Matthew Hoekstra photoShari and Terry Akesson live near an area of South Arm Community Park slated for a 1,400-square-metre off -leash area, which they say will ruin the peaceful nature of the park.

Petition against impending dog park spreads through South Arm neighbourhood

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

A promised off -leash area at South Arm Community Park has some neighbour-hood residents barking mad.

Giving new meaning to the dog days of summer, city offi cials are creating four new fenced fi elds for fi dos, including a 1,400-square-metre site behind the ten-nis courts at the Broadmoor-area park. But neighbours—feeling cheated they weren’t consulted fi rst—are signing a

petition against it.“The designated area is absolutely

nonsense. It is the only open fi eld that we have in South Arm Park,” said Eve Rol-let de Darantes, an area resident since 1971. “I’m going to look down on this fenced-in park, having barking dogs.”

The longtime resident, who also fought against artifi cial turf at South Arm, is pro-posing alternate sites away from homes. She vows to step up protests if the city doesn’t back down.

Neighbour Shari Akesson called the lack of consultation “frustrating.”

“We just don’t think this is the right lo-cation,” she said. “This is one of the last quiet parks.”

Husband Terry Akesson said what is now a grassy area is used by many for

passive recreation will soon become an “unsightly mess” and force residents to fi ght for limited street parking with dog owners.

“I agree it’s equal rights for everybody, I just wonder why we have to put a big off -leash park in the middle of a long-established quiet and peaceful park.”

Council approved the off -leash area June 9, along with others at Garden City Community Park, McCallan Neighbour-hood Park (along the Railway corridor) and an empty lot at 7300 Elmbridge Way. All four are pilot projects, subject to re-view after a year.

Fences are scheduled to go up in the next couple of weeks, according to the city.

School still on for international studentsTeachers protest summer camp that’s been moved to a private school


International students headed to class in Richmond this week, despite Richmond School District’s cancellation of summer school for all other students.

The teachers’ ongoing labour dispute forced the district to cancel summer programs last week, but a non-credit program for international students is going ahead on neu-tral ground.

Hosted this year at Richmond Christian School’s No. 5 Road campus, the program is a summer camp for foreign students of various ages. Students learn English, attend fi eld trips and learn about Canada and Richmond, accord-ing to Richmond school board chair Donna Sargent.

“They choose to come in the summer just to get to know Richmond a bit more, see what it’s like, see if they might be interested in the full-time international program, which happens in September.”

Two three-week programs are off ered at $1,875 each, ac-cording to the district’s website.

District offi cials decided against cancelling the program last week, having already made agreements with parents. Sargent said some students had already arrived.

“They have paid, they are here. So what do you do?”A call to the Richmond Teachers’ Association was not re-

turned by press time, but B.C. Teachers’ Federation mem-bers protested outside Richmond Christian School Mon-day, as contract talks between the union and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association have stalled.

Last week a B.C. Supreme Court justice concluded this week that teachers and government are too far apart on wages and working conditions for mediation to be effective.

Sargent said both union and non-union teachers are lead-ing the summer camps, but added unionized employees are working under a contract that isn’t linked to the current labour dispute.

“The whole situation is very challenging,” she said. “We want labour peace, we want both parties at the table bar-gaining in good faith, and we want them to come up with a reasonable settlement, and we want it to happen as soon as possible.”

Residents urge city to call off dogs

Civic slate unveils candidates, who include a retired cop and business leader


Elsa Wong and Andy Hobbs will join political veterans Bill McNulty, Derek Dang and Linda McPhail on the Richmond First council slate, or-ganizers announced Tuesday.

Richmond First Voters Society un-veiled its candidates for city coun-cil and school board in front of a shoulder-to-shoulder crowd at Shi-ang Garden Seafood Restaurant, be-coming the fi rst civic group to take the wraps off election plans before the Nov. 15 vote.

Organizer and former longtime councillor Kiichi Kumagai, who es-timated the crowd at over 1,000, held court for a brief press confer-ence introducing the incumbents and political hopefuls.

Wong, 52, is a business consultant and an eight-year president of the Canada Asia Pacifi c Business Asso-ciation. Hobbs, 56, is a retired Van-couver Police Department execu-tive who served six years on school board—with his last term ending in 2008.

“Richmond is my home, I grew up here, and have chosen to remain here and raise our children here,”

said Hobbs, a Richmond High grad. “I have something to give back.”

Pledging to work on lower taxes and public safety, Wong, who emi-grated from Hong Kong in 1992, said: “So many people encouraged me to run.”

The pair will be joined by incum-bents McNulty, Dang and McPhail on the council ballot.

In keeping with past elections, the society isn’t running a mayoral candidate—no one expressed inter-est, according to organizers—but is putting fi ve names on the ballot for school board. Incumbents Donna Sargent, Debbie Tablotney and Eric Yung will run alongside newcomers Kevin Lloyd Lainchbury and Peter Liu.

Not returning to the Richmond First fold this year is Coun. Ken John-ston, who abandoned the group a few months ago. Johnston said he left on good terms, and has decid-ed to “go in a diff erent direction” by running either as an independent or with the newly-formed Richmond Community Coalition.

Richmond First Voters Society ran

four candidates for council and four for school board in 2011. All were elected. McNulty topped the polls in 2011, with running mates McPhail and Dang right behind him.

McNulty called the slate diverse, and said his 12-year-old political group is working to bridge com-munities and encourage civic par-ticipation—a message the new rival group Richmond Community Coali-tion is also sending.

“It’s composed of experience and new people, to get the fl avour of the community, and I think we reached out to the community to get that,” he said. “Richmond First continues to reach out to the community and has always tried to encourage voter turnout.”

On Nov. 15, voters will elect one mayor, eight councillors and seven trustees.

Candidates must fi le nomination papers between Sept. 30 and Oct. 10.

Stockwell Day will speak about boosting voter turn-out at a town hall meeting in Richmond July 15.

A newly-formed po-litical group is bringing former federal cabinet minister Stockwell Day to its first town hall meeting next week.

The Richmond Com-munity Coalition is encouraging local resi-dents to share their “lo-cal priorities,” as well as ideas to boost voter turnout and participa-tion in civic politics.

In the 2011 civic elec-tion, just 23.7 per cent of registered voters in Richmond cast ballots.

The town hall meet-ing is scheduled for Tuesday, July 15 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Richmond Cultural Centre’s Per-formance Hall, 7700 Minoru Gate.

Day was elected nine times over 25 years ats an Albertan MLA and a British Columbian MP. He was leader of the Canadian Alliance Party, the predecessor of the Conservative Party. After winning re-election in 2008, he was appointed minister of

International Trade and minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway and regional minister for B.C. Day did not seek re-election in 2011.

The Richmond Com-munity Coalition

launched last month as a “dedicated group of Richmond community activists,” but has yet to announce its list of candidates for the Nov. 15 vote.

Stockwell Day to speak at town hall meeting

From Page 1Another fenced off -leash area, at

Dover Park, is being removed after feedback from area residents sug-gested it had limited popularity.

Bob Lauriente, a South Arm area resident for 35 years, said the loca-tion is “crazy,” and will disrupt one of the few passive areas of the park. He suggested a location near Wil-liams Road would be better.

“A lot of us have lived here for a long time, and used that park for a long time, and we were allowed no input at all.”

City spokesperson Ted Townsend said there’s demand from dog owners for more spaces to let their pets off -leash. Dog parks are also aimed at manag-ing the problem of off -leash dogs elsewhere.

“South Arm is one area where we did have issues with dogs run-ning off leash. This will hopefully help to mitigate that issue in a way that is best for all,” he said.

Townsend also said the city con-sulted with the community associ-ation on the appropriate site, add-ing staff will be closely monitoring the pilot program and listening to the community.

At last month’s meeting, city councillors spoke in favour of the new areas.

Coun. Ken Johnston said pets

have a positive eff ect on human health, and off -leash areas are important for dogs. He cited a study from Australia, where an estimated $1 billion is saved an-nually in health care costs due to pet ownership.

“I’m really happy that Rich-mond’s taking this approach,” he said. “I spend a lot of time in the Steveston (off -leash park), and it’s a great social interaction, on top of everything else.”

Coun. Evelina Halsey-Brandt also

spoke about the health benefi ts pets can provide their owners.

“I think it’s really important that we recognize that people who live in these very dense areas own dogs. They need to bring those dogs out to be able to socialize and have an area where they can take them off leash. That’s really healthy for the animals, and I think it’s healthy for the owners too.”

Richmond has approximately 5,200 licensed dogs, according to the city.

City says there’s demand for more off -leash areas

Pablo Dodda photo via FlickrThe Doggie Park at Dyke and No. 3 roads was one of the few public off -leash areas in Richmond. Now four new areas have been added as pilot projects.

Union demands crackdown on low ratesby Jeff NagelBlack Press

Unionized container truckers say the province and Port Metro Vancouver haven’t done enough to crack down on rate un-dercutting within their in-dustry since a deal ended a 28-day strike this spring.

New minimum rates were supposed to be enforced—complaints would be investigated by the province and then the port could suspend or even ban off ending com-panies from access to the container terminals.

Unifor spokesman Gavin McGarrigle said the prov-ince promised to enact legislation in the fall to do its part, but the union’s members feel that may not come fast enough.

“It could erupt very quickly into another dis-pute,” McGarrigle said of the simmering tensions.

Unionized drivers’ jobs are at risk because their companies are losing work to cut-rate non-union trucking fi rms that don’t abide by the minimum rates, he said.

“If we have a company with 50 trucks and all of a sudden 20 of us aren’t go-ing to be working because someone isn’t playing by the terms of the action plan, are we suppposed to just sit and wait at home while the province has its summer vacation?”

He said minimum rates agreed in the strike settle-ment were to have been in eff ect within 30 days of the return to work in March.

“Here we are 100-plus days out and they haven’t taken the necessary mea-sures to backstop the ac-tion plan to make it bind-ing,” McGarrigle said.

Port Metro Vancouver spokesman John Parker-Jervis said the port has set up a whistleblower line where container truckers can lodge complaints on matters from rate under-cutting to excessive waits at port terminals.

The line has been in place four weeks and has received more than 100 complaints so far.

Parker-Jervis said there haven’t been any licence suspensions yet but a number of investigations are ongoing.

He said the port has made substantial progress

on completing the Joint Action Plan that ended the strike.

Completed measures

include the opening of terminals at night to re-duce congestion and installation of GPS units

in all trucks to improve effi ciency and so drivers can be compensated for unreasonable waits.

Richmond air cadet named highest ranking cadet

Ricky He, an air cadet from 692 BCIT Aerospace Squadron in Richmond, was appointed Camp Warrant Offi cer, 1st Class (WO1), becoming the highest ranking cadet at Albert Head Cadet Sum-mer Training Centre.

The 18-year old will lead more than a thou-sand air cadets attend-ing the summer camp in Metchosin until Aug. 16. Four of past six Camp Warrant Offi cers have been from Richmond.

“The Cadet Program is designed for youth, and led by youth,” said WO1 He, a fi rst year UBC student. “It’s self-sustain-able—we get a lot of guidance from adults, but the cadets often be-come those adults (giv-ing back to the Program). Cadets can change teen-agers’ lives.”

WO1 He was awarded his position after he and 78 other senior air ca-dets underwent a rigor-ous, fi ve-day selection process, which included detailed assessments of their leadership abilities, instructional skills, as well as dress and deportment. Canadian Armed Force offi cers interviewed the top 10 cadets, and then made the decision as to who was to be Camp WO1.

This summer is WO1 He’s fi nal summer with the Cadet Program as a cadet, as he will turn 19 in December.

There are nearly 500 air cadets in Richmond spread throughout three squadrons: 609 Ste-veston Squadron, 655 Richmond Squadron, and 692 BCIT Aerospace Squadron. Over 200 air cadets are with 692 BCIT Aerospace Squadron alone, which parades at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. There are just over 3600 air cadets in B.C.

The Cadet Program is a national program for young Canadians aged 12 to 18 who are inter-ested in participating in a variety of fun, chal-lenging and rewarding activities while learning about the sea, army and air activities of the Cana-dian Armed Forces. Ca-dets make valuable con-tributions to Canadian society on a daily basis in terms of environmen-tal, citizenship and com-munity activities. Cadets also learn valuable life and work skills such as teamwork, leadership and citizenship.

opinion

A few weeks be-fore the land-mark decision

declaring aboriginal title proven by the Tsilhqot’in Nation, I picked up a used uni-versity textbook that looked like a handy reference.

Geography in British Columbia: People and Landscapes in Transition, by Brett McGillivray (UBC Press, Second Edition) is a good reference, except where it strays from geog-raphy into politics.

This 2005 edition came out not long before the B.C. Treaty Commission started producing agree-ments, notably with the Tsawwassen First Nation. It recounts the establish-ment of the Ministry of Native Aff airs by the Bill Vander Zalm government in 1990, and the election the next year of Mike Har-court’s NDP, who reversed the province’s historical legal position and tried to accept the existence of aboriginal title.

At this point the text-book departs from the facts and leads its fresh-man pupils into left-wing dogma.

McGillivray writes: “When the Liberal Party won the 2001 election (with all but two seats), it launched a province-wide referendum on treaty negotiations, prompting commen-tators to suggest the government was ‘trying

to impose 19th century ideas on a 21st century problem’.”

“Commentators” in the above quote is of course only one commentator, veteran lefty Vancouver columnist Stephen Hume.

This quote was indeed representative of the media consensus at the time. On TV, aboriginal leaders burned their bal-lots while denouncing the referendum as racist and divisive. The public, and later university students, were taught that Gordon Campbell’s government was exploiting racism for political gain.

In fact, this referendum was one of a long series of eff orts to untangle the legal knot left by Canada and B.C.’s failure to com-plete historical treaties after 1900.

Seven of the eight ques-tions in the 2002 referen-dum were simply to con-fi rm the existing position of B.C. treaty negotiators. The purpose, then as now, was to settle treaties.

The fi rst question asked if private land should be exempt from expropria-tion for treaty settlements. Private property rights are not so much a 19th cen-tury idea as a 17th century one, defi ned in 1690 by John Locke.

What remains true today is that no society has made signifi cant social and environmental progress without indi-vidual property rights. See the woeful state of most of Canada’s communally owned aboriginal reserves, where individually owned property isn’t permitted.

The Tsilhqot’in dropped

claims of property held by non-aboriginal residents from their appeal to the highest court, a wise move considering that pushing people from their homes would lead to violent con-frontations.

Other referendum ques-tions related to preserving public access to Crown land for hunting, fi shing and park use. All were endorsed.

The only new question asked if aboriginal self-government “should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia.”

Arguably, that’s what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial juris-diction over public forest policy on environmental and fi re protection on aboriginal title lands.

By 2009, frustrated with a lack of progress, due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as inconsistent leadership from aboriginal communi-ties, the Campbell govern-ment tried to cut the knot. Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form of aboriginal title across the province, based on 30 historical “indig-enous nations.”

That idea originated not with the province but with the First Nations Leader-ship Council. It was re-jected by a broader group of aboriginal leaders later that year.

The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002 referendum, is sharing land use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues.

The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to come.

Life after the Tsilhqot’in decision

The prime minister chose an odd day for four federal byelections — Monday, June 30. Voting day came in the midst of what was, for many, a four-day long weekend. It also oc-curred on the eve of Canada Day.

Two of the byelections were in the Toronto area, and two were in Al-berta. Turnout in all four was very low, much lower than in a federal election. One race in Alberta attracted just a 15 percent turnout — lower than in Langley municipal elections.

The highest turnout, about 33 per

cent, was in downtown Toronto’s Trinity-Spadina byelection, where Liberal Adam Vaughan handily won the seat that had been held by Olivia Chow of the NDP, widow of the late Jack Layton. Chow is running for mayor of Toronto.

The seat was competitive and is considered a bellwether for the Liber-als in urban Ontario. Justin Trudeau’s leadership of the federal Liberals clearly resonates with the downtown Toronto mood.

One should not read too much into

the byelection results, considering the low voter turnout. However, the Liberals fared very well, winning the two Toronto seats comfortably and placing second in the two Alberta races behind the Conservatives.

Trudeau’s leadership has clearly helped keep Liberal supporters within the fold, and the party should do well in Ontario in the next federal election. That province may in fact be its strongest area of support, given that the provincial Liberals, who are much more closely allied to their

federal namesakes in Ontario than in B.C., recently won a majority govern-ment there.

The Conservatives have a good chance to retain government in the October, 2015 federal election — if the Liberal and NDP vote remains split. The NDP should do well in Quebec, but their ability to retain status as the offi cial opposition may be in question, given that the Liberals seem to be building a signifi cant amount of momentum.

—Black Press

EDITORIAL: Liberals fare well in byelections

Former premier Mike Harcourt changed the province’s legal position to recognize aborigi-nal title in the early 1990s, before Gordon Campbell’s government held a referendum on the terms of treaty settlements.

On TV, aboriginal leaders burned

their ballots while denouncing the

referendum as racist and divisive.

The public, and later university stu-

dents, were taught that Gordon Camp-

bell’s government was exploiting

racism for political gain.

letters

Editor:Re: “Too many

monstrosities,” Arny Abramson, and “Another new neighbourhood may soon be destroyed,” Ralph and Edith Turner, Letters, July 4.

Having written many letters over the years decrying the utter lack of concern that the City of Richmond has shown in regards to making well-informed, educated decisions about build-ing codes, intelligent community planning, and the devolution of our neighbourhoods, I only regret that other letter writers did not join me years ago in voicing their displeasure at what has happened to Richmond.

Much irreparable dam-age has already been done to our residential and commercial neigh-bourhoods because our mayor, city council, and various city depart-ments have clearly demonstrated that they are far more concerned about satisfying the needs and wants of developers, part-time residents, and wealthy off -shore investors than those of long-time, permanent, lower and middle class, and elderly residents.

On the one hand, empty, over-sized pseu-do-mansions dominate our streets while young Canadian couples are forced to move further afi eld because they can no longer aff ord to buy a detached house in Richmond.

When my family moved to Richmond in the late 1950s we knew all of our neighbours, commonly held neigh-bourhood parties and played sports together, and always looked out for each other. Now we either have empty houses and no neigh-bours, or people in the new houses that make

it clear they do not want to have anything to do with us. And, as I have stated several times before, Richmond is now viewed widely as a prime example of how not to plan a viable, vibrant, inclusive community.

Mr. Abramson and the Turners will learn what I have over the years: don’t expect your

concerns to be ad-dressed with any degree of interest because there is, and always has been, a distinct attitude of “If you don’t like what is happening why don’t you just move!” that emanates from the offi ces in city hall. When the next election comes around perhaps Mr. Abramson, the Turners,

and many more will join me in reminding Richmond’s citizens that while we cannot undo the damage that has already been done we do at least have the power to change the makeup of Richmond’s governing body. Better late than never!

Outdoor gas barbecues are traditionally treated like socks.After a few good years of use,

you toss them out and buy a new one.But with stainless steel

barbecues ranging in price from $400 to $1,200 or more, that can be a pricey proposition.But the team at Savannah

Heating Products, at 100-11091 Bridgeport Rd., just east of Shell, is convinced once locals sample what the Big Green Egg grill is capable of creating, they won’t ever turn back.From smoking steaks to tender

perfection, to baking pizzas to delightful crustiness, to grilling up succulent burgers, fl akey fi sh or roasting poultry, the Egg excels at being versatile.And since it uses natural lump

charcoal, which produces little ash, it can add a great range of different fl avours to foods—depending on the choice of smoking chips—minus the chemical aftertaste.Made of space-age ceramics

developed specifi cally for it, the

Big Green Egg is designed to keep the moisture and fl avours locked inside whatever’s on the menu.And it’s built to last, with a

limited lifetime warranty, with a special glaze designed to retain its good looks, and easily wipes clean. And since you’ll be keeping it for a lifetime, it won’t clog the waste stream like traditional metal propane grills.And as far as clean-up goes,

the heat burns up any grease build-up, and it’s ready to be used in as little as 10 minutes.With a reputation as the

world’s best smoker and grill earned since 1974, the Big Green Egg is also an oven capable of baking bread, pizza, cookies, cakes and even pies much more quickly than a kitchen oven.It’s only limited by one’s

imagination.And with an entire catalogue

fi lled with Eggcessories, each can be tailor-made to suit each individual’s unique taste and preference.For more information about

Editor:Identifying which

teacher is the best I’ve ever had is an easy task. Although I had a high array of op-tions to choose from, Mr. J. Knight, a Grade 6/7 Teacher at Samuel Brighouse Elementary, is defi nitely the best teacher I have ever had.

Most people would defi ne a teacher as a person that seeks for their students to excel academically. This is almost right. My teacher is like that, but he cares about you more. He cares about your prob-lems and insecurities. He has the ability to interest a classroom of thirty teenagers. Most of all, he strives to make your learning experi-ence as enjoyable as possible.

This teacher is Mr.

Knight and he has made my last two years in elementary a wonderful time. He cares about you greatly. He would help you with any extracurric-ular problems and assist you anytime you need help. Throughout the school year, he would let us share what we did during the weekends and express our lives outside of school. This has made school not as boring for all of us.

It takes an abundant amount of eff ort to maintain a class of 30. Many teachers have a hard time doing this, but Mr. Knight man-aged it easily. He knew he had authority in the classroom, and we knew that too, but he had his compassionate side. His great organiza-tion skills help him fi t in the best activities

for us to do and help us learn as much as we can in the short time we have at school. Mr. Knight would imple-ment extras and off er incentives. At fi rst I was reluctant, but I slowly started receiving bonus marks, which boosted my grades immensely. Now, I tend to do more on all of my assign-ments, whether or not Mr. Knight suggested it. I have learned that he has done this not only to boost me up, but also to prepare me for my academic future.

Mr. Knight has made my school year the best I could ever have had. He would encourage me to learn as much as I could and say that it would benefi t me later on. He was always hard on us, but it was done to push us to our fullest

extent and for us to learn the most we pos-sibly can in our short time in school.

Turning my bad grades into outstand-ing grades in a year should make Mr. Knight the most infl uential teacher I have ever had. My grades were inferior the fi rst year with Mr. Knight, but he improved me slightly every term and now I have one of the highest standings in the class.

I would like to thank Mr. Knight for being such a great teacher in the two years he has taught me. Thank you for providing not only me, but also everyone else in the class with ex-tremely practical advice and amazing unforget-table memories.

Chris WongRichmond

Start charging for ESLEditor:

The ongoing B.C. Teachers Federation dispute and repetitive media interviews with teachers and parents is getting tiresome.

No one has reminded the teach-ers that government funding for education is given to their local school districts, which are overseen by their local elected school boards. When we hear teachers lamenting the fi ring or lack of teachers’ aides, it is their local school districts that make these decisions, not Christy Clark with a ball point pen deciding who is getting laid off or fi red.

The BCTF, the teachers and the media have given the school districts a free ride, yet they are the ones that make the decisions about the number of teachers, aides, funds, etc. Remember a month ago Vancouver Board of Education chair Patti Bacchus lamenting she was canceling the music groups dues to a $600,000 fund needed to keep them going. Yet two years ago, there was an article about the $16 million dol-lars the Vancouver School Board wasted on the high teacher on call

wages paid to retired teachers.If anyone actually asked the

school district about their deci-sions, the government dollar bo-geyman would be their automatic answer. With enrolment and the number of teachers decreasing an-nually, has anyone asked if school district staff has been reduced?

Looking at other unnecessary expenses, has anyone asked their local school district the make up of their teachers on call list—the old boys and girls network is alive and well with many retired teachers on the list whose hourly rate is two to three times higher than a new teacher. A newer teacher on call is paid an hourly rate based on Pay

Level 1 while a retired teacher’s hourly rate is based on Pay Level 4, which is 2 to 3 times higher. Re-tired teachers don’t work because of need, but because of greed.

New teachers fi nd it very diffi cult to get employment. Principals have their ‘buddy list’ who get the jobs.

We hear of the ongoing problem for more and more ESL teach-ers. We should be addressing the problem as to why children born in our cities show up to register for Kindergarten or Grade 1 and can’t speak English. Start charging for ESL and the problem would disap-pear within two to three years.

If it is “all about the kids” isn’t it about time that the BCTF, the teachers, the school districts, the school boards, the government and the media took a look at how the education funds are being spent and what changes could be made to maximize the use of these dollars instead of the tiresome bleating of “we need more money” as the beleaguered taxpayer is get-ting taxed out.

The Richmond Public Library Endow-ment Fund held by the Richmond Com-munity foundation recently received a $10,000 donation from Kronier & Sparrow Ltd. of Richmond.

“We’re very grateful for this generous and ongoing support, and look forward to growing the capital in our endowment fund for the long term benefi t of all Rich-mond residents,” said library board chair Peter Kafka.

Thanks to the Kronier family and others, the capital contributed to the Richmond

Public Library Endowment Fund held by the Richmond Community Foundation has grown to $88,967.

“The library has decided to use the 2013 investment income from the Richmond Public Library Endowment Fund—which amounts to $1,502.77—towards the pur-chase of modular tables and chairs that can accommodate fl exible one-to-one or group learning activities. This improve-ment is a result of user comments made during the library’s public consultation,” said Kafka. “The Kroniers and other donors

should feel proud that they are contribut-ing in a very practical way to the many new learning opportunities the library is off ering.”

Anyone interested in investing in the future of Richmond Public Library and our community by donating to the Richmond Public Library Endowment Fund held by the Richmond Community Foundation, can contact chief librar-ian Greg Buss at 604-231-6418 or the Richmond Community Foundation at 604-270-4483.

St. Alban church hosts music camps

Local music teacher David Larson is organizing a series of musical day camps for young musi-cians in Richmond this summer.

The week-long camps for strings and piano have a particu-lar focus on develop-ing music skills of sight reading, rhythm and counting. Larson, who has been teach-ing and conducting for four decades, said he also aims to help musicians develop musical friendships.

“The musicians will work very hard, together, supporting each other, and do things together they might not have attempted by themselves. This gets very exciting,” he said.

The camps, which will include instruction from pianist Danielle Marcinek, is open to violin, viola, cello and piano players. St. Alban Anglican Church (7260 St. Albans Rd.) will host; dates are July 21 to 25, Aug. 11 to 15 and Aug. 25 to 29. Weekly cost is $200, or $375 for full day.

For more information call Larson at 778-232-9862, or e-mail [email protected].

GARDEN CITY DUCT BANK PROJECT

by Don FennellSports Editor

Richmond Junior Chuckers continue to test the old ticker of their enthusiastic man-ager Serj Sangara.

For the sixth time al-ready this season, the B.C. Minor Baseball League team found itself in a one-run ball game Sunday at Blundell Field. Fortu-nately for everyone’s sake, they found a way to complete a dramatic 9-8 victory over visit-ing Chilliwack Braves with three runs in the bottom of the ninth in-ning.

The Chuckers were also involved in yet an-other game that ended in a tie when no winner could be found before darkness set in.

Closer Keenan Sam-son Kapp picked up the win with four shut-out innings, after Rich-mond trailed 8-4 after five innings. Tyler Hass delivered the walk-off single to end the game, but it was “team hit-ting” that got the team back in position to win, said Sangara.

“Unfortunately, that’s been few and far be-tween this season as four of those one-run

games resulted in losses,” said Sangara, whose team has but three league wins to show for its efforts thus far. “Hopefully with the opening of the new batting cages at Blundell, the team can get back to work-ing on some basic fun-

damentals required to win those ball games.”

Sangara points to the May long week-end tournament win at the Tsawwassen Grand Slam Invitational as the highlight of the season, though a 2-0 loss to the Midget AAAs in the an-nual alumni game at Nat Bailey Stadium last month also deservers consideration.

“But we think the best is yet to come, provid-ing the team stdicks to its intended goals,” said the ever-optimistic Sangara. “With a good finishing run over the last half, we can still reach our goal of com-peting in the Tier 1 playoffs in mid-August.”

Vancouver Blue Jays are up next, visiting Blundell Park tonight at 6 p.m.

•Despite the Chuckers’ inconsistency, Nawid Niyaz continues to give the team outstanding pitching as the go-to starter. Samson Kapp has also been solid as the go-to closer, while solid middle relief from several others has also been encouraging.

Samson Kapp along with Brandon Kirk, Aus-tin Nikolai and Byron Prasad are the go-to players offensively.

Wednesday, July 9, 2014 Richmond Review -

WOLFE –OlgaWOLFE –Olga - Born July 3, 1929 in Reichenau, Yugoslavia (present day Slovenia) Passed away July 3, 2014 in Richmond, BC. It is with great sadness and endless love that we announce the passing of a loving mother, wife, nana, great-nana, sister, sister-in-law and friend. Olga passed away peacefully on her 85th birthday surrounded by her loving family. She leaves behind her children Tony (Carole), Shirley (Richard), Linda (Gary), Laura (Paul). Her greatest joys were her 9 grandchildren: Natalie (Jim), Michael (Tiffany), Matthew, Tyler, Nicholas, Cristina (Jim), Kristin, Bradley and Catherine and her 2 great-grandchildren, Daniel and Peter, as well as her numerous nieces, nephews and cousins that were very dear to her. Predeceased by her rst husband Alois Sehn, 1951 – 1956, and beloved husband Christian Wolfe, 1962- 2010, and by her parents Mathias and Anna (Schuss) Ramor. She will be sadly missed by her brother Joe (Movana) Ramor and sister Regina (Doug) Gardner.

A long time member of the Catholic Women’s League (CWL), she spent countless hours volunteering at St. Monica’s parish. Olga was devoted to her Catholic faith and always put others before herself. She spoke fondly of her 12 years working at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Vancouver . Olga enjoyed tending to her vegetable and beautiful ower gardens. Her love of cooking, baking, knitting and crocheting

left a mark on anyone who received one of her handmade treasures. The love of her family gave her great strength and she touched many lives with her kindness and generosity. We will miss her terribly and nd comfort in knowing she is at peace. A special thank-you to a dear personal nurse, Maria, and all the staff at Pinegrove Place for their compassionate care, as well as Dr. James McCreary. Evening Prayers will be held at 7:30pm, Thursday, July 10, 2014. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, July 11, at 11:00am. Both Masses will be held at St. Monica’s Parish, 12011 Woodhead Road, Richmond, BC. Auf Noch Schachn / Auf Wiedersehen!!

But hheeeaalaltth has improved forr seeeizizzzeedd Rottweilers, whohavvee eeeaaacch lost between 10 andd 11555 ppoounds

by Jaacqquuueeeliinne Langennd Maarrttinnn vvan den Hemellackk PreessssA bbid too hhavve two Rottweilers released

rom dogggyy ddeeath row was denied by a Rich-mondd proovvvinnciial court judge, who ruled last weekk hee dddiddnn’tt have jurisdiction to hear thematteer.

City lawyer Kevin Westell argued beforeJudge Dennis Schmidt that the court didn’thave the power to grant an interim release of the dogs before a scheduled hearing onApril 10 at Richmond provincial court.

Fearing for the welfare of their pets, afterlearning they hadn’t been walked in months and had ballooned in weight, owner NavNijjer and his mother Prabjot Nijjer soughtto have the court intervene and release the dogs prior to the court hearing.

But it wasn’t all bad news for the Nijjer family, who have seen a significant improve-ment in the health of their pets, Axel and Paris.

They appear to have lost between 10 and15 pounds each in the past couple of weeks, are being walked daily, and are out in the yard

for a few hours each day, according to lawyer Joe Peschisolido, whose firm has been hired fiby the family after the City of Richmond ap-plied to have the dogs destroyed.

The Richmond Review revealed two weeks ago that volunteers and staff at the RichmondffAnimal Protection Society were barred from walking the seized dogs, which have been labelled as dangerous by the city. A society policy had prohibited anyone from walkingdangerous dogs, which under normal circum-stances would have been seized for a maxi-mum of 21 days.

Since they were seized on Oct. 25, followinga minor biting incident involving a construc-tion worker who suff ered a dime-sized contu-ffffsion to his upper thigh, the dogs have gained an estimated 25 pounds each.

The extra exercise, along with a chaanggee ttootheir diet, has resulted in a notable upptticckk iinntheir health, Peschisolido said.

The Nijjers are hoping their pets willl bbee rree--turned and have built an enclosure thheeyy ssaayy ensures that the dogs never escape aggainn.

The enclosure was inspected by animmaal bbbee-haviour specialist Dr. Rebecca Ledgeer, wwwhhonoted there are now three fences—eaacchh ““aatleast fi ve feet tall, robust and well-conssttruucctt-fied”—between the Nijjer’s yard and thee adddjaa-cent Henry Anderson Elementary Schooool.

“These fences prevent school childrenn ffrroommmlooking into your yard to see the dogs,, aannnddalso prevent the dogs from seeing out or ccoommm--ing within 20 feet of the property line,” LLeddggeerr wrote.

Canada Day in Steveston

There was no bet-ter place to be for Canada’s 147th

birthday than amongst the crowds gathered at the Steveston Commu-nity Society’s 69th an-nual Steveston Salmon Festival.

An estimated 100,000 people came out to enjoy live entertainment, a 110-float parade and great food, includ-ing the popular salmon bake.

Special to the festival this year was an official swearing in ceremony where a group of people took an oath to officially become Canadian citizens.

“Everyone was so happy with it … it was a great way to start off the day,” said Janice Froese, the executive director of the Steveston Community Society.

It is something the Salmon Festival organizers would like to make a permanent part of the festival.

Also new to the festival this year was a car show, organized by the Richmond Lions Club.

“(It was) very exciting for car buffs,” Froese said.

The Salmon Festival was run with the help of over 400 volunteers.

Each year it helps raise funds for projects that help serve the community.

This year, the Steveston Community Society is looking to raise money to update the community cen-tre playground.

“We’re raising money to do an accessibility upgrade and refurbishment for the play-ground,” Froese said.
