Real Food Mart moves into old RONA site 4 / Secrets of a long life 5

Martin van den Hemel photoAberdeen Centre’s Joey Kwan is dwarfed by this gigantic locust, which looks like it’s about to pick her up and fl y off , while it is brought to life by Kokoro Exhibits’ Shane Dzicek. The Giant Bugs Take Over Aberdeen Centre exhibit runs from July 1 to Sept. 1, and features six massive animated insects, an interactive bugs' heads' display and a sampling of food made from bugs.

Mega-sized exhibit begins July 1, features six humongous insects by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

The Walt Disney fl ick Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, might come to mind when shop-pers enter the atrium at Aberdeen Cen-tre, which is now crawling with gigantic, marauding insects that wouldn’t have been out of place in the Steveston-fi lmed Godzilla movie.

Giant Bugs Take Over Aberdeen Cen-

tre is a fantastical new exhibit that starts July 1, featuring six humongous insects brought to life via animatronics.

There’s a 16-foot-long locust that rears up and spreads its 21-foot-wide wings, as though it were about to leap over the mega-sized grass blades and into the air.

A Chinese praying mantis serves as an imposing greeter to the exhibit, stretch-ing more than 21 feet and facing the mall’s front entrance.

There’s a pair of 20-foot black horned fi ghting beetles, a stick insect, and a cat-erpillar, too.

All this, along with an interactive bugs' heads' display, comes courtesy Kokoro Exhibits, based in Woodland Hills, Calif.

Shane Dzicek said it will take him and his team about three days to set up the display. The six giant insects were cre-ated after consultation with biologists to ensure the proportions and colours of the creatures was correctly replicated, he said.

The insects are made of foam and sili-cone, with aluminum subframes, he said.

Customers are also dared to chomp down on some genuine bug food, which Aberdeen Centre’s Joey Kwan has herself tried, and she survived the experience.

She hopes the exhibit meets the mall’s goal of being fun, interactive and educa-tional for everyone.

The exhibit runs through Sept. 1.

City mulls cash-in-lieu deal for ‘luxury’ condosCouncillors mull third proposal to scrap affordable housing in a new development

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

A developer’s request to forgo the addition of aff ord-able rental apartments in its luxury Oval Village project is giving pause to elected offi cials.

After granting permission to two developers last year, councillors are giving greater thought to the latest re-quest to provide cash in lieu of aff ordable housing, re-ferring the matter back to staff at a planning committee meeting Tuesday.

Intracorp had planned to construct a standalone building with 29 low-end market rental housing units as part of River Park Place, a multi-tower development of 586 homes billed as “the new luxury,” and located near the Richmond Olympic Oval.

It’s seeking council’s permission to pay $4.6 million into the city’s aff ordable housing fund instead of build-ing the rental units. The fi gure is based on the fi ve per cent aff ordable housing required in exchange for a den-sity bonus.

Park facility opened 50 years ago with a ball attended by ‘beautifully gowned women’


It cost just $115,900 to build, and it was booked solid for six months before opening day in 1964.

Fifty years ago Minoru Park Sports Pavilion opened with a ball packed with pomp and circumstance. Now the venerable rectangular building is set to wel-come the community for one last dance—if only in spirit.

It was May 16, 1964 when the pa-vilion opened its doors for the fi rst time. The Richmond Day Ball was a show of local celebrity, attract-ing the who’s who of a community

whose population was just a quar-ter of what it is today. Among the honoured guests was Arthur Laing, Canada’s minister of northern af-fairs and former Richmond school board chair.

The event also marked the debut of the Richmond Highland Associa-tion, whose members played num-bers from the pavilion’s balcony during dinner.

“On this historic occasion it’s a beautiful sight to look out upon all these beautifully gowned women,” said Henry Anderson, Richmond’s mayor at the time, according to a story in the May 20, 1964 Rich-mond Review.

A few days later, at the popular Richmond Days parade, Anderson formally cut the ribbon around a building that would become an important part of Richmond’s sports scene, and social and cultural life. The building played a key role in major sporting events, from the 1979 BC Summer Games to the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Upstairs, the banquet room has hosted countless dances, fundrais-ers, wedding receptions, fi tness classes and community forums.

This summer, between July 15 and Aug. 15, the pavilion will be demolished to make way for a new $80-million building that will house a new pool and seniors centre.

Richmond Museum staff will sal-vage a few pieces from the pavilion before it’s completely fl attened—a light fi xture, part of the original parquet fl ooring, a portion of its concrete block walls, a section of its mesh windows.

Museum curator Rebecca Forrest said the building became a need in the ‘60s as Richmond’s popula-tion surged and residents transi-tioned from farm life to a suburban lifestyle. With that came a growing demand for sports facilities.

“With tennis courts and track

and fi eld, there was a thought that we need to provide washrooms, change rooms, functional space for the community,” she said.

What architect Frank Tofi n de-signed was a modernist, functional building that had an unusual style, with contemporary block walls and roofl ines that showed Japa-nese fl air. The lower fl oor boasted change rooms, washrooms and an offi ce, while the entire upper fl oor was dedicated to the banquet hall, complete with stage and kitchen.

“Many people remember going to weddings in here. There were dances. A few people I’ve talked to said: I was in a band who per-

formed here,” said Forrest.Richmond Coun. Bill McNulty

remembers being among the fi rst runners to use the pavilion’s change rooms during a 1964 provincial track meet for a junior Olympic track program.

“I walked across the swamp where the artifi cial turfs are,” he said. “We were bussed in from all over British Columbia. I slept on the hard fl oor of Richmond High with a sleeping bag.”

McNulty said it’s a shame to see the building torn down.

“It has really served (Richmond) well. If I had my way, I would not demolish it. I would keep it and put

the change rooms around the out-side. It still has, in my opinion, life.”

Residents will be able to say goodbye to the pavilion at a celebration and farewell event Sat-urday, July 5 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Animals on roadways are in danger and dangerous to other road users. Google “Warning, Animals on the Road” for

YouTube examples from around the globe. Whether in a city crosswalk or on a shoulder of a rural highway, the element of surprise and unpredictability is ever present.

Rural drivers tend to be more aware of the possibility of the presence of animals but are no less at risk. In rural areas, wild animals —deer, moose, and bears—are big, fast and skittish. Farm animals—horses and cows—can behave similarly.

Cities are full of domesticated ‘pets’ but pets on the loose are these days a relative rarity. In BC’s lower mainland, we know that raccoons, squirrels, possum, skunks, coyotes, and geese are all around but tend to discount the risk they can present. So we are not always ‘on guard’ nor generally well prepared or skillful when confronted with them.

Th roughout North America, rural highways through unfenced fi elds or forested areas usually have, somewhere along the road, yellow warning signs with silhouettes of the animals that may be encountered. It is easy to overlook or discount this signage, but drivers do so at their peril. Especially when daylight is minimal—from dusk through the night until the dawn. Likewise, city streets through unfenced parklands and empty fi elds or less densely populated suburban areas with unfenced lawns and boulevards are prime animal crossing zones. It is easy to forget about this possibility.

Th e combination of staying alert, looking ahead, remembering this unusual but nevertheless ever-present potential hazard, using your daytime running lights and nighttime headlights properly, and driving within the designated speed limit at a speed suitable for the road and weather conditions is the best way to avoid risk or at least minimize it when the situation presents itself.

When an animal darts out completely unexpectedly, however, —the YouTube video collection noted above has many such frightening examples—your instinctive reaction will be to swerve or to brake suddenly then swerve. Swerving can lead to losing control of the vehicle endangering the driver and passengers and other vehicles and road users. Braking suddenly can lead to a rear end collision with a following vehicle, and sometimes a chain of rear end collisions.

Not swerving or braking suddenly may cause you to injure or maim the animal. Crashing into a big animal is no diff erent than crashing into any other large stationary object—potentially horrifi c consequences all around. Cases such as these are typically unavoidable, unintentional road accidents. Th e crashworthiness of your vehicle, your seatbelt and air bag system, the power of your brakes and of any advance auto-braking systems—all of these vehicle safety features will be put to the test.

Stopping to watch or help protect the animal is also risky. Last week’s Road Rules reported on the ongoing criminal trial of Ms. C in Montreal for her alleged criminal negligence causing death and dangerous driving by stopping in the passing lane of a highway for baby ducks to cross. Ms. C’s lawyer argued this week that her decision to stop was spur of the moment and not a criminal act, there being “no bad intention anywhere on the accused’s part.”

Richmond’s For Real Food Mart is set to open next week


A long vacant big box store near Bridgeport Road has become a hive of activity. Inside, work-ers are preparing for the opening of the fi rst new major grocery store in years in Richmond.

For Real Food Mart will open its doors June 26 at 3000 Sexsmith Rd., with the goal of becoming Canada’s largest Asian supermarket.

On Wednesday, staff unpacked countless boxes inside the nearly 8 0 , 0 0 0 - s q u a r e - fo o t store, loading shelves with packaged food ahead of next week’s ribbon-cutting cer-emony. Other workers tested grocery scanning systems and tended to last-minute details of the newly-renovated space.

Founded by a group of Chinese investors, For Real bills itself as a com-fortable and modern store catering to shop-pers in search of Asian foods and produce. They’ve hired a staff of 300 to operate a store that “strives to be a signif-icant part of the fl ourish-ing Asian culture that is immersed in (the cultur-al) mosaic (of) Canada,” said president Xiangyun Liu in a letter provided to reporters this week.

“For Real Food Mart’s

goal is to become a one-stop shop for discerning customers, providing a wide selection of high-quality Asian brand products, as well as ac-commodating all of their grocery needs.”

Built in 2005 for RONA, the store has long sat empty after the home

improvement retailer moved out in 2008. Liq-uidation World is the only other retailer that attempted to operate in the space, but its LW store didn’t last long.

The building has some unique features, boast-ing rooftop parking and purpose-built space for

an outdoor garden cen-tre. It’s sandwiched be-tween two major roads leading to the airport, Bridgeport Road and Sea Island Way, and is located steps away from the planned multi-tower neighbourhood of Cap-stan Village.

The site was previ-ously occupied by one of Richmond’s fi rst schools, Bridgeport School, which was demolished in 1984.

For Real will face plenty of competitors in the lo-cal Asian grocery market in Richmond’s City Cen-tre area, although few can match its size.

Established retailers include T&T Supermar-ket in President Plaza, Osaka in Yaohan Centre, PriceSmart foods on Ack-royd Road, China World Super Market on Odlin Road and H Mart in Ab-erdeen Centre.

It’s a familiar nag, but

one parents have good reason for. At least in See Lau’s case.

At the Kinsmen Adult Day Centre Wednesday, the Richmond woman celebrated her 100th year on the eve of her milestone birthday.

Lau said the secret to her long life is a very natural diet—particu-larly vegetables.

“Lots of veggies,” she said through a translator.

Lau arrived in Richmond from Hong Kong in 1995.

Th e gift before the surgery: Mom knew what she wanted!Earlier this month, reasons for judgment were released in the case Hegel Estate v. Logan. In the family, the father passed many years ago and the wife survived. Th e couple had 8 children (all adults). Th e family home was the main asset of the Estate. Title was registered in the mother’s name.In 2011, suff ering from colon cancer, the mother needed surgery. Shortly before the operation, she decided to add to the title three of her children. It seems to have been based largely on need; some of the children enjoyed better fi nancial circumstances than others.Th e named Executor, one of the children, challenged the transfer. Such transfers are now subject to the law of Resulting Trust. So if the transfer happens, the people now on title have to show that their mother intended a gift in transferring title to them. If they cannot, they are held to be Resulting Trustees and have to transfer title back to their mother (or her Estate, as she passed away some time aft er the surgery).In this case, the three children were able to prove their mother knew what she wanted to do, had the proper capacity, and wanted to gift the property. Meanwhile, the Executor (Plaintiff ) could not prove that the mother was pressured to make the transfer or did not have mental capacity. Th e Court held that the children now owning the property could retain title, as their mother wanted to help them (in fact, she provided considerable help to the Executor over her lifetime, and so now wanted to help other children, who were in need, as well). Such Estate planning decisions are hard to make. It doesn’t appear that the mother had a lot of time to make her decision, but she didn’t seem to need it either. She knew what she wanted, she was able, and she made the decision.She also had legal advice from a senior lawyer! Th at helped.

Centenarian knows how to stay calmFrom Page 5

The former housewife now attends the Kins-men centre twice a week.

Located near the hospital, the centre off ers activities, programs, meals and a place for socialization for adults and frail seniors and people with disabilities.

Those who know Lau understand there’s more to her long life than carrots and bok choy.

“She’s calm. She never gets angry,” said half-daughter Grace Cheung.

At the Kinsmen—which has now celebrated milestone birthdays for two centenarians—Lau enjoys tai chi, and is known for her mahjong skills and zest for life.

“She enjoys life. You can see by her smile,” said Joan Garritty, executive director of the Rich-mond Kinsmen Home Support Society, which operates the day centre.

“She’s got a great spirit.”

City falling behind on rentalsFrom Page 1

City staff recommended approval, and suggested us-ing the cash to boost a part-city project at 8111 Granville Ave., which is expected to provide more than 100 subsi-dized rental housing units by spring 2016.

The planning committee hasn’t ruled Intracorp’s plan out but wants to explore other options fi rst, including a partial cash-in-lieu contribution that could still see some aff ordable units built near the oval.

Coun. Bill McNulty, committee chair, said Richmond is falling behind in aff ordable rental housing, and said he’d like to see it integrated in new projects.

“We need to encourage people to include that in ma-jor developments,” he said. “On this one, we’ve got to be careful because it’s by the oval. Are we saying that we don’t want any rental housing over by the oval?”

A year ago city council voted 8-1 to grant the exclusion to developers of two new riverfront communities. Coun-cil dropped the requirement for the neighbouring River Green, and Parc Riviera on the North Arm. Coun. Chak Au was alone in opposition, saying at the time he feared council was giving developers a strategy.

“In order to get a step into the door they may promise it in the beginning,” he said. “If we then let them backpedal in the middle of the stream, it’s unfair to everybody. That’s the kind of thing I want to prevent.”

At a public hearing, advocate De Whalen warned coun-cil Richmond would become a city of “rental ghettoes” if developers get their way.

“How will the city ensure we have complete and vibrant neighbourhoods, with varying ages, ethnicities and in-come levels?” she said.

The World Cup can be a humbling experience for

rich countries when they discover that their team of football heroes can lose to one from a country they’ve barely heard of, but that is one of the things that makes the World Cup great.

Top football talent can come from anywhere in the world, and the pow-erhouses of the sport can come from unexpected places.

In Brazil, the top 32 teams in the world are meeting head-to-head to deter-mine which country will claim the honor of being World Champs. We will soon fi nd out where these countries rank in the world of football, but I couldn’t help but wonder how these countries compare in their eff orts to feed their citizens. How do these na-tions fare in the World Cup of Food Security?

But how do you assess where a country stands in the rankings of food security? Not surprisingly, that isn’t easy, since it depends on a great many factors that intertwine with others. To answer this

question, the Economist Intelligence Unit (part of the Economist Group that publishes the Economist Magazine) designed a research tool called the Global Food Security Index to analyse food insecurity in 105 countries, looking at factors like food supply aff ordability, availability, quality and safety. The Economist is keenly inter-ested in this because good food security is a leading indicator of a country’s social and political stabil-ity, key factors that wealthy individuals and businesses need to assess before mak-ing investments.

So who is the World Cup of Food Security Cham-pion? It’s the United States of America.

Was that surprising? They are the richest country in the world, so it shouldn’t be. But what makes them number one? The Global Food Security Index con-siders food aff ordability,

availability, quality and safety as key indicators. Richer countries have the resources to address all of these concerns, and America leads in most of these.

But what about the other countries in the World Cup? How do they compare? Since there are thirty one other countries, we can only look at trends here. The host country, Brazil, is ranked 33rd in the world. The other South American countries all fall in the 30-40 range, with the exception of Ecuador at 56th.

Western European coun-tries all fare well, fi lling out many of the top twenty spots, while former Soviet bloc countries reside in the 40s. Russia itself is ranked 40th. Asian countries like Ja-pan and South Korea come in at 21st and 25th, while the African countries fare quite poorly, dropping way down the list, with the Ivory

Coast at 76th and Nigeria coming in last at 87th.

It should be noted that these food security rank-ings are an aggregate/average of a country’s per-formance, and can mask those who are dispropor-tionately aff ected by diff er-ences in socio-economics and race.

While these rankings seem to tell a predicable story, there is some wel-come indicators that give hope. Chief of these is that overall, food security worldwide is improving. According to Foreign Aff airs, Trade and Devel-opment Canada, in 2009 an estimated 1.02 billion people didn’t have enough to eat. But as of 2013, the number of people suff er-ing food insecurity has shrunk to 870 million. Though this is still a hor-rendous number, the trend downward is welcome.

You can see this trend developing if you look

at the 3-year indicator of change in the Global Food Security Index. The country that has shown the biggest improvement in that time is the Ivory Coast, which has improved 6.2%. Many of the other African countries have seen steady improve-ment. But not everything is well. Perhaps the most unwelcome news here is that the richest countries in Europe are showing notice-able declines on this scale.

And as for Canada, where do we stand? We are 8th worldwide, but showing a slow but steady decline in food security. While this may shock some Cana-dians, it is no surprise to people who advocate for food security. For example, poverty is a prime cause of food insecurity, and British Columbia has the highest child poverty rate in Canada, even though we are a rich province. The rate stands at 18.6%, a full 5% above the national average and almost double that of our neighbouring province, Alberta. Obvious-ly food security is not just an automatic outcome of wealth, but of good policy and political will.

In football, the World Cup seeks to crown a single victor, but in food secu-rity, this would be tragic. In the World Cup of Food Security, the best result is if all sides win.

EDITORIAL: Don’t nix mixed oval housing

There’s a mix of all types of hous-ing in every corner of Richmond, thanks to the wisdom of city

planners who realized that creating ghettos was in nobody’s best interest.

But Richmond council is on the precipice of making a monumental mistake by letting a developer skirts his obligations to build aff ord-able housing in the Richmond Olympic Oval precinct.

It would in eff ect be a very real third strike for council—after two previous swings and misses involving other developers who were given the green light—which would in the end result create an exclusive neighbourhood of well-heeled residents lacking those of more modest economic status.

On Tuesday, the city’s planning commit-tee heard a proposal backed by city staff that

would allow Intracorp to donate $4.6 million instead of building 29 low-end market rental housing units at River Park Place in a stand-alone building.

Sure, that $4.6 million would be dedicated to building aff ordable housing in the down-town core—sensibly located near mass transit including the Canada Line—but at what cost?

Imagine the joy of this developer, who stands to benefi t greatly from having no social housing near its 586 homes billed as “the new luxury.”

Who wants a dented old Honda ruin the image of a gleaming Rolls Royce or Bentley by parking right beside them?

Does the developer stands to recoup some of that $4.6 million by being able to charge more for those 586 units simply by removing a perceived blight that would otherwise ruin their exclusive view?

In addition to this one project, two other

council decisions last year are lining up to cre-ate a type of neighbourhood that city planners have for decades managed to avoid.

Last year, city council granted a similar exclu-sion that Intracorp is seeking to River Green and Parc Riviera.

It seems Coun. Chak Au is the only member of council who has the right perspective.

“In order to get a step in the door, they may promise it in the beginning. If we then let them backpedal in the middle of the stream, it’s unfair to everybody. That’s the kind of thing I want to prevent,” he said of developers.

Advocated De Whalen saw it similarly.“How will the city ensure we have complete

and vibrant neighbourhoods, with varying ages, ethnicities and income levels?” she said.

The reality of council’s decision is some-thing we’ll all have to live with for decades to come.

Editor:Travelling is a wonderful way

to see and experience the world. Whether you travel for business or for the fun of it, the community you travel to benefi ts in so many ways.

Your dollars created opportunities for their youth to work and gain valuable experience and money for university or college; the revenue generated because you stayed in paid lodging increased the number of people working in that commu-nity; and, the taxes you paid on the restaurant bill or while shopping as-sisted their government in provid-ing the people of that community with services like policing, fi refi ght-ing, community centres and much more to make their city or town a

wonderful and safe place to live.The same thing happens here in

Richmond every time someone comes to stay in a hotel or stay with a friend or relative.

June 16 to 20 is Tourism Week in Canada and Tourism Richmond would like to thank Richmond residents, business operators and government offi cials for making Richmond a wonderful visitor destination.

In 2013, visitors to our homes and hotels stayed 6.5 million nights in Richmond and they spent over $575 million in our Richmond businesses. Imagine how many jobs that touched and created. Was anyone in your family working in a restaurant, retail store, hotel, taxi, at-

traction or event this past year? All of us in Richmond have much to be grateful for because someone from outside of Metro Vancouver chose to stay and visit in Richmond.

Join Tourism Richmond in celebrating our vibrant tourism industry this summer. Invite your friends and relatives to come ex-plore Richmond. Visit your tourism resource centre at the Steveston Museum, Post Offi ce and Visitor Centre located on Moncton Street, or you can source new and exciting places to take your visitors at visit-richmondbc.com.

It’s an easy way to grow our local economy. Just invite someone!

Editor:We have been enjoying the new gre-

enway along Railway Avenue for over a year now and we must admit that the city has done an excellent job.

Love the patches of wildfl owers, the new trees will provide welcome shade once they start to grow and the biggest surprise were the new signs where the old B.C. Electric stops used to be.

Too bad someone got them wrong.Walk from Francis to Woodwards to

Cottages and you see the distance to Vancouver going from 12.8 miles to 13.1 miles to 14.3 miles. Going further south at Branscombe the distance all of sudden is 13.8 miles and at Garry/Wye the distance is (again) 14.3 miles, the same distance indicated further north at Cottages. Obviously Cottages and Wye cannot be the same distance from Vancouver, so, who screwed up here, the crew painting, or the engi-neer detailing the plan?

Editor:I expect my taxes to support a quality

public education system. That includes stable classroom conditions conducive to student learning and optimal teacher engagement with those students, i.e. small classes, educationally stimulat-ing classrooms, confi dent and creative teachers who are free to devote their energies to the students without con-stant externally imposed stress from the province.

I fi nd the current climate of labour ne-gotiations with teachers to be absolutely unacceptable. I blame the government, for ignoring contract and constitutional

law, and for underfunding and over-loading the educational system. This has been exacerbated by appointing Mr. Fassbender to the portfolio. He has been aggressive, publicly combative and provocative. My positive suggestion is to remove Mr. Fassbender from the equa-tion. There are many capable MLAs; here in Richmond-Steveston our John Yap has shown his ability to work calmly and with eff ect. In short, I urge the premier to put Fassbender out, and quickly get a negotiated settlement by putting some-one more eff ective on the portfolio.

health

When every moment counts, you want to be able to rely on a team of experts who understand your challenges.

If the illness or emer-gency you face is beyond the scope of what your family doctor or walk-in clinic can provide, Richmond Hospital’s Emergency Department is here to care for you and your family, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The demand for emer-gency care in Richmond has continued to increase. With a rapidly growing community and the fast-est growing senior popu-lation in B.C., Richmond’s Emergency Department is seeing nearly 10 per-cent more visits than the previous year.

Richmond Hospital’s emergency team is

committed to deliver-ing high quality and compassionate care and we are proud to have Dr. Matthew Kwok, emer-gency physician and UBC clinical assistant professor, as part of the team. Born in Hong Kong, Dr. Kwok grew up in Winnipeg and moved to study medicine here at UBC. He gradu-ated in 1999, completed a residency in emergency medicine at the University of Toronto, and fortunately for us, returned to practice at Richmond Hospital for the past eight years.

As one of a number of emergency physicians who call Richmond home, Dr. Kwok is a skilled doctor and a tireless advocate for patients and the health of our community. Here, he shares his perspective on the wonderful care that is provided to those who visit the Richmond Hospital Emergency Department:

“What attracted me to come work here at Richmond Hospital is the team. It’s a really compe-tent and compassionate group. There are quite a few physicians who have worked here for more than 20 years. That tells

me it’s a great place to work. They like it here and they’ve stayed.

“It’s the perfect-sized hospital. I know everyone by name, which really helps with better patient care. We work together better because we know each other so well.

“From a doctor’s perspective, it’s a very interesting place to work. We care for people of all ages, from babies who are a few days old to adults over 100 years old, from the sickest patients to those with more minor injuries. I help people with all kinds of illnesses and conditions.

“Richmond Hospital is also important to me be-cause like a number of my colleagues, I live here. The hospital provides care for

my family, my children, my extended family and my friends. It’s personal.

“The government tries their best to invest in health care, but taxpay-ers’ dollars are limited. We always need donor help because our commu-nity is growing and the number of people visiting the Emergency Depart-ment is growing as well. We want to continue to deliver the highest quality care that our patients expect.

“Donors help us purchase additional pieces of equipment so patients don’t have to wait for our sole unit to become available. That is how donors can improve Emergency care. Through the generosity of donors, Richmond Hospital is a much better place and much better equipped.”

Please consider making a gift. Your donation, combined with those of others, will have a positive impact on many patients and families. See www.richmondhospital foundation.com for info.

Natalie D. Meixner is president and CEO of Richmond Hospital Foundation.

Safety Tip:As schools begin their summer break, there will be more children around the roads. Road safety is not always top of mind for kids, so make sure you pay extra attention, especially around

playgrounds where speed limits remain in effect year-round.

Question of the WeekFour-time F1 champ Sebastian Vettel got behind the wheel of a kart when he was just three-and-a-half years old and was racing at age eight. Should we encourage teens to follow that example, as a way of learning about vehicle speed and control before getting their first license at 16?

Hot laps with F1 World Champ Sebastian VettelBOWMANVILLE, Ontario. Four-time Formula One world champion Se-bastian Vettel has been driving since 1991 – 20 years less than yours truly.The Infiniti-Red Bull Racing Team lead man was only three-and-half years old when he took the wheel on a kart in his native Germany. He began racing four years later at the ripe old age of eight. He has a few years under his safety harness but he’s always up to learn from his elders.Last year, the 26-year-old wunderkind showed off his driving skills to me and buddy Brian Makse – a man also with racing pedigree – in an Infiniti FX50 Vettel Edition FX on the Paul Ricard Circuit in the south of France. We both figured his cornering needed work. Seb’s seat time with us clearly paid off as thereafter he won his fourth straight F1 championship. It came as no surprise then that he would jump at the opportunity to take the wheel again alongside me. Brian wasn’t available but I headed here to the Canadian Tire Motorsport in Ontar-io to work the magic again. The affable young guy has had a tough start to the F1 season, battling with the new hybrid technology.I put in some time first with retired F1 driver and now ace BBC TV F1

commentator David Coulthard on an auto cross track, laid out in the shape of the Infiniti logo. As I finished my turn at the wheel of the Infiniti Q50, the Scot sent me off to Seb with the words: “No cones were hurt in this filming . . . ”I’ll take that as a compliment for my error-free drive.Buckled up in anoth-er Q50S ($47,450), I wondered if Seb would demonstrate an improved cornering technique as we did a hot lap together around the reputedly fast 3.95-kilometre track. He

greeted me warmly, I thanked him for a hat he had kindly autographed, which I recently auctioned off. He was pleased to hear it had raised hundreds of dol-lars to help send local leukemia-strick-en teen Ryan Fagnan and his family on a last vacation, shortly before he died. We roared out of the pit lane through the first turn and continued to accel-erate downhill – close to 170 km/h – towards the second turn. Locals told me the stretch to the turn features a number of camber changes down to the second turn, scene of most of the track’s fatal crashes. Gulp.Obviously, nobody had cautioned him as he whipped the family sedan effortlessly round, talking about how he relaxed as we drove. Movies with happy endings apparently. Ah, the same conclusions he likes to F1 races.

“There haven’t been too many of those lately,” he joked, pressing harder on the metal, perhaps to make a point. As Infiniti Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products, rather than merely offering his name as a celebrity endorsement. He talked enthusiastically about the new com-pact, performance-oriented Q30, which should see the light late next year in Europe and a little later in Canada. The 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 Q50S we were riding in also benefitted from a little of his input. He’s clearly looking forward to Infiniti giving the go-ahead to the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which features the Nissan GT-R’s growling 560-horsepower twin-turbo V6. Another corner loomed and I leaned into the door, as he barely slowed from the rapid pace we had zipped along the straight. “Your cornering has improved since last year,” I offered cheekily.

“Thank you, I think I’ve got the apexes about right,” he grinned. Hours earlier, it’s doubtful he had even heard of the tricky track, nevermind driven it. Harkening back to his references to happy endings, I reminded him that after driving with me last year he had enjoyed nothing but success.“That’s right . . . it’s all down to you,” he said with what I believed was a thoroughly genuine smile of appreci-ation.The end was nigh. Time flies when you are having fun: our hot lap and friendly chat took less than four minutes.Last Sunday, he enjoyed only his second podium finish of the year taking third place at the Montreal Grand Prix. You’re welcome, Seb. Same time next year, in the Eau Rouge?

The Mazda MX-5.

‘‘There is so much goodness dialled into this little car that it rewards the driver and passenger hour-after-hour.’’Zack Spencer

by Zack Spencer

With a flash of lightning beside our car, my co-pilot Alexandra Straub let out a screech as loud as the ac-companying crack from the massive flash.

Pouring rain in our tiny car made the very first day of the 2014 Mazda rally one to remember. The Mazda MX-5 (Miata) is a car most would associate with sunny, summer top-down driving but this little machine was determined to show what it was made of. The howling wind, torrential rain and debris-covered roads were all taken in stride as we carved our way through the Tennes-see mountains on our way to the Brasstown Valley Resort in neighboring Georgia.

Over the next three days, we experienced the MX-5 on some of the most dra-matic and scenic roads this continent has to offer, and there was money on the line, big money.

Last year was the inaugural Mazda Rally, which Alexan-dra and I won, taking home $10,000 in charity money for Kidsport. As last year’s champions, we had extra pressure this year to repeat, something we later found out would be much tougher than we had imagined.

If you ever take a drive through the south east of the United States, do yourself a favour and divert away from the interstate highway system and experience driving nirvana, traversing the Blue Ridge, Unico and Smokey Mountain ranges. The lush National and State parks along with small towns and twisting river valleys is something to experience.

This is a destination for drivers too, especially the “Tail of the Dragon”, a section of highway 129, just inside the North Carolina border that has 318 turns over an 18km stretch. This is a favourite of motorcycle riders but it is open to anyone wanting to experience back-to-back corners ranging from very tight to wide, sweeping turns. Our run up this road was wide open thanks to steady rain, with a few dozen motorcyclists out for a tour and several photographers taking pictures, then selling them to tourist, the same way you can buy a picture of your rollercoaster ride at the PNE!

Paved roads are the place the MX-5 shines, wet or dry. It never felt like the car was out of control, even on the fastest and most aggressive

corners. There is so much goodness dialled into this little car that it rewards the driver and passenger hour-after-hour. With a front engine, rear drive setup and perfect weight distribution, the MX-5 has been one of my all-time favourite cars because of its simplicity.

The small, light, thrifty dimensions matched to a raspy 2.0L 4-cylinder and 6-speed manual makes for a fantastic power-to-weight distribution, meaning the 160hp engine might not sound like much on paper but, in practice, it makes the most of every situation.

One thing Mazda’s event planners has us do was drive and collect information for each days challenges. All of these were kept secret until the beginning of each drive, including the roads we might travel. A surprise was that some sections were unpaved. Taking Mazda’s brand new MX-5 through forest back-roads at speed, meant rocks flying, branches felled from the previous night’s storm kicking up, sliding sideways through corners and pounding over rough and rutted gravel.

At the end, the MX-5 showed no signs of wear; it just powered on to the next challenge, which was an-other surprise, the Atlanta Motorsports Park for an autocross challenge. To say we went from one extreme to the other is an under-statement. An hour earlier I was sliding across gravel roads, followed by sliding around a racetrack trying to avoid pylons to dial in my best lap time. As it turns out I did get the second best time of the event but one of those pylons got in the way, knocking down my time by two seconds, all part of the challenge’s rules.

Over the three-day event, Alexandra and I didn’t have one disagreement, I made

some navigational errors and so did she. We let it roll, these were long days and we hoped a few small glitches wouldn’t impact our score too much. We also missed one major clue in our guidebook, one that was worth a whopping 50 points. At the end, we had slipped from second place after the first day to fifth place. Sadly, next year we won’t be able to proudly display the number one on the side of our Black Press car.

The 2011 model year edition of the Ford Mustang, coupe and convertible, came with a more menacing frontal appearance and, under hood, new engines produced more power with less fuel. So, you could also call it the “meaner and leaner” revamp.

Appearance changes on the 2011 included new head-lights and revised lower fascias, fenders and grille, plus a power-dome hood that allows additional air cooling to the Mustang’s new engines. At the back, new three-light LED lamps sequentially signal a turn, reminiscent of the muscle car years.

The Mustang GT convertible models came with improved body rigidity with 12 per cent more lateral stiffness versus the previous year. In addition to newly strengthened structural members, under its hood you’ll also find a (race-style) tower-to-tower strut brace.

Even the new base 3.7-litre V6 engine packs a punch as it can deliver 305 horsepower and can rev to 7000

rpm. Its rated city/highway fuel economy is an impres-sive 10.7/6.4 L/100km. And its power-to-weight ratio is almost double the previous base engine offering.

Moving up a trim the Mustang GT has a 5.0-litre V8 under its hood. This engine is also a four-valve, all-aluminum engine, only this one is can pump-out 412 horsepower. And sounds great doing it! City/highway fuel consumption is rated at 11.8/7.9 L/100km and a larger (cast aluminum) oil pan also extends oil change intervals. The GT also comes with electric power-assist steering (EPAS), an upgraded braking system with vented discs all around and an enhanced suspension. GT buyers could also add a California Special appear-ance package and a Brembo brake and wheel package.

A six-speed manual transmission was standard and automatic option was also a six-speed. This automatic has a grade-assist or “hill mode” feature that prevents sixth gear selection on a steep up-hill drive, plus engine braking going down a hill.

There is another limited production edition of Mus-

tang, the priciest and speediest pony of them all, the audacious Shelby GT500. Power comes from a super-charged 5.8-litre that can produce 650 horsepower and it can also deliver over 600 ft-lb of tire-smoking torque.

On the inside, a Mustang offers two-plus-two seating, which translates to limited leg and head room for the rear seat occupants. While Mustang’s trunk is not huge, it’s a little bigger and easier to access than the trunk in arch-rival Chevrolet Camaro.

Both the Coupe and the Convertible editions of Mustang claim very good crash test safety ratings. Con-sumers Reports gives it “recommended buy” status and reliability has been average to better-than-average, with the V6 engine versions being slightly more dependable.

The 2012 model year brought the re-introduction of a Boss 302 coupe edition, with a high-output 5.0-litre V8, plus a new Premium trim level of the V6 edition. Select-able electric power-assisted steering, with Comfort, Sport and Normal settings, also became standard on all models.

The 2013 Mustang got lighting that is even more distinctive and some minor exterior tweaking. A new SelectShift Automatic transmission with a manual shift feature was a significant mechanical upgrade and the 6-speed manual gearbox also gained a Hill Start Assist feature.

An iconic American car, the Ford Mustang offers classic styling yet can also be a reliable and reasonably priced used sports car and a great driving experience.

A rare Mustang T5 is revealed on the eve of the big showby Keith Morgan

The focus of a recent Driveway feature was unveiled this week at 360 Fabrication in Abbotsford earlier this week.

The 1967 Ford Mustang T5, owned by public rela-tions executive Laura Ballance, will take pride of place first at an exclusive preview for the second annual Vancouver Collector Car Show & Auction. Then it will go on public display at this weekend’s event at the PNE Fairgrounds, where more than 600 vintage vehicles will be on display and nearly 150 classic rides will go on Maynard’s auction block.

Some other show highlights: a bright ‘A&W orange’ 1966 Plymouth Satellite will be auctioned off with no fees, no reserve, and 100 percent of the proceeds going to the MS Society of Canada. The duPont Registry is bringing eight ultra-rare vehicles from across the Lower Mainland for the first ever duPont Series – including J.D. Rockefeller’s Lincoln Town Car Limo. The Vancity Stunters will be performing motorcycle stunts and Barracuda, the Heart tribute band, will be rock out on Saturday night.

If you want to check out the restoration process for the T5 and view a photo gallery, you can do so at Drivewaycanada.ca

(604) 821-1133Just behind the Richmond Home Depot

driveway

by Ian Harwood

You can feel your voice get deeper when you climb aboard this big guy.

The 2014 Chevy Silverado HD I tested recently featured a 6.6-litre Duramax Turbo V8 diesel engine, mated to an Allison 6-speed automatic transmission, capable of putting out 397 horses and provides 765 lb ft of torque.

It gets deeper. This guy can carry up to 1706 kg and tow up to 8119

kg. And the truck box has load-bearing upper hooks are

rated to hold 113 kg each.

InteriorThe interior is very well organized, comfortable leather

12-way front bucket seats that are heated and cooled. The rear seats are a 60/40 split. Heavy use of dark wood burl is very prominent and gives the truck a different level of sophistication.

The navigation screen is positioned perfectly and is easy to program without distracting you from the road. Steering wheel controls help with all radio functions and incoming phone calls. The dash could have been better, lots of plastic and not that appealing. Safety

There is a single stage driver and front passenger airbag. An OnStar protection service is available, and offers direct communications between emergency services and the vehicle.

An electronic immobilizer is standard equipment and

prevents the vehicle from being started without the key. Forward collision alert, lane departure warning and safety alert driver seat are all standard.

RoadworthyThe steering is very direct and responsive and makes driv-

ing a large truck very easy. There is no fighting the steering wheel which can be a problem with other trucks in this category. The cab is very quiet and you can barely hear any road or tire noise. The diesel engine is a little noisy but not a big concern. The EZ lift tailgate is a nice feature, espe-cially opening with one hand, gone are the days when the tailgate just drops and almost takes out your hips.

Towing capabilityThis vehicle can tow up 8,119 kg and combined with the

improved trailer sway control makes towing enjoyable. The stabilitrak control system can sense if your trailer is swaying and help control it by combining the power of the engine and the braking system to keep the trailer under control. The rearview camera is a nice touch helping to align the trailer during hookup. Hill start assist is a good feature and helps prevent you from rolling back on a hill by maintaining brake pressure until the engine delivers enough torque to move the truck up the hill.

Fuel economy15.8/10.2 L/100 km (city/highway)VerdictNot too long ago driving a heavy duty truck with a diesel

engine meant you were in for a bumpy ride, not to mention the noise and smell of diesel fuel. Not now. Fast forward to today and the ride is smooth, the noise is greatl y reduced and you can hardly smell the fuel. These trucks still work hard as ever, but are also used as mobile offices, meeting rooms, and for family outings.

Steveston actor stars in The Other Place, which makes its Canadian premiere this month


Daryl Shuttleworth doesn’t as-pire to hand out speeding tickets and fi ght crime on the streets of Richmond—he just looks like he does.

“People at parties go, ‘Are you a cop?’ No I’m not a cop, but for some reason I give it off , and you can’t fi ght it,” said the 53-year-old in an interview.

In a 30-plus-year career as an actor, the Steveston resident has played his fair share of cops. He’s soon to appear as a detective in the upcoming BBC America series Intruders starring Mira Sorvino and John Simm, and his fi lm and TV credits are long on authority fi gures.

Shuttleworth has turned down the heat, so to speak, for his lat-est role that’s bringing him back

to a Vancouver stage for the fi rst time in 12 years. Shuttleworth plays an oncologist in The Other Place, a new play by Sharr White making its Canadian Premiere this month at the PAL Studio Theatre.

The actor was bit by the acting bug at Annieville Elementary School in North Delta, where he grew up. He later attended University of Victoria and gradu-ated from the National Theatre School of Canada in 1983. He’s performed on stages coast-to-coast, but in more recent years fi lm and TV roles took over, as Shuttleworth balanced work with raising three children.

Now, after years away from the stage, he’s jumping back on to face the fourth wall.

“Last year I said: I have to do some theatre. I just have to do it,” he said.

2014 AMATEURPHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR CONTEST

From Page 19“I had to make a concerted eff ort to

get back on stage. That meant going to Prince George to do a show, and then right after that going to Regina to do a show.”

His fi rst role was small, his second much larger.

“That was a bit of a trial by fi re. It was good though—great—and it reminded me of all the reasons why I love theatre.”

The Other Place takes us into the world of Juliana Smithton, a suc-cessful neurologist whose life takes a disorienting turn. Her husband Ian has fi led for divorce, her daughter has

eloped with a much older man and she’s forced to confront a crisis that’s put her health in jeopardy.

The psychological thriller premiered in New York in 2011 and enjoyed a Broadway run at the Manhattan Theatre Club that starred Laurie Metcalf (of Roseanne fame). Starring in a contemporary piece is right up Shuttleworth’s alley—the actor cut his teeth on new plays—and this critically-acclaimed script off ers plenty of sur-prises to hook audiences in Vancouver.

Said Shuttleworth: “It’s a great play. It’s emotional, it’s surprising, it just takes your breath away because you just don’t know what’s coming.”

Explosion inside tower leads to evacuationPolice recover remains of incendiary device at 7888 Saba Rd.

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

An explosion outside a sixth-fl oor elevator at a Saba Road residential building has prompted Richmond Mounties to ask for the public’s help in fi nding an-swers.

Around 9 p.m. on Monday, Richmond Fire-Rescue responded to a report of a fi re inside the building at 7888 Saba Road, near No. 3 Road.

The incident prompted the evacuation of the entire building and a closure of the nearby streets, but ulti-mately no fi re was found.

Instead, the remains of an incendiary device was found that caused “a small amount of damage” to an area near the elevators.

“It is fortunate no one was injured when the device went off ,” Richmond RCMP Cpl. Ashton said.

Ashton said the device was “more like a big fi re-work,” but said the pieces will now be analyzed at a laboratory.

Richmond RCMP’s Serious Crime Unit is now con-ducting the investigation, and canvassing the area for witnesses and reviewing video surveillance foot-age for potential suspects.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212, or call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Bullhead Derby is back this Sunday

There’s no better way to reel in summer than by partaking in the Bullhead Derby.

The fi rst day following summer solstice, the Richmond Golden Rods and Reels Society’s an-nual event—now in its 25th anniversary—Sun-day’s exercise in angling is also the offi cial kickoff to the 69th annual Steveston Salmon Festival.

Pack your lawn chairs, fi shing rods and barbless hooks and join the crew for a fun-fi lled morning at Garry Point Park.

Sponsored by Nikka Fishing and Marine, Pajo’s Fish & Chips and White Spot Ackroyd, the derby is open to kids 12 and under and seniors 65 plus. Registration gets underway at 9 a.m. and the der-by begins at noon. Fishing licenses are required and volunteers will be on-hand to issue them. All participants will receive a souvenir ribbons and be eligible for many more prizes.

River Rock organizing show on 10th anniversary to benefit Richmond Family Place


River Rock Casino Resort is organizing a benefi t concert for Richmond Family Place, featur-ing Tom Lavin and the Legendary Powder Blues.

The June 24 show will feature the music of a three-decades-old Ca-nadian blues band whose sound is a mix of swing, blues, jazz, rock and rhythm and blues.

Lavin formed the band in 1978 after moving to Vancouver from Chicago. Its 1979 debut album, Uncut, was overlooked by the big record labels. But after selling 30,000 copies in a few weeks on their own, labels came calling. To-

day, Powder Blues albums, featur-ing songs like “Doin’ It Right” and “Hear That Guitar Ring,” have sold over a million copies worldwide.

This year marks the band’s 36th anniversary.

All proceeds from the Tuesday

night show go to Richmond Family Place—River Rock’s charitable partner that supports over 5,000 local families through multiple services, educational classes and workshops.

The concert is part of River Rock’s 10th anniversary celebrations. During its time in Richmond, River Rock has supported numerous charities and community organiza-tions, including the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, Richmond Food Bank, Richmond Society for Community Living, Richmond Chinese Community Society, and Volunteer Richmond Information Services through volunteering endeavours, in-kind donations or fi nancial contributions.

The June 24 show begins at 8 p.m. at River Rock Show Theatre. Tickets available by donation ($10 per person minimum suggested) at River Rock Casino Resort’s front desk and at Richmond Family Place, 8660 Ash St.

In this economy, home-owners are watching ev-ery penny. Just because money is tight doesn’t mean every renovation plan has to be cast aside. Smaller projects can re-vitalize a room without a big investment.

Homeowners who don’t have much to spend still don’t want to compromise quality with smaller improvements. Therefore, they’re often thinking of big appeal, albeit on a smaller scale.

To get started, home-owners should look at the rooms they use the most and begin there. What’s the point of starting in a guest room or renovating the base-ment if it’s rarely used? Put available funds to work on the rooms that get seen.

For example, the kitch-en is a popular room in many homes. If budget doesn’t allow for a re-haul of appliances or cabinetry, think about less expensive ways to modify the space. A new faucet can give the room a diff erent look, as can replacing cabinet hardware and hinges. Revitalize the appear-

ance of the room with new fl ooring, such as laminate that mimics the look of stone, wood or other natural surfaces. Change the accessories in a china hutch or hang some diff erent artwork for an instant change.

Bathroom makeovers are often high on the list of improvements. But many improvements can be budget-busters. Think about improve-

ments that change what is disliked. Maybe out-dated wallpaper can be removed and replaced with paint. Clean up the grout around a bathtub by redoing to freshen the room. Go with a new color scheme achieved by replacing the old lin-ens, bath mat and show-er curtain.

Living room re-dos can be achieved with some accessory changes and perhaps a new piece of furniture. Change a glass coff ee table for an earthy leather ottoman that can also store toys or throw pillows. A simple swap of window treatments can dramatically change the look of the room. If seating has seen better days—but a new set is not an option—form-fi tted slipcovers are a quick, and generally low-cost, fi x.

Kids’ rooms often can be improved with some much-needed storage space. Clear up clutter from the fl oor by install-ing a closet organizing system, which can hang

clothes within reach for children. Older children may appreciate a room that refl ects their matu-rity. Now is the time to change princess prints for bolder graphics or dump trucks for so-phistication. All it often takes is a little paint and some new bed linens to achieve the look.

For a dramatic change in a home with hard-wood fl oors being hid-den by carpeting, take the weekend to pull up the carpeting and reveal the fl oors beneath. A little sanding and reseal-ing is often all it takes to bring out the beauty of the wood. And that will instantly provide value while increasing aes-thetic appeal.

Another simple and very inexpensive way to renovate a home is to reduce. By removing clutter and items that are simply collecting dust, homeowners can breathe new life into spaces. Rearranging furniture is also another option.

It’s a great time to renovate

Replacing cabinet hardware is a budget friendly way to update a kitchen.Photo from www.thinkstockphotos.ca

Think green when time to renovate

1. Install low-fl ow faucets, shower heads and toilets that reduce the consumption of water in the household.

2. Motion-detector lights can be installed in dif-ferent rooms of the home and outdoors. Lights will automatically turn on and off depending on the activity in the area.

3. Solar panels can be installed on the roof or in the yard to power various components of the household, like lights during a traditional power outage or the swimming pool fi lter.

4. Insulate the entryway of your home with a storm door that will buff er against harsh weather conditions. While you’re creating a more air-tight space, caulk around windows and doors.

5. Replace air fi lters. Your HVAC system likely has fi lters inside that trap dirt and contaminants. Re-placing the fi lters leads to cleaner indoor air and helps the unit run more effi ciently.

6. Stock up on power strips and plug all of your peripherals and computer equipment into these strips. This way when you want to power down everything completely, you simply turn off the power button on the strip.

7. Fans aren’t just useful in the summer. In the winter, the blades can be set to rotate in the op-posite direction and help draw warm air into the room, heating more effi ciently.

8. Set up rainwater barrels at the downspouts of your home’s gutter system. These barrels col-lect water that can be used to water indoor and outdoor plants, or even wash the car.

9. Install glass fi replace doors. They’ll help pro-tect against heat loss up the chimney when there isn’t a fi re lit.

Stealers hosting second annual Keeley classicby Don FennellSports Editor

A year ago, Marshall Shields recognized the im-portance of paying hom-age to the longtime “Voice of Steveston Park,” and so with the full support of the fastball community the Richmond Stealers organized the inaugural George Keeley Memorial Fastball Tournament.

Seven teams partici-pated in the fi rst event last June, and because of its success a second annual tournament is planned for this Friday and Saturday at the venerable Moncton Street ball park.

“George dedicated a lot of time to fastball in Richmond and this is why we’re doing this—to rec-

ognize his contributions,” said Shields. “And this year we’re trying to raise funds to make a donation in his name to cancer research in B.C.,” added Shields, whose Stealers’ team will be one of at least fi ve clubs in this weekend’s classic which begins with a 6:30 p.m. clash between the Stealers and Richmond Canadians

at 6:30 p.m., followed by the Richmond Mariners versus Port Coquitlam An-gels at 9 p.m. Play resumes at 9 a.m. Saturday, with games every 90 minutes until the fi nal at 7 p.m.

Surrey Rebels—which won last year’s inaugural tournament by defeating the Stealers with a dramat-ic grand slam home run in

the bottom of the seventh inning to overcome a 6-1 defi cit—have also con-fi rmed their participation.

Led by Ryan Campbell and Tyler Lindgren, the Mariners lead the Lower Mainland Premier Men’s Fastball League with a 7-0-4 record. In a rebuilding mode, the Stealers—fea-turing former Team BC ju-niors Ryan Shields and Jake and Sandy Doyle and led by longtime pitching ace Darren Strang—sit in third place. And the always-competititve Canadians, led by Brad Miller and for-mer Richmond Sockeyes’ goaltender Kevin McKay, are fi fth.

•Richmond Bantam A Mariners of the Richmond Boys’ Fastball League will be operating a concession

during the Keeley classic, with proceeds going to support their upcoming entries in the Western Ca-

nadian championship and B.C. Summer Games.

The Stealers will also be welcoming national teams

from New Zealand and Australia for a few exhibi-tion games at Steveston Park in early July.

Ryan Shields will be among the participants in the sec-ond annual George Keeley classic this weekend.

The future is now at the Rich-mond Country Club.

Armed with at least a three-year commitment, pro circuit tennis is set to debut locally this weekend with the launch of the $15,000 Richmond Futures.

Sanctioned by the International Tennis Federation, the 2014 draw June 21 to 29 will feature several up-and-coming internationally-ranked players in the men’s event. Among them are familiar local names such as Filip Peliow of North Vancouver (ranked 236th in the world), Philip Bester (419) and Brayden Schnur (564).

“Our whole objective is to in-crease the awareness of tennis in the Richmond area,” says Rich-mond Country Club tennis pro Henry Choi, who in addition to serving on the organizing com-mittee is also committed to play.

“(Worldwide) tennis is boom-ing. Tennis Canada, within the last decade, has put a lot of re-sources into the sport and the long-range plan is to make it a successful sport here,” said Choi, 33, who is originally from To-ronto.

“One of the ways is by trying to improve the system in which kids learn the game. In Toronto and Montreal, especially, a lot of resources have been put into high performance and you see the results with the likes of Mi-los Raonic (ranked ninth in the world) and Eugenie Bouchard (the 13th ranked women’s player in the world).”

Historically, tennis has also been seen by many as a sport

for the elite. But Choi says that’s changing, with more private clubs opening their arms to high-performance programs and more public facilities being constructed.

“There are a lot of diff erent factors as to why tennis in B.C. is growing,” says Choi. “Certainly one factor is the emergence of players on the international scene likes (Vernon’s) Vasek Pospisil (currently ranked 35th in the world) and Rebecca Marino (the Vancouver woman who de-cided in early 2013 to take an in-defi nite break from tennis after reaching the ranking of 38th in women’s single play). I think it’s built a passion for the sport in B.C. after kind of being an after-thought. No one really came out of B.C. before.”

Though the Richmond Futures is an entry-level professional tournament, the calibre of play-ers is more than deserving of support. Choi says the players

are keen to move up the rankings and through events such as this that can happen quickly.

“Everyone has a starting point and having success at an event like this really builds on your world ranking,” he says. “And it helps too when you get a strong fi eld this like featuring a lot of guys who’ve already done a lot of good things in tennis and a bunch of future stars in the game. I think seeing them in ac-tion will inspire a lot of younger players in our programs at the moment.”

The Richmond Futures, with Davis Trading as the title sponsor, is among a growing number of pro circuit events in B.C. The Stan-ley Park Open, traditionally one of the biggest amateur events in North America, is also set to be-come a futures tournament this year. Kelowna Future Tennis, June 28 to July 6, is also part of the International Tennis Federation-sanctioned Pro Circuit.

Richmond Futures set to debut

Henry Choi will also play in the Richmond Futures he’s helping to organize June 21 to 29 at Richmond Coun-try Club.

Western Coin & Stamp

Q: I have been trying to bring in a batch of scrap gold to sell. How long will the meeting take? Also, do I need an appointment before I come in?

A: You do not need appointments to bring in merchandise to sell, but certain days are better for some things than other days. Canadian coins can be brought in Monday thru Saturday. World coins should be Monday, Wednesday or Friday. Stamps should be Tuesday or Thursday.Scrap gold jewelry and sterling silverware or jewelry needs to be brought in on Monday, Wednesday or Friday.

I am the person in charge of buying these and those are the days I am in. How long it takes depends on how many items you have to sell. We have speeded up the process with the purchase of a new gold testing machine. This machine is top of the line and determines the exact purity and composition in less than 30 seconds.

For those of you who remember my old machine, sometimes it took up to 5 minutes for me to get results. With this new unit I can now test smaller pieces than was previously possible. The machine tells me if an item is plated or not, then the Karat of gold and the composition of the rest of the item. I can also test for Platinum and Palladium.

Note: We have been overwhelmed with phone calls regarding the news story about the $2.00 bill that sold for $20,000. I am sorry but there is no way we can tell you over the phone if yours is the expensive one. The one that sold in auction for that price had the three letter prefi x of “AUG’’ and the signature combination of “Thiessen / Crow”. The bill with “AUG” and “Crow / Bouey” signature is only worth $30 in new condition. I sell a brand new condition 1986 $2 bill in a package for $4 . Used notes are normally only worth face value.

Q: Why do I need to be adjusted on a regular basis?

A: Patients frequently question the need to be adjusted on a regular basis. It seems logical to wonder, “if this body is so great, why does the spine seem to subluxate so easily?”. If you consider our 21st Century lifestyles and the things we do each day, we should wonder how our spine stays in place at all. Consider the daily time we spend standing, sitting and sleeping incorrectly. Everyone knows we are supposed to lift objects with our backs straight and our knees bent. Yet, how often do we fail to do this? Falls, accidents and injuries to the human body are absorbed to some degree by the spinal column, putting excessive pressure on the nerve roots. Our bodies are so wonderfully constructed that they can adapt and compensate for most of the things we constantly do to abuse them. However, the stress and strains we continually subject ourselves to should convince each of us the importance of regular spinal examinations and adjustments.

Q: Can hearing aids help people with tinnitus? (Part I)

A: Tinnitus is a very common symptom for people with hearing loss. It has a clear negative impact on quality of life. Tinnitus can be perceived in many different forms, such as hissing, buzzing, whistling, ringing etc. It may present intermittently or permanently. The causes of tinnitus remain unclear; however, research has shown that factors such as stress, anxiety, depression, fatigue, noise, may exacerbate tinnitus.

Research also has shown that hearing aids may effectively reduce the negative impact of tinnitus. A hearing aid is a small electronic device that you wear in the ear or behind your ear. A new type of hearing aid with “Tinnitus SoundSupport” function has been designed to successfully alleviate tinnitus symptoms by generating nature-like relief sounds and soothing tones which are used for Tinnitus management programs.

Q: Rob….I am tired of running out of propane and lugging heavy BBQ tanks to be refilled. How hard is it to add a natural gas connection point to my patio?

A: A lot easier than you might think. It’s a matter of locating a suitable connection point to your current natural gas supply and running a new line to your preferred location of your natural gas barbeque. Lines can either be run underground, through a crawl space, or strung to the outside of your home. Today’s manufacturers have come out with flexible natural gas lines that have done away with the days of threading, coupling, and painting steel pipe. This allows this work, in most cases, to be completed within a few hours to one day. Some barbeques can even be converted from propane to natural gas via a conversion kit, but if your bbq has seen better days, it may be more cost effective to simply purchase a new natural gas bbq. No matter the case, all work needs to be completed by a certified natural gas installer, registered with the BC Safety Authority. After that…. sit back, relax, and never worry again about how much propane you have left in the tank.

Q: What are the dangers of UV light?

A: As the weather becomes warmer, many find themselves outdoors for long periods of time soaking up as much Vitamin D, and unfortunately Ultra Violet radiation, as we can. These harmful rays can cause a variety of eye problems, including cataracts, macular degeneration, non-cancerous growths on the surface of the eye and even cancer of the eye and eyelids. Though these diseases take many years to develop, the risk accumulates every time the eyes are exposed to sunlight.

These eye diseases can be prevented by following a few simple tips. Firstly, sun damage can occur all year round, so be sure to wear sunglasses with UV coating and broad-brimmed hats whenever you’re outside. UV rays affect everyone from children to seniors, so be sure your family is protected. Furthermore, UV rays can pass through haze and clouds, so don’t be fooled by overcast skies.

Q: What illnesses are linked to poor oral health?

A: Disease #6. Alzheimers.

Research done at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) has reported that people with poor oral health may be at a greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. As I have written in previous pieces here, the presence of chronic oral inflammation and its associated bacteria are increasingly being correlated with a variety of health problems. The presence of products from inflammation (as well as the oral bacteria which cause it) in the bloodstream may trigger an immune system response by already primed brain cells causing them to release more damaging chemicals that kill neurons. This could lead to the changes in the brain typical of Alzheimer’s.

The researchers studied donated brain samples from people with and without dementia. They demonstrated the presence of a bacterium (P. gingivalis) associated with periodontal (gum) disease in Alzheimer’s diseased brains and not in those without dementia. Although other bacteria and viruses have been linked to dementia this research suggests a link between gum disease and P. gingivalis specifically, and individuals who may be at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. S. K. Singhrao, Senior Research Fellow at UCLan said “We are working on the theory that when the brain is repeatedly exposed to bacteria and/or their debris from our gums, subsequent immune response may lead to nerve cell death and possibly memory loss. The future of the research aims to discover if P. gingivalis can be used as a marker via a simple blood test, to predict the development of Alzheimer’s disease in at risk patients.”

Q: Do you have questions about Pet damage deposits?

A: Landlords can choose whether they will permit pets and charge a one-time pet damage deposit. The landlord can also restrict the size, kind or number of pets. The pet damage deposit cannot be more than half of one month’s rent, no matter how many pets are being allowed. Generally, pet damage deposits can only be used to cover costs of repairing damage caused by a pet. A landlord who lets an existing tenant get a pet during the tenancy can require the tenant to pay a pet damage deposit. Before receiving the pet deposit, the landlord must get together with the tenant to inspect the rental unit and complete a Condition Inspection Report. The landlord must give the tenant a copy of the report within seven days. Pet damage deposits cannot be charged for guide animals.When a tenant moves out When there are no problems, the landlord must return all of the security deposit or pet damage deposit, plus accrued interest, to the tenant.A landlord may want to keep some of the deposit to cover damage caused by the tenants pet(s). The landlord and tenant can agree on an amount or the landlord can apply for a dispute resolution officer’s (DRO) order allowing him or her to keep all or part of the security deposit or pet damage deposit.After a tenant has moved out and given the landlord their forwarding address in writing, the landlord has 15 days to do one of the following:• Return deposit monies, with applicable interest, to the tenant. The landlord may deduct any unpaid amount from a dispute resolution officer’s order from a previous dispute.

• Ask the tenant to agree in writing to any deductions and pay the difference to the tenant. Return deposit monies, with applicable interest.

• Apply for dispute resolution asking for an order to keep all or some of a deposit. The landlord can continue to hold a deposit until the dispute resolution process is complete.

Q: Is it too late for me to get life insurance?

A: Financial situations vary – so do life insurance needs. If you’re young and single with no significant financial obligations, you may have a minimal need for life insurance. On the other hand, if you have a young family, a mortgage or high living expenses, you may have an enhanced need for insurance protection.

Just as financial situations differ, life insurance solutions can also vary from being simple to complex. The good news is that life insurance policies can be customized to meet even the most complicated family situations.

In most cases, younger people with straightforward personal situations tend to obtain life insurance with relative ease. But what about the large number of people who are nearing (or well into) retirement? There is a belief that it becomes more difficult, expensive or even impossible for these older individuals to purchase life insurance. In many cases, quite the opposite is true.

Because our population is aging, some insurance companies now offer insurance plans designed especially for older clients. “Our new life insurance product provides a small amount of basic life insurance coverage without the hassle of medical tests or doctors’ reports,” says Daniel Wang, Financial Advisor, The Co-operators. “The insurance is designed to cover ‘final expenses’ – expenses left behind after you pass on, such as outstanding debts, taxes, medical bills and a funeral.”

Those who have not yet considered life insurance – and are concerned about leaving a financial burden for their family – might be pleasantly surprised by the options available today. Contact your local financial advisor for more information.

If you have any questions or want the full details about this type of coverage, please call your Co-operators financial advisor, Daniel Wang.

Q: What would you like to see a customer have with them when they visit The Firebox?

A: It is always great to have a customer with a lot of

questions prepared and who has information in hand about their pending project. I am always open to have

conversations which lead up to us both learning and preparing for a successful installation and end result.

Having information such as dimensions, pictures, plans, and even ideas showing what they would like to have a fi nished result allows me to understand their “wish list”. This, too, allows me to educate them on their options based on their unique situations For example, if they are working with a masonry fi replace, dimensions of their opening size, room size, and pictures quickly allow us to narrow down their options ensuring a good fi t. If they are building a new house or renovating to add a new feature, then construction plans provide us the guidance.

Finally, after narrowing down choices in our showroom, The Richmond Firebox is always happy to visit their home to review the options and provide an accurate quotation outlining everyone’s responsibilities.

Q: Are you an expert in your field or profession? Ready for new customers or clients?

A: Let our readers sample your breadth of knowledge as part of this informative and popular monthly feature in the Richmond Review!

Please give me a call. I’d be happy to discuss how you can join our team of experts.

Q: What does the average funeral cost?

A: Like other professional services (legal, dental, medical) the costs depend on the services, merchandise and final disposition method that the family chooses.

Each service planned is as unique as the family that makes the arrangements. The same can be said for cemetery products.

There are many variables and options that the family can chose from. Only when all options are presented, can a cost be determined.

By provincial law, all funeral providers must supply an itemized copy of their price list to the consumer.

Q: Are Android phones a significant malware risk?

A: Yes. Several years ago I banned Android devices from all my client sites. It turned out to be a pretty good prediction as over 95% of all new mobile threats are on Android devices, tens of thousands of new ones every month, and some of them could cost you dearly. There is even malware that runs on Windows that infects Android devices and vice versa. However, Android is cleaning up its act, at least on Play Store. Only .1% of the apps are now viral and usually not for long. All the other application download sites are malware laden. Apple’s IOS is not immune to malware but the numbers are very low. Windows Phone is currently a safer mobile operating system than either Android or iOS. Unfortunately market share, like the BB, is well down in single digits. Android still strong enough to give us hi-tech security types real nightmares. And, speaking of nightmares, kudos to the Supreme Court for cracking down on the Harper CONS penchant for spying on Canadian citizens. Thank goodness for the Charter.

OPEN SATURDAY 2 – 4Richmond Islanders 2000B proved last week-end that with hard work, dedication and team-work, they have the ability to rise to the top.

Finishing fi rst overall in the round-robin of the Richmond Girls’ Fastball Invitational at London Park, the Islanders went on to play the Junior 2001B Islanders in the semifi nal cruising to a 12-1 win. Then they de-feated the 2000B North Delta Sunfi re 6-1 to win the gold medal.

The season has been a challenge for the Island-ers, who lost two key players in the off -season to “A” teams and have had to rely on one start-ing pitcher, Kayla Da-vies, and a cast of new up-and-coming relievers to remain competitive. However, the patience paid off starting Friday night with an impressive 8-3 win over North Delta, followed up on Saturday by wins over Ridge Mead-ows 1-0, 01 Islanders 9-0 and a loss to the eventual bronze medal winners, Langley Extreme 6-4, the only blemish on a week-end were they earned fi ve wins against a single loss.

Davies was brilliant in pitching the majority of innings throughout the weekend, combined with great spot relief by Shanelle Gutenberg. The strong infi eld defence of Ayden Forte, Jes-sica Porter, Josie Cooke, Capri Horstmann, Ken-zie Wrightson and the impressive outfi eld of Sheetal Reddy, Emma Chan, Mackenzie Reid and Riley Yodogawa—com-bined with timely hitting by the entire lineup—proved to be the winning formula.

The 2000B Islanders are coached by Chris Davies (head coach) who is as-sisted by Troy Cooke, Cat Wheatley, Ed Yee, Brad Reid, Terry Chan and Mark Davies.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

By Kerry Vital

Nanaimo’s Melissa Tolsma describes herself as a “reluctant renovator.” If something isn’t broken, there’s no need to fi x it, and duct tape can fi x anything that is broken.

However, when she saw the opportunity to enter last year’s Reno Me! with FortisBC contest and win $10,000 towards a renovation with natural gas, she decided that her outdoor space could use a bit of sprucing up.

Aft er winning the contest, her renovation adventure began. Tolsma notes that she’s always cold, so having the warmth of natural gas was tops on her priority list.

Currently, one of the most popular options

that use natural gas is a fi re pit, which will be an integral part of Tolsma’s renovation and something she is particularly looking forward to.

“My eight-year-old daughter is very excited about having a year-round s’mores facility right in the backyard!” Tolsma says.

According to FortisBC, outdoor natural gas fi replaces and fi re pits allow you to spend more time outdoors, even in the cooler months. Th ey’re also more convenient for homeowners, who won’t have to spend time chopping wood or dealing with uncontrolled smoke and fumes or spitting embers. Like all natural gas appliances, they provide instant heat and are available in a variety of styles.

Tolsma’s cast concrete fi re pit, from Solus Decor, is expected to arrive soon, and contractor Brad Fraser of Jonker Custom Building has been hard at work.

“Brad is working on two cedar benches to be installed next to the fi re pit,” Tolsma says. “I’ve had fun spending way too much time on Houzz, gathering ideas and images that have really helped to shape the project.”

Th e fi re pit is just the beginning of Tolsma’s ongoing outdoor space renovation.

“I’m going to have my licensed gas contractor extend the gas line to accommodate a gas barbecue and heater in the future,” says Tolsma.

FortisBC notes that a natural gas barbecue

can be extremely convenient for homeowners looking for fuel on demand, as you’ll never have to deal with running out of propane or charcoal. It also allows you to cook with diff erent temperatures at the same time and control the heat more easily.

Natural gas barbecues use fl exible hoses that connect to the home’s natural gas supply and have a built-in shutoff . Th is quick-connect feature makes it simpler to attach as well. Another benefi t is that cooking outdoors will keep your home cooler during the warm summer months.

Photos submitted by FortisBC, above and top right, and Melissa Tolsma, rightBarbecuing with natural gas is extremely convenient, as it uses the home’s natural gas supply and homeowners are able to grill with several different temperatures. Reno Me! with FortisBC contest winner Melissa Tolsma is looking forward to the installation of her new natural gas fi re pit as part of her natural gas renovation.

Natural gas possibilities inspire renovators

After hiring Jonker Custom Building, she worked with contractor Brad Fraser to make the plans fi t her space and her lifestyle.

homeProfi le

In addition to using natural gas for outdoor living, Tolsma is including a new deck in her outdoor space renovation.

“Th e deck is built with locally harvested cedar, and has a lovely, earthy West Coast feel to it,” she says. “Brad even built a custom raised garden box with some of the left over lumber. I’ve been busy with some landscaping and gardening work, so it’s all starting to come together.”

Another option for using natural gas outdoors is a hot tub, with its consistent, fast heat and automatic safety shut-off controls for added peace of mind. Plus, avid swimmers will be glad that natural gas can also heat swimming pools.

Th e possibilities for natural gas use outside continues to inspire renovators. Depending on where you live, natural gas patio heaters keep you warm outdoors, even in the fall and winter. Th ey use radiant heat to warm objects around them, according to FortisBC, and are connected to your home’s natural gas supply. You can also fi nd natural gas patio lamps that can be used to light walkways, patios and other outdoor entertaining spaces. Th ere are models available that provide bright steady light or ambient natural glow, so you’re easily able to create the mood you want for entertaining.

Natural gas is a convenient choice for more than just spending time outside.

Th e inside of Tolsma’s home is heated with natural gas as well.“With a small house like mine, I love that my gas furnace can heat the

house to a comfortable temperature within a few minutes,” says Tolsma. “I don’t have a fi replace inside, so I’m looking forward to having a natural gas fi re feature on my new deck.”

Whether you’re upgrading your heating system or extending natural gas to the backyard, you’ll need the services of a licensed natural gas contractor. Find someone qualifi ed in your neighbourhood at fortisbc.com/fi ndacontractor.

Th e cost to operate natural gas appliances is very aff ordable. Natural gas rates continue to cost less than it would cost to run with electricity. Don’t believe it? FortisBC has an online energy calculator that will help you compare the cost of fuel sources and their energy effi ciency, demonstrating that natural gas is an aff ordable choice for homeowners. Find it at fortisbc.com/energycalculator.

Tolsma is blogging throughout her renovation. Find her blog on your local Black Press newspaper’s website, or at www.bclocalnews.com/business/realestate.

“I’m looking forward to having a deck launch party next month, and I will be inviting all my awesome family, friends, co-workers and neighbors who helped me win,” Tolsma says. “Th ere will be burgers and s’mores galore!”

You too could enjoy natural gas in your backyard. Enter FortisBC’s Endless Summer Nights Contest for your chance to win a $10,000 natural gas dream patio. But hurry, the contest closes June 30, 2014.

Johanna (Annie) Elisabeth Maria Zylmans – Obituary

Zylmans, Johanna (Annie) Elisabeth Maria, born Septem-ber 06, 1924 in Geertruiden-berg, Netherlands; passed away with her family by her side on June 13, 2014 in Richmond, British Columbia.

Predeceased by her husband Wim, her two sisters Jo and Adrie; lovingly remembered by her daughter Adriana, her son William (Sandra), two grandchildren Angela and William, and numerous nieces and nephews in the van Dongen and Zylmans families in Canada and the Netherlands.

In her youth in Holland, she was the “melk meisje” (milk girl) on her father’s farm. She milked the cows and peddled milk door-to-door with a hand-drawn cart. Over the years, she had a passion for playing the accor-dion and singing at many social gatherings. She enjoyed spinning wool to make wool sweaters and heavy work socks to be worn with the Dutch wooden shoes. She was married on August 10, 1948 and immigrated to Canada six days later via the boat “Tabinta” out of Rotterdam, arriving in Steveston, BC on August 31, 1948. In 1955, together with her husband Wim, she established one of the fi rst and most successful direct farm marketing enterprises in BC, W&A Farms Ltd. She loved selling strawberries, potatoes, and many diff erent vegetables directly to consumers. Th e roadside stand was her idea, not her husband’s, which continues today aft er 61 years, now operated by her son and his wife.

Mom actively promoted Dutch culture in BC through a variety of Dutch organizations and by participating in many festivals, celebrations, and parades, including being the fi rst to start wearing Dutch costumes at these events. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother (Oma), aunt, and sister-in-law, who had a tremendous work ethic and a strong Catholic faith. She was dedicated and loyal in supporting her husband Wim in achieving their dreams in farming. In addition, people in the Dutch and larger community enjoyed her energy, enthu-siasm, and her zest for life. She will be lovingly missed by her family, as well as throughout the community.

In lieu of fl owers, the family has requested that dona-tions be made in memory of Johanna (Annie) Zylmans to Vancouver Foundation's Wim Zylmans Agriculture Memorial Fund, which supports the Wim Zylmans Agriculture Memorial Scholarship. Donations over $25 will receive a tax receipt Donations can be made online at www.vancouverfoundation.ca http://www.vancouver-foundation.ca or by phone at 604-688-2204. Cheques can be mailed to Suite 200 - 475 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC V6B 4M9 and payable to Vancouver Foundation with "Wim Zylmans Agriculture Memorial Fund" noted in the subject line.

HARTLEY, Doris Barbara (nee Lenheiser)

May 22, 1928 - June 3, 2014Doris passed away peacefully on June 3, 2014 at Delta View Life Enrichment Centre, Delta BC. She was preceded by her husband Bill Hartley, mother and father Joan and Herbert, brother Lorne, and sisters Jean and Lois. She is survived by her sister Helen, children Bill (Della), Leslye Szymczak (Peter), Janice Gibson (Brad) and Heather Jones (Michael), grandchildren Aimee, Fraser, Morgan, Becky, Kate, Matt, Joe, Dan, Stuart and Brian and great-grandsons Baron, Sam and Will.Doris was born in Kindersley, Saskatchewan and moved to Vancouver with her family in the early 1930’s. She attended King Edward High School, but left to begin employment at Jantzen of Canada in 1945 until 1986. During those years, Doris met Bill Hartley at Bow-en Island and married in 1950, making Vancouver their home until 1957 when they moved to Richmond. They enjoyed life around family, friends and their dream backyard and pool. The happy couple ven-tured beyond Richmond, on a few tropical holidays before Bill was taken so suddenly. After retirement, Doris went back to school and upgraded her education at Douglas Col-lege and began volunteering at Richmond General Hospital and then at Fraserview Care Home where her mother lived her fi nal years. Doris continued to enjoy life with a passion for walks in Steveston, knitting and quilt-ing, gardening, her special times with her children and grandchildren, decorating the family home during festive holidays and occasions.

Rest peacefully, Mom/Gramma. We will love you forever.

Thank you to the Delta View and Gilmore Gardens staffs for their care and kindness over the past fi ve years.In lieu of fl owers a gift to the charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family.A celebration of Doris’ life will be held at a later date.

Roadrunners, Shamrocks slatedfor Sunday showdown

There’s plenty on the line this weekend when the Richmond Roadrunners and Victoria Shamrocks face off in a B.C. Intermediate A Lacrosse League Sunday matinee at Minoru Arenas. Game time is 2 p.m.

A mere two points separate the teams, with Victoria (8-1) holding the edge on fi fth-place Richmond (7-4).

Both teams head into the game confi dent. In their most recent outing June 8, Victoria handed fi rst-place Port Coquitlam (11-1) their fi rst loss of the season by edging the Saints 8-7. Richmond, meanwhile, had won four in a row (12-6 and 18-6 over Burnaby, 14-8 over Nanaimo and 12-8 over Maple Ridge before bow-ing10-9 in overtime to Port Coqutlam Wednesday at Minoru.

Captain Jayden Campbell scored six goals (includ-ing the fi rst two of the game) and Nick Jensen added a pair to power Richmond past Burnaby in its second

meeting versus the Lakers last Thursday at Bill Cope-land Arena.

Chandler Bradley had two assists in the game whichagain featured strong goaltending by Graham Husickof the Roadrunners who made 37 saves.

Campbell was coming off a three-goal eff ort versusNanaimo June 8. Tre Leclaire also had a hat trick, whileBradley and Patrick Ludemann each tallied twice.

Tied at 4-4 after a period, Richmond came out strongin the middle frame to outscore Nanaimo 7-2. Theythen edged Nanaimo 3-2 in the third period. Goal-ie Eric Kratz kept Nanaimo from scoring along withhis strong defensive group that was backing him up,while Richmond’s off ence made their shots count.

Richmond has been awarded the 2014 provincialchampionship to be played at Minoru Arenas Aug. 1to 4. It was last played here in 2010.

Richmond’s Chandler

Bradley has been

consistent at both ends of the fl oor this

season.

Stephanie Chan photosJustyna Lam, 13, has had only three haircuts in her lifetime, the last at Hennessy Salon in Richmond Cen-tre, where she was recently joined by her aunts, Joanne Saunders and Kelly Weeks (right). While the hair salon donated the expertise, the trio donated their locks—along with $2,000 from fundraising—to the Wigs for Kids Program at BC Children’s Hospital, with program chair Bev Friesen delighted to ac-cept them. Lam and her aunts did the same thing four years ago. Hennessy will host its fourth-an-nual Hair Do on Jan. 11, 2015 at its Richmond and Park Royal South locations, where stylists will donate money for regular cuts and styles by a minimum donation ($20 for men, $40 for women). Hair must

be a minimum of eight inches long, with donors encouraged to raise

pledges (form available at www.wigsforkidsbc.com) in the interim.

Martin van den Hemel photoAberdeen Centre’s Joey Kwan is dwarfed by this gigantic locust, which looks like it’s about to pick her up and fl y off , while it is brought to life by Kokoro Exhibits’ Shane Dzicek. The Giant Bugs Take Over Aberdeen Centre exhibit runs from July 1 to Sept. 1, and features six massive animated insects, an interactive bugs' heads' display and a sampling of food made from bugs.

Mega-sized exhibit begins July 1, features six humongous insects by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

The Walt Disney fl ick Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, might come to mind when shop-pers enter the atrium at Aberdeen Cen-tre, which is now crawling with gigantic, marauding insects that wouldn’t have been out of place in the Steveston-fi lmed Godzilla movie.

Giant Bugs Take Over Aberdeen Cen-

tre is a fantastical new exhibit that starts July 1, featuring six humongous insects brought to life via animatronics.

There’s a 16-foot-long locust that rears up and spreads its 21-foot-wide wings, as though it were about to leap over the mega-sized grass blades and into the air.

A Chinese praying mantis serves as an imposing greeter to the exhibit, stretch-ing more than 21 feet and facing the mall’s front entrance.

There’s a pair of 20-foot black horned fi ghting beetles, a stick insect, and a cat-erpillar, too.

All this, along with an interactive bugs' heads' display, comes courtesy Kokoro Exhibits, based in Woodland Hills, Calif.

Shane Dzicek said it will take him and his team about three days to set up the display. The six giant insects were cre-ated after consultation with biologists to ensure the proportions and colours of the creatures was correctly replicated, he said.

The insects are made of foam and sili-cone, with aluminum subframes, he said.

Customers are also dared to chomp down on some genuine bug food, which Aberdeen Centre’s Joey Kwan has herself tried, and she survived the experience.

She hopes the exhibit meets the mall’s goal of being fun, interactive and educa-tional for everyone.

The exhibit runs through Sept. 1.

City mulls cash-in-lieu deal for ‘luxury’ condosCouncillors mull third proposal to scrap affordable housing in a new development


A developer’s request to forgo the addition of aff ord-able rental apartments in its luxury Oval Village project is giving pause to elected offi cials.

After granting permission to two developers last year, councillors are giving greater thought to the latest re-quest to provide cash in lieu of aff ordable housing, re-ferring the matter back to staff at a planning committee meeting Tuesday.

Intracorp had planned to construct a standalone building with 29 low-end market rental housing units as part of River Park Place, a multi-tower development of 586 homes billed as “the new luxury,” and located near the Richmond Olympic Oval.

It’s seeking council’s permission to pay $4.6 million into the city’s aff ordable housing fund instead of build-ing the rental units. The fi gure is based on the fi ve per cent aff ordable housing required in exchange for a den-sity bonus.
