Much still to belearned fromtreating traumaticbrain injuries

by Don FennellSports Editor

B randon Woo loveshockey. But he espe-cially loves to play it.

His appreciation for the latter be-came even more apparent early lastseason when a concussion forcedhim to the sidelines.

Woo was a 14-year-old left wingerfor the Seafair Islanders Bantam A2hockey team when he was struck,unexpectedly, in the side of thehead (wearing a helmet) followingan errant slapshot. It left him dizzy,nauseous and exhausted. He sleptas much as 18 hours a day duringthe following week, and missed atotal of three weeks of school, caus-ing him to struggle to catch up inthe challenging subjects of scienceand math.There was a great sense of relief

when, six weeks later, he wascleared to return to play. But instinc-tively he hit the ice when anotherplayer wound up for a slapshot.“I didn’t know the injury was

making my brain waves different,”he told doctors. “I thought my brain

just swelled up.”Woo, who expects to begin

playing Midget Division hockeyin September, is participating in astudy by Dr. Naznin Virji-Babul, as-sistant professor in the departmentof physical therapy at University ofB.C. Faculity of Medicine. He hopeshis experience will help both team-mates and other athletes who playhigh-risk sports.Unfortunately, Woo’s concussion

wasn’t his first. When he was sixhe fell on his head playing on hisjungle gym, and though he has littlerecollection of the incident, appar-ently threw up the day after andwas tired for quite a while.The latest concussion, however,

Bribes reported byICBC driver examinersPair facing criminal charge of offeringbribe to government official

by Martin van den HemelStaff ReporterTwo people are in hot water after trying to bribe their

way to a new driver’s licence.Li Liu and Shun Xian Zhu are both charged with offering

to bribe a government official in two separate and unre-lated incidents.According to ICBC’s Leslie Dickson, both charges related

to attempts to bribe an ICBC driver examiner during a roadtest.Liu is charged with the offence on April 8, 2014, while

Zhu was reported to have done the same less than twomonths later, on June 2, 2014.“In both cases, the driver examiners acted correctly and

reported the incidents,” Dickson said.Zhu is next scheduled to appear in Richmond provincial

court on May 26, while Liu was scheduled to appear incourt again yesterday.ICBC spokesperson Adam Grossman said these types of

cases are “very rare.”Last year, out of nearly 500,000 road and knowledge

tests, there were nine attempts to bribe an ICBC workerand none were successful.In each case, Grossman said the examiner “acted cor-

rectly by reporting the incident.”Over the past seven years, there have been fewer than

60 cases.

From Page 1“We have to be willing to

stare down the problem andfind logical solutions to it,”Day said.Brian and Linda Cooper

live in the Blundell neigh-bourhood next to a mansionbuilt a few years ago. It’ssold at least three times—and has even been reno-vated once—but it’s neverbeen lived in.Plenty of other new homes

are sitting vacant nearby,said Linda Cooper.“The neighbourhood’s

gone. I’m so happy that mychildren grew up in a neigh-bourhood where there wasno gates,” she said. “Our kidsall walked to school, theyall got to know each other.Now I swear I have not seenchildren in our neighbour-hood for years.”An idea from Coun. Harold

Steves could help slow thepace of demolitions in thefirst place.“The houses are going

down, just dropping likeflies,” he told his council col-leagues Monday. “I think weneed a program where weput a huge fee on housedemolitions and have thosehouses saved again.”The current cost of a demo-

lition permit in Richmond is$434. Last year Richmondissued 521 demolition per-mits for single family dwell-ings—close to the five-yearaverage of 511.

85-foot vessel wasabout to be lifted outof the water: cause ofcapsizing still underinvestigation

by Martin van den HemelStaff ReporterAn 85-foot fishing boat capsized

Tuesday morning at the Shelter IslandMarina near the foot of Graybar Roadin East Richmond, and released eitherdiesel fuel or engine oil into the FraserRiver.

Dan Bate, spokesperson for the Ca-nadian Coast Guard, said the fish boatWestern Crusader had just recentlybeen moved to the Lower Mainlandfrom Campbell River, and its fuel tankswere empty.The sheen that was seen flowing

down the Fraser River is believed to beremnants from the engine room andthe bilge.Bate classified this incident as a “mi-

nor spill”and said the owner is makingarrangements to bring in a barge and acrane to pluck the ship out of thewater.Port Metro Vancouver spokesperson

John Parker-Jervis said the ship cap-sized in relatively shallow water, anda Port Metro Vancouver patrol boat, aswell as a Canadian Coast Guard hover-craft, responded to the scene shortly

before 8 a.m.There were no injuries, and nobody

was aboard the vessel at the time itcapsized.Parker-Jervis said the boat was about

to be lifted out of the water by thema-rina’s travel lift.The cause of the capsizing remains

under investigation.Absorbent pads were deployed

around the ship, and a containmentboom was placed around it to preventmore contaminants from leaking out ofthe vessel.The Canadian Coast Guard is respon-

sible for clean up, but Parker-Jervissaid the light sheen that was seen inthe water was deemed to either bediesel fuel or engine oil, and not re-coverable.

came up with the idea ofopening his restaurant onChristmas Day and havinghis employees volunteertheir time, and donate theirtips and the restaurant’sproceeds to the RichmondHospital Foundation, passedaway Monday.Mike Karamanian, a former

waiter at White Spot, de-scribed his former boss and

friend as an “amazing manwho did so much for otherswhile asking for nothing inreturn.”Ganatra worked tirelessly,

Karamanian said, to ensureeveryone felt welcome andat home at the restaurant.Karamanian said Ganatra

was a hardworking and pri-vate man, and that he andhis family preferred to stayout of the spotlight, whichhe instead directed towardhis staff.“It was Prakash’s idea to

open on Christmas Dayand donate all proceeds tothe Richmond Hospital. Henever once took credit forstarting this phenomenaltradition in Richmond; in-stead he raved about hisamazing staff that wouldcome in and work for free.He was the guy who handedout countless Triple O plat-ter cards to fundraisers allover the city. His famous

question was, “Just tell mehow many you need?”It was in September of

2002, when Karamanianwas working as aWhite Spotwaiter, when he performedthe Heimlich manoeuvre ona customer who was chok-ing on a bagel.

“He was so proud of meand he raved about that dayall the time, you, me andmost of Richmondhave fondmemories ofWhite Spot andwithout Prakash it just won’tbe the same.”For Karamanian and his

friends, working at WhiteSpot wasn’t just a job.“He treated us like family.

An amazing guy,” he said.Ganatra’s passing also

meant heavy hearts at theRichmond Hospital Foun-dation.“Prakash was a champion

of local health care herein Richmond and a long-standing, committed andgenerous supporter ofRichmond Hospital Foun-dation.We offer our condo-lences to Prakash’s familyand the entire staff ofWhiteSpot Richmond Centre,”said Natalie Meixner, presi-dent and CEO of RichmondHospital Foundation.

Richmond’s motion to limitport powers gains traction,but one councillor comesto port’s defence

by Matthew HoekstraStaff ReporterA letter from Port Metro Vancouver urging

Richmond to partner with the federal agencyto protect industrial land—not just farm-land—got a cool receptionMonday.Richmond is proposing to

limit port powers, and is seek-ing support from a trio ofmunicipal organizations: theLower Mainland Local Govern-ment Association, the Unionof B.C. Municipalities and theFederation of Canadian Mu-nicipalities.Richmond’s resolution re-

quests the federal govern-ment to cancel the transfer of92.8 hectares of East Richmondfarmland—the former Gilmorefarm—to the port. It also asksto ban the port from buyingmore farmland, and to set up aformal dispute resolution pro-cess with municipalities.The Lower Mainland Local Government As-

sociation backed the resolution at its annualconference last week.But Robin Silvester, port president and CEO,

urged Richmond to broaden its motion by in-cluding protections for industrial land, whichwill help relieve pressure to develop farmland.“Both Port Metro Vancouver and the City

of Richmond share the goal of a sustainablefuture. It is important to act now and worktogether, rather than point fingers and try toplace blame on any one entity for a complexproblem,” said Silvester in an April 30 letter.“Land use decisions of the past have created

a crisis in this region that cannot be solvedby simply pitting agriculture against industry.Both are important to the region.”Although the Agricultural Land Commission

began protecting some farmland from devel-

opment in 1973, so similar protection existsfor industrial land. Silvester also said citiesare converting industrial land to other “at analarming rate.”Remaining industrial land suitable for port

and related businesses could run out in thenext decade, Silvester warned, while notingindustrial activity is crucial to Richmond’seconomy. One-third of Richmond’s jobs arein industry, he said.Coun. Ken Johnston acknowledged the port

is an“unbelievable economic driver,”but tookissue with the port designating the Gilmorefarm a“special study area.”

“To me that’s less thanforthcoming, if I can be gen-tle about it,” he said. “If youweren’t going to develop it inthe future—if you didn’t havea long-term view to develop itas industrial land—whywouldyou put a special designationin? I’ve always struggled withthat.”Coun. Harold Steves said

the port’s letter amounted to“kicking us around,” addingthe federal agency needs tobe brought under “democrat-ic control” in light of plans tofurther industrialize the FraserRiver.“We have a lot to lose if the

port gets their way, and I thinkwe should fight them every step of the way.”Council’smotionwill nowgo to theUnion of

B.C. Municipalities convention in Septemberafter its success at the LMLGA.“There was a lot of support for us fromwith-

in our association,” said Coun. Linda McPhail,who attended last week’s conference in Har-rison Hot Springs. “So this is not just happen-ing in Richmond, this is happening across theLower Mainland.”But Coun. Alexa Loo came to the port’s de-

fence Monday, saying it balances needs foragricultural and industrial land across theregion. She added the port contributes jobs,and she doesn’t want Richmond to become abedroom community.Said Loo: “Not all of our farmland here in

Richmond produces food for local consump-tion. So it’s not all about protecting everysingle acre all the time necessarily.”

Farms and industry bothimportant, says port

Coun. Ken Johnston takesissuewiththeportdesignatingthe Gilmore farm a ‘specialstudyarea.’

Population growthin Richmond couldresult in additionalelectoral riding

by Matthew HoekstraStaff ReporterRichmond voters will send

an additional politician to theB.C. legislature in 2017 if pro-vincial lawmakers approvean expected recommenda-tion from the B.C. ElectoralBoundaries Commission.Population growth in

Richmond and New West-minster has prompted thecommission to suggest theformation of a fourth ridingon Lulu Island: Richmond-Queensborough.

Richmond council formallyendorsed the idea Monday.“I think Queensborough,

Hamilton, East Richmond al-most fit together,” said Coun.Ken Johnston Monday, whospoke at the commission’srecent public hearing inRichmond. “We certainly aredeserving of another riding,just based on populationnumbers.”The commission’s prelimi-

nary report also suggestsadding another riding inSurrey, which would expandB.C.’s political landscape to87 electoral districts from thecurrent 85.The B.C. legislature is ex-

pected to vote on the pro-posed changes sometimeafter the commission tablesits final report Sept. 25.

From Page 1“I didn’t feel right. I had bad headaches

for the first few days, and my doctor said Iwas walking off balance, leaning towardsmy left,” he said.For the first two weeks, he wasn’t al-

lowed to play video games or watch TV.Even attending classes was out of thequestion. Soon he went from simply be-ing bored to downright annoyed.“I don’t know if there was anything I

could have done differently to avoid theconcussion,” said Woo. “But I think thenew head contact rule is good though,because it creates more awareness in thegame.”

Post-concussion syndromeprematurely ended Richmondresident Jaroslav “Yogi” Sve-

jkovsky’s pro hockey career.Though “Yogi” is today symptom free, a

respected coach and widely-sought-afterhockey instructor, he was in the midst ofa promising NHL career in the late 1990swhen he was forced into retirement. Butthe first-round pick, 17th overall by theWashington Capitals in the 1996 NHL En-try Draft, is grateful for the 113 games hewas able to play with the Caps and TampaBay Lightning.Svejkovsky suffered the first of three

concussions during his third pro season.The second occurred before that seasonended.In the first instance, only five minutes

remained in a game against MontrealCanadiens when he got a puck in the jawand felt nauseous. The second was the re-sult of a elbow to the jaw during overtimeof a late-season game versus the NewYork Rangers. Accompanying the teamtrainer back to the locker room, he knewsomething wasn’t right. And this time, thefeelings lingered longer.But after recovering and regaining

his confidence, Svejkovsky suffered aknee injury prior to the 2000-01 season.Tampa Bay Lightning, to which he hadbeen traded, asked him to play a coupleof games for their International HockeyLeague affiliate in Detroit before return-ing full-time to the Lightning. But in thesecond of those games he was checkedhard after playing a puck. Memory losswas just one of the issues he dealt with asa result of that concussion.

Cody Kusch, too, experienced aconcussion playing hockey. Aforward, he was skating into

the corner to retrieve a puck whenan opposing defenceman cross-checked him into the boards andhe briefly lost consciousness. Whenhe came to a minute later he felt alight tingling sensation and numb-ness throughout his body. While hewas convinced he could continueplaying, fortunately his dad thoughtotherwise and took him to thehospital. He had no idea he had suf-fered a concussion.Not only did the incident spell the end

of his minor hockey career, but laterinspired Kusch to take the initiative to ad-dress the issue.In 2011, Kusch (the father of two chil-

dren who both play minor hockey) spear-headed efforts to improve safety in youthsport. As vice-president and director ofcommunity operations at Seafair MinorHockey, he convinced the association todevelop a concussion protocol for all ofits 650-plus players. No other such proto-col was known to exist at the time.Working closely with Richmond-based

Evolution Sport Therapy, whose athletictherapy team tested players from twoof Seafair’s Atom Division and Midgetrep teams at its clinic, Seafair effectivelyimplemented the ground-breaking pro-tocol after first establishing a neededbaseline. Using the Sport ConcussionAssessment Tool 2 (SCAT2) representinga standardized method of evaluatinginjured ahtletes aged 10 and over for aconcussion, players were put through aseries of cognative and physical evalu-ations to produce a baseline score. Thescore, which varies from player to player,can be a valuable tool if the athlete suf-fers a concussion in the future.At the time, Kusch said it was important

to understand what to do, and knowthere is support available, “so we don’thave to deal with a kid possibly playingwith a concussion.” But he also stressedthat everyone needs to be aware of thelong-term effects should a child suffer aconcussion.

Concussions are an ‘invisible

A ssociate director andsports injury specialist atthe B.C. Injury Research

and Prevention Unit at B.C. Chil-dren’s Hospital, and clinical as-sistant professor in the depart-ment of pediatrics at Universityof B.C., Dr. Shelina Babul saidthe number of incidents, ormore likely the growing aware-ness of concussions, has madeconcussions a hot button issue.But it’s not new. And nor are concus-

sions limited to the head, though theyare often associated with head injuries.Describing concussions as an “invis-

ible epidemic” sweeping sports andleisure activities—and affecting peopleof all ages—Babul said there contin-ues to be a need to raise the level ofawareness in monitoring and treatingconcussion injuries.Estimating that 15 per cent of the

population experiences long-termconsequences from brain injuries, Ba-bul emphasized the important for thebruised brain to be able to rest itselfafter a concussion. She said this canonly be done by resting mentally andphysically to allow the brain to returnto 100 per cent. At the same time,however, she emphasized that everyconcussion is different and only 10 percent result in loss of consciousness.It is estimated six in every thousand

people suffers a concussion annually.That makes it an issue worth talkingabout, ensuring concussions are prop-erly diagnosed and treated efficiently

and effectively.Some might suggest giving up sports,

or physical activity, altogether wouldbe a good place to start. But Babul isn’tprescribing anything that extreme.“We need to really raise awareness,”

she stressed. “And what we should do ifa concussion occurs.”Babul said concussions really started

to become a hot-button topic follow-ing the tragic death of actor NatashaRichardson in 2009. She sustained ahead injury after a seemingly harm-less fall while taking a beginner skiinglesson at Mont Tremblant Resort nearMontreal. Initially she seemed fine, butlater collapsed en route to hospital.“That peaked researchers interest,

but it wasn’t really until Sidney Crosby’sdealing with concussions that peoplereally started listening,”Babul said.The lingering effects from a concus-

sion, suffered during the 2010-11National Hockey League season causedarguably the game’s best player to missthe final 41 games of the schedule andsubsequently the first 20 games of the2011-12 campaign.“But if you haven’t experienced a

concussion you really don’t knowwhat an individual is going through,”Babul said. “Eighty-five per cent ofthose are resolved in as little as 10 to

15 days. But that’s not for everyone.”

I t wasn’t that long ago thatconcussions were widelydiagnosed incorrectly.

“It’s just a bump to the head,” folkswere told. “You’re good to go.”Babul said rest is critical following

a concussion. At least 48 hours is re-quired for the brain to rest.“Basically a concussion is a bruising

of the brain and no two are alike,” shesaid. “Each needs to be treated on acase by case basis. You can have a situ-ation where the intensity of the injuryis the same but one individual willrecover after seven days and anotherwill need seven months.We don’t knowwhy.”Babul also cautioned that while ev-

erything might seem fine, any potentialconcussion must be checked out byqualified medical personnel. With eachconcussion suffered, the potential foranother rises significantly.“You’re three times more likely to

suffer a second concussion, and for itto be significantly more impactful, aftersuffering your first,” she said. “And if yougo back and play and suffer at thirdconcussion, you’re nine times morelikely to suffer a significant brain injuryand possible death.”But, again, Babul stressed that

shouldn’t lead one to give up playingsports or participate in a physical activ-ity. She simply encourages individualsto take precautions and be aware oftheir surroundings. And, above all, notto ignore any of the signs of a possibleconcussion.

Ex-Richmond schooltrustee Annie McKitrickhandily wins provincialseat with Alberta NDP

by Matthew HoekstraStaff ReporterA former Richmond school trustee is

now an Alberta MLA.

Annie McKitrick rode the orangewave of support for the Alberta NDPparty in theMay 5 provincial election,winning the seat of Sherwood Park bya wide margin.McKitrick finishedwith 52.1 per cent

of ballots.Her 11,377 votes was double that of

Progressive Conservative incumbentCathy Olesen, who finished with just5,648 votes.McKitrick served as a Richmond

school trustee for nine years, andwas last elected by Richmond voters

in 2002 as amember of the RichmondIndependent Team of Electors.In 2005 she ran for a seat on Rich-

mond council, but came up short.The following year she took a job

with University of Victoria, whichlasted until 2011, according to heronline profile.She has since moved to Sherwood

Park, a community that borders Ed-monton.“Day 2 as an MLA-elect and ad-

justing to the new chaos in mylife,” McKitrick wrote on Facebook

May 7.“Hoping to go on my first bike ride

of the season tomorrow and lookingforward tomy first caucusmeeting onthe weekend.”McKitrick was poised to run in the

next federal election, having ear-lier won the NDP nomination for theSherwood Park-area riding.Led by leader Rachel Notley, the Al-

berta New Democrats toppled a 44-year Progressive Conservative rule inAlberta, winning a majority govern-ment with 53 of 87 seats.

A lbertans havealways laughedabout their

long-standing repu-tation as a reckless,immature society.The classic bumper sticker,

nowavailable as aT-shirt orcoffee cup in several varia-tions, states:“PleaseGod,give us onemoreoil boom,wepromisenot top--- itaway this time.”Now they’ve thrownout

abruptly replaced the 44-year ProgressiveConserva-tive dynastywith anupstartNDP thatwants to tax therich and corporations evenmore.

even theNDP is afraid toresort to a sales tax.Theminimumwagehike

has promised to end corpo-rate anduniondonationstopolitical parties, as has

Is the OrangeTsunami headed west?

B.C.ViewsTom Fletcher

They represent the bestof the local sportsscene, whose efforts

deserve special recognition.Furthermore, they inspire others

to take up a similar pursuit or toshare their talents so that otherscan realize their goals.Last Thursday, a small number of

a much larger group that makesup our community’s significantsports scene were recognized atthe 16th annual Richmond SportsAwards held at R.A. McMath Sec-ondary School. Starting on Page19 of this special Sports Edition ofThe Richmond Review, we sharejust a small sampling of their sto-ries with you.This year, 2015, is the Year of

Sports in Canada. It was pro-

claimed such by David Johnston,Governor General of Canada, at aceremony on Parliament Hill lastOctober.The Year of Sport is an oppor-

tunity for all of us to celebratethe role sport plays in our lives. Itaffects everyone, either directlyor indirectly. And this year willbe particularly memorable for allCanadians as our great nationgets set to host the FIFAWomen’sWorld Cup of soccer as well as thePan and Parapan American Games.While these events will allow us

to cheer on our athletes as theycompete against the best in theworld, it’s important to also recog-nize the importance of grassrootsathletics. It’s where the very sameathletes we’ll cheer this summerfirst developed their skills, and

love, for sport.Sport, quite literally, tugs at our

hearts and challenges us physi-cally. And whether we actively par-ticipate or not, we can’t help butbe impacted one way or another.Every practice, every game is a

once-in-a-lifetime experience.Nothing exemplified the power

of sport at a local level, or indeedacross the land, more than ourengagement in the 2010 OlympicWinter Games. Initially, somewereapprehensive about the Games. Butit didn’t long before wewarmed upto the idea, and once a young skijumper fromQuebec won amedalthe Gold Rush was on.There became enormous pride

in our hosting the world, and inour typically awe-shucks manner,we took great joy in our athletes

proving to be on par with the bestin the world.When Sidney Crosby, arguably

the best hockey player in theworld, perhaps fittingly scored theGolden Goal to lift Canada past theUnited States in the men’s hockeyfinal on the last day of the Games,we had not only topped the medalstandings but had set a record, 37,for the most medals by any nationat a singleWinter Olympics.Canada changed, for the bet-

ter, because of our investmentin those Games.We began toappreciate our immense talents.And as we waved the flag, widesmiles stretched across our faces,we showed the pride in beingCanadian, eh?That’s the kind of power sport

has.

Editor:Children caught up in family crisis are

placed in foster homes operated by the B.C.Ministry of Children and Family Develop-ment. But there are 16,000 children in thisprovince unable to live with their families oforigin, so the need is tremendous.Foster children face an average of seven

moves in and out of different homes before“aging out” of the system which oftenmeans their access to education is cut offjust when their adult lives should be begin-ning. Another sad fact is that less than aquarter of foster children graduate highschool.SOS Children’s Village B.C., founded by

Richmond residents Lois and Gilles Boucha-rd, has built and supports five homes where

kids and their siblings find long-term carewithin a family. SOS programs and therapieshelp these children and other at-risk young-sters in our communities. The SOS Transition-ing into Adulthood program guides themwith educational or career goals.On Sunday, May 24, the 7th annual 10 and

Editor:I’d like to congratulate

the City of Richmond forbeing on pace to carbonneutrality for a secondstraight year.I wish our provincial

and federal governmentswould take notice ofRichmond’s prowess onaddressing environmentalissues and mitigating risksto our climate.Thanks to Canada’s Na-

tional Inventory Report’srelease this month, wenow have full climate datathrough 2013.B.C.’s carbon emissions

have been increasing since2010.Last month, the fed-

eral environment ministerwrote to Mary Polak, B.C.’senvironment minister say-

ing that B.C. is failing tomeet 2020 greenhouse gasemissions targets. In fact,B.C. is on pace to increaseemissions by 11% by 2020instead of meeting theirobligation of reducingemissions by 33% of 2007levels by 2020.Last month, Environment

Canada announced thatemissions rose in 2013and that Canada will likelyfail to meet internationalobligations with respect to2020 targets.Ninety-seven per cent

of climate scientists agreethat man-made globalwarming is real and thatwe need to address it.The U.S. Pentagon says

climate change is a nation-al security issue. The WorldFood Program estimates

that the number of peoplewho could be affected byclimate change-relateddisasters could reach 375million per year. Oxfamestimates that food pricescould rise by 50-60% by2030 thanks to climatechange.There’s been zero leader-

ship coming from PremierChristy Clark on this issue.She believes in man-madeclimate change but judg-ing from her actions, orlack there of, she doesn’tbelieve in combatting it.It’s clear that the publicwants some sort of actionon climate change. Therejust hasn’t been any com-ing from the B.C. Liberalgovernment.

Richmond Hospital Foundation recog-nized its donors and health care teams thatmake great local health care possible at itsannual donor recognition night last Thurs-day at Gateway Theatre.The Kronier Family were winners of the

Milan & Maureen Ilich Philanthropic Awardof Distinction Award.Named after the Ilich family, who have

been tremendous supporters of RichmondHospital, the award was created to recognizephilanthropic leaders and those who inspireothers to give to Richmond Hospital Founda-tion.“Milan and Maureen Ilich and their family,

Laurie and Rick, have always tried to inspireothers to help change lives through their phi-lanthropy,”said NatalieMeixner, president andCEO of Richmond Hospital Foundation.Al and Betty Kronier moved to Richmond

in 1952. The Kroniers began the family busi-ness, Brighouse Hardware, first specializingin hardware sales and later expanding toappliance repair, equipment sales and toolrentals.From the early days, family members were

instilled with a strong belief that there wasabsolutely nothing that you couldn’t do. Youjust needed to put your mind to it.When Al passed away, the family received

a number of letters and learned of manyof the people he had helped, quietly andanonymously. Al had touched many livesand the family didn’t know about it. He wasvery proud to be a part of Richmond.With Betty then at the helm of the busi-

ness, her role changed and evolved, evermindful of being philanthropic and alwaysremarking on how fortunate their familywas.

“The Kronier family’s quiet legacy of givingover the years has been borne out of a deepsense of commitment and responsibilityto one’s community,”Meixner said. “In thewords of one of their daughters, ‘If you weregiven talents or gifts, it was your responsibil-ity to use them and help others.’“Their dedication and commitment to

health care now and for the future is trueleadership and an example for all.”The Kronier family has committed to

providing for Richmond Hospital’s EducationFund for the next three years. In honour ofthis, the RIchmond Hospital Foundation hasnamed the fund the Kronier Family Educa-tion Fund for the duration of their gift.The Richmond Hospital Education Fund

was established in 2014 to enable continu-ing education for Richmond’s health careprofessionals. Richmond Hospital Founda-tion matches up to $25,000 per year fromthe Gift of Health Fund to provide $50,000 toenable continuing education.The RichmondHospital Foundation also

presented the PhDof Inspiration Award to Pa-ramjit andGurdip Sandhu of the Ampri Group.This special award is given to thosewho havemade lifetime donations in excess of $250,000to RichmondHospital Foundation.“They, along with their family, sons Prit and

Amit with his wife Reena, have supportedmany areas of care with their donations. Weare also very thankful for their innovativefundraising event, Grind for the Mind whichsupports Person and Family Centred Care inRichmond.”Also recognized were winners of the 2015

Doctor of Philanthropy Award. Each hasreached the milestone of giving $50,000 ormore in total donations and contributions.

Those receiving Doctor of PhilanthropyAwards were:•Pritam Singh & Mohinder Kaur Basi.•Brooke Radiology Associates.•Donald & Sandra Clark.•Dorset Realty Group Canada Ltd.•Diane Dupuis, The Dupuis Langen Group.•Mel & Barbara Goodwin.•Eric & Kamal Gaunder, Hayden Diamond

Spring menswear trends

Comfort is key forfashion trends thisseason in both mens

and womenswear. Someof the big trends for springand summer are denimand utilitarian, bringinga practical and casualtouch to the collections.Whether you’re sprucingup your own wardrobe or

updating your man’s looksfor spring, here are someof the hottest trends inmenswear this season.If there’s only one

trend to invest in, it’s thekhaki suit. The trend wasspotted at Berluti andJohn Varvatos, makinga huge impact on therunways for spring andsummer. Easy to dress upand down, pair a khaki suitwith a button up and tiefor more formal occasions,or go casual with a teeshirt and sneakers. The

lighter shade is also agreat alternative to theblack suit for attendingweddings in the warmermonths.And

since the utilitarian colouris also a neutral, the khakisuit can go with just aboutanything in your closet.For a combo that justscreams summer andleisure, pair khaki withwhite. Chances are,khaki and white pieceswill already be in yourwardrobe —making thistrend super wearable.The khaki and whitepairing were seen atCalvin Klein and LouisVuitton.If neutrals aren’t your

thing, then go dramaticthis season withbright pops of colouror graphic prints andpatterns. Vivid shadesare on trend this seasonfor menswear. DiorHomme sent a flurryof colourful blazersdown the runway. AndRaf Simons also playedaround with splashesof colours and graphicprints.Whether big and bold

or more subtle, wearableart created a stir atthe spring menswearshows. Etro showedpieces emblazoned withhypnotic paisley printsand botanical motifs,while Marc Jacobs madea statement with tropicalleaves and flamingopatterns on shirts. Over atMarni, utilitarian garmentswere detailed with darkflorals and wide brushstrokes.One of the hottest

fashion trends of theseason, denim was allthe rage at the springshows. Even typicallyglamorous lines suchas Prada and Tom Fordembraced the Canadiantuxedo this season. Prada’s

collection of denim suitswere presented in arange of blue tones andTom Ford showcasedensembles of denimjackets, indigo shirts andjeans. Patchwork denimshirts were also spottedat Dsquared2. Whetheryour preferences slidetoward light andworn-in or dark, rawdenim, this season’sdenim trends hassomething to suitevery mood.Another big

menswear trend thisseason is the bomberjacket. Dior Homme

and Lanvin gave a sportynod to flight jackets ofthe past. Metallic flightjackets were seen at Louis

Vuitton whileGivenchy toppedof an all-whiteensemble with abomber jacket.Characterized bya zippered frontand elasticizedcuffs and waist,the modern flightjacket is availablein a wide rangeof textures andcolours. Tryadding a touchof sporty casualto your look witha bomber jacketin an unexpected

textile such as leather orsuede.If a trendy statement

piece is too much of acommitment for yourwardrobe, then considerupdating your outfitswith accessories. Asimple touch such as autilitarian military watchor cotton tie can upyour style game. Whitetrainers are another easyaccessory trend to pulloff. The sporty trend tooka sophisticated turn thisseason, leading to stylishminimal white leathertrainers that go well withanything from a suit tobermuda shorts.With comfort and

practicality as the focusfor this season’s mensweartrends, it’s easier thanever to revamp thewardrobe for spring.So refurbish thedenim and khakissitting at the backof your closet andgive your style aboost.

A MESSAGE FROM MARY JORDANCHAIR, BOARD OF DIRECTORSVANCOUVER AIRPORT AUTHORITY

2014 was a year of great ideas and bigachievements by the team on behalf of ourcustomers, our communities, our province andour country.

More people than ever chose to fly through YVRin 2014 and many did this with the help of ourincredible Green Coats. We were proud to honourthese individuals on the 25th anniversary ofYVR’s award-winning volunteer program. OurGreen Coats speak the language of welcome andhelp—and over 30 other languages. This is oneof the reasons YVR once again achieved a highcustomer satisfaction rating in 2014 and receivedthe Skytrax World Airport Award for best airportin North America—for the sixth year in a row.

We continued to build on our strong communityrelationships in 2014, with generous donations

Through ourSpeakers’ Bureau, we shared YVR’s gatewayairport story with communities across theprovince. We also continued popular initiativessuch as the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup,the YVR School Tour Program and the annualQuest Holiday Hamper Drive.

2015 Richmond Sports Awards

Builder: Richard Collier, track and field

RichmondReviewsportseditorDonFennell presented theBuilderHallof Fame inductee award to curlingpioneerDonFisher .

Builder:Don Fisher, curlingThe dictionary defines as

gentleman as “a man whotreats other people in aproper and polite way. And asman of high social status.”In the case of Don Fisher,

both examples are appropri-ate and fitting.Fisher is unfailing in his

dedication to curling, promot-ing the game with a passionlike few others. A member ofthe Pacific International Cupsince the international curling

event began in the late 1990s,Fisher’s efforts have helpedthe annual event grow intoa much-anticipated annualgrassroots event drawingplayers from throughout theworld.Fisher is also the ardent rep-

resentative for the RichmondCurling Club on the RichmondSports Council, attendingmeeting each other to sharethe latest news from the iceand the boardroom.

In track and field circles, near andfar, Richard Collier is a legend. Andwith good reason.For more than two decades, the

quiet-spoken and unassumingCollier has specialized as a throwscoach, helping to shape numerousoutstanding athletic careers in dis-cus, hammer, javelin and shot put.Mainly through the Richmond

Kajaks, but also in his capacity as acoach at the provincial and nationallevels, Collier has coached count-less athletes who have gone to bechampions.But in his addition to his coaching

career, Collier has helped grow trackand field through his efforts as theKajaks’president, and a BC Athleticsboardmember.

Junior Female Athlete of the Year:Camryn Rogers, track and field

As a throws coach, RichardCollier has helped shapenumerous outstandingathletic careers.

CamrynRogers set a newevent record in thegirls’shot put at theB.C. SummerGames inNanaimo last year.

Camryn Rogers enjoyed aremarkably successful 2014season, one that included anew event record in the girls’shot put at the B.C. SummerGamesin Nanaimo. But her most

notable feat may have beenthrough her actions. As the sil-ver and bronze medallists werebeing led off the podium fol-lowing the event, Rogers—thegold-medal winner—grabbedthe hands of the second- andthird-place finishers to ensurethey walked off in unison.She wanted to ensure she

wasn’t viewed as bigger thanthem.Only 15 years of age, Rogers

also placed first in the hammerthrow event, and also last sum-mer earned first in the shot putat the Trevor Craven invitation-al meet, second in the hammerthrow at the B.C. jamboree,and second in the discus eventat the Canadian Legion youthchampionships.FINALIST: Valerie Wideski,

Junior Male Athlete of the Year: Dylan French, fencingA longtime member of Richmond’s

Dynamo Fencing Club, Dylan Frenchstood tall on several fronts during2014.He won two gold and a bronze

Staff call for expressionsof interest to buildfacility on public landby Matthew HoekstraStaff ReporterRichmond City Hall has turned to the

private sector in an attempt to makea long-planned memorial garden areality.A recent request for expressions of

interest calls for a private company todesign, build and operate Richmond’salternative to a cemetery.The call comes a dozen years after

the city embarked on a feasibilitystudy for a place to store and scat-ter human ashes. Since traditionalin-ground burials aren’t possible, orpermitted, in Richmond, the only op-tion for keeping remains is to inter theashes following cremation.“Many residents of Richmond wish

to see a cemetery established in thecity. The city’s location at the mouthof the Fraser River means that there isa high water table that is tidally influ-enced. This condition has historicallyprecluded a traditional cemetery forcasket burial. As a result, the city ispursuing the establishment of a cem-etery for cremated remains, referredto as the Richmond Community Me-morial Garden,” according to the biddocument.City officials say cremation is the

preferred method of disposition, andthe popularity of the bench donationprogram is also testament to the needfor a memorial garden.Such a garden would provide resi-

dents “an attractive, accessible andaffordable”place to inter cremated re-mains, while offering a range of inter-ment options to accommodate differ-ent religious and cultural traditions.At least two hectares (five acres) of

land is needed. City officials have of-fered 19 sites for a private partner to

choose from. That partner is expectedto cover all construction and operat-ing costs, while netting the city a “rea-sonable financial benefit” in exchangefor the use of public land.The sites range include parks, natu-

ral areas and farm properties. Six lo-cations are locked in the AgriculturalLand Reserve and would require high-er approval for non-farm use.None match all the city’s criteria, but

Woodward’s Landing, a 2.5-hectare(6.25-acre) park at the south end ofNo. 5 Road, is favoured by staff. Thesite is outside the ALR, isn’t near resi-dential neighbourhoods, is accessibleby bus and has water views.In the last council term of 2011-2014,

civic politicians made establishing amemorial garden a priority. Numer-ous other councils have pursued theproject in the past only to find chal-lenges of finding a suitable, and per-manent, location. City staff have yetto review submitted bids, accordingto a spokesperson.

by Martin van den HemelStaff ReporterWhen the Big One strikes, the city will be

better prepared to ensure the flow of infor-mation doesn’t stop in the event power andtelephone lines come tumbling down.A new emergency communications vehicle,

replacing one originally purchased in 1981,was unveiled Tuesday afternoon at city hall.The new vehicle will feature three radio op-

erator stations inside the vehicle, as well astwo more that can be positioned outside thevehicle under an awning that can be enclosed.The new vehicle will be able to access ama-

teur radio UHF andVHF frequencies. Amateurradio operators were on hand to provide ademonstration Tuesday during the vehicle’sunveiling.The city has about 30 licenced emergency

communications volunteers who are familiarwith operating the city’s equipment, whichwould also give the city access to the com-mercial radio frequency.These volunteers demonstrate their com-

munication skills during events such as theSteveston Salmon Festival, SOS Run, Terry FoxRun as well as information booths at commu-nity events.An onboard generator will supply power for

all equipment, and the vehiclewill be capableof sending packets of data over amateur radiofrequencies.The new vehicle supplements a communica-

tions trailer, radio equipment at communitycentres and both the primary and secondaryemergency operations centres, to provide a“robust network of communications duringemergencies,” the city said.

by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter

There were no injuries Mondaymorning in a fire that seemedto start slowly before rippingthrough two townhouse unitsat a residential complex at 9111No. 5 Rd.Richmond Mounties were

called to assist at the scene by

Richmond Fire-Rescue around11 a.m.The cause of the fire wasn’t

known early Monday afternoonbut an RCMP officer at the scenesaid there wasn’t anything tosuggest the blaze was suspi-cious.

He said everyone was account-ed for, including all of the pets.Aside from the two destroyedunits, two other adjacent unitsthat were part of the same build-ing, were also evacuated.As firefighters battled the

blaze that tore through the roof

of two adjacent units, residentsfrom surrounding townhomeswatched the fire crews work.One resident said the fire

seemed to be quite smoky andminor when the fire depart-ment arrived, and then suddenlyspread quickly.

Blaze at 9111 No. 5 Rd. not suspicious, police say

London Farm was apopular spot withmothers, grand-

mothers, and their fami-lies this past weekend,with the annual Mother’s

Day tea and plant saleon both Saturday andSunday.There was lovely weather

for the outdoor plant sale,which is a key event eachyear for the heritage site.Most of the single plants

for sale came from the farm’sown perennial garden, andall proceeds from the teaevents and plant sale gotowards farm upkeep.Head perennial gardener

Jane Rogers said that theevent has grown into some-thing much bigger than anafternoon tea and plant sale.“It’s not just the tea. There’s

a tea here for the moms onthis weekend, for children,families, and everyonemeets,” she said. “We havepeople that were volunteers

come back and say hello,and it’s become an annualevent for people from Rich-mond. But now, we’re get-ting people from all over. ”Rogers also said that

the event has become atradition that the garden-ing community has come tolook forward to every year,and encouraged peopleto come out and enjoy thegarden and the park.“I think we have lots of

gardeners here in Richmond,and all the gardening clubsand the heritage farm, ev-erybody gets together andwe’re all avid gardeners, soit’s great.”
