Canada Post unveils details of $200-million Richmond plantby Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

A new $200-million Canada Post processing plant on Sea Island will play a key role in the national mail carrier's new e-commerce focus.

"With the growth of e-commerce, we are positioning ourselves as a strong and reliable link between Canada and the Far East," said Deepak Chopra, president and CEO of Canada Post, in a news release. "We will ensure Canada Post remains relevant in an increasingly digital economy, with more packages and fewer letters."

Federal Minister of State for Transport, Steven Fletcher, joined Canada Post offi cials and Mayor Malcolm Brodie at the construc-tion site of the plant Thursday morning to unveil details of the Crown corporation's e-commerce strategy and the postal cen-tre—scheduled to be operating in 2014.

Fletcher said the investment in the federal Crown corporation is aimed at strengthening Canada's "competitive position" in the Asia-Pacifi c Gateway.

The 700,000-square-foot Canada Post Pacifi c Processing Cen-tre, on Ferguson Road, will become the third largest processing plant in Canada, handling all mail—parcels, packets and letters.

According to Canada Post, the fastest-growing sector of the delivery business is e-commerce—merchants shipping goods ordered online by consumers—while letter mail continues to decline.

A 2011 eMarketer study quoted by Canada Post suggests Ca-nadians will spend nearly $31 billion online by 2015—double the current rate. Within Canada Post, volumes from its 20 largest e-commerce customers grew by 20 per cent last year.

NAV CANADA workers unveil a giant Canucks banner on the air traffi c control tower at Van-couver International Airport.

It would cover one-quar-ter of an ice rink’s sur-face—and the entire spirit of local hockey fans.

NAV CANADA workers unveiled a giant Vancou-ver Canucks banner last week to support the local National Hockey League team’s bid for the Stanley Cup. It now proudly hangs on the side of the 19-storey control tower at Vancouver International Airport.

“It’s big, real big, and the significance behind it is quite big as well,” said Ron Singer, manager of media relations for NAV Canada, in an e-mail to the Review.

The Canucks provided the 17-by-six-metre ban-ner, which faces the southeast—visible to Canada Line passengers and vehicles approaching the airport, along with ar-riving aircraft.

According to Singer, the tradition began in 1994 when the Canucks went to the Stanley Cup Final. Two NAV CANADA control-lers wanted to show their support for the team, so off to the hardware store they went.

They returned with a huge orange tarp and a few cans of black spray paint. An hour later, they finished a crude “GO CA-NUCKS GO” banner, which was mounted on the con-trol tower.

A new banner—one per-haps less of an eyesore—returned last year when the Vancouver Canucks or-ganization provided one.

Hog Shack Cook House chef and owner John Lim Hing shows off his custom Canucks jersey in Steveston Wednesday.

Pubs, eateries ready for Canucks fansHockey cards, Burrows Burgers and false teeth all part of local fan experience


Randy Craig knows the Ca-nucks are going to win the Stan-ley Cup. To be sure, he’s pulling out all the stops at his pub in East Richmond—a signed photo of Mick Jagger and Keith Rich-ards and his dad’s false teeth.

“Those are my two lucky charms and I put them right next to my Canucks Stanley Cup be-hind the bar,” said Craig at the Kingswood Pub. “So all the good luck charms are in place.”

The No. 5 Road haunt—rebuilt after a fire several years ago—boasts 30 TVs and plenty of promotions to get patrons into the playoff spirit.

On Wednesday, Game 1 of the NHL playoffs between the Vancouver Canucks and Los An-geles Kings, customers swilled beer between bites of Burrows Burgers and Canucklehead Beef Dips while watching their team fall 4-2.

Craig figured the Canucks—who play again tonight in Vancouver—will win their first series in five games, and then face Chicago before moving on to the Stanley Cup Final.

“This is our year. This is defi-nitely our year.”

On the other side of the city—Sea Island—the Flying Beaver Bar and Grill is also gearing up for a long playoff run.

“We love the Canucks and the atmosphere it brings, so we have Flying Beaver thunder sticks to get the atmosphere going,” said Scott McVicker, the pub’s general manager. “It’s

electric.”For Game 1 patrons filled up

on wings and Sleeman beer, netting prizes if their player—hockey cards are handed out to customers—scored, fought or played a period of shutout hockey.

McVicker, a self-professed “diehard fan” and season-ticket holder, predicted the Ca-nucks would finish L.A. in five games.

“I love the Canucks, so I’m probably a little biased...but I think the Canucks are poised to go to the Stanley Cup Final,” he said. “I feel we are going to win the Cup this year. I sure hope that we do.”

In Steveston, fans gather at various pubs and eateries to catch the action, including the Hog Shack Cook House. Locals are drawn to the Bayview Street hotspot’s ample TVs while pol-ishing off specialty dishes like pulled pork poutine and ribs.

Chef and owner John Lim Hing has a Canucks jersey with “HOG SHACK” emblazoned on the back, and is confident of his team’s chances. But he won’t offer a prediction.

Laughed Lim Hing: “I don’t want to jinx it so I’m not going to say anything.”

“I feel we are going to win the Cup this year. I sure hope that we do.”

Road pricing back on table as long-term option: minister

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom is proposing to add some democracy to TransLink by giving area mayors two seats on the currently unelected professional board.

He also unveiled details of a promised audit to wring new savings out of the transportation authority.

The planned governance reform would amend TransLink’s legislation to add the chair and vice-chair of the mayors’ council to the nine-member board of directors, which has made all decisions behind closed doors since 2008 when the prov-ince removed elected reps.

The move wouldn’t give the mayors majority control over the authority and its spending priori-ties – which they have demanded – but it would

offer them more say than they have now.Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, the vice-

chair, said the change strikes him as acceptable to improve communication – provided it’s an interim step and that the province considers more wide-reaching reform later to make TransLink more accountable to taxpayers.

But he said other mayors are skeptical and fear the two reps “are being set up to be the fall guys.”

He also said the province should have its own representative on the board – something recom-mended in past reviews of TransLink’s structure but rejected by the minister.

Meanwhile, Lekstrom is reopening the door to a longer-range consideration of road pricing, calling it a complex idea that the mayors can continue to investigate with TransLink.

“There would be a great deal of work that would still have to be done on this,” he cau-tioned. “There are a number of options around the world.”

The concept – which could make motorists pay to drive any signifi cant distance in Metro Vancouver whether they cross a bridge or not – has been championed by several mayors as a way to equitably raise money for TransLink and

address what they argue is unfair tolling of only some bridges.

Lekstrom said public education would be crucial if road pricing were to advance to the point the province could seriously consider it.

“They’ve got to bring the public that they repre-sent along,” he said. “Presenting it to the govern-ment and then stepping back doesn’t work.”

He reiterated that the province has no plans to change its tolling policy, which requires a free alternate route be offered wherever tolls are imposed.

But when reporters suggested the policy would have to change if road pricing were adopted, he called that “pure speculation” and said the province would wait and see what is ultimately put forward.

Lekstrom ruled out any use of the carbon tax for TransLink, adding any new funding tools must be regionally based.

“I believe that taxpayers are at their limit for paying additional fuel taxes,” he added, citing a public backlash over the two-cent increase in TransLink’s gas tax that took effect April 1.

Lekstrom said he also wants the mayors and TransLink to look harder at mechanisms to cap-ture the increase in land values where new transit

lines are built.The in-depth effi ciency audit, similar to one

done for BC Hydro and underway at ICBC, will be performed by the fi nance ministry’s internal audit staff and no new funding tools will be authorized by the province before it’s fi nished.

Lekstrom said he’s continuing to look for ways to enforce collection of TransLink fare evasion tickets – which mostly go unpaid – and said he does not intend to let those with past fi nes off the hook.

“I’m looking at every option I can look at to en-able the collection of these fi nes,” he said.

He also criticized the mayors’ council for seek-ing a pay raise and rejected the idea.

Mayors are paid $500 for each mayors’ council meeting they attend but the current legislation caps their payout at a maximum of 10 meetings per year, or $5,000.

They wanted to be compensated for extra meet-ings that have gone unpaid in recent years.

Lekstrom said extra pay for the mayors would be “out of step” with taxpayers’ expectations, particularly when new funding sources are be-ing pursued.

“Quite honestly, I don’t care,” Fassbender said, but added it was important to some mayors.

Tackling the Global Epidemic of Road Traffi c Fatalities WHO, the World Health

Organization, is the directing and coordinating authority for health within the United Nations system. When there are epidemics of or discoveries respecting infectious diseases, when there is widespread injury from natural disasters or environmental degradation, the WHO often plays a leadership role in responding.

With respect to the worldwide ‘epidemic’ of road traffi c fatality and injury, however, WHO’s role has been perhaps less front and centre. Although reports and resolutions in the latter part of the 20th Century indicate that WHO recognized the seriousness of road traffi c injuries as a public health issue, these efforts did not wholly fuse this issue with the international body.

With the dramatic increase in motorization levels in the past decade, the growing magnitude of this global problem has demanded attention and, to its credit, WHO has stepped up its efforts accordingly.

In 2004, it published the World Report on Road Traffi c Injury Prevention underscoring its “concern that unsafe road traffi c systems are seriously harming global public health and development…. [and contending]…that the level of road traffi c injury is unacceptable and … largely avoidable.” The report’s goals were: “to raise awareness about the magnitude, risk factors and impacts of road traffi c collisions globally; to draw attention to the preventability of the problem and present known intervention strategies; and to call for a coordinated approach across a range of sectors to address the problem.”

The 2004 Report expressly acknowledged that if it were to be effective it would “stimulate discussion at local, national and international levels, and the recommendations should serve to bring about

greatly increased actions on road traffi c injury prevention around the world.”

In 2009, by which time the annual world-wide road toll had reached an almost unbelievable 1.3 million fatalities, and between 20 and 50 million non-fatal injuries, WHO published the Global Status Report on Road Safety, described

as, “the fi rst broad assessment of the road safety situation in 178 countries, using data drawn from a standardized survey.”

The 2009 report shows, generally, that road traffi c injuries remain an important public health problem, particularly for low-income and middle-income countries; that almost half of those killed on the roads are pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, now referred to as “vulnerable road users.” Clearly, every country needs to focus on the plight of “vulnerable road users”, but the problem is greatest in places where traffi c law enforcement is minimal and the rules of the road are seen as guidelines subject to personal interpretation by the driver.

In March 2010, the UN General Assembly proclaimed the period 2011-2020 as the Decade of Action for Road Safety. This initiative aims to stabilize and then reduce the forecast level of global road traffi c deaths predicted to become—without intervention— the fi fth leading cause of death by 2030, resulting in 2.4 million deaths a year, a projection based on road traffi c deaths increasing and deaths from other health conditions decreasing. Its impact will be monitored through global status reports prepared by WHO, the fi rst of which is expected in 2012. See www.who.int/.

Pocket dials from cellphones are being blamed for most of the more than 100,000 bo-gus 911 calls that took up operators’ time last year, diverting resources from real emergencies in the Lower Mainland.

An analysis of call sta-tistics found 10 per cent of more than one million 911 calls received by the E-Comm regional emer-gency communications centre were dialed by mistake in 2011.

E-Comm estimates more than 70,000 of those calls – or 200 per day – were “pocket di-als” in which cellphones in a pocket or purse dialed 911 by mistake. Another 40,000 were abandoned calls where the user hung up.

Growing use of smart phones are behind the increase as they now ac-count for 58 per cent of 911 call volume – an all-time high and up 10 per cent in four years.

E-Comm is asking the public to cut down on pocket calls by using keylocks, storing cell phones in protective cases and not pre-pro-gramming 911 into any phone.

If 911 is dialed by mis-take, the centre says callers should stay on the line and speak with the call-taker.

When callers hang up, staff will call back to en-sure the caller is safe, tying up more resources and in the case of hang-ups from landlines, dis-patching police.

Operators who handle the numerous pocket dials must stay on the line and listen for signs that a caller dialed inten-tionally but is now inca-pacitated or otherwise in danger.

Call takers say they’ve heard it all, from action at rave parties to inti-mate moments phone users would never want transmitted.

“I’ve had a lot of calls from Rogers Arena when the Canucks were play-ing,” says Corey Kelso, E-Comm 911 call-taker. “I’ve heard pucks drop, I’ve heard the announce-ments, and I’ve actually heard Richard Loney singing the national an-them.”

NOW ENROLLING FOR SUMMER CAMPS

Ozone base levels are up, despite drops in most pollutants


Baseline levels of ozone are con-tinuing to creep up in the Lower Main-land despite reduced emissions of the key air pollutants that combine to cause smog.

Metro Vancouver offi cials say their staff and scientists from University of B.C. and Environment Canada are trying to understand the discrepancy and why average levels of ground-level ozone haven’t also declined over the past 10 years.

“This is a disturbing trend,” said Roger Quan, Metro’s air quality policy manager. “There isn’t a good expla-nation.”

He said rising levels of background ozone wafting here from across the Pacifi c Ocean may be the cause.

The average increase being ob-

served does not apply to peak ozone levels measured on the worst air qual-ity days each summer—those high-est readings have steadily trended downward for 20 years.

Metro has just released a report titled Caring For Our Air that paints a generally optimistic picture of the region’s trend of improving air quality over the past two decades, much of it due to cleaner vehicles, less sulphur in fuels and initiatives like AirCare.

The report shows ambient levels of fi ne particulate, sulphur dioxide, ni-trogen dioxide and carbon monoxide levels have all declined by at least 20 per cent since 2001, while ozone is up nearly 20 per cent.

Ground-level ozone is caused by the reaction of nitrogen dioxide and volatile organic compounds, typically from solvents and fuels, in the pres-ence of sunlight.

Emissions have been steadily de-clining from the three biggest sources of smog precursors—light vehicles, non-road engines and solvents.

But growth in population and traffi c through the region mean the recent gains are expected to recede and air quality could worsen from 2020

through 2030.Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman

said Fraser Valley residents who once couldn’t see Mount Baker on a clear day know the smog levels have im-proved.

“We can see it,” he said. “It’s clearly getting better.”

But he said the gains have been hard-won and must be maintained.

Banman chastised Metro staff for failing to include the region’s plans for a new garbage incinerator in the report, calling it a project that must be subjected to the highest level of scru-tiny. He said air quality is important for reasons beyond human health, pointing to damage to agricultural crops from ozone and to tourism.

“If tourists can’t see the mountains, they go somewhere else,” he said.

There were no air quality advisories due to smog last year.

But Metro offi cials say the 2011 numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, because there were no major air quality inversion to trap ozone in the Fraser Valley and fuel smog formation. Nor were there major wildfi res that sent smoke here from elsewhere in the province.

Smog disconnect puzzles air quality experts

B.C. allows booze by the big screen

The B.C. government has created a new li-quor licence that allows theatres to serve alcohol during movie showings.

Rich Coleman, the cabinet minister respon-sible for B.C. liquor and gambling policy, says the change will get rid of red tape for theatres that could get a licence to serve alcohol for live events, but couldn’t show movies in the same place.

The new licence will allow theatres to serve drinks in the lobby, but patrons won’t be able to take drinks to their movie seat unless the room is adults-only. Coleman said unlike the stands at a hockey game or out in a well-lit lobby, it’s diffi cult for operators to see if mi-nors are sneaking drinks in a dark theatre.

A multiplex cinema now has the option of desig-nating one theatre for adults only and serving drinks, an approach that has caught on in other jurisdictions along with larger seats and tables. The licence would also cover an adults-only lounge adjacent to the theatre.

Other theatres that have live shows will be able to take part in fi lm festivals without having to close their bar or apply for a new licence.

Library offers English learning program for families and caregivers

The Cambie Branch of Richmond Public Library is holding a free, drop-in program called “Let’s Read Together” for parents, caregivers and pre-school age children who want to learn English.

Immigrant women who are caring for children ages 3-5 can come to the library once a week and learn English by listening to simple stories and reading to each other. The program takes place from 10:30 a.m. – noon on Fridays from April 13 to June 29 in the Cambie library, located in the Cambie Shopping Plaza at No. 5 Road and Cambie.

Let’s Read Together - Immigrant Women and Tots Reading Program is supported by Deco-da Literacy Solutions and the Province of B.C., and is sponsored by the Library and the Richmond Women’s Resource Centre.

For more information, call 604-273-2223.


Wherever one stands on the current B.C. teachers’ dispute, it

must be recognized that it is crucial for all sides that the mediator appointed should be considered by all par-ties to be independent and impartial at the outset.

Unfortunately for upcoming negotiations—already a poten-tial minefield—there are serious flaws in the optics of the B.C. government’s appointment of Charles Jago as mediator, at an estimated cost to taxpayers of $2,000 per day.

A former president of the University of Northern B.C. and author of a 2006 report on education in the province, Jago has been faulted by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation as a former contributor to the B.C. Liberals’ war chest—to the tune of $500 in 2007 and the same again in 2010.

Jago has explained the amounts represent tickets purchased for fundraising golf tournaments, as though that somehow made them less sig-nificant than straight contribu-tions to the B.C. Liberal cause. But contributions—and gener-ous ones—they were.

The public may have a hard time believing one would dish out that kind of money for something one doesn’t endorse, and Jago’s presence at such

fundraising events implies, at the very least, some philosophic alignment with the party.

It is true the B.C. Teachers’ Federation is of a mind to find fault with Jago’s background and the circumstances of his appointment—hardly surprising considering the rancor surround-ing Education Minister George Abbott’s introduction of Bill 22, which imposed the current cool-ing off period and mediation.

But one can only imagine the sound and fury that would have been heard had a left-wing government appointed a media-tor who had made such contri-butions to the B.C. Teachers’ Federation or NDP.

And now comes the admis-sion from Abbott that Jago both saw—and suggested changes to—Bill 22 before it became law, even before the B.C. Teachers’ Federation had a chance to submit its own suggestions for mediator.

It is pointless to argue, as Ab-bott has done, that the sections Jago viewed of the draft bill per-tained only to his terms of refer-ence and his mandate. That he contributed to any of it clearly compromises the process—in the same way as discussion of evidence of a criminal case among jurors, however innocu-ous, is deemed sufficient cause to declare a mistrial.

Given the plummeting popular-ity for the B.C. Liberals—and

what many see as the yawning credibility gap for the provincial government—such blunders do

nothing to improve their chances of being re-elected.

When I was young, I distinctly

remember my mother taking my brother and me to visit sand dunes in Richmond.

For hours, we’d slide down the hot sand and then scramble up to the top and do it all over again. We’d pretend we were lost in the Sahara and we’d dig frantically for water to quench our thirst.

But I must have been dreaming. Sand dunes in Richmond?!!

A few years ago, I fi nally asked mum if that memory was true. Where on earth could those sand dunes have been? As it turns out, Garry Point is where I spent many weekends fi lling my shoes with hot sand and exploring the “Sahara.”

Can you imagine totally losing a landmark like Garry Point? What about Terra Nova Park where all the wonderful food festivals and community events happen? Or Iona Beach? Can you imagine living your whole life on an island and seeing all those memories drown under water?

The residents of Taku, an island in the South Pacifi c just off Papua New Guinea, faced just that re-ality. For generations, the community lived beside

the water. The men and women would fi sh and all the community celebra-tions revolved around the bounty of the sea and the island.

And then that sea began creeping closer. The el-ders had never seen any-thing like it before. Food gardens began dying out because of saltwater intrusion. Whole beaches where children used to play disappeared. Tropi-cal storms, which were once a natural part of island life, now inundated houses that used to be above flood levels.

Finally, scientists from Australia came to Taku to explain what was happen-ing and give it a name: Global Warming. The warming of the earth was causing sea levels to rise. These people, who live very low carbon lifestyles themselves, were feeling the brunt of this impact.

All of this is documented in a movie called There Once was an Island and is being screened April 21 at Brighouse Library as part of Earth Day celebrations. Amnesty International, the Richmond Food Security Society, the Sharing Farm, and a number of other groups will give local resi-dents a chance to make positive change in the community.

I think that Richmon-dites, as fellow island

dwellers, can feel a strong sense of commonality with the residents of Taku. We, too, live under sea level. We know our own dykes are going to need fortify-ing with the predicted sea level rise. Climate change has also had a huge impact on our agriculture as well.

Come out to the library next Saturday, April 21. Learn about seed saving, community gardening, composting, and take part in an earth-friendly ECO Contest. Stay for the screening of the movie and see just why it’s so very important that we not only educate ourselves about protecting the earth but we do something about it.

My right to drink bottled waterEditor:

Re: “City needs to embrace ripples of change,” Arzeena Hamir, March 30.

There comes a point in time when the big picture should include everyone and not just a select few.

Let’s consider that water is critical to our health. Let’s consider that for years now, we have been bombarded with the importance of replacing pop and other sugary drinks in refreshment machines with bottled water. Why? Because in order to improve the health of every man, woman and child in Richmond—they need to drink as much water as possible as often as possible.

Now, after that hard won message and change has permeated throughout Richmond schools, community centres, and municipal buildings—there is now a fight to remove ac-cess to bottled water?

I know a lot of people who simply will not drink tap water and I know many more who do walk around with an empty container every-where they go. Think about the kids on hockey and soccer fields who rely on their coaches to have coolers filled with bottled water. Think about busy people who stop off to work out on the way home and depend on the ability to grab a bottle of water at the community centre before exercising. And think about the vast number of people who no longer having access to bottled water in municipal vend-ing machines simply switch back to sugary drinks. Not only that, bottled water tastes significantly better than Richmond’s tap water to many people. Why don’t those of you who are attempting to take away my easy access to the water I prefer to drink, explain to me why you feel obliged to impinge upon my right to choose the best beverage for my health wher-ever I am?

And while you are at it, why don’t you tell me exactly what is in tap water before you insist that I must drink it?

Richmond is too bigEditor:

Could you tell me why our mayor and council are so intent on increasing our population even further? Do we get “Brownie” points for being the most congested, overcrowded city in the Lower Mainland?

Richmond already has more residents than our parking spaces, roads, bridges and tunnel can handle.

Having lived in Richmond for 85 years and having witnessed the unbelievable, appalling changes in our city, I would like to suggest we try to achieve quality rather than quantity.

Editor:Re: “Budget to hurt

retirees,” Letters, April 4.

In response to the letter penned by the interim leader of the

Liberal Party, I would disagree with his as-sessment of the budget and what it means for Canada’s seniors.

As Minister of State for Seniors, I am proud

to say our government is fully committed to ensuring the long term sustainability of the Old Age Security program for all Canadians, especially our future

generations.To be clear, no se-

niors pensions will be reduced because of the proposed changes to the OAS and Canadians currently collecting OAS benefi ts will not be affected.

In fact, changes made to the OAS will be phased in between 2023 and 2029, giving Canadians up to 17 years to plan and adjust accordingly.

These changes will not affect the Canada Pension Plan. The CPP has been adjusted over the years and has been deemed sustainable for the long term.

Starting in January, we will start to proactively enroll many seniors in OAS and GIS, eliminat-ing the need for them to apply for these ben-efi ts.

Additionally, in July, we will allow individu-als to voluntary to defer their OAS pension, essentially giving Canadians the option to delay receiving the OAS pension for up to fi ve years. For every month an individual delays receiving OAS, their monthly payment will be increased for the remainder of their life.

Canada is about to ex-perience signifi cant de-mographic shifts where soon, the number of seniors will nearly double. The ratio of workers to seniors will be cut in half. Currently, we have four working-age Canadians for every senior; by 2030, there will be only two.

The OAS program is the largest individual transfer made to Ca-nadians by the govern-ment and is completely funded by tax revenues. On its current path, the OAS program is unsustainable. If we did not act now, the annual cost of OAS is projected to increase from $38 billion in 2011 to $108 billion in 2030, which will account for 21 per cent of all federal tax dollars spent.

Our government is determined to take re-sponsible, fair and pru-dent action to make the OAS program sustain-able for all Canadians—now and into the future. We are committed to providing a secure and dignifi ed retirement for seniors who have spent their lives building Canada through their hard work.

lettersXiamen is more like a sister metropolisEditor:

Xiamen has a population of 3,531,347 inhabit-ants, almost 1.8 times the population counted for the last census in 2000 (which was of 2,053,070 inhabit-ants). This growth rate will soon make it a sister prov-ince better suited for, well, for all of Western Canada.

Pierrefonds was a city on the Island of Montreal. It ceased to exist on January 1, 2002. The city was located along the Rivière des Prairies at the western end of the island. Its fi nal population was 54,963 which might have been comparable to Richmond 45 years ago.

So Pierrefonds is a sister non-city which once had a population about one quarter that of Richmond and Xiamen is a proposed sister metropolis with a popula-tion 17 times greater than Richmond’s. Exactly what are these exacting standards that a prospective sister city must achieve in order to qualify to have our councillors deign to visit them at taxpayers’ expense?

The sister city organization’s mission (http://www.sister-cities.org/) is to “promote peace through mutual respect, under-standing, and coopera-tion — one individual, one community at a time.” Wonderful rhetoric but no specifi cs—and no account-ability. The way Richmond council handles the sub-ject, with their closed-door meetings, communication by press release, arbi-trary 56 per cent budget increase to $234,410, and the overall lack of transpar-ency makes it seem more like it is planning a secret, stay-up-all-night weekend

slumber party complete with pillow fi ght, gossip and giggles, and way too much pizza and ginger ale.

Cities in India, Korea, the Philippines and Nether-lands are all being considered as new sister cities for Richmond. If the mayor and councillors have such a pressing need to be a big sister why not bond with Port au Prince, Haiti which is located on an island, suffered a devastating earthquake and needs...everything? Abyei, South Sudan has a population and could use some understanding. Grozny, Chechnya has a popula-tion, a mayor and a council and they need peace. Those sisters might make for interesting sleepovers and photo opportunities.

R. PekarekRichmond

Sister city money would be better spent at the food bank

Editor:It is time to put an end to these sister city vaca-

tions by out-voting the free-loaders on city council. There should be a limit on the amount the council can spend without approval from the taxpayer. Wasteful spending seems to be the norm here in Richmond. The same money could go a long way in helping the Richmond Food Bank serve the needy.

The people to blame are the ones who elected these carpetbaggers.

Apparently, council feels that it is their right to squander public funds.

Glen HerediaRichmond

Frivolous tripEditor:

Sister city visits are frivolous expenses from the taxpayer’s point of view. The participants will gain some personal benefi ts, entertainment and enjoy-ment during the trip, so they might as well pay at least 50 per cent air fare from their own pocket.

Sunil Mathure Richmond

arts & entertainmentGoby Catt swings into River Rock next week

Australian singer and bass player Goby Catt will play at River Rock Casino Resort next week for a pair of free shows.

Catt grew up in Sydney, Australia, where he was a respected bass player and vocalist in the city’s jazz scene for more than a decade. He has toured extensively—in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States.

Now living in Vancouver, Catt continues his love affair with music with his band, the Catt Pack, which plays classic soul, funk, blues and rock, including standards—with Catt’s take—from Frank Sinatra, Chet Baker, Ella Fitzgerald and Dean Martin.

Catt will be at Lulu’s Lounge Wednesday, April 18, beginning at 8:30 p.m., and Thurs-day, April 19, beginning at 9 p.m. No cover charge.

Art exhibition explores China’s one-child policy

Richmond Art Gallery will host an opening reception for its latest exhibition next Thursday.

Emerging artist Hua Jin’s My Big Family runs from April 20 to June 10 at the gallery’s Richmond Cultural Centre location.

In the exhibition, Jin explores issues relating to China’s one-child-per-family policy and economics. Employing photography and video, Jin documents and refl ects on her personal experience as the fi rst genera-tion of single-child families and explores how this policy affects families, communities and the country.

The artist will be giving a discussion on the exhibit on Saturday, June 2 from 1 to 2 p.m.

An accompanying community project—in Gallery 3—features a display of framed family photographs of Richmond families.

The gallery is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (open until 9 p.m. Thursdays) and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends.

From its in-ception back in 1897 the

Boston Marathon has captivated the hearts and imagi-nations of Ameri-cans and Canadi-ans alike.

What began as a trib-ute to the fi rst modern Olympic Marathon of 1896 has continued without missing a beat, becoming the oldest—and most prestigious—of annually contested marathons.

No matter which

marathon you’re run-ning anywhere on earth—you’re going to know at the fi nish line if you’ve qualifi ed for Boston. Serious runners will enter only mara-thons that are certifi ed Boston qualifi ers.

With qualifying times based on sex and age combined with a more health conscious population, the Boston Marathon has become a reachable goal for more Canadians. The 116th edition, organized by the Boston Athletic As-sociation, will be held as always, on Patriot’s Day (Monday). a Massachu-setts state holiday. Out of 26,000 participants, hailing from at least 80 countries, 2,050 will be representing the Great White North, compared to 880 Canadians en-tered in 2001.

Even though Geoffrey Mutai from Kenya set a world record of 2:03:02 last year, Boston is a diffi cult course for most, especially fi rst-timers. Think of 16 miles of roll-ing downhill, followed by fi ve miles of uphill, in-cluding Heartbreak Hill—and fi nally the quad destroying downward descent to the fi nish line. It’s a point to point course starting from the rural town of Hopkinton. Tens of thousands of fans scream their sup-port, especially in the town on Wellesley, where runners are treated like rock stars.

The fi rst Boston Marathon was won by John J. McDermott from New York in two hours, 55 minutes and 10 seconds. Only 15 runners participated and just 10 completed it. The course was short back then at just 24.5 miles. It wasn’t until 1908 that the

distance was changed to the Olympic standards that it is today.

Speaking on Tuesday from Toronto with Cana-dian former Olympian Je-rome Drayton, he talked about his 1977 Boston victory, which was the last by a Canadian male.

Drayton, 67, incredibly is still the fastest Cana-dian of all time with a personal best of 2:10:09. He beat legendary Bos-tonian Bill Rogers to win Boston in 2:14:46.

“It was a very hot day and I remember there were no water stations on the route and I was running with Rodgers and I mentioned to him there is no water and Bill said no, it looks like you are on your own. Bill shared his personal drink but after a while it wasn’t really helping. When we came to Heartbreak Hill, Bill had dropped out and I continued on despite feeling like I was going to drop dead,” Drayton said.

He had complained to the race director, Jock Semple, that there wasn’t any water sta-tions along the route for approximately 3,000 runners and he didn’t want to acknowledge it. Drayton returned to Boston the following year and there were wa-ter stations. Drayton’s training back then was 190 miles a week, while also holding down a full-time job. He noted it takes, “motivation, discipline and effective time management.”

In past years, other Canadians have won the Boston Marathon. Gerard Cote ran his fi rst Boston marathon in 1936 and won the race in 1940, 1942, 1943, and 1948.

Boston Marathon is a tough raceFrom Page 16

The earliest Canadian winner was Ronald J. MacDonald of Antigonish, N.S. in 1898 in a time of 2:42:00.

Jacqueline Gareau. the 1980 Boston Marathon women’s winner, broke the course record with a 2:34:28. She is the only Canadian woman to win the Boston Marathon. The Saint- Adele, Quebec native had her victory celebration delayed because of the notorious Rosie Ruiz, who entered the race with just two kilometres remaining.

Art Boileau, a 54-year-old North Vancouver na-tive, is one of Canada’s greatest all time marathon-ers, the former Olympian twice winning the L.A. marathon in 1987 (2:13:08) and in 1989 (2:13:01). Boileau placed second at the 1986 Boston Mara-thon in his personal best of 2:11:15. Boileau won $20,000 in the fi rst year prize money was offered at Boston.

He speaks warmly of his Boston experience, saying on Tuesday, “You have a million spectators watching, I love Boston. It’s a great city and the city really supports their sports community and it is such a historic event.”

Boileau went back to Boston 26 years later and still broke three hours, running 2:52 as a 51-year-old.

The Boston Marathon has been kind to a select few Canadian elites but for most, it’s defi nitely no tea party.

Latest musical project for Ranj Singh proving it has staying power


Check Google, search a record store or click through iTunes to find it. Chances are, you’ll find a single en-

try in the category of Indo-folk rock: Ranj Singh and the Discriminators.

“It’s a genre we invented ourselves. It’s not out there anywhere,” said Singh, a lifelong Surrey resi-dent who brings his band to the Steveston Folk Guild next week.

Their music has a distinct Indian fl air, yet the band has few links to southeast Asia. Even the British-born Singh wasn’t immediately attracted to the sounds of the sitar.

“I grew up listening to Boston, Meatloaf and Neil Young. Those were my acts growing up and I had no interest in Indian music until 1984,” said Singh.

That’s when a friend took him to a concert in Van-couver to see the famed Indian ghazal singer Jagjit Singh.

“That very same day I said, I have to learn more about what this is all about. That’s when I fell in love with Indian music,” he said. “Prior to that, I didn’t care for it, I didn’t play it, listen to it or anything.”

The band of Ranj Singh and the Discriminators has been together for three years, releasing its

first album, Found a Way Home in 2011. Singh is a self-taught guitarist, singer and songwriter. Rounding out the group is Chris Dufault on lead guitar, Dan Huget on electric violin, Bojan Bu-garinovich on sitar and bass and David Eadie on percussion.

“The guys fi nd it challenging,” Singh said about playing music with some Indian roots. “When I gave them the riffs to learn and play... they hadn’t done that before. Every musician loves a challenge, so it felt good to them.”

In the 1980s, Singh performed with Dal Dil Vog (DDV), an award-winning group known for its bhangra-rock music. Now leading the Discrimina-tors, Singh is ready to share his experience in Indian music—and the talents of his fi ve-piece band—to a wider audience.

After their April 19 show in Steveston, which will largely be an acoustic set, the band is looking forward to gigs in various B.C. locations, including the Dragon Boat Festival—and possibly the Fusion Festival in his hometown of Surrey.

“You want fusion, I got a violin player with a Ger-man background, a British drummer, a French guitar-ist and a Serbian bass player and a Punjabi singer who sings in English. I can’t see anything more multicultural than that.”

Ranj Singh and the Discriminators play the Steveston Folk Guild April 19.

Steveston shop sells sausages made by fifth-generation expert


Tucked in Steveston Village is a specialty store that has a salivating effect on hungry customers.

D Original Sausage Haus, located on First Avenue at Chatham Street, is a purveyor of high quality, European style sausages. It opened quietly two months ago and has already built a following. And for playoff hockey fans looking for the perfect bratwurst to barbecue, look no further.

“We have a wide variety of barbe-cue bratwursts,” said Jens Hertha,

listing spicy, classic and Greek as some local favourites. “Especially for the playoffs, that’s the kind of thing you want right now. When the sun comes out, what’s better than having a barbecue with the game?”

Hertha owns the store with fellow Steveston-area resident Thorsten Stock. Together they’ve put togeth-er a growing sausage selection that includes everything from bratwurst and fi ne salamis to prosciutto hams and sandwich meats.

All the meat in store is made by a fi fth generation sausage-maker from Germany, Drews Driessen—except the prosciutto hams, which are imported from Italy and Spain. Sausages are made without preser-vatives, gluten or fi llers—just meat and spices. The store also carries fi ne artisan cheeses as a comple-ment.

Hertha grew up in Germany, where eating fi ne sausages and sandwich meats is a way of life.

Tasting Driessen’s offerings trans-ported him back to his childhood in Germany. He wanted to make the sausages available to consum-ers who otherwise could only fi nd them in fi ne restaurants, and D Original Sausage Haus was born.

“The reception in the community of Steveston has been great in the fi rst two months,” he said. “This is only the fi rst store of hopefully many to come.”

Some of Hertha’s favourites are air cured salamis: saucisson sec, a dry French salami; madador, a hot salami; and ostraya, a spicy Rus-sian salami. For European custom-ers familiar with the fi ne fl avours, it’s a little slice of heaven.

“They come in and their eyes get wide. They feel like a kid in a candy store. They see the things that they haven’t seen in 30, 40 years, ever since they came to Canada.”

Hockey’s the gamefor top-notch student

After helping the Fraser Valley Phantom win the pro-vincial female hockey Major Midget championship recently, Richmond’s Jodi Gentile is now shooting for a spot on Team BC, which will play for the nation-al under-18 title later this year in Dawson Creek.

by Don FennellSports Editor

Noon hour at Matthew McNair Secondary affords Jodi Gentile the chance to catch her breath. And that’s not something this Grade 10 honour roll student, and former Richmond Review carrier, takes for granted.

Her day is typically chock-a-block with things to do. Besides being dedicated to her studies, she’s a mem-ber of student council and was part of the school’s two-week Alice in Won-derland production last

spring. And, she’s an elite level hockey player—good enough to play defence for the Fraser Valley Phantom, winner of the province’s fe-male Major Midget league this season.

But Gentile isn’t com-plaining.

“Even though I don’t have a lot of time, I think it’s good to try everything I can through high school because I’m not going to get the chance after,” she says.

“And staying busy keeps me motivated and focused.”

One of eight rookies to

play for the Phantom this season, Gentile made the team by impressing the coaching staff with her strong skating and instinc-tive offensive skills. But that was the easy part. Each week typically con-

sisted of two practices, two games and a dryland training session, not to mention a gruelling travel schedule that included a series of exhibition games a

At least for Ryan Murao and Wendy Robillard, who both earned fi rst-place re-sults at the seniors (16 and over) competition in Seat-tle, Wash. Murao topped the men’s fi rst and second degree black belt division, while Robillard took top

honours in the ladies’ open division. She also placed third in the fourth degree and over black belt divi-sion.

Darren Lim placed third in the senior non-degree divi-sion, while the Steveston A team of David Yao, Sean O’Sullivan, Ryan and Ray Murao and Philip Nishiki-hama was second in the team matches.

Are you not eating what you want to because of problems chewing with your dentures? Do they jump, shift, or tilt? Are you tired of replacing them all of the time? Are you sick of the unsanitary denture goo and adhesive you use to try and get them to stay put? Have you ever been told that you couldn’t have dental implants?

If you said yes to any of these questions, then you are one of more than 40 million people across the country who live with the pain and suffering of removable dentures and partials. The good news is that there are new ways to solve the problems of being unable to bite or chew the food that you want to eat. You no longer have to resign yourself to a soft food diet permanently.

Dr. Greg Nelson has a new procedure where no surgical incision is required through the gum tissue. This new modern miracle called ‘Mini Dental Implants’ give your teeth a secure and solid foundation, so you can chew the foods you like and improve your nutrition. They also help preserve the bone of the jaw and help keep you looking younger. This is a tremendous advance even from just fi ve years ago.

This procedure is performed in a routine dental

setting on an outpatient basis and requires no hospitalization. The patient is able to go home and enjoy eating the same day. “If you would like a solution where you visit us in the morning and are able to comfortably eat and smile just a few hours later, then you are ready for the new techniques now available,” says Dr. Nelson.

If your dentures just aren’t working for you anymore and you are ready for the convenience that this modern technique provides, then call Dr. Nelson today to schedule a COMPLEMENTARY initial consultation.

One Day Miracle for Denture Sufferers!

McNair honour roll student eyes a spot on Team BC bluelineFrom Page 21

against top-level compe-tition. Last October, the Phantom travelled 16 hours by bus to Warner, Alta. to play against the Banff Hockey Academy and were able to celebrate a 7-1 victory.

Then on Nov. 27, Gen-tile’s mettle—physically and mentally—was chal-

lenged when she suffered a serious ankle injury. Yet she found a way to push through (with help from physiotherapy at LifeMark at the Richmond Olympic Oval) to travel and com-pete with her teammates in the Notre Dame, Sask. tournament Dec. 8 to 11.

The following week-end, the team swept the

Super League weekend at the Langley Events Centre and Gentile was one of several Phantom players to be chosen to play in the all-star game. The Phantom won the B.C. championship two weeks ago by edging the Kelowna Rockets in a close three-game series.

The Phantom came

up shy in its bid to win the recent regional fi nal against the Edmonton Thunder (losing 3-2 and 3-1) over the Easter long weekend, but Gentile played what her mom proudly deemed “one of the most outstanding games I have ever seen her play on the Friday.” And she wasn’t alone in her assessment, with assistant coach Serena Hillman also raving.

Gentile is now focusing her energy on making Team BC which will compete in the 2012

female national under-18 championships later this year in Dawson Creek. Having made it to the fi rst round of tryouts, she’ll be playing in the BC Cup in Invermere April 25 to 29, where about 100 girls will vie for 40 to 45 spots to the provincial camp in May. The top 20 players will make up Team BC.

A lifelong fan of the Vancouver Canucks, Gentile’s favourite player is, not surprisingly, a defenceman—Kevin Bieksa. But when she

was little she wanted to be a goalie.

“My older brother, who was a forward, taught me how to skate,” says Gentile, who began play-ing hockey with the boys at the Richmond Minor Hockey Association at the age of six. In her fi nal year with Richmond minor, she helped the A2 team reach the fi nal four. Then in her second year of Pewee, she moved over to play with the local girls’ hockey association, now known as the Ravens, and

played up an age level—Bantam rep—for three seasons. Last season, her Ravens’ team placed second at the provincial championships.

“My parents always gave me a choice between playing girls’ or boys’ hockey, but once I got to Peewee I realized I was so much smaller (than most of the other players) and decided it was time to switch,” she says.

Besides playing the game she loves—and at a high level—Gentile says hockey has given her so much.

“It’s helped me keep my priorities straight, and I can’t even describe how much more confi -dence in myself I have and the circle of friends I’ve made,” says Gentile.

She hopes her hockey skills are good enough to earn a post-secondary scholarship, and plans to study kinesiology in university while eyeing a career in human kinet-ics.

When she’s not in the classroom or on the ice, Gentile is usually volunteering or working. Since January, she works a day per week in the after-school program at the Hamilton Commu-nity Centre as well as for a few weeks in the sum-mer as a camp leader. She began volunteering at the centre when she was only 11 and in June, 2009 won the Teen Volunteer Award.

There’s a lot to think about when buying a new home, and energy-efficiency isn’t necessarily tops on your list. However, BC Hydro has several reasons why it should be one of the first things you think about.

Around since 2006, the BC Hydro Power Smart New Home program ensures that homes are more energy-efficient, which will save you money in the long run.

“These homes use 30 per cent less energy than an average home in today’s market,” says Kari Montrichard, Program Manager of Residential Marketing for BC Hydro.

Homes in the program have an Energuide rating of 80 or higher, Montrichard says.

“An Energuide rating is a performance-based building energy rating system developed and delivered by (Natural Resources Canada) and its licensed service organizations. The scale ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 is the least efficient and 100 is the most efficient,” she says, adding that a home’s performance is mainly based on thermal performance and how efficient the heating and cooling systems are.

With energy costs expected to rise in the future, buying a Power Smart New Home is especially important because it will help homeowners save money. Montrichard cites three ways that a home in the program will benefit you in the long run.

The first is saving on your mortgage insurance, as the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Mortgage Insurance will give you a 10 per cent refund if you buy a Power Smart New Home.

The second is saving on your monthly bills, since your home will use less energy to accomplish the same tasks.

The third is on the resale value of your home, especially when more and more buyers are concerned about the environment and looking for a green home.

But is there anything you can do to your current home to make it more energy-efficient? Montrichard says yes.

“There are low-cost improvements homeowners can make from draft-proofing to replacing showerheads,” she says. “For deeper retrofits and improvements like replacing windows or adding insulation, we have partnered with the provincial government and

FortisBC to offer the Live Smart program. Homeowners can have a home energy audit to understand which retrofits will provide the best results, and they may qualify for incentives.”

When you’re touring a potential home, there are a few things for you to look out for.

Lighting accounts for about 16 per cent of the electricity consumption in a house, so the easiest way to increase your energy efficiency is to install compact fluorescent bulbs that include an Energy Star label.

Home appliances are responsible for about 20 per cent of the energy used per day, so it’s a good idea to look for an ENERGY STAR label when purchasing new appliances as well.

For example, BC Hydro states that refrigerators with that label are at least 20 per cent more energy-efficient than the minimum standard set by the federal government. This means they are better insulated, often more quiet and include more precise temperature settings and better defrost mechanisms. Meanwhile, a dishwasher with an ENERGY STAR label is at least 25 per cent more efficient and can save homeowners up to 20 per cent on water heating costs, BC Hydro says.

Another big appliance in the home is a washing machine for clothing. An ENERGY STAR-labelled machine can reduce your overall energy consumption by up to 50 per cent, and uses 35 to 50 per cent less water than standard models.

Up to one third of the heat inside the home can escape through windows, so BC Hydro recommends looking for ENERGY STAR-labelled windows that will keep the heat inside during the winter and the heat outside in the summer.

Power Smart New Homes are a great investment

BC Hydro

Family-friendly community gaining popularity

Tsawwassen a rising hot spotWhat is it about Tsawwassen that

makes it so popular in the new home market right now? With the release of the second phase of Shato Holdings’ Tsawwassen Springs development late last year, the community formerly best known for the BC Ferry terminal is coming into its own.

“Tsawwassen has always been a really nice area to raise a family,” says Ron Toigo, managing director of Shato Holdings.

Toigo has been a long-time resident of Tsawwassen himself, and says he enjoys the proximity to Vancouver while still getting away from it all.

“It’s half an hour from Vancouver, but

you could be 100 miles away,” he says.Tsawwassen Springs opened for sale

earlier last year, and has been extremely popular with all types of homebuyers. Part of its appeal can be chalked up to the city, along with its stunning golf course and mountain views.

“Tsawwassen is going to be one of the hot spots,” says George Wong, founder of Magnum Projects, which marketed Tsawwassen Springs’ second phase. “It’s an undiscovered jewel.”

One thing that sets Tsawwassen apart is the construction of its developments, Wong says. “You don’t see high-rises and concrete towers. It’s a more pastoral community.”

“ These homes use 30 per cent less energy

than an average home in today’s market,” says Kari Montrichard, Program Manager of Residential Marketing for BC Hydro.

NOT ALL NEW HOMES ARE BUILT WITH ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN MIND.

That’s why it pays to look for a Power Smart New Home Builder when

shopping for your next home.

Power Smart New Homes are independently rated EnerGuide 80 or higher,

which means they use at least 30% less energy than an average new home.

And since they’re built the smart way, they stay cooler in the summer and

cozier in the winter—all while saving you money for years to come.

Layout, amenities, and those much-promoted granite countertops. There’s a lot to think about when you’re buying a new home.

But there’s one feature that can make a positive difference to your wallet when you purchase, and every month that you own your home.

Choosing a Power Smart New Home gives home buyers an easy way to find a home that is designed and built to save energy.

“Buying an energy-efficient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,” says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydro’s Power Smart New Home program. “If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage. But many new homes are not built with energy efficiency in mind - so looking for the EnerGuide label is wise.”

An EnerGuide rating is a standard measure of a home’s energy performance, rated on a scale of 0 to 100. A rating of 0 represents a home with major air leakage, no insulation and extremely high energy consumption. A rating of 100 represents a house that is airtight, well insulated, sufficiently ventilated and requires no purchased energy.

The first benefit you’ll find is on your mortgage insurance: Power Smart New Homes qualify for a 10 per cent refund on Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Mortgage

Insurance. You’ll also save on your monthly bills. Homes

that are rated EnerGuide 80 use at least 30 per cent less energy than an average new home. That’s money in your pocket every month – especially great when energy costs are only expected to rise. Buy a home with a rating higher than EnerGuide 80, and save even more.

The third benefit is resale value; as energy costs rise and green building continues to gain popularity, a home that demonstrates its efficiency will likely hold its value as compared to one that is inefficient with high monthly operating costs.

There are other benefits as well, Overholt says.“Builders who are smart about energy efficiency are

adopting improved building practices and making use of new technologies. Their homes are more comfortable – cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter – while using less energy overall. It’s hard to add energy efficiency later; you need to get it built in from the start.”

The Power Smart New Home program gives you an easy way to find houses, townhomes, and condos that are designed to save energy.

For more information and to find your energy efficient dream home, check out the full listing of Power Smart New Home Builders and featured developments at bchydro.com/pshomes.

Buy a Power Smart home, save three waysSave now, and save later: not many homes can promise you that. But when you buy a home from a Power Smart New Home Builder you’ll save money, including reduced mortgage insurance and lower monthly bills. An EnerGuide label is your assurance that the home is independently rated to be energy-efficient. And don’t forget, an energy-efficient home is more comfortable too.

“ Buying an energy-efficient home is one of the best ways to maximize your

home budget,” says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydro’s Power Smart New Home program. “If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage.”

Deuces will be wild in Richmond this weekend as a pair of Richmond Senior Soccer Association teams host two games in round one of the Provincial Cup.

Islanders FC will meet NFS Inter of the Fraser Valley Soccer League at 11 a.m. Saturday at Minoru Park, fol-lowed by the Athletics and GH Active Earth Engineering of the Vancouver Island Soccer League at 2 p.m. A third Richmond team, the All-Blacks, will play Cordova Bay Bobcats on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. on Vancouver Island.

The winners will advance to the sec-ond of four rounds in the 16-team, single-game knockout event. The fi nal goes May 2 at Burnaby Lakes Sports Complex.

“The provincials provides an oppor-tunity for the top teams from around the province to compete for bragging rights,” said RSSA president Steve Valenzuela.

“We’re proud of three teams from our organization who have captured a Provincial Cup berth. We’ll all be rooting for them this weekend.”

The Islanders are making their debut in the Provincial Cup, after placing third in the RSSA’s Premier

Division during the 2011-12 regular season. Matteo Serka led the way offensively with 20 goals. NFS Inter lost only one league game to top the Fraser Valley league’s Second Division.

The Athletics are coming off a fi rst-place fi nish in the Premier Division in which they went 15-3-2. They also won the League Cup for the fi rst time. GH Active was third in the Island’s Division 3B with a 10-2-4 record.

All-Blacks placed second in the Premier Division this season with a 12-4-4 record. Cordova Bay won the Island’s Division 3A banner by going 12-1-5.
