ARichmond RCMP officer with ahistory of assault is once again in troublewith the law. But this time his superiorsare seeking his dismissal.On Thursday the city’s Mounties

announced Const. KenrickWhitney isfacing charges of theft under $5,000 andbreach of trust for alleged crimes thattook place while he was on duty.In June, Whitney was suspended

from duty and stripped of his policeidentification and was suspendedwithout pay in February 2014, accordingto Chief Superintendent Brian Cantera.“This alleged behaviour is

unacceptable and not in keeping withthe core values of the RCMP and publicexpectations,” stated Cantera.According to an RCMP news release,

Whitney’s alleged thefts took placewithin the detachment. In addition to thetheft, Whitney is officially charged withbreach of trust by a public officer.The case as it is set to go to Richmond

Provincial Court on May 27.“He will also be facing a disciplinary

hearing where the RCMP commandingofficer will be seeking his dismissal,”stated Cantera.In 2003, Whitney, who once played

for the BC Lions, pleaded guilty toassault after “slapping” a man for takinga parking spot he wanted in Vancouver

while he was off duty. For that, hewas ordered to perform 25 hours ofcommunity service and was fined twodays worth of pay by the RCMP.In 2007, Whitney was in trouble

with the law again when an RCMPadjudication board foundWhitney guiltyof disgraceful conduct for confrontinga driver in an unprofessional manner. Itwas determined that Whitney swore ata driver and spat in his face during thatincident, while Whitney was workingfor the RCMP’s drug section.DNA tests provedWhitney’s saliva

ended up on the driver’s jacket, but at ahearing he blamed gum falling out of hismouth and into the vehicle as the cause.

The Pacific Autism Family Centre Foundation hopes toget one step closer to breaking ground on a 60,000 squarefoot facility on Sea Island after seeking approval from theCity of Richmond.The application will go to a development permit panel

today and is recommended by staff that it be approved bycity councillors.The $28 million building, replete with soft lighting,

would be built next to the BCITAerospace campus by thenon-profit organization, which has raised the money for thefacility through private and public funds.The foundation’s CEO, Sergio Cocchia, said $20 million

has come from a provincial government grant while theremaining funds will come from donations. A $5 millionendowment fund will help kick-start the operations.The facility would be a destination for families affected

byAutism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It will house clinics,labs, classrooms, observation rooms, research spaces anda library.According to Cocchia, the facility plans to be an

important research and service hub in the province. Similarfacilities exist across NorthAmerica but this will be thefirst of its kind in B.C.“One concern for autism is building capacity for service

providers outside of the Lower Mainland,” said Cocchia.The Richmond location will serve eight satellite

locations across B.C. through a remote IT health servicenetwork. “We’ve engaged a community of about 85professionals. The centralization will greatly enhancethe ability of service providers to reach families,” saidCocchia.According to the foundation’s website, the disorder has

a variety of effects on people, including difficulties withcommunication and social interactions, repetitive interestsand activities and stereotypic motor behaviours.

Chef cooks up ‘souper’ soccer book

If Mark Scott is as good a soup maker as he isprognosticator of international soccer, a whole bunch ofpeople could well be tucking into a bowls of black bean andchicken soup on July 13.Why? Scott, executive chef at Legend’s Pub for the better

part of a decade, is ramping up efforts in his kitchen toproduce soups synonymous with the nations playing in the2014World Cup Finals — the quadrennial feast of footballwhich starts next month in Brazil.On each game day, beginning June 12, Scott will be serving

up a soup from one country, right through to the final on July13.Plus, he’s in the midst of releasing a self-published recipe

book packed with 33 soups representing each nation.While there are 32 teams participating, Scott produced two

recipes for Spain to mark that country’s accomplishment ofwinning the European Championships twice (2008 and 2012),and the 2010World Cup in SouthAfrica.The recipe book, The World Cup of Soups, builds on Scott’s

successful efforts during the 2010 tournament, when he kickedoff the soup for each soccer nation concept.“The response back then was insane,” said Scott, who spent

about 30 years playing soccer in leagues across the LowerMainland, Kelowna and Calgary, much of it as a hard-rockcentral defender, then a goalie before knee injuries put him onthe touchline permanently.“We had people emailing and phoning in, asking what the

soup was for that day. And they were lined up waiting to get into the place to watch the games and have a bowl of soup.“We ended up selling 15 litres of soup during the hot

summer days, which is not exactly the type of thing for thattime of year.” One of the biggest challenges in producing therecipes was scaling them back for home kitchens, and makingsure the ingredients for some of the more exotic dishes wereavailable in the region.“When I’m making 15 litres of soup in the pub’s kitchen, I

don’t even measure,” Scott said. “I’ve been doing this kind ofthing for so long, it comes by nature.”Conducting the research was an eye-opening experience,

Scott said, adding he’s modernized some traditional recipes,“giving people the option of making a cream soup without

using flour to thicken it if they have an intolerance to gluten.”As for locating some ingredients, some proved harder than

others, including Nigeria, with Scott having trouble findingthe uziza leaf (also known as pepper leaf) for the okra, chickenand uziza leaf soup. After some Internet-based research, hefinally found it at a Granville Island shop.And when it came to Ghana’s nikraka with fufu dumplings,

Scott was almost stumped.“What the heck were fufu dumplings?” he said, adding it

required some extra research before he ended up making themhimself.So, if Canada ever made a return to the World Cup Finals

— the one and only appearance was in 1986 in Mexico; themen’s team is currently ranked a dismal 110th in the world— what soup would represent the Great White North?“It’s not something I’ve really had to put much thought

into,” Scott said chuckling. “But it would probably be asalmon and corn chowder.”The recipe book is available onAmazon.com, Barnes and

Noble, and Scott is trying to get it on the shelves of Vancouverlocations of Chapters, and Black Bond Books.“I’m also going to be selling it out of the pub, as well as

through the Rick Hansen Foundation website (rickhansen.com) and its World Cup pool,” Scott said.As for what will be on the top of the two-soup menu for

the July 13 final match at the legendary Maracanã stadiumin Rio De Janeiro, Scott’s black bean and chicken soup forhost nation Brazil is what he believes will be the winner withSpain’s caldo gallego — a white bean dish with cured ham andpotatoes — the runner up.“I pick Brazil and Spain to be in the final,” Scott said. “With

Brazil, they have a young team that, even with the heavy weightof expectations from a whole nation, will probably win.”

It’s a momentous second every singlesoccer fan dreams of — lifting the WorldCup for his or her country.And, with less than a month to go

before the first ball is kicked in Brazil,Davood Khatami and Dominique Jarrylived out that very fantasy this weekinside the former’s Steveston café.Granted, they weren’t raising aloft

the genuine FIFAHoly Grail of soccer— but it’s an actual size/weight replicaKhatami and Jerry have gotten their handson for next month’s World Cup Village

in Steveston and it’s close enough for thesoccer-mad pair.“It’s a beauty, isn’t it?” grinned the

Iranian-born, Germany-supportingKhatami, as he carefully removed thefamous trophy from its display case.“It’s as close as it gets to the real thing

and soccer fans are going to be desperateto have their photo taken with this.”The World Cup kicks off June 12 in Sao

Paulo when Brazil takes on Croatia in theopening game.And throughout the tournament’s 32

day duration, the same number of localbusinesses have signed up to transformSteveston into a World Cup Village, withpromises to decorate their stores in the

colours and traditions of their adoptedWorld Cup-competing country.There are also plans for mini-street

parties, musicians, promos, giveawaysand competitions, with each participatingbusiness hosting a ‘National Day,’ duringthe World Cup, in which all the focus forthat day will be on them.“The plan is for me to deliver our

World Cup trophy to whatever store orbusiness is having its “National Day,” saidSteveston World Cup Village inventor andBean and Beyond Café owner Khatami.“That whole day, they can show the

World Cup off and then, when it’s allover, it will be coming home with me toBean and Beyond.”

Chocolatier Jarry, meanwhile, is bakingup a plan to make a lifesize replicachocolate World Cup cake, worth about$500.“It will take about a week to make and

will be made with real French chocolate,”said Frenchman Jarry.“And the plan is to present the cake to

the business that gets the most votes forhosting the best National Day.”The Richmond News is also getting in

on the act with a “Best Dressed Pavilion”competition, where readers can vote forthe business they think has added the mostcolour or invention to the World Cup

Has the West Dyke trail gone to the dogs?According to one anonymous resident ithas.A single resident of Richmond has

phoned the City of Richmond bylawdepartment 33 times in the past fourmonths to complain about off-leash dogs,prompting the city to canvass the area inMarch to determine the true scope of theproblem.Aside from the one resident’s complaints

— mostly in relation to the dyke betweenGarry Point Park and Terra Nova Park— the city recorded an additional 23complaints across the entire municipality inthe same time period.In 2013 the city recieved 54 “off-leash”

complaints.As a result of the persistent complaints

and the city’s findings, it has been decidedthat the bylaw department, along withRCMP auxiliary officers, will now embarkon an enhanced summer dog licence andenforcement program.A report tabled to the community safety

committee on Tuesday spells out theSummer Dogs Program.The program will be launched after

non-uniformed bylaw officers spent timepatrolling the dyke area in eight, four-hourshifts. The officers reported 52 out of 231observed dogs were walking without aleash. Also, 17 dogs were found to “clearly”not have a licence. During this time theofficers did not interact with the public and

only observed the bylaw infractions.The report stated that as a result of the

city’s growing population there has beenmore pedestrian and dog traffic in publicareas. The report cited 55 dog bite incidentsin 2013 but did not provide comparable datafor years prior.The program will see bylaw officers

and workers from the public works andenvironmental sustainability departmentcanvass door-to-door to disseminateinformation on dog licences as well asinformation on the city’s pesticide usebylaw.Also, working with staff from the parks

department and the RCMP auxiliary,bylaw officers plan on ramping up theirenforcement of off-leash dogs in areas suchas beaches, dykes, playgrounds and trailsthat are not designated off-leash areas.“Officers will provide a visible presence

and enforce dog regulations whereappropriate. The focus of this programwill be to educate the public regardingresponsible dog regulations whereappropriate,” stated the report from bylawmanager Edward Warzel.The City of Richmond requests dog

owners abide by two common “bestpractices” when taking ownership of acanine: leashing one’s dog in a public placeand having a city licence for the dog.Warzel noted the program costs will

be covered by “surplus funding dueto vacancies and potential off-settingrevenues” but did not indicate an actual costwhen asked by the Richmond News.In 2013 the city reported 55 dog biting

incidents and issued 60 off-leash tickets.

Psychosis

Aweek after the theatrical troupe Richmondin 3D won the city’sArtistic InnovationAwardfor “producing visionary creative work” and“bringing a new cultural experience to the cityof Richmond,” the government has pulled thetroupe’s funding.“The program did not meet their (the

federal government’s) criteria,” said ParmGrewal, executive director of RichmondMulticultural Community Services, the non-profit organization that runs Richmond in3D, a program of self-empowerment theatreworkshops for youth, which send strongmessages of anti-racism, anti-bullying andinclusiveness.Funding for Richmond in 3D had been in

place for the last five years through a provincialgovernment grant program known as theWelcoming and Inclusive Communities andWorkplaces Program, which aimed to supportnew immigrants and create open dialogue foryouth of all backgrounds.This year the funding was pulled from the

provincial program by the federal government,which is now using that money for similarprogramming of its own, according to Grewal.However, that new programming is now only

being targeted to certain newcomers to Canada.“We do not distinguish between newcomers

and longer-term residents. Basically everyoneis welcome, but the government’s priority nowis to fund people new to Canada, under threeyears,” explained Grewal, noting it would havebeen too difficult to produce workshops just fornewcomers of three years or less.“It’s a challenge as I don’t think settlement

ends after three years. Settlement can be a longprocess based on their challenges. Making acommunity work and be inclusive is abouthelping people with longer-term struggles,”said Grewal.

The program will now operate on a limited,voluntary basis.Grewal also said one of the things that

worked best for the program was the fact newimmigrants could mingle with both longer-term immigrants and multi-generationalCanadians to talk about their uniqueexperiences.“The program seemed to have a lot of

impact and built leaders among peers inschools. That’s why we believe it’s a programthat should continue,” she said.The youth troupe consists of high school

students in the city who take on leadershiproles after receiving training from adult RMCSstaff, such as Richmond in 3D’s director MarkPawson, a professional actor and expert innon-violent communication skills.“The program morphed because of

government request for more anti-bullyingworkshops. So we expanded and there’s agreat demand for it,” said Pawson.The troupe works mostly in elementary

schools and incorporates role-playing anddiscussion. By the end of the workshop,the hope is that the younger students willbe better able to empathize with their peersand understand and respect one another’sdifferences.As troupe member Katerina Ostrodsky, a

Grade 12 McRoberts student explained:“We’re not trying to tell them, we’re more

trying to teach them,” she said.Ostrodsky is one of many troupe members

who recently heard of the cuts. She said overthe past few years she has seen a number ofyoung students change in a matter of days asa result of the troupe’s work. She recalled oneboy in particular who on day one was too shyto speak, but by the third day had the entiregroup role-playing his ideas.“In the third workshop, we get the kids

to do the acting and this boy made so manysuggestions because, I think, it was his story ina way.We ended up in a group and he endedup telling us a story and so we re-enacted it,”said Ostrodsky.Pawson believes the cultural diversity in

Metro Vancouver and, in particular, Richmondhas helped make Richmond in 3D a success,but it’s also a reason to keep it going.“As much as it is multicultural, there’s still

an unknown that doesn’t get talked about. So,with this project, we talk about things thataren’t normally talked about. The Canadianexperience is a melting pot of differenttraditions and religions. These kids don’tnormally share those things about themselvesbut when they do, their lives become moreenriched,” said Pawson.

One Steveston restaurant’s future ofgrowing some of its own fruit and veg is onthe rise, quite literally.Kevin Kroestch, who runs Living Cafe

with his daughter Amanda, is getting readyfor another growing season using a devicecalled the Garden Tower — a soil-freeplanter that rises on a five-foot-tall column.Kroetsch said the rapid results — plants

grow at about twice the normal rate — andability to keep the crops pesticide-free isa perfect match for the restaurant’s themewhich includes organically grown andgluten-free ingredients.“It produces some of the best-tasting stuff

I’ve had since growing up on the familydairy farm in Ontario,” said Kroetsch,who spied the Tower Garden at a tradeshow about three years back and becameinterested in how it might benefit hisbusiness.Last year, Kroetsch had a few of the

Tower Garden planters on the deck in frontof his restaurant.“It was great for the customers to see,

right in front of them, the produce we weregrowing,” Kroestsch said.This year, the towers will make way for

additional, outdoor seating, and the cropswill be grown in Kroetsch’s back yardwhere up to five Tower Gardens will be inuse growing tomatoes, peppers, kale and anassortment of herbs.Even at a cost of $600 each — Tower

Gardens are sold through a multi-levelmarketing program – Kroetsch said it’s aneconomical investment.While Kroetsch is using organic

seedlings, what the Tower Garden producesthrough it’s aeroponics system — a termwhich describes the flow of nutrient-lacedwater over the plants — is not officially

certified asorganically grown,according to theCertified OrganicAssociations of BC.Plus, those using

it will still have todeal with the samepests plaguing homegardeners.“With any of

these gardening kits,it will still requiresome due diligenceby the home gardener to ensure pests suchas aphids, cabbage moths, white flies anddisease such as powdery mildew and blightdo not get a foothold in the garden,” saidGary Lake, past president of the RichmondGardening Club.Raymond Vandermeys, who is

distributing the Tower Garden locallyadded the product is a good option for keengardeners who don’t have a yard or accessto a plot of soil in a community garden.“And because of its vertical nature,

it’s perfect for those people using awheelchair,” he said.

For years we’ve beentold that climatechange is going to be

the unfortunate legacy weleave to our children.But it turns out we don’t

have to wait that long. Asa new report by more than300 top scientists madeclear this week, climatechange is already here.Although meteorologists

are at pains to point outthat weather is not climate,most adults can’t help butbe struck by the remarkablechanges in temperatures,seasons and unusualweather patterns discernibleto even non-scientists in ourlifetimes.As the report makes clear,

the changes are borne out byscience. They are caused byhuman activity generatinggreenhouse gases and theyare happening faster thanpredicted.Most of the effects are

extremely detrimental.They include increasing

numbers of hurricanes andtornadoes, heavy rainsin some parts of NorthAmerica and drought inothers.On the West Coast,

reduced snow pack,rising sea levels, oceanacidification, storm surgesand forest infestations arejust some of the challengeslikely to get worse in thefuture.

The questionremains, what are wewilling to do about it?Despite widespreadacknowledgement ofconcern, Canada’s ownefforts to reduce greenhousegas emissions remaininadequate.Oil and gas production is

one of our country’s largestcontributors to the problem.Yet our government largelyrefuses to recognize this,much less move to mitigateit.As the report this week

makes clear, however, thetime to act is now.Because a dramatically

altered planet will soon beeveryone’s problem.

Why can’t city just say ‘no’ to Onni?

Here we go again: my, my– how can we resist you?There have been a

series of meetings between cityhall and Onni over the last fewweeks.As it now stands, council has directed

city staff to see what public amenities itcan get the developer to agree on — whichmay or may not include a public library or amaritime museum.Steveston merchants have said 25 per centretail, 25 per cent maritime use, and 50 percent office space would work.Onni claims that public response supports

rezoning (and indeed, I do, but not in favourof Onni’s proposal).And the $2 million plus rental discounts

Onni has thrown in to sweeten the deal forSteveston should make all Stevestonites rollover to have their bellies scratched, right?

I shop for groceries atthe Super Grocer andVeggie King. Do I needNestors? Meh — I haveHerringers and D SausageHaus and Sweet Spot. Do I

need more clothing stores?Meh – I love Treasures Boutique, Dresses

by C, Violet Hill, and Steve’s Boardshop forthe kids. Not to mention on-line shopping,which solves all the needs I can’t meet bywalking into the village.Do I need a bank with a

view? Seriously? I can take my iPhone tothe dock and do my banking online. ButOnni seems very sure of itself: An on-siteconstruction worker informed us last summerthat the concrete work for a bank safe hadalready been laid.Onni wants to create a retail concept that

serves my and my neighbours’ “daily needs.”

Too bad they haven’t asked me. TheSteveston merchants I shop with know me bymy first name; they are my neighbours.Onni’s proposals, if accepted, will

squeeze many of them out of business.Onni’s proposal sees our boardwalk

busy all year round… with SHOPPERS! Iwant the boardwalk busy, too – with peoplewho are strolling along to enjoy the view, ormaybe having a picnic on one of the benchesoverlooking the Fraser River. Never, in anyof Onni’s proposals, has public enjoyment ofthe waterfront location been a priority. Onnicould rescue itself by adding a pleasure craftmarina in front of Imperial Landing.Local interest, as well as the average

income in the area, would support thisproposal. Pleasure craft marine-relatedbusinesses could flourish.Kayaking and stand-up boarding are

already in place, thanks to Kaymaran

Adventure Tours. If city hall swappedthe parking lot across the street from theSteveston Community Centre, for BuildingFive at Imperial Landing, Onni could build tosuit its needs for commercial rental incomeand Steveston Library would have a muchbetter home, with a view, in Building Five.Steveston Community Centre is busting

out of its seams with fitness programs; thevacated library space would provide muchneeded space.I sincerely hope that the boardwalk is not

left to suffer through another season of emptybuildings and uncared-for premises.Surely city hall has more power

than just the “no” word? How about anultimatum? Onni must lease according tocity hall zoning, or let the city and Stevestonmerchants take over the site’s management.Gudrun Heckerott is an active member of

the Steveston community.

The Editor,Re: “Example not to follow,” Column,

May 9.How devastatingly sad for the trees, and

for all who love trees!Mighty trees that have probably lived

longer than most Richmond residents,trees that have given shade and shelterto humans and wildlife alike, trees thathave weathered (no pun intended) wind,rain, hail, snow, and drought for decades,while preventing erosion and flooding allaround them.

And for what....a parking lot extension?Not only is this short-sighted, but adisgrace, a shameful crime against natureand humanity that is supposed to protectnature.This is NOT progress, but a giant and

irreversible step backwards.Why has no one on city council taken

steps to prevent this thoughtless andsurely preventable abortion of nature?

Paulette PoppRichmond Hill, Ont.

Bill 24 will leave us hungryAGRICULTURE

The Editor,Please put a stop to Bill 24.Quality food-growing soil is not being

created anymore, and it would be criminalto remove and pave over any furtheracreage from the ALR.Canadian news this week indicates that

the price of farmland in Saskatchewan andManitoba has increased up to 90 per cent inthe past 10 years.It is common knowledge that China is

purchasing huge acreages of arable land allover the world (Africa, Hungary, southernU.S. etc.) anticipating their future inabilityto feed their own population.Why is B.C. immune to future food-

growing needs?California is anticipating drastic reduction

of their ability to continue growing hugecrops of vegetables/fruit in the central

valley due to repeated droughts.Current food price increases are

reportedly irreversible.These news items, together with the

(incomprehensible non-organic) growth anddensification of housing capacity in B.C.calls for extreme caution in the preservationof arable land.Bill 24 is extremely short-sighted, risky

and uncalled for. “Community planningobjectives” seems a euphemism for“developer planning objectives” and theprofits-before-community attitude is toocommon in B.C. lately.Please act with wisdom, caution, and

foresight for the future population andeconomy of B.C. Please stop Bill 24. Yourstrength in achieving this will be admired.

Tree cull a huge step backward

The Editor,While walking my dog

along No. 2 Road on May 8,I tripped on the sidewalk andfell to the ground.I am handicapped and had

trouble getting up. I lay onthe ground trying to find away to get back on my feetas vehicle after vehicle droveby. Finally, a man namedBerry stopped, crossed theroad and helped me not onlyget on my feet, but took thetime to replace my shoe.I would like to thank

this man for his kindnessand thank the other driverwho offered to help. It issatisfying to know at leastsome people will help whenneeded. Thank you so much.

By Jon KingSpecial to the News

“Family can be a word that includeseverything and anything,” said DannyTaylor. “It can be nuclear, extended,single parent or even blended andmixed.“Ever see the latest Fast & Furious?

It’s about family; they’re not related, butthey’re still family!”Danny Taylor and Jaclyn Chang

gave a presentation last month atMinoru Seniors Centre about family,addiction and mental illness, calledAFamily Check Up, hosted by RichmondAddiction Services Society (RASS).The event was a small workshop,

teaching parents, teachers and othersabout the signs and symptoms ofaddiction, as well as the impact it canhave on a family.The workshop also explored subjects

such as the teen brain, different types ofaddictions, as well as boundaries.“Boundaries need to be clear and

helpful for us and others,” said Taylor.“Families with boundary issues are

more prone to addiction.”The workshop stressed the importance

of balance in boundaries — they

shouldn’t be too weak or too rigid, butthey do need to be clear for our lives tofunction.“If you have a family with clear

boundaries, you reduce the chance ofproblems,” said Chang.The teenage brain was another topic

of discussion at the seminar. It followeda short video of mostly teenage boysthrowing themselves off high structuresinto pools or attempting to jump over amoving car.“Teens get more of a rush from drugs

and drug use. They’re also less sensitiveto the after-effects of drugs, such ashangovers,” said Chang. “They alsodevelop connections through activitiesthey participate in, such as video games,music and art or even drugs, which iswhy we encourage them to take healthyrisks… such as trying out for a playor doing something that may result inrejection.”Addiction is defined by RASS as

having a compulsion, need or irrationaldesire that overrides consequences oftheir actions.How can one be sure they do not have

an addiction? Just practice self control.Wake up one morning and don’t have

coffee or don’t have a beer with thegame, said Taylor.“Ask yourself these questions: Do I

have control? Can I stop?; Or, ask thosequestions of someone who may have anaddiction,” said Taylor.Addictions don’t have to be mind

altering, either. Watching sports, keepingfit and eating can all be addictive, as cansurfing the net, texting or consumingpornography.But why do people engage in his

behaviour? Peer pressure or belongingis a major factor, especially amongteenagers, said Taylor..Many people also choose to self

medicate or use substances to forgettheir problems, even using drugs tosocialize or “have fun” says Chang.“It’s important to note kids are like

sponges: what they see is what theyrespond to.”The vast majority of children who

fall into an addiction do so because ofwhat they see their parents or guardiansdoing, she added.“If you tell a child to be off the

computer at ten o’clock, but then you’reon the computer till two or three in themorning, they notice that stuff.”

Could you skip your morning coffee?ADDICTION

Abrief hot spellfollowed by somecool rain has made

our garden leap into action.The daffodils are finished,

and the tulips are in theirlast days. Both should bedeadheaded, but leave theleaves until they are brownand easy to remove. Theirgreen foliage sends energyback to the bulb for next year.In the veggie patch the

rhubarb is thick and healthy,ready for its first picking.If yours has sent up a seed

head (apparently femaleplants do this early) cut downthe seed stalk and dispose of

it in your compost. You don’twant the plant to put all of itsenergy into producing seedwhen you wish to harvest thestalks themselves.The leaves may be

poisonous to eat, but can besafely put in your compost.Although the most

common way to get a rhubarbplant is to buy a tuber, it ispossible to raise rhubarb

from seed.When we first moved in,

my mother-in-law gave me avery old package of rhubarbseeds. Thinking I had nothingbut a small pot of soil tolose, I planted them and wassurprised when a few weekslater, tiny rhubarb plantsemerged. They did not yieldany edible crop until I thinkthe second year, but I wasso delighted with my weeplants, I didn’t mind waiting.Rhubarb comes in two

different colours of stalks,and most folks prefer the red,though my research has comeup with the fact that theytaste the same. When picking,pick only about one third ofthe plant at one time, givinganother week or so until theplant grows some more. Youdon’t want to totally defoliatethe plant all at one time.It is time now to go and

buy your annuals and doask the nursery owner ifthey have been hardened offand are ready to be plantedoutside. If they haven’t, it

is an easy process of lettingthem have more and moretime outside until they spenda few warmer nights outside.Then plant them and keep

an eye open for their safety— I swear the slugs hear meplant them!Deb Brodie is a local

gardener and a memberof the Richmond GardenClub. She can be reached [email protected]

CONNECTIONSTHATWORK

Mary JordanCHAIR, BOARD OF DIRECTORSVANCOUVER AIRPORT AUTHORITY

Remarkable change, milestone achievementsand robust growth characterized a very busyyear at Vancouver International Airport.

A change in leadership was a majorfocal point for our organization in 2013.It was with great consideration that weconducted a global search for the rightperson to succeed Larry Berg, under whoseleadership YVR earned its internationalreputation for airport excellence.

Craig Richmond assumed the role ofPresident & CEO of Vancouver AirportAuthority on July 1. A mix of experience,skills, education and values amassed overa lifetime in aviation make Craig a greatfit for a great job. With a focus on safety,accountability, innovation and teamwork,Craig continues to shape and enhance YVR’sreputation as North America’s top airport.

That reputation earned an additional boostwhen YVR was named Best Airport in NorthAmerica for the fifth consecutive year by theprestigious Skytrax World Airport Awards, asvoted by almost 13 million global passengers.

More people than ever enjoyed the YVRexperience in 2013, as we welcomed arecord 17.97 million passengers to YVR. Wealso deepened our community connectionsand continued to deliver on our vision tomake YVR the preferred connection pointbetween the Americas and Asia-Pacific.

As more airlines choose to fly to YVR, moreBritish Columbians will benefit – whetherthat means taking a trip to Europe viaIceland, accessing a new market for alocally-made product or visiting Larry BergFlight Path Park for a picnic. Whatever yourconnection with YVR, we strive to continueearning your confidence in us as BritishColumbia’s gateway airport.

The Sochi Winter Olympic Gamessaw remarkable online availabilityof event coverage in Canada

by the CBC. The Mother Corp providednot only its live broadcasts online butalso raw feeds of multiple events and ondemand coverage of tapedcompetitions, all throughapps available on just aboutevery computing platformavailable: Windows and MacPCs, Android phones andtablets, iPhones and iPads,and even Windows Phoneand Blackberry devices.The apps had flaws, but the CBC’s effort

was unprecedented and generated recordonline viewership. It was a great exampleof what unfettered online access to networkbroadcast content can be like.Too bad it lasted only a few weeks.

Post-Sochi, Canadian online viewers havebeen booted off the content podium and areback to the inconsistent, and aggravating,approach by our TV networks to distributetheir shows online.All the major Canadian networks

have apps on some or most of the deviceplatforms out there. And most of theseapps work for some people some of thetime if they have patience and a dash ofsadomasochism. Don’t expect a Netflix-

like experience with any of them.Let’s look at Canada’s four major

English-language broadcasters and the appsthey provide.CBC:Apps available on: Windows 8, iOS,

Android. Video available onthe CBC website.Good: You can watch

Heartland on your Surfaceat Starbucks. The Windows8 and iOS apps seems toinclude all CBC TV shows,including The National, with

back catalogues of previous seasons andcancelled shows. Video quality is good.Bad: The apps are buggy. User

reviews on all the platform app storescomplain about stoppages in play and adsinterrupting shows at the wrong time. Theads are mind-numbingly repetitive and loudand can’t be skipped. Users on the iOS AppStore are hammering the app for recentlybreaking Airplay, which allows users tostream video to an Apple TV. The similarPlay To feature streaming video fromWindows 8 to Xbox has never worked.(I’ve tried.)Offerings across platforms are

inconsistent. The CBC’s TV presence onAndroid is limited to its Hockey Night inCanada app, which is also found on iOS

and with fewer features on Windows.iOS is the only platform with a dedicated

CBC kids TV app. Only Apple users lovetheir children, according to the CBC.Local news shows are absent.Global:Apps available on: Windows 8, iOS and

Android. Videos also available through theGlobal website.Good: You can watch Elementary on

your iPad in the bathroom. Local newsbroadcasts available, albeit in truncatedform and hours after they’ve aired. Livebroadcast stream available (but see below).Bad: Episodes are available for only

seven days after they appear on TV. Onlycable subscribers who log in to the appwith customer credentials have accessto archived episodes. Live streams aresimilarly restricted to cable customers.Users on app stores complain of crashesand login problems. Features like Airplayon iOS and Play To on Windows 8 aredisabled by the app. The ads are loud andludicrously tone deaf to the content theypunctuate and can’t be skipped.CTV:Apps available on: iOS, Android. Videos

available through the CTV website.Good: You can watch The Big Bang

Theory in bed. Live broadcast streamavailable (but see below).

Bad: Episodes are available for onlyseven days after they air on TV. Onlycable subscribers who log in to the appwith customer credentials have accessto previous episodes. Live streams aresimilarly restricted to cable customers.Users on app stores complain of crashesand login problems, including apparentlylocking out non-Bell customers (Bell ownsCTV). Features like Airplay on iOS may ormay not work, according to user reviews.The ads are loud, repetitive and dumb andcan’t be skipped.CityTV:Apps available on: iOS, Android. Videos

available through the CityTV website.Good: You can watch The Mindy Project

curled up in bed. Live broadcast streamavailable of morning and evening newsshows, such as they are.Bad: Episodes are available for only

a limited period of time. Airplay on iOSdisabled by app. Users complain about theapp on app stores. My test on the Androidapp with the How I Met Your Mother finalegave me smooth video but the same dumb,loud ads played repeatedly and could not beskipped. It then crashed half way throughthe episode. Did Ted finally marry Robin?I’ll never know.Barry Link is the editor of the Vancouver

ARTS EDUCATION AWARDThe Arts ConnectionIn 1990, The Arts Connection was founded by Linda Shirleywith the belief that every child has something profound togain from a quality arts education. Originally a home basedmusic studio, the institution has since grown to offer visualand performing arts instruction, Early Learning programsand a Before & After School program that services fourRichmond schools. Last year, inspired by the disparity ineducational opportunities that exist between Richmond’sstudents and those in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, TheArts Connection—with support from the Community ArtsCouncil of Richmond—established “Immersed in the Arts...Reach to Teach”, partnering Grade 7 students from bothneighbourhoods to create together and learn from each other.

BUSINESS AND ARTS AWARDAccent InnsGateway Theatre’s relationship with Chris Browne, GeneralManager at Accent Inns Vancouver Airport, began with the2008–2009 Season when the hotel became the theatre’saccommodation sponsor. Since then, their participation hascontinued to grow to a level where Accent Inns is GatewayTheatre’s largest sponsor, having provided accommodationfor cast and crew for many productions. Through Chris’srelationship with the Rotary Club of Richmond, he hasalso spearheaded a fundraiser at the theatre to benefit theGateway Academy for the Performing Arts which helps keepthe program accessible for families.
