$1.3 M drug home forfeitedA Richmond home valued

at $1.33 million will be turnedover to the Crown after the B.C.Court of Appeal upheld a for-feiture ruling following a policeinvestigation in 2007 discoveredthe property was being used as amarijuana grow-op.

The three-judge panel votedunanimously Aug. 9 that thesprawling, five-bedroom, 4,000-square-foot home owned by FanQiang Zeng in the 9300-block ofBakerview Drive be handed over.

Zeng had argued the judgefailed to consider the impact for-feiture may have on his immedi-ate family members and was not

supported by the evidence in thecase.

He also contended the mari-juana grow op — spread out overthe top floor of the home — wasmaster-minded by his now ex-wife, Ye Jin Li, who had entereda guilty plea.

The grow-op yielded 760marijuana plants and was on athree-month growing cycle. Allfive bedrooms and bathroomscontained plants where they weregrowing under the glow of 31industrial lights connected totimers, which ran between 12-18hours a day.

The equipment used to grow

the plants was powered by elec-tricity from an electrical bypass,concealed in the wall of thegarage. The lights were connect-ed to a series of electrical bal-lasts in the upper level hallwayand powered by stolen electricity.

The side door to the propertywas barricaded from the insidewith a metal bar and brackets toprevent people from breakinginto the home.

There was also a living spaceon the home’s lower floor.

The estimated value of thecrop was between $255,000 and$426,000.

MARITIME FUN

Schools in Richmond, andaround the rest of the province,could be out for summer longerthan planned.

That’s if unionized non-teachingand support staff and the BC PublicSchool Employers’ Associationdon’t get back to the bargainingtable by the end of August to hashout a contract agreement after talksbroke down this week.

The failure to continue discus-sions is a major disappointment forJune Kaiser and the rest of CUPE’sbargaining committee.

Kaiser, president of CUPE 716which represents about 1,000 work-

ers in Richmond, told the RichmondNews her group was fully preparedto bargain. But at the end of threedays of talks, they were told therewas nothing the employers’ associa-tion could offer them.

Kaisier said CUPE is hoping toresume bargaining by the last weekof August. But if that doesn’t hap-pen, there is a real likelihood of jobaction that would close schools justas they are getting ready to begin anew academic year.

“We told them if they are notprepared to bargain at the end ofAugust, respectfully and with a dealcoming up, we walk,” Kasier said.

The employers’ association hasyet to agree on talks resuming

Hockey tourney helps feed studentsMemorial event in its ninth year, parents’ pain eases

It is said time is a great healer.Richmond’s Lori and Michael Yelizarov know

this well.It has been nine years since they lost their son,

Noah, who died in 2004, just shy of his 19th birth-day, after being electrocuted during a holiday inThailand.

From that tragedy has sprung a memorialhockey tournament that bears his name which hasraised funds for numerous charitable, communitycauses.

And with each passing year, the event getslarger, spreads its caring further and the sadness oflosing Noah eases.

“In the first few years it was kind of hard onmyself and Lori because it was a sore memory,”Michael says. “Now, it’s becoming not so much ofa challenge for us. Of course, we want to remem-ber Noah — it’s always a sweet memory. And whatthe challenge is now is trying to raise as much aswe can for the causes we support.”

This year’s Noah Yelizarov Hockey Tourney hitsthe ice at the Richmond Oval Aug. 18.

The three-on-three format attracts entries fromfar and wide.

So too, does the accompanying beer garden,dinner and live auction, all of which last yearhelped raise $31,000.

Since the event started, it has provided close to$200,000 shared by organizations such as CanuckPlace and BC Children’s Hospital.

It’s an impressive display of community spirit,says Lori.

“Am I surprised? I am and I’m not,” she says.“It started out small and became so big. You couldsee the people were so passionate and really want-ing to do good in Noah’s name, and keep hismemory alive. He was really loved and peoplewanted to support us and him to keep the tourna-

ment going.“And it just looks like it’s getting stronger and

stronger because I do think people recognize weare doing good in the community. It’s a communityeffort that everyone wants to be part of.”

Addressing that aspect of community is supportfor programs providing young children with foodin schools and at home.

New last year was Blessings in a Backpack(www. blessingsinabackpack.ca), a Canadian-based food distribution charity, which providesbackpacks filled with nutritious food for childrenin inner city elementary schools to take home onweekends.

The event also assists the Vancouver School

District’s efforts to provide food for students.“A lot of these kids literally go hungry at school

and under perform because of that,” Michael says,adding that last year that program received $6,000.

“We’ve been told it would feed 100 kids for twoyears, and we’re very happy about that,” he says.“Now, this year, we brought the program home andwe’re going to be doing the same thing here, forthe Richmond School District.”

The local program is called Feed-U-Cate 38 andis designed to provide a meal to students in need.

Recently retired Richmond School Districtadministrator Glenn Kishi, who is coordinating theprogram, said there’s a common belief Richmond

Richmondites row, row their boat into record booksIt took them a few more tries than they might have

anticipated, but 180 Richmondites now, unofficially, boast aGuinness World Record between them.

Each singing one word at a time, the crowd managed tobelt out the nursery rhyme Row, Row, Row Your Boat on theopening day (Aug. 9) of the Maritime Festival in Steveston.

The attempt has still to be verified by Guinness WorldRecord officials.

The previous record was held by members of the JimPattison Group, which had 154 people turn out in March2011 at its JPG Partners in Pride Conference in SanAntonio, Texas. To view more pictures and a video, go towww.richmond-news.com and see page 12.

JUDY’S TIP OF THE WEEK

WE ARE DOGFRIENDLY


News

Zeng: Lied, according to judge

is too affluent a community to need a schoolbreakfast or lunch program.

But when he discovered last year asmany as 16 local schools already had foodprograms in place and each was conductingtheir own fundraising initiatives, he knew itwas time to coordinate them and get othersinvolved.

“In Richmond, the poverty is not inone area,” Kishi says. “It’s not like in eastVancouver. It’s in pockets here. We have kidswho live in housing co-ops and low-costrentals that are right beside homes that cost$2 million. So, these kids come to schooltogether.”

Part of the fundraising push is to enlist theefforts of We Day — where students committo a global, as well as local project.

“If they are going to raise money to build

a school in Kenya, well they can raise moneyto help feed their friends at other schools,”Kishi says.

The goal is to raise $15,000 to $20,000over the course of the school year.

Thanks to a connection with the NoahYelizarov Hockey Tourney through formerRichmond school principal Don Taylor, Feed-U-Cate 38 is going to get some exposure andassistance.

So, how does it feel being able to providethat kind of help?

“It makes me feel really good. It makesme feel tingly warm inside,” says Michael.

“I think Noah would be proud of us. Andthat gives us the strength to do it next year,and again and again.”

For more information about the NoahYelizarov Hockey Tourney visit www.noah-memorialhockey.ca.

At the forfeiture hear-ing Zeng had testified hedid not move into the homewith his family right awaybecause he had pre-paid forhis children’s private schooltuition, including his ex-wife’s daughter, and that Liwas to rent the property outfor him.

Zeng also claimed heearned $4,000 per month.

However, his tax returnsshow that he reported earn-ing significantly less. In2003-2005 he reported annu-al earnings of $7,112, $6,331and $3,821 respectively.

He claimed he made a$360,000 downpayment tobuy the Richmond homeby placing a mortgage ona Vancouver property heowned.

In the forfeiture hear-ing, the judge concluded thegrow operation was startedshortly after the propertywas purchased and Zeng andhis family lived elsewhere.The evidence also supportedZeng purchased the hometo operate the business of agrow operation as opposed to

a residential property.The judge concluded that

this was a commercial enter-prise, amply supported by theevidence.

In the appeal judgement,Madam Justice Bennettstated the judge presidingover the forfeiture hearingwas entitled to concludethat Zeng was not tellingthe truth regarding where heobtained the downpaymentfor the Bakerview property,since he did not produce anydocumentation confirminga mortgage was obtained onhis Vancouver property.

“Mr. Zeng was not forth-coming about many things,in particular the source of hisincome,” Benett wrote.

“It cannot be said that thejudge misapprehended this

evidence — he simply didnot accept it. There is no pal-pable or overriding error incoming to this conclusion.

It was a conclusionreasonably based in the evi-dence. I would not accede tothis ground of appeal.”

Bennett also stated thatit was in her view that thejudge was clearly alive to theissue of any potential hard-ship to Zeng’s family, andconsidered when he made theforfeiture order.

“I would not accede tothis ground of appeal,” shewrote.

The Crown argued thatthis section has no applica-tion to Zeng since he movedhis family into the BakerviewDrive residence after thewarrants were executed.

Labour Day could give rise to some“labour” pains for travellers using YVR.

While it’s still early in the process, andno strike date has been set, there could bedelays at the airport if unionized workerslaunch job action over the coming longweekend.

The workers in question are responsiblefor emergency response, internationalarrivals customer care and runway main-tenance.

On the union’s website, Bob Jackson,

PSAC’s regional executive vice presidentfor B.C., said the 300 or so union mem-bers at the airport voted 83 per cent infavour of strike action last week.

“PSAC members are united behindtheir bargaining team and prepared to walkthe picket line if necessary,” said Jackson.

Contentious areas of contract talksinclude flexible work hours and job pro-tection.

Also on the union’s website, DaveClark, regional vice-president of theUCTE, a component of PSAC, said, “Wefelt we had no choice but to take a strikevote.

“YVR says they’re one of B.C.’s topemployers, but are refusing to discuss ourdemands around work-life balance and jobsecurity.

“They also want to weaken the appren-ticeship provisions in our collective agree-ment and create a two-tier wage system bycreating a new class of ‘seasonal’ workers.

“We’re prepared to strike if our keyissues aren’t dealt with. The next move isup to the employer.”

YVR spokeswoman Robyn McVickersaid the public will be kept informedof the situation and stressed there is noimmediate impact at the airport.

Messages: Back action

before the end of the month.Kaiser said she is hopeful job action can be

averted, although as news filtered out about thecollapse of talks she received a torrent of mes-sages from her members supporting a strike.

“I got an unprecedented response, with peoplesaying we need to draw a line in the sand, andtired of being treated like second class citizens,”Kaiser said.

According to the union, education assistants,clerical staff, trades, custodians, bus drivers andother workers they represent have been without awage increase for more than four years.

Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for theemployer, said in a press release the two sidesmade it clear they’re willing to work towards aprovincial framework agreement, but added theunion would have to make concessions.

Back to School

Back-to-school shopping can be a stressful time for par-ents and students alike. And according to a recent VisionCritical survey, more than half of British Columbian shoppersprefer to leave their kids at home when hunting for bindersand art supplies. But is that really the case in Richmond?

Jared Worfolk, business support manager at Staples on No.3 Road, said, as a parent, he understands some people’s pref-erence to fly solo on trips to the store.

“It probably has to do with, I guess, the time limitations,”said Worfolk, who’s often asked to perform personal shoppingduties by busy mothers and fathers.

“They prefer doing it during their breaks at work. I myselfam a parent and I don’t like bringing my kid.

“It takes time when you have children in the store withyou.”

Kwantlen library assistant and mother of two Ginger Luhas a slightly different perspective on keeping company dur-ing supply runs.

“I quite like the experience — it’s never stressful and I

have several reasons to bring them with me,” said Lu.“The first is, if I bring them, they buy what they want and

they’re happy with what they get, they don’t say, ‘Hey I don’tlike this colour.’”

She also said it provides an opportunity to bond with herkids and educate them about budgeting and making gooddecisions, rather than grabbing the newest and shiniest thingon the shelf.

“First Staples Back-to-School Annual Study” is a surveycommissioned by the stationary giant to gather more informa-tion on the season and put on paper the pattern of Canadiansin different locations and explain various behaviours, saidStaples public relations specialist Valerie Outmezguine.

“It’s an emotional time for everyone, especially parentsthat have to go out and shop who have more than one child,”she said. “We wanted to learn more about their shoppingexperiences and opinions.”

OpinionT H E R I C H M O N D N E W S

EDITORIAL OPINION

To a layman, it seems unambiguous: Margaret (Margot)Bentley, while of sound mind, left a living will in 1991that states she does not want liquids or nourishment if

diagnosed with an incurable disease with no reasonable expecta-tion of recovery. “I direct that I be allowed to die,” she wrote.

Bentley, a former nurse, would have had a clearer idea thanmany of what end-of-life care might entail, and rejected beingkept alive by artificial means.

Yet Fraser Health has directed the Abbotsford care facilitywhere she has lived in a vegetative state for the past four yearsto continue feeding her against her family’s wishes - and despitethe legal directive she had the forethought to create some 13years before she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.

To be clear, Bentley’s brain function is mostly destroyed. Sheis not sitting up in bed and waiting for supper. “Feeding” is amatter of repeatedly touching her bottom lip with a spoon untilshe opens her mouth. Her family says she could die before thesuit they have launched against the province and the publiclyfunded care home is settled. But they want her case to provideclarity to B.C.’s health care consent legislation.

We applaud their painful decision to go public in pursuit ofBentley’s wishes. The court decision, especially if appealed,likely won’t come quickly, either. But we sincerely hope theiruncomfortable time in the spotlight of media attention will leavea legacy so that others will not have to suffer the appalling sightof a loved one kept alive as a vegetable.

As if things weren’tbad enough for the NDPthese days, it looks like theB.C. Liberals are about tobe handed an even biggeradvantage.

The province’s electoralmap will soon be redrawn,and odds are the additionof new ridings will favourareas that are traditionallyB.C. Liberal strongholds.

The changes will mostlyreflect the population shiftsthat have occurred since thelast redistribution, whichtook place after the 2005election. B.C.’s popula-tion has grown by morethan a half million peoplesince then, and most of thegrowth has taken place inareas such as the Vancouversuburbs and the Okanagan.

As a result, it appearsseveral seats will be addedto reflect the mushroomingpopulation in places likeRichmond, south Surrey,Langley and the Okanagan— all areas that can be con-sidered fairly safe territoryfor the B.C. Liberals.

The looming changesdon’t look promising forthe NDP. The party is indanger of becoming mar-ginalized because its coreareas of strength are not inareas of high populationgrowth (other than NewWestminster and northSurrey).

The last election resultsconfined the NDP to thecity of Vancouver, a fewof its suburbs, most ofVancouver Island, theKootenays and the coast.It’s unlikely the commissionwill increase the number of

seats in those areas. In fact,if the Island gets anotherseat it will likely be in theComox Valley region, whichhas been held for years bythe B.C. Liberals.

Of course, the boundar-ies commission responsiblefor redrawing the map mayalso consolidate some rid-ings that have far less peo-ple living in them and arenot showing big increasesin population. These aremostly located in the northand the Kootenays, and anyconsolidation would likelypenalize the B.C. Liberalsand the NDP in equal terms.

The commission, ofcourse, needs to be sensi-tive to the concerns of thosewho live in remote, ruralregions and fear their repre-sentation in the legislaturecould become diluted as themore populous, urban areasget more and more ridings.

This has always been aconcern whenever B.C.’selectoral map is altered,and it is one reason whyour number of MLAs keepsincreasing.

Surrey-Cloverdale ishome to more than fourtimes that number of votersyet both get the same num-ber of MLAs.

In fact, it can be arguedthe two Peace River ridingscould be combined (such

a riding would have about43,000 voters, roughly thesame as Victoria-BeaconHill), or that the NorthCoast, Skeena and Stikinecould be consolidated intoa single seat (and have thesame number of voters asNew Westminster).

But reducing the MLArepresentation in thoseregions would be met with ahuge protest from the com-munities affected and so itlikely will not happen.

Instead, it’s more likelywe will continue to addseats into our alreadyovercrowded legislativechamber, which has almostreached the limit in termsof how many desks can fitinside the thing.

And it’s likely thoseadditional seats will becreated primarily south ofthe Fraser River and in theretirement communities ofthe Okanagan — sourcesof electoral strength for theB.C. Liberals.

It’s also important tonote that our ethnic com-munities — particularly theSouth Asian communities— are centred in thoseareas of growth. To not addseats in those areas wouldunfairly dilute their politicalrepresentation over time.

The population is grow-ing in areas that have longturned their backs on theNDP. And that’s where anynew MLAs will be comingfrom, thus making it evenmore difficult for the NDPto win a majority election.

The Editor,Silly me, I thought the paving of the green corridor

beside Railway was still being discussed. I was by therelast night — blackness, tar stench and a long swathe ofRichmond’s green lungs destroyed!

No wonder it’s so hot and smelly in Richmond thesedays, with removing that which cools and cleans the air!It’s well proven that natural green space in a city keeps itcooler. So why destroy our defining namesakes (GardenCity, City by Nature)?

This is anti-progress and may well take away all ourwins as longest-living, healthiest community in Canada.

Smarten up, you city council (expletives), who aremerely pretending to represent me and my family!

The Editor,Re: “Fix unsightly ATM on wharf,” Letters, Aug. 7.The letter from Jackie Bulmer regarding the unsightly

ATM on Steveston Wharf voices the opinion of many localpeople. Not only is it ugly, but unneccessary, as the RoyalBank has one just moments away.

As to the ghastly Onni development, I can only describeit as an informed exercise in bad taste. How dreadful forthe residents on Bayview to face onto such a horror. Nowonder the complex is practically empty.

The opportunity to build a series of buildings in-keep-ing with the rest of Steveston is lost for now. Perhaps if theOnni horror remains empty, it can be demolished and wecan start again.

Letters

The Editor,I am writing about what I personally

think are the most important problemswith public transit.

Acknowledging the point that publictransit is usually slower than commut-ing by car, public transit can be moreconvenient in terms of subtracting thetime spent in luxurious solo pursuits andputting that time into more useful thingssuch as work or even putting our elec-tronic devices to good use.

Many transit users waste fewer min-utes in their daily commute than motor-ists do, but with this, public transit beginsto become over-packed causing (in mul-tiple occasions) many people to either not

be able to board the bus because it wasfull (making them late to wherever theyare going).

It also sometimes means people haveto get off at a later stop and walk backbecause some people can’t even make itthrough the crowd so that they can exitthe bus at their desired stop.

I suggest that Coast Mountain BusCompany either make busses come morefrequently during the busier times of dayor change some busses to articulated bus-ses.

If that doesn’t happen, is public transitstill truly more efficient?

The Editor,Re: “Tune in, but turned

off,” Column, July 12.After reading the edito-

rial opinion, I have cometo realize that the pollsters’way of surveying peoplefor the 2013 B.C. elec-tion didn’t reflect the realsituation because of onething — they surveyed thewrong group of people.

Since the survey wasonline, the younger gen-eration is more likely tofind out about the surveysthrough social media anddo the survey, but notactually go to vote.

Whereas, the older gen-eration is more likely tovote and not participate inthe online surveys, partly

because of their lack ofknowledge about technol-ogy and social media.

Even though some ofthe younger generationdid the online survey, theydidn’t go to vote.

There could have beenseveral reasons why theymay have chosen not tovote.

One, they may notunderstand politics andwhat the political partieshave to offer; two, theymay think their one votewon’t make a difference;three, they may thinkchoosing a governmentwill not affect them.

In order for the poll-sters to be more accuratewith their predictions, they

need to find a better wayto get the sample for theirsurvey, which has a widercoverage of the popula-tion.

The government shouldeducate and help theyounger generation under-stand more about politics,so they can use their voteto vote for a governmentthat will help them get ahome, get employment, orhelp them out of their stu-dent debt.

The Editor,“Stop cart stealing,”

Letters, July 5.If you drive by the 5500

blocks of Arcadia Road, youwill see about five or morecarts that were left on thecurbside most of the time.

These can damage carsparked on the street and arealso dangerous to pedestri-ans.

As it was mentioned,these were stolen shoppingcarts from the Lansdowne

Shopping Mall, which wereused to haul groceries andother big items.

Target will be openingin Lansdowne and probablymore shopping carts will betaken out from the mall park-ing lot and left in the neigh-borhoods.

I hope the mall securitywill do something to preventstealing carts out from themall property.

On a busy Mondaymorning at Canada’s firstMcDonald’s restaurant,manager Rob Lombaerttakes to the floor, helpingout wherever possible.

Dressed in a blackcollared shirt and tie, hestands out from the otheruniformed employees, butnevertheless, he takes upthe same tasks and strikesup conversations withthe customers to help themorning rush.

“I wish I was on thefloor more, I really do,”said Lombaert at his No.3 and Granville roads res-taurant.

“I like to interact withmy guests. I actually spenda lot of time in the lobby,walking around. A lot ofour customers have beencoming here for 20, 30years, so I like to get toknow them, talk to them alittle bit. It’s probably myfavourite part of the job.”

The 13-year employeerecently received the 2013Outstanding Manager of

the Year National awardfor his efforts.

The award is one ofMcDonald’s Canada’s tophonours and is presentedto select managers acrossthe country.

Lombaert has been atthe current location for

two years, but started hiscareer at the popular fast-food chain working the tillin Burnaby, while he wasin Grade 12.

His interest in numbersand business allowed himto advance through thesystem, picking up the odd

business course along theway.

He’s taught numeroustraining classes and helpedtrain about 715 employeeswhen they were hired onfor the Winter Olympicsin 2010.

“My thing is you takecare of your people andthe people will take careof your guests,” he said.

“To be honest with you,I’m not that outstanding,it’s the people. It’s thepeople I work with, thecustomers that come in.It’s my boss. And to berecognized nationally, it’spretty special.”

Some of the reasonshe received the award wasfor his commitment tobuilding sales, focus oncustomer satisfaction anddevelopment and train-ing of staff and the No.3 Road location makesabout $3.5 million a year,according to Lombaert.

He recently moved overto the owner/operator loca-tion two years ago, whichallowed him to spread hisskills and knowledge tomore people.

There are fringe benefits for being a dogowner. As well as free kisses and pampering,you get more exercise, especially when hik-ing the trails in Banff’s Sunshine Village.

“Sorry, there’s no exception to the petrule,” the straight-faced ticket seller saysfrom behind the counter. “None are allowedonboard.”

We’re at the base of this ski resort, a shortdrive from the town’s hub, where, for a price,a shuttle will whisk us up to the 2,195-metrelevel (7,200 feet) to scenic ridges.

But heeling politely between us, and look-ing up with apologetic eyes, is Kalli, ourtag-along pup. “There’s another option,” myhusband says, when glancing at the map. “Wecan hoof it all the way on foot.”

I sigh at Brent’s idea, partly with frustra-tion and partly trepidation. Can I manage the18-kilometre round-tripper to Healy Pass?

I might be okay if it was a level playingfield, but the elevation gain from this parkinglot is 655 metres (2,150 feet).

“With all the hiking we’ve done this holi-

day, it’ll be a breeze,” he reassures me. It’strue and my buffed-up quads are proof.

From the Kootenays to Banff, we’ve pacedeverything from walk-in-the-parkers like theBow Falls Trail to mountaineer challengessuch as Cory Pass. And we have truly beenrewarded with visual overload in return. ThisHealy trek ends up being no different.

There’s no way of disguising the length,but for the most part, this incline is gradual.Healy Creek weaves in and out of our viewand while canopied by evergreens we bisectthe occasional blueberry field, cross a fewbridges and ogle at rugged peaks that popinto the backdrop.

A primitive campground dots the 5.5-kilo-metre mark, a fork to Simpson Pass is justbefore kilometre eight and flowery meadowssprawl over the sub-alpine. While Kalli goesga-ga over the gopher holes that burrowthrough this scruffy groundcover, Brent pre-pares for bigger game.

“Three grizzlies have been tagged on thisridge,” he says, while reaching for the bearspray, “it’s unlikely we’ll see any.” In spite ofall the previous warnings we’ve had on this

trip, my wrist bells go into full action. I’m soon noisierthan old Saint Nick.

But we safely traverse the open meadow, elevate toHealy Pass and pan the expansive landscape. To thenortheast, living up to its name, is the Massive Range,southeast is beacon-like Mt. Assiniboine and northwestare the shimmering jewels of Scarab and Egypt Lakes.We sit and try to take it all in before making the descent.

“Going down will be easier,” Brent assures me,“We’ll even have energy for another hike tomorrow.”Kalli wags her tail in agreement. Little does she know,her legs will be getting a rest!

We make arrangements the next morning for herto stay and play at Veronica’s, a doggy daycare that’sa short drive from our TunnelMountain campsite.

And while she’s romping withother canines, we’re trompingSunshine’s alpine.

After taking the five-kilo-metre bus drive from the lowerparking lot, we gain 500 inmetres elevation and save anhour and a half tread-time on ourhiking boots.

More than 12 kilometres of gravel pathway scorethese upper meadows. Placards along the first sectionreveal information about the vegetation, flora and geog-raphy. We’re welcomed to the Continental Divide, aRocky Mountain landmark that separates the water flowfrom the Atlantic to the Pacific.

And we discover why so many skiers flock to thisarea — 10 metres of powder cloaks this terrain eachyear. But the growing season is nothing to write home

about.Although the wildflower meadows rage with colour in

summer, it only lasts about 45 days.Our manicured path rises and falls as it slices through

the rugged groundcover. And while meandering over thishigh country we’re privy to a postcard slide show.

A massive granite wall called The Monarch, the crag-gy summit of Mt. Howard Douglas and the great Mt.Assiniboine, snow cloaked and poised like a faultlessarrow-head. Some of these mountain masses harbourreceded snow drifts, others wear striated age-lines and anumber are home to tranquil lakes.

At the base of Quartz Hill (five kilometres/threemiles into the trek), we enjoy a snack and serenity. “Wecould keep going,” Brent says, after checking his watch.“Another hour or so and we’ll be at Citadel Pass where

the vistas are spectacular. Whatdo you think?”

But we both know theanswer. We have to pick up ourpooch by 4:30 p.m. and timeis running out. “Veronica alsooffers overnight care,” I pipeup. “Maybe next time we’rehiking Sunshine, Kalli would

like to have a sleepover.”By the end of this trip through the province and

Banff, we hiked a 150 kilometres and did a total of40,000 feet in up and down elevation.

And if we ever have a future opportunity, we’ll beback to do it all over again!

Avoid making investment mistakesNinth of a 10-part series

We have access to investmenttechnology today that Warren Buffettcould only have dreamt of severaldecades ago!

In today’s sophisticated market-place, investors have all the informa-tion, advice and tools they need tohelp them grow wealth effectively.

With these resources at hand,it would seem natural that peoplecould pursue a successful investmentexperience.

However, lack of insight, emo-tions and the temptation to speculatekeep many investors from reachingtheir financial goals.

Without a well-defined invest-ment plan, investors may pickmoney managers for the wrong rea-sons and make other decisions thatincrease risk in their portfolios.

By understanding markets and thenature of risk, and learning to man-age their emotions, investors mayavoid mistakes that can compromisereturns.

Here are some leading investmenttraps:! No investment plan — You’veprobably heard this before, but itbears repeating: “People don’t planto fail. They simply fail to plan.”! Lack of manager scrutiny — Weunderestimate human risk.

Very few people have developeda full-proof methodology for reduc-

ing the risk inherent in selecting aninvestment manager.! Chasing performance — In pastcolumns I’ve made it crystal clearthat your chances of picking a win-ning manager by chasing his pastperformance are about as safe asdriving your car backwards down ahighway using the rearview mirror.! Overconcentration — Let’s takea walk down memory lane. Can youremember Confederation Life, Bre-X, Pan Am, Nortel, Enron, LehmannBrothers?

At one time, many investorsthought these companies were a surething. Many lost their life savingsthrough over-concentration.! Market timing — Successfullytiming the markets requires you toconsistently get it right twice foreach investment. You need to knowwhen to buy and when to sell.

Successful investors, over time,are those who diversify broadlyamong many asset classes and holdon through thick and thin.! Wrong time horizon — If you’re

saving up for a purchase within thenext five years, you don’t invest instocks or real estate.

Conversely, if you’re looking todraw an income that grows withinflation, you don’t invest in bonds.Know clearly what you are savingfor before you invest.! Forecasting — Prophecy workedin Scripture — it has never workedwell in the markets. No one knowsfor sure what the future holds, sodon’t even try to guess. The news isforever changing.! Excessive risk-taking — Yes,over time the market tends to rewardinvestors according to the risk theytake.

It is risk, however, and that canblow up on you. Acknowledge allrisk factors when structuring yourportfolio.

I never said investing was easy!You’ll go far by making sure youand your financial advisor are con-sistently on the same page in avoid-ing these traps.

It’s the opportunity to play for Canada inher adopted hometown that has lured KaelanWatson back to the West Coast.

After a decorated field hockey career atthe University of Toronto, the 23-year-oldis back in Richmond and a member of thesenior women’s national team. The standoutdefender earned her first international seniorcap during a tour of Ireland in June and isa good bet to be wear-ing Canadian coloursagain for next month’sPan American Cup inMendoza, Argentina. AnAustralian tour is alsoplanned for the fall.

As a four-time FirstTeam All-Canadianand the 2010 CISChampionship MVP,there have been earlieropportunities to play forCanada that simply didn’tfit into Watson’s sched-ule. The national team isbased out of Vancouverand the McRoberts sec-ondary graduate has beenbusy establishing herroots back east, includingearning her kinesiologydegree which got her ajob at the school.

It was the potentialof playing at the 2015Pan American Games in Toronto and pos-sibly the 2016 Summer Olympics too thatgot Watson’s attention when she received anational team invite for a March evaluationcamp in Vancouver.

“The Pan Ams was definitely a huge partof my decision,” said Watson. “That was thefinal push for me to go to the last camp. I’mso happy I decided to do it. Getting a chanceto play for my country in my adopted home-town would be pretty amazing.”

A win in Toronto would send Canada tothe Olympics for the first time since 1992.The upcoming Pan Am tournament will

provide a preview but Argentina is consid-ered Canada’s biggest hurdle. Watson wasencouraged with what she saw from herteam in Ireland.

“It was really promising,” she said.“Ireland is ranked 10 spots ahead of us andwe were right there with them. This is ayoung team that is only going to get betterover the next couple of years.”

Looking for a sport where she coulddo more running, Watson signed up withRichmond Field Hockey when she was 10

and would learn thegame under Lance andNancy Carey. In highschool, she was part of apowerhouse McRobertsteam that won the pro-vincials in her Grade11 season and finishedfourth a year later.

Despite playing onregional and provincialteams, Watson didn’teven consider taking hercareer to the universitylevel until she got theattention of Toronto headcoach John DeSouzaduring provincials in hersenior year.

She even neededsome convincing fromher parents beforeheading east to tourthree Ontario schools— Guelph, Western andToronto.

“I knew I wanted to go away for schoolbut for the longest time I didn’t want toplay field hockey and I don’t know why,”laughed Watson. “The recruiting trip wasjust awesome. I loved Toronto so much. Allthe Vancouver girls on the team took me ona tour.

“I can’t even imagine my life right nowwithout having gone there. I met so manyof my best friends there. The school is rightdowntown and there is just so many funthings to do all the time.”

Watson also saw her game flourishunder DeSouza who also happens to be an

assistant with the national team. Her tal-ent and potential was enough to earn statusas a carded athlete during her third year atToronto but she still wasn’t ready for thefrequent commuting to Vancouver to trainwith the team.

“It was just too tough to do and manageeverything,” Watson recalled. “I gave themthe card back and told them it just wasn’tthe right time. I still wanted to be in good

standing (with the program) in case it wassomething I wanted to do later on.”

Watson was at least a fixture with thenational indoor team that is based out ofToronto. The game is popular back eastwhere the climate sends programs indoorsto train throughout the winter. It is played ina hockey rink and was recently reduced to4-on-4. She will be suiting up for Canada atthe Pan Am Indoor Cup next April.

The 50 backstroke was the crowningachievement – not only his first medal, buta gold medal and national title. He also wonthis event in February at Western Nationals.His 100-meter swim was good enough toget him on the podium after a significanttime drop, posting a 58.6, his second timeever under a minute long course. De Costa

also set club records in both events.All four members were able to qualify

for finals, mostly for the first time ever.Michael Jacak-Sinclair beat his current
