Its soon Fathers Day again.Not to be a curmudgeon, but from aneditorial point of view, these annual Days(be they Mothers, Grandparents, Valen-tines or Thanksgiving) can be a challenge.Its good to celebrate loved ones and all,

but, really, what more can be said?Still, every year, we strain our brains

trying to come up with something original.We were in the midst of doing that againthis year, kicking around potential storyideas single dads, gay dads, non-custodial dads, or a sweeping treatise onthe state of fatherhood in 2015. But it allseemed a bit forced until that line writewhat you know came to mind.It was decided we would each contrib-

ute a rst-person account, talking aboutfatherhood from different angles: our dads,being a dad, not being a dad yet (nopressure, Graeme).We hope that by providing a few per-

sonal glimpses into fatherhood, as weveexperienced it, we can celebrate thisrather long tradition a tradition that is sounique to each of us, yet woven with com-mon threads. Happy Fathers Day.

! In other news, we generally had positivefeedback on last weeks historical featureabout the Steveston Hotel. However, oneletter writer took issue with a particularquote we included by Rev. T Crosby, whowrote, in 1899, Many nights you couldnot sleep on account of drunken Indians,and more degraded white men carousingaround with poor, deluded women.The letter writer was appalled we would

use derogatory language regarding FirstNations people.The intent was not, in any way, to per-

petuate a negative stereotype, but ratherreect the attitudes of the day.The discussion reminds me of a recent

CBC news story about a First Nationsgroup that was working to preserve and, infact, restore a particular residential school.While many such schools have beenphysically destroyed, as their existence isa painful reminder for survivors, this groupsaw an opportunity to acknowledge thepast and let history be known.Similarly, rubbing out the language of the

past will not help us move forward. In fact,its those voices from history that help usknow why were where we are today.But speaking of moving forward, along

with Fathers Day, its also Aboriginal Day,and a group of young people will be per-forming a Pow Wow in front of the Gulf ofGeorgia Cannery (see page 12.)The past should not be forgotten, but nor

should it be allowed to drown the spirit ofyoung, Aboriginal people embracing theirculture and clearly its not.

THE DIESEL WORKS

Dear Editor,I wish to call upon the City of Richmond

to investigate the impact that so-calleddouble drive-thrus have on our air quality.It sure seems hypocritical to have laws

preventing people from smoking in publicplaces, citing air quality concerns, andthen allow the unnecessary idling of thou-sands of vehicles for approximately ve or10 minutes in an endless toxic parade.Double drive-thrus are a marketing trick

to fool customers into thinking the line isshorter by splitting it into two and thustrapping more vehicles in the order area.However, there is still only one window to

receive your order and the same amountof staff, so a bottle neck occurs. The onlything that doubles is the time you wait and,therefore, the amount you idle.Why is this acceptable? Shouldnt we be

taking steps to make companies do moreto reduce the problem they create insteadof allowing them to add to the pollutionwhile adding to their prots?The biggest offender, in my opinion, is

the recently installed double drive-thru

at Tim Hortons in Ironwood plaza. As along-time customer and concerned citizen,I tried to meet with the owner but was toldby management that he was not avail-able to see me and does not give out hisphone number, e-mail address or returncalls.Perhaps the ne reporters at this paper

can get a few answers for me? From TimHortons, I would like to know what impactthey feel they are having on air quality?From the City of Richmond, I would like

to know if double drive-thrus are beingmonitored? How many prosecutions havebeen made under the current idling laws?Have there ever been any prosecutions?Has the City of Richmond been idle on thisissue?If no prosecutions have been made,

am I to assume that one vehicle idling for10 minutes is not a concern, but a singlesmoker is? Something to think about whileyou are idling unnecessarily for your morn-ing coffee....or is that cough?

Alan BennettRichmond

LETTERSto the EditorCough with your coee?

Time to paint the townDear Editor,A while back, I read about the windfall of

funds the City of Richmond received fromour local casino.Now, Im seeing my property tax go up by

almost $1,000 this year.Given its riches, I wonder if Richmond

could afford to buy some street paint andrepaint some of the crosswalks, centre

lines, stop lines, lane direction arrows, etc.A tremendous number of lane reectors

are damaged or missing. It is becoming aroad safety issue.This is the time of year for getting that

type of work done. Why let it get so bad?Where are the crews?

Dear Editor,Several days ago, my son was

in a hurry to catch a train inRichmond.Without considering the con-

sequence, he ran for the trainwithout validating the pack oftickets I bought for him. He wascaught by the transit ofcer forfailing to produce a valid ticket.Right on the spot, he was handeda $173 ne.Yes, $173. You are not violating

the trafc bylaw like illegal park-ing, which may cost you $35,or speeding your vehicle, whichprobably costs you a hundredsomething.

There are different levels ofpenalty in the Motor Vehicle Actand municipal bylaws, dependingon the severity.TransLinks power to penalize

people is way too arbitrary andout of proportion.For a student, who works for

minimum wage, $173 is a heavypenalty, way out of proportion tothe infraction.How many hours of physical

activity or social life are forsakento earn that amount; even theworking poor cannot afford aticket of $173My son said it was his mistake

and has accepted the ticket as a

pricey lesson; for me, as a par-ent, this situation just illustratesthe unfairness in the penaltysystem.This is a rst-hand experience

of how TransLink sucks the bloodout of an average family trying torely on public transit instead of aprivate vehicle.Furthermore, when considering

how millions of dollars have beenwasted on the Compass Card,and all those failures in opera-tion, there is no penalty, no sorry,from the TransLink side, becauseit is other peoples money.

Dear Editor,Re: Poll Support For Vacant

Home Tax News, June 4,2015.If Coun. Bill McNulty requires

some assistance in differentiat-ing Vancouver absentee home-owners from Canadian snow-birds who spend their winters inFlorida or Arizona, perhaps I canlend him a hand.Ask yourself these questions:1. Do Canadian snowbirds

seek employment in the U.S.?No.2. Do Canadian snowbirds en-

rol their children in the Americanpublic school system while theycontinue to earn considerablewealth in Canada? No.3. Do Canadian snowbirds

utilize any public services suchas social assistance or freemedical care. No. Especially themedical part!3. Do Canadian snowbirds ar-

rive with vastly more wealth thanthe general population of the citythey are living in?Probably not.4. Do Canadian snowbirds

purchase property in existingneighbourhoods with schoolsand other community servicesmaking it unaffordable for local

families to continue living there?Not that Im aware of. I thinkmost Canadian snowbirds livein quiet resort areas designedby developers for the purposesof not only snowbirds but a vastnumber of fellow Americans thatlive there part time as well.5. Do Canadian snowbirds buy

multiple dwellings to get theirmoney out of Canada in hopes ofestablishing permanent residen-cy in the U.S.?No. Uncle Sam will not allow

that to happen.6. Do snowbirds see huge

gains in their property valuesdown south? Nowhere near tothe same degree were seeing inVancouver. If they do squeak aprot, Uncle Sam will certainlyget the lions share of the netprot.Snowbirds go down to the U.S.

to shop, play golf, get a tan andspend their devalued Canadiandollars.There is no lucrative nancial

agenda, no attachments andthey do not expect any obliga-tions of their host country notthat they would get anythinganyway.

The Richmond RCMP Orga-nized Crime Unit (OCU) hasbusted a suspected cocainedrug line, leading to eight peoplebeing charged.The OCU began its investiga-

tion of a suspected drug trafck-ing group in June of last year,with individuals within the grouppurportedly selling cocaine andother hard drugs throughoutRichmond.Richmond RCMP, while

describing the investigation tobe highly complex, resourceintensive and lengthy, man-aged to identify eight suspectsand the drug line was found tohave been selling cocaine, crackcocaine and heroin.On April 21 this year, during

an alleged drug transaction nearLansdowne and No. 3 roads,OCU arrested Randy Rothmanand Tobias Zhuang.And the Public Prosecution

Service of Canada has now ap-proved charges on eight people:Randy Charles Rothman, 46,

of Richmond, (seven countsof trafcking a controlledsubstance and one count ofpossession for the purposes oftrafcking); Tobias Zhuang, 26,of Richmond, (one count of pos-session for the purposes of traf-cking); Randy Bryan Geddes,30, of Vancouver, (ve counts oftrafcking a controlled sub-stance); Tsen Chen Hsia, 28, ofRichmond, (two counts of traf-cking a controlled substance);Desmond Shum, 19, of Rich-mond, (four counts of trafckinga controlled substance); Alex-ander Yamamoto, 29, of Rich-mond, (four counts of trafckinga controlled substance); TimothyAustin Yeung, 19, of Richmond,(three counts of trafcking acontrolled substance); ElsieSevim Yucesoy, 19, of Burnaby,(two counts of trafcking a con-trolled substance).Of these eight, four have

outstanding warrants for theirarrest.The Richmond RCMP will

methodically seek out drugtrafckers in this city, said Cpl.Hsieh, of the Richmond RCMPOCU.

Richmond Mounties are ask-ing the public to keep an eyeon unusual activity in peoplesgardens after around $5,000worth of trees and owers werestolen from someones yard.Blueberry trees, peonies and

hydrangeas were among thethiefs haul from the front andbackyards of the home on Hol-lybank Drive, northeast of theSteveston Highway and RailwayAvenue intersection.Its thought the items were

taken on June 3, however thehomeowner who wasnt living

at the property at the time didnt report the theft until June9.Nine plants or trees were

stolen in total and police believethe City of Richmond construc-tion going on right outside ofthe home at the time may havemade it easier or more invit-ing for the thief, due to sometemporary fencing fronting theproperty.Police say they will have some

difculty tracking down thestolen items because trees andowers have no identication

tags or serial numbers.However, if you see a neigh-

bour planting all of the aboveitems at the same time, theremay be cause for concern, ac-cording to Richmond RCMP.Anyone with information on

the theft is asked to contactConst. Romanko at RichmondRCMP at 604-278-1212 or viaemail at [email protected]. To leave a tip anony-mously, contact Crimestoppersat 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

It was supposed to be a compromise for themost recent round of a decades-long debateon mega homes that has pitted Richmondhomeowners against developers.What we are recommending is a compro-

mise on either side, explained Deputy ChiefAdministrative Ofcer Joe Erceg of the citysnew proposed bylaw amendment, at a four-hour planning committee meeting Tuesdayevening.The changes are meant to manage the

shape of new homes and how they t inestablished neighbourhoods. But neither sidewas 100 per cent convinced.Some spoke to specics of the bylaw

whereas others claimed there was a biggerissue; that being new residents mostly im-migrants who have different ideals.Homebuilder Sam Sandhu said the issue is

never going to go away.Sandhu said he faced discrimination when

he built his large home for his extended fam-ily in the 1980s.He then noted the 1990s brought wealthy

Asian immigrants who wanted to be privateand not converse with anyone. So they toobuilt large homes. This led to jealousy andresentment from established Richmondites.said Sandhu.The camaraderie in the community, the

communication, the social sectors; they startdissipating. What it is is an underlyingproblem that will always exist.What is happening now is a new wave of

Asian immigrants with similar desires, suchas homes with large cathedral ceilings, atthe expense of backyards, stated anotherhomebuilder.A common complaint from others was that

such homes are an assault on establishedlifestyles, as once-private backyards turnedinto walled caverns.The proposed bylaw amendment reduces

two-storey house heights by ve feet, andinterior double-ceilings allowances by fourfeet. Furthermore, accessory buildings willalso be curtailed and setbacks will be bettermanaged so new walls dont loom over otherproperties. However, the proposed amend-ment does not curtail the oor area ratio of anew home, nor does it improve enforcementmechanisms.Neil Cumming, of the Westwind Ratepay-

ers Association, called for clearer languagein the bylaw so it wouldnt be further misin-terpreted. Fellow area resident John Terborgsaid the city needs better design protocolmeasures.But several developers shot back, claim-

ing more time was needed to assess thechanges.Dana Westermark, representing the Urban

Development Institute, suggested a lessprescriptive recipe, as he believes the newbylaw could lead to homogenous homes.He said new homes should create a gentletransition from old to new by comparing thedesign to the older surrounding stock.Coun. Chak Au questioned how subver-

sion could be prevented if the bylaw isntimproved.Coun. Bill McNulty wanted more time for

consultation and described the process astrying to kill a y with a sledgehammer.Coun. Linda McPhail also wanted more

time but councillors Au, Harold Steves andCarol Day disagreed, choosing to sendthe proposal to Richmond City Council onMonday without a decision. A special publichearing is tentatively scheduled for July 6.

!Councillors want Steveston DairyQueen site densiedAt least two city councillors at the planning

committee expressed their disappointmentthat Minato Village would not be redevelopedto include residential units on top of threeplanned retail commercial buildings.Coun. Bill McNulty said more residents

need to live in the area to support Stevestonmerchants. Coun. Carol Day asked forpurpose-built rental units.G and B Estates plans to build three one-

storey commercial buildings with parking,anchored by a pharmacy, the Dairy Queenand other existing shops.The developer said the site is too small to

allow for more parking for residents. As itstands, the site will include 84 spaces.In the end, the committee voted unani-

mously to accept G and B Estates proposal.Should the amended bylaw pass through

city council, it would be applied to potentiallysoon-to-be-terminated land-use contracts,which apply to roughly 4,000 homes in thecity. Such properties allow for much greaterhome sizes than even the existing city bylaw.

Its getting better, but there are still notenough Chinese-Canadians taking part inthe electoral process, according to a Rich-mond-based business organization.To accelerate the trend, the Canada China

Chamber of Industry & Commerce Asso-ciation (CCCICA) has set up a task forceto encourage more Richmond and LowerMainland-based Chinese-Canadians to getinvolved in the federal election in October.After a press conference at its ofce on

No. 3 and Lansdowne roads last week, theCCCICAs chairman, David Teng, said moreChinese-Canadians need to step up as can-didates and/or vote because the next electionis crucial to Canadas economic growth andnational security.(It) is also the only way for them to inte-

grate (into) the mainstream of the Canadiancommunities.Although providing no solid statistics to

back it up, Teng claimed the low turnout atelections was due to a lack of experience ofgetting involved in elections in Asia. Also,Chinese-Canadians often regard themselvesas minority ethnics, with less population and,thus, their votes dont matter much to changethe results of the election.Because the Conservative government

eliminated the long-form Census survey,the most recent prole for Richmond thathighlights the proportion of immigrants whobecome Canadian citizens, was in 2006.Back then, in Richmond, where visible mi-

norities make up the majority of the popula-tion, almost one in ve immigrants in the citywere not eligible to vote in elections becausetheyre not Canadian citizens.According to Statistics Canadas 2006 Cen-

sus, 17,435 out of 89,880 immigrants aged18 and older throughout Richmond could notvote because they werent Canadian citizens.

(Many will be permanent residents, who dontqualify to vote)Nevertheless, Teng and the CCCICA feel

the Chinese-Canadian voice is still not beingheard properly and its election mobilizationteam has a three-point plan to make more ofan impact come election time:Put a call out to Chinese-Canadian citizens

living in the Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhouand Hong Kong regions, showing them how tovote from outside of Canada;Hold candidates forums; Provide transit on

the day of the Oct. 19 election by organizing aeet of volunteer drivers for Chinese-Canadianvoters. Cheng told the News those tactics mayhelp his community, which, he claims, hasseveral bones of contention with the way thecountry is being run.As far as the Conservative Party is con-

cerned, they were not supposed to amendimmigrant policy without communication withChinese Canadians.As for the (Liberal Party), they havent

heard the voices of Chinese Canadians on theissues of legalization of marijuana and so on.As for NDP, they should address if their

economic policy is reasonable and feasible,since Chinese Canadians are more concernedabout economic growth than other aspects.

The Community ConnectionWith Your Richmond MLAs

Imagine a parliament comprised of women. That was my experience this pastweekend in Victoria as the BC Legislative Assembly was host to the CanadianWomen Voters Congress Womens Campaign School.Women from all walks oflife came to learn parliamentary skills in a non-partisan environment.

The Womens Campaign School (WCS) is the longest-running campaign schoolof its kind in Canada. The speakers are veteran elected officials and campaignorganizers from all parties, coming together at this non-partisan event to sharepractical skills and first-hand experiences working in our political system.

The mission of the Canadian Women Voters Congress is to educate, inspire andempower women to participate in democracy within their communities.

If you want to be a candidate, run a campaign, or just be more knowledgeableabout this process think about attending the next Womens Campaign School.Over 500 students have benefitted from participating in the event since 1999.

I believe in public service. I look forward to seeing more women elected acrossthe land, at all levels of government, federal, provincial, territorial, aboriginal,municipal, or school board. Consider the Canadian Women Voters Congresshttp://www.womenvoters.ca

I attended the Campaign School in Victoria this past week-end. I cannot thankyou enough for presenting such an outstanding event. It was top drawer all theway; stimulating, energizing, encouraging, educational, collegial. The speakerswere inspiring, practical and approachable. The atmosphere of the Legislativebuilding was perfect, and the Speaker immediately and graciously put us all atease. I learned a great deal, all of which can and will be put to use. To say thankyou seems inadequate, but it is sincere.Well done.A Recent Graduate

PowWowdances aroundyoga

The downward dog on the bridge has beencanned, and the Pow Wow can now com-mence.There certainly werent many tears shed

in the local Aboriginal community whenan International Yoga Day event to be heldon the Burrard Street Bridge was shelved,prompted by the landmine side-stepping of,rst, Premier Christy Clark followed by eventsponsors LuluLemon.Cries of indignation lled the air when

it became known that National AboriginalDay which already struggles for atten-tion would have to compete for the mediaspotlight when Clark announced the Burrardwould be closed for the mass yoga celebra-tion on Sunday, June 21.The prospect of protests from the Aboriginal

community on either side of the bridge nodoubt facilitated the events swift cancellation.And now the full focus can switch to Na-

tional Aboriginal Day celebrations, includingRichmonds very colourful and dedicatedPow Wow dancers outside the Gulf of GeorgiaCannery.We did have some conversations that went

like, wow, theyve arranged this (yoga event)on National Aboriginal Day? said Jamie Holt,cultural activities worker at Pathways Aborigi-nal Centre, run as part of Richmond YouthServices Agency.It was perhaps a little insensitive, and it

couldve taken even more attention away fromour day.We dont see a lot of focus for our day, and

its really too bad that we cant get the wholecommunity behind it; obviously, wed lovemore recognition for National Aboriginal Day.But this year, we have our Pow Wow

dancers a group of about 10 youth fromPathways. Theyve been dancing together formore than a year.They started last year on National Aborigi-

nal Day, but now theyve had a whole yearof practising behind them, so were all very

excited about the performance coming up thisweek.Holt, who has Aboriginal ancestry through

her grandfather, said each dancer has workedvery hard on their regalia, a term she andothers use as opposed to the frowned uponcostume.Some of them are Jingle Dancers, with

their hands around their hips; some areFancy Dancers; who use a lot of differentmoves, explained Holt.All of them are local and every year in

Richmond, the aboriginal youth do a greatjob. Its not a large population, but we do geta fantastic level of interest from the commu-nity.This year, for the rst time, Richmonds

National Aboriginal Day celebrations will be atthe Cannery, instead of at the smaller Rich-mond Cultural Centre venue.Were going to be right next to the Farm-

ers Market, so were very hopeful of draw-ing a good crowd, said Holt, adding thatRichmond has lots of families with indigenousbackgrounds more than 50 people use thevarious programs at the centre.Richmonds National Aboriginal Day cel-

ebrations kick off at the Cannery in Stevestonat 1 p.m. on Sunday with a prayer fromspecial guest and Musqeaum elder HenryCharles. The main attractions will be the PowWow dancers and a ceremonial traditionalcanoe entrance from the water near thecannery.

COMMUNITY MATTERSFor the good of our community

BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

ast your mind back to the year 1967.Canada was celebrating its Centennial asa country. The Beatles ruled the airwaves.And the Volkswagen Beetle was fastbecoming the iconic automobile of its day.

Back in December, 1967, a 27-year-old Gary Cowellopened his very rst dealership, Cowell Volkswagen,near the corner of No. 3 Road andWestminsterHighway and just up the street, a newly built RichmondHospital, a single tower then, was nishing its rst fullyear of operation.

While Gary is still involved at a strategic level, hissons, Rand and Ryan, are now involved handling theAutomotive and Real Estate development respectively.What a different city it is now. So much has changed,says Rand Cowell. I remember going to the dealershipas kids, says Ryan. Back then it was a quiet placewith all sorts of ditches everywhere, with horsesroaming in elds.

Today, Cowell Auto Group is Richmonds oldestoperating new car dealership, owning not only CowellVolkswagen, but Audi of Richmond, Jaguar Richmond,and Land Rover of Richmond, all located in theRichmond Auto Mall, employing nearly 250 people.

We always grew up around cars and talking aboutcars, says Rand. I love cars, but what I really loveis the combination of people and cars here at ourfamily business. We are really focused on buildingrelationships based on trust for the long term. Thatsvery rewarding.

Today that focus on relationships extends to CowellAuto Groups Community giving as well. A generoussponsor of Richmond Hospital Foundation,Cowell Auto Group has contributed to this yearsrecord-breaking Golf Tournament as well asCommunity Cares Month throughout September andthe 17th Starlight Gala in October to raise funds fornewmedical equipment and improvements to hospitalfacilities.

Health is important. People may forget about havinga hospital hereuntil you need it. Then its reallyimportant, says Ryan, who speaks highly of RichmondHospital and the care the expert team here provides.

In terms of philanthropy and giving, weve beenvery fortunate, he says. Both of our parents havegreat values. They passed those along to us and wereworking with our children now to share those valuesas well, says Ryan. From a business perspective wewant to continue to be in a leadership role in what wedo and at the same time give back to the community

We have a strong culture here focused on caring,says Rand. We want to do things that make adifference. Were encouraging people and employeesto get out there and give. And if others get inspiredby our own actions, even better. The more we can getpeople engaged, the better it will be for all.

Ihave yet to be shackled by theresponsibilities of a wee one and myown father has long since withdrawnhis responsibilities for me. So, FathersDay is a fairly laid-back event, free of du-ties, usually involving some cold drinksand a round of golf.My dad raised

me right. He wasethical, showedleadership andput me throughuniversity. Hes stilla top-notch consul-tant, case in point arecent car purchase.But while my dad

started a family atage 24, I, at age 32have yet to make thatsacrice (glorious, life-altering journey?). Maybe Im a bit self-ish, reaping the benets of a good life.Thats probably how it comes across tomost Boomers who look at the childlessmass that is the Millenials.In fact, its not that. I plan to have

children, and my group of friends is wellon its way with one lighting the matchthat has sparked others to do the same.A big part of the

reason why people likeme are waiting so longto have kids is becausefew of us have any sortof job security (jour-nalism), and housing(Richmond) is out ofreach for most. Thosewho are having kidshave nally reached amodicum of stabilityand had help fromtheir parents. Still,theyre diving into apool with no depthindicators.Im lucky to have

parents who cansomewhat help me.Some most, Ithink do not. So,theres a lot of latetwenty something,early thirty some-thing men enjoyingchildless FathersDays.That said, I have

to be honest andsay, when I look

at a friend or two who do have children,my immediate thought is good God, Icouldnt do that! I really (really) likesleeping in on weekends and blastingmovies past midnight.Recently, I went to Spanish Banks with

the usual cohort. There was Tired Dad,Expecting Dad, Childless Married Guywith Dog (me) and Single Dude.Im still pretty close to Single Dude

because I still have a lot of freedom,relative to Tired Dad.Together were clinging to Expecting

Dad, knowing we soon wont see himwithout a diaper bag for at least sixmonths.Now, at the beach, Single Dude wanted

to continue the evening inVancouver but Expecting Dadhad to bow out for the night.As Married Guy I will, on oc-casion, entertain the thought(usually to watch a Canucksgame) but this time I didntand went back into Rich-mond.Far removed from this con-

versation was Tired Dad.I say this in jest, of

course. I know Tired Dadwouldnt trade anything inthe world for his kids.

With my friends kids, I play the roleof honourary uncle, but Im also a newuncle to my brothers newborn child.These kids are known as Practice Baby.Practice Baby is great. I get to have fun

with them while Tired Dads commiserate.We play games; we eat food; we laugh;and then, when Practice Baby starts tocry, our time is over and its time to golf.

Courage, determination and selfbelief.Those three attributes readilyspring to my mind this Fathers Day whenI think about the path my dad, Terence,took as he guided a family of seven taking them across continents and cul-tures on a quest to settle in progressivelybetter lives.He was just 24 when

he decided topack up mymother and myeldest brotherand leaveCalcutta, Indiain 1957, to seekthe educationneeded to becomea chartered ac-countant in whatwas considered, atthe time, to be oneof the centres ofthe nancial world the U.K.It was the dream

of more opportunity,and the chance tolearn from the best.But it also presentedan odd step backwardsas my parents andthen eight-month-oldbrother, stepped off the

ocean liner and ontoBritish soil.We were

so brought uphaving servantsin India thatthe biggestculture shockwas having to wash our ownclothes, he said with a quietlaugh. Those sorts of mundanechores we never swept ourown oors, cooked, or paintedour houses we paid for thatservice, and it got done.Growing up, Id heard stories

about that type of life in Indiaonce the British had left notliving grand, but in a way thatincluded domestic help for themiddle class society of the time.It was an offshoot from the lifemy grandfather led as a surgeon,meeting and befriending a lot ofinuential people, including ayoung Rudyard Kipling, author ofThe Jungle Book, Kim and manyother reknown novels, short-storiesand poems.But my dad knew that even with

that type of family legacy and the con-nections his father had, the way to abetter life lay overseas, even if domesticlife in England required learning a newset of skills.As my family prospered and grew to

include me, the youngest of ve children,the goal by the mid-1970s was to seekout better opportunity in yet anothercorner of the world Canada. Only thistime, the focus was for the children tosucceed.It was a tough deci-

sion yourmum and I were cer-tainly established inour careers. And when Ithink back on it some-times, it was one (deci-sion) maybe we shouldnt

have made, my dad said.That tinge of regret may allude to the

loss of three of my siblings who passedaway from illnesses in their early 50s.Would a move somewhere else, or no

move at all have made a difference?Of course, its a question with no pos-

sible answer, at least on this plane ofexistence.Still, I admire the condence my father

displayed setting up a new life and a newcareer in Canada in his early 40s.I am doubtful that I would have had

same the conviction to pull up stakes,not once, but twice in my adulthood, andplunge my young family into the relativeunknown of new countries and differentways of life.Its his pioneering spirit that maybe

someday my children will exhibit as itseems to have skipped a generation.

Graeme and his dad taking in around of golf in Richmond.

In honour of Fathers Day, each of us on the editorial team have written a rst-person piece about fatherhood as weve experienced it.For more quotes from dads, see page 25, where fathers and kids at the Steveston car show tell us what it means to be a dad

My dad raised me

.

I admire the con-dence my father dis-played setting up a newlife and a new career inCanada in his early 40s.



Bad dad. Noun. Denition: Shakingyour head, asking your 12-year-oldson, disapprovingly and in utter dis-belief, why, oh, why do you not know howto answer this? while he stares dejectedlyinto the abyss that is his algebra home-work.Good dad. Noun.

Denition: After be-ing told by your sonthat he doesnt wantto referee soccer anymore because hefeels too much pres-sure, you reveal yourpride in him everytime he steps onto theeld with his whistleto do something you,yourself, never had thecourage to do at his age.Would you believe

me if I told you that, just last week, theaforementioned father-son exchanges tookplace within ve Jekyll & Hyde minutes ofeach other?

If youre anything like me, youre prob-ably smiling/cringing and nodding yourhead knowingly right now.But, hey, Ive never purported to be the

Best Dad in the World, despite wearingthe t-shirt Ben gifted me on my very rstFathers Day.Since that day, being a dad has been a

sharp learning curve of astonishment andanxiety chained to a rollercoaster of hon-our, impatience and OMG, really?

There are many times, al-most on a daily basis, when Ilook back and cringe, askingmyself why I said that to himand wishing I could reel itback in and offer somethingmore sage or constructivethan, Is that the best youcan do?Case in point would be

me as his soccer coachfor the majority of hisplaying years so far.This must have been

the bane of his young life,with my coaching frustrations, not alwaysof his making, usually taken out on Ben;as I cant criticise the other kids, right?How he must have loved my detailed

explanations in the car on the way home

from games, imploring howhe needs to tuck in orget wider and higher tomake more of an impacton the game.Of course, like anything

in life, the trick is to learnfrom your mistakes andat least try to be bet-ter, whether its as aninexperienced soccercoach or as a dad toyour child.I like to think Im a

better coach than Iwas six years ago Iknow I make a con-scious effort not totalk about the gameon the way home,although a weecoaching pointoften leaks outnow and again.And as a dad to Ben

who will be turning a new and excitingchapter in his own life in two weeks whenhe becomes a teenager I try harderthan ever, every single day, to think beforeI critique his every move or decision, evenif its with the best intentions.

After all, heis a very thoughtful, hand-some, intelligent and talented young man(from his moms side) and he needs to hearmore about that from me than anything else.

There are a lot of words I could use todescribe my father, but conventionalwouldnt be one of them. In fact,hes so unconventional, he doesnt even tthe label alternative.Were talking a vegetarian who bakes

bread, meditates, drinks hard, swears likea sailor, reads poetry and is generally dis-dainful of long-haired, new age hippies.In other words, not a lot of consistency

a part from the fact he consistentlydees any particular mold.As a youngster, I was generally the

envy of my friends for having a funnydad. His kind of humour is well suited

to the pre-10 set. I remember one timecamping and lling water at a pump whena bunch of kids (aged 5-10) came aroundand were watching us. My dad suddenlylooked up at one of them and yelled, in aslightly goofy voice,Get off of mybike!There was

a moment ofhesitation (as Idied of embar-rassment) fol-lowed by peelsof laughter.This isnt

your bike!It is so.It is not.It is so.Well, you get the idea. That pack of

kids traipsed after him for the rest of theweekend.When my nephew was about six and he

and his family were staying at my parents,he told his mom he wanted to sleep withGranddad, to see if hes as funny when herst wakes up.My dad was also original. Camping in the

rain meant donning bathing suits and play-ing in the mud, and a snow storm meant asnow picnic.Once I hit my teens, however, my fathers

humour seemed painfully corny, and hisside-ways thinking more a source of embar-rassment.I cringed slightly as a classmate ques-

tioned me on the bright orange NDP signon our lawn in Calgary in the 1970s back when 99 per cent of Albertans votedConservative.When I was about 13, we were at some

truly boring school assembly. He had goneinto a meditative state (did I mention hedleft the United Church and took up Bud-dhism not such a radical thing today,but not what dads did at the time.)I hissed with disgust (as only an adoles-

cent can), Dad, wake up!He calmly replied, I am

awake and probably ab-sorbing more than anyoneelse here.Of course, I didnt care

what he absorbed.All I cared aboutwas lookingnormal, and hewasnt helping inthat department.But to quote

Mark Twain,When I was aboy of 14, myfather was soignorant I couldhardly stand tohave the oldman around.

But when I got to be21, I was astonished athow much the old manhad learned in sevenyears.Indeed, that has

been the case. Well...his jokes are stillpretty eye-rolling, but

his willing-ness to lookhard at him-self and theworld aroundhim has beena source ofinspiriationand a big partof who Ivebecome.I was ten,

living in theheart of cattlecountry, whenhe announcedhe was becom-ing a vegetarian,because he didntlike how animals

are treated.There was no suggestion the

rest of the family do the same, butmeat somehow evolved out of ourdiets. While I try not to look likea zombie at my kids assemblies,meditation has helped me through afew of them.At age 87, he continues to push

the envelop: biking, meditating,cursing and enjoying his scotch.But theres more.Last year, while buying him a birth-

day present, I was in a shop that solditems by First Nations artists. I saw acarved wooden penant of a wolf. Myfathers always had a thing for wolves.The artist explained the wolf is oftenmisunderstood. Rather than beingvicsous and alone, the wolf is ercelyloyal and devoted to family.All his colourful character, restless

intellect and corny jokes aside, as afather a true wolf he is.

With summer just a week away Rich-mond just put on some sporty shadesas it opened two public beach volleyballcourts at the Olympic Oval Sunday after-noon.The courts are complimented by stepped

seating in front of the Oval building, as wellas a new lawn and childs play area as partof a waterfront transformation for the northriverside plaza.The Oval has provided volleyball nets and

the courts may be used by anyone from 8a.m. until dusk save for when someone hasexclusively rented them for $15 per hour.By comparison Vancouvers beach vol-

leyball courts can be rented for $5.29, with

special non-prot rates.The courts may be used on occasion for

exclusive rentals, programming or competi-tions and we wouldnt want a group comingdown to the Oval beach only to be disap-pointed that it is already being used by agroup, explained program manager AranKay.Volleyball equipment is not provided and

the net height is locked at 2.24 metres.A few basic rules do apply, such as no

pets, food and alcoholic beverages being al-lowed on the courts and playing time shouldbe limited to 60 minutes when others arewaiting.
