CRIME
CHUNG CHOW/RICHMOND NEWS
Sam Lau, right, owner and chef of the celebrated Richmond restaurant Zen Fine Cuisine, is joined by his businesspartner Gordon Jeeves for a glass of wine. Zen has been named one of the top Chinese restaurants in the world outside ofHong Kong by USA Today and the food critic of the New York Times.
DINING
Restaurant rated as one of world’s top for Chinese cuisine
There’s a small restaurant tucked away in Steveston thatis garnering international rave.
New York Times food critic Jennifer 8 Lee, who wroteThe Fortune Cookie Chronicles — A Guide to the BestChinese Restaurants, proclaimed Zen Fine Cuisine as“the best Chinese restaurant in the world outside of HongKong.” USA Today recently dubbed it “one of the 10 greatplaces to savor Chinese food.”
The News decided to check it out. We made a point togo after the lunch hour rush, but at 2 p.m. the eatery wasstill packed with people on working lunches, as well astables of moms and one large table of women celebrating abirthday.
At the helm of this intimate, modern chic bistro is the52-year-old Sam Lau.
It took awhile before Lau, a self-taught executive chef,could come and sit down. As he dabbed a little sweat offhis face, Lau apologized for taking so long.
Lau begins by saying he immigrated to Canada in 1979.He said he only came into the food industry out of neces-sity; not because he had a passion for food.
“I moved here when I was 19, with no real work experi-ence and little English speaking skills, so I had very littlechoice of work,” said Lau. “I could either work in a laun-dry mat or in a restaurant … I chose the restaurant.”
Convicted sex offender seeks bail amid protestsMan connected to two teens found dead last year is arrested in recent police sweep of violent, predatory drug dealers
A convicted sex offender, who was alsolinked to two teenage girls who died withinhours of each other, was in court again onFriday for a bail hearing.
The arrest of Martin Tremblay, 45, thismonth was related to Project Rescue, oneof two major Vancouver police investiga-tions unveiled last week targeting the city’smost violent and predatory drug-dealers.
Vancouver police announced Thursdaythat they’d made eight arrests connected toprojects Tyrant and Rescue and promised
more would follow. While Tremblay wasnot mentioned, Const. Lindsey Houghtonsaid details of his arrest on drug chargeswill be forthcoming.
Families of Tremblay’s alleged victimsand women’s groups from the DowntownEastside, meantime, staged an emotionalprotest Friday outside the Vancouver court-house, concerned that Tremblay could getbail. One protester was a 17-year-old girlwho spoke about her alleged experiencewith Martin.
“It scares me,” the girl said when askedabout the possibility of Tremblay gettingout. “(I want the courts) to keep him in jailand keep him away.”
It was two years ago, she says, thatMartin Tremblay walked into her life, aman described as a charmer who likedto flash his cash and who the other girlsreferred to as their street dad.
It’s the term her close friend, KaylaLalonde, used when introducing her toTremblay that first night the three of them
shared sips from a bottle of hard liquor.Tremblay kept the bottles coming and
soon they went to another house, where sheblacked out. She says she woke up the nextmorning in a car park, half-dressed with noshoes on, but has never reported the inci-dent to police. Lalonde, she says, woke upat a downtown bus stop with no clothes on.
A year later, on March 2, 2010, Lalondewas dead, her 16-year-old body dumped onthe side of the road in Burnaby.

Hong Kong kids flying in with anti-drug messageCops, city, school district, Scouts team up for anti-drug project
In a show of unity, representa-tives from the RCMP, the City ofRichmond, the Richmond SchoolDistrict and Scout Canada showedsupport for a new initiative aimed athelping kids stay off drugs.
The Canadian Youth Drug-Free Project, the brain child of theIntegrated Youth Services Society(IYSS), will see a group of studentsfrom Hong Kong visit Grade 8and 9 students in Richmond to talkabout drugs.
And the visiting teens know whatthey’re talking about. All are formerdrug addicts currently attendingChristian Zheng Sheng College,a one-of-a-kind accredited highschool in Hong Kong. Its studentsare all referrals from social workersand the judicial system.
“It is an extremely successfulprogram,” said Esther Ho, executivedirector of IYSS.
Before immigrating to Canada,Ho was a social worker in HongKong and worked with many youthwho attended the school.
“Their success rate for keeping
kids off drugs is very high.”Moreover, the school has an
excellent academic program, mak-ing employers eager to hire itsgraduates, said Ho.
The combination of academ-ics and drug treatment makes theschool unique as does the factstudents and staff all live on thecampus, creating an cohesive, sup-portive environment.
While there is no such schoolhere, the concept of integration iswell understood to be fundamen-tal in helping kids make healthychoices, said Const. Tammy-LynWalker, a Richmond RCMP officerwho runs the D.A.R.E program inRichmond’s elementary schools.
D.A.R.E. teaches Grade 5 stu-dents about what drugs can do toone’s body, but more importantly itcoaches them in how to make posi-tive decisions.
By while cops in schools canhelp some kids stay on track, forothers the message hits closer tohome when it’s coming from a peer,which is why Ho thinks the Drug-
Free Project, in which kids whohave been there and back, talk tolocal students, will be effective.
“This is our hope that throughtheir stories, the tragedy of what canhappen when dealing with drugs,and the testimonies of coming outof that lifestyle can be a positiveinfluence and inspiration to theteenagers (here.)”
The youth will be in Richmondfor two weeks from Feb. 12-27. Inthat time they will speak with vari-ous school and Scout groups.
Helping youth stay clean, how-ever, isn’t done just by telling themwhat not to do. It’s also done byproviding positive things to do, saidKrista Germyn, a leader with thecity’s youth services department.
Richmond trustee Chak Au saidthe same is for parents, it’s not justabout tell your kids not to do drugs,it’s about being engaged in theirlives.
Airfare for the students will bepaid for by their school, while IYSSwill cover their costs while here.

He began his foray in the hospital-ity business as a dishwasher at his sis-ter-in-law’s Chinese restaurant.
“I hated washing dishes so I made upmy mind that I would be the best cookever,” said the chef.
He moved up quickly, from dish-washer to bartender to sous chef in aHong Kong-style restaurant. Lau saidhe spent hours upon hours experiment-ing with food and learning whatever hecould from the chefs he worked under.
At 32, Lau opened his first eateryin Vancouver and soon expanded toRichmond. It was at Zen Fine ChineseCuisine’s Richmond location that hisfortunes changed. It was March 2008,and Lau was hit hard by the recessionand was about to go bankrupt.
“I only had a few weeks before I wasgoing to have to close when Jennifer 8Lee came in and told me that my res-taurant was the best outside of HongKong,” he said. “I was flattered but Ididn’t know if it would change thingsfor me.”
Before long, Mia Stainsby, theVancouver Sun’s food critic, wrotea front page cover story about Lauand things did turn around. However,Lau still eventually close down his
Richmond restaurant on Alexandra Roadwhen his lease was up. He then part-nered with Gordon Jeeves and re-openeda year ago at his present location.
He calls his cuisine modern Chinesefood, cooked the traditional way but“presented in a Western style.” Lauwas quick to add it isn’t fusion. “I staytrue to Chinese cuisine but I don’t fuseWestern cooking with Chinese, rather Ikeep the dishes simple, fresh and with-out a lot of frying or oil,” he said.
Fresh as in produce and seafoodbrought in daily. In the back of the res-taurant, there is a tank filled with livecrabs and lobsters. “We only cook themas soon as an order goes in,” added Lau.
As the season’s bounty changes, sowill the carte du jour.
Jeeves (who is a well-known execu-tive chef himself, having fronted thekitchen in Vancouver’s tony LumiereRestaurant and the Steveston SeafoodHouse), is a certified sommelier andwaiter when need be.
As money permits, Jeeves plans onexpanding the small, but well-thoughtout, wine list to include 500 reds and125 whites. Many of the wines will behoused in the wine cellar, a strikingfloor-to-ceiling glass vault that sits cen-ter stage in the fine dining room.
The menu offers six set menus rang-ing in price from $33.80 a person to awhopping $160/person. If given enoughnotice, Lau will prepare an off-the-menudinner, with wine pairings.
Zen Fine Cuisine seats 60. For moreinformation, visit www.zencuisine.ca.
Lau: Opened first eatery at 32
Bail hearing: Scheduled for Feb. 3Later that same morning,
another friend, 17-year-oldMartha Jackson Hernandez,
died in hospital after beingrushed by ambulance froma home in Richmond,that was being rented to aMartin Trembley.
Toxicology reports indi-cate the girls died from alethal mix of alcohol anddrugs and police believetheir deaths are linked.
At the time, friends
of the two teens told theVancouver Province thegirls had been hangingout with a man they calledMartin.
During his B.C. SupremeCourt trial in 2003,Tremblay admitted to courtthat he lured the teens tohis home with promises ofdrugs and alcohol. When
they passed out, he video-taped himself assaultingthem.
He was sentenced tothree-and-a-half years inprison and 18 months ofprobation.
Tremblay’s bail hearingwas postponed to Feb. 3 andhe remains in custody.

Twenty-five years afterRick Hansen travelled acrossthe country as part of his ManIn Motion World Tour, hismessage of hope and inspira-tion will return to Richmondin May 2012 with the RickHansen 25th AnniversaryRelay.
Richmond will be among600 communities across thecountry that will welcome therelay, a nine-month journeythat will move east to west,beginning in Cape Spear, NL.Aug. 24, 2011 and conclud-ing in Vancouver on May 22,2012.
“We are honoured to have Richmond a part of the 25thAnniversary Relay,” said Hansen, president and CEO of theRick Hansen Foundation. “I received so much encourage-ment and support when I wheeled through Richmond 25years ago, it’s truly inspiring to encourage a new generation topursue their dreams.”
In 1985, Hansen pushed his wheelchair out of Vancouverand set out on a journey that would make history.
His legendary Man In Motion World Tour spanned morethan 40,000 kilometres through 34 countries; took over twoyears to complete; and raised more than $26 million for spinalcord injury. The Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay willre-trace the Canadian segment of the original Man in Motionjourney, visiting every province and territory and travelling12,000 kilometres. The relay will be made up of 7,000 partici-pants; Canadians who have made a difference, no matter howlarge or small, in the lives of others and who motivate peopleto help make our communities and the world a better place.
While Hansen will be present at a number of cities andstops along the 25th Anniversary Relay, it will be these 7,000participants who will complete this cross-Canada tour andrepresent his spirit and drive.
“Rick is an inspiration not only to Richmond residents, butto those in our province, our country and around the world,”said Mayor Malcolm Brodie.
More information on how to become a participant in theRick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay will be announced inApril.

Apparently, Canada is not in the middle of an election. Butyou’d never guess it from watching the antics of the federal politi-cal parties.
Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff and NDP leader Jack Laytonhave both been on the road with tours that feel a lot like pre-elec-tion campaigns, aimed at beefing up support in strategic ridings.
This week the Tories launched a series of attack ads, paintingIgnatieff as a political tourist out to destroy jobs and hop into bedwith Quebec separatists.
Both Ignatieff and Harper have been keen to point out thatthey don’t want an election. But they’ve insisted the “other side”might force them into it. Expect the political shenanigans to getworse until the federal budget, when the election/no electionissue will be decided, once again.
When’s the last time Canada’s politicians haven’t beeninvolved in election campaigning? For that, we’d have to go backto the beginning of the Conservatives’ minority win.
Shockingly, the sky hasn’t fallen since Canadians opted for aminority government.
But the ability of the Tories to work with the other parties inthis scenario has left much to be desired. Rather than workingon the art of compromise, our minority government has largelytranslated into an unofficial yet continual state of campaigning.
Not many Canadians are keen on an election.But equally unappealing is an ongoing undeclared campaign
that trumps the business of government.
Tories, race hasn’t started, yet
Not time for campaigns

I had my feet proppedup on the coffee table, mybackside firmly planted onthe couch, and a glass ofwater in hand. My brainwas in neutral, happilyzoned out while the TVmade stupid sitcom noisesat me. When the commer-cials began, I almost did aspit take.
A political attack ad?Did somebody toppleParliament and I missed it?
No, but the Tories areacting like an election isright around the corner.
The five years of minor-ity government recentlymarked by Prime MinisterStephen Harper have madeall the parties twitchy. TheNDP has built itself a newelection war room. TheLiberals are again talkingabout being ready to leadthe country.
But it’s the Tories whoare off to a false start. No,Mr. Harper, that was notthe sound of a starter’spistol you heard. Get backto the line. One more faultlike that, and the votersmight actually disqualifyyou.
There are several attackads, but the first one I sawwas the worst. It features aseries of short, out-of-con-text snippets from LiberalLeader Michael Ignatieff’sspeeches and writings, allplayed up to make it looklike Iggy hates Canada.
After a black and redand white montage, we geta still shot of Ignatieff, withthe grim-but-ambiguousstatement: “Ignatieff. Hedidn’t come back for you.”
The ads come in a cou-
ple of flavours, one whichclaims Iggy came back justto raise taxes, the otherquestioning his patriotism.The net effect of watchingthem back-to-back is thesuggestion that Ignatieff isa cross between VladimirLenin, Vidkun Quisling,and a troll living under abridge.
The most baffling partis when they quote Iggy assaying he wishes Canadawas better.
Yeah, just what we need,a politician who wantsto improve things. That’swretched.
The Tories have alsotaken the time to make anad attacking Jack Layton,NDP leader and chiefmoustache farmer. This oneends with the ambiguous-but-grim line: “He did itbefore. He’ll do it again.”
This is in reference toattempted alliances withthe Grits and the BlocQuebecois to bring downthe Tories, apparently. Yeah,remind people there’s apossible coalition govern-ment out there! What hasLiberal-NDP cooperationever given us? Universalhealthcare? Bah!
Seriously, the Toriesshouldn’t have wastedtheir money on theseads. They’re far too per-sonal, especially the one
questioning Ignatieff’spatriotism. Demonizingyour opponents is preach-ing to the choir. Die-hardConservative supporterswill nod along in agree-ment, but a swing voter isnot going to watch this andthink, “Yeah, that Ignatieff,he’s a jerk.” They’re morelikely to get mad at thebullies kicking sand in theskinny Liberal’s face.
I’m most baffledbecause Ignatieff haslargely been his own worstenemy over the last coupleof years.
The Grits have barelycome within shoutingdistance of the Tories inpolling numbers. Ignatieffcould easily win an electiontomorrow, if his opponentswere a damp cloth and abag of road salt.
Sure, Iggy has a bitmore charisma than Harper,but that doesn’t matterthat much to Canadians.We like our politiciansclever and a bit nerdy. (Ourfederal political leaders:Conservative – economist,think tank dork; Liberal –novelist, historian, Oxfordteacher; NDP – politi-cal science major, policywonk.)
The worst thing aboutall of this is that I suspectthere won’t be an electionat all. This is approximatelythe 1,943rd election scaresince Harper first got elect-ed five years ago. We’vehad one actual election inthat time.
Matthew Claxton isa reporter with News’ssister paper the LangleyAdvance.
The Editor,If you’re car pooling with me, while I’m driving, please
don’t talk to me. As far as that goes, please don’t ask me to turnthe radio on or offer to buy me a coffee and muffin at the drivethru either. Law enforcement has been given a direct order toseek and cite “distracted drivers” this week.
Of course, they’re targeting the cellular users, but eating,drinking and applying make up are also part of the campaign.By extrapolation, talking to a passenger (because of the “faceto face” action), and listening to the traffic report are also con-tradictions of the law. Understandably, there must be “probablecause” for an officer to effect a citation, so if steering with theknee, while touching up the lipstick (or beard stubble — gen-der fairness), causes the car to wander out of the lane or net aresounding honk from a fellow motorist, then you could get theinvitation to The Policeman’s Ball.
Police, fire, and ambulance drivers are trained to deal with amyriad of distractions while driving. From sirens blaring, speed,uncooperative drivers, the radio and laptop chatter, they’ve got alot of stuff to process.
Why can’t we be trained? Maybe not to speed down the roadwith a siren belching our urgency (although that could be nicesome days), or having a Skype conversation with the overseasclient, but just a good lesson in defensive/adverse condition driv-ing. The licencing process has become very strict and thorough,so why can’t driver training be part of the mandatory qualifyingprocess? Training won’t eliminate accidents, and as this week’sincident with a fully qualified, trained, police officer and apedestrian showed, “accidents happen.” They can be “lessoned.”
Be safe. Drive safe. Get there late AND alive.Steve Seaborn

The Editor,Re: “City plans to fund six artistic
benches,” News, Jan. 28.I opened the News and having just read
that the city is raising property taxes by2.9 per cent, they have now decided thatwe need to spend $50,000 on six “decora-tive public art-style” benches.
It is high time someone got a leash onthe spending by Richmond City Councilon things that are outrageous.
$7,500 per bench, where does coun-cil think we live, in the land of “moneygrows on trees?”
Apparently they think despite therecently announced tax increase we havea need to place five park benches aroundRichmond.
And has anyone heard how much theconcrete monolith the city spent nearlya year erecting at the entrance to HughBoyd Park cost?
The city has been very quiet about thecost of that, with its completion yieldingno fan-fare at all.
With its 16 concrete orbs scatteredthroughout, the cost of this to taxpayerswas staggering, in the hundreds of thou-sands of dollars, but no one has heard aword.
And was there a need for it, once againno.
The list of park’s board spending thisyear alone is incredible, on projects thatmakes one wonder what value our councilputs on taxpayer dollars.
$350,000 to project images on the win-dows of the oval; a proposed $830,000on a skateboard park at ThompsonCommunity Centre; $350,000 to give theLawn Bowling club artificial turf, andof course there is no cost figure releasedfor the construction at the entry to HughBoyd.
And yet in parts of Richmond theynever see a street sweeper, nor can theyget the weeds cut down on their walkwaysand curbs — no money they say.
And our property taxes will be goingup, again. What a surprise.
But when my wallet is empty, I canalways go over and sit, hopefully, on oneof these new artsy benches and watch thehandful of lawn bowlers using their newartificial turf, or perhaps they will placeone of those benches where I can see theimages being projected at the oval.
Or maybe I will learn to skateboard atthe near $1 million park we are building.Spending by council has gone completelyoff the rails and it should be rememberedcome election time.

The Editor,The definition of “entre-
preneur,” is one “who orga-nizes and directs industrialenterprises,” and incidently,uses his own or his compa-ny’s funds to do so.
And then we have ourlocal politicians! Thesewould be, small-time, non-investor entrepreneurs, have
a high old time with thecivic funds they are sup-posed to safeguard and usewith wisdom. Hah, fainthope! These people don’thave a clue, and what’sworse, have a bunch ofsimilarly unqualified, over-priced mandarins to advisethem.
So, we have costly whiteelephant projects such asthe recent lamented TallShips fiasco.
Never a hope of successdue to time constraints, novalid cost benefit analysis,but WHOOPEE, lets toss acouple of million bucks inthe pot and see what hap-pens! Well, now we seewhat happens. We end upwith an expenditure for anunnecessary set of floats,(anyone need to tie up theirkayak?), a huge expenditureon P.R., and guess what,NO TALL SHIPS! Netresult, $2 million down thetubes.
A previous “go forbroke” exercise left us witha $3 million per annum costfor a private exercise cen-tre for (read the numbers)2,600 people. Gee, wasn’tthat a real neat deal.
Just two weeks of skat-ing, and now years of pour-ing cash into the owe-val!
But wait, we aren’t done
yet. The council (that knowsnothing), has decided toput the city into the energybusiness!
This West Cambie dealhas the potential to cost usall a bundle, and judging bypast performance, it prob-ably will!
Now, by sheer coinci-dence, the loss, and whatelse can we call it, of $5million on the first twoprojects, comes close to themandarins’ estimate of anincrease in the operatingbudget of $4.55 million!
And of course, whereelse to get it, except to bootup the taxes for you and I.
I have no idea why thepeople of Richmond put upwith this farcical collec-tion of small time gamblers(with our money), and I canbut dream that this will betheir last grab at our taxes.
Hopefully the upcomingcivic elections will pointthem all in the directionof the pasture, where theyshould be sent to live outtheir days in well deservedobscurity!
Vote Them All Out,and perhaps we can findsomeone with at least a fewworking brain cells, to gov-ern our city responsibly.

On my office wall I keepa quote from the great liter-ary theorist Northrop Frye.It reads in part: “…the artshave something to teachbeyond themselves, a way ofseeing and hearing that noth-ing else can give, a way ofliving in society in which theimagination takes its propercentral place.
“Just as the sciences showus the physical world ofnature, so the arts show usthe human world that man istrying to build out of nature.And, without moralizing,the arts gradually lead usto separate the vision of theworld we want to live in fromthe world that we hate and
reject...”I always return to this
quote when I feel dispiritedabout the work I do, as itreminds me of the broaderprinciple and the experi-ential wealth I have inher-ited through my exposureto the arts. Arts, culture andheritage are often viewed interms of the “nice to have,but not essential” category,particularly when it comes
to the matter of funding, butas Frye reminds us, the artshave a much more significantand intrinsic meaning that isoften overlooked in the bot-tom-line mentality.
Because the arts engageus on both an emotion andintellectual level, we learnmore about ourselves — ourmotivations, prejudices,assumptions — and throughthe self-examination it pro-vokes, we learn to take a newview on the world.
Arts awareness alsoincreases our visual literacy,and therefore makes us more
critically aware of the under-lying messages conveyedthrough the images we see inadvertising and other popularforms of media.
Numerous studies into thesocial benefits have shownthat the whole communitywins when individuals par-ticipate in the arts.
By encouraging open dia-logue, social skills and criti-cal thinking are expanded,while the enjoyment andsocial interaction that takesplace helps improve people’shealth and wellbeing. Art

Community
projects with at-risk youth have shown that italso helps build family cohesion, teamworkskills. Giving people the means to expressthemselves in a non-physical manner posi-tively affects violence and bullying.
The critical thinking that comes alsoincreases tolerance of difference and socialbonding, and induces a sense of civic pride,community engagement, and promotes politi-cal dialogue, the transfer of values and ideals,and helps induce a sense of belonging.
Though I have been talking specificallyabout the arts, I would also like to point outthat cultural and heritage participation hassimilar benefits. Awareness of the past createsa stronger society and a sense of the future,where many possibilities are recognized. By
preserving our past, we promote a civil soci-ety and improve the sense of social inclusion.Safeguarding heritage also gives a communitya sense of what is possible and an understand-ing of what type of lived environment wewant surrounding us.
Richmond is fortunate to have a wealth ofarts groups, cultural activities and heritagesites that reflect the dynamism and diversityof our community. As the Richmond WinterFestival of the Arts begins, we have theopportunity to explore all that we have to beproud of right here at home.
Lynn Beavis is the director of theRichmond Art Gallery. Thoughout the sixweeks of the Winter Festival of the Arts,Beavis will be contributing a weekly columnabout the arts to the Richmond News.

Face your guilt, then let it goCaregivers are notorious for
the amount of guilt they carryaround. For the most part theyare unprepared for how much itweighs, how much it weighs usdown.
Often guilt feelings may liedeep inside us and surface underthe guise of compassion andduty, maybe even sadness andloss. Many of us remind ourselves ofour parents’ sacrifices. They clothedand fed us, treated us to as much of the“good life” as they could afford: oftendid without in order to treat us to a newsecond-hand bike. What a price someof us have paid for those years whenwe were “given to.” And now some feelit is our turn, our turn to sacrifice ourtime, our spouses, our children. Thisself-sacrificing behaviour creates agreat sense of obligation and guilt.
We can feel guilty over the mostabsurd notions. Some women actuallyfeel guilty for sleeping with their hus-bands because their widowed mothersare all alone. Actually, your mother
might prefer her new bed socks andheavy duty flannelette nightgown,although she’d never admit it. I usedto feel guilty about having a massageafter spending a stressful weekend withmy 80-year-old mother. She had neverhad a massage in her life and wouldn’taccept one if her life depended on it. Insome sense maybe I deserved the guilt.I wonder now if it was a way of balanc-ing out the tough feelings.
People who feel guilty make unre-alistic demands on others and expectthem to do as much as they do. Theyvisit too often and stay too long or notvisit at all. Too many caregivers feelguilty for putting their loved one in anursing home and feel uncertain as to
whether or not they did the rightthing. It’s a tough decision butmost often you did the best youcould under the circumstances.In every caregiver course I havetaught over the years there hasnever been a guilt-free person.
The best way to relieve guiltis to accept that you can’t beeverything to everyone all of
the time. Acknowledge you limitations.Prioritize your daily tasks. Caregivingtasks are more important than household tasks.
Unmade beds are not important.Quit trying to be perfect. Ask for help.Stop trying to keep things as they werein the past. Guilt will start to weigh lesswhen you stare it in the face and refuseto carry it around.

The McMath Wildcats juniorgirls basketball team is showcas-ing an entertaining and confidentstyle of play — posting their15th consecutive win this pastweekend en route to capturing theBurnaby South Tournament
The eighth ranked Wildcatsbring high energy to the floor,excelling in fast breaks and beingvery sharp defensively with greatability to guard the ball.
Pete Tyler believes this is oneof the most complete junior
teams he has ever coached andin order to get even better, he hasexposed his girls to some of thetop competition around the prov-ince.
To start this season, McMathfinished second to number tworanked Brookswood in the YorkHouse Tournament. In mid-December, the Wildcats traveledto play in the Victoria ClassicTournament where they finisheda respectable sixth of 16 competi-tive teams — narrowly losing in
round robin play to top rankedSouth Kamloops and fifth rankedOak Bay.
Since then, the ’Cats have notlost in league or tournament play,finishing first at Handsworth,then at Burnaby South where theyaveraged 74 points per game andallowed just 30.
The results included animpressive 84-36 win overKillarney, the Vancouver district’stop ranked team, in what Tylerdescribed as a “statement” game
for his squad.The team’s balanced scoring
makes it fun to coach as differentplayers step up every game.
“The players come out to playand play hard, but also play smartas a team,” he said. “Each playeris elevating their play every gameand the bench strength is verystrong contributing at key times.”
All of this bodes well headinginto the Richmond playoffs, Feb.14-17.
Tyler is confident the team
also has an opportunity to makea good run at the Vancouver andDistrict Championships which theWildcats will host, Feb. 22-24.
The roster includes SiobhanFernandes, Katrina Tan, MeganClarke, Danielle Kiss, CamilleRobinson, Natasha Magnus,Katrina Tolentino, EmmaPartridge, Hilary Schaap, TaraMacKinnon, Charlotte St. Cyr,Kim Herrera, and Danica Llaneta.The coaching staff also includesJustine “Punky” Oye.
Wildcats eighth in B.C. junior girls basketball rankings
The McMath Wildcats are knocking onthe door for “AAA” senior girls basketballsupremacy in the city and Les Hamaguchican hear it loud and clear.
The veteran coach of the Steveston-London Sharks has watched his squadsqueak past his nearby rivals in a pair ofgames this season, including Saturday’s53-52 thriller in the finale of the WildcatClassic. The teams are destined to meetagain in the upcoming Richmond playoffsand Hamaguchi suggests his girls betterbe ready.
The outcome was about the only thinghe was happy about as the Sharks did justenough to capture the eight-team event.
“I have mixed feelings about goinghome with a trophy that I don’t think wedeserved,” said Hamaguchi. “I was justnot happy with our effort and preparation.
“All the intangibles coaches want tosee, and I thought McMath outperformedus in all of them. We probably have moreskill than they do, but at the end of theday, coaches want to be ahead in those(critical) areas and I don’t think we weretoday.”
The Wildcats had several opportunitiesto pull off a dramatic win on their homefloor but were held scoreless in the finaltwo minutes of play. Still, it was a deter-mined effort that bodes well with the post-season looming.
“I thought we played our best game ofthe season tonight,” said McMath coachNathan Kishi, a former student who is inhis fourth-year coaching at the school.“We have got a bit of a rivalry going withthem over the years and the best experi-
ence you can get going into the playoffs isclose games like that.”
If the Wildcats are to continue theirreign as city “AAA” champions thenthey will need more production fromthe perimeter, especially with the Sharksenjoying a height advantage in the post.
“We have to hit more outside shotsbecause we are a smaller team,” addedKishi. “If we can just hit a few more, itchanges the whole game. We will defi-nitely see them in the playoffs and wedefinitely have proved we can play withthem.”
Hamaguchi sees a similar script to ayear ago when his squad lost to McMathin all three games, but margin shrunk eachtime.
He hopes the Wildcats are as close asthey are going to get.
“We were in McMath’s shoes the pastcouple of years where they were thesuperior skilled team but we kept gettingcloser to them,” he said. “That’s probablywhat’s happening here.
“Part of the learning process is, some-times when you are young, you don’t real-ize hard work and playing to the top ofyour ability will equal skill.”
The Sharks had to fight their way tothe tournament final as well. They slippedpast Burnaby South 58-52 in their openinggame, then held off Lord Tweedsmuir 48-45 in the semi-finals. It was an easier roadfor the Wildcats as they rolled past Magee45-17 and defeated South Delta 58-34.
Steveston-London is 6-0 in Richmondleague play with a big test nextWednesday against the city’s other unbeat-en McNair (6-0). The Marlins are an hon-ourable mention in the latest provincial“AA” rankings.
