Sun bathing urged
New single-family homes inRichmond may soon have to bebuilt to accommodate a solar-pow-ered hot water system.
The B.C. government is prepar-ing to introduce regulations thatwill require the municipalities whoopt into the new rules to ensurethat single dwelling units are solarhot water ready.
The City of Richmond had notopted in before the original June1 deadline, but the province hassince extended the cut off dateto Aug. 1 and city staff are nowrecommending Richmond beinvolved.
Any new regulations — whichwould require infrastructure to beput in place by the builder dur-ing construction — are aimed atreducing the use of non-renewableenergy sources and thus reduce thecity’s greenhouse gas emissions.
The city’s acting director ofbuilding approvals, Gavin Woo,said in his report, set to go beforeTuesday’s city council plan-ning committee, that, “solar hotwater systems will be undergoingwidespread adoption in the com-ing years in the form of … roofmounted systems designed to heatthe dwelling’s water.”
In order to accommodate thefuture installation of a solar heat-ing system, the roof would have tobe designed to cope with the addi-tional weight.
Woo added that having thedesign in place at the constructionstage will allow the homeownerto easily install the piping andcabling to connect to the solarpanels on the roof.
Also, having the buildingdesigned to slip a solar hot watersystem in will dramatically reducethe cost of installing such a sys-tem, with additional costs — if

Despite fierce public opposi-tion, a bid to allow truck storagealong a stretch of River Roadmoved one step closer Mondaynight.
Neighbours of Quadra CoastCarriers have voiced in the past
their anger at the company’sapplication to rezone the subjectproperty from agriculture toindustrial storage to permit com-mercial vehicle parking and stor-age at the 16780 River Rd. site.
But, with no apparent opposi-tion from the floor at city coun-cil’s public hearing this week, the

‘Dressing up’ your side saladFrench maids, sailors serving up at eatery
When you walk into theMagnetic Café, you neverknow who will greet you.
It might be a French maid,schoolgirl, sailor, princess oreven a police officer.
A common sight in Tokyo,Japan’s cosplay (short for cos-tume play) has found its way toRichmond.
The idea of waitressesdressed in themed costumes isall the rage in restaurants andcafes across Asia.
“We are adding anotherelement to the whole diningexperience,” says MagneticCafé’s owner Angela Chang.“In Asia, especially Japan, thecute schoolgirl and the Frenchmaid are very popular outfitswith customers.”
But don’t expect a Hooters’style dress, said manager DonLui.
“It’s nothing close toHooters (servers in the sportsbar chain wear tight T-shirtsand short shorts),” Lui said.“Some people may find it con-troversial or demeaning, but itis far from that. It’s no differ-ent than other uniforms, exceptthat here we change the themeweekly.
“We want to keep it tastefulas we don’t want to attract thewrong crowd.”
Chang, mother of three-year-old son Devin, was a for-mer bartender and stay-at-homemom when the opportunity totake over the Gogo Tea Café onMcKim Way presented itself.
An immigrant from Taiwan,Chang was used to theme-stylerestaurants.
“It has a real following inAsia,” she said. “There are noother restaurants in Vancouverwho do this.”
The young businesswomantook over the 110-seat eateryon June 15th and went aboutrevamping the menu — addingsome new dishes and expand-ing the drink offerings — andhiring another chef.
“We now offer Thai,Japanese and Korean cuisine,”added Lui.
Although the former ownerwas responsible for the idea ofcosplay, Chang got rid of theformer costumes and went formore demure styles.
Chang said she has orderedmore uniforms. Customers willsoon see servers clad as nursesand flight attendants.
“We want to keep it very
respectable and tasteful,” shesaid.
All three servers, who lookas if they are teenagers butare in their 20s, speak littleEnglish. Nevertheless, they saythey have no problems dressingup in costumes.
“I really like the prettydresses and the differentstyles,” said Shirley Xu, whoworked for the previous owneras well. “My favourite is theprincess outfit.”
CK Li, who is fromMainland China, prefers don-ning the policewoman uniform.
Vicky Gao is familiar withthe cosplay idea, having seen itoften in Taipei eateries.
“I like the whole idea asI am interested in costumedesign and hope to one day bea fashion designer,” said Gao.
The abandoned dog, left fordead by a motorist after a hit andrun incident, has had a life-savingoperation — thanks to the gener-osity of Richmondites.
The News reported last weekhow Milo — a four-year-oldmale mastiff-shepherd — was hitjust south of Highway 99 past theWestminster Highway overpass.
Milo was in shock, and x-raysrevealed he suffered from a bro-ken left femoral — a compoundfracture that completely split thefemur into several pieces.
He desperately needed surgery
on his injuries and the RichmondAnimal Protection Society(RAPS), which was caring forhim, needed help to pay for the$2,000 procedure and 12 weeks ofrehab.
“I don’t have the total, butI do know that we’ve receivedmore than enough to pay forthe surgery,” said Sonya Kamp,Richmond Animal Shelter man-ager.
“We had a really big response,it’s been unbelievable and we’dlike to thank everyone who con-tacted us.”
Kamp told the News how Milowill now be spending many weeksin rehab and still needs round
the clock care at theshelter.
“He’s quite a bigdog and there’s a lotof weight on the bonethat’s been repaired sohe’ll take a while torecover,” she said.
“Milo’s quiteunderweight, but Ithink he’s feelingbetter every day andthere’s been a big dif-ference in his behav-iour. But he’s still ona lot of pain medication and he’llneed time to get over what he’sbeen through.”
Despite being abandoned and
his recent trauma,staff at the shelterdescribe Milo ashaving a “sweet andgentle personality.”
Shelter staff havemade extensiveinquires, withoutsuccess, to find theowner of the dog.
In addition, thedriver who hit thedog fled the scene,and did not report theincident.
Donations to RAPS can bemade online at www.rapsociety.com or by calling the RichmondAnimal Shelter at 604-275-2036.

Have yoursay onlineIf you’re a busy person who
doesn’t have time to attend anopen house on the city’s officialcommunity plan but have strongopinions on things like cycling,affordable housing, densification,addictions, greenspace, publictransportation, and the use of agri-cultural land, then click here: www.LetsTALKrichmond.ca.
City hall has launched a newonline town hall forum on the city’sofficial community plan, and a par-allel 10-year social planning policy.
The new discussion forum isintended to augment the feedbackthe city will get at open houses.
It combines an online survey onthe OCP and a separate survey onthe city’s new 10-year social plan,with a comments blog that allowscitizens to respond to survey ques-tions, make recommendations andeven engage in a dialogue withother citizens.
The first comment posted onthe new discussion forum forsocial planning was from someoneexpressing dismay that the plan’soverview did not mention peoplewith disabilities.
“It’s a fair comment,” says JohnHunter, the city’s social planner. It’sthat kind of feedback the city wantsto hear.
“This will improve the qualityof public debate and ultimatelythe strategic decisions we make onbehalf of the Richmond commu-nity,” says Terry Crowe, Manager,Policy Planning. “The biggest ben-efit (is) a larger group of citizenscan get involved when it’s conve-nient to them — online, anytime.”

NewsRezoning: Storage allowedrezoning was approvedand will now go forwardto Monday’s full council,where it’s expected to berubber-stamped.
The company’s neigh-bours are livid about therezoning because Quadrais one of several RiverRoad properties finedby the city for repeatedinfractions of local zoningbylaws by carrying outcommercial storage onagricultural land.
Nevertheless, MayorMalcolm Brodie said afterMonday night’s hearingthat the trucks need to bestored somewhere.
“They felt there is abetter use for the property... however, it has beensupported by city councilthroughout because we doneed areas for truck stor-age,” Brodie said.
“Trucks along the prop-erty are used for haulingagricultural products.”
The News reported lastmonth how city council’splanning committee tenta-
tively approved the rezon-ing that will legitimize along-standing illegal useof land zoned for agricul-ture on River Road.
Stephen Easterbrook,owner of Rabbit RiverFarms — an organic eggproducer – was one of theangry neighbours.
“The city council, in my
opinion, everything east ofNo. 6 Road is just a ghettoto them, and they’re goingto dump all the problemsthat they don’t want in therest of Richmond into thisarea,” Easterbrook said atthe time
The strip of River Roadeast of No. 6 Road wherethe properties are have amongrel zoning.
The land was removed
from the Agricultural LandReserve years ago, withthe intention of creating anew agricultural-industrialzone, but that never hap-pened.
Other property owners,including Quadra, havebeen using their land forcommercial truck storage.
The city turned a blindeye to the operationsfor years, but increasedcomplaints about themforced the city to crackdown by handing outfines for violating zon-ing and weight restric-tions on trucks usingthe road.
Apart from the gen-eral illegality of the
operations, and the lossof agriculturally zonedland, Easterbrook and oth-ers who live on acreagesalong River Road are con-cerned about River Roaditself because it’s a narrow,rural road that was neverdesigned for heavy trucktraffic.

The City of Richmondis preparing to broaden thecriteria for dipping into its“emergency response provi-sion” to cope with majorevents such as the DoverPark shootings and the apart-ment building plane crash.
At present, there is $1.6million in the emergencyfund for the RCMP’s use,which has never been usedsince its inception in 2000to deal with city-wide emer-gency events.
But the city now wants toextend the use of the fund tocover a wider interdisciplin-
ary response, with a var-ity of emergency personnelresponding.
The report placed beforecity council’s general pur-poses committee Mondaystated that tweaking theterms of using the fundwould, “address such eventsas the shooting at DoverPark, the Richmond Inn fireand the plane crash into theapartment building on SabaRoad.”
It was also stated that anemergency event in the citycan cost more than half amillion dollars in unexpected
and unbudgeted expenses.The new term for using thefund would also includeexpenses from emergencyprograms and emergencysocial service expenses notcompensated for by the pro-vincial government.
Many city departments
are called on in the eventof a major emergency andsuch departments could alsoaccess the fund to coverunforeseen costs such asequipment repairs, long-termattendance at emergencyscenes and on-scene emer-gency responder rehabilita-
tion needs.It is proposed that the
current fund be replenished,if and when needed, fromthe city’s annual operatingsurplus.
The report added thateach department wouldbe able to streamline their
budgets and not have toincorporate a contingency forunanticipated events.
City council approvedthe staff recommendationto broaden the terms of useof the emergency fund. Thedecision will go before fullcouncil next week.
Rule change allows more fingers to dip emergency pot
Builders: Keen on solarContinued from page 1
BY EDDY LOKSpecial to the News City to broaden access to fund to cope with major unexpected events such as a plane crash
added at the constructionstage — estimated to be nomore than $200 to $300 perhome.
City staff have consultedwith two local building traderepresentatives, who were, ingeneral, in favour of the newregulation as they see it as anadditional selling feature inthe home as well as promot-ing future sustainability.
“The … solar hotwater ready regulation inRichmond is a relatively low-cost initiative that will help
support achieving the city’scommunity wide greenhousegas reduction targets,” Woosaid in his report.
Any new regulationbrought in by the provincewould apply only to partici-pating cities and to buildingscontaining no more than onedwelling, excluding second-ary suites. As well as usingless non-renewable energysources, the solar-poweredhot water systems poten-tially cost less to run for thehomeowner than the conven-tional electric or gas-poweredoptions.

“It’s just one more arrow in our quiver,” says Hunter,who said the online forum will not replace traditionalforms of gathering public input.
The new OCP looks out to 2041. Parallel to that processis the new 10-year social plan, which the city has neverdone before.
More and more, the city is finding that citizens look tocity hall when it comes to many social issues, includingthose that are the responsibility of senior governments.
“One of the key concerns for the city is that we’re thelevel of government closest to the people but in terms ofresources, of every dollar collected (in taxes) eight centsgoes to local government, and 92 goes to the province andfeds,” Hunter said.
He said that means the city has to be strategic aboutwhere it spends its money and how it works with localsocial agencies.
Hunter said the city social plan will cover topics likechild care, affordable housing, homelessness, seniors issuesand cultural diversity and inclusion.
The LetsTALKrichmond.ca forum will be moderated,so citizens are urged to be civil in their postings. Thenew forum will be up for three months on a trial basis.Depending on its success, it may be used for other issues.

Steve and Mary Fox, from St Louis, Missouri, picked up some interesting reading while vacationing andtaking in the sights at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. The hotel was built in 1909 and was the inspira-tion for Stephen King’s novel The Shining. Although Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 movie starring Jack Nicholson wasfilmed in Mt. Hood, Oregon and Pinewood Studios in England, the 1997 TV mini-series produced by StephenKing was filmed at the Stanley. Also filmed at the hotel was Jim Carrey’s 1994 hit Dumb and Dumber. The hotel isreputed to be haunted and has been featured on the TV series Ghost Hunters on Sci-Fi Channel.

In the Fifth at MaloryTowers by Enid Blyton.Review by Annabelle, age9.
This book is aboutwhat happens in a board-ing school called MaloryTowers.
The main character is agirl named Darrell.
Her best friend is Sally.
They are in the fifthform at the girls onlyschool.
I like this book becausethere are a lot of booksabout Malory Towers, andeach book is about a dif-ferent form.
The girls always playfunny tricks on theirFrench mistress.
There are mysteriesthey need to solve as well.In this book, the fifthformers need to come upwith a pantomime!
There is also swim-ming, tennis and lacrossematches that the girlscompete in, and problemsthat they face.
Welcome to the DeadHouse by R.L.Stine
Review by Neelam, age10.
This book is aboutto give you a fright!From the thrilling seriesGoosebumps, two kidsnamed Amanda and Joshhave just moved into theweirdest house on theblock.
As they set out to findkids their age, they uncov-er a deadly secret behindthe town that will foreverchange them. I liked thisbook because it gives youthe creeps.
You guess what’s goingto happen next, but thenthe author will twist theplot up.
I have read almost thewhole series but this bookwas one of the scariest inGoosebumps.
I would recommendthis book to kids in Grades4 and up.
Charlotte’s Web by E.B.White.
Review by Tamara, age10.
This book is about asmall pig named Wilbursaved from being killed bya farmer.
The farmer’s daughterlovingly saved him andtook care of him until hegot too big and had to besold.
At the second farm,Wilbur met a female spi-
der named Charlotte, whotaught him about loyalty,friendship and life.
I liked this bookbecause it showed me howfriends are there for eachother, and how strong afriendship can be.
No matter how big, howsmall, or how you look,you can be anybody’sfriend.

Dream. Challenge. Achieve.Not every one of the young athletes who will be showing
their best form in the BC Summer Games being hosted bythe Township of Langley this weekend will go on to becomeOlympians and Paralympians.
Some may never again be involved in tournaments outsidetheir home towns.
But they all were able to dream. They were able to dream ofbeing good enough to join some of B.C.’s top rising stars on thetrack, in the pool, on the field, on the court… and if they neverhave an opportunity to compete at this level again, they are real-izing those dreams this weekend.
Not every one of those young athletes will come away fromthis weekend’s challenges with a gold medal. Some will leavewith no medals at all – just a lifetime worth of memories thatthey faced their challenges, met them head on, and did the bestthey could do.
For some, meeting the challenge was the biggest thingthey’ve done so far in their young lives – and for all, it will be agrowing experience.
Every one will achieve something.For some, their achievements this weekend will put them onto
a road that leading to greater competition, perhaps at national orinternational levels.
But for all of these youngsters, the BC Summer Games willhelp them achieve something bigger than the sports they arecompeting in – something bigger than the Games themselves.From this time forward, they will know that they can dream, thatthey can face a challenge, and that by doing so, they can achievetheir dreams.

One of the more irritat-ing aspects of our parlia-mentary system is thatthe role of the officialOpposition is often illdefined. It’s not just aboutopposing everything thegovernment does.
But too often Oppositionparties do just that —oppose everything — and ifthey take a holier-than-thoustance on everything, it cancome back to bite themshould they ever move intogovernment.
We are seeing thatmaxim play out continu-ally with the B.C. Liberalgovernment. The issues onwhich they can be accusedof hypocrisy — saying anddemanding one thing whilein Opposition and doing theprecise opposite in govern-ment — are piling up.
The latest reminder isthe decision to expand gov-ernment gaming operations– yet again — to includeonline casino gambling.
The move makes sense,although it will be con-demned by the puritans outthere, who regard any kindof gambling as some sortof social evil that should beeradicated, not expanded.
Gambling will occurwhether the government isinvolved in it or not, so themore the government cancontrol gambling, the better.
The gaming industry cre-ates enormous revenues for“the house,” and the billiondollars or so B.C. collectsevery year helps fund socialservices, education andhealth care.
But this argumentseemed to have been loston B.C. Liberals when they
were in Opposition. Theyengaged in bouts of self-righteous indignation when-ever the NDP governmentof the day tried to expandgambling (for instance,the introduction of slotmachines and the creationof more casinos).
With the zealotry ofreligious fanatics, GordonCampbell and his caucusattacked the NDP as immor-al monsters hell-bent ondestroying our social fabric.Naturally, once they becamegovernment, the B.C.Liberals learned to lovegambling and the money tobe made off it.
Now they stand accused,yet again, of rank hypocrisyon this issue.
But spare them no tears,because there are otherexamples of hypocrisy thatare attached to a govern-ment because of the unre-alistic moral high groundit carves out when it is inOpposition.
For example, the B.C.Liberals also went to townover what it viewed as a hei-nous amount of public debtbeing piled up by the NDPgovernment. Our children— and our children’s chil-dren! — would inevitablypay for this fiscal nonsense,was the constant refrainfrom the Liberals.
Government serviceswould naturally be squeezed
by the mounting debt. Or sothe argument went.
Then there’s granddaddyof them all: an oft-repeatedpromise not to sell B.C.Rail, and then doing justthat in a questionable trans-action (to say the least,given there is a criminaltrial mixed up with it).
Piling up the hypocrisybegins to lend a stench toa government. Throw inthe perceived deceitful-ness associated with theHST, and the air is gettingfairly ripe around the B.C.Liberals right now.
Will New Democratslearn a lesson from this?With electoral victory in2013 seeming more likelyby the day, the NDP wouldbe wise to resist the temp-tation of cloaking them-selves with moral piety, ofpretending everything ingovernment is so simple,and that everything the B.C.Liberals do these days ishorrible.
NDP leader CaroleJames has smartly backedaway from automaticallyscrapping the HST. And theNDP hasn’t exactly said itwill forgo any of the gam-bling expansion either.
The NDP will need toprovide some coherent,credible alternative policiesto the Liberals. But if theyoverplay their hand, andmake unrealistic statementslike the B.C. Liberals didbefore they formed govern-ment, New Democrats mayfind themselves a one-termadministration only.
Keith Baldrey is chiefpolitical reporter for GlobalB.C.
The Editor,Re: “City council squabbles over $2 million surplus,”
News, July 7.When I read this article, I was truly flabbergasted.
According to staff writer Alan Campbell, on July 5, city coun-cillors spent almost three hours discussing “who gets whatand how much from the City of Richmond’s surplus cash.”
Yet, in my recent property tax document, circulated by thecity, it was stated that the property tax increase for 2011 isonly 3.45 per cent, claiming that this is one of the lowest taxincreases amongst the Lower Mainland municipalities.
Upon reading the above-mentioned article, a questionsprang to my mind.
If there was indeed a $2.2 million surplus, when the infla-tion rate has been hovering around 1.6 per cent for the lastthree or more years, why on earth would the city not returnthe surplus to its rightful owners — tax payers — by reducingthe annual increase? Why would they rather waste their valu-able time by squabbling about what to do with that surplus?Apparently, neither any city staff nor council members men-tioned anything about this as a viable option.
Today, when I called the city finance department, the per-son who took the call was unable to answer this question anddirected me to write to someone (?) in city hall.
Thus, this letter. I surely hope fellow citizens ask the samequestions and we receive a reasonable explanation, if there isone, from appropriate officials.

Arm yourself with energy factsENERGY
The Editor,Re: “Energy debate just getting started,”
Letters, June 30.Letter writer Ramblin’ Ryan Lake pres-
ents a highly distorted and misleading pic-ture of B.C.’s energy sector.
For starters, BC Hydro is not beingprivatized as Mr. Lake claims. In fact,the crown utility is stronger than ever andgrowing rapidly.
As Richmond News columnist KeithBaldrey wrote a couple of months ago,“total capital spending by BC Hydro willhit more than $15 billion over the nextdecade,” part of a multi-billion dollar rein-vestment in the province’s core hydroelec-tric generating infrastructure built in the1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
As Baldrey went on to say, “This isa staggering amount of money, and isproof the Ccrown corporation is not beingmothballed or even downgraded by theprovincial government, as the ideologicallydriven opponents of private power projectsinsist.”
Mr. Lake’s letter leads us to believethat Mr. Lake is among “the ideologicallydriven opponents of private power proj-
ects,” which is truly unfortunate given theenormous need for renewable clean energyhere in B.C. and beyond.
However, the ideological viewpointexhibited by Mr. Lake is not all that sur-prising considering the massive misin-formation campaign that has been wagedagainst independent green energy produc-ers for the past several years by groupsand individuals closely associated withthe COPE 378 union that represents BCHydro’s thousands of public sector employ-ees.
Rather than falling victim to misinfor-mation and narrow ideology on this impor-tant subject, I would encourage readersof the Richmond News to arm themselveswith accurate information and seek out thefacts for themselves.
For anyone wishing to explore the ques-tion of green energy in B.C. further, infor-mation is available on our BCCGE website(www.greenenergybc.ca <http://www.greenenergybc.ca> ) and on our BCCGELivewire Blog.

More fond memories of Empire StadiumLast week we featured the winning entry in our Fondest Memories of Empire Stadium contest. This week, we are pleased to present submissions from the runners-up. Once again, thank you to everyone who participated.
From Janice Bobic, Burnaby:I remember the first BC Lions football game I went to at the
Empire Stadium, in 1958 I believe, when I was 10 years old. I satwith my mom, dad and sister on the grassy hill on the north side on apleasant sunny evening. As we were sitting there, eagerly anticipatingthe start of the game, suddenly some jets came screaming overheaddirectly over the stadium from the north. I began screamingfrantically, trying to hide under my dad’s arm, and crying, “They’regoing to drop bombs on us!” Dad said, “No, no, no, that’s part ofthe show.” My fear gradually subsided and I recovered from this“trauma” as the football game started, and excitement took over asthe players ran out while the announcer called their names.
I remember Willie Fleming — how he could run — and hewas the family favourite. In a subsequent year, we received someoriginal numbered photographs autographed by Willie Fleming andthe other Lions players. Also we received another set of photosof autographed pictures, individually numbered, with corporatesponsors printed on the backs. I still have all these photos, andeventually plan to sell them by auction.
I was there at Empire Stadium when the Beatles came toVancouver, and Diana Ross and the Supremes opened the show withtheir metallic gold skinny dresses flashing in the lights. My sisterand I were sitting on the northeast bleachers, but with all the girlsscreaming throughout the whole show, we never heard a bit of theBeatles’ music. As we were heading out after the show, our momand auntie were waiting, standing outside the stadium door whenthe Beatles ran right in front of them making their getaway from thestadium.
From Gordon Lew, New WestminsterIn the late seventies/early eighties, as a little kid, I was just
learning to love and understand the game of CFL football, the onlysport that my Dad watched ever since arriving in Canada. We wouldwatch all the games, especially the Lions on TV, but we could notafford to buy tickets to watch them at Empire Stadium.
Soon, they had a promotion where you could go get freeadmission into Empire Stadium if you presented a Nalley’s chip bag
or box. I remember going down to the Woodward’s Food Floor withmy Dad to buy our Nalley’s chips, and then using it to watch theLions games. I remember sitting in the end zone on a hard parkbench, on the north end of the stadium, but I did not care as we werewatching the Lions live. I remember many kids behind the bencheswhere we were sitting playing their own game of football on the grasswith a Nerf football, having a great time. They probably missed halfthe game!
There were a lot of dads with their kids there. There were sunnydays, rainy days (too many) and many cold nights. In the winter, Iremember my dad would always buy me a hot chocolate in the thirdquarter, just before the concession stand behind us would close, sothat I would make it OK to the end of the game.
I remember watching and idolizing many exciting players: LeonBright, Larry Key, Joe Paopao, Glen Jackson, Larry Crawford,Lui Passaglia — so many great players andso many exciting games. But my favouritememory of Empire Stadium was having mydad bring me down to the stadium to watchthe games with him, father and son hangingout together watching the Lions.
From Leslie Cummings, Delta:My fondest memory of Empire Stadium is
back in the mid-’50s when I was about nineyears old. My dad and his friend were goingto a BC Lions football game and I asked if Icould go, too. My dad looked surprised thathis little girl would want to go to a footballgame, but after just a moment’s hesitation, hesaid, “Yes!”
Of course I knew nothing about football,but it was simply the fact that I got a “date”with my dad when my two sisters had to stayhome with Mom. I remember feeling sogrown-up watching the game with these twomen, but the real excitement was to come
when the game was over.Dad had bought me a drink during the game, but I didn’t know
what to do with the paper cup. I didn’t see a garbage can anywhere,so as we were walking out among the crowd, I just tossed my cupinto the air ahead of me. It hit a man on the back of his head and hestopped, turned around and said, “Hello!” to no one in particular.
My dad and his friend stopped in their tracks, looking horrified!I thought I was really in for it, but suddenly they both startinglaughing like crazy. Dad said to me, “Do you know who you just hiton the head with that cup?” “No,” I answered, feeling terrible aboutthe entire thing. Dad told me, “That was Ted Reynolds!”
For those who might not know, Ted Reynolds was one of the mostfamous local sports broadcasting legends who, sadly, passed awaylast year at the age of 84. I don’t know if he ever remembered beinghit on the head at that game, but I know that I’ll never forget it.
BC Lions fans are once more creating fond memories of Empire Stadium as they flock tothe outdoor stadium that is the Lions’ home field this season. Photo courtesy BC Lions

The Editor,Re: “Abandoned dog
needs help,” News, July 16.I was very pleased to find
an article about the needs ofMilo, a four-year-old aban-doned mastiff-shepherd.
I’m elated to find that, inyour own way, you’re helpingthis defenseless dog and ask-ing for support.
I was less impressed,however, with your classifiedsection, with its ad for thesale of puppies at a local pet
store.You may not be aware
of this, but this is a way ofpromoting ongoing animalcruelty. Animals that comefrom pet stores come frompuppy mills.
Puppy mills mass-producepuppies for individual sale.
Thousands of puppy millsaren’t even regulated orinspected by the USDA (U.S.Department of Agriculture.)Dogs used for breeding suf-fer continuously from being
locked in small crampedcages with their own feacesand other bodily filth.
These animals are forcedto breed litter after litter untilthey can no longer repro-duce.

The Editor,Re: “Wong a no-show at
parade,” Letters, July 16.In response to Mr.
Beauvais’ letter, I wouldlike to inform the citizens ofRichmond that I was out ofthe country on July 1 on offi-cial government business.
I had been asked onrather short notice by boththe Ministry of Citizenshipand Immigration and theMinistry of Foreign Affairsto represent Canada at ahigh level conference of theOrganization for Securityand Co-operation in Europe(OSCE). This conferencefocused on tolerance andnon-discrimination in theinternational community, val-ues that Canadians are notedfor world wide. While there,I had the opportunity as key-
note speaker to address thedelegates at several plenarysessions and emphasize ourstance on promoting mutualrespect and understandingthrough inter-cultural andinter-religious dialogue.
As the conference was inKazakhstan on June 29 and30, I was unable to partici-pate in the annual SalmonFestival. However, upon myreturn to Richmond, I hosteda belated Canada Day eventfor new Canadian citizens.
I will be spending thesummer here in Richmondmeeting constituents, listen-ing to their concerns, andaddressing their needs. Ihave found this to be one ofthe best ways to “wave theCanadian flag.”

Wendy Wade-Maxwelltaught herself seven Italianarias from Shakespeare’sfamous tragedy Macbeth.That was a breeze com-pared to pretending to washblood off one’s hands whilesleepwalking.
The classically trainedopera singer said thatfamous scene from theopera about regicide (thekilling of a monarch) andits aftermath was a bit moredaunting.
“It’s requires a littlemore animation and stagingthan simply singing,” saysthe 49-year-old Stevestonresident. The singer is partof the Opera Pro Cantani(OPC), a 30-member pri-vate repertory company,which over the last threeyears has staged full operasnearly every weekend atVancouver’s Cambrian Hall.
“OPC gives amateur and
semi-professional singersan opportunity to performseveral operas each sea-son,” said Wade-Maxwell.“I trained for 14 weeksentirely by myself andstudied all seven arias thatLady Macbeth sings … youhave to be extremely disci-plined.”
Since Macbeth hit thestage, she has donned herburgandy velvet dress —which she bought on EBay— and sang solos as LadyMacbeth twice now.
Frustrated by the lack ofoperatic opportunities, sheheard about the OPC anddecided to check them out.
“Last year, I saw a sum-mer performance and I soenjoyed it that in SeptemberI decided to join,” she said.“You don’t get paid as aperformer and you makeyour own costumes, but it isso rewarding and fun.
“People join golf coursesor they join boating clubs,why? For the same reason I
joined an opera troupe, thisis a hobby and I get suchpleasure in singing.”
Each week, Wade-Maxwell alternates betweenperforming as LadyMacbeth and the FirstWitch.
“It’s lots of fun as one ofthe witches,” she said, add-ing the three witches wearlayers upon layers of blackcloth and a veil on theirfaces. “While we hover infront of the cauldron, look-ing scary, we conjure upstuff.
“As one of the witches,I’m on stage for the fullperformance. At the end, Igo home and soak my tiredfeet.”
She said she didn’t ini-tially set out to become anopera singer.
Growing up in Ontario,she studied ballet, tap, jazz,as well as the piano andguitar.
“I also studied voice,completing my RoyalConservatory of MusicGrade 9 and achieved firstclass honours,” Wade-Maxwell said.
Then, at 14 she startedher musical career playingthe organ for a communitytheatre troupe in Kitwe,Zambia.
However, years passedbefore she would ever gracethe stage as an opera singer.
At the ripe old age of 35,Wade-Maxwell took operavoice lessons.
“I was living in Torontothen and I auditioned for acommunity opera group andto my surprise I got the leadpart,” she said. “I realized Iwas actually good at it.”
Yet, don’t pigeonholeWade-Maxwell.
Her voice carries herseamlessly from one genreto another, including operato country, rock to jazz as
well as Broadway hits.Over the years, Wade-
Maxwell has performedat numerous venues,everything from opera andoperatta, musical theatre toconcerts and has recordedthree CDs. Her last one,Noteworthy, is a compila-tion of her favourites fromthe Last Millennium, classi-cal and Broadway pieces.
“I also sing in a coun-try rock band called WildPaliminos and sing and playpiano for a rock/jazz band,Lewis and Wade,” she saidwith a laugh. “It’s actuallyfun to stretch yourself as asinger because each genreoffer something uniquelydifferent for me.”
She recently sang duringthe 2nd Annual RichmondArts Centre Awards at CityHall and more recently dur-ing the Canada Day celebra-tions in Steveston.
When she’s not on stage,Wade-Maxwell works forthe Mark Anthony Group asan executive assistant.
“I do opera because it’smy passion,” she said. “IfI could sing full time andmake money at it, I’d ditchmy day job.
“I absolutely love it.”Her next challenge will
be performing in OPC’sproduction of the operaparody, Norma, openingthis fall.
“I’m looking forward toit, it will be a big role forme,” she said.
Opera Pro Cantanicelebrates its 100th per-formance on Sunday, July25 with Macbeth at 7 p.m.at Vancouver’s CambrianHall, 215 East 17th Avenue.For more information, call604-646-0406 or visit www.procantini.com.

India turns on the jets to capture Nations CupPerennial powerhouse relies on youth and speed to defeat Ireland for first open division title in four years
India turned to speed and youth to getback to the top of the podium at the 31stannual Nations Cup.
Parity has been the theme in the 16-teamOpen Division of the popular summer soc-cer tournament, with eight different cham-pions in as many years. India last liftedthe cup in 2006 and longtime coach BindyBraich transformed his line-up with anemphasis on attacking with pace.
The strategy worked as India’s younglegs produced a 1-0 win over Ireland inSunday’s championship game played infront of an estimated 3,000 fans at the HughBoyd Oval.
“These young kids have loads of pas-sion and drive,” said Braich, who has beencoaching the Indian team for the past 16years and now has four titles to his credit.“We had some guys who had probably beenaround too long and this time we went withyounger legs.
“We didn’t have a lot of time to put thisteam together but it was very competitive.All these players are from university andcollege programs and were selected by goodcoaches which makes my job easier.”
India’s sizzling pace made them extreme-ly dangerous in transition, especially on theflanks. Still, the Irish defended well andprobably enjoyed the better opportunities inthe final half. That’s where India relied onits lone veteran presence in the starting 11— former Vancouver Whitecap goalkeeperDidar Sandhu. He kept the penalty area tidy,made a couple key saves and even raced out
of the box to alertly head away a potentialbreakaway ball. His play set the staged forthe game winner as a counterattack resultedin a corner and right back Jason Gill snuckin to the far post to head the ball home withfive minutes remaining, sending a pro-Indiacrowd into a frenzy.
“It’s awesome playing these guys inthe final,” smiled Sandhu who is a formerteammate of a number of Ireland playersduring one of his stops in the VancouverMetro Soccer League. The key today wasbeating them with our youth. We had youngguys up front with a lot of speed and ourplan was to keep running at them and tireout their old guys on the backline.
“I’ve been playing on and off (in thistournament) for the last 15 years and it’sreally tough. There’s a lot of great playerscoming up and teams are making changesall the time to try and keep up with oneanother. Our average age this year wasabout 24 so we have a great future too.”
Corner Kicks...• India’s road to the final was not an easy
one. It won its group by scoring one moregoal than Croatia after both teams finishedwith identical points. It then needed penal-ties to get past Portugal in the semi-finals.
• Canada continued its dominance inthe Women’s Division, capturing its fourthstraight title with a 2-0 win over England.Other division finals included Scotland cap-turing the Over 30s crown with a 1-0 winover Germany.
China took the Under 38 title by slippingpast India 1-0. Scotland added another titleat the Over 45 level with a 2-0 win againstCanada.

Nohr and Sekhon team up to leadX-Falcons to another Dolphin title
It was only fitting theDolphin Park BasketballClassic celebrated its 25thanniversary with two ofits biggest stars in the pastdecade putting on anothershow.
With the annual hypetypically directed towardswhat high-profile Americantalent may find its way tothe Thompson CommunityCentre outdoor courts, itwas a couple of B.C. boysthat act and play like broth-ers who walked away withall the hardware.
Randy Nohr and NaviSekhon teamed up to leadthe X-Falcons to theirfourth title in five years,this time with a 64-53 winover Athelite before anotheroverflow crowd on a glori-ous Sunday night for somesummer hoops.
Nohr, the 33-year-oldsilky smooth guard, put on aclinic with his no look pass-ing and composure going tothe basket. When he wasn’tscoring he was typicallyfinding Sekhon, who at 35,is still one of the province’smost lethal offensive play-ers.
Their special chemistrygoes beyond the court asSekhon happens to be mar-ried to Nohr’s cousin.
“I know it throws a lot ofpeople off when we say weare related,” laughed Nohr, aformer CIS national tourna-ment MVP who continuesto play at a high level forthe B.C. Titans. “We spenda lot of time together asfamilies and we bring outthe best of each other on thebasketball court.”
The pair are lethal withthe transition game whichis such a big part of the X-Falcons’ success.
“I know when he getsthe ball, what he wants meto do,” added Sekhon whoearned all-star honours. “Ijust know where he is goingto throw it. It’s just a naturalthing having played withhim for so long now.
“I think everyone is get-ting sick and tired of see-ing Randy Nohr and NaviSekhon (on the awardslist).”
Athelite did manage tokeep it close until the earlystages of the second halfthanks to the explosive-ness of reigning CIS Playerof the Year Josh Whyte ofthe UBC Thunderbirds.However, every time they
looked poised to make arun, the X-Falcons hadanswer with Nohr typicallyproviding the damage.
“I’ve played a lot ofbasketball, over in Europeand with the national teamand this is still one of myfavourites events to play,”said Nohr. “You get to playin front of a lot of peopleand four-on-four providesso much space. The flow of
the game is so good. It’s justa lot of fun, especially theway I like to play.”
The night of nostalgiaincluded slam dunk legendJosh Masters winning his11th title and first since2007. He clinched it with aflying dunk over the score-keeper’s table that includedtwo kids laying down on it.Athelite’s Arman Heran wonhis third straight three-point
shooting contest.It was also a big night
for the Watson family asLeanne led her U.S. Eh teamto the tournament’s first-ever women’s title with awin over the 80’s Babies inthe final. She then watchedher younger brother Kylehelp the X-Falcons take themen’s title. Both were starsat McMath secondary.
