93 residents displaced after Richmond apartment fireby Rebekah HammondContributor

One man died, nine people were taken to the hospital and all the residents of a Rich-mond apartment block had to be evacu-ated after it caught fire in the early hours of last Saturday.

At about 1:45 a.m. Richmond Fire-Rescue was called to an apartment fire at 8540 Westminster Hwy. where fire and heavy smoke were visible.

All three buildings of the apartment block were evacuated and several residents had to be rescued from their balconies.

“Only one building was affected by the fire, but the others were filled with smoke and water and we wanted to assure their safety,” said deputy fire chief Tim Wilkin-son. “The final extinguishing took place around 6:30 a.m., so it took a good five hours to put out.”

Ten ambulances were also on site for medical assistance and attended to one man in critical condition.

“We were presented with one patient who had gone into cardiac arrest that our paramedics tried to resuscitate,” said Am-bulance Service Supt. Pascal Rodier. “He succumbed to his condition, though, and was pronounced dead at the scene.”

Information is not yet being released about the identity of the man and the cause of death is still under coroner in-vestigation.

Nine other people were admitted to the hospital for minor injuries.

“We had nine patients that were immedi-ately treated and transported to the hos-pital for minor burns, scrapes and smoke inhalation,” Rodier said.

Richmond’s Emergency Social Services used buses to evacuate the remaining ten-ants to local hotels to spend the night.

The cause of the fire is still not known and is under investigation.

Monday morning, scattered debris and empty windows revealed the blackened and damaged interior of the Richmond apartment block.

Yellow flagging was set up around the apartment block and security personnel were stationed on the perimeter to keep people within a safe distance of the build-ing.

After an investigation takes place to de-

termine the cause, fire department officials will have a better idea of when people can return to their homes.

“The building suffered very extensive dam-age,” City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend said. “We can certainly expect residents to be out for quite some time, if indeed the building is repairable.”

Meanwhile, Townsend is thankful several Richmond foundations and charities like the Salvation Army, SUCCESS and the Tzu Chi Foundation have played a large role in helping the residents of the burned-out apartments.

“We met with residents (of the apart-

ment) yesterday,” he said. “There were about 93 residents without a place to stay and we’ve linked them up with community charitable groups who will try and address personal needs and the replacement of personal items.”

The owner of the building owns other apartment complexes and has offered to rent suites to displaced residents at compa-rable prices, unfortunately, not all of them are located in Richmond, said Townsend.

Residents of the nearby apartment build-ings who were evacuated as a safety pre-caution were allowed to return home Sun-day.

Cob oven to be built at Sharing Farm this weekend

by Rebekah HammondContributor

Members of Rich-mond’s Fruit Tree Sharing Farm are

getting muddy this week-end building a traditional outdoor oven that the community will be able to use.

The group has invited the Mudgirls, a collective of women from the Gulf Islands who teach sustainable building techniques, to the Terra Nova Sharing Farm to hold a three-day community workshop on how to build a cob oven out of clay.

Members of the Sharing Farm are excited about the project.

“We’re thrilled to be building an oven in the farm’s healing garden which will add to the garden’s original concept as a gathering place for feasts and potlucks,” said Mary Gazetas of the Sharing Farm. “It’s a very artistic, very beautiful way to build.”

A cob oven is domed and made from a mixture of sand, straw and clay.

“It’s a very old way to build...very similar to adobe and it’s used all over the world,” said Kimi Hendess the project man-ager. “I took a workshop with the Mudgirls about five years ago and learned how build cob. It’s kind of a popular thing to do on farms and urban projects. You hear about it often if you go to community gardens.”

Both the Sharing Farm and Mudgirls like to keep costs low and supplies local. All of the materials—clay, sand, manure, straw, bricks—are from local sources.

When finished, the outdoor oven won’t be small; its diam-eter will be five feet and it will hold several loaves of bread at once. “Arms” that extend from the oven will provide functional counterspace for sinks and extra work space.

Wanting to get the community interested and involved, the oven-building event is work-shop-style and the Sharing Farm invites community members to register for one of the 12 avail-able spaces.

Anyone 18-years or older can attend the workshop.

“Building a cob oven is defi-nitely a hands-on, participatory event,” Hendess said. “We’ll take our shoes off and get dirty; you squish it with your toes,”

Friday will be spent laying the foundation, Saturday the cob

dome will be made and Sunday the entire oven will be plastered.

“People can expect to have a little bit of instructional tim, then throughout the day you’ll be learning while you work,” Hendess said.

Once finished, Chef Ian Lai from the Terra Nova Schoolyard Society, a non-profit community-based project that teaches youth about organic gardening and food appreciation, will be testing out the baking capabilities of the oven.

“That’s the exciting part,” said

Lai, who has never cooked with a cob oven before. “As a chef, you want to stretch yourself, extend yourself and learn all that you can.”

Cob ovens are heated by build-ing a fire inside. Once the fire burns down to coals, they’re removed and replaced with the items that need baking.

Lai is already researching tech-niques, talking to people with experience and looking up reci-pes to try.

A variety of foods can be cooked in the oven including piz-zas, naan, and flatbreads which cook first when it’s very hot, they’re followed by baguettes and breads which bake at cooler temperatures.

“You can also use the oven to cook stews and stuff that take longer times to cook,” Lai said.

The vision for the cob oven is that it’s accessible and used by the community for workshops, festivals, fundraisers, group and family events.

“You build a community around the hearth,” said Lai. “I’m hop-ing, it will bring people together from around the community.

•The workshop costs $20 a day, or $50 for the whole week-end. Only 12 spaces are open. Childcare is available upon request. To register, e-mail info@richmondfruittree.com or call 604.727.9728.

Police also receive complaint over derogatory sign

by Jessica TieszenContributor

For the second time in less than a month, racist graffi ti targeting peo-ple of Chinese origin has been found vandalizing a Richmond building.

The message was found in a parkade staircase of the Richmond Public Market and reported to Rich-mond RCMP Monday morning.

Police immediately took action, attending the site and initiating con-tact with management. Offi cers have not yet received a complaint from the property owner.

“Offi cers have knocked on the door of the management building numer-ous times and left messages, but have been unable to make contact,” Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said Wednesday. “We will try again today so that we can continue on with the investigation.”

Investigators suspect that the graf-fi ti was left on the walls sometime between Aug 6 and 9. The investi-gation is continuing and police are actively working towards identifying the people responsible.

In July, two teens were arrested in connection with racist messages found in the stairwell at the Empire Centre parkade. Those messages targeted Chinese people and the po-lice.

“It does appear that the graffi ti is the same style as the previous in-cident in that it is written in marker rather than spray paint,” Turley said. “The comments are also derogatory toward the Asian community.”

The previous suspects were charged with mischief.

“It is likely that if we determine who is responsible, that we could

possibly forward the same charges,” Turley said. “But it is still too early to say as we are at the preliminary stages of investigation.”

Police will look to surveillance cam-eras and all other sources of informa-tion, once contact has occurred with the property owners.

“This is not a refl ection of how peo-ple view the community, but rather it is an isolated incident,” Turley said. “This isn’t being tolerated and we are working to get to the bottom of whose responsible.”

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact Rich-mond RCMP at 604-278-1212.

Meanwhile, a complaint has been fi led with the RCMP hate crimes di-vision and B’Nai Brith, Jewish anti-defamation organization, over a bi-zarre sign that has been popping up around Richmond.

On Monday, a crude sign showing a photo of a Middle Eastern looking man with a blacked-out tooth and the words “Me Hot, Ju Not” appeared at the corner of Westminster Highway and No. 6 Road. It was taken down later that night, but another sign briefl y reappeared again around lunchtime by Lansdowne Centre, be-fore it too was taken down.

Rain dampens air quality advisory

An air quality advisory issued by Metro Vancouver Aug. 4 has been cancelled.

After three days, the caution was lifted Saturday when offi cials said cooler, rainier weather over the weekend had improved air quality conditions.

Smoke from forest fi res in B.C.’s In-terior, plus some coming across the Pacifi c from wildfi res in Russia, were blamed for the haze that hung over the Lower Mainland late last week.

Metro planners say fi re activity re-mains a worry and another advisory could be issued if conditions dete-riorate again.

First year in four that commercial fleet has been granted openings

by Jeff NagelBlack Press

Commercial fishermen will add to their catch of Fraser River sockeye salmon this week after fishery managers decided this summer’s run continues to look promising.

Seine boats will fish from Sun-day through Thursday in John-stone Strait and part of Juan de Fuca Strait.

The troll fleet was given the green light to fish Sunday un-til further notice in waters that include much of Georgia Strait, closer to Metro Vancouver.

Gillnetters are being promised a three-hour opening in the Fraser River Tuesday.

And sports anglers who have been allowed to fish sockeye

as far upriver as the Mission bridge can also fish above that point starting Monday.

Barry Rosenberger, the De-partment of Fisheries and Oceans area director for Interior B.C., said the intensified fishing comes in light of a further up-grade Friday in the estimate of the early summer sockeye run, from 950,000 fish to 1.6 mil-lion.

“They’re appearing healthy enough,” Rosenberger said. “So it creates more allowable catch.”

There’s no in-season estimate yet of either the summer run or the late summer run Fraser sockeye, the components of the run that are projected to yield the bulk of the fish this year.

Pre-season forecasts sug-gested that the overall return of sockeye to the Fraser this year could be as high as 11 million.

But conservationists have expressed caution, noting op-timistic outlooks in past years have proven wildly inaccurate.

The Cohen Commission inves-tigating the decline of Fraser River sockeye in the last couple of years resumes hearings this fall.

This is the first time in four years commercial salmon fish-ermen in Canada have been allowed to catch Fraser River

More fi shing okayed as sockeye run strengthens

Cohen Commission•Cohen Commission to hold

public forum in StevestonAn inquiry into the decline of

sockeye salmon in the Fraser River will hold a public forum in Steveston on Sept. 13, the Cohen Commission announced Wednesday.

Anyone wishing to present must apply through at cohen-commission.ca.

The commission suggests presentations to centre around five questions: What is your vision for the sustainability of Fraser sockeye; what is required to secure the future of Fraser sockeye; what are the major habitat issues for Fraser sockeye and how can these be mitigated; how can Fraser sockeye be effec-tively harvested; and how can citizens participate in the recov-ery of Fraser sockeye.

Bruce Cohen leads the com-mission, established last fall with the purpose of making recommendations to improve sustainability of sockeye fishing in the Fraser.

The Steveston forum will be held 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Steveston-London Secondary school. Forums are also planned for seven other communities along the Fraser River from mid-August through October.

A Richmond man has returned from a cross-country bicycle jour-ney to raise money for prostate cancer research.

Sam Wade completed the Pedalers for Prostate tour on Aug. 3 and flew home to Richmond on Friday night.

Wade, 20, dreamt up the idea after learning his grandfather had been diagnosed with prostate can-cer. Refusing to feel powerless, Wade with the help of three other riders dreamt up a way to bring awareness to prostate cancer: a 75-day long bike trip across the country to raise money.

The journey began on May 22 in Victoria, with a group of four riders; Wade, Brian Tong, Fred Tsai and Tevis Bateman.

Their 8,000-km trip consisted of a variety of terrains, involved obsta-cles such as the Rocky Mountains, swarms of black flies and devastat-ing winds—all which made eight hours of biking a day no easy feat.

Pedalers for Prostate has raised $11,500 and continues to seek more donations. All money raised will go directly to the Prostate Centre in Victoria, an organization that offers help to men and the families affect-ed by Prostate Cancer.

“The most rewarding part of my journey was when I finished the

journey in Cape Spear,” said Wade, referring to the eastern-most tip of Newfoundland. “I expected to celebrate on my own, but before I knew it a swarm of 15 people sur-rounded and congratulated me on my accomplishment.”

Statistics show that one in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, making it the most common cancer among men. However, men have a 95 per cent survival rate when the cancer is detected and treated at an early stage.

“If my grandfather would have

been checked early, he wouldn’t of had such a long journey to recovery. I want people to realize the impor-tance of prostate cancer testing and diagnosing it early.”

Wade continues to raise aware-ness and promote his cause throughout the Lower Mainland.

“My grandfather is officially can-cer free,” explains Wade. “I plan to continue raising money so that others too can fight off Prostate Cancer.”

An aboriginal man occupying a remote northern B.C. base normally used in the summer by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans is hindering efforts to accu-rately count part of this year’s Fraser River sockeye run.

“DFO has suspended stock assess-ment operations out of the middle river area for this summer,” said Barry Rosenberger, Fisheries and Oceans area director for the B.C. Interior.

The base in question is on the north side of Stuart Lake, about 200 kilome-tres northwest of Prince George.

The lake’s tributaries are the final spawning destination for part of the Fraser sockeye run and Fisheries and Oceans staff normally work out of the base to tally the number of spawning salmon that arrive.

“An individual has occupied that site,” Rosenberger said. “There’s some safety issues.”

The annual count of spawners is used to project how many sockeye may hatch and ultimately return to the river four years from now.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans won’t be able to count spawners for about 60 per cent of the Stuart-bound stocks, however stream counts will pro-ceed in the remaining 40 per cent.

“There will be more uncertainty around it,” Rosenberger acknowledged, but said the Department of Fisheries and Oceans relies much more on in-river stock assessments, rather than advance pro-jections, in deciding how much salmon can be caught.

He would not discuss the reason for the occupation, which is in Carrier-Sekani Tribal Council territory, except to say discussions are ongoing with local First Nations leaders and the RCMP.

“I hope it can be ironed out as as soon as possible,” Simon Fraser University fish biologist John Reynolds said. “It’s a shame to see a hole in their data set like that.”

Blackberry pickers warned about pesticides

As blackberry bushes begin to reveal their juicy, love-ly berries the Richmond Pesticide Awareness Coalition is advising Richmond residents to beware of where they pick your blackberries this summer.

Although the City of Richmond has a bylaw against the use of pesticides on city and privately-owned lands, commercial and Crown lands are exempt from this bylaw.

This means that the blackberries (considered an alien invasive species) that pickers may find on rail-way corridors or on abandoned commercial lands may have been treated with herbicides or pesticides, the coalition says. And although there is a signage requirement when pesticides are applied, they may not always be present or easy to spot, the Richmond Pesticide Awareness Coalition warns.

Why I don’t want more stuff for my birthday

By the time you read this, I will have entered

the fourth decade of my existence on this planet.

And while some may choose to party in Vegas or splurge on baubles, I’m cel-ebrating the day by digging a hole. A really big hole. And then I’ll be filling it with bricks. My back will prob-ably be sore for days but I can’t think of a more fitting way to mark the occasion.

If the average lifespan of someone living in Richmond is 80, it looks like I’m half-way through. Whereas the last few decades have

focused around collecting and amassing things—an education, a house, a car, a career, I’d like to think that I’m now “done.” I can hon-estly say I don’t want any more stuff. In fact, I’m hop-ing the next half of my life will be about giving things away.

My daughters keep ask-ing me what I’d like for my birthday. I want for nothing. We have a roof over our heads, food in the fridge, and plenty of clothes to wear. They stare at me blankly when I say I don’t need anything else. Even friends have remarked at how little I enjoy shopping anymore.

I think when you’re younger, buying things and surrounding yourself with material goods builds some sense of security, however false that might be. Although I can’t say that I’m into electronic gad-gets or new clothes, I do have a soft spot for books and antique kitchen tools. But, I’ve now decided that unless something leaves the house, i.e. I donate or gift an item, I can’t bring

anything else in.I’ve had the fortune of

being able to learn a thing or two about growing food over the past couple of decades. My first farm job was actually in Courtenay, on an organic berry farm. I still recall the farmwife shaking her head at my first attempt to plant her veg-etable garden. I planted the tomatoes about four inches apart, the same spacing they came in, in the sixpack. I hope I’ve learned a thing or two since then and I’m more than happy to pass that knowledge along. The saying is so true. The more you give, the more you receive.

Giving back to my com-

munity is another one of my goals for the decades ahead. I have benefited so much from growing up here and I see how much the community helps to raise my children. Public schools, local parks, festivals and events—all of these I often take for granted but they all help make Richmond so livable. Volunteering time & knowledge is just one way to say thanks.

So, as my birthday draws to a close on Thursday eve-ning, I’ll be digging a hole at the Sharing Farm in Terra Nova to help build the base for an outdoor cob oven where future generations (we hope) will bake bread and hold feasts. My hands will probably be rough, my fingernails full of dirt, and more than a couple of mosquitoes will be feast-ing on any exposed skin but there’s nowhere else I’d rather be. You know I’ll be smiling.

Never againWith long-standing publication bans

now lifted on evidence from the Robert William Pickton trial, the horror of his

crimes is once again front and centre.So are society’s shortcomings.In light of new details released in recent days, family

members of the missing women have renewed their calls for a public inquiry into the police handling of the case.

Vancouver Police, the RCMP and the City of Vancouver support the notion, which B.C.’s attorney general is con-sidering.

Last week, Vancouver Police issued an apology for not catching Pickton sooner.

But any shortcomings in this case go beyond what the cops did or did not do.

The women Pickton murdered were victimized long before they met their violent ends on a Port Coquitlam pig farm.

Most came from chaotic family backgrounds and were shuttled through numerous foster homes during child-hood.

Their needs for counselling and other professional inter-vention were ignored, and they easily fell prey to drug dealers and pimps.

Despite being highly visible—strolling the streets for “dates” to support their addictions or becoming frequent flyers at the local lock-up as their risky lifestyles repeat-edly roused trouble—the women were ignored.

When they went missing, nobody—save for their friends and loved ones—cared.

The Pickton saga shined a harsh light on the lives of the women of the Downtown Eastside, the desperation of their existence almost as disturbing as the details of their deaths.

While it’s too late for Pickton’s victims, the challenges for another generation of vulnerable women continue in the city’s core. Poverty, substance abuse and mental ill-ness still wreak havoc, while remedies such as affordable housing and adequate health care are lacking.

When it came to recognizing the plight of a vulnerable demographic, it took a serial killer to command our col-lective attention.

Let’s not lose the focus once the Pickton stories fade away.

lettersThe fi rst alkaline battery chargerEditor:

The GreenLine Alkaline Battery Charger is not the first battery charger for non-rechargeable batteries (Richmond Review, Aug. 7). I invented the first battery charger for non-rechargeable batteries. It was listed as one of the top scientific inventions of 1993 by Popular Science. It sold 800,000 units as the Buddy-L Supercharger. An improved version is currently offered as the Battery Xtender.

My company, JDP Innovations Inc., in Canada holds the international patent rights and design patents on this product and alkaline battery charging technology.

Editor:Last Friday I followed three young

golfers at Richmond Golf and Country Club during their final round of the Canadian Junior Golf Championship.

What a treat it was to see the skill and talent that Adam Svennson (B.C.), Wilson Bateman (Alberta) and Mitch Sutton (London, Ont.) have at such a young age.

It was an especially fun experience having played the course as a guest of a good friend just prior to the junior event. I could remember where we had hit shots as opposed to where these three young men delivered theirs. Just a bit of a difference to be sure.

The course was set up in a dif-ficult manner, they played from the back tees, the rough was allowed to grow (nasty stuff ) and yet they played great golf, enjoyed each other’s company, were courteous, carried their own bags and raked the bunkers for one another. They also acknowledged the polite applause from the gallery of 100 or so, when a

good shot was struck with “thanks.” They drank their water, ate their apples and energy bars and have adapted some of the mannerisms of the “pros” with the constant tugging of the golf shirt shoulder as part of their pre-shot routine. TV will do that, but that’s OK.

They were fun to watch and it gave me an appreciation of how much hard work and good luck it must take to reach the pro level at any sport. Perhaps none of the young men will make it to the PGA tour because there are thousands who can hit it further, straighter and putt better than they could (and then cope with the pres-sure of huge galleries and big tourna-ments and then the Majors).

But for four hours on a Friday after-noon on a lovely day thanks for allow-ing me to watch Svennson, Bateman and Sutton chase their dream around a lovely golf course. It was fun—we need more of that in our lives today.

Editor:We are young singles,

retired couples, new par-ents, dog walkers, jog-gers, teenagers, athletes, young families new to the neighbourhood, and many of us, like myself, residents of the South Arm community for more than 30 years.

What do we have in common? We are ada-mantly opposed to the proposed plan to build artificial turf fields and other so-called improve-ments in South Arm Park.

South Arm is a beauti-ful park, boisterous and alive when its fields are busy with sports and school teams and impromptu get-togethers,

serene and restful at other moments. It is a park much loved by those of us who live in the neighbourhood, those of us who see and feel its changing moods and seasons.

Why, in a time when this city, our province, and the world are striving to maintain green environ-ments and encourage the preservation of peace-ful places where people can unwind and enhance their health in natural surroundings, would this city propose to cover our beloved green space with something artificial and dead?

Marsha ThompsonRichmond

South Arm Park is a jewel of RichmondEditor:

I was appalled to read about the “urbanization” project of the South Arm Park. This project needs to be stopped immediately. South Arm Park is what makes Richmond what it is, a serene beauti-ful place. It is a jewel of Richmond.

I don’t live in the neighborhood directly adjoin-ing the park but I visit there all the time. It is such a beautiful and calming place, a medicine for the daily life. Believe it or not, it is one of the reasons I am living in Richmond. I cannot even imagine somebody would even consider such a project.

All of my friends were equally appalled to hear about this news. The issue is that most of us are unaware that such a horrible plan is being con-ceived in our own backyards. Most people are too busy to investigate every project being undertaken by the city. We just trust the city for its prudence.

I am very grateful to Eve Rollet de Darantes for taking up a petition against this project. This proj-ect needs to be stopped immediately. There are many other places in Richmond that can be con-sidered as an alternative for an athletic centre but please leave South Arm Park alone!

How will the oval stimulate the local economy?Editor:

Recently 800 spectators attended a highly adver-tised badminton competition at The Owe-Val. That is approximately half of 1 per cent of the popula-tion of Richmond.

Over 99 per cent of the residents weren’t at all interested.

The revenue wouldn’t even come close to paying the operating costs for this facility.

So Mayor Brodie, when do you expect The Owe-Val to start producing the “The Great Stimulus to the Richmond Economy” that you predicted?

Will it be in our lifetime?Robert M. Paul

I came away from the weekend farmers mar-

kets with a rain-bow of produce. Besides the cher-ries, peaches, and blueberries, I also picked up several jars of preserves,

including straw-berry jam.

Yes, I know, I should make my own, but I am all for support-ing those who do. Somehow, spread-ing the jam on toast for breakfast didn’t seem festive enough. I craved scones with jam and cream. So that’s what I did.

Then I made pike-lets, mini-pancakes that pair well with strawberry jam and whipped cream. I didn’t stop there. Next, a sponge cake, using Devonshire cream and strawberry jam between the lay-ers.

I then invited a friend over for tea.

Ah, the inspiration that comes with a jar of jam.

Scones6 3/4 cups self-rising

flour

1/2 cup sugar1 lb cold butter, cut in

pieces1 egg1 cup milk

Whisk flour and sugar together in large bowl. Using pastry cutter, 2 table knives, or your fingers, work butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Whisk egg and milk together. Add cup of milk mixture to flour mixture and gently mix together with fingers, just until soft dough forms, add-ing 1-2 tbsp more at a time if dough is too dry (reserve remaining milk). Transfer dough to floured surface. Pat dough to 1-inch thick-ness. Using a 3-inch round cooking cutter cut out scones. Gather dough scraps and repeat, putting scones on a lightly floured baking sheet about half-inch apart. Brush tops with remaining

milk mixture and bake at 400°F for 20-25 min-utes. Cool on wire rack.

Pikelets2 cups all purpose flour2 tsp baking powder1/2 cup caster super-

fine sugar2 eggs1 1/2 cups milk1/3 cup butter, melted

Place flour, baking powder, and sugar in bowl. Combine eggs, milk, and butter and add to flour mixture. Mix until smooth. Cook 1/4 cup of batter in lightly greased fry pan over medium heat until golden on both sides.

Sponge Cake3/4 lb plus 1 tbsp but-

ter3 cups plus 1 tbsp self-

rising cake flour1 1/2 cups sugar4 eggs1 1/2 cup Devonshire

cream

3/4 cup strawberry jamIcing sugar

Grease two 2-inch deep/8-inch round cake pans with 1/2 tbsp butter. Dust with 1/2 tbsp flour. Beat remaining but-ter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high for 5 min-utes. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Combine eggs and 6 tbsp water in another bowl. Add half the egg mixture and half the flour to butter mixture. Beat well for 1-2 minutes. Add remaining egg mixture and flour, beat for 5 minutes. Divide batter between pans. Bake at 360°F for 35-40 minutes. Invert cakes onto rack, remove pans and cool. Beat cream until stiff. Place 1 layer on plate, spread with 1/2 the jam and cream. Spread remaining jam on other layer and

place on top of first layer. Dust with icing sugar.

Local saxophonist hits the stage at Ottawa jazz fest

by Bhreandáin ClugstonEditor

A Richmond saxophonist was one of 17 young jazz musi-cians who got their spot in

the spotlight at last month’s TD Ottawa International Jazz Festival.

Earlier this year, tenor saxophonist Sandra-Mae Luykx sent off an applica-tion, a demo tape and some arrange-ments to the TD Jazz Youth Summit, which provides young musicians with workshops at the festival.

To her surprise, she was informed she was receiving an all-expenses trip to the Ottawa jazz fest.

“I have my old band teacher Jeremy Hepner to thank for that,” said Luykx, referring to the R.A. McMath teacher and local guitarist.

At the festival, Luykx and 16 other musicians from across Canada attended workshops, participated in jam ses-

sions, had all-access to the festival and performed a big band concert.

Luykx got to meet some jazz greats, including tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano, tenor saxophonist Joshua Redman and pianist Herbie Hancock.

She admits to being completely nervous while meeting Hancock, which prompted a chuckle from the legendary jazz pianist.

But if she had a case of the nerves while playing a jam session with some members of trumpeter Roy Hargrove’s big band, it didn’t show.

“He (Hargrove) watched me play and said I had a good sound,” said Luykx.

Luykx grew up in a family that loved listening to jazz, but she was the first to take up an instrument.

She thinks the first recording she every bought was an Astrud Gilberto tape, which started a growing interest in Brazillian music such as bossa nova.

After starting on piano, she began playing alto sax when she was 10.

“I picked the instrument that was the most jazz sounding instrument,” said Luykx, who later switched to tenor.

After graduating from McMath, Luykx earned a bachelors degree in Music in Jazz Studies from Capilano University and now teaches and performs, but not only on saxophone. Luykx is also the lead singer in a couple of Brazillian bands around town.

Have saxophone—will travel

Not only did Sandra-Mae Luykx get a free trip to Ottawa, she also got to hang out with Herbie Hancock, Joe Lovano and Roy Hargrove (clockwise from top).

The Musical Expressions Summer Concert Series continues at Britannia Heritage Shipyard on Aug. 20 with three artists taking to the stage.

Bob Kemmis, Bruce Coughlan and local singer-songwriter Cherelle Jar-dine will perform in the show.

Picturesque and fl at, Steveston has long been a favourite of cyclists—those out for a leisurely whirl as well as the more ambitious.

For years, competitive cyclists have lobbied for a race to be held in the quaint village but the idea has always fallen on deaf ears—until now.

Next Sunday, Aug. 15, the inaugural Steveston Sockeye Spin will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. And organizers—volunteers at the Steveston Com-munity Centre—hope it will signal the start of an annual event.

“A lot of riders feel it’s a cool place to race so we’re taking on that challenge,” says assis-tant race organizer Erich Harvey.

The starting list is still incomplete, but Harvey expects some of B.C.’s top riders will be among those to take up the challenge of the .90-ki-lometre criterium race.

The course winds its way through the busi-ness core of Steveston, from No. 1 Road west on Moncton Street, south on 3rd Avenue, east of Bayview Street and north on No. 1 Road.

“It’s an exciting, fast-paced sport and there’s often some drama,” says Harvey.

The drama of which Harvey speaks is sure to be heightened by the fact the Sockeye Spin will feature primes (pro-nounced preems), which are races within races where riders sprint for prizes on a designed lap or at a certain point.

Sometimes, as is com-mon in such races at the Tour de France, teams will work together to try and push a rider to the front, Harvey says.

As a provincially-sanctioned race, part of Cycling B.C.’s criterium series, many of the rid-ers in the Sockeye Spin will also be trying to add to their individual and team point totals this season.

Johanna Stewart, the volunteer chair of the Sockeye Spin, says there’s been talk of hold-

ing a bike race in Ste-veston for a long time. It was a couple of “bike people” that volunteered at the community centre that got things rolling.

“They threw the idea out and the Steveston Community Society supported it and be-gan building on it,” she says.

The society saw the many positives in host-ing such an event, in-cluding being a good way to attract people to Steveston, Stewart adds. As a result of the enthusiasm, support grew and the Sockeye Spin was able to move quickly from concept to reality.

Steveston Community Society president Jim Kojima said the Sockeye Spin was an event easy to support.

“There was interest and we want to bring more new events, such as this, to Steveston,” he says. “We were keen from the beginning.”

But not having hosted an event like this before, Kojima says there was a sharp learning curve.

“We learned a lot from organizing this,” he says.

Kojima is hopeful not only will the Sockeye Spin become an annual event, but also grow and expand. He even sug-gests it could become

STEVESTON SOCKEYE SPIN

Gord Goble photoIt can get pretty crowded when the pack makes its way through a criterium race, such as in this scene from the Tour de White Rock.

Basicsof acriterium race

The fi rst Steveston Sockeye Spin will be held Sunday, Aug. 15 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Following is a brief ex-planation of what a crite-rium bike race is.

•A criterium, also known as a crit, is held on a short course usually less than fi ve kilometres. The Sockeye Spin will be raced over a 0.90-kilo-metre course.

•Race length can be determined by the num-ber of laps or total time.

•Many races, such as the Sockeye Spin, fea-ture primes (pronounced preems) which are races within races in which rid-ers compete for various prizes. A bell is usually rung to inform the riders that whoever wins the next lap wins the prime.

•There will be four lev-els for participants in the Sockeye Spin—Category 1 (top riders) to Category 4 (novice).

•Success is determined by a mix of good techni-cal skills such as the abil-ity to corner smoothly and ride safely in a large group, but also an ability to sprint and accelerate hard out of corners. This requires great stamina, strategy and mechani-cal preparation.

Don’t stop believin’Islanders journey culminates in silver at western championships

by Jessica TieszenContributor

Location was the only impediment of this year’s B.C. Bantam Boys’ Fastball Championship, ultimately resulting in the Kitimat tour-nament’s cancellation when seven teams dropped out due to travel costs.

But the ensuing seven weeks of inactivity took its toll on the Richmond Mari-ners as the team prepared to host the Western Canadian championship last weekend at London Park.

“Our team suffered a huge set back from the cancelled provincials,” explains man-ager John Doyle. “We didn’t have the necessary competi-tion to prepare us for the re-mainder of the season.”

Last weekend, the Mari-ners entered the westerns as a newly-formed combined team of two house squads.

The lack of experience to-gether took an additional toll on their game as the Mari-ners competed against top rep teams from throughout Western Canada.

“The boys have been an extremely strong team for as long as they’ve been to-gether. We have medalled in provincial championships for fi ve years in a row,” explains Doyle. “We didn’t do as well as we hoped to in westerns, but we still had a very suc-cessful season.”

Four consecutive round-robin losses set the boys up for a tough draw in their fi nal games.

“The boys really came to-gether in the last few games of the season,” says Doyle, winning a tiebreaker to take the fi fth-place spot.

Richard Jung, a mem-ber of Team Canada’s Development Squad, was crowned the 2010 Canadian junior boys’ golf champion Friday at the Richmond Golf and Country Club.

Jung, 17, of Toronto fi red a fi nal-round one-under par 72 for a one-stroke victory. He held on strong to his lead throughout the week to fi nish with a four-day total of 283 (-5). He has participated in the last four Canadian Junior Boys’ Golf Champion-ships, but this was his fi rst win.

Richmond’s Curtis Chan, 14, fi nished 21st and Mason Pimentel was 13 over par.

“I was the youngest player in the whole fi eld, so it was a big learn-ing experience to go out there and compete against all the top play-ers from across Canada,” said Chan. “People didn’t think I would make the cut, but I came in there and proved them all dif-ferently.”

Chan said the condi-tions of the Richmond Golf and Country Club were diffi cult with a deep rough and fi rm greens. He added that he had to be patient and make adjustments.

Richmond Islanders 94B were the Cinderella story at the 2010 West-ern Canadian Bantam Girls’ Softball Champi-onship.

But in reality the host team winning a silver medal last weekend was a sign of faith. The Isles’ theme song, Don’t Stop Believin’, ironically by a group called Journey, epitomized their sea-son.

Last October they set seven goals and ac-complished every one, including second-place fi nishes at a tournament in Abbotsford and at the westerns.

“The great thing about this season is we stayed committed to our goals,” said head coach Sam Young. “We knew no matter what we did we could always improve.“

The defi ning moment may have come on the third day of the provin-cial tournament in Port Alberni.

After completing round-robin play undefeated (4-0) and winning their fi rst playoff game over the North Van-couver Stars, the Islanders suffered a surprising loss to South Surrey Thunder. The loss meant instead of going

directly into the medal round, the Islanders now needed to take the backdoor route through the loser bracket.

“I knew the girls were feel-ing down because they all knew the importance of that game,” Young said.

Meeting back at the motel the team and parents had a

tailgate party—a usual ac-tivity. But then later that night Young happened to look over and see the 13 girls stuffi ng themselves into a Lexus.

“The next thing you hear is the girls singing Don’t Stop Believin’ at the top of their voices,” he said. “It was three minutes of magic. The song

was perfect.”The next day the girls de-

cided it would be their theme song and they’d sing it before every game. They went on to play four games at provincials and reached the fi nal, eventu-ally losing to Abbotsford 4-2.

Young said the Islanders’ toughest game at westerns

was the fi rst.“The girls were so ner-

vous wanting to please the home fans and try-ing too hard,” he said. “We just got away from playing our game. (But) I think it was better for us to have to battle into the playoffs. It pulled the team together.

“These girls are a strange bunch in that they loved to practice,” said Young.

He noted three-hour practices every Sunday night, and additional workouts for the pitchers under the watchful eye and support of assistant coach Rob Scott, were routine despite the fact at least half the girls also played rep volleyball, soccer and competed in high-level cheering.

They also decided they needed to give back by mentoring a younger house team.

A 3-2 win over B.C.. Abbotsford in the semis was Richmond’s most complete game at the western tournament. The

Isles lost the fi nal 9-2 to Sas-katoon Lasers.

“It was just fun,” Young said.

His parting words to the team were, “Enjoy this mo-ment. Not a lot of players or coaches ever make it to west-erns and win a medal.”

Breanne Watson woke up Tuesday feeling like she needs a break.

No wonder. Since June, basketball has kept the Richmond hoop star busy. She’s either been helping to organize games or playing in them, and often both.

After winning the women’s elite division title at a 3-on-3 tournament in Los Angeles on the weekend, Watson and teammates Lindsey Wil-son and Amy Taylor rushed back here Monday to play in an exhibition game against the Texas Tech Lady Raiders at the Richmond Olympic Oval. They arrived just hours before the 6 p.m. tip-off, but still had enough energy to ensure their Northwest All-Stars’ team was competi-tive with their university opponents. The Lady Raiders won 71-65, but Watson, who played an instrumental role in helping to organize Mon-day’s game, felt the result could have easily, and perhaps should have been reversed.

“We missed too many free throws,” said Watson, who was impressed with how well the eight All-Star players meshed in their fi rst game together.

B.C. Midgets preparing for national baseball champs with weekend workoutsby Don FennellSports Editor

After three consecutive bronze medals, B.C. is hoping to fi nally win gold at the Canadian Midget AAA Select Baseball Championships.

The province’s 2010 team fi nalized its roster last weekend in Richmond, and will head to London, Ont. Aug. 17 armed with talent and determi-

nation.“I believe this year our strengths

are going to be team speed and hard work—every day and on every play,” says Team B.C. coach and chef de mission Serj Sangara. “We don’t have anyone that’s going to over power the big boys from Ontario and Quebec, so we’re going to have to collectively take it to them. That means remaining mentally tough in

spite of any adversity.”At last summer’s nationals, B.C.

lost 2-0 to eventual champion On-tario on a two-out walk off homer in the bottom of the seventh inning. That accounted for the only two run-ners to get past second base.

Among the 18 players selected to this year’s B.C. team are Richmond Chuckers Owen Ellis (fi rst base), Brady Fainstein (outfi eld), Damian

Goeres (right-handed pitcher) and Keenan Samson-Kapp (left-handed pitcher). Utility fi elder Andrew Kear-ney was named as an alternate.

One of the hurdles the squad will try to overcome is the loss of cov-eted Chucker shortstop Colby Rossi, who was earmarked as a starter as a early as last year’s Fall Ball Clas-sic in which many of this year’s prospects participated. Rossi was

devastated after an MRI showed he had fractured a kneecap during play earlier this season.

The squad plans to continue work-outs this weekend at Latrace Field—Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sangara is also hoping to line up games against B.C. junior men’s playoff champion Newton Nationals as well as the South Delta Padres.

Harold H. DemorestFebruary 27th, 1965 to July 26th, 2010

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will fl ow into you as sunshine fl ows into trees. The winds will blow their freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like fallingleaves. John Muir

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Harold Demorest – he suffered an accidental fall while hiking through the local mountains in Chilliwack - he was 45 years of age.

Harold will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved him. He was predeceased by his father Harvey and his brother Pierre. He is survived by his mother Marielle (Ray), sister Louise (Shaun), brother Robert (Marycruz) niece Romina, and brother George (Sandra) and nephew Matteo, as well as many uncles, aunts and cousins. Harold was a loving and protective son, brother, and uncle. Family came fi rst for Harold – and he had longed to have his own children someday…

Harold was born and raised in Richmond BC. He graduated from UBC with degrees in honours chemistry and agricultural economics. Known as Mr. Gadget, Harold would always collect the latest widgets and tinker with technology. Harold worked with technology in his profession as a sleep lab technician at the Abbotsford Regional hospital where he was known for his diligence and dependability and was highly valued by his team members.

Harold was keenly observant of his surroundings and sensitive to the people in his life. Perhaps this is what fuelled Harold’s delightful sense of humour. Harold was an avid sportsman and enjoyed playing basketball, riding his mountain bike and trekking through the forest. A lover of music, a reader of WWII history, a follower of world affairs and conservative politics, and an astronomy buff, Harold was an interesting, kind, gentle and joyful soul – a shining star that will forever live in our hearts.

The family would like to thank the Abbotsford Police Department for their kind assistance, especially Detectives Demers and Dupuis. Special thanks to Chilliwack Search and Rescue and to the Chilliwack RCMP.

Funeral service to be held at Broadmoor Baptist Church 8140 Saunders Rd. Richmond BC on Saturday, August 14th at 11:00 am. Light refreshments.

In lieu of fl owers the family requests donations to be made to Chilliwack Search and Rescue c/o Chilliwack City Hall 8550 Young Rd. Chilliwack, BC V2P 8A4. (BC Search and Rescue Association, bcsara.com).

Richmond City Baseball Mosquito “A” Chuckers came within an out of playing for the provincial championship in North Delta on the B.C. Day long weekend.

The team of nine-and 10-year-old boys was formed in late June, practising and playing almost daily through July. The team qualifi ed for the provincial tournament by winning fi ve of six games in their zone playdowns.

At the provincials, the Chuckers allowed just fi ve

runs in their fi rst three games before losing their fourth to the eventual tournament win-ners Abbotsford. Qualifying for semifi nal play with a 3-1 record, the Chuckers played a tough Cloverdale team in a see-saw battle. Richmond took an early lead but ended up down by two runs going into the sixth inning. They scored three runs to take the lead, but surrendered a run in the bottom half that forced extra innings. In an exciting seventh inning, the Chuck-

ers again scored three in the top of the frame but couldn’t hang on and Cloverdale won on an infi eld ground ball.

The Chuckers are Clark Johnson, Gavin Lunny, Will Thiessen, Mitchell Pughe, James Linden, Nick Brammer, Cameron Bourke, Riley Wong, Spencer Stone, Ethan Wong, Josh Louie and Mason Wong. The coaches are Scott Lunny, Gerald Linden, Belden Wong and Ted Lunny.
