Bigger is better, critic says of poolCity moving ahead with 25-metre pool for new Minoru Park facilityby Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

A longtime local resident wonders why the city didn’t opt to build a 50-metre pool instead of the current 25-me-tre pool currently called for in plans to replace the Minoru Aquatic Centre.

Chris Neale, a former facili-ties manager for the University of BC Aquatic Centre, said the city’s existing plan is short-sighted, and lacks the long-term vision needed for the downtown core.

“If council is going to spend $80 million...could we have a facility that complements this community, that will serve us for the next 50 years?” Neale wrote in a letter to council. “A 25-metre pool just does not serve the best interests of the community.”

Coun. Bill McNulty said he

also posed the question about the 50-metre pool for the $80-million facility, which will house both a replacement for the existing pool as well as a seniors centre.

But he said there wasn’t enough support on council to build the longer pool.

Rosemary Nickerson, vice-chair of the Richmond Aquat-ics Services Board, explained that a longer pool would have used up the space necessary for secondary pools (a leisure pool and a teaching pool) that better meet the needs of those recreational users who current-ly frequent the facility.

Having multiple pools heat-ed to diff erent temperatures would provide more space for off ering diff erent programs, such as physiotherapy and les-sons, she said, adding that be-tween 1,500 and 1,800 people use the Minoru facility daily.

If you’re less than interested at the thought of borrow-ing dog-eared books, the Richmond Public Library has something that might suit you.

Last week, the library launched its new e-reader lending program, where members can borrow a Kobo eReader pre-loaded with popular titles tailored to either adults, teens or young children.

Of the 25 e-readers available, all but one have been gob-bled up, and there’s already a waiting list. There are 15 set

aside for adults, five for teens, and five for young children.“It’s been quite popular for just one week after launch,”

said Kat Lucas, co-ordinator of e-services at Richmond Public Library.

The program was introduced by popular demand, Lucas said, and it’s the youngest set who are particularly keen on reading.

The e-readers can be borrowed for up to 28 days, and come with a USB cord for charging the device.

For more information about the program, including a list of the pre-loaded content, visit www.yourlibrary.ca/ereaders.

Couns. Ken Johnston and Chak Au will run under the banner of the newly-formed Richmond Community Coalition.

At an announcement Monday afternoon in the plaza outside Richmond Cultural Centre, Syl-via Gwozd, candidate chair of the coalition, introduced the veteran politicians as the group’s fi rst candidates.

“There is one area that I’d like to see improved and that drew me to the coalition,” Johnston said. “Civic engagement and voter turnout. It’s been a disap-pointment.”

Richmond’s voter turnout reached a low of 22.1 per cent in 2008, with just 27,709 residents casting a ballot. In 2011, that number jumped modestly to 23.7 per cent, with 31,126 bal-lots cast.

Johnston, formerly with Richmond First, said he’d like to see better engagement with resi-dents between elections as well.

“We’ve already had one town hall meeting.

There’s another town hall meeting directed to-wards youth who are really the future of this city, and there will be other town hall meetings.”

Au said he joined the coalition because he also wants better engagement with the public.

Originally from Hong Kong, Au said he holds a degree in so-cial working and a doctorate in counselling, which means he’s a good listener.

“In a way I was trained to lis-ten, because that ‘s my job,” he said. “Listening to other people is part of my nature. I think this is very important for a community like Richmond, where we have people coming from all over the world...coming with diff erent ex-periences and lifestyles.”

Au won his fi rst council term in 2011 with the Richmond In-dependent Team of Electors, or RITE—a banner he also ran under for four terms on school board.

According to organizers, the Richmond Community Coalition is vetting prospective candidates before endorsing them, requir-ing them to fi ll out and sign a 40-page document as well as complete an interview process.

As other candidates surface who meet its cri-teria, the coalition will announce support for them. That could occur in the next few weeks, according to Gwozd.

IKEA bargained in bad faith, says labour boardOrders firm to cease bargaining directly with workers, and to put an end to paying premiums to workers who crossed picket line


The Labour Relations Board has ordered furniture-making giant IKEA to compensate the union representing striking workers for breaching two sections of the Labour Relations Code.

In a ruling released Thursday, Bruce R. Wilkins, associate chair of adjudication for the board, found that IKEA representatives tried to entice workers to cross the picket line with promises of pay premiums above and be-yond what was offered to the union during rounds of collec-tive bargaining talks.

In allegations made by Team-sters Local Union No. 213 that were not disputed by IKEA, em-ployees on the picket line were “actively approached” by Su-zanne Harrison, deputy Human Resource manager for IKEA Can-ada, and Madeline Lowenberg-Frick, spokesperson for IKEA Canada on May 14, 2014. Harri-son and Lowenberg-Frick hand-ed out copies of the Frequently Asked Questions section of the company’s website (richmond-coworkers.ca) that contained new information posted that same day, the ruling said.

That included:•an automatic five per cent

wage increase and $500 bonus;•a $2.50 hourly premium for all

hours worked “while the strike is ongoing.”

The last proposal by the com-pany contained a three-per-cent

annual wage increase.The union also alleged Harrison

confirmed during the discussion that the web posting was a new offer, and that Harrison said no worker in Canada had ever been fired for crossing a picket line, though IKEA denied these state-ments were made.

Wilkins found that IKEA vio-lated the Labour Relations Code through its web posting.

“When it posted the web post-ing, however, the employer un-dermined the union and its ex-clusive bargaining agency under the code. At that point, the em-ployer no longer met either the objective or subjective elements of the requirement to bargain in good faith...”

And by offering a wage in-crease greater than what it of-fered the union, the board found IKEA was “inducing the employ-er’s employees to refrain from becoming or continuing to be a member of a trade union.”

Wilkins ordered IKEA “pay to the union the amount equiva-lent to all monies paid to bar-gaining unit employees from the beginning of the labour dis-pute which are in excess of the pay the employer was willing to agree to with the union in collec-tive bargaining.”

IKEA was also ordered to cease contravening the labour code, cease bargaining terms and con-ditions of employment directly with employees, and declare the terms and conditions offered to employees in the web posting in

excess of what was offered to the union at the bargaining table as null and void.

It’s unclear how much the rul-ing might cost IKEA, which is appealing the decision to the board.

Anita Dawson, business rep for Teamsters 213, said another ap-plication to the labour board re-volves around the 35 IKEA work-ers who crossed the picket line and returned to work.

The union claims that IKEA is not returning to the bargaining table until the issue of the future of those 35 workers is resolved.

The union wants this issue set aside and handled separately, Dawson said, while negotiations resume. Dawson said the union is amenable to having those 35 employees work at IKEA’s non-union site or having them pro-moted to management.

Madeleine Lowenberg-Frick said the premiums offered to those employees who crossed the picket line were only paid to fairly compensate those employ-ees for the new work they were tackling.

“They are meeting these cus-tomers with a reduced workforce and are learning new skills and working in new areas. Many are performing functions that are higher paid roles with a higher level of responsibility from their usual jobs,” Lowenberg-Frick said.

IKEA workers have been on strike since May 13, 2013, ap-proaching 15 months.

Johnston, Au join new political slate

Martin van den Hemel photoCouns. Chak Au and Ken Johnston speak at a press conference Monday.

From Page 1Discussions about the re-

placement facility have been in the works since 2007, she said, and lots of thought has been put into it.

Coun. Ken Johnston said the city listened to community in-put in reaching its decision to build a 25-metre pool instead.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said building a 50-metre pool that’s more suited to host-ing competitions in the down-town core isn’t a wise idea.

He noted that Watermania, for which the city still has a lease eff ective until 2027, has a 50-metre competition-friendly pool and plenty of parking for users.

Brodie said enlarging the foot-print of the facility to accom-modate both the longer pool and the other pools would have come at the sacrifi ce of other park space.

“It’s important that we maxi-mize our use of space,” he said. “We don’t want to extend the building signifi cantly.”

The proposed new facility will provide one-third more water space in a better-designed fa-cility, Brodie added.

Since commercial production of wine or cider is allowed on farmland, why not a brewery, distillery or meadery?

Should energy co-generation be allowed on farms, using manure or other biodegradable waste to produce methane gas and carbon dioxide?

These are some of the questions in-cluded in the B.C. government’s con-sultation on changes to Agricultural Land Reserve regulations, released this week. Others deal with controver-sial proposals to allow specifi ed non-farm uses, secondary residences and subdivisions without permission from the Agricultural Land Commission.

Developed after consultation with the B.C. Agriculture Council, local governments and the commission, the 11 questions off er more detail on changes the government is consider-ing under legislation passed despite protests this spring.

The legislation divided the ALR into two zones, to permit more fl exibility in the Interior, Kootenay and North re-gions (Zone 2) where both agriculture revenue and development pressure

are lower.Another proposal is to allow subdi-

vision without ALC approval where farmland is divided by a major water-way or highway, subject to a minimum size.

The province is also considering relaxing lease rules, which currently permit leasing of an entire farm prop-erty without ALC approval. The con-sultation asks if a portion of property should be allowed for lease to permit “intergenerational transfer,” where farmers retire on a portion of their land so their children can continue to farm the rest.

Another proposal for partial lease without ALC approval would allow unfarmed land to be brought into pro-duction. The partial leases would not require a formal subdivision.

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has emphasized that changes to the ALR are designed to support farming, not erode the protected agricultural land base.

Public input is being accepted until Aug. 22. The questions and a back-ground paper are available online at engage.gov.bc.ca, where submissions can be made.

Consultation sheds light on farmland changes

The battle against gangs in B.C. has made big advances but now is not the time to relax, a top B.C. Mountie told a conference on youth gang prevention.

RCMP Chief Supt. Dan Malo said last Thursday he believes redoubled community efforts and new policing tactics can further dent orga-nized crime and pre-vent a resurgence of the gangland blood-bath of five years ago.

“We’re down in the statistics,” Malo told delegates in Surrey at the Acting Together gang prevention con-ference organized by Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

“A number of [gang-sters] are in jail, a num-ber of them are dead, a number of them have changed their behav-iour and others we have forced to change their behaviour.”

There have been just three gang-linked mur-ders in B.C. so far this year, way down from 2007 to 2009, when the annual death toll ran as high as 36.

Malo said it’s becom-ing clear a police strat-egy of pressuring pro-lific gangsters to make life uncomfortable and rob them of their power and influence is helping.

He said it’s also clear earlier enforcement in B.C. failed because gang members “weren’t being touched” while they spent lavishly and developed the attitude they were “superstars” who could kill at will.

“In the ‘90s and the 2000s we let people people like [gangster] Bindy Johal run crazy. We let the United Na-tions Gang and the In-dependent Soldiers run around with hoodies on that said they were all that.”

Youth in B.C. cities were recruited and sucked into the vortex of violence.

“Many of these young kids went from street level bullying to drug trafficking to extortion to contract killing in a matter of a few years,

when traditional orga-nized crime takes de-cades to do that.”

Past policing suc-cess was measured too much by the number of bad guys jailed or kilograms of cocaine seized, Malo said, and focused heavily on taking out top crime kingpins.

Today, he said, more effort aims to change attitudes and behav-iours.

“It needs to become part of the fabric of British Columbia that this kind of behaviour is not tolerated. We take our young kids, we turn them into su-perstars in our commu-nities—not gangsters.”

The new endganglife.ca campaign of B.C.’s anti-gang police unit plays on emotions of gangsters with imag-ery of loved ones left behind after they’re dead.

Malo said it worked on one ex-Lower Main-land gangster, who re-cently agreed to exit the life rather imagine his child having to bury him.

The biggest chal-lenge was answering the man’s question of what he would do now to keep earning $6,000 a day.

Malo said officers arranged for the ex-gangster to enter a training program for a job that will pay well.

“If they choose to exit that lifestyle, we’re go-ing to help them do that,” he told delegates. “We’re going to support them because they’re going to change their behaviour.”

Community groups can play a huge role in helping build strong character in youth and “give them role models that are not Jamie Ba-con.”

Malo also wants to put pressure on others who profit from gang activity.

“We have to lean on businesses that take straight cash for vehi-cles,” he said.

“We know car rental places that make all their money from rent-ing cars to gangsters. We need to work with them maybe tell them

that’s not the right side of the community they need to be in.”

While there have been signs of success—Malo also counts the dou-bling in the price of co-caine in the past couple of years to $60,000 a kilogram, indicating a crimp in supply—there

are also trouble spots.Heroin overdoses

have spiked in the last six months, he said.

And too many B.C. criminals remain influ-ential players in the in-ternational drug trade.

“Now is not the time to take our foot off the gas.”

Anti-gang tactics are working, RCMP saysKillings down but officer wants to keep pressure on

“It needs to become part of the fabric of British Columbia that this kind of behaviour is not tolerated. We take our young kids, we turn them into super-stars in our com-munities—not gangsters.”— Dan Malo

Ottawa follows B.C.’s treaty ‘stepping stones’ Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development

Minister Bernard Valcourt announces shift in federal policy

by Tom FletcherBlack Press

The federal government has responded to the strengthening of aboriginal title in B.C. by fol-lowing the province’s lead and focusing on resource use agree-ments rather than full-scale trea-ties that have been slow and ex-pensive to negotiate.

A shift in federal policy was an-nounced Monday by Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Develop-ment Minister Bernard Valcourt, endorsing non-treaty and incre-mental treaty agreements such as B.C. has focused on in recent years.

Valcourt also appointed Van-couver lawyer Doug Eyford as a special advisor, to follow up on his advice to Ottawa last fall on developing West Coast oil and gas export projects.

B.C. Aboriginal Relations Min-ister John Rustad welcomed the change in federal approach, de-scribing resource agreements as “stepping stones to reconcili-ation.

“We had been hoping the fed-eral government would come to the table with things like our

non-treaty agreements and our incremental approach to treaty for quite a few years,” Rustad said in an interview Tuesday. “That has been something they’ve re-sisted, but now they’re going to come to the table with that, and we welcome that.”

B.C. recently signed its first liquefied natural gas resource sharing agreement for facilities proposed near Prince Rupert. On July 11, B.C. reached its 150th forest resource sharing agree-ment with the Seabird Island Band in the Fraser Valley, and has developed similar revenue deals for mining and hydroelec-tric projects.

Ottawa is also promising to restart fisheries talks that have been on hold since the Cohen Commission reported in 2012 on the health of Fraser River sockeye salmon runs. The B.C. Treaty Commission has protest-ed for years that Ottawa’s foot-dragging has contributed to the slow pace of talks, with only four treaties completed since the three-way structure was set up in 1992.

Chief Commissioner Sophie Pierre has warned of over-em-

phasis on resource agreements, with Ottawa and B.C. focused on northern B.C. pipeline and energy projects. Rustad said there are resource projects all over the province that can ben-efit, adding there will be new agreements announced in the near future.

Valcourt’s announcement mirrors the main recommen-dations of Eyford’s report last fall. It called for “targeted ef-forts to build effective relation-ships, including refinements to Canada’s current approach to consultation and engagement, to explore mutually beneficial initiatives that support recon-ciliation, and to encourage ab-original communities to resolve shared territory issues.”

Rustad said Ottawa is moving on Eyford’s recommendations, not in response to the landmark aboriginal title case decided in favour of the Tsilhqot’in Nation in June.

The Supreme Court of Canada upheld Tsilhqot’in title to the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake, striking down provincial logging permits issued without aboriginal consent.

opinion

A recent column on the B.C. gov-ernment’s deci-

sion to raise speed limits on portions of rural highways excit-ed numerous com-ments from readers.

Some questioned my suggestion that today’s new drivers are worse because they spend their formative years staring at screens in the back seat instead of looking out the window and grasping the grim physics of the real world.

There is no doubt that B.C.’s graduated licensing system for new drivers is more diffi cult than what my generation faced. Those vehicle stickers with the “L” (for learner, or as teens prefer “loser”) and “N” (for novice, or in teen-speak “nerd”) have been around since 1998. The two steps make getting a full driver’s licence a longer, more diffi -cult and expensive process.

Statistics provided by ICBC show what new driv-ers are up against.

First there is the written “knowledge test” to obtain a learner’s permit. From 2004 to 2008, more than half of applicants failed in their fi rst attempt. Things improved in subsequent years, with a 46-per-cent failure rate in 2009 declin-

ing to 42 per cent by 2013.The fi rst road test is

required to go from “L” to “N” and it seems suffi ciently harsh. The failure rate has been consistently around 47 per cent in the past six years. More practice and another $35 are required to try again.

Students fare better on the second road test, where the failure rate has consis-tently been 21-22 per cent for the past decade.

ICBC reports that in the fi rst three years of the graduated licence program, the new driver crash rate dropped by 16 per cent. In 2003 the required learner and novice period were extended, and restrictions on the novice stage were increased. New driver crashes fell by another 28 per cent.

Those restrictions include the number of passengers and a “zero tolerance” for alcohol.

Impaired crash and injury statistics aren’t available for drivers in the graduated licence program, only fa-talities. They grew as more new drivers were enrolled in the new system, to a high of 24 in 2007, but that declined to 14 by 2012.

There will always be young people who drive impaired, speed or make other fatal errors. But it’s diffi cult to argue that today’s system in B.C. is lenient.

A couple of readers were concerned about the eff ect of higher rural speed limits on older drivers. One sug-gested that higher limits on rural highways are a poor mix with vacationing

seniors hauling around oversized motorhomes, trailers and boats.

Another cited the com-ing wave of retired baby boomers and added a likely increase in marijuana-im-paired drivers, all embold-ened by the invitation to drive faster.

B.C.’s medical health offi cers issued a letter denouncing the decision by Transportation Minister Todd Stone to raise speed limits. Provincial Health Offi cer Dr. Perry Kendall said the research is clear that higher speeds increase the risk and severity of incidents.

Then there is the gov-ernment’s own position, articulated in a road safety strategy released last year by Attorney General Su-zanne Anton.

“Research is conclusive that at higher speeds, more people are killed and in-jured in the traffi c system,” it states. “At lower speeds, fewer are killed and injured as a direct result of the safety buff er that lowered speeds create.”

The strategy notes that new technologies such as adaptive cruise control are becoming available. B.C. is also testing electronic highway speed limit signs that change with weather and traffi c conditions.

Next comes self-driving vehicle systems, so drivers will be able to check their phones again.

B.C. ViewsTom Fletcher

In defence of younger drivers

As we approach the middle of the sum-mer driving season,

it’s important to think about a number of issues.

One is paying close attention to what is going on around you or, as it used to be called, driving defensively.

In a day and age of widespread cellphone use, texting and driving, vehicles equipped with audio and video entertainment systems and increasing traffi c congestion on what used to be much quieter streets, paying attention to all circumstances, within and outside

your vehicle, is more important than ever.

A crash between an RCMP cruis-er and a van in Aldergrove last week could serve as an illustration. The van, which contained a family of four, had Alberta plates and it is possible the driver was not fully familiar with the intersection. While the cruiser was heading to a call and had emergency equip-ment activated, it is possible the driver simply did not see or hear the police vehicle.

Kal Tire has issued a press release noting an often-overlooked summer driving issue—regular checks of tires. In particular, the

B.C.-based tire fi rm notes the importance of being fully aware of issues with RV and trailer tires, something that is often over-looked.

“Drivers need to be checking their tires regularly. Just a few simple maintenance steps, before you leave and during your trip, can really reduce your risk of hav-ing your holiday interrupted by tire failure,” says Carey Hull, direc-tor of retail products, Kal Tire.

Passenger vehicle tires are not meant for many trailers. While RVs can be equipped with light truck tires, most trailers require special trailer tires, built to have stiff er,

heavy duty sidewalls to accom-modate heavy loads and track straight to reduce bounce and sway problems.

Kal Tire emphasizes the impor-tance of regularly checking tire pressure and also ensuring that RVs and trailers are not over-loaded. This is equally true for all vehicles.

The coming B.C. Day long week-end is often the busiest of the year for vacation travel. Ensuring that your vehicle is safely equipped for travel, and paying close attention to other drivers, will make for a safer trip.

Editor:The Massey Tunnel

replacement project should have not been “endorsed” by Richmond council on June 26 for the following reasons.

Tolls to use a new bridge could hurt the economy in Richmond, possible relocation of traffi c congestion, information about the project has not been made available, staff concerns have not been addressed, the toll has not been determined and public consultation has not been satisfac-tory.

In a report, staff state concerns that a new bridge could move the congestion from the tunnel to the south end of the Oak Street Bridge, and we are still waiting to see how the minister of transportation will tackle that issue.

Staff also report that a new interchange for Blundell Road has been part of the Offi cial Com-munity Plan since 1999, and they expect it to be part of the new bridge proposal. The Blundell area residents have a strong opposition to an interchange and their concerns must be ad-dressed.

Port Metro Vancouver also states in a letter that it encourages the minis-try to explore the option of an interchange at Blundell to allow for a better trucking route. We do not know how this could aff ect the quality of life for people living in the area.

City staff also indicate that the bridge would likely be tolled, and they have concerns about the tolling methods used by the province since they tend to shift traffi c to crossings that are free to use, such as the Alex Fraser Bridge.

Staff also say that they want clarifi cation of the travel numbers since the ministry claims that 50 per cent of tunnel traffi c is destined for Richmond. This number seems unrealistic. Staff also say that the new bridge will likely allow for eight to 10 lanes. Clarifi cation is needed on how those lanes will be used because that information could help with rapid transit or impede it.

The tunnel could be saved and improved at great cost savings to taxpayers. Simply limit-ing truck traffi c during the day would alleviate enough traffi c to reduce

the gridlock. The biggest concern

for me is that Port Metro Vancouver argues the Fraser River is as sig-nifi cant to the Canadian economy as the Saint Lawrence Seaway. In my opinion, following in the footsteps of that busi-ness model is not some-thing I can support.

While it is important to have economic growth, I feel ultimately the new bridge would result in industrial-

izing both sides of the Fraser, threatening the most important salmon run in the world along with threatening the very successful tourism industry in Steveston.

While I understand quickly pushing this contentious agenda item through, during the typical vacation season for most people in Richmond, may seem expedient ,it will likely have a backlash eff ect.

With the provincial

government demon-strating that this is an incomplete project with no plans in place for how it will pay for this iconic bridge, I believe it would make more sense to the average taxpayer to delay support and instead take a wait-and-see approach before endorsing a plan that would forever change the landscape of Rich-mond.

lettersWelcome to the family of vacant high-rises, VancouverEditor:

With the announcement that the new Vancouver House twisty condo tower is being marketed in Asia before being made available to local buyers, and that it is likely that 50 per cent or more of the units will be owned by off-shore investors and will therefore probably remain permanently unoccupied, perhaps we Richmondites should send a “Welcome to the family” card to the citi-zens of Vancouver.

And if they want to get a glimpse of the future we could also organize tours of Richmond’s numerous half-occupied high-rises.

Letter-writer stands with premier on IsraelEditor:

The chairman of Canada Palestine Association, Hanna Ka-was, said Premier Christy Clarke should not be speaking on behalf of British Columbians with regard to showing support for Israel.

Clark, in this instance, speaks loud clear for me, as I support Israel, always have and always will. It is the only democ-racy in an area completely surrounded by brutal dictator-ships that are currently slaughtering hundreds of thou-sands of their own innocent men, women and children and not a peep of protests from worldwide Muslims.

Yet when the Israelis try to defend themselves against Hamas aggression and over 1,000 innocent Palestinians are killed, some by Hamas rockets, there are many protests from Muslims.

We can be assured that if Canada was threatened, Israel, along with our other allies would come to our assistance

without question, can we say the same about the Muslim world, I am afraid not.

The people of Israel only want to live in peace and do not threaten any country, yet day after day Iran, Libya and Syria make threats to wipe the Israel off the map and not one protest from all the “peace loving Muslims.”

Metro incineration plan gets expert boostRegion urged to avoid ‘magic’ garbage sortersby Jeff NagelBlack Press

Metro Vancouver mayors say they’re confident their contro-versial strategy to incinerate more garbage for power is the right one after seeking advice from European experts.

The regional district hosted a forum July 22 that featured British and Dutch experts who

warned that cheap landfilling is the main barrier to much higher recycling rates, not incineration.

Both countries make consid-erable use of waste-to-energy plants.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the Europeans cautioned against building too much in-cineration capacity—Metro has already reduced the size of its planned new plant from 500,000

tonnes per year to 370,000.And he said the key takeaway

was not to believe the “magic” claims of proponents of mate-rial recovery facilities, which are highly automated sorting cen-tres that extract recyclables from garbage.

Belkorp Environmental wants to build a mixed-waste material recovery facility in Coquitlam.

From Page 11The fi rm argues Metro might not have to build a new

incinerator if enough paper, plastic and other recycla-bles can be extracted.

Metro’s Bylaw 280—which is still awaiting approval by the province—would allow very limited use of mixed-waste facilities to sort garbage from apart-ment buildings that don’t have adequate recycling facilities.

The bylaw has been opposed by various business groups and the Fraser Valley Regional District, which says it will embrace the facilities.

Belkorp vice-president Russ Black argues fi rms like his should get a chance to extract recyclables from garbage before it’s landfi lled or incinerated, as a fi nal pass to reduce waste.

“There’s no risk to Metro Vancouver or the public with respect to giving these things an opportunity to work,” he said.

But Moore says approving broad use of the facilities would be a step backwards, unravelling 25 years of public education to convince residents to separate their recyclables, rather than throwing everything in one garbage bin.

Black insists the real issue is Metro’s pursuit of waste-to-energy.

“Mixed-waste material recovery facilities compete with incineration. They’re after the same feedstocks.”

He also questioned the objectivity of Metro’s forum, calling the Dutch expert an advocate of incineration.

“It was just a promotion exercise,” Black said.Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer said it would have

been more prudent to also invite experts from a coun-try like Denmark, which she said has recently turned back from a heavy emphasis on incineration in pursuit of better recycling rates.

“We should be looking at a spectrum of experts,” she said.

Cihang Group to deliver courses on Chinese cultureby Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

Courses on Chinese traditional culture, history, lan-guage and medicine will be taught at Trinity Western University campuses in Richmond and Langley fol-lowing an agreement signed earlier this month with Cihang Group.

“We are excited about the opportunity to develop programs that will meet the needs of people in and around Richmond,” said TWU associate provost Philip Laird.

In the agreement on collaborative program deliv-ery, Cihang will also deliver a transition program for

international students to prepare them for the chal-lenges of post-secondary school educational life in Richmond.

“We have the competence, strength and experi-ence to make these programs successful and grow the education of Chinese culture and medicine in the Richmond community,” said Jacqueline Zeng, direc-tor of Cihang International Group Corporation.

TWU’s new Richmond campus is slated to open its doors in March of 2015, right next to the new city centre community centre.

“TWU has a strong history of collaborations with other educational experts in growing fi elds,” said TWU president Bob Kuhn.

An agreement signed July 11 between Cihang Group and Trinity Western Univer-sity will see courses on Chinese culture, history and language taught in Richmond.

Liquor price fl oor shifts for beer jugs, shotsby Jeff NagelBlack Press

The province has adjusted its new minimum prices for alco-hol in the wake of criticism over the rollout of new rules allowing “happy hour” discounts.

A new category for draft beer creates a mini-mum charge of $12 for a 60-ounce pitcher—down from $15 previously an-nounced—or $0.20 per ounce for large volumes over 50 ounces instead of $0.25, which still applies to smaller

glasses and pints.“Upon reviewing B.C.’s minimum

prices, we realized they weren’t on par with consumers’ expectations

and we took action to fi nd a fair compromise that still upholds B.C.’s high stan-dards for health and safety,” said Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap, who heads the province’s liquor policy reforms.

The new regulations let bars and restaurants charge lower prices for selective times or occasions, but forced some low-price es-

tablishments to raise prices to match

the new minimums.That will still be the case for pints in

some locales—bars that had charged less than $5 must raise their prices to that minimum for 20 ounces.

The province has also increased the minimum price for spirits from $2 to $3 per ounce.

Addictions experts had called for higher minimum pricing to reduce health and safety risks to drinkers.

Alliance of Beverage Licensees executive director Jeff Guignard supported the spirit price increase in the interests of public safety, noting a patron previously could have bought five single-ounce shots for $10.

But he said the lower minimum beer pitcher price of $12 against a minimum 20-ounce pint price of $5 may encourage over-drinking and intoxication.

“You’re more likely to start sharing pitchers than you are to buy individ-ual pints,” he said.

Provincial regulations limit a single serving of beer to 24 ounces, so pitch-ers can’t be ordered by a lone patron. But Guignard noted it’s harder for a server to track how much patrons are drinking when they’re ordering beer by pitchers instead of glasses.

The new minimums mean little for bars and restaurants that charge higher prices already.

Called a ‘fair compromise,’ but doubts linger on province’s third try at minimum pricing

NDP ‘wrong’ on university pay claims


Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk says the NDP is wrong in its claims that more B.C. universities have paid senior executives more than permitted under salary caps set by the provincial government.

The NDP obtained sal-ary cap details for three universities—Capilano University, the Univer-sity of the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island University—and said reported compensation paid to 14 executives at the schools exceeded their caps by a total of more than $1.1 million over three years.

Financial disclosures show the three uni-versities paid their presidents between $230,000 and $245,000 in the last year—more in each case than their $225,000 caps, accord-ing to the NDP.

“What is the point in having caps in the fi rst place if they’re basically meaningless and you’re not going to enforce them?” asked NDP ad-vanced education critic David Eby.

The Public Sector Em-ployers’ Council, which enforces the policy, has since refused to disclose pay caps for other B.C. post-secondary institu-tions, prompting the Opposition to accuse Virk of covering up fur-ther violations in the wake of a recent probe of overpayments at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

But in a statement e-mailed by his offi ce, Virk said in a the caps on presidents’ total com-pensation do not apply to other senior post-sec-ondary executives, who are instead subject to a salary range approved by PSEC.

Those ranges don’t include additional ben-efi ts and pension, which he said the NDP mistak-enly counted in its cal-culations, adding about 20 per cent.

Virk also said to-tal compensation for presidents can fl uctu-ate year to year due to higher benefi t and pen-sion costs beyond the employer’s control, and due to one-time pay-ments such as unused vacation payouts.

“The critic’s misinter-

pretation is intended to make it appear that these individuals are being paid outside the compensation they should be paid,” he said.

Virk said institution board chairs have given signed confi rmations that that executive com-pensation was paid out

in line with approved plans.

Virk previously faced calls to resign for his role before being elect-

ed MLA as a director on the board of Kwantlen, where an investigation found extra $50,000 signing bonuses under the guise of consult-ing fees were made to the president and vice-president to circumvent their pay caps.

Virk has admitted he

erred in agreeing to the payments in 2010-12, saying he wasn’t prop-erly informed of the rules.

Virk told Eby in a May 27 letter that the precise caps on public sector pay aren’t made public so they don’t become a negotiating fl oor on salary when governing boards are in talks to hire new executives.

Eby said continued se-crecy around pay caps gives the appearance of a minister unwilling to properly enforce rules that he himself has bro-ken.

He said the situation is a mess because some schools have observed the caps, Kwantlen sought to hide extra payments and others “blatantly” spent more.

Caps exceeded at UFV, VIU and Capilano, says David Eby

Pipeline fi rm appeals for access in ‘toxic’ dispute


Kinder Morgan Canada will ask the National Energy Board to force a resis-tant City of Burnaby to give it access to study a possible tunnel through Burnaby Mountain for its proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline.

President Ian Anderson said the company will also seek formal per-mission from Burnaby but hopes to secure an order from the NEB within

weeks if the city doesn’t relent.Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan

has indicated his city won’t cooper-ate with Kinder Morgan unless it’s forced to do so. The city would have the ability to appeal any NEB order, potentially causing further delay.

“My hope is that we can get the per-mission of the city,” Anderson said in a media conference call Friday, adding he hopes to repair what has become a “toxic relationship” with Burnaby as quickly as possible.

The company wants to conduct test drilling into the mountain as part of environmental and geotech-nical work to assess whether either a bored tunnel or directionally drilled route is possible there that would avoid the need to run the twinned pipeline near homes to the west of the mountain to reach the Westridge Marine Terminal.

Anderson said he prefers a bored tunnel because that could let Kinder Morgan to deactivate the existing section of pipeline approaching the tanker terminal and relocate it through the mountain as well.

He said he wishes the revised route had been pursued sooner, but called

the idea of drilling through Burnaby Mountain an “engineering revelation” that came to project planners as they gained more understanding of the sensitivities along the original route.

A tunnel would drive up the proj-ect’s costs, but Anderson could not say by how much.

The proposed route change un-veiled this spring prompted the NEB to this month push back a fi nal rec-ommendation on project approval by seven months to allow more time for study.

That will take it to Jan. 25, 2016—past the next federal election—but Anderson said he did not expect the delay to threaten the project.

“I don’t consider the election cycle to be a determinant of the national interest on a project such as ours,” he said, adding the proposed $5.4-bil-lion pipeline would be buff eted by politics regardless.

Anderson said there’s no risk that the delay could unravel the project’s fi nances or allow oil shippers who have contracted with the expanded pipeline to back out of their commit-ments.

The company has been under fi re from intervenors—including the provincial government and Lower Mainland regional districts—for fail-ing to adequately answer numerous questions they have posed.

Kinder Morgan will ask the National Energy Board for order if necessary

BCLC must pay jackpots to some banned gamblers Court ruling on denied prize payouts limited to 14-month period


A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled some problem gamblers who had themselves banned from B.C. casinos but managed to keep play-ing are owed jackpots that were withheld by the B.C. Lottery Corp.

The ruling in the class action lawsuit applies only to jackpots over $10,000 that were won but not paid out be-tween April 2009 and June 2010, because jackpot entitlement rules were not validly enacted during that period.

Justice John Savage ruled the BCLC had “no authority to withhold jackpot prizes” at that time.

The rules were clari-fied in 2010 when the province amended its Gaming Control Act, and self-excluded gam-blers who were refused big payouts after that are out of luck.

The case was led by two problem gamblers on behalf of numerous others who enrolled in the voluntary self-exclusion program yet still lost large amounts at casinos.

Hamidreza Haghdust was denied jackpots totaling $35,000 at casinos in Coquitlam and Vancouver and Mi-chael Lee was refused a payout of more than $42,000 at a commu-nity gaming centre in Duncan.

The plaintiffs argued the large prizes should not have been confis-cated because BCLC failed to keep them out of the casinos under

the self-exclusion pro-gram and was therefore in breach of contract.

The judge did find BCLC was in breach of contract, noting that although Haghdust and Lee knew they were breaking the rules by re-entering casinos to gamble while banned, the lottery corporation was not blameless.

“BCLC is a large quasi-corporate entity with a total monopoly over the provision of the very thing with which the plaintiff class strug-gle,” the judgment says.

“Gamblers are ferried to its facilities and re-ceive loyalty rewards. BCLC is undoubtedly in

a more powerful posi-tion.”

BCLC said in a state-ment it will work with lawyers for the plain-tiffs to return jackpots to those who are eli-gible.

“Overall, the decision validates BCLC’s ability to withhold jackpots as a deterrent for those who are voluntary self-excluded and that the program is being operated effectively,” the Crown corporation said.

It’s not known how many gamblers may now be paid their five-year-old winnings.

Lawyers behind the case initially said they were trying to recoup 427 jackpots worth to-tal of up to $1.5 million, but only some of those prizes were withheld

during the initial 14 months after the BCLC introduced its denial of winnings policy in 2009.

While Haghdust was denied big jackpots when he managed to re-enter casinos, he also incurred $200,000 in losses since entering the self-exclusion pro-gram in 2006.

More than 8,400 B.C. residents are enrolled in the voluntary self-exclusion program and participants are de-nied entry or removed from casinos about 700 times each month.

An earlier court rul-ing found BCLC did not owe damages to a North Delta woman who entered casinos in Surrey and Langley while excluded and lost $78,000.

Mills get break to save energyProvince unveils $100 million for struggling industry


Struggling B.C. pulp mills are be-ing off ered $100 million in energy conservation subsidies that Energy Minister Bill Bennett says will pay off through power savings and a stabilized industry.

The three-year initiative will ben-efi t seven thermo-mechanical pulp mills run by Catalyst Paper, Canfor, West Fraser and Paper Excellence, which can get 75 per cent fund-ing for energy-saving projects ap-proved under the new PowerSmart

program for industry.The companies are huge power

users, consuming 10 per cent of the electricity BC Hydro sells, and had warned rate increases of 28 per cent over the next fi ve years could threaten their operations and cost local jobs.

Eligible mills are in Crofton, Port Alberni, Powell River, Taylor, Chet-wynd, Port Mellon and Quesnel.

The industry’s challenges cast a long shadow in those towns, where pulp and paper jobs are critical to the local economy, and one of the fi rms—Catalyst—has been emerg-

ing from bankruptcy protection. Encouraging reinvestment in

power effi ciency will mean savings for the companies involved, Ben-nett said, and will reduce provincial energy demand.

“BC Hydro will not have to spend $265 million on new generation because these four companies are going to conserve that much elec-tricity,” Bennett said.

NDP energy critic Adrian Dix said the province had no other choice but to step in with aid for the in-dustry in light of the dramatic rate increases ahead.

TransLink orders probe of SkyTrain shutdowns


An independent expert review has been ordered into two major SkyTrain shutdowns this month that paralyzed the rapid transit system for more than four hours and dam-aged public confi dence.

Gary McNeil, the retired former CEO of Toronto’s GO Transit commut-er rail and bus system, was named Monday to thoroughly review TransLink’s response plan for major service disruptions and identify im-

provements to prevent a recurrence or speed up system recovery.

Dozens of SkyTrain passengers forced open the doors and walked unescorted on elevated guideways during the fi ve-hour shutdown July 21.

It was caused by a blown power breaker during upgrade work, while the previous July 17 incident was triggered by a computer control system failure.

TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis said keep-ing passengers safe during future disruptions will be a key consider-

ation in the review, because self-evacuations create more delay and risk lives.

He said TransLink has already “learned important lessons” and taken corrective steps based on its own internal review.

“These include plans for mobilizing employees more quickly, better an-nouncements on SkyTrain and a plan to provide better customer support at bus bridges,” he said.

Jarvis said McNeil will begin the review Tuesday and will fi le his fi nal report at the end of October.

McNeil was involved in the plan-ning, design, construction and start-up of the original SkyTrain Expo Line from 1982-86.

Options to be considered through McNeil’s review include changes to existing processes and investment in more backup systems.

TransLink offi cials previously sug-gested it would not be justifi able to spend perhaps $30 million on a backup SkyTrain control system that would be rarely used.

The July 21 electrical failure also knocked out SkyTrain’s public an-nouncement system, creating more fear among passengers who were then quicker to force train doors.

The address system is being put

on a separate breaker that won’t be vulnerable in another power failure that halts trains.

TransLink says it will also mobi-lize more employees faster should there be another major disruption or emergency.

It has also revised its online Trip Planner so it’s easier for SkyTrain pas-sengers to fi gure out how to take an alternate bus route.

Also pledged is an information campaign on what to do in a shut-down.

TransLink has declared transit ser-vice to be free in Metro Vancouver on B.C. Day as a gesture of apology to inconvenienced passengers and their families.

E arlier this month, the Richmond Chamber Commerce, in partnership with 12 other Chambers of Commerce and

Boards of Trade, released a report titled The Economic Importance of the Lower Fraser River.

The report was commissioned by the Richmond Chamber in early 2013 and led by Dave Park, an independent economist and former Chief Economist for the Vancouver Board of Trade, and Matt Pitcairn, the Manager of Communications and Policy at the Richmond Chamber.

The report highlights the national signifi cance of the Fraser River but also examines the many threats to future sustainability and prosperity for the entire region. The scope is not focused on any specifi c municipality but rather the entire Lower Fraser River basin stretching from the Strait of Georgia to Hope.

Locally, the City of Richmond does an exemplary job of protecting our community by maintaining a 49 km dike network, 600 km of drainage mains, 39 pump stations, and 320 km of ditches/canals. Just last week the City released a 2014 fl ood protection update which includes an additional $10 million to be spent on drainage and diking improvements in the coming year, in addition to the $45 million that has been spent since 2008.

“The City of Richmond is a municipal leader in fl ood management practices but moving forward a long-term, regional approach, supported by senior levels of governments, is essential for our community, and neighbouring communities, to continue to thrive and prosper for generations to come,” said Gerard Edwards, Chair of

the Richmond Chamber of Commerce.

Without a regional, holistic management strategy, and adequate funding, the Lower Fraser River is at risk to potential economic, environmental and social disaster unless senior levels of government start dealing with the long-term management requirements. “With over 300,000 people in the fl ood plain - and another one million expected to live in the region by 2040 - the risks are too great to ignore,” said the reports principal author, Dave Park.

The Chamber led report fi nds that $50 billion in economic development along the banks of the Lower Fraser River are at risk unless all levels of government begin to address the serious issues facing the River.

The current costs just for diking upgrades for the tidal areas of the river and for adjacent coastal reaches required by 2100 are in range of $9 billion. Damage costs from a major dike failure would be signifi cant, with very serious impacts on the economy of the lower mainland, British Columbia, and all of Canada, due to the negative impact on the transportation of goods and services.

The Lower Fraser River is a vitally important resource for not just the Lower Mainland and British Columbia but Canada as a whole. It is a surprise for many Canadians to learn that port

activity on the Lower Fraser rivals Canadian traffi c on the St. Lawrence Seaway. In fact, Port Metro Vancouver is the largest port in Canada and the largest port by export tonnage in all of North America. But in addition to port activity, the Fraser River supports a myriad of other activities vital to the region and beyond, such as:❚ Soil in Fraser Valley supports some

of the most fertile agriculture in Canada and annually generates more than 62% of the province’s gross farm receipts ($1.6 billion)

❚ 9 of 10 Federal Small Craft Harbours in the region are located on the Fraser River including Steveston which hosts the largest SCH in Canada

❚ Fraser River and its tributaries offer all 5 species of Pacifi c Salmon on seven of the most productive rivers

in the provinceUltimately, the sustainability of

the Fraser River and adjacent region must be addressed in a manner which fi nds a balance between environmental, social and economic factors. The next step in the process of bringing greater awareness and attention to the risks facing the region will be a forum hosted by Lower Mainland Chamber and Boards of Trade this fall. The event will invite elected offi cials and staff from all levels of governments, First Nations and representatives of major stakeholder organizations to explore in greater detail the fi ndings of the Richmond Chamber led report, and how to best act upon them.

For more information, those interested in reading the full report can access it via: http://ow.ly/z9yhN

Steveston, located at the mouth of the Fraser River, is home to the largest Small Craft Harbour in Canada.

P hysio2U Mobile Physiotherapy Services is a

company, founded by Richmond born and bred sisters, Kim and Tammy Hall.

After establishing her career at Vancouver Coastal Health and gaining extensive experience in acute care, orthopaedics and stroke recovery while working at Richmond Hospital, Kim recognized a gap in provision of in-home, private rehabilitation services. To help fi ll the void, she created Physio2U in early 2012. Since then, and with Tammy’s business background as a Chartered Professional Accountant, Physio2U has experienced exponential growth; the team now includes serveral experienced Registered Physiotherapists providing comprehensive physiotherapy services in the comfort of one’s home, retirement residence, hospital, or aquatic facility. Physio2U’s dynamic team allows it to service clients across the Lower Mainland, from West Vancouver to Langley.

Physio2U’s clients’ needs range from those who are busy professionals who’s time is too valuable to be spent navigating traffi c, fi nding parking,

and waiting at a busy clinic, to those who are recovering after a stroke, or joint-replacement surgery and simply cannot make the trip

to a clinic, or rely on friends and family for transportation. Treatment is often initiated when clients are still recovering in-hospital, and then continues at home once the client has been discharged. As accidents, strokes, and falls are unpredictable, the Physio2U team is also able to provide resources to clients and their family members for long-term help and solutions. In addition, to help cover the cost of private therapy, Physio2U is able to liase directly with third party providers such as WorkSafe BC and Veterans Affairs Canada.

Unique characteristics of Physio2U services include one hour, one-on-one therapy sessions with a focus on relationship-centered care. The Physio2U team of outstanding physiotherapists have earned a reputation of being professional, skilled, as well as friendly and compassionate, allowing Physio2U to carry out its core purpose of Empowering Lives.

Tingle, Chan honoured with Order of B.C.


Two Richmond residents were among 23 exceptional civic leaders who were recently presented with the Order of Brit-ish Columbia at Government House.

Aubrey J. Tingle, a researcher in pediatric immunology and viral infections at B.C. Children’s Hospital, and Tung Chan, former CEO of SUCCESS, the Chinese Community Enrichment Services Society, were honoured for their contributions to the community in an investiture ceremony on July 22.

Tingle has earned an international reputation for his work, which has transformed health research in B.C. over the past 20 years.

Tingle played a critical role in the creation of the Michael

Smith Foundation for Health Research, which he headed for most of its fi rst decade.

He also founded and led the B.C. Research Institute for Children’s and Women’s Health (now known as the Child and Family Research Institute), which became the biggest and most successful pediatric health research institute in Western Canada.

Tung Chan came to Canada from Hong Kong at the age of 22, struggled to learn English, and waited on tables to put himself through school.

He built a successful career in banking and has given back to the community as a volunteer, philanthropist and com-munity leader.

As one of the fi rst people of Chinese descent to be elect-ed to Vancouver city council, Chan inspired new Canadians to exercise their right to vote.

The former head of SUCCESS, Chan increased its annual budget from $16 million to $35 million while expanding its services to other countries.

Families celebrated the writing and art-work of the famous children’s author Dr. Seuss at Richmond Public Library and Richmond Arts Centre last week.

Children enjoyed Se-uss-themed programs at Brighouse library, including Seuss Sto-rytimes and reading buddies and Seuss arts programs.

The library was deco-rated with huge Seuss houses, Truffula trees and artwork based on Dr. Seuss books—all made by children.

The climax of the week was Thursday, which included the Se-usstastic art program, Seuss Family Read Along and Puppet Show, with Mayor Mal-colm Brodie as a guest reader.

Children made Cat in the Hat hats, watched a Green Eggs and Ham puppet show and lis-tened as Brodie read Oh, the Places You’ll Go.

The Seuss parade capped the event, with children following a decorated book cart around the main floor of the library, waving flags and wearing their Cat in the Hat hats.

“It has been wonder-ful seeing families ex-cited about literature and art. Some children mentioned that they had made it a goal to borrow and read all the Dr. Seuss books from the library,” said Melanie Au, head of Kids’ Place at Richmond Public Library.

“This is what we want to work towards—building literacy in the community through developing a deep ap-preciation of literature.”

Approximately 85 people attended the mayor’s reading, and about 200 people participated in events throughout the day.

Clockwise, from top left: Mayor Malcolm Brodie reads from the Dr. Seuss book Oh, the Places You’ll Go during a week of Seuss-themed programs at Richmond Public Library and Richmond Arts Centre; a participant holds the popular Dr. Seuss title Green Eggs and Ham; and children paint a cardboard Seuss house.

Holly McNarland plays benefi t concert in Stevestonby Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Canadian singer-songwriter Holly McNarland will perform at the Buck and Ear Bar and Grill next week as a fundraiser for the Steveston Historical Society.

The Toronto-based McNarland, who has a Juno Award and gold and platinum albums under her belt, has been recently writing for other artists and compos-ing her own songs after a break

from performing.She arrived on the music

scene in 1995. Her second album—her major label debut Stuff—earned her a Juno for Best New Solo Artist, and led her on a tour across North America.

The Metis mother of two is now happily an independent artist.

“I love the way things have changed. I don’t want to be signed,” she says on her website.

“I like calling the shots and I’m not really comfortable being told what to do, what to wear, what I can and can’t say in the press.”

Her Steveston concert is Satur-day, Aug. 9. Tickets, $25, include a burger and beer. Dinner starts at 6:30 p.m., show at 8 p.m.

All proceeds go to the Ste-veston Historical Society. Tick-ets available at the Buck and Ear (12111 3rd Ave.) or by calling 604-781-9266. Singer-songwriter Holly McNarland is now an independent Canadian artist.

The night will include cocktails, a buff et din-ner, dancing, a silent auction, a 50/50 draw, and door prizes.

Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue comprise about 1,000 highly-trained members who pro-vide around-the-clock marine search and rescue services for B.C.’s coastal waters, every day of the year.

Many stations, includ-ing Richmond’s, have successfully raised funds to purchase and maintain their own search-and-rescue vessels.

Sitting next to Van-couver International Airport, Station 10 plays an integral part in the airport’s emergen-cy plan, while also par-ticipating in disaster response plans in the event of an earthquake or fl ood.

Station 10 was origi-nally known as Unit 7 and was funded by the Steveston Marine Rescue Society when it was founded in 1988 and based in Ste-veston.

One of Richmond’s most decorated young fenc-ers has been selected for one of the highest hon-ours that can be bestowed on an athlete.

Dylan French will be Canada’s fl ag bearer at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games Aug. 16 to 28 in Nan-jing, China.

“It’s a great honour and I am very proud to be rep-resenting my country at the Youth Olympics,” says French, 17. “When I was younger I would always watch the Olympics and the opening ceremonies, so it is exciting to get this opportunity.”

A member of the locally-based Dynamo Fencing

Club, French, 17, has already compiled an impres-sive list of athletic accomplishments. But he says this achievement is unique.

“I’m not only representing Canada at an Olympic Games, which has always been one of my ambi-tions, but carrying the fl ag as well which I never dreamed of. I can’t wait to get to China to meet the rest of the Canadian athletes.”

Richmond’s only athlete to be named to the Canada team, French will be accompa-nied to the Games by his Dynamo Fencing Club mentor Victor Gantsevich, who has been selected to the Canadian coaching team.

sportsFencer Dylan French selected to be fl ag bearerfor 2014 Youth Olympic GamesFrom Page 36

The 2014 world cadet fencing bronze medallist, French will be competing in men’s epee at the Games, and possibly the team event as well. He knows the competition will be tough, but hopes to at least medal.

French’s parents are naturally elated for their son.

“It is wonderful to see Dylan get this opportunity,” says John French. “We are always amazed by his dedication, com-mitment and hard work and it is nice to see this recognized. We are lucky that he has a great coach in Victor (Gantsevich) and a great training environment here in Richmond.”

By coincidence, John French happens

to be president of the B.C. Fencing As-sociation and says having one of its ath-letes as Canada’s fl ag bearer is a “huge” boost to the sport.

“A lot of people have put a lot of eff ort into fencing over the past few years, and we are starting to see an increase in both participation and in athletes winning medals at major events,” he says. “This will help promote the sport even more and hopefully encourage other people to give fencing a try.”

Igor Gantsevich, Victor’s son and for-merly an elite-level Canadian fencer be-fore injuries derailed his Olympic dreams, says having a fencer carry Canada’s co-lours can only be good for the sport.

“It means a lot for our future genera-

tion of athletes. It shows that anything is possible with hard work. Dylan is just as talented as any other kid we have ever had. He is and was ready to work much harder than any other kid,” says Igor, who is now an associate coach at Dynamo Fencing Club and a member of both the Pan American and Canadian Fencing Federation boards.

At the London Olympic Summer Games in 2012, one of Igor’s friends—Mariel Zagunis—was the fl ag bearer for the U.S. team. He believes that helped precipitate a huge growth in fencing in that country.

“We hope that this honour will have similar impact in Canada and locally in Richmond,” he says.

Th e academy is also strongly connected to the Richmond community, and is always seeking ways to give back.In September of 2014 Pythagoras Academy will take its commitment to the arts and to the local community to another level: the school will partner up with three of the best fi ne and performing art institutions in Vancouver in order to provide superb programs to both Pythagoras Academy students as well as children in the city of Richmond.Th e Aft er School Music Program will be off ered by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra School of Music, the only

music school in North America founded by a major symphony orchestra. In this exclusive collaboration, Pythagoras Academy will aff ord students of all ages the opportunity to work directly with professional musicians and top-level educators in the fi elds of classical, jazz and world music. Students will be able to interact with the orchestra by sitting on the stage with the VSO during rehearsals, and working directly with world-class guest artists who perform with the orchestra. Most importantly, the students will get the opportunity to be a part of a musical community that celebrates excellence and achievement. As part of this newly enhanced arts education platform, Goh Ballet Dance Academy, an internationally renowned dance school whose students continually receive enormous worldwide recognition, will off er a special dance curriculum at Pythagoras Academy. By participating in this program,

children will have the opportunity to study dance with instructors that are certifi ed by the Royal Academy of Dance.

No. 1 inNanaimo

Primarily made up of Richmond athletes and coaches, the Fraser River Delta 4 boys’ softball team won gold at the recent B.C. Summer Games.

A team almost exclusively made of Richmond ath-letes and coaches reached the top of the podium at the recent B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo.

With the addition of Delta’s Evan Willis, the Fraser River Delta Zone 4 boys’ fastball team won gold med-als at the Games, edging the favoured Fraser Valley team 7-6 in the championship fi nal.

“The golden moment for the coaches was seeing a group of boys grow into young men, who played with complete support and respect for each other. They put themselves into the record books as the only Zone 4 boys’ fastball team to medal, let alone win the BC Sum-mer Games,” said head coach Bill Merrell.

Indigenous Games yield golden memories

U16 girls’ softball at

the 2014 North

American Indigenous Games last

Don Fennell photo


Winding their way home Monday from the 2014 North American Indigenous Games that wrapped up last weekend in Regina, one Richmond family was partic-ularly grateful for the lifetime of memo-ries packed into the seven-day sports festival.

Kevin and Jerrie-Lynn Morrison had just experienced the pride that comes with watching their daughter play a key role in her Team B.C. under-16 girls’ softball

club win gold Sunday with a thrilling 6-5 fi nal-game victory over Team Saskatch-ewan. But it was more than just seeing Annie realize her goal that made these Games special.

It was more than just another ball tournament for our daughter. The North American Indigenous Games was really a unique experience for everyone,” said Jerrie-Lynn. “It was like going to a giant powwow with all the diff erent First Nation and Native American multi-generational families gathered there in one place.”

From Page 40“There were babies in arms, tod-

dlers and little kids running around, and proud aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmas and grandpas in the stands watching with parents and siblings. But instead of watching dancers and drummers compete we were watch-ing athletes compete,” said Jerrie-Lynn.

The Games were a “wonderful Olym-pic-like experience for youth,” she said. The organizers put on an im-pressive opening ceremonies and the athletes had plenty of opportunity to meet other athletes from across B.C., Canada and the U.S.

Said Annie: “My favourite part of the

Games was getting to meet people from different parts of North Amer-ica.”

On the field, Annie, just 14, showed her great athleticism by playing cen-trefield in a defensive role instead of her usual positions of first base and pitcher with the Richmond Islanders. She made a spectacular diving catch in B.C.’s 9-1 opening-game victory over Saskatchewan on July 23.

Offensively, Annie was the lead-off hitter for B.C.

“(Coach Joni Frei) said I could slap bunt from the left side to get on base. And if runners were on base I had to hit from the right side to move them over or hit them in,” explained Annie.

In addition to the U16 girls’ softball team’s gold, Team B.C. (500 athletes and coaches) was recognized for its sportsmanship and had the highest medal count in the Games. This is the first time Team B.C. has finished atop the Games, and in doing so becomes the first team in the history of the Games to win both the overall title and John Fletcher Spirit Award—pre-sented to the contingent that best demonstrates the spirit of team-work, fair play, respect and integrity throughout the week-long competi-tion.

B.C. competed in 13 sports and won 160 medals—63 gold, 49 silver and 48 bronze.

Morrison helps key Team B.C.’s softball success

Richmond Islanders knew they were playing against the odds at last weekend’s provincial senior A women’s fastball championship in Victoria. So their eighth-place fi nish was a satisfying result on the heels of their appear-ance in the B Division fi nal last year.

Victoria Junior Aces put an end to Richmond’s title hopes Sunday, the local team’s fourth game of the day. It followed a default win over the Kaos and a 5-2 victory over Victoria’s SVEE in elimination round play.

Only a second-year team, Richmond was automatically elevated to the A Division this year as a result of last year’s success. Their oldest player is only 23 and were a strong contender this year in the Fraser-Delta Women’s Fastball League.

From Page 38Three years ago a team of Rich-

mond boys was formed to compete in the 2012 BC Summer Games in softball. Due to a rainout of the entire fi rst day of competition, the format had to be shortened and the under-14 team ended up out of the modifi ed medal round. A once in a lifetime opportunity ended with disappointment.

But fast forward a year and it was learned that the B.C. Summer Games was changing the age group for softball to under-16. This meant most of the boys would get another chance at competing for gold.

With Dawn Stadel, and Doug Zu-kowsky as assistant coaches, along

with help from manager Janice Black, coach Merrell held tryouts in 2013. Many of the original 2012 team made the cut, along with some younger players from the Richmond Boys’ Fastball League program who had developed enough skills to play up.

The majority of the team was formed early enough to participate in 2014 regular-season play where they ended up with a 21-win, 12-loss record. The team then entered the U16 provincial championship in Clearwater July 4 to 6 and ended up silver medallists. Along the way they outscored their opponents in the round-robin and early playoff s games, 53 tp013. Merrell concluded

If they could keep up that kind of off ence, the goal of medalling in the Summer Games seemed a real possibility.

The Fraser River Delta Zone 4 team started slowly in their fi rst game against Zone 5 (Vancouver Island) on July 18, but in the second inning No. 4 batter Frazer Black sent the fi rst pitch over the fence for a home run. That solo shot ended up inspiring the rest of the team’s bats and by the fourth inning they ended the game under a mercy rule with Zone 4 winning 12-0.

Later that day the boys were up against Fraser Valley Zone 3. Giv-ing up seven runs early, the boys battled back to within a run helped

by Trevor Merrell batting 1.000. But they ultimately lost 13-6.

Another tough 7-4 loss to Prince George Zone 8 kicked off the fol-lowing day’s schedule, setting up a must-win scenario to advance further. The team came up big to score a 3-1 victory over the Thomp-son Okanagan team, the nucleus of which formed the squad that de-feated Richmond at the provincials two weeks earlier.

One of the pivotal plays of the game was a spectacular over-the-fence catch by Adam Mogg to pre-vent a home run.

Later that evening, Matt Van Eeu-wen and Mitch Armstrong each went 4-for-4 at bat with 10 RBI’s,

Josh Mann made a perfect short hit over third base, and Dreyden Brar made a highlight reel, game-ending catch in left fi eld as Zone 4 won 12-3.

On July 20, against Fraser Valley Zone 3, came the opportunity to play for gold. Led by the inspiring leadership of Merrick Roberts, the team played loose and adhered to their game. With Evan Willis of Delta standing tall on the mound, they took an early 3-0 lead when Birk Zukowsky (batting over .500 for the weekend) cleared the bases. After Zone 3 battled back to tie the game a 6-6, Zone 4 came up with the winning run on a sacrifi ce bunt in the last inning.

Shai-Anne Davis en-tered the women’s 100 metre competition at the Commonwealth Games with high hopes, but her dreams of medalling came up shy in Monday’s semifi nals.

The Richmond athlete, who now trains in To-ronto, placed fourth in the third set of heats in a

time of 11.52 seconds, af-ter advancing to the race in 11.72 seconds Sunday.

Davis is the No. 1 ranked female sprinter in Cana-da, having set a personal best of 11.33 seconds last year in the event.

Davis is still expected to compete in two more events at the Games.

The women’s 200 me-tres, in which she set a personal best time of 23.12 seconds last year, is

up next. Heats, semifi nals and fi nals are slated to go Wednesday.

Davis is also scheduled to compete in the wom-en’s four-by-100-metre relay which goes this coming Friday and Sat-urday, Aug. 1 and 2. She was part of a Canadian record performance of 42.99 seconds last year.

Nathan Hirayama has always put his heart and soul into playing rugby. His per-formance last weekend at the 2014 Com-monwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland was no exception.

After high hopes among Canada’s rugby sevens were dashed rather quickly follow-ing a pair of early losses to powerhouse New Zealand, 39-0 in their opening match Saturday, and to host Scotland, 21-5 later in the day, Hirayama and his mates set about to do the best they could with the remainder of their schedule.

Cast to a different bracket after the set-backs, Canada reeled off four impressive wins in a row to net the bowl champion-ship Sunday with a 50-7 final-game vic-tory over the Cook Islands and finish in ninth place overall.

Richmond’s Hirayama was instrumen-tal in each of the victories. He scored 17 points on a try and six converts to power Canada to its first tournament win, 68-5 over Barbados on Saturday. Then on Sun-day, he had 11 points from a try and three converts in a 33-0 win over Trinidad in bowl quarter-final play; converted a sin-gle try in a 32-0 semifinal win over Ugan-da; and then had six points from three converts in the win over Cook Islands.

Prior to attending the Games, Hirayama, 26, had said the team was hoping for a medal after Canada’s sixth-place finish on the international sevens circuit. But he anticipated the going would be tough in Glasgow, expecting particularly challeng-ing matches with the likes of New Zealand and even Scotland playing in front of an anxious home crowd.

Coming off an injury-plagued season, Hirayama proved he still has plenty to of-fer.

“I’m really proud to have played for Can-ada for eight years now and I still think I have a few left,” he said. “I’m definitely now one of the more experienced guys on the team and it’s something I take pride in. I want to be one of the leaders.”

Though he comes by his talent natu-rally—his dad Garry played for Canada in the 1980s—Hirayama has never walked in anyone’s shadow. He was just 18 years old when he first suited up for Canada inter-nationally and has always demonstrated an insatiable appetite to succeed.

“I don’t feel any pressure to live up to anything,” he says. “My mom and dad have always supported me in sport and I’m very thankful for that. They’ve never cared one way or another what sport I was involved in just as long as I was active. I’m proud of my own accomplishments and I think they are too.”

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.

Your Kontinent Film & Media Arts Festival’s Digital Carnival

Over a week of wonderful workshops and

fantastic fi lms came to an end as Your Konti-nent, Cinevolution’s annual fi lm and media arts festival, came to a close last Saturday with Digital Carnival at Minoru Plaza.

The festival, which ran from July 17 to 26, featured a number of components including fi lm screenings, discus-sions, Theatre Under the Sky, workshops, art in container installations and the popular Screen Bites programs.

The Screen Bites pro-grams work by “com-

bining food and fi lm,” said Yun-Jou Chang, managing director of Cinevolution.

There has traditionally been a dim sum movie screening at the festival each year, but this year they added a food and fi lm day at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery.

“I think people really enjoyed it,” Chang said.

Your Kontinent aims to bring people together through fi lm and media arts.

Part of the goal of the festival is to promote

community and com-munity building, ac-cording to Chang.

Digital Carnival was the last big event of the festival this year.

“Digital Carnival is the one thing we do that no one else in Richmond does,” Chang said.

The outdoor concert and light show featured a variety of musicians as well as media artists throughout the night.
