As of May 19, our extra costs have been $1010.63.

There were a bunch of new taxable categories brought in by the HST. For example, my wife needs massages for back problems about every two weeks. They cost her $6 extra every time. Over-the-counter medications are now fully taxed under the HST. The repairman who fi xes our stove now must charge 12 per cent more. There are hundreds of examples like this.

No matter how Christy Clark “fi xes” the HST, we will still be voting against it.

Bob GregoryRichmond

HST is costing us more

Ships to Shore superbEditor:

I am writing to thank the village of Steveston for hosting a superb “Ships to Shore” event this past weekend. Seeing the tall ships in such close prox-imity was breathtaking.

To that end, I would like to take this opportunity to give kudos to Harold Steves, as well as Deb Robson, Matthew McBride and Matthew Millar with whom I had the pleasure of meeting. It is through their continued efforts since 2002 that we are so fortunate to have an incredible festival on our shores. Richmond is most fortunate to have such capable and hardworking group of volunteers —hats off to all of them.

(Twitter trumps all if you want to tell me your turkey sandwich

was awesome; please don’t.) The Internet costs $40 a month

and yet it only costs about $2 to send a letter around the world. That’s around the world!

And in the age of rampant Internet identity theft my mail-man clears newspapers from my

How great is that? When it matters, when it’s

important, it’s delivered by a mailman and comes in a letter.

There is a growing ap-petite for comedy that insults, says notorious Roastmaster Jeffrey Ross.

‘It’s like a public stoning’Classic insult comedian Jeffrey Ross hits River Rock

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Jeffrey Ross is walking the boardwalk in Atlantic City hours before doing a comedy show, thinking up jokes about “these people” before turning to “you people.”

Ross, a classic insult comedian, will be in Richmond Friday throw-ing punches in The Nasty Show, the fi rst of two no-holds-barred comedy nights in Metro Vancou-ver presented by Just for Laughs.

Lately, the 45-year-old funnyman has had some plum assignments.

On Monday, Ross em-ceed a roast for the rose-wielding Ashley Hebert on TV’s The Bachelorette. In March, he held court as Roastmaster General on a Comedy Central roast of Donald Trump. He also picked apart Charlie Sheen eight times as a guest on the actor’s tour.

From Page 11“It goes back to prehistoric

times. People love seeing big shots going down hard. It’s almost primitive,” said Ross in a tele-phone interview. “It’s like a public stoning almost. I feel people are very open to it, and they love to see blood.”

Ross got his start working Man-hattan comedy clubs. His career grew from years of dedication to the craft—specifi cally making fun of other people. Earning fame from roasting celebrities like William Shatner, Pamela Anderson and Hugh Hefner, Ross is now recog-nized as comedy’s main mean man with a knack for honouring people by dishonouring them.

The key to a successful roast, he says, is to never apologize. Own your material and don’t back down. And if you dish it out—be prepared to take it. He does, in-cluding on his own website where fans compete by hurling insults at an, ahem, artistically posed Ross.

Audiences, Ross says, have a growing appetite for roasts—whether jokes are targeted at people, places or things. Take

his “speed roasting” bit as an example. Ross invites audience volunteers to come on stage and be directly subjected to his insults.

“They scramble. They climb over each other to get up there. Everybody wants to be the centre of attention, even when there’s a target on their forehead,” he said. “It’s something I’ve been ex-perimenting with. It’s a little scary sometimes, especially in New Jersey, where God knows if they have guns and knives.”

In Ross’s world, everything is fair game. He simply avoids doing shows where he could offend people and takes on assignments like The Nasty Show, where the only way to offend the crowd is by being too nice.

But that leaves plenty of room for his comedy, even at funerals—if he got the call.

“In my world everything is safe. As long as the joke is well-written and funny, people are OK with it. People laugh harder at funerals than anywhere. You know how that goes, you’ll always see a bunch of people in the back laugh-ing at a funeral.”

Ross keeps a short list of notorious celebrities he’d next like to roast on Comedy Central. Diddy, Sheen, Kanye would all be Roastmaster prizes. As was Trump, who offered Ross no shortage of material.

“We could have done a whole separate roast of his hairdo,” he said. “Our Trump roast was so successful that President Obama roasted him a month later.”

FOOD: If you love food, you need to attend at least one of the breakfasts, lunches, or dinners at the 48th annual National Chefs Conference. More than 500 North American chefs will be in Vancouver from June 10-16 to test their skills, share ideas, and explore new culinary trends. The event is open to the public (www.ccfcc.eventbrite.com).

Events include:•Women in the Industry

Luncheon on June 13 at the Renaissance Hotel Harbourside with Chef Karen Barnaby (Fishhouse in Stanley Park) and others.

•Aboriginal Potlatch Supper at Vancouver Community College. The

menu includes indig-enous products and a mix of modern and tradi-tional cooking methods. Here’s a sampling: spiced seafood cakes with corn puree dandelion salad, braised bison brisket, roast venison loin with savory bannock bread pudding, rabbit sausage with king oyster ragout and blueberry pine nut chutney.

•Dragon Feast of the Century at Rain Flower Seafood Restaurant on No. 3 Road features a once-in-a-lifetime feast created by 16 award-win-ning Asian chefs using BC products.

There’s more, but I’m feeling full. Tickets range from $50-$150. Vancouver hosts the conference once every 10 years, so take advantage of this experience. Oh, I almost forgot, there are also competitions, includ-ing ice carving (June 12).

MACHINES: My friend, chef Ann Kirsebom, returned from the Callebaut Chocolate Academy in Quebec a few weeks ago, where

she endured an intensive chocolate course. They used a Thermomix for everything they made.

“It makes incredibly perfect ganache in just minutes,” she told me. “It weighs the ingredients, programs your products, and voila.”

A Thermomix, she told me, kneads dough, mixes, minces, grinds, cooks, steams, stirfries, mills grain, and does so much more. Many people are replacing their food processors and mixers with it. Ann bought one upon her return from Quebec. She’s using it to make her new Callebaut Chocolate and Grand Marnier products, but found that it does every-thing she needs for her catering as well.

Thermomix was devel-oped 50 years ago by 125 German engineers. It boasts a gearless motor that will never overheat.

There’s no stress when using a Thermomix. It has a scale, timer, and exact temperature control (something you can’t get on a stove or oven).

DRINK: I attended a Sapphire Speakeasy recently. Central to the evening was Bombay Sapphire, that beautiful blue bottle of gin. Chef Corbin Tomaszeski (Food Network’s Dinner Party Wars host) and Merlin Griffiths (ambassador for Bombay Sapphire) paired cocktails and appetizers.

Given the “speak-easy” theme, they both nodded to the prohibition era when patrons in under-ground bars were asked to “speak easy” so as to not attract the attention of the law.

Yes, gin in the glass and on the plate. Chef Corbin said to read the ingredients on the bottle and use one of those when pair-ing food. The use of cilantro enhances the coriander botanicals infused into Bombay Sapphire gin in the following pairings.

Gentleman’s Vibe wowed the crowd at Gateway

by Krista AshfordContributor

While last week’s RichCity Idol showcased Richmond’s high school talent, for many audience members it was Richmond-based hip-hop duo Gentleman’s Vibe who stole the show.

Audience members rushed the stage as Neal Zabala and Justin Villarosa rocked their original beats in the May 31 event at Gateway Theatre..

“I felt like Justin Bieber,” laughs Villarosa.

Gentleman’s Vibe sat down with The Richmond Review at the Young Prophecy Enterprises recording studio to discuss their music, their aspirations and how they balance being 18 years old and up-and-coming hip hop artists.

“Hip-hop was a way of doing some-thing different instead of doing what

teens usually do—I was trying to stay out of trouble and also, express myself through the songs,” says Zabala.

Zabala and Villarosa met in a hip-hop group a few years ago.

“When we parted ways with our old group, we were solo artists for a little bit,” says Villarosa.

Despite working separately, the two would still call one another to work on collaborations.

“We figured that instead of just doing collaborations with each other maybe it was a good idea to start a group, that’s when we started brainstorming names,” explains Zabala.

They were signed to Young Prophecy Enterprises in 2010 after manager Lee Asher, heard their self-released EP fea-turing “One Shot,” “Falling Down” and “Notice It All.”

Gentleman’s Vibe has already built a strong fan base in the Vancouver area and their YouTube and Facebook fol-lowers are growing steadily.

Service with PrideCaesars Bar and Grill prides itself on

its exceptional service. Located at 3880 Steveston Hwy. (at No. 1 Road), Caesars recently won the Extra Mile Award at the Tourism Service awards for exceptional customer service. Proprietor David Koonar has been in the restaurant business for more than 35 years, many years as the owner of Vancouver’s Goodfellas Bar and Grill. Come down and join David and his wonderful staff and enjoy some of their fabulous menu items such as delicious Lamb Osso Bucco with a nice glass of red wine. You can also create your own pizza; start with Caesars’ special tomato sauce and cheeses and then choose from its huge list of toppings to create your own favourite pie. Or, if you’ve got Stanley Cup fever (and who doesn’t?), there is no better place than Caesars to watch the Canucks’ quest for the cup with draft beer or house wine and an appy for only $10 plus tax during all games. Hopefully we’ll see you this Friday for Game 5. Go Canucks Go!

Down to Earth Dining!Whether you’re watching the game, meeting friends, or

grabbing a cold one with the team, Original Joe’s Richmond is the ideal place to be. Conveniently located in Sands Plaza at Steveston Hwy. and No. 5 Rd, here you can catch all your favourite sports action (like the playoff game this Friday) on one of the big screen TV’s or enjoy local live music.

Hearty portions, and each signature dish made from scratch, make Original Joe’s one of those “it all sounds so good, what should I choose?” menu destinations you’ll want to visit often so you can try everything.

Original Joe’s was chosen by the community of Richmond as fi nalists in the Best New Restaurant category in The Richmond Review’s Best of Richmond 2010 and 2011.

Right now, you’ll want to check out the tempting new Summer Fresh menu features — and the patio. Whether you’re a seafood lover or you enjoy slow roasted pork, you’ll fi nd a tasty option.

Looking for a winning brunch destination? Weekends until 1 p.m., start your day with a cup of Joe, relax and choose from entrees built with quality ingredients like Spolumbo’s maple breakfast sausage and freshly made hollandaise.

HST will be reduced from 12% to 10%.After listening to British Columbians, the government has proposed an HST reduction from 12% to 11% by 2012, then to 10% by 2014. This proposed change will take effect if the province votes to keep the HST in the referendum. If B.C. votes to return to the GST + PST system, the combined rate will remain at 12%.

Transition cheques for families & seniors.Under the proposed change to a 10% HST rate, the average B.C. family will be $120 better off annually than under the old 12% GST + PST system. And to help transition to the lower rate, the government will provide $175 for every child under 18 and every senior with income under $40,000.

Seung-Chul Baik photoMorley Watson, Annie Tsai and Karen Parker are among dozens of artists who’ve donated original artwork to Gateway Theatre’s Cocktail Party fundraising event.

A Gateway Theatre fundraising event is promising each guest will take home a piece of local artwork valued at over $300.

The Gateway Theatre Cocktail Party is set for Thursday, June 23 from 6 to 9 p.m. and features 100 pieces of artwork donated by local artists.

“We wanted to create an experi-ence that would showcase more of the arts—not just performing arts. We felt an event like this would appeal to many and create a

collaborative community of artists helping artists,” said Debbie Tobin, a member of the Gateway board.

A champagne reception kicks off the evening, and tickets will be drawn 10 at a time until each guest has chosen a piece of art to take home. Throughout the event, guests will be treated to tapas and desserts, along with a wine tasting and martini bar.

Only 100 tickets available at $350 per couple. Call the Gateway Box Office at 604-270-1812 for tickets.

arts & entertainmentGentleman’s Vibe raps about the real worldFrom Page 14

Zabala and Villarosa remain humble. They are young men with passion and love for music. They are influ-enced by the styles of Bruno Mars, J. Cole, XV and Wiz Khalifa but Gentleman’s Vibe strives to keep their songs fresh and original.

“We rap about real stuff, what we’ve gone through in life,” explains Zabala.

“We don’t want to stay within the stereotypes of hip hop. When we first started, people actually made fun of us saying, ‘You’re so gangster’ and we were like, ‘No we’re not. We don’t rap about the hood.’” Villarosa laughs.

“We want to be different,” finishes Zabala.The duo are certainly in sync. They bounce musi-

cal ideas back and forth like they bounce answers between them, they’re perfectly fluid on stage and in the interview.

“I think one way and he thinks another but then we combine,” says Zabala.

“And it becomes crazy good in the end,” Villarosa finishes.

Zabala explains that trying to balance the music and school can be sometimes “stressful” as school work

is always first priority but with supportive parents and record label willing to channel their creativity Villarosa and Zabala are able to find time for their music—after the school work is done, of course.

Despite busy lives recording, performing and attend-ing classes, the two never lose their energy and their audience can feel it too.

“It gets better and better,” Villarosa says about live performances.

Gentleman’s Vibe is currently working on an EP to be released by Young Prophecy Enterprises by the fall. A mix tape is available online, featuring Gentleman’s Vibe covers of popular songs like the Jamie Foxx and Drake collaboration, “Fall For Your Type.”

“It’s something to give back to our fans while we’re working on original stuff. A lot of people don’t realize how long it takes to make an original album,” says Villarosa.

Gentleman’s Vibe emphasized their appreciation of the support they have received from fans so far.

“You guys have been amazing,” says Zabala.For more on the duo, search Gentleman’s Vibe on

Facebook and YouTube.

One of the most influential coaches in Canadian fi gure skat-ing hosted a three-day seminar in Richmond last week.

Manon Perron of St. Leonard, Que., who over a 30-year coaching career is probably best known as Olympic bronze medallist Joannie Rochette’s coach, held exclusive on-ice sessions with Connaught skaters at the Richmond Ice Cen-tre.

Perron worked closely with Con-naught director of skating Kee-gan Murphy, who is a longtime friend along with Murphy’s mom Eileen.

“I got in touch with (Perron) months ago to ask if she would agree to share her passion and experience with our skaters and coaches,” said Murphy, who as a teen often travelled with his mom and Perron to international com-petitions across Europe.

In recent years, Perron has be-come a supportive mentor and role model as Murphy begins his competitive coaching career.

“Her vision is of longterm devel-opment,” said Murphy, a national level technical specialist. “She is an advocate of supporting her ath-letes through the ups and downs in order for them to reach their maximum potential. Whether that is reached at age 13 or 22, she is relentless in her support. This has brought me more inspiration to

stay true to this longterm develop-ment and continue being a pillar to all my skaters.”

Murphy said Perron’s emphasis on work ethic was the single big-gest lesson she provided during the lessons. She stressed that a skater can have all the talent, but without work ethic their potential will never be reached.

“Fortunately this is right in line with our current standards at Con-naught,” he said.

One of Perron’s current students, Ian Martinez (ranked seventh in Canada), was on hand to help par-ticipate in the lessons. Murphy said his presence helped the skat-ers to visually see the correction or exercise they were being asked to execute.

“Ian was also so wonderful in interacting with the skaters and was a great help on and off the ice,” he said. “He is an extremely accomplished athlete and defi -nitely has the potential to make an excellent coach one day.”

Murphy said having a seminar at this time of year is a great benefi t for the skaters.

Anmol Mattu is in select company—again.

The diminutive point guard for the Steveston-London Sharks high school senior girls’ basketball team has made Canada’s national under-16 women’s squad following three days of intense workouts last week-end in Toronto.

The most valuable player in Richmond high school girls’ hoops last season as a Grade 10 stu-dent, Mattu will be joined by fellow B.C. players Emma Wol-fram of Kamloops and Kolbie Orum of Maple Ridge on the 14-player squad which will play for the Federation In-ternational Basket-ball Association’s America U16 wom-en’s championship June 13 to 18 in Merida, Mexico.

Canada will play its f irst game against Guatemala June 13, followed by a match versus Portugal June 14, and will wrap-up pre-liminary round play versus host Mexico June 15. Playoffs are June 16 to 18.

“I’ve worked hard and was able to keep up with everybody,” she said. “I’m happy to be representing Richmond and looking forward to the tournament.”

At a generous fi ve-foot-four, Mattu belies size as being a key to basketball success. She relies on a strong skill set, smarts, and a relentless determination. Not only can she effectively dish the ball to open teammates, but is capable of taking it to the hoop while beating much bigger opponents. Still, she’s acutely aware there’s room for improvement.

“She’s got a good head on her shoul-ders and when we talked yesterday, after I congratulated her, the focus went to what she needs to work on,” said Les Hamaguchi, her high school basketball coach.

“She’s never satisfi ed and that’s al-ways the mark of someone who will reach great heights in whatever they choose.”

Hamaguchi said Mattu making the national team is “an amazing ac-complishment.” He said it refl ects how much time she puts into bas-ketball. He said it bodes well for any future goals she has, which include one day playing for the senior national team.

“You get better by gaining differ-ent kinds of expe-riences,” he said.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime experi-ence for any young person. She’s a tre-mendous person and it’s nice to see

someone rewarded for all the hard work she’s put in.”

A straight-A student, Mattu, who was earlier selected to the provincial un-der-16 team, has been around basket-ball all her life. She began showing her signifi cant talent as early as elementary school when she routinely challenged high schoolers, which further height-ened her skills.

“My inspiration is (Richmond basket-ball legend) Pasha Bains because he has been coaching me since Grade 3,” she said. “He played on the Canadian (senior) national team, which is a dream of mine, and he is one person I can always go to for advice.”

Richmond Attitude 96 showed Sunday the kind of moxie they’ll likely need again in their quest for a third trip to the provincial championships in July.

Though they enjoyed a 3-0 lead going into the seventh inning against North Delta Demons in the fi nal of a girls’ fastpitch tournament in Tsawassen last weekend, the Attitude ultimately need-ed some extra-inning heroics which they got by scoring fi ve times in the eighth to earn a 8-3 victory. The win avenged an earlier round-robin loss to

North Delta.It’s precisely that kind of determina-

tion coach Terry Polquin hopes will help the Attitude realize their goal of playing in the B.C. fi nal July 10 in Chilliwack.

“The girls have, for some reason, al-ways seem to have been able to step up to the level of competition they’re playing,” said Polquin. “And they keep getting better.”

In their fi rst season at the Bantam Division, the Attitude will this weekend be trying to win the District 6 title at London Park. They played in two B.C. championships as Peewees, including last season when they fi nished third.

“June can often be diffi cult for fi gure skaters as the season is winding down and academic pressures are building with exams and report cards,” Murphy said.

“This seminar has injected a burst of en-ergy and motivation in our athletes that has exceeded our expectations, preparing them

for an intense summer season of training. Manon’s energy, passion and expertise was just what the club needed to push its devel-opment forward.”

•More than 50 Connaught skaters partici-pated in the recent Victoria Day Interclub competition. Results are online at richmon-dreview.com.

A hamstring injury suffered early in the sea-son continues to nag Shai-Anne Davis, and stood in the way of a third straight sweep of the girls’ sprint events at the B.C. High School Track and Field Championships last weekend at Swangard Stadium.

After winning the 100 metres in 12.20 sec-onds, and then placing third (25.33 seconds) in the 200-metre preliminaries, Davis, a Grade 12 student at Matthew McNair Secondary, de-cided to opt out of the 200-metre fi nals after feeling some restriction in her hamstring.

“I didn’t want to risk greater injury,” she said, noting junior and senior nationals are coming up at end of the month. “I of course would have liked to do better, but with my condi-tion I was quite happy with the end results.

Injuries play huge on an athlete’s mind, but with my family and coach’s support they made sure I stayed calm and focused throughout the meet.”

Davis hopes to better her personal bests at both 100 (11.68 seconds established last summer at the Edmonton International Track Classic) and 200 metres (24.01 seconds at the 2010 B.C. high school championships) at nationals. But her biggest focus is on qualify-ing for the Pan Am junior championships in Miramar, Fla. July 22-24.

In mid-August, Davis will be moving to To-ronto to train with Elite Edge at the national training centre, working alongside some coaches from Athletics Canada.

“I won’t be going to school right away as I want to get settled in fully fi rst, but it looks like I’ll be going to York University either in the new year of next September,” she said.

JACOBSON, Helen Rosemary (nee Williams)May 7, 1923 - May 29, 2011

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother Helen Rosemary Jacobson on May 29 in Richmond, B.C. following a courageous battle with cancer. Helen was a wonder-ful wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Helen was born in England in 1923 and later moved to Canada as a war bride with her son Trevor where she settled in Powell River, B.C. Helen and her fi rst husband Harold Morton had another son Brian in 1947. The family moved extensively across Canada as Harold was in the RCAF. Wherever they went, she always provided a warm and caring home. The family settled in Richmond in 1961. Helen went about making a secure life for her family. She worked many years at Vancouver General Hospital and then at Richmond General Hospital. She was involved with the Hospital Employees Union as she was always concerned with the well being and rights of workers. A trait she had until the end. Helen and Alvin were married in Mississippi in 1997. She was predeceased by her sister Joan and brother Ronald. She is survived be her loving husband Alvin Jacobson, sons Trevor (Sue) and Brian (Dale), brother Len, sister Val, grandchildren Kim (Stan) and Janet (Zeke), great grandchil-dren Brittany, Nicholas, Jessica, and Devin, step great grandchildren Darcy and Danielle. She also had a wonderful extended family through her marriage to Alvin.

A Service and Celebration of Life will be held at the

Minoru Seniors Centre,7660 Minoru Gate, Richmond, B.C. on Saturday, June 18th,

from 3:30pm to 5:30pm. No fl owers by request.

SMIRFITT, Shelley Rae

(nee Gentner)

December 10, 1959 - June 1st, 2011

Shelley passed away peacefully with family by her side. Shelley was born in Richmond and resided there most of her life. At the age of 23 she married Mark and raised two children. Shelley is survived by her husband Mark, daughter Lauren, son Nolan, mother Doreen, brothers Guy and Brent, sisters Leona, Lanice and Karen as well as numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Shelley was prede-ceased by her father Cliff and mother Verna.

She is remembered in our hearts for her infec-tious laugh, love and compassion for all she encountered in her life and genuine joy in selfl essness.

There will be an informal Celebration Of Life at the East Delta Hall, 10379 Ladner Trunk Rd, Delta, BC on Sunday, June 12th at 1:00 pm. In lieu of fl owers, donations can be made to Lions Gate Chemo Compassionate Fund.

> Cork, Canvas and Cuisine at Richmond Centre

$24,000 raised for operating room campaign

A magical place where pixies dwell was created for the f0urth annual Cork, Canvas

and Cuisine event, presented by Richmond Centre, benefiting the Richmond Hospital Foundation last Saturday.

The event, which had 350 guests, raised $24,000 for the founda-tion’s operating room campaign.

“I was very happy,” said Bill Jaffe, chair of the Richmond Hospi-tal Foundation.

The overtime win by the Canucks just before the event no doubt put people in a good and gener-ous mood.

“All of the reviews that I got from people … they were all thrilled by the evening,” Jaffe said.

The guests sampled food and wine, browsed through art, and enjoyed enter-tainment including a fashion show put on by The Bay and a circus performance at Richmond Centre in an area dressed up to the theme “A Mid Summer Night’s Dream.”

One lucky guest won two WestJet tick-ets.

“My concerns were that with the hockey game we wouldn’t have much attendance,” Jaffe said.

The cause is one that everyone can relate to though.

“The hospital touches everyone at every point in their life,” he said.

The foundation’s next event will be a golf tournament featuring a helicopter ball drop on June 23.
