Ignorance, disrespect blamed for theftsStealing from community gardens, parks and farms is on the rise in Richmond

Call it opportunism; call it petty;call it helping yourself.

Call it what you want; it’s theft,plain and simple — and it’s happen-ing in broad daylight and under coverof darkness all over Richmond.

Stealing produce and gardeningmaterials from community gardens,parks, farms and even backyardsappears to be on the up across thecity.

Whether it’s topsoil,exotic flowers and blue-berries from Paulik Parkin central Richmond, fruitand vegetables from theSharing Farm at Terra Novaor strawberries from W&AFarms’ U-pick, the theftsare becoming more fre-quent and brazen.

And the people who volunteermuch of their lives keeping the greenspaces beautiful or spend the entireyear nurturing a special fruit or veg-etable have one message — it’s notyours, you didn’t grow it, so don’ttake it.

“Every other week I catch peoplewalking around with trowels andshovels, preparing to help themselvesto whatever they want,” said GeneZdenek, one of 40 or so RichmondGarden Club vol-unteers at PaulikNeighbourhood Park,a city-owned six-acrelot between Heatherand Ash streets, justnorth of BlundellRoad.

“I have confrontedthem, but they justpretend they don’t speak English andthey just hang around until I leave.

“They also come here in theircars and trucks and take top soil andmulch that’s just been delivered bythe city.

“It’s simply not acceptable; wespend hours and hours nurturingthings here and people walk in hereand take what they want.”

Richmond News gardening col-umnist Deb Brodie, one of the firstPaulik Park volunteers, said the prob-lem has been around for many years

across the city.“I tried, without success, to bring

some attention to this last year,” saidBrodie.

“We used to frequently turn up tofind great big holes where people hadjust dug something out from the rootsand walked off with the plant.

“A lot of community gardens havesigns up, asking people not to takestuff, but I’m not sure if it’s working.”

Zdenek has also spokento Ash Street homeown-ers, whose backyards runparallel to Paulik Park,with many telling storiesof seniors scaling gardenfences, scissors in hand, tocut off and steal large bagsof home-grown blueberries.

A similar fate is being experiencedover at the open-planned, communityTerra Nova Sharing Farm, wherethousands of dollars worth of garlicwas stolen last year.

And just last week, a woman hadher entire grape crop stolen afterbringing it lovingly to fruition allyear.

Colin Dring, executive director ofthe Richmond Food Security Society,said thefts at the Sharing Farm hap-pen at least once a week and added it

gets more frequentduring a recession.

“The real tragedyis that, if you’re agardener, you spendall year waiting foryour crop or plantto come just right,like the woman withthe grapes, who was

understandably upset,” said Dring.“Education I think is the key.

Many people (who’re stealing) I thinkdon’t realize whom they’re affecting,it’s just regular people.”

Community gardens, Dring said,perhaps need to be designed better toallow more eyes to keep watch in abid to deter the less brazen daytimethieves.

“Gardeners themselves are havingto be more and more imaginative in

Gene Zdenek, above, a volunteer gardener at Paulik Park in central Richmond, gets stuckinto some weeding duties. Zdenek has confronted many petty thieves, who help themselvesweekly to plants, flowers, fruit and vegetables. Below, one of the city’s most prominent farm-ers, Bill Zylmans, stands next to one of 14 new ‘respect farmland’ signs erected strategically atentry points to farmland. Zylmans, the victim of a sizable potato theft last year, is on the city’sAgricultural Advisory Committee, which asked the city to put up the signage.

Workers who fuel jets at VancouverInternational Airport will be in a legalstrike position on July 28, and their unionis warning of disruptions if there’s no prog-ress on a new contract.

The Public Service Alliance of Canadarepresents 70 jet fuel workers and a further300 emergency responders, runway main-tenance workers, baggage handlers, pas-senger assistants and other staff employeddirectly by the Airport Authority.

A union spokesman says talks withGlobeGround Fuel Services and the AirportAuthority have reached an impasse, withboth employers refusing to move on out-standing issues.

Bob Jackson, the PSAC regional execu-tive for B.C., says the jet fuelers have voted100 per cent in favour of a strike to protestdemands for split shifts and cuts to ben-efits.

Issues for the Airport Authority work-ers include flexible work hours, strongerlanguage against contracting out and oppo-sition to a proposed two-tier wage rate forseasonal workers.

The union is warning of delays for arriv-ing and departing flights during the busysummer season if there’s no headway innegotiations.

disguising their favourite plant or crop,”added Dring, without giving away the secrets.

Bill Zylmans, owner/operator of W&AFarms, with acreage all over the city, knowsall about crop thieves, having been victim toa 5,000-pound potato heist last year.

Zylmans regularly kicks people off hisland, whether they’re helping themselves tostrawberries after closing time or even pick-ing pigweed — popular as a vegetable in cer-tain cultures — from his backyard.

“I say to them, ‘excuse me, this is myland,’ to which they say, ‘oh, we didn’tknow,’” said Zylmans, who encouraged theCity of Richmond to erect 14 signs at certainpublic access points to farms.

The signs went up this week, asking peo-

ple to respect farmers and their land.“The signs are the first step, I guess, in

educating people. Many of them are justignorant, but ignorance is not an excuse.

“At the end of the day, it’s all aboutrespect for other people’s property and liveli-hoods — it’s not a free-for-all out there.

“And for all (the thieves) know, therecould be fertilizer or something on the crops.Farmers, such as myself, use chemicals aslittle as possible. But when we do, we try tolet people know.

“But if they’re jumping into fields at thewrong end, how do they know what they’redealing with?”

If you see suspicious activity in farmer’sfields or community gardens and parks, callRichmond RCMP at 604 278 1212.

Bylaw violations tickets are on the rise in Richmond— and it has nothing to do with aggression or tactics.

It’s plain and simple efficiency and wiser officer deploy-ment, according to Ed Warzel, who took over as the city’sbylaws manager last year.

A total of 3,441 violation notices for parking, safety andliability infractions were dished out in May, a spike of 13.5per cent on the previous May.

It’s an increase described as “significant” in Warzel’sreport and was achieved, in part, following a review of park-ing operations, which identified some areas of “potentialoperational efficiency that ultimately contributed to improve-ments in service delivery.

“Same day customer service response related to parkinginquiries and complaints has reached a 95 per cent successlevel in the department...,” Warzel said in his report to citycouncil’s community safety committee.

Warzel noted the increases in tickets and activity beingwritten had not, thankfully, coincided with any significantspikes in officer conduct complaints.

Instead, the favourable figures were achieved throughmore efficient use of resources, parking officers, for example,being better deployed during busier periods.

If you’re out on Richmond’s waters thissummer, you may find a marine search andrescue crew pulling up alongside you.

But it won’t necessarily be in an emergen-cy — the Royal Canadian Marine Search andRescue (RCMSAR) crew could be offeringyou a free safety check under a new $150,000program supported by Transport Canada.

“We’re doing something new this boatingseason,” said RCMSAR president Jim Lee.

“While we’ve always promoted boatingsafety with shore-based programs, this yearour search and rescue crews will offer safetychecks for pleasure craft that are away fromthe dock and out on the water.

“Our search and rescue crews inRichmond will have even more opportunityto connect with the boating public, help boat-ers ensure they have all the safety gear theyneed, and promote what we call search andrescue prevention.”

The “Vessel Safety Survey Program” isstrictly voluntary and will be provided as acourtesy to boaters who request it.

Crews will approach vessels and offerto check items such as personal flotationdevices, signalling devices, fire extinguishers,bailers, radar reflectors, navigation charts andother items.

RCMSAR crews are search and rescuespecialists and don’t provide enforcement.

The program is aimed at reducing deathsand injuries from boating accidents; as therehave been around 560 boating-related deathsin B.C. between 1991 and 2008.

During the past year, RCMSAR crews

were called out on more than 690 missionsto assist people on the water in the province,with the service’s Station 10 in Richmondresponding to more than 50 calls in 2012.

“As the busy summer boating season getsunderway, this will be a great way for us tomake contact with boaters on the water andhelp them make sure their vessels are safe,”said Richmond RCMSAR Station leaderKevin Robertson.

“The waters in our area can be dangerous,and these safety surveys will reduce the like-lihood of people needing us to rescue them.”

Station 10 is one of more than 40 in B.C.,providing marine search and rescue along theFraser River and into the Strait of Georgia.

For more information, visit www.rcmsar.com/sar-prevention or contact Station 10 [email protected].

EDITORIAL OPINION

Two months after the provincial election, the post-mor-tems are continuing to roll in.

Pollsters have continued to examine how they gotthe predictions so wrong. Turns out, those happy to givetheir opinions in polls are not the same people who show upto vote. Go figure.

More disturbingly, as Angus Reid recently made public,voters aren’t equal opportunity no-shows. Young people, whoare disproportionately more likely to answer online surveysfavoured by pollsters, are also far less likely to actually vote.

The news is both ironic and troubling.In some regards, it’s easy to see why people 18 to 30

would opt out of ‘the system.’ They’re shut out of the hous-ing market, have high unemployment and have discoveredthat education leads to student debt, but not necessarily ajob.

But they are also a generation more connected than anyin the past. On social media, Millennials aren’t shy aboutsharing their opinions or letting the world know what they’reup to. But between having an opinion and taking politicalaction, something’s still getting lost in translation.

It could be that our political systems — which haven’tchanged much in decades — could also learn to evolve withthe societies they serve. Electronic voting — which comeswith its own Pandora’s box of issues — is something thatwill likely be ushered in at some point. That could radicallychange existing patterns.

In the meantime, Woody Allen’s old quote is still true:that 80 per cent of life is showing up. That goes for the bal-lot box too.

Supplies: A tome ofoccult knowledge that noman should contemplate.

Learning outcomes: Aknowledge of other lan-guages and cultures, andalso madness.

Matthew Claxton reportsfor the Langley Advance.

The Editor,Richmond is planning to spend more than $6 million on an

unproven Olympic Experience concept to help oval attendance,when it could increase local tourism with a proven desirableshort-term RV Park for only a tiny fraction of the cost.

In September 2009, for the BC Senior Games in Richmond,I coordinated an RV Park on the land east of the RichmondOlympic Oval, and another RV Park at the South Arm Pool andTennis parking lots. Both lots were successful with 100 RVsstaying during the Games. It was profitable.

A much more modest service was provided the followingFebruary for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Despite it being winterhere and no marketing being done except for an Internet ad amonth in advance, the temporary RV Park attracted people fromas far as Whitehorse, Colorado and Los Angeles. It was profit-able.

Once something is on the Internet, it is there forever, so I stillget emails and calls about RV sites in Richmond! People wishingto stay while their child undergoes surgery or park while goingon guided fishing or hunting trips, or in most cases wishing tostop here for a few nights while heading south or north, or for atournament.

MacDonald Beach is an attractive park with plenty of space,a water supply, showers and a caretaker. It is only a three-kilo-metre walk to the Canada Line to Richmond shops and attrac-tions and events. Add a 15 amp electrical hookup and wifi andover $50/space daily is possible. Though a sani-dump is alsodesirable, if stays are limited to three to four days, it isn’t essen-tial. Subsequently, if RV visits become as popular as in the past,a pump out service or sani-dump could be added later.

While Richmond is considering spending millions on anOlympic Museum to boost oval attendance a bit, it seems soobvious that Richmond should spend thousands to provide forRV tourists to visit.

PAINFUL TRUTH

The Editor,Thank you for enabling a forum

among Richmond residents re: “Whatshould we do with the Garden CityLands?” Here is my two cents.

The land should be turned into amedley of park, residential and farmspace. This can be done in a novel andexperimental way.

The market housing portion couldconsist of strata townhouses and apart-

ments that legally obligate individualowners to practise agriculture on theirproperty. For example, a couple mightown their 800 sq ft apartment, whichalso includes 200 to 600 sq ft of landwhere they can grow a suitable com-modity.

Here we’d need the expertise of thefarmers and agri-types and gardeningtypes abound in Richmond.

The “crops” would need to not only

be compatible with the environment,which is essentially urban, but also witheach other. Richmond can do better.And there is still plenty of room forpublic park space, integrated with it all.

Most people who consider litigation express concern over the cost of it. In British Columbia, a successfulparty is typically awarded costs against the other side. Our system of costs is designed partly to promotesettling disputes (rather than litigating), and partly for the successful party to recover some of their Lawyer'scharges for the litigation.

Last month, reasons for judgment were released in a case called McMain v. Leblanc, in which the Plaintiff,a child of the deceased, was disinherited under the deceased’s Will. The Plaintiff launched Wills Variationproceedings and was successful. He then sought his costs.

The defendant opposed him on the novel ground that the deceased person chose to prepare his Will,disinheriting the Plaintiff for reasons the defendant could never be taken to have known. Thus, it would beunfair to the defendant if the Plaintiff were awarded his costs.

The Court disagreed, however, saying that the defendant learned the circumstances through the litigationand, by not being able to negotiate a settlement, had to proceed to Trial. The successful Plaintifftherefore was entitled to costs. The lesson here is clear!

The Editor,Re: “Finding faith,” News, July 5.I really appreciated your article on

faith in Richmond, highlighting some ofthe individuals who are trying to buildour relationship with God.

It occurred to me on Canada Dayjust how much we have materially inCanada.

Unfortunately, wealth and material-ism have become our God, and we have

turned our back on God who gave usthis success and the incredible naturalbeauty found within our border.

Many populations have walked awayfrom God throughout history, and we inCanada are repeating this mistake.

We need faith in our creator morethan ever and I appreciate all those try-ing to build up this relationship.

Make Room for Daddy: The sequel

the Friday Feature

Ray Sweeney gazes at his daughters— three-and-a-half year-old Erin and 18-month-old Keira — as they slap globs ofpaint on a sheet of paper attached to an easelpropped up in front of them. Their liberalbrush strokes almost match the streaks ofpaint errantly smeared on their dresses.

Sweeney smiles, and wonders aloud, “Ihope that comes out.”

It’s a unique, early Saturday morningscene. Unique in the fact that Sweeney andthe rest of the eight or so dads in the play-room at Richmond Family Place are inten-tionally flying “solo” for a couple of hours.

There’s not a mom in sight for the fami-lies attending the weekly Dad and ChildBreakfast Program.

And while it is still somewhat rare for acollection of dads to convene alone with theirchildren, it’s part of a growing, societal trendwhere fathers of today are more comfortableplaying a greater role in the lives of their off-spring than those of generations past.

A Statistics Canada study into the increas-ing active participation of fathers pointedto an increased role of women in the labourforce as one reason for the change.

“This shift has taken place against a back-drop of major social and economic changes:more people spending more time pursuinghigher levels of education; weaker maritalties (with common-law unions becomingmore common and marriage losing popular-ity); and increased participation of womenin the labour force,” states the study titledMaking fathers “count.”

“As women have been encouraged to enterthe public sphere, men have been occupyinga greater place in the domestic sphere. Onceconfined to the role of breadwinner, today’sfathers are more likely to be involved in theday-to-day care giving of children,” it adds.

It’s a far cry from the idyllic, nuclearfamily portrayed in popular television of the1950s and ‘60s — shows such as Make RoomFor Daddy and Leave it to Beaver — featur-ing a stay-at-home mother and a father whoappears detached from the day-to-day flow offamily life.

It’s a shift not lost on Sweeney, 50, whohas been coming to Richmond Family Placefor the past two years for the “dads-only”breakfasts.

“The role of dads, I think has changed.When I was growing up, my mom lookedafter the kids,” he says. “My dad came home,read his paper, had his dinner, watched soc-cer on the television and took the dog for awalk.”

That’s not to say Sweeney’s dad neverspent one-on-one time with him. But beingthe youngest of nine children, he was raisedin part by his older siblings.

“I grew up in Ireland and came here whenI was 13. And I can’t remember any daddoing a lot with their kids. I was lucky. Mydad would take me different places, or for aride on his bike,” Sweeney says. “I think dadsnow are more willing to be involved, theybabysit. And there are stay-at-home dads.And it’s not frowned upon, or looked at fun-nily.”

It’s a change in parental dynamics JaniceLambert, program director for RichmondFamily Place, has seen grow in the six or soyears the dads’breakfast pro-gram has beenoffered.

“I thinkthat time isshowing thatdads want tobe way moreinvolved withtheir children,”says Lambert.“I think aboutmy grandfather’s day, for instance, whereit was ‘Do as I say.’ Whereas, dads todaywant to have a better relationship, want to beinvolved. So, the authoritarian view of parent-hood is pretty much going by the wayside.”

So is the stigma of dads attending groupfunctions as a lone parent like at RichmondFamily Place

“I see a lot of younger families. They’re

a little bit more, I guess, comfortable in thiskind of environment,” says Henry Liu, 27, afamily support worker at Richmond FamilyPlace who facilitates the breakfast event eachSaturday morning. “They’re kinda used to thewhole fact, you know, that families (parents)can kind of split and share the responsibilityof bringing (children) up.”

It’s something Barry Mah embraces.Mah, 45 has been bringing along his five-

year-old daughter, Maleah, to the dads andkids-only breakfasts for the past three years.

“We likecoming here,”he says. “Shelikes playingwith the toysand meeting allthe other kids.It’s neat thatit’s a daddy’sthing.”

For Mah,the chanceto be in the

company of other dads is an opportunity tolearn new parenting skills in a less inhibitingenvironment.

“It’s kind of a different situation whenit’s just fathers with their child. Nowhereelse really has that,” he says, adding he wasthankful his father managed to spare sometime from his busy life to spend with himgrowing up.

“I find now, when I have my own child, Ikind of remember how he did things,” Mahsays. “It’s hard to make time, but you wantto make time. I want to do everything withmy daughter. Whenever I have free time, I’mwith her.”

“Dads need their own space,” Lambertsays. “Dads want to talk about what theywant to talk about. And the male perspectiveon parenting can be very dissimilar, some-times. It’s that need to bind with other fatherswho are going through the same experience.Some fathers may work from home. Somemay be out all day and still want to connectwith their children at the end of the day.”

“Basically, having two kids, we don’t havemuch social time,” says Sweeney. “So, wecome here and can chat about things likework, and everything under the sun. It givesus a chance to unwind a bit. It’s all guys. So,we sit around and talk.”

And when they do, they often find theyare not alone in their parenting world.

“You realize that a lot of people are shar-ing the same experience,” says Brent Bisdorf,36, who is a regular with his three-year-oldson, Lucas. “It’s good, if there’s an issue youare concerned about, you can talk to anotherdad and maybe they’ve been through it andthat helps you out.”

Hoping to provide a more inclusive expe-rience for his family is Philip Almendrala, 37,who brings his four-year-old son, Nathan, andtwo-year-old daughter, Louise.

“No, I don’t remember spending time withmy dad when I was young. Although we livedtogether in the Philippines, both my mom anddad were working.” He recalls spending timeon the weekends with his siblings.

“Dads need theirown space ... themale perspectiveon parenting can

be very dissimilar.”— Janice Lambert

The old African proverbthat it takes a village toraise a child is a good oneto follow, said MichaelMcCoy, executive directorof Richmond’s TouchstoneFamily Place whose mis-sion is to preserve andenhance family relation-ships.

But he is bringing theconcept a little closer tohome, suggesting increased

exposure to family, extend-ed or otherwise, in today’ssociety of blended andsingle parent families, isalso an important aspect.

McCoy added hebelieves there is no suchthing as a single parent.

“It takes two to make achild, so a child always hastwo parents,” he said, add-ing, “We’re moving back,or becoming more awarethat biological parents of achild, both are important,and you can’t excludeone for the benefit of theother.”

As an example of whatlengths some families aretaking to remain in contactif they do undergo some

form of change, McCoyreferred to a story he readabout a divorced couplewho decided to keep theirco-parenting efforts at theforefront by moving intohomes beside each other.

“And there’s a hallwayconnecting the two houses,so the kids are free to moveback and forth,” he said.

And when it comesto cementing the valueof extended family con-nections, McCoy said itis especially important toinclude grandparents, add-ing that up until the pasttwo decades that genera-tion played a significantrole in children’s lives.

“I think the stat in

Canada is that 35 per centof Canadian grandparentsrarely, if ever, see theirgrandchildren. So, there’san absolute need for chil-dren in life to have thosetouch points, touchstones,if you will, where they cango and feel safe.”

If that type of system isnot created where extendedfamily is present, McCoysaid children, as well asparents risk being isolated.

“We see a lot of thatwhere lone parents don’thave anyone to bounceanything off someone, andsituations can escalate.”

In those cases, parentsneed to look to the largercommunity for support.

Dad-only families on the rise

the Friday Feature

As parenting trends shift in society,it’s not only the rise of fathers play-ing a greater role in the upbringing oftheir children that is taking place.

According to Statistics Canada,lone, male parent families have risensteadily over the decade from 2001to 2011, the year of the most recentcensus.

In 2001, there were 245,825 lone,male parent families counted. Thatjumped to 281,775 in 2006. And in2011 there was a total of 327,545, arise of 16.2 per cent over a five-yearspan.

In comparison, female-only par-ent families rose six per cent in thesame period, but still led in the overallnumber of single parent families in thecountry with 1,200,295 in 2011.

So, why are “dad-only” families onthe rise?

Barbara Mitchell, a professor ofsociology and gerontology at SFU,said it’s a blend of changes in society.

“The recent rise in the rates of

single fatherhood is unprecedentedfrom a historical perspective,” shesaid. “It reflects significant changes ingender roles and societal attitudes, theeconomy, and in the ways that courtstreat custody cases.”

Mitchell explained that the legalsystem used to be quite biased infavour of awarding custody to moth-ers.

“Overall, we have seen a shift inparenting practices that have tradition-ally embraced the deeply entrenchedattitude that mother’s care is superiorand is always the best and that dadsare not able to nurture children to thesame capacity,” she said. “This viewwas particularly prevalent in the 1950sand 1960s when women were encour-aged to conform to strict gendered roledivisions that emphasized full-timemotherhood and domestic responsibili-ties over career goals.”

That started to change in the 1970swhen women entered the labour forcein record numbers and more soughthigher education.

“Women are also quickly becomingthe primary breadwinner in many fam-

ilies, especially with recent changesin the economy,” Mitchell said. “Thismeans that some mothers are less will-ing to want full-time custody and dadshave picked up more of the domesticslack, including raising children.”

And slowly, societal changes havealso decreased the stigma of fathersas caregiver, which, in turn, can fuelits popularity because it is seen as lessdeviant.

“Single dads are also more likely tolive with a partner than single moms,and this kind of family environmentmay be viewed as more positive whencustody decisions are made,” Mitchellsaid.

But despite new attitudes, somefathers can face challenges.

“For example, some stay-at-homesingle dads have been criticized for notworking full-time in the paid labourforce and for not adopting tradi-tional masculine roles,” Mitchell said.“Others may assume that these dadsare unable to fully meet the needs oftheir children simply because they aremale and therefore they may provideless support to them.”

No such thing as single parent: McCoyJOHN CORREA/SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

One-on-one time with dad is the aim of the specialbreakfast mornings at Richmond Family Place.

“What I experienced with my dad and my family, I don’twant my children to experience it,” he says. “I try to findsome time to spend with my children. I spend most of mytime going to work, then go home, sleep. So, this is my onlytime to spend with my children.”

William Wong, 40, who brings his four-year-old son,Samuel, and two-year-old daughter Emma to the breakfastssays he also had a father who was frequently too busy withwork to spend time with him. But he adds that given theopportunity he feels his father would have taken part more.

“I don’t know if there were many programs like this avail-able in the ’70s and ’80s,” he says. “But yeah, he would havebeen open to it. He always had a language problem, comingover (to England) from Hong Kong. I’d imagine, if he washere in Vancouver, realizing that there were programs in thesefacilities, he would have taken advantage of it.”

Imagine if the entire length of high-way between Vancouver and ThunderBay was littered with debris — cigarettebutts, plastic bags and food containers.

That stretch of highway is theapproximate length of shoreline (a littlemore than 3,000 kilometres) that wascleaned during the 2012 Great CanadianShoreline Cleanup, a joint collaborationbetween the Vancouver Aquarium andWWF, and the largest direct-action pub-lic conservation effort in the country.

It’s a lot of litter (more than 136,000kilograms worth), but it doesn’t evencome close to encompassing thetotal amount of litter that still plaguesCanada’s shorelines and negativelyimpacts surrounding communities andwildlife.

That’s why this year, even more volun-teers and site coordinators are neededto battle shoreline litter, a major environ-mental issue.

“No matter what form it comes in,shoreline litter and pollution puts eco-systems, wildlife and people at risk,” saidJill Dwyer, program manager for theGreat Canadian Shoreline Cleanup.

“This litter can negatively impactwater quality through contamination, aswell as the health of plants and animalsthat live in that ecosystem.”

The results of shoreline litter are far-reaching:

" Shoreline litter poses danger forpeople and causes economic damage toareas that rely on tourism or water-basedindustries, like fishing.

" Local wildlife run the risk of gettingtangled in or ingesting litter or otherpollutants.

" Organisms often attach to litter asit flows through water systems, causinginvasive species to infiltrate foreign habi-tats and damage the sensitive balance ofthe ecosystem.

"Wildlife entangled in litter suchas plastic bags, six-pack rings, ribbon,fishing line or food wrappers can havetheir movements restricted, be injuredor even eventually drown, suffocate orstarve.

" Animals like sea turtles often mis-take plastic bags for jellyfish and swallowthem. This clogs their digestive tracts,leading to starvation and death.

"Water quality is affected by the tox-ins emitted from litter.

The good news is that you can be partof the solution to keep our shorelineshealthy for your community and wildlife.

During last year’s cleanup effort inBritish Columbia, more than 136,036kilograms of shoreline litter was col-lected from the province’s shorelines— the approximate weight of 27 Stellersea lions — but there’s more where thatcame from.

This fall, our national cleanup effort— part of the Ocean Conservancy’sInternational Coastal Cleanup — willtake place from Sept. 21-29.

Adopt a local shoreline as a site coor-dinator, or volunteer with an existingcleanup — right in your own commu-nity. Online registration opened in Mayat ShorelineCleanup.ca, or sign up byemailing [email protected].

I’m sure you have seen some properties advertised in an “As Is” condition or perhaps you have made anoffer on a home where the Seller refuses to provide a Property Disclosure Statement. What does this mean toa prospective Buyer and what are the ramifications? There is a fairly high obligation on the Buyer to inspectand discover any patent defects in the property they are purchasing. Caveat Emptor, puts the onus on the Buyerto have a duty to investigate and discover deficiencies that “could have been discovered upon a reasonableinspection and by making reasonable inquiries.” However, there are several exceptions to the rule of CaveatEmptor, such as: when a Seller breaches his duty to disclose a latent defect which renders the propertydangerous and/or uninhabitable. If you encounter one of these situations on a home purchase, just ask your realestate professional for direction on the best course of action to deal with these scenarios.

Evan Dunfee has landed onthe podium at the 27th SummerUniversiade in Kazan, Russia.

The Richmond native teammedup with Inaki Gomez and BenThorne to win bronze in the men’s20-kilometre team race walkingcompetition on Tuesday. Theircombined time of four hours, 20minutes and 35 seconds (4:20:35)left them behind only Russia

(4:04:31) and Ukraine (4:08:09).Gomez, a 2012 Olympian, was

the first Canadian to cross thefinish line in a time of 1:22:29,which was good for fifth posi-tion in the individual standings.He had also placed fifth in theevent at the 2011 FISU Gamesin Shenzhen, China. Thorne was16th in a personal best 1:26:59,while Dunfee was 21st in 1:31:07.

All three Canadians were aim-ing for top-10 finishes individu-ally but Thorne and Dunfee, bothUBC students, had to slow theirpace after committing two fouls inthe first half of the race.

“It’s great to win a medal butright now it’s hard for me to trulyappreciate it because I’m prettydisappointed with my individualresult,” said Dunfee, who earned

his second caution near the mid-way point of the race. “I felt sogood today, possibly the best I’veever felt at the 10km mark. Butlike Ben, I knew I had to shut itdown for the team.”

The trio will be back inRussia next month for the IAAFworld athletics championships inMoscow (August 10-18). Gomezand Thorne will compete in the

20km, while Dunfee qualified forthe 50km event.

Canada had won threeUniversiade medals in race walk-ing in the past. Guillaume Leblancclaimed gold in the 20km in1983 in Edmonton and bronze inthe same event in 1985 in Kobe,Japan, while Ann Peel capturedbronze in the 5km in 1987 inZagreb, Yugoslavia.

The 2013 Audi S7— the “sports” version of thealready impressive A7 — isa car that brings an amazinglevel of performance, powerand prestige without sacrific-ing the balance of comfortand convenience.

While the cosmeticchanges that separate theA7 from the S7 are subtle,the extra oomph that theS7 brings to the table in theform of horsepower is signif-

icant and impressive indeed.

DesignThe 2013 Audi S7 deliv-

ers superb performance, butit can also help you run your“normal chores” — thanks toa functionality that can alsoimpress.

Some may not be fansof what could be describedloosely as a luxury hatchback(at least in terms of the basicarchitecture sense), but thisis by far the best lookingexample available.

And, while looks go along way in this segment, adash of practicality can alsosweeten the package. In thelooks department, S modelsare dressed with a uniqueversion of Audi’s single-frame grill, plus aero treat-ments on the front fascia anddown the sides.

Black brake calipers,aluminium optic side mir-rors, grey rear diffuser, quadpolished exhaust tips andV8T fender badges are alsofeatured on this model.

Having said that, youreally have to spend sometime behind the wheel to geta true sense of what makesthe S7 an S7.

Essentially, that meansbetter steering feel and flatterhandling, to name just someof the “upgrades.”

And of course, there’sthe out-of-this-world powerupgrade thanks to the tur-bocharged 4.0-litre V8 withcylinder deactivation.

This is the same enginefound in the BentleyContinental GT but outputhere is 420-hp and 405 ft-lbsof torque — slightly detunedfrom the Bentley version.

All S7’s feature the mostadvanced quattro all-wheel-drive system available. It hasan active rear differential

which not only splits torqueto whichever rear wheel isdemanding the most traction,but it also shifts power to theoutside wheel when corner-ing to help you get throughwith less steering input.

A lowered air suspensionwith variable damping andbigger brakes complete the

package.

PerformanceWhen set to dynamic,

Audi’s Drive Select systemfirms up the suspension set-tings and adds more respon-sive, weighted steering. It

By next weekend, the large annex at theThompson Community Centre takes a pageout of Shakespeare as the Community ArtsCouncil of Richmond (CACR) hosts the sec-ond annual Midsummer Art’s Dream.

At Friday’s opening reception, from 6 to8:30 p.m., guests will walk through the art-work by more than 60 artists to the sound ofa three-piece string quartet on the patio.

The whirlwind weekend show will certain-ly feel dreamlike by Sunday evening wheneverything has to be taken down, as the spaceis in demand.

“I think we had to book it about a yearago,” said Margaret Stephens, the CACR pri-mary administrator. “But we’re very excitedto have this separate space where the artworkcan be displayed nicely with good lighting.”

It’s a typical scenario for Richmond wheredue to demands on space, exhibits are usuallybrief and held in non-gallery type settings.

Since rent got too expensive for theCACR’s own galleria three years ago, it’shad to hunt for alternative spaces to hold itsannual show.

Like the CACR, more and more artists inthe close-knit community are finding alterna-

tive ways to showcase their work outside thegallery and in larger city spacesº.

Earlier this year, artist Jeanette Jarvillebegan curating group exhibits at RocaniniCafé, where she had already been exhibiting.

“I found that people are out there want-ing it, wanting to see art, it’s just not alwaysavailable to them,” said the long-timeRichmond resident and artist.

Every six to eight weeks, Jarville has art-

ists deliver their pieces to Rocanini and shespends about three hours hanging them onthe bright walls of the café.

“We’re making the wheels turn and find-ing new places to show,” she said.

Jarville also opens up her home for pri-vate group exhibits as another alternativewhen the traditional white walls are in highdemand.

Coffee shops such as Rocanini Café andAlegria Café, as well, are a way to reconcilea dearth of exhibit space, while exposingpeople to the palette of work produced in thecity. However, for events like the CACR’sannual show, they prove too small.

“The Richmond Cultural Centre is one ofthe few places that really works in terms ofcrossing over with the general public,” saidartist David Dorrington. “The library’s there,so there’s a lot of traffic in and out.”

While the Richmond Art Gallery is alsolocated in the centre, due to its vision forprofessional and issue-oriented work, it’s dif-ficult for local artists, particularly amateurones, to get some space.

“What’s happening is that the amateurtypes have been frozen out,” said Dorrington.“They aren’t getting the shows in the gallery.They’re at the bottom of the pyramid, but are

Among the English, thepractice of giving surnamesis less than a thousand yearsold. Surnames were formedfrom occupations (Baker),place names (Lincoln), pat-ronymics (Johnson, meaningson of John), or nicknames(Dolittle, meaning a lazyperson).

In other words, a sur-name is a word or phrasetaken from the language andapplied to a person.

But the process can alsobe reversed. Every now andthen, someone comes alongwho leaves an indeliblemark on society, with theresult that their name makesits way back into the lan-guage as a word in its ownright. Such words are calledeponyms.

In school we learned thatLouis Pasteur (1822-95)invented a method of steril-ization — it became knownas pasteurization. When thescience teacher explainedelectricity to us, he usedthe words watt — a unit ofpower, from the name of theScottish mechanical engineer

James Watt (1736-1819);volt — the practical unit ofelectromotive force, from theItalian physicist AlessandroVolta (1745-1827); and amp— the unit of current, fromthe French physicist André-Marie Ampère (1775-1836).

The list of eponymscontinues. Macadamisation,for instance, is a tech-nique for building durable,smooth roads composed ofsmall stones, invented bythe Scottish engineer JohnMcAdam (1756-1836).

Later, when tar was addedas a binding medium, theroad surface became knownas tarmac (still a term forairport runways).

Mercerised cotton takesits name from John Mercer(1791-1866), an Englishchemist who discovered a

means of treating cottonfibre to make stronger, morelustrous threads.

In 1823, CharlesMackintosh (1766-1843)patented a process forwaterproofing cloth withindia-rubber. Mackintosh (ormack) became the genericword for a raincoat.

Lord Cardigan, wholed the charge of the LightBrigade in the CrimeanWar (1853-56), is nowmore widely rememberedfor a type of knitted jacketassociated with his name— the cardigan. His com-patriot Lord Raglan lost hisright arm in the Crimea,after which he favoured anovercoat designed with thesleeve set into a wide, loosearmhole — the raglan sleeve,still popular today.

The term that’s become asynonym for organized ostra-cism — boycott — origi-nated with Captain Boycott,land agent in Ireland, who inSeptember 1880 refused tolower the rents of protestingtenants. The President of theIrish Land League advisedeveryone to cease dealingwith him, which had suchan impact that already in

November 1880 the LondonTimes referred to the actionas boycotting.

Bobby, the nicknamefor an English policeman,comes from Sir Robert Peel,who established the LondonMetropolitan police force in1829.

John Montagu, 4th Earlof Sandwich (1718-92),couldn’t stop gamblingeven to eat, so he had hambetween two pieces of breadbrought to the card table.The eccentricity caught on,and we’ve been eating sand-wiches ever since.

My list has many morenames — Hobson, Bloomer,Bowdler, Mesmer, Spooner,and others — but I’ve runout of space. A final remark— to the best of my knowl-edge, there are no enduringeponyms from the post-WWII era. Unless, that is, hoover-ing (W.H. Hoover developedthe vacuum cleaner, 1908)will soon be replaced bydysoning (James Dyson,born 1947, invented therevolutionary Dual Cyclonevacuum cleaner).

the most numerous and there’s no room forthem to exhibit.”

Dorrington says the main problem is inthe budget for culture. Cultural events andexhibits are part of the parks and leisurebudget, which means culture money includesputting turf on a soccer field, for example.

“The fact that culture is somehow leisureis bizarre,” he said. “It’s viewing it from abusiness perspective, as if you can buy cul-ture.

“Culture is what holds a society together.An artist’s job is to ask questions, make usaware and comment on society.”

The decision to lump culture with parksand leisure on a city level is historic, said citycouncillor Linda Barnes.

However, to address this, council created aseparate arts grants program for artists abouttwo years ago. It separates them from themain budget and allows them to use the grantmoney in whichever way they choose.

“When we don’t have to use grant moneyfor rent, we can spend it on advertising and

other things to get people into the building,”said Stephens.

The onus is left on the community to gettogether and raise funds to develop artist-runcentres or smaller spaces to exhibit.

“We’re constantly looking for developersand opportunities to create artist space, butunfortunately there are so many demands onour budget right now,” said Barnes.

As part of the new development on No. 3Road and Sea Island Way, a number of unitshave been zoned for live/work spaces.

The intent is for artists to use the spaceas a place to exhibit and sell their own work,according to Barnes, although she wasn’tsure of the number of units or the timelinefor the project.

“I totally agree that there has to be thatprofessional space as well,” said Barnes. “Butthese units and community projects are whet-ting the appetite for art in Richmond.

“Art is a learning experience and theseartists are beginning that curve. So maybepeople are having coffee at Rocanini thisyear, but stepping into an art gallery nextyear.”
