Crop irrigation becoming a challenge for local agriculture

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Salt levels in the Fraser River are in-creasing and carrying the potential to devastate crops, farmers warn.

“It burns,” said Bill Zylmans, a long-time Richmond farmer. “In the case of vegetables, you can’t have that. You’ll destroy them immediately.”

A report presented to a city council committee Wednesday suggests farm-ers are sounding the alarm due to the Fraser River’s flow. A low snowpack means less fresh water to push back saltwater, which makes its way upriver with the help of extreme tides.

The report, from engineer Lloyd Bie, notes salt water can push its way 16 kilometres upriver.

That presents a problem for farmers who use river water to irrigate crops.

Zylmans said he no longer draws wa-ter directly from the river, but instead taps into ditches and underground water.

The problem is affecting Delta farm-ers equally.

“I know one guy he burnt off 30 acres of beans last year,” said Zylmans. “He checked the levels in the morning and he started irrigating. As the water

came in, the levels went up, and in the afternoon, his crop went down.”

Zylmans chalked the problem up to Mother Nature.

“Nature has really changed, and it’s a matter of us in agriculture working with that and making adjustments as necessary.”

Cranberry grower Peter Dhillon said he isn’t aware of any higher salt levels in the North Arm of Fraser River, where he draws water from for his fields. But, he said, higher salt content would be detrimental to his plants.

City staff warn that rising sea levels could make the situation worse. Bie said a predicted sea-level rise of 0.35 to 1.2 metres “will have significant impacts” on the lower Fraser’s salt content.

To aid farmers, the city has equipped one of its pump stations with a salinity meter, which shuts off flow from the Fraser when salt content is too high.

Farmers can also irrigate fields with drinking water, but they aren’t offered a discount on water—unlike Delta—making it an expensive alternative.

Sergei Traschenko created a life-size artwork of horseby Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Sergei Traschenko, the artist who sculpted a true-to-life bronze replica of the horse Minoru, has died following a heart attack. He was 46.

Traschenko unveiled the life-like art-work in Minoru Park last August, coincid-ing with the 100th anniversary of Minoru Park Racetrack’s opening.

The one-tonne piece was a labour of love for the Russian-born artist.

“I put a lot of effort into getting it to resemble the actual horse Minoru because he had some distinct features,” he told The Richmond Review last year.

The artist pored over research on the horse and other race horses to create Minoru. He watched thoroughbreds at local stables and drew upon his vast sculpting experience to draw out the horse’s personality. The result was a true-to-life two and-a-half-metre tall symbol of the hopes and dreams of

Richmond pioneers.Traschenko came to Canada in 1994

with no job prospects. He finally found work at a Richmond warehouse, but boredom set in after six months. And by chance, he found a classified ad looking for a sculptor, and he landed the job.

He used his skills to sculpt images from a variety of materials, including jade, from which he carved animal souvenirs. Hollywood North soon came calling, and Traschenko was designing sculptures for movie sets.

Also a master of fine art, Traschenko told The Review in 2007 that every sculp-ture should have something to say. “Like the old saying, if you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say anything at all.”

Before his death Traschenko was work-ing on “The Dancing Cranes,” a sculp-ture for a planned residential develop-ment on the old Fantasy Gardens site. Traschenko’s Richmond-based firm, DreamCast Design and Production, hopes to carry on with the project.

Traschenko died May 30 while on a holiday in the Bahamas. A service of remembrance will be held at the Richmond Cultural Centre Saturday, July 31, at 1 p.m., near Traschenko’s Minoru horse sculpture. The family requests no gifts, donations or cut flowers.

Online casino mixed up users’ accounts

by Tom FletcherBlack Press

B.C. Lottery Corporation’s new online casino remained shut down for a sixth day Wednesday, after player accounts were mixed up when the website went live with a sharply increased gambling limit of $9,999 a week.

The Crown corporation issued a statement Tuesday describing a “data crossover” that caused some players to log on and get another registered player’s account. The glitch affected 134 accounts, and BCLC said a dozen of them had personal information such as names and account balances viewed by someone else before the site was shut down for repairs.

The website PlayNow.com had 135,000 registered users who were using it to play lot-teries and games online up to last week. On July 16 it relaunched as North America’s first regulated online casino, open only to registered play-ers with Internet access within B.C. and the new playing limit.

BCLC said it is working with the province’s Information and Privacy Commissioner to protect player accounts and testing software solutions to the problem. It insisted the problem was triggered by a rush of interest in new online casino games, after existing customers were joined by 150 new registrants before the shutdown.

“BCLC’s assessment, verified by third party security experts, shows no evidence of external interference or ‘hacking’,” the statement said.

NDP critic Shane Simpson wrote to Housing and Social Development Minister Rich Coleman on Tuesday, demand-ing an explanation for reports that BCLC has been fined $670,000 by a federal regula-tor for failing to report cash transactions of $10,000 or more.

BCLC chief executive Michael Graydon told Global TV Tuesday the fines were the result of clerical errors in the filing of financial reports. He said the fines are being appealed with FINTRAC, the financial analy-sis centre set up by Ottawa to search for money laundering, terrorist financing and other illegal transactions.

Coleman approved the new PlayNow online casino this spring, to allow BCLC to com-pete with online casinos that have rapidly taken a large market share from gamblers in recent years.

He argued that it is better for a players to have a regu-lated site within B.C. rather than playing with no limit on offshore casino websites.

The faint whimpering of a dog’s cry was hard for Judith Fograscher and her daughter Maya to ignore last Thursday.

Judith Fograscher, who lives at Cantley Road and Camden Crescent, say when she came home from work Thursday she heard whimpering from a crying dog. It sounded to her like it was coming from a neigh-bour’s backyard or garage. After looking around, she determined it was nothing to stress over.

“Then an hour later, I heard it again but much louder,” Judith said. “I looked around and it sounded this time like it was coming from the ditch.”

She climbed down, peered deep into the ditch tunnel to see big yellow eyes staring at her. A dog appeared to be stuck in a deep hole underneath a manhole cover. Judith went to get her husband, daughter and flashlights so that they could rescue the dog.

A neighbour gathered a piece of rope, climbed down the drainage pipe and wrapped the rope around the dog’s body, lifting it to safety.

“The dog looked so exhausted,” Judith said. “It was covered in oily muck and hardly even moved.”

The dog had the name Cordellia on its collar, but no other identification.

“It was 10:30 p.m. by the time we rescued her and I knew that the pound or vet would be closed,” says Fograscher, so Cordellia got to stay the night with her rescuers.

The next morning after Cordellia was bathed, fed and tucked into a comfy bed in the Fograschers’ backyard, daughter Maya called the vet to find the owner.

It turned out that Cordellia had been missing since Thursday morning with the owners frantically post-ing missing signs. The dog, who has arthritis, walks with a limp and is quite helpless.

Owners repeatedly thanked the Fograscher’s say-ing “if it wasn’t for them, their dog Cordellia would have died.”

The B.C. government is proposing to do away with terms such as “cus-tody” and “access” to reduce the battles over children and property that often accompany marital breakup.

Attorney-General Mike De Jong says traditional legal terms that suggest “winners and losers” are not appropriate for family law, and getting rid of them is a key part of the first overhaul of B.C.’s Family Relations Act since it was written in the 1970s. A discus-sion paper released Monday suggests that child “custody” should be called “guardianship” and “access” should be called “parenting time.”

De Jong said the law needs to be modern-ized to reflect current trends such as frequent

divorce, common-law relationships and same-sex marriage. One of the proposed changes would extend property division rules to include people who have lived together for two years in a “marriage-like rela-tionship” or have chil-dren together.

Property owned before the relationship or inherited by one part-ner could be excluded under the proposed changes.

Tracy Porteous, executive director of the Ending Violence Association of British Columbia, said criminal court protection orders should be available to family courts when deciding issues such as child custody and access.

“In the last 15 years in this province, 153 people have died as a result of domestic violence, and

many of those deaths are women and children who have been involved in divorce,” Porteous said.

Groups and individuals have until Oct. 8 to com-ment on the proposed changes, posted on the government’s website at www.ag.gov.bc.ca/legis-lation.

De Jong said the intent is to draft amendments to the Family Relations Act to be considered by the legislature next year.

Other proposed chang-es include:

• promoting non-court dispute resolution, by creating a family arbi-tration process and requiring lawyers to certify that non-court options have been pro-vided before filing court documents

• providing new rem-edies for failure to allow parental contact and

for failure to exercise parenting time that is arranged

• develop a compre-hensive way to deter-mine a child’s legal parents, including situ-ations where reproduc-tive technology is used

• introduce rules for parents relocating, including a mandatory 60-day notice period.

B.C. to defuse divorce confl ict

During the summer, people often hire landscapers to care for their lawns and gardens.

The Better Business Bureau recom-mends consumers weed out shady contractors who are unqualified and have no track record.

The Better Business Bureau has received 47 lawn maintenance com-plaints since April 1. Consumers have reported having difficulty cancelling service contracts and that there are reports that after yearly contracts end, the contracts are automatically-renewed without the homeowner’s consent.

The Better Business Bureau offers the following tips when choosing a landscaper:

• Decide what landscaping you are looking for. Are you seeking a com-plete yard remodelling, a maintenance

contract or remedy of a problem?• Obtain at least three detailed writ-

ten estimates of the work you want. • Ask for references and follow up

on them. • Check out the company’s report

at mbc.bbb.org and also check to see if they are listed with the B.C. Landscape and Nursery Association at bclna.com.

• Always obtain any expressed or implied warranty on the company’s workmanship in writing.

• It is a good idea to be on site when the landscaping takes place. Oversee the job and keep in mind that if you become concerned that the job is not what you had contracted for, you have the right to tell them to stop what they are doing.

For more information, see http://mbc.bbb.org.

Young guest died in tragic accident


The Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites Riverport Richmond was awarded with a hospitality award by Richmond RCMP Supt. Rendall Nesset on Tuesday.

The hotel is being recognized for its sen-sitivity and compassion to the fellow students of Aragon High School student Daniel Cho, who fell to his death in an accident at the Capilano Suspension Bridge on June 6.

Following the accident, Richmond RCMP visited the Holiday Inn Express to assist victim ser-vices in supporting the 126 students from the San Mateo, California high school in dealing with the tragic event that had occurred. The students were staying at the hotel and were in Canada on a music exchange program.

“Our victim services folks recognized what a great job you did and we are very keen on the people in our commu-nity who go above and beyond to help others,” says Nesset said. “I am thrilled to be present-ing this award to you.”

The hotel was opened the breakfast room for students in off hours, provided extra rooms and conference rooms free of charge and opened up phone lines for free calls.

“Being in this hos-pitality business, we want to give people the best experience pos-sible,” hotel manager Robert Gillis said. “In a tragic event like this, it brings out the humanity and humility in our staff towards our guests.”

The hotel also received a letter of recognition and thanks from the U.S. Congress House of Representatives for how it handled the Aragon High School situation.

“I am thrilled that my team received this type of recognition,” says Gillis. “As a staff we strive for customer ser-vice and my team has demonstrated this bet-ter than I could have ever asked for.”

Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites Riverport Richmond is located on 10688 No. 6 Rd.

RCMP honours hotel for its compassion

Two boaters were rescued from the North Arm of the Fraser River on Saturday.

At around 10 p.m. on July 17, Richmond RCMP at Vancouver International Airport received a report of a boat in distress in the waters west of McDonald Beach.

A speed boat had collided with a log was sinking quickly. Officers attended McDonald Beach and located the boat after spotting a flare in the area of Iona Beach.

Richmond RCMP contacted the Coast Guard for assistance at which time both the Kitsilano and Sea Island Coast Guard attended. The boat was escorted safely to shore. Injuries were sustained and drugs and alcohol were not a factor.

“Safety equipment is the most impor-tant thing you need to have with you on your boat,” said Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley. “Please take the time to check you have everything you need and please remember to wear your life jacket.”

FOR SUMMER CAMPS

Looking to can your own food?The Richmond Food Security Society

is now offering a regular drop-in can-ning session every Tuesday night at Garratt Wellness Centre.

After a successful year in 2009 teach-ing local residents to can local produce, the Richmond Food Security Society is the weekly sessions from 5 to 7 p.m. each Tuesday. Residents will be able to drop by and preserve their own produce or help put aside fruits and vegetables harvested from the Sharing Farm in Terra Nova. The sessions are free and child care will be provided upon request

For some residents, pectin, canning jars and hot water baths are a new experience. These informal canning

sessions allow participants to learn the techniques hands-on.

An instructor will also be on-hand on certain dates to show participants how to can specific fruits and vegetables. Hot water bath canners and jars will be provided for those participants who wish to bring their own ingredients.

Garratt Wellness Centre is located at 7504 Chelsea Pl., near No. 2 and Blundell roads. The Richmond Food Security Society would like to thank Vancouver Coastal Health for helping to host these sessions.

For more information or to book childcare, please contact Arzeena Hamir at 604-727-9728 or e-mail [email protected].

Having Mother Nature help with the laundry

The sun is finally out on a more permanent basis

and we’re out in the backyard not just for play but also for a very important summer ritual.

About two years ago, I made a great purchase on Craigslist, picking up a laundry drying rack for $20. Soon, one wasn’t enough and we added a second so that we could air-dry two loads at the same time. I love the smell of sun-dried cloth-ing. I don’t care what the advertisers say, there’s no manufactured scent

that comes close. When the weather isn’t so good, from fall through spring, the clothes racks are parked over heating vents and air drying happens inside.

It has made a big differ-ence economically too! I only use my electric dryer to take off the damp if the clothes are still moist after a day. This one change alone has saved us over $120 per year on our Hydro bill. That’s nothing to laugh at.

In addition, I have very little lint (which is really pieces of your clothes), and I’m finding my clothes last longer. But the peace of mind it gives me know-ing that I’m not using energy wastefully is reward in itself. As long as the sun keeps shining and I have to keep heating my house, my clothes will dry for free.

So, it came as quite a shock to me to hear that not everyone has this “privilege.” Those of you who live in stratas may or may not be aware than there could be a “no clothesline” bylaw on

the books. The humble clothesline, it seems, is a sore point for some people. Perhaps some don’t like the aesthetics of clotheslines. Perhaps these bylaws were used to keep people of certain socio-economic groups out of the development. Whatever the reason, the time for clothesline bans has past.

I would hope that, in the 21st century, we could all see the benefit of line drying. Not only does it reduce your carbon footprint, but it certainly sends a message to your neighbours that you care about how energy is used. Like using a refillable water bottle and biking instead of driving, I say we need to line-dry with pride!

Clothesline bylaws were big news in Ontario in 2008 when the Ontario government passed legislation, overturn-ing clothesline bans in subdivisions. In Eastern Canada, where very few clothesline bans exist, over 70 per cent of resi-dents hang their clothes

out to dry. In B.C. it’s just 54 per cent. I find this shameful. We’re consum-ing energy when there is an easy, elegant and environmentally-friendly option.

But what is a strata resi-dent to do if such a bylaw exists on the books? If they break the bylaw, they can be fined. If they can’t or won’t pay the fines, they can be evicted. All over laundry!

Obviously speaking to your strata about making changes is the first step. We are no longer a com-munity that is ashamed of hanging up laundry. In fact, if I were moving to a strata, I would need to find one that didn’t have a clothesline ban. Far more attractive to young fami-lies, I believe.

Air drying your clothes is better for your clothes, the planet, and your wal-let. It should be a right, not a privilege.

Development works when community benefi ts

Some call it progress, others know it as a four-letter word.

Development is happening at a rapid pace in Richmond’s City Centre and planned major projects will keep the building sector busy for years despite rising costs developers face here.

Not everyone, however, sees density as a good thing. It can be ugly, obtrusive and busy, but it’s the projects that give back to the city that serve as examples of community benefit development can bring.

True, developers must meet city criteria for their developments to be approved. There are development cost charges, affordable housing requirements and other musts around public art and childcare.

But some planned projects will truly benefit the community—not just meet basic city criteria.

Take Quintet, the five-tower residential proj-ect on Minoru Boulevard that formerly housed Richmond’s Dueck dealership. As part of the project, the community will get a 33,000-square-foot community centre and a 22,000-square-foot university campus.

Along the North Arm, there’s River’s Edge, a project that will give the community two city parks, a waterfront trail and new community space at R.J. Tait Elementary.

In the Alexandra neighbourhood, The Remy includes dozens of units of affordable housing.

Across from Richmond Centre new towers will soon take shape, adding 130 rental units and 24 affordable seniors housing units to the local housing stock.

Good developers of major projects understand their designs must provide some sort of benefit to the community. The more that do—and the more city council pushes for it—the better our city will be.

lettersWrecking ball takes another home in Seafair

Editor:I was woken up early on Saturday morning by the

sound of yet another house coming down, and my heart sank.

My family and I moved to the Seafair neighbourhood almost five years ago, renting at first, and were finally able to purchase a “knock-down” during last year’s reces-sion which we didn’t knock down.

While we understand perfectly that people don’t like renovations, or wish to have a bigger home, we think it’s high time the City of Richmond starting regulating the current destruction happening in our, and other, neigh-bourhoods. The houses coming down are generally older homes built in the early- to mid-’60s. They have, for the most part, solid structures, great beams and often origi-nal hardwood floors. They are a part of Seafair’s history, and one of the reasons my husband and I wanted to live here when we moved back to Canada.

They are being replaced by monster homes, which take up most or all of the lot, are being built closer to the street, and often have no trees to speak of.

Putting aside the destruction and massive waste that this current trend causes, what about sustainability?

In Europe people are moving to smaller homes with smaller lots due to lack of space and high energy costs. Here, we are going in the opposite direction. These huge houses cost more to heat, more for electrical, more for everything. Who needs 4,000 square feet to live in?

We are incredibly lucky in B.C. not to have to pay the price you pay elsewhere in the world for our energy, but that doesn’t give us the right to throw it away through lack of foresight. The way things are going, in another five years, Seafair and other Richmond neighbourhoods will have lost their character, their history and be full of unaf-fordable homes that are half-empty.

It’s time for Richmond to start really building for the future, and stop the destruction of perfectly good houses.

Snow geese don’t deserve to be shotEditor:

I am writing in response to the let-ter from Wyatt Holyk regarding the shooting of snow geese (“Shoot a few birds and the rest will go away,” Letters, July 10).

I do not understand how some people think it is perfectly fine to hunt and kill geese or other birds. What about the birds that do not die right away? They may suffer for a long time before succumb-ing to their injuries.

I read about snow geese and discovered that they keep the same partner for life. The goose that dies may very likely be leav-ing a life-long mate behind.

How can anyone justify killing the beau-tiful snow geese just because there may be some excrement left behind? Step around what is on the ground and let the geese be. They do not deserve to die.

Why work out at the Owe-val Editor:

In a recent press release a senior management spokesperson stated that the Owe-val now has membership of around 1.150. That is great—slightly over half of one per cent of Richmond’s population.

The income from that number should just about cover the Hydro bill for the lighting. No way will it even get close to paying the salaries of the staff after their latest astro-nomical increases.

Why would anyone pay $58 per month for a membership when the same facilities are avail-able at Fitness World for a fraction of that price? Or, when you can get the same effect by going for a good brisk walk three or four times a week for free?

There are so many ways to define outra-

geous, but the one that jumps to mind first is the Janet Evanovich mystery series featuring Stephanie Plum, the bounty hunter.

The latest installment in the series is called Sizzling Sixteen and to say that it stretches the limits of believabil-ity would be a gross understatement.

Vinnie, the owner of Vincent Plum Bail Bonds is in deep doo-doo for the enormous gambling debts he’s racked up, and mob-ster Bobby Sunflower is holding him hostage for a ton of money until he pays it off. Stephanie’s mission, should she choose to accept it, and she does, is to rescue Vin-nie. Naturally she has

help in the form of Lula (the ex ‘ho), and office manager Connie. Lest they be left to their own haphazard de-vices, security expert Ranger and cop Morelli are always in the shad-ows to come to their rescue. Morelli aptly describes Stepha-nie as “a magnet for disaster” and there’s no exaggeration there. Her personal motto should be “If it can go wrong, it will go wrong.” Because it always does go wrong. And well, there’s noth-ing like predictability.

In keeping with the plots of all the other Stephanie Plum novels, there’s an overabundance of hijinx, but they’re get-ting a bit old by now. While the plots might change, the ridiculous-ness of the scenarios stays the same. In Sizzling Sixteen there’s an alligator watchdog, hobbits, a herd of cows on the loose in Trenton, New Jersey, and a raft of other stuff that just makes you shake your head and think “What next?”

The ongoing emo-tional tug-of-war between Stephanie and her two love interests—Joe Morelli

and Ranger—contin-ues, and I just feel like giving her a whack upside the head and saying make up your mind already! At least Evanovich lets her character Stephanie acknowledge the fact of her weird life when she says: “I had a cop boyfriend who hated my job and tried to get me to quit. And I had a security expert po-tential lover who didn’t tell me to quit my job, but had me under con-stant surveillance. I wasn’t sure which was worse.”

I’ve always loved the Stephanie Plum novels for their zany charac-ters and crazy humour, but it’s getting kind of stale now. Think day-old pastry. Maybe it’s a case of “familiarity breeds contempt” but whatever it is, I’ve lost my tolerance for this brand of funny.

Unless of course her next book is called Seventeen, Cease and Desist! That would be my recommendation, and I’d be all over that. Sorry Ms. Evanovich, but I’m quickly losing interest and I think you may have reached your ‘best before’ date. Having said that, you diehard Stephanie

Plum addicts might just love this one—why not find out for yourself.

Mae Moore in concert

•In concert with Megan Metcalfe and Kenny Hess on Friday, July 23 at 6:15 p.m. at Britannia Heritage Shipyard (5180 Westwater Dr., at the foot of Railway Avenue.).

•Tickets, $25, available at Britannia or by call-ing 604-276-4300.

•Part of Cherelle Jardine’s Musical Expressions. Summer Concert Series; show is rain or shine.

•Upcoming shows include: Ron Irving, Ray Roper, Gaye Delorme on Aug. 6; Bob Kemmis, Bruce Coughlan and Cherelle Jardine on Aug. 20.

Singer ‘appalled’ that her biggest songwriting hit was used in Tom Cruise flick


Mae Moore remembers chanting “I

want to live,” after a high-speed collision vaulted her into an out-of-body experi-ence. She wasn’t ready to die—she still had to fi nd her daughter.

A few months later, the singer-songwriter met the daughter she gave up for adoption at age 19—a moment she looked forward to so much, she believes it saved her life.

“If you haven’t expe-rienced reconnecting with someone you have lost, who is a part of your own DNA, it may be hard to understand, but it is akin to having your legs sewn back on after years of dragging yourself through the desert, knowing that a different way of life is possible,” says Moore, 54, in the midst of a B.C. concert tour.

The experience pushed her to get back to doing what she does best: making music. On Friday, Moore will join Megan Metcalfe and Kenny Hess on stage

at Britannia Heritage Shipyard for an inti-mate riverside concert in Richmond.

The 54-year-old Gulf Islands resident has always been an artist. While in art school in Ottawa, she realized making a living from visual art might prove difficult.

At the same time, she was writing songs and performing at coffee houses. In 1985 came her big break—and paycheque—by co-writ-ing the Loverboy song “Heaven in Your Eyes,” which ended up on a Hollywood soundtrack.

From Page 12“Co-writing ‘Heaven in Your Eyes’

was an opportunity to get my toes wet in the music business, and the royalties paid some bills, but I have never felt connected to that song. Actually, I was quite appalled when they used it in the pro-war movie, Top Gun,” she says.

She wasn’t the only one who was appalled. Loverboy’s key-boardist Doug Johnson refused to appear in the music video for the song for the same reason.

Nevertheless a major record label came calling, and Moore had a music career, one that’s lasted decades. The songwriter’s first album, Oceanview Motel, surfaced in 1990. She earned legions of

new fans with the dark spoken-word title track of her second album, Bohemia in 1992. Her third effort, 1995’s Dragonfly, earned her a SOCAN Award for most played radio track (“Genuine”).

After Moore’s successful search for her daughter, she recorded a self-titled album, produced by Jann Arden, followed by a ret-rospective and two more CDs, including Oh My!, recorded with husband Lester Quitzau with a stripped down acoustic sound.

In November she’ll release a new solo album, Folklore, which will have a companion art book with a digital download card of the entire album.

“I have re-ignited my love for Canada and her diversity, land-

scape and history. The recording came about when my husband, Lester Quitzau, gifted me a few days in the studio with Joby Baker (a Victoria producer who’s worked with Alex Cuba, the Bills and the Cowboy Junkies).”

Who is Oliver Handelschimdst?

Students in the Gateway Academy for the Performing Arts are preparing to present Oliver Handelschmidst’s Weird and Wonderful Circus July 28-30.

Orphaned children decide to join Oliver Handelschmidst’s famous cir-cus. Despite the excitement of cir-cus life, each child secretly dreams of belonging to a real family. Their prayers are answered when a bil-lionaire announces that he wishes to adopt one of the young perform-ers. But when one of the children disappears, the orphans start to wonder: where has she gone and who is Oliver Handelschimdst?

RIchmond Revealed

But facing higher costs in the fall, development activity could begin to wane


Arthur Erickson must have looked across Richmond and thought something was miss-

ing. The late Vancouver architect would have surveyed a sparsely-populated city with no skyline to speak of but half-finished bridges and lines of hydro poles.

His vision was to stack 17 storeys of concrete in Minoru Park and design the three tallest buildings in the city. Now known as Regency Park Towers, they’re still the tallest of the city’s 91 buildings that rise above 12 storeys—for now.

Richmond is hoping to start talks with trans-port officials to pierce the 45-metre height limit

for a site at the end of the Canada Line on No. 3 Road.

“We figure that’s an excellent site for higher density and higher heights, and we don’t feel it has any impact on airport operations,” said Brian Jackson, director of development for the City of Richmond.

It’s among dozens of major construction projects proposed in the fast-growing city. From a half-billion-dollar project in the north, to a $2-billion project to the west, the rush to build in City Centre has much to do with the Canada Line.

Interest from developers is intense around stations, and a sprawling property along Capstan Way is expected to be developed in the future—complete with a station.

Jackson said Richmond was prepared for developers’ interest following approval of the rapid transit line by redrafting its downtown area plan—unlike Vancouver, which is now playing catchup, he said.

“Our city council was quite visionary in doing this ahead of Canada Line. Now it’s just a ques-tion of letting the market play out as to when these projects come on stream.”

The latest Statistics Canada numbers sug-gest B.C.’s construction sector has rebounded the most in the country. In Metro Vancouver, the value of building permits jumped 77.8 per cent in May 2010 compared to May 2009. In Richmond, the jump was 118 per cent—to $26.4 million.

But developers are aware of the growing

number of condo projects coming on stream here.

“There’s only a certain absorption that can happen, even in a robust economy,” said Jackson. “They’re all watching each other as to the staging of their developments, so there’s not a glut on the market.”

Richmond may be reaching a high-water mark for development in this time of economic rebuilding. Developers caution that come mid-September, development cost charges for resi-dential construction in Richmond will jump 16.5 per cent—an amount they’ll have to swallow, pass on to homeowners or avoid altogether by building elsewhere.

This at a time when developers face other requirements such as affordable housing, and builders and buyers adjust to the harmonized sales tax.

“It is one of a series of things that affect the cost of doing business in this jurisdiction,” said Dana Westermark, a Richmond developer. “When you put the total package together, it does speak to how difficult it is to make a proj-ect work in Richmond.”

Jackson said the cost charge hike is necessary to pay for the growth of Richmond’s downtown.

And while it may take steam out of smaller projects, major ones, like the 20-plus-tower River Green and the 1,000-plus-unit River’s Edge, will soldier on and take years to com-plete.

Both projects mark a significant departure from traditional development in the city: they

face the water.“Richmond’s waterfront is converting from

an area that was neglected,” said Westermark. “The city had basically turned its back on the river. Now we’re turning around and looking at the river again.”

Westermark, a partner on the River’s Edge project, said the longtime industrial site will transform into a sought-after neighbourhood, similar to his London Landing project.

“This is hopefully going to accomplish for the north edge of Richmond what False Creek and Coal Harbour has accomplished for Vancouver,” he said.

Besides residential projects, interest in devel-oping hotel properties remains high. The Wall Centre just completed its Westin hotel, and a Bridgeport property known as Dynasty Hotel could soon begin construction. City staff antici-pate other hotel applications in the next few months.

There’s also a pair of big box stores expected here. IKEA has preliminary approval to go ahead with developing a new warehouse store near the Knight Street Bridge, and a proposal to build a Walmart could come by the end of the year. Staff are negotiating with Walmart on built form and character.

“Council was very clear when they developed the West Cambie plan that they did not want another big box sitting in the middle of a sea of parking,” said Jackson. “We’ve been pushing them as much as we can to a real urban form.”

Building continues to boom

1. River Green, 5111 Hollybridge Way, is the largest residential development project in the city. Aspac Developments designed the riverfront community, which will include 25 to 30 towers with approximately 2,000 spacious homes, along with retail and com-mercial space. The first phase includes 458 units in six towers west of the Richmond Olympic Oval. It could take up to 15 years to complete the development.

3. Quintet, 5900 Minoru Blvd. is an estimated $1-billion, five-tower residential project designed by Wing T. Leung and spearheaded by a Malaysian developer. It will feature a 33,000-square-foot community centre and a 22,000-square-foot Trinity Western University campus. The city’s development permit panel will consider the project July 28. Marketing for Phase 1 could begin in the fall.

4. The Remy 9388 Cambie Rd., from Oris Development is a 259-unit residential develop-ment with Phase 1 now under construction. The Patrick Cotter-designed project is the first in B.C. to utilize a six-storey wood-frame structure. Included in the project are 33 non-market affordable housing and 48 market rental units operated by SUCCESS. Across from The Remy, Oris is also building Alexandra Gate, another 194 residential units.

2. Aberdeen Centre, 4000 No. 3 Rd., is set to expand with a six-storey, 237,400-square-foot addition that will be built on a vacant site between the Canada Line and the Asian-themed mall.

Richmond Revealed is thrice-a-year special feature focussing on an aspect of Richmond. In our inaugural feature, we look at major developments upcoming in the community.


10. The Emerald, 6888 Cooney Rd. A project from Iredale Group Architecture, The Emerald is a two-tower development whose 227 units recently went on sale. The project will include a 21,000-square-foot courtyard.

5. Fantasy Gardens, Townline Homes is redeveloping Fantasy Gardens. The Gardens development will be a mixed use neighbourhood integrated with a five-hectare park and agricultural gardens. Expected are six multi-storey buildings with 450 residential units.

6. River’s Edge, 1880 No. 4 Rd., from Dava Developments and Oris Development is a residential development of apartments and townhouses, including six-storey wood-frame buildings. The application calls for 873 apartments, 82 townhouses, six live-work units, 65 affordable housing units and 44,230 square feet of commer-cial space. Also: 65-space child care centre, two city parks, waterfront trail and new community space at R.J. Tait Elementary.

7. 6280 No. 3 Rd. This property is at the end of the Canada Line, owned by TransLink, and is currently to a Scotiabank. TransLink is expected to issue a proposal call to developers to build two towers, which could potentially become the tallest in Richmond.

8. 6391 Minoru Blvd. This lot, across from Richmond Centre, once housed a residential development that burned to the ground several years ago. According to architect Wing T. Leung the project is now moving ahead, with plans for 450 units of residential, 130 rental units and 24 units of affordable seniors housing.

9. Onni’s Elmbridge towers, 6951 Elmbridge Way, will be built across from the oval in a largely vacant industrial business park. The project includes 325 units—238 market resi-dential, 18 affordable rental housing and 69 live/work—along with 115,500 square feet of ground-floor retail and commercial space.

11. 8451 Bridgeport Road. Incorporated 13 years ago, the new owners of the company Dynasty Hotels Inc. are seeking a development permit to move ahead with a 191-unit 10-storey hotel. Former cabinet minister Herb Dhaliwal is among the company’s directors.

12. 3099 Corvette Way. The Westin Wall Centre Vancouver Airport Hotel has 180 rooms spread over 15 floors. It opened in January. It’s linked with two residential towers, which are nearly complete.

13. IKEA, 3820 Jacombs Rd., a new big box IKEA store is set for construction in the East Cambie neighbourhood. The store will be 348,643 square feet and replace the existing store on Sweden Way. The proposed building is a large, elevated structure, similar to a IKEA’s Coquitlam store.

14. Walmart, 9360 Alexandra Rd. Talk of Walmart coming to Richmond has lasted years, but the multinational company now appears serious. Plans call for a shopping centre in the south-west corner of the Alexandra neighbourhood in West Cambie, and an application could be in front of the city by year’s end.

Chemistry x-factor for X-FalconsUS eh! wins inaugural women’s crown at Dolphin Park Basketball Classic

by Don FennellSports Editor

The X-Falcons won their third Dolphin Park Bas-ketball Classic title in the last four years Sunday with a 64-53 win over the Athletite.

And their success can be summed up in a word: chemistry.

That, says perennial tournament all-star Navi Sek-hon, is the x-factor in his team’s continuing success at the annual 4-on-4 tournament which celebrated its 25th anniversary last weekend on the outdoor courts at the Thompson Community Centre.

“When I put a team together every year I think of guys that will jell,” said Sekhon. “We’ve been play-ing together quite a while now so we know what each guy is going to do and where the passes are going.”

Sekhon relates particularly well to Randy Nohr, who won his third tour-nament MVP hon-our on Sunday.

“You can’t say enough about him,” says Sekhon, who describes the former Ca-nadian national team player as being like “a tough farm boy.”

“He (also) sees the fl oor like no other. I know when he gets the ball where he wants me to run to. It’s natural and it works.”

Winning never gets tiring, Sekhon said.“This is the place to play in the summer, all the

guys know that,” he said. “Nobody ever gets bored of winning. If you do then you shouldn’t be playing anymore.”

Having just wrapped up his playing career at the University of B.C., Richmond’s Kyle Watson was thrilled to have the chance to play a prominent role in the X-Falcons’ win.

“This is awesome,” he said. “It’s a tough tourna-ment to win.”

With the X-Falcons’ win, Watson became the second member of his family to net a title Sunday. Earlier in the day, his older sister Breanne helped lift the U.S. eh! to the inaugural women’s division title with a 69-45 win over the ’80s Babies. Breanne led all players with 15 points.

“I was very happy that the women got to play and I think we impressed a lot of people,” Breanne said. “I hope next year we can expand.”

Lindsey Wilson, a 2003 WNBA draft pick of the Seattle Storm, also played a prominent role in the U.S. eh! victory with 14 points.

“This was great,” she said. “It’s nice to get to-gether with others who love to play basketball. And it was nice to have it count for something.”

Wilson, who grew up playing outdoor basket-ball—often against guys, said the calibre of play was quite good for the fi rst year.

No Dolphin Park Basketball Classic would be complete without an appearance by Josh Masters in the slam dunk contest. And the former Matthew McNair Secondary star didn’t disappoint. His jump over two boys laying on a table earned him a per-fect score and his 12th slam dunk title.

But the king of the slam dunk said he plans to retire on top.

“That was my last,” he said.

“I was very happy that women got to play and I think we impressed a lot of people.”

- Breanne Watson

Coaching India’s men’s open division team at the Nations Cup is no easy task. No job has more pressure, as both interest and ex-pectations are routinely high.

But Bindy Braich seems to be able to take it all in stride. Of course it helps when the team succeeds, as it did Sunday by earning the touranment title with a 1-0 victory over Ireland thanks to a late goal, on a Jason Gill header, in fi nal 10 minutes of regulation time.

Braich was on Cloud 9 when the fi nal whistle sounded.

“To me, this was like our World Cup,” he said. “I was speechless.

Winning the title is rewarding be-cause this was my fourth, and it puts our team up there with Scot-land and England for the most wins.”

The fi nal match was evenly played by two equally skilled teams.

“It was a team ef-fort,” said Braich, led by captain Paul Bahia and goalkeeper Didar Sandhu.

“The difference for our squad this year was the youth, and the speed and energy they all had,” he said. “They were committed 100 per cent in showing everybody that they had skill and talent.”

Jeff Wilson, chair of the Nations Cup tournament committee, said

he was “shocked” by the pace of play, which seems to rise every year.

“And the level of skill, espe-cially given it was the third game of the day for both teams, it’s unbelievable

to me how good the quality was,” he said.

In the semis, India needed pen-alty kicks to get by Portugal 1-0 while Ireland defeated defending champion England 4-1.

Canada blanked England 2-0 to hoist the women’s trophy; Scot-land’ won the over-30 men’s title 1-0 over Germany and the over-45’s 2-0 over England 2-0, and


India tops Nations Cup

London and McNair parks will host the pro-vincial junior and senior softball championships this weekend.

The tournaments will feature players of uni-versity age and older.

The Senior A tourna-ment, directed by Jeff Smulders, will feature 11 teams from around the Lower Mainland, includ-ing the host Richmond Islanders.

“We’ve got some pret-ty solid pitching,” says Smulders. “The girls fi nished with silver last year, so if we can hit we will do okay.”

The opening game is at 11 a.m. Friday. Later that day, the Islanders play at London Park against Sur-rey Storm ’90 at 1 p.m.

The Junior A and B tournament, directed by Gary Rosval features four teams in A, includ-ing a younger team from Richmond. The Junior A Islanders are scheduled to play at McNair Park at 5 p.m. against Force ‘91. The B division will host 11 teams.

Both tournaments in-clude two pool-round games followed by a double knockout phase.

Canada tops Chileafter cool startby Don FennellSports Editor

Canada’s national women’s basketball team rarely gets a chance to play an inter-national game in front of a home crowd. They got to do so twice in three days over the weekend,

and though the nerves showed in both the team wound up with two con-vincing wins.

Like Saturday in Ab-botsford, Canada started slowly in the fi nal game of a two-game exhibi-tion set against Chile Monday at the cavern-ous Richmond Olympic

Oval, home to long track speed skating during the 2010 Winter Games. But much to the delight of the nearly 1,000 fans who took in Canada’s 74-38 victory, once the players settled down they dominated.

“The players appreci-ated the fans coming out and wanted to play well and put on a good show,” said Canada’s head coach Allison Mc-Neill, explaining the ear-ly case of the jitter bug.

While the scores were lopsided, McNeill said Chile—a small, quick team—gave Canada a chance to play against a different style of op-ponent. She expects up-coming games against Sweden, whose players are as big if not bigger than the Canadians at every position, to be even more diffi cult and just as valuable as the Canadians prepare for the world champion-ships Sept. 23 to Oct. 3

From Page A22

Canada was third at the FIBA Americas cham-pionship in Brazil last summer.

Mission’s Teresa Ga-briele, a 13-year veteran of the national team, played much of the game in Abbotsford and was the high scorer with 17 points and eight re-bounds.

But she is coming off a foot injury and rested for all but 18 minutes in Richmond, giving Mc-Neill the opportunity to further evaluate players. Canada still has to pare down to 12 players by the worlds.

Monday’s star at the oval was Sur-rey’s Kim Smith who poured in 20 points in 23 minutes. She was 8-for-14 from the fi eld and pulled down eight boards—four on defence and four on of-fence.

McNeill is happy with her team’s defensive

play, which she said along with toughness will defi ne Canada’s success at the world championships. But

she added Canada still has to improve its play on the other side of the fl oor.

“We know we can play better and we have to execute better on of-fence,” she said. “But it’s still two months until the worlds.”

With only one player (Krista Phillips, 6-5) over six foot one, Canada may not match up favourably

size-wise against several teams at the worlds. But McNeill is confi dent they will be able to make up for the shortfall by scor-ing off the perimeter, perhaps even by cutting in off the wings.

Canada plays Sweden July 27 in Abbotsford and July 29 at the Rich-mond Olympic Oval. Tip-off is 7 p.m.

May 6-1929 - July 15, 2010 Surrounded by his family and close friends it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of beloved husband and father after a year long battle with cancer. Ken was born in Koslow, Poland and came to Canada at the age of one year with his parents and siblings. Ken grew up in Rembrandt, Manitoba and joined the Canadian Army in 1950. He served in the Korean War for one and a half years and was a proud war veteran who loved to share his war stories with everyone.

He is survived by his loving wife of 45 years Helen, daughter Shelley, sister Mary of Detroit, as well as many relatives and close friends. He was predeceased by his parents Gregory and Annie, brothers Mike, Martin, Peter and sister Stella.

Ken and Helen married and then moved to Vancouver in 1965. He worked as an auto body mechanic for several years until being injured on the job. He will be sadly missed and remembered forever as a kind, caring and unselfi sh individual.

He loved to volunteer his spare time working at church and his greatest achievement was that of the installation of the Iconostas.

Ken was a talented gardener who took great pride in maintaining the yard and fl owers, loved fi shing at the river, traveling the world, and walking his Siberian Huskies, Keesha, Kaiser and Katanna. Ken was a very hospitable person and enjoyed having friends come to the house for visits and dinners.

For many years Ken faithfully

drove his daughter Shelley twice a day to swim practice in downtown Vancouver and never complained.

Ken spent his fi nal month at the Salvation Army Rotary Hospice House overlooking beautiful gardens and fl owers and received excellent care.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Eric Watts, the doctors and technicians at the BC Cancer Agency, Palliative Care team at Richmond Hospital, and especially the wonderful nurses and staff at the hospice for everything they did to keep Ken comfortable. As well, a special thanks to all our family, friends and neighbors who have been so supportive during this past diffi cult year.

A prayer service will be held on Sunday July 25 at 7:00 pm and a funeral service will take place Monday July 26 at 10:00am. Both services will be held at Holy Dormition Mother of God Ukranian Catholic Church, 8700 Railway, Richmond, BC.

A reception will follow the funeral at the Richmond Funeral Home, 8420 Cambie Rd, Richmond, BC. A private family burial will be held at Valleyview Memorial Gardens, Tuesday, July 27 at 12:00 pm.

In lieu of fl owers donations may be made in Ken’s name to the Richmond Hospital Palliative Care Unit or the Salvation Army Rotary Hospice House in Richmond. We love you papa and may you have eternal peace.

THE ONLY THING BIGGER THAN THE VALUE...

. . . IS THE VIEW

sports

A 14-8 fi nal-game win over defending champion Prince George Timber-wolves gave Rich-mond Mariners the provincial Squirt B boys’ fastball title Sunday in Whalley.

M’s head coach Bill Merrell said his team played some of its “best fastball ever,” as the offence rallied around the big bats of Darby Kwan and Justin Williamson who each had mul-tiple hits and RBIs in the game.

Richmond explod-ed for six runs in the fi rst inning and never looked back. The tight Mariner defence relied on the stellar pitching of left-handed starter Alex McRae whose wicked riser kept the Timberwolves’ big bats in check. Closer Trevor Merrell routinely fanned the opposition.

Richmond also got stellar play from its catchers Jake Rob-

inson and Christian Sutter, while right fi elder Frazer Black and shortstop Mitch Nelson both made memorable fi eld-ing plays to pre-vent the opposition from scoring. Prince

George was frustrat-ed in the bottom of the fi nal inning by a heart-stopping dou-ble play. Outfi elder Jackson Heseltine initiated an out at home followed by an-other at second base

by Derrick Hong, all but ending the Tim-berwolves’ chances for a comeback. The fi nal out was a smashing grounder handled routinely by shortstop Merrick Roberts at fi rst.

M’s golden at BC’s

Richmond Mariners celebrate their gold-medal victory in the pro-vincial Squirt B boys’ fastball championships Sunday in Whalley.
