Richmond RCMP bomb-sniffing dogs wereput to work Tuesday afternoon at Van-

couver International Airport, after officialsraised the level of security following terroristattacks in Brussels, Belgium.

The airport’s CEO, Craig Richmond, toldmedia that YVR was on a “heightened levelof security,” although there was no specificdirective from the federal government afterThe Islamic State (IS) group reportedly tookresponsibility for killing 30-plus people intwo separate attacks in Brussels, includingone at the country’s international airport.

Richmond had a scheduled publicannouncement to draw attention to theairport’s new contract with China`s XiamenAirlines. He began the event with a momentof silence for the victims of the attacks,which occurred around 12 a.m. PST.

YVR does not have any direct flights toBelgium and no flight delays were reportedout of the airport on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Metro Vancouver Transit

Police stated Tuesday the agency had takenextra security precautions along the transitsystem.

On Tuesday, Hon. Ralph Goodale,Canada`s Minister of Public Safety andEmergency Preparedness, reported no cred-ible threat to the country. “Canadians can beassured that when the security and intelli-

gence sector receives a credible threat, theywork with the appropriate partners to ensurethe safety of our citizens,” said Goodale.

“At this moment, we have no reason tochange Canada’s threat level. I encourageCanadians to stay alert and stay vigilant, andto report any unusual or suspicious behav-iour to local police.”

The B.C. Civil Liberties Association saysconstitutional questions may arise over

the City of Richmond’s decision to requiresome English on city-owned bus shelterads.

The city has stated its new contractwith an advertising company (potentiallyPattison Outdoor Advertising) will stipulatethere should be bilingual messaging onits ads, found on bus stop benches andshelters.

This is in stark contrast to TransLink’sinsistence that it cannot regulate languageon its own ads, such as at Canada Line

stations and on the back of buses.TransLink told the News there is no

legislation in the province or any munici-pality to enforce signage or ads in any ofCanada’s two official languages, Englishor French.

Ergo, “TransLink has no authority todeny advertising on that basis. If peoplewant to advertise, as long as it meets ourown advertising guidelines, we acceptit,” noted TransLink spokesperson CherylZiola.

Those guidelines were heavily influ-enced by a 2009 Supreme Court ofCanada decision that ruled TransLinkis a public agency that is subject to an

individual’s right to freedom of expres-sion under the Charter of Rights andFreedoms. The decision was made afterTransLink had refused to place a politicalad on its property and was subsequentlytaken to court for not doing so.

The city contends it can regulate its ownsigns and ads, as opposed to enforcinglanguage requirements on private busi-ness signs via a bylaw, which it decidednot to do last year following public consul-tation.

“I see this being very akin to the Trans-Link situation,” stated Josh Paterson, ex-ecutive director for the B.C. Civil LibertiesAssociation.

TransLink could place language require-ments in its advertising policy, howeverit would be subject to a court challenge,and thus the public transportation agencywould need to prove, under Section 1 ofthe Charter, that there are demonstra-bly justified reasons to limit freedom ofexpression.

Similarly, city council was advised that itcould create a language bylaw for busi-ness signs, however, it was a matter ofwhether or not it could be proved that theEnglish requirements were a reasonablelimitation on the Charter (specifically,

Between their quintet, they boast 141years of playing a sport they fear is on

its last legs in Richmond.The group — Patrick Fung, Ed Teranishi,

Shawn Ho, Dave Breen and Murray Iseli —are five of a 25-strong crowd who play rac-quetball at South Arm Community Centre’stwo courts up to four times a week.

Demand for the 66-year-old sport, whichis very similar to squash, has waned overthe last few years and the communitycentre now has the city’s two remainingracquetball courts.

And with South Arm Community Associa-tion and the City of Richmond currentlyconsidering a plan to increase fitness floorspace, at the expense of one of the courtsand a squash court, the racquetball com-munity is fighting for the future of its sport.

“We’re down to the last two courts in thecity and to take one of them away would bevery damaging to the sport,” said one of thefive, Teranishi, who has been playing for 37years, 25 of which at South Arm.

“It won’t affect squash as much, becausethere are plenty of other squash courtsaround Richmond.

“There used to be a league based out ofSouth Arm, but it folded a few years ago;people are getting older, I guess, and not asmany younger ones coming through.”

Teranishi said there used to be othercourts across the city but now everyonetravels from all over Richmond to SouthArm and some come from the Marpole area

to play. Teranishi and his fellow racquet-ball players have spent the last few weeksputting together a petition with more than200 signatures pleading for the courts to besaved.

That petition was handed to City ofRichmond staff during a meeting with theplayers last week.

“We didn’t know the community centrewas considering this until very recently,”added Teranishi.

“We met two weeks ago with city staffand gave them our input and we were toldthey’re going to look at it again.”

Both the city and the community associa-tion are justifying the direction being takenbased partly on a gradual decline in rac-quetball bookings over the last few years.

However, Teranishi said the bookingsdon’t tell the full story of the number ofplayers still involved in the sport in Rich-mond.

“There are sometimes 12 or 13 peopleusing those two courts, playing doubles andwhatever,” he said.

“So it may look like one booking, butthere are many of us playing at the sametime.

“This could kill the sport in Richmond. It’sa very social sport; afterwards we all go tothe Pioneer Pub. But this will make it veryhard to get court time.”

City spokesperson Ted Townsend saidthe demand for fitness facilities has grownbeyond the capacity of the existing centre.

“At the same time, there is shrinkingdemand for the four courts and we’re look-ing at eliminating one of each to allow theexpansion to happen,” Townsend added.

“We understand the users of those courts

are concerned about that and they’ve hadmeetings with the city. But nothing hasbeen determined at this point…the associa-tion is still looking at all the options.”

Rob Dodman, community associationpresident, said that, although the city ownsthe building, the association is “listened to,”as they operate the programs.

“We’re always trying to optimize the spacethat we have and the space is very limited,”explained Dodman.

“We’ve had some concerns for a numberof years that the (racquetball court) usagehas dropped significantly.

“Whereas, the fitness space is crammed

and people are wanting more space andour numbers are showing that.”

Dodman said, as well as looking at thebookings numbers and drop-ins, recom-mendations from the staff at the centre arealso taken into account.

He added consultants have been calledin to help with the proposed renovations,but no funding has been approved.

“So, the price we have in mind is still verymuch unknown. It may be a phased ap-proach, depending on the funding.”

Dodman said the association is “stilllooking and still trying to do what’s best foreveryone in the community.”

TransLink not about to follow Richmond down bus shelter ad path

whether Chinese-only signs are harmful tocommunity harmony).

Paterson said the city could face asimilar type of challenge regarding its busshelter ads and thus may need to proveits English requirementsare justified limits on theCharter.

The city’s decision was,however, welcomed bycommunity activist KerryStarchuk, who is questioningwhy TransLink won’t followthe City of Richmond’s suit.Starchuk said she and manyother Richmond residentsare frustrated by the growingprevalence of Chinese-onlyor predominantly-Chineseadvertisements at publictransit stops.

“I pay property taxes tofund TransLink and want a refund. I donot support signage that is not inclusive toall cultures,” said Starchuk, via an emailto the Richmond News.

Notably, in January, Coun. Chak Auexpressed his disappointment in a mostly-Chinese Budweiser beer ad in front of

Richmond City Hall.But Paterson said it was his associa-

tion’s opinion that English was not underthreat in the province or in Richmond.

“I’m not sure anyone is making a cred-ible argument that English as a languageof commerce is under threat in B.C,” said

Paterson, who questionedhow the city could dem-onstrate language require-ments at city-owned busstops are justified limitationsto the Charter.

“English speakers aren’tbeing shut out of theseproducts,” added Paterson.

“These kinds of restric-tions aren’t justified and wethink, in our legal opinion,that they’re constitutionallyvulnerable.

“I’m not sure what pur-pose (the city) could pointto and say, ‘Gosh, that

Budweiser ad has got to be in English.’What is the public purpose there?” askedPaterson, who noted English requirementsfor public signs for health and safety ordirections would likely demonstrate ajustified limitation, if they were ever chal-lenged.

English speakersaren’t being shut outof these products.These kinds of restric-tions aren’t justfied...– Josh Paterson,B.C. Civil LibertiesAssociation

It was one of the most punitivemunicipalities in Metro Van-

couver during the 2015 droughtwhen it came to enforcing waterrestrictions, but now the City ofRichmond is proposing to relax itsown water use bylaws, for practi-cal purposes.

In a report to Richmond citycouncil’s public works committeeWednesday, city planners are pro-posing to lift a ban on all aestheticwindow washing during Stage 2water restrictions.

The reason for the change, out-

lined in the report, is that becausethe Greater Vancouver WaterDistrict Board (Metro Vancouver)approved water use by commer-cial cleaning services for aestheticpurposes last month, city staffbelieve enforcement would bedifficult as bylaw officers wouldbe required to determine if thecleaning service was performedcommercially or privately prior toissuing a ticket.

Furthermore, the city contendsthe new GVWD amendments areunfair to residents who can-not afford professional cleaningservices.

“This causes the issue of

financial disparity and presentsunfair treatment to low-incomeresidents,” noted the report.

It’s noted that Metro Vancou-ver prefers to have its rules alignwith those of each municipality,however it is not able to issuefines or penalties to municipalitiesapplying discretion.

Metro Vancouver conducted areview of its water restrictions inNovember, following an unprec-edented drought in the region, lastsummer.

One of the problems discovered,via consultation with municipali-ties and businesses, was monitor-ing and enforcement challenges.

“Local government staff notedthat inconsistency in monitoringand enforcing the restrictionsresulted in confusion for residentsand businesses, which hinderedcompliance with the regulations,”noted a Metro Vancouver report.

Meetings were held with busi-nesses associated with water use,such as golf courses, windowwashers, turf farms, irrigationcompanies and nurseries.

Another major concern raisedwas the financial impact to suchbusinesses.

In addition to the immediate lifton aesthetic cleaning during Stage2 restrictions, the board will also

allow exemption permits to waternew lawns or for treatment tocontrol the European chafer beetleduring Stage 3 restrictions.

In 2015, the City of Richmondcame down hard on water wastersduring the summer’s record-setting heatwave — to the tune of$208,200 in fines.

On the back of 50 written warn-ings, a total of 407 violation ticketsat $500 each were issued, mostlyin August, by city bylaw officersduring Stage 3 restrictions, whichbanned lawn sprinkling of anykind. The proposals must stillbe endorsed by Richmond citycouncil.

Chances are, there’s a little bit of KaySakata’s green-thumbed handiwork

gracing a lot of Richmond gardens.The Steveston resident — who turned 100

on March 11, although her official birthdaywas on Monday (March 21), the date herbirth was actually registered — has beenknown for decades as the person behind alush green spot in the heart of the historicfishing village.

According to family members, who helpedher celebrate the landmark, trips to placessuch as London Heritage Farm would oftenleave her with a smile of delight on her face.

“She’d say, ‘Oh, I’ve got flowers like thatin my garden,’” said Lise Mercier, Sakata’sdaughter-in-law.

“And she did, because Kay would giveaway plants and cuttings from her owngarden that ended up in places like LondonFarm over the years.”

The beauty of Sakata’s garden outside thefamily home on First Avenue became sowell known, that it became a regular stopfor countless people, who would stroll byand have a word with the “gardener.”

It became a regular thing that when afriend — just about anybody qualifiedfor that status with the affable Sakata —dropped by, they would leave with a plant.

That love for the outdoors and cultivatinga rich and colourful landscape came fromgrowing up on her family’s seven-acre farmthat was located on Garry Street, near thevillage.

She went to elementary school at nearbyLord Byng, and later graduated from Rich-mond High in 1933.

When her family was interned during theSecond World War in the B.C. interior, sheended up meeting a handsome, youngfisherman, Shozo Sakata, and the two weremarried in Grand Forks in 1949.

The couple moved back to Stevestonshortly afterwards and moved into the FirstAvenue house, where she still lives today.

They had two children, Carol-Lyn andAdam.

A good part of her working life, throughthe 1960s and ‘70s, was spent at the local

cannery (B.C. Packers). And as a skilledseamstress, she would teach sewing at thelocal Buddhist temple and on the secondfloor of the Hepworth building in StevestonVillage.

But it was her love of gardening thatshined through.

Many of the flowers she grew weredisplayed in her many entries to the an-nual Steveston Salmon Festival’s Ikebana(Japanese flower arranging) competitions.She also served as parade marshal at theSalmon Festival in 2006.

Now in a wheelchair, Sakata has had

to give up hands-on involvement in hergarden. Family members have chipped into keep things tidy.

But Sakatahasn’t stoppedleading anactive life. Shewas in her80s when shedeclared tofamily that shewanted to seethe world. Andso far, she’sseen most of it,save for SouthAmerica.

She recentlyhad her pass-port renewedin hopes of oneday travellingagain.

Asked ifshe had anysecrets to herlongevity, Sakata laughed and said, “I don’treally know. I never imagined getting to be100. I guess being happy helped.”

Two arrests after bust

Araid on a Richmond home by DeltaPolice last week was part of a multi-city

drug bust that led to the discovery of alarge fentanyl lab in Burnaby.

Delta officers executed three search war-rants in Burnaby, Surrey and Richmondlast Thursday, according to Acting Sgt.Sarah Swallow, of the Delta Police Depart-ment.

Officers searched a home in the 10800block of No. 5 Road, finding “items con-sistent with drug trafficking,” accordingto Swallow, who could not release moredetails.

Two men, Scott Pipping and AdamSummers, both of Richmond, appeared inSurrey provincial court Friday afternoon.The men are facing a total of 17 charges,including trafficking in a controlled sub-stance and possession for the purposes oftrafficking, as well as possession of a re-stricted/prohibited firearm and possessionof a restricted/prohibited firearm without alicence.

The two men remain in police custodyand are scheduled to appear in court againnext week.

“During the search of the Burnaby loca-tion officers discovered a large clandestinelab used to produce what appears to bethe drug fentanyl,” said Swallow.

“This lab is believed to be one of thelargest fentanyl labs seen to date in B.C. interms of drug production.”

Swallow said any risk to the public waslow and the RCMP’s CLEAR (ClandestineLaboratory Enforcement and Response)team was on site to dismantle the opera-tion with assistance from Burnaby RCMPand fire department.

Swallow said it is not uncommon forDelta police to investigate across municipalboundaries. She noted all officers in B.C.are sworn in provincially and have suchpowers.

Swallow said Richmond RCMP providedlogistical support for the bust.

Police have not said yet how much of thedrug has been seized, however, Swallowsaid the bust “puts a huge dent” in theproduction of the drug that has proveddeadly.

In 2015, in Canada there were 471deaths directly linked to fentanyl and inthe first two months of 2016 there havealready been 132 fentanyl-related deaths,three of which occurred in Richmond, ac-cording to the B.C. Coroners Service.

“Without question, this seizure will savelives,” said Delta Police Chief Neil Dubord.“Fentanyl is a deadly drug that is colour-less and odourless and for which there isno test.

“This drug is impacting the lives of every-day people, including those who may usedrugs recreationally without understandingits consequences.”

This month Richmond Fire-Rescue washanded a new drug, Naloxone, to combatfentanyl overdoses while on duty.

LETTERSto the Editor

Dear Editor,Over the years, I have read

a few letters in this publicationthat seem to imply that racismis demonstrated by only oneparticular group in our society.

These letter writers are eitherconfused about the definition ofracism, or they are doing noth-ing more than playing the racecard as a means of silencingor getting their own way at theexpense of others.

We all know that, in fact, rac-ist attitudes are not exclusiveto any one racial, ethnic, orcultural group and in a multi-cultural society, we sometimeshave to deal with prejudicesthat are tolerated or endemicto some of the cultures we im-migrants come from, but areantithetical to Canadian valuesand principles.

From the British and Frenchwho first colonized this country,through the constant influx of

refugees and immigrants in the19th and 20th centuries fromevery European country, to thecurrent welcoming of Syrianrefugees and large numbersof Asian newcomers, we havealways faced the challenge ofhelping new citizens transcendany prejudices they may havebeen exposed to in their cul-tures of origin.

We have embraced theconcepts of tolerance, respectand inclusivity that define ourCanadian society.

And we should all understandthat, far too often, we confusewhat could be called ‘culturism’with racism — a confusion thatexacerbates whatever problemswe might encounter trying toencourage better understandingof and communication betweenvarious ethnic/cultural groups.

The first most important pointin this regard is that we do notlearn our values and ways of

thinking and behaving by wayof the colour of our skins — welearn them from our cultures.

And while racism is a despi-cable human attribute, ‘cultur-ism’ is very common and oftenjustifiable. Cultural practicesthat are accepted in somecultures can be unacceptable,condemned, or even illegal inothers.

We should be extremely care-ful in using the terms racist andracism.

These are powerful terms thatcan either be used in a positiveway to expose and solve prob-lems, or in cynical ways to hideand deepen them.

We should not shy away fromaddressing and challengingauthentic instances of racism,but we should also make surethat we are not manufacturingracism-related issues wherenone actually exist.

And we should have little

patience with claims that are, infact, based on disagreementsand problems we might havewith certain cultural beliefs andpractices, as opposed to onesthat are related to real racialprejudice and intolerance.

And we should also recognizethat racism is not incubatedin the petri dish of just onesociety or culture — it can becultivated in every part of theworld and in the minds of manydifferent people.

Jewish theologian AbrahamJoshua Herschel once wanedthat: “Racism is man’s greatestthreat to man — the maximumhatred for the minimum ofreason.”

We should heed his warningand think carefully about thereasons we might be tempted toapply the terms racist or racismto any person or situation.

Open letter to Richmond citycouncil,

I humbly ask that you consider tak-ing serious steps to save mature treesin Richmond from being choppeddown to make way for mega homes.

It starts with trees but it goes somuch farther. In the past five years,thousands of trees have been re-moved.

Just this week, a beautiful andstrong four-storey tree with a basediameter of three feet was choppeddown as it was only just inchesoutside the protected zone from theproperty front.

Trees give us oxygen, shade, pri-vacy, buffer/block noise and removetoxins from the air.

Kids climb on trees, people situnder them and animals live in them.However, they are currently expend-able to make way for unaffordablehomes to even the above-average-earning Richmondite.

In a world of finite resources andhigher pollution levels, why on Earthis our society okay with wasting solid2,800-square foot homes and the sur-rounding trees, for multimillion dollarmega homes for international buyers?

It is turning into workers livingfarther from work, parents spendingmore time commuting than with theirkids and major waste.

It’s bad enough thousands of coffeecups are disposed of daily but nowhouses and trees are disposable?

I’m sorry, but replacing maturetrees with small ornamental and lowmaintenance trees doesn’t cut it.

Bernard SoongRichmond

It’s time toput the treesto the top

Dear Editor,Re: “ESL wait list set to

grow,” News, March 16.It has come to my atten-

tion that many of our recentarrivals are awaiting Englishlessons and the waiting list isincreasing.

I also am very well awarethat many trained and quali-fied teachers (retired, part-time, casual) are eager andready to volunteer but havebeen turned away.

There is something flawedin this system! I realize thatthere is a process in place,but it is too slow.

Is there a reason that quali-fied teachers could not vol-

unteer with English sessionsfor individual families whilethey are waiting for the formalclasses to begin?

I realize that the teachermust have qualifications andpolice checks. That’s easy!These refugees need peopleto help them in a casual, butinformative way.

I am delighted to be work-ing informally with a Syrianfamily through a churchcontact.

We talk and laugh and learntogether.

I help them with what theyneed to know, not in a formalway.

I am a qualified, retired

teacher who has also doneconsulting work. Three of myfriends, retired teachers, alsovolunteer with recent arrivals.If laymen can facilitate thishelp, surely a large experi-enced organization can do so.

I sincerely believe thatvolunteers with a teach-ing background can fill thisever-widening gap as theorganizations are becomingoverwhelmed and need help.

Refugees need qualifiedvolunteers, not just from alearning standpoint, but alsoas a way of meeting Canadi-ans.

Snow geese were sight to seeHit driver where it hurtsDear Editor,Thousands of the white snow geese on their

way to the Arctic tundra, a distance of nearly3,800 kilometres, blanketed the entire parknear Blundell elementary on Sunday, March20.

These magnificent flying birds usually maketheir stopover at the George C. Reifel Migra-tory Bird Sanctuary in Delta on their returnto their Arctic breeding grounds from theirwinter haven in the southern U.S.

As to whether or not they did this timearound is a guess for this author.

It would not be surprising if the entire flockhas grown too large for one location.

Certainly, it was an incredible sight to seethem occupy an entire field in the city ofRichmond.

The stopover appeared to be just for a dayas they had dispersed before nightfall.

Not the beetle mania we wantDear Editor,We first noticed it in the fall; crows and

nocturnal creatures picking and clawing at apatch of grass in our front yard.

A very specific patch of grass, replaced bythe city after a water main replacement.

Further observation of other lawns in ourneighbourhood had the same problem. Itwas chafer beetle damage on lawns, but onlywhere the city had done work and replaced

the grass. After a few calls to the city, some-one finally came to look at the damage.

They told us the problem was the Europeanchafer beetle (which we already knew), andthat it was just a coincidence that it was onthe only piece of lawn the city had replaced.

They refuse to take responsibility for the is-sue. Is there anything anyone can do to help?

Dear Editor,Re: “Distracted driver flouts road rules —

14 times,” News, March 18.With B.C. awaiting increased penalties for

cell use and other distractions occurring forindividuals (and companies) when driv-ing, may I suggest we lead by example andimplement the heaviest penalties in NorthAmerica!

The existing penalties are not a deterrent,but merely a cash cow, and in fact, the lowpenalties have continued to contribute to toomany road deaths in this province.

Suggested penalties for B.C.:First offence:

Cell phone confiscated;30-day driving ban;

Fine of $500 or 60 days imprisonment.Second offence:

Cell phone confiscated;90-day driving ban;Fine of $1,500 or 120 days imprisonment.

Third offence:Cell phone confiscated;120-day driving ban;Vehicle of driver confiscated (if driver doesnot own vehicle, then $10,000 payable byactual owner);Fine of $1,500 or 24 months imprisonment.

If new penalties similar to this do notdrop charges by 50 per cent in the first 12months then…double the penalties!

Island City is nowConcrete City

Dear Editor,Re: “Malcolm in the

Middle,” News, March 18.I have been a resident of

Richmond for the past 19years and my decision to livehere was based on it beingan “Island of Nature.”

In the above referencedarticle, it was boldly empha-sized that Mr. Brodie oversawa record year of construc-tion in the city in 2015, withhis goal being to continuedeveloping the downtowncore. Kudos!

So, an “Island by Nature”is now nothing but a “Con-crete Jungle.”

On one hand, his ambitionto develop the city (downtowncore) may be well founded.

However, the so-calleddevelopment cannot be com-

plete and can be counter-productive if correspondingdevelopment in areas of edu-cation and health servicesare not kept pace with.

All these years I have seenthe city expanding, but I can-not recall witnessing an iotaof corresponding develop-ment in the most essentialareas of healthcare andeducation.

Such single-minded focuson so-called development(widening of tax base/cashgrab) has resulted in themost deplorable and loweststandards of healthcare andeducation with any compara-ble city. Can the situation besalvaged before it becomesirreversible?

Rescue our rabbitsDear Editor,Re: “The Rabbit Rescu-

ers,” News, March 18.Excellent follow-up to the

ongoing, glaringly unac-ceptable tragedy concern-ing defenseless abandonedrabbits in our city.

I am blessed with twovery young Richmondgranddaughters for whomI bought Cindy Howard’sRabbits Rescuers book.

One day very soon I’d liketo be able to tell them thatthis shameful situation isindeed headed toward ahappy ending.

A terrific resource is theRichmond Animal Protec-tion Society.

That facility, however, isseverely compromised interms of inadequate spaceand physical condition.

Coun. Linda McPhailinforms that a replacementstructure will be built atsome point. First, such aproject must successfullycompete with other “priori-ties,” and win the battle tobecome a reality.

If you agree that it’s morethan high time to resolvethis despicable blight inour community, let ourelected officialdom know byemailing. Happy Easter toevery-bunny.

Rain is sprinkling and the afternoon airhas dropped below 10 degrees outside

a Seafair coffee shop. Dean Saldanhaorders an iced chocolate beverage — coldlike the chill his opponents must feel atthe Scrabble table.

His wife, Sonia, knew all about his lettergame smarts — the anagram ambush,the triple word score strike — but sheagreed to play the longtime B.C. cham-pion nonetheless.

“We played once and never playedagain,” laughs the affable Saldanha, 33.“She said, ‘I’ll play any other board gameagainst you but I won’t play Scrabble.’ I’mtrying to get her back into it because sheliked the game before she met me.”

A competitive player since the age of10, Saldanha’s tournament schedulehas quieted since the arrival of his twoyoung children, but he still finds time forcompetitions.

Earlier this month Saldanha participatedin the Vancouver Scrabble Club tourna-ment in Richmond, where he played thehighest scoring word of his career.

Laying down the tiles to spell “exor-dium” (the beginning or introductory part,according to the Oxford Dictionary), he re-corded 185 points. Until then his highestpoint total for a single word was 176. Ofthe event’s two tournaments, he walkedaway with one win and one second-placeprize.

“It was a good weekend,” he says froma high table looking on to No. 1 Road.

Although born in India, Saldanha grewup in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Hisfather, Norbert, and mother, Miriam, wereregular kitchen table Scrabble players buta newspaper ad changed that.

It advertised a Middle East Scrabbletournament four hours away. They drovethere and Norbert returned with a win.Not bad for his first tournament. Next,they started a Scrabble club, which soonoutgrew the family living room.

Soon enough a young Saldanha, atage nine, wanted to get in on the game.He was tired of watching only the adultsscore points.

“They would ask me to set up the boardquite often. It’s not that tedious of a pro-cess, but of course it was back then forme as a young kid. So one day I asked mymom if I could play,” he says.

“I almost beat her, which was surprisingto her at the time.”

Three or four games later, he handedmom a loss. Saldanha soon realized hehad a keen ability to find anagrams byrearranging the letters of a word to formanother word.

“I don’t know how I came about it. Iwould be anagramming street signs, carnames and that kind of thing. It just grewfrom there.”

He became a student of the game,reading books, thumbing through the

Patrick deWitt’s Under-majordomo Minor is a

strange book.But wait, don’t put it

away — it’s the good kind ofstrange, the type that makesyou marvel at deWitt’s imagi-nation while attempting tomake sense of the world intowhich he’s dropped you.

The titular undermajor-domo (the assistant to theassistant) is Lucy Minor, alonely young man who leaveshis disinterested family totake a job in the mysteriouslyderelict Castle Von Aux.

Lucy is a pathological liar,a coward and not well likedin his small town — we meethim when he’s sickly andhalf-dead, yet his parentsdon’t care.

DeWitt’s language is remi-niscent of surreal fairy talesand his characters surpriseyou at almost every turn —none of them behave exactlyas you’d expect.

They are based on clearstereotypes: young hero,elderly assistant, aloof baron,gruff cook, etc., but deWittthrows enough curveballs foreven the most blasé reader.

Though thenovel’s basic plotis an adventur-ous coming-of-agestory, it creepstoward that genre’s

conventions only to twistaway at the last second. Thebook is full of both a certainsweet wistfulness and adespairing darkness.

Paragraphs are short, andoften break off into side sto-ries of minor characters.

It wasn’t clear or obviouswhere the story would even-tually end up.

Both dialogue and descrip-tion are fast-paced and witty,giving the novel a snappyquality that never undersellsits intelligence.

The elderly majordomo,Mr. Olderglough, is brilliantlyportrayed and his weirdlywarm conversations withLucy give the novel much ofits charm.

The novel offers no easyending, no clear resolution,and maintains a tensionthroughout even its funniestmoments.

I’ll definitely be checkingout deWitt’s prior novels,especially the critically ac-claimed The Sisters Brothers(I’ve already put it on hold),and I suspect I have a newwriter to add to my list of

favourites.If you like fairy tale humour

or just general eccentricity,this is an excellent choicefor you.

dictionary and memorizing word lists.Scrabble became a family affair. His sisters, Dion and

Dielle, also started playing tiles.Saldanha moved to Richmond with his family as a

teenager, finishing his last two years of high school atHugh Boyd secondary before completing a business andmarketing degree at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

A sports nut and hockey player, Saldanha now worksfor BC Hydro and continues to play his favourite gamewith the Vancouver Scrabble Club each week.

He’s played thousands of games in his career, in-cluding one memorable tournament match in whichhe scored a whopping 673 points, a result of scoring atriple-triple (a play that covers two triple word squares)and a double-double (covering two double word squaresin one turn) in the same game.

“I’ve always said if I’m not having fun at it anymorethen I’ll stop playing. But I just haven’t stopped havingfun. I still love the challenge of winning every game,” hesays.

“I still enjoy the anagramming, the word-finding andthe strategic aspects of the game, so I keep playing. Itkeeps bringing me back.”

Saldanha now sits at No. 5 in the Canadian Scrabbleplayer rankings and 20th in North America.

Scrabble Day is April 13, and for a player seeking toget serious, Saldanha recommends playing online wheremany of the current top players got their start.

He also suggests learning the 101 two-letter words ofthe game, and coming to the Vancouver Scrabble Club,which meets Thursday nights for friendly matches in thebasement of Oakridge Lutheran Church in Vancouver.

“Scrabble continues to be one of those games wherealmost anybody can play,” he says. “You can have ameaningful game between a young person and someonein their 80s or 90s.”

How do we define ourselves post-retirement?

Small grants deadlineapproaching

Once we retire, we’re nolonger our job title.

But how do we give up acareer that’s defined us foryears? During our lifetime,people over 55 are morelikely to have had only one ortwo careers, and our senseof self is inextricably tied toour job.

When a person leaves theworkforce they’re giving upa large part of their identity.Considering we spend mostof our waking hours at work,that’s a huge chunk.

So, if I’m no longer ShelleyCivkin the librarian, who amI?

When we meet someonefor the first time we usuallyask: “What do you do?” Wedon’t ask, “What kind of per-son are you?” or “What areyour interests and hobbies?”

We want to know what de-fines them, and that’s usuallytheir work.

So, in retirement, it’s impor-

tant to consider what elsedefines you. It could be yourfaith, your hobbies or yourvolunteer work.

It could be your status ina family — wife, husband,aunt, whatever. But some-thing else will replace yourcareer as your “new” identity.

Don’t be in a hurry though;it takes time to figure outexactly where you fit in to thisnew retirement cosmos.

Before retirement, I identi-fied as Shelley, the outgo-ing librarian. I loved beingaround people all day andhelping them.

Whether it was with librarycustomers or colleagues,I was engaged in constantsocial interaction.

And even though I’m com-fortable with solitary pursuits,I thrive in social settings.

Now that I’m retired, I haveto consciously seek that out,because I know it’s whatmakes me happy.

The thought of living asolitary, quiet life of retire-ment might seem like nirvanato some.

But those who flourish in asocial setting might flounderwhen faced with solitude.

Mind you, if you have apartner who’s also retiring,you could always spend moretime with them. However, a

24/7 spouse is a lot differentthan an evening-and-week-end spouse.

Consider widening yoursocial circle by joining a clubor taking a course with like-minded individuals.

Retirement is a time fortrying new things and livingoutside your comfort zone,so embrace the process of

exploration.Like Lyndsay Green, author

of the new book Ready to Re-tire, says: “Be open to whatspeaks to you.”

You have all the time in theworld to try new things. So,get out there and start show-ing up for life.

And remember — you’remore than just your former

job title. Finding new mean-ing and purpose in life canbe extremely fulfilling andhas the potential to open upan exciting new world to you.

Go ahead, stretch yourself.I guarantee it will be worththe effort.

TRAVELFlorida

Where Edison, Fordentertained

Mitchell SmythMeridian Writers’ Group

When inventor Thomas Alva Edison first came to FortMyers, Florida, in 1885, with plans to make it his winter

home, the people who ran the place were singularly unim-pressed. The local paper reported only that, “Thomas A.Edison, the electrician, is visiting here.”

Later, after Edison had perfected the light bulb (he didn’tinvent it: English and French scientists had made primitivebulbs much earlier), he couldn’t even interest Fort Myers inelectricity. He offered to build a power station and light thestreets, but city council turned him down on the grounds thatthe lights would keep cows awake and cut milk production.

The snubs are ironic today, since Edison is one-half of FortMyers’ biggest single tourist attraction. The other half is HenryFord. In 1916, Ford purchased the home next to Edison’s.The inventor and the auto magnate were already friends. Thetwo holidayed together in Fort Myers regularly until Edison’sdeath in 1931.

The side-by-side houses and grounds to which Edison andFord fled to escape the north’s chill are now the Edison & FordWinter Estates, a National Register Historic Site, restored tolook as they would have in 1929.

The first thing that visitors see when they come to theestates is a huge banyan tree, brought from India as a saplingabout 1925; it now covers nearly half a hectare and guidessay it is the second-largest banyan tree in the world. (The larg-est is in Maui, Hawaii.) The banyan tree is part of the eight-hectare botanical garden Edison planted. It still contains morethan 1,000 plants from around the world.

In the guided tours and self-guided audio tours, visitorssee exhibits that chronicle the lives of these two industrialgeniuses, and wander through places where Edison and Fordentertained the likes of Harvey Firestone, the rubber magnate,Ransom E. Olds, of the Oldsmobile auto empire, and presi-dents Teddy Roosevelt and Warren G. Harding.

The centrepiece of one exhibition is Edison’s 1914 Model TFord that the auto man gave to Edison. Ford wanted to cus-tomize the car by adding side windows, but Edison refused.He liked it as it was because he didn’t need to roll down thewindow to spit out the tobacco he chewed on.

The Edison Ford Museum shows many of Edison’s inven-tions, such things as stock tickers, storage batteries, motion-picture equipment and, of course, the phonograph. In all, theguides say, he took out U.S. patents for 1,093 inventions orimprovements on earlier inventions.

Not bad for a man who had only three months of formalschooling. His mother, angry that his teacher in Milan, Ohiohad said the boy “would never amount to anything,” yankedhim from school and taught him herself.n For more information, go online to EdisonFordWinterEs-

tates.org, and VisitFlorida.com.

VOICESon Wellness

DAVIDICUSWONG, M.D.Healthwise

Pay attention to your heart

With every beat, yourheart keeps every cell

of your body alive, pumpingblood freshly oxygenatedby your lungs. If your heartstopped pumping or an ar-tery was blocked, you wouldsuffer a stroke, blindness,organ failure or the loss ofyour legs.

So take a moment to thinkabout your heart. What haveyou done for it lately?

You can increase your oddsfor a long and happy life bythinking about your heartas you should your mostimportant relationships. Areyou paying attention? Are youshowing care each day? Areyou working to make it great?1. Listening (for trouble)Sometimes, it’s obvious

when something is wrong— irregular heart beats withlightheadedness; pain orpressure on exertion in yourchest, throat or arms.

Sometimes the signs aresubtle and mistaken fornormal aging: fatigue or ex-haustion, feeling out of shapeand short of breath, calf painwhile walking, and decreased

sexual function.But before self-medicating,

see your doctor.2. How do you care for your

heart?The best predictors of your

future health are the health ofyour parents and the habitsyou practise today.

If a parent or sibling hadheart surgery, a heart attackor heart failure, you shouldask your doctor to assessyour personal risk factors,including high cholesterol,diabetes and high bloodpressure.

Care for your heart bylimiting salt, alcohol and alazy, leisurely lifestyle. Don’tsacrifice long term health forshort-term pleasure.

Eat more fruits and veg-etables and other foods thatreally make you feel good. Ifyou can sit, stand. If you canstand, walk. If you can walk:run, swim or cycle. Butt out,get outside and live.3. Make a good thing greatWhy settle for good enough

when you can get great?You don’t know what you’ve

got ‘til it’s gone, and you

don’t know great ‘til you’vegot it. Your heart is anothermuscle you can train. Unlessyou’ve already been a world-class athlete, none of usknows what we can achieve.

When you’re fit and strong,everyday life is easier. You’llhave plenty of energy toshop, clean, mow the lawn,get out and dance. Everydaytasks — climbing a flight ofstairs, lifting and moving —become effortless and fast.

For those with heartdisease or its risk factors,Healthy Heart programs inyour community can safelymove you to your fittest state.Be the best you can betoday.

To learn more about heartdisease, come to my nextfree public lecture on behalfof the Burnaby Division ofFamily Practice’s Empower-ing Patients series.

I’ll be speaking on Wednes-day, March 30 at 7 p.m. atthe Alan Emmott Centre at6650 Southoaks Crescentin South Burnaby. Registeronline with [email protected] or call Leona at604-259-4450.

Global assets under management grewfrom US$2.784 trillion to US$2.992 trillion.The number of ETFs/ETPs increased from5,550 to 6,146; and the number of providersexpanded from 239 to 276.

Ernst and Young says institutional inves-tors outside the U.S. have been responsiblefor most global ETF industry growth in recentyears. An E&Y survey showed clear potentialfor stronger institutional take-up of ETFs,especially among pension funds and insurers.Active and enhanced beta funds are areas ofinterest, and E&Y notes that strong liquidity iskey to attracting institutional money.

Investors often misunderstand ETF liquid-ity. Trading volumes have a negligible effecton ETF liquidity. ETFs have three levels ofliquidity with the natural first one occurringon the stock market exchange where buyersand sellers match up. The second is throughthe activity of designated brokers responsiblefor ensuring an orderly market. The third levelinvolves underwriters who create or redeemETF units. An ETF’s true liquidity is linked tothat of the underlying securities.

The BMO S&P/TSX Equal Weight BanksIndex ETF (ZEB) is a good example. Its un-

derlying holdings are the six major Canadianbanks. Although the ETF usually doesn’ttrade many shares in a day, the bank stocksregularly trade in the millions. The daily trad-ing volume of the banks is so huge, signifi-cant trade orders can be placed for the ETFwithout affecting its price.

A quick way to assess an ETF’s liquidity isby checking the spread between buying andselling prices. A large spread between bidand ask generally indicates that its underly-ing securities may be less liquid. ETFs mustpublish all of their holdings on a daily basiswhich means investors can examine theindividual securities and assess their liquidity.Investors should be particularly mindful of thiswith ETFs exposed to the junk bond space oremerging markets debt and bank loans.

Prudent ETF investors will follow simplerules such as using limit orders on ETFtrades. These allow them to set limits on theprices at which they are willing to buy or sell.

Investors trading in international, commod-ity, or currency ETFs should make certain theunderlying markets are open. If trades aremade when the underlying market is closed,investors risk buying or selling at prices differ-ent than the ETF’s net asset value.

Trading ETFs near the open or close of themarket should be avoided. An ETF’s pricedepends on the value of its portfolio content,and it can be a few minutes after marketopen before the underlying securities starttrading. Similarly, movement in the underlyingportfolio can be volatile near market close.

The days are steadily getting longer. Thedaffodils are in full bloom in most places.

The temperature is edging upwards. And it’sjust about time to start the annual search forEaster eggs.

In Richmond, there’s plenty of ways to dothat as community centres across the city areoffering the chance to have some fun whileembarking on a quest to find some sweettreats.

But in Steveston this coming Saturdayand Sunday (March 26 and 27), there’s aspecial type of Easter egg hunt that is heldeach year, one that’s very much in keepingwith the fishing village’s history. And while itinvolves the collection of a treat at the end,like most other egg hunts, the special journeyat the Gulf of Georgia Cannery is packed withloads of information and fun.

It’s also when the “Easter Salmon” pays avisit.

“Yes, we have the Easter Salmon drop byon the weekend to greet everyone,” saidMimi Horita, spokesperson at the cannery,adding the sight of a salmon sporting a pairof bunny ears and whiskers is an immediatehit with all visitors. “It’s a lot of fun.”

So, too, is the special “salmon egg” huntconducted inside the 122-year-old nationalhistoric site that used to be one of the largestcanneries in Richmond.

“We get the kids to go in search of cluesfor salmon that are in different stages of life,”Horita said. “They start out with eggs, thengo up to alevin — the stage where they stillhave an egg sac attached to their body —then it’s on to the fry stage.

“It’s all meant to be fun, as well as educa-tional.”

Once the salmon egg hunters have com-pleted their tasks and discovered all thesalmon life stages, they can trade them in fora treat.

The hunt at the cannery (12138 FourthAve.) is open for youngsters from age two to12 and runs every half hour from 10 a.m. to5 p.m.

Cost is $3.90 for young egg hunters. Regu-lar admission of $7.80 applies to adults.

While wee egg hunters are waiting for theirturn there will be a host of arts and craftsto keep them busy. And new this year is aspring salmon obstacle course to challengethem.

“The kids can try out being a salmon that’sswimming upstream, trying to get aroundthings like log booms,” Horita said.n Elsewhere in Richmond, there is a host ofmore traditional Easter egg hunts, most ofthem hosted at local community centres.

The West Richmond Community Centre(9180 No. 1 Rd.) is holding its Easter “Egg-stravaganza” on Sunday from 10 a.m. – 12p.m. During that two-hour window young-sters 12 and under can scour the playgroundarea for Easter eggs.

Afterwards, they can enjoy a lunch ofpizza, veggies and fresh fruit, said organizerStephanie Nesbitt.

In addition to the hunt there will be a rafflefor a child’s bike, and plenty of arts andcrafts.

There is space for 100 Easter egg hunt-ers. Registration is required. Cost is $10 perchild and includes lunch for one child andan adult caregiver. Extra lunch tickets areavailable.

To register, call 604-238-8400.Over in east Richmond at the Hamilton

Community Centre Saturday (March 26) is theday for hunting Easter eggs.

The fun gets started at 10 a.m. andruns until noon. Cost is $10 per child andincludes arts, crafts and a special visit from acertain long-eared guest.

The Easter egg hunt is split into two agegroups. The one to five-year-olds start at10:45 a.m., and the six to eight-year-olds getgoing at 11:15 a.m.

After having a leading role inhelping the McMath Wild-

cats senior girls basketball teamreach the B.C. AAA champion-ship game for the first time inschool history, Jessica Zawadawill be taking her game to theCIS level next fall.

The versatile forward has com-mitted to the University of theFraser Valley (UFV) Cascades.

“I’m excited to play at thenext level with UFV because theteam is positive and inviting, the

coaches are great, and aca-demically, I like the school,” saidZawada, who plans to major inscience at UFV.

“My goals for my time at UFVare to train hard for the competi-tive university environment andto always play with tenacity.”

Zawada was not only a third-team all-star at provincials, sheearned the prestigious QuinnKeast Foundation scholarship,given to the “most complete”player at the tournament.

She was also among five recipi-ents of a Telus scholarship.

Earlier, she was a first-teamall-star at the Crehan Cup Lower

Mainland Championships andthe Richmond Championships.

She was also recognized in theProvince newspaper’s Super 16players’ list.

“I think she’ll be a greatforward in Canada West,” UFVhead coach Al Tuchscherer said.

“She’s got the ability to put theball on the floor, she’s a great re-bounder, and she’s a very goodmid-range shooter.

“It’s almost cliché to say, butshe’s a great kid, too.

“You can see it in how sheinteracts with her teammates onthe floor, and how she’s interact-ed with us during the recruitingprocess.

“She’s a real personable kid,

and anybody who talks to her isexcited that she’s on board withour program next year.”

Earlier in her career, Zawadawas a first team all-star at the2014 junior girls provincials asMcMath won the bronze medal.

Zawada is part of a recruit-ing class for the Abbotsfordschool that includes: KatherineHolden (GW Graham), VictoriaJacobse (WJ Mouat) and JessicaCameron (Western Canada HS,Calgary).

McMath teammates JessicaJones (SFU) and Bobbi-Jo Col-burn (Calgary) have also signedwith university teams.

It was only fitting the McNair Marlins andCambie Crusaders closed out their fine

seasons with games that went right downto the wire.

Playing in the shadow of their city rival,Steveston-London, reaching the provincialfinal, the Marlins and Crusaders werebusy at the Langley Events Centre inconsolation play at the BC Boys BasketballChampionships.

After three tough losses, the Marlins gota free throw from Nathan Schroeder withtwo seconds remaining to trim Prince Ru-pert’s Charles Hays Rainmakers 77-76.

The Crusaders allowed a seven-pointthird quarter lead to evaporate in their96-86 loss to the South Okanagan Hornetsto settle for 10th place in the AA side ofthe draw.

Three days earlier, both teams hadquarter-final berths within their grasp.The 14th AAA seeded Marlins stormedback from a 17-point half-time deficit andwere tied with No. 3 seed Rick Hansenwith three minutes remaining.

However, they couldn’t complete whatwould have been a huge upset, falling73-63.

A difficult time from the perimeterproved to be the team’s undoing, going3-20 from three-point range.

It was an even tougher pill to swallow forthe No. 7 seed AA Crusaders.

They took a nine-point lead into the

final quarter against No. 10 AbbotsfordChristian but surrendered a whopping 35points in a 98-85 loss.

It was another potential victory that hadslipped out of their grasp — similar toan opening round loss to Palmer at thecity championships and a heartbreakingdefeat to St. Pat’s in the Lower Mainlandfinal.

Cambie bounced back with wins overSmithers and Pacific Academy to reachthe ninth place game.

McNair also hung tough with No. 6 Wel-lington before falling 80-74, then droppeda 74-65 decision to Bodwell.

All signs point to both teams being solidbets to join Steveston-London at the 2017provincials.

While the Sharks are No. 1 in the 2016-17 AAA pre-season rankings, the Marlinshold down the No. 9 spot. That’s the sameposition as the Crusaders in the AA rank-ings.

The Marlins will bring back four starters,including Schroeder who is just in Grade10. Their bench was also loaded withGrade 10 and 11s.

With so much experience, McNair won’tsurprise anyone either, like they did withan upset win over Windermere in theMainland playoffs that secured a provin-cial berth.

They will also need someone to pickup the scoring slack with the departureof Ryan Angala who was simply superbduring the last two months. The Grade 12wing averaged 25 points per game at theprovincials.

Coach Jessy Dhillon is anxious to beginwork for next season soon.

The Crusaders will bring three startersback, including Zak Hassen and KevinDhillon who were their top scorers atprovincials.

Hassen’s athleticism could make hima match-up nightmare next season if hekeeps improving.

Offence was rarely a concern for theCrusaders. Instead, head coach ChrisMattu will focus on his team doing a betterjob of protecting the ball in the late goingand avoiding potential defensive lapses.

The team will miss seniors Riley Paulikand Tarn Dhaliwal who provided leader-ship, scoring and were the team’s toprebounders.

Following an outstanding 14-2-2 start to theseason, the Blues levelled off and finishedleague play with a respectable 7-7-4 recordand were excited to kick-off the PCAHA play-offs with a fresh start.

Unfortunately, the hockey gods had otherplans.

Just prior to their single knock-out elimina-tion playoff game, goaltenders Jordan Allenand Jacob Head went down with concussionsand were sidelined for two to three weeks.

Subsequently, the Blues lost a heartbreakinggame to North Vancouver 6-5.

The defeat was a tough pill to swallow, es-pecially for the 12 graduating players but theycommitted to excellence and went on a tearto finish the season.

During the seven-game winning streak,Richmond Minor allowed just nine goals andAllen and Head each backstopped 1-0 shut-out victories to clinch the banner.

The team was captained by Mason Rai,Gabe Mu, James Houston and Paris Jeyarch-andran. The balance of third-year graduatingplayers included Matt Lam, Byron Leong, JinWoo Lee, Brady Wang, Jovan Jankovic, ColeMacKenzie, Allen and Head.

Returning players include James Sings,Matt Ast, Andrey Krasnoperov, Josh Freeland,Magnus Cheung, Jonah Cheung and EvanYang.
