Trio of outdoor markets offer everything under the sun—and moon

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

The sun is out, the skies are clear and the air smells like baked bread, crispy carrots and sizzling squid.

Market season has returned to Richmond

with a trio of mini mercantile metropolises set to open. The International Summer Night Market will begin to welcome visitors tonight (Friday), the Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market is back on Sunday and the Richmond Night Market reappears next week.

An estimated 4,000 people are drawn to Steveston’s streets for its twice-monthly market, whose location in the fishing village helps attract visitors.

“When you meander through the market there’s lots of other things you can do and see,” said Bardia Khaledi, market manager.

“Your visit to the market might be an hour-and-a-half long, and you might listen to the music, but there’s another whole day you canspend just in Steveston.”

Sunday’s open-air market, the eighth an-nual, organized by the Steveston Commu-nity Society, will feature 70 vendors offering a range of local farm products and artisanwares.

New entrants this year include vegan ven-dors such as Vogue Cakes and Vegan Pud-ding Co.

Lawsuit claims deadly crash caused by ‘unintended acceleration’Aston Martin DB9 slammed into vehicles at 220 km/h

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

A B.C. Supreme Court lawsuit filed against the manufacturer of a $200,000 car involved in a fatal May 2013 crash involving eight vehicles on Westminster Highway, claims a phenom-enon known as “unintended acceleration” was at least partly to blame.

As first reported in The Richmond Review last year, sources said an RCMP investigation con-cluded that mechanical failure was to blame in the crash at Westminster Highway and Knight Street, a finding that was not passed on to Transport Canada.

But now the driver of the 2007 Aston Martin DB9, Vancouver’s Jessica Ying Zhu, and a pas-senger in her car, Lili Yang, claim in separate lawsuits that Aston Martin and Ford were neg-ligent.

The lawsuit paints a new picture of what hap-pened on a clear, warm spring afternoon that proved deadly for the passenger in a Mercedes Benz SUV who was stopped for a red light in the westbound lane at the intersection.

Yang’s lawyer, Farzana Mohamed from the Vancouver law firm Mackoff and Company, told The Richmond Review Thursday that a key safety feature that other car manufacturers in-troduced as early as 2000, was missing from the Aston Martin DB9 driven by Zhu.

“Notwithstanding that the DB9 was a high power vehicle, the DB9 was not equipped with a brake-throttle override system, which at all material times was a known safety feature that does, in these circumstances, enable the brake system to overcome the acceleration.”

City contractor repairing centrepiece of popular playground


Pint-sized visitors to a popular Richmond playground willsoon get their treehouse back.

Over the winter vandals ruined the 10-metre tall treehouse at Terra Nova Rural Park by cutting its rope-like safety nettingon three occasions.

The playground centrepiece and its long tube slide have been closed ever since.

Now the city says the structure should reopen before the Maylong weekend next week.

“We worked with the contractor and looked at a variety ofdifferent options,” said Ted Townsend, city spokesperson.

Stainless steel cable railings are being installed on the struc-ture, offering the best combination of vandal-resistance, du-rability and east of maintenance, while still maintaining the character of the treehouse.

Portions of the Terra Nova Adventure Play Environment opened last August before dignitaries cut the ribbon Sept. 27, 2014.

Despite the treehouse closure, families have still been drawn to other elements of the playground, including 35-metre ziplines, an aerial rope walkway, a log jam climbing structureand other features.

Matthew Hoekstra photoBrothers Zac and Joe Prokop slid down the eight-metre-talltreehouse in Terra Nova last September.

Terra Nova treehouse set to reopen

From Page 1While the vehicle was travelling west

on Westminster Highway, the DB9 “sud-denly began to accelerate with wide open throttles. In the ensuing moments...Zhu pumped the DB9’s brake pedal, causing the vacuum-assist power brakes...to fail,” the lawsuit says.

“As a result, the DB9 continued to accel-erate, reaching a speed of approximately 220 km/h before crashing into the rear of a Mercedes SUV...The driver of the SUV was killed on impact.”

Yang, a mortgage broker, spent months in hospital, and suffered numerous inju-ries, including a brain injury, as well as fractures to her arms, legs and ribs, as well as internal injuries, Mohamed said.

Yang has undergone half a dozen sur-geries, with more expected. While she can talk, she walks with difficulty.

Also named as defendants are Visteon and Pi Innovo, which Yang’s lawsuit claims played a part in the design, manufacture, assembly and sale of the DB9’s throttle-by-wire technology.

None of the allegations have been prov-en in court.

Mohamed said it could take two or three years, or more, before this case goes to trial. She noted that most of these cases are settled out of court.

Last year, Richmond Mounties an-nounced that no criminal charges were being recommended in the case.

Sources told The Richmond Review that mechanical failure was the conclusion of a forensic investigation of the crash, but a Freedom of Information request on the police file resulted in limited information that was significantly redacted.

The Review appealed to the Office of Departmental Policy and Access to Infor-mation earlier this year, but has not yet received a response.

The FOI request did reveal that the Aston Martin appeared to be in good working order, and that it had been well

maintained.The Review also revealed early last year

that an automotive journalist in England experienced sudden acceleration in a 2013 Aston Martin DB9. Experts say that the 2013 Aston Martin DB9 is substantially the same as the 2007 model.

Despite having his foot on the brake, veteran automotive journalist Greg Fountain wrote in CAR Magazine that the vehicle’s engine suddenly began revving.

“I pressed the brake harder but the car wouldn’t stop moving,” Fountain wrote for his publication, CAR Magazine (carmaga-zine.co.uk)

According to Transport Canada, there was another case of “engine surge” that in-volved a 2001 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage.

“The complainant in this incident was traveling in stop-and-go traffic when the engine RPM surged suddenly and the ve-hicle lurched forward, hitting the vehicle ahead at a relatively slow speed and caus-ing minimal damage,” Transport Canada

spokesperson Karine Martel wrote in an e-mail last year. “The driver maintains that his foot was on the brake pedal the whole time, just pressing on and off the pedal to allow the vehicle to move forward.”

This type of “engine surge” was not un-heard of, according to Transport Canada.

“While this is believed to be an iso-lated case, the dealer stated this type of incident has been seen before with other V12-engine vehicles. The dealer also stated that in stop-and-go traf-fic, when the brakes are continually applied, the vacuum supply in the brake booster gets depleted, causing the engine speed to increase trying to compensate. It is believed that this compensation, along with the loss of power brakes, may have contributed to the incident above. The dealer has not tried to recreate the incident; however, in a brake-hold test, the brakes suc-cessfully held the vehicle under full throttle.”

Novid Dadmand allegedly befriended victims on social media

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

A man accused by Richmond Mounties of being a serial sex offender, was indicted late last month on eight counts in B.C. Supreme Court.

Novid Dadmand was originally arrested by local police investigators in March of 2014 fol-lowing “an exhaustive investigation into mul-tiple sex-related offences” that dated back to 2008, police said.

After originally being charged with 11 crim-inal code offences, including sexual assault, break and enter, theft and fraud, Dadman was indicted in B.C. Supreme Court on eight counts, including seven for sexual assault and one for breaking and entering.

Dadmand, who was 28 at the time of his ar-rest, was identified as a suspect through simi-lar circumstances in offences that took place in four RCMP jurisdictions: North Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, and Richmond.

Dadmand used social media to befriend his victims, police said last year.

Dadmand identified himself online as a modelling agent and convinced his victims to meet him for a photo shoot in exchange for money and gifts.

Investigators said it was during these meet-ings that the majority of the criminal offenceallegations took place.

Dadmand also went by the alias Robert Peako.

In a press release Wednesday, Richmond RCMP Cpl. Dennis Hwang thanked the me-dia and the public for their assistance in theinvestigation, which Hwang described as “lengthy and complex” and that led to “up-dated charges”.

Accused sex offender indicted on 8 counts

Novid Dadmand is charged with seven counts of sexual assault.

Friedrichshafen, a university city in Southern Germany hosts the annual ‘AERO Friedrichshafen’ a global aviation

show, this year held recently in mid-April. As home to the famous Zeppelin dirigible factory established in the late 19th century, the Maybach aviation company, which became an automobile manufacturer after the First World War, and Dornier Flugzeugwerke, a prominent aircraft manufacturer that in the 1980s was parented by Daimler-Benz, Friedrichshafen is the ideal host city for such an exhibition.

A star exhibitor this year at AERO is Carplane® GmbH, a company co-funded by the EU and the German State of Niedersachsen engaged in developing a fl ying car capable of road travel to and from airstrips and fl ight travel between them. AERO was the fi rst public unveiling of Carplane® as a car. Its maiden fl ight is “tentatively scheduled for later this year.”

Given the history of fl ying cars, skepticism about this iteration abounds. Almost from the time cars and airplanes were fi rst invented designers and inventors have been trying to fuse them. Indeed, the scourge of the Wright Brothers, Glenn Curtiss patented a fl ying car in 1917 and displayed a prototype, the Model 11 Autoplane at an exposition in New York that same year. Th e plane never fl ew and development ended when America entered the First World War.

Inventor Rene Tampier built the Roadable, a car-plane of sorts, for the 1921 Paris Air Salon, fl ew to the exposition and drove around Paris for

two hours—at 15 mph. After the Second World War, redoubled eff orts produced Airphibian, Convaircar, Aerocar, Autoplane, Mizar, and, more recently, Terrafugia Transition, Parajet Skycar and LaBiche Aerospace FSC-1. And some have actually fl own: 300 of the “over 2,000 known fl ying car designs”, according to www.carplane.com.

Today, no commercially produced vehicle bridges “the gap between car and plane travel.” Carplane’s stated goal is to start closing this ‘gap’ by settling “on a design which performs well in both air and road modes” and meets all certifi cation requirements for cars and for airplanes in the Very Light Aircraft (VLA) category (max. 750kgs/1,653lbs.)…[thereby giving] Carplane®’s customers the benefi t of its safety having been [government] tested.”

Th e Carplane design at this stage of development can be likened to an upturned catamaran accommodating two people, each in their own hull. Between the hulls is space for storing and protecting the wings along the length of the vehicle thereby providing the longest possible, unsegmented wing length within the confi nes of a normal car. A patented mechanism deploys the wings in a smoothly integrated process that wholly converts the car to an airplane. Animations of this process are on the Carplane® website.

Carplane’s slogan — “built for reality” boldly conveys that it has fi nally met the engineering and design challenges of the fl ying car. Like the self-driving car, however, overcoming these challenges also raises diffi cult legal, licensing, and insurance issues. Fans of ‘Th e Jetsons’ will recall the aerocars buzzing around Orbit City in neatly ordered bubbles. One wonders if the Jetsons’ producer, Hanna-Barbera off ered any clues about how we get there from here.

Th e Flying Car?

From Page 1The market is also putting a renewed em-

phasis on part of its name—farmers—by in-cluding more local produce, including two sellers from the Richmond Farm School pro-gram who will sell produce grown on Lulu Island.

Other products available this season range from fruit wines of Maan Farms and gluten free baked goods of Marie’s Guilt Free Bakery, to Allen Pearson’s Creative Leather Crafts and canine delights of Rambling Hound Bakery.

Visitors can also expect plenty of entertain-ment from Richmond musicians, possible cooking demonstrations, a kids zone, food trucks and a comfort zone—offering a shaded place for weary market-goers to rest. Commu-nity groups will also be sharing their stories, and Khaledi said non-profit organizations are welcome to apply for a table.

Richmond’s two Asian-themed night markets

are also preparing for their summer seasons. First to open is the International Summer

Night Market, which will again be stationed in a paved area behind Home Depot. The mar-ket features an array of merchandise, food and beverage vendors, along with a kids zone and nightly entertainment.

Next weekend marks the return of the Rich-mond Night Market. Based at Duck Island near River Rock Casino Resort and Bridgeport Sta-tion, visitors to this year’s market can expect to find their favourite foods—from barbecued squid and potato twisters to curry fish balls and bubble waffles—along with merchandise vendors and entertainment.

Organizers also have a few creative ideas to draw people in, including the photo-op-friendly fibreglass sculpture “Throne of Rotato”—a tribute to the market’s fried-pota-to-on-a-stick staple and the popular TV show Game of Thrones.

The International Summer Night Market opens this weekend.

•International Summer Night Market: 12631 Vulcan Way (behind Home Depot); May 8 to Sept. 27; Fridays and Saturdays 6 to 11 p.m., Sundays and holidays 6 to 10 p.m.; free admission and shuttles from Bridgeport Station; parking is free on street, $4 in lots.•Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market: Outside Gulf of Georgia Cannery at Moncton Street and Third Avenue; May 10 to Oct. 25 (on first and third Sunday with the exception of May and extra date of Aug. 30); 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; free admission.•Richmond Night Market: 8351 River Rd. (near River Rock Casino Resort); May 15 to Oct. 12; Fridays and Saturdays 7 p.m. to midnight; Sundays and holidays 7 to 11 p.m.; $2.75 admission (free for under 10 and over 60).

There will be both more and less at the 2015 Richmond Night Market when it opens its doors for the first time on Friday, May 15 at the north end of No. 3 Road next to River Rock Casino Resort. Founder Raymond Cheung has crafted a new pirate theme this year, and brought in more things for young families to see and do, including two colourful pirate ships—one a bouncy castle that kids are welcome to board and plunder, the other a fibreglass ship that will spew both smoke and bubbles—plenty of hidden treasure for kids to find, an expanded food court with more than 100 food booths and a larger games area replete with carnival games. This year’s coupon book offers up to $250 in savings, and costs half of last year’s booklet, at just $2.

Scope and cost of 10-lane span expected by fallby Jeff NagelBlack Press

The B.C. government is a year overdue on its spring 2014 tar-get of unveiling a detailed proj-ect scope and business plan to replace the Massey Tunnel with a new bridge.

But Transportation Minister Todd Stone insists the gov-ernment remains on track to begin construction in 2017 on the new span between Rich-mond and Delta, and associ-ated Highway 99 upgrades, and complete it by 2022.

Premier Christy Clark an-nounced the decision to proceed with the project—as a bridge on the existing alignment—in September 2013, after two rounds of public and stakeholder con-sultation, and said the proj-ect scope and business case would be made public the following spring.

NDP transportation critic Claire Trevena said the fail-ure to deliver a business plan before detailed design work began shows the province’s attitude continues to be “just do it and see what evolves” without solid evidence of what will be useful or cost-effective.

“Is this going to move the traffic problem further north?” she asked. “A real business case should address if this is the best way of deal-ing with that bottleneck.”

Project director Geoff Freer said more time was needed to do more traffic and engi-neering analysis.

The project definition report spelling out the proposed scope is expected to be re-leased this fall, he said, fol-lowed by more consultation.

More work is ongoing but Freer said findings so far con-firm the project team’s intent

to build a new 10-lane bridge, with one of the extra lanes in each direction dedicated for HOV/transit.

Once the project report is tabled along with a cost es-timate, decisions must be made about how to finance the project, whether as is widely assumed it will be tolled, and whether or not it will be a private-public part-nership.

About $53 million is bud-geted over the next two years on project planning.

Soft soil a concernSoft soil in the river delta

is a concern for engineers, so geotechnical drilling has been a major focus of the re-cent work.

Freer said drill holes on each side of the river had to go down through 315 metres of river silt—more than 1,000 feet—to reach glacial gravel, but added that doesn’t nec-essarily mean much higher costs or that pilings will have to be driven down that far.

He expects the Massey proj-ect cost will be “in the same ballpark” as the $3.3-billion Port Mann/Highway 1 proj-ect, but for a bridge with long graded approaches, much like the Alex Fraser Bridge.

Trevena said the potential effect of tolling the Highway 99 crossing must also be weighed.

“How are you going to make sure you don’t see the

same problems we saw at the Port Mann?” she asked, refer-ring to lower-than-expected toll revenue as some drivers choose free crossings.

Freer acknowledged tolls can reduce a bridge’s use butpredicts it won’t be a factor at the Massey crossing.

“Regardless of whether youtoll it or not because there’s somuch congestion it probablywouldn’t change the scope inany way shape or form.”

He also said updated traf-fic estimates confirm that 60 per cent of the traffic through the tunnel is between Surrey, Delta and Richmond and not Vancouver.

Many of the trips endingin Richmond may be goingto Vancouver via the Canada Line, he added.

The Massey Tunnel doesn’tmeet modern earthquake, width or height standards and major repairs to electricaland ventilation systems willbe needed in about 10 years.

If a new Massey Bridge istolled, it’s unclear whethera reformed tolling systemmight be in place in MetroVancouver by the time it opens—area mayors wantto pursue some form of road pricing.

Richmond council has di-rected staff to continue to push the Ministry of Trans-portation to consider localobjectives of preservingfarmland, explore public tran-sit options and plan a bridgewith “iconic” architecture.

Join us for the City of Richmond’s annual series of talks about art in the city and its importance to creating connections between citizens and their communities.

Thursday, May 14 7:00 p.m.

Johanna HurmeARCHITECTURE AGAINST AMBIVALENCE

According to Johanna Hurme, founding partner of Winnipeg’s internationally acclaimed 5468796 architecture, we cannot afford to litter our world with mediocre and disposable architecture. We need to recognize that the difference between the good and the bad is long-term vision, intelligence and care—not the price tag. By presenting a series of case studies, projects and processes, Johanna will demonstrate how design can provide answers to problems far greater than the task at hand, and how by thinking beyond the ordinary we all can help create an undeniably better world.

This talk will be preceded by a short performance by flamenco guitarist, Baraa Safaa.

tI have a challenge for you. For two weeks, if you need

to buy groceries or decide to eat out, try doing it all by using public transportation. I’m calling this the Food Security Transit Challenge.

The reason I’m issuing this challenge is to remind people that the deadline to vote in Metro Vancouver’s Transit and Transporta-tion Referendum is fast approaching. Remember those mail-in ballots that you were sent in March? Now’s the time to fi ll them out and send them in if you haven’t already.

There has been much

debate over the merits of the transit plan, but one thing is clear. If you want to improve food security for your community, then you should support the plan for better public transpor-tation.

Debates over issues like this tend to focus on the raw numbers, like the budget, tax rates, con-struction dates and other details. This is all good, because we need to take a hard look at such things to make sure the plan is sound, but crunching numbers tends to make the debate too abstract. When that happens, it’s easy to forget how the lack of good transit options actually aff ects people on a day to day basis.

To fi x that, let’s do a walkthrough of what it’s like get your food by transit. This is the Food Security Challenge that many people in the Lower Mainland face all the time. I can speak about this with authority because it did it myself for most of my adult life because I didn’t have a car. It’s only when I moved to Richmond some years ago that I got one. Before that, it was public transit for everything.

Ok, so let’s say I’m at

home, and I have nothing to eat in my house. That means I either have to eat out, or go shop for food to cook at home. Unfortu-nately, I happen to live in a ‘food desert’. That means I don’t have any food stores (or restaurants) close by, which is a more common problem than you might think. The nearest place is a 7-11 that is almost two kilometers away. The near-est grocery store (of any size, let alone something as big as a Safeway) is even further than that.

Good thing I’m able-bodied, so if I have to, I’m capable of making the walk to the nearest store and hauling my groceries back. But if I was elderly or disabled, I’m out of luck. I would have two choices – get food delivered (which is an option that is too expensive for most) or hop on public transit. Of course, that’s assuming that there is even a transit route nearby.

But let’s say there is. So you go out to wait for the bus. And wait. And wait. Sure you can call the Trans-Link number to see when the next bus is supposed to arrive, but that’s in an ideal world. My local bus route, the 410, runs all the

way to New Westminster, and the buses often get stuck on the frequently congested Queensborugh Bridge, so delays are com-mon. Sure would be nice if there was some plan to fi x this sort of congestion, right?

So your bus fi nally ar-rives and you’re off to the Safeway. Not so fast. Not everyone is going to get all the food they need from one place. If you have specifi c health or cultural dietary needs, like if you need gluten-free foods or eat only kosher foods, you may have to haul yourself all over the city. And when you’re done shopping? Now comes the hard part. Getting home while lug-ging heavy bags of grocer-ies, on buses or Skytrain cars that are likely crowded to the roof.

All of this is quite diffi cult,

and takes a ton of time, but it’s the only option for a great many people. They have no choice but to do it because they have to eat.

I know there are a great many other issues about the transit referendum I haven’t talked about, but I just don’t have the space here for that. All I can do is highlight how the lack of adequate public trans-portation is an immediate food security challenge that will only get worse in the Lower Mainland if we don’t act. The region is already so expensive to live in that many people won’t be able to afford cars, so they will have no choice but to use public transit.

However, if you are still undecided about how to vote in the Transit and Transportation Referen-dum, then take the Food Security Transit Challenge for two weeks. It will be an eye-opener, trust me. Once you have, you’ll know how to vote. Final voting for the referendum is May 29, so make you voice heard.

Editor:I recently took a walk in Minoru Park and

was shocked to see how overgrown the plants were.

There were weeds everywhere. Grass was not cut , plants dead.

Minoru Park used to be the gem of Rich-mond, always well-maintained and beauti-ful. The park today is a mess and a disgrace.

I wrote to the parks board last year about the same problem. Yet there is still a

problem.I am a Richmond taxpayer and know

that Richmond has no shortage of funds and is even receiving record amounts of revenue from the River Rock Casino. There is no financial reason that the park is not being maintained properly.

I would like to know why we are letting our most beautiful park fall into ruin.

Editor:There appears to be a rising level of

concern over the trend in property develop-ment in Richmond. This is well founded as it appears that in traditional family neigh-bourhoods with quiet, tree-lined streets, comfortable homes are being torn down and replaced with monster dwellings. Questions are being raised as to how this transforma-tion can be allowed to take place .

It appears that it is a clever money laun-dering scheme whereby funds of dubious origin are involved in the initial purchase of a family home only to have the land redevel-oped in a matter of days. There is no need for occupancy as the owner remains offshore while their money is being cleansed .

It would be interesting to know the true residential addresses of the true owners of these monster houses. Richmond City Hall is turning a blind eye to this develop-ment and simply continue to issue building permits . Three-storey development has become the norm. A classic example of a monster dwelling is a development near Steveston Highway and the West Dike, bor-dering on Harold Steve's farm. Viewed from the dike it appears to be the makings of a drive-in cinema with a giant screen. People walking the dike stare at this development as much as they watch the cows grazing nearby.

Editor:While the Mayors’ Council have spent an

obscene amount of money to promote their ill conceived transit tax they have been lack-ing in any new or innovative approaches to the funding of transit. While most taxpay-ers don’t mind paying their share, they are already paying a transit tax on gasoline and a multitude of other services.

The Mayors Council has hitched its dreams on the .05% PST increase—why haven’t they looked at some of the existing shortfalls, inequitable government financing and a more business approach to the problem, ie. - the number one taxpayers’ concern is that transit riders pay their fares. Translink contin-ues to use the 3 - 4% fare evasion backed up by some ‘expert’ from UBC or SFU. Why not ask those on the front lines daily—the bus drivers—they will tell you on some lines it is closer to 20 to 25%. The Broadway B-Line is referred to as the ‘Free Line’ by the drivers.

Gregor Robertson wants a Yes vote so he can have TransLink spend a billion dollars for a “free-line subway’. Has the Council looked at Translinks file of the B.C. Bus Pass Program where the government pays $45 per year per pass. How many thousands are there and is $45 a reasonable amount where TransLink is getting less than $4 a month and the average fare is $2.75 each. Is it proper where this $45 pass is being used by a 15 year old to go to a private school in Vancouver and the pass belongs to her grandmother? The bus drivers used to confiscate misuse but two years ago Coast Mountain adopted the ‘Educate” rather than the previous ‘Enforce”

program.Why has the Mayors’ Council not spoken up

about the gross inequity where the taxpay-ers in the Lower mainland have to pay for highways and bridges but in the rest of the province funding is from general revenue. Not a peep from this group and then they added in ‘local municipal roads” so now someone in Port Moody would be paying towards upgrading a local road in Surrey. What a sweet deal.

There have been several in depth articles about new mini-cities to be build in Van-couver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Surrey and Richmond. The articles and subsequent promotional ads for new developments promote “steps to skytrain” “no need to own a car” and the building is sold out before the ground is broken.

These condo units normally sell for $40,000 to $50,000 over the market value due to their location adjacent to skytrain so with the presale and premium prices, the financ-ing for the development is an easy task with an attractive rate.

Assess a tax on all new units within a two or three block radius of SkyTrain.

The articles on the new ‘mini-cities’ indicate a projected development of a minimum of 10,000 new units and a tax of $10,000 per unit would generate $100 million dollars for Translink

Vote No and tell the Mayors’ Council to take a business approach instead of their tax and spend program they are promoting.

Next Steveston Folk Guild show promises to be full of pip, vim and vigour


They’re people who study an area of the arts superficially, according to Oxford, and for these dilettantes that area is honky tonk.

The Steveston Folk Guild welcomes the Honky-Tonk Dilettantes to the Chinese bunkhouse stage at Britannia Shipyards this month, and the show promises to be full of pip, vim and vigour.

This bluegrass power-trio sings songs of sin and salvation, with Woody Bell “Jr.” on mandolin,

Lorraine “Lordy Mama” Cobb on guitar and Paula “Sparky” Spurr on upright bass. All three are comfortable with vocal duties.

Spurr has been a DJ on the radio, a VJ on TV and is an actress on stage and screens small and large. A veteran of Vancouver’s vibrant indie mu-sic scene, she has performed both as a solo artist and in groups—including a memorable night opening for Nirvana.

Cobb has lent her soaring voice and driving guitar to the Mountain Bluebirds, Viper Cen-tral, and the popular string band Shout! White! Dragon! She also plays a mean honky tonk fiddle.

Bell, according to his bio, has spent too much time listening to old records to have done much else.

The Honky-Tonk Dilettantes play Thursday, May 21 at Britannia Shipyards, 5180 Westwater Dr. Tickets, $10, at the door.

Showtime is 7:30 p.m.

The Honky-Tonk Dilettantes are Lorraine “Lordy Mama” Cobb, Woody Bell “Jr.” and Paula “Sparky” Spurr. Theband plays Steveston May 21.

Natural gas has been transported by pipeline across British Columbia safely and efficiently for more than 50 years. It is piped into homes and offices across the province and used for heating and cooking. New pipelines will be crucial to the development of B.C.’s LNG industry, but right from the start pipeline companies will consult with and engage First Nations, local communities and other stakeholders to ensure that they are aware of the project and understand what is involved.

The BC LNG Alliance is the voice of British Columbia’s new LNG export industry. Our mission is to foster the growth of a safe, environmentally responsible and globally competitive LNG industry in British Columbia and Canada.

The 22nd Ethel Tibbits Women of Distinction Awards

Rob Newell photoBarbara Goodwin (right) with emcee Elana Gold of The Richmond Review (left) and daughters Lisa Roberts and Michele Cupit .

Barbara Goodwin grew up in a family of volunteers and started volunteering when

she was 12 for the local community centre in Steveston.

As a young woman, she helped her mother-in-law cut bandages for the wounded for the Red Cross.

She hasn’t stopped volunteering since.On Monday, Barbara Goodwin got

a standing ovation at the Ethel Tibbits Women of Distinction Awards after be-ing named winner of the 2015 Pioneer Award.

“Thank you very, very much. I’m so touched and very humbled,” she said. “I guess my passion definitely is in the hos-pital,” she said of her volunteer work. “The other day somebody said to me, ‘Where are you going now?’ I said I’m going to my second home.”

That second home is 7000 Westminster Highway—Richmond Hospital.

Goodwin played a key role in bringing a hospital to serve Richmond residents. She helped rally to build Richmond Hospital in the early 1960s, driving se-niors to the referendum to vote to have Richmond Hospital built. She was there to break ground for Richmond Hospital, which officially opened in 1966.

Goodwin was the founding member of the Richmond Hospital Auxiliary for 23 years and initiated the hospital thrift store in Steveston in 1974.

Other volunteer roles Goodwin has tak-en include: director for Richmond Caring Place for 9 years; director for Richmond Community Foundation for 4 years; president of Fundraising for Rosewood Manor for 8 years; and Salmon Festival co-ordinator for Steveston Community Society for 15 years.

For the last three years, Goodwin has supported Richmond Hospital Founda-tion with her time and dedication as

one of Richmond Hospital Foundation’s Board of Directors.

Goodwin has served as the event chair for Richmond Hospital Foundation’s Starlight Gala and she sits on the events committee for the Foundation’s Golf Tournament.

Goodwin’s work in rallying to build Richmond Hospital and her work as a founding member of the Richmond Hos-pital Auxiliary has helped ensure that the community’s health care needs are met.

Thanks to her leadership, Richmond residents have and will continue to have access to a broad spectrum of health care services right here in their community.

Her volunteer work has helped many other areas in the community, including seniors care, non-profits, and arts and culture.

As part of a group, Goodwin helped make it possible for Richmond to have a

hospital in the community. She helped set the stage for the auxiliary to continue to raise funds for local health care needs, investing thousands of hours of time to establish the Auxiliary Thrift Store in Steveston.

Today, as a board member and volun-teer for Richmond Hospital Foundation, the success of Richmond Hospital Foun-dation’s fundraising events would not be possible without her help and the help of other committee members. Her leader-ship as a board member is fundamental to our fundraising success.

Goodwin saw a great need for local health care services and she rallied sup-port to build Richmond Hospital, which has served the community since 1966. Because of her work, the community can rely on Richmond Hospital to take care of their health care needs, whenever they may need it.

2015 Ethels Scholarship winner

The winner of the 2015 Ethel Tibbits Scholarship is Annie Hung, who will be graduating from Richmond Continuing Education’s early childhood education program in June, which prepares students to work in daycare centres and pre-schools.

She has been accepted to Delta’s Continuing Education department to further her studies to obtain a Delta teacher assistant certificate, and will begin her studies this Septem-ber, with her $500 scholarship paying part of her tuition.

Created in 1973, Chimo currently serves more than 10,000 people each year from varied cultural backgrounds, age groups, family lifestyles and economic situations.

Today, their role is to help prevent tragedies and save lives, to strengthen individuals, families and communities, to connect people with needed community resources and to build bridges.

Operating under the leadership of nine board members, Chi-mo’s 30 staff and some 200 volunteers reflect a range of cultural backgrounds and life experiences, and together speak more than a dozen different languages.

Youth Award winner Sasha Johal.

Sasha Johal is a humble, hard-working student

whose community in-volvement has helped chart her path in life.

Six years ago Johal attend-ed a WE Day youth empow-erment event, organized by Free the Children, which proved to have a profound impact on her future.

Winning the 2015 Youth

Award at the Ethel Tibbits Women of Distinction Awards, the Cambie student offered plenty of thanks in accepting the prize, including to all the inspiring women she met at the event, and high school teachers who have helped open doors for her.

Following her WE Day ex-perience, Johal took part in numerous fundraisers, and last year travelled to Bagad, India with Free the Children.

For three weeks she was immersed in daily life with Indian children and their families from remote rural communities. She learned of their struggles surround-ing rape culture, feminism, male gender superiority and poverty. The experience launched her into action: she led a presentation about the trip to 70 leadership stu-dents and founded a club, Feminism is for Everyone.

Youth Award Sasha Johal launched Feminism is for Everyone

Currently studying at the Uni-versity of B.C., she has lived in Richmond since she was seven and graduated from the incentive academic enrichment program at R.C. Palmer Secondary School.

Her list of accomplishments is long and diverse.

From serving as the co-vice president of her high school’s student council in her Grade 11 year, to becoming president in Grade 12, to earning a UROC award for her outstanding work in high school, her extra curricular activity has extended beyond the school.

She was one of the youngest members of the Coast Capital Savings Richmond youth team and was selected by Port Metro Vancouver’s Leadership Program.

Anne GuoA well-rounded student who believes deeply in making

her school and community better, Anne Guo has managed to bal-ance academics with athletics and volunteerism.

She’s active in student council and peer tutoring, writes for the school’s newspaper, captained her school’s volleyball team, and for the past couple of years has mentored elementary school aged girls in the after-school Hey Girlfriend program.

Carolyn HartSince taking on the volunteer role of president

at Richmond Minor Hockey in 2014, Carolyn Hart has poured her heart and sole into the job while raising a family and working. She’s improved or implemented many events and initiatives over the first 15 months of her presi-dency, including the Food Bank Drive, and the One-Ice Mentorship Program, as well as the Skate to Great Drive, in which she helped collect used skates for disadvantaged children. She’s served as the catalyst for diversity changes at the association, including adding Rules of Hockey in Chinese.

Outside of hockey, she’s also served as board

chair of Gingerbread House Parent Participation Preschool and McKinney school’s PAC.

Tina KengThere’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work that

it takes to keep players and coaches organized on their sports teams. Hugh Boyd Secondary’s Tina Keng is one of those special people, who has a selfless, hard-working attitude that makes her a pleasure to work alongside. As a manager for football and basketball coaches, she is among the youth whose work often goes unnoticed in the high school setting, where academic achieve-ment and athletic standouts attract most of the spotlight.

Nominees

Traci Costa said her children’s clothing com-

pany, Richmond-based Peekaboo Beans, is on a mission to bring play back—in a world that puts increasingly less

importance on play.“Canada is suffering a

play deficit, with children spending, on average, seven-and-a-half hours on media time a day. Today is a small victory for play, so thank you,” said Costa, in accepting the 2015 Busi-

ness Award at the Ethel Tibbits Women of Distinc-tion Awards.

Costa founded her com-pany shortly after becom-ing a mother and expe-riencing fussy children’s clothing first-hand.

Over the past eight years under her leadership, the

company’s annual sales have grown from $200,000 to $5 million. In addition to being the founder of Peekaboo Beans, Costa is a director for Playground Builders, a charity that builds playgrounds for children in wartorn areas.

Costa offered thanks to her team, family and friends who continue to support her. “I dedicate this award to Ethel Tibbits, who was a voice for people who didn’t have one, and that included my father and his family.”

Eva SunAs CEO and president of The Rice People, Eva Sun

has been in the rice business since 1984 and today her company’s clients include grocery chains, independent

retailers and food manufacturers in both the mainstream and ethnic marketplaces.

Originally from Taiwan, Eva came to Canada in 1976 and helped her father manage gro-cery stores, before establishing her own rice business and be-coming known as the Rice Lady. She’s actively involved in the

industry, providing mentorship, support, inspiration and practical solutions for others in the food industry. Beyond her business, Eva is committed to community involvement and supports many charitable and philan-thropic events.

Shatha DawoodAfter moving to Canada with

her husband and two children in 1994, and armed with an accounting diploma, Shatha Dawood felt a calling to work in a field where she could share her joy with others.

The first step in her journey was learning English, and she soon found herself working at Raymond Hair Today at Lansdowne Centre, where after three years as an assistant hair dresser, she found her true passion in hair styling.

In 2004, she and a partner open Creme de la Creme hair salon at Lansdowne Centre, and in April opened her own hair salon, Mom Amie Hair Salon, at Tiffany Plaza.

Said her nominator: “Shatha is a determined, passion-ate and warm-hearted person who takes pride in mak-ing the people around her feel good.”

Ethel Tibbits Women of Distinction Awards, Silver founded Panther Cheer Athletics with Stephanie Kennedy to share her passion for cheer. Specifically, she wanted all children in Richmond to have the same positive experi-ence she did growing up with a sport that got her out of the house and kept her out of trouble.

ther Cheer on a path of community involve-ment to foster empathy and social responsi-bility in all of Panther Cheer’s athletes.

Erin EnsorErin Ensor has changed the lives of hundreds of dancers

over the past 30 years at her studio Danceability.A dedicated teacher whose passion is sharing her knowl-

edge and love of dance, she fosters that same love in those who set foot in her classroom.

One of her former students credits Erin with nurturing her love for dance to the point that she reached the national level and is today a dance instructor too.

“In addition to being a patient, knowledgeable teacher, Erin constant-

ly goes above and beyond to help her students. Although Erin is a remarkable teacher, what makes her truly special is the environment she creates in the studio,” that former student said.

One parent couldn’t say enough kind words about Erin.“She has shaped them into the young ladies that they are

now and whom they shall grow into in the future.”

Dawn EwenDawn Ewen has served as an inspiration to the hundreds of

students she’s worked with at the Gateway Academy since 2004.

She is a lead choreographer and dance instructor who has taught more than 800 students at the Gateway, and many more through the Canadian School of Ballet and Encore Musical Theatre Group.

She has shown she is willing to go above and beyond the call of her posi-tion and instills in her students an ex-pectation of high standards, confidence and pride in their work.

Dawn’s natural tendency to step up and get involved was displayed when she stepped into the Academy’s administra-tive position in the winter of 2011 and the summer of 2012 when there was no academy manager.

Said one parent: “Dawn’s talent, enthusiasm and dedication are apparent. Dawn has an amazing ability to take all these things on with remarkable grace and professionalism.”

Nominees

Twenty-five years ago, Patricia Rolston an-swered a help-wanted advertisement in The Richmond Review to head up the Richmond

Music School.Rolston is still there today. It’s a testament to Rolston’s commitment to nurturing Rich-

mond’s youth and inspiring young musicians. Honoured with the 2015 Arts Award at the Ethel Tibbits Women of Distinction Awards, Rolston said it’s been a long journey.

“I’m still there. Still trying. It is my hope I will follow in the footsteps and have the same verve and feistiness as Ethel Tib-bits did.”

At the helm of the Richmond Music School since 1990, Rolston and her team of internationally-trained teachers, ju-nior teachers and student apprentice features help foster a love of music in some 350 students each year.

A renowned concert pianist and sought-after piano teacher, Rolston has guided countless students to top marks on their Royal Conservatory Music exams, propelling them to greater things.

Neena Randhawa has had a pro-found impact on

the growth of Chimo Community Services, particularly in outreach services.

Her Richmond career in social services began at the agency’s Nova House, a safe shelter for women and their children fl eeing violence. Her volunteer work there led to a position as a women’s sup-port worker at Chimo.

Randhawa, awarded the 2015 Community Professional Award at the Ethel Tibbits Women of Distinction Awards, said she’s truly honoured and humbled just to be nomi-nated.

“I’m fortunate, with God’s blessing, to have a family and friends who support the work I do,” she said.

In her role as an outreach worker with Chimo, Rand-hawa has been a passionate advocate for women, helping low-income clients obtain le-

gal advice, assisting newcom-ers with settlement services and providing temporary housing by partnering with local developers such as Clive Alladin.

Randhawa said she feels blessed to have a platform and workplace like Chimo, but said it’s sad that every day there are more women who can’t fi nd housing. Next up

for Randhawa is beginning a program aimed at teaching young women how to stand up for themselves—and hopefully avoid abusive relationships.

Jocelyn WongJocelyn Wong exemplifi es community leadership in her

role as general manager at Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives, formerly known as Volunteer Richmond.

Jocelyn was instrumental in the development of the Youth Now program, now in its 10th year of encouraging, training and em-powering young leaders in the community. Described as excep-tional, articulate, and confi dent, Jocelyn has been an active part of the Richmond community since 1999, when she provided crisis line

counselling serves at Chimo.She also served as vice president and board member

at Touchstone Family Association, was past president of the B.C. Alliance of Information and Referral Services, and was a City of Richmond appointed committee member of the Richmond Intercultural Advisory Committee.

Lisa YasuiA teacher at Richmond High, Lisa Yasui is described by

her peers as an inspirational, thoughtful, hardworking, true leader who is a dynamo when it comes to support-ing students, advocating on their behalf, and serving as a staff leader in professional devel-opment and community building.

A graduate of the same school where she now teaches, Lisa brings with her an infectious level of energy that students respond to, which shows in the commitment her students have and the apprecia-tion they show for her hard work and dedication.

Said her nominator: “What makes Lisa very special is her high energy, her commitment, her caring, her humour, her dedication, and her ability to glue together disparate parts of a working team, whether this happens to be an actual sports team or the staff at Richmond High.”

We are, each of us, angels with only one wing, and we can only

fly be embracing one another. The words from Luciano De Cres-

cenzo were spoken by Richmond’s Lois Bouchard in accepting the 2015 Community-Volunteer Award at the Ethel Tibbits Women of Distinction Awards

“I know these words are true. For 30 years I’ve been surrounded by

hundreds of angels, as we dream and work together to bring better lives to children in British Columbia in foster care,” she said.

Bouchard founded B.C.’s SOS Chil-dren’s Village with her husband Gilles. It’s a place that provides a stable, long-term home for children in foster care.

SOS Village has five family homes on land in Surrey, but its heart is in Richmond.

“It was founded in Richmond, established in Surrey, but remains

hugely supported by Richmond donors and volunteer activities today,” said Bouchard.

Bouchard and her husband dedicated themselves to making a difference in foster care children after learning of the plight of a 15-year-old girl from Richmond, who moved through three foster care homes in the span of six months.

At 19, the girl was handed a $400 cheque from the government and left to her own devices.

Amanda BostikSince the summer of 2012, Amanda Bostik has been

working diligently to fundraise for the construction of a playground for children with all abilities, including her

daughter Gemma, who was born with a rare neuromuscular disorder in February of 2010.

Today, after nearly three years of hardwork, that included raising nearly $45,000 through a wide array of fundraisers, the accessible playground next to King George Park is complete.

Now a mother of two, Amanda still finds the time to volunteer in the community, creat-ing and maintaining the Richmond Toy Swap Facebook site, where some 1,700-plus members buy, sell and swap their children’s gently used toys. She also volunteers at B.C. Children’s Hospital.

Mary ScottRetired nurse Mary Scott has dedicated herself to

bettering the lives of women through a wide range of volunteer initiatives.

For the past seven years, she’s been taking blood pressure readings during local seniors wellness clinics, including at the East Richmond Community Association where her excellent communication skills and expertise have served the community well.

Mary is diligent in keeping records up to date, and enjoys lis-tening to an assortment of seniors health and life issues.

“During her time with us, she has suggested at least three separate times that someone go to his or her doctor or even the hospital and all these occasions were proven to be justified and neces-sary,” her nominator wrote.

Barbara WilliamsSince moving to Richmond in the mid-1970s, Barbara Wil-

liams has immersed herself in the community as a volunteer.Currently serving as the chair of the Friends of the Rich-

mond Archives, Barbara has also served on the execu-tives of the Textile Arts Group, the Community Arts Council, London Farm Society, Richmond Inde-pendent Living Society, and the Richmond Museum Society. Barbara retired as manager of the furniture department at Eatons Pacific Centre 17 years ago, where she was the first woman to manager a furniture department at Eatons.

Said her nominator: “Barbara is one of those volunteers who comes to a job prepared with energy, innovative solutions, a positive attitude, and a wish to contribute to her adopted community.”

Theatre giving students opportunity to experience music and culture

by Erin BoeContributor

More than 500 elementary students filled the Gateway Theatre earlier this week to experience traditional West African culture, as part of a two-week event called Music in Our Schools.

The culture experience is one of many performances and concerts that will give more than 2,000 students a chance to experience live music and to perform using their own talents in Richmond’s own professional theatrethanks to a partnership between Gateway Theatre and the Richmond School District.

On Wednesday, elementary students from Blundell, General Currie, Gilmore, Ferris, Homma, Manoah Steves and Quilchena Elementary went to see a West African ensemble called Masabo, a group of African musicians, dancers and storytellers who have shared their culture with children and youth across West Africa, Norway and Canada and are sharing the beauty and energy of tradi-tional West African culture.

Music in our Schools also has five evening concerts at the Gateway Theatre during the first two weeks in May that feature local secondary and elementary bands.

On May 14, another 500 students from Blair, Cook, General Currie, McKinney, and Spul’u’kwuks elementary schools alongside students from MacNeill secondary will watch Project Soul, a crew of street dancers from Van-couver that have come together to share their passions with each other and with as many communities as they can, and to inspire one soul at a time through the art of street dance.

This show will open with a special performance by the MacNeill Secondary Dance Crew.

arts & entertainmentRichmond, get ready for love ballads

April Wine will be in Rich-mond this weekend for a sold-out show at River Rock Show Theatre.

It all began in Halifax, Nova Scotia back in late 1969. The Henman brothers, David and Ritchie, together with their cousin Jim Henman and fellow musician Myles Goodwyn, got together and formed a band.

Today, 16 studio albums later, April Wine remains popular with hits like “You Could Have Been A Lady,” “Tonight is A Wonder-ful Time to Fall in Love,” “I Wouldn’t Want to Lose Your Love,” “Sign of the Gypsy Queen,” “Anything Thing You Want, You Got It” and “Enough is Enough.”

Goodwyn continues to lead the group on tour of North America, playing a mix of straight ahead rock ‘n’ roll and power ballads—an April Wine mainstay. Also in the current lineup is guitar-ist Brian Greenway, bassist Richard Lanthier and drum-mer Roy “Nip” Nichol.

April Wine’s May 9 concert begins at 8 p.m. inside the River Road casino.

Neil Sedaka performs Sunday

Neil Sedaka’s parents had a hard time accepting their Juilliard-educated musical prodigy wanted to play rock ‘n’ roll. But once the royalty cheques started rolling in, Sedaka has said, they under-stood.

At age 76, Sedaka—a man with a music career that spans the generations—is still playing concerts, and he’ll perform one in Rich-mond Sunday.

Sedaka catapulted into stardom after singer Connie Francis recorded his song “Stupid Cupid” in 1958. Others soon scored hits with his songs. Once he signed a contract with RCA as a writer and a performer of his own material, Sedaka released chart-toppers he’d become famous for: “The Diary,” “Oh! Carol,” “Calendar Girl,” “Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen” and “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do.”

In the ‘60s he took a break from recording and wrote songs for several artists, including Tom Jones, Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra. In the ‘70s he reemerged as a solo artist. His 1962 song “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do” was re-released as a ballad in 1975 making music his-tory when it charted at No. 1—becoming the first song recorded in two different versions by the same artist to top the charts.

His May 10 show begins at 8 p.m. at River Rock Show Theatre. Tickets, $69.50 to $79.50, at ticketmaster.ca and 1-855-985-5000.

Writers read works at open mic event

Experienced and nov-ice creative writers are encouraged to share their works at an open mic event in Richmond May 20.

Richmond Writes Out Loud! at Richmond Public Library’s Ironwood branch is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Writ-ers are invited to share their own creative works and get feedback from published authors. Every-one is welcome—includ-ing listeners.

Admission to the Wednesday event is free. The Ironwood branch is located at 8200-11688 Steveston Hwy.

RichCity Idol returns with more talent

The show begins at 7 p.m. on the MainStage. Early bird general admission tickets are $12, available at the Gateway Box Office (gatewaytheatre.com and 604-270-1812) or $15 after May 20.

You know that line from Alfred, Lord Tennyson

that goes: “In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.” Well, what about us women? When spring comes, the only place my

thoughts go is this: it’s time to do some spring cleaning and give this place a facelift. What better way to give your home a makeover than by switching things up.

Home for Now by Joanna Thornhill is a charming book with loads of ideas and beautiful photographs for decorating every room, including your yard. Whether you’re a crafter wanting ideas for a creative workspace; a work-at-home type who needs to figure out a more space efficient yet attractive design for your home office; some-one looking for a fun but practical piece of furniture to hold towels and bath accessories; or a DIYer who likes re-painting old fur-niture, this book contains a plethora of cool ideas. The author seems to aim at smaller spaces like apart-ments and starter homes, but most of the ideas could be transferred to larger homes.

Design Bloggers at Home: Fresh Interiors Inspiration from Leading Online Trend-Setters by Ellie Tennant isn’t really a how-to book, but rather a look at how design mavens decorate their own homes. With chapters like “Pared Back”, “Rustic”, “Retro Chic”, “Homespun”, and “Colour Fun” the reader gets to see a variety of beautiful styles that she/he can copy. Because let’s face it, that’s why we’re read-ing these books, right? But you’d better like tchotchkes (which I do) because this book is full of them. My favourite takeaway is the old wooden library card catalogue that someone’s

transformed into a space to hold small plants, keys, loose change or anything else. The designs definitely tend towards the funky andartistic, so if that’s not your style, then this might not be the book for you.

If colour is your thing, then check out A Color-ful Home by Susan Hable. Organized by colour rather than room, readers can seehow particular colours can influence the feel or mood of a room. Whether colour is used as an accent or it’s the focal point of a space will affect the overall atmosphere of it. If you’re into colour psychology you’ll have a field day with this book. It’s not really for the how-to decorator; it’s more of an inspiration book.

Sarah Style by Sarah Richardson, the star of TV’s Sarah’s House and Sarah 101offers loads of practical tips for decorating and renovat-ing your home. Showcasinga variety of high-end styles and designs, this book is geared to decorators with deep pockets and expen-sive tastes. The stunning, lush photos will have you wishing you won the lot-tery.

There’s something at the library for every kind of home decorator, from funky garage sale devotees to extravagant George V antique collectors to DIY. But why take my word for it? Come check them out for yourself.

Johns making smooth transition from pool to deck

Richmond’s Brian Johns was recently inducted into the University of B.C. Sports Hall of Fame as a key contributor to a dominating Thunderbirds swim program.

For a brief time, Brian Johns flirted with the idea of a

fourth Olympic Games. But it was a fleeting thought, as he soon re-alized trying to bounce back from knee sur-gery and swim at the level he expected or needed to would be a futile exercise.

So at 29, only months prior to the 2012 London Summer Games, Johns hung up his racing cap and contently moved on to the next chapter in his life.

Armed with a master’s degree in coaching science from the University of B.C., he launched a coaching ca-reer which has proven to be as stellar if not rewarding as his athletic career.

At 31, Johns is now a val-ued member of the coach-ing staff at UBC and the Dolphins swim club. One of his prize pupils is Luke Reilly, an 18-year-old who also happens to hail from Richmond and just happens to be chasing Johns’ long-standing Canadian 400-me-tre individual medley short course record of four minutes, 02.72 seconds set at the 2003 Canadian Inter-university Championships and then long course mark of 4:11.41 established at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

Not surprisingly, Reilly speaks highly of his mentor. He’s looked up to Johns since he began his com-petitive swim career and was overwhelmed when he found himself being coached by one of his idols.

But as the angst waned, Reilly began to soak up the sage advice being offered by Johns, and the pair have formed a strong bond.

Drawing from his own considerable experience, Johns has also helped Reilly better prepare for big events which should serve Reilly well as his career —whih will include compet-ing at the 2015 Pan Ameri-can Games this summer in Toronto—forges ahead.

Johns’ own athletic career was indeed a decorated

one. The Hugh McRoberts Secondary School grad had a dominating youth career before enrolling at UBC in 2000 and joining the uni-versity swim team. He was fresh off his first appearance in the Olympics in Sydney, Australia where he placed 15th overall in the 200-me-tre individual medley and helped the Canadian men’s 4x200 freestyle relay team to a seventh-place finish.

Johns played a key role in the Thunderbirds capturing national titles in 2001, 2002 (when he was named the Canadian university male athlete of the year) and 2003 before taking a hiatus from his studies to focus on swimming. He competed at the 2004 Olympics in Athens before returning to UBC and helping the ‘Birds win two more national titles before making his final Olympic appearance in Bei-jing in 2008 when he made finals in the 400 I.M.

Throughout his entire ath-letic career, and today as a coach, Johns has remained remarkably humble. Even more reason to appreciate his past achievements and continuing contributions to sport.

He is the epitome of what a true role model should look like, and a well-de-served member of the UBC Sports Hall of Fame.

Baseball is a lot like the story of the tortus and hare. It’s not how you start the race, it’s how you finish.

While the youth ball season in nowhere near the extended marathon that is Major League Baseball, it’s still a pretty challenging schedule that stretches from early April through late July.

Richmond City Midget AAA Chuckers’ man-ager Raul Verde Rios is well aware of the ups an downs of the long season. And particularly aware how much more pronounced they tend

to be at the youth level.So as the Chuckers head to Aldergrove this

weekend for a doublehader, and then return there a few days later to paricipate in an invi-tational tournament, Verde Rios has reason to be optimistic as the season unfolds.

Though they dropped both ends of a double-header to Cloverdale last weekend, the Chuck-ers still have seven wins through their first 11 BC Baseball league games. And one of the set-backs in Cloverdale was by a single run.

Richmond’s record is, in fact, good enough to put the team atop the BC Baseball standings, though Ridge Meadows and Kamloops are hot on their heels, That should set things up

nicely when Kamloops is scheduled to visit the Chuckers for a pair of games May 24 at Latrace Field. That will follow another doubleheader versus Vernon the previous day, also at Latrace Field.

“I couldn’t be happier to start the season with this record,” Verde Rios says. “We’re enjoying the moment but there’s a lot of baseball to come. We need to get prepared for the ups and downs of the season which is a long ways from finished.”

While the wins speak for themselves, Verde Rios was especially impressed by what he ob-served in a recent home win over Nanaimo. The Chuckers came back to win the first game and

took over the second with their plate prowess.“The intensity they show when needed” is

what he likes most about the boys’ play to date.But, predictably, there are areas he’s pushing

them to improve. Defence for starters.“A lot of players are playing positions that

they are not comfortable with, but with prac-tice will get there. I like to see that players are willing to work hard,” he says.

While Verde Rios says it’s early to pinpoint anyparticular strength, he is encouraged by thepitching staff’s ability to throw good innings, and the overall hitting.

“So we will continue to strengthen those ar-eas and work on our weaknesses,” he says.

Celebrating the Year of Sport in Canada, The Richmond Review’s Sportsperson of the Year award was dedicated to all who con-

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENTOPM

Once again it was a sell-out celebration as 350 of Metro Vancouver’s top builders, reno-

vators, designers and industry experts gathered to celebrate the Annual Ova-tion awards on April 25, 2015.

Now in its sixth year, the Ovation Awards showcases the industry’s diver-sity, innovation, and sheer creativity, so it came as no surprise that the mood was distinctly upbeat at the Marriot Vancouver Pinnacle Hotel in downtown Vancouver.

Total entries were up an astonish-ing 77 per cent over last year, a clear reflection of both the health of the area’s residential construction industry and the increasing brand recognition of these awards.

“The Ovation brand is a symbol consumers can trust and should look for when building or renovating their home,” said Bob de Wit, CEO of the

Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ As-sociation, the association behind the Ovation Awards. De Wit was also de-lighted by this year’s addition of a new category : Excellence in Technological Innovation in Residential Construc-tion.

Finalists represented a balanced cross-section of well-established en-trants and up-and-coming companies with vision. Winners represented the best of the best among this committed group of industry leaders.

And the Winners Are…After a strong showing at the Georgie

Awards in February, Naikoon Contract-ing Ltd. was the evening’s top winner, taking home a total of seven Ovation Awards including Excellence in Innova-tion and Sustainability in New Resi-dential Construction, plus the Grand Ovation Award for Custom Homes

Construction Award went to Graytek Solutions Ltd. with associate Teragon Developments & Construction Inc. for The Mayfair. The Mayfair also garnered Teragon three gold Ovation Awards for Best Renovated Room, Best Outdoor Living Space, as well as the coveted People’s Choice Award.

Relative newcomer Shakespeare Homes & Renovations Inc. added two more awards to their list of acco-lades winning in the Best Renovation: $500,000 - $799,999 and Best Kitchen Renovation: $100,000 and Over. Best Accessible Renovation went to Reid Developments Ltd. for Eton. And Best Heritage Renovation was awarded to Sasen Renovations for Queens in Burnaby.

For a complete list of the 2015 Ovation Awards winners, visit ovationawards.ca.

Builder of the Year. Midori Uchi, Nai-koon’s ultra-energy-efficient home with rammed earth wall garnered four of the company’s seven wins.

Hot on Naikoon’s heels was longtime awards participant My House Design/Build Team Ltd. with six awards, in-cluding BC Housing’s Award for Excel-lence in Creating Affordable Housing Choices and the Grand Ovation Award for Renovator of the Year: Large Vol-ume. Silver Lining won in two catego-ries – Best Addition and Best Exterior Renovation.

Eclectic Industrial, a fun ‘n’ funky loft renovation that highlighted brick and wood finishings plus stainless steel detailing by Beyond Beige Interior Design got the nod in three categories including Best Townhouse/Condomini-um Renovation: $200,000 and Over.

Players Kim Cho and Kaitlyn Eng were both unable to makethe trip.

Islanders rock IslandThe Richmond Islanders

03B rep girls’ softball team made big waves on Vancou-ver Island last weekend.

With solid pitching and hitting throughout, coupled with steady defensive play in both the infield and out-field, they won the eight-team Brentwood Bay un-

der-12 tournament Sunday with a 9-6 final-game vic-tory over Cloverdale Fury.

Playing with only one sub, Richmond earlier posted playoff wins over Duncan (5-0) and Strawberry Vale (17-0), after rolling through the round-robin where they defeated Cloverdale Fury

10-4, Strawberry Vale 15-3 and Central Saanich 15-3 to finish atop the standings with a cumulative 40 runs scored and 10 allowed. Af-ter playoffs, the cumulative total was 71-16.

The Islanders are coached by Angie Hill and Michelle Akizuki.

Richmond’s 03B girls’ softball team wins rep tournament

Richmond Islanders 01B rep girls’ softball team (Brianna Baignee, Alex Borbely, Hannah Collins,Kate Dee, Autaum Hilyer, Tjammie Ko, Jaimie Muller, Asha Pannu, Jessica Ryan, Megan Saez Co,Izy Wick and coaches Greg Dee, Jeff Collins and Betson Saez Co) dominated a 13-team invitational tournament in North Delta last weekend.

Isles mine gold in North DeltaDemonstrating consistent dominance,

Richmond Islanders 01B capped the 13-team North Delta invitational girls’ soft-ball tournament Sunday by blanking Co-quitlam Classic 7-0 in the final.

The game was called after five inning when the mercy rule was invoked.

Richmond took a quick 2-0 lead in the contest, highlighted by two stolen bases by Kate Dee and RBIs by Tjammie Ko and Izy Wick. Then in the top of the fourth, and the result still in doubt, Alex Borbely made a grat catch on a fly ball to right field with a Classic runner on third base.

With momentum on their side, the Is-landers added another run on the bottom of the inning highlighted by a triple by

Megan Saez Co. And in the bottom of the fifth they put the game away scoring four runs highlighted by Jessica Ryan’s two-run homer and capped off by Asha Pannu’s RBI single to right field to score Saez Co.

Strong pitching, solid defence and relent-less hitting and base running allowed the Islanders to overwhelm their opponents. They went 4-0 in round-robin play by top-ping Coquitlam Classics 14-0, North Shore Stars 8-3, Nanaimo Diamonds 14-5 andCloverdale Fury 11-4 which allowed themto get the first seed entering the playoff rounds. Richmond then scored a 13-0 quarter-final playoff win over North DeltaSunfire before topping the Richmond Is-landers 01/02 team by a 14-2 count.
