School still on for international students Teachers protest summer camp that’s been moved to a private school by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

Matthew Hoekstra photo Shari and Terry Akesson live near an area of South Arm Community Park slated for a 1,400-square-metre off-leash area, which they say will ruin the peaceful nature of the park.

Residents urge city to call off dogs Petition against impending dog park spreads through South Arm neighbourhood by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A promised off-leash area at South Arm Community Park has some neighbourhood residents barking mad. Giving new meaning to the dog days of summer, city officials are creating four new fenced fields for fidos, including a 1,400-square-metre site behind the tennis courts at the Broadmoor-area park. But neighbours—feeling cheated they weren’t consulted first—are signing a

petition against it. “The designated area is absolutely nonsense. It is the only open field that we have in South Arm Park,” said Eve Rollet de Darantes, an area resident since 1971. “I’m going to look down on this fenced-in park, having barking dogs.” The longtime resident, who also fought against artificial turf at South Arm, is proposing alternate sites away from homes. She vows to step up protests if the city doesn’t back down. Neighbour Shari Akesson called the lack of consultation “frustrating.” “We just don’t think this is the right location,” she said. “This is one of the last quiet parks.” Husband Terry Akesson said what is now a grassy area is used by many for

passive recreation will soon become an “unsightly mess” and force residents to fight for limited street parking with dog owners. “I agree it’s equal rights for everybody, I just wonder why we have to put a big off-leash park in the middle of a longestablished quiet and peaceful park.” Council approved the off-leash area June 9, along with others at Garden City Community Park, McCallan Neighbourhood Park (along the Railway corridor) and an empty lot at 7300 Elmbridge Way. All four are pilot projects, subject to review after a year. Fences are scheduled to go up in the next couple of weeks, according to the city. See Page 3

International students headed to class in Richmond this week, despite Richmond School District’s cancellation of summer school for all other students. The teachers’ ongoing labour dispute forced the district to cancel summer programs last week, but a non-credit program for international students is going ahead on neutral ground. Hosted this year at Richmond Christian School’s No. 5 Road campus, the program is a summer camp for foreign students of various ages. Students learn English, attend field trips and learn about Canada and Richmond, according to Richmond school board chair Donna Sargent. “They choose to come in the summer just to get to know Richmond a bit more, see what it’s like, see if they might be interested in the full-time international program, which happens in September.” Two three-week programs are offered at $1,875 each, according to the district’s website. District officials decided against cancelling the program last week, having already made agreements with parents. Sargent said some students had already arrived. “They have paid, they are here. So what do you do?” A call to the Richmond Teachers’ Association was not returned by press time, but B.C. Teachers’ Federation members protested outside Richmond Christian School Monday, as contract talks between the union and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association have stalled. Last week a B.C. Supreme Court justice concluded this week that teachers and government are too far apart on wages and working conditions for mediation to be effective. Sargent said both union and non-union teachers are leading the summer camps, but added unionized employees are working under a contract that isn’t linked to the current labour dispute. “The whole situation is very challenging,” she said. “We want labour peace, we want both parties at the table bargaining in good faith, and we want them to come up with a reasonable settlement, and we want it to happen as soon as possible.”

Richmond First to run five for council Civic slate unveils candidates, who include a retired cop and business leader

Richmond First candidates •Council: x-Bill McNulty, xLinda McPhail, x-Derek Dang, Andy Hobbs, Elsa Wong •School board: x-Donna Sargent, x-Debbie Tablotney, x-Eric Yung, Kevin Lloyd Lainchbury, Peter Liu x- incumbent

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Elsa Wong and Andy Hobbs will join political veterans Bill McNulty, Derek Dang and Linda McPhail on the Richmond First council slate, organizers announced Tuesday. Richmond First Voters Society unveiled its candidates for city council and school board in front of a shoulder-to-shoulder crowd at Shiang Garden Seafood Restaurant, becoming the first civic group to take the wraps off election plans before the Nov. 15 vote. Organizer and former longtime councillor Kiichi Kumagai, who estimated the crowd at over 1,000, held court for a brief press conference introducing the incumbents and political hopefuls. Wong, 52, is a business consultant and an eight-year president of the Canada Asia Pacific Business Association. Hobbs, 56, is a retired Vancouver Police Department executive who served six years on school board—with his last term ending in 2008. “Richmond is my home, I grew up here, and have chosen to remain here and raise our children here,”

said Hobbs, a Richmond High grad. “I have something to give back.” Pledging to work on lower taxes and public safety, Wong, who emigrated from Hong Kong in 1992, said: “So many people encouraged me to run.” The pair will be joined by incumbents McNulty, Dang and McPhail on the council ballot.

In keeping with past elections, the society isn’t running a mayoral candidate—no one expressed interest, according to organizers—but is putting five names on the ballot for school board. Incumbents Donna Sargent, Debbie Tablotney and Eric Yung will run alongside newcomers Kevin Lloyd Lainchbury and Peter Liu.

Not returning to the Richmond First fold this year is Coun. Ken Johnston, who abandoned the group a few months ago. Johnston said he left on good terms, and has decided to “go in a different direction” by running either as an independent or with the newly-formed Richmond Community Coalition. Richmond First Voters Society ran

four candidates for council and four for school board in 2011. All were elected. McNulty topped the polls in 2011, with running mates McPhail and Dang right behind him. McNulty called the slate diverse, and said his 12-year-old political group is working to bridge communities and encourage civic participation—a message the new rival group Richmond Community Coalition is also sending. “It’s composed of experience and new people, to get the flavour of the community, and I think we reached out to the community to get that,” he said. “Richmond First continues to reach out to the community and has always tried to encourage voter turnout.” On Nov. 15, voters will elect one mayor, eight councillors and seven trustees. Candidates must file nomination papers between Sept. 30 and Oct. 10.

Stockwell Day to speak City says there’s demand at town hall meeting for more off-leash areas A newly-formed political group is bringing former federal cabinet minister Stockwell Day to its first town hall meeting next week. The Richmond Community Coalition is encouraging local residents to share their “local priorities,” as well as ideas to boost voter turnout and participation in civic politics. In the 2011 civic election, just 23.7 per cent of registered voters in Richmond cast ballots. The town hall meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 15 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Richmond Cultural Centre’s Performance Hall, 7700 Minoru Gate. Day was elected nine times over 25 years ats an Albertan MLA and a British Columbian MP. He was leader of the Canadian Alliance Party, the predecessor of the Conservative Party. After winning reelection in 2008, he was appointed minister of

Stockwell Day will speak about boosting voter turnout at a town hall meeting in Richmond July 15.

International Trade and minister for the AsiaPacific Gateway and regional minister for B.C. Day did not seek re-election in 2011. The Richmond Community Coalition

launched last month as a “dedicated group of Richmond community activists,” but has yet to announce its list of candidates for the Nov. 15 vote. —Matthew Hoekstra

From Page 1 Another fenced off-leash area, at Dover Park, is being removed after feedback from area residents suggested it had limited popularity. Bob Lauriente, a South Arm area resident for 35 years, said the location is “crazy,” and will disrupt one of the few passive areas of the park. He suggested a location near Williams Road would be better. “A lot of us have lived here for a long time, and used that park for a long time, and we were allowed no input at all.” City spokesperson Ted Townsend said there’s demand from dog owners for more spaces to let their pets off-leash. Dog parks are also aimed at managing the problem of off-leash dogs elsewhere. “South Arm is one area where we did have issues with dogs running off leash. This will hopefully help to mitigate that issue in a way that is best for all,” he said. Townsend also said the city consulted with the community association on the appropriate site, adding staff will be closely monitoring the pilot program and listening to the community. At last month’s meeting, city councillors spoke in favour of the new areas. Coun. Ken Johnston said pets

have a positive effect on human health, and off-leash areas are important for dogs. He cited a study from Australia, where an estimated $1 billion is saved annually in health care costs due to pet ownership. “I’m really happy that Richmond’s taking this approach,” he said. “I spend a lot of time in the Steveston (off-leash park), and it’s a great social interaction, on top of everything else.” Coun. Evelina Halsey-Brandt also

spoke about the health benefits pets can provide their owners. “I think it’s really important that we recognize that people who live in these very dense areas own dogs. They need to bring those dogs out to be able to socialize and have an area where they can take them off leash. That’s really healthy for the animals, and I think it’s healthy for the owners too.” Richmond has approximately 5,200 licensed dogs, according to the city.

by Jeff Nagel Black Press Unionized container truckers say the province and Port Metro Vancouver haven’t done enough to crack down on rate undercutting within their industry since a deal ended a 28-day strike this spring. New minimum rates were supposed to be enforced—complaints would be investigated by the province and then the port could suspend or even ban offending companies from access to the container terminals. Unifor spokesman Gavin McGarrigle said the province promised to enact legislation in the fall to do its part, but the union’s members feel that may not come fast enough. “It could erupt very quickly into another dispute,” McGarrigle said of the simmering tensions. Unionized drivers’ jobs are at risk because their companies are losing work to cut-rate non-union trucking firms that don’t abide by the minimum rates, he said. “If we have a company with 50 trucks and all of a sudden 20 of us aren’t going to be working because someone isn’t playing by the terms of the action plan, are we suppposed to just sit and wait at home while the province has its summer vacation?” He said minimum rates agreed in the strike settlement were to have been in effect within 30 days of the return to work in March. “Here we are 100-plus days out and they haven’t taken the necessary measures to backstop the action plan to make it binding,” McGarrigle said. Port Metro Vancouver spokesman John ParkerJervis said the port has set up a whistleblower line where container truckers can lodge complaints on matters from rate undercutting to excessive waits at port terminals. The line has been in place four weeks and has received more than 100 complaints so far. Parker-Jervis said there haven’t been any licence suspensions yet but a number of investigations are ongoing. He said the port has made substantial progress

on completing the Joint Action Plan that ended the strike. Completed measures

include the opening of terminals at night to reduce congestion and installation of GPS units

in all trucks to improve efficiency and so drivers can be compensated for unreasonable waits.

Ricky He, an air cadet from 692 BCIT Aerospace Squadron in Richmond, was appointed Camp Warrant Officer, 1st Class (WO1), becoming the highest ranking cadet at Albert Head Cadet Summer Training Centre. The 18-year old will lead more than a thousand air cadets attending the summer camp in Metchosin until Aug. 16. Four of past six Camp Warrant Officers have been from Richmond. “The Cadet Program is designed for youth, and led by youth,” said WO1 He, a first year UBC student. “It’s self-sustainable—we get a lot of guidance from adults, but the cadets often become those adults (giving back to the Program). Cadets can change teenagers’ lives.” WO1 He was awarded his position after he and 78 other senior air cadets underwent a rigorous, five-day selection process, which included detailed assessments of their leadership abilities, instructional skills, as well as dress and deportment. Canadian Armed Force officers interviewed the top 10 cadets, and then made the decision as to who was to be Camp WO1. This summer is WO1 He’s final summer with the Cadet Program as a cadet, as he will turn 19 in December. There are nearly 500 air cadets in Richmond spread throughout three squadrons: 609 Steveston Squadron, 655 Richmond Squadron, and 692 BCIT Aerospace Squadron. Over 200 air cadets are with 692 BCIT Aerospace Squadron alone, which parades at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. There are just over 3600 air cadets in B.C. The Cadet Program is a national program for young Canadians aged 12 to 18 who are interested in participating in a variety of fun, challenging and rewarding activities while learning about the sea, army and air activities of the Canadian Armed Forces. Cadets make valuable contributions to Canadian society on a daily basis in terms of environmental, citizenship and community activities. Cadets also learn valuable life and work skills such as teamwork, leadership and citizenship.

The prime minister chose an odd day for four federal byelections — Monday, June 30. Voting day came in the midst of what was, for many, a four-day long weekend. It also occurred on the eve of Canada Day. Two of the byelections were in the Toronto area, and two were in Alberta. Turnout in all four was very low, much lower than in a federal election. One race in Alberta attracted just a 15 percent turnout — lower than in Langley municipal elections. The highest turnout, about 33 per

cent, was in downtown Toronto’s Trinity-Spadina byelection, where Liberal Adam Vaughan handily won the seat that had been held by Olivia Chow of the NDP, widow of the late Jack Layton. Chow is running for mayor of Toronto. The seat was competitive and is considered a bellwether for the Liberals in urban Ontario. Justin Trudeau’s leadership of the federal Liberals clearly resonates with the downtown Toronto mood. One should not read too much into

the byelection results, considering the low voter turnout. However, the Liberals fared very well, winning the two Toronto seats comfortably and placing second in the two Alberta races behind the Conservatives. Trudeau’s leadership has clearly helped keep Liberal supporters within the fold, and the party should do well in Ontario in the next federal election. That province may in fact be its strongest area of support, given that the provincial Liberals, who are much more closely allied to their

federal namesakes in Ontario than in B.C., recently won a majority government there. The Conservatives have a good chance to retain government in the October, 2015 federal election — if the Liberal and NDP vote remains split. The NDP should do well in Quebec, but their ability to retain status as the official opposition may be in question, given that the Liberals seem to be building a significant amount of momentum. —Black Press

few weeks before the landmark decision declaring aboriginal title proven by the Tsilhqot’in Nation, I picked up a used university textbook that looked like a handy reference. Geography in British Columbia: People and Landscapes in Transition, by Brett McGillivray (UBC Press, Second Edition) is a good reference, except where it strays from geography into politics. This 2005 edition came out not long before the B.C. Treaty Commission started producing agreements, notably with the Tsawwassen First Nation. It recounts the establishment of the Ministry of Native Affairs by the Bill Vander Zalm government in 1990, and the election the next year of Mike Harcourt’s NDP, who reversed the province’s historical legal position and tried to accept the existence of aboriginal title. At this point the textbook departs from the facts and leads its freshman pupils into left-wing dogma. McGillivray writes: “When the Liberal Party won the 2001 election (with all but two seats), it launched a province-wide referendum on treaty negotiations, prompting commentators to suggest the government was ‘trying

Former premier Mike Harcourt changed the province’s legal position to recognize aboriginal title in the early 1990s, before Gordon Campbell’s government held a referendum on the terms of treaty settlements.

to impose 19th century ideas on a 21st century problem’.” “Commentators” in the above quote is of course only one commentator, veteran lefty Vancouver columnist Stephen Hume. This quote was indeed representative of the media consensus at the time. On TV, aboriginal leaders burned their ballots while denouncing the referendum as racist and divisive. The public, and later university students, were taught that Gordon Campbell’s government was exploiting racism for political gain. In fact, this referendum was one of a long series of efforts to untangle the legal knot left by Canada and B.C.’s failure to complete historical treaties after 1900.

Seven of the eight questions in the 2002 referendum were simply to confirm the existing position of B.C. treaty negotiators. The purpose, then as now, was to settle treaties. The first question asked if private land should be exempt from expropriation for treaty settlements. Private property rights are not so much a 19th century idea as a 17th century one, defined in 1690 by John Locke. What remains true today is that no society has made significant social and environmental progress without individual property rights. See the woeful state of most of Canada’s communally owned aboriginal reserves, where individually owned property isn’t permitted. The Tsilhqot’in dropped

claims of property held by non-aboriginal residents from their appeal to the highest court, a wise move considering that pushing people from their homes would lead to violent confrontations. Other referendum questions related to preserving public access to Crown land for hunting, fishing and park use. All were endorsed. The only new question asked if aboriginal selfgovernment “should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia.” Arguably, that’s what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial jurisdiction over public forest policy on environmental and fire protection on aboriginal title lands. By 2009, frustrated with a lack of progress, due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as inconsistent leadership from aboriginal communities, the Campbell government tried to cut the knot. Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form of aboriginal title across the province, based on 30 historical “indigenous nations.” That idea originated not with the province but with the First Nations Leadership Council. It was rejected by a broader group of aboriginal leaders later that year. The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002 referendum, is sharing land use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues. The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to come. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Richmond’s lack of concern over community planning Editor: Re: “Too many monstrosities,” Arny Abramson, and “Another new neighbourhood may soon be destroyed,” Ralph and Edith Turner, Letters, July 4. Having written many letters over the years decrying the utter lack of concern that the City of Richmond has shown in regards to making well-informed, educated decisions about building codes, intelligent community planning, and the devolution of our neighbourhoods, I only regret that other letter writers did not join me years ago in voicing their displeasure at what has happened to Richmond. Much irreparable damage has already been done to our residential and commercial neighbourhoods because our mayor, city council, and various city departments have clearly demonstrated that they are far more concerned about satisfying the needs and wants of developers, part-time residents, and wealthy off-shore investors than those of long-time, permanent, lower and middle class, and elderly residents. On the one hand, empty, over-sized pseudo-mansions dominate our streets while young Canadian couples are forced to move further afield because they can no longer afford to buy a detached house in Richmond. When my family moved to Richmond in the late 1950s we knew all of our neighbours, commonly held neighbourhood parties and played sports together, and always looked out for each other. Now we either have empty houses and no neighbours, or people in the new houses that make

it clear they do not want to have anything to do with us. And, as I have stated several times before, Richmond is now viewed widely as a prime example of how not to plan a viable, vibrant, inclusive community. Mr. Abramson and the Turners will learn what I have over the years: don’t expect your

concerns to be addressed with any degree of interest because there is, and always has been, a distinct attitude of “If you don’t like what is happening why don’t you just move!” that emanates from the offices in city hall. When the next election comes around perhaps Mr. Abramson, the Turners,

and many more will join me in reminding Richmond’s citizens that while we cannot undo the damage that has already been done we do at least have the power to change the makeup of Richmond’s governing body. Better late than never! Ray Arnold Richmond

The Fireplace Warehouse provides egg-ceptional grilling Outdoor gas barbecues are traditionally treated like socks. After a few good years of use, you toss them out and buy a new one. But with stainless steel barbecues ranging in price from $400 to $1,200 or more, that can be a pricey proposition. But the team at Savannah Heating Products, at 10011091 Bridgeport Rd., just east of Shell, is convinced once locals sample what the Big Green Egg grill is capable of creating, they won’t ever turn back. From smoking steaks to tender perfection, to baking pizzas to delightful crustiness, to grilling up succulent burgers, flakey fish or roasting poultry, the Egg excels at being versatile. And since it uses natural lump charcoal, which produces little ash, it can add a great range of different flavours to foods— depending on the choice of smoking chips—minus the chemical aftertaste. Made of space-age ceramics developed specifically for it, the

Big Green Egg is designed to keep the moisture and flavours locked inside whatever’s on the menu. And it’s built to last, with a limited lifetime warranty, with a special glaze designed to retain its good looks, and easily wipes clean. And since you’ll be keeping it for a lifetime, it won’t clog the waste stream like traditional metal propane grills. And as far as clean-up goes, the heat burns up any grease build-up, and it’s ready to be used in as little as 10 minutes. With a reputation as the world’s best smoker and grill earned since 1974, the Big Green Egg is also an oven capable of baking bread, pizza, cookies, cakes and even pies much more quickly than a kitchen oven. It’s only limited by one’s imagination. And with an entire catalogue filled with Eggcessories, each can be tailor-made to suit each individual’s unique taste and preference.

wages paid to retired teachers. If anyone actually asked the school district about their decisions, the government dollar bogeyman would be their automatic answer. With enrolment and the number of teachers decreasing annually, has anyone asked if school district staff has been reduced? Looking at other unnecessary expenses, has anyone asked their local school district the make up of their teachers on call list—the old boys and girls network is alive and well with many retired teachers on the list whose hourly rate is two to three times higher than a new teacher. A newer teacher on call is paid an hourly rate based on Pay

Level 1 while a retired teacher’s hourly rate is based on Pay Level 4, which is 2 to 3 times higher. Retired teachers don’t work because of need, but because of greed. New teachers find it very difficult to get employment. Principals have their ‘buddy list’ who get the jobs. We hear of the ongoing problem for more and more ESL teachers. We should be addressing the problem as to why children born in our cities show up to register for Kindergarten or Grade 1 and can’t speak English. Start charging for ESL and the problem would disappear within two to three years. If it is “all about the kids” isn’t it about time that the BCTF, the teachers, the school districts, the school boards, the government and the media took a look at how the education funds are being spent and what changes could be made to maximize the use of these dollars instead of the tiresome bleating of “we need more money” as the beleaguered taxpayer is getting taxed out. Ron Hyde Richmond

Teacher strives to make learning fun

Editor: The ongoing B.C. Teachers Federation dispute and repetitive media interviews with teachers and parents is getting tiresome. No one has reminded the teachers that government funding for education is given to their local school districts, which are overseen by their local elected school boards. When we hear teachers lamenting the firing or lack of teachers’ aides, it is their local school districts that make these decisions, not Christy Clark with a ball point pen deciding who is getting laid off or fired. The BCTF, the teachers and the media have given the school districts a free ride, yet they are the ones that make the decisions about the number of teachers, aides, funds, etc. Remember a month ago Vancouver Board of Education chair Patti Bacchus lamenting she was canceling the music groups dues to a $600,000 fund needed to keep them going. Yet two years ago, there was an article about the $16 million dollars the Vancouver School Board wasted on the high teacher on call

Editor: Identifying which teacher is the best I’ve ever had is an easy task. Although I had a high array of options to choose from, Mr. J. Knight, a Grade 6/7 Teacher at Samuel Brighouse Elementary, is definitely the best teacher I have ever had. Most people would define a teacher as a person that seeks for their students to excel academically. This is almost right. My teacher is like that, but he cares about you more. He cares about your problems and insecurities. He has the ability to interest a classroom of thirty teenagers. Most of all, he strives to make your learning experience as enjoyable as possible. This teacher is Mr.

Knight and he has made my last two years in elementary a wonderful time. He cares about you greatly. He would help you with any extracurricular problems and assist you anytime you need help. Throughout the school year, he would let us share what we did during the weekends and express our lives outside of school. This has made school not as boring for all of us. It takes an abundant amount of effort to maintain a class of 30. Many teachers have a hard time doing this, but Mr. Knight managed it easily. He knew he had authority in the classroom, and we knew that too, but he had his compassionate side. His great organization skills help him fit in the best activities

for us to do and help us learn as much as we can in the short time we have at school. Mr. Knight would implement extras and offer incentives. At first I was reluctant, but I slowly started receiving bonus marks, which boosted my grades immensely. Now, I tend to do more on all of my assignments, whether or not Mr. Knight suggested it. I have learned that he has done this not only to boost me up, but also to prepare me for my academic future. Mr. Knight has made my school year the best I could ever have had. He would encourage me to learn as much as I could and say that it would benefit me later on. He was always hard on us, but it was done to push us to our fullest

extent and for us to learn the most we possibly can in our short time in school. Turning my bad grades into outstanding grades in a year should make Mr. Knight the most influential teacher I have ever had. My grades were inferior the first year with Mr. Knight, but he improved me slightly every term and now I have one of the highest standings in the class. I would like to thank Mr. Knight for being such a great teacher in the two years he has taught me. Thank you for providing not only me, but also everyone else in the class with extremely practical advice and amazing unforgettable memories. Chris Wong Richmond

GARDEN CITY DUCT BANK PROJECT Where: Garden City Road, between Cambie Road and Alderbridge Way (Southbound Lane) Start: Early July Anticipated Completion: Early September Working Hours: 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Monday to Friday 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Saturday

PLEASE BE ADVISED OF TRAFFIC DISRUPTIONS IN YOUR AREA: To meet the demand for electricity and improved reliability, BC Hydro will be constructing a new, 800 metre underground duct bank in your area.

Richmond Junior Chuckers continue to test the old ticker of their enthusiastic manager Serj Sangara. For the sixth time already this season, the B.C. Minor Baseball League team found itself in a one-run ball game Sunday at Blundell Field. Fortunately for everyone’s sake, they found a way to complete a dramatic 9-8 victory over visiting Chilliwack Braves with three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning. The Chuckers were also involved in yet another game that ended in a tie when no winner could be found before darkness set in. Closer Keenan Samson Kapp picked up the win with four shutout innings, after Richmond trailed 8-4 after five innings. Tyler Hass delivered the walk-off single to end the game, but it was “team hitting” that got the team back in position to win, said Sangara. “Unfortunately, that’s been few and far between this season as four of those one-run

games resulted in losses,” said Sangara, whose team has but three league wins to show for its efforts thus far. “Hopefully with the opening of the new batting cages at Blundell, the team can get back to working on some basic fun-

In accordance with a work schedule that has been reviewed and approved by the City of Richmond, crews will typically be on site from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday to Friday and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. In addition, due to the location of this project, some work will need to be completed at night in order to avoid significant traffic impacts.

damentals required to win those ball games.” Sangara points to the May long weekend tournament win at the Tsawwassen Grand Slam Invitational as the highlight of the season, though a 2-0 loss to the Midget AAAs in the annual alumni game at Nat Bailey Stadium last month also deservers consideration. “But we think the best is yet to come, providing the team stdicks to its intended goals,” said the ever-optimistic Sangara. “With a good finishing run over the last half, we can still reach our goal of competing in the Tier 1 playoffs in mid-August.” Vancouver Blue Jays are up next, visiting Blundell Park tonight at 6 p.m. •Despite the Chuckers’ inconsistency, Nawid Niyaz continues to give the team outstanding pitching as the go-to starter. Samson Kapp has also been solid as the go-to closer, while solid middle relief from several others has also been encouraging. Samson Kapp along with Brandon Kirk, Austin Nikolai and Byron Prasad are the go-to players offensively.

B But hea alt lth has improved forr se fo eiz zed Rottweilers, who h ve each lost between 10 hav a d 15 pounds and by Ja b acq queliine Langen and Ma artin n van den Hemel Bllack k Pre ess

A bid to o h av ve two Rottweilers released frrom dogg gy death row was denied by a Richm mond d pro ov in n cii al court judge, who ruled last w week k he e d id d n’t t have jurisdiction to hear the m matte er.

City lawyer Kevin Westell argued before Judge Dennis Schmidt that the court didn’t have the power to grant an interim release of the dogs before a scheduled hearing on April 10 at Richmond provincial court. Fearing for the welfare of their pets, after learning they hadn’t been walked in months and had ballooned in weight, owner Nav Nijjer and his mother Prabjot Nijjer sought to have the court intervene and release the dogs prior to the court hearing. But it wasn’t all bad news for the Nijjer family, who have seen a significant improvement in the health of their pets, Axel and Paris. They appear to have lost between 10 and 15 pounds each in the past couple of weeks, are being walked daily, and are out in the yard

for a few hours each day, according to lawyer Joe Peschisolido, whose fi firm has been hired by the family after the City of Richmond applied to have the dogs destroyed. The Richmond Review revealed two weeks ago that volunteers and staff ff at the Richmond Animal Protection Society were barred from walking the seized dogs, which have been labelled as dangerous by the city. A society policy had prohibited anyone from walking dangerous dogs, which under normal circumstances would have been seized for a maximum of 21 days. Since they were seized on Oct. 25, following a minor biting incident involving a construction worker who suff ffered a dime-sized contusion to his upper thigh, the dogs have gained an estimated 25 pounds each.

The extra exercise, along with a cha ang ge to their diet, has resulted in a notable up ptic ck in their health, Peschisolido said. The Nijjers are hoping their pets willl be re turned and have built an enclosure th hey say ensures that the dogs never escape ag gain n. The enclosure was inspected by anim mal be haviour specialist Dr. Rebecca Ledge er, who noted there are now three fences—ea ach “at least five feet tall, robust and well-cons stru ucted”—between the Nijjer’s yard and the e ad dja acent Henry Anderson Elementary Scho ool. “These fences prevent school children n from looking into your yard to see the dogs,, and also prevent the dogs from seeing out or coming within 20 feet of the property line,” Led dger wrote.

A big birthday party for Canada

Around Town Amanda Oye

here was no better place to be for Canada’s 147th birthday than amongst the crowds gathered at the Steveston Community Society’s 69th annual Steveston Salmon Festival. An estimated 100,000 people came out to enjoy live entertainment, a 110-float parade and great food, including the popular salmon bake. Special to the festival this year was an official swearing in ceremony where a group of people took an oath to officially become Canadian citizens.

“Everyone was so happy with it … it was a great way to start off the day,” said Janice Froese, the executive director of the Steveston Community Society. It is something the Salmon Festival organizers would like to make a permanent part of the festival. Also new to the festival this year was a car show, organized by the Richmond Lions Club. “(It was) very exciting for car buffs,” Froese said. The Salmon Festival was run with the help of over 400 volunteers. Each year it helps raise funds for projects that help serve the community. This year, the Steveston Community Society is looking to raise money to update the community centre playground. “We’re raising money to do an accessibility upgrade and refurbishment for the playground,” Froese said. Amanda Oye covers the social scene for The Richmond Review. She may be reached via email at amanda.oye@ telus.net.

Ernesto Berny, Janine Llaguno, Jorge Esquivel, Steve Berny, Diego Rosado and Diego Berny show their Canadian pride.
