REVIEW the richmond Tall ships are coming to Steveston

Oval users can run through Vegas or take orders from a virtual instructor

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

The Richmond Olympic Oval has unveiled its new 23,000-square-foot high-tech fi tness centre, boasting three times more space than its pre-Games format.

Now open to the public, the cen-tre is outfi tted with state-of-the-art strength and cardio equipment—arranged for ability—with the fi nal pieces being installed this summer.

“What’s unique is how we prog-ress from beginner to intermedi-ate,” said Angela Straker, assistant manager for fi tness and athletic services. “If (beginners) don’t want to venture down to our intermedi-ate and high-performance area, they don’t have to.”

The WiFi-equipped centre will have 21 fl at screen TVs, and almost every one of the cardio machines in the centre will have its own TV or iPod connection. The oval is big on technology, Straker said, giving reluctant joggers a “distraction” and fi tness freaks ways to make workouts more fun.

The Expresso bike, for example, mimics a video game. It’s equipped with movable handlebars and a video screen to simulate a bike ride on a real course. Similarly, tread-mills allow users to run through Hawaii, the Grand Canyon or even Las Vegas.

Arriving soon are video panels for the centre’s spin bikes, offering us-ers their own virtual instructor.

“It’s like a virtual spinning class

where there’s over 100 differ-ent programs that members can choose from. So if they’re either intimidated or not quite ready for a spinning class, they can come up here with a headset and individu-ally do their own workout.”

The centre features six distinct workout areas: circuit training, strength machines, free weights, a stretching/core area, cardio and high performance.

New is an area equipped with machines suitable for beginners, and the Freedom Climber: a ro-tating rock climbing wall unique to the Lower Mainland. There will also be equipment that caters to people with disabilities and limited abilities—from wheelchair users to those who are rehabilitating an injury.

The high-performance area fea-tures hydraulic training equipment reserved for developing athletes or sports teams with high-perfor-mance athletes.

Still to come is a lounge seating area and a unique sound system.

“Each workout area can have different music playing, so we can have a fi tness class in one area, say with dance music, and we can have, say heavy metal, in our plate loaded area if we chose to do that,” said Straker.

Meanwhile, crews are complet-ing work on the oval’s activity fl oor. Oval spokesperson Aran Kay said composite sport courts will open in early August, offer-ing the largest continuous court in the world of its kind. Six hard-wood courts will soon open to the public and in September two international size ice rinks will be ready.

The facility also boasts a spin-ning/rowing room, indoor rowing

tank, kinesis room, fi tness studios and child minding.

Kay said the oval’s variety of ac-tivity offerings, quality of equip-ment and a motivating atmosphere make it unique.

“This is an Olympic facility, every-thing about it is Olympic. There’s some great memories we have from here, and it’s also one of the most environmentally sustain-able buildings in the world. Those things set us apart.”

Feedback to the city included praise for Dutch bikes and cranberriesby Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

The O Zone was too loud, the beer tent closed early and bicycles imported from Holland were “awe-some.”

One of every five e-mails to the city’s website during the Winter Games concerned the Olympics, according to records obtained through a Freedom of Information request. A total of 82 e-mails offer a sampling of public feedback while the city hosted the biggest event in its history.

Among those who offered com-plaints, noise at the O Zone was No. 1. During the Games, staged from Feb. 12 to 28, the celebra-tion site hosted nightly concerts at Minoru Park.

“I understand this is the Olympics, but...the music literally pounds into my bedroom. Simply turn down some of the volume,” wrote one resident, whose name was removed from the documents. “I am also awaken when Heineken House empties at 2 a.m.”

Another resident suggested the loud music drifted to Richmond Hospital and was a health hazard.

“Shame on Richmond council for the total disregard for the local residents’ rights to a reasonable expectation of peace and quiet.”

One Steveston household com-plained their children couldn’t sleep because of the noise.

“I don’t feel enough is being done to limit the noise and cannot imagine how those living in cen-tral Richmond are able to cope,” reads the e-mail. “I guess the noise bylaws only apply to certain peo-ple, during certain events, at cer-tain times.”

Other complaints dealt with O Zone access and traffic. But one resident just wanted to know how to get a bike used by Holland Heineken House employees.

“I saw these cool blue and yel-low Dutch bikes zooming around the city. I recently had my beloved bicycle...stolen and I can’t afford a decent replacement.”

Others offered appreciation for the O Zone and its exhibitions, which included a massive cranber-ry display at Brighouse Park.

“My absolute favourite was the cranberry reflecting pond art instal-lation. I thought it was brilliant and literally ‘reflective’ of Richmond’s true roots in farming.”

Beer venues, which included the Holland Heineken House at Minoru Arenas and a beer tent inside the O Zone, also proved popular. So much so, one resident complained Feb. 13 when the Richmond RCMP apparently shut down the tent early.

“I was with foreign visitors who could not comprehend why the police would close a peaceful venue with no reason. I was com-pletely embarrassed on behalf of my city.”

Over the 17 days of the Games and the Olympic torch relay cele-bration, the city estimates 500,000 people visited the O Zone.

City spokesperson Ted Townsend

acknowledged the noise was too loud for many residents.

“There was a lot of complaints—it was loud. Those people in the immediate area felt it was unbear-ably loud at times. Unfortunately, once we were into the festival situ-ation, there wasn’t a lot we could do about that,” he said.

The city worked to lessen the impact by positioning equipment and maintaining the 11 p.m. clos-ing time, but Townsend said the

volume couldn’t simply be turned down. He said the high-end sound equipment had to perform at high volume to function effectively—and some bands even demanded it in their contracts.

Townsend said the city staged open houses before the Games to warn residents of the impact the O Zone would have, but acknowl-edged once the festival was under-way, the volume “exceeded every-body’s expectations.”

After the Games, city council told staff that noise would have to be better addressed before staging such an event again. The city did, however, receive plenty of compli-ments, said Townsend, including a letter from a resident who went to the O Zone every day with her 15-year-old son.

“At the end of every day, they’d come home and her son would say, ‘Mom, this is the best day of my life.’”

Matthew Hoekstra fi le photoThe O Zone attracted a large crowd Feb. 18 to watch Canada’s men’s hockey team play Switzerland, and to see Canadian band Our Lady Peace in concert.

Mounties release selection of excuses for not buckling up


Richmond RCMP offi-cers have heard plenty of excuses from drivers caught without wearing a seat-belt.

From “I just took it off,” to, “The strap hurts my neck,” those attempting to wriggle out of a $167 fine with such excuses are among the 1,696 local drivers awarded with tick-ets for various traffic vio-lations in May.

Other top excuses from motorists, according to an RCMP report presented to a city council commit-

tee Tuesday: “It was too tight,” “I was just reach-ing to grab something,” and “My baby’s milk bot-tle fell on the floor in the backseat.”

Some drivers opt for even more creativity: “I thought the rear passen-gers don’t need to wear seat-belts.”

According to statistics provided by ICBC, 5.2 per cent of motorists in B.C. aren’t buckling up. Males under age 25 are the least likely to wear a seatbelt.

ICBC also reports that between 2003 and 2007, 1,932 people were injured and 117 people were killed each year in B.C. where no restraint—from seat-belt to booster seat—was used.

Some of excuses were:•“I just drove from (over

there, my house)”•“I am going to (my

house, over there)”•“I forgot”•“I was just trying to

grab something”•“I just took it off”

•“I just left the gas sta-tion/parking lot/store and forgot to put it on”

•“I just live 6 blocks away”

•“It was too tight”•“I just had shoulder

surgery”•“The strap hurts my

neck”•“I thought the rear

passengers don’t need to wear seat-belts”

•“Sorry, I just took it off to reach for something in the backseat”

•“I had to undo my belt (just for a second) to get

my wallet out of my pock-et”

•“I unbuckled my belt because I saw you and I had to reach over to get my insurance”

•“My baby’s milk bottle fell on the floor in the backseat.”

Headcheese blamed for salmonella outbreak

A salmonella infection in B.C. that has put several people in hospital has been linked to Freybe-brand headcheese.

Freybe Gourmet Foods Ltd. has volun-tarily recalled the deli meat.

The B.C. Centre for Disease Control is urging anyone with headcheese in their fridge to either discard it or check with the retailer to determine if it came from Freybe.

The product, made with meat from the head of a pig combined with gelatine and spices, is commonly sliced and packaged by deli counter staff at stores so consum-ers may not know the brand.

Ten cases of the rare S. Chester strain of salmonella have been confirmed.

“The majority of infected people were elderly, and approximately half required hospitalization,” said Dr. Eleni Galanis of the BCCDC.

The only common link between the con-firmed patients is they ate headcheese, bought from various stores throughout the province from mid to late June.

Salmonella bacteria is naturally found in the intestines of animals, particularly poultry, cattle and swine, and can con-taminate meat, eggs, dairy products and raw fruits and vegetables.

Symptoms include stomach cramps, diarrhea, nausea, fever and headache. Most people recover without treatment.

Council approves move to sign agreement with organizing body


Richmond is less than one year away from hosting its second major tall ships event, which is expected to draw over 300,000 spectators to the shores of Steveston.

On Monday, city coun-cil gave the go-ahead to staff to finalize an agree-ment with the American Sail Training Association, which co-ordinates Tall Ships events in North America. Council has also released $500,000 to staff to begin orga-nizing what will be the city’s largest spectacle since the Olympics.

“It is a festival, it’s not just tall ships. There will be lots of entertainment and other activities,” said Ted Townsend, city spokesperson. “It is our hope that this time this will become a fixture [in Richmond].”

The event is scheduled

for June 3 to 7, 2011 in Steveston, from Garry Point Park to Britannia Heritage Shipyard.

ASTA will now recruit vessels to Richmond’s event. Townsend said the city is aiming to attract up to 24 tall ships of various classes,

along with other ships to round out the fleet.

In 2002, the last time Richmond hosted a tall ships event, specta-tors saw 30 ships—but not all were classically masted vessels.

What’s different this time around is ASTA is a stronger organization and better at recruiting ships, said Townsend. Richmond also has a longer time to orga-nize and boasts a good track record in hosting major events, Townsend added.

“With all the events that we’ve done since 2002, we’ve got a lot better capacity as a city to put on major events,” he said. “We’re hoping that it will be better in terms of the mix of activities that we have both on-shore and bet-ter in terms of the types of boats that we have here.”

The tall ships event will offer spectators a chance to board vessels and meet crews, which traditionally comprise young trainees under the guidance of pro-fessional captains and crew.

ASTA organizes a series of events for the tall ships each year—rotating between the East Coast, Great Lakes and West Coast. If the event is successful, the city hopes to continue to play host to Tall Ships every three years.

The city will now work to determine the event’s scope and line up spon-sors.

In 2002, tall ships attracted 400,000 spectators. The 2011 installment will charge an admission fee, but that has yet to be deter-mined.

City council has unanimously approved a new plan of attack on snow geese.

The plan, approved Monday, allows staff to use air pistols, lasers and mili-tary-grade lights to scare the birds away from parks. Staff are also drafting a list of dog-handlers-on-call to regularly patrol parks.

Farmers in southwest Richmond will also be offered cash to grow winter cover crops that would attract feed-

ing geese and keep them away from unwanted sites. The city will also help fund a cover crop program already underway in Delta—to lure geese to Westham Island and away from Lulu Island.

The city will also attempt to enlist a grad student to help research solutions to the problem.

The plan will cost approximately $100,000 annually.

Employee bear sprayed in daytime robbery of herbal store

Thieves made off with $38,000 worth of Chinese herbs following a daytime robbery Monday.

On July 12 at 4:30 p.m. Richmond RCMP received a report of a rob-bery at the Tung Yun Tang Herbal Company located in the 4600 block of No. 3 Road.

Two suspects entered the store

and proceeded behind the counter at which point an employee was sprayed with bear spray. The sus-pects stole three jars of a Chinese fungus cordycep worth $30,000 and two jars of bird’s nest worth $8,000.

The suspects then fled the scene in a blue or green Honda Odyssey. A partial license plate was obtained and the investigation is continuing in this regard. Of note is that the Odyssey had a black bug deflector on the hood which had a piece bro-ken off on the passenger side.

The suspects are described as Caucasian males, 34 years old, 5 foot 11, 150 pounds and wearing

blue clothing and baseball caps. The men were also carrying black duffel bags.

Security footage has been request-ed and will be reviewed if available.

Richmond RCMP is requesting that anyone with information regard-ing this incident please call Const. Sarah Martin at 604-278-1212 or if you wish to remain anonymous, please call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

“We encourage employees to co-operate during these incidents. Criminals are unpredictable and you never know how far they’ll go to commit crime,” said Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley.

Driver denied chauffeur’s permit over driving offencesby Jessica TieszenContributor

A driver’s bid to keep his chauffeur’s permit was denied by city councillors on Monday.

Hussain Chaudhry, 23, who has recently worked as a taxi driver, applied to renew his chauffeur’s permit last year, but was turned down by the RCMP after he recorded five driving contraventions, prohibitions and suspensions in the past five years, two of which were 24-hour driving suspensions for alcohol use.

Chaudhry appealed that decision in front of Richmond councillors Monday.

Chaudhry, a marketing student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, said he was more than $5,000 in debt and needed money in order to continue his education.

“When I go apply for jobs now, the only response I hear is I don’t have enough experience.” Chaudry said in a letter to city hall. “Come this summer I will not be able to go to school because I was not able to save any money. Getting my chauffeur’s permit is my last chance at making things right for myself.”

But on Monday council unanimously upheld the RCMP ruling.

“The gentleman presented himself very well, but the fact is, he had these infractions,” Major Malcolm Brodie said. “The council felt there was too much risk allowing him into that type of driving position.”

Thieves steal $38,000 worth of Chinese herbs

City worker honoured for innovation

Richmond City Hall honoured one of its own Monday.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie presented water services supervisor Don Ho with an award for innovation, along with a $500 prize, for his work in devising a new method for bevelling pipes.

When connecting water pipes, city crews must ensure they won’t spring any leaks. A tight fit, explained Brodie, involves bevelling one pipe to fit into another. This was usually done with a cut-off saw, but WorkSafeBC recently banned the process due to the safety risk it posed to the saw operator.

On his own time—and dime—Ho came up with a new method. He made some minor modifications to a planer, allowing him to bevel a pipe end without creating dust or risking injury.

At Monday night’s council meeting, Brodie noted this is now standard practice for Richmond and oth-ers in the trade.

After feeding those in need since 1983, the Richmond Food Bank is being struck by the recession more than ever.

The food bank, a place where com-munity members recieve groceries for their families, serves an average of 480 households a week.

Since the 2010 Olympics, staff mem-bers have noticed a decrease in dona-tions and an increase in service.

“We have seen a 60 per cent increase in costumers every week since 2007,” says Margaret Hewlett, executive direc-tor. “But this past winter, the donations just completely stopped.”

Hewlett believes this could also be due

to other natural disasters in the world, such as the earthquake in Haiti, and people sending donations elsewhere.

Despite the challenges, the food bank continues to distribute 15,000 pounds of food each week.

“For every dollar we spend, we are giv-ing away $7 of food,” she says. “That is something we are very proud of.”

With the current economy, more and more families are suffering through part time employment, budget cuts and min-imal salaries.

Hewlett is encouraging the com-munity to continue its donations—anything helps.

The Richmond Food Bank is located at 100 - 5800 Cedarbridge Way. To donate,

Our community is not encouraging enough to breastfeeding mothers

Monday’s Globe and Mail asked “Why

aren’t more women breastfeeding?” It seems that fewer than 14 per cent of women are breastfeeding past six months.

While returning to work is often cited as the biggest reason that women stop nursing their children, I think there’s an underlying social stigma. Our com-munity is not breastfeeding friendly. As both a mother and food security activist, this is highly alarming.

Of all the food sources available to humans, breast

milk is the most complete. It provides all the nutrients necessary for growth in a highly digestible form. It’s available all the time, is free, and is the ultimate zero-mile-diet food. Experts cite that breastfeeding helps boost the immune system of babies and those children who are exclusively breastfed up to the age of six months have fewer food allergies and digestive issues. In addition, breast-feeding lowers the risk of breast cancer in mothers.

And yet we, as a commu-nity, don’t always make it easy for women to nurse. When was the last time you saw a woman nurse in pub-lic? Now I understand that not all women are comfort-able nursing in front of oth-ers and for them, we need to provide nursing rooms and private areas. But for the rest of the mothers out there who are OK with it, we should be encourag-ing nursing anywhere and everywhere.

I’ll use myself as an exam-ple. When my eldest was born, it had been over 20 years since there had been an infant in my family. I had never actually seen a child

nursed. Ever. Luckily, the lactation con-

sultant at B.C. Women’s Hospital was great and my doula was on hand to offer practical advice in the first few hours after birth. Even just knowing how to hold the baby so that the baby would latch on properly was something I had never seen. Nursing was initially painful and I cracked and bled. Again, nurse friends came to my rescue with lanolin. I was really well supported.

Once I was able to nurse confidently, my next hurdle was, to my surprise, my family. At family functions, I would be offered another room to go and nurse. When I declined, stating that the sofa was comfort-able enough, I’d get a look of horror. “But your grand-father is in the room!!”

What’s a young mother to do when all the females in her family are uncomfort-able with public nursing? Why, you develop what I call post-partum deafness. I’d ignore the request to conceal myself and ask for a glass of juice. Eventually, everyone knew to not ask me to leave.

The biggest blow, howev-er, to my nursing ego came in a more public space. I was nursing my youngest in a coffee shop and an older woman came up to me and asked “Don’t you want to cover up?” I said I was fine, since no party of my body was actually exposed. She replied, “Not for you, for me. I don’t want to have to see that.” I was dumb-founded. How do you reply to a statement like that? Especially when it comes from, as I found out later, a retired nurse?

I know I’m not alone in my tales. I’m sure other moth-ers have had similar, if not even more jaw-dropping experiences. According to the B.C. Human Rights Commission, women have the right to breastfeed wherever necessary. I’d love for Richmond to push this further and say we want to see more women breast-feeding. I truly believe that once the stigma of nursing in public is lifted, we’ll see a sharp rise in children who are breastfed.

Farm closure a sign we can’t ignore

The collapse of the family farm is a sad sign of the times.

The owners of Tai On Farm, a decades-old mar-ket on No. 5 Road, announced they’re getting out of the business and selling the small family farm. Their kids have seen how hard it is to make a dollar in farm-ing and have gone on to other careers.

The closure of Tai On as an outlet for locally grown food is a loss for food security and a win for California growers and Canadian importers.

If that isn’t reason enough to sound the alarm, sta-tistics are. Between 2001 and 2006, the Canadian farm population dropped 6.2 per cent, and two of every five farmers were aged 55 or older.

Indeed, when children are no longer willing to take over the family farm, the words of University of B.C. Farm manager Mark Bomford ring true: “Farmers may be at a threat greater than the farms themselves.”

This is happening amidst a growing movement that recognizes the importance of locally grown food and a desire for urban farming opportunities. Books like The 100 Mile Diet have helped make urbanites more aware of where their food is coming from—and the fossil fuels required to eat a tomato from Mexico.

Making a living growing food is a real possibility, but it’s no doubt challenging when society is so accus-tomed to buying food at rock-bottom prices.

Government has a key role to play in growing our food security. It starts with the Agricultural Land Reserve. This province-wide land bank needs to not only be maintained, but strengthened.

The horrendously understaffed Agricultural Land Commission is tasked with protecting the 4.7 million hectares inside the reserve, and ensuring the land—when used—is used for its original intent.

The commission should be bolstered, not cut back, and should have a stronger mandate and will to protect farmland—especially in the fertile Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.

Other levels of government can help by opening doors for young farmers and encouraging farmland to be put into production.

If nothing else, Tai On’s closure has given us all a sign we can’t ignore.

the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder.

lettersWhere was Alice Wong?Editor:

Re: “The problem with Joe,” Letters, July 8.During the recent Canada Day Parade, the Rich-

mond Federal Liberal Riding Association distributed more than 3,000 Canadian pins and fl ags.

The overwhelming number of these pins and fl ags did not have a sticker on them. Unfortunately, a few of them did. It was an error and we apologize for it.

The more signifi cant fact relating to the Canada Day Parade is that Alice Wong and the Richmond Federal Conservative Riding Association did not participate in it. Joe Peschisolido and 34 other federal Liberal members proudly walked in the parade.

Regardless of your political affi liation, there is a minimum expectation in all Richmond residents that our current Member of Parliament and her Richmond federal Conservative Riding Association should participate in our Canada Day parade. Where were Alice Wong and her federal Conservative association on Canada Day?

Musical Expressions is a big hitEditor:

Last Friday evening I attended (along with a number of my friends) the fi rst Musical Expres-sions of the summer. I love the new format. It was a lovely intimate evening—the tables and chairs and M&M serving us was extremely pleasant.

People wishing to attend should get their tick-ets early so as to avoid disappointment.

I am always happy to attend functions like this to remind me of what a great place Richmond is to live in. I would like to thank Cherelle Jardine for the organization of the many events in Richmond and to the City of Richmond for its continued support.

In music class, I feel nothing but delightEditor:

I was devastated when I heard that the government is cutting back on music classes. I am sure there are people out there who feel the same as I do.

In music class, I feel nothing but delight. Music is what kept our past generations going, our present generation going, and sure enough, it will continue to endure into our future generation.

Music is not something to throw or kick out like a dried-up pen. Music is essential to human life. It sooths us when we feel stressed, and it creates hap-piness into our souls.

Without music, the world would be filled with agony and stress. After all, there is research showing that music allows people to focus better in school.

If the government has the power to collect tax from us and build the Canada Line, why can’t it put part of the money into rebuilding music into our lives instead of cutting back on music in schools.

Music is special. It is a gift to humankind. This may sound exaggerated, but this is exactly how I feel about music. Music can be written down, it can be played, it can be sung, and it can be enjoyed.

Sports are the same—I can see that the govern-ment wants children to go out and exercise more. But music plays such an important part in our lives. In my physical education class as we warm up, we listen to music. Before basketball games, music is being played. When we are in a restaurant, music is being played. With no surprises when we walk around, music is being sung. We are given a privilege to do such great things with music.

We must not let music be cut back, we must let it drive and let it continue into our lives.

lettersNot all teenagers are the sameEditor:

Use one word to describe a teenager/adolescent. Reckless. Irresponsible. Naive.

Many of these negative words are used in society today to critique the way an adolescent behaves. More recently, many have been judging teenagers on the way they maintain themselves on the road.

Society tends to stereotype teenagers to be the people to avoid on the road, for they are bad or careless drivers. These same teenage drivers are being held responsible for scaring or even physically injuring pedes-trians and other drivers, because of their lack of responsibility. I believe that this is not always the case.

While adolescents can be held responsible for some of the accidents on the road, I doubt that this particular age group is accountable for so many of the accidents they are blamed for. I think that it unfair to disregard the other 85 to 90 per cent of drivers on the road who in turn are responsible for their own share of accidents.

While I admit that a certain amount of teenagers are indeed what they are dubbed to be, it is inequitable to put the vast majority of the rest of the adoles-cents in the same category just because of our age, and the ste-reotype that goes along with it.

What I believe should be done instead of just raising the legal driving age, is to reinforce stricter driving laws, so that way, instead of just getting rid of teenagers on the road, which I believe would be hardly fixing the problem, the problem of unsafe drivers in gen-eral are being better addressed.

Question of the week

Matthew Hoekstra photoJavier Marin’s public art on No. 3 Road was damaged by a vandal.

Public art by Lansdowne Station is a waste of money

Editor:I love the Canada Line. It is new, clean, and also very efficient.

The stations are also clean and simple. I enjoy every bit of it, except for one thing, walking down the stairs of Lansdowne Station.

As I proceed my way down, I see three humongous red heads lying on the sidewalk. Why are they there? Not only they are big and frightening, they are a waste of money.

Our government is willing to spend a lot of money on these artworks on the sidewalk instead of improving public service and providing homes for the homeless. Do you really think that these pieces of art will make our community more unique? Maybe it would be during Halloween, but not now.

The HST has been brought in because our taxes were used on these three heads instead of improving our services. (Editor’s note: The statues, Javier Marin’s Cabeza Vainilla, Cabeza Córdoba, Cabeza Chiapas, are part of the Vancouver Biennale and were not paid for by government.) As you can see there is a hole in one of the heads. Obviously I’m not the only one upset about it. However the hole does remind me of something, the hole in my wallet. Please be more thoughtful for our community and use our money more wisely. Improve our community, not making more heads!

arts & entertainmentStrange NatureRichmond Art Gallery looks at our emotional involvement with nature


The walls of the Richmond Art Gallery are ornamented with dried out insects, fresh leaves

and porcelain hares in what curator Renato Rodrigues da Silva which he calls Strange Nature.

Silva began working on this piece over a year ago, but only brought the artists together in early April. Strange Nature brings together work by Jennifer Angus, Mary Anne Barkhouse and Robin Ripley to explore the ways we interact with nature.

“Humans are natural creatures, yet we set ourselves apart from nature through the cultural systems and objects we’ve cre-ated,” explains Silva. “As society comes to realize that our survival depends on our responses to current environmental crises, Strange Nature addresses creative forms of subjectivity, as well as our emotional involvement with nature.”

Jennifer Angus presents an ornamen-tal piece composed of insects pinned directly on her own designed wallpaper. Complementing the wallpaper is an over-sized dollhouse inhabited by insects.

“A tension is created by the beauty one observes in the pattern versus the appre-hension we feel toward insects,” she says. “I bring together the pre-conceived notion of bugs being dirty and diseased, with the ideas of home and comfort.”

Angus describes herself to be an expert of pattern, stating it is something she will never get sick of.

“The thread of continuity that runs through all my work is pattern. In our cul-ture, we use pattern as a very subtle com-munication device. You can see this pattern in my wallpaper design, allowing the viewer to decide what I’m communicating.”

Mary Anne Barkhouse, a native of Vancouver, addresses in her work the trans-formation of the natural environment due to the expansion of human activity in its desire for profit and economic development.

Her piece shows three velvet stools car-rying hares—one of bronze and two of por-celain, placed on luxurious taffeta draped from the ceiling to the floor.

Barkhouse’s illustration portrays a delicate equilibrium within the environment between biological species and natural resources, questioning the cultural infringements on this totality.

Robin Ripley, a contemporary artist based in Vancouver displays her artwork of fresh leaves mended by thread, silk and lace. The artists emotional involvement in the healing process of each leaf alludes to humanities call to save the environment.

“The painstaking process of mending these leaves mirror the laborious and mun-dane work necessary to preserve our envi-ronment,” explains Ripley.

Silva adds that, “With all the challenges

that we have to face in the near future, it would be wise if we paid attention to their messages.”

Having a father in the military, Ripley was moved around to 18 different cities by the time she was just 16-years-old. Home at one point was in Germany, Manitoba, Ontario and then finally her family settled into the Lower Mainland in 1970. Throughout the years, Ripley clung to her artwork as her constant.

“Traveling the world made me realize that objects and things around you mean differ-ent things to different people in different places,” explains Ripley. “It really goes to show how culture shapes ones viewpoint.”

Neither of her parents had any back-ground in the arts, nor were they artistic themselves. Ripley explains that it was her grandmother who was experienced in the arts field, while her parents just showed their support.

“I was that typical child with bugs and strings in my pocket making collages out of whatever I could find,” says Ripley. “I fell in love with the natural world at a young age.”

Silva explains that his inspiration for this piece was derived from the famous phi-losopher Claude Lévi-Strauss.

“Strauss was an anthropologist who disliked opposition between nature and culture,” explains Silva.

“Just like Strange Nature, we work to bring nature and mankind together.”

Silva wanted to put together a show where the artists shared the common feeling that nature was something inside of them and were not afraid of addressing that in differ-ent ways. Although the three artists had never worked together until this exhibition, they were extremely respectable and famil-

iar with each other’s work. Silva gathered the artists together,

brainstormed ideas, examined space and proposed a plan. As the exhibit is by dona-tion, the budget had to be fairly low. Being that the exhibition is centered around nature, most materials were easy to aquire and in no way harmed the environment.

Beside each piece of art lies a label describing the artwork.

“We want to give a possible interpretation of the artwork because it takes educational function to fully understand the meaning,” states Silva. “We must unfold the exhibi-tion so it can be received by the general public.”

The Richmond Art Gallery is located in the Richmond Cultural Centre at 7700 Minoru Gate. It’s open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on week-days and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends.

10 artists displayed in Gulf of Georgia Cannery exhibitby Jessica TieszenContributor

Amongst the musty smell of fish and preserved wood are masterpieces

of professional and child art-ists displayed in an exhibition called Gulf of Georgia Cannery Past and Present.

The exhibition is on until July 31 at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site and features 10 artists whose work is sold in a silent auction and complemented by children’s artistic interpretations.

Teresa Chow, events marketing co-ordi-nator at the cannery, designed this exhibi-tion in order to re-create glory days of the cannery, and what it once was. The Gulf of Georgia Cannery, which was built in 1894, was once nicknamed the “Monster Cannery” because of its deep roots in the West Coast fishing industry and the Steveston community in particular.

“The exhibit is based on this framework, with the intent to capture the glorious past of the Gulf of Georgia Cannery and its present status in British Columbia,” Chow said.

All artwork is for sale, with nine paint-ings donated by the Canadian Artists Society up for bidding. Bids for the auc-

tion begin at $50 and will remain open until July 31.

On display in the children’s section is 250 mini canvases on which kids have expressed artistic talent through acrylic paintings of the cannery.

“We show the children black-and-white pictures of the cannery and leave it up to their interpretation,” Chow says. “You can see hints of the old photos in their masterpiece—It is quite impressive.”

Among the 10 artists featured in the exhibition is Richmond resident and art-ist Danny Chen. Chen, who moved to Richmond from 100 Mile House, came here to seek out greater opportunity in the art industry and to open his own art school. Now having lived in Richmond for 25 years, Chen has established himself as quite the decorated artist.

“I began my career in Taiwan when I was just five years old,” explains Chen. “I com-peted in and won the World Children’s Art Competition.”

Chen has never received a formal edu-cation in art. He studied fish farming at Malaspina College in Nanaimo. It is here that Chen’s inspiration is derived.

“I have a passion for fishing and art-work,” explains Chen. “That is why I love to paint nature scenes.”

Now, with two-year-old daughter Jasmine, Chen hopes that one day she too will grow up to love art. Jasmine’s work is also featured in the exhibition.

The exhibition is open in the cannery (12138 4th Ave.) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. until July 31. Online artwork bidding is also available at flickr.com/photos/gulfofgeor-giacannery.

The wayward behavior that author Naomi

Alderman refers to in her novel Dis-obedience is of the dramatic strain, not your garden variety refusal to do the dishes.

It’s brought to life in the character of Ronit Kruska, the daughter of a highly revered Orthodox Rabbi in Hendon, England. This enclave of obser-vant Jews is the very essence of conformity,

and the place from which Ronit, at age 17, fled in her struggle to come to terms with her own identity. She describes her move to New York as “a great, glorious open feeling, like I’d just unsealed my lungs for the first time and realized that there was air to breathe.”

All these years later, Ronit is a fully assimilated and lapsed Orthodox Jew who works as a financial analyst. Without reveal-ing too much, l can tell you that Ronit enjoys a somewhat alterna-tive lifestyle. When her father passes on, she returns to Hendon to mourn him and con-front her past. What she really wants is her long-dead mother’s silver Sabbath candle-sticks, but what she gets is moral indigna-tion and judgmental righteousness from the people of Hendon.

Essentially the story is about the struggle between religious and personal identity. It’s about rebellion and self-acceptance and the loneliness that often comes with mak-ing hard choices. Like Alderman says: “And all we have, in the end, are the choices we make.”

Ronit has never been a conformist, and the stringent rules and commandments that are at the very heart of Orthodox Judaism have always been too much for her to accept. Prizing individualism above everything, Ronit lands in hot water when she connects with her former lover on her return to Hendon. She becomes the target for harsh criticism at a time

when she’s feeling iso-lated and vulnerable.

Throughout the novel, Alderman sprinkles snippets of religious Jewish teachings that add background and substance to the story. They give context to the goings on in Hendon and to the personal actions of the charac-ters. Juxtaposing these with the prickly subject of sexuality makes for a very interesting read. Let’s just say that being a lesbian in an ortho-dox Jewish community can’t be easy, and it’s no wonder Ronit feels like an outcast.

There’s no question where Alderman stands in her views on reli-gious fundamentalism, and she spares no one in this scathing com-mentary on the hypoc-risy and small minded-ness that characterizes the orthodox Jews of Hendon.

She writes: “I saw the study of Torah and the practice of good deeds and kindness, and I saw the gossip and the slander and the public humiliation.” Clearly the Jewish ide-als of tolerance and charity towards others are quickly forgotten when the black sheep of Hendon returns. Disobedience is an interesting read for Jews and a real eye-opener for non-Jews. Check out this and other great books in the Ben and Esther Dayson Judaica Collection at the Brighouse Branch.

Did you know that summer garden planting equals winter eating?

Join Arzeena Hamir, as she explains how summer food garden planting can extend your garden well into the fall and winter, so that you can eat what you grow 12 months of the year.

This free program—“What Can I Plant Now?”—takes place on July 27 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the performance hall at the Richmond Cultural Centre, located at 7700 Minoru Gate.

Register by visiting any branch of Richmond Public Library, by calling 604-231-6413, or online at www.yourli-brary.ca/whatson.cfm. Quote program #403 when registering.

Topics to be covered will include: selecting cool hardy vegetables, sea-son extension techniques, and storage of winter foods.

There will be time after the program for questions. For more information please call 604-231-6413.

What should you plant now?

Saturday starts with a trip to Ste-

veston, down to the docks to find Muriel Bevandick and her spot prawns.

Two pounds of prawns and a chat. Next, rasp-berries from my favourite spot on No. 2 Road. Two baskets, one wrapped; one to eat on the way.

Jennifer Gauthier photoHo Soo, co-owner of Tai On Farm at 7611 No. 5 road, picks gai lan from the garden. Tai On was the fi rst farm in Richmond to grow and sell Chinese greens.

So long Tai On Farm

Food for ThoughtArlene Kroeker

From Page A19Then to Tai On Farms

on No. 5 Road, between Blundell and Granville. Peas, carrots, cauli-flower, beans, spinach, lettuce, long dill fronds, beets, plump radishes, blueberries... and more into a box and into the car. Owner Helen Jang follows me to the car. “We’ve sold the farm,” she says. “I just couldn’t bring myself to put up a sign to let customers know.”

When I get home and fill my kitchen with the greens and reds of sum-mers, I can’t stop think-ing about Helen and her sister and all their decades of providing the very best local fresh

food. They were the first to grow Chinese greens in Richmond. What about their beautiful bunches of basil? It is all too much to comprehend that my favourite farm would be closing this summer.

Helen told me she will miss the banter with customers, the sharing of recipes and ideas. What else could she do though? The work was too much. Her kids didn’t want to take it on. And so a chapter, an important chapter, in the agriculture of Richmond, ends. Yes, there have been rumours for years that some of these older farms will be clos-ing because there’s no

succession, but I don’t think I was ready for the reality.

There are only a few of these family-run farms left in Richmond, the kind such as Helen’s where, if there’s no basil on the shelf, she’ll get some from the field.

Back in my kitchen I start cooking. I put the German potatoes in a pot of water. I shell the peas, snip the ends of the green beans, sepa-rate and wash the deli-cate lettuce leaves. What will Helen do now?

This news makes me want to save what I can of Tai On Farm. And I mean “can”. I recall a conversation I had with Emerie Brine, manager

of community relations for Jarden (the people who bring you Bernardin home canning products). He was telling me about his mother who has canned for 55 years. These days, her kids (11 of them), grandkids, and greatgrandkids come by for salsa, green beans, and jams. Her question to him is, “Who will take over?”

He grew up on a farm in Moncton, N.B., with chickens, pigs, and a gar-den and the family relied on what they planted. He considers himself fortunate to have a job where he can encourage everyone from young to mature to reconnect to the past by saving some

of summer in a jar.More and more people

are concerned about what they eat. They fre-quent local farms and farmers markets, and want to reduce their carbon footprint. They buy large quantities from farmers and enjoy the satisfaction and pride that comes with open-

ing a jar in winter—that they’ve done their bit to support local farmers and the environment.

So many people are recognizing this concern that Bernardin saw a twenty per cent increase in their sales of can-ning products last year. Canning is “in”.

It’s not rocket science,

Emerie said. There are just a few simple steps to saving summer.

So I got on the phone and asked Darlene Tanaka if we could do a canning class (I’m always up for an inspiring refresher course). On Wednesday, July 21, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Trail Appliances on Minoru Boulevard in Richmond, Darlene will demonstrate how to safely preserve by making a blueberry freezer jam, raspberry chipotle spread (with half the sugar and double the fruit), and a home-style corn relish. The cost of the class is $25 (and you will leave with a jar or two of the evening’s work). To reg-ister, call me at 604 209 2003 or e-mail me at [email protected]

Good-bye Helen. Thank you to Tai On Farm for 40 years of growing healthy food for Richmond.

The Gulf of Georgia Cannery Society’s board of directors has just approved year-round opening for the Steveston national historic site.

In past years, the cannery has only been open from May to October. This year, the cannery opened in February to take advantage of the Winter Olympics. Now, the board has decided to extend the 2010 sea-son even further.

The cannery will remain open until Dec. 24 and will

re-open on January 3, 2011.The Gulf of Georgia Cannery commemorates the fishing

industry. It has been used as a cannery, reduction plant, and net loft.

The cannery was built in 1894 and various additions and buildings were added up until 1964.

The complex includes the main cannery building, ice-house, vitamin oil shed, drum storage shed, watchman’s house and lead foundry. There are numerous exhibits and a gift shop. Its artifact collection totals 10,000 items relat-ing mostly to salmon, herring and halibut fisheries.

The structures are of wood frame and heavy timber con-struction and are mostly supported by wooden pilings.

The cannery is operated by the non-profit Gulf of Georgia Cannery Society, on behalf of Parks Canada.

It is located at 12138 Fourth Ave. in Steveston.

The Gulf of Georgia Cannery is now open

year-round.Mark Patrick

Nations Cup a matter of national prideAnnual soccer tournament showcases some of B.C.’s bestby Don FennellSports Editor

As a coach, the 2010 soccer sea-son has been rewarding to Brent Branker. His under-13 boys’ team, Richmond Young Gunners, recently won the Provincial A Cup after ear-lier becoming Coastal Cup champi-ons.

But there’s one more title he’s hoping to share in this weekend at the annual Nations Cup.

“My expectations for any team that I am involved with is to win,” said Branker, who will guide the for-tunes of the Caribbean in the men’s open division.

Like any club, he said the Carib-bean’s success will be determined by teamwork.

“Finding the right chemistry will be key because most of these play-ers come together (only) once a year,” he said. “So it is always a bit diffi cult to create the required at-mosphere that is needed for such a prestigious tournament in such a short time. Preparation is also key to decide how you are going to play in respect to formation and tactics, so we always play a few exhibition games to make these decisions and adjust prior to the fi rst game.”

Caribbean has historically been among the contenders at the Na-tions Cup, but has only won it all once in 2005 when Donald Kimbere was the tournament’s most valu-able player. Kimbere will again be counted on heavily, as will be Omari Aldridge, for their ability to change a game with their pace and strength.

“When the teamwork breaks down it will always come to an abrupt end,” said Branker, who added the high level of play at the tournament demands teams to continually be at their best.

“All the best players are gathered to play for their respective coun-tries and the young talent is always prominent,” he said. “I am trying to promote the young talent that the

Caribbean has to offer.”England is looking to become the

fi rst team to defend the men’s title since Germany in 2002. Coach Cliff Vaghy said a fast start will be es-sential.

“It will be the most important thing,” he said. “In this format, if you lose the fi rst game you really put yourself in a tough position. With only one team going through (from the pool), it’s imperative to get off to a fast start.”

Having a deep bench helps too, he said, particularly if the weather is hot.

“There are so many games in a short period of time so you need

to have numbers to keep the guys fresh,” he said.

England also needs a large roster because Vaghy doesn’t believe in centreing the team around just a few players.

“Each and every player is just as good as the next,” he insisted. “So when a player comes off, the player going on needs to be just as talent-ed. That’s what has helped us over the last few years (but) it can make for some tough coach decisions.”

Vaghy promises England will play an exciting style. There will be an emphasis on holding onto the ball, but always looking to push for-ward.

“With the hot weather we might have this weekend, it’s important to maintain possession of the ball and not be chasing after it. That’s how players become tired,” he said.

He expects England to be fi t, with most of the players participating in various summer leagues.

Vaghy said the Nations Cup has had a huge impact on the soccer community. He said watching oth-er teams during the course of the weekend, you begin to appreciate how much interest there is in the game.

“People want to come out and watch some of the best local players

playing for their country of heritage in what is one of the best tourna-ments around.”

India is another perennial title contender. And coach Bindy Braich expects the current squad is well poised to challenge for 2010 hon-

ours.Like England’s Vaghy, Braich pre-

fers not to centre his team around one player. But unlike England, India will be fi elding a young team with an average age of just 20 sup-ported by a couple of veterans such as Jag Gill (2009 Golden Boot win-ner as the tournament’s top goal scorer) for leadership.

“I thought this year would be the best year to showcase some of our best young talent,” Braich said.

Soccer is continually growing in popularity in the South Asian com-munity, said Braich, a fact refl ected in the tremendous show of support for its teams at the Nations Cup, which also features men’s over-30, over-38 and over-45 divisions and a women’s open division. India is represented in each.

“Soccer has become very popu-lar in our community because the parents are now spending more time with their kids,” Braich said. “Soccer is a sport that appeals to all ages, boys and girls alike. It’s a sport that is respected by the par-ents, therefore the parents are en-rolling their kids at an earlier age. This also has a lot to do with society nowadays. The parents realize that

they need to keep their kids busy in sports, so that they do not stray toward negative things in life.

“The families love to come out together and watch their kids play soccer, its a sport that the whole family can enjoy,” he continued. “The parents of the younger kids bring them to the Nations Cup hop-ing that one day they will play for India. The kids that get selected to be part of India are very proud and want to show people that there is very good talent within our com-munity.”

Jeff Wilson, who took over as chair of the Nations Cup in 2008 after the passing of founder Geoff Pen-niston, anticipates the 31st edition of Western Canada’s most popular adult summer soccer spectacle to be a memorable one. The three-day tournament, which begins Friday and concludes Sunday, typically at-tracts upwards of 5,000 fans over the weekend.

“All four of last year’s semifi nal-ists (England, Caribbean, Portugal and Crotia) should be contenders again this year,” Wilson said. “Com-ing into this year’s tournament they are the top seeds of their respective qualifying groups. And as returning

champions, I expect England to again vie for the trophy. Others to watch include India and Iran. India is always fi t, skilled and highly com-petitive and traditionally commence

their trouts and training sessions months in advance. Iran, meanwhile is a new addition this year and might provide some surprise results.”

Through its 30-year history, the Nations Cup has been a showcase for some of the province’s best soc-cer talent. Canadian national team players like David Norman, John Catliffe and Richmond’s own Randy Samuel have suited up. Former Whitecap great Carl Valentine, Ally McCoist (Glasgow Rangers), Eric Ross (Newcastle United) and Alex Reid (Rangers) have also played. But it’s the B.C. connection that Wilson is especially proud of. This year, such familiar soccer personali-ties as Richmond’s Johnny Sulentic and Jason Jordan and other former Whitecaps and 86ers like Paul Daily, David Xausa and Dave Morris are

Mayor Malcolm Brodie showed the form of a seasoned pro in throw-ing out the ceremonial fi rst bowl at the Rich-mond Lawn Bowling Club Saturday.

The local club, located in Minoru Park, is the fi rst in Canada to have two all-weather artifi -cial turf greens and as a result will allow for play all year.

“This is a much-need-ed improvement to a 40-year-old facility that is well used by Rich-mond’s growing lawn bowling community,” Brodie said. “The con-version from grass to artifi cial turf eliminates

the need for grass cut-ting, fertilizers, weed control and watering, making a more sustain-able facility.”

“(This) will become a highlight of this com-munity that residents and visitors will enjoy for years to come,” said Richmond MP Alice Wong.

“We are excited about the extra play time and the perfect playing sur-face,” said club presi-dent Kion Wong.

The $600,000 project was funded through a federal grant of $285,151 under the Recreational Infrastructure Canada Program. The City of

Playing against the world’s best on one of the country’s toughest golf courses, Rich-mond teenager Christine Wong fi nished 55th at the US Women’s Open played at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pa. last week.

Wong, an 18-year-old sophomore a San Diego State, made the 36-hole cut to play on the weekend. She birdied the ninth hole with a fi ve-footer from the rough to advance. She was one of six amateurs (of 28 that started) to make the cut.

Next up for Wong is the Royale Cup Cana-dian Women’s Amateur Championship in Kingsville, Ont. July 26-30.CHRISTINE WONG

London Park will host this year’s Midget A Girls’ Softball Provincials beginning Friday.

The tournament, continuing through Sunday, July 18, features a four-game round-robin where the top eight teams advance to a double knockout tourna-ment. The winner and runner-up will advance to nationals which will be hosted in Saint John, N.B. Aug. 1-8.

Richmond will be home to the top-calibre B.C. championship for the sixth time.

“It just makes so much sense for the Lower Main-land to host it,” explains Gary Rosval, president of Richmond Girls’ Softball Association. “We have the park, facilities and volunteers.”

This year’s tournament features nine teams from the Lower Mainland and two from Vancouver Island, all between the ages of 17 and 19. Included among these teams are the defending national champs, White Rock Renegades ’91 who will once again com-pete for the gold medal. Also featured in the tourna-ment is Richmond’s own ’93 Islanders.

“Out of 11 teams, our Richmond ’93 team will for sure advance,” states Rosval. “And I believe that

they will even medal.”The Islanders won a bronze medal at the 2009 na-

tional Bantam Division championships.The team is coming off an 11th-place fi nish at the

Canadian Open Fastpitch Futures (u19) International Championship at Softball City. There were 19 teams. Coach Mark Nomura believes his team will be up for the challenge at the provincials and is looking for-ward to the tough competition he expects his team to face.

The tournament will kick off with the fi rst game at 9 a.m. on Friday, followed by more games and then the opening ceremonies at 5:30 p.m. The fi nal game is slated for 4 p.m. Sunday. Admission for the event is free and will showcase some of B.C.’s best softball competition. London Park is at 6600 Williams Rd.

•The Midget A provincial championships are the fi rst of four tournaments Richmond will be hosting over the next three weeks.

Rosval is pleased that the association has been able to organize so many tournaments, with much of the credit going to the dedicated volunteers. He is encouraging the public to come out and support the local teams. Next up are the provincial Senior A, Junior A and Junior B champinoships July 23-25 followed by the Western Canadian Bantam girls’ and

Girls set for diamond battle11 Midget A teams vying for two berths at national softball championships

Richmond Islanders ’93 girls’ fastpitch team is hoping for a return trip to the nationals, but this time as Midgets. They fi nished third at the 2009 Bantam nationals.

There’s been plenty of high-fi ves ex-changed by members of the Richmond Gymnastics Association lately.

One of the club’s top young athletes, Robert Watson, has been selected by Gymnastics Canada to compete at the inaugural Youth Olympic Games to be held in Singapore, Aug. 14–26.

To qualify Canada for this event, Wat-son, 16, and three other young Cana-dian gymnasts competed at the Junior Pan-Am Games in November 2009. The top fi ve placing nations would be able to each send one athlete to the Youth Olympic Games. As Canada’s top fi n-isher he earned the honour.

Watson has been working hard to prepare for the Youth Olympic Games with his coach, Ferenc Szabo Jr. in his home gym. He’s also attended many training camps and competitions in Canada, London, Mexico, Germany and Australia. In Australia, Watson competed as part of the six-man team at the Pacifi c Rim Championships and won a bronze medal.

This fi rst-ever Youth Olympic Games will host over 3,600 young athletes from around the world competing in

26 different summer sporting events.Watson and coach Szabo will be

leaving at the end of July for an orien-tation and training camp in Ontario. From there, they will travel on directly to Singapore.

Chris Crisologo is play-

ing in the boys’ 13- and 14-year-old division and Stephanie Wong in the girls’ 15-to-17-year-old age group.

Both age-group events are being played at Tor-rey Pines in San Diego.

Not only is this event

important to all the 1,000-plus players from the U.S. and 52 other countries, but it’s also a big week for college coaches who use the junior worlds as a hunt-ing ground for up-and-coming talent.

Future and former Olympians battle at Review Kajaks meetby Don FennellSports Editor

Future and former Olympians were centre stage Friday at Minoru Park for the annual Richmond Review Kajaks Interna-tional Track Classic.

Both up-and-comers and seasoned veter-ans showed they’ve got what it takes to be among the best in the world of track and fi eld.

The Kajaks’ own Yvonne Mensah blazed to victory in the women’s 400-metre hurdles in 59.34 seconds, after two-time Canadian Olympian An-

gela Whyte won the 100-metre hurdles in 13.91.

Two of Canada’s emerging talents in race walk, Inaki Gomez and Kajak Evan Dunfee battled it out for fi rst place in

the mixed 5,000-me-tre event with Gomez eventually winning in 19 minutes, 48.62 sec-onds. Dunfee came in at 20:57.42.

The meet also pro-vided a platform for Diane Cummins, a 2004 semifi nalist at the Athens Olym-pics in the 1,500 metres, to show she’s still very much in the mix at the age of 33. She won the women’s 800 metres in 2:05.67.

Dolphin ready to tip off No. 25Annual four-on-four basketball classic begins Friday

The Dolphin Park Basketball Classic is marking its 25th anniversary in a big way this weekend.

Taking place at the Thompson Community Centre, the longest standing summer bas-ketball tournament in British Columbia has added a women’s division and a wheelchair demostration game.

Five women’s teams will join 13 men’s teams in the already well-established men’s division. Hitting the street court this year at Dolphin will be a great level of four-on-four basketball featuring current and former Ca-nadian university players and former NCAA players from all over Canada and the U.S.

The Dolphin Basketball Classic promises to be a great event with something for ev-eryone.

The action starts on Friday at 5 p.m. and continues throughout the weekend. The women’s fi nal tips off at 5 p.m. Sunday, fol-lowed by the men’s fi nal at 7 p.m. Always a huge favourite, both the three-point and slam dunk competitions will take place Sun-day in between the two fi nals.

What is two feet?Darcy Marquardt

asked herself that question Sunday af-ternoon in Lucerne, Switzerland after the U.S. edged her Cana-dian women’s eight team at the Rowing World Cup.

Canada had the lead most of the way, only to beaten by .20 of a second at the fi n-ish. The Americans clocked in at six min-utes, 12.19 seconds at the 2,000-metre mark, with Canada at 6:12.39 and Great Britain third at 6:17.35.

“The U.S. put on a huge push from about the halfway mark and ended up surging ahead just before the line,” said Richmond’s Marquardt. “So a sil-ver medal it is and a taste in the belly of what that feels like. Worlds are in three-and-half-months in New Zealand and you can be that we will be training hard for those inches. We head home now with a sense of ac-complishment but one that is not completely satisfi ed.”

Two of the members of the silver-medal eight—Ashley Brzozo-wicz and Krista Guloi-en—grabbed Canada’s fi rst medal of the day, a bronze in the wom-en’s pair. New Zealand was fi rst in 7:09.57, dominating most of the race. An Ameri-can boat took silver in 7:14.24, just edging out the Canadians, who crossed the line in 7:15.73.

It was a busy day for the pair, who later rowed in the eight. “The two races are tac-tically different. In the pair, I set the rhythm, but in the eight I just follow and pull really hard,” Brzozowicz, said after the eight race. “It was great to medal twice in one day, but I’m sure it will hurt later.”

“We were glad to come here and get in some challenging racing. It was great to race New Zealand (in the pair), who are ob-viously very fast,” said Guloien, “but we now have a sweet chunk of training time before the World Champion-

Richmond lacrosse’s Midget A1 team is on a mission to win another provincial box lacrosse championship.

The same players in 2009 won the provincial A2 Bantam Division title, so they have experience when the games are tight and tense.

Richmond started the season on a rough patch, winning only one of their tiering games. However, that was apparently the only wake-up call they needed. The rest of the season has been a success, with only two loses—both to Coquit-lam. They also had ties versus New Westmin-ster and Langley to fi n-ish fourth in the league standings.

In the playoff play-downs, Richmond dis-posed of fi fth-place Ridge Meadows in a thrilling fi ve-game se-ries.

Richmond won the opening game 10–5 at home but then lost Game 2 by an 8-3 count in Ridge Meadows.

Game 3 was tight throughout, before Shawn Hanley set up Jordan Gilles with the deciding goal with two minutes to play as Rich-mond pulled out a 5-4 win.

Richmond expected a tough Game 4, and from the opening whistle that became reality.

After an even fi rst pe-riod, Ridge Meadows turned up the heat and scored twice to take a two-goal lead into the third period. Richmond managed to come up with a big third period, scoring three times, but Ridge Meadows scored two of their own to win 5-4 and set the stage for a dramatic winner-take-all Game 5 back in Rich-mond.

With Richmond with-out one of its top goal scorers, Shawn Hanley, injured in Game 4, the team knew it would have to work hard and work together to get this win.

“This is it, you need to leave it all on the fl oor to move to the provincials,” Richmond coach Mike Gilles told the boys.

Inspired by his pre-game speech, Rich-mond got things started quickly on a nifty goal from Brayden Low set up by Cody Nass and Wyatt Pinder. But it was Ridge Meadows that led after a period, 2-1.

Richmond came out strong in the second period and took over on goals by Low (his sec-ond), Jordan Gilles,and Brad Hoffman.

Up 4-2 going in the fi nal period, Richmond added another two goals, one by Jordan Gilles assisted by Alex Morghese and Jonathan Bailey, to seal

a 6-3 win and advance to the B.C. championships on through Sunday in Mission.

Strong goaltending by Will Schwan through-

out the season, and all-round solid play by the his teammates coupled with a strong work ethic have enabled the team to be in position to take
