It’s a simple brownlunch bag containing justan apple and a profoundmessage addressed to thePrime Minister.
But anti-poverty cam-paigners in Richmond arehoping it’s enough to grabStephen Harper’s attentionfor even a few moments.
The volunteers — tak-ing part in the InternationalDay for the Eradicationof Poverty— will behanding outthe bagsduring animpromptu“lunchline-up” atRichmondBrighouseLibrary onThursday(Oct. 17).
Between11:30 a.m.and 1 p.m.,as partof their“RichmondChew onThis!” event, they’ll beencouraging people tore-think food charity asa means of tackling hun-ger in the city and acrossCanada.
In its place, they wantpeople to help them urgeHarper to take a proactiveapproach to eradicatingpoverty and hunger for the882,000 people nationwidewho resort to food bankseach month.
“Inside the bag willbe an apple and a post-card addressed to StephenHarper; demanding a fed-eral poverty reduction strat-
egy,” saidDe Whalen,chair of theRichmondPovertyResponseCommittee.
“If peoplewant totake a fewmoments andsit down andwrite a mes-sage, thenwe’ll makesure the post-card is sentoff to Mr.Harper.
“There’sgot to be a better way thanfood banks. Food bankswere supposed to be a tem-porary measure and nowthey’re part of the land-scape.”
All levels of governmenthave abdicated responsibili-ty on poverty, said Whalen.
And, instead of raisingwages, she said there isfar too much reliance onfood banks to feed needyfamilies.
“The minimum wageof $10.25 an hour is notgoing to feed a family,” sheadded.
“If they’re having tospend so much money onrent, then something’s gotto give and it’s usually the
food.“There’s a systemic
problem that can only befixed by the people who weput in power.
“We’re trying to movefrom charity to justice,because people have theright to feed their kidsproperly.”
A national povertyaction plan is the main rec-ommendation in “PovertyTrends Highlights: Canada2013,” a report by Citizensfor Public Justice.

NewsRichmond gets set to drop, cover and hold on
It’s no secret that the “BigOne” is going to hit us allsome time soon.
So, why not prepareyourself as much as possibleand take part in Thursday’sprovince-wide “ShakeOut”simulated earthquake drill.
OnOct. 17at 10:17a.m., theCity ofRichmondwill be
one of the official partici-pants in ShakeOut.
City staff acrossRichmond will take part bydropping to the ground, seek-ing cover and then holdingon until the “shaking” stops.
“The City of Richmond isengaging in this exercise aspart of our ongoing emergen-cy preparedness program,”said Mayor Malcolm Brodie.
“The ShakeOut BC drillis something everyone in thecommunity should partici-pate in. It is a great way foryou and your family to learnhow to survive and recoverquickly from big earth-quakes.”
Here are three tips:! Drop to the ground
(before the earthquake dropsyou) as if a major earthquakewere happening (stay downfor at least 60 seconds)
! Cover yourself by get-ting under a sturdy deskor table. (While still underthe table, or wherever youare, look around and imag-ine what would happen ina major earthquake. Whatwould fall on you or oth-ers? What would be dam-aged? What would life belike after? What will you dobefore the actual earthquake
happens to reduce losses andquickly recover?)
! Hold on to your desk/table it until the shakingstops.
Emergency managementexperts and other officialpreparedness organizationsagree those three actionsare the most appropriate toreduce injury and protectlives during an earthquake.
They do not recommendstanding in a doorway orrunning outside.
B.C. is just one regionparticipating in this world-wide drill. Currently,more than 640,000 BritishColumbians have pledgedto “Drop, Cover and HoldOn” this Thursday. For moreinformation and to register,visit www.ShakeOutBC.ca.

The smell of freshly steamed buns wafted through the airat a Richmond Chinese bakery. An impatient lineup stretchedout to the pavement.
Suddenly, an elderly Mandarin-speaking woman elbowedin to the front of the line.
“These mainlanders,” sniffed awoman to her companion in Hokkien,a Chinese dialect usually spoken bypeople from China’s Fujian provinceand other southeast Asian countries likeSingapore, Taiwan and the Philippines.
“They don’t know how to behave.”The pair then launched into a whispered tirade about how
mainland Chinese people were country bumpkins with noclass or nouveau riche who dress in designer labels.
“It’s not really their fault,” the companion said magnani-mously. “What do you expect, living all those years underCommunist rule?” The exchange, rife with stereotypes, wasoverheard by a journalist a few months ago. It is not uncom-mon.
To an outsider’s eyes, the Lower Mainland’s Chinese-Canadian community might seem homogeneous. But withinthis community there are invisible divisions marked by differ-ences in language, countries of origin, class, politics, values,even length of time in Canada.
According to the 2011 census, about 432,680 people inMetro Vancouver, or almost 19 per cent, identified themselvesas having Chinese ethnicity.
Most Chinese immigrants are from Hong Kong, and morerecently, mainland China. But there are also many ethnicChinese from countries such as Taiwan, the Philippines,Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Among residents whoreport having a Chinese mother tongue, 138,845 say theyspeak Cantonese, which is the dialect from Hong Kong and
Guangzhou province.About 96,400 speak Mandarin, predominantly spoken in
mainland China and Taiwan, while another 125,580 speak aChinese language not specified, which, according to StatisticsCanada, could also include Hakka, Taiwanese, Chaochow,Fukien and Shanghainese.
David Wong, a Vancouver-born architect, is sensitive tothese invisible divides. Seven years ago, he started an irrever-ent blog in a fit of fury, after what he saw as politicians pan-dering to new immigrants and neglecting Chinese-Canadianswho have lived in B.C. for generations.
The blog, called The Ugly Chinese Canadian, exploresthe “unspoken thoughts and politics within the Asian-NorthAmerican community” from “a ‘banana’s’ perspective.” Oneentry riffs on tensions between Hong Kong Chinese, whocame over in great waves before the 1997 Hong Kong hando-
ver, and the newly wealthy mainland Chinese, who are nowthe most populous immigrants arriving in B.C.
“We assume H.K. expats do not like being outdone bythe wealth flaunted by their once impoverished mainlandbrethren,” it said. “And golly, are these once back-countryyokel farmers without taste! There isn’t a day we (don’t) hearH.K.ers complain of how loud and obnoxious the new main-landers are.”
It echoes similar tensions simmering in Hong Kong, wherelocals complain about mainlanders jaywalking, spitting, cut-ting in line and eating on the subway; of pregnant womenflocking to their hospitals to give birth, taking up preciousmedical resources; and of wealthy investors driving up real-estate prices (sound familiar?)
Despite the tone of the blog, Wong said the fractures with-in the community sadden him.
“It breaks my heart to see,” he said. “It’s not healthy ... todislike a certain group because of their characteristics.”
Wong acknowledges it’s inevitable immigrants bring theircustoms, traditions, values and behaviour as they start torebuild their life in a new place — but some of those tradi-tions should be let go.
Alden Habacon, director of intercultural understandingat the University of B.C., said tension between groups of thesame ethnicity are not new. One way this plays out is in fric-tion between new immigrants and Canadian-born descendantsof immigrants who have lived in Canada for generations.
Habacon believes multiculturalism has been misunder-stood and used as a convenient excuse to keep imported tradi-tions that smack of bigotry. He gives a scenario. If your sweetold-fashioned grandmother tells you to marry your own kind,what do you do? It’s awkward, he said, because on one handit’s something your elders insist is tradition, or just how thingsare done in your family, yet it does not embody the values ofacceptance, diversity and inclusivity Canadians are about.

After transplanting its roots fromVancouver to Richmond last year, aschool focusing on special needs stu-
dents is looking togrow its enrolmentnumbers.
Glen EdenMultimodal Centrehad been locatedin Vancouver since
1984 and enjoyed many years of opera-tion until a drop-in government fundingthree years ago forced the school tolower its operating costs and find moreaffordable premises.
Funding from the province’sCommunity Link grant, worth $220,000annually, was reduced.
“That money was used for extrathings that tuition did not cover,” saidLeanne Martin, whose 12-year-olddaughter has been at the school for thepast four and a half years.
Martin — a board member of theschool, who now organizes the major-ity of its fundraising efforts — said thegrant was cut in half in 2010. And in2011, it was discontinued.
“We relied on that pretty heavily, solast year we were forced to leave ourVancouver site and had students in atemporary location.”
The school almost shut its doorsaround that time, but an anonymousdonor stepped forward after publicityabout the school’s plight was raised andprovided the bulk of a $258,000 dona-tion. “That literally saved the school,”Martin said, adding, “We see kids withall sorts of special needs, from autismto behavioural issues, and everything inbetween.”
Many of Glen Eden’s students areexcluded from the public educationsystem due to medical or emotionalchallenges, and the school is their only
option, Martin said.Thankfully for the students and
their families, this past school year,Glen Eden was able to find a space atFraserview Church to continue offeringclasses. “Now, we’ve just moved thestudents into a new school facility onVanier Place across from Cambie sec-ondary school,” Martin said.
The shift to a more permanent spothas helped enrolment reach 16 students,and hopes are the new space that canaccommodate 30 will be full for thecoming school year.
Accreditation by B.C.’s Ministry ofEducation provides special needs fund-ing for each student. But the hole left bythe cancelation of its government grantwill continue to require several fund-raisers each year.
Part of that is the Growing andGoing Places gala planned for Nov.16 at the Best Western Abercorn Inn,where Sonia Beeksma from GlobalNews will emcee the event, andVariety’s Got Talent! winner from 2011Shylo Sharity will perform. Tickets are$75 each or $675 for a table of nine.For more information about the event,purchase a ticket or make a donation,call 604-821-1457.
Much of the money raised will gotowards the school’s current renovationsat the new location, as well as somenew classroom equipment.

EDITORIAL OPINION
This week, the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled that Canada’slaws against assisted suicide are constitutional.
They may very well be, but it does not make them just.The government’s argument in appealing a lower court rul-
ing that struck the law down was that assisted suicide would“demean the value of life” and open up vulnerable people to riskof abuse.
Laws against assisted suicide have their origins in earlyCatholic Church doctrine, which viewed suicide as an interfer-ence with God’s plan. Several church groups appeared as inter-veners during the appeal.
For some who have watched a loved one die slowly and inagony with no hope of respite, let alone recovery, law and doc-trine is impossible to accept.
The fact is, sometimes we’re ready to leave the party beforeour bodies are. A law that forces people to live in progressivelyworse pain as their dignity dwindles away until they inevitablydie demeans life.
The practice is no longer outlawed in more progressive juris-dictions where rigorous fail safes are in place to make sure noone ever goes through with it unless they are of sound mind.
To be clear: We are not advocating assisted suicide as someform of state-sponsored solution to severe depression or as oneof a series of treatment options. But, for the sake of a few wholive in constant pain or face a demeaning death with no prospectof relief, it is time to move the conversation into a new light.
It’s unfortunate that our federal government does not wish totake the lead on such an initiative.
Solution starts with providing home

Each homeless personhas his or her own lifecircumstance that led tohomelessness. It could beanything from employmentloss or general economicdownturn, to fire, illness,physical disability, familybreakdown, abuse, mentalillness, or drug addiction.
Homelessness can hap-pen to anyone regardlessof income, status, educa-tion, lifestyle, age, race, orgender.
Few people realize thatsome 80 per cent of home-less people don’t even liveon the street. They’re knownas the invisible homeless.
These are people wholive in their cars, in churchbasements, in temporaryshelters, or on the floors andcouches of friends.
A home is more thanjust a roof that keeps youdry — it is a place of safety,nourishment, refuge, com-fort and dignity. A safe andstable home is necessaryfor food security, health,self-sufficiency and positiverelationships with others.Home makes a healthy andproductive life possible.
I’m incredibly proudto serve as chair of theGreater Vancouver RegionalSteering Committee onHomelessness (RSCH),which organizesHomelessness Action Week(Oct. 13-19) each year,along with hundreds ofvolunteers, to engage ourresidents in homelessnessand its solutions.
We believe the solu-tion is to start with “home”— providing secure, per-
manent housing to personswithout it. Once people aresecurely housed, the sup-port services that may berequired to maintain theirhousing become much moreeffective in helping themto permanently end theirhomelessness. We know thishas proven effective in othercities in Canada.
We’ve found thatseniors, youth, familiesand Aboriginal peoplesare over-represented in thehomeless population. Inthe 2011 Metro VancouverHomeless Count, 27 percent of the surveyed home-less population was ofAboriginal ancestry — afigure that has varied onlyslightly since 2005. Duringthat same count, 397 youthunder the age of 25 werefound to be homeless, a fullquarter of them homelessfor more than a year. Andwe encountered the highestever number of homelessfamilies: 56 in total with54 children. Further, it wasalarming to find that thenumber of homeless seniors(age 65 and up) tripled from2002 to 2011.
We need to do better.The RSCH brings
together the region’s leadingorganizations, governmentagencies, funders and com-munity task forces to col-
laboratively investigate andplan to end homelessness.
We develop and maintaina Regional HomelessnessPlan and sponsor a regionalCount of the homeless pop-ulation every three years.
The very nature of invis-ible homelessness makesit challenging to quantify.While we get a sample ofthose living in temporaryshelters, we do not captureeveryone who may be invis-ibly homeless.
Many informally payrent by doing survival sexwork, chores or other typesof labour. Often one has togive an address to accesssupport services such asfood banks or shelter allow-ances. A family or friend’saddress is sometimes used,which keeps their homeless-ness hidden.
That is why we con-tinue to foster collabora-tion among more than 100organizations that workon homelessness day inand day out: to enrich ourunderstanding of the trueextent of this issue.
Research done by theUnited Way of the LowerMainland shows the numberof seniors waiting for socialhousing increased by 45 percent from 2009-2012.

The Editor,Re: “Boxed In?” News, Oct. 11.The West Cambie Area Plan, which Richmond city
council approved in , states the maximum floor area forthe anchor store in the Alexandra Neighbourhood mallshould be 100,000 square feet.
In contrast, the Walmart anchor store that’s actually pro-posed for the mall there has a larger floor area of 161,188square feet.
Just the increase alone is bigger than an American foot-ball field — including end zones and with lots of space forteams on the sidelines.
Similarly, the whole Walmart mall is larger than theWest Cambie Area Plan had led us to expect. Oddly,though (and this is hard to get one’s mind around), citystaff wanted the mall developers to build much moresquare-footage than that, more than twice as much in fact.
In short, the Walmart mall does not fit with the offi-cial plan for a “balanced community” in the AlexandraNeighbourhood. However, neither Walmart nor its partnershould be the ones shouldering most of the blame.

The Editor.Nothing demarcates some of the
essential differences between what Icall the “old world” (pre-1980s) and theplugged-in, teched-up one we live in nowthan the following: seeing a cell-phone-engaged mother fail to notice her threeyear-old daughter has wandered severalaisles away in a crowded store while sheengages in a loud, animated conversationabout Oprah’s hair styles; witnessing ayoung woman so engrossed in textingthat she steps off a curb on a red lightand only avoids serious injury or deathby the grace of an attentive driver’s quickreactions; watching a family of four, eachtotally absorbed in their separate hand-held devices, go through an entire mealwithout talking to each other; and havinga meal at a nice restaurant where all the
middle-aged and older patrons are talkingwith each other, laughing together, andgenerally celebrating the joys of the occa-sion, while two separate younger couplesspend almost their entire times togetherbent over their respective Smartphonesand paying no attention to each other.
These are not uncommon sights, soadd to the list as you will.
All I know is that if such behavioursrepresent the values and priorities of the“new world,” I can only be increasinglycontent with the fact that I grew up in,and lived a large portion of my adult life,during a time when being “connected”meant something entirely different than itdoes now.

The Editor,The snow geese have started arriving
again. So please will all those who hunt,spare us their entreaties to have huntingopened up on the West Dyke.
We should feel privileged that we havethe great good fortune to see these mag-nificent flocks in our neighbourhood.
Furthermore, let’s not hear the oldexcuse that they are ruining the playingfields and turn the dogs loose on them.
We have watched these fields all sum-mer and they are green and lush, thanksto the fertilizer the geese bring withthem.
So okay, for a few short weeks when
they are here, they deposit their poop onthese fields.
But if it doesn’t rain, the poop dries todust and if it does rain, which is the mostlikely scenario, the fields turn muddy andit is washed into the ground.
What kid wants to play on a muddywet field at that time of year anyway.
Let’s not try to sterilize everything wetouch or walk on. We all have to eat our“peck of dirt” in order to build up ourimmune system. Not that we’re suggest-ing that we should take that literally. Solet’s enjoy the birds while they’re here.

The Editor,At about 2:45 p.m on
Monday, Sept. 30, I wastravelling on the CanadaLine from Waterfront toBridgeport Station.
As the train left the sta-tion on its way to BrighouseI realized that I’d left mybag with course materialand other personal informa-
tion on my seat.The TransLink “Green
Coat” man at the stationphoned ahead to see if mybag had been found.
About 20 minuteslater another TransLinkemployee returned withmy bag, which she saw asshe was leaving the train atBrighouse station.
What a relief! I just wishI had thought to take theirnames at the time.
Very many thanksto these two employees— they really saved the dayfor me.

The Editor,I thoroughly enjoyed The
Metropolitan Opera’s HDLive production of EugeneOnegin at SilverCity. Weare so lucky to have accessto these special events atSilverCity in Richmond!
The theatre was full, andI suspect that everyone therewas mightily impressed withthe close to four hours ofentertainment. What addedto the enjoyment of the eventfor me was how helpful theSilverCity staff were.
However, I did notice thatfor many “opera-goers” itwas a challenge to go up and
down the stairs in the theatrebecause there is no handrail.(I’ve noticed the same situa-tion at Gateway.)
Perhaps it’s time all publicfacilities with stairs be man-dated to include handrails.The 70-plus crowd loves toget out and enjoy themselvesas much as those who areyounger, and it is easier forthem to do so if they knowthat stairs aren’t a potentialhazard to their safety.
Thanks to SilverCity stafffor an excellent time!
Janet Oakes,Richmond

Located in the heart of the village, The Steveston HistoricalMuseum and Visitor Centre has continually served ourcommunity. First constructed in 1905, the building served asRichmond’s first bank. It is now a museum commemoratingSteveston’s rich history as a major fishing village, with a postoffice and tourist information centre. It is an important reminderof Steveston’s cultural and historical identity.
This historic site is also an important tourist destination,drawing visitors from across the Lower Mainland and Canadaand boosting Steveston’s local economy. It has helped to unifyour community through hosting several events with assistancefrom organizations like Tourism Richmond. For example, Iwas recently called on to judge at a BC Culture Days “pie-tasting contest” held at the Museum. At the event, I had theopportunity to connect with many constituents and discuss theimportance of preserving Steveston’s historical sites.
Other events the Museum has held recently include “Picnic inthe Past: Japan Style”, “Styling in the Past” and “Washing inthe Past.” These activities attracted some 1,500 visitors fromSteveston and surrounding areas, and couldn’t have happenedwithout the help of the museum’s dedicated volunteers.
I would like to thank The Steveston Historical Society for theiroutstanding service to the people of Steveston through theirmanagement of the centre. The sense of stewardship amongstall their members is exemplary. I would especially like to thankTracy Lakeman of Tourism Richmond, and Loren Slye, Chair ofthe Steveston Historical Society for their vision, leadership andsupport to our community.

In September, Matthew McNair Secondary Schoollaunched its participation in the BC School Fruit &Vegetable Nutritional Program (BCSFVNP), which is acollaboration between Healthy Families BC and the BC
Ministry of Health. It’s administered through the BCAgriculture in the Classroom Foundation, a nonprofitorganization that is devoted to “working to bring BC’sagriculture to our students.”
Last week was ourthird delivery of localB.C. produce and wereceived individual pack-ages of baby carrots.
As I distributed themto my Culinary Artsstudents, most studentseagerly took them, but afew who like only cookedcarrots declined.
Today, I am sharing a recipe for Ginger-Carrot Soup,which combines delicious spices as well as one ingredi-ent many young people love: peanut butter.
If there are people in your household who are aller-gic to peanuts, you can substitute any nut butter, and ifanyone is allergic to nuts, just omit the peanut butteraltogether.
Also, if you are cooking for people who cannot tol-erate the heat of red chili flakes or ginger, feel free toreduce the amount of these ingredients.
The recipe is adapted from Sid Goldstein’s The WineLover’s Cookbook: Great Recipes for the Perfect Glassof Wine.
For the adults in your household, the luscious flavoursof coconut milk, peanuts and Asian spices pair beautiful-ly with the floral-spiciness of a Gewurztraminer, PinotGris, or Viognier.
If you are looking for the perfect wine pairing, Iwould highly recommend seeking the expertise at SipWines, Richmond’s only VQA wine store.
It is a great place to go to try new wines and learnabout particular varietals or blends, and they offerThursday themed-tastings as well as Saturday singlewinery tastings.

Judgingby the realestate openhouses andtraffic inour local cardealerships,malls andmegastores,we sure dospend a lot of time shop-ping!
Do you want to knowthe first thing we also buybefore the sale is finished,or immediately afterward?
Yup, we make sure ourstuff gets insured! Fromthe comprehensive umbrel-la policies that we take outon our homes to the carinsurance and extendedwarranty packages on ourconsumer goods, we suredo like to protect ourselvesfrom risk.
Just when you thinkyou’ve done an awesomejob insuring the valuables,I’m about to tell you thatthere may be a gaping holein your risk managementplan.
Let’s start by adding
up all themoney youwill makeover theyears. Forexample,take thecase of a35-year-oldwho makes
$60,000 per year andincreases that income byfive per cent each year asa result of promotions andinflationary increases.
By retirement at age 65,he/she will have earned atotal of $3,986,331.
That’s a lot of moneyriding on the assumptionthat this income earnerstays healthy!
I would not feel com-fortable with those odds,when the statistics tell usthat a 35-year-old has a 50per cent chance of beingdisabled for at least 90days before age 65!
Let’s be clear on this— the length of a disabil-ity, on average, is at least90 days. Some disabilitiescould last as long as 30
years using this example.I asked one insurance
company to provide mewith examples of claimsthat they have been paying.
That’s when I realizedthat the risk is very real!For instance, a salesmanhas received $690,000 todate from a brain injurysustained in 1988.
A dentist who has beensuffering from thoracicoutlet syndrome since 1998has received a total of$1,438.544. A businessowner with a herniateddisc has received $189,187since 2008.
Ironically, a financialadvisor suffering fromdepression has receiveda total of $185,059 since2009 (Hmmm, I wonderwhat could have triggeredthat).
These are real peoplewith real disabilities andnone of them saw it com-ing. However, all of themmade a plan to deal with it.
Disability insurance isnot as easy to apply for aslife insurance. When the
risks are so high, it is onlynatural that the insurancecompany is going to ask alot more questions.
Underwriting a disabil-ity income policy is trickyand you really should workwith an experienced and
qualified financial advisor.Your most valuable asset
is looking back at yourselfin the mirror every day.Please, don’t play Russianroulette with your income.Take the steps right now toinsure it.

Seafair dominates at home in Icebreaker tourneyHost association nearly sweeps all four tier one titles including an impressive performance by Pee Wee A1 team
From a dominating per-formance to a pair of archrivals meeting in the cham-pionship game, the 11thannual Seafair IcebreakerTournament served upa Thanksgiving feast ofaction over the long week-end at the Richmond IceCentre.
The event provides asteady dose of competitionfor rep teams as they gettheir season into full swing.The host association morethan held their own asSeafair Hockey took threeof the four tier one titlesand settled for silver in theother.
The organization’s topPee Wee team lived up toits early season hype byshowing why its the No. 1ranked squad in the prov-ince. The Islanders rolledfive straight victories totake home gold, includinga 5-0 triumph over a short-handed Victoria RacquetClub team in Mondayafternoon’s championshipgame. The team, coachedby Vancouver Giants
assistant and Seafair’sdirector of hockey opera-tions Yogi Svejkovsky,earlier produced lopsidedround-robin wins overPhoenix (10-0), NorthVancouver (9-0) and Surrey(14-0) before finally beingtested in a 3-1 victoryagainst Juan de Fuca inthe semi-finals. VRC alsoput up a determined fight,trailing 3-0 after 40 min-utes, then running out ofsteam in the final period.
The most intriguing andexciting final was servedup at the youngest agelevel as Seafair trimmedRichmond Minor 3-2 inovertime to capture theAtom Tier One title. TheIslanders enjoyed a 2-0second period lead whenthe Blues pulled withinone, then tied it in the earlystages of the third.
Richmond appeared tohave the advantage headinginto overtime when Seafairwas accessed a trippingpenalty in the final minuteof regulation. However,the Islanders struck just12 seconds into the extraframe for the dramatic win.
Seafair had defeated
Richmond 6-0 in earlierround-robin action. TheBlues rebounded with awin over Nanaimo (4-3)to nail down a playoffspot, then beat the sameIsland team again (8-3)in the semi-finals. Seafairblanked Juan de Fuca 7-0 in the other final fourmatch-up.
Richmond Minor’scoaching staff includesUBC head coach MilanDragicevic who worksas an assistant to KirkDarbyshire.
There was more dramain the Midget Tier Onefinal as the Islandersneeded a shootout to slippast Vancouver Minor 3-2.All the scoring was donethrough 40 minutes, as ascoreless third period wasfollowed by five minutesof four-on-four overtimehockey which couldn’t pro-duce a winner.
Both teams entered thechampionship game withperfect records, as SteveRobinson’s squad dumpedCloverdale 7-4 in thesemis, after earlier winsover Seattle (5-0), Juan deFuca (3-1) and Vancouver
Minor (3-2).The Ryan Weber
coached Seafair BantamA1 team rolled off fourstraight wins before fall-ing 4-1 to Cowichan inthe final. The Island squadopened up a 2-0 lead after20 minutes and added onemore in each of the finaltwo periods to deny theIslanders a fourth consecu-tive tournament title.
Seafair did manage towin a fourth championship,as the Islanders dominatedthe Atom Tier 2 division,capping a perfect run withan 11-0 win over Saanichin the final.
Other division cham-pions included Saanichwinning the Bantam andMidget Tier 2 titles, whileWhitehorse captured thePee Wee Tier 2 crown.
