Anti-idling bylaw approvedby Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Motorists who allow their ve-hicle to idle longer than three minutes on public property will soon face a fi ne of $60—if caught in the act.

City council has given third reading to bylaw amendments aimed at curbing unnecessary vehicle pollution. After the unanimous vote, fourth and fi -nal reading is now a formality.

Forty-six B.C. municipalities already have bylaws restrict-ing vehicle idling, according to a B.C. Ministry of Environment report cited by staff.

Under Richmond’s new regu-lations, motorists who exit their vehicle while it’s running—for any length of time—will also be committing a bylaw offence.

The bylaw changes do not ap-ply to private property—such as restaurant drive-throughs and mall parking lots—and en-forcement will be a challenge, but staff say the new rules will serve as a deterrent.

Bylaw offi cers frequently fi nd vehicles idling unnecessarily on city streets, including large trucks, taxis and charter buses, according to bylaws manager Wayne Mercer.

Exemptions under the pro-posed anti-idling rules extend to emergency vehicles, tow trucks, armoured vehicles, utility ser-vice vehicles and bylaw enforce-ment vehicles. Also exempt are vehicles used in parades, those carrying passengers where loading or unloading can take more than three minutes and vehicles in which a running engine is required to power on-board equipment.

The $60 fi ne rises to $100 if not paid within 61 days.

Weather didn’t spoil Canada Day weekendShips to Shore festival piggy-backed well with Steveston Salmon Festival

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

It’s not how you start, but how you fi nish, the adage goes.

And so it turned out for this year’s Canada Day weekend, when Saturday’s showers kept many people at home, but by Sunday, tens of thousands of Canadians proudly donned red to celebrate the nation’s birthday during the 67th annual Steveston Salmon Festival.

“It was fantastic,” said Janice Froese, executive director of the Steveston Community Society. “Despite some poor weather, we had a really great event.”

Organizers for the fi rst time spread out the Canada Day celebrations over two days, but the cold and rain on Satur-day kept most people at home.

“From the public’s perspective, it didn’t look open,” she said. “But Sunday turned out terrifi c.”

A core group of about 30 organizers will meet later this month to critique this year’s event, and once again try to improve on it, and consider whether to put in all the extra work required to hold a two-day event again next year. Canada Day 2013 lands on a Monday, meaning the opportunity for a weekend-long celebration is again a pos-sibility.

Whether the City of Richmond piggy-backs another Ships to Shore event to the Salmon Festival remains to be seen.

But from Froese’s perspective, the marriage between the two events worked out well.

“From their end of things, I think it was good. We’re get-ting nothing but positive feedback.”

Froese has been helping organize the festival for seven years now, and she thinks this year’s event was the best to date.

From Page 1And from the feedback she’s received so

far, many people are in agreement.The parking lot of the Steveston Commu-

nity Centre this year served as a larger food court, and that resonated well with festival goers.

The carnival was shifted a little east onto the baseball fi eld, which worked to spread out the crowds, which Froese estimates was similar to years past on Canada Day, in the range of 70,000 people.

“Our sponsors were generous beyond

words, and we had over 400 volunteers. The festival couldn’t happen without those sponsors and the whole army of volunteers who work their butts off.”

Froese thinks Sunday’s overcast skies were a bit of a blessing, keeping the weather pleasantly warm versus scorching hot. In her fi rst couple of years with the festival, she recalls really hot event days, with some people passing out and others suffering from heat exhaustion.

“Thank you to everybody who came out and had a good time,” Froese said.

Arts strategy open houseWe’d like to hear your ideas

The City is updating its 2004 Arts Strategy to refl ect today’s

opportunities and challenges. We invite you to provide your feedback at one of three open houses, held at the Richmond Cultural Centre Rotunda, 7700 Minoru Gate, where highlights of the City’s Draft Arts Strategy will be presented:

• Thursday, July 12,3:00 - 9:00 p.m.

• Friday, July 13,9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

• Saturday, July 14,9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

The purpose of the strategy is to help facilitate the growth of arts in Richmond by creating an environment and culture in the city that ensures the arts play a strong role in placemaking, community building, tourism and economic development.

The Arts Strategy process was led by a steering committee comprised of an equal mix of City staff and arts community representatives. Their work spanned a number of extended planning sessions, supported by input from three public meetings. The open houses are your opportunity to be part of the process. Your input is appreciated.

Aquarium finds fishing village a suitable fit for penguin

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Steveston has waddled away from Richmond all the way to Stanley Park. In name, at least.

After a month-long con-test, the Vancouver Aquar-ium has named one of its seven new African pen-guins after Richmond’s famous fi shing village.

Aquarium staff chose names of British Colum-bia places for their newest arrivals, after splashing through 600 suggestions submitted as artwork, es-says, poems and videos.

Local resident Winnie Kwok shamelessly tout-ed a village full of fi sh ‘n’ chips and heritage in her video entry, which includ-ed an original song about Steveston the Penguin.

In her video, Kwok sings her ode to the clumsy creature while playing

a photo slideshow of a penguin plush-toy enjoy-ing the boardwalk—even sitting down to a bowl of shrimp.

For her efforts, Kwok will receive a one-year family membership to the aquarium and a VIP penguin experience.

Steveston the Penguin can be spotted at the aquarium sporting a unique red beaded iden-tifi cation bracelet along with his six friends: Lil-looet, Tofi no, Hope, Nel-son, Sechelt and Salt Spring. These penguins, although native to South Africa, were bred at an-other aquarium through the Species Survival Plan program.

“We are always look-ing for fun ways to en-gage with our visitors,” said the aquarium’s Clint Wright in a Tuesday news release. “The panel of judges chose names that resonate both with the staff who work with the animals and with our visi-tors.”

The new penguin ex-hibit is located between the aquarium’s Wild Coast and Canada’s Arctic exhib-its, and includes penguin-themed crafts and family activities.

Study ties salmon productivity drop to ‘shared mechanisms’

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

Sockeye salmon along the west coast are produc-ing far fewer returning off-spring than in the past and the SFU fi shery scientists who have documented the trend say it suggests climate change may be a factor.

Randall Peterman said the study he co-authored found 24 of 37 sockeye stocks from Washing-ton State to Alaska lost productivity since 1985, with the hardest hit runs no longer even replacing

themselves.He said the fact the de-

cline has been widespread across both pristine and heavily disturbed water-sheds points to non-local “shared mechanisms” as the more probable cause, rather than river-specifi c logging or pollution.

“It’s much more likely that what’s causing these changes is occurring over a large area,” said Peterman, a professor in Simon Fraser University’s School of Re-source and Environmental Management.

Warming oceans could be reducing the salmon food supply in the north Pacifi c, sending more predators to-wards the sockeye or in-creasing their vulnerability to pathogens, he said.

The culprit could also be affecting sockeye in fresh-water, Peterman added.

A pathogen – either natu-rally occurring or spread by fi sh farms – could be am-plifi ed by climate changes and infecting sockeye in rivers that later die at sea.

Preliminary findings

were presented in 2011 to the Cohen Inquiry, which reports in the fall with recommendations on halting the decline in Fraser River sockeye. But Peterman said the newest analysis shows the pattern of declining productivity has spread northward to more wa-tersheds over time.

“That trend of spreading northward is indicative of possibly climate-driven processes that become more extreme in the south fi rst and work their way north,” he said. “The evidence is much stronger than it was.”

The theory of a fi sh food shortage on the high seas

is backed in part because sockeye have tended to return signifi cantly under-weight in recent years. The food supply is expected to decline as the ocean warms.

But Peterman noted in-creased competition for the same food supply is another possibility. The number of pink salmon feeding in the same area of the north Pacific has more than doubled, large-ly the result of “ranching” of pinks by Russians and Alaskans.

The study was published in the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sci-ences.

Ocean warming may be factor in declining sockeye stocks

Garage gutted in Bates Road blaze

One person was taken to hospital suffering from burns and smoke inhala-tion when a garage be-hind a single family house on Bates Road—near No. 3 Road and Williams—was gutted by fi re Mon-day afternoon.

Richmond Fire-Rescue crews were on the scene dousing the remnants of the fi re around 4:30 p.m.

The home was not dam-aged.

The cause of the fire remains under investi-gation.

Demolition approved for old Towns Netting and Marine Supplies store in villageby Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

A former fishing supplies store that’s kitty-corner to Steveston’s once-mighty

fishing fleet will soon be flattened.Penta Builders Group won unanimous

approval from city council June 25 to demolish the old Towns Netting and Ma-rine Supplies store at 3531 Bayview St., located in Steveston Village across from the Gulf of Georgia Cannery.

The building has been vacant for two years.

Last year Cornerstone Architecture ap-plied to rezone the site to allow a three-storey commercial-residential develop-ment, but the property has since been

sold and the development application withdrawn.

What Penta has planned for the site isn’t yet known, as it has yet to submit a rezoning application.

The building isn’t designated heritage by the city, but lies within the Steveston Village Heritage Conservation Area, in which demolitions require council ap-proval.

Penta cited the structure’s “deteriorated condition” as the reason to demolish the building, according to a staff report.

Hawaiian Chieftain was towing Mallory Todd when another boat’s wake resulted in damage

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

For Angela Burnett, Sunday’s Canada Day cel-ebration was marred by the conduct of a Pacifi c Pilotage Authority vessel, whose actions on Sunday led to damage while the Hawaiian Chieftain was towing the schooner Mal-lory Todd.

Burnett was aboard the Mallory Todd, which was having difficulty mak-ing its way up the Fraser River due to the strong currents.

The captain of the Ha-waiian Chieftain, in town for the City of Richmond’s Ships to Shore festival and the accompanying

Steveston Salmon Festi-val celebrations, agreed to tow the Mallory Todd side-by-side, and alerted the Coast Guard it was doing so.

“A few minutes after passing the S6 buoy in the Fraser River channel, a pilot boat approached from starboard, travelling at about 10-12 knots,” Bur-nett wrote in an e-mail to The Richmond Review. “It could not have avoid-ed seeing the two boats lashed together. Neverthe-less, it cut sharply across their bows. The wake forced a huge influx of

water into the very narrow space between the boats. The buoys were fl ung up-wards so that the Chieftain unavoidably hit the deck railings and side of the smaller Mallory Todd. It tore off part of the railing and wooden edges of the Mallory Todd’s portside deck and damaged the wire railing as well."

Rory MacLysaght, who is one of the captains of the Mallory Todd, but wasn’t piloting the vessel at the time of the incident, said there was no actual col-lision between the ves-sels. “At one point a Pilot

vessel...overtook us very close at high speed, then cut closely in front of us, causing a very large wake. Visibility

was clear and it would have been apparent to any professional mariner what the situation was. A pru-dent captain would have realized that such a wake would cause us problems, and would have slowed down and given us plenty of space when passing. This is both a professional courtesy, as well as a legal requirement to be respon-sible for your own wake and its effect on other ves-sels. Several passengers witnessed the maneuver and confirmed that the pilot vessel was too close and operating too fast," MacLysaght wrote in an e-mail Tuesday.

“What happened was that the extremely large wake caused the two ves-sels to move rapidly up and down independently. Since they were tied securely to-gether, this caused a large fender to ride right up onto the aft wooden rail of Mal-lory Todd, cracking it in a number of places. It also ripped out and bent some of our steel stanchions, and cracked a 15 foot sec-tion of our teak toerails, as well as damaging the attachment points in our deck.”

Brian Young, director of Marine Operations for the Pacifi c Pilotage Authority, said Tuesday afternoon that no official report about the incident had yet been made to the author-ity or the Transportation Safety Board, though the incident was brought to the attention of the traffi c centre in Victoria, which has oversees the waters off Steveston.

Young did speak to the captain of the boat involved in the incident, who said he slowed down, went outside the channel lane, passed them and then went on to his des-tination.

Young said an investi-gation will be conducted once an offi cial complaint has been made.

He said that if vessels re-quire slow traffi c around them, they contact the ma-rine traffi c centre, which then broadcasts the re-quest, and lets other ves-sels know their position.

Burnett felt the incident could have been avoided.

“Personally, I’m embar-rassed that Canadians on an offi cial vessel would demonstrate such poor seamanship and would harm a boat that came here to help us celebrate Canada Day.”

The captain of the Ha-waiian Chieftain could not be reached by press time Tuesday afternoon.

New exhibition runs until fall at Richmond Museum

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reportr

A new exhibition at Richmond Museum captures the rich agri-cultural history of Rich-mond.

The Garden City: Rich-

mond’s Agricultural Legacy covers the city’s farming history from its early days to the mod-ern industry it is today. Artifacts and photos from the museum, City of Richmond Archives and community mem-bers all comprise the display.

A centrepiece to the display is a Grauer fam-ily milk wagon from Fra-sea Farms Ltd.

Visitors to the muse-um will uncover pioneer

farming history, learn about crop and live-stock production and discover more about modern food security concerns.

Among the exhibition’s stories involves dairy production. Richmond dairy farms were once a significant industry and supplied Vancou-ver markets with milk by wagon—without re-frigeration.

The exhibition runs until Oct. 21.

The museum is locat-ed inside Richmond Cul-tural Centre, 7700 Mi-noru Gate, and is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and week-ends from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free; donations accepted.

Inconsiderate. Ignorant. Environment defiler. Whatever you call idlers,

they’re everywhere and most of the time unneces-sarily causing air and noise pollution.

There’s some good in sight, however, as city council has taken a step toward cracking down on offending motorists. New regulations will arm officers with the power to hand out fines of $60 to motorists who allow their vehicle to idle longer than three minutes on public proper-ty. But the bylaw changes don’t go far enough.

Despite efforts to increase the use of public transportation, it’s still just a shadow of the preferred transportation meth-od: the personal vehicle. With all these drivers on our roads, driveways and parking lots, regulations are needed.

And for anyone who’s been caught speeding, doing an il-legal U-turn, tailgating, the con-sequences of disobeying rules of the road are known first-hand. So why do idlers get a break?

Idlers have long been allowed to go about their business: turn-ing the key and sitting in their

parked vehicle for countless minutes while leaving the engine running for whatever reason.

They’re not only causing pol-lution, but they’re a nuisance. Idlers park near building en-trances, sending wafts of carbon dioxide inside for others to enjoy. Idlers have noisy vehi-cles—maybe missing a muffler or two—and wake up the neigh-bours while they’re contemplat-ing life in a vibrating seat.

Richmond’s new regulations target just public property: com-munity centre parking lots, city streets and other city facilities. That’s a start. But that’s not where the worst offenders are found. The worst offenders are in driveways, store parking lots and restaurant drive-throughs.

Don’t believe the idlers who insist their practice is neces-sary. Studies have clearly shown that idling for over 10 seconds uses more fuel and produces more emissions that restarting an engine. Idling is also not an effective way to warm up your vehicle, even in cold weather.

The city has powers to create regulations aimed at restoring public health or protecting its citizens from nuisance. It’s time it uses them.

opinionEDITORIAL: Anti-idling rules should go further

Rough seas ahead for BC Ferries

BC Ferries has begun its sum-mer schedule,

ramping up sailings for the vacation season that is crucial to the fleet’s bottom line.

It’s been rough sailing for BC Ferries so far this year. The corporation released its financial re-sults in June, reporting a net loss of $16.5 million, compared to net earn-ings of $3.8 million the previous year. Last year’s earnings were boosted by the sale of the former corporate headquarters for $9.3 million, prevent-

ing a loss there as well.In the fiscal year that

ended March 31, vehicle traffic was down 3.5 per cent and walk-on pas-sengers were down 2.8 per cent. As a result, BC Ferries is forecasting a “small loss” for this year as well.

The spring “Coast Saver” sale has just ended. That’s a 37-per-cent discount offered Fri-days through Mondays, May 25 to June 25 on the major runs from the mainland to Victoria and Nanaimo. The discounts allowed a foot passenger to cross for $9.95 and a car and driver for $39.95.

I asked BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan last week how the sale went. He didn’t have final figures yet, but he allowed that the boost in traffic was “marginal.”

It’s the second year that the spring sale has been offered over weekends, when people are more likely to travel. But instead of generating

additional trips, Corrigan said the main effect has been to shift traffic from midweek to weekends.

One of the primary reasons for this spring’s poor performance is the lousy weather that kept people at home. Gasoline at $1.40 a litre is another big one. Hotels and other tourism services tell the same story.

Here’s another problem: student traffic on the ferries was down by a third this spring, because teachers cancelled field trips as part of their lengthy work-to-rule campaign.

The simplistic po-litical debate about ferry service starts and ends with rising fares, with occasional fits of temper over executive salaries, and ignores the other factors. Just cut the fares and increase the taxpayer subsidy, say the NDP and their local echo cham-bers.

Of course, taxpayers are already pitching in

an extra $80 million this year, bringing the subsidy to the ferries close to $200 million. That’s how Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom sweetened the pot as he unveiled new powers for B.C. Ferry Commissioner Gord Macatee to set service levels as well as regulate fares.

Macatee’s task now is to travel the coast and endure the demands of island dwellers who want the rest of us to subsidize their splendid isolation. The proposition for them will boil down to this: You can pay more or you can have fewer sailings. And where the boat is a third full, you will have fewer sailings.

This consultation period is an opportunity to ask some hard questions. For instance, does Saltspring Island really need three ferry terminals? And why is there no passenger-only service?

Macatee’s term as commissioner started

with a detailed review last year that pointed to some other ways to save serious money. But CEO Corrigan says there are no quick fixes.

FortisBC has offered an $11 million incentive for conversion of marine vessels to natural gas, which would give the fleet significant relief from spiraling fuel costs. But a ferry conversion would take six months or more, and another vessel would be needed in the meantime.

Another promising suggestion is overhaul-ing the ferry reservation service, making reserva-tions free and charging extra for those who just show up. Corrigan says a computer reservation overhaul is underway, but it will take three years.

Editor:The Steveston Ships to

Shore festival is some-thing we’re all proud of.

What a pity that a Canadian pilot boat cast a pall over the day for one of the ships that was here to celebrate Canada Day with us, the Mallory Todd.

I was a passenger on the Mallory Todd on a July 1 morning trip, a part of the festival. As we know, the Fraser River is in fl ood. Because the current was so strong, the Mallory Todd was having diffi culty making headway fast enough to get back to dock in time for the rest of the festival.

The captain of the Hawaiian Chieftain, which has a much more powerful engine, agreed to tow the Mallory Todd side by side. The Coast Guard was informed that the two boats were sail-ing in tow.

A few minutes after passing the S6 buoy in

the Fraser River channel, a pilot boat approached from starboard, travelling at about 10-12 knots. It could not have avoided seeing the two boats lashed together. Nev-ertheless, it cut sharply across their bows.

The wake forced a huge infl ux of water into the very narrow space between the boats. The buoys were fl ung upwards so that the Chieftain unavoidably hit the deck railings and side of the smaller Mallory Todd. It tore off part of the railing and wooden edges of the Mallory Todd’s portside deck and damaged the wire railing as well.

Personally, I’m embar-rassed that Canadians on an offi cial vessel would demonstrate such poor seamanship and would harm a boat that came here to help us celebrate Canada Day.

The three people in the cabin of the pilot boat

who caused the damage need to be held account-able.

If not, what were they doing aboard an offi cial boat? If they are in fact pilots, they are a disgrace to their profession. Pilots are supposed to protect ships and our shores, not

cause them damage.They are the people

whose responsibility it is to protect us all from, among other things, the risks posed by large tankers travelling up and down our treacherous coastline. We must be able to rely on their com-petence and maturity.

Bridge ads too muchEditor:

Re: “Ad blitz heralds new Port Mann Bridge.”

Victoria: when you spend $3.3 billion of my (taxpayer) money on a capital project, I expect said project to be newsworthy enough on its own to not need an additional $400,000 on a propaganda cam-paign.

Best fair solution to congestion/pollution issues: charge a set toll based on number of unused passenger seats on every vehicle entering the city! If you want to be by yourself in a 10-passenger van, great, pay nine tolls to poison my air! If you carpool to fi ll every seat, just pay a token city-entry toll of $1.

George PopeBlundell

Potholes too muchEditor:

The potholes at the Alderbridge/Garden City crossroad have been there for as long as I could remember, and I’m talking about years. When are the authorities going to patch them up? It has become increasingly hazardous, particularly when motorists swerve suddenly to avoid the potholes.

Starting July 1, the Electronic Products Recycling Association’s (EPRA) electronic stewardship program has expanded to include even more elect ron ic items. Consumers and businesses in BC have an environmentally sound recycling option. You can drop off your electronic products at designated Collection Sites throughout the province without charge.

Since EPRA’s program began in 2007, more than 75,000 metric tonnes of unwanted electronics have been recycled. That’s over 75,000 metric tonnes that did not end up in our landfi lls and were not exported illegally to become someone else’s problem.

W h o r u n s t h e p r o g r a m ? The EPRA is a not-for-profit extended producer responsibility association. It was set up by the

major producers and retailers of electronics to provide industry-led and regulated recycling programs for unwanted electronics. Members of EPRA include Electronic Product Stewardship Canada (EPSC) and the Retail Council of Canada (RCC) and their members.

Where Return-It comes in: Encorp Pacifi c (Canada) runs the Return-It Electronics™ program. They have been contracted by EPRA to manage the electronics stewardship program.

How electronics are recycled: Electronics collected in BC for recycling are sent to approved p r imary recyc le r s in Nor th America. These items are broken down using various manual and mechanical processes. Products such as batteries and mercury lamps, which require special processing to recover materials, are removed. The

WHAT’S NEW?

Effective July 1, 2012, the Return-It Electronics recycling program is expanding so that more than 260 different types of electronics will be accepted. The following items can be recycled free of charge at any Return-It Electronics Collection Site:

Console gaming systems

and accessories

E-readers

Electronic Dictionaries

Global Positioning Systems (GPS)

Calculators

Display Devices

Desktop Computers

Portable Computers

Printers and Fax Machines

remaining products are separated into their individual components for recovery. Through a variety of refining and smelting processes, the materials reclaimed from unwanted electronics are used as raw materials in the manufacturing of new products.

Why is this important: The Return-It Electronics recycling program provides an environmentally sound recycling option for unwanted electronics. It ensures these items

will not be landfilled or illegally exported. You can drop off any of the acceptable products at designated Return-It Electronics Collection Sites without charge and be assured they will be recycled responsibly.

For large volumes: Pick up services for large volumes (i.e. three pallets or more) of unwanted electronics is provided at no cost as long as certain requirements have been met. Requirements can be found at return-it.ca/largevolume.

HOW TO FIND A COLLECTION SITE: There are more than 125 convenient locations in BC. To find a Collection Site near you, visit return-it.ca/electronics/locations or call 1-800-330-9767

Last year alone, more than 21,000 metric tonnes of electronics were kept out

of our landfi lls and recycled responsibly.

Even more electronics can now be recycled

Seniors overcome social isolation with food

The Richmond Food Bank is committed to combating

seniors’ social isolation with programs to help overcome barriers and bring people together.

In addition to onsite food distribution, where all clients receive nutritious food and connect with community social service agencies, the Richmond Food Bank offers a limited grocery delivery service where volunteers provide a bag of groceries and a warm smile to those who are physically unable to leave their homes.

The Richmond Food Bank also addresses social isolation with its Ageless Volunteerism program, where seniors and students engage in purposeful volunteer work in a sup-ported environment. This program will soon be expanded to include a Cooking Club, where seniors and others at risk for social isolation will prepare lunches for themselves and food bank volunteers.

“Nothing brings people together better than lunch, and our new Cooking Club will help seniors and other people overcome the social isolation that so often accompanies aging,” says Keith Yee, Richmond Food Bank volunteer co-ordinator. “Our volunteers always say that the Richmond Food Bank is a great place to make friends, and we hope to open up that opportunity to socially-isolated seniors in our community.”

The Richmond Food Bank offers grocery distribution Tuesdays from 1 to 2 p.m. at Peace Mennonite Church, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11 am to 1 pm, and Thurs-days from 6 to 7 p.m. at 5800 Cedarbridge Way. Ageless Volunteerism is offered on Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm. The Cooking Club will be launching soon on Tuesdays and Fridays. For more information on how you can help our neighbours in need, contact the Richmond Food Bank.

Phone line helps seniors with health-care concerns

The Seniors Health Care Support Line is now available to provide seniors and their families with support for health-care- related issues that they may have had trouble resolving.

The commitment to establish a single provincial phone line, giving seniors and their families a simple, accessible way to report concerns about care and have them handled in a respectful and timely fashion, is a key component of the province’s seniors action plan that was announced on Feb. 14, 2012.

Seniors who have issues accessing health-care services or with the health care they received can now call the Seniors Health Care Support Line to receive timely resolution of problems. This toll-free phone line is available Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. by calling 1 877 952-3181 or 250 952-3181 in Victoria.

This line will supplement existing reso-lution mechanisms available to support seniors with complex needs who have concerns about their health care.

Other ways seniors can get help with resolving care concerns include speak-ing with their health-care provider, contacting the Patient Care Quality Offi ces and independent Review Boards, health authorities or the relevant health professional colleges.

People can call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 any time of the day or night or go online to www.healthlinkbc.ca for information on how to contact


A GOOD REASON TO LEARN ABOUT YOUR MEDICATION!(Based on a likely scenario)

Jane is an independent older adult taking medications for a heart condition. When she began to have shortness of breath and dizzy spells while walking/standing she met with her family doctor, who changed her medications.

Jane did not question the medication change and did not want to ll the prescription as she thought she had the same medication at home already. As days went by, her condition became worse leading to a fall in her home and a potentially life threatening situation.

It was found that Jane did not ll the prescription given to her as she was not aware the doses were different.She is now taking the correct medication with the correct dose at the correct time and is back to her daily routines.

IF JANE HAD BEEN MORE AWARE OF HERMEDICATIONS THIS MAY HAVE BEEN PREVENTED.

Here are some easy questions to use when visiting your family doctor or pharmacist:

• RIGHT MEDICATION - Always ask the physician and/or pharmacist to review your list of medication to make sure you are taking the right medication • RIGHT REASON - Always ask the reason why you need to take the medication• RIGHT TIME AND DOSE - Always ask and confi rm how much medication to take and if there are certain times the medication should be taken • RIGHT ROUTE - Always ask and confi rm how it should be taken

DO NOT ASSUME YOU HAVE THE CORRECT MEDICATION AT HOME - THE DOSE MAY BE DIFFERENTALWAYS BRING A LIST OF YOUR MEDICATIONS WITH YOU WHEN VISITING YOUR PHYSICIAN /PHARMACIST / HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL

Roller derbyreturns Saturday

Terminal City Rollergirls are hosting another action-packed roller derby doubleheader Saturday (July 7) at Minoru Arenas.

The Rollergirls’ house team, the Faster Pussycats, will be taking on the Doomsday Bunnies from Clo-verdale’s Mainland Misfi ts league in the fi rst bout of the night. The Pussycats have only lost one bout so far this year—a nailbiting battle against the Bad Reputations back in April.

Fellow Rollergirls, The Bad Reputations, are also undefeated in league play this season as they take on some old foes from across the border in the sec-ond bout of the night: the Taco Kickers, a travel-only team from Everett.

Doors open at 5 p.m. with the fi rst whistle at 6 p.m.

Sockeyes switched him from forward to defencemanFrom Page 13

“I remember it clearly,” Ron John-son, coach of the 2002-03 Sock-eyes, told The Richmond Review on Tuesday.

Midway through the season, cap-tain Rob Dolter was traded to the Delta Ice Hawks for forward David Young, leaving a void on the de-fence. But before the trade was fi -nalized, Johnson went to Garrison and encouraged him to make the change from forward to defence.

“I think you’re a better defence-man than winger and if you’re going to make it (to the pros) it’s going to be as a d-man,” Johnson told him. “We’ll be better (as a team) if you play D and I’ll give you lots of ice time.”

“He was smart kid and had a good shot,” Johnson said. “And he was calm with the puck and made good decisions. On defence he settled ev-erything down and showed a natural aptitude when we put him back on the point. I’m glad he believed in (the change) and good for him (sign-ing with the Canucks). He always wanted to play for a pro team in his backyard.”

A native of White Rock, Garrison’s strong character was present even as a Sockeye and helped lift the team from a fi fth-place fi nish during the regular season to the Tom Shaw PIJHL playoff title (a seven-game fi nal series win over Abbotsford Pi-lots), the Cyclone Taylor Cup pro-vincial Junior B championship and

a third-place fi nish at the Western Canadians in which he was selected the top defenceman.

Garrison went on to play for the Nanaimo Clippers of the B.C. Hockey League the following two seasons (scoring 22 goals and 62 points in 57 games in 2004-05) before at-tending the University of Minnesota Duluth for three seasons, capped by a 14-point (in 26 games) season in 2007-08. He turned pro in 2008-09, signing a two-year entry level contract with the Florida Panthers. He played all but one game with the Panthers’ farm team in Roches-ter scoring 35 points in 75 games. He split the next season between Florida and Rochester, earning eight points in 39 games with the Pan-

thers. He improved to 18 points in 73 games with the Panthers in 2010-11 and last season broke out for 16 goals and 33 points in 77 games, adding a goal and two assists in the Panthers’ four playoff games.

Despite being six-foot-two and 220 pounds, Garrison isn’t overly aggressive but is known for his strong positional play. And because he’s always been eager to improve, Johnson believes the best is yet to come.

“I think he’s going to become even more,” Johnson said. “He has that natural talent and good poise, and while there are things he needs to work on like anyone he has that advantage of playing forward that enables him to see things some-

times that others don’t.”In a 2010 interview with The Re-

view, Garrison said playing some forward has helped him become a better transitional player, which he tries to demonstrate by rushing the puck up the ice.

But while this weekend’s deal with the Canucks suggests he’s made it as a pro player, another of Gar-rison’s previous comments speaks to his ongoing commitment to get better.

“There are a lot of good defence-men in the league and they all kind of bring different things to the table,” he said. “One of the biggest things is learning from your experience and not taking anything for granted. I’m still learning the game.”

A’s win on Van Ostrand homerby Don FennellSports Editor

A three-run homer in the fi rst inning by David Van Ostrand powered the host Richmond Athletics to a men’s baseball tournament title Sunday at Latrace Field.

Sitting on a curve ball, Van Ostrand belted a shot deep over the right fi eld fence in a 4-2 championship-game victory over Newton.

The A’s also got stellar pitching from Matt Winograd who had fi ve strikeouts and scattered three hits before leaving the game in the sixth inning.

“Overall, it was a good fi rst tourna-ment,” said A’s player-coach Ryan Klen-man. “We were happy with eight teams for the inaugural event and considering the weather, we had no rainouts.”

Van Ostrand also won the home run derby on Saturday night.

The A’s were undefeated in four games, winning the fi rst two by identical 10-1 counts over Vancouver and Burnaby and then secured a 1-0 victory over Port Coquitlam by scoring the game’s only run on a lead-off base hit by Mike Basford that scored Charles Shapiro in the bottom of the seventh inning.

The A’s are also enjoying a pretty solid season in the Lower Mainland Baseball As-sociation, sitting at 7-2 and just a game out of top spot in the 18-and over Bob Bunnet Division.

A’s outfi eld-er Paul Janda played a little short-stop against Burnaby.

> Steveston Salmon Festival

Steveston was swelling with Canadian pride

as thousands turned out for the Steveston Community Society’s 67th Salmon Festival on Sunday.

The annual Canada Day celebration fea-tured everything from a parade and pancake breakfast in the morning to live performances and carnival activities in the afternoon.

“This is probably my favourite day of the year,” said Janice Froese, the executive director of the Steveston Community Society.

The parade, which had just over 100 fl oats, was a highlight of the day.

“It was a great parade,” said Froese.

“There were a lot of diverse community groups,” she said.

Steveston was busier than usual during the festival this year as Ships to Shore was happening at the same time.

“It was an added ben-efi t,” said Tracy Paldy, the co-chair of the Salmon Festival.

“There is more chance for community involve-ment [this year] with the Ships to Shore,” she said.

Due to the timing of the events, the Salmon Festival decided to expand and have part of their festivities, including their carnival rides, open for two days instead of just one.

Any surplus money from the festival, which traditionally goes to a community-oriented project, will go towards an educational garden this year.
