Secret to raising large family is providing structure and plenty of love
by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter
Every morning at 6 o’clock sharp, Julia Dee rolls out of bed, gathers her nine-month-old daughter Lucy for her feeding, and
takes a half an hour to gather herself in prayer for the wonders of the day to come.
“Otherwise, I can be a little grouchy,” she said with a smile as she sat at a large rectangular dining table Tues-day morning, beside her husband Stephen, their eight children and a steaming cup of coffee.
It’s breakfast time, and the kids—some dressed in school uniforms, others still in pajamas or diapers—are scooping rice, asking for more bacon, pouring milk from a jug, or chomping on a piece of chicken.
It’s a distinctly rich Filipino breakfast.Large families were once much more commonplace,
but the economic realities of the 21st century mean these days, a family with eight kids is relatively rare, and will often turn heads. But all Julia and Stephen see are blessings and the familiar.
Julia is from a family of 11 children, and Stephen has eight siblings, so both are accustomed to being around plenty of kids, whether sisters and brothers, or children of siblings and cousins.
Ranging in age from nine months to 13 years, the Rich-mond chapter of the Dee clan is continuing a sizable family tradition.
The gathering of 10 at breakfast is anything but cha-otic on this particular morning, as some children chat-ted as they ate, others played quietly by themselves, and still others were distracted by the presence of a photographer on this crisp overcast spring morning at their East Richmond home.
In Julia’s and Stephen’s families, mothers have always been strong fi gures, and that’s something that’s been carried over in Julia.
“I’ve always been a sports girl, and with that you’re al-ways disciplined,” said Julia, who recalls playing tennis with her dad each day before school. “But you can’t just expect them (children) to be disciplined. You have to be disciplined too.”
Even as she’s pulling one young child down from the top of a bench next to a window—“she’s the dramatic one”—another is all smiles, fi ddling with food as she’s perched in a high chair.

Mother’s Day always special for family of 1070 year old charged following altercationon flight
by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter
A 70-year-old North Vancouver woman has been charged after she allegedly grabbed a flight attendant around the neck during an Air Canada flight from Lon-don, England to Vancou-ver International Airport earlier this year.
Moira Evelyn Gentry made her first appear-ance in Richmond pro-vincial court this week in connection with the Jan. 4 incident.
Richmond RCMP Staff Sgt. Dave Conrod told The Richmond Review Thursday that Gentry was displaying occa-sional erratic behav-iour during the inbound flight to Vancouver.
When a flight attendant approached her, Gentry allegedly grabbed her around the neck, Con-rod said.
Gentry was later re-strained and kept in her seat, and was arrested after the plane landed at Vancouver Interna-tional Airport.
She volunteered to go to Richmond Hospital, and was held for further examination.
Gentry, who has been released, is scheduled to make her next Rich-mond provincial court appearance on June 5 at 10:30 a.m.

Martin van den Hemel photoThe fi ve-mile long Steveston jetty is temporarily the home to a migrating colony of California sea lions.
For the next few weeks, they’ll be sunning themselves off Garry Point
by Martin van den HemelStaff Reporter
For the next few weeks, a migrating colony of sea lions will be basking in the sun off Garry Point Park.
Steveston EcoTours’ Bruce Livingston took The Richmond Review for a boat trip to see the large animals barking as waves crashed into the rocky fi ve-mile-long jetty that extends
west of Lulu Island.The sea lions will head out for mating grounds
on the coast of Washington State in early June, Livingston said.
Since mid-March, interest in coastal tours has picked up for locals entertaining out-of-town visitors. A one-hour round trip to visit the jetty—plenty of time for amateur photographers to snap shots of the animals, who were joined by more than a dozen bald eagles on this particular
Thursday morning—costs $25 per person, for a minimum of four people. A two-hour trip is $40 per person, for a minimum of four people.
The range of the California sea lion extends from as far north as Alaska, and south, as far as Mexico.
For more about Steveston EcoTours, visit www.stevestonecotours.com or call 604-277-6205.
•See richmondreview.com for more photos of sea lions and eagles.

Eco-friendly BMW dealership gets a little greener with rooftop vegetable garden
by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter
Auto West BMW technicians got their hands dirty yesterday morning—but not with grease.
Staff helped plant a 680-square-foot vegetable gar-den on the roof of the Cambie Road auto dealership, pushing tomato, pepper, bean, onion and squash seedlings into a soil box the size of a bowling lane.
Once ready, the vegetables will be donated to the Richmond Food Bank—along with fruit from existing rooftop berry bushes and multi-variety apple trees.
The garden bed was previously fi lled with orna-mental plants. But the dealership believed it could do more to help local families in need.
“We just looked at it and thought this would be a better use of our upper garden,” said Pete Sargent, project development manager, surveying the food bank garden.
The garden will be tended by a staff committee. Another smaller garden bed is reserved for staff to grow their own food.
Growing vegetables is just the latest green project for Auto West. The dealership also maintains fi ve bee hives on the roof, along with other ornamental beds. Solar and wind power are harvested, water is recycled and geothermal heating and cooling is utilized.
Summer Night Market returns this weekend
by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter
Bring on the bamboo rice and butter chicken, the Summer Night Market makes its return to Richmond this weekend.
The Asian-themed market on Vulcan Way opens tonight (Friday) at 7 p.m. and continues each weekend until Sept. 16. The opening marks the fi fth year for the market on the site, located behind Home Depot.
Retail and food vendors—220 so far—will line the paved site, which will be accessible by Canada Line users via a free “door-to-door” shuttle service linked to Bridgeport Station, according to operator Paul Cheung of Lions Communications.
New attractions this year include a space shut-tle simulator, an enhanced children’s play zone, vehicle displays, motorcycle nights and fashion shows. Nightly entertainment, souvenir giveaways and prizes will also be on offer.
Street parking is available in the area, and pay parking is offered on-site. Admission to the mar-ket is free.
Another Asian-themed market, the Richmond Night Market, opens May 18 next to River Rock Casino Resort, and runs until Oct. 8.

Housing starts expected to climb
by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter
B.C.’s housing market is expected to move upwards this year and next, and the same should hold true for Richmond, according to a new report.
Housing starts are expected to climb slightly from 2011 levels in B.C. despite a slow-moving econo-my, according to a report from the
city’s fi nance department.“This forecast is also expected to
hold true for Richmond as evident by the number of demolitions, which has increased for the quarter by 8.1 per cent from the same quarter last year,” said accounting manager Nashater Sanghera, in her report.
The housing market is consid-ered key in determining the city’s economic outlook.
Median selling prices fell slight-ly in the first three months of 2012—dropping 1.8 per cent for detached homes, 0.9 per cent for townhouses and 2.8 per cent for apartments.
Nonetheless, fi rst-quarter fi nan-cial results for Richmond show the city is off to a “favourable start,” noted Sanghera.
The city issued 294 building per-mits in the fi rst quarter, down from the 335 issued in the same time last year. The value of permits also decreased, but city offi cials are ex-pecting this trend to reverse once development applications received last year are processed.
The city received 50 development applications—required for all new construction—in the fi rst quarter of 2012, a 42.9 per cent increase over the fi rst three months of 2011.
First-quarter ‘favourable’ for city

Published every Wednesday and Friday by Black Press Ltd.
I seem to have touched a nerve with my gender
reference concerning lawn maintenance.
I assumed that many would agree that women are much more in tune with the earth and wouldn’t allow
something so superfi cial to put the health of their families or the planet in jeopardy.
And then I was going to explain how there is an issue that makes women lose all sense of sanity. Women, who would normally purchase organic foods for their children, would never think of spraying a single pesticide around their gardens, will often throw caution to the wind when it comes to one issue: colour.
More specifi cally, the colour of their hair and the lack of colour in their laundry white loads. Let me explain. More than 45% of women in Canada dye their hair. Many younger women do so with semi-permanent colour that washes out after
a few weeks.There is, however, a large
percentage of women that use permanent dye, on a regular basis, to prevent grey hair from showing. It’s these permanent dyes, usually in the darker shades, that have been linked to higher rates of bladder cancer, leukemia, and Non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
And yet, when I mention this to friends and family who do colour their hair on a regular basis (every 5 weeks!), they would rather take that risk than be seen in public with grey hari. And don’t even try to talk about what all those dyes are doing to the environment as they wash down the drain. I call it the Achilles heel of the fairer sex.
On the fl ip side, it’s the lack of colour in laundry whites where you also see women throwing caution to the wind. When I see anyone reaching for jugs of chlorine bleach in the grocery store, I cringe. How is it, in an age when we know how toxic chlorine is to both humans and the environment, that we still use it?
My own mother-in-law (and I can talk about her in the paper because she no longer lives in Richmond) chlorine bleaches all the white t-shirts, towels, and socks on a regular basis. When I mention that hydrogen peroxide (now in most cleaning products with the word “Oxy”) is a much safer option, her eyes usually glaze over.
It’s as if the whiteness of the laundry refl ects the
moral integrity of the person doing the laundry. I realize that some men do laundry but I think society is more forgiving if there’s a man behind the less-than-pearly whites. Only bad mothers allow their kids to walk around in grungy t-shirts.
As you can guess, my own hair is greying and my kids have stains in their shirts. If I can’t get the stain out with peroxide, I’m sure as hell not throwing the shirt away. But I have a pretty thick skin when it comes to going against “social norms.”
So, as an olive branch to all of those men who feel slighted by my comments about their lawn maintenance, take heart. Women can be just as insane.
Equal opportunity in doling out criticism
Shades of GreenArzeena Hamir
Mothers will have their special day this Sunday, but if
there’s anybody who de-serves so much more, it’s moms.
For those fortunate enough to have loving mothers in their lives, imagine what life would be like without them.
Moms are the fi rst to respond when there’s a cry, suddenly consumed by worry for their little ones.
In the middle of the night, bed-room screams rouse her, and she’s the one whose soothing voice and warm embrace make everything better.
School fundraisers wouldn’t be the same without mothers, who
aside from dedicating countless hours to cooking and cleaning, volunteer for whatever sports organization their children are involved with, from soccer and hockey to baseball and basket-ball.
Would there even be bake sales without them?
Mothers seem to undergo a metamorphosis upon giving birth.
Suddenly, all focus turns to their little ones.
Somehow, they manage to sur-vive sleepless nights and worry-fi lled days.
And the love that they give spawns even more love, some-thing that’s passed on from generation to generation.
Here’s a toast to moms and all they do.

Editor: I would like to express concern over
the condition of Highway 91 between No. 6 Road and the Westminster High-way exit. I have driven this road practi-cally every day since 1992 when I moved into Hamilton. I have witnessed the cre-ation of the Westminister Highway over-pass. I remember then the government of the day would clean the highway and it was kept for the most part safe. Since the road cleaning job was contracted out to private business the road has become neglected, and I say this largely due to the fact that the centre median has been collecting debris.
This debris has damaged both my vehicles at the cost of $600 in the past year. Three comprehensive claims for damage due to projectiles.
I am very concerned as the arrival of
summer approaches. I am preparing my motorcycle for use during the summer months and the amount of debris in the centre median concerns me. I would not want to be struck by any of the debris that lies windswept against the concrete barrier.
As the weather changes and dries it out it will become loose and thus when large trucks drive in the fast lane they blow this debris into the air landing on anything caught in it path. In a vehicle you are protected by the body of the car, not so much on a motorbike.
My question is, does it take someone getting seriously if not fatally injured to have this road properly cleared of debris as periodically as they clean the grassy boulevard to the right of the roadway?

Editor:This letter is directed to all of
the wonderful Richmond Youth Sports Associations that this city is fortunate enough to have: Please leave my Mother’s Day alone.
Just once make it a sports-free day, please! I, like hundreds of mothers in Richmond, spend the better part of the year making sure that uniforms are clean, equipment is ready, water bot-tles are fi lled, snacks prepared, nutritious meals are made (often at ridiculous times and served on the run) and that my kids arrive at their practices and games on time, while I stay to encourage and support them—many moth-
ers also have full-time jobs and some even coach or manage the teams.
Despite two scheduled games on May 13, I thought I had it made this year with plans for a leisurely brunch made and served by my boys, only to fi nd my plans squashed by the dis-covery that team photos will be held on Mother’s Day (followed by a skills competition) requiring us to be on site at 9:45am. Not my ideal Mother’s Day.
Once a year I deserve (as do all mothers) to be treated like a queen for an entire day, enjoying my children, my husband and my own mother fully, not just for 45 minutes at 8 a.m. on the Sunday morning.
I implore you, please let the sports playing children of Richmond say their thanks to their mothers in a more fi tting manner.
So, Richmond youth sports as-sociations, I challenge you to do better next year. Let’s celebrate our mothers.
Mark your calendars! Sunday May 12, 2013—Mother’s Day. And while you’re at it, please block out Sunday, June 16, 2013 as well so we may fully celebrate the amazing fathers in our lives —who are often rushing home from a hard days work to coach our budding athletes.

Re: “Don’t live in fear of genetically modifi ed food,” Letters.
In the United States, GM foods fall under three jurisdictions. However, the green light on market ap-proval is left to the companies producing them. There are a lot of differing opinions but experts agree on one thing. The regulation process is fl awed.
According to WebMD, any scientist who backs that statement has to be on the payroll of a biotech company.

GERONIMO is one of 25 adoptable dogs waiting to shower you with affection at
the City of Richmond Animal Shelter
Geronimo is a gorgeous 2 year old American Bulldog.He would make an excellent family dog as he is great with children and loves to cuddle and play. He can be good with other dogs but does get fearful of them at times so a home where Geronimo would be the only pet would be ideal.

Editor:Re: “Don’t live in fear of genetically modifi ed food,”
Letters, Wednesday.When a respected columnist of The Richmond Re-
view and a former Richmond alderman write divergent opinions on a current serious topic, that gets my atten-tion. Arzeena Hamir’s April 27 column on genetically modifi ed food made me pause. Bob Simpson’s letter of May 9 made me put “genetically modifi ed food” on my watch list. This is what journalism should be about —raising our awareness enough to make us think and do more research.
I have some comments to make on both writings. The general population would be extremely foolish to depend on vested interests to look after our general health. Where money is to be made, sadly short-cuts appear to be the rule. Recent history is replete with industrial risk-taking and deceptions resulting in wide-spread death and damage to our environment. Examples are: UFFI, asbestos insulation, statin drugs, additives to formula milk, deep-sea drilling, cigarette smoking—to name a few.
Further, the public has to understand that today industry has added 80,000 chemicals to its products and only 200 are on the regulators’ watch lists. Is it small wonder that the gains in hygiene, medicine, and
better food are now more than offset by environmental hazards resulting in shorter life-spans?
Mr. Simpson is being very ingenuous to introduce Darwin into the debate. Darwin’s treatise is based on natural selection which occurs over the millennium. This can not be compared in any way to lab-controlled DNA modifi cations which result in hardened genetic modifi cations already tuned to gain an instant niche. Unless rigorously regulated and tested, dangerous DNA modifi cations will be upon us immediately with-out our species having the opportunity to adapt as our niche in nature is abruptly changed.
I get what Mr. Simpson is saying about not be-ing fearful; however, that does not equate to meek acquiescence of every change that is being thrust upon us with questionable motives and questionable outcomes. Like Mr. Simpson, I trust in science but to misquote King Edward Longshanks “the problem with science is that it is full of politicians and industrialists.”

Judges this year: the Beat 94.5 intern and former Idol host Andrew Sosa, XOXO Entertainment Corp. president Adam Hurstfi eld and up-and-coming pop star Andrew Allen.
Allen, a native of Vernon, is perhaps best known for his 2011 song “Loving You Tonight.” He’s also expected to perform at the Idol show.
This year’s competitors: Monica Teng (Palmer), Geraldine Figueroa (Steveston-London), Sonali da Silva (McNair), Dana Barlaan (Boyd), Jessica Joy (McRoberts), Lexys Bandayrel (MacNeill), Ronny Au (Burnett), Chris Clute (McMath), Sherilyn Fernando (Richmond) and Kris Aquino (Cambie).
RichCity Idol begins at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 29 on Gateway Theatre’s MainStage. General admission tickets, $12, available at the Gateway Box Offi ce (604-270-1812) and from contestants.

Whether you’re planning a
long distance road trip or just
taking a quick jaunt across the
border for groceries or gas,
make sure you include a review
of your auto insurance as part of
your trip planning.
Understand your coverage limits and deductibles.Refer to your insurance
documents or contact a
BCAA Insurance Specialist to
ensure you have
the following
coverages:
Payment to
repair or replace
your vehicle if it
is damaged from
collision with
another vehicle,
person, or an
object including
the ground or highway.
Covers loss
or damage to your vehicle by
any causes such as fire, theft,
vandalism, and falling or flying
objects. Comprehensive
insurance does not cover
loss or damage caused by
collision.
Know how much your
deductible is as this is the
portion you will need to pay if
you have a claim.
It’s important to ensure
you have adequate liability
protection. Basic Autoplan
includes $200,000 Third-Party
Liability coverage for accidents
causing personal injury or
property damage, but this is not
enough. Higher limits of Excess
Third-Party Liability are available
and BCAA recommends vehicle
owners purchase a minimum of
$3,000,000. You may wish to
increase the limit before you
leave.
Proof of insurance - keeping your documents with you.Having adequate car insurance
matters and you need to keep
your documents with you. When
crossing the border, you may
be asked to produce your car
registration and
show proof of
ownership. It’s
important to have
your documents
and the 24-hour
emergency claim
number for your
insurance company
should you be
involved in a crash.
Keeping safe.Insurance aside, your safety is
first priority. Ensure that your
travel route is planned with the
help of a good map or global
positioning device and drive
the posted speed limits. Know
the laws on cell phone usage as
they vary in different provinces
and states.
Being prepared with the right

LRB asked to declare teacher action an illegal strikeby Jeff NagelBlack Press
The province-wide edict of the B.C. Teachers Fed-eration barring teachers from participating in extracurricular school activities should be de-clared an illegal strike, according to application to the Labour Relations Board.
The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association aims to strike down the job action on the grounds it violates provincial law.
Education Minister George Abbott said the move reflects concern about the impacts on students and parents of the activities ban, which is forcing the cancellation of some sports events, club activities and class trips.
The BCTF voted to im-pose the ban on activi-ties April 20, in the wake of a three-day strike in March that ended with the government legislat-ing a six-month cooling off period, under which mediated talks are sup-posed to continue.
The BCPSEA applica-tion argues the BCTF has banned an overly broad range of duties that hap-pen outside instructional hours – including ones that are required and not just voluntary – ef-fectively taking away the individual choice of teachers.
Meanwhile, the teach-ers federation is also be-fore the LRB asking that it remove the government-appointed mediator Dr. Charles Jago from the dispute, on grounds he is biased.

Criminal Driving Case: Crown ask for Eight Years in Prison
In January 2012, a 42-year-old, who we will call by initials “Mr. BP”, was convicted of criminal negligence causing death, dangerous driving, and failing to remain at the scene (hit-and-run) in connection with the roadside death of 21-year-old Silas O’Brien. Mr. O’Brien had been en route with two friends to the Seattle airport when Mr. BP ran their pick-up truck into a ditch after 2 am on March 13, 2008.
Mr. O’Brien and his friends got out of their truck and were standing at the roadside when Mr. BP, having driven back, swerved at them, hit and killed Mr. O’Brien. The prosecution argued that Mr. BP “swerved at them to give them a good scare.” Mr. BP testifi ed he didn’t stop because he didn’t realize he had hit anyone. The judge found Mr. BP’s version of events as “inconsistent with common sense” and a “clumsy” attempt to explain his actions.
Mr. BP is facing a maximum sentence of life in prison for criminal negligence causing death with no parole for at least seven years. The Crown is asking for a prison sentence of eight years and a 15-year driving ban. Mr. BP’s lawyer has asked for three to four years with a three-year driving prohibition, but allowing driving for employment purposes. (BP is a heavy-duty mechanic). “Mr. BP is remorseful and deeply ashamed,” said his lawyer, noting his client wishes he had let the men pass by him that morning. “His failure to do so has haunted him and tormented him and will continue to do so for many years.”
The goals of sentencing are fourfold: to protect society, to discourage the offender, to deter others from similar behaviour, and to rehabilitate the
particular offender. In light of these purposes, BC Supreme Court Judge Terence Schultes, who has presided over Mr. BP’s sentencing hearing (ongoing at the time of writing) will consider that Mr. BP was convicted after a trial of a serious crime. He will also consider the circumstances of the offence
and of Mr. BP’s background, including whether or not he has a criminal record and, if so, the date of his last offence, the number of past offences and sentences for similar offences in the community.
Reportedly, Mr. BP, over the 25 years of his driving life, has 64 driving convictions. It is also reported that his latest driving infraction includes a speeding ticket for driving 45 km/h over the posted limit on the same road in Langley where his offence was committed two years to the day after it occurred. His lawyer explained that most of these convictions occurred when Mr. BP was younger—in his 20s and 30s—and that the speeding incident in 2010 occurred while BP was rushing home to fi nd out about a friend involved in a snowmobiling incident.
A few weeks ago, local media reported on ICBC statistics concerning BC’s top ten driving offenders. We learned that each has been convicted 37 to 44 times over the fi ve year period from 2006 to 2011. Mr. BP’s numbers average out at only 12.8 convictions per every fi ve year period of his driving life.
The Judge’s sentencing decision is expected on May 10, 2012.

Mother’s Day
Editor:Sequels are rarely
a good idea, so last year when I wrote a Mother’s Day let-ter to the editor for my mom, Maryann Pereira, I did not think I would be doing it again this year.
It was wonderful feeling to watch my mom open her gift on Mother’s Day, a framed newspaper clipping of her article.
At first she thought it was a joke…I guess that’s what I get for being a prankster all
my life! After a lot of, “No,
seriously mom…happy Hother’s Day, I wrote this for you,” Mama Pereira finally got the point.
My mom is one of the most important people in my life; she has influenced and instilled such great qualities over the years to my brother, sister and myself.
This year, although I would love to sur-prise my mom again and write something about her, my life has changed a bit. I am getting married!
Now, I am trying to make sure this letter does not come off in a “Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City” think-out loud-as-I-type-kind of tone. Plan and simple, my life is about to take a new and exciting turn, and now I will have two moms to celebrate this Mother’s Day.
The more moms’ the better, double the guidance, double the food take-home pack-ages, double the fun … that sounds like a Spearmint Gum com-mercial.
I still work at World Vision and love it, so this year in addition to writing another letter to the editor I de-cided that a great way to support Mayann Pereira and my “new mom, Vijay Patel” is to support an expectant mom living in poverty through the World Vi-sion Gift Catalogue. Or even sponsor a child in their name.
The way I see it, without my mom and my dreamy fiancée’s mom we would not being saying our “I Dos” later this sum-mer. So the least we can do is give the gift in our moms’ names to help two expecting mom’s have the same opportunity to be great mothers to their kid(s).
Maybe one day the two kids will meet and get married…okay, maybe that’s a “Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City” thought.
Happy Mother’s Day’s to all the Mary-ann Pereiras and Vijay Patels in the world. It does not matter how old we are, married or single, you’re not just our mom’s…you’re our whole world.

Mother’s Day
Martin van den Hemel photoJulia and Stephen Dee and their eight children at breakfast.
From Page 1Julia notes that her
eldest son, still clear-ing away the cobwebs while in his pajamas, prefers to prepare for the day more slowly and wait until later to get dressed.
To keep her everything running smoothly, she provides structure to
her family, and doesn’t let them watch televi-sion until the weekend.
And so the weekdays are devoted to doing homework, playing sports, or fi nishing their chores.
It’s 7:30 a.m. now, and what should be a raucous room—there are eight children in one modest room, after all—is surprisingly tranquil.
So what’s her secret?She and Stephen have
the same game plan.“I think, the more kids
you have, the bigger capacity that’s given to love. You just get more crazy about each one.”
And with each new ad-dition to the family, she sees the unique traits start to stand out.
When she fi rst started having kids, Julia said she read parenting books—“a few of them have really helped me to zone in on each individual kid and recognize what they need”—and took part in parenting groups, where mothers shared notes on what worked, and what didn’t.
“Now I organize a cou-ple of mom’s groups.”
This will be another special Mother’s Day weekend for Julia and Stephen. She’ll be having brunch with her parents, seven sisters, three brothers and their children. And then Stephen’s organizing a barbecue at their Richmond home for his parents and eight siblings.
“I’ve always been surrounded by big families.”
And they wouldn’t have it any other way.
Eight kids need a lot of structure

When you turn on your tap and clean, safe water comes out, do you ever wonder how it got there or what happens when it goes down the drain? Or why you should care?
“It is often said that the ability to provide clean drinking wa-ter and treat sewage is the greatest con-tribution to public health our world has seen,” says Daisy Foster, CEO of BC Water & Waste Asso-ciation. “Yet, in our part of the world, we take for granted that we can simply turn on the tap and clean water gushes out. We forget that we use that same treated water to hose down our driveways and water our lawns. We flush our toilets and away it goes along with whatever we put down there.”
She adds, “We make the effort to turn out lights to conserve energy, yet we don’t make the connection between energy and water use. Many of us are unaware of the energy that is used to treat and distribute water.”
During Drinking Water Week, May 13 – 19, 2012, BC Water & Waste Association
asks you to “Get to know your H2O.” Think about the impact of your everyday ac-tions and how a few simple changes really can make a difference.
Have you thought about how much water you can
save by limiting your shower time to five minutes, or by turning off the tap while brushing your teeth? How about by reducing lawn water-ing or raising the level of your lawn
mower blade to cut down on evaporation?
Did you know that what we put down our sink or toilet can have a serious impact on fish and the aquatic environment? Detergents, medications, and many other household products end up at wastewater treatment plants where special process-es are required to minimize the impact on the receiving waters. Fats, oils and grease that we put down our drains can often cause blockages in sewer lines resulting in costly repairs. During Drinking Water Week, take the time to find out about safer disposal
methods in your area. We invite you to get in-
volved and learn more about your water. Start by tak-ing the Community Water Challenge and pledge to be water wise. By incorporat-ing practical actions into our daily routines, we can make a difference.
Visit www.drinkingwater-week.org to find out about Drinking Water Week events in your area, and to down-load activities and education-al resources provided by BC Water & Waste Association.
We need to value our drinking water
Here in BC we often take our tap water for granted, but it is a finite resource that we should value and protect.
DRINKING WATER WEEK
Be Water Wise: Limit your shower time to 5 minutes
per day. Install a low-flow fixture or appliance.
Look for the WaterSense label on retail shelves across BC.
Return unused or expired medications to the pharmacy for proper disposal.
Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, shaving and doing dishes.
Dispose of household wastes such as cleaners, paints and grease responsibly, instead of putting them down your sink or toilet.
Did You Know? 26% of British Columbians have no idea
where the water that flows from their tap comes from.*
The average Canadian uses 329 litres of water per day. However, the average Cana-dian thinks they only use 132 litres per day.*
We use up to 50% more water in the summertime when people are watering their lawns and gardens.**

Free event among 60 featured in Vancouver Craft Beer Week
O’Hare’s GastroPub is hosting an ode to barley and hops to
mark Vancouver Craft Beer Week later this month.
The event begins at the Ste-veston pub Saturday, May 19 at
6 p.m. with Russell Brewing and North Coast Brewing taking over the taps.
Each brewery will be show-casing their special selections, including a special cask of Rus-sell Imperial/Double IPA made exclusively for the event. Russell brewmaster Jack Bensley will be on hand to tap the cask at 7 p.m.
Grant Bryan of O’Hare’s said his pub has been instrumental driving the craft beer agenda forward.
“Craft Beer is undoubtedly the beer of the future and it’s so cool to have so many awesome brew-eries right here in B.C.,” he said.
Tastings of various craft beers
will be featured at the free event. From Russell, there will be
Blood Alley Bitter, A Wee Angry Scotch Ale, IP’eh and Black Death Porter. Offerings from North Coast Beers include Acme California IPA, PranQster, Le Merle Saison and Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout.
Door prizes, gift certifi cates and other giveaways will be on tap, and the adjoining liquor store will also offer a selection of beers for tasting.
The event is one of 60 on tap for Vancouver Craft Beer Week, which runs May 18 to 26.
O’Hare’s is located at 5031 Steveston Hwy.

The Village - it’s yours to explore!The Village - it’s yours to explore!
by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter
They’re city dwellers steeped in the
classic sounds of bluegrass.
Highrise Lonesome’s fi ve-member crew will bring their sparkling vocals and harmonies to Steveston next week for the Steveston Folk Guild’s next concert.
Expect to hear classic-sounding originals and innovative covers that showcase the musi-cians’ three decades of bluegrass experience.
Leading the band is Sue Malcolm, a main-stay of the Vancouver folk and bluegrass scene since 1980. She’s a performer, instructor and organizer, as well as a founding member of the Pacifi c Bluegrass and Heritage Society.
She’s also dedicated to spreading the good bluegrass gospel, having developed the popular Slow Pitch Jam method of teaching bluegrass jamming. In recent years, Malcolm has presented this workshop at festivals in B.C., Alberta and Washington.
For Highrise Lone-some, she sings and plays guitar. The band formed three years ago from the now defunct Rhythm Roundup. Rich-mond’s Vic Smyth (vo-cals, mandolin, rhythm guitar), Don Fraser (vo-cals, mandolin, rhythm guitar), Stu MacDonald (vocals, upright bass) and Jay Buckwold (fi ve-string banjo) join Malcolm in the High-
rise Lonesome lineup. The Richmond Review reached Malcolm by phone Thursday.
How did the name Highrise Lonesome come about?
“The sound of bluegrass is usually described as a high, lonesome sound, which describes the high har-mony singing and the Appellation mountain music that it came from. A few years ago I wrote a song called ‘Highrise Lonesome,’ capital-izing on the spinoff of that phrase. The song was about alienation in the city, and because we live in the city and we play what is mostly viewed as rural-type music, we decided to adopt that as our band name.”
Describe the band’s music.
“It’s very similar to
early bluegrass roots music, but it’s mostly original. We write a lot of originals, but try to maintain that old-time bluegrass sound. So it’s very acoustic, it’s very heavy on the vocal harmonies.”
What’s the appetite for folk music today, and has that changed since you entered the scene?
“I think the attraction to me and to most of the people that I play with is the fact that it’s very real. It’s very pres-
ent, in the moment. In bluegrass, it’s really a lot about participation. Jamming is a huge part of the bluegrass world. I’ve made a lot of my living teaching people how to jam.
“I think that there’s a certain element of people who are kind of disillusioned with com-mercial music and they want something more real. Even in rural coun-try music the themes are all universal—they speak to everybody. Themes of home and love and striving for peace, family.”
You seem driven to spread the bluegrass gospel.
“I’m not a religious person at all, but if there’s something in my life that takes the place of that, it’s bluegrass music.
“I’m very passionate about.”
Best in bluegrass comes to Steveston

Richmond Midget AAA
Chuckers’ manager Raul Verde Rios feels pretty good about his ball club. And why not, after
they took seven of eight games in a pair of home-and-home series with Okanagan teams over
the past two weeks.“We have a good core
of players returning and when they need to step it
up they will,” he said.Richmond plays on
Vancouver Island this weekend.

In throwing a perfect game against the South Okanagan Tigers recently, Nawid Niyaz achieved what has only been done 21 times in the 132-year history of Major League Baseball.
But while the Richmond Chuckers’ pitcher is proud of the feat, he’s downplay-ing it.
"Without the team it’s not a perfect game,” he said. “The team really has to make some nice (defen-sive) plays out there.”
Niyaz’s perfect game in Penticton April 29 was called after five innings when the mercy rule was invoked with the Chuckers up 10-0.
“I would have liked it to be (a complete game) sev-en innings, but it still feels pretty good,” he said.

The Richmond Red Hot Selects have been one of the most dominant teams in girls’ soccer over the last several seasons. On Satur-day, in front of friends and family, they added to their lengthy list of accomplish-ments by winning their sec-ond straight Coastal Cup title with a 3-0 victory over Central City Pegasus in the under-18 A Cup fi nal. They won the under-16 title, also at home, last season.
“It means a lot,” said coach Clive Clarke. “They wanted to start the year well and win the league, Coastal Cup and provin-cials. And I believe they can achieve all three goals.”
Clarke has demanded a lot from his players, but be-lieves they are now better prepared for the next phase of their soccer careers—for some playing in the high-performance league and for others perhaps the col-lege level. The players have developed their individual skills while the focus has been on team play.
“I’ve always said the team
is not about one person,” Clarke said. “Everyone contributes equally and enhances what we do by their individual talents. I’ve been a demanding coach because I know the girls have a lot to give and when you set the bar high the athletes can reach higher. It’s not easy to repeat, and you just don’t show up on the fi eld and win, but we’ve
been focused all the way through. I’m so proud of them and the nice level of soccer they play. Even their opponents admire the soc-cer these girls can play.”
• Richmond United won four boys’ titles: under-14 A Cup (defeating Burnaby Selects 1-0), under-15 A Cup (4-0 over Central City Breakers), under-16 A Cup (2-1 over Coquitlam Metro
Ford Bayern) and under-18 A Cup (3-0 over Pegasus). Richmond Red Hot Selects blanked Pegasus 3-0 in the under-13 girls’ A Cup fi nal, while Central City Breakers edged Richmond Synergy 2-0 in the under-14 girls’ A Cup fi nal.

Bluetree Homes prides itself on being “your friendly neighbourhood builder,” and with their newest development, Bluetree Homes at Bishop Creek, they’re continuing to create a reputation for beautiful homes suitable for any homeowner.
“We don’t just build homes; we promise to build your trust, answer your questions and make buying your home relaxed and stress-free,” says Bluetree general manager of sales and marketing Yosh Kasahara. “We aim to deliver an exceptional home-buying experience, from start to finish, and provide the outstanding homeowner care that our company is so well-known for.”
Lead by ParkLane Homes’ Chief Operating Officer Ben Taddei, Bluetree is aiming to set the standard for great home-buying experiences. ParkLane
has over 30 years of experience in the home-building market, and was recently the recipient of eight 2012 Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Ovation Awards for excellence in new home design.
The 56 townhomes at Bishop Creek come in a variety of two- and three-bedroom floorplans, ranging from 1,528 to 1,709 square feet. Located just minutes from Guildford Town Centre, homeowners are able to live in a quiet family-friendly neighbourhood while still being close to everyday amenities.
Surrounded by parkland, the homes at Bishop Creek are full of the beautiful amenities that Bluetree is known for, including stone countertops complemented by a hand-set tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances and shaker-style wood cabinetry with brushed nickel hardware in the kitchen.
The nine-foot ceilings and laminate hardwood flooring on the main floor
lend an incredible sense of space and elegance to every home, while the bathrooms are made for relaxation. His-and-hers sinks, glass shower stalls and hand-set tile flooring all combine to make for what really is the perfect bathroom.
They also include some special features that are sure to impress, such as a powder room on the main floor and two parking spaces with every home.
“Many of our buyers have been asking for a bathroom on the main level,” says Kasahara. “We were able to achieve that in all of these floorplans,
and expect it to be a huge selling feature here at Bishop Creek.”
The private garages on every home feature a bonus room off of them, which Kasahara says can be used as extra storage space or a media room.
“We call it the ‘Man Cave’,” he says, adding that it’s “the perfect space for a big-screen TV, couch and bar fridge.”
The townhomes are built in a Craftsman style, with wood and brick accents and plenty of outdoor space, including private decks and patios. The development itself includes a landscaped park with a playground, and is bordered by the Bishop Creek itself and Harold Bishop Elementary School. The location also offers easy access to Highway 1.
The sales centre will open this summer, and buyers will be able to take possession before the next school year starts.
Homes at Bishop Creek start in the mid $300,000s. For more information, visit www.bluetreehomes.ca or call 604-588-0005.

With Craftsman-style architecture and plenty of outdoor space, the exteriors have great curb appeal and feature wood and brick accents, while the interiors are spacious and inviting.
Finding the perfect home easy at Bishop Creek
‘An exceptional home-buying experience’
Community feel important when choosing a home
Feeling at home in a low-rise buildingWhen you’re looking for a home,
feeling welcome in the community is often a big part of the puzzle. While high-rise architecture is popular, perhaps a low-rise development might be just what you’re looking for.
“People find comfort in the smaller scale,” says Andrew Emmerson of GBL Architects. “That’s not to say there won’t still be high-rises ... but (low-rises) feel more homey to some.”
One of the positive things about living in a smaller development is that you can more easily get to know your neighbours.
“You’re sharing amenities with 50 instead of 500,” Emmerson says. “Low-
rise buildings are more personable in that regard.”
That idea is being tested with Collection 45, an exclusive development that features 45 studio, one- and two-bedroom suites on six floors in the Mount Pleasant area of Vancouver, with the bottom floor holding commercial space.
“It’s not your typical cookie-cutter development,” says Emmerson.
The neighbourhood is a blend of historic and modern, with restaurants, shopping and recreation all within walking distance.
For more information, visit collection45.com or call 604-569-1555.
“ We don’t just build homes; we promise to
build your trust, answer your questions and make buying your home relaxed and stress-free,” says Bluetree general manager of sales and marketing Yosh Kashara.

THOME, Evelyn Janet(nee Vennard)
May 6, 1919 – May 6, 2012 Evelyn passed away peacefully at Mountain View Manor on Sunday morning, May 6, 2012 on the day of her 93rd birthday. Evelyn and her twin brother Everett were born in Chinook,
Alberta to Astessa and Levi Vennard. Predeceased by her husband Herbert in 1999, sister Beulah, brothers Emmett, Raymond, Freddie and Everett. Evelyn will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Betty (Neil), son Don (Faye), grandchildren Carmen, Tyler, Jordan (Carrie), great-grandchildren Ryder, Dylan, Sophia, sister Tressa and sisters-in-law Rose, Bertha, Ruth, Muriel, Eileen and many nieces and nephews. Mom will be remembered for her easy smile, kindness, generosity and love of family. Nothing pleased Mom (Nana) more than to have her family with her to share a family dinner. We will all miss her dearly, but will take comfort in knowing she is at peace and with our wonderful Dad (Baba). Loved by many, she will be missed by all who knew her. The family would like to thank the staff at Augustine House and Mountain View Manor for their outstanding care and compassion for Evelyn. A Celebration of Evelyn’s life will take place on Friday, May 18, 2012 at 1:30 pm at Delta Funeral Home, 5329 Ladner Trunk Road, Ladner, BC with a reception to follow.

Just over 15,000 runners turned out under sunny skies last Sunday to
test run a brand new route
at the 41st BMO Vancou-ver Marathon.
After several years of declin-ing enrollment, the organizers decided it was time to capital-ize on the city’s natural beauty, creating a point to point course that showcased the very best of Vancouver, including Queen Elizabeth Park, Spanish Banks, Kitsilano and Stanley Park.
According to Forbes Maga-zine (Jan. 2012 issue), the BMO Vancouver Marathon is now ranked in the top 10 destina-tion marathons in the world. It’s also offi cially Canada’s largest marathon.
The marathon in its 41st year has come a long way since
1972, when 45 entrants lined up for fi ve loops around Stan-ley Park and only 32 fi nished. It all began with legendary run-ners Dr. Jack Taunton and Ivor Davies, founding members of the Lions Gate Road Runners. It was originally called the Brit-ish Columbia Marathon.
This year’s event breakdown was 5,000 in the marathon and 10,000 in the half, with excited locals and visitors alike eager to try the new routes.
At 7:20 A.M. I arrived at Queen Elizabeth Park, follow-ing the masses to the start line. I looked forward to riding in the media car for the fi rst time and getting a bird’s eye view of not just the new route but the race
leaders as well. It was relaxing while staying ahead of the elite pack! Ethiopia’s Gezahgn Eshetu, in his fi rst time at Van-couver, won in 2:21:50, edging the 2011 champion, Bernard Onsare by 25 seconds. Ellie Greenwood, originally from Scotland now living in North Vancouver, was fi rst woman across the line in 2:42:16.
But that’s not what the BMO Vancouver Marathon is about.
It’s a running festival with thousands of visitors from 50 countries celebrating a healthy lifestyle while doing the city tour on foot. In short, they came for a good time and they got it.
For father and son, Brad and
Chris Cochrane of Penticton, B.C., the marathon was every-thing they hoped it would be. “It was an awesome course!” Brad said at the fi nish area near the Olympic Cauldron. “So incredibly scenic and (it) covered so many parts of the city. The volunteers and spectators were absolutely unbelievable out there.”
Jon Mahoney, retired corpo-rate pilot, ran the race to mark his 400th career marathon. The 60-year-old Mahoney has run Vancouver 17 times and loves the new course. “New York City is still my favorite big city marathon because they have two million spectators. Paris is the most beautiful;
Amsterdam is the fl attest. Vancouver’s course is much better now. It really showed off our beautiful city.”
Funny thing about riding in the media car, which was driv-en by long-time volunteer Lynn Thompson, the race was over before I knew it. No sweat, no sore legs, no looking for a quiet place to die, just “Thanks for the experience.” Nice as it was to ride in comfort, I do look for-ward to my next marathon on my own power. I’ll be sure to let you know when and where that will be.
