Victim ofDover Parkshootingmissing
A North Vancouver manwounded four years agoin a gangland shooting inRichmond’s Dover Park has beenreported missing by relatives.
Vahid Mahanian, 35, wentfor lunch with two friends inVancouver on June 27 and hasnot been seen since, according toNorth Vancouver RCMP.
Police say Mahanian’s motherand fiance reported him missingJune 30 and say his disappear-ance is very out of character forhim.
He is described as having amedium build, with black hairand brown eyes. At the time hewas last seen, Mahanian waswearing a blue t-shirt, shorts andwhite runners. He is believed tobe driving a blue 1994 PontiacGran Am with BC license plate051 RAN.
Mahanian spent two fullyears recovering from injurieshe sustained when two groupsopened fire on each other inDover Park north of WestminsterHighway and between LynasLane and No. 2 Road. in January2007.
Two others wounded in theshoot-out were gangsters NikkiTajali and Sahand Askari. Morethan 150 shots were fired.
Mahanian’s mother Showkatsaid Saturday that her son hadnever been in a gang, but was achildhood friend of Tajali andhis brother David and had goneto the park that day to try toresolve a dispute they had withothers.

Market steals away shoppers say local merchants
A “glorified swap meet” and“food court” are some words usedby local merchants to describethis year’s Steveston Farmers andArtisans Market.
Now in its fourth year, the bi-monthly Sunday market continues tostruggle to find a balance betweenpromoting local products and busi-nesses and attracting shoppers fromaround Metro Vancouver.
“I like the concept of a farm-ers and artisans market — albeityou have to weigh the conse-quences,” said Tim Culling, ownerof Timothy’s Frozen Yogurt onBayview Street.
“I know for a fact everyone up
here (on Bayview) is hurting everyother Sunday,” said Janice Sieg,owner of the Pierside Deli.
Bayview Street food merchantslike Sieg and Culling, whose busi-nesses lie beyond a stone’s throwaway from the market on ThirdAvenue, contend that while the mar-ket does draw people to Stevestonsuch shoppers are not venturingoutside the market to eat food. ForSieg, market days mean less busi-ness for her deli shop.
Sieg contends the reason isbecause the market has allowed ven-dor tables to sell ready-to-eat snackslike hot dogs and chilli as well ashaving a coffee stand.
Last year the market was facedwith similar complaints frombusinesses, which resulted in the
elimination of some non-local foodvendors, such as Hunky Bill’s pero-gie stand.
“It’s supposed to be (farm-ers) with fresh produce or (local)artisans with handmade items. Itdefinitely has turned into somethingdifferent,” Sieg said.
Other merchants have also com-plained that market visitors clogthe village so store patrons havenowhere to park.
Jim Kojima, president of theSteveston Community Society,which operates the market, said hav-ing some food vendors is neededfor the market’s atmosphere and theshopper’s convenience.
“With coffee it’s more a conve-nience to the shopper than a slightto other coffee shops,” he said,
noting some food vendors are fund-raising for charity such as a ScoutsCanada hot dog stand last weekend.
Kojima said having food vendorsthis year has taken away the sting oflosing some fresh produce tables asa result of the cold spring.
“We’re trying to make a nice bal-ance between all the different ven-dors. We want more farmers there ifwe can get them there.”
The market’s manager PaulaMorimoto said the market drawsthousands to Steveston every otherSunday. She said it wouldn’t makesense that none of those people areventuring around the village duringthe day.
She added that the food offered

Diving for dream job leads to BaliKenzo Kiren’s creativity won him the chance to live in Indonesia, train to be a diving instructor
It’s Tuesday night at Lansdowne Earl’srestaurant, 7 p.m. and the dinner rush is on.
Twenty-three-year-old Kenzo Kiren isbusily leading the kitchen team.
The phone rings.It’s his girlfriend, Danielle. She’s hysteri-
cal. She’s screaming, “You won, you won.”At the same time, Kiren’s parents enter
the restaurant with a big sign that reads,“You won.”
Everyone, from the customers to all ofEarl’s Restaurant staff, started clapping andshouting words of congratulations.
“It was incredible,” recalls Kiren, as hedescribes the moment last March, when helearned he won Blue Season Bali’s The BestDive Job in the World 2011, a prize packageworth $16,000.
“My mom and dad were smiling andlaughing … it was one of the greatestmoments of my life,” added the longtimeRichmond resident.
Late last year, Kiren learned of the com-petition put on by the Indonesia-based divecompany.
He had just returned from the Caribbeanon a family vacation where he had spent afew days scuba diving.
“I tried scuba diving for the first time inSouth Africa and fell in love with diving,”said Kiren.
“It was after returning from our Caribbeantrip that I started Googling dive jobs andstumbled upon the contest.”
The competition drew more than 300contestants from around the globe. The prizethat was up for grabs was a seven-monthdream job, which included the training tobecome a certified scuba diving instructor,accommodation for seven months while inBali, his own diving equipment worth morethan $1,500, free teaching materials, lunchand drinks on every dive.
“At first, my dad wasn’t sure if it was areal contest,” said Kiren, adding he will loga minimum of 300 dives before his stint isover.
“Then, after he realized it was, both myparents were very supportive.”
Before his big win, Kiren had planned togo to university to finish his human kinet-ics degree (he has a two-year diploma fromLangara College).
However, when the competition came up,he chose to put all his efforts into that.
His five-month challenge included a 500-word essay and some one-minute videos overthe months.
“In the end, I produced four videos andthe essay,” he said. “The first two months ofthe contest, the company was still accepting
entries and then in the last two weeks of thecompetition they named the 10 finalists.
“It was a nerve-wracking time.”It was the videos featured on YouTube that
snagged him thousands of votes.In the end, the young man who grew up
loving the ocean came out triumphant.On The Best Dive Job in the World web-
site, the Blue Season Bali team wrote aboutKiren’s win: “Kenzo fought his way throughthe past several months to emerge as thisyear’s winner despite fierce competitionfrom some spectacular contestants. Likemany of our entrants, his efforts have beenboth entertaining and candid, revealing a per-sonality we are happy to welcome into ourteam.”
Pranjal Kathari, 14, is happy to be reunitedwith his brand new mountain bike after it wassuccessfully recovered by Richmond RCMP.
On June 16, around 4:30 p.m., RichmondRCMP were called to Kathari’s home inBurkeville after his family discovered that hisbrand new mountain bike had been stolen fromtheir backyard. Cpl. Turley said “Kathari hadthe mountain bike for only a day. There were nosuspects believed to be responsible, which leftinvestigators with little to work with.”
Investigators from Richmond RCMP’sProperty Crime Unit became aware of the theftand began digging around. They learned that aprolific offender who had recently been releasedfrom custody had been arrested in Richmonddays earlier. The offender’s whereabouts, leadingup to the arrest, were determined at which pointthe mountain bike was recovered in an area thatthe male was known to frequent.
Six days after the theft,Richmond RCMP returned to Burkeville andhanded the mountain bike over to Kathari.
Kathari was very happy to see his bike againand can now enjoy the summer riding aroundhis neighborhood, said RCMP spokeswomanSherrdean Turley in a press release.

Kiren’s mother, KeikoKiren, was “absolutelyecstatic and thrilled for him.”“Kenzo has always loved thewater, he’d be wilted like anold lady and we still couldn’tget him out,” said Keiko witha laugh.
When they received thenews that their son had won,Keiko said she screamed andcried. Then, as her husbandwas about to text Kenzo tolet him know he won, Keikostopped him.
“I told him, no way, weare going to Earl’s to let himknow,” she said. “That morn-ing, I had made up a posterwith the facts about the con-test and words of congratula-tion … just in case he won,
and I wanted to bring it to therestaurant and surprise him.
“This was an amazing andtough worldwide contest, andI saw how hard he worked …Kenzo’s hard work paid off.”
Kiren remembers the firsttime he ever went diving. Itwas on a 2008 trip with hismom to Mozambique, Africa.
“We were traveling fortwo weeks through SouthAfrica and the opportunityto dive came up,’ said Kiren.“I loved it right away … youget this deep connection tothe sea life and no two divesare alike. The ocean is silentbut explosive with colour andlife. It’s an adventure everytime you go down.”
However, at about $100a pop for a two-tank dive, it
gets expensive for a youngman on a budget.
Kiren is now packing upand getting ready to embarkon his adventure of a life-time. He leaves, with his girl-friend, on Aug. 8 for Bali.
“If all goes well after myseven months training I couldbe hired as a dive instruc-tor for Blue Season Bali,”he said. “If that happens,I’ll have to decide if I comeback to Canada to finish mydegree or I might also goback to study marine biology.

Kelly Krull, manager of Splash Toys onMoncton Street, said her business has beenpositively impacted by the market crowds.
“I find it positive, any attraction thatbrings new people to Steveston. I think themarket is great. Albeit, for me, I understandother businesses might have an issue because(the market) is duplicating the businesses thatexist,” she said.

She said he hid behind hiscar as the shots rang out. “Hewas yelling: ‘what are youguys doing?’” Showkat said.
Mahanian was moreseriously wounded than theothers and had 15 surgeries,including a hip replacement,his mother said. Since then,he graduated with honoursfrom UBC, she said.

Richmond will say goodbye to a respect-ed businessman, philanthropist and Orderof British Columbia recipient Friday, July22.
Milan Ilich, who was well known for hischarity, died June 29 at the age of 76 after a14-month battle with acute leukemia.
The self-made millionaire, who shunnedthe limelight, is being remembered through-out Richmond for his various communitycauses.
“On behalf of the Richmond HospitalFoundation, we would like to pass on ourcondolences to the Ilich family during thisdifficult time,” said Bill Jaffe, chair, theRichmond Hospital Foundation. “Milan’sdedication to the community, philanthropicefforts and general willingness to help oth-ers will be missed by everyone who had thepleasure of meeting him.”
The Milan & Maureen Ilich Foundationsupported the Richmond HospitalFoundation for many years. His donationswere instrumental in the hospital purchas-ing its first MRI and CT scanner. In honourof Milan and Maureen Ilich, the medicalimaging centre was later named after them.
Ilich was involved in many endea-vours, including establishing, with hiswife Maureen, a Canada research chair inmultiple sclerosis, keeping professionalsoccer in Metro Vancouver as owner ofthe Vancouver 86ers, and serving on theplanning committee for the 2010 WinterOlympic and Paralympic Games.
Born on Aug. 19, 1934 to a workingclass family in the northwest B.C. coastalmining town of Anyox, Ilich’s father movedhis young family to Richmond for a job asa ditch cleaner. Milan Ilich was one yearold.
Ilich, who dropped out of high school inGrade 12, took a job pumping gas beforetaking a job as a dump truck driver. Drivingthat truck became his ticket to the construc-tion business.
He began Progressive Construction, apaving company, with his wife Maureen.Progressive Construction went on to pavenearly every road in Richmond, as well asmany of its subdivisions.
Over the ensuing years, Ilich became thecity’s most successful developer. FormerLiberal MLA Richmond Centre OlgaIlich met Milan Ilich when he hired her at
Progressive in 1980.“Milan was a very astute business-
man who taught me how to do business,”said Olga Ilich, who was once married toMilan’s younger brother Bob. “I couldn’thave asked for a better mentor … anyonecould do a business deal with Milan on ahandshake.”
He went on to make Olga Ilich his exec-utive vice president. “When I started mycompany (Suncor Developments), we didmany deals as partners.
“He will be very much missed, there isno one like him,” she added.
Although few would dispute Ilich’s gen-erosity as a philanthropist, some have ques-tioned whether all his developments havebeen in the best interest of Richmond.
Developing Terra Nova, for example,was extremely divisive and earned hima few enemies who argued that the landshould have been maintained for agricul-tural use.
The controversy spawned the SaveRichmond’s Farmlands Society, whichfought with Ilich in the courts more thanonce.
But once the development received thegreen light, Ilich was amenable to council’srequest for childcare and affordable housingto also be built in the Terra Nova commu-nity, Steves noted in an interview.
Ilich leaves behind his wife Maureen,daughter Laurie and son Rick and theirspouses, five grandchildren and seven sib-lings. A celebration of Ilich’s life will beheld on Friday, July 22 at 1:30 p.m. at theRichmond Funeral Home, 8420 CambieRd.

Try as you might to ignore it, the news has been allabout William and Kate’s visit.
Not since Paul Revere galloped throughMassachusetts have so many gotten so worked up over thearrival of some British people.
Why? The Duke of Cambridge is second in line to theBritish throne, and so he will likely become our nominal headof state, but not for many, many years. The Windsors are along-lived bunch, so we probably won’t have to wade throughhis media-saturated coronation for at least another 15 to 20years.
Even when William does become king, the impact on thelives of Canadians won’t go much further than some newcoins.
The naming of a new Governor General was far more con-sequential, but alas, poor David Johnston was deprived of hisvictory lap and adoring crowds.
Of course, the new GG is just an old guy in a suit barelyanyone had heard of before.
William and Kate are a very attractive young couple whoget to wear lots of elaborate clothes and ride around in horse-drawn carriages, fresh off the global success of the Weddingof the Century.
They don’t say much, they don’t do much, and theywon’t ever have to decide whether or not to prorogue ourParliament. They’re easy to like.
There’s nothing wrong with a bit of escapism, particu-larly during turbulent times. But it does seem a little silly todevote so much of our national attention to two people whoseachievements to date consist of growing up and getting mar-ried.
Liberals cautious on fall election

Speculation aboundsthat Premier Christy Clarkis itching to call an electionthis fall, but I can’t help butthink the chances of thatvote actually occurring arediminishing.
The delay in getting theresults of the HST referen-dum alone may be enoughto push the election dateto the spring or the fallof 2012. The results maynot be known until earlySeptember, and it’s hard toimagine Clark calling anelection until she knows thefate of the HST.
That means a mid-September call at the earli-est. But how wise is it to goto the voters after a contro-versial tax is either voteddown or narrowly accepted?
I haven’t met anyonewho thinks the HST willpass by a large margin.Even the most optimisticpro-HST folks seem tothink a 55-45 per cent splitis the best-case scenario.
If that turns out to be theresult, it translates to almosthalf the electorate prob-ably being upset that a taxthey opposed will indeedbe imposed on them – notexactly the kind of publicmood a premier would wantto test with an election call..
And recent polls hardlysuggest the B.C. Liberalsenjoy a comfortable marginof support among votersover the NDP. No issue hasemerged that gives Clarksa decided edge over NDPleader Adrian Dix.
In fact, Dix has played itfairly safe since taking thehelm of the NDP. He hasmade no rash promises, andhe has toned down his nega-
tive image.If anything, Dix has been
measured in his criticismand has offered at least onethoughtful proposal thatcould significantly reducethe amount of money spenton prescription drugs.
In short, Dix has provid-ed few openings for Clarkto exploit. Her party is benton portraying Dix as somesort of grim leftist, but sofar he’s making it difficultfor them to accomplish that.
If any leader hasstumbled a bit recently, it isClark. Her recent musingsabout Senate reform seemedpoorly thought out andpolitically naïve (expectingOntario and Quebec to giveup senate seats so B.C. canincrease its share seems likesomething out of left field).
Her chance encounterwith former Olympics bossJohn Furlong led him tobeing appointed co-com-missioner of the review ofthe Stanley Cup riot. Mycolleague, Rod Mickleburghof the Globe and Mail, haspointed out that Furlong’sappointment is at least curi-ous because of the harshcriticism of VancouverMayor Gregor Robertsonhe delivered in his book,Patriot Hearts.
Clark also toned downher initially aggressiveattack on the rioters, sayingnow she wants to go after
only the “core” element ofthe mob.
These events lend cre-dence to the impression thatClark is making up policyon the back of a napkin.The “families first” agendaseems stalled and anymomentum she had comingout of her party’s leadershiprace seems to have disap-peared. Nevertheless, Clarkhas her party on electionfooting. Candidates arebeing recruited as is cam-paign staff, and MLAs arebeing asked if they intend torun again.
Energy Minister RichColeman is in charge ofelection readiness, andrumours abound that he per-sonally is not in favour of afall election. One of Clark’schief challenges when shebecame party leader wasto maintain party unity.Publicly, she seems to bedoing well on that front butbehind the scenes it may bea different story.
But the arguments foran early election are stillthere: the B.C. Liberalsdon’t want to give the B.C.Conservatives much timeto become organized, andthe NDP may face the sameproblems as the Liberalswhen it comes to electionreadiness.
So Clark is indeed tryingto keep her election windowopen. The problem is thatthe window is shrinkingrapidly, and she may ulti-mately find it shut too tightto enable her and her partyto squeeze through it anytime soon.

The Editor,Thank you for your recent full-colour spread of
Gateway Theatre’s annual fundraising “pARTy” and forreporting on the vitality of the arts and artists in our com-munity. Not only is there a ravenous appetite for a varietyof canvases and sculptures, but there is a genuine commit-ment by artists to support each other to sustain this vitalsector of our local economy.
All the artists donated their work so that the theatrecould raise funds for upcoming shows on the Main Stageand Studio.
Gateway’s board, staff and volunteers used their creativ-ity, innovation and skills to produce a unique event thatwill no doubt be the highlight of upcoming seasons.
But expertise aside, they gave freely from their heartsand put the “fun” in fundraising.
To all the restaurateurs, wineries, caterers, volunteers,media and artists, you accomplished more than just a posi-tive fundraiser. You contributed to doing what the arts dobest. You brought members of our community together tocelebrate and support each other.
And we are stronger for it.Thanks, thanks and thanks again.

The Editor,It was with great excitement that I
looked forward to attending the StevestonSalmon Festival on July 1, along with mypartner and our many children.
Knowing that, with corporate sponsor-ship, numerous non-profit organizationswould benefit, I could think of no betterway to celebrate Canada Day.
You can imagine my disappointment todiscover that the Right To Life organiza-tion was part of this community paradeand appeared to have a long-standingassociation with the Salmon Festival.
In case the organizers of the SalmonFestival are unaware, the Right To LifeSociety (citation 1) is little more than anevangelical Christian-oriented anti-abor-tion group.
That the venerable Salmon Festival hasbecome a forum to promote their rightwing political views is in stark contrastwith what one expects to find from acommunity event of this nature.
The grandiose nature of their floatnotwithstanding, many of us in the com-munity find their loud Christian worshipmusic and their religious-moral viewpointdeeply offensive (and arguably extremist.)
The Supreme Court of Canada, in alandmark 1988 decision ruled that inaccordance with the Canadian Charter ofRights and Freedoms, Section 7 (citation3) this individual freedom should not beinterfered with, specifically with regards
to abortion.As a Canadian citizen I find it offen-
sive that an outdated moral view thatcontravenes the charter on a matter thatwomen have struggled to obtain freedomfor, is given sanctioned publicity andrecruitment opportunities through anevent, simply because the organizationhas formed a legal entity as a registeredsociety.
Religious groups that were part of theparade were handing out invitations tochildren to attend a “fun event” and thenstopping to spent time trying to convincechildren (mine included) as to why theirparents should allow them to attend theirrecruitment drive.
Is this what one should expect as acaptive audience at a parade?
A flag, a stick-on tattoo, a treat, stickeror even a spray of water from the fireengine seems more appropriate than athinly disguised solicitation aimed at chil-dren.
Can the Steveston Salmon Festival(please note the name is the SalmonFestival and not the Sunday SchoolFestival) find its way to being a represen-tative community parade or will historyview this as the point at which specialinterest groups, with religiously inspiredmoral viewpoints, permanently hijackedthis once-respected event?

The Editor,As someone who’s
attended every singleSalmon Festival for the last20 years, I’ve sadly wit-nessed an unmistakeablesteady decline in the over-all quality of the event.
For almost the samereason teachers can’t givetheir students hugs any-more, there’s now, due toapprehension about publicsafety, no rides, no bingo,no beer-garden by thebaseball diamond, no noth-ing.
The audacity to chargemoney for the pile ofinflatable crap they callcarnival rides is idiotic and
disreputable.I brought family friends
from Lebanon, and I feltembarrassed.
They have better ridesat Burger King.
I always enjoyed theArmenian Coptic church’sGyro food stand, but eventhat was gone.
They sold tickets forrides on one side of thecommunity centre thatweren’t recognized on theother; it was like Northand South Korea.
This is the fourth yearthat I’ve been offendedby the nuisance of theFalun Dafa handing outbrochures with grotesque
pictures of them being tor-tured in China.
We don’t need to seethat at a family event.

Some rules don’t makesense for neighbourhood
BYLAWS
The Editor,Now we have bylaw
officers spending daysvisiting homes in our cen-trally located neighbour-hood, which lacks curbsand sidewalks.
In an effort to pro-tect the boulevards (cityproperty) from a dailyinflux of autos picking upchildren from the localschool, the residents haveresorted to placing obsta-cles on the neatly trimmedboulevards to prevent theirdestruction.
These obstacles rangefrom boulders, to sectionsof small plastic or wirefences decorated withflourescent tape.
This is a no-no, saysthe inspector.
It must cease at once,or the city will removethe obstructions at ourexpense.
Now, here’s the funny
part.The bylaw is quoted
in a hand delivered letter,and I quote in part:
“No persons shall exca-vate in, cause a nuisanceupon, encumber, obstruct,injure, foul or otherwisedamage any portion of ahighway or other publicplace — etc., etc.”
From personal observa-tion, some of these driv-ers have no hesitation inliterally destroying theboulevards during the wetseason.
In several cases theyheedlessly gouged rutsinto the soil, not once butrepetitively, to the pointwhere an underlying resi-dential water service wasdamaged and requiredreplacement.
I ask whether theabove quoted sectionof the bylaw should notprompt the bylaw people
to expend at least a smallpart of their energies onthe policing of this wantondestruction, rather thanharassing homeownerswho wish only to maintainthe appearance of theirneighbourhood.
Or, perhaps the schoolboard could section off asmall part of their pavedparking lot for the dropoff/pick up of children.
There seem to be atleast 50-plus vehicles inthe lot each school day,despite this being a fairlysmall school.
I further ask, whetherthis same bylaw will beenforced upon all sectionsof Richmond?
I say this in light ofpersonal observations of“obstacles” placed onmany boulevards in otherareas of our city.

The following bylaw will be considered for adoption by City Council on July 11, 2011:
City Centre Area Transitional Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 8776
Pursuant to the Municipalities Enabling And Validating Act (No. 4) (Bill 15) and Section 227 of the CommunityCharter, public notice is being provided that Richmond City Council will consider adoption of the City Centre AreaTransitional Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 8776 (“Bylaw 8776”) at the July 11, 2011 Council meeting.
Commercial and light industrial properties in the City Centre area have experienced substantial increases in propertytaxes since 2005 due to various factors, including changes to the Richmond Official Community Plan to permit highdensity mixed-use developments in the area, construction of the Canada Line, rapid redevelopment in the area, anddemand causing significant increases to the fair market and assessment values of properties in the area. Thepurpose of Bylaw 8776 is to protect jobs and businesses in the City Centre area during the transition of the areafrom primarily commercial and light industrial to high density mixed-use by providing temporary partial taxexemptions to eligible properties located within the City Centre Area Plan (“CCAP”) area, as specified in theRichmond Official Community Plan Bylaw 7100 Amendment Bylaw 8383, Schedule 2.10 – City Centre Area Plan.
All properties that satisfy the following criteria and conditions will be eligible for the exemption:
a) the property is located within the CCAP area;b) the property is classified only as Class 5 or 6 under the Assessment Act;c) the property’s assessed land value (not including improvements) has increased by 100 per cent or more
between the 2005 and 2011 revised assessment rolls;d) the municipal taxes for the property has increased by more than $30,000 between the 2005 and 2011
taxation years;e) the property contains improvements, as determined by the BC Assessment Authority;f) the property is not a strata lot;g) the property contains at least one business that holds a valid City business licence;h) the owner of the property has entered into an exemption agreement with the City; andi) the property has been issued an exemption certificate.
The available exemption under Bylaw 8776 is equal to a reduction of 20 per cent of the assessed land value (notincluding improvements) of an eligible property. Exemptions will be provided to eligible properties on an annualbasis during the next five years, from the 2012 to 2016 taxation years.
Staff will be hosting a public meeting to explain Bylaw No. 8776 on Wednesday, July 6 at 4:00 p.m. in room M.2.004at Richmond City Hall.
Written submissions may be made to Council on the proposed bylaw by writing to the City Clerk c/o 6911 No. 3Road, Richmond, BC V6Y 2C1, by sending a fax to 604-278-5139 or by sending an email to [email protected] may also be made for delegations to Council by calling 604-276-4387.
All submissions received prior to the bylaw adoption will be forwarded to Council for consideration. A copy of thereport and the proposed bylaw is available on the City website at www.richmond.ca (City Hall > City Council >Agendas & Minutes > Council Meetings > 2011 Agendas & Minutes > June 27, 2011) or by calling the FinanceDepartment at 604-276-4218.
Summer is a fantastic time of year for students.Sleeping in, extended bedtimes, no homework -it’s a break from the regular routine. There’s thatold saying: No more school, no more books... well,you know the rest. Seema Ahluwalia of OxfordLearning Centre believes it’s time to rethink thatsaying, especially the “no more books” part.
Did you know that students who take a completebreak from learning during the summer monthscould potentially lose up to 40% of their learningmomentum? Research has proven this time andagain. That’s why it’s so important to includeeducation in your summer plans.
During the past school year, did your childencounter any academic obstacles? If so, thensummer is the perfect time to not only catch-upin those problem areas, but also to get ahead.Don’t exclude summer school from your summerplanning because of any negative preconceptionsyou may have; summer school is an opportunity,not an obstacle. It offers a less strenuous learningenvironment and allows your child can get theindividual attention that he or she may not getthroughout the school year.
Summer is an open expanse of time that’sperfect for working on trouble areas, catching up,
getting ahead, and building strong learning skills.When students keep learning all summer long, theyare more than ready to learn when school beginsagain.
Oxford Learning Centre has individualizedsummer programs for reading, writing, math,French, SAT preparation and study skills that helpkids develop new thinking and learning habits whilereinforcing and building existing academic skills.Their Little Readers program also runs throughoutthe summer and helps kids from age 3 to 6 toprepare for Kindergarten by teaching them readingand writing skills.
Oxford offers a variety of fun-filled academicsummer camps to suit every family’s needs.They have a choice of hourly, half-day andfull-day programs that are all tailored to yourchild’s needs. Their flexible schedule also allowsyou to make time for outdoor camps and familyvacations while ensuring that your child stayssharp all summer.
Parents can contact Oxford Learning Centre at604- 233-5566 for more information. They canalso visit their office at 200 - 7380 WestminsterHwy (near Minoru Blvd) for wonderful tips andprograms to help their kids get organized.

I’m not a bellsand whistles kind ofguy. Although I canappreciate extras,I tend to do thingsfor a purpose, and ifthe essential reasonI’m using somethingdoesn’t work well,all those extras don’t help a bit.
Bicycles are a model of simplic-ity in design. Essentially unchangedsince James Starley added a chaindrive and same sized wheels tobicycles in 1883, the modern,“safety” bicycle has proven tobe one of the most enduring, and
efficient machinesmankind has everinvented.
But the use ofany machine resultsin wear of course,and for a machineto continue to workefficiently, it must be
maintained.Luckily, a bicycle has relatively
few points of wear, and providedthe rider takes care not to abusehis bicycle, it should last a lifetimewith a minimum of maintenance.
What’s the best mechanicaladvice I could lend? That’s easy.
Make friends with a mechanic, treatthat mechanic well, and listen towhat s/he has to say.
Take the time to go to a fewbike shops and feel them out. Tryones that are convenient to get to,have what you’re looking for, andoffer great customer service.
Talk to the staff, let themknow your needs, and listen to theanswers. Go home, ruminate, andreturn only if you feel at ease at theshop.
Riding a bike will always neces-sitate work that you may not alwaysbe able to perform, so being ableto bring your bike to someone you
know and trust for this work can bea weight off your mind.
In addition to having a goodrelation with a mechanic, thereis one thing a rider can learn thatmakes life on a bike a whole loteasier. Learn how to change a flat.It’s the most common problemyou’ll have, and it’ll stop you inyour tracks.
There are many, great resourcesin print, on tape, and online, thatshows how to do this simple andessential repair, but they aren’tgoing to help you unless you takethe time and make an effort to saveyourself some problems down the
road. Take some time, follow theinstructions, and you’ll see fixinga flat can be easy if you just get alittle familiar with the process.
Then, the next time you punc-ture, there won’t be a wait for acab, extra charges for carrying thebike, the wasted time waiting forit to be fixed, or the bill for some-thing that could have been donefar faster and cheaper than hadyou invested a bit of your time andeffort earlier.
So, keep that air in your tires,listen to your mechanics recom-mendations, and you’ll keep rollingdown the road.
Give your bike love and it’ll last for long, long time

Not a normal part ofaging, dementia is apparentwhen the brain has difficultyto receive, process, store,recall and output information.
In other words, our wiringbecomes faulty and commu-nication impaired. Althoughsymptoms vary, people withdementia may also experiencememory loss, diminished judgment and/ ora change in motor function.
Statistics obtained from Alzheimer.ca(accessed July 2011) are staggering.
Today, half a million Canadians haveAlzheimer’s disease or a related demen-tia. Approximately 71,000 of them areunder age 65. This means that one in 11Canadians over the age of 65 currently hasAlzheimer’s disease or a related dementia.
This year alone, more than 103,000Canadians will develop dementia. This isequivalent to one person every five min-utes. By 2038, this will become one personevery two minutes, or more than 257,000people per year. If nothing changes, thenumber of people living with Alzheimer’sdisease or a related dementia is expectedto more than double, reaching 1.1 millionCanadians within 25 years.
These statistics tell us at least twothings. One, if you care for a family mem-ber or friend with dementia, you are notalone. And two, there is a good chance youwill meet someone with dementia and havethe opportunity to use the communicationtechniques listed below.
Each person is unique in values, expe-riences, beliefs and needs. Each of theseunique persons and their caregivers willalso experience dementia in their own way.All together this makes meaningful com-munication a creative challenge.
Despite our individuality, there are gen-eral techniques that one can employ whencaring for someone with dementia.
“Life is 10 per cent of what happensto you, 90 per cent how you respond toit” (Lou Holtz). Humans are adaptable.Humans with dementia adapt in ways, too.One way I believe people accommodate“faulty wiring,” is to develop a sixth sense.They seem to be sensitive to attitude. I can
best explain using the example of dispens-ing medications on a special care unit forpeople with dementia.
If I approach someone with a negativedefeated attitude, I will more than likelyreceive a negative response — they outrightrefuse their medications. But if I approachwith a positive and respectful attitude, ninetimes out of 10 I will receive a positiveresponse — they take their medicationswithout a second thought. This brings us tonumber one on the list.
1) First and foremost, carry with you apositive attitude. Think success.
2) Approach from the front, making eyecontact.
3) Be patient and respectful.4) Use a calm, unhurried approach.5) Introduce yourself and address the
person by name.6) Keep it simple. One thought, one
question or one instruction at a time.7) If the response is not what you
expected, explore the response youreceived. Every behaviour has meaning.
7) Offer limited choices – the blue shirtor the red shirt.
8) Use a touch on the arm, shoulder,hand.
9) Discuss what they know or haveexperienced.
10) Use humour.11) Look for the person when communi-
cating. Reach for and look for the light thatfinds its way through. You’ll be amazed atwhat you discover.

Red Hot Selects book their ticket to nationalsUndefeated U16 girls soccer team headed to Calgary this fall after defeating Prince George in Provincial Cup final
The Richmond Red HotSelects booked their ticket to thenationals in convincing fashionand there’s a good chance theywill be back for more.
The Under 16 girls Metroteam continued their unbeaten(26-0-1) season with a 4-0 victoryover the Prince George Kodiaksin the Provincial Cup final onSaturday at Hugh Boyd — earn-ing the opportunity to represent
B.C. at the BMO National ClubChampionships in Calgary comeearly October.
The result was hardly a sur-prise given how Coastal teamshave typically dominated the “A”Cup competitions over the years.Yet, with B.C. Soccer’s changinglandscape at the rep level, thiscould have been the Selects’ finalchapter of glory on home turf.
Starting next season, the GirlsMetro Soccer League will begreatly impacted from new oppor-tunities for the province’s topplayers. The expanded WhitecapsResidency Program now offersfull-time spots to the top dozenplayers or so in each age group,
while the B.C. Premier SoccerLeague (High Performance), forages U13 to U18, is now consid-ered the top tier in the province.
With a talent-loaded roster ofjust 12 players, including fivecurrently playing for provincialteams, the Red Hot Selects’ statusfor next season seemed uncer-tain at best. However, with thegirls having only two seasonsremaining of youth eligibility, theconsensus was to keep the squadsomewhat intact.
Underage player Justine
Do has accepted an invite toWhitecaps Residency, whileSummer Clarke and Ashley Chenare still contemplating the sameoffer for U17. Still, Selects headcoach Clive Clarke has movedahead with plans for next season,already adding four new playersfrom a recent tryout session.
He will be putting together aschedule that will feature a num-ber of U.S. tournaments to exposethe girls’ to college scouts forpotential scholarship opportuni-ties.
“When we went down to LasVegas, it kind of opened oureyes to what it is all about,” saidClarke of the university recruiting
process. “There is already interest(in our players) and I am lookingat some top level tournamentswhere there will be more expo-sure for them.”
Having not played a significantgame since April 30, the Selectsgot off to a tentative start beforeSummer Clarke took over. Thetalented striker opened the scor-ing when she caught the PrinceGeorge goalkeeper cheating offher line and, what was meant to
be a cross, deflected into the net.Minutes later, Clarke struck again,neatly beating two defenders thendelivering a clinical finish to thetop corner from 14-yards out.
The 2-0 halftime lead wasmore than enough with insurancegoals coming from Natasha Angusand Amrit Berar, while goalkeeperJoscelyn Wallace earned the shut-out.
“We had only been togetherfor 10 days and you could see our
rhythm was a bit off at the start,”added Clive Clarke. “I think itwas also on their minds that itwas a one game playoff that theywere expected to win. The girlsmight have felt the pressure a bitand were playing not to lose morethan to win.”
The Selects roster also fea-tures: Monika Leverasky BrendaMurillo, Madison Higginbotham,Alura Castle, Alyssa Graeme andJap Nagra.

On June 29, 2011, after acourageous battle with AMLLeukemia, Milan Ilich, Presidentand Owner of ProgressiveConstruction sadly passed awayat 76 years old. They gave himweeks, he was not ready, so he took14 months. As a great husband,father,grandfather (Dabby),brother,business man and philanthropist,Dad will be so missed by us all. Hewas a champion to those in need,who not only gave back, but also
inspired others to do the same. He was a proud recipient of the Orderof BC award for his philanthropist efforts.
From humble beginnings, his Yugoslavian parents worked hard tocare for their 10 children. Dad was born in Anyox , BC on August19, 1934, and then moved to Richmond where he lived the rest ofhis life. His love for family, and business as well as his commitmentto his community was so deep, and complete that no one couldconvince him that there was anywhere in the world that compared tohis beloved home town of Richmond. From humble days of pumpinggas, and driving a dump truck, Dad was driven to provide and succeed.Business taught him the value of a dollar and forgiveness, and familytaught him about love and compassion...and at times patience. Dadis survived by Maureen, his beautiful wife in both spirit and grace;his kids, Laurie (Barry), and Rick (Lauren); his grandchildren, Ashley(Marty), Chelsea, Tanner, Ryder and Mackay, and his siblings, Millie,Rose, Olga, Mirko ( Joan), Milo, Danny, and Bobby. He was precededby two siblings, Tommy and Maria.
We can not express enough how much Dad, and our family doesappreciate the professionalism, and compassion that was presentevery day that was spent in the Outpatient Daycare Unit of theLeukemia/Bone Marrow Transplant Program at VGH. As well as to Dr.Lesley Brown, our family doctor and the nurses and care givers at bothCoastal Health, and Nurses Next Door who took such good care of Dadat home. You are all so kind, and respectful to those who are mostvulnerable. We will never forget you.
Please join us in celebrating Milan’s life at the Richmond FuneralHome (8420 Cambie Road Richmond, BC) on Friday July 22,2011, at1:30 pm. The family would appreciate that you take this time of sorrowto follow Milan’s example, and to do something good for those in need,by donating to the VGH Hospital Foundation, Leukemia/BMT Program,855 West 12th Avenue, Vancouver BC, V5Z 1M9, or by donating bloodto the Canadian Blood Services (1-888-236-6283) in his memory. Noflowers please.
