Smuggler breached airport security Ex-Air Canada baggage handler accessed restricted areas while off duty

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

The former Air Canada baggage handler who tried to smuggle 50 kilograms of cocaine through Vancouver In-ternational Airport, breached airport security seven times before being caught in December of 2007.

But there’s no indication that Steven Von Holtum was ever questioned about those earlier incidents, which Crown counsel Charles Hough argued were times where Von Hol-tum may have successfully smuggled other drugs into the country.

Two security experts called the incidents “serious breaches.”Ironically, his unauthorized access to the customs hall was

recorded by a new technology introduced the same year Von Holtum was caught, and designed to sound alarm bells.

Billed in January of 2007 by the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority as “the world’s fi rst dual biometric air-port identifi cation program for non-passengers acccessing restricted areas of the airport,” the RAIC (Restricted Area Identity Card) program was designed to detect and record the comings and goings of airport personnel, including whenever they enter restricted zones.

Hough told The Richmond Review fragments of data he obtained from the airport authority indicate that on at least 20 days in 2007, Von Holtum was at the airport while off duty, and used his access card to cross security lines. On an additional eight days, cell phone records indicate he was at the airport while not working.

And the access card data indicates he was in the customs hall of the Vancouver International Airport on seven differ-ent days, six of those while he was off duty, Hough said.

Hough said senior management testifi ed that baggage handlers are not permitted into the customs hall except on the rare occasion when they’ve received specifi c orders, and that violating this rule was deemed a “serious employee misconduct.”

The Agricultural Land Commission wants public comment on various new or in-creased fees it may impose to generate more revenue to finance its operations.

Under consideration are increases to ex-isting fees for Agricultural Land Reserve exclusions, as well as subdivisions, non-farm use and utility corridor applications.

Those fees haven’t been raised since 2002.

The ALC is also considering new service fees to ensure completion of conditionally approved applications and for ongoing

monitoring and site inspections of long-term approvals.

B.C.’s agriculture minister last year agreed to enable new fees to strengthen the ALC after an audit found chronic un-derfunding had left the commission unable to prosecute many violators for degrading farmland because of court costs.

Comments are being accepted until July 8 at http://www.agf.gov.bc.ca/aboutind/ALC_Consultation/index.htm

Much of East Richmond is in the Agricul-tural Land Reserve.

ALC considers higher fees Rents on the rise

Metro Vancouver rental vacancy rates edged down to 2.6 per cent in April, from 2.8 per cent a year ear-lier, according to the Can-ada Mortgage and Housing Corp.

Rents rose an average of 2.4 per cent over the same one-year period, with rent-ers paying on average $854 for Metro Vancouver bache-lor units and $1,210 for two bedrooms.

Kaisei backs out, but Hawaiin Chieftain still on course

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Uncertain weather has forced the largest tall ship on course for Ste-veston’s Ships to Shore festival to cancel.

The two-masted Kaisei was sched-uled to arrive for the June 29 open-ing of the three-day festival at Impe-rial Landing, but the city announced late last week that predictions of bad weather during a scheduled 10-day sail forced the operators to back out.

“It’s disappointing,” said city spokesperson Ted Townsend. “They had quite a long journey to get here and the weather forecast was such that they weren’t going to be able to guarantee they’d be here by the end of the weekend.”

The 46-metre (151-feet) Kaisei has served as the iconic vessel behind research expeditions of Project Kai-sei, a group that formed in 2008 to stem the flow of plastic and marine debris into the Pacific Ocean.

Carlotta, a Vancouver Island pi-lot cutter built in 1899, has also backed out of the event. A delay in the arrival of a new engine is being

blamed on its cancellation.Nonetheless, there will be lots

for people to see and do, said Townsend. Hawaiian Chieftain and HMCS Oriole tall ships are still on course for Ships to Shore, which will offer free viewing and board-ing of seven historic vessels. Other ships include the schooner Mal-lory Todd—which Townsend said

is classed as a tall ship—and the steam tug SS Master with its dis-tinctive whistle.

Townsend also noted the event co-incides with the Steveston Salmon Festival on July 1, and historic sites Britannia Heritage Shipyard and Gulf of Georgia Cannery will also be open on the weekend.

“We’ve got a great event,” said Townsend. “Steveston is the place to be on Canada Day weekend.”

Hawaiian Chieftain was built in Ha-waii in 1988. The steel-hulled ship is a replica of a typical European merchant trader of the turn of the 19th century. Based in Aberdeen, Wash., the vessel has an overall length of 31.4 metres (103 feet) and has a mast height of 22.9 metres (75 feet).

Other ships scheduled to appear at Ships to Shore: schooner Grail Dancer, gillnetter Silver Ann and the replica Spanish longboat Juanita.

Parking in Steveston is limited and some road closures will be in place on Canada Day morning due to the Salmon Festival parade. Festival go-ers are encouraged to take transit, cycle or walk to avoid traffic and parking congestion.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie says council caught in ‘very difficult position’

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

Caught between an unstoppable need for policing, and an immovable deadline for signing, Richmond city council opted to execute the proposed RCMP contract, but not before stating its objections and turning its trust to the province.

“Richmond city council is caught in a very diffi cult posi-tion,” Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said in a press release. “There is the looming deadline and notice of signifi cant fi nancial penalties if the agreement remains unsigned. However, there remain many important unan-swered questions about related costs if the contract is signed. Unfortunately, there is little chance for effective civic input over the 20-year contractual term. This is a

contract of signifi cant importances as Richmond’s RCMP policing budget represents the city’s largest single op-erational cost.”

According to Brodie, he met with B.C.’s justice minister and attorney general earlier this month, and indicated that he would be signing on the understanding that several specifi c items will be addressed by the province.

These concerns include:• limiting the city’s fi nancial liability in regards to the

RCMP’s new Green Timbers headquarters, as well as ret-roactive pay increases and severance entitlements;

• defi ning the costs of the Lower Mainland integrated teams;

• committing to a process for resolving future disputes in a manner that assures meaningful municipal input.

Brodie clarifi ed that the city isn’t worried about the RCMP’s effectiveness, but rather its “overall administra-tion.”

Plans calling for a study to consider other models for policing, including both regional and sub-regional polic-ing and a separate municipal force, have already been announced by other Metro Vancouver municipalities, and Richmond plans to join in, Brodie said.

New software tool to help residents on garbage and recycling days

A new software is available that can give busy Richmond residents custom reminders about garbage and recycling collection.

The ReCollect program is a new software tool that will aid those who have too many items on their schedules to remember their garbage and recycling col-lection days.

Via email, text message, Twit-ter, or a phone call, Richmond residents can customize how they want to be reminded of those days, as well as the times and days of the reminders.

“The City of Richmond is al-ways looking for new and inno-

vative ways to serve our citizens on a daily basis,” Mayor Malcolm Brodie says.

“Using the ReCollect program to receive customized garbage and recycling reminders is sim-ple and easy—you can get the information you want, when and how you want it.”

Other messages include notes regarding service change or property tax due dates.

To sign up, visit www.richmond.ca/recycle.

ReCollect is the fi rst web-based software program released by the city. More Richmond specifi c programs and apps are coming in the near future, the city said.

Possible end to free parking lots for transit users

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

TransLink may make commuters pay to use many of its free park-and-rides and may raise rates at other paid parking lots at rapid transit stations in response to overcrowding.

The strategy is to spur more driv-ers who can catch a bus from close to their home to do so rather than driving to a park-and-ride, where they board SkyTrain, an express bus or the West Coast Express.

Detractors worry the plan will backfi re and push too many of those motorists to ditch transit and drive all the way to work in-stead.

TransLink corporate communica-tions manager Jason Martin gave no details on which lots might see fees imposed or raised, adding a study is still underway and Trans-Link’s board of directors will vote on any fi nal plan.

“Pricing is certainly one way to help manage demand,” he said. “We want to encourage people on the frequent transit network or areas that are well-served to use transit to get to SkyTrain.”

Park-and-rides offer convenience for motorists who don’t want to wait

for a bus near their home to get to a transit hub before transferring to an express bus or rapid transit, Martin said, but added that convenience may come at a price.

“A nominal fee at park-and-ride still represents savings for some-body who might otherwise still be driving downtown to pay for a parking spot.”

The parking congestion prob-lem partly refl ects rising transit ridership – more commuters than TransLink expected are using the South Surrey park-and-ride to catch a bus to the Canada Line at Bridgeport.

The South Surrey lot is one of 10 free ones across the region and it routinely overfl ows despite being recently expanded to 481 stalls. TransLink has said it will begin towing cars illegally parked there June 25.

“It’s pretty chaotic,” said Fraser Institute economist Joel Wood, who commutes using the lot and said TransLink is right to reassess the region’s park-and-ride fees to reduce congestion.

“The obvious solution to replac-ing the kind of fi rst-come, fi rst-served approach we have now to allocating stalls is to charge for them,” Wood said.

“If you put a price in, you’ll want to set the price so the parking lot fi lls up but there’s no longer cars overfl owing.”

Other free park-and-rides include lots in Ladner, Tsawwassen, Wal-nut Grove in Langley, Sexsmith in Richmond; Phibbs exchange, Park

Royal mall, Westmount and Gle-neagles on the North Shore.

Some pay lots already charge hefty fees. An Impark-run lot at King George station in Surrey costs $6 to park for the day, prompting many motorists heading there to park for free a couple blocks away along Fraser Highway instead.

Others are much cheaper—the public parkade at Bridgeport Station, operated by the casino there in partnership with Trans-Link, charges Canada Line users $2.50 a day, while the Scott Road SkyTrain station park-and-ride charges $3.

Wood said TransLink needs to guard against unintended im-pacts, like commuters parking on nearby residential streets to save money.

The move will also bring inequi-ties, especially where some motor-ists heading to a transit hub have less ability to take transit without driving than others.

Many commuters criticized the planned higher fees online, say-ing they will defeat the purpose of park-and-rides and discourage transit use.

Twitter user @BuckyHermit called TransLink planners “clueless” for thinking fees will encourage people to take a bus to stations. “Um. If they had a choice, they would!”

TransLink says the capital cost of building park-and-rides ranges from $3,000 to $16,000 per space, while the operating costs are $200 to $800 per year.

TransLink may hike park-and-ride rates

Minister defends $400,000 to promote span

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

The provincial gov-ernment is spending $400,000 on an ad-vertising campaign to promote the new Port Mann Bridge.

The spending comes despite repeated assur-ances from the province that the $3.3-billion Port Mann/Highway 1 project will be fully paid for through tolls and that there is no risk large numbers of motorists will divert to untolled crossings to avoid having to pay.

“I think it is money very well spent,” Trans-portation Minister Blair Lekstrom said Monday

of the ad blitz, which emphasizes the time savings for users.

“We think it’s very im-portant that the public is aware of the open-ing of the Port Mann Bridge, what to expect when it opens, when it will open – that kind of thing.”

Ministry planners have projected any diversion of toll-averse drivers to free crossings will be largely offset by an in-flux of motorists who currently avoid the Port Mann because of con-gestion and are willing to pay the minimum $3 tolls for a faster trip over the new 10-lane span.

Lekstrom said the province is in the final stages of putting the tolling infrastructure in place, adding more information will be coming on that in the next couple of months, in advance of the bridge opening with an initial

eight lanes this Decem-ber.

The ministry has yet to reveal exactly what signs will be used and where they will be placed alerting drivers to the recommended untolled route via the Pattullo Bridge and the northeast stretch of the South Fraser Perimeter Road. Westbound driv-ers will have to exit Highway 1 at 176 in or-der to take the SFPR to the Pattullo.

TransLink’s Golden Ears Bridge hasn’t gen-erated as much paying traffic as initially ex-pected, but officials expect that to improve once the Port Mann no longer offers a free al-ternative.

N D P t r a n s p o r t a -tion critic Harry Bains called the advertising campaign a waste of money.

“The bridge is being built, it’s been adver-

tised all along,” he said. “How many photo ops have they had?”

Bains said the minis-try should instead be working to deliver the promised express bus service over the Port Mann Bridge – currently on hold due to the de-nial of higher taxes and fares for TransLink.

He said he has serious doubts about the trans-portation ministry’s prediction of what will happen when the new bridge opens and tolls are charged for the first time on Highway 1 in the Lower Mainland.

“It’s going to be chaos in Whalley, the Guildford area and North Delta area,” Bains said, pre-dicting drivers clog 104 and 108 avenues in Sur-rey to get to the Pattullo or Alex Fraser bridges. “The Pattullo is going to be jam-packed. It’s going to be even more dangerous.”

Volunteers renovate courtyardby Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

William Bridge Elementary stu-dents now have a place to read a book or just unwind courtesy Coast Capital’s youth team.

The school’s courtyard under-

went a renovation that saw the team invest some sweat equity into the outdoor space.

Armed with a $750 budget, the Grade 12 students—Tina Lopez, Vanessa Lau, Justin Uyeno, Con-nie Ho, Daniel Wang and Elaine Ho—renovated the school’s gar-den, bringing life to the space by adding fl owers, a colourful um-brella, a bench and tiles painted by students at the school.

“It took a lot of time and effort to get done, because we did much of the work ourselves, but we enjoyed every minute of it, especially work-

ing with the students to paint and install the tiles,” said Lau.

Bridge elementary principal Patrick von Hahn said he was im-pressed by the dedication and com-mitment displayed by the young gardeners and landscapers.

“By creating this beautiful garden for their project, the Coast Capital Richmond Youth Team has left a wonderful imprint on our school that will be enjoyed by current and future students for many years,” von Hahn said. “It’s great for the students, for the staff, and for the environment.”

THURSDAY JUNE 28

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

It’s been six weeks since Sean No-lan’s white landscaping trailer was stolen, emptied and then dumped at a dead-end street not far from his Steveston home.

But he still wonders whether some-one in the community has unwitting-ly taken ownership of some of his equipment, courtesy a too-good-to-be-true deal that actually involved stolen merchandise.

It was sometime between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. on Saturday, May 12 when two or three thieves gathered at the front of Nolan’s home.

Parked there was a white four-foot-by-eight-foot custom trailer with green trim, securely hooked up to Nolan’s Ford F-250 pick up truck.

The next morning, Nolan discovered that the trailer was gone, the back of his Ford’s tailgate gouged out.

“It was super brazen,” Nolan said of the theft.

“I’m so shocked that somebody would do that.”

Nolan is convinced the people be-hind the theft did their homework.

“They know me, and there’s a chance I know them.”

Stolen were the pieces of equip-ment he makes a livelihood from, included a green Ryan aerator, a green Ryan power raker, which cost him more than $1,000 each.

“They knew what I had in there, they knew how I locked them up.”

Nolan said the weight of the trailer means it would have taken at least two people, and likely three, to un-hitch the trailer and pivot it so that it could be hooked up by another vehicle.

And the people would have had to have local knowledge, considering his trailer was recovered by police at a dead-end street that backs onto the Steveston baseball diamonds on Moncton Street.

Nolan has contacted the police, but so far, there’s no word on a re-covery.

In the meantime, he’s called pawn shops in the Lower Mainland, to no avail.

Nolan suspects the thieves might have been trying to set up their own business, considering his ear protec-tion, hand tools and jerry cans were also taken.

“If they didn’t have a buyer in place, they are probably setting up their own business,” he said.

One of the pieces of equipment has sentimental value for Nolan, a Cali-fornia trimmer that was given to him by the family of someone who was dying in hospital of cancer.

While he was insured, the fact he hadn’t updated his insurance policy means the newer equipment he pur-chased more recently wasn’t cov-ered.

Anyone with information about the stolen equipment is asked to call the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 and reference file number 12-13333.

From Page 1“That’s how planes get blown up,” Hough

said.Von Holtum was convicted by a B.C. Su-

preme Court jury in November 2011 of im-porting a controlled substance.

He was fi nally sentenced on Friday to 10 years in prison by B.C. Supreme Court Madam Justice Miriam Gropper, who also banned him from possessing fi rearms for 10 years, and ordered him to submit a sample of his DNA to the federal registry.

Von Holtum had no previous criminal re-cord, and the Crown requested an 18-year sentence, while defence counsel Ian Donald-son made written submissions that a seven-year sentence was appropriate, although he orally asked the court to hand Von Holtum house arrest.

According to Hough, Von Holtum wasn’t scheduled to work in the early morning hours of Dec. 23, 2007, when he “volun-teered” to help offl oad a charter fl ight from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

After that, he entered the customs hall, where he’s observed to be pushing a trolly with four unclaimed suitcases toward an area that handles fragile luggage.

At this point, he was confronted by an Air Canada worker, who told him he can’t push those suitcases to that area, and referred him to customs.

He’s also spotted pulling off the identifi ca-tion tags from the suitcases, which were later retrieved from the garbage, Hough said.

It was later learned that the suitcases con-tained 50 one-kilogram bricks of high quality cocaine, with a purity of between 89 and 95 per cent, and worth about $1.2 million.

A drug expert testifi ed at trail that couriers carrying this quantity of cocaine would be paid up to $100,000.

The day after the cocaine was discovered, Von Holtum was interviewed by senior man-agement, and he claimed he was at the air-port looking for someone with whom he could trade work shifts.

Von Holtum was indefi nitely suspended without pay, and later fi red.

Hough said the suitcases were loaded onto the plane in Mexico even though there were no passengers linked to them, adding this was “quite a sophisticated scheme.”

University of BC associate professor Gar-land Chow, an expert in transportation security, said that Von Holtum’s repeated unauthorized access to the airport’s customs hall was “alarming, very much.”

Chow said he “would be disappointed” if Von Holtum’s breaches “didn’t result in mul-tiple responses” in terms of changing airport protocols and follow-up investigations.

While the security access cards collect large quantities of information, software needs to be in place to raise alarm bells

when staff access restricted areas, includ-ing on days when they aren’t supposed to be working.

Whenever a truck accesses Port Metro Vancouver, similar security technology is used to verify if a truck is supposed to be there, the cargo that is supposed to be in it, and the person who is supposed to be driving the vehicle.

Simon Fraser University professor Andre Gerolymatos said Von Holtum’s repeated unauthorized access to the customs hall are “very serious breaches,” but said if this didn’t spawn a follow-up investigation and changes, “that would be more serious.”

Meanwhile the Canadian Air Transport Se-curity Authority and Vancouver International Airport Authority were pointing fi ngers at one another.

While the air security authority unveiled the access cards, spokesperson Suzanne Perseo said the “sole responsibility of access control” belongs to the airport authority.

But Alana Lawrence said: “When the airport authority becomes aware that an employee with a Restricted Area Identity Card (RAIC) is in a restricted area while not in the course of their duties we will ticket them. Transport Canada may investigate further and fi ne them. Given that 18,000 employees at YVR have RAIC cards, monitoring the access to restricted areas is a joint effort between the Airport Authority, all security partners and tenants.”

Lawrence referred further questions to the RCMP.

The RCMP’s federal drug squad was un-available for comment by press time Tuesday afternoon.

Gateway Cocktail pARTy supports performing arts in Richmond

by Don FennellStaff Reporter

Fans of the perform-ing arts paid $350 per couple to attend the second annual Gateway Cocktail pARTy fundrais-er Thursday at Gateway Theatre.

The all-inclusive eve-ning allowed patrons to mingle with other supporters of the arts, sample a variety of tapas-style cuisine and desserts, and go home

with one of the more than 100 pieces of origi-nal artwork donated by local artists. Each work of art was appraised be-tween $300 and $2,000, said Richmond Review ad manager Elana Gold,the production chair for the evening and a board member.

By having her ticket drawn fi rst, Katherine Lecy had her choice of the artwork. She se-lected a piece by June MacDonald.

The real estate industry can breathe a sigh

of relief, as can many homeowners.

The Bank of Canada said earlier this month that interest rate increases aren’t likely any time soon, given the economic uncertainty in Europe and many challenging economic situations across the world.

In that environment, an

interest rate increase will just cause more trouble.

Nonetheless, homeown-ers with large mortgages would be wise to try to lock in low rates for as long as possible and, at the same time, do all they can to reduce their total debt.

Interest rates will not stay this low forever, just as they didn’t stay at 20 per cent in the early 1980s. Those high rates had a lot to do with the

last significant housing price correction in the Lower Mainland.

At that time, some peo-ple simply walked away from their homes. It was a situation very similar to that in many U.S. cities in the past four years.

Here, the housing mar-ket has been very stable since the late 1980s. Prices fluctuated in the 1990s, but for the most part they have been on a steady upward trajectory.

In recent years, prices have jumped to levels where many people are having difficulty buying a home. This is particu-larly true of single-family homes. Only low interest rates have kept many people in the market.

Interest rates also have other effects, on retired people on fixed incomes. Low interest rates cut deeply into their pur-chasing power, as they are dependent on invest-

ment income for at least part of their income.

A long period of low interest rates, as we have seen, can wreak havoc on pension plans.

It all makes for many challenging situations. Saving is of limited ben-efit, but so is borrowing too much.

The best approach is to keep expenses under control and pay close at-tention to interest rates.

There’s a reason we have grad ceremonies

Homeowners with large mortgages would be wise to try to lock in low rates for as long as pos-sible and, at the same time, do all they can to reduce their total debt.

“My friend just spend $200 on her grad dress,

Mum,” my daughter informed me a few weeks ago.

For those readers with kids in high school, you may shake your heads while others might con-sider two hundred dol-lars a pretty good deal.

I was speechless. The thing is, my daughter and her peers aren’t in grade twelve. When we speak about grad week includ-ing dinner, dance, gradu-ation ceremony, and the $200 dress, we’re talking elementary school.

Enter generational clash. When I finished elementary school, we had an awards ceremony. My parents attended, I got an award and a piece of paper, and that was that. Today’s grads of 2012, the junior version, have not only ceremonies but a dinner and a beach

day. And that’s just the official school events. Outside of the class-room, there are several parties planned.

Why all this fuss? We’re talking elementary school, right? Most kids will do five further years of school not to mention college, university, or training post secondary.

The thing is, apart from the financial pressure some parents feel in outfitting their kids, I’m all for these gradua-tion events. Through an unfortunate coincidence, all three of my children are leaving their present schools for new ones in the fall. In addition to my 13 year old, I have one entering late French Immersion and another starting kindergarten.

All are leaving schools where they have bonded

with teachers, made friends, and connected to a community. All are saying goodbye to the familiar and taking on a new, different challenge. Guess which kid isn’t stressed about this in the least? Yup, grad girl.

My Grade 7 daughter welcomes high school. She’s had plenty of time to say goodbye to friends, has feted her teachers, and has mentally made the transition. In a bril-liant late term assign-ment, her teacher had her create a memory book of her elementary years where she put photos and reflections together in a lasting form.

As humans, we have ceremonies like these to ease transitions. We have our Bat Mitzvahs, confir-mations, wedding show-ers, wakes, and the rest

to make the change from one stage of our life to the other easier. There’s a reason for these (apart from the great party fac-tor.) We need them.

So while my daughter most defi nitely will not be wearing a $200 dress on Thursday, I will be cel-ebrating alongside her this week. I will also be creat-ing opportunities to help the other two with their transitions over summer.

Many thanks to the teachers and staff of Homma and Westwind Elementary. You’re all so very wise.

Editor:Re: “Science Lesson” (Letters, June

20).When a science lesson involves

chemicals, it’s good to read the labels. Croplife forgot to do that before lectur-ing us clueless denizens of, it seems, a nether region of Outer Slobovia.

News fl ash for the lecturer: Health Canada’s science does NOT show that pesticides are safe. When one reads the label, Health Canada often warns they’re hazards.

Take the weedicide named Wilson® Lawn Weedout® Concentrate (please). Health Canada says it’s “Toxic to birds, small wild mammals, aquatic organisms and non-target broadleaf terrestrial

plants.” At least it’s safe for what’s (a) already dead or (b) genetically modifi ed to be sprayed with weedicide and sold as food. We’ll survive without it.

But let’s say you have a pet, Chuchi, the world’s smartest Chihuahua. Even if Chuchi can read the small print on the Weedout® label that says it’s toxic to “small wild mammals,” she feels safe as a small civilized mammal. Too bad the weedicide can’t tell the difference.

Bye-bye, Chuchi? Likewise, toddlers toddling into an area wet with Weed-out® may be at risk. Maybe we’re nitpicking, but some of us Slobovians think “safe” should mean “safe.”

Picnic was a successEditor:

A big thank you to Thompson Community Centre for bringing the community together in such a positive, fun environment. The annual community picnic took place on Thursday and it was the fi rst time I had been to the community centre.

I was so impressed by the friendly staff and volunteers, and was blown away with how well the event was organized. They had something for everyone and it was all free.

The best part was that everyone was joined together as a community for one day.

The fl ash mob topped it off and reminded me of the importance of taking some time to enjoy life, dance and have fun!

I will be attending this event for years to come.Sandra Yeung

Want jet fuel, then get some insurance first?Editor:

I’m all for all the jet fuel proposals, if and only if, the proponents successfully get insur-ance that will guarantee repair, to any degree necessary, all damages, including long-term environmental damage.

Insurers must provide coverage if asked, but will expertly assign a value based on the risk. If the proponents are correct about lack of risk, the cost will be a token amount on their pre-existing insurance contracts.

Put your money where the Fraser’s mouth is, people, or admit you’re full of “pollution”!

‘It looks like we have a hubcap in our table.”

Welcome to my fi rst experience at a Korean BBQ restaurant. A few days ago I was think-ing about what kinds of food I haven’t yet tried in Richmond, and realized Korean was one of them. I’m not well-versed in this cui-sine, though I do have friends who’d swim across an ocean just for a jar of kimchi, and I fi g-ured my friends’ good taste plus my curiosity are the only prerequi-sites I need.

My friends Kyle and Sally joined me in this venture, which was also their fi rst time trying Korean BBQ. I chose Dai Jang Kum (3088 St. Edwards Dr.)

We were seated in a booth with a grill in the centre of the table, which truly does look like an inset hubcap. Our servers weren’t terribly friendly, but they were extremely effi cient; when Kyle dropped his fork, there was a new one for him almost before it hit the fl oor.

We ordered the seafood pancake ($16.95), and the bar-becue combo for two ($41.95) which

included beef shortrib, chicken, bulgogi (thinly sliced marinated beef ), a seafood hotpot, and a huge variety of accom-paniments.

They fi rst brought the side plates fi lled with bean-sprouts, wasabi-

marinated radish, plain radish, kimchi, mari-nated cooked potato, steamed broccoli, fi sh cakes (which are a com-mon side dish/snack in Korea), and salad. We spread them out around the grill, which our server lit before bringing out

the meat platter. I don’t believe I’ve ever had a plate of raw, juicy meat sitting in front of

me at a restaurant be-fore, but this is all part

of the experience. See Page 11

Korean BBQFrom Page 10

It comes uncooked, and you grill it on your own, personal BBQ – fun! Unless you have a BBQ alpha at the table with you, which we fortunately did not.

Our servers helped us out a bit, showing that the hottest spot on the grill is at the very centre and checking to ensure we didn’t overcook our thin slices of shortrib (I have a tendency to chat a lot and sometimes get distracted from what’s happening in front of me). We each received a small metal container of rice, and with all of our fi xings we set to work grilling, grabbing condi-ments, mixing, scooping from the hotpot, and eating, eating, eating.

Between the three of us we had the per-fect amount of food. I especially enjoyed the bulgogi mixed with rice and wasabi radish. With

Korean BBQ, everyone’s meal is distinct depend-ing on what they’ve as-sembled on their plate and how they mix all of the different foods.

The seafood pancake (haemul pajeon) was one of our favourites – crispy on the outside and fi lled with various kinds of seafood fried in a thick batter. The seafood hotpot (with mussels, crab, octopus, enoki mushrooms, and fi sh) was a little trickier to navigate.

The slices of fi sh were full of bones (not a criti-cism, just a tricky reality when eating), and the octopus was tough to chew. The broth was nice, though I prob-ably wouldn’t order the hotpot again.

Though the meats were tasty, my favourite thing on the table was the kimchi. This is an absolute staple of Ko-rean cuisine and while there are many kinds, cabbage kimchi is one of the most common. It’s a mixture of fresh cabbage, garlic, ginger, chili, fi sh, and salt that’s jarred and left to fer-

ment. I don’t have a very

high tolerance for spicy foods, and some kimchi I’ve tasted burned a little too much. This stuff, however, was just right. It was spicy but also smoky, with a rich

fl avour I found addict-ing. I’m craving it right now just typing about it.

The pickled wasabi radish (daikon) was also wonderful; cut into thin rounds, it was a pale, minty green from its wasabi marinade. The

cooked potatoes had a sweet dressing that offset the saltier dishes, and the fresh salad and steamed broccoli lightened everything up. It was a nice balance between fl avours, and fun to “manage” the

meal ourselves.Because I’ve never eat-

en in this style before, nor am I yet very familiar with Korean cuisine, I can’t say where Dai Jang Kum ranks on the list of Korean restaurants in Richmond. I can say,

however, that this is a fun meal to enjoy with friends, and I’d defi nitely do it again. It’s as much about the experience as it is the food, and you won’t be bored! Just try to talk less than I do and focus on the meat.

Together Canada can win, coach saysby Don FennellSports Editor

After trading goals with Team USA for most of the match, Team Canada’s last-minute rally came up just short in a 56-53 loss to the Americans in the fi nal of the 2012 Canada Cup International Wheelchair Rugby Tournament Saturday at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

In front of a nearly sold-out crowd, the teams were tied 24-24 at the half, but several penalties by Canada early in the third quarter enabled the U.S. to pull away for a game-high six-point lead before the latter rallied.

The event, featuring the top eight teams in the world, was a prelude to this summer’s Paralympic Games in London, England scheduled for Aug. 29 to Sept. 9.

“I think we missed some opportunities (with the pen-alties) but we didn’t give up and played a complete game,” said Canada coach Kevin Orr. “The last two games we played a pretty good system throughout and that’s going to be a key for us at the Para-lympics.”

As the sport of wheelchair rugby continues to evolve, so does strategy. And thanks to the success of players such as Australia’s Ryley Batt, consid-ered by many to be the best

in the world, speed is also be-coming increasingly a factor in the game.

Zak Madell, an 18-year-old from Okotoks, Alta. is Cana-da’s youngest player and ar-guably its fastest. But while it’s tempting to want to take advantage of his quickness, Orr is cautious.

“Certainly I think (speed) is a big part of the game now and the reason why teams are get-ting fast athletes and training them to get that way,” he said. “But we’ve got to give (Mad-ell) the opportunity to gain experience. I’m not sure you have to be the fastest team (to be successful) but you have to be the most complete. That’s really what we’re striving for in London.”

Orr said team chemistry will be essential if Canada is to re-alize its goal of being No. 1.

“We have to ensure what works works, we don’t want to get into a guessing game,” he said. “When I took on this opportunity (to coach) it was to win, it wasn’t to take sec-ond. We’ve got to believe we can win and we appreciate Canada is behind us.”

“Speed is a huge part of this game. I think speed wins,” said Canadian captain Ian Chan. “Obviously you have to have the technical part of the game and strategy, but if you don’t have speed I don’t think you have much to work

with.” “I started playing this game

back in the mid-90s and to compare the level of play to where it is today is night and day,” added Chan, a Richmond resident. “Athletes are train-ing harder, and chairs are bet-ter. It’s done wonders for the

sport.”Chan is confi dent Canada

has the ingredients, including team speed, needed to fi nish fi rst at the upcoming Paralym-pic Games (Aug. 29 to Sept. 9 in London, England).

“It was a tough battle all the way through (against the U.S.

on Sunday),” he said. “Obvi-ously they’re a very talented team but we came back from a defi cit to keep the game close. You’ve got to tip your hat to them. They were the victors tonight.”

The teams will be on oppo-site pools at the Paralympics

and will be favoured to meet again in the fi nal. But Chan warns that anything can hap-pen.

“There are so many tough teams now at the international level. We’re going to focus on placing fi rst in our pool and take it from there.”

by Don FennellSports Editor

Organizers of the 2012 Canada Cup International Wheelchair Rug-by Championship were pleased with the numerous capacity crowds that enjoyed last week’s tourna-ment at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

But the 600-plus fans that packed in to watch Saturday’s heart-stop-ping fi nal between the top two na-tions in the world, the U.S. and Canada, pales in comparison to the 10,500 fans who in three days reserved all the seats available at the upcoming Paralympic Games Aug. 29 to Sept. 9 in London, Eng-land.

“It’s absolutely amazing,” Great Britain’s Aaron Phipps said follow-ing his team’s fi nal Canada Cup match, a 63-47 loss to No. 4-ranked Sweden on Sunday. “Channel 4’s got the rights to broadcast wheel-chair rugby and it’s completely taken off. Media interest is going crazy and support for us has been phenomenal.”

The interest in the British team, ranked No. 6 in the world, is in-dicative of the phenomenal growth wheelchair rugby is experiencing around the globe.

From a game invented in Win-nipeg in 1977 by a group of quad-

riplegic athletes looking for an alternative to wheelchair basket-ball, that would allow players with reduced arm and hand function to participate equally, “murderball” as wheelchair rugby was originally known, is now played in more than 26 countries.

“I think it’s brilliant (that all the matches at the Paralympic Games have sold out),” said Gail Hama-moto, who co-chaired the Canada Cup with Kathy Newman.

“The (2005) documentary fi lm Murderball (centering on the ri-valry between the Canadian and U.S. teams leading up to the 2004

Paralympic Games) had a lot to do with creating more awareness for sure, but people have really caught on to what a great game it is,” she said. “I’ve watched people come in (to the oval) who weren’t expect-ing to see wheelchair rugby and you see a look of amazement on their face. Once you see the game, you’re hooked.”

Director of Sport Development at BC Wheelchair Sports, Hamamoto said the introduction of the Wheel-chair Rugby Schools Program has also been a boost for the sport.

A legacy of the 2010 world cham-pionships, also held at the Rich-mond Olympic Oval, the program was created as a way of not only getting kids out to watch but to educate them about sport for in-dividuals with a disability. Led by Laurel Crosby, teachers from the Richmond School District gener-ated a resource package, including a manual teachers can use in the classroom.

“The way it’s written keeps with the provincial schools curriculum and fi ts nicely into the daily teach-ing environment,” said Hamamo-to. “Paired with the school demo program, athletes are invited to share their stories and students are invited to cheer them on and put their knowledge to use at the event itself.”

With provincial government funding, a website www.wcrug-byschool.com has been created featuring resources that can be downloaded for use worldwide.

The Pirates discov-ered gold at Gibbons Park Thursday.

In the most dramat-ic fi nish possible, Ga-briel Sussenbacher-Fu clubbed a two-run inside-the-park hom-er on a full count and two out in the fi nal inning as the Pirates edged the Red Sox 7-6 for the Richmond City Baseball Associ-ation Mosquito Divi-sion championship.

The Red Sox were equally brilliant, and just moments earlier had fended off the Pirates by throwing a runner out to pre-serve a narrow 6-5 lead.

The Pirates were coached by Wayne Pulis and Derek Howells, while the Red Sox were guid-ed by Scott Lunny, Chris Dinnell and Ted Lunny.

High-level soccer returns to the local pitch this Can-ada Day long weekend, as the Richmond-Vancouver Fusion host the BC Soccer youth provincial Premier Cup finals at Mi-noru Park.

The action kicks off Friday at 7 p.m. with a match between the Fusion’s un-der-18 boys’ team and either Coquitlam Metro Ford U17. The winner will play either Thompson Okanagan or Coquitlam Metro Ford U18 in the fi nal Sunday at 9:30 a.m.

The boys’ fi nals get un-derway Saturday at 10 a.m. with the under-13 championship match, fol-lowed by the under-14s at noon, under-15s at 2 p.m., and under-16s at 4:30 p.m.

In girls’ finals slated for Sunday, Fusion will meet South Fraser in the

under-13 championship game at 9:30 a.m., fol-lowed by the under-14s at noon, under-16s at 2 p.m., under-18s at 4:30 p.m. and under-15s at 5 p.m.

“As the vice-chair of the Fusion and chair of

Richmond Girls’ Soccer, I’m very pleased with the show of the Fu-sion in the run-up

to the finals and also proud that Rich-

mond is going to host another seminal (soccer) event,” said Aiman El-Ramly.

El-Ramly said with any new program, like the B.C. High Performance Soccer League, there are going to be “a few bolts rattle about, but I’m amazed at what the Fusion has been able to put out in a year. I think we made a good choice with (Richmond youth soccer grad and former Whitecap) Jason Jordan as technical di-rector, hence the results show on the fi eld.”

The Richmond Islanders 95B girls’ softball team mined gold in a recent Midget Division tournament in Newton, defeating Burnaby Oakeys 11-0 in the title game after advancing with an 8-2 semifi nal win over North Vancouver Stars.

Pitchers Amanda Mattice, Kelly Randall and Ellyn Hill kept their opponents’ bats at bay, backed up with some solid defence by Mariyah Hamzajic, Chelsea Riva,

Camille Robinson, Cara Eckert, Dana Pengilley, Marta Gorgopa, Syd Stanley and Allie Foell.

Pengilley, hitting in the clean-up spot, led the offence with some timely hits including several for extra bases. Hamzajic added a home run and Riva a triple.

Pengilley cleans up for gold medal-winning IslesVancouver Whitecaps FC Tuesday loaned striker Caleb Clarke

of Richmond to FC Rot-Weiss Erfurt of Germany’s third-tier team until July 7. If the tryout is successful, Clarke will likely be loaned to FC Rot-Weiss Erfurt for one year.

“Caleb has enjoyed tremendous success since joining the club,” said Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie. “The timing of the trial is a little unfortunate with the start of the USSDA playoffs this week.”

Clarke, 19, fi nished the United States Soccer Development Academy regular season second overall in scoring with 24 goals in 23 matches in the 78-club league. He currently leads Whitecaps FC’s United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League U23 side with fi ve goals.

Peewee Selects impress at Super Elite ClassicRichmond-based Selects

Hockey BC fi nished second to Saskatchewan in the Super Elite Under-12 Divi-

sion at last week’s North American Hockey Classic in Winnipeg.

Attracting the strongest

female spring hockey teams from Western Can-ada and the Northern U.S., the Selects are made up of

top 1999- and 2000-born players from throughout B.C. and Washington State. Selects Hockey BC

consists of girls playing female and boys’ hockey and is coached by Rich-mond Ravens Peewee AA coaches Tony Lindsay and Tony Wong and Richmond Blues Peewee A1 coach Al Wozney. The squad fea-tures five players from the Ravens: Nicole White, Lauren Howlett, Nicole Wong, Hannah Shihundu and Kate Reilly, as well as two players from the Blues: Courtney Vorster and Ghini Sy.

The Selects (undefeat-ed in spring league play) opened the tournament with a 0-0 tie against Mani-toba, but after a 3-1 loss to

Saskatchewan needed to win their next game to ad-vance to the playoffs and responded with their best game of the tournament to defeat a very good Minne-sota team 6-2. The victory earned them a semifi nal date against the Steal-ers, a team made up of top players from Western Canada, Northern Ontario and Minnesota. In a game described by tournament organizers as the best they had seen all spring, the Se-lects jumped out to a 2-0 lead and held on for a 2-1 victory and a rematch with Saskatchewan. Despite a great effort, Selects lost

the gold-medal final to Saskatchewan 4-0.

The Selects also placed second in the Alberta AAA Champions Cup in April.

“We are very proud of our Selects Hockey BC team, which is the top Peewee spring female team in B.C., and proud of the strength of our Richmond repre-sentation,” said Lindsay. “Our Richmond players consistently demonstrated they could compete with the top players in Western Canada. It also speaks vol-umes about our Ravens program and sets us up for a very exciting winter season.”

Seven Richmond players suited up for the BC Selects Peewee spring team.

BusinessReport | JUNE 27, 2012 A Supplement to The Richmond Review 18 richmondchamber.ca

On June 25 and 26, intermediate students from one of B.C.’s

top-ranked private schools will become the fi rst students to use Knowillage – an online adaptive learning engine that provides personalized study plans in a completely innovative way.

Knowillage ensures improved grades via personally tailored (and signifi cantly shorter) learning paths using open-source content like Wikipedia from the internet. This removes limitations of traditional teaching methods, decreases the time needed to learn, and allows students to take full advantage of individual learning styles and abilities through a free and accessible platform. Using the program will come easily to students, most of whom already use similar

technologies like Facebook and Google on a regular basis.

The innovation behind Knowillage is Richmond’s Hypercube Technology Corp. – named one of the Top 100 fastest growing technology companies in Canada by “Business in Vancouver ”, and “Profi t 100” magazines. Hypercube is comprised of many key people behind several large and successful e-learning applications, and, with that proven record for success, anticipates that Knowillage is destined to become an integral part of the way we learn.

With these early trials of Knowillage, Hypercube is a British

Columbian business on the brink of joining the ranks of other notables in the online learning/service industry. The fi eld study will take place at Southpointe Academy in Tsawwassen, and aims to demonstrate a practical application of the Knowillage product in real-time.

BC company to transform the way in which we learnW

hether you’re just starting out or you’re interested in growing your audience, follow these eight simple

best business practices to build your followers, reputation and customer engagement on Twitter:1. Sneak peaks

Allow followers to make a connection with your business. Share behind the scene photos of new product lines, new employees, trips to see suppliers. Share tasters of projects and events you’re developing. Your followers look to you to fi nd out the latest information, so why not give it to them. 2. Pay attention to your mentions

People don’t always use your handle when commenting about your business, so run regular searches on your name, brand and products to monitor what people are saying. 3. Ask Questions

Your followers are also likely to be your target audience, so use them for market research and feedback. Ask your followers questions and gather valuable insights of what they’re looking to your business for. It also shows that you’re listening and you care.4. Respond in Real Time

As a small business owner, you’re likely to wear many hats, with social media being just one

of them. This probably means that you fi nd it hard to make time to respond to followers in real time, but it is important to try. Whether it’s a quick thanks, or I’ll look into and come back to you. Let your followers know that you’re there and you appreciate their interaction. 5. Reward your Followers

Tweet special offers, discounts and time-sensitive deals to your followers to thank them for following you. They are likely to retweet them too, which will help you gain more followers.6. Position yourself as an Expert

Demonstrate that you keep up-to-date on industry trends and events by sharing relevant articles and links. Use your tweet

to ask for your follower’s opinion or to make a comment to show your knowledge: either way you’re showing them you look at the bigger picture as it relates to your business.7. Champion your Stakeholders

Follow your followers and customers. If they tweet something interesting, retweet it or reply to them publicly and build your relationship.8. Establish the Right Tone

Think about who you’re talking to and how you want to appear to them on Twitter. Users tend to prefer direct, genuine and friendly tones, so make sure you think about your ‘voice’ as you tweet.

If you’re considering buying a new home or refi nancing/renewing your current mortgage, it would be a wise move to act before July 9th! The Federal Government announced June 21st, 2012 four new clampdowns on insured mortgages that will quickly come into effect on Monday, July 9th, 2012. These changes include: • Reducing the maximum amortization period to 25 years from

30 years • Reducing the maximum amount of equity homeowners can

take out of their homes when refi nancing to 80% from the current 85%

• Limiting the availability of government-backed mortgages to homes with a purchase price of less than $1 million

• Fixing the maximum gross debt service ratio at 39% and the maximum total debt service ratio at 44%

The fi rst two changes will have the biggest impact on Canadian borrowers. If you’d like to review your options or if you have any questions, please give me a call or send me an email, and I’ll be happy to discuss how these changes may affect your mortgage situation. I am never too busy for you or your referrals!

OVER 300 CARS LIVE MUSIC

AMAZING FOOD 100,000 ATTENDEES

CUSTOM MOTORCYCLES FREE FAMILY EVENT

Tons of great food, music, performances

and lots of shop-ping meant that there was some-thing for every-

one at the grand opening of the Richmond Night Market last Sunday evening.

“Everything turned out, I would say, per-fectly,” said Raymond Cheung, the owner and organizer of the Rich-mond Night Market.

“It was a great suc-cess.”

The market’s large lot was packed full of people enjoying the sunshine, many of whom gathered around the main stage for the opening ceremonies.

Local politicians gave speeches on stage and those who played key roles in getting the night market going in just three months were recognized.

“[It was great] know-ing that we are back in business,” Cheung said of the evening.

Following formal pre-sentations there were performances, includ-ing dance numbers and live music.

The traditional Chi-nese lion dance was a crowd favourite.

“I think it was pretty impressive,” said

Cheung. The Richmond Night

Market features over 200 venders, selling everything from iP-hone cases to clothing, and an 88-booth food court where guests can enjoy a variety of Asian cuisines or opt for a deep fried choco-late bar.

Over the course of the summer the night mar-ket will host a variety of events.
