Skateboard showdoes the trick

As the school year comes to an endthis week, some of Richmond’s educa-tional assistants and non-teaching stafframped up their contractbargaining efforts witha one-day, informationpicket.

Armed with placardsand leaflets, a relativelysmall group represent-ing CUPE Local 716paced up and down thesidewalks outside the Richmond School

District offices Tuesday to bring atten-tion to a stall in talks with the govern-ment.

About a dozen membersbelonging to the union’s strikecommittee took part, while oth-

ers were asked toeither join the jobaction before or afterwork. The action wasspecifically designednot to disrupt classes.

June Kaiser, presi-dent of Local 716, said

the inaction at the bargaining table isa big concern and Monday’s job action

could be a sign of things to come whenclasses start up again in September.

Kaiser said CUPE is lookingto broker a two-year deal withtheir employer and is pushing fora raise that would be in line withinflation and what other publicservice unions have received.

“We didn’t even get to that point innegotiations because we were told therewas no money on the table,” Kaiser said.

Visiting the picketers was Richmondschool trustee Eric Yung who said thedistrict’s hands are tied since they onlyreceive funding from the government.

A young skateboarder pulls off a trick during the second annual Show Off skate event at ThompsonCommunity Centre skate park on the weekend.

A grass-roots skateboardingevent is catching big air after onlytwo years on the ground.

The second annual Show Offyouth skate night rolled intothe skate park at ThompsonCommunity Centre on the weekendwith more than double the amountof participants from its inauguralyear.

As well as prizes for the skate-boarding, the parents came out inforce as well to enjoy a barbecue,DJ and a live graffiti exhibition.

The event is the brainchildof local skateboarder and com-

munity centre volunteer TimothyRubenfeld, who was amazed atthe progress of some of the skate-boarders, aged 12 to 25, from lastyear.

“It shows that the new skatepark is being used and it’s great tosee so many parents out supportingthe event as well,” said Rubenfeld.

“And it’s great to see so manykids’ skills improving from whatwas on show last year.”

For next year, Rubenfeld hopesthe event gets even bigger and islooking at attracting some pro-fessional skateboarders out for ademo and perhaps pull in somemore sponsors for even more priz-es for the kids.

Piano program strikes bum noteParents, students unhappy after popular teacher gets axe

A growing band of angry parents and stu-dents are threatening to withdraw from a City ofRichmond piano program unless their teacher isre-instated.

City bosses hit the wrong note with someof those enrolled in Lydia Kay’s piano classesafter they axed the long-serving Russian-trainedinstructor’s contract.

With just a few weeks notice and no reason,Kay — who has around 65 loyal students anda waiting list at the Richmond Cultural Centreprogram — was told her rolling seasonal contractwas not being renewed after seven years.

Some of the outraged parents, led by adultstudent Teresa Jordan, armed themselves with an80-signature petition and protested the decisionat Monday night’s city council meeting in councilchambers.

“I think she’s brilliant and she has a veryholistic approach,” said Jordan, who’s been a stu-dent of Kay’s for one and a half years.

“She also teaches students with physical dis-abilities, many of whose parents didn’t believethey could ever play the piano.

“She first taught my grandson who said hedid not want to practise; but he took to Lydia andhe ended up really enjoying her lessons.

“I told city council that I think what they’redoing is very irresponsible. (Kay) has 70 stu-dents, with many more on the waiting list.”

City officials have told Jordan they can’t dis-

cuss Kay’s contract, which she fully understands.“But this is all bureaucratic nonsense. It

seems to me there has been a personality clash ofsome kind.

“Surely they can work something out becauseshe’s amazing and there’s going to be some veryangry parents, I can tell you.”

Although being denied an explanation for hercontract not being renewed, Kay admitted to theNews it may have something to do with a fewrun-ins with the program coordinator and even ablast at the mayor’s office.

“It was like a guillotine coming down on me,”said Kay.

“Sunday was my last day. I was given no rea-son and was only told, ‘as a contractor, we don’thave to give you a reason.’

“It was very hurtful. I had done this for seven

years and always had a waitlist here.“I did speak loudly to the program coordina-

tor many times, and I even went to the mayor’soffice one day to complain. Maybe it’s a person-ality thing? I don’t know, because they won’t tellme.”

What Kay does know is that her studentsand their parents are far from happy, many ofwhom she understands are going to follow herto Fraserview Church, where there’s a “fantasticgrand piano.”

“I’ll be running summer classes there,” sheadded.

Along with Jordan, mom of two Yum Leung— whose daughter, 12, and son, 10, are both stu-dents — intends to follow Kay.

“I will be taking my children out of any newcity program and following Lydia,” said Leung.

“The way she’s been treated is terrible andshe’s a wonderful teacher. Many of the parentsthink the same.”

City spokesperson Ted Townsend said a deci-sion was made to go in a “different directionwith this program.

“We will be continuing the program in the fallwith new, qualified instructors who will providethe high standard expected by our students, par-ents and the community.”

Because Kay was a contractor, Townsend saidthe city can’t discuss personnel issues publiclyand can’t go into the reasons for the change.

“The government has asource of funds that’s discre-tionary. We don’t,” he said.

“Virtually everything weare given — about 93 percent — goes towards salariesin the school district.

“So, we don’t retain any-thing. Our job is to maintainthe school district to our bestability for our learners.

“And that includes puttingthe support staff, as well asthe teaching staff, up in frontof students.”

Yung added he is hopefulthe government will providesome additional money to

fund an increase for staffwho are every bit as vitalto the education system asteachers.

It’s a status he feels hasnot been adequately takeninto consideration.

“I think that it’s time weaddress CUPE in much theway the government wants toaddress the teachers,” Yungsaid.

“And I think it’s only fairto remember there’s twounions in the school process.And one can’t work withoutthe other.”

CUPE workers includeeducational assistance, jani-tors and administration staff.

News

It was shocking news that threemoms attacked another mother inwhat was described as a “boot-stomping” at an elementary schoolFamily Fun Day in Surrey twoweeks ago. But it turns out it wasnot the only violent clash by par-ents while their school kids wereon hand this month.

A week before the Surrey pun-chup, in which two women werecharged with assault, two dads gotinto it at a Richmond elementaryschool sports day, and this timethere was at least one weaponinvolved.

Two men, aged 43 and 38,began to argue in the parking lotat James Whiteside elementary at9282 Williams Road around 9:30a.m. on June 7 and the argumentturned physical, Cpl. SherrdeanDerkatch of the Richmond RCMPsaid.

A Code Red was declaredand the children, aged five to 13,were sent inside their second-ary safe-site, the next-door HughMcRoberts high school.

“I think some of the childrenmay have been impacted by whathappened,” James Whiteside prin-cipal Jane McFadyen said. “Butthe incident was quickly resolvedwith the help of the RCMP.

“In the end, sports day wasreally successful, the children goton with their day and they had alot of fun.”

The fighting dads were arrestedand one weapon, believed to be aknife, was confiscated. Both menwere taken by ambulance to hospi-tal, treated for minor injuries andreleased.

Charges have not beenapproved at this time, Derkatchsaid.

A counsellor was availableon the following Monday andTuesday for the James Whitesidestudents.

“We have the resources on siteif any of the children are anxious,”McFadyen said.

In Surrey, three women hadto be pulled off the victim afterganging up on her.

“There was hair pulling andeye gouging and punches beingthrown,” said Richard Kuebler,

father of two daughters at theschool.

Kuebler, a manager with UPS,separated the sparring womenwhile school principal Teresa Starrgot the children (ages five to 13)out of the area.

“It’s sad when you have toworry about the adults’ behaviourand not the kids,” said Cpl. BertPaquet of the Surrey RCMP.

The attack apparently stemmedfrom a previous road-rage incidentwhen one of the women felt shewas cut off.

Ben Gill, vice-president of theschool’s parent advisory com-mittee, arrived just as the womenwere being separated.

A kick boxer and fan of mixedmartial arts, Gill said he’d neverseen anything like it.

“It was a boot-stomping,they just wouldn’t let up,” saidGill, who has two children at theschool. “I’ve never seen anybodyso beat up.”

Gill said one of the allegedattackers said, in her own defence:“Well, she started it.”

A dedicated contractor has been award-ed the position of construction manager tothe City of Richmond.

Stuart Olson Dominion was given thego-ahead Monday after a special generalmeeting of city council.

The Calgary-basedcompany, which has anoffice in Richmond, hasbeen brought on boardto primarily oversee theconstruction of a facilityreplacement program,including the proposednew Minoru aquatic andseniors centres.

The move by the citywas described in a reportto city council as a “costcontainment” measure, similar to the one itused to construct the Olympic oval.

Benefits, according to city staff, ofusing one construction company include:quicker project delivery; reduced manage-ment and administration costs; staffingefficiencies.

The selection of Stuart Olson comesafter a near two-year process, which kicked

off with a total of 15 firms responding tothe city’s expression of interest (EOI).

A shortlist of five and then three wascreated by city staff, with a presentationand best and final offers made by eachcandidate.

Staff then evaluated each bid on experi-ence, resources, project methodology, workschedule and fixed fee costs.

Stuart Olson receivedthe highest score with afixed management feeof $2.25 million, basedon a $150 million capitalproject value.

“Stuart OlsonDominion offers the bestvalue in terms of low-est cost and the highestcommunity benefit in theform of a cash sponsor-ship for the Richmond

Olympic Experience Project,” accordingto the report presented to city councilMonday.

The management fee does not includestaffing costs, which would be billed on aproject-by-project basis.

Should city council approve, as expect-ed, the move next month, the contract withStuart Olson would be for five years.

A province-wide cyclingevent to raise awareness ofmental health this week-end, which came throughRichmond, raised nearlyhalf a million dollars forthe Canadian Mental HealthAssociation.

Organizer MichaelSchratter said after theSunday morning Ride Don’tHide event that $445,000 hadbeen pledged and more isexpected.

An avid cyclist who hasdealt with bipolar disorderall his life, Schratter firstrode across Canada in 1994and then around the world in2010 — which culminatedat the Richmond OlympicOval — to promote publicdialogue on the issues facingone in five Canadians.

Schratter rode the 20-kilometre loop from Burnabyto Main Street with his wifeand several friends, includ-ing one who cycled from theOkanagan to participate. A10-kilometre and 60-kilome-

tre route were also available,the latter an out-and-backride to Richmond fromBurnaby.

About 2,150 people tookpart in 13 communities inB.C. in the second annualevent, with 1,100 from MetroVancouver.

Organizers beat theirfundraising goal of $400,000,or one dollar for every

Vancouverite who is poten-tially affected by mentalillness.

“Because there was noth-ing like this that says, ‘hey,enough is enough, you don’thave to be embarrassedor ashamed, let’s end thestigma,’ I think there’s thishuge pressure or backlog ofenergy and I think it’s goingto spread even further,” said

Schratter, who is a schoolteacher.

A Canadian MentalHealth Association branchin North York, a suburb ofToronto, also took part, andSchratter said he hopes that’sa sign the event could gonational next year, especiallywith Shoppers Drug Mart asthe title sponsor.

“We are extremely heart-ened by the turnout today,”said Bev Gutray, CEO of theB.C. Canadian Mental HealthAssociation.

“These are just the earlydays. The (fundraiser) isgoing to be over time anunbelievable movement ofhope and health; a way forpeople to step out into the

light to celebrate and supportthose with mental illness.”

The ride began on asombre note, Schratter said,with a moment of silenceto honour Xavier Pelletier,the Victoria teenager whowas killed in a crash inWashington State during lastweekend’s Ride to ConquerCancer charity event.

EDITORIAL OPINION

Kudos to Premier Christy Clark.Whether it’s a move to help secure her own upcoming

by-election or a genuine ability to listen to the people sheserves, the fact is Clark has done the right thing on pay raises.

You will recall that Premier Clark came away from all thesurprises that May’s election offered with a surprise of her own.

While out of one side of her mouth she was busy telling theprovince that once her government was re-elected, no one needbother holding out their hands for cash for their pet projects,out of the other side of her mouth came a raft of foul economiclanguage that included massive raises for some of her favouritebureaucrats.

Many of her low-to-mid-level minions were blessed with payhikes of 11 per cent and some of Clark’s most favoured helperssaw their salaries boosted by as much as 18 per cent, and mount-ing a $200,000/year plateau.

This while we also heard wheelchair-bound healthcare clientswere being asked to shell out $25 a month to help maintain thegovernment’s equipment (in many cases, equipment donated togovernment-funded facilities by generous charities).

The public outrage was palpable.And to the undoubted consternation of a host of bureaucrats

who likely thought they had won the lottery, Clark heard andresponded to the cries of the masses.

She has admitted that her cabinet had erred in awarding thosegenerous raises, and has rolled them back. The gesture may onlyhave something to do with her own upcoming by-election.

But if Clark is to be taken at her word, she must realize hercalls for belt-tightening should include all her own staff, if shewants the B.C. public to take her seriously.

The province’s MLAstake their place in the leg-islature this week, and 34of them come back intothe house with a giant darkcloud hovering over them.

Those would be mem-bers of the new NDP cau-cus, a dispirited and demor-alized bunch who will puttheir best faces forward andinsist they will perform asan aggressive, responsibleOpposition.

But how they performin the legislature masks thefact the party faces a grimpolitical reality. The partyhas a serious leadershipproblem, as leader AdrianDix’s hold on the job is farfrom secure.

Dix has said he takes“full responsibility” for thestunning election loss. Whatthat actually means has notyet been made clear.

If he tries to hang on tohis job he will face a testat the party’s convention inNovember, when delegateswill vote on whether thereshould be a leadership elec-tion. I suspect he will needthe backing of at least 70per cent of the delegates tocontinue on with any cred-ibility, and if the vote wereheld today I doubt he wouldreceive that level of support.

Dix may want to reviewhis party’s remarkablerecord for vicious infight-ing when it comes to partyleadership. In 1986, somemembers of the NDPcaucus staged an unsuc-cessfully coup against then-leader Bob Skelly, who wasperceived as someone whocould not compete with Bill

Vander Zalm in that year’selection.

Skelly’s successor, MikeHarcourt, resigned after hewas essentially deserted byhis own caucus when theBingogate scandal engulfedhis party. The next leader,Glen Clark, was in troublewith some members of hisown caucus even before thecasino scandal forced himfrom the premier’s office.

The subsequent leader-ship race to replace Clarkwas a bitter clash betweenUjjal Dosanjh and GordonWilson, and the angerassociated with that racewas heightened becausethe 2001 election was aforegone conclusion andthe party was about to bebooted from power.

And then, of course,there was the remarkabletake-down of Carole James.

Given that every partyleader between Dave Barrettand Dix faced some kind ofinternal revolt, it is hard tosee how Dix will avoid thesame treatment, althoughwhether he survives thatinfighting remains to beseen.

Further troubling theNew Democrats is whatappears to be a philosophi-cal split in the party. Thesplit was revealed in themiddle of the election

campaign when Dix sud-denly declared his dead-setopposition to the proposedKinder Morgan pipeline.

One of the reasons theNDP lost the election isbecause that opposition toa large industrial projectmay well have cost it seatsoutside of Metro Vancouverand Vancouver Island.

This problem doesn’t endwith Kinder Morgan. If theNDP decides it is againstthings like fracking, the SiteC dam and LNG terminals,it will further cement itsimage as an anti-job partynot interested in economicdevelopment.

Such a developmentwould be hugely ironic. TheNDP traces its roots to theold CCF party, which was alabour-oriented party whichfought for the interests ofthose working in industriessuch as forestry and mining.

We may indeed be head-ed to a realignment of ourtwo major parties. PerhapsB.C. will eventually have anenvironmental party and abusiness party, with minorparties around the edges.

But in the meantime,the NDP has to carry onwith that giant black cloudhanging over its head, whilethe B.C. Liberals can’t stopsmiling.

And broadening thosesmiles is the knowledge thattheir wounded opponentshave leadership issues andpolicy differences. Luckyfor the NDP the session willonly be a month long.

The Editor,Re: “City eyes $110 million rebuild,” News, June 19.As a senior citizen who regularly visits and uses these facili-

ties, I strongly object to this excessive waste of diminishingpublic funds on a low-priority, luxury mega-project of interest toonly a tiny segment of our community.

Firstly, as a senior citizen living in a community in which onein four children currently lives in poverty, I’m embarrassed tobe complicit in, once again, dipping deeply into our children’spockets to finance what is essentially a non-vital, luxury desire.

The present facilities are okay. It’s not okay that child povertyrates here in Richmond are among the highest in Canada, andhave been so for a generation.

Most parents of children living in poverty here are makingenormous sacrifices for their kids. I can certainly sacrifice a newpool and seniors center.

Child poverty hides in plain sight in Richmond. If we wait forthe provincial or federal government to act on it, we shall wait— and wait, and wait.

In short, isn’t it time city council made child poverty inRichmond a table top priority at city hall, and finally putRichmond children first?

Isn’t it time, Coun. Ken Johnston, that “council mosied alongon this.”

Letters

The Editor,Living in Richmond has

convinced me that whenit comes to one issue inparticular, the world canbe divided simply into twodistinct groups of people:those who love trees, foli-age, gardens, and greenspaces, and those whodon’t.

And if what is transpir-ing in our neighbourhoodrepresents what the futurewill look like in our resi-dential areas, then one canonly conclude the City ofRichmond has decidedto ignore the values andconcerns of the former andpander to the interests anddemands of the latter.

Every new megapseudo-mansion ensures

the removal of at least onemature tree. Far too manyof those are destroyedsimply for the purpose ofallowing the addition of athird garage space, manyof which simply end-upbeing storage areas.

The footprint of thesebuildings is such that frontlawns, large trees andshrubbery, complementarygardens and backyards aremade irrelevant.

The concepts of thespace around a home beingan interactive, integral partof the living environmentas well as an importantdimension of its aestheticqualities have been almosttotally abandoned in thecity’s apparent desire tofill its residential neigh-

bourhoods with treelesslots and empty, tax-gener-ating, out-of-scale houses.

Of course, if peoplechoose to concentrate mostof their lives indoors andignore any aspect of livingaround their homes, thatis their right and privilege.But there seems to be analmost total lack of con-cern for the fact that thepresence or absence ofmature trees and foliagenot only plays an impor-tant role in affecting thepersonality of an entireneighbourhood, but alsothe character and qualityof the lives of those whoreside in it.

A tree is not justremoved from a lot, it isremoved from the lives of

neighbours who love itsexistence, love its beauty,love the birds that nest init, love the shade it castson hot days, love the pri-vacy it might facilitate,love the ways in which itenhances the view througha window, love the ways inwhich it softens the impactof brutal architecture, andlove the ways in which itreminds us that it is naturethat has always nurturedus, not our technologies.

Call me a tree-hugger ifyou like, but in an either/or world, I would muchrather look up at a beauti-ful tree than the massiveface of yet another prop-erty line-crowding megahouse and would prefer towalk by open lawns than

stone walls, iron gates, andexpansive brick driveways,and I gladly accept theraking of leaves in the fallas the small price I have topay to enjoy the proximityof beautiful greenery.

And, most certainly, Iwould rather have faith inthe city departments thatare supposed to protectour trees rather than beconstantly disappointedand enraged by their half-

hearted attempts at doingso.

But those are the thingsthat differentiate my valuesand priorities from thosewho seem to have gainedthe favour of Richmond’smayor and council. It isthey who have managed toreduce the issue to simpleblack and white (or greenand grey) terms.

CommunityWhat raises your doc’s heart rate?

Many doctors’ officeshave a litany of posters liningtheir reception and examiningrooms — so many in fact thatthe average reader would havedifficulty discerning what ismost important.

For this reason, I prefer tokeep my posters to the essen-tial.

All family doctors have had patients whoadd on an alarm symptom just as they areleaving. “By the way, doctor, I’ve been get-ting this chest pain every time I exercise...”

This is when the doctor’s heart rate goesup. The above example suggests angina —chest pain or pressure (that may also be expe-rienced in the throat or either arm) provokedby exercise or anxiety and relieved by rest.It could be a sign of ischemic heart disease— where a major artery supplying cardiacmuscle is critically narrowed.

Here is my list of alarm symptoms.Pain: pain that is unexplained, severe,

colicky, electrical or persistent; chest pain,especially if it is squeezing or associated withsweating, nausea or radiation into the neck orarm; bone pain, especially if it is unremittingand disturbs sleep.

Loss of function: unexplained changesin speech, memory, emotions, swallowing,bowel movements, urination, heart rhythm,vision, hearing, balance, coordination, sensa-tion or muscle function.

Constitutional: unexplained sudden orprogressive changes in weight, body tempera-ture, energy, appetite, thirst, leg swelling and

exercise tolerance.Growths: new or growing

lumps felt in the skin, mouth,muscle, breast or scrotum;lymph nodes felt around theneck and under the arms; skinchanges, including ugly moles,persistent scabs or sores.

Bleeding: in urine, sputum,stools (which can appear tarry

black with bleeding peptic ulcers) or vomit.Nosebleeds that are recurrent or prolongedrequire medical attention.

Many may think that it’s common senseto seek immediate medical attention withthese symptoms. One of my patients failedto report blood in his urine for over one year.By then, he presented with the behaviouralsymptoms of cancer that had metastasizedfrom his bladder to his brain.

More recently, an elderly patient reporteda 50-lb. weight loss and progressive difficultyswallowing. Although they began five monthsearlier, he did not report these symptoms ofstomach cancer until now.

My intention is not to raise anxiety. Muchof the time, the above alarm symptoms haveinnocent causes. However, they may also beharbingers of serious conditions, includingheart attacks, strokes and cancer.

They therefore require timely medicalattention. The poster in my office requests mypatients to bring these symptoms to my atten-tion at the beginning of a visit.

A: As selling your home can be a very stressful time,one of the Stager'sroles is to make this whole process run as smoothly as possible for everyone.There are a variety of services,and which ones are suggested would dependon the condition of the house,current furniture & décor and overall ‘look’ ofthe home.The aim of Stagers,Realtors and Owners should be to appeal to thepotential Buyers.Due to their training,Stagers are a wonderful resource as theycan identify what areas should be addressed for maximum effect!The ultimate goal is for the home to be presented (& priced) at its best, so it sellsas quickly and for the most money as possible.Elle Hunter

changes in your life?

A: The number one obstacle to making changes in your life is fear.Does fear of making a wrong decision,or what other people may think ofyou,make you feel stuck? It’s useful to know that fear is simply a thoughtyour mind creates. A life coach helps you work with your inner critic tomake challenges and decisions feel more comfortable. Working with alife coach on a longer term basis can help banish fear. You can then makebold strides into new life experiences with more confidence!

Q: I want to hire a professional dog walker and amwondering if group dog walks are good for my dog?

A: Your dog and every other dog,no matter its breed or size,all evolved from wolvesand wolves are pack animals.All dogs,even the tiny toy breeds,have an inherent,hard wiredneed to get up and walk in a pack every day just as wolves do every day.Hiring a professionaldog walker who walks dogs in small groups or packs is one of the very best ways you cangive your dog the physical and mental exercise he/she needs to be healthy and happy.Packwalks are a necessary key part of making sure your dog is properly socialized too.A dog whois not properly socialized usually develops undesired behaviours such as excessive barking atother dogs,biting or nipping other dogs etc.These behaviours are not a sign that you shouldkeep your dog away from other dogs!These are signs that your dog needs to be socializedand there is no better way to accomplish this than pack walking with a professional dogwalker who knows how to help your pooch become a balanced member of a dog pack.

Q: When do I need to service my vehicle?

A: Today’s automobiles vary greatly in what is required when it comes tomaintenance service.Manufacturers suggest anywhere from 5000 to 25000 kmservice intervals.The service schedule for your vehicle should be included in yourowner’s manual or will quite often appear in the way of a warning message or signon your instrument cluster or message centre.Not all the services recommended maybe required but they need to be monitored on an ongoing basis and performed whennecessary.A good service facility will keep on top of these matters for you and ensurethat your vehicle is in proper running order.Maintaining your car is the best way toeliminate costly and inconvenient breakdowns.Rob Lang

your back hurting your golf swing?

A: Poor posture and faulty mechanics coupled with weakness andinstability cause compensation to occur during a golf swing. Posture isessential to assess as it reveals muscular imbalances and inefficienciesthat can lead lower back pain and will often result in a substantial loss ofpower during a swing. Optimal posture is to have a neutral spine mean-ing no excessive curvatures in the upper or lower back and appropriateexercises will correct any imbalances.To learn more about how fixing your posture can help your back painand/or your golf swing contact us today.Andrea Lawson

Q: What should I be looking for in summerskin care products?

A: In order for any skin care product or treatment to produce tangible results,your skin must be well hydrated.Key ingredients like PCA or hyaluronic acid help tomaintain the skin’s moisture level.Perspiration and oil production increase duringwarm weather.Gently exfoliating twice a week not only removes the excess debris,but it allows for maximum absorption of products and leaves the skin looking radiant.Nourishing the skin with peptides will repair and regenerate,while antioxidants aregreat for fighting against free radical damage caused by environmental factors.Finishwith a water-resistant,broad-spectrum sunscreen with ingredients like zinc oxide ortitanium dioxide, for maximum protection against aging and cancer-causing UV rays.Caroline Crochet

Q: Can I use my attic for storage?

A: Attics are designed to keep the home warm through floor insulation,while allowingmoist air from bathrooms,kitchens and dryers to vent out through the roof.Attics are also designedto allow for air circulation above the insulation.Although many people like to use the the attic space for storage, it is not recommended.Storagecompressess the insulation, thus, reducing the warmth potential inside the home.Attic air is nothealthy to breath as it is full of tiny particles and fibers.In addition,paper based items can contribute to mold growth when it is cool & ventilation is ham-pered.Attics are not engineered to carry extra loads.When heavy storage items are left in the attic,the ceiling structure could be affected,causing ceiling cracks.However,with proper alterations,permits & the help of a structural engineer this space can beconverted into storage space,but then it would no longer be an attic.Bottom line...an attic shouldonly be used as designed and nothing else.Sean Moss

Q: I have been wearing dentures for many years andthey are to the point that my gums are extremely sore andred: what can I do?

A: Soft tissue management is the answer you are seeking.Rehabilitation of softtissues is primary.First, your dentures require cleaning to remove offensive organismsthat may be contributing to the inflammation and edema (swelling).Tissue conditioners(temporary soft lining material) are placed on the tissue fitting surface of your dentures toprovide a clean positive adaptation to your gum tissues.Healing begins and your tissuesare reassessed in a week to confirm the progress of healing.Generally a second and orthird tissue conditioner may need to be applied before proceeding to the construction ofnew dentures.New dentures promote a healthy clean fitting surface for many years. If youhave any questions regarding this procedure or any other denture related subject,pleasebook your free consultation with us.

Q: I’ve seen and heard a lot about identity theftand insurance lately, what does this type of coveragecover and what are the costs?

A: This type of insurance is relatively new and a valuable coverage to have with thistype of crime happening to thousands of Canadians a year; if the theft is relatively small it cango easily unnoticed.As anyone who does notice and had their identity stolen or documentsforged will attest the costs, time and stress involved in getting the criminal transactionsreversed is significant. Identity theft insurance pays for the costs of notarizing documents, timeoff work, telephone charges and other expenses related to the fraud.The cost for this cover-age is often included in home insurance policies and if not the cost is around the range of$40 a year.For businesses the cost is approximately $75 yearly.Of course we would be happyto answer any questions there are about this or any other insurance matter.

Q: Why should I rotate my tires?

A: If you never rotate your tires, the fronts will last about 10,000 to 20,000miles and the rears will last 50,000 to 80,000 miles.The reason we rotate tires is toeven out the wear and properly done,all the tires will be worn out at the same time.It’s also a great excuse to inspect your brakes on a regular basis.It is important to rotate your tires to even out the wear.The front tires will wear theoutside edge because the tire leans over when you turn a corner.Slight outside edgewear that appears to be the same on both front tires is no reason to be alarmed. Ifyou find one of the front tires has significantly more wear than the other, then there iscause for alarm.The rear tires just follow the fronts so their wear is minimal.Ricky Wong

The Richmond golfer is fresh off wrap-ping up her outstanding collegiate career atSan Diego State University.

She once again has a busy summer oftournament play ahead as a member of theCanada’s national women’s amateur team.

A year ago, Wong set a 72-hole champi-onship scoring record with a 274 (2-under)total to hold off Port Coquitlam’s Soo-BinKim. This time, she will also have to be on

top of her game to reclaim theFlumerfelt Cup.

Her biggest challenge isexpected to come from JisooKeel of Coquitlam who is alreadyenjoying an impressive 2013season and is headed to StanfordUniversity this fall.

Kim is also back looking toimprove on her runner-up finish.

Team Canada has a number ofdevelopment squad members inthe field including Taylor Kim ofSurrey, Naomi Ko of Victoria and

Langley’s Kathy Lim. All wouldall love to add their name to theillustrious list of past competi-tors who have won the Women’sAmateur Championship.

Not to be forgotten as favou-rites are a strong contingent ofNCAA competitors including2012 CN Canadian Women’sOpen qualifier and PortlandState University’s A Ram Choi ofSurrey, University of WashingtonHuskies Jennifer Yang ofCoquitlam and SooBin Kim of

Port Coquitlam, Oregon State UniversityBeaver Anica Yoo of Port Coquitlam and SanJose State University Spartan Megan Oslandof Kelowna.

The list of contenders also includesWong’s younger sister Stephanie whoenjoyed another strong season with the UBCThunderbirds.

Sitting at a 6220 yards and playing asa par 74, the Pitt Meadows Golf Club willchallenge strategic shot making through itstree-lined fairways and difficult greens. Thetournament got underway yesterday and con-cludes Friday.

Players for the Provincial DevelopmentProgram have been selected via the EASports B.C. Premier Soccer League.

“We continue to be pleased with over-all process of identification and assess-ment of the players within the program,”said Michael Findlay, Director of SoccerDevelopment for B.C. Soccer. Over 300

players participated within the evalua-tion and scouting process as we moveinto the final phase of the 2013 ProvincialDevelopment Program.

It is the goal and one of the key strate-gic objectives of B.C. Soccer to continuethe growth and provide standards forthe recognized Provincial DevelopmentProgram.

“The Vancouver Whitecaps program-ming would not be as effective in theidentification of players in the province ifit was not for the partnership between theWhitecaps, EA Sports B.C.

A: Shin splints are an overuse injury and inflammatory condition that developsmicrotears in the site or origin of the muscles from the bone.The pain actually occurswhen a runner increases mileage,changes to a harder surface or adds hill running,etc.Gradual introduction of each of your activities will reduce the possibility of shin splints.Since a major function of acupuncture is to facilitate the flow of Qi(energy) and blood,such a treatment can reduce the swelling,pain,and hasten the healing by increasingthe circulation into the area affected by the microtears.

Q: I run, golf and play soccer and baseball regu-larly in the spring and summer which often leads toshin splints. Can TCM prevent this from happening?

Q: Leasing a car vs buying a car?

A: When acquiring a vehicle there are three main ways to do so: through financing, cash-paid,or through a leasing. I’ll explain why I think leasing a car is better than financing a car and even betterthan paying cash for it.Financing is well known as the action of providing required capital for ‘x’ or ‘y’ project. The unpredict-ability of economy and its consequent fluctuating interest rates, makes financing a risky business unlessit’s low interest fixed rate.If you want to buy a new car with your surplus cash, there are a couple things you need to know.Depleting your savings to buy a motorized machine is not the most advised thing to do.Would you pay more interest financing a car than what you would earn from investing your money insomething certain such as a savings certificate? Also, how is your credit health? Are you in a lot of debtalready? If such is your case, financing might not be your best shot.There is a way to always drive a new vehicle, a car always under warranty and with little need of main-tenance? And not just any vehicle, but fancier, better equipped wheels you probably couldn’t affordthrough cash payment or financing. That’s a lease in most cases. It’s your choice Make it!

A pair of huge tilts this week will go a long waytowards determining if the Richmond Roadrunnerswill repeat as regular season champions in the B.C.Intermediate “A” Lacrosse League but don’t tell that tohead coach Greg Rennie.

The Roadrunners (10-1) will have a chance to avengetheir only loss of the season tonight (8 p.m.) whenthe Maple Ridge Burrards (8-2) visit Minoru Arena.Richmond then heads to Victoria on Saturday afternoon tosquare off with the 10-2 Shamrocks.

Coming off back-to-back years where the Roadrunnershave enjoyed stellar runs in league play only to fizzle outat the provincials, Rennie is making sure he and his teamare not getting too caught up in the moment.

“I would call this a good measuring stick for us morethan anything else,” he said. “Yes, it would be nice tohave one of the top seeds where it won’t take too much toget to the provincials but the bottom line is we want to beplaying our best stretch of lacrosse in late July, not now.”

Richmond dropped a 12-10 decision to Maple Ridgeback on May 31 in a terrific battle that saw the hostscome back from a 9-8 deficit after two periods. Bothteams are excellent in their own end, having surrenderedthe least amount of goals in the league by a considerablemargin.

The Roadrunners cruised to a 13-7 win over Victoriaon June 16 at Minoru Arena but expect a much toughertest in the provincial capital.

“Maple Ridge is an excellent team and that was a greatgame that could have gone either way,” continued Rennie.“Victoria was missing a bunch of guys when they cameover here so we knew it’s going to be a much differentteam we see over there.”

Another good reason not put too much emphasis onresults at this time of year is these Grade 11 and 12 play-ers are focusing on final exams and graduation activities.Team captain and transition standout Brad Hoffman has agrad function at McMath tonight and won’t be available.

“There is definitely a lot of things going on for thesekids at this time of year,” added Rennie. “We’re veryhappy to be where we are right now and our best lacrosseis still ahead of us.”

Tyler Vogrig continued his outstanding season withfive goals and two assists against Victoria. He leads theleague in scoring with 64 points in 11 games, includ-ing 39 goals. Connor Davidson had two goals and threeassists, while Patrick Szabo also scored twice. SpencerBromley added a goal and four helpers. Jayden Campbell,Wyatt Kinna and Pearson Willis had the other goals.

Three days later, Richmond dumped New WestSalmonbellies 12-3 thanks to outscoring the visitors 10-1over the final two periods.

Vogrig had a hat trick. Braeden Jensen, Campbell andBromley added two each. Davidson rounded out the scor-ing. Chandler Bradley had three assists.

The success and popularity of the Steveston SalmonFestival means big crowds descending on the historicfishing village and surrounding neighbourhoods.

So, on July 1, to accommodate festival-goers and theannual parade route, there will be some road closures tobe aware of.

All parking and road regulations on that day will gointo effect at 9 a.m.

For the parade route the road closures include:Chatham Street, from Garry Point Park to Third

Avenue; Third Avenue between Chatham and MonctonStreets; and Moncton Street from Third Avenue toRailway Avenue.

An important note, during the parade, access to allstreets south of Moncton Street along Bayview Streetwill be closed to all traffic from 9 a.m. to noon.

Most of the roads around Steveston will be re-opened at the conclusion of the parade — at noon,approximately — except for Moncton Street, whichwill remain closed to traffic between Third Avenue andBayview Street (across from the RCMP’s communitypolicing station) until 5 p.m. to allow a safe, vehcile-free area for those attending the Salmon Festivalgrounds.

Community in parade organization

PARADE

Plenty to do at Salmon FestThe 68th Steveston Salmon Festival is a great way

and the Japanese Cultural Show proudly features dis-plays and demonstrations of a variety of traditionalarts.

At Kendo Hall (East Wing, Martial Arts Centre)10 a.m. to 4 p.m. — Ikebana, bonsai and calligra-

phy dispays12:45 to 1:15 p.m. — Tea Ceremony1:15 to 2 p.m. — Bonsai demonstration2 to 2:30 p.m. — Tea Ceremony2:30 to 3 p.m. — Ikebana demonstration

The Japanese Cultural Centre is open from 10a.m. to 4 p.m. and features displays from the NikkeiMuseum, Japanese Language School, StevestonBhuddist Temple and artistry including paper dolls,fish boat model displays, origami and Japanese crafts.

The old saying goes that “Everyoneloves a parade.”

But just ask Marcie Gray, and she’lltell you that parades are not only justfun to watch roll by. Actually being inthem is a great experience, as well.

And she should know after beinginvolved with helping prepare theSteveston Community Society’s floatfor the past six July 1st parades at theSteveston Salmon Festival.

“Being involved with the parademakes such a difference,” said Graywho is tasked with leading the decora-tion of the float.“It is a lot of workand time, squeez-ing things in duringyour regular life,but the rewards arephenomenal.

“Just being partof the communityand making greaterconnections withpeople. I feel likepart of a big team, and that makes melove Steveston that much more.”

Plans usually start coming togetherin January. And each following monththe volunteer team spends a few hours

sourcing decorations and other neededitems.

And when June comes, the effortsare ramped up to get all the piecesassembled and ready for thebig day.

Gray got involved after afriend recommended her andshe has never looked back,making sure each July 1, the25 by eight-foot trailer bed isre-designed to match the theme of thatyear’s Salmon Festival.

Last year, the float was accompa-nied by a flash mob that was part ofthe Me to We youth theme.

“That was something we kept underwraps,” Graysaid. “And before2010, we had anOlympic theme.Then prior tothat, we had a ‘gogreen’ theme.”

This timearound, the floatwill accommo-date a small gar-den to reflect the

theme of cultivating our past and till-ing our future — a link to the estab-lishment of the Steveston EducationalGarden beside the Japanese CulturalCentre.

“I have a fabulous carpenter whobuilt some beautiful arbors. And therewill be planter boxes for it,” Gray said.“And the thing about the garden is that

it will be very accessible. That’sone of its goals. So, we willhave planters at different levelsfor kids, seniors. It’s going tobe very beautiful.”

Traditionally, that means itwill be bright and colourful.

“It’s always fun picking the paintcolours,” Gray said. “Every year I gointo a store and buy the paint and thepeople in the store always stop meand ask, ‘Are you really sure you wantsomething that bright?’ But they don’tknow I’m getting it for a float which isusually bright and crazy.

“But they usually understand rightaway when I tell them what it’s for.”

The float also has the distinctionof being the first one on display alongthe parade route as it snakes throughSteveston Village and surroundingstreets.

“It’s the best float because it’s thefirst in the parade,” Gray said. “So, ifyou’re on the float you get to be at thevery beginning. Then you can get offat the end and watch the rest of theparade go by,” Gray said.

And that makes for the best of bothworlds.

“The people in the storealways stop me and ask,‘Are you really sure you

want something thatbright?’”

With a recent move to Los Angeles,award-winning Canadian musical artistAndrew Allen is coming home for CanadaDay.

The singer-songwriter, best known for hisacoustic guitar ballads, said he is excited toperform for a second time at the StevestonSalmon Festival in three years.

“When I came to play it the last time, itwas so much fun,” said Allen, who plans tobe in town for a week. “The people weresuper responsive and everyone seemed tohave a good time.

“I’m doing a show in Richmond, then I’mdoing another show in Coquitlam that night.Then I’m driving back to Vernon where therest of my band is from, and we’re spendingmy wife’s grandmother’s birthday with her onJuly 4,” he said, laughing. “And then we’reflying back to L.A. on the 5th.”

Allen will be opening the main stage eventat 1 p.m. and performing 11 or 12 songsfrom both of his albums — the self titledAndrew Allen EP and Living Room Sessions— including the single “Loving You Tonight”

that shot Allen to fame two years ago. He isalso debuting a brand new unreleased track

called “Play With Fire” during the festival.Prior to shifting his focus entirely on

music, Allen worked as a restaurant server,worship pastor and even as a social host ona Caribbean cruise liner where he said heembraced his Canadian roots.

“I didn’t really understand Canada Dayuntil I left and worked onboard a cruise shipand realized not how patriotic I am, but howproud of our country I am. So it’s excitingto come back and be ableto celebrate with otherCanadians.”

Allen said he draws hisinspiration from life, love,and by observing and dis-secting other people’s rela-tionships.

He is currently writing new material andworking with producer Ryan Stewart, whohas been tied to other Canadian talent suchas pop-singer Carly Rae Jepsen, and hopes tostart thinking about putting together anotheralbum in the fall.

Although originally hailing from theOkanagan Valley, Allen actually has closeties to the village. His father owns Hot WaxEntertainment, a professional wedding andcorporate DJ business located on StevestonHighway.

From the majestic, century-oldschooner Adventuress, the world’s“greenest” tall ship, to the crowd-

favourite mini-brigs with their pop guncannons, a flotilla of classic ships is mak-ing sail for Ships to Shore Steveston onthe Canada Day weekend.

From Saturday, June 29 to Monday,July 1, visitors can relive the days whenRichmond’s Steveston Village was amajor port-of-call for fleets of sailingships from around the world with freeboarding and viewing of more than 16unique and historic ships.

This year’s Ships to Shore eventwill again be held in historic StevestonVillage.

The ships will be docked at ImperialLanding, just a few paces along thewooden boardwalk from the villagecentre and at the Britannia Shipyards,National Historic Site, a short walk alongthe picturesque Steveston boardwalk.

“Steveston first welcomed tall ships

more than 125 years ago and it is alwaysan exciting moment when they return,”said Mayor Malcolm Brodie.

“Anyone who’s ever dreamed of goingto sea will want to take this opportunityto climb on board these historic and inter-esting vessels.”

Leading the Ships to Shore fleetthis year is the 41-metre (133-foot)Adventuress, which is celebrating its100th anniversary this year with a con-tinuing campaign for sustainability.

A truly “green” tall ship, focusedon providing environmental educationopportunities for youth, the Adventuressis also committed to applying sustainablepractices as she sails around the PacificNorthwest, minimizing her environmentalfootprint on the ocean, buying locally andchampioning groups promoting sustain-ability.

Another favourite returning for Shipsto Shore 2013 is the Canadian Navy’s

They will be limbering up theirlungs, loosening their lips and mak-ing last-minute adjustments to theiruniforms.

They are the Richmond LegionCommunity Band and they’re cel-ebrating their 40th birthday this year.

No matter the weather, no mat-ter how few makes their number, thelegion band has been a fixture at thefestival for the last four decades.

And this year, their big “4 - 0,”the band will once again strike up asan integral part of the annual SalmonFestival Parade.

“Rain or shine, we will be there,”said percussionist, Larry White, whothinks his first Canada Day paradewith the band was 1984.

“And there’s been some monsoonsin the past, I remember them well.”

For the first 30 years of their partin the parade, the band used to marchthe route, which back then began on

No. 1 and Francis roads.However, as is the case with most

Legion bands, time and old age catch-es up and they were forced to enlistthe help of Aheer Transport, who gen-erously offered the use of a trailer.

“It’s quite strenuous work march-ing and playing at the same timeand, for many of us, it’s just a bit toomuch,” said White.

Next week, though, the band— formed back in the spring of 1973by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch#5 — is likely to be the biggest itsbeen in the parade for many years.

“The number does tend to fluc-

tuate all the time, due to a numberof factors, such as age, personalityconflicts, disagreements over musicand people just moving town,” addedWhite.

“But this year, we’re up to 32members, the highest it’s been for awhile I think and they should all bethere at the parade.

“The band is very popular and wehave eight new members this year andmany of them are young; well work-ing age, I guess.”

their first ever SalmonFestival Parade — isIan Michie, who jok-ingly describes himself as“ancient” and thinks he’sabout 86 years old.

“I was playing thetrumpet and there wasabout 20 of us in theband,” said Michie, achemist at the pulp end fora forestry company at thetime, and who later wenton to serve as the band’spresident for 10 years.

“The band was theonly real opportunity inRichmond at the time forme to play.

“And we always prac-tised once a week ona Monday night at thelegion.”

Michie had to give upplaying — he played tubain his later years — fouryears ago, due to hisadvancing years.

But the band still prac-

tises once a week, and stillon a Monday night.

“There’s still very mucha social element to theband, as you can imagine,both after practises andafter events there’s a fewlibations,” smiled White.

“But it also keeps yousharp in the mind and is

very mentally stimulat-ing.”

Aside from the SalmonFestival Parade, the legionband performs at variouscivic and private func-tions and takes pride ofplace, not surprisingly,at the Cenotaph for theRemembrance Day com-

memorations.And they have their

annual fundraising concertat the Gateway Theatre inNovember.

The band has also hadthe honour of perform-ing at the opening of theArthur Laing and No. 2Road bridges and at the

Seattle Seafair parade.In 1976, the band

became incorporatedunder the name J.HThompson Band Society.

That incorporation wasdropped in 1981.

Later, it was incorpo-rated in 1996 under thename Lulu Island Music

Society.And in 2003, the name

was changed to RichmondCommunity Band Society,under which it still oper-ates.

For close to seven decades theSteveston Salmon Festival has been thefocus of a community celebration on anumber of fronts.

Since 1944, the event has honouredRichmond’s roots as a community foundedon farming and fishing.

Plus, it provides the opportunity tomark Canada’s birthday on July 1 ascrowds line the streets to watch the longline of floats make their way through thehistoric fishing village and surroundingneighbourhoods.

The event started out as a sports day-themed celebration on Dominion Day asa fundraiser to construct a playground atSteveston Park.

In 1946, the tradition of appointinga “Salmon Queen” was started. It was aclear reflection of the town, which owed agreat part of its prosperity to the numer-ous canneries that lined the waterfrontwhich at one time earned the area thename “Cannery Channel.”

That reputation of the town, and theSalmon Festival was enhanced in 1946when the Dominion Day celebrations inVancouver — the first one following theend of the Second World War — featuredparade floats publicizing the SalmonQueen Carnival.

The message worked, as the crowdsfollowed from Vancouver and ended up

lining Moncton Street. The event had tran-scended from a sports day to a carnival.

Today, the Steveston Salmon Festivaldraws people from all across the commu-nity and beyond for a fun-filled day thatechoes the past with time-honoured tradi-tions such as the salmon bake that servesup more than 1,200 pounds of wild sock-eye, athletic demonstrations of Kendo andJudo, the reflective serenity of a JapaneseTea Ceremony, and attention to the detailof Bonsai.

The annual Steveston Salmon Festivalparade brims over with colour, sights andsounds as it winds its way through thehistoric fishing village each July 1st.

And this year is no exception, but willhave the added feature of a milestoneanniversary for one of the participants,which delivers an annual message to“play safe” and “drive safe.”

This year, the War Amps marks its95th year of existence.

Since 1918, the nation-wide registeredcharitable organization founded by ampu-tee war veterans returning home from theFirst World War offers assistance to allCanadian amputees, including children,to improve their quality of life, provideeducation on the latest in artificial limbs,and raise awareness about issues asdiverse as the experiences and abilities ofamputees, child safety and Canada’s mili-tary heritage.

This year’s Salmon Festival floatwill feature some local members

of The War Amps Child Amputee(CHAMP) Program. Among them willbe Richmond’s Owen Greaves, 11, andeight-year-old James Kwaksistala.

The colourful, animated float they willbe riding on with other CHAMP mem-bers is specially designed to capture theattention of children, with ASTAR, thegold robot from Planet Danger, remind-ing all he can put his arm back on butthey can’t.

To further reinforce the message, theChamps shout out the “play safe” mes-sage to kids and the “drive safe” messageto adults along the parade route.

“In addition to passing on the safetymessage, the float this year is also areminder that The War Amps has beenpart of the Canadian landscape for almosta century now and will continue to bethere for these children and all amputeesin Canada,” said Rob Larman, Director ofPLAYSAFE/DRIVESAFE, who himselflost a leg at the age of 14 when friendsdared him to jump a train.

Village stores prepare to celebrate nation’s birth

From patriotic apparel and accesso-ries to Canadian-themed music, books,handmade items and even tattoos (bothstick-on and of the traditional variety),Steveston is the place to soak in every-thing the Great White North has to offerthis Canada Day.

Before the big bash in the village evenstarts, customers begin filtering in to theSOS Children’s Village BC thrift storeabout a week before, said long-time man-ager Barbara High.

“It’s mostly clothing. They’re buyingshorts and T-shirts and anything that hasa Canada flag on it,” said High. “We havequite a bit of old Olympic gear.”

SOS is going to be featuring perfor-mances by local talent outside the storeevery other weekend starting on July1, kicked off by accordion player DanPropp.

Another place people can catch livemusic that day is right in front of theBeatmerchant Record Store.

At press time, owner Frankie Neilsonsaid he hadn’t finalized who the actswill be, but patrons can probably expectsomething acoustic by musicians fromaround the Lower Mainland.

Inside the store, Neilson expects CDsby the recently-passed Canadian coun-try/folk icons Stompin’ Tom Connors and

Rita MacNeil to fly off the shelves.“Anyone that purchases anything on

that day gets to put their hand in thegoodie bag,” said Neilson. “People seemto love that. We have badges, pens, someCDs, I’ve got some posters to put in.And a few piranhas,” joked the London,England native.

It’s no surprise that Canadian artistsare in particularly high demand this dayof the year.

Luckily, Village Books & CoffeeHouse has added a large specialty sectionin their new location at 130-12031 1 Ave.

“We love our Canadian authors, andCanada reads featured by the CBC orVancouver Sun,” said co-owner AngelaHill, who recommends the funny VinylCafé series by Stuart McLean.

The book store, formerly known asGerry’s Books, is going through a bit of are-invention following their move.

Customers will soon be able to enjoya latté while browsing for their favouritetitles after the café portion of the establish-ment is approved by the health department.

“We’re really hoping for July,” said Hill.“It’s definitely a rebirth — after 20-plusyears, we were thinking things need tochange.”

“I’m a second hand store, and a lot ofour stock is either local from Richmondor local from B.C. or local in Canada,”said owner Chris Carr.

The myriad of items for sale at anytime is constantly changing, but depend-

“Oneof myregularcus-tomers

Carr said sometimes she will carryneedlepoint work and embroidery,although that kind of art has fallen by thewayside and no longer fetches the price itonce did.

The store originally opened in 1983

and is celebrating their 30th anniversaryin July.

There will be a 30 per cent off every-

thing sale from July 15 to 20.For more mainstream Canada Day

“We’ve got a whole wall display ofCanada memorabilia,” she said, add-ing the porch outside the store is a greatplace to stand and watch the floats go by.

If there is enough staff, Lamont saidthey might even do some face paintingfor the kids.

Halter opened up the shop inDecember 2011, and has three other art-ists.

“Last year we did the same thing. Ijust came up with the idea, I was like‘lets do some fun, affordable tattoos forpeople,’” said Halter.

Canada Day as the colours red and white. And the manyrestaurants, bakeries and pubs of Steveston do not intendto disappoint when as many as 70,000 people descendupon the waterfront town on July 1.

The Buck & Ear Bar and Grill is starting the partyearly with festivities running the entire long weekend,said manager Gennesse Langdon.

On Friday, the Buck is featuring music by DJ Deniseand will be open until 2 a.m.; on Saturday, NorthVancouver reggae band Mostly Marley is performing;and Sunday is barbecue and blues night, starting at 7:30p.m. with live music by the Mud Bay Blues.

“On Monday, Canada Day, we have a band in at twoo’clock in the afternoon called Toy Zebra. They play alot of classic rock and newer stuff. They’re young kids,about 20-years-old and they are phenomenal. We’re open10 a.m. until 1 a.m.”

Prizes will be given out all day including MolsonCanadian swag and a bright red painted adirondack chairtopped with a giant maple leaf.

Over at Tapenade Bistro, owner Vince Morlet says theelegant eatery has a little more fun on Canada’s birthday.

Staff wear whatever they like that day, which tends tobe a lot of the country’s national colours, and there willalso be an R&B Brewing Co. keg display outside.Thespecial beer of the day will be R&B’s Bohemian Lager.

“We’re casting the net a bit wider. On Canada Day,we become Vince’s Diner.”

Another place in Steveston that knows all about goodold fashioned family food is Dave’s Fish & Chips onMoncton Street.

Celebrating their35th anniversary onCanada Day, BryanScott now runs hisparents’ business.

“My dad (Dave)and mom opened therestaurant in 1978.I’ve been managingit since 1999,” saidScott.

On Monday,Dave’s will openfor takeout at 9:30a.m. with the dining

room opening at 11 a.m., and there will be kids mealson special for $5 as well as drink specials.

Scott recommends people show up early because hesaid the place can fill up fast.

“The sidewalks are absolutely packed. Last yearwe had 36 seats outside that were full from open untilclose.”

Scott is also planning a customer appreciation week

to commemorate their anniversary later in the summer.After lunch, people in search of dessert can head to

Bell’s Bake Shop on 1st Avenue for some celebration-themed treats.

Steveston native Jennifer Bell opened the shop in2010 and has been serving eight flavours of unique cup-cakes every day, and said she will have something spe-

cial planned for July 1.“We’re usually closed on Mondays, but we are open-

ing on Canada Day. We’ll have a table out in front of theshop selling cookies and other Canada Day goodies,”said Bell.

Last year, the bakery’s beaver tails — a mini cinna-mon sugar donut shaped like a beaver tail atop a cup-cake — proved very popular.

Bell, who grew up in the Seafair area, said she hasa soft spot for the Salmon Festival, which she has beenattending since she was a child.

She even appeared in the parade with her mother andsister in previous years.

The bakery will be open early in time for the paradeand closed shortly after it ends, around 2 or 3 p.m., shesaid.

The store specializing in unique gifts andfine jewellery, owned by couple Mark andTara Ennevor, will be offering baubles fromthe Denmark-based Pandora line that gohand-in-hand with the festival, said managerIrina Engstrom.

“The Pandora charms can go on a braceletor be worn as a pendant on a necklace,” saidEngstrom, who has been working at Bliss vir-tually since it opened in February 2011.

“We have a charm called Splish-Splashthat is a fish with a dangly tail in sterlingsilver. He has two little blue topaz stones ashis eyes.”

If you’re shopping local, metal art fromNanaimo’s Anvil Island Design will be 10 percent off on July 1.

“He (Jack Willoughby) does differentnature-inspired pieces. There is a salmon ona stand for $64 that’s made out of metal,”said Engstrom. Willoughby uses primarilysteel, aluminum, copper and iron in his work.The pièce de résistance — and is the perfectrepresentation of Steveston — is the “Treeof Love,” a $280 metal wall sculpture in theshape of a Japanese maple tree.

How do you make a fish look cute?That was the challenge mascot designer Josh Wilson

set himself after being asked to give the Steveston SalmonFestival’s Sammy the Salmon a makeover.

“I was asked (by the festival’s organizers) to update their

mascot,” said Wilson, of JBW Mascot Design.“However, I wanted to make him much more appealing

and modern.“It took me about a month on and off. But fish always take

a bit longer to do because they don’t have fur and the skinneeds a bit more work.”

From the design phase to the finished product, Wilsonbuilt a basic body, formed the skin with fabric and then

applied the paint.“It’s one thing to lay the design out on paper, but it’s

something else bringing it to life and making a fish look cute;that’s the challenging part,” added Wilson, who has, for thelast 20 years, worked from his home studio on mascots suchas: an eagle for Surrey Parks; Active Jack for West RichmondCommunity Centre and has done work for the VancouverCanadians, the BC Lions and IKEA.

The new and improved Sammy the Salmon will be out andabout all day Monday at the 68th Steveston Salmon Festivaland is unlikely to feature on the famous alder wood fire bar-becue.

There’s something fishy about Sammy the SalmonMASCOT
