Seafair kids tackle Far East challenge

Seafair’s AtomA1 ice hockey teamwill breathe fire on its opponents at anupcoming tournament in Shanghai, China.It’s the first time a Seafair hockey team

has gone to Asia to play in a tournament.“We’re trying to build our sister

association with Seafair and the teamin Shanghai (and) trying to establish alegacy for both associations for future kidsplaying hockey to have the opportunityto go (overseas),” said team manager EdTien.Parents will chauffeur the 17 players

around Shanghai between the sixscheduled matches this week.Seafair will play teams from Shanghai,

Beijing, Hong Kong, Taiwan and SouthKorea.The young hockey club will also

shower their new friends with all sorts ofhockey related gifts during the weeklongtournament that concludes this Sunday.

“For us as parents we wanted to createa legacy for other teams. It was important

that this inaugural event is as good as it canbe,” said parent William Dennill, a graphic

designer who helped craft some of thegifts, including the Sino-Canadian designon their tournament jackets and pucks.Former Richmond Sockeyes coach

Aaron Wilbur, who travels to Chinafrequently, helped register the Seafairsquad in the tournament.The Vancouver Canucks also helped in

organizing the efforts and star players suchas Daniel Sedin signed memorabilia for theChinese kids.Tournament costs were standard (about

$1,800), according to Tien, other than theobvious flight and hotel bills.China ranks 38th in international ice

hockey, but by anecdotal accounts the sportis becoming more popular as the countrydevelops economically.

Corporate help sought after $25,000 dropSALVATION ARMY KETTLE

Richmond SalvationArmy officialsare looking at increasing their numberof volunteers and securing corporatesponsorships to help run its year-roundprograms to help offset a drop of around$25,000 in this year’s kettle campaign.Major Kathie Chiu said total donations

from the public amounted to around$125,000, compared to $145,000 last year.But it could have been worse, said Chiu as

she marvelled at the generosity of the public

in Richmond who rallied in the last weekbefore Christmas Day to boost the figure.Also reining in the decline was the decision

to slightly reduce the overall number of theiconic red donation kettles placed around thecommunity, instead targeting them for thehighest-producing locations.Skewing the numbers further was the fact

last year’s campaign stretched a couple ofdays longer.Plus, the number people paid to collect

donations — who earn minimum wage fora two to four-hour shift — was reducedcompared to the 2013 campaign.“We decided to go with 17 kettles this year

instead of 25, and cut in half the number ofpeople paid to collect donations for us,” saidChiu who along with her husband Maj. EdChiu run the SalvationArmy’s local operationat Richmond Community Church.Going forward, the number of paid kettle

workers is expected to diminish with hopesthe vast majority will be volunteers.While Chiu did not have an exact number

of paid workers during this campaign, shesaid they constitute individuals in need, or thedisabled who live on fixed incomes.“For many, it may be someone who is not

working and has a spouse who has a low-paying job,” Chiu said. “Oftentimes, the small

amount of money they earn is offset by us notneeding to provide their family with a turkeyor toys for their children at Christmas.”As for the impact on programs heading

into 2015, Chiu said there were hopes tohave a paid position to run a youth ministrycoordinator that also works with families.“We will need to look at filling that need

with a volunteer,” she said, adding therewill also be exploratory discussions to see ifRichmond’s business community would beinterested in filling some donation gaps.People can still make a donation through

the SalvationArmy website at: salvationarmy.ca by clicking on the “Ways you can help.”

NEWS

2015: Promises to be news-packed year

Here’s some of the stories the News predictswill be making headlines in 2015.

Casino reviewRichmond City Council plans to review

how its share of gaming revenue from theRiver Rock Casino and Resort has beenspent and will be spent. Council has no clear,defined set of parameters for how to spendannual casino revenue.Gaming revenue in the third financial

quarter of 2014 hit $5.4 million, a record fora quarter. The year-to-date revenue is $15.4million, which has put the city on pace for arecord cash windfall. The city could collect$21 million this year and casino officials haveindicated there seems to be no sign of declinein gaming at the Rock. Council has alreadyearmarked $5 million per year for the next10 years to pay for the new Minoru pool andseniors’ centre.The city staff review, expected this year,

could set a more concrete policy on gamingrevenue expenditures.

Public consultationPublic consultation and transparency

at Richmond City Council was a constantissue amongst non-incumbent city council

candidates in the last municipal election.While all the incumbents won, their

relative popularity declined. And, despite theimprovement, the city still only has a 32 percent voter turnout, digging itself out of theabysmal category for citizen engagement.Councillors Ken Johnston and ChakAu

have promised town hall meetings and Coun.Carol Day wants to create neighbourhoodmessage centres. What will city councilcollectively agree to do (if anything) tobetter inform and engage its citizens ondevelopments, changes and events in the city?

Election promisesRemarkably, there were few concrete

promises made during the municipal electionfrom those who were voted in as councillors.Mayor Malcolm Brodie did note threespecific items he would like to address:increased services for homeless, and perhapsa permanent shelter; a new or improvedanimal shelter; and a memorial garden.

Compass conundrumThe Translink’s beleaguered Compass

card has seen numerous delays. Last yearthe News, and everyone else for that matter,expected the card — whose system is usedsuccessfully in numerous cities around theworld — to be working last summer. Will

the Canada Line finally see functioningturnstiles? Will buses have a tap-card entry/exit system? Perhaps this is an event for 2016.

Federal electionFor the first time, Richmond residents

will vote for two Members of Parliament intwo distinct Richmond ridings on Oct. 19(tentative date). Incumbent Richmond MPAlice Wong has not officially stated she willrun again, but if she does, will voters chooseto back her again? How will voters judge howPrime Minister Stephen Harper’s policies— economic, environmental, immigration,governance — have affected Richmond?What will voters make of Wong’s insistenceto eat shark fins? Meanwhile, in Steveston,Conservative Kenny Chiu will attempt togo from the school board roundtable to theHouse of Commons. How will a Stevestonriding be different with east Richmondattached to it as opposed to Delta? No Liberal,NDP or Green challengers have been declaredfor both ridings — and the clock is ticking.

DevelopmentConstruction will continue, per usual, in

Richmond’s City Centre and throughoutthe city’s main arterial roads: Cranes androad disruptions should shift from MinoruBoulevard (Kiwanis) to theAberdeen andWest Cambie area as several apartment towersare slated to begin construction; Building willbegin on a city-funded 129-unit affordablehousing complex, named Storeys, forvulnerable residents, in City Centre; Concreteslabs will soon be raised for a Walmart next tothe Garden City Lands; The new Minoru pool

and seniors centre and Fire Hall No. 1 shouldalso take some form come December.

OpeningsThe 30,000 square foot City Centre

Community Centre should be open by thesummer; the first of two Kiwanis Towersseniors homes will open in the spring; theYVR designer outlet mall should be finishedby the late spring; and the RichmondOlympic Experience will open its doors at theRichmond Olympic Oval this spring, as well.

Jet fuel facilityWill VAPOR win its challenge against

the environmental certificate process of theVAFFC jet fuel facility on the shores of theFraser River at Riverport and leave egg on theface of the City of Richmond, which said thelawsuit was futile? The next court date is inmid-February.

Language sign bylawThe city is currently undertaking “public

consultation” regarding the incorporationof official languages on signage at somebusinesses in the city. It remains unclear howencompassing this consultation will be. Willstaff only consult businesses? Will there bea public hearing? Is Richmond City Councilprepared to create a bylaw and have it bechallenged in court? What is an appropriatepercentage of English or French on signs?What is a sign? So many questions after allthese years, and 2015 is supposed to be theyear all of it gets sorted out.

Apair of young Richmond entrepreneursare pointing the way to a bright, businessfuture — with their fingers.Tony Yu, 24, and girlfriend Mikaella

Go, 23, are the duo behind Nanotips, aninnovative, nail polish-like product that whenapplied to the fingertips of your gloves allowsyou to operate touchscreens.And while that may seem like a solution to

a simple annoyance, judging by the number oftouchscreens used in daily life — from smartphones to bankATMs— the market is outthere, and growing.According to Statista, an online statistics

portal that tracks business organizations,Apple, alone, sold a shade over 26 millioniPads in the first quarter of 2014.Those kinds of numbers are giving Yu and

Go optimistic signals after spending the lastyear getting feedback from distributors acrossNorthAmerica andAsia.It took about six months to come up with

the right formula for the product packed withelectrically conductive nano particles which,en masse, simulates the contact skin has on atouchscreen.“It works as a conductive bridge between

your finger and the surface of your glove,”Yu said. “And that tricks a touchscreen into

thinking it’s your skin.”Touchscreens are electrically charged, and

when your finger makes contact it drawscurrent from that point of contact.Yu, a UVIC grad in applied science, did

not have the technical background at firstto produce the formula. But he sought outexperts in the industry and came up with arecipe which has a patent pending.With the novel business developing, the

two boosted their profile with an appearanceon the CBC reality show Dragon’s Denwhere one celebrity investor, Jim Treliving ofRichmond-headquartered Boston Pizza fame,showed interest in investing $60,000 for 15per cent of the company. While that deal onthe show, which aired in mid-November, didnot come to fruition the duo did get somehelpful advice to get them going.Their rising profile also earned them an

invitation to the Ted Talks event in Vancouverearlier this year, putting them in front of ahost of influential business types.“We have been completely astounded at

the interest because this is a pretty simpleproduct,” Yu said. “You can apply it in lessthan a minute and have touchscreen gloves forthe entire winter.“The reaction from people is most always,

‘Why didn’t I think of that.’”Marketing plans are focusing on outdoor

enthusiasts — Nanotips retails for $20 andis available online (nanotips.com) and at

Mountain Equipment Co-op stores in theLower Mainland — but is expanding to theindustrial sector, and beyond.But it’s not just gloves Nanotips is being

applied to. As part of the company’s growthplans, applications for prosthetics are beingexplored.

That, and growing orders have had thetwo shift their operation from a garage to adedicated local production facility.Despite hectic schedules, the demands

don’t feel like work, Yu and Go said.“And looking back at what we’ve

accomplished so far, it’s been quite a leap.”

Bird watchers fromLadner and Richmond werecelebrating, of sorts, afterunofficially pipping “rivals”Greater Victoria in this year’sannual Christmas Bird Count.Bird watchers in Ladner

and Richmond counted 141species, compared withVictoria’s 140.The Christmas count is

conducted on any one dayfrom Dec. 14 to Jan. 5 withina 24-kilometre diameter areathat stays the same each year.Ladner count coordinator

Jude Grass said she waspleased the weather was

mild and sunny, making iteasier to spot birds. It alsoencouraged a greater numberof volunteers to turn out.Last year, Delta finished

second to the Victoria count,due in big part to miserableweather in these parts andfewer volunteers.

“We had a fantastic day.It was supposed to be aterrible, rotten, wet day, but itwas anything but that,” saidGrass.She noted the preliminary

number has Ladner at 141,slightly ahead of Victoria,and that number could

increase with a couple ofother species confirmations,including a great egret, whichis similar to a sandhill crane.The Ladner count, which

includes areas of South Delta,southern Richmond andPoint Roberts, is part of acontinent-wide count.

It’s a new year and time forresolutions. At the RichmondNews, we’ve decided to make

a few ourselves. In the spirit ofrecycling, we again resolve tofoster conversations and bringRichmond readers the news thatimpacts them on a very real,material level.More specifically, we resolve

to drill down on what we sawas two key issues that emergedthroughout the recent municipalelection: development andaccountability.While they can be said in a

word, each encapsulates a hostof other issues — be they signbylaws, affordable housing orthe environment.On the first point, because of

how development has occurred

in this community, we are nowhome to some lovely condo,well-supported communitycentres, excellent seniorsprograms, minimal rental units,prohibitively high housingprices and cultural discord— there are always two sides toa boom.In the next year, we at the

News resolve to connect thedots, point out the ways inwhich each micro decision(decisions such as allowingdevelopers to pay cash in lieuof building a minimum numberof affordable units) has macroimplications.We also intend to show

how decisions to insist ondevelopment fees have resultedin some real jewels — the new

Railway corridor, for example.The point is, for every action

there is a reaction, and that’swhere the accountability comesin. While we celebrate theopening of the new museumat the Oval, a designer mall atYVR or even the construction ofStoreys (an apartment complexfor subsidized residents) wewill make note there is no suchopening for a new homelessshelter or housing co-op forlower, middle-income earners.In other words, there is

nothing inevitable about thegrowth of a city. Rather, it growsone small decision at a time,ultimately resulting in massivechange.Our resolution for 2015 is to

help show the links.

Here are my choices for the topRichmond newsmakers of 2014:1. Glyn Davies (the teacher)

– In October Davies picked upa Prime Minister’s Award forExcellence in Teaching and priorto that, in February, his Grade 7class was a main participant for EducationWeek. As a teacher Davies, also took part ina five-month labour dispute between the B.C.government and the BC Teachers’ Federation,which captured a number of headlines.2. Carol Day – 2014 started like many

others for Day — railing against the LingYen Mountain Temple expansion proposaland rallying support against the planned jetfuel facility and pipeline at Riverport. Shehelped VAPOR form a legal case against thefacility’s proponents and the B.C. governmentbefore stepping down from her executive roleto successfully run for city council.

3. Davood Khatami– The owner of Bean andBeyond coffee shop wasa driving force behindthe StevestonWorld Cupevents over the summerof 2014. Khatami helped

create immense buzz around the village(garnering television coverage) and thenational merchant booths proved hugelysuccessful, particularly on weekends, duringthe World Cup of soccer. The barista was alsoa voice for some merchants who disagreedwith the Imperial Landing rezoning proposal.4. Rob Howard - The former city

councillor and MLA formed a new politicalslate, the Richmond Community Coalition,and stirred up many headlines with a well-coordinated media campaign. He poachedtwo sitting councillors in ChakAu and KenJohnston, who were subsequently re-elected,

and helped three council and two schoolboard candidates run for public office for theirfirst time. The RCC was arguably a factor inthe city’s increased voter turnout.5. Randy Fraser – You might say, “Randy

who?” But for his candor, Fraser was amedia favourite amongst Steveston fishers atFisherman’s Wharf during the large sockeyesalmon run inAugust and September.6. Carolyn Quirt – The activist helped

organize protests against the city’seuthanasia policy for “dangerous” dogs.She also organized the Blue Dot campaignin Richmond, lobbying the city to declare ahealthy environment a human right.7. Claudia Li – The conservationist started

2014 on a campaign to inform the Chinesecommunity about organic food and the valueof agriculture, after running a successfulcampaign against shark fin consumption. Liwas subsequently named anAshoka Canada

Fellow to help empower Chinese youth inenvironmental change.8. Alex von Bruksvoort - von Bruksvoort

was named the Firefighter of the Year in 2014at the local 911Awards. He represents thecity’s firefighters who made several headlinesover the year due to service changes, new firehalls and trucks and the usual heroic acts.9. Evelina Halsey-Brandt – The longtime

city councillor called it a political career in2014 but not before stoking the fire at cityhall one last time by introducing a motion toconsult the public on a potential sign bylaw toenforce Canadian languages.10. Linda Reid – The Richmond East MLA

made a number of headlines for questionablespending of taxpayers’ dollars. First, shemade you pay $5,500 for her husband’s tripto SouthAfrica, for which she apologized andpaid back the money. Then she spent $79,000on controversial office security renovations.

LETTERSPHOTOS OF THE WEEK

Dear Editor,A very interesting situation is developing in Vancouver`s

Chinatown that should bring wry smiles to many Richmondresidents.It appears that Vancouver City Council has approved a 13-

storey high rise condo complex to be built in this community,and naturally enough of the residents are outraged.King Mong Chan, a spokesperson for the community,

had these comments, “ These condo units have very little toreally add to Chinatown but increasing it`s property value. Itreally changes the entire character, and we see from existingcondo marketing is that they are branding Chinatown as thisplace that is cool and hip to come to, but totally ignores anddisrespects the heritage and cultural elements of Chinatown.”Richmond residents who have lived here for more than 25

years must see the exquisite irony of this situation and takecomfort in knowing the anguish that others are suffering.We should invite these unhappy residents of Chinatown to

visit Richmond and we can show them our downtown core ofmany high rises so they can see their future

Dear Editor,I found GraemeWood’s article “Street names tell a

city’s history” News Dec. 24 interesting.I would like to comment on his “Side note: ‘It’s time

to rename the No. 2 Road Bridge.’”I couldn’t agree more with that statement.When the city called for suggestions for naming the

bridge, I’m sure they received many — I know I sentone in.I can’t think of a more boring name for the bridge

than its existing one, and I don’t understand the decisioneither.Yes, it is an extension of No. 2 Road, but it is also an

extension of Russ Baker Way.There was an opportunity at hand to honour one of

our own citizens who has contributed not only to theinternational visibility of this fair city, but someonewho is dedicated to making this world a better place foreveryone.My suggestion was intended to honour one of

Richmond’s more famous citizens; someone whoperformed a great feat and with his continued andundying dedication to spinal cord research, who betterto name a Richmond bridge after but our own, worldfamous, Rick Hansen?

What’s your new year strategy?My tradition with my

children at the startof a new year is to

walk through the old calendarand remember the year past.What did we do?Where didwe go?What days did wecelebrate? What events didwe survive?We ask ourselves, “What

acts of grace did we receivethrough the love and kindness

of others?”and “Whatdid weourselves dofor others?”What

were ourbest experiences and whatwere our most challenging?What did we learn? How

did we grow?I’ve taught my children to

seize eachday — tobe open tospontaneityand thebeauty ofeach day,

and to grasp the fleetingmoments we have to helpothers and make a difference.My children are now old

enough to recognize that we

seem to accelerate in ourpassage through time. Eachyear passes more quickly asdoes each and every day. Touse our time most wisely,we must be more deliberate,consider what matters mostand walk in the direction ofour dreams.The holidays were a time

for celebration, but also anopportunity to reflect.

What are your goals for thecoming year? What is yourstrategy to achieve them?My friend wants to eat

more healthily, and hisstrategy is to eat a saladeach day. To keep it funand interesting, he will usea variety of ingredients,including nuts, beans andfruits.My patient wants to

improve her cardiovascularconditioning. Her strategy isto start aquatic fitness classesat our community pool. Tostay on track and make itsocial, she’s going to go witha friend.Another wants to improve

his relationships, and hisstrategy is to express hispositive thoughts and feelingsabout others. He plans tofollow the example of theDalai Lama who said that hemay still get angry, but hewon’t hold a grudge.Not everyone is keen on

new year’s resolutions. Inelementary school, I had tomake a list each year.Many grownups have

given up this ritual becauseof memories of failedresolutions.But I still make my list of

priorities after consideringthe most important areas ofmy life.Because our time each day

and week is precious, foreverything we add to our list,we must remove somethingelse. How can we decidewhat to do and what to stop?Ask yourself, what brings

greater value to my lifeand the people around me?What must I do?And, of mycurrent activities, which arereally a waste of my time?Consider four questions.1. What should I do

more of? Stretching?Strengthening? Cardioexercise? Calling old friends?2. What should I do less?

Eating out? Snacking?Driving? Drinking withfriends? Watching TV?Working and playing on thecomputer? Looking at myphone?3. What should I cut out?

Smoking? Napping aftersupper? Hanging out withbad friends?4. What should I add to

my life? Language lessons?Meeting new people?Creating art or music?Writing?This is your life. This is

your year.What will you do with it?Dr. Davidicus Wong is

AT THE BUFFET

At some point duringyour middle schooleducation, your

math teacher probablytold you that the shortestdistance between two pointswas a straight line. Theywere wrong. It’s a Subaru.Specifically, it’s this

Subaru, the WRX. Since

2002, it’s been dispatchingsnow, gravel, rain, dirt,mud, and twisty tarmacwith aplomb. Kinda makesyou wonder whether ourmail wouldn’t get therea heck of a lot faster if

Canada Post bought a fleetof them.However, since 2002,

it’s also been just a bitflobbery. That’s not reallyan insult, just that Subarutraditionally set their street-

ready rally-rocket up as ifit was about to complete agravel stage: a softness tothe springs, a bit more bodyroll.Totally redesigned for

2015, this new car is harderedged, more aggressive, andready to shred the street.It’s more hardcore thanever, but have they kept thatutilitarian friendliness?

Design:Well, at first glance,

you’d have to say no.The most major designdifference of this newWRX isn’t the fancy newcorporate grille or thereworked hood scoop; it’sthe sedan-only designation.That’s right, no morewagon.The WRX wagon (later

hatchback) was extremelypopular in past variants,splitting sales volume withthe sedan right down themiddle. It provided a tough,weather-proof alternative tothe VW GTI and was lovedby young families andactive folks alike. Sadly, it’sno more.To its credit, the new

WRX looks pretty good, ifa bit on the plain side. Likeall WRXs, the little detailsgrow on you, and despitethe flashy, angular sheetmetal, those are entirelyreasonable 17” alloystucked under the wheel-arches. Replacement tireswon’t break the bank.

LED headlights are nowavailable on mid-leveltrims, and the body’s justflared out enough froma standard Impreza to besporty — a good start.

Environment:Breaking from Subaru

tradition somewhat, theinside of the newWRX isactually pretty good. Makeno mistake, the Germaniccompetition is still probablyslightly ahead in terms ofpremium feel, but there’smuch less of that oldeconobox plasticity youused to see inside the soon-to-be-rattling interior of aWRX.Even better, the sedan is

a little more practical thanit used to be. Trunk spaceis up to 340L, and reallegroom is up too, meaningadult passengers canactually squeeze back therewithout issue.The seats still aren’t quite

as heavily bolstered as theywere in those first earlycars, but the cloth coveringlooks like it’ll stand up topeople who have multipleMEC memberships, and thedials are big enough to beused with your gloves on.Instrumentation is a

mixed bag, with a handydisplay between the gaugesthat provides a useful digitalspeed readout, and gentlecoaching on how much gasyou’re using.

The centre-mounteddisplay is a little less easyto navigate, and the smallstandard rearview camera ismore a bonus than a reasonto purchase.

Performance:The WRX now gets

a new direct-injected,2.0L flat-four. Huffingplenty of boost througha low-mounted turbo, itout-muscles last year’sWRX by a staggering threehorsepower, for a total of268hp.Okay, hang on a minute:

that’s not the whole story.The WRX’s new, smallerfour is both considerablymore efficient than theoutgoing model, and muchpunchier as well. The peakhorsepower improvementsare only a mild side benefitcompared to the improveddelivery, which now knocksout a stout 258lb/ft from2000-5200rpm.Power falls off a little at

the top end, but this WRXhas a spry responsivenessthat even pro-tuned Subiescan only dream about.With the six-speed manual,off the line holeshots areexcellent. With the optionalCVT, it’s still very quickreacting.Oh right, the CVT. New

for 2015, the WRX is nowavailable with an availabletransmission that seemsselected for its likelihoodof offending purists.However, it’s actuallypretty good: it might notseem like it makes sense toput something as ordinarilyeconomy-minded as a CVTin a car like the WRX, butSubaru has fettled it untilit actually drives like aperformance machine. Flick

the adjustable settings intoSport Sharp and it evengives you eight pre-setspeeds for the paddle-shifters.But if you don’t want an

automatic WRX, nobody’sforcing you to get one - yet.The six-speed manual isa little bit vague, with itscable-operated linkage, butit’s an improvement overpast WRX gearboxes.Regrettably, this is

quite a rough-riding car,but the result is a hugeleap forward in terms ofcornering ability. Subaruseems to have spent theirentire research budget onthe new chassis, and it’sa corker. Equipped with anew torque-vectoring frontend that can brake an insidewheel to dial in more bite,the new WRX turns inlike the old car never did.There’s oodles of grip fromthose stick summer-onlyDunlops, and the car gripslike a gecko through thecorners.Forget any dreams of

Scandinavian flicks through

the twisty stuff – not untilthe snow starts flying. Thisnew car is a much tighterdrive, with good steering,and extremely composeddynamics. Anyoneanticipating track day workis going to want to lookat more aggressive brakepads, but as-is, it’s a verycompelling package.

Features:Now starting at just under

the 30K mark, the ‘15 WRXis actually fairly well-equipped from standard.A 6-speaker stereo, iPodconnectivity, Bluetooth, andthat rearview camera are allstandard.Moving up to the Sport

trim nets you a power seat,sunroof, LED headlightsand foglights – this willlikely be the volume seller.The Sport-tech trim addsin satellite navigation and9-speaker audio: whileusable, the touchscreencontrols for the navi andaudio are a bit to smallto navigate easily. If youcan live without a leather

interior, better to skip thetop-trim.Fuel economy ratings

score well at 9.8L/100kmscity and 7.0L/100kmshighway. As these numbersare provided under thenew 2015 five-cycletesting method, they’reactually achievable– naturally, premium fuel isrecommended.

RICHMOND SOCCER

One heck of a holiday kick aroundAnnual get together at Hugh Boyd showcases outstanding talent that has come through association’s metro program

At first glance, it seemed like a friendlypick-up soccer game among friends tomaybe burn off some Christmas calories.The skill level and tempo suggested it wasmuch more than that.

For the past few years, graduates ofRichmond Youth Soccer’s Metro programand current members of the U18 squad havegathered at Hugh Boyd Park on Dec. 27 fora holiday kick around. The line-ups for bothsides were impressive and showcased whatexactly this association’s rep program hasaccomplished.

There was Colin Jacques dribblingthrough midfield who now playsprofessionally for NK Rudeš in Croatia. Heripped a shot at goal, only to be foiled bysecond-year UBC goalkeeper Ante Boskovic.Watching on the sidelines was Jason James,another local product who also has playedin Europe and soon will be looking to earn aroster spot with the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Remarkably, over 30 Richmond Unitedgrads in the last seven years have gone on toplay at the pro, university or college ranks.

“It’s an incredible (number) and it’s allabout Richmond Soccer,” said longtimevolunteer coach John Gattens. “I don’t thinkwe blow our horn enough about what we doand produce here. “This game is somethingthat started a few years ago with the 1991group. It’s a good time to do it with many ofthe guys back in town.

“It’s all about getting together to play alittle soccer and have some fun. (Laughing)the biggest decision is where are we going togo after the game to have a beer.”

Despite being the smallest associationin the Metro Selects League, Richmondhas enjoyed tremendous success in recentyears, including winning four of five CoastalCup titles in 2012. Even with B.C. Soccerlaunching a high performance league,Richmond United’s mandate has remainedthe same — providing a high qualitytraining and development program at anaffordable cost for players who wish to stay

with their hometown club.The architects behind the success include

longtime player development coach DougLong and current technical director RobertoScascia.

They are helping players realize theirpotential and educating a coaching staff whoare all volunteers.

Gattens’ son Rory was part of a strong1991 group that came through the system.

He went on to play at UBC and Gattensstayed on as a Richmond United coach. Thisyear he is guiding the U18 Metros, alongwith Ted Lorenz who also stuck around afterhis son graduated last season.

“I love working with kids and this isjust a passion I have for giving back toour community,” said Gattens. “It’s prettyamazing what this program has done.

“Roberto is the best in B.C. at what hedoes and taught me so much as a volunteercoach. He is kind of old school where he maynot be warm and fuzzy but ask any of thesekids what he has done for them?”

Just off the top of his head, Gattenscompiled a list of recent Richmond Unitedalumni who have moved collegiate and procareers or attending universities:2008: Michael Branion-Calles (UVic),

Gavin Barrett (UVic), Wes Barrett (UVic).2009: Chase Wickham (University ofAlabama Birmingham/USL Charlotte Eagles,Rory Gattens (UBC), Connor Radil (UBC),AJ Grewal (Northwestern College, Iowa).2010: Cameron Stokes (UVic). 2011: CalebClarke (Vancouver Whitecaps/FC Augsburg,German Bundesliga), Jason James (GNKDinamo Zagreg, Croatia), Declan Rodriguez(University of Milwaukee), Alex Orasa(UBC). 2011: Luke O’Shea (UBC), BryanFong (UBC), Alexander Escobar (Kwantlen),Colin Jacques (SFU/NK Rudeš, Croatia), AnteBoskovic (UBC), Jacob Quail (UBC), FabridMatuk (Teca UTN, Mexico), Jordan Gilles(Langara), Kyle Kemp (Langara), Taj Sangara(Croatia/Langara), Nicholas Chen (Langara),Wassem Baluch (Langara), Rylan Sangha(Kwantlen). 2013: Theo Lorenz (Quest),Connor O’Loughlin (McGill), Liam Doig(McGill), Max Tageson (Quest) Jason Roberts(UBC), Justin Turner-Pearce (Kwantlen).
