Local resident surprised to see trees chopped, city says they were in poor health
by Rebekah HammondContributor
Steveston residents can be assured the 11 trees removed by developers near where the Army and Navy Club used to be will be replaced.
Steve Kovacs was enjoying his usual
walk along No. 1 Road near Chatham with his dog on Tuesday when he noticed the 11 trees had been cut down.
“They were quite old and quite big and they had them all blocked off for construction,” said Kovacs. “Now I noticed they were ripped down and was curious to know why.”
Other people passing by were also surprised.
“I talked to other people in the street, mentioning how [the trees] were blocked off and then taken down,” said Kovacs.
“They were shocked too and couldn’t believe the cherry trees were gone.”
The trees behind Steveston Park were slated for removal by the de-velopers at 11900 No. 1 Road. They are building a seniors care facility
and a hall in the lot, according to City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend.
“The trees were all determined to be in poor health,” Townsend said. “With the development, the grade [of the land] will be changed significantly and it was found that the trees would be adversely affected by changes in the water table and grade.”
In keeping with the city’s tree by-law, the developer is required to pay compensation and new trees will be planted, “space permitting,” Townsend said.
The tree-shaded sidewalks of Ste-veston make the area a popular place for walking.
“Down in Steveston, you know, we like our trees,” Kovacs said. “I always walk with my dog through there.”

Dog stolen from family’s backyardReward offered for missing Rottweiler
by Jessica TieszenContributor
Police are on the lookout for Maxx, an 11-month-old Rott-weiler puppy who was stolen from an East Richmond home.
The dog was stolen from the home July 9, but Richmond RCMP issued a press release this week looking for in-formation in the theft.
Maxx is de-scribed as being of average height and build, mostly black with a mix of brown colour-ing and has a clipped tail. He answers to his name and was wearing a black leather col-lar with metal studs and spikes.
The dog’s owners told The Review that Maxx is a young, lovable, friendly dog that is a big part of the family. With three young children, R. Sanghera bought the dog to pro-tect the kids and serve as a companion.
On July 9, while R. Sanghera was away on vacation with his wife, the dog was stolen from his acreage in the 11000 block of Bird Road. A surveillance camera set up in the backyard captured two female suspects removing Maxx from his chain-linked dog house, taking him away in a sil-ver Dodge Caravan.
One suspect is described as a tall, skinny, blonde-haired female, the other, a heavy-set brunette. No further infor-mation has been released.

Commercial fishermen pulling in good catches
by Jeff NagelBlack Press
The sound of nets being ratcheted out of the Fraser River and big healthy salmon flopping into boats was music to the ears of commercial fishermen Tuesday.
After four years of being sidelined because of insufficient stocks, gillnetters took to the water to harvest sockeye in the lower river.
By all accounts, fishing was good with each boat hauling in an average of 250 sockeye despite challenging tides and being limited to just a three-hour opening.
“It’s always a happy moment to be out on the boat fishing,” said B.C. Fisheries Survival Coalition spokesman Phil Eidsvik from his boat off Surrey near Barnston Island.
“There’s more than we expected this far up.”
Recreational anglers and First Nations fish-ermen have also been eagerly pulling sock-eye from the river, as have seiners and troll-ers further offshore.
“The catches are good and people are fishing hard,” Sto:lo fisheries adviser Ernie Crey said.
There are growing hopes the catch com-ing in isn’t just a flash in the pan but will continue through September, when millions
more sockeye are still due to arrive.Up to 11 million sockeye were forecast this
year, but fishermen hardly dared think about that number, after similar optimistic projec-tions fell way short three years running.
“We’re just hopeful this is the beginning of some kind of a turnaround here,” said Irvin Figg, president of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union.
He said gillnetters are disappointed that after not having fished since 2006 they’ve got only a brief opening so far.
“Some people are insulted by that. I don’t blame them,” he said, but added he’s glad federal fisheries managers at least didn’t wait until most of the run had passed before giving the green light.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) area manager Barry Rosenberger said the early summer run is currently estimated at 1.6 mil-lion fish, about twice as many as had been projected.
It’s too early for in-season estimates of the later stocks, but DFO projected a further 2.6 million summer-run and 8.2 million late-summer-run sockeye would return to the Fraser.
“We’re trying to take a precautionary approach as we move our way through this,” Rosenberger said.
According to Pacific Salmon Commission estimates, just over one million sockeye have been caught as of Wednesday, with the Canadian commercial fleet taking 359,000, U.S. commercial boats taking 298,000 and First Nations on the Fraser taking 234,000. The balance includes test fishing, recreation-al and marine-area aboriginal catches.
George Heras, president of Ladner-based
Seven Seas Fish Co., said processors are scrambling to handle the incoming sockeye after becoming accustomed to years of a non-existant Fraser fishery.
The harvest comes as the federally appoint-ed Cohen Commission on the decline of Fraser sockeye conducts field tours ahead of public hearings slated to begin this fall.
Some observers worry DFO is not exercis-ing enough caution.
Just because enough sockeye show up and make it past the nets and rods on the lower Fraser doesn’t mean enough will survive
the long trip upriver to spawn in their birth streams.
“The Fraser is warmer than usual this year,” SFU fisheries biologist John Reynolds said.
“It’s getting to the critical temperature threshold where the fish can actually die before they get a chance to spawn because they’re not adapted to these warm tempera-tures.”
The provincial government also warned this week drought conditions and near-record low stream flows in much of northern B.C. could put fish stocks at risk.

Further action blocked pending court battleby Jeff NagelBlack Press
The historic anti-HST petition campaign has been ruled successful but Elections BC is blocking further action until a court battle over the validity of the initia-tive is settled.
Fight HST campaign leader Bill Vander Zalm accused the independent electoral office of stalling by refusing to take the next step of forwarding the petition and his HST-repealing legislation on to a legislative commit-tee.
That committee would then be required to either send the draft law to unravel the HST to a vote of the house or else hold a referendum in September of 2011.
Vander Zalm said acting chief electoral officer Craig James advised he would take no action until the court proceedings were final and complete.
“That is a complete stalling tactic which I’m sure was much encouraged by the government and the big busi-ness groups that initiated the action in the first place,” he said.
“One bureaucrat says they can stop it all, they can stop the will of the people? It’s ridiculous. No one should stand for it. We won’t stand for it.”
A court challenge by pro-HST business and industry groups aiming to quash the petition will be heard starting Monday, along with a second constitutional challenge of the HST itself launched by Vander Zalm, who contends B.C. failed to correctly implement the Harmonized Sales Tax.
But Vander Zalm said the proceedings and ensuing appeals could take several years.
He indicated the Fight HST campaign may seek a court injunction to force Elections BC to follow its gov-erning legislation.
And he said volunteers will prepare for a “total recall” campaign targeting all BC Liberal MLAs in stages to pressure the government to either reverse the HST or be toppled.
“We will move to recall,” Vander Zalm said. “We will recall every Liberal MLA in the province if that’s what it takes.”
The citizens’ initiative petition, which was submitted with more than 700,000 signatures, was certified as having passed with the required 10 per cent of regis-tered voters in all 85 constituencies in the province after a six-week count.
It’s the first time after a series of failed attempts on other issues for a campaign to successfully meet the initiative requirements of B.C.’s Recall and Initiative Act.
Although a non-binding referendum just over a year from now on the HST is one possible outcome if the petition and draft law makes it to the legislative com-mitttee, Vander Zalm said he would consider that a stonewalling tactic by government as well.
Nothing short of a vote of the legislature by Nov. 15 to repeal the HST will satisfy petitioners and avoid recall campaigns to begin picking off government MLAs.
Recallling an MLA is difficult—canvassers must get the signatures of 40 per cent of registered voters in the riding within 60 days. No MLA has ever been recalled in B.C., although one resigned just as a recall campaign wrapped up that was expected to succeed.
Vander Zalm’s draft legislation aims to end the 12 per cent HST and replace it with the old seven per cent Provincial Sales Tax and five per cent federal Goods and Services Tax. It would give each B.C. resident an equal share of the provincial portion of the HST collected since July 1.

From Page 1“No one ever enters
our backyard, so the suspects must’ve been familiar with our proper-ty,” explains Sanghera. “The suspects parked their vehicle on the road, walked alongside the house and enticed the dog onto a leash.”
The week before, Sanghera received an inquiry from a SPCA animal protection offi -cer. The representative arrived at Sanghera’s house unannounced af-ter allegedly receiving an animal cruelty complaint from neighbours. The man did not release any
details of the complaint, but after investigation, wrote it off.
“When the SPCA rep-resentative saw Maxx he was shocked at how beautiful my dog was. He wondered why the complaint had been fi led and stated that the dog was in good hands,” explains Sanghera. “He asked me a lot about Maxx questioning if the dog had been neutered, while examining the property.”
Senior animal protec-tion offi cer Eileen Drever confi rmed reports of the complaint and the suc-ceeding investigation.
Drever explains that many of the complaints they receive are not very valid. “We receive some ridiculous complaints, but we always respond. This may have been one of them.”
After reporting to the RCMP, Sanghera took further search action by posting a note about his dog on craigslist.
“I received a phone call
from a man claiming that my dog was in Vancou-ver, with no further de-tail,” explains Sanghera. “I just want him back in good hands.”
Richmond RCMP is ask-ing anyone with informa-tion regarding Maxx’s whereabouts to contact Const. Langley at 604-278-1212.

Richmond’s Premier Auto Transmission Ltd. is suing for damages caused by the fatal plane crash in July 2009.
The lawsuit is being filed against Canadian Air Charters Inc. and Integra Ops Ltd. by the transmission shop for business losses, cost of investigation and environmental contami-nation clean-up and property, vehicle and transmission core damages.
No one on the ground was injured, but the twin engine
Piper Navajo crashed on the property of the transmission shop.
Premier Auto claims there was lost revenue as a result of the crash because they were with-out electricity for two days.
The writ filed to the B.C. Supreme Court by Premier Auto claimed the crash was “caused or contributed to” by the negli-gence of those responsible for aircraft’s maintenance.
The fatal crash of the twin engine Piper Navajo took place
last year on Bridgeport Road and resulted in the deaths of Jeremy Sunderland and Mathew Pedersen.
They were on a routine flight coming from Victoria carrying donated blood.
No amount of damages is specified in the writ.
Claims have not been proven in court, nor has a statement of defence been given.
Investigation of the crash by the Transportation Safety Board is on-going.

A Vancouver police officer was struck by a vehicle on Highway 99 late Wednesday after-noon.
The officer was attempting to pull
over a vehicle head-ing northbound on Highway 99 between Blundell Road and Westminster Highway. Another car crashed into the vehicle, strik-ing the officer.
The officer was con-ducting speed enforce-ment along a stretch of the highway that is currently a construc-tion zone.
The officer was
treated at the scene and taken to hos-pital by emergency vehicles and was later released. The officer, a 13 year member of Vancouver Police, suf-fered bruises and soft tissue damage.
The highway was shut northbound for several hours as police investigated.
One witness who was near the scene wrote
on richmondreview.com: “The police offi-cer actually jumped out onto the road to stop the first car who was speeding. It forced the first car to stomp on his brakes, and what happens when you suddenly (decelerate) on a highway?
“The car behind you (doesn’t) stop fast enough and will rear end you.”

Richmondites have an oppor-tunity to get up-close and personal with birds of prey at a Falconry Show that’s being held at Terra Nova Rural Park.
The Pacific Northwest Raptors group from Cowichan B.C. which specializes in rescuing, training and working with birds of prey will be in Richmond with their feathered friends all day on Sunday, Aug. 22.
Hawks, eagles and a turkey vulture will be featured at the event showing off their hunting skills.
“It’s a unique experience for people to get up close to the birds and see their eyes and their talons, because birds are usually in motion or flying away,” said nature park co-ordinator Kris Bauder.
“It’s great to see a bunch of wild birds up close and in action.”
Guests of all ages get the chance to learn about each bird. Turkey vultures are a unique highlight, according to Bauder.
“They are really funny birds,” Bauder said. “Most people think, ‘Eww, yuck.’ But they’re absolutely wondrous things.
“They’ve adapted to eat things no other animals will eat. To me, they seem to have a bit of a sense of humour. I always think they see the world differently than other birds of prey.”
During the show, birds will be flying from handler to perch, making a catch and entertain-ing the audience while trainers talk about the birds’ hunting skills and habits.
Handlers will also be hold-
ing their companion birds so people will have a chance to have a closer look at the vari-ous hawks, eagles and turkey vultures.
People can come and go throughout the day as the event is on-going with a fea-tured bird being shown off all the time.
Located on old farm land, Terra Nova Park also has areas for picnicking, trails for walking and public washrooms.
The exhibit opens at 11 a.m. and goes until 4 p.m. and is free of charge. Call 604 718-6188 for more info.

Camping under the stars
I loved it when my daughter, Sophie told me this summer
they would take me camping when I visited them in Haida Gwaii.
“Us camping out on some beaches Mum. And we’ll take the truck to get there.” Taking a truck made the idea of camp-ing way easier for me who is now living with cranky knees—sore joints that hate doing a long hike in soft sand.
Sophie and her fam-ily live in Tlell which is about half way between Skidegate and Port Clement on the Hecate Strait side of Graham
Island. If the tides are right, and you have a 4-wheel drive, it’s easy to access miles and miles of sandy and agate loaded beaches that stretch north towards Cape Ball and beyond.
I liked the idea that the five of us would be together, far away from telephones and computers. Far enough away to have a restful break. I brought a few books to read, a sketch book, and three pillows because of the luxury of being able to bring extra things in the truck. Plus Hugo my dog who was along for the ride too.
We flew to Masset in a small Pacific Coastal turbo prop airplane. Hugo had been crated and was safe in the rear cargo hold. The small airport in Masset was alive with all kinds of activity when we landed. Chartered helicopters and jets crowded the small airport that were ferrying sports fishermen to and from remote lodges. Inside the rustic buildings sun burnt men were drinking beer and playing poker.
Friendly cargo handlers out on the tarmac started to unload all the baggage and boxes. A happy Hugo dog was then lifted over a cart and handed down to me. It was a nice feeling for us to be there—on an
island with my two grand-daughters, where the visit this time was a chance to be in their home. We camped on some sand dunes between a river and the sea. Lazy, hot sunny days passed with frequent dips into the dark blue ocean and playing games under the shade of some spruce trees. Two ravens entertained us with their unique clucking, clacking language.
Sarah (12), Caitlin (9) and I made a sand sculp-ture of a giant turtle. Its back was decorated with white, sun bleached clam shells. We spent an after-noon gathering washed up fishing and crab trap floats that were then num-bered and named with a marker pen.
My “racing boat” was named the Queen Mary. The girls made a starting point using a long stick to cross the small, shallow river. There were at least a dozen boats entered in the race to see which one would reach the sea first.
With a lot of noise and gaiety, the race to the sea started. The entries bumped along, some got stuck on rocks and oth-ers floundered in back eddies. Rule number one was no one could touch them. When a stuck boat became free because of a
gust of wind or a sudden surge in the current the yelling increased. I waded quickly behind the boats in the brown river water warmed by the sun. The others ran along on the soft river banks. It didn’t really matter who won. What we all enjoyed was getting into the spirit of play. Cool light sea breezes at night made for perfect sleeping condi-tions compared to the heat we felt during the day. Zapped by too much sun I would be in my tent by the time dusk arrived. Several hours later, I awoke to marvel at the magnificence of the stars above. I inched by way out onto a home made planked “porch” (to try to keep some of the sand out of my tent). I pulled my pillows out with me. Sleeping underneath the incredibly bright Milky Way couldn’t be missed.
I went back to sleep lying on my back looking far up into a night sky know-ing that in a few hours I’d awake again in time to see a orange sunrise in the distant smoky sky.

Government needs to act on anti-HST petition
The petition against the HST has been ruled a success—but it appears that Elections B.C. is afraid to step on any legal mine-
fields. The agency will not pass on the petition-ers’ proposed bill to a legislative committee—the next step in the process.
It is important to keep several things in mind. First of all, the petition drive is an historic victory in Canada for direct democracy. It is the first time any recall drive or initiative drive has formally succeeded. This is a milestone, and is particularly significant given how difficult it is for such a drive to succeed, under the leg-islation.
Second, Elections B.C. is an non-partisan agency, and the chief electoral officer is there in an acting capacity. Craig James normally works as one of the top clerks in the Legislative Assembly. He thus is a stickler for details, and the fact that the petition drive is the subject of one lawsuit has caused him to decide that he can’t pass this successful petition on to the committee at present.
There are several things that can happen. The provincial government can bypass James’ concerns and take the proposed bill straight to committee, and eventually vote on it in the legislature. It is not obliged to sit on the pro-posed bill simply because of James’ caution.
The government can also ask James to explain his rea-soning more clearly. His lack of an explanation is baffling and makes people cynical about the democratic process
It is also possible that the two lawsuits that are the ostensible cause of the holdup be withdrawn. One is on the legality of the HST law. Initiated by Bill Vander Zalm, the proponent of the petition, it would certainly be with-drawn if necessary.
The second lawsuit was brought in at the very last min-ute by a coalition of business groups who back the HST. They can continue their lawsuit, but they do so at their peril. Their continued blocking of the petition by use of the court system will be seen by the public as an attempt to circumvent democracy.
Finance Minister Colin Hansen said Thursday that the government wants to see the proposed legislation go to the committee as soon as possible.
It has a number of means at its disposal to do just that.—Langley Times

Editors:I try to write about manners
at least once or twice a year and recently as I was googling I came across this question: “Are common courtesy and decency taking a ‘time out’ from society today?”
I said as much to my husband recently while driving. He let a couple of cars through, even though he could have squeezed them out. The drivers didn’t even look at him to nod or wave a hand.
I gave a piece of furniture to a woman who I thought was a friend of mine. She took it and drove away, never offering even a thank you.
My niece and her husband were visiting my daughter and her husband for a few days.
They were four adults, and my son-in-law spent considerable time cooking wonderful meals, complete with wine. These relatives with two very hungry teenagers, never offered to con-tribute even a bottle of wine, but looked forward to spending time with another household, saying, “I hope they will feed us.” In-wardly I cringed hearing this and thought, “whatever happened to our cultured family, they sound like moochers!”
It doesn’t matter if it is road rage, or friends, or family, or folk on the streets throwing away their garbage, or people not picking up after their dogs, the lack of manners and common courtesy is disappearing from our society.
Courtesy can be the recogni-
tion of a person shaking their hand, or giving up of one’s seat to a pregnant or elderly person, or the thank-you note for a gift received, or not interrupting a person who is speaking, or the pleasantries exchanged as we allow a hurried customer ahead of us in the queue.
David, the writer of the Psalms in the Bible, knew that such courtesy honoured God when he exclaimed, “He who brings thanksgiving as his sacrifi ce honours God.”
Let’s begin to act honourably to each other as we show courtesy towards each other.
It will change our world con-siderably and also make us feel better about ourselves.
Esther McIlveenRichmond
letters
Editor: Upon reading the articles these
past few months on the Richmond bed-and-breakfast issues, it seems as if the fault is on the city rather than the distraught home owners. The city gave owners minimal public warning before enforcing bylaws that were practically invisible previ-ously.
Being closely linked to the bed and breakfast industry for 10 years now, I can see no harm in operating these “little visiting centres.” B&Bs like Stone Hedge and Cedar House that were associated with Tourism Richmond usually result in very satis-fied customers who are more than willing to revisit Canada—partly
because Vancouver-Richmond is one of the best tourism hotspots in the country but mainly because of the heart warming family experience as well as the professional services found at these B&Bs.
The city, as Brian Cooper of Stone Hedge mentioned, shows no effort and only targets the “low hanging fruit.” There are dozens more unqual-ified bed and breakfasts that can easily be found in other newspapers yet are continuing to run without problems.
My advice for the city next time is to gather up their facts beforehand before walking into hot waters.

Editor:I felt compelled to
respond to the recent letters (July 22 and 30) regarding our snow goose problem. The July
22 letter writer obviously has not visited or tried to walk through a school ground or park that these geese have grazed. I frequent Blundell Park/
School, Kilgour School, Grauer School, Minoru Park, etc. with my dog and I can tell you it is not possible to “step around what is on the ground.” Are you kidding me, a fairy couldn’t “step around” the excrement left by these birds.
I’m especially surprised that I have not heard anything from our school board. Surely the schools have been complaining for years. Are they not on the bandwagon regarding this severe problem? I would think that this is a major health issue for them. One elementary principal I talked to said that the students have “outside shoes and indoor shoes.”
The city will be enlisting dog handlers on call and staff will be trained with air guns, lasers, bright lights to monitor these areas in the hopes that the geese will move elsewhere (where who knows?) at a cost of $100,000 per year. This money will be well spent.
As for the “killing” which I don’t condone or necessarily support, we have to be realistic with this. We have to think of the best resolution. I fore-see much bigger issues with disease if this con-tinues, especially for our children and elderly. More burden on our health care system because of a few geese! Really!
Is it considered “killing” if the geese are given to the homeless or food bank?

Richmond Maritime Festival - August 20-22
Britannia Heritage Shipyard
The Britannia Heritage Shipyard preserves Richmond’s maritime history through the restoration and pres-ervation of a variety of buildings and boats, from the shipyard, to the cannery, to the Murakami House, the home of a Japanese-Canadian family in the 1930s and ’40s.
The Silver Ann, a 33-foot gillnetter, was the last boat built when the site was a working shipyard and has been restored at Britannia.
How We Lived is an exhibit that opened last year that explores the stories of work and play at Britannia between 1910 and 1930, in five buildings situated over the Fraser River: the Murchison Gift Shop, the Manager’s House, the Men’s Bunkhouse, the Point House and the Chinese Bunkhouse.
Located along the Steveston Channel of the south arm of the Fraser River, the site is a collection of historic buildings, many built in the 1880s.
It was originally home to a cannery and then a shipyard.
The shipyard is locat-ed by the south end of Railway Avenue. It can be easily accessed from Steveston by foot—just follow the boardwalk east of the village; it’s about a 10-minute walk.
Britannia is open 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday to Sunday in February. Tuesday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. from May 1 to Sept. 30. Winter hours are Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. Britannia Heritage Shipyard, 5180 Westwater Dr., Richmond, 604-718-8050, [email protected], www.britannia-hss.ca

Lower Mainland landlubbers can test their
sea legs and travel back through Rich-mond’s seaworthy history at Rich-mond’s seventh annual Maritime Festival held at the Britannia Shipyard in Steveston Aug. 20 to 22.
The village of Steveston, now incorporated into Richmond, has a rich fishing history that spans back to the 1880s. In past years, there was a thriving boat-building industry and many fish canner-ies were operating. Today, Steveston is still a safe harbour for many modern-day fishing vessels.
“Richmond is an island, we’ve always been a fishing com-
munity,” said Angela Soon, special projects co-ordinator.
“People don’t realize the fishing industry is [still] active.”
The free festivities, which begin Friday at noon run through the weekend and promise interactive displays, artist performances and hands-on activi-ties for all ages.
Visitors can learn about Richmond’s past by walking through the histori-
cal buildings at the Britannia Shipyard. There will also be sev-eral traditional boats that can be boarded and explored includ-ing a 1930s rum-runner, historic fish-ing boats and classic power and sail boats.
Knot-tying, rope-making, net-mending or model boat-build-ing workshops will be set up for people to try.

Richmond Maritime Festival - August 20-22 at Britannia Heritage Shipyard
Alan Haig-Brown, John Horton to give talks
From Page B3Younger children can get their face
painted, or a fake tattoo of the originally-designed Maritime Festival logo: a pirate fish skeleton.
Spicing things up at the festival will be the first annual Steveston Dragon Boat Festival that’s being incorporated into the week-end’s celebrations.
It features an Adventure Race where the speed of a dragon boat, canoe, kayak and inflatable boat are tested against each other. To learn more about the ancient Chinese sport, people can attend the tra-
ditional dragon eye-dotting ceremony that happens on Saturday morning.
Visitors looking for a physical challenge can enter for a day of dragon boat training on Saturday and compete in a race the next day.
Several feature speakers are giving pre-sentations including last year’s favorite, sea shanty-singing Tom Lewis. Lewis will be back entertaining audiences and teaching them how to sing like a sailor.
“His songs are funny,” said Soon. “He’s a lot of fun to be with.”
Other presenters are Alan Haig-Brown author of Still Fishin’ and John Horton giving two talks about Captain George Vancouver charting Northwest North America and the centennial of the Canadian Navy.
Music enthusiasts won’t be left out of
the fun. On Friday, Aug. 20 at 6 p.m., the paid Musical Expressions Concert Series will be featuring local music artists Bruce Coughlan, Bob Kemmis and Cherelle Jardine. Tickets are $25 per person and must be bought ahead of time at the Britannia gift shop.
Another concert night will be held on Saturday, Aug. 21 at 5:30 p.m. featuring local performers Redgrass, Ezra Kwizera, and Wheat In the Barley; this event is free.
“The weekend is a good opportunity for people to view working boats that aren’t usually open to the public,” said Soon.
The weekend events start Friday, Aug. 20 at noon until 5 p.m. Events on Saturday and Sunday run 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Britannia Shipyard is located at the southern end of Railway Avenue: 5180 Westwater Dr.

Picturesque and fl at, Steveston has long been a favourite of cyclists—those out for a leisurely whirl as well as the more ambitious.
For years, competitive cyclists have lobbied for a race to be held in the quaint village but the idea has always fallen on deaf ears—until now.
Sunday, Aug. 15, the in-augural Steveston Sock-eye Spin will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. And organizers—volunteers at the Steveston Com-munity Centre—hope it will signal the start of an annual event.
“A lot of riders feel it’s a cool place to race so we’re taking on that challenge,” says assis-tant race organizer Erich Harvey.
The starting list is still incomplete, but Harvey expects some of B.C.’s top riders will be among those to take up the challenge of the .90-ki-lometre criterium race.
The course winds its way through the busi-ness core of Steveston, from No. 1 Road west on Moncton Street, south on 3rd Avenue, east of Bayview Street and north on No. 1 Road.
“It’s an exciting, fast-paced sport and there’s often some drama,” says Harvey.
The drama of which Harvey speaks is sure to be heightened by the fact the Sockeye Spin will feature primes (pro-nounced preems), which are races within races where riders sprint for prizes on a designed lap or at a certain point.
As a provincially-sanctioned race, part of Cycling B.C.’s criterium series, many of the rid-ers in the Sockeye Spin will also be trying to add to their individual and team point totals this season.
Johanna Stewart, the volunteer chair of the Sockeye Spin, says there’s been talk of hold-ing a bike race in Ste-veston for a long time. It was a couple of “bike people” that volunteered at the community centre that got things rolling.
“They threw the idea out and the Steveston Community Society supported it and be-

Dragon boaters help the food bank
Dragon Boats are com-ing to Steveston, and Richmond Food Bank volunteers and staff are in the race.
The 1st annual Ste-veston Dragon Boat Festival will be held Aug. 21 and 22 at Britannia Heritage Shipyard run-ning simultaneously with the Richmond Maritime Festival.
Featuring two full days of dragon boat racing and other maritime activities, there will be entertain-ment, food, and a sunset concert on Saturday.
No dragon boat paddling experience is required for this event as there will be instruction offered Saturday morning by donation to the Rich-mond Food Bank. Races will take place Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday, with prizes that include medals, elec-tronics, and other great prizes.
In return for this fabulous action-packed festival, participants and spectators are encour-aged to make donations to the Richmond Food Bank. The food bank is still experiencing the ef-fects of the recession and serving record numbers of people. Come out, par-ticipate in the fun, give paddling a try, and cheer on the Richmond Food Bank team with applause for its efforts and dona-tions to its cause.

On the counter of Rich-mond Hospital’s mam-mography centre was a
cheery flower in Breast Cancer Awareness pink.
Positive thinking posters bright-ened the walls with advice like “do it anyway” and “take good care of those you love.” Tracy Chapman was playing on the radio and the recep-tionist had a real smile.
Yet I dreaded this appointment like no other.
Based on health statistics, my fam-ily history, and the passing of my 40th birthday last year, I was in for my very first mammogram. Dozens of older friends and relatives had already been touched by breast can-cer, most surviving due to aggressive treatment, a few devastatingly not.
My mother is a 12-year survivor due to early detection from a mammo-gram just like the one I was about to have.
I tried to swallow the apricot-sized lump in my throat as I filled out the paperwork. The questions were per-sonal but necessary: when did my cycles first start? Was there a family history of breast cancer? How many full term pregnancies had I had?
It occurred to me that in mod-ern society, the mammogram has become another rite of passage for women, as expected as one’s first period or menopause. In fact, when I started asking around, I found that more than half of my 40 something-aged friends had already gone to their local clinics for a check.
And now it was my turn. “First time?” the clinician asked after
reminding me that the hospital gown tied in the back not the front.
I nodded mutely, looking at the Machine. The clinician politely explained to me the protocol and got me positioned up against the machine. She put my breast in the press and asked me to hold my breath while the image was taken.
It kind of felt like hugging a photo-copier. No pain for me and the whole test took about three minutes includ-ing discussion about what to expect. Both my doctor and I would receive results in due time and I would likely return in a couple of years if my scan was clear.
And so it was. As far as rites of passage went, this was a simple, painless one. Still, I treated myself to a fancy coffee on the way home and called my best friend to talk about it.
She turned 40 this year so it was her turn next.
And the next female rite of passage for me? Menopause. I can only wish it will be as pleasant and a non issue as my mammogram.
By the way, this weekend is the Weekend to End Women’s Cancers. More information is available at: http://va10.endcancer.ca And if you are a woman and haven’t had your mammogram yet, contact the Richmond screening mammography centre at 604-244-5505. Remember to take care of those you love ... including yourself.

The number of or-phaned and abandoned children is increasing dramatically in Ensenada, Mexico and Cambie Out of School Care children wanted to help.
Spearheaded by Shan-non Painter, Melissa Martin and Andrea Dys-alvdor, staff of Cambie Community Centre’s Out of School Care program, the older children made gifts for the children of the Rancho El Milagro orphanage. They wanted
each child to have at least one toy that they could hug and love.
“When you do some-thing for someone else, you can change a life,” declared one child.
So they sanded, painted and varnished blocks with numbers and the letters of the Spanish alphabet, made chicks out of yarn and painted personalized bandanas.
International volunteer work projects have been a mainstay at Richmond’s Fraserview MB Church and, when asked if they would like to be involved, Cambie staff jumped at the chance.
“It is an opportunity for us to give as well as to gain cultural awareness.” says Suzi Rosenberg of Cambie Community Centre.

Sailing siblingsThe Richmond Ki-goos are Fraser South Region champions for a fourth straight year.
Kigoos dominated the competition last weeked at Water-mania. Sixty-eight swimmers from the local club qualifi ed to compete in individual races at the upcoming provincial champion-ships Aug. 20-22 in Kamloops. The likes of Cameron Howie, Jeremy Fung, Dakota Chan and Julia Morris are expected to con-tinue to build on their success this season.
Kigoos also quali-fi ed to compete in 29 relays, making it 108 events in total the lo-cals have qualifi ed to participate in at pro-vincials.

Leif and Kendra Ped-ersen are no strang-ers to the water,
having grown up in a family of sailors.
The Richmond siblings are the latest in a long line of boaters, and are also carrying on a tradition of excellence on the water. They both won medals at the recent B.C. Sum-mer Games—Leif, a bronze in double-handed sailing; and Kendra, a gold in skills devel-opment rowing. The results add to an impressive family trophy case.
Their mom, Laurel Fahrni, grew up in a family of power boaters. They spent summers and weekends at the cabin cruising back and forth across the Gulf of Georgia. Their dad, Gordon Pedersen, raced sail-boats. His parents even built boats, sailing them around the world to foreign countries, most recently to Denmark.
Leif gets his talent from his Aunt Annie, an accomplished sailor and competitive racer, says Laurel.
“I think what infl uenced the kids most was the time spent on our sailboat as children,” she says. “When you sail, your mind is your own. It builds character, you learn how to be quiet and experience the moment.”
From a young age, the kids rowed in a little orange infl at-able zodiac which they called the “Tyche J.”
Both Leif, 16, and Kendra, 15, have been home-schooled and share time equally between academics and sports. Leif bikes to sailing practice in Vancouver, while Kendra wakes up at 5 a.m., four times a week to be on time for row-ing practice.
“I absolutely love and adore the sport,” says Kendra, who only began rowing two years
ago.“I don’t aspire to go to the
Olympics, but it would be really cool to row at a univer-sity.”
Kendra teamed with Alyssa Hermann to win gold at the B.C. Games. The pair aston-ished the crowd by perform-ing their ‘glide skill’ for 30 seconds, adding loads of bonus points to their score as they rotated their oars be-tween vertical and horizontal positions over 20 times. Other performance skills included an emergency stop, a fi gure eight, a wide 90-degree turn and docking to a buoy. They won by a considerable margin.
“The girls just blew the competition out of the water,”
says Laurel.Leif teamed with Joren
Jackson to compete in seven sailing races at the Games, “averaging third in all of them.”
The event requires two members, one a crew to set the sails and the other a skip-per to steer the boat.
“There was a lot of varying competition depending on where people came from and how much knowledge they had of the water,” Leif says.
“We had gone to the sight at the Rocky Point Sailing As-sociation to prepare ourselves for the event. That really benefi ted us because we knew the water and knew what to expect.”
Laurel and Gordon were ecstatic with their kids’ ac-complishments, and that they too share their passsion of boating.
“In 1987 my husband and I bought a sailboat,” Laurel says.
“When he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 10 years ago, we decided to donate it to the Sea Cadets in Richmond. We still love the water and our kids have been in boats since they could walk. They have continued the fam-ily’s passion for boats.
“My husband’s sickness has given my kids direction. They have learned to be indepen-dent and work to succeed in everything.”

Chuckers second at Midget provincialsby Don FennellSports Editor
Just as the tortoise proved slow and steady can win a race, the Richmond Chuckers Midg-et AA baseball team has followed a deliberate path to success.
After putting the wraps on the 2010 sum-mer season by fi nishing second at the pro-vincial championships last weekend in Prince
George, manager Don Hass, his coaching staff ( Mark Smirfi tt, Jon Fenn and Terry Dowle) and the Chuckers themselves are now able to ap-preciate the fruits of their labour.
“A lot of these kids I’ve coached, including my son (Tyler), since they were fi ve years old,” Hass says. “It’s a little easier now that they know what to expect.”
Throughout the long journey, which includ-ed a 1-9 win-loss record only a few seasons
ago, Hass has been steadfast in his belief that solid fundamentals lead to individual success and winning baseball.
But being well grounded in the basics also enables players to work on more complex as-pects by the time they reach this level, not only improving their overall game but helping them advance in the sport, he says.
The progress of the Chuckers is apparent.Not only did the current group play solid
ball, but was consistently strong in the out-fi eld, this summer. Hass was also proud of the team’s ability to develop a deep pitching staff.
“There’s a difference between throwing and pitching, and new pitch count rules force you to have a strong pitching staff,” he says.
“We only had 12 guys on the roster but we used eight to pitch, including three who’d never thrown before.”

Richmond City Baseball hosted a doubleheader against Saskatchewan’s Pee-wee AA champions Wednesday.
But the Chuckers’ “friendlies” against the team from Lloy-dminster were more about building rela-tions, and the game, than numbers on a scoresheet.
“We’re looking for the greater good,” said Richmond City Baseball president Pat Weatherill.
Weatherill said plans are afoot to send a Richmond team to a tournament in Sas-katchewan next May, and for a Lloydmister team to return here next season to par-ticipate in the annual Bantam invitational.
For the current Sas-katchewan champs, the two games this week against the Chuckers were a wel-comed last-minute op-portunity to prepare for the Western Cana-dian championships which began Friday in Newton.
“This experience means a lot to us,” said head coach Dave Keck. “We play two tough B.C. teams in Newton and West Kel-owna in our fi rst two games. It was impor-tant to get our feet on the ground and fi eld the ball, and also to have a look at the pitching.”
In Saskatchewan, curve balls are not al-lowed because of the strain it can put on pichers’ arms.
Kigoos win regionals
A former and current Richmond resident fi nished one-two in the super senior divi-sion at the B.C. Senior Men’s Championship Thursday at Ledgview Golf and Country Club.
Bill Wilms, now re-siding in Delta, won the title at 11-over par 221 while Larry Lecomte secured sec-ond at 15-over par 225.
Gudmund Lindbjerg of Port Moody sewed up his third overall provincial victory in a row with a 1-under par 69, fi nishing with a three-day total of 212.
“At 67, I’m playing better golf than any other time in my life. It’s a thrill to win,”

It has been reported that on a recent episode of the Oprah Talk Show, film star Raquel Welch enthusiastically took the pledge to make her car a “No Phone Zone,” thereby joining the now close to 400,000 total pledge submitters. If you haven’t yet taken Oprah’s ‘No Phone Zone’ pledge, you, too, (—Canadians welcome) can go to Oprah.com, click on the highlighted NO PHONE ZONE button and retrieve the form.
We may scoff, but wandering through the ‘NPZ’ web pages might just take you exactly where Oprah wants you to go—straight back to the pledge form. It appears that Oprah is a genius motivator. That she has chosen to focus her seemingly limitless energies on this topic and in this way, i.e. via a pledge, is laudable and interesting. For one thing, the exercise highlights one of the problems with the patchwork quilt that is motor vehicle law in the United States and, indeed, in Canada. An interactive map on the site shows the differing cell phone use laws for each state. This means that while some people are opting to pledge voluntarily—in the states without cell phone use laws—others may be pledging to do what the law requires them to do anyway.
Is the fundamental assumption of a democracy founded on the rule of law that citizens know the law and will obey it no longer reliable? Is it just the special nature of cell phone usage— we are so badly habituated that the usual sanctions don’t work? … And has Oprah started a revolution to harmonize 50 sets of motor vehicle laws?
Oprah isn’t the only NPZ enthusiast. In Coral Springs, Florida, Allstate Insurance is running an “X the TXT” campaign to
encourage teens to sign a no-texting-and-driving pledge. Participation is encouraged by a contest for Jordin Sparks tickets. Winning involves proving you are a champion texter holding a valid driver’s license or learner’s permit, and who has taken the pledge. Proving thumb-skill prowess
involves submitting a single 2010 cell phone bill. So far, the lead contestant has, reportedly, logged 38,000 text messages in a single month.
But, as if breaking our collective cell phone habit isn’t tough enough, a new study from England concludes listening to sports on the radio is also problematic, especially if you are in any way emotionally involved. Traditionally, radio listening, not requiring driver interaction, has not been considered distracting. Listening to sports broadcasts is different, however, especially if you are emotionally connected to the outcome.
Emotionally connected drivers had 20% slower reaction times which added six metres of stopping distance at 110 kmh—10% farther than drivers at the legal limit for alcohol consumption. Reports of the study describe skeptical reactions by some experts. However, distracted driving expert Paul Atchley, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Kansas said, “if you live and die with every score broadcast on the radio…It will take [your] attention from the roadway, because you can’t attend to two things at the same time. There’s no such thing as multi-tasking.”

Newton adds four locals to Western lineupFrom Page A13
Immediately follow-ing the provincials, four players—Tyler Hass, Anthony Read, Trevor Anderson and Mawid Mohamad—were asked to join the Newton team that will host the West-ern Canadian champion-ships next week.
“It’s a big step, but I’m sure we could have had six or seven players be asked to play,” says Don Hass.
“I believe all four are going to start. They’re all very good with the bat and dedicated to baseball more than any-thing.”
The Chuckers started strong at the provincial championships, defeat-ing Ladner 11-5 in their opener on the strength of six strikeouts by pitch-er Anderson. Cam Dowle and Fred Cote each went 2-for-3 scoring fi ve runs. In their second game, an 11-1 win over Cloverdale, Jonah Rose was 3-for-3 and Tyler Hass had fi ve RBIs.
Richmond continued its winning form by defeat-ing the province’s No. 1-ranked team Gibsons (37-1 on the season).
The Chuckers jumpd out to a 2-0 lead on a Tyler Hass homer and Nolan Smirfi tt went 3-for-3 and made some big plays in centerfi eld. Mohamad pitched fi ve scoreless in-nings against a powerful offence before making way for Hass who earned the save. Riley Hass was strong at fi rst base.
The Chuckers lost a 19-10 slugfest to Rutland on Saturday, despite a left fi eld double to the wall by Joel Martin. Brett Dubbert went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and Mitch Chau scored a run and made some sig-nifi cant defensive plays at second base.
Richmond reached the fi nal thanks to a 9-5
semifi nal win over host Prince George before bowing to Maple Ridge 7-1 in the fi nal—giving up three runs in the sec-ond inning.
Made up of players from two house teams, the Stars and Rockies, the Chuckers were forced to mesh quickly because of a short, but compact summer schedule that didn’t begin until July. They were only 1-4 af-ter fi ve games but then went undefeated before losing to Rutland.
Many of these players will likely play as fi rst-year Juniors next sea-son. Don Hass is confi -dent they’ll continue to to build on their current success.
The inaugural Steveston Sockeye Spin will be held Sunday.
Many of B.C.’s top riders are ex-pected to participate in the series of
cycling races. It is hoped the event become an annual event.
The action begins at 8 a.m. and continues through 2 p.m.

Lloydminster and Rich-mond’s baseball programs have a lot in common. While Richmond is in the midst of rebuilding the game from the grassroots, Lloydmin-ster is now reaping the re-wards of doing the same more than a decade ago.
“In 1996 baseball had all but completely disap-peared,” Keck said. “Our
older boys took it on the chin pretty hard at provin-cials every year, but that led us to these boys play-ing and the (positive) expe-rience they’re having now. So, it took a while to build the program.”
Lloydmister fi nished atop an Alberta AAA league this season before going on to win the Saskatchewan pro-vincial title.
Like Richmond, Lloydminsterrebuilt its youth program

Maureen, Marianne, Eileen, Darrell, Chris, and Jay (left to right) are just a few of the volunteers that helped make this year’s Family Farm Fair at London Heritage Farm an enormous success. Visit www.londonheritagefarm.ca for more snapshots of the fair held Sunday, Aug. 8.
Starlight Children’s Foundation and Rocky Mountaineer treated 6-year-old Spencer Painter (with his family above), 11-year-old Sarah Perry, 16-year-old Nick Morin and their families to a fantas-tic Whistler “Great Escape” onboard the Whistler Sea to Sky Climb, helping to create memories that will support many of them through diffi cult times that lay ahead. The “Great Escapes” program is de-signed to provide opportunities for families with a seriously ill fam-ily member to spend recreational time together to relax, regroup and return home with a renewed sense of strength and hope.
Peter Dhillon, owner of the Richberry Group, donated 50 tickets to the July 23 Cirque de Soleil performance of Kooza to families registered with the Richmond Christmas Fund, administered by Volunteer Richmond Information Services. The Irwin family (left) were recipients, receiving them from Dhillon and Greg Halsey-Brandt (right), community chair of the Richmond Christmas Fund. Any-one (individuals, families or groups) who would like to join the Christmas Fund volunteer team should apply before October 15. For more information, phone 604-279-7020 or visit www.volunteerrichmond.ca.
Elroy Jespersen (right), vice-president of Diversicare Western Canada, awarded a plaque of recognition to Sharon Oke, general manager of Gilmore Gardens. Gilmore Gardens was awarded the BC Seniors Living Association Seal of Ap-proval. This new program identifi es senior living communities that adhere to the highest in industry standards.
