Cause of devastating condo blaze may not be known for some time

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

As fi refi ghters were dousing the last remaining hotspots Thursday at the construction site of The Remy on Cam-bie Road, there were more questions than answers about Tuesday night’s spectacular blaze visible from as far as downtown Vancouver.

Charan Sethi, a local developer, found out about the fi re Tuesday eve-ning from his daughter and feared that a personal horror story was in the midst of repeating itself.

It was on the afternoon of Oct. 1, 2008 that Sethi’s four-storey residen-tial project in Surrey burned to the ground and to this day, he still doesn’t have all the answers.

Despite the best efforts of police, fi re and insurance investigators, and even the assistance of polygraph lie detec-tor tests, the cause of that fi re remains a mystery. And so there’s been no clo-sure for him.

“I’ll never forget that date,” Sethi told The Richmond Review Friday morning.

While Sethi breathed a bit of a sigh of relief that it wasn’t one of his Rich-mond projects that was burning be-fore his eyes, he empathized with the developers at The Remy and Oris De-velopments—Dana Westermark and

Barry Cavanaugh—who were about to go through the same nightmare he experienced.

“It’s shocking for all of us,” he said.The Remy was a six-storey structure—

the fi rst woodframe building of its size in the province—and was completely engulfed in fl ames by the time fi re crews were called at 10:50 p.m.

The $60-million 188-unit condo tower was to include a wide array of affordable housing options. Wester-mark vows to rebuild it as quickly as possible.

Sethi said he’s now looking at steps he can take to reduce the risk of a fi re during the most vulnerable part of the construction process.

Among the considerations is getting the sprinkler system activated earlier on, to help stem a fi re should one start. A fi re doubles in size every min-ute, Sethi said, and it wouldn’t take long for it to get beyond the control-lable stage in a building like The Remy that was little more than exposed, tinder-dry wood studs. There are also other ideas being tossed around, but he declined to make them public for security reasons.

Matthew Hoekstra photoSteveston’s oldest standing structure, the Gulf of Georgia Cannery, will host a book launch for Bill McNulty’s latest historical compilation.

Author Bill McNulty says sale proceeds will go to Onagawa

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Combing archives, museums, libraries and minds of historians, Bill McNulty has authored a new book on the history of one of B.C.’s oldest communities.

Steveston: A Community History details the fi shing village from 1859 to present and includes over 100 photographs.

McNulty, a longtime Richmond city councillor, wrote the book after he was asked to update the Steveston

Community Society’s history.“I started to look at it and there

seemed to be conflicting com-ments about Steveston and con-fl icting facts, so I decided to launch my own primary sources historical search of Steveston,” he said.

The result is a 132-page chrono-logical history of Steveston and the society, along with facts and an-ecdotes most people in Richmond have never heard before, he said.

This is McNulty’s sixth book, and others are on the way, including one about Richmond’s sister cities and another about local sports heroes.

“History has always been my passion. I’ve been a collector of everything from Olympic memo-rabilia to local Pacifi c Northwest memorabilia,” he said.

Despite the fi rst published copies arriving just yesterday, McNulty has already heard more stories that could form an update. For example, he’s since learned about Charles Point, a fi sherman who landed in Steveston in 1892—the great-grandfather of Lt.-Gov Steven Point, whom he met recently to discuss the Point family history.

A big part of Steveston’s unique history is owed to Japanese Cana-dians, so proceeds from book sales will go to the tsunami-ravaged vil-lage of Onagawa, Japan.

The Gulf of Georgia Cannery (12138 Fourth Ave.) will host a book launch Thursday, May 12, at 10:30 a.m. All are welcome to the event, where cop-ies of the book will be available for a suggested donation of $20.

Family of Richmond’s Ned Mander, to commission metal sculpture of volleyball player


The family of Richmond’s Ned Mander, an innocent victim of the Indo-Canadian gang violence that marred the Lower Mainland a decade ago, will be erecting a fi tting tribute to him in the highest-profi le of surroundings.

A Richmond High grad, the 28-year-old was kidnapped and murdered in October of 2001 after leaving his North Surrey bathroom products store.

After years of painful specula-tion by the media and public that Mander was somehow linked to gangs or the drug trade, police in 2009 fi nally cleared his name, bringing to an end a lot of the pain his family was suffering from the unsubstantiated rumours.

Police said he was simply used as a pawn.

“He was an innocent victim caught in the crossfi re of a bitter rivalry,” RCMP Sgt. Tim Shields said nearly two years ago.

The Mander family, who have lived in Richmond since 1974, recently ap-proached the city, wishing to com-mission the construction of a metal sculpture of a volleyball player in Mander’s name. Mander was a na-tionally ranked volleyball player and wore No. 13.

“Ned was an amazing person,” broth-er Dave Mander wrote this week in an e-mail to The Richmond Review. “He lit up any room he walked into not just with his stature but his laughter.

“I always wanted to create a legacy for my brother, but I couldn’t do it back then because the false accusation of Ned being into drugs constantly hung over the situation. Ned was such a proud Richmond resident and we wanted to give something back to the community he loved so much, but we knew the public might not accept it. Then when the RCMP fi nally cleared

his name and declared him innocent in October 2009, eight years after Ned disappeared, I knew we could fi nally move forward with a legacy.”

The plan calls for the sculpture to be placed inside the Richmond Olympic Oval.

The sculpture is to be crafted by artist Cory Fuhr, whose Speed Skater sculpture at the oval is arguably the facility’s most popular work of art.

Fuhr said Thursday that he’ll spend the next few months on the sculp-ture, pounding out each piece in cold steel.

“It’s like building a car,” Fuhr said, adding that the fi nal work should tip the scales at more than 400 pounds.

Fuhr said he’s never worked on a piece quite like this, where there’s such a strong emotional attachment and tragic story linked to the artwork.

He plans to incorporate Ned Mander’s “good facial struc-ture,” and said No. 13 will be incorporated into many locations throughout it.

Working from photographs supplied by the Mander family, Fuhr said the sculpture will show a vol-leyball player at the jumping point of a serve.

A three-person panel reviewed the proposal and “enthusiastically sup-ported (it) on all criteria,” wrote the city’s public art planner Eric Fiss in a report to council.

The panel recommended its location inside the oval and urged the artist to consider “scaling up the work to im-prove interest and relationship to the size of the oval and its space.”

Dave Mander said the family plans to unveil the artwork this October, on the 10th anniversary of Ned’s death.

Dave Mander said he and his family are thankful for the support of Rich-mond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, who helped brainstorm the theme.

“Life is still hard for all of us. Ned’s body was never found so there are still so many questions. Without a body, I don’t know that there will ever be true closure. But this art certainly helps the healing.”

In addition to commissioning the art-work, the Mander family will be provid-ing funding for ongoing maintenance, as well as the installation.

Townsend said investigators were carefully picking through the remains of The Remy—a $60 million, six-sto-rey woodframe residential project that was to include affordable hous-ing and a badly-needed daycare—in hopes of not destroying any clues while eliminating any fl are-ups.

Townsend said he doesn’t expect any potential causes for the fi re to be known until next week. And even then, fi refi ghters won’t be making that information public until after they’ve eliminated other possibili-ties, he said.

According to Sethi, investigators will be looking at whether plumb-ing or roofi ng activity that involves torches, took place on the day of the fi re.

Asked what type of construction de-lay the fi re might cause at The Remy,

Sethi said he didn’t know, but that in his case it was 14 or 15 months. He added, however, that his project in Surrey was smaller.

Townsend said it would be prema-ture to conclude that the height of The Remy had anything to do with the fi re. It was scheduled to be the fi rst six-storey woodframe structure of its kind in the province after Victo-ria changed the rules that had once limited woodframe buildings to four storeys.

He noted that the building was still in the midst of the construc-tion phase, and at a very vulner-able point. Had the planned safety measures been in place, such as drywall and a charged sprinkler sys-tem that extended to the balconies, that would have slowed the progress of the fi re and perhaps limited the damage to one or perhaps two ad-jacent units.

A Fleury of activity today

Theo Fleury is in town for Hockey Day in Richmond to-day at H.J. Cambie Second-ary School.

Hockey Day in Richmond, a Youth Week event, is attract-ing hockey enthusiasts from across the Lower Mainland, including players from the Vancouver Giants, Delta Ice Hawks and Richmond Sock-eyes.

Former Calgary Flames great Theo Fleury, Hockey Day in Richmond’s keynote speaker, is also expected to pick up a stick for some tournament play before he talks about his own personal struggles with addiction to substances and gambling.

Organized by Richmond Addiction Services, Hockey Day in Richmond begins at 12 noon, and runs to 5 p.m.

Fleury’s speech begins at 3:45 p.m.

Cancer claims community volunteer“Few volunteer members have given as much to the Thompson Community

Association as Kim did in so short a time.”High praise from Julie Halfnights about Kim Jones, who died Sunday after

a lengthy battle with cancer. He was 66. Jones was elected to Thompson’s board of directors in 2006, and became president in 2008.

“Kim also made signifi cant contributions to projects that affect all Richmond community association. His volunteerism extended well beyond Thompson and the community associations, and the same energy and drive that he brought to us was evident in the duties he undertook at the (Richmond Olympic Oval) and the O Zone,” said Halfnights, a fellow board member.

A celebration of Jones’ life will be held on Monday, May 9 at 2:30 p.m. at Arbor Chapel, Valley View Memorial Gardens, 14644 72nd Ave. in Surrey. In lieu of fl owers, the Jones family is encouraging contributions to the B.C. Cancer Foundation in his memory.

A Chinese seafood restaurant on No. 3 Road was shut down Tues-day after the discovery of a rodent infestation.

During a routine inspection of Shun Feng Seafood Restaurant, 1425-4380 No. 3 Rd., by the Rich-mond health department on May 3, an inspector found rodent drop-pings throughout the restaurant, including on clean plates, in the fl our, in the carrot box, on the rice sheet, on the trays where season-

ings are placed, around the meat slicer, and on food preparation counters.

As well, droppings were found in the VIP room, next to the ice mak-ing machine, on the dry storage shelving in the dry storage room.

“Flies are found swamping in the dry food storage room...Standing water is found in the dry food stor-age room, which can be a probable cause of fl y harborage.”

A strong cigarette smell was no-ticed in the staff washroom and all food handlers were ordered not to smoke indoors at any time.

All plates, equipment and uten-sils were ordered to be cleaned and sanitized with diluted bleach, all openings to be sealed and standing water and its source eliminated.

A pest control company must also be hired to remove the active ro-dent infestation.

As of Friday morning, the clo-sure order had not yet been re-scinded.

Restaurant closures are posted at http://www.vch.ca/your_environ-ment/food_safety/restaurant_clo-sures/restaurant_closures.

Housing sales took a tumble in April

The frenzy for detached houses eased substantial-ly last month compared to March, with the number of sales dropping more than 45 per cent, according to the latest figures from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver re-leased this week.

At a median selling price of $940,500, 143 Rich-mond houses changed hands in April compared to 262 a month earlier. The average selling price in March was $988,000.

The movement of con-dos and townhouses also slowed considerably, with townhouse sales dropping 24 per cent, and condos nearly 42 per cent.

While the median sell-ing price of a townhouse remained virtually un-changed between March and April at $545,000, condo prices dropped slightly to $349,900.

“While it continues to be a seller’s market in Greater Vancouver, last month’s activity brought greater balance between supply and demand in the overall marketplace,” said board president Ro-sario Setticasi.

The benchmark price of a Richmond home dipped slightly last month, to $1.08 million.

Woman sues hotel over elevator mishap

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

A woman is suing a Richmond hotel and its management company after elevator doors al-legedly closed on her without warning.

Diane Allen was attend-ing a conference May 9, 2009 at what was then known as the Best West-ern Richmond Hotel, at 7551 Westminster Hwy. Upon entering a guest el-evator, the doors closed on her, she claims, caus-ing a fractured rib, bruis-es, contusions and pain and suffering.

Allen has fi led a civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court against Richmond Inn Hotel Ltd. and Larco Hospitality Management Inc., saying the defen-dants were negligent in failing to ensure the elevators were “reason-ably safe.” She is seek-ing general and special damages.

The defendants have yet to respond to the al-legations, which have not been proven in court.

NDP leader Adrian Dix proposed legislation Thursday to ban the use of cosmetic pesticides across the province, then challenged Premier Christy Clark to take action on a bill she says she supports.

Clark was asked about the issue Wednesday, and replied that she has supported such a ban for years. She said she wants to work with the opposition and the public to work out the best way to further restrict the use of lawn and garden weed killers, a move that has already been made by several other provinces and numerous municipalities.

Clark stopped short of saying the B.C. Liberal government would sup-port the NDP bill, which refers to pesticides that mainly target insects and are not generally considered cosmetic. Clark also repeatedly re-ferred to cosmetic pesticides as the target of the proposed legislation.

Dix said the NDP introduced simi-lar legislation on Earth Day last April, but the government took no action. Ontario and Quebec have already banned “cosmetic pesticides” and have seen broad compliance from the public, he said. The most com-mon target of such bans is herbi-cides used to kill dandelions and other broad-leafed weeds.

Michelle Li, chair of the Richmond

Pesticide Awareness Coalition, was encouraged by the news, though wondered why a committee needed to be formed.

“I am wondering why delay it any longer? We have already had a pub-lic consultation on the issue. Ontario already has legislation in place that we can base our legislation on, so I really don’t understand the purpose of another committee and delaying this any longer. There is support from so many organizations that it should be easy to implement,” she said.

Richmond banned the use of pes-ticides on residential property and most city property in 2009. The by-

law gives the city the power to fi ne homeowners up to $1,000 for using products like Roundup and Killex to maintain outdoor grass, trees, shrubs, fl owers and other plants.

“We know the risks, we know that other cities and provinces have banned it, so there is no need to have yet another committee,” Li said.

“I hope that this is one issue that Christy Clark will really rally behind and show B.C. that she will take a stand where others haven’t—that she will make sure that not another person is exposed to unnecessary pesticide exposure for the purpose of a weed-free lawn or park.”

Allan Warnke predicted a Conser-vative majority after doing a riding-by-riding analysis, but didn’t an-ticipate the NDP fi nishing with 102 seats, giving it Offi cial Opposition status for the fi rst time.

“They may end up being poten-tially very effective, simply be-cause of the Conservative majority, strangely enough,” said Warnke, a former Richmond-Steveston MLA. “Everyone’s settled down now for four years, and that means even in the fi rst year where they may be some rough edges exposed, they have four years to hone them-selves...”

In Richmond, the NDP didn’t gain much of a foothold.

Despite the NDP gaining dozens of seats, the party didn’t make sig-nifi cant gains here.

“Richmond is a pretty small-c conservative riding, that gravitates

toward whatever party is about to form government, whether it’s Lib-eral or Conservative,” said Warnke, who lectures on political science at Vancouver Island University.

Another surprise of the night was the Liberal party being reduced to third-party status.

“We knew that the Liberal party was bleeding nationally,” he said. “In some ways it was not just [lead-er Michael] Ignatieff. It was the organization of the Liberal party. It was in a mess, and you could tell that during the campaign.”

The Greens lost many votes across the country, but party leader Elizabeth May did gain a seat, fi nally giving a party that was once just a political movement a base it needed, said Warnke.

“If she wants to see the Green party go anywhere, she’ll have to do a lot of work. Not just during campaign time, she has to build on the profi le she has right now.”

Bob Ransford, who was B.C. cam-paign co-chair for the Conserva-

tives in 2004, said Prime Minis-ter Stephen Harper’s strategy to defi ne and knock down Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff prior to the election was brilliant.

“In doing that I think there was a deliberate strategy to set up a very stark contrast between him (Harper) and whoever remained standing. And there was a bit of calculated risk in doing that though because he wasn’t sure how [NDP leader Jack] Layton, if Layton become the one stand-ing, how he would perform,” said Ransford.

“Had the campaign gone on a bit longer, Layton’s populism could have caught wildfi re and that strat-egy could have backfi red.”

But the federal Orange Crush, as the NDP’s surge in popularity was dubbed, didn’t translate into major advances among voters in Richmond.

Ransord said the Conservatives’ strong base in B.C. helped repel the NDP wave.

Election analysis: Majority no surprise, but still surprises

What Can We Learn From Teenage Drivers?In 2005, ICBC

published a small 16-page booklet called “Navigating the teen driving years — A resource guide for parents.” It addresses the new issues and challenges that teens and their parents face when teens and their friends start driving and offers suggestions, advice, and checklists well worth reviewing at any age and stage in your driving life.

One premise of the booklet is that parents become ‘driving instructors’, whether or not they embrace the role and whether or not their teen is expressly open to this. It encourages parents to ‘model safe driving behaviour’ saying “there is abundant evidence that a teenager’s driving performance mirrors parental practices and parental driving records.” And it recommends discussing safe driving strategies with your teen and continuing to do so “even after your teen gets their full-privilege license.”

Ideally such discussion is a two-way exchange, logical and respectful, not overheated or hectoring. And, as such, parents are encouraged to listen when their new, young, learning driver “points out the parent’s driving errors.”

As a rule, of course, we tend not to welcome or relish such ‘feedback’. It shades into ‘back-seat driving’, which most drivers won’t tolerate. And it’s probably fair to say that conventional wisdom supports this intolerance. After all (this thinking goes) the driver is like a ‘ship’s captain’ making mutinous any challenge the driver’s methods. A distracted and upset driver is not in the optimum state of mind for safe driving. Our tendency to hesitate about second-guessing

a driver’s methods and even route choices is grounded in more than just courtesy and politeness.

When it comes to driving with a new young driver, however, speaking up at the time could be life saving. And making sure to discuss the issue later is an important

opportunity for learning to be better. The truth is, when it comes to road safety and driving skills, we can all learn from one another and benefi t from the advice of keen observers. Licensed drivers are required by law to drive safely by knowing the rules of the road and following them at all times. But this is a tall order.

There are more and more rules and busier and busier streets and highways. We all get into driving habit ruts. A good driver is confi dent and purposeful but also humble about driving skills and open to suggestions for improving. Someone who cares enough to take the time to question your skills and methods could be doing you a life-saving favour. And advice from a new young driver freshly alert to the latest ‘best practices’ may just be one of the best sources for new insight.

Becoming a licensed driver is one of the few common rites of passage for modern teens. But the teen driving years can be stressful. Parents are concerned (—rightly so given the statistics) about their teen’s safety, continue to feel as protective as ever, but are also aware of the need to support their teen’s search for independence and self-reliance.

Students cycle for diabetes fundraiser

Students from across the city will be burning up their muscles for a good cause next week at J.N. Burnett Secondary.

Students from Rich-mond schools have signed up to cycle on a stationary bike for 12 hours to raise funds for research into a cure for juvenile diabetes.

Cyclebetes will be held on Friday, May 13, and Saturday, May 14, in Bur-nett’s gymnasium, 5011 Granville Ave.

Students are invited to come as individuals—where they can join any of the teams already signed up—or as teams.

“Students can make friends here as well as exercising and enjoying the entertainment we’ll be having,” said Claudia Chang, a member of Bur-nett’s Cyclebetes student leadership team.

Organizers are planning movies, performances by local students and music for throughout the event.

There will be hourly prize draws for students riding on the stationary bikes, and up for grabs are gift cards or small gift bags from sponsors.

Students are asked to provide a minimum $15 pledge in order to par-ticipate.

All proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Re-search Foundation.

Retiring firefighters honoured


On Monday night, my kids were glued to

the television set. No, not a Disney special or a kids movie, they were keenly watching the election results.

And even though they understood the signifi cance of Elizabeth May’s election into parliament they were devastated by the overall results.

During the weeks leading up to the election, I tried to keep them informed of what each party stood for and who represented them in our riding. I think my fi ve-year-old was one of the few kindergarteners actively polling people who they were going to vote for. Most were quite surprised that they were so interested in politics.

But why shouldn’t children be interested in our political environment. It impacts their future directly. In fact, I truly believe that children should infl uence their parents on how to vote.

My children chose their party based on three criteria: How did the party protect the(ir) environment? What kind of support did the party give to teachers, doctors, and all the services that kids need? And last, but not least, how well did the

party play with others? I think their thought

process was pretty powerful and they didn’t come to their conclusion lightly. They saw the direct connection between the physical environment and their future. They understood how our medical and education system required government support, and they wanted government representatives who worked with integrity.

I don’t think it was a surprise to say they were not in support of the Conservative Party. They came to that decision based on the party’s support for the tar sands, for asbestos mining, for genetically modifi ed food, proroguing parliament, and the fi nal contempt of Parliament fi nding.

We got quite caught up in this federal election, unlike any other. In

some ways, it was quite surprising to me, since I don’t often put much faith in federal politics. My own work is very much at the grassroots (literally) and that’s where I see real changes taking place.

So, when the blue wave swept across Canada and my kids looked at me with worry in their eyes, I had to remind them of all the amazing things that are going on in our community.

In Richmond, we have a gold-standard pesticide

bylaw that protects children from exposure to cosmetic pesticides; more than fi fty per cent of Richmond schools are now growing food gardens; a new community garden was born over the weekend in front of Homma School; and chickens are hatching at the Terra Nova Sharing Farm.

All of these small actions have an infl uence on politics and that’s what I need to remind both the girls and myself about. Ordinary citizens are change makers, not our representatives in Ottawa. No one party, be it blue, red, orange or green, is going to “save” us. We need to do that for ourselves.

Shades of GreenArzeena Hamir

It looks as if B.C. will soon get a ban on cosmetic pesticides.

On Thursday, newly-minted NDP leader Adrian Dix proposed legislation to ban the use of cosmetic pesticides across the province, then challenged Premier Christy Clark to take action.

Clark, who also recently became leader, says she has supported a ban for years and wants to work with the opposition and the public to work out the best way to further restrict the use of lawn and garden weed killers.

If the two leaders can work together to pass a bill it would be a promising sign that bi-par-tisan co-operation is possible in a forum more noted for rancorous debate.

We are not sure how much there is to study. The dumping of toxic chemicals on such “weeds” as dandelions and chickweed (which are both edible) is totally unnecessary. Why should those who can’t be bothered to weed by hand endanger others by building up a toxic environment.

The province can look to such cities as Rich-mond, which has had a cosmetic pesticides by-law since 2009. (Technically, it’s herbicides that such bylaws target, but most people involved in the debate refer to them as pesticides.) Richmond’s bylaw gives the city the power to fi ne homeowners up to $1,000 for using products like Roundup and Killex to maintain outdoor grass, trees, shrubs, fl owers and other plants.

The bylaw came about in part from pressure from the community. The Richmond Pesticide Awareness Coalition was formed by concerned citizens, some of whom had actually been sprayed by weedicidal maniacs.

Thanks to their lobbying, the message is get-ting heard at the provincial level. Ontario and Quebec have already banned cosmetic pesti-cide use and B.C. looks set to join them.

More than 20 cities throughout B.C. have already banned cosmetic pesticide use. It’s es-sential to have a province-wide ban so we don’t have examples of people being able to buy their dandelion death juice from a neighbour-ing municipality.

So here’s to a less toxic environment, both in the legislature and on our lawns.

EDITORIAL: Here’s to a less toxic environment

Soon, B.C. residents will have to tackle weeds with garden shears, not herbicides.

We got quite caught up in this federal election, unlike any other. In some ways, it was quite surprising to me, since I don’t of-ten put much faith in federal politics.

A win for casino foesEditor:

As someone who spent many evenings at Richmond City Hall seeking to fi ght the expansion of the casino years ago, I want to report some exciting news: Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson has led the way to veto Vancouver’s casino expansion. “Vancouver, not Vegas.”

Nearly a dozen churches in Vancouver along with civic leaders and political, medical, professionals, artists and law enforcement types, said no to a proposed large casino in the downtown core of Vancouver.

The mayor said, “Enabling the largest casino in Western Can-ada in our downtown doesn’t fi t with Vancou-ver’s global brand as the world’s most livable city, the green capital, and hotbed for innova-tion from clean and digital technology to resource management.”

Vancouver had the integrity and courage to turn down $140-mil-lion a year if the new casino’s revenues had reached the projections forecast.

Maybe it’s time for some changes to come to our Richmond City Hall!

Editor:The May 2 federal election was

the one that no one wanted. It was considered to be not only un-necessary but also a boring one.

On the contrary, the fi ve-week campaign and the results proved this to be a very exciting and un-predictable election. This election has brought about a seismic shift in Canada’s political landscape.

Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have fi nally received their long-cherished majority. Let’s hope

that they will use this mandate wisely.

The NDP’s historic breakthrough in Quebec bodes well for Canada. With the near demise of Bloc Que-becois, the issue of Quebec’s threat of separation can be laid to rest.

The collapse of the natural gov-erning party (Liberals) indicates that they need to reinvent them-selves in order to regain public trust. All in all, it was a fascinating display of our democratic process.

At the local level, congratula-

tions are in order to Alice Wong and Kerry-Lynne Findlay. It is a great credit to all of the candi-dates in both of our ridings—Richmond and Delta-Richmond East—that the campaigns were run on policy not on personali-ties and mud slinging. They were well run by all parties. For this, all of the candidates and their campaign workers must be com-mended.

Fuel facility has safety featuresEditor:

Re: “New homes and jet fuel not the best mix,” April 29, Letters.

All elements of the proposed Van-couver Airport Fuel Delivery Project will be designed, constructed and operated according to the latest regulations, standards, codes and guidelines associated with marine terminals, fuel handling facilities, and pipelines.

In Canada, fuel handling facili-

ties must be designed and built to stringent seismic, fi re and build-ing codes. They must comply with CSA, National Fire Code and Federal Storage Tank regulations. If built, our fuel receiving facility will incorporate a number of preven-tion measures, such as secondary containment, emissions control systems, and modern corrosion protection and leak detection systems. It will be controlled and monitored by operations personnel during all offl oading, fuel transfer and fuel handling activities.

Our facilities would be located on land zoned for industrial use. The

operational areas of the marine ter-minal are more than a half-kilome-tre away from the condo complex, and the fuel receiving and storage area even further. This separation does not pose a signifi cant risk to residents of this complex.

The rigorous provincial and federal environmental assess-ment process, which includes the City of Richmond and Richmond Fire-Rescue, will ensure the project provides a safe and environmen-tally responsible solution to serve the airport long into the future.

TRISTAR COLLISION#160-12440 Vulcan Way, Richmond

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

Editor:Your front page on Thursday says

nearly half of Richmond voters didn’t vote.

I’m one who was effectively de-nied my option to vote, as, I hear, were other disabled people.

I received my voting card in the mail a week or two ago—looked at it, saw “school” and figured, “good, at the same place, next door, I’ve voted the past three or four elec-tions.”

On election day I show up at Blundell Elementary School only to be told that my polling station is ac-tually a mile farther from my home, at Richmond High on Minoru.

I asked the supervisor there if any accommodation could be made (for example, was there a budget for an accessible taxi?)

He phoned the chief electoral

officer (I think to ask if they could take my vote here, at the logical and usual location) but the chief said no.

I’m in a power wheelchair and it was pouring rain really hard on Monday.

I was frustrated that the recent gerrymandered addition of Delta-Richmond East had arbitrarily pushed a mile farther from home to vote. (I know the gerrymandering wasn’t extreme, like “Gracie’s Fin-ger” from way back, but still comes across as arbitrary and counter-functional.)

Since the last election, I actually moved a block farther from Blundell Elementary, yet they still saw fit to make me go even farther (by two kilometres).

Seniors are too often victimized by telemarketing fraud.

Studies from the American Association of Retired Persons have shown that many elderly fraud victims simply don’t suspect the person soliciting money on the phone could be a criminal.

In Canada, the Better Business Bureau is warning of phone calls that are fraudulently claiming to be from legitimate businesses, but are in fact scams meant to steal credit card numbers and other sen-sitive personal information.

“People should think twice when giving out any information over the phone—even if the name sounds legitimate,” says Lynda Pasacreta, Better Business Bureau president and CEO. “Scammers often use familiar or well-established names in order to gain trust, which poses a real danger to the public.”

The Better Business Bureau has received reports from the public recently about unsolicited phone calls from companies such as Safeway, Air Miles, Microsoft and West Jet. Most of these fraudulent phone calls begin the same way: an automated or live caller contacts the person, referencing membership points and a prize—including bonus points, extra miles or a vacation. The caller then asks the person to provide their credit card in-formation for verifi cation. These companies have advised that they do not make unsolicited calls in which they request personal or fi nancial informa-tion.

In the case of the alleged caller from Microsoft, they claim to be phoning about a serious problem with the person’s computer. The caller warns that if the problem is not solved, the computer will become unusable. In order to “fi x” it, the computer owner is directed to a website and told to down-load a program, plus pay a fee for a subscription to this preventative service.

The catch: there was never anything wrong with the computer, the caller is not working for Mi-crosoft, and the owner has downloaded to their computer damaging malware and spyware.

BBB advises the public that these phony phone calls are common, and people should:

•Treat all unsolicited phone calls with skepticism. Check with the organization directly that the caller

is claiming to be from, using the contact numbers found on their website.

•Do not provide any personal information. Many of these scam calls are an attempt to steal your identity, not just your money. Don’t provide per-sonal information over the telephone.

•Never provide credit or debit card information for payment. You may be able to reverse charges made through your credit card, but you’ve given enough information for fraudsters to use your ac-count for other transactions. And debit purchases are diffi cult to reverse.

Report any fraudulent activity, especially if you’ve been a victim. Consumers should report any fraud-ulent activity to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or www.antifraudcentre.ca.

Don’t be a victim of telephone fraud

Bhullar is Sportsperson of the Yearby Don FennellSports Editor

Legend has it that Arjan Bh-ullar’s fi rst steps were taken on a wrestling mat.

True or not, wrestling has been his No. 1 passion from an early age. Defeating Jog-inder Kumar in the gold medal match of the men’s 120-kilo-gram weight class at last year’s Commonwealth Games in New Dehli made him a folk hero in India, and armed him with renewed confi dence and determination as he pursues his dream of competing at the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London, England.

“I am defi nitely going to con-tinue to wrestle until the 2012 Olympic Games. Beyond that I don’t know right now,” said Bh-ullar, recognized as The Rich-mond Review Sportsperson of the Year for 2010 at the 12th Richmond Sports Awards and Recognition Banquet Thurs-day. (The annual celebration is presented by The Review, Richmond Sports Council and City of Richmond).

Bhullar has expressed an interest in mixed martial arts and a possible career in that sport. In the long term, he

said he would like to stay in-volved in wrestling—perhaps as a coach.

“But right now all the focus is on 2012,” he stressed.

A week shy of his 25th birth-day, Bhullar was treated like royalty after his gold-medal victory in India. Children clamoured to get his auto-graph and admiring adults to get their photo taken with him. But while enjoyed the moment, it didn’t take long before reality—and the hard work still ahead—set in.

Recently returning from a training camp in Cuba, Bhul-lar is now preparing a summer schedule that will culminate at the world championships in Istanbul, Turkey Sept. 8 to 10.

As important as wrestling is to Bhullar, family is equally so. Growing up on a Richmond farm, he was surrounded by a large, supportive family that ensured there was never a dull moment. A makeshift gym provided the foundation for many hours of fun, and for the athletic Bhullar a place to hone his wrestling skills under the tutelage of his dad Avtar, a national-level wrestler who won many tournaments

and championships in Canada and India and came close to qualifying for the Olympic Games.

While attending James Whi-teside Elementary, Bhullar also began to display a notable athletic prowess in basketball and football. But eventually he stopped participating in the two sports to concentrate solely on wrestling.

Bhullar won three provincial high school championships and in Grade 12 added a na-tional age-group title. The hard work was clearly paying off.

After graduating from high school, Bhullar enrolled at Simon Fraser University and joined the wrestling team. He earned several honours, capped in 2010 by a second consecutive National Intercol-legiate Athletic Association-championship in the 120-ki-logram weight class. He also graduated with a political science degree.

There’s only two more achievements to make Bhul-lar’s wrestling resume com-plete: a world champion-ship and and Olympic gold medal.

Mike Jones, in his 32nd

year coaching wrestling at Simon Fraser Univer-sity, said although Bhullar

(at 6-1, 100 kilograms) is small for a heavyweight, his per-sistence and work ethic are

outstanding. “I’ve been very pleased with

his progress,” Jones said.

Arjan Bhullar had plenty to celebrate in 2010, including a second consecutive NAIA wrestling championship and a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games.

Coach of the Year

A strong communicator who stresses discipline, Maurice Hamlin guided the Richmond Blues to the provincial Juvenile A1 ice hockey championship in 2009-10.

Since joining the Rich-mond Minor Hockey As-sociation in 2002-03, Hamlin’s teams have never failed to qualify for the provincials.

Coaching at the Juve-nile level poses its own unique challenges. The players are involved in post-secondary studies or work full time; and their focus may not be on learning new team tactics. By communicat-ing with and treating his players as men, and by exhibiting fair play and sportsmanship, he gains the respect of his play-ers.

Hamlin stresses disci-pline and avoiding taking “stupid penalties,” and his teams are routinely among the least penal-izes.

Richmond hosted the Juvenile provincials in 2009, due in large part to Hamlin’s efforts in spearheading the host-ing committee.

While he does not have any kids playing hockey at the minor level, he con-tinues to give unselfi shly of his time and expertise. This dedication to the game has rubbed off on his son, who has assisted him in coaching the RMHA Juvenile A1 teams for the past several years.

•Also nominated: Derek Chichak, Seafair Minor Hockey; and Ferenc Sza-bo Jr., Richmond Gymnas-tics Association.

University athletes of the Year

Kaelan Watson was the most valuable player at the Canadian university women’s fi eld hockey champion-ships in 2010, leading her University of Toronto Blues to the national championship.

Kaelan Watson Jordan OyeKaelan Watson was selected tournament MVP and

All-Canadian for the second straight season in lead-ing the University of Toronto Blues to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport women’s fi eld hockey title.

Recently named captain of the Blues for the upcom-ing season, the Canadian national women’s team member began her fi eld hockey career with the Rich-mond Field Hockey Club in 2000, graduating from the junior club in 2008.

Club play was augmented when she became an Un-ner-14 player through the Field Hockey B.C. regional and provincial development program. She achieved success in this program through more refi ned skill development and a more competitive level of play. She also developed her skills from a different meth-odology by taking on the role of a club junior coach and later as a coach in the regional program.

School fi eld hockey at Hugh McRoberts Secondary also became an important fi eld for her development, capped in 2007 when she and her teammates cel-ebrated a provincial AAA championship.

•Also nominated: Sara Hopwood (softball) and Christine Wong (golf ).

Jordan Oye was a hockey player from the day he was born.

Raised in Richmond, which is where his passion for hockey developed, Oye has given back to the community through teaching other kids how to skate and play hockey, as well as through other humanitarian ventures he came across while com-pleting his Human Services Career Prep course at R.A. McMath Secondary, where he graduated.

Oye’s skill and talent as a hockey player led him from the Richmond Sockeyes Junior B team to a Junior B team in Ontario and then to Fredonia State University where he is just fi nishing up a double major in business and economics. He has excelled over the past four years at his chosen sport as well as in the classroom, which has landed him on the dean’s list on several occasions.

Not only has he often been on the dean’s list, but he has also won many awards and honours includ-ing this past season as the SUNYAC Herb Hammond Player of the Year award, and was named to the NCAA Division 3 All-American Hockey Team by the American Hockey Coaches Association.

On top of that, he was nominated for a Chancel-lor’s Award, which is given to a student who excels at both school and athletics. He was chosen as a nominee from students from all across America.

Also nominated: Evan Dunfee (track and fi eld) Laurence Nixon (football).

Builders

Jean-Jacques (JJ) Schmidt moved to Canada from France in 1971, and to Richmond shortly afterwards.

Before coming to Canada, he served in the air force as a technician. He car-ried on this vocation in Canada, and is known as a technologist.

He got involved with the Richmond Kajaks Track and Field Club in the late 1970s as both an athlete and a coach. He has had considerable success in both.

Schmidt spends 20 to 25 hours a week coaching, attending meetings or planning Kajaks events; and has been involved for many years in tim-ing and organizing the likes of the Icebreaker 8k road race, B.C. Elemen-tary Track and Field Championships, and the Richmond Olympic Oval 10k road race.

JJ Schmidt Gary Rosval

Wayne BraunVictor Gantsevich

Overseeing the day-to-day opera-tions of the largest girls’ softball association in the province, and second biggest in Canada, is no easy job.

But Gary Rosval makes it seem routine.

As president of the RGSA, Rosval not only promotes the best quali-ties of the game, such as sports-manship and participation, but has ensured the opportunity for local softball participants to participate in numerous tournaments through-out the season.

Indeed, Rosval has helped Rich-mond establish a reputation as a tournament hosting capital, with girls’ softball tournaments just about every weekend at either London Park and McNair Park.

Founder of the Dynamo Fencing Club, the largest and most success-ful in B.C., Maitre Victor Gantsevich has taught fencing in Richmond for the past 14 years.

A qualified Master of Sport in Fencing, the highest sport spe-cific level of coaching attainable, he has extensive experience at all levels from beginner to elite and recreation to Olympic, as well as in all three weapons—sabre, foil and epee.

Gantsevich’s competitive stu-dents consistently achieve high rankings at all competition levels. Among the notables are his son Igor, who has been a member of the Canadian national team since 2004 in senior men’s epee; Tigran Bijgoric, also a Canadian national team member since 2004 in senior men’s epee; and Shaul Gordon, a Canadian national team member at the cadet and junior men’s level in sabre.

Wayne Braun is the volunteer that sports organizations pray for.

Having devoted more than 25 years to the advancement of curl-ing in Richmond, he has also held executive positions in the Pacifi c Coast Curling Association, Curl BC, and is a founding member of the Pacifi c International Cup, an annual Richmond-based event that brings men’s and women’s teams from the U.S. and elsewhere to play against B.C. regional club champions.

Braun was instrumental in the almagamation of three provincial curling associations to form one governing body—Curl BC. He was elected the fi rst president of the new body.

Braun doesn’t shy away from phys-ical work either. Despite having to cross an international border (resid-ing in the U.S. for family reasons), he paints much of the interior of the Richmond Curling Club every summer.

High SchoolAthlete

A long jumper, triple jumper, sprinter and de-cathlete with the Rich-mond Kajaks, Nick Fyffe is also a student at Van-couver College.

At the 2010 BC High School Track and Field Championships, he placed fi rst in the triple jump and third in the decathlon (as a Grade 10 athlete competing against Grade 11s and 12s).

He also placed fi rst in the triple jump and sec-ond in the long jump at the BC Juvenile Track and Field Championships, and second in the triple jump at the Canadian Juvenile Championships (com-peting against athletes of the same age and one year older).

In winning the triple jump, Fyffe jumped 14.08 meters, breaking a 30-year-old B.C. record.

Also nominated: Hans and Karsten Fast (vol-leyball).

Nick Fyffe broke a 30-year-old B.C. record in 2010.

Special Olympian of the YearMagnus Batara

A swimmer with the Special Olympics aquatics program, Magnus Batara started par-ticipating in the sport at a young age.

His coach for the last three years, Christine Soon, said it’s been a pleasure to watch him develop not only as an athlete but also as a positive role model.

Well-respected, he demon-strates hard work and dedica-

tion in every practice. He has competed at all regional, pro-vincial and national levels.

In 2010, Batara was invit-ed to swim in the 2010 B.C. Summer Games representing Richmond Special Olympics (Region 4). He won three gold medals and four silver med-als. He also won gold at the 2010 Speedo Can/Am Para Swimming Championships in Toronto last December.

Magnus Batara stood out in the pool.

Don Fennell Award of Distinction

Dolphin Park basketball classic organizing committee

’Twas the summer of ‘86.Designated the International Year

of Peace by the United Nations, it was also the year Vancouver hosted the world at Expo 86. Out of Africa was the best picture, Madonna ruled the pop charts, and Search for Tomorrow ended a 35-year run on TV, the longest-running non-news program in net-work history.

In Richmond, a group of recent high school grads had just orga-nized a somewhat impromptu day-long basketball tournament with the top prize being a case of a popular adult beverage that would be consumed by end of the fi nal.

Twenty-five years later, the Dolphin Basketball Classic has evolved into Western Canada’s best-known four-on-four tourna-

ment. It’s not quite as famous as New York’s Rucker Park, but it’s getting there.

Despite enormous growth and unavoidable change, most of the original organizers remain—Bira Bindra, TJ Johal, Tony Wonghen and Bruce Watson—still holding onto the memories of a simple play-ground battle for bragging rights between friends.


This year you have the choice between a fully-furnished 6,000 square foot mansion near Port Moody worth over $2 million, a lake-view property in Kelowna, a luxury yacht vacation for two to the Virgin Islands, a Ferrari California and a $61,000 tax-free cash prize package, worth over $1.8 million, or a stunning home set in the heart of Predator Ridge Resort in Vernon, his and hers Mercedes Benz SL550s and a $377,000 tax-free cash prize package

worth over $1.8 million. Or, you can choose $1.4 million tax-free cash!If you buy before midnight on May 12, you will be eligible to win the Early Bird prize of a brand-new Porsche Panamera 4,

or take $114,000 tax-free cash! The Early Bird prize winner will also be eligible for the Grand Prize draw. General ticket sales will be cut off by midnight on May 20, so buy now! The winning ticket will be drawn on June 4, and winners will be notified by phone or by mail if they’ve won!Tickets are $50 each, three for $100, nine

for $250 or 12 for $300. You can buy tickets online at www.varietylottery.ca, by phone at 604-697-8946 ot toll free 1-877-WOW-UWIN (1-877-969-8946) or in person at any B.C.

Masters Athletes of the YearGwen McFarlan John Winfi eld

Gwen McFarlan set a world record in 2010.

John Winfi eld enjoyed a spectacular 2010.

Gwen McFarlan, 76, set a world record by winning her age group at the Victoria Marathon in four hours, two minutes, and 27 seconds Oct. 10.

That was just one of the highlights for this Richmond Kajaks’ track and fi eld marvel, who continues to excel. She also won two other marathons and made the top three qualifi ers for BC Athletics’ Athlete of the Year Award.

John Winfi eld, 64, showed that age is no obstacle as the Richmond Kajak blazed to victories in the men’s 100 metres at the B.C. Seniors Games in Comox in 13.77 seconds and at the B.C. Masters Championships in Langley in 14.01 seconds. He also placed fi rst in the 200 metres at the Trevor Craven Track and Field Meet in Burnaby, earn-ing the No. 1 Canadian ranking (out-doors) with his winning time of 27.75 seconds, and earned the No. 1 indoor ranking in Canada with a fourth-place fi nish (28.29) at the World Indoor Mas-ters Championships in Kamloops.

Senior Athlete of the Year

Arjan Bhullar

Arjan Bhullar won a gold medal in wrestling at the 2010 Commonwealth Games.

Arjan Bhullar stood tall in 2010, becoming the first wrestler ever to win both a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) championship in the same season; his final year competing for Simon Fraser University.

In winning his second straight NAIA national title, Bhullar became the first member of the Clan since Olympic champion Daniel Igali to achieve the feat.

He was also selected as the NAIA’s most outstanding wrestler for 2010.

The talented Bhullar also won Wrestler of the Year honours after repeating as gold medallist in the men’s 120-kilogram (285- pound) weight class at the Canadian senior champion-ships.

And he scooped up the Canada Cup title, before going on to cap an incredible year with his gold-medal victory at the Commonwealth Games in New Dehli, India.

•Also nominated: Igor Gantsevich (fencing) and Nathan Hirayama (rugby).

Matthew Hoekstra photoInspired into action by local fundraising efforts for victims of the March 11 earth-quake and tsunami that devastated Japan, Steveston’s Janet Yau, joined by her four-year-old son Tysen Nitta, rallied together 55 Steveston merchants and many moms to raise $8,100 for the Canadian Red Cross Society through a raffl e.

Showcasing more than 8,000 plants, the “Blossom at Richmond Centre” event en-gaged mall visitors to create origami wishes to attach to the Flowering Wishing Tree. For every wish attached to the tree, Richmond Centre promised to donate $1 to Children’s Wish Foundation (to a maximum of $10,000, the average cost of granting one child their wish). In total, 12,902 wishes were put on the tree. Leslie Matheson (left), mall marketing director, and Maria Valley (right), marketing co-ordinator, present a $10,000 cheque to Kim Antifaeff (centre), fundraising co-ordinator, Chil-dren’s Wish Foundation.

Navy League Cadet Corps MJ Miller #78 of Richmond won the Best First Aid Team Award and Best First Aid Team Captain Award in a recent annual provincial competi-tion. The group, comprised of youth between the ages of nine and 13, competed April 16 in Surrey for the awards.
