CITIZENSHIP
What it takes to become CanadianMom required attitude adjustment before she could commit
Pooja Ruprell had nodesire to become aCanadian citizen.
She still longed for hernative India, for the safetyof her comfort zone of closefamily and friends.
After all, coming to thiscountry in 2006 and eventu-ally becoming a Canadiancitizen was the dream of herhusband, Jag.
Even a year into her newlife living in Vancouver withtheir young kids, son, Aman,and daughter, Rayna, Poojahad not settled.
But in a dawn of realiza-tion, soon after the fam-ily moved to Richmond in2007, Pooja decided enoughwas enough.
“I hadn’t made too manyfriends here and I missedmy friends and family backhome so much,” said Pooja,who now lives near No. 4and Blundell roads.
“I admit I felt lost andalone. But I just woke upone day and decided to stopreferring to India as ‘backhome.’
“We had also movedhome three times in the firstyear and kept moving jobs;that had to stop.
“I finally decided to getthe job I wanted, rather thanjust take something that waseasy. That was the start.”
Pooja has now had a“great full-time job” for thelast three years as a senioraccount manager for a com-mercial cleaning service.
And only this year,almost four years since shelanded in Vancouver, doesshe feel she is ready to take
the plunge into becominga fully-fledged Canadiancitizen.
“It was my husband’sdream to move to Canada,although we both wantedto give our kids the kindof opportunities that onlyCanada can offer,” she said,explaining her reasons toapply for citizenship.
“But I eventually fell inlove with Canada and myfamily had already fell inlove with the country.
“I was the odd one out,
but I could see how happythey were and I knew howmuch my husband wanted tobecome a Canadian citizen.
“I think I started toappreciate more all thebenefits of living here andthe openness of the city andhow multicultural it is.
“A part of me feels I’mready to commit to Canadaand this land. I want to feelas much like a Canadian aspossible and I want to beable to take part in choosingmy own government.”
Once the Ruprells hadpassed the magic threeyears required before landedimmigrants can apply forcitizenship, they set aboutwading through mounds ofpaperwork to set the citizen-ship ball rolling.
Eight months later, allthat now lies between theRuprells and Canadian citi-zenship is a multiple choicetest of knowledge — notthat Pooja is losing toomuch sleep over it.
“Last month, we received
a book from the governmentfor us to study for the test.But we haven’t received atest date yet,” Pooja said.
“I haven’t even looked atthe book to be honest. I’mgoing to wait until we havea test date and then study atthe last minute. However,my husband has been study-ing on and off for the lastmonth. The only (question)I know about is ‘what is thenational animal of Canada?’I think I’ll just wing the test.
“I’m not worried. MaybeI should be? But I do havesome general awareness ofthe country’s history so Ithink I’ll be OK.”
Pooja also has no diffi-culty swearing allegiance tothe Queen, something that’sstill required to become aCanadian.
“(Swearing allegiance) isnot a problem for me,” shesaid.
“I hadn’t thought about itand, to be honest, I’m veryopen to the process and I’mnot going to make a big dealabout that part.
“That’s the rules of want-ing to become a citizen andI respect that because I wantto be part of this country.”
The last three years ofPooja’s new life in Canadahave been so positive, infact, she’s decided to write abook about it, which couldbe a valuable resource forfellow newbies off the boator plane.
“I felt it was time to givesomething back as I’m nowat a place where I’ve grownto appreciate everything that

John Furlong was24 when he arrived inEdmonton from Ireland. Animmigration official toldthe young immigrant fromTipperary: “Welcome toCanada. Make us better.”
Few would say he failedto rise to the challenge.As the head of VancouverOrganization Committee,Furlong — who lived inRichmond for 20 years andstill owns a house here —led the team of 25,000 vol-unteers who made the 2010Winter Games the successthat it was. He now headsup the Own the Podiumprogram.
Now living in Vancouver,and still very busy, Furlong
spared a few minutes totalk to the Richmond Newsabout what it means to beCanadian.
You were challengedwhen you got here to makeCanada better. So how canwe make Canada better?
Canada is so big and hassuch challenging geogra-phy, that the country can’tpossibly succeed if peopledon’t pitch in. I think for thecountry to work we all haveto have that spirit of pitch-ing in and helping out, andvolunteering our time andbeing community-minded.
I think, by and large,Canadians have this in theirDNA. I think what youhave to do is balance yourprofessional life with acommitment to the commu-nity. This project we’ve justcompleted (the 2010 WinterGames) is a living exampleof that spirit at its best.
Canadians tend not tobe jingoistic. But duringthe Winter Games, we sawa wave of Canadian patri-otism like never before.
What happened?I think we stood up and
found a way to communi-cate, through the Games.We found out you can beoptimistic and strident, andbe a champion and be hum-ble at the same time. Wedidn’t achieve our successat anyone else’s expense.I think a new kind ofpatriotism broke out. Peoplewanted to say they werefrom here. This gave us achance to better describewho we are and not spendour time trying to describethe things we’re not.
We had something thathappened here that peoplewill talk about for genera-tions. This is a wonderfulreference point for so manythings in the future.
How do we keep thatfire stoked?
My son (John) made aninteresting comment afterthe Games. He said, “I grewup at a time when we feltthat we were living next to agiant. They were bigger thanus, they had more moneythan we did, they made all
the movies, they were bet-ter in sports.” We were sortof in their tail-wind, andthat was OK. But the nextgeneration is not going toknow these feelings. Thenext generation will go outthere and compete and feelthey have the right to, andthey have a chance to be
successful, and I think that’strue, not just in sports, butin life and in business andeverything we do. It showedwe are a confident, stri-dent capable country, andI think our reputation waslifted by the Games. I thinkas Canadians look in therearview mirror, the view is
pretty great.
Many felt the Gameswere so successful, it hasbeen suggested you couldhave virtually any job youwant, including mayor ofVancouver. Why did youpick Own the Podium job?

It’s not a job — it’s a volunteer role.I don’t have a job. I’m still at Vanoc,for now. I’m working on my own book,I’m doing a fair amount of speaking,and wrapping up the affairs of Vanoc. Ialso want to get a rest. It’s an extremelyexhausting project.
You lived in Richmond for a coupleof decades so you know how multicul-tural we are. Canadians who have beenhere for generations may fear that wemay lose our Canadian identity, some ofour values, due to immigration. Do youshare those fears?
No. The people of the world live inCanada. This is what makes Canada fan-tastic. I think it has enriched the countrydramatically. In many countries, what weembrace very easily is a source of greatconflict. We are, in many ways, the mirrorimage of a society that works.
Are there higher expectations forimmigrants to “make Canada better”than Canadians who were born here?
I think it’s not lost on a person comingto a new country that when you get off theplane you’ve got to pitch in and work hardand make an effort.
What failings, if any, do you see inthis country? If there is anything youcould change, what would that be?
I think there’s always a tendency in aplace where life is so good — where we
are so better off and so fortunate — tonitpick at the few things that aren’t as fan-tastic as we would like.
I just think we should be grateful forhow great it is and thankful that we haveso much going for us. And we shouldwork hard and look after people who can’tlook after themselves, but we should lookfor ways to unite and agree and be a shin-ing example to the world.
What are our strengths?We are a very respectful society. We are
a very moderate society. We have demon-strated to the world that people of greatdifferences can come here and be one.That’s powerful.
How do you plan to spend yourCanada Day?
Canada Day is a big deal for us,because it was July 2 that we were award-ed the Games, so to me it’s a couple ofdays of extended celebration because itwas the week, seven years ago, that we gotthe Games.
I’m just looking forward to be outsideand enjoying it. It will be fun to just wan-der around and soak it all up.
Last year I was very fortunate to bein Ottawa on Canada Day and I wasastounded. There were 40,000 people onParliament Hill, and most of them hadcome from somewhere else, and it reallyshowed this extraordinary loyalty anddesire Canadians have to connect with thecountry.

Citizenship Test: Answers Pooja Ruprell: ‘Don’tcompromise your dreams’
life has to offer here and I want to share that with people,”said Pooja, whose 130-page book is called Journey inFaith, referring also to her Buddhism.
“We can complain as much as we want about our past,whether it’s our jobs or our lack of friends. But at the endof the day, it’s not about the place, it’s about you as theperson.”
And she has some advice for new immigrants toCanada. “I have a whole chapter on the stresses of movinghere and the difficulties over qualification recognition andthe colder weather,” she said. “But the one thing I wouldadvise new immigrants to do is surround yourself withpeople who’ve had a positive experience setting up a newlife in Canada, not the ones who still complain about howlong it took them to succeed.
“Don’t compromise your dream, that’s why I came here,to follow a dream and that’s why many people come here.But they end up taking the easy path and fall into the samecomfort zones they had in their home country … that’sdangerous.”
As for the citizenship test date itself, Pooja calmly said,“Ah, I expect to get a date soon. I’m looking forward to itactually.”

EDITORIAL OPINION
In preparation for Canada Day, we decided to look at the testgiven to immigrants wanting to become Canadian citizens.It’s an illuminating exercise, and we highly recommend all
Canadians who were born here take it — just for fun. You mightbe surprised by how much you know about Canada, and howmuch you don’t.
One of our reporters had a flashback while taking the test.Suddenly, he was back in Grade 7 social studies class, hav-ing an anxiety attack over the question: “Who was the firstelected leader of a responsible government in 1849? a) John A.MacDonald? b) Robert Baldwin? c) Louis Riel d) Sir Louis-Hippolyte La Fontaine.”
Yeah, we didn’t get that one either. And we’re not going totell you the right answer, either. We urge you to take the testyourself and then let us know how you did. The sample test wetook is available online from the Richmond Public Library athttp://www.yourlibrary.ca/citizenship.
Becoming a Canadian citizen takes a lot of commitment.Let’s face it, Canadian history is kind of dull, compared tosome countries, and the citizenship test reads more like aCanadian history exam than anything. Knowing a country’s his-tory is, of course, an important part of citizenship. But there areother certain quintessential qualities that make us Canadian thatno test can teach.
For example, it’s important to know Canadians believein universal access to things like health care and education.(Ahem, certain governments.) Our heroes are people likeTommy Douglas, who fought for universal health care, andTerry Fox, who inspired a nation with his epic Marathon ofHope and Richmond’s own Rick Hansen.
We may be flattering ourselves, as clearly Canada has itsshare of strife and discord, but we like to think of ourselves aspeople who believe in getting along, respecting each other’svalues, being polite, tolerant and helping out. And when ourathletes hit the ice or snow during an Olympic event? We kickass. Happy Canada Day.
Seeds of change lie in protest

The G-8 and G-20meetings may have comeand gone, but the imageslinger and seeds of changemay have been planted.
The protestors are theangry, the righteouslyindignant, screaming forredress and looking for amegaphone.
They came from theleft, not from a greatmonolith, but from a thou-sand fractured factionsand viewpoints, each oneonly slightly more opposedto the government thanthey are to one another.They came from the right,from that part of the rightthat does not instinctivelyworship the trappings ofpower. They came fromthat place that cannot bemapped by political labels,but is found where realgrievance has worn a deepgroove in a human soul.
They came cloaked inrespectability, the churchleaders, union presidents,elected opposition politi-cians.
They came hopingto scale the ramparts ofpower and install them-selves there. For fromwithin, surely they andthey alone can properlyguide events?
They came because ofthe despoiling of the natu-ral world, because of thejunk we pile up in lieu ofmeaningful lives.
They came becausethey see a better worldnot too far off. They camebecause it’s something todo with their friends.
They came because of a
passionate belief in peaceand non-violent resistance;they came because theywant to break things andthrow rocks at cops andwatch the world burn.
They came andmarched and sang andlinked arms, and a hand-ful attempted to scale thefences or storm a buildingsin the name of freedom.
Across from them werethe police, who lose theirfaces to plexiglass masksand suits of black armour.
From the point of viewof the organizers on bothsides of the fences, it isessential that the police arefaceless. If the protestorscould see their faces, theremight be more hesitationto throw a rock or a bottleof gasoline topped with aburning rag.
But masks work bothways. A person walks intoa police station and putson a concealing visor,black gauntlets, and feelsthe weight of armour settleon his shoulders. He getsinto a line with a hundredother faceless robots anddrums on his shield with abaton, the rhythm of a con-quering legion. How mucheasier is it to swing a stickfrom behind that armoured,impersonal shell?
How hard is it to
see real people behindscreamed slogans, to hearreal voices over the trun-cheon’s beat?
Both sides of the lineshave more in commonwith one another than theydo with the people sittingin boardrooms and makingthe decisions.
Some of those peopleare elected, many are not.They will speak in quietvoices, in soundproofedrooms where the shoutspenetrate only through theselected clips screened bythe news channels.
When those people con-sider the protests outside,most will see it only asspectacle, because humanmemory is short. Perhapsa few from Germany orRussia will recall how awall intended to last an agefell within months.
Only those who remem-ber their history will per-haps feel a twinge. Perhapsthey will think of 1789, or1848, or 1917. They willhear the ghostly chants andshouts echoing down thelong years to Toronto.
The protests this sum-mer will likely be littlemore than a footnote inhistory. But only stupidleaders don’t feel at leasta twinge when they see amob on the streets. In thatmob, dormant, are seedsof a hundred new worlds.Most will never take root,but some day, one of themwill change the world.

PAINFUL TRUTH
MatthewClaxton
Open letter to Premier Gordon CampbellAs a member of the board of directors of a small non-
profit organization in Richmond, imagine our dismay whenour rental management company asked that we re-issue post-dated cheques to cover the increase HST has created in ourcommercial lease agreement. The HST has increased our rentby $100 a month.
Our organization provides necessary outreach and supportprograms to people with HIV/AIDS as well as educationalworkshops to Richmond high school students regarding thisdisease and its prevention.
As with most non-profits, we struggle to maintain thefunding to cover our costs.
We pride ourselves on being frugal and operating withinour budget.
Imagine how our donors will feel upon hearing that weneed even more donations to cover this increase in operatingcosts.
At the very least, the government should offer a rebate toor make non-profit organizations exempt from the tax.
I implore you to address this issue, and await your reply.Joanna Wardley, Director

The game results sawproud Englishman IainMackelworth forced to dona lederhosen and do a littlejig, waving the German flagin the middle of the No. 1Road and Moncton Streetintersection.
It all began a coupleof weeks back whenMackelworth, owner of theSteveston Barbers, laid a
bet with his Iranian-bornGerman rival DavoodKhatami, who owns theBean and Beyond Café,around the corner, aboutwho would win the worldcup game.
The loser would have towear the other team’s garbin public.
Had England won,Khatami would havebeen forced to sport alittle Speedo and trot downMoncton Street waving
England’s flag.Khatami and
Mackelworth kicked theday off in style, with oppos-ing breakfasts from eithercountry (Bratwurst sausage,eggs and hash browns) inBean and Beyond at 6 a.m.By 6:30 the café was almostfull with eager soccer fansready to not only watch thegame, but ‘bare’ witness tothe public humiliation ofone shop owner or another.

If you caught the memo-rabilia bug during the 2010Winter Olympics, there’sone more collector’s itemyou might want to get yourhands on.
Hitting the book standsnow, just in time for CanadaDay, is With GlowingHearts — a commemora-tive compendium of theWinter Games.
“It’s a full account ofall the events and happen-ing of the Games,” saysJohn Furlong, CEO of theVancouver OrganizingCommittee. “It’s everything.If it happened, it’s in there.
“It really is a celebrationof the Canadian spirit soI think it’s just exactly theright time.”
The 400-page bookweighs 6.4 pounds and con-tains 1,200 photos, many ofwhich have never been seenbefore. The book, whichretails for $85, includes acomplete list of all Olympicand Paralympic medalists.
“We just chose to puteverything in,” Furlongsaid. “We didn’t sit thereand try to edit our way toa cute finish. Everything isthere: The highs, the lows,the drama, the human side.
“If you weren’t here, youcould open the book up andbecome very acquaintedwith the story of the Gamesvery quickly.
And if you were here,you could open the bookand it will put smiles onyour face.
“I gave one to (RussianPrime Minister) Vladimir
Putin a couple of weeksago, when we had dinner,and I said ‘This is what youhave to beat.’”
The book lists everyoneinvolved in the Games— from the Vanoc team andOlympic athletes, down toevery last “Smurf ” (Vanocvolunteer) — all 25,000 ofthem.
“It’s a way of saying thatwe were a team — alwaysa team,” Furlong said. “Theblue jackets were the heroesof the Games, and they hadto be there. It would havebeen offensive not to putthem in.”
The book is retailing for$85 and is now available inmost major bookstores, andonline.
“I believe it’s already onthe best seller list,” Furlongsaid.

Carol Sopel clearly remembersthe day in 1946 when her Grade 1teacher at Lord Byng told her shehad been chosen to be an inauguralpageboy at the Steveston SalmonQueen pageant.
“I was excited and scared at thesame time to ride in the parade,because so many people were goingto watch me,” she said with a laugh,adding pageboys were always girlsduring the pageant. “I carried theproclamation of the queen, SophieKushma, and the other pageboycarried the crown.
“I remember wearing one greenstocking and a red stocking to gowith my brown tunic and cape.”
Today, 64 years later, Sopel hasbeen asked to take on another roleduring the 2010 Steveston SalmonFestival — that of honourary parademarshal.
“I’m quite touched and hon-oured to have been invited to be the
honourary marshal,” she said.She relishes the idea of once
again being part of the parade,one that has been for her animportant tradition since thetender age of five. Her parents,who both worked on the groundsduring the Canada Day festivitiesfor many years, encouraged theirdaughter and her siblings to getinvolved in the yearly StevestonSalmon Festival.
“In the early days of theSteveston Salmon Festival, theparade was one of the biggest andexciting events in the neighbour-hood … it was the only thinggoing on July 1st in Richmond,”said Sopel.
As a young mother, the feelingwas the same.
“I remember so well how excit-ed my children got when I tookthem to the parade,” she said. “Itwas, and still is, a family custom
to attend every year.”Sopel has lived in Steveston for
65 years and worked for much ofthat time in the local fishing indus-try.
The most noticeable changesshe has seen over six decades is thecrowds. “In the beginning of thefestival, you knew everyone at thefestival, not so today. But the fes-tival is still a great way to connectwith your neighbours and enjoy awonderful day.”
As the honourary marshal,Sopel said she will be driven in adecorated car during the parade,and following the parade, she willbe presented with her honourarymarshal’s ribbon.
“Then, I will go up on the mainstage with the other dignitaries toenjoy the official opening ceremo-nies, followed by a VIP lunch,”Sopel said.

What began as a sports day back in1944 has evolved into “Canada’s big-gest little birthday party.”
The inaugural Steveston SalmonFestival was really just a sports day,born out of a community desire tobuild a playground in Steveston Park. Ithas since grown to become one of thelargest nonprofit Canada Day celebra-tions in the country; attracting tens ofthousands of fair-goers, said JaniceFroese, the executive director of theAnnual Steveston Salmon Festival.
“Last year, we estimated that100,000 people from across the LowerMainland came to the festival, makingit the biggest crowd ever,” said Froese.
“I think its popularity stems from thefact it’s a free, family festival offeringa parade and day-long activities foreveryone.”
More than $40,000 was raised lastyear, and all the money went towardsfunding programs at the StevestonCommunity Centre.
“This year, funds will go towards anEducation Community Garden on theeast side of the centre,” Froese said.“The garden will be used for differentprograms for seniors and youth at areaschools.”
This year’s Salmon Festival theme is“Red goes Green”.
“We are encouraging people to ridetheir bikes, take transit or carpool sothat we can reduce our carbon foot

print,” said Froese, adding they have a free,secure bike parkade set up in the ball dia-mond, staffed by volunteers. “The City ofRichmond will have its green can compost-ing on display, and the Burns Bog Societywill showcase the importance of the bog.
The parade starts out at 10 a.m. with asmall procession through Steveston, featur-ing floats, marching bands, politicians, vin-tage vehicles and community groups.
“New in the parade this year is the YVRairplane fire truck, which I’m told is quiteunique and features a robotic hose.”
In another first, the City of Coquitlamwill feature its Teddy Bear themed float,sure to be a hit with the young ones, saidFroese.
However, the procession has been short-ened to 100 entries, as the committee real-
ized last year’s parade went on too long.One of the highlights of the event is
the ever-popular salmon barbecue. Foryears, the First Nations were in charge ofthe salmon bake — cooked the traditionalaboriginal way, over alder sticks.
“Chief Dan George came out years agoto man the salmon barbecue,’ said Froese.“We will have 1,200 pounds of sockeyesalmon.
“Last year, we sold 2,300 plates ofsalmon. We expect about the same numberthis year and the cost is $14 a plate andincludes fresh salmon, salad and a bun.”
Besides the parade, the festival featuresits children’s carnival, which will be hometo the Funtastic Inflatables, as well as otherfun activities for kids. However, there willbe no midway rides.

Sopel: Involved since 1945Sopel hopes her two children, and two
of her five grandchildren, are able to makeit to this year’s festivities.“Three of my great-grandchildren live upnorth and one lives on Vancouver Island, sothey won’t be able to make it,” she added.
Meanwhile, Sopel is nostalgic about theSteveston Salmon Festival, an event that
has been an important ritual in her life.Sopel was on the Steveston Community
Society board of directors for more than fortwo decades. Since 1945, Sopel has par-taken in all but six of the Steveston SalmonFestival. Sopel was also involved with thepageant for many years, and following that,worked in the hospitality suite with theSalmon Festival.

3720 Q I have been wearing dentures for many years and
they are to the point that my gums are extremely soreand red; what can I do?
ASoft tissue management is the answer you are seeking.Rehabilitation of soft tissues is primary. First, your dentures
require cleaning to remove offensive organisms that may becontributing to the inflammation and edema (swelling).

Dr. Brad Kehoe &Dr. Heather McLeod
ChiropracticEXPERTS QIs chiropractic treatment effective for a mid or
low back herniated disc?
A In most cases chiropractic remains the most effective intervention. In theinitial stage when the body is in extreme pain, light traction, pain control
and only minor adjustments can be tolerated by the patient. If the protrussion isintact, the goal is to reduce the bulge and cause a retraction thus diminishing thepressure on the spinal cord or nerve root.
If the disc has actually ruptured then the body will need to reabsorb this material,and this takes time. Typically, as long as there is no loss of control of the bladderor bowel or severe leg dysfunction, surgery is not recommended.
The objective is to keep the spine aligned so that pressure is applied evenlythroughout the disc thus reducing the possibility of further bulging or rupturing
Treating a patient who was diagnosed months ago but continues to havemoderate pain, tingling, numbness or loss of movement is still a good candidatefor care. Restoring proper segmental positioning is imperative as likely there isnow secondary facet complications and muscle guarding reactions occurring.Implementing the proper exercises at the right time in conjunction with thechiropractic adjustments will quicken and assist in a more complete recovery.

Q I've heard and seen a lot about identity theftand insurance lately, what does this type of
coverage cover and what are the costs?
AThis type of insurance is relatively new and a valuablecoverage to have with this type of crime happening to
thousands of Canadians a year; if the theft is relatively small it caneasily go unnoticed. As anyone who does notice and had theiridentity stolen or documents forged will attest the costs, time andstress involved in getting the criminal transactions reversed issignificant. Identity theft insurance pays for the costs of notarizingdocuments, time off work, telephone charges and other expensesrelated to the fraud. The cost for this coverage is often included inhome insurance policies and if not the cost is around the range of$40 a year. For businesses the cost is approximately $75 yearly.
Of course we would be happy to answer any questions there areabout this or any insurance matter.

QWhat is the difference between avariable and an adjustable rate
mortgage (ARM)?
AWhile both are tied to Canadian prime rate,only the adjustable rate mortgage will change
your payments with increases or decreases in prime.An increase in prime will see your monthly paymentincrease accordingly. Should prime decrease so willyour payment. The variable rate mortgage will keepyour payments at the same amount even as primechanges. Variable rate clients should be mindful ofprime increases as the principal portion of yourpayment will decrease which can lengthen youramortization.

regularly in the spring and summer whichoften leads to shin splints. Can TCM prevent thisfrom happening?
AShin splints are an overuse injury and inflammatorycondition that develops microtears in the site of origin
of the muscles from the bone. The pain actually occurs when arunner increases mileage, changes to a harder surface or addshill running, etc. Gradual introduction of each of youractivities will reduce the possibility of shin splints. Since amajor function of acupuncture is to facilitate the flow of Qi andblood, such a treatment can reduce the pain and hasten thehealing by increasing circulation into the area affected by themicrotears.

Expansion Roadrunners making progressB.C. Intermediate “A” Lacrosse League team intends to become a championship contender as soon as next season
Being awarded the pro-vincial championships intheir inaugural season wasa significant accomplish-ment for the RichmondRoadrunners. Expectingthem to actually participate
in them was simply toomuch to ask.
Barring a signifi-cant development, theRoadrunners will be on theoutside looking in when theprovince’s top Intermediate“A” lacrosse teams do battleat Minoru Arenas over theB.C. Day Long Weekend.
They enter this week’s playwith an 3-12 record andonly four of the league’snine teams advance to theshowcase tournament.
“It would take some kindof a miracle for us to bethere,” admitted Richmondhead coach Matt Miyashita.“We are making progress
and the boys are understand-ing the kind of commitmentit takes to compete.”
Miyashita is familiarwith success at this leveland beyond having beenpart of the successfulBurnaby Lakers organiza-tion in intermediate andjunior. The Richmondnative didn’t have anylocal options to play andwent down the same patha number of the city’s topbox players have followedincluding his older brotherMark.
Miyashita was selectedby Coquitlam in the 2010WLA draft but opted to takethe season off to rest upfor the field version of thesport and concentrate on hiscoaching duties.
The Roadrunners arecoming off their best weekof the season that includeda 10-9 home floor win over
seventh place Langley andlosing an 11-10 overtimeheartbreaker to the DeltaIslanders on Friday nightin Ladner. They will lookto continue their improveplay when the CoquitlamAdanacs visit Minorutonight at 8 p.m.
Despite falling wellbehind the league leaders,Miyashita continues to runa disciplined program witha heavy emphasis on con-ditioning. It’s been an eye-opening experience for theplayers, with the majorityof them in their first year atthe intermediate level.
“Our mindset is we willbe competing in the pro-vincials because that hasto be established,” he said.“The talent and potential isdefinitely there for us to bethere next season as long athey are willing to make thenecessary commitment.”
Boxla Bits...• Tyler Nett leads the
Roadrunners in scoringwith 50 points in 15 games,including 31 goals. IainVickers is also enjoying asolid campaign with 23 tal-lies.
• Richmond will alsobe hosting the ProvincialIntermediate “B”Championships the sameweekend at Minoru. TheRoadrunners currently owna 6-8 record in the SouthernConference.
• A busy July of cham-pionship lacrosse inRichmond will begin withthe Provincial BantamChampionships. Titles willbe up for grabs in four divi-sions — A1, A2, B and C.The hosts are looking fortheir third straight provin-cial title at the A2 level. Thetournament runs from July7-11.

PLAY HARDOR GOHOME
I grew up in North Vancouver and have been playing football since my earlyteens. My size kind of dictated what position I play (offensive line) but I’ve learned to
really love my role on the club and on the offence. As the centre I do get to touch the ballon every play, so it all starts with me.
Growing up, I was very close to my father and he was a big influence on me during times I needed himmost. Picking my college, dealing with adversity, being the best person and player I can be were a product
of his guidance and it’s one of the reasons I love taking part in our club’s community programs.Among the programs I take part in, I would say Read, Write and Roar is among my favourites becauseI’ve seen firsthand what happens to a young person’s life when they grasp the ability to read.The benefits of literacy last a lifetime and I take pride in knowing that I might be planting the seed for afuture reader.
