Midget Tournament 15

Ashton Caring Team leading way to build accessible home for 12-year-old Steveston girl

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

It started small as most things do, but having lunch with the Man in Motion quickly changed that.

As Brian Williams sat across from Rick Hansen—the man who wheeled around the world raising money, awareness and hope for people with spinal cord injuries—he heard the story of Emily de Boer. Emily, a bright, athletic 12-year-old Steveston girl, had recently lost the use of her legs follow-ing a surgery that went wrong. On Feb. 14, 2011, an attempt to correct a spine curva-ture left her a paraplegic.

Emily needed a new bathroom—some-thing right up the alley of Williams’ Rich-mond-based company, Ashton Service Group. But Williams and a growing army of volunteers decided to do one better: build the family an entirely new house.

‘We needed to start over’During a visit home from the hospital

last year, the de Boer family was hit with the understanding their newly-renovated Steveston house wouldn’t be their home for much longer. It wasn’t accessible, and altera-tions would be too costly.

Dad Grant carried Emily upstairs into the living room, where the family cat found a place to rest in a familiar lap. But when the cat darted down the hall the family fell silent.

“It was a very sad moment because she couldn’t run after the cat,” said mom Char-mis. “That night she said to (us), ‘I don’t think I can live here.’ We needed to start over.”

They did, selling the home and buying a fixer-upper nearby. An architect drafted plans for another renovation.

Meanwhile, Williams and his wife Ju-lie arranged to have dinner with Emily’s parents to hear the whole story. The next day, Williams knocked on the door of the de Boer family’s “new” house. What he saw

was an old two-storey dwelling that needed a lot of work. It had a pool—Emily took up swimming again—but it wasn’t heated. And without an elevator, Emily was trapped downstairs.

A caring teamWilliams, a father to three boys, was moved

by Emily’s story, and shared it the next day over breakfast with a supplier, who immedi-ately offered to donate bathroom fixtures. That had Williams thinking.

He approached his friend and contractor Ken Johnson. The pair had previously completed a similar renovation project for a Richmond firefighter paralyzed from a highway accident. Johnson didn’t hesitate to help again.

Renovation costs were tallied and the pair

approached the de Boer family a few weeks later with more than just sketches for a bathroom.

“I think we should knock it over,” Williams told them. “Go find an apartment or house close-by and give us a year.”

Williams and his wife formed the Ashton Caring Team—focused on community involve-ment, volunteerism and corporate responsibil-ity. The concepts weren’t new to Ashton, but the scale of the project led the company to organize its efforts under one umbrella.

From Page 3Things started moving quickly.

Williams started talking to friends and associates and offers to help began to pour in: lumber, ply-wood, roofing materials, windows, electrical supplies, kitchen cabi-nets, labour. So far 30 organiza-tions or individuals are on board to help with what’s now being called “Project Emily.”

“The outpouring so far has been amazing,” said Williams. “Someone yesterday sent me a very large cheque. I couldn’t even phone him because I was so blown away by it… There’s a lot of compassion here.”

Wall of GivingThe de Boer house on Springhill

Crescent—the one the family had originally planned to renovate—was flatted Dec. 15. Planned is a new 3,400-square-foot home with wheelchair accessibility at the top of the architect’s list.

Williams said the house is scheduled to be finished by late 2013—and give Emily some of her life back. Light switches will be within reach for Emily, and she’ll be able to open the front door, go upstairs in an elevator, make

her own meals, take showers and access a heated, barrier-free pool outside.

Williams said his goal is to build the $500,000 house with the least amount of money from the de Boer family. His hope is to have the entire cost covered to help the family cope with future expenses.

A four-by-eight-foot sign is scheduled to be installed this week at the construction site to recognize donors. It will be called “Emily’s Wall of Giving.” And as the site is prepared for a new foundation, Project Emily is still seeking help from the community.

Cash donations are needed, as is volunteer labour. A fundraiser is planned for the new year and a website (ashtoncaringteam.org) has been set up to co-ordinate donations.

“If everybody just gives a little, we can really model ourselves off the Free the Children motto, ‘From me to we,’ really quick,” said Williams, still amazed at how the project has come together so quickly. “I don’t go to church on Sunday, but I do figure that I’ve been pretty blessed somehow. It’s amazing how fortunate we’ve been.”

The de Boer family is now tem-porarily living in an apartment. Mom Charmis admits to nervous moments, especially seeing the flattened landscape where their house once stood, but said it warms her heart thinking of the support her family has—even from strangers like Brian Williams.

“He’s an angel, he really has no reason to be doing this. He just is.”

Making an impactWilliams’ company Ashton Ser-

vice Group is one of the founders of the Caring Companies Program, a joint community initiative with

Volunteer Richmond Information Services and the Richmond Cham-ber of Commerce.

The program brings together like-minded businesses wanting to make an impact in the com-munity, and provides the tools, resources and connections to make it happen.

Volunteer Richmond’s executive director Elizabeth Specht said Ashton’s commitment to the com-munity—both the company and employees—is “awe-inspiring.”

“It’s just so obvious that Brian through his leadership, and now throughout his staff has created a culture of caring,” she said. “The de Boer project is the ultimate of culture of caring. It’s phenomenal what Brian and others are com-mitted to and are bringing others along to do with them.”

Richmond Cares is a continuing series about Richmond individu-als, groups and businesses who are making a difference for people in the community.

Anyone missing a boat?On Thursday, Richmond

RCMP released photos of a row boat that mysteri-ously appeared in front of a residence in July in hopes that the rightful owner is located.

On July 25 around 7 a.m. Richmond RCMP received a phone call from a wom-an in the 10000 block of Shell Road to report that a row boat mysteriously appeared in front of her house over night.

The boat appeared to have been dumped on the west side of Shell Road and is described as a blue 12-foot, two-per-son rowboat with a single paddle and wheels. A se-rial number was located, but e� orts at locating the owner by this means yielded no results.

If you are missing a row-boat & believe that the rowboat pictured is yours,

call Const. A. Cheema at 604-278-1212.

TransLink keeps FareSaver prepaid ticket prices frozen

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

Most transit fares in will rise at least 10 per cent in January as TransLink moves to wring more cash out of riders.

And monthly pass hold-ers and West Coast Express users will pay 12.5 per cent more than they do now.

The fare increase will generate an estimated $32 million for the trans-portation authority and the impact depends on what type of ticket or pass is bought.

Cash fares will rise Jan. 1 from $2.50 to $2.75 to trav-el one zone, from $3.75 to $4 for two zones and from $5 to $5.50 for three zones.

The one-zone conces-sion fare of $1.75 for se-niors and students will be unchanged, but two-zone concession fares go from $2.50 to $2.75 and three zones rise 25 cents to $3.75.

Monthly passes jump to $91 (up from $81) for one zone, $124 (up from $110) for two zones and $170 (up from $151) for

three zones.Concession passes rise to

$52 from $45.50.A day pass will now cost

$9.75 or $7.50 for the con-cession rate.

HandyDart custom tran-sit users will also see their fees go up.

TransLink has the legis-lated power to raise cash fares two per cent a year, which enables the 10 per cent increase because cash fares haven’t risen in the � ve years since 2008.

The prices of prepaid FareSaver tickets remain unchanged, as they were increased in 2010.

TransLink spokesman Drew Snider was unable to provide estimates of how much transit demand might be dampened by higher fares. “We’re ac-tually seeing transit de-mand grow substantially each year,” he said, adding

it was a “di� cult choice” to increase fares.

Fares generate one third of TransLink’s revenue, with most of the rest com-ing through property tax and fuel tax.

TransLink wanted to raise fares even higher —by about 12.5 per cent overall—but the portion of the proposed increase beyond the rate of in� a-tion was rejected by Trans-Link Commissioner Martin Crilly last spring.

One zone rates apply on transit no matter how far a passenger travels after 6:30 p.m. and on week-ends and holidays.

This may be the last year that conventional tickets and passes are issued. TransLink will introduce its Compass smart card in late 2013, which is to become the new method of pay-ment in the system.

They’re well on the way to stop-ping the expan-

sion of oil exports to Asia. Now will B.C.’s American branch-plant environmental machine turn on natural gas?

A couple of weeks ago I described the dispute between the Haisla Nation and the rest of the Coastal First Nations group over the pioneering of liquefied natural gas development on Haisla territory at Kiti-mat. Powerful chiefs of the

Heiltsuk, Gitga’at, Haida and others in the so-called Great Bear Rainforest op-pose the idea of kicking off a new LNG export in-dustry without extending the hydro grid to support renewable power for the region.

LNG is shaping up as B.C.’s largest-ever indus-trial project, if it gets built. And there are signs the American-directed envi-ronmental attack is swing-ing to our gas boom.

Some in the Canadian media insist no such U.S. influence exists, or that it is trivial and benign. They mock federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver’s description of “for-eign radicals,” pretending this applies to everyone opposed to oil pipelines.

There weren’t many reporters with me when I covered the negotia-tions for the Great Bear Rainforest in 2006. To the Vancouver media it was just a big forest deal up in the middle of nowhere. Along with B.C. cabinet minister Pat Bell, Coastal First Nations and forest

companies, the Sierra Club, ForestEthics and Greenpeace muscled their way to the table.

How they did so became clear in early 2007. Behind these big three eco-pro-paganda groups was a $60 million war chest from an obscure outfit called Tides Canada.

Another front group, as it turns out. The actual source of the money was the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, the Wilber-force Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the Rock-efeller Brothers Fund.

Most made their billions in computers and software in San Francisco or Seattle. They’ve funded scientifi-cally suspect campaigns such as “Yellowstone to Yukon” and “boreal forest” aimed at turning more than a third of Canada into parks. Increasingly, they are partnering with aboriginal people in B.C. and across Canada.

Some in B.C.’s major me-dia have since grudgingly

credited independent B.C. researcher Vivian Krause with filling in the blanks. She has shown that start-ing in 2002, these founda-tions began formally or-ganizing against Canadian fossil fuel production.

When the B.C. and Canadian governments matched the $60 million Great Bear Rainforest fund for “ecosystem-based” forest management, they didn’t realize they were reinforcing a blockade against oil exports. Tides and its backers have con-tinued to fund and create new protest groups, which are quoted as they pop up by credulous B.C. media.

Their argument against oil exports centres on the sexy but false premise that Alberta’s “tar sands” some-how uniquely threaten the global climate. Lately, as the size of B.C.’s gas development has become clearer, the protests have started to refocus.

Now we hear dire claims about the decades-old technique of “fracking” in gas development, and previously obscure groups

are springing up to protest gas projects.

Hollywood is about to gas us with an anti-frack-ing movie starring Matt Damon. Previews suggest that Promised Land works the usual evil-greedy-capi-talist themes, in the Avatar tradition.

ForestEthics, Sierra Club and Greenpeace, mean-while, are campaigning against their original forest preservation deal on B.C.’s Central and North Coast. Sustainable devel-opment solutions aren’t good for their business model. If people think a problem is solved, they stop sending money.

Meanwhile, the U.S. is surging ahead with its own shale oil and gas boom. Plans are underway for LNG exports from the U.S. to Asia.

I think 2013 would be a good year for Canada to start making its own deci-sions on energy develop-ment.

Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Is gas the enviro-villain of 2013?

opinion

As the new year ap-proaches and Rich-mond residents make

resolutions to stay fit and cut out (insert unhealthy snack here), we hope some other local groups are doing the same.

For starters, we’d love it if the Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation resolved not to ship jet fuel up the South Arm of the Fraser River to a tank farm by Riverport. There’s plenty of better

options out there, including build-ing a new deep-water port off of Jericho Beach and sending jet fuel to the airport through a new pipeline under Blenheim Street in Vancouver’s West Side. Sound ludicrous? Well, so is shipping jet fuel along the shallow Fraser and then piping it 15 kilometres under Richmond to Sea Island.

We’d love it if Port Metro Van-couver would stop buying up farmland for dreamed-of future ex-pansion. Port boss Robin Silvester seems to think of this whole idea

of producing food locally to be quaint, especially when we can all dine on tinned-foods coming from ships at sea.

We also hope the Supreme Court of B.C. resolves to throw out the lawsuit put forward by members of the Musqueam Indian Band over the sale of the Garden City Lands. The City of Richmond buys the lands from the Musqueam and feds and then gets sued? Let’s hope this one ends quickly so the city can get planning for the lands’ future.

We hope local restaurants will take shark fin soup off their menus, or at least only stock shark fin that is from proven sustainable sources.

And lastly, we hope our provin-cial government resolves to look at more efficient methods of getting people to their destinations, such as better funding public transit, as opposed to throwing money around on another mega-project, such as replacing the Massey Tun-nel with some crazy scheme that will put port traffic first and devour more farmland.

Editorial: a few wishes for 2013

B.C. ViewsTom Fletcher

We’d lvoe to see shark fin soup get off the menu in 2013.

Frequency is a big transit issueEditor:

Re: “Don’t give up on interurban rail corri-dor,” Letters, Dec. 24.

I think it’s prepos-terous to say that bus service cannot respond to transit demand in the Rich-mond suburbs. The Broadway corridor has 100,000 boardings a day at headways of less than two minutes. Most of our bus lines still run at half-hour frequencies for much of the day. How much light rail service would we be able to afford? Would it be frequent enough to be useful for most people?

These are important questions to consider when we must face the reality that true travel times are affected by frequency much more than the look and feel of rail. If we are to become a city with useful, cost effective transit, we need to de-velop high frequency services shielded from congestion and delay, whether it is bus or rail.

Tram line to Steveston should be a no-brainerEditor:

A tramway line to Steveston should be a no-brainer as auto-mated LRT (SkyTrain, Canada Line) is too expensive with its ele-vated tracks or tunnels and we badly need better transit outside of Vancouver.

Unfortunately--with the exception of Surrey Mayor Diane Watts, who has actually seen and used Portland MAX LRTs and the streetcar---most of our politi-cians and the public at large are clueless when it comes to tramways (as the Europeans call them, regardless of their size) that have become so popular, first in Europe then in other continents, since the town of Strasbourg in France opened a big and beautiful tramway in 1995.

Tramways or LRT—whatever you prefer calling them—have the same size and pas-sengers load as the ve-hicles used by SkyTrain and the Canada Line.

The Portland Max and the the Seattle Central

Link LRT each have cars with three articulated sections that are run most of the time as a twin set (two indepen-dent cars hitched to-gether). These sets are 58 metres long and can carry 344 passengers in Portland and 400 passengers in Seattle.

By comparison the Canada Line uses pairs of permanently joined cars that are 41 metres long and can carry 334 passengers.

The SkyTrain Mark II cars (the ones with a rounded nose), that are a permanently joined together pair, are 33.4-metres long and carry up to 290 passengers. SkyTrain now runs Mark II cars

as a double pair, with a possible load of 580 passengers.

While the Seattle tram doesn’t needs that capacity yet, it could run with a double set (four cars, 800 passengers).

European Alstom tramways most popular model, the Citadis 402, with seven

articulated sections, is 44 metres long and carry 300 pas-sengers. It is seldom twinned but could. Its smaller brother, the 302 (33 metres long) is often twinned in some towns—permanently on Paris tram line T2—carrying 440 pas-sengers.

Although historical

trams have their place, we have too mediocre a transit system in Metro Vancouver to waste money on a small tram, unless there a lot of them and they are working hard and efficiently, like the small Arakawa trams in Tokyo that cater mostly to residents and shrug off their historical at-

traction. Tourists that have

never seen a huge modern tram are just as fascinated—if not more—by them as they would by a his-torical one. As a bonus the modern ones are much more comfort-able and are part of course of a city wide tram network.

I was raised in a part of the world where towns have many historical buildings going back to the 17th or 18th centuries, if not the Middle Ages or even earlier. They aren’t museums but places where we live, work and play everyday.

Jean-Louis BrussacCoquitlam

Tourists that have never seen a huge modern tram are just as fascinated—if not more—by them as they would by a historical one.


Editor:I writing in regards to

the Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corpora-tion proposed marine terminal and tank farm 15 km upstream on the banks of the South Arm of the Fraser. I am not opposed to fuel expan-sion to YVR and that I recognize the economic importance of YVR on the economy. However, with a decision expected soon on this proposal, I want to encourage the rejection of this project as there are viable and responsible alternatives such as taking advantage of the two refineries within 50 kilometers of YVR both of which have marine terminals for emergency deliveries of jet fuel if determined necessary.

I want to be proud of my government, I want to be able to tell every-one that my govern-ment:

•Recognized that unloading and storing one million tons of TNT equivalent energy of flammable and explosive jet fuel 400 meters from a 280-unit residential condo and rental com-plex and entertainment commercial complex is a serious human safety risk. Especially, with the fact that a hazardous footprint and worst case scenarios have not been studied.

•Found that the VAFFC’s proposal would put an unfair tax burden on the municipalities of Richmond and Delta as Richmond Fire Rescue has specified the need to build and staff a new fire hall and fire boat in order to attempt to adequately protect the residents in the area and the pro-

ponent’s site. The cost of this will far outweigh the taxes paid by VAFFC to the City. Delta which has the largest coastline of any municipality in Canada would have zero resources to respond to a spill, other than an offer by the VAFFC to train Delta staff on how to clean up their toxic and flammable mess.

•Protected at least 80 species of fish, 50 species of birdlife including mi-gratory birds and other wildlife of the Fraser River Estuary from the high probability of spills and the possibility of a catastrophic spill.

•Protected the fishing, tourism and recreation industries on the Fraser River worth $100s of mil-

lion annually.•Recognized that ac-

cidents and malfunctions do happen and that acci-dents such as the recent coal ship collision at the nearby Deltaport cannot be tolerated with toxic and flammable jet fuel in the Fraser River Estuary.

Editor:Garry Point Park is a

public park for all to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. It is not a place for Onni to be advertising.

Putting up a sign to advertise a development project in Steveston is a shameful disgrace. Onni has no right to put up such a sign in a public park.

Onni took advantage of an existing notice board that had been installed to describe a sculpture that has since removed from the park. Onni’s develop-ment is definitely no sculp-ture. It is a massive scar of the Steveston waterfront.

Personal Injury Law, ICBC Claims“Experienced representation for serious injuries”

604-273-8518 • Suite 300-5900 No. 3 Road, Richmondwww.hughesco.com • Free Initial Consultation

With June, the gradu-ation month justaround the corner,our thoughts turn tonew drivers, especial-ly new teenage driv-ers. Last week wedescribed BritishColumbia’s original

Graduated LicensingProgram [GLP]. Thegoal of the originalprogram, introducedin August 1998, was to tackle the awfulstatistics: 35% of all deaths in the 13 to21 year s age group caused by car acci-dents; and 20% of all new drivers involved in crashes within their first two years ofdriving.

Initially the results were positive. Duringthe first two years, the new driver crashrate went down 26%. But most of theimprovement was by Learners rather thanNovices who remained 45% more likelythan experienced drivers to be involved incrashes.

The carnage continued. On March 21st,2002, four Delta teens were killed whenthe teen driver failed to stop at a stop signat the intersection of 57B Street andDeltaport Way and was broadsided by asemi-trailer. The teen driver, licensed foronly two weeks, was the only survivor.On May 31st, 2003, a 19-year-old driverand his three friends, after watching ahockey game and drinking, attempted todrive home together. The driver wove inand out of traffic at high speed and col-lided with a truck on the other side of ablind hill on Cedar Hill Road in Victoria.In this case, the three friends and thetruck driver survived while the teen driv-er was killed. On July 18th, 2003, fourfriends were involved in a single-carhigh-speed crash on the Old IslandHighway. Their car crashed into a con-

crete utility pole justbefore 4 a.m. All fourwere thrown from thecar. Two of the fourdied from their injuries.

Prompted by thesetragic events andresults in other GLPjurisdictions, the BCgovernment madechanges to the programthat came into effect onOctober 7, 2003. These

changes are more than fine-tuning. Theyextend the basic two-year term of theGLP to three years: a 12-month Learnerterm (reducible by 3 months for certifieddriving training) plus a 24 consecutive,prohibition-free month Novice term. ALearner must be accompanied by asupervisor 25 years of age or older with avalid Class I-5 driver’s license and mayhave only one passenger in addition tothe supervisor. A Novice is limited toone passenger only, excluding immediatefamily members, unless he or she isaccompanied by a supervising driver 25years or older. Immediate family mem-bers are defined as father, mother, broth-er, sister, spouse, children, and grandpar-ent including the same step or foster rela-tions. Novices who receive a driving pro-hibition must go back to the beginning ofthe novice stage, that is, they lose allaccumulated driving experience time andmust start again at Month 1. For a com-plete outline of all the Learner andNovice rules, visit the ICBC websitewww.icbc.com.

The immediate reaction to these changeswas predictably mixed. With fingers-crossed, we look forward to positiveresults from these changes to the pro-gram.

Family time is one of the best gifts of the season. We know that, as simple as it sounds, family time provides a strong foundation for many aspects of a good life including, we are learning, a safer (or riskier) driving life.

A new study by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, sponsored by Toyota’s Collaborative Safety Research Center (CSRC) in Ann Arbor, Michigan recently found that parents have a significant influence in how their teens drive. From a survey of more than 2,600 newly-licensed drivers aged 16 to 18 and nearly 3,000 of their parents, researchers concluded that there is “a significant correlation between parent and teen behaviours behind the wheel, suggesting parents can play an influential role in modeling risky behaviour on the road.”

One reporter summed it up this way “In other words, when they’re behind the wheel, your kids are not doing as you say, but rather as you do.” So if what you do while driving your kids includes engaging in distracting behaviours like texting or eating or debating, guess what your kids are likely to do when they get behind the wheel, whether or not they tell you they don’t or won’t?

And, as Tina Sayer, CSRC principal engineer and teen driving safety expert said, “Driver education begins the day a child’s car seat is turned around to face front. The one piece of advice I would give to parents to help them keep newly licensed [teen] drivers safe on the road … is to always be the [good, safe] driver you want your teen to be.”

The same study also found, however,

that parental driving behaviour, as good (or bad) as it may be, is obviously not the only factor influencing newly licensed teen drivers. The generational divide almost inevitably puts parents at a disadvantage when it comes to competing with smart phones and smart friends.

The same study found that teen drivers do a lot more texting behind the wheel than their parents think they do.

Of the teen drivers surveyed, 26 percent said they read or sent a text message from a Smartphone at least one time every time they drove. Only one percent of the parents surveyed believed their teen engaged in such risky driving behavior. One in five teens— 20 percent—admitted to multi-message text conversations while driving. More than half of the teens searched for music on a portable music device while driving, while only 12 percent of parents said they did this. One in 10 teens updated or checked social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter while driving.

This survey information gives no comfort to parents. But forewarning of this kind is at least something. One thing you might want to do is take a drive with your newly licensed teen at the wheel. Watch and listen and help if you are asked. You may even be able to insert a bit of advice into any driving-related conversation. A drive like this could be one of the most precious gifts your child ever receives from you.

Shaw in select companyRichmond’s Tony Shaw one of only five Canadians to be recognized as international table tennis refereeby Don FennellSports Editor

Tony Shaw’s dedication to table tennis is never ending.

As a former president of the B.C. Table Tennis Federation and vice-president of the Canadian chapter, the Richmond man has given significant time and en-ergy helping to organize and increase the number of tournaments across the country. In recent years, however, he’s been increasingly focused on officiating and is just back from a whirlwind trip to China and India where he umpired sev-eral matches at the grand final of the World Table Tennis Tour in Hangzhou and at the World Junior Table Tennis Champi-onships in Hyderabad.

Shaw says it was an honour and privi-lege to officiate at both events, but he returned home with an even bigger award—he’s now one of just 160 table tennis referees in the world to be quali-fied to oversee any open international

competition. He’s also only the fifth Ca-nadian to hold such credentials.

“I’m very happy to achieve this quali-fication, it’s been my dream,” said Shaw.

At 68 years old, Shaw—despite his boundless energy and youthful appear-ance—was worried his age might work against him. So he made sure that he was prepared for whatever challenges might be presented at the international referee school he attended just prior to the grand final in Hangzhou. One of only 12 individuals from around the world in-vited to attend the four days of intensive courses, he was required to pass both a written exam and interview. Prior to leaving home, Shaw spent several early mornings studying the material he imag-ined would be included in the tests and wound up with the highest mark in the class.

“I was a little worried because I knew most of the people attending were quite young, including a few university profes-sors,” he says.

Tony Shaw now qualified to oversee any in-ternational table tennis event.

Richmond rinks ready for big challenges

Already the proud home to many provincial, nation-al and international cham-pions, the Richmond Curl-ing Club could be about to add to the list.

Team Jensen, featuring skip Shawn Jensen, third Sarah Daniels, second Ka-tie Sim and lead Megan Daniels, has qualified for the 2013 Tim Hortons BC Junior Curling Champi-onship Jan. 1 to 6 at the

Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex in Coquitlam.

The team is coached by Ernie Daniels.

Richmond is also gearing up to host a group of Scot-tish curlers, who are taking on Canadian rinks as part of a series of friendly games next month. The Scots will be at the Rich-mond Curling Club at 10 a.m. on Jan. 12.

Don Fennell photoParker Moskal of the California Wave U16AA wins the opening faceoff from Prince George Cougar Daylon Ouellette Thursday at the Richmond International Midget Hockey Tournament. The teams were tied 2-2 after a period but the Cougars added two more goals in the second and held on for a 4-2 victory in the Tier 2 Division game.

Action underway at holiday hockey classicby Don FennellSports Editor

Don’t be surprised if you see a flock of bird dogs at the Richmond International Midget Hockey Tournament—on through Monday at the Richmond Ice Centre, Mi-noru Arenas and Richmond Olympic Oval.

The 58-team event has become one of the most popular holiday tournaments in North America. and increasingly, scouts are discovering future juniors and even pros.

Two years ago, Derrick Pouliot was pa-

trolling the blueline for Moose Jaw at the Richmond tournament. Last summer, the Pittsburgh Penguins selected him eighth overall in the annual NHL Entry Draft, reflecting how highly thought of the 18-year-old defenceman is as a pro prospect.

Pouliot is the latest in a growing list of NHLers who have played in the Richmond tournament, now in its 32nd year. That list includes current Columbus Blue Jacket Brandon Dubinsky and Montreal Cana-dien Scott Gomez, who both played for teams based in Alaska.

By the time Monday rolls around, there will be a host of very exhausted committee members. They’ll have overseen 154 games over the first four days of the annual Richmond International Midget Hockey Tour-nament.

The players will be tired too, but

grateful if they’re fortunate enough to play on New Year’s Eve day.

It’s finals day with bronze, silver and gold medals on the line. Games begin at 8:30 a.m. with Tier 2 gold up for grabs at Minoru Arenas, while at the Ice Centre the Tier 3 final be-gins at 8:45 a.m. The Tier 1 bronze

final also begins at 8:45 a.m. at the Ice Centre, followed by the bronze medal games at Tier 2 and Tier 3 at 9 a.m. The Midget Major bronze medal game begins at 9:15 a.m., with the Tier 1 and Midget Major gold medal finals at 11:15 a.m. and 2 p.m. at Mi-noru Arenas.

On Sunday, Dec. 16, the Rotary Club of Steveston along with the help of McMath Interact held a seniors christmas meal with turkey, stuffing and all the fixings! About 180 seniors enjoyed a nice community meal and shared in the fellowship, singing and even a visit from Santa Claus. Moreover, donations were raised for the food bank.

Santa and Mrs. Claus visited the Country Meadows Senior Men’s Golf Club annual breakfast. This year the club raised more than $2900 and 1100 lbs of food for Rich-mond families in need, supplied to them by the Salvation Army.

Barb Davidson, owner of the Francis Road M&M Meat Shop, donated 80 apple pies on behalf of her customers to the Salvation Army. Customers were given the op-tion of a free apple pie with a minimum purchase or donating it to the Salvation Army community meal program. John Fischer of the Salvation Army was on hand to receive the pies.
